Kono Oto Tomare Chapter 128 Scans and Rough TL
Disclaimer: Please DO NOT use this translation to make your own TL of the chapter!! The KOT TL group works very hard to give you the most accurate translation, that does as much justice to the original script as possible. This is a ROUGH translation. That means is faulty and there must be mistakes in certain places. This is just for impatient people like myself to get a grasp on what is going on in the chapter! You can REFERENCE my TL if you want to discuss the chapter but never USE it as it was your own.
Scans: https://klz9.com/jxsh-kono-oto-tomare-raw-chapter-128.html
Page 1
Sign: Judge's Waiting Room.
Side Text: It's Tokise's turn. The competition's second day begins...
Chapter Title: #128 Dull Footsteps
Judge Tatsumi: !
Judge Tatsumi: Agata-sensei, Kurokawa-sensei. Good morning. You are both early, I see.
Page 2
Judge Agata: No, we just arrived ourselves.
Judge Tatsumi: Did you get enough rest yesterday?
Judge Agata: Well, yes.
Judge Tatsumi: I was so excited I didn't sleep a wink!
Judge Tatsumi: To think high school clubs would display such high level!
Judge Tatsumi: And today Ichiei, the best in the nation, will play. I truly can not wait.
Judge Kurokawa: Certainly, they have won for 5 consecutive years.
Judge Tatsumi: Exactly! That is amazing---
Judge Kurokawa: Then again, Ichiei's members are all children who aim to become professionals, so it's to be expected that they are at a completely different level.
Judge Tatsumi: You may be right about that but... Yesterday's Meiryo and Chibana's performances were perfect
Judge Tatsumi: I can't imagine what could possibly surpass that.
Page 3
Judge Tatsumi: ---Also, there is one school that has picked my interest.
Judge Kurokawa: !
Judge Kurokawa: Aah, you mean that problematic school...
Judge Kurokawa: They are out of the question, I would say.
Judge Kurowaka: How could they cause such a commotion and not get suspended?
Judge Tatsumi: They did explain to us that the students weren't really at fault for the incident.
Judge Kurokawa: Where there is smoke, there is fire. It's detrimental to the other students as well.
Judge Kurokawa: At least we, the judges, should give a proper and fair evaluation---
Judge Agata: Are you not planning to judge them solely based on their performance?
Judge Kurokawa: Eh...?
Page 4
Judge Agata: Excuse me but, it sounded to me like you are planning on lowering your rating over areas irrelevant to the performance, so…
Judge Kurokawa: ...I'm sorry you see it that way. To begin with, I don't believe you can separate the performance from the performer.
Judge Kurokawa: For instruments and music... Attitude. Courtesy, Respect... I believe those things are included in the performance.
Judge Kurokawa: And I will most definitely consider them in my judgment.
Judge Kurokawa: --Well, I don't know if you would understand this, Agata-sensei, since you are a musician who always does new things, like collaborating with other genres and using unusual performance methods without respecting the traditions.
Page 5
Judge Agata: I have never disrespected tradition.
Judge Arata: I am trying to explore all of its possibilities while cherishing it.
Judge Tatsumi: Now, now.
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: Man... These two are a pain in the ass as per usual...
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: ---Then again, the school in question... I feel sorry for the Tokise kids.
Judge Tatsumi[thoughts]: Even in the unlikely event that they make it to the top
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: I can clearly see the bashing we would receive from other schools and their parents.
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: I want to avoid that kind of hassle.
Page 6
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be conscience-stricken if I lowered my ranking because of that.
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: At the end of the day
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: It will be fine as long as Tokise's performance is not that good.
Judge Nanba: Good morning---
Judge Tatsumi: Nanba-sensei, Iwagaki-san, good morning.
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: --My... to think I could be so calculating and cowardly.
Judge Tatsumi [thoughts]: I think I have become one boring adult.
Page 7
Isaki [thoughts]: I was a bit late to leave. I wonder if I can still ambush Takaoka-kun.
Isaki [thoughts]: Also, I wonder if Uzuki will be waiting for me
Isaki [thoughts]: If not… well, that's the path he chose for himself.
???: Isaki.
Page 8
Isaki: Eh?
Tetsuki: ...
Tetsuki: ...Whatever, I've already gotten used to it. This pattern.
Tetsuki: Alright, fine. I will get in.
Page 9
Isaki: ...Takaoka-kun, sorry.
Tetsuki: Eh?
