Nako, have you decided what you're going to do?

Yes, but I don't think I can get

Did you like Miss CoCo's dancing that much?

Oh, um, actually, my big sister—

My older sister... I have a plush doll
she bought for me.
**[16:13] Hiwa**
That doll suddenly started
talking to me the other day...
**[16:22] Hiwa**
*Huh?*
**[16:26] Nazuna**
We got a strange one this year, didn't we?
**[16:30] Hiwa**
Oh, um, I think maybe I was dreaming—
**[16:34] Ayame**
Our dream is for you all to become
full-fledged dancers as soon as possible.
**[16:39] Nazuna**
Yeah, do your best! Even the strange one.
**[16:48] Ranko**
About those dancers earlier...
**[16:50] Hiwa**
Puala? Ka Pilina?
**[16:53] Kanna**
When they become soloists,
**[16:54] Kanna**
they get Hawaiian names
as part of their stage names.
**[16:58] 'Ohana**
"Ka Pilina" means "bonds."
**[16:59] 'Ohana**
"Puala" means "flowers of the sun," meow.

Sunflowers...
**[17:14] Hiwa**
"Puala"...
**[17:16] Hiwa**
It's the name my sister had.
**[17:21] Hiwa**
She started at the same time my sister did.
**[17:24] Hiwa**
I wonder if she took over my sister's name.
**[17:36] Hiwa**
It's your fault that they
called me "strange one."

Sorry I'm late!
**[26:12] Ayame**
If this were a performance, what would you do?
**[26:19] Ayame**
If you didn't finish getting ready in time
and were late getting on stage,
**[26:23] Ayame**
could that be solved just by apologizing?
**[26:28] Ayame**
Can someone who can't manage her own life
**[26:31] Ayame**
stand on stage to perform
every day in the future?
**[26:34] Ayame**
In the summer, the stage
can be up to forty degrees Celsius.
**[26:37] Ayame**
In the winter, there's a big difference
between indoor and outdoor temperatures.
**[26:40] Ayame**
In that environment,
**[26:42] Ayame**
everyone performs about 300 times a year.
**[26:47] Ayame**
Dancing is our job.
**[26:50] Ayame**
Make sure you understand that.
**[26:55] Makana**
Puala Ayame will be supervising
rehearsals for your first performance.
**[27:00] Ayame**
We'll be running through the whole routine.
**[27:02] Ayame**
Make sure your body can do
the choreography without thinking
**[27:05] Ayame**
and use your eyes, ears, head,
and whole body to the best of your ability.
**[27:11] Ayame**
Okay, let's start!
**[27:13] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[27:16] Makana**
One, two, three, four.
**[27:30] Makana**
One, two, three, four.
**[27:38] Ayame**
Make sure you look at your fingertips!
**[27:40] Ayame**
You need to pay attention
to the details when you dance!
**[27:46] Ayame**
All your dancing is too cheerful!
**[27:48] Ayame**
There are places where
you should be more serene, too.
**[27:51] Ayame**
You're dancing too independently.
Match what the others are doing!
**[27:56] Ayame**
Smile!
**[27:57] Ayame**
You just need to smile!
**[28:01] Ayame**
Your steps, hips, hand motions, and posture!
**[28:04] Ayame**
They're all too stiff!
**[28:06] Ayame**
Dance properly!
**[29:32] Hiwa**
I can't dance properly.
**[29:34] Hiwa**
I can't.
**[29:36] Hiwa**

Ran-Ran said there was

**[30:18] Hiwa**
Oh, sorry. I was trying to save energy...
**[30:22] Ranko**
You could've told us
you were going to practice.
**[30:25] 'Ohana**
We still have a lot we need to work on, too!
**[30:29] Hiwa**
But not as much as I do.
**[30:33] Hiwa**
You've all done hula for so long...
**[30:35] Ayame**
Instead of talking about it,
**[30:36] Ayame**
using the time to practice
will help you improve faster, right?
**[30:41] Ayame**
I heard from your manager, Taira,
**[30:44] Ayame**
that someone's been practicing
late every night recently.
**[30:48] Ayame**

**[46:04] Suzukake**
we can change the hot springs
water in just three hours.
**[46:08] Suzukake**

because they don't need them anymore.
**[46:30] Suzukake**
It's actually a lot of work

