"Hey, my name's Sakurakoji Jun, 17 years old, T-Score of 72." "It's kinda sudden, but my good friend Makky has some mysteries about him..." "Mystery 1:" "During PE, he absolutely refuses to change his clothes with everyone." "Mystery 2:" "Good work!" "Even though he has a brand name wallet..." "His younger brother Mikky doesn't go to school but instead works at ours." "Mystery 3:" "Even though they probably both like each other, he dumped my childhood friend." "What is Sakaki-kun thinking right now.." "Now I'm so intrigued by these mysteries.." "I suddenly decided to visit Makky's house." "This.. is Makky's house?" "Not good..." "This isn't good!" "Someone get him!" "I'll go knock him out." "Alright." "You punk, don't go out there!" "Things will get bad if he finds out this is a Yakuza headquarters!" "We're sorry!" "So shall I stall him for you?" "Emergency!" "Emergency!" "Red Alert!" "An intruder has entered headquarters." "Master's high school friend "Sakura-something" has entered the compound." "Make sure you hide everything including yourselves." "I repeat." "Hide yourselves!" "A friend.. from school?" "Thank you very much." "Please enjoy your stay." "Cool..." "Mikio, thanks." "It's Ok." "You owe me one." "Huh?" "Sakurakoji-kun, enjoy yourself." "Oh, thank you for talking with me about your university." "I had no idea..." "You had such a cool private tutor." "Tutor?" "That guy's not cool, he's just some bean sprout." "And to think your family is this rich." "That punk..." "Walking around however he wants in our haven.." "Sakura-something, why come here all of a sudden?" "Not good!" "Ouch.." "Something just hit my neck.." "No way!" "Where?" "Are you Ok?" "Huh?" "There were guys looking like Yakuza here, weren't there?" "Yakuza?" "!" "No way!" "I'm scared.." "No no no.." "Yakuza are scary!" "You're probably mistaken.." "Probably." "Oh well.." "It's Makky's photo album!" "No, give that back!" "I'm just looking!" "Give..give..give it back.." "It's Makky and Mikky!" "You guys are way cute!" "Give it back!" "Huh?" "What's this one?" "What's this?" "That's the picture from Master's 19th birthday..." "That..that..that..that's my birthday.." "Birthday?" "Well there is a cake..." "Is this from your delinquency days?" "But this looks like a Yakuza family.." "B-b-b-b-band..." "Band?" "We were trying to look cool by dressing like that." "Like a high school rock and roll band." "There are so many members." "Makky, what did you play?" "Huh?" "Me?" "I can play whatever.. guitar.. drums.." "Amazing!" "Makky, when's your birthday?" "I was born in 197-..." "Scorpio." " Scorpio!" " Yea." "He's so curious about the Master..." "Things will get bad if this keeps up." "Then I'll become Mikky and go knock him out." "Who's Mikky?" "Mikky's..." "Um.." "I mean..." "Here." "Hikari's really down.." ""Let's meet in the park from before." "I'll be waiting."" "Why do you avoid Hikari?" "You like her, don't you?" "I.. have nothing I can say to Umemura-san." "I can't fall in love at school..." "I.." "Have to walk my own path." "I see.." "Even so, you have to properly tell her." "That's not fair to Hikari." "Everyone, do you have some time after school?" ""Boys Locker Room."" "Um.. we have to decide on what we're doing for the Culture Festival." "I pass!" "I have cram school." "Besides, isn't it a bit lame to be trying so hard?" "As usual, freaky long-haired guy gets on my damn nerves.." "But if you give a great performance, you win the "Best Class" prize." "There's no meaning in winning something like that." "Participation is optional for 3rd year students anyways." "We don't have to do it." "We're participating in the Culture Festival!" "Class 3-A is taking part in the Culture Festival." "Huh?" "What the heck.." "You can't be serious." "And don't be peeping." "Catch our drift." "I don't get you." "Just listen up!" "Got it?" "I think this Culture Festival is the last big event of the year we do as a class." "It's