**[00:08] [SONG] ---**
When you asked me how I felt about you
**[00:14] [SONG] ---**
I said, "You're okay, I guess."
**[00:20] [SONG] ---**
Wait, are you crying?
**[00:25] [SONG] ---**
Oh!
**[00:26] [SONG] ---**
Now I think you might be cute.
**[00:31] [SONG] ---**
Then you tried to run away so I grabbed your hand.
**[00:37] [SONG] ---**
And something deep within my heart began to dance.
**[00:43] [SONG] ---**
I wish there were a textbook for romance.
**[00:49] [SONG] ---**
There are just too many problems I don't understand.
**[00:55] [SONG] ---**
I wish there were a teacher for romance.
**[01:01] [SONG] ---**
If I add You + Me
**[01:03] [SONG] ---**
Will the answer be "Love"?
**[01:15] ---**
Then I challenge you!
**[01:17] ---**
Whichever of us gets a boyfriend/girlfriend first...
**[01:20] ---**
If I win, what do I get?
**[01:22] ---**
I'll buy you your favorite game.
**[01:24] ---**
And if I win, you're buying me new basketball sneakers!
**[01:28] ---**
Challenge accepted!
**[01:30] ---**
I'm gonna win!

Tryin' to be sexy? Disgusting.
**[01:56] ---**
All the girls are gonna ask me out today.
**[01:58] ---**
Then you'll have to buy me new sneakers.
**[02:02] ---**
Don't tell me you seriously think spiking your hair will get you chicks.
**[02:06] ---**
Don't tell me YOU seriously think lipstick will get you guys.
**[02:14] ---**
Think fast!
**[02:20] ---**
Nobuko, Chiharu, let's go home!
**[02:26] ---**
Hey, Darling, what'cha wanna do?
**[02:28] ---**
I dunno...
**[02:31] ---**
This is so awkward.
**[02:33] ---**
The feeling is mutual.
**[02:36] ---**
Why do YOU have to come with us?
**[02:39] ---**
I'm going to Nakao's house.
**[02:41] ---**
I need help after SOMEONE ruined my hairstyle and made me late this morning.
**[02:44] ---**
You're STILL pissed about that?
**[02:46] ---**
You're not only small bodied - you're small minded.
**[02:48] ---**
I'm gonna sue!
**[02:50] ---**
Be my guest.

Chiharu, Suzuki, won't you try it?

**[03:11] ---**
Sure.
**[03:13] ---**
Gotcha! Gotcha!
**[03:14] ---**
Hey! Hey!
**[03:26] ---**
What do you want?
**[03:27] ---**
Nobuko, you're ordering a full meal?
**[03:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:30] ---**
Oh yeah, Otani, wanna go to a Sea Monk concert?
**[03:34] ---**
A friend of mine had two extra tickets,
**[03:36] ---**
but he can't find anyone who wants them.
**[03:39] ---**
Sea Monk? For real? I'll go!
**[03:43] ---**
Koizumi, you like him too?
**[03:44] ---**
I freaking LOVE him! He's so sick.
**[03:47] ---**
Isn't he? He's SO sick!
**[03:49] ---**
Did you hear his new track?
**[03:50] ---**
Of course I did! It was freaking AWESOME!
**[03:53] ---**
I'm so glad you like it. That track is so sick.
**[03:55] ---**
Yeah, it is!
**[03:56] ---**
Why don't you two go out?
**[03:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:59] ---**
Huh?
**[04:00] ---**
What the hell are you suggesting?!
**[04:02] ---**
You're always in perfect sync with each other.
**[04:04] ---**
I think you're probably very compatible too.
**[04:06] ---**
In what way, specifically?
**[04:08] ---**
In the Sea Monk way, specifically.
**[04:11] ---**
Just a coincidence - great balls of fire!
**[04:13] ---**
A lady shouldn't say "balls".
**[04:16] ---**
It's an IDIOM - I didn't mean "TESTICLES"!
**[04:17] ---**
See? No way would I date this crass woman.
**[04:20] ---**
You're one to talk, Mister!
**[04:22] ---**
Um, are you ready to order?
**[04:25] ---**
Ah, give me a minute, please...

See?
**[04:41] ---**
You're! Wrong!
**[04:46] ---**
I wanna meet my prince!
**[04:50] ---**
Like I said, just go with Otani.
**[04:52] ---**
- Right, Chiharu?
- Yeah.
**[04:54] ---**
Stop it! Why would I date such a runt?
**[04:56] ---**
I can't date someone unless he's taller than me.
**[04:59] ---**
But Otani is actually a catch.
