We have a series of new releases this week. Which song will take the number one spot?
We'll start with number 3...
The summer of '93 will be hot.
The time is now 3AM.
What's up?
Working hard? Well, you wouldn't be awake at a time like this if you weren't!
Point FM.
Get on the ride and... Go!
Our first passenger is...
Masako from Kanagawa prefecture, Yokohama.
"I became a high school student this spring.
I fell in love with a handsome student I see every morning on the bus.
I will try to ask him out,
so please play That's What's Important to help me muster up the courage to do so."
Oh, yeah! That's great!
I love this song too. Full throttle and go!
( Daijiman Brothers Band - Sore Ga Daiji ) ( English title: That's What's Important )
This sucks...
We've got no choice.
There are no requests.
Anyway, can you go make some tea?
Commercials are almost over.
You're on in 5 seconds.
"Good evening, I need some advice.
I have a boyfriend, and we've been together for 2 years,
but I fell in love with someone at work.
My boyfriend is really important to me,
but I can't get him out of my mind.
What should I do..."
Your show's been cancelled.
...Cancelled?
Well, just change the title and find a new DJ.
We're simply getting a new sponsor.
You don't need to change the program's structure at all.
When will I start again?
Just until the heat's off... In a month.
Should I think of a new concept for the show?
Don't worry about it. It's just a little renewal.
Tamaki, you haven't taken any break since you started working here.
Just take it easy and relax for a month.
Radio director for an FM station.
That's my job.
It's a highly sought-after occupation.
But my radio show at 3AM...
rarely gets requests.
Zero requests means
it's possible the number of listeners is also zero.
That's not communication...
it's nothing more than screaming into emptiness.
But that's my job at the moment.
It's a good thing I finally got my dream job, but...
What am I doing with my life?
No way! I like Candies way more than Pink Ladies!
You know how you fall for a slightly older girl when you're in middle school?
A year or two years. Just slightly older girls really hit the spot!
And every time I listen to "Boy Younger Than Me" by Candies...
It kind of... makes my heart pound...
"Boy Younger Than Me".
Yes.
The reason I chose this job in the first place...
was an encounter with a boy who had shown me the joy of radio.
( Single title: "Boy Younger Than Me" )
Little DJ -A Tale of a Little Love-
It's bottom of the 9th.
A hit will give them a walk-off victory.
Can pinch-hitter Takano answer the expectations?
Pinch-hitting, Takano!
( City of Hakodate, 1977 )
Hello.
The pitcher is getting ready.
He's made up his mind.
Close one! Here we go again.
Can Takano Tarou get a timely hit right here?
Will his hard work of practicing every day
finally come to fruition?
Here comes the matchup.
He hit it!
A walk-off! A walk-off hit!
Takano Tarou did it! He met his coach's expectations!
Yes!
Takano!
Tarou?
He has a slight fever.
It seems he wasn't feeling very well all day.
Why didn't you tell me?!
It's no big deal.
And I had a game.
Dad would've scolded me if I missed the game over something so trivial!
Maybe he just got too excited during the match.
Ou Sadaharu is on a roll today!
He only needs 37 more home-runs to break the world record!
68,
Welcome home.
70,
Oh, he seems well!
I am. Why you say that?
Your mom called me today, saying you were all sick.
What? You told him?
I've never heard of a mother calling all the way to work for something so trivial!
Nope!
It's good it wasn't anything serious!
That's my line! Geez.
Get the bath ready.
Yes.
Music Express! ...press ...press.
Good evening. I'm your host, Ozaki Makoto.
It's time for Music Express.
Perfect.
Hello.
Oh, Mrs. Takano.
Nosebleed again.
His previous collapse was 3 days ago.
He has a slight fever too.
Maybe you should have him examined in a hospital.
Tarou! - Nice to see you again, aunt Kanae.
You must be tired, I'm sure it was a long ride.
It really was!
I can't believe she made me come to a hospital so far away over a nosebleed!
What? You didn't come here because you missed me?
No way!
Have you gotten taller again?
I have.
Kanae's nephew, huh?
Yep.
Ms. Kanae is my mom's younger sister.
"Ms. Kanae"! You're making me blush!