Isaki: For every time I've taken you forcibly on a drive, I have not once felt an ounce of regret about it. If anything I enjoyed seeing how much you hated it.
Tetsuki: What?
Isaki: But today
Isaki: I regret it from the bottom of my heart. I'm very sorry.
Tetsuki: What's with that, suddenly? I'm scared now.
Isaki: Well, first off, get in.
Tetsuki: I reaally don't want to...
Isaki: Just do it
Tetsuki: Whaa---...
Page 10
*No text*
TL/N: Welcome to spooky season.
Page 11
Tetsuki: ----... Uh... umm...
Tetsuki [thoughts]: Don't... tell me
Tetsuki [sfx]: Turns
Isaki: Yup, as expected you are quick on the uptake.
Isaki: -----
Page 12
Isaki: That's Chika's father.
Chika(?): No joke, the air is so crisp and clear the moment you arrive at the venue!
Mittsu(?): It feels like something is about to happen
Satowa(?): Aren't there more people than yesterday?
Chika(?): Ah, you are right.
Suzuka: Well, it's Ichiei's, the Nation's number one, turn. Also--
Page 13
Student 1: Aren't those the Tokise people?
Student 2: Woah, they are.
Student 3: They do kinda stick out like a sore thumb...
Student 4: They really came...
Sane: Ri... right...
Suspicious men: Did you take it?
Chika: !
Satowa: Kudou?
Tsukaji: Hello, you guys!
Tsukaji: How are you feeling?
Page 14
Chika: Old man!
Tsukaji: Did you get proper sleep yesterday?
Chika: Ye- yeah
Suspicious guy 1: Who's that dude. Get outta the way---
Komaki: Whaaat---
Komaki: Are these Peeping Toms what I'm seeing here? Oh gosh, scaaryy-
Tsurugi: Security, over here--!
Suspicious guy 1: Shut up. What the hell!
Suspicious guy 2: Hey, let's just go.
Tsurugi: What? You shut up!!
Tsurugi: Are you ok?
Suzuka: I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Student 1: Even voyeurs.
Student 2: Well, isn't this their own fault?
Page 15
Student 3: Isn't it because Tokise has come that people with no civility have gathered here?
Student 4: This is really bothersome.
Tsukaji: Ugh---
Chika: Old ma...
Sane: It's all good, Tsukaji-san.
Sane: I don't mean to brag here, but we are used to playing in hostile fields
Page 16
Mittsu: You really are bragging---
Satowa: Well, we have certainly got used to it.
Satowa: To people (audibly) talking behind our backs and being looked at with disdain.
Takezou [thoughts]: They really do have thick skin... Should I be happy about that...?
Hiro: Hozuki-chan is growing so fast.
Takezou [thoughts]: Ah but, what about the first years---
Atsumu: I used to get bullied! The fact that you guys are with me now makes me feel so at ease!
Natsu: I don't care about other people.
Takezou [thoughts]: Aah, so strong.
Sane: Wahaha we know, Momoya.
Page 17
Sane: Well, that's how it is. So you don't have to---
Tsukaji: I'm so touched...
Sane: Whaat--...?
Tetsuki [thoughts]: ...Isaki-san.
Isaki [thoughts]: ...Yes.
Page 18
Tetsuki [thoughts]: What is this ride from hell?
Isaki [thoughts]: Sorry. I'm really sorry...
Isaki [thoughts]: My brother didn't even contact me, he just suddenly appeared...!!
[flashback begins]
Chika's Father: ---Isaki
Isaki: Eh?
Isaki: Wai- what!? Bro- brother!?
Isaki: Wha- no way. Why are you here!? Don't tell me you came to listen to the performance!?
Page 19
Chika's Father: ...
Isaki: Ah, no.
Isaki: Sorry, I totally thought you were not coming. You gave me a start.
Chika's Father: I'm going back.
Isaki: What!?
Isaki: Now, wait a second. Why are you so bent out of shape over this? Didn't it take a lot of determination to come here!?
Isaki: And didn't you come all the way to where I'm staying hoping I could give you some room with Chika!?
Page 20
Chika's Father: ...I haven't really thought about something like that.
Chika's Father: I don't want to see him.
Isaki: ...Then why did you come all they way to this place.
Chika's Father: ...
Chika's Father: ... ....
Isaki [sfx]: Pissed
Isaki: Whatever, I gotta go pick those two up. For the time being, just get in the car, Brother!!
[end flashback]
Isaki[thoughts]: Maybe I was too reckless---
Page 21
Isaki [thoguths]: No, but if I let him like that, I'm sure Brother would've gone back...
