Original subtitles

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 choir was on the verge of abolition.

After all kinds of struggles,

we finally succeeded in gathering eight members.

Ariake-sensei returned and the choir was finally revived.

Tani Yuria also returned to her true self thanks to the power of choral singing,

and joined the choir.

Not long after,

I saw my mother on a date with a man I didn't know.

I have a feeling my troubles are going to increase!

After the holiday, you'll begin preparing for exams.

There's no such thing as starting too early,

so be sure to study hard.

That's everything. Goodbye.

I don't want the summer holiday.

Huh? It's the summer holiday, Kagawa.

- Who wouldn't like it? - I don't want free time.

When school's on, I can see everyone.

After school there's choir, even if I'm worn out by bedtime.

Rough days, aren't they?

But I don't get what's good about the summer holidays.

We're still gonna practise, you know.

Hold it, we'll play a bit too, right?

To finish the season of love.

You guys are taking the contest too lightly.

That's settled then, we'll immerse ourselves in singing!

Let's go!

Ohoho?

Even Yuria-sama has finally joined the outfield?

How lame!

It's embarassing!

Yuria!

- Come along~ - Let's go!

Choir, choir, choir...

About the choir...

If we don't get our funding,

it'll be hard to go to training camp.

That's true.

Wait a moment, please.

This year's budget has already been distributed.

- There's not a single yen left. - No way!

If there's no budget, I'll introduce you to a training camp

A free one.

Well then... Headmistress!

They were going to disband!

Now they're going to be in a contest.

It's a big deal. It's inspiring.

In exchange, work hard for the contest!

Yes! We will!

Thank you very much.

Relax the muscles.

Hey! Gather round, you lot.

- Meeting. - Right.

- I have bad news. - What is it?

We're gonna...

...go to training camp!

You'll be drilling the basics.

Answer from the diaphragm!

Yes!

It's for 3 days and 2 nights...

Gotta buy body cream, too.

Is that used for singing?

Throat lozenges are...

It's not about singing.

Leeks, ginger and daikon are good...

- What do you think? - Give it here.

Ah, that's nice.

Makoto, give me your hand.

- What? It's greasy... - Smells good.

I think it would suit you.

Of course it wouldn't.

I'd never wear it.

Eh? What?

It's a waste how you are now.

It's no good.

Wait!

- White, maybe~ - White, maybe!

- Well? - It's cute~!

- I'm hungry~ - Me too~

- Cute... - I'll take this one.

Finally...

It'll be fine, really.

Ah, Onee-chan, stop Dad!

What's going on?

Makoto, I'm going back to Kagawa.

Huh? Why?

The man we saw with your mother...

I've remembered him.

He was our classmate.

The "Dekisugi-kun" of Omotesand?,

Uchida Y?ki.

Dekisugi-kun?

He was vice president of Minayo's student council,

and made a play for her back then.

Wait, that doesn't matter.

You're giving up and leaving things this way?

He was the perfect man.

Student council vice president,

captain of the soccer team,

always near the top of the class,

popular with his classmates...

Have more self-confidence.

You're the only father we want!

- Right? - Yeah!

Makoto... Mayumi!

Put that away at the table.

- Who's it from? - Hm? Ah.

E-ma-ga-zine.

Honestly, what are you so happy about?

She's been like it since noon.

It's just like when she started dating your father.

At that time, her chopsticks rolled

and she burst out laughing.

Are e-magazines that funny?

Mum, what type of men do you like?

Well-groomed...

Yum! Totally yum!

- What else? - Let's see...

Smartly dressed and stylish,

with high mental intellegence.

But...

don't you want to be loved more than to love?

Right now, I want to love more than to be loved.

What? Is there someone you like?

Hey, isn't that kind of gross?

Why? I'm a woman, too.

For us, before you're a woman

you're our mother.

But you have someone you like, too, don't you, Makoto?

No! I'm not interested!

I'm no good at that stuff.

I'm full. Gochisousama...

- Onee-chan! - Mayumi...

Mayumi, while I'm at training camp

be sure to keep an eye on Mum.

Leave it to me.

Damn you, Dekisugi...

