Come to think of it, we're wearing the summer uniforms starting today.
I bet Konata will still come in the winter uniform.
There's always at least one person in every class that forgets.
Morning, Sis!
Wow, there was someone so close to me.
Various People
Oh, no, I forgot to apply for the giveaway in The Tele!
Darn, I was kinda going after that apron from Love Apron...
You just didn't have enough love.
You didn't have enough love, Kagami, so you forgot.
Well, I was really busy lately
with the committee stuff and studying for exams...
No, no, those are only excuses.
I've never forgotten, not even once!
Don't compare me to you! You only think of playing around!
Or rather, how you phrased it just now is really irritating.
How do you win those giveaways, anyway?
In one word: Love!
Fine, I'm a woman with no love!
Well, if you send in a normal postcard,
you'll lose where you otherwise stood a chance of winning.
How do you write your postcards, Kona-chan?
Oh, I make them to win, of course!
How?
Neat handwriting is the most basic of fundamentals.
You have to write a postcard that the choosers
would just want to get into their hands.
For example?
For example, use a highlighter to draw a border on the postcard.
Oh, that really shows up well.
Furthermore, you add an illustration,
with a motif of the item that you want to get.
An illustration?
I don't think I can draw very well.
People of that sort resort to numbers, and send in many cards.
I think I can do that.
However, even when you're submitting a lot,
don't use a printer.
You have to make sure to write each and every one by hand.
And send a hundred at once.
A hundred?!
A hundred is like normal.
That costs a fortune!
It's so that you can get what you want.
You need both enthusiasm and investment.
But isn't there a time when it's cheaper to just buy it?
There are things in this world that money can't buy.
A hundred postcards... Do they fit in a mailbox?
You don't put them in all at once,
but you send them in small portions, a few at a time.
And you have to spread it over several days.
When you have a lot of cards at once,
the chooser might shove all of them aside.
Well, there are times when it's best to not be so desperate,
and times when the opposite is true.
Then what should I do?
That's why it's all about love!
Whatever...
In any case, if you want to win something,
check out free handouts or flyers folded into newspapers as well,
and apply for something that doesn't look too popular.
Chances of winning are pretty high then.
Yeah, I'll try that.
Where's the love in that?
Kagami, Tsukasa... You sure don't look alike, for being twins.
Oh, we're fraternal twins.
So the difference is more like ordinary sisters.
Identical twins come from one egg and really do look alike,
but fraternal twins can be different in appearance and personality.
I see.
It's true that Tsukasa is so laid-back, but Kagami is vicious.
- What was that?!
- Oh, how scary. - What was that?!
- Oh, how scary.
Maybe if we set your hairdo and ribbons in the same way,
you might look more alike than we think.
Kona-chan!
No good, it's impossible to put something cute on you, Kagami.
Shut up! Don't go imagining something on your own
and saying something rude from it!
Do you have something like telepathy?
You know, how twins can be far apart,
but somehow they have the same lifestyle habits
or same taste in the opposite gender,
and even marry other twins and stuff.
That, and like when one is in danger,
the other can sense it from somewhere completely different.
There are all sorts of strange phenomenon out there.
So you have telepathy or something, right?
How about you try it out right now. Like, beep-beep-beep.
That's just you reading too much manga.
Mana-Kana, too...
Mana-Kana?
Both of them were saying how they were slightly different.
Like how Mana's the one who's really cautious,
and Kana's the one who's optimistic.
And they said their voices were slightly different when they sing.
That reminds me,
Mana-Kana had always thought that they were fraternal twins,
but they recently found out that they actually were identical.
Really?
But is that something to be so surprised about?
The definition of identical and fraternal twins changed recently.
That means there's the possibility that you two
are identical twins as well, Kagami, Tsukasa...
The similarities between you two...
Both of you like sweets, right?
Yeah, I love them.
Sort of.
Both of you are left-handed.
- Yeah.
