My heart walks, searching for something exciting 胸の鼓動 熱くゆるがす
That will passionately sway the beating in my chest My Heart 刺激求めて歩く my heart
If I just wait for the time to pass everyday Nothing’s going to change WOO WOO 時間だけが過ぎる毎日じゃ 変化はない wowowo
I won’t stop I want to belive I want to move forward 止まらない 信じたい 進みたい
I will test my strength during my life My Life 自分の力試す my life
But even if I walk faster The important things でも早歩きしたって見落とすだけ そう確実に
Baby For You… Tomorrow’s wind will blow tomorrow baby for you 明日は明日の風が吹く
But I want to make the most out of this moment now それでも 今この瞬間を強く生きたい
It’s My Fantasy. Even if I’m wandering Even if I’m in a strange new world It's FANTASY さまよったとしても 見たことない世界でも
I’ll stand up to it Believing in myself more than anything else 何よりも自分を信じ立ち向かおう
It’s Destiny. No matter where I am I’m surrounded by the same sky It's DESTINY どんな場所にいても つつむ空は一つだから
So I’ll be able to fly With my wings spread out ねぇ もっと翼広げて 羽ばたけるよね
I'm starting at the preliminaries for the pro exam again next year
Iijima-kun quit the Insei program already
Maybe I'm at my limit, too
Oh yeah
have you heard, Waya?
Afew players from the Kyuuseikai
Have gone to China to study and to further relations
And?
It seems Isumi-kun went with them
Isumi-san did!?
The Sixty-Fifth Match: Isumi no Go
It only takes four hours to go from Tokyo to Bei'jing!
Are we taking a taxi the rest of the way?
How long does it take to get to the Go Institute of China?
Half an hour I think
What?
Sakurano and Isumi, is this the first time in China for both of you?
But Isumi
when you quit the Kyuuseikai last year...
I thought you were giving up on becoming a pro
Why would he give it up!?
Shin-chan would play evenly with your average pro
I never said he wasn't good enough
I thought you had gotten depressed and given it up
I wanted to be alone for abit
To organize my emotions I'm sorry for making you worry
The fact that Master Narusara invited you to this Shizen match
Shows that he thinks highly of your abilities
Yes
I have to pass this year
In order to thank the teacher for his kindness
You really do!
You're already nineteen, you know
I didn't become a pro until I was over twenty
Sakurano is Sakurano
Isumi is Isumi
What do you mean?
How many games are we playing?
Three games or so over three days and two nights
I've done everything I can so far Three games or so over three days and two nights
I've done everything I can so far
The pro exam preliminaries will start in two months
I'll pretend that the Shinzen match is the pro exam
I resign
This move you made was rather peculiar
You lost all the stones you played
I couldn't turn the game around after all...
He's good...
It wasn't a bad game Don't feel bad about it
Come on, let's cheer up with a nice lunch
It wasn't bad?
I am dissatisfied with that game I just played
I'm not depressed at all
I'm just angry at myeslf for playing too aggressively, because I thought I couldn't lose....
For not being able to play my best...
Do you think you could have won if you had?
Well, good luck on your afternoon match
Shin-chan, hurry up!
I once pretended to Play a Go stone in this park...
Sai found a rock that looked like a Go stone...
Yup something just like this
And he told me to try playing this stone...
The rock flew out of my hand when I tried to play it
Sai...
Shindou!
Waya!
What are you doing?
Why?
What are you doing here, Waya?
I was on my way to your house
Master Morishita is furious
You don't come to the study sessions
And you've been ditching the matches
You haven't said anything to the Go Institute have you!?
Are you in a slump? Or are you just tired of it all already?
Say something?
How can I know what you're thinking if you don't say anything!?
How can I tell him that
I don't care about Go anymore...
I want to see Sai again...
Say... I started living on my own
All our Insei friends come to visit me
You should come, too
That's alright
Shindou...
You're the only one that's standing still
I played three Ooteai matches, and I'm two and one...
But Ochi has already played four games and has four straight wins!
Honda-san, Komiya, and everyone else
Are working hard for this years pro exams, too
From what I hear Isumi-san
Went to play Go against Chinese pros
Isumi-san is in China?
Yeah...
