Disclamer : Still not own Tennis No Ohjisama.
Words in /….: someone's thoughts
Words in Italic : flashback
I want to thank you everyone who had review to this story. You're really made me feel love. Hontou hontou ni arigatou! Thanks to syuusuke-kunimitsu117229 to correct me about Yuuta's birthday. I had re-edit chapter 2.
For susaku, ltifal, and TearLess-Dream, sorry. I think I would just stick to friendship. I think it would suit this story better. I don't have anything against yaoi. In fact I love TezuFuji (there're a lot of angst fics about them), FujiRyo (I have read a lot of fun and sad ones of this pairings, like the ones that Ishka-chan wrote), and any other pairings as long as Fuji was one of them. I would let the possibilities open at the end (depend how you would think about it) so you could pair Fuji with the one your chose in your mind or even to let them be friend forever.
And many thanks to Ishka-chan to beta this fic. You're truly an angel.
A Half-Second Dream
Chapter 3 : At The Tennis Street Court
Fuji acted casually. Nobody said anything but he knew that the problem was there. It was like a silent agreement for them not to bring it up. So he chose to play along.
Later, Inui secretly told Tezuka that the first stage of Fuji's symptoms of depression seemed to have vanished. It seemed that Fuji already had a better hold on himself.
If it depended on him, Oishi would choose to let it stay that way. It really unnerved him to think that they would interfere with Fuji's personal life. After all, this little detective game might offend the Tensai, and perhaps would disturb the whole team as well.
It might even break them.
Of course, Oishi knew too that it would just be a matter of time before he'd give in to Eiji's persistence. He knew all along that if Eiji had made up his mind about something, he would never back down. Besides, Eiji got Inui's full support this time around.
Eiji told him eagerly that Fuji's younger brother would be at the tennis street courts at nine in the morning at Saturday, so the acrobatic player also told the others to gather there thirty minutes earlier.
When Momo asked which of the street tennis courts he was talking about, Eiji winked.
"Oh, you know, that one where you had a date with Ann-chan."
Momo gaped. "E... Eiji-senpai! How many times have I told you, that wasn't a date! That wasn't a date at all!"
Eiji snickered.
Amidst the joking around, Oishi mused that how Inui gathered all that information was beyond his imagination. He looked helplessly at Tezuka to ask his opinion about this. Tezuka just stayed quiet. He didn't say anything against it nor did he approve it. Finally Oishi just sighed. Oh well, at least he could try to not make it more worse if he comes with them.
---
Surprisingly, it was Oishi who came first to their rendezvous. He sat at the end of the stairs that lead to the tennis court. He thought back to all the information he heard the past days. It shocked him to realize that Fuji was really their good friend but they weren't for the latter.
Oh, he would never doubt Fuji's feelings for them. He knew without a doubt that the tensai would seek revenge if someone even so much as tried to hurt his family and friends. He still remembered Fuji's expression after Kawamura's match with Kabaji, after Tezuka's match with Atobe that shook the world… and more importantly… the look in his eyes before his match with Kirihara Akaya. If the looks could kill… Oishi had never seen Fuji look that angry except that one time when Mizuki put Yuuta's arm at risk.
It was only later that Oishi found out that it was because Kirihara had apparently badly injured Echizen's knee right before the finals.
Oishi sighed. So it wasn't only Fuji who was good at hiding his pains. So was Echizen. Right after the young genius' match against Sanada, Oishi almost fainted when he found he saw a rather big gash on Echizen's knee. The little one was fighting against Sanada with that kind of injury… But Fuji knew all along. And he didn't stop Echizen from the match. Just like Tezuka during Echizen's match against Shinji, Fuji believed in him too.
Yes, Fuji was truly their friend. He always listened to them, always knew when someone had a problem even when that someone didn't say anything. He remembered all their birthdays and any other day that were precious to them. He also remembered their favorite things and always remembered to bring it for them when he found those things.
Yet Fuji never said anything about himself. He would joke around with them about common things. He never said anything about his family either. But they knew how much he loves his family and how possessive he was about them. Especially when it came to his little brother.
The memory was still fresh in Oishi's mind. How Fuji humiliated Mizuki after he found out what the boy had done to his little brother. Also how he defeated Akutagawa in less than fifteen minutes. Though Fuji had treated Akutagawa more kindly than how he treated Mizuki.
/Maybe I was just too sensitive. Fuji really cares about us. I knew it. He is just the same as Tezuka and Echizen, who couldn't express their feelings so freely. He just handles it in a different way, and covers it too well with a friendly façade. So, naturally, I expected so much from him. Even thought I had a feeling that it was not the real him./ Oishi sighed, disappointed. /The truth is Fuji never changed. It was just that he wasn't what I had pictured in my mind. But somehow, I also feel betrayed because it makes me feel like he doesn't trust us at all./
This new discovery somewhat brightened Oishi's clouded mood. He was detemined to know the real Fuji. Maybe this time they could start over and became real friends. He looked up in relief, only to be startled by Eiji's that had somehow appeared right in front of him out of nowhere.
If he wasn't too deep in thought, if it was someone else in his place, he would find the situation was kinda funny. Eiji was kneeling in front of him, hands supporting his head. And he frowned cutely. He would've noticed how adorable Eiji was if he didn't feel like he would pass out from heart attack at any moment.
"Eiji!" Oishi instinctively took a step back, only to lose his balance. He expected to fall unceremoniously but Eiji pulled him back to his feet just in time.
"Moo, that was close, Oishi!" Eiji scolded him humourously. "You acted as if I have an ugly and scary face!" He crossed his arms defiantly.
Oishi internally debated if he should thank his partner for saving him or scold him for startling him, but settled on looking down, face very red, when he heard his team laughter behind. Momoshiro who laughing so hard that the latter was already bent over, hands on his stomach. Beside him, Echizen's playful smirk could be seen under his cap. Kaidoh and Kawamura were on the other side, trying to control their laughