I met with the producer, Mr Shimizu.
- Hm? - You don't know him? He produced "Last Step".
He's the one who made that big hit movie.
These are poses and character design of the main character.
- It's alright if you just take a look. - Got it.
Moteuchi? I'm Rika Omiya. I'm a grade lower than you.
I remember! You're the girl who sang at the corner of the hallway during the school festival!
That's me! You said it was nice.
You said that I should let it hear to a wider audience.
It is my duty after all to be useful to you.
Ai Amano...
- Postpone? - It can't be helped.
Because he said that he wants to meet us as soon as possible.
What? What about our date?
But that was the day that we talked to go on a date.
- Our date. - We can do that any time.
Just who is that old man?
Don't call him that. Call him Mr Shimizu.
He once made a hit animated film.
A producer.
And it means that he acknowledged your drawings?
Hmm... More than my drawing, it's more like everyone's...
That's amazing!
I see. Sho's art will be known world wide!
That'll also make me happy!
You're exaggerating!
Anyway, Mr Shimizu will come here tomorrow so I'm counting on you.
Got-yeah!
The hell is that? That's not it. Once you get involved,
it'll become troublesome. So don't go out of your room, understood?
Huh? It's unusually untied.
- Thank you for making time on your busy schedule. - No, don't mention it. I actually wanted to see
myself what high school students are making.
The one who drew this character was you, Moteuchi, was it?
- Ah, yes. - Amazing. How did you thought of it?
Well, you see... Um...
Hm? Ai?
Hey!
I told you to stay in your room!
I didn't agreed even though you said that.
I'm sorry that she got in the way. Hey, come here!
- Why? Let me join you! - I'm sorry that you were in the middle of talking.
Ah, it's no problem.
Ah right. I have another phone call to make. Sorry.
Excuse me a bit.
Why the hell am I the only one being excluded?
It's now too late if you're gonna ask me for help...
Long time no see.
Don't you know me?
You're a guy from downtown?
I guess not.
You're a producer after all.
You don't remember?
25 years ago?
What? Have I met you before?
25 years ago?
Hmm... I don't have memories of the past.
Don't have memories?
Ah, I heard you're Sho's cousin?
- Huh? Ah, yep. - Sorry that I'm here all of a sudden.
I wanted to see Sho's untouched illustrations no matter what.
Ah, hey, how is it? Does Sho have talent?
- Wanna know? - Yeah.
He does. He does!
I see! I see, I see.
Yup.
Wait. Is it alright for you to not join us?
Sho said I shouldn't.
Why?
I wonder if Sho's still angry with me.
It's alright, it's alright.
Ah, tell him that I said it's alright for you to join us.
Come on, tell him.
- Ah, okay. - Yeah.
Then I guess, I'll go.

Making it perverted is not good, but I think making it sexy is okay.
Okay.
- Is there something else? - Let's see...
- What will you do with music? - Ah...
We haven't thought of it that far.
- But I guess we'll use free materials. - No. You mustn't.
You must not do something amateurs would usually do.
If you do that, you'll lose at the competition. You need originality.
Understood. We'll think about it.
What else?
- Listen, Furuya. - Okay.
Can you say that this is your original work
based on somebody else's opinion?
- No. - That's right.
That's why, you should think about it yourselves.
Yes Sir.
I'll be expecting from you.
Then, I'll take my leave.
- Thank you for everything. - Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Music...
It's true we haven't thought about it.
Sho, do you have any ideas?
Ah, I have none for now...
Of course...
Something original...
Ah! How about that girl?
- Huh? - That girl!
The girl who called out to you some days back in town.
Moteuchi?
It's been awhile.
- Ah. - Didn't she tell you how her songs were?
Ah... But it's about stuff she did in middle school...
And I don't know how to contact her.
Why don't you go to her school? You'll know with her uniform.
But even if I suddenly showed up...
Shall I go with you then?
Are you my parent? What would I say if I meet her?
You'll just politely explain.
It's okay, I'll just go with you.
- Huh? Who are you talking about? - Well, you see...
- Wait, was it during your middle school? - Forget it, it's embarrassing.
I should just go right?
Ah... Hello.
Everyone was really surprised when I mentioned about you.
It was widely talked about during middle school.
I didn't knew at all...
We've already disbanded a long time ago.
But you were really popular, right?
Your band named "Phase".
Kaoru was the only one who was amazing.
The songs he uploaded in the net that time
became popular that people asked who he was.
And then he made a solo debut.
He became a track maker that is in demand.
I'm sorry that I didn't know anything.
It's okay since it's a long time ago.
To be asked the same thing is something I kinda had enough...
"Why did you disband?"
"What kind of person is Kaoru?", "That's too bad."
I got tired of hearing them.
Even though I'm a different person...
I'm tired.
I see.
Why did you meet me today?
Ah... Well...
I just casually happen to pass by.
Hey, you greeted me some time back so I thought if you're just here.
You're really kind.
Huh?
It's for music, right?
I only have that if you wanted to meet me.
Ah, no...
I was a vocalist but for compositions...
