[soft festive music]
[SHAVED ICE]
[crowd chatter]
[festive music continues]
[grill sizzling]
[inaudible]
[girl 1] I just love that
design! It's really cool!
-[girl 2] Really?
-Did you change it
from last year?
[indecisive groan]
Well, this will do!
[chuckles]
[opening theme]
[both gasp]
[Kanikawa] Ah, I thought you
were gonna wear a yukata!
Yeah, but this is
easier to move around in.
Even Anamizu managed
to get herself
in a skirt for this.
You shut up.
I wanna get some
shaved ice so bad!
I wonder if any shops are
selling candied strawberries!
Should we go buy stuff now?
We have to hand out
flyers first.
Boo, you workaholic!
Come on, Anamizu.
Do you want to eat some
chocolate-covered bananas?
[Anamizu] Oh, yeah! I'm totally
craving some of those!
[Kanikawa]
Then let's go get some!
[Anamizu] Not while
we have a job to do.
[soft bright music]
[Ganta]
All right, let's review the plan
now that everyone is here.
Hand out flyers along the route
from the station to the market.
Then you'll have free
time when it gets dark.
After we finish doing
our own thing,
we'll meet up at
the school to watch
the fireworks from the roof.
Fireworks, yes!
Thanks, guys.
I really appreciate this!
[backpack rustles]
[all] Uhh
Please come check out our event!
We'll be holding a meteor
shower viewing party!
Please come check
out our event
[Kanikawa] We are holding a
meteor shower viewing party!
[group sighs]
Please check out our event!
Uh Sure.
Thanks!
-Come to our event!
-O-okay.
Thanks!
-Please check it out!
-Wow.
She knows how to get it done.
I'm glad we have her.
[soft bright music]
[Isaki sighs]
Please come to our event!
[music ends]
Did you hand out your flyers?
Only about half of mine.
Hardly any of 'em.
[Kanikawa] It's tough to get
people to take them, huh?
I feel like I wanna quit.
We usually don't take
random flyers either, right?
They're not being mean.
-[Isaki] Hey, guys!
-[all] Huh?
Lemme get those flyers
back from you!
[Nono] I'm sorry
Nuh-uh. It's cool!
Hey, guys. Good work!
Thanks for your help.
[Kanikawa giggles]
[Nono giggles]
You too, Isaki.
Here, take this.
It's the key to the roof.
Okay? I'm going
back to the market
to hand out the rest
of these flyers!
Will you make it back in time?
Probably!
[Kanikawa] I'm going for shaved
ice first! And after that-
[crowd chattering]
[Ganta]
Please check out our event!
Please check out our event!
[Haida]
A meteor shower viewing party?
Do you two know each other?
Yeah, dunno why he
gave me an "Ugh."
but Nakamicchi here
is in my class.
Working hard on school stuff
is real cool,
but if you don't stop
and enjoy life,
you'll miss it, bruh.
Don't grind yourself
to dust! Tah!
[girl chuckles]
Let's get some popcorn.
He's got a good point.
Ukegawa?!
What are you doing?
I'm on break, but don't forget,
the firework show is
your top priority today.
Ah Oh
Dude, you promised
Isaki you'd watch
the fireworks with her, right?
[Ganta sighs]
Thanks, Ukegawa!
'Course! I got your back!
[Ganta panting]
[kid] I'm so excited!
[girl] Wow!
[kids laughing]
[girl] Wait for me!
[kid 1] Let's go this way!
[kid 2] We gotta hurry!
[kids laughing]
[sweet, gentle music]
[Ganta gasps]
[Isaki] Ganta!
[shoes clacking]
[gentle music continues]
Isaki.
I had a change of heart,
so I went home to put this on.
[soft chuckle]
[soft magical music]
[Isaki] I guess we must be the
first ones to get here, huh?
-Yeah.
-Let's shoot
the others a message
and head for the roof.
[Twosie meows]
Hi, Twosie!
[footsteps]
[Ganta] It's like I nodded off
without realizing it,
and now
I'm inside a dream.
[Isaki chuckles]
[giggling]
[Isaki giggles]
[comical fluttering]
[Ganta inhales]
[Ganta shouts]
[Isaki screams]
[Isaki] Jeez! Don't
scare me like that!
I jumped outta my skin!
You were about
to do the same to me.
[angry grunt]
Crap!
How did you know that?
[Ganta laughing]
[Ganta]
You're moving pretty fast
even though it's
pitch-black in here.
All you gotta do is run
your hand along the wall
and you can move around
easily in the dark.
When I was little,
I'd sneak out of my room
and have fun exploring
the hospital at night
with the other kids.
But the doctor always found out
and scolded us the next day.
Gosh, it was so much fun!
