Perfect day for school athletic festivals all over the country
Today is the warmest day we've had all autumn.
School athletic festivals are being held all over the country.
Perfect day for school athletic festivals
What families are doing all over the country
Well, I came here to cheer my daughter on,
but to think that it would be this exciting!
It was well worth the trip.
I got quite a few good pictures.
See, isn't this a lovely shot?
Dad, just where is your daughter? See, isn't this a lovely shot?
Dad, just where is your daughter? It's my favorite angle, shot from lower right, at 45 degrees...
Energetic Despite Not Being Myself
Oh, maybe I should cut my hair for the athletic festival.
Like, going all-out and getting really short hair.
Sis, you're going to cut your hair?
You've been growing it out all this time.
I just mentioned the idea.
That meaningful reaction...
It must have something to do with a guy!
Don't relate anything and everything to that!
Tsukasa, don't run your mouth either!
But if you were to cut your hair, Kagami...
Isn't boxed Pocky normal and stuff?
No way! The basic tsundere hairdo is the twin-tails!
Excuse me for having a boring face!
Come to think of it, it's almost time for the athletic festival.
It's such a chore.
That's not a line that a young person says.
Kona-chan's athletic, so it's all right,
but I'm just going to be a burden on everyone!
It's all right.
Sis, which event are you going to participate in?
Well, knowing Kagami, it has to be, you know,
the bread-eating race!
I've been wondering for a while now,
but are you trying to pick a fight with me?
So, in the end, what are you going to run in, Kagami?
I was right?
So I was right?
She's irritating!
So, I've been training on my own for the athletic festival,
since they say autumn is the season for sports.
I see...
But are you really doing this for the athletic festival?
Aren't you doing it for the real thing that happens afterwards?
About what?
- You want me to actually say it?
- She's really irritating! - You want me to actually say it?
- She's really irritating!
I see, so Miyuki is running in the team relay.
Well, that's understandable.
In the beginning, she was going to run in the obstacle course.
Ball roll - Matsuo
5-meter race - Shiraishi
50-meter race - Yamata
100-meter race - Izumi
Obstacle course - Takara
Then, there's nobody else volunteering?
Since I've never done it before, I'm looking forward to it.
You can't, Miyuki-san.
Miyuki-san, you have really big curves,
Like here
and here
Like here
and here
so you can't run the obstacle course. You'll get hung up on stuff.
Like here
and here
Like here
and here
And when I said that, she got moved to the relay.
You know, that's something that a middle-aged man says.
Come to think of it, did your junior high have a scavenger hunt?
Yeah, we did.
There was a time that a guy picked me as the thing to find.
Me?
For what?
But in the end, he didn't tell me what was on his paper.
So many ideas as to what that unspeakable element is!
Well, when I don't know the answer, I'll ask Miyuki-san.
Don't ask stuff like that.
That's something that's truly hard to answer.
Wait, she's really asking.
A characteristic of Izumi-san that is a bit hard to mention,
that might be used in a scavenger hunt?
Yup.
What about someone with a mole on her face?
Some people are really concerned about things like that.
Nothing less from her...
Or more like, way to dodge a difficult situation!
But I don't think that's it.
The athletic festival is fun, but we have exams right afterwards.
When the athletic festival is over,
we suddenly run out of things to do, so it gets a bit lonely.
Midterms, proficiency exams, finals...
All we have left are tests, too.
Second trimester is always full of stuff,
so you end up using all your energy in the arts and athletic festivals.
- Right.
- The midterm is especially difficult, I think.
They say autumn is the season for reading,
so I guess I'll read some books.
The season's climate is nice to spend studying for exams too.
Hordes of new games come out right before Christmas too!
Though we have finals before that.
- Oh, come to think of it...
- You two...
Why don't you stop averting your eyes from reality?
I see... So it's almost time for the athletic festival...
You know that pistol that signals ready, set, go, right?
I thought that was a real pistol until I entered junior high!
That's impossible!
I think that was the first time that I looked up to a police officer.
No, that's completely unrelated. Way to hang on to a misunderstanding!
By the way, Konata, when is your school's athletic festival?
Here. It's this Sunday.
