SIGN    No appointments now
[00:03] Reimi
    I guess we all managed to pass!
[00:06] Reimi
    Kana's more capable than she looks.
[00:10] Reimi
    What's so funny?
[00:12] Hibiki
    Oh, nothing!
SIGN    Voice Treatment Assistant's License
SIGN    Tokyo
SIGN    Kana Fujii
SIGN    Born May 26th, 2006
SIGN    Certifies that the holder of this certificate is a
SIGN    licensed Voice Treatment Assistant under the
SIGN    Vocal Medical Treatment Act
     (Law XXX est. 19XX).
[00:20] Reimi
    You're looking at it again?
[00:22] Hibiki
    You're going to stare a hole in it.
[00:24] Kana
    But I'm just so happy!
[00:26] Kana
    I can't believe I passed my provisional
    licensing exam on the first try!
[00:31] Kana
    That trip to the shrine was totally worth it!
[00:33] Kana
    I mean, things went so well,
    it was almost kind of scary!
[00:38] Kana
    The assigned song happened not to
    be the kind with a tough key change,
[00:41] Kana
    so I guess I've got luck on top of skill!
[00:43] Kana
    What will I do?
[00:44] Kana
    I'm in awe of my own talent!
[00:47] Hibiki
    Foreign scouts might come to recruit you.
[00:50] Kana
    Like I'm one of the world's
    top three healers?!
[00:54] Reimi
    What an airhead.
[00:55] Reimi
    You barely passed the
    pharmacology portion, remember?
[01:00] Reimi
    And on a real job, you might have
    to sing songs you find difficult.
[01:05] Kana
    Well...
[01:08] Kana
    I know that.
[01:09] Reimi
    W-Well, I didn't mean to be hurtful...
[01:12] kana
    Nevermind!
[01:13] kana
    That's a small step for mankind,
[01:16] kana
    but it's a giant leap for me!
[01:20] Hibiki
    Then we'd better train hard to try and
    get to that "giant leap for mankind" level!
[01:26] Reimi
    That's right!
[01:27] Reimi
    I'll put you through the ringer!
[01:29] Reimi
    Since you never know what'll
    happen in a medical setting!
[01:32] Hibiki
    There might be some really
    scary doctors out there!
[01:36] Reimi
    Time for training!
[01:37] Hibiki
    Nothing but training!
[01:38] Kana
    Geez, be plentle...
[01:40] Hibiki
    You're getting tongue-tied.
[01:42] Reimi
    We'll start with articulation.
[01:43] Shoko
    Oh, good morning.
[01:48] OP
    A gentle breeze carries your feelings to me
[01:59] OP
    so I feel like you're touching me
[02:06] OP
    I feel you, so I heal you
[02:12] OP
    I guess everyone must be connected
[02:18] OP
    That's why it feels like the sky
    deep in our hearts is blue and clear
[02:27] OP
    I sing because when the
    melody carrying my wishes
[02:34] OP
    and the words carrying my feelings reach you
[02:40] OP
    I want them to resonate in our joined hearts
[02:47] OP
    I'm sending healing harmony to you
[02:50] OP
    The music draws close to you
[03:05] OP
    Just like when I sing together
    with you... I feel you

[03:18] Kana
    We passed the vocal medical assistant exam,
[03:21] Kana
    in other words, the provisional license exam,
[03:24] Kana
    but we're still doing the
    same work we've always done.
[03:28] Kana
    Interacting with patients, checking
    them in, processing payment.
[03:32] Kana
    Sorting their charts and
    checking their prescriptions.
[03:34] Kana
    We even clean up after-hours,
    just like always!
[03:36] Yui
    What, really?
[03:39] Kana
    Although we can assist during treatment
    if Mistress gives permission.
[03:45] Kana
    Sort of like backup singers!
[03:46] Yui
    Really?
[03:48] Yui
    Oh, I should've said earlier...
[03:49] Yui
    Congratulations on passing
    your test, Kana-chan!
[03:51] Kana
    Thanks.
