If you are giving up singing because of something I did, I won’t be able to live with myself.
This is my life, I will decide what I do with it.
Don’t come back to my home again.
What would you guys do if suddenly you were told you were going to die?
Kaoru must be thinking about this all the time.
The five of us together should be more fun and you don’t have to be scared and all alone.
“Amane Kaoru in Concert” Please come!
- Hey, we are at Girasole, let’s go in. - Careful, watch your step.
Welcome.
Look at this...
- Wow! - I’m so hungry.
- Please take a seat. - Hey look at this, isn’t it cool? - Wow, that’s super cool!
-This is my favourite. -This is Girasole.
That's so cool
Yes, are you looking for Kaoru?
Hold on a moment, please.
Kaoru, it’s a Mr. Kudou calling for you.
Kudou?
Yes, I'm Kaoru. How are you?
I’m the one you called before, I’m that music producer...
I remember!
Sorry about that, please continue.
Actually, after speaking with you, I listened to your demo again.
Yes...
Although a little childish, I think there’s lots of potential.
Yes...
If you are free, I would like to meet with you to discuss this further.
Yes!
But, if it's not in the evening ...
I understand, how about the evening of the 12th?
Yes...really...
Kaoru?
-Kaoru... -Kaoru...
I can’t believe it!
A super famous music producer wants to meet with me!
Where?
Hold on, I have to tell my friends.
What...wait a minute...hey...hey...
Before telling Misaki, shouldn’t she tell her parents what’s going on?
Silly, she’s telling Kouji-kun.
Kaoru is in love right now.
The first person she would want to share the news with is Kouji-kun of course.
Thank you, come again.
Kouji.
What is it?
Out of the blue, he told me he wanted to meet with me.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Kudou Youhei, have you heard of him?
He is an extremely famous music producer.
He is the producer for Asami and Reisa’s albums.
Oh...
That’s the guy that called me out of the blue wanting to meet with me.
That’s awesome.
It is.
Sounds like an excellent opportunity.
I think so too, that’s why I wanted you to be the first to know.
Only because...you are the first person to buy a copy of my CD.
That’s excellent.
Yes.
But...it’s odd.
Last time when I called him, he seemed reluctant to give me the time of day.
I wonder why suddenly...
Maybe it was that concert you held last time, there were quite a few people that attended.
Yeah...
Perhaps he heard about it somehow.
If that’s true, then I owe it all to you guys for all your help.
It’s all your own hard work and effort.
Everything seems to be progressing well.
Yes, I definitely have to continue to work hard.
Here’s a prize.
- Huh...this? How cheap! - That’s not cheap, it’s delicious.
So cheap!

Thanks to ALL of the D-Fansubs Team!
Thank you to all Raw Providers and Uploaders
Thank you for watching with us! ^_^
Are you kidding?! That's awesome!
Kaoru is amazing! Did you hear?
- Yes, it’s that famous producer Kudou something... - Kudou Youhei!
Seriously, hard to believe you haven’t heard of him.
He is currently the most influential man in the Japanese music industry.
Wow, you seem to be well informed.
- Of course... - Kudou Hei is super talented and a bachelor.
Kudou Hei?
Kudou Youhei’s alias.
Is that true, is that his nickname Yuuko?
Kudou Hei...Yuuko.
Daddy wants to ask you, what’s all this about?
Ah...she’s not here.
Kouji-kun, you must be worried.
About what?
Such an eligible bachelor, wanting to meet with Kaoru.
That’s fine with me.
He has a successful career, is rich and is good-looking right?
Kouji, you have no hope...the score is like 100 to 0 for him.
From now on, Kouji-kun won’t be able to afford to take Kaoru-chan to places she wants to go.
Idiot, get back to work! You too!
You idiot...idiot...idiot...no one move!
Still very far from it, a little bit further, keep going...
- 3 more steps, just 3 more... - You dropped it into the ocean?!
- He’s in the water now. - Please hold on a moment.
- Just a bit further... - Kouji...Kouji...
- Yes...yes... - Please come over here for a moment.
It’s for you. It’s a woman calling.
Hello, it’s me...
I’m sorry to have called you at work,
but you don’t have a cell phone.
Your sources keep you well-informed about my business.
Please get in the car, I don’t want anyone to see us.
That’s your problem, if you don’t want to talk here then go home.
Wait...
I want to talk to you about Amane Kaoru.
For you to be willing to get into my car,
it must be because of Amane Kaoru.
I see you’ve even investigated the people around me.
I didn’t want to do it...
Believe me.
I know it’s too late to ask you to trust me now.
What happened before...
I know it was all my fault.
That’s why I want to help you Kouji.
Right now, I am writing my new song.
Kouji,
can you play the guitar for me once more?
Before,
when I used to play the piano and you played the guitar, our music was harmonious.
- Kouji, if you have the time... - Stop the car.
I told you to stop the car!
