SIGN    Music can change the world.
[01:46] ---
    Our new song's sweet, huh?
[01:48] ---
    Yeah, it's badass.
[01:59] ---
    When we play this at our next concert,
    everybody will want to join Rebel Cross.
[02:06] ---
    You got that right.
[02:12] ---
    Here's the lineup for the third concert.
[02:16] ---
    Daiya, we're up against Shinji.
[02:18] ---
    Let's kick his ass this time.
[02:20] ---
    Yeah, man, let's do it.
[02:22] ---
    Don't go too hard on me.
[02:24] ---
    You ain't even a bit worried?
[02:26] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[02:29] ---
    If that's how you took it, I apologize.
[02:38] ---
    Oh, that's right. Daiya-san, you've
    never beaten Shinji-kun, have you?
[02:47] ---
    Maybe so, but if you lose
    your next one, you'll "graduate."
[02:49] ---
    "Graduate" means "get fired," right?
[02:52] ---
    I refuse!
[02:54] ---
    Okay. Everybody's having fun, huh?
[02:56] ---
    Shut up, old man.
[02:58] ---
    I refuse to graduate! No way!
[03:02] ---
    Daiya. What's wrong?
[03:05] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[03:07] ---
    Let's take it from the top.
[03:09] ---
    Well, we're feeling the pressure for once.
[03:12] ---
    I kinda feel inferior when
    it comes to Shinji, weirdly.
[03:17] ---
    So I started acting even
    more out of character.
[03:27] ---
    What are you watching?
[03:28] ---
    Oh, it's the last battle.
[03:31] ---
    Thought I might find some
    hint on how to win this one.
[03:34] ---
    Wow, you mean you're studying?
[03:36] ---
    I guess.
[03:38] ---
    Tetsu-san, got any advice?
[03:40] ---
    Well...
[03:43] ---
    Get naked.
[03:46] ---
    You think I should show some muscle?
[03:49] ---
    I meant metaphorically.
[03:51] ---
    Anyway, don't let it get to you.
    That's not like you.
[03:55] ---
    Metaphorically, huh?
[03:57] ---
    Metaphor
[03:58] ---
    Metaphor
[03:58] ---
    Metaphor
[03:58] ---
    Metaphor
[03:58] ---
    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
[03:58] ---
    Noun — a figure of speech in which a word
    or phrase is applied to an object or action
    to which it is not literally applicable.
[03:59] ---
    I can't read all this.
[04:03] ---
    Kanou-kun's weak point?
[04:05] ---
    Yeah. I bet you know what it is, right?
[04:10] ---
    Are you seriously asking me that?
[04:12] ---
    Yes.
[04:13] ---
    I think maybe that's a question
    for when he's not around.
[04:18] ---
    I'm not the kind of person who
    goes behind somebody's back.
[04:20] ---
    Um... Matsumoto, was it?
[04:22] ---
    You're his bud. What do you think?
[04:26] ---
    Let's talk about his strengths,
    not his weaknesses.
[04:31] ---
    Kanou-kun has mastered the
    fundamentals of both dancing and singing.
[04:34] ---
    He always gives the crowd
    exactly what they're expecting.
[04:38] ---
    And he's a real prince. Isn't that right?
[04:41] ---
    Um, well... I guess.
[04:45] ---
    You, on the other hand,
    are raw and powerful as a singer,
[04:49] ---
    and you honed your dance
    moves on the streets.
[04:51] ---
    Your performances are always unexpected,
    uncalculated, and highly physical.
[04:56] ---
    They're thrilling to watch.
[05:00] ---
    Wait, can you use shorter, simpler words?
[05:04] ---
    Yes. That's it.
[05:06] ---
    Fierce and simple.
[05:07] ---
    Straightforward, you could say.
[05:10] ---
    That's who you are, right?
[05:24] ---
    Smart people are bad at
    explaining stuff, aren't they?
[05:27] ---
    Thinking wasn't getting me anywhere.
