You need this before noon, right?
Let's see...
You don't want anything perishable, right?
Just oranges.
Then, please write your name and address here.
It will be ready the day after tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Welcome.
Excuse me...
Are you Kamikura Kyota's father?
Yes.

Tainted Crimson Melancholy
I'm home!
Welcome back.
That's right, Ms Yukimura was here looking for you earlier.
Misato was here?
She wanted me to sign a contract. She said it had something to do with you.
Suddenly, someone comes asking for an exclusive contract... It's almost as if they're trying to steal you.
Your father's worried...
Then, did you sign it?
Go play with the band.
Is that ok?
May I really become a pro?
Your father really doesn't know anything about these things...
..and your mother is fine with you getting a part-time job.
What's that supposed to mean?
It's fine to be working, but be sure to study hard.
Jeez...
Yori...
You must quickly stop the seeds of disaster from turning crimson.
Even so... I can't just suddenly drop out of college.
We have always lived in the shadows after all.
Are you going to let them do what they want?
I'm aware of that.
But... it seems that I still want to be an ordinary woman.
You're still saying that?
Yori, the spreading seeds of disaster are about to awaken...
I'm sorry
Can you let me think about it for a while?
Time... is something we don't have much left of...
That was a beautiful song, right?
Your voice was much louder however...
It really is great, isn't it... Kyota's song?
Well... I suppose you could say that.
It's soo cool.
Talk about enthusiasm...
Um... Asumi, you're in the same class as Kyota, right?
Well, yes.
That's so great... I'm so envious.
It's nothing really.
It's not like I've ever talked to him.
Whaaat?
That's such a waste!
I would die for such a chance!
Does Kyota have a lot of friends in class?
The number of people around him has skyrocketed, I suppose...
Then, how popular is he with the girls?
Who knows?
So there is one after all?
Well, there is a rumor about a girl...
Really?
Yeah.
Wahhh, who is it? You wouldn't know, Asumi?
Who knows?
She has to be cute, right?
She's pretty, right?
Have you ever seen her before?
Ahhh, I wonder what kind of girl she is?
This is such a huge Shock!
I'm so worried!
Um...
Ah, today we're going to discuss a job.
Ohhh! It's finally moving!
Tomorrow, you'll play on a radio broadcast.
What, we don't get to be on television, huh?
We've only started.
You have no name yet.
This is your first challenge.
Think of me as being generous.
Harsh...
Where's the gig at?
FM Playstage.
It's Music Scene in the afternoon at 3 o'clock.
You're on Guest Corner.
Ohhh... that means we're guests then.
If that's how it is, let's take it to the Extreme!
It's fine if you just play well.
My song... will flow.
Eh, could it be that you're nervous?
I'm not!
You're saying that you aren't nervous?
Not at all!
You're the one who's leg is always twitching from nervousness.
Yep, Yep. Burururu...it's shaking.
Idiot!
We'll meet at the studio tomorrow.
Be sure to rehearse before tomorrow.
Yes Sir!
Let's do it now!
Don't leave yourself unable to play tomorrow.
Okay, okay.
Let's go, Kyota.
Do we walk or do we ride?
That's just what I expected...
There are people who like riding the train, you know.
So then, come on, come on.
Come on, come on...
Ms. Yukimura...
I... will do my best.
Kyota!
The first round ... has begun.
It's for real!
I was so surprised.
Tomorrow at 3 o'clock...
..in the afternoon. PM that is.
That's great!
Suddenly getting to be on radio and all.
Shingo was like "This is great!".
Well, I guess I was too.
Yeah, I'll be cheering for you
I'll be listening to the radio for sure.
That's great, but...
W-what?
Yoko... why don't you come watch us?
What?
Ms. Yukimura already talked to the station's manager, so...
Is it okay?
Of course!
Ah, we can't go there together though...
It's the Playstage, right?
Do you want me to fax you the map?
It's okay, I know where it is.
I see. I'll have everything explained to you.
Thanks, please do.
Then, I'll see you tomorrow.
Wait, Kyota...
Yes?
Mmm... sorry, it's nothing.
Good night!
Ah... Good night.
That's a little strange.
Is the next group ready yet?
Are they going to be ready?
Yes, it's fine.
You must be Ms. Yoriko?
Yes.
Mr. Kamikurata told me you'd come here.
Oh. Then, excuse me for intruding.
I'm afraid you will not be able to talk to them.
I hope you don't mind just watching from here.
Not at all, this is more than enough...
..Yes.
Really?
Then, why don't you warm up a little?
Okay!
Ms. Yoriko.
Yes?
Do you know why I allowed you here to see them today?
No...
It's because I need to talk to you.
You... really are a close friend of his after all.
Yoko!
Concentrate on your work.
Okay!
His future holds great potential...
..but he only thinks about the present.
In his situation, there are not plenty of opportunities for practice jobs like these.
I understand.
Disentangling him from trivial relationships and scandals...
That is my duty.
Why don't you try and think about it?
It's about time!
Well, today's just another ordinary day.
Here's a message for all of you out there!
The day is not over yet!
Please stay with us!
Then, today's special guest is...
..making their debut...
T.L Signal
T.L stands for traffic light
Then, here's Kyota.
So, are you nervous?
Not at all!
Ready when you are.
Oh, looking forward to this, are you?
Then, shall we begin?
Performed by T.L Signal...
Prism!

