Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) SIGN    Ms. Miyauchi,     We have 5 Karuta Club Members!! (Introductions)     President 1-2 Ayase Chihaya (I'm going to become a Queen!)     Vice President 1-1 Mashima Taichi (Class B jack of all trades.)     Secretary 1-2 Komachi Tsutomu (A very smart rookie.)     Equipment Manager 1-8 Nishida Yusei (The roundest player in Class B.)     Treasurer 1-6 Oe Kanade (A very reliable fan of classical poetry.)      Thank you very much! [00:06] Miya     You have five members, so you want me [00:07] ---     to officially sanction the Karuta Club. [00:11] Chihaya     Yes! Please! [00:14] Miya     Hmm... [00:25] Miya     Very well. [00:26] Chihaya     Yay! [00:28] Miya     However, change the president     to someone other than Ayase-san. [00:32] Chihaya     Huh?! [00:33] Miya     I'll serve as the advisor for now. [00:35] Miya     Okay, dismissed. [00:39] Chihaya     Why can't I be the club president? SIGN    Well, I think she made a wise decision. [00:44] Kanade     Speaking of which,     who should be the club president? [00:47] Nishida     Let Mashima do it. [00:49] Taichi     Huh? Me? [00:50] Kanade     That makes sense. SIGN    I'm okay with it. [00:54] Taichi     Then that makes Chihaya... [00:55] Chihaya     Okay! I'll be the captain! [00:59] All     Captain? SIGN    Chihaya Furu SIGN    Treasurer Notes [02:13] Kanade     Our budget is 3,000 yen? [02:15] Kanade     There won't be anything     left after we buy cards. [02:22] Taichi     Any suggestions about     how we should practice? [02:26] Nishida     Mashima and I can take     turns playing with Ayase. [02:30] Nishida     The person who isn't playing [02:32] ---     can teach Kana-chan and Desktomu-kun. SIGN    My name is Tsutomu, Porky. [02:37] Nishida     Desktomu. SIGN    Porky. [02:39] Nishida     Desktomu. SIGN    Porky. [02:40] Taichi     That should be fine. [02:42] Taichi     Chihaya is Class A,      so she'll be on a different regimen. [02:46] Kanade     Um, is Class A really so special? [02:50] Taichi     It certainly is. [02:52] Taichi     Players start in Class E. [02:54] Taichi     You have to win tournaments     and work your way up. [02:57] Taichi     By the way, Nishida and I are Class B. [02:59] Nishida     It depends on which society you belong to, [03:02] Nishida     but to reach Class A,      you need to place [03:05] ---     first or second in two tournaments. [03:07] Kanade     Oh? Really? [03:10] Chihaya     Okay! [03:11] Chihaya     Today, I get Kana-chan and Desktomu-kun! [03:16] Taichi     You want to play against Komano and Oe-san? [03:19] Chihaya     Yep! [03:20] Taichi     Are you crazy? [03:21] Taichi     Beginners aren't going to learn anything     by playing someone in class A! [03:25] Chihaya     But we're gonna play! [03:26] Kanade     Huh? [03:26] Taichi     It won't be any fun for them! [03:28] Chihaya     But we're gonna play! [03:29] Taichi     There's no point! [03:31] Chihaya     Does the president or the     captain have more say?! [03:34] All     Uh, good question... SIGN    Verse 9 SIGN    But I      Cannot      Hide [03:39] [POEM] Taichi     Here comes spring,     now the flower blooms [03:49] [POEM] Taichi     Here comes spring,     now the flower blooms [03:57] [POEM] Taichi     While some dodge the famous waves... [04:00] [POEM] Taichi     Like the sound of... SIGN    She's fast! [04:03] Nishida     Wait, she's not gonna go easy on her? [04:05] [POEM] Taichi     the thistle and brush are     blown by the autumn wind [04:12] [POEM] Taichi     All alone, I step... [04:25] Kanade     Chihaya-chan, this won't work. [04:29] Kanade     The gap between us is too big. [04:34] Chihaya     Kana-chan. [04:36] Chihaya     When I played karuta for     the very first time, [04:39] Chihaya     my opponent was someone who     was incredibly strong. [04:43] Chihaya     If he had gone easy on me, [04:46] Chihaya     I wouldn't love karuta the way I do now. [04:51] Chihaya     So, I'm not going to go easy on you. [04:53] Chihaya     I'm going to try my hardest, [04:55] Chihaya     because I need you guys to become stronger. [04:58] Chihaya     This summer,      the five of us will [05:00] ---     participate as a team in     the national tournament! [05:09] Nishida     Omi Jingu? SIGN    What's that? [05:14] Nishida     Every July, there's a tournament     at the Omi Jingu shrine [05:17] ---     in the Shiga Prefecture [05:19] ---     to determine the best high     school karuta players in Japan. [05:22] Nishida     It's considered the Koshien of karuta. [05:25] Chihaya     First, we need to win the Tokyo regionals! [05:27] Chihaya     After that, we'll be in     the national tournament! SIGN    Win... National tournament... [05:33] Kanade     Um, how many schools will be     participating in the Tokyo regionals? [05:38] Chihaya     A whole bunch. [05:39] Chihaya     Tokyo is a competitive region! SIGN    W-We can't make nationals. SIGN    We just started playing. [05:48] Chihaya     It'll be fine! [05:50] Chihaya     I'm going to play real matches [05:51] ---     against Desktomu-kun and Kana-chan every day! [05:54] Chihaya     You better get ready! [06:00] Taichi     Are you sure about this, Chihaya? [06:02] Chihaya     Huh? What do you mean? [06:04] Taichi     The tournament. [06:06] Taichi     If you're playing Komano     and Oe-san every day, [06:09] Taichi     you won't have any time     for serious practice. [06:10] Chihaya     Oh, that. [06:12] Chihaya     I'll be fine in that department. [06:14] Taichi     How will you be fine? [06:16] Taichi     Don't you want to win the     individual tournament? [06:19] Chihaya     Yeah. [06:20] Taichi     Don't worry about the club. [06:21] Taichi     You should be practicing     at the Shiranami Society. [06:24] Taichi     Nishida and I will take     care of the two rookies. [06:29] Chihaya     Taichi. [06:31] Taichi     Huh? [06:32] Chihaya     Do you remember when      the two of us and Arata SIGN    Team Chihaya Furu [06:41] ---     played in a team match for the first time? [06:49] Taichi     