**[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.
