Kanade!
What's up?
We're off duty today,
so I wanted to do something with my bike.
You just got your license, right?
That's the first time I've heard you sing outside of work.
Kanade...
It was pretty good.
Why don't you hum me a song one day?
Kanade...
Humming isn't something you do for others.
I got it.
So long.
All finished.
Here are the results of your checkup.
Looks like your injuries have fully healed.
I'm back, Kanade.
Listen to my song
Can you hear me?
Please tell me
I look at the sky, devoid of answers and made to deceive
fly far away
Words are not enough
so accept all I am
I can't control myself... nor do I want to
I've always known that
With my song I will bring about
the beginning of eternity for you
So smile
I will embrace you tighter than anyone else
I will never let you go
Yes, never
I hope that you're the one to shake
my heart in doubt
That would start something greater
Ever since we were born, we looked for our meeting
I think of you when the wind howls around me at night
and the song of the life we lived together blasts through the heavens
The Sentinel's Song
Who'd have thought there'd be a secret base right under our school?
Tsubasa!
Oh, Tachibana.
Is this the girl who wanted to help out?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kohinata Miku.
She's my best friend.
I know Tachibana will be a huge pain as always, but please help her as best you can.
She's painful by nature, so I've come to accept that.
Hey, what are you talking about?
Looks like those two have already found something they can agree on.
Don't dodge the question!
Did you change yourself? Or did someone change you?
It's kinda weird being down here with Miku, though.
The Commander pulled some strings to get you registered as an external collaborator with the second branch.
But you may still run into a few inconveniences.
It's all been explained to me.
I understand the full implications of my work here.
Please, don't worry about me.
That reminds me, where's the Commander?
We were just looking for him as well...
On Assignment
Kazanari Genjuro
To Tatsuya
Emergency Repayment
Well, isn't that lovely?
I love a bit of girl talk.
While your interests are no concern of mine,
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't act like I wasn't even here.
So you're into that kind of thing as well, Ms. Ryouko?
Of course!
Why, just listen to my epic tale of love, and you won't get a wink of sleep that night.
Sounds more like a horror story...
Whoa, Ms. Ryouko's epic tale of love?
It must be an amazing fairy tale with white knights and princesses and...
All right.
It's a story from long ago.
If you knew the depths of my passion back then, it would shock you.
Count me surprised.
I always thought you'd be too busy with your research to look for love.
You know what they say - life is short, so make the most of it!
And the power of a girl's romance is truly amazing!
A girl, huh?
Back in the day, the reason I started researching the relics was...
Was what?
Oh but, you know, there's just too much going on to stop and chat here...
But you were the one who came here...
Ogawa!
In the end, it just comes down to the purity of your heart!
Ogawa! Are you all right? Ogawa! Ogawa!
You girls need to go out there and begin an epic tale of your own!
Well then, bye-bye!
And we didn't even get to hear her story...
It's tough dragging secrets out of that one.
But you better believe I'll get it out of her one day!
That wasn't like me at all...
Did I change myself? Or did someone change me?
The Commander still isn't back.
I should report the results from my checkup to him.
We should get going soon...
Are you back on assignment already?
I'm taking it little by little.
Right now, I'm just trying to get used to it again.
Then, I guess your schedule won't be too busy yet?
Let's go on a date!
A date?
It's me.
I didn't bring anyone else.
Just me on my own.
I'm the only one left to take care of you.
How did you find me?
I used to work in the secret service, so I'm used to it.
It's food.
It's not poisoned.
The violinist Yukine Masanori and his wife, the singer Sonette-Yomi Yukine
were helping refugees as members of an NGO,
when they were caught in a battle and died eight years ago.
Their only daughter went missing as well.
Then the UN Army's Valverde intervention changed the situation.
That girl was saved from the claws of a local group,
and was transported to Japan.
I see you've done your homework.
But I'm tired of dealing with schemers like you.
At the time, we had been looking for Matches all over the world of professional music,
so I volunteered to take care of that lonely girl.
How nice of you.
But that girl vanished the moment she arrived in Japan.
We panicked.
The second branch tried to assist with the investigation,
but most of the people who were involved died
or even worse, went missing, and the case was closed.
What do you want from me?
I want to help you.
It's an adult's duty to finish what he starts.
An adult's duty?
I never asked for that! And none of you adults ever helped me before!
What am I doing?
Where could those girls be?
Sorry, Tsubasa!
You're late!
Sorry!
I should have expected it, but Hibiki overslept again.
Don't waste time. Let's hurry.
Looks like she was really looking forward to it.
I just want to get back the time we lost because a certain someone was late!
Now that's more like her.
Just you watch, Tsubasa! I'm gonna get the one you want!
