Meus bebΓͺs p sempre!
About 21 or so years ago, as I was applying to colleges I would ultimately never go to, Fall Out Boy began as a little pop punk side project of what we assumed was Peteβs more serious band Arma Angelus. We were sloppy and we couldnβt solidify a lineup, but the three of us (Pete, Joe, and I) were having way too much fun to give up on it.
We were really rough around the edges. As an example of how rough, one of my favorite teachers pulled me aside after hearing the recording that would become βEvening Out With Your Girlfriend,β and tactfully said βWhat do you think your best instrument is Patrick? Drums. Itβs drums. Probably not singing Patrick.βΒ
We went into Smart Studios with the Sean OβKeefeβ¦. So there we were, 3/5 of a band with a singer whoβd only been singing a year, no drummer, and one out of two guitarists. But we had the opportunity to record with Sean and record at Butch Vigβs legendary studio.
8 or so months later, Fueled By Ramen would give us a contract to record the remaining songs. Weβd sleep on floors, eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly, live in a van for the next 3 years, and somehow in spite of that eventually play with Elton John and Taylor Swift and Jay-Z and for President Obama and for the NFC championship, and all these other wildly unpredictable and unlikely things. But none of that would ever come close to happening if Andy hadnβt made it to the session and Joe hadnβt dragged us kicking and screaming into being a band.Β
Happy 20th birthday Take This To Your Grave, you weird brilliant lightning strike accident of a record that absolutely changed my life.Β

I think itβs often overlooked that the change in Akihikoβs music didnβt escape Ugetsu. He did notice that Akihiko had lost his motivation and was settling for less. Ugetsu also knew how much potential Akihiko did have when it came to music, if only he still had the drive to go for it.
The thing about Ugetsu is, though, that he isnβt the type to be anyoneβs personal cheerleader. Akihiko losing his motivation did bother Ugetsu, but Ugetsu strikes me as the person who thinks he canβt get motivated for Akihiko. Only he and he alone can do that.
That being said, though, Ugetsu did care. He was concerned about Akihikoβs lack of motivation and settling for less than he had the potential for. It worried and bothered him, and that came out as little jibes at Akihiko not being serious with his music. I think that is Ugetsuβs type of caring. I think he also often asked Akihiko to practice with him, so he wouldnβt completely lose his touch with the violin.
Ugetsu talked about Akihiko needing a trigger of some kind that would light the excitement for music in him again. I think that connects interestingly to Ugetsuβs own desire to break up with Akihiko so he could be free with his music. Ugetsu was hoping to find something that would rekindle the spirit in Akihiko only to discover that that βsomethingβ was outside of their basement and what ultimately pulled Akihiko to finally move out. I think when Akihiko told Ugetsu he was going to move out, Ugetsu realized that maybe he had found a trigger. He had a hunch.
His hunch came true at the second live performance. Despite wanting to break up, it was still a painful, bittersweet realization. In a way, Akihiko couldnβt be βfreeβ with his music β confident and excited β while having Ugetsu around. Itβs like realizing that for your important person to be happy, you need to not exist in their life anymore.
