Thank you for shopping with us.
Thank you for...
They have it, Jun. This is the kind of tea they wanted, right?
Let's go with that for now. Oh, and we need sugar, too.
Jun, get us a basket.
Sure.
Excuse me. Sure.
Excuse me. We also need toothpicks, right?
Oh, thank you for shopping with us. We also need toothpicks, right?
We need these, please.
Sure thing.
We need a receipt for this, please.
Make it out to Sakuragaoka Girls' High School, Class 2-1.
Oh, and under "Comments," put "Tea for mock coffee shop."
I love you all!
This Miracle Sing Time ru-la-la continues in fits and starts
Sing, sing, that's the ultimate way to express your love
Even if the melody is clunky and the lyrics are dodgy
Sing out best of my soul
What should we do? We can't keep up
With this schedule that's being decided for us automatically
Dreams unlimited, the things we want are pouring and dash out into the hall to chill
If my manners are bad, sorry!
But don't judge this book by its cover
Totally hooked on playing - sparkle!
Could this be what youth is all about?
Ever ever... Forever Shine.
I really love you guys!
Ramp up the energy, ru-la-la Powerful Gig Time
The heart, the heart is a genius to look for excitement
Even if people go, "Wha?", even if I make one mistake after another
I want to unleash the bravery that's bubbling up inside me
The tremolo attacks, the flam responds
So what? So what? What's wrong with being hyper?
Being happy always lets you feel the moment
Live on, girls! By your bare instincts
Big love, big love, thank you all for the big love
We'll sing, we'll sing, we'll sing again all day today with all our hearts
Sakura High School Festival
Do you think we should've bought more milk while we were there?
We should probably wait until we run out again.
I can't believe how hectic today is...
The first day is always that way. Besides, that's what makes it fun.
What's up?
Is the Light Music Club show tomorrow gonna go okay?
Oh, sorry about that. Is the Light Music Club show tomorrow gonna go okay?
Let's get back to the classroom. Is the Light Music Club show tomorrow gonna go okay?
Let's get back to the classroom.
Romeo and Juliet Let's get back to the classroom.
Romeo and Juliet
#19: Romeo & Juliet!
The paint is peeling!
That should be enough. I think this area here is the real problem.
Hey, where did the prop dagger go?
Romeo!
Um, my line...
You broke my concentration, and now I've forgotten all of my lines!
Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
O! Uh...
O, speak again...
...bright angel!
Why are you getting tensed up NOW?
My nice neighbor lady says that when you get nervous,
PUMP KIN My nice neighbor lady says that when you get nervous,
PUMP KIN you should write "pumpkin" on your palms and then swallow it!
Um, I think you might have heard that wrong.
Yui. I think she meant, "Imagine the audience members are all pumpkins"?
Oh, really?
You swallow the character for "people."
Let's try...
Hey! Mio!
Good grief, she tried to swallow it for real...
Are all the costumes ready?
Miss Sawako was in charge of costumes, right?
She said that she was going to lock herself in the sewing room and work all night.
Has anybody seen her?
I'll go check on her!
Thanks, Chika!
Is this all of the props?
I didn't see Romeo's dagger.
Mio!
Please, don't talk to me!
You've got it right there, Mugi!
Hey, now!
All that's left now is the lighting and sound effects.
Don't touch it yet! The paint isn't dry! All that's left now is the lighting and sound effects.
Don't touch it yet! The paint isn't dry! They look pretty hectic...
Thank you for coming!
I'm here!
Welcome back, Azusa-chan. How did things look in my sister's class?
They looked pretty busy, so I turned around without bothering them.
Yeah, their play is this afternoon.
Hey, how long are you two gonna keep goofing off out there?
Sorry!
You handle the kitchen, Ui.
Sure.
Azusa, you handle this.
No problem.
I'm beat...
Finally time for a break...
Those crepes look delicious!
You sure have plenty of energy left, Ui.
That one looks interesting!
Step right up! That one looks interesting!
Mammoth Meat Step right up! That one looks interesting!
Mammoth Meat Mammoth Meat?
Wow, Class 2 went all-out!
Their costumes are cute, too...
