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.

THE SCENERY I WANTED TO SEE WITH YOU

- Here we are. - Look, the traffic light.

- I can almost reach it. - It's right there.

Wow!

King & Prince are visiting…

Wow.

…the West Coast of the United States.

Los Angeles is situated in southern California.

The two members of King & Prince are in LA,

the entertainment capital of the world.

They will be completing all sorts of missions in this city.

But for the moment, they're taking in the city in blissful ignorance.

I'm craving SPAM musubi.

That's Hawaiian food.

- I could go for a spam musubi. - That's Hawaiian.

Oh, snap! Duck!

That was a close call.

THEY CATCH THE DOUBLE-DECKER BUS TO THEIR DESTINATION

I love the view.

We're looking down on the streets of LA.

This bus isn't that tall.

What a nice breeze.

- How nice. - It feels…

There's quite a few murals in urban areas.

You've gotta have shades.

It's so bright.

- The sun's blinding. - You're right.

If we go to the beach, I bet we'll see…

A bunch of people roller-skating shirtless.

- I remember that. - Yeah.

IN 2020, King & Prince CAME OUT TO LA TO TRAIN.

The last time we were in LA was, what,

five years ago?

I'd say.

We came to LA to record some tracks.

We went to the beach then too.

- We sure did. - We filmed at the beach.

Look at that.

- What a view. - How nice.

The view is incredible!

Look at the sunlight.

- It's sparkly. - What a pretty view.

It's shining, right?

What a beautiful cityscape.

It's barely noon and the sun's blazing down on us.

I bet the view gets even better at dusk.

I bet it's magnificent.

It doesn't get any better than this.

This is the life.

Amazing.

We're flying by rows of palm trees as if they were street lamps.

Near… Near ocean.

Also, I spotted chestnuts earlier.

- Chestnuts? - I meant squirrels.

How'd you mix up "chestnuts" and "squirrels"?

Make it make sense.

It got jumbled up in my head.

The first mission awaits at…

Here comes the beach!

- Santa Monica Pier? - Santa Monica Pier.

Fifteen minutes till the mission starts.

I love how there's music playing through the whole city.

Same.

Santa Monica… This it?

Are we here?

Cool!

Yo.

It feels like we're much closer to the sun out here.

- Yeah. It's blinding. - Right?

Here we are.

Yo.

- That rapping was dope. - Have we arrived?

- This must be Santa Monica Pier. - Here we are.

A POPULAR WATERFRONT SPOT BUSTLING WITH SHOPS AND RIDES

- We made it. - Wow!

This is legit.

The view is phenomenal from here.

This is incredible.

Wow.

Who thought of building a theme park on the waterfront? It's impressive.

- It's built on top of the water. - They're a genius.

I love how colorful these buildings are.

It's time for the mission.

- Huh? - What?

I got a message.

Look at that.

I have a message from "Mission-san."

So did I.

Mission.

"Meet up"

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

What does it mean?

Isn't that, like, in an hour?

Wait, what? That's in an hour.

We're meeting up at a secret location at 4:00?

Does that mean we're going separate ways for now?

Please don't go.

I want to keep walking around with you.

We barely just got here.

I want to walk around with him.

And what's with this "secret location"?

Will there be clues along the way?

If we split up,

these phones are our only forms of communication.

The theme for this trip is "meet-up."

The two will be separated,

and their feelings for each other will be tested.

How will King & Prince's meet-up turn out?

King & Prince's MEET-UP

Well then…

Wait, we're parting ways already? Seriously?

Really?

Goodbye for now.

Sure, bye, but…

What am I supposed to do now?

Seriously, what do we do?

I don't mean to protest, but...

We've picked out a few spots you two might enjoy.

- You have? - Yes.

Oh, so we explore separately, and…

Uh…

- All right then. - That came out of nowhere.

That was unexpected.

- Well, see you. - Bye.

Goodbye. I'll see you later.

Okay.

I hope I can find you.

We don't even know where the meet-up will be.

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

- See ya. - Bye.

Mission-san will send a separate message later…

"SEE YOU LATER"

…disclosing the meet-up spot.

Until then, Ren and Kaito are free to explore the pier on their own.

REN AND KAITO WILL EXPLORE ON THEIR OWN UNTIL MISSION TIME

Welp, this is already fun.

I wish I had sunglasses.

Can I buy a pair somewhere?

There are tons of vendors here.

How fun.

What's that? "Playland"?

Oh, what?

Is that an arcade?

Wowza!

This place rocks!

This is so neat!

PLAYLAND HAS OVER 150 ARCADE GAMES

It's filled with all sorts of games.

Crane machines outside of Japan don't take coins.

Do they take bills instead?

- Oh, it takes cards. - Not coins.

Not coins though.

That's heavy.

I wonder if it actually shoots. Can I try this one?

Arr!

Ready to shoot!

Let's see if I'm a sharpshooter.

Damn, this is hard.

Game's over, landlubber.

It's above my skill level.

I couldn't react in time.

I only scored seven points.

What's this one?

I fudged it!

- Forty-six points! - Right on!

Pretty good, huh?

- I was so close! - You were close!

That game was a blast.

I want to play it with Kaito.

Know what, though?

I wish Kaito were here…

Then we could play air hockey together.

Wow. This is incredible.

The beach goes on forever.

Just look at this ocean.

This takes me back. About five years ago,

we came to LA as King & Prince.

I remember

we hung out at that park.

Now, I'm in my feels.

I love the ocean.

It makes my heart melt.

This view just melts my heart.
