- KYOSUKE:
- ("One meeting leads to two loves,
- and three trembling hearts played a gentle melody.
- Kyousuke Kasuga, 14 years old, living my teen years.")
-
- SONG:
- Accelerator's scream from tires that streak
- CUPE, with your woman on, dashed out.
- Run away from the shadows, shut the DOOR
- "I don't care where, just run!" you said.
- Encounter is a HIGHWAY JUNCTION,
- By the time I saw the harbour
- I know now, that I'm in love.
-
- TAKE ME TO SUMMER SIDE
- You said you preferred gentleness to a kiss
- NIGHT ON SUMMER SIDE
- With an innocent look in your eye, like an adult.
-
- A MAST's shadow lines the waveless inlet
- I walked on the pier holding your shoulder
- "I'm not very good at this" bursting into laughter.
- You slipped through my arms like dancing
- cheating kindness, what are you looking for?
- You don't need reasons for love.
-
- TAKE ME TO SUMMER SIDE
- Seems that I flew along the deck
- NIGHT ON SUMMER SIDE
- Straighten the back.
- You will not be somebody else
- And we KISSed (didn't we?)
- If you don't hurry summer will end
- I can't hide the emotions from my face
-
- TAKE ME TO SUMMER SIDE
- You said "I prefer a kiss to loneliness"
- NIGHT ON SUMMER SIDE
- And the way you looked, it was as of an adult.
- Take me to summer side love.
- ORANGE ROAD LOVE
- LOST IH THE LOVE

- You're kidding. There're only 99.
-
- KYOSUKE:
- But...I'm sure I counted right.
-
- AYUKAWA:
- Can't be. When I did that, there were only 99 steps.
-
- KYOSUKE:
- You must've miscounted.

-
- MANAMI:

-
- KYOSUKE:
- Hey, Pop! Do you think you got time to do that? Kurumi
- just --
-
- FATHER:
- I know. As Kyosuke says, your powers aren't to be used in
- public.
-
- KURUMI:
- "In public," right?
-
-
- KYOSUKE:
- Kurumi!
-
- FATHER:
- Ha ha ha! At any rate, I don't want move again...being called a

- It's yours, brother?
-
- KURUMI:

-
-
- THE END
-
- ======================================================================
- NOTE 1
- Kyosuke is "juu-go" years of age...fifteen. However as the Japanese
- count the first nine months in the womb as part of their age, and add
- one after the New Year, he must be fourteen. At least.
-
- NOTE 2
- Given Jingoro's passion for escaping the family in episode one, the
- fact that we later learn his mother seems to live in the same city,
- and that the time-travelling Ayukawa meets him as a kitten in the last
- episode...it would seem the Kasugas have only just aquired him. He
- probably came with the flat.
-
