[00:01] M
Kokomi, time to eat!
[00:07] M
Eat up.
[00:10] Kokomi
Mom, aren't you making
more food than usual lately?
[00:14] M
Your tournament is coming up soon.
[00:16] M
You need lots of nourishment.
[00:18] M
There's plenty more, so eat up.
[00:23] Kokomi
Right.
[00:41] Kokomi
I knew it...
SIGN Blue Melon Buns
[02:18] Kokomi
Good morning.
[02:19] Matsuri
Good morning, Shiina-san.
[02:22] Tsugumi
Morning.
[02:23] Tsugumi
Wearing track clothes today?
[02:24] Kokomi
Hm? Yeah.
[02:27] Kokomi
It's gotten colder out,
[02:29] Kokomi
and I don't want to catch a cold
with the tournament coming up.
[02:32] Tsugumi
It is cooler,
[02:34] ---
but don't you think it feels nice and refreshing?
[02:39] Matsuri
Yeah, it really makes you feel like working hard.
[02:43] Tsugumi
Hm? What's wrong?
[02:45] Kokomi
It's nothing.
SIGN Rhythmic Gymnastics Team
[02:52] Kokomi
I can't let such silly things get to me.
[02:55] Kokomi
I need to focus on practice.
[03:01] Akane
Good morning!
[03:03] Nao
Good morning...
[03:04] Akane
Huh?
[03:05] Akane
Didn't get enough sleep?
[03:06] Akane
For a model, staying up all
night is bad for your skin.
[03:10] Akane
How many hours did you sleep?
[03:12] Nao
About twelve hours?
[03:15] Nao
I slept so much, I'm tired...
[03:18] Akane
Ah, so that's why.
[03:32] Tsugumi
Wow...
[03:33] Matsuri
Amazing...
[03:38] Nao
An interview?
[03:39] Akane
That's right.
[03:40] Akane
During today's lunch broadcast,
[03:42] Akane
we're supposed to interview the
school's most famous students
[03:45] Akane
on the "Attacking the School's Hottest!" segment,
[03:48] Akane
but today's guest got sick and can't come.
[03:51] Akane
I know it's sudden, but I was
hoping I could ask you, Nao-chan.
[03:54] Nao
I'm not famous...
[03:57] Nao
I don't know many people, either...
[04:01] Akane
What are you saying?
[04:03] Akane
You're a model. Lots of
girls would love to do that!
[04:06] Akane
I'm sure people would like to hear about you.
[04:09] Nao
You really think so?
[04:11] Akane
Okay, Miyoshi-san,
[04:12] Akane
what would you like to do the most right now?
[04:15] Nao
Uh... Go back to sleep?
[04:18] Akane
Go back to sleep?
[04:20] ---
See?
[04:21] Tsugumi
That was awesome!
[04:24] Tsugumi
Seriously awesome!
[04:25] Matsuri
Your realistic performance really
impressed me, Shiina-san!
[04:28] Kokomi
Really?
[04:30] Tsugumi
I can tell how pumped you are
for the tournament coming up.
[04:34] Tsugumi
Your body looks really well-balanced, too!
[04:38] Kokomi
Well-balanced?
[04:39] Matsuri
Yeah, it feels like there's so much
weight to your performance.
[04:43] Kokomi
Weight...?
[04:47] Kokomi
I have to get back to class.
[04:50] Kokomi
I'm sorry.
[04:54] Both
Huh?
[04:57] Nao
Wouldn't Shiina-san be better?
[05:00] Nao
For your interview.
[05:02] Akane
Shiina-san, huh?
[05:04] Akane
It's true that everyone's expecting her
to do well in the next tournament.
[05:08] Nao
Well, there you go.
[05:10] Akane
Huh? Hey, that's completely beside the point!
[05:14] Tachibana
As you can see, by not making the reason
why the teacher killed himself obvious,
[05:19] Tachibana
Soseki gives the readers room
to use their imaginations...
[05:23] Kokomi
Now that I think about it,
my mom really has been...
[05:26] (Flashback) M
I made fried mincemeat cutlets tonight,
[05:29] (Flashback) M
so you can fry your competition at the tournament!
[05:31] (Flashback) M
Get it?
[05:32] M
If she sticks with that pun, she'll
be making a lot of fried foods...
[05:36] M
They taste good, so I end
up eating them, but still...
[05:40] M
And I've had morning practice every day,
[05:43] M
so I end up eating too much at lunch.
[05:47] Tachibana
So, Shiina-san,
[05:50] ---
do you know the proverb that means
"your actions have consequences"
[05:53] Tachibana
that would appropriately match this situation?