**[05:01] ---**
There she goes again. You're a very funny girl...
**[05:04] ---**
If you doubt me, wanna check out basketball practice after school?
**[05:16] ---**
Look. Those girls.
**[05:18] ---**
They're probably a couple years older than him...
**[05:22] ---**
He caught the ball!
**[05:23] ---**
Go for it!
**[05:24] ---**
...And they're always squealing over Otani.
**[05:28] ---**
Seriously?
**[05:34] ---**
Woah, for a runt he's not bad.
**[05:38] ---**
Wow, he jumps really high.
**[05:41] ---**
Hey, Otani!
**[05:43] ---**
You're little - you're in no position to hog the glory and go for a dunk there!
**[05:46] ---**
- Why is the coach yelling at him?
**[05:46] ---**
- Pass it to a different player next time!
**[05:48] ---**
- He made the shot.
**[05:50] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:51] ---**
Know your place, runt.
**[05:54] ---**
Wow, that old man is really pissing me off!
**[05:56] ---**
Now, now...
**[05:59] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[06:02] ---**
Aww! That stupid coach yelled at him again.
**[06:04] ---**
That's for sure!
**[06:06] ---**
- Cuuuuuute!
**[06:07] ---**
- See?
**[06:08] ---**
- Bless his little heart!
**[06:09] ---**
- He's "cute"?
**[06:10] ---**
- Poor thing!
**[06:11] ---**
- That's right! Little people can always play that card!
**[06:14] ---**
That's playing dirty...
**[06:20] ---**
What's with the ugly face?
**[06:23] ---**
Awww, using the widdle flower pins to makes you pwetty?
**[06:27] ---**
Huh? These're my sister's.
**[06:29] ---**
Awww, what a cute widdle boy.
**[06:32] ---**
You wook wike a girl.
**[06:36] ---**
You wanna fist in your mouth?!
**[06:38] ---**
I won't let you beat me!
**[06:40] ---**
You think I'm gonna buy you sneakers?
**[06:43] ---**
You're buying me a mountain of new video games instead!
**[06:49] ---**
What's eating her?
**[06:51] ---**
I've gotta do something!
**[06:53] ---**
I've just gotta...
**[06:56] ---**
That's it!
**[06:57] ---**
Nobuko!
**[06:58] ---**
A group date! Group date!
**[07:02] ---**
Group date?
**[07:05] ---**
All right! I'm gonna bag me a hottie tonight.
**[07:09] ---**
Risa!
**[07:10] ---**
Sorry I'm late.

**[07:20] ---**
Dog...
**[07:21] ---**
And a pig?
**[07:23] ---**
Hello!
**[07:25] ---**
Craaaaash.
**[07:27] ---**
What is this, a zoo?
**[07:32] ---**
Oh well, I like the zoo.
**[07:34] ---**
Zoos are fun.
**[07:36] ---**
I'm a giraffe as it is.
**[07:40] ---**
Fine. It's okay. I'm okay with this.
**[07:42] ---**
It's what's inside that counts.
**[07:45] ---**
Koziumi, dearrrr.
**[07:49] ---**
What's wrong? You need to let loose more.
**[07:57] ---**
By the way, how tall are you?
**[08:02] ---**
...There it is.
**[08:03] ---**
170cm. (5'7)
**[08:05] ---**
Wow, that's tall.
**[08:08] ---**
If you're that tall already, you'll be 3 meters by the time you graduate.
**[08:13] ---**
Just kidding.
**[08:18] ---**
Oh, you.
**[08:18] ---**
Aren't I funny?
**[08:21] ---**
People always laugh at me!
**[08:24] ---**
Well, I just can't laugh.
**[08:26] ---**
I'm always treated this way.
**[08:35] ---**
Hey, how'd it go last night?
**[08:37] ---**
Can't you tell by my depressed face?
**[08:39] ---**
Risa, your standards are unrealistically high.
**[08:41] ---**
Hey! You have a boyfriend!
**[08:43] ---**
You have no right to brush off my plight by saying my ideals are too high!
**[08:46] ---**
Sure, I've got a list of qualities I'm looking for,
**[08:47] ---**
But I don't actually think the perfect guy exists...
**[08:51] ---**
Sob, sob, sob
***SIGN*** Flood
**[08:55] ---**
You're right! My ideals are too high.
**[08:58] ---**
Risa...
**[08:59] ---**
I know.
**[09:01] ---**
As a person...as a woman, I'm in trouble.
**[09:05] ---**
You're in trouble, Koizumi.
**[09:07] ---**
I know! I'm a very troubled person.
