All the days go by at high speed.
So how are you? Have you found yourself a love by now?
We dance, we kiss, we go our separate ways...
So why... why does my heart tremble so tonight?
Even if we hide our agitated feelings...
...we cannot keep ourselves apart.
That's high-school love.
Oh! Choose me! And take on me!
Dance with me again!
Choose me, and let's fall in love.
Oh! Choose me! And take on me!
Dance with me again!
And hold tight to the me that no one knows...
...because lovers' hearts are whimsical indeed.
KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD
AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION
"Kyosuke..."
"What... What is it, Akane?"
"Kyosuke... I love you."
"Wha... What are you, crazy? We... We're cousins!"
"So what... It doesn't matter..."
"Oh, you idiot! Stay away!"
"We can't do this!"
"Don't embarrass me..."
It began with a Foreboding Dream...
...in the dazzling sunlight of early summer.
Man... what a dream...
'Morning, Kyosuke!
A... Akane!
Hmm? What's with you, Kyosuke?
Uh, nothing in particular... So, what are you doing here?
Well... actually, I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor?
Yeah. Be my boyfriend, Kyosuke!
What...
Well, you see...
"What is it?"
"Oh, nothing..."
"You're strange, Akane."
"Glass of water, please!"
"Oh, right away!"
"Madoka..."
"My, but you have a stupid look on your face!"
"Still only interested in girls, eh?"
"Even though you're a senior now."
"Leave me alone. It's none of your business."
"Maybe so, but..."
"...you're the only one in our class who doesn't have a boyfriend."
"And as your friends, we can't let you go on like that."
"And yet, having a boyfriend has its problems, too."
"Yeah! On our last date, my boyfriend tried to keep me out late."
"Well, when I went to my boyfriend's house a few days ago..."
"...he tried to get me to do it with him!"
"On that score, Akane, you..."
"...are so lucky!"
"What'd you come here for, you stupid girls?"
"D... Don't be so rude! I have a boyfriend, too!"
"What!"
"Well, uh..."
"Not again."
"You're stretching it."
"I... I'm not lying! I'll introduce him to you tomorrow!"
And there you have it.
Man, all this just because you put on some stupid act.
Don't say that. Please, please do it.
Basically, you don't want to feel ashamed anymore, right?
Uh-huh.
So you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, right?
Uh-huh.
Okay, okay, I hear you. I'll do it.
Really?
I swear, it's because your personality is more savage than a man's...
...that you haven't got a boy--
That's enough out of you.
Right.
But I think that putting on an act like this is actually quite feminine...
Hmm...
Hmmm...
So this is Akane's boyfriend...?
Well? Now you know that I'm a proper girl too, right?
I'd say his face is average.
Height and leg length also average.
Well, no matter how we look at him, he's average.
But just seeing him isn't convincing. Right?
Right.
Which is why we're taking you along on our date now.
So, Kyosuke, where are you taking us today?
Uh, well, let me see...
What?!
Darling isn't here?
No, he went out this morning with Akane.
Mm-hmm.
Oh... And after I went and got tickets to the concert Darling wanted to see...
I'm sorry.
But you know, I bet they're at the public pool since Oniichan...
...doesn't have any money.
I think so too!
This is all I've got left for the rest of the month.
Man! Why do I have to pay for everything?
Damn you, Akane!
Still, seen like this, she really is just an ordinary girl...
Darling!
Hi... Hikaru?!
Komatsu! Hatta!
You startled me! Man...
Kasuga, are you alone today?
If you are, you wanna join us?
What for?
Put on some suntan oil, get a good tan, get some good pictures...
...eat grilled squid, put on underwater goggles for deep pool observation...
...and then, "How 'bout some sunburn cream?"
With all this, we ought to meet lots of girls, don't you think?
Right, right, right.
Now just a minute...
Wow! Hey, Babe! Hang on a sec!
What're they doing here anyway, the jerks?
Kyosuke!
Wha... What's up, Akane?
Well? Are you convinced?
Naive, isn't she?