[05:56] Kokomi
Yes.
[05:57] Kokomi
"What goes around, comes around."
[05:59] Tachibana
That's correct.
[06:01] Tachibana
There's also a similar proverb that
says, "You reap what you sow."
[06:05] Tachibana
But "what goes around, comes around"
originates with Buddhist teachings,
SIGN What goes around comes around
SIGN You reap
what you sow
[06:08] Tachibana
which instruct that your actions,
right and wrong, will be repaid in kind.
[06:13] Tachibana
Recently, it's often used to refer to "bad karma."
[06:17] Tachibana
Let's turn to the next page.
[06:21] Kokomi
I need to go on a diet.
[06:25] Kokomi
An interview?
[06:27] Akane
That's right.
[06:28] Akane
I asked Miyoshi-san from our class,
[06:31] ---
but she ran away.
[06:33] Kokomi
You mean the Miyoshi-san who's a model, right?
[06:37] Akane
Yeah.
[06:38] Akane
Then your name came up
[06:39] Akane
because the whole school is rooting
for your win in rhythmic gymnastics.
[06:44] Kokomi
I see...
[06:45] Akane
Please! I'm begging you!
[06:50] Kokomi
Sure. I'll do it.
[06:55] Akane
Thank you!
[07:00] Akane
Sorry.
[07:01] Kokomi
N-No, it's okay.
[07:05] Akane
It's time for Akane Sakurai's
"Attacking the School's Hottest!"
[07:08] Akane
Today's guest is Kokomi Shiina,
[07:09] Akane
a second-year student who's
expected to make high marks
[07:13] ---
in the upcoming fall rhythmic
gymnastics tournament.
[07:17] Kokomi
Hi there.
[07:18] Kokomi
Um...
[07:19] Akane
Yes?
[07:20] Kokomi
I didn't know we'd have such a big audience...
[07:23] Akane
That just shows how much they believe in you.
[07:26] Akane
Now then, Shiina-san,
[07:29] ---
what's your biggest concern right now?
[07:32] Nao
Hm?
[07:33] ---
Um...
[07:35] Kokomi
My wei—
[07:37] Kokomi
I-I mean, a way to do well in the tournament!
[07:41] Akane
I guess that's why you're
practicing so hard every day.
[07:45] Akane
I hear you worked hard this morning, too,
[07:48] Akane
but don't you get hungry during class
after practicing all morning?
[07:52] Kokomi
I don't!
[07:53] Akane
What? Aren't you starving by lunch time?
[07:58] Kokomi
N-Not at all...
[08:01] Akane
I see...
[08:02] Akane
But don't you ever crave your favorite foods?
[08:06] Akane
What do you like to eat?
[08:09] Kokomi
Melon buns.
[08:12] Kokomi
Um, these are the kinds of questions you ask?
[08:16] Akane
Yeah, we ask about people's hobbies,
their favorite music, movies...
[08:20] Akane
And when we can, their weight
and measurements, too!
[08:24] Akane
Just kidding.
[08:25] Kokomi
Weight and measurements....
[08:29] Akane
Hm? Shiina-san?
[08:31] Kokomi
I can't tell you that!
[08:39] Kokomi
I-I'm sorry...
[08:42] Akane
That was today's guest, Kokomi Shiina-san!
[08:47] Akane
Everyone, good luck in your
afternoon clubs and classes!
[08:52] Akane
See you. Bye-bye!
[08:55] Nodoka
Okay, that's a wrap.
[08:56] Nodoka
Good job!
[08:58] Kokomi
I'm sorry I wasn't able to help that much.
[09:02] Akane
Don't worry.
[09:03] Akane
It was pretty interesting, in several ways.
[09:07] Kokomi
It was?
[09:13] ---
I couldn't see a thing on the chalkboard.
[09:16] Kokomi
The tournament's almost here...
[09:19] Kokomi
I'm not going to be able to
focus on practice like this.
[09:23] Kokomi
I have to do something.

Everything We Know About Food Nutrition...
[09:44] Kokomi
Maybe this'll help.
[09:47] Kokomi
This doesn't seem quite right.
[09:51] Kokomi
I wonder if the school library
even has books about dieting...
[09:57] Fumio
Are you looking for something?
[10:00] Kokomi
Murakami-senpai!
[10:02] Fumio
I heard the radio show today.
[10:04] Fumio
It was pretty interesting.
[10:06] Kokomi
Th-Thank you.
[10:08] Fumio
Are you looking for a particular book?
[10:11] Kokomi
Oh... Well...
[10:13] Kokomi
How should I explain?
