[00:48] [SONG] ---
    Whoa oh

[00:55] [SONG] ---
    Catch up with and overtake
[00:58] [SONG] ---
    Get a brand new world
[01:00] [SONG] ---
    I put my foot down and push off,
    but the pedal feels so
[01:03] [SONG] ---
    heavy and so hard to start, yeah
[01:06] [SONG] ---
    But once I get going you'll see
[01:08] [SONG] ---
    I'm not moving slow
[01:10] [SONG] ---
    I'm right with you, let's go
[01:13] [SONG] ---
    Race all the way up the hill, see the view
[01:16] [SONG] ---
    I know you feel the awe
[01:18] [SONG] ---
    'cause everywhere we go
[01:20] [SONG] ---
    shines bright for me and you
[01:24] [SONG] ---
    Fly high, far as we can go
[01:28] [SONG] ---
    Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
[01:30] [SONG] ---
    then next the sky, and up to space
[01:33] [SONG] ---
    No delay
[01:35] [SONG] ---
    Fly away!
[01:36] [SONG] ---
    With wind at our backs, faster than a highway

SIGN    Joyous • Part One
[02:08] Takaaki
    All right, is everyone here?
[02:11] everyone
    Yes!
[02:11] everyone
    - All here!
[02:12] someone
    Ready to go.
[02:14] Takaaki
    Then let's get to it.
[02:15] Takaaki
    This is VAZZY and...
[02:16] Shou
    ROCK DOWN's special roundtable, starting now!
[02:19] Takaaki
    Good evening. I'm the leader
    of VAZZY, Takaaki Mamiya,
[02:23] Takaaki
    and tonight, we'd like to introduce
    you to each of us twelve
[02:27] Takaaki
    enchantingly handsome guys.
[02:30] Shou
    I'm the leader of ROCK DOWN, Shou Onoda,
[02:32] Shou
    and it's my pleasure to play
    emcee tonight alongside Takaaki.
[02:36] Shou
    Let's have a wonderful time!
[02:38] Takaaki
    Well then, let's start
    with introductions from VAZZY.
[02:41] Ouka
    I'm Ouka Kira of VAZZY.
    Thanks for watching.
[02:45] Issa
    Issa Kiduku. A pleasure.
[02:47] Futaba
    And I'm his younger brother, Futaba.
    Good evening.
[02:50] Futaba
    We're thrilled to be here tonight!
[02:53] Naosuke
    Okay! I'm Nao! Naosuke Oyama.
[02:56] Naosuke
    The crown jewel of VAZZY!
[02:58] Issa
    Huh?
[02:58] Naosuke
    Er, I try to be! Thanks for watching.
[03:01] Naosuke
    You're up, Yuma.
[03:03] Yuma
    I'm Yuma Shirase from VAZZY.
[03:05] Yuma
    Whether you're new or you already know us,
[03:08] Yuma
    we hope this program
    will show you more about us.
[03:12] Shou
    Let's hear from the ROCK DOWN guys next.
[03:15] Haruto
    All right.
[03:15] Haruto
    I'm ROCK DOWN's youngest shining star
    and number two samurai, Haruto Kujikawa.
[03:20] Haruto
    I'm here to add some hot
    spice to your quiet life.
[03:24] Haruto
    Very pleased to meet you.
[03:26] Reiji
    Man, you dug yourself into
    a hole with that one.
[03:28] Reiji
    Don't worry, folks. Some of us guys
    are a lot easier to understand.
[03:33] Reiji
    I'm with ROCK DOWN too.
    The name's Reiji Amaha.
[03:35] Ayumu
    You're a hard enough act to follow yourself.
[03:38] Ayumu
    I'm Ayumu Tachibana, ROCK DOWN's
    number one samurai, I guess?
[03:42] Ayumu
    Thank you for watching.
[03:44] Gaku
    Ayumu, I can't believe you
    actually went along with that.
[03:46] Gaku
    I'm Gaku Oguro of ROCK DOWN.
[03:48] Gaku
    Hi, everyone! Let's have a great time!
[03:50] Ruka
    Yo! And I'm Ruka Nadumi from ROCK DOWN!
[03:53] Ruka
    Ruka-sama in the house! Glad to be here!
[03:55] Takaaki
    That's the twelve of us
    from VAZZY and ROCK DOWN.
[03:58] Takaaki
    Together, we're VAZZROCK!
[04:00] Takaaki
    Glad to be here!
[04:01] Shou
    Let's move on to our next segment.
    First up is...
[04:06] Naosuke
    Which should I pick?
SIGN    Naosuke Oyama
[04:08] Naosuke
    Aah! There's so many, I can't decide!
[04:11] Yuma
    They said to pick two ultra-rare pictures,
[04:12] Yuma
    one for the segment
    and one for the credit roll, right?
[04:16] Yuma
    This is hard.
[04:17] Futaba
    They also said the pictures are
     supposed to be a total surprise,
[04:21] Futaba
    and that we can't spoil each other.
[04:25] Futaba
    It's kind of exciting!
[04:26] Issa
    Hmm, okay. So something meme-worthy.
[04:29] Futaba
    Hey, bro, don't pick anything weird, okay?
[04:31] Ouka
    This one...
    No, maybe this one's a better shot?
[04:36] Issa
    You can't be serious.
[04:37] Ouka
    About what?
[04:38] Issa
    I mean, whatever. Suit yourself.
[04:40] Futaba
    Okay, I've found mine.
    You find yours yet?
[04:44] Issa
    Just pick for me.
[04:44] Futaba
    Yeah? How about the sexy
    straight-out-of-bed look?
[04:48] Issa
    What?! You took that without my permission!
[04:50] Issa
    Fine. I'll pick for myself.
[04:51] Takaaki
    Guys, have you sent your
    pictures to the staff yet?
[04:55] Naosuke
    Hmm... Okay, then this one and this one.
[04:58] Naosuke
    That does it!
[05:00] Naosuke
    How about you, Takaaki-san?
[05:01] Takaaki
    I think I'll...
[05:03] AD
    We're ready for you on set!
SIGN    Ruka-sama
[05:10] Takaaki
    Whoa! A twofer of the Kiduku brothers.
[05:13] Futaba
    Yeah. That was taken right after we
    met everyone, way back at the start.
[05:18] Futaba
    Pictures of just me and my brother
     are surprisingly rare.
[05:23] Naosuke
    Ours is from around then too.
[05:26] Yuma
    Sure takes me back.
    That was right after our debut.
[05:30] Shou
    You both have great smiles.
[05:32] Reiji
    Oh boy, now we've got the frowny twins.
[05:36] Reiji
    That one's ancient too, right?
[05:37] Ouka
    Yeah, it's probably from right after we met.
[05:41] Issa
    It was a photo shoot for something...
[05:43] Issa
    but I didn't pick this one.
[05:45] Yuma
    That was me!
[05:46] Yuma
    You aren't smiling, but I
    thought you both looked cool.
[05:50] Takaaki
    It's just like Yuma to pick
    someone else's picture.
[05:53] Gaku
    These bring back so many memories!
[05:56] Gaku
    They're all from when we formed our groups.
[05:58] Reiji
    So about five years ago?
[05:59] Reiji
    I remember the company president
    calling us out of the blue.
[06:02] Takaaki
    Saying, "Want to go on an adventure for a year?"
[06:05] Reiji
    Exactly.
[06:06] Ouka
    And somehow we've made it this far.
[06:08] Ouka
    We're already at our fourth anniversary.
[06:11] Ouka
    That's a long time.
[06:13] Ayumu
    Definitely.
[06:14] Ayumu
    We all have such different personalities,
    but we've gotten along all the while.
[06:18] Ayumu
    It's pretty impressive.
[06:20] Naosuke
    Oh, hey, this is also the fourth anniversary
     of me and Yuma's debuts.
[06:24] Yuma
    That's right. VAZZY was our start
    in the entertainment world.
[06:27] Yuma
    You too, right, Futaba-san?
[06:28] Futaba
    Yup, same here.
[06:30] Futaba
    But Issa was already modeling,
    playing in bands, and doing other stuff.
[06:34] Issa
    The band wasn't my real debut, though.
[06:37] Issa
    Compared to guys like Takaaki,
    I've got basically no history in the industry.
[06:40] Reiji
    Yeah, Takaaki and Ouka started
     solo ages ago. Just like me.
[06:45] Reiji
    How long have you guys been in the biz now?
[06:47] Takaaki
    Let's see... I started when I was six, so 23 years?
[06:52] Takaaki
    More than half my life.
[06:54] Ouka
    For me, it's more like my whole life.
[06:57] Ayumu
    Your whole life, huh?
[06:59] Futaba
    You were a baby model, right?
[07:01] Ouka
    Yeah.
[07:02] Ruka
    Whoa! You really have been in it for life!
[07:05] Naosuke
    You're like our super-senpai!
[07:07] Futaba
    Ah, this one's from our concert in '18.
[07:10] Shou
    Wow, you can tell?
[07:11] Shou
    When did you even take this, Haruto?
[07:14] Haruto
    During rehearsals.
[07:15] Haruto
    You looked so happy, I had to.
[07:17] Yuma
    It's cool that you could tell
    Haruto-san took the photo.
[07:22] Ayumu
    I was so nervous back then,
    I probably looked like a mess.
[07:25] Ayumu
    I'm glad no one photoed me then.
[07:27] Takaaki
    Oh, wow! These are from the
    legendary four-day VAZZROCK Festival,
[07:30] Takaaki
    right after Yuma made a surprise
    appearance during the last show.
[07:33] Takaaki
    What a memorable shot.
[07:35] Naosuke
    You got that right! It was so fun!
[07:38] Yuma
    It was close, but I'm glad I made it in time.
[07:41] Ouka
    Each day had different performers,
    but you were all together at the end.
[07:47] Haruto
    We were snapping pictures
     like crazy every day backstage.
[07:51] Haruto
    We got to perform with different people,
    so there were some rare ops indeed.
[07:55] Haruto
    I'm glad we have these mementos.
[07:56] Reiji
    Hey, that's a nice shot. Who took this one?
[07:59] Takaaki
    That would be me!
[08:00] Gaku
    Everyone looks so happy.
[08:02] Futaba
    Except my brother, making a face again.
    You should try smiling sometime.
[08:07] Issa
    Oh, shut up. Ouka wasn't smiling either.
[08:09] Ouka
    Stop comparing me to you. And I was smiling.
[08:13] Ruka
    What? You were?
[08:14] Gaku
    If you look close, the corners of his mouth
    are raised a couple millimeters... I guess?
[08:20] Yuma
    He's right next to Takaaki-san's giant grin.
    Maybe that's why it's hard to tell.
[08:24] Yuma
    Just goes to show what a
    charming smile Takaaki-san has.
[08:28] Naosuke
    Yeah, I totally feel that!
[08:30] Naosuke
    It's so warm and big,
     and it's always there when you need it.
[08:35] Naosuke
    Kind of like the sun!
[08:36] Yuma
    I know, right?
[08:37] Yuma
    He brightens us all up with his smile.
[08:40] Yuma
    It's always so comforting.
[08:41] Takaaki
    Seriously? Wow, I'm flattered!
    You've made my day.
[08:45] Takaaki
    Hi, I'm Takaaki Mamiya,
    and I have a charming smile.
[08:48] Issa
    We get it already.
[08:49] Shou
    If Takaaki is the sun,
     then Ouka must be the moon.
[08:52] Ouka
    I'm the moon?
[08:54] Ayumu
    I think I can see that.
[08:55] Ayumu
    You shine brightly, but quietly.
[08:58] Ayumu
    Just like the moon.
[08:59] Ruka
    Ouka-kun is so cool.
[09:01] Ruka
    I don't think I've ever
    seen him bust out laughing.
[09:04] Ouka
    That's because...
[09:05] Takaaki
    That's just his personality.
[09:08] Takaaki
    But he's started to learn
    more expressions recently.
[09:11] Ouka
    Don't talk like I'm some infant!
    Next picture!
[09:14] Naosuke
    Why is there a cat picture in here?!
[09:15] Ouka
    Vazz and Rock are important
    members too, you know.
[09:18] Issa
    But it's just the cats.
    Why aren't you in the picture?
[09:22] Ouka
    Look closer. I'm right here.
[09:24] Issa
    It's just your hand!
[09:26] Futaba
    Y-You should've shown your face too.
[09:28] Takaaki
    Okay, so that was your intro
    to VAZZROCK in pictures.
[09:34] Takaaki
    Now, we all have other activities
    outside of our groups too.
[09:38] Takaaki
    Why don't we talk about what
    we've been up to recently?
[09:42] Naosuke
    Yeah! To get ready for the VAZZROCK
    Live Flawless concert in two months,
[09:46] Naosuke
    I've been taking dance and singing lessons!
[09:49] Futaba
    I did a live recording session
    for VAZZ Radio the other day.
[09:53] Futaba
    Hopefully I'll start getting invited
    to different shows as a regular guest.
[09:57] Reiji
    Weren't those both jobs
    with your group, though?
[10:00] Naosuke
    Oh, he's right.
[10:01] Futaba
    I guess so.
[10:02] Takaaki
    I meant in addition to your regular jobs.
[10:06] Takaaki
    How about everyone else?
[10:08] Issa
    I'm in a TV drama. I can't say much yet,
    but there should be an announcement soon.
[10:12] Ruka
    I'm doing theater, of course!
[10:14] Ruka
    My agency is collaborating on
    a spin-off of "Tsukihana Kagura."
[10:16] Ruka
    Gaku-kun and I are costarring.
     I know you'll all love it!
[10:20] Shou
    I can't wait to see those
    gorgeous costumes again.
[10:23] Haruto
    The fabrics sure look great.
[10:25] Haruto
    I'd love to try on a cut... while trying
    not to get cut. In a sword fight.
[10:28] Reiji
    Spoken like a true...
    Okay, not quite a true samurai.
[10:31] Reiji
    Oh, right. Takaaki, aren't you
    doing another historical drama?
[10:35] Takaaki
    Yeah. Ouka, Yuma, and I are going
[10:37] Takaaki
    to be in a TV spin-off of Sokai,
     the movie we did together.
[10:42] Ayumu
    Wow, that's great.
SIGN    Sokai
[10:46] Mikazuki (as Shoin)
    Never has there been one possessed of
    complete sincerity who did not move others!
SIGN    Yuzuru Mikaduki as
    Shoin Yoshida
[10:50] Mikazuki (as Shoin)
    Will you help build the future
    of this country with me?
SIGN    Yusho Toi as
    Shinsaku Takasugi
[10:53] Toi (as Takasugi)
    I swore to Shoin-sensei that I
    would transform this nation!
SIGN    Takaaki Mamiya as
    Genzui Kusaka
[10:58] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    When I was just a poor physician,
    Shoin-sensei showed me the way!
[11:03] Yuma (as Ito)
    Now I too have a dream...
[11:05] Yuma (as Ito)
    to save the peasants' way of life.
SIGN    Yuma Shirase as
    Hirobumi Ito
SIGN    Ouka Kira as
    Kuichi Irie
[11:09] Ouka (as Kuichi)
    The students here are quite passionate,
    with their own dreams and ideals.
[11:15] Haruto
    It was a film about the life of Shoin Yoshida.
[11:18] Naosuke
    That's right! Mikaduki-san looked
    so cool playing Shoin Yoshida!
[11:23] Futaba
    What is the spin-off going to be about?
[11:25] Takaaki
    It's a story centered on Genzui Kusaka,
[11:27] Takaaki
    the supporting character I played in Sokai,
[11:29] Takaaki
    and Shinsaku Takasugi,
    who's being played by Toi-san.
[11:33] Takaaki
    It starts when they were kids.
[11:35] Yuma
    So that means you're the star, Takaaki-san?
[11:37] Takaaki
    Strictly speaking,
    I'm costarring with Toi-san.
[11:42] Gaku
    Yusho Toi is a really talented actor.
[11:45] Gaku
    Haven't you acted with him before, Ruka?
[11:47] Ruka
    Just a tiny bit.
[11:49] Shou
    The staff and cast from the movie
    are returning for the show, right?
[11:54] Takaaki
    They are. So that's going
    to be a lot of fun too.
[11:57] Takaaki
    Right, Ouka-chan? Yuma?
[11:58] ---
    Huh? Oh... yeah!
[12:00] Yuma
    It's a lot of pressure,
     but I'll do my best.
[12:02] Ouka
    Quit calling me "Ouka-chan."
[12:04] Ouka
    But, yeah, I guess.
    It should be fun. In a lot of ways.
[12:08] Takaaki
    Yup, Ouka is thrilled too.
[12:10] Yuma
    And on that note...
SIGN    Shuten
SIGN    A TV spin-off of the film Sokai,
    currently in production
[12:12] Yuma
    The TV drama Shuten!
[12:14] Naosuke
    Be sure to watch, everyone!
[12:17] Takatsuki
    About Shuten, shooting will start
    tomorrow as scheduled.
[12:21] Takaaki
    Okay. What time?
[12:22] Takatsuki
    I'll come get you at 6 in the morning.
[12:24] Yuma
    So no sleeping in.
[12:26] Takaaki
    We'd better go to bed early tonight.
[12:28] Takaaki
    Our characters are 18,
    so we need to do some skincare too.
[12:31] Takatsuki
    No need to worry about that.
    You always look quite young, Takaaki-san.
[12:36] Takaaki
    Takatsuki-kun, do I sense a little jealousy?
[12:38] Ouka
    But you ended up costarring with
    your archenemy, of all people.
[12:41] Yuma
    Let's make it work, Ouka-san.
[12:43] Takaaki
    Oh, come on. My archenemy?
[12:45] Ouka
    Yusho Toi. Have you already forgotten?
[12:48] Ouka
    He was picking fights
    with you on the last set too.
[12:50] Takaaki
    He wasn't picking fights.
    That's just the way he communicates.
[12:55] Ouka
    That guy... He only got pissed off
    because you get along with everyone.
[13:01] Ouka
    Honestly, I get that.
[13:03] Ouka
    But bringing that attitude
    to the job is another thing.
[13:06] Ouka
    After a point, it's just too much.
[13:08] Yuma
    B-But you do get him, don't you?
[13:11] Takaaki
    I actually don't hate him.
[13:13] Takaaki
    But lucky for you, Ouka. This is your chance.
[13:17] Ouka
    My chance for what?
[13:18] Takaaki
    You want a rematch with Toi-san, right?
[13:20] Ouka
    Wh— No, not really.
[13:22] Yuma
    That's funny. A second ago, Ouka-san
    looked like he was ready to rumble.
[13:27] Takaaki
    You thought so too, Yuma?
[13:28] Ouka
    Are you seriously okay with this?
[13:31] Ouka
    Do you remember how gloomy you were
    before the Sokai shoot started?
[13:34] Takaaki
    Huh? Was I?
[13:36] Ouka
    You can't fool me.
[13:37] Takaaki
    Sorry. You're right.
[13:38] Takaaki
    It does take some effort and
    energy to deal with Toi-san,
[13:42] Takaaki
    but he's an interesting person at heart.
[13:44] Takaaki
    Even if he takes his roles a
    little too seriously sometimes.
[13:47] Yuma
    I think I know what you mean.
[13:51] Yuma
    But now I'm starting to worry.
[13:53] Takaaki
    It's fine. It's fine.
[13:54] Takaaki

[14:00] Takaaki
    Good morning!
[14:01] Male Crew
    - Coming through.
[14:02] Takaaki
    I'm so glad to be working with you again.
     Thank you for the opportunity!
[14:05] Ouka
    Thank you for having us.
[14:06] Yuma
    It's a pleasure.
[14:08] AD
    Good morning! You sure are early.
[14:10] AD
    You're the first cast members here.
[14:12] Takaaki
    I got so excited about
    working with this crew again,
[14:15] Takaaki
    I woke up bright and early.
[14:16] AD
    A charmer too!
[14:18] Takaaki
    I'm serious, though. Right, guys?
[14:20] Yuma
    Yeah. I woke up before
    my alarm even went off.
[14:23] Ouka
    Definitely. I couldn't wait to get here.
[14:25] Takaaki
    See what I mean? It's rare to hear
    Yuma and Ouka talk like that.
[14:31] Mikazuki
    Hey, it's the VAZZY trio.
[14:33] Takaaki
    Oh, Mikaduki-san. Good morning.
[14:36] Takaaki
    We get to watch and learn from you again.
[14:39] Ouka
    It's been a while.
[14:40] Yuma
    Glad to be working with you.
[14:42] Mikazuki
    What are you talking about?
    I'm practically a guest this time.
[14:46] Mikazuki
    I'm basically just here for the fun of it.
[14:48] Mikazuki
    The stars are Mamiya and...
[14:52] Mikazuki
    Well, look who's here.
[14:53] Toi
    Hey, Mamiya.
[14:55] Takaaki
    Toi-san! It's great to be
    working with you again.
[14:58] Takaaki
    Let's make something good together, okay?
[15:00] Toi
    You sure haven't changed.
[15:01] Takaaki
    You mean I'm still good-looking?
[15:04] Takaaki
    Oh, stop! You're making me blush, Toi-san.
[15:07] Toi
    Still an airhead too.
[15:10] Takaaki
    We've got a lot of scenes together this time,
     so let's give them a good show.
[15:14] Toi
    I can't wait to wipe
    that moronic grin off your face.
[15:20] Takaaki
    Use a light touch, okay?
[15:22] AD
    Mamiya-san...
[15:25] Takaaki
    Okay, now that we're all warmed up,
     let's have a good time!
[15:29] AD
    You're a lifesaver.
[15:30] Takaaki
    What are you talking about?
[15:31] AD
    As long as you keep smiling,
    I think it'll be a fun shoot.
[15:35] Takaaki
    Really? Well, I'm glad to hear that.
[15:38] Takaaki
    I guess I'll just keep smiling, then.
[15:42] Toi
    Dude, you're giving me the creeps.
[15:44] Mikazuki
    Yeah? You sure seem like
    you're enjoying yourself.
[15:47] Toi
    The hell are you talking about? No way.
[15:50] Mikazuki
    Is that so? I've got an easy role this time,
[15:54] Mikazuki
    so I'll just stay on the sidelines
    and watch you and Mamiya play nice.
[15:57] Toi
    Suit yourself.
[16:01] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Takasugi-kun,
[16:02] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    you seem quite eccentric,
    but you're actually a very loyal man.
[16:07] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    I'm a little jealous.
[16:09] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    It's hard being so cut off from everyone.
[16:12] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Kusaka...
[16:13] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Do you remember when we first met?
[16:17] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Of course I remember.
    I was eight then, and you were seven.
[16:23] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    That's right.
[16:24] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    We've been close rivals ever since we
    started studying at the temple together.
[16:29] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    That isn't going to change now, is it?
[16:32] Toi (as Takasugi)
    No. I'm sure we'll meet again soon.
[16:37] Director
    Cut. Good take.
[16:39] Toi
    Ugh.
[16:40] Ouka
    Wow, off like a switch...
[16:42] Yuma
    Well, at least he isn't pretending.
[16:44] Takaaki
    Hmm... No, I think that means he
    was satisfied. It's all good.
[16:49] Ouka
    Is it?
[16:50] Takaaki
    Yeah. He's actually pretty easy to read.
[16:53] Ouka
    Easy to read?
[16:54] Takaaki
    Come on, now. You guys are up next.
[16:57] Takaaki
    I'll keep an eye on you, so go on.

[17:29] Ouka (as Irie)
    Yes?
[17:30] Toi (as Takasugi)
    You know Kusaka too?
[17:33] Ouka (as Irie)
    Huh? Y-Yes, I do.
[17:35] Toi (as Takasugi)
    That so?
[17:36] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Then if you truly want to learn,
    why are you hesitating?

[17:41] Toi (as Takasugi)
    I don't know what's holding you back,
     but throw off your chains!
[17:45] Director
    Cut! Good take, Toi-san. Spot on!
[17:48] Toi
    Hmph!
[17:49] Takaaki
    Good job. You both looked great.
[17:52] Yuma
    Did we really? Thank you!
[17:54] Ouka
    This isn't a joke!
[17:55] Takaaki
    Wait, why are you mad at me?
[17:58] Ouka
    He laughed at us.
[18:00] Takaaki
    Huh? You sure he wasn't chuckling
    because you did so well?
[18:03] Ouka
    No, he wasn't. I hate to say it,
    but we couldn't keep up with his acting.
[18:08] Ouka
    And he saw right through that.
[18:09] Takaaki
    Oh well.
[18:10] Takaaki
    Still, I think Toi-san respects
     your acting a lot more than before.
[18:15] Yuma
    Oh, I did feel that a little.
[18:18] Yuma
    Like he was pushing us to do even better.
[18:20] Takaaki
    That's right.
[18:21] Ouka
    Really?
[18:24] Takaaki
    Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be a great show. So...
[18:27] Takaaki
    Let's take care of the promos.
[18:35] Takaaki
    ...and that's why I think playing Kusaka
[18:37] Takaaki
    gives me a chance to really
    engage with the other actors.
[18:41] Reporter
    Thank you very much.
[18:42] Reporter
    I think we have what we need now,
    but there's just one last thing.
[18:47] Reporter
    The big theme for this issue is smiles.
[18:50] Reporter
    Mind if we talk a bit about that?
[18:52] Takaaki
    Of course! Go right ahead.

    Understood. Ito-kun, what will you do?
[05:52] Yuma (as Ito)
    I-I'm not confident that
    I would be of much help.
[05:56] Yuma (as Ito)
    I can't even ride a horse properly.
[05:59] Ouka (as Irie)
    I know. But the future of
    our country is at stake.
[06:03] Ouka (as Irie)
    As the inheritors of Shoin-sensei's
    ideals, we must take action.
[06:08] Director
    Cut!
[06:09] Director
    Shirase-san, you have to put up more
    of a fight! And Kira-san, more passion!
[06:13] Director
    Okay, one more time.
[06:14] Yuma
    All right! I understand.
[06:16] Ouka
    I understand.
[06:17] Ouka
    I'm sorry. We don't mean to hold you back.
[06:20] Toi
    You don't need to worry
    about holding me back.
[06:24] Toi
    I'll do as many takes as we need.
    That's my job.
[06:27] Ouka
    Toi-san...
[06:29] Yuma
    Thank you so much!
[06:34] Toi
    Hey! Wipe that disgusting grin off your face!
[06:39] Takaaki
    Oh, sorry about that!
[06:41] Takaaki
    I was so happy to see you encouraging
    my boys, I guess I let my guard down.
[06:48] Takaaki
    Hmm?

[07:10] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    Okay, that's a wrap!
[07:11] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    You really never smile, do you?
[07:14] (Flashback) Ouka
    It wouldn't fit the theme of the shoot.
[07:16] (Flashback) Ouka
    But do I have to? If so...
[07:18] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    Ah, no, you're fine.
[07:20] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    The request was for a cool
    and chilly look, anyway.
[07:24] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    You nailed it. Got some good shots.
[07:26] (Flashback) Ouka
    That's good.
[07:28] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    This sure is different from
    that other shoot, though.
[07:31] (Flashback) Ouka
    What other one?
[07:32] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    I did a session with a
    kid idol about your age.
[07:36] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    He was really expressive.
[07:38] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    He had such a wholesome smile,
    it would take your breath away.
[07:42] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    See? This is him.
[07:43] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    His name's Takaaki Mamiya. Do you know him?
[07:48] (Flashback) Ouka
    No, I don't.
[07:50] (Flashback) Cameraman A
    Oh?
[07:52] (Flashback) Ouka
    Thank you. I'll be going.

    Oh, that commercial?
[08:06] (Flashback) Manager
    It was really popular, so they're
    talking about doing a series.
[08:09] (Flashback) Manager
    Isn't that great?
[08:11] (Flashback) Manager

    Hello!
[08:27] Takaaki
    I'm Takaaki Mamiya.
[08:29] MC
    So, Takaaki-kun, I hear
    you still believe in Santa Claus.

[08:32] MC
    Is that true?
[08:33] Takaaki
    It really is the truth! I even saw him!
[08:36] MC
    Oh, come on.
[08:38] Takaaki
    Give me a break! Jeez.

