**[00:07] [SONG] ---**
We are in the Heisei Era Only!
This Show was not in Showa!
**[00:11] [SONG] ---**
Here, there, everywhere
- okay! Hey-Say is okay!
**[00:14] [SONG] ---**
We're in this era - sorry! But don't worry!
**[00:17] [SONG] ---**
We'll surely find our dreams in the
future. Come on, everybody, follow me!
**[00:22] [SONG] ---**
You should start every day
with a happily pounding heart.
**[00:29] [SONG] ---**
All you need is wings, no fancy clothes.
**[00:36] [SONG] ---**
I'm gonna be brave and fly out
to a world never before seen.
**[00:42] [SONG] ---**
And I'm taking you with me. Don't be shy.
**[00:49] [SONG] ---**
It's just the two of us. Love
is coming. Love is coming.
**[00:56] [SONG] ---**
In the distant universe,
one star shone brightest.
**[01:03] [SONG] ---**
It is the Earth - a sparkling
stage just for us.
**[01:09] [SONG] ---**
The miracle that brought us
together may have been flawed.
**[01:16] [SONG] ---**
But that's meaningless. I like
you just the way you are.
**[01:30] ---**
Just do whatever ya want!
**[01:32] ---**
I don't have any feelings
for Koizumi whatsoever!
**[01:42] ---**
Actually, I can use magic.
**[01:46] ---**
I will use my magic to make you happy.
**[01:50] ---**
Just for your information,
pal, I'M the guy she likes!
**[01:53] ---**
She doesn't like you in the slightest!
**[01:58] ---**
Seriously....this time for sure,
I'll give up on liking you.
**[02:04] ---**
This time for sure, we'll go
back to the way things were.
***SIGN*** "Iron Fists of Love! Catch My Female Spirit Ball!!"
**[03:04] ---**
Top of my game!
**[03:06] ---**
Can't beat it!
**[03:08] ---**
...Looks that way.
**[03:09] ---**
I'll never lose to the likes of you again!
**[03:11] ---**
Hit me with your best shot
- won't do ya no good!
**[03:14] ---**
I'm proud of you.
**[03:16] ---**
By George, you've got it, Otani!
**[03:18] ---**
Oh my, oh my?
**[03:20] ---**
Are you okay with not cheering for Maity?
**[03:24] ---**
Well, Sir Maity is very mighty indeed.
**[03:27] ---**
But you've gotta admire Otani.
**[03:29] ---**
He's tiny, but he doesn't
let it get him down.
**[03:32] ---**
He deserves a little praise.
**[03:36] ---**
So then, what's up between you and Otani?
**[03:39] ---**
What's up? Nothing, really...
***SIGN*** Fidget, fidget
**[03:42] ---**
There's just too much of nothing...
**[03:44] ---**
...that things are back the way they were.
**[03:48] ---**
Listen, you...
**[03:49] ---**
The comedic duo is making a comeback!
**[03:51] ---**
A comeback? Wait...
**[03:53] ---**
Why must you guys return to THAT paradigm?!
**[03:55] ---**
It's cool.
**[03:56] ---**
It's what feels the most relaxing to us.
**[03:59] ---**
Risa.
**[04:00] ---**
Do you realize the position
you're in right now?
**[04:03] ---**
When Otani said...
**[04:04] ---**
President Koizumi!
***SIGN*** Maity Love, Love-Love My-ty.
**[04:08] ---**
President...
**[04:09] ---**
Club Maity....it's d-disbanded, yes?
**[04:13] ---**
Say it isn't so!
**[04:14] ---**
Well, er...
**[04:16] ---**
It's horrible! Mr. Maity has a fiancee!
**[04:21] ---**
Seriously?!
**[04:25] ---**
I see...
**[04:28] ---**
It wasn't my intention to
conceal that information...
**[04:31] ---**
But I suppose the word got out.
**[04:33] ---**
All the girls were super depressed.
**[04:38] ---**
Won't you be depressed for me, Miss Koizumi?
**[04:40] ---**
Well, er, that's not exactly...
**[04:43] ---**
Mr. Maity, check this out.
**[04:45] ---**
Risa says she and Otani are
bringing back the comedic duo BS.
**[04:49] ---**
Will you please tell her she's being crazy?
**[04:50] ---**
Why'm I crazy?
**[04:51] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[04:54] ---**
Miss Koizumi, I wouldn't expect
you to be the timid type.
