Because Hiromi’s story is a little subtle and strange, It's a little hard just introduce it. I think making the translation of it maybe will be better. Subtitles in http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...90581849088011 helps me a lot. I’ve already tried to keep the meaning of each sentence. But my Japanese and English is not well enough, I could not translate very precisely and translate all the the subtle tone in oral speaking or subtle part in Japanese language. (and please forgive me my poor grammar /phrase ...orz)
In the following stroy, Hiromi: (xxx) mean what Hiromi is thinking in mind but not tell others.
Spoiler for Hiromi's story in drama cd:
(In a basketball game...)
girl ?: Aki
Aki : Yes!
Captain : Tomoyo, don’t mind.
Hiromi : ( After March, Mugiha senior high school girls basketball team soon face their last game against Hotarugawa’ team in this semester. Although it’s just a game between local senior high school clubs, it’s a tradition competition last about 5 years so that we cannot just easily surrender. )
girl ? : Hiromi, rebound !
Hiromi : Got it!
Hiromi : (But now there’s a problem in our team : Tomoyo’s shoot failed twice. She usually would hear captain’s encouraging voice but she cannot hear it now.)
(In the clubhouse)
girl ?: Is there anyone has good idea to pass next chemical test ?
girl ?: Teacher Murigawa right ? Always give us tests.
girl ?: Today i have to go back early.
girl ? : why ?
girl ? : part-time job.
girl ? : What !? You’ll in trouble if known by school.
girl ?: Shhhhhh , you speak too loudly
Tomoyo : Wow, Hiromi , that bra looks sexy. As expected a girl had a boyfriend is totally different.
Hiromi : Don’t be foolish. It’s just normal sports-bra.
Tomoyo : Hah, sorry ~
Tomoyo : Hey, Captain Takaoka looks a little out of spirits.
Hiromi : Yeah, looks not going very well.
Tomoyo : Although some said it’s not proper for a girls basketball team leader to go on with a boys basket ball team leader, i think it’s quite good. Do they break up ? I’m worry about her.
Hiromi : Captain Takaoka without spirits looks unlike usual her. But....
Tomoyo : What ?
Hiromi : Tomoyo is not as usual Tomoyo, either.
Tomoyo : err...what ?
Hiromi : Don’t just what, please get the point.
Tomoyo : heh( laugh unaturely)
Hiromi : Tomoyo already helpped me many times, now it’s my turn to listen to Tomoyo’s problem.
Tomoyo : So I was seen through..
Hiromi : then ?(smile)
Tomoyo : um...(embarrassed)
Hiromi : T-O-M-O-Y-O~
Tomoyo : err...how to say that...there’s a guy looks a little cool...
Hiromi : ?
Tomoyo : I think he’s good...
Hiromi : Tomoyo fall in love ? Wonderful !
Tomoyo : Wait, I just think he is not bad only !
Hiromi : When you think about that guy, would you feel your head hot ?
Tomoyo : Mhmm...( positive meaning=yes)
Hiromi : When you look that guy, would you feel thirsty ?
Tomoyo : Mhmm...
Hiromi : Ever cried when you’re alone ?
Tomoyo : Mhmm....wait, Hiromi, are you talking about yourself ?
Hiromi : Mhm
Tomoyo : Hah, you confessed that.
Hiromi : Yeah, so that’s true, right ?
Tomoyo : ha ha( laugh unaturely)
Hiromi : Is he in our school ?
Tomoyo : no...Hotarugawa...
Hiromi : err ? it cannot be... he’s in boys basketball team !?
Tomoyo : i think so.
Hiromi : Whatttt !?
girl ? : what ? what’s going on here ?
girl ? : Are you talking any good things ?
Tomoyo : No No, nothing special.
Tomoyo : Hiromi, your reaction is too over.
Hiromi : Sorry...(but still laugh)
Tomoyo : Although he is not as handsome as No.4, he looks a bit evil.( a kind of cool like bad boy)
Hiromi : So Tomoyo fall in love with someone finally. It’s wonderful.
Tomoyo : Mumm......
Hiromi : Everyone would fall in love with someone one day... (speak to herself quietly)
Tomoyo : err ?
Hiromi : I will support you, Tomoyo.
Tomoyo : Thank you.
Broadcast : Students who finished their club activity , please leave school as soon as possible. The door will be closed at 6:00 PM.
Hiromi : ( Between the schoolhouse and the playground lower 3 miles than schoolhouse, there’s a broad stair which could also be the seat of arena, called “stair bench”, is the place everyone would eat lunch there.)
