1. When I first came to Tokyo,
I found myself thinking...Copy !req
2. "Everyone's so stylish!
So this is Tokyo, huh?"Copy !req
3. But right now, I'm feeling that
culture shock all over again.Copy !req
4. Saijou Ririka-san,
Shima-kun's childhood friend.Copy !req
5. Street clothes only make her
stand out even more!Copy !req
6. Her legs are so long, even in slippers!Copy !req
7. She's more than thin! She's slender!Copy !req
8. Is that what pro models are like?Copy !req
9. And for someone so beautiful...Copy !req
10. Ririka-chan, what a surprise.
It's been so long.Copy !req
11. What?!Copy !req
12. badumpCopy !req
13. She looks really intimidating
when she's angry!Copy !req
14. Even if I'm not her target.Copy !req
15. What the hell are you doing here?Copy !req
16. Settle down, Ririka.Copy !req
17. Hello, Sousuke's mom. It's been too long!Copy !req
18. Chris-kun?Copy !req
19. You've both grown so much.Copy !req
20. Um...Copy !req
21. You're still in touch with Sousuke, I see.Copy !req
22. Oh, this is rich.Copy !req
23. You haven't changed at all.Copy !req
24. It's so obvious you don't
want me anywhere near him.Copy !req
25. That wasn't what I...Copy !req
26. Ririka!Copy !req
27. Such a narcissist.Copy !req
28. Seriously, chill, Ri—Copy !req
29. Shut up, Chris!Copy !req
30. I just came to see my son's
school festival...Copy !req
31. Are you making Sousuke act for you again?Copy !req
32. So dazzlingCopy !req
33. I find myself looking awayCopy !req
34. Unable to find the right wordsCopy !req
35. Even a single word to sayCopy !req
36. In such a narrow worldCopy !req
37. Your vibrant laughterCopy !req
38. Resonates so beautifullyCopy !req
39. And that's what saved meCopy !req
40. If we relive this momentCopy !req
41. In an unimaginable futureCopy !req
42. Even if we're lost, it's okayCopy !req
43. We will be in it togetherCopy !req
44. So dazzlingCopy !req
45. I find myself looking awayCopy !req
46. Unable to find the right wordsCopy !req
47. Even a single word to sayCopy !req
48. I was entrancedCopy !req
49. By your lively figureCopy !req
50. If the true nature of this blue warmthCopy !req
51. Is love, then…Copy !req
52. If the true nature of this blue warmthCopy !req
53. Is love, then...Copy !req
54. The lesser anteater's
intimidation tacticCopy !req
55. How Animals IntimidateCopy !req
56. Small animals often do this
to make themselves look bigger.Copy !req
57. This is a lesser anteater.Copy !req
58. Wesser anteat.Copy !req
59. Lesser anteater.Copy !req
60. Dis cute.Copy !req
61. Yeah.Copy !req
62. This is so good. The biology club made this?Copy !req
63. We have an exhibit for kids, too.
Come check it out.Copy !req
64. Thanks.Copy !req
65. Wesser anteat.Copy !req
66. You mean lesser anteater.Copy !req
67. Huh?Copy !req
68. Your mom isn't here yet?Copy !req
69. Maybe she's lost.Copy !req
70. Shima-kun! Mukai-kun!Copy !req
71. Long time no see!Copy !req
72. Whoa, you came!Copy !req
73. Friends? Hi!Copy !req
74. Hello.Copy !req
75. Classmates from middle school.Copy !req
76. We heard your class was putting on a play.Copy !req
77. We couldn't pass up a chance
to see Shima-kun's acting.Copy !req
78. Right?Copy !req
79. Oh, right. They all know
I was a child actor.Copy !req
80. Is that your little brother?Copy !req
81. Yeah.Copy !req
82. Hewwo.Copy !req
83. He's so cute!Copy !req
84. Gotta change the subject.Copy !req
