Now, when a free-spirited violinist meets a piano player who is just about tone-deaf and pretty much stuck in his own bubble, what do you think the results will be when that girl wants to make the boy her accompanist?
Well, you get the pianist turning down the violinist for that role at every possible turn. In the few days that had passed since Kousei Arima, our pianist, met our violinist, Kaori Miyazono, he turned down just about EVERY offer Kaori put forth.
After a while, it got the point where she taped up numerous copies of score of Saint Saëns' Rondo Capriccioso, which is what Kaori chose to have them perform at the upcoming competition. Tsubaki Sawabe even hit a softball in Kousei's direction that landed in the music room, just badgering him to play the composition.
Kousei was shocked to discover that his book had the sheet music attached to the pages. It wasn't until a few moments later that it was actually Tsubaki that changed the wallpaper to the sheet music.
Kaori was clearly at her wit's end. Kousei was still stuck in his uptight ways, and he STILL wouldn't budge. When the two encountered each other on a rooftop, she explained why Kaori played the violin.
She said she wanted everyone to remember her for her music, and that she and her music would be in their hearts forever. Up to this point, Kousei had turned down just about every offer from Kaori to be her accompanist. Kaori was getting desperate.
She started crying, feeling like her heart was being torn apart. She also said that she was about to lose heart as she sobbed. That did it. For Kousei, after so much thinking and rejecting Kaori, he finally gave in and agreed to make Kaori his accompanist.
That's when she stopped crying, and all was finally right in her world. It wasn't until a little bit later that the two conspirators who wanted Kaori to be Kousei's accompanist, Watari and Tsubaki showed up, still attempting to force him to do just that, when they didn't realize Kousei had finally accepted Kaori's offer.
Kousei then started studying the sheet music for the performance. Having finally struck an alliance with the once monotone and rigid Kousei, Kaori finally became all happy again.