We still don't believe you.
What do you mean?!
I can't tell from just that whether he's really your boyfriend.
Right. You might've asked a cousin or neighborhood friend to come here...
C... Cousins couldn't do this!
Hey!
I know Akane's only acting, but it's getting pretty intense...
Then what's it gonna take?!
-WHAT?! -WHAT?!
Wh... What's this?
If you're really lovers, you'd be able to drink this soda together, right?
Oh, that's dirty!
Nobody does that anymore.
-A-ha! You ARE lying! Liars! Big fat... -A-ha! You ARE lying! Liars! Big fat...
Okay, we'll drink it! It's simple, after all!
Ready, Kyosuke? Here we go.
Uh, right.
Hikaru! Wh... What's she doing here?
Hold it!
Who's that girl?
Uh, uh... she's Kyosuke's...
Kyosuke's...? Kyosuke's...?
K... K... Kyosuke's kouhai. "Kouhai": A junior at school.
-"Kouhai," huh? -"Kouhai," huh?
Uh... Uh-oh... I forgot something important!
Hey... Hey, Kyosuke, you know what I'm talking about!
W... What?
Come on!
Hey, hold it, Akane!
Why the sudden rush?
My wallet! Yeah, my wallet's missing!
Your wallet?
Please find it!
Don't you remember where you left it?
I don't care where it is.
Huh?
Uh, I mean, I don't know where it is.
So, you go check the pool, okay?
I suppose I have no choice.
Take your time.
Good. And now...
Now where did Darling go?
Huh?
Darling!
Oh, Darling, I've been looking for you everywhere.
What's wrong, Darling?
Look, I got tickets to that concert you wanted to go to...
Cut it out.
Wha...?!
What's that Akane up to?
Yeah...
What did you just say, Darling?
Stop following me around!
Wha...?!
I'm fed up with you! You're annoying me!
N... no... no...!
Anyway, don't hang around me anymore, got that?
Y... You're terrible!
Hikaru!
Hey, Akane! I didn't find your wallet anywhere.
Huh? Oh, uh... yeah! I found it!
Man, be more careful, okay? By the way, did something happen to Hikaru?
Huh? Oh, yeah! I... I explained things, and got her to go home.
I thought she looked a little funny, though...
It's nothing... really. Look, Chie and Michi are waiting, so...
Uh, right.
I'm sorry, Hikaru.
Well, do you believe us now?
Hey! Answer me!
Wh... What do you think?
Well, I've shared drinks with my boyfriend before...
Did it taste good?
H... Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, I... I'm sorry.
I... I'm still not convinced!
Even if you're not lovers, you can still do this!
Then what WILL convince you?!
Well...
How about Twister? That's a little bit dirty...
Too easy!
Then how about "Balloon Carry?"
What?
You carry it without using your hands. Now that's exciting!
Hey! We're not putting on a New Year's comedy special here!
Then that's out?
Enough already! Kyosuke and I are lovers! Accept it!
-We don't! -We don't!
All right. In that case...
...I'll show you what you really want to see.
-What! -What!
We're all going to my house now. Got that?
-Uh, okay... -Uh, okay...
Oh, no. It's as if my Foreboding Dream is becoming reality...
What? Kasuga said that?!
Yes! He said I was a nuisance.
I see...
Madoka, am I really that much trouble?
I tried so hard to think of Darling, in my own way... and yet...
Hikaru? Don't worry, Hikaru. I'm sure Kasuga had a reason.
Do you really think so?
I'll talk to him about it tonight.
Yes, please.
So have some ice cocoa and calm down.
Okay...
What's he up to?
Hey... what is this "thing we really want to see?"
Come on, show us!
Don't be in such a hurry. The night is still young. Right, Kyosuke?
Huh? Oh...
I'm convinced now that taking on this role was a big mistake...
Hello, Kasuga residence.
Oh, Manami? It's Ayukawa.
Madoka? If it's Oniichan you want, he's at Akane's house.
I see...
"...am I really that much trouble?"