[05:29] ---
    So I figured I just had to raise my game.
[05:41] ---
    More.
[05:44] ---
    More. More!
[05:47] ---
    I need to dig deeper.
[05:50] ---
    Raise my game.
[05:55] ---
    Or I'll lose to Shinji again.
[05:59] [SONG]
    Ready! High, high, scream till your voice is hoarse.
[06:03] [SONG]
    Keep on partying forever.
[06:07] [SONG]
    Don't stop me! The future's just getting started!
[06:38] ---
    Tetsu-san?
[06:39] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[06:41] ---
    Okay, that's all for today.
[06:43] ---
    Thank you.
[06:53] ---
    Tetsu-san, am I doing something wrong?
[06:58] ---
    I told you. Get naked.
[07:00] ---
    That "metaphor" again?
[07:02] ---
    I don't get it. It's too clever for me.
[07:05] ---
    Then, ask your body.
[07:14] ---
    So I upped my training even more after that.
[07:29] ---
    Hey, Daiya.
[07:42] ---
    Hello?
[07:44] ---
    I'm going for a run.
[08:00] ---
    Rage-kun.
[08:06] ---
    You're too close.
[08:08] ---
    Daiya-san's been acting weird lately, huh?
[08:12] ---
    He's been spacing out.
    And looking tired all the time.
[08:16] ---
    What's going on?
[08:19] ---
    He's doing a 20 km run every
    morning, followed by weights.
[08:22] ---
    Then, practice.
[08:24] ---
    That's too much for anybody, even Daiya-san!
[08:27] ---
    Not my problem.
[08:28] ---
    He's a gorilla. Let him do what he wants.
[08:43] ---
    It was like, if I felt pain,
    that meant I was making progress.
[08:47] ---
    Thinking back, I guess I was
    running from my problems.
[08:54] ---
    And in the end...
[08:58] ---
    Hey!
[09:02] ---
    Daiya!
[09:03] ---
    Sorry. I slipped.
[09:05] ---
    Liar.
[09:06] ---
    Don't push yourself too hard, Daiya.
[09:09] ---
    Go rest up in the corner.
[09:10] ---
    Tetsu-san, I...
[09:13] ---
    Rest.
[09:15] ---
    Okay.
[09:21] ---
    Sorry.
[09:23] ---
    For what?
[09:33] ---
    I never thought the day would come
    when you'd have to carry my stuff.
[09:37] ---
    I can carry it just fine.
[09:39] ---
    I'm not a kid anymore.
[09:40] ---
    Right.
[09:42] ---
    Get to bed when we get home.
[09:43] ---
    Can't have you collapsing and
    slowing me down again, right?
[10:02] ---
    Yeah.
[10:06] ---
    ARP.
[10:11] ---
    ARP.
[10:15] ---
    Koumoto-kun collapsed
    from overworking himself?
[10:18] ---
    He must've seriously overdone it.
[10:20] ---
    Don't go making the same mistake yourself.
[10:24] ---
    Kanou-kun?
[10:26] ---
    I know exactly how Daiya feels.
[10:29] ---
    When I stop moving,
    I sometimes get really anxious.
[10:34] ---
    Anxious I'll lose my next battle.
[10:36] ---
    Anxious I might never win a battle again.
[10:39] ---
    That fear is always at my back.
[10:43] ---
    If I keep on winning,
    will it get easier someday?
[10:47] ---
    Or will I feel better if I lose?
[10:53] ---
    Just kidding.
[10:55] ---
    Off to practice?
[10:57] ---
    Yeah. I can't afford to lose.
[11:00] ---
    I'm carrying the pride
    of all my past victories,
[11:03] ---
    and the wishes of the
    princesses who support me.
[11:10] ---
    Yokohama
[11:10] ---
    Chinatown
[11:16] ---
    What am I doing?
[11:19] ---
    What should I be doing?
[11:20] ---
    I have to beat Shinji.
[11:23] ---
    Daiya?
[11:25] ---
    Senpai?
[11:26] ---
    What are you doing out here?
[11:28] ---
    Well, you see...
[11:29] ---
    Where's Lord Rage? He's not with you?
[11:32] ---
    Uh, no...
[11:35] ---
    Let's go have some fun. It's been a while.

