1
00:00:10,621 --> 00:00:15,129
A golden bowl, on the right hand.

2
00:00:15,129 --> 00:00:19,649
A silver bowl, on the left.

3
00:00:19,649 --> 00:00:24,056
Never equal without both.

4
00:00:24,056 --> 00:00:28,664
Those two bowls in each of us,

5
00:00:28,664 --> 00:00:37,518
those two invisible bowls.

6
00:00:37,518 --> 00:00:45,921
The golden bowl, filled with happiness...

7
00:00:45,921 --> 00:00:53,544
shines with a warm radiance.

8
00:00:53,544 --> 00:00:57,833
The overflowing love I've felt since I met you...

9
00:00:57,833 --> 00:01:06,702
couldn't be held in the golden bowl.

10
00:01:06,702 --> 00:01:11,079
A golden rapture,

11
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:15,169
a silver sadness.

12
00:01:15,169 --> 00:01:22,303
Let us lay down everything that has passed,

13
00:01:22,303 --> 00:01:27,361
So that only you may be held, So that only love may be held,

14
00:01:27,361 --> 00:01:52,388
Let us empty those twin bowls.

15
00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:55,955
Who are you?

16
00:01:55,955 --> 00:01:59,049
Who are you?

17
00:01:59,049 --> 00:02:03,065
A five-minute instance in a forgotten childhood,

18
00:02:03,065 --> 00:02:09,955
Of course there's no one who would remember such triviality.

19
00:02:09,955 --> 00:02:15,086
From beyond that low fence, holding a crimson scoop in dirty hands,

20
00:02:15,086 --> 00:02:18,661
you asked me, looking at me with those lovely eyes,

21
00:02:18,661 --> 00:02:21,793
Who are you?

22
00:02:21,793 --> 00:02:27,944
Who are you?

23
00:02:27,944 --> 00:02:33,065
Bye-bye! Please come again!

24
00:02:33,065 --> 00:02:36,136
Come back soon!

25
00:02:36,136 --> 00:02:38,524
It only took five minutes.

26
00:02:38,524 --> 00:02:43,002
It all happened on a rainy day, long time ago.

27
00:02:43,002 --> 00:02:46,946
But if you, perhaps, have even the tiniest memory of it,

28
00:02:46,946 --> 00:02:49,021
one day, definitely,

29
00:02:49,021 --> 00:02:52,651
I'll tell you that I remember it as well.

30
00:02:52,651 --> 00:02:54,098
Who are you?

31
00:02:54,098 --> 00:03:07,231
Who are you?

32
00:03:07,231 --> 00:03:09,006
Nanako, what are you doing?

33
00:03:09,006 --> 00:03:10,706
You're going to be late if you don't hurry!

34
00:03:10,706 --> 00:03:13,342
I'm coming!

35
00:03:13,342 --> 00:03:17,207
Ouch!

36
00:03:17,207 --> 00:03:19,992
Don't tell me you plan on wearing that to school?

37
00:03:19,992 --> 00:03:21,873
Huh? Why?

38
00:03:21,873 --> 00:03:25,263
Even though the school does have a standard uniform, it's not required to wear one.

39
00:03:25,263 --> 00:03:29,732
Students may wear their own attire, as long as it is suitable for school.

40
00:03:29,732 --> 00:03:33,087
See, it says so in the student handbook.

41
00:03:33,087 --> 00:03:38,063
There won't be anyone wearing their normal clothes at the entrance ceremony.

42
00:03:38,063 --> 00:03:39,464
But...

43
00:03:39,464 --> 00:03:44,597
If you think about it and really still don't understand the etiquette, ask your father.

44
00:03:44,597 --> 00:03:53,839
You always say that...

45
00:03:53,839 --> 00:03:56,317
Good morning, Dad!

46
00:03:56,317 --> 00:04:00,722
Nanako, that looks really good!

47
00:04:00,722 --> 00:04:03,722
You look like a genuine high-schooler now.

48
00:04:03,722 --> 00:04:07,006
It's very cute. It's splendid!

49
00:04:07,006 --> 00:04:12,183
Dad, you're always exaggerating...