Say, Manami, where is Akane's house?
Hey, Akane, come on, show us...
I gotta leave soon... I got a date with my boyfriend...
Me too...
All right.
Kyosuke...?
Huh?
Let's go to bed.
-WHAT?! -WHAT?!
A... Akane?
Are you... serious?
Naturally. We are... lovers, after all.
Right, Kyosuke?
Uh... Huh?!
Th... That Akane... get some alcohol in her, and she goes overboard...
A... Akane... Hey!
-A... Akane...! -Akane!
Well... come on in.
B... but...
Don't embarrass me.
Th... that dream really WAS a premonition...
-A... Akane! -A... Akane!
From this point on, you can't come in.
Hey, you!
Are you serious?!
What are you talking about? You two said you wanted proof, didn't you?
So, I'll see you later.
A... Akane...!
W... What do we do?
Uh...
Mi... Michi...
Th... That sound...
Kyosuke... I'm hot...
Th... That's...
The real thing!
Here we are!
This is it, Madoka.
Thanks, Manami.
You're welcome but it doesn't look like our aunt or uncle are home tonight.
Oh.
Hey!
They forgot to lock the door.
Huh?
What are you doing there?
Where's Akane?
Kyosuke...!
Could... that be...
Akane and Oniichan?
Hey! Kasuga, what are you doing?
Kurumi! Manami! And Ayukawa, you too?
What're you doing here? What's going on?
The question is, what are YOU doing, Kasuga?
What do you mean, "what?"
I can't stand it...
-Huh? -Huh?
She had too much to drink.
It seems the most Akane could manage was to invite me into her room.
She tried so hard to keep up this act.
I probably have no right to say this, since I helped out with this lie...
...but I can't admire the way you two acted either.
I don't think it matters whether you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
And it's not something to be proud of, either.
What's important is how much you care about that person, isn't it?
What matters is whether you can find someone you can care for that much.
I feel sort of hollow.
Me, too...
When I get home, I'm going to write another fan letter to Tama. "Tama": a fairly off-the-wall band
I'm going to hug my teddy bear and go to sleep.
-Hey! Isn't your boyfriend waiting for you?! -Hey! Isn't your boyfriend waiting for you?!
But I'm surprised that you didn't go for the kill, Mr. Boyfriend.
D... Don't be ridiculous! I wouldn't do something like that!
I don't know, Kasuga. You seem to be a pretty good actor.
Ayukawa!
I swear...
As it happened...
...because of this, I was terrified, and couldn't do anything.
What the? He WAS your cousin!
Man, we bought the whole thing.
Don't be so proud! You also lied about having boyfriends!
-That makes three of us! -That makes three of us!
So, this means that none of us has a boyfriend after all, right?
Hey! Let's promise not to have any boyfriends unless we all do, okay?
-I promise! -I promise!
Oh, here come the girls of Hoshijo Girls' High School!
Which one do you like?
Who, me? Uh, anyone, anyone...
O... Okay, then, let's go!
-Hey, babes! -Hey, hey, hey!
-Eek! Akane! -Eek! Akane!
Hey, you two!
-Uh, yes? -Uh, yes?
If you have something to say, come out and say it!
-No, nothing! -No, nothing!
What's important is that you say it from the heart, right?
Akane and her friends seem to have their summer right in front of them.
And my summer...
Wh... What's this...?
Uh... Uh...
Darling!
Uh, yes?
If you drink this soda with me, I'll forgive you.
Huh?
Don't you want to?
Yes, but...
Make up your mind, please!
Come on! What's it going to be?
Uh, well...
It looks like my summer's going to be hot again this year.
One more chance, now; whisper something in my ear.
Why do your yesterdays fade and lose their twinkle?
Deep eyes the color of the ocean...
...turn toward the window and don't look back.
Oh, your yesterdays... you can't return to those days again.
In your apartment, I wrote a crimson love letter...
...with lipstick, on the bathroom mirror...
"Even now, I still love you."
Yes, once more, another yesterday.