Here goes! Say "mammoth cheese"!
They're doing pictures, too. They thought of everything. Here goes! Say "mammoth cheese"!
The costumes at the mammoth booth sure were cute, huh?
I hear that Miss Yamanaka made all of theirs, plus Class 3's vampire cafe costumes.
Wow, really? I wished we'd asked her to do ours, too!
Just how spread... Wow, really? I wished we'd asked her to do ours, too!
- thin are you?
Ma'am? Are you all right?
Yes... I spread myself a little too thin this year, but I'll manage.
Because each and every costume I make is a labor of love!
Mio-chan, you look amazing!
Come on, don't stare!
Begging your pardon, good sirs!
You're super cute, too, Ritchan!
Right?!
Yeah, but it's still kinda weird, you playing Juliet!
If we did a street survey, I think 100 of 100 people would call you the weird one.
Okay, let's get all the actors together!
Coming!
Come on, you.
Our Romeo is being henpecked by Juliet...
Look at that crowd!
The seats are already full!
Hey, isn't that Mio's fan club over there?
Nodoka-chan, is it true that Sokabe-senpai will be coming to our show tomorrow?
Yes, she said she couldn't wait to see it.
All right, let's nail this play!
And now, a performance of Romeo and Juliet by Class 3-2.
Guys, this is the moment we've all worked so hard for. And now, a performance of Romeo and Juliet by Class 3-2.
Let's give it all we've got so we don't look back and ask ourselves, "What if?".
Is everybody ready?
Ow!
Okay! Then let's break a leg out there!
Yeah!
The auditorium is packed already!
I wonder if there are any seats left?
Towards the end, they hardly came by to practice at all.
Do they even care about our show anymore?
Azusa-chan!
Yes?
Hurry! Over here!
No, I shouldn't think things like that.
Sorry about that.
After all, this is their last school festival.
All I can do now is keep my fingers crossed and hope their play goes well.
He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
If thou wishest to laugh, laugh! For I have known pain!
I know the pain of being in love! I know this sweet ache in my bosom!
Um, do the trees really need to have faces?
Let's just not question about that for now.
Hark, didst thou hear a sound?
What manner of scoundrel has found his way into the Capulet orchard?
I'm on the edge of my seat... What manner of scoundrel has found his way into the Capulet orchard?
Yeah...
I'm on the edge of my seat, too, but for another reason.
I'm terrified that Yui-senpai might screw everything up!
Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
O, speak again, bright angel!
How camest thou hither? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb!
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out!
O, Romeo!
Juliet!
Stop messing around!
I'm not!
Romeo!
Juliet!
My heart's pounding a mile a minute!
Yeah...
She's right...
Mine is, too, but not because of that!
Within the infant rind of this small flower Poison hath residence and medicine power.
Good job holding it in, Yui. Within the infant rind of this small flower Poison hath residence and medicine power.
Two such opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs, grace and rude will.
You would have ruined the whole play if you had sneezed there. Two such opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs, grace and rude will.
You would have ruined the whole play if you had sneezed there. Good morrow, father.
I mean, "Damn it!" Why, if it isn't Romeo! What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
You're still in character! Why, if it isn't Romeo! What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
What's wrong with that? I'm staying in character until the play is over! Why, if it isn't Romeo! What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?
What's wrong with that? I'm staying in character until the play is over!
Everything is going smoothly so far.
Mio-chan seems to be getting into the swing of things, too.
My heart's dear love is set on hers, so hers is set on mine.
I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray, that thou consent to marry us to-day.
It's gone! I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray, that thou consent to marry us to-day.
The tombstone prop for the final graveyard scene!
I don't see it anywhere!
Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken?
In his wisdom, her father hastes our marriage to stop the inundation of her tears.
It wasn't in our classroom, either!
If it isn't there, either, it means that it must have been dropped somewhere
when it was being delivered here.
Could we do it without a tombstone?
But the graveyard scene is the climax of Romeo and Juliet!
Right. I don't want to this halfway.
What if we made one now?!
We'd never finish it in time.
What if we borrowed one from a class that's doing a haunted house?
But Japanese graves aren't quite the same.