    I never would've guessed you'd kept it too.
[09:14] Takaaki
    You sure have gotten big, Ouka-chan.
[09:17] Ouka
    Quit calling me that.
    How old do you think I am?
[09:19] Takaaki
    Right, right. You're all grown up now.
[09:23] Takaaki
    And it seems you'll make it through
    filming without getting in any fights.
[09:26] Takaaki
    What a good boy!
[09:27] Ouka
    Don't treat me like a child.
[09:29] Takaaki

SIGN    Ouka Kira
SIGN    New Group
[09:32] Takaaki
    Hmm?
[09:32] Ouka
    If you're going to treat me like a child,
    you could at least give me a reward.
[09:37] Ouka
    Like the secret you wouldn't tell me before.
[09:40] Takaaki
    Before? Oh... You don't give up, do you?
[09:44] Ouka
    You're the one who won't give it up!
[09:46] Ouka
    It's bugging the heck out of me.
[09:48] Ouka
    Spit it out!
[09:49] Takaaki
    Ah...
[09:52] Takaaki
    If you insist, detective. I'll talk.
[09:55] Takaaki
    It was actually right around the
    time this magazine came out.
[10:05] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    Okay, smile! Smile!
[10:09] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    No, put more into it. Like you always do.
[10:13] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    What's wrong, Takaaki-kun?
[10:17] (Flashback) Takaaki
    I'm sorry.
[10:18] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    Is it trendy to not smile now, like Ouka-kun?
[10:22] (Flashback) Takaaki
    Hmm?
[10:24] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    This guy.
[10:27] (Flashback) Cameraman B
    Ouka-kun is only a kid, but he's really cool.
[11:10] Takaaki
    It really left an impression.
[11:12] Takaaki
    I'd never seen anyone captivate
    so many people with just a gaze.
[11:18] Takaaki
    Without smiling, without really showing
    emotion at all, you were still so expressive.
[11:24] Takaaki
    And you were just a few
    years younger than me.
[11:27] Takaaki
    I thought you'd outdone me. So I...
[11:30] Takaaki
    Hmm?
[11:32] Ouka
    You can't mean...
[11:35] Takaaki
    Huh? What's wrong?
[11:37] Ouka
    Uh... Oh, no, it's nothing. Keep going.
[11:41] Takaaki
    So I answered my own question then.
[11:44] Takaaki
    "Do I really need to smile
    to do this kind of work?"
[11:46] Takaaki
    Nope. There were kids like you doing
    great work without smiling at all.
[11:51] Takaaki
    So then why did I keep smiling?
    The truth is...
[11:56] Ouka
    Is what?
[11:59] Takaaki
    Because I want to.
[12:01] Ouka
    Huh?
[12:05] Takaaki
    I know it's not a satisfying answer,
[12:07] Takaaki
    but that's really all there is to it.
[12:10] Takaaki
    I just wanted to be honest with myself.
[12:13] Takaaki
    When I'm having fun, I smile.
    When I'm sad, I cry. That's it!
[12:17] Takaaki
    Once I made up my mind,
    it became easy to smile again.
[12:22] Takaaki
    I think people complimented me for my smile
[12:25] Takaaki
    because I smiled out of genuine joy.
[12:30] Takaaki
    I'm the same way now. It's still fun for me.
[12:34] Ouka
    I always knew you were strong, Takaaki.
[12:37] Takaaki
    Am I? I really wish I was.
[12:40] Takaaki
    But I also really admire people like you
    who can pull off a totally different look.
[12:46] Ouka
    I'm just a doll with a pretty face.
     Cold, robotic, aloof...
[12:53] Takaaki
    Ouka?
[12:54] Ouka
    I got that a lot when I was a child actor.
[12:57] Ouka
    "But he has such good looks," and so on.
[12:59] Ouka
    Everyone wants the same
    thing from child models.
[13:02] Ouka
    That ideal young face. That innocent smile.
[13:05] Ouka
    But I couldn't give it to them.
[13:10] Ouka
    The other child actors knew what
    the adults wanted, and they did it.
[13:16] Ouka
    Yet I still couldn't.
[13:19] Ouka
    But even so, I didn't want to admit it,
[13:23] Ouka
    so I convinced myself that I
    was choosing not to.
[13:26] Ouka
    I realize now that was
    just childish arrogance.
[13:30] Takaaki
    I see.
[13:31] Ouka
    I decided to use my looks as a weapon,
[13:34] Ouka
    to take jobs where I didn't need to smile,
[13:36] Ouka
    so nobody would complain about me.
[13:39] Ouka
    That was my strategy.
[13:41] Takaaki
    That sounds like the Ouka I know!
[13:43] Ouka
    Well, it's easy to talk about in hindsight,
    but it was luck that got me here.
[13:47] Ouka
    I really didn't know how to smile.
    I'm still the same way now.
[13:51] Takaaki
    Huh? No way. You can smile, Ouka!
[13:55] Ouka
    That's easy for you to say.
[14:01] Takaaki
    Now you're smiling, Ouka.
[14:05] Ouka
    Takaaki...
[14:08] Takaaki
    Oh, see? That's it right there!
[14:10] Ouka
    This?
[14:11] Takaaki
    Yeah! You should let other
    people see you smile too.
[14:15] Ouka
    If I could do it on a whim,
    things would've been a lot easier.
[14:19] Takaaki
    Maybe you're right.
[14:21] Takaaki
    Anyway, that's the story of how
[14:23] Takaaki
    little Ouka-kun helped pull
    young Mamiya out of a dark place.
[14:28] Takaaki
    I owe you a lot, Ouka. Thanks.
[14:31] Ouka
    I owe you too...
[14:33] Takaaki
    Huh?
[14:34] Ouka
    No, never mind. It's a secret.
[14:36] Takaaki
    What?!
[14:37] Ouka
    You kept yours, didn't you?
[14:39] Takaaki
    Huh? Not fair!
[14:42] Yuma
    Takaaki-san, Ouka-san.
[14:45] Naosuke
    What are you two doing?
[14:47] Ouka
    Nothing. Don't worry about it.
[14:49] Issa
    I heard someone's not being fair.
[14:53] Yuma
    Or were you rehearsing your lines?
[14:55] Takaaki
    Uh, yeah. That's right.
[14:57] Yuma
    Will you practice with me later too?
[14:59] Takaaki
    Of course.
[15:00] Futaba
    Good luck on your show, okay?
[15:02] Futaba
    Oh, I almost forgot these.
[15:04] Takaaki
    Wow, they look delicious!
[15:06] Futaba
    We baked too much,
    so I'm passing them out to everyone.
[15:09] Futaba
    That's okay, right, bro?
[15:11] Issa
    We can't eat it all ourselves.
[15:13] Takaaki
    Awesome! I was just starting to get hungry.
[15:17] Futaba
    Here you go.
[15:17] Takaaki
    Thanks.
[15:19] Takaaki
    They're still warm!

    Straight from the oven!

[15:30] Toi (as Takasugi)
    What's so funny?
[15:32] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Oh, my apologies.
[15:33] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    I didn't realize you were
    still waiting for a reply.
[15:37] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    I was very busy though, and...
[15:40] Toi (as Takasugi)
    What is it?
[15:42] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Well, I think you already
    know that I can't write well.
[15:46] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    You saw that when we studied together.
[15:49] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    So I didn't write back.
    Cut me some slack this time?
[15:52] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Your handwriting, huh?
    Yeah, it was terrible...
[15:56] Director
    Cut!
[15:58] Director
    Toi-san, in this scene, we know that
    Takasugi secretly yearns for Kusaka.
[16:04] Director
    Can you play it more like you're struggling
    to hold those emotions back?
[16:07] Toi
    But feelings like that
    between two adult men?
[16:10] Toi
    Wouldn't they just keep it a secret?
[16:12] Director
    But we already know Takasugi basically
    wrote a love letter to Kusaka.
[16:18] Director
    So can you be a little more bashful?
    Show a little more attraction toward him.
[16:23] Toi
    All right.
[16:24] Director
    Okay, let's start over. One more time.
[16:59] Yuma
    Toi-san's really struggling.
[17:02] Mikaduki
    How unusual. He never gets stuck like this.
[17:06] Ouka
    I wonder...
[17:07] (Flashback) Toi (as Takasugi)
    Your handwriting, huh?
    Yeah, it was terrible...
[17:11] Director
    Cut! Cut!
[17:15] Director
    It just isn't hitting the right notes.
[17:18] Director
    Okay, let's take a break.
[17:30] AD
    Mamiya-san, excuse me. Do you have a moment?
[17:33] Takaaki
    Oh, sure.
[17:44] AD
    It's about this line...
[17:46] Takaaki
    Sure. What is it?
[17:48] Toi
    Damn it.
[17:51] Ouka
    Toi-san, do you have a minute?
[17:54] Toi
    What do you want?
[17:56] Ouka
    I noticed while watching you on set.
[17:59] Ouka
    Toi-san, when you're acting, you don't
    look directly at Takaaki, do you?
[18:05] Ouka
    Are you afraid he'll make
    you start smiling too?
[18:09] Toi
    What did you say?
[18:11] Ouka
    You're trying so hard to avoid it,
    it's affecting your performance.
[18:15] Ouka
    At least that's what it looked like to me.
[18:20] Ouka
    I'm sorry to be so blunt.
[18:21] Ouka
    I just think that...
[18:23] Toi
    No, you don't need to apologize.
[18:26] Toi
    You're absolutely right.
[18:28] Ouka
    Huh?
[18:29] Toi
    But I'm surprised you noticed.
[18:32] Toi
    That smile of his is...
[18:34] Ouka
    Obnoxious, you mean?
[18:38] Ouka
    I get it.
[18:39] Toi
    That's right.
[18:41] Toi
    Even when I know he's acting,
    it always looks genuine to me.
[18:45] Ouka
    I get that too.
[18:47] Ouka
    I've known him a long time, after all.
[18:50] Ouka
    I always wondered...
[18:52] Ouka
    Why does Takaaki always smile like that?
[18:55] Ouka
    But I think I've started to understand.
[18:58] Ouka
    He simply smiles because he wants to.
[19:01] Toi
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[19:03] Ouka
    Exactly what I said.
[19:05] Ouka
    In his free time, and even
    when he's working or acting,
[19:09] Ouka
    he just likes smiling.
     That's all there is to it.
[19:13] Ouka
    He isn't trying to mess with anyone.
     There's no hidden motive.
[19:16] Ouka
    He doesn't think like that at all.
[19:18] Ouka
    That's just the kind of guy he is.
    It comes naturally to him.
[19:22] Ouka
    And that's why Takaaki's
    smile is so powerful...
[19:24] Ouka
    Powerful enough to infect
    everyone around him.
[19:28] Toi
    I see. So you felt it too.
[19:31] Ouka
    Huh?
[19:32] Yuma
    You're starting to sound like each other.
[19:35] Ouka
    Yuma?
[19:36] Yuma
    Hello again.
[19:37] Yuma
    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
[19:41] Yuma
    I can tell that Takaaki-san means
    something special to both of you.
[19:45] Ouka & Toi
    Wha—
[19:47] Mikaduki
    What's all this?
[19:49] Mikaduki
    Discussing your evil plans?
[19:51] Takaaki
    What secret are you keeping?
    Let me in on it too!
[19:55] Ouka
    Shut up.
[19:56] Toi
    Quit grinning.
[19:57] Takaaki
    What? You're angry at me again?
[20:04] Mikaduki
    Well, it's a tough job leading the cast.
[20:07] Mikaduki
    Just one last push. Do your best, Kusaka-kun.
[20:11] Takaaki
    Okay, Shoin-sensei.
    Thank you for the encouragement!
[20:18] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    So I didn't write back.
    Cut me some slack this time?
[20:23] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Yeah, your handwriting was pretty terrible.
[20:32] Director
    Cut! That one's good!
[20:34] AD
    That's a wrap for Shuten!
    Great work, everybody!
[20:38] Takaaki
    Thank you so much, Toi-san.
    I enjoyed this, really and truly.
[20:42] Toi
    Yeah, so did I.
[20:55] Takaaki
    There's still more to come!
[20:58] Takaaki
    And we'd love to keep going,
    but this is farewell for now.

    That's okay. Are you Shou Onoda?
[00:34] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm Haruto Kujikawa. Thank you
    very much for meeting me today.
[00:39] (Flashback) Shou
    What excellent manners.
     Indeed, I'm Shou Onoda.

[02:30] Takaaki
    So, last week we showed you all
    what the guys from VAZZY are like.
[02:34] Takaaki
    And now that you know us, this week...
[02:39] Shou
    Let's introduce ROCK DOWN, or RD for short.
[02:42] Shou
    We hope you'll learn more and
    more about us on this show.
[02:47] Shou
    Oh, that's the picture I chose.
[02:56] Yuma
    It's a promo photo we took for our
    first CD release that paired me,
[02:59] Yuma
    from the bottom of VAZZY,
    with Shou from the top of RD.
[03:04] Shou
    That's right.
[03:05] Shou
    It was the first job you
    and I did together, Yuma.
[03:09] Yuma
    Yes. I remember being nervous at the time,
[03:12] Yuma
    but also thrilled to work on a project
    that brought our groups together.
[03:18] Ayumu
    I picked a photo from that promo, too.
[03:21] Shou
    Doesn't it take you back
    to when we first got started?
[03:26] Ayumu
    Yeah. Looking back on it now,
    I can see how much I've grown since then.
[03:30] Ayumu
    It's kind of encouraging.
[03:31] Reiji
    I guess you have grown.
[03:33] Reiji
    You sure were fun to
    mess with back then, though.
[03:37] Ayumu
    You still mess with me now, don't you?
SIGN    Congrats, Gaku-kun!
[03:41] Gaku
    I picked a photo from that time too.
[03:44] Gaku
    This was just a test shot.
    We posed differently for the real deal.
[03:48] Ruka
    That's right! We got so excited
    when it was our turn,
[03:52] Ruka
    the photographer played along
    and let us have our fun.
[03:55] Gaku
    Yeah. And we got the perfect shot.
SIGN    Congrats, Gaku-kun!
[03:59] Ayumu
    That sounds just like you two.
[04:02] Ruka
    I picked the next one. It's from
    the 2019 VAZZROCK Festival.
[04:06] Ruka
    I was so happy to join in on the third day!
[04:11] Naosuke
    I got to be in all the shows,
[04:13] Naosuke
    and it was so awesome to see
    everyone participate over four days.
[04:17] Issa
    Yeah, you guys made a racket
    every time we took a picture.
[04:21] Naosuke
    Huh?
[04:22] Ruka
    Huh?
[04:23] Issa
    Yelling "get closer" and huddle up" and stuff.
[04:27] Issa
    You kept giving instructions even when
    the camera was right up in our faces.
[04:31] Takaaki
    Yeah, they really got into it.
[04:35] Ruka
    I guess I got carried away.
[04:37] Haruto
    I did too, but check out this killer shot.
[04:41] Gaku
    I remember that. You got us.
[04:43] Ruka
    We had so much fun backstage.
[04:45] Ruka
    But Haru-kun, didn't you
    pick any pictures of yourself?
[04:49] Takaaki
    Oh, the staff found a picture
     with Haruto in it.
[04:55] Ouka
    That's what they sent?
[04:56] Haruto
    It's from Tsukipro Sentai All Red.
[04:59] Ouka
    The April Fools' project where
    everyone played a Red Ranger.
[05:04] Ouka
    You got totally into that, didn't you, Haruto?
[05:06] Haruto
    Yes! And I was really happy I got
    to take that picture with you.
[05:11] Ouka
    Oh yeah?
[05:13] Futaba
    Huh? Is that me?
[05:15] Haruto
    This is from when we were really becoming
    friends and began trading clothes.
[05:21] Haruto
    We have similar builds
    and wear the same sizes.
[05:24] Haruto
    People thought I looked good,
    so I wanted to share something from then,
[05:28] Haruto
    but I never took a selfie...
[05:31] Futaba
    So you shared a picture of me
    wearing your clothes instead?
[05:36] Futaba
    Well, Haruto-kun did look pretty cool too.
[05:40] Issa
    Dude, just use your own picture.
[05:42] Reiji
    Hey, what's with all these
    pictures of Haruto wearing shades,
[05:46] Reiji
    swapping with Futaba
    and wearing silly costumes?
[05:48] Reiji
    They're all weird!

[05:50] Shou
    Here's a Christmas photo I picked.
[05:53] Shou
    Haruto makes a cute reindeer, doesn't he?
[05:55] Reiji
    You picked a weird one too?
    I swear, you're all trying to be different...
[06:00] Reiji
    Here's mine!
[06:01] Yuma
    What a lovely picture.
[06:03] Yuma
    I've actually got a copy on my phone.
[06:05] Ouka
    I do too. Takaaki sent it to me.
[06:09] Takaaki
    I sure did. Shou shared it with me
    and said everyone should see it.
[06:14] Shou
    I thought it was a pretty miraculous shot.
[06:16] Reiji
    Darn right. I'm sure we'll keep seeing
    it for years for its cultural significance.
[06:24] Shou
    Next up are pictures from
    the VAZZROCK concert in 2020.
[06:30] Cats
    Meow!
[06:31] Takaaki
    Last episode,
[06:32] Takaaki
    we talked about other projects VAZZY members
     have been working on. What about RD?
[06:38] Shou
    As usual, we're involved
    in lots of different things too.
[06:42] Shou
    We're even shining in some
     very different ways from VAZZY.
[06:46] Takaaki
    Oh? And how have you been shining?
[06:49] Shou
    We all debuted before we
    formed our group, right?
[06:53] Takaaki
    Yeah, that's one difference
    between VAZZY and ROCK DOWN.
[06:57] Futaba
    Right. For three of us, the VAZZROCK
    project was our debut. Myself included.
[07:05] Naosuke & Yuma
    Same.
[07:06] Shou
    Ruka was mainly a stage actor,
    while Gaku was doing stage and video work.
[07:15] Shou
    Reiji started out as a child actor,
[07:18] Shou
    and Haruto and Ayumu had been
    working as models forever.
[07:23] Shou
    As for me, I was a violinist.
[07:26] Shou
    We were all entertainers in some sense,
    but we were each doing our own thing.
[07:32] Takaaki
    If you think about it, it's pretty
    surprising you're all here together now.
[07:37] Shou
    Yeah. But that's what makes
    ROCK DOWN so interesting.
[07:41] Shou
    Everyone in ROCK DOWN has
    their own special talents
[07:45] Shou
    that shine a light on everyone else and
    reflect brilliantly on the group as a whole.
[07:52] Shou
    In order to share that light
    with as many people as possible,
[07:54] Shou
    we want to keep pushing
    ahead with new challenges.
[07:59] Takaaki
    No kidding. I guess your upcoming concert
    is one of those new challenges, huh?
[08:04] Shou
    Exactly.

[08:17] Ruka
    A word from our leader, Shou-kun, if you please!
[08:21] Shou
    Thrilled!
[08:23] Reiji
    Heh. Literally one word?
[08:27] Shou
    I'm thrilled to perform for my ROCK DOWN fans
[08:30] Shou
    as well as for fans of classical music.
[08:33] Shou
    I'd like to make it enjoyable for everyone.
[08:36] Ruka
    It'd be great if people go to your concert
[08:39] Ruka
    and it gets them hyped to see
    our upcoming VAZZROCK show.
[08:44] Gaku
    I bet you hope it'll turn
[08:45] Gaku
    some VAZZROCK fans on to
     classical music too, don't you, Shou?
[08:50] Shou
    Yes. I'd love it if my performance
    could bring those two groups together.
[08:57] Shou
    Even if you think classical
    is out of reach, give it a try!
[09:01] Haruto
    Yes, definitely please do.
[09:04] Ayumu
    Oh. Haruto, didn't you
    get into classical music
[09:08] Ayumu
    after being invited to
    one of Shou's concerts?
[09:10] Reiji
    Don't you go to a lot of them?
[09:12] Haruto
    Yes. Once I learned how moving live
    classical music is, I had to hear more.
[09:19] Haruto
    I always look forward to it now.
[09:21] Shou
    Haruto even invites me to concerts these days.
[09:25] Ayumu
    It really changed you, huh?
[09:27] Haruto
    I think it did in a very positive way.
[09:31] Haruto
    I'd love for you all to experience it too.

    Please come see Shou in concert!

    working with Shou in the band ROCK DOWN.
[12:44] Haruto
    Very pleased to meet you.

    Nice to meet you too.
[12:48] Ejima
    I've heard about ROCK DOWN from Onoda-kun.
[12:51] Ejima
    I even saw that TV show the other day.
[12:55] Haruto
    We appreciate your support.
[12:57] Ejima
    You're really polite, aren't you?
[13:00] Shou
    Ejima-san, when did you arrive in Japan?
[13:02] Ejima
    Last weekend,
     for a concert with my orchestra.
[13:05] Ejima
    I'll be here for about a month.
[13:07] Shou
    Oh, is that right?
[13:09] Ejima
    ROCK DOWN sure is making waves.
    It must be keeping you on your toes.
[13:14] Shou
    It is. Thanks for noticing.
[13:16] Ejima
    I hear you're doing a solo concert too.
[13:19] Shou
    That's right.
[13:20] Shou
    Ejima-san, if you're available,
    I'd love it if you came.
[13:24] Shou
    I'll reserve a seat for you.
[13:27] Ejima
    Thanks. I'll try to make it.
[13:30] Shou
    Good. I hope to see you there.
[13:33] Ejima
    Are you going to continue playing concerts?
[13:37] Ejima
    How about performing with an orchestra?
[13:39] Shou
    I don't have any plans as of yet.
[13:41] Ejima
    Is that so? Too bad.
[13:46] Shou
    But I'd love to have the opportunity.
[13:50] Ejima
    If you say as much,
    I'm sure invitations will pour in.
[13:54] Ejima
    Our orchestra wants you back again too.
[13:59] Shou
    Ejima-san and I first met when I was
    a guest player in his orchestra.
[14:05] Haruto
    Oh, is that when?
[14:07] Ejima
    Onoda-kun's performance was fabulous.
[14:17] Ejima
    His playing was so confident, so free,
[14:19] Ejima
    and so light, like a bird
    soaring through the sky.
[14:24] Ejima
    Shou Onoda's violin lures listeners
    into a new musical world.
[14:30] Ejima
    Our orchestra still talks
    about how amazing he was.
[14:34] Haruto
    I can believe that.
[14:37] Haruto
    Shou's playing really is amazing, isn't it?
[14:41] Ejima
    Yes. Absolutely.
[14:45] Ejima
    I wish he was still playing at
    the front of our orchestra.
[15:01] Haruto
    Ejima-san really likes your playing.
[15:05] Shou
    Yeah. He has always respected my violin.
[15:08] Shou
    After we played together, he came
    back to Japan to see me perform
[15:12] Shou
    and even followed me to other shows overseas.
[15:15] Haruto
    Huh. I wonder why he didn't jump at
    the chance to attend your solo concert.
[15:23] Shou
    I'm sure he's busy,
[15:25] Shou
    but I don't think Ejima-san really
    knows how to deal with me right now.
[15:32] Shou
    He and I are both violinists,
[15:36] Shou
    yet our musical senses and mindsets
     are moving in different directions.
[15:43] Shou
    When he invited me to the
    symphony orchestra in America,
[15:49] Shou
    I was the soloist
[15:51] Shou
    and he played second violin.
[16:03] Haruto
    Second violin?
[16:05] Shou
    In an orchestra, violinists are separated
    into first and second violins.
[16:11] Haruto
    I had no idea.
[16:12] Shou
    To put it simply, first violin
    generally plays the main melody,
[16:16] Shou
    and second plays a supporting role
    rhythmically and harmonically.
[16:23] Shou
    Maybe I can compare it to a rose.
[16:26] Haruto
    A rose?
[16:27] Shou
    Think of a bouquet.
[16:29] Shou
    The roses blossoming at the center are first,
[16:32] Shou
    and the baby's breath decorating
    the arrangement is second.
[16:36] Haruto
    Ah. So they don't stand out as much,
[16:39] Haruto
    but their presence still
    adds to the overall beauty?
[16:41] Shou
    Yes.
[16:42] Shou
    They're both important, and when they work
    together, they complete the world.
[16:48] Shou
    What's also interesting is that
    most players experience both parts.
[16:54] Haruto
    Huh.
[16:56] Shou
    While the first violinist or soloist plays
    freely and with personality,
[17:00] Shou
    the second is more like a dutiful artisan.
[17:03] Haruto
    So it's about personality... I see.
[17:07] Shou
    I'm a soloist.
[17:09] Shou
    The same is true for Ejima-san.
[17:11] Shou
    He's an ideal second. A dutiful artisan
    who deeply loves classical.
[17:19] Haruto
    That's the feeling I got
    when I met him today.
[17:22] Shou
    Yeah. So I think he was sad to see me move
    away from devoting myself to classical.
[17:29] Haruto
    Is that because...
[17:31] Shou
    To him, when I joined the VAZZROCK project,
[17:36] Shou
    it was like I was quitting violin completely.
[17:38] Haruto
    That's how he took it? But he's wrong.
[17:43] Shou
    Yeah, I don't agree at all. The violin
     is something I'll study all my life.
[17:49] Shou
    But I want to see and feel all sorts
    of things and expand my musical world.
[17:55] Shou
    I really love classical. I think
    it's absolutely wonderful, but...
[18:00] Haruto
    But classical isn't all there is to music.
[18:03] Shou
    I want to have a lot of fun too...
    with all different kinds of music and people.
[18:09] Haruto
    And that's one reason you joined the project.
[18:12] Shou
    Exactly.
[18:14] Shou
    It's really too bad if he doesn't understand.
[18:17] Shou
    But I still want him to hear how I play now.
[18:25] Shou
    Sorry for running my mouth.
[18:27] Haruto
    No, it was all really interesting.
[18:30] Shou
    Thanks.
[18:31] Shou
    All right, now I have to concentrate.
[18:38] Shou
    I think the best thing I can
    do for Ejima-san right now
[18:41] Shou
    is to commit to being Shou Onoda of ROCK DOWN
[18:44] Shou
    and evolve into the best performer I can be.

[19:10] (Flashback) Shou
    Haruto, do you think classical
    music is difficult too?
[19:14] (Flashback) Haruto
    I suppose. Honestly, all I know of it is
    what I learned from music class in school.
[19:20] (Flashback) Shou
    Oh, music class...
[19:22] (Flashback) Shou
    That would leave an impression.
[19:25] (Flashback) Shou
    But you know, classical can become
    a very comfortable, personal thing.

    I'm sorry for such an amateurish review,

    It doesn't matter if it's classical
    or the latest pop song.
[00:28] (Flashback) Shou
    The essence of music is the same.
[00:31] (Flashback) Shou
    Just follow your heart and enjoy the sound.
[00:38] (Flashback) Shou
    See? There isn't anything difficult about it.

[02:26] Reiji
    Hmm?
[02:28] Ayumu
    Was that one yours?
[02:29] Reiji
    Yeah. And what a shot, right?
    It's rare to see you practicing winking.
[02:34] Reiji
    I figured the fans would love it.
[02:40] Reiji
    So how's it going? Can you wink yet?
[02:43] Ayumu
    N-Not yet.
[02:45] Reiji
    I could help you practice again.
[02:47] Ayumu
    I'm not opposed to it...
[02:50] Reiji
    Oh? Heading out?
[02:52] Haruto
    Yes. I have an important appointment today.
[02:55] Reiji
    Meaning it'll just be us and Shou
     here at the dorm.
[03:00] Haruto
    Shou?
[03:01] Ayumu
    He said he'd be in the music room.
[03:03] Ayumu
    I think he's practicing for his concert.
[03:05] Reiji
    I bet.
[03:07] Reiji
    He's spent every free moment
     he has in there recently.
[03:10] Haruto
    That's true. All right, well then,
    samurai number two is off.
[03:17] Ayumu
    See you... later?
[03:18] Reiji
    Take care, okay?
[03:20] Reiji
    So, samurai number one,
    where is number two deploying?
[03:24] Ayumu
    I don't know. I could only tell
    he's worked up about something.
[03:29] Reiji
    No kidding.
SIGN    Novel Cuisine
SIGN    Moon Stone
[03:33] Haruto
    Good afternoon.
[03:34] Haruto
    I appreciate you meeting me
    on such short notice today.
[03:37] Haruto
    Thank you very much.
[03:39] Ejima
    Oh, it's fine.
[03:41] Haruto
    What would you like to drink?
[03:43] Haruto
    It looks like today's special is umeshu
    made with aged sake. Or should we...
[03:48] Haruto & Ejima
    Start with a pint?
[03:51] Haruto
    Very well. Two draft beers, please.
[03:54] Employee
    Two beers!
[03:56] Ejima
    Th-Thanks.
[04:00] Haruto
    I'd like to ask you to attend
    Shou's concert. Please.
[04:05] Ejima
    I knew that's what it would be.
[04:12] Haruto
    Do you feel Shou has abandoned music?
[04:17] Haruto
    He hasn't strayed from his path as a violinist.
[04:23] Haruto
    In fact, he's participating
    in the VAZZROCK project
[04:27] Haruto
    to become a better musician.
[04:31] Ejima
    You didn't start out in music, did you?
[04:35] Haruto
    That's correct. I debuted as a model.
[04:38] Ejima
    But you can understand how
    wonderful Onoda-kun's playing is?
[04:41] Haruto
    Yes, it touches me deeply.
[04:44] Ejima
    I'm sure it does.
[04:46] Ejima
    Onoda-kun's violin enchants all who hear it.
[04:51] Ejima
    He plays so freely and vibrantly,
    as if the world of music is his playground.
[04:58] Haruto
    Yes.
[04:59] Ejima
    The first time I heard him play,
[05:01] Ejima
    it made me realize there is such a
    thing as perfect music. It startled me.
[05:06] Haruto
    It did?
[05:08] Haruto
    I can understand, though. The first
    time I heard him, it was overwhelming.
[05:13] Ejima
    I knew it!
[05:15] Ejima
    Once you experienced it,
[05:16] Ejima
    you wanted the rest of the world
     to hear him too, right?
[05:20] Haruto
    Yes, definitely.
[05:23] Ejima
    If that was all I felt, I'd probably
    be going to the concert.
[05:28] Ejima
    As second violin, I play background
    support and keeping the melody going.
[05:36] Ejima
    It suits me and I'm proud of it.
[05:37] Haruto
    Shou said the same thing.
[05:40] Ejima
    But I still wish I had the things I lack.
[05:44] Ejima
    Like the ability of a soloist, like Onoda-kun,
     to play freely like a bird in flight.
[05:57] Ejima
    It exacerbates my jealousy
    and disappointment.
[06:03] Ejima
    Onoda-kun is at a point in his
    career where he can play perfectly,
[06:07] Ejima
    but it feels like he abandoned
    that to explore new ground.
[06:12] Ejima
    I know it's selfish of me, and I
    know I'm forcing my ideals onto him,
[06:17] Ejima
    but that's just how much violin means to me.
[06:23] Haruto
    You're very passionate about it.
[06:44] Reiji
    Oh? Welcome home.
[06:47] Haruto
    I just got back.
[06:50] Reiji
    Hey, welcome home to you guys too!
[06:53] Futaba & Gaku
    Thanks!
[06:55] Haruto
    Welcome back. Were you both at a job?
[06:58] Gaku
    Yeah, we were at the same station.
[07:00] Gaku
    We decided to head back together.
[07:02] Futaba
    Yeah.
[07:03] Haruto
    I hope it went well.
[07:05] Futaba
    Did you just get back too, Haruto-kun?
[07:07] Haruto
    Yes.
[07:08] Reiji
    You said you had an important appointment.
[07:10] Reiji
    How'd it go?
[07:14] Haruto
    Like moving mountains.
[07:16] Reiji & Gaku
    Huh?
[07:17] Futaba
    Haruto-kun, what happened?
[07:22] Futaba
    Oh, so that's what you were doing.
[07:24] Reiji
    You went to talk to him yourself?
    You're always so on the ball.
[07:29] Haruto
    I wanted him to understand
    how Shou feels about music.
[07:33] Futaba
    I know what you mean, especially if he
    loves Shou-san's violin that much.
[07:38] Haruto
    Yeah.
[07:41] Haruto
    But, ultimately, I couldn't convince him.
[07:44] Haruto
    I probably could have pushed further...
[07:48] Gaku
    But you didn't?
[07:49] Haruto
    That's right.
[07:51] Haruto
    Ejima-san is a lot like Shou.
[07:53] Haruto
    He's a proud and passionate artist.
[07:55] Haruto
    He's worked hard to get where he is.
[07:57] Futaba
    Mm-hmm.
[07:59] Haruto
    He's performed for so many people
    and filled their hearts with song.
[08:07] Haruto
    I've always longed for
    that kind of inspiration myself,
[08:11] Haruto
    so I couldn't bring myself to argue with him.
[08:15] Reiji
    Inspiration?
[08:18] Haruto
    Yes.
[08:25] (Flashback) Kid 1
    How's that?
[08:26] (Flashback) Kid 2
    Ooh!
[08:29] (Flashback) Haruto (kid)
    Whoa.
[08:30] (Flashback) Kid 3
    Look, look! I made a huge one.
     Pretty cool, right?
[08:34] (Flashback) Kid 1
    But mine is cooler!
[08:35] (Flashback) Kid 3
    No, mine is!
[08:36] (Flashback) Kid 1
    No way! You wanna fight?
[08:37] (Flashback) Kid 3
    Shut up!
[08:43] (Flashback) Crowd
    Go for it!
[08:46] (Flashback) Boy classmate
    Hooray!
[08:48] (Flashback) Haruto's classmates
    Wow!
[08:50] (Flashback) Boy classmate 2
    Now the win is in the bag!
[08:53] (Flashback) Haruto (kid)
    Whoa.
[08:56] (Flashback) Male student
    Dang it!
[08:57] (Flashback) Girl student
    Don't worry. You'll get it next time!

