**[00:08] Yohane**
This world is a song.
**[00:11] Yohane**
Happiness, sadness, rage, screams...
**[00:17] Yohane**
All can become a song.
**[00:20] Yohane**
Songs change over time...
**[00:23] Yohane**
Just like flowing water.
**[00:27] Yohane**
The world is a song.
**[00:33] Yohane**
And...
**[00:38] Yohane**
We are a new song.
**[00:49] Song**
...carried by a blue wind
**[00:52] Song**
Bloom gloriously, my song,
toward an unknown world

**[00:59] [SONG] Song**
Far, far away...
**[01:13] Yohane**
Thank you very much.
**[01:14] Judge A**
Great job.
**[01:17] Judge A**
You're very good, but maybe you
overexerted yourself a bit.
**[01:21] Yohane**
Well, I wanted to give it my all.
**[01:25] Judge B**
What are your dreams for the future?
**[01:27] Yohane**
Well...
**[01:29] Yohane**
I want to make it big in this city,
fill up this venue,
**[01:34] Yohane**
and eventually do a solo show at the Dome...
**[01:37] Yohane**
I, Yohane, will be a huge
star in the future,
**[01:40] Yohane**
so now's the best time
**[01:41] Yohane**
to ask for an autograph.
***SIGN*** FAIL
***SIGN*** FAIL
**[01:47] Yohane**
But why?
**[01:48] Yohane**
Things were going so well and they
even acknowledged how good I was!
**[01:51] Yohane**
Is there some conspiracy?
**[01:53] Yohane**
Or did they just have something against me?!
**[02:08] Yohane**
Mother... Why don't things
ever go right in this world?
**[02:13] Yohane's mother**
*What a blessed day.*
**[02:14] Yohane**
Huh? No, wait. I failed my audi—
**[02:17] Yohane's Mother**
*Oh, did you actually forget*
**[02:18] Yohane's Mother**
*your own birthday?*
**[02:20] Yohane**
Oh, right. Th-That's right!
**[02:23] Yohane**
* I have been blessed by the stars*
* and turned sixteen today!*
**[02:28] Yohane's Mother**
Since you're sixteen now, you're an adult.
**[02:31] Yohane**
Oh, no, no. I am but a wee chick
that knows nothing of the world.
**[02:36] Yohane**
And while we're on that subject...
**[02:38] Yohane**
* I'm not exactly asking for*
* a birthday present, but—*
**[02:40] Yohane's mother**
I'm not sending you any more money.
**[02:43] Yohane**
*Huh?*
**[02:44] Yohane's mother**
You said, "I'm going to
make it big in Tokai,"
**[02:46] Yohane's mother**
and then left the house on your fourteenth
birthday. That was two years ago today.
**[02:51] Yohane's mother**
* We made a promise, didn't we?*
* That I'd give you only two years.*
**[02:55] Yohane's mother**
So... Were you able to get any results?
**[02:59] Yohane**
But I really did my best! Both at auditions
and performing on the streets!
**[03:05] Yohane's mother**
*How long did you do that again?*
**[03:06] Yohane**
Forty-eight...
**[03:08] Yohane's mother**
*Days?*
***SIGN*** Days
**[03:09] Yohane**
Hours...
***SIGN*** Hours
**[03:10] Yohane's mother**
*So two days.*
***SIGN*** 48 Hours = 2 Days
**[03:12] Yohane's mother**
* You said you were going*
* to get a part-time job,*
**[03:15] Yohane's mother**
*but you kept failing every interview.*
**[03:16] Yohane**
Well, everywhere I went said
things like I'd have to
**[03:18] Yohane**
start work at 9 in the morning or
come in at least three times a week!
**[03:22] Yohane**
* Then I wouldn't have any*
* time to relax at all!*
**[03:27] Yohane's mother**
Looks like two years passed
by before you knew it.
**[03:31] Yohane**
But, Mother! I still haven't
established my place in this city!
**[03:36] Yohane**
* I just want to give it my best*
* here for a little longer!*
**[03:39] Yohane's mother**
Yohane...
**[03:41] Yohane's mother**
*Does it have to be that city?*
**[03:43] Yohane**
Huh?
**[03:45] Yohane**
*Well, um, you know...*
**[03:49] Yohane's Mother**
Are you truly enjoying your life right now?
**[03:54] Yohane**
O-Of course, I am!
**[03:56] Yohane**
Everyone's cool and unique,
and it was my dream to come here.
**[04:03] Yohane's Mother**
Yohane... Where you are
isn't what's important.