If I remember right,
I think I remember seeing something that looked like a tombstone at the Occult Club's display.
I have a friend in that club, so I'll go ask!
Shizuka! What about your part?
Yui! Stand in for me!
You can count on me!
I'll go with her and check!
Do you have enough time to memorize your lines?
N-Nodoka-chan! I need a script!
Calm don, Yui.
Don't worry, you don't have any lines.
Hmph!
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, my dreams presage some joyful news at hand.
She's playing a different tree.
She's got a double tree role?
This is not a tombstone, this is a replica of the Rosetta Stone,
which was inscribed with various ancient languages.
The text is mostly praise for Epiphanes Eucharistos
of ancient Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty.
If you need it, though, we would be happy to lend it to you.
Thank you! Thank you!
We'll bring it right back!
Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo?
Unhappy fortune!
We'll never make it!
We borrowed it!
Okay, let's all get to work!
They seem a little frazzled.
Is everything okay?
Ah, dear Juliet, Why art thou yet so fair?
Shall I believe that unsubstantial death is amorous,
and he keeps thee here to be his paramour?
Here will I remain with worms that are thy chamber-maids!
It looks like we're going to make it through to the end without any screwups!
Yes...
Romeo!
O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after?
O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die!
Oh, wow...
It's almost like they're really Romeo and Juliet.
They must have rehearsed like crazy.
It's no wonder they didn't have any time to come to the music room.
But still... It's like they've really forgotten all about the Light Music Club!
It moved you that much?
Honey, we're home!
Boy, am I beat!
You two were terrific!
What did I tell you? Practice makes perfect!
Azu-nyan!
What did you think?! How was our play?!
Well, um...
What's this? Are you lonely because we haven't hung out with you lately?
No, of course not!
It's just...
Well, you haven't been coming to the club room much lately.
And that's made me worried that you don't care about our show.
Azusa...
I-I'm sorry! I know that you've been really busy with your play.
If you want to put on such a great play, you can't do it without tons of rehearsing, right?
Geez, you're such a dummy.
We do care about the Light Music Club.
We're sorry for making you worry, Azusa.
Guys...
They're right! I think about you all day, every day!
Not that much, thanks!
Right! We're gonna sleep here and practice for tomorrow's show!
Is it okay to spend the night at school?
Not a problem!
Even if we didn't bring any supplies to sleep over with?
No problem!
Can I have all the refills of rice that I want?!
All you want! What, what?
Girls, I have sleeping bags for you.
See?
Thanks, Sawa-chan! Are you pulling another all-nighter today?
Yeah, I still haven't finished your costumes for the show tomorrow.
I have to lock myself in the sewing room again.
No peeking, promise?
Just like the story The Crane Wife...
Okay, commence practicing!
Yeah!
Fuwa fuwa time!
Sis and the others are practicing hard... Fuwa fuwa time!
Sis and the others are practicing hard...
Yum!
There's plenty more, everyone, so eat all you want.
This is so good, Ui!
We've already arranged for dessert, so you're more than welcome to join us.
Can I?
Thank you! I shouldn't have sweets before bedtime...
It's all right. It doesn't matter what hour we eat cake at.
For you see, we're not going to bed at all tonight!
We're not going to sleep?
Of course not! With school festivals, it's all about staying up all night to get ready!
I won't let you fall asleep, little kitty!
Please leave me out of it.
Meanie!
Staying here overnight is fine, but have you submitted an overnight stay form?
I forgot all about it!
Hey.
I'll give you a copy, then.
An application form?!
You're awesome, Nodoka!
Thanks, Nodoka-chan!
Please have one.
Oh, thank you.
Are there a lot of students staying up all night to get ready?
Yes. It's the second day of the festival, but there are quite a few.
Why do you suppose so many people wait until the last minute?
Some of them do it deliberately.
I mean, staying up all night is fun, right?
Who are you, and what have you done with Nodoka?
Well, I'M going home, anyway.
Azusa, let's go home...
Oh, Jazz Club isn't staying up all night?
What, the Light Music Club is?
I'm so jealous!
That's no fair! It's not fair!
Okay, the amp's staying off from now on.
What will you do for drums?
