[00:11] (Flashback) Aya
    Hey!
[00:14] (Flashback) Fu
    Aya-chan!
[00:15] (Flashback) Aya
    Yo.
[00:17] (Flashback) Fu
    You're awfully late.
[00:19] (Flashback) Fu
    I was getting tired of waiting.
[00:22] (Flashback) Aya
    Yesterday's Best Western Hits.
[00:24] (Flashback) Aya
    I recorded it for you.
[00:27] (Flashback) Fu
    New songs!
[00:30] (Flashback) Fu
    I'm so happy.
[00:32] (Flashback) Fu
    Thanks.
[00:35] (Flashback) Aya
    The third track is so dope.
[00:37] (Flashback) Aya
    It hits you like a knuckle sandwich
    in a one-on-one street fight!
[00:41] (Flashback) Fu
    I don't think I really get what you mean.
[00:45] (Flashback) Fu
    Oh, yeah.
[00:46] (Flashback) Fu
    I learned how to sing all the songs
    you gave me last time.
[00:50] (Flashback) Aya
    No kidding?
[00:52] (Flashback) Aya
    Impressive.
[00:53] (Flashback) Fu
    Why don't you play?
[00:54] (Flashback) Fu
    We can sing together.
[00:57] (Flashback) Fu
    Aya-chan?
[01:00] (Flashback) Aya
    Hey, Fu...
[01:07] (Flashback) Aya
    How about the two of us go pro?
[01:11] (Flashback) Aya
    I feel like with you on board, we can make it.

    It's true.

    One of our residents is a hard-working girl 
    who has a real job and pays her rent.

[05:19] Masaki
    Oh, here she is.
[05:21] Live
    Hey, there!
[05:22] Fu
    You two!
[05:23] Fu
    How'd you get in here?!

    Through the window.
[05:25] Fu
    That's trespassing!
[05:27] Fu
    Bath thieves!
[05:28] Live
    Hey, don't be such a party pooper.
[05:31] Fu
    We're closed for the night.
[05:33] Masaki
    Okay, okay.
[05:35] Masaki
    We'll get going, then...
[05:36] Masaki
    Not!
[05:39] Masaki
    Allow us to announce our next video.
[05:41] Live
    The star of the next video is you!
[05:43] Masaki
    The one singing a cover will be Fu!
[05:46] Fu
    What?
[05:49] Fu
    N-No, thanks.
[05:51] Group
    Eh?
[05:52] Fu
    How many times do I have
    to tell you I won't do it?
[05:56] Live
    Whew!
[05:57] Masaki
    Nothing beats a cold one!
[05:59] Fu
    Please listen to me!
[06:01] Fu
    Why me, anyway?
[06:03] Masaki
    Because I found out you can sing. Duh.
[06:09] Fu
    Wait!
[06:09] Fu
    Don't tell me you went in my room!
[06:11] Masaki
    Whether I did or didn't isn't the issue here.
[06:15] Masaki
    You love singing, and you used to sing
    on the roof all the time, right?
[06:19] Masaki
    Live told me.
[06:20] Live
    Uh-huh.
[06:21] Fu
    You could... hear me?
[06:23] Masaki
    Now's the time to try
    new ideas to rack up the hits!
[06:27] Masaki
    Videos of song covers are popular,
[06:29] Masaki
    and there's a good chance
    it could gain us subs!
[06:33] Masaki
    Got it? If you do, then hurry up and—
[06:35] Fu
    You're so stubborn!
[06:36] Fu
    Masaki-san, you're as stubborn as
     the slimy gunk in the bathtubs!
[06:41] Masaki
    Huh?!
[06:42] Masaki
    That's one hell of a weird insult!
[06:44] Fu
    I'll never sing again.
[06:48] Fu
    I don't deserve to.
[06:51] Fu
    Sorry.
[07:08] (Flashback) Aya
    See ya.
[07:10] (Flashback) Fu
    Yeah!
[07:12] (Flashback) Aya
    Oh, yeah.
[07:13] (Flashback) Aya
    Starting tomorrow, how about
    we sing here every day?
[07:16] (Flashback) Fu
    Yes, of course!
[07:18] (Flashback) Fu
    I'd love to sing with you every day!
[07:20] (Flashback) Aya
    If we're gonna be pro singers,
    we need to get real!
[07:25] (Flashback) Fu
    That's... true.
[07:27] (Flashback) Aya
    What's gotten into you?
[07:29] (Flashback) Aya
    Having second thoughts about the audition?
[07:31] (Flashback) Fu
    No, that's not it!
[07:33] (Flashback) Aya
    Then we've gotta buckle down!
[07:36] (Flashback) Aya
    Let's kill it.
[07:38] (Flashback) Fu
    Y-Yeah.
[07:42] (Flashback) Aya
    Bye!
[07:48] (Flashback) Fu
    What now?
[07:51] Singer
    Thank you for hearing us perform.
[07:55] (Flashback) Yuki
    You can't be serious.
[07:58] (Flashback) Fu
    Yuki-sama...
[07:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    A pro singer?
[08:01] (Flashback) Yuki
    Do you plan on being on TV?
[08:03] (Flashback) Yuki
    As a vampire?
[08:05] (Flashback) Fu
    How do you know...
[08:07] (Flashback) Yuki
    My job is to keep an eye on you lot.
[08:11] (Flashback) Yuki
    A singer who miraculously doesn't age,
[08:13] (Flashback) Yuki
    shrouded in mystery,
    only making appearances at night...
[08:17] (Flashback) Yuki
    It'll get people talking, at least.
[08:19] (Flashback) Fu
    I know it's a lost cause.
[08:22] (Flashback) Yuki
    I don't think you do.
[08:30] (Flashback) Yuki
    Don't cling to a dream
    that can never come true.
[08:36] Fu
    Gotta tell her...
[08:39] Fu
    Gotta tell her...
[08:41] Fu
    Gotta tell her.
[08:43] Fu
    Gotta tell her.