I beg of you,
for Kaoru’s sake.
My producer Kudou,
wants to meet with Kaoru.
He wants her songs...to give them to me.
I can’t seem to write any music,
so...
he wants her to be my ghost writer and use her songs.
What's that ...
- He just wants to use her? - This happens quite often.
And you were just going to go along with it?
Can you sing just anyone’s songs?
Of course not!
That’s why...
that’s why I came to see you!
If like before,
Kouji were by my side, I would be able to write again.
No one will get hurt. No one will be bothered.
Everything will just fall in place.
So...
I hope you will play the guitar for me one more time.
Still trying to find the easy way out and running from your problems.
I will never play the guitar again.
Stay with me
You are the brightest ray of sunshine in my life
Stay with me
I want to hold your hand forever and ever
And slowly walk the path of tomorrow with you
Everything seems to be progressing well.
Yes, I definitely have to continue to work hard.
Kouji-kun.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
Lately, she’s been practicing with every free moment she has.
Although it won’t be an easy road,
but as parents we still wish her success.
Come...come in, come in...you’re already here anyway.
No...it’s alright...it’s nothing important.
Yuuko-san...
Misaki-chan...
Mac Notebook
I can’t seem to write any music.
So...he wants her to be my ghost writer and use her songs.
That won’t do at all, do you even know what you are singing?
Take a 30 minute break.
Kudou-san, there is someone requesting to see you in the main lobby.
I shouldn’t have any appointments today.
It is someone who knows Amane Kaoru-san.
He’d like to meet with you, if you have the time.
Amane?
I’m Kudou,
you wanted to see me?
Yes.
I apologize for coming unannounced.
What is it?
I’m a little pressed for time.
Well...
I’m Fujishiro, a friend of Amane Kaoru’s.
She...
Kaoru...loves to sing.
The more people that listen to her music, the more she shines.
She has a mysterious charm.
So, I beg of you...
Please consider her talents and qualities.
Not as a ghost writer, but to appreciate her entirely.
How did you know about that?
It’s you...
Of course you would have heard.
If I had a choice, I wouldn’t use Kaoru’s songs or anyone’s for that matter.
Knowing that, would you still try to stop me?
This may not be a bad thing for Kaoru.
My thoughts as someone with years of experience in the music industry,
is that this would give her good exposure and the money isn’t bad.
The rest will be up to her.
When the time is right, she may get the chance to debut as a singer.
But...she doesn’t have the time to spare.
Please, just one time, watch Kaoru sing.
Please.
Please get up, this is a business place.
If that’s all you have to say, we have nothing more to discuss.
Well...
There are many who can easily take her place,
remember that.
Only 3 more days until my meeting with Kudou-san.
I can’t seem to help but feel nervous.
Hey...
I’m still curious what this “A” represents.
I...just like the letter “A”.
Why would you discard a guitar that you carved a letter on so specially?
Because I played horribly.
Then I will teach you, 5000 yen per lesson.
What’s wrong with you? You seem so unhappy today.
That...
Kudou-san...
I think it would be better if you don’t meet with him.
What's this all about?
Ghost writer?
Really...
I should have known.
It was too good to be true.
I’m such an idiot for getting so excited.
My parents were so hopeful too.
I’m sorry.
- If I'd minded my own business, you could of became a ghost writer. You may still have the chance to debut... - I don’t want to.
I don’t want to become a ghost writer.
Those are all my songs.
My own songs.
Shouldn’t you have more confidence?
Your songs have been approved.
Yeah.
Besides.
Last time, I was very happy because many people heard my songs.
I’m fortunate to have an important person in my life to hear my songs.
So, I will be fine.
I will continue to sing with this.
As well,
I am even more certain of my own dreams now.
Not debuting as an artist is fine.
All I need is to be able to sing my own songs whenever I want to.
That’s enough.
Kaoru, you are...
an awesome person.
Truly awesome.
Really...
strong as well.
How did you find out about the ghost writer thing?
Ummm...it’s...
Tell me.
I have an acquaintance in the industry.
Who?
Tachibana Asami.
What...Asami?...You're lying!
It’s true.
Wow, why didn’t you tell me before?
She...
is the same as me, she’s an orphan too.
We grew up in the same orphanage.
But...she hid her past to become famous.
Everyone thinks she is from a wealthy family.
And has the easy life everyone wishes for.
So...if anyone were to find out about her knowing me, it wouldn’t be good.
That’s why...
even Yuuta and the others don’t know about this.
Two good things happened today.
Two?
Because of me, Kouji went all the way to Tokyo to talk to Kudou-san.
The other is, the secret that you told me.
Today is such a good day.
I just thought of a pretty good tune.
How’s the music show schedule coming along?
It's packed till the end of August.
Cancel them all.
What? Will that be alright?
Yes.
As for Asami’s first concert,
have it delayed for now.
What?
Is it true about the ghost writer thing?
That’s so unbelievable.
