[00:13] ---
    I know this cold voice
[00:17] ---
    Taking my friend
[00:22] ---
    Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
[00:26] ---
    But right now...
[00:30] ---
    For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
[00:35] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:39] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[00:44] ---
    I'll take off and break all the way
[00:49] ---
    For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
[00:53] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:58] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[01:02] ---
    I know I can change all the way
[01:07] ---
    For the moment...
[01:11] ---
    I just wanna hold you...
[01:30] ---
    "Something that Never Changes"
[01:39] ---
    Hello, Kugami residence.
[01:41] ---
    We're not home right now...
[01:42] ---
    so please leave a message after the beep.
[01:50] ---
    Kajika...
[01:52] ---
    I thought she'd be back soon.
[01:55] ---
    Maybe she's stuck in Hong Kong...
[01:58] ---
    [Excited chattering]
[02:07] ---
    Well, now what?
[02:17] ---
    Kajika's friend?
[02:19] ---
    You can have that one, I made copies.
[02:21] ---
    Cute girl, huh?
[02:24] ---
    That's my friend.
[02:26] ---
    Hm...
[02:28] ---
    She definitely has Asian features.
[02:31] ---
    But it doesn't fit, somehow...
[02:34] ---
    imagining you at school, I mean.
[02:38] ---
    Why?
[02:39] ---
    You go to school, too, don't you?
[02:42] ---
    You'd stick out way more than me.
[02:45] ---
    It's been in my notebook ever since...
[02:51] ---
    Seems like a perfect way to kill some time...
[02:56] ---
    Yui!
[02:57] ---
    If you don't hurry and get up, you'll be late!
[03:00] ---
    Yui!
[03:02] ---
    Don't blow your lungs out this early in the morning.
[03:05] ---
    It's so annoying...
[03:06] ---
    Why don't you wake her up yourself, then, Kota?
[03:09] ---
    No way. Big sis is in a bad mood lately.
[03:13] ---
    Think she's hanging out with weirdos?
[03:15] ---
    Oh, my!
[03:16] ---
    Wh--who's in trouble?!
[03:18] ---
    She's not in trouble yet.
[03:20] ---
    She will be soon.
[03:22] ---
    Our little girl's grown up enough for trouble!
[03:24] ---
    What are you so happy about?
[03:34] ---
    Kajika's been gone for two months now...
[03:37] ---
    Never mind coming back...
[03:39] ---
    I haven't even gotten a single letter.
[03:46] ---
    I guess she really must have...
[03:48] ---
    forgotten all about me...
[03:50] ---
    for sure.
[03:53] ---
    But back then Kajika was so very...
[04:02] ---
    Just an ordinary greeting!
[04:04] ---
    That's all it was... for sure.
[04:07] ---
    It must be an American thing...
[04:10] ---
    --Bye bye! Later!
    --See ya tomorrow!
[04:16] ---
    I give up...
[04:17] ---
    I can't tell any of them apart.
[04:20] ---
    Maybe it's the uniforms...
[04:22] ---
    but they all look like this girl.
[04:32] ---
    My horoscope for today was totally good.
[04:35] ---
    Oh, how cool!
[04:38] ---
    Lucky...
[04:39] ---
    Oh, look, it's Yui and the girls...
[04:41] ---
    Looks like I've been caught in the act...
[04:44] ---
    Friends of yours?
[04:47] ---
    These are my classmates...
[04:49] ---
    This is my boyfriend.
[04:51] ---
    He's gonna drive me home.
[04:52] ---
    Hey there.
[04:53] ---
    Boyfriend!?
[04:55] ---
    You can't tell anyone, it's a secret.
[04:57] ---
    In that case is it really a good idea to have him pick you up at school?
[05:02] ---
    I didn't ask him to come get me...
[05:04] ---
    Huh?
[05:05] ---
    Anyway, you're probably not ready...
[05:07] ---
    to understand the workings of the male-female bond...
[05:23] ---
    Yui Yamate?
[05:25] ---
    Y--yes...
[05:38] ---
    What the...
[05:39] ---
    Ultra-gorgeous foreigner! What is he doing here?!