**[04:07] Yohane's Mother**
*It's what you do, and with whom.*
**[04:10] Yohane's mother**
Something that only you can
do that's insanely fun.
**[04:14] Yohane's mother**
Now's your time to find that.
**[04:18] Yohane's mother**
*Find it before summer's over.*
**[04:22] Yohane**
*But, Mother...*
**[04:23] Yohane**
*I can't live on my own without money...*
**[04:26] Yohane's mother**
Then I guess you'll just have to come home.
**[04:28] Yohane**
*Huh?*
**[04:29] Yohane's mother**
This summer, both your father and I will
be out of the house because of work.
**[04:33] Yohane's mother**
This is the perfect opportunity for
you to think about your future.
**[04:36] Yohane**
*Um... Are you perhaps suggesting...*
**[04:38] Yohane's Mother**
*Watch over the house for us.*
**[04:40] Yohane**
But, wait! That's—
**[04:42] Yohane's Mother**
And you won't be alone,
so there's nothing to worry about.
**[04:45] Yohane's Mother**
* Well, I hope you have the*
* most amazing summer! Bye!*
**[04:48] Yohane**
Moth—
**[04:52] Yohane**
No... Not that town. Anything but Numazu.
**[04:57] Yohane**
I don't want to go back ever!
**[05:22] Train announcer**
Numazu, Numazu.
**[05:32] Yohane**
Seriously... This is my
first time back in forever,
**[05:35] Yohane**
and no one's even here to greet me?
**[05:38] Yohane**
Lailaps!
**[05:40] Lailaps**
What?
**[05:41] Yohane**
Don't just sneak up on me like that!
**[05:43] Yohane**
You seriously don't realize how big you are!
**[05:46] Lailaps**
Sorry about that.
**[05:48] Yohane**
Well? Aren't you going
to say "Welcome back"?
**[05:51] Lailaps**
It honestly doesn't seem like you've
been gone that long though.
**[05:55] Yohane**
But it's been two years.
**[05:56] Lailaps**
That's nothing, though, compared
to the history of the universe.
**[06:00] Yohane**
No one's talking about the universe!
**[06:03] Lailaps**
I see. Maybe you *have* grown a bit.
**[06:06] Yohane**
Well, compared to you, it's just "a bit."
**[06:10] Lailaps**
Judging from our conversation,
you're still the same inside though.
**[06:13] Yohane**
Well, that's rude!
**[06:15] Lailaps**
In that case, did you happen to say,
**[06:17] Lailaps**
"I'm back"?
**[06:22] Yohane**
I don't want to.
**[06:24] Yohane**
I'm only back temporarily anyway.
**[06:28] Lailaps**
I guess you still really don't
love home as much as you should.
**[06:31] Yohane**
Home? Love? Give me a break.
**[06:35] Yohane**
I don't have any memories or friends here.
**[06:40] Lailaps**
We've been together for so long...
**[06:42] Lailaps**
But I guess I'm still not your friend.
**[06:45] Yohane**
I wouldn't say you're my friend, Lailaps...
**[06:50] Yohane**
You're more like my sibling.
**[06:51] Lailaps**
Huh... So that's what you think of me.
**[06:55] Yohane**
Well, yeah...
**[06:58] Yohane**
If I had to compare you to something.
**[07:00] Lailaps**
Ah, my adorable little sister.
**[07:03] Yohane**
Now, hang on a minute!
*I'm* somehow the younger one?!
**[07:05] Lailaps**
Of course you are.
**[07:06] Lailaps**
Your body and your heart
are far punier than mine.
**[07:10] Yohane**
What the heck?! Who do you think you are?!
**[07:12] Yohane**
Ugh! I'm gonna go back to the
big city soon, you hear?!
**[07:24] Yohane**
I'm exhausted...
**[07:25] Lailaps**
Yohane.
**[07:26] Lailaps**
It's been a while, so let's go say hi.
**[07:29] Yohane**
Say hi? To who?
**[07:32] Lailaps**
The neighbors, or your close
friends from when you were little.
**[07:36] Yohane**
I don't have any friends,
**[07:38] Yohane**
and going around to the neighbors just
to say hi is so country bumpkin.
**[07:40] Yohane**
Absolutely not!
**[07:42] Yohane**
What's that look for?
**[07:44] Lailaps**
Never mind.
**[07:45] Yohane**
What's that I see? A bug?
**[07:51] Yohane**
That's what you get for
defying your big sister.
**[07:56] Yohane**
Huh?
**[07:57] Yohane**
Uh, hey! Where are you going?
I'm sorry already!
**[08:21] Nami**
Ah! It's Lailaps!
