00:00I'm Sota Takamine, your typical second-year high school introvert.
00:05Every morning on the bus ride to school, there's this girl who catches my eye.
00:11So that girl's Sayuki Shioda.
00:13We're in the same class, but we never talk.
00:17Man, she's cute.
00:19What's she always listening to, though?
00:26Thirty minutes later.
00:27Ugh, couldn't say anything again.
00:31Looks like you're struggling again today, huh?
00:34Yeah, otaku.
00:37It's otaku-da, not otaku.
00:41My bad, my bad.
00:43This dude's Tamotsu Otakuda, a hardcore otaku and one of my few friends.
00:49So what's eating at you?
00:52Sayuki and I sit next to each other on the bus, but I can't spit out a word.
00:58Last time, I picked up her handkerchief and got straight-up ignored.
01:03Maybe she hates me.
01:05No worries.
01:07Sayuki's cold to any good-looking dude, believe me.
01:11Saying that doesn't make me feel better, though.
01:14Hey, ain't no way Sayuki's gonna mess with a nerd like you.
01:20Ugh.
01:22Charao, the popular guy from our class, barged in, always getting attention from the ladies.
01:29Plus, ain't she always listening to something?
01:33I bet it's one of my covers.
01:36Well, nerds gotta stay low-key, right?
01:40Yeah, I guess so.
01:42Maybe popular guys like Charao are the way to go after all.
01:47No need to feel down.
01:49You're, like, doing stuff on the internet, too.
01:53Whoa, that's a secret!
01:55Whoops, my bad.
01:58Yep, there's this secret that only Otakura knows.
02:02Turns out, I'm posting singing videos like Charao, but incognito as Kanade.
02:09No face reveals.
02:11Alright, just gotta adjust this setting.
02:15As usual, setting up for the monthly stream after getting home.
02:19Oh shoot, wrong setting!
02:21My face is on screen!
02:23Sorry, closing the stream for a sec!
02:27Handled it quickly, so no harm done.
02:30A few viewers saw my face, but they played it cool.
02:35Next day.
02:37Hmm?
02:40She's totally staring at me.
02:42Did I do something?
02:44Um...
02:45Huh? N-nothing!
02:48Even as the bus starts moving, she keeps glancing at me, but no conversation.
02:55Finally, the bus arrives at school.
02:58Uh, you need to get off for me to get off, too.
03:02U-um...
03:04You're the singer, Kanade, right?
03:08Huh?
03:09Saw your face in yesterday's stream.
03:12Man, during that mishap!
03:15Later, we rushed to the school to talk.
03:18We decided to talk in an empty classroom, but...
03:22Alright, no one around to hear us.
03:24So, about what happened earlier...
03:28Yup, just as I thought.
03:30The real Kanade is right in front of me now!
03:34Huh?
03:35Kanade!
03:37What the-
03:38I've been, like, totally in love with you!
03:43Whaaat?
03:45So, I've always thought Sota and Kanade's voices sounded alike.
03:50I've been sitting next to you forever trying to find clues, and finally got the confirmation!
03:56Wait, sitting next to me was for that?
04:00Bought high-end headphones just to hear Kanade's angelic voice.
04:05But real-life Kanade's voice is unbeatable!
04:09Uh, hey, can we keep this a secret at school?
04:14Got it!
04:15This is our little secret!
04:18Knowing a secret only I know, it's practically like we're married already, right?
04:24That's going too far, you know?
04:28After that, Sayuki's actions were off the charts.
04:32What's your favorite song, Sota?
04:34Is it the one you first posted?
04:36Uh, well...
04:38Uh, is your throat okay?
04:40I have throat lozenges if you want.
04:43Sayuki!
04:44Forget that, listen to my new track!
04:47I wrote and composed it just for you!
04:50Not interested, don't bother!
04:53C-come on!
04:55Ahaha...
04:57While everyone else still gets the cold shoulder, I'm just laughing it off.
05:02But when it comes to me, it seems like everything else fades away.
05:07Made lunch for you, Sota!
05:09Here comes the plane!
05:11E-everyone's watching, you know?
05:14And then, the day after I posted a video...
05:18W-what is this?
05:20Comments on yesterday's video!
05:22There are a hundred pages!
