A Star Brighter than the Sun (2025) s01e07 Episode Script
Sun-Shower
Kamishiro's sitting closer
than I expected.
Oh, um Your P.E. jacket
Keep it on.
I'm so hot right now, so I'm fine.
He rushed over here
-Towel
-Towel
Sorr
I'm sorr
We're so in sync.
His jacket is baggy around my shoulders,
and I thought
my shoulders were pretty thick.
You still treat me the same way you did
back in elementary school, Iwata.
Huh?
You think I'm a little kid, don't you?
I don't think that at all.
Yeah, you totally do.
You just don't realize it.
You were worried about me catching a cold.
You wouldn't treat other guys like that.
I mean
I guess it's not easy to overwrite
the image you have of me
from elementary school.
I don't think that.
I see you as a high schooler.
You're too cool, it's a problem.
HUNGRY ANIMALS
SALT LEMON FLAVOR
Have you tried this new snack?
What? Oh, not yet.
I saw the ad on TV
and wanted to try it, though.
Summer means lemon and salt, right?
You can have it.
HIS IDEA OF MY HAPPINESS = SNACKS
Isn't Kamishiro the one
who thinks I'm still in elementary school?
Good, right?
Yeah, Kamishiro's definitely the one
who thinks that.
EPISODE 7
SUN-SHOWER
I am a Cowardly Lion,
afraid of
everything!
He's so cute.
Maybe I should try to act it out
a bit more?
Back in elementary school, we were always
cast as trees and stuff. Both of us.
I remember that.
We were a big tree and a little tree.
But I'm giving this my all.
Can I try again?
I'll do it standing.
Sure.
I like you as the tree,
and I like you as the Cowardly Lion.
Kamishiro, you kept getting better.
Really?
Well, I did put in a lot of effort.
But I never once told him
that I like him.
Kamishiro thinks
my attitude toward him hasn't changed.
It's not getting through to him.
English isn't my thing,
but it's not like I hate it or anything.
I'm super excited
about the new Spy"D"-Man movie.
Oh, the swings. It's been forever.
Because I haven't told him.
Hey, look, Iwata!
I'm too big to stand on this now.
Kamishiro.
That movie you were talking about
I want to go see it with you!
Oh, is this
It's a no?
Is this going to be turned down?
Like, we're friends,
but not that kind of friends?
When do you want to go?
Huh?
Have you seen all the previous
Spy"D"-Man movies?
Oh, um maybe not the older ones
But I'll catch up!
Maybe over summer break?
Huh?
I'm not sure about my club schedule yet,
so can we check in again
after the Eng Fest?
Sure.
Okay, I'll text you.
Welcome home.
Thank goodness.
I thought my heart would stop beating.
I'm so happy!
Kamishiro suddenly got a lot better.
You really did, Kamishiro!
Shall we move on to the next scene?
Yeah.
Let's start by checking the positions.
Oh, yeah.
That's a tree.
That really looks like a tree.
Props team, how's it going?
Izawa's somehow taking the lead again.
The costumes and props
are coming along nicely.
Let's do our best, too!
Yeah.
I hope it goes well.
Hopefully,
it turns out the way Kamishiro wants,
and he becomes confident and courageous,
just like the Lion in the story.
Sui, you look adorable!
You look great in light blue!
Thanks!
-Love this frilly part.
-So cute.
Is this ruching?
That's what it's called?
You're so smart, Kagawa!
Even dressed in black,
my size makes me stand out.
The stage is bigger than I thought.
Black makes his lean build pop.
Do you want to hide
behind the tree or the rock?
Uh, the rock.
Iwata.
I don't want to be rude to the people
who put a lot of effort into this,
but don't I look like a parabolic antenna?
He's close!
That really suits you.
The parabolic antenna does?
Do you see it, too, Ayukawa?
That concludes the play by Class 1-C.
Class 1-A, please begin setting up.
All right, follow me!
Let's give it everything we've got!
What's with Izawa?
Yushin is something else.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO PRIZE?
Kamishiro's not stumbling at all.
He must've kept practicing since then.
He's really cool.
Hey, knock it off.
Why are they right up against the stage?
I'M WATCHING YOU!!
Iwata!
Man, that surprised me!
What happened, Iwa?
Um
I thought Sui was going to fall
off the stage and
I wasn't going to.
Yeah.
Sorry, I ruined the performance.
Don't be! I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
Iwa, I need a hand!
Coming!
I'll go break down the set pieces.
Okay.
We're going to go get changed.
Kamishiro came to me.
He came to me,
not caring what others thought.
He helped me even with everyone watching.