[09:03] (Flashback) Other upperclassmen

    Nice hit!
[09:15] (Flashback) Baseball player 2
    Go, go, go!
[09:20] Haruto
    I've always wanted to be
     passionate about something.
[09:27] Reiji
    Huh...
[09:29] Haruto
    Before I joined ROCK DOWN,
    I wasn't truly invested in anything.
[09:33] Haruto
    Shou and Ejima-san are different,
    and I think that's incredible.
[09:37] Futaba
    I think I know what you mean.
[09:39] Futaba
    People tend to admire what they don't have.
[09:41] Futaba
    So when someone does have it,
    you want them to stay that way.
[09:45] Haruto
    Yes.
[09:46] Haruto
    Just like how Ejima-san wants
    Shou to stay as he once was,
[09:50] Haruto
    I realized I didn't want Ejima-san
    to compromise his principles.
[09:55] Reiji
    But you still want him to
    go to the concert, right?
[09:58] Haruto
    Yes.
[09:59] Haruto
    He loves Shou's violin dearly.
[10:02] Haruto
    I really want him to hear how Shou plays now.
[10:05] Gaku
    Yeah, makes sense.
[10:07] Haruto
    Shou wants that too and hopes he'll come.
[10:12] Haruto
    But I don't know what else I can do to help.
[10:15] Futaba
    You want to give him a little push?
[10:18] Haruto
    I do.
[10:20] Haruto
    Gaku-san?
[10:21] Gaku
    Ah, sorry.
[10:23] Gaku
    You said you wanted to be
    passionate about something,
[10:26] Gaku
    but the way you're talking,
    it sounds like you've already found it.
[10:30] Reiji
    Yeah. You're full of passion, man.
[10:32] Futaba
    Yeah. I think there's a burning
    passion inside you too.
[10:40] Haruto
    Burning passion... inside me?
[11:05] Ruka
    Man, you've really been going at it!
[11:08] Ruka
    You're usually falling asleep by now.
[11:11] Ayumu
    We're rooting for you,
     but don't push too hard, okay?
[11:14] Shou
    Thanks. But I know some of
    the guests coming are upset
[11:18] Shou
    that I stopped playing violin exclusively.
[11:27] Shou
    I can't give a performance that
    makes them think I've lost my touch.
[11:37] Shou
    This is a battle for me.
[11:40] Ruka
    That's so cool!
[11:41] Ayumu
    I can't wait for the concert.
    We're gonna go too.
[11:48] Shou
    I'm sure I'll put on a show
     that you'll enjoy. Come and listen!
[11:56] Ruka
    Okay, let's get to the next message.
[11:59] Gaku
    "I once heard a story about how everyone
    in ROCK DOWN went to a foot bath together."
[12:04] Gaku
    "I'd love it if you could share
    memories of other trips you've taken."
[12:08] Gaku
    "They can even be trips you took alone
     or with people outside the group."
[12:12] Gaku
    That's it.
[12:13] Ruka
    Thanks for your message!
[12:15] Reiji
    I bet Shou has lots of vacation stories.
[12:18] Reiji
    He's traveled all around the world.
[12:20] Shou
    I've visited many countries to play violin.
[12:24] Shou
    Which should I share?
[12:26] Shou
    I haven't done much sightseeing, though.
[12:29] Haruto
    Didn't you take a lot of pictures?
[12:31] Shou
    Oh, that's right.
[12:33] Shou
    Whenever I came across sights
    I wanted to share with someone else,
[12:36] Shou
    I'd take a picture and send it to Haruto.
[12:39] Reiji
    Oh yeah? Like what?
[12:42] Haruto
    A cat near the Arc de Triomphe.
[12:45] Haruto
    Dark clouds covering Big Ben.
[12:48] Haruto
    The skeleton of an umbrella he bought on
    the German Fairy Tale Route, et cetera.
[12:51] Reiji
    An umbrella skeleton?
    Shoot the landscape, dude!
[12:54] Shou
    It was bent in such a unique way.
[12:57] Haruto
    Anyway, if I hadn't read
    the attached messages,
[13:00] Haruto
    I never would've known they were
    photos of tourist attractions.
[13:03] Reiji
    Shou's so free-spirited.
    Even his pictures are!
[13:06] Haruto
    Truly.
[13:07] Reiji
    Come on, Haruto! You're like that too.
[13:09] Haruto
    Huh?
[13:10] Reiji
    Huh?
[13:12] Haruto
    I'm free-spirited?
[13:14] Reiji; Ayumu; Gaku; Ruka
    You just realized?!
[13:15] Gaku
    Um, Haruto, when you get
    caught up in something,
[13:18] Gaku
    you sort of go into your own world.
[13:20] Ruka
    You do things your own way.
    I think I'd call that a free spirit.
[13:26] Reiji
    You seriously never noticed?
[13:28] Ayumu
    That's Haruto for you.
[13:30] Reiji
    For sure. It's just like Shou, too.
[13:33] Ayumu
    Yeah, they're alike in more ways
     than you'd think.
[13:37] Haruto
    Someone said that to me yesterday, too.
[13:39] Haruto
    Are Shou and I really so similar?
[13:42] Gaku; Ruka; Reiji; Ayumu
    Mm-hmm!
[13:44] Ayumu
    Well, I can't say I noticed until after
     we'd been in the group awhile.
[13:49] Ruka
    Once you see how alike they are,
    you can't see them any other way.
[13:54] Gaku
    You wouldn't notice at first, though.
[13:56] Haruto
    Is that so?
[13:59] Reiji
    Hey, listeners, if any of you agree that Shou
    and Haruto are alike, send us a message!
[14:04] Reiji
    Oh, and send one if you disagree too!
[14:08] Haruto
    Please! We'll be waiting.
[14:10] Reiji
    You're going along with it?
[14:11] Ruka
    Okay, on to the next message!
[14:15] ROCK DOWN members
    Good work today!
[14:17] ROCK DOWN members
    Thank you very much.
[14:19] Shou
    Haruto.
[14:20] Haruto
    What's up?
[14:21] Shou
    The weather today is really lovely.
[14:23] Shou
    Would you like to go on
    a picnic with me later?
[14:26] Haruto
    Yes, let's.
[14:28] Gaku; Ruka; Reiji; Ayumu
    See what we mean?
[14:35] Shou
    Tea time under a blue sky
    sure is something else.
[14:38] Haruto
    Yeah.
[14:40] Haruto
    Actually, the other day,
     I met with Ejima-san to talk.
[14:45] Haruto
    I wanted him to hear your new music.
[14:48] Shou
    I see.
[14:50] Haruto
    But he didn't agree like I'd hoped.
[14:54] Haruto
    For him, your violin playing
    is just too precious,
[14:57] Haruto
    and he has complicated feelings
    about you being in ROCK DOWN.
[15:01] Haruto
    He wants to go, but he can't.
[15:04] Haruto
    That's how it seemed to me.
[15:08] Haruto
    He's so passionate.
[15:11] Haruto
    For someone like me, with no passion at all...
[15:13] Haruto
    I don't think I had a right to berate him.
[15:18] Shou
    Now, I doubt that.
[15:21] Shou
    I've always sensed a passion
    deep inside of you.
[15:26] Haruto
    I've heard that elsewhere too.
[15:28] Haruto
    I know I do things my own way,
[15:31] Haruto
    but I don't have the passion
    to soar freely like you do.
[15:34] Haruto
    How is it that people think we're similar?
[15:42] Shou
    The way I see it, Haruto,
    your freedom is like the solid earth.
[15:47] Haruto
    Free... like the earth?
[15:50] Shou
    Like the earth, you hold true to your core.
[15:53] Shou
    You know, and remain,
    exactly where you want to be.
[15:56] Shou
    I admire people like that,
    like you and Ejima-san.
[16:01] Haruto
    Do you really?
[16:03] Shou
    People like me have a habit of getting
    carried off on flights of fancy.
[16:08] Shou
    Sometimes we get so lost that we start to
    wonder, "Where in the world am I?"
[16:14] Shou
    When that happens, it's always a relief
    to have someone like you by my side.
[16:25] Shou
    Even the birds can't keep flying forever.
[16:28] Shou
    They always need somewhere
     to rest their wings,
[16:31] Shou
    like trees that are deeply
     rooted in the ground.
[16:41] Shou
    But you know what lies below the earth?
[16:44] Shou
    There's hot magma sleeping deep down.
[16:48] Shou
    You have your own passions, Haruto.
[16:50] Shou
    Desires that burn silent and strong.
[16:54] Shou
    I know that you do.
[17:00] Shou
    Remember when you told me the story
    of how you were scouted to become a model?
[17:06] (Flashback) Haruto
    Before I became a model,
[17:08] (Flashback) Haruto
    I went through a phase where I had no
    idea what I wanted to do with my life.
[17:12] (Flashback) Shou
    Hmm.
[17:13] (Flashback) Haruto
    I couldn't play music.
    I wasn't into sports. I just felt...
[17:19] (Flashback) Haruto
    I wanted to find something with meaning.
[17:21] (Flashback) Haruto
    It's embarrassing to think back on.
[17:23] (Flashback) Shou
    I don't think so. Everyone goes through that.
[17:27] (Flashback) Haruto
    I really doubt that you did.
[17:31] (Flashback) Haruto
    Anyway, when I didn't know what to do
[17:33] (Flashback) Haruto
    and was just wandering around
    the city looking for a job,
[17:38] (Flashback) Haruto
    that's when I was scouted.
[17:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    When I started, it surprised me.
[17:44] (Flashback) Haruto
    I went in treating it like a part-time job,
[17:46] (Flashback) Haruto
    but the people around me were
    of course quite serious about it.
[17:49] (Flashback) Haruto
    That impressed me,
    so I thought about it more,
[17:53] (Flashback) Haruto
    and I started to get serious about
    living up to their expectations.
[17:57] (Flashback) Haruto
    Then I realized...
[18:00] (Flashback) Shou
    The work felt satisfying?
[18:02] (Flashback) Haruto
    Yeah. And one other thing.
[18:05] (Flashback) Haruto
    People might see me and think
     "I want those clothes,"
[18:07] (Flashback) Haruto
    "how cool," or "wow, that's awesome."
[18:10] (Flashback) Haruto
    I realized I could affect how people felt.
[18:15] (Flashback) Haruto
    You know, I'm not very good with words.
[18:18] (Flashback) Haruto
    If I lived a normal life, I don't think I'd
    ever be able to touch people that way.
[18:22] (Flashback) Haruto
    But with modeling, I realized that even
    I could influence others' emotions.
[18:27] (Flashback) Haruto
    It made me so happy.
[18:30] (Flashback) Haruto
    And I think that's why I keep doing it today.
[18:35] Shou
    Appreciating and responding to
    others' expectations and feelings...
[18:38] Shou
    Being able to accept
    and respect the things you lack...
[18:42] Shou
    I think that's what it
    means to have a free heart.
[18:45] Haruto
    And you think... that's my freedom?
[18:49] Shou
    Yeah.
[18:52] Haruto
    I see. It is a kind of freedom.
[18:54] Shou
    That's right!
[18:56] Shou
    It is indeed. It might seem different,
    but it's the same thing.
[19:00] Haruto
    Yeah.
[19:01] Shou
    You know, as group leader, I want
    people to learn about ROCK DOWN.
[19:04] Shou
    As a violinist,
[19:06] Shou
    I want people to develop a
     relationship with classical music.
[19:09] Shou
    Those might seem different too,
     but they're also the same.
[19:12] Haruto
    You're right.
[19:13] Shou
    I always feel like...
[19:15] Shou
    I want to touch somebody's heart.
    I want them to be moved by my work.
[19:20] Shou
    Ejima-san is the same way.
[19:22] Haruto
    So am I. So are the guys.
[19:24] Shou
    Yeah. I want to put these heartfelt feelings
    to music and continue playing violin.
[19:29] Haruto
    "Follow your heart," was it?
[19:30] Shou
    Yes! Follow your heart!
[19:35] Haruto
    That's how I want to live too.

[01:53] Narrator
    Brothers Ryo and Itsuki
    are different in every way.
[01:57] Narrator
    Older Ryo is a down-to-earth
    city hall employee.
[02:00] Narrator
    Younger Itsuki lives day to day
    and works in nightlife.
[02:05] Narrator
    While Ryo worries for his reckless
    little brother, he also envies him.
[02:09] Narrator
    And while Itsuki mocks
    his uptight big brother,
[02:12] Narrator
    he also idolizes him as the last
    decent person in his life.
[02:17] Narrator
    One day, after Ryo witnesses
    a police officer commit murder,
[02:21] Narrator
    he gets framed for the crime.
[02:24] Narrator
    When his life turns into a nightmare,
[02:27] Narrator
    he asks for Itsuki's help
    running from the police.
[02:30] Narrator
    The brothers then seek to uncover
    the truth behind the murder.

[02:42] Futaba
    and my big brother is playing the older Ryo.
[02:45] Orihara
    Yes, that was the plan when we sent
    you the offer the other day.
[02:49] Orihara
    Since you're brothers playing brothers.
[02:52] Orihara
    However, for the roles, the older
    Ryo is gentle and down-to-earth,
[02:56] Orihara
    and the younger Itsuki is a reckless loner
    who's headed down the wrong path in life.
[03:02] Orihara
    We thought if we switched the parts,
[03:04] Orihara
    your characters would suit you better.
[03:07] Futaba
    O-Oh, I see.
[03:09] Producer
    Mm-hmm. Itsuki is like the flower of evil,
     which fits Issa-san's image.
[03:14] Takatsuki
    Yes, that makes sense.
[03:16] Issa
    Hey.
[03:17] Orihara
    That's right, that's right!
[03:18] Director
    I see, I see. Switching roles is a good idea.
[03:22] Director
    I can picture it now. This is great!
[03:25] Director
    Orihara-san always has a plan!
[03:27] Producer
    Great! The director's on board.
    I'm sure this will get more buzz, too.
[03:32] Orihara
    How about it? Wouldn't it be refreshing
    to trade places for a change?
[03:36] Orihara
    Don't you think the fans
    would like this casting too?
[03:40] Futaba
    Hmm. When you put it that way,
    you have a point...
[03:43] Issa
    It's not my style
    to switch things up with work,
[03:46] Issa
    but I'll consider it if that's what the fans want.
[03:49] Orihara
    Then you'll think it over, won't you,
[03:52] Orihara
    Futaba-san, Issa-san?
[03:56] Issa
    Who the heck are you guys calling "evil"?
[03:59] Futaba
    H-Hey, come on now...
[04:01] Issa
    An original late-night drama
    costarring me and Futaba...
[04:06] Issa
    I thought it sounded too good
    to be true. This is why.
[04:09] Takatsuki
    At the end of the day, even if there
    are some changes to the proposal,
[04:13] Takatsuki
    it's still a good offer.
[04:16] Takatsuki
    It's not in your best interest to decline.
[04:19] Futaba
    Well, of course! I don't want to lose a
    chance to costar with my brother.
[04:23] Takatsuki
    You seem to be having
    second thoughts, Issa-san.
[04:26] Takatsuki
    Isn't Orihara-san an
    old school friend of yours?
[04:29] Issa
    Yeah, "friend" is going a little far.
[04:32] Futaba
    They were bandmates. Right, bro?
[04:35] Futaba
    But... a lot happened.
[04:38] Takatsuki
    I see. I suppose you must have
     something against him.
[04:42] Takatsuki
    So think of this as your chance for revenge.
[04:44] Takatsuki
    All the more reason to accept.
[04:47] Issa
    Huh? What do you mean?
[04:49] Takatsuki
    The sudden casting change was their idea.
[04:52] Takatsuki
    We could use it as a bargaining chip
    to ask for more press in exchange.
[04:57] Takatsuki
    For free, of course.
[05:00] Issa
    Man, I'd hate to get on your bad side.
[05:03] Takaaki
    Ah, there you are. Issa, Futaba.
[05:06] Takaaki
    And hello, Takatsuki-san.
[05:07] Issa
    Takaaki? What are you doing here?
[05:10] Takaaki
    Huh? Is that how you treat a guest?
[05:13] Futaba
    A guest?
[05:14] Takatsuki
    Yes.
[05:15] Takatsuki
    Actually, Takaaki-san received
[05:17] Takatsuki
    an offer to appear on Rise & Set as well.
[05:20] Futaba
    What? Really?
[05:22] Issa
    Huh.
[05:23] Takaaki
    It puts a smile on my face
    to see my boys so happy for me.
[05:26] Futaba
    It'll be an honor to perform
     with you, Takaaki-san!
[05:30] Issa
    I ain't happy at all.
[05:31] Takaaki
    Now then, I'm looking forward
    to working with you for a bit.
[05:35] Futaba
    This'll make it even harder

    Oh, your name's listed first!

    So what? Read the actual script, will ya?
[06:13] Futaba
    Oh, of course. Let's see...
[06:16] Futaba
    My character, Ryo, is a pretty
    chill guy at the start.
[06:20] Futaba
    He's a good-natured civil servant.
[06:22] Futaba
    But then I'm wanted for murder
    and end up a fugitive...
[06:26] Futaba
    Hmm, looks like there's a lot of running.
[06:29] Issa
    So run, then. Gotta keep the
    little brother on his feet.
[06:34] Futaba
    I've got no problem with the action,
[06:36] Futaba
    but I can't imagine acting while
    running and jumping around.
[06:40] Issa
    Now that you've accepted,
    you aren't up to it?
[06:42] Issa
    It'll be a test of stamina either way.
[06:45] Futaba
    What about you, Issa? Can you handle it?
[06:48] Issa
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[06:50] Issa
    Anyway, wanna try a reading?
[06:55] Futaba
    "Itsuki! What the hell are you doing?"
[06:58] Issa
    "You're the one who shouldn't be here...
    Ryo, my stupid big brother."
[07:05] Issa
    Hey. Line.
[07:07] Issa
    What the hell are you doing?
[07:09] Futaba
    S-Sorry. Hearing you call me your big brother
    was more of a shock than I expected.
[07:13] Issa
    Come on. Get over it already.
[07:17] Issa
    Well, the dialogue feels right.
     Unfortunately.
[07:23] Futaba
    You've always been kind of arrogant.
[07:25] Issa
    And it's like you were born
    to play a goody two-shoes.
[07:28] Issa
    This might just work.
[07:30] Futaba
    I agree. But...
[07:32] Issa
    But what?
[07:34] Futaba
    No, it's nothing. I'll do my best.
[07:48] Issa
    I'm Issa Kiduku. Nice to meet you.
[07:51] Futaba
    I'm Futaba Kiduku.
    Um, I may still have a lot to learn,
[07:56] Futaba
    but we're very happy to be working with you.

    This'll be interesting with your ages
     reversed. Let's see what you've got.

    Can you follow Issa-kun's lead
    and play it a little more natural?

[09:01] Futaba
    Y-Yes?

    Could you try to be a little less stiff?
[09:05] Futaba
    Okay. Sorry about that.