Isaki [thoughts]: Even so, this atmosphere is so heavy---
Tetsuki: Um.
Tetsuki: Is today perhaps... your day off from work?
Isaki [thougths]: Takaoka-kun...
Chika's Father: No...
Tetsuki: Ah, that means you took a vacation day to come here, then.
Chika's Father [sfx]: Glare...
Tetsuki [thoughts]: Woah
Isaki: Hold on!! You drop that rude attitude towards Takaoka-kun right now, you stupid brother.
Chika's Father: !
Page 22
Isaki: He has always been beside Chika supporting him, and the reason he is able to smile now is because of Takaoka-kun!
Isaki: Instead of glaring at him shouldn't you be thanking him?
Chika's Father: ...I ...See.
Chika's Father: ... ... Sorry...
Tetsuki: Ah, not at all...
Isaki[thoughts]: A man who won't say"Thank you"...
Page 23
Chika's Father: ...Are you also his... friend?
Tetsuki & Isaki: !!
Uzuki: ...No. I'm...
Uzuki: The person who vandalized Chika's Granpa's place and then framed Chika as the culprit.
Tetsuki & Isaki [thoguths]: Geh....!!!!
Page 24
Chika's Father: Wha...
Uzuki: Also, recently, to make Chika look bad, I edited a video where he was helping out a kid from being harassed, posted it on social media, and it became trending.
Tetsuki: He- Hey, Uzuki Are you serious...
Chika's Father: ..Wha
Chika's Father: What... Are you saying...?
Chika's Father: You mean that incident, it wasn't the guys he hung out with---
Isaki: I don't know how many times I've told you, Chika had nothing to do with it.
Chika's Father: But... The fact that he was the cause of it is true, isn't it!?
Isaki: ...Trying to become happy... He grabbed onto Dad's hand, that's all.
Chika's Father: Hu...
Page 25
Uzuki: Fu ...If you had really looked at Chika.
Uzuki: You would have easily known that.
Isaki: Uzuki-kuuun?? You are right, but that is not something you should be saying, is it?
Isaki: You have no right to reproach my brother.
Page 26
Uzuki: ... I'm sorry...
Tetsuki [thoughts]: ...What is this ride from hell... (Second time)
Isaki [thoghts]: I promise I will invite you to eat expensive meat.
[flashback]
Chika's Father: You are a disgrace!!
Chika's Father: In your 3rd year of middle school, and you can't tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong to do!?
Isaki: Wait, Brother! Stop it, we are in front of Dad.
Chika's Father: You stay out of it!
Chika's Father: What's with those eyes. If you have an excuse, then say it
Chika: ...Nah, not really.
Page 27
Chika's Father: What did you say?
Chika: Whatever, I don't care.
Chika [memory]: Dad
Chika [memory]: Dad
Chika[distorted]: D a d...
Page 28
Chika: I don't give a shit about what you think about me anymore.
Chika [memory]: I'm sorry for being born.
[end flashback]
Page 29
Chika's Dad [thoughts]: Even if there is a person right next to me who framed my son for a crime.
Chika's Dad [thoughts]: Even if that person spits sarcasm at me.
Page 30
Chika's Dad [thoughts]: The right to be angry about such a thing.
Chika's Dad [thoughts]: I don't have it.
Sane: I'm glad we can sit together.
Kota: Riight?---
Page 31
Takezou's Mom: Takezou! Takezou!
Takezou: Ah
Chika: Your mom and dad?
Takezou: Yeah...
Chika: Wahaha You look just like your mom!!
Page 32
Assistant: Ichiei High School, you have 10 minutes before leaving.
Kifune-sensei: Yes, thank you. Ok, guys, let's get ready to leave---...
Page 33
Kifune-sensei: Mi...
Luka: Miran, it's time.
Page 34
Akira: If I remember correctly, Ichiei was playing 4th, right?
Suzuka: Yes.
Akira: Um... Did you notice? Ichiei's parts. Before, they---...
Suzuka: Aah, yes.
Program:
Solo - Luka Chevalier
1st Koto - Hoshou Sao

On-going Mangas I am Currently Into
Here are some of the mangas I am currently into. Most of them are yet to be completed. Some of them I ever doubt I will read the ending in this lifetime (lol, looking at you, Skip Beat!)