50
00:04:12,183 --> 00:04:16,221
I'm leaving!

51
00:04:16,221 --> 00:04:24,395
Brother, my dear Brother,

52
00:04:24,395 --> 00:04:28,622
Starting today, I'm a high-school student!

53
00:04:28,622 --> 00:04:30,657
Of course, I'm not so naive

54
00:04:30,657 --> 00:04:33,664
To think that moving up from middle school to high school

55
00:04:33,664 --> 00:04:35,051
Will change my life completely!

56
00:04:35,051 --> 00:04:41,832
After all, this year's cherry blossoms will be just the same as last year's.

57
00:04:41,832 --> 00:04:44,105
But... but still, Brother...

58
00:04:44,105 --> 00:04:45,801
Can you hear it?

59
00:04:45,801 --> 00:04:50,835
My heart is racing so much.

60
00:04:50,835 --> 00:04:59,617
Episode 1 The Dazzling People

61
00:04:59,617 --> 00:05:01,358
I barely made it...

62
00:05:01,358 --> 00:05:04,815
Good morning, Tomoko!

63
00:05:04,815 --> 00:05:06,179
Hey, that uniform suits you!

64
00:05:06,179 --> 00:05:09,473
You too.

65
00:05:09,473 --> 00:05:11,585
What happened to our little agreement?

66
00:05:11,585 --> 00:05:12,804
You too.

67
00:05:12,804 --> 00:05:15,223
Aren't you supposed to be wearing your favorite clothes?

68
00:05:15,223 --> 00:05:17,908
Well, mom's so old-fashioned, you know.

69
00:05:17,908 --> 00:05:19,677
The same with me.

70
00:05:19,677 --> 00:05:22,096
It's not that she's strict, but her lectures are just too much.

71
00:05:22,096 --> 00:05:26,518
Mine too. Something about plain clothes at the entrance ceremony not being proper.

72
00:05:26,518 --> 00:05:28,006
What?

73
00:05:28,006 --> 00:05:30,052
My mother said the exact same thing!

74
00:05:30,052 --> 00:05:33,611
I chose Seiran High because they allow us to wear our regular clothes.

75
00:05:33,611 --> 00:05:36,817
But, he said I look cute.

76
00:05:36,817 --> 00:05:38,157
Huh?

77
00:05:38,157 --> 00:05:42,197
He says it looks very good on me!

78
00:05:42,197 --> 00:05:43,035
What the...

79
00:05:43,035 --> 00:05:45,013
You're such a daddy's girl!

80
00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:50,826
So what?

81
00:05:50,826 --> 00:05:55,102
Brother, to be honest,

82
00:05:55,102 --> 00:06:00,288
Dad isn't my real father.

83
00:06:00,288 --> 00:06:02,277
When I was five

84
00:06:02,277 --> 00:06:10,241
My mother took me and remarried my father.

85
00:06:10,241 --> 00:06:14,043
This bus is bound for City Hall, passing through Seiran Girl's High School.

86
00:06:14,043 --> 00:06:16,853
The next station is Park Entrance.

87
00:06:16,853 --> 00:06:20,328
But now I love dad so much.

88
00:06:20,328 --> 00:06:30,024
He's so affectionate, yet logical...

89
00:06:30,024 --> 00:06:32,434
Ah, I'm sorry.

90
00:06:32,434 --> 00:06:36,057
Uh...

91
00:06:36,057 --> 00:06:46,894
Excuse me...

92
00:06:46,894 --> 00:06:48,061
What a pretty...

93
00:06:48,061 --> 00:06:50,312
Bracelet...

94
00:06:50,312 --> 00:06:53,776
Seiran Girl's High School Front Gate.

95
00:06:53,776 --> 00:06:55,154
Excuse me, excuse me, I'm getting off!

96
00:06:55,154 --> 00:07:17,144
Please, excuse me, I need to get off!

97
00:07:17,144 --> 00:07:18,903
Ah, I'm sorry!

98
00:07:18,903 --> 00:07:23,267
I'm still not used to riding the bus...

99
00:07:23,267 --> 00:07:29,263
Here. You dropped this, didn't you?