This Sunday?!
Why didn't you tell me something so important earlier?!
I mean, we just got the flyer today.
I can't just sit here!
What's got him all worked up?
Okay, today is the real thing!
Show 'em the fruit of your daily practice!
Ma'am, I haven't practiced that much,
but I'm really good at the actual take!
Don't be so blunt!
Anyway, show 'em what you got in the cavalry race!
Surround your enemy from all sides and pummel 'em!
So we should attack them where their defense is weak, right?
But all we need to do is take their hats off,
so punching is a little...
Don't sweat the small stuff.
That's one of those mistakes of youth.
You are only a boy, huh?
Sis, good luck!
Please do your best!
Hey, how are those red bean buns attached to those strings?
I'm sure they're held together by clips or something.
Then they won't come off too easily.
Be victorious! Girls should be more elegant!
There's no such thing as an elegant bread-eating race!
Ready...
She did it!
Nothing less from Kagamin...
That man has a really amazing camera.
Man, he's so easy to understand...
You're going to run in the 100-meter race coming up next, right?
For now, yeah.
How can I run fast like you, Kona-chan?
In things like this, mental images are important. Mental images!
On your mark...
Ready...
This is rather nostalgic image footage we've got here.
Goal!
Just like that.
Are you serious?
3 meters 25!
Oh man... It's only till where your hand hits the ground.
Here it comes!
That's Kagami for you. Even the sand isn't safe from her jabs.
One, two, three.
I hear it's good to adjust the timing to jump over the hurdles
with the number of your steps.
Number of steps?
Like... One, two, three!
I get it!
One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- Ready... - One, two, three.
Let's see...
Three, two, three...
One, three... huh?
Let's see, I started from the right foot, so...
I don't get it!
Right now I'm on my left foot...
Wai...
Three two, one...
Way to plow through every single one of them.
In a way, that's talent right there.
Ajapa...
I was no good at all.
No, I'm telling you,
I thought it was going to be my daughter's turn.
That's a scene that you see often.
It's finally time for the last relay race.
Yuki-chan, do your best!
No, I'm telling you, my daughter...
I'll do my best! Wait, I haven't done anything yet!
Yeah, way to go! Go for it!
All right! See, we're in second place!
They're doing pretty well.
Sachi, over here, over here.
- Here!
- Okay! - Here!
- Okay!
Oh no, we're going to be in third place.
This is what you call a race!
Do your best!
- Here!
- Okay! - Here!
They're putting up a good fight.
It's getting interesting...
I wonder if Yuki-chan will be all right...
- Here!
- Okay! - Here!
- Okay!
Okay!
Go, Miyuki!
All right! Yuki-chan, you're so awesome!
Nothing less from Miyuki-san...
She doesn't forget fan-service for the audience!
Lucky Star!
Let's see...
That must be Tsukasa.
Oh, well...
appy nry kes er ut ould ot btain ood... okay.
Hey, can't you do something about that?
I'm sorry.
In the recorder quartet for music class, I chose the alto recorder,
but I feel like I'm going to pull my finger muscles.
Why did you choose alto?
It's like, I thought the lower parts would be easier.
For now, why don't you get your fingers used to the instrument
by playing a simple song?
Yeah!
You're missing most of the notes.
Now, I'll play with you. Ready...
Wait a minute!
Tsukasa, try playing by yourself.
Something's a little different.
Why don't you relax a bit more when playing?
If you're not tense while you play, you might just end up playing well.
I see... Relax...
Right, right.
Yeah, I'll try it.
Is she spending more time inhaling than playing?
I thought about eating in the school cafeteria every so often,
but it gets pretty crowded here.
I'm getting faint...
Lines are a bother, and they tire you out. Don't you hate them?
Aren't you used to stuff like this from all the events you attend?
I don't like lines with no excitement or suspense at the end.
You're so honest about your desires.
Come to think of it, when I went to an amusement park the other day,
I had thought I was lining up for one of the rides,
when I actually was in line for the restroom.
It's a fundamental rule to check what line you're lining up for.
I waited for two hours, too...
Oh, me too.
