**[00:48] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh
**[00:51] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-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
**[01:39] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[01:42] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[01:45] [SONG] ---**
we're grabbing victory today
**[01:47] [SONG] ---**
Fly away
**[01:48] [SONG] ---**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[01:51] [SONG] ---**
send you miracles, come what may
**[01:53] [SONG] ---**
And that's because we
**[01:54] [SONG] ---**
never give up, never give up
**[01:56] [SONG] ---**
We're free and the
**[01:57] [SONG] ---**
sun is lighting our way
***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**
We're both grown adults.
**[13:58] Crew**
Camera test all clear!
**[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.
**[16:58] Yuma**
- Okay! We're going!
**[17:00] Ouka**
See you later.

We are too! Say, my name's Risuke Ito.
**[17:11] Yuma (as Ito)**
And this here is Kuichi Irie.
**[17:13] Yuma (as Ito)**
We're both applying to enroll too. Right?
**[17:15] Ouka (as Irie)**
Ah, no, I'm only requesting an
audience with Yoshida-sensei.
**[17:20] Yuma (as Ito)**
Oh, don't say that. Even the brilliant
and distinguished Kusaka-sensei has...
**[17:25] Toi (as Takasugi)**
Kusaka?
**[17:26] Yuma (as Ito)**
Do you know of him?
**[17:29] Toi (as Takasugi)**
Irie.
**[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?
**[17:39] Toi (as Takasugi)**
What are you afraid of?
**[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.
**[18:54] Takaaki**
I think I'm probably something
of an expert in that area.
**[18:57] Reporter**
Of course you are, Mamiya-san!
**[18:58] Reporter**
You ranked third for "best smile."

I've never really thought about it

Honestly, I don't have a lot

Hi, Nao. Good to see you. You're still up?

I've got something I wanna ask you.

Oh yeah? In that case,

You want to talk about something, Ouka.
**[21:20] Ouka**
You can tell?
**[21:21] Takaaki**
Of course I can. I've known
you long enough for that.
**[21:25] Takaaki**
All right, I'm all ears.
**[21:27] Ouka**
If you say so.
**[21:28] Ouka**
During the interview today,
you spaced out for a minute.
**[21:32] Takaaki**
I did?
**[21:34] Ouka**
You did. When she asked
for a story about smiling.
**[21:36] Takaaki**
Ah, so you noticed.
You've got a good eye, Ouka-chan.
**[21:39] Ouka**
Don't dodge the question.
Did something happen?
**[21:42] Takaaki**
Okay, but keep it between us.
You really want to know?
**[21:45] Ouka**
Of course I do.
**[21:47] Takaaki**
This was around the time I made my debut.

For a while back then, I didn't have
anything to smile about at all.

This was a gift, but it's pretty good tea.
**[01:55] Ouka**
Thanks.

Here we are.
**[02:02] Ouka**
Can I... ask you why?
**[02:05] Takaaki**
Sure. It's a little embarrassing,
but for you...
**[02:11] Takaaki**
Back when I was trying to decide
whether or not to make my group debut,
**[02:17] Takaaki**
I was going to the office
every day for lessons.
**[02:20] Takaaki**
It was tough, but I had so much fun.
**[02:25] Takaaki**
I was constantly smiling.
**[02:29] (Flashback) Boy A**
Man, my legs are done!
**[02:31] (Flashback) Choreographer**
All right, then let's take a break.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Takaaki**
Oh, good! I was starting to feel it as well.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Boy B**
Me too, me too!
**[02:42] (Flashback) Choreographer**
I tell you, it's rare to find someone
who looks as happy dancing as you do.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Takaaki**
Oh, really?
**[02:48] (Flashback) Choreographer**
You must be destined to be an idol.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Takaaki**
Thank you very much.
I actually think so too.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Choreographer**
Don't get carried away now.
**[02:56] (Flashback) Boy A**
Mamiya's a natural-born idol.

**[03:44] (Flashback) Takaaki**
Huh?
**[03:46] (Flashback) Boy C**

Ah, Takaaki-kun... I'm sorry.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Takaaki**
Um, is he...
**[03:58] (Flashback) Employee**
Yes. He's quitting the group.
**[04:06] Takaaki**
The kid who quit was a great dancer.
**[04:09] Takaaki**
He went around bragging that
he'd be next to debut.
**[04:15] Ouka**
I hear stories like that
all the time in this industry.
**[04:18] Ouka**
It must've been tough for him, though.
**[04:20] Takaaki**
Yeah, that's what everyone told me.
**[04:23] Takaaki**
I tried not to worry about it.
**[04:29] Takaaki**
But that was a first for me.
**[04:32] Takaaki**
I'd heard "I hate you" and "you piss me off."
But "you make me sick"?
**[04:37] Ouka**
Takaaki...
**[04:39] Takaaki**
For a while, I think it really stuck with me.
**[04:42] Takaaki**
To the point that I was scared to smile.
**[04:45] Ouka**
I had no idea.
**[04:47] Takaaki**
Thinking back, it didn't last too long.
Maybe two or three months.
**[04:52] Ouka**
But right when you're starting out,
that's forever.
**[04:56] Ouka**
And if you still think about it to this day...
**[04:59] Takaaki**
Yeah.
**[05:00] Takaaki**
It was the first time anyone said
something that affected me so much.
**[05:04] Takaaki**
I guess it was a real shock.
**[05:06] Ouka**
How did you get over it?
**[05:10] Takaaki**
Well, that's...
**[05:13] Takaaki**
a secret!
**[05:14] Ouka**
Huh?
**[05:15] Takaaki**
Come now. If I keep talking,
the tea will get cold.
**[05:19] Ouka**
Hey, you can't just leave me hanging.
**[05:23] Takaaki**
I guess sharing secrets
is more taxing than I thought.
**[05:26] Takaaki**

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?
**[06:52] AD**
We're rolling!

**[07:02] Ouka**
How did he get over it?
**[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.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Manager**
Good work today. Oh, right.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Manager**
Do you want to continue the image
character work for White Ice?
**[08:01] (Flashback) Ouka**
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**
Um, is something bothering you?
**[08:13] (Flashback) Ouka**
No. I'll take any offer I get.

**[08:27] Takaaki**
*I'm Takaaki Mamiya.*

*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.*
**[08:50] (Flashback) Ouka**
Takaaki Mamiya, huh?
**[08:54] Takaaki**
What's this? I didn't know
you were here, Ouka.
**[08:57] Ouka**
Takaaki?
**[08:58] Takaaki**
Oh, that? I have a copy too!

***SIGN*** New Group
**[09:11] Ouka**
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**
Sorry, sorry.
**[09:31] Ouka**
So?
***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!
**[15:21] Futaba**
Straight from the oven!
***SIGN*** Shokasonjuku

**[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.
**[21:01] Takaaki**
Next week's episode will
be all about ROCK DOWN.
**[21:04] Takaaki**
Right, Shou?
**[21:05] Shou**
Yup. Next it'll be ROCK DOWN's turn to shine.
**[21:09] Shou**
Don't forget to tune in!
**[21:10] Takaaki**
Well then, we'll see you all
again next week! Ready, set...
**[21:15] Takaaki & Shou**
Bye-bye!

I took this one for fun

**[22:53] Issa**
I kind of like it.
**[22:56] Futaba**
Bro's the fallen angel,
and I'm just an angel.
**[22:58] Futaba**
Oh, I didn't come up with that.
It was the photographer's idea.
**[23:03] Naosuke**
Takaaki-san took this for me a few years ago.
**[23:06] Naosuke**
It's a little embarrassing, I guess.
**[23:08] Naosuke**
But it's one of my faves.
**[23:17] Takaaki**
I love how natural this photo looks.
**[23:21] Takaaki**
See? Everyone's got such a great smile.
**[23:24] Takaaki**
These are the twelve members

If that pain stayed with me,
I'd shake it off and say

***SIGN*** Effulgent • Part One
**[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!
***SIGN*** REINDEER
**[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.
**[08:05] Ruka**
That's our cue!
***SIGN*** Violinist
Shou Onoda
**[08:08] Takaaki**
Where were you hiding that?
***SIGN*** Shou Onoda Violin Concert
**[08:11] Gaku**
On that note, time for our plug!
**[08:13] Gaku**
Shou is performing his first
solo concert in a while.
**[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.
**[09:37] Haruto**
*Please come see Shou in concert!*
**[09:39] Shou**
*I hope to see you there.*

