Nakaizumi : The MotorSuns missed out on their first Climax Series by a hair's breadth last night, |
(0:01:33.93) |
Nakaizumi : but today's the last game of the season. |
(0:01:40.83) |
Nakaizumi : Let's buck up and give it our best with a smile! |
(0:01:43.38) |
Nakaizumi : Hey, how long are you gonna cry?! |
(0:01:47.52) |
Ruriko : I-I'm not crying! |
(0:01:50.47) |
Ruriko : I just woke up this morning... |
(0:01:54.10) |
Ruriko : and I couldn't hold back... the frustration... |
(0:01:58.44) |
Ruriko : But I'm not crying, okay?! |
(0:02:03.02) |
Nakaizumi : How is Aona going to make her announcement with you bawling like that? |
(0:02:07.13) |
Ruriko : Aona's making an announcement? |
(0:02:12.88) |
Aona : I passed my teacher's exam! |
(0:02:17.16) |
Sara : Hey, I'm really happy for you, but does that mean... |
(0:02:23.54) |
Aona : Yeah. |
(0:02:26.96) |
Aona : After this season—in other words, after today— |
(0:02:27.85) |
Aona : I won't be a vendor girl anymore. |
(0:02:30.55) |
Aona : Thanks for taking care of me these past four years! |
(0:02:33.12) |
Sara : No, Aona! Don't leave us! |
(0:02:39.27) |
Aona : C'mon, Sara. I'll still come by to see you. |
(0:02:42.22) |
Kokoro : Congrats, Aona. |
(0:02:45.16) |
Aona : Yeah. You work hard, too, Kokoro. |
(0:02:46.94) |
Aona : I'm rooting for you. |
(0:02:50.00) |
Kohinata : Well done, Aona. |
(0:02:52.24) |
Aona : Thank you for looking after me, Kohinata. |
(0:02:55.29) |
Ruriko : Aona! |
(0:03:00.53) |
Aona : Come on, Ruriko... |
(0:03:03.50) |
Ruriko : I don't want you to go! |
(0:03:05.69) |
Aona : Oh, you're all such crybabies! |
(0:03:08.04) |
Nakaizumi : It's inevitable for the ones you hire in college, |
(0:03:11.63) |
Nakaizumi : but it's still sad to see them go. |
(0:03:14.11) |
Omatsu : Today's my last day, too, but it's hard to bring it up now... |
(0:03:17.22) |
Murata : This turned out to be a really special season. |
(0:04:01.55) |
Murata : We got to dream of the chance to make the playoffs, which was tons of fun. |
(0:04:04.81) |
Murata : And most of all... |
(0:04:09.98) |
Ruriko : Hey, you're looking like a man in need of a beer. |
(0:04:12.94) |
Murata : R-Ruriko! |
(0:04:18.66) |
Ruriko : What's got you so worked up? |
(0:04:21.18) |
Ruriko : I didn't catch you thinking about me
, did I? |
(0:04:23.22) |
Ruriko : Goodness me! |
(0:04:26.25) |
Murata : N-N-No, it wasn't that... |
(0:04:26.25) |
Ruriko : That'll be 700 yen. |
(0:04:29.24) |
Murata : She doesn't even wait for me to ask anymore. |
(0:04:30.66) |
Ruriko : Guess it's the end of the season now... |
(0:04:37.08) |
Murata : Yeah. That means you vendors are off until next spring, too, huh? |
(0:04:40.18) |
Murata : I guess it's not just the players, but everyone who works here |
(0:04:49.21) |
Murata : who deserves our appreciation. |
(0:04:53.35) |
Ruriko : Oh, giving me my flowers, huh? |
(0:04:57.50) |
Ruriko : So kind of you! |
(0:05:00.21) |
Murata : O-One more, please! |
(0:05:04.09) |
Ruriko : You're bold today, mister! |
(0:05:05.91) |
Ruriko : Yes! Perfectly balanced! |
(0:05:11.83) |
Ruriko : Hey, gimme your empty cup. |
(0:05:18.22) |
Murata : What, this? |
(0:05:21.70) |
Ruriko : Now, everyone, attention please! |
(0:05:31.69) |
Murata : F-For what? |
(0:05:34.74) |
Ruriko : Cheers! |
(0:05:37.31) |
Ruriko : Get it? |
(0:05:41.69) |
Ruriko : You did a great job cheering this season. |
(0:05:44.41) |
Ruriko : You deserve your flowers, too! |
(0:05:48.35) |