**[05:03] ---**
Well, in any case, I'm glad your
relationship with Otani is no longer strained.
**[05:09] ---**
Bye.
**[05:16] ---**
My magic spell still hasn't
worn off, Miss Koizumi.
**[05:20] ---**
Circle up! Circle up!
**[05:24] ---**
His sprained ankle is better and
he's at the top of his game!
**[05:27] ---**
The Basketball Inter-High
match is coming up as well.
**[05:29] ---**
He seems to be very inspired by that.
**[05:31] ---**
But I can't help but forget...
**[05:33] ---**
Just for your information,
pal, I'M the guy she likes!
**[05:36] ---**
She doesn't like you in the slightest!
**[05:40] ---**
Probably not...
**[05:43] ---**
...Jealousy?
**[05:47] ---**
Risa, what's on your mind?
**[05:49] ---**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[05:51] ---**
Stop it.
**[05:52] ---**
I've gotta stop it!
**[05:55] ---**
I won't embrace false hope.
**[05:57] ---**
We're back to normal! Back to normal.
**[06:02] ---**
Say, Risa...What are you gonna do now?
**[06:09] ---**
What can I do?
**[06:12] ---**
- Hi there.
- Darling!
**[06:14] ---**
- That hurt, pal!
**[06:14] ---**
- Nokuko! Darling! Nobuko!
**[06:15] ---**
- Ya didn't have to hit me!
**[06:18] ---**
- Yes, yes, my apologies.
**[06:25] ---**
What the hell was THAT for?!
**[06:27] ---**
Oh, my deepest apologies.
**[06:29] ---**
My darn legs are too long...
**[06:32] ---**
You're getting slapped, bitch.
**[06:33] ---**
Come back here!
**[06:38] ---**
You're not getting away with this!
**[06:40] ---**
It's slapping time!
**[06:41] ---**
Is Risa really okay with
things going back to normal?
**[07:04] ---**
Hey, will the basketball match
be on Saturday and Sunday?
**[07:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:08] ---**
Maybe I should go check it out.
**[07:09] ---**
Jeez, you've got no life.
**[07:10] ---**
I've made peace with that.
**[07:12] ---**
Got it! I'll make ya that "thing".
**[07:15] ---**
What "thing"?
**[07:16] ---**
Ya know, that cute little snack managers
and the like bring to their players.
**[07:21] ---**
Soy sauced lemons!
**[07:23] ---**
How would that even taste?
**[07:25] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[07:27] ---**
Rice vinegar'ed lemons!
***SIGN*** pewwwww
**[07:28] ---**
That would be BEYOND sour!
**[07:31] ---**
Stay away. Just stay away.
**[07:33] ---**
But why?
**[07:34] ---**
I'm just trying to be supportive.
**[07:36] ---**
If I ate that crap I'd probably die.
**[07:41] ---**
Well fine, then. Fine, then.
**[07:43] ---**
I'll just feed it to Mr. Maity instead.
**[07:45] ---**
Moron. Coach is coming back tomorrow.
**[07:48] ---**
That snob is done with basketball.
**[07:50] ---**
Good riddance!
**[07:54] ---**
So...he really is jealous?
**[08:00] ---**
What're ya shaking your head for?
**[08:02] ---**
Are you a dog or something?
**[08:05] ---**
As if!
**[08:07] ---**
That hurt.
**[08:11] ---**
Just a suggestion, put honey on the lemons.
**[08:23] ---**
That's right! It's supposed to be honey!
**[08:27] ---**
That's right. It's honey.
**[08:29] ---**
Don't mess it up.
**[08:33] ---**
Back to normal. Back to normal.
**[08:36] ---**
Did ya say something?
**[08:37] ---**
Not really.
**[08:38] ---**
What's up with you?
**[08:39] ---**
Nothing's up.
**[08:41] ---**
Honey'ed lemons, eh?
**[08:43] ---**
How tangy.
**[08:45] ---**
Awwww
**[08:48] ---**
I'm sick of all this comedic duo bullshit!
**[08:51] ---**
They just need to frickin'
hook up, for god's sake!
**[08:53] ---**
That's for sure.
**[08:55] ---**
If only Otani would make a move.
**[08:58] ---**
Tell me about it.
**[08:59] ---**
Otani holds the final key
to unlocking their romance.
**[09:03] ---**
Darling, why don't you have a talk with him.
**[09:05] ---**
No, I think we should leave
this up to the young lovers.