Hiromi : ( Winter is gone and spring comes, everyone assemble there likes they’ve wait for a long time, eat the lunch box or bread bought from canteen happily. )
Hiromi : ( Recently, sometimes I would see Isurugi Noe sit here alone.)
Hiromi : ( “Everyone would fall in love with someone one day”...?)
(step sound and door opened)
Shinichiro : I’m back.
Shin’s mom : Welcome back, Shin-chan.
Hiromi : Welcome back, Shinichiro-kun.
(*step sound)
Shin’s mom : Welcome back.
Shinichiro : Hiromi, what are you doing ?
Shin’s mom : It’s none of your business.
Shinichiro : what the “none of your business”
Shin’s mom : All right all right , just go to the second floor quickly.
Shinichiro : cheh, what happened...
(*Hiromi and Shin’mom’s laugh sound and the sound closed door)
Shin’s mom : Now do you understand how to wear Hadajuban ? ( a kind of under-shirt of kimono)
Hiromi : Yes.
Shin’s mom : Then wear off it and try to wear on it by yourself.
(wearing cloth sound)
Shin’s mom : First, after draping over it, align the left and right collar, tighten it a bit.
(wearing cloth sound)
Shin’s mom : Yes, that’s it. And that could align with center of your back.
Shin’s mom : Kimono’s outline is not made by the filler, but is from tightening and lifting the underwear and Hadajuban completely.
Hiromi : Yes.
(Later)
Shinichiro : Learning how to wear kimono ?
Hiromi : Yeah, so is it proper to let Shinichiro-kun see my body when I’m wearing cloth ?
Shinichiro : Well..such thing...why don’t you just tell me directly ? I thought there’s something happened.
Hiromi : Not long ago, the “furisode” on me in Mugiha festival...( a kind of kimono mostly wear by girls who has not married)
Shinichiro : Oh ....that ...it looks very good on you.
Hiromi : So i hope i can wear it by myself when i want to be a little more beautiful, and talk with your mother. She said she’s willing to teach me how to wear it.
Shinichiro : Oh mom has many chances to wear kimono indeed.
Hiromi : Yeah, she seemed to have the certification of kimono wearing.
Shinichiro : oh, is it true?
Hiromi : And... when she’s helping me wearing kimono....(suddenly stopped)
Shinichiro : what ?
Hiromi : err...nothing.
Shinichiro : Oh please, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Hiromi : It’s really nothing special..um... there’s no club activity today, how about go to the beach after school ?
Shinichiro : Ah, it’s ok.
(sound of the sea)
Hiromi : ( I like the sea.)
Hiromi : ( I like the rough waves of sea of Japan, too.)
Hiromi : ( I didn’t know it before, The huge waves of sea of Japan is famous in the world.)
Hiromi : ( The color of the sea is more close to gray than blue...)
Hiromi : ( Maybe it’s not the sea normal girls would like it...)
Hiromi : ( But there are many things happened in this seacoast... many things I’ve think about here...)
Hiromi : ( And I think there will be more happened here in the future...)
Shinichiro : What happened ?
Hiromi : um, nothing...What’s that?
Shinichiro : err ?
Hiromi : ( In the blowing wind, there’s an old and broken house. It’s a bus station and only 3 buses would come per hour in average.)
Hiromi : Is it there, right ?
Shinichiro : err...yes...
Hiromi : I’m fine now. And it’s me want you to tell me.
Shinichiro : It is, but...
Hiromi : ( That’s the place where Shinichiro-kun let Isurugi Noe see the Raigomaru and Jibeta’ story. )
(sound of opening something)
Hiromi : Ah...I’m a little tired.
Hiromi : Isurugi-san...Does Shinichiro-kun remember what I tell you I talked with Isurugi-san in the first time?
Shinichiro : Yeah, you said “I was seen through” “Isurugi-san is awesome.”
Hiromi : I still think it’s right.
Shinichiro : I see.
Hiromi : At here, she read it, right ?
Shinichiro : err ? oh..yes she read my picture book here. And then ...
Hiromi : She walked back to hospital alone with her crutch.
Shinichiro : Mum...She said “You don’t have to back with me”. I think there’s no one could do like that.
Hiromi : Yeah, if it’s me, i could not do like that..
Shinichiro : Ahh ...I didn’t mean to ...
Hiromi : I know that.(with smile) But I could not do that if it’s me ....because it is too sad...
Shinichiro : I...
Hiromi : Stop. It’s all right if you don’t want to continue.