Light that simply reflects one's heart.
Ah, do you hear that!?
konnani taiyori nai nante
that it would be this unreliable

I want to believe it doesn't end
Hey, easy!
What is it?
This is Kyota's song!
That's so great!
honto no jibun
my true self
Is this his debut?
Eh? I thought that was earlier.
tsunagetai ashita no sora
I want to reach for tomorrow's skies
When was that?
I'm still not sure...
Hey, I can't hear it.
Quiet!
Hold on!
hirogeta yume no iro sagasanai
I can't find the color of the expanded dream
It's so great!
It's so cool!
sore sore ni utsushidasu mirai wa
each and every future it reflects
kiskeki wo inotte
I pray for a miracle to happen
Happy New Year!
yakusoku no sono toki wo tenisurumade
until I grasp the promised moment
kono omoi fukaku mitsumetai
I would like to look deep upon this feeling
Is... something special supposed to happen here?
I'm not exactly sure about that...
..just that I am feeling really anxious.
I see.
My guitar playing was okay, right?
It was fine.
Are you done?
Yep.
You may go home then.
Okay
Great work today!
I'll call you later.
Oooookay!
Call us anytime!
Thanks for your hard work today!
The same to you.
We're done!!
Do you need me to grab anything?
Hmm... how about everything?
Then I'll just make the pick.
You know, I'm weaker than you are so why don't you take something heavier?
Look below you.
I see.
Umm.. Thanks for letting me listen today.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to talk to you.
Then, please excuse me.
Mmm... Farewell.
Since the situation is like this...
..leave through the back, please.
Right...
My fans are calling for me.
Sorry, everyone.
Eh, where's the car?
There're too many stop signs
We'll have to demean ourselves and take the daily express.
They're here! They're here!
I see them! Over here!
Hurry, hurry!
Isn't this dangerous?
Let's go!
Wait up!
Hey! They're running!
There's a woman with them!
How cruel!
Hey! Wait!
Hey! Slow down!
Stop it!
Kyota!
Get in!
Ah.. Kanae!?
Hurry up, get in!
You sit in the front.
Ahh!? Kyota?
Whose car was that?
They're catching up on us.
Damn ... Ahhh!
Kyota!!!
That's too bad, huh?
Aren't you... Morino Kanae?
You wouldn't happen to be one of my fans?
I'm so happy!
U-um.. who's that over there?
Her manager. Abuto's my name.
Pleased to mee...
Oh, shut that cute face of yours!
You fit my type.
W-wait.
I have some business to take care of, so I'll be getting off.
This is the company's car, so don't worry about anything.
Sorry for intruding then.
You really saved us back there.
Move on.
Ah... that's right...
My house is at...
I know, I know.
We're already heading there.
How do you know that?
I know everything about you...
Mr. Kamikurata Kyota.
Ah.. even my name...
Really, I know everything!
..if it has to do with you.
What a funny face.
Come on, smile,smile!
And to think I used to sit at home and watch television.
What's your name?
Where'd Kyota go?
Kyota?
That's right, he went off in a car.
It looked as if someone picked him up.
Really?
He couldn't have driven it himself.
Someone he knows?
Excuse me!
May I take a picture?
Heh, oh well...
It's all good
Can you sign this please?
Your name is..?
It's Yuriko.
Ah, Yuri...
Okay, okay! You'll all get your chance!
The two of us aren't going anywhere after all!
Thanks a lot for the ride.
You were a big help.
We have to separate already, that's too bad.
You really are cute.
Kyota, you've caught my fancy.
Is it okay if I drop you off here?
Yes. Please don't worry about it.
U-umm...
It looks like you're going to be busy from now on, Kyota.
When we get a chance to work together, we should really get to know each other.
We are... well suited for each other, I think.
What are you doing?
You're right. There is someone watching after all.
T-that's not what I meant.
Bye bye!
We'll meet again.
We'll be much more intimate next time.
Kyota... doesn't only belong to you, you know.
I don't really...
That was ... rather troublesome.
Really?
Huh? Were you bothered by that?
I was just confused.
Hmm... You weren't just a little bit happy about it?
Nothing like that at all.
You still have a mark on your neck.
You're blushing!
What are you talking about?
Thanks for coming to see us today.
Mmm.. I got to hear a wonderful song after all.
R-really?
That's great then.
I won't forget it.
What do you mean by that?
It's not like that was the last time you'll here it.
You'll hear that one again.
Mmm... that's right.
I'm going home now.
I'll walk you there.
No... I'll go home alone.
Ok.
Good night.
I'll call you.
We are approaching an uncertain future...
Everyone, the awakening of the Benzaiten is close at hand...
Benzaiten: Japanese Goddess of wealth, music, eloquence and water
We have crossed into this period, and we must win this battle.
We of Arayashiki...
This is the meeting of our brethren.
Awaken, chosen ones!
Heaven, the condemning blade.
We are the maiden disciples of Arayashiki.
Here, in front of the flames of triumph, we pray.
