Yuu waits by the ticket gates at a train station, and it's Koyuki who arrives to meet him. They've decided, at her suggestion, to check out this town that she once visited when filming for a variety show. Meanwhile Yuu's band, The Fallen Moon, has been selected as an opening act for a gig at a live music club. Fuuka suggests they write an original song to play there, but a strange sense of confusion in her heart makes the process difficult.

The day of the school fair has arrived. Fans enraged by Yuu and Koyuki's scandal crowd around and shout abuse as their band takes the stage. Yuu is certain that the power of Fuuka's singing can silence them, but then someone throws a glass bottle at him, and performing becomes the least of his worries. Chaos breaks loose, and Koyuki, who had come to see Yuu's concert in secret, can't stand silently by any longer...

A photo of Yuu and Koyuki together spreads like wildfire on Twitter, creating a huge scandal for the popular singer Koyuki. Even Yuu's account is found and targeted, and wild rumors are even going around at school. The band's practices in preparation for the school fair had been coming along smoothly, but the rumors spoil Fuuka's mood. Meanwhile, Koyuki appears on TV and makes a declaration to the whole world...

Memories of childhood, parting, and regret... Recalling her own past, Koyuki makes up her mind to face Yuu. She visits his home to give him concert tickets, but the two of them had no idea that this meeting would have immense consequences...

The new school term has begun, and Yuu's band has begun to practice in earnest. They have one of their idols, Hisashi of HEDGEHOGS, teaching them how to play their instruments, but bassist Yuu and vocalist/guitarist Fuuka are complete beginners. Nachi isn't much better as a drummer, so their practices are going nowhere. Then they meet a senpai from their school, Sara Iwami. She's cold to them at first, but then something changes her tune...

The sight of Yuu on the beach at night with Koyuki is such a shock to Fuuka that she runs away. Yuu tries to make up for it by explaining that he and Koyuki were friends as kids, but that angers Fuuka even more as she asks why he never told her this before. Yuu's attempt to make up fails, and the mood remains awkward between them at work as well. Then their teacher, Tomomi, shows up at the beach house with the track team captain, Nachi, and Fuuka learns something even more shocking...
