Such a nostalgic gem, there is just something very particular about late 2000's and early 2010's indie songs, that brings me a unique sensation and feeling, I just love it.

Here’s a fun activity you can do. You can find live shows of semi obscure bands you like uploaded by people who bring camcorders to lots of music shows in their area. Already this is really fun bless those people a million times for their service. And then you can find other bands both on that channel generally and from whatever tour/day at that venue that band was at. You can find stuff that’s super obscure you can find whole shows that literally only have like 20 views. It’s really beautiful. Chances are the channel will end up going to a lot of stuff similar in vibes to the band you already like and also often bands that are similar will tour together, and bands that are friends will tour together. It’s a very fun way to find really obscure stuff and get into that as well as see stuff featuring the band you already like! I found a band I had never heard of today and for one of their songs they had the trumpet player from the band I already know come on for one of the songs. It was really fun ^_^
What a guarantor agreement is: A legal document in which the guarantor agrees to pay to the borrower's debt if the latter fails to do so. In real state, a leasing company or a landlord may require a tenant to provide a lease guarantor so that they may rent a property, but sometimes they will accept a security deposity instead. Which is more common depends on the country. A guarantor is only responsible for payments once the primary party of the agreement defaults. Otherwise, the primary party makes the payments normally.
What a guarantor agreement is not: adoption papers.
Look at Kikuri's expression after Hitori asks her to see her play at the school festival. And though she doesn't know it, there was little worry on this anxious kid's part about asking her, too. Hitori genuinely looks up to and trusts her, a self-proclaimed 'mess.' That's a huge feeling to know.
We don't see much of Kikuri's regular life, so this is speculation, but I wonder if helping out this kid on a whim is one of the highlights among the dissatisfaction. Something outside the 'alcoholism spiral'. To the point she braves a typhoon to see her grow.
She sees her past self in her. Maybe she tries to give her the support and advice she would've wanted back then. Notice the blue couch in these two shots, past and present:
In the flashback, she's alone, where she's now sitting with Hitori and encouraging her. Where Hitori has a whole room of people wanting to help her grow. And where perhaps Kikuri didn't quite have that, not yet, but now's part of the reason this kid does.
...I love how Kikuri does not have her life together at all, but after a chance meeting with Hitori she just chooses to be kind, just like that, and I think it's been great for both of them. There's something about strangers just helping each other out that gets me.
