Girl Takes A Huge Risk To Propose A Popular Basketball Player, Only To Get Rejected

Ono tubasa is about to start her education at shirato high school as a freshman she has always been a Meek girl but she has gathered her courage to attend the school that ignited her dreams as expected high school freshmen are full of energy during the self-introduction each student earnestly mentions their name hobbies and aspirations each self-introduction is met with boisterous support and Applause when subasa takes her turn her voice is so soft it can't be heard over the students loud chatter never mind she tells herself as she's used to it then the next one who introduces himself is a tall boy named Yamada da he seems calm but there's no mistaking the enthusiasm in his voice as he says he wants to be a regular in the school's baseball club subasa gives him her full attention because something in what he said coincides with her dream before they get dismissed a pretty girl approaches subasa her name is wak himari she says she came from the same middle school as her in that instant tubasa feels grateful to have had a familiar friend at the start of her high school life after class subasa walks towards the section where the school displays the trophies and awards won from different competitions she sees the array of trophies for the school's Brass Band especially the one that showcases the Gold Award she exclaims how cool the display is and she gets surprised when another student exclaims the same it's dauki and he's looking at the trophies garnered by the school's baseball team the two of them recognize each other from the same class they have both dreamed of attending shirado high school but for different reasons for dauki he's always been a fan of baseball when he was young he watched the televised game of the school during the Nationals it was considered legendary as the baseball team made an epic comeback in the last round this is what ignited DA's dream to become a part of the school's baseball team and experience the same inspiration coincidentally subasa also watched the same game to her The Shining trumpets as they made music to support the team are what kindled her dream to do the same dauk turns to her and makes a promise to enter the Nationals he asks subasa to cheer for him as a member of The Brass Band When It Happens subasa says yes as dauk walks away she realizes he's the first one to believe in her and she's grateful for it but dreams are not so easily achieved tubasa has never played the trumpet let alone another instrument in her life she wants to know what it's like so she attends the very first practice of the band for the school year she meets Hitomi the band Captain who reminds her to fill out the application form and submit it to the adviser and speak speaking of the adviser M Yoko sugimura walks past her brisk and serious interactions for the first time tubasa Witnesses how great the band is and how Grand their sound is as they follow M sugiura's conduct she's a meticulous adviser who points out what the trumpet group needs to improve then the teacher turns to tubasa and asks her what she's doing there tubasa has to make her voice audible just so she can express her intent to join the band later miss sugimura asks her to inflate a balloon subasa tries but she fails the teacher tells her that when she manages to inflate that's when she can apply on her way home she sees dauki training to be the team's catcher the captain is shouting at him to fix his posture or else he won't be able to catch the ball subasa understands that she made a promise to him to cheer him on and so she must work hard too to fulfill it after practicing hard she finally shows miss sugiura that she can inflate the balloon with that the teacher allows her to join the band himari is happy to hear the news dauk over here the girls and tells them the promise he and subasa made for each other himari gives her friend a knowing look but then someone calls dauk another one of their classmates Yushi tells the girls that usui the older boy who called dauk over is the baseball team's Captain he knows dai's potential and has recommended him to join the team meanwhile tubasa meets the other firste students who have also joined the band Hitomi says they join through recommendations when she asks tubasa why she joined despite not knowing how to play the trumpet tubasa say says it's because she wants to cheer for the baseball team the others look at each other wondering how naive this freshman is Hitomi tells her that she needs to train and assigns Yuka another senior student to train her it's not easy to train as subasa needs to know the right mouth shape to blow wind into the instrument the valves and slide she needs to manipulate to create a sound and other things when she finally makes her first tune subasa is incredibly happy she continues to practice as well as watch the bands practice among the new members they talk about mizushima Aki he's the only freshman to become a regular in the band a testament to his prodigious skill in playing the trumpet after the practice tubasa approaches him hoping to learn more about his playing but she finds out that mizushima is Moody and a bit grumpy right off the bat he tells her to quit the band he's heard her reason for joining and he finds her naive annoying for someone as skilled as him it's vexing to know that people only join for shallow reasons people who are not good will only hinder the band's progress to him tubasa is already doing that because the time Yuka spends