Oh, my! So this is what a karaoke box is like.
What's this, Nagi-sama? You've never done karaoke before?
Yes, it's very unusual for me.
Haven't you ever gone with your sister?
No, we haven't, since we have different hobbies.
Actually, what are you doing here?
Need I say? Because Jin's here!
Um, don't get too close to me.
Hey, get away from him! Can't you see he doesn't like it?
You know, Mikuriya, all this popularity almost seems contrived.
But you don't look like you're enjoying yourself. Why is that?
What's this? Did someone already put some songs in?
I did. Since it's all-you-can-sing,
I thought we could use it as background music.
The first song has to be this one!
Um... In more ways than one... I don't know about this!
You don't have to tell me
From the first moment we met
Glistening with sweat... baby face
You can't suppress that pounding heart
So you hide behind false pride
Breaking the speed limit... DRIVING
You can't even bring yourself to hold my hand
But you act tough and say "Follow me!"
Always in over your head, that's why I love you!
You're still so bland
The way you kiss is also bland
(Floating)
Why don't you take off those worn trousers
And just take the plunge?
Even so, you're still so bland
So this must be true love!
Wake up and see!
Just for you, I'll show you a hot un... deux... trois!
Gently...
Hard day's night game
I'm going to melt...
Episode Ten Karaoke Warrior Mike Takako
When was that song from?
It's from before we were born, definitely.
For Pete's sake! How long are you guys planning on standing there?
Sit yourselves down, will you?
What is this book for?
You choose songs you want to sing from that book.
Jin, how do you read this singer's name?
Which one?
This one.
Let's see... um... Ichiao...
Forgive me! I don't know much about these things...
So many emotions... What a maelstrom!
Yes.
Anyway, this karaoke party is for bringing us closer together.
I want you all to let go and rock this place!
Like we didn't already know each other well enough...
No more grumbling! You're wasting time!
Who's up first?
Oh, come on! I've never seen such an indecisive bunch!
We'll decide by rock, paper, scissors!
Whoever loses starts putting in songs!
Ready?
Rock, paper, scissors!
That day on the hill
My heart skipped a beat
I felt myself getting tanned from the sunshine
I was sure it was a dream
And I pinched my cheek
Feeling your lips on mine
I hid my shaking hands
And tried my best to seem nonchalant to you
My sweat sparkled in the sun
You always take me by surprise
But I have my pride too, after all
But someday I want to give in to you
That dazzling you!
I want to get closer to you in a natural way
It won't be any fun to take you by force
But in a way, what we have now isn't so bad
I want you to always be by my side
I want to be the first star you see in the evening!
I love it! A girl not used to singing, singing her heart out!
Takako, you're such a weirdo.
Well, thank you for listening.
Boy, being the first one to sing is such an ordeal!
So who's next?
Jin, what kind of songs do you like?
Well... I don't really have a preference...
Let's see...
I believe the next one up is Daitetsu.
You know what, I've never heard Daitetsu sing before.
Come to think of it, neither have I.
Now then, has he been blessed by God twice?
Let's hear for ourselves!
All right, then... A ballad.
I believe you forever
You and I in the wind forever
He's so good!
He's good in a natural way.
What a charming bass voice he has!
Damn him, he's adored by the god of the arts!
It was almost like a movie
What is he, a Muse-hogger? It was almost like a movie
What is he, a Muse-hogger?
Like the dream I had yesterday
Like a memory from my childhood summer days
He's very talented, isn't he? Like a memory from my childhood summer days
Oh, my! So that's what this button is for?
Such a clever device!
Hey, you were great, Daitetsu.
No... But I was pretty nervous.
Since it was my first time singing.
You mean that was your first time?
Well, when would I ever sing otherwise?
Jin? Where are you going?
To the restroom.
Who's next?
I am.
Even Mama Can Be a Cutie! Lyrics/Music: Lolikko Cutie Mama-san Trio
I thought you'd sing this one, so I put it in for you.
No way am I going to sing a niche anime song!
Hey!
What's the big idea, putting in a freakin' pop song?
Hey, even I can pick up on the mood in this room!
No way! You're singing anime songs, got that? Anime songs!
Not just any anime songs. Your top-notch recommendations!
Are you setting me up for humiliation?!
All right!
Excuse me!
The city sky glowing with its neon signs
The skyscrapers clad in filthy dreams
Tonight, as violence runs rampant again
The fallen angels will smile and summon each other
Smoldering in the depths of your soul
He's as good as expected and the song is average... Smoldering in the depths of your soul
Man, what a bore! Smoldering in the depths of your soul
Overcome that rage and set off on a journey now!
