Tsurune: Irodori no Issha Episode 13 - Summer Memories

Yeah I totally planned to release this during the summer...all according to plan

Also I’m still trying to figure out how to upload the audio dramas...should I upload it to google drive or mega? In a zip file? Give me suggestions below

Nanao, Seiya, Ryouhei, Kaito: Let’s work hard together!

Kaito: There’s so few people!

Seiya: Well, it is a self-study day after all

Nanao: The girls are all taking the day off as well

Seiya: Takigawa-san isn’t here because of shrine duties. And Tommy-sensei will come in the afternoon.

Ryouhei: Oh...how’s Minato?

Seiya: His fever went down, but we can’t say that he’s back to normal

Nanao: Is today the third day? We’ve been working hard this whole summer.

Kaito: Isn’t he impatient to draw a bow soon?

Seiya: He tried to come, but we forcibly sent him back to his room. He said he’s going to properly sleep, but...

Kaito: Then, should we begin practicing?

Seiya: No, we have a big job to do today before Tommy-sensei can come.

Kaito: W-What kind of big job

Seiya: Cleaning the boys’ changing room!

Nanao, Ryouhei, Kaito: Geh!

Nanao: Wow~ we really made a big mess, haven’t we

Ryouhei: We had tournaments, joint practices, training camps, Nationals, so we couldn’t really clean~

Seiya: Everyone cleans the kyudojo together, but the boys and girls are in charge of their own changing rooms.

Seiya: This is a perfect opportunity, so let’s clean this place up and welcome the new semester with a good feeling

Ryouhei: Wow, look at this. It’s all worn out~

Seiya: That’s Minato’s rubber bow.

Kaito: He used it that much?

Nanao: He’s really tenacious

Minato: He even endured Takigawa-san’s high-handedness. I think he accomplished it really well

Kaito: Masa-san was no match for a “bow fanatic”

Seiya: Mmm? Some kind of note? Yugake, custom made, outer border, leather cord...

Ryouhei: Oh, that! That’s mine...

Nanao: Were you going to replace your yugake?

Kaito: Didn’t you just buy one? 

Ryouhei: No, I...I just wanted to get stronger quickly so I won’t slow everyone down. I thought I’d improve if I changed my yugake.

Seiya: But, you didn’t buy it?

Ryouhei: Yeah. I know the only thing I can do is to work hard

Nanao: There are no shortcuts in learning. And in the same way, there’s no kindou in kyudo~*

Seiya: Now I found a DVD behind the shelves. Whose is this?

Ryouhei: ?

Ryouhei: “Beginner’s Guide to Yoga”?

Kaito: Whose DVD is this? Who is the one who secretly doing yoga?

Nanao: Now that I think about it, I saw Kacchan secretly putting a DVD in his bag once

Kaito: Ugh...

Kaito: Well, you see... I was looking up things about dantian breathing and found out that it’s similar to how you breathe in yoga, so I thought I’d watch it for some reference. What’s wrong with that?

Ryouhei: That’s so cool!

Seiya: So, was it helpful?

Kaito: They say that natural and correct breathing can create a regular, balanced mental state. Masa-san said the same thing before

Seiya: So, is this shamen uchiokoshi book yours too?

Kaito: No, that’s not mine

Nanao: I guess it’s mine?

Ryouhei: No way, Nanao, you also became obsessed with shamen?

Nanao: No, rather than admiring it, it’s more that I want to deepen my knowledge of kyudo.

Nanao: I want to know why there are other schools. Once I knew that, I might know more about shoumen uchiokoshi than I do now

Kaito: Hmm

Seiya: Book learning and actual practice. Both are important

Nanao: Yeah. I didn’t plan on focusing so much on kyudo in my high school life, though

Ryouhei: It kinda feels like all of us

Kaito: Are total “bow maniacs.”

Nanao: Yep

Minato: Sorry, I’m late...

Everyone: Minato!

Minato: I’m fine now. My fever dropped a while ago. So I’m okay!

Seiya: Kaito, Ryouhei. Hold Minato down

Kaito and Ryouhei: Got it

Minato: Fweh!?

Nanao: Okay, Minato. Turn right around and go back to your bed

Seiya: I'll lock the door and go, so you guys go ahead

Nanao: Roger that, president!

Minato: But I just came here!?

Kaito: You’re recovering! Don’t push yourself

Nanao: No one’s a bigger “bow maniac” than Minato

Minato: I haven’t drawn a bow for three days...

Ryouhei: You’re gonna be fine. The target won’t run away

Seiya: You can come right away after your fever is down

Kaito: You’re so obsessive...

[dustykanvas]

this is for the 4 other people who watch tsurune and found their budding friendship endearing

i feel like ryohei would just randomly show up at shuu’s place with peasant food and shuu will just be mind blown every time like the soft rich boi he is

and thus begins the saga of ryohei just showing shuu new worlds of flavour

excuse the low quality pile of cup noodles i just couldn’t be bothered to draw them lmao use your imagination

A bunch of boys bonding through the medium of some sport or club activity?

Of course I've been watching this.

Tsurune Character Songs Album Review

We had a lot of thoughts about these songs while working with the lyrics, so we decided to do a mini album review! Please enjoy listening to each songs as we reflect on the lyrics and composition~

Up Stairs

Mod Yumi: A very gentle, comforting song, as expected from a Minato/Seiya duet. The composers did an excellent job capturing the feeling of nostalgia; this somehow feels like a song I've known and loved for years. The lyrics are perfect--I love the references to the bridge scene from s1 ep10. The line "I had a place where my heart could relax" is so precious <3 Overall, I don't think it's the strongest song on the album, but it's definitely one of my top faves!

