Boys be...

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
This universe was born approximately 15 billion years ago. In this galaxy alone, there are approximately 200 billion stars. Somewhere in space, at this very moment, an enormous battle might be taking place, one that will decide the fate of two warring planets. But, regardless of what might be happening, the seasons still change.

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
Cherry blossoms, the noble flower, witness to many an encounter over time. Cherry blossoms, the vain flower, have watched many a farewell. And again this year they bloom to watch over a lot of faint but painful feelings, in the season of beginnings called spring.

[dub]

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
Cherry blossoms, the regal flowers that has witnessed countless encounters throughout the ages. Cherry blossoms, the short-lived blooms that have seen so many goodbyes. The blossoms will watch over this year's heartfelt emotions as well, and open their buds once more... in spring.

Chiharu Nitta:
That was pathetic. You need to start working out more. Why don't you sign up for track?

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
I think joining the track team would probably kill me.

Chiharu Nitta:
You should be more of a man.

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
Well there are different kinds of men, you know?

Aki Mitsutani:
God, he was so cool, and incredibly cute too!

Yumi Kazama:
Oh yeah?

Chiharu Nitta:
Are you always on the same train?

Aki Mitsutani:
That's right. Today, we even looked at each other. Oh man, I think I might even be in love!

Yumi Kazama:
Love at first sight? I doubt it.

Aki Mitsutani:
Oh, come on, you never know. We totally made eye contact, for like... two seconds!

Yumi Kazama:
He probably was just nearsighted.

Sayaka Kanzaki:
Anyway, Chiharu...

Chiharu Nitta:
Huh?

Sayaka Kanzaki:
It's been a while since I've seen you. You're a full grown woman now.

Chiharu Nitta:
What? You think so?

Sayaka Kanzaki:
You even got the b*obs to prove it. Look at you!

Chiharu Nitta:
Come on, stop teasing, Sayaka.

Sayaka Kanzaki:
I'm serious. I'm a girl but I still think you've got a hot little body.

Yoshihiko Kenjo:
So what's up? Do you like her?

Kyoichi Kanzaki:
Do I like her? I don't know how to answer that. I've known Chiharu for so long, if I didn't like her a little, we couldn't have been friends. But it's more like, I've been thinking about her.

Makoto Kurumizura:
Got it. That's not love, you just think it is. This is a clear case of "No Woman" Syndrome. You don't have a girlfriend yet, so you're settling for that Amazonian friend of yours. You're just hitting puberty a little late, that's all.

Yoshihiko Kenjo:
Yeah? Well, Makoto's been hitting puberty for years.

Makoto Kurumizura:
Exactly.

Yoshihiko Kenjo:
With no girlfriend to show for it.

Makoto Kurumizura:
Oh, shut up.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Nice memories have their own scent. Whenever you are veiled in its scent, Your heart can always return to your unforgettable past. Together with your own scenery that will never fade.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Every special memory has associated with a scent. When you're surrounded by that smell, your heart can always return to that unforgettable moment. And you can see it clearly in your memories, where the colors are forever bright.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
What's with the sour face? How about a thank you instead? I mean seriously, I had to go all the way over to your house after school just to get it.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Yeah, thanks a million. It's not the right book, but hey...

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Wait. What do you mean, it's not? That's what you told me over the phone last night. The something something Best of Manual?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
No, what I said was Love Manual, Dr Kirara Mitsuboshi's Love Manual. I've shown it to you a thousand times at school!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Oh, so that's what you wanted! Sorry, man.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Why the hell would I want to research the tourist attractions of Sendai while I'm holed up at the hospital? I mean, come on!

Risa:
Hey Makoto, I guess you really like Mizuki a lot, don't you?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Huh? Like her? Well actually, you've got things a little mixed up. It's more like she's interested in ME, don't you think?

Risa:
[giggles] I'm not so sure about that.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
You don't pull your punches, do ya?

Risa:
Wait a sec. What sign are you?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
I'm an Aries. Why do you ask?

Risa:
An Aries. Okay, let me see here... [looks through a magazine]

Risa:
Your lucky color today is red! [later, Makoto is seen with a red flower in his pocket]

Risa:
Here, you should put this on. If you do, you may be able to patch things up with Mizuki. Then you can be friends again.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
We can be friends again, huh...

