It's near here, isn't it? [02:21] Classmate B     Their desserts should be     half-price right now. [02:23] Classmate D     Why don't we go check it out? [02:24] Classmates     I'll totally go. [02:25] Classmates     I definitely want to go! [02:26] Classmates     Let's do it! [02:29] Mei     I used to laugh like that a lot. [02:36] (Flashback) Friends     Happy Birthday Mei-chan! [02:40] (Flashback) Friend     Blow out the candles, Mei-chan! [02:41] Friend     One big blow! [02:42] (Flashback) Young Mei     Okay! [02:43] (Flashback) Friends     Yay!

[03:39] (Flashback) Elementary Classmate A     I heard that Mei-chan can hear ghosts talking. [03:47] (Flashback) Middle School Classmate A     Did you know? Apparently, that girl      can see ghosts. [03:50] (Flashback) Middle School Classmate B     Whoa, really? [03:51] Ghosts     Mei-chan!

[03:58] Ghost C     Mei-chan, Mei-chan! [04:02] Mei     I've been alone ever since. [04:05] Mei     Yes, it's easier this way.

[04:14] Other Classmate     Hang on a second! [04:20] Mei     Oh, I'll have to pass. [04:23] Mei     But thank you. [04:25] Classmate D     Y-You sure? [04:28] Classmate A     Forget about her. [04:29] Classmate B     She's always by herself. [04:31] Classmate C     She seems to like it that way. [04:32] Classmate D     Huh? Really? [04:36] Classmate A     She's been able to hear ghosts     talking since we were kids. [04:39] Classmate D     Is that true? That's pretty amazing. [04:41] Classmate A     Amazing? [04:43] Classmate B     Never mind that, cake! [04:45] Classmates     Yeah, that's right! [04:55] Charlie     Mei-chan... [04:58] Charlie     Mei-chan. [05:02] Charlie     Mei-chan. [05:24] Charlie     Now then, ladies and gentlemen! [05:26] Charlie     The light of the Strawberry Moon     shines bewitchingly on this night. [05:32] Charlie     I invite you all to a mysterious     world in this great magical show, [05:34] Charlie     brought to you by a master of Western magic! [05:40] Charlie     Behold, this box is an     incredibly mysterious one [05:46] Charlie     that makes everything that     goes into it disappear. [05:49] Charlie     I will show you how it can make     anything disappear at once, [05:54] Charlie     be it an elephant, tank, or airplane. [05:57] Charlie     Of course, that includes any of you who     wish to be anywhere but here. [06:02] Charlie     Now, is there anyone here who might     wish to step inside the box? [06:08] Charlie     Perhaps you there, young lady. [06:16] Charlie     What do you say? [06:21] Charlie     Young lady, I insist. [06:30] Charlie     Now then, allow me to show     you how this young lady [06:34] Charlie     will completely disappear once     I count down from three. [06:40] Mei     How did I get roped into this? [06:42] Mei     I really hate being the center of attention. [06:47] Charlie     What fate will befall     this courageous young lady? [06:51] Charlie     Please give a round of applause     when she successfully disappears. [06:57] Mei     For some reason... [07:00] Mei     I feel rather at peace. [07:05] Charlie     Three... [07:07] Charlie     two... [07:10] Charlie     one! SIGN    The Unexpected Strawberry Moon [08:09] Mei     Huh? [08:13] Mei     Wha—? [08:15] Mei     Why? [08:17] Mei     Eh? Huh? Eh? [08:21] Mei     What?! [08:39] Ougai     What's wrong?! [08:47] Ougai     Are you all right? Are you hurt? [08:50] Mei     I-I'm fine. [08:54] Ougai     Let me take a look. [09:00] Ougai     Are you in any pain? [09:02] Mei     I-I'm not. [09:06] Ougai     You seem all right. [09:10] Mei     Yes. [09:14] Ougai     What's this? [09:15] Mei     Oh, these are my headphones. [09:18] Ougai     Headphones? [09:19] Shunso     She appears to be unharmed. [09:21] Ougai     Yes. [09:35] Ougai     Come now. [09:50] Ougai     Nevertheless, you are wearing     quite reasonable clothing. [09:54] Mei     Huh? [09:56] Ougai     It's a simple design using the     minimum fabric necessary. [09:59] Ougai     A style that emphasizes only functionality,     without being inclined to extravagance. [10:03] Ougai     I would say it is truly innovative,     no, almost revolutionary. [10:07] Shunso     Ougai-san... [10:10] Ougai     Oh, pardon me. [10:12] Ougai     Where do you live? [10:14] Ougai     Unfortunately, we both have somewhere     we need to be shortly. [10:18] Ougai     However, afterward, I can have you taken      home in this, if you wish. [10:24] Mei     A carriage?! [10:26] Mei     No, honestly, I'll be fine. [10:30] Mei     Thank you very much though. [10:32] Ougai     You will