Original subtitles

Having transferred from Kagawa to Omotesand? High School,

I, Kagawa Makoto, made a plan

to reunite my parents on the verge of divorce

by finding a love song in the choir.

But the once prestigious choir is on the verge of abolition.

I will definitely sing.

We successfully added Hikita Rina,

who was clinging to the edge of the 1st team,

and our next target was the ghost member Miyazaki Tasuku.

Your feeling is correct.

Everyone has the right to sing.

Ariake-sensei's testimony convinced me of Miyazaki-kun's love of singing,

and with the power of choral singing we successfully brought him back.

However, the choir will disband in just 2 weeks.

We still need two more members for it to continue.

Be sure to submit the printouts before next week.

Homeroom is now finished. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Choir!

Kagawa-san and Sakuraba-kun, stay behind.

This is the midterm test.

Until you pass the makeup exam, extracurricular activities are prohibited.

Prohibited?!

That's the rule!

Oh no~!

Kagawa, you're an idiot.

"Idiot"...

Kaito-kun!

Please teach me to study!

Me, too, please.

No, I've got errands today.

Besides, there are better students than me.

Over there.

Please!

Please!

I want to sing, too!

- We get it. - Really?

Will you come, too?

- Sorry! - If that's settled, let's study.

Come one, let's go~!

What will you do going alone?

The outfielders are out of hand.

- Annoying. - It's all Kagawa, Kagawa.

She's too friendly with the 1st team's Kaito-kun, right, Yuria?

You think?

I don't mind it.

So the Satch? Alliance linked the Satsuma and Ch?sh?.

By the way, do you know who mediated?

- Pel�! - No, you mean Perry.

- Ah, Perry, right? - It was Sakamoto Ry?ma!

- That's it! - That's it!

If you take singing from Kagawa Makoto, is there just stupidity left?

Here it is. What do you think?

It's badly deteriorated.

The foundations are old.

It'd be quicker to dismantle than rebuild.

What are you talking about?

A new boarding house is going to be built here.

- But this is the choir practice room. - I know.

Naturally we'll wait until you've disbanded.

2 more weeks.

Ah~ Zero results today!

It's hard in the middle of the year.

- We'll do it, right? - Be quiet.

You're holding us back right now.

Just focus on that makeup exam.

That's right.

Tasuku...

I'm sorry.

When you were a suspect I didn't defend you.

Why say that now? It's fine.

My record is 7.

- Why are you proud of that? - Shut up!

The choir get on well.

Really?

You do.

Oh, Sakuraba!

You're joining the choir?

You'll be better off there. It's about time.

That suits him, the choir.

Sorry, gotta stop by somewhere.

See you.

Has Sakuraba-kun always done baseball?

He's a typical baseball fool who can't do anything else.

But he was hit in the eye by a dead ball,

and it damaged his vision on the left side.

Even though he got in on a recommendation

he can't do anything.

The club are hard on him, too.

Ah, in that case,

couldn't he give up baseball and join us?

Right, the baseball club are always raising their voices,

so his volume's perfect.

He may have a surprisingly good voice.

Let's think up a strategy.

- See you, Minayo-chan. - Thank you.

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

What's going on?

A customer gave me his address.

I'm not on the shelf yet, you know.

The divorce isn't final yet.

Don't you feel sorry for Dad?

It's a matter of time.

Time to start marriage hunting, maybe~.

No... This is a problem.

I haven't even found the love song yet.

Hey, Mum, didn't you say Dad

was a man with a straightforward voice? So...

That's ancient history.

Still~

It's true when we started dating he lived a straightforward life.

He was devoted.

? The joy of living (The joy of living)

He didn't skip practice.

When choir ran late, he walked me home.

I did like that.

But his natural enemy was here.

He was a delinquent, so Dad hated him from the start.

Please!

He suddenly tried to look diligent,

but it was too late.

I didn't fight Dad's opposition, either.

Hitting a high schooler was overkill.

She's my precious daughter.

Why wouldn't I worry?

For you lot's sake,

I'm prepared to beat him up again.

Ready?

Ow ow ow...

- Ah~ Oww... - Grandpa?

Back strain?!

Mum's taken him to hospital.

How did things turn out that way?

The circumstances just...

How are things over there? Is Mum okay?

She's feeling great. A customer gave her his address.

Hey, Onee-chan, pull yourself together.

At this rate the divorce crisis will get worse.

I'm sorry. There's a lot going on.

Mayumi, behind you! Behind you!

Dad! What are you doing?!

Dad, that's creepy!

We summarised all the important points.

Eh? All of this?

- It was loads of work. - We'll let you borrow it.

Wah, thank you!