Hiromi : No, It’s not I have no willing to hear these things. But there’s something I want to say.
Hiromi : When I sit here, I feel that i could understand what’s Isurugi Noe’s feeling at that time.
Shinichiro : Hiromi...
Hiromi : At that time, Isurugi Noe was sitting here. She flatted the picture paper from paper plane, drying it with stove.
Shinichiro : Mumm.
Hiromi : Then she order the scattered picture and put them at the edge of the chair. And began to read.
(silence)
Hiromi : ....But the middle page of the picture book cannot be found.
Shinichiro : Ahh...
Hiromi : Oh I see, I was wrong. It must be the last page could not be found.
Shinichiro : Mumm.
Hiromi : Shinichiro-kun would eager to find it out dis-composedly.
Shinichiro : err...just a little.
Hiromi : Shinichiro-kun would do so undoubtedly. (laugh) To be honest, no one would do such things like making picture book to paper plane and throwing them into the sea.
Shinichiro : I’m all thumbs...
Hiromi : Really, you’re the first one.
(Both laughed)
Shinichiro : But she said “You don’t have to find it out, (Hiromi: eh?) “I’ll think the ending myself”
(silence)
Hiromi : ...take my hand.
Shinichiro : eh ?...oh...(sound of hand touched hand)
(silence)
Hiromi : It must be...Raigomaru took the flight undoubtedly.
It’s not because he want to be the first one to fly,
It's not because the others already took flight then he has to to fly,
Not for the glory, nor for setting the record,
It must be...must be.... he did this only for himself......
(bgm : 想いをおいてきて ~Reflect Tier~ =>熱気 ~麦端祭りのテーマ~ )
(silence)
Shinichiro : Hiromi....are you crying ?
Hiromi : heh ?
Shinichiro : The tears....and why are you silent for a long time ?
Hiromi : Sorry ...I was just in a trance.
(Hug sound)
(silent for a very long time) (Sorry to interrupt, but I'm curious about what the hell are they doing during the time -_-...)
Hiromi : There’s only one Isurugi Noe, right ?
Shinichiro : um...what’s that ? (~= what are you talking about ?)
Hiromi : heh ? oh sorry...it’s a strange question. However Isurugi Noe is not anyone else but Isurugi Noe
Shinichiro : Perhaps.
Hiromi : But...I....there’s only one me,too. I’m no any other one else either. I'm the only one Yuasa Hiromi.
(silence)
Shinichiro : Let’s get back by bus ?
Hiromi : um(= yes)
(car sound)
Hiromi : (Bus always comes at the wrong time.) (laugh slightly)
(Basketball sound)
Captain : Hey xxx, go to down-court quickly.
girl ? : Yes.
Captain : Hiromi, assists .
Hiromi : Yes.
( Bastketball sound)
Captain : Hiromi, run more faster.
Hiromi : Yes.
girl ? : Aki, cover there please.
Aki : ok.
(Later)
Tomoyo : Hiromi, are you free later ?
Hiromi : Oh it’s all right. What happened, Tomoyo ? Why so overcautious ?
Caption: (clap slowly) Everyone do xxxx( sorry i dunno what the meaning orz)
All : Yes!
Caption : Hiromi, come here.
Hiromi : Yes.
(running step sound)
girl ? : what’s it ?
Tomoyo : Dunno.
girl ? : Is captain Takaoka a little harsh on Hiromi recently ?
Aki : Maybe she is not going very well with her boyfriend and want to throw her shit ?
Tomoyo : Please don’t say stupid things, Aki.
Aki: But...
Tomoyo : Captain is not that kind of person. Everyone knows it, right ?
Aki : Sorry.
(cellphone ring)
Hiromi : Sorry i could not talk with you today.
Tomoyo : It’s all right. And what did captain Takaoka talk to you ?
Hiromi : She said i have to notice the details about everything. And said many abstract things....
such as “Hiromi sometimes would lose your focus suddenly.”
“Please think more how to pass the ball to maximize the effect to our team”
Tomoyo : But if it so, it seems that...
Hiromi : What ?
Tomoyo : Err...nothing.
Hiromi : TOMOYO, don’t just talk about me. Speak your things please.
Tomoyo: Me ? What ?
Hiromi : Don’t just “what”. Didn’t you just want to talk with me after basketball practicing ?
Tomoyo, Oh it’s true.
Hiromi : Then what happened on you with “him” ?
Tomoyo : “Him”...um...I saw something.
