Have you had nights when you can't fall asleep?
Didn't anyone's face appear in your mind?
Unforgettable memories and uncontrollable emotion.
Open the twelve doors named "bitter sweet feelings."
Before I shut my heart...
Sentimental Journey
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
When we were both little...
...we could understand each other without a word.
That was the time when...
...we could believe in angels.
When you told me that you would break up with me...
...I couldn't look at you.
Please, come and see me.
I want to see your smile.
Please, don't forget your kindness.
Before I shut my heart...
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
A Story of 12 Girls in 12 Cities
Where's Chie?
Sorry, she's late because of her part-time job.
Episode 2: Chie Matsuoka Unwritten Love Song
By the way, this place will be closed.
It's under redevelopment, isn't it?
This place will be demolished next March.
Studio fees are much higher in the Tenjin area.
Well, it may be time to leave here.
I like the view from here though.
Ryu.
Why don't we close the shutter?
It's getting cold.
She is so late.
Growing Bay Area Hakata Redevelopment Project
Quiet! Are you trying to break the staircase?
You're late!
Did your makeup take such a long time, leader?
Shut up.
Where are the lyrics?
I'll show you them later.
Are you ready?
OK?
I'm ready!
Yeah, let's get started!
Chie.
Oh, sorry.
So what do you think?
Not bad.
They are structured better than usual.
It's really you.
You don't write any love songs even at Christmas time.
Of course.
That's our pitch.
What are you talking about now...
No, you don't get it.
I meant, that's the only thing you can do.
You don't know when to shut up.
I finished a song, too.
Really?
You finished much quicker than usual.
It's only one song.
Here.
Oops. It's the wrong one.
It's this one.
Here you go.
Oh, okay.
They are one good looking item.
No, no...
She hasn't gotten over it yet.
It's been too long.
Stop fooling with me!
I don't want to hear his message.
Yeah, this is good.
This song suits the image.
Yeah?
Why don't we put six at the end?
Six...
Hmm, yeah, that works out.
Yeah...
Won't you write a couple more songs like this?
OK.
So, about the pink MD.
Is it for your girlfriend?
No way. I don't have one.
I'm taking the university entrance exams soon.
Thank you.
Miss Chie...
It's a bit early but here's a Christmas gift.
Thank you.
Me too.
Oh, thank you.
Hey.
We are taking off.
See you.
Bye, Shingo.
Bye Bye.
See you later, Ryu.
Oh, well. After all, we're the diva band of Fukuoka.
What's that?
They gave us the nickname.
If you'd only write love songs...
...straight girls would become fans.
Then, I may get a present or two from the fans.
You may be right.
Are you gonna change your mind?
What?
Not in a million years. You fool!
Huh?
Hey, don't do this to me!
Why do I have to change my mind?
Achoo!
Hey, that was quicker than I thought.
I missed the last bus.
I see.
You cold blooded devil. Monster!
He never learns his lesson.
Well.
What?
If you're a woman, you'd better be embarrassed a bit.
No, not this.
The second song...
There it is.
Then, where's the third song...
This one. Huh?
Hello?
Ry-Ryu?
Hey, Chie.
Are you sleeping?
I just got out of the bath and I'm getting dressed.
So what's up?
Ah, can we meet up tomorrow?
Hmm, tomorrow.
I just want to figure out the rest of the songs for the gig.
Sorry.
Tomorrow is not good.
OK, then...
Will you come to the studio a little earlier, the day after tomorrow?
OK. No problem.
Good. So like an hour before practice.
Sounds fine.
So good night.
Good night.
The next song is the first song I ever wrote. It's called...
..."You're Like the Wind."
One, two, three, four...
What?
Why?
Huh!
Wait!
Why?
Why are you doing this?
No!
Don't leave me without saying anything!
I know I'll never fall in love again.
Well...
I'm going to eat spicy curry in Tenjin to refresh my mood.
Mild, Medium Spicy, Spicy, Ultra Spicy, Hell Curry
Oh.
Phew. I shouldn't have eaten the ultra spicy curry.
Sorry. Did you wait long?
It was crazy on the way here. I finally made it...
What am I doing? I don't have to...
Wow, what a mess!
Hey. Look at you. You asked me to come here earlier.
Sorry.
They'll come here soon.
It took a long time to put on special rainy day makeup. I'm kidding.
Hey, besides that.
What?
I saw you at Elgala yesterday.
What?
Who is she?
She is pretty, isn't she?