[10:16] Kokomi
I can't tell her I'm looking for
a book on dieting because
[10:19] ---
I've gained some weight and want to lose it...
[10:23] Fumio
Are you looking for home ec books?
[10:26] Kokomi
No, um...
[10:27] Kokomi
More like nutritional science.
[10:29] Fumio
Nutritional science?
[10:31] Fumio
Are you hoping to become a nutritionist?
[10:33] Kokomi
No, how should I put it...
[10:36] Kokomi
I'd like to know how the body
can efficiently burn calories...
[10:43] Fumio
So, something more scientific?
[10:46] Fumio
The science section is over there.
[10:49] Kokomi
No, that's not it...
[10:52] Chloe
"Burn it up, young people!" Right?
[10:57] Kokomi
Chloe-san...
[10:58] Chloe
You're burning it up right now, Kokomi-san!
[11:03] Chloe
Isn't that right?
[11:05] Kokomi
No, that's not really what I'm talking about...
[11:10] Chloe
Japanese teens are wonderful.
[11:13] Chloe
You really get into clubs and sports.
[11:15] Chloe
We don't have that in France.
[11:19] Chloe
You're also into anime.
[11:21] Chloe
We don't have that in France, either.
SIGN Burn (moe)
[11:24] Fumio
I don't think that's what she meant by burning...

[11:36] Kokomi
This topic is neither here nor there at this point...
[11:39] Chloe
What? No, we're right here.
[11:42] Chloe
I'm talking about what teens
are into right here and now.
[11:48] Chloe
You're only young once, you know, Kokomi-san!
[11:53] Nao
You want to go on a diet, right?
[11:55] Kokomi
Miyoshi-san.
[11:57] Chloe
A diet?
[11:58] Nao
I think Shiina-san is looking for a book on diets.
[12:05] Fumio
That's why you asked about nutritional science.
[12:07] Chloe
You're really into diets, Kokomi-san?
[12:11] Nao
Not that...
[12:14] Nao
She wants to burn fat more efficiently, so...
[12:18] Chloe
Why do Japanese girls all want to go on diets?!
[12:24] Fumio
Now, now...
[12:25] Chloe
But, why?!
[12:27] Chloe
I don't understand.
[12:29] Fumio
Now, now...
[12:30] Nao
Shiina-san, over here.
[12:31] ---
Hmph! Japanese girls just don't understand
the joys of being soft and squishy!
[12:38] Nao
This is the school library,
[12:42] Nao
so I don't think there are any
decent books on dieting, but...
[12:46] Nao
These girls' magazines do have
[12:49] Nao
specials on how girls can go about dieting.
[12:51] Kokomi
Um...
[12:52] Nao
Hm?
[12:54] Kokomi
How did you know that
I wanted to go on a diet?
[12:57] Nao
Well...
[12:59] Nao
The way you talked this morning,
[13:01] ---
and during your interview just now,
[13:03] Nao
just gave me a hunch.
[13:05] Nao
Your conversations with the older
girls just made it sound that way.
[13:08] Kokomi
I see.
[13:11] Nao
That said, I really envy you.
[13:14] Kokomi
Huh? Why?
[13:17] Nao
You're able to get along
with girls in other classes,
[13:19] ---
and even with upperclassmen.
[13:22] Nao
You know, like this morning, and even just now...
[13:26] Nao
Harumiya-san is from my class, right?
[13:28] Nao
But it looked like you talk
to her more than I do...
[13:32] Nao
You also seemed like you were pretty
close with the third-years just now.
[13:37] Kokomi
No...
[13:38] Kokomi
I don't think I'm really that close to them...
[13:42] Nao
You think so?
[13:43] Nao
I think you're doing much better than I am.
[13:47] Nao
I almost never talk to people
from other classes or grades.
[13:53] Nao
I mean, I'm not in any clubs.
[13:55] Kokomi
Your modeling work doesn't leave
much time for clubs, does it?
[13:59] Nao
Yeah...
[14:01] Nao
But, I get to do what I like,
[14:03] Nao
so I can't complain.
[14:09] Nao
Lunch is over.
[14:12] Nao
Let's get going.
[14:23] Chloe
I don't understand!
[14:26] Chloe
Why do Japanese girls care so much about dieting?
[14:31] Chloe
Why do they want to fight against
calories, as if they're the enemy?
[14:34] Fumio
I think you're exaggerating a little,
[14:37] Fumio
but it might be true that everyone
sometimes focuses on dieting too much.
[14:42] Chloe
Japan has the best chicken in the world,
[14:45] ---
your fried chicken!
[14:49] Fumio
The best chicken in the world?
