**[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!
**[00:18] [SONG] ---**
We'll surely find our dreams in the
future. Come on, everybody, follow me!
**[00:23] [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.
**[00:43] [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] ---**
We're gonna lose anyway.
**[01:34] ---**
Otani!
**[01:36] ---**
You moron!
**[01:39] ---**
You weakling!
**[01:50] ---**
Go for it!
**[01:55] ---**
I should've realized this sooner, but...
**[01:58] ---**
I think I need you in my life.
***SIGN*** "The Best Birthday In History"
**[02:19] ---**
I think I need you in my life.
**[02:23] ---**
Otani...
**[02:25] ---**
And so, tomorrow we will
enter into summer vacation.
**[02:29] ---**
Woah, there!
**[02:31] ---**
I feel the same way!
**[02:32] ---**
Koizumi!
**[02:35] ---**
Got any plans this summer?
**[02:36] ---**
Let's see...
**[02:40] ---**
I just had a great dream.
**[02:45] ---**
Summer.
**[02:46] ---**
This'll be my last summer
vacation in high school.
**[02:49] ---**
I still have no clue how
Otani feels about me,
**[02:52] ---**
but let's set that aside
and play our hearts out!
***SIGN*** Mandatory Summer School
**[02:59] ---**
I suppose you kids had forgotten you've
got college exams to study for.
**[03:02] ---**
Yes. I'd completely forgotten.
***SIGN*** Summer School
**[03:05] ---**
The little dummies I call will be
required to come to Summer School.
***SIGN*** Little dummies.
**[03:10] ---**
You need to make up for the pathetic
blunders you made all semester.
**[03:15] ---**
Understood? Summer vacation never
comes to a high school senior.
**[03:19] ---**
God, no!
**[03:20] ---**
Not my wonderful summer vacation...
***SIGN*** Little dummy
**[03:30] ---**
Chiharu and Suzuki were the only
ones with big smartie heads.
**[03:34] ---**
Wellll, that's probably
because she and Suzuki...
**[03:37] ---**
went on "dates" every day at the library.
**[03:39] ---**
N-no, they weren't dates; we were studying.
**[03:41] ---**
Ah, but I'm coming to summer school anyway.
**[03:44] ---**
And here I was hoping I'd get some playtime.
**[03:47] ---**
Playtime, my ass!
**[03:49] ---**
You were asleep during a crucial moment and
missed out on hearing vital information!
**[03:53] ---**
Hey, why've ya been so mad at me lately?
**[03:57] ---**
Summer school again, eh?
**[03:59] ---**
With Basketball over,
**[04:01] ---**
I was hoping I'd get to spend the
summer having continuous playtime.
**[04:04] ---**
But isn't vacation supposed to be an
opportunity to focus on one's studies?
**[04:09] ---**
Well, at least I'll be able to see Otani
over the summer without inventing some excuse.
**[04:15] ---**
I guess I'm okay with it.
**[04:17] ---**
Nobuko, you and Nakao should've
gone on dates at the library, too.
**[04:21] ---**
Smug advice - coming from someone
whose tests are full of red marks.
**[04:29] ---**
So hot!
**[04:31] ---**
It's so hot!
**[04:33] ---**
She's melting!
**[04:35] ---**
Aw, crap.
**[04:37] ---**
Wanna go cool off somewhere?
**[04:39] ---**
Agreed!
**[04:43] ---**
I'm in paradise!
**[04:44] ---**
I've come back to life!
**[04:46] ---**
Have you decided on your order?
**[04:48] ---**
Ah, yes, yes, my order...
**[04:50] ---**
Let's see...
***SIGN*** New - Polynesian Dancer
**[04:53] ---**
New menu item?
**[04:54] ---**
I'd better get this one.
**[04:56] ---**
Polynesian Dancer!
**[05:00] ---**
Don't copy me!
**[05:01] ---**
Hey, YOU copied ME!
**[05:05] ---**
I'll have the Drink Bar.