85. Sousuke.Copy !req
86. I'm here.Copy !req
87. What? No way!Copy !req
88. Is that Saijou Ririka-chan, the model?!Copy !req
89. Ugh...Copy !req
90. I read Highteen every month!Copy !req
91. Thanks.Copy !req
92. Oh man, her face is so small!Copy !req
93. So you are still friends with Shima-kun.Copy !req
94. Oh, they co-starred on a TV show, right?Copy !req
95. TV show?Copy !req
96. Huh? Model?Copy !req
97. Were you in showbiz, Shima-kun?Copy !req
98. Ack. You weren't keeping it
a secret in high school, were you?Copy !req
99. It's nothing to hide, right?Copy !req
100. I, uh, acted in a couple things
when I was a kid.Copy !req
101. Huh?!Copy !req
102. Are you kidding? That's so cool!Copy !req
103. What shows? Can I look them up?Copy !req
104. No, it's kinda embarrassing...Copy !req
105. Hello? It's almost showtime!Copy !req
106. Okay!Copy !req
107. That is seriously so cool!Copy !req
108. Let's line up.Copy !req
109. Let's go!Copy !req
110. Sousuke.Copy !req
111. Thank you for watching Keiri.Copy !req
112. Oh, sure.Copy !req
113. And sorry, but I just remembered
something I needed to take care of.Copy !req
114. We'll get going now.Copy !req
115. Huh? Oh... Okay.Copy !req
116. We're weaving?Copy !req
117. Yeah.Copy !req
118. Well, good luck with your play.Copy !req
119. Oh... She did that on purpose.Copy !req
120. Was it this one?Copy !req
121. She forced Shima-kun to spill his secret
and made his mom leave.Copy !req
122. Whoa, for real?!Copy !req
123. Wow!Copy !req
124. Was it to poke at him?Copy !req
125. What?Copy !req
126. Heh.Copy !req
127. Ririka.Copy !req
128. Did you say something to my mom?Copy !req
129. Hmm? No, not really.Copy !req
130. Why? Did you want her to stay?Copy !req
131. Well, uh...Copy !req
132. You should be glad. If anything, I'm—Copy !req
133. You might want to line up too!
You won't enjoy it if you have to stand!Copy !req
134. Oh, right.Copy !req
135. Huh?Copy !req
136. How Animals IntimidateCopy !req
137. The lesser anteater's
intimidation tactic.Copy !req
138. Oh! She's doing the anteater!Copy !req
139. What d'ya reckon's so funny?Copy !req
140. Well, I just saw something
in the biology club's journal...Copy !req
141. Never mind. I'll send you a pic later.Copy !req
142. Now I really wanna know!Copy !req
143. Let's go, Chris.Copy !req
144. Oh, I want to talk to Sousuke.Copy !req
145. Whatever. I'm going in.Copy !req
146. Sousuke, sorry we showed up without notice.Copy !req
147. Oh, it's fine.Copy !req
148. Ririka accused your mom
of making you act for her again.Copy !req
149. Honestly, though,
I get what she's trying to say.Copy !req
150. Yeah.Copy !req
151. Anyway, break a leg.Copy !req
152. Will do. Thanks.Copy !req
153. Maybe this is obvious...Copy !req
154. but childhood friendships are really deep.Copy !req
155. You share so much with them, good and bad.Copy !req
156. It's like Fumi is to me.Copy !req
157. I can't surpass the time
they've shared, but...Copy !req
158. What's with that pose?Copy !req
159. Dunno!Copy !req
160. I'm going back to work!Copy !req
161. Good luck with the last show!Copy !req
162. Someday, I want to get to that level too.Copy !req
163. This is the last show.Copy !req
164. Let's give it all we've got!Copy !req
165. Yeah!Copy !req
166. I have music!Copy !req
167. God, I thank you...Copy !req
168. I can't stop singing, wherever I am.Copy !req
169. When I sing, I can forget all the pain.Copy !req
170. The reverend mother is very cross with me,Copy !req
171. but I love this abbey.Copy !req
172. "Good luck," and "give it
all we've got," huh?Copy !req
173. Ririka accused your mom
of making you act for her again.Copy !req
174. ...but because it made my mom happy.Copy !req
175. So can I act as long as it's for myself?Copy !req
176. I don't get it.Copy !req
177. Heck, if you asked me to list my favorite
foods, I wouldn't know right away.Copy !req
178. But I know exactly what
people expect from me.Copy !req
179. Everyone's happier when
I give them what they want.Copy !req
180. It's easier for me, too.Copy !req
181. But it's pretty badly underpopulated.Copy !req
182. She said she was doing it for herself,Copy !req
183. but she wants to be a politician
to help her hometown, right?Copy !req
184. Are we really that different?Copy !req
185. If you ever find a goal for yourself,Copy !req
186. then, succeed or fail, we'll go anywhere
you want and eat some good food!Copy !req
187. Is having a goal really that great?Copy !req
188. Does it never feel like a curse?Copy !req
189. No, that doesn't really matter.Copy !req
190. What matters is what I want.Copy !req
191. Is it because I'm so anxious that I feel so attacked
when I see people who are passionate about something?Copy !req
192. When random girls like me,Copy !req
193. do I feel uncomfortable
because of my lack of confidence?Copy !req
194. Was I relieved when Mom left?Copy !req
195. Did I want her to watch?Copy !req
196. Why do I not even know myself?Copy !req
197. It's your last scene! Go for it!Copy !req
198. Shima?Copy !req
199. Sorry. I'm going on.Copy !req
200. They aren't here.Copy !req
201. They can't have gone too far.Copy !req
202. Come to think of it,
Kanechika-senpai's play was great.Copy !req
203. I'm sorry I couldn't talk to him
after the show.Copy !req
204. Give me the gun, Johan.Copy !req
205. No, that's not it.Copy !req
206. I chose not to talk to him.Copy !req
207. You'll never be one of them.Copy !req
208. I know this feeling.Copy !req
209. It's envy.Copy !req
210. Sorry, I forgot my lines.Copy !req
211. No worries!Copy !req
212. What you did worked out!Copy !req
213. Ririka! Chris!Copy !req
214. Oh man, Sousuke! You guys killed it!Copy !req
215. I really wasn't expecting that
quality in a school festival.Copy !req
216. Thanks.Copy !req
217. Listen, Ririka.Copy !req
218. I've been thinking for a while now.Copy !req
219. The last show is about to start!Copy !req
220. What? Sounds like fun!Copy !req
221. I...Copy !req
222. I don't think I can ever make up
for what I did to you.Copy !req
223. Seriously.Copy !req
224. But...Copy !req
225. I don't wanna keep following you
down the same self-destructive path.Copy !req
226. Not anymore.Copy !req
227. I'll do anything I can to help you move on.Copy !req
228. I promise you that.Copy !req
229. I'll listen if you're stressed
or want to vent.Copy !req
230. Even if you wake me up
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
231. I just, I...Copy !req
232. I'm enjoying school life.Copy !req
233. Scene 12: ShiningCopy !req
234. It's starting in the courtyard right now!Copy !req
235. What? We need to run!Copy !req
236. Huh?Copy !req
237. Listen to yourself!Copy !req
238. All I heard was, "Forgive me,
I want to be happy."Copy !req