We can go back to club now, right?

Sakuraba-kun?

Mm, yeah.

Ah, ta-da. We've also got this for you.

- What's that? - We thought you might be interested.

No way, I need to get results at baseball.

Right.

A cabaret club again?

Isn't half price day tomorrow?

Don't go thinking I'm always stingy.

When I need to, I can do it.

You're even taking a gift?

Is there a hostess you're targeting?

Shut up. Something like that.

Oh, is that for the makeup exam?

Good work.

Table 2, good luck in your studies~

Yuria, I'm sorry.

The drama have dropped you.

The president pushed for Miki.

That's bad!

Miki came through our actress audition department,

and she's done theatre.

You're associated with being a weather girl.

You're saying that now?

You're the one who said to do weather.

Want to quit the weather, then?

Enough.

I'm going home.

Go away!

However many times, the answer's the same!

You can't give back my son's future!

You... You stole it!

- You! - Stop that!

What has this person done?

He's a murderer!

Murderer.

What were you doing there?

Is "Murderer"...

I'll have the fried chicken.

It's no fun if it's not fried.

What happened?

How long ago did you join us?

About 2 years ago.

This is my third year.

Do you regret becoming a teacher?

Ever thought you'd like to redo your life?

How about you?

I wanted more lucrative work.

Listening to a lousy choir every day.

The salary's mediocre. It's a disappointing life.

But you're continuing, aren't you?

- Thank you for waiting. - Oh, it's here.

- Well, cheers. - Yes.

The choir's gone crazy, anyway.

It's her fault, uh... Kagawa Makoto?

Ah~ What's up with that girl?

Since she transfered she's thought of nothing but the choir.

Why does she want to sing so much?

Maybe if you tried singing you'd know?

I thought I was finally free from being deputy advisor.

People like that are a pain, right?

Influential, or rather, infectious.

They've all turned stupid.

Choir fools.

Omotesand? High School Chorus!

Subtitles by Candylemon

Work again tomorrow. Yuck. Ugh~

Oh, you've lost your tension, Seyama-teacher.

I thought being a teacher would be full of dreams.

Helping each student spread their wings!

But in reality I can't do anything but nag them.

Well, that's a teacher's job, too, Seyama-teacher.

We can't escape from reality.

Really~

Top grade reality, bastard.

Oh, fine, here goes.

Let's sing, Seyama-teacher.

? Let's all sing together

? Our hearts becoming one

And...

? Even in the sad times

? Even in the hard times

? Let's all sing together

? Letting our voices ring out

? Loud and unashamed

? Let's sing

? The song of our hearts on fire

? Will bring you back to yourself

? Into the shining world

? Riding my song

? Into the shining world

? Delivering a message of love

Seyama-teacher, you're a good singer.

No no... But I feel better now.

- I'll work hard again tomorrow! - You see?

You know, right?

Why they want to sing.

? Delivering a message of love

Good work on the makeup exam.

You both passed.

Yes!

But aren't you devoting too much time to club activities?

If you don't study a bit, you'll cry at exam time.

It's fine. Even though I studied to sing,

it's a waste not to do it properly.

Let's go, Sakuraba-kun.

Yeah.

Wait a moment.

Finally we can focus on club activities.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

This song...

It's my favourite.

This?

There's something about it.

The brass band played it to support the baseball club before.

So this is how it sounds on piano.

Why did anyone recommend you?

Stand up! Hopeless.

Put things away properly.

That recommendation was a mistake.

Sensei?

Harada-san~ Long time no see!

It's been years!

Has Makoto been causing trouble?

I was shocked.

A child just like you bursting into song.

I'm sorry.

But I'm hoping

someone like that...

Some things can only be changed

by a straightforward, uninhibited child.

So, how's Kagawa-kun?

He's in Kagawa.

We're in divorce arbitration.

Oh, that's a shame.

You were such a good match.

You have no regrets?

No, I've decided...

Still, I wonder about Kagawa-kun.

He's bad at giving up.

A little before you started dating...

You like her that much?

- Hello. - Hello.

- Listen, Kagawa-kun. - Yes.

If it's a false version of you that's accepted,

I wonder if that has any meaning?

If he'd gone on pretending to be something he wasn't,

I think even his voice would have changed.

It's pathetic.

Straining my back.

This is actually the second time.

Really?

Your father

is bad at giving up.

You keep out of this!

Ow...

That was pathetic.

But since Minayo's heart was set on him,

I decided to try trusting him.

As a parent, what you want most

is for your child to be happy.

It's not about logic.

But if it was for Minayo's happiness,

I thought

it was a parent's job to trust him.

Dad, I'm here.

