Original subtitles

Say, Nana Komatsu. Remember\Nclose to our high school graduation,

we stood beside each other and looked onto\Nthe school grounds from the girls' toilet?

Those stories of love you'd tell me then?

Please, never tell me those again.

When I was darkness at that time

With trembling lips

In a corner of a room I cry

The more I struggle

The more this wound deepens

The broken promise hurt me

Nobody can save me

God, I have only one request

Stop tearing apart my love

I need your love

I'm a broken rose

Sorrow tumbling down is your song

All alone with nowhere to go in my life

I need your love

I'm a broken rose

Oh baby, help me from frozen pain

With your smile, your eyes, and sing me, just for me

I wanna need your love

Thank you

Hello! Welcome to another evening at Junko's room.

Good to see you. How've you been?

In any case this place always has no customers.

No, they'll come. I'm sure they'll come tonight.

Shin and Nobu and Yasu.\NOr maybe the members of Trapnest.

What's this? Did the Demon Lord tell you?

Oh, a customer really came.

Welcome!

Junko. Congratulations on the grand opening!

Huh? Why you, Koichi Sato?

I hear you have some serious fans.\NThey've gotta be real maniacs.

They're not maniacs!

So, how's Nana doing lately?

Huh? By Nana, you mean Nana Komatsu?

Mhm. She hasn't dropped by Jackson Hall lately,\Nand as a result I don't get to appear in this anime much.

Did something happen between her and Shoji?

You really are the worst!

I have totally lost respect for you!

I just didn't get a chance to talk about it.

I wasn't necessarily hiding it.

Don't make excuses! You were planning\Non two-timing them, weren't you?

Junko! Do you think I'm capable\Nof doing something like that?!

Of course not!

You can't do it, yet you try and\Nreach for more than you can handle,

and as a result, you hurt a young woman's loving heart.

You think she's hurt.

Of course she's hurt! Sachiko's in love with you, right?

But maybe I'm just hoping that she is.

She hasn't actually told me that she likes me.

And nothing has changed since. We still continue\Nseeing each other as no more than friends.

Your intellectual level has remained\Nthe same since junior high.

This is nonsense!

Junko!

Don't talk to me like that!\NWhat should I do to make things right?!

You hafta put an end to this.

So Sachiko's more important to you than Nana?

You're wrong!

Koichi Sato, I'm going to work!

I'm gonna break ties with her!

I'll do what I can to be buried in the same grave as Nana!

Sorry to keep you. Let's hurry.

Wait, Sachiko!

I hafta talk to you about something.

You know...!

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

You've done nothing wrong, Shoji.

I jumped to conclusions on my own\Nand got carried away.

I will be careful not to interfere.

I will never interfere in\Nyour relationship with your girlfriend.

So... please. Can't we at least be friends?

Don't ask me to end this.

That's strange.

Shoji should be done with work,\Nbut I get his answering service.

I wonder if he forgot to switch it on.

He's probably cheating on you.

Shoji wouldn't do such a thing!

I'll send him an email.

You know, there's nothing we can do about Shoji.

You know, I didn't think he was the kinda guy\Nwho was capable of cheating, by any means.

As far as I know, neither did I!

He's not just fooling around, either.\NHe's serious about the other girl.

He's seriously fallen in love with Sachiko.

He's no longer able to\Nthink rationally or morally.

There's nothing we can do.

Shoji!

I came.

Hachi wouldn't shut up about wanting to see you.

Umm... Then allow me to show you to your table.

This way, please.

Sachiko.

They're finally finished. Someone's coming out.

Really?

Sachiko!

What are you doing? What's with this woman?

She's my girlfriend.

Huh?!

You telling me that you have two girlfriends?

You sure have it good!

Don't!

Sachiko! It's okay, stay back!

Don't be violent with Shoji!

Stay out of this!\NThis has nothing to do with you!

You're the one who has nothing to do with this!

If you want to hit someone, hit me!

Recorded butterflies in the twilight

H-hey!

I was the one who had a crush on him!

