This chapter opens with a description of the history of the "hedgehogs," a band of hedgehogs. The band's name is changed to "the hedgehogs," and the members of the band are no longer with the group. The song "The West Ground" is a tribute to "nishibe san," who has not been with the band since their inception. The group's drummer, Niko, tells the group that they are going "sorry out" and that they will never see her again. She also tells them that the guitar that Niko and the other members used to play in the band is no longer there, and they are leaving it with Niko. She tells them to stop saying stupid things and to write a song about proposing to her.