She's not what you think.
Oh, don't be shy. I don't mind.
But if you want to keep it secret from the others...
I said it's not what you think.
R-Ryu...
Keep your nose out of my business!
Why?
Ah?
These kinds of things happen sometimes.
I've never done anything like this before.
Everybody has a few secrets.
I thought I knew everything about everyone...
...as band leader.
You're a fool.
Am I a fool?
Yes, you are.
Do you know whom I have a crush on?
What?
It's Shingo.
Sh-Shingo?
See, you didn't know!
How long have we been friends?
Shingo.
Knock! At least you should knock on the door.
I'll apologize to Ryu tomorrow.
Sorry for making you guys worry.
Never mind about us.
We're bonded with a common interest in music.
I shouldn't be so nosey about the members' private lives.
So I'll apologize. See ya.
Chie.
Hey.
I just heard from Shingo.
I'm fine.
Different people have their own ideas.
I know that. I don't mind at all.
Really?
See you later.
O-Okay.
Does she really understand it?
Oh, it's freezing.
Is it going to snow?
Sorry.
I'm late.
This is not bad.
Thank you.
Our producers and mixers also like this song.
Really?
Can I take your order?
Amm, can I have a few more minutes?
So, do you want to stick with mellow songs after you make your debut?
Huh?
That's right.
I didn't expect that you wanted to play love songs.
I thought you liked hardcore rock & roll.
So I never imagined that you'd like mellow love songs.
Because our leader doesn't write them.
But all the other members are interested in playing love songs.
If only you would write love songs.
Everybody has a few secrets.
Different people have their own ideas.
Love songs...
So you want to be a professional?
Yes.
Our company's rock music CD sales are so strong.
We try to focus on the rock music department.
After you sign with us, you'll never regret it.
Let me hear your answer soon.
It's a nice song.
So tell me if you want to write a song like this...
Is it going to accumulate?
Ah.
You know. When Chie comes, I...
Huh!
Sorry. I didn't understand anything.
Chie?
Let me quit the band.
Chie!
So stupid...
I must be so stupid...
Chie!
Why do we have to be members of the school festival committee?
What?
The band contest?
Softball Games Costume Contest, Band Contest...
A band? It's not a bad idea.
This plan may be successful.
What did you want to tell me at that moment?
It's time to take your temperature now. Please...
Good morning.
Sleeping beauty.
I...
Your injury is just a minor one.
Don't be so silly.
Because...
Because what?
You guys have been just pretending...
What?
The truth is you want to play love song stuff.
But I didn't allow myself to do that.
Chie.
I wanted you guys to tell me that you didn't want to do that.
Nobody supported my ideas, you guys were just pretending.
That's enough!
Yuichi.
Sorry.
Ryu likes...
What?
...your song.
But he wants to do other stuff, too.
Although he has his other business, he still likes your song.
That's why he couldn't tell you.
Ryu rescued you from the cold sea, Chie.
Now his finger has been broken though.
His finger...
No, you didn't get it!
Would you go to Nakasu?
Excuse me!
Can you go to Tenjin Oyafuko Street?
Chie.
Ryu.
Chie.
Sorry.
I did the worst thing to you.
What?
I broke your dream.
What do you mean?
But your finger...
Oh.
But just my right hand pinky is broken. So it's no big deal.
Really?
Yeah.
Chie?
He-Hey?
That's good.
Hey, hey, Chie!
Chie!
Thank you for coming to the show tonight.
First I've got to make an announcement.
Ryu plays the lead guitar.
He's gonna make a professional debut soon.
"A Love Song Just Like the Wind"?
These lyrics are the same one from the school festival.
That means...
The first song of the night is...
...the first love song from us.
This song made Ryu professional.
So the lyrics are my present.
Yeah!
We haven't practiced this, but we can do this. Right?
Don't you know who wrote this song?
Oh, Chie.
Finally, it seems that the words he tried to tell you back then reached you.
All right.
Let's get started!
One, two!
One, two, three, four!
On a holiday with lots of sunshine...
Let's go to the beach like we used to do.
The road that seems to continue into the sky...
Back then, I wasn't afraid of losing.
The ocean breeze is passing by and whispering to us.
Just keep on smiling Let's sing with a smile...
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes.
Just keep on smiling, be yourself and have a glow to your face.
Like a flower blooming on your face.
Like the wind, I started traveling again...
Riding on the train from north to south...
The scenery from the window tells me that it's already the end of summer.