**[09:08] ---**
If we leave this up to them,
**[09:09] ---**
we'll be in a nursing home
by the time they hook up.
**[09:12] ---**
That's fer shore.
**[09:14] ---**
Yah.
**[09:31] ---**
Pin him down.
**[09:35] ---**
Pin Otani down and make him yours right now!
**[09:39] ---**
If you fail to do so, then I shall!
**[09:42] ---**
Why must I!
**[09:43] ---**
The sight of you two makes my blood boil!
**[09:45] ---**
Just hook up! Crap or get off the pot!
**[09:47] ---**
Don't be crazy! It's not as easy
as you're making it out to be.
**[09:50] ---**
It is SO easy.
**[09:51] ---**
No, it's not!
***SIGN*** Sigh
**[09:56] ---**
No matter.
**[09:58] ---**
I resolved not to embrace hope.
**[10:00] ---**
Not embrace hope?
**[10:02] ---**
But that doesn't mean you've
GIVEN UP hope, has it?
***SIGN*** Bingo
**[10:07] ---**
Wait a minute,
**[10:08] ---**
don't tell me you're gonna sit back
and wait until Otani asks you out?!
**[10:13] ---**
That's a bit extreme...
**[10:16] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[10:18] ---**
It's Otani.
**[10:20] ---**
Good morninnnng.
**[10:23] ---**
Waiting for THAT idiot to make a move...
**[10:26] ---**
is like trying to catch fish
in a public swimming pool.
**[10:29] ---**
But if you wait long enough,
a stray koi might swim by...
**[10:31] ---**
There's a pool I'd like to see.
**[10:36] ---**
What's up?
**[10:38] ---**
You look unusually chipper.
**[10:39] ---**
They're announcing which
teams are facing off today!
**[10:42] ---**
Oh, for basketball.
**[10:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:44] ---**
It's gonna be my last high school match.
**[10:47] ---**
I'm really looking forward to it!
**[10:51] ---**
Hey, wanna go shopping after school?
**[10:53] ---**
Sounds good.
**[11:02] ---**
What if we make it to the finals?
**[11:05] ---**
Like that'd ever happen.
**[11:06] ---**
I'm a man who gets things done!
**[11:09] ---**
Ya just might fall for me all over again!
**[11:12] ---**
Just kidding!
**[11:14] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[11:15] ---**
Sticks and stones may break my bones!
**[11:18] ---**
He really is stupid.
**[11:21] ---**
That's why I can't give up on him.
**[11:27] ---**
Otani...
**[11:29] ---**
I think...
**[11:31] ---**
I think...
**[11:32] ---**
I might start embracing a
little hope...is that okay?
**[11:40] ---**
Circle up!
**[11:43] ---**
Go for it...VICTORY!
**[11:50] ---**
They're almost TOO energized.
**[11:55] ---**
What's wrong?
**[11:56] ---**
They put Darling on the
bench, as I'd dreaded.
**[11:59] ---**
But you're still gonna go
support the team, right?
**[12:01] ---**
Of course I'll go...
**[12:03] ---**
Really? You're still coming?
**[12:05] ---**
- Darling!- Nakao.
**[12:07] ---**
Wait, what's that?
**[12:08] ---**
It's the lineup of the teams.
**[12:11] ---**
Lemme see, lemme see.
**[12:13] ---**
You're gonna flip.
**[12:16] ---**
Hey, since this is a big deal, why don't
we get Chiharu and Suzuki to come too?
**[12:21] ---**
Good idea!
**[12:23] ---**
Wh-wha-wha-wha...
**[12:26] ---**
WHAT????
**[12:30] ---**
What was that for?
**[12:33] ---**
Our school's first opponent is Kyogo,
the team who won last year's finals.
**[12:39] ---**
It's over.
**[12:40] ---**
Weren't you gonna go all
the way to the finals?
**[12:43] ---**
That is impossible.
**[12:44] ---**
That is impossible.
**[12:45] ---**
Oh, crap. He's gone robot on us.
**[12:47] ---**
Oh crap.
**[12:48] ---**
- This is crap.
**[12:49] ---**
- He's dead.
**[12:59] ---**
Okay!
**[13:00] ---**
Let's do this!
**[13:08] ---**
Miss Koizumi, I wouldn't expect
you to be the timid type.
**[13:12] ---**
That's right.
**[13:14] ---**
Maity is exactly right.
**[13:15] ---**
I'm just scared to find out how Otani feels.
**[13:20] ---**
Just a suggestion, put honey on the lemons.