training her could have been spent on practice tubasa wants to clarify that she's not naive and that her reason is genuine but she also understands his point thus she promises to work hard her efforts don't go unnoticed dauk always hears her practicing playing the trumpet and shares with Kido what he thinks about it it's not as good as expected but something about her tenacity inspires him to do his best as well mizushima also noticed is sasa's progress It's nowhere near his skills but he's impressed at how far she has come considering the short amount of time he tells her to buy a new one as it doesn't sound good when she plays it subasa is grateful to know that mizushima has finally acknowledged her efforts eventually the band needs to present their progress during the school Festival they have to play a piece as part of the school's concert subasa is so nervous this is her first Major Performance as part of the trumpet group she's so afraid to fail and to fail the band so she decided tries to pretend to play the trumpet but her instrument never makes a sound during the performance Miss sugiura notices this after the event himari and her parents approach her they are very proud of how far she's come this makes her feel guilty and uncomfortable later mizushima confronts her as he has also realized what she's done he's disappointed in her and asks whether she was really truthful about doing her best she remains inside their classroom even after the school Festival has ended then dauk finds her there she tells him what happened she admits to him that whenever she feels small she always looks down she thinks she has changed since she joined the band but the performance has made her realize that she'll always look down and give up even as she talks to him she bows her head in shame and guilt dauki suddenly runs away tubasa cries knowing that she has disappointed him and failed to make good on her promise to her surprise dauki returns carrying a bottle of water he seems shocked to see her cry he clarifies that he only got her a drink to calm her down then he asks her for a pen something that will not be easily erased he uses the pen to draw a smiley face on her white shoes there he says when she looks down she'll be reminded that everything will be all right she's moved by his genuine concern for her dauki tells her that when they first talked about their dreams he saw it the imagery of him playing baseball and her in the stands joining the band as they play their music he knew back then that it would come true his smile relieves her guilt and fear years she's also reminded that it was he who believed in her first the next day before their practice subasa apologizes to her seniors for her actions homi sees the sincerity in her apology and so she forgives her subasa looks down and sees the smiley on her shoes she tells herself everything will be all right tubasa also approaches mizushima she thanks him for giving that eye-opening speech Miss sugimura sees her actions and thinks that's all that's needed to be done then she calls the attention of the band since that day is the sumiyoshi festival she allows them to leave early so they can enjoy the festivities that night subasa meets with her classmates as they walk along the street himari runs to her after complimenting each other's kimono himari grabs her hand and pulls her towards a corn dog stand there dauk and Kido are enjoying their snacks then she pushes subasa toward dauk and then takes keto away who has no idea what's happening at first tubasa and dauk are speechless when they look at each other they suddenly feel awkward dauk suggests going to the shrine tubasa agrees there they write their wishes on her card tubasa writes her wish to compete in the fuman hall it's the National brass band competition equivalent to koshian or the national baseball tournament for the High School Division she's a bit shy knowing she's Aiming High despite being a novice dauki thinks it's great and gives her more encouragement when subasa asks what he wrote in his card dauki says it's about their team she tries to grab his card but ends up accident entally hugging him causing another awkward silence between them from the distance himari is rejoicing at her successful matchmaking while keto only realizes what's happening in the next scene we see tubasa class shouting for Joy upon learning that the baseball team has advanced to the Regionals however they don't know that usui got injured during the game the team is uncertain what will happen in their next play on her way home tubasa incidentally meets her senior Yuka who is coming out of a clinic initially she hides her bandaged wrist but then she proceeds to tell tubasa that she has undergone surgery for her tendinitis she makes tubasa promise never to tell anyone in the band about her condition during the Regionals the entire batch of freshman students are present in the stands to support their team with mizushima lead the brass band plays their piece to motivate the team the game is intense with both teams still scoreless even during the ninth inning in the second half shirado plays the defense they need to prevent the opponent from Gaining a score however dauk makes a mistake and it allows the opponent to complete a run thus earning them a point the shirato baseball team lost the Regionals and it's the third time they won't enter the koshian from the stands subasa can see how desperate dauk is she knows that he will blame himself for that regretful mistake he has encouraged her to stand tall in