Kimagure Orange Road (きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード)

"This is a story from long, long ago..."

"A man and a woman fell in love..."

"And into an abyss did they fall..."

This...

...is the story of the strange experience that Ayukawa and I had...

...the time we went to my grandfather's house.

"Oh, did they fall..."

Usually, I spend precious nights sitting beside you as you drive along.

Your cancellation call smelled of a lie. I hung up, pretending not to notice.

My manicure, now dried, is going to waste; its color will just decorate the night.

A-HA-HA... I'm the actress in the mirror.

Though I should say what I really feel, hesitation whispers in my ear.

'Cause I love you... I'm the actress in the mirror.

The more I put on an act, the further away I get from my true self.

You've broken my heart.

A-HA-HA... I'm the actress in the mirror.

I wish I could bring myself to cry, but I change what I say to fit my tough act.

'Cause I love you... I'm the actress in the mirror.

I've realized my tragic mistake, yet I cannot return.

You've broken my heart.

WHITE LOVERS

At a train station on a faraway day...

...snowflakes dance on the platform...

...and I race up there, out of breath.

The days when we couldn't be together changed the memory of you...

...into a happy one, like seeing your photograph.

Madoka! Come on, hurry up!

I just dance in the sweet memories The pain I suffered...

I just dance in the sweet memories...

Having a hot spring right in your own home is great, huh!

Hey, what're you staring at me like that for, Hikaru?

You look thinner when you're dressed, Madoka!

What?

You don't look at all like a junior high school student!

Now cut that out!

Gotcha!

Hikaru, why you...!

Hmm, I wonder where the shampoo is?

Oh, thank you!

Hey, hey!

If you wanted to get in the bath with me, you shoulda just said so, Darling!

What are you doing here, Kasuga?

Right now we're at my grandfather's house...

So how's our hot spring? Warms you right to the bone, doesn't it?

The water was really great! Look, my skin is all nice and smooth now!

Yeah, nice and smooth! Right, right!

Say, you know! Kurumi, Manami, you ought to take a bath, too!

We'll get in later, ourselves... okay?

Go on, get in, you two...

I think we're gonna use the bath last!

"Gakun:" The sound of great disappointment.

Eh...? Rats!

All right! Let's ski all day tomorrow!

But this resort has only one lift, so if it's crowded, it'll sure be a pain...

Lift? You don't need one of those.

Kyosuke, you can use your power to take everyone...

"Power?"

He's just kidding around!

Old folks... always trying to crack jokes with young people...

Wow, Darling! That's amazing!

And n... now it's Kyosuke who's trying to be funny!

But for a ski resort as nice as this one...

...there really didn't seem to be that much of a crowd.

None of the locals go skiing there...

...especially young people.

W... Wait... Wh... What are you trying to say?

Before you go skiing on that mountain, there is one thing I must tell you.

Kyosuke!

Y... Yes?

Which one is your girlfriend?

Come on! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Grampa, please...!

What's that got to do with skiing?

W... Well, it happens to have a great deal to do with it.

If one of them is your girlfriend, you mustn't ski together.

We can't go skiing with the ones we love?

That's right.

Grampa, you don't mean...?

Kyosuke, I've told you the story before, right?

Yeah...

What is it, Kasuga?

Uh...

The legend of nakedness that has been handed down in this village.

"Nakedness?!"

Y... You mean nudity?!

Grampa! That's just an old superstition, right?

Well, if you value your lives...

...you should pay more heed to what your elders tell you.

Kasuga... what's this superstition?

Uh... well...

All right, everybody. Why don't we turn in for the night?

The beds have all been prepared.

H... Hey, w... what...

Here!

G... Grandma!

Oh, is this girl the one, then?

Th... That's not what I mean...!

Oh, then the three of you together?

You take after your Grampa!

Geez...! Don't joke around like that, Grandma!

Madoka! You're incredible!

Let's all go ski together!

Well, Kyosuke's still kinda worried, though.

You know, about the nakedness legend, Madoka.

Oh, that? But that's just a superstition, right?

Yeah... at least, I think so...

But it makes you worry a bit, huh...

I mean, couples in love that go together will surely have some mishap...

Right! And naked too!

They'll be discovered completely naked, so the legend goes...

That's right, Madoka. And it's also said that they'll both have died...

...with a look of absolute terror on their faces, as if they'd seen a ghost!

Cut that out, Hikaru...

Hey, scared you, huh?

You're really a sucker for these kinds of stories, you know.

Hey now, Hikaru...!

Well, whatever the case, better safe than sorry.

Madoka! Ski with me today! Hikaru should go with some other...

Hold it, Yuusaku! What do you think you're doing?

Darling... I'm afraid it looks like we'll have to be apart for a little while...

Madoka! Look after Darling for me!

H... Hikaru...!

Let's go, Yuusaku!

Hikaru...!

Now what? This means I can't go skiing with Kurumi or Manami, either!

Looks like there's no need to worry about that...

Look at him ski!

What a natural!

Kurumi! Manami!

Hey, wait for me!

Well, let's go ski, Ayukawa!

W... Wait, don't get too close to me!

What? Why not?

Huh?

Well, okay... let's go, then!

Hey, wait!

Th... That's right! I can't ski!

Damn it! Gotta use my power...

Wait up, Ayukawa!

Catch me if you can!

Damn! Hey you...!

Wait up, Ayukawa!

Kasuga! You're pretty good, aren't you?

I am if I use my power...

There! Caught up with you!

Y... You all right?

"Couples in love simply mustn't go to the ski area together."

Ayukawa...

An avalanche?!

Oh no!

We gotta hide!

There!

We're safe...

But now we're trapped in here.

I guess we really are...

What?

Nothing...

What's that?

They're just bats...

We can't easily dig through snow this thick...

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

And with Ayukawa here, I can't just use my power to get us out...

Kasuga, there's something strange about this cave...

Huh?

It's hot...

What?

"When they're found..."

"...it's said they died naked, even though it's the dead of winter..."

Ayukawa...
