Cover page: “The thing that I wanted the
most had escaped from my hand. However, at that time, I was able to
create music. Am I lucky? Or am I not?” Narration: “When Yuu-kun
transferred to our school, it was in grade 3’s second term.” Flashback:
In class, young Yuu somewhat arrogantly introduced himself. Narration:
“I bluntly say it but my first impression on him is quite bad.” Reading a
book, Yuu said that since he was grade 2, he no longer plays childish
games like dodge ball. The others are gloomy over it since he won’t join
them. Riko is furious that she angrily threw the ball at Yuu, knocking
him down from the chair. The others asked who would go and stop Riko
[from beating Yuu up?]. Narration: “At that time, I don’t know why but I
thought of dodege ball as supreme that I would risk my life on it. And,
for first time in his life, Sou becoming popular has arrived.” The kids
are amazed at how Sou can easily hit the others in dodge ball and it is
already the third one. The girls praised him as cool. Grumpy Yuu just
quietly watched them play from the window. Narration: “Thore are the
peaceful times when even if Shou is fat, he is quite omnipotent at
sports. Afterwards, Yuu’s acting has been exposed during PE class.” On a
horizontal bar, Shou easily swung around and round it. The others
exclaimed at how amazing he is. Soon, it is Yuu’s turn. Riko watched him
intently. Yuu looked up the horizontal bar. He jumped and fell down
without even reaching it. This surprises everyone. Later on, Riko,
walking with Sou, called out to Yuu to hurry up, sports idiot. Yuu is
breathing hard from carrying his, Riko and Sou’s bags. Narration: “And,
that is how Yuu became my and Sou-chan’s subordinate.” =P End flashback.
Putting her pointing finger and thumb under her chin, Riko couldn’t
believe it. During practice, she glances at Yuu who is playing the
guitar. She thinks that at that time, after seeing Yuu’s expression, she
wondered if Yuu likes her. Then, she quickly dismisses the thought and
just thinks that Yuu is just admiring the sunset, too. Then, Soichiro
calls out to Yuu and tells him to try turning around while playing. Riko
and Sou try to suppress their laughter as Yuu stiffly turn around.
Then, Riko and Sou burst into laughter. Soichiro tells embarrassed Yuu
that is too much, for there ought to be a limit to one’s lack of motor
skills. There is a camera there, viewing them.
In a different recording studio, using his iPad, Shinya goes into
Soichiro[/Takagi]’s USTREAM account and types a password. He watches the
others laughing at Yuu as Soichiroh exclaims about there being a limit
to one’s lack of motor skills. Shinya smiles as Yuu shouts at his
friends, up to when they are going to laugh. In a bad mood, Aki reminds
Shinya that right now is the time for Crude Play to work. Shinya looks
at him and gestures to the side. He asks if it is okay for Aki not to
mind that side. There is a huge balloon shark floating around the
studio. Using a remote control, Teppei makes the shark to poke Aki’s
head and he shouts that the prey is found. Aki pushes the shark away and
angrily shouts for Teppei to get out. Irritated Teppei says that it is a
balloon fish, and he thought that Aki would like it so he specially
bought it [for him]. The shark nudges Aki’s face. Aki strictly tells him
to restrain himself a bit. Kaoru and Teppei sigh together for Aki has
already gone into that temperament mode since they are currently
recording. Shinya comments that isn’t it good if they just do it in
accordance to what Aki likes. Aki tells him that of course they are
going to do it in accordance to what he likes. “It is only that you guys
can’t do it that way, right?” In the recording booth, Shun asks what
part won’t do. Aki says everything. Shun says that he sang it with a
feeling of ‘kapow’ like what Aki said. Aki says that wasn’t a ‘kapow’
feeling. Shun asks if it is like when a fireworks explodes. Aki says
that he hates the sound of ‘bi-yo’ just when the fireworks go up the
sky. Shun asks if it is like a mouse flare. Aki says that it isn’t ‘chiu
chiu’. Teppei and others wonder what kind of conversation meeting is
that. Just when Aki is about to bite into his snack, Shinya casually
says, “..by the way, isn’t this song more suitable for a female singer?