the face of failure this time it's her chance to do the same in the only way she knows how alone she plays the trumpet its sound resounds throughout the whole stadium everyone is looking at her wondering what she's doing she only stops when mizushima puts down her trumpet but she has done her job back at school tubasa receives a severe reprimand from Miss sugimura what she did was a violation of both the rules and tradition between the brass band and the baseball team all subasa can say is sorry but looking at the smile on her shoes she believes she's done nothing wrong meanwhile usui's Dae who still feels down after what happened usui assures him it's not his fault he's not saying this to alleviate dae's feelings but because he genuinely believes in his ability their loss is a lesson that life is not always about winning USU gives his Junior a paper bag containing journals about how to lead a baseball team he also gives him a pair of gloves on which the words advance to Kosen are written usui tells dauk that it is his time to lead the Juniors to koshien and make that dream a reality that night dauki rides his bike towards tubasa house they meet and dauki says he'll apologize to her advisor as well tubasa says it's okay as what she did was done consciously he thinks it's not enough so he promises that he'll improve so that no friend of his will do the same thing again at this point subasa realizes two things first she likes him a lot and second he only sees her as a friend she takes a few breaths and admits that she has feelings for him deep inside him dauki feels elated to know she feels the same way because he too likes her a lot but when he looks at the paper bag usui gave him earlier he realizes he needs to make a painful decision he rejects her saying he wants to focus on baseball understandably tubasa is sad even keto is upset because he and hamari think their friends are compatible but dauk gives an explanation he has betrayed everyone's expectations and failed sasa's dream he thinks it's not the time to be dating keto thinks his friend is an idiot but he doesn't push the matter anymore inside the band's practice room the players have found out about yuka's tendon night she blames subasa for revealing her secret even though the latter has never said anything to anyone Hitomi has already noticed the change in yuka's playing even before she found out about it she makes a hard decision she forbids Yuka to participate in ban practices until her wrist is fully recovered Yuka is adamant about this she's willing to practice and join the regional competition even if it will worsen her condition but Hitomi is firm in her decision because of this Yuka quits the band right on the spot this incident weighs heavily on suba's mind she decides to visit her senior that night to convince her to come back yuka's mother opens the door for her but her daughter won't come out of her room as tubasa leaves the building Yuka finally calls her name she calls tubasa a hypocrite because she still thinks the latter revealed her secret so she could join the band instead of her tubasa wants to refute the accusation but Yuka is too hurt she says tubasa has no Talent whatsoever so she can never be a part of the band no matter how hard she works she tells her to leave and never comes come back the next day a few of tas's seniors found out that she visited Yuka they plan to do it again despite hitomi's warning that night yuka's mother is surprised that more people have come to encourage her daughter to return to the Brass Band outside yuka's room subasa expresses her heartfelt emotions she tells Yuka that she inspired her to work hard even though she's an amateur she has had fun despite the challenges because of yuka's guidance her absence will definitely impact the band's performance still Yuka tells them to leave to everyone's surprise Hitomi arrives she also tries her best to tell Yuka that everyone needs her they all find out that Hitomi and Yuka have made a promise to each other to make it to fuman Hall together she reiterates that they want her to go with them but Yuka is hurting and doesn't want to talk to them yuka's mother is touched by how many friends think about her daughter's situation eventually the band members walk out of the building Hitomi declares that they'll take the gold so they can bring Yuka back and perform in fuman Hall at last it's the day of the competition subasa won't join but she'll be part of the audience to give support to their surprise Yuka arrives she has finally come to her senses she tells Hitomi she'll be watching from the audience while waiting for their peers Yuka apologizes to tubasa for what she said to her before she realizes it's unfair for tubasa to be accused of such tubasa is understanding as always and forgives her senior she tells Yuka she'll work hard to be a regular member because she also wants to be on stage the shirat High School Brass Band gives its best during its 10-minute performance Unfortunately they fall short as they only get the silver award everyone is crying as Miss sugimura gives them a message whoever the judge is and no matter how many times they perform the results of that night will be the same but they should know they've performed well and they should be proud of it Hitomi apologizes to Yuka for failing to keep their promise but Yuka says no apology is needed it's enough for her to know that she's valued by the band and with that the two friends reconcile both tubasa and dauki have experienced their fair share of triumphs and failures