If we have to hurt each other in the name of love
Let it be ripped from my fingertips
Ah, I want to drown in my own tears
Oh, Mikuriya, great timing. Ah, I want to drown in my own tears
Order me a lemon squash! Ah, I want to drown in my own tears
Order me a lemon squash! If love is the only bond between us
Right. If love is the only bond between us
Then even memories will get in the way
Um... One lemon squash, please. Then even memories will get in the way
Um... One lemon squash, please. Ah, let us wander, our bodies naked
Let's run away!
How's that?!
What was that song from?
An original video animation show from 15 years ago.
An insert song in Youju Kishin Chaos Blade.
"Run Away With You!"
That's my song of choice, damn you!
I brought the tension down, right? That was a downer, wasn't it?
Don't underestimate us otaku, moron!
Douchebag.
Takako, how awful of you.
Right, who's next?
Um, it's me.
You haven't picked a song yet?
I've never done anything like this before, so...
Then why don't we sing a duet together?
Okay? Let's do that, let's do that!
If I'm gonna sing anyway, I'd be better off singing alone.
Casting...
Casting away my inferior heart
I race through the alley
Don't look back or you'll be caught
There's no such thing as yesterday
As long as I'm with you, everything's okay
This is... As long as I'm with you, everything's okay
Dubious... I don't even know what to say. As long as I'm with you, everything's okay
Dubious... I don't even know what to say. We're two red roses, back to back
On the other hand, isn't it just what we expected of Mikuriya? We're two red roses, back to back
I looked up at the sky
And the lonely sun will never set
Excuse me. And the lonely sun will never set
If we're going all the way
Here's your lemon squash. If we're going all the way
Oh, right! Thanks. If we're going all the way
Oh, right! Thanks. Then I'll go to hell with you
I'll take away the empty cups... Then I'll go to hell with you
I'll take away the empty cups... Ah, the sorrow burns me
Oh, these too, if you don't mind! Ah, the sorrow burns me
Sure! Ah, the sorrow burns me
I'll wipe the table now! Ah, the sorrow burns me
I'll wipe the table now!
Ah, pure passion over my head!
Excuse me! Ah, pure passion over my head!
Encore! Encore! Encore!
Dammit, you! Encore! Encore! Encore!
Uh... Mikuriya ran off in a hurry, didn't he?
Well, I'm sure that was embarrassing for him.
By the second half, he seemed completely worn out.
But we should give him credit for finishing the song.
You're next, Nagi, aren't you?
That's right. I don't know why, but I'm getting excited!
That boldness of yours...
I wish you could give even just a little of it to Jin!
Oh, but I guess it's enough?
Since you've already given so much to Jin.
Oh? What do you mean?
Just a little while ago,
Jin would never have sung in front of other people.
Really?
Yes.
Since he started living with you, I think he's changed a little.
Don't stress about it so much.
It was your first time,
so of course it didn't work out the way you planned.
But it was your first time too, wasn't it?
Well, that's true, but...
You're so lucky, Daitetsu. You can do anything.
Look at me, nothing I do ever really works out.
No need to rush.
You can take your time to improve.
Everyone has their own pace.
Daitetsu...
In both singing and art,
you have your own unique talent.
I'm sure.
Daitetsu, what are you singing next?
What? There's a next round?
I am now going to sing!
Dokkoi Foods The Hello Soybeans Song Lyrics/ Music: Dokkoi Daisaku
Father, Grandpa and Grandma
Takashi-kun and the mandrill
If you're headed to boot camp
Eat beans! Beans!
They'll build up your body with amazing muscles
And sublime sex appeal!
Beans are the meat of the field
What... What was that song?
Dokkoi Foods, The Hello Soybeans Song.
Oh, you mean that commercial song!
Why would you know a song like that?
I found it at the Tatsuya CD / DVD Store.
I can sing the theme of Shirigeya Supermarket, too!
Nagi basically only rents out these kinds of songs.
She's a blooming adolescent, but lacks sex appeal.
Which one? Which Tatsuya?
A blooming adolescent, but lacking sex appeal?
Sorry to interrupt when you're getting all pumped up, but...
You're up next, aren't you, Senpai?
Since you've criticized the rest of us without restraint,
I'm sure you must be an amazing singer.
So why don't you show us how good you are?
My, how foolish of you, Akiba.
Takako is quite an extraordinary singer!
Pure Love Generation Lyrics: Takena Shieri Music: Charlie Todoroki Takako is quite an extraordinary singer!
Pure Love Generation Lyrics: Takena Shieri Music: Charlie Todoroki
Pure-pure-roon! Sugar-sugar-rin!
Just you wait! Love Capture!
All girls are battle witches
They'll throw a strike into your heart with a hairpin curve!
Page One! The last card left is the ace of hearts
Catch me with your fingertips
Oh so skillfully!
You're a magician!
Pure-pure-roon! Sugar-sugar-rin!