You must be getting old. Look how big you nephew is now!
Relax.
Your given name is also Tarou?
Yes. They all call me "Young Doc" though.
Young Doc studied in the U.S.
He's young but very capable!
I hope that's true.
Now, breathe in deep.
Breathe out.
I'm surprised you came all the way to Kayabe.
He's never gotten sick before,
I didn't know which hospital I should take him to.
It's kind of embarrassing.
But since Kanae works here...
I see.
Can I have a minute of your time, ma'am?
Yes.
Uh, Tarou...
I have to talk with your mom. Can you wait here?
A mummy!
Where is your husband today?
At work.
He's always very busy.
I see...
Can you bring him here tonight or tomorrow?
Bring my husband here?
Yes.
I have some concerns about his blood test results...
so I would like to run a couple more tests.
I would like to discuss this with your husband as well.
Honey...
I'm sorry.
That's outrageous!
My son?
We're not certain yet.
So please allow us to run more tests... - What can you test in a small hospital like this?!
I allowed him to be examined here only because Kanae works here...
Wake Tarou up.
We're leaving! - Brother in law...
Go!
Unbelievable. A wretched hospital like this will make a healthy person sick!
Sorry Kanae, I'll call you later.
( Bone Marrow Analysis Report )
Your blood chemistry is a bit imbalanced.
That's why you've frequently had nosebleeds before coming here.
Imbalanced?
Human blood consists of many different components.
The balance of all the components in your blood has been disrupted.
Is that bad?
Tarou, you get tired really fast lately, right?
That's also because the components in your blood are imbalanced.
If you're careless, you'll lose your physical strength and become more likely to get sick.
That's why I need you to take your medication regularly,
and have plenty of rest until you recover.
For how long?
Well...
it depends on how well you behave.
( Takano Tarou )
Is this a rare disease?
Why do you ask?
I mean... If I was hospitalized over a common disease,
I'd look uncool when I get back to school.
So I thought...
I'd rather get a disease no one's ever even heard of.
Great, you don't seem worried.
Let's get better soon.
Take a good care of him.
Ready, Tarou?
It'll hurt just for a while.
OK,
almost done.
Just pretend it tastes good.
Hello.
Yes, he doesn't have any appetite.
He's getting intravenous therapies.
So, it's Thursday.
What, all of a sudden?
It's because the music is different each day of the week, right?
Really? It is?
I didn't notice!
I'm amazed, Tarou!
Thursdays are Claude Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair".
How did you know that?
Are you into classical music?
Not at all.
This broadcast is on the same rotation every week.
Broadcast?
Well then, Tarou. Make sure you eat all of it.
I'm going downstairs too.
Excuse me...
Anybody home?
Good evening. I'm your host, Ozaki Makoto.
Good afternoon. I'm your host, Takano Tarou.
It's time for Music Express!
It's the spring season.
How are you today?
This is the first song for today.
Enjoy.
Who is he...
Tarou!
Didn't we promise not to leave the room without permission?
Sorry.
Head physician!
I apologize, I was playing with Tarou.
Dad?
He must have gotten bored of staying in the hospital.
That's why we were trying out a special medical treatment.
Right?
Get him, get him!
How are you,
everyone in the hospital?
Nice to meet you all,
I'm Takano Tarou from room 201.
Starting today,
I would like to introduce my recommended songs using this show.
Until now, only classical music was being broadcasted,
but I will start playing music from various genres.
I hope you will enjoy...
Is that you, Tarou?
I recorded this in the head physician's room.
...is "Show" by Sugar Babe.
Paperwork for the "special medical treatment".
Tarou!
You have a nice voice!
It's kind of embarrassing.
I didn't really want to do it.
Why? It's cool!
Everyone paused and listened!
Yes, that's really something, Tarou!
The head physician's room is really amazing.
He has shelves full of LP albums this high,
it's like a school's broadcast room...
It's even better than a school's!
What did you think of Tarou's DJ-ing?
I was surprised.
I was too.
He said his expertise was baseball narrative or something but...
Kids sure learn fast.
It's quite impressive.
I would like to have Tarou continue as the voice of lunch time.
We will monitor his condition
with medical instruments in my room,
so it shouldn't be too much of a burden to his health.