**[05:06] ---**
Oh, I'll have that too.
**[05:08] ---**
Me too.
**[05:08] ---**
Me too.
**[05:09] ---**
Understood. Coming right up.
**[05:17] ---**
Huh?
**[05:18] ---**
Chiharu, that ring sure is cute!
**[05:21] ---**
Oh, thanks.
**[05:23] ---**
Where'd you get that?
**[05:24] ---**
Umm...
**[05:26] ---**
Did Suzuki give you that?
**[05:29] ---**
It was your birthday just
a little while ago, huh.
**[05:32] ---**
Yeah...
**[05:33] ---**
Woah, what a stud.
**[05:34] ---**
You're a stud, Suzuki.
**[05:36] ---**
Now, don't say that...
**[05:37] ---**
N-Nobuko also got something for her birthday.
**[05:40] ---**
Yep! A cute purse!
**[05:42] ---**
Sorry it was only a knockoff...
**[05:44] ---**
No, no, it came from the heart.
**[05:47] ---**
I love you, Nobuko!
**[05:49] ---**
I love you, lots, Darling!
**[05:51] ---**
Well, I love you lots, lots, lots!
**[05:53] ---**
- Love ya!
**[05:53] ---**
- Lucky ducks...
**[05:56] ---**
Hey, that reminds me! It's
almost Risa's birthday!
**[06:06] ---**
Grin, grin, grin, grin...
**[06:10] ---**
WHAT is with this creepy atmosphere??
**[06:12] ---**
Otani, dear, you are most definitely
getting Risa-bell a present, no?
**[06:18] ---**
According to recent intelligence, he "can't
live without her" or something like that.
**[06:21] ---**
Ohhh? Was that a marriage proposal?
**[06:24] ---**
Wha...were you guys eavesdropping?!
**[06:27] ---**
Yes, we overheard.
**[06:28] ---**
- What?
- I never said I couldn't live without her!
**[06:31] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:32] ---**
Shut up! This has nothing to do with you!
**[06:35] ---**
Hey! Don't give me that!
Now I'm even more curious!
**[06:37] ---**
Shut up! Keep quiet!
**[06:40] ---**
Who ordered the Polynesian Dancer?
**[06:42] ---**
Ah, arrived at last! My Polynesian Dancer!
**[06:51] ---**
Starrrrrre...
**[06:54] ---**
Very Polynesian.
**[06:55] ---**
How d'ya figure that?
**[06:57] ---**
What was that all about?
**[07:13] ---**
Koizumi!
**[07:19] ---**
'Ssup!
**[07:21] ---**
Hmmmph.
**[07:25] ---**
Jeez, fine, I get it!
**[07:27] ---**
What do you want!
**[07:29] ---**
For your birthday, what do you want!
**[07:34] ---**
...Nothing.
**[07:36] ---**
I'm just trying to be nice!
**[07:38] ---**
What were you guys talking about yesterday?
**[07:40] ---**
That...doesn't matter.
**[07:43] ---**
But it does SO matter!
**[07:44] ---**
No one will explain to me. It's
confusing and pisses me off!
**[07:47] ---**
Never mind, just tell me what you want!
**[07:50] ---**
Nothing. No, thanks.
**[07:51] ---**
Listen, you,
**[07:52] ---**
Ya better not complain when your birthday
rolls around and I don't get ya anything.
**[07:55] ---**
For the last time, I don't want anything!
**[08:05] ---**
Why must you always make
things more complicated!
**[08:09] ---**
I just got caught in the moment, and--
**[08:11] ---**
MORON!
**[08:12] ---**
But, Nobuko!
**[08:14] ---**
It's true!
**[08:16] ---**
I really don't want a purse
or a ring or anything.
**[08:18] ---**
There's just one thing I want!
**[08:22] ---**
Otani's love - and that's it!
**[08:28] ---**
Keep your lips off me!
**[08:31] ---**
I'm home.
**[08:35] ---**
So hot!