not be fine. [10:34] Ougai     Please feel free to ride with us. [10:36] Ougai     We cannot just look the other way     and let you go off on your own like this. [10:40] Ougai     Come along. [10:41] Mei     But I... [10:43] Shunso     If you would rather be attacked by     stray dogs, then we won't stop you. [10:47] Mei     N-No, I can get home on my own. I— [10:51] Mei     Huh? Home? [10:54] Mei     Uh, where is my home, anyway? [10:59] Mei     More importantly, where am I? [11:04] Mei     I-I don't know. [11:06] Mei     Huh? What's happened to me? [11:10] Ougai     You don't know? [11:13] Mei     When I woke up, I was just lying here. [11:17] Shunso     Should we take her to the hospital? [11:22] Ougai     No, there's no problem here. [11:26] Shunso     Then, perhaps the police? [11:29] Ougai     No. Would you like to come with us? [11:31] Mei     With you? [11:42] Mei     A carriage... I'm seriously     riding in a carriage right now. [11:47] Ougai     What is your name, young lady? [11:50] Mei     My name is... Huh? What is my name? [11:55] Ougai     Oh, pardon my rudeness.     My name is Mori Rintaro. [11:59] Ougai     I serve as an army surgeon. [12:01] Mei     A-Army surgeon? [12:02] Ougai     Syunso, you should introduce     yourself as well. [12:05] Shunso     I'm Hishida. Hishida Syunso. [12:08] Mei     Hishida Syunso-san. [12:12] Mei     It's very nice to meet you. [12:14] Ougai     Syunso is an art student. [12:16] Ougai     He is the darling of the Japanese art world. [12:21] Ougai     What is your name, young lady? [12:24] Mei     Oh, right, my name is... [12:28] Charlie     Mei. [12:29] Mei     Huh? [12:31] Charlie     Mei. Ayazuki Mei. [12:36] Mei     A-Ayazuki Mei. [12:41] Ougai     At least you remember your own name. [12:47] Mei     What was that voice just now? [12:58] Mei     Where am I? [13:02] Ougai     Behold. We will be arriving shortly. [13:29] Mei     What is this? [13:31] Ougai     The festivities this evening are     being hosted by Inoue Kaoru, [13:33] Ougai     the Minister of Foreign Affairs, [13:35] Ougai     because the Crown Prince of Russia,     Nicholas II, is visiting Japan. [13:38] Mei     T-The crown prince of Russia? [13:41] Mei     Umm... Where are we? [13:42] Shunso     The Rokumeikan. [13:44] Mei     The Rokumeikan? [13:46] Mei     I've heard of it before. [13:48] Mei     But wait... Does the Rokumeikan still exist? [13:52] Ougai     Look, the crown prince is over there. [13:55] Shunso     The politicians are swarming around him. [13:59] Shunso     Ougai-san, are you sure about this? [14:01] Ougai     About what, Syunso? [14:02] Shunso     Bringing a lady that is dressed so strangely     to a party at the Rokumeikan? [14:08] Mei     S-Strangely? [14:10] Lady A     What is with that girl? [14:12] Lady B     She's wearing such vulgar attire. [14:14] Lady A     She's utterly shameful,     exposing her legs like that. [14:18] Ougai     It'll be fine. [14:20] Ougai     Now, Little Squirrel,     enjoy yourself to the fullest. [14:24] Mei     Little Squirrel? [14:26] Ougai     Little Squirrel. [14:28] Mei     Okay... [14:30] Mei     Why is he calling me that? [14:32] Mei     And he expects me to enjoy     myself to the fullest? [14:36] Mei     How, though? [14:39] Mei     Th-That's the smell of roast beef! [14:43] Ougai     Oh? So you like roast beef, Little Squirrel? [14:47] Ougai     You should eat as much as you'd like, then. [14:49] Ougai     You are welcome to eat whatever— [14:51] Shunso     Ougai-san. [14:53] Shunso     She's over there. [14:57] Server     Pardon me. [14:59] Server     Pardon me. [15:01] Mei     Roast beef, roast beef. [15:02] Server     Pardon me. [15:08] Mei     I'm so sorry! [15:17] Kyoka     I-I don't know who has touched     this dish, and now it's touching me! [15:24] Otojiro     Honestly, Kyoka-chan, your     germophobia is such a pain. [15:33] Kyoka     Kawakami... [15:34] Kyoka     And I told you not to call me Kyoka-chan! [15:36] Otojiro     Well, then, Izumi Kyoka-sensei,     when is it going to be ready? [15:41] Otojiro     Your next play, that is. [15:42] Kyoka     Shut up! [15:44] Mei     A rabbit? [15:46] Kyoka     Hey, you! Don't get so     close to me, would you? [15:49] Kyoka     I really hate it when someone     I don't know gets close to me. [15:53] Otojiro     Pay him no mind. [15:55] Otojiro     Kyoka-chan is an extreme germophobe. [15:58] Kyoka     Stop calling me Kyoka-chan! [15:59] Otojiro     But this is my first time meeting     such an assertive woman. [16:03] Otojiro     You went through all this just because     