**[13:24] ---**
If I keep...
**[13:27] ---**
If I keep pretending everything's fine,
**[13:29] ---**
If I keep doing nothing,
**[13:31] ---**
I'm sure I'll regret it.
**[13:33] ---**
It shouldn't matter how Otani feels about me.
**[13:37] ---**
So that's why...
**[13:49] ---**
She's late.
**[13:51] ---**
I wonder what's keeping Risa?
**[13:53] ---**
The match is about to start.
**[13:59] ---**
Good morning.
**[14:00] ---**
What's your problem!
**[14:01] ---**
It's too early in the
morning for a heart attack!
**[14:03] ---**
What's wrong? You look exhausted.
**[14:06] ---**
I spent all night making cheerleading goods.
**[14:09] ---**
Cheerleading goods.
***SIGN*** Otani FTW
***SIGN*** Club Otani -Risa
**[14:15] ---**
Starting today, you are all
proud members of Club Otani!
**[14:17] ---**

**[14:20] ---**

**[14:22] ---**
You're our man!

***SIGN*** Glooooom
**[14:33] ---**
There, there, Captain.
**[14:35] ---**
Don't be so gloomy.
**[14:37] ---**
Same goes to you guys.
**[14:40] ---**
I'll be cheering you guys
on from the bench. 'Kay?
**[14:44] ---**
Hi, are you Captain Otani?
**[14:51] ---**
Hey, man.
**[14:52] ---**
We be your first opponent, yeah?
**[14:55] ---**
Let's make good match, MAN.
**[14:57] ---**
Y-yes!
**[15:00] ---**
My...my...me...mine..
**[15:02] ---**
You...you're...you ...
**[15:05] ---**
Otani, be strong.
**[15:07] ---**
Yo-yo!
**[15:09] ---**
Club Otani in the house!
**[15:10] ---**
...in the house.
**[15:11] ---**
Dear god, why?
**[15:12] ---**
Dear god, why?
**[15:14] ---**
Oh, you're here!
**[15:16] ---**
Huh? Where's Otani?
**[15:18] ---**
He met the team he's up against
and got scared out of his mind.
**[15:20] ---**
Then he wandered off somewhere.
**[15:23] ---**
But isn't the match about to start?
**[15:25] ---**
In theory, yes...
**[15:26] ---**
Ah, no prob. I'll go find him.
**[15:32] ---**
Hey, they forced me into Club Otani.
**[15:35] ---**
I don't mind. I'm on the bench anyway.
**[15:38] ---**
Go support Otani.
**[15:41] ---**
Nakaochi Love!
**[15:44] ---**
Yaaaay.
**[15:49] ---**
Where did he go?
***SIGN*** Glooooom
**[15:56] ---**
What're ya doing?
***SIGN*** Sigh
**[15:58] ---**
I guess, technically...
**[16:00] ---**
I'm doing mental focus exercises.
**[16:03] ---**
What's that for?
**[16:04] ---**
Club Otani.
**[16:06] ---**
Say wha--
**[16:07] ---**
Come on, let's go.
**[16:08] ---**
You'll miss the match.
**[16:10] ---**
Why do ya have to wear that?
**[16:11] ---**
Club Otani? You're embarrassing me.
**[16:14] ---**
How dare you be embarrassed!
**[16:15] ---**
I'm just trying to be supportive!
**[16:17] ---**
I'm fine, really.
**[16:19] ---**
You don't need to be supportive.
**[16:22] ---**
We're gonna lose anyway.
**[16:24] ---**
If you put on such a big
show cheering for us,
**[16:26] ---**
we'll only look that much
more pathetic when we lose.
**[16:30] ---**
Otani!
**[16:31] ---**
You moron!
**[16:35] ---**
You weakling!
**[16:37] ---**
Even a winner can't win if he keeps
insisting he's gonna lose, you idiot!
**[16:41] ---**
But there's no way we can win.
**[16:42] ---**
No way.
**[16:44] ---**
Oh, really?
**[16:46] ---**
Is that so.
**[16:47] ---**
Very well, I get it.
**[16:48] ---**
I won't waste my time cheering
for a loser like you.
**[16:53] ---**
I'll call ya a "runt loser"
the rest of your life!
**[17:02] ---**
What's her problem?
**[17:06] ---**
What's this?
***SIGN*** Go for it, Otani!
**[17:36] ---**
What's this for?
**[17:38] ---**
You're leaving?
