    "Meisei High School
    Return of a Prestigious School"
[00:03] ---
    "Meisei High School
    Touma Tachibana
    First time since the summer they became national champions!!"
[00:05] ---
    "Meisei High School Grade Ten Ace
    Tachibana Pitches a No-hitter"
[00:25] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:28] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:31] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:34] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:37] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:40] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:42] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:03] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     * *
[01:09] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     * *
[01:15] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     * *
[01:21] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     * *
[01:27] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     * *
[01:33] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     * *
[01:42] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     * *
[01:48] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     * *
[01:54] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     * *
[02:01] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     * *
[02:31] ---
    Otomi! It's for you!
[02:34] ---
    Thanks!
[02:39] ---
    Hello?
[02:41] ---
    Right. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:45] ---
    OK. Got it.
[02:49] ---
    "Meisei High School Grade Ten Ace

[02:54] ---
    "On a Rainy Day Like Today"
[03:05] ---
    "Seinan High School Baseball Team
    Training Camp"
[03:11] ---
    He even got a big photo
    of him with the article!
[03:15] ---
    That's what I was telling you!
[03:16] ---
    A reference record isn't good enough.
[03:19] ---
    They treat the article
    completely differently.
[03:21] ---
    That's not the only reason
    for the significant coverage.
[03:26] ---
    The public weren't paying attention to them.
[03:29] ---
    Neither to Meisei as a team or that battery.
[03:32] ---
    That's added to the size of the article.
[03:35] ---
    I see.
[03:36] ---
    Well, of course.
[03:38] ---
    Even if I did the same, people
    expect it so no one would be surprised.
[03:42] ---
    Don't be so full of yourself.
[03:44] ---
    At this point, the only one who wouldn't
    surprise anyone is Hiroki Mita of Toushu.
[03:49] ---
    Come on, you should know better.
[03:53] ---
    I'm the type who excels when being praised.
[03:56] ---
    Yeah. Being full of himself and
    believing he's better than he really is.
[04:02] ---
    I know it all too well
    because I was the same.
[04:06] ---
    You're right that we're
    blood relatives and we look alike,
[04:12] ---
    but we're not identical
    in every sense, are we?
[04:16] ---
    Yeah. I sincerely hope not.
[04:21] ---
    First of all, you don't know how to
    properly use one of these, do you?
[04:27] ---
    Oh, right! I'll call Otomi
    to congratulate her.
[04:37] ---
    In our next life, I'll make
    sure to live next door to you!
[04:47] ---
    We'll be childhood friends.
[04:54] ---
    It's been 30 years since then.
[05:00] ---
    Huh? She went out?
[05:02] ---
    But she has the day off
    because of Foundation Day, right?
[05:06] ---
    Huh? Why do I know?
    I checked it out on the internet.
[05:10] ---
    What? That's creepy?
    No, this is normal nowadays.
[05:14] ---
    So, who did Otomi go out with?
[05:17] ---
    Huh? None of my business?
    Don't say that, Mom!
[05:22] ---
    Hello?
[05:23] ---
    You don't need to be so much like me.
[05:34] ---
    A rainy Foundation Day.
[05:35] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[05:51] ---
    The schedule being pushed back a day
    helps greatly. Especially for Touma's sake.
[05:57] ---
    Do you plan to use only
    Touma all the way to the final?
[06:02] ---
    It would be ideal to win a game
    with the mercy rule somewhere
[06:05] ---
    to reduce the number
    of innings he needs to pitch.
[06:08] ---
    But we don't have that kind of offense.
[06:11] ---
    Well, we'll just ride
    this as far as we... Huh?
[06:15] ---
    To the final?
[06:18] ---
    Yes, to the final.
[06:20] ---
    No, wait. I'm not expecting
    us to make it that far.
[06:25] ---
    Why not?
[06:26] ---
    Why not? It's only been four months
    since I became manager.
[06:30] ---
    That's being impudent!
[06:32] ---
    You have a point.
[06:33] ---
    Even if we continue winning,
    it won't be because of your managing skills.
[06:38] ---
    You fool! None of that matters!
[06:41] ---
    It does matter!
[06:43] ---
    We've got to show Mom!
[06:46] ---
    Show her how great a leader you are, Dad!
[06:49] ---
    You did so much during your days as a coach,
    but she never came to see a single game!
[06:54] ---
    She knows absolutely nothing about you!
[06:59] ---
    She knows a lot about me.
[07:03] ---
    She sees that I went out to
    play ball all day with great passion,
[07:08] ---
    knowing there was little money
    in it and ignoring the family.
