We can't let anybody

tell us that when we are no longer children,

that we become adults!

We don't stop being children at heart.

Where are we really going to be?

Are things really going to be okay like this?

As long as we stay ourselves,

a little bit of us remains...

Graduating class of 2004, Shiba High School...

And, cut!

How was that?

Uh... one more take?

The last part?

Tomayashi, I have to go...

Hold on a sec

The last part?

Where she says "...2004, Shiba High School,"

there isn't much "impact"

Impact? Impact huh? Well how should we do this?

Well, I guess the first take was okay...

Alright?

Good enough?

Alright then, it's okay!

Is it really okay like that?

If you like, we can do it once more...

Once more? We can go once more.

Maybe it's best to redo it.

Umm... so what am I doing?

What do I have to do?

Let's do that last line once more, please.

Okay...

OK, let's do this.

Like before... ready?

2004, Shiba High School...

CUT!

"Linda Linda Linda"

Masami!

Is Kei here?

Probably in the club room

She's been holed up in there all morning,

she's not listening to anyone

Coming with me?

Umm... not now, I'll see you later

Kyoko

Where's Kei?

Masami said she's in the club room

How are you? Good?

I'm taking pills for the pain

I'm headed for the usual spot.

Wanna come with?

No, it's better if I don't.

What happened before... it's ok

Those two are too irritable

You know, they're touchy

Anyway... I'll see you later.

Good day

Rinko

There's still a bit more left to do.

I'll print the rest for tomorrow

Hmm... maybe we should make flyers and distribute them

Flyers?

It's alright, I'll take care of the rest.

Are you stressed?

No

Really, you should have more fun

Well... I'm heading back to the classroom.

If you need me, call, ok?

Okay

So, why was Imamura's injury the reason for their fight?

I told you, I don't know

Did you ask them?

I tried, but it was useless

They didn't say?

Not a word.

Kei Ichibana and Rinko Muramoto are so alike

They're made from the same mold

Is it okay? Imamura's injury, I mean.

From what I've heard, she dislocated her finger

playing basketball in gym class

The middle finger; it might be broken or just sprained.

So they asked me to sub

For what?

For the band

Rinko asked me to play guitar...

But yesterday she said it doesn't matter anymore

I asked 'why? ' but she won't answer.

And the others... do they know?

They aren't saying.

But they probably just don't know...

But isn't it your job as organizer to resolve problems?

Why don't you ask them personally what's going on?

Wouldn't that be better?

Hi

Seen Kei?

She was here a second ago. She just left

Is it true that Kei and Rinko had a fight?

Who'd you hear that from?

Everybody knows

Don't go telling everyone... leave them be

Yeah I know... always the same story!

Well, yeah... that's how they are

Do you already know everything?

Who started it?

According to you, who started it?

I don't know, Rinko maybe?

And for Moe...

It wasn't nice that she already had a replacement

right after she got hurt

I don't think Kei got pissed just for that...

...just for that?!?

I thought the same thing...

Kei hates Rinko

That's not true!

I never said that

Well, anyway...

So, what's gonna happen?

The band... you still going to make it?

Hey Yamada

Is Tachibana there?

Nope

Kei.

Told you that we'd find her here

Didn't you hear the PA? The teacher's calling you.

Why?

You need to speak with him

Abe wants to know what's up with the band

Oh right... what are you gonna do?

If you're thinking of quitting, we need to

reschedule everything

So?

I'll take that as a no.

Alright?

I'll do it!

I'll do it!

I'll play guitar!

Are you going to do it?

You've gotten quick at reading comics,

you know, Son?!

Mh!

Because it's a comic I chose myself

When there are great stories, you read more quickly

So it's a quality of mine, right?!?

Mh!

In that volume, Yuki first gets kissed

and then there's a stabbing

Don't ruin it

Don't worry, it's interesting

How about Shiina Ringo?

No, it's too difficult

And Puffy?

Are you kidding?

So you'll sing?

Yeah...

Oh... what should we do...

What are you doing?

What is that?

They were in the cabinet,

Princess Princess, the Boom

Bowy...

I don't recognize these bands

It's all old music

Oh, look, there are unicorns on this one

The Tamio band?

Mh, the Tamio band

How do you know them?

Oh, Jitarin Jin

That one you bought for me

is an earring in the shape of an

upside-down giraffe

What? A giraffe?

Turned upside down...

One more time, the giraffe is...

Upside down...

That can't be real.

Where is it?

Here...

Is it that ridiculous?

That isn't it!

Mh!

I want to be beautiful

Because there is a beauty

that can't be photographed

If one day we meet

and speak to one another

I hope you will realize the significance of love

Alright.

The first person to pass by there

will be our lead singer

Where?

Over there

What are you talking about?

You're singing then!

No more discussion.

You do it, Kei

I can't do both at once

Come on, it's not the first time

No really, I can't do it

What do you think about Moe?

Moe?

Her voice isn't like The Blue Hearts

But it could be interesting...

I want it to be a girl

What are you guys doing?

Do we have to cancel everything?

I'll tell Abe

I already told him,

You already spoke to him?

Yeah, we're making the band...

We were thinking of doing The Blue Hearts

Just you three?

We're looking for our lead singer

You wanna sing for us Rinko?

Come on

Then let's do this again

Even if Moe's not here...

It's the Blue Hearts or nothing

I couldn't think of doing this without Moe

Alright, we'll find someone who wants to sing

Perfect

You don't want to?

It's not that I don't want to, but...

What sense is there?!?

There doesn't have to be a reason

Son, Son, do you want to be part of the band?

Yes

You want to be the singer?

Yeah

We're singing The Blue Hearts

Okay

Is that ok, or no?

That's fine

Good luck then

Thanks

This is no good!

No, no! I can't!

Why not?

She can always learn Japanese

I mean, can she memorize this in time?

The same goes for us

I think that...

we should ask her first if she wants to do this

You're exactly right!

But Son responded about it,

without really understanding...

We're all caught up in this

Kei you're really irresponsible!

I said sorry

Then... if Son says she doesn't want to sing...

Fine, then I'll do it

Son, what do you say? Can you do it?

What's wrong?

Are you ok?

Hey, what's going on?

You ok?

What?

Son, you're crying

Thank you

Here

Thanks

Do you always take this bus?

Hmm?

When you come to school...

You take this bus?

Mh

Then maybe we've already seen each other

Did I see you?

No.

I've seen you

Oh... me, you've seen me?

Mh

Yeah...

I never thought about it

Since when?

Actually, I don't play guitar!