- That's right. - Yeah.
- That's right.
What's your favorite color?
White, I guess.
- Black.
- The same colors as your souls. - Black.
- The same colors as your souls.
What was that?!
You know, with all this talk of eggs and sausage, I'm getting hungry.
We weren't talking about food.
It's so muggy.
We end up sweating as soon as it gets a little crowded.
It's getting to be that time of the year.
It's hot!
They haven't turned on the air conditioning yet.
Hold on!
It's hot!
Dear Soujirou and Konata Izumi, We have not nurtured our love for so long, but we, Kiyotaka Narumi and Yui Kobayakawa, are getting married this coming June.
The ladybug samba, punk version...
One of my relatives is getting married this month.
Wow, a June Bride! That's so nice!
Why is such a wet,
gloomy season the forerunner of happiness?
Um...
Why is it joyful to get married in June?
Yeah.
They say that the term June
originates from the goddess Juno in Roman mythology.
Juno is known as Hera in Greek mythology,
and oversees marriages and childbirth.
So, they say that those that get married in the month of Hera,
namely June, are protected and blessed by the goddess.
But Hera is Zeus's wife, right?
Yes, that's right.
I have an image of Hera being a very jealous woman,
so to me, it doesn't feel really happy.
In a wedding, which would you like to wear, a dress, or a kimono?
I would like to wear a dress.
It's what I've been dreaming of ever since I was little.
I would have to say a dress as well...
But a kimono is nice too, after all...
I think I'd like to wear both.
I hear that as of late, there are miniskirt versions,
and all sorts of colorful wedding dresses.
I see... Miniskirt wedding dresses...
If it has a very frilly-edged design, that might be really cute.
"I have many dreams, I want a lot of frills," you know?
Tsukasa is like Angel Salvia.
No, from your hairdo you're more like Daisy.
So the top should be yellow, and the skirt should be a miniskirt!
Tsukasa-san would look good in a miniskirt.
You think so?
The outfit is important,
but what kind of person you marry is also important.
A childhood friend, or a girl from a rich family.
It's hard to decide on which one.
On one end, you have a huge dowry.
You can use magic like Beho#mi or l#nazun.
But, feeling-wise...
Bianca, no doubt about it.
Hey, Kagami, you're much more pure than I thought.
I thought you'd run for the girl with the money.
You didn't have a comeback ready?
S'up, Konata.
There was a place I didn't get in that game I borrowed the other day.
Whoa, wait a minute, Kagamin.
Isn't it fun because you solve things like that on your own?
You have a point.
Yup, yup.
In other words, you understand the meaning of doing things yourself,
so you'll now do all your own homework, right, Konata?
Detectives in manga and drama shows
keep running into murders, for some strange reason.
Like Conan and Kindaichi.
If they didn't, the story wouldn't go anywhere, right?
You think so? I think normal cases would work too.
Normal?
Like running all over Japan in search of a missing person.
I think following someone has a highly game-like aspect.
It has thrill, and suspense.
Well, yeah...
Like accepting a request from a husband to check out
whether or not his wife is having an affair.
Or looking for lost pets?
Yeah, that's it.
But would you enjoy watching something like that?
No, most likely it wouldn't be any fun at all.
See?
That, and cases that happen in reality
usually don't use clever tricks like those in manga or TV.
It's true that they don't.
Like faking a fingerprint, or fabricating something,
or eliminating Luminol responses...
Like spoofing even the forensic investigation team.
Well, those that are really tough get copycat criminals,
so there's probably some media censorship.
Oh, that...
Those perfect crimes end without the public knowing,
or remain unsolved, huh...
That's a risky line, in all sorts of ways.
Don't you hate how there's so much rain lately?
You're right.
I used to like the rain when I was little, too...
Rain gets you wet, and your laundry can't get dry,
so I never really liked it.
Kona-chan, why did you like it so much?
