Movie
Description
Mizore Yoroizuka is a Kitauji High School student and concert band oboist. She has straight medium-length blue hair with even bangs framing her face and cherry-red eyes, typically seen in the standard uniform. Her delicate build and pale complexion suggest fragility.
Deeply reserved and introverted, Mizore often isolates herself and struggles with verbal expression, stemming from sensitivity and fear of abandonment rather than indifference. She formed a profound attachment to flutist Nozomi Kasaki after meeting in middle school; Nozomi initially encouraged Mizore to join the band and take up the oboe, forging their primary connection. When Nozomi quit the band without explanation in their first year of high school, Mizore felt deeply betrayed yet continued playing solely to maintain their bond.
Musically, Mizore displays exceptional technical skill on the oboe, including perfect pitch and machine-like precision. However, following Nozomi's departure, instructors noted her playing became technically flawless but emotionally flat, lacking depth. She uses music as both refuge and emotional expression, maintaining rigorous practice routines. She temporarily performed with pom-poms during marching events since oboes are not marching instruments and later learned basic piano for entrance exams.
In their third year, Mizore and Nozomi reconcile but face tension preparing the "Liz and the Blue Bird" duet, based on a fairy tale about a girl (Liz) and a bluebird-turned-human who part ways. Mizore initially identifies with Liz, viewing Nozomi as the bluebird and fearing separation. During rehearsals, she struggles to express musical emotion and depends emotionally on Nozomi, even considering music school primarily to stay with her. Guided by instructors and peers, Mizore realizes she parallels the caged bluebird, restricted by her dependence. This insight allows her to perform with renewed emotional depth.
Mizore confesses her profound feelings to Nozomi, calling her "everything," but receives an ambiguous response. Following graduation decisions—Mizore pursues music school while Nozomi chooses a regular university—Mizore begins asserting independence. She mentors junior oboist Ririka Kenzaki, participates in social activities, and pursues music for personal fulfillment rather than connection. Her development culminates in performing the "Liz and the Blue Bird" duet with Nozomi as equals, symbolizing mutual release.
Outside music, Mizore enjoys rhythm and strategy games, achieves high scores, and prefers soda-flavored sweets. She dislikes poor radio signals and spends time with her cat at home. Her name, written as 霙 (kanji), means "sleet" and linguistically shares syllables with Nozomi's name.