**[46:33] Hiwa**

**[46:36] Suzukake**
That's right.
**[46:37] Suzukake**

At the time, I'd only been
working here three years,
**[47:12] Suzukake**
and I thought, "Oh, we're going to
have to shut this place down now."
**[47:18] Suzukake**
The dancers couldn't use the stage,
**[47:21] Suzukake**
so they did a national tour.
**[47:23] Suzukake**
For six months, they went from Aomori
in the north to Miyazaki in the south,
**[47:28] Suzukake**
performing 247 shows in 125 places.
**[47:32] Suzukake**
Apparently, it was the first time
they left their own stage to perform.
**[47:38] Suzukake**
But thanks to that,
**[47:40] Suzukake**
when we reopened, we had people
come from all over the country.
**[47:44] Suzukake**
Prospective dancers who wanted to dance here
**[47:46] Suzukake**
also started applying
from all over the country.
**[47:53] Suzukake**
Oh, right.
**[47:55] Suzukake**
I was going to give this back
if I saw you again.
**[48:07] Suzukake**
You can overcome this.
**[48:10] Suzukake**

**[49:41] Shion**
She still has a long way to go
in terms of dance technique,
**[49:44] Shion**
but her dancing is spirited
and leaves an impression.
**[49:46] Shion**
Even after the performance,
she smiles as she interacts with the audience.
**[49:50] Shion**
When she's with the other employees, too.
**[49:55] Shion**
I got good marks for my dancing,
**[49:58] Shion**
but I was second from the bottom.

**[52:59] Ranko**
Yeah, go ahead.
**[53:00] Ranko**
We'll perform today by ourselves.
**[53:06] 'Ohana**
Sorry, I'm fine. I'll dance!

Are you all right?
**[54:01] Kanna**
Family, huh?
**[54:19] Kanna**
Ch-Cheer up, meow!
**[54:23] Manager Taira**
Huh?
**[54:24] Kanna**
If you cry, you'll ruin your makeup, meow!
**[54:31] Kanna**
Besides, your ohana is right here, meow.
**[54:37] Kanna**
"'Ohana" means "family" in Hawaiian, right?
**[54:41] Kanna**
But ohana isn't just your real family.
It also includes your friends.
**[54:50] Kanna**
What? I've been dancing hula
for a long time, too!
**[54:53] Kanna**
I know a lot of Hawaiian words!
**[54:56] 'Ohana**
No, I was surprised you used
"meow" three times in a row.
**[55:00] Kanna**
Surprised about *that*?
**[55:01] 'Ohana**
Yeah! Now, Kan-Kan is my ohana, too, meow!
**[55:05] Kanna**
I take it back! Stop saying that!
**[55:08] Manager Taira**
You've all got great smiles now.
**[55:10] Manager Taira**
Let's use those to make the
audience roar with laughter!
**[55:14] Kanna**
We're not a comedy troupe.
**[55:17] Manager Taira**
You're right.
**[55:19] MC**
Next, these girls debuted just this year!
**[55:22] MC**
Please watch the fresh
dancing of these new dancers!

**[57:19] Kanna**
Yes, ma'am!
**[57:21] Ayame**
Your movements and expression
have gotten softer.
**[57:25] Ayame**
Takigawa.
**[57:26] Ranko**
Yes, ma'am!
**[57:26] Ayame**
You've gotten a lot more expressive.
**[57:29] Ayame**
'Ohana.
**[57:30] 'Ohana**
Yes, ma'am!
**[57:31] Ayame**
It looks like you can dance
more sensitively now.
**[57:34] 'Ohana**
Thanks...
**[57:35] Ayame**
Shirosawa.
**[57:36] Shion**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[57:37] Ayame**
Your Miss CoCo was fun.
**[57:40] Ayame**
Next time, show us your own smiling face.
**[57:48] Ayame**

**[57:49] Hiwa**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[57:50] Ayame**
I can't give you a passing grade yet.
**[58:00] Ayame**
But...
**[58:03] Ayame**
You put your all into your earnest dancing,
**[58:07] Ayame**
and watching you made me smile.
**[58:14] Nazuna**
You were all really good!
**[58:18] Suzukake**
Hey!
**[58:21] Ayame**
We'll be right there!
**[58:25] Ayame**
This is Suzukake from maintenance.
**[58:26] Ayame**
He gave us a ride.
**[58:28] Ayame**
Well, see you tomorrow!
**[58:33] Ayame**
Now, let's go drinking!
**[58:36] Suzukake**
Are you dragging me along with you again?
**[58:43] 'Ohana**
Hiwa-Hiwa!
**[58:45] Ranko**
They said they'd let us
visit the aquarium before it closes!
**[58:48] Kanna**