Think they're still working?
-Let's go help out.
-Yeah!
Man
I would've gotten a shot up her skirt
if the big one hadn't butted in.
What
That girl with the braids
is totally my type.
Why not go for it?
Say what?
Iwa!
During the play,
someone tried to take an upskirt, right?
Huh? How did you
We walked past some third-years
who were talking about it
And, uh, Kamishiro totally lost it,
and he's in the nurse's office!
Sorry, can you take this?
Iwa!
NURSE'S OFFICE
Kamishiro!
-Knock, please!
-Oh yes, I'm sorr
They're saying
you suddenly threw the first punch.
Don't you have anything to say?
Silence doesn't help.
You could get suspended, you know?
Teach
Hang on, teacher.
Koki's not at fault.
Some guys from my class messed
with a first-year girl,
and that's why Koki got angry.
Why are you here, Kamishiro? Oh, I see.
You two are siblings?
Nope.
We're cousins.
I see. I guess we should check with them.
Third-year Kamishiro,
can we leave him to you?
Okay! Thanks, teacher.
She feels like someone out of my reach.
You're such a kid, Koki.
Boop.
What'll you tell Auntie?
Justified self-defense.
That's not how you use that term.
Iwata.
Thanks for coming.
I checked the movie schedules.
I'll text you later.
Okay.
Isn't that the girl
you were swinging the rope with?
Are you going to a movie?
Yeah.
With your friends?
No, just the two of us.
Huh
-Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!
-Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!
The girl the protagonist
has always had a crush on
MOM, BIG SIS IS SNACKING BEFORE DINNER
Isn't she kind of mean?
Is this the kind of girl Kamishiro likes?
We're cousins.
She was petite.
She was pretty.
She seemed close with the teachers,
and she rescued Kamishiro
like a superhero.
To me, she's like a star
that shines brighter than the sun.
Maybe he had already found his star
when I met him.
GOLD PRIZE
SUBARU KAMISHIRO
She's really good at painting.
And she's smart.
She seems to be good at everything.
Iwa, are you free this Sunday?
The class was thinking
about having a post-Eng-Fest party.
All-you-can-eat yakiniku barbecue.
Oh, that sounds like fun.
I know, right?
We've got a class group chat now.
Can I invite you, too?
Oh, sure.
Huh? You've got a match, Kamishiro?
Yeah, sorry.
Seriously?
I see. So Kamishiro won't be there.
Are you going, Iwata?
You bet Iwa is!
With us.
Can I show up a bit late?
-Sure.
-Sure.
Then, count me in.
I'll head over as soon as our game's done.
Okay.
You'll be starving after the game.
You'll probably get your money's worth.
I'm a pretty big eater.
You might be surprised, Iwata.
Kamishiro's cheeks
were still a little red.
YAKINIKU BARBECUE
Great job at the Eng Fest, everyone!
It wasn't a ranked competition,
but to me, this class totally won!
Kagawa, you're wearing contacts!
-Everyone has a drink?
-Great job, prompter.
Thanks.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Sui, want to dance?
I do!
-Want me to be the photographer?
-Thanks!
Oh, that's Iwa for you!
Can I have this meat?
Yeah, let's dig in.
-Meat!
-Meat!
30 MEMBERS
Aren't you joining the fun over there?
I'm having fun watching them.
Oh, me too.
It's nice to see
people having fun, isn't it?
Thanks for your help at Eng Fest.
You made things easier for me.
Same to you. I didn't feel nervous at all,
thanks to you.
Huh?
You were so calm and reliable,
and that reassured me.
Really?
I saw Kamishiro help you.
Well, yeah, we're friends.
You two went
to the same junior high, right?
Elementary school, too.
That's a long history.
You guys seem close.
I went to a junior high far away,
and I live in the dorm,
so I don't really know anyone.
Now that you mention it,
where are you from?
Middle of nowhere.
A bear once wrecked
my classmate's washing machine.
What? Your washing machines are outside?
Yeah.
It's totally different
from the world I know.
Why did you choose this school?
Because there are no pool classes.
Pool
There's no pool? I didn't know that.
But that's good news for me.
I get self-conscious in a swimsuit.
But just because of that?
I'm really skinny and can't gain weight
no matter how much I eat.
I've always been insecure about that.
I wish I had that problem
But yeah, Ayukawa's body is really thin.
And I have a big build.
I work out, but my arms never bulk up.
Why are you
I thought you wanted to compare our arms.
He laughed.
Iwata, Ayukawa, great job prompting.
Oh, yeah.
