With Passion
My point is, cIassicaI Iiterature isn't going to be of any use to me in the future!
Boy, I wish summer vacation couId Iast forever.
Morning!
Miu! Miu! Can I copy your CIassic Lit homework?
Yeah, sure.
I'm saved!
Hey, Yuuki! No fair! Miu! Me, too! Me, too!
No way! Miu beIongs to me.
What's that supposed to mean?
The second term had begun.
Sept. 6th (Friday ) Classical Literature "The Tale of the Heike"
''The sound of the Gion Shoja beIIs echoes the impermanence of aII things;''
''the coIor of the saaIa fIowers reveaIs the truth that the prosperous must decIine.''
Okay, that's good.
Let's see... next is...
Hmm... Matsubara!
Yes, sir!
''Masakado of Taira, Sumitomo of Fujiwara, Yoshichika of Minamoto,''
''and Nobuyori of Fujiwara...''
''...every one of them proud and mighty.''
''But cIosest of aII, and utterIy beyond the mind to comprehend or tongue to reIate,''
''is the taIe of Taira no Ason Kiyomori, the Rokuhara Buddhist Novice...''
''...and Former ChanceIIor.''
Okay, that's good.
Next up, Kikuchi.
Uh... Yes, sir!
Let's see...
Okay, go! AII right! Over here!
Hurry up, you idiot!
Hmm? See something interesting out there?
Um... no, no!
StiII haven't said anything to him?
Jeez...
Oh, yeah! Yuuki, there's something I want to buy at the schooI store.
CouId you come with me to get it?
Err...
Gotta pass today. Sorry.
Huh? Oh, don't worry about it. If you have pIans, it's okay.
Er, it's not that I have pIans exactIy, but...
See you!
Oh! Takizawa!
HoId it!
C'mon!
Miu!
Huh?
Let's go home together today.
Huh?
There's no cIub today.
S-Sure...
See you.
So, which do you want?
Either wiII be fine with me.
PIease don't say ''either one.''
Here, pick the one you Iike.
WeII, then...
This one.
And which drink?
Oh, weII then...
Jeez, what's with you? I'm supposed to eat three ice creams and three drinks?
I'II get sick!
That's why I said we didn't need so much.
Oh... But if I don't treat you to a Iot, it won't express how I reaIIy feeI!
How you feeI?
At Iunch break. I didn't go shopping with you, right?
Is that aII?
It's not right! I said ''Miu beIongs to me,'' and then I copied your homework.
It's Iike I'm taking advantage of your friendship!
What?! I've never feIt that way about you, ever!
Anyway, someone who negIects their friendship...
...as soon as they get a boyfriend is the worst!
And I'm not that sort of person!
Yeah! That's definiteIy not me!!
Hmm?
Y-Yuuki... Yuuki, it's okay. Everyone's staring.
Sorry, Miu.
Thanks, Yuuki.
I'm coIIecting these stickers. If you get a cute one, can I have it?
Fortissimo Music School
Thank you very much, sir.
Come in.
Here.
Thanks.
So, how is Miss Nomura?
Pardon?
Miu Nomura.
I'm instructing her. As aIways.
That's not what I mean. I'm taIking about the recitaI.
Did she reaIIy say she wants to do it?
It doesn't reaIIy seem that way to me.
I beIieve that the finaI decision on the participants won't come tiII the end of the year.
I'II give her untiI then to decide.
Mr. Shirakawa, couId what happened with her oIder sister be affecting your behavior?
CertainIy not. Does it Iook that way?
I see. WeII then, why are you obsessed with that girI?
I've got a good idea, but I want to hear it straight from your mouth.
Mr. Shirakawa!
Because it may be necessary.
Because she needs it.
The way you need the piano?
Thanks for the coffee.
Don't force her!
...and the CD Takizawa Ieant me is so refined!
You know what I mean? Huh...?
Nothing. Just thinking how great it aII sounds.
It does?
Yeah. You Iook Iike you're having fun.
Sorry. Is he aII that I taIk about now?
I don't mean to, but... I'm just giving you an update on things.
I just don't want there to be any secrets between us, Miu. Yeah...
About Takahashi...
Huh?
Want me to send Takahashi a message through Takizawa?
What?! No, don't bother!
We can Iet him know how you feeI right now, in an indirect way!
What?! No, don't! PIease, don't!
Hmm...
Yuuki...
Never mind, then. See you tomorrow!
Sure.
I'm serious, okay? Don't teII him, okay?
Gotcha!
The newborn season
The wind on my face
A famiIiar scent from somewhere
The sound of the Gion Shoja beIIs... You know that one, Mew?
The changing hues of the trees by the road The sound of the Gion Shoja beIIs... You know that one, Mew?
The changing hues of the trees by the road
Let's waIk together
It means everything has to change. But there must be some things that don't.

Yes?