Tani-san's still not here,

and it's not like Miko to be late.

Seriously, she's a veteran.

Ah, here comes Yuria.

- Sorry! - Morning!

You're late!

- Morning. - Morning.

What are you grinning for?

Ta-da!

- Sasaki, you look different. - Shut up!

Natsume, leave me alone.

Cute.

Totally cool.

Why've you gone all lovestruck?

Hearts in your eyes.

Morning.

Sensei's waiting, so hurry up.

Yes yes yes...

- I want ice cream. - I'm bursting.

Hey! This is it.

- Here. - Whoa!

Huh? She said the caretaker would meet us.

You're here at last!

Headmistress, you're here?

You're the caretaker?!

- Welcome. - I'll take those.

Get inside, all of you.

We'll start training soon.

You can leave your bags inside.

Nami-chan, what's up?

Nothing...

Do you use this place as a villa?

Occasionally, during the holidays.

Eh~ Alone?

Well, yes.

- Here. - Thanks.

Since I'm alone, I'm thinking of selling it.

This may be the last training camp.

That's such a waste!

- It might be the first time. - That's right.

Eh?

Where are you going?

Here...

Someone's in here.

Eh?

I can sense a ghost.

Ghost?

What do you mean?

- What are you doing? - Ah! What?

Headmistress.

- Headmistress? - Is someone in this room?

Did you see something?

- A man... - Stop it, please~

Nobody's there.

Go and get to practice.

That's right, practice. Let's go.

Alright, freely sing out your fullest.

- Yes! - 3 and...

? A dog's belly goes hahahaha

? With the abdominal muscles, hahahahaha

? Mimicing dogs

? Let's begin our staccato training

? Hahaha- hahahahaha

? Hahaha- hahahahaha

? Hahaha- Hahaha-

? Hahaha- Hahaha-

? Hahahahahahahaha hahaha ha

? Ha ha ha

Done!

Ah~ That felt great!

- Again! - Again, again!

Right!

10 minute break to enjoy the scenery.

Keeping sharp is vital. Off you go.

Are you feeling bad?

Ah, no, I'm fine.

I am.

I hope you are.

Natsume.

Don't keep secrets.

Don't make a habit of lying.

It clouds your voice.

The choir is getting lively.

How are the children?

Since they've been here, all they talk about

is who's cool, and who's dating who.

It's cheeky, but kind of cute.

How about you?

Is there someone you like?

Maybe Ariake-sensei?

No no no!

No way!

Insincere and with no life energy,

he gives up straight away,

100% not my type.

How about you, Headmistress?

You've been married, haven't you?

- In the past. - The past...

That carrot's disappearing.

Tomorrow night's a campfire!

What shall we cook? Let's think!

This is a haunted house!

Who's that?

It's rumoured a ghost appears.

- I knew it. - Eh?

Omotesand? High School Chorus!

Subtitles by Candylemon

Good work.

I can't do this well.

Ah, bass?

Mm.

I wanna go back to being a tenor.

I'm not a bass.

I like it, though.

Hm?

Ah... Your bass.

- I mean your voice. - Thanks.

I see...

Miko, do you...

...like the director?

Huh?!

What? Who likes who?

That conversation made it clear.

Plus you've been staring at him since this morning.

- It's that obvious? - Totally.

Do you think he's noticed, then?

Nah, I don't think he's noticed yet.

Why are you relieved?

If he doesn't notice,

you should increase his awareness of you

by decreasing the distance between you.

What should I do?

The first step is to meet his eyes.

Eyes?

Andrew, you can have this.

Then, the moment your eyes meet...

Hey.

Eh?

If there's something you wanna say, do it.

Is something bothering you?

No...

Nothing...

Let... Let...

- Let's get croquettes! - Wait, Rina!

That didn't go like you said.

That's odd...

It's what the magazine said...

Have you used it yourself?

- Sorry, no. - Some former 1st teamer.

I thought you were after Natsume?

Yes, but...

? Don't cry, my love

? Worrying can be joyful

They're starting.

- I'll go on ahead. - Thank you.