239. As if you're allowed to ask for that.Copy !req
240. You're... not wrong.Copy !req
241. But that's what I'm asking.Copy !req
242. I don't believe you.Copy !req
243. Narcissists! Both you and your mom!Copy !req
244. Whatever! Do whatever you want!Copy !req
245. But don't you ever show
your face to me again!Copy !req
246. Ririka.Copy !req
247. Thank you.Copy !req
248. Come on, Chris! We're leaving!Copy !req
249. Ririka-san? Hello? You're a celebrity?Copy !req
250. I-It's okay. Want some water?Copy !req
251. Even I knew... it wasn't totally
Sousuke's fault, you know!Copy !req
252. The whole scandal and losing my job...Copy !req
253. He told me not to come,
but I followed him anyway! That's on me!Copy !req
254. But it's just not fair!Copy !req
255. When he's with me, he looks like
he'd rather be anywhere else.Copy !req
256. It's so much easier for him to be
with girls who know nothing!Copy !req
257. Of course he'd leave me and pick them!Copy !req
258. I was so busy that I barely
passed middle school,Copy !req
259. but he gets to go to a top high schoolCopy !req
260. and enjoy his stupid festival.Copy !req
261. It's just not fair!Copy !req
262. But you know...Copy !req
263. You didn't need to guilt-trip him.Copy !req
264. He wouldn't have gone anywhere, anyway.Copy !req
265. He's not that kind of guy.Copy !req
266. He cares more about you than that.Copy !req
267. Besides, you'll always have me—Copy !req
268. Chris's HankyCopy !req
269. You didn't even have any work
in middle school.Copy !req
270. It's your own damn fault your grades sucked.Copy !req
271. Shut up, shut up!Copy !req
272. I hope everyone enjoyed
this year's school festival.Copy !req
273. These two amazing days wouldn't have been
possible without the help of everyone here.Copy !req
274. Thank you all so much!Copy !req
275. Next, a word from
the student council president.Copy !req
276. Kazakami-kun!Copy !req
277. Kazakami!Copy !req
278. Ahem.Copy !req
279. Thank you all for everything
over these two days.Copy !req
280. You just heard this,Copy !req
281. but we only managed to close out
this event with no major troubleCopy !req
282. thanks to each and every one of you
taking accountability and initiative.Copy !req
283. Tsubame West's School
Festival has a rich history,Copy !req
284. and I hope this one
will remain in our heartsCopy !req
285. as a glorious part of our youths.Copy !req
286. That is all.Copy !req
287. Thank you all again!Copy !req
288. Good work, everyone!Copy !req
289. Thank you!Copy !req
290. Thank you.Copy !req
291. Why are you crying that hard?!Copy !req
292. I have plenty of reasons!Copy !req
293. Relief, the joy of success...Copy !req
294. I get it, but look at you!Copy !req
295. Want a tissue?Copy !req
296. I have my own, thanks!Copy !req
297. You wouldn't understand.Copy !req
298. Someone as gifted as you would never...Copy !req
299. Yeah, I guess I wouldn't.Copy !req
300. In my family, we're all
expected to go to Tokyo U.Copy !req
301. All my relatives are doctors,
consultants—that kinda jazz.Copy !req
302. I didn't ask.Copy !req
303. When I was a kid, we'd all get together
on holidays. But the older kids...Copy !req
304. I never got to play with them.Copy !req
305. They all shut themselves
in their rooms and studied.Copy !req
306. I promised my folks I'd only
play soccer through second year,Copy !req
307. but then I got injured.