Hiromi: ( Tomoyo seemed to see that guy walked with a girl wearing the uniform of Hotarugawa recently.)
Hiromi : But you still could not determine the truth, could you ?
Tomoyo. I think so, but...
Hiromi : Maybe he was just talking about routine work of the club , maybe she’s his sister...
Tomoyo : But..of course Hiromi you could say that easily. You alread have......sorry , I don’t mean it .
Hiromi : ......what I could tell Tomoyo is not my own words from myself.
Tomoyo : er?
Hiromi : that’s the words I got from someone.
(Hiromi recall her memory)
(sound of wearing cloth)
Shin’s mom : Wait, please press here.
Hiromi : yes. is it here ?
(sound of tighten something)
Hiromi :uh...
Shin’s mom : Is it a little tighter?
Hiromi : No.
Shins mom : Isn’t it ? It would be easier to wear kimono if you wear it tightly.
Hiromi : Obasan’s skill is pretty well.
Shin’s mom : Thanks for your compliment.
Shin’s mom : I have think about that, sometimes I feel like I was your mother-in-law.
(Hiromi shy)
Shin’s mom : Forgive me said something weired. However...
Hiromi : Yes ?
Shin’s mom : Even so, I still want to be the “active” woman. ( contrast to retired )
Hiromi : heh ?
Shin’s mom : I think all women are connected with each other from a long time ago.
Hiromi : All connected with each other ?
Shin’s mom : Yeah, from ancient to now, woman fall in love repeatedly, cried with tears repeatedly...
Hiromi : Maybe it’s a bit weired. Is it a kind of feeling like “solidarity” ? ( it is a term means sharing same feelings/emotions even with different personality. It’s a little like a bound with each other or empathy.)
Shin’s mom : Yes, maybe it will be more closer to what i want to say. “Team play.”
(Hiromi laughed, and Shin’s mom laughed)
(Back to present)
Hiromi: Woman always supposed to be the “active player” at any time.
Tomoyo: What’s that ?
(both laughed)
Hiromi : I think everyone and me all wish Tomoyo could get your own happiness.
Tomoyo : Thank you, Hiromi. I have to hang up the phone now.
Hiromi : Ok, good night.
(hang up the cellphone)
Hiromi : (One week after Tomoyo called me, the day of the final game finally comes.)
girl ? : Hiromi, it’s long pass !
Hiromi : Understood !
(pass and shooting sound)
Captain : Don’t mind. Don’t mind.
girl ? : To you, Aki
Hiromi : ( Although we already do our best but we’ve suppressed by Hotarugawa’s power, the difference of our scores is increasing.)
Aki: ahhh...
Hiromi : Aki, it’s just the beginning. Don’t make that kind of sound.
Tomoyo : Hiromi.
Hiromi : Only 12 score. There will be still a way to win.
Tomoyo : I ...confessed.
Hiromi : what ?
Tomoyo : I CONFESSED.
Hiromi : Then what’s the result ?
Tomoyo : Aki~
(Tomoyo got the ball and dribbling)
Tomyo: Got it.
(scored sound)
girl ? : Tomoyo , nice shoot.
Hiromi : ( Tomyo’s 3 point shooting turned the tide of the game and made a huge change...)
(Whistle sound to end the game)
Captain: Everyone did very well, especially Tomoyo. That 3-point shooting is very good. It’s unlike usual you.
Tomoyo: Thanks, but I think “unlike usual you ” is unnecessary.
( All laughed)
Captain : Today i have an important thing to announce . We sophomore will be retired this autumn. The result of discussion of senior members is... In order to improve senior member and junior member’s relation and hand over the team smoothly, we decide that there will be one chosen to be the vice-captain from next year and she’ll be the next captain .
Captain : Hiromi.
Hiromi : heh? ( surprised)
Captain : Is there anyone has any comment about Hiromi being the first vice-captain ?
All : No comment.
Tomoyo : It’s wonderful. Hiromi.
Hiromi : heh..um!
Captain : Hiromi, Although i was a little harsh on you, now this team is depend on you.
(clap and hail)
Hiromi : ( Sitting on the “stair bench”, Isurugi Noe face the cold wind of March proudly. )
Hiromi : ( Perhaps it’s a little dazzling, she squint her eye, and look at the far distance.)
Hiromi : ( I also follow her sight-line and take a look, there’s nothing except the blue sky and the skylines of mountains. )
Hiromi : (No...maybe she’s just watching at that skylines.)
Hiromi : ( Then I leave away quietly from her back...)