Mod Optimus Prime: A heartfelt way to start off the album! It's very sweet and mellow, which of course really fits the fact that, y'know, the song is about Minato and Seiya's relationship! It's more or less just a straight callback to all of season one, but it's really touching how (both literally and figuratively) they come together at the end there.

Crossover

Mod Yumi: This song is so excessively dramatic and I kinda love it?? It does NOT sound like a song that ties into a soothing, chill slice of life archery anime and I am here for it. But I'm also weak for synth horns; give me a cheesy overexuberant fake brass section and I'm sold. Bonus points for all of the archery references and unnecessarily homoerotic lyrics. (And special shoutout to Mod Optimus Prime, our resident FukuJun stan, for helping me with the color codes because I was completely lost lmao)

Mod Optimus Prime: Probably the character duo song with the most...attitude to it? And sass, which of course, fits these two incredibly troublesome boys. To me, it's almost like the two are having a back-and-forth with each other while also brazenly admitting to each other just how tangled up they are—admittedly a reoccurring theme for the duet songs, but that doesn't make it any less cute, I think!

Ari no Mama de

Mod Yumi: Very cute and wholesome, doesn't really do it for me in terms of composition though. I do think this is the most well-acted song on the album. Having heard both of these seiyuu sing as other characters (notably Suzuki Ryouta as Bisco from Sabikui Bisco and Yano Shougo as Mafuyu from Given), I was blown away by how different they both managed to sound! Changing your voice to that extent while singing is not an easy thing to do. I was also tickled by the fact that they both noticeably sang less well than I know they're both capable of singing, because it suited the characters better to do so. Listening to this song, you wouldn't think either of these singers are particularly talented, but that fact is proof in and of itself that they ARE talented. Mad respect for the skill displayed here!

Mod Optimus Prime: Unsurprisingly, sunshine boy Ryouhei and the other local cheery boy have an easygoing and slow duet! I can't really say too much aside from the fact that the lyrics are both just really cute and earnest—you can see Ryouhei's influence here, haha.

Growing Up

Mod Yumi: Very cute, very catchy! I enjoy this song a lot. As a side note, I find it interesting that besides Minato, Nanao is the only character to be featured in two songs. One of the things I like about Nanao is that he's characterized mainly through his relationships with other characters. Sometimes when we see this happening it's more to do with lazy character writing (and lbr, it usually happens with female characters). But in this case, it actually builds our understanding of the character, rather than just casting him into the side character role of 'only here to develop the MCs'. To me it's always felt like he's the most put-together of the team, watching over everyone else and giving them a nudge in the right direction, while blending in so effortlessly they don't suspect a thing, like the social chameleon he is. Oops, this just turned into me gushing about Tsurune character writing lol. The song's nice idk what else to tell ya

Mod Optimus Prime: Also yet another honest song—a rare thing for Kacchan! It's obviously about Kaito and Nanao's close friendship and the further development during season two, so it's fitting we also get to see more of Nanao's (somewhat hidden) stubborn side here. Not to meme here, but really shows how their relationship fits the, "the more things change, the more things stay the same," aka them supporting ("protecting") each other through thick and thin.

Gekkou

Mod Yumi: I'm not the biggest fan of the composition of this song. I can't put my finger on why, but the main melody isn't working for me (and doesn't work great for Asashin's voice either tbh). That said, the backing track lives rent free in my head, I'm OBSESSED. And I love the dreamy feel of the lyrics! Whereas the others feel more like a dialogue between the singers, this one feels like a poem. The ethereal quality of the music and the lyrics draws me back to Masa-san's introduction, when he was a cryptid/ghost (lmao) appearing in the dead of night to guide Minato back to archery

Mod Optimus Prime: I've only heard Asanuma Shintarou (Masaki's VA) sing in a higher register, so this was both surprising and pleasant—it's quite soothing to hear! It's also fitting that the only Real Adult™️ with bounds of experience compared to these young'uns gets a really poetic and dramatic song with, of course, lots of moon references.

Kyoumei

Mod Yumi: THIS IS THE BEST ONE. This song is a legit bop omg. Leave it to luck life to give us a character song that exceeds typical character songs! I also love the meaning of the lyrics; it almost feels like a new angle on the Shuu/Minato relationship in a way? Of course we know their history and their affectionate rivalry, but we don't really see either of them putting into words how they feel about each other (especially Shuu-- I had to laugh at the line "we didn't need mundane words"; like no dude we could actually use a few more words from you, given your track record of communicating approximately 7% of your thoughts smh). This song puts into words how much they mean to each other and how, despite their complicated history and rivalry, they still care about each other.

Mod Optimus Prime: Luck Life actually composed this song, which really shows in the style (that catchy guitar, anyone?)! I adore the constant references to "sounds"—while a bit cheesy and on those nose, of course, it fits these two to a T and calls back to that season one finale. Again, not that any of the songs are really subtle, but "We might be apart, but I believe we'll someday return / So we didn't need mundane words" really just sums up their unique friendship/rivalry. Also, love how the two only sing together at the end: really fits with the song's whole message/theme about the two being separated, but eventually reuniting! How sweet.