I can only refer you to Kaoru...
I'm sorry. I'm the worst.
What?
I made you remember such sad things.
Please forget it. It's alright.
Bye. I'm really sorry.
Please hold on!
- Animation. - Yes.
All of us will enter the competition.
I see. I remember you were good at drawing.
What's that suddenly?
Everyone's work was displayed in the corridor in front of the art room before.
I liked to look at them that time.
Now that's embarrassing since mine was bad.
That's not true!
They were really lovely.
Thanks.
Anyway, I'll be going that way.
Ah... Okay. I'll just go and ask.
You don't have to force yourself, you know. You don't meet him anymore, right?
I want to be useful to you.
I mean... I want to be help in your work.
Goodbye.
He's late.
Long time no see. You look well.
You're amazing, Kaoru. I know your recent works.
Not at all. They just ask me to do whatever they want me to do.
It makes me happy that you came to see me.
Hello! Afro here.
Anyway, this is the fourth installment of Masakazu Afro's beautiful girl Tokiwa-so.
I will now discuss the long awaited "how to draw butts".
- If you please, Sir. - Follow me on how it's done.
The hell is this? I can't see anything.
Hm?
These words coming out of the screen.
They're in the way. I don't know which I should look.
Ah...
It didn't go well?
What?
Sorry... Did I do something unnecessary?
Ah... Well...
She heard everything about the situation but...
It all depends on us in the end.
What is it?
What happened?
It looks like Kaoru will be able to make songs for you.
- Huh? - Hm?
Alright... We did it, Ai! She said he can make songs!
- That's great! - Alright!
- Moteuchi. - That's great, Sho.
- Good job. - It still depends on him.
Let's tighten the mood.
She wanted to come along no matter what...
If I wasn't there, this wouldn't have happened, right?
- 'Morning, Ai. - 'Morning, Nanami.
- By becoming a member in our... - No!
My peace of mind will be broken...
Okay! Let's go then!
- Sho, lead the way. - Okay, it's over here.
- Ah, over there. - There?
It surely is a wonderful work.
I feel the urge to create music for it.
Thank you. That makes me really glad.
Ah, say thanks to Rika. It was her who introduced me to you.
- Thank you. - Thank you. - It's no problem.
Then we'll leave the music with a bang with you!
Quiet!
Sure, with a bang.
- See. I like your enthusiasm. - Ah, thanks.
Ah, I have one favor to ask in order to make a song.
I cannot make a song when I can't become certain of the image.
There's something I would like to ask for help.
- If it's anything we can do, we'll help. - Ah, thank you.
Well, excuse me for this but...
Can I go on a date with her for a day?
What?
With me?
Wait, Kaoru...
Ah, don't get the wrong idea. It's for creative input.
This design is just like her.
The screenplay also depicts the flow of the hearts of the boy and the girl.
If I spend time with her,
I will be able to make a more concrete image.
If I don't properly experience it in first hand,
I think I can't make convincing sounds.
- But, um... - Okay.
Huh?
Let's go. When? Now
What are you saying?
It's for him to make a song, right? Why not. Let's go.
It's obvious that you can't!
- Why not? - Moteuchi.
Um...
Why don't we call it a day for now? Having thinking it over...
Ah, if it's impossible, well... But this is my method.
It certainly is a bit aggressive. I understand why you're worried.
I can't say I'm worried...
What's with you? Are you jealous?
No, stop joking. I just don't know what Uncle would say about this.
It doesn't matter. Leave it to me.
Sho, dinner's ready.
What's with you? Are you still angry?
Are you sure that's fine for your first date?
I guess...
The truth is, I'd rather had my first one with you.
So it's fine whoever you go on a date with.
Fine?
No, it's not. I just want to be useful.
That's true.
It's your job to comfort people after all.
Sorry. I have no appetite.
What the hell? So that's why you came to see me after a long time.
Can you do this?
Didn't you come to hate a guy like me?
What you did was regretful.
If only listened to me and go out with me,
you could've made such good memories by now.
Do you really want that?
That high school animation club?
How silly.
Don't make fun of them. They're seriously doing them.
Then...
If you do anything I say for a day,
I'll do it.
How long do you intend to do such thing?
Then forget we talked about this.
Wait!
She's a cute girl. Sorry that I suddenly changed my mind.
I haven't forget about you either.
Sho, are you asleep?
Sorry for making you glum.
It's because I'm a defect.
I can't think of anything clever.
Sorry.
You're not.
You're not a defect.
Absolutely by no means.
I also said too much.
Sorry.
Okay.
Wait.
Don't look yet.
You can now look.
I'm going to wear this when it's really a date.
Don't worry, I won't wear it tomorrow.
I will really wear this on a real true date.
Okay?
Does it suit me?
Yeah.
Then spare it until then.
Why did you show it now? To top it off, to me?
Bye then, Sho. Good night.
Hm?

Just what is it? Geez!
Let's arrange a reasonable time.
We are also on a date.
Will you come to my house?
Everyone's out of the house today.
Be still, Ai.
Help me, Sho!
