Oyome ni Oide

If perhaps in this ship, I find your happiness
I'll return home soon so, come to me as my bride
Even on dark lonely nights, when there's no moon
Singing for me, was your smile
If you see a boat, with your body drenched, come to me
I'll give you a red ring, made out of coral

If perhaps on this sea, I find your happiness
I'll return home soon so, come to me as my bride
Even the waves are dreaming
The starry night sways me with your whispers
If you see a boat, with your body drenched, fly to me
I'll lift you up to the sky
And kiss you enough to set you on fire

Even on dark lonely nights, when there's no moon
Singing for me, was your smile
If you see a boat, with your body drenched come to me
I'll give you a red ring, made out of coral

And kiss you enough to set you on fire

~ Fukuyama Masaharu
Akira's love song
(He sings the first verse on the school PA system after confessing his love for Nobuta to the empty school)

Akira: Nobuta! I love you
I love the book you read
I love the road you walk on
I love the top floor your in
I love anywhere you are
I REALLY love it.
So for your sake
I'll sing...
[He is speaking into the school PA system when no one is supposed to be in school]
Shuji: Eh? Sing? Why is that guy singing? [He went with Akira and is in the classroom]

Nobuta wo Produce

Shuji: *thinking to himself while riding the bike to Akira's house*
What is happening in someone's heart...
I mean, what is happening in HIS heart?
Inside his heart, there is something...
something beyond my imagination.
*has minor flashback of Akira saying he is going to quite producing because it's too painful to see Nobuta 'belonging' to more people*

*Akira is in his terrace, until he hears a bike skid to a stop, and when he looks outside he finds Shuji. Shuji does Akira's Kon-kon pose, and Akira can't help doing the pose in reply. Then he goes out of the view*
Akira: Why is he here?
*looks down at Shuji again*
He is really mad!
*backing away from the edge, he hits his foot on a bench*
OUCH!

*Now they are both in Akira's room. Akira is sitting near a table while Shuji is standing in front of him*
Shuji: Okay, I want to hear it one more time...
You're really going to stop producing Nobuta?
Akira: Yeap.
Shuji: Then what?
What do you want to do with Nobuta?
Akira: What to do?
*imagines Nobuta smiling and doing the Kyon~ pose,
smiles to himself at his own imaginings, and grabs Shuji's leg*
Shuji: *Brushes him off and sits next to Akira*
Are you going to confess to her?
And then go to the zoo on a date or something? >_<
Akira: Well that kind of thing too...
But what I want to do most is...
Should I say this? *smiles*
Marry her!
Shuji: ~_~
Akira: How embarassing~~ Heehee

Shuji: (thinks to himself) His reality goes way beyond my imagination.

Nobuta wo Produce

Akira: Uh... I want to quit "Producing" (They are "producing" Nobuta to make her more popular.)
Shuji: I see *not really paying attention*
*realizes and looks at Akira, shocked*
Wait? Why?
Akira: ...
It's too painful
Shuji: Too painful?
Akira: It's too painful to watch Nobuta belonging to more people day by day.
Shuji: What do you mean by that?
Akira: *looks around* I want Nobuta to be just mine. *facing Shuji*
Shuji: *looks at Akira in a sort of amazed way*
Akira: To tell the truth, I don't want others to even look at her. *walks away*
Shuji: *is dumbstruck*

*Akira is walking home at night, when he meets and old man, who is an urban legend, "Honto Ojisan" who is this guy, who keeps chasing you until you tell him the TRUTH*

Honto Oji-san: Tell me the truth!
Akira: *look behind his shoulder and notices him, and then slowly looks forward again*
WHAAAAH!
HE APPEARED!!!
*runs away waving his arms and screaming (adorably)*
Honto Oji-san: *runs after him* Tell me the truth!
Akira: *runs*
Honto Oji-san: *runs after him* Tell me the truth!
Akira: *Stops and grabs a short wall and sits on it, trying to catch his breath*
Honto Oji-san: Tell me the truth, please!
Akira: The truth?
Honto Oji-san: Hm!
Akira: *claps hands*
I got it!
I like Nobuta.
Honto Oji-san: Is it... Love?
Akira: Yeah. Love! *with a hand pose*
Honto Oji-san: As in, "fall in love"? ("Fall in love" being said in English)
Akira: (In english) Yes! Fall in love! *snapping fingers*
*Honoto Oji-san nods, and Akira does the 'Best' hand pose, and Honto Oji-san leaves*
Akira: *touches his chest and lets out a deep breath*
*stands up*
Fall in loove~ *with a pose*
But wait...
EHHH???
*has a shocked expression on his face as the realization of what he just said dawns on him*
Love?
EHHH?
I like Nobuta?
Really?
Really?
Is this for real?
*stumbling around in circles*
Is this really really really for real?
Spring is going to come?
Ehh?
*looking up at the sky*
Seriously???

