Can I be the producer for your band?
Look at the camera!
Everyone smile together!
Okay!
Kaoru!
- Misaki, I told you to knock before you... - Look at this!
Eh?
Tachibana Asami and new-comer singer involved in love triangle.
New-comer singer has "XP", an incurable disease
Do you have anything to say regarding your daughter's illness?
Do you know your daughter is in a relationship with a juvenile delinquent?
When will they leave?
What exactly has Kaoru done?
New-comer singer has "XP"...
an incurable disease
What was that? There was something at the window...
Hmm?
Kouji-kun!
Is everything okay?
Yes
Dad, mom and Misaki are accompanying me.
You?
I'm fine. They don't seem to know where I stay.
That's good.
Kaoru...
- About the article... - I know.
I know.
Kouji,
Keep an eye on them during practice. Don't let them get lazy.
How is Kaoru now?
The media is keeping a close eye on her.
Is she okay?
Yeah.
She told us to keep practicing.
That's just like Kaoru.
But... isn't there anything we can do?
How about we raise a protest against this publisher, or something?
It's useless.
The publisher wouldn't even care if it was brought to court.
We can only wait for the issue to calm down.
I know it sucks.
Okay! Let's practice! Practice! Let's start practicing!
-Let's start practicing! -Yeah.
- Okay. Let's go. -Practice! Practice!
Hey... You're going to write a song at a time like this?
Everyone's practicing. And I can't lose to them.
Kaoru... It's Kudou-san.
Kaoru here.
The media?
They're camping on our door step.
Just ignore them.
I will.
And... regarding the article...
All that was fake! How could I have this kind of relationship with Asami-san?
It doesn't matter.
The problem is that this rumor exists.
I'm sorry, but your band's image has been negatively affected.
Even the debut would be met with negativity.
Kudou-san?
Regarding the debut, treat it as it had never happened.
Wait a minute! I can't accept that!
I'm sorry.
We had no other choice but to do this.
I hope you understand. About the contract, I'll contact you again.
Kaoru?
Regarding the debut, he wants us to forget it ever happened.
How can they do this? Because Kaoru has done nothing wrong!

Thank you for watching with us! ^_^
Kouji-kun!
It's Kaoru.
Hi, what's up?
Is it because of the article?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Sorry.
This sucks.
After all our hard work, I thought we would get to fulfill our dream together.
It really sucks.
I understand. I'll go talk to Kudou-san about this.
Kouji...
I can't accept this either.
Talk to you later.
Kouji-kun... what did he say?
He said he'll go talk to Kudou-san.
Hey... what happened? What's there to discuss with Kudou-san?
Kudou-san said,
to treat our debut as something that has never happened.
Why's that?
I'll go talk to him tomorrow. To ask him to reconsider.
-I'm going, too. -Me, too. -Me, too.
This is a band matter, isn't it?
Yes.
Oh, Dr. Enokido?
Sorry to call so late. I heard the matter got out of hand.
Is Kaoru okay?
Yes.
She's a strong girl.
How's her health?
It's only a bit now, but there seems to be some deteriotation in her brain.
No, besides the symptoms in her left hand, there haven't been any new symptoms.
Still, please take more caution.
With her current condition, we'll never know when other symptoms will develop.
I understand.
You guys suddenly appearing here, what did you plan to do if the media found out?!
We heard from Kaoru.
I'll clear up the rumours. There's nothing between me and Asami.
Why did you hide the fact that you were previously convicted?
- That has nothing to do with this! - Ryuusuke!
- Kouji has already paid the price for his mistake. - I know.
But the public will not understand. They will be swayed by the rumours.
It might be cruel, but it's better for you to suffer now rather than later on.
If I leave the band, would you reconsider?
- Kouji... - What are you saying...
No matter what, I would like to see Kaoru's dream fullfilled.
That's all I want now. I'll step down.
So regarding the debut...
With the way things are now, even if you step down, things will not change for the better.
Moon Child... Tachibana Asami... all are over.
Even Asami's contract has been terminated?
Even I... have times where I am powerless to do anything.
