Mugi!
Good morning!
Sorry!
After we'd left, Ritsu realized that she'd forgotten her handkerchief.
Huh? Yui isn't here yet?
It was her idea that we should all go to school together.
This is a bad day to pick to run late.
I'll try texting her.
Got an answer already.
That was fast.
"Goe awne whithote mee"?
What happened to her?
I think it must mean "Go on without me," don't you?
Must be!
I'll call her.
She's not picking up.
What should we do? Go on without her?
Let's wait a while longer.
I guess we should.
She's here!
Yui-chan!
I'm so sorry!
I woke up early, but then I started playing with Geeta, and the next thing I knew...
Don't sweat it, it's okay.
Come on! Let's move!

Final Episode: Graduation Ceremony!
Congratulations on graduating!
Good morning, class. Is everyone here?
Not everyone!
Miss Akiyama, Kotobuki, Tainaka, and Hirasawa aren't here yet.
Wait! Miss Akiyama, Kotobuki, Tainaka, and Hirasawa aren't here yet.
Once you have your corsage to pin on the graduates, please proceed to the auditorium.
Here.
Azusa, let's go.
The graduation ceremony is finally here.
Time to say goodbye to all the upperclassmen...
Hurry up!
I think we'll make it!
Geeta's so heavy! I think we'll make it!
Sis!
Classic Light Music Club. Always living on the edge.
Ow!
What happened?! What happened?!
I walked into the wall!
We're so sorry!
What in the world is the matter with you girls?
We're sorry, Sawa-chan!
Geez...
Miss Hirasawa!
Yui! You have a hole!
I tripped on the way here!
What are you going to do?
It's all right. Ui left a change of tights with me just in case.
Whoa! Is she psychic?!
Hurry up and get changed.
Yes, ma'am!
I'll go with her. Yes, ma'am!
No running in the hall!
We're having a crisis already...
You haven't signed this yet, right? It's the thank-you card for Miss Yamanaka.
Sure, I'll get right on it.
You four are the only ones who haven't signed it.
Sorry.
Nurse's Office
How did it go?
I can't believe I did this to myself on graduation day...
It's okay, you can't tell with your bangs covering it up.
Really?
I sure hope the gradation ceremony goes off without any surprises.
It'll be fine! Just fine! Nothing else is going to happen!
Very well. All remaining students, please pin a corsage on a graduating student.
Excuse me!
They're here!
Sorry I took so long!
Thank goodness! Go on, get a corsage!
Yes, ma'am!
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Yui!
You ready?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh, I almost forgot. Yui, sign this.
What is it?
A surprise present for Sawa-chan. The whole class is signing it.
You brought it with you?
Accidentally.
You girls! Accidentally.
Commencement Ceremony
Get inside!
Coming!
What are you doing?
Nothing!
Nothing at all, Sawa-chan.
What are we gonna do with this during the ceremony?
Well...
Use it as a fan?
We don't really need one of those in here.
Maybe we should have Sawa-chan hold it for us.
Are you kidding?
Oh, right.
What if I keep it like this the whole time?
Through the whole ceremony?
I'm sorry.
Well, I guess that's our only option.
Hey, the auditorium looks different than usual!
This really is our graduation ceremony... Isn't it?
The 85th Sakuragaoka Girls' High School commencement ceremony will now begin.
All rise for an address from the principal.
To all of our graduating students. All of the students' families.
Congratulations on this happy occasion.
Please take your seats.
In your three with us, you graduates have made many new friends, had many experiences,
and made many precious memories.
I'm so worried about Yui hiding it that I can't focus on the ceremony! and made many precious memories.
We, the members of the faculty, wish for your
future health and success from the bottom of our hearts.
Everyone is fussing over Yui...
What's the matter?
All rise.
Is her stomach bothering her?
No, she was hiding something earlier.
But what?
Snacks!
Geeta?!
Surely not Ton-chan!
No...
Be seated.
What could it be?
Your diplomas will now be presented.
Will the class representative please come forward to the stage?
Is she focusing on Yui?
She's totally focused on her!
Graduates, please rise.
Will you pass this on to Yui? Tell her that Miss Sawako is really worried about her.
Yui? Sure.
Mugi-chan.
Miss Tainaka.
What?!
Message from Mio-chan. She says Miss Sawako is hurried.
Sawa-chan is hurried?
Hurried to do what? Why tell me?
Be seated. Hurried to do what? Why tell me?
What's Mio-chan trying to tell me?
And now, the valedictory address.
Yes, sir.
Nodoka-chan's speech!
Honored faculty.
Thank you for gathering here today on the occasion of our graduation.
Looking back on them, our three years in this high school were rich ones.
I kept it safe!
Thank goodness!
I was freaking out through the whole ceremony!
I was freaking out, too!
Mio-chan, what did you mean that Sawa-chan was hurried?
I said that Miss Sawako was WORRIED...
You did?
I heard "worried," too.
Oh, it all worked out!
You were the one who botched it, weren't you?
So, have you signed it, Yui?
Not yet.
Sign it quick, 'kay?
Here's a pen.
Thanks.
Dear Sawa-chan, best wishes.
That doesn't sound quite right.
Don't you say that at weddings?
But I already wrote it!
This is really gonna sting. It'll hurt her bad.
Okay, I'll revise it...
Go back to the classroom, girls.
I'll be handing out your diplomas.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
And by the way, Yui-chan what were you doing during the ceremony?
Nothing at all.
Liar. I was so worried that I couldn't focus on the ceremony!
I kept it safe!
Kept what safe?
You'll see soon enough!
You'll tell me right now.
Let's get back to the classroom, Miss Sawako!
Hurry! Hurry!
Hey!
Certificate of Graduation Yui Hirasawa
You've graduated, Yui.
Thanks to you.