[keys jangling]
[door unlocks]
[door creaking]
[wind whooshing]
We'll be able to see the
fireworks perfectly from here!
[backpack rustling]
[unzipping]
Oh!
Picnic blanket,
and even cushions?!
This is what you had in the bag?
You're amazing, Ganta.
I thought since everybody went
out of their way
to help me with all my stuff,
I figured it was
the least I could do.
[Isaki chuckling]
There's a crowd starting to
gather near the firework site.
It's been forever since I
went to a festival like this.
Huge crowds tend
to make me dizzy,
and the noisy celebrating
would get on my nerves.
But today
I actually found myself
able to share
in all the excitement.
Obviously, that's
because you've got
a cute girl in a yukata
sitting next to you.
You're right.
[Isaki stutters]
[Ganta stutters, gasps]
[firework screeching]
[fireworks screeching
and booming]
[gentle piano music]
Hm.
[Ganta sighs]
Ah
[Ganta sighs]
Hey, so
I was-
[door squeaks]
[both gasp]
Ugh, you see!
It's already started without us!
Put your geta sandals back on.
[Kanikawa sighs]
[Nono] Wow! This is my
first time on the roof!
You guys are late.
[Kanikawa] It's Anamizu's fault
for wasting all our time
by eating four
chocolate-covered bananas!
[Anamizu] What can I say?
They were really tasty!
[Isaki laughs]
Huh?
[Anamizu screaming]
Isn't this that one cat?!
This here is the
Astronomy Club's mascot.
Her name's Twosie.
But all the girls at the
Dance Club call it "Marumi."
Yeah? The art clubbers
call it "Bouguin."
[Ganta sighs]
[fireworks booming]
[upbeat music]
[group laughing and gasping]
Tamaya!
Double Tamaya!
[group laughing]
[music continues]
[shutter clicking]
[music continues]
[EPISODE 7: THE FIREWORKS STAR]
[THE PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER]
[Kanikawa] Okay,
we're gonna head out now!
Later!
Bye, you two!
Bye, guys! See you tomorrow.
-Bye, guys!
-Bye, guys!
This was fun!
Yeah!
Yay! We did it, Ganta!
Mm-hmm. Let's go drop off
our stuff in the observatory
and transfer the picture data.
Then we can head back home.
Okay!
[Isaki]
Whoa! I can't see a thing.
Huh?
Cha!
Ah.
[dome rattling]
[soft laugh]
[chime dinging]
Hm?
[COOL DOWN WITH THIS -KURASHIKI]
[Ganta] A wind chime?
[Isaki] Crap. The fan is gone!
[soft relaxing music]
[Isaki giggling]
[Ganta] Aw, man
I look like such a dork
in these pictures.
Me and my stupid smile.
So, like.
Huh?
Whenever I couldn't sleep,
I just laid there and wonder
why I was the only person
suffering like this.
Was jealous of all
the people I saw
having fun and enjoying
themselves.
Now I know the reality.
Even though they don't let
it show on the outside,
everyone struggles with
some problem or another.
I mean, it'd be pretty scary
if every person we came
across looked miserable.
[Ganta]
I owe it all to you, Isaki.
Huh?
[Ganta]
You're the one who helped me
gain that perspective on life.
Like, I'm always quick
to get nervous
and panic about stuff.
So from my perspective,
you're really incredible!
Is that Anamizu and the
others by the railroad?
[chair rattles]
[Isaki] Upsy-daisy.
-I can see them.
-Isaki, wait!
That's too dangerous! Come down!
It's all right!
Trust me, I would
never die like this!
[stammering]
I'm serious.
When I was born, no one thought
I would live long enough
to be here today.
I guess I'm luckier than a
pile of four-leaf clovers!
[tree rustling]
[wind howling]
[Isaki gasps]
[chime echoes]
[Ganta gasps]
[chair thudding]
Isaki, you o-
[Isaki gasps]
[heart beating]
[Isaki] Do you hear it?
It's the sound of my heartbeat.
Only half of it moves.
Sounds imperfect, doesn't it?
So, yeah.
I've had problems with
my heart since birth.
I had to undergo surgery
when I was really little.
And it went well.
The doctor said I was
gonna be okay now.
That I could even
start exercising
to maintain my health.
But during the night,
I'm flooded with anxiety.
[gentle music]
I can't shake the feeling
that my heart
might stop while I'm asleep,
and that I won't wake up.
Even after the morning comes.
It really stresses me out.
I'm scared.
[Ganta gasps]
[Ganta] So that's
the reason why Isaki
can't sleep at night.
I guess even the fact
that you can't sleep
might carry some kind of
meaning to it, you know?
[chime dinging]
[Ganta] That's it.
Listen, you can talk to
me when you feel scared.
