Souseiseki-! [ 1:04] Barasuishou: [Giggling.] [ 1:08] Souseiseki: [Grunt.] ... BARASUISHOU-!! [ 1:11] [Whoosh.] [ 1:12] Souseiseki: What-?! She dodged it?! [ 1:15] Shinku: No! Souseiseki-! [ 1:17] [Crash.] [ 1:18] Souseiseki: [Scream.] [ 1:19] [Thud.] [ 1:19] Souseiseki: [Grunt.] [ 1:20] Hinaichigo: Ah-! Souseiseki-! [ 1:22] Suiseiseki: SOUSEISEKI!! [ 1:24] Barasuishou: [Giggle.] [ 1:25] Shinku: Look out! Suiseiseki, Hinaichigo-! [ 1:28] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: ...? [ 1:29] [Blast.] [ 1:30] Suiseiseki and Hinaichigo: [Yelling.] [ 1:30] [Shooting sounds.] [ 1:34] Hinaichigo: Ooooh~! [ 1:34] Suiseiseki: [Whimper.] [ 1:34] [Crumbling sounds.] [ 1:38] [Slow footsteps approaching.] [ 1:38] Barasuishou: Weak... Is this all they amount to...? ... Father... [ 1:47] Shinku: [Grunt.] ... Barasuishou... [ 1:52] Barasuishou: [Grunt.] Shinku... stood up...? ... But... I am the one who will win... [ 2:04] [Magic sounds.] [ 2:04] [Clinking.] [ 2:06] Souseiseki: [Grunt.] Shinku... [ 2:08] Hinaichigo: I... it's no use ~na no...! [ 2:10] Suiseiseki: R... run away ~desu, Shinku...! [ 2:16] [Brandishing sword.] [ 2:17] Barasuishou: Shinku... This will be... the end... [ 2:22] Shinku: [Grunt.] I... will not fight. [ 2:28] [Brandishing sword.] [ 2:28] Barasuishou: ...? [ 2:30] Souseiseki, Suiseiseki, and Hinaichigo: ...? [ 2:31] Souseiseki: Shinku... [ 2:35] [Music stops.] [ 2:36] Shinku: Why... do you wish to fight? [ 2:41] Barasuishou: "Why... do you wish to fight...?" [ 2:47] Shinku: Barasuishou...! [ 2:48] Barasuishou: The Alice Game... fighting... is Father's wish. [ 2:55] Shinku, Souseiseki, Suiseiseki, and Hinaichigo: [Gasp.] [ 2:57] Barasuishou: And Father's wish... is my wish... [ 3:03] Shinku: Barasuishou... TRACK 3 - QUARTZ [ 0:00] [Music starts.] [ 0:02] [Polishing sounds.] [ 0:06] Enju: Mm... ... Barasuishou. What's the matter? [ 0:15] Barasuishou: Nothing... Father, what is that...? [ 0:21] Enju: A piece of quartz. [ 0:23] Barasuishou: It is... quartz? [ 0:27] Enju: Yes. [ 0:30] Barasuishou: Quartz... [ 0:33] Enju: Are you concerned about it? [ 0:35] Barasuishou: ... No. Forgive me, Father... [ 0:41] Enju: That's all right. ... Now it's finished. [ 0:49] [Jingle.] [ 0:50] Enju: [Chuckle.] [ 0:52] Barasuishou: [Happy sound.] [ 0:55] Enju: Barasuishou. Does it please you? [ 1:00] Barasuishou: Yes... It is very pretty... [ 1:06] Enju: Is it? [ 1:08] [Footsteps.] [ 1:10] [Clink.] [ 1:10] Barasuishou: [Gasp.] Father...? [ 1:14] Enju: It's a hair ornament, of quartz. [ 1:18] Barasuishou: ... A quartz... hair ornament...? [ 1:25] Enju: Yes, of rose quartz*, a hair ornament made just for you. [* The name Barasuishou means "rose quartz".] [ 1:35] Barasuishou: [Happy sound.] For me...! ... [Giggle.] Thank you very much, Father! [ 1:45] Enju: It suits you well. [ 1:49] Barasuishou: [Giggle.] [ 1:50] [Footstep.] [ 1:52] Enju: Quartz is... a growing stone. [ 1:56] Barasuishou: ...? Quartz... grows...? [ 2:03] Enju: Taking many tens of thousands of years, to grow into a large crystal... Amethysts, citrines, morions... There are many colors and varieties, but all of them evolve over time. Yes... Quartz is a very special stone. [ 2:27] Barasuishou: A special stone...? ... Father... [ 2:34] Enju: What is it? [ 2:36] Barasuishou: Will I... evolve, too...? Like a piece of quartz... [ 2:45] Enju: Yes. [ 2:47] Barasuishou: I am... Father's... [ 2:53] Enju: ... Barasuishou! [ 2:59] Barasuishou: Yes? [ 3:00] Enju: You are... my creation, the greatest of all dolls! [ 3:07] Barasuishou: ...! [ 3:10] Enju: Yes. The most beautiful in the world... You are a very special doll, Barasuishou... [ 3:24] Barasuishou: [Happy sound.] Father...! [ 3:38] [Music stops.] TRACK 4 - I'LL BE WAITING [ 0:01] [Sirens in the distance and ambient night sounds.] [ 0:05] Megu: What are you watching? [ 0:08] [Rustle.] [ 0:11] Megu: The full moon. So pretty... Say, Suigintou? ... With the moonlight shining down on you, you're pretty too, Suigintou. [ 0:27] Suigintou: Hm? ... I was thinking you were about to say something like that... [ 0:33] Megu: Just like an angel. [ 0:35] Suigintou: [Grunt.] Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that? [ 0:39] Megu: [Giggle.] Oh, what's wrong with it? With the moonlight shining on you, my dear black angel gleaming with a silvery light. [ 0:50] Suigintou: [Grunt.] [ 0:52] Megu: Your hair twinkling, swaying just as if it were flowing - you're really pretty. [ 1:01] Suigintou: ... Hmph. Say it, why don't you. [ 1:04] Megu: Yes. My dear black angel, mine alone. [ 1:11] Suigintou: ... Don't get so full of yourself. [ 1:14] Megu: [Giggle.] [ 1:17] Suigintou: Hmph. [ 1:17] [Music starts.] [ 1:20] Megu: I had a physical check-up again today. [ 1:23] Suigintou: ... Oh? [ 1:26] Megu: The usual check-up, the usual meal... and the usual nurse telling me, "You'll get well soon now, so hang in there, okay?" [Sigh.] It's stupid, isn't it? Because, my heart has been defective since the time I was born, so there's no way that it could get better... [ 1:57] Suigintou: ... [ 1:59] Megu: It's useless giving me check-ups. They're the ones who should understand that the most... [Giggle.] It's comical, isn't it? ... They, too, must be thinking, "How long can she survive?" and, "When will she die?" But I don't die, and everyone gets tired out... I wonder, for what purpose was I born? Say, Suigintou? [ 2:47] Suigintou: What? [ 2:49] Megu: When are you going to use my life energy? [ 2:54] Suigintou: Hah? [ 2:56] Megu: I wish you would use it soon. [ 3:00] Suigintou: ... [ 3:02] Megu: Please... [ 3:03] Suigintou: Cut it out! [ 3:05] Megu: Suigintou? [ 3:06] Suigintou: I don't care what you wish for! I don't take orders from anyone! If you want to die so badly, then you should die on your own! [ 3:14] [Standing up.] [ 3:16] Megu: Are you leaving? [ 3:17] Suigintou: It's none of your business where I go. But, yes... If I were to try and grant what you wish for, then your chances would be better if I were to go out rather than staying here like this... [ 3:34] [Wings unfurling.] [ 3:36] Megu: Suigintou? [ 3:38] Suigintou: However, it would be the same whether I had your power or not. Because I, Suigintou, have no need for any Medium. [ 3:48] Megu: Say, Suigintou? ... I'll leave the window open for you, so... [ 3:57] Suigintou: ... Do as you like. [ 3:58] [Taking flight.] ... [ 4:04] Suigintou: Megu's life energy... Megu's wish? "For what purpose was I born?" she asks?! What the hell is that about?! So stupid! My wish, my objective, is only one thing - to win the Alice Game. If I had the need... [Chuckle.] I would use as much of her life energy as I wanted! After all, that is what a Medium is for! Yes... Because, the only one who is waiting for me is Father! [ 4:40] [Music stops.] TRACK 5 - ROZEN MAIDENS [ 0:01] [Birds singing.] [ 0:03] [Rustle] [ 0:04] Kanaria: Well, I wonder if he'll get home soon ~kashira - Shinku's Master? [ 0:08] [Music starts.] [ 0:10] Kanaria: Heh-heh-heh! It's my "infiltrate-through-the-front-hallway-while-the-door- is-open" strategy! Last time, I failed because it took an unexpectedly short time for the door to close, but this time I've got a secret weapon! Ta-daaah~! An elephant door-stop ~kashiraaa! With this, I'll prevent the door from closing and infiltrate through the front hallway! And then, I will wreak my revenge on Shinku and the