Because rain would cancel the baseball broadcasts,
so I could watch my anime like I normally do.
I see. That's really like you to say that, Kona-chan.
But nowadays, there are so many domed stadiums...
Lucky Star!
What's wrong?
Often in manga, you have really stupid characters
and really smart characters attending the same school.
That's enough outta you!
Shut up! Gourds at the top of the vine should stay out!
When you think about it, it's really strange.
When you talk about that, I just saw this anime recently,
where the teacher and the students are the same age,
no matter how you thought about it.
Or rather, the teacher actually looked younger!
Ma'am...
What is it, Miss Ta_____ana?
It's a well-known fact that no matter who you are,
people like to see the gap between actual age and physical age.
I don't get it.
You shouldn't doubt it.
Or rather, it's all the more strange to have students
with different school scores in the same class!
You're right. I really have to agree on that part.
I hate to say this, but I'm surprised
that you actually got accepted to this school, Konata.
You're good at cramming,
so maybe you did the same for your entrance exam?
What? Is that really the case?
Well, it took more than one night of studying.
You surprised me!
But I'm surprised that you were able to keep studying.
Is there an entrance exam prep game for the DS or something?
Dad gave me a couple conditions.
Like, a Pippin for a rank D school,
a 3DO for a rank C school,
and a PS2 for a rank B school.
Izumi's dad really knows how to control his daughter.
I had a thought.
I'm even more surprised that Tsukasa got into our school.
Shouldn't it have been a little harder for you to say that?!
- All right! I won again!
- Damn, I can't win if it's a fighting game. - All right! I won again!
- Damn, I can't win if it's a fighting game.
She's put too much time into them.
You can try me at anything, even if it's not a fighting game.
Oh, is that right?
Then, next up...
I challenge you to a quiz game!
You're kidding!
I lost against Konata in a game of wits?!
I can't believe this...
Can it be... that she memorized the question patterns?
When it comes to games, her memory's always top-notch!
What shall we play next?
Don't rummage through stuff without asking.
Huh? That's strange...
You used to have a really easy party game, right?
Why do you know which games someone has?
That was something that even you would be able to win, Kagami.
It was so smelly...
Kagami, you haven't eaten any sweets for a while now.
You usually eat so much.
There's no real reason.
Oh, I get it! You're dieting to get ready for the summer?
It's nothing like that.
You don't even have someone to show off your bathing suit to!
Shut up! You don't need to go there!
By the way, you two were born on the Star Festival day, right?
It's almost your birthday now.
Yeah, so?
Kona-chan, you remembered!
Seventeen years old, huh...
Seventeen is the year before the unlucky year.
What happens in the year before your unlucky year?
It's the year where unlucky things start to happen,
right before your true unlucky year.
I see.
As my birthday gets closer and closer, I get more uncertain,
so I ended up buying all sorts of goods to ward off evil,
and power stones, and stuff like that.
That kinda sounds like fun.
Right. As I kept buying, it kinda became...
Or rather, we have that Alert Misfortune charm...
Oh, wait, it was the Avoid Misfortune charm.
Alert misfortune, huh...
Like, "That's enough. Safe childbirth, safe driving,
let's look all over all of it," and stuff?
Whatever...
Oh, that's right.
Did you know that your birthdays are on Ponytail Day?
No, I didn't know that.
But why is it July 7?
It's said that Orihime in the Star Festival legend had a ponytail.
That's really farfetched...
There really is a Japan Ponytail Association,
and they give out the Japan Ponytail Awards every year
to a celebrity that looks good in a pontytail.
Oh, is that so?
But I think anyone would look good in a ponytail.
I wonder.
I have the shortest hair, so it's really cutting it close.
But a small ponytail looks cute.
Kona-chan, you look good too.
I think you'd be okay like that in everyday life.
You think so?
Yeah, I think so.
You too, Sis...
Kagami, you're...
It's okay. Fine. I should just take it off.