Will it really be all right?
About that, we just got the test results from this morning.
He's recovering.
Just slightly, but...
All measurements show signs of recovery.
Music Express! ...press ...press.
Good evening. I'm your host, Ozaki Makoto.
It's time for Music Express.
There's an expression "Not a cloud in the sky"
that really was the case today!
On a day like this,
I like to lie down on a river bank and look up at the sky.
When my vision is filled with nothing but the blue color of the sky,
strangely, it feels like the earth and sky have flipped around!
As if I'm falling into the sky!
"Ah! I'm going to fall!"
But it's not scary.
It feels like I'm being protected by the sky,
it makes me feel like nothing can hurt me.
There will be happy and sad times to come,
but I feel like I'll be fine no matter what...
Good afternoon, everyone.
I'm Takano Tarou from room 201.
Today, I would like to describe how this broadcast is being made.
Actually, this broadcast is always recorded in the head physician's room.
There are many big amplifiers and speakers here,
it's like a very luxurious broadcast room.
By the way, it's been gloomy lately with consecutive rainy days.
I would like to play this song,
to blow the clouds away.
( TULIP - Blue Sky )
Days like this make you long for the blue sky, don't they?
But don't worry.
You can read a book,
or watch TV.
- Takano Tarou! Or other times, you can...
quietly listen to the sound of the rain.
What?
It may feel dramatic for you.
Are you the Takano Tarou?
Yes, I am.
From the broadcast? - Yes.
What grade are you?
Grade 7.
I know you, we...
Yeah! We listen to you every day!
Yep, yep!
You...
Follow me.
Whoa!
You can come here to play.
The single room must be boring.
Thanks.
I'm Kuraichi, everyone calls me "Clutch".
I'm not sick,
but my brother's staying here, so I'm always here.
That little guy is my brother, Koro.
Koro!
And he's Nura. He seems kind of slow, doesn't he?
Ask me anything you want about this place.
Hey, what's in there?
Want to take a peek?
Living mummy!
That's a good nickname! "Living mummy Tamaki".
Living mummy Tamaki!
Tamaki?
A girl?
He doesn't have to move to a shared room!
You don't have to worry about others in a single room.
It's not like we have no money.
Honey, don't talk about things like that!
They said I can move to a shared room once I get better.
A single room is so boring!
Boring?
You're not here to play!
That... what was it called?
"DJ" thing too.
DJ-ing is the ultimate medical treatment.
Nonsense!
Honey! - Listen...
Don't play too hard after you move to a shared room.
If you don't behave yourself, I'll ask the doctor to move you back to the single room.
Where's your reply?
Yes.
Sorry, there was an emergency case, the children's room is full!
It will be adult's room...
I see, we'll stay in the single room then...
I don't mind an adult's room.
Whether or not it's with kids is not a problem.
Really?
Great.
Guys!
It's your new roommate. Get along, OK?
Give a proper greeting.
I'm Takano Tarou, nice to meet you.
A kid?
Nice to meet you.
Excuse me, Takano Tarou...
from the lunchtime broadcast?
Yes.
Hello, I'm Yuuki.
I always listen to your show.
Thank you. - You have a great voice!
I'm sure you'll get better and better at talking.
Didn't you say his voice ruins your lunch?
Suteji is really weird.
Don't let him bother you.
I'm sure he will cause a lot of trouble,
but please take care of him.
It's not a problem.
Hello.
It's no use. Tae talks to no one.
Excuse me, I'm going to the washroom.
...Music Express.
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of this show.
Like an express train, we wanted to bring you hit songs from around the world
faster than anyone else.
That's how this show got started.
We would like to continue bringing you the U.S. and U.K. chart hits faster than anyone else.
Before we get to this week's best 10, I will introduce a requested song today.
Since it's the show's birthday, we have more postcards than usual. Great!
First, from Kawasaki City...
Good afternoon. I'm your host, Takano Tarou.
It's time for Sound Express.
Good afternoon. I'm your host, Takano Tarou.
It's time for Sound Express.
Now that the summer's here,
I see way more visitors here than before!
It's very lively, I love it.