[03:53] Yui
    But it stinks that you got your license,
    and you can still only be a backup singer.
[03:58] Kana
    I-It really doesn't.
[04:00] Kana
    I mean, it's not like I'm
    an official healer yet!
[04:03] Kana
    And singing backup is plenty satisfying!
[04:07] Reimi
    Kana got to assist for the
    first time not long ago.
[04:15] Reimi
    She was so nervous, she totally blew it!
[04:17] Kana
    Y-You did too, Reimi-chan!
[04:23] (Flashback) Ria
    Itsushiro-san, that's too much.
[04:27] Kana
    Mistress had to warn you!
[04:28] Reimi
    I-I was just trying to calm my nerves by
    focusing on the song. I didn't mean to—
[04:34] Kana
    Sounds like Reimi-chan was nervous, too!
[04:38] Yui
    What about you, Hibiki-chan?
[04:39] Yui
    Did your first time go well?
[04:41] Hibiki
    Me?
[04:42] Hibiki
    I was definitely nervous,
    but I think I managed!
[04:45] Reimi
    No wonder you took first in the foot race!
[04:47] Kana
    The talented hawk hides its talons!
[04:49] Yui
    I want Hibiki-chan to treat me first!
[04:52] Hibiki
    Oh, no... I'm just more used to it,
[04:54] Hibiki
    because I've been training a little longer...
[04:56] Ria
    If you're all done messing around,
[04:59] Ria
    please return to the patients at once.
[05:01] Trio
    S-Sorry!
[05:12] Kana
    That's another day down.
[05:17] Kana
    One step!
[05:19] Reimi
    What was that?
[05:21] Kana
    Just felt like it!
[05:24] Hibiki
    One step!
[05:26] Reimi
    Not you too, Hibiki!
[05:28] Ria
    Girls, are you free on our day off next week?
[05:32] Reimi
    I am! What is it?
[05:34] Ria
    We have a job.
[05:36] Kana
    A job?
[05:37] Reimi
    Do you mean...
[05:38] trio
    Our first official job?!
[05:41] Ria
    It's a job you can do with a
     provisional license, of course.
[05:45] Ria
    Are you aware that they sometimes play music
    in the operating room during surgeries?
[05:51] Hibiki
    I do remember them playing music
[05:53] Hibiki
    when my father was having his appendix out.
[05:56] Ria
    That's right.
[05:58] Ria
    It helps to steady the nerves
    of the operating surgeon.
[06:03] Ria
    Your job will be to sing
    in place of that music.
[06:10] Ria
    Work together to relax the surgeon.
[06:15] Reimi
    Is there a reason why they want to use
    healers instead of recorded music?
[06:19] Ria
    It's a bit like a cross-industry exchange.
[06:21] Ria
    I'm sometimes called in to do it, too.
[06:24] Ria
    It seems this hospital is rather
    interested in voice treatment.
[06:27] Ria
    That said, it will be a surgical procedure...
[06:29] Ria
    Do any of you have a problem with seeing blood?
[06:35] Ria
    Perhaps we should watch some surgical
    training videos to prepare you.
[06:45] Kana
    No way! No way! No way!
[06:45] Reimi
    Blood! Blood! Blood!
[06:48] Kana
    So much red!
[06:50] Hibiki
    I feel ill!
[06:52] ria
    What do you think? Should I turn the job down?
[06:57] Kana
    No! We'll do it!
[06:59] Kana
    Please, let us do it!
[07:01] Kana
    Reimi-chan, Hibiki-chan!
[07:03] Reimi
    I know, I know!
[07:04] Reimi
    I'll deal with the blood—
[07:05] Kana
    It's time for training!
[07:08] Reimi
    What?
[07:12] Reimi
    Splatter films?
[07:16] Kana
    Great idea, right?
[07:17] Kana
    I borrowed them from Shoko-san!
[07:19] Kana
    If we can get through all
    of them, we should be ready!
[07:22] Reimi
    You're shaking like a leaf.
[07:24] ManA
    Let me out!
[07:25] WomanA
    Help us!