[uplifting music]
I'll always be there to listen.
No matter how late it
gets or what day it is!
I'll stay awake talking
with you the whole time
until you feel safe enough
to fall asleep!
Okay?!
[Isaki gasps]
Because, you know, I'm like
the worst sleeper in the world.
Don't cry.
It's gonna be okay.
[sniffling]
[Isaki sobbing]
[both thud]
[chime dinging]
[Isaki sobbing]
[Isaki sobbing]
[sentimental music]
Somehow, it still feels like
I'm in the middle of a dream.
But as Isaki's tears come
seeping through my shirt
I can feel a coolness
on my skin.
[chime dinging]
[Isaki sighing]
I'm better now.
Isaki.
[Isaki groans]
All that crying made me ugly.
Don't look at me!
[Isaki sighs]
[Anamizu] The fireworks
were impressive,
but they never looked quite
the same in pictures, huh?
Well, this sassy little
selfie I took turned out great!
Most wonderful memories
are those
that barely leave any trace.
[Kanikawa] What does that mean?
[Kurashiki]
It means don't go blabbing about
how you watched fireworks
up on the roof!
You got that, Kaniwaka?
[Kanikawa grunts]
Go on.
We're done here,
so go back to class.
Aw.
Bye! See you later!
Thanks again for
lending us the key
to the roof for the show!
It's our secret, Isaki.
But this
you're gonna have
to leave it behind!
[Isaki groaning]
Damn.
[soft bright music]
[water splashing]
[hair dryer blowing]
[Isaki sighs]
[groan]
[soft bright music]
[GANTA]
[Isaki groaning]
[Ganta] So I guess you've been
sleeping, huh?
[Isaki whines]
Since you haven't called
me at night or anything.
It's not like that.
It's just that whenever
the time comes,
I get nervous that
my parents will be able
to hear me through
the thin walls
because they're super strict
about not staying up too late.
Plus, I'd feel awful
if I called on a day
when you were actually asleep.
[Ganta sighs]
Okay. So it's not because
she thinks I'm unreliable.
And that's a fair point.
Talking on the phone does
pose its own challenges.
A speaker and a listener.
Oh!
[notification pops]
[Ganta] Download this app.
It's an app that allows anyone
to broadcast their voice.
Search for the
channel labeled "Insomnia."
The password is 1223.
[notification pops]
This is my first time using it,
so I don't know if
it'll work well or not.
[RADIO BROADCAST JUST FOR
MAGARI] [#TALKINGTOMYSELF]
This is Ganta Nakami.
I'm in class 1-1
at Kuyo High School.
[Isaki giggling]
My student number is 13.
-I'm in the Astronomy Club
-He's giving
-and, uh
-a self-introduction!
I'm about to do a radio show.
Thank you for listening.
[Ganta clears his throat]
[window creaking]
The weather's clear tonight.
There will be a full moon
in three days,
so the sky is very bright.
Recently, whenever
I can't fall asleep,
I open the windows
and try searching for stars.
[bright magical music]
[music continues]
I wonder if Isaki
was able to sleep.
[notification pops]
[YOU RECEIVED AN INVITATION
TO A BROADCAST FROM ISA]
[Isaki] Good evening.
I got the urge to try doing
a radio broadcast myself.
So I'm going to talk for a bit.
It might be hard to hear
me because I'm hiding.
I'm under a blanket
and whispering
so nobody catches me!
I wish I knew if it was
really picking up my voice.
[Ganta]
This is tickling my ears.
[Isaki] If my sister sleeping
in the next room wakes up,
I'm gonna disconnect, okay?
Huh? She has a sister?!
[Isaki]
My sister is a college student
who's four years older than me.
She attends school in Kanazawa,
so normally she's not here.
But she's home for
summer break right now.
She totally embraced
the bimbo look
for her first day of college.
My mom is a registered nurse.
She's obsessed with shiba inus.
She buys cute dog things even
though our family's
never had one.
My dad is a white-collar
worker.
Loves watching TV,
and he wears ties with shiba
inus on them!
[laughing]
[Ganta chuckles]
[ending theme]
[ending theme continues]
[Isaki] I wonder if Ganta is
still listening to this point.
Um, what was I
talking about again?
Oh, right!
It was about tomorrow's
closing ceremony at school,
and how bummed I am to get my
[Isaki yawns]
report card
[Ganta] She's yawning.
[Ganta yawns]
[Isaki breathes lightly]
[Ganta gasps]
[Isaki breathes lightly]
[#TALKINGTOMYSELF] [RADIO
BROADCAST JUST FOR NAKAMI]
[Ganta sighs]
[Ganta laughing]
[Ganta laughing]
Isaki fell asleep!
[light snoring]
[light breathing]
[Isaki breathing lightly]