Have you all checked to see that your names are written correctly on your diplomas?
Once you've checked them, put them in their container and take them home.
I love that sound!
All right. This marks the end of your time as high schoolers.
Well, um...
You were the first class assigned to me,
so I'm glad that all of you have made it through to see this day.
Even after you've left here...
take care of yourselves.
All right... Class dismissed.
Ma'am!
There's something that we'd like to give you
as a token of our appreciation for all that you've done for us.
Um, who has it now?
Oo! Me! Me!
In that case, Yui-chan, please present it.
Isn't that the song they play when returning a championship flag?
Miss Yamanaka, thank you for looking after us!
Wait, is this what you were holding during the ceremony?
It was!
Thank you.
I'll cherish it forever.
I... I'm the one who... I should be thanking you.
I was lucky to have you as my first class.
Even though you've graduated, make sure you stop by to visit, okay?
I've been waiting for you people to arrive!
Whoa, Sawa-chan!
'Bye.
See you. 'Bye.
Azusa.
Azusa!
Hey, Japanese doll.
Oh. Jun.
Are you okay?
I'm heading up to the Jazz Club room, so keep it together, all right?
Bye.
And you're going to the music room, right?
What about you?
My family will be celebrating Sis' graduation, so I have to go home and get ready.
Celebrate it, huh?
That's right! This is a happy occasion!
I'm kinda sad that I won't get to wear the same uniform as my sister anymore, though.
She's always been one step ahead of me, leaving me behind.
But she's my big sister, so that's not her fault.
Ui...
Sorry. I'll be happy for them, too.
Thanks!
Excuse me.
Can I get a picture with the Light Music Club, too?
You bet!
Sure! Stand right here in the middle!
Thank you.
Um, you're all going to the same college, right?
Keep playing music, all right?
Your school festivals shows were always...
Really funny!
Funny?
Not "awesome" or "really good"?
Later!
Bye-bye!
Where are you going for your graduation trip?
Sawa-chan sure is popular...
Do you think she'll come up to the club room later?
She'll come for tea.
Definitely.
I need to stop by the student council office.
See ya, Nodoka!
See you!
Later!
Nodoka-chan!
When you're ready to go, let's walk home together!
I'll call you!
Thank you, ma'am!
Sawa-chan, you're the best!! Thank you, Sawa-chan!
We love you, Miss Yamanaka!
Come on, I can't erase that!
Thank you!
Here you go.
Hey! Azusa!
I'm sorry. I had planned to make tea for you guys today.
Nonsense!
Azusa! Over here!
Listen, Azusa...
Yes?
About the future of the club...
It'll be fine!
But all this time, we didn't do much to find new...
I really mean it, it will be fine.
I'll do whatever it takes to get new club members.
I'll never, ever, ever let the club be disbanded!
Azusa-chan...
More importantly, I feel like I've never thanked all of your properly.
So I wrote a thank-you letter to each of you.
I wrote them before rushing here.
Ritsu-senpai.
Thanks.
Mio-senpai.
Thank you.
Mugi-senpai.
Thank you.
Yui-senpai.
Thank you.
Um, can we read these now?
Sure, go right ahead.
Oo, I wonder what mine says?
Thanks, Azusa.
Don't mention it.
Senpais, congratulations on...
What's wrong?
Azusa?
Please don't graduate...
Azusa?
I won't yell at you for leaving the club room a mess and doing nothing but drinking tea.
So please... don't graduate.
Azu-nyan!
I'm sorry... i just...
What happened to your forehead?
Did you hurt yourself?
Did you run into something?
Yes... I know this is your graduation day...
It's supposed to be a happy occasion...
I have band-aids!
All done!
I'm really sorry... I promised myself that I wouldn't cry...
I wanted to send you off with a smile...
I'll be fine.
I'll keep the Light Music Club going.
And I have Ton-chan, so I'm not...
This is for you!
It's a picture of us when we were freshmen!
We were younger then than you are now.
This is for you, too!
It's a flower with five petals! Just like us, Azu-nyan!
How dare you upstage us like this, Yui!
Yes, don't make us look bad!
Azusa, we have a song that we want you to hear.
Not you, too, Mio!
We wrote it just for you, Azu-nyan!
Yui-chan, that was supposed to be my line!
Azu-nyan.
Come with me.
Look, if we were to give a name to the fragments
Of our memories and save them
"Treasure" would be perfect, wouldn't it?
So, we lived out so many passionate days
That our hearts
Reached full capacity
Our well-worn uniforms and indoor shoes
The doodles on the whiteboard
Do we really have to leave them
Next to the entrance to tomorrow?
But still, we met a wonderful angel
Graduation isn't the end
We'll stay friends forever
Pictures of us all together
Matching keychains
We'll shine on forever
Thank you for always smiling
The train station platform, a dry riverbed
Even if we're not together, let's look up at the same sky
And sing in unison!
But still, we met a wonderful angel
Graduation isn't the end
We'll stay friends forever
If you say you love me
I'll say I really, really love you in return
Do you have all your stuff now?
We'll be together forever
Wow, you're not very good, are you?
But I want to hear you play again and again anyway.
Encore!
You join in on this one, Azu-nyan!
Sure!
Are you gonna listen to us play?
One, two!
The End

They're coming back...
The Light Music Club?
Next Time The Light Music Club?
Next Time That club on the third floor?
Next Time
Wouldn't it be better to not overthink it?
She's right. Just write down whatever pops into your head.
The third floor? No, I hardly ever hear anyone practicing up there.
Visually, it'll look like a music video,
and you'd play in a beachfront warehouse or something.
You'd film from a high angle, and make it look totally awesome!

I've got it!