[07:11] ---
    That I was not much of a father.
[07:14] ---
    Doesn't it frustrate you?
[07:16] ---
    Why should I be frustrated?
[07:18] ---
    It was my dream to become Meisei's manager.
[07:21] ---
    You're wrong.
[07:23] ---
    Your dream is to take
    Meisei to Koshien again!
[07:30] ---
    Oh. Yeah.
[07:32] ---
    That's right, Koshien. Yes, Koshien.
[07:36] ---
    Huh?
[07:38] ---
    What is it?
[07:39] ---
    Are you really a great leader?
[07:42] ---
    Yes?
[07:43] ---
    You did so much when you were a coach,
[07:46] ---
    but all you did was develop
    a weak team into a regular team.
[07:51] ---
    Sure, you were popular among club members,
[07:54] ---
    but they treated you more like a friend,
    and didn't necessarily respect you.
[07:57] ---
    Hold on there.
[07:59] ---
    Why were you able to become
    Meisei's manager in the first place?
[08:02] ---
    What's this?
[08:03] ---
    Who contacted you?
[08:06] ---
    Wait a minute.
[08:07] ---
    Were there no other candidates?
[08:09] ---
    Come on!
[08:10] ---
    Did they draw your name out of a hat?
[08:12] ---
    That's enough!
[08:14] ---
    "Punch"
[08:17] ---
    See you later!
[08:19] ---
    Otomi! It's for you!
[08:40] ---
    "Akai"
[08:46] ---
    Out of my way.
[08:50] ---
    It's you again.
[08:52] ---
    Is Ryou not home?
[08:54] ---
    I don't know.
[08:56] ---
    I haven't checked yet, so I can't be sure.
[08:59] ---
    What do you want with him?
[09:00] ---
    I promised to lend Ryou a book.
[09:04] ---
    I was going to give it
    to him at school tomorrow.
[09:07] ---
    But I happened to be in the neighborhood.
[09:13] ---
    You always have too
    much time on your hands.
[09:16] ---
    Ryou! Ryou!
[09:21] ---
    It doesn't look like he's home.
[09:22] ---
    I see. Well, excuse me.
[09:25] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[09:30] ---
    Hey!
[09:33] ---
    You said you're classmates
    with Ryou, didn't you?
[09:37] ---
    What about it?
[09:39] ---
    Then you go to Meisei Junior High.
[09:42] ---
    Naturally.
[09:43] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[09:44] ---
    Why are you wearing a
    windbreaker from Toushu High School?
[09:48] ---
    Oh, this?
[09:51] ---
    I didn't want the clothes
    I just bought to get wet.
[09:54] ---
    So I borrowed this from my brother.
[09:57] ---
    Your brother...
[09:59] ---
    What was it again?
[10:01] ---
    Yes?
[10:02] ---
    Your name!
[10:03] ---
    The name's Mita! So what?
[10:07] ---
    Mita...
[10:11] ---
    Hey!
[10:14] ---
    Come in for some tea.
[10:19] ---
    What?
[10:35] ---
    The rain's coming down harder again!
[10:38] ---
    That's why I told you
    to jog in the gymnasium.
[10:41] ---
    I can't get excited running indoors.
[10:47] ---
    Hey!
[10:48] ---
    What is it?
[10:49] ---
    I forgot to bring a change of clothes.
[10:52] ---
    Good grief.
[10:53] ---
    Hang tight. I'll call home and have
    Otomi bring you something to change into.
[10:59] ---
    I'll be right there.
[11:01] ---
    Hello!
[11:04] ---
    She went out?
[11:06] ---
    Yeah? Is that so? OK.
[11:10] ---
    She says to go get it yourself.
[11:13] ---
    How fortunate that we live across the street.
[11:16] ---
    Otomi's not home?
[11:18] ---
    No.
[11:19] ---
    I hear she left in the morning.
[11:21] ---
    In this rain? To do what?
[11:25] ---
    I hear she's on a date.
[11:27] ---
    Huh?
[11:28] ---
    In this rain?
[11:30] ---
    She's on a date.
[11:33] ---
    On a rainy day like today?
[11:35] ---
    She's on a date.
[11:48] ---
    A rainy Foundation Day.
[11:52] ---
    Afternoon.
[12:16] ---
    Thunder?
[12:18] ---
    Yeah. I hear it, in the distance.
[12:24] ---
    I've got no choice. I'm going home
    to get a change of clothes.
[12:28] ---
    Do you want to call first?
[12:30] ---
    Never mind. I have a key.
