It plays DVDs.

Wow!...what's a DVD?

We can't go to Okinawa with our money.

My folks will be all, "No way."

"You can't go for 100 years."

"Go to the public pool."

Money! Money! Money!

Any ideas? We can get a job.

Manual labor!

Deliver papers!

Deliver milk!

That's hard work!

Pick pockets!

That's hard time!

A Porsche!

The guy's rich!

Now what?

I can't do it.

You go, then.

Nice car you got there!

Give us your money!

Quick!

Cut it out!

A hold-up!

Cool!

There's nothing in here!

Not that!

He's loaded!

Give me that!

Give it back!

Oh, fuck!

Hoshino!

They're coming this way!

Get down!

Get out here!

Get in shape, assholes!

You know the southern island

in Lily's "Arabesque"?

It may not be the same place.

But in Okinawa

there's a small island like it.

It's written "New Castle"

and pronounced "Aragusuku."

They say the Gods live there.

From: blue cat

I know that name.

I wonder why?

I can't remember.

From: philia

Wow! Girls!

Hello. Welcome!

Thank you for using Marine Tour, Ltd.

This island is "West Front." But in Okinawan it's "Irifront."

West is "Iri" in Okinawan.

East is "Agari."

South is "Fue."

North is "Nishi."

He's asking how you say "West"...

"Iri"?

Very good.

Let's get in the van.

We'll bring your luggage.

I'll shoot the video!

No, I will!

We'll be at the hotel soon.

Here we go!

Are you going to the Shirahama?

Can I hitch a ride?

Can we give him a lift?

All right?

Thanks.

Sorry to bother you.

Are they ever fast!

Okinawans say man was made from woman's rib.

So women here are very powerful.

You guys be careful.

Can I try it?

What do I do?

The red button?

OK, everybody smile!

Say, "Cheese"!

This is good right here.

I'll get out here.

"Nee Faa Yaa."

Thanks!

"Nee Faa Yaa."

Take care.

My video camera...

Oh, that's right...sorry!

See you!

Take care.

See any wildcats?

Wildcats? That'd be lucky.

We didn't see any.

We want to see one.

He says no one knew they existed until a few years ago.

I've never seen one.

Are they that uncommon?

So rare that people would eat any they found.

What are you doing here?

Poaching?

No. I'm exploring.

Exploring? Cool!

That looks good.

Goya ice. Want some?

Really?

"Nee Faa Yaa."

Thank the boys. They paid for it.

Thanks.

Is this your first time here?

My fourth.

I want to see a "Gorakius."

What's that?

A bird. A kind of heron.

It's the right time of year.

Bye!

Take care!

Hey! The camera!

You look seductive.

Yeah?

So does she!

__You look good too! __Not at all!

Hey, what's that?!

It's lit.

That's great.

Pretty?

Does it makes a circle?

Yeah!

It's so beautiful.

You're prettier.

Can I light it on you?

Me? No way!

Oh, it's out.

Your firecracker may go out, but mine won't.

It's beautiful!

That's it.

Rocket Fireworks!

Careful!

Freaked me out!

Great!

Hey, girls!

What are we gonna do now?

Let's go see the turtles lay their eggs.

Turtles? Can we see any?

Almost every day in August.

So they'll be there tonight?

Probably.

They aren't coming.

Nope.

So there's no guarantee?

I'm afraid not.

I'm not a turtle.

Look at those stars!

Smile, everyone. Look this way.

No turtles!

Not tonight, I guess.

Shall we head back?

Let's go.

It's late and I'm sleepy.

Don't you ever get excited, Hoshino?

Put out that light!

Something flew at us!

Did it hit you?

What is it?

What?

A fish?

What is it?

A flying fish!

It's huge!

It's not a flying fish. It's called "Shijar."

"Shijar"?!

They come flying out of the water.

They're attracted to light.

They could kill you.

Are you all right?

It's huge!

Did you get stabbed, Hoshino?

Hand me a light!

It's huge!

Look! Its mouth is like an arrow!!

Are you all right, Hoshino?

She's cool!

I can't swim like that.

Great!

Is it good?

Yum, yum.

There's that guy again.

What's he doing here?

I thought I smelled something.

Would you like some?

Do you mind?

There's some food left.

My lucky day!

Here you go.

Thanks.

Thank the boys.

Having fun?

Convenient timing.

...so this Ficus tree is also called the "Strangler Tree."

You know why?

Because it wraps itself around another big tree and kills it.

If you shot that in time-lapse, it'd be horrifying,huh?

Coral's the same.

It sticks out a thin tentacle and kills the coral next to it.

It does?

Yep.

For us the natural world is a playground. But for the things that live in it,

it might be hell on earth.

But that's nature for you.

It's good for me.

The place life and death are side-by-side.

It's exciting, don't you think?

That's why I keep coming back.

You said you saw a "Shijar"?

The same family as the "Needlefish."

That's it!

It hit our friend.

That was close!

Get off me!

Shut up!

She can sit on me, though... .

What's that song called?

"The Aragusuku."

"Aragusuku"? What's that?

An island.

The one over there?

The one past that.

It's the most beautiful of these islands.

"Aragusuku".

Are you OK?!

Hey! Somebody!

Are you OK?!

Hoshino!

Are you all right?