Oh, long time no see.

Been busy with training?

The intrasquad game is coming up.

Then you shouldn't come here.

Concentrate on baseball.

How are the side effects?

To be honest, it's difficult.

But when I picture you playing baseball,

it gives me fighting spirit.

How's your form?

Great. Everyone relies on me.

I've got to be a solid captain.

When's the game?

Eh?

Saturday next week.

Maybe your mum and I will go and watch.

I think I can get permission to go out.

But...

- It's just an intrasquad game. - That's fine.

I want to see.

If I see you doing your best,

that'll help me to keep fighting.

Kagawa...

Wow, this is embarrassing.

Lying that I'm the captain when I'm just a substitute.

When I couldn't take a red point in training,

I was honestly relieved.

My left eye is useless.

I can't react like I think.

I can't even keep up in practice.

Honestly, I've reached my limit.

I see.

It might be time to quit.

But I can't give up at this late stage.

If I gave up baseball,

I'd stop being me.

Listen...

Do you enjoy baseball?

Yeah.

I do.

In that case, it's fine.

I think you doing what you enjoy

is what will make your father happiest, too.

I'll support you, too.

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower swaying in the wind

? You have to keep on believing in yourself

? Tomorrow is coming, whatever the time

? Tomorrow is coming for you

I'm begging you!

Please!

Captain, please! Let me compete!

- Huh? - No way we would!

- You're useless! - In exchange...

If I can't hit even one ball,

I'll leave the baseball club.

Sound's good.

If you're prepared to do that,

I'll let you do it.

Hello, Hasumin?

Oh, Makoto!

You haven't been keeping in touch.

I thought you'd turned into a Tokyoite.

Sorry, I'm so busy.

That's fine, then.

You sound like you've cheered up.

Honest?

I can tell.

So, what's up?

Ah...

There's a song I want to know.

Arrange this song, please.

Please!

Again?

- What's it for this time? - Support.

If he doesn't get a result in the match,

Sakuraba-kun will be kicked out of the baseball club.

Worthless.

You're in no position to worry about other people.

But I've decided to support him.

How much will it take?

I don't need money.

Really? Well, if you insist,

- please do it for free... - Don't be stupid.

You're an idiot.

Obviously there's a condition.

Who?

Eh? I can eat it?

Thank you.

Itadakimasu.

Yum~!

Hey, Kaito-kun...

Ever been to a cabaret club?

No way. I'm a minor, you know.

I need an email address.

From Moe-chan of "Bambi".

She wouldn't tell Ariake-sensei.

I knew you'd want a favour from me.

You're mistaken.

But...

...you ate it, right?

My bent?.

Counting on you!

- No way. - But you're eating.

Why do I have to go to a cabaret club?

Kagawa-san!

It's about Kaito.

Mm.

You've seemed close lately,

so I thought I'd give you some advice.

You'll be the one hurt.

What do you mean?

He's a great guy,

but he's nice to every girl.

They all get the wrong idea.

Or have you already kissed?

Kissed?!

Don't be silly!

Or held hands?

No, no way, no way...

But you should be careful.

Because Kaito...

...is dangerous.

See you.

No no no no....

She wouldn't even give Suzuki Ariake the address, right?

He cleans up for coming here,

but he said she still wouldn't.

Then what's a student like me supposed to do?

Huh? What...

Moe-chan! Moe-chan!

See you~

Go!

What?

A high schooler?

It's hopeless.

Yes, um...

Could you give me your email address?

- Chatting me up? - No...

Ah, actually... Never mind. Sorry.

Wait a minute!

You're...

...cute, aren't you?

What?

Easy score.

I'm so glad.

Thank you!

- Ah... - Hm?

Amakusa.

Kagawa, run.

Eh?

That was close.

If he'd seen, we'd be in trouble.

Yeah.

Well, take care going home.

See you tomorrow.

Seriously~?

Natsume got it when I couldn't?

Seriously...

Still, do the arrangement, please.

Ah~

It's over there.

Ah~ Moe-chan~

Thank you very much!

...And Miko.

What's this?

Sakuraba-kun will be in the game on Saturday.

I thought we'd support him with this.

I know I'm in no position to worry about other people,

and that you wanted him to join the choir.

But what's most important to him is baseball.

If possible, can we sing?

Because...

...I can't leave him alone.

He's trying so hard.

We knew you'd say that.

Let's sing together.

We can read you like a book.

We don't have to hear you to know.

I want to sing, too, and support him.

If we work hard, we'll make it in time.

Once it's done, work on getting more members.

You haven't been working, lately.

- That's right. - Singing instead of work.

Thank you, everyone.

Let's do it!

