Original subtitles

Yes... I remember the rock 'n' roller's face perfectly.

Right down to his eyebrows, eyes, and cheek color.

I just can't remember when I last saw him.

Maybe last year, or the beginning of this year.

It is like you can't remember your lover's face exactly, although you are in love.

My parents took me to a country called Japan on vacation.

Yes... I remember...

Should we really be doing this without her?

I'm not so sure myself anymore.

It's just, if she wants to stop, then she can.

I'm sure Mako knew something beyond logic was needed for us to join together like this.

I don't want none of you to complain. It's her problem and hers alone.

Right, everyone, let's move on to a newer, cooler way of life.

You too, Shige.

I really had fun these last three years.

I've got no regrets.

Take care of yourself, okay?!

Yeah, see ya around!

Farewell, Bombers!

See ya 'round!

Yeah!

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.

Alright, I'm in the mood for some ridin'! Let's go!

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom!

It's not fun at all here!

Tsujidou Beach is nothing compared to Waikiki or Moorea.

Where's the mystery? The intrigue?

What about ninjas and Godzilla?

Where's the shogun, Daddy?

Sam, stop annoying your daddy.

Tsujidou is close to Ooiso, where daddy's friend Mr. Tanaka lives.

It's also close to Kamakura.

We brought you here because we felt you're not a child anymore.

You'll be in high school this year.

This trip is to celebrate our anniversary.

Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going out.

Sam, don't go out of the hotel!

I'll tell you if I see a ninja!

All the houses look the same and all the buildings are tiny.

This place doesn't seem all that special.

Well this trip is going great...

I can still see the hotel, so it should be all right if I explore a bit.

What is this thing? Looks like some part of a machine.

My god! How can they leave something like this in the middle of the road!

People in this country have no respect for anyone else, do they?

What do I do now?

I can't... I can't see the hotel!

Excuse me!

How can I get to the Seaside Hotel?

Excuse me!

How can I get to the Seaside Hotel?

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Excuse me! Please!

There's no way I could ever forget him.

And this is where I first met him.

Why don'tcha get off my ass?!

You got a problem with me, huh?!

Hey! Do you think you can talk to a teacher like that?!

If you've got a problem, then do something about it!

Ishikawa, if you keep carrying on like this,

you'll be kicked out of the school you worked so hard to get into.

Sounds good to me!

Mr. Numayama, what's going on?!

So it's you again, Ishikawa!

Great, now there's more of you.

What did I do exactly?!

Well, it's just that I caught him sneaking in late again.

Sorry I had to take a shit because my stomach was hurtin'!

Don't give me that! I've had it up to here with you!

Shut it, you old fart! You wanna go, huh?!

Don't give me that shit just because you were born before me!

You bastard!

You bastard!

Stop it, Ishikawa!

Stop it!

Ishikawa!

Ishikawa!

Ishikawa!

Looks like Akira was caught again.

That's the fifth time this year, ain't it?

Guy's bad news.

Yeah, he's got this weird look in his eyes. Best stay clear of him.

How'd it go, Akira? They chewed you out, huh?

Not like it matters. Nobody ever listens to Numayama anyway.

If you know that, then keep your mouth shut.

Yo.

Wh-What was that?

It was a kick, dipshit.

Wutchu want?

Samantha!

Eguchi Yousuke.

Guchi? Yokesu?

Are you a ninja?

Who's ever heard of a part-time ninja?

I've been doing road work so I can buy this.

And now... I'm all out.

Think of it as a souvenir.

Yokesu!

Go, go, Yokesu!

Go! Go!

Way to go! Way to go!

Wow!

It was the part of a motorcycle!

Is this your house?

That's amazing! He's gonna re-build it himself!

Yousuke, you're almost a high-schooler, so stop using my room.

I get it, so shut up.

So I cleaned all of your stupid models up from around my desk.

I'll kill you for that, you bastard!

Who said you could throw them out?!

You little shit!

You're so full of it!

Ow, ow, ow!

The little brother is supposed to listen to his—

H-Hey, why'd you bring some foreign girl back here?

I'm not tellin' you shit.

Watchu want?

Are you old enough to ride a motorcycle?

Are you old enough to ride a motorcycle?

Hey, what's she sayin'?

She's asking if a little kid like you should be driving that thing.

I'm the leader of a gang, y'know?!

Can you tell her that?

Like I'd know how to say that in English.

Foreigners always think we're ten years younger than we are.

Team Purple Highway of Angels!

The Shounan Bombers!

The purple... highway... of angels...

A team?

I'm the leader, as for the members...

...they'll come later.