*whispers* Fundamentally, it is like that.” Aki looks at Shinya in
surprise. After thinking for a while, Aki apologizes to Shun and tells
him that in the end, this song won’t be recorded in the album, so let’s
move on to the next one. Somewhat flustered Shun tries to protest but
Aki says that this isn’t a song that Shun voice can sing [/doesn’t suit
him] and it is his mistake, sorry. Everyone is puzzled for there is no
problem at all with it. Shinya glances at Aki. Shun looks frustrated.
Later on, Mush & Co. are about to leave when Miwako calls them
aside. She apologizes that they must be tired but can they lend her some
of their time. In a meeting room, Miwako informs them of the
information leak in Twitter about next, next week’s Music Station’s
performance. “Did you guys tell it to your friends?” Riko says that she
didn’t tell anyone except for her father and the others but then, they
don’t know how to use Twitter. Yuu and Sou say that they also didn’t.
Miwako is a bit puzzled and says, is that so. Realizing something, Yuu
asks Sou if he told that freckled girl who confessed to him. Sou denies
it and declares that among the three of them, Miwako can have confidence
that he is the one who can strictly seal his lips. Yuu admits that is
true. Miwako laughs and says is that so, then there’s no problem. She
apologizes for asking them a weird question. She advises them to pay
attention in managing information. While walking at the hallway towards
the reception area, Riko tells the others that there is really such a
thing as an information leak. Yuu says that it is really scary,
Facebook, Twitter and such things. Sou says that he totally don’t know
the motive of someone who will specially do such a thing. Riko agrees
with him. Realizing something, Yuu says is it that..feeling of
superiority? Then, they see Terada at the reception area telling the
receptionist that she is a friend but the receptionist is still hesitant
[to let her go in]. Terada sees the trio and she brightens up. She
calls out to Sou and says that it is great that she gets to see him. Sou
asks why she is there. Blushing, Terada says that of course, it is
because she wants to see him. While Riko and Yuu nervously look at each
other, Sou blushes and says that didn’t they see each other after
school. Terada says that she still wants to see him. Sou says that they
can see each other tomorrow at school. Terada insists that she wants to
still see him and timidly asks if she is causing trouble. Sou asks her
how come she knows that he is there. She says that of course, it is
because he told her. This puzzles Sou. He says that he didn’t say that.
Terada insists that he did. She smiles and tells them that thing doesn’t
matter so quickly bring her in the office for a tour. Flustered, Sou
says no, for unrelated people can’t go in. Terada asks if she is
unrelated. This made Yuu and Riko uneasy and flustered. With a sour
expression, Terada asks why.
Back in Studio 2 which CP occupies from 15:00~20:00, the staff had
already left. The only ones left inside are only Aki and Shun. Flipping
over a leaflet, Aki looks at Shun who is smoking. He asks if Shun can
come to his house today. Surprised Shun says that he can. Aki says that
he is going to ride the train so they’ll see each other later on.
Putting on his sunglasses, Shun says that Aki can ride on his car.
Holding the balloon shark, Aki says that it is because he is going to
bring this guy home and it won’t fit in Shun’s car. Kicking the door
open, Aki happily says that he is going to take it away even before
Teppei and the others come back from the toilet. Shun is shock that he
asks if Aki is for real. On the door, Aki leaves a note, “To Teppei, I
have captured the shark! Aki.” In the toilet, while urinating, Kaoru is
happily singing Totoro [theme song of My Neighbor Totoro]. Also
urinating, Teppei asks Kaoru what’s the meaning of him singing that at
this time. Kaoru asks if he can’t, then should he sing Ponyo [theme song
of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. Both Totoro and Ponyo are animated
movies by Hayao Miyazaki] Teppei says that all the more, he can’t. As
they laugh, Shinya washes his hands. Then, he tells them that since
before he has been thinking as to why the two of them [Teppei and Kaoru]
has a lot of free time [/leisure]. Facing Shinya, the two are
surprised. Shinya continues to say that what they plan to do if Crude
Play disbands. This made the two flustered that they say what disband is
he talking about and why is he saying this all of a sudden. Shinya
seriously tells them that perhaps, it would be better for them to
[start] thinking about it early on. At the train, aghast Yuu exclaims to
Riko that it is definitely that girl and she’s quite scary. Riko says
that Terada really likes Sou. Surprised Yuu exclaims if Riko is an
idiot, for didn’t she saw that girl looking like a leopard. While the
other passengers are glancing at them, Riko tells him that he’s noisy.
