Yell for the Blue Sky (Aozora êru) (青空エール)

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Since it's the first day,

everyone should introduce themselves.

I am Himari Wakita.

I came from Central Western Middle School.

Um. I like dancing.

Pleased to meet all of you.

Okay. Nice to meet you.

I'm Yasushi Kido.

I will do my best in club activities, romance, and studies!

Hey! What do you mean, romance, huh?!

Romance is love!

Settle down, settle down!

Next is...

Ono.

Here.

I'm Tsubasa Ono.

I graduated from Central Western Middle School.

I want to join the brass band club...

Oh really?!

You used to be a South Middle School Soccer Club member?

Yeah, really.

I'm also doing soccer.

You too?!

Hey! Be quiet over there!

Hey.

Pleased to meet all of you.

Then next is...

Yamada!

Okay!

My name is Daisuke Yamada.

My hobby is baseball.

Baseball is also my specialty.

Also, I'm going to Koshien.

Amazing!

He said it!

Do your best!

Ono.

Looks like we're the only ones who came from the same middle school.

Let's get along.

Yes. Let's get along, Wakita.

Huh? Call me Himari.

Can I call you Tsubasa?

Okay.

Let's go home together.

Um, you see...

I would like to join a club.

Which club?

Um... Brass band club...

Oh?! Are you sure?!

I heard that club is very strict!

Besides, were you at the brass band during middle school?

Um... I wanted to but...

So cool!

Shirato sure is amazing!

Yes.

- Brass band... - Baseball...

I see.

Shirato excels in the brass band too.

When I was in primary school,

I watched Shirato went to Koshien.

The last round was the fifth comeback.

I also saw that game!

Really?

Even though the game

was not in their favor,

but the players and the audience in the stands did not give up.

Music echoed through the sky.

The trumpets are shimmering.

It was mesmerizing.

That's when I adored Shirato brass band.

Me too!

After watching that game,

I wanted to get in Shirato.

Nice isn't it?

To see something like that.

I will definitely go to Koshien.

When that time comes, will you cheer for me at the stand?

It's a promise!

Okay.

I have always looked down at my shoes.

But because you believed in me,

I looked up above.

The sky above is so blue.

Yell for the Blue Sky

Hello there.

Hello.

Hi.

Are you a freshman?

We will first start with full ensemble.

After it's done, please pass your application to our adviser.

Um…

Stand!

Bow.

If you please!

Play "Rome" freely from the top.

Yes, Ma'am.

The alignment of playing is off.

What is that pitch?

Be sure to play accordingly.

Yes, Ma'am.

Trumpets, give more sound in F.

Yes, Ma'am.

Okay, once more.

Who are you?

Umm... I want an application form...

I can not hear you.

I am first year section four, Tsubasa Ono.

What's your instrument? I am first year section four, Tsubasa Ono.

What's your instrument?

I want to try to play the trumpet...

Are you a beginner?

Take this.

Umm... How about the application form?

Try inflating it.

Okay.

Come back after you can inflate it.

Okay.

Here!

Come at with all you've got, Daisuke!

Yes, Sir!

Daisuke. Don't flinch.

You'll lose a point if you do.

We'll lose the game!

Okay! Please do it one more time!

Ready!

Okay!

You're still flinching!

Yes!

You flinched again!

I am sorry!

Again!

Yes!

Alright.

This much this year again?

Well, you see, no matter how prestigious your club is,

we can't just put everything on the brass band.

I think you also know that the instruments requires periodic maintenance money.

Would you consider filling out my payment in the Parent's Association?

But if you can produce some results,

I think no one would complain.

Right, Ms. Sugimura?

Of course.

That old bastard.

Excuse me, Ma'am!

Okay...

I want to join.

I hope to play the trumpet.

You got in?!

Good for you!

You surprisingly have guts, Tsubasa.

That's because Ono promised to cheer for me at Koshien.

What?

- It's not what you think... - When did it became like that?

It's not like a promise like that...

What then?

Daisuke.

Yes.

Sorry.

Are you alright from this morning's practice?

I'm completely alright.

I wonder who he is.

He is Daisuke's senior since middle school

and the captain of the baseball team, Usui.

Daisuke is highly looked up to.

Even though received a lot of school recommendations,

Usui took him to Shirato baseball club.

Yamada sure is amazing.

But who are you?

Wakita!

I'm Kido! Kido!

I'm kidding! Just kidding!

Hey! You startled me!

I am first year section four, Tsubasa Ono.

I would like to cheer for the players

adoring the trumpet that I joined the club.

Let's get along.

Cheer? You mean the baseball players?

Yes.

Other first-year students are mostly recommended for admission.

They'll start participating in practice from the start of spring break.

Learn the basic skills from Yuuka.

Yes.

Thank you.

Let's get along.

Let's get along, okay?

Thank you.

Let's start with the lips' shape.

Okay.

There is a corresponding mouth's shape necessary to make a certain sound.

That is called embouchure.

Embouchure?

Embouchure.

The vibrations from the mouth

will guide the instrument and increase the sound amplification with this mouthpiece.

That is the trumpet.

Then try imitating my mouth.

Okay.