I don't have the slightest clue what he's on about.

I know you don't understand, but I'm the only member right now, and I've gotta stick with it.

I'm what's called a 'delinquent'.

That one word.

That was the first time I'd ever heard it.

Oh no!

I've got to get back to the hotel!

Excuse me, how can I get to the Seaside Hotel?

How can I get to the Seaside Hotel?!

How can I get to the Seaside Hotel?!

How can I get to the Seaside Hotel?!

What's with you, dumbass? Just speak Japanese, will ya?

How many times do I have to ask?!

Seaside Hotel!

Seaside Hotel!

Oh, I was right behind it...

I don't know what we can do with him anymore.

He's getting more violent with his classmates.

I can't apologize enough.

This isn't just a matter of discipline on our part.

What sort of upbringing is he even getting at home?

He has no respect for other people. He's even turned on me.

Graduation is just around the corner and this simply can't continue.

There are limits to what teachers can do!

If he continues to harm other students, we'll have to resort to more extreme methods!

Akira...

Akira, I can't believe you!

How many times have I been called in now?

Shut it, you old hag! Not like I asked you to come down here!

Don't come if you don't wanna!

If you hate school that much,

don't expect to sponge off your parents, go find work for yourself and surprise us!

You're the spitting image of your father back in the day.

I'm strong, y'know?

Don't lump me in with that old suck-up!

What do you mean by suck-up?

He's always bowing his head to customers.

He's a disgrace!

Since when! Since when do you have a right to talk about your father like that?!

Who do you think dragged us out of poverty?!

Shut the hell up! It's not like I asked to be born, you old hag!

Are those even your own words?!

Why don't you reflect on yourself instead of bad-mouthing others, Akira?!

Shove it! Just hurry up and drop dead!

Akira!

Akira...

You stupid bastard.

The other day, I didn't do anything to him, but he hit me anyway!

Yeah, safer to avoid him all together.

I'll see you all later.

Y-Yeah, I'm going home too.

Y-Yeah, me too.

Me too.

W-Wait for me!

I don't wanna spend time with you.

I can never tell what you're thinking.

You're scary, so I don't wanna be friends with you.

I'm fine on my own.

I'm scary?

More like none of you have the balls to face me!

I hate it! I hate, hate, hate it! I can't stand Japan!

They're all rude to me and vacant-looking.

I hate it here!

I can't sleep... maybe this is jetlag?

I wonder if he's... still messing around with that motorcycle...

Only one way to find out.

He really is like a little kid. He fell asleep part way through.

Completed?

Will you be able to hear the sound of the wind on that motorcycle?

Don't go catching a cold because of it though.

Akira!

What're you doing around here?

I'm just going home.

Come on in if you feel like it!

Akira, I'll tell you something real good.

I'll tell you how adults play.

Shut it! Don't gimme that shit!

What's pissed you off, you little punk?!

That's why you ain't got any friends!

It's all your own doing!

Hey, go easy on him.

We're lifelong friends, aren't we?

Yeah, friends!

Friends! Friends! Friends! Friends! Friends!

It's too cold for this shit.

You little punk! No wonder you don't have any friends!

Hey, where you goin'?

Hey, you got any money on ya?

Think that shit'd work on me?!

Come on! Come on! Come on! Bring it!

Fuck off pulling that shit with me!

Look, a fight.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Get me somethin' to eat! Come on!

Poor guy...

The guy's already out cold.

I talked to Mr. Tanaka.

He said he'd pick us up at Ooiso station.

Sam, what's up?

What's wrong with you today?

She said she didn't want to go with us.

She's only a child.

I wanted him to take me out on his motorcycle...

I know he said no, but I just wanted to try it.

Sam, stop it!

My friend will laugh at us.

But he really did love that motorcycle.

Was kinda cute though, wasn't it? He was just like a little kid.

I'll check it out again once I'm back at the hotel.

I'll keep this a secret from my boyfriend, Michael.

What happened?

What was wrong with this?

You made it and broke it?

Why?

Why did you break it?!

You really worked hard on it!

Somebody broke it?

Don't bluff!

I know you were crying! What happened?

Wimp!

If somebody did this to you, you should get even!

My boyfriend, Michael, is much tougher than you.

He has a dream to live in the country, far away from big cities.

No one ever stops him from doing what he wants!

How stingy!

Ugly.

Some gangs are having a fight!

Where are they?

Looks like the Bombers and the Crown Butterflies.

I heard the Bombers were broken up.

Sounds interesting, I'm gonna check it out.

What a fight!

This isn't a fight! They're about to kill each other!

He's doing pretty well for one guy.

