"Friends are friends forever" – Kiniro no Corda 8

I guess we can sing that after we finish this episode. It has the full vibes. Read on, read on!

Summary

Tsukimori woke up to see Hiro beside him, with him blushing. He then left her alone while she slept. As Hiro woke up, she found herself to be alone with Tsukimori’s jacket. She was then slightly annoyed that he did not wake her up, as she went to return the jacket. On the way there, she had a call from her friend to go to a cafe, but she was on her way to Tsukimori, so she declined.

She met up with Ryou and Hihara coincidentally as they went to his house together. He initally tried to chase them away, only for Hihara’s stomach to growl. They then went in to have some cakes, with Hihara and Hino messing around with the pictures of young Tsukimori. Still, he avoided the topic of his parents while Ryou and him had an argument once again about the elite and non elite classes.

The next day, Hino was still puzzled over what she need to do as she had not found a companion to play the piano or her piece for the second test. As her friends tried to cheer her up when she was practicing, she flared up, saying that they were disrupting her. At home, she broke the musical box that her close friends gave her for her birthday. At school, she was clearly disturbed but Hihara fixed up the box. Yuniko then had her to be around the school gate for a survey regarding the competition, with everyone in the concorde roped in to help.

One of the non-music students then dissed Hino for being last and being an embarrassment, only for her close friends to defend her. Hino was then very touched as she hugged the both of them, with both parties saying sorry for what they did. She also decided she was going to play the song in the musical box. Hino then heard some musical class students talking badly about Tsukimori, as she confronted them, with them retaliating. Eventually, Tsukimori came over to save the day, as she questioned why he was seemingly so moody. The look of shock on Tsukimori when she said “it was due to your parents coming” ended the episode.

Thoughts

Hmm, I personally loved the scene when they got back together. It was clear that it was simply a time when Hino was so stressed and it was clearly a touching moment that her friends were really all for her. It was perhaps a good thing that Hino had such friends that could support her in terms of a crisis. I really like the male female lead because Hino is simply very likable by all standards.

It is perhaps little wonder that so many of the contestants (Ryou, Hihara and Tsukimori) had shown a bit of a romantic interest in her. Who wouldn’t, seriously? In my humble opinion, it feels as though Tsukimori will be the one she will be choosing, due to the various romantic elements that is shown in the few episodes we have seen. In fact, the most memorable scene of the duet, the two resting together in the same room, feels to me that the show is siding with a Tsukimori x Hino.

However, I am more supportive of a Ryou x Hiro simply because I am always against the designated pairing of the anime. Also, I have to add that me being a greenophile meant that I love Fuyuumi too. The green haired gal that is so shy and cute is probably my favorite but I am biased due to her green hair.

Green hair anime gal = win.

Also to add, I find that Yuniko is way too perfect and nice. He reminds me of a certain person, the famous Arima from Kare Kano. I wonder if he is a boring and genuine nice guy or someone with a dark side in him. I mean, seriously, the other characters have been shown with some different characteristics other than their dominant state. Hence, he got to have something dark, something secretive and something malicious. Yes, I watch too much shows.

For anyone reading this review, can someone enlighten me on the song that she chose? I heard Canon…But i am not sure.