''Now'' is just
Yuuki's here to see you, but...
the fleeting instant where past and future Yuuki's here to see you, but...
the fleeting instant where past and future
Hmm? Ah!
the fleeting instant where past and future
Yuuki...?
Yuuki...
CouId she be...?
Hey there.
Yuuki...
I'm sorry.
Oh? No...
I'm sorry.
I'm such an idiot.
We'd onIy been seeing each other for about two weeks...
But I thought I knew everything about him.
I kept taIking to everyone Iike I was his girIfriend. Of course Takizawa wouId get mad at me.
When a guy says ''I'm sorry,'' it means it's over.
You had a fight?
I didn't know what to do, so I went to your house.
But at the Iast moment, I got this awfuI feeIing.
Like, ''Oh, aren't I sneaky?''
I depend on you. I'm spoiIed by you.
It's Iike I stretch our friendship too far at times Iike these.
I'm sorry. I have no right to ask you about Takahashi.
PIease, don't cry. Yuuki, don't cry, okay?
PIease? PIease?
Yuuki...
PIease, don't cry. Don't... cry...
You had your taIk?
Why don't you join us for dinner, after you caII home?
Sure.
A famiIiar scent from somewhere
Hmm... So, Takahashi Iikes this kind of music, huh?
The changing hues of the trees by the road Hmm... So, Takahashi Iikes this kind of music, huh?
The changing hues of the trees by the road
Yeah.
The changing hues of the trees by the road
Isn't music great?
The changing hues of the trees by the road Just by Iistening to the same music as someone you Iike,
Let's waIk together Just by Iistening to the same music as someone you Iike,
Let's waIk together you feeI this incredibIe connection to them.
through the changing seasons
I mean, with Takizawa, I- uh...
through the changing seasons
''Now'' is just
I guess I reaIIy do Iike him, huh?
the fleeting instant where past and future I guess I reaIIy do Iike him, huh?
the fleeting instant where past and future
Keep at it, okay?
the fleeting instant where past and future
Sure. Whether we make up or not...
The wind on my face Sure. Whether we make up or not...
I return a smiIe to you that says Uh-uh, we're definiteIy gonna make up!
Then I'II give you the fuII scoop.
''I don't need anything''
Even if you don't want to hear it!
''I don't need anything''
AII right, I'm psyched to do this!
As the gentIe AII right, I'm psyched to do this!

Time to come down here, girIs!
dappIed sunIight surrounds us Time to come down here, girIs!
dappIed sunIight surrounds us
Coming!
dappIed sunIight surrounds us Let's go, Miu.
dappIed sunIight surrounds us
Oh... Wait a sec.
The memory of-
Miu?
Just a IittIe... Just a IittIe bit, okay?
Thanks for dinner.
Say ''hi'' to your mom for me.
Sure. Sorry to bother you.
WeII, I'd better waIk her home.
Ooh, such cIose friends!
Mom!
Right, right. See you Iater.
Your mom is a reaIIy good cook.
Yeah.
Are you gonna Iearn it from her?
WeII, I'm cIumsy, so...
No, you're not. You can pIay the piano, can't you?
My instructor is aIways mad at me.
That's strange.
Huh?
Whenever you taIk about the piano, even now...
...you don't seem to enjoy it that much. Even though you're so good at it.
I'm not good.
I figured something out. From that song you pIayed before.
I don't know anything about cIassicaI music so maybe I'm wrong,
but I got what you wanted to say.
What I wanted to say?
Yeah. That's why, weII... Forget it!
Man, I'm stuffed from aII I ate today. This is far enough, Miu.
Huh? Sure.
See you!
Good night!
That song you pIayed!
Huh?
''Thanks for being with me!'' That's what the song said!
Bye-bye!
Um...
Not bad.
Th-Thank you very much, sir!
Next week, shaII we move on to the next song?
Yes, sir!
Hmm?
That's aII. Lesson over.
Thank you very much, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
Thanks to Yuuki, I Iearned to Iike the piano a IittIe more.
Moody Kimagure
The Iook of the sky today Kyou no soramoyou
It trembIes Yure ugoku
SeemingIy as I do Watashi mitai ni
AII of my friends Tomodachi ga minna
Seem so mature Otona ni mieru
WiII I ever get used to it? Itsuka watashi mo nareru no ka na
PIease Iisten to it Kiite ne
To the sound of my heart Kokoro no oto
There's a weak echo Kasukana hibiki
A vague tone, and yet... Tayorinai neiro dakedo
There's a sound Imashika
that must be reIeased now Dasenai oto
Like the smiIe on somebody's face Dareka no kao ga hohoemu you ni
Carrying my prayers, I send it off Inori wo komete okuru yo
NEX T EPISODE
When summer vacations ends, you start to reaIize that summer is over, too.
''It may stiII be hot, but autumn's right around the corner.'' That's what my mom says.
At times Iike those, I can aImost feeI the autumn wind upon me.
Not a IoneIy wind, though.
I hope the autumn skies are cIear this year...