**[08:44] ---**
What a nice breeze.
**[08:51] ---**
Birthday, eh?
**[08:53] ---**
That's right, last year on my birthday...
**[08:55] ---**
I like YOU, Otani!
**[09:02] ---**
What was that for all of a sudden?
**[09:03] ---**
You're making me blush!
**[09:06] ---**
He didn't take me seriously...
**[09:10] ---**
And well, it's been a year since then...
**[09:17] ---**
Sea Monk!!
**[09:24] ---**
Maybe someone like you
is a better match for me.
**[09:29] ---**
What do you mean?
**[09:31] ---**
Just talkin' to myself.
**[09:37] ---**
I'm a moron!
**[09:39] ---**
That hurt!
**[09:42] ---**
Keep it!
**[09:45] ---**
K...Koizumi...
**[09:56] ---**
Koizumi...
**[09:58] ---**
Forget it.
**[10:01] ---**
I quit.
**[10:03] ---**
I quit having feelings for you, Otani!
**[10:08] ---**
We sure went through a lot...
**[10:11] ---**
But I wonder if all my hard work paid off?
**[10:14] ---**
He "can't live without her"
or something like that.
**[10:18] ---**
I never said I couldn't live without her!
**[10:21] ---**
What was that all about?
**[10:28] ---**
If you're gonna buy something
for her, make a decision quick.
**[10:31] ---**
We're really standing out in this store...
**[10:34] ---**
I think she'd like anything here.
**[10:38] ---**
I give up.
**[10:39] ---**
I give up!
**[10:40] ---**
This is so stupid. This isn't like me.
**[10:42] ---**
Are ya sure?
**[10:44] ---**
And don't even think about Sea
Monk merch - you'll kill the buzz.
**[10:48] ---**
Why do I have to feed your buzz?
**[10:56] ---**
I hope something nice happens
on my birthday this year.
**[11:08] ---**
Risa.
**[11:09] ---**
Miss Risa!
**[11:11] ---**
Oh?
**[11:13] ---**
Haruka? You have summer school, too?
**[11:15] ---**
Nope. I just came here to see you.
**[11:17] ---**
Mr. Haruka may not look very
bright, but he's very organized.
**[11:20] ---**
So he always scores highly on tests.
**[11:23] ---**
Seiko...

**[11:35] ---**
Yep! We're gonna make a cake and some
yummy food and throw a little party!
**[11:38] ---**
Everyone's invited!
**[11:42] ---**
You guys sure are nice!
**[11:45] ---**
Right? Fall for me if ya want.
**[11:46] ---**

**[11:48] ---**
That's not fair!
**[11:49] ---**
Oh, fine!
**[11:50] ---**
I'll MAKE ya fall for me when you
see how wonderful the party is!
**[11:56] ---**
Mr. Otani!
**[11:58] ---**
Here, for you.
**[12:00] ---**
What is it?
**[12:01] ---**
A flier for Miss Koizumi's birthday party!
**[12:03] ---**
I hope you come!
**[12:05] ---**
Koizumi's party?
**[12:06] ---**
Guess I'll have to invite ya.
**[12:07] ---**
It's better that than letting
you be with her alone.
**[12:12] ---**
Mr. Haruka, did you really have
such ulterior motives all along?
**[12:18] ---**
Sneer all you want!
**[12:19] ---**
But I'll be damned if I let
anyone hog Risa on her birthday.
**[12:22] ---**
You're horrible!
**[12:23] ---**
I wanna celebrate with her too!
**[12:29] ---**
I hear Nakao and Nobuko and the
others are coming to the party.
**[12:33] ---**
Mr. Maity is also coming.
**[12:37] ---**
What about you?
**[12:39] ---**
Are you coming?
**[12:40] ---**
You don't want me to celebrate
your birthday, though.
**[12:44] ---**
You said you didn't want a present.
**[12:47] ---**
Th-that's not what I meant!
**[12:50] ---**
Then what did you mean?
