Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy my detailed psychological analysis of Your Lie in April, episode 2!

I have been really enjoying the show and its ebb-and-flow emotional storytelling approach, which is great, so I am not torn every episode, haha.

Here is a quote I’m pondering, inspired by the episode

“I no longer need the armor; my softness is the strongest part of me.”​— Brianna Wiest

Happy Monday, Patreon family!

The quote you ended with “Everything you’ve ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear” is actually credited to George Addair. Though Eleanor Roosevelt does have many other similar quotes about fear. Those are two excellent quotes for pondering this series! This is such an emotionally resonating story and I think those two quotes together provide a framework for a deeper understanding of the themes and struggles throughout the series. One could view the first quote as the primary struggle. The second quote reinforces the importance of the first quote. While YLIA is famous for being a romance story, it is primarily a coming of age story. We wear armor to protect our softness from our fears. But it is only through embracing our strengths - our softness - that we will overcome fear to get everything we ever wanted.

Couldn’t have said it any better! And good to know about the attribution of the quote!

Pretty poetic but honestly they keep getting very simple and important translations wrong. For example, after the performance Kosei said 美しい Utsukushii, which means "beautiful". That beauty obviously refers to her breathtaking musicality but very importantly it's also to do with her ethereal physical beauty in that moment. Remember, his world has been grey for so long—of course, even essentially, it's so powerful for him to be able to see beauty as well as hear it. There's another lesser translation mistake later when Wataru says 好きな子がたくさん！ which actually translates to "I got loads of girls that I like!" rather than "chick magnet." Honestly not a fan of whatever sub this is. The poetry is courtesy of the Japanese writers rather, and by extension the mangaka.

I played Trombone in middle and high school, and have been to several compeitions, local, regional, and state. I was also selected to play in a youth orchestra while in high school, so I'm quite familiar with competitions like this. Kaori's performance is indeed very good, however it's a competition not a recital or concert as Kousei says. The purpose of the competition isn't to judge your creativity with the music, it's there to judge your mastery of the fundamentals of the instrument and rank you among your peers. It's rigid because it's meant to be objective. How well did you keep time, was your tone good, how many mistakes did you make, how was your technique, did you tune your instrument properly, and so on. If you're playing it creatively like Kaori is, there's no way to judge her equally with the others when she's not playing by the rules of the competition. This isn't a performance, the purpose isn't for the audience to enjoy or for an artist to display their individuality, it's to judge her clinically. It's not about convention or being old school, it's about being objectively fair to rank someone's skill level which will give them opportunities or scholarships at music universities, including opportunities to go overseas to study music.