(0:07:13.05) |
Nakaizumi : Hello? |
(0:07:21.80) |
Nakaizumi : Oh, new vendor girls for next year? |
(0:07:23.17) |
Nakaizumi : Yes, we definitely need one. |
(0:07:27.17) |
Nakaizumi : What? Pink hair? |
(0:07:31.18) |
Nakaizumi : Well... I'm not sure our standards... |
(0:07:34.88) |
Ruriko : 'Sup, 'sup, 'sup! |
(0:07:40.16) |
Nakaizumi : If they can laugh and cry with their staffmates and fans, |
(0:07:43.51) |
Nakaizumi : that's the only requirement! |
(0:07:46.70) |
Nakaizumi : Sounds like we might have an interesting new girl next season. |
(0:07:51.90) |
Kokoro : Now to announce... |
(0:07:57.03) |

(0:08:13.53) |
Kohinata : It's been years since I bought a swimsuit! |
(0:08:16.56) |
Aona : Ruriko? |
(0:08:21.86) |
Aona : Why are you crying now? |
(0:08:23.45) |
Ruriko : I'm so happy, but I'll also miss you guys... |
(0:08:25.58) |
Ruriko : Don't ask me, okay?! |
(0:08:28.99) |
Aona : Oh, you! |
(0:08:34.27) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : Wh-Why did they dress me as a vendor girl? |
(0:10:36.57) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : They made
me! |
(0:10:42.41) |
Kazuma Shishio : It looks great on you, Wataru! |
(0:10:44.18) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : Who came up with this crazy idea?! |
(0:10:49.90) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : Someone's excited. |
(0:11:04.39) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : Yagino... |
(0:11:06.31) |
Kazuma Shishio : That guy just loves a party. |
(0:11:07.70) |
Dennis Young : I never knew Yagino had such a positive attitude... |
(0:11:20.01) |
Kazuma Shishio : Well, we'd better be on our way. |
(0:11:25.53) |
Wataru Ichinomiya : The hottie squad gets their own special segment. |
(0:11:33.84) |

(0:11:53.51) |
Kazuma Shishio : Sorry. |
(0:12:01.10) |
Retto Mitsui : I'm sorry we couldn't win! |
(0:12:58.51) |
Dennis Young : Ganbarimasu! |
(0:13:20.43) |
Dennis Young : I-I just stuck around for the sightseeing. |
(0:13:30.01) |
Murata : The players really come alive the most when they're playing, huh? |
(0:13:39.68) |
Ruriko : So do you, mister. |
(0:13:44.15) |
Nagisa Satou : Our exhibition match has reached its final inning! |
(0:13:46.16) |

(0:14:27.35) |

(0:14:42.94) |

Nagisa Satou : to pass along a message to today's pinch hitter. |
(0:14:46.82) |

(0:14:53.00) |
Nagisa Satou : From Kojiro. |
(0:15:00.29) |
Nagisa Satou : "I'm going to work not to get injured and get even better, so please watch over me." |