[10:23] Issa
    Don't force your facial expressions so much.
[10:26] Futaba
    Huh?
[10:27] Issa
    You put on an affectation
     before you say each line.
[10:29] Futaba
    Uh, i-is that what I'm doing?
[10:32] Issa
    Yeah, it is.
[10:34] Issa
    It makes your emotions seem
    mannered and forced.
[10:37] Futaba
    Does it?
[10:38] Issa
    You practically are Ryo.
[10:42] Issa
    You don't need to try so
    hard to play a character.
[10:44] Futaba
    So I should just be myself?
[10:47] Issa
    For now, yeah.
[10:51] Futaba
    Got it. I'll try that.
[10:55] Issa
    I know you can do it.
[11:01] Takaaki
    Okay, it isn't final, but these
    lines should be about right.
[11:04] Takatsuki
    Should we take a short break?
[11:07] Takatsuki
    Oh, excuse me.
[11:09] Takatsuki
    Hello, this is Takatsuki.
[11:12] Takatsuki
    Yes, thank you very much.
    Just give me one moment.
[11:13] Issa
    I'm gonna get something to drink.
[11:14] Naosuke
    Oh, I'll go with you.
[11:17] Yuma
    In the show,
[11:19] Yuma
    Futaba-san plays the older brother and
    Issa-san plays the younger one, right?
[11:23] Takaaki
    Yup, yup. And I'm a guest star.
[11:25] Ouka
    So you switched roles?
    That must be a challenge to play.
[11:29] Futaba
    Tell me about it.
[11:31] Futaba
    Honestly, I don't think I've really
    figured out my character yet.
[11:35] Yuma
    How'd it end up like this, though?
[11:37] Ouka
    Usually, when brothers are cast together,
[11:40] Ouka
    the older one plays the older role and
    the younger one plays the younger role.
[11:44] Futaba
    That was the plan at first, but the older
    brother is a mild-mannered civil servant,
[11:50] Futaba
    and the younger one is a reckless part-timer.
[11:53] Ouka
    Oh, no wonder.
[11:54] Yuma
    In that case, you definitely
     should've switched.
[11:56] Takaaki
    That's pretty blunt, guys.
[11:59] Futaba
    If my brother heard you, he'd be mad.
[12:01] Ouka
    So what parts are you having trouble with?
[12:04] Futaba
    Well, I guess Ryo and I are a lot alike.
[12:08] Futaba
    Maybe I'm having trouble getting in
    character because we're too similar.
[12:12] Futaba
    Or maybe I'm stuck on being the big brother.
[12:15] Ouka
    His personality resembles yours,
[12:17] Ouka
    but the relationship is the opposite
    of what you're used to.
[12:20] Yuma
    That would be difficult.
[12:22] Futaba
    Yeah. So I might need to rethink
    the way I approach the role.
[12:29] Takaaki
    I'm gonna get a drink too.
[12:33] Takatsuki
    Yes, that is what I understand.
[12:36] Takatsuki
    All right, we'll work on it tomorrow.
[12:38] Takatsuki
    Oh, Takaaki-san.
     Regarding next week's promo...
[12:41] Takaaki
    Actually, I have a little request about that.
[12:44] Takatsuki
    Huh?
[12:50] Takaaki
    All right. The brothers of VAZZY,
    Issa and Futaba Kiduku,
[12:53] Takaaki
    are costarring in a new
    drama called Rise & Set.
[12:58] Takaaki
    Since production has just started, Issa-san,
    can you tell us about the show?
[13:03] Issa
    Well, it's...
[13:04] Issa
    Hey, how'd you slip into the emcee spot?
[13:07] Takaaki
    Oh, good question!
[13:09] Takaaki
    Actually, it's because I'm a
    guest star on the show too!
[13:12] Takaaki
    It's a really juicy role,
    so look forward to it, everyone!
[13:15] Futaba
    We're spoiled to have you as emcee,
    Takaaki-san. What an honor!
[13:19] Takaaki
    It's fine, it's fine.
    Now, tell us about the show.
[13:22] Issa
    It's a mystery about two very different
    brothers and their love-hate relationship.
[13:26] Takaaki
    That isn't wrong,
    but aren't you leaving a lot out?
[13:29] Futaba
    Well, yes. I can add to that.
[13:31] Futaba
    The show is an action-filled
    suspense mystery and...
[13:36] Takaaki
    Let me take this moment
    to introduce our special guests!
[13:39] Futaba
    Huh? Guests?
[13:40] Issa
    A surprise, huh?
[13:42] Takaaki
    Come on in!
[13:46] Futaba
    Huh?! Why are you guys...
[13:49] Issa
    What's with this lineup?
[13:51] Haru
    Good afternoon! Together, we're known as...
[13:53] Haru
    TsukiPro Sentai: The Oniichans!
SIGN    Brothers
[13:57] Issa
    Nuh-uh. What the heck is this supposed to be?
[13:59] Haru
    Basically, we've assembled to teach Futaba
[14:03] Haru
    what it feels like to be a
    big brother for his role.
[14:05] Takaaki
    I've got a little sister
    and brother, so I'm one.
[14:08] Gaku
    Same here. I have a little
    brother and sister too.
[14:12] Haru
    I have two adorably cute little sisters.
[14:15] Shiki
    And I have an adorably cute little brother.
[14:19] Issa
    And you needed to assemble for this?
SIGN    Across Time and Place
SIGN    Things All Big Brothers Experience
[14:22] Shiki
    Across Time and Place:
    Things All Big Brothers Experience.
[14:26] Takaaki
    Shiki, you're from Nagano, right?
[14:28] Takaaki
    I bet eldest sons still get
    special treatment in the country.
[14:31] Takaaki
    Does that come with its own pressure?
[14:33] Shiki
    That is typical over there.
[14:35] Haru
    It's enough to bother even you, Shiki-san?
[14:38] Shiki
    I'm more bothered by the
    way you said "even you."
[14:42] Shiki
    Fortunately, my parents
    encouraged independence.
[14:46] Shiki
    I wasn't held back by tradition and was
    allowed to grow up freely, as you can see.
[14:50] Takaaki
    Yeah, I can totally see that.
[14:53] Takaaki
    But when you have a little brother, don't
    you start putting pressure on yourself?
[14:58] Takaaki
    You don't want to screw up. You can't afford to.
[15:00] Haru
    That's good because it sets an example
    for the younger kids to look up to.
[15:04] Gaku
    Big brothers get scolded, like,
    "You're supposed to be the oldest."
[15:07] Gaku
    We don't get away with much.
[15:09] Takaaki
    Haru's got two little sisters at home.
    I bet they're both cute as a button.
[15:13] Haru
    They sure are, but sometimes they
    can be even more trouble than brothers.
[15:19] Haru
    They know how to get their way,
[15:21] Haru
    and if they gang up with my mom,
    they're overpowering.
[15:25] Takaaki
    I've got a little sister, so I feel that.
[15:27] Takaaki
    But that strength is cute too, right?
[15:29] Haru
    Indeed it is.
[15:31] Gaku
    Ditto that.
[15:32] Takaaki
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:33] Takaaki
    And sometimes we get so overprotective
    that they get annoyed with us.
[15:36] Gaku
    Yup. When she brings a boyfriend home,
[15:39] Gaku
    I'll lay down the law
     and keep an eye on him.
[15:41] Haru
    I might cry when that happens...
[15:43] Takaaki
    Isn't it a little too soon?
[15:46] Shiki
    I wonder if it's the same with older sisters.
[15:49] Shiki
    It's pretty complicated
    between brothers, too.
[15:52] Shiki
    In a sense, they're our closest rivals.
[15:54] Gaku
    I know what you mean.
[15:56] Gaku
    They're just as dear to us as sisters,
[16:00] Gaku
    but I guess that's the dilemma.
[16:02] Takaaki
    Rivals, dilemmas... I know what you mean.
[16:06] Takaaki
    I want my little brother to surpass me,
    but I still want him to depend on me.
[16:10] Takaaki
    That kind of feeling.
[16:12] Takaaki
    What do you think, Issa-kun?
[16:14] Issa
    I've never thought of mine as a rival.
[16:18] Takaaki
    Huh?
[16:19] Issa
    He's who's been closest
     to me all my life. That's it.
[16:23] Futaba
    Well, I guess that's true.
[16:25] Futaba
    I might be too much of a wimp
    for him to see me as a rival.
[16:30] (Flashback) Futaba (kid)
    Big brother! Wait up, big brother!
[16:33] (Flashback) Issa (kid)
    Quit following me!
[16:36] Futaba
    Back then, all I did was follow him
    around and copy everything he did.
[16:42] Futaba
    Thinking back on it now,
    I must've been a real pain.
[16:47] Takaaki
    Yeah, we all go through that stage.
[16:49] Futaba
    But when Issa heard me crying
    and came back to look for me,
[16:55] Futaba
    I think that was the first time
    I ever cried tears of joy.
[16:57] Gaku
    What a nice story. Nice job, li'l Issa.
[17:00] Issa
    Put a sock in it.
[17:01] Takaaki
    You never forget childhood
    memories like that.
[17:06] Shiki
    You're right.
[17:07] Haru
    They stick with you even after you grow up.
[17:10] Futaba
    Do you think so too?
[17:12] Futaba
    Do you remember what I was like as a kid?
[17:14] Issa
    Well, yeah. Am I supposed to forget?
[17:17] Issa
    You were such a little punk,
    but then you got bigger than me.
[17:21] Issa
    If I had to say, it seriously pisses me off.
[17:23] Futaba
    Huh? That's how you remember me?
[17:27] Gaku
    Well, Futaba does look like the big brother.
[17:30] Issa
    Shut up.
[17:32] Takaaki
    So, how is the shoot going? All good?
[17:35] Issa
    Of course.
[17:36] Futaba
    Honestly, I'm struggling a little bit.
[17:38] Futaba
    I got a lot of good advice today,
[17:41] Futaba
    but I still can't get a feel for
    playing my big brother's big brother.
[17:45] Takaaki
    Okay, then why don't you
    imagine Issa as a little kid
[17:48] Takaaki
    and pretend to be his older brother?
[17:49] Issa
    Huh?
[17:51] Futaba
    My brother as a little kid...
[17:54] Futaba
    How cute! Yeah, that might actually work!
[17:57] Issa
    Man, you've got a sick imagination.
[17:59] Takaaki
    All right. Unfortunately,
    we're almost out of time.
[18:03] Takaaki
    What did you all think of Rise & Set episode 0?
[18:06] Issa
    The guests were such a surprise,
    it felt like they stole the whole show.
[18:10] Takaaki
    The Oniichans are the pride and joy
    of Tsukino Productions, after all.
[18:13] Takaaki
    Futaba-kun, what did you think?
[18:15] Futaba
    Yeah! Of course it was very helpful.
[18:18] Haru
    Glad we could help you out.
[18:20] Gaku
    If you ever need anything, come talk to us.
[18:23] Shiki
    Leave it to the Oniichans!
[18:26] Futaba
    Thank you very much, guys.
[18:28] Futaba
    I'll do my best to show Issa
    that I can be his rival.
[18:39] Police
    Freeze! If you don't stop, we'll shoot!
[18:40] Futaba (as Ryo)
    How did this happen?
[18:46] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Wha—
[18:47] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Idiot! It's me.
[18:48] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Huh? Oh...
[18:53] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Itsuki? How...
[18:55] Issa (as Itsuki)
    The hell do you think you're doing?
[18:57] Futaba (as Ryo)
    You already knew?
[18:58] Issa (as Itsuki)
    I saw it on the news.
[19:00] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Do you believe me then?
[19:02] Issa (as Itsuki)
    There's no way you could kill
    anybody. Don't be stupid.
[19:06] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Itsuki...
[19:08] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Come on, let's beat it.
[19:09] Futaba (as Ryo)
    No, you aren't coming with me.
[19:11] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Huh?
[19:14] Futaba (as Ryo)
    I can't let you get caught up in this.
[19:17] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Shut up. Let's go.
[19:19] Futaba (as Ryo)
    What? Hey! Wait a—
[19:22] AD
    Okay, that's good!
[19:24] Futaba
    Thank you very much.
[19:25] Director
    That was great, Futaba-kun.
    You really nailed the "big brother" vibe.
[19:30] Futaba
    Wha... I did? I'm so glad!
[19:33] Futaba
    I'll keep doing my best to get it right.
[19:35] Director
    You're so modest too.
[19:38] Issa
    I guess things are finally
    starting to take shape.
[19:41] Futaba
    Yeah, and it's all thanks to
    your advice, Issa. Thank you.
[19:48] Futaba
    Ever since we were kids,
    you've told me not to follow you,
[19:52] Futaba
    but thinking about it,
    I've followed you all the way here.
[19:54] Issa
    Yeah, no kidding.
[19:56] Futaba
    Speaking of, I guess that's another case.
[19:58] Issa
    Huh?
[19:59] Futaba
    I bet the reason you started playing music
[20:02] Futaba
    was because you thought I'd never be
    able to make it into your band, right?
[20:06] Issa
    I guess.
[20:08] Futaba
    Sorry. You're just so cool that I always
     want to follow wherever you go.
[20:14] Issa
    You bet I am.
[20:16] Futaba
    It's cool the way you say
    "you bet I am" to that too.
[20:19] Issa
    It's not to show off.
[20:21] Futaba
    I know.
[20:22] Futaba
    But you know, this show we're doing...
[20:25] Futaba
    The characters are so much like us,
    it's almost like it was written for us.
[20:29] Issa
    You think so?
[20:30] Futaba
    Of course! Don't tell me you didn't notice.
[20:33] Issa
    What do you mean?
[20:34] Futaba
    Come on. Self-centered, arrogant,
    always causing trouble...
[20:38] Futaba
    Doesn't that describe both
    you and Itsuki perfectly?
[20:41] Issa
    Hey.
[20:42] Futaba
    And Ryo gets pushed around,
    and he's super serious and down-to-earth.
[20:46] Futaba
    That matches me perfectly too.
[20:49] Issa
    I guess.
[20:50] Futaba
    So you don't disagree with that part.
[20:53] Issa
    Do you want me to?
[20:55] Futaba
    Hmm, no, I guess not really.
[20:58] Futaba
    Honestly, even when you pushed me around,
    I still looked up to you.
[21:02] Futaba
    I've always really admired you.
[21:05] Issa
    That so?
[21:07] Futaba
    The Oniichans guys said we have
    our childhood memories,
[21:11] Futaba
    and then we have who we are today.
[21:13] Futaba
    I agree with that.
[21:14] Futaba
    I can't let myself be satisfied
[21:16] Futaba
    just chasing you around all the
    time like when I was a kid.
[21:21] Futaba
    I think this show is my chance.
[21:25] Futaba
    In the story, Ryo learns a lot from Itsuki
[21:29] Futaba
    and starts to grow as a person.
[21:31] Futaba
    Then by the end, he's so dependable
    that he can even save Itsuki.
[21:35] Futaba
    I want to be like that too.
[21:37] Futaba
    This might sound cocky,
[21:39] Futaba
    but I want to be my own person so I can
    stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
[21:43] Futaba
    And then someday...
[21:45] Futaba
    even be your rival.
[21:48] Issa
    Oh yeah?
[21:50] Futaba
    I'll do my best. You just watch, big bro.

    Cut!

    You punk, trying to improvise like that.
[03:34] Futaba
    S-Sorry. I wasn't really thinking.
    But that reminds me...
[03:38] Futaba
    Director.
[03:40] Futaba
    I'm sorry. My hand just moved on its own.
[03:43] Director
    Oh, don't worry.
[03:44] Director
    It added to the scene.
    Issa-kun rolled with it, too.
[03:48] Futaba
    You think so?
[03:48] Orihara
    Huh. Futaba-san is starting
    to look like a real actor.
[03:48] Director
    Sure.
[03:49] Futaba
    Thank you so much.
[03:51] Takatsuki
    Futaba-san always seems one step
    removed from the rest of the group.
[03:56] Takatsuki
    Maybe his people-watching skills
    helped him develop the character.
[04:00] Orihara
    I see.
[04:01] Orihara
    I suppose he spends a lot of time
    watching Issa in particular.
[04:06] Orihara
    But it's more than that.
[04:08] Takatsuki
    Meaning what?
[04:09] Orihara
    I think he has a lot
     of potential to begin with.
[04:12] Orihara
    He can actually pull his weight.
[04:14] Issa
    Of course he can. Whose brother
    do you think he is anyway?
[04:24] Futaba
    Great work today.

    It's a bit of a relief.

    I wanna say you've got a long way to go

[05:50] Director
    Great job! Perfect. Let's go with that.
[05:53] Futaba
    Huh.
[05:58] Takatsuki
    Wow. It's only the second episode and
    Futaba-san is getting a lot of attention.
[06:02] Orihara
    Definitely. Things are looking good.
[06:05] Takatsuki
    Yes. I think I'll start laying
    on the promotional offers too.
[06:10] Futaba
    Huh? An interview with a women's magazine?
[06:12] Futaba
    With me? Not my brother?
[06:15] Takatsuki
    It will still serve as
    advertisement for the show,
[06:18] Takatsuki
    but yes, the offer is for you, Futaba-san.
[06:21] Issa
    Huh.
[06:22] Futaba
    Just me? Is that okay?
[06:25] Takatsuki
    It is.
[06:26] Takatsuki
    According to our data, social media
    searches after each episode
[06:30] Takatsuki
    show more hits for you than for Issa-san.
[06:34] Takatsuki
    You're our dark horse. This is
    an extremely good development.
[06:38] Futaba
    A-All right. I'll do my best.

[07:14] Futaba
    Thank you very much!
[07:17] Futaba
    Wanna get something to eat on the way home?
[07:19] Issa
    No, I have somewhere to be.
[07:21] Futaba
    Oh, I didn't know. Okay.
[07:27] Orihara
    Good work today.
[07:29] Issa
    Why, hello.
[07:30] Orihara
    The show's numbers are looking good.
[07:32] Orihara
    Thanks to your brother, I guess.
[07:36] Issa
    Well, isn't that nice?
[07:43] Orihara
    Don't see that every day.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances,

    Now then, I'm about to make

[08:22] Takenaka
    I didn't expect you to actually show.
[08:25] Issa
    I needed a breath of fresh air anyway.
[08:29] Takenaka
    So, I hear you're working with your old rival.
[08:32] Issa
    How'd you know?
[08:33] Takenaka
    I'll give you a hint: the show credits.
[08:36] Takenaka
    But really, you and Taiga? It's hard
    to believe, thinking back on things.
[08:41] Issa
    Oh yeah?
[08:42] Takenaka
    Yeah.
[08:44] Takenaka
    When we were in the band,
    you were always at each other's throats.
[08:48] Issa
    He was always the one coming at me.
[08:51] Takenaka
    I guess.
[08:52] Takenaka
    But it looks like you have a more productive
    relationship now, so that's good.
[08:57] Takenaka
    I'm watching Rise and Set.
     It's honestly pretty good.
[09:02] Issa
    Well, thanks.
[09:04] Takenaka
    Futaba-kun has turned into
    a pretty good actor, too.
[09:07] Takenaka
    I guess this show gave him a push.
[09:10] Issa
    Do you think?
[09:11] Takenaka
    Yeah. He's really starting
    to act like your big brother.
[09:14] Issa
    Hmph.
[09:16] Takenaka
    Pretty impressive, especially given how
[09:18] Takenaka
    he's trailed behind his big brother
    every step of the way.
[09:22] Issa
    So, what, it's my fault?
[09:25] Takenaka
    Whose else would it be?
[09:27] Takenaka
    At the very least, you're the one who
    brought out Futaba-kun's full potential.
[09:31] Issa
    That so?
[09:40] Futaba
    Oh, Issa. Welcome home. You sure are late.
[09:43] Issa
    Why are you still up?
[09:45] Futaba
    Well, you know. I just wanted
    to study the script more and...
[09:48] Futaba
    Wait, were you drinking?
[09:51] Issa
    Water.
[09:52] Futaba
    Right, right.
[09:56] Futaba
    You know, Issa...
[10:00] Futaba
    Issa?
[10:04] Futaba
    Ouch!
[10:06] Futaba
    What?
[10:07] Issa
    Tired. Gonna sleep.
[10:11] Futaba
    Seriously, what?
[10:15] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Damn it! And we were so close...
[10:18] Futaba (as Ryo)
    What are you so upset about, Itsuki?
[10:21] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Is it my fault? Did I push you away?
[10:24] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Wha—
[10:25] Futaba (as Ryo)
    That's what you said,
    but it wasn't my intention at all.
[10:32] Issa (as Itsuki)
    That...
[10:33] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Enough! Just shut up, Ryo!
[10:35] Director
    Cut! Yeah, Ryo was good.
[10:39] Director
    Itsuki might work, but...
[10:41] Issa
    Please let me try it again.
[10:44] Futaba
    Issa...
[10:46] Director
    All right. Take it away.
[10:48] Takaaki
    It's good to see you, Takatsuki-san.
[10:51] Takatsuki
    Takaaki-san. You sure are early.
[10:53] Takaaki
    Yeah. I thought I'd observe the two leads
    and see what I could learn from them.
[11:03] AD
    Okay, good!
[11:06] Takaaki
    Good afternoon, everyone!
[11:08] Takaaki
    I'm Takaaki Mamiya, playing Katsuragi.
[11:11] Takaaki
    I'm happy to work with you all!
[11:19] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    Took you long enough.
[11:22] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    I was getting tired of waiting.
[11:24] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Katsuragi... What the hell are you doing here?
[11:27] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    It's the perfect spot for a hideout, isn't it?
[11:30] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Cut the crap. Get the hell out!
[11:32] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    Are you sure about that?
[11:35] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    Pets aren't allowed here.
    What if there turns out to be a rat?
[11:40] Issa (as Itsuki)
    Tch...
[11:41] Futaba (as Ryo)
    I-I'm sorry, Itsuki. I just...
[11:44] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    It's a pleasure, Big Brother Itsuki.
[11:46] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    I'm Itsuki-kun's good friend Katsuragi.
[11:50] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)
    Nice to meet you.
[11:53] Director
    Okay, cut!
[11:54] Orihara
    Mamiya-san always has such a great aura.
[11:57] Orihara
    He seems nice,
    but you can't read his character.
[12:00] Orihara
    This tricky part suits him.
[12:02] Takatsuki
    Thank you very much.
[12:04] Orihara
    Even if he doesn't have many scenes,
     he'll make a big impact.
[12:08] Futaba
    Even when he only appears for a second,
    Takaaki-san has an amazing presence.
[12:14] Issa
    Well, he used to be a nationally famous idol.
[12:18] Takaaki
    All righty, I'm heading out for today.
[12:20] Takaaki
    Thank you very much!
[12:23] Futaba
    Great work today.
[12:24] Futaba
    I'm looking forward
    to the next time, Takaaki-san.
[12:27] Takaaki
    Yeah! See you.
[12:30] Takaaki
    It's sure tough being a big brother.
[12:36] Issa
    What a jerk.
[12:38] Futaba
    Issa, why don't we...
[12:39] Issa
    Nah, I got something to do.
     You can go home without me.
[12:43] Futaba
    Oh... Okay then.
[12:48] Naosuke
    Oh, Futaba-san, welcome home!
[12:51] Futaba
    I'm back, Nao-kun.
[12:53] Naosuke
    Issa isn't with you, huh?
[12:55] Futaba
    Er, no.
[12:56] Naosuke
    Well, if you're always together on set,
[12:58] Naosuke
    I guess you'd want some time alone.
[13:01] Futaba
    Alone? Yeah, you're probably right.
[13:04] Naosuke
    Meow meow?
[13:05] Naosuke
    Futaba-san, did something happen
    with you and Issa?
[13:08] Futaba
    U-Uh... um, actually...
[13:12] Naosuke
    Really? Issa's avoiding you?
[13:15] Naosuke
    But aren't you working
    together on set right now?
[13:18] Futaba
    Yeah. Everything's normal on set,
     but outside of that...
[13:22] Futaba
    I wonder if I did something wrong.
[13:24] Naosuke
    I know Issa can have an attitude,
    but he's got a big heart, right?
[13:28] Naosuke
    I guess he does get annoyed
    by the little things, though.
[13:31] Futaba
    Yeah, I know, but...
[13:33] Naosuke & Futaba
    Hmm.
[13:35] Naosuke
    Oh. If he's troubled over the show,
[13:39] Naosuke
    I bet I know what it is!
[13:41] Futaba
    What?
[13:50] Issa
    Why on earth are these guys here?

    Issa, you're having trouble
    getting into character, right?
[14:12] Naosuke
    You can totally rely on us!
[14:15] Ayumu
    If I can help out even a little,
     I'll be happy.
[14:19] Nozomu
    Ask us anything about what
    it's like to be a little brother.
[14:22] Rui
    Count on us, brother!

[14:40] Nozomu
    First up...
[14:41] Nozomu
    Everything we got for school
    were hand-me-downs.
[14:44] Naosuke
    Oh, for sure! Like gym clothes.
SIGN    Naosuke Oyama
[14:47] Naosuke
    They always had the name label
    crossed out or covered with a patch.
[14:52] Ayumu
    That is a common experience.
     Mine were the same way.
[14:55] Futaba
    Huh? But I thought you had
     a big sister, Ayumu...
[14:58] Nozomu
    Oh, cool! I bet she was nice to you.
[15:00] Ayumu
    Yeah, she was nice enough,
[15:03] Ayumu
    but I was always a weakling,
    so I depended on her a lot.
[15:07] Ayumu
    And now I can absolutely...
[15:09] Ayumu
    not stand up to her.
[15:11] Rui
    You've got a lot bottled up.
[15:13] Nozomu
    Oh, that reminds me.
    My brother said he knows you, Issa-san.
[15:17] Issa
    Oh, Izuru? How's he doing?
[15:20] Nozomu
    Great! We played bass together
     a while back and he treated me to dinner.
[15:24] Issa
    Huh, so that's how he is around his brother.
[15:28] Issa
    I didn't know he was the supportive type.
[15:30] Nozomu
    Totally! Both as a bassist
     and a big brother, he's the best!
[15:34] Rui
    I know what you mean.
[15:35] Rui
    My big brother is a doctor now, but to me,
    he's still the best pianist in the world.
[15:41] Naosuke
    Yeah, yeah.
    They're the closest role model you have.
[15:45] Naosuke
    An inspiration you can never compete with.
[15:48] Issa
    I get the feeling you guys idealize
    your big brothers a little too much.
[15:52] Rui
    Huh?
[15:53] Issa
    The only difference is that
    they were born a few years before you.
[15:58] Issa
    There's no reason you can't compete.
[16:00] Futaba
    Issa...
[16:02] Nozomu
    I don't know.
[16:03] Nozomu
    Even if he's only ahead
     because he was born first,
[16:06] Nozomu
    those "few years" can feel pretty huge.
[16:10] Naosuke
    Yeah, yeah. Do big bros not see it that way?
[16:14] Issa
    Anyway, are we done here?
[16:27] Takaaki
    "What are you so upset about, Itsuki?"
[16:30] Takaaki
    "Is it my fault?"
[16:32] Issa
    Huh?
[16:33] Takaaki
    "Did I push you away? That's what you said,
     but it wasn't my intention at all."
[16:40] Issa
    "Enough. Just shut up, Ryo."
[16:43] Issa
    Quit memorizing other people's lines.
[16:46] Takaaki
    People always said I was good at it.
[16:49] Issa
    Yeah, well, I'm having trouble with it.
[16:52] Takaaki
    You know, I'm jealous.
    You get to work with your brother on set.
[16:56] Issa
    Would you drop it?
[16:58] Takaaki
    The hardest part about being a big brother
[17:02] Takaaki
    is when you start thinking you need
    to be a kind of impassable barrier.
[17:07] Takaaki
    I can't tell you how hard that is for me.
[17:10] Takaaki
    I mean, I have to try to play big brother
    to all eleven of you in the group.
[17:15] Issa
    Don't you think that's setting
    the bar just a little too high?
[17:19] Takaaki
    Yeah, maybe. And all my little
    brothers are growing up like crazy.
[17:24] Takaaki
    I try to be the reliable one, but
    sometimes I feel the pressure too.
[17:27] Issa
    Pressure? You?
[17:29] Takaaki
    Well, yeah. But just think about it a minute.
[17:33] Takaaki
    As long as I keep moving,
    the gap between us stays the same.
[17:37] Takaaki
    There's nothing worse than losing
    my cool and getting stuck.
[17:39] Takaaki
    I've got to keep my chin
    up and keep going forward.
[17:43] Takaaki
    I do kind of like the challenge, though.
[17:46] Issa
    Is this some kind of confession?
[17:50] Takaaki
    Little brothers try to better themselves
    by emulating their big brothers,
[17:53] Takaaki
    and big brothers try to better
    themselves to live up to that.
[17:57] Takaaki
    Isn't it all just part of what
    it means to be siblings?
[18:03] Issa
    I guess.
[18:07] Issa
    Thanks...
[18:09] Issa
    Big Brother Takaaki.
[18:11] Takaaki
    Ah, my cute little bro... Be ambitious, boy!
[18:15] Issa
    Get over yourself, you big dork.
[18:34] Futaba
    Issa, you're making dinner for us?
    It's been a while! Anything I can help with?
[18:40] Futaba
    What's wrong? I haven't done anything yet.
[18:44] Issa
    Think I was gonna hit you again?
[18:47] Futaba
    Oh, wow, is it omurice?
[18:49] Issa
    Chop this up.
[18:51] Futaba
    Roger!
[18:54] Issa
    Back then...
[18:55] Futaba
    Huh?
[18:58] Issa
    When you got taller than me, I was so pissed.
[19:01] Issa
    I thought, "The nerve of this punk,
    thinking he can look down on me..."
[19:06] Futaba
    I know.
[19:07] Issa
    But it wasn't just that. Honestly, I started
    to feel pressure. At least a little.
[19:14] Issa
    Hey, you aren't done chopping.
[19:15] Futaba
    Wait, you did? No way!
[19:19] Issa
    Yes way.
[19:20] Issa
    Imagine getting outgrown by the guy who
    always admired and looked up to you.
[19:26] Issa
    You'd feel the pressure too.
[19:28] Issa
    And it's happening again now...
    This time with your acting.
[19:33] Issa
    I'm not gonna lose, though.
[19:35] Futaba
    Huh? You mean...
[19:37] Issa
    Enough about that. Conversation over.
[19:40] Issa
    Got it?
[19:42] Futaba
    Yeah!
[19:46] Issa
    Wipe that grin off your face!
[19:47] Futaba
    Ow!
[19:55] Futaba
    Here. One more dish.
[19:57] Issa
    You're helping out more than you used to.
[19:59] Futaba
    It's called growing up.
[20:02] Futaba
    Now then, let's eat!
[20:04] Issa
    Let's.
[20:05] Futaba
    The shoot is going to wrap pretty soon.
[20:08] Issa
    Yeah.
[20:09] Futaba
    I'll keep working hard.
    I'm not going to lose either.
[20:13] Issa
    Oh yeah?

[21:00] Issa (as Itsuki)
    It's all his fault.

    Shoot! Come on! You're no different from me!
[21:11] Futaba (as Ryo)
    Don't do it, Itsuki!

    Go ahead! Show us who you really are!
[21:21] Issa
    Sorry to disappoint.

    I've got someone who needs me here.

    Cut! Okay. Good work, everyone!
[21:41] Staff
    Good work!

    I can't compete with you after all.
[21:50] Issa
    Of course not. You'll never get
    the better of your big brother.

