Sayonara Piano Sonata: Encore Pieces

Author: 杉井 光 (Sugii Hikaru) 
Illustrator: 植田 亮 (Ueda Ryo)












Since then, time has moved forward.
All of us have matured a little.
But despite the fact that we are all flying in different directions in order to fully stretch our wings,
we are still soaring beneath the same sky.
That is easily understood after carefully listening to each of our singing voices.






















Chapters
Chapter: "sonate pour deux"
Chapter: If There's No Name on the Wing
Chapter: Stereophonic Love
Chapter: The Final Interview
Chapter: Nobody Sleeps Tonight



********************
"sonate pour deux" and Nobody Sleeps Tonight gives closure to the entire SPS series. The middle three chapters are side-stories.

 "sonate pour deux" — narrated by Naomi
If There's No Name on the Wing — third person narrative on a guest performer for feketerigó
Stereophonic Love — third person narrative on Yuri
The Final Interview — narrated by Naomi / Kyouko
Nobody Sleeps Tonight — narrated by Tetsurou

 Tetsurou gets no illustration, despite being the narrator. Kind of sucks.

    Thanks for posting. Wow, glad you're doing this. Yeah, Tetsurou gets no love from anyone. Oh well. At least he gets his time in the spotlight. Can't wait to read them.

      It's a story about Kyouko's first love, so yes.

    Thanks a lot for all the hard work and time you invested in this amazing work. I thought i won't be able to read this til the end since i read about the elopement between 2 siblings . . . anyway, thanks a lot. Now then, I wonder what happened with Sefirusu11 and his PDF of this Volume? I'm very grateful to his PDFs.

      "Enjoy. I'll probably start working on Shinonome soon. Will probably revisit the other 3 chapters as a change of pace from Shinonome whenever I feel like it." - zgmfx09a, foreword on Piano Encore, Nobody Sleeps Tonight chapter

    Oh man, the author throw some tie in to SPS in his latest work.
    The protag's mom is probably Chiaki.

    Nice this feel like sort of spinoff for SPS.

      Your Profile Picture... That's Touma Kazusa right? Ahh! I can't wait for the Latter half of the VN to be translated! This series serves enough as a distraction though (great one at that)

    Tetsurou as an aged L huh? I'd surprisingly a suitable Analogy! Quite a fresh change of pace... Hope to see how their pre wedding days goes though... Hope they'll be another spin-off for that (cuz that'll be chaotic!)

      I think the translation is stopped, no?
      And also the vol 4 is completed, but the translator don't put in the afterwords which is maybe what the translator refer to 19th chapter and they never put afterwords in the end of every volume like how peoples on Baka-Tsuki do.
      I hope they will continue the translation though...

    Are you going to finish the last volume? I would like to read it until the end and I think it is a shame to leave it unfinished since it's a beatiful story

    I've translated complete volume from Japanese to Russian and may try to translate it to English too, but I am not so proficient in English yet, so I won't be able to create readable text without proofreaders' help. If anyone want to cooperate, try to contact me.