others! What's more, the only weak point in my strategy is that, until Shinku's Master gets home, I've got nothing to do and it's boooring! Well, I've got that covered with Micchan's homemade sugar-filled sweeeet fluffy fried egg boxed lunch! Heh-heh-heh! This time for sure... This time for sure...! In the face of the strategy of me, Kanaria - the foremost strategist of the Rozen Maidens - the likes of Shinku and the others stand no chance...! Heh-heh-heh! Waaah-ha- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! ... Well then, let's at once have some of Micchan's special boxed lunch... [ 1:14] [Pop.] [ 1:15] Kanaria: Time to eat~! But...? ... EHHHH?! S-Shinku's Master is home already ~kashiraaa?! [ 1:23] [Footsteps approaching.] [ 1:25] Kanaria: I-it's too soon ~kashira! There's nothing about this in the plan book ~kashira! [ 1:32] Kanaria: [Thinking:] C-calm down ~kashira, Kana! Yes, this is your chance ~kashira! [Whimper.] But, Micchan's fried eggs... I was just about to eat them, but...! ... Ah-!! Maybe I can eat them?! With the right timing, I could concentrate and eat them all in one instant ~kashira! [ 1:54] [Door opening.] [ 1:55] Jun: I'm home! [ 1:57] Kanaria: [Thinking:] N-now ~kashira! [Yell.] [ 2:00] Jun: Oh, yeah, the mail. I wonder if anything came? [ 2:03] Kanaria: [Thinking:] Daaah! No waaay-! [ 2:06] [Squish.] [ 2:06] Jun: Hm? Uh? [ 2:09] Kanaria: Uehh... I've been found out, as simple as that ~kashira...? [ 2:14] Crow: Caw! Caw! [ 2:17] [Swoop.] [ 2:19] [Wings beating.] [ 2:19] Kanaria: Eeeek! K-Kana's fried eggs are...! [ 2:24] Crow: Aho~! Aho~! [ 2:24] [Flying off.] [ 2:27] [Music stops.] [ 2:28] Kanaria: Kana's... fried eggs... [ 2:33] [Footsteps.] [ 2:33] Jun: A-ahh... ... Umm, if I'm not mistaken, you're Ka... Ka... Ka... Kanikousen*? [ 2:44] Kanaria: Yes, exactly! I'm Takiji Kobayashi's literary work on the struggle of the proletaria-... NO-! It's KANARIA!! It sounds completely different, so cut that out and remember it ~kashira!! [* "Kanikousen" ("Crab Canning Boat") is a story by Takiji Kobayashi (1903-1933), author and early Communist Party activist.] [ 2:55] Jun: Yeah, I know. [ 2:56] Kanaria: [Fuming.] Oh, really ~kashira?! [ 3:00] Jun: Anyway, you came over to play, right? Come in. [ 3:04] [Door opening.] [ 3:05] Kanaria: Eh? [ 3:06] Jun: Here. [ 3:07] Kanaria: U-um... Kana... ... [ 3:13] [Music starts.] [ 3:14] [Clinking of plates.] [ 3:15] Suiseiseki: [In the background:] Ahh, this time, too, Suiseiseki's cookies are delicious ~desu! [ 3:19] Hinaichigo: [In the background:] [Squeal.] [ 3:20] Souseiseki: [In the background:] They really are, aren't they! [ 3:21] Shinku: [In the background:] Well, they're not bad. [ 3:24] Suiseiseki: [In the background:] Ah, there, there! There's the good part! Read further along ~desu! [ 3:28] Hinaichigo: [In the background:] [Giggle.] [ 3:31] Kanaria: ... [ 3:33] Suiseiseki: And, you see, that's the part where Kunkun... [ 3:36] Hinaichigo: Where Kunkun... what, what? Then what happened? [ 3:40] [Grab.] [ 3:40] Souseiseki: Waah, don't! Suiseiseki, I'm still in the middle of reading it! [ 3:46] Shinku: Hmph... "Detective Kunkun Investigative File: The Family of Inuyama House". I've read it three times already. [ 3:54] Jun: I thought you'd been staying up late at night recently. It was because of that? [ 3:58] Shinku: Oh? Kanaria, it seems you haven't touched yours yet. You don't have to hold back. [ 4:05] Suiseiseki: That's right! These cookies were made by Suiseiseki, so you ought to have some with gratitude ~desu! [ 4:12] Hinaichigo: Yeah! They're very yummy~! [Munching sounds.] [ 4:17] Suiseiseki: What-?! Puny Ichigo, you're eating too many ~desu! You, for