I hope the horse will like her.
That won't be a problem.
She's a good-natured horse.
Glad to hear it.
One tomboy in the family is quite enough.
Sawa!
Are you okay?!
mune no oku ga takanaru atsui koe ni kizuitara
胸の奥が高鳴る 熱い声に気付いたら
My heart races whenever it notices your warm voice
sutaatorain wa kimi no me no mae ni aru
スタートラインは君の目の前にある
The starting line is right in front of your eyes
mada mienai michi de mo hashirihajimereba ii sa
まだ見えない道でも走りはじめればいいさ
Just start running, even if it leads down a path you can't see yet
akirameru yori mo suteki da to omowanai?
あきらめるよりも素敵だと思わない？
Don't you think that's better than just giving up?
itsumo fuan wa sugu soba de
いつも不安はすぐそばで
My anxieties are always right here by my side
kakedasu omoi wo shimetsukeru keredo
駆け出す思いを締め付けるけれど
Even if I can quiet the feelings that race through me
ima wo koete arukidasu
今を超えて歩き出す
We'll start walking, passing by today
michi naru michi ni hikari wo
未知なる未来に光を
and cast light down the unknown path ahead
hajimete wo kurikaeshi
初めてを繰り返し
Let's go all the way back to the start
tsukamitore ashita wo
掴み取れ明日を
and seized everything we ever wanted!
sou sa bokutachi wa mugen no
そうさ僕達は無限の
Come on! We'll head onwards
yume dakishime susumu no sa
夢抱きしめ進むのさ
embracing our infinite dreams
kagayaiteru jibun wo shinjitai
輝いてる自分を信じたい
I want to believe in myself as I shine like this
tachiagaru chikara ni
立ち上がる力に
Filling ourselves with endless love...
saidai na ai wo komete
最大な愛をこめて
...and the strength to stand up...
omou mama tabidatou!
思うまま旅立とう！
Let's feel! And set off right away!
atarashii sekai no naka he
新しい世界の中へ
Toward a new world
I'll walk there...
Hey, cut that out!
And after you cut in on our audition before, too...
But it was pretty fun, right?
We're professionals.
You really ought to be thanking us.
Professionals?
We're a band.
We actually have another member, but...
My lady!
We had a couple of hits, but I guess you're too young to remember.
The Condor Queen's.
We had a song in a TV commercial, too.
The Condor Queen's?
"One way to brighten up a man's day! Co-Co-Condor! Co-Co-Condor!"
Stop that. It's embarrassing...
Right now we're travelling around Japan doing small gigs.
I guess you could say that music is less a job for us now and more just a part of our lives.
I saw, it'll come, the best part of the morning.
And I'll walk there...
Even if it's a difficult task.
The Condor Queen's?
This is your granddad's theme song!
Get up ladies.
If you get a kiss or everything from me.
You'll have the story.
Unbelievable!
Episode 4
Getting Angry, Dancing, and...
Wakana?
Taxi!
Follow that bike!
Wakana!
What's going on?
Stalker!
Just like that! I've been a fan of yours since I was a kid!
Hey!
How about you participate in our world music festival?
They'd be perfect, right?
They sure would!
But does that mean that I should forget about your audition?
You're okay with that, Konatsu?!
Yeah!
There's no way we'd beat them anyway.
If that's what you want, we'll be happy to!
We never turn down a gig.
We did it!
We didn't do anything...
How about you stay with Sawa until the day of the event?
Hey, hang on Konatsu!
You have free rooms, right?
Sawa lives at a shrine.
Stop it!
We're not staying at a shrine.
We're not Buddhas, and we're not short on money.
Besides, we have a nice, comfortable home already.
Your shrine wouldn't happen to have lots of parking space, would it?
Parking space?
If you knew my mother, you should have said that to begin with.
I'm sorry I got so worked up...
But I was so happy to see you!
This is a great day!
Hey!
What're you doing?
Huh?
What happened to choir practice?
It was cancelled today.
Really?
