The Deep Blue Sea Is Everyone's Treasure
[00:10] Kokona
Wow!
[00:12] Kokona
We haven't even been away six months,
but this is so nostalgic.
[00:16] Kokona
I feel so relaxed now.
[00:18] Kokona
But should we really be here?
The audition is tomorrow...
[00:23] Shizuka
This is necessary, though.
[00:25] Kokona
Huh?
[00:27] Shizuka
Do you remember when you first said you
wanted to become a World Dai Star?
[00:33] Kokona
Um...
[00:35] Kokona
I think it was about when
I graduated middle school.
[00:38] Kokona
I wrote it on my future plans survey at school
[00:40] Kokona
and my teacher looked so done with me.
[00:43] Kokona
Oh, but I might've told
someone in class before that...
[00:49] Kokona
Huh?
[00:51] (Flashback) Young Kokona
I'm going to be a World Dai Star!
[00:54] (Flashback) Young Kokona
That's what I want to be!
[00:58] Kokona
I told someone even before that...
[01:03] Shizuka
Well, I figured you didn't remember, but...
[01:08] Shizuka
I'll tell you what you're missing, Kokona.
[01:11] Kokona
Huh?
[01:17] Shizuka
The great age of theater...
[01:20] Shizuka
This is the story of how to make
one girl's dream come true.
[01:39] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[02:57] Sign
Our Promise
[03:02] Shizuka
There was once a town
that was the beating heart of theater.
[03:06] Shizuka
A town where actors and actresses
played all kinds of roles,
[03:10] Shizuka
bringing countless stories to life.
[03:15] Shizuka
A certain young girl lived there as well.
[03:20] Shizuka
She loved picture books and the
stories her parents would tell her.
[03:25] Shizuka
Eventually, she would become a storyteller
too and try various roles herself.
[03:31] Kokona
That's...
[03:34] Shizuka
That was when the girl first saw...
[03:37] Shizuka
a production put on by
actors called Dai Stars.
[03:45] Shizuka
From that moment on,
she was captivated by the stage.
[03:51] Shizuka
She went to the theater over and over
[03:54] Shizuka
and reenacted the plays she saw there.
[03:57] Shizuka
Sometimes, she was a knight
who swore fealty to the king.
[04:01] Shizuka
Others, she was a young man madly in love.
[04:07] Shizuka
She'd get too into her role on occasion
[04:09] Shizuka
and cause trouble for the people around her.
[04:13] Shizuka
Those were fun and happy days for her...
[04:16] Shizuka
But they didn't last long.
[04:20] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
We're moving?
[04:23] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
Our house will be smaller than it is now?
[04:27] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
But why? What about theater?
[04:31] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
I see... The ocean?
[04:35] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
Yeah, that sounds fun.
[04:39] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
It's okay. I'll just go to see plays
by saving up my allowance.
[04:47] Shizuka
And so the girl arrived in a new town
where the sea and sky stretched out forever.
[04:51] Shizuka
The scenery was unfamiliar,
and so were the people.
[04:55] Shizuka
The theater was so far away,
[04:59] Shizuka
she had to take multiple trains to reach it.
[05:02] Shizuka
Her parents were busy and didn't
come home until late into the evenings.
[05:08] Shizuka
On top of that... she had trouble
making friends right away.
[05:17] Shizuka
She was bored to tears when she was alone.
[05:23] Kokona
That's right.
[05:26] Kokona
I...
[05:59] Shizuka
The little girl recalled the plays she'd seen
[06:03] Shizuka
and brought that dream world back to her,
one performance at a time.
[06:13] Shizuka
Day after day, she never tired of it.
[06:19] Shizuka
But being by yourself is a lonely thing.
[06:28] Shizuka
Then one day...
[06:38] Kokona
I remember now.
[06:40] Shizuka
We finally met.
[06:43] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Could you do that one more time?
[06:49] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You must like acting. I love it too!
[06:56] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Then let's do it together!
[07:01] Kokona
The first friend I made after moving here...
