Most likely, Ryusuke and the owner of the dog which looks like Beck know each other. He has burned photo of that dog, maybe, it's because he don't want other people to know something about this. Ryusuke has the mysterious past, and I sure, we find out about Ryusuke and that man soon.
Sorry for my English ^^

Liked this episode.

I liked how they showed the 'good' guitar clerk struggling to make it in the world. That's how it is for many good musicians.

Also, dishwashing sucks as a job. I did that once for like 2 days and wasn't very good at it :D .
Such junk...

Lol. When they're in the music store and that guy hooks up and jams. there's always that sense of challenge. I go into guitar center and hook a guitar up and start tearing it up and after i stop, you hear another person start dueling with you haha.

Good times.

Like how the english dub said sophomore since Japanese highschools are 3 years and freshmen are the age of sophomores in America.

I wish the characters would've been a little older, but that's something I guess you have to live with for most anime--them being set in high school.

The series would be more realistic if they were 17 (Maho/Kyouki/Izumi) to around mid-20s (Chiba and the rest of the actual band). For the most part the age of the characters doesn't sound or fit how they act.

Chiba is a fucking boss. Didn't expect Koyuki and Saku to be at the same highschool as him. Looks like it was a murder after all.

I think a murder sub-plot is the last thing I expected when I started this series, not really sure where the show is going with this. Not sure I'm that interested either but regardless, I'm still enjoying the show quite a bit. I love seeing the change in demeanor from Koyuki when dealing with the bullies, and Chiba kicking ass is always awesome.

Once again Tanaka is faced with questioning his choice of committing to a band. Working a crap job to get his first guitar. He's sees one of the many, very talented musicians who never did make it. Places like Guitar Center are full of them. On the other side of the spectrum is the girls. It's definitely a real perk of being in a band. But you got to watch the slimy business people. Bands want a release sooo bad, they get screwed all the time.

Finally they went to a music store this series is 70% things that happen to koyuki and 30% music when one of the coolest thing about this series is precisely the music and everything that surrounds it.

agree with some previous posts, as much as this is a pretty good series, the characters seems unrealistic for having their age. Chiba is a senpai in Koyuki's new high school? i though too that he was in his early or mid 20's. Anyway, i liked the part of their first day in a new school year the most, and behind the guy at the desk there was a poster of girls that seemed to wear a Otonokizaka uniform... no, really. Even if Love Live didn't exist yet back then.

Koyuki getting accosted by punks until someone intervenes is an almost episodic event at this point. I was thinking there was a palpable sense of deja vu going on.

Fuckin psychedelic man, high of highs for kyosuke now. Weird going through the motions of that time, buying a guitar. The industry is brutal mannnn.

Sigh. When there was a fuckin industry for rock music. Japan kept on pluggin though, they never turned to the insidious indie pop. In America that shit is a plague. This is a good anime series, thank God for rock, God save the queen.

I hope koyuki will be alright. I can’t keep these Japanese names together at all.

This anime puts you through EmOtIoNs. People and their dreams, but capitalism just gets more brutal with financialization. Voters demand more, politicians have to deliver, eventually that’ll hit a wall though.

Things used to really be so simple, even modern anime is getting super complicated and paranoid now. They probably seemed kind of difficult at the time though. It was better when those dreams could be alive though, if you ask me. People need dreams.