1. Skip Beat!
Kyoko Mogami, enraged after being used and abused by a childhood friend who dreams of becoming a famous singer, decides to get her revenge by joining showbiz and becoming more famous than him. In the business of entertainment, Kyoko discovers, instead, her true self.
2. Akatsuki no Yona
Yona, the sole princess of the kingdom of Kouka, has it all until the night when a betrayal drove her away from her palace. Protected by her bodyguard, Hak, they roam Kouka to find a way to protect the kingdom and its people.
3. Akagami no Shirayukihime
Shirayuki has a unique red hair, which caught the eye of the foolish Prince Raj. To reject his advances, Shirayuki cuts her hair and runs away to the neighboring country where she meets Zen who helps her against Raj. Deciding to take her destiny into her hands, Shirayuki goes to Zen’s kingdom to forge a path of her own.
4. Kono Oto Tomare!
Tokise High’s Koto Club is at risk of disbandment, unless some new members join. Kurata Takezou, the club’s president and only remaining member, gets new unlikely freshman members: hot-tempered Kudou Chika (rumored to be a delinquent), two-faced Koto genius, Hozouki Satowa, and three frivolous friends of Chika’s, Adachi Saneyasu, Mizuhara Kota and Sakai Michitaka. Together, they discover the enchanting music of the koto and the sound of their hearts.
So this is currently my taste, I hope somebody can send me some more recommendations :)

do u think Tokise has a chance at winning Nationals? I'm thinking they won't win but crack at least top 8.
Thanks for the ask! Hmm, I’m honestly not sure as I’m horrible at predicting where thing’ll go. I agree with you that they’ll place high but probably not win. Though no matter how unrealistic, I think there’s still a chance they could win it, but I’m not really expecting them to.
I’ve seen a lot of discussion and good points about it in the kot discord server that I’ve been very influenced by, so from that I think they’ll def make top three, or I certainly hope they will. But the most important thing to me is that wherever they place they’ll be satisfied with what they’ve done and see the value in their music and how it’s touched people. Their sound definitely has heart, but the musical expertise will also be important, so which of those win out with the judges and also how Ichiei (the music school that’s been winning for years) performs will determine how high they can place, especially with Meiryo’s already perfect performance. Sorry this got long.

Kono Oto Tomare Chapter 122 Scans and Rough TL
Scans: https://klmanga.net/bsaq-kono-oto-tomare-raw-chapter-122.html
Page 1
Side text: It's almost Eidai's Tall-Small-Tall Trio's turn----!!
Chapter title: Midsummer Ordeal
Sentarou's Grandma: Sigh... We have arrived later than we planned
Sentarou's Grandma: Will we be there on time for Sen-chan's turn?
Sentarou's Little Sibling: Aren't we seeing Nii-Nii?
Shizune (Granny): It will be fine
Granny: They are 19th right? They are on their lunch break right now, so there are still 5-6 schools before their turn.
Sentarou's Grandma: Shizune-san...
Page 2
Sentarou's Grandma: I'm sorry for asking you to come with us with this heat
Granny: Is me who is joining you because I wanted to come, don't you worry---...
Chika: Uooooooh, we made it----!!!!
Sane: Woah, just in time
Chika: Fuaaah--- Yikes.
Chika: It's so hot...
Chika: Eh- What!? Granny!?
Granny: What is this, I thought I heard someone being noisy, and it's you guys
Page 3
Chika: Ah, sorry. But what are you doing here, Granny?
Kota: We don't play until tomorrow
Sane: Did you miss us that badly?
Granny: What silly things are you saying?
Granny: The grandson of a friend is performing, so I came to hear
Chika: A friend...
Sentarou's Grandma: Hello, how are you?
Chika: Hello!
Sentarou's Grandma: Oh my
Granny: These are the kids I told you about before---
Sentarou's Granny: Oh, the Tokike kids, I see
Sentarou's Granny: I heard of you from Shizune-san. She said you are like grandkids to her
Chika: !
Page 4
Chika's shirt: GRANDKID
Sfx: Smile
Satowa, Sane, Kota[thoughts]: He looks so happy--....
Sign: Mittsu is rehydratating
Takezou: What school does your grandson go to?
Sentarou's Grandma: Have you heard of Eidai Prefectural High School?
Takezou: ! We know of it
Sentarou's Grandma: Oh, really? The one called Miya Sentarou is my grandson
Sane: Seriously!?
Sentarou's Grandma: I couldn't go hear his Preliminaries performance because I was hospitalized.
Sentarou's Grandma: So I'm very glad that I was able to come today.