Creepy. Pure-pure-roon! Sugar-sugar-rin!
Pure Love Absolute Shiny Heart
Creepy. Pure Love Absolute Shiny Heart
Creepy. With my sparkling wings
But she's good... With my sparkling wings
She's good, but it's creepy! With my sparkling wings
She's good, but it's creepy! Can I fly all the way to you?
Pure-pure-roon! Sugar-sugar-rin!
Summoning superpower! Heaven's Gate!
Zange-chan, where are you going? Summoning superpower! Heaven's Gate!
Zange-chan, where are you going? I can even conjure up a miracle
I'm going to pick some flowers. I can even conjure up a miracle
Just you wait!
Don't act like a hotshot! Kiss me!
How's that?!
"How's that," you say?
Jeez, what should I do?
What do you think?
Uh... I'm as clueless as you...
An anime voice that's totally different from her normal voice...
How did she get all those dance moves down perfectly?
Yeah, but still... That could've been a CD single, with that quality!
Only teens should be allowed to sing that one, don't you think?
I'm in my teens!
It's a backlash, a backlash.
Oh, I see.
A backlash!
Well, a backlash does make sense...
What are you guys all nodding your heads about?
It's what I like, that's all. What's the problem?
Just when I thought I'd own everyone by singing last...
That kind of impact is against the rules!
Listen, you, don't you have a song you're good at?
Huh? Singing a nursery song at karaoke is just too pathetic!
Oh, all right, that's enough!
I'm sorry I was so harsh.
If that's the case, let me call the shots, all right?
After all, you want that boy to like you too, don't you?
Why are you trying to sneak in another song?!
Because nobody else is singing!
I thought it was Zange-chan's turn to sing next.
But she hasn't come back yet.
Do you think she got spooked and ran off?
What do you mean by that, big sister?
You really took a long time.
What were you doing?
Just going over my strategy.
I see it's time for me to step up, isn't it?
Yes, since we're taking turns.
A song reveals who you are inside.
There's no better place than this to get to know one another.
Dokkoi Soybeans is a moot point!
It's Hello Soybeans! By Dokkoi Foods!
It falls to me, rumored to be making my CD debut,
to let you hear a song straight from a young girl's heart.
When did that happen?
Jin...
I don't mind not being able to sit next to you.
But let me be with you in your heart.
Please, listen to my song.
Okay...
Love Me Delicately, Please Lyrics: Takashi Matsumoto Music: Kyouhei Tsutsumi
Young girls are always such lonely hearts
They're always full of anguish
Whenever I'm suffering, I think of you
Huh? Whenever I'm suffering, I think of you
But this is... Whenever I'm suffering, I think of you
Awful.
And my heart flutters
But she's cute! And my heart flutters
She's awful, but she's cute. And my heart flutters
In a sense, she's the opposite of you, Takako. And my heart flutters
In a sense, she's the opposite of you, Takako.
Show me your smile!
This is in itself another backlash... Show me your smile!
This is in itself another backlash... And let that take me up
This is in itself another backlash... Until I reach the heavens
Come pick me up someday, my darling
I'll be waiting for you forever
Touch me gently and take me in your arms
That's right, delicately
Hey! Isn't that against the rules? That's right, delicately
Hey! Isn't that against the rules?
But after that...
Hey! Isn't that against the rules?
This is how the song was written!
Can't you see Jin's uncomfortable?
Get away from him!
You're not uncomfortable, are you?
Is karaoke supposed to be this complicated? You're not uncomfortable, are you?
Is karaoke supposed to be this complicated?
Huh? Well...
Is karaoke supposed to be this complicated?
No... I don't think so.
Oh, are we out of time?
How unfortunate!
Finished? Then let's start the second round!
Next, duets only!
Jin...
Daitetsu, let's sing together! Jin...
Daitetsu, let's sing together!
Huh?
I don't know why, but I was sweating.
Yeah, the fatigue is overwhelming...
Jin, what's the matter?
Um... it feels like... I've forgotten something.
Shino-senpai's the only one who didn't sing!
That's true! That's unfair, Senpai!
Shino?
No, no, we can't let her sing.
Huh? Why is that?
Because her eyes will open.
Right?
Yes.
But...
If you insist...
I won't deny you.
The fish are super-fresh
The meat is super-shiny
Natural vegetables at Shirigeya
The housewives beam
The husbands are happy
Let's all go together to Shirigeya
Full of smiles, it's a fun place to shop
Your town's own paradise
Shirigeya, Shirigeya
Your one-stop supermarket Shirigeya
Shirigeya, Shirigeya
The supermarket of your dreams, Shirigeya
Shirigeya, Shirigeya
Your one-stop supermarket Shirigeya
Shirigeya, Shirigeya
The supermarket of your dreams, Shirigeya
