Nagisa Shinohara Beat & Motion

Beat & Motion chapter 24 is out now. My last review/recap was chapter 22 so today I will be talking about Beat and Motion chapter 23 and chapter 24. Chapter 22 concluded with Nagisa informing Nico about her retirement plans even though her music was at its peak. In this article I will talk about the reason she decided to retire.


Why Nagisa quit music


Beat and Motion chapter 23 begins with were chapter 22 ended. Nagisa told Nico she was retiring. She did so after inviting Nico out for dinner. Nagisa decided she’d retire during her physical therapy. The reason for this is because she doesn’t like the way she sings after the surgery. After Nagisa lost her voice, she was hopeful it would return back to normal but that wasn’t the case. She got surgery and even though she got back her voice, it wasn’t the same. Nagisa revealed she truly loved how her voice used to be and misses it.


Nico's opinion on the retirement


Nico tried comforting her mom. To Nico, even though her mom’s voice tone is different, people are still listening to her and they love her. Nico thinks her mom might get her old voice back if she undergoes more physical therapy since it hasn’t been long she got the surgery.

Unfortunately, this didn’t stop Nagisa, she eventually retired because she believes her new voice is weird. Nagisa believed Nico would understand because she called her mom’s voice “weird” before the retirement plan.


Mui is shocked


Mui hearing what Nico said was in a state of shock, she asked for proof because she couldn’t believe Nagisa Shinohara was in fact Nico’s mother. Mui also believes one word from Nico couldn’t make her mom retire. Nico is still convinced the retirement was a hard decision to make especially since it was at the peak of her popularity. Overall, it was a battle between Nagisa and her voice. Mui was still upset, she believes Nico made a mistake by not telling her in the past. Mui believes Nico makes assumptions about other people’s feeling without talking to them and understanding them first. This explains why Nico didn’t tell Mui about what was happening when they were still friends. Mui confirmed it Nico telling her mom’s situation wouldn’t destroy her dreams of becoming a musician.

Mui and Nico become friends once more


In chapter 24, Mui admits she would be okay if Nico told her what happened in the past. Nico on the other hand is surprised. Nico apologizes to Mui. They both salute each other although Mui was still angry. Mui decided to call up her manager and she told him she will rerecord the vocals for “wave of light”. Mui did so because she wants the song in her album and doesn’t want to put personal grudges into her singing. Mui also asked Nico to tell her more about the song as she’s the one who wrote it.


Closure


Chapter 24 concluded with Miu and Nico having an argument about how Mui should sing the song. Both girls have forgiven each other but they still fight. Everything turned out well for Nico and Mui . So I theorized in the past Nagisa retired because of her voice issues. I assumed it would be severe but it wasn’t, her vocal issues wasn’t life threatening or too serious. It just led to her voice tone being different which she didn’t like hence her retirement.
