"Friend A" (友人A Yūjin A?) is the second episode of the Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso anime adaptation. It first aired in Japan on October 16, 2014.

Blurb[]

Kousei agrees to go along with the group and they head to a concert hall where a violin contest is under way . The audience notices Arima, when he enters the auditorium, who once was a very popular child prodigy The competition starts, but already boredom settles in among the audience with the set piece “Kreutzer” or otherwise known as the Violin Sonata No.9's First Movement being played over and over again without variation, nuance or flavour but it soon was Kaori’s turn. She was completely different from the other contestants and had a way that ended up being unique, something they’d never seen or heard, she made the piece her own. Kaori refused to follow the score of the original piece by rote, resulting in a variation of her own. After her performance, she rushes to Ryota Watari. It was just like a scene out of a movie. Starring the hero and heroine of a love scene and Arima simply feels he had acted in the role of "friend A', nothing more.

Plot[]

Kousei, Tsubaki, and Watari arrive at the Towa Hall to watch Kaori's performance which ends up being completely unlike anything else they've seen. She goes off and plays on her own, leaving the accompanist behind, infuriating the judges, who disqualify her for changing her set piece and making it her own. Kaori finishes her performance, and earns a standing ovation from the crowd. When the preliminary round finishes, and the results are posted on the notice board, Kaori is revealed to be the audience choice, therefore letting her succeed to the next round.
