***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.
**[12:02] [SONG]**
**[12:06] [SONG]**
**[12:09] [SONG]**
**[12:13] [SONG]**
**[12:17] [SONG]**
**[12:25] [SONG]**

**[12:32] [SONG]**
**[12:34] [SONG]**
**[12:35] [SONG]**
**[12:39] [SONG]**
**[12:41] [SONG]**
**[12:43] [SONG]**
**[12:47] [SONG]**
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] ---**
**[18:22] ---**
**[18:26] ---**
**[18:29] ---**
**[18:33] ---**
**[18:36] ---**
**[18:41] ---**
**[18:45] ---**
**[18:49] ---**
**[18:52] ---**
**[18:59] ---**
**[19:06] ---**
**[19:08] ---**
**[19:27] ---**
**[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?