Who's that anyway? Never seen him before.

Was there someone that strong in Shounan?

He's got nothing on me.

I'm way stronger than him.

Screw all of you!

Messin' with someone's bike like that!

Die, will ya?!

Shut your mouth!

Take that!

Here!

Hold it! Where you running off to?!

Who's runnin'?!

If ya wanna die, then get over here!

Hey, hey! You still wanna piece of me?!

I'm so glad to be free from my parents today!

They went to Izu.

I can be with Yokesu all day today!

Are you okay?

I don't really get what you're saying but...

I'm all okay!

Get your sweet potatoes!

Freshly baked! Get 'em while they're hot!

Get yur weet potoes! Feshly baaked! Gutem wun thur hut!

"Oohashi Sake Brewery"

Oh, second-gen!

You let some foreign girl onto the team?

This is Oohashi, he's my...

Mr. Oohashi.

Hello! Purple Highway of Angels!

I'm one of the Shounan Bombers, founding member though.

Now he's a hard working sake brewer. You understand?

Japanese rice juice. Do you know?

Kazuki, you workin' hard or hardly workin'?!

Hey, just dropping by.

Eguchi, huh?

Don't go making your parents cry like Kazuki here.

Shut up! This ain't got anything to do with you! So butt out!

You little punk! You think you can take that tone with your father?!

Ya old bastard!

Don't think you can act like that because you're my old man!

Who're you calling an old bastard?!

I'm your father and your boss, you stupid punk!

He's one of the Purple Highway of Angels...

He's a rock 'n' roller.

Eguchi, Yamada should have a tank for that GS of yours!

He's quit ridin', so go see him.

Alright, thank you.

Yahoo!

Yokesu?

Yokesu! Yokesu!

Welcome!

What? A tank for a GS?

Yeah, yeah, I've got one.

I'll do anything for the new leader.

It should be in the carpark out back.

Take ten, take a hundred. Take as many as you like!

Kazzy, we've only got one!

Sightseeing?

Yes!

Have a nice day!

You're a very nice couple!

We're not married, just living together.

We ran away from our families!

That's so exciting!

Yo, second-gen, still delinquent?

S-S-Second-gen, huh?!

Hey, second-gen, they're done.

Yeah, I don't think foreigners are gonna understand its appeal.

They're all rock 'n' rollers. Every one of 'em.

They're all so nice!

Japanese rock 'n' rollers are nothing like Presley or Fats Domino.

Listen up!

Late last night, many members of the Crown Butterflies...

...got into a huge fight after a meet up.

They're saying it was started by someone from the Shounan Bombers!

And that's you guys, isn't it?!

D-Don't be like that, we're all retired.

I'm working hard at a ramen joint!

Workin' real hard.

Yeah, sure you are.

If I find evidence you're involved, you're in for it!

Sore-ass!

Shige!

Shige, that look really suits you.

It was you, wasn't it?

I see, so you got the GS up and running again, huh?

Those guys were probably trying to get back at us now that you're all that's left of the team,

but you gave those Crown Butterflies their just deserts for messin' with ya!

I'd expect nothing less of you, delinquent through-and-through!

Tsupparakaru?

You likin' that, girlie? Made the stock myself.

What're you doing, Shigeoka? You've got deliveries to make!

Righto. What am I gonna do with this place...

On top of the noodles sucking here, he never stops his nagging.

Oh, girlie.

Shige, what are you thinking?!

I've found it! This is my Japan!

Way to go, Yokesu!

Way to go! Way to go!

Go! Go! Go!

Way to go! Way to go!

Go! Go! Go, Yokesu! Go! Go!

Way to go! Way to go!

Go! Go! Go! Way to—

Hey, Yokesu!

Wait, wait, Yokesu!

Yokesu, don't go!

Hey, wait!

Dear, why don't you talk to him as well?

You really hate school that much?

Shut up. Don't see how a suck-up like you has a right to complain.

Your mother told me about that.

But there's nothing wrong with it.

Akira!

What?!

You only say that because you don't know the first thing about him!

Why do you think your father never bathed with you as a child?!

Why'd you think he never took you swimming?!

And you do nothing but complain!

You've never even seen his back, have you?!

Don't you know why that is?!

Nobuko!

Stop this, it's ruining our meal.

Akira, will you just stop already?!

Why do you always start fights when we're having dinner?!

You're stupid!

I can't even make any friends because everyone's scared of you!

I was supposed to write about my siblings for homework!

But it's all about fights and the police with you, so I couldn't write anything!

And I got scolded for that! Stupid Akira!

Shut the hell up!