Great job to the cast members, too.
You two were running together
during the school trip, right?
Just wondering are you guys dating?
We're not, are we?
We're not, right?
Oh, really?
But you two look like a perfect match.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Hey.
Stop messing around like that.
We're not in elementary school anymore.
I feel like you're annoying them.
It's okay, I'm not annoyed.
Is everyone done eating?
Did something happen?
I I'll go get some meat!
Let's go all out!
-Loin!
-Short ribs!
CRAZY DELICIOUS LOIN
CRAZY DELICIOUS SHORT RIBS
Kamishiro didn't overhear that, did he?
I'm not annoyed.
I don't really get Ayukawa.
I can't tell what he's thinking.
Maybe he's just nice?
Isn't this already cooked?
No, it's raw. You can't eat it, it's pork.
I even like just watching
Kamishiro talk to people.
It feels like the whole place lights up
when Kamishiro's there.
So bitter!
It is overcooked, isn't it?
I thought maybe you liked it really burnt,
so I was just watching.
I was zoning out.
yeah.
"yeah"?
Was there a bit of a pause?
They said time's up.
Speech!
Speech? Me? Well, if you insist
Main cast, come up front!
Iwa!
You too. And Ayukawa.
Quick words from all, lead goes first!
I was so happy with the cute costume!
Thanks, everyone! Love you all!
Wow, Sui nailed it.
I was pretty bad at it,
but with everyone's help,
I managed to make it through
Kamishiro, you did great!
Well done! Turn this way!
Thank you to everyone who helped me!
Next up, our two prompters
don't want to say anything.
Well, that's fine!
Thanks.
Yeah.
What's going on with that eye contact?
And are you guys low-key dressed to match?
Why not just start dating?
You're giving off married-couple vibes.
Izawa!
Izawa.
I don't really have the immunity
for that kind of teasing.
Stop it.
Oh okay. Right.
Sorry, Iwa.
Lower your fist?
You're scaring me, Iwa.
Okay.
HOKKAIDO DEVELOPMENT MEMORIAL STONE
All right, let's split up here.
See you at school.
Get home safe.
Yeah, bye-bye.
Things happen, whether I like it or not,
but I won't let them get to me.
That phase ended with junior high.
You get off at the last station,
Kamishiro?
Okay, see ya.
-See you later, Iwa.
-Laters.
Yeah.
Just 15 minutes until our station.
Just the two of us.
Everyone was so loud.
That was fun.
Oh, look, Iwata.
What do you like
about this movie series, Kamishiro?
Huh? What do I like about them?
Never thought about it.
He never thought about it?
Hmm
He's thinking about it.
You know, the protagonist starts off weak
but gets stronger.
I guess I want to get stronger, too,
so I can protect the person I like?
Back at the Eng Fest,
why did you come to the nurse's office?
Oh, Sui told me
I was going to explain things
to the teachers,
but your cousin showed up
and took care of it before I could.
She's such a cool senior.
I wish I was like that.
No, she's super mean!
She teases me all the time!
Huh? But she seemed close
with the teachers and
That's her public persona!
She kind of bullied me back in preschool.
She bullied you?
She did!
She said unnecessary things
in the nurse's office, too.
I've never seen that expression
on Kamishiro's face before.
So, Iwata, you shouldn't look up to her.
Just stay the way you are.
Oh okay. Got it.
I don't know if he really meant
what he said, or if he was just flustered.
Seeing that expression for the first time
made me a little jealous
of how there seemed to be
no walls between them.
At the yakiniku place
you and Ayukawa were off
by yourselves, chatting.
I've never had a proper chat with him.
What was he talking about?
Oh can I tell him?
Like, how he picked this school,
or how he hates being skinny
I probably shouldn't.
Things like Ayukawa living in the dorm
and that kind of stuff.
I didn't think we were alike,
but it turns out
we have a lot in common, and
That was a bit of a non-answer.
The movie
Would you rather go
with everyone?
What?
I-I'd rather go just with you!
Glad to hear that.
Same here.
We're approaching a curve.
Please be careful as the train may sway.
The train really sways here, you know.
Back in elementary school,
did you ever try to keep your balance?
Like, without holding on to anything
Maybe girls don't do that?
I've tried that.
Shall we?
After every conversation with you,
it feels like a light shines in my heart.
And after every laugh we share,
my heart sparkles.
I hope you won't look troubled
when I confess to you.
I just want you to smile.

