Satsuki Suzuki

Satsuki Suzuki is a small girl with a cute, childlike face.

She wears her hair in curly twin tails, tied with pompom hair ties.

She is only slightly taller than her senior Sapphire Kawashima.

Satsuki often wears big cardigans or jackets that look too large for her small frame.

Her lively movements and bright, lisping voice make her seem energetic and approachable.

Birthday: April 10

Height: 151 cm

Zodiac Sign: Aries

Blood Type: O

Satsuki is outgoing, energetic, and never shy to talk to anyone.

She is often described as a "friendly little dog" because of her playful nature and how she quickly becomes close with others.

Her words are honest and come straight from the heart.

She sometimes annoys more serious people, but most of her friends and seniors love her cheerful attitude.

Satsuki is very sensitive to other people's feelings, and she is kind and cares about her friends deeply.

She is positive and always tries to make people smile, but she can be a bit too playful at times.

Satsuki attended the same elementary school as Mirei Suzuki, and they were called the “W Suzuki” or “Sacchan & Micchan” duo by teachers and classmates.

They went to different middle schools and only met again at Kitauji High School in the concert band.

In middle school, Satsuki played tuba for three years.

During that time, a crafty friend in her section would give her handmade good luck gifts before contests.

Satsuki also wears different colored hair ties, such as blue or pink, and switches them up depending on her mood.

Satsuki has three years of experience playing the tuba from East Middle School.

She chose tuba as her first choice instrument in high school too.

Her bandmates, including Hazuki Katou and Kumiko Oumae, recognize her skills, but she’s not quite as advanced as Mirei Suzuki, who went to a strong band middle school.

Satsuki always stays to practice after club to catch up.

Even though she’s enthusiastic, she sometimes misses some of the finer points in practice and is often corrected by Mirei.

When she becomes a sophomore, she starts to help teach the new first-year tuba players and give helpful advice.

Mirei Suzuki

Mirei is Satsuki’s childhood friend and fellow tuba player.

They were very close in elementary school but became distant in high school when Mirei acted cold at their reunion.

After an emotional event during the Sun Festival, Mirei apologized and their friendship was restored.

Since then, they became a team again, often called “Sacchan & Micchan.”

Satsuki expresses her love and deep respect for Mirei openly, and they enjoy eating together and spending lots of time with each other.

Hazuki Katou

Hazuki is Satsuki’s senior in the tuba section.

They went to the same middle school and quickly became friends.

Satsuki often calls her "Hazuki-senpai," and they share fun moments, jokes, and even do silly things together, like making all the tuba girls wear twin tails.

When Hazuki makes it into the main contest team, Satsuki is truly happy for her.

Kanade Hisaishi

Kanade is a euphonium player and Satsuki’s classmate.

While they don’t have many scenes together, they share lunches and friendly moments outside club activities.

Satsuki dreams of seeing Kanade’s home, imagining it as a castle.

Suzume Kamaya

Suzume is a first-year tuba player and Satsuki’s junior.

Satsuki teaches her how to play the tuba and encourages her to become a good player.

Even when Suzume wins a spot on the main contest team, Satsuki supports her and sees her as a friendly rival.

Satsuki loves any color, playing with dogs, and searching for interesting things.

Her mom's homemade curry is her favorite food.

She is excellent at sorting trash and hates eating instant noodles alone.

She is not very strong physically, so carrying the big sousaphone during parade practice is tough for her.

• “Micchan, you’re amazing! You work so hard. I love you!”
• “I just want to be with Micchan, that’s all!”

Making Friends in the Band

Satsuki joins Kitauji High School and quickly makes friends with all the senior tuba players, especially Hazuki Katou.

She tries her best to become close with her classmates too, but struggles with Kanade Hisaishi and Motomu Tsukinaga, who are quiet and closed off.

Satsuki especially wants to restore her old friendship with Mirei Suzuki.

Conflict and Reconciliation with Mirei

At first, Mirei ignores Satsuki and keeps her distance, making Satsuki sad and confused.

During practice for the Sun Festival parade, Mirei gets upset and leaves the group for a while.

After working through her feelings, Mirei apologizes to Satsuki and their friendship is rebuilt.

They start eating together and spending more time as friends, like in their childhood.

Band Competitions and Teamwork

For the main band competition, the top players like Mirei, Takuya Gotou, and Riko Nagase are picked for the main team.

Satsuki and Hazuki end up on the secondary team but stay motivated and encourage their friends in the main group.

She also plays performances at malls with the B-band.

Becoming a Guide for Juniors

When she becomes a sophomore, Satsuki helps teach new first-year players, like Suzume Kamaya and Yayoi Kamiishi.

She gives practical advice on tuning and encourages them to enjoy club activities.

When these new members and their friends suddenly stop coming to club, Satsuki is the first to raise the alarm, showing how much she cares.

Growth and Moving Forward

As time goes on, Satsuki continues to build strong friendships with her classmates and juniors.

She forgives past hurts, celebrates others' successes, and always looks for ways to get better at music and bring people together.

Satsuki’s lively and optimistic spirit makes her a glue for the tuba section and a source of brightness in the band.

People often feel attached or protective towards her.

She is always ready to cheer on her friends, help new members, and stay positive even when things are tough.