They went to Okita's, with some band I forgot the name of.
What a lovely place.
This is the first chance we've had to really stretch our legs.
Japan is so cramped.
If I can help you with anything, please ask.
Thank you for your kindness.
You help yourselves as well.
Yes!
Thank you!
I'm fine.
Please enjoy yourselves.
Hey, Sawa!
Let me stay today!
I have so much I want to say to them.
Then how about you stay in the camper van with them?
Huh?
Geez, I'm joking!
Joking?
Amigos!
I found her!
Mahiru's daughter!
Oh!
You really found her!
Come! Sit, sit!
N-No, I'm just heading home.
We met Mahiru when we were still touring.
She wrote a song with us.
"Amigo! Amigo!"
That's right. And it went on to be our biggest hit.
It would be more accurate to say that the song was born,
rather than written.
Did she ever mention it?
No, my mum didn't really...
I see.
She was a very special friend to us.
Someone who helped us a great deal...
...and perhaps even someone who we loved.
Perhaps.
We're not your papas, though!
Hey, don't make such bad jokes with her daughter!
You look so much like Mahiru did back then.
Though Mahiru was a lot more cheerful.
And her hair was a little longer.
It feels like it was just yesterday.
I still can't believe...
...that she's really gone.
Geez...
Sabure, let's pick up the pace for a bit.
Hey, be careful.
You'll startle little Poem.
Poem?
Hey Poem, she's going to eat you!
She will not!
We'll be off, then.
Sawa!
Hey, about today's practice...
I don't have work today,
so weren't we just going to have it at school?
Yeah, that's right, but... is it okay if I give it a miss?
Why?
They said they're going to rehearse on the beach front stage in the afternoon.
I thought maybe it'd be a good learning experience.
Hey!
How about we cancel practice and all go together?
Go by yourself.
We haven't even done anything yet!
Was this whole thing a joke?!
Even if I met a rider I really respected,
if I ran with them I'd do my best not to lose.
You need to sing yourself!
If you're happy just running a fan club, then I'm done with choir!
Idiot!
Moron!
Wakana.
Yes?
Was that in falsetto?
I don't think so.
Really?
Okay! Time to start class.
We'd better get moving, then.
Professionals don't turn up late.
Um... I...
Do you want us to give up the beach front stage?
You're a senior, right?
You'll be able to keep singing once you graduate,
but it won't be the same.
The members you have right now.
The feelings you have...
The songs you sing now can only be sung now.
Do you want us to back down?
Yes.
We refuse.
Huh?
You think we care about your graduation ceremony?
We're on the verge of graduating from life itself.
You can't give up the things you love just because you're getting old.
Go home, amigo,
to the stage that waits for you.
Shiho-san!
Perfect timing!
Here are your clothes.
Sawa's out, if you're looking for her.
It's not that.
I wanted to ask you something.
What?
Is there a stage left for us to perform on?
Was that in falsetto?
Falsetto?
This.
Why isn't Miyamoto here?
Without her, we're basically limited to doing sit-ups.
I'm sure she'll come.
Oh yeah, what about Sakai?
She's technically part of the choir too, right?
And she used to be a music major.
Now that you mention it, I've never heard her sing...
She was at supplementary class.
Maybe I'll invite her next time?
Yeah.
Hey, that was great!
Show me that!
Me too!
Leaving it this late...
No good, huh?
You might be right.
Wait, there's one shop that hasn't confirmed a singer yet!
Where?
Here.
I don't know if they'll take you, but...
I'll go and ask!
Good luck!
Geez, you're not my mum.
Excuse me!
Have you already decided who'll be singing on your stage for the World Music Festival?
Yes, I just did.
Someone said she had a friend who was interested,
and she'd introduce her.
She should still be around...

Look, there.
Sakai-san!
Thank you.
Not at all.
I'm glad you found a stage.
Yeah.
I haven't run like that in a long time.
Miyamoto-san, have you found your answer yet?
If I had natural talent...
...then right now I'd just...
What?
Nope. I really can't sing on my own.