100
00:07:29,263 --> 00:07:32,704
Here. You dropped this, didn't you?

101
00:07:32,704 --> 00:07:38,017
With a burst of fresh air and dazzling light, just like echoing chimes,

102
00:07:38,017 --> 00:07:42,373
cool, serene, yet surprisingly clear,

103
00:07:42,373 --> 00:08:01,341
that time, her voice resounded deep in my heart.

104
00:08:01,341 --> 00:08:05,365
Wow, shocking! There's no one in uniform!

105
00:08:05,365 --> 00:08:06,377
Really...

106
00:08:06,377 --> 00:08:10,526
Which class are you in? I'm in A. How about you, Nanako?

107
00:08:10,526 --> 00:08:13,064
Me... I'm in B...

108
00:08:13,064 --> 00:08:16,512
To bad we aren't in the same class.

109
00:08:16,512 --> 00:08:19,003
We've been in the same class since elementary school.

110
00:08:19,003 --> 00:08:25,081
- Sad? 
- A bit

111
00:08:25,081 --> 00:08:29,627
Everyone, please assemble in the auditorium. The entrance ceremony will begin soon.

112
00:08:29,627 --> 00:08:32,456
Then... see you later!

113
00:08:32,456 --> 00:08:35,119
Good luck for both of us!

114
00:08:35,119 --> 00:08:37,948
You, you're from another junior high school, right?

115
00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:38,856
Huh?

116
00:08:38,856 --> 00:08:41,318
Those in uniforms are usually like that.

117
00:08:41,318 --> 00:08:44,175
Students from our affiliated junior high don't wear such things.

118
00:08:44,175 --> 00:08:52,368
Anyway, since you came from other school, you must be smart, right?

119
00:08:52,368 --> 00:08:54,208
Here, look at this... It's a secret.

120
00:08:54,208 --> 00:08:54,886
Huh?

121
00:08:54,886 --> 00:09:01,059
I only polished my thumb nail! It's red. Isn't it pretty?

122
00:09:01,059 --> 00:09:04,341
You, you're cute and have a great energy!

123
00:09:04,341 --> 00:09:06,592
Let's be friends!

124
00:09:06,592 --> 00:09:08,553
Are you... in Class B?

125
00:09:08,553 --> 00:09:09,004
Huh? Yeah...

126
00:09:09,004 --> 00:09:12,868
I just knew it! Me too. How wonderful!

127
00:09:12,868 --> 00:09:15,622
I'm Shinobu Mariko. And you?

128
00:09:15,622 --> 00:09:17,766
Misonoo Nanako.

129
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:21,822
Hm, such a difficult name.

130
00:09:21,822 --> 00:09:28,596
You must be using that herbal shampoo. I love it too.

131
00:09:28,596 --> 00:09:37,049
It's going to start. Let's go!

132
00:09:37,049 --> 00:09:46,379
Prince Kaoru!

133
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:49,127
Look at that!

134
00:09:49,127 --> 00:09:51,167
Hey, it's true! She's here, Kaoru!

135
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:57,729
So she didn't quit school after all...

136
00:09:57,729 --> 00:10:10,072
Udaisho Prince Kaoru?

137
00:10:10,072 --> 00:10:12,292
Prince Kaoru, what a relief!

138
00:10:12,292 --> 00:10:14,058
Are you feeling all right now?

139
00:10:14,058 --> 00:10:18,362
We were afraid you were going to leave just like that.

140
00:10:18,362 --> 00:10:21,369
Starting from today, I'll be a freshman, just like you.

141
00:10:21,369 --> 00:10:22,593
Please take care of me.

142
00:10:22,593 --> 00:10:24,775
Are you going to continue with your club activities?

143
00:10:24,775 --> 00:10:26,893
Of course.

144
00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:32,213
Full name, Orihara Kaoru. She's in Class B with us.

145
00:10:32,213 --> 00:10:34,812
Let's have a seat, girls. The ceremony's going to start.

146
00:10:34,812 --> 00:10:37,627
Actually, she's our upperclassman.

147
00:10:37,627 --> 00:10:43,871
But she's been on a sick leave since Junior High.