[07:06] Kokona
She wasn't anyone from school,
and I could only meet her here.
[07:11] Kokona
She loved acting,
knew all the plays I had seen,
[07:16] Kokona
and was a better actor than me.
[07:19] Shizuka
We always wanted the same roles,
and you'd always let me have them,
[07:23] Shizuka
just because you thought I'd play them better.
[07:29] Kokona
And my friend would always get mad.
[07:32] Kokona
She'd tell me I wouldn't be able to play
a part well if I kept lying about how I felt.
[07:38] Kokona
That's right...
[07:40] Kokona
How did I forget all of that?
[07:44] Shizuka
Maybe it was because
you couldn't control your Sense yet.
[07:49] Shizuka
Not to mention that this was
the stage we had to work with...
[07:54] Kokona
Stage... my Sense?
[08:04] Shizuka
I'm your Sense, Kokona.
[08:06] Shizuka
The partner you created because you
needed someone to perform with.
[08:17] Shizuka
And...
[08:19] Shizuka
The receptacle for the feelings you couldn't
sustain after you lost your confidence.
[08:26] Kokona
The feelings I couldn't sustain?
[08:31] Shizuka
I want to be on that stage.
[08:34] Shizuka
I want the best role.
I want to outshine everyone...
[08:40] Shizuka
Even if it means knocking other actors down!
[08:44] Shizuka
I'm totally better!
My performance was perfect!
[08:48] Shizuka
I want to be onstage more than anyone!
[08:51] Shizuka
So... why?!
[08:56] Shizuka
Why doesn't anyone see that?!
[08:58] Kokona
That's not what I—
[08:59] Shizuka
You did think it!
[09:01] Shizuka
I know your heart
better than anyone, Kokona.
[09:07] Shizuka
But it's okay to feel that way. You're an actor!
[09:11] Shizuka
Especially if you want
to become a World Dai Star.
[09:16] Shizuka
Don't forget those feelings.
[09:19] Shizuka
So...
[09:21] Kokona
Huh?
[09:24] Shizuka
I'm going to return these feelings to you.
[09:29] Shizuka
I can't take the stage,
so I shouldn't hold on to them.
[09:34] Kokona
No! I don't want them!
You keep them, Shizuka-chan!
[09:37] Kokona
I promise I'll play the roles
exactly how you tell me to!
[09:40] Shizuka
You can't beat Kathrina and the
others with half-hearted acting.
[09:48] Kokona
But... I'm scared.
[09:52] Kokona
This is too sudden...
[09:54] Kokona
Without you, Shizuka-chan, I...
[09:58] Shizuka
I told you from the start.
[10:00] Shizuka
This is the story of how you make
your dream come true, Kokona.
[10:05] Shizuka
I'm not the star, so my role ends here.
[10:11] Kokona
Shizuka-chan...
[10:20] Kokona
Shizuka-chan!
[10:22] Shizuka
I know you can make it happen, Kokona.
[10:25] Shizuka
I can't wait to see your Phantom.
[10:46] Kokona
Shizuka-chan...
[11:03] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[11:20] Sasuga
It's almost time for the audition.
[11:22] Panda
Yeah.
[11:25] Panda
Kathrin, how's your right eye doing?
[11:29] Kathrina
It's the worst.
[11:34] Niizuma
Kokona-san...
[11:37] Hiiragi
Are the four of you ready?
[11:40] Hiiragi
Kokona was supposed to go first,
[11:42] Hiiragi
but if she's not here in time,
she's not fit to play the role.
[11:45] Hiiragi
Kathrina, I know you're not in your
best condition, but are you ready?
[11:49] Kathrina
Yes, of course.
[11:53] Hiiragi
Then come up to the stage—
[11:55] Kokona
I'm sorry I'm late!
[12:01] Kokona
Please let me, Kokona Otori,
play the role of the Phantom.
[12:14] Hiiragi
You're always like this.
[12:17] Hiiragi
Kathrina, do you mind if Kokona goes first?
