Days (TV)

When I was five, this cat we owned disappeared one day.

My dad's fatal accident wasn't long after that.

That's just life, I figured.

But maybe life isn't about counting all the things you've lost.

I've come to the conclusion...

that life is about increasing the number of important things in it.

I have people around me who have taught me that.

My precious friends, and the game of soccer I love...

In order to connect these gleaming days to the future...

we are going to win here today!

Cheers!

Good job, everyone.

Good job.

So good!

It's been a while since we all had soda.

Where are the others?

They'll probably show up soon.

These are the bomb.

You had them before?

Who's that?

Mizuki. It's definitely Mizuki.

You're late, asshole!

Huh?

Ah, I'm sorry!

It's fine.

I'm not injured.

Your nose is bleeding...

Glad to see you on this auspicious day.

What the hell are you wearing?

I heard there was a party.

Are you serious?

Huh? There's no party?

It's fine.

Mizuki's rocking that look.

You said it.

How's your leg?

I can't even remember which one I injured.

Sounds just like you.

Anyway, good job.

At this point, your leg injury's a running joke, isn't it?

Is it? A lot of people were pissed at me for a while.

So we lost, huh?

Yeah. We lost.

Mizuki!

Kasahara!

What are you doing out there, being all emo?!

I Won't Let Anyone Be Disappointed Again

I'll walk you to the station.

I was trying to sneak away quietly.

Tsukamoto's shot cannoned back off the post.

It was so close.

It wasn't his fault at all.

I know.

We lost because we couldn't power home the rebound.

A train is now approaching platform number two.

It will be stopping at every station between here and Shinjuku.

Are you going to keep playing soccer?

Please stand behind the yellow line.

Yeah, I'll keep playing.

On grass, or on whatever surface.

But I'll probably never play it competitively again.

You reckon you could have finished that?

Who knows? I don't.

No, actually... I would have scored it, 100%.

We practiced shooting enough to make sure of it.

Don't you think?

You're right.

But I might not have had the legs to even get myself into that situation.

We only got that chance because Tsukamoto carved it out.

Anyway, bye.

Yeah...

Don't worry about me. Take care of Tsukamoto and Kazama.

They're the jewels in Seiseki's crown.

Yeah.

Kasahara...

No, never mind.

All right.

"Never mind..." huh?

That's just like him.

Dammit...

Seriously...

I knew you'd show up, Kazama-kun!

That text was kinda out of the blue.

Well, this business trip to Tokyo was a bit last minute...

And these guys just wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

I asked Tsukamoto-kun to come, too, but he told me he couldn't.

Sounded pretty down.

He's the shy sort, though, right?

Guess I was being a bother.

Actually, he got his heart broken yesterday, and he's hit rock bottom.

What? Heartbroken?

I see.

Ah, youth!

I'm gonna cry!

Let's invite him again next time.

Forgive me, Tsukushi...

Salaryman team, you're up!

All right, let's do this!

Let's do this for Tsukamoto-kun.

Right, Kazama-kun?

Right.

Don't get overexcited and wear yourself out.

Happens every time.

Shut it.

We're almost out of time!

This is our last chance!

Kazama drew them away!

He's totally free!

Go!

No!

It's not over!

If we get the rebound...

Kaoru, we did it!

Yeah, we did, Shuuji!

What's up with you today?

You're kinda scary.

I-I'm sorry...

So that's what happened in yesterday's game.

My bad. I shouldn't have invited you.

No, this was a good change of pace.

I'm glad you did.

That's good, I guess.

I don't really understand it myself, though.

I wonder what this feeling is.

I feel like I can't calm down or something.

Oh, I've lost plenty of games in the past.

But this doesn't feel like those other times.

Like, I'm still irritated, or I just can't settle...

Ugh, I can't put it into words.

This has never happened before. It's a nasty feeling.

What's so funny?

That's exactly how I felt when my promotion got delayed

because I failed to close a deal.

Huh?

That's how you feel when you get really frustrated about something.

It's good that you got into Seiseki, Kazama-kun.

The Seiseki soccer team...

...is the first place I've ever wanted to be.

Why... are you here?

I came to see you.

The Seiseki soccer team is the first place I've ever wanted to be.

You finally found a place where you belong.

I see.

I never saw it like that before.

Kazama!

How many times do I have to tell you?

Keep your ego on a leash!

You never think about the team!

Pass already...

What a show-off.

I've lost with other teams, but defeat has never felt like this before.

Kazama, you can feel it pulsing today, can't you?

Nothing that comes out of the captain's mouth ever makes sense.

Go get us some ice cream.
