***SIGN*** A Good Kid
**[01:37] Ruriko**
Sara, you're in a good mood today!
**[01:40] Sara**
Well, these uniforms are just so cute!
**[01:45] Aona**
You've still got that
wide-eyed innocence, Sara.
**[01:48] Aona**
You've been at this for a year, you know.
**[01:53] Sara**
*Who could it be?*
**[01:57] Sara**
Huh?! They're coming today?!
**[02:05] Sara**
Would anyone like a beer?
**[02:07] Sara**
Would anyone like an ice-cold beer?
**[02:11] Narrator**
Sara is this park's only
high-school-aged vendor.
**[02:16] Customer A**
I'll take a beer!
**[02:19] Sara**
Thank you!
**[02:21] Customer B**
Hey, Yuuhi Beer girl!
**[02:23] Sara**
Yes, coming right up!
**[02:27] Customer C**
Kohinata!
**[02:30] Kohinata**
Thank you for your patronage.
**[02:32] Customer C**
It's another hot one, huh?
**[02:34] Customer C**
You getting along okay?
**[02:36] Kohinata**
Yes!
**[02:37] Kohinata**
I'm getting plenty of rest and hydration.
**[02:41] Sara**
* I don't have many regulars*
* who use my given name.*
**[02:45] Sara**
Thank you very much.
**[02:47] Mother**
Sara, dear! Over here!
**[02:51] Sara**
*Here they are.*
**[02:52] Sara**
* Some of the only regulars*
* who use my given name.*
**[02:56] Mother**
Sara!
**[02:58] Father**
Hey!
**[03:00] Sara**
Ma, Pa, you gotta stop coming here.
**[03:04] Father**
Don't be cross, now!
**[03:07] Father**
We're your customers today!
**[03:09] Mother**
You just look so cute in that uniform!
**[03:12] Sara**
Keep it down. You're embarrassing me.
**[03:16] Father**
Smile for the camera, Sara!
**[03:18] Sara**
I told you, no photos while I'm on the job!
**[03:22] Father**
Say cheese!
**[03:25] Narrator**
Sara is a good kid.
**[03:28] Father**
Isn't our Sara the best vendor girl in the park?
**[03:33] Mother**
Sure is!
**[03:34] Sara**
Hey, I'm totally not!
**[03:37] (Flashback) Kohinata**
Would anyone like a beer?
**[03:39] Sara**
Kohinata's our ace.
**[03:41] Sara**
She's beautiful, and she sometimes
sells 400 cups in a day!
**[03:46] Sara**
Aona's going to college to become a teacher,
so she gives the best advice.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Aona**
Always start at the bottom and go up so
you're in the customers' sight lines for longer.
**[03:56] Aona**
And Ruriko, the latest hire...
**[03:58] (Flashback) Ruriko**
Heya!
**[04:00] Sara**
Um... hmm...
**[04:08] Sara**
Well, she's just amazing!
**[04:11] Sara**
And then there's Kokoro,
who wants to be an actress!
**[04:14] Sara**
She's so cheerful and kind...
**[04:17] Sara**
And then, and then...
**[04:21] Narrator**
Sara is a good kid.
**[04:24] Mother**
You've got yourself a lot of big sisters, huh?
**[04:27] Father**
Such a lovely thing for an only child like you!
**[04:30] Father**
Now, one more shot!
**[04:32] Sara**
No! I gotta go.
**[04:34] Sara**
Don't come here so often, okay?
**[04:36] Father**
Hey, wait a minute!
**[04:39] Sara**
What now?
**[04:41] Father**
Say hi to everyone else!
**[04:44] Sara**