[14:52] Chloe
Oui.
[14:53] ---
French people love chicken,
but it puts ours to blame!
[14:57] Fumio
That's "puts ours to shame."
[14:58] Chloe
But if everyone is afraid of calories,
[15:02] Chloe
then making good fried
chicken is futility exercise!
[15:05] Fumio
That's "an exercise in futility."
[15:08] Fumio
Girls want to go on diets because
that's how girls think.
[15:13] Fumio
They want to be prettier if they can.
[15:16] Chloe
Kokomi-san is plenty beautiful.
[15:20] Chloe
She doesn't need to go on a diet.
[15:23] Fumio
That might be true.
[15:25] Chloe
It is true!
[15:32] ---
Girl Friend BETA.
[15:36] Kokomi
A diet?
[15:38] Tsugumi
Yeah.
[15:39] Matsuri
You were worried about going on a diet, right?
[15:43] Kokomi
No...
[15:44] Kokomi
I don't know what you're talking about...
[15:52] Kokomi
I was.
[15:53] Both
I knew it!
[15:54] Kokomi
I'm sorry...
[15:56] Kokomi
I was too embarrassed to say anything.
[15:58] Tsugumi
It's nothing to be embarrassed about!
[16:00] Matsuri
I know how you feel, though.
[16:02] Matsuri
You don't want people to know you're
worried about your weight, right?
[16:06] Tsugumi
Well, dieting is a concern that
all girls have in common.
[16:11] Tsugumi
I think we should help each other out.
[16:15] Kokomi
Huh?
[16:16] Kokomi
Then, Kagami-san, Harumiya-san, you're also...
[16:20] Matsuri
Actually...
[16:21] Tsugumi
That's right.
[16:22] Tsugumi
So... Everyone!
[16:25] Rui
We're the exercise club for second-years,
the Diet Alliance... I guess?
[16:29] Tsugumi
We're fighting hard, too.
[16:31] Tsugumi
So you can fight along with us.
[16:35] Emi
Hey!
[16:37] Emi
Include me, too!
[16:39] Emi
You should have just asked us, Kokomi-chan!
[16:41] Kazuha
But, Sagara-san,
[16:42] ---
you're part of the street
performing society, right?
[16:45] Emi
Street performing is a sport, too!
[16:47] Rino
I think she just wants to be in the group.
[16:50] Emi
Well, that might be true.
[16:55] R
Honestly...
[16:55] R
Of course you can join.
[16:56] Kokomi
Okay!
[16:58] Kokomi
Let's all work hard!
[17:00] All
Yeah!
[17:04] Tsugumi
Hurry up.
[17:06] Tsugumi
Let's get going.
[17:08] Tsugumi
We're going to leave you behind.
[17:10] Emi
Wait for us!
[17:12] Emi
I can't keep up!
[17:22] Akane
Huh...
[17:24] Chloe
I still don't get it.
[17:26] Chloe
Japanese culture is confusing...
[17:29] Fumio
I don't think you need to
think about it that hard.
[17:32] R
23, 24, 25...
[17:35] ---
What's going on there?
[17:37] Fumio
Huh?
[17:42] Emi
I can't do any more...
[17:44] Rino
Wasn't street performing
supposed to be a real sport?
[17:48] Emi
It is, but you don't really
use your abdominal muscles.
[17:52] Emi
Probably.
[17:53] Kokomi
Sagara-san, you're almost there.
[17:56] Kokomi
Keep it up. Do it for your diet.
[18:00] Emi
Yeah...
[18:02] Emi
You're right.
[18:04] Emi
26...
[18:06] All
26...
[18:08] Fumio
They're...
[18:09] Chloe
I understand now, Fumio-san!
[18:11] Chloe
Dieting is proof of your friendship!
[18:14] Chloe
This is what being young is all about!
[18:17] Fumio
Yeah, I guess so.
[18:58] Tsugumi
I'm so tired.
[19:00] Matsuri
I've never pushed myself this hard before.
[19:03] Kokomi
But it kind of feels good to work
hard with everyone together.
[19:08] Rui
Yeah, it's kind of a nice exhaustion.
[19:11] Emi
I wonder if I lost any weight.
[19:13] Rino
I'm sure you did, after all that.
[19:18] Akane
Good work!
[19:21] Kokomi
Sakurai-san?
[19:22] Akane
The interview was worth it,
since it got the exercise club
[19:26] ---
to help you out, Shiina-san!
[19:28] Akane
I couldn't be happier!
[19:31] Kokomi
What are you talking about?
[19:32] Akane
Everyone wanted to help you train for
your upcoming tournament, right?
[19:37] Kokomi
Well...