[07:26] Hibiki
    Maybe I'll make us some dinner!
[07:29] Reimi
    You're not going anywhere!
[07:31] ManB
    Please, no!
[07:33] Hibiki
    It's training, remember?!
    We have to get used to it!
[07:42] Ria
    I'll take you to wonderful places.
[07:46] Shoko
    I can't wait.
[07:48] Shoko
    How'd it go?
[07:50] Shoko
    Did you enjoy Shoko-oneesan's carefully
    curated splatter movie selection?!
[07:55] Shoko
    All right!
[07:56] Shoko
    Looks like it had an effect!
[07:58] Reimi
    Whenever I closed my eyes to sleep,
    the scariest scenes replayed in my mind...
[08:01] Shoko
    Yeah, that happens!
[08:06] Shoko
    You'll be ready for anything now!
[08:09] Shoko
    I've got a part two prepared.
[08:11] Shoko
    Well? Wanna watch?
[08:16] Reimi
    Well?
[08:17] Reimi
    What's the part you're having trouble with?
[08:19] Kana
    Well...
[08:20] Kana
    I'm a little nervous about the second page.
[08:22] Hibiki
    In that case,
[08:24] Hibiki
    Reimi-chan and I will handle that!
[08:26] Reimi
    Yeah, since it's all so last-minute.
[08:29] Reimi
    We'll practice so that you can
    handle it next time, though.
[08:31] Kana
    Right!
[08:31] Kana
    Thanks!
[08:33] Kana
    Night. See you guys tomorrow.
[08:43] Kana
    "On a real job, you might have to
    sing songs you find difficult."
[08:52] Kana
    That really is true...
[09:01] Ria
    I'm Ria Karasuma from
    Karasuma Phoniatric Clinic.
[09:05] Ria
    I'm here to see Dr. Ando in
    the department of surgery.
[09:08] Receptionist
    Yes, ma'am. I'll place the call.
[09:11] Receptionist
    Wait just a moment.
[09:13] Kana
    They rebuilt it...
[09:15] Reimi
    What do you mean?
[09:17] Kana
    Oh... nothing.
[09:19] Kana
    Having my first job sure makes me nervous!
[09:22] Hibiki
    Just relax, Kana-chan!
[09:25] Reimi
    You're brimming with energy, Hibiki.
[09:27] Shoko
    You watched a little horror
    yesterday too, didn't you?
[09:30] Kana
    You did, Hibiki-chan?
[09:32] Hibiki
    When you really watch them, you learn
    there's more to them than scares!
[09:34] Hibiki
    There was this one series with
    a really amazing message!
[09:37] Hibiki
    The protagonist is a serial killer who—
[09:38] Ria
    Time to go, everyone.
[09:40] Kana
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:41] Reimi
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:43] Hibiki
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:51] Ria
    The person in charge,
    Dr. Ando, is a very strict person.
[09:56] Ria
    I want you all on your best behavior.
[09:59] Doctor
    You expect me to put up with this
    provisional license garbage?!
[10:05] Mizore
    There you are!
[10:06] Ria
    It really has been a while!
[10:08] Shoko
    Hey, there!
[10:09] Mizore
    So these are your apprentices, Ria-san?
[10:12] Mizore
    A pleasure to meet you.
[10:13] Mizore
    I'm Mizore Ando, surgeon at
    Kanhoku University Hospital.
[10:18] Reimi/Hibiki
    A pleasu—
[10:19] kana
    It's such a pleasure to meet you!
[10:20] kana
    My name is Kana Fujii!
[10:22] kana
    Please forgive my tremendous deficiencies!
[10:27] Mizore
    Ria!
[10:33] Mizore
    I'm researching potential
    compatibilities and collaborations
[10:36] Mizore
    between surgery and vocal treatment.
[10:39] Mizore
    For example, its ability to reduce stress
    on the practitioners,
[10:41] Mizore
    and shorten the length of surgeries
    and patient convalescence time.
[10:47] Ria
    Are you still getting resistance
    in your department?
[10:49] Mizore
    You bet I am.
