    The main intro/outro riff for If I Could Be A Constellation (the second song) actually doesn't need the E string.
    In fact, one of the guitarists behind the show did a guitar playthrough for the song. He even cuts the E string off and uses the same kind of can to play the slide solo.

      I made the assumption based on how high the melody sounded (it was a bold statement, there was risk to be wrong😄), although they said the second (B) string wasn't able to be tuned, and that one was used 🤔.
      Thanks for the data! 🤩

      @@Jhulian_R The guitarist who played the song in the official channel is the arranger of the song (Ritsuro Mitsui). He tweeted that he arranged the song to not use the 1st string after the solo, and in the worst case, he also tried to play the song without 2nd string. (The full version with the solo is released in the album version.)

    The band is really written to be the ideal band in all roles. Ryo and Nijika providing rock solid support (and also direction and leadership), Bocchi a superstar guitarist in the making, and Kita already a rock star as the frontwoman.

    You're right with the guitar being a Pacifica which was very impressive. Bocchi The Rock actually bumped up the sales of guitars in Japan which is always a win in my book and the Yamaha 611 specifically actually sold out for a period after the show ended. Yamaha actually made the exact model that appeared on the show as a limited special collaboration, a couple of which they raffled. Last time I checked the specific model isn't easy to acquire but I'm hoping to get one in the future.

      A regular Pacifica 600 series isn't hard at all to convert into Bocchi's model. As long as it's already black it's just a matter of swapping the pickguard and pick-up cover, both of which are easy to do and pretty cheap.

    27:33 I think Bocchi actually did tune her 2nd or B string to cover her snapped 1st / E string, so it could make a higher pitch sound (tho a bit out of tune because the broken peg). But bocchi still can do the riff with no problem thanks to that. In official Aniplex youtube after this episode was airing, they uploaded a video of the actual guitarist who did the songs in the anime doing the guitar play of this song, along with the snapped E string and bottle neck solo, till the end riff. So it's actual possible to do it without E string just like in the anime. The video is here /watch?v=6wAQRxcLUeE

    why Bocchi jumped? because she mimiced her mentor, which is the alcoholic bassist Hiroi (remember in ep 10, Hiroi's concert? there was a couple of frames briefly skim through she playing with the attendance by jumping
    However, Bocchi was not in private venue, and the crowd was not in tacit accordance with her. But Bocchi seemed not being able to tell the difference of two circumstances, and that's why Ryo and Hiroi (and Manager Seika) laughed.
    As for Season 2, or any form of sequel, fans may have to wait.
    first, they already got dressup daring season 2 and some other projects at hand,
    and secondly, BTR season 1 started almost 3 years ago (if this took them so long to reach this amazing quality, we could only expect similar length of labor to stay on par, and meet expectations.)

    It's impressive that the last episode ends not with LIVE, but with opening the door and walking into the outside world.
    In the intro to episode 1, Bocchi was alone in a dimly lit closet with the curtains closed.
    Even in the end of episode 12, the school LIVE is still like a dream time, but The sun is shining in her room, she has band members and fans, and the job is her daily routine.
    The second song on the LIVE is probably a tribute to "the band apart", Japanese rock bands: ruclips.net/video/iaMzMA-oes4/видео.html
    And the bottleneck playing is a tribute to Guthrie Govan: ruclips.net/video/oHew2D9zDw0/видео.html

      Hadn't check that footage with the string's issue and the bottleneck slide 😱, is there any confirmation from the creator that it was a tribute to him? Because if so that would make me love Bocchi more!

    The guitarist who arranged If I Became a Constellation plays it on RUclips with the original vocals and backing bass, drums and rhythm guitar on recording. He plays Bocchi's part, then at one point, he takes out a pair of wire clippers, cuts his E-string, grabs a glass saké cup and does the slide-guitar part, then plays the rest of the song with the E-string cut, all in one long take. So the part that you said was not possible actually was. You can find it by searching for this: 「星座になれたら」を弾いてみた by 三井律郎

    before this episode was aired the volume 5 of the manga was released and on it included a special chapter featuring Nijika & Seika's back story. Ilts a standalone chapter tie-in for episode 8. I guess the author anticipated that people would wonder why Nijika's
    dream is very important to her and her sister. I suggest you read it as soon as possible while your impression of episode 8 is still fresh, read manga chapter 61