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Snow covers everything in white. It covers the sadness, softly. If there is happiness, it decorates it beautifully. The snow continues to fall...

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Snow blankets everything in white. If there's sorrow, snow will gently embrace you. If there's happiness, snow will decorate it gently. Silently, the snow keeps falling.

Jyunna Morio:
Do you even have the slightest idea who you're talking to right now?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Hmm? [stares at Jyunna]

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
One of those cheesy mall Santas?

Jyunna Morio:
No way! Come, look closer!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
What? Amazing! Don't tell me I'm staring at the real honest-to-goodness Santa Claus?

Jyunna Morio:
No, that's not it at all!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
What the heck? Is this how you always treat people who buy you your food?

Jyunna Morio:
Please. When you're famous, you don't carry cash. [writes her autograph on a napkin]

Jyunna Morio:
Here, I'll give you this as my payment. Here.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
And yet you carry a pen for autographs.

Jyunna Morio:
It's a must-have item for a superstar.

Jyunna Morio:
There's this other place that I really want to check out. Will you take me there?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Why would I take you?

Jyunna Morio:
Hmm. I offered you a date with me and you're not thrilled at the chance? Listen, I promise to take a Jyunna Morio photo sticker with you later on. What do you say?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Hmm. Sorry, lady. I'm not supposed to hang out with egotistical Santas. It was my grandfather's dying wish.

Jyunna Morio:
Oh, well that's terrific! That means you ARE allowed to hang out with a superstar!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Nope. That was my grandmother's dying wish.

Jyunna Morio:
What is that supposed to mean?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
With summer's raucous noises, a simple dream seen in spring has turned into a simple heartbreak. The melancholy autumn wind speaks quietly of its meaning... Your heart's true self...

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
A fleeting spring dream, engulfed by the hectic summer, has become a small painful scar. And now a sorrowful autumn breeze whispers of a story behind the pain... the story of who you really are.

Shoko Sayama:
I wanted to boost my confidence. I came to listen because I thought she'd suck.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Confidence? What are you talking about? Are you kidding me? You're gonna be fine.

Shoko Sayama:
I'll be fine? I'll be fine, huh? How the hell do you know I'll be fine?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Uh...

Shoko Sayama:
You don't even know the first thing about it! [walks off. Kyoichi has a flashback... ]

Nitta Chiharu:
I'll do fine? How can you stand there and tell me that?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
"You'll do fine?" Ugh.

[on Kyoichi and Shoko]

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
You don't suppose the two of them are dating now?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
From an Amazon to a demon. Man, Kyoichi really does have bad taste.

Shoko Sayama:
I'm quitting the band, and I'm not gonna sing anymore!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
But, Shoko, why now? Where's this coming from? It's not like you...

Shoko Sayama:
Not like me? What do you think? People can just up and change themselves so easily? Do you think they can change?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Not many people know when love really starts... More than a friend, but not quite lovers.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Very few can identify the beginning of love, when people become more than friends but less than lovers. Such an indefinable relationship changes slowly over time... like the changing of the seasons.

Mizutani Aki:
So, are the two of you going out then?

Natsue Horikawa, Yoshihiko Kenjou:
HUH?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
No, no. It's not like that at all.

Mizutani Aki, Kazama Yumi:
[seeing Yoshihiko with a whip and candle] Hmmm?

Mizutani Aki:
Hey, he's holding a whip and a candle. Is he planning to...?

Mizutani Aki, Kazama Yumi:
PERVERT!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
ME?

Natsue Horikawa:
You don't have to have a reason to like something. You like what you like. That's all.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
All sound has died out, and the cold, dark night fills the room. Unable to go to sleep, holding on to the covers. Suddenly, that's when it strikes, as if my chest was being crushed in pain and wanted to cry. A painful and uneasy feeling. Yes, from the depths of my heart, a thing called loneliness will come...