**[09:11] ---**
No, I mean this. Very bad news.
***SIGN*** Sea Monk 3 Day Tour
**[09:19] ---**
It's a Sea Monk ticket!
**[09:21] ---**
Nakao just gave it to me.
**[09:23] ---**
It's a Sea Monk CHRISTMAS Concert.
**[09:25] ---**
Christm...!
**[09:26] ---**
December 25th, the most romantic day of the year.
**[09:33] ---**
W-Why do I have to spend my Christmas with you like a LOSER?
**[09:37] ---**
Beats me! And I'd ask the exact same thing!
**[09:40] ---**
OF YOU!!
**[09:44] ---**
Moronic. Dear lord, why?
**[09:46] ---**
Egads, why?
**[09:49] ---**
What country are you guys from?
**[09:51] ---**
It's okay. You can go together.
**[09:53] ---**
No!
**[09:53] ---**
Why must the All Hanshin Kyojin...
**[09:55] ---**
desecrate the romantic streets of Christmas with our awkward presence?
**[09:58] ---**
Maybe you'll get caught in the flow of Christmas and find romance!
**[10:01] ---**
If this chick gets caught in a flow, she'll clog up the drain.
**[10:04] ---**
I'll clog YOUR drain!
**[10:15] ---**
Even if we walk side by side in the romantic streets of Christmas day,
**[10:21] ---**
I doubt romance will blossom.
***SIGN*** English Lessons
**[10:24] ---**
You sneeze like an old man.
**[10:27] ---**
I've been feeling sickish lately.
**[10:28] ---**
Are ya taking this boyfriend stuff seriously?
**[10:30] ---**
I am, I am! Our challenge still isn't over.
**[10:34] ---**
You have no plans for Christmas, do ya.
**[10:41] ---**
Nope.
**[10:42] ---**
Let's just go straight to the concert and straight home.
**[10:44] ---**
Wouldn't want romance to bloom in the wrong climate
**[10:48] ---**
Even if we took our time going there and back,
**[10:51] ---**
I doubt romance would bloom.
**[10:54] ---**
Probably right.
**[10:56] ---**
I mean, what's your type anyway?
**[11:00] ---**
My type?
**[11:01] ---**
At the very least, someone who doesn't sneeze like a man in his sixties.
**[11:04] ---**
When a lady sneezes, she delicately puts a hand to her mouth...
**[11:09] ---**
See, like that.
**[11:17] ---**
A Chiharu with different colored hair?
**[11:20] ---**
Is that even possible?
**[11:22] ---**
But...but...
**[11:24] ---**
There's two Chiharus??
**[11:27] ---**
Kanzaki...
**[11:29] ---**
Atsushi.
**[11:36] ---**
What's going on?
**[11:43] ---**
Kanzaki...
**[11:44] ---**
Atsushi.
**[11:49] ---**
"Atsushi"? Who's that?
**[11:52] ---**
Me.
**[11:54] ---**
Long time no see.
**[11:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:57] ---**
You doing okay?
**[11:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:00] ---**
That scared me.
**[12:02] ---**
She really looks exactly like Chiharu.
**[12:06] ---**
Um, so, I've got somewhere to be...
**[12:19] ---**
Hey, hey, Atsushi, who was that?
**[12:21] ---**
Doesn't matter.
**[12:23] ---**
Oh please, Atsushi, you can tell me!
**[12:27] ---**
Something's up, you dog.
**[12:30] ---**
...She's my ex-girlfriend.
**[12:39] ---**
Your ex-girlfriend?
**[12:41] ---**
You DATED her??
**[12:42] ---**
Is it really THAT hard to believe?
**[12:44] ---**
Are you telling the truth?
**[12:46] ---**
Why would I lie?
**[12:49] ---**
I don't see it! You're too Otani-ish for her!
**[12:51] ---**
Listen, you...
**[12:52] ---**
If a person's 15 or 16, he's bound to have dated at least once!
**[12:56] ---**
Well, I haven't!
**[12:57] ---**
Is that something to brag about?
**[13:02] ---**
Shock...
**[13:03] ---**
Shock to the highest.
**[13:08] ---**
Otani has an ex-girlfriend?
**[13:11] ---**
He's way too Otani-ish for that!
**[13:14] ---**
Hey, so Nakaochi told me about her.
**[13:17] ---**
Her name's Mayu Kanzaki.
**[13:19] ---**
She managed Otani and Nakao's junior high basketball team.
**[13:24] ---**
He says they dated for two years.
**[13:28] ---**
-And apparently Otani was the one who was more attached.
