[00:02] (Flashback) Arata
    Sorry, but don't call me again.
[00:06] (Flashback) Arata
    I stopped playing karuta.
[00:12] Chihaya
    Hurry up!
[00:19] Taichi
    You're the one who showed up late!
[00:23] Chihaya
    It's not my fault!
[00:24] Chihaya
    I couldn't fall asleep last night.
[00:26] Taichi
    Man, you're like a little kid on
    the night before a field trip.
[00:30] Taichi
    You owe me juice.
[00:31] Chihaya
    What?
[00:34] Chihaya
    This.
[00:35] Chihaya
    Can I get this and also the manju?
[00:37] Taichi
    Hmm?
[00:37] Taichi
    I already bought a gift for him.
[00:41] Chihaya
    I'm going to eat these.
[00:43] Person A
    Thank you very much.
[00:45] Taichi
    I don't think it was
[00:47] ---
    worth borrowing money from
    your sister to make this trip.
[00:53] Taichi
    Are you really that worried?
[00:58] (Flashback) Arata
    Sorry, but don't call me again.
[01:01] (Flashback) Chihaya
    Huh?
[01:02] (Flashback) Arata
    I stopped playing karuta.
[01:08] Chihaya
    An unfamiliar deep voice...
[01:11] Chihaya
    with a Fukui accent.
[01:14] Chihaya
    If I don't go see him now,
[01:16] Chihaya
    I'll never see him again.

    of a
    Midnight
     Moon
[02:34] Taichi
    Hey, Chihaya!
[02:35] Taichi
    It's Mt. Fuji!
[02:37] Taichi
    Sure is beautiful.
[02:41] Chihaya
    Ow!
[02:42] Chihaya
    What was that for, Taichi?!
[02:43] Taichi
    Sorry, my legs are too long!
[02:46] Chihaya
    Mine are even longer!
[02:48] Taichi
    We're on a trip!
    Why don't you take in the scenery?
[02:53] Taichi
    Arata probably found a different hobby.
SIGN    Ginza Superstar Sablé
[02:56] Taichi
    That's normal.
[02:58] Taichi
    It's not a reason to go see him.
[02:59] Chihaya
    Y-You heartless bastard!
[03:01] Taichi
    Men don't get touchy-feely
    with each other.
[03:07] Taichi
    So, Chihaya...
[03:09] Chihaya
    Huh?
[03:10] Taichi
    Is there someone you like?
[03:14] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada!
[03:16] Taichi
    Hah?!
[03:17] Chihaya
    I try to give him chocolate on
    Valentine's every year, but...
[03:19] Harada
    No, I have my wife!
[03:21] Taichi
    You shouldn't be giving her
    a serious reply, Dr. Harada.
[03:26] Taichi
    That wouldn't be considered love!
[03:29] Chihaya
    What would be love then?
[03:31] Taichi
    Love is when...!
[03:38] Taichi
    It isn't fun to be with that person.
[03:41] Chihaya
    What?!
[03:42] Chihaya
    You don't have fun when you're
    with your girlfriend?!
[03:45] Taichi
    I have fun.
[03:47] Taichi
    She listens to me, and she's sweet.
[03:49] Chihaya
    So you just wanted to brag?
[03:51] Chihaya
    You should have taken
    her on a date then.
[03:53] Chihaya
    Instead of wasting a day
    off on a trip to Fukui.
[03:57] Chihaya
    What?!
[03:59] Taichi
    She's ticking me off.
[04:01] Taichi
    You can't even buy a train
    ticket by yourself!
[04:04] Chihaya
    Oh! I forgot about that!
[04:09] Taichi
    It's when nothing goes
    the way you want.
[04:11] Chihaya
    Hurry up!
[04:12] Taichi
    There's no need to run!
SIGN    Shirasaki
SIGN    Kanezawa
[04:18] Taichi
    You're not having fun...
[04:20] Chihaya
    I wanted the window seat!
[04:21] Taichi
    Pipe down! What's the difference?!
[04:30] Taichi
    And yet...
[04:33] Taichi
    You still want to be with her.
[04:43] Taichi
    We're here!