you wanted to dance with me, didn't you? [16:07] Mei     Hang on... [16:09] Lady A     The nerve of this girl! [16:10] Lady B     I am supposed to dance the     next song with Otojiro-sama! [16:13] Lady C     You have to wait your turn. [16:15] Lady D     We're all in line, you know. [16:17] Lady E     Why don't you go back     to the end of the line? [16:20] Lady F     What's with her disgraceful clothing? [16:22] Mei     No, you've got it all wrong. [16:24] Mei     I was just following the     scent of the roast beef. [16:27] Mei     And there was a rabbit on his shoulder... [16:30] Otojiro     A rabbit? [16:32] Otojiro     Where is this rabbit? [16:34] Mei     It's right there, on his shoulder. [16:38] Otojiro     Kyoka-chan certainly does like rabbits. [16:41] Kyoka     Don't call me that! [16:42] Otojiro     But he wouldn't bring a     rabbit ornament here. [16:46] Mei     No, it's not an ornament.     It's more fluffy-like. SIGN    Fluffy [16:51] Otojiro     Are you sure you didn't just     see a ghost or something? [16:55] Yakumo     A ghost? [16:57] Yakumo     Did you mention ghosts just now? [17:07] Yakumo     Thank you for such an     enjoyable moment, madame. [17:10] Yakumo     I hope you continue to     have a pleasant evening. [17:12] Yakumo     Apologies for the delay. I am Lafcadio Hearn, [17:15] Yakumo     a teacher of English literature     at Tokyo Imperial University. [17:19] Yakumo     And this is my Japanese name. SIGN    Tokyo Imperial University Instructor Japanese Folklore Researcher SIGN    Koizumi Yakumo [17:24] Mei     Koizumi Yakumo? [17:27] Mei     Like the man who wrote the     tales of Hoichi the Earless? [17:29] Yakumo     My, so you have heard of me? [17:32] Yakumo     That pleases me immensely. [17:35] Mei     Well... I believe the name of     the novelist who put together [17:39] Mei     that collection ghost stories     was Koizumi Yakumo, but... [17:42] Mei     Huh? Did you say that's you? Wha? [17:46] Otojiro     A researcher of Japanese folklore, eh? [17:49] Otojiro     I am Kawakami Otojiro. Nice to meet you. [17:51] Yakumo     I am familiar with you. [17:53] Yakumo     You are the up-and-coming stage actor. [17:56] Yakumo     By the way, Miss... [17:59] Yakumo     May I have the pleasure of dancing     with you, mademoiselle? [18:02] Mei     Hold on, umm... [18:04] Yakumo     Now then, please do continue with     the topic you were discussing earlier. [18:05] Mei     Umm, umm, umm, umm, umm... [18:12] Mei     That man! [18:14] Yakumo     Oh, miss! [18:16] Mei     Hey, you! [18:19] Charlie     Well, hello there, young lady.     So this is where you've been? [18:22] Charlie     I've been looking for you     for quite some time. [18:25] Charlie     Since there is a party here this evening, [18:29] Charlie     I thought you might be wandering     around here somewhere. [18:33] Charlie     I'm glad you seem     to be enjoying yourself. [18:35] Mei     Enjoying myself? [18:37] Charlie     Will you have some? [18:38] Mei     Of course! [18:39] Mei     Nevermind about that, what happened     to me when you did that trick? [18:44] Mei     I went into the box... [18:46] Mei     I went in, and when I woke up,     I was in an unfamiliar park. [18:51] Mei     I can't remember all kinds     of things, like where my own home is. [18:55] Charlie     It's not surprising that you're confused. [18:58] Charlie     Honestly, even I was surprised. [19:01] Charlie     I call myself an extraordinary magician, [19:04] Charlie     but even I didn't think I could     actually make a person disappear. [19:07] Mei     Disappear? [19:08] Charlie     Though it might be more accurate     to say that I transported you. [19:13] Mei     Transported me? [19:14] Charlie     Yes, from present day     Tokyo to Meiji era Tokyo. [19:18] Mei     Meiji era Tokyo? [19:22] Charlie     In other words, you traveled back in time. [19:25] Charlie     And the reason your memory is so fuzzy is because of an     accident that occurs when you travel through time. [19:30] Mei     Time travel... [19:41] Charlie     Oh my, how terrible! The power went out. [19:50] Mei     A fox? [20:00] Pianist     The piano is playing by itself! [20:01] Nobleman B     M-My cane! [20:06] Mei     A ghost? No, it's just a mischievous fox. [20:10] Kyoka     Oh, come on. It's just a fox. [20:13] Kyoka     What a waste of my time. [20:15] Mei     Thank goodness, he's going to catch it. [20:32] Fujita     Supernatural fox. [20:36] Mei     No! [20:46] Fujita     Are you a Tamayori? [20:49] Mei     Eh? [20:51] Fujita     You can see the ghosts.