**[08:23] Miki**
Yay! Let me pet your fur!
**[08:27] Miki**
Who are you, lady?
**[08:32] Yohane**
Whatever.
**[08:34] Yohane**
It's not like I care if I'm
not famous in this town.
**[08:38] Yohane**
Actually, it's not like I
know any of them, either.
**[08:42] Lailaps**
Oh, yeah. It was your birthday yesterday,
wasn't it? Happy birthday.
**[08:46] Yohane**
There's nothing happy about it.
**[08:47] Yohane**
I failed an audition.
**[08:49] Lailaps**
For the eighth time?
**[08:50] Yohane**
Seventh, thank you very much.
**[08:52] Lailaps**
So, what are you gonna do now?
**[08:55] Lailaps**
You have to decide what you want
to do about your future, right?
**[08:58] Yohane**
Did my mother say anything?
**[09:01] Lailaps**
She just said, "Thanks, bye."
**[09:02] Yohane**
That's it?!
**[09:13] Yohane**
Nothing's changed.
**[09:16] Lailaps**
That's not true.
**[09:22] Lailaps**
Hanamaru-chan was your friend, wasn't she?
**[09:25] Lailaps**
You don't need to talk to her?
**[09:27] Yohane**
She's not my friend.
**[09:29] Lailaps**
She's making sweets with the fruits and
vegetables from Numazu and selling them.
**[09:33] Yohane**
Huh.
**[09:35] Lailaps**
That's rather impressive. She's around
your age and working like this.
**[09:41] Yohane**
Well, I was working in the city, too!
**[09:44] Lailaps**
She looks like she's having
so much fun every day.
**[09:48] Yohane**
What's that got to do with me? It's not like
that's the kind of work I want to d—

"Brand new! Come have some Hanamaru's
special Hanamaru Bread!"
**[10:00] Lailaps**
You're curious.
**[10:01] Yohane**
I am not!
**[10:03] Lailaps**
Come on. We have to go
give this back to her.
**[10:06] Yohane**
I'll just go later.
**[10:08] Lailaps**
Is there even a later though?
**[10:12] Hanamaru**
Yohane-chan...?
**[10:16] Hanamaru**
It's Yohane-chan, zura!
**[10:18] Yohane**
H-Hana—
**[10:20] Yohane**
You dropped—
***SIGN*** YOHANE THE PARHELION
**[10:51] Child C**
That was so scary.
**[10:53] Child D**
It's just getting louder, too.
**[10:55] Yohane**
What's going on?
**[10:57] Lailaps**
I'm not sure, but Numazu's
been strange lately.
**[10:59] Hanamaru**
Shishinoshin, it's okay
now, zura. There, there.
**[11:02] Yohane**
What? No one told me about that.
**[11:04] Yohane**
No, I'm scared! I knew I
shouldn't have come back!
**[11:09] Hanamaru**
Are you okay?
**[11:12] Yohane**
This was on the ground.
**[11:14] Yohane**
Bye.
**[11:15] Hanamaru**
Oh! Thanks, zura.
**[11:22] Yohane**
Get out of my way, Lailaps!
**[11:24] Lailaps**
We're totally in sync.
**[11:26] Yohane**
Stop making excuses!
**[11:27] Lailaps**
I guess your habit of making
excuses is contagious.
**[11:31] Yohane**
What?!
**[11:32] Hanamaru**
Now, now, don't fight.
**[11:34] Hanamaru**
You're okay now, Lailaps. It must've been
pretty tiring barking that much, zura.
**[11:40] Hanamaru**
But all that arguing just shows
how close you are, zura.
**[11:43] Hanamaru**
Also, it's been so long, Yohane-chan!
**[11:47] Hanamaru**
Have you been well?
**[11:48] Yohane**
Huh? Uh... sure...
**[11:50] Hanamaru**
How's your dream of becoming
a singer going? Going well?
**[11:53] Yohane**
O-Of course...
**[11:54] Hanamaru**
Wow!
**[11:56] Yohane**
Well, uh, yeah...
**[12:01] Hanamaru**
That weird thing earlier
was surprising, huh?
**[12:04] Hanamaru**
No one knows why it's happening.
**[12:09] Hanamaru**
We keep having bad fruit harvests, too.
**[12:12] Hanamaru**
But all we can do is keep our
heads up and keep moving forward, zura!
**[12:15] Hanamaru**
Instead, I was able to make this new bread!
**[12:18] Hanamaru**
I'd love for you to try some,
too, Yohane-chan.
**[12:20] Yohane**
I-I see...