Page 5
Sane: Damn, only 5 minutes left! Will there be seats?
Hiro: You also have to find somewhere to sit, isn't that right?
Granny: Yeah. Is it crowded?
Hiro: Yes, very...
Chika: Grandma, give me your bag.
Sentarou's Grandma: Eh?
Chika: I will run ahead and find some seats for you
Granny: Saving a seat is bad manners
Chika: Eh, ah...
Page 6
Sentarou's Grandma: I would be happy if I could hear my grandson's performance from a seat where I could see his face
Sentarou's Grandma: Could I leave that to you?
Chika: !
Chika: Understood!!
Granny: Hey, Chizuru
Sentarou's Grandma (Chizuru): Oh, is fine once in a while.
Satowa: Um...
Satowa: Thank you very much
Chizuru: Eh?
Satowa: For understanding Kudo's feelings
Page 7
Sane: That guy is a total Granny and Grandpa's boy after all
Kota: True!
Chizuru: He is the same as my grandson, then
Tomoe[thoughts]: Woah, Tokise. Don't run
Page 8
Tomoe[thoughts]: Woaaah he is saving a seat. I hate that
Page 9
Takezou: Seems like we will sit all over the place this time
Chika: Hm? As long as we can hear, it doesn't really matter
Tomoe[memories]: You okay?
Tomoe[memories]: Aren't those girls from Himesaka?
Tomoe[memories]: They seem to be getting along fine...
Tomoe[memories]: You haven't done anything that warrants an apology, have you?
Page 10
Sentarou: Hey, Akari. How long are you going to keep marking the tuning changes?
Akari: No is just that I feel like the marks will disappear with the sweat. It worries me...
Assistant: Contestants from Eidai Prefectural High School, your turn is in 10 minutes!
Akari: Ack!
Sentarou: Great! Let's get ready to go
Akari: Aaaaah why do you both look so caaaalm
Haru: Not at all. I'm super nervous
Sentarou: Not as much as you, tho.
Page 11
Haru: He says that, but in the Traditional Music Festival and Preliminaries, Sen-chan was super nervous
Akari: Eh- Senpai!?
Sentaruo: Haru-
Haru: Yeah, and he played like 3 times faster because of that
Akari: Eh- Three times....
Sentarou: That's not going to happen today. You are here with us, Akari. Don't worry.
Page 12
Sentarou: Okay, you guys. Put your hands
Akari: Ri- Right
Sentarou: ...Your hands are sweaty for real, man
Akari: I'm sorry...
Sentarou: Bah, it's fine
Sentarou: Listen, you two!
Sentarou: In today's competition, we are the school with the least members, but when it comes to guts, we won't lose to anyone!!!
Page 13
Sentarou: Let's make our best performance yet!!!!
Trio: Yeah!!!
Akari[thoughts]: Hot.
Akari[thoughts]: My body is numb.
Akari[thoughts]: My blood is pumping
Sentarou: Huh? Are you crying?
Akari: I'm not crying!
Akari[thoughts]: I didn't know it was possible to shiver when you feel hot
Page 14
Keishi: Oh, next is "Sound of the Rapids", huh
Akira: Eidai's performance, right?
Keishi: There's two 17-stringed kotos
Akari's friend 1: He- hey, you are sure it's here, right?
Akari's friend 2: It is, isn't it? I made sure it was
Akari's friend 3: In the program they gave us before it says Kobayakawa Akari.
Akari's friend 2: Really, that's good---
Akari's friend 3: I spent all my part-time job money to come here, if we were wrong I'd cry
Akari's friend 1: This "Sound of the Rapids" that Akari's playing, is it hard?
Akari's friend 2: No idea. Should be around the level of a beginner like Akari who has played for 3 months to be able to play
Page 15
Keishi: "Sound of the Rapids" is a complicated song
Akari's friend 1: Eh?
Akira: O- Onii-chan
Akari's friend 1: For real?
Keishi: It's technically and expressively very advanced
Keishi: There is also tuning change while playing it
Akari's friend: Tuning change... Ohh yeah, Akari also mentioned that was difficult
Keishi: That beginner friend of yours, to be playing this song in only three months
Keishi: I think is testament to how much he has worked
Page 16
Akari's friends: Thanks, stranger Onii-chan!
Keishi: No problem--
Suzuka[thoughts]: Extroverts... *
*Here Takinami really says "Monster of communication", meaning Keishi just will approach and talk to about anyone and make friends anywhere
Akari's friend 1: Oh, here they are