148
00:10:43,871 --> 00:10:46,071
You two over there, sit down quickly!

149
00:10:46,071 --> 00:10:53,071
Ah, yes!

150
00:10:53,071 --> 00:10:58,423
Brother, I'm still not sure, but

151
00:10:58,423 --> 00:11:01,431
somehow the cherry blossoms this year

152
00:11:01,431 --> 00:11:07,963
might be a little bit different from last year.

153
00:11:07,963 --> 00:11:10,541
Following the guests' congratulatory address

154
00:11:10,541 --> 00:11:25,483
We will have a welcoming message 
from the student council president.

155
00:11:25,483 --> 00:11:28,123
You might not believe it, but

156
00:11:28,123 --> 00:11:29,886
her lips

157
00:11:29,886 --> 00:11:33,823
were gleaming, moistened like glittering wet grapes.

158
00:11:33,823 --> 00:11:36,542
Did you see that? You saw?

159
00:11:36,542 --> 00:11:38,648
She's Ichinomiya Fukiko,

160
00:11:38,648 --> 00:11:40,687
our princess.

161
00:11:40,687 --> 00:11:45,719
And right behind are the girls in the Sorority Members.

162
00:11:45,719 --> 00:11:49,704
Princess? Sorority Members?

163
00:11:49,704 --> 00:11:53,306
It's my dream. I'm definitely getting in to the Sorority!

164
00:11:53,306 --> 00:11:54,937
Oh, my heart is pounding!

165
00:11:54,937 --> 00:11:57,533
It's been my dream since coming to this school.

166
00:11:57,533 --> 00:12:00,127
I'm confident I'm going to be a candidate!

167
00:12:00,127 --> 00:12:03,178
Uh... What's Sorority?

168
00:12:03,178 --> 00:12:06,497
It's a social circle common in American universities.

169
00:12:06,497 --> 00:12:09,085
Your heritage, education, looks, and health

170
00:12:09,085 --> 00:12:12,493
are all taken into account 
by the senior members before you're accepted.

171
00:12:12,493 --> 00:12:17,574
For a long time, our school has permitted plain clothes, and the Sorority system.

172
00:12:17,574 --> 00:12:19,833
And upon entrance to our school,

173
00:12:19,833 --> 00:12:25,826
you are eligible to become a candidate for Seiran Sorority Members.

174
00:12:25,826 --> 00:12:27,847
Should you be formally accepted,

175
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:30,912
You can join extravagant parties, be friends with elite seniors of the school,

176
00:12:30,912 --> 00:12:32,057
join group study activities,

177
00:12:32,057 --> 00:12:35,228
receive advice on how to become more and more beautiful,

178
00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:38,124
and get introduced to wonderful men.

179
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:41,177
Your school life will fully blossom!

180
00:12:41,177 --> 00:12:44,701
That's why all these pretty girls from upper societies

181
00:12:44,701 --> 00:12:46,431
are madly desperate

182
00:12:46,431 --> 00:12:51,118
to get close with the Members.

183
00:12:51,118 --> 00:12:54,313
This year, from amongst you,

184
00:12:54,313 --> 00:12:56,904
we upperclassmen

185
00:12:56,904 --> 00:13:00,006
shall choose appropriate candidates

186
00:13:00,006 --> 00:13:06,927
and invite them to a final selection party.

187
00:13:06,927 --> 00:13:10,759
Finally, we are planning to take ten candidates this year.

188
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:33,635
- Ten?! 
- Did they say it's ten people this year?

189
00:13:33,635 --> 00:13:35,506
Wow... The sound of this piano...

190
00:13:35,506 --> 00:13:36,873
It's Saint-Just!

191
00:13:36,873 --> 00:13:41,851
It's Saint-Juste of the Flowers!

192
00:13:41,851 --> 00:13:44,662
- Saint-Just! 
 - Saint-Just!

193
00:13:44,662 --> 00:13:47,153
Saint-Just of the Flowers?

194
00:13:47,153 --> 00:13:54,023
There are three beauties in our school literally worshiped by every student.

195
00:13:54,023 --> 00:13:55,746
Prince Kaoru.