I knew he had a girlfriend,\Nand still I could not stop myself!

Sneak out into the closet

Hachiko!

Why are you just standing there?! This is your fight!

Memories are so kind it's cruel

You do something!

If you don't fight, you've accepted defeat!

He's your man, isn't he? Fight to get him back!

I don't want him.

Quietly stealing the magic

I don't even wanna see his face.

From my view

Can't wake up from this dream, I'm alone

Is that so. So that's what happened.

That's right.

Hey, speaking of the cheating fellow.

He's getting closer.

Oh, he's leaving.

You fool. It's because you tease him too much.

Hey, Shoji. Come over here. Let's drink together.

I'm home.

Hachiko!

A live show! A live show!

They had an opening in an upcoming event at Shimokita,\Nand they're letting us fill that spot and play.

Huh?

It's for thirty minutes on May 5th!

Yay!

Don't cry, Hachiko! We're gonna party today!

My reality is something weird

My unfriendly smile on my way

Nothing new this wearisome day

This world is full of narcissist

The girls dressed are just a put-on

Oops! I'm all thumbs, I'm not like you

Everybody's raping me

Everybody's lying to me

Everybody's looking at me

Everybody's laughing at me

So what! Don't care what people say

I'm going my way

I believe in my way

I'm better than you guys.

I'm living for my sake, no, not for their sake, yeah!

I'm finding my way

I'm finding my love

I'm not stupid like you

All that I need is, I only need is selfless love

All that I need is, I only need is selfless love

Thank you!

I see. And has Nana been able\Nto recover from her problems?

Well, yeah, I guess you could say she recovered, but...

Huh? Then she's back to feeling depressed again?

Oh, no worry of that.

She's had many things going on, one after another.

And did I mention "many things"?

Hm?

Let him tell you the story, Koichi Sato.

Being able to have dinner with\Nthe Blast band members,

and the chance to talk with Nana...\NI'm so happy I could die.

It's like I'm still in some dream.

You're exaggerating.

No, really. I've been a Blast fan since the very\Nbeginning, but nothing like this has ever happened.

It really is like a dream to me.

I see. When you say since\Nthe very beginning, when was that?

It was with the first set of members,\Nback when Ren was in the band.

So, almost four years ago?

It was a shock when Ren left Blast, but don't you think\NShin, the new bassist, plays just like Ren does?

So at the live concert it was like\Na revival of the Blast of old times.

I was really thrilled.

Name a guitarist you respect.

Ren Honjo!

That's the flower of the lotus, isn't it?\NWhy did you choose the lotus?

Actually, it's the ren.

No way.

Still that's no reason to come to my place.

Please tell me, Nobu.\NYou know a lot about this, don't you?

Ren was Blast's bassist.

He and Nana were lovers and they lived together,

but two years ago he was offered the chance\Nto become Trapnest's guitarist.

He came to Tokyo alone,\Nand no one's heard from him since.

So I told him everything.

Wait! No one's heard from him since?\NThen what about him and Nana?

They had a tearful breakup, right?

That's right. And there's nothing left for me to tell you.

I don't hate Ren and I don't wanna badmouth him,

but Ren decided to leave Blast and join Trapnest\Nwithout talking it over with Nana or myself.

Only Yasu knew about it.

Travel to the moon

So at that time, I really felt betrayed,\Nand it was a great shock.

You unravel dreams in your slumber

As a fellow musician, my pride was shot down\Nand I couldn't shake off this feeling of utter defeat.

While controlling the light of a desolate planet

But both Nana and I acknowledged\NRen's talents and we respected that.

We could predict that this would be better for Ren's sake,\Nand of course, that proved to be true.

The smiles forgotten to become strong

Will surely return, if we are together

I believe this was the best outcome.

But Nana...

Back then, she could've gone with him if she desired.

Please realize

I'm here waiting for you

But rather than choose happiness as a woman,\Nshe chose to protect her pride.

Even if the future is nothing like today

I'm here waiting for you

I think that's the reason why she's so insistent on\Nsucceeding as a musician, no matter what.