I get it. [06:56] Taichi     Positioning is key. SIGN    Positioning? [06:59] Taichi     Yes, when you're placing the     cards on your side of the field. [07:03] Nishida     It's impossible to memorize the position [07:05] ---     of every card perfectly every match, right? SIGN    If my name were sullied by such a brief tryst [07:07] Kanade     I already came up with a     method for placing cards. [07:10] Kanade     I'll put my favorite cards     to the lower right. [07:14] Taichi     But, while putting the "So spring ends" and [07:18] ---     "So spring nights" cards together     makes it easier for you, [07:21] Taichi     you're also making it     easier for your opponent. [07:24] Taichi     Oh, I'm not saying that this is a bad thing. [07:26] Taichi     It's fine if you have faster     reflexes than your opponent. [07:30] Taichi     The idea is to keep practicing     until you've learned [07:34] ---     the positions that are easiest. [07:39] Chihaya     The most important thing is experience! [07:40] Chihaya     Let's play a match! SIGN    Wait. [07:42] Chihaya     Huh? SIGN    I'm left-handed, so I should place my favorite cards to my left? SIGN    Isn't that too simple? SIGN    Are there any theories about how to position the long shot cards? SIGN    There are sixteen cards which begin with "The"... [07:54] Kanade     Please teach me more     about how to place my cards well! [07:58] Kanade     I don't want to lose to     someone who joined after me! [08:03] [POEM] Nishida     be as dear now,     those were the good old days [08:11] [POEM] Nishida     So the flower petals are... [08:14] [POEM] Nishida     Since the dew atop... [08:17] [POEM] Nishida     After many, many years... [08:20] [POEM] Nishida     My own home is... [08:23] [POEM] Nishida     I hear the beating of cloth... SIGN    Huh? A dead card? SIGN    Sorry... [08:31] Chihaya     You don't need to apologize. [08:33] Chihaya     Failure is part of the experience! [08:37] [POEM] Nishida     While it brings me no joy... [08:42] Kanade     I-I took a card... SIGN    and I have yet to visit Amanohashidate or read my mother's letters [08:46] Kanade     My first card. [08:49] Chihaya     That was great, Kana-chan! [08:50] Nishida     Nice job! [08:51] Kanade     I'm so happy! [08:53] Kanade     I promised myself that     I would take this card today! [08:59] Nishida     That's great! [09:02] Chihaya     Arata, I have people to play with now. [09:07] Chihaya     I'm not alone. [09:10] Chihaya     I'm helping to pass on     what you passed to me. [09:19] Miya     The school is already closed! [09:21] Miya     Go home already! [09:24] Nishida     Man, we don't have enough time to practice. SIGN    There's only enough time for two matches after classes end? [09:30] Kanade     I need more time! [09:32] Nishida     You won't be able to     build up any stamina, either. [09:34] Nishida     In tournaments, you sometimes have     to play at least four matches in one day. [09:39] Chihaya     The Shiranami Society      held a two-day camp [09:40] ---     at Lake Kawaguchi over the summer. [09:44] Chihaya     That was to help us build stamina. [09:48] All     Camp? [09:51] Chihaya     Yes, a camp. SIGN    I like the sound of that! SIGN    Let's hold one! [09:55] Kanade     We have a long weekend coming     up because of Founder's Day! [09:58] Nishida     That's great! [09:59] Chihaya     But where do we go? SIGN    We need a place where we can stay overnight and play karuta. [10:06] Nishida     There are only three weeks until the tournament. [10:08] Nishida     It makes more sense to just practice [10:09] ---     instead of wasting time looking     for a good place for a camp. [10:12] Taichi     We can try to use lunch and nights     to make up the difference. [10:17] Chihaya     That's true. [10:18] Chihaya     I can't think of a place nearby where     everybody could stay overnight. [10:24] Chihaya     Oh! [10:26] Taichi     Hmm? [10:30] Chihaya     It was a stroke of luck that Taichi's     parents are in Kobe for a wedding. [10:35] Chihaya     With Founder's Day,      we can play karuta all weekend! [10:40] Taichi     There's an empty room and extra futons, [10:43] Taichi     but are you seriously going     to spend the night here? [10:46] Chihaya     Of course. I'm the captain. [10:51] Chihaya     That's right! [10:52] Chihaya     Show me your room      before everyone gets here! [10:55] Taichi     Huh? [10:56] Chihaya     We used to play games there. [10:59] Chihaya     Do you have a new big TV or something? [11:02] Chihaya     Let me see! [11:05] Taichi     Now look here... [11:10] Taichi     You shouldn't be running     to a guy's room like that. [11:14] Taichi     I'm not gonna let you in. [11:37] Nishida     Mashima... [11:39] Nishida     For the first time in my life,      I feel like we live in a class society. [11:43] Taichi     What are you talking about? [11:45] Taichi     Anyway, did you buy it? [11:48] Nishida     You bet. [11:51] Kanade     I'm really excited about this camp. [11:54] Nishida     What are we having for dinner? SIGN    How about a test of courage? [11:57] Nishida     I like the sound of that! [11:58] Nishida     Is there a graveyard nearby? SIGN    These are all Mashima's? [12:04] Chihaya     Yep! [12:05] Kanade     Eiken Grade Pre-1, violin,     horse riding, skiing... [12:10] Kanade     That's amazing. [12:12] Taichi     Oh, my parents made me     take all kinds of lessons. [12:16] Taichi     Man, why did Chihaya have     to show them those? [12:20] Nishida     Oh, is this your mom? [12:22] Kanade     She's beautiful. [12:24] Chihaya     Uh-huh, but I don't really     like Taichi's mom. [12:29] Kanade     Huh? [12:30] Chihaya     She gets mad when he doesn't win. [12:32] Chihaya     I called her "Mrs. Pressure." [12:38] Taichi     Aren't you here to practice?! [12:43] Chihaya     I have an announcement to make. [12:45] Chihaya     The goal of the first Mizusawa High     School Karuta Club camp is... [12:50] Chihaya     to play 15 matches today and tomorrow! [12:54] Nishida     F-Fifteen?!