Can’t tell when you look at her at all.
Tachibana Asami is such a disappointment,
and I was such a big fan.
All you do is download her photos from the net.
Yeah, you have a huge collection.
How do you know about that?
He has so many photos.
He keeps them hidden too, what a pervert.
Give it back...give it back to me.
Is Kaoru going to be alright?
That’s right, she may need company since she always had little pains here and there.
I’m just joking.
She will be fine.
She is not as weak as you think.
That’s true, Kaoru has been battling a much fiercer enemy all this time.
How about we go all the way and help her debut as a singer?
There are many examples of street performers becoming famous singers.
If she doesn’t try, how would she know she can’t succeed?
Yeah, that way that Kudou guy will realize how amazing she really is.
That’s it, for a week starting tomorrow, it'll be "support Kaoru" week.
We will wear our ultra violet protective gear, and promote Kaoru like crazy!
- Ok - Let’s go.
Take your places.
Hey...hey...what do you think you’re doing?
Thank you, come again.
Sorry.
You’re so late.
It was really busy at work.
This is my most proud piece that I'm confident about.
It might be my best one yet.
The lyrics aren’t complete yet, but I have already given it a title.
What is it?
"Song to the Sun"
Although I’ve always avoided the sun,
however when I stood beneath it again,
I realized just how beautiful the sun really was, as well as many other things.
My inspiration for this song may have come from you, Kouji.
My hands are shaking,
because this is the first time you have touched them
I can finally feel your warmth and gentleness
If the tightly closed windows were to be opened
A new wind will be blowing.
Smile...
I’m sorry, I played the wrong note.
I’ll play it again.
What is it?
Nothing,
I think I must have chosen very hard chords to play.
I guess I haven’t practiced enough.
I’m sorry, but I’m a little tired.
Sorry, I'm going now.
Hey, Kaoru...
What happened?
I’m going to push,
try to resist.
Again.
Doctor...
Turn your hands over and resist hard.
Doctor...
My left hand is going to be fine right?
Clench this...ok?
Again.
Why?
Everything has been fine, the test results were normal.
Kaoru-chan,
actually...
The test came back with negative results last time.
Your nervous system is showing signs of deterioration, starting with your left hand.
We need to do another CAT scan.
How could you ...
why didn’t you tell me?
You should have told me about such an important matter.
I told your parents.
As well, the progression is going faster than I had predicted.
No,
It's going a lot faster than I had predicted.
If only it were my legs.
Why does it have to be my hands?
Kaoru-chan...
Hello...
ah, Doctor Enokido...
What...Kaoru?
She hasn’t come home yet.
So noisy, so noisy...
It’s Misaki calling.
What’s up?
What?!
Kaoru hasn’t been here.
Actually, Kouji is already sleeping.
Hello Misaki-san?
What is it?
Kaoru may lose all feelings in her left hand.
Left hand?
What are we going to do?
Where can Kaoru have gone to?
What time is it?
It’s 2:30.
Ok, I understand, I'll go look for her.
What’s happened to Kaoru-chan?
She hasn’t gone home yet.
She may not be able to play the guitar anymore.
What?
What time is sunrise?
Newspaper...newspaper...
I think I forgot it.
4:55
Ok, thank you.
I’m going to look for her.
Hold on...
We will come too.
Hurry.
Where are we going to look?
I don’t know, look everywhere.
Misaki, you stay here.
That way you can notify us if Kaoru turns up.
I will.
Kaoru...
I’ll search over there, you go towards the bridge.
Kaoru-chan...
where can you be?
Kaoru-chan...
Eh...
hey, Kaoru-chan...
Kaoru-chan...
This is not good...
where can she be?
It won’t matter anymore anyway.
Kaoru...
What are you doing over there?
Hurry and put this on,
the sun will be out soon.
I heard about your left hand...
Let’s just go home first.
If I lose the guitar, I won’t be able to sing anymore.
It doesn’t need to be that way.
What do you know Kouji?
After finding this guitar, I found my dream and a reason to live.
But why does it all have to be taken away now?
Not just the guitar,
from now on, many more things will be taken from me.
Not just my fingers,
but many other parts of my body will start to lose mobility.
I won’t be able to talk anymore, let alone sing.
I'll only give my parents more trouble.
The only thing left to do is wait for death.
So before that time comes...
Don’t do anything stupid!
I’ve already decided.
You can’t just decide this yourself.
Everyone wants you to continue living, that’s why I came to look for you.
If you take your life away, no one will forgive you.
Leave me alone!
Wait...
Let go of me,
leave me alone!
I won’t let go.
Why?
Because I love you of course.
I will be your guitar.
Teach me how to play the rest.
Teach me...
I thought of disappearing from this earth forever.
But the one who sparked my spirit to go on...
The one who’s soul my spirit calls out to,
is you.
You..gave me light....to see new hope.
So, I believe I will be able to go on.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is...