**[1:01:33] 'Ohana**
But it was pretty good for a first road trip!
**[1:01:36] 'Ohana**
Everyone's alive!
**[1:01:37] Kanna**
I think I'm going to get that insurance
policy they were selling at work.
**[1:02:01] Shion**
So this is the spot
you wanted to show us, Hiwa?
**[1:02:04] Hiwa**
Yeah.
**[1:02:05] Hiwa**
I wanted to bring you all here
once I got my license.
**[1:02:09] Shion**
I see.
**[1:02:10] 'Ohana**
I wanna go on!
**[1:02:13] 'Ohana**
Kan-Kan, push me!
**[1:02:15] Kanna**
Don't fall off.
**[1:02:24] 'Ohana**
Kan-Kan, push harder!
**[1:02:26] Kanna**
Hey, stop moving around!
**[1:02:33] 'Ohana**
Harder, harder!
**[1:03:43] Hiwa's Mom**
I fried some frozen rice cakes, too.
**[1:03:45] Kanna**
Frozen rice cakes?
**[1:03:46] Hiwa's Mom**
You take rice cakes, soak them
in water, freeze them,
**[1:03:49] Hiwa's Mom**
and then put them out in the cold wind.
**[1:03:51] 'Ohana**
The rice cakes withstand harsh conditions
and become more delicious, right, meow?
**[1:03:55] Hiwa's Mom**
Now, eat up!
**[1:03:57] All**
Thanks for the food!
**[1:04:05] Ranko**
Huh? You're putting mayo on?
**[1:04:07] Hiwa**
What? You don't?
**[1:04:08] Shion**
We put mayo on everything.
**[1:04:10] Ranko**
So many calories!
**[1:04:14] Hiwa's Mom**
You can leave those there.
**[1:04:16] Kanna**
Okay.
**[1:04:17] 'Ohana**
It's been a while since
I had a home-cooked meal.
**[1:04:19] 'Ohana**
It was so yummy!
**[1:04:20] Ranko**
You're not going back to Hawaii?
**[1:04:22] 'Ohana**
I'll ask for some time off
in the spring to go home.
**[1:04:24] Ranko**
Oh, I will, too!
**[1:04:26] 'Ohana**
What about you, Kan-Kan?
**[1:04:28] Kanna**
I'm not going home until I become a soloist.
**[1:04:31] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[1:04:32] Kanna**
My parents were against me becoming a dancer.
**[1:04:34] Kanna**
They wanted me to go to college. That's why.
**[1:04:37] 'Ohana**
Kan-Kan, you can totally
become a soloist, meow!
**[1:04:40] Shion**
I hope I can become one, too.
**[1:04:43] Shion**
Because I love dancing,
I hope I can become one someday...
**[1:04:47] Shion**
I want to be the madame of
a hot springs inn and keep on dancing forever!