SIGN    Enchant • Part One
[02:06] Koduki
    So as you can see,
     with commercials like this,
[02:10] Koduki
    Myth Kiss cosmetics are hot right now.
[02:13] Koduki
    The company is planning to start
    a second line brand of products
[02:16] Koduki
    aimed at younger customers.
[02:19] Ayumu
    A second line?
[02:21] Reiji
    Like those so-called budget cosmetics?
    The kind you can get at convenience stores?
[02:26] Koduki
    Yes, a budget cosmetics line.
    The brand name is Illusion Kiss.
[02:34] Koduki
    They're reviewing potential
     brand ambassadors,
[02:37] Koduki
    and you two made the shortlist!
[02:39] Reiji
    I figured that's what was up.
[02:41] Ayumu
    We might become
    representatives for a brand?
[02:44] Reiji
    If we're getting offers like this,
[02:47] Reiji
    it must mean people are finally
     starting to see us as partners.
[02:51] Ayumu
    You're probably right.
    But don't get carried away.
[02:54] Ayumu
    We've only made the shortlist.
[02:56] Reiji
    Yeah, fair. But aren't you happy?
[03:00] Ayumu
    I am. Even if it's just a chance to try
    something new, I'm extremely pleased.
[03:06] Reiji
    Me too.
[03:07] Koduki
    Later on, there will be a camera test
     using the actual script and
[03:11] Koduki
    wardrobe for the commercial.
[03:13] Koduki
    That will be the final screening.
[03:15] Ayumu
    In costume and everything?
    Sounds like they're serious.
[03:19] Koduki
    The theme for the brand is "enchant,"
    as in to captivate or charm,
[03:24] Koduki
    and they want to make sure they
    get the right look on screen.
[03:28] Koduki
    Here's the script for the commercial.
[03:32] Koduki
    For your roles, Reiji-kun will be the wizard
[03:35] Koduki
    and Ayumu-kun will be
    the person he casts a spell on.
[03:40] Ayumu
    "Living alone in an apartment, she..."
    It's a woman?
[03:44] Ayumu
    "She's been feeling under the weather."
[03:47] Ayumu
    "But then one day, a handsome and
     stylish wizard appears to her."
[03:53] Reiji
    "He uses Illusion Kiss magic to grant
     the woman an exquisite makeover,
[03:58] Reiji
    transforming her into a beautiful lady
    who enchants everyone around her."
[04:02] Reiji
    "Things are looking up for tomorrow."
[04:05] Ayumu
    Except... she's being played by a man.
[04:09] Reiji
    Hah! So that's the twist.
[04:12] Ayumu
    It definitely has a touch of humor.
[04:14] Ayumu
    A handsome and stylish wizard, huh?
[04:17] Ayumu
    That suits you perfectly.
[04:19] Ayumu
    And I guess mine's because
    of my androgynous look.
[04:23] Reiji
    You'd better give a performance that
    really makes me mistake you for a woman.
[04:27] Ayumu
    That's easy for you to say.
    Of course I'll try, though.
[04:30] Koduki
    Incidentally, even if the job goes
    to two women or a male-female pair,
[04:36] Koduki
    the roles will stay the same.
[04:37] Reiji
    Huh. It'll be interesting
    whichever way it goes, then.
[04:41] Ayumu
    Considering the content and the talent,
[04:44] Ayumu
    it sounds like they want something that
    won't be overshadowed by Myth Kiss.
[04:49] Koduki
    They don't want to rely on its popularity.
[04:51] Koduki
    They're trying to create
    something completely new.
[04:54] Koduki
    That's what the person in charge told me.
[04:57] Reiji
    But haven't all of the Myth Kiss reps
    been TsukiPro members so far?
SIGN    Won't you kiss me
    like in a myth?
SIGN    Won't you kiss me
    like in a myth?
SIGN    Won't you kiss me
    like in a myth?
[05:01] Ayumu
    Huh.
[05:02] Reiji
    If they wanted something different,
    why did they come to us?
[05:05] Koduki
    It did sound like they were
    on the fence for a while,
[05:09] Koduki
    but I convinced them to not
    disqualify you over that.
[05:13] Ayumu
    Oh, no kidding.
[05:16] Koduki
    That's right. "TsukiPro members will always
    find a way to surprise you," I said.
[05:22] Ayumu
    So that's what we're up against.
[05:24] Reiji
    Now we've got to land this job.
[05:29] Koduki
    Yeah, let's get this one!
[05:31] Koduki
    If we do, we might bag an offer
    for a series later on too.
[05:35] Ayumu
    We've got to think about those who've
     carried the Myth Kiss brand this far.
[05:40] Ayumu
    They're pinning their hopes on us.
[05:42] Ayumu
    We don't want to disgrace our senior members.
[05:46] Reiji
    Don't need to tell me twice.
[05:48] Ayumu
    Well, as long as you understand. It's just
    that you never take things seriously.
[05:52] Reiji
    Oh? Do you doubt me, Ayumu-kun?
[05:55] Ayumu
    That's not what I'm saying.
[05:57] Ayumu
    It's a big responsibility,
    but if I go in, I'm in all the way.
[06:02] Reiji
    I thought so.
[06:03] Reiji
    See? We're both on board, so feel free
    to get your hopes up, Manager.
[06:08] Ayumu
    You can look forward to a job well done.
[06:12] Koduki
    Okay!
[06:13] Cameraman
    All right, we're going to do some quick tests.
[06:15] Cameraman
    Just relax and make yourself comfortable.
[06:18] Cameraman
    Yeah, that's good. Like that.
[06:22] Gaku
    So you and Ayumu are trying
    out for a makeup commercial?
[06:26] Ruka
    I can't wait to see how it turns out!
    I'm really curious.
[06:29] Ruka
    I hope you get it.
[06:31] Reiji
    Yeah. I'm not going
     to let this chance slip by.
[06:34] Reiji
    Ayumu's really motivated, too.
[06:36] Gaku
    You say that, but I bet he's really
    feeling the pressure internally.
[06:41] Reiji
    Probably.
[06:42] Gaku
    When do they make a decision?
[06:44] Reiji
    They said next week.
[06:46] Ruka
    Does this mean you and Ayumu-kun
    will be working together, like, every day?
[06:51] Reiji
    Yeah, I guess it does.
[06:53] Cameraman
    Okay, good!
[06:56] Ayumu
    Thank you very much.
[06:58] Staff
    Next, let's get Amaha-san and
    Tachibana-san together, please.
[07:02] Reiji
    Okay.
[07:04] Reiji
    All right, here I go.
[07:07] Ruka & Gaku
    See you later!
[07:11] Reiji
    I'm sorry, but it's a little chilly.
    Could you adjust the air conditioning?
[07:16] Staff
    Right away!
[07:18] Ruka
    Didja see that? Reiji-kun wasn't cold,
    but he noticed that Ayumu-kun was.
[07:24] Gaku
    Yeah. That's what makes him
    a closet care creature.
[07:27] Ruka
    Huh? What's that?
[07:29] Gaku
    That's what Ayumu called Reiji.
[07:32] Koduki
    Hello.
[07:34] Ruka
    Oh, Satoshi-kun!
[07:36] Koduki
    How's it going?
[07:38] Koduki
    Looks like they're shooting Reiji-kun
     and Ayumu-kun together now.
[07:44] Gaku
    They might even finish early today.
[07:52] Cameraman
    Nice! I was hoping for something like that.
[07:54] Reiji
    I thought so.
[07:56] Reiji
    When you told us about the vibe you wanted,
[07:58] Reiji
    I figured that's what you were going for.
[08:00] Cameraman
    You sure know what you're doing!
[08:02] Reiji
    Only because your directions were spot-on.
[08:07] Reiji
    Come on, Ayumu. You make a heart too.
[08:10] Ayumu
    R-Right.
[08:13] Reiji
    That's it, that's it.
[08:15] Ayumu
    Huh? Oh...
[08:19] Cameraman
    That works too!
[08:21] Cameraman
    Tachibana-kun, could you make
    it a little easier to see?
[08:24] Ayumu
    Ah, certainly.
[08:26] Ayumu
    Is this what he means?
[08:28] Reiji
    Sure. Like two cute little foxes.
[08:33] Reiji
    Hah! That's how you do it?
[08:36] Ayumu
    A heart is a heart.
[08:39] Koduki
    I never thought I'd see these two like this.
[08:43] Gaku
    Come to think of it, Koduki-san,
    didn't you work with them a long time ago?
[08:50] Ruka
    Before you were ROCK DOWN's hero, when you
     were still playing a sentai hero, right?
[08:56] Koduki
    Yes.
[08:58] Koduki
    Back then, there were always
    sparks flying between them,
[09:03] Koduki
    and I don't mean in a good way.
[09:05] Koduki
    Reiji-kun wasn't very good
    at working with others yet.
[09:10] Koduki
    He was always trying to stand out by himself.
[09:13] Koduki
    It really rubbed Ayumu-kun the wrong way.
[09:17] Koduki
    He tried to talk to Reiji-kun about it
    but could never find the right way to say it.
[09:22] Koduki
    Things got pretty tense.
[09:28] Gaku
    I can imagine.
[09:29] Gaku
    Reiji was even more hungry
    for attention back then,
[09:33] Gaku
    and he was too insecure
    to be conscientious of others.
[09:37] Ruka
    And if Reiji-kun was always showing off,
[09:40] Ruka
    Ayumu-kun's basically the opposite,
    so I bet they really clashed.
[09:44] Koduki
    Yeah.
[09:45] Koduki
    I didn't fully understand
    what was happening at the time.
[09:49] Koduki
    It wasn't until I became ROCK DOWN's
     manager that I put two and two together.
[09:54] Koduki
    And now, not only do they lean on each other,
[10:00] Koduki
    but they genuinely seem to enjoy
    being in the band together.
[10:06] Gaku
    Well, sure. They get to work with us.
[10:08] Ruka
    And you, Satoshi-kun.
[10:10] Koduki
    Right.
[10:11] Ayumu
    Sounds like you're having fun.
[10:13] Ayumu
    What are you talking about?
[10:17] Ruka
    How you and Reiji-kun
    are getting along so well.
[10:20] Ayumu
    What does that mean?
[10:22] Ayumu
    Well, I suppose we're getting
     along well enough...
[10:25] Gaku
    Ayumu, I can tell you really admire Reiji,
[10:28] Gaku
    so maybe saying you
    "get along" isn't quite right.
[10:31] Ayumu
    Wh-What makes you say I admire him?
[10:34] Ayumu
    Well, in a way, I guess I do.
[10:37] Koduki
    You make great partners.
[10:39] Ayumu
    You too, Koduki-san?
[10:41] Koduki
    I really think you do.
[10:43] Koduki
    Actually, Reiji-kun's the one who gave me
    the idea for the brand ambassador job.
[10:49] Koduki
    That's what made me recommend you.
[10:51] Ayumu; Gaku; Ruka
    Huh?
[10:53] Koduki
    He said something to me.
[10:55] Koduki
    "Ayumu has been making suggestions
    and working on his weaknesses.
[11:00] Koduki
    He's really starting to show a
    positive, proactive attitude.
[11:04] Koduki
    I bet if he takes on more new challenges,
[11:07] Koduki
    he'll grow so quickly it'll blow us away."
[11:13] Ruka
    Wow!
[11:14] Gaku
    Reiji's always got a close eye on Ayumu,
     so that means something coming from him.
[11:18] Koduki
    He added, "And as my partner matures,
     I'll get more job offers too!"
[11:25] Ayumu
    Reiji actually said all that?
[11:35] Ayumu
    I can't afford to mess this up now.
[11:43] CM staff 1
    Wow!
[11:45] CM staff 2
    Classic Amaha-san!
    You look fantastic in anything!
[11:48] Reiji
    Don't I just?
[11:50] Reiji
    Is Ayumu still changing?
[11:52] Koduki
    Yes.
[11:53] Reiji
    I can't believe we're doing a camera
    test with him made up like a woman.
[11:56] Reiji
    He was freaking out about it.
[11:59] Koduki
    It's the last day of tests,
    so he's been nervous since this morning.
[12:05] Koduki
    I bet this makes it even worse.
[12:07] Reiji
    Well, it'll work out.
    He knows I'm here for him.
[12:10] Koduki
    Yup. That's one thing I'm not worried about.
[12:13] Reiji
    You didn't miss a beat there!
[12:16] Koduki
    Oh, Ayumu-kun.
[12:18] Koduki
    Looks like he's ready.
[12:21] Ayumu
    My apologies. Sorry to keep you waiting.
[12:30] Ayumu
    How do I look?
[12:37] CM staff 1
    Oh my gosh, you're so pretty!
[12:39] CM staff 2
    What a transformation.
[12:43] Makeup Artist
    Isn't he lovely?
[12:44] Makeup Artist
    The makeup went on well
    because you have such great skin.
[12:46] Makeup Artist
    I enjoyed painting you!
[12:48] Ayumu
    Th-Thank you very much.
[12:51] Ayumu
    I feel like a different person.
    I'm really impressed with your work.
[12:56] Ayumu
    I'll put my best face forward
    so it doesn't go to waste.
[13:05] Ayumu
    Reiji.
[13:06] Reiji
    Huh?
[13:09] Ayumu
    Is it okay?
[13:10] Reiji
    Ah... Jeez.
[13:13] Reiji
    Yeah, looks about right.
[13:17] Ayumu
    Does it? What a relief.
[13:19] Reiji
    Huh?
[13:21] Ayumu
    If I'm up to your standards,
    we're in good shape.
[13:24] Ayumu
    At least I know I don't look trashy.
[13:27] Reiji
    Yeah, that's about the last word I'd use...
[13:30] CM staff 2
    All right, let's start the camera test.
[13:33] Reiji & Ayumu
    Okay!
[13:38] Shou
    Mm-hmm. Let's go with that episode.
[13:40] Haruto
    Sure.
[13:41] Shou
    Welcome home, guys.
[13:43] Haruto
    I hope work went well.
[13:45] Reiji
    We're back.
[13:46] Ayumu
    We're back.
[13:48] Shou
    So, how did today's camera test go?
[13:53] Ayumu
    I guess we got through it okay. Right, Reiji?
[13:57] Reiji
    Yeah, sure we did.
[14:00] Shou
    Then why do you both look so down right now?
[14:04] Haruto
    He's right. Normally, you'd say something
    like "hell yeah!" Right, Reiji-san?
[14:10] Reiji
    Well, it's just...
[14:12] Ayumu
    Reiji was perfect like always,
[14:15] Ayumu
    but my mind went totally blank.
[14:18] Reiji
    Listen, I already told you that's just
    because you were concentrating so hard.
[14:23] Reiji
    Your performance was just fine.
[14:26] Ayumu
    I hope you're right, but if we fail,
    I'll think it was my fault.
[14:31] Reiji
    Yeah, it was totally me...
[14:35] Reiji
    Anyway, we both gave it our best shot.
[14:38] Reiji
    Don't waste any time
    imagining the worst. Got it?
[14:41] Ayumu
    Y-Yeah.
[14:43] Reiji
    What about you guys? Rehearsing something?
[14:46] Haruto
    Yes. We have a guest spot on a radio program.
[14:49] Reiji
    Wow! You two on as guests?
[14:53] Reiji
    The host better be great at witty comebacks.
[14:56] Shou
    He's the goofball half of a comedy duo.
[14:59] Reiji
    So who's gonna be the straight man?!
[15:01] Ayumu
    Oh, speaking of, Reiji...
[15:03] Ayumu
    Do you want to rehearse too?
    We're on set tomorrow again.
[15:07] Reiji
    Huh? Oh, sure...
[15:11] Reiji
    Actually, tonight's no good.
[15:13] Ayumu
    Huh?
[15:14] Reiji
    Sorry, man. Let's do it tomorrow.
[15:16] Ayumu
    O-Oh, okay.
[15:18] Reiji
    See ya.
[15:31] (Flashback) Film Staff
    Great work today, Reiji!
    Another job well done.
[15:35] (Flashback) Reiji
    Thanks so much!
[15:37] (Flashback) Reiji
    Wha—
[15:44] (Flashback) Reiji
    What's wrong, man? You sick?
[15:48] (Flashback) Ayumu
    I feel fine.
[15:51] (Flashback) Reiji
    So, what? Are you depressed or something?
[15:54] (Flashback) Reiji
    You did screw up a lot.
[15:59] (Flashback) Reiji
    Whatever. Don't worry about it.
     You eventually got it.
[16:04] (Flashback) Ayumu
    Is that supposed to make me feel better?
[16:07] (Flashback) Reiji
    What gives?
[16:11] (Flashback) Reiji
    It's not like you to screw up like that.
[16:14] (Flashback) Reiji
    Ah... Or did my perfect performance right
    beforehand put too much pressure on you?
[16:25] (Flashback) Reiji
    Wait, seriously?
[16:29] (Flashback) Reiji
    Okay, I get it. But I can't help it.
    I'm just that good.
[16:38] (Flashback) Reiji
    You honestly did great at the end, though.
[16:43] (Flashback) Reiji
    Just try harder next time.
[16:51] (Flashback) Reiji
    Or do you want me to give you a few pointers?
[16:54] (Flashback) Ayumu
    Would you?!
[16:56] (Flashback) Ayumu
    Er, I mean...
[17:11] Reiji
    How the tables have turned...
[17:14] Reiji
    What the hell is wrong with me?
    If we lose this job, it'll be all my fault.
[17:20] Reiji
    No, this isn't like me.
[17:24] Reiji
    Pull yourself together, Reiji Amaha!
[17:27] Vazzcats
    Meow!
[17:46] Vazzcats
    Meow!
[17:47] Reiji
    Thanks so much!
[17:49] Radio Staff
    Great work! You were in top form today.
[17:53] Reiji
    Appreciate it.
[17:55] Reiji
    Yeah, this is more my style.
[18:00] Haruto
    What's your assessment of Reiji-san?
[18:03] Shou
    He doesn't seem
    as laid-back as usual, I guess.
[18:24] Reiji
    By the way, when will we hear back
    about the Illusion Kiss commercial?
[18:30] Koduki
    I'm expecting a call anytime now.
[18:32] Ayumu
    I'm nervous about it,
    but it's kind of exciting too.
[18:35] Reiji
    Oh, uh, yeah.
[18:37] Reiji
    If we get it, let's make a
    commercial we can be proud of...
[18:41] Reiji
    for a change.
[18:43] Ayumu
    Let's.
[18:50] Cameraman
    Mm-hmm. Perfect again today. Looking great!
[18:54] Reiji
    Thank you very much.
[18:56] Ayumu
    Recently, it feels like our renowned
    Amaha has been closing himself off.
[19:01] Koduki
    Huh?
[19:03] Ayumu
    Outside of work, Reiji has
    hardly been speaking to me.
[19:07] Koduki
    Is that right?
[19:09] Staff
    Thank you for waiting.
    Right this way, Tachibana-san.
[19:13] Ayumu
    Sure.
[19:22] Cameraman
    Um, could you squeeze in
    a little closer, please?
[19:25] Ayumu
    Sure.
[19:26] Reiji
    Like this?
[19:28] Cameraman
    Yes, that's good.
[19:40] Cameraman
    Uh...
[19:42] Cameraman
    Tachibana-san, could you smile a little more?
[19:45] Cameraman
    And Amaha-san, take it down a notch?
[19:48] Reiji
    Oh, sure.
[19:50] Ayumu
    All right.
[19:56] Koduki
    What's going on?
[19:58] Koduki
    It's like they're out of sync
    or they're in different places.
[20:03] Koduki
    Like they're back to their old selves again.
[20:11] Staff
    Let's stop the shoot for now.
    Please head inside.
[20:20] Koduki
    The rain won't stop anytime soon,
[20:22] Koduki
    so the rest of the shoot
    is delayed until next time.
[20:27] Ayumu
    I'm sorry. I always bring black clouds.
[20:31] Koduki
    You don't need to apologize.
[20:33] Koduki
    I reserved an extra day just
    in case of something like this.
[20:37] Koduki
    So let's give it another shot.
[20:39] Ayumu
    Okay.
[20:40] Reiji
    Are you all right? I really
    hope you don't catch a cold.
[20:44] Staff
    I appreciate it.
[20:51] Koduki
    Please excuse me.
[20:54] Ayumu
    Sure.
[20:56] Koduki
    Yes, this is Koduki.
[20:58] Koduki
    Ah, thank you for your time. Yes. Yes!
[21:03] Koduki
    Thank you so much!
[21:06] Ruka
    You got the brand ambassador job? Congrats!
[21:10] Ayumu
    Thanks.
[21:13] Ruka
    Aren't you happy?
[21:14] Ayumu
    Yeah. I'll give the shoot everything I've got.
[21:18] Shou
    What a relief, right, Reiji?
[21:20] Reiji
    Yeah.
[21:21] Reiji
    Oh... Um, I mean, I always knew we'd get it.
[21:26] Ruka
    We gotta celebrate!
    How about some sweets and matcha?
[21:31] Ayumu
    No, we haven't finished our shoot yet.
     Don't go out of your way.
[21:38] Reiji
    Ayumu, your face is pretty red.
[21:43] Reiji
    Hey!
[21:44] Ruka
    Ayumu-kun!
[21:45] Shou
    Ayumu?

[02:16] Ouka
    Still high.
[02:18] Yuma
    Did he get medicine for the fever?
[02:20] Ruka
    Yeah. Gaku-kun is making him rice
    porridge. He can take it after eating.
[02:25] Ouka
    Do you think you can eat?
[02:27] Ayumu
    Yeah, probably.
[02:30] Ouka
    I brought you some lychees too.
     You can have them later.
[02:34] Ayumu
    Thanks. I know you're all busy,
     so I appreciate this.
[02:38] Ouka
    Don't worry about it. The other members
    said they'd come check on you too.
[02:43] Yuma
    We were able to shift our schedules around
    today, so somebody should always be home.
[02:48] Yuma
    If you need anything,
     don't hesitate to ask, okay?
[02:52] Ayumu
    Thank you.
[02:54] Ayumu
    Come in.
[02:56] Shou
    Morning, everyone.
[02:57] Haruto
    How are you doing, Ayumu-san?
[02:59] Ayumu
    Good morning.
[03:00] Ayumu
    I still have a fever, but everyone's
    helping out, so I'm okay.
[03:07] Shou
    It looks like it.
[03:08] Haruto
    We should be back by evening,
    so please take care of him until then.
[03:17] Shou & Haruto
    See you later.
[03:18] Ouka; Yuma; Ruka; Ayumu
    See you.
[03:24] Haruto
    So it looks like we'll all be
    taking turns watching him today.
[03:28] Koduki
    I'm glad. I should be able
    to drop by around noon too.
[03:32] Shou
    Are you sure? You don't have to.
[03:35] Koduki
    Oh, it's totally fine. I have it
    a lot easier than some people.
[03:40] Haruto
    Reiji-san picked up most
    of Ayumu-san's jobs, didn't he?
[03:45] Koduki
    Yes.
[03:46] Koduki
    He took everything that didn't
    conflict with his schedule,
[03:50] Koduki
    but it hasn't left him time for any breaks.
[03:52] Koduki
    He'll also be working until late at night.
[03:56] Haruto
    That sounds really rough.
[03:58] Shou
    He insisted on that?
[04:01] Koduki
    He did.
[04:03] Shou
    I see...
[04:05] Koduki
    I've actually been a little worried
    about Reiji-kun for a while now.
[04:09] Haruto
    You have?
[04:11] Koduki
    Yes.
[04:12] Koduki
    You know how he's been
    working with Ayumu-kun a lot, right?
[04:16] Koduki
    They're usually so in step,
[04:18] Koduki
    but they've seemed out of sync lately.
[04:21] Koduki
    And Ayumu-kun says they haven't
    been talking outside of work.
[04:27] Haruto
    Huh?
[04:28] Koduki
    When that photo shoot got rained out,
     something didn't seem right.
[04:33] Koduki
    Normally, Reiji-kun is always
    the first to check on Ayumu-kun
[04:37] Koduki
    and I feel bad for being slow on the draw.
[04:39] Koduki
    Usually, anyway.
[04:41] Koduki
    But that didn't happen.
[04:43] Koduki
    And then he volunteered to fill
    in for all of Ayumu-kun's jobs.
[04:49] Haruto
    I can see why you're worried.
[04:52] Shou
    Me too.
[04:59] Ruka
    This one... and then this?
[05:02] Yuma
    Yes. One of each.
[05:04] Gaku
    By the way, have you heard from Reiji?
[05:07] Ayumu
    Uh, no, not yet today.
[05:12] Gaku
    But he's usually the first to check on you...
[05:17] Gaku
    Ah, never mind.
[05:19] Ouka
    I finished peeling the lychees.
[05:21] Ruka
    Once you eat those,
    it's time for your medicine.
[05:23] Yuma
    It sounds like you can stop taking the fever
    reducer once your temperature goes down,
[05:27] Yuma
    so you should check before you take it.
[05:30] Ayumu
    Okay. Thank you.
[06:24] Ayumu
    Are these all get-well gifts?
[06:30] Ayumu
    You guys came to visit too? Thanks.
[06:36] Ayumu
    Everyone here is so good to me.
[06:40] Ayumu
    I bet the guys are busy covering
    for the jobs I'm missing too.
[06:46] Ayumu
    Sorry. I'm feeling a little down.
[06:50] Ayumu
    How did I even end up like this?
[06:55] Ayumu
    It's always been this way.
[06:57] Ayumu
    I was never strong enough,
    physically or emotionally.
[07:00] Ayumu
    When I pushed myself even a
    little, I'd start feeling ill.
[07:04] Ayumu
    I tried to take things seriously,
[07:06] Ayumu
    but sometimes it just made me
     so nervous I'd get sick.
[07:12] (Flashback) Classmate 1
    He's going home early again?
[07:14] (Flashback) Classmate 2
    I bet he's faking it. He's always skipping.
[07:17] (Flashback) Classmate 1
    They spoil him because he's an actor.
[07:20] Ayumu
    In elementary school,
[07:22] Ayumu
    I was already missing class for work too.
     It made it hard to fit in.
[07:31] (Flashback) Colleague 1
    Is he sick again? Staying healthy
     is part of the job too.
[07:36] (Flashback) Colleague 2
    No kidding. It's totally irresponsible
    to get sick like that before work.
[07:41] Ayumu
    When I got a little older,
    people started talking about me on sets.
[07:48] Ayumu
    And I did feel responsible.
    I wanted to do something about it.
[07:54] Ayumu
    It was embarrassing being
    that weak. I hated it!
[07:58] (Flashback) Reiji (at 13)
    Get over it.
[08:11] Ayumu
    Then I met a guy named Reiji,
[08:14] Ayumu
    and more than ever before,
    I realized I couldn't stay that way.
[08:23] Ayumu
    So I've tried to take good care of myself.
[08:29] Ayumu
    What a joke.
[08:31] Ruka
    Ayumu-kun, can we come in?
[08:35] Ayumu
    Yeah, come in.
[08:36] Gaku
    Hope we aren't bothering you.
[08:39] Ruka
    Ta-dah!
[08:40] Ruka
    A special fruit tray delivery
    from Gaku's Fruit Parlor.
[08:44] Gaku
    With lychee from Ouka-kun too.
[08:48] Ayumu
    Thanks.
[08:49] Ruka
    Ouka-kun has lychee for every occasion.
[08:52] Gaku
    I know.
[08:53] Gaku
    He started sharing them for some reason,
    and now it's become a habit.
[08:59] Gaku
    Or something like that.
[09:01] Ruka
    I'll leave this here.
[09:03] Ruka
    Vazz and Rock were worried
    about you too, Ayumu-kun.
[09:06] Gaku
    Yeah. They're all over him.
[09:09] Ayumu
    I guess they're trying to cheer me up.
[09:12] Ruka & Gaku
    Huh?
[09:14] Ayumu
    Ah, shoot, I didn't mean
    to say that out loud.
[09:18] Ayumu
    I was just wishing I wasn't
    always such a weakling.
[09:21] Gaku
    What? You aren't that weak, though.
[09:25] Ruka
    Yeah. I know you said you used to be frail,
    but this is just a cold.
[09:30] Ruka
    Even I catch colds!
[09:32] Ayumu
    But no one gets them more than me.
[09:36] Gaku
    Well, yeah, compared to the guys who
    never get sick, that might be true.
[09:41] Ruka
    But only by a little. Especially recently.
[09:46] Ayumu
    Now that you mention it, maybe I am
    getting sick less often than I used to.
[09:52] Ayumu
    After joining ROCKDOWN, I've become
    a lot more physically active, right?
[09:56] Ruka
    Yeah.
[09:57] Ruka
    We go pretty hard with all the dance
    lessons and voice training and stuff.
[10:01] Ruka
    But you're making it work.
[10:03] Ruka
    Even prepping for VAZZROCK Live.
[10:05] Gaku
    You do some really physically
     demanding variety shows too.
[10:09] Ayumu
    Yeah. The old me probably would've
    passed out in rehearsals.
[10:13] Ayumu
    But that hasn't happened.
[10:16] Ayumu
    Instead of getting sick, I've actually
    been feeling a lot more energetic.
[10:20] Ruka & Gaku
    Huh.
[10:21] Ruka
    Maybe all the hard going was good for him.
[10:23] Gaku
    Dorm life might be helping too.
[10:26] Ayumu
    I bet it's all of those things.
[10:30] Ayumu
    It's all thanks to you guys.
[10:39] Ayumu
    I was really anxious, but after you guys
    opened up to me, that all vanished.
[10:45] Ayumu
    But you did more than just accept me.
SIGN    Throat Drops
[10:48] Ayumu
    You always watch out for me.
[10:50] Ayumu
    You've had my back all this time.
[10:58] Ayumu
    That's why, even when work is
    exhausting, I can give my best.
[11:04] Ayumu
    Thank you.
[11:06] Gaku
    You're very welcome. But I
    kinda think it goes both ways.
[11:11] Ayumu
    Huh?
[11:12] Ruka
    We can't really complain about stuff
    when we see you working so hard.
[11:17] Ruka
    You inspire us to hang in there.
[11:19] Gaku
    He's right.
[11:20] Ayumu
    Do you really think so?
[11:23] Ayumu
    I'm glad to hear it.
[11:25] Ayumu
    But I still think I owe you all big-time.
[11:31] Gaku
    You're so sincere.
[11:32] Ayumu
    Most of all, I feel like
     I'm always burdening Reiji.
[11:37] Ayumu
    Even now. I hear he's covering my jobs.
[11:41] Ruka
    Yeah. Reiji-kun stepped up and volunteered.
[11:46] Ayumu
    I need to thank him.
[11:48] Gaku
    Then you'd better get well so you can.
[11:51] Ayumu
    Yeah, you're right.