I'll just pile these up like this, and presto! Instant drum kit!
Don't pile up our textbooks!
We were so freaked out when we couldn't find the tombstone!
I thought we were going to practice straight through until morning.
Wow, really? I thought we were going to practice straight through until morning.
We need a change of pace. Clear out the cobwebs, you know?
Azusa?
It looks like there are a lot of students who are still up.
Come to think of it, we were rushing around all day getting ready for the play.
We didn't get a chance to see anything.
Then this is the perfect time! Why don't we go look around the student festival at night?
That's a great idea! Let's do some exploring!
Guys! Come look at this!
Their meat is mammoth!
Wow, that's really elaborate.
I had some.
How was it?
What kind of meat have you found this time?
It's Juliet's grave!
Somebody must've thought it belonged to this stand, so they delivered it here by mistake.
True, it does fit in...
Oh, hey! Why don't we share the food that Ui-chan brought with the Occult Club?
Good idea. Why don't we all go thank them?
What's this? Are you scared, Mio?
I am not!
We'll be fine! Let's go!
Looks like they're still up.
I wonder what kind of presentation they're getting ready?
Some kind of bloodcurdling ritual, you suppose?
Hello?
Come in.
Thank you.
If you like, please come to our discussion on cattle mutilations tomorrow.
Sure!
We're there!
Just so long as we won't accidentally get abducted ourselves...
In that case, please come see our show tomorrow, too.
Mio's gonna get abducted on stage!
I will not!
You're so lucky, Mio-chan!
You're jealous?
What are alien abductions?
Are you blind?
We even managed to make friends with the girls of the Occult Club at the end.
School festivals are the best!
I know what you mean.
There's still some onigiri left.
Shall we take them to Miss Sawako?
But she warned us not to peek.
If we peek, she'll fly back to the moon!
That's Princess Kaguya, not the Crane Wife!
Is it that funny?
Is it just me, or do you get kinda wound up when you're at school at night?
I know, I know! I'm itching to get into mischief!
Mischief...
Can I help you?
Not really.
Everybody's snapped.
All right, let's write a new song right now! Everybody's snapped.
You've snapped, too, Mugi?
Oo! Oo! I wanna do My Protracted Love for You!
No way, it's gonna be School My School Bag!
No, My Protracted Love for You!
In that case, let's do The Raccoon Stole My Heart!
What do you mean, "In that case"?
Azusa's finally snapped, too?
It's really late. I think we should call it a...
No, I still haven't had any yakisoba...
She's already asleep.
That was fast.
Okay, lights out.
Oh, my!
Show me all that you have!
Quiet down, Ritsu!
Why are you singling me out?!
Have at you!
Fine, whatever.
Tomorrow, huh?
Let's give it 110%.
Girls! I've finished your costumes for the show!
Oh, come on...
Hey! Wake up!
Don't ignore me! That hurts more than anything!
Sorry, Sawa-chan... We're all too groggy to work up a decent comeback for you...
Sheesh! I worked so hard to make these for you!
Wow!
It's so cute!
Sawa-chan, that's awesome!
Good job, Sawa-chan!
Is this... Is this what it feels like?!
Praise me more!
Good job, Sawa-chan!
More! More!
Good job, Sawako!
More praise!
Good luck, Sawako!
After-school Tea Time Good luck, Sawako!
After-school Tea Time
Crowded in the whiteboard
They are scribbles and free wishes
Even when the school bell rings out in the evening sun
Sorry, you can't diss the power to dream
Let's sing, louder, louder, louder, at the top of our lungs
Let our lips carry our hopes and dreams
Each time a word crosses them, it turns into light
They're pieces of our selves
I don't need any memories
Because right now, I'm deeply, powerfully in love
Sweet, grownup indulgences like losing self in memories
Are something that I'll pass on for a while yet
Next Time
Okay, should we head over?
It'll be okay, Mio-chan!
We even had that special training!
I guess you're right.
Let's do it like we always do.
Okay, let's do this!
Yeah!
This is our live show!
Yeah!
Let's make it our best show ever!
Yeah!
And there'll be cake afterwards!
Yeah! Huh?
#20: Yet Another School Festival!