**[05:15] Narrator**
One day in July, after the game...
**[05:19] sign**
Women's Changing Room
**[05:31] Ruriko**
Dang, what a hot day!
**[05:33] Ruriko**
I need a cold bath after that.
**[05:37] Aona**
The summer's just kicking off, Ruriko.
**[05:40] Kohinata**
If this is enough to wear you out,
you'll be in real trouble soon.
**[05:46] Ruriko**
You kidding me?!
**[05:48] Kokoro**
I'm hitting up the vending machine!
Anyone want anything?
**[05:52] Aona**
Water for me, please!
**[05:53] Kohinata**
I'll take a barley tea.
**[05:59] Aona**
What's going on back here?
**[06:02] Sara**
Sorry.
**[06:04] Sara**
I tried to get the laundry basket,
and it all came crashing down.
**[06:07] Ruriko**
Hey, come on...
**[06:09] Aona**
Are you okay?
**[06:10] Kokoro**
Were you hurt?
**[06:11] Sara**
No, I'm okay.
**[06:13] Sara**
Thank you for asking.
**[06:20] Nakaizumi**
Oh, this thing? Finally gave in, did it?
**[06:24] Kohinata**
The waiting rooms and changing
rooms have too much clutter.
**[06:28] Kohinata**
Who knows how long some of
these things have even been here?
**[06:32] Nakaizumi**
Guess we can't put it off any longer.
**[06:37] Kohinata**
All right.
**[06:39] Kohinata**
Let's get cleaning!
**[06:42] Narrator**
Kohinata had locked in!
**[06:57] Sara**
Need this.
**[06:59] Sara**
Don't need this.
**[07:01] Sara**
Need this.
**[07:03] Sara**
Need this.
**[07:04] Sara**
This one... I don't need.
**[07:07] Sara**
This one...
**[07:09] Sara**
Decide later.
**[07:12] Sara**
Hey, my notepad from
when I first started here!
**[07:16] Sara**
I don't use it anymore, but I don't
want to throw it out, either...
**[07:20] Ruriko**
Sara, sweet child.
**[07:22] Ruriko**
You'd better hurry up or
you'll be here for five hours.
**[07:28] Sara**
I'm doing my best, okay?
**[07:31] Ruriko**
Look at you, grown-up girl!
You love cleaning so much!
**[07:34] Sara**
Well, it's fun! It's like a school club!
**[07:38] Sara**
I'm not in any clubs at school.
**[07:42] Ruriko**
Hey, tone down that teenage enthusiasm!
**[07:44] Ruriko**
Everything feels like a treasure
when you're young!
**[07:44] Sara**
Hey, stop it! Cut it out!
**[07:48] Ruriko**
You like this, too, don't you?
Snuggle, snuggle!
**[07:54] Sara**
You're only three years older than me!
**[07:58] Ruriko**
What, you think twenty's not a big deal?
**[08:00] Sara**
It's not!
**[08:02] Ruriko**
Ooh, big talk!
**[08:02] Kohinata**
* I bet these moments are*
* a treasure to Ruriko, too.*
**[08:12] Ruriko**
You okay, Aona?
**[08:15] Aona**
Y-Yeah, I'm fine!
**[08:17] Aona**
Nothing going on here!

**[08:43] Ruriko**
I-I-Is that...
**[08:46] Aona**
No, no, no, no...
**[08:47] Ruriko**
Sara, get over here!
**[08:49] Ruriko**
Aona's got something scandalous!
**[08:52] Aona**
No! Stay away!
**[08:54] Ruriko**
Aw, pwease!
**[08:56] Ruriko**
Share your romantic feast
with us poor, starving singletons!
**[09:00] Sara**
I want to see it!
**[09:01] Kohinata**
*Stare...*
**[09:03] Aona**
No way!
**[09:04] Ruriko**
Don't be so stubborn!
**[09:05] Sara**
Don't be stubborn!
**[09:06] Aona**
Back off!
**[09:08] Nakaizumi**
C'mon, guys!
Let's not spread the slack-off bug!
**[09:13] Omatsu**
What's that all about?
**[09:15] Nakaizumi**
No idea.
**[09:16] Omatsu**
Anyway, Nakaizumi,
**[09:18] Omatsu**
what do I do with these?
**[09:20] Nakaizumi**
With what?
**[09:21] Omatsu**
I'm not sure whether to throw 'em out or not.
**[09:23] Nakaizumi**
Let's see what we've got.
**[09:28] Nakaizumi**
These are...