Come on. We have to leave in an hour.
**[11:17] Haruto**
Wake up, Shou. Shou!
**[11:23] Photographer**
Yes, just like that. Okay!
Let's go for one more.
**[11:32] Photographer**
Can you smile a little more?
**[11:34] Photographer**
Yeah, that's it! Looking good!
**[11:40] Photographer**
Okay, eyes over here.
**[11:41] Photographer**
Ah! Perfectamundo! Okay.
**[11:44] Haruto**
You said you were going to practice
for your concert after this?
**[11:48] Shou**
Yeah. I reserved a room at a studio nearby.
**[11:51] Haruto**
Mind if I come with?
**[11:53] Shou**
Huh?
**[11:55] Haruto**
I haven't heard you play the violin in a while.
**[11:57] Shou**
Sure. Be my guest.
**[12:02] Haruto**
Huh. I never noticed this place.
**[12:05] Shou**
It's hard to find if you aren't looking for it.
**[12:08] Ejima**
Onoda-kun?
**[12:10] Shou**
Ejima-san? It's been a long time.
**[12:13] Ejima**
How have you been?
I'm pleased to see you here.
**[12:31] Shou**
Haruto, this is the America-based
violinist Kodai Ejima.
**[12:38] Haruto**
Haruto Kujikawa. I'm an entertainer
working with Shou in the band ROCK DOWN.
**[12:44] Haruto**
Very pleased to meet you.
**[12:45] Ejima**
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.
***SIGN*** RECORDING
**[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.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Haruto**
Hmm.
**[19:34] (Flashback) Shou**
Shall I play you something?
**[19:39] (Flashback) Haruto**
Right now?
**[20:17] (Flashback) Shou**
Just follow your heart and enjoy the sound.

See? There isn't anything difficult about it.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Haruto**
Wow, I see what you mean!
**[20:59] Shou**
How was it?
**[21:00] Haruto**
I'm sorry for such an amateurish review,
but I really enjoyed listening to it.
**[21:04] Shou**
To me, that's the best review I can get.
**[21:08] Haruto**
So just follow my heart and enjoy it?
**[21:11] Shou**
Yes, follow your heart!

**[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.

**[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!

Go for it!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Boy classmate**
Hooray!

Wow!

**[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.

**[19:56] Ejima**
Wha— What's going on?
**[19:57] Haruto**
Let's go.
**[19:58] Haruto**
I want you to hear what
Shou sounds like now.
**[20:03] Ejima**
I-I know, but right now, I...
**[20:05] Ejima**
Just look at how I'm dressed.
**[20:07] Haruto**
You'll be fine like that.
**[20:09] Haruto**
Classical doesn't have to be stuffy.
**[20:11] Haruto**
You don't need to dress up.
You can be casual and still enjoy it.
**[20:14] Haruto**
That's what Shou always says.
**[20:16] Ejima**
But...
**[20:16] Haruto**
If you want to hear it, you should just come!
**[20:21] Haruto**
Come on. Follow your heart!
**[21:09] Ejima**
Onoda-kun's really playing a concert...
**[21:13] Haruto**
Yeah. The one and only
Shou Onoda from ROCK DOWN.
**[21:28] Ejima**
I still do love it. He's amazing!
**[22:05] [SONG] ---**
The sunlight's intense beam illuminates you
**[22:09] [SONG] ---**
In the summer when you are wandering
**[22:13] [SONG] ---**
Looking for your own passions
and wherever they might take you
**[22:18] [SONG] ---**
Humidity rising, concrete jungle,
it's a hot day in the city right now
**[22:22] [SONG] ---**
Even when you can't see
what's in front of you,
**[22:25] [SONG] ---**
It's because I care that
I won't let you stray
**[22:30] [SONG] ---**
When you walk down the street I'll
see your shadow from far away

In the heat and haze,
searching for you although

**[22:43] [SONG] ---**
You're too blue to take all of it on
**[22:46] [SONG] ---**
Just think about it simply
**[22:50] [SONG] ---**
Or just dance to the beat, none
of this is as hard as you thought
**[22:55] [SONG] ---**
Make it happen, okay, let's go
then one, two, shout it out!
**[22:59] [SONG] ---**

And that's why you always

Music is your heartbeat, passion groove

**[00:01] (Flashback) Futaba**
Big brother?
**[00:02] (Flashback) Futaba**
Big brother, where'd you go?
**[00:35] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh
**[00:39] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
**[00:42] [SONG] ---**
Catch up with and overtake
**[00:45] [SONG] ---**
Get a brand new world
**[00:47] [SONG] ---**
I put my foot down and push off,
but the pedal feels so
**[00:50] [SONG] ---**
heavy and so hard to start, yeah
**[00:53] [SONG] ---**
But once I get going you'll see
**[00:55] [SONG] ---**
I'm not moving slow
**[00:58] [SONG] ---**
I'm right with you, let's go
**[01:00] [SONG] ---**
Race all the way up the hill, see the view
**[01:03] [SONG] ---**
I know you feel the awe
**[01:05] [SONG] ---**
'Cause everywhere we go
**[01:07] [SONG] ---**
Shines bright for me and you
**[01:12] [SONG] ---**
Fly high, far as we can go
**[01:15] [SONG] ---**
Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
**[01:18] [SONG] ---**
Then next the sky, and up to space
**[01:20] [SONG] ---**
No delay
**[01:22] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[01:23] [SONG] ---**
With wind at our backs,
faster than a highway
**[01:26] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[01:29] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[01:32] [SONG] ---**
We're grabbing victory today
**[01:34] [SONG] ---**
Fly away
**[01:35] [SONG] ---**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[01:38] [SONG] ---**
send you miracles, come what may
**[01:40] [SONG] ---**
And that's because we
**[01:41] [SONG] ---**
never give up, never give up
**[01:43] [SONG] ---**
We're free and the sun is lighting our way

**[02:34] Futaba**
Huh? I'm the older brother?
***SIGN*** Wonder • Part One
**[02:36] Issa**
And I'm the younger one?
**[02:39] Futaba**
Um, but here it says I play
the younger Itsuki,
***SIGN*** Younger Brother
***SIGN*** "Itsuki"
***SIGN*** Futaba Kiduku
***SIGN*** Tsukino Productions Management
***SIGN*** Older Brother
***SIGN*** "Ryo"
***SIGN*** Issa Kiduku
***SIGN*** Tsukino Productions Management
***SIGN*** Project Proposal
**[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
to turn down. Right, bro?
**[05:39] Takaaki**
Huh? Turn it down? What do you mean?
***SIGN*** Project Proposal
***SIGN*** Older Brother

**[05:43] Takaaki**
Ah, okay. So that's what's going on.
**[05:46] Takaaki**
So it's Issa who's getting cold feet.
**[05:49] Takaaki**
Why not just give it a shot?
**[05:51] Takaaki**
Or are you too chicken, Issa-kun?
**[05:54] Issa**
Think you can bait me that easily? Idiot.
**[05:57] Issa**
I don't have cold feet.
**[05:59] Issa**
It's fine by me. I'll take this on.
**[06:01] Takaaki**
That settles it then.
**[06:02] Futaba**
All right!
***SIGN*** Cast
Issa Kiduku
Futaba Kiduku
**[06:07] Futaba**
Oh, your name's listed first!
**[06:10] Issa**
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.
**[07:58] Director**
This'll be interesting with your ages
reversed. Let's see what you've got.
**[08:03] Issa**
It's our pleasure.
**[08:04] Futaba**
Thank you very much! We'll do our best!
**[08:08] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Itsuki! Have you gotten
yourself into trouble again?
**[08:12] Futaba (as Ryo)**
I'm your older brother.
You can tell me anything.
**[08:15] Issa (as Itsuki)**
You're as naïve as ever.
**[08:18] Issa (as Itsuki)**
I've got nothing to say to you.
**[08:20] Issa (as Itsuki)**
We live in totally different worlds.
**[08:23] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Itsuki...
**[08:25] Director**
Cut!
**[08:26] Director**
Futaba-kun, listen up.
**[08:28] Futaba**
Okay!
**[08:29] Director**
You're trying a little too hard.
**[08:31] Director**
Can you follow Issa-kun's lead
and play it a little more natural?
**[08:35] Futaba**
Okay, I understand.
**[08:39] AD**
Next, Futaba-san, let's go for scene 5.
**[08:43] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Huh? Was that Itsuki—
**[08:48] Futaba (as Ryo)**
What in the... Blood?!
**[08:52] Futaba (as Ryo)**
U-Uh, hey, are you all right? Hold on!
**[08:56] Futaba (as Ryo)**
H-He's dead...
**[08:59] Director**
Cut! Futaba-kun.
**[09:01] Futaba**
Y-Yes?
**[09:02] Director**
Could you try to be a little less stiff?
**[09:05] Futaba**
Okay. Sorry about that.
**[09:11] AD**
All right, Issa-san. Take it away.
**[09:17] Customer**
There's no frickin' way!
**[09:20] Issa (as Itsuki)**
Sir.
**[09:22] Customer**
Guys like you are all the same...
**[09:24] Issa (as Itsuki)**
You're disturbing the other customers.
**[09:27] Customer**
Shut the hell up! I'm your damn customer too!
**[09:36] Issa (as Itsuki)**
I must ask you to leave.
**[09:37] Customer**
You son of a...!
**[09:42] Customer**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[09:48] Issa (as Itsuki)**
You realize anything I do
to you is self-defense now?
**[09:51] Director**
Yeah. Good, Issa-kun.
You're perfect as Itsuki.
**[09:54] Issa**
Thank you very much.
**[09:56] AD**
Let's take a break!
**[09:58] Director**
Issa-kun sure is on the ball.
**[10:00] Director**
He's bringing out and owning the role.
**[10:02] Director**
What great acting.
**[10:04] Director**
That's what you call genius.
**[10:06] Takatsuki**
Kind of you to say so.
**[10:07] Director**
As for Futaba-kun, well,
I'm sure you can give us more.
***SIGN*** Orange
**[10:13] Issa**
Black coffee.
**[10:14] Futaba**
Okay, okay.
**[10:15] Issa**
You're sticking out like a sore thumb.
**[10:17] Issa**
Do you have to force it that much?
**[10:21] Futaba**
Th-That cuts a little too close to be funny.
**[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?