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
All sound ceases. When the ice cold night air fills the room, I lie awake, holding my blanket. And that's when it happens. I feel like crying, like my heart is slowly breaking. A sorrowful, an unshakeable loneliness. That sense of loneliness rises from the shadows in my heart.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Who knows? Maybe I am just lonely.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Come on, will you knock it off already? Only people with an IQ of 200 or higher are allowed to think about that kind of stuff.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Yeah? Well, sorry, mine is only 100.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
You just have "I Want a Girl" Syndrome.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
"I Want a Girl" Syndrome?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
You just want to hold somebody close all night long, right? Who else would it be but a girl? I think about it every night! Like if I do this, it'll lead to that; if I tease her here, she'll do you know what - that kind of stuff!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
You really think so?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
What, do you think that's it?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Well, I doubt your IQ is anywhere near 200.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
You got that right, mine stops at 30!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Sorry, you can't rent these.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Come on, help me out here. We're friends, aren't we?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Just forget it! You've got to be 18 to rent stuff like this!

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Hey, watch it, smartass! I mean, who do you think it was got you through puberty? I'd say ya owe me!

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
I don't recall you getting me through much of anything.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
[faking cramps] Oh, my stomach hurts. Maybe watching through these videos will ease my suffering?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Just leave, I'm begging you.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
They say that love, even when it's requited, is still love. But I don't think it is. It's not really fair to the other person, and if you aren't careful, you might seem like a stalker. Nothing good will come until you go ahead and talk to her. And even if she does turn you down, there are other girls out there. At some point, you're just gonna have to go ahead and do it.

Takuya:
Wow. So I guess that's how you've been doing it.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Huh?

Takuya:
You know, you really are amazing, Kyoichi. You're just so mature. Any girl who would let you go must be out of her mind.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
[remembering his time with Chiharu] I, uh, don't know about that...

[as Kyoichi and Takura talk, Makoto tries to listen in]

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Dammit, I can barely hear them. What are they talking about?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Don't worry. Go with the flow and do what you can.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Do what you can?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
If you do it, you might see things from a whole new perspective.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
See WHAT from a whole new WHAT?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Come on, what's the matter with you? I thought you're back to normal, and now you're not making any sense. Let's go watch some dirty videos. What do you say?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
You know, I've been thinking about your problem a lot lately, Kyoichi.

Makoto Kurumizawa, Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Huh?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Your loneliness, I mean. I know what you're going through. It's almost like, that feeling you get when you look at the sunset, right? It's got nothing to do with girls.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
You think so?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
With or without a girl, you're still gonna feel lonely sometimes. And anyway, loneliness suits a man. Oh, what do I mean? A girl just wouldn't understand. It's a guy thing.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Ah, this is bad. You too, Yoshihiko? Come on, guys, what do you say? Dirty movies?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
So you're saying that men can get lonely for no reason at all?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
It happens a lot at our age. It's just a part of growing up.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Come on! Dirty movies!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
I guess some sadness is inevitable, life being the way it is.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Who's with me? Dirty movies, okay?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Well, we're all born alone and we die alone. It's all part of being human, right?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
[whining] Dirty movies!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
From that day on, I never had that dream again, and I stopped feeling lonely too. But I still wonder why. Why do men desire women? And why do women desire men?

Chiharu R:
There is nothing that really changes, there is nothing that really ends. It's hard to admit, but that is reality. One season ends, and another season begins.

[dub]

Chiharu R:
Nothing stays the same. Every story has its ending. It's hard to accept sometimes, but that's the reality. One season ends and another begins.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
That was a really cute wood carving. You made it?

Chiharu R:
[laughs] It's strange, right? A biker chick like me carving all these cute little wooden animals and stuff?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
No, I don't think it's strange at all.

Chiharu R:
Oh, wow, you're one of those nice guys, aren't ya?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Huh?

Chiharu R:
So, how do you like it?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Man, the air's so different. It's not as thick as it is back in Tokyo. Even the colors here are different.

Chiharu R:
Boy, that's a nice calm assessment. Could your description be a little more bland?

Chiharu R:
Man, I feel good today. [starts taking off her clothes]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Uhh... [soon, all she has on is her bra and panties]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
[blushes] Uh, I don't know. I didn't bring my swimsuit with me, and it's kind of cold out here.