Which seats are best in a cinema?
The center seats, a bit toward the back!
Got it!
-No luck.
-With what?
They were already taken
-Episode 8, "Ten Years."
-Episode 8, "Ten Years."
than I expected.
Oh, um Your P.E. jacket
Keep it on.
I'm so hot right now, so I'm fine.
He rushed over here
-Towel
-Towel
Sorr
I'm sorr
We're so in sync.
His jacket is baggy around my shoulders,
and I thought
my shoulders were pretty thick.
You still treat me the same way you did
back in elementary school, Iwata.
Huh?
You think I'm a little kid, don't you?
I don't think that at all.
Yeah, you totally do.
You just don't realize it.
You were worried about me catching a cold.
You wouldn't treat other guys like that.
I mean
I guess it's not easy to overwrite
the image you have of me
from elementary school.
I don't think that.
I see you as a high schooler.
You're too cool, it's a problem.

Yeah, Kamishiro's definitely the one

Back in elementary school, we were always

I remember that.
We were a big tree and a little tree.
But I'm giving this my all.
Can I try again?
I'll do it standing.
Sure.
I like you as the tree,
and I like you as the Cowardly Lion.
Kamishiro, you kept getting better.
Really?
Well, I did put in a lot of effort.
But I never once told him
that I like him.
Kamishiro thinks
my attitude toward him hasn't changed.
It's not getting through to him.
English isn't my thing,
but it's not like I hate it or anything.
I'm super excited
about the new Spy"D"-Man movie.
Oh, the swings. It's been forever.
Because I haven't told him.
Hey, look, Iwata!
I'm too big to stand on this now.
Kamishiro.
That movie you were talking about
I want to go see it with you!
Oh, is this
It's a no?
Is this going to be turned down?
Like, we're friends,
but not that kind of friends?
When do you want to go?
Huh?
Have you seen all the previous
Spy"D"-Man movies?
Oh, um maybe not the older ones
But I'll catch up!
Maybe over summer break?
Huh?
I'm not sure about my club schedule yet,
so can we check in again
after the Eng Fest?
Sure.
Okay, I'll text you.
Welcome home.
Thank goodness.
I thought my heart would stop beating.
I'm so happy!
Kamishiro suddenly got a lot better.
You really did, Kamishiro!
Shall we move on to the next scene?
Yeah.
Let's start by checking the positions.
Oh, yeah.
That's a tree.
That really looks like a tree.
Props team, how's it going?
Izawa's somehow taking the lead again.
The costumes and props
are coming along nicely.
Let's do our best, too!
Yeah.
I hope it goes well.
Hopefully,
it turns out the way Kamishiro wants,

That concludes the play by Class 1-C.
Class 1-A, please begin setting up.
All right, follow me!
Let's give it everything we've got!
What's with Izawa?
Yushin is something else.
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO PRIZE?
Kamishiro's not stumbling at all.
He must've kept practicing since then.
He's really cool.
Hey, knock it off.
Why are they right up against the stage?
I'M WATCHING YOU!!
Iwata!
Man, that surprised me!
What happened, Iwa?
Um
I thought Sui was going to fall
off the stage and
I wasn't going to.
Yeah.
Sorry, I ruined the performance.
Don't be! I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
Iwa, I need a hand!
Coming!
I'll go break down the set pieces.
Okay.
We're going to go get changed.
Kamishiro came to me.
He came to me,
not caring what others thought.
He helped me even with everyone watching.
Think they're still working?
-Let's go help out.
-Yeah!

Koki's not at fault.

Why are you here, Kamishiro? Oh, I see.
You two are siblings?
Nope.
We're cousins.

Third-year Kamishiro,
can we leave him to you?
Okay! Thanks, teacher.

You're such a kid, Koki.