[12:33] ---
    I mean, give Otomi a call.
[12:38] ---
    Don't bother.
[12:41] ---
    That's the surest way for
    a family member to be hated.
[12:48] ---
    Oh! Lightning!
[13:00] ---
    Oh boy.
[13:04] ---
    What's with that expression?
[13:05] ---
    Try to enjoy this more.
    We're having fun, after all.
[13:09] ---
    This expression has
    nothing to do with the score.
[13:12] ---
    Oh! A perfect split!
[13:22] ---
    Here you are, Otomi.
[13:24] ---
    Thank you.
[13:25] ---
    Hurry and bowl your second roll!
[13:31] ---
    That's the current distance
    between you and Otomi.
[13:34] ---
    If you can get them closer, go ahead and try!
[13:53] ---
    So close!
[13:54] ---
    Dangerously close!
[13:58] ---
    OK! My turn next.
[14:01] ---
    Watch me, Otomi.
[14:04] ---
    OK.
[14:05] ---
    --This is where I show her that I'm a man!
    --What is he doing here?!
[14:08] ---
    --This is where I show her that I'm a man!
    --Oh.
[14:09] ---
    Boys and girls, do not do what he's doing.
[14:12] ---
    I was about to leave when he called me.
[14:15] ---
    He asked me if I happened
    to get a call from you.
[14:20] ---
    So I told him I did.
[14:22] ---
    Why did you tell him?! We're on a date!
[14:26] ---
    Huh?
[14:31] ---
    All right!
[14:35] ---
    Come on. You asked me
    to go bowling with you.
[14:38] ---
    I was just thinking that
    I wanted to get some exercise
[14:42] ---
    and figured the more the merrier.
[14:48] ---
    Yay! That was awesome!
[14:51] ---
    A date?
[14:52] ---
    I hesitated many times,
    afraid that you might say no.
[14:57] ---
    I finally worked up the
    courage to make that phone call.
[15:03] ---
    Don't underestimate the read
    and instincts of a skilled pitcher.
[15:06] ---
    I know every action you plan to take.
[15:10] ---
    You need a lot more training
    to be able to outwit me.
[15:14] ---
    Akai.
[15:15] ---
    Hurry and bowl your second throw!
[15:20] ---
    I rolled it.
[15:22] ---
    You left so many pins.
[15:25] ---
    I'm the type to politely hit the corners.
[15:29] ---
    Don't compare me to common pitchers
    who easily throw it right down the middle.
[15:35] ---
    Well, I won't even talk
    about the first throw.
[15:38] ---
    I trust you haven't forgotten our promise
    that the one with the lowest score
[15:42] ---
    pays for the games we bowl.
[15:46] ---
    It's already decided, right?
[15:49] ---
    I have a handicap of 20,
    so you're right about me.
[15:53] ---
    But since you've been aiming
    too much for the corners,
[15:55] ---
    you've left him with a chance to beat you.
[15:58] ---
    What? You're kidding.
[16:09] ---
    --Let's see, if I get a strike
    in the last frame, then...
[16:13] ---
    --I'm sorry.
    --Let's see, if I get a strike
    in the last frame, then...
[16:15] ---
    I was being insensitive.
[16:17] ---
    I'll be careful from now on.
[16:29] ---
    Oh boy.
[16:39] ---
    There's no way that
    Otomi Tachibana is insensitive.
[16:43] ---
    I know very well that you meant no harm.
[16:46] ---
    So you have no need to apologize to some
    lonely guy who asks you out to go bowling
[16:52] ---
    and decides on his own that it's a date!
    You mustn't apologize!
[16:56] ---
    Oh, but the average girl would
    have picked up on such things, right?
[17:00] ---
    I'm sure.
[17:02] ---
    You're not an average girl.
[17:04] ---
    Yes?
[17:06] ---
    You're special. Otomi Tachibana.
[17:14] ---
    This is where an average girl
    would fall for you, right?
[17:18] ---
    I'm sure.
[17:19] ---
    You had me worried!
[17:21] ---
    There's no chance I'll lose unless I miss
[17:25] ---
    and Akai finishes off
    the final frame with strikes!
[17:29] ---
    Good job! You were finally
    able to calculate that!
[17:32] ---
    Ahem!
[17:33] ---
    Second throw, coming up!
[17:36] ---
    Boys and girls, definitely
    do not do what she's doing.
[17:43] ---
    That's the current distance
    between me and Otomi.
[17:48] ---
    Yes!
[17:50] ---
    I see...
[17:59] ---
    OK!
[18:01] ---
    Next, we'll compete at
    a batting center, Akai!
