Kono Oto Tomare!: Chapter 123 Recap
Previously in the manga, Akari, Sen-chan and Haru are up on the national stage, playing the sound of nation, a complicated song. Everything is going well and the audience seems mesmerized by the trio and their talent, when Akari’s koto’s bridge snaps out of nowhere. The snapped bridge throws Akari into a state of panic as he struggles to come up with a way to enter the song once more, when he is reminded of Sen’s motivating and touching words.
Akari remembers Sen-chan and Haru telling him that he is not alone and they both are with him to support him. Akari calms down and decides to enter the song once the tempo goes down a little and manages to do it successfully, much to everyone’s delight. Everyone is in awe for the way Akari managed to get back up after his mistake. The next part highlights Sen’s specialty as the audience is taken aback by the beautiful melody Sen played.
The trio continue playing the song, capturing everyone’s attention. Sen realizes that they are near the part where Akari always has trouble but even that part goes smoothly which makes Sen and Haru very happy. The melody keeps flowing and the audience is almost in a trance like state and they erupt into applause the moment the song finishes. Akari’s friend ask the onee-san about the loud noise in the middle of the performance and if they’re disqualified.
The onee-san tells them that as long as they enjoyed the music, that is all that matters. He also tells them that even though the team isn’t disqualified but winning will be harder for them still. On the other hand, Akari is crying since he realized that they have no chance of winning anymore because of the bridge mishap. Haru and Sen-chan tell Akari that the fact that he was able to perform the song within 3 months of starting koto proves his sincerity.