[12:30] Masaki
    Y-You scared me!
[12:32] Masaki
    Don't sneak up behind me like that!
[12:34] Fu
    I wasn't trying to sneak up on you.
[12:36] Masaki
    Oh, um, sorry.
[12:38] Fu
    You've been acting weird.
[12:41] Fu
    Are you up to something?
[12:43] Masaki
    No way! I wouldn't dream of it!
[12:46] Masaki
    It's nothing at all!
[12:48] Masaki
    So long!
[12:49] Fu
    Wait right there!
[12:51] Fu
    You really suck at telling lies.
[12:53] Masaki
    I'm not lying.
[12:55] Fu
    I can see right through you.
[12:59] Masaki
    Let me tell you what's up, then.
[13:01] Masaki
    We went looking for her.
[13:03] Masaki
    The girl named Aya.
[13:06] Fu
    How do you know that name?
[13:08] Masaki
    We looked it up.
[13:12] Fu
    Do you really want me to sing that badly?
[13:15] Masaki
    So she is the reason why you won't sing.
[13:18] Fu
    You're wrong!
[13:20] Fu
    It was my own decision not to sing anymore!
[13:24] Fu
    Aya-chan's got nothing to do with it!
[13:26] Fu
    Why do you keep sticking
    your nose in my business?!
[13:29] Masaki
    I'm doing it for the videos—
[13:30] Fu
    No one will enjoy watching me be pressured
    into something I don't want to do.
[13:34] Masaki
    Well...
[13:36] Fu
    Please just leave me be.
[13:39] Masaki
    Fine, then!
[13:41] Masaki
    Piss and moan until you die, for all I care!
[13:44] Masaki
    I saw how carefully you kept
    those ancient cassettes!
[13:46] Masaki
    It's obvious that you're still not over her!
[13:52] Masaki
    We received word of someone named
    Aya holding a concert two years ago.
[13:57] Masaki
    We found the venue location, as well.
[14:00] Masaki
    Interested?
[14:02] Fu
    N-No.
[14:03] Masaki
    I see.
[14:05] Masaki
    Then throw it in the trash.
[14:09] Masaki
    You said you don't deserve to sing.
[14:12] Masaki
    Just so you know, no one's undeserving
    of doing the things they want.
[14:17] Masaki
    That's all from me.
[14:24] Live
    Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
[14:26] Masaki
    What's up?
[14:27] Live
    Fu left a message!
[14:30] Live
    "I'll be out of the house for a while.
    Don't worry about me."
[14:33] Live
    What do we do?
[14:34] Live
    Is it because of all our meddling?
[14:37] Masaki
    She said not to worry. I'm sure she's fine.
[14:54] Fu
    I'm here.
[14:58] Fu
    I should have done more research.
[15:01] Fu
    My phone stopped working
    as soon as I got here, too.
[15:04] Fu
    I'm even dumber than Ichiko-chan!

    I'm sure she did!

    Good for her, though.
[16:36] Tokage
    Fu managed to take a bold new step.

    Tokage!

    Now we might make some cash!
[16:42] Tokage
    Isn't that just lovely?