SIGN    Soothing Relief!
[11:56] Ayumu
    I'm sure Reiji can handle the work,

[12:05] Koduki
    Thanks for working so late.
[12:07] Reiji
    You too, manager.
[12:09] Koduki
    You know...
[12:10] Reiji
    Huh?
[12:11] Koduki
    Should we pass some of Ayumu-kun's
    jobs to the others after all?
[12:16] Reiji
    No, this is a breeze. Sorry to be so greedy.
[12:20] Koduki
    You aren't being greedy.
[12:21] Koduki
    You're saving my neck,
    so I don't think that at all.
[12:24] Reiji
    This is all my fault anyway.
[12:26] Koduki
    Huh?
[12:37] Reiji
    I'm not surprised they're all asleep.
[12:40] Reiji
    I could use a snack.
[12:50] Haruto
    Hmm.
[12:51] Reiji
    Wha—?!
[12:52] Haruto
    Good evening, sir.
[12:55] Haruto
    Surprise! Attack of the midnight dinner.
[12:59] Reiji
    That gag is so old!
    Are you seriously in your twenties?
[13:04] Shou
    Welcome home, Reiji.
[13:06] Reiji
    Thank you.
[13:07] Reiji
    Now would you do something
    about this guy, Shou?
[13:09] Haruto
    You don't need to tell me to back off.
[13:13] Reiji
    Jeez. What the heck are you guys even up to?
[13:16] Haruto
    I think that's our line.
[13:18] Haruto
    I almost mistook you for an ally in darkness.
[13:20] Reiji
    I want no part of that.
[13:22] Shou
    We heard you'd be late,
    so we decided to wait up.
[13:26] Reiji
    Why?
[13:27] Shou
    We wanted to talk about something.
[13:29] Shou
    Were you preparing some late-night tea?
[13:32] Reiji
    No, not tea.
[13:33] Reiji
    I was hungry, so I was gonna
    make instant ramen or something.
[13:37] Haruto
    So you're making your move!
[13:39] Reiji
    I'm really getting tired of this bit.
[13:41] Reiji
    Can we not right now?
[13:43] Haruto
    All right, so be it.
[13:45] Haruto
    At least let me make the ramen for you.
[13:49] Reiji
    Why would I do that?!
[13:50] Reiji
    I've heard the legends
    about your nightmare ramen!
[13:54] Haruto
    Oh, you're too kind.
[13:56] Reiji
    Quit grinning! That wasn't a compliment!
[13:58] Shou
    Ramen sure is delicious.
[14:00] Shou
    Now I'm hungry for some too.
[14:02] Reiji
    Okay, fine. I get it. Fine. Whatever!
[14:06] Reiji
    Just quit bothering me. I'll do it, okay?
[14:08] Reiji
    I'll make enough for three.
[14:11] Haruto
    Oh. Really, let me make it.
[14:12] Reiji
    You go prep cabbage or something!
[14:26] Shou
    Is there anything I can help with?
[14:27] Reiji
    No. Sit down.
[14:29] Shou
    All right.
[14:30] Shou
    I just wanted to ask.
[14:32] Shou
    I thought it would be polite.
[14:33] Reiji
    Of course you did.
[14:36] Reiji
    So, didn't you say you wanted
    to talk about something?
[14:39] Shou
    Yeah.
[14:41] Shou
    You and Ayumu have been
    avoiding each other recently.
[14:44] Shou
    Why is that?
[14:46] Reiji
    You always go straight for
    the jugular without warning.
[14:51] Shou
    If I don't catch you by surprise,
[14:53] Shou
    you put up your guard
     and I can't break through.
[14:56] Shou
    So? What exactly happened?
[14:59] Reiji
    What? Nothing happened.
[15:02] Shou
    Come on, that's not true.
    It's written all over your face. See?
[15:07] Haruto
    It is. I can see it brewing behind your eyes.
     Our poor, troubled Amaha.
[15:11] Haruto
    Now, free yourself of your troubles
     by sharing them with us.
[15:15] Reiji
    Fine, fine, fine, fine! Okay! I'll talk!
[15:17] Reiji
    I'll talk! Just give me some space!
[15:22] Reiji
    It happened at the camera
    test for Illusion Kiss.
[15:26] Haruto
    Oh, that's when it started?
[15:28] Haruto
    But you got the brand ambassador job,
    so I thought it turned out okay.
[15:32] Reiji
    Well, yeah. All thanks to Ayumu.
[15:35] Haruto
    Huh?
[15:41] Reiji
    He was super popular
    with the staff on that set.
[15:46] Reiji
    I thought he was going to upstage me.
[15:50] Haruto
    I can't believe I'm hearing this
    from our world-renowned Amaha.
[15:54] Reiji
    I'm saying that's how it felt.
[15:55] Reiji
    There's no way he'd really
     upstage me. It's just...
[15:59] Shou
    Just what?
[16:02] Reiji
    It really startled me. He was mesmerizing.
[16:07] Reiji
    Honestly, I felt like I'd lost to him,
    so I was kind of pissed.
[16:12] Shou & Haruto
    Huh.
[16:13] Reiji
    That doesn't faze you?!
[16:14] Reiji
    You two might not get it, but I'm a
    sensitive guy, so that stuff matters to me!
[16:18] Shou
    Sorry, sorry. What happened next?
[16:21] Reiji
    I just couldn't get back into it.
[16:24] Reiji
    When I realized I'd been holding Ayumu
    back, I couldn't forgive myself.
[16:28] Shou
    So you tried to get your groove
    back but lost your rhythm?
[16:32] Haruto
    You panicked and tried to race
    ahead again all by yourself.
[16:36] Reiji
    Yeah, yeah. That's exactly what happened.
SIGN    Powdered Soup

[16:40] Reiji
    So, as I grew more desperate,
     I guess I started avoiding Ayumu.
[16:44] Reiji
    And when I didn't check on him after the
    photo shoot, he ended up catching a cold.
[16:48] Shou
    You feel guilty, and that's why
    you're covering for him now.
[16:53] Reiji
    That's right. Are you satisfied now?
[16:56] Shou
    I suppose so.
[16:57] Haruto
    It looks like the ramen is ready now too.
[17:01] Haruto
    Instant ramen made by the
    world-renowned Amaha himself!
[17:05] Reiji
    That's right. Brace yourselves!
[17:07] Haruto
    Okay. Thanks for the food.
[17:10] Haruto
    How about you, Ayumu-san?
[17:12] Shou
    It looks delicious. Come on over.
[17:15] Reiji
    Huh? What?!
[17:22] Reiji
    You...
[17:23] Reiji
    What are you doing? Get back in bed!
[17:26] Reiji
    What if you get worse?
[17:28] Shou
    That's your issue?
[17:29] Haruto
    Ayumu-san wanted to wait up for you too,
     so we let him sleep on the sofa.
[17:34] Shou
    But it's fine. He kept warm with
    all the blankets we gave him.
[17:41] Reiji
    If you were on the sofa this whole time...
[17:45] Ayumu
    I heard everything.
[17:51] Haruto
    Well then, it seems you two
     have a lot to discuss,
[17:54] Haruto
    so Shou and I will be on our way.
[17:56] Reiji
    Huh?! What about the ramen?
[17:58] Haruto
    We'll have it in our rooms!
[18:00] Reiji
    Yeah, I should've known!
[18:02] Shou
    We'll give you two some privacy.
[18:04] Haruto
    Take care, Ayumu-san.
[18:06] Ayumu
    Thanks.
[18:11] Reiji
    Anyway, wanna eat?
[18:14] Ayumu
    Yeah. I'll have some.
[18:18] Ayumu
    Thanks for the food.
[18:21] Reiji
    Did you have enough?
[18:23] Ayumu
    It was plenty. I already had dinner.
[18:26] Reiji
    You sure you didn't lose your
    appetite because of the cold?
[18:30] Ayumu
    Yeah. My fever is down too.
[18:33] Reiji
    Is it? That's good.
[18:35] Ayumu
    Were you really...
[18:38] Ayumu
    that worried about me?
[18:40] Reiji
    Well, yeah, I guess.
[18:48] Reiji
    You heard everything earlier, right?
[18:52] Ayumu
    Yeah.
[18:53] Ayumu
    I didn't realize you felt that
    way during the camera test.
[19:02] Ayumu
    And the reason you were avoiding me...
[19:05] Reiji
    That was my bad. I'm sorry.
[19:06] Ayumu
    No, don't apologize. I'm flattered.
[19:12] Ayumu
    I thought that I would always
    be trailing behind you.
[19:17] Ayumu
    But if you of all people got jealous of me,
[19:22] Ayumu
    if I've really grown that much,
[19:25] Ayumu
    I'm honestly happy.
[19:28] Reiji
    You aren't mad?
[19:30] Ayumu
    That's right. I'm not bothered at all.
[19:32] Ayumu
    And the reason I got sick was because
    I didn't take care of myself.
[19:36] Ayumu
    Not because of anything you did.
[19:40] Ayumu
    Get over it.
[19:41] Reiji
    Huh?
[19:43] (Flashback) Reiji (at 13)
    Get over it.
[19:46] Ayumu
    That's what you used
    to tell me when I got sick.
[19:51] Ayumu
    I'd always think, "Do I have
    to take that from this jerk?"
[19:55] Reiji
    Yeah, that sounds like the old you.
[19:59] Ayumu
    These days, we're so close that we
    split late-night ramen together.
[20:04] Ayumu
    And now I realize you meant, "Don't worry.
    You'll have a chance to make it up."
[20:08] Ayumu
    You were trying to encourage me.
[20:11] Reiji
    Ayumu...
[20:14] Ayumu
    I'm sure we'll both still do
    things we regret in the future,
[20:18] Ayumu
    but let's work through them and keep going.
[20:26] Ayumu
    I'm sorry I let myself get sick.
[20:29] Ayumu
    I'll be more careful, so I hope
    you'll still put up with me.
[20:33] Reiji
    I didn't expect that.
[20:35] Reiji
    Man, you just keep finding
    ways to make me look bad.
[20:42] Reiji
    Anyway, my attitude really
    sucked, and I'm sorry.
[20:47] Reiji
    I'll watch myself too,
    so let's try to get along.
[20:51] Ayumu
    Yeah.
[20:52] Reiji
    First things first!
    Let's nail that commercial, partner!
[20:56] Ayumu
    Yeah, absolutely.
[21:07] Ayumu
    Ugh, I'm so worn out.
[21:13] Reiji
    That doesn't look like you.
[21:16] Ayumu
    Huh?
[21:18] Reiji
    Let me use my special magic!
[21:21] Ayumu
    Whoa!

    I-Is this the man I am?
[21:25] Reiji

    Things are looking up for tomorrow!
[21:32] Reiji

    "Lady"?
[21:38] Reiji
    See? Now you're a beautiful gentleman
    who will enchant everyone you meet!
[21:42] Ayumu
    You said it differently!

    Cast a spell on everyone around you.

    Of course! I've never given up
    on my dream of becoming one.

    I want to become a warrior, travel around,

    and become strong enough
    to help the weak and unfortunate.
[07:38] Takaaki
    I see.

    It is true that the valiant warriors of
    Shikkoku travel the continent
[07:42] Takaaki
    trying to make the world a better place.

    But the path to becoming

    I'm prepared for that.

    I know, Takaaki-san! Will you do a reading
    to see if I'll become a warrior or not?

    Hmm.

    Oh!

    need our prediction to follow that path.

    It's exactly as Ouka says.

    Your destiny is not necessarily your future.

    You wanna get hurt?
[09:49] Courier B
    You'd better run while you can.
[09:51] Naosuke
    That's our line!
[09:53] Naosuke
    Do you think we'll let brutes
    like you get away with this?
[09:56] Naosuke
    I'll be a warrior someday, so watch it!
[09:58] Courier C
    A warrior? A shrimp like you?
[10:01] Courier C
    Don't make me laugh!
[10:02] Yuma
    Nao-sama!
[10:07] Futaba
    Adults shouldn't pick fights with children.
[10:10] Courier A
    Who the hell are you?
[10:11] Issa
    Jeez, what a pain.
[10:16] Merchant
    What's all the ruckus?
[10:17] Merchant
    Wh-What in the...
[10:18] Courier B
    W-We were just moving our cargo.
[10:22] Courier B
    But these two blocked our carriage
     and tried to start a fight.
[10:27] Merchant
    What? Is that right?
[10:28] Issa
    Come on, Futaba. Let's go.
[10:31] Courier C
    You damn thief! How dare you steal our goods?!
[10:35] Issa
    Huh?
[10:36] Issa
    Here.
[10:36] Merchant
    Whoa!
[10:37] Issa
    I wouldn't eat fruit that
    rotten if you begged me.
[10:40] Courier A
    What'd you say, punk?!
[10:44] Futaba
    Hey, Brother! Jeez...
[10:47] Naosuke
    Wow, they're pretty tough.
[10:49] Yuma
    Who in the world are they?
[10:50] Issa
    Heh. You picked a fight
    with the wrong people.
[10:53] Futaba
    You can never just let it go, can you?
[10:55] Futaba
    Oh?
[10:59] Courier A
    You're gonna wish you hadn't said that.
[11:01] Issa
    Tch. Looks like the odds are against us.
[11:04] Futaba
    What should we do, Brother?
SIGN    White Horse Merchandise
[11:09] Hajime
    And what's going on over here?
[11:11] Courier B
    Huh? Keep out of this, stranger.
[11:13] Hajime
    Seeing as you outnumber them,
     I can't do that.
[11:17] Hajime
    Koi! Kakeru!
[11:19] Kakeru
    Yes!
[11:19] Koi
    Yes!
[11:21] Hajime
    Hup!
[11:22] Koi
    Take that!
[11:23] Kakeru
    Hyah!
[11:25] Naosuke
    They're tough! And those black outfits...
[11:29] Naosuke
    Could these guys be...
[11:31] Hajime
    That's enough.
[11:33] Courier C
    Damn it! Let me go!
[11:35] Futaba
    Phew. We're saved, brother.
[11:38] Issa
    Hmph. Didn't need their help.
[11:40] Courier A
    Damn it! If that's how it is,
     the rest of us will...
[11:43] Takaaki
    What's this?
     I thought it seemed lively over here.
[11:46] Takaaki
    Everyone's gathered together.
[11:48] Ouka
    What a mess of humans. Is today a festival?
[11:51] Naosuke
    Takaaki-san?!
[11:51] Merchant
    You... You're the astrologer from the capital!
[11:54] Takaaki
    Ah, it's White Horse Merchandise.
[11:57] Takaaki
    What's the matter?
[11:58] Merchant
    Oh, well, some cargo was spilled
    and things got a little messy.
[12:03] Issa
    Ugh, that guy?
[12:05] Issa
    Come on. We're outta here.
[12:06] Futaba
    Huh? Wait, Brother...
[12:08] Koi
    Are you their employer?
[12:11] Kakeru
    Isn't it bad for your reputation to be
    starting trouble in the street like this?
[12:15] Kakeru
    If this should continue...
[12:19] Merchant
    I-I understand.
[12:20] Merchant
    Hey, guys! That's enough!
    I said that's enough!
[12:24] Naosuke
    They really are warriors!
[12:27] Hajime
    Are these acquaintances
    of yours, Takaaki-san?
[12:30] Takaaki
    Yes, the son of the district
    chairman and his escort.
[12:34] Takaaki
    I'm sorry if they caused any trouble.
[12:35] Hajime
    It's fine.
[12:36] Hajime
    This country is so peaceful,
    we were starting to get soft anyway.
[12:40] Hajime
    This was just what we needed.
[12:41] Koi
    Definitely. It felt good
    to let loose for once.
[12:44] Kakeru
    Yeah. We needed the exercise.
[12:47] Naosuke
    Thank you very much for coming to our aid!
[12:51] Naosuke
    Um, is it all right if I shake your hand?
[12:55] Naosuke
    Whoa!
SIGN    White Horse Merchandise
[13:02] Merchant
    That man. Could he be...?
[13:12] Naosuke
    Hajime-san, Koi-san,
    and Kakeru-san were so cool!
[13:16] Naosuke
    Real warriors sure are awesome.
[13:19] Yuma
    They sure are.
[13:20] Yuma
    They're wonderful people. Strong but kind.
[13:23] Naosuke
    I've made up my mind.
[13:24] Naosuke
    I'm definitely going to become a warrior!
[13:26] Naosuke
    What do you think, Yuma?
[13:28] Yuma
    I'm sure you'll succeed, Nao-sama.
[13:30] Naosuke
    Thanks, Yuma. I think so too.
[13:33] Naosuke
    Even if people laugh at me, I won't care.
[13:37] Naosuke
    I'll train harder than anyone.
[13:40] Yuma
    Your eyes look like that star, Nao-sama.
[13:43] Naosuke
    Huh?
[13:44] Yuma
    Forever sparkling.
[13:46] Yuma
    I think it's because
    you believe in yourself.
[13:50] Yuma
    I admire that.
[13:52] Naosuke
    Your eyes sparkle too, Yuma.
[13:55] Yuma
    Do they really?
[14:01] Takaaki
    Hey, Yuma.
[14:04] Takaaki
    Trouble sleeping?
[14:05] Yuma
    Takaaki-sama...
[14:07] Yuma
    Do you think it's all right if
    I stay with Nao-sama like this?
[14:12] Takaaki
    Why do you ask?
[14:14] Yuma
    I feel like there's something
    dark coiled around me.
[14:18] Yuma
    When I'm with people who are dear to me,
    I feel like I'm putting them in danger.
[14:23] Takaaki
    Hmm.
[14:24] Takaaki
    If you're having that much
    trouble believing in yourself,
[14:27] Takaaki
    shall I read the stars for you?
[14:28] Yuma
    No, I couldn't possibly
    ask you to do that for me.
[14:36] Takaaki
    Hmm. Could it be that Yuma is...
[14:40] Ouka
    Did you get the sign for Geppaku?
[14:42] Takaaki
    Oh. Had you already realized, Ouka?
[14:44] Ouka
    Yeah, I could smell it on him.
[14:47] Ouka
    Everything about that country is
    isolated, so I knew immediately.
[14:51] Takaaki
    Even among the twelve nations,
     it's powerful and has a long history.
[14:56] Takaaki
    A Geppaku connection, huh?
    That might be a problem.
[15:00] Takaaki
    What is to be done?
[15:03] Naosuke
    Father, Mother, please let me go to Shikkoku.
[15:06] Naosuke
    I want to become a warrior!
[15:09] Naosuke's Dad
    W-Wait a minute.
[15:10] Naosuke's Dad
    You're supposed to be our heir.
[15:13] Naosuke's Mom
    He's right. But you want to become
    a warrior instead of a dancer?
[15:16] Naosuke's Mom
    There's no need to go into
     such a dangerous profession.
[15:19] Naosuke
    Of course I love this family
    and respect you, Father.
[15:23] Naosuke
    But I want to follow my own path in life!
[15:26] Naosuke
    And Yuma will be with me.
[15:28] Naosuke
    Right, Yuma?
[15:31] Naosuke
    Yuma?
[15:31] Yuma
    Oh. Y-Yes.
[15:36] Naosuke
    Say... do you actually
    not want to go with me?
[15:39] Yuma
    No, that's not it.
[15:41] Yuma
    I just don't know if I'll be of any use.
[15:44] Naosuke
    Huh? Why?
[15:46] Naosuke
    You're gentle and sincere,
    and you have a strong sense of justice.
[15:49] Naosuke
    You even saved that kid from
    the runaway carriage before.
[15:52] Yuma
    My body just moved on its own.
[15:55] Naosuke
    That's what I mean!
[15:57] Naosuke
    My father and mother and the
    workers here always praise you.
[16:03] Yuma
    Do they really?
[16:05] Naosuke
    Yes, they do!
[16:06] Naosuke
    I like you a lot too. I respect you.
[16:10] Naosuke
    And I believe in your
    future more than anyone.
[16:13] Naosuke
    How can you be the only one
    who doesn't believe in you?
[16:17] Yuma
    Nao-sama...
[16:19] Naosuke
    So let's go together, Yuma!
[16:24] Naosuke's Dad
    I can't argue with that.
[16:26] Naosuke's Dad
    I grant my permission.
[16:27] Naosuke
    Do you mean it, Father?
[16:29] Naosuke
    Yes! I can go to Shikkoku!
[16:32] Naosuke's Dad
    Wait, wait, calm down!
[16:34] Naosuke's Dad
    First listen to what Lord Takaaki has to say.
[16:37] Naosuke
    Takaaki-san?
[16:38] Takaaki
    Yes, I have a suggestion to make.
[16:41] Takaaki
    If you want to become a
    warrior and fight for good,
[16:43] Takaaki
    don't you think you should become a little
    more accustomed to traveling first?
[16:47] Naosuke
    Huh?
[16:48] Takaaki
    Shikkoku is far away.
[16:50] Takaaki
    Instead of such distance,
[16:52] Takaaki
    why not venture to a slightly
    easier destination first?
[16:56] Yuma
    You must mean...
[16:57] Takaaki
    Botan.
SIGN    Kikyo
[16:59] Takaaki
    There's a ship that regularly sails there
    from here in Kikyo.
SIGN    Mushiki
[17:03] Takaaki
    Going by boat will make the
    journey much easier, too.
SIGN    Botan
[17:06] Takaaki
    Also, I have a document I'd like you
     to deliver to an acquaintance there.
SIGN    Onoda
[17:11] Naosuke
    Oh, is that right? In that case, I'll go.
[17:15] Naosuke
    I'm happy to deliver it for you.

    Well then, here it is.
SIGN    To Lord Shou Onoda
[17:23] Naosuke
    Okay! I'll make sure it gets there.

    Yuma, will you carry it?
[17:27] Yuma
    Yes.
[17:28] Naosuke's Mom
    Please take care of Naosuke for us, Yuma.
[17:31] Yuma
    I will protect him with my life.
[17:33] Takaaki
    You don't need to worry.
[17:35] Takaaki
    I will send two reliable
    bodyguards with them as well.
[17:38] Yuma & Naosuke
    Huh?
[17:39] Naosuke's Mom
    Bodyguards?
[17:42] Naosuke
    Oh! It's you guys!
[17:44] Yuma
    From before...
[17:45] Takaaki
    Issa-kun here is one of the very
    best astrologers in our country.
[17:49] Takaaki
    Futaba-kun is his brother.
[17:51] Takaaki
    They're both experienced travelers,
    so they should be very helpful.
[17:55] Issa
    Why am I stuck babysitting?
[17:58] Futaba
    Oh, come on now. Why not?
[17:59] Futaba
    They said they'll even
    put us up in a nice inn.
[18:02] Takaaki
    We're counting on you both.
[18:05] Naosuke & Yuma
    We're going!

    Father.
[18:14] Shumei
    Please don't strain yourself.
    Let me take care of everything.
[18:18] Ro
    You? Don't be stupid.
[18:22] Ro
    If only Shuei were still alive...
[18:25] Shumei
    You're always like this, Father!
[18:26] Shumei
    It's always Shuei this, Shuei that!
[18:28] Shumei
    My older brother is gone! Shuei is dead!
[18:35] Merchant
    Actually...
[18:37] Ro
    Are you certain of that?
[18:39] Underling
    Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.
[18:41] Underling
    He was the spitting image of Shuei-sama.
[18:43] Ro
    Oh! Could it be that Shuei's son survived?!
[18:47] Ro
    All right. Take whatever
    steps necessary to find him.
[18:53] Shumei
    Damn it!
[18:54] Shumei
    All this time I thought he was lying
    in a ditch somewhere, but he's alive?!
[18:59] Shumei
    Listen well. You'd better
    finish the job this time.
[19:02] Warlock
    Consider it done.
[19:04] Shumei
    This way, Father will have to give up and
    realize that I am his only successor.

[19:22] Yuma
    How does this look?
[19:24] Futaba
    Sure, that should make a good enough bed.
[19:26] Issa
    Dang it. Botan is just a little
    farther. Why are we camping?
[19:31] Naosuke
    Isn't camping great? Makes
    it feel like a real journey.
[19:34] Naosuke
    I made up my mind that when I
    travel, I'm going to camp out.
[19:38] Yuma
    Who goes there?!
[19:42] Yuma
    Oh.
[19:43] Naosuke
    Jeez, Yuma. You're too overprotective!
[19:45] Naosuke
    I'm not a child, you know?
[19:47] Yuma
    I-I'm sorry.
[19:48] Futaba
    Yuma-kun sure is a worrywart.
[20:02] Issa
    It isn't sake. It's tea.
[20:04] Yuma
    Oh, of course it is.
[20:06] Yuma
    Th-Then I don't mind if I do.
[20:11] Issa
    You drank it?
[20:12] Yuma
    Wh-What's this about?
[20:15] Issa
    My astrology technique uses tea leaves.
[20:17] Issa
    I read the leaves left on
    the bottom as if they're stars.
[20:21] Yuma
    Huh? Then my destiny...
[20:24] Issa
    Swallowing up a red star, I see...
[20:27] Issa
    a black shadow?
[20:30] Yuma
    That doesn't sound like a good omen.
[20:32] Issa
    It isn't necessarily determined yet.
[20:35] Issa
    At times, darkness can transform into light.
[20:38] Yuma
    A red star.
[20:40] Yuma
    That must mean...
[20:49] Yuma
    Please forgive me, Nao-sama.
[20:52] Yuma
    It seems I was born under a star that
    brings misfortune to those I care about.
[20:57] Yuma
    I must take my leave...