**[13:30] ---**
- So it's true...
**[13:40] ---**
I'd thought that like me, Otani had never dated anyone.
**[13:46] ---**
Now I really feel like a late-bloomer.
**[13:49] ---**
Hey, Otani, why did you guys break up?
**[13:52] ---**
Why do you want to know?
**[13:54] ---**
Well, I just can't picture it!
**[13:56] ---**
You dating or breaking up with someone...
**[14:03] ---**
We didn't break up... She dumped me.
**[14:09] ---**
Um...
**[14:10] ---**
She fell for someone else and that was it.
**[14:13] ---**
I was depressed enough as it was,
**[14:15] ---**
but then I found out who my replacement was...
**[14:18] ---**
He was 2 meters tall and dubbed, "the Giant Stallion of West Jr. High."
**[14:24] ---**
She really knew how to twist the knife...
**[14:27] ---**
But I'm sure it was just a coincidence!
**[14:30] ---**
I doubt she chose him for his height.
**[14:31] ---**
Even if it was a coincidence...
**[14:34] ---**
It certainly didn't help my already delicate complex over my height.
**[14:43] ---**
I guess if I say any more, you'll punch me again.
**[14:49] ---**
Otani...
**[14:56] ---**
I see.
**[14:57] ---**
So he had that kind of past.
**[15:04] ---**
May you find happiness!
**[15:11] ---**
Otani, I know all too well how you feel!
**[15:16] ---**
Being dumped like that would only make you feel worse about your height.
**[15:21] ---**
Keep at it, Otani!
**[15:22] ---**
Stay optimistic, Otani!
**[15:32] ---**
I forgot my bag!
**[15:35] ---**
Will you wait for me while I get it?
**[15:49] ---**
So, everyone who was on the basketball team...
**[15:52] ---**
is getting together on the 25th for a party.
**[15:55] ---**
Could you leave that day open for us?
**[15:58] ---**
Okay.
**[15:59] ---**
The more I look, the more I see the resemblance to Chiharu.
**[16:02] ---**
No, I think Chiharu looks like HER, not the other way around.
**[16:08] ---**
THAT'S probably why Otani was attracted to Chiharu.
**[16:14] ---**
Promise you'll come, okay?
**[16:15] ---**
There's something I want to talk about.
**[16:17] ---**
Bye.
**[16:27] ---**
What's that? Why's he spacing out?
**[16:31] ---**
Could it be...he still likes her?
**[16:37] ---**
Oh, the 25th is--
**[16:39] ---**
Don't worry! I'll go to Sea Monk's concert alone!
**[16:43] ---**
K-Koizumi, how long have you been there?
**[16:45] ---**
She wants to talk, eh? Probably wants to get back together.
**[16:49] ---**
And if you can't go to the party and get back together with her,
**[16:52] ---**
it'll be all my fault.
**[16:55] ---**
Lucky break.
**[16:55] ---**
Getting back together with your ex...
**[16:57] ---**
will help you beat me in the challenge...
**[16:59] ---**
much faster than finding someone new.
**[17:02] ---**
Koizumi...
**[17:03] ---**
Ah, but since I'm helping to make this happen,
**[17:05] ---**
I'm not buying ya new sneakers.
**[17:07] ---**
I don't mind taking you out to tea or something, though.
**[17:11] ---**
Cheapskate.
**[17:11] ---**
'Tis the season!
**[17:13] ---**
Sometimes I'm not sure whether you're nice or not.
**[17:19] ---**
I'm nice, of course.
**[17:21] ---**
Oh, really?
**[17:23] ---**
After all... how can I abandon such a passionate face?
**[17:27] ---**
He surprised me.
**[17:31] ---**
Nobuko, Chiharu, so the situation is thus...
**[17:35] ---**
"The situation is thus"?
**[17:36] ---**
I's gonna be alllll alone on Christmas.
**[17:39] ---**
Could you's please spend some time with me's before the concert?
**[17:44] ---**
Please?
**[17:47] ---**
Um, if you're busy we could always do this on the 24th...
**[17:51] ---**
Sorry.
**[17:52] ---**
On the 24th I'm going to an overnight Christmas Party with Darling.
**[17:57] ---**
And I haven't finished knitting the scarf I'm giving Suzuki,
**[18:00] ---**
so I'll be busy...
**[18:02] ---**
But maybe if I hurry through it now I can make time...
**[18:07] ---**
Oh, whatever! Just leave me in peace!
**[18:10] ---**
Don't worry! We still love you!
**[18:12] ---**
But we just can't...