[10:51] Mizore
    But don't worry about it.
[10:53] Mizore
    Once I show them my results,
    they'll have to fold eventually.
[10:55] Mizore
    I'm going to use as much of
    your vocal treatment as I can.
[10:58] Shoko
    You haven't changed, Mizore.
[11:01] Kana
    Excuse me...
[11:02] Shoko
    Yes?
[11:03] Kana
    May I ask how you three know each other?
[11:06] Kana
    You seem extremely well acquainted...
[11:10] Ria
    Shoko, Mizore, and I all went
     to college together.
[11:14] Shoko
    Of course, I was in the
    pharmacology department.
[11:17] Mizore
    Ria was a thorn in the
    medical department's side.
[11:20] Mizore
    She got amazing grades, and her
    surgical skills were top of the class.
[11:23] Mizore
    The instructors conspired
    to get into our department.
[11:30] Mizore
    But the minute she got her license,
    she went right into vocal treatment!
[11:34] Mizore
    Adulteress!
[11:36] Ria
    Adultery was the turning
    point to my true calling.
[11:41] Mizore
    These are the vocal treatment assistants
    from the Karasuma Phoniatric Clinic:
[11:46] Mizore
    Kana Fujii,
[11:48] Mizore
    Reimi Itsushiro,
[11:49] Mizore
    and Hibiki Morishima.
[11:51] trio
    Thanks for having us!
[11:57] Mizore
    As you know, I am Mizore Ando
    of the surgical department,
[12:00] ---
    and I'll be supervising this procedure.
[12:02] Mizore
    My first assistant is Shiro Kitazato.
[12:04] Mizore
    He frequently acts as team leader,
[12:07] Mizore
    but I'm having him in a support role today.
[12:10] Kitazato
    A pleasure.
[12:11] Trio
    It's a pleasure to work with you!
[12:14] Mizore
    And today's operating surgeon, Kenji Nibeyama.
[12:17] Trio
    It's a pleasure to work with you!
[12:20] Nibeyama
    I agreed to this as a favor to Dr. Kitazato,
[12:24] Nibeyama
    but I don't need any support
    from vocal treatment.
[12:29] Kitazato
    Dr. Nibeyama...
[12:31] Nibeyama
    It's true that it's my first operation.
[12:33] Nibeyama
    But I've been an assistant plenty of times,
[12:36] Nibeyama
    and I've done simulations.
[12:38] Nibeyama
    I can handle this in the usual way!
[12:45] Mizore
    I'm sorry.
[12:46] Mizore
    I talked to him about this in advance, but...
[12:48] ria
    It'll be fine!
[12:50] ria
    I'm sure he'll change his
    mind when he hears you sing.
[12:55] ria
    Show him what your song can do!
[12:59] Trio
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:17] Nibeyama
    All right.
[13:20] Nibeyama
    I'm starting the operation now.
[13:23] Nibeyama
    Let's all do our best here.
[13:24] All
    Let's all do our best!
[13:29] Trio
    Think of the most precious thing in your life
[13:35] Trio
    See the color that it shines
[13:39] Nibeyama
    Scalpel.
[13:39] Nurse C
    Doctor.
[13:53] Trio
    Think of the most precious thing in your life
[13:59] Trio
    See the color that it shines
[14:05] Trio
    There's a tenderness in
    your eyes as you take it in
[14:09] Kitazato
    You're keeping very calm. Well done.
[14:11] Nibeyama
    Of course I am.
[14:15] Mizore
    Is that the healing at work?
[14:15] Mizore
    Let your touch be just as gentle
[14:21] Mizore
    Trust in your journey from
    past through to present
[14:33] Mizore
    I'm telling you
[14:39] Mizore
    The courage that you've found
[14:46] Mizore
    through tremendous strength of will
[14:52] Mizore
    will open the door to tomorrow
[15:00] Mizore
    To the future!
[15:13] Kana
    I've never sung for this long before.
[15:16] Kana
    I didn't know healers did
    this kind of thing, too.
[15:21] Kana
    All right!
