@@aku_ I think Bocchi is actually off as well during the first song. She plays it way too fast.

It's insinuated that Bocchi is playing way differently than normal by taking the band by surprise. She initiated an impromptu jam session where everyone has to accommodate how she's playing. They have to make little adjustments here and there to support the lead guitar. They do that really well, but Kita being so new to playing guitar is having the hardest time keeping up so she's constantly looking over to see what Bocchi is doing. That probably makes her feel a lot of pressure to improve, too.

@hydroknight01

We learn in the very first episode that Bocchi has trouble keeping her playing to time with the other band members, because she hasn't spent much time playing with others, even by Ep8 - but she knows with absolute surety that they *can* be better, and is determined to show the crowd "THIS is what we can do!", so she takes a leap, and drags the band along with her to show them what they can do together if they keep time with her, just this once. This opens Nijika's eyes to who Bocchi is at last, and with that realisation, she nods to the others to go with the flow. That single performance convinces Nijika "We *CAN* do this - we can be *GREAT*," and she tells Bocchi as much later.

Not sure about the "adjustments here and there" part. Bocchi just improv'd a new intro to the song. After that, its less about them "following" Hitori along with what they should know of the song, and more about them recovering from the mental shock of the flop they just did on the last song. They are aware they didn't do well. Hitori here just gave them a wake up slap with the solo. A amazing detail here, is that Kita's vocals are NOT the studio version of That Band. They are still a different recording used for this "live" and you can still hear her go off pitch and be slightly nervous. She has the most trouble syncing up with Hitori, and its visible through out the whole live that she's constantly looking over. Ryo and Nijika both just were in shock to hear bocchi take the lead like this and since they both already have experience playing live, they adapt rapidly to this, and while they are still nervous, which is visible by the sweat drops in their faces, they both should have little to zero trouble playing like they always do, since as soon as the song starts, they aren't in unknown territory. Hitori can add as many solos or fills in between, but the song is still "That Band" and should have little to no issue with just going along with the normal. Nijika is the one setting the tempo here. A common misconception is that Hitori is the one bringing the song along when in reality, she isn't. The song would be a mess if they did. Nijika and Ryo are both instantly woken up by Hitori taking the lead with the intro, and both proceed to play normally after that. Kita is the only one visibly pushed over and lead by Hitori, which makes sense since she always has to sync up with mainly Hitori, since she isn't playing only chords. There's some parts where she harmonizes with Hitori in multiple songs, so of course she would feel incredibly nervous to witness her taking a direct lead; she didn't know what to expect and did her best to follow through.

Bocchi's opening solo here is the moment Kita went from "I want to be in the band to be close to Ryo" to "I want to be in the band to help show everyone how cool Bocchi is". From here on out she stops fawning over Ryo and spends the rest of the show being Bocchi's hype man.

You watch Bocchis' decision to take charge change absolutely everyone in the room, and it's sold 100%. Everyone in the crowd takes notice. Ryou feels the confidence in her band returning to her expectations, Kita has a dumbfounded expression of 'Who is this person?' as her own expectations are blown out of the water, and she spends the rest of the song mesmerized by Bocchis' talent. Nijika has the exact opposite reaction, but just as powerful a in the form of a realization as is Kitas' shock. While Kita wonders who Bocchi is, Nijika suddenly realizes that she's guitarhero. This plot point is revealed in the next scene but the expression on Nijikas' face says it all. It doesn't get much better than this.

I swear this anime is chock full of details but I'm too distracted by the comedy.

A wonderful detail is one you need a set of headphones to catch. Bocchi is tracked WAY to the right at the start of the song, while everyone else is center-left. Both Bocchi and the rest of the band slowly move together over the course of the song, until by the time Bocchi hits the final solo, they are all in their correct places.

Its a different recording used for this exact episode. Just like the "bad" version of Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet, this version of that Band has the drum go a bit faster in the chorus im pretty sure, and Kita's vocals sound a little bit nervous and while it is pitch corrected like every other recording, her vocals do go flat/sharp on some parts. Its meant to sound more raw and nervous.

@@ren2089it’s actually pretty good voice acting, that you can sound different in different situations in the exact same voice line such as songs

I think one key important fact that im very impressed the anime caught with the characters in this situation. Is that the entire time Bochi is the stage energy. As inexperienced as she and the others are with being a band if theres one thing Bochi at least understands even unconsciously its how to have stage presence and control the energy of the crowd. And you can see it in how the crowds energy shifts the moment Bochi gets going. The other thing is how naturally her band picks up the energy even though they seem totally lost and bewildered at first. Lots of good details they caught in this scene that make it incredible.

Best anime fight of 2023: Bocchi vs Social Anxierty

I love how throughout the song, Bocchi moves as if she's not fully aware of what her body is doing. She moves lazily as if she's not really focusing on what is going on or she's delirious, like a puppet on cut strings. She's so focused on the song, on casting off her anxiety, and on making sure every note is exactly right that she straight up unconsciously stops giving full commands to everything but her hands. Her brain knows that the only thing that needs to be done is standing up, and her hands do the rest of the work.

Same with "That Band", the person we most see going to the store and listening to music is Ryo, and on the official lyric video we see her next to the train station, the same thing happening on the lyrics. The 3rd song "Never forget" talks about some feelings, some of them about the school years, and on the lyric video we see Nijika jumping on her school, so I guess she wrote that one (not bocchi, for sure; she doesn't like going to school).

I absolutely adore Kikuri and, despite being drunk 24/7, how supportive and aware she is about Bocchi's talent! She never seem even remotely surprised whenever Bocchi does some crazy improvisation, because she's already that confident in her

Hearing her solo in this episode then comparing it to when she played the same song at the street show really shows how much her character is growing

Episode 8 caused me to go back and rewatch all 8 episodes all over again twice just to see what I was foolish enough to miss the first time. Needless to say it was a lot more than I realized. It just gave me an even better appreciation for this anime. I loved K-ON! ... this is K-ON! on steroids as far as I'm concerned and this song is the best anime song I've heard this year period. Maybe over the past few years. I'm gonna be 56 years old soon but music like this will always keep the kid in me going. Bless those who decided to turn that 4 panel into this anime.

I haven't watched Ya Boy Kongming as it isn't my cup of tea (I didn't know that was about music, either). I did know the main character was based off Zhuge Liang from RoTTK fame, though, but that isn't enough to interest me. I prefer my past in the past in this particular case. Yeah, I played the hell out of a number of the games and did research on the later Han Dynasty as well. Ok ... after listening to a few Ya Boy Kongming songs I'd still pass on it. I won't pretend to be musically inclined personally (although I did own a guitar that looked just like the one Bocchi has but a different color) but I'll take Bocchi all day. We will simply have to agree to disagree. Thanks for putting me onto some other music, though. Shame it isn't more to my liking.

The song just overflows with emotion and it brought me back down to earth, and the intro bocchi does is such a perfectly fitting cherry on top to this beautiful song.

I love the fact that this showed everyone that Bocchi is actually a amazing person if she doesn’t get in her own way. In the first song Bocchi’s mind was thinking about everything but in this song her mind is 100% silent just the song, it wasn’t until after she finished that the doubt came back.