Nobuta wo Produce

*Shuji is eating dinner with his family when the door bell rings, so his little brother opens the door*
Shuji's brother: It's your friend
Akira: I'm coming in~
Shuji: *shocked*
Shuji's Dad: Shuji's friend?
Akira: Yes! Although we are a bit unstable now
(at Shuji) I like your hair tie!
Shuji: *hurriedly removes his tie, and gets rid of his rather funny hair-do*
Akira: *spots the kitchen counter* Woah~ You wash your wooden chopsticks?
It's eco~ Eco~ (meaning ecological)
Shuji: Why are you here?
Akira: To threaten you~~ *complete with a pose*
Shuji: Huh?
Akira: *Unslings backpack and starts taking out stuff*
Shuji's Dad, and Little Brother: What is that? Tiles? Eh?
Akira: *Aranging the tiles on stack supported by two bricks*
I thought about it, and I just can't stand and watch Nobuta get rejected by getting water poured on her head.
So tomorrow, if you pour water on her, I'm not gonna let it go.
*poses*
Bang!
Shuji: What do you mean? *confused*
Akira: *Poses more, and punches the stack of tiles, which BREAKS*
Shuji and co: Ehhh! *Drawing back, suprised*
Akira: *Shaking his hands*
You'll be like that.*strikes another pose pointing at Shuji with both hands*
*starts packing up the broken tiles into his backpack and Shuji's little brother helps him*
Akira: Arigatou~ (At Shuji's little brother)
*spots dinner on the table
Ahh its Miso Oden
*takes a bite*
That's yummy! *another pose, pointing at the food this time*
I'm leaving now~
*leaves*

Episode Four ~ Nobuta wo Produce

Why are you so mad? Are you getting enough Calcium?

Akira at Shuji ~ Nobuta wo Produce

Nobuta: I... was digging for a long time on my own, like a mole, underground, and suddenly, you two came up.
Shuji: Eh? You mean the two of us?
Nobuta: In the future, am I suddenly going to meet more people as well?
If so, it's not so bad digging by myself.
Akira: You will be able to meet a lot of different people-
Shuji: and then one day, you'll never see them again...

~Nobuta wo Produce

*Written on the mirror at the end of the horror house made by Nobuta and Akira for the School Festival*

"Right now, the person whose hand you hold,
the chance of you having ever met that person, is like a miracle.
Even when you go into the light, don't let go of that hand"

~Nobuta wo Produce

I...
When I found the one I liked, Then, with that person,
I wanted to be always happy and live my life with her.
That's what I had thought.
But, if I really lived with her, like this time, there will be days when I'll make her cry.
I don't ever want to make her cry....
But I'll make her cry.

Kusano Akira ~ Nobuta wo Produce

*Akira is lying on the floor after Nobuta's punch. Nobuta has just dragged Shuji there*
Shuji: *crouching near Akira* I heard she punched you with her fist.
Akira: I'm done for~
Nobuta: I'll go buy some ice *takes money from her bag and leaves*
Shuji: You, does it still hurt?
Akira: Ouch!!
My heart hurts!
Shuji: Well, if the one your crushing on punches you, it really must hurt...
Akira: *getting up suddenly*
*deep breath*
I...
was about to throw out the video you filmed.
the one that Nobuta spent so much time editing.
I wanted to throw it in the trash can
I am the worst guy
The worst!
*lies down on the floor again*

~Nobuta wo Produce

Seishun Amigo

An echo, my cellphone rings, and a terrible premonition flashes through my heart
Calm down, mi amigo

I'm in a mess, help me, those guys are chasing me
Maybe this is the end, mi amigo

As if to tear us apart, the cellphone died

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left

When I reached a dark alleyway, you were slumped there
I didn't get there in time, I'm sorry

I can't keep the promise we made the day it all came crashing down
But I'm so happy you came

You held my trembling hand tight

Yes, when we came to this city we felt like we could have anything we wanted
Yes, we left our home behind without looking back to pursue our big dream,
smiling the whole time
We dreamed that together we could chase after a future that wouldn't change

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left