Chiharu R:
[crosses her arms] If you're not swimming, then give me a little space.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Oh, right. I'm sorry.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
I get it now.

Chiharu R:
Huh?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
He was hiding away in his own little world.

Chiharu R:
What?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
He just didn't want to get hurt. I think he was scared of losing his sense of self. I'm glad that I came here.

Chiharu R:
I'm sure your next sketch will be amazing.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Because I'll draw whatever I feel. Although it just might end up being a big mess.

Chiharu R:
Oh, I don't think that's such a bad thing. I mean, that's just who you are right now.

Chiharu R:
Would you like a kiss?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Sorry, I'm not falling for that a second time.

Chiharu R:
[laughs] Such a nice guy. There's no question. You're definitely one of the good ones.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Hey, I'm home.

Nitta Chiharu:
Hey, welcome back.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
It must only be a matter of a moment once it's gone...

Kazama Yumi:
We should probably be able to laugh at it someday.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
But the feeling will stay forever in the depths of the heart.

Mizutani Aki:
It's precious, only here for now. It's our season.

Nitta Chiharu:
So, one season ends, and a new one begins...

[dub]

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Once it passes, it will feel like it went by in a flash.

Kazama Yumi:
Someday, you look back at it and laugh.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
But that feeling, that feeling will never disappear. You'll always carry it deep in your heart.

Mizutani Aki:
The most important season is the one we're in now. It's our season.

Nitta Chiharu:
And with the ending of one season, another new one begins.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
An ending will come to everything in this world. It may be a fate that one could never avoid.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
All things must come to an end in this world. Everything reaches its natural conclusion. It's inevitable. It's fate.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
[heard at the end of the episode] But as long as there is night, morning will always come.

Natsue Horikawa:
I was just reading about it in a magazine. A millennium change only happens once every thousand years, right?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Yup, that's pretty much how it works.

Natsue Horikawa:
So I read that if you're with the one that you love when the millennium changes, from that moment 'til the end of time, the two of you will live happily ever after. Don't you think that's beautiful?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Mm-hmm.

Natsue Horikawa:
Are you not interested in this type of stuff?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
It's not that I'm not interested. It's just that rumors like that are kinda d... [sees Natsue is worried]

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
[clenches fist] Yeah! I totally believe in all of that crap!

Natsue Horikawa:
[smiles] I'm so happy.

Nitta Chiharu:
Hey, Kyoichi, have you heard the rumor going around? Once every thousand years, two people...

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
To hell with rumors. [Chiharu is surprised at Kyoichi]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
It's just, I don't believe in all those superstitions.

Nitta Chiharu:
Kyoichi?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
[runs off] Sorry!

Nitta Chiharu:
Kyoichi!... I'll be waiting for you...

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
There are many books in the library. Each book has a wonderful story that will never happen in reality. But when you fall in love, reality becomes a story far more beautiful than any book can tell.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
There are many books at the library. Each and every one contains a fantastic tale, stories that could never exist in reality... But when you fall in love, reality changes and becomes far more amazing than any story.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
So, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you dating that Amazon woman, Chiharu? Don't you think it's kind of a problem that you haven't kissed her yet?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Well, that's, uh...

Chiharu:
Hey you guys!... Uh, were the two of you talking about me just now?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Uh, uh, no, we were...

Makoto Kurumizawa:
It was about kissing!

Chiharu:
Huh?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Uh, a "musician." Yeah! You know, there are some good ones! There were some on the radio last night!

Chiharu:
Huh?

Chiharu:
Hey, um, you're not eating. Is anything the matter? You look kind of spaced out.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
It's great, isn't it? Being in love...

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
And now I realize, what a gift love can really be.

Chiharu:
Wow.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
I feel so happy right now.

Chiharu:
That sounds beautiful. It really does.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Alright, I trust you with this. On your honor as an Amazon, I need you to keep it a secret.

Chiharu:
Mm-hmm, you have my word.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Great. See ya!

Chiharu:
...wait, what did he mean by Amazon?

Chiharu:
[about Yoshihiko's kiss] I'm a little bit jealous of him. And that's what I was thinking about.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Huh?