I'll be frank, Natsume-kun.

If you don't have the surgery soon,

it'll be too late.

Another date yesterday?

Lucky.

I envy Kagawa-san.

It's not really like that.

She's like a new toy, anyway?

Rushing around here and there, you won't get tired of just watching.

Yeah...

That might be true.

I'm her fan.

Huh?

She's full of energy.

When I'm with her, I don't need to think of other things.

Stupid worries and such.

I can forget about the future,

and get wrapped up in the present.

You should find something to get wrapped up in, too.

What the hell?

? That smile of yours is sad

? Look at the moonlight above the buildings

? Embracing your memories

? If you throw away your pride

I've been listening for a while,

and you're not even a proper ensemble.

Kagawa get a more upbeat bite at the back.

Sasaki and Andrew, your pitch is unstable.

More support from the diaphragm.

Hikita, your tone doesn't match theirs.

Listen to the voices around you.

Aiba and Miyazaki, you need more volume.

The basses should support the harmony.

Ah...

Ah, no, that's, um...

Just now, Seyama-sensei said...

It's unforgivable.

The fact that man is still teaching...

Thank you for telling me.

Not at all.

If there's anything I can do,

please contact me anytime.

Sakuraba-kun, work hard!

We're supporting you~

Hey~ Hey, Sakuraba!

Are you listening?

What the hell? Ignoring us?

- Kaito, did you know? - What?

After this, it'll be Sakuraba's final game.

Line up!

Bow!

If you don't get a hit, you're out.

- I know. - Daisuke!

Go for it! Sakuraba-kun, good luck!

Strikeout! Batter out!

Ah, Sakuraba's up.

Daisuke, go for it!

Please.

Strike~!

The ball's running.

Strike 2!

Strike 3! Batter out!

Daisuke, don't worry!

- Daisuke! - You can do it!

- Now's his chance. - Go on, Daisuke!

Pitcher!

Okay!

If he doesn't hit it next time, he really will be out.

Third, third.

This is the last chance.

Go on!

Go on, Daisuke!

Sakuraba-kun, go for it!

You can hit it!

Sakuraba...

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower blooming in asphalt

? Don't be afraid of the things you see

? Tomorrow is coming for you

? Lalalalala lalala

? Lalalalala la la la la

? Suddenly wanting to meet

? When something happened late at night

? Even when you hurry with a joke

? That smile of yours is sad

? Look at the moonlight above the buildings

? Embracing your memories

? Once you've thrown away your pride

Hit it, Sakuraba!

? There are good things to find

? Ah~

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower blooming in asphalt

? Don't be afraid of the things you see

? Tomorrow is coming for you

? Lulululululu lululu

? Lululululu lu

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower blooming in asphalt

Foul ball!

? Don't be afraid of the things you see

? Tomorrow is coming for you

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower swaying in the wind

? You have to keep on believing in yourself...

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower blooming in asphalt

? Don't be afraid of the things you see

? Tomorrow is coming for you

? We are only as strong as the number of our tears

? Like a flower swaying in the wind

? You have to keep on believing in yourself

? Tomorrow is coming, whatever the time

? Tomorrow is coming for you

? Ah~

GO!!

Thanks for supporting me.

Well done.

It's over.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

I've been lying all this time.

To you and to myself.

I've already reached...

...my limit with baseball.

But I was afraid to admit it.

I was afraid of running away.

I couldn't say it.

But...

I can't lie to myself anymore.

Dad...

Please let me give up baseball.

I'm sorry.

Daisuke.

I'm sorry.

Sakuraba-kun was cool.

I'm glad we supported him.

We worked hard, too, but we're still two members short.

- Wait... - Whoa, what?!

What are you doing?!

Since I quit, it would be awkward to be in the clubroom.

Yes, but...

- Besides, I'll be here from now on. - Here?

Eh?

You're...joining the choir?

Can't I?

Your support was pretty moving.

Thank you.

Welcome to the choir!

Sakuraba-kun!

Hello there! Has something good happened?

We only need one more member.

That's unfortunate.

But the deadline is still ahead.

The company wants to dismantle as soon as possible...

Wait a minute! This isn't what we agreed!

Please begin.

Wait, please! Wait!!

Excuse me.

I'd like to join the choir.

You'd like accompaniment?

Really?

So...that means...

Eight members!

Hooray~!

We can sing, we can sing...

I've come to collect you, Minayo-chan.

Come in.

Excuse me.

You have some visitors.

It seems there's something they want to tell you.

What is it?

You are Suzuki Ariake-sensei?

This is Oyamada Ayako-san.

- You know, don't you? - Yes.

We are going to sue you.