**[12:22] Yohane**
Well, I'm busy, or rather,
I need to think up a new song...
**[12:25] Hanamaru**
Oh, I'm sorry I tied you down.
**[12:28] Hanamaru**
See you later!
**[12:34] Lailaps**
Are you sure you don't
need to talk to her more?
**[12:37] Yohane**
Well, it's not like we're close or anything.
**[12:39] Lailaps**
But that must be really rough for her...
**[12:41] Lailaps**
All her fruit went bad.
**[12:43] Yohane**
That doesn't concern me. I don't care what
happens to this nothing little town.
**[12:51] Lailaps**
You don't care what happens to
this nothing little town... huh.
**[12:57] Lailaps**
That's right. You left Numazu
because there's nothing here.
**[13:03] Lailaps**
To make your big dream come true.
**[13:06] Yohane**
Yes.

**[13:08] Yohane**
I had no intention of ending my life here
doing some small job in this small town.
**[13:13] Yohane**
I wanted to enjoy an entertaining
life like no one has before!
**[13:18] Yohane**
Let's just go home.
**[13:21] Yohane**
I don't want to run into anyone el—
**[13:22] Lailaps**
Yohane.
**[13:24] Lailaps**
Follow me.
**[13:47] Yohane**
I can't walk anymore...
**[13:48] Lailaps**
We're here.
**[14:01] Yohane**
This is...
**[14:03] Lailaps**
You were always singing on top
of that tree-trunk stage.
**[14:08] Lailaps**
Takes you back, right?
**[14:15] Lailaps**
Hey, you finally smiled.
**[14:20] Lailaps**
This was a very special place for you.
**[14:28] Yohane**
I don't know why, but I was able
to have a lot of fun singing here.
**[14:40] Lailaps**
Yeah. You always looked like
you were having a lot of fun.
**[14:45] Yohane**
But then people saw me
and they made fun of me.
**[14:50] Yohane**
Then I never came back.
**[14:53] Yohane**
That's why I hate small towns like this.
**[14:58] Yohane**
There's nowhere that I belong.
**[15:01] Yohane**
Even when I went to Tokai,
no one noticed my talent.
**[15:05] Yohane**
I'm just a failure wherever I go.
**[15:10] Yohane**
Something fun that only I can do...
**[15:13] Yohane**
I've looked everywhere,
but I haven't been able to find it!
**[15:18] Hanamaru**
Yohane-chan.
**[15:21] Yohane**
H-Hanama—
**[15:23] Yohane**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you doing here?!
**[15:25] Hanamaru**
I figured you might be here.
**[15:28] Hanamaru**
I wanted you to try one of my sweets.
**[15:32] Hanamaru**
This place really takes me back.
**[15:35] Hanamaru**
You used to sing up there
all the time, zura.
**[15:38] Yohane**
You... actually remember?
**[15:40] Hanamaru**
Of course, zura!
**[15:42] Hanamaru**
I always got so much
strength from your songs.
**[15:47] Hanamaru**
You always seemed to have so much fun.
**[15:50] Hanamaru**
That's why I wanted to find
something I love to do, too.
**[15:53] Hanamaru**
That's when I realized that I
have the most fun making sweets.
**[15:59] Yohane**
Really?
**[16:01] Hanamaru**
Oh, wow! I haven't seen that in forever!
**[16:03] Hanamaru**
The magic conductor's baton! You would
always sing while waving that around, zura!
**[16:09] Yohane**
Did I...?
**[16:10] Hanamaru**
Hey, sing for me!
**[16:12] Yohane**
Huh?! Sing?! Now?!
**[16:15] Hanamaru**
Yeah! I'd love to hear you!
**[16:17] Hanamaru**
I'd love to hear you sing,
Yohane-chan! Right here and now!

I chase after it, so it doesn't fade away

This is...
**[18:43] Yohane**
Wait, is this magic?!
So I really am special!
**[18:47] Hanamaru**
That was amazing, Yohane-chan!
**[18:49] Hanamaru**
Your singing really does
have amazing powers!
**[18:55] Hanamaru**
You may have your singing,
but I have this, zura!
**[19:00] Hanamaru**
Here you go!
**[19:02] Yohane**
Uh... thanks.
**[19:04] Hanamaru**
Yohane-chan.
**[19:07] Hanamaru**
Welcome home.
**[19:14] Yohane**
Yeah.
**[19:20] Lailaps**
That really was amazing, Yohane.
**[19:22] Lailaps**
Was that really magic?
**[19:24] Yohane**
Of course it is!
**[19:26] Yohane**
My astonishing
talent finally exploded!