[12:20] Kathrina
That's fine. I'm the one who's
going to win in the end.
[12:24] Hiiragi
Kokona, you'll be docked
points for being late.
[12:28] Hiiragi
Do you still want to audition?
[12:30] Kokona
Yes! Please let me do this!
[12:56] Kokona (Phantom)
I always have the same dream...
[13:00] Kokona (Phantom)
I'm walking under the sun
with nothing to hide.
[13:07] Kokona (Phantom)
I can dine out like normal people do.
[13:10] Panda
This is the scene where
Christine takes off his mask
[13:11] Kokona (Phantom)
I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[13:13] Panda
and he becomes enraged but
also tells her how he feels.
[13:16] Kokona (Phantom)
No matter how unsightly I am...
[13:29] Shizuka
Being on a real stage was blinding.
[13:33] Shizuka
Kokona's growth was blinding.
[13:39] Shizuka
I want to be up there too.
[13:42] Shizuka
I wonder if I'll be able to stand on
that stage overflowing with light.
[13:50] Kokona (Phantom)
I still seek the light.
[13:54] Niizuma
There's no rage or resentment.
[13:56] Niizuma
This is how the Phantom
feels inside as a person.
[13:59] Kathrina
Pure admiration for the stage?
[14:02] Kathrina
To think she'd play the Phantom
with that look on her face...
[14:19] Kokona (Phantom)
I shall channel my rage into song!
[14:22] Kokona (Phantom)
As my heart wills!
[14:24] Kokona (Phantom)
So that I may forget my loneliness!
[14:30] Kokona (Phantom)
Music? It must be the opera.
[14:36] Kokona (Phantom)
I cannot stand the sound of it.
[14:39] Kokona (Phantom)
Let me play!
[14:41] Kokona (Phantom)
I'll give you a true opera!
[14:44] Kokona (Phantom)
It should be me!
[14:46] Niizuma
That's the anger and loneliness
Shizuka-san portrayed.
[14:46] Kokona (Phantom)
No, that's impossible...
[14:48] Kokona (Phantom)
I am but a shadow.
[14:51] Kokona (Phantom)
A hideous monster.

[15:11] Kathrina
I totally lost.
[15:13] Sasuga
Are you crying?
[15:14] Kathrina
No!
[15:16] Kathrina
I gave that performance my all.
I have no regrets.
[15:19] Panda
The loneliness and rage of the Phantom
hiding deep within the opera house...
[15:22] Panda
I thought expressing that was the key to
showing the Phantom's fear and sadness.
[15:29] Niizuma
The variations of the
Phantom we tried to play
[15:32] Niizuma
are probably extensions
of Hiiragi-san's Phantom.
[15:37] Niizuma
I'm sure that she saw new
potential in Kokona-san.

[15:44] Sasuga
His heart's weakness, its purity...
The longing to step outside...
[15:50] Sasuga
The annoyance, jealousy, and sadness
of being denied what he wants...
[15:56] Sasuga
I'm surprised she played the role
in such a complex way.
[16:00] Panda
I wonder what happened.
[16:06] Niizuma
It must be... Shizuka-san...
[16:15] Shamo
Your Phantom was wonderful.
[16:18] Kokona
Shamo-san...
[16:19] Shamo
You don't look like an actor
who just got the role.
[16:23] Shamo
Seems you haven't been able
to shake off the Phantom yet.
[16:27] Kokona
I don't think I'll ever be able
to shake him off again.
[16:32] Kokona
That wasn't actually the Phantom.
[16:34] Kokona
It was the Shizuka-chan who
disappeared into my heart.
[16:38] Shamo
I see.
[16:41] Shamo
Is this really how an actor who wants
to become a Dai Star should be looking?
[16:46] Kokona
Huh?
[16:47] Shamo
Even after this production is done,
your time on stage won't come to an end.
[16:53] Shamo
I've watched many actors over
the years. That's how I know.
[16:59] Shamo
You still don't truly understand yourself.
[17:03] Shamo
To be on the stage
is to find yourself through acting.