**[12:51] ---**
What did you mean when you said
you couldn't live without me?
**[12:55] ---**
B...But I keep saying, I never said that!
**[12:58] ---**
When did this happen?
**[13:00] ---**
When I was asleep at the game?
**[13:01] ---**
No! I didn't say anything!
**[13:05] ---**
Those guys need some serious slapping!
**[13:08] ---**
Hey, what about the party?
**[13:09] ---**
I don't give a rat's ass!
**[13:10] ---**
Otani!
**[13:15] ---**
What's his problem?
**[13:24] ---**
Sorry!
**[13:25] ---**
I'm la...
**[13:36] ---**
You...scared...me...
**[13:45] ---**
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
**[13:49] ---**
Thanks! Thanks!
**[13:51] ---**
Mr. Gorilla sure kept you long.
**[13:54] ---**
What was he talking to you about?
**[13:56] ---**
Well, I DID score terribly on my tests.
**[14:00] ---**
Huh? Where's Otani?
**[14:04] ---**
He's not here?
**[14:06] ---**
Nope.
**[14:06] ---**
We assumed he was with you.
**[14:12] ---**
Hey, what about the party?
**[14:13] ---**
I don't give a rat's ass!
**[14:18] ---**
Then...maybe he went home?
**[14:21] ---**
Screw that guy!
**[14:23] ---**
Come on in, Risa.
**[14:25] ---**
Mr. Haruka.
**[14:27] ---**
I certainly HOPE you haven't DONE anything...
**[14:29] ---**
I ain't done nothin'!
**[14:31] ---**
Ah! He's being defensive - how fishy!
**[14:33] ---**
Listen, you!
**[14:34] ---**
Ah! Even more defensive...
**[14:36] ---**
Just leave me alone!!
**[14:38] ---**
My, my. Let's let bygones be bygones.
**[14:40] ---**
"Bygones"?
**[14:45] ---**
Happy birthday, Miss Koizumi.
**[14:47] ---**
Mr. Maity!
**[14:50] ---**
These are for you.
**[14:52] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[14:54] ---**
Come, have a seat.
**[14:56] ---**
You are the star today.
**[14:58] ---**
That's right!
**[14:59] ---**
I made all of this with you in mind.
**[15:03] ---**
It smells freaking delicious!
**[15:05] ---**
I'm so hungry!
**[15:07] ---**
Wait, Risa, what about Otani?
**[15:10] ---**
Awesome! This cake is freaking adorable!
**[15:13] ---**
Isn't it?
**[15:14] ---**
I decorated it!
**[15:16] ---**
Feast your eyes on this!
**[15:17] ---**
Your favorite - chirashi-zushi
(sushi salad), right?
**[15:20] ---**
Fried chicken, and sandwiches!
**[15:22] ---**
Tako-yaki (octopus) and French fries!
**[15:23] ---**
And Napolitan! (Japanese
pasta flavored with ketchup)
**[15:29] ---**
He's not picking up. I wonder where he is?
**[15:32] ---**
What the hell is going on?! I'm so annoyed!
**[15:35] ---**
- I almost feel bad eating it.
**[15:35] ---**
- I'm SURE that he finally
feels the same way about her!!
**[15:36] ---**
- But I made it specifically for you to eat.
**[15:38] ---**
I guess so!
**[15:43] ---**
I'll be just fine.
**[15:45] ---**
Even without Otani around,
**[15:47] ---**
I've got all my friends to help me celebrate.
**[15:50] ---**
That was freaking delicious!
**[15:53] ---**
You're welcome.
**[15:57] ---**
Do you guys hear that noise outside?
**[16:00] ---**
Yeah. It's probably fireworks.
**[16:02] ---**
That's right, I think today
they're having fireworks.
**[16:04] ---**
Is that so?
**[16:06] ---**
If we go to the roof, we
might be able to see them.
**[16:08] ---**
Fireworks...
**[16:10] ---**
That's right, last year I...