**[1:05:08] Hiwa**
I'd go!
**[1:05:13] Hiwa's Mom**
You won't spend the night?
**[1:05:15] Hiwa**
No, we've got a performance tomorrow.
**[1:05:18] Hiwa's Dad**
You're working hard, huh?
**[1:05:22] Hiwa**
I've been able to work hard
**[1:05:25] Hiwa**
thanks to my friends.
**[1:05:27] Hiwa**
And my senpais.
**[1:05:48] Suzukake**
Good work today.
**[1:05:50] All (except Hiwa?)**
Aloha!
**[1:05:59] Hiwa**
U-Um...!
**[1:06:02] Hiwa**
Thank you for the other day!
**[1:06:05] Hiwa**
I feel like I can overcome this somehow.
**[1:06:09] Suzukake**
I could tell when I saw you dance.
**[1:06:11] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[1:06:12] Suzukake**
Your dancing is energetic. I like it.
**[1:06:16] Suzukake**
But when you dance slow songs, Mari—
**[1:06:20] Hiwa**
You knew my sister?
**[1:06:23] Suzukake**
Yeah. We started at the same time.
**[1:06:26] Hiwa**
The same time?
**[1:06:31] Hiwa**
Oh, then you also started with Ayame?
**[1:06:33] Suzukake**
Oh, yeah.
**[1:06:35] Suzukake**
That's why she made me
give her a ride the other day.
**[1:06:40] Suzukake**
She said her boyfriend
couldn't get the day off.
**[1:06:42] Hiwa**
What? Ayame has a boyfriend?!
**[1:06:46] Suzukake**
She's caught up in an office romance,
**[1:06:48] Suzukake**
so this is a secret.
**[1:06:51] Hiwa**
R-Right.
**[1:06:53] Suzukake**
Later.
**[1:06:54] Hiwa**
U-Um...
**[1:06:57] Hiwa**
Please...
**[1:07:00] Hiwa**
...tell me more about the company.
**[1:07:03] Suzukake**
Yeah, sure.
**[1:07:16] 'Ohana**
Who—
**[1:07:16] Ranko**
—was—
**[1:07:17] Kanna**
—that?
**[1:07:18] Shion**
Yeah!
**[1:07:19] Hiwa**
Um... He told me a lot about
the facilities the other day...
**[1:07:24] Hiwa**
and he cheered me up—
**[1:07:25] Kanna**
Why just you?!
**[1:07:27] Hiwa**
I dropped my performance evaluation,
and he picked it up...
**[1:07:33] Hiwa**
But he said my dancing is energetic
and that he liked it!
**[1:07:38] Hiwa**
But I was only able to cheer up
like that thanks to him...
**[1:07:42] All**
Oh?
**[1:07:44] Hiwa**
Of course, it was thanks to
you all and the senpais, too.
**[1:07:47] Hiwa**
Oh?
**[1:07:50] 'Ohana**
Love.
**[1:07:51] Hiwa**
Love?
**[1:07:52] 'Ohana**
How can we unite them?
**[1:07:55] Ranko**
Let's all think about it together!
**[1:07:57] Hiwa**
Huh? Wait, stop! You don't have to do that!
**[1:08:09] Hiwa**

**[1:10:49] Suzukake**
She was always worrying about you.
**[1:10:53] Suzukake**
Her little sister who was still in grade
school and loved her big sister.
**[1:10:59] Suzukake**
It was fun hearing about you.
**[1:11:05] (Flashback) Mari**
Mom and Dad couldn't take off work,
so I went to the open house instead.
**[1:11:11] (Flashback) Mari**
Hiwa was so excited that I was there
**[1:11:14] (Flashback) Mari**
that she raised her hand to answer a question
even though she didn't know the answer.
**[1:11:19] (Flashback) Mari**
She came to watch me perform the other day!
**[1:11:21] (Flashback) Mari**
But I think she liked Miss CoCo better than me.
**[1:11:29] Suzukake**
It felt like time had stopped...
**[1:11:32] Suzukake**
But so much time has passed that that
grade schooler has joined the company, too.
**[1:11:40] Suzukake**
I feel like it's finally started up again...

You can dance so wonderfully now.

**[1:12:44] Suzukake**
You tell Mari...

Hula championship...
**[1:16:35] Kanna**
I'm getting fired up.
**[1:16:36] All**
Huh?
**[1:16:37] Kanna**
I never thought I'd get another chance
**[1:16:41] Kanna**
to compete in a hula competition!
**[1:16:44] Hiwa**
She's fired up.
**[1:16:45] Ranko**
Yeah, she is.
**[1:16:46] 'Ohana**
She's all fire.
**[1:16:48] Ranko**
But while Kan-Kan's won the National
Hula Championships before...
**[1:17:08] Hiwa**
Let's do it.
**[1:17:10] Hiwa**
Let's try it!
**[1:17:11] Hiwa**
Like Ayame said, it's a good chance
to show people our dancing!
**[1:17:16] Ranko**
Yeah!
**[1:17:18] Shion**
Yeah.
**[1:17:18] 'Ohana**
Let's do it, meow!
**[1:17:20] Shion**
So... what song should we use?
What dance should we do?
**[1:17:23] Hiwa**
Shion?
**[1:17:24] Shion**
I mean, the Hula Madames will be there, too!
**[1:17:29] Shion**
I'd like to meet... them...
**[1:17:33] Kanna**
Let's decide on a piece first!
**[1:17:35] 'Ohana**
It'd be nice to do a piece
that feels like us, meow!
**[1:17:38] Ranko**
Then, instead of a slow, calm piece,
**[1:17:40] Ranko**
something more energetic would be better!
**[1:17:43] Hiwa**
Should we make a list of all
the songs we've danced to so far?
**[1:17:45] Kanna**
It won't be as fun if we use
a song we've done before!
**[1:17:49] Kanna**
Let's use a new song!
**[1:17:51] Shion**
A new song? Like what?
**[1:17:54] 'Ohana**
In Hawaii, there's a popular show
called Rock-A-Hula
**[1:17:58] 'Ohana**
where people dressed like
Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga come out
**[1:18:01] 'Ohana**
and dancers dance in
the background to their music.
**[1:18:05] Ranko**
That's daring!
**[1:18:06] Hiwa**
Then, should we use pop songs or J-pop?
**[1:18:09] Kanna**
We use some of those now already.
**[1:18:11] Ranko**
What if we play the instruments
while we dance?!
**[1:18:13] 'Ohana**
I can only play the tambourine
or maracas, meow!
**[1:18:16] Shion**
What if we dance in zombie clothes?
**[1:18:18] Ranko**
I don't like horror!
**[1:18:20] Kanna**
That's not the issue here!
**[1:18:22] Hiwa**
Then... Um...
**[1:18:25] Kanna**
Has there been any music other than hula
**[1:18:27] Kanna**
that you thought was really fun
or got you really fired up?
**[1:18:45] Hiwa**
Ow!