[13:07] Chihaya     Stay focused in every match! [13:11] Chihaya     Kana-chan, your swing is too big! [13:15] Chihaya     You aren't using the form I taught you!

[13:56] [POEM] Kanade     May I live to see the day when [14:04] [POEM] Kanade     I long for the agony I feel now [14:11] Taichi     They're both spent.

[14:19] Taichi     Do you want to break people     who are trying their best? [14:25] Taichi     That's enough for today. [14:35] Nishida     That hit the spot! [14:37] Nishida     I'm so glad that Mashima is the president! [14:44] Nishida     Huh? You guys aren't eating? SIGN    I have no appetite. [14:50] Kanade     Same here. [14:52] Kanade     Although, we have to eat     something or we won't last! [14:57] Kanade     Desktomu-kun! [14:59] Kanade     Let's do our best to eat something!

[15:17] Taichi     M-M— [15:19] Taichi     Mom? [15:20] Mom     Oh, Taichi. You're having friends over? [15:23] Taichi     I thought you were staying overnight! [15:26] Mom     Rika suddenly said that     she wanted to go home. [15:29] Rika     No point in me staying if     we weren't going to USJ! [15:33] Mom     Rika is so fickle. [15:34] Chihaya     Whew, that was close... [15:36] Chihaya     Let's grab our shoes and go to my house. [15:39] Chihaya     Mrs. Pressure would never     let girls stay overnight. [15:45] Chihaya     Kana-chan? [16:07] Taichi     Do you want to break people     who are trying their best? [16:15] Chihaya     Now that I think about it,     people always used to tell me...

[17:27] Chihaya     Sorry about today! [17:28] Nishida     Huh? [17:31] Chihaya     I needed to pay more attention. [17:34] Chihaya     Everyone was trying their best,     but I kept pushing you too hard. [17:39] Chihaya     I'm really sorry! [17:44] Nishida     I don't see any problem     with what you were doing. [17:48] Chihaya     Huh? [17:49] Nishida     You just happen to be a pushy person.