**[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.
**[22:13] [SONG] ---**
Zigzagging, walking to meet you,
**[22:15] [SONG] ---**
I got lost when it started to rain
**[22:18] [SONG] ---**
Life seems so mean when nothing
**[22:22] [SONG] ---**
goes the way that I want
**[22:25] [SONG] ---**
Sometimes it makes me so annoyed
**[22:28] [SONG] ---**
Tell me why your feelings stop before mine
**[22:31] [SONG] ---**
It's not easy being so unsure that
**[22:35] [SONG] ---**
you see the true me
**[22:39] [SONG] ---**
You’re a dream of a puzzle so
**[22:41] [SONG] ---**
when I find the last piece
I know right where it goes
**[22:45] [SONG] ---**
Your smile shines so brightly
**[22:48] [SONG] ---**
Do you see me in the shadows around you?
**[22:51] [SONG] ---**
But that's why you make me happy, tick-tock
**[22:55] [SONG] ---**
As time goes by I really do know
**[22:57] [SONG] ---**
why I always want to stay by your side
**[23:01] [SONG] ---**
and feel your glow
**[23:04] [SONG] ---**
Although all my feelings can get so deep the
**[23:07] [SONG] ---**
brooding in my heart starts to show
**[23:10] [SONG] ---**
I can't stand to be around
you and still hide the reason
**[23:14] [SONG] ---**
I feel this way
**[23:17] [SONG] ---**
I'll keep standing by your
side until I can tell you
**[23:20] [SONG] ---**
I feel this way

I'm home!
**[00:12] (Flashback) Futaba**
And gosh, I'm hungry.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Futaba**
What are you making, bro?
**[00:17] (Flashback) Futaba**
Oh, omurice? Nice!
**[00:19] (Flashback) Issa**
You'd better help if you want any.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Futaba**
Okay, okay.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Futaba**
Ow! Wh-What?
**[00:40] (Flashback) Issa**
Damn it. I overfed you.
**[00:43] (Flashback) ---**
Ah...
**[00:45] (Flashback) Futaba**
Heck yeah!
**[00:46] (Flashback) Issa**
Wipe that grin off your face!

Ow!
**[01:02] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh
**[01:06] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
**[01:09] [SONG] ---**
Catch up with and overtake
**[01:12] [SONG] ---**
Get a brand new world
**[01:14] [SONG] ---**
I put my foot down and push off,
but the pedal feels so
**[01:17] [SONG] ---**
heavy and so hard to start, yeah
**[01:20] [SONG] ---**
But once I get going you'll see
**[01:22] [SONG] ---**
I'm not moving slow
**[01:25] [SONG] ---**
I'm right with you, let's go
**[01:27] [SONG] ---**
Race all the way up the hill, see the view
**[01:30] [SONG] ---**
I know you feel the awe
**[01:32] [SONG] ---**
'Cause everywhere we go
**[01:34] [SONG] ---**
Shines bright for me and you
**[01:39] [SONG] ---**
Fly high, far as we can go
**[01:42] [SONG] ---**
Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
**[01:45] [SONG] ---**
Then next the sky, and up to space
**[01:47] [SONG] ---**
No delay
**[01:49] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[01:50] [SONG] ---**
With wind at our backs,
faster than a highway
**[01:53] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[01:56] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[01:59] [SONG] ---**
We're grabbing victory today
**[02:01] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[02:02] [SONG] ---**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[02:05] [SONG] ---**
send you miracles, come what may
**[02:07] [SONG] ---**
And that's because we
**[02:08] [SONG] ---**
never give up, never give up
**[02:10] [SONG] ---**
We're free and the sun is lighting our way
***SIGN*** Wonder • Part Two
**[02:24] Issa**
Are you afraid of heights now?
**[02:27] Futaba**
I mean...
**[02:29] Futaba**
We've got to jump over this.
**[02:31] Issa**
The net will catch you if you fall,
so don't worry.
**[02:34] Futaba**
That isn't really the issue.
**[02:39] Issa (as Itsuki)**
Keep going without me, Ryo!
**[02:40] Futaba (as Ryo)**
But...
**[02:41] Issa (as Itsuki)**
Just go! Hurry up!
**[02:42] Futaba (as Ryo)**
A-All right.
**[02:55] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Itsuki, you gotta hurry!
**[02:58] Issa (as Itsuki)**
You don't have to tell me!
**[03:04] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Itsuki!
**[03:18] Futaba (as Ryo)**
That was close, Itsuki.
**[03:21] Issa (as Itsuki)**
Whatever. Let's go.
**[03:25] Director**
Cut!
**[03:28] Issa**
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.
**[04:28] Futaba**
The show airs tomorrow.
**[04:30] Futaba**
I'm starting to get nervous about it.
**[04:33] Issa**
What are you freaking out for?
This isn't your first TV show.
***SIGN*** Starring Issa & Futaba Kiduku
**[04:37] Futaba**
Yeah, but we're costarring this time.
**[04:39] Futaba**
I have so many scenes...
**[04:41] Issa**
Just chill. *I'm* the lead.
**[04:43] Futaba**
All right, all right.
**[04:45] Futaba**
Anyway, I've finally started to feel
like I'm owning Ryo's character.
**[04:49] Issa**
Huh.
**[04:50] Futaba**
It's a bit of a relief.
**[04:52] Futaba**
I'm just concerned my acting will
look bad compared to yours.
**[04:55] Issa**
I wanna say you've got a long way to go
before you start comparing yourself to me,
**[05:00] Issa**
but I'd give your acting a passing grade.
**[05:02] Futaba**
Really?
**[05:03] Issa**
For today, I mean.
Don't let it go to your head.
**[05:05] Futaba**
Of course not. Don't worry.

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?

It is.

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.
**[07:51] Takaaki**
Oops.