? I realise in the troubled times

? How much I cherish you

? More than I ever used to

? I realise when you're in my arms

Come on!

? You

? I miss you, I miss you

? You

? I miss you, I miss you

? On sleepless nights

? I think too much

? Wanting to meet you in my dreams

? On sleepless nights

? If I meet you in my dreams

? Where shall we go to?

? If you are with me

? I'll go anywhere

Aren't you gonna sing with us?

Me?

I'd rather not.

Why not?

You like choruses, don't you?

I'm sorry.

Please, eat up.

That's a point,

I've never heard her sing either.

She's passionate about choral singing,

and she was the advisor before me,

but I haven't seen her sing once.

Why not?

Singing is surprisingly tiring.

I was shocked.

But our training's basic compared to powerhouse schools.

Seriously?

Listen...

Does Hikita...have a boyfriend?

Rina?

I haven't heard anything like that.

- I see. - What's that, Daisuke?

Do you like Hikita-san?

Seriously? Really?

You do?

I'm gonna do batting practice.

Bingo.

What? But it's nasty!

I don't wanna~!

Can I...

...try some, too?

This?

Maybe it wouldn't suit me?

No no, it would. Pass it.

It's like painting.

Spread it like this.

Painting with your hands.

Hello?

Onee-chan, what should I do?

Mum said she's meeting a classmate again.

She's gone out?

They were exchanging emails from midday.

She went out straight after making dinner.

Have you told Dad?

"I-I feel like my stomach's tearing apart", he said.

Oh no~

I understand.

Tell me if anything else happens.

DEKISUGI~!

Is he your boyfriend?

- No... My mum's. - Your mum's?

Huh? Boring~

Kagawa-san?

Come on in.

Sorry.

Where is this?

My husband's room.

Just like when he died.

Sit down.

I'm sorry.

He was a music teacher, too.

The leader of a talented chorus.

What does this say?

Amoroso.

It means "lovingly".

It's from the Italian "amore".

Amore.

Anch'io!

The times we sang together were when I was happiest.

? Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

? That's what love is to me

? I can understand everything

It was found he had pancreatic cancer.

There were 2 options.

He could be admitted to hospital for anti-cancer therapy,

Or refuse therapy

and stay here

to spend his remaining days in peace.

Let's accept the treatment.

Darling!

I wanted to live with him.

I'll fight it.

He kindly accepted my wishes.

He loved Sakamoto Ky?-san's "Kokoro no Hitomi".

It gave him hope he would sing here again.

"We'll sing together again!"

"I'll do my best!"

"I'll do my best"...

In the end,

the painful treatment continued...

...until he was gone.

He wasn't able to come back here

or sing again with me.

It's my fault.

That's not...

When you invited me to sing with you earlier,

I was happy.

Yes.

But the thing is,

I've decided never to sing again.

Just me singing without him...

I can't do it.

Sensei...

Didn't you say it yourself?

Everyone has the right to sing.

That...

made me happy.

I...

don't believe there's anyone who shouldn't sing.

Since you love choirs so much,

I want to hear you sing, too.

Goodnight.

Morning.

- Morning. - Morning.

- Good morning. - Morning.

Here, Director.

Ah, you smell good.

Me too?

What?

Nothing...

Eh? What?

What's going on?

Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

That's what love is to me

What?

- What is it? - What's that?

What's going on?

It's too spooky.

- 1, 1! - Chorus!

- 2, 2! - Chorus!

- Sing out, sing out! - Chorus!

- 2, 2! - Chorus!

Ow...

Chorus...

Side by side, we will share

All the love there is for all of time

- I'm hot~ - Welcome back!

- We're back! - I'm hungry!

- When's lunch? - It's all ready.

Wash your hands, first.

Be sure to gargle, too.

What's next?

The final, "That's what love is"...

Sending ghost letters is just like Makoto.

Isn't it just tricking her?

It can't be helped.

It should really be her husband

who persuades her to sing again,

but he's dead now.

I don't think

he'd resent her for it.

Didn't he find the courage

to start the treatment

because he wanted to live more?

So he'll have accepted the concequences.

I've brought some more.

Here you go.

Thank you!

Again?!