[05:42] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[05:44] ---
    My name is Eugene De Volkan.
[05:46] ---
    I'm Kajika's fiancé.
[05:49] ---
    Kajika's fee-an-say...?
[05:52] ---
    ...fiancé!?
[05:54] ---
    Yes.
[05:57] ---
    If Kajika's fiancé knows who I am, then...
[06:01] ---
    that means Kajika...
[06:03] ---
    told him about me!?
[06:08] ---
    I'll give you a lift home.
[06:13] ---
    So cool...
[06:22] ---
    It's you and Kajika.
[06:26] ---
    This... this was taken when she came to my house!
[06:29] ---
    Dis iz mai home! "Mai home."
[06:32] ---
    Is this your house?
[06:34] ---
    Kajika only came over once, but...
[06:38] ---
    we went and picked her up...
[06:40] ---
    Eventually, it got dark, and she had to go home...
[06:44] ---
    but it was fun...
[06:50] ---
    Kajika...
[06:52] ---
    you haven't forgotten about me...
[06:58] ---
    I wanna visit your house.
[07:01] ---
    Wha-huh? Slow... please...
[07:04] ---
    I... wanna... visit...
[07:08] ---
    your house.
[07:09] ---
    Huh? ... My house!?
[07:12] ---
    Lee-Leng!
[07:14] ---
    There's a message from Mustafa on the answering machine!
[07:18] ---
    From Eugene?
[07:20] ---
    He says he's visiting Japan right now...
[07:22] ---
    so if it's convenient he'd like to meet up.
[07:25] ---
    He's in Japan?
[07:27] ---
    Yeah... he says he arrived this morning...
[07:28] ---
    and he's staying at the Emperor's Golden Screen Hotel.
[07:31] ---
    I'm going right now.
[07:34] ---
    Wait!
[07:35] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[07:36] ---
    ...until you make sure he's there right now, first of all.
[07:41] ---
    Also, I'm going with you.
[07:44] ---
    Fine.
[07:46] ---
    But, Lee-Leng...
[07:48] ---
    when it comes to Mustafa, you're such a baby.
[07:51] ---
    He seems so cool at first...
[07:53] ---
    but this side of him is so cute.
[07:59] ---
    I--I'll go check with the hotel!
[08:12] ---
    I'm home!
[08:16] ---
    Oh, you must be her mother.
[08:22] ---
     How beautiful.
[08:24] ---
    Mom!
[08:26] ---
     Ohh, sankyuu!
    Thank--you--for--taking--such--good--care--of--Yui.
[08:33] ---
    Mom, that was Japanese...
[08:36] ---
    Besides, I just met Eugene for the first time today.
[08:40] ---
    You might not remember Kajika...
[08:43] ---
    she only came over once...
[08:45] ---
    and had to leave before long.
[08:47] ---
    Ah, the extremely pretty girl?
[08:50] ---
    How could I forget?
[08:53] ---
    Right! This is "extremely pretty Kajika's" fiancé!
[08:57] ---
    Yes. Fiancé.
[09:02] ---
    Oh! My, my... at any rate, come in, come in.
[09:05] ---
    You'll catch cold.
[09:07] ---
    B--bath! Would you like a hot bath?
[09:09] ---
    Thank you, Ma'am.
[09:12] ---
    Mom...
[09:21] ---
    So this is a Japanese bath...
[09:31] ---
    Your father's yukata will be too short, but...
[09:35] ---
    it's only till his clothes are dry...
[09:37] ---
    Is Yuji out of the bathtub?
[09:39] ---
    Not yet, and it's not Yuji...
[09:41] ---
    it's Eugene, geez.
[09:43] ---
    [sigh] ...Foreign people's names are difficult.
[09:48] ---
    Here. Take this in.
[09:50] ---
    Show him how to wear the yukata.
[09:52] ---
    What!? No way! He's my friend's fiancé!
[09:55] ---
    You take it in!
[09:57] ---
    Really? Is it alright?
[09:59] ---
    I'm home!
[10:01] ---
    What's going on? Is someone here?
[10:03] ---
    Ah--
[10:05] ---
    Huh?
[10:10] ---
    It's so quiet...