SIGN    Lucida • Part Two
[03:34] Shou
    What a handsome young man.
    He clearly isn't from the city.
[03:40] Naosuke
    Huh... What?
[03:43] Naosuke
    Yuma!
[03:44] Haruto
    Don't move.
[03:46] Haruto
    I mean, if you want to,
    I won't stop you, but it'll be painful.
[03:50] Haruto
    I mean, if you like pain, go right ahead.
[03:53] Naosuke
    Um...
[03:54] Shou
    He's right. You shouldn't overdo it.
[03:57] Shou
    Why don't you just relax
    and tell us what happened?
[04:00] Naosuke
    Uh, o-okay.
[04:03] Naosuke
    Um, where should I start?
[04:06] Shou
    Take your time.
[04:07] Haruto
    In that case, Shou,
    should I cancel your dinner plans?
[04:11] Shou
    Ah, that's right. Please do.
[04:13] Naosuke
    Shou...
[04:15] Naosuke
    Could you possibly be...
     Shou Onoda of House Botan?
[04:19] Haruto
    How do you know his name?
[04:21] Naosuke
    Wait, does that mean this is Botan?
[04:25] Naosuke
    What should I do? Yuma still has it...
[04:28] Naosuke
    Oh yeah! Where are the others?
[04:30] Shou
    My...
[04:31] Shou
    It seems you know who I am,
    but who might you be?
[04:35] Naosuke
    Um, thank you very much for saving me.
[04:38] Naosuke
    My name is Naosuke Oyama.
    I've come from Kikyo.
[04:43] Naosuke
    Takaaki-san asked me to
    deliver a document to you.
[04:46] Shou
    Takaaki?
[04:48] Shou
    Ah, Taka-chan the astrologist!
[04:51] All
    "Taka-chan"?
[04:52] Shou
    Is he well?
[04:53] Naosuke
    Yes!
[04:54] Reiji
    From Kikyo, huh?
[04:56] Reiji
    There's a district chairman
    there named Oyama...
[04:59] Gaku
    Hmm, so he isn't lying.
[05:02] Haruto
    Then where's the document?
[05:04] Naosuke
    Well... my companion
    and I got separated...
[05:10] Shou
    I see.
[05:12] Shou
    So this companion of yours,
    Yuma, has the document?
[05:15] Naosuke
    Yes! I must go look for
    him as soon as possible.
[05:19] Ruka
    You were attacked by assassins.
    No wonder you're so worried.
[05:23] Shou
    Don't worry. Finding people
    is our specialty. Right, guys?
[05:28] Haruto
    Yeah. Just leave it all to us patrolmen.
[05:32] Gaku; Reiji; Ruka
    Yeah.
[05:37] Yuma
    Where is Nao-sama? I hope he's all right.
[05:41] Issa
    Just calm down.
[05:43] Issa
    Where there's people, there's information.
[05:45] Issa
    Coming to town here is our best option.
[05:49] Futaba
    Considering the direction of the river,
    he probably washed up around here.
[05:53] Yuma
    I really hope so.
SIGN    Tenbaya
[05:54] Reiji
    Yo, welcome!
[05:56] Reiji
    Huh? You guys...
[05:59] Futaba
    Huh? Erm, can we help you...?
[06:01] Reiji
    A beautiful blond boy,
     a friendly-looking gentle giant,
[06:06] Reiji
    and a sinister, black-haired
     babe with a beauty mark!
[06:08] Issa
    Huh? You trying to pick a fight?
[06:11] Reiji
    Welcome to the famed pleasure
    district of the west, Botan!
SIGN    Tenbaya
[06:16] Reiji
    I'm sure we have what you're looking for!
[06:28] Haruto
    Shou. About that matter...
[06:31] Shou
    It sounds like they found your companion.
[06:33] Shou
    Isn't that great?
[06:34] Naosuke
    Huh? Already?!
[06:35] Naosuke
    Amazing. Thank you very m—
[06:38] Naosuke
    Ouch!
[06:38] Haruto
    There's no rush.
    Reiji-san is bringing him here now.
[06:44] Yuma
    Truly?! Is it really Nao-sama, though?
[06:47] Reiji
    Enough already. Come see him for yourself.
[06:51] Futaba
    Please excuse him.
    The boy is devoted to his master.
[06:54] Reiji
    Oh yeah, I heard you were
     attacked by assassins.
[06:57] Reiji
    Were you able to catch them?
[06:59] Futaba
    Well, in the confusion after
    Nao-kun fell in the river...
[07:03] Issa
    They got away.
[07:06] Reiji
    If that's the case, there's a good chance
    they've made their way to the city too.
[07:11] Issa
    Yeah, very unfortunately.
[07:14] Reiji
    Watch your backs.
     This place attracts all kinds.
[07:17] Reiji
    They'll let anyone in here.
[07:20] Yuma
    Huh?
[07:21] Yuma
    I'm worried about Nao-sama. Let's hurry!
[07:23] Reiji
    Fine, fine. Want to take a shortcut, then?
[07:31] Reiji
    Oh, man. Looks like I spoke too soon.
[07:37] Issa
    Of course they're after...
[07:38] Futaba
    Yuma-kun, right?
[07:44] Issa
    Damn it. Don't you ever give up?
[07:46] Futaba
    I won't go easy on you!
[07:50] Reiji
    Watch the face, pal!
[07:52] Yuma
    Th-This is bad.
[07:56] Reiji
    You said it.
[08:00] Naosuke
    Thank you for this, um...
[08:03] Ayumu
    It's Ayumu.
[08:04] Ayumu
    It's always important to look your
    best when you meet someone dear.
[08:08] Ayumu
    There. That's better.
[08:12] Ayumu
    Rock?
[08:19] Issa
    Before we get surrounded, take Yuma and run!
[08:22] Futaba
    Okay.
[08:26] Naosuke
    Yuma!
[08:28] Yuma
    Nao-sama!
[08:29] Warlock
    You again?
[08:31] Warlock
    Get out of my way.
[08:34] Yuma
    Nao-sama!
[08:38] Yuma
    Nao-sama!
[08:43] Yuma
    Nao-sama, are you all right?
[08:45] Naosuke
    Yuma...
[08:46] Naosuke
    Yeah, I'm okay.
[08:52] Reiji
    Oh, whoops.
[08:53] Reiji
    Ayumu? You... What are you doing here?
[08:58] Ruka
    Time for Ruka-sama's glorious entrance!
[09:00] Ruka
    Sorry for the wait!
[09:02] Haruto
    Followed by Haruto-kun!
[09:06] Gaku
    Hey, you left us patrolmen out of it,
     and now look at the mess you made.
[09:12] Warlock
    Damn it... We'll have to retreat.
[09:15] Shou
    Oh yeah? Where to?
[09:16] Warlock
    Who are you?!
[09:17] Shou
    You're not going anywhere.
[09:20] Shou
    Good work, everyone!
[09:22] Naosuke
    Yuma!
[09:23] Yuma
    Nao-sama!
[09:40] Naosuke
    Wow, amazing!
[09:42] Yuma
    Ayumu-san looks beautiful.
[09:52] Shou
    Now I understand.
[09:57] Shou
    Yuma, this document contains
    information about your past.
[10:03] Shou
    He read it in the stars.
[10:05] Yuma
    Takaaki-sama did? He read my stars?
[10:09] Shou
    Shall I read it to you?
[10:10] Yuma
    Please let me think about it first.
[10:13] Shou
    All right. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
[10:18] Yuma
    A long time ago, I lived out of a wagon
    with a troupe of traveling actors.
[10:24] Naosuke
    Huh?
[10:25] Yuma
    My father and mother died in an epidemic
    when I was young, and the troupe took me in.
[10:32] Yuma
    They were all such
    good people. Life was a joy.
[10:36] Yuma
    Until that day...
[10:41] (Flashback) Assassin
    Find the blond brat!
[10:46] (Flashback) Assassin
    There you are.
[10:51] (Flashback) Assassin
    You brat!
[10:56] (Flashback) Assassin
    End of the line!
[11:00] (Flashback) Warrior
    Don't worry. You're safe now.
[11:08] (Flashback) Yuma (kid)
    I survived!
[11:10] (Flashback) Yuma (kid)
    But if I stay, everyone will...
[11:15] Yuma
    You found and rescued me
    right after that happened.
[11:21] Naosuke
    They've been after you for that long?
[11:24] Naosuke
    That must have been terrible, Yuma.
[11:28] Yuma
    Nao-sama...
[11:29] Yuma
    But now I'm afraid to learn the truth.
[11:33] Yuma
    There's a chance I'll find out that
    I'm not fit to be by your side.
[11:38] Naosuke
    That'll never happen!
[11:40] Yuma
    But... Issa-san's reading
    said that I bring misfortune.
[11:43] Naosuke
    Astrology isn't infallible!
[11:45] Naosuke
    No matter where you're from,
     you're still you!
[11:48] Naosuke
    You're my best friend and brother!
[11:51] Naosuke
    I've stood by you,
    Yuma Shirase, all this time.
[11:55] Naosuke
    I promise I'll never abandon you,
    no matter what it says!
[12:01] Yuma
    Nao-sama... Thank you so much.
[12:08] Shou
    Hey. Did you sleep well last night?
[12:11] Yuma
    Yes. I think I'm ready now.
[12:15] Shou
    Then I'll tell you.
[12:16] Shou
    When Takaaki read your stars,
[12:19] Shou
    he saw an image of a flower
    with a horse that was white.
[12:22] Yuma
    A flower and horse that's white?
[12:26] Naosuke
    Yuma, could that be...
[12:29] Yuma
    A horse and a flower...
    White Horse Merchandise?
[12:32] Ruka
    Like, the famous White Horse clan?
[12:34] Reiji
    The White Horse clan of Geppaku, eh?
[12:36] Reiji
    Originally, they were peddlers who
    traveled from country to country.
[12:40] Ayumu
    Right. But now they're a distinguished house
[12:43] Ayumu
    with a mansion in the capital of Geppaku.
[12:46] Yuma
    But what connection could I possibly
    have to White Horse Merchandise?
[12:52] Naosuke
    Now that I think about it,
[12:54] Naosuke
    could this have something
    to do with what happened before?
[12:57] Shou
    What happened before?
[12:58] Yuma
    Yes. Actually...
[13:01] Shou
    I see. Back in Kikyo...
[13:04] Shou
    That might be when they
     realized who you are, Yuma.
[13:08] Yuma
    Huh?
[13:09] Haruto
    Botan gets information
    from all around the continent.
[13:14] Haruto
    In truth, we heard long ago
    that the elder of the White Horse clan,
[13:18] Haruto
    Ro Hakuba, was searching
    for his long-lost grandson.
[13:21] Naosuke
    Huh? Do you mean his grandson is...
[13:24] Shou
    Yes. It's probably Yuma.
[13:26] Yuma
    Me? But how could I be?
[13:28] Shou
    We have one other reason to think so.
[13:31] Shou
    We made the assassins talk,
    and they told us something crucial—
[13:36] Shou
    who's behind these attempts on your life.
[13:38] Yuma
    What? Who is it?
[13:41] Shou
    Shumei Hakuba, your father's younger brother.
[13:45] Yuma
    My father's brother? Then...
[13:48] Shou
    That would make him your uncle.
[13:52] Shou
    It seems he was able to identify you
    and sent the assassins after you.
[13:57] Shou
    Your injured eye was the proof they needed.
[14:00] Yuma
    My injured eye?
[14:02] Yuma
    Don't tell me they're
    who attacked me back then...
[14:06] Reiji
    So we've got a blood feud on our hands.
[14:09] Reiji
    He must be after the
    White Horse clan's fortune.
[14:12] Yuma
    That's it? It was all for that?
[14:16] Yuma
    And not only me... They went after
    the people around me, too.
[14:20] Yuma
    How could they?
[14:22] Shou
    So, Yuma, what are you going to do now?
[14:26] Yuma
    I want to face my uncle and ask him directly.
[14:30] Yuma
    I need to know the truth.
[14:32] Yuma
    If I don't, then I'll never
     be able to move on.
[14:36] Shou
    Very well. But first,
    I have one thing to ask.
[14:40] Shou
    Are you prepared to take center stage?
[14:45] Yuma
    Nao-sama.
[14:47] Yuma
    All right. I'll take the stage.
[14:51] Shou
    Good.
[14:52] Shou
    In that case, let's go all out.
[14:54] Shou
    For the honor of Botan, Flower of the West,
[14:56] Shou
    we'll prepare a once-in-a-lifetime
    production that shall not be forgotten!
[15:00] Yuma
    A once-in-a-lifetime production?
[15:03] Shou
    Don't worry. Just leave everything to us.
[15:06] Shou
    Haruto, would you run an errand for me?
[15:09] Haruto
    Yes, sir!
[15:55] Shumei
    Why did Father suddenly
    decide to come to Botan?
[15:58] Shumei
    Does he know something?
    No, there's no way he has proof...
[16:05] Ruka
    Hello, everyone! May I have your attention?
[16:07] Ruka
    Thanks for waiting!
[16:08] Ruka
    The main event of this year's
    Botan Festival is about to begin!
[16:12] Yuma
    Y-You didn't say anything about an audience!
[16:16] Shou
    Oh, dear. The audience is
    what makes it all work.
[16:19] Shou
    If people are watching, your enemy
    can't make any reckless moves.
[16:23] Yuma
    But turning it into a
    festival performance...
[16:26] Yuma
    Is this really okay?
[16:27] Reiji
    Sure it is.
[16:29] Reiji
    Botan is a city of fun and entertainment,
[16:32] Reiji
    where everything gets turned
    into an attraction or a show.
[16:36] Reiji
    Everyone here is used to it.
[16:38] Ayumu
    I know how you feel, but that's
    just how things are here.
[16:41] Yuma
    What...?
[16:43] Naosuke
    Yuma, break a leg!
[16:45] Yuma
    Nao-sama...
[16:46] Yuma
    A-All right. Here I go!
[16:51] Ruka
    Our first guest of the
    evening is this gentleman!
[16:55] Yuma
    I'm Yuma Shirase.
[16:57] Yuma
    I'm here today to meet my grandfather.
[17:01] Ruka
    Yuma-kun here is the long-lost
    grandson of Ro Hakuba,
[17:04] Ruka
    the head of the one and only
    White Horse Merchandise!
[17:08] Ruka
    After years apart,
    they'll finally be reunited!
[17:11] Ruka
    But first, allow me to
    introduce a surprise guest!
[17:15] Shumei
    Huh? What?
[17:17] Ruka
    Hello there, Yuma-kun's uncle!
[17:20] Ruka
    How does it feel to see your
    long-lost nephew again?
[17:23] Yuma
    You are my uncle, aren't you?
[17:27] Shumei
    Oh! Yes, I am!
[17:29] Shumei
    I wanted to see you, my darling nephew!
[17:32] Audience member
    What corny acting!
[17:34] Audience member
    Get off the stage, stooge!
[17:35] Shumei
    Why, how dare you?!
[17:38] Yuma
    I wanted to see you again too.
[17:42] Yuma
    Please tell me this.
[17:43] Yuma
    Are you truly the one who has,
    time and again, tried to take my life?
[17:48] Shumei
    Wh-What? That's ridiculous!
[17:50] Shumei
    Wh-Where's your proof? Show me the proof!
[17:56] Haruto
    Here's the proof you ordered!
[18:00] Shumei
    Th-They can't have... Oh no!
[18:03] Yuma
    How could you?
[18:06] Shumei
    Shut up, shut up!
[18:08] Shumei
    Everyone's always making a mockery of me!
[18:11] Shumei
    "Your brother is better!"
    "Be more like your brother!"
[18:13] Shumei
    I was always compared to him!
[18:16] Shumei
    And then one day he ran off with
    some floozy of a traveling actress!
[18:20] Shumei
    The world should have been my oyster,
[18:23] Shumei
    but Father kept going on
    about "Shuei this, Shuei that!"
[18:26] Shumei
    This was supposed to be my time!
[18:28] Yuma
    You poor, pathetic man.
[18:31] Yuma
    You were blessed with so much in life,
     but instead of being grateful,
[18:35] Yuma
    instead of being the best person you can,
[18:38] Yuma
    you do nothing but whine like a child,
     "Give me this! Give me that!"
[18:42] Shumei
    Why, you dirty little brat!
[18:44] Ro
    Imbecile!
[18:46] Shumei
    F-Father?!
[18:48] Ro
    What have you gone and done?
[18:51] Shumei
    N-No, wait! I haven't done anything.
[18:53] Shumei
    I was set up!
[18:55] Ro
    It's too late for that. You're a disgrace!
[19:06] Yuma
    Are you... my grandfather?
[19:09] Ro
    And you must be Yuma.
    You look just like your father, Shuei.
[19:13] Ro
    I'm relieved that you survived.
[19:16] Ro
    Yuma, I can't apologize enough about Shumei.
[19:20] Ro
    Please forgive me.
[19:21] Yuma
    Please! You don't need to bow to me!
[19:24] Ro
    It's partly my fault that
    he turned out this way.
[19:28] Ro
    Back then, if I had allowed your
    father and mother to marry,
[19:34] Ro
    this probably never would
    have happened to you.
[19:38] Yuma
    Grandfather, I have never
    been unfortunate in life.
[19:43] Yuma
    My father, mother, and the actors
    in the troupe were all kind to me.
[19:47] Yuma
    I did lose everything once,
[19:50] Yuma
    but thanks to that, I met Nao-sama and
    the wonderful people of the Oyama clan.
[19:54] Naosuke
    It's true! Yuma's like a brother to me.
[19:57] Naosuke
    My parents even treat him like a son.
[19:59] Ro
    Oh, how can I ever thank you and
    the Oyama family enough, young man?
[20:04] Naosuke
    You needn't! Yuma has
     always been a great help.
[20:08] Naosuke
    Truly, he's a brother and best friend to me.
[20:10] Ro
    Is that right?
[20:12] Ro
    However, as his grandfather, I wish
    he would let me look after him too.
[20:17] Ro
    I want to make up for everything
    I couldn't do for him in the past.
[20:22] Yuma
    Actually, about that...
[20:24] Yuma
    Um, am I really supposed to
    become the head of the family?
[20:28] Ro
    What?
[20:29] Yuma
    I'm still very inexperienced.
[20:32] Yuma
    I know nothing about the world.
[20:34] Yuma
    I don't even know what I want to do in life.
[20:38] Yuma
    That's why, well...
[20:41] Yuma
    In order to broaden my horizons,
    I want to travel the continent.
[20:44] Yuma
    Together. With Nao.
[20:48] Yuma
    And during my travels,
    I'll think carefully about my future.
[20:54] Ro
    Very well. Yes.
[20:56] Ro
    It is good to broaden one's horizons.
[20:59] Yuma
    But I will return someday, Grandfather.
[21:09] Naosuke
    Okay, let's go on a journey!
[21:12] Yuma
    Botan sure was an interesting country.
[21:15] Yuma
    I'm even more excited to see
    the rest of the world now.
[21:18] Yuma
    But I never thought you
    guys would be joining us.
[21:22] Takaaki
    Well, I wanted to show
    Ouka-chan the outside world.
[21:25] Ouka
    You just wanted to skip work.
[21:28] Ouka
    It was perfect timing, so I went ahead
[21:30] Ouka
    and accepted a diplomatic job for you.
[21:32] Takaaki
    Huh?! Ouka-san, why do you
    have to be so darn virtuous?
[21:37] Issa
    Tough luck! Gotta work, work, work.
[21:39] Issa
    But Takaaki, this time we get
    good food and lodging, right?
[21:45] Futaba
    I kind of doubt that.
[21:46] Issa
    Huh? Again, seriously?
[21:48] Issa
    I'm so sick of camping.
[21:50] Naosuke
    All right, where should we go first?
[21:53] Yuma
    I'll go anywhere,
    as long as it's with you, Nao!
[22:08] [SONG] ---
    The raindrops, tap-tapping on an umbrella,

    Around the next corner I can't hear or see,
[22:27] [SONG] ---

    The way is always dark without you,

    If you let the sadness catch up,
[22:56] [SONG] ---
    tears keep chasing you forever
[23:00] [SONG] ---
    But I will wipe them all away,
    wait for a brighter day,
[23:04] [SONG] ---
    and keep walking with you together
[23:07] [SONG] ---
    All the hopes you're bearing seed the

[02:49] Ruka
    I'm Ruka Nadumi.
[02:50] Gaku
    And I'm Gaku Oguro.
[02:51] Ruka
    The curtain is about to open on the
    Botan chapter of Tsukihana Kagura!
[02:55] Gaku
    We're reprising our roles
    as members of the Botan crew
[02:57] Gaku
    that was introduced in the Kikyo chapter.
[03:00] Gaku
    This one is about our backgrounds
    and how we first met.
[03:04] Ruka
    You'll learn how that happened and what
     went down before we became sworn brothers.
[03:08] Ruka
    You'll want to see it with your own eyes!
[03:11] Ruka
    Especially because Gaku-kun
    and I are starring in it!
[03:14] Ruka
    The show is full of dance scenes and
    lives up to the Tsukihana Kagura name.
[03:18] Ruka
    We know you're going to love it!
[03:20] Gaku
    It's a big responsibility
    to be the stars this time.
[03:24] Gaku
    Honestly, I'm a little nervous,
[03:26] Gaku
    but with Ru and everyone's help, I'll do
    my best to bring you all a wonderful show.
[03:32] Ruka
    And I'll do my best to surprise you

    Wow! Gaku and Ruka are costarring?!
[03:47] Eita
    There's no way I'd miss our old pals' show!
[03:50] Yuya
    It sounds like they're here. The door's open!
[03:54] Gaku
    Hi, guys!
[03:55] Ruka
    It's been so long, Yuya-kun, Eita-kun!
[03:58] Eita
    Hey, guys!
[03:59] Yuya
    Come on in! Don't be strangers.
[04:02] Yuya
    Not that I think you would.
[04:04] Ruka
    Yeah, already got my shoes off.
[04:05] Gaku
    Thanks for having us!
[04:07] Ruka
    Here's the book I borrowed, Eita-kun.
[04:09] Ruka
    Just like you said, it was really good!
[04:12] Eita
    I know, right?
[04:13] Eita
    Here. This is the spin-off.
[04:15] Ruka
    Thanks!
[04:16] Gaku
    Say, you sure keep this place clean.
[04:18] Yuya
    I finally put everything away after moving.
[04:21] Ruka
    So this is your new pad, Yuya-kun?
[04:24] Ruka
    It's my first time here,
    but it feels so familiar!
[04:27] Gaku
    Yeah, I remember the layout.
[04:31] Eita
    I thought the same thing.
[04:32] Eita
    I never imagined any of us would
    return to this apartment complex.
[04:38] Yuya
    When I was apartment hunting, the guy said,
    "I know a place that has everything you want."
[04:43] Yuya
    And this was it! I said yes on the spot.
[04:45] Ruka
    You made the right choice!
[04:48] Ruka
    I'm so happy the four of us
    can party where we first met.
[04:54] Gaku
    We'll be up all night talking about old times!
[04:56] Yuya
    I know! So I wanted to invite you
    over before the place got messy.
[05:00] Eita
    You're planning to make a mess?
[05:02] Gaku
    Okay, I'll get the food going so
    we can hurry up and make a toast.
[05:06] Eita
    Ooh! Izakaya Gaku-kun, open for business!
[05:09] Yuya
    I've been waiting for this!
[05:10] Yuya
    My kitchen will be happy to be used for once.
[05:13] Gaku
    Before I get started, any requests?
[05:15] Yuya
    Hamburg steak!
[05:16] Ruka & Eita
    Croquettes!
[05:17] Gaku
    Got it. The usual it is.
[05:23] Yuya
    All right. In honor of us
    old pals hanging out again!
[05:28] Ruka
    To everlasting friendship!
[05:30] Gaku; Ruka; Yuya; Eita
    Cheers!
[05:38] Eita
    Man, it really has been too long.
[05:40] Eita
    We last met up a year ago, right?
[05:42] Gaku
    Yeah. The timing didn't work
    out for a New Year's party,
[05:46] Gaku
    and then Yuya was busy getting ready to move.
[05:49] Ruka
    Before that, we were doing
    this, like, every month.
[05:52] Yuya
    With you two in ROCK DOWN,
    of course it's hard to find time.
[05:56] Yuya
    You're killing it. You're super popular!
[05:59] Ruka
    Thanks, man! They sure do keep us busy.
[06:01] Gaku
    Not to brag, but I feel pretty lucky.
[06:05] Gaku
    And we've got VAZZROCK Live coming up,
     so we're about as busy as it gets now.
[06:10] Eita
    You've hit real stardom.
[06:12] Yuya
    Yeah. It's insane!
[06:14] Yuya
    For you, Ruka, it's like your
    childhood dream came true.
[06:18] Eita
    Ah, that's right! A super something hero?
[06:22] Ruka
    A super cool hero!
[06:24] Eita
    Yeah, yeah, that was it!
[06:25] Gaku
    You said you'd transform into a
    really strong magician and cook!
[06:31] Ruka
    I later added Olympic athlete
    and pro fisherman too!
[06:36] Eita
    That's way too much!
[06:38] Yuya
    It was such a wild dream,
[06:40] Yuya
    but then you became a 2.5D actor and
    really made it all happen on stage.
[06:44] Yuya
    I guess that's one way to do it!
[06:47] Ruka
    And it's all so fun.
[06:49] Ruka
    The 2.5D productions let you try
    out all sorts of characters.
[06:53] Ruka
    Nothing beats it!
[06:54] Eita
    So you scored the ideal job, huh?
[06:56] Yuya
    Yeah, he totally earned it.
[07:00] Yuya
    But I never thought Gaku
    would make it this far too.
[07:04] Gaku
    Huh?
[07:05] Eita
    Me either. I mean, remember your debut?
[07:08] Gaku
    Yeah.
[07:09] Yuya
    You asked Ruka to take you on set
    so you could try acting as an extra,
[07:13] Yuya
    but then he begged the director
    and got you a spot as a regular.
[07:19] Ruka
    That shoot was so much fun!
[07:22] (Flashback) Ruka
    Director, didn't you say you
    wanted to give the scene impact?
[07:26] (Flashback) Ruka
    Why don't you just give him a chance?
[07:29] (Flashback) Ruka
    I mean, I totally vouch for him!
[07:31] (Flashback) Director
    But he doesn't have any experience, does he?
[07:37] (Flashback) Ruka
    Gaku-kun! He said okay!
[07:39] (Flashback) Gaku
    I just wanted to try something different.
[07:42] (Flashback) Gaku
    You didn't need to beg him to put me in.
[07:46] (Flashback) Ruka
    No, no, no!
[07:48] (Flashback) Ruka
    I want to act together with you, Gaku-kun!
[07:51] (Flashback) Ruka
    So, about the role...
[07:53] (Flashback) Gaku
    Yeah. You get into a brawl, right?
[07:56] (Flashback) Gaku
    When the lead hoodlums start fighting,
    I run into the school building.
[08:01] (Flashback) Gaku
    How fast should I run?
[08:04] (Flashback) Ruka
    Oh, scrap that.
[08:05] (Flashback) Gaku
    Huh?
[08:06] (Flashback) Ruka
    Forget all about it. Change of plans.
[08:09] (Flashback) Gaku
    Forget it? What do you mean?
[08:12] (Flashback) Ruka
    You and me are gonna fight!
[08:15] (Flashback) Gaku
    You mean I'm part of the brawl now?
[08:17] (Flashback) Ruka
    Bingo! I knew you'd catch on, Gaku-kun.
[08:20] (Flashback) Ruka
    You and I play students from rival schools.
[08:25] (Flashback) Ruka
    We'll be right behind the
    leads during the fight.
[08:28] (Flashback) Ruka
    Like, right over there.
[08:29] (Flashback) Ruka
    So now we just have to keep
    brawling until he yells "cut."
[08:36] (Flashback) Gaku
    Dude, was this your plan all along?
[08:38] (Flashback) Ruka
    You could tell?
[08:40] (Flashback) Gaku
    I was wondering why I got a different
    costume than the other extras.
[08:45] (Flashback) Ruka
    And you look great in it!
[08:48] (Flashback) Ruka
    Ow!
[08:50] (Flashback) Ruka
    Gaku-kun, don't flick me so hard!
[08:52] (Flashback) Gaku
    I was holding back.
[08:54] (Flashback) Gaku
    A hoodlum, huh? Jeez...
[08:56] (Flashback) Gaku
    If I do this, I'm gonna do it right.
[08:59] (Flashback) Gaku
    You'd better not wimp out, Ru.
[09:02] (Flashback) Gaku
    Give it all you got.
[09:03] (Flashback) Ruka
    Okay!
[09:06] Ruka
    And voila! We nailed it on the first take!
[09:11] Yuya
    Every time I hear that story,
    it sounds like a manga.
[09:13] Eita
    I remember thinking,
    "Man, Gaku's such a good actor!"
[09:16] Eita
    But knowing how it all went down,
    I never expected he'd go this far.
[09:22] Gaku
    I didn't either.
    But I still find ways to keep it fun.
[09:25] Gaku
    It's actually very satisfying work.
[09:27] Yuya
    And you've made it to where you can say that.
[09:30] Yuya
    That's just like you, Gaku.
[09:32] Gaku
    You think so?
[09:33] Yuya
    For sure. You've always been
    kind of special, Gaku.
[09:38] Yuya
    You have a strong personality,
    but you never swim against the current.
[09:41] Yuya
    Or, I mean, you're willing to go with the flow.
[09:43] Ruka & Eita
    Yeah, yeah.
[09:45] Yuya
    But then, wherever you wash up,
    you make it your own, you know?
[09:50] Eita
    Oh, totally.
[09:51] Eita
    And after doing that over and over, he's
     gained all kinds of skills and experiences.
[09:56] Yuya
    Yeah, that's what I mean!
    He's a real talented guy.
[10:00] Gaku
    Hmm...
[10:02] Ruka
    I hear you!
[10:03] Ruka
    Even with tons of people around,
    Gaku-kun's always like,
[10:06] Ruka
    "Here's what's up." He always figures it out.
[10:09] Ruka
    He shines a special light on things, I guess.
[10:13] Ruka
    But it's always just the right light.
[10:16] Ruka
    He doesn't try to blind anyone else.
[10:19] Ruka
    Not a lot of people can pull that off.
[10:21] Gaku
    I don't really get what you mean.
[10:24] Yuya
    Well, you made it this far without noticing.
[10:27] Eita
    Still broadening your horizons, too.
[10:29] Eita
    First TV shows, then movies,
    then music with ROCK DOWN, and all that.
[10:33] Eita
    And now you're the star of a play!
[10:36] Yuya
    Yeah, that's right! You're both
    costarring this time, right?
[10:40] Gaku
    Yeah.
[10:41] Ruka
    It's so cool that you knew!
[10:42] Ruka
    We'll introduce you to everyone,
    so come see it!
[10:45] Yuya
    Yeah, I'll totally go!
[10:46] Eita
    Me too! I can't wait to see you as rivals!
[10:50] Ruka
    Huh?
[10:51] Yuya
    Idiot! Costarring doesn't mean they're rivals.
[10:54] Yuya
    It means they're both lead actors.
[10:55] Eita
    But doesn't that make them rivals?
[10:58] Eita
    Like, fighting over who's the best lead.
[11:00] Yuya
    Oh.
[11:01] Ruka
    Rivals?
[11:03] Ruka
    Huh... I guess you could think
    about costarring that way.
[11:08] Yuya
    How's it feel to be Ruka's rival or whatever?
[11:11] Gaku
    What are you talking about?
    I don't see it like that.
[11:14] Ruka
    Huh?
[11:15] Gaku
    Anyway, I just gotta do the best
    I can to try and keep up with Ru.
[11:20] Yuya
    Yeah, I get that. He's got
     more stage experience, after all.
[11:24] Ruka
    Th-That doesn't mean anything.
[11:27] Ruka
    Don't worry about keeping up.
    Just shine like you always do, Gaku-kun!
[11:32] Gaku
    Okay, sure.
[11:52] Actor 1
    Outta my way!
[11:54] Ruka
    I don't think so.
[11:55] Ruka
    If you want to fight, you'll
    have to go through me first!
[12:00] Actor 1
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[12:02] Ruka
    Had enough yet?
[12:04] Ruka
    I'll take on anyone in Botan
     who wants to fight!
[12:09] Actor 3
    Man, he sure can move fast.
[12:11] Director
    You're next, youngsters. Get ready!
[12:14] Gaku; Actor 2; Actor 3
    Okay!
[12:17] Gaku
    You're putting me in a real tough spot here.
[12:20] Actor 2
    Shut up!
[12:35] Gaku
    Hyah!
[12:46] Director
    Stop!
[12:49] Actor 1
    What a cool finish with a high kick!
[12:52] Ruka
    Wow...
[13:03] Ruka
    I still can't do it like Gaku-kun.
[13:06] Ruka
    If only I was built more like him,
[13:09] Ruka
    I'd look good for the camera
    and could do more stuff.
[13:12] Ruka
    I wish.
[13:14] Gaku
    Good work, Ru!
[13:17] Ruka
    Oh, right back at you.
[13:19] Ruka
    I was watching earlier.
[13:20] Ruka
    Your stage fighting really
    is awesome, Gaku-kun.
[13:23] Gaku
    Yeah?
[13:24] Ruka
    Yeah! I don't have nearly that much power.
[13:28] Ruka
    I'm jealous, but you're so cool!
[13:30] Ruka
    You showed me that I gotta work at it more.
[13:33] Gaku
    I think your fighting's already solid, Ru.
[13:36] Gaku
    You looked great!
[13:40] Ruka
    Gaku-kun, you always just compliment me.
[13:45] Gaku
    Huh?
[13:49] Ruka
    Ah, sorry. That didn't come out right.
[13:52] Gaku
    Oh, that's okay.
    Did I do something wrong?
[13:56] Ruka
    Nah, you're just being yourself.
[13:59] Ruka
    It only just hit me that this

[14:20] Gaku
    What do you feel like?
[14:21] Ruka
    Uh, I think I'll pass tonight.
[14:24] Gaku
    Huh?
[14:26] Ruka
    I love your cooking, Gaku-kun,
    but I kinda feel like eating alone tonight.
[14:31] Gaku
    I-Is that so?
[14:33] Ruka
    Sorry! Thanks for the invite.
[14:35] Ruka
    I'll catch you later.
[14:37] Gaku
    Yeah, see you later.
[14:38] Ruka
    H-Hey, how's it going?
[14:40] Shou
    Good to see you too, Ruka.
[14:41] Haruto
    Catch you later.
[14:44] Shou
    Welcome home, Gaku.
[14:45] Gaku
    Thanks.
[14:46] Shou
    We caught the end of that.
    Did something happen?
[14:53] Haruto
    It's unusual for Ruka-san
    to turn you down like that.
[14:57] Gaku
    Yeah, you're telling me.
[15:02] Haruto
    Are you fighting?
[15:03] Gaku
    Er, we aren't fighting, but things
    are a little awkward right now.
[15:11] Gaku
    Have you guys had dinner?
[15:12] Gaku
    If you want, I'll make something. Hungry?
[15:15] Shou & Haruto
    Yes, thank you, sir!
[15:17] Gaku
    Well, that was quick.
[15:26] (Flashback) Gaku
    What are you talking about?
    I don't see it like that.
[15:30] (Flashback) Gaku
    I think your fighting's already solid, Ru.
[15:33] (Flashback) Gaku
    You looked great!
[15:37] Ruka
    Gaku-kun's always gonna be the
    coolest rival I have nearby.
[15:44] Ruka
    But he never really wants to face off.
[15:47] Ruka
    Or is he trying to dodge me?
[15:49] Ruka
    Why can't he at least notice how I feel?
[15:57] Ruka
    Yes, who is it?
[15:59] Ruka
    Ruka-kun is preoccupied with some
    well-deserved gloom at the moment.
[16:03] Ruka
    Oh!
[16:06] Ruka
    Hello, Eita-kun? Long time no cheers!
[16:08] Eita
    Long time no cheers. Can you talk?
[16:11] Ruka
    Yeah, I'm free.
[16:13] Ruka
    I was just chilling in my room.
[16:15] Eita
    Oh, good.
[16:17] Eita
    So, hey, you know the book
    I lent you when we were drinking?
[16:20] Ruka
    Yeah. I'm not far into it
    yet, but I did start it.
[16:23] Eita
    Was there a picture stuck inside?
[16:25] Ruka
    Oh? I'm not sure. Just a sec.
[16:33] Ruka
    Hey, I found one. Oops.