196
00:13:55,746 --> 00:13:57,708
Ichinomiya Fukiko, the Princess.

197
00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:02,101
and, Saint-Just of the Flowers.

198
00:14:02,101 --> 00:14:04,404
She's in the music room. You should go!

199
00:14:04,404 --> 00:14:07,468
You've got to know as well, just in case.

200
00:14:07,468 --> 00:14:22,234
There

201
00:14:22,234 --> 00:14:52,252
It's her!

202
00:14:52,252 --> 00:15:18,919
So... who wants this lucky red flower?

203
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:20,617
Sorry, Tomoko.

204
00:15:20,617 --> 00:15:21,991
You're late!

205
00:15:21,991 --> 00:15:24,628
- You know, I saw her. 
- Saw who?

206
00:15:24,628 --> 00:15:26,312
- Lady Saint-Just of the Flowers. 
- What?!

207
00:15:26,312 --> 00:15:27,841
The person I met on the bus this morning.

208
00:15:27,841 --> 00:15:28,803
Hmm

209
00:15:28,803 --> 00:15:31,248
- She's a wonderful pianist!
- So?

210
00:15:31,248 --> 00:15:43,903
No, I was just...

211
00:15:43,903 --> 00:15:45,283
It's Prince Kaoru.

212
00:15:45,283 --> 00:15:46,346
The Prince?

213
00:15:46,346 --> 00:15:55,896
We're in the same class.

214
00:15:55,896 --> 00:15:58,785
They say she was sick and took a year off, but

215
00:15:58,785 --> 00:16:08,902
she looks quite healthy. 
What could have made her so ill?

216
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:11,154
Let's hurry. It's going to rain.

217
00:16:11,154 --> 00:16:31,344
Ok...

218
00:16:31,344 --> 00:16:33,874
It's a spring rainstorm.

219
00:16:33,874 --> 00:16:36,304
Cherry blossoms are going to fall.

220
00:16:36,304 --> 00:16:38,887
Most likely... in this rain...

221
00:16:38,887 --> 00:16:41,325
- It's always the rain. 
- What?

222
00:16:41,325 --> 00:16:48,941
Up until now, it's rained on every single important day of my life.

223
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:53,423
Come on, it's not that bad. I like the rain.

224
00:16:53,423 --> 00:16:58,335
Is it just my imagination?

225
00:16:58,335 --> 00:17:00,833
It wasn't raining on that day.

226
00:17:00,833 --> 00:17:02,258
That day?

227
00:17:02,258 --> 00:17:09,441
Huh?

228
00:17:09,441 --> 00:17:11,278
But wow, I was so surprised!

229
00:17:11,278 --> 00:17:16,846
That the Sorority only takes 10 out of 150 students.

230
00:17:16,846 --> 00:17:19,732
The competition's even tougher than the school application!

231
00:17:19,732 --> 00:17:22,792
My classmates are already crazy over it!

232
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,624
Mine too, the Sorority's the talk of the day.

233
00:17:24,624 --> 00:17:31,122
There are daughters of a CEO, a senator, an ambassador,

234
00:17:31,122 --> 00:17:33,064
and even daughters of famous college professors are in our class.

235
00:17:33,064 --> 00:17:39,002
At least your father is also a college professor!

236
00:17:39,002 --> 00:17:41,326
My dad would laugh if he heard that.

237
00:17:41,326 --> 00:17:44,026
Those girls live in a different world from us.

238
00:17:44,026 --> 00:17:47,173
We need to start thinking about what we're going to wear to school starting tomorrow.

239
00:17:47,173 --> 00:17:50,871
Yes, of course.

240
00:17:50,871 --> 00:17:54,982
Misaki, you're definitely going to be the top candidate.

241
00:17:54,982 --> 00:18:01,543
Your father is a lawyer, too... And you're the top in every single aspect...

242
00:18:01,543 --> 00:18:10,008
We'll see. Everything depends on how the upperclassmen see me.

243
00:18:10,008 --> 00:18:10,855
Is she...?

244
00:18:10,855 --> 00:18:29,961
Yes, she's in our class.