**[07:53] Takaaki**
Did I distract you?
**[07:55] Naosuke**
Huh? Takaaki-san?
**[07:57] Takaaki**
Oh, Naosuke and Yuma.
**[07:59] Takaaki**
Due to unforeseen circumstances,
the roof is closed tonight.
**[08:03] Takaaki**
Now then, I'm about to make
a snack downstairs. Wanna come?
**[08:06] Naosuke**
Huh? I do, I do! I'm definitely in!
**[08:08] Yuma**
You don't mind?
**[08:09] Takaaki**
All righty, what do you feel like?
**[08:11] Naosuke**
I want meat! Meat!
**[08:12] Yuma**
Nao, be careful not to eat too much.
**[08:17] Takenaka**
* I'm at the usual place.*

**[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?
**[13:52] Naosuke**
In the footsteps of the Oniichans,
it's the kid bros' time to shine!
***SIGN*** Little
Brothers
**[13:55] Naosuke**
We're the Ototo Rangers!
**[13:58] Issa**
Huh?
**[13:59] Naosuke**
I've got a big sis. I'm Ototo Orange!
**[14:01] Ayumu**
I-I've got a big sis too. Ototo Blue!
**[14:03] Rui**
I love my big bro. I'm Ototo Green.
**[14:06] Nozomu**
Brotherly love! Ototo Red!
**[14:08] Issa**
Is this a joke?
**[14:10] Naosuke**
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!
**[14:23] Issa**
The hell are you doing? I'm out.
**[14:26] Takaaki**
Oh, come on. It sounds like fun.
**[14:34] Nozomu**
Top hits of the li'l bro experience!
**[14:35] Nozomu**
I'm Nozomu Nanase, and I'll go first!
**[14:38] Ototos**
Mm-hmm!
**[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?
**[20:38] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Wha—?
**[20:55] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Itsuki!
**[20:56] Takaaki (as Katsuragi)**
Hey, put it down.
**[20:58] Issa (as Itsuki)**
What we've been through...
**[21:00] Issa (as Itsuki)**
It's all his fault.
**[21:01] Criminal**
What's wrong? Can't pull the trigger?
**[21:04] Issa (as Itsuki)**
Shut up.
**[21:06] Criminal**
Shoot! Come on! You're no different from me!
**[21:11] Futaba (as Ryo)**
Don't do it, Itsuki!
**[21:14] Criminal**
Go ahead! Show us who you really are!
**[21:21] Issa**
Sorry to disappoint.
**[21:23] Issa**
I'll never be that person again.
**[21:27] Issa**
I've got someone who needs me here.
**[21:38] Director**
Cut! Okay. Good work, everyone!
**[21:41] Staff**
Good work!
**[21:46] Futaba**
I can't compete with you after all.
**[21:50] Issa**
Of course not. You'll never get
the better of your big brother.
**[22:11] [SONG] Lyrics**
Now I know why so much
fear slows down your life
**[22:16] [SONG] Lyrics**
It's from a dark past that
you can't cover or hide
**[22:21] [SONG] Lyrics**
Look straight at yourself,
see who you really are today
**[22:27] [SONG] Lyrics**
Grab the light inside the loneliness
that always clouds your way
**[22:32] [SONG] Lyrics**
Now count every line of tears
that still all show on your face
**[22:37] [SONG] Lyrics**
See the pain you embraced
but tried to paint a different shade
**[22:43] [SONG] Lyrics**
Betray that destiny, keep chasing
the strongest part of you
**[22:48] [SONG] Lyrics**
that's hidden from your view.
Be true to who we are!
**[22:54] [SONG] Lyrics**
Tie back together all the
threads that started to fray
**[22:59] [SONG] Lyrics**
Protect what's in our hearts,
a life of music we still have to show
**[23:05] [SONG] Lyrics**
The world will open itself up
to us when we look and know
**[23:11] [SONG] Lyrics**
that we're going to go so far,
we'll face our fears head on

no matter what the future holds

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?
**[21:46] Reiji**
Are you okay, Ayumu?!
**[22:00] [SONG] ---**
Your teardrops, in them I see
**[22:04] [SONG] ---**

**[00:11] Koduki**
The doctor said the fever should go
down with a couple days' rest.
**[00:16] Koduki**
I'll check on him as often as I can.
**[00:20] Reiji**
Manager.
**[00:23] Reiji**
Most of Ayumu's jobs are going
to need a substitute, right?
**[00:27] Koduki**
Oh... Yes.
**[00:29] Reiji**
Give me as many as you can.
**[00:31] Koduki**
Huh?
**[00:33] Reiji**
Just this once... let me cover for him.
**[00:56] [SONG] ---**
When you see the shooting star sparkle
**[00:59] [SONG] ---**
It's the sign of tomorrow's orbit
**[01:01] [SONG] ---**
Could it light up all the darkness
**[01:04] [SONG] ---**
of the stage for you to see?
**[01:06] [SONG] ---**
End of day, must not let it break down
**[01:09] [SONG] ---**
The flash point is just right ahead, yeah
**[01:11] [SONG] ---**
All my feelings are so unstoppable
**[01:14] [SONG] ---**
I scream them out into the sky
**[01:17] [SONG] ---**
The color of the night
you painted on that day
**[01:19] [SONG] ---**
We watched it as it turned into rain
**[01:21] [SONG] ---**
If that pain stayed with me,
I'd shake it off and say
**[01:24] [SONG] ---**
that this time will be my turn
**[01:27] [SONG] ---**
I know tomorrow will bring a story
**[01:29] [SONG] ---**
that will light the sky all the way
**[01:32] [SONG] ---**
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
**[01:34] [SONG] ---**
Shine it on!
**[01:36] [SONG] ---**
The light will show your way,
brighter, brighter
**[01:39] [SONG] ---**
Don't throw away your feelings
**[01:42] [SONG] ---**
Light shining so far, forever, never seen...
**[01:44] [SONG] ---**
...a soaring miracle so rightly
**[01:47] [SONG] ---**
Lead the way, brighter, brighter
**[01:49] [SONG] ---**
Free yourself, now let's go
**[01:52] [SONG] ---**
We are here, moving ahead
**[01:54] [SONG] ---**
It's now or never, stand up,
grab the glory stars
**[02:01] [SONG] ---**

***SIGN*** Enchant • Part Two
**[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*** Throat Drop
***SIGN*** Soothing Relief!
**[11:56] Ayumu**
I'm sure Reiji can handle the work,
but I hope he doesn't overdo it.
**[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
Shoyu Flavor
**[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!
**[21:23] Ayumu**
I-Is this the man I am?
**[21:25] Reiji**
See? Now you're a beautiful lady
who will enchant everyone you meet!
**[21:29] Reiji**
Things are looking up for tomorrow!
**[21:32] Reiji**
Huh? "Man"?
**[21:34] Ayumu**
"Lady"?
**[21:38] Reiji**
See? Now you're a beautiful gentleman
who will enchant everyone you meet!
**[21:42] Ayumu**
You said it differently!
**[21:44] Ayumu**
But, hey, this isn't bad.
**[21:47] Reiji**
*Cast a spell on everyone around you.*
**[21:50] Ayumu**
* A magic that will make the*
* you of tomorrow sparkle.*
**[21:53] Reiji & Ayumu**
Just for you. Illusion Kiss.

heavy and so hard to start, yeah

I'm right with you, let's go

Then next the sky, and up to space

Oh, Yuma. Where's the young master?
**[02:20] Yuma**
Oh, I think I know where.
**[02:23] Servant**
Yuma is always so dependable.
**[02:27] Naosuke's Dad**
Is Naosuke off hiding somewhere again?
**[02:29] Naosuke's Dad**
My goodness. The moment I look
away, he gets into trouble.
**[02:33] Naosuke's Mom**
That's right. He's just like his father.
**[02:35] Naosuke's Mom**
We're lucky we have Yuma to look after him.
**[02:38] Naosuke's Dad**
We sure are.
**[02:39] Naosuke's Dad**
I was a little worried
when we first took him in.
**[02:42] Naosuke's Mom**
But his injuries healed up and
he grew into such a nice boy.
**[02:47] Naosuke's Mom**
It must have been fate. Those two
are just like real brothers now.
**[02:53] Naosuke**
Tch... It's too foggy to see anything.
**[02:57] Naosuke**
Hey, Vazz, cut it out!

That's dangerous. Hey!

Hey. You finish choppin' the wood?
**[03:06] Brat B**
You better get it done!
**[03:08] Yuma**
I was looking for Nao-sama...
**[03:10] Brat C**
"Nao-sama"? Don't you mean
Young Master Naosuke?
**[03:12] Brat C**
Watch your tongue.
**[03:14] Yuma**
But Nao-sama said it was okay.
**[03:16] Brat A**
You liar! You've got a lot
of nerve for an orphan.
**[03:21] Yuma**
G-Give that back!
**[03:22] Brat A**
Take it back. If you can.
**[03:24] Naosuke**
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
**[03:28] Brat B**
Y-Young Master?
**[03:29] Naosuke**
Give it back!
**[03:30] Brat A**
W-We didn't mean anything! We just...
**[03:33] Naosuke**
Hand it over.

Here, Yuma.
**[03:41] Yuma**
Th-Thank you very much... Nao-sama.
**[03:45] Naosuke**

You're my brother and best friend, Yuma.

And this is the center of the world!

The island of Mushiki, where the
Tsukihana Matsuri is held every four years.
**[04:56] Yuma**
Oh, the Moonflower Festival,
**[04:58] Yuma**
where people dance for the
honor of their country.
**[05:01] Yuma**
Nao-sama, will you one day
become a dancer for our land?
**[05:04] Naosuke**
Uh-uh. I don't want to be a dancer.
I want *this*!
**[05:08] Naosuke**
I want to become a warrior for Shikkoku!