**[18:14] ---**
Whatever! Christmas isn't a Japanese holiday anyway!
**[18:17] ---**
Makes no difference to me if I'm alone or not!
**[18:29] ---**
Aw, crap. I was so bored I came too early...
**[18:35] ---**
That hurt, you jerk!
**[18:37] ---**
My tights! Infection! Blood!
**[18:47] ---**
Right about now...
**[18:49] ---**
They're probably having the time of their lives.
**[18:53] ---**
And Otani's probably back with his ex.
**[18:57] ---**
What should I do?
**[18:58] ---**
I'm all alone now.
**[19:01] ---**
If Otani has a girlfriend,
**[19:03] ---**
he probably won't hang out with me anymore.
**[19:07] ---**
What should I do?
**[19:08] ---**
Winter vacation is a time to party...
**[19:10] ---**
but I'll probably just get in everyone's way.
**[19:14] ---**
My knee hurts...
**[19:16] ---**
And the concert is about to start.
**[19:18] ---**
What if I love the concert?
**[19:22] ---**
Who am I supposed to share that feeling with?
**[19:28] ---**
Though he can be annoying at times...
**[19:30] ---**
It's sure dismal without him.
**[19:33] ---**
Koizumi!
**[19:36] ---**
Is that Otani's voice?
**[19:42] ---**
Otani...
**[19:44] ---**
Finally found you!
**[19:46] ---**
Otani...
**[19:47] ---**
Where WERE you?
**[19:48] ---**
What're you doing here?
**[19:51] ---**
What'm I doing? Seeing Sea Monk, of course!
**[19:53] ---**
But what about your ex?
**[19:57] ---**
I'll see her some other time.
**[19:59] ---**
I promised you first.
**[20:03] ---**
I almost didn't come...
**[20:06] ---**
but I didn't want to flake out on you like that.
**[20:09] ---**
I didn't want to be in your debt.
**[20:11] ---**
You really are a moron.
**[20:14] ---**
You're a moron.
**[20:17] ---**
Wh-wh-why are you crying?
**[20:21] ---**
You're a moron!
**[20:23] ---**
- Why are you doing this?
**[20:24] ---**
- Why'm I a moron?
**[20:31] ---**
Koizumi...what's wrong?
**[20:35] ---**
C...conk.
**[20:36] ---**
"Conk"?
**[20:38] ---**
Conk...I...conk...
**[20:41] ---**
What're you, a rooster?
**[20:42] ---**
I conked my knee!
**[20:44] ---**
Your knee?
**[20:45] ---**
Wow, you're right! It's bleeding!
**[20:48] ---**
What did you do?
**[20:50] ---**
Are you okay? Can you walk?
**[20:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:54] ---**
Let's go to the gig.
**[21:02] ---**
Otani's hand...is so warm.
**[21:07] ---**
Merry Christmas! MC of the M-Sea, Sea Monk!
**[21:18] ---**
That was AWESOME!
**[21:20] ---**
Yeah, I freaking DIED!
**[21:23] ---**
- Freaking sick!
**[21:24] ---**
- It's Christmas in the streets.
**[21:25] ---**
- Perhaps something can bloom,
**[21:25] ---**
- So sick!
**[21:27] ---**
even for the All Hanshin Kyojin.
**[21:30] ---**
Risa.
**[21:33] ---**
Risa!!
**[21:51] [SONG] ---**
On the way home from school, alone in the park, sitting on our bench,
**[21:58] [SONG] ---**
I noticed you were happier than usual
**[22:03] [SONG] ---**
So I asked you,
**[22:05] [SONG] ---**
"What would you do if the world disappeared?"
**[22:12] [SONG] ---**
Saying nothing, you squeezed my arm in response.
**[22:21] [SONG] ---**
Please, keep looking at me.
**[22:26] [SONG] ---**
Our lips are too close and my heart won't stop pounding.
**[22:36] [SONG] ---**
No matter what mood you're in, I'll accept you for who you are.
**[22:42] [SONG] ---**
And if your heart ever breaks and tears fall down your cheeks,
**[22:50] [SONG] ---**
I will protect you even if it means turning the rest of the world against me.
**[22:56] [SONG] ---**
I love you
**[22:58] [SONG] ---**
I don't need words.
**[23:01] [SONG] ---**
You will be my last kiss.
**[23:07] [SONG] ---**
Now and forever.
**[23:26] ---**
Otani, here's your obligatory chocolate.
**[23:28] ---**
- No thanks.
- But you asked for it!
**[23:30] ---**
Why don't'cha give it to that Haruka guy!
**[23:32] ---**
