[00:37] KOTAROU
    Hey, personal space!
[00:41] HARUKA
    I'm back.
[00:42] ALICE
    Oh, Haru-chan! Welcome back.
[00:45] KOTAROU
    We've got a guest, Haru.
[00:47] KOUYA
    Hello.
[00:49] KOUYA
    I'm Madoka Kouya.
[00:51] HARUKA
    You're that guy.
[00:53] FUTOSHI
    You won't believe this, Haruka.
[00:55] FUTOSHI
    He says he wants to sponsor us
    because he fell in love with your driving.
[00:59] HARUKA
    My driving?
[01:00] KOTAROU
    Apparently, he's a cameraman from Tokyo.
[01:03] KOUYA
    I'm a photographer. I take photographs.
[01:07] FUTOSHI
    He took a picture of you yesterday, too.
[01:15] FUTOSHI
    See? Right in the fun zone, right?
[01:17] ALICE
    You mean "right in the feels."
[01:21] KOTAROU
    Ha! He said right in the fun zone.
[01:27] KOUYA
    Wait, I need that for work!
[01:29] KOUYA
    I haven't paid it off yet!
[03:03] KOUYA
    But seriously, I was really impressed.
[03:06] KOUYA
    When you rounded that corner,
    I was leaning forward without realizing.
[03:12] KOUYA
    I wasn't expecting the kid who said
    he races alone to fight so hard.
[03:17] HARUKA
    I dropped out of that race, though.
[03:19] KOUYA
    Oh, sorry. I know that,
    but that's not what I meant.
[03:24] KOUYA
    It reminded me of what
    it means to really go for it.
[03:31] KOUYA
    I felt like I had to do something.
[03:35] HARUKA
    You must be in demand.
[03:37] KOUYA
    What?
[03:38] SIGN
    Komaki Motors
[03:38] HARUKA
    I mean, since you want to sponsor us.
    Cameramen must make a lot of money.
[03:44] KOUYA
    Oh, no, I'm not one of those
    hotshot photographers
[03:47] KOUYA
    handling shoots of popular artists,
     so I don't make much.
[03:50] HARUKA
    What?
[03:51] KOUYA
    What?
[03:58] KOUYA
    Look at this.
[03:59] KOUYA
    I can't believe you use a
    wooden plank to reinforce the body.
[04:04] KOUYA
    What a difference from Ena-san's shiny cars.
[04:11] KOUYA
    But don't worry.
[04:13] KOUYA
    Now that I'm your sponsor,
    you won't have to settle for—
[04:16] HARUKA
    It's a skid block.
[04:18] KOUYA
    What?
[04:19] HARUKA
    You stick a wooden plank on the bottom
    of the chassis to reduce downforce.
[04:24] HARUKA
    It makes it safer.
    It's not for reinforcing the body.
[04:28] HARUKA
    There are regulations around it.
    If the plank is too thin, you're disqualified.
[04:33] KOUYA
    There's a rule like that?
[04:35] KOUYA
    So it's there to prevent the
    car's body from going too low?
[04:40] HARUKA
    How much do you think those tires cost?
[04:43] KOUYA
    What? Uh, well, normal tires
    cost around 20k apiece,
[04:49] KOUYA
    and I'm sure they're more
    expensive than that, so...
[04:52] HARUKA
    One set costs roughly 100k.
[04:53] KOUYA
    That's a lot.
[04:55] HARUKA
    Well, they're specialized.
[04:57] KOUYA
    B-But I think I can afford 100k.
[05:00] HARUKA
    We need three sets for each event,
     and there are seven events a year.
[05:04] HARUKA
    We use them in practice, too,
    so tires alone cost 2.5 million a year.
[05:10] HARUKA
    But that's just for privateers like us.
[05:13] HARUKA
    Top teams put in a lot of practice,
    so they spend over four million a year.
[05:17] HARUKA
    Four...
[05:20] HARUKA
    We rent the engine. Including overhaul fees,
    it costs 1.05 million a year.
[05:25] HARUKA
    On top of that, there are repair costs,
    replacement parts, oil, and fuel.
[05:31] HARUKA
    At minimum, it all costs
     about 11 million a year.
[05:34] HARUKA
    Depends on the team, of course.
[05:36] HARUKA
    Belsorriso probably spends
    around 18 million a year.
[05:39] HARUKA
    Since Komaki Motors is a garage,
    we save on labor costs, so it's way cheaper.
[05:44] HARUKA
    But for someone who still
    hasn't paid off his camera...
[05:56] SIGN
    Komaki Motors
[05:57] HARUKA
    I don't think it's possible for someone
     with no money or knowledge
[06:00] HARUKA
    to sponsor a team on
    enthusiasm and spirit alone.
[06:15] FUTOSHI
    Sorry. He's such a little brat.
[06:20] FUTOSHI
    I kind of figured a cameraman from
    Tokyo must make a lot of money, too.
[06:25] KOUYA
    I'm sorry I couldn't live up
     to your expectations.
[06:28] FUTOSHI
    I'm kidding. I'm just glad you're interested.
[06:32] FUTOSHI
    People have drifted away
    from motorsports recently.
[06:39] FUTOSHI
    It's a keepsake from a friend.
[06:42] KOUYA
    What?
[06:44] FUTOSHI
    Despite how I look,
    I used to go hard back in the day.
[06:48] FUTOSHI
    They called me Futoshi the Fixer.
[06:50] FUTOSHI
    Haruka's dad was our driver then.
[06:54] FUTOSHI
    For whatever reason, we got along.
[06:56] FUTOSHI
    Our families were close.
[06:59] FUTOSHI
    When his wife was hospitalized,
    we looked after Haruka.
[07:05] FUTOSHI
    Two years after she passed away,
    I quit the team to take over this place.
[07:12] FUTOSHI
    And right after that, Toru—Haruka's dad—
     had an accident during a race.
[07:22] FUTOSHI
    For the first few years,
    Haruka lived with relatives.
[07:28] FUTOSHI
    But then, he walked here.
    It took him two whole days.
[07:32] FUTOSHI
    He was just a grade school kid.
[07:36] FUTOSHI
    He said he wanted to be a racer like
    his dad and begged to join the team.
[07:43] FUTOSHI
    He apparently didn't know I'd quit the team.
[07:47] FUTOSHI
    He clenched his little fists as hard
    as he could and bowed his head.
[07:51] FUTOSHI
    Just thinking about it now still gets to me.
[07:56] FUTOSHI
    That's when I had a thought.
[07:59] FUTOSHI
    Since I'd quit the team, I could make my own.
[08:04] FUTOSHI
    Haruka's been our boy ever since. Our driver.
[08:09] FUTOSHI
    Our budget's minuscule, but both my son
    Kotarou and I can work on cars.
[08:15] FUTOSHI
    Haruka's impudent,
[08:17] FUTOSHI
    but in between practicing, he delivers
     newspapers to earn money for us.
[08:24] KOUYA
    So that's why.
[08:26] FUTOSHI
    I keep telling him he doesn't have to,
[08:30] FUTOSHI
    but he gets his considerate nature
    and his tenacity from his dad.
[08:35] KOUYA
    I'm sorry. I...
[08:37] FUTOSHI
    It's fine. I appreciate the thought.
[08:41] FUTOSHI
    Thanks for complimenting Haruka. Really.
[08:54] KOUYA
    What am I doing?
[08:57] KOUYA
    I got all excited by myself
    and showed up unannounced.