[10:11] ---
    Kota?
[10:23] ---
    Yui... Ma'am...
[10:28] ---
    How do I look?
[10:33] ---
    Yuji, do you like sushi?
[10:36] ---
    It's Eugene, already! Geez!
[10:46] ---
    What a mismatch.
[10:52] ---
    He looks incredibly out of place.
[10:55] ---
    Yuji...
[10:56] ---
    I keep telling you, "Eugene!"
[10:59] ---
    I brought you some tea. Dinner will be just a little while longer...
[11:03] ---
    Pardon?
[11:11] ---
    Ah, I was so nervous...
[11:14] ---
    It's like there's a peacock in my room!
[11:19] ---
    Do you think I can take a picture?
[11:21] ---
    Wh--...
[11:22] ---
    Dummy! What are you thinking!
[11:25] ---
    But I've never seen someone so gorgeous in my life!
[11:29] ---
    Just look at him, then! Just look!
[11:34] ---
    Geez, who's there?
[11:36] ---
    At a busy time like this...
[11:39] ---
    Coming...
[11:40] ---
    Yui!
[11:43] ---
    Yui!
[11:46] ---
    Ka... jika?
[11:48] ---
    Remember me?
[11:54] ---
    How could I possibly forget?
[11:57] ---
    It's been a long time.
[11:59] ---
    When your foreign fiancé...
[12:02] ---
    knew who I was...
[12:04] ---
    it made me so very happy...
[12:07] ---
    So Mustafa did come here, then?
[12:10] ---
    Too late now.
[12:12] ---
    Is he upstairs?
[12:13] ---
    Ah--yes...
[12:15] ---
    Wasn't Mustafa her leopard's name?
[12:19] ---
    Oh, welcome!
[12:20] ---
    Thank you.
[12:23] ---
    Lovely as ever!
[12:25] ---
    So... so cute!
[12:28] ---
    Miss Kajika!
[12:31] ---
    Hi, I'm Kajika's bodyguard, Toranosuke Haga.
[12:35] ---
    Excuse me.
[12:37] ---
    I'm going too!
[12:39] ---
    He must be a friend, too.
[12:41] ---
    Sure... but a cute one!
[12:44] ---
    'Scuse me.
[12:48] ---
    The girl who barged in here a moment ago...
[12:52] ---
    I'm her guardian. My name is Lee-Leng Huang.
[12:55] ---
    May I come in?
[12:56] ---
    P--please...
[12:58] ---
    Miss Kajika, her fiancé, everyone's upstairs...
[13:02] ---
    Fiancé...
[13:03] ---
    Yes, the blond who looks like a model...
[13:06] ---
    A real stunner...
[13:08] ---
    No engagement has been settled yet.
[13:12] ---
    Excuse me.
[13:14] ---
    How did my big sis ever get involved with these people?
[13:17] ---
    It's like Obon and New Year's, all at once...
[13:22] ---
    Mustafa!
[13:23] ---
    Kajika?
[13:25] ---
    I missed you.
[13:27] ---
    You surprised me.
[13:28] ---
    Coming to Yui's house out of the blue!
[13:31] ---
    It's been very amusing.
[13:34] ---
    They're both so gorgeous... it's like a movie!
[13:37] ---
    When I checked with his hotel...
[13:40] ---
    they said that after Eugene checked in, he asked for directions to Ohfu Middle School.
[13:45] ---
    This wouldn't be it, by any chance?
[13:48] ---
    Ah, he met me at the front gate of the school.
[13:51] ---
    Since he has no common sense...
[13:53] ---
    he must've been a lot of trouble?
[13:55] ---
    No, not at all.
[13:58] ---
    Speak English, speak English.
[14:00] ---
    If I speak English, she won't understand.
[14:03] ---
    Well, what did you say to Yui?
[14:06] ---
    I'm not an interpreter.
[14:08] ---
    If you're going to wear a yukata, maybe you should pick up some Japanese.
[14:18] ---
    Those two are... on bad terms?
[14:20] ---
    Not at all... fighting every time they're together...
[14:24] ---
    means they're really close.
[14:26] ---
    --Really!