[04:49] Taichi
    If Arata's still living at the same address
[04:50] Taichi
    that was on his New Year's
     card from two years ago,
[04:52] Taichi
    it shouldn't be that far-
[04:54] Taichi
    Chihaya?
[04:55] Chihaya
    Huh? What?
[04:57] Taichi
    Let's find a taxi.
[05:11] Chihaya
    This is Fukui.
[05:14] Chihaya
    This is where Arata lives.
[05:19] Chihaya
    Arata.
[05:26] Chihaya
    We're finally here.
SIGN    Wataya
[05:29] Taichi
    G-Go on, Chihaya.
[05:31] Chihaya
    Y-You go first.
[05:33] Taichi
    You're seriously starting
    to piss me off!
[05:36] Taichi
    Why are you so quiet now?!
[05:38] Chihaya
    You said that men don't get
    touchy-feely with each other!
[05:39] Taichi
    I-I'm still nervous!
[05:42] Chihaya
    Huh?! Why?!
[05:44] (Flashback) Arata
    Mashima, you're...
[05:47] (Flashback) Arata
    ...a coward.
SIGN    Coward
[05:49] Arata
    A little girl wouldn't understand.
[05:51] Chihaya
    What's that?
[05:52] Chihaya
    Stop trying to act all tough!
[05:53] Kids
    She looks like a supermodel.
[05:56] Yuu
    Excuse me!
[06:00] Yuu
    Is something wrong?
[06:02] Yuu
    I live next door.
[06:04] Chihaya
    W-We're from Tokyo!
[06:06] Yuu
    Arata?! Are you Arata's friends?!
[06:09] Chihaya
    Yes! We were friends when
    Arata lived in Tokyo!
[06:12] Yuu
    Arata works at the bookstore by
    the station during this time of day.
[06:16] Chihaya
    The station!
[06:17] Chihaya
    Let's go, Taichi!
[06:19] Chihaya
    Back the way we came!
[06:20] Chihaya
    The station wasn't that far away!
[06:21] Chihaya
    Let's run!
[06:22] Taichi
    I guess it's faster than
    calling for another taxi.
[06:25] Taichi
    And we have to save money
    for the train ride home...
[06:28] Chihaya
    Oh, I'm Chihaya.
[06:30] Chihaya
    Thank you for telling us where he is.
[06:32] Chihaya
    Okay, Taichi.
     Let's go!
[06:34] Taichi
    Hey, Chihaya!
[06:36] Taichi
    Thanks.
[06:44] Taichi
    Chihaya!
[06:46] Taichi
    There's no need to run!
[06:50] Chihaya
    But we have to hurry!
[06:51] Taichi
    You're just gonna stand
    outside the store anyway!
[07:05] Taichi
    Anyway, Fukui's really something.
[07:07] Taichi
    April's almost over, but the
     cherry's are still blossoming.
[07:22] Chihaya
    Do I want to see Arata?
[07:27] Chihaya
    Or do I not want to see Arata?
[07:39] Taichi
    I don't really care either way.
[07:41] Taichi
    We can go home right now.
[07:43] Chihaya
    Huh?
[08:08] Chihaya
    Huh?
[08:31] Taichi
    Are you okay, Chihaya?!
[08:38] Arata
    Chihaya?
[08:41] Chihaya
    I've missed you!
[08:43] Chihaya
    I've missed you!
[08:49] Chihaya
    I've missed you...
[09:00] Yuu
    I'll leave a change of clothes here.
[09:03] Chihaya
    Oh, okay.
[09:12] Taichi
    What am I supposed to do with this?
[09:17] Yuu
    Arata?
[09:20] Yuu
    I'll be going home now.
[09:21] Arata
    Okay.
[09:23] Arata
    Sorry about this, Yuu.
[09:26] Taichi
    U-Uh...
[09:29] Taichi
    Uh, this is a Tokyo specialty.
[09:34] Taichi
    Please take some.
[09:36] Yuu
    Thank you...
[09:39] Yuu
    Bye.
[09:44] Taichi
    You've grown quite a bit.
[09:46] Taichi
    How tall are you?
[09:48] Arata
    173.
[09:49] Taichi
    I lost by a centimeter!
[09:50] Taichi
    O-Oh, what a coincidence.
