Quotes from Girls Band Cry (TV, 2024)

Nina: I thought you were going to sing alone.
Momoka: I thought so too, but there's something nice about being in a band. You get tense when you're together, talking behind each other's backs, but you keep it all inside, and it just builds and builds. Until you can't stand them anymore and finally explode.
Nina: None of that sounds good.

Mine: She must not like coming to a conclusion. The longer you do something, the clearer the results become. If it didn't go well the first time, you can chalk it up to bad luck. But a second time may point to a lack of talent.

Nina: Can't she believe that it will go well?
Mine: I'm sure she wants to. But if you have faith, it cuts even deeper when it doesn't work out.

Rupa: No matter how scared you are, you won't get anywhere if you're just watching.

Tomo Ebizuka: That's what they all say. That they're serious, or want to improve. But they end up just wanting compliments or sing whatever way that feels good.

Nina Iseri: Words are outside. Once you put it into words, what you had inside gets out and takes shape.

Nina Iseri: That song... gave me the push I needed. I was told the smart thing to do was to hold it in. So I thought that I didn't have any other choice. That song pushed me forward. If I wasn't wrong, then I don't need to hold it in. I should stop thinking ahead and just take a leap. Now, I didn't know if that led down to hell or up towards the sky, but that song made me fly. So there's no ground to return to, not that I want to go back.

Nina Iseri: Back then, I was trying to suppress the person I was. I might not even have wings, and I might just be imagining that I'm flying, but I love who I am now the most. I can proudly say that. This is the real me.

Momoka Kawaragi: The more I start writing seriously, the more I start reliving that anxiety. I get scared that I might lose it all again.

Nina Iseri: We were all alone in this world. But we had music. Even now, your passion still flows through me, Momoka. And that's brought me all to you. I trust this feeling and our music.

Nina Iseri: I believe the god of rock exists.

Subaru Awa: Ultimately, people are influenced by trends. They'll watch anything if everyone says it's good. And they won't watch something nobody else is.
