Original subtitles

Yeah, and Koyuki-chan's song in the movie was so great!

You should go see it, too, Mom!

I'll do that.

But are you keeping up with your studies?

Y-Yeah, no problem!

By the way, I've been asked to join the track team again.

Oh, really?

I don't even want to join...

So, Fuuka...

Have you found what you want to do?

No...

But I feel like there must be something.

There's no need to rush,

as long as you find something you truly want to do.

That's right.

Uh-huh.

Well, I won't keep you too long.

Talk to you later.

So she won't join the track team, huh?

Even though she's so athletic?

It's too bad, eh, Yamato-kun?

You started buying her cleats and stopwatches when she was just a little girl.

It's fine.

As long as she's doing what she wants to do.

"Fuuka"

A promise that's lost its realism fades in your words

My shadow moves separately from the crowd

I only watch them pulsing, with no intention of matching their stride

I have no connection to them at all

These repeating days I've grown sick of hearing

(Even though I renew myself so they won't leave me behind)

The irritation of not blending in looms closer

Inside this box, my heart is wearing down

If it's going to be erased,

I'll just have to smash open that square sky and be prepared to burn up

Let's cloak our hearts in a hot breeze and race up there

Rip apart the chains holding us down and set our incomplete selves free

Until the very last moment, we'll feel a climber's high!

May this dream of steel that no one can break

Reach out to the ends of the world

We're in another classroom next period, right?

Yeah, I think so.

Wanna go together?

Okay, sure.

"Tama: Is that you, Nico-kun? Do you remember me?"

How should I reply?

Akitsuki...

She was... crying?

That guy's in our class...

Hey, wanna go for karaoke?

Oh, sounds good!

You have such long fingers, Mikasa-kun.

Like a pianist!

Yeah, I used to play a little bit.

Hey, are you using a new shampoo?

Huh?

Oh, you can tell?

What are you blushing for?

Don't try to laugh it off!

Could it be Akitsuki likes that good-looking guy,

but he's friendly with other girls, so she...

A love triangle?

Hey! Everyone who's not in a club!

Come with me, please.

I need you to do something.

The three of us have to clean this whole pool?

Looks that way.

Well, guess we just have to do it.

But...

Ow!

Let's get it over with!

Listen...

About you and Mikasa...

What?

Nothing.

What was that about?

So hot...

There's no way three of us can get this done.

The way you sweep looks totally professional, Fuuka.

Right?

I'm staying at my relatives' apartment building,

so I get to use the attached bathhouse for free.

I help with cleaning the baths in return.

Oh, so that's why.

Hey, you should come use the baths sometime, Makoto-kun.

They're really spacious and comfortable!

And I can get you in cheap!

- -Sweet! - -They seem to get along just fine...

I guess it's none of my business.

Yuu-kun!

It's not going to get clean if you sweep that way.

Let a pro show you how it's done. Just watch and--

Ow...

Darn it...

What the heck are you doing?

Are you okay?

Yeah... Aw, man, I'm soaked...

What?

N-Nothing...

Fuuka.

Your panties are showing through.

What?!

No way!

Did you see?

S-See what?

I'm going to change!

Yuu-kun, you jerk!

Why me?!

Stop looking at me! Pervert!

Why is she only like that to me?

Fuuka's adorable, isn't she?

I don't know about that...

You and Akitsuki seem pretty close, Mikasa.

Well, we have a lot in common.

Then you should consider her feelings more...

Hmm? What was that?

Finally done.

I'll go put these away.

Thanks.

You're tired? That's pretty pathetic.

Making three people clean a whole pool is torture!

What's the problem? It was fun!

Because Mikasa's with us?

What do you mean?

What do I...

You like Mikasa,

but he's friendly with other girls, so you're in a love triangle and...

Huh?

I-I'm saying...

But Makoto-kun and I are just friends.

Besides, Makoto-kun...

Oh, that's right.

Yuu-kun doesn't know yet.

Know what?

I'm

...not interested in girls.

Huh?

H-Huh?!

So that's why you had the wrong idea!

W-Well, then, why were you crying before?!

Before?

I saw you in the hallway, crying.

Oh!

Was it...

This?

I bet it was when I was listening to this.

Huh?

That song was so good!

You should listen to it, too!

It'll make you cry!

A s-song?

Yeah! The lyrics are really sad.

It's about how badly she misses the one she loves.

Oh... Okay...

I thought you were crying because something was bothering you.

You jump to conclusions a lot, don't you?

But it's not like there's nothing bothering me at all.

Not love troubles or anything, but...

I'm not sure why, but I feel confused.

Like nothing I try to do is right for me.

What is it I want to do?!

Um... What about track?

I tried for a while, but that wasn't it.

Hey, Yuu-kun, what is it that I want to do?

Huh? How am I supposed to know?

I guess you're right...

Thanks, though.

You were worried when you saw me crying, right?

Well, yeah...

The "Yuu" in your name is written with the character for "kind," isn't it?

A starlight shining in the winter night

I pray inside as I close my eyes tonight

"Good to hear from you again! Our whole family has been seeing you on TV a lot! My friend even cried listening to your CD today (lol)"

"Good to hear from you again!

My friend even cried listening to your CD today!"

I'm so glad...

Wow!

Fuuka!

Seriously, join the track team!

No way!

You could take on the world!

What are you doing, Nachi?

Ow!

It's such a waste. She flies like a bird.

A bird, huh?

That's true...

But she's a bird in a cage.

A cage?

I sense it sometimes.

She looks like she's having fun, but it's like something's missing.

But even she doesn't know what it is.

So to me, she looks like a bird in a cage.

Um...

What are you talking about?

Did I say something weird?

That's the first time I've heard anyone say something like that in the real world.

So what about it?

I thought that maybe you can open the birdcage

and let Fuuka take flight.

Me?

She seems to be drawn to you.

What were you guys talking about before?

Huh?

Oh, uh, nothing...

Hey, Yuu-kun, are you free this Saturday?

Uh, yeah...

Good! Keep your schedule open!

Hey, wai--

What was that about?

Hello?

Tama-chan?

Y-Yes, it's mel

I'm sorry to call you out of the blue...

Oh, no, it's okay!

Um... Good to hear from you again.

Y-Yeah.

It's really been a long time.

Yeah.

- -H-Hey, um... - -H-Hey, um...

Oh, g-go ahead!

N-No, you first.

Hey, Yuu!

Go buy me some ice cream!

Can't you at least knock?!

What? On the phone with your girlfriend?

No! Put some clothes on!

What?! Yuu has a girlfriend?!

Maya!

What is it, Chitose?

Yuu's on the phone with his girlfriend!

Really?

- -Hey, wait! - -1 am not! Just get out of here!

Sorry about that.

Don't worry about it.

It's a relief to know you and your sisters haven't changed.

They could stand to change a little...

Oh, right!

I have a concert at the Budokan coming up.

What? That's awesome!

You're really going to be on the same stage where HEDGEHOGS played!

Yeah.

We always used to say

that I'd be like Tama, the vocalist of HEDGEHOGS,

and you'd be like the bassist, Nico.

Yeah.

I still can't play the bass at all, though...

Oh, so anyway...

I was hoping you could come to my concert.

Definitely! When is it?

It's this Saturday.

Good! Keep your schedule open!

Sorry... I already have plans that day.

Oh, okay...

I'll definitely go next time!

I really am sorry.

No, it's okay.

Don't worry about it.

Hey...

Is it okay if I call you again from time to time?

Of course.

Oh, good...

U-Um... I'll let you go, then.

Good night.

Yeah.

Good night.

I should've asked Akitsuki what she had in mind...

"Can I call you again?"

"Of course!"

"Koyuki Hinashi Concert Tour"

What? Tama--

Koyuki Hinashi's concert?!

Yep.

You could've told me that was what you had in mind...

I was planning to come with Miho-chan,

but she had to cancel.

Miho-chan?

My aunt.