[09:26] SAEKO

[09:28] KOUYA
    Uh, yeah, I had something to do.
[09:31] SAEKO
    Well, whatever.

    By the way, are you free tomorrow?
[09:35] SAEKO
    I'd like you to shoot something.
[09:38] KOUYA
    Tomorrow?
[09:39] SAEKO
    They said if they were allowed to
    request a photographer, they wanted you.
[09:43] KOUYA
    They who?
[09:45] SAEKO
    You did a shoot for him before.
    Ena-san of Belsorriso.
[09:50] SAEKO

[10:12] KOUYA
    Ena-san.
[10:14] ENA
    Welcome. Thanks for coming.
[10:17] KOUYA
    Good afternoon. Thanks for
    requesting my services today.
[10:21] ENA
    I know you must be busy.
[10:23] ENA
    Okay, shall we go?
[10:25] KOUYA
    What?
[10:26] ENA
    To our garage.
[10:28] ENA
    I'll drive.
[10:54] KOUYA
    Wow.
[10:56] ENA
    Take whatever shots you want.
[10:57] ENA
    I'll leave all the
    photography stuff up to you.
[11:03] KOUYA
    By the way, Belsorriso's main
    category is the Super GT, isn't it?
[11:11] ENA
    Oh, yeah. The 500 and 300.
[11:14] ENA
    I guess all the 300s are out right now.
[11:17] KOUYA
    Right. The 500 and 300.
[11:20] ENA
    I've only just gotten started in F4.
[11:23] KOUYA
    In other words, you own a lot of machines.
[11:27] ENA
    That's right.
[11:28] KOUYA
    That must be very expensive.
[11:31] ENA
    The GT is. In that respect,
    the F4 machines aren't all that expensive.
[11:37] ENA
    After all, F4 is an
    equal conditions category.
[11:40] KOUYA
    Equal conditions?
[11:42] ENA
    All machines race
    under the same conditions.
[11:46] ENA
    You're not allowed to spend money on power.
[11:49] KOUYA
    But it costs 11 million a year.
[11:51] KOUYA
    Uh, though I heard Belsorriso
    might be spending 18 million a year.
[11:57] ENA
    That's cheap for motorsports.
[11:59] KOUYA
    Cheap?
[12:01] ENA
    Another way to put it is we're only allowed
    to spend that much on F4 machines.
[12:06] ENA
    But drivers are different.
[12:09] KOUYA
    What?
[12:11] ENA
    You can spend as much as you like on drivers.
[12:17] KOUYA
    You mean like, a driving school?
[12:19] TOSHIKI
    I'm telling you, battles on the
    brakes won't help your time.
[12:21] ENA
    That's right. Like the racing schools
    of the famous car makers.
[12:23] SATSUKI
    It's fine if you get ahead, but it'll throw you
     off line, and if you're slow to recover...
[12:28] SATSUKI
    it'll hurt your time.
[12:32] ENA
    They also serve as test drivers for projects.
[12:36] ENA
    We help pay for a part
    of the cost in exchange.
[12:40] ENA
    We held auditions and got these two.