**[1:21:13] Shion**
I want to be a Hula Madame, too, and today...
**[1:21:16] Hula Madame**
Oh, thank you.
**[1:21:19] High School Girl 1**
Senpai!
**[1:21:21] Kanna**
Oh, you came?
**[1:21:23] High School Girl 5**
Yes!
**[1:21:24] Kanna**
These are my kohais from high school.
**[1:21:26] 'Ohana**
Thanks for taking care of Kan-Kan, meow!
**[1:21:29] High School Girl 1**
"Kan-Kan"?!
**[1:21:30] Kanna**
Don't call me that in front of them!
**[1:21:32] 'Ohana**
Aw, but you call Ran-Ran "Ran-Ran," too,
**[1:21:36] 'Ohana**
and you say "meow" sometimes, too, meow!
**[1:21:38] Kanna**
I'm just doing that for you!
**[1:21:43] Kanna**
Oh, we all started at the same time.
**[1:21:46] High School Girl 1**
We know!
**[1:21:47] High School Girl 2**
Miss Sumo and—
**[1:21:49] High School Girl 3**
Miss Hanger!
**[1:21:50] High School Girl 4**
The one from Hawaii and—
**[1:21:52] High School Girl 5**
Miss Deadpan!
**[1:21:53] Kanna**
Those aren't their names.
**[1:21:56] High School Girl 1**
The other alumnae said they'd come later, too.
**[1:21:59] High School Girl 2**
I haven't seen your hula in a long time,
and I'm looking forward to it!
**[1:22:02] High School Girl 3**
We're cheering for you, Kan-Kan!
**[1:22:08] Kanna**
Actually, there's a favor I'd like to ask.
**[1:22:11] High School Girls**
Yes?
**[1:22:14] MC**
*That was the last of the senior category.*
**[1:22:17] MC**
*We will now have a twenty-minute break*
**[1:22:19] MC**
* before we start the judging*
* for the general category.*
**[1:22:24] Ranko**
Was that the twelfth group?
**[1:22:26] Shion**
What number were we again?
**[1:22:28] Hiwa**
Fourteen.
**[1:22:30] 'Ohana**
Only two more groups, meow!
**[1:22:34] Ranko**
That's a lot of applause.
**[1:22:36] Kanna**
They were the runner-ups last year.
**[1:22:38] Kanna**
They're students from a hula school in
Tokyo that's been around for forty years.
**[1:22:42] Ranko**
It seems like everyone's
doing traditional hula dance...
**[1:22:46] Hiwa**
Will we be okay?
**[1:22:52] Kanna**
Even if we did traditional hula,
**[1:22:55] Kanna**
we wouldn't be able to beat those who have
been doing hula for a long time, right?
**[1:23:01] Kanna**
Let's do what we can do...
**[1:23:03] Kanna**
and dance the hula only we can dance!
**[1:23:09] 'Ohana**
Kan-Kan! Senpai!
**[1:23:11] Kanna**
I'm not *your* senpai!
**[1:23:14] Hiwa**
'Ohana, Kan-Kan just said something good.
**[1:23:17] Ranko**
Yeah.
**[1:23:19] Kanna**
It's really unfortunate.
**[1:23:22] Kanna**
But I'm glad to be here with you all!
**[1:23:40] Hiwa**
Let's go!
**[1:23:41] All**
Yeah!
**[1:23:43] MC**
* And now, entry number fourteen*
* in the general category—*
**[1:23:47] MC**