So I had no choice but to invite you.

Come on, let's go!

H-Hang on!

"Koyuki Hinashi-sama"

Nervous?

Yeah...

When I first got started in music,

it was my dream to perform here.

Have some confidence.

You're here because you have talent and lots of people recognize that.

Oh, no, it's not talent...

I'm just turning my memories into songs.

You mean the boy you used to have a crush on?

Yes, though they're not all about him.

But it was thanks to him that I decided to become a singer.

Even though we're far apart now,

I wanted to sing my best so that my song would reach him someday.

Well, just let the agency know if you end up going out with him, okay?

Th-That's not going to happen!

There was a huge demand for these tickets!

It's a miracle I got them!

And in the front row!

Oh... Yeah.

I'll email her later to tell her I was here.

It's starting!

Yuu-kun, look! Isn't it amazing?

Nico-kun?

JQ I kept dreaming of you even longer than usual this morning J)

> I was so happy, I didn't even hear my alarm J)

- -♪ When will I see you again? ♪

That was great!

Koyuki really is the best!

I'm so glad I came!

It's always kind of lonely after a concert ends, huh?

Like when a festival ends?

Exactly!

It was really fun, though!

I hope I can go again!

Tickets are so hard to get, though...

You really like her, huh?

Yeah...

But didn't Koyuki-chan seem different from usual today?

Huh?

I couldn't really tell...

Really? She was totally different!

They were sad songs about unrequited love,

but she seemed happy.

She's usually blue in color,

but today she seemed more yellow.

Colors?

Now it makes even less sense.

Really?!

You don't see colors when you listen to music?

Not really...

♪ The days you and I spent together, smiling together ♪

JQ I'll never forget those shining memories J)

Well? What color was 1?

Hello?

You're a really good singer, Akitsuki!

R-Really?

I just got lost in your voice!

You're amazing!

You're flattering me.

Thanks, though.

I'm glad I got to go to the concert today.

I feel like it cleared things up for me.

Oh, yeah...

You said you weren't sure what it was you wanted to do.

Yeah, I've felt really mixed up for a while now...

But when I'm immersed in music I love,

that confusion and irritation goes away.

Why don't you try it for yourself, then?

You might actually be cut out for music.

Oh...

So I walked onto the stage, and there you were in the audience!

I was so surprised, since you'd said you couldn't make it.

I wanted to call you as soon as I got home!

My plans with my friend turned out to be your concert.

My friend didn't even tell me.

So that's what happened!

And your concert was great!

I was blown away!

Like, I was so amazed, I couldn't even speak!

Huh?

Sorry...

Did I say something weird?

No, it's not that.

I'm just so happy.

Huh?

I'll call you again, okay?

Good night.

He told me it was great...

Right.

Hey, Yuu-kun!

Come with me for a bit.

Come on, hurry up!

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry about it!

Don't worry about it?!

"Shusseinari Shrine"

A shrine?

Yeah! My parents made a wish here a long time ago,

and then something good happened to them!

What kind of happy-go-lucky story is that?

"Shusseinari Shrine"

You pray for my wish to come true, too.

That'll double my chances!

Is that how it works?

Yes, it is!

So what did you pray for, anyway?

For my dream to come true!

Your dream?

Yeah!

I found what I want to do!

I'm going

to make music!

I felt like even the sky that had shone with summer colors had grown dull

Before I knew it, even the things important to me had been tucked away

I pretended not to notice, but you already saw through me

Your words started to give color to my world

After I take a deep breath, figure out my goal, and resolve myself

I start running now, pulled by your hand

I'll catch the wind with these wings I got from you

I'm sure we'll be able to fly high anywhere together

The trajectory of our shared feelings heads toward tomorrow

I want to keep chasing this dream forever

Ah... Ah...

"Faculty Office"

Huh?

You want to start a light music club?

Yes!

The three of us will be the members!

Huh? "Us"?!

So that's what she was after.

Wha--

W-Wait a minute!

We're starting a band as of today!

What?!

"Next Time: Triangle!"
