Please give me the middle finger!Nina Iseri
Let me introduce one of the most moving scenes from “Girls Band Cry”! Nina is a shy girl who has always gone along with others and read the room.
She never stood out in elementary, middle, or high school and didn’t have any big dreams—but meeting “rock” changes her drastically.
Momoka, too, changes after meeting Nina.
The phrase “Stick your middle finger up” is something Momoka left on Nina’s guitar, meaning she wants Nina not to lose—to never back down.
In this scene, Nina’s one line is a legendary quote that answers Momoka from the heart.

Being alive is wonderful, isn’t it?NEW!Nahoko
Here is the line Naho says when she reunites with Jiro and sees the beautiful rainbow.
In ordinary life, being alive is a given, but it must be when we are side by side with death that the importance and preciousness of being alive come into sharper focus.
No matter what era we live in, the sight of someone striving to live earnestly is truly noble, and if we think that in fact we are always being kept alive, these words may resonate even more deeply in our hearts.
Once words leave your mouth, you can’t take them back.NEW!Edogawa Conan
This is a line Conan says in the Detective Conan movie “Quarter of Silence.” Once words leave your mouth, they can never be erased.
Precisely because we live in an age where words can be hurled with a single tap, we must cherish the words we type with our hands and the words we release from our mouths.
Even if you say, “Forget what I just said,” the words you’ve thrown at someone won’t disappear.
That’s why it’s important to be mindful and take responsibility for the words we send out.
Conan’s words may be a valuable reminder in today’s world where social media is so prevalent.
I don’t know, but we can live together.NEW!Ashitaka “Princess Mononoke”
A line spoken by Ashitaka, the protagonist of Princess Mononoke.
There’s a scene where Moro, the wolf god who guards the Forest of the Forest Spirit, asks Ashitaka, “Can you save San?” San is a human girl raised by Moro—a 15-year-old known as Princess Mononoke.
Abandoned in the mountains because of human circumstances and raised by the wolves, she came to hate humans who sought to seize the forest where they lived.
Yet she is tormented by the conflict that she herself is human and cannot become a wolf.
When asked whether Ashitaka could save San, he replies: “I don’t know.
But I can live with her.” It’s a line that honestly admits he might not be able to do it, yet also conveys a sincerity through which love can be felt.
At times like that, the only thing to do is flail. Draw, draw, and keep on drawing.NEW!Ursula 'Kiki's Delivery Service'
These are words from Ursula, Kiki’s best friend, that speak directly to the essence of being a creator when Kiki is struggling with a slump.
When you’re off your game and can’t see the answer, don’t overthink it—just keep your hands moving.
It teaches us that the very time spent flailing desperately, carrying all your doubts and fears with you, is what becomes your next source of strength.
Even if you can’t draw well, even if it doesn’t make sense, your sense won’t come back any other way than by continuing.
When you’re feeling down, these words powerfully push you forward: “It’s okay to struggle right now.
As long as you keep going, you’ll be fine.”
