First Previous Chapter

Translators notes: I hope you enjoy Kakeru and Yu’s adventures in the land of freedom and burgers the size of small children! If something seems very familiar about this chapter, that’s because... it is? 

Yu: Hey!! What are you planning to do with me?!

Kakeru: It seemed to me like there was something on your mind lil’ bro. So I thought that if I took you to the birthplace of entertainment, Hollywood!! 

...Then you would be able work some things out. I just happen to have a business meeting in the states anyway, so this is on me! 

Yu: Well that’s all well and good, but why did you have to kidnap me?!

Kakeru: I just figured if I invited you the normal way you would be weird about it. Hollywood is where that genius songwriter Kouji Mihama is, right? He’ll be the perfect resource for all your songwriting troubles, yeah? 

Yu: I.. I don’t need Kouji’s help to write a great song! 

Kakeru: Oh, we’re almost there! Fasten your seat belt lil’ bro! We’re going down! 

Yu: Wo.... woahhhh! 

Kakeru: See! You made it here in one piece! 

Yu: I... I thought I was a goner for sure.... And by the way, I haven’t prepared for this at all. 

Kakeru: No problem, I brought your passport! 

Yu: Oh, I see.... wait, how did you get my passport?!

Kakeru: Details, details. Look, it’s time to head through immigration. 

Yu: Hey um... what is he saying? I... only know the English I learned in grade school... Wait! Kakeru, you’re fluent in English?!

Kakeru: Ahah. I guess you could say that... I took some courses for business reasons... 

Yu: Woah...

Kakeru: W... well anyway, let’s enjoy the good ol’ land of freedom, the U.S.A!  

Yu: Ah! Wait for me! 

Kakeru: First let’s get something in our stomachs. Speaking of America, hamburgers are just the thing right? 

Yu: Woah it’s huge. Uhhg... I can’t eat any more.... 

Kakeru: It’s about as big as your face, lil’ bro! That’s America for you! Everything’s on a totally different scale! This anything goes type of atmosphere is just right for the two of us, don’t you think?

Yu: Maybe not for me... I ordered coffee and they brought me cola... 

Kakeru: It’s difficult to pronounce coffee in English isn’t it? Oh! Maybe they thought you were too much of a kid for coffee. 

Yu: S...Shut up! 

Kakeru: WOAH?! Hey, look over there! 

Yu: What are you talking about..? Hm? That’s?!

Kakeru: It’s only that super famous actress Pangelina!! Wow! I can’t believe it’s really her! I’m floored! 

Yu: Oh.. and over there is... Prad Pit! 

Kakeru: You’re right!! That’s Hollywood for you! They’re always doing film shoots all over the place. 

Yu: Wow, it’s like watching a live movie.... 

Kakeru: Oh ho ho. Even you can be a fanboy sometimes. 

Yu: It’s not like that! 

Kakeru: I’m just glad you’re happy lil’ bro! 

Yu: I’m not I... Well, I guess it’s pretty cool we got to see such a rare sight. Hey! Wait, no! 

Kakeru: Huh? 

Yu: We’re not here for sightseeing! We came to Hollywood... to see Kouji! 

Kakeru: Oh, oh yeah. Well, here’s the address for the studio Kouji should be at. I have a meeting soon, so you can go in the meantime. 

Yu: What?! By myself...!

Kakeru: Well you’re the one who needs songwriting advice. Or were you hoping for moral support from little ol’ me--

Yu: No! Okay fine, I got it. I’ll go see Kouji by myself. 

(In front of the studio)

Yu: This is the place... wow it’s so glamorous... 

*ding dong* 

Kouji: Hi.... Yu? 

Yu: H... hey... long time no see.... 

Kouji: What are you doing here?! 

Yu: Kakeru said he had a business meeting so I got a lift on his personal jet. 

Kouji: Oh I see... so... what else brings you? 

Yu: Umm.... I just came to make sure you’re taking care of yourself! 

Hiro, Kazuki, and my sister have been worried sick you’ll be found dead on a roadside or something being all the way out here in America. 

Kouji: You came all the way out here for that?

Yu: Well.... 

Kouji: ....Is there something you want to talk about?

Yu: Huh?! 

Kouji: I can tell a lot about you from looking in your eyes. 

Yu: Kouji.... I.... 

Kouji: But there’s nothing for us to discuss. 

Yu: Wha.... ?

Kouji: I’m glad to see you again. But if you’re not able to solve your own problems by your own wits, it won’t mean anything. 

Yu: .....

Kouji: I’m sorry, Yu. I have a lot of work to do. 

 Yu: Yeah... of course... I’m sorry I interrupted you... 

Kouji: It’s no problem. Well, see you. 

(Later)

Kakeru: Well, the meeting’s over. Oh, hey lil’ bro! How’d things go with Kouji-san! 

Yu: .....He sent me away. 

Kakeru: WHAAT?! What do you mean?! 

Yu: He took one look in my eyes and knew I brought some kind of baggage. 

Kakeru: Well, that’s Kouji-san. 

Yu: I wanted to hear what kind of songs he’s been working on over here. 

Kakeru: Yeah... 

Yu: I know Kouji better than anyone. But that just makes me want to know more and more about him. So I.... I wanted him to listen to my problems... but... 

Kakeru: Hey, hey don’t get so down! I’m sure Kouji-san was just really busy, right?? He probably has some big deadline coming up. If we go again tomorrow...

Yu: He slammed the door in my face... Kouji.... Kouji...... 

Kakeru: Lil’bro.... 

Yu: ...........KOUJI!!!! THAT FRIKKIN JERK!!!!! 

Kakeru: Wha?! I thought you were super depressed. But you’re actually just really angry?!

Yu: Don’t go all thinking you’re hot stuff just because you’re big in America! I didn’t cross a whole ocean just to bow down to you! How dare you kick me out before hearing even a word I have to say! Are you kidding me?! 

Kakeru: Oh.... It’s great yelling at the ocean, isn’t it? 

Yu: Kouji’s totally underestimating me.  I have no choice but to get revenge until he’s groveling at my feet, kissing my shoes! 

Kakeru: Revenge...? What exactly are you planning to do? 

Yu: I.... 

(Back at the studio)

*ding dong*

Kouji: Yu... You’re back? And you brought Kakeru?

Yu: Kouji. I challenge you to a Prism Show battle.
