Between basketball, part time jobs, and an uncertain future, something was missing. And that thing was music. With his days in senior year running out, Dai swears a heartfelt vow: “I’m gonna be the best jazz player in the world.” But what do you need to be the best? Talent? Effort? A lucky break? Or maybe just a deep, pure love for music, and too much stubbornness to know when to quit. ## Contents | | Movie | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio** #1 | **Japanese** Opus 7.1 448 kbps | | **Audio** #2 | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps _(For compatibility)_| || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```PGS``` [[USBD]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | | ```SRT``` [[iTunes]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | | ```PGS``` [[USBD]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) _(SDH)_ | | | ```SRT``` [[iTunes]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) _(SDH)_ | | **Arabic** | ```ASS``` [[PLATINUM ROAD Team & Nut-World]](https://subdl.com/subtitle/sd1668165/blue-giant) | | **German** | ```SRT``` [[iTunes]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | **Spanish** (Latin America) | ```PGS``` [[USBD]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[kazui]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1868674) | | **Italian** | ```SRT``` [[?]](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/sublanguageid-all/idmovie-1394203) | | **Japanese** | ```PGS``` [[JPBD]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) _(SDH)_ | | **Korean** | ```SRT``` [[?]](https://subdl.com/subtitle/sd1668165/blue-giant) | | **Dutch** | ```SRT``` [[iTunes]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | **Russian** | ```ASS``` [[suffa]](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6470477) | | **Thai** | ```SRT``` [[Netflix]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | **Chinese** (Simplified & Traditional) | ```ASS``` [[KitaujiSub]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1743845) | | **Chinese** (Traditional) | ```SRT``` [[iTunes]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1838080) | | | | **Chapters** | ✅ | | **Covers** | ✅ | **Notes on subtitles:** - All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio.

I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [Movie - USBD (source) vs. RigAV1 (encode) vs. DB](https://slow.pics/c/wW86ylck) | [Movie](https://bin.disroot.org/?9ea8290a71de8415#G6xca38JCaYn3ELvWqTJu9XvMdofKBVuz59xXtXP9JxL) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/view/.n1995794) w/ attachments | ___