Today, I will play Sadistic Mika Band's
"Prayer to the Time Machine".
( Sadistic Mika Band - Time Machine ni Onegai ). ( Prayer to the Time Machine )
Is this really fun for you?
Yeah, it is.
Right, Tarou.
Drink this...
after the meal.
It's really rare. I was supposed to pre-order it a year in advance.
But I got my boss to pull some strings,
to finally get it...
Tarou, it's your friend.
Yo!
Oh, Clutch!
What's going on? I thought you play baseball?
Are you alright?
My body's really out of shape.
It's not moving the way I want it to.
Hey, what's this?
Don't read that.
It says "Top Secret" on the cover!
He won't show it to anyone.
What are you talking about? I'm his father.
"This week's hit chart"?
I think he takes notes for a lot of stuff.
I think it's a script book for the broadcast.
It needs a script book?
Hey, what's "A.L.L."?
All? - It's written in red. See?
Who knows,
It's probably a song, or a band's name.
Maybe this song's English title? "Ai ni Subete wo".
"All for love" or something? ( Correctly, "Somebody To Love" )
Tarou seems be doing well lately. ( Correctly, "Somebody To Love" )
Is his treatment going well?
Yes... thank you.
That's great.
I finally got the approval to get out. I'm going home for the first time in months.
This is my son, Shuuhei,
and my wife.
Say hi, Shuuhei.
Take off your sunglasses...
Welcome back.
Tarou, Yuuki gave us some snacks.
Go and wash your hands.
Why did you read that?!
Oh, your notebook? Sorry, I was just flipping through, didn't read it.
Give it back!
Geez, Tarou!
This is my notebook!
What do you have to hide in there?
I also have things I don't want others to know!
Why are you always like that?
You're against DJ-ing and bringing in weird medicines...
Always bothering me.
I hate you, dad! Don't come again!
Wait, Tarou!
Don't visit me again!
Excuse me...
It's from dad, isn't it?
Want to see inside?
Not interested.
"A Day at the Races" by Queen.
Is this the kind of music you like?
What's his problem?!
I'm sorry.
Don't be so rough on it.
Scratches will ruin the sound.
This is the album with "Somebody to Love", right?
I have the same LP.
You too, Shuuhei?
He bought an LP for you, that's a great dad.
Don't let it go to waste.
Tarou.
Tarou?
Did I wake you?
No. What is it?
Do you want me to call the nurse?
No, it's not that.
I have a small favor to ask of you.
The song in that LP your dad bought for you,
you know, the one Shuuhei mentioned today.
"Somebody to Love"?
Right, that's the one.
I want you to play that song for me in the lunchtime broadcast.
You like that song too?
No, I don't know the song.
I was just wondering what kind of song my son likes.
Why don't you just listen with him when you get better?
I want you to play it for me.
It's a request.
A request...?
A request! I feel like a real radio DJ.
It never occurred to me. That's a great idea.
But what would I do if someone requested from an LP you don't have?
Like songs by Candies!
Well, you can just get your dad to buy it for you.
Don't worry, he won't mind.
Things like that actually make dads happy.
Morning.
Good morning.
Where's Mr. Yuuki?
He was released late last night.
He was disappointed for not being able to say bye to you.
Let's see...
Shuuhei!
I came to get his stuff.
The Queen's LP that I own...
my dad was the one who bought it for me.
Your dad did?
He bought it out of the blue, just like your dad.
A mono portable player and record.
I was happy, but it kind of made me blush.
I said "I don't really like Queen"...
That put him in an awkward position.
He fell silent.
That's why you got mad, when I...
I didn't get mad.
I just didn't want you to regret it like I did.
I keep recalling that moment...
I wonder why...
Your dad gave me a request.
I heard from the old doctor.
Please play it for him.
I'm sure he's listening somewhere...
Don't tell me...
He... passed away?
Hey, Shuuhei...
Is it scary to die?
Good afternoon, everyone.
I have two big news for you today.
First is that this is a live broadcast.
Because there is a reason it must be broadcasted right now, today.
The other news is
I have received a request for the first time in this show.
Mr. Yuuki Michio, who requested this song
was released just the other day.
But... I still want to play his request today.
I have a favor to ask of all of you.
