Her standoffishness can be attributed to her tsundere qualities in which although she may want to get close to others, she cannot admit that and refuses, as best she can, to show it. Maki was initially portrayed as a loner in the first few episodes, and spent her time alone in the music room. Nico attempts to disillusion her, but is held back by other members who did not want to ruin Maki's belief. Maki continues on to describe (somewhat proudly) how she cleans the chimney for Santa, and how he never misses her house. One such example is her uninterrupted belief in Santa Claus, which the rest of the group finds out about while together. She also has somewhat childish beliefs which are undoubtedly reflections on her somewhat sheltered upbringing. Maki has the qualities of a tsundere, and she has a hard time admitting her true feelings to her peers. In Season 2 Episode 2, it is revealed that her family also owns a vacation house in the mountains. Therefore, μ's gladly insisted that Maki should go and ask her parents if they could use it, which they allow. Ultimately, she is able to admit and accept her true feelings of love for music and join µ's.īecause of Maki's wealth, it is discovered in Season 1 Episode 10 that her parents own a beach house. Despite music always being her true passion, when Honoka invites her to join µ's, Maki refuses at first in accordance to her self-inflicted pressure to deny herself music in favor of her studies. She always had a notably beautiful voice, and she was able to compose her own music with a piano. Maki respects her parents and does not question their expectations despite the immense pressure to live up to their standards and make them proud.Īlthough Maki grew up singing and practicing piano, her parents' emphasis on Maki's medical concentration has made her accept that she ultimately must give up her passion for music, this becoming an increasing reality each year she grew older. Because of this, Maki is spoiled and doted on yet not given any long-term freedom to be anything other than a doctor. She is an only child, and thus, the sole heiress to her family's properties and legacy. In fact, the song’s universality has turned it into an almost nondenominational and humanist hymn, blessed with an equivocal outlook that can magically give succor to all forms of love.Maki comes from a highly reputable and wealthy family marked by doctors and hospital ownership. Combining the fatalism of lines like ‘what good would living do me’ with the use of God in the title was risky business back in the mid-’60s. Once that miasmic mix of harpsichords and celestial brass clears, and that opening caveat is laid bare, we’re left with a heartbreakingly tender song of yearning, of devotion and of fidelity. The uncertainty of the first line (‘I may not always love you’) is a classic pop curveball, which works with the swooping transition from intro to verse. Three years later, Wilson and the Boys would surpass the master with a song that lifted the notion of the sophisticated love song clean into the heavens.
In 1963, Brian Wilson was so obsessed with Phil Spector’s orchestral vision for the Ronettes’ ‘Be My Baby’ that he reportedly took to listening to it 100 times a day.