That would be nice, but aren't you getting a bit too into these games?
Do you have to yell like that?
This machine is rigged!
I think I'm cursed.
If the machine's already broken then it's no problem if I damage it further, right?
I'll just summon my Symphogear...
Hey, let's sort this out peacefully!
Maybe this anger will finally summon my armed gear!
Don't yell so much!
If you want to scream your lungs out, I know just the place!
Amazing! This is just amazing!
We're going to sing karaoke with a real pop star!
A Bucketful of Love
Agematsu Noriyasu
Composer Lyrics
I always wanted to try singing something like this one day.
She performs...
What have you done to my lips?
You showed me the taste of sin
You're a wicked man indeed
But if you should ever betray me
She's so cool!
I'll cut you to pieces
with hatred itself as my sword...
Tsubasa!
How do you two have so much energy?
You just tire too easily!
It's all unusual for her.
I am but a sentinel, watching over the field of battle.
Today, I felt like I saw a whole new world I'd never known.
That's not true!
Tachibana, what are you doing?!
Look, that's the park where we met today!
Everywhere we've been, and everywhere we haven't... That's the world you know!
It's the world you fought to protect.
So, don't say that you don't know it.
I think there is something waiting for us beyond all the fighting.
I fought believing in that, and now I know for sure.
I see. So this is the world Kanade saw.
Huh? You're back on stage?
The festival is only ten days from now, but I made them fit me into the lineup.
I see!
It's kind of like a replacement show for the one that got canceled when I was hospitalized.
Tsubasa, is this...
That arena holds some painful memories for you too, Tachibana.
Thank you, Tsubasa!
Hibiki?
They may be painful, but I'll always overcome the past.
Right, Tsubasa?
Let's overcome the past together.
The rehearsal went pretty well.
It's Tony Glazer!
He's the producer for Metro Music. He was the one who offered to bring you onto the international stage.
Your managers wouldn't agree to my offer,
so I came to negotiate with you directly.
Mr. Glazer, we should discuss this through official channels...
Tsubasa?
Can I have some time to think?
So, you are reconsidering?
Very well. I look forward to your answer.
Not to mention tonight's show.
Even though I got a free ticket, I'm gonna be late...
This is Hibiki, reporting in.
We detected signs that the Noise are emerging.
I'll get in touch with Tsubasa.
Commander!
What is it?
Let me handle it alone.
I want to let Tsubasa fight her own battle tonight.
I want to let her sing that show to the end.
Please!
Can you do it?
Yes!
This feels like déjà vu
Platonic and brilliant
I wish you could understand
these memories
Gravity can't hold us down
no matter how hard it tries
Find the love in our hearts
We should slip out of
all the sin that binds us
Now we're even!
Promise, please, my star
Now that we set out on our journey,
be the wind singing under my wings
Then let us begin our symphony
Our legend starts from this moment
This life full of light is
Synchronicity
Let's bring about an amazing miracle
Something so great it would shake the world
Please believe that
this is a story of possibilities
Believe, my rose
Then let us begin our symphony
Our legend starts from this moment
This life full of light is
Synchronicity
Let's bring about an amazing miracle
Something so great it would shake the world
Please believe that
this is a story of possibilities
Believe, my rose
Thank you!
It was wonderful to once again be able to put all I have into my song!
It's been too long since I felt this way. I almost forgot what it was like.
But now I remember how much I love to sing!
I love to sing for everyone who comes to hear me!
You may have heard that I received an offer to sing overseas.
I once wasn't sure why I even sang at all...
But now I know that I want my songs to reach as many people as possible!
Even if they don't understand the words, if there's something I can convey with my songs,
I want to sing to all the people of the world!
I kept on singing believing that my songs could help others,
but from now on, I want to sing for myself as well.
I love singing so much!
This is the one thing I want for myself, so please hear me out.
Please allow me this.
Of course they'll allow you.
Thank you!
Mr. Glazer!
You?
If you'll excuse me, I must be off.
Things are going to be pretty hectic from now on.
Please take care of Kazanari Tsubasa's dream!
She's the enemy!
Why did I help her?
Dammit!
Here we are, where I used to belong, but
when I turn around, only the wind is with me
Don't let me down, don't make me confused
I will drown in despair
The sky from here is like a nightmare
and it comes to chase me
Dreams and reason and all my feelings
are once more erased
I can't wait for the end to these sad days
Lost and deep in my agony
I still wish to try to win
Although my hands are covered in wounds
they hold a little star that will never die
This light that fell from the heavens
shines for me faintly even now
I will reach out to others no matter how often I have to
although I can't imagine
how mere faith could ever be a strength
Shine for me, shooting star!