    
[14:26] ---
    --Really!
    --Really...?
[14:34] ---
    Thank you, come again!
[14:37] ---
    Counting your father there will be five men...
[14:41] ---
    you think maybe this isn't enough?
[14:43] ---
    How 'bout pizza?
[14:46] ---
    Maybe there's something else?
[14:48] ---
    Excuse me one moment...
[14:50] ---
    Oh...
[14:52] ---
    Bingo.
[14:54] ---
    Um...
[14:55] ---
    My companions have been such a bother to you...
[14:58] ---
    at least let me repay you for your kindness.
[15:08] ---
    So, this is a Japanese kitchen...
[15:11] ---
    Well now.
[15:12] ---
    Excellent...
[15:14] ---
    What is Lee-Leng trying to do?
[15:16] ---
    A dish from Beijing? I remember hearing he learned it from the Huang family chef.
[15:23] ---
    So to bring down an enemy...
[15:24] ---
    he starts by kissing up to the friend's mother.
[15:28] ---
    As usual...
[15:30] ---
    beating around the bush...
[15:32] ---
    Hmph.
[15:34] ---
    Enemy?
[15:35] ---
    Toranosuke, I need you to go shopping.
[15:38] ---
    Y--yes, sir!
[15:41] ---
    I'm so glad...
[15:42] ---
    you haven't changed, Yui.
[15:44] ---
    How've you been? Good?
[15:46] ---
    Yeah.
[15:48] ---
    I waited for a letter...
[15:51] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:53] ---
    I was going to write you, but...
[15:56] ---
    I didn't know...
[15:59] ---
    what I should write.
[16:00] ---
    Huh?
[16:01] ---
    But that doesn't matter, anything is fine.
[16:09] ---
    After you left...
[16:11] ---
    
    I found out that Burnsworth was incredibly rich...
[16:19] ---
    To be honest...
[16:20] ---
    when the letter didn't come, I thought it was hopeless.
[16:25] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[16:27] ---
    always threatened that...
[16:29] ---
    If I let the Burnsworth name get out...
[16:31] ---
    everyone would see my Dad behind me.
[16:35] ---
    He said from then on...
[16:36] ---
    I couldn't be seen as my own individual.
[16:44] ---
    I don't really get it.
[16:47] ---
    The feelings of people like that...
[16:51] ---
    are too much for someone who grew up on an empty island.
[16:55] ---
    What do you think, Yui?
[16:58] ---
    Do you look at me differently now?
[17:04] ---
    A little, I guess.
[17:10] ---
    But if your world ever...
[17:12] ---
    gets too alien...
[17:14] ---
    come back any time.
[17:17] ---
    --Really?
    --But...
[17:19] ---
    when it comes to huge buildings in Manhattan and private jets and stuff...
[17:23] ---
    it still doesn't seem real... it just sounds like a movie.
[17:29] ---
    Kajika is just Kajika.
[17:36] ---
    Thank goodness...
[17:38] ---
    I was really worried.
[17:40] ---
    About what?
[17:42] ---
    What I was going to do if you said...
[17:44] ---
    we couldn't hang out or be friends anymore.
[17:47] ---
    Kajika...
[17:50] ---
    That's why...
[17:51] ---
    I didn't write you.
[18:07] ---
    Hey, Kajika...
[18:09] ---
    Someday, are you and Eugene going to...
[18:11] ---
    I mean...
[18:13] ---
    Get married?
[18:14] ---
    I don't know yet.
[18:16] ---
    But he's your fiancé, right?
[18:19] ---
    I like Eugene, but...
[18:21] ---
    there are still other people I have to meet.
[18:24] ---
    When I meet them, then I'll decide.
[18:29] ---
    It really is just like a movie.
[18:40] ---
    Amazing! What else can I do to help?
[18:43] ---
    There's no need. Just go wash your face.
[18:48] ---
    Looks like you want to hog all the credit...
[18:51] ---
    I don't like accepting help with my work.
[18:54] ---
    The guy who travels with an underling...
[18:56] ---
    is pretending he's a lone wolf?
[18:58] ---
    What do you know about the world outside your prodigal son/gigolo act?