Justified self-defense.
That's not how you use that term.
Iwata.
Thanks for coming.
I checked the movie schedules.
I'll text you later.
Okay.
Isn't that the girl
you were swinging the rope with?
Are you going to a movie?
Yeah.
With your friends?
No, just the two of us.
Huh
-Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!
-Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!
The girl the protagonist

30 MEMBERS
Aren't you joining the fun over there?
I'm having fun watching them.
Oh, me too.
It's nice to see
people having fun, isn't it?
Thanks for your help at Eng Fest.
You made things easier for me.
Same to you. I didn't feel nervous at all,
thanks to you.
Huh?
You were so calm and reliable,
and that reassured me.
Really?
I saw Kamishiro help you.
Well, yeah, we're friends.
You two went
to the same junior high, right?

I feel like you're annoying them.
It's okay, I'm not annoyed.

Did something happen?
I I'll go get some meat!
Let's go all out!
-Loin!
-Short ribs!
CRAZY DELICIOUS LOIN
CRAZY DELICIOUS SHORT RIBS
Kamishiro didn't overhear that, did he?
I'm not annoyed.
I don't really get Ayukawa.
I can't tell what he's thinking.
Maybe he's just nice?
Isn't this already cooked?
No, it's raw. You can't eat it, it's pork.
I even like just watching
Kamishiro talk to people.
It feels like the whole place lights up

So bitter!

Was there a bit of a pause?
They said time's up.
Speech!
Speech? Me? Well, if you insist
Main cast, come up front!
Iwa!
You too. And Ayukawa.
Quick words from all, lead goes first!
I was so happy with the cute costume!
Thanks, everyone! Love you all!
Wow, Sui nailed it.
I was pretty bad at it,
but with everyone's help,
I managed to make it through
Kamishiro, you did great!
Well done! Turn this way!
Thank you to everyone who helped me!
Next up, our two prompters
don't want to say anything.
Well, that's fine!
Thanks.
Yeah.
What's going on with that eye contact?
And are you guys low-key dressed to match?
Why not just start dating?
You're giving off married-couple vibes.
Izawa!
Izawa.
I don't really have the immunity
for that kind of teasing.
Stop it.
Oh okay. Right.
Sorry, Iwa.
Lower your fist?
You're scaring me, Iwa.
Okay.
HOKKAIDO DEVELOPMENT MEMORIAL STONE
All right, let's split up here.
See you at school.
Get home safe.
Yeah, bye-bye.
Things happen, whether I like it or not,
but I won't let them get to me.
That phase ended with junior high.
You get off at the last station,
Kamishiro?
Okay, see ya.
-See you later, Iwa.
-Laters.
Yeah.
Just 15 minutes until our station.
Just the two of us.
Everyone was so loud.
That was fun.
Oh, look, Iwata.
What do you like
about this movie series, Kamishiro?
Huh? What do I like about them?
Never thought about it.
He never thought about it?
Hmm
He's thinking about it.
You know, the protagonist starts off weak
but gets stronger.
I guess I want to get stronger, too,
so I can protect the person I like?
Back at the Eng Fest,
why did you come to the nurse's office?
Oh, Sui told me
I was going to explain things
to the teachers,
but your cousin showed up
and took care of it before I could.
She's such a cool senior.
I wish I was like that.
No, she's super mean!
She teases me all the time!
Huh? But she seemed close
with the teachers and
That's her public persona!
She kind of bullied me back in preschool.
She bullied you?
She did!
She said unnecessary things
in the nurse's office, too.
I've never seen that expression
on Kamishiro's face before.
So, Iwata, you shouldn't look up to her.
Just stay the way you are.
Oh okay. Got it.
I don't know if he really meant
what he said, or if he was just flustered.
Seeing that expression for the first time
made me a little jealous
of how there seemed to be
no walls between them.
At the yakiniku place
you and Ayukawa were off
by yourselves, chatting.
I've never had a proper chat with him.
What was he talking about?
Oh can I tell him?
Like, how he picked this school,
or how he hates being skinny
I probably shouldn't.
Things like Ayukawa living in the dorm
and that kind of stuff.
I didn't think we were alike,
but it turns out
we have a lot in common, and
That was a bit of a non-answer.
The movie
Would you rather go
with everyone?
What?
I-I'd rather go just with you!
Glad to hear that.
Same here.
We're approaching a curve.
Please be careful as the train may sway.
The train really sways here, you know.
Back in elementary school,
did you ever try to keep your balance?
Like, without holding on to anything
Maybe girls don't do that?
I've tried that.
Shall we?
After every conversation with you,
it feels like a light shines in my heart.
And after every laugh we share,
my heart sparkles.
I hope you won't look troubled
when I confess to you.
I just want you to smile.
