Oh yes, here are the three of Yumi’s favorite stories mentioned in this episode:

- Goethe’s “The Sorrows of Young Werther”
- Natsume Souseki’s “Kokoro”
- John Galsworthy’s “The Apple Tree”

All do end tragically ^^;

I did find the CG alto sax funny, but the frogs are starting to grind away at small bits of my soul.

I concur.

Danke. I think I heard ‘onna’ instead of ongaku before he went into his generic speech about spending your life on a dream. I’m also pretty sure that I was also still laughing at the mangled reading of FDR’s “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” speech.

Thank you for the nice summary, although there’s a point to two I understood differently:

Kazuki asks her if she remembers the park that they played in and the crazy jump she did off the swing. He and Kouichi thought that was really amazing and looked up to her.

Flash back to Kazuki on the swing and the other two cheering him on. Like Kouichi, Kazuki is spineless, even with Mao yelling at him to be a man. He finally jumps though.

Mao remembers this with a yell and goes off onto her own nostalgic journey through the past about how amazing that jump was, but Kazuki just starts staring off into nothing.

If I heard things correctly, as Kazuki remembered was that Kouchi made the jump, but he didn’t. But Mao recalled that he did finally made the jump, and made it farthest? This was what put him into “I’ve conquer my fear before” mode, and asked Futami to continue the experiment.

Kai and Mao are in their English lesson. Kai is called on to translate, but he apologizes for not paying attention. The teacher razzes him for thinking about a girl or something and makes someone else do it.

Again, I think the teacher mentioned music (and not girl) and something about having a dream is okay, but one must be responsible to current as well. I think this (Kai having problem at school) will be one of the issues for this pair.