[15:22] Kana
    I'll keep going to the end!
[15:24] Trio
    Everyone has a precious thing in their life
[15:31] Trio
    and all can be linked together
[15:36] Mizore
    It's going according to schedule.
[15:36] Trio
    with a confidence wrought
    of a lifetime, well-earned
[15:38] Shoko
    I guess he's not all talk, is he?
[15:40] Ria
    That means the girls'
    voices will hold out, too.
[15:44] Mizore
    Now he just has to make the excision.
[15:46] Trio
    lighting the way
[15:48] Nibeyama
    Excision complete.
[15:53] Trio
    I'll set out a signal fire
    to illuminate the path
[15:54] Kitazato
    Now I'll clean the area. Suction.
[15:55] Nurse
    Doctor.
[15:57] Kitazato
    Look at this!
[15:57] Trio
    I'll take your hand and guide you along
[16:00] Nibeyama
    The lesion spread that far?
[16:02] Kitazato
    It's on the organ's underside.
[16:04] Kitazato
    No wonder the tests didn't pick it up!
[16:04] Trio
    Because there's still
    such a long way to go...
[16:08] Nibeyama
    I'll excise it.
[16:09] Nibeyama
    If we put it off, it'll be too late!
[16:11] Kitazato
    Wait! Let me take over!
[16:18] Kitazato
    He's bleeding! I need suction!
[16:19] Mizore
    I'm going in!
[16:20] Ria
    I'll help!
[16:21] Kitazato
    It was adhered to the lesion.
[16:23] Kitazato
    It wore down the blood vessel's wall.
[16:25] Nurse C
    Blood pressure falling!
[16:26] Nurse C
    Heart rate is down, too!
[16:28] Kitazato
    Begin intraoperative blood salvage!
[16:30] Nurse A
    Yes, sir!
[16:30] Kitazato
    Prepare for blood vessel suture!
[16:32] Nibeyama
    Y-Yes, sir!
[16:33] Kitazato
    Gauze! Transfusion!
[16:34] Kitazato
    I can't see the site of the bleeding.
[16:35] Kitazato
    Vacuum!
[16:36] Nurse C
    Blood pressure still falling! He's critical!
[16:38] Kitazato
    He needs more blood!
[16:39] Kitazato
    More vacuum!
[16:47] Hibiki
    Wh-What do we do?
[16:48] Reimi
    We sing.
[16:50] Reimi
    We have to calm everyone down.
[16:51] Reimi
    Let's start from the top!
[16:53] Hibiki
    From the top?
[16:54] Hibiki
    But my voice is exhausted!
[16:56] Reimi
    It's all right. Kana's isn't!
[17:02] Reimi
    We sang the part you couldn't handle.
[17:05] Reimi
    Our voices are worn out as a result.
[17:08] Reimi
    But I know you can do this, Kana!
[17:20] Kana
    I'll sing!
[17:23] Kana
    I'll calm the surgical team.
[17:25] Kana
    You two help the patient!
[17:27] Hibiki
    The patient?
[17:28] Kana
    Mistress was able to sing to both
    the pregnant lady and her baby.
[17:32] Kana
    The three of us can do the same thing!
[17:35] Kana
    You should be able to sing the
    part in the patient song's range!
[17:38] Reimi
    You bet we can.
[17:49] Trio
    I'm trusting you
[17:55] Trio
    The courage that you've found
[18:02] Trio
    through tremendous strength of will
[18:08] Trio
    will last long into tomorrow
[18:18] Kana
    The door of hope, as brilliant as blue sky...
[18:18] Reimi/Hibiki
    They're waiting for you,
    as brilliant as blue sky...
[18:30] Reimi/Hibiki
    the smiles of the people who care about you
[18:31] Kana
    reach for it, and open it
[18:37] Reimi/Hibiki
    saying, "I want to be with you."
[18:43] Trio
    Let the light of life continue
[18:51] Nurse C
    Blood pressure and pulse
    have stabilized! Values normal!
[18:54] Trio
    into the future
[18:54] Kitazato
    Dr. Nibeyama...