**[05:11] Naosuke**
When I went to the Tsukihana Matsuri
as a kid and almost got into a fight,
**[05:15] Naosuke**
warriors saved me, and they were *so* cool!
**[05:18] Naosuke**
That's when I decided it was my dream.
**[05:22] Yuma**
Warriors...
**[05:27] Naosuke**
Warriors train by traveling the
land and helping people in need.
**[05:31] Naosuke**
They carry a special seal and... Oh.
**[05:34] Naosuke**
Sorry, I was talking too much.
**[05:36] Yuma**
No, not at all!
**[05:37] Yuma**
I think warriors are cool too.
**[05:40] Naosuke**
You do?
**[05:41] Naosuke**
Wanna practice sword fighting with me?
**[05:44] Yuma**
Yes, of course!
***SIGN*** Ten Years Later
**[05:52] Naosuke**
All right. Time for a break.
**[05:54] Yuma**
Certainly, Nao-sama.
**[05:55] Naosuke's Mom**
Oh my, what perfect timing.
**[05:58] Naosuke's Mom**
The astrologer from the capital is visiting.
**[06:01] Naosuke**
Oh, Takaaki-san is here?
**[06:03] Naosuke**
All right! Let's go, Yuma.
**[06:05] Yuma**
Sure.
**[06:06] Naosuke**
It's been so long!
**[06:17] Takaaki**
Phew! All done with work.
**[06:19] Takaaki**
I suppose all's right with the world, then.
**[06:23] Takaaki**
Thanks for waiting, Ouka-chan.
**[06:25] Ouka**
I wasn't waiting for you.
**[06:26] Takaaki**
There you go again.
**[06:28] Takaaki**
Since we don't get out on trips
often, shall we visit home?
**[06:31] Ouka**
Huh? Home?
**[06:33] Takaaki**
Yeah. The cave where
destiny threw us together.
**[06:37] Takaaki**
It's practically where you grew up, right?
**[06:39] Ouka**
Don't be stupid. I was trapped in there.
**[06:43] Ouka**
I don't want to go anywhere near it.
**[06:45] Takaaki**
I was just kidding.
**[06:47] Naosuke**
Excuse us!
**[06:49] Naosuke**
Hello, Takaaki-san.
**[06:50] Takaaki**
Oh, I'm glad you came, youngsters!
**[06:53] Yuma**
Takaaki-sama, it's good to see you again.
**[06:55] Takaaki**
Just call me Takaaki-san.
**[06:57] Takaaki**
Didn't I tell you to drop the formalities?
**[07:00] Yuma**
I can't do that to you.
**[07:02] Yuma**
You're the capital's official
astrologer, after all.
**[07:04] Naosuke**
Takaaki-san, is it true you went to
Shikkoku and returned with warriors?
**[07:08] Takaaki**
Yes, it sure is.
**[07:10] Naosuke**
Wow! I wish I could meet them!
**[07:13] Takaaki**
You never change, Naosuke.
**[07:15] Takaaki**
You've been asking me about warriors
since you were only this tall.
**[07:19] Naosuke**
Of course! I've never given up
on my dream of becoming one.
**[07:23] Takaaki**
That's your dream, is it?
**[07:25] Takaaki**
But does a peaceful country like
this have any use for warriors?
**[07:28] Naosuke**
I want to see more of the
world with my own eyes.
**[07:32] Naosuke**
I want to become a warrior, travel around,
**[07:34] Naosuke**
and become strong enough
to help the weak and unfortunate.
**[07:38] Takaaki**
I see.
**[07:39] Takaaki**
It is true that the valiant warriors of
Shikkoku travel the continent
**[07:42] Takaaki**
trying to make the world a better place.
**[07:45] Takaaki**
But the path to becoming
one is anything but easy.
**[07:49] Naosuke**
I'm prepared for that.
**[07:50] Naosuke**
I know, Takaaki-san! Will you do a reading
to see if I'll become a warrior or not?
**[07:55] Takaaki**
Hmm.
**[07:56] Naosuke**
Oh!
**[07:57] Naosuke**
You surprised me.
**[07:59] Ouka**
Humans say the strangest things.
**[08:02] Ouka**
The stars cannot tell your fate;
only your destiny.
**[08:06] Ouka**
If you truly have the will, you shouldn't
need our prediction to follow that path.
**[08:12] Naosuke**
B-But that's...
**[08:15] Takaaki**
It's exactly as Ouka says.
**[08:17] Takaaki**
Your destiny is not necessarily your future.
**[08:19] Takaaki**
It can change completely depending
on your willpower and efforts.
**[08:23] Naosuke**
Can it? Maybe you're right.
**[08:26] Naosuke**
Very well. I will find my path by myself.
**[08:30] Takaaki**
And what about you, Yuma?
What do you want to be in the future?
**[08:34] Yuma**
All I want is to stay with Nao-sama.
**[08:37] Naosuke**
Yuma!
**[08:39] Takaaki**
You are both still young.
**[08:41] Takaaki**
Take care of your responsibilities
while you search out your path in life.
**[08:45] Naosuke & Yuma**
Okay!
**[08:51] Naosuke**
Takaaki-san and Ouka-san
never change, do they?
**[08:54] Yuma**
You're right.
**[08:57] Coachman**
Move it! Move it! Clear the road!

I must apologize.

My thoughtless actions put
you directly in harm's way.

**[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.
**[17:19] Takaaki**
Well then, here it is.
***SIGN*** To Lord Shou Onoda
**[17:23] Naosuke**
Okay! I'll make sure it gets there.
**[17:26] Naosuke**
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!
**[18:13] Shumei**
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.
***SIGN*** The Country of Botan
**[19:20] Yuma**
Futaba-san.
**[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...
**[20:59] Issa**
Hey, wake up!
**[21:00] Futaba**
Huh? What?
**[21:11] Naosuke**
What's happening?
**[21:12] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[21:12] Issa**
You guys stay back!
**[21:14] Issa**
Futaba, we're on!
**[21:16] Futaba**
Okay.
**[21:18] Naosuke**
What the heck is happening?
**[21:19] Yuma**
Nao-sama! Over here!
**[21:23] Yuma**
Wait!
**[21:26] Warlock**
Ignore the redhead.
**[21:29] Naosuke**
Are these guys after Yuma?
**[21:33] Naosuke**
Why, you...
**[21:35] Warlock**
Finish him.
**[21:37] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[21:45] Naosuke**
Not on my watch!
**[21:47] Yuma**
Nao-sama!
**[21:51] Yuma**
Nao-sama!

dancer in Botan, Ayumu-kun.
**[00:54] Reiji**
You sure put in the hours.
**[00:57] Ayumu**
Of course I do. The festival's coming up.
**[01:00] Ayumu**
And you're going to play around
all night again? Come on.
**[01:04] Reiji**
Playing is my job, so it's okay.
**[01:07] Reiji**
Don't work so hard you pass out, okay?
**[01:11] Ayumu**
Mind your own business.
**[01:15] Reiji**
Hey. How's it going, you two?
**[01:18] Gaku**
Reiji? Did Shou ask you to come as well?
**[01:21] Reiji**
Well, yeah. Does that mean
he asked you guys too?
**[01:24] Shou**
Hey.
**[01:26] Shou**
Hello, patrolmen of Botan,
the largest pleasure district in the west.
**[01:30] Shou**
Are festival preparations coming along?
**[01:32] Ruka**
Yeah! Right on schedule!
**[01:34] Reiji**
The inns are all booked up.
**[01:36] Reiji**
It's bound to be a success.
**[01:38] Shou**
That's good to hear.
**[01:39] Gaku**
Has something happened?
**[01:41] Shou**
Hmm... Has it happened,
or is it going to happen?
**[01:45] Reiji**
Huh?
**[01:46] Ruka**
There it is! Shou-kun's sixth sense!
**[01:49] Haruto**
Shou...
**[01:50] Haruto**
I mean Boss! Something's happened!

See what I mean?

