Inokori Sensei is the ninth song in Confession Executive Committee, both in the Love Series and for CEC as a whole. This installment is another side story, this time featuring the complicated relationship between Haruki Serizawa and his Japanese teacher Saku Akechi. The song is primarily sung from Haruki's perspective, despite being Akechi's character song.
A version using Akechi's seiyuu Hikaru Midorikawa was found on the first compilation album Boku Ja Dame Desu Ka? ~Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai Character Song Collection~. Later still it received an official CHiCO with HoneyWorks cover for their second album Watashi no Someru i no Uta.
Interestingly, despite referencing the Haruki/Saku/Chiaki conflict that would later become important in the third volume of the Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu light novel series, this song and PV does not spoil or directly reference any of the contents.
The events are retold in the fifth light novel Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu: Koi-Iro ni Sake.
Synopsis
- For not raising his hand when asked, Haruki is called out by Akechi to stay behind after class. When they're alone, Haruki calls his teacher out for supposedly patronizing him when he's supposedly matured, and asks him why they keep up a barrier as teacher and student when they were friends before. Akechi regularly deflects the question, and questions why Haruki always puts up a tough front whenever they get in close proximity. This happens multiple times, though Haruki never relents and never raises his hand, tired of the gap between them.
- Watching Haruki hang out with his friends, Saku gets flashbacks to his own time in high school when he hung out with Haruki's brother, Chiaki. He has visions of a beach day, water rushing up, Haruki as a child crying by a bedside, and Akechi himself looking distraught; all references to Chiaki's death, all but stating that they don't talk much anymore because of guilt that welled up from the incident.
- When roll call happens again and Akechi asks if everyone likes their teacher and class, he finally realizes that he's the only one not satisfied. It cuts back to the argument in detention with Haruki finally breaking through to Akechi, offering to start on a fresh step so they can go back to their old relationship.