05:26Happy, but super heavy!
05:30Alright, this is getting too much attention!
05:32Time to do something about these stares hurting me!
05:36Uh, hey, can you maybe keep a bit more distance?
05:40W-why would you say something like that?
05:44Do you maybe have a girlfriend?
05:46No, that can't be right.
05:48Sota, there's no way you'd betray me!
05:51You avoiding me must be for some other reason!
05:53Oh!
05:54You're just embarrassed, right?
05:57But it's okay!
05:58I love even that side of you, Sota!
06:01That's not what I meant!
06:03Things might take a bad turn with rumors about Sayuki circulating.
06:08To keep some distance, I decided to show the real me to Sayuki by inviting her to karaoke.
06:14I can't believe I get to hear Sota's live singing!
06:19I'm so happy!
06:21Sorry, but I think I might disappoint your expectations.
06:25Huh?
06:27After that, I had to sing.
06:30Huh?
06:32Nope, this won't work.
06:34My voice isn't cooperating!
06:36What was that?
06:39Can't believe how awful it was, huh?
06:41Why?
06:43You're usually so good.
06:45I can't sing in front of people.
06:48I loved singing since I was a kid and wanted to be a singer.
06:52But in middle school, my classmates laughed at me during a music class.
06:56Since then, I couldn't sing in front of people.
07:00So I'm not the cool guy you think I am.
07:03You must be disappointed, right?
07:05Not at all.
07:07Huh?
07:09Because you post videos, isn't that to overcome the fear?
07:14Ah!
07:15If you'd given up on singing, you wouldn't be posting videos.
07:19You're still trying to become a singer, right?
07:22Yeah.
07:24But no matter how much I practice, it doesn't get better.
07:27It's nice that you respect me as a singer,
07:29but it's probably better if you're not around someone like me.
07:33There's surely someone more suitable for you.
07:36Yep!
07:38You're so hot!
07:41What?
07:43Facing your painful past and trying to overcome it is amazing!
07:48If you're struggling, I want to help too.
07:51Ah!
07:52Even showing this pathetic side, she still wants to support me.
07:58Thanks.
07:59So, can I ask a favor?
08:01Sure thing!
08:03From that day on, we started hitting the karaoke practically every day.
08:09Sayuki would shower me with compliments every time I sang.
08:13The chorus part just now was so cool!
08:16Thanks!
08:17Getting praised boosts my confidence, huh?
08:20Excuse me!
08:22Wait, Otakuda?
08:24You work here or something?
08:26Today, I'm here as a substitute for a friend.
08:30So, here are your drinks!
08:32Ah!
08:33Didn't order a drink with couple straws, did I?
08:36My bad!
08:37Made a mistake in the order.
08:39But hey, enjoy these together!
08:42N-no way!
08:44S-Soda?
08:46Since he went through the trouble of bringing it, let's drink together!
08:50She's so pumped!
08:52I'll leave you guys to it then.
08:55W-wait, Otakuda!
08:58Soda?
09:00You should only have eyes for me, Soda!
09:03Are you trying to say that he's more important than me?
09:06If that's the case, he should disappear!
09:10Hold up!
09:10I'll drink it!
09:11Stop with the scary talk!
09:14Embarrassing.
09:15But hey, Sayuki's been helping me practice.
09:19Screw it!
09:22Ah!
09:23So close!
09:24Sayuki does look gorgeous up close!
09:28Ah!
09:29Soda being this close!
09:34Wait, Sayuki?
09:36You okay?
09:37With a few mishaps along the way, we kept practicing.
09:42One month later...
09:44That was amazing, Soda!
09:46Truly!
09:48Thanks!
09:48It's all thanks to you being my partner!
09:53Listening to you sing makes me want to sing too!
09:57Alright, Sayuki!
09:58Your turn!
10:00Ah!
10:01Sayuki's singing voice is beautiful!
10:03I do like Sayuki after all!
10:06But I can't ask her out like this!
10:10An hour later...
10:12Had so much fun today!
10:14Let's practice together again tomorrow!
10:17Yeah, sounds good!
10:20What?
10:21Why is Soda with Sayuki?
10:24Charao?
10:25Why are you here?
10:27Came with the girls from our class!