**[1:27:37] Kanna**
We need to change and go home.
**[1:27:40] Ranko**
Yeah.
**[1:27:41] Ranko**
The last Hitachi train from
Tokyo Station is at nine, right?
**[1:27:45] Hiwa**
What should we say to Ayame?
**[1:27:48] 'Ohana**
I'm sure she already knows the results, meow.
**[1:27:51] Shion**
Did we go a little too far?
**[1:27:54] Ranko**
The judges seemed pretty stunned...
**[1:28:00] Hiwa**
But...
**[1:28:01] Hiwa**
It was really... really fun!
**[1:28:07] Shion**
Yeah!
**[1:28:08] 'Ohana**
I danced with everything I had, meow!
**[1:28:09] Kanna**
It's true that we did our best.
**[1:28:11] Ranko**
I have no regrets!
**[1:28:14] Ms. Hayasaka**
Girls!
**[1:28:18] Hiwa**
M-Ms. Hayasaka!
**[1:28:20] Ms. Hayasaka**
Did you come up with that dance yourselves?
**[1:28:22] Kanna**
Oh, yes, ma'am!
**[1:28:24] Ms. Hayasaka**
It was fun,
**[1:28:26] Ms. Hayasaka**
it was different,
**[1:28:27] Ms. Hayasaka**
and above all, the spirit of wanting
the audience to have fun,
**[1:28:30] Ms. Hayasaka**
to become one with the audience,
really came through.
**[1:28:35] Ms. Hayasaka**
But you can't get too complacent.
**[1:28:38] Ms. Hayasaka**
You must always listen to
the audience's voices
**[1:28:41] Ms. Hayasaka**
and the opinions of those around you.
**[1:28:43] Ms. Hayasaka**
Think it through with your friends,
**[1:28:46] Ms. Hayasaka**
and throughout your life,
**[1:28:48] Ms. Hayasaka**
be uncertain and worry about things.
**[1:28:51] Ms. Hayasaka**
That's the shaky "fulla" part of hula dance.
**[1:28:55] High School Girl 1**
Senpai!
**[1:28:57] High School Girl 3**
It was too bad about the results.
**[1:28:59] High School Girl 2**
But it was so fun!
**[1:29:02] High School Girl 1**
And so, we present the newcomer team
from Spa Resort Hawaiians
**[1:29:07] High School Girl 1**
with the "So Much Fun" Award!
**[1:29:10] High School Girl 1**
Ta-da!
**[1:29:19] High School Girl 1**
It was really fun to do
the calls during the song!
**[1:29:22] High School Girl 2**
Your performance was the best!
**[1:29:24] Kanna**
Thanks, and thanks for getting us leis, too.
**[1:29:28] High School Girl 1**
Oh, um, *we* didn't buy the leis—
**[1:29:34] High School Girl 1**
Um, they're from your mother...
**[1:29:40] Kanna**
My mother?
**[1:29:41] Kanna**
She was here?
**[1:29:43] High School Girl 1**
Yes. When we went to buy leis,
she paid for them.
**[1:29:48] High School Girl 2**
She's probably still nearby.
**[1:29:59] 'Ohana**
Let's go, meow!
**[1:30:00] Kanna**
Huh? Wait—
**[1:30:03] Hiwa**
Let's go, too!
**[1:30:04] Ranko**
Yeah, we need to thank Kan-Kan's mom!
**[1:30:08] Hiwa**
Please excuse us!
**[1:30:09] High School Girl 1**
Let's look for her, too!
**[1:30:11] High School Girls 2-6**
Yeah!
**[1:30:26] Kanna**
Mom!
**[1:30:40] Kanna's Mom**
Look at you, walking around in those clothes.
**[1:30:43] Kanna's Mom**
You'll catch cold.
**[1:30:48] Kanna's Mom**
I'm glad that you seem well.
**[1:30:51] Kanna's Mom**
You didn't even come home for New Year's.
Your dad missed you, you know.
**[1:30:57] Kanna**
I'm sorry.
**[1:30:59] Kanna's Mom**
There's nothing for you to be sorry about.
**[1:31:03] Kanna's Mom**
We're sorry
**[1:31:05] Kanna's Mom**
that we were against you becoming a dancer
without thinking about your feelings.