Shindou...
We just barely passed last year
Even though Isumi-san was taking the test
Isumi-san will definitely pass this year!
Are you going to tell Isumi-san that you've been ditching all the matches when he becomes a pro!?
Don't you feel ashamed!?
You want to play Go, right!?
You want to play!
I'm going first, you ready?
16-4, Star!
You just though about where to play
Tell me about the response that you came up with!
Shindou!
You idiot!
Three days and two nights passes by like a flash
All that's is to say goodbye to Liu Xian Sheng and go home
Do you have time?
Let's go see Tien an men
I'd rather go shopping
No way I'm going to come all the way to China just to look around stores, right Isumi-kun?
What's wrong Shin-chan?
I'm sorry for brining this up at the last minute...
But I'm going to stay another day
I want to play him one more time
Isumi...
No way! I'm going shopping!
So I'll stay behind by myself
Him... You mean Zhao-kun?
Zhao-kun
I managed to beat him
But it was a very close game
To be able to play that well at his age...
He really showed me how strong the Go Institute of China is
I'm not surprised
Isumi, haven't you heard?
All the pros here were chosen out of the pros
China has pro players in every Sheng...
In Japanese that means "Prefecture"
Anyone that is thought to have potential out of all of them
Is gathered here in Bei'jing to get daily training
They live here, too
What!? They live here!?
Yeah
Well, people who make alot
Or people who get married
Seem to rent apartments nearby
There are only thirty or so young pros who are in their teens and twenties
So he is one of the chosen pros
He's living here, far away from his parents, at that age...
He's an exeptional child
What about school?
I don't think he goes to one
They have normal enough time for a normal education, but...
Well, they're already pros
Is something wrong?
Li Xian Sheng. Hello
Well
He said that he'd like to play Zhao-kun again...
Play Zhao again?
He can't accept the fact that he lost to Zhao yesterday
Please
Isumi-kun played well...
But Zhao neutralized his attack very effectively
I understand how Isumi-kun feels
I don't care how good he is
I don't want to go back to Japan while I'm still angry at myself for losing a game
That I did not do my best on
I can't, if I want to be confident during the pro exams this year
I see
But Zhao is going to be gone starting today
There is a match in a rural area
So he headed there
He should be back in afew days
Then Isumi-kun
why don't you study here for afew days until he comes back?
Liu-san!
Here?
The playing room here is a place for pros to train themselves
Everyone gathers there everyday
You can play however much you want
You're angry at youreself for losing to Zhao I understand that
But there's no need to be in such a hurry
How about it, Li Xian Sheng?
Anyone willing to work hard is welcome
Get a room in a nearby hotel
And come study here
Shin-chan
So, Isumi, What are you going to do?
I didn't expect this, but...
It might be a good opportunity!
Okay! Thank you for letting me stay here
How much do you know about this place?
It's a place where all the best pros gather
But it's a strict place
You're sent back to the rural provinces if you don't do well in your matches
There are people who don't improve as much as expected, Even if they have alot of potential
Li Xian Sheng manages both the studying of Go and the lifestyles of the players here
This is the playing room
You research new moves here Replay old games, play practice games...
It's a place of learning for the chosen pros
They're all young
A study session for Chinese pros...
Don't feel out of place!
I studied with pros at Kyuuseikai, too
They study here starting from 8:15 in the morning...
Le Ping!
Were you playing hooky again!?
Why do you always do that when I'm not around!
I wasn't playing hooky I just went to the bathroom
Don't lie to me!
Waya!
S-Sorry
Waya?
It's the name of a friend of mine in Japan
He looks just like him...
Li Xian Sheng? What's "Waya"? Is he talking about me?
Let me introduce him
This is Isumi-kun from Japan
He's going to be studying here for abit
Isumi-kun? A japanese pro?
Nope. He is someone who is just starting out
N-Nice to meet.... you all...
Isumi-kun! Isumi-kun!
Does Waya have an outie just like me!?
Le Ping!
It's already lunchtime!
Wait! Le Ping!
What a problem child...
Le Ping isn't very motivated to study Go
Li Xian Sheng must be annoyed with him
He's always yelling at him
He looked very young
He's a pro too, right?