[19:02] ---
    A tough-talker with no experience is always jealous... it's pathetic.
[19:11] ---
    I'll go wash my face!
[19:17] ---
    I'm ho-ome!
[19:19] ---
    Hey, wait.
[19:21] ---
    Do we have guests?
[19:23] ---
    Welcome home.
[19:24] ---
    What are you doing? You're in your best clothes...
[19:28] ---
    Yui's friend is here...
[19:30] ---
    Friend?
[19:32] ---
    I'm ho-- ...ome.
[19:36] ---
    Welcome home.
[19:38] ---
    Thanks for having us.
[19:42] ---
    Wh--... welcome...
[19:45] ---
    What's happened in our house?
[19:48] ---
    I'm starving!
[19:50] ---
    Chow time!
[19:58] ---
    --Like this!
    --Like this...
[20:00] ---
    Your Beijing dish was the best!
[20:08] ---
    You don't have a fiancé, Yui?
[20:10] ---
    No way...
[20:11] ---
    Forget fiancé...
[20:13] ---
    she's never even brought a boyfriend home.
[20:16] ---
    Kota!
[20:18] ---
    Yui is a very charming girl.
[20:21] ---
    He says you're charming.
[20:26] ---
    Even a regular little girl like ours gives her parents plenty of anxiety.
[20:30] ---
    I can't begin to guess how many worries your father must have, Kajika.
[20:33] ---
    Truly...
[20:35] ---
    I've been told to watch out that she doesn't fall in with bad company.
[20:40] ---
    What did the coward next to you just say?
[20:44] ---
    He--I mean...
[20:45] ---
    I can hear you.
[20:49] ---
    I can't take any more...
[20:52] ---
    Fathers... aren't always good at telling their families how they feel.
[20:58] ---
    Kajika's father, too...
[21:00] ---
    He's a single father who wants his daughter to be happy.
[21:04] ---
    He wants you to understand the meaning behind his words...
[21:08] ---
    That's what a father wants...
[21:11] ---
    You've had too much to drink.
[21:12] ---
    
    The flowers' full blooming
     lasts just a short time
[21:16] ---
    At least that's what they say, all you young people.
[21:19] ---
    But if you even think about acting rashly...
[21:23] ---
    ...please don't.
[21:25] ---
    Dad!
[21:28] ---
    Thank you, Mr. Yamate.
[21:40] ---
    I'm so full!
[21:43] ---
    Your parents are wonderful...
[21:47] ---
    No way, when they got all excited I was so embarrassed!
[21:52] ---
    This is the kind of warm household you grew up in...
[21:56] ---
    Kajika...
[21:58] ---
    Even though I'm a Burnsworth...
[22:01] ---
    from now on, whatever happens...
[22:03] ---
    will you be my friend the same as always?
[22:07] ---
    Of course!
[22:11] ---
    Big sis, I'm taking the picture!
[22:18] ---
    Lee-Leng, just a touch further back... there!
[22:21] ---
    Yuji, move forward, just a little... Good! Stop!
[22:24] ---
    Hey, it's not Yuji, it's "Euzene!"
[22:27] ---
    Be quiet, already...
[22:34] ---
    Holy cow!
[22:35] ---
    They shine without the flash!
[22:37] ---
    They're all in full bloom...
[22:40] ---
    Hey, does my hair look weird?
[22:42] ---
    It's fine. What about me?
[22:44] ---
    You're always pretty.
[22:46] ---
    Right, taking the picture!
[23:01] ---
    I can't stand feeling this distance,
[23:09] ---
    So I'm starting to search for your heart.
[23:16] ---
    Because you were always at my side, protecting me.
[23:23] ---
    And I'm afraid of being alone.
[23:30] ---
    Though it's been a long time, everyone's just the same.
[23:37] ---
    Whether sleeping now, or crying, I want to see your smiling face.
[23:44] ---
    Because I will love you, with heart overflowing.
[23:52] ---
    Don't turn away, look at me. I believe in you.
[23:59] ---
    So, no one else knows our secret thoughts
[24:07] ---
    The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
[24:14] ---**
    In those arms, in that embrace, I'm alive.