10:29But more importantly, why you ain't into me, Sayuki?
10:34Huh?
10:35Have we met somewhere before?
10:38What?
10:40Not even on her radar, huh?
10:42You'd prefer a gloomy guy over me?
10:45This is nuts!
10:47Chill, dude!
10:49Let's calm down!
10:50You telling me to calm down?
10:53If it's come to this, let's sing the same song and see who can score higher!
10:58The winner gets a date with Sayuki!
11:01How about that?
11:03Why all of a sudden?
11:05Sure!
11:07Sayuki!
11:08It's a deal!
11:10Now, let's head to the room already!
11:13In the end, I couldn't refuse and we headed to the room Charao rented.
11:19Huh?
11:20Sayuki and Soda?
11:23What's going on?
11:25Oh, come on!
11:26Singing together is way more fun, right?
11:30A few minutes later...
11:32Yeah!
11:33Scored a whopping 98!
11:36Oh my god, Charao!
11:39Got the looks, voice...
11:44Come on, it's your turn!
11:45Belt it out quick!
11:49What do I do?
11:50I'm still not used to singing in front of people!
11:53Soda, you'll be fine!
11:56I've got your back!
11:57Got it?
12:00What's the hold up?
12:01You giving up or what?
12:03Nah, I'll do it!
12:06Sayuki's cheering for me!
12:08No way I'm backing down without doing anything!
12:12This voice...
12:14Just listening makes my heart race!
12:19What?
12:20A hundred?
12:21No way!
12:23Looks like I'm the winner, huh?
12:25Probably just luck!
12:27Let's go again, me and you!
12:29Despite challenging Charao, the results stayed the same.
12:33How... how are you singing this much without wrecking your throat?
12:40Who even are you, man?
12:43Oh, I thought I heard this voice somewhere before.
12:46Maybe...
12:49Isn't he that singer, Kanade?
12:52Channel with a million subscribers!
12:54A million?
12:55For this nerd?
12:57What are you saying?
12:59He's a way cooler singer than anyone else!
13:02If you get it, please stop bothering us.
13:05Let's go, Sota.
13:08Yeah!
13:09Wait up!
13:10Just for a day, go on a date with me, all right?
13:13A date?
13:15What are you talking about?
13:17Uh, this is, uh...
13:20Wait, were you trying to hit on Sayuki while we're right here?
13:24You're gonna spill it out to us!
13:27Pink!
13:28Pink!
13:30It's great that you could sing!
13:32Thanks, but why are you helping me so much, Sayuki?
13:37Because you helped me a long time ago.
13:40Huh?
13:42I'm not good with people.
13:44Even in middle school, I couldn't fit in with the class.
13:47And I often skipped school.
13:50That's when I found your videos.
13:53You've been listening since my debut?
13:56Yes.
13:57I am who I am today because your songs cheered me up.
14:01So of course I want to help you.
14:05It's the same for me.
14:07Thanks to you, Sayuki.
14:08I feel like I can overcome the part of me that can't sing.
14:12So, um...
14:14Uh, I like you, Sayuki.
14:18Huh?
14:20From now on, I want you by my side.
14:23Of course, I'll support you too.
14:25So, will you go out with me?
14:28Yes!
14:29I like you too, Sota.
14:31From now on, let's always be together.
14:35And that's how we ended up dating.
14:38Later on, word got out that I'm Kanade around the school.
14:43Charo, after that embarrassing incident,
14:46isn't getting any love from the girls anymore.
14:49But it seems all that attention is now pointed my way.
14:53So you're Kanade, huh?
14:56Uh, well...
14:58Looks like you're getting all the girls.
15:02No.
15:04Sota's all mine.
15:05And that's more than enough.
15:07If anyone tries to mess with our thing,
15:10you know what's gonna happen, right?
15:14It's, um...
15:15Okay, I only like you, Sayuki.
15:18So...
15:19Huh?
15:20Uh, okay.
15:24I'm crazy about you too.
15:26From now on, I'm the only one allowed to be by your side.
15:30Got it?
15:32Absolutely!
15:33Thanks to Sayuki, I'm slowly getting better at singing.
15:37Gonna keep practicing a lot
15:39and be the cool boyfriend standing next to her.
15:48I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos too!