Kaoru-chan is waiting for your news, right?
Ryuusuke, lend me your phone?
- Sure. - Thanks.
- Hi. - It's me.
I'm sorry.
It was no good.
Even Kudou-san seems unable to do anything about it.
Not just us, but even Asami as well. They're planning to give up on us all.
Asami-san, too?
There's nothing we can do, I'm sorry.
It's hard to learn the chords on a guitar, isn't it?
Huh?
But with perseverance, one will be able to have a grasp of it.
As long as we don't give up, the dream will never fade.
No one will be able to take it from us.
So, let's continue striving for it.
We've only just lost a chance this time.
That's all it is.
Kaoru.
If it's like that, then our next dream should be wilder and harder to achieve right?
Yeah.
Talk to you later.
Kouji.
- Let's go back and practice. - Ok.
Thank you.
Kaoru?
I...
Even with just one breath left, I would still like to put in all my effort.
Maybe there's only a year left, maybe there's only half a year left.
But I will try my best and not lose to anyone else.
I...
I'm so proud to have you as my friend.
Thank you.
But its so lonely, without Kouji-kun around.
Maybe,
like Romeo and Juliet, he'll appear in front of the window.
Huh?
Where are they going?
Eh?
Huh?
Is Fujishiro Kouji here?
- There's no such person here. - Please leave!
Hey! Aren't you Fujishiro-kun?
- Which one of you is Fujishiro? - Are you Fujishiro Kouji-kun?
- What are your views about the article? - In reality, which one do you prefer?
- What is this? - Do they both know about your past conviction?
Why is Tachibana Asami interested in you?
Hey! What the hell are you talking about?
Hey! Stop it! Stop it!
It hurts...
Hey... what have you done...
I didn't do anything.
Yeah!! Kouji didn't do anything!
Why do you resort to violence for everything?
You want to go back to the detention center?
Call the police.
Hey! Somebody help! Call the police!
- Kouji-kun! - Wait!
Kou-chan!
Kouji!
Kouji didn't do anything wrong! We all saw it with our own eyes!
Sumitani-san! Please investigate properly before arresting an innocent person!
With the way things are now, there's nothing I can do!
If Kouji is found guilty, what will happen to him?
- Sumitani-san - Calm down!
With him having a past conviction, it's possible that he won't be back for at least half a year.
- I guess I'll head on home now... - Ok.
I'm so sorry to have bothered you with this.
Hey... why so polite? You can count on me for anything.
I understand.
Hi, hi!
Eh?
Huh?
Kaoru! Something bad's happened!
- Kouji-kun... he... - Calm down!
- Kouji's being taken into custody by the police. - The police?
Kouji's framed by someone! They say he hurt a reporter!
Now the police are bringing him in for questioning.
It's possible he might be in jail for more than half a year!
I...
No!
I can't let that happen!
Kaoru!
Kaoru, you can't!!
Kouji...
Hey, let's go.
Kouji!
Stop the car.
Stop the car now!
- Oi! - You can't!
Hey!!
Kaoru!
No!
Kaoru!
Kaoru! Do you want to die?!
Hello? Dr. Enokido?
This is Amane.
Kaoru has been exposed to direct sunlight!
Yes.
Kenritsu General Hospital? We'll send her there immediately.
At the Miura Resort on Kanagawa Island,
around 1pm today,
a 19 year old youth rumoured to be involved with singer Tachibana Asami
was again linked to a violent incident.
As a result he was taken in custody by the police for questioning.
The victim is Kuroiwa Atsushi, a 48-year-old reporter.
Kouji...
- When he was interviewing the accused, he was allegedly punched by the accused, - Why?
fell to the ground and suffered head injuries.
The victim was the one who wrote this article.
Kouji fell into his trap completely.
This will create even more problems.
What's going to happen to Kouji? And the band?
- How can we even let them appear now? - Is there no way to save him?
All this started because of you.
If you didn't go to see him, this article wouldn't have even existed.
Yes?
Oh, really?
Amane Kaoru has been admitted to hospital.
It appears that she ran out after Kouji in broad daylight, just before the police took him away.
