Your Lie in April - Episode 4 (Departure)

After they arrive in Towa Hall, Kousei immediately tries to memorize the notes of the songs and gets absorbed into doing so. However, as he does so, he manages to ignore Kaori while she tries to get him to look at her. Annoyed, Kaori headbutts him and tells him to look up and look at her. She convinces him that she believes that they both can do it.

Before they step on stage, Kaori tells him that she isn't freedom. Instead, she says, "Music is freedom."

They started out okay, however, Kousei starts to lose himself. The sound of the piano drowns out, and he pounds the piano violently to make them sound again. This doesn't work and negatively affects Kaori's performance.

Your Lie In April - Episode 3 (Inside Spring)

This episode starts where Kaori and Kousei are at a shop where they eat waffles. When Kaori states how the piano was a happy one, 'grinning from ear to ear', Kousei contradicts by saying it was a sad piano, placed near water and decorated with flowers.

Next, Kaori manages (forces) Kousei to play the right hand for a Mozart song. As Kousei plays, he manages to impress everyone and even wears a slight smile. However, he suddenly stopped, hands shaking and he apologized.

Kaori then tells Kousei that she knew of his situation. She said, "Your playing style was accurate and disciplined - a human metronome." We also learn that he was able to perform with an orchestra at eight-years-old. Then, it's revealed that he is pretty well-known, as he is the one that they all look up to.

Your Lie in April - Episode 2 (Friend A)

They rush to the auditorium and after parting ways, Kousei is faced with a the tense atmosphere in Towa Hall, hearing the hushed whispers and observation all around him. Memories of his mother forcing him to play returns and before he gets into a panic attack, Watari's "What's wrong?" brings him back. However, Tsubaki didn't forget to notice how peculiar Kousei was acting and the slight twitch in his fingers.

As they make their way to their seats, people start to recognize Kousei as 'Arima' and dubbed him the youngest to ever win the Saiko competition.

As the participants continue with their piece (Beethoven; Violin Sonata No.9, The Kreutzer), Kousei states how this competition was jsut starting to get noticed and the winner would be able to play on a Guarneri (A type of violin, courtesy of Google) owned by the sponsors in a recital. Tsubaki also notices how Kousei's fingers follow the accompaniment as he silently cheers a participant on.

When it's Kaori's turn, Watari and Tsubaki cheer loudly, with Kousei failing to keep them quiet. As Kaori appears, she wonders if her music will reach the audience. Before she plays, she chants, "Elohim, Essaim, Elohim, Essaim, I implore you."

Her playing attracts a few people at first, one of the bored judges, the Tsubaki, Watari and Kousei (the trio), and soon, everyone gets entranced by her playing. As one of the judges say, her playing is all over the place as her tempo and dynamics are and how she isn't following with the pianist.