one, ought to hold back at least a little bit ~desu! [ 4:22] Souseiseki: [Laughter.] Oh, I'll put some onto a plate for you. [ 4:27] [Click.] [ 4:27] Souseiseki: Here, Kanaria. [ 4:29] Kanaria: Th-thanks... ~kashira... [ 4:34] Kanaria: [Thinking:] Why? Why are they being this nice to me? Ah-!! C-could it be... that this is a trap ~kashira?! [ 4:44] Shinku: Kanaria? [ 4:45] Kanaria: [Thinking:] Th-that must be it ~kashira! By doing this, they think they'll make me get careless, and then- [ 4:49] Shinku: Kanaria? [ 4:49] Kanaria: [Thinking:] -at the moment that I've dropped my guard, Kana will be... Kana will be...! [ 4:54] Shinku: Kanaria? [ 4:55] Kanaria: Uwaah! E-eh?! Shinku?! [ 4:59] Hinaichigo: What's wrong, Kanaria? For a while you've been spacing out... [ 5:02] Kanaria: Eh?! [Nervous laughter.] Th-there's nothing in particular that's wrong ~kashira! [ 5:07] Suiseiseki: But, you haven't even touched your tea or cookies yet, have you ~desu. [ 5:13] Souseiseki: Kanaria, if you hold back, soon there won't be any left. [ 5:16] Jun: Yeah, that's right. At any rate, if there's one thing these guys are good at, it's pigging out- [ 5:20] [Smack.] [ 5:21] Jun: Ow-!! [ 5:22] Shinku: Jun, the tea has gotten cold. Make us some more. [ 5:27] Jun: Yeah, yeah. Sheesh... [ 5:30] [Footsteps stomping off.] [ 5:31] [Music stops.] [ 5:33] Shinku: Kanaria? [ 5:34] Kanaria: Ehhh-?! W-what?! [ 5:37] Shinku: What are you so frightened about? [ 5:39] Kanaria: W-well... [ 5:42] Shinku: I.. have no intention of fighting. [ 5:46] Kanaria: Eh? [ 5:48] Souseiseki, Suiseiseki, and Hinaichigo: ... [ 5:50] Kanaria: But, Kana is... We Rozen Maidens are... [ 5:56] Hinaichigo: Kanaria... [ 5:58] Kanaria: E-even today, the truth is that Kana came to... [ 6:04] Shinku: ... Yes. [ 6:05] Suiseiseki: We know that ~desu. [ 6:08] Souseiseki: Uh-huh. [ 6:10] Suiseiseki: It's not as if we've forgotten about the Alice Game ~desu. If I had to say so, it's that it's just because fighting, by itself, isn't everything there is... Well, maybe there *is* one idiot among us who really *has* forgotten ~desu. [ 6:28] Hinaichigo: Mmm-! That's not true! Suiseiseki, you've gone too far! [ 6:34] Kanaria: ... [ 6:35] Shinku: I won't try to force it on you. [ 6:39] Kanaria: Eh? [ 6:40] Shinku: But... It's just that, right now, I'd like to enjoy drinking this tea together. [ 6:52] Kanaria: Shinku... TRACK 6 - BARASUISHOU [ 0:01] [Creepy background sounds.] [ 0:05] Enju: [Groaning, tossing and turning in sleep.] [Awakening with a yell, breathing hard.] [ 0:22] [Sheets thrown off.] [ 0:23] Enju: [Breathing hard.] D-damn... Not again. [Hiss.] Rozen...! [ 0:41] Barasuishou: Father... [ 0:42] [Clink.] [ 0:43] [Water being poured.] [ 0:45] Enju: [Grunt.] [Gulping down water.] [ 0:54] Barasuishou: [Thinking:] Father is fighting... to surpass Rozen... to complete a doll that is superior to the Rozen Maidens made by Rozen... [ 1:09] [Footsteps.] [ 1:10] Enju: Barasuishou? [ 1:11] [Magic sound.] [ 1:11] [Music starts.] [ 1:18] Enju: Are you going? [ 1:20] Barasuishou: Yes, Father... [ 1:23] Enju: [Grunt.] [ 1:24] [Hug.] [ 1:24] Barasuishou: ... [ 1:30] Enju: Barasuishou... You are... you are my creation, the greatest of all dolls, who will lose to no one. [ 1:42] [Footsteps.] [ 1:43] Barasuishou: I'll be back... Father... [ 1:46] [Magic sound.] ... [ 1:50] Barasuishou: [Thinking:] What Father seeks... is proof that he has broken Rozen's spell, proof that he has surpassed Rozen... What Father wishes for is... a doll who will surpass Alice, the ultimate girl... That is me... I am a doll created by Father... because I am Father's creation, the greatest of all dolls... Because I am... Father's special