Of course!
He came here last year at the age of eleven
It's time for lunch Why don't you eat with us, too?
Okay
Eat here on the first floor while you are here
Everyone eats here
You should go and get a hotel room as soon as you finish eating
You have two hours for lunch. That's plenty of time
Okay
Good luck
It may not be a long time. But if you work hard, you will learn something valuable
Okay...
Le Ping...
Oh no
I can't be relaxing just because I met a small version of Waya
You're going to play a game with one and a half hours each in the afternoon
We're playing leagues right now to test out everyone's strength
I'll write your name in, too
They are the members of the lower dan group, First dan through 3dan
You should play anyone who's free
Li Xian Sheng I'll play Isumi-kun
Le Ping?
How about it, Isumi-kun?
Le Ping...
I can't be losing to a child like him
Please
I underestimated him!
I belittled him too much in my mind
Le Ping is one of the chosen pros, too!
Isumi-kun, you were too forceful
This move was a mistake
It looked like black avoided white's attack well
But lost out during the fight
Did you really think that this would work?
You underestimated me
I can't lose, not to the likes of you, Isumi-kun
Good luck studying!
Le Ping!
He laughed...! At me!
How was he?
He sucks
Really?
This is a situation where you should move to the sides instead of towards the center
Yeah.
Black has strength on the top side and the right side
Everything they say is brilliant and well thought out... I can't join the conversation
Everyones been working here for months... no, years!
In a place where everyone around them is the elite of the pros...
From dawn until Dusk...
I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to learn here...
But...
If this place just serves to make me lose confidence in myself...
No, It's still alright when I'm angry at myself
If my self-anger were to turn into self-pity...
The best of the pros in their teens and twenties...
The elite of the pros who are stronger than players who are older than them
What can I accomplish here?
Isumi-kun
Yes
Want to play a game of speed Go? With ten seconds per move?
Okay...
I played ten second Go a lot in my free time at both Kyuuseikai and the Insei sessions
It depends on the instinct and ideas rather than reading ahead
Good luck
He's around my age...
But he's as strong as...
A 9dan pro from Japan!
I resign...
You resign? It's too early
White can pull back if black plays a Hane
But that would kill his cluster
So white can only cut and play elsewhere
Black loses the initiative
but he has no weaknesses
So he has the advantage
I thought he'd simply pull back, but he has to play elsewhere...
I resigned too early...
Let's clean up
I'll do it
Okay, let's play again sometime
I hear you came from Japan?
I was in my room all day today
So I just heard about you
Nice to meet you. I'm Yang Hai
I'm Isumi
What's wrong?
You seem tired
Where are you staying?
A nearby hotel?
Yes
I'm in a double
so there's an empty bed
Wanna stay there? Room 303
I thought foreigners were not allowed to stay here
Who cares? Who would know?
Li Xian Sheng always leaves by five
I'm not going to make you pay rent
No really, it's alright
Why not?
I want to spend sometime alone at the hotel...
Besides, I'm not staying long...
That's too bad
I was hoping you could tell me about the entertainment industry in Japan
But I guess someone who's here to study Go wouldn't know anything about that
Wanna play?
I'm done for today...
Oh? Okay?
I guess your tired
In the pro exam last year
To Shindou, Waya and Fuku only because of my determination
I was able to recover after losing three games in a row...
To beat Ochi
My Go supports me
I'll believe in my own capabilities
I was able to tell myself that... Back then...
But...
Will I be able to tell myself the same thing here in China?
Wil my Go surpport me here?
Ring my bell My chest that is full of noise Which listens and understands fate... Ring my bell ノイズだらけの胸で 運命を聞き分ける
Flickering My dream is inside me And it has been waiting to beawakened ひらめく 夢は私のなかで 目覚めを待ってた
Music is my thing As I seem to get accustomedto myself Music is my thing 自分らしくなれる
Music in my heart At a steady beat! Music in my heart ときめき鳴らして
Music is my thing My body moves! Music is my thing 体を動かす
Music in my heart I feel the light! Music in my heart 光を感じて
Music is my thing Painting in black and white! Music is my thing 白と黒で描く
Music in my heart The never ending harmony! Music in my heart 終わらない harmony