true that studies are important at a time like this.." "But is it Ok for class 3-A to end like this?" "Just put aside studying time for a little bit, and try your best with everyone." "But Sensei.." "If we fail our exams because of it, can you guarantee our futures?" "I can't." "But even if you get into university.." "You'll see many adults who regret that they didn't enjoy their high school life more." "I'm one of them." "If you try your best, you won't regret it." "That's all I can guarantee." "Iron-face!" "Everyone try your best." "Yo yo yo!" "So you have no comment about seeing us naked boys?" "!" "At least apologize!" "Thank you, Iron-face.." "That's right.." "Do your best, Sakaki Makio, 27 years old!" "In order to become Boss, I'm gonna become stronger!" "Has anyone put their opinions on what we can do for the Culture Festival into the Suggestion Box?" ""Why don't you do it yourself."" ""I wanna poop." "Hoshino."" ""Do your best!" "I won't help you though, but I'll cheer you on."" ""Kumai Ramen."" "Dammit.." "They're all a bunch of unwilling punks.." "No!" "I can't show this kind of result to Iron-face.." "More positively..." "Let's try to think more positively.." "Ok then.." "O.." "O.." "N.." "O.." "N.." "GA.." "O.." "N.." "GA.." "KU-MA." "ONGAKU-MA.." "O.." "N.." "GA.." "KU-MA?" "ONGAKU!" "[Music]" "Huh?" "Good..." "Everyone!" "We, as class 3-A, for this year's Culture Festival..." "Will play music!" "Wha?" "!" "What's up with that?" "!" "Music takes a ton of practice!" "It's totally out of the question." "Catch our drift?" "This is the last event of school!" "Let's everyone create the best memory!" "It's tough.." "It's tough, but it will become our greatest memory!" "Let's everyone play music!" "My Boss My Hero" "Timings from tianj Raws from gryzze" "Episode 8: "Happy Day" of Love and Youth." "Um.." "Episode 8: "Happy Day" of Love and Youth." "I'm sorry about before.." "There's something that I have to do." "So I have to graduate high school no matter what.." "So.." "So from now on.." "Ok." "It's Ok." "I got into that school I was recommended for." "Huh?" "What?" "You passed?" "Yea." "The university called the school and Sensei told me about it just now." "Great!" "Congratulations!" "That's great!" "It's all because of you." "Thank you." "As a classmate, please give me your best regards." "I don't have to study for exams anymore, so I'll help you out with the Culture Festival." "Let's do our best and graduate together." "Hey.." "I can see you two.." "No way, you knew?" "I thought you had no idea!" "Watching someone getting dumped is pretty low." "Sorry.." "Why all of a sudden is Makky so..." "It's Ok.." "I'm Ok." "Being dumped so bluntly feels kinda refreshing." "Um.." "I think he really likes you." "So why is his attitude like that all of a sudden?" "Makky has some sort of secret.." "Secret?" " Hoshino-kun.." " Yea?" "Is it Ok not to help Sakaki?" "It'll be Ok to let him do it himself." "What's so Ok about it, huh?" "Oh, you're Sakaki's little bro.." "Punks like you don't deserve to call me by name." "You know what?" "I wanted to become Aniki's classmate just like you guys..." "And now these spoiled little kids...!" "Right, I'm sorry!" "Listen up.." "If you guys don't do what Aniki says..." "This fake Mikky-sama isn't gonna let it go quietly, goddammit!" "What are these?" "I borrowed it from the music appreciation club." "For everyone to practice together.." "But no one's gonna come.." "You're right.." "We can't force anyone to participate." "I played a little back in high school." "Then I got busy with entrance exams..." "C-can you play that again?" "That's amazing.." "Seeing you makes me want to relive my high school days again..." "Huh?" "Youthfulness that can take anything head on..." ""The white color of the flower, is the color of your lover."" "Ok, Minami!" "Let's try our best tomorrow, too!" "Ok!" ""The white color of the flower, is the color of your lover."" "Or