**[02:20] [SONG] ---**
Catch up with and overtake
**[02:23] [SONG] ---**
Get a brand new world
**[02:25] [SONG] ---**
I put my foot down and push off,
but the pedal feels so
**[02:28] [SONG] ---**
heavy and so hard to start, yeah
**[02:31] [SONG] ---**
But once I get going you'll see
**[02:33] [SONG] ---**
I'm not moving slow
**[02:36] [SONG] ---**
I'm right with you, let's go
**[02:38] [SONG] ---**
Race all the way up the hill, see the view
**[02:41] [SONG] ---**
I know you feel the awe
**[02:43] [SONG] ---**
'Cause everywhere we go
**[02:45] [SONG] ---**
Shines bright for me and you
**[02:50] [SONG] ---**
Fly high, far as we can go
**[02:53] [SONG] ---**
Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
**[02:56] [SONG] ---**
Then next the sky, and up to space
**[02:58] [SONG] ---**
No delay
**[03:00] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!
**[03:01] [SONG] ---**
With wind at our backs,
faster than a highway
**[03:04] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[03:07] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[03:10] [SONG] ---**
We're grabbing victory today
**[03:12] [SONG] ---**
Fly away!

If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to

send you miracles, come what may
**[03:18] [SONG] ---**

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.

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,
**[22:12] [SONG] ---**
I hear them fading away
**[22:15] [SONG] ---**
The days don't mean much to me anymore
**[22:23] [SONG] ---**
Around the next corner I can't hear or see,
**[22:27] [SONG] ---**
even though I try to follow
**[22:31] [SONG] ---**
The way is always dark without you,
**[22:33] [SONG] ---**
like day is gone
**[22:37] [SONG] ---**
But when you're there, reaching out,
to hold onto me,
**[22:42] [SONG] ---**
I never saw someone so bright
**[22:46] [SONG] ---**
You carry the sun into my life
**[22:52] [SONG] ---**
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
**[23:11] [SONG] ---**
gardens blossoming around me
**[23:15] [SONG] ---**
We'll count the brilliant
tomorrows blooming on the way,
**[23:22] [SONG] ---**
every step through life with you

**[00:01] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
Wow, is elementary school that much fun?
**[00:04] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
Yeah! You and Yuya should come too!
**[00:07] (Flashback) Eita (kid)**
They can't until next year.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
I can't wait to go!
**[00:11] (Flashback) Yuya (kid)**
I want one of those school backpacks!
**[00:14] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
They're so cool, right?
**[00:16] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
Oh, yeah! We even got homework today.
**[00:18] (Flashback) Eita (kid)**
To write about what we want
to be when we grow up.
**[00:21] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
Yeah. I wanna be a super cool hero!
**[00:25] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
I'll transform in a flash and turn
into a really strong magician
**[00:29] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
and a cook that can make anything!
**[00:32] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
Wow!
**[00:33] (Flashback) Yuya (kid)**
That's awesome! What about you, Eita?
**[00:36] (Flashback) Eita (kid)**
I think I'll be a businessman. Like my dad.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Yuya (kid)**
Me? I'm gonna be a space policeman!
**[00:42] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
What about you, Gaku-kun?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
**[00:45] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
Huh?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
Um... I don't know yet.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
I wanna watch you become a superhero
so I can say you're awesome!
**[00:53] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
Huh? That's not the same thing.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
But I like it!
**[00:58] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
I knew you would!
**[01:17] [SONG] ---**
When you see the shooting star sparkle
**[01:20] [SONG] ---**
It's the sign of tomorrow's orbit
**[01:22] [SONG] ---**
Could it light up all the darkness
**[01:25] [SONG] ---**
of the stage for you to see?
**[01:27] [SONG] ---**
End of day, must not let it break down
**[01:30] [SONG] ---**
The flash point is just right ahead, yeah
**[01:32] [SONG] ---**
All my feelings are so unstoppable
**[01:35] [SONG] ---**
I scream them out into the sky
**[01:38] [SONG] ---**
The color of the night
you painted on that day
**[01:40] [SONG] ---**
We watched it as it turned into rain
**[01:42] [SONG] ---**
If that pain stayed with me,
I'd shake it off and say
**[01:45] [SONG] ---**
that this time will be my turn
**[01:47] [SONG] ---**
I know tomorrow will bring a story
**[01:50] [SONG] ---**
that will light the sky all the way
**[01:53] [SONG] ---**
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
**[01:55] [SONG] ---**
Shine it on!
**[01:57] [SONG] ---**
The light will show your way,
brighter, brighter
**[02:00] [SONG] ---**
Don't throw away your feelings
**[02:03] [SONG] ---**
Light shining so far, forever, never seen...
**[02:05] [SONG] ---**
...a soaring miracle so rightly
**[02:08] [SONG] ---**
Lead the way, brighter, brighter
**[02:10] [SONG] ---**
Free yourself, now let's go

Hello, everyone!
***SIGN*** Sing of the Moon, Dance in the Flowers
***SIGN*** Tsukihana Kagura
**[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
and take your breath away!
**[03:36] Ruka**
We're bringing dance and action and
all sorts of stuff to the stage!
**[03:39] Ruka**
It's gonna be great!
**[03:40] Gaku & Ruka**
We'll see you at the theater!
***SIGN*** Sing of the Moon, Dance in the Flowers
***SIGN*** Tsukihana Kagura
**[03:43] Yuya**
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
is normal for you, I guess.
**[14:03] Gaku**
The heck do you mean?
**[14:05] Ruka**
Yeah, I know, right? I do, but...
**[14:09] Ruka**
I don't know how to say it!
**[14:11] Gaku**
Ru?

We're home!
**[14:17] Gaku**
Ru, you wanna eat together again?
**[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.
**[16:41] Ruka**
Wow, this brings back memories!
***SIGN*** Nadumi

**[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)**
Ru!
**[18:34] (Flashback) Ruka (kid)**
Gaku-kun!
**[18:41] (Flashback) Gaku (kid)**
I got this!
**[18:50] (Flashback) 3rd grader**
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
***SIGN*** Oguro
**[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**
Anyway, I just gotta do the best
I can to try and keep up with Ru.
**[20:05] Ruka**
I get it now.
***SIGN*** Eita
***SIGN*** In call
**[20:07] Eita**
*Hmm?*
**[20:07] Ruka**
It's me.
**[20:08] Eita**
*Huh? What is?*
**[20:10] Ruka**
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!
**[21:03] Ruka**
Now I'll be able to put all
my energy into the play.

Good.
**[21:22] Gaku**
Ru?
**[21:25] Ruka**
Morning, Gaku-kun!
**[21:26] Gaku**
Morning, Ru.
**[21:28] Gaku**
You're sure in a good mood.
**[21:29] Ruka**
Heh heh heh.
**[21:31] Ruka**
Now that I figured it all out,
I'm not scared of anything!
**[21:35] Ruka**
I'll be the best costar I can!

I'm not sure what happened, but great.

When I need to laugh with you,
I see clear skies and lift my head

**[00:11] Actor 2**
Even the way his yukata flows is beautiful.
**[00:14] Actor 2**
It'll be amazing to see this in full costume.
**[00:18] Actor 1**
Tsukihana Kagura really is
all about the dance.
**[00:22] Actor 1**
It brings the costumes to life.
**[00:24] Actor 1**
Of course, Ruka's performance adds to it.
**[00:27] Actor 2**
Man, it's going to be hard to match that.
**[00:30] Gaku**
Yeah.
**[00:31] Gaku**
I'm gonna have to work extra hard too.
**[00:52] [SONG] ---**
When you see the shooting star sparkle
**[00:55] [SONG] ---**
It's the sign of tomorrow's orbit
**[00:57] [SONG] ---**
Could it light up all the darkness

**[01:02] [SONG] ---**
End of day, must not let it break down
**[01:05] [SONG] ---**
The flash point is just right ahead, yeah
**[01:07] [SONG] ---**
All my feelings are so unstoppable
**[01:10] [SONG] ---**
I scream them out into the sky
**[01:13] [SONG] ---**
The color of the night
you painted on that day
**[01:15] [SONG] ---**
We watched it as it turned into rain
**[01:17] [SONG] ---**
If that pain stayed with me,
I'd shake it off and say
**[01:20] [SONG] ---**
that this time will be my turn

