Suzuka (2005–2006): Season 1, Episode 7 - Ketsui - full transcript

Your profile looking up
towards the blue sky

The stopped spiral of time

I'm always stubborn
and hiding my feelings

I ache for you so much
(I pine for you so much) that it hurts

I'm not actually that strong

In truth, I become afraid
about the distance between us two

I want you to touch my heart

If I can still reach the goal
taking the long way around

Start line

A story that unravels the heart

I'll say goodbye to tears
and walk towards the future



Because I can go with the kindness
I found clasped to my heart

Please, just for now,
stay the way you are

Hey, Yamato! The bath water is lukewarm!

Hey, I know you're there, right?

Answer me now!

Hey! Hey!

Geez...

Let's go. The night parade
may be going on...

O-Okay.

I... like you, Asahina.

Huh?

Will you go out with me?

Are you... serious?

I'm sorry...



It won't be the same between us
since I told her my feelings...

Yamato.

Aren't you going home?

Uh... Yeah...

Are you free today?

Huh? Why?

Well, I'm getting together
with some girls,

but there aren't enough people.

How does that sound to you?

Don't worry. They're all pretty girls.
You just have to make an effort...

Sorry.

Huh?

I'm sorry...

That's okay.

Well, just let me know
if you change your mind.

I know many cute girls...

Okay.

Well now... what should I do?

Why did I say something like that...

Mom, what about Suzuka?

She ate with her friends
on the way from club practice.

Oh...

Hey, Yamato, do you still
remember our promises?

Promises?

Right... When I was a little girl,

you said you would marry me
when I grow up.

I do recall you saying that.

Was that when you were in kindergarten?

That's right!

Oh, way back then?

I think I forced myself to agree.

Therefore...

Don't worry. If you're not popular
with girls, I'll be your wife.

Huh?

Why are you suddenly
saying that now, Miho?

No reason. I just wanted to say it...

I see.

She knows I was turned down...

Yamato, I have to change
my bride's dress at least 10 times.

Oh, if so, we'd better start saving money.

Exactly, Mom. Please!

Okay, okay.

Even Miho is trying to cheer me up.

I feel very embarrassed...

Isn't Asahina going to
have dinner with us anymore?

Oh?

A-Asahina.

I guess it's hard to talk to me...

Shoot, I feel like I'm gonna cry again.

I'll just turn in.

It couldn't be...

Asahina! I'm all right about...

Good evening! We're back again!

Go home!

Hey, you're so cold.

Did you have such a tough time...

...having your heart broken by Suzuka?

H-How do you know?

I can tell just looking at you!

--There, there, there...
--Hey, I said go home!

So, I came here to see how you're doing...

And as I expected, you look terrible...

Stop it, you nasty woman!

Hey, Yamato, let's celebrate
your heartbreak and have a party!

Join us, Megumi!

M-Megumi?

Poor... Yamato...

Huh?

All right. Let me take
good care of you tonight.

M-Megumi... I can't breathe... Argh...

What?

Everyone wants to dump me
because they're tired of my boobs!

Geez! What idiots!

Men are always like that...

Boy, I feel like crying...

Hey, let's drink!

Oh? Megumi is sleeping now.

How boring.

Hey, get over it!

You're a real sissy!

Shut up!

I'd dump a guy who talked
too much and was irresponsible.

Listen, you're just too dull.

Don't you know the difference between

a "sweet man" and a "submissive man"?

Geez, I can't stand it.

I hate wishy-washy guys.

I'm going to have a drink outside.

Let's see...

Crazy! What are you doing?

What are you really doing?!

Yuka!

Are you surprised?

Man, stop acting like a child.

Hey, come over here and cool off.

And bring my booze!

Okay, okay.

This is the perfect spot to have a drink.

You're lucky, Yuka. You always
seem to be enjoying yourself.

Huh? What does that mean?

I wouldn't have told her
if I knew I'd suffer this much...

Humph... You sound like you're
the only one having a hard time...

You think it's better to say nothing

and watch Suzuka and
the other guy go out together?

That's even... worse...

I see... We're both wounded pretty badly.

What?

Well... I've really liked
the guy since I was in 9th grade...

But I confessed my feelings
for him and got shot down.

Really? That happened to you, Yuka?

At the time, I was really a simple girl,

and couldn't say what I was thinking...

You're kidding! You were a simple girl?

Don't joke around like that.

But it's true.

Wow! You're right.

But why do you keep this picture?

Well, half as a joke, and the
other half is to encourage myself.

It just reminds me how I was back then...

After all, I couldn't say anything
to him in all my school years.

So, I decided that when I started college

that I'd try to dress nicer
and be confident in myself,

then I could share
my feelings to him again.

Although I confessed again
and again, it never worked...

Again and again?

You didn't give up after you got shot down?

I couldn't stop because I liked him.

And he left for the United States
after transferring...

...I tried to give him up,
but I couldn't...

I can't get him out of my mind...

Come on, why are you
getting down on yourself...

Well, I think we're really similar...

Similar?

Give me a break! I'm not a wimp like you!

I'll become a more attractive woman,
and will win him over someday!

Yuka...

Well, I guess I drank a little too much...

I've never told anyone
this silly story except you.

I'll kill you if you
tell anybody, got that?

Okay. I won't.

I thought it was over
after one heartbreak...

When I came to Tokyo,
or started high school...

I expected changes in my life, but...

...nothing will happen if I just wait!

