"How are you? I'm writing this letter from Hawaii. It's now 5 p.m. here."
"It was a little noisy on the beach, and when I looked..."
"...the blue sky and ocean and the white sand had changed, in a flash."
"As if in a dreamworld..."
"...everything had turned orange."
Usually, I spend precious nights sitting beside you as you drive along.
Your cancellation call smelled of a lie. I hung up, pretending not to notice.
My manicure, now dried, is going to waste; its color will just decorate the night.
A-HA-HA... I'm the actress in the mirror.
Though I should say what I really feel, hesitation whispers in my ear.
'Cause I love you... I'm the actress in the mirror.
The more I put on an act, the further away I get from my true self.
You've broken my heart.
A-HA-HA... I'm the actress in the mirror.
I wish I could bring myself to cry, but I change what I say to fit my tough act.
'Cause I love you... I'm the actress in the mirror.
I've realized my tragic mistake, yet I cannot return.
You've broken my heart.
KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD
HAWAIIAN SUSPENSE
We were greeting our second morning here. It was heaven, a true paradise.
Everything had been just fine, up until yesterday...
...but suddenly, without warning, it happened.
I want to cast a spell over your playful spirit...
...that will make you crazy about me.
Romance is deja vu; an unfamiliar memory. I feel our lips pressing together.
Love me... tenderly... Golden summer mirage...
Someday... Someday... Please let my body feel your lips...
...on that morning when we've become lovers.
Someday, someday... I'll wait for that forever.
Wow, this is great! I can't believe it, a real tropical island. Aloha!
That's great, but you want something to drink? I'm dying of thirst.
Great idea! What about you, Madoka?
Three sodas, then. "Juusu": In Japan, both soda and juice are called "juice."
Wait a second, I'll get my money.
Oh, I almost forgot! Madoka, did you see today's paper?
I guess there are rich people in Hawaii too!
Well, I'd expect so.
But this is interesting. This person had the same name as me!
Maybe she's a Japanese-American.
"A Japanese-American?!"
Shoot! I left my wallet in the room!
Oh, so did I! I'll go get them, Sempai.
B... But... you don't know where my wallet is!
That's okay! Besides, we're going shopping later on anyway, right?
Hikaru's all excited.
We had been invited to the islands for a concert...
...in which Ayukawa's parents were performing.
No... It... It couldn't be...
What are you following me around like this for?
What do you want...?!
Huh?
In the middle of the Pacific...
...on this remote island 6200 km away from Tokyo, Ayukawa was...
Hmm? What's wrong?
What? Oh, nothing...
Ayukawa was loosening up, and becoming very...
...very...
...VERY attractive...
My back.
What?!
Hurry up.
And the summer heat was warming her up even more...
And I...
So soft...
What?
Huh?
You were thinking dirty thoughts, weren't you?
What, what are you talking about? I wouldn't do that!
Ayukawa's back felt so wonderfully smooth and slippery...
...that she seemed larger than life...
I knew it!
No, it's a mistake, a mistake!
Holy...! "Dokin:" The sound of one's heart skipping a beat.
In short, it... it...
...felt as though the sun's rays were almost directly striking my brain...
...making me feel a happy vertigo...
Hmm, now let's see...
I found Sempai's wallet! It was pretty easy to find too.
Maybe it's whoever was following me earlier...
Oh, it's a letter. Wonder who it's from?
Hey, don't you think Hikaru's late? It's been 30 minutes already.
Uh-huh... The concert's at sunset, right? Maybe she's shopping or something.
I'm going to go look for her.
Okay then, I'll come with you.
Hikaru?
Hey, Hikaru, are you in there?
Could it be...?
A kidnapping? That's ridiculous!
Ayukawa! Maybe it's the kidnappers!
I hope this is the right place...
They said to wait here for further instructions...
"Is... Is it them?"
"Queen's Choco?!" "Choco": Japanese for "Chocolate."
"Is that their name?"
"Who... Who are you people? What? 'No police?' I don't understand."