they understand that their dreams are not as easy as they seem no matter how hard they work life may throw them a curveball or their instrument will produce a bad tune and all they can do is deal with it regardless as the two meet tubasa says she understands DA's decision to reject her she also makes the same promise to improve so she can become a regular member of the brass band but she asks him for one thing she want wants to continue cheering him on regardless of what happens dauki agrees subasa is thankful that it's him she's fallen for he offers his hand for a handshake a promise for both of them to reach their dreams tubasa takes his hand and seals the deal two years have passed since then tubasa and dauki both Juniors at the start of the movie are now the seniors guiding others in their respective teams dauki has been made team captain and he excels at leading their team meanwhile mizushima is the band's Captain but subasa helps the first years in their training during their practice Miss sugamura presents to them the two pieces they'll be playing for the competition they're titled Blue Sky and belus both pieces are simple marches but they brought shirato High School its first gold they symbolize the solidarity that shirato is proud of M sugimura is confident that with the correct arrangement of the two pieces they can win the gold this puts a lot of pressure on mizushima as this is his final shot to perform at fuma hall tubasa now a close friend of his shares the sentiment she wonders why the teacher said those things with their peace already determined the brass band is starting their practice early Miss sugimura as meticulous as ever calls out the trumpet group to fix the flow of their tone some members who play the clarinet are not happy about the way things are going they confront mizushima and they voice out their frustrations to him they blame the trumpet group for making them look bad because they're not doing well they're the reason why the band has not won any competitions for 3 years mizushima is upset as well he's reverting back to his old gloomy self he even reprimands the first year for not playing well subasa tries to interfere but he directs his anger at her she has no time to think about others when their peers are blaming them for their losses but in her own way subasa believes she can gently train the first year to improve eventually the day comes when Miss sugimura chooses who will be participating in the competition unfortunately subasa isn't chosen she feels sad but she will not let this affect her perseverance the same day the competing members are announced she receives news from keto that dauk has been heavily injured she wants to know how he is she texts him to see if he's all right dauk replies that keto's exaggerating but subasa thinks he just doesn't want her to worry too much in the end tubasa visits him in the hospital DA's condition isn't at all promising he has a cast on his right foot and he needs crutches to walk despite not wanting her to worry dauk is relieved to see her again he hops towards her and she catches him through his hug he wants her to know how comforting her presence is for a few moments they stay that way just holding on tightly to each other after that dauk tries to appear cheerful despite his condition he says he wants to play baseball soon and admits becoming impatient subasa encourages him that he'll be able to get back and she believes it her words bring Comfort to him outside the room one of the baseball team's managers Junior akan Sawa overhears the conversation she doesn't like the blind positivity that subasa gives dauk akan tells her not to say inappropriate consolation despite his injury he needs to heal but he also needs to be realistic about his body subasa will only hinder him she adds that if he really likes Captain dauk she should leave him alone tubasa clarifies that she's been rejected before but she promised to continue cheering him on she doesn't see anything wrong with consoling a friend but akani insists that her Point still stands sub ubasa should leave him alone in truth akani likes dauki and she feels jealous of subasa she wishes that her words of comfort and encouragement will reach him however dauki misses playing so much that he doesn't notice anything around him but when he thinks of tubasa he makes sure to get a peek at her knowing she will be immersed in practice he feels envious that she gets to continue reaching for her dream while he can't do anything about his injury even though she wasn't chosen tubasa has pleaded with M sugimura to use the music room after class so she can train further at first things are going well for her training but it became a major concern for some members especially those who voed their frustrations to mizushima one afternoon he tells the band to practice in groups one girl points out that they can't because subasa keeps the room all to herself and with the advisor's permission it's unfair that she gets to use it even though she's not chosen to compete mizushima gets angry at this does voicing it out make them better players the girl gets humbled by this but mizushima knows this is already an issue he walks out as the pressure gets to him Miss sugamura is aware of what has happened she finds mizushima looking at the band's Banner he says he can't be the captain because he doesn't have the skills to resolve conflicts Miss sugamura relays to him the meaning of the banner it was made when the school received the silver award for the first time it was during her