Previously On Bocchi The Rock
In chapter 56, Kessoku Band started recording for their mini album. But, Seika Ijichi had made it clear to be prepared for re-takes, as this was their first professional recording, and would be a tedious task to keep up with the clock, especially with a sound engineer on board. After the band met up with the sound engineer, they were relieved to see her approachable personality. Even so, the band could only finish one song by the end of the day, due to the band having performance issues while being recorded, could this be a symptom of Scopophobia?
However, Nijika Ijichi solemnly believes it to be her fault for letting the team down by not showing confidence as a team leader when it was her chance to record, which she thinks is a reason to have derailed others’ morality and confidence. However, Seika Ijichi decided to make a call to help out her younger sister in the dumps.
Chapter 57 starts with Nijika training for the second week of recordings with high hopes of improving and overcoming the problems she faced in the first week. But, Seika surprises her anxious sister with a former Batterist member of her old band group, Rina. To help Nijika with her problems.
Upon hearing Nijika’s problems, Rina understood it all too well, as she sees a bit of herself in Nijika, having the thought of acting as the role model of the band. Rina suggested Nijika ‘play as you like’ and added that the audience in a live concert would listen to your performance rather than judging your timing on the clicks.
This motivated Nijika to show up late but with a straight attitude of success written on her face, Nijika took heed of Rina’s advice and got her priorities in check, and played to the rhythm, making her the lead performer to be followed by other members of the Kessoku Band. This display of confidence and flow sparked something in every other member.
After Nijika’s performance, the members made sure of getting the act straight and put in the work to match their leader’s frequency. Luckily enough, the band was able to wrap up with all the takes and recordings for their album. Now all that was left was to listen to the final mix composed by the music engineer.
The Kessoku Band were in awe listening to the music they made. Nijika and the team could not buy it! how professional it sounded. With praises thrown left, right, and center, the members realize their shortcomings with room to grow, giving a learning experience for the band to grow together.
A celebration was at due. But the Kessoku Band had to go home as they could not make up their mind nor did they have any money to afford even for a dine-in, let alone a celebration. However, it was a celebration on its own on the next day when the physical disc in the hands of the team leader was ready to be played.
The chapter finally ends with Nijika having her sister listen to it. As lovely as that may be, Seika still chooses to be the strict critic by pointing out the flaws. However, as a silver lining, Seika is excited to see what her sister can do for the second album.