You look so manly, like a samurai.
Well, excuse me!
You know how drunks usually wrap their neckties around their head?
Is there any meaning behind that?
Oh, that?
Isn't that like when they loosen their ties,
and it got stuck while they were trying to pull it off their heads?
I see.
If you're going to say that, I think people
who always carry takeout boxes are more unnatural.
Takeout boxes?
Those boxes that Kato-chan carries in the Drifters shows.
I don't think I get it.
Even now, the image of a drunk guy is always with a tie around his head
and carrying a takeout box. I don't know why...
Me neither!
I hope Orihime and Hikoboshi can see each other this year...
Twinkle, twinkle...
And I hope that Alert Misfortune charm will have good results.
That's a needless worry.
Right now the Comp-Fest is in the middle of a QUO-card giveaway.
Come to think of it, you always collect QUO-cards,
but do you ever use them?
I don't use them.
Then why do you bother?
Don't you blindly want goods from your favorites when they come out?
As a fan, and as a collector.
I don't know, cards that you never use?
You can't use it! You have to safely stow it away.
When I see people carelessly using them, it really pisses me off.
Items like this should never be used!
And auctioning or selling them off is out of the question.
If you do, of course you fail as a fan,
but you also fail as a collector!
You say it so passionately, but...
In my case, I need at least three cards.
One to keep for eternity,
and I safely stow it away in a special case just for it.
And one to pull out and look at every so often.
What about the third one?
- To spread the gospel.
- What's with that? - To spread the gospel.
- What's with that?
When you really want something,
don't you want to have two or three of them, Kagami?
Yeah, yeah, you don't. Fine, I'm an otaku. I'm strange.
No, I vaguely understand what you're trying to get at.
Tsukasa, you look like the type that would be popular with boys,
but I never hear anything like that.
Tsukasa is a bit plain, and she doesn't really stand out.
Yeah...
Maybe it's because a scary-looking sister is always guarding her?
Did you say something?
I think it's not that I'm plain,
but more like Kona-chan and Yuki-chan are very unique.
Miyuki-san really knows a lot of stuff, and is pretty,
and has a nice figure, and really wears glasses out of necessity,
- and hates dentists, and is clumsy, and is a natural airhead...
- Hey now, - and hates dentists, and is clumsy, and is a natural airhead...
didn't that get a bit strange in the middle?
But, come to think of it, there aren't any rumors about Miyuki.
Maybe guys find it hard to approach her because she's so pretty?
I don't think that's the case.
She's so nice, and looks out for others so well.
You're right.
Maybe she's been asked out a lot.
But she's saying no?
She's saying no, huh...
Or when someone asks her out, she doesn't realize she's being asked out.
That might be it.
Yuki-chan tends to be a bit dense,
so guys have to tell her in a very straightforward way.
Really, the boys in your class are all so irresponsible.
Doesn't somebody in there have enough guts
to passionately state his feelings and woo Miyuki?!
I don't think there is.
Maybe we don't have that many maniac-types in our class.
A girl like Miyuki-san is
a little more geared towards the maniac-types.
A maniac-type, huh...
Oh, it's already this late?
If you'll excuse me now...
Already?
Oh, please don't mind me, and continue to relax.
Then, excuse me...
Yeah, see you later!
Laters!
And, there was more to that story, and he...
Excuse me!
All right!
I'm sorry...
No, no, no...
It happens! I've done it before too.
I have too.
Everyone does it at least once.
You've done it too, right, Konata?
Nope.
In other words, that's one part of her moe!
Miyuki-san...
Good job!
Lucky Star!
Lucky Channel!
Morning Luckies!
Yeah, today, we're starting Lucky Channel again
with squeak-squeak-squeaky energy!
I'm Akira Kogami, your navigator! And...
Well, I'm Minoru Shiraishi, assistant to Akira-sama.
Nice to see you all.
Right, right...