something like that..." "Huh?" "Wha?" "Oh, nothing!" "I wasn't thinking anything at all..." "Oh, Ok." "But you know.." "But I think it's really great, that attitude." "So have more pride in yourself." "Pride?" "Of course." "You're our unlikely dependable leader." "Oh really?" "Yes." "Really?" "Pride?" "Leader?" "Sakaki-kun.." "I can play the flute." "Everyone." "We might as well hang out with Sakaki." "We were in the brass ensemble back in junior high." "But in exchange, help me out with the quadratic function." "Of course!" "Thank you so much!" "Yo." "Hoshino-kun and the guys." "And those other guys as well!" "Alright, great.." "Let's try our best, everyone!" "Incredible!" "Yasuhara-kun, you're so great!" "Well.." "I've played since I was really little." "So those who've played keyboard or piano before include Yasuhara-kun.." "Also Chiba-san, Mita-san, and Minowa-san." "Ok." "Here you are." "Other people with experience.." "Tanaka-san will play horn." " Yuuki-san will be saxophone." " Ok." "Tendo-san is on flute." "Ok, here you are." "Okumoto-san is on guitar." "I'm on guitar too!" "It's so cool!" "I've played before as well." "Hold up." "Me too." "I even brought 2 guitars." "Aren't there too many guitars?" "It's Ok, everyone play." "Here you are.." "And on bass will be Hiratsuka-kun and Aoki-kun." "Ok." "But we don't have a drummer..." "Oh!" "Makky can play drums, right?" "Huh?" "That one band.." "With you guys trying to be cool.." "Ah!" "That one!" "What was that?" "That's great." "Sakaki-kun will be on drums." "Good." "Everyone try your best." ""Oh Happy Day"?" "Iron-face picked this song.." "Hey Kazu, do you know what that is?" "This is..?" "!" "Why is the "I" from "KURO-I"-san's name in sheet music?" "!" "I was surprised too." "It appears that this has nothing to do with Kuroi's name." "When you see that, it's a sign that the sound goes halfway up." "What do you mean, "The sound goes halfway up"?" "Well.. a regular "Faah" would be "FAAAHH"!" "FAAAHH?" "Anyways, keeping in rhythm's difficult." "I can't bear to see my brother like that.." "He's the kind of person that was born to be the 3rd." "He had strength and technique that would lose to no one." "And yet..." "He's going become 28 soon and he's doing stuff like that.." "I believe that the master is stronger now than he was before." "The Master is currently..." "Trying very hard to organize a Kumi (gang/class) called 3-A." "I respect the Master like that." "My apologies, but.." "I can't follow anyone else except the master." "Really?" "One." "Two." "One Two Three Four." " Why do you keep doing the same thing?" "!" " I'm sorry.." "I'm sorry.." " Stop it.." " Don't make her mad." "I'm really sorry." "Was it always like this? Take it seriously." "Oh Happy Day!" "Stop, stop, stop!" "Stop!" "The guitars are all over the place.." "The chorus' harmony is too loud." "And the brass and woodwinds are too loud." "It's because the guitars can't get the right notes we have no choice but to be loud." "What was that?" "!" "Hoshino-kun..." "You weren't playing right." "Huh?" "Sakurakoji isn't playing the right notes either." "Sorry." "I just started playing, so my fingers hurt." "Mine too." "Hoshino-kun and us..." "Are actually beginners." "Hayasaka-kun can't hit the notes, but he's so loud we end up following his lead." "I know!" "Can we really become a band at this rate?" "Nope." "Let's quit." "But everyone, let's try again from the beginning." "Right." "But Sakaki-kun..." "Yes?" "Your rhythm is the worst thing of all." "Wha?" "!" "Right." "You say you play the drums, but all you have is one small drum." "Have you really played before?" "You have no rhythm at all." "Actually.. his Agnes Exercises are always off, too..." "That's right!" "That may be true, but everyone should listen and pay attention around themselves." "Being in a band isn't about performing by yourself." "Everyone's sound should mix." "It's not about 27 people producing 27 