Nagisa Satou : "When I made a mistake that tanked a game, |
(0:15:27.26) |

(0:16:09.24) |
Nagisa Satou : From Yagino. |
(0:16:11.76) |
Nagisa Satou : Well, I'm sure you've figured it out by now! |
(0:16:20.27) |
Nagisa Satou : Our pinch hitter today, stepping down this season, |
(0:16:23.53) |
Nagisa Satou : Manager Tadahiro Matsudo! |
(0:16:27.49) |
Ruriko : At last... |
(0:17:15.39) |
Ruriko : At last, at last... |
(0:17:17.50) |
Ruriko : At last! |
(0:17:19.42) |
Ruriko : It's baseball's opening day! |
(0:17:21.38) |
Ruriko : It's opening day, everyone! |
(0:17:24.19) |
Ruriko : Are we all excited?! |
(0:17:26.97) |
Ruriko : Hey there, new security guy! |
(0:17:31.24) |
Ruriko : Opening day, huh? |
(0:17:33.99) |
Takimoto : You again? |
(0:17:35.80) |
Takimoto : I see you haven't lost any of that energy. |
(0:17:37.06) |
Ruriko : Of course I haven't! |
(0:17:39.04) |
Ruriko : It's opening day, man! Opening! Day! |
(0:17:40.68) |
Takimoto : It's the fourth game for the team, though. |
(0:17:43.31) |
Kokoro : It feels good to be back in this uniform! |
(0:17:52.44) |
Kohinata : Totally! |
(0:17:56.78) |
Sara : I'm getting kind of nervous! |
(0:17:57.98) |
Kokoro : Ruriko? |
(0:18:01.39) |
Kokoro : You look a little dejected. What's up? |
(0:18:02.74) |
Ruriko : You shouldn't get so excited. |
(0:18:05.68) |
Ruriko : The team's already played three games. |
(0:18:08.30) |
Ruriko : It's just another day. We should treat it that way. |
(0:18:11.83) |
Kokoro : She's talking like a veteran ballplayer. |
(0:18:15.82) |
Sara : I think it's because opening day here won't be their first game. |
(0:18:19.24) |
Kokoro : Yeah... the MotorSuns' opening day was at Genesis Dome, right? |
(0:18:23.84) |
Ruriko : Why'd you bring that up?! |
(0:18:29.23) |
Ruriko : Bad girl, Sara! |
(0:18:30.88) |
Nakaizumi : The top-placing teams from three years ago get dibs on the opening day home stands. |
(0:18:33.61) |
Nakaizumi : We've never hosted an opening day. |
(0:18:38.95) |
Ruriko : So even if we place in the top half this season, |
(0:18:44.57) |
Ruriko : we won't get an opening day home game until way in the future! |
(0:18:47.10) |
Kohinata : It's still their first day, just at MotorSuns Stadium. |
(0:18:50.44) |
Kohinata : Right? |
(0:18:55.17) |
Ruriko : Yeah, but... |
(0:18:56.03) |
Ruriko : You know... You know... |
(0:18:58.02) |
Kohinata : Come on, cheer up! |
(0:19:00.49) |
Kohinata : Rah! Rah! Rah! |
(0:19:02.70) |
Ruriko : Rah. |
(0:19:06.89) |
Murata : I was so excited for our first game, I ended up going to Genesis Dome. |
(0:19:11.88) |
Murata : But MotorSuns Stadium is still where it's at! |
(0:19:17.35) |
Murata : I feel so relaxed. It's like coming home. |
(0:19:21.24) |
Murata : But Kiritani, the new manager, made some serious changes to the order. |
(0:19:25.91) |
Murata : We got a strong 2-1 start against last year's winners, the Genesis, |
(0:19:31.81) |
Murata : but you never know where a season will take you. |
(0:19:36.49) |
Murata : Maybe I'll drink a beer to perk up, and then... |
(0:19:40.40) |
Ruriko : Show some respect! |
(0:19:47.62) |
Murata : Ruriko! |
(0:19:50.37) |
Murata : She's a vendor again this year? |
(0:19:51.64) |
Murata : H-Hey. It's been a while. |
(0:19:56.05) |
Ruriko : Hey, it's you, mister! |
(0:19:59.39) |
Ruriko : Been a while. |
(0:20:01.62) |
Murata : Um... I'd like a beer. |
(0:20:02.88) |
Ruriko : How many games have you been to? |
(0:20:07.79) |
Murata : Y-You mean this season? |
(0:20:09.62) |
Ruriko : Yeah. |
(0:20:13.12) |
Murata : Well... I went to opening day in Saitama, |
(0:20:14.03) |
Murata : so this is my second... I guess. |
(0:20:18.35) |
Murata : But this is gonna be a great game— |
(0:20:21.52) |
Ruriko : Huh... I see. |
(0:20:23.42) |
Ruriko : I bet those Saitama beers tasted pretty great, huh? |
(0:20:26.49) |
Ruriko : And I bet you bought from a "sweetness and light" vendor, the type you like. |
(0:20:34.34) |
Murata : Well... |
(0:20:39.50) |
Ruriko : I bet you're not even thinking about the game today. |
(0:20:40.79) |
Murata : I-I just... |
(0:20:44.20) |
Murata : Th-Thanks. |
(0:20:47.22) |
Murata : Um... Ruriko... |
(0:20:49.84) |
Ruriko : What? |
(0:20:51.90) |
Murata : I didn't buy any. |
(0:20:54.55) |
Murata : I didn't drink at Genesis Dome, |
(0:21:01.23) |
Murata : so this is my opening beer. |
(0:21:04.00) |
Ruriko : That so? |
(0:21:11.49) |
Murata : Yes. |
(0:21:12.95) |
Ruriko : Go on, then. |
(0:21:15.64) |
Murata : R-Right. Thank you. |
(0:21:17.10) |
Ruriko : Fireworks! |
(0:21:46.44) |
Murata : What a show! |
(0:21:47.96) |
Nakaizumi : Hey, fireworks! |
(0:21:52.20) |
Nakaizumi : They're going all-in on this season! |
(0:21:54.94) |
Nakaizumi : Well, we've got quite a few eccentrics on our team already. |
(0:22:05.48) |
Nakaizumi : We'll do our best to support you. |
(0:22:12.92) |
Ruriko : It's opening day! |
(0:23:02.35) |
Ruriko : What? |
(0:23:09.09) |
Murata : Uh, nothing. |
(0:23:10.57) |
Murata : Yeah, this is just the start. |
(0:23:14.11) |
Ruriko : Would anyone like a Hyper Dry? |
(0:23:29.68) |
Ruriko : Ice-cold beer! |
(0:23:33.56) |
Ruriko : Would anyone like a Hyper Dry? |
(0:23:35.27) |
Ruriko : On my way! |
(0:23:40.82) |
Ruriko : Thank you so much! |
(0:23:42.05) |
