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
Waya, have you heard?
Murota 9dan, the head of the pros committee. Gave Shindou a call
And?
He asked if Shidnou was sick or needed to file for leave
But he didn't get a clear answer
That idiot!
I wonder if he's going to quit being a pro
I have no idea
And to think people thought he could become Touya's rival
Genius is meaningless if you don't play
If I were to want to play...
If I were to play Go again...
Sai...
Would be gone forever...
That...
I'm afraid of that
The Sixty-Ninth Match: The Determined Visitor
I haven't been in Japan for two months
The pro exams are approaching
Kadowaki, the former holder of three student titles. Will be taking them
It's finally starting next week
I wonder how everyone is doing...
The results from the match last week...
Ochi beat Mashiba!
Waya didn't have a match...
And Shindou...?
Forfeit!?
Isumi-san!
You haven't changed at all
You would look like you had just come back from training if you had a beard or something
I was surprised when you called
How was China?
What is it?
Le Ping! You grew up so quickly!
So that's what you were doing
Yeah. It's good that Le Ping started following me around and studying, but...
He was always glaring at me
What a brat
He's just a kid, but he's really good
But I did end up becoming good friends with him
All thanks to the Waya medicine
Waya medicine?
I gave him some medicine when he got a stomach ache
Remember?
The kind you always take when you have one
I figured since he looks just like you, The medicine would work on him too
That makes no sense!
Anyway, it worked like a charm
And we became good friends
And? What about your match against that Zhao Shi?
What happened?
I lost...
Zhao got Yang Hai-san's MD player
But I won the next time we played!
We played afew times after that, too
And I renewed my visa over there
Anyway, I played all that I could during the last two months
Surrounded by the top players of China and the future top players of China
It was really tough
But I won against afew people
And above all I've gained confidence in myself
Oh Yeah, what was it you wanted to ask me about that you mentioned on the phone?
This
I picked one up to read all this time,
and Shindou had a forfeit!
I was wondering what was wrong
Is he sick?
I wanted to see him again before the pro exams
So...
Waya?
That's not the only match Shindou has a forfeit on, Isumi-san
It's been like that since May
Don't trip now
I don't understand Don't trip now
I don't understand
It seems like he doesn't want to play Go anymore
Sai...
Oh, Isumi-kun!
Hello, long time no see
I heard from Mr. Narusawa
you were studying in China?
When did you get back?
Just the other day
Would you mind telling me what the young players there were like sometime?
Okay
Sure
I'll contact you later then, thank you
Umm... Amono-san
Have you heard anything about Shindou?
Shindou Hikaru first dan?
Yes
I don't understand why he hasn't gone to any of the matches, and...
I don't know
Ogata Jyudan asked me about it earlier, too
Master Ogata?
Master Ogata!
You played Shindou?
Yeah, towards the end of Golden Week
One night during the Go seminar run by the Go institute
To the best of my knowledge
He hasn't gone to any matches or the Wakajishisen since then
Was anything out of the ordinary when he played you?
Out of the ordinary?
I was really drunk
Thank you for the ride
Don't worry about it
Let me know if you learn anything about Shindou
Okay
So he hasn't come here either
I'd beat him to a pulp if he did
Yelling "What the hell are you thinking!?"
I'm sure there's a reason
What?
Well, I don't know exactly what
But Kawai-san remember what you said about visiting Shuusaku?
Shuusaku? As in Honinbou Shuusaku?
I think it was towards the end of Golden Week
I bumped into him during work
Oh, did you know that I'm a taxi driver?
And what happened?
Well, it looked like he was going on a trip so I asked him where he was going
He said Innoshima
So I went with him
Since it was where Shuusaku was born. I was interested, too
And the kid ran around everywhere
The Shuusaku memorial at Ishikiri Shrine
Housenji Temple, Itosaki Hachibanguu, Jikanji Temple...
Even to Honmyouji Temple in Sugamo when we got back to Tokyo
Man, I was busy
And how was Shindou during the trip?
Did he act out of the ordinary?
Let's see...
Now that I think about it, he seemed really panicky...
As if he was in a hurry...
It seemed like he was searching for something
Searching for something?
Shindou
Why aren't you playing, Shindou?
I'm going to make you tell me
I'm sorry for coming without calling
He should be home from school soon
Oh, I'll bring you some tea
don't worry about it
There's alot of dust on it
He really hasn't been playing...
Shindou...
I'm home
Shindou?
It's... Isumi-san...
Hikaru, why where you in such a hurry?
It wasn't Sai...
I felt that someone was in my room
so I was hopeful, but...
It wasn't... Sai...
He just got here
I'll bring you some tea, too
I don't want any
Thank you very much
Make yourself at home
It's been awhile, Shindou
Isumi-san, you were in China?
Yeah, I was studying there the last two months
And I just got back afew days ago
But more imporantly, what's wrong with you?
Waya told me you haven't been going to any of the matches or study sessions
Shindou
Oh man...
Should I run away somewhere?
But I can't leave Isumi-san here
I haven't seen him in so long
You said that Touya was your rival
Did you lose your will to play because you thought you would never catch up to Touya?
Touya has nothing to do with this
What do you mean, I don't stand a chance?
You didn't know?
He's playing at an incredible level already
An incredible level?
Players rising in rank...
Touya... He's 3dan already!?
And look at the section above that about this weeks matches
Under todays date
Hagiwara 8dan, Touya 3dan...
Honinbou match, third preliminaries, final match
Final match of the third preliminaries!?
Master Kuwabara!
Your match is already over, Master?
Not at all
My opponent, Mano, is taking his time thinking, so I came for a smoke
How is Touya's successor doing?
They're fighting everywhere
It's a difficult game for both of them
But it would be incredible if Touya-Kun were to win
Third dan at the age of fifteen!
Someone who's been a pro for two years entering the Honinbou league...
Kurata-kun lost to you, Master In this year's Honinbou match
But when Touya-Kun joins in for the competition to become the Honinbou challenger for next year
The new wave will finally be here
But I wonder what's wrong with Shindou-Kun
To think he had the attention of Master Kuwabara, Master Ogata,
and even Master Touya Kouyou
Don't worry
hardship and doubt are both necessary
Amono-san, I'm not worried at all
So long as that successor of Touya's who dragged that brat into the world of the pros
Is struggling hard to reach the top
There's no need to worry
He will return...
Before the opponent that he needs to face
You speak as if Shindou-Kun is Touya-Kun's destined rival
You're overestimating him
I'm not overestimating him
Touya Akira himself thinks so
Touya...
He's already gotten this far...
If he wins today
He'll join a league of eight top pros to compete for the right to challenge Master Kuwabara
How strong has he gotten?
It seems like you still love the game
Why don't you play it then?
I... I'm... Not interested in this stuff
Besides, what business of it is yours if I quit playing Go?
Quit playing GO!? Are you serious!?
Shindou
Let's play a game
Wait, Isumi-san! I don't want to play!
Leave me alone!
Don't worry about me!
I'm not saying this out of concern for you
Play me...
Play me for my sake
That's what I'm here for today
I...sumi-san...
Shindou, do you remember?
The match between us during the pro exams last year...
Oh no, I went to Atari from the wrong side!
I...
That match last year
When I resigned for violating the Hagashi rule
During that long period when I considered my violation
When I thought about whether I could pretend that I didn't violate the rule
It's a bitter memory
Shindou
That was the last match I played against you
I want to play a clean game against you before the pro exams this year
Shindou! Please!
Let me start again from there!
Isumi-san...
Please! Shindou!
But... I...
If I play Go again... Sai won't...
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