[17:09] Shamo
Your Sense is born by facing the
brilliance that lies dormant within you.
[17:17] Kokona
Find myself...?
[17:21] Shamo
Why don't we go downstairs?
[17:28] Shamo
Have a seat.
[17:31] Kokona
Okay.
[17:34] Shamo
Close your eyes.
[17:40] Shamo
In front of you is your other self.
[17:44] Shamo
The person you need to talk to.
[17:48] Shamo
Go on, ask her. Ask her what
you want to do right now.
[17:54] Kokona
What I... want to do?
[18:12] Kokona
Why did I want to become
a World Dai Star again?
[18:17] Young Kokona
You even forgot something that important?
[18:22] Young Kokona
It's because you love the theater.
[18:24] Kokona
But that's not a rational thought to have.
[18:27] Kokona
They're, like, the best of the absolute best.
[18:30] Young Kokona
Well, you fell in love with them.
What can you do?
[18:35] Young Kokona
Besides, it's not just my dream.
[18:39] Kokona
Huh?
[18:41] Young Kokona
I would've lost hope if I'd been alone,
so I needed her.
[18:49] Young Kokona
Remember our promise.
[18:58] (Flashback) Young Kokona
It's no use. I've only ever
acted in front of my parents...
[19:04] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
It's always easy to find reasons
not to do something.
[19:07] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You know that, Kokona.
[19:10] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
What's important is how you feel!
How you feel, Kokona!
[19:13] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
What do you want to do?
[19:16] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Me?
[19:17] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
I'll give you some advice.
You need to say your dreams out loud.
[19:22] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Say you're going to make them come true
and make yourself believe it!
[19:25] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Make myself believe it? How?
[19:29] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
It's easy.
[19:31] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Just play the part of a girl with dreams!
[19:34] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Play the part?
[19:36] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Become her!
[19:38] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
All so you can make your dream come
true and become a World Dai Star.
[19:43] (Flashback) Young Kokona
What about you, Shizuka-chan?
[19:44] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Huh?
[19:45] (Flashback) Young Kokona
You're not going to be one, Shizuka-chan?
[19:50] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You're going to become one for me too!
[19:57] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Okay.
[19:59] (Flashback) Young Kokona
I'm going to be a World Dai Star!
[20:02] (Flashback) Young Kokona
That's what I want to be!
[20:03] (Flashback) Young Kokona
If I can become one,
I know you'll be one too, Shizuka-chan!
[20:08] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Then someday...
[20:10] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Someday, let's take the stage together!
[20:19] (Flashback) Young Kokona
It's a promise!
[20:21] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Yeah, it's a promise.
[20:31] Kokona
Someday, let's take the stage together...
[20:43] Shamo
Kokona-chan?
[20:46] Kokona
I'm going to go rehearse with everyone...
[20:49] Kokona
so that I can see Shizuka-chan again!
[21:00] Panda
Koko-chan...
[21:02] Kokona
I have to work hard for Shizuka-chan, too.
[21:06] Kokona
I need to make The Phantom of the Opera
a success so I can become a World Dai Star.
[21:13] Kokona
So...
[21:15] Kokona
Please help me out, everyone!
I need your help!
[21:23] Panda
The hell?!
[21:28] Panda
You got nothing to worry about!
We're your friends, after all.
[21:33] Sasuga
The only thing that should
be dense is French baguettes.
[21:36] Niizuma
We'll rehearse with you lots!
[21:40] Kokona
Everyone...
[21:42] Kathrina
Kokona!
[21:44] Kathrina
You can have the role of the Phantom,
but this time, I'm going to upstage you!
[21:48] Kathrina
You'd better be ready!
[21:50] Kokona
Kathrina-chan...
[21:52] Panda
You're so young and edgy, Kathrin.
[21:54] Sasuga
So edgy I might cut myself.
[21:56] Kathrina
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[21:58] Niizuma
That you're edgy.
[21:59] Kathrina
No, really! What does that even mean?!