Chiharu:
I wish I was in her shoes. It sounds so romantic. What girl wouldn't want to end up in a situation like that?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Chi-Chiharu... are-are you saying that-that you would want that too?

Chiharu:
[blushes] Huh?... Well, yeah, you know, a little bit, sure.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
HUH? [falls backwards]

Makoto Kurumizawa:
So that's how it happened, huh?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Yeah. Our souls were linked. She and I were together in a past life, and now we are destined to repeat it.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Okay, then let me guess. The two of you defeated the Prince of Darkness and lived happily ever after, right?

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Hey, you're right! How did you know that? It's like you read my mind!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
In the autumn it is said that the reason why leaves fall down from the branch is to make way for new leaves to grow. No matter how sad the fallen leaves look, there will always be new sprouts in the spring. Perhaps, emptiness in the heart is something similar to that.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Autumn. They say the old leaves fall away from the branches to make way for the new leaves to arrive. No matter how lonesome you might feel watching the leaves fall, remember, new leaves will always return in the spring. Perhaps the emptiness you feel in your heart is just like those falling leaves?

Nitta Chiharu:
So you're gonna have a long-distance relationship? How lonely.

Mizutani Aki:
But you know, the more obstacles there are between two lovers, the more passionate their love can be.

Nitta Chiharu:
Do you really think so? That's so optimistic. Wow, Aki.

Mizutani Aki:
Haven't you ever heard the proverb: "Life is short, so girls should love."

Kazama Yumi:
Uh, that's not a proverb...

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Come on! Love is supposed to be like, you suddenly make eye contact with someone and Direct Hit, you're into her! That's how it's supposed to happen!

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Youth is short. Rather than wasting bullets firing at random, it's much better to concentrate on the ideal girl.

Yoshihiko Kenjou:
Makoto, you're the one who's wasting the most bullets here!

[Yumi accidentally throws Makoto's laptop out of the window]

Kazama Yumi:
You don't think it's broken, do you?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Grrr... great, thanks a lot, Yumi.

Kazama Yumi:
Sorry.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Sorry isn't gonna cut it!

Kazama Yumi:
I'm sorry! Forgive me, Kurumizawa!

Makoto Kurumizawa:
You think acting all polite is gonna help? Don't call me by my last name!

Mizutani Aki:
[about Erika] Come on now, you have to admit she's pretty much out of your league. Can't you tell where you stand as a man?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
I can overcome any obstacle as long as I have love!

Mizutani Aki:
Yeah, but you're the obstacle here, Makoto!

Kazama Yumi:
You have to treat me exactly like you would if you were on a date with Erika. I'll grade your performance as if I were Erika, and if you do well enough, then I promise I'll set you guys up again. Sound fair?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
This doesn't sound any fun at all. First of all, Erika isn't a little runt like you are.

Kazama Yumi:
[holds up an X sign] Boo. Mistake one. A guy who disrespects a woman is always bad news.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Uh, Erika, your bitchy little personality and nice outfit don't match at all! I think that's so cute.

Kazama Yumi:
[holds up an X sign] Mistake two! Are you trying to start with me?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Huh? But wait... [takes out a book]

Makoto Kurumizawa:
My love manual says that complimenting a girl's faults will leave her with a good impression of you, right? [Yumi grabs the book and throws it into the fountain]

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Aaaah! What was that for, Yumi?

Kazama Yumi:
Are you hungry?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Not really.

Kazama Yumi:
That was Erika asking you.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Uh, you want to get some food? Well, Erika, what would you like?

Kazama Yumi:
[holds up an X sign] Boo. Mistake four.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Why'd you boo?

Kazama Yumi:
Erika is very indecisive so you need to be a man and decide where to go for her.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Oh, really? Then why don't we go out to a donut shop?

Kazama Yumi:
[holds up an X sign] Boo.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
What the...?

Kazama Yumi:
[Erika voice] I'm on a diet right now, so I'd rather go somewhere else.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
[looks in a magazine] Well, in that situation I should, uh...

Kazama Yumi:
[holds up an X sign] Boo.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
What'd I do now?

Kazama Yumi:
Keep the conversation going.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Well I, uh... Do you want to go hang out somewhere? Let's go to the arcade.