Yuu tries to protest but Riko tells him that he can’t say such things
without proof, and Sou did say that he would find a good place to ask
her. Yuu gives in. Arriving at Tsukishima station, they see a huge shark
balloon floating. Everyone is surprised by it. Riko and Yuu wonder if
they are sleep or is it a dream. Then, they see Aki holding the string
of the balloon and apologizing to the people around. After recovering
from their shock, Riko is embarrassed when someone says that it feels
that there is a weirdo there. Riko angrily calls out to Aki.
While walking with his balloon, Aki looks dispirited as he walks with
the two. He timidly says that it isn’t that but a friend bought it for
him. Riko says that it would better if he just let the air out and bring
it home. Talking nonstop, Aki tells the two that it is because the
set-up of the balloon’s body is quite hard. “And, if it is too much, it
won’t be able to properly float. My friend worked very hard to help me
in putting air in it. *using the remote control* By the way, look! This
can make the shark’s tail sway about! Isn’t it amazing!” The two snubs
him and keeps on walking. Later on, Aki tells them that they are going
to part there. He apologizes to Riko that he can’t walk her home because
he has an appointment to meet with someone but it is great that they
were able to coincidentally see each other. Yuu kicks Aki and tells him
to stop yapping and quickly go home. Riko scolds Yuu. Later on, Aki asks
Yuu how come he is following him. Yuu says that he also lives there.
Then, Aki says that it seems that he has heard about it from Riko. Yuu
angrily says is that so. Then, Yuu quickly walks past Aki as the
receptionist welcomes them back. This irritates Aki that he quickly
walks past Yuu. Soon, the two are running towards the elevator. Inside
the elevator, Yuu presses the 38th floor and says that Aki would
definitely be below that. To Yuu’s surprise, Aki presses the 45th floor.
While Aki looks smug, Yuu exclaims that fundamentally, he is a NEET so
how can he pay for the rent. [Note says that the higher the floor, the
higher the rent] Aki tells him not to show off when he obviously doesn’t
pay the rent himself. Yuu is flustered for he can’t answer back. Angry
Yuu wonders why he is very infuriated with Aki. “Is it because he’s
Riko’s boyfriend. Is boyfriend is boyfriend is boyfriend∞” Angry Aki
thinks that in this whole week, he only met with Riko for just 15
minutes and it is a coincidence but this guy gets to be in school and
recording room 5 days a week. Soon, the elevator opens at the 38th
floor. Ignoring each other, Yuu goes out. Then, he looks back and
wonders if Aki is truly a NEET.
At room 4501, Shun gets a can of beer. He looks at Aki who is busy
cooking. Like in some cooking demo, Aki talks to himself on how he
prepares the dumplings. First, use some hot water to boil the peelings
of the tomato and onion slices Then, mix the cheese and the
shiso[/perilla] into the ground meat with generous salt and some black
pepper. Then, hand folding it into the dumpling wrappers is still
comparatively delicious. On the pan, add some olive oil, and shivers of
chili spices for taste. And, it should be pan fried. Holding a plate of
dumplings[/potstickers] on hand and the spatula on the other, Aki
happily says that the tomato dumplings are done. Shun lamely asks on
what’s the meaning for him to totally make only dumplings. On the table,
there are platefuls of dumplings, seasonings and beer. Aki tells him
that the taste isn’t all the same. Preparing to eat a dumpling, Shun
says that even so.. Then, he happily exclaims that it is very delicious,
what is that, what is that. Aki happily beams to say that of course, it
is barbecue sauce and mayonnaise dumpling. Later on, Aki is busy
grating a white radish [/daikon]. Shun asks isn’t he making too much
radish. Aki says that it is because they are eating too many dumplings
that one should use the white radish-vinegar-soy sauce because it is a
good match with it. Shun intently looks at Aki then he says, “Say it. It
is because you wanted to say something that is why you called me here,
right?” Aki looks surprised as Shun looks straight at him. Aki sadly
asks, “Is it okay for me to give the song to Mari?” Shun looks flustered
by what Aki said. Riding in his car, Shinya talks to himself that Aki
is really so slow-witted and stupid. “In spite of being a type of
genius, he is slow-witted up to this extent. Don’t make one feel
disgusted. *stops at a stoplight and looks at Mush&Co. CD case
spilling from his bag on the other seat* But, right now, the music that
Aki-kun makes, not all of it are written for Mushroom.”