When I'm in line, and my turn finally comes up,
Tasty Cream Puffs!
the item I want always sells out with the person before me.
Sorry, sold out
Wow, how tragic! I don't even want to imagine it!
Tsukasa, you're just out of luck.
Look, everyone, what are you all having today?
I guess curry will be okay. You can't go wrong with it.
I'm going to have ramen.
Me too. I was thinking about eating miso ramen today.
With lots of corn, and I'd like wakame seaweed on top too.
Kagami, you're gonna eat ramen flan pudding, and an éclair, right?
If I have room afterwards.
Don't you always have room?
How about you, Yuki-chan?
I'll be having a sandwich. For now, strawberry...
That sounds like you, Miyuki-san.
Right!
By the way, isn't a strawberry sandwich considered dessert?
Can you really call it lunch?
You're right...
You sure are picky about odd things.
Kona-chan, what about the choco-cornets that you always eat?
Aren't sweet buns considered snacks?
It's Tsukasa who has the comeback?!
Now, that aside...
I have an unfortunate announcement for Miyuki-san.
The line for sandwiches is over there.
That's so like her!
She's a walking example of moe, after all.
Hey, it's your turn now, Kona-chan.
I'd like some curry, with extra roux, please.
Sure, sure.
You're so cunning.
I'll take whatever I can get.
Okay, next!
I'd like soy sauce ramen, with slightly hard noodles.
Okay, wait just a minute.
Thanks for waiting, here's your curry.
I'll go on ahead and save some seats.
- Please do!
- Thanks!
Let's see, next person?
Oh, yes. Miso ramen, please.
I'm sorry, the person before you got the last of the noodles,
so we're all out of ramen.
You know, if you don't mind soy sauce flavor,
you want to eat this? I'll settle for the kitsune udon.
Thanks, Sis...
You know, Sis?
The order in which we came out
determined who was the older sister, right?
Right.
I'm glad I was the younger sister!
Why?
I mean, if the older sister is asking the younger one for tutoring,
or asks to see her homework, that's a bit pathetic, you know?
For the time being, I don't think things like that matter
when it comes to copying homework.
In the first place, we're twins,
so there's not really an older or younger sister.
Don't worry about it, just hurry up and finish your homework.
Yeah!
But if I were the older sister,
and if I were reliable just like Sis...
Sis, can you show me your homework?
Again? I guess you can't help it, Kagami.
Hey, are you all right? Get a hold of yourself! Wow, this is turning into something amazing!
Ta-dah!
In Newtype...
My postcard...
Got selected!
It's the May issue!
Konata Izumi, from Saitama Prefecture...
The one where Akira is stepping on Shiraishi! Everyone, look for it! Konata Izumi, from Saitama Prefecture...
The one where Akira is stepping on Shiraishi! Everyone, look for it! Hey, good for you. I'm amazed that this got on the magazine.
It's amazing! I'm so surprised!
Things like this don't happen every day!
Well, yeah, really!
Now there's another fun aspect in buying the magazine!
No need to praise me!
1260 yen and 567 yen?
One more book, and I can get a point...
Then, for now, I'll settle for something...
Hmm...
No, that's what they want me to do!
I can't let the wholesaler do me in like that!
Making someone buy something unplanned
just because I want the extra point... That's their tactic!
I'm not so foolish as to fall for that!
I forgot that volume 5 was already out.
All right! This makes it okay!
yum
Your total is 2587 yen.
Oh, well...
This one is for spreading the gospel...
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- I can't get it off... - Oh, I'm so sorry.
Maybe they don't want to be separated.
I had thought things like that happen only in manga and games,
but they happen in real life too.
You're right.
That means...
Those two totally tripped their flags right now!
Konata... the Japanese word for "fantasy" uses the kanji
for "illusion" and "belief"...
Why don't you separate your dreams from reality?
Lucky Star!
Lucky Channel!
Morning luckies!
Today, I deliver love to you once again with a dream-colored heart!
This is Akira Kogami, navigator of Lucky Channel!
Likewise, I'm Minoru Shiraishi the assistant.
Well, time goes by so quickly
that this show is already on its eighth episode.
You're right. We should start thinking about new things soon,
or people will start to say we've fallen into a rut.