I know tomorrow will bring a story

**[02:08] Choreographer**
That's it. Keep your back straight.
**[02:11] Choreographer**
Be careful not to lean back.
**[02:15] Gaku**
Ouch... This part is tough.
**[02:19] Choreographer**
You've got the moves down.
**[02:20] Choreographer**
Now you just need to limber up some.
**[02:23] Gaku**
Limber up some, huh?
**[02:25] Gaku**
That'll be hard since I'm so stiff.
**[02:28] Actors**
Oh!
**[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.
**[05:16] Ruka**
We'd better go get warmed up!
**[05:18] Gaku**
Yeah.
**[05:21] Actor 1**
Hey, did you hear how much
Gaku was praising Ruka?
**[05:26] Actor 2**
Yeah.
**[05:52] Ruka**
Gaku-kun is such a cool fighter!
**[05:55] Actor 1**
Gaku's got some moves too...
**[05:58] Actor 1**
From where I stand, they're both great.
**[06:01] Actor 2**
I couldn't agree more.
**[06:04] Ruka**
Good job today, Gaku-kun.
**[06:05] Gaku**
You too.
**[06:07] Ruka**
I'm ready to get going.
**[06:09] Gaku**
Ah, about that...
**[06:12] Gaku**
I've gotta hit the office for something.
**[06:15] Gaku**
Go on home without me.
**[06:16] Ruka**
Oh, really? Well, I'll go with you.
**[06:19] Gaku**
Nah, it isn't a big deal.
I'd rather go alone.
**[06:22] Ruka**
I mean, you sure?
Then I guess we aren't eating together...
**[06:26] Gaku**
Sorry, I hope that's okay.
**[06:28] Gaku**
See you.
**[06:29] Ruka**
Sure.
**[06:31] Ruka**
See you later.
**[06:36] Gaku**
Now then...
**[06:38] Gaku**
Back to work.
**[06:47] Ruka**
Gaku-kun seemed kinda
strange today. Is it my fault?
**[06:51] Reiji**
Oh, Ruka. You just get back?
**[06:53] Reiji & Ayumu**
Welcome home.
**[06:54] Koduki**
Welcome home.
**[06:56] Ruka**
Welcome home, guys.
**[06:57] Ruka**
How are the VAZZROCK Live rehearsals?
**[06:59] Reiji**
We're really starting to get somewhere!
**[07:02] Ayumu**
There are a few overall
changes we need to make.
**[07:04] Ayumu**
I'll send you all the details later.
**[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!

Whoa oh
**[00:52] [SONG] VAZZY**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
**[00:55] [SONG] VAZZY**
Catch up with and overtake
**[00:57] [SONG] VAZZY**
Get a brand new world
**[01:00] [SONG] Takaaki**
I put my foot down and push off,
but the pedal feels so
**[01:03] [SONG] Takaaki**
heavy and so hard to start, yeah
**[01:06] [SONG] Ouka**
But once I get going you'll see
**[01:08] [SONG] Issa**
I'm not moving slow
**[01:10] [SONG] Futaba**
I'm right with you, let's go
**[01:13] [SONG] Naosuke**
Race all the way up the hill, see the view
**[01:16] [SONG] Naosuke**
I know you feel the awe
**[01:18] [SONG] Yuma**
'Cause everywhere we go
**[01:20] [SONG] VAZZY**
Shines bright for me and you
**[01:25] [SONG] VAZZY then Yuma?**
Fly high, far as we can go
**[01:28] [SONG] VAZZY then Takaaki?**
Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
**[01:30] [SONG] VAZZY**
Then next the sky, and up to space
**[01:33] [SONG] VAZZY**
No delay
**[01:35] [SONG] VAZZY**
Fly away!
**[01:36] [SONG] VAZZY**
With wind at our backs,
faster than a highway
**[01:39] [SONG] VAZZY**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[01:42] [SONG] VAZZY**
Soon everyone will know
**[01:45] [SONG] VAZZY**
We're grabbing victory today
**[01:47] [SONG] VAZZY**
Fly away
**[01:48] [SONG] VAZZY**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[01:51] [SONG] VAZZY**
send you miracles, come what may
**[01:53] [SONG] VAZZY**
And that's because we
**[01:54] [SONG] VAZZY**
never give up, never give up
**[01:56] [SONG] VAZZY**
We're free and the sun is lighting our way
**[02:42] [SONG] Shou**
When you see the shooting star sparkle
**[02:45] [SONG] Haruto**
It's the sign of tomorrow's orbit
**[02:47] [SONG] Reiji**
Could it light up all the darkness
**[02:50] [SONG] Reiji**
of the stage for you to see?
**[02:52] [SONG] Gaku**
End of day, must not let it break down
**[02:55] [SONG] Ruka**
The flash point is just right ahead, yeah
**[02:57] [SONG] Shou?**
All my feelings are so unstoppable
**[03:00] [SONG] Shou?**
I scream them out into the sky
**[03:03] [SONG] Haruto**
The color of the night
you painted on that day
**[03:05] [SONG] Haruto?**
We watched it as it turned into rain
**[03:08] [SONG] Reiji?**
If that pain stayed with me,
I'd shake it off and say
**[03:10] [SONG] Reiji?**
that this time will be my turn
**[03:12] [SONG] Ruka?**
I know tomorrow will bring a story
**[03:15] [SONG] Ruka?**
that will light the sky all the way
**[03:18] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
**[03:20] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
Shine it on!
**[03:22] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
The light will show your way,
brighter, brighter
**[03:25] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
Don't throw away your feelings
**[03:28] [SONG] Ayumu**
Light shining so far, forever, never seen...
**[03:30] [SONG] Reiji**
...a soaring miracle so rightly
**[03:33] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
Lead the way, brighter, brighter
**[03:35] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
Free yourself, now let's go
**[03:38] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
We are here, moving ahead
**[03:40] [SONG] ROCK DOWN**
It's now or never, stand up,
grab the glory stars

Totally asterism
**[04:00] Takaaki**
Good evening!

introductions out of the way.

I'm Ayumu Tachibana of ROCK DOWN.

Raise those lights and feel
the music in your body, okay?
**[07:10] Takaaki**
The twelve of us are here to shine for you.
**[07:13] Takaaki**
I think we're all ready...
**[07:15] Takaaki**
to have some fun!
**[07:18] Shou**
Let's go!
**[07:19] Shou**
Follow your heart to the music!

It's just one of those days

Oh shout it, shout it

No clue about it all
**[08:14] [SONG] text**
"Blinding lights" by Ouka Kira
**[08:15] [SONG] Ouka**
Is anything truth, or just a show?
**[08:18] [SONG] Ouka**
If you don't stop my fall,
**[08:20] [SONG] Ouka**
I'll become lost inside my soul
**[08:23] [SONG] Ouka**
Got to break from the past and let it go
**[08:25] [SONG] Ouka**
Or we cannot succeed, the dream will die
**[08:29] [SONG] Ouka**
I'm always, you should know,
**[08:31] [SONG] Ouka**
Still searching for our tomorrow
**[08:35] [SONG] Ouka**
Coming days when our light will glow,
**[08:38] [SONG] Ouka**
Crumbling truths I can't bear to show,
**[08:40] [SONG] Ouka**
Get still mixed up together now
**[08:44] [SONG] Ouka**
In ways that I can't fully know
**[08:46] [SONG] Ouka**
Could your light, bright, guiding me
**[08:49] [SONG] Ouka**
Lead me out of the darkest hole?
**[08:52] [SONG] Ouka**
So like the shining moon keep showing me
**[08:57] [SONG] Ouka**
Your awesome blinding lights
**[09:02] [SONG] Ouka**
Oh-oh-oh-oh

"Passion Groove!" by Haruto Kujikawa
**[09:58] [SONG] Haruto**
you don't make it easy with your high pride
**[10:00] [SONG] Haruto**
Why don't you let it go,
just have a good time, yo
**[10:02] [SONG] Haruto**
that's your heart calling, knock knock
**[10:04] [SONG] Haruto**
You're too blue to take all of it on
**[10:08] [SONG] Haruto**
Just think about it simply
**[10:12] [SONG] Haruto**
Or just dance to the beat, none
of this is as hard as you thought
**[10:17] [SONG] Haruto**
Make it happen, okay, let's go
then one, two, shout it out!
**[10:21] [SONG] Haruto**
Just follow your heart and
let your feelings all go
**[10:25] [SONG] Haruto**
Just follow your heart,
the tension is a crescendo

Your hands were never tied
Music is free, so are you
**[10:33] [SONG] Haruto**
And that's why you always
shine light so brightly
**[10:37] [SONG] Haruto**
Music is your heartbeat, passion groove

"Why You Make Me Happy" by Futaba Kiduku
**[10:46] [SONG] Futaba**
You're a dream of a puzzle so
**[10:49] [SONG] Futaba**
when I find the last piece
I know right where it goes
**[10:52] [SONG] Futaba**
Your smile shines so brightly
**[10:55] [SONG] Futaba**
Do you see me in the shadows around you?
**[10:58] [SONG] Futaba**
But that's why you make me happy, tick-tock
**[11:02] [SONG] Futaba**
As time goes by I really do know
**[11:05] [SONG] Futaba**
why I always want to stay by your side
**[11:08] [SONG] Futaba**
and feel your glow
**[11:11] [SONG] Futaba**
Although all my feelings can get so deep the
**[11:15] [SONG] Futaba**
brooding in my heart starts to show
**[11:17] [SONG] Futaba**
I can't stand to be around
you and still hide the reason
**[11:21] [SONG] Futaba**
I feel this way
**[11:24] [SONG] Futaba**
I'll keep standing by your