[19:39] Akane
Here's a little something
[19:40] Akane
that everyone got for you after hearing today's
show and seeing your friendships in action.
[19:45] Akane
Here you go!
[19:47] ---
Bam!
[19:52] Akane
Now, I'm sure you're all
hungry after working out.
[19:55] Akane
Go on, eat up.
[20:06] Kokomi
I can't eat them...
[20:07] Kokomi
I can't eat them, I can't eat them...
[20:19] Kokomi
They're so good...
[20:20] Matsuri
I can't stop...
[20:22] Akane
How are they, Shiina-san?
[20:23] Kokomi
They're good...
[20:25] Akane
I see!
[20:26] Akane
So good, it makes you cry, huh?
[20:28] Akane
I'm so glad.
[20:30] Akane
There's plenty more, so eat up.
[20:36] Nao
Shiina-san.
[20:38] Nao
How's your diet going?
[20:41] Kokomi
Not well.
[20:43] Nao
I... I see.
[20:47] ---
I understand.
[20:49] Nao
So that's why it's not going well.
[20:52] Kokomi
Yeah.
[20:52] Nao
But maybe that's to be expected.
[20:55] Kokomi
Huh? Why?
[20:57] Nao
When you put on more muscle,
[20:58] Nao
of course your weight goes up.
[21:01] Nao
Muscle weighs three times as much as fat.
[21:04] Kokomi
Oh...
[21:06] Nao
Instead of putting on muscle,
[21:08] Nao
you'll need to make your body more flexible.
[21:12] Kokomi
Um, have you gone on
a diet before, Miyoshi-san?
[21:17] Nao
No,
[21:18] Nao
but I have to watch my figure
[21:21] ---
and weight without overdoing it.
[21:25] Kokomi
I see.
[21:26] Kokomi
You're a model, after all.
[21:29] Nao
Anyway, you can't put on too much muscle.
[21:32] Nao
To keep your proportions,
you need to build up your core.
[21:37] Kokomi
Okay.
[21:38] Nao
You should also try aerobic
exercise and half-body baths.
[21:42] Nao
You can't just starve yourself, either.
[21:45] Nao
You need have balanced meals,
[21:47] Nao
and make sure you don't get too many carbs.
[21:53] Kokomi
I had too many melon buns...
[21:55] Nao
If you can do that, you'll be fine.
[21:59] Nao
Good luck.
[22:01] Kokomi
Oh, um...
[22:03] Nao
What is it?
[22:04] Kokomi
Will you help me with my diet?
[22:08] Kokomi
If you'll teach me how to diet properly,
I'll feel more at ease,
[22:12] Kokomi
and I'll be able to focus on my tournament.
[22:15] Kokomi
Please?
[22:18] Nao
Sure.
[22:39] Tsugumi
Shiina-san, I heard you got past the prelims!
[22:42] Matsuri
Congratulations!
[22:44] Kokomi
Thank you.
[22:45] Rino
And your diet went well, too, right?
[22:48] All
What?!
[22:50] Kokomi
It's all thanks to Miyoshi-san's advice.
[22:52] Kokomi
I was able to focus on the
tournament because of her.
[22:55] Tsugumi
Way to go!
[22:57] Nao
Good morning...
[22:59] Kokomi
Good morning!
[23:04] Nao
What is it?
[23:06] ---
Please, Miyoshi-san!
[23:08] Matsuri
Please teach me how to diet properly, too!
[23:12] Tsugumi
Me, too!
[23:14] Emi
Same for me!
[23:16] Rino
I think we could all benefit from this.
[23:18] R
So teach me, too!
[23:20] ---
Eh? H-Huh?
[23:23] Erena
You're Nao-chan, right?
[23:26] Erena
You're really pretty.
[23:27] Erena
Could you teach me how to diet, too?
[23:31] Nao
Huh? Why did you...
[23:34] Chloe
It's so wonderful how diets
bring people together!
[23:38] Chloe
Scales grew on my eyes!
[23:40] Erena
Help me diet,
[23:42] Erena
and let me take some pictures
of you while we're at it!
[23:46] Chloe
Erena-san, you're trying
to take advantage of her.
[23:49] Erena
Oh, you figured me out?
[23:51] Matsuri
Miyoshi-san, please!
[23:53] Tsugumi
Please!
[23:56] Nao
Okay.
[23:57] Nao
Let's all work together.
[23:59] ---
All right!
[24:00] R
Yay!

My hobby is photography.

You're trying to do something bad again...
[24:16] Erena
Of course not!
[24:18] Kokomi
You've done it before, Mochizuki-san.