What was that? or people will start to say we've fallen into a rut.
What was that?
What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
No, I just would like to do all sorts of things.
Now you've said it. No, I just would like to do all sorts of things.
Or that's what I thought...
Why don't you do it? Or that's what I thought...
Why don't you do it?
By the way, when I was walking around town the other day,
someone called me over!
A survey for some day spa?
Oh no, Shiraishi-san, are you serious about that?
No, of course it was from a fan!
That's never happened to you, right?!
No, not at all!
Of course, right?! You're just an assistant, right?!
Well, keep doing your best!
But fan-letters addressed to me...
There we go, Shouichi... This many!
Why?!
Hey, Itoh!
Aren't there any for me?!
So amazing... I feel like I'm a voice actor! Aren't there any for me?!
So amazing... I feel like I'm a voice actor!
So there's some for me too!
What, only one?!
Your membership is about to expire...
This is junk mail from the video rental store!
Everyone sitting in front of the TV, please send me fan mail too!
I'm looking for lots, lots, lots of them!
Akira-sama... we should get to the actual content soon.
Don't you get so damn conceited.
There are so many possible replacements for you.
I'm sorry...
Ta-dah! We have an announcement!
tnemecnuonnA tnatropml (Important Annoucement)
Believe it or not, we're going to
- make figurines of characters from this series!
- Akira-sama... The board... The board is upside down! - make figurines of characters from this series!
- Akira-sama... The board... The board is upside down!
Oh, really, you knew that the whole time!
Geez, you're so good, Akira-sama!
Actually, the plan this time around...
Don't touch me.
Oh, this is strange...
Well, the plan this time around is...
Don't touch me.
Well, this time... huh?
What the hell is wrong with this?!
Hey, Seiji!
Akira-sama, please calm down! You're covering! Covering! Don't cover me!
Hold on, that's the name of the manager for the person inside! You're covering! Covering! Don't cover me!
Hold on, that's the name of the manager for the person inside! I'm telling you not to cover me!
Can it be that you did this...
Of course not!
Yes! And so, in this figurine project,
we'll have all of you vote
to see which character will be made into figurines!
!snalP gnikaM enirugiF lennahC ykcuL (Lucky Channel Figurine Making Plans)
We'll be waiting for your passionate thoughts
on which characters to turn into figurines!
Everyone, please vote!
Okay, that's all for today!
Please look forward to the next Lucky Channel!
Bye-nee!
If we hold a poll like this,
of course someone from the main show will win first place.
What is this?
Am I some sideshow?
No, that hasn't been decided at all.
Oh, that's right, I'm finally going to become a figurine...
What are you talking about?
Things like this are kind of...
Yuki-chan, that was amazing!
I'm sorry that was so unpolished.
I think I saw a new side of Miyuki.
Oh no, you're embarrassing me.
Hey, hey... Then, Yuki-chan, let's sing together.
Oh, let's do that.
Yeah, sing, sing! A duet, then?
What can you sing?
Let's see...
Then, to pass the time, I'll go!
You're going to sing again?
Kagami, you should sing more songs too!
What is this?
Saiyuki. Machaaki's Son Goku was so great!
Huh? Wasn't that played by Shingo-chan?
That was the third recreation of the old Chinese novel.
This is the theme song from the first series,
which was on the air from 1978 to 1980.
Exactly how old are you?!
This is a long intro.
This is where Mr. Akutagawa makes his wonderful narration!
I don't know who that is!
Oh, here it comes...
Another shout?!
Born from an egg on a mountain...
Sorry, since it's all in English, I've had enough.
You pulled the scene this long, and you end it like that?!
Next Episode Preview
Now, what's with the next episode of Lucky Star?
Miyuki here.
There are times when you use the term "Super-D Class"
when you express the amazingly large scale of things.
The D in this term comes from the battleship HMS Dreadnought
that entered service in the English navy in 1906.
In other words, "Super-D Class" originally referred to
a class that was larger than the HMS Dreadnought.
But that has changed over time to have a more general meaning,
like the one I gave in the beginning.
Next episode: That Feeling
That Feeling
Look forward to it!