Nobody ever looks me in the eye when they talk to me!

I'm not starting fights to make you get picked on!

I just don't know how to let out all this anger inside me!

Anna, if anyone thinks that about me, send 'em my way and make them say it to my face!

I'll sort 'em out one-on-one!

How am I supposed to do that?!

Stop it, you two!

Take this!

You dumbass!

Go eat shit, Ishikawa!

Don't show your face in Akashio-middle ever again!

You're just an animal!

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Ow!

Whoever's out there, you're fuckin' dead!

Run for it!

Where d'ya think you're going?!

Damn it... damn it... why does...

Damn it... damn it... damn it!

What am I supposed to do with all this anger inside me?!

I don't know!

And how'd you expect me to act if you all keep avoiding me?!

You stupid bastards!

Pops...

Pop—

That was the first time I'd seen the tattoo on my old man's back.

This is the reason I couldn't bathe with you or take you places.

You didn't need to hide it from me.

I didn't want you going down the path I took.

It'd make Anna and your mother cry.

Even I can't really tell you how you should feel.

But one day, we'll be able to talk all about it. Man to man.

Any man that makes a woman cry can't call himself a man.

Damn you...

You stupid bastard! You stupid bastard! You stupid old bastard!

I finally found ya, kid.

Don't you know how much trouble you gave me the other day?!

Oh, you're that punk from the other day.

Ready for round two?!

Now there's five of us, and you're going down!

Best get ready!

Don't go lookin' down on Akashio-middle's Ishikawa Akira!

Wh-What?! Y-You're in middle school?!

I can't take the shame!

It's over. That didn't last too long.

I know that guy.

He's the head honcho of Akashio, Ishikawa or something.

Looks pretty strong, huh?

I'm stronger.

Yeah, right. I'm the strongest here.

Well, he's no match for us.

You got that right.

That old bastard.

You stupid old bastard!

I didn't get any warning.

Yet suddenly you're my boyfriend.

You really set my heart aflutter.

That's right. This is just the start of love.

The Purple Highway at dawn.

This is thanks for helping me with my bike.

You and your bike on the coastal roads keep going with no end in sight.

You were a wimp at the start, but also sweet.

We'll stay together until our countless bonds are severed by the passing of time.

You were really crying, weren't you?

Tell me the truth.

Because I'm tsupparakatte.

I'll never forget you or the time we spent together.

The sight of you is forever etched into my memories.

Yokesu!

Yokesu!

Say no to Anpo! Say no to Anpo!

Stop that, Tadashi.

It's a pain talking to foreigners, isn't it?

Yokesu...

My wife always talks about it since then.

But I don't blame her.

Is there a purple road somewhere in Japan?

You're Japanese, aren't you?

Do you know the word "tsupparakatteru"?

She said it means a guy who is born, honest, sweet, and always does his best.

I don't know if it's true or not...

Since she's just the wife of a poor farmer like me...

She can never go to the orient again...

She needs to love her memory, don't you think?

Do you understand "tsupparakatteru"?

Yeah.

I never thought I'd hear the word in this kind of place.

It sounds... nostalgic...

So, do you happen to know Yokesu?

Yokesu?

No, I don't.

Okay, thanks for the water.

My pleasure. Sorry to keep making you talk to me.

You are on your way to New York, aren't you?

Stop by again on the way back.

I'm Michael.

My wife's name is Samantha.

Thanks.

My name is Mamurasaki.

Jun Mamurasaki.

What are you going to do in New York?

I'm all ready... to chase my dreams.

I'm all ready... to chase my dreams.

Are you "tsupparakatteru" too?

Yeah, all the way!

I still think so, even now...

Yokesu! It's Yokesu!

Stop him!

What are you talking about? He's also Japanese, his name is Mamurasaki.

Really?

Well...

Let's make one more effort.

Yes.

Lets "tsupparakaru"!

The purple highway I saw in Tsujidou Beach still lives on in my heart.

From Samantha.

My heart beats like crazy and crazy!

Let me feel the sunshine!

The easiest way to make up after a fight,

is just to laugh through the tears.

Petals must fall so that fruit may be borne.

And we'd have no rainbows without the rain.

You just have to bear with it.

You just have to do the best you can.

Like what you want and get on with your life. That's right!

I'm honest with myself!

No matter how much I sulk or cry.

The gentle rain always falls to conceal my tears.

My heart beats like crazy and crazy!

I'm honest with myself!

I've been like this as long as I can remember!

Don't overthink it. Happiness is closer than you think.

I see you smilin'!

My heart beats like crazy and crazy!

Take me to your paradise!

Let me feel the sunshine!