[09:53] Taichi
    I'm also 173.
[09:57] Arata
    Sure you aren't rounding?
[09:59] Arata
    You were always a coward.
[10:04] Chihaya
    Th-Thank you for letting
    me use your bath.
[10:07] Taichi
    Huh?
[10:08] Taichi
    Why did you wash your hair?!
[10:11] Chihaya
    The back of my head
    was covered in dirt!
[10:13] Chihaya
    But my panties were okay!
[10:14] Taichi
    Don't mention your panties!
[10:16] Taichi
    Are you still in grade school?!
[10:16] Chihaya
    Huh? What's wrong?
[10:18] Chihaya
    They're my panties!
[10:19] Taichi
    My point is...
[10:19] Arata
    You can wear those clothes home.
[10:23] Arata
    Once your hair dries, leave.
[10:24] Chihaya
    Huh?
[10:34] Taichi
    Chihaya, let's go.
[10:37] Chihaya
    Wait!
[10:38] Chihaya
    I wrote a letter for Arata!
[10:40] Taichi
    A letter?
[10:42] Taichi
    When we came all the way up here?
[10:44] Chihaya
    Well, I figured that I
    wouldn't know what to say,
[10:46] Chihaya
    so it would be easier if I had
    something to read off of!
[10:48] Chihaya
    Here it is!
[10:55] Chihaya
    Let's play karuta together
    with the three of us!
[11:01] Chihaya
    Can we use this room?
[11:05] Taichi
    Chihaya?
[11:07] Chihaya
    My favorite moment when playing karuta
[11:10] Chihaya
    comes right before 25 cards are given
    to each player and they're revealed.
[11:16] Chihaya
    I get so excited when I picture
    the good things to come.
[11:20] Chihaya
    I picture myself winning.
[11:23] Chihaya
    Isn't it the same for you?
[11:26] Chihaya
    We were split up when we
    started middle school,
[11:30] Chihaya
    but I'm sure that you still
    played karuta by yourself.
[11:34] Chihaya
    You were getting better every day.
[11:36] Chihaya
    I always believed-
[11:42] Arata
    Don't you understand Japanese?
[11:49] Arata
    I stopped playing karuta.
[11:52] Arata
    I can't play.
[11:54] Chihaya
    Huh?
[12:03] (Flashback) Harada
    Glasses's grandfather
    is an Eternal Master
[12:06] (Flashback) ---
    who's famous in the karuta world.
[12:08] (Flashback) Harada
    I immediately knew that his
    grandfather had taught him the game.
[12:14] Chihaya
    Arata...
[12:14] Taichi
    That's a load of crap!
[12:19] Chihaya
    Taichi!
[12:20] Taichi
    Let's leave!
[12:23] Taichi
    There's no point in
    trying to talk to him.
[12:25] Taichi
    This isn't the Arata we knew.
[12:28] Chihaya
    That's not true!
[12:29] Chihaya
    He must have a reason!
[12:31] Chihaya
    I believe him!
[12:33] Taichi
    If you believe him,
    don't press the issue!
[12:39] Taichi
    We didn't come here to see
    you kick karuta cards!
[12:42] Taichi
    We won't come back!
[12:52] Chihaya
    Wait!
[12:54] Chihaya
    Wait up, Taichi!
[12:55] Chihaya
    Taichi!
[12:59] Taichi
    Chihaya! Hey!
[13:09] Yuu
    Don't leave these behind!
[13:13] Yuu
    Take them with you!
[13:28] Chihaya
    I was never good at anything.
    I never had any dreams...
[13:35] Chihaya
    But Arata told me that if I become
    the best karuta player in Japan,
[13:41] Chihaya
    I would be the best in the world.
[13:45] Chihaya
    If I can be the best in
    the world at something,
[13:49] Chihaya
    I think it's worth a shot.
[13:54] Chihaya
    Why...
SIGN    as my sleeves are wet with dew
[13:56] Chihaya
    Why did Arata stop playing karuta?
[14:00] Chihaya
    Did he really quit?!
[14:03] Chihaya
    What happened?!
[14:04] Chihaya
    Tell me!