All right?

All right?

In Okinawa we say a person has seven lives.

You've lost two, so you've only got five left.

Are you sure you didn't bring something bad here?

You can't live with the Gods angry at you.

Remember.

Life is precious.

Something's happening.

What?

They're stopping.

Are you all right?

He jumped out in front of us!

It's not our fault!

He came out of nowhere.

It's not our fault.

It's his fault.

It wasn't our fault.

It was his fault.

Don't throw the garbage!

That wasn't garbage!

Summer, 1999.

Nostradamus was wrong,

but if the world had ended,

if my life had ended,

during my summer vacation,

I might have been happier.

From: philia

It did end.

Humanity's extinct.

The world we live in now

is "The Matrix"! :-)

From: blue cat

If that's true, humanity's last day

was September 1, 1999.

The first day of school.

From that day on,

the world was gray.

From: philia

Long time no see.

I was just telling them.

You almost drowned?

Tsujii! What's with the hair?

I dyed it.

Who said you could do that?

Tomorrow I want it black.

Inubushi...

You're a fine one to talk!

Look in a mirror!

What?

Your hair.

My hair? What about it?

You're a fine one to talk.

You've got a lot of balls.

You feel really tense.

Let me in there!

Cut it out!

Hold him down!

He jumps...

He's got a blade!

Hey, Dog!

Hey!

Tell me how do you wanna swim?

You'll do the dog paddle.

Do it right!

There!

Fetch!

Fetch!

With your teeth.

Not your hands, your teeth!

That's enough. You can come out now.

Just kidding!

Kanda wants to see you tomorrow.

He says if you want to quit the club, write a letter.

Fuck off.

Inubushi says he doesn't want to come to back to school.

This is a our problem.

Let's talk about how this happened.

Anyone?

"Execution."

The year 2000.

14 years old.

The age of gray.

Only the rice fields,

are that bright, sterile green.

From: philia

You know her?

Tsuda. Tsuda Shiori.

She's from our school.

Sure you know her.

She's in your class.

You know what we have to do?

Just follow her.

That's all.

Hello?

Hello?

Nice to talk to you.

OK...

I like your voice.

How old are you?

I'm 14.

What's your name?

"S"..., "ST."

Are you busy?

No.

You're "T", I'm "S."

Hoshino took some dirty videos of her.

She can't get away.

He'll work her to the bone!

This is your cut.

That's what Hoshino said.

Hey.

See her home. You're in the same class.

Get going.

Is Hoshino sucking money out of you?

Take this.

Pick it up.

For me...

only Lily...

is real.

For me...

only the Ether...

is the proof I'm alive.

But lately

my Ether is running out.

Dear blue cat,

talk to me.

Tell me about Lily.

Or about the Ether.

Or about her.

A girl who likes Lily and Debussy.

From: philia

One, two, three.

A bit too fast.

Sorry.

One, two, three.

Let's take a break.

Are you OK?

I can't do it. Ask Kuno.

Kuno!

Kuno, could you come here?

I want to go home! Let's go home!

Izawa says she can't play it.

Will you do it?

I'm sorry.

Give it a try, OK?

Here we go! Stand up!

Why is Kuno playing?

No one picked her.

Izawa's not feeling well.

What's wrong with Kuno?

We voted on it!

But she's the best!

We can win on just the piano!

It's not a piano contest!

We've all decided on this,

let Izawa do it, please!

Right-o! That's what we call democracy!

Right!!

IZAWA!

Izawa! Izawa!

No way. Izawa has declined.

So What if Kuno declines?

She should decline, and step down now!

STEP DOWN NOW!

Step down now! Step down now!

Enough of this.

We haven't got time for this! Let's practice!

Fine!

OK?

Be my guest!

Let's begin.

Let's bail.

Are they allowed to do that?

Sasaki! Can I go too?

Let's get started!

But how can we practice without them?

Miss, would you call Kanzaki for me?

What's wrong?

No, I'll do it.

Could you conduct, please?

What's going on?

I wonder why they can't sing with Kuno?

Please, Miss. Just open your eyes.

This is out-and-out bullying!

Why do they have to do that?

They have no reason.

Kanzaki says she is genetically repulsed by Kuno.

How do the other girls feel?

If Kanzaki says jump, they ask how high.

Can we change to "Kitten on the Keys"?

You bet!

I changed the arrangement.

It's the "no piano" version.

Aren't we practicing?

I see...a cappella.

"A cappella"?

Soprano, Bass...this is pretty difficult.

Are you serious?

Where's she playing?

A little louder from the top.

Let's turn on the lights.

Aren't we done yet?!

Kuno's not going to play the piano.

So please!

It's a bit late.

We haven't practiced.

Who's going to play?

There's no piano.

We changed the arrangement.

It's a cappella.

"A cappella"?

What's that?

What should I say...

Human karaoke.

"Human karaoke"?

What's that?

So what should I say...

Well, you girls gonna be the stars!

You know the melody.

All you have to do is sing.

That's all. Please!

Hasumi!

You ask, too!

What's this?

Tuning.

Kuno's playing the piano!

No, she isn't!

What's she doing?

Tuning, I said.

Here we go.

Did you arrange that?

Of course not! Kuno did.

See! It's good that she didn't play!

The next...