[18:05] ---
    That's not fair!
[18:07] ---
    Of course, I'll give you a handicap.
[18:09] ---
    I'll face 130 kph pitches,
    and you face 100 kph pitches.
[18:12] ---
    We'll see which one of us
    can get more clear hits.
[18:15] ---
    Otomi will decide whether
    or not they're hits.
[18:17] ---
    Huh?
[18:18] ---
    Well?
[18:19] ---
    I'll do it.
[18:20] ---
    What?
[18:21] ---
    OK, then it's decided.
[18:23] ---
    Now that it's decided,
    let's move to our next location.
[18:32] ---
    I see.
[18:34] ---
    Otomi received a call from Akai after nine.
[18:37] ---
    She was invited to go bowling
[18:39] ---
    and was ready to leave at about 10:30.
[18:43] ---
    Yeah, I think those times are about right.
[18:47] ---
    How did she seem at the time?
[18:48] ---
    Huh?
[18:51] ---
    A. She seemed to be having fun.
[18:52] ---
    "A. Having fun"
[18:54] ---
    B. She seemed unwilling and reluctant.
[18:55] ---
    "A. Having fun"
    "B. Unwilling"
[18:57] ---
    C. She was so excited,
    she began skipping about.
[18:58] ---
    "A. Having fun"
    "B. Unwilling"
    "C. Skipping"
[19:04] ---
    I guess that would be "A."
[19:07] ---
    But she only said she was going bowling.
[19:10] ---
    She didn't say anything
    about it being a date, right?
[19:13] ---
    You're right.
[19:14] ---
    But that has to be a date.
[19:17] ---
    Don't be so sure. It all has
    to do with what she thinks.
[19:21] ---
    It's not for others to decide.
[19:24] ---
    So, what was she dressed in?
[19:26] ---
    A. She was wearing something fancy.
[19:27] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
[19:29] ---
    B. No different from what she usually wears.
[19:30] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
    "B. What she usually wears"
[19:32] ---
    C. A jersey.
[19:32] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
    "B. What she usually wears"
    "C. Jersey"
[19:34] ---
    Let's see...
[19:35] ---
    See you later!
[19:40] ---
    Yeah, I'd say no different
    from what she usually wears.
[19:43] ---
    Then no sweat.
[19:45] ---
    It's raining, so I think that's appropriate.
[19:48] ---
    Yes, I guess so.
[19:50] ---
    An outfit for a rainy day.
[19:53] ---
    And, just as Otomi was about to leave,
[19:56] ---
    she got a phone call.
[19:58] ---
    A phone call? From who?
[20:01] ---
    Oh dear. What was his name?
[20:04] ---
    He's in Otomi's class and
    a member of the baseball team.
[20:06] ---
    With a funny name.
[20:08] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno?
[20:10] ---
    That's it! That boy, that boy!
[20:13] ---
    Did Otomi tell him?
[20:15] ---
    That she's on her way
    to go bowling with Akai?
[20:18] ---
    Yes she did. Including when and
    where they were meeting and other stuff.
[20:27] ---
    The phone.
[20:28] ---
    Right away.
[20:30] ---
    Hello?
[20:32] ---
    Yes?
[20:35] ---
    All right.
[20:37] ---
    Touma. You're asked to return at once
    because meetings are about to begin.
[20:42] ---
    That was from Souichirou.
[20:43] ---
    Oops, I forgot. I came
    home to get some clothes.
[20:47] ---
    See you later!
[20:48] ---
    Goodbye!
[20:58] ---
    "Soccer Team: Akai (Ryou)"
    "Grade Nine"
[21:06] ---
    Can we add that one as a hit, too?
[21:09] ---
    Go right ahead.
[21:25] ---
    How many hits is a home run?
[21:27] ---
    The number of bases don't matter!
    Every hit counts as one hit!
[21:45] ---
    Give me a break, Soccer Team!

    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Our head of the household,
    Eisuke Tachibana, is very mysterious.
[23:28] ---
    It appears to be true that
    he's a businessman...
[23:31] ---
    ...but we already had our detached home
    with a yard as far back as I can remember.
[23:34] ---
    He says he's not interested in promotions...
[23:37] ---
    ...but we have no idea
    what he does during the day.
[23:39] ---
    Not to mention, he drinks beer
    and falls asleep every night.
[23:42] ---
    "Do You Envy Them?"
[23:42] ---
    But he's able to support four family members.
[23:44] ---
    Next time, "Do You Envy Them?"
[23:45] ---
    In a way, I do envy him.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
