"Music is freedom."

"If you can't move with your hands then play with your feet! If you don't have enough fingers, then use your nose as well! Whether you're sad, you're a mess, or you've hit rock bottom, you still have to play! That's how people like us survive."

— Kaori Miyazono · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

"I want to hear it again, yet I don't want to hear it again. I want to see her, yet I don't want to see her. What do you call this kind of feeling again?"

— Kousei Arima · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

"Spring will be here soon. Spring, the season I met you, is coming. A Spring without you...is coming."

— Kousei Arima · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

"By exchanging notes, you get to know one another, to understand one another. As if your souls were connected and your hearts were overlapping. It's a conversation through instruments. A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words."

— Kaori Miyazono · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

"Hold on. Don't go! Let's argue again. I'll bribe you with a canelé. I'll call you to kill time. I don't mind being Friend A. Please don't go. Please don't go. Please don't go...please don't leave me behind."

— Kousei Arima · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso

"When you say you "can't hear the sound", doesn't it really mean you "aren't restrained by the sound"? Rather than the sound you hear with your ears, an image inside you is boiling up from the depths of yourself and taking over without you even knowing. The sound inside, the landscape in your heart, your wishes, a sound loaded with your thoughts"

— Hiroko Seto · Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso
