[00:00] (Flashback) Ryu
    Still, don't you actually want
    to talk things out with him?
[00:04] (Flashback) Ryu
    Don't you want your family's support?
[00:06] (Flashback) Tamaki
    You're not gonna tell the others
    that you're going back home?
[00:09] (Flashback) Sogo
    It's good to see you again, Fa—Osaka-san.
[00:12] (Flashback) Soshi
    You're here for money, aren't you?
[00:13] (Flashback) Soshi
    How much do you want?
[01:54] Soshi
    Nightlife workers attract attention.
[01:57] Soshi
    I only invited you inside to avoid a scene
[01:59] Soshi
    if you refused to leave my doorstep.
[02:01] Soshi
    I don't have time to chat with you.
[02:03] Soshi
    Just tell me how much you want.
[02:08] Sogo
    Seventy million.
[02:11] Soshi
    Have you no shame?
[02:13] Soshi
    You think you're worth that much?
[02:15] Sogo
    I'm not, but your honor and
    time are worth that much.
[02:22] Sogo
    If you'll agree to my terms, then
    I won't bother you any further.
[02:26] Tamaki
    Aw, man. So-chan gave up
    on talking things out.
[02:30] Sogo
    What do you want it for?
[02:31] Sogo
    I'll use the money to reserve the FSC Hall
     and put on a concert for TRIGGER.
[02:37] Sogo
    I promise I'll return the amount I borrow.
[02:39] Soshi
    Men who sell themselves can't be trusted.
[02:41] Sogo
    That's not what we do.
[02:43] Sogo
    TRIGGER and I are singers.
[02:45] Soshi
    Doing business with tramps
    and drifters is selling yourself.
[02:52] Soshi
    You're not producing anything with
    your own hard work and sweat,
[02:55] Soshi
    nor are you doing anything
    useful for society.
[02:58] Soshi
    It's something only shameless men do.
[03:01] Sogo
    All professions are equal.
[03:03] Soshi
    Satoshi said the same thing,
[03:06] Soshi
    and it led to his early
    death in a filthy apartment.
[03:10] Soshi
    He wouldn't have died like that
    if he'd worked a proper job.
[03:14] Sogo
    If he'd had the family's support,
[03:16] Sogo
    he wouldn't have died of overwork
    and malnutrition in modern Japan.
[03:25] Soshi
    Do I have to pay 70 million yen so
    my son doesn't die in the street?
[03:35] Sogo
    I'm not your son, Osaka-san.
[03:40] Soshi
    Fine. Prepare the appropriate documents.
[03:42] Servant
    Yes, sir.
[03:48] Soshi
    I'll lend you the 70 million
     yen and the FSC Hall,
[03:50] Soshi
    but I have a condition.
[03:52] Sogo
    What is it?
[03:53] Soshi
    Rejoin the family.
[03:55] Soshi
    You'll live the rest of your life
    isolated in a villa overseas.
[03:59] Tamaki
    What?
[04:00] Soshi
    It's better than allowing the world
    to see you behave so disreputably.
[04:03] Soshi
    I'll lend you the money to protect
    the Osaka family's honor.
[04:11] Soshi
    Sign here.
[04:15] Tamaki
    What are talking about?
[04:17] Tamaki
    What'd you just say, mister?
[04:21] Soshi
    You can't even speak properly.
[04:23] Soshi
    I see you were raised poorly.
[04:25] Sogo
    Please don't insult him.
[04:26] Soshi
    If you didn't want me to insult him,
[04:29] Soshi
    then you should've taught him
    how to speak to his betters.
[04:34] Soshi
    You're asking me for money.
[04:37] Soshi
    Do you think you're in any
    position to tell me what to do?
[04:40] Sogo
    My apologies.
[04:42] Tamaki
    With the way you talk, it's no wonder
    So-chan can't say anything.
[04:47] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun!
[04:48] Tamaki
    Why are you getting mad at me?
[04:50] Tamaki
    Aren't you here to talk
    this guy down, not me?
[04:56] Tamaki
    I get it. You respond that
    way automatically, right?
[05:00] Tamaki
    Because they always made you do that.
[05:03] Tamaki
    Mister, you might be some important guy,
[05:06] Tamaki
    but you're the absolute worst for saying
    mean things to my partner.
[05:11] Tamaki
    I'm glad So-chan left this place.
[05:14] Tamaki
    Anyway, I'm taking him home now.
[05:17] Tamaki
    Let's go, So-chan.
[05:19] Sogo
    W-Wait!
[05:20] Tamaki
    What?
[05:21] Sogo
    I want...
[05:23] Sogo
    I want to have a proper conversation.
[05:27] Sogo
    My uncle went astray and died because
    he became obsessed with music.
[05:32] Sogo
    Perhaps that's what you think, Father,
[05:35] Sogo
    but I disagree.
[05:37] Sogo
    Becoming engrossed in
    music wasn't a bad thing.
[05:40] Sogo
    He was happy.
[05:42] Sogo
    And so am I right now. I'm happy!
[05:45] Soshi
    Sign it.
[05:47] Sogo
    I sing with Tamaki-kun.
[05:50] Sogo
    There are five other
    members in our group, too.
[05:53] Sogo
    We struggled a lot at first, but now
    we make enough to support ourselves.
[05:58] Sogo
    I won't do anything to make you worry.
[05:59] Sogo
    I swear on our family's name that
     I won't do anything to embarrass you!
[06:03] Soshi
    Sign the document. If you won't, then leave.
[06:09] Sogo
    I'm sorry if people laugh
    at you because of me.
[06:11] Tamaki
    So-chan!
[06:13] Sogo
    But someday, I'll become 
    someone they can't laugh at!
[06:17] Sogo
    So, please... please acknowledge us!
[06:20] Sogo
    Both me and my uncle.
[06:22] Sogo
    Please, acknowledge what my uncle loved!
[06:25] Sogo
    Please!
[06:30] Soshi
    Throw them out.
[06:31] Servant
    Yes, sir.
[06:34] Sogo
    W-Wait!
[06:35] Tamaki
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[06:37] Sogo
    Please listen to me! Father, please!
[06:41] Sogo
    Let go!
[06:44] Sogo
    I'm sorry!
[06:48] Soshi
    Are you all right?
[06:49] Servant
    Yes, he simply brushed me off—
[06:51] Soshi
    You were struck in the shoulder.
[06:53] Soshi
    He injured you.
[06:54] Sogo
    What?
[06:55] Soshi
    Who hit you? Was it my son?
[06:58] Sogo
    Was it that boy over there?
[07:00] Sogo
    Wha—
[07:01] Servant
    It was the boy.
[07:03] Tamaki
    Huh?
[07:04] Soshi
    That's right. That's what I saw, as well.
[07:07] Soshi
    We'll tell the police what happened.
[07:08] Sogo
    W-Wait, I'm the one who bumped into him.
[07:12] Sogo
    Isn't that right?
[07:14] Servant
    No.
[07:15] Sogo
    You're lying.
[07:16] Soshi
    Call the police.
[07:18] Soshi
    An old friend of mine
    will respond to the call,
[07:20] Soshi
    but tell them not to come in a squad car.
[07:23] Servant
    Yes, sir.
[07:24] Tamaki
    What? So-chan, what's he saying?
[07:29] Sogo
    Wait! Tamaki-kun didn't do anything!
[07:32] Soshi
    Sogo.
[07:33] Soshi
    If you don't want him to end
    up with a criminal record,
[07:36] Soshi
    then wash your hands of the
    entertainment business.
[07:40] Soshi
    Are you working today?
[07:42] Sogo
    I have a live radio show.
[07:44] Soshi
    That will be your last job.
[07:47] Soshi
    A man of the Osaka family
    does not miss work.
[07:57] Tamaki
    So-chan, you look pale. Let's leave.
[08:00] Soshi
    You're going to stay here with the police.
[08:04] Soshi
    If you don't, then I'll
    hand you over to them.
[08:06] Tamaki
    What?! Why would the police take me away?!
[08:10] Tamaki
    C'mon, we're leaving—
[08:11] Soshi
    You injured a man. If you leave this
    room, you'll be running from the law.
[08:16] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, stay here.
[08:20] Sogo
    It's okay. It'll be okay.
[08:22] Tamaki
    What's okay about it?
[08:24] Tamaki
    I'm fine. I didn't do anything wrong.
[08:28] Tamaki
    The police will understand once I talk to—
[08:30] Sogo
    You can't!
[08:33] Sogo
    You can't. Just stay here. I'm begging you.
[08:40] Tamaki
    What about the radio show?
[08:43] Sogo
    I'll go by myself.
[08:48] Tamaki
    I see.
[08:50] Tamaki
    Then you'd better speak loudly
    so everyone can hear you.
[08:53] Tamaki
    I'll have them play it here
    so we can listen, too.
[08:58] Tamaki
    We'll listen to you talk about
    rock and yourself. Yeah?
[09:02] Sogo
    Yeah.
[09:05] Tamaki
    Okay. See you later.
[09:08] Sogo
    I'll be back.
[09:10] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, please be on your best behavior.
[09:13] Sogo
    Even if anything unpleasant
    happens, please try to be patient.
[09:17] Tamaki
    Got it.
[09:18] Sogo
    I promise I'll return.
[09:20] Sogo
    Please don't do anything
    to Tamaki-kun. Please.
[09:30] Sogo
    Excuse me.
[09:35] Tamaki
    You guys are trash!
[09:37] Tamaki
    How could you threaten
    your own son like that?!
[09:40] Soshi
    You understood what was happening?
[09:43] Tamaki
    If I end up going to jail anyway, 
    I'm gonna hit you for real first!
[09:51] Soshi
    He threatened to hit me. Did you hear that?
[09:54] Servant
    Yes, sir.
[09:55] Tamaki
    If you can hear that, then you can
    listen to So-chan's radio show.
[10:00] Tamaki
    I promised we'd listen.
[10:01] Tamaki
    Bring me a radio!
[10:04] Soshi
    Bring it.
[10:06] Servant
    Yes, sir.
[10:08] Tamaki
    For once...
[10:10] Tamaki
    Just once, listen to him happily 
    talk about the things he loves.
[10:25] Radio D
    Good morning.
[10:27] Radio D
    Huh? Where's Tamaki-kun?
[10:29] Sogo
    He didn't feel well and couldn't make it.
[10:30] Radio D
    What? Is he okay?
[10:33] Radio D
    You don't look too well yourself, Sogo-kun.
[10:35] Sogo
    I'm fine. I'm looking
    forward to today's show.
[10:38] Radio D
    Don't push yourself, all right?
[10:40] Sogo
    I won't.
[10:40] Radio D
    Okay. Shall we get started?
[10:45] (Flashback) Tamaki
    Then you'd better speak loudly
    so everyone can hear you.
[10:58] Sogo
    Good evening. This is 
    MEZZO"'s Long Hit Album.
[11:02] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun is out today.
[11:04] Sogo
    I'm sorry, but it'll be just me for tonight.
[11:08] Sogo
    Our first song is "He Sings in a Loud Voice."
[11:14] Sogo
    It was released by British rock
    band MUSCAT in 1972, and...
[11:28] Radio D
    What's gotten into him?
[11:33] Sogo
    But before that, let me talk
    a little bit about myself,
[11:36] Sogo
    and how I came to love music.
[11:41] Sogo
    I didn't used to like myself very much.
[11:45] Ryu
    Sogo-kun...
[11:47] Gaku
    What's up?
[11:48] Ryu
    I'm listening to MEZZO"'s radio show,
    but it seems a little different than usual.
[11:53] Tenn
    Turn it up.
[11:56] Sogo
    I didn't like myself, the environment
    I was in, or my personality.
[12:04] Sogo
    But while listening to music
    I loved, I was able to like myself.
[12:12] Sogo
    I was afraid of making mistakes,
[12:14] Sogo
    so I was always anxious and always
    trying to gauge people's emotions.
[12:19] Sogo
    But I never felt that way when
    I was supporting the artists I loved.
[12:25] Sogo
    I bought their newest albums and
    secretly sent them fan mail.
[12:30] Sogo
    Doing all that filled me with confidence.
[12:33] Sogo
    I grew to like myself just a bit while
    I was doing something so incredible.
[12:37] Sogo
    It filled me with childlike excitement.
[12:40] Sogo
    I always...
[12:43] Sogo
    I always wanted... to learn to like myself.
[12:49] Sogo
    Like the artists I admired, and the songs
    that were memorable to me, I want...
[12:57] Sogo
    I want to like myself.
[13:00] Sogo
    I want to learn to protect the things I love,
[13:03] Sogo
    the things that are important to me,
    and the things that have protected me.
[13:06] Sogo
    I want to do good.
SIGN    Special Mimico
SIGN    Is Sogo-san crying...?
[13:08] Sogo
    I want to celebrate the
    names of my dear friends
SIGN    Some Duck
SIGN    I understand how Sogo-san feels
SIGN    I don't like myself either
[13:12] Sogo
    who've been so kind to me,
    and the people I look up to.
SIGN    Rurumamin-chan
SIGN    I liked myself while I was cheering Sogo-san on
SIGN    Don't say you hate yourself
[13:16] Sogo
    My late uncle can't sing anymore.
[13:20] Sogo
    TRIGGER's songs have vanished from the city,
[13:23] Sogo
    even though there was no
    need for them to go away.
[13:26] Sogo
    But my admiration for them
    lives on in my heart.
[13:32] Sogo
    So I want to continue living with music.
[13:46] Sogo
    I'm sorry for the tangent.
[13:47] Sogo
    Let's get back to the music.
[13:52] Sogo
    But we'll deviate a bit and play...
[13:56] Sogo
    "Secret Night."
[14:05] Sogo
    This song was performed at the first
    concert I attended with Tamaki-kun.
[14:11] Sogo
    I hope we'll dream a
    neverending dream together.
[14:15] Sogo
    Enjoy.
[14:41] Ryu
    It's our song.
[14:43] Gaku
    Osaka really did look up to us.
[14:47] Gaku
    It hurts that we made him feel this way.
[14:52] Tenn
    But it makes me happy, too.
[14:56] Tenn
    I don't have the words to
    express how happy I am.
[15:06] Tamaki
    Do you get it?
[15:08] Tamaki
    You're the one making So-chan
    say he hates himself.
[15:13] Soshi
    I looked after him.
[15:15] Soshi
    I raised him properly so he wouldn't
    embarrass himself, regardless of where he—
[15:19] Tamaki
    You did that for yourself!
[15:22] Tamaki
    I bet you've got no idea that when So-chan
    told me he wanted to compose music,
[15:28] Tamaki
    he looked sorry, like he was 
    apologizing for doing something bad!
[15:34] Tamaki
    He asked me if it'd be okay,
    like he'd stolen someone's food!
[15:40] Tamaki
    You're the whole damn reason
[15:41] Tamaki
    he makes that face, when all he's
    doing is telling someone what he wants!
[15:49] Soshi
    Nonsense like music is—
[15:51] Tamaki
    If you ask me, being rich is way dumber!
[15:56] Tamaki
    But still, I'd never tell you that we don't need 
    rich people, or that you gotta quit being one!
[16:03] Tamaki
    What's wrong with saying you
    like the things you like?
[16:08] Tamaki
    Why won't you acknowledge someone
    who's different from you?
[16:11] Tamaki
    What's wrong with wearing the clothes
    you want and singing songs you love?!
[16:15] Tamaki
    Who's he bothering doing that stuff?!
[16:17] Tamaki
    It's not like he hit anyone!
[16:24] Tamaki
    You're the one hitting him.
[16:27] Tamaki
    You can use all the big words and
    wear all the fancy suits you want,
[16:30] Tamaki
    but you can't hide who you really are.
[16:34] Tamaki
    You take little kids' toys away from them,
[16:35] Tamaki
    beat them until they can't stand back up,
[16:39] Tamaki
    and then you tell them it was their 
    fault for not listening to you!
[16:43] Tamaki
    You're just a damn bully who throws
     tantrums and blames everyone else.
[16:50] Tamaki
    You're an embarrassment.
[16:58] Radio D
    Good work today.
[17:00] Sogo
    I'm sorry.
[17:02] Sogo
    Not only was I unable to speak properly,
    but I went off script, as well.
[17:06] Radio D
    I was touched.
[17:08] Radio D
    This'll go down in MEZZO"'s history.
[17:11] Radio D
    Ten years from now, you'll
    reminisce about it over drinks.
[17:14] Sogo
    Ten years?
[17:16] Staff C
    Hey, things are nuts out there.
[17:19] Radio D
    Maybe we should call a taxi.
[17:22] Sogo
    What?
[17:22] Radio D
    Apparently, your fans
    showed up at the studio.
SIGN    Maximum Clearance 2.1m
[17:31] Woman A
    Sogo-san!
[17:33] Woman B
    We heard your show.
[17:35] Woman B
    Don't say you hate yourself.
[17:36] Woman B
    We love you, Sogo-san.
[17:39] Woman C
    I'm a TRIGGER fan.
[17:41] Woman C
    Thank you for talking about TRIGGER!
[17:44] Woman D
    Thank you for speaking up when
    no one else would say anything.
[17:48] Radio D
    Okay, we get it. It's late, all right?
[17:53] Woman A
    Sogo-san, don't cry.
[17:56] Sogo
    I'm sorry. Thank you.
[18:00] Sogo
    Thank you, everyone.
[18:05] Fans
    Cheer up, okay?
[18:06] Fans
    We support you.
[18:07] Fans
    You have my support, too.
[18:07] Fans
    Get some rest.
[18:08] Radio D
    Your taxi's here.
[18:10] Radio D
    Huh? That's not the taxi we called.
[18:21] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun...
[18:22] Woman
    It's Tamaki!
[18:25] Woman C
    Tamaki.
[18:25] Woman D
    Tamaki-kun!
[18:27] Tamaki
    Sorry. Let me through, okay?
[18:27] Fans
    Tamaki.
[18:29] Woman A
    Did you hear his show?
[18:31] Woman A
    Sogo-san was crying.
[18:32] Fans
    Yeah.
[18:33] Tamaki
    I was listening.
[18:34] Woman D
    Tamaki-kun, I love MEZZO".
[18:37] Fans
    Yeah, me, too.
[18:37] Tamaki
    Thanks.
[18:40] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun...
[18:43] Tamaki
    It's true.
[18:44] Tamaki
    You really can cry, after all.
[18:49] Fans
    Sogo-kun!
[18:51] Fans
    Please don't cry!
[18:51] Woman A
    Sogo-san...
[18:52] Woman B
    Tamaki-kun, don't make Sogo-san cry.
[18:54] Fans
    Yeah!
[18:55] Tamaki
    It's fine. A few tears won't hurt him.
[18:57] Tamaki
    C'mon, let's go.
[18:59] Sogo
    What about my family?! The police—
[19:02] Tamaki
    Don't say that in front of them.
[19:06] Fans
    Are they fighting?
[19:07] Tamaki
    Nah, we're good. Yeah?
[19:10] Sogo
    Ah, yes.
[19:11] Tamaki
    Thanks, you guys. Bye-bye.
[19:14] Woman A
    You're okay, right? MEZZO"
    are best friends, right?
[19:21] Tamaki
    Maybe not best friends, but
    we'll keep working together.
[19:28] Tamaki
    I'm gonna sing a song So-chan wrote.
[19:33] Tamaki
    We'll probably fight again tomorrow,
    but we'll make up the day after.
[19:38] Tamaki
    So, you guys keep watching
     and see what we'll do.
[19:42] Tamaki
    And so that thread doesn't suddenly
     snap, make sure you tell us
[19:47] Tamaki
    that we're okay.
[19:50] Woman A
    Got it.
[19:51] Woman B
    A song? Seriously?!
[19:52] Woman C
    Sogo-san writes music?!
[19:53] Woman E
    I wanna hear it!
[20:03] Sogo
    What about my father?
[20:05] Tamaki
    He said to bring a stamp
    the next time you come.
[20:09] Tamaki
    For, uh... papers?
[20:12] Sogo
    Papers?
[20:13] Tamaki
    Oh, yeah. For the loan.
[20:16] Sogo
    What?
[20:17] Tamaki
    He said he decided to lend you the
    money after hearing you on the radio.
[20:22] Tamaki
    See? Aren't you glad you spoke loudly?
[20:30] Tamaki
    Aw, c'mon... Don't cry anymore.
[20:33] Tamaki
    I don't have a handkerchief.
    Is my sleeve okay?
[20:39] Tamaki
    There's a soy sauce stain on it, though.
[20:42] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun...
[20:43] Tamaki
    Yeah?
[20:45] Sogo
    Thank you.
[20:48] Tamaki
    You said "thank you" instead
    of "sorry" for once.
[20:52] Tamaki
    See that? That's because of me.
[20:55] Tamaki
    You'd better be grateful.
[20:58] Sogo
    I am. Always.
[21:01] Sogo
    I'm glad you're here.

    Seventy million?!
[22:45] Anesagi
    And you got the FSC Hall, too?
[22:47] Sogo
    Yes. Please don't tell
    anyone where it came from.
[22:50] Tenn
    Thank you.
[22:51] Tenn
    We heard your radio show. It made me happy.
[22:54] Sogo
    How embarrassing.
[22:56] Sogo
    But there were some difficulties, and
    it's a personal loan under my name.
[23:02] Sogo
    If I don't return it within two months,
    there's a monthly 3% interest on it.
[23:08] Sogo
    In other words...
[23:09] Gaku
    We'd better fill all the seats.
[23:13] Gaku
    Don't worry. You can count on us.
[23:15] Gaku
    We won't waste your generosity.
[23:17] Sogo
    Thank you.

    Did you talk to your family?
[23:26] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun helped me.

    I feel like your expression looks brighter.
[23:42] Sogo
    Thank you. I'm sorry for

[23:46] Anesagi
    Anyway, we've got a tight schedule.
[23:49] Anesagi
    We'll have to hire staff, and...
[23:52] Anesagi
    We need a set list and stage production, too!
[23:55] Anesagi
    We're going to be busy, boys!

    Yeah!