It's already the third time that the two of us have run the show!
What do you think, Shiraishi-san? Have you gotten used to it yet?
No, not really... I'm sorry.
Well, it seems like you really haven't
opened up your heart to me yet, Shiraishi-san...
It seems like you're sitting a bit further away from me than usual.
Maybe this is the distance between our hearts...
That's not the case, really...
Now, I'd like to start with a twinkle again today!
Let's see... Today is a very happy project for all fans!
Can you believe it?
The introduction of the Lucky Star regular cast, first installment!
Yes. Today, we are introducing Miss Miyuki Takara.
Let's see... Class committee chair, beautiful appearance,
gentle-spirited, obviously intelligent...
That's "clearly intelligent".
Clearly,
good at literature and athletics, a perfect superhuman...
Shiraishi-san, you know a lot about Miyuki, right?
Oh, I know a lot about her!
Miyuki is very nice.
First off, those glasses!
And she's really pretty.
Usually, when someone is that beautiful,
you get the feeling that you shouldn't be going near her,
- but she turns out to be very easygoing and friendly...
- Wow... - but she turns out to be very easygoing and friendly...
I wish you would talk that much on the radio.
I see... Get you started on Miyuki, and you can't stop.
Oh, no, it's nothing like that...
Well, yeah... Was it Miss Miyuki Takara?
She's one of those pretty-faced characters?
And she's got big breasts?
And even her faults just make her more moe?
- I'm so jealous... Those beauty-type pretty women
- Akira-sama, are you there? - I'm so jealous... Those beauty-type pretty women
are also liked by the maniac-types too...
But when it comes to being liked by the maniac-types,
well, I have all the pedo...
Oh, too bad!
It's time to say goodbye already!
And so, in this segment, we always seek questions and praise for me,
as well as your opinions of the show, so please send them!
Oh, then... Please look forward to next time.
See you!
So what is she actually like?
She's just like how I described her.
You're kidding! She's not puffing out white smoke from her nose
in the dressing room or something?
Oh, on that point she's fine, she's not like you, Akira-sama.
I see.
That's amusing.
That was a unique song.
I'd like to hear a song that is easy on ordinary people's ears.
You'll know the next song, Kagami.
Let's guess what it is from the intro!
I hope this isn't another strange song.
Oh? What was this?
I don't know...
And, Kagamin, what's the answer?
Oh, it's Full Metal!
Full Metal?
Furthermore, it's Kagami's favorite, Fumoffu!
So that's it.
I just read the novel a bit, and was only slightly hooked!
For instance, on days where tears drop
Hey, Kona-chan, you're good!
For instance, on days where tears drop She can get a very mature voice out too.
For instance, on days where tears drop I think she's just impersonating the singer.
I want to have that back all to myself
So, Tsukasa, Miyuki, what are you going to sing?
I want to have that back all to myself
I wonder if I can sing something?
I don't know that many songs, though.
Because tenderness is sometimes cruel I don't know that many songs, though.
Because tenderness is sometimes cruel It doesn't matter what kind of song it is.
Because tenderness is sometimes cruel Konata's like that, so we should sing what we like too.
Because tenderness is sometimes cruel Then I'll try looking for something!
I'm not very confident in my singing...
The more I search for an answer, the more I lose sight of it I'm not very confident in my singing...
The more I search for an answer, the more I lose sight of it It's all right! We'll be the only ones listening, so relax and sing!
The more I search for an answer, the more I lose sight of it Is that so?
The more I search for an answer, the more I lose sight of it Well, then...
If you can see a rainbow in town after the rain
Let's start walking now
Something's about to begin
Next Episode Preview
Now, what's with the next episode of Lucky Star?
Tsukasa here.
You know, the other day, there was something that I laughed at so hard
that I thought I would stop breathing.
At school, in the morning...
I don't have any time left?
A Question of Motivation
Next episode: A Question of Motivation
Look forward to it!
