In this short scene, the narrator laments the fact that he has not been able to learn to play the piano. He compares himself to a stranger who has not yet learned to be comfortable with the world around him. He laments that he is not cut out for the job of a teacher. He feels sorry for the stranger, who has worked so hard to learn the art of music. He wishes that he could have lived in the eighteenth or nineteenth century, when music was more acceptable to interpret and interpret subjectively. He wonders why music is so formal now, when it used to be more acceptable for performers to interpret their own music and interpret it in their own way. The lyrics of the song, "Charlotte the liar," sound familiar to him, and he wonders if the lyrics are similar to the lyrics of "Taraniyaki" and "dumps." He feels that if he and the girl can listen to each other's music together, she will be able to choose what she wants to do with her life.