**[17:41] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:42] ---**
I'm leaving. Going home.
**[17:43] ---**
I'm sleepy from staying up all night.
**[17:45] ---**
How could you?!
**[17:47] ---**
After making a girl betray her
boyfriend by wearing this!
**[17:50] ---**
Hey, come back!
**[17:52] ---**
It's okay. I'm wearing it too.
**[17:54] ---**
Just a minute...
**[17:55] ---**
I don't wanna watch a pointless match.
**[17:57] ---**
Did something happen?
**[17:58] ---**
I'd never...
**[18:00] ---**
I'd never wanna watch that runt
loser who doesn't give a crap...
**[18:02] ---**
Who're you callin' a "runt loser"!
**[18:07] ---**
Who's leaving?
**[18:09] ---**
Can't ya wait to leave AFTER
I've played the game of my life?
**[18:11] ---**
Otani...
**[18:12] ---**
It's Otani.
**[18:14] ---**
I said I didn't wanna support
someone who doesn't give a crap.
**[18:16] ---**
Ya moron. You totally want to.
**[18:20] ---**
Been a while since ya got me.
**[18:21] ---**
With your moron-punch.
**[18:25] ---**
Watch closely.
**[18:26] ---**
I'll make ya fall for me even more.
**[18:29] ---**
...I said I don't wanna.
**[18:31] ---**
Sticks and stones! Sticks and stones!
**[18:35] ---**
Is he for real?
***SIGN*** Kyogo High
***SIGN*** Maido High
**[18:42] ---**
What PLANET are they from?
**[18:43] ---**
It's not even a fair match height wise.
**[18:46] ---**
Will they be okay?
**[18:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[18:49] ---**
Of course they will!
**[18:50] ---**
Otani is a man who gets things done!
**[19:07] ---**
Wow, Otani's really doing well.
**[19:09] ---**
He passed right through those giants!
**[19:13] ---**
Otani!
**[19:24] ---**
All right!
**[19:28] ---**
Otani!
**[19:32] ---**
Go for it!
**[19:45] ---**
Um...
**[19:46] ---**
What did you put on these lemons?
**[19:48] ---**
Mi...
**[19:49] ---**
"Mi"?
**[19:51] ---**
...Mirin.
**[19:52] ---**
Mirin??
**[19:54] ---**
We were out of honey.
**[19:57] ---**
Good thing I didn't eat
these before the match.
**[19:59] ---**
Ungrateful brat! I stayed
up all night to make that!
**[20:09] ---**
Thanks.
**[20:12] ---**
Well, I feel bad losing after
all the support you gave me.
**[20:16] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[20:18] ---**
You looked really cool.
**[20:20] ---**
Oh, really.
**[20:22] ---**
I fell for you again.
**[20:28] ---**
You helped me play my best.
**[20:31] ---**
Oh, really.
**[20:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:43] ---**
Hey...
**[20:44] ---**
You said you were gonna stop liking me.
**[20:48] ---**
Don't stop.
**[21:00] ---**
I guess I should've noticed sooner...
**[21:03] ---**
But... I think I need you in my life.
**[21:17] ---**
Listen, won't ya?
**[21:30] ---**
Well, that's okay.
**[21:34] ---**
Risa, you moron!
**[21:35] ---**
What did you do NOW?!
**[21:36] ---**
Now, now, now...
**[21:50] [SONG] ---**
The setting sun hurries for the distant sky
**[21:55] [SONG] ---**
It pauses for a moment and
shows me pastel colored dreams
**[22:00] [SONG] ---**
Alone, I cannot shine. Neither can I be hurt.
**[22:05] [SONG] ---**
I realize that love is something
that must be shared.
**[22:10] [SONG] ---**
Why am I here? Why are you with me?
**[22:15] [SONG] ---**
Why am I here? Why are you laughing with me?
**[22:20] [SONG] ---**
Always and forever, I want to stay like this.
**[22:33] [SONG] ---**
In the moment my heart begins to dance,
**[22:36] [SONG] ---**
Echoing voices embrace us.
**[22:43] [SONG] ---**
The pounding of your heart
reaches my fingertips.
**[22:46] [SONG] ---**
And it is so warm; unbelievably warm.
**[23:06] ---**
Koizumi, what do ya want for your birthday?
**[23:08] ---**
I don't need a pretty ring
or anything like that.
**[23:10] ---**
What I want is your love, Otani!
**[23:12] ---**
That's not for sale!