    Fu!
[16:52] Masaki
    H-How'd it go?
[16:56] Fu
    Aya-chan passed away.
[17:02] Tokage
    Seriously, human lives are so damn short.
[17:06] Ichiko
    Um, how about some tea?
[17:09] Live
    Ah, I'm fine for now. Thanks for asking.
[17:12] Ichiko
    You're welcome.
[17:15] Masaki
    Not gonna play it?
[17:16] Masaki
    After he gave it to you.
[17:18] Fu
    I don't know how to.
[17:19] Fu
    Aya-chan was always
    the one in charge of playing.
[17:24] Masaki
    Sorry.
[17:26] Masaki
    I should have looked into it more first.
[17:32] Fu
    Let me apologize as well.
[17:34] Fu
    You did all of this for me,
    but I said those awful things.
[17:39] Masaki
    No, I did it for the videos.
[17:43] Fu
    If I'd acted sooner,
    I might have seen her again.
[17:48] Fu
    No, if I'd just had the courage
    to face her back then...
[17:54] Fu
    But I was too scared that she might hate me.
[17:59] Fu
    I always make the wrong decision.
[18:05] Live
    Um...
[18:06] Live
    Got a moment?
[18:08] Live
    We found this in the guitar case.
[18:20] Aya
    Huh? Is this thing already on?
[18:22] Aya's Friend
    Sure is. Introduce yourself!
[18:25] Aya
    Hey. I'm Aya, a singer.
[18:28] Aya's Friend
    Great, thanks!

    Bring it on!
[18:33] Aya's Friend
    Today I'm here to interview the Japanese 
    artist making big, big waves in America!
[18:39] Aya
    Is that sarcasm?
[18:41] Aya's Friend
    No, no.
[18:42] Aya's Friend
    It'll be true soon enough!
[18:44] Aya
    Huh?
[18:45] Aya's Friend
    Once you make it big, this video
    will be worth its weight in gold!
[18:49] Aya
    Yeah, yeah.
[18:50] Aya
    I'll do my best to make that happen.
[18:52] Aya's Friend
    Let's get started!
[18:54] Aya
    Ask me anything!
[18:55] Aya's Friend
    In a few words, can you tell us
    why you decided to go into singing?
[19:02] Aya
    A long time ago, back in my slightly wild era,
[19:05] Aya
    there was only one person I was tight with.
[19:08] Aya
    I guess it started when I met her.
[19:11] Aya's Friend
    So she was the one who gave you that push?
[19:14] Aya
    Something like that.
[19:15] Aya's Friend
    Huh...
[19:16] Aya
    She was a real killer singer.
[19:18] Aya
    If I was with her, we could go pro.
[19:21] Aya
    The two of us in the big leagues...
    or so I thought.
[19:24] Aya's Friend
    You thought?
[19:24] Aya
    We suddenly lost touch, and that was that.
[19:28] Aya
    She ran away from me, without telling me why.
[19:32] Aya
    On the day of our audition, at that.
[19:34] Aya's Friend
    Maybe she had her reasons?
[19:36] Aya
    I'm sure she did.
[19:39] Aya
    But I wish she'd told me why.
[19:41] Aya
    It's seriously a mystery.
[19:43] Aya
    I always figured we were real close,
[19:47] Aya
    but it turns out there was a lot
    I didn't know about her.
[19:50] Aya
    Still, I had fun singing together
    with her every day.
[19:55] Aya
    I bet she... I bet Fu had fun as well.
[19:59] Aya
    There's no doubt in my mind about that.
[20:02] Aya's Friend
    Um, you lost me there.
[20:05] Aya
    No surprise.
[20:07] Aya
    Well, what I mean is...
[20:09] Aya
    If she's out there singing to this day,
[20:12] Aya
    that'd make me really happy.
[20:13] Band Member 1
    Hey, is that Aya?
[20:15] Band Member 2
    Hey, you recording something?
[20:17] Fu
    I'm sorry.
[20:20] Fu
    For running away by myself.
[20:22] Fu
    For disappearing without a word.
[20:24] Fu
    For not seeing you
    while you were still alive.
[20:27] Fu
    I'm sorry!
[20:30] Fu
    All I ever wanted was to sing with you.
[20:35] Fu
    Aya-chan...
[21:05] Live
    Well?
[21:06] Live
    Not bad for something
    we cobbled together, right?
[21:08] Masaki
    We did all this for you,
    so show a little gratitude.
[21:11] Fu
    Everyone...
[21:24] Masaki
    What's gotten into you?!
[21:27] Fu
    Just firing myself up.
[23:16] Masaki
    Okay, all good!
[23:25] Fu
    Live-sama, I brought back
    souvenirs from New York.
[23:28] Live
    What'd you get?
[23:28] Fu
    A wall pennant, a Statue of Liberty
    trinket, a t-shirt, bath soaks...
[23:31] Live
    The bath soaks, then!
[23:33] Fu
    How nice! You'll be in New Soak City!
[23:35] Live
    Wow.
