Synopsis

Like in Ima Suki ni Naru., Hina reveals to the audience that she got into Sakuragaoka for the sole purpose of being in the same school as Koyuki. When she's in, she tries as many subtle gestures for grabbing his attention as possible , but he remained oblivious. She acklowledges that she doesn't have much time with him left in school, given that he's about to graduate, but she still decides to pursue him anyway.

We have a couple of imagination spots where Hina imagines being a couple with Koyuki, and in the beginning, her confessing to him. Delusions stay delusions, and she becomes frustrated that he won't acknowledge or discover her feelings for him.

At one point, she notices that Koyuki is in love with another person, and that her crush might not go anywhere. Nevertheless, time passes, school goes on, and eventually time comes for Koyuki to graduate. Hina decides to swallow her feelings in order to give Koyuki the peace of mind necessary to graduate, and lets her first love go.

The final scene lingers on Hina and Kotarou about to begin their second year of high school, with further elaboration in Daikirai na Hazu Datta.

Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
気になる人の話ですか？　聞きたくない話	ki ni naru hito no hanashi desu ka? kikitaku nai hanashi
でもこっそり　耳を傾けて　イライラして	demo kossori mimi wo katamukete iraira shite
理由なんてものも　それなりわかってて	riyuu nante mono mo sorenari wakattete
それでも気になってしまってて	sore demo ki ni natte shimattete
好きになるくらい許してください　告白する勇気なんて	suki ni naru kurai yurushite kudasai kokuhaku suru yuuki nante
持ち合わせてない　ただ好きになった気持ちは　嘘じゃないから	mochi awasete nai tada suki ni natta kimochi wa uso ja nai kara
ごめん　応援	gomen ouen
できないよ　うまくいくな！！	dekinai yo umaku iku na!!
最低な願い事だよ	saitei na negaigoto da yo
性格悪い悪魔の事を	seikaku warui akuma no koto wo
応援しちゃうよ	ouen shichau yo
「おはよう！寝癖ついてるよ」　初めて言えた	"ohayou! neguse tsuiteru yo" hajimete ieta
君は恥ずかしそうに　「ナイショ」	kimi wa hazukashisou ni "naisho"
そんなの　ずるいって･･･	sonna no zuruitte...
毎日が少し宙に浮き	mainichi ga sukoshi chuu ni uki
ミルクとパンダはシロクマで	miruku to panda wa shirokuma de
世界が弾むよ	sekai ga hazumu yo
君の好きな人に　好きな子がいたらなんて願う悪魔	kimi no suki na hito ni suki na ko ga itara nante negau akuma
「いけないことですか？」　「だよね」　「わかってますよ」　独り言です	"ikenai koto desu ka?" "da yo ne" "wakatte masu yo" hitorigoto desu
嫌だよ　絶対！	ya da yo zettai!
ヤキモチがいて　もがいて	yakimochi ga ite mogaite
楽にさせてくれないよ	raku ni sasete kurenai yo
話したくて探して　君を	hanashitakute sagashite kimi wo
独り占めしたくて	hitorijime shitakute
「話があります！　今日放課後　4時10分　この教室で」	"hanashi ga arimasu! kyou houkago yoji juppun kono kyoushitsu de"
心臓鳴り止まない　少し　少しの間の我慢だから	shinzou nari yamanai sukoshi sukoshi no aida no gaman dakara
君はうなずく	kimi ha unazuku
もし　もしね　付き合えたら　毎日笑わせてみせるよ	moshi moshi ne tsukiaetara mainichi warawasete miseru yo
5分前の　おまじない　いくよ･･･	gofun mae no omajinai iku yo...
「僕じゃダメですか？」	"boku ja dame desu ka?"

A conversation about who you like? That's something I don't wanna hear
But secretly I'm glued to your every word. So annoying...

I know the reason why I'm this way,
But still...it's always on my mind

Please forgive the fact that I've fallen in love with you
But as for the courage to tell you...
...I just don't have it
Since the only thing that's true are these feelings

Sorry but...I can't cheer for you!
I hope it doesn't go well!!
The worst thing you could wish for someone!
I'm cheering you badly like this...
...with this terrible personality of mine

D"Good morning! You got some bed-head you know." It was the first thing I was able to say
Looking all embarrassed you said "It's a secret"
Gah, saying it like that is unfair

My everyday seemed to be floating in air
Milk and a Panda become a white bear,
The world is so lively!

I'm a jerk who hopes that the person you like already has someone else
"I know right?"
"It's hopeless, isn't it?"
"I know..."
Just talking to myself
This is no good, not at all!

Being jealous,
Continuing to struggle,
It just won't let me be at ease
Wanting to talk to you, going to look for you...
I want to have you to myself...

"I have something I want to tell you! Today after school,"
"At 4:10pm in this classroom right here"
The sound of my heart won't stop ringing in my ears
Trying to bear with it for a bit like this...
You nodded...

You know, just supposing,
If you would go out with me...
I'd show you that I could make you smile every single day!
A good luck charm said 5 minutes before the big moment
Time to go...
"Would you have me?"
