In this chapter, Hirokazu begins his tour of the U.S. with his band, i.e., the Iinkai. He tells the audience that he's going to leave California to go on tour with the band in England. He's not going to be bullied, he tells them, and he doesn't want to be a "poor kid" like his friend, Haruna. He wants to be the best drummer in the world. He knows that Haruna is just as talented as he is, and that he can play the guitar just as well as her brother. He also tells them that they're not the only ones who can't play the instrument well. They're just not good enough to play it in their rooms, he says, because they don't have the "power" to do so.