[18:56] Nibeyama
    Yes, I'm all right.
[19:02] Nibeyama
    Suturing complete.
[19:14] Nibeyama
    The surgery is over.
[19:20] Kana
    Thank goodness!
[19:22] Kana
    We managed to sing the whole thing!
[19:24] Kana
    Sorry to ask so much of you guys.
[19:26] Reimi
    Easily done!
[19:27] Reimi
    I'm Mistress's star pupil, after all!
[19:30] Kana
    Star pupil?
[19:31] Mizore
    It appears they didn't need us after all.
[19:31] Hibiki
    I wonder there...
[19:34] Ria
    Indeed.
[19:35] Reimi
    Of course, you did pretty well, too!
[19:41] Kana
    Are you okay?
[19:43] Reimi
    Just a tickle in my throat...
[19:54] Mizore
    Thank you.
[19:55] Mizore
    You were a big help today.
[19:57] Mizore
    We got good data,
[19:59] Mizore
    and the nurses and doctors
    had only nice things to say.
[20:01] Mizore
    They said you were amazing healers!
[20:04] Ria
    Your judgment in there was excellent.
[20:05] Ria
    I'm very satisfied with you.
[20:08] Mizore
    That's the Ria seal of approval!
[20:10] Mizore
    When you get your full
    healer licenses, come work for me!
[20:14] Ria
    Are you trying to steal them
    right out from under my nose?
[20:16] Mizore
    A little adultery never hurt anyone!
[20:22] Ria
    Is everyone buckled in?
[20:24] Trio
    Yes!
[20:36] Nibeyama
    Thank you.
[20:43] Ria
    Well, shall we head home?
[20:57] ED
    I realize now that everyone's
    heart has something in common
[21:08] ED
    The truth is, I can even
    feel that pain of yours
[21:18] ED
    I know the warmth of your hand on mine
[21:29] ED
    So I try to find something even I can do
[21:38] ED
    (We believe it like singing)
[21:40] ED
    I embrace my one tiny chance
[21:45] ED
    And the kindness of your wish
    to one day be by my side forever
[21:51] ED
    I can hear a precious voice saying,
    "Don't forget" (please remember)
[21:56] ED
    I want you to wish for a miracle just once
[22:03] ED
    (So we always sing a song of wish
[22:09] ED
    Our hearts are gazing at each other)
[22:16] Kana
    Boy, that was touch-and-go, huh?
[22:19] Kana
    I'm just relieved it turned out okay!
[22:21] Reimi
    Well, well.
[22:22] Reimi
    One of the future world's three top healers
[22:24] Reimi
    is going to make a big deal
    out of that little thing?
[22:26] Kana
    Oh, no!
[22:26] Kana
    I think the step we took today
[22:28] Kana
    was a very, very big one!
[22:29] Hibiki
    A big step we took together!
[22:32] Kana
    Yes!
[22:33] Kana
    I guess the other top two healers
[22:35] Kana
    will be Hibiki-chan and Reimi-chan!
[22:37] Reimi
    What?!
[22:37] Hibiki
    I agree!
[22:38] Reimi
    I'm not sure I like the idea of
    surpassing Mistress like that...
[22:42] Hibiki
    Ria-san's in a class by herself.
[22:44] Kana
    Like a glass by herself?
[22:46] Reimi
    No, she's the main dish!
[23:01] Kana
    Reimi-chan, thank you.
[23:04] Kana
    I couldn't have sung the hard
    part if you hadn't pushed me.
[23:08] Kana
    I'm so grateful!
[23:19] Reimi
    One step!

    Song 5
     "Blue Skies, Green Mountains, River Battles and the Galaxy Station"
[23:25] Hibiki
    C'mon, guys! The watermelon's nice and cool!
[23:28] Shoko
    Now's your chance! Make your appeal!
[23:30] Hibiki
    Why not say it? It seems like the right time.
[23:32] Reimi
    They call me Mermaid Reimi!
[23:35] Kana
    That was the moment I decided
    I wanted to become a healer!
