Slam Dunk: The Movie (スラムダンク)

Starting my run in the middle of town, bright sunlight at my back

mabushii hizashi wo se ni hashiridasu machi no naka

tatakareta itsumo no youni kata wo

as always, you tapped my shoulder

kimi ni muchuu na koto ni wake nante nai noni

I'm so enthralled by you, yet for reasons unknown

sono ude wa karamu koto wa nai

your arm won't be linked to mine.

I don't know when but my eyes were locked on you,

itsuno ma ni ka hitomi

and that's how it all began.

ubawarete hajimatta

I won't let you go. I won't have any doubts. Crazy for You.

hanasanai yuruganai Crazy for You

I want to shout that I love you, let's try to change tomorrow,

kimi ga suki da to sakebitai ashita wo kaete miyou

I want to put an end to the times I couldn't speak.

kooritsuiteku toki wo buchi kowa shitai

I want to shout that I love you. Let's be brave and take a step forward.

kimi ga suki da to sakebitai yuuki de fumidasou

These burning feelings, I want you to catch.

kono atsui omoi wo uketomete hoshii

Sakuragi,

Let me show you what real basketball is.

Shut up,

I won't let you go any further.

Damn!

Number 10 holding offense. Basket counts. One free throw.

See Sakuragi, that's what a real shot is.

Damn!

One hour earlier

Takezono High School

Haruko, their cheering is pretty loud.

Hmm, but we have to cheer too...

Look, they seem try to do their best!

Rukawa! Let's Go Rukawa! Rukawa!

What are they up to?

Rukawa! Lovely Rukawa! Rukawaa...

Even Rukawa's cheerleaders aren't a match.

Takezono! Fight! Fight! Fight!

I got a wind of it,

but Takezono fans' cheering is really good.

This is why other schools are not willing to play against Takezono.

Under such great pressure, all morale is lost.

Since 70% of Takezono's students are girls.

Thus, basketball team members are very popular among them.

They're just a bunch of guys who are mesmerized by girls.

Defeating them will be easy.

Let me, the genius Sakuragi Hanamichi, teach them a lesson.

Ddin't you join the basketball team because of Haruko-chan?

Speaking of which,

I wonder if Haruko-san is cheering for me.

Gori...

Listen up, everyone.

That annoying cheering,

Is one of Takezono's secret weapons in securing best eight position of the regionals.

There are many girls constantly watching Takezono basketball team's practice.

So in order not to screw themselves up, they practice very hard.

Thus, Takezono is not just a team of idols.

Keep that in mind, understand?!

Yeah!

Let me take care of them!

Hey Sakuragi! The Court's over here.

I... I need to go to the toilet for a little while.

My stomach has been aching since morning.

Idiot! Be quick!

He seems very nervous.

A real retard.

Damn! I should have taken the entrance exams for Takezono.

It's like an all-girl school.

This school has to be men's paradise.

Stupid! Not everyone can be popular with girls.

Especially not you.

What do you mean by that?!

But, this is Hanamichi's second match.

I hope he has improved.

Ok! Let's make a bet on that.

Who wants to bet on Hanamichi having no progress at all?

Me!

There can be no bet then.

Damn, that stupid Gori.

Hitting people for no reason.

Such an unreasonable guy.

No matter how you look at it, he can't be Haruko's brother.

Nyoga-san, do your best!

Thank you.

Blah. It's those loud mouth girls again!

I can sense this girl is very classy.

I didn't know I had fans here in Takezono,

even bringing me drinks.

Lady, you have very good taste.

Sakuragi-kun.

Sorry, Sakuragi-kun.

But, I like Oda-kun from the basketball team.

I failed!

Congratulations Hanamichi.

In your three years of Junior High, you've gotten rejected by 50 girls.

That will be a very hard record to break.

Damn you bastards!

Yo... Yohko-san.

A... Are you doing well?

Y... Yes.

Is that so?

Sakuragi-kun, this uniform on you...

This? Does it have a weird odor?

That must be it. I haven't really washed this yet.

I heard you got into Shohoku,

but I didn't know that you joined the basketball team.

Because I'm a sportsman.

I was just hiding my skills.

But, I've already defeated Captain Gori.

And I am slated to be the next captain.

Gori?

He looks like a gorilla, thus his nickname is Gori.

Oda?

But, it's hard to believe,

Compared to your Junior High times, you're a different person.

Because I'm a genius!

Only your hair color hasn't changed.

Is that so?

Yohko-san is much prettier than she was in Junior High.

I didn't know she got into Takezono.

I didn't know

that you guys were that close.

Oda-kun...

Oda?

Sakuragi, stop kidding around. That uniform...

Oda-kun is surprised too right?

Sakuragi is in Shohoku's basketball team now.

That's nothing...

I'm not surprised.

I'm just worried for his team.

Isn't that right?

What do you know about basketball?

You only keep fighting in Junior High everyday.

Shohoku must be running short on people.

Idiot, geniuses don't need any experience.

If you had seen my great display against Ryonan,

then you'd understand.

Don't look down on basketball.

What?

Sakuragi!

Punks like you have no right to play basketball.

There's a limit even if you want to disgrace basketball!

You damn cocky bastard!

Sakuragi-kun!

Just as I thought,

you're still the same, using violence to solve everything.

Sakuragi, hit me all you want,

but from now on, don't touch basketball again!

Stop insulting the great basketball spirit!

Damn it! You stupid punk!

Sakuragi-kun!

Hit me if you want you punk!

Damn you!

Stop it, Sakuragi-kun!

Don't look down on basketball...

Damn!

Sakuragi,

soon, you'll see! I'll show you what real basketball is!

Oda-kun!

Hey did you hear? Oda-kun almost got hit.

Oda-kun?

How cruel!

I think it was Shohoku's number 10.

That's unforgivable, to bully Oda-kun. We can't forgive him!

He must be one of Shohoku's punks.

You can tell by the red hair.

So cruel, I feel sorry for Oda-kun.

I think that guy's name is Sakuragi.

Rukawa-kun! Do your best!

Hanamichi-san! Do your best!

Stupid number 10! Don't pick on Oda!

Number 10 go home!

Go home... Go home... Go home...

You have guts, Oda!

Let me see what your basketball is!

Number 10, traveling!

Good job number 10, stupid.

Idiot. In basketball, individualistic play won't let us win.

Rukawa, you bastard!

Hanamichi, be more serious.

Hanamichi's too impulsive.

Of course he is. They were once opponents in love.

But the truth is, she turned into a beauty.

Oda-kun and Sakuragi-kun, do your best.

Sakuragi, looks like you are not too popular with your teammates.

What the...

This is like an adult playing against a kid.