Please open the hospital windows.
Everyone, please open the windows.
Clutch, stop staring into space, hurry.
Nura and Koro too, open the window.
Everyone, please open the windows.
Window! - I'll open it!
It doesn't open!
Stop pushing!
It doesn't open...
Can you hear it, Mr. Yuuki?
It's the song
Shuuhei and I love.
Please hear it.
"Ai ni Subete wo" by Queen.
"Somebody to Love".
"Somebody to Love"?
OK, it's done.
Look.
Wow.
I'll put this by the reception desk.
Do you think it'll really work?
Yuuki gave you a request.
Once you reach one person's heart,
It'll spread like a plague.
Oh, I almost forgot.
This is for you from Shuuhei.
From Shuuhei?
You ride on, Little DJ!
Like this?
I wish my mom was nice like you.
That's so mean!
Why don't we switch then?
Want to come to my home? I like girls more.
Let's switch!
Welcome back.
She's moving in to this room today.
Her name is Umino Tamaki.
It seems like she's a year older than you.
I hope you two get along.
Tamaki.
I'm Tamaki, the living mummy.
Children in the shared room gave her a strange nickname.
Mr. Suteji.
Good night.
Oh, good night.
Ms. Tae, good night.
Your temperature is up.
You're definitely staying in bed today.
You're an easy guy to figure out.
Good morning.
You like baseball?
Yeah.
Tarou, where did you learn to DJ?
Did you learn it before you came here?
No.
You're so strange Tarou.
You're doing that broadcast, yet you're so quiet in person.
Ever since your broadcast started,
living in hospital became really fun for me.
I'm sure there are many like me.
You're really talented, Tarou.
Well, before...
I used to imitate baseball narratives in my home.
What's that?
You know, the narratives from radio.
I copied those.
I want hear it. Can you do it for me?
I can't do it now...
It's too sudden...
Here comes the first pitch... batter is Tamaki!
She swings, bam!
She hit it! It's a hit!
Wow, you're good!
Run to the home base.
Hurry, here. Run!
Runner passes the first base...
Ah! She fell!
Touch that, second base.
The runner goes around third...
She reaches home! - I'm exhausted!
Inside the park home-... - Hey!
Keep it down.
I'm sorry.
Good morning.
Good morning, Tarou.
Tarou, your face is all red! Fever?
I'm fine!
What's up, troublemaker?
Nothing... I couldn't fall asleep.
Come here.
No... thank you.
Just come, damn it.
You like that girl, don't you?
Don't be shy.
I used to live in Kurobe.
Kurobe?
The place is named after a species of tree.
Do you know the place?
I set up dynamite for a dam construction.
There were many casualties.
You never know who's the next to die.
That's why
whenever we had days off...
we'd find prostitutes.
Prostitutes?
They take money in exchange for...
I mean, uh...
Women who date guys.
Oh.
There was a beautiful one...
I seriously fell for her.
I couldn't get Hanayo out of my mind.
Her name is Hanayo?
At end of each day, I would come out of the tunnel,
and see this beautiful sunset.
I wanted to show it to Hanayo.
Nights when I'd think of her,
I can't fall asleep, just like tonight.
I wanted to tell her how I felt.
When I finally got a day off, I rushed towards Hanayo.
Did you tell her?
No.
Aww...
She was dead.
From an illness I didn't know about.
She died while I was busy working.
If you love her, just tell her.
Or you'll regret it.
A man can't forget about the woman he loves, that's how we're made.
It'll take at least 3 years.
It took you that long too?
Are you mad? It's been 20 years already.
I doubt I'll remember for that long.
That's what you think.
But you're wrong.
What was she like?
She had a beautiful voice.
Her voice?
A person's voice...
remains in your memory forever.
I still hear it sometimes.
Mr. Suteji is gone.
How come?
He escaped.
I can't find him anywhere.
Hey, head physician.
Why did Mr. Suteji disapppear?
Do you know how much it costs to stay in hospital for a day?
Money?
You're a child, so your parents pay for it.
But adults...
If he had no money?
Run away without paying?
Right.
People like that head to another hospital after a while.
and continue doing that.
They live by transferring from one hospital to another.