I'm scared! I'm scared!

- Hey hey hey... - Again?

Again...

You're the ghosts, aren't you?

No...

I'm sorry.

It seems I've made you worry.

But you know,

the fact I won't sing

is something I decided myself.

I believe I did something so cruel

it took away his favourite song.

Let's accept the treatment.

I'll fight it.

It may seem selfish,

but let me do as I wish.

? Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

Hm?

Who's that?

? That's what love is to me

? I can understand everything

? No need for words, just the warmth of your chest

What is this?

My husband's voice.

? However long life may go on

This takes me back...

? Simply because you are here now

It's from when he sang to me just before he was hospitalised.

? Side by side, we will share

But why did the tape suddenly play?

But why did the tape suddenly play?

Kagawa?

? All the love there is for all of time

It wasn't me.

- It must've been. - I didn't do anything.

It wasn't Kagawa-san.

Because this tape...

I've listened to it over and over,

so it's become stretched.

Ah...

Then...why?

? I can only go on living because of your footsteps

Maybe there's a ghost after all?

Stop it, I'm scared.

Shh!

? If I lose my youth someday, my heart alone

? And its bond with you will never change

Yuria...

Got a minute?

What's up?

Am I weird?

Eh?

I can't get used to it.

Not wearing glasses.

You'll get used to it.

It feels like I'm lying.

I don't feel like myself.

Don't worry.

Without a doubt...you're Miko.

Thank you.

Let's go.

? Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

38, 39, 40!

- Okay! - Wow...

Next, we'll talk, so over here.

Yes~

Excuse me!

Sorry, I have a proposal.

- May I? - Huh?

What?

Rentar?.

Got a minute?

Listen...

This might sound weird...

...but do you have someone you like?

Eh?

We've been working hard in the same club all this time.

I've been watching how hard you try.

What's up, suddenly?

I...

...think I kind of...

...really like you.

Miko...

I'm sorry.

Right now...my head's full of the choir.

Mm.

For you as well,

- can we just go on... - I get it!

Miko, where have you been?

Miko, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

We've got snacks...

Rentar? rejected me.

I followed the mood.

Even though I'm an outfielder.

I thought you'd made me a bit prettier.

But an outfielder is an outfielder.

I'm pathetic.

That's true.

When you hide away in your shell

that's pathetic.

But telling someone you like

that you like them

you're not pathetic at all.

Headmistress ?sone.

Thanks to you, we've had a great training camp.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

Likewise.

We'll work hard for the contest.

I look forward to it.

To express our gratitude, we'll sing.

Alright, get ready!

Yes!

Hm?

? Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

? That's what love is to me

? I can understand everything

? No need for words, just the warmth of your chest

? However long life may go on

? Simply because you are here now

? Side by side, we will share

? All the love there is for all of time

? Even if I can see tomorrow, little by little

? I can only go on living because of your footsteps

? If I lose my youth someday, my heart alone

? And its bond with you will never change

? Ah~

? That's what love is to me

? I can understand everything

? Side by side, we will share

? All the love there is for all of time

? Gazing at you with the eyes of the heart

It was simple, after all.

If he can't sing, I should sing double for his share.

Because the song we sang hasn't changed.

I've realised that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Alright, we'll definitely win that contest!

Yes.

I got carried away.

Suddenly changing my image and attitude.

True...

Sorry.

I'll go back to normal.

Why?

You're still Miko, right?

You're fine that way.

Idiot.

Huh?

Kaito-kun, is there someone you like?

Eh?

Me?

Wow!

Oh, fireworks.

Let's go.

See you again in Tokyo.

Thank you very much.

We'll be counting on you for training camp next year.

I know.

So you won't be selling...?

- Thank you very much. - Take care.

Alright, let's go home.

- Yes~ - Take care!

Practice tomorrow is at 9.

We've got practice tomorrow?

- Of course! - Our summer is over.

Kaito?!

Kaito-kun?!

Kaito-kun?! What's wrong?

- Kaito-kun! Kaito-kun! - Kaito!

- Kaito-kun! - Kaito!

Kaito-kun!

- Kaito! - Kaito-kun!