I like Asahina!

Huh?

I'll never give up!

Oh, he seems to be a bit
of a strong man, all of sudden.

The idiot!

If nothing will change if I just wait...

...then I'll change things myself...

"Asahiyu"

Asahina!

Yo! Good morning!

G-good morning.

It's a nice day today!

--Are you going to morning practice?
--Yeah...

Well, I'm all right about it.

Huh?

Your answer to my declaration.

Umm... yeah...

So, can we eat together like we did before?

Yeah...

Ah, sorry... I...

I know, you don't want to be late.

See you in the classroom.

Okay.

Track and field club...

Good morning, Akitsuki.

Good morning.

You're... from the track and field club...

I'm Miyamoto.

I'm wondering if you thought
about my offer the other day...

Let me ask you again.

Could you join our club, Akitsuki?

Huh?

You have the talent.

You have such fast legs, and it would
be a waste if you didn't use them.

You can answer me whenever
you like, just think about it.

O-Okay.

Huh? You want to join track and field?

Yeah.

Why are you saying that all of a sudden?

I don't get what you're thinking.

Well, if I joined, I'd have
more chances to be with Asahina.

That might be true, but...

I want to be with Asahina as much as I can.

Be with her? I don't think
that would be the case.

What are you guys talking about?

Ah, Suzuka. Well...

Asahina, I'll join
the track and field club.

What?

You know, I want to be
with you as much as possible...

Are you serious?

Huh?

I'm asking if you're serious.

Yeah.

Our club is not for people to have fun.

We all work very hard to improve our marks
by one second, by one centimeter.

Yamato, do you think you do that?

Well... I think... I probably can...

--Probably?
--Umm...

What do you mean "probably"?

If you can't do it, you'll quit then?

I'd be very annoyed if you joined
with that kind of callous attitude!

Oh, boy...

She didn't have to get mad that much...

I guess you went a little bit too far.

If something goes wrong,
you'll be considered a stalker.

How?

Stalkers are called stalkers because
they don't realize what they're doing.

I thought we had a
good relationship back...

Well, that was your fault.

Why?

Because it's obvious that you have
ulterior motives for joining track and field.

Am I wrong?

Well...

Suzuka got mad because
she's serious about sports.

If you joined, you'd just bother
the others because you're irresponsible.

It's enough to make her upset, I guess.

I-I'm not irresponsible.

Oh yeah?

I hate to tell you this, but everyone
thinks you never follow up on your words.

I don't think you'll do well in the club
because you've been so irresponsible.

Anyway, I think it's better
if you apologize to Suzuka.

If not, you'll really lose your chance.

Chance...

Akitsuki!

Ah, Honoka...

Huh? The track and field club?

Yeah.

Why all of a sudden?

Umm... well...

But Asahina and Yasunobu discouraged me

because they said I was irresponsible.

I see...

I think you had better not join as well.

Because...

I'll see you less and less.

...because the track and field club's
practices look very tough...

...and you'll get tired, I think.

Yeah, you're right.

Maybe it's better not to join...

Yeah, I think so.

Right...

I don't know how hard
track and field club is...

I should apologize
to Asahina very soon...

"Asahiyu"

It's harder to talk to her now
than when I was rejected.

Suzuka, would you like
to have another bowl?

No, thanks. I had enough.

Hey, Asahina.

What?

N-Nothing...

Thanks for dinner.

What?

You haven't apologized to her yet?

Yeah...

The longer you wait with things
like this, the harder it gets.

It's better if you apologize
as soon as possible.

I can't help it.

I just haven't done it yet.

You're really hopeless...

Then I'll go with you.

Huh?

I kind of expected something
like this to happen.

The track and field club will have
a meeting after school today, Yamato.

"Meeting room"

Come in.

Excuse me.

Oh? You're really early.

Huh?

The meeting starts at 3:30... I think...

Right.

It's unusual that you'd mix up the time...

What are you looking at?

About that guy...

I found out something interesting
about the relay race at his junior high

and why his team ended up in last place.

I can't believe someone
kept a record of the race.

It says, "Although the team finished last,

the catching up by the anchor
was extraordinary."

Is that right...

Asahina, he should do track and field.

Don't you think so?

I don't think so.

Huh?

What? Did you guys have a fight?

It's not like that.

I see...

Come in.

We're coming in.

Hattori...

...and Yamato.

Hi, Akitsuki.

Have you decided about joining
the track and field club?

No, no. He's not here for that.

He needs to talk to Suzuka.

Me?

Come on.

Y-Yeah...

Asahina, I...

Huh?

Actually, never mind...

Miyamoto-Sempai.

Huh?

I don't know how hard
the track and field club is...

...but I want to be with Asahina.

I'll join the track and field club!

Huh?

What!

Huh?!

I'll become the wind
on the green field

Right now, I'll just...

Get a little "reckless"
and "fired up" and speed up

Let's go

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

Living recklessly like this
isn't altogether bad, either

Something'll happen,
I have this feeling

Day after day
of getting covered in bruises

Some days, I feel my "limit", though...

I'll become the wind
on the green field

I'll run right through the moment

The shapes of things change,
it's just the way it is

You can't stop it...

A little "stubborn" and "mischievous"

"Competitive"

That spirit

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

She's a scholarship student
for the track and field club...

...and is admired by everyone.

She even trains on her own
after those hard club practices.

I feel like the more I get close to her,

the more I feel like
I'm slipping away from her...