What's with you?
How about you?
Why did you stop singing?
Because I wasn't talented either.
Oh, that's right.
Do you know this tune, Miyamoto-san?
Call me Konatsu.
No, I don't really know this one.
I see.
It's nice, isn't it?
See you later, then.
Yeah.
Thanks, Sakai-san!
Call me Wakana.
Miyamoto never showed up after all.
Listen to your CDs, and rehearse your individual parts.
Remember that we only have a limited amount of time to practise together.
Especially you, Tanaka!
I get it already!
Nobody wants a consolation prize!
Let's earn the public's love and sing on that big stage!
Let's go!
Let's do our best!
That was all over the place.
What?
Let's do our best!
We're supposed to all yell the same thing...
My feelings come and go...
...riding the waves.
I can see it.
That sandy white beach.
Beneath the scorching sun.
Aloha-
I saw, it'll come, the best part of the morning.
Yeah!
Where is the life that I gave you? Hey! I saw you!
Wakana.
So you came after all.
Konatsu.
Is it okay to leave the store?
It's far from the ocean, so nobody's there.
Where will I cross my path?
We get a consolation prize, right?
There's a huge crowd here, huh?
I'll be ready to celebrate.
No surprise there.
This is the song that your mum co-wrote, right Wakana?
Yes I love you, oh my love!
Walking we'll arrive...
Yeah.
Come in.
Is it okay to leave your stage?
Nobody came.
You don't start singing because people came.
You start singing and make them come.
We get that.
Do you want to take the stage with us for an encore?
We're fine.
We have our own stage.
Even though it's small...
Are you sure?
We'll do it on our own.
Let's go back to our stage!
Yeah.
See you later.
Thank you.
Wakana...
I heard you gave up music.
Yes.
I want to write songs...
...for times of health and times of illness.
For times of happiness and times of sadness.
I didn't understand what she meant then,
and laughed it off as the words of a dreamer.
But perhaps she was writing those songs for you.
You can't give up music.
It's not something you choose.
Music is always with you.
The sound of the heart is also music.
Mahiru told us that long ago.
That you can't give up music.
Give us an encore!
That's a letter Mahiru sent to us, when you were born.
I think you ought to have it.
I'd like to have a long chat with you someday.
There really is nobody here.
Yes there is.
We have three people.
You'd better give it your all.
One of them is a brat.
He's just like you.
My feelings come and go...
...riding the waves.
I can see it.
That sandy white beach.
Beneath the scorching sun.
Aloha-
Thank you!
Can I take a photo as well?
I don't take photos.
They steal your soul.
Hey!
Hey, where's Wakana?
hareta hi ame no hi de mo
晴れた日雨の日でも
Come rain or shine
minna ga ireba itsumo egao ni nareta
みんながいればいつも笑顔になれた
I was always able to smile when everyone was around
kioku no kanata made omoidashitari
記憶の彼方まで思い出したり
Let's think back to the farthest reaches of our memories
tayutau koe mimi sumasou
たゆたう声耳すまそう
and listen to the voices that murmur there
saa, te wo sashinoberarete wa no naka he
さぁ、 手を差し伸べられて輪の中へ
Oh, to a time where you reached your hands out to me and welcomed me into your circle
hitori ja nai kuukan de muchuu ni natteru jikan
一人じゃない空間で夢中になってる時間
And being in a place where I wasn't alone put me in a daze
kokochiyoi kaze ga fuite
心地好い風が吹いて
As the gentle breeze blows
warattari naitari utatte mitari
笑ったり泣いたり歌ってみたり
Let's smile, and cry, and try to sing, and...
tojiteita kokoro wo hiraite
閉じていた心を開いて
As even my once closed heart begins to open
omoide no fureezu kuchizusamu
思い出のフレーズ口ずさむ
I find myself humming the phrases of my feelings
kanadeyou
奏でよう
Let's play them together

Episode 5
Removing, Irremovable, and...
I'm thinking about throwing out the piano in my room.