    A strength that loses to no one,
[12:51] [SONG]
    a heart bound with chains.
[12:55] [SONG]
    Perform your summoning
[12:57] [SONG]
    Black Sapphire!
[13:01] ---
    Olé! Fantasista!
[13:06] ---
    Coming!
[13:08] ---
    Rage-kun?
[13:09] ---
    You're making too much noise.
[13:11] ---
    Don't forget, you live next to Rage-sama.
[13:13] ---
    Sorry.
[13:15] ---
    I can wear shoes in here, right?
[13:16] ---
    What? No, take them off.
[13:20] ---
    I'm thirsty. And I want sweets.
[13:22] ---
    Get them yourself.
[13:23] ---
    Is hospitality a foreign concept to you?
[13:25] ---
    Now, be a good host and
    fetch your pal Rage some snacks.
[13:29] ---
    "Good host"? Dream on.
[13:31] ---
    What's going on with Daiya-san?
[13:34] ---
    No idea.
[13:35] ---
    Where'd he go?
[13:36] ---
    No idea.
[13:37] ---
    Is he feeling okay?
[13:38] ---
    No idea.
[13:41] [SONG]
    Perform your summoning
[13:44] [SONG]
    Black Sapphire!
[14:07] ---
    Daiya.
[14:08] ---
    You're hitting your notes more cleanly.
[14:10] ---
    Oh, you think so?
[14:11] ---
    It wasn't a compliment.
[14:18] ---
    You've gone somewhere
    different with your singing.
[14:24] ---
    Pitch-perfect performances are bland.
[14:28] ---
    Of course, hitting your
    notes is important, but...
[14:33] ---
    If it's not from here, what's the point?
[14:38] ---
    You used to sing songs that pushed you to
    your limit. Songs that made your heart burn.
[14:44] ---
    When we saw you and Rage off,
[14:47] ---
    we believed you guys would stay
    the same, no matter where you went.
[14:53] (Flashback) ---
    Get naked.
[14:59] ---
    Make me feel that burning feeling again.
[15:05] ---
    You're right.
[15:11] ---
    That's enough, Rage-kun.
[15:14] ---
    You'll be sick if you eat any more candy.
[15:19] ---
    I'm going home.
[15:20] ---
    Is Daiya-san back?
[15:23] ---
    What's going on?
[15:33] ---
    I bumped into our old bandmates.
[15:38] ---
    Yeah?
[15:41] ---
    They lectured me.
[15:43] ---
    Lecturing's what old people do.
[15:46] ---
    That's not fair. They're only
    five years older than us.
[15:50] ---
    Once you start lecturing people, you're old.
[15:53] ---
    Maybe.
[15:59] ---
    For this next concert...
[16:01] ---
    Yeah?
[16:03] ---
    I'm gonna get naked.
[16:07] ---
    What?
[16:10] ---
    Okay, it's now time for the battle song!
[16:13] ---
    A one-on-one duel between
    Shinji-kun and Daiya-kun.
[16:16] ---
    Shinji, let's have some fun.
[16:20] ---
    Yeah. Let's have a good time.
[16:32] ---
    It's started.
[16:35] ---
    Daiya-san's being weird.
[16:38] ---
    He's naked, after all.
[16:51] ---
    Well, isn't this something?
[16:52] ---
    It's more a street fight
    than a dance routine.
[16:55] ---
    He's stark naked.
[16:57] ---
    Go, Daiya!
[17:00] ---
    He's crazy, but seriously cool!
[17:03] ---
    What is this?
[17:04] ---
    Right?
[17:05] ---
    This is Daiya.
[17:14] ---
    I'm sorry, Kanou-kun...
[17:18] ---
    Shinji-kun's amazing, but this is...
[17:22] ---
    This time, Daiya-san will...
[17:24] ---
    The winner is...
[17:29] ---
    Daiya!
[17:31] ---
    Yes!
[17:35] ---
    Thanks for cheering me on, everybody!
[17:39] ---
    I did it, Rage!
[17:42] ---
    I can tell that from here.
[17:44] ---
    Rage, you meanie.
[17:47] ---
    
