Sanrio Danshi (Sanrio Boys)

Are you going to throw us

and everything we've been through together away to be alone?

Choose, Kouta.

You guys or myself?

The Magic of Friends

It was... really painful.

Yuu, Shunsuke, Ryo, President... you all sparkled,

but I was the only one that didn't.

You all shine so brightly that no one can even see me.

So I even thought that you were in my way.

We're friends, so how could I even think like that?

It was so painful.

Kouta-kun...

If it's always going to be this painful being with everyone,

then...

Wait.

Remember what you said back then?

I'm ready, you can approach me!

The person who said that I could approach them shouldn't be trying to be alone!

Kouta-kun, I...

I think you're the one who is even more shameful for saying such things

when someone who has looked after you has collapsed.

I'm not such a shameful person to leave a friend alone when they're in pain!

Don't overestimate us, Kouta.

No matter how perfect you are, it's too much.

And it makes us feel lonely.

Because we're not perfect.

You were the one who told me it's okay not to be perfect.

Shunsuke, Ryo, President...

But I...

Can't decide?

Of course you can't.

Saying you don't want to be with us because you can't sparkle

is nothing more than the whining of a selfish, spoiled child!

Shut up!

Why do you have to be the one to say that?!

You were the one who couldn't say anything to Yuri-chan!

Yeah, that's right!

Despite being older, I was afraid of her,

so I couldn't really tell her anything!

But I couldn't help it!

I was just a kid!

That's right! Me, you, all of us are.

We've been together all this time, so figure that much out, you idiot!

Who's the idiot?

You are!

We didn't realize you were hurting because we're just kids!

And we hurt you,

I'm so sorry!

Did you not have fun?

Were you really feeling nothing but pain all the time we were together?!

Of course I had fun!

I talked a lot with you guys after school!

I went to Gift Gate for the first time!

And I went to Puroland!

Had the training camp at the beach.

The fireworks and the starry sky that I saw with you guys were really pretty!

This was...

This was the first time I'd ever had so much fun in school!

Well, then!

Don't go off on your own.

Choose us.

Yuu...

After telling me to choose...

This is messed up.

Yeah, Yuu is pretty messed up,

but this is one time I agree with him.

Choose me, Kouta.

I won't hold myself back like a kid anymore.

Shunsuke...

Choose me, too, Kouta-kun!

I want to become even better friends with you!

I'm going to do what I want, too, Kouta.

I want you to choose me, too.

Ryo, President...

Don't say such selfish things.

Besides, whenever we're together, I end up feeling miserable.

What's wrong with being selfish?

What do I care about your feelings?

I, we, want to be with you!

There was totally another way he could've said that.

But this is more his style.

Yeah, he's selfish and willful

but there is no limit to his kindness.

But I have to do it by myself—

That's what I'm talking about!

Why are you obsessed with doing things on your own?

Because I promised...

You know, we've tagged along with you so far,

but even we're starting to feel the same way.

But we're not enough.

Yes, it has to be the five of us.

Get it?

We want to sparkle with you, Kouta!

With me?

Is that what you really want to do, Kou-chan?

Well?

I-It is. I want to sparkle like everybody else.

Of course,

but is it really just for Purin and I to see?

I-It really is! I wouldn't lie to you and Purin.

Yes, of course not,

but I wonder if you're lying to yourself.

Huh? Lying to myself?

Yes, lying to yourself.

I wanted to sparkle together.

With who?

My precious friends.

That's right.

I wanted... to sparkle with everyone all along.

That was all it was.

There is nothing you can't do, Kou-chan.

Grandma!

I want to sparkle with everyone, too.

But I can't give you anything.

Just being with us is enough.

Just being with you?

Yeah.

We can be happy just by being together

That is the magic of friends

If we join hands, our spirit will surge through us

And we can all smile!

The magic of friends...

That's my...

Don't leave him behind again.

Okay.

We're going to start over again from here.

Our youth, as the Sanrio Boys!

Hasegawa?

Sugami-sensei?

Don't run in the halls.

Yes, sir!

Good luck with the preparations.

Thanks, we're pushing through the final hurdle.

Sorry I'm late guys.

What's the matter?

N-N-N-N-Nothing's the matter.

Yuu-kun, you're being ridiculously suspicious.

Sorry, we were having a bit of a secret conversation.

That's way too honest, President.

Okay, well, just let me join in next time.

You've gotten stronger somehow, haven't you?

Anyway, today's our last run-through, right?

We gotta focus our energy.

R-Right, tomorrow is the real deal, after all.

Kinda feels like it passed by in a flash.

But we had lots of help.

We can't let their feelings go to waste.

Yeah, they said they'd even help out backstage during the show,

and the music—

The music?!

Crap! I completely forgot to search for new music!

What are we gonna do? We won't make it in time!

Well, Kouta-kun, about that...

I heard your conversation!

I'm the only one you can depend on in the end, after all.

Sorry, Macchi.

I don't have time to play with you right now.

That was harsher than ever before.

But what is with this strange sense of security?

Jeez, Macchi, you're just confusing things.

Here you are, Mizuno,

the music we promised.

It was down to the wire, but we managed to make it in time.

Thank you, we're saved!

Did you say music just now?

What, you didn't know, Hase?

Mizuno asked me for help.

He asked if the light music club could make some songs.

Yuu asked you?

Please!

Sure!

Well, I didn't do it all by myself. I had a bit of help.

Sorry, Macchi.

This whole time I seriously thought you were just in charge of the air guitar

or that it was the fashionable light music club.

That innocent expression is too much.

I do play an instrument, y'know! It's the light music club after all!

Oh, but what about you Tsucchi?

I can play some instruments, so I helped out a bit.

It was pretty fun.

I definitely won't be surprised at what you can do anymore.

Kouta, let's give it a listen.