245
00:18:29,961 --> 00:18:38,258
Saint-Just! Saint-Just of the Flowers!

246
00:18:38,258 --> 00:18:43,943
Why is she called Saint-Just? What's her real name?

247
00:18:43,943 --> 00:18:48,067
Girls from other schools like you are so unaware of things going on.

248
00:18:48,067 --> 00:18:51,009
She's Asaka Rei, in the 11th grade.

249
00:18:51,009 --> 00:19:03,003
Asaka... Rei.

250
00:19:03,003 --> 00:19:12,883
The princess is going home!

251
00:19:12,883 --> 00:19:30,035
How can I possibly compete with those people?

252
00:19:30,035 --> 00:19:32,563
You're the girl I met on the bus...

253
00:19:32,563 --> 00:19:36,196
Uh, excuse me... Please use this...

254
00:19:36,196 --> 00:19:40,564
Nanako, Nanako, Hey, Nanako!

255
00:19:40,564 --> 00:19:43,786
What's wrong? You suddenly spaced out.

256
00:19:43,786 --> 00:19:44,868
I'm going home. Let's go.

257
00:19:44,868 --> 00:19:47,007
It's 15 minutes until the next bus comes.

258
00:19:47,007 --> 00:21:18,846
We haven't even got an umbrella. You know that.

259
00:21:18,846 --> 00:21:23,498
Oh, you got another letter from that girl?

260
00:21:23,498 --> 00:21:27,613
So, why'd you suddenly want to see me?

261
00:21:27,613 --> 00:21:30,646
I need a break from working on my thesis.

262
00:21:30,646 --> 00:21:33,051
Why don't we have a drink together?

263
00:21:33,051 --> 00:21:42,171
Sure. Let's go, then.

264
00:21:42,171 --> 00:21:45,807
Right, before drinking... I have to go shopping for something.

265
00:21:45,807 --> 00:21:46,476
Shopping?

266
00:21:46,476 --> 00:21:49,519
Yeah, I need to buy a present for her.

267
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:51,997
So she's in high school now... Finally...

268
00:21:51,997 --> 00:21:53,104
Yeah.

269
00:21:53,104 --> 00:21:57,137
And Seiran, huh? What a big small world.

270
00:21:57,137 --> 00:21:59,231
Yeah.

271
00:21:59,231 --> 00:22:02,297
Are you going to let her know that the present is from you?

272
00:22:02,297 --> 00:22:04,187
Huh? Well...

273
00:22:04,187 --> 00:22:06,006
Are you sure?

274
00:22:06,006 --> 00:22:13,856
If you write your name, her parents are going to figure out it's from you.

275
00:22:13,856 --> 00:22:21,005
But...

276
00:22:21,005 --> 00:22:23,702
Brother,

277
00:22:23,702 --> 00:23:08,075
My dear brother,

278
00:23:08,075 --> 00:23:13,164
This is how my first day of school ended.

279
00:23:13,164 --> 00:23:17,501
Surrounded by beautiful upperclassmen and my mature classmates...

280
00:23:17,501 --> 00:23:20,971
It's with a sense of wonder and bewilderment,

281
00:23:20,971 --> 00:23:35,054
That I now see my Junior High years fading into the past.

282
00:23:35,054 --> 00:23:39,607
It was such a great day!

283
00:23:39,607 --> 00:24:09,488
A spring rainstorm! I couldn't say I don't like it so much.

284
00:24:09,488 --> 00:24:14,195
I saw an awesome dream last Sunday

285
00:24:14,195 --> 00:24:15,906
But when it saw you,

286
00:24:15,906 --> 00:24:20,701
Surprised, it just flew away

287
00:24:20,701 --> 00:24:25,009
I would never lose

288
00:24:25,009 --> 00:24:26,811
So just for you

289
00:24:26,811 --> 00:24:31,247
I have rushed and tried so hard

290
00:24:31,247 --> 00:24:42,286
This feeling of love, staying in my heart

291
00:24:42,286 --> 00:24:47,608
bewildered by the mischievous fairies' game

292
00:24:47,608 --> 99:59:59,999
dances to and fro, always capricious