[16:47] Eita
    I was looking at it while reading,

[16:51] Ruka
    But what's it doing in your book?
[16:53] Ruka
    You're not even in the picture, Eita-kun.
[16:56] Eita
    Hmm, I have no clue.
[16:59] Eita
    A while ago, I was searching through
    childhood photos to use for a profile pic.
[17:04] Eita
    Must've happened then.
[17:05] Ruka
    That's gotta be it.
[17:08] Ruka
    But this sure takes me back.
[17:10] Ruka
    Gaku-kun and Yuya-kun were a year behind,
[17:14] Ruka
    but we got to compete together
    because we were all in class 3.
[17:17] Eita
    I remember when you and Gaku got
    picked for the class relay race.
[17:21] Ruka
    Uh-huh, that's right!
[17:23] Vazzcats
    Meow!
[17:29] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    I think Gaku-kun should be the anchor.
[17:32] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)
    Huh? Not you, Ru?
[17:34] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Yeah. I'll run second to last.
[17:37] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    The leg before the anchor
    is gonna be a crazy close race,
[17:41] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    but I'll shake them off and get ahead.
[17:44] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    And you're about as fast as me, so if I
    pass to you, I know we'll take first place!
[17:51] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)
    So that's the plan.
[17:53] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Yeah. What do you think?
[17:55] (Flashback) 1st-4th graders
    Let's do it!
[17:56] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Then it's settled.
[17:58] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Be sure to win at the end, Gaku-kun!
[18:00] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)
    All right. I'll finish first
    with the baton you give me!
[18:04] (Flashback) Kids in background
    Go for it!
[18:06] (Flashback) Kids in background
    Hurry up!
[18:07] (Flashback) Kids in background
    Run!
[18:08] (Flashback) 2nd grader
    Ruka-kun's so fast!
[18:09] (Flashback) 2nd grader
    Go!
[18:20] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Damn it!
[18:32] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)

[18:34] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Gaku-kun!
[18:41] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)

    They're in the last corner!
[18:52] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)
    Go for it, Gaku-kun!
[19:05] Ruka
    At the time, Gaku-kun and everyone praised
    me for catching up and not giving up,
[19:12] Ruka
    but I thought Gaku-kun was the awesome one.
[19:18] Eita
    Huh.
[19:19] Ruka
    I was sprinting hard,
    but he matched me for the pass.
[19:23] Ruka
    You could see how determined he
    was to win in that last stretch!
[19:27] Eita
    Yeah.
[19:28] Ruka
    Most of all, when I passed him
    the baton, I was so relieved!
SIGN    Nadumi

[19:34] Ruka
    Whenever Gaku-kun says he'll do
    something, he makes it happen!
[19:38] Eita
    For sure.
[19:40] Ruka
    I wonder where he gets that power from.
[19:44] Ruka
    I've got my dreams, but Gaku-kun has...
[19:48] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)
    I wanna watch you become a superhero
    so I can say you're awesome!
[19:53] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)
    All right. I'll finish first
    with the baton you give me!
[19:58] (Flashback) Gaku

    The reason Gaku-kun is so awesome!
[20:12] Eita
    Huh?
[20:14] Ruka
    I mean... it's me!
[20:16] Eita
    Huh?
[20:17] Ruka
    It's me. Or, I mean, the time we're together.
[20:20] Ruka
    That's what Gaku-kun is focused on.
[20:22] Ruka
    I put all my energy into flying
    straight toward my dreams,
[20:27] Ruka
    and Gaku-kun puts that same kind
    of energy into the current moment.
[20:30] Eita
    Ah, so that's what you meant.
[20:33] Eita
    Gaku really does shine when he's with you.
[20:36] Ruka
    Right?
[20:38] Ruka
    Maybe it was fate that brought us together,
[20:41] Ruka
    but Gaku lives for the now,
    and I live for the future!
[20:44] Ruka
    We look at different things,
    but we're facing the same way!
[20:48] Ruka
    Because the future always
    follows the present.
[20:51] Eita
    The present and future, huh?
    You guys sound like a good match.
[20:55] Ruka
    Right?
[20:57] Ruka
    That must be why it never
    feels like we're competing.
[21:02] Ruka
    What a relief!

    Now I'll be able to put all
    my energy into the play.

[02:32] Actor 1
    Is that your dance from the last scene?
[02:34] Actor 1
    You've already perfected it!
[02:36] Ruka
    Heck yeah! Thanks.
[02:43] Gaku
    I'm really impressed, Ru.
[02:45] Gaku
    When did you get so good at dancing?
[02:48] Ruka
    A few shows back, I did classical Japanese
    dance on stage, so probably then.
[02:54] Gaku
    Oh, that's right.
[02:55] Gaku
    That one had a lot of dance scenes too.
[02:58] Actor 1
    Wow, I didn't realize you'd
    done roles like that, Ruka.
[03:02] Ruka
    Yeah. The Japanese dance instructor
    really put me through the wringer.
[03:06] Ruka
    He was terrifying!
[03:09] Ruka
    I still had fun, though.
[03:11] Ruka
    I've studied with a lot of teachers before,
     but he's in the top three.
[03:15] Actor 2
    You mean teachers you worked with
     for stage rehearsals, right?
[03:21] Ruka
    Yeah. All 2.5D productions are
    set in anime and manga worlds,
[03:27] Ruka
    so I usually have to play characters
    who have unique quirks and skills.
[03:32] Gaku
    Didn't you once learn rakugo so you
    could play a rakugo storyteller?
[03:36] Gaku
    I remember hearing you practicing in
    your room. That sure surprised me!
[03:40] Gaku
    And you were good at it, too.
[03:41] Actor 1
    I can't picture that at all.
[03:44] Actor 2
    What else have you picked up?
[03:47] Ruka
    Hmm...
[03:48] Ruka
    Equestrian, ice skating,
    parkour, and the koto!
[03:53] Ruka
    Also...
[03:54] Gaku
    Speaking of,
[03:55] Gaku
    didn't you also learn to play sax
    while you were doing parkour?
[03:59] Ruka
    Sure did!
[04:00] Ruka
    I was practicing it on a break once,
[04:04] Ruka
    and the other actors whipped out
    instruments to form an impromptu band.
[04:08] Ruka
    We still pass down the legendary tale!
[04:11] Actor 2
    Do you try to pick up the skills of every
    character you play, Ruka-san?
[04:16] Gaku
    He sure does.
[04:18] Gaku
    And he really tries to perfect them.
[04:22] Gaku
    You should hear the audience react
    when he uses them on stage.
[04:26] Actor 1 & 2
    He's a prodigy!
[04:28] Ruka
    Isn't it great that we get to
    learn all this new stuff?
[04:32] Gaku
    Well, for you, yeah.
[04:34] Gaku
    But most people can't master
    everything as easily as you do, Ru.
[04:38] Ruka
    You really think so?
[04:40] Actor 1 & 2
    Mm-hmm.
[04:42] Ruka
    But it's tons of fun.
[04:44] Ruka
    With every new skill, I feel more like
    I can transform into that character.
[04:50] Ruka
    It's kinda like grinding experience
     to get a transformation belt!
[04:53] Ruka
    Or something.
[04:55] Gaku
    So your dream to transform has come true.
[04:58] Gaku
    You see why this is your ideal job?
[05:01] Gaku
    That's why this isn't just work to him.
     He actually really enjoys it.
[05:06] Gaku
    That makes the audience get into it too.
[05:09] Actor 1
    Whoa...
[05:10] Actor 2
    Incredible.
[05:11] Gaku
    It truly is incredible.
[05:14] Ruka
    It's almost time for sword practice.

    We'd better go get warmed up!
[05:18] Gaku
    Yeah.

    Hey, did you hear how much

[05:26] Actor 2
    Yeah.

    Go on home without me.

    Oh, really? Well, I'll go with you.
[06:19] Gaku
    Nah, it isn't a big deal.
    I'd rather go alone.

     Then I guess we aren't eating together...

[07:07] Ruka
    Great! Thanks as always.
[07:09] Koduki
    You and Gaku-kun came home together, right?
[07:12] Koduki
    Is he in his room?
[07:13] Ruka
    No, he had other plans today.
    He isn't back yet.
[07:18] Koduki
    Oh, really? I came to deliver
    the materials he asked for.
[07:22] Ruka
    Want me to give them to him, then?
[07:24] Koduki
    You don't mind? Thanks so much.
[07:27] Ayumu
    You were on set together but
    left separately? I guess it happens.
[07:33] Ruka
    He said he had something to do at the office.
[07:36] Koduki
    Huh?
[07:37] Reiji
    But when he does,
    don't you always go with him?
[07:40] Ruka
    He said it wasn't a big deal and went alone.
[07:43] Reiji
    Hmm.
[07:44] Koduki
    That's odd.
[07:46] Ayumu
    What is?
[07:47] Koduki
    Oh, well...
[07:49] Koduki
    He told me he couldn't get to the office
    for a while because of rehearsals.
[07:53] Koduki
    That's why I brought the materials here.
[07:56] Ruka
    Huh?
[07:57] Koduki
    If he was coming, why didn't he—
[08:00] Koduki
    We must have just missed each other!
[08:02] Koduki
    I'm headed back there anyway,
    so I'll get in touch with him.
[08:05] Koduki
    I'll be off now!
[08:07] Reiji
    Nice job.
[08:08] Ayumu
    Take care.
[08:09] Ruka
    S-See you later!
[08:12] Ruka
    Huh? Was Gaku-kun lying
    about going to the office?
[08:18] Reiji
    Nah, I'm sure he just forgot to mention it.
[08:22] Ayumu
    But still, maybe...
[08:24] Ayumu
    Ruka, has Gaku been avoiding you?
[08:27] Ruka
    I knew it!
[08:28] Reiji
    Oh, come on! Why can't you take a hint?
[08:32] Ayumu
    It's better to be open about these things.
[08:35] Ayumu
    It'd be worse if he figured it out later.
[08:39] Ruka
    Oh no! It's because I was acting
    so frustrated and awkward!
[08:43] Ayumu
    Frustrated?
[08:44] Reiji
    Awkward?
[08:46] Ayumu
    Mind telling us the whole story?
[08:49] Ruka
    All right.
[09:00] Reiji
    So, to summarize...
[09:02] Reiji
    your childhood friend said
     that costars are like rivals,
[09:07] Reiji
    so you decided to treat Gaku
    like a rival for the play.
[09:13] Ruka
    Yeah.
[09:14] Ayumu
    But Gaku wouldn't compete with you like that,
[09:18] Ayumu
    which frustrated you and things
     grew awkward between you two.
[09:22] Ruka
    Yeah...
[09:24] Ayumu
    I don't get what happened.
[09:26] Ruka
    I wanted him to come straight
    out and challenge me!
[09:29] Ruka
    "You'll never beat me!
    Just watch, punk!" Like that!
[09:33] Reiji
    Why would you expect Gaku to act that way?
[09:35] Reiji
    It's so out of character.
[09:36] Ruka
    I know, but still!
[09:38] Ruka
    I tried to push him...
[09:40] Ruka
    But not anymore!
[09:42] Ayumu
    You said you overcame your frustration?
[09:45] Ruka
    Yeah.
[09:46] Ruka
    Gaku-kun and I have different
    ways of doing things,
[09:50] Ruka
    but I realized we're still always
    facing the same direction!
[09:54] Ruka
    Except Gaku-kun started avoiding
    me when I was acting weird...
[09:58] Ruka
    And now here we are.
[10:02] Reiji
    So just tell Gaku what you told us now.
[10:07] Ruka
    You think?
[10:08] Ayumu
    Yeah. To clear up the confusion.
[10:11] Ruka
    Yeah, you're right... I'll try that!
[10:14] Ayumu
    When things get awkward, get ramen!
[10:16] Ruka & Reiji
    Huh?
[10:18] Ayumu
    It'll bring you closer together.
[10:20] Reiji
    Ah, well, I guess.
[10:22] Reiji
    He'll probably come back hungry,
[10:24] Reiji
    so maybe you can talk it out
    over a bowl of ramen or something.
[10:28] Reiji
    Gaku might have something on his mind too.
[10:32] Ruka
    All right.
[10:34] Ruka
    Ramen it is! I'll make some.
[10:42] Gaku
    Phew. Hmm?
[10:44] Gaku
    That smells like...
[10:47] Ruka
    Welcome home, Gaku-kun.
[10:50] Ruka
    Ta-da!
[10:52] Gaku
    It's been ages since I had your signature
    stir-fry-everything-and-toss-it-in ramen.
[10:57] Ruka
    I haven't made it in a while.
[10:59] Ruka
    You hungry?
[11:00] Gaku
    Yeah.
[11:01] Ruka
    Then come and take a seat, sir.
[11:03] Gaku & Ruka
    Let's dig in!
[11:12] Gaku
    Delicious!
[11:13] Ruka
    Oh, good.
[11:15] Ruka
    Today's secret ingredient is dried scallop.
[11:18] Gaku
    Yeah. It makes a great soup.
[11:21] Ruka
    Gaku-kun, I'm sorry.
[11:23] Gaku
    Hmm?
[11:24] Ruka
    It's my fault that you're
    avoiding me, isn't it?
[11:28] Gaku
    Huh?
[11:30] Ruka
    Because I got so frustrated when
    you wouldn't act like my rival.
[11:36] Ruka
    But I'm over it now and back to normal!
[11:40] Ruka
    I won't be a downer anymore!
[11:42] Ruka
    So please come home and eat dinner
    with me like you always used to!
[11:45] Gaku
    H-Hey, hold on, Ru! That isn't it.
[11:48] Ruka
    What isn't?
[11:49] Gaku
    Well, I guess I have a few things to explain.
[11:54] Gaku
    But first, what's this about me not being
    your rival? What are you talking about?
[11:58] Ruka
    I mean, you always compliment whatever
    I do, but you never try to challenge me.
[12:04] Gaku
    That isn't true at all.
[12:06] Ruka
    Oh, yes, it is!
[12:09] Gaku
    It might seem that way to you,
[12:12] Gaku
    but ever since the start of rehearsals,
    I've totally been trying to compete with you.
[12:17] Ruka
    What?!
[12:18] Gaku
    Why are you so surprised?
[12:20] Gaku
    You eclipsed me in the dance scene.
    How could I not care about that?
[12:25] Ruka
    I didn't even notice.
[12:27] Gaku
    That's why today, I...
[12:29] Gaku
    I'll say it because I think you already know.
[12:32] Gaku
    I lied about heading to the office.
[12:35] Gaku
    I was practicing the whole time.
[12:39] Ruka
    Is that what you were up to?
[12:40] Gaku
    Yeah.
[12:41] Gaku
    Since we're costars, I didn't want to
    tell you I was rehearsing by myself.
[12:46] Gaku
    I'm sorry.
[12:47] Ruka
    No, there's no reason for you to apologize!
[12:50] Ruka
    I see... So that's what it was.
[12:53] Gaku
    And on top of that, this dish has always
    rivaled my own "Izakaya Gaku" menu.
[13:00] Ruka
    Huh?
[13:01] Gaku
    You just throw things together,
    but it still turns out delicious.
[13:05] Gaku
    I've always been so jealous.
[13:07] Ruka
    Even though your cooking is so much better?
[13:09] Gaku
    I learned to cook by trial and error,
[13:13] Gaku
    but you always cook from the heart
    and still come up with genius recipes.
[13:17] Gaku
    That's what I mean.
[13:20] Gaku
    Get it? I do see you as a rival.
[13:24] Ruka
    Yeah. I've discovered my secret rival!
[13:27] Gaku
    I never meant to tell you that, though.
[13:32] Ruka
    It's all thanks to the power of ramen.
[13:34] Gaku
    Yeah, maybe so.
[13:36] Ruka
    Okay, okay. It all makes sense now.
[13:38] Ruka
    You and I really are the same, Gaku-kun.
[13:41] Gaku
    Hmm?
[13:43] Ruka
    Actually, I...
[13:46] Gaku
    Now I get it.
[13:48] Gaku
    I'm the present and you're the future, right?
[13:51] Gaku
    I think that's about the size of it.
[13:54] Ruka
    Right?
[13:55] Ruka
    And you know what I think?
[13:57] Ruka
    Since you live in the moment,
[13:59] Ruka
    you tend to be really hard
    on your current self.
[14:03] Gaku
    Oh?
[14:04] Ruka
    Instead of thinking long term,
[14:06] Ruka
    you try to finish things right away
    and overwork yourself.
[14:10] Gaku
    Maybe so.
[14:11] Gaku
    Even with things I should take my time on,
[14:14] Gaku
    I don't feel right unless
    I can wrap it all up in a day's work.
[14:18] Gaku
    I do that all the time.
[14:21] Ruka
    You're dang right.
[14:22] Ruka
    So what's happening here is that
     you're seeing your "rival" dance,
[14:27] Ruka
    and it's stirring a competitive urge
    that you're desperate to shake, right?
[14:31] Gaku
    I really hate it when you make that face.
[14:33] Ruka
    Don't worry, Gaku-kun.
[14:36] Ruka
    You've gotten this far by always finishing
    your day's work, even when it's hard.
[14:44] Ruka
    You'll get your dancing
    to where you want it, too.
[14:49] Gaku
    I feel like my enemy is showing me mercy.
[14:51] Ruka
    Rivals are also your most
    dependable allies, you know?
[14:55] Gaku
    Ain't that the truth.
[14:56] Ruka
    So, anyway...
[15:00] Ruka
    I suggest we practice together
    instead of alone!
[15:04] Gaku
    That figures.
[15:06] Ruka
    We'll push each other, help each other,
[15:10] Ruka
    and turn this into the best show ever!
[15:14] Gaku
    Yeah. I'm sure we will.
[16:06] Yuya
    They said they're rehearsing right now.
[16:08] Eita
    Should I message
    to ask if they need anything?
[16:12] Yuya
    Yeah, good idea.
[16:13] Yuya
    It's so crazy.
[16:15] Yuya
    They said they had today off,
     but they're still practicing this late?
[16:19] Yuya
    They sure are working hard.
[16:20] Eita
    No kidding. They've always been like that.
[16:24] Eita
    Always challenging each other, giving it
    all they've got, and getting the best results.
[16:30] Yuya
    Yeah, they always made a great team.
SIGN    Nadumi
SIGN    Oguro
[16:36] Ruka
    That one was great!
[16:38] Gaku
    Yeah, I finally feel like we got
    through the whole thing okay.
[16:43] Gaku
    Just in time, too.
[16:44] Ruka
    Maybe so, but we sure cleaned house today!
[16:48] Gaku
    We sure did.
[16:49] Ruka
    The show opens tomorrow.
    Let's do this thing!
[16:52] Gaku
    Yeah! We've got this!
[17:03] Eita
    I'm starting to get nervous.
[17:05] Yuya
    Why are you getting nervous?
[17:24] Ruka
    So, you're all that's left now.
[17:27] Actor 1
    We can't do this!
     He's too tough! Let's go!
[17:30] Ruka
    Halt!
[17:31] Gaku
    You there.
[17:36] Gaku
    The road ahead is dangerous.
    I wouldn't risk it.
[17:41] Ruka
    Huh?
[17:41] Ruka
    There's only one person in this
    world who can stop me, and that's me.
[17:48] Gaku
    Dear me.
[17:49] Gaku
    He's the skilled fighter from the
    other side that I've heard about?
[17:53] Gaku
    I'd rather not take him on.
[18:01] Ruka
    Hey! Did you do this?
[18:04] Gaku
    No. They were like this when I got here.
[18:08] Gaku
    While the factions that you and I are
    assisting were busy fighting each other,
[18:13] Gaku
    another gang must have swooped in
    to take advantage of the confusion.
[18:16] Ruka
    Are you serious?
[18:17] Gaku
    I think they've worn out their welcome here.
[18:24] Ruka
    Hey, I know!
[18:25] Gaku
    Huh?
[18:26] Ruka
    In that case, let's join forces.
[18:28] Gaku
    What?
[18:29] Ruka
    You and I call our groups together,
[18:32] Ruka
    but then corner the scoundrels
    and squeeze them out!
[18:35] Ruka
    Well?
[18:38] Gaku
    Not a bad idea.
[18:40] Gaku
    I'm Gaku Oguro. What about you?
[18:42] Ruka
    I'm Ruka Nadumi. Call me Ru.
[18:45] Ruka
    Nice to meet you, partner!
[18:55] Ruka
    Oh no!
[18:56] Gaku
    Hyah!
[19:00] Gaku
    Sorry I was late!
[19:01] Ruka
    No kidding. But...
[19:04] Ruka
    now that you're here, victory is ours.
[19:06] Ruka
    I'll cut a path through them!
[19:08] Ruka
    You deal the final blow!
[19:10] Gaku
    Okay. Leave it to me.
[19:14] Ruka
    Hey, would you be my brother?
[19:17] Gaku
    Are you always so direct?
[19:19] Ruka
    I like the city of Botan.
    I want to protect it.
[19:24] Ruka
    I'm prepared to take on any fight to do that.
[19:27] Ruka
    But I can only do so much alone.
[19:28] [SONG] song
    Sing of the Moon, Dance in the Flowers
[19:29] Ruka
    For a partner, I'd need
    someone tough and trustworthy
[19:34] Ruka
    who can watch my back like you do.
[19:35] [SONG] song
    Do not become misled by this
    world of love and grief
[19:37] Ruka
    Let's protect Botan together, Gaku-kun!
[19:42] Gaku
    You sure don't waste time.
[19:42] [SONG] song
    Instead, in the flowers' notes,
    you will find the true way
[19:44] Gaku
    But okay.
[19:46] Gaku
    You want to protect Botan together, Ru?
[19:49] Gaku
    Not a bad idea.
[19:49] [SONG] song
    Only kings who ascend here
    have flowers in their soul
[19:56] [SONG] song
    Of Tsukihana Kagura, a dancer you will be
[20:06] [SONG] song
    Every night, every night,
    mesmerized by the feeling
[20:09] [SONG] song
    That this place is the door
     to illusion elegant
[20:12] [SONG] song
    If you fleet as gently as
    the petals in your dance,
[20:15] [SONG] song
    the night sky will reveal itself to you
[20:24] Ruka
    And the curtain has risen.
[20:26] Ruka
    Let's keep up the momentum, brother!
[20:30] Gaku
    Ru, come back to Earth!
[20:32] Gaku
    We need to get some rest while we can.
[20:34] Ruka
    Oh!
[20:38] Ruka
    I guess it's started.
[20:39] Gaku
    Yeah. The battle isn't over yet.
[20:41] Ruka
    And I'm not gonna lose.
[20:43] Gaku
    I'm playing to win, too.
[20:45] Ruka
    Oh yeah?
[20:46] Ruka
    When the play's over, for other jobs
     and even VAZZROCK Live,
[20:50] Ruka
    I'll put you in your place!
[20:51] Gaku
    We'll see about that!
[20:54] Ruka
    Gaku-kun, my friend and immortal rival!
[20:57] Ruka
    It's great working with you.
[20:59] Gaku
    Likewise. Let's do this, Ru!
[21:12] [SONG] ---
    Noble days and peaceful times
[21:15] [SONG] ---
    Have never yet been fully realized
[21:17] [SONG] ---
    Rain of blood fell from the sky
    That past will now tell us why
[21:21] [SONG] ---
    And how we found a new reason to arise
[21:23] [SONG] ---
    The wind that passes through the land
[21:26] [SONG] ---
    Reveals the long-lost secrets of the time
[21:28] [SONG] ---
    Bringing forth a warning and knowledge
[21:30] [SONG] ---
    Of the power of the dance and of the song
[21:33] [SONG] ---
    Oh you, lost upon the opposite shore,
[21:36] [SONG] ---
    must have your own reason why
    you cannot give up the fight
[21:39] [SONG] ---
    When the souls draw together
[21:42] [SONG] ---
    They make their stand
[21:44] [SONG] ---
    Sheathed in gardens of colors abloom
[21:47] [SONG] ---
    Of the moon, sing at last
    of the weight of the past
[21:50] [SONG] ---
    Sing forth to the moonlight a great ode
[21:52] [SONG] ---
    The age red flowers burned,
    we'll not let it return
[21:55] [SONG] ---
    Instead dance the Kagura's so sacred colors
[21:58] [SONG] ---
    And the wise ones who show
    what happens tomorrow
[22:00] [SONG] ---
    Have no vision to tell us which way it will go
[22:03] [SONG] ---
    A peaceful new time is up to you and I
[22:06] [SONG] ---
    It's the season for our
    lovely flowers to blossom
[22:09] [SONG] ---
    We are the pride of the flowers that grow
[22:11] [SONG] ---
    Mt. Kataku and volcanoes
    ripped the land across the plains
[22:14] [SONG] ---
    And tore the continent to pieces,
    splitting islands from the mainland
[22:16] [SONG] ---
    Then spread out into a circle,
    each one now with its own world
[22:19] [SONG] ---
    Yet if flowers and seeds met,
    they bring a new age that's truly grand
[22:22] [SONG] ---
    But difference in how they thought
    kept them apart as they still fought
[22:24] [SONG] ---
    So where do years of battle lead?
    The ship's direction unforeseen
[22:28] [SONG] ---
    With the violent, tectonic,
    blossoming of the world at hand...
[22:30] [SONG] ---
    The flowers, countries,
    all split into thirteen islands
[22:39] Futaba
    The play was great.
[22:42] Ayumu
    Yes, very moving.
[22:44] Yuma
    I could feel the bond between Gaku-san
    and Ruka-san even more than before.
[22:48] Ouka
    We've got to work at that, too.
[22:50] Naosuke
    Yeah, I'm really fired up now!
[22:53] Issa
    Once the play concludes, they'll finally
    be able to join us in rehearsals.
[22:58] Reiji
    Yeah, they said they'd run right over.
[23:01] Takaaki
    Without missing a beat?
    They sure are motivated.
[23:04] Haruto
    I'm sure they'll bring more energy
    to rehearsals than we can imagine.
[23:09] Haruto
    I bet they'll catch up in no time.
[23:12] Takaaki
    That'll be inspiring for us, too.
[23:13] Takaaki
    I think it'll get us off to
    a good start for the concert.
[23:17] Shou
    Yeah. It isn't just them, either.
[23:19] Shou
    All twelve of us, in ROCK DOWN and VAZZY,
     have bonds that connect each other.
[23:24] Shou
    I want everyone to see that power!
[23:27] All
    At VAZZROCK Live!

    Yeah!
[17:40] Takaaki
    Man, we just blazed through that, Shou!
[17:43] Shou
    We sure did, Taka-chan.
[17:45] Shou
    Did you enjoy our twelve-part medley?
[17:51] Ouka
    Even with twelve people,
    it went by in a flash.
[17:55] Takaaki
    Did you have fun, Ouka-chan?
[17:57] Ouka
    You don't even need to ask.
[17:58] Issa
    Just answer him and say you did.
[18:02] Futaba
    You did too, right, bro?
[18:03] Issa
    Yeah, it was fun.
[18:05] Issa
    You guys were great, too.
[18:07] Issa
    Nice job!
[18:12] Futaba
    Well, that was a little condescending,
    but you all earned the compliment!
[18:16] Yuma
    Issa-san, you were having
    the time of your life, too.
[18:20] Yuma
    You could have waited backstage, but you
    watched from the wings the whole time.
[18:23] Naosuke
    Mm-hmm.
[18:23] Issa
    Hey!
[18:25] Ayumu
    You were watching.
[18:26] Haruto
    You definitely were.
[18:27] Gaku
    Yeah, you were watching.
[18:28] Takaaki
    Watching over us all.
[18:29] Issa
    Shut—
[18:31] Ruka
    To be fair, all of us kept watching!
[18:33] Naosuke
    Yeah, that's right.
[18:35] Naosuke
    You waited behind the curtain
    and when I came off stage,
[18:38] Naosuke
    you greeted me with a big "job well done!"
[18:41] Yuma
    You gave me quite a start
    when you jumped at me like that.
[18:44] Naosuke
    Er, I mean... I was just so excited!
[18:49] Takaaki
    When Yuma caught him and then immediately
    switched gears to march out on stage,
[18:53] Takaaki
    he looked so cool.
[18:55] Yuma
    What? I...
[18:57] Gaku
    I guess there was drama offstage, too.
[18:59] Ruka
    And cameras!
[19:02] Ruka
    Don't worry, everyone!
    They got lots of shots of me.
[19:05] Futaba
    I don't think the cameras stopped
    rolling for even a single second.
[19:10] Futaba
    So you can look forward to all
    the backstage footage, everyone!
[19:16] Haruto
    Hmm. I guess I should have expressed
    more bubbling enthusiasm
[19:21] Haruto
    when I was off the stage, too.
[19:23] Reiji
    Don't even start with that!
    This isn't a comedy routine.
[19:26] Shou
    Shut down by a Reiji Block!
[19:29] Reiji
    You make it sound like a fight move.
[19:31] Reiji
    That said, this was kind of like a relay race.
[19:34] Reiji
    "Okay, I'm done. You're up.
    Go for it!" And all that.
[19:38] Ayumu
    I guess so.
[19:39] Ayumu
    Your high five slapped the
    stage fright right out of me.
[19:43] Ayumu
    I could suddenly see everything clearly,
[19:45] Ayumu
    and this wave of light
    came flooding toward me.
[19:48] Ayumu
    It was really powerful.
[19:50] Reiji
    Oh yeah? Well, I'm glad.
[19:52] Ouka
    Ayumu, I know what you mean.
[19:54] Ouka
    I was really moved, too. It felt so
    good to sing in that ocean of light.
[19:59] Shou
    Because each one of those lights
    glows with feelings for us.
[20:09] Takaaki
    All right, then.
[20:11] Takaaki
    To cap off this wonderful night,
    we've got one more song, Shou.
[20:16] Shou
    That's right, Takaaki.
[20:25] Takaaki
    This journey we've taken with you
[20:27] Takaaki
    was also a chance for us take another
    look at ourselves and try to grow.
[20:33] Takaaki
    I am who I am because you're here.
[20:36] Shou
    Your confusion, your worries, your weakness...
[20:39] Shou
    I'll embrace every part of you.
[20:41] Shou
    I want to brighten your days with the
     light you've brought into my life.

    So, all together...