Not very gifted of me, huh?Copy !req
308. But I still wanted to do something
with my high school life.Copy !req
309. I'm sorry, Takamine.Copy !req
310. That "something" was
the position you craved.Copy !req
311. Don't be. It was a fair election.Copy !req
312. Sure was. Turns out I was way
more popular than you, huh?Copy !req
313. Here. I don't need 'em.Copy !req
314. Good work!Copy !req
315. And then...Copy !req
316. There was an awards ceremony
before closing time.Copy !req
317. Voted the most popular
class event was Class 2-1.Copy !req
318. And the most popular club event award
actually went to the drama club!Copy !req
319. Thank you very much!Copy !req
320. Sorry I was such an awful organizer!Copy !req
321. What are you talking about?
You did your best!Copy !req
322. I said a whole bunch of mean things, too!Copy !req
323. Thank you, Ryouko.Copy !req
324. I thought it'd be embarrassing,
but that was a blast.Copy !req
325. Yeah, I'd do it again.Copy !req
326. So, hey...Copy !req
327. Can I call you Sousuke too?Copy !req
328. That's random. But sure.Copy !req
329. You can call me Kenty.Copy !req
330. Can you two, like, help out?Copy !req
331. As each of us held all our emotions close...Copy !req
332. BallotCopy !req
333. WELCOMECopy !req
334. the Tsubame West High School
Festival came to a close.Copy !req
335. Good work!Copy !req
336. Whoa!Copy !req
337. It's like water enriching the desert soil!Copy !req
338. Man, it's over! I'm so dead...Copy !req
339. You stole the show up there.Copy !req
340. Your song was so good, Mika-chan!Copy !req
341. Yeah, super good.Copy !req
342. You stop that. Now.Copy !req
343. Mitsumi, you're not done yet, right?Copy !req
344. Right, I have a meeting after this.Copy !req
345. Insane how much work
the student council does.Copy !req
346. Hey, once things settle down,
why don't we do another sleepover?Copy !req
347. At my place for real this time.Copy !req
348. We can meet Chiffon in the flesh.Copy !req
349. I don't mind...Copy !req
350. When are we thinking?Copy !req
351. After finals, maybe?Copy !req
352. That's ages away!Copy !req
353. The second term has the most study material.Copy !req
354. Save the reality checks for later!Copy !req
355. Why not make it a study sleepover?Copy !req
356. I think I'm free from the week after next.Copy !req
357. Oh, I should get going now.Copy !req
358. We'll talk about it tomorrow.Copy !req
359. Tomorrow... Clean up...Copy !req
360. Hang in there, Mitsumi!Copy !req
361. Thanks!Copy !req
362. We need to eat to grow.Copy !req
363. That we do.Copy !req
364. Iwakura-san! Good work.Copy !req
365. You guys, too.Copy !req
366. We're going to Jonathan's.
You wanna come with?Copy !req
367. Gonna have us a mini-party.Copy !req
368. I'm on my way to a meeting
about tomorrow's cleanup plan.Copy !req
369. I just came back to grab a file.Copy !req
370. Aw, that's too bad.Copy !req
371. See you tomorrow!Copy !req
372. Have fun!Copy !req
373. I'm starving!Copy !req
374. What are you getting?Copy !req
375. I feel like I could eat
a hundred slices of pizza.Copy !req
376. Not happening!Copy !req
377. How about meat?Copy !req
378. Good idea! And some parfaits too?Copy !req
379. Ooh, baby.Copy !req
380. Mitsumi-chan.Copy !req
381. Shima-kun? Forget something?Copy !req
382. Oh, nah.Copy !req
383. I was just wondering if I could help out.Copy !req
384. Huh? No, no!Copy !req
385. It's just a meeting, really.Copy !req
386. Go eat with the others.Copy !req
387. Oh, okay. See you.Copy !req
388. Yeah, bye-bye!Copy !req
389. How about if our class finishes cleanup
early tomorrow, I'll go help you out?Copy !req
390. That'd be great!Copy !req
391. Hit me up when you're free.Copy !req
392. I'll tell you where you're needed most!Copy !req
393. Gotcha.Copy !req
394. Mitsumi-chan!Copy !req
395. What is it?Copy !req
396. Nothing! See you tomorrow!Copy !req
397. Metropolitan, mature, and kind.Copy !req
398. I was amazed that a boy
so dapper actually existed.Copy !req
399. But today, he seems almost like... a kid?Copy !req
400. Shima-kun might be weirder
than I ever imagined.Copy !req
401. But that almost...Copy !req
402. makes me happy or something!Copy !req
403. Ah.Copy !req
404. Hey!Copy !req
405. Ooh, looking good!Copy !req
406. I'm Iwakura Mitsumi, fifteen years old.Copy !req
407. I came here from a tiny remote town
on the border of Ishikawa Prefecture.Copy !req
408. I want to be a government official, which
is why I applied to a Tokyo high school.Copy !req
409. I've run around in circlesCopy !req
410. and screwed up bigtime,Copy !req
411. but I've found wonderful places,Copy !req
412. wonderful things,Copy !req
413. and wonderful people that I love very much.Copy !req
414. Today, Tokyo has been blessed
with a whimsical, vast,Copy !req
415. and vivid autumn sky!Copy !req
416. A gentle breeze, the setting sunCopy !req
417. Today was another good dayCopy !req
418. Forgetting all the plans I madeCopy !req
419. I'll walk to the next station overCopy !req
420. The more I trip and fallCopy !req
421. The better I get at picking myself back upCopy !req
422. Through honest dialogue and heart-to-heartsCopy !req
423. The warmth seeps into my soulCopy !req
424. Humming as I take the roundabout wayCopy !req
425. My world is an unsolved mysteryCopy !req
426. Top speed, toes and heels, stridesCopy !req
427. Each one of us walks differentlyCopy !req
428. All the same, we wave goodbye to duskCopy !req
429. As a new morning dawnsCopy !req
430. Wanting to protect this everyday lifeCopy !req
431. With a hop, jump, and skipCopy !req
432. See you tomorrowCopy !req
