A Guide to the Japanese Anime Song "Tutti!" from "Sound! Euphonium"

Sound! Euphonium is a Japanese novel series written by Ayano Takeda. Kyoto Tachibana High School, where Kumiko Oumae enrolled, used to be a powerhouse in wind ensemble about 10 years ago but has since fallen into decline. Despite hearing a terrible performance of the school anthem at the entrance ceremony, Kumiko, who has been playing wind instruments since elementary school, reluctantly joins the wind ensemble club due to the invitation from her classmates. Kumiko, who has been playing the euphonium for 7 years, along with her classmates, including Midori Kawashima, a double bassist from a top middle school, and Hazuki Katou, who is assigned to play the tuba despite having no experience with wind instruments due to a headcount adjustment, all end up in the low brass section. Kumiko's childhood friend, Shuuichi Tsukamoto, chooses the trombone.

The English Translation of "Tutti!" from "Sound! Euphonium"

Tutti! We steal hearts

Choosing mouthpieces and today's lead, the dirty cloth smells. The written scores are testing the value of youth. Playing from the classroom window, connecting from phrase to phrase. It's no good to play alone. The emotions conveyed through sound, let's resonate together.

Our bodies sing, the shimmering passages. The tuner's fluctuations surely bring soaring ecstasy. Carrying our emotions, instruments are like red threads, harmonizing breaths… Tutti! We steal hearts.

Heading to the next piece, gather in front of the dusty speakers! The reflected plating shines, and we start walking. Towards the path of glory.

No matter how hot the sun shines, no matter how cold the wind blows. We live faithfully to our dreams, conveying emotions to everyone!

The breath blown carries an arpeggio to victory. Not just joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, but the soul's excitement. Rhythm and melody become one, harmonizing breaths…

Wow… Smooth scales, vibrant vibratos. Intense staccatos, gentle marcato. When we catch each other's eyes on "one, two, three!", it feels amazing. Harmonizing breaths… (Tutti!)
