Original subtitles

It's me.

Tama-chan?!

What's with the getup?

"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

"#9 Date!"

I came here to film for a variety show before.

Really?

I was wondering why you picked this place.

So it does seem a bit odd?

What do you mean?

Most people would go to an amusement park or see a movie on dates.

Would they?

I like this kind of thing, though.

I'm glad. I was a little worried you might be bored.

We won't get there in time!

W-Wait! What are we doing?

We made it!

The Bell of Time should ring any minute now.

It only rings four times a day.

Wow...

And they say any couple who hears it ring together will be connected forever.

Huh?

Just kidding!

Wh-What does that mean?

Who knows?

Who... but... huh?

I was joking!

H-Huh?

I actually really like walking through towns.

It gives you a chance to slow down.

Yeah.

Is your voice better?

Yeah, it's fine now.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah. It really is.

There's something I realized after all this.

I never knew being able to sing made me so happy.

I really enjoy my job.

Yeah?

I don't really understand what it's like to enjoy a job yet...

If your band becomes a job, you will.

I'm sure of it.

I guess if I went pro, maybe...

Actually, would it even be possible to go pro?

You didn't forget our promise, did you?

Huh?

We're going to stand on the same stage!

Of course.

I didn't forget.

You did forget, didn't you?

No way!

Well, then...

I'm sure music will become your job someday, too.

"Potato"

I did a restaurant report on this place once.

Wow...

I reccommend the sweet potato cream anmitsu.

Then I'll get one of those, too.

Here's your order.

Please enjoy.

See? Doesn't it look great?

Yeah!

See?

Yeah!

"To the Potato Café"

Oh, it's just...

I've never seen your autograph before.

When we're together like this, I forget

that you're someone really famous.

In my mind, you're still the same Tama-chan

who's been my friend since we were kids.

I prefer it that way.

Huh?

When I'm in front of you, I want to be the same me I was back then.

In these past few months...

Things have been so hectic, and so much has happened.

I wasn't thinking of anything but myself.

It's my own fault things ended up that way.

It's not just your--

No, I was selfish.

And because of that,

I caused trouble for you and my manager Yamada-san,

and so many other people.

But my fans cheered me on.

That gave me the strength to get back on my feet.

That's how I can still wish to keep singing forever.

But...

It's only because you're there...

Thank you for responding to my feelings.

No, I should thank you.

I hope you'll be with me...

...forever from now on.

Sure.

Sorry I couldn't spare too much time.

No problem. Good luck at practice.

Oh, and I had a lot of fun today.

Since I came this far,

I think I'll walk around a bit longer.

Will you be okay by yourself?

Don't you think this looks pretty good?

I'd give it about 26 points, I think...

What the heck?

Well, be careful.

Okay.

Bye!

Bye.

"Touch"

Nico-kun!

Next time, let's go someplace you want to go!

Sure!

"Recommended Route"

Crap, I'm gonna be late...

"I'm going to be late! I'm sorry!"

Akitsuki's gonna be mad...

She should really just get a cell phone.

Sorry I'm late!

Took you long enough, Haruna.

Sorry!

I guess you couldn't help it if you were on a date with your girlfriend.

Be forgiving when it happens to me, too.

Even though you don't have a girlfriend?

Shut up!

You were so late,

we were worried that something had happened to you.

Something? What pervy stuff were you imagini--

Sorry. I'll be more careful.

Well, now that everyone's here,

let's get started.

Huh?

What?

I thought you'd be mad...

Everyone else did that for me.

It'd just be a waste of time.

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay, let's start!

Opening act?

You didn't hear about it since you were late.

You're still attacking me for that?

Well, see, Hisashi-san introduced us to his friend's live music club.

He said we should try lots of new experiences and polish our skills.

I guess it's Hisashi-san's way of doting on us.

It'll be our first time playing alongside other bands.

I'm getting psyched up!

You're really on fire, Nachi-senpai.

Be careful you don't strip during our show

to show off those muscles you're so proud of.

I'm not gonna do anything you'd want me to!

That's amazing!

It'll be our first performance as The Fallen Moon!

That's right.

What song should we do?

A HEDGEHOGS cover?

Good question...

I actually wanted to talk to you guys about that.

Are you all free after this?

The thing is, I have a proposal.

I've decided we'll write an original song!

That's fine...

...but who's gonna write it?

Huh? You?

Whoa, come on...

Can you do that?

Remind me... Can you play any instruments?

Jeez!

Even if I can't, I can still write a song as long as I can sing!

Like this...

Humming? Really?

Well, I guess it's not impossible.

I guess.

That's fine, but will it be done before our gig?

I'll make sure it's done in time!

I think it sounds good.

A song written by Fuuka Akitsuki...

The Fallen Moon's first original work.

True.

Okay, make an awesome one, then!

Before that, I wanted to talk with you guys

about what The Fallen Moon's very first song should be like!

Sure.

That sounds good, too.

Yeah...

Sorry, I'm gonna take this.

- -l think it should be something that'll fire up the crowd at our show. - -Hello? Yeah...