sounds.." "But 27 people making 1 sound." "Wha?" "27 into 1?" "Ok then, from the beginning." "Um, Sensei..." "Can you perform with us?" "Huh?" "Me?" "You shouldn't push yourself so hard." "It's so obvious that I'm holding everyone back." "Sensei, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" "Iron-face.." "I mean.." "Minami-sensei told me..." "If you add 27 ones together it makes 27 but now.." "I have to make it into 1." "It's weird mathematically, no?" "Pardon me!" "Aniki are you alright?" "Yea I'm good." "Thanks." "Hm.. you're right..." "For example.." "The person known as Sakaki-kun is 1 person." "But in reality, there isn't 1." "What?" "There's more than 1 Aniki?" "!" "Where.. where else am I?" " Makio!" "Makio!" " Aniki!" "Sakaki-kun is..." "Is made of approximately 200 bones, 60 trillion cells, and 22,000 genes." "But they're not just all in the same place." "They help each other, they interact with each other." "That's how they maintain the body." "That's why if you force yourself, your soul or your body hurts, right?" "It's very hard to make create one thing with many creators." "I see.." "To think there was such a secret within Aniki..." "I see.." "So getting class 3-A, which was scattered to begin with, to work together is a difficult task." "And by the way, you brothers are very close." "Huh?" "No we're not!" "It's true.." "Kazu's been a part of me..." "He always looks out for me and thinks about me." "Aniki?" "I never thought I'd learn a thing or two from you." "You punk.." "Huh?" "Everyone!" "Here are some riceballs! I made them." "Please eat them." "Hello.." "Thank you for watching over Jun." "This is my older sister." "Please enjoy yourselves." "Kuroi, one more time." "Ok." "Ready and.." "I have to look at everyone.." "27 people.." "listen to all of their sounds.." "Us 27 people will become 1." "Wha?" "1, 2, 3, 4... 5, 6, 7, 8... 24, 25, 26... 26?" "That freaky long haired guy isn't here!" "Stop for a sec!" "Stop, stop!" "What should we do here..." "Doing it in 1 week was too impossible." "Wait wait wait..." "Um.. that.." "Um.." "Um.." "Segawa-san's hip movements just now were awesome." "Huh?" "Me?" "And Nishina-san..." "Your *pa pa pan* rhythm was so great and I was like all *ton tsuku ton*." "Yea, we were able to do it, huh?" "Yea." "And Sakura-something and Hoshino-san.." "You guys can stretch your fingers wider than you could before." "And Mita-san..." "I think you should sit in a lower chair." "Sitting in that one's fine too, but I think sitting in this one is even better." "Please use this one." "Thank you." "I don't know why..." "But.. how do you say.. harmony?" "Everyone's performance had a good feel to it." "Yea, we're better than we were before." "Yes." "He's right." "Let's do it again from the beginning." "Cool!" "What did you come all the way here for?" "Let's practice together, Suwabe-kun.." "Practice?" "You've been pretty carefree since you don't have to take exams anymore, Umemura." "Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm there or not." "True.." "We can become a band without you, Suwabe-kun." "Makky!" "We could.." "But it wouldn't be class 3-A." "If everyone's not there, then we can't become 1." "Huh?" "I don't get what you're saying at all.." "You're pretty persistent.." "Really?" "I really didn't want to have to do this, but..." "Hey, what are you doing?" "!" "Sorry!" "We're going to borrow Suwabe-kun for a little bit!" "Say something!" "Welcome back!" "You're late, long haired freak." "We've been waiting." "Let's do it, Suwabe." "I don't have enough hands to play drums, so here." "Ok, let's practice." "What's with you guys?" "Right there!" "Ok!" "It says 'AGS!" "' Where did the the 'NE' go?" "The day of the Culture Festival..." "And then the day of the Culture Festival came." "Mikio.." "I've been noticing." "Your running about within the gang." "And a group is banding together to make you the boss.." "Did Kuroi tell you?" "No he