King & Prince: Our Meet-Up in LA (King & Princeがまちあわせ in LA)

Snap! Duck!

SET IN LOS ANGELES, USA

What a nice breeze.

You rest your chin here, and…

It's a brand-new me.

Freaking delicious.

Wait, we're parting ways already? Seriously?

- We'll do our best. - Four o'clock sharp, yeah?

- See ya. - Bye.

A SUDDEN PARTING

I wonder if it's all the way to the back?

Kaito's gonna love it.

WILL THEY BE ABLE TO COMPLETE MISSIONS

I'm waiting for you!

I haven't crossed paths with Kaito so far.

AND MEET UP?

King & Prince: Our Meet-Up in LA.

- Snap! Duck! -

Los Angeles, USA. Their first mission is…

- Santa Monica Pier? - Santa Monica Pier.

Here…

"Meet up"

"at this secret location at four o'clock."

Wait, we're parting ways already? Seriously?

- We'll do our best. - Four o'clock sharp, yeah?

- See ya. - Bye.

The bench closest to the sea.

The bench closest to the sea, right?

The first to arrive is Ren.

Phew.

Kaito uses his intuition to look for Ren.

What if I find him by chance?

Will they meet up?

He's already there.

He's waiting for me.

Episode - 2 MY GIFT FOR YOU

This is where Ren was.

He must've been at this arcade.

It's like…

I'm not even doing anything.

I'm just spacing out.

And I feel so happy.

It's like, this view makes it all worth it.

Close to the sea. That's here, right?

Like…

Nope, not here. Where is he?

Huh?

I'm making a gamble coming this way.

If he's not here,

he must be pretty far away.

Run, run…

Where is he?

He's literally not here.

If he's close to the water…

Over there?

I really hope he's here.

If he's not here…

Is that Ren?

There he is!

All right. Nice.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You're late.

Wow.

That was a huge gamble for me to come all this way.

What do you mean?

It said "closest to the sea."

- Oh, that? - That could be anywhere.

I literally ran to find you.

I was thinking along the lines of the edge of the pier.

Right. And it's so pretty here.

- It's crazy. - Totally crazy.

Wait. What's the time?

- It's so cold now. - It's 12 minutes past.

I'm so sorry. I kept you waiting.

What did you do?

I was at the aquarium.

- It's right... - There's an aquarium here?

It's right at the start of here. Like, it's a little aquarium.

That's where I was.

Wow.

- And you found an arcade? - I was at an arcade.

Get anything?

The heck is this?

Huh?

- Peace? - You don't gotta actually do it.

- Just one finger gets you the peace sign? - Right.

You know people go, "Say cheese!" and you gotta go like this?

- Now, I can just do this. -

- What a good find. - Yeah.

What a great find. And it looks so real.

How much do you think it was?

- Was it from a crane game? - Yeah. A crane game.

I hope it only cost, like, 100 yen.

100 yen?

I'll give you a hint. One go is three dollars.

- One go is three dollars? - Three dollars.

Then three dollars.

The correct answer in yen

- 6,000. - 6,000 yen?

Are you kidding me? Seriously?

- What? - So this right here…

Every time I do this, that's a 6,000-yen peace sign.

Got it.

Like, what kind of crane game did you get this from anyway?

- It wasn't your regular crane game. - Oh, really?

- It had rings, like, this big. - Yeah?

- They're all numbered. 150.200.300. - Yeah?

Then you pick your gift based on whatever total you get.

You can pick from multiple prizes worth 100 or 200 tickets.

Some are worth 3,000. Some are 9,000.

I spent 6,000 yen to get 150 tickets.

Okay, I get it.

So I looked at the 150-ticket prizes, and I found this.

Wait. Really?

- There weren't any large dolls? - They had large dolls.

Those are worth 9,000 tickets.

I get it. That's a pretty expensive barrier.

I was excited to see what I could get for 150 tickets, and I found this.

6,000 yen.

They also had rock and paper and scissors.

- So you got scissors. Nice. - I liked scissors.

- Scissors is good. - Yeah.

Can I see?

Very nice.

So, this is what a 6,000-yen product feels like.

- I was gonna give it to you. - Whoa, really?

This is from the heart.

- For me? - Even before I did the crane game.

I was looking at all the prizes, and I wanted to win something for you.

- So this? - They had dinosaurs too.

- Dinosaurs? - Tiny dinosaurs.

Like plushies. Or, like, little figurines. They had loads of them.

- So you thought of dinosaurs too? - I did.

Really?

But peace is cool too.

- No, but... - 'Cause, like…

What was the show we did, like, two shows ago?

Peace?

- You see? - Peace.

- See? - That's why?

I didn't want you forgetting the name of the first show we did as a duo.

Wait, hold up.

I think you're just trying to make yourself look better.

But no. It's good. Like "Good LA."

Good LA.

It's yours.

So while you were doing all of this, I was out petting sharks.

- You touched a shark? - I touched a shark.

- Yeah? - I touched its skin. And, like…

It was this big.

And there was a lobster that was as big as your thigh.

That's pretty big.

It was huge. You'd be surprised.

- Wow. And you can touch them? - Yep.

I feel like I had a good time.

Yeah. Me too.

It's been chill.

Well, where now?

I got a message.

Received.

- It doesn't respond to the peace. - It doesn't.

- It's a message from Mission-san. - What does it say?

"Buy a pair of sunglasses that looks good on the other.

Meet up behind the store."

Behind the store?

So we're going to a sunglasses store?

- - Weren't you wanting some?

Yeah. It's been bright out.

- Although the sun's setting now. - You're right.

- But we can use them tomorrow. - Right.

- Okay. Let's go. - Shall we go then?

They head about five kilometers south of Santa Monica Pier.

Their destination: A popular sunglasses store.

- It's so pretty. - I think I see a rainbow. Over there?

- You're right. - Just a little one.

It's pink.

It's so pretty.

- Is this it? - I think so.

Get a load of this store!

- Goldr? - Godr?

The correct answer is goodr.

It's so cute on the inside.

This is cute.

- It's so flashy. - This is so nice.

Hello. Wow. Nice!

- Wow, I love these. - $25. That's pretty cheap.

$25. Huh?

- So about 3-4,000 yen? - Yeah. They're nice!

A POPULAR STORE WHERE YOU CAN BUY

UNIQUE, COLORFUL SUNGLASSES FROM $25

- So cute! I love the colors. - Hi.

So we buy each other a pair?

We buy each other a pair.

You're welcome to buy a pair for yourselves.

- You sure? - Sure.

- Nice. - You can buy two.

- Maybe a teardrop? - Good. I like it.

- I've decided. - Looks good on you.

Wait. That was fast.

Teardrop style makes me think of being overseas.