Then we should...

Wow, Fuuka-chan's writing a song?

Yeah, but we're still trying to decide what kind of song it should be,

so I'm worried about whether it'll be done in time for our show.

I guess you'll just have to have Fuuka-chan do her best.

Earlier she said, "Like this," and just started humming.

That's just like her.

Yeah, it is.

What's so funny?

I just saw you earlier today,

and I have so much to tell you.

Yeah, you're right.

Are you okay?

I'm outside a family restaurant right now.

Huh?

We were having a meeting...

Oh...

Sorry I called at a bad time.

I'll call you later, okay?

Uh...

Huh?

Just...

I'm really glad you're feeling better.

It's because of you, Nico-kun.

Bye, Tama-chan.

I'll call you sometime, too.

Sorry. I'm heading back in now.

Oh... Yeah.

I think this one works better...

That should take care of the melody.

That just leaves the lyrics...

I guess you couldn't help it if you were on a date with your girlfriend.

Bye, Tama-chan.

Nope, nope! I need a change of pace!

Hey, Koyuki-chan...

I'll be rooting for your love to be realized!

I tried rooting for her,

and I still have no idea

what it's like to be in love...

What is this?

I don't think I like it.

Let's see...

Here's your phone charm.

You can have this one.

The one from back then...

I hope Akitsuki's working hard on that new song.

Found it!

I'd better make sure I don't fall behind.

Ta-dah! I finished the new song!

Well, c'mon! Let us hear it!

Sure!

It doesn't have lyrics yet?

I-1 can't help it!

Okay, I'll make sheet music of the melody.

Sara-san, could you take care of the chords?

Got it.

That was amazing!

Hey, you're the one who wrote it.

But it came out so awesome!

Of course it did.

Compared to you humming, anyway.

Jeez, you're bringing that up again?

By the way, how are the lyrics coming?

Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it?

Sorry!

Give me a little more time!

We don't have a lot of time.

I know!

No,

I'm not trying to rush you,

but we have to come up with harmonies, too.

You're right...

Well, you can't rush great work.

Yeah.

Just make something you're happy with, Akitsuki.

Okay.

When I was practicing our original song in the studio the other day,

my brother said it sounded pretty good.

Really?

Yep.

Getting a compliment from Hisashi-san really makes me happy!

I think it's only natural he'd praise that song.

Yeah.

Have some confidence.

As for you, Yuu-san,

it's like you're not even the same person now.

Huh? Really?

Yes.

I can tell you've been playing your bass constantly.

I know I can't keep holding everyone back forever.

You'v e grown up!

Akitsuki...

Akitsuki?

Something wrong?

Listen, about the lyrics...

I swear I'll get them done in time!

Just wait a bit longer!

We know.

We're looking forward to them.

With high expectations.

Yeah!

I'll write something you'll all be happy with

to make up for keeping you waiting!

Tama-chan?

Huh?

You're still at work?

Yeah. I'm on break now.

What're you doing?

Practicing our original song.

Huh?

You mean the one Fuuka-chan said she'd write?

It's finished?

Yeah, and it came out pretty good.

It sort of feels like something Akitsuki would make.

It's really cool.

I see...

The only thing is, the lyrics aren't written yet.

I see.

We're all really eager to see them done.

Sorry, Nico-kun.

I'd better get going.

Oh, sure.

I'm sorry, too.

Good luck with work.

Yeah...

Oh, do you have some time tomorrow evening?

Huh?

We have practice in the evening...

I was hoping I could see you before that, just for a minute.

Sure.

What's the secret to writing music?

See, I'm in a band,

and I want to write some original songs!

It's one-sided, but yes.

I write songs with the thought in mind that I want to tell him how I feel.

One-sided...

That you want to tell him how you feel...

Fuuka-chan,

you've got a call from someone named Hisashi lwami.

Huh? This early?

"Café-Restaurant Amami"

I bet you were surprised, huh?

This is one of my juniors.

A music producer?

My name is Akira Mogami.

He was once in a band, too.

They used to say they aspired to be like us.

But now he's actually a pretty big deal.

Oh, please...

And what did you want to talk to me about?

This is...

I couldn't believe it!

Not only were you not outdone by Koyuki Hinashi,

but you actually ate her alive!

I'll get straight to the point.

Do you have any interest in going professional?

Us... going pro?

Not "us."

The only thing I'm after is your singing.

Huh?

The first time I saw you, I was stunned.

I felt I'd found a raw diamond

in a rock lying by the roadside!

Gravel roads aren't where you belong!

You're meant to be on a red carpet!

You're a shining gem!

I'm sorry.

I appreciate the offer, but I refuse.

I want to stay with my band members.

See? I told you so.

I see...

If you change your mind, please contact me anytime.

Sure.

I'm pretty sure that won't happen, though.

"Café-Restaurant Amami"

I never take selfies, so now that I see it again, it's pretty blurry.

I'd give it about 26 points, I think.

- -What the heck? You stole that from me! - -What is this? My chest feels all confused...

I don't like this...

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...

"Next Time: Fate"