**[1:31:10] Kanna's Mom**
We'll watch one of your
performances sometime.
**[1:31:14] Kanna's Mom**
I need to make your father
take me on a trip once in a while.
**[1:31:20] Kanna**
Yeah. I'll be waiting.
**[1:31:22] Kanna**
I'll be waiting!
**[1:31:54] Manager Taira**
Good work.
**[1:32:08] Hiwa**
Um...
**[1:32:08] Manager Taira**
I saw your performance online.
**[1:32:12] Manager Taira**
All the dancers thought it was fun, too.
**[1:32:15] Manager Taira**
They said that they wanted to
dance to a song like that, too.
**[1:32:20] Manager Taira**
Especially my Ayame—
**[1:32:25] Hiwa**
"Caught up in an office romance"...
**[1:32:28] Ranko**
No way!
**[1:32:30] Kanna**
I didn't realize at all!
**[1:32:31] Manager Taira**
Um, wait, no, that's not—
**[1:32:32] 'Ohana**
Aloha!
**[1:32:33] Manager Taira**
Please, don't say anything!
**[1:32:34] Manager Taira**
Don't tell Ayame, I mean, Ms. Ayame...!
**[1:32:41] Ayame**
What? You didn't even win anything.
What're you all so happy about?
**[1:32:45] 'Ohana**
Well...
**[1:32:46] Kanna**
Well, it's because we were able to
dance in our own way.
**[1:32:52] Ayame**
That's true.
**[1:32:54] Ayame**
I'm glad I was able to see
you all grow before I retire.
**[1:32:58] Hiwa**
Retire?
**[1:32:59] Ayame**
That's right. I'm retiring
as a dancer at the end of March.
**[1:33:05] Ayame**
It's time to make way for my kohais.
**[1:33:08] Ayame**
I'll go from Puala Ayame back to
my real name, Ayame Shioyazaki.
**[1:33:38] Hiwa**
Ayame...
**[1:33:46] Hiwa**
Um, there's something
I've been wanting to ask you.
**[1:33:50] Ayame**
What is it?
**[1:33:51] Hiwa**
Is your dancer name, Puala,
**[1:33:55] Hiwa**
taken after the name my sister used?
**[1:33:59] Ayame**
It is.
**[1:34:00] Ayame**
When I became a soloist,
I asked to use the name Mari used.
**[1:34:11] Ayame**
So that Mari would always
dance here with me.
**[1:34:16] Ayame**
But when you started dancing here...
**[1:34:21] Ayame**
I was happy.
**[1:34:22] Ayame**
I was *so* happy.
**[1:34:25] Ayame**
Because Mari...
**[1:34:27] (Flashback) Mari**
It looks like my little sister's
interested in hula, too.
**[1:34:30] (Flashback) Mari**
If she comes to work here in the future,
do you think we could dance together?
**[1:34:38] Ayame**
That's what she said.
**[1:34:42] Ayame**
I took on Mari's name and danced here with you.
**[1:34:46] Ayame**
I feel like that's making
Mari's dream come true.
**[1:34:50] Ayame**
Because "puala" means...
**[1:34:54] Ayame**
Mari and Hiwa...
**[1:34:57] Ayame**
The two of you make one...
**[1:35:00] Ayame**
Flower of the sun. Himawari.
**[1:35:05] Hiwa**
*Mari!*
**[1:35:07] Hiwa**
*Mari!*
**[1:35:08] Hiwa**
*Mari!*
**[1:35:21] Hiwa**
*Mari!*
**[1:35:23] Miss CoCo**
Aloha!
**[1:35:28] Hiwa**
You were Mari this whole time?
**[1:35:30] Miss CoCo**
You finally realized, huh?
**[1:35:34] Hiwa**
I'm sorry I put packing tape on your
mouth and put you in a trash bag!
**[1:35:38] Miss CoCo**
What else are you gonna do
if a plushie starts talking?
**[1:35:42] Hiwa**
I'm really sorry!
**[1:35:43] Miss CoCo**
It's fine, it's fine.
**[1:35:44] Miss CoCo**
More importantly, don't tape
my mouth shut anymore.
**[1:35:47] Miss CoCo**
And don't put me in a trash bag.
**[1:35:49] Hiwa**
Right...
**[1:35:50] Miss CoCo**
The locker was kind of cramped, too.
**[1:35:52] Hiwa**
Okay, okay.
**[1:35:53] Miss CoCo**
Okay then, I'll go back to being
a normal plushie now.
**[1:35:56] Hiwa**
Okay— huh?
**[1:35:58] Miss CoCo**
Aloha!
**[1:36:03] Miss CoCo**
Aloha!
**[1:36:07] Miss CoCo**
Hiwa, you say it, too. Aloha!
**[1:36:10] Hiwa**
I won't! Because "aloha"
can also mean "goodbye"!
**[1:36:16] Hiwa**
I was finally able to talk to you again.
**[1:36:20] Hiwa**
I don't want to leave you again.
**[1:36:22] Miss CoCo**
Hiwa...
**[1:36:26] Miss CoCo**
Well...
**[1:36:28] Miss CoCo**
Hey, Hiwa, will you put the wreath on my head?
**[1:36:32] Miss CoCo**
It looks like I lost it.
**[1:36:34] Hiwa**
Huh?
**[1:37:34] Mari**
You're okay now, right, Hiwa?
**[1:37:38] Mari**
I was worried that you'd fall over
if a strong wind blew around you,
**[1:37:44] Mari**
but the small bud you once were
**[1:37:47] Mari**
bloomed into a real flower.
**[1:37:59] Mari**
I'm here. Right here.
**[1:38:03] Mari**
Inside your heart. Inside your smile.
**[1:38:09] Mari**
Don't forget.
**[1:38:10] Mari**
The two of us, Hiwa and Mari, make...
**[1:38:19] Hiwa**
Himawari... Sunflower...
**[1:38:24] Mari**
So, Hiwa...
**[1:38:27] Mari**
Aloha!
**[1:38:30] Hiwa**
Mari...
**[1:38:41] Hiwa**
Alo...ha...
**[1:39:15] Ayame**
Aloha!
**[1:39:18] Dancers**
Aloha!
**[1:39:24] Audience**
Ayame!
**[1:39:25] Audience**
Ayame!
**[1:39:26] Audience**
Puala!
**[1:39:31] Ayame**
Thank you for taking the time out
of your busy lives to come here
**[1:39:36] Ayame**
to Spa Resort Hawaiians.
**[1:39:40] Ayame**
Fun things, sad things, frustrating things...
**[1:39:43] Ayame**
A lot has happened,
**[1:39:45] Ayame**
but I've been able to continue
as a dancer these past fourteen years
**[1:39:49] Ayame**
thanks to the support of everyone here.
**[1:39:55] Ayame**
And my friends
**[1:39:57] Ayame**
and kohais have also supported me.
**[1:40:02] Ayame**
I'm retiring as a dancer,
but I'll continue on the stage of life.
**[1:40:07] Manager Taira**
Ayame! You look beautiful!
**[1:40:10] Ayame**
Please shine on your own stages, too!
**[1:40:16] Ayame**
And now, this is my
last performance as Puala Ayame.
**[1:40:22] Ayame**
I hope this song will be
a rainbow that connects you all.
**[1:40:35] [SONG] ---**
Light to the land
**[1:40:40] [SONG] ---**
An unending dream
**[1:40:44] [SONG] ---**
A kiss to the sun
**[1:40:49] [SONG] ---**
With unchanging eyes
**[1:40:58] [SONG] ---**
Chasing the rainbow after the rain
**[1:41:05] [SONG] ---**
The light reflected in your dark eyes
**[1:41:14] [SONG] ---**
Your tears and your smiles
**[1:41:22] [SONG] ---**
I'll never forget them
**[1:41:31] [SONG] ---**
On a starless night
**[1:41:39] [SONG] ---**
I dream with my eyes closed
**[1:41:48] [SONG] ---**
A nameless flower
**[1:41:56] [SONG] ---**
Shaking with life, it blooms
**[1:42:06] [SONG] ---**
Light to the land
**[1:42:10] [SONG] ---**
An unending dream
**[1:42:14] [SONG] ---**
A kiss to the sun
**[1:42:18] [SONG] ---**
With unchanging eyes
**[1:43:01] Hiwa**
*The flowers are blooming.*
**[1:43:05] Hiwa**
*Even now, the flowers...*
**[1:43:14] Hiwa**
*are reaching toward the sky,*
**[1:43:16] Hiwa**
*blooming...*
**[1:43:37] Hiwa**
I'm here!
**[1:43:42] Hiwa**
I'm...
**[1:43:44] Hiwa**
right here!
