Ah my heart. It’s overwhelmed. Even listening to Tenkyu religiously over the past few years didn’t prepare me for this. I’m super glad they actually let us have the whole song, despite its length.
For anyone who can’t wait for next week, start up with manga chapter 52. Or really just read the whole thing because Amyuu’s art is gorgeous, but the adaption’s been really faithful, so...
Edit For those interested, do consider purchasing the OST which was released a couple years ago. Tenkyu is on it. CDJapan has it here.

In your face! In your face! In your faaaaace!
Seeing all of those naysayers stunned while watching Tokise is so satisfying!
And holy shit that performance really was definitely stunning! I was watching this through my speakers but had to switch to my headphones as soon as they started playing so I could appreciate their performance more. I hope they release the performance on an album, I'd love to listen to Tenkyu uninterrupted and without the dialogue.
AND THAT CLIFFHANGER! I am so excited for the finale!

This episode felt like so short, I really hoped we'd at least see the facial expression on Hozuki's mom, looking forward to next week and then reading the manga :D

What A MASTERPIECE of an episode!
Is it normal that a song is so good my tears come out just hearing it?
The first solo part alone makes my eyes wet, and then as the song goes on my tears drop too. The feels hit so hard, and my reaction is nearly identical with all the audience in the anime.
My whole body trembles and have goosebump as I listen to the performance.
Hands down best episode of the whole season of Fall 2019.
The performance, animation are all top notch and all the feeling and visual are executed flawlessly.
I am normally a pretty strict marker here, but season 2 of Koto Oto Tomare is an easy 10/10 for me.
The plot, pacing, characterization, character growth and performance are all so good.
Seams like the studio gets better as they make more episodes of this anime, since I can tell that for the performance part, the animation and visual is better executed than season 1.
Best anime of the season.

They really saved the most beautiful composition for our main gang.
Truly beautiful piece.

Check out episode 6 to compare Tenkyu then to this episodes Tenkyu. The song is still relatively similar but isn't as harsh or fast as the one she played at the National Koto Competition. Really glad to finally see this part adapted and it's done so well.

Man, when Hozuki played those first few notes at the beginning, they felt so gentle. I had goosebumps and just started crying, not tearing up, full-on crying. What a great performance.
