Episode 1: Encounter with Smoke (スモークとの出会い)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
Are you Takuto? 君がタクトくんかな?

...?! No way... Mr. Smoke, the pianist... you're here to see me...?! ・・・!?まさか・・・
ピアニストのスモークさんが・・・
僕に会いに・・・!?
Sounds like I'm famous in a few circles. Anyways, looks like I was right- you're Takuto. オレも有名になったものだな
どうやらキミがタクトくんで間違いなさそうだ
One of my friends told me there's a student here who's pretty good with the piano. I was hoping to hear that skill myself... so how about it? 知り合いからこの学園に
すごいピアノを弾く生徒がいると聞いてね
ぜひ見せてもらいたいのだが・・・
今どうかな?
Um... U-understood. えっ・・・
わ わかりました
(I can't show him a poor performance here... you understand that, don't you?) ここは下手な演奏は見せられない・・・
わかってるね?
(Got it! Let's play some piano!~) ウン
ピアノ ひこう ひこう!

Episode 2: Strange Feeling (違和感)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
♪♪♪ー!
(Takuto comes into view.)
How was it? いかがでしたか?
Hm... it was very intense and passionate, and brilliant on a technical level. But... something felt strange about it... うーむ・・・
非常に激しく情熱的だ
技術的にはすばらしい
だが・・・何か違和感というか・・・
... Is that really you? ・・・あれは本当に君なのかな?

Huh...?! えっ・・・!?
I don't want to say it wasn't heartfelt... it was, but it didn't feel like it was your heart... I'm not sure if I can explain it better. 心がこもってない・・・
というわけでもないのだが
君の心ではないような・・・
うまく言い表せないが
...Mr. Smoke, could you please listen to me perform again? ・・・スモークさん
もう一度僕の演奏を
聞いていただけますか?

...? Sure, I don't mind. ・・・?かまわないが
(This time, I'll be the one playing...!) 今度は僕が弾く・・・!
(Huh?! Takuto... you're gonna play it alone...?) エッ!?
タクトが・・・ひくの・・・?

Final Episode: The True Self (本当の自分)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
♪♪♪〜
(Takuto comes into view again.)
...This time... what do you think...? ・・・今度・・・
どうでしょう・・・?
Hm... to be honest, there's still a lot of room for improvement on a technical level. But it was a very nice and warm performance- I'd be hard-pressed to disregard it on the technicals alone. ふむ・・・正直なところ
技術的にはまだまだだが
あたたかい良い演奏だったよ
先ほどのも捨てがたいが
...Mr. Smoke, that performance... that was the real me... ・・・スモークさん
今のが・・・本当の僕で・・・
The real...? Oh, I see. It's like you've got another soul in you... is that close? 本当の・・・?
そうか 君の中には
もう一人 誰かがいる・・・
のかな?
...Yeah, something like that. The truth is that I'm still working to improve this part of me- not even for any awards. So may you please give me some pointers to play better? ・・・そんなところです
本当の僕はまだまだ未熟で
賞なんて無縁なんです
だから僕にピアノを教えていただけませんか?
I'm a busy guy, y'know. But you can go from being intense and passionate to gentle and lyrical... You're really something else! オレも忙しいが
激しく情熱的な君と
優しく叙情的な君・・・
なかなかおもしろい!
Alright, kid! I can't drop by every day, but I'll check in on you now and again. Now, it's time for a lesson! よし!毎日というわけにはいかないが
ときどき様子を見に来るよ
さぁさっそくレッスンだ!

...! Thank you so much!! ・・・!
ありがとうございます!
(Takuto... he's playing piano again... I'm so happy...! ♪) タクトが・・・ピアノをひく・・・
ウレシイ・・・♪