generation that it happened a member made it to remind them of what their true goal was their goal has always been to support the school's baseball team to motivate them and to inspire them with music if everyone does not not share the same goal then can they truly accept whatever the outcome of the competition is Miss sugamura reminds mizushima that the captain's role isn't just to unify the band but to remind everyone about the band's goal this gives mizushima some comfort now that he understands that subasa has been right all along speaking of tubasa she is surprised when akani approaches akani says Dae is on the field and is just getting rained on he has just received the news that his injury may not heal soon akane asks subasa to go to dauki because as much as she doesn't like her she knows she's the only one the captain will listen to but perhaps for the first time dauki has lost all hope the one thing that keeps him going is now removed from him because of his injury and no matter what subasa says it will not change the fact that he won't be able to play in that Year's tournament subasa is at a loss for what to do thankfully Yuka decides to give her a visit Yuka is proud that the amateur Junior she trained before is now training others she is there to thank subasa for believing in her when she was depressed with her injury she says that continuing to encourage someone is as hard as doing their best and that's why that one yell amidst the booze can give someone strength subasa is grateful for her words later she visits the shrine she and dauk visited during the festival she hangs her card on it is her written wish for diuk to get better soon then she sees her own card from before it feels like a long time has passed since then she remembers that she hadn't seen what was written on DA's card so she tries to look for it when she finds it she is surprised to know that dauk has wished for her to succeed all this time while she's battling with her insecurities dauk has been supporting her all along she sees more cards with his name and wishes on them all bearing the same hope that she will reach her dream she runs back to school now that she knows what to do the next day Kido visits dauki in the hospital even in his State he gives his friend pointers on the correct posture for pitching keto tells him it's okay to rest from his captain duties but dauk is stubborn just then himari enters the room and urges dauk to come with her they go to the rooftop where to dauki surprise the shirado brass band is assembled on the ground apparently tubasa has asked her colleagues to play a piece for the baseball team's Captain even though some have refused most of them including mizushima agree to come with her mizushima points out that their music can be used to uplift people's hearts he wants to bring back that version of shirato and if they can cheer up at least one person then they have done their job and so the band proudly plays their piece afterward there's a consensus among the members that they feel better after this performance they only need to continue this way to win the Regionals the brass band has managed to bag the gold in the Regionals now miss sugamura chooses the members who will participate in the Nationals this time tubasa is finally chosen she now has the chance to play at fuman Hall after their dismissed mizushima expresses his gratitude to her for always leading them to their true goal meanwhile a few days later dauk returns to the team he's gotten permission to be a replacement catcher he declares to the team that they will win the gold and proceed to the koshan at last the day of the baseball regional tournament has arrived everyone is revved up with anticipation and excitement usui is there as is M sugimura the brass band has taken their seats ready to cheer their team on at any time keto serves as the pitcher during the first inning shirato is doing well hugely thanks to his pitching the tips that dauk shared with him have been helpful however no one has scored even after eight Innings the pressure is high on both teams to get that coveted Point keto's performance becomes less effective and he's beginning to worry in the first half of the ninth inning the opponent scores shirato makes a gamble when it's announced that dauk will replace the catcher Kido regains his confidence and his pitches help the team prevent the opponent from Gaining another point in the second and final half of the inning shirato is on the offensive they need a home run to advance to the koshien initially the Batters do their best acquiring a lead in the game when it's dai's turn to bat mizushima tells tubasa to lead the solos he knows that this moment is important to her and so tobasa confidently plays her trumpet praying that her music will reach dauk and it does dauk sees her with determination in his eyes he gets ready on the first pitch dauki manages to hit the ball out of the park and in AO automatic home run is awarded to him effectively ending the game they win the Regionals and they will be advancing to the koshien in the aftermath of the victory subasa stands in front of the display trophies da walks toward her relieved to find her there now that the team is confirmed to advance to the Kosen he can finally say that he loves her subasa Smiles her feelings for him have not changed since she tells him she loves him too they end the day with a kiss in the end credits of the movie It's shown that the shirado brass band has finally performed at fuman Hall and in the end they bagged the gold