Keep calling out

I know my heart is reeling in the thread that connects us

She has her heart set on someday reaching\Nthe level of success Ren... Trapnest is enjoying.

So the person I was before will awaken

From time to time, it pains me to see that about her.

No need to cry

Wide open ears\N(Feel something, feel nothing, listen closely listen closely)

Disarm the dream tickler

In the constant moment

(You will find me where it's quiet)

(Listen closely, listen closely)

Let the blood flow through all the spaces

Please realize

I'm here waiting for you

Even if the future is nothing like today

I'm here waiting for you

Keep calling out

I know my heart is reeling in the thread that connects us

Do you still love Ren?

So the person I was before will awaken

No need to cry

You knew.

Please realize

I'm sorry. Acting as if I didn't know. But...

I'm here waiting for you

Even if the future is nothing like today

You brought me here knowing, right?

I'm here waiting for you

Thank you.

Keep calling out

I know my heart is reeling in the thread that connects us

So the person I was before will awaken

No need to cry

Ren...

Hm?

That thing you said earlier. Is it true?

Which one?

Right now, I'm not about to give up my pride\Nso I can't live with you like we used to.

But it would be nice if we could maybe\Nmeet like this from time to time.

Hold each other and talk about each other.

And one day when we're much older,\Nwhen I no longer care about pride and vanity,

when I've grown tired of singing...

Then can I return to that home too?

So that's pretty much what happened.

Huh? Where'd Koichi Sato go?

He went home a moment ago.

Did he pay?

There. He left a Jackson Burger for you.

Barter trade?! But I love his Jackson Burgers!

Though that one's already cold.

Welcome!

What is Ms. Sakagami, age 38, doing here?

Because of her serious fans...

who don't exist.

No they don't.

Excuse me, you people over there.

Y-yes?

I hear you're friends of Nana Komatsu.

What is it with that girl? First of all,\Nwhen it comes to her work ethics...

You know this woman is your typical character\Nwho ends up having very few appearances.

Even fewer than Koichi Sato.

Mhm. This is very strange.

Why are we visited by all these characters\Nwho hardly appear in the show?

That's because this is where\Nthe "Characters with Few Appearances" gather.

Huh?

With you three at the lead.

No way!

Th-that's impossible.

We will have many more appearances.

You'll have no more.

That's not your decision to make!

You've got plenty blooming lately\Nright in your own garden.

I want happiness as soon as possible too.

Or rather, a boyfriend.

Then we'll organize a party.

Not that way. I want a love that's meant to be.

Oh, but now that you mention it,\Na party might be good, too.

Say, Yasu, do you have a girlfriend?

Unfortunately, I'm not popular with the women.

Say, Nobu, don't you have a girlfriend?

I don't.

Presently recruiting "within-reach characters".

Super within-reach character

Welcome home, Nana.

Miss Komatsu!

How long is it taking you to sort those postcards?

You really are slow!

Miss Komatsu!

Can't you even make copies properly?!

I'll call you later.

Come on, Ms. Sakagami.\NWhat are you doing here wasting time?

Please get back to work.

Ms. Sakagami!

The Chief says I'm fired!

Naturally.

Huh?

No way. Ms. Sakagami. Although you were hard on me,

I thought you were the kinda person\Nwho would stand up for me in the end.

Do you think the world exists for you?!

It's a result of how spoiled you've been acting. Farewell.

Unidentified Caller

Yes?

Nana?

It's me, Takumi.

Do you have a moment to talk?

Sure.

I reached into the sky

But I couldn't reach what I wanted

They grew smaller and disappeared into the sky

Like colorful balloons

I'm alone

My hand had no place to go

And gently you took it

Starless night

I won't look back at the shadow of my past

I want to feel your warmth

Tears are falling down

Even if I'm unsure I won't let go

Of your hand holding mine

So, there you have it. How did you enjoy\Nthe second episode of "Junko's Room"?

Until the next time!

Goodbye!

You are pathetic.