I feel this way

Now count every line of tears
that still all show on your face

"Escape" by Issa Kiduku
**[11:39] [SONG] Issa**
See the pain you embraced
but tried to paint a different shade
**[11:44] [SONG] Issa**
Betray that destiny, keep chasing
the strongest part of you
**[11:49] [SONG] Issa**
that's hidden from your view.
Be true to who we are!
**[11:55] [SONG] Issa**
Tie back together all the
threads that started to fray
**[12:00] [SONG] Issa**
Protect what's in our hearts,
a life of music we still have to show
**[12:06] [SONG] Issa**
The world will open itself up
to us when we look and know
**[12:13] [SONG] Issa**
that we're going to go so far,
we'll face our fears head on
**[12:18] [SONG] Issa**
no matter what the future holds

What can I say, no matter what I try,
**[12:37] [SONG] Reiji**
shining so brightly, I can't
find my way without you, no
**[12:40] [SONG] Reiji**

Have I lost my mind, always on the edge,
**[12:46] [SONG] Reiji**
head is in the clouds, can't

"Stay" by Ayumu Tachibana
**[13:18] [SONG] Ayumu**
Reality is running from me while
**[13:21] [SONG] Ayumu**
I keep trying to follow you
**[13:24] [SONG] Ayumu**
to gaze at your sparkling, tear-filled face
**[13:26] [SONG] Ayumu**
The places we could never reach
**[13:29] [SONG] Ayumu**
start disappearing from our view
**[13:32] [SONG] Ayumu**
When all of our frustrations go
**[13:35] [SONG] Ayumu**
out and on full display
**[13:37] [SONG] Ayumu**
The place we need to return to,
**[13:41] [SONG] Ayumu**
we'll reach it together, you'll see
**[13:43] [SONG] Ayumu**
Even if we have to drag
**[13:46] [SONG] Ayumu**
each other's broken, sore bodies
**[13:49] [SONG] Ayumu**
Our hearts are still connected, me and you
**[13:54] [SONG] Ayumu**
And tomorrow's a brand new day
**[13:57] [SONG] Ayumu**
Together our dreams will start to glow
**[14:00] [SONG] Ayumu**
I still know who you are to me

Stay that way

"Smile again" by Naosuke Oyama
**[14:11] [SONG] Naosuke**
Thinking of you, these feelings,
oh, are too much to lock up
**[14:17] [SONG] Naosuke**
No, please don't go, only you keep me alive
**[14:20] [SONG] Naosuke**
Keep on holding hands this way
**[14:24] [SONG] Naosuke**
The light you bring to my soul
is bright as the day
**[14:29] [SONG] Naosuke**
Smile again!
**[14:32] [SONG] Naosuke**
Nobody else is strong as you
**[14:34] [SONG] Naosuke**
I know that deep inside my heart
**[14:37] [SONG] Naosuke**
Oh, when our eyes lock together
**[14:41] [SONG] Naosuke**
Smile again!
**[14:43] [SONG] Naosuke**
As if flying across the sea,
**[14:46] [SONG] Naosuke**
you and me can go wherever we want
**[14:49] [SONG] Naosuke**
I still wish the years would pass
slower but I want you to know
**[14:53] [SONG] Naosuke**
On the road ahead,
I'll follow anywhere you go
**[14:58] [SONG] Naosuke**
And our smiles will show that

"Lucida" by Yuma Shirase
**[15:11] [SONG] Yuma**
I never saw someone so bright
**[15:15] [SONG] Yuma**
You carry the sun into my life
**[15:21] [SONG] Yuma**
If you let the sadness catch up,
**[15:25] [SONG] Yuma**
tears keep chasing you forever
**[15:29] [SONG] Yuma**
But I will wipe them all away,
wait for a brighter day,
**[15:33] [SONG] Yuma**
and keep walking with you together
**[15:36] [SONG] Yuma**
All the hopes you're bearing seed the
**[15:40] [SONG] Yuma**
gardens blossoming around me

We'll count the brilliant
tomorrows blooming on the way,

every step through life with you

When it's hard to see, when it's tough for me

"It's All Good" by Ruka Nadumi
**[16:03] [SONG] Ruka**
I imagine your face as you're gazing afar
**[16:06] [SONG] Ruka**
That look means you're so thoughtful,
keeping your heart right to see us through
**[16:12] [SONG] Ruka**
So I know we'll make it far
**[16:17] [SONG] Ruka**
So it's all good, it's all good, it's all good
**[16:21] [SONG] Ruka**
'Cause you and me are here standing together
**[16:25] [SONG] Ruka**
It's all good, it's all good, it's all good

We're good forever and ever, I know

"Pride of the Flowers" by Gaku Oguro
**[16:47] [SONG] Gaku**
Bringing forth a warning and knowledge
**[16:49] [SONG] Gaku**
Of the power of the dance and of the song
**[16:53] [SONG] Gaku**
Oh you, lost upon the opposite shore,
**[16:56] [SONG] Gaku**
must have your own reason why
you cannot give up the fight
**[16:58] [SONG] Gaku**
When the souls draw together
**[17:01] [SONG] Gaku**
They make their stand
**[17:03] [SONG] Gaku**
Sheathed in gardens of colors abloom
**[17:06] [SONG] Gaku**
Of the moon, sing at last
of the weight of the past
**[17:09] [SONG] Gaku**
Sing forth to the moonlight a great ode
**[17:12] [SONG] Gaku**
The age red flowers burned,
we'll not let it return
**[17:14] [SONG] Gaku**
Instead dance the Kagura's so sacred colors
**[17:17] [SONG] Gaku**
And the wise ones who show
what happens tomorrow
**[17:20] [SONG] Gaku**
Have no vision to tell us which way it will go
**[17:22] [SONG] Gaku**
A peaceful new time is up to you and I
**[17:25] [SONG] Gaku**
It's the season for our
lovely flowers to blossom
**[17:28] [SONG] Gaku**
We are the pride of the flowers that grow
**[17:37] Takaaki**
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.
**[20:46] Shou**
So, all together...
**[20:48] Takaaki & Shou**
To a brighter tomorrow!
**[21:08] [SONG] Takaaki**
Sunshine! Not a cloud in the sky
**[21:12] [SONG] Shou**
I'm getting dressed up
because it's a sunny day
**[21:16] [SONG] Ouka**
Good feeling!
With you here right by me
**[21:20] [SONG] Haruto**
Being wherever you are,
nothing makes me happier
**[21:24] [SONG] Issa**
I know that my feelings
**[21:27] [SONG] Reiji**
Totally what I want
**[21:28] [SONG] Futaba**
Won't get to you in time
**[21:31] [SONG] Ayumu**
You know, but hey
**[21:32] [SONG] Naosuke**
Gonna find the right key
**[21:34] [SONG] Gaku**
One that will unlock you
**[21:36] [SONG] Yuma**
So that next time
**[21:38] [SONG] Ruka**
I'll be able to get my message through
**[21:41] [SONG] VAZZROCK**
Hey, I can't stop dancing
**[21:44] [SONG] VAZZROCK**

So let's get on the dance floor

thoughts behind in yesterday

Cloudy! You just gotta own

The dark days too, you know
**[22:11] [SONG] Yuma**
Sometimes those can be okay
**[22:13] [SONG] Gaku**
Let's enjoy being together
**[22:17] [SONG] Naosuke**
Have you ever really thought
I might be everything you want?
**[22:22] [SONG] Ayumu**
I know every time we meet
**[22:24] [SONG] Futaba**
There's a good reason why
**[22:26] [SONG] Reiji**
It's so in the cards
**[22:28] [SONG] Issa**
That's why I say
**[22:29] [SONG] Haruto**
Nothing's gonna stop it
**[22:31] [SONG] Ouka**
Soon I know we'll get to
**[22:33] [SONG] Shou**
Spend our time together
**[22:35] [SONG] Takaaki**
I can't imagine a better day
**[22:38] [SONG] VAZZROCK**
Hey, I can't stop singing
**[22:41] [SONG] VAZZROCK**
When you're singing in your heart
**[22:43] [SONG] VAZZROCK**
It makes me so happy I start smiling too, oh!