didn't." "No matter how less involved I am, I'm still a cell in this gang." "I can tell by this atmosphere dammit." "Makio." "Today..." "I don't know what you're thinking, but.." "In order to become Boss I must graduate high school." "More than that.." "I have pride in the class that I'm with." "Pride?" "With just 20 or so people" "Damn right." "Because I'm stupid.." "Bringing together 5000 people or 27 people is the same to me." "Dad.." "Yea?" "Will you come see us?" "Come watch my Kumi (class/gang)." ""Agnes Festival 2006" We're doing a "Maid Cafe." Please come "meow."" "Moe?" "*geek talk for hot*" "My apologies for interrupting, but it's time." "My class is going to win "Best Class" for sure!" "What should I do I'm so nervous!" "This isn't good." "Everyone calm down." "For now.." "For now let's just have fun." "Right?" "Right." "That's right, everyone.." ""Oh Happy Day" means "Oh, what a happy day."" "Sakaki-kun, everyone knows that." "Um.. yea.." "Today, let's everyone become one and send the greatest happy day!" "Yea!" "Boss." "Oh!" "That's Minami-sensei!" "No way!" "Yuriko-sensei!" "One.." "Two.." "One.." "Two.." "Three.." "Four..." "Do your best!" "What do we do?" "Ok, once more from the chorus." "Ok?" "One Two Three Four!" "Aniki is smiling a lot!" "Everyone hold hands!" "Here we go!" "Ready and.." "And now we'll present the prize for "Best Class."" "I will now present the prize for "Best Class."" "Class 2-C." "We did it!" "Everyone I'm sorry.." "I'm so very sorry.." "Because I screwed up.." "We lost the prize.." "Cheer up." "Even though we didn't win the prize it was fun, right?" "Right? But I still think we should make Makky cry a little." "Huh?" "Makky, happy birthday!" "You kids.." "It was fun, Sakaki-kun." "It's not like we really wanted that prize anyways." "Yea." "That's right." "I am a bit disappointed.." "Yea.." "But it was great and happy!" "Me too." "Me too." "It was fun." "Thank you." "Because of this, I feel like I can try my best for my entrance exam." "Thank you, class leader." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Everyone.." "Why are there 28 candles?" "Oh crap!" "Aniki, please blow out the damn candles!" "Makky, sit down." "His mysteries don't matter anymore." "Makky is Makky." "Yea." "What's wrong Sakaki?" "Makky?" "Does your stomach hurt?" "I'm crying!" "I'm crying dammit!" "What?" "What is it?" "!" "You guys.." "I love all of you guys goddammit!" "Ok!" "Here we go!" "One.." "Two.." "One Two Three Four!" "New Years Day 2007." "And then time passed.." "It became winter." "Happy!" "New Year!" "Happy New Year." "Today is especially cold, isn't it?" "Not many people came to school either.." "Well, exams have already begun." "I start mine next week." "Really.." "Try your best." "Yea." "Jun, here you go." "My mom told me to give this New Years picture to you." "Oh, thanks." "They came out really fast." "She wanted to show them to you fast." "Thank you.." " How nice." " This is a good picture." "At this time.." "I still didn't know yet.." "Everyone." "It's snowing." "Snow?" "During this high school life with love and youth.." "There would be one final storm.. It's been awhile, Kumada's young guy.." "We didn't expect the Sharp Fang would acquire the Shichiriya." "Yes." "My apologies!" "But now, the Kantou Sharp Fang's headed in a dangerous direction." "There's internal struggle of who will inherit the gang." "Also, their punk master Sakaki." "Is going to high school." "High school?" "Like.. a real high school?" "Yes." "You've got to be kidding." "Ending Theme:" "Sorafune by TOKIO" "No, this isn't a joke." "What the hell is this?" "If we want to destroy them, now is the time." "It's beautiful." "I wonder if it will pile up." " Election!" "I'm going to inherit the Kantou Sharp Fang." " Graduation Test!" "You're going to graduate with everyone." " Valentines Day!" "Mr. 3-A?" "I'll fight with all of this together damn it." "Sakaki!" "Prepare yourself!"
