"This program is brought to you by EMI Music Japan." "Japan" "You still feel the same way?" "Yes." "I see." "You have no talent." "Sensei." "Just Intonation - intent" "Miss?" "Yes?" "I am sorry." "I am leaving right now." "It's fine." "Mr. Ichinose would like to have a brief word with you." "Excuse me." "This is my first classical concert." "But I was really moved!" "Your music resonated really in my body and soul." "And the intonation was so clear." "I've never heard anything like it." "The song you played for the encore was especially amazing!" "I thought it might be rude of me to suddenly invite you here." "But I am just happy to hear you say that." "may I be so bold to ask your name?" "Minamo Aoi." "Miss Minamo?" "It has a lovely ring to it." "So Eiichiro sent you here." "Eiichiro was my senior during my violin studies." "And I aspired to be like him." "Dr. Kushima played the violin?" "And you wanted to be like him?" "and shakes his test tubes?" "Him in a tuxedo with a violin?" "I can't picture that." "I can't picture him as anything other than a violinist." "Was he really that great?" "You said the encore piece I played was wonderful." "unlike any other temperament." "Just Intonation?" "Just intonation was devised to create beautiful harmony by considering how the various pitches should best be tuned." "a form of Just Intonation. the even more complex tuning gives rise to a flaw in which harmonies loose their clarity during modulation." "Eiichiro was able to overcome this flaw and master the technique." "Is that impressive?" "That's right." "It is like walking across the deck of a storm-tossed ship with no support." "Mr. Ichinose?" "He achieved this in his teens." "Then why would he stop playing the violin?" "I don't know." "I see." "I have a favor to ask you." "Mr. Ichinose." "You just have to tell me." "This violin was given to me by Eiichiro a long time ago." "I will have no further use of it." "I would like return it to its rightful owner." "I would have given it to him myself." "so I don't have anytime to see him." "So would you return this to him on my behalf?" "Sure!" "This is hard." "I just can't picture it." "Thank you for the concert ticket." "And..." "Here it is." "Mr. Ichinose asked me to give this to you." "He said you used to be an amazing violinist." "I had no idea." "You look as if you have no interest in art." "I love to watch you play sometime." "Waste of time." "And I have no interest in putting it on display." "Give it back to Kazune." "meaning harmony." "Excuse me." "I'm sorry." "I should be the one apologizing." "I troubled you with such an unreasonable request." "Why do you have to give this back to him?" "I am not worthy of this violin." "I guess it has a lot of your memories in it." "I took up the violin because Eiichiro's performance. he never once came to my performance." "And then..." "No talent?" What do you mean?" "You did win the competition today." "I don't understand at all." "What you don't understand is your talent." "Kazune." "I devoted my life to practicing." "I sent Eiichiro my concert ticket." "But..." "He never sat in those seats." "Not even once till today." "I wonder if this means I have not yet live up to his expectations." "Then don't retire." "My aging body won't let me play my music anymore." "The concert you came to see was my last chance." "Could I ask you to returning this to him once more?" "I can't bear even the sight of it." "I am in your debt." "Sensei played the violin?" "Even I can't picture that." "This is the first time I hear about it." "Master Kushima had won many major recital competitions by the age of seventeen." "he stayed away from the stage since then." "Was he that good?" "I am not sure what this means." "But he said that he was able to played in Just Intonation." "What's that?" "I told you that I have no idea. have a beautiful sonority." "the pitches within a single octave are chosen based on their geometrical ratios." "It is a tuning system in which the primary triads have beautiful resonance. harmony looses its clarity during modulation. retuning is required with every modulation. it is theoretically feasible in the absence of fixed pitch." "it requires skill to discern the subtle difference in pitch." "That is really something." "what should I do with this thing?" "Why did you promise him in the first place?" "You knew it would be a big responsibility." "Actually..." "The staff of Denriken goes to a classical concert once a year." "But Sensei turns down the invitation every time." "I assumed he didn't like classical music." "It is not just only classical music." "There is nothing related to music in his room." "I think it is accurate to say that he has no interest in it." "Kushima has this kind of tendency with things he considered to be done. and this is why he has not yet attended Mr Ichinose's concert?" "That is a bit cold-hearted." "I understand why you feel that way." "But Kushima sees things as either one or zero." "You can see that from the way he deals with people." "that's true." "But I don't think you can brush aside Mr. Ichinose's feelings so easily." "or may be I should return this to Mr. Ichinose." "But something inside me is saying that neither is the right way." "It's right on the tip of my tongue." "I agree." "Human emotions and social obligations are not so easily brushed away." "I think you should just do what you think is best." "I shall learn from you." "It's on the house." "But don't tell your friends." "Thank you." "as expected." "Welcome." "Why are you alone?" "Is that a violin?" "Minamo?" "I'm holding this for someone." "I knew it." "There's no way you could play an instrument." "That's not true." "I'm practicing right now." "See?" "A recorder?" "Minamo." "Right here?" "Well." "so this is all I can do." "I know that song." "It's that one." "it's that." "Old McDonald!" "The Wind in the Willows!" "Wrong!" "It's not?" "I was sure it was Old McDonald." "are you free?" "We were thinking of checking out some clothes." "Want to come with us?" "there's a sale going on." "Really?" "but I..." "That's it!" "you all right?" "I'm fine." "It's fine." "I've got somewhere to go." "We'll shop another time." "I was surprised to learn you played the violin." "No one asked." "Why did you stop?" "I had no talent." "You did play in Just Intonation." "That is just a skill." "You can't call that talent." "Then what is talent for you?" "Love." "emotion." "Call it want you want." "Is this about how much you devote yourself to music?" "Holon said that it is quite difficult to play in Just Intonation." "It is almost like trying to solve a complicated equation." "But music is not made of equations." "It is much closer to calculating the value of pi." "This is Ludolph van Ceulen's calculation." "This is considered to be the limit for practical use." "That's right." "Mastering a skill is analogous to calculating to the 35th decimal point. it is nothing more than a string of meaningless and vague numbers." "every calculation brings you closer to the solution." "And the very act of continuing this calculation is talent for you. as it suited my personality to just use the part adequate for practical purpose." "This means that I lacked the love to carry on the calculation." "That's why I quit music." "But Ichinose has this love?" "he wouldn't have kept playing for half century." "And he wouldn't have kept on sending you concert tickets all this time." "you are the embodiment of music itself." "He put me on a pedestal." "then you should point this out to him." "Am I cold-hearted?" "That is is not true." "You've been pursuing the Earth Order for over fifty years." "it seems to me you're even more passionate than ever before." "I think it's time for you see him once again." "I didn't give it to Dr. Kushima." "I see." "I learned that music can move people." "That's why." "I've played the violin for decades." "But my music still isn't worthy of Eiichiro's ears." "I'll let you keep that violin." "I can't do it anymore." "That's not true." "Don't you need the violin?" "you can't get Dr. Kushima to hear your music." "But I think it is worthwhile to continue without giving up." "What a nice concert." "I don't have much time left." "Will I ever be able to catch up to you?" "and you have found love." "I found something greater than music and sought after it." "I can't just let you catch up." "I just hope I have the talent." "There is no man without love. the little islet next to Saipan. white sandy beaches and cobalt blue sea." "Actually this Mañagaha islet serves as the model for the Artificial Island." "the theme behind Real Drive:" "I am experiencing it in person." "the inspiration behind the Metal network." "Stay in tuned." "Real Drive!" "This program was brought to you by EMI Music Japan."
