These are the words of wisdom that Arima uttered while listening to the performance of Takeshi Aiza and Emi Igawa, who have always been regarded as rivals, for the first time in two years.
Until now, Arima had no one he could call a rival. He played the piano so perfectly that people around him called him a puppet of his mother, and he was always in first place in competitions.
However, while Arima did not play the piano, Aiza and Igawa, whom he considered his rivals, grew up and influenced Arima by increasing the depth of their music.
This is a quote that expresses the moment when Arima realized the people who seemed to be his rivals.

I don’t need anyone else. I just need you.

Arima says, “When you can share your sound with many people, when your sound reaches many people, when you put your heart and soul together, music may surpass words. These are the words that came out of Arima’s encounter with Kaori and the colorful everyday life she experienced.
I think this is the scene where he realized the importance of performing for someone he found there, and expressed the greatness of music.

This is a quote from Kaori herself about why she plays the violin when Arima is running away from her piano accompaniment.
Although the words came out because she wanted to make Arima her own accompanist, it was also a scene where she accepted her own death and talked about her life as a violinist. Therefore, in this scene, Kaori, who usually keeps a smile on her face, asks Arima to accompany her with tears in her eyes.
Since it was the beginning of the story, many of you may not have understood why she went to such lengths to ask.
However, if you read the story to the end and look at this scene again, you can feel the will of Kaori to do what she wants to do before she dies.

Kaori tells Arima that they are not Bach or Chopin, and that there are limits to what they can imitate. Then she told him, “You just have to play sincerely with all you have in your life.
Kosei Arima is a quote by Kaori that teaches us the importance of facing the piano as yourself and playing in your own way.

After the winter competition, Kaori passes away, and he receives a letter from her parents. In the letter, she tells them why she became a violinist and who she really loved.
The reason why she wanted to become a violinist was because she was moved by Arima’s first lecture. Then, she wanted Kosei Arima to play the piano for her, so she stopped the piano she was learning and started aiming to become a violinist.
Also, the person that Kaori really loved was Kimio Arima.
In the beginning of the story, Kaori said that she liked Wataru, but it was actually a lie to get closer to Arima. In this way, the letter contains the true confession that Kaori has never been able to say face to face.
At the end of the letter, she says, “I wonder if you can reach me, I hope you can. This is a quote that expresses her honest feelings to Arima.