one... I must surpass her. That is... what Father seeks... what Father... wishes for... That which Father wishes for... I wish for... [ 3:00] [Music stops.] ... [ 3:09] Kanaria: [Sigh.] [ 3:10] [Music starts.] [ 3:14] Kanaria: [In flashback:] But, Kana... [ 3:17] Shinku: [In flashback:] Say, Kanaria. Is that truly all right with you? Is that your true wish? [ 3:28] Kanaria: [In flashback:] Eh?! B-but, Father... Shinku, is it different with you? [ 3:36] Shinku: [In flashback:] No. It is the same. [ 3:39] Kanaria: [In flashback:] ...? Then-! [ 3:41] Shinku: [In flashback:] And yet it is different. [ 3:43] Kanaria: [In flashback:] I-I don't understand what you're saying ~kashira! [ 3:48] Shinku: [In flashback:] What I am trying to say, is that each has her own way of doing things. To take things from one another by force... that ought not be all that there is to it. [ 3:59] Kanaria: [In flashback:] ...! [ 4:02] Shinku: [In flashback:] That is why I will prefer to play the Alice Game in my own way. [ 4:10] Kanaria: [In flashback:] Shinku... [ 4:12] [Music stops.] [ 4:15] Kanaria: Micchan, what... what should Kana do ~kashira? [ 4:21] [Magic sound.] [ 4:23] Kanaria: ...? H-huh? It seemed like the mirror shone just now... No, it must have been my imagination ~kashira...? ... [ 4:36] [Wings beating.] [ 4:38] Suigintou: At that time, when first I fought after having made a contract with Megu, I'm certain that I felt a power such as I'd never felt before then. [ 4:48] [Music starts.] [ 4:49] [In flashback:] [Fighting sounds.] [ 4:53] Suigintou: [In flashback:] [Grunt.] [ 4:55] Barasuishou: [In flashback:] [Breathing hard.] Strong...! [ 5:00] Suigintou: [In flashback:] [Grunt.] Th-this power...? [ 5:06] [Wings beating.] [ 5:07] Suigintou: Was that what they call the power of a Medium? Was that the "bond" of which Shinku spoke?! [Grunt.] You've got to be kidding me! Such a thing as that... Such a thing as that...! [ 5:21] Megu: [In flashback:] Suigintou. [ 5:23] Suigintou: [Sobbing.] Why?! I, I don't need anything other than Father! I don't need...! [ 5:35] Barasuishou: That is your wish...? [ 5:38] Suigintou: Who's there-?! ... ...? [ 5:44] [Shooting sounds.] [ 5:47] Shinku: [Grunt.] Barasuishou? [ 5:51] [Step.] [ 5:52] [Footsteps approaching.] [ 5:55] Barasuishou: Come, let us begin... the Alice Game... [ 6:00] Shinku: Barasuishou, I... I don't intend to fight you. [ 6:07] Barasuishou: ...?! ... What are you... saying...? [ 6:16] Shinku: I will prefer to play the Alice Game in my own way. [ 6:23] Barasuishou: The Alice Game is a battle... I will become stronger... For me to win the Alice Game... is Father's wish... and... what Father wishes for... I wish for... [ 6:47] Shinku: Barasuishou... [ 6:50] Barasuishou: That is why I will fight... To fight... to defeat you all, is my wish... [ 7:12] [Music stops.] TRACK 7 - SONG: "SHUNSAN" ("SPRING SILKWORM") [DRAMA VERSION] (by ALI PROJECT) Sasagu nie wa, tada hitotsu no koi The consecrated offering, my one and only love; Waga kokoro, chi ni somu, murasaki no My heart, with blood stained purple. Saa garasu ni tojikomenasai Come, confine me in glass. Kizu wo kazari Decorate me with scars. Kumotte iku sekai de In this world, clouding over, Mogaite ageru I shall writhe for you. Hitoharu wo ikinuite Surviving through one spring; Hitonatsu wo taedae ni Feebly, through one summer; Akazu mata mezameochi Coming awake again, untiring. Suigyoku no oetsu kara From bejeweled weeping Otonau yubi wa subete The probing finger, accepting Anata to shite ukeire You entirely as you are. Ukiagaru nodomoto ni Rising, in my throat. Shokuzai no aza no kiretsu hagu I strip off the cracks on my bruises of redemption.