[17:54] ---
    
[17:57] ---
    
[17:59] ---
    
[18:06] ---
    
[18:12] ---
    
[18:15] ---
    
[18:19] ---

[19:30] ---
    
[19:34] ---
    
[19:37] ---
    
[19:40] ---
    
[19:44] ---
    
[21:20] ---
    To all you out there watching
    ARP Backstage Pass, good evening!
[21:25] ---
    Good evening.
[21:26] ---
    So you all just watched Episode 8.
[21:29] ---
    And it was all about me, Daiya.
[21:34] ---
    What did you think?
[21:35] ---
    You sure ran a lot, didn't ya?
[21:37] ---
    It's like you went, "All I need
    to do to impress the viewers is run!"
[21:41] ---
    You see that all the time on TV.
[21:42] ---
    No, it wasn't!
[21:43] ---
    What episode were you watching?
[21:45] ---
    Well, that's what he says.
[21:48] ---
    But you know, there was that flashback
    with Daiya-kun and Rage-kun, right?
[21:53] ---
    It felt like the bond between
    you two was truly special.
[21:58] ---
    You had your hankie out, Shinji-kun.
[22:01] ---
    Maybe once or twice.
[22:02] ---
    It was a nice moment.
[22:04] ---
    Yeah, that.
[22:05] ---
    I understand they had
    to do that for the anime...
[22:07] ---
    But is it really worth shedding tears over?
[22:10] ---
    That makes me feel kinda weird.
[22:13] ---
    Well, you know. All you need to do to engage
    the viewers is throw some kids in there.
[22:19] ---
    Can I have my tears back?
[22:22] ---
    Oh, and there were the
    Cross Bone guys, too, right?
[22:26] ---
    Yeah. That.
[22:27] ---
    We got the real people to
    help with the recording.
[22:32] ---
    Like for that song: "Black Sapphire."
[22:34] ---
    It's been forever since I sung it.
[22:35] ---
    Who told you that you could sing my part?
[22:39] ---
    The script did. What do you want from me?
[22:41] ---
    So is Endou behind this again?
    Did he put you up to this?
[22:44] ---
    "Director" Endou.
[22:46] ---
    Director. Sorry, director!
[22:48] ---
    They were all so cool.
    With their dandy outfits and stuff.
[22:51] ---
    "Dandy" is a little much.
[22:53] ---
    Anyway, to explain, they were our
    bandmates before we joined ARP.
[22:59] ---
    They used to do session work,
    and they were in a bunch of bands.
[23:03] ---
    But Rage talked to them,
    and then, got me involved,
[23:05] ---
    and that's how Cross Bone started.
[23:07] ---
    Daiya was all like,
    "I'm gonna be a rock star!"
[23:11] ---
    But then he didn't do anything.
    So I became his producer.
[23:14] ---
    It wasn't quite like that, but sure.
[23:16] ---
    But you were both in
    middle school, right?
[23:19] ---
    I'm amazed grown-ups
    decided to join your band.
[23:22] ---
    Well, that was all thanks
    to the famous Rage charisma.
[23:24] ---
    Sure, sure...
[23:26] ---
    Anyway, on to the preview!
[23:28] ---
    Next time, Rage-kun and I will
    be forming a unit of our own!
[23:32] ---
    Shinji-kun kicks butt, ya dig?