**[19:30] Lailaps**
Good for you. You were actually able to
speak to Hanamaru-chan this time, too.
**[19:34] Yohane**
Yeah.
**[19:36] Lailaps**
Though you weren't able to
call her "Hanamaru-chan."
**[19:39] Yohane**
Ugh!
**[19:40] Yohane**
Why do you have to say things
that you know will bug me?
**[19:44] Lailaps**
I'm glad I didn't say "Welcome home".
**[19:47] Yohane**
Why?
**[19:49] Lailaps**
Because Hanamaru-chan told you that instead.
**[19:53] Lailaps**
You seemed really happy about it.
**[19:55] Yohane**
That's not true!
**[19:58] Lailaps**
You can be honest with yourself
every once in a while, you know?
**[20:31] Yohane**
It's good.
**[20:32] Lailaps**
Hanamaru-chan's really impressive.
**[20:34] Yohane**
Was it really okay for me
to take these for free?
**[20:38] Lailaps**
You'll have to pay her back someday.
**[20:40] Yohane**
Yeah.
**[20:42] Yohane**
Hey...
**[20:43] Yohane**
Did I seem a bit cold?
Do you think she thinks I'm weird?
**[20:48] Lailaps**
No, I think you're good.
**[20:51] Lailaps**
And you were able to say
"See you later".
**[20:53] Lailaps**
I think that made Hanamaru-chan really happy.
**[20:56] Yohane**
Today...
**[20:58] Yohane**
I was able to have fun singing
for the first time in a while,
**[21:00] Yohane**
and I was able to let Hanamaru hear that.
**[21:04] Yohane**
It made me really happy.
**[21:07] Yohane**
Also... I'm home.
**[21:11] Lailaps**
Welcome home, Yohane.
**[21:14] Lailaps**
You worked really hard today.
**[21:18] Yohane**
I know, right?!
**[21:19] Yohane**
I worked really hard today, didn't I?
**[21:22] Lailaps**
Though... I'd say you barely passed.
**[21:24] Yohane**
What?! Don't build me up that
much just to knock me back down!
**[21:29] Yohane**
Ugh!
**[21:30] Yohane**
Turn into a gentle little sister
who only says nice things!
**[21:37] Yohane**
What?
**[21:38] Yohane**
I thought I was able to use magic now!
**[21:42] Lailaps**
It looks like you still
need to train harder.
**[21:48] Yohane**
What's that I see there? A bug?
**[21:55] [SONG] Song**
What kind of future are we wishing for?
**[21:58] [SONG] Song**
SUNSHINE in the MIRROR
**[22:00] [SONG] Song**
I want the MYSTERIUM
**[22:02] [SONG] Song**
STARLIGHT in my SKY
**[22:03] [SONG] Song**
Our dreams are bright in this sky
**[22:05] [SONG] Song**
SUNSHINE in the MIRROR
**[22:07] [SONG] Song**
The rhapsodia begins, mysterium from fantasy
**[22:13] [SONG] Song**
I thought I finally found it, but this
illusion moves away as soon as I reach out
**[22:20] [SONG] Song**
Inside this confusion
**[22:22] [SONG] Song**
Did my soul just awaken?
**[22:25] [SONG] Song**
My feelings are asleep in this dark cradle
**[22:31] [SONG] Song**
Be reborn
**[22:32] [SONG] Song**
And fly up with these wings
**[22:35] [SONG] Song**
This beautiful sky shines
as it embraces the darkness
**[22:39] [SONG] Song**
The starlight is a searchlight in the night
**[22:42] [SONG] Song**
Yes, it illuminates
**[22:43] [SONG] Song**
The hidden doors
**[22:44] [SONG] Song**
I'm going to try to believe that
**[22:47] [SONG] Song**
I don't understand... I know it's me,
but I don't understand myself
**[22:51] [SONG] Song**
In front of the mirror
**[22:54] [SONG] Song**
We just keep staring at each other,
aah, what do I want to do?
**[22:59] [SONG] Song**
These mysteries and dreams
**[23:01] [SONG] Song**
I think I might
**[23:03] [SONG] Song**
Want to chase after them more and more
**[23:08] [SONG] Song**
With our encounters in this world
**[23:12] [SONG] Song**
These mysteries and dreams
**[23:13] [SONG] Song**
I'm going to try to solve them
**[23:16] Song**
SUNSHINE in the MIRROR
**[23:18] [SONG] Song**
I want the MYSTERIUM
**[23:20] [SONG] Song**
The rhapsodia begins, mysterium from fantasy