    Wow, there are rich companies
    like that in this day and age?
[12:55] HARUKA
    I'm back.
[12:57] KOTAROU
    Welcome back.
[12:59] KOUYA
    Haruka-kun, welcome back.
[13:02] KOTAROU
    Look. He found us potential sponsors.
[13:05] HARUKA
    Potential sponsors?
[13:06] KOUYA
    They seemed interested, but they
    wouldn't agree to anything right away.
[13:10] KOUYA
    So I figured seeing you drive
    would get them down off the fence.
[13:41] SPONSOR CANDIDATE A
    I'm sorry.
[13:42] SPONSOR CANDIDATE A
    We won't be going ahead with it.
[13:46] SPONSOR CANDIDATE B
    Sorry. We won't, either.
[13:48] KOUYA
    But you've only seen him once. You don't
    have to decide based on just this one race.
[13:53] SPONSOR CANDIDATE C
    Let us know if their record improves
    dramatically or they change drivers.
[14:03] KOUYA
    I'm sorry!
[14:04] KOUYA

[15:00] KOUYA
    Oh, Sae-chan's my ex-wife.
[15:06] KOUYA
    Enthusiasm and spirit alone, huh?
[15:09] KOUYA
    You're absolutely right.
[15:12] KOUYA
    Komaki Motors has made it this
    long without support from anyone.
[15:19] KOUYA
    And then, a total amateur like me
    with no knowledge of car racing
[15:22] KOUYA
    suddenly barges in and makes a fuss.
[15:27] KOUYA
    I'm nothing but a nuisance. Sorry.
[15:34] HARUKA
    Uh, it's fine.
[15:37] KOUYA
    So...
[15:42] KOUYA
    I've decided to take my time.
[15:47] KOUYA
    I've worked freelance for a long time.
[15:49] KOUYA
    I'm not that amazing, but I've got a
    decent number of professional connections.
[15:56] KOUYA
    So I'll find someone who
    understands F4 and Komaki Motors.
[16:03] KOUYA
    I'll take my time finding a sponsor
    who will really get what makes you so good.
[16:15] INDEPENDENT BUSINESSMAN
    You in here, Komaki-san?
[16:16] FUTOSHI
    Yeah, what's up?

[19:04] KOUYA
    You're welcome to come
    check it out sometime.
[19:07] BAKER
    Our mornings start early around here.
[19:10] BAKER
    I'll think about it.

[19:16] CAKE
    This is all I can do for you.
[19:19] MASTER
    Good luck, kid.
[19:25] KOUYA
    I didn't think we'd get so few takers.
[19:29] KOUYA
    We did get a lot of other stuff, though.
[19:33] KOUYA
    Well, it'll fuel our driver.
[19:36] KOUYA
    Hey, when you think of it that way,
    does that make them sponsors?
[19:40] KOUYA
    But you can't stick a croquette on a machine.
[19:46] KOUYA
    What's the matter?
[19:49] HARUKA
    Oh, nothing.
[19:52] BOY
    Hey, mister!
[19:55] BOY
    You're a racer, right?
    I saw you in the butcher shop just now.
[19:59] HARUKA
    Oh, yeah.
[20:01] BOY
    That's cool. You're like Raceman!
[20:04] BOY
    You know Raceman?
[20:06] BOY
    He's cool. He's fast. He's super cool.
[20:10] BOY
    Sha-ting! Starting grid!
[20:13] BOY
    Go, Raceman!
[20:16] HARUKA
    U-Um...
[20:18] KOUYA
    Oh, wow! He seems strong.
[20:21] BOY
    He's so strong. He fights bad drivers who
    cause trouble, but he always finishes first.
[20:27] BOY
    Have you ever finished first before?
[20:37] BOY
    "All you need is spirit!"
[20:41] BOY
    That's what Raceman's teacher said.
[20:43] BOY
    If you throw yourself into everything
    with spirit, you'll go zoom and finish first!
[20:53] BOY
    I know. I'll give you something special.
[20:56] BOY
    It'll make you the best.
[20:59] BOY
    Here.