"Speak Japanese! Hey, are you listening? Hey! Hello!"
"Hello?! They hung up. "
Wh... What did they say?
For us to put all our money in a bag and follow their instructions...
...if we want Hikaru back...
"Come to Diamond Head"
"Queen's Choco"
But why Hikaru?
I don't know.
Basically, this all happened because I sent Hikaru to get my wallet...
"We should've told the police after all..."
"We can't! If we report this, Hikaru's life might be at risk..."
"Well, then, what do we do?"
"We'll handle it ourselves."
"What?!"
"We HAVE to handle it ourselves."
"And all this running around..."
"...is them checking to see if we're being followed."
"That has to be it."
Kasuga!
Huh?
Can you read it?
What does it mean?
Wh... What is it, Ayukawa?
That's it!
B... Blue Dolphin! Then, Hikaru's in there?
Let's go.
B... But this is America, right? What do we do if they point a gun at us?
A... Ayukawa!
Looks like one guard.
Yeah.
Looks like Hikaru's inside.
Yeah.
Hi... Hikaru! Where are you?
She doesn't seem to be here.
More of those instructions!
Ho... Ho...
Well, it looks as though they didn't kill us...
You're taking this well. How's your face?
I'm used to this kind of thing.
Well, then, do something about this.
Okay, I will. Close your eyes.
Huh?
I'm going to cast a spell. Go on, close your eyes.
Wh... What do you mean, "cast a spell?"
Don't worry about it. Just close your eyes.
No... No way!
Voila!
You see, the ancestors of the Kasuga family were all Ninja.
What is it, Ayukawa?
Is someone there?
Who is it?
Is someone there, by any chance?
Hey, cut it out.
Are you Japanese?
Uh, yes...
Yes...
Who'd have thought that my first vacation abroad would end up like this...
That voice... I've heard it somewhere before...
I've been mistaken for the daughter of a company president.
They're demanding a ransom for me. That's what I'm doing here.
This sort of thing must happen a lot.
I want to return to Japan.
I've been sitting here crying, feeling homesick for Japan...
"In the sky, the rising moon..."
"...like one I'd seen before, over Mt. Mikasa, in Kasuga."
Isn't that by Abe? "Abe": Abenonakamaro, author of the poem Hikaru sings.
Kasuga... Kasuga... Kasuga Kyosuke!
Hi... Hikaru!
Madoka? And...
Darling! I missed you so much!
We were so worried about you.
I'm sorry. I thought I'd never see you two again.
Princess! Together we shall return to Japan!
Yes!
Hikaru's no big company president's daughter.
That's right. I'm just a normal girl.
How many times do I have to tell you?
My name is Hikaru. That's "ru," as in "ra-ri-ru-re-ro!"
Sempai, Madoka!
Come on, let's go!
Hikaru!
You okay?
Yeah.
Okay, can you stand?
Here they come!
Over here!
Kasuga, that gun!
Give it to me!
Ayukawa?!
Ayukawa!
Madoka!
Ayukawa!
Madoka!
Looks like we missed the concert.
Yeah...
I wonder if we can ever come back again...
"Greetings. Thank you for your letter."
"In any case, even though a lot happened, we all returned safely home to Japan."
"But I'll never forget the moment when I genuinely feared for my life."
"It's been a week since then."
"Right now, for some reason, things seem to be a little boring."
"And I keep thinking that I'd like to go back again with everybody."
"P.S. To tell you the truth, I wish it could be just the two of us..."
I just dance in the sweet memories... (Sweet memories)
At a train station on a faraway day...
...snowflakes dance on the platform, and I race up there, out of breath.
The days we had to be apart made the memory of you...
...a happy one, like seeing your photograph.
"I just dance in the sweet memories" The pain I suffered...
"I just dance in the sweet memories" ...has taught me how to love.
I just dance in the sweet memories...
(He's my one and only; you never can tell)
I just dance in the sweet memories... (Sweet memories)
I just dance in the sweet memories...