[14:20] Yuu
    Arata's grandfather, Mr. Wataya,
    was an Eternal Karuta Master,
[14:26] Yuu
    and he was the one who taught
    Arata to play karuta.
[14:31] Yuu
    Arata loved his grandfather so much.
[14:34] Yuu
    Then, four years ago,
[14:37] Yuu
    his grandfather had a stroke.
[14:41] Yuu
    Arata was there to take
    care of his grandfather.
[14:44] Yuu
    He worked hard to help
    with rehabilitation.
[14:49] Yuu
    But one day, when Arata
    was supposed to be home,
[14:53] Yuu
    his grandfather suffered a relapse.
[14:59] Person A
    Wataya-kun!
[15:00] Person A
    Hurry home!
[15:03] Person A
    Your grandfather suffered an attack!
[15:15] Arata
    Grandpa...
SIGN    Champion Wataya Arata
[15:17] Yuu
    Arata had gone to a tournament
    to reach Class A!
[15:27] Yuu
    Arata hasn't touched a card since.
[15:32] Yuu
    He can't do it.
[15:43] (Flashback) Arata
    Hey, Grandpa.
[15:45] (Flashback) Arata
    How come you can take cards so fast?
[15:50] (Flashback) Arata
    You move for the
     "Would the" and "Would this"
[15:52] (Flashback) ---
    cards after hearing "would"?
[15:54] (Flashback) Arata
    Why?
[15:55] (Flashback) Arata
    Come on, how can you tell?
[15:58] (Flashback) Grandma
    Well, I suppose it's thanks
    to the karuta god.
[16:04] (Flashback) Arata
    The karuta god?
[16:07] (Flashback) Grandma
    If you love karuta and
    play it every day,
[16:12] (Flashback) Grandma
    the karuta god will sometimes whisper
    the next syllable in your ear.
[16:19] (Flashback) Grandma
    You see, my love of karuta is still
[16:22] (Flashback) Grandma
    just as strong as yours.
[16:27] Arata
    If there truly is a karuta god,
[16:33] Arata
    he would look just like Grandpa.
[16:45] (Flashback) Chihaya
    Wait!
[16:46] (Flashback) Chihaya
    I wrote a letter for Arata!
SIGN    If Arata has a cell phone, get his number!! Important!
SIGN    Ask if he received my New Year's card this year... The one I screwed up
[17:05] Chihaya

[17:09] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada wants me to send
    him a picture of Arata.
[17:13] Chihaya
    Will I be able to meet Arata
    at a Kyoto tournament?
[17:17] Chihaya
    My sister's going to be on a quiz show.
[17:19] Chihaya
    But only mention this if I
    have nothing else to say.
[17:26] Arata
    This is the letter?
[17:31] Chihaya
    I believe that Arata
    is like a karuta god.
[17:37] Chihaya
    The longer we're apart,
    the more you seem like a god.
[17:46] Arata
    I'm no god.
[17:51] Arata
    I'm nothing special.
[18:09] Arata
    I'm no god.
SIGN    Dr. Harada wants me to send
    him a picture of Arata.
SIGN    Will I be able to meet Arata
    at a Kyoto tournament?
[18:12] Arata
    But I want to be your friend.

    Trains are considered public places.
[18:31] Taichi
    Can you act like a human being?
[18:36] Chihaya
    I shouldn't have come.
[18:47] Chihaya
    Sorry, Taichi.
[18:49] Chihaya
    We shouldn't have come to see him!

    I didn't want you to come see me...
[19:32] Arata
    I didn't want you to
    see what I've become!

[20:14] Chihaya
    I'm so glad...
[20:16] Taichi
    Huh?
[20:18] Chihaya
    He doesn't hate it!
[20:21] Chihaya
    It's not that Arata hates karuta now!
[20:29] Taichi
    Don't sit down on the floor.
[20:32] Taichi
    And stop babbling Arata.
[20:35] Chihaya
    But...
[20:36] Taichi
    And don't get snot everywhere!
    Suck it up.
[20:43] Taichi
    Could you hear Arata's voice?
[20:47] (Flashback) Chihaya

    Huh?
[21:02] Taichi
    If Arata's coming back,
[21:04] Taichi