**[09:31] Nakaizumi**
Classic *Weekly Baseball*!
**[09:33] Nakaizumi**
These are from twenty years ago!
**[09:36] Nakaizumi**
Ah, reliving the days of my youth!
**[09:39] Nakaizumi**
And look how much cheaper they were!
**[09:43] Aona**
Nakaizumi, you've caught the slack-off bug.
**[09:48] Nakaizumi**
Hey, you guys know who this is?
**[09:55] Aona**
Takino? Is that...
**[09:59] Omatsu**
It's Kojiro!
**[10:00] Omatsu**
He's so young!
**[10:02] Nakaizumi**
Even that gruff old Kojiro was once
a wide-eyed, crew-cutted youngster.
**[10:07] Aona**
And who's the guy next to him? This "Tsubaki"?
**[10:11] Aona**
Never heard of that guy.
**[10:14] Nakaizumi**
Tsubaki was a first-round draft pick
by the MotorSuns out of high school.
**[10:19] Nakaizumi**
He quietly retired six years ago.
**[10:24] Nakaizumi**
Takino and Tsubaki were a famous
duo at Makiyama High School.
**[10:29] Nakaizumi**
They both wanted to get into the MotorSuns,
**[10:32] Nakaizumi**
but Kojiro was drafted by another club
and became their star player.
**[10:37] Nakaizumi**
Meanwhile, Tsubaki,
who made it to the MotorSuns,
**[10:41] Nakaizumi**
struggled with injuries
until he finally hung it up.
**[10:46] Nakaizumi**
Tsubaki had already quit
by the time Kojiro joined us,
**[10:50] Nakaizumi**
so there was no reunion of the Double-T Duo.
**[10:53] Nakaizumi**
It was announced that Tsubaki went
to join an independent league in the USA.
**[10:56] Nakaizumi**
I wonder what he's up to now...
**[11:00] Aona**
There's just no stopping this guy.
**[11:02] Omatsu**
Once you're done reading them,
either throw them out or take them.
**[11:10] Ruriko**
Hey, Sara!
**[11:16] Ruriko**
What's this, now?
**[11:22] Ruriko**
My dear, sweet Sara, you can't
hide your tests from your parents!
**[11:27] Ruriko**
That's not something a big kid does!
**[11:29] Sara**
I-I'm going to show them...
**[11:31] Sara**
And don't look through my stuff!
**[11:34] Ruriko**
Is our little Sara embarrassed about breaking
her perfect-score, honor-roll record?
**[11:40] Ruriko**
Is she? Hmm?
**[11:43] Sara**
Stop making fun of me!
You're the one acting like a little kid!
**[11:49] Ruriko**
Yeah, whatever. Sorry, fine.
**[11:51] Sara**
I can't stand it!
**[11:57] Ruriko**
*Am I... like a little kid?*
**[12:01] Aona**
Attention, all! I found something awesome!
**[12:05] Aona**
It's the old Yuuhi uniform!
**[12:08] Aona**
Isn't it adorable how much it looks
like a real player uniform?
**[12:12] Kokoro**
I love it!
**[12:14] Kokoro**
I bet you could still wear it!
**[12:15] Sara**
It had shorts, huh?
**[12:17] Nakaizumi**
Whoops! Forgot to return that to HQ.
**[12:22] Nakaizumi**
That's the previous generation.
**[12:25] Nakaizumi**
We had male vendors back then, too.
**[12:27] Nakaizumi**
They looked pretty cool paired together!
**[12:31] Aona**
Wow!
**[12:33] Nakaizumi**
The customers really liked 'em, too.
**[12:37] Kokoro**
It feels so old-school!
**[12:40] Kohinata**
* I think Nakaizumi and I are the only*
* ones who remember those days...*
**[12:47] Aona**
There's something in the pocket.
**[12:49] Ruriko**
What is it?
**[12:51] Aona**
Wow, it's a photo!
**[12:53] Aona**
I guess it's the person
who used to wear this outfit.
**[12:56] Aona**
Who could it be?
**[12:58] Kokoro**
Wow, the big-haired gyaru look! She's fab!
**[13:02] Kokoro**
The girl in the glasses
looks a little familiar, too...
**[13:06] Ruriko**
The gyaru's got a seriously legendary aura.
**[13:09] Sara**
C'mon, guys! I can't see!
**[13:14] Nakaizumi**
That's another trip down memory lane!
**[13:18] Ruriko**
Nakaizumi, you know this gyaru?
**[13:20] Ruriko**
What's she like?
**[13:20] Sara**
C'mon, let me see!
**[13:22] Nakaizumi**
W-Well, um...
**[13:27] Nakaizumi**
Actually, she's someone you all know very well.
**[13:30] Ruriko**
Huh?
**[13:31] Aona**
We know her?
**[13:33] Kokoro**
This girl is still here in the ballpark?!
**[13:37] Sara**
*Can it be...*
**[13:42] Kohinata**
Bingo...
**[13:45] All**
Kohinata?!
**[13:47] Kokoro**
It can't be true!
**[13:48] Sara**
What a change!
**[13:51] Nakaizumi**
That girl behind her is Natsume.
**[13:54] Nakaizumi**
That was ten years ago, I guess!
**[13:57] Aona**
Are you saying this was Kohinata at 19?!
**[14:02] Kohinata**
I won't look back!
For me, only the future matters!
**[14:05] Ruriko**
Why the personality change?
**[14:07] Kohinata**
It wasn't!
**[14:09] Kohinata**
That was just the fashion ten years ago.
**[14:12] Aona**
Kohinata, put on the uniform!
**[14:15] Kokoro**
Give yourself the big hair, too!
**[14:17] Ruriko**
Great idea! Let's do it right now!

One day in July,
**[14:42] Narrator**
the Chiba MotorSuns Stadium
had a rare sell-out crowd!
**[14:46] Narrator**
For you see, on that day...
**[14:49] Narrator**
they were holding the once-a-year
celebration of Japanese pro baseball...
**[14:52] Narrator**
the All-Star Game!
**[14:54] Narrator**
Popular players from all
twelve clubs split up by league
**[14:58] Narrator**
and battle it out over two days.
**[15:01] Narrator**
It's held in a different venue each year,
**[15:03] Narrator**
but today, it returns to our MotorSuns
Stadium for the first time in eight years!
**[15:10] Ruriko**
Would anyone like a beer?
**[15:14] Ruriko**
Ice-cold beer!
**[15:16] Ruriko**
Would anyone like a Hyper Dry?
**[15:20] Customer D**
So this is MotorSuns Stadium, huh?
**[15:23] Customer D**
It's decent.
**[15:25] Customer E**
Look at that gyaru vendor girl!
**[15:28] Narrator**
The unfamiliar customer base
makes the vendor girls nervous, as well.
**[15:39] Customer D**
The Styx win on the vendor girls front.
**[15:42] Customer E**
Every other front, too.
**[15:44] Customer E**

picked for this year's ASG!