How is she?
The highest point of infection should occur the day after tomorrow.
But it should be a minor one. The chance of her condition worsening in the week is low.
Luckily she applied the UV cream, so her injuries weren't very serious.
That was a fortunate thing in this mishap.
Kaoru...
How's Kouji?
He's under police investigation now.
Kouji didn't do anything wrong. He didn't do anything wrong!
The only thing you can do now is to calm down and get better.
Yes. If anything happened to you, Kouji would blame himself for it.
If he really didn't do anything wrong, all suspicions will soon be cleared.
That's true... I understand.
Good.
I did not do anything. He framed me.
But the victim's statement said that you punched him.
His head was seriously wounded.
Do you think anyone will believe in your stories?
I did not do anything.
There's also the incident from 4 years ago.
How about admitting your mistakes now?
I didn't do anything.
Kaoru...
I brought it here.
Even though it cannot replace Kouji-kun,
at least it can remove some of your loneliness, right?
If I don't ever get to see him again...
Kaoru...
Kouji!
Are you all right?
It's just a minor infection. I'll be alright soon.
I see.
If it had been me,
I might not have chased after him.
But,
you did that...
Without a care for youself and the sun.
Just for Kouji.
I've lost.
Now I,
no longer have the right to love Kouji anymore.
Asami-san...
You,
put down your life for Kouji.
I wonder what I can do, to help the two of you.
This is Tachibana Asami.
Then...
We'll agree on that.
Come out.
You've been released.
Eh?
Because of lack of evidence, the victim's charges have been rejected.
Thank god... Kou-chan you've been freed so fast.
Kaoru... is she okay?
- Get in quick. - She's waiting for you.
We interrupt our scheduled programming to bring you
an interview with Tachibana Asami, regarding her past.
We met each other in the orphanage.
We both lost our parents at a young age. We grew up together, like brother and sister, in the orphanage.
Then you must know about the time when he resorted to violence and injured someone, right?
That time, he...
was only trying to protect me.
5 years ago,
I was nearly raped.
He,
did his best to protect me.
At that time he told me, even though he was trying to protect me,
if the news got out, there might be some strange rumors.
So, almost being raped, nobody must know.
He,
in order to protect my future.
He reported that he started the fight,
and went to Juvenile Detention Centre.
But I didn't wait for him,
I left the orphanage.
I betrayed him.
Because I betrayed him,
and because I was unable to write a new song,
I was sad and lost, and thought of relying on him again, like in the past.
But, I did not find any salvation from him.
He,
had already moved on with his future,
He's with a girl who has an incurable disease, who's moving on bravely,
and who's very strong and talented.
There's no way I can come in between them.
This incident...
has been caused due to my selfishness.
I have caused so much anguish,
to their loved ones.
For that, I'm truly sorry.
Kouji...
Idiot.
Why did you rush out in broad daylight?
Because...
You're okay?
It hurts a little...
But why are you out?
The charges were rejected.
Probably that guy and Asami made a deal.
That interview,
for Asami-san,
must've been painful for her,
to have to spill the truth out.
I wonder...
For Asami, this might have been a release.
A release?
She has always felt bad about living in lies and deceit.
I see.
Kouji...
I thought I would never see you again...
I don't want to be separated from you ever again...
I'm sorry, for taking things into my own hands.
Anyway, this counts as my retirement press conference, right?
You've become stronger.
The old you was always afraid of something.
You kept your past memories locked away.
You look beautiful now.
But...
I guess its too late now.
I have something to show you.
It's all your fanmail.
Your confession was very effective.
And... Moon Child also received all this.
All hoping and awaiting for their debut.
Then...
Of course we'll strike when the iron's hot.
Kudou-san's usual style.
I also hope that you'll continue singing,
and stay by my side.
You watched me from here.
Yup, I watched you from here.
The guitar?
Misaki brought it.
Because the moon is so beautiful.
Because the sound of your guitar is so soothing,
I just want to continue listening.
I think that I want to stay by your side forever.
Are you okay?
Kaoru, are you okay?
Kaoru...
Kaoru!
Kaoru.