**[16:12] ---**
Risa, let's go up to the roof!
**[16:19] ---**
I can see them!
**[16:21] ---**
How pretty!
**[16:25] ---**
Wow, how pretty.
**[16:29] ---**
Awesome!
**[16:31] ---**
Looks like stars!
**[16:37] ---**
So pretty...
**[16:47] ---**
Look at the fireworks and cheer up!
**[16:49] ---**
Wow, they really are pretty.
**[16:56] ---**
I can't do this.
**[16:59] ---**
I need Otani with me,
**[17:02] ---**
otherwise the fireworks won't be pretty.
**[17:05] ---**
And I won't cheer up.
**[17:09] ---**
This's legit. You've got a text.
**[17:12] ---**
This's legit. You've got a text.
**[17:14] ---**
A text?
***SIGN*** Otani
**[17:17] [SONG] ---**
Turn around.
**[17:32] ---**
Wow, they're so huge!
**[17:46] ---**
What's this?
**[17:47] ---**
Harassment.
**[17:50] ---**
A present.
**[17:51] ---**
You lie!
**[17:52] ---**
Why would I lie?
**[17:54] ---**
Can I open it?
**[17:55] ---**
Too bad, I'm opening it!
**[17:57] ---**
It's not really my thing.
**[17:58] ---**
But I've seen you with lots of
bunny things, so I figured...
**[18:03] ---**
It's freaking adorable!
**[18:06] ---**
Not so loud!
**[18:07] ---**
People will find us.
**[18:08] ---**
That hurrrrt.
**[18:10] ---**
What's in that bag anyway?
**[18:11] ---**
Fireworks. I bought them at the corner store.
**[18:14] ---**
Then let's invite the others over to--
**[18:16] ---**
We can do that later!
**[18:17] ---**
Just put that thing away, quick!
**[18:20] ---**
Away?
**[18:26] ---**
If they found out I bought you
something girly like that,
**[18:29] ---**
they'll never stop teasing me about it.
**[18:35] ---**
Were you late because
you were buying me this?
**[18:39] ---**
Where did you buy it?
**[18:40] ---**
Why does it matter?
**[18:45] ---**
He's come here to buy a girl a present?
**[18:47] ---**
Aww, how sweet!
**[18:52] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:53] ---**
I'm freaking ecstatic!
**[18:57] ---**
...Really?
**[18:58] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:04] ---**
I didn't think you were gonna show.
**[19:12] ---**
And I just realized that
I need you in my life.
**[19:19] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:22] ---**
Hey, are you listening?
**[19:24] ---**
Yeah, I'm listening.
**[19:26] ---**
I also...said the same thing...after
the basketball match.
**[19:32] ---**
But SOMEONE was fast asleep
and didn't hear me.
**[19:39] ---**
I should've realized this sooner, but...
**[19:41] ---**
I think I need you in my life.
**[19:47] ---**
So...
**[19:49] ---**
That wasn't a dream?
**[19:55] ---**
Koizumi...
**[20:23] ---**
Can't ya make a more pleasant expression?
**[20:28] ---**
Heh? What? Well...
**[20:31] ---**
Are ya sick again? Are
you delirious with fever?
**[20:35] ---**
No, I'm not.
**[20:37] ---**
Oh, you're not.
**[20:38] ---**
You're not...
**[20:43] ---**
Don't laugh.
**[21:11] ---**
So...What is this?
**[21:15] ---**
Am I still dreaming?
**[21:25] ---**
I don't think so...this isn't a dream.
**[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?
**[22:21] [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.
**[22:44] [SONG] ---**
The pounding of your heart
reaches my fingertips.
**[22:47] [SONG] ---**
And it is so warm; unbelievably warm.
**[23:06] ---**
I have my first date with Otani today!
**[23:07] ---**
You're late!
**[23:08] ---**
At least buy me a soda.
**[23:10] ---**
Agh! I forgot my purse.
**[23:11] ---**
Are you a moron?!