Kazama Yumi:
Boo.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Karaoke?

Kazama Yumi:
Boo.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
A club?

Kazama Yumi:
Boo. Boo. Boo.

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Then where the heck am I supposed to take her?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
The summer days blow through fiercely, with the buried feeling that something is going to happen... over a summer storm. Soon, the season will change...

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
A summer day goes by like a strong gust of wind, leaving you with the feeling that something is going to happen. As the summer storms come to an end, gradually, the seasons change.

Chiharu:
Why did you ask me out on this date, Yuki?

Yuki:
Why? Would your boyfriend get mad at me?

Chiharu:
Huh? Uh, well no, I don't have a boyfriend.

Yuki:
Really?

Chiharu:
Of course I don't. I mean, come on, Yuki, you just assumed I did?

Yuki:
I see.

Chiharu:
But if I did have one, he wouldn't be mad, I think.

Yuki:
Wow, sounds like a great boyfriend.

Chiharu:
You really think so?

Yuki:
Sure, if he existed.

Chiharu:
Oh. Yeah.

Chiharu:
And do you mind if I ask you something? Did you ever bring your girlfriend here before?

Yuki:
No, you're the first girl I've ever brought up here with me.

Chiharu:
That'd make me happy if it were true.

Yuki:
[looks out the window] That's it. Summer's almost over.

[Chiharu makes a phone call]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Hey, if this is some kind of prank call, you're out of luck! It's just a bunch of sweaty guys here!

Chiharu:
Kyoichi?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
Chiharu?... I'm sorry. I didn't even realize it was you. What's up? Do you need something?

Chiharu:
Kyoichi, I uh... Kyoichi, you're not angry with me, are you?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
What? I can't hear you too well... Hey Makoto, shut up, okay?

Makoto Kurumizawa:
Sorry, but we're not finished yet! Don't forget, we're a couple of sweaty guys with work to do here!

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Chiharu:
Well... I uh... I... I might be falling in love.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
What?... I can't hear you. Look, I'm sorry, but I'm still on the clock. Can we talk later? It doesn't matter what time. Bye! [quickly hangs up]

Chiharu:
I had a lot of fun.

Yuki:
Me too. I'm glad I met you.

Chiharu:
You're such an adult.

Yuki:
Not really.

Chiharu:
I don't know. Adults are so unfair.

Yuki:
Yeah.

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
The color blue has a soothing effect on people. All their stresses and troubles are absorbed by the blue. Awakening honest souls which have no lies. Summer is the season... that is colored in blue.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
The color blue has the power to sooth the soul. It washes away all our worries and stress. Blue awakens the honest and innocent hearts. Summer... the season when the color blue thrives.

[Kyoichi and Matoko goof off and get chased]

Mizutani Aki:
Man, watching these guys during the summertime totally makes me hate men, you know? [a tanned muscular man passes by]

Mizutani Aki:
Wow, what a hottie!

Kazama Yumi:
Can you even hear yourself? You're not really practicing what you preach, are you?

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
No one can stop the flow of time. But a moment captured in the frame of the heart will never disappear. That will be shown at the bottom of their hearts, and will always give off a great feeling. Sweet... and bitter.

[dub]

Kyouichi Kanzaki:
No one in this world can stop the flow of time. However, a single moment captured in a photograph will never disappear. It will always decorate your heart and it will always stir your soul. Sweetly, and warmly.

Chiharu:
Wow, your friend is really hot.

Kazama Yumi:
Yeah, introduce me to him next time. Who is he?

Mizutani Aki:
He's my... my ex.

Chiharu, Kazama Yumi:
Ohhh. [pause]

Chiharu, Kazama Yumi:
WHAAAT?

Tsuyoshi:
[as it rains] I don't mind it at all.

Mizutani Aki:
Huh?

Tsuyoshi:
It feels so nice to me, like it's cleansing the world.

Mizutani Aki:
I think I'm falling in love too.

Tsuyoshi:
Right, with the rain!

Mizutani Aki:
[sighs] Oh, whatever...

[Tsuyoshi takes a snapshot of Aki]

Mizutani Aki:
Was that the last shot again?

Tsuyoshi:
No. That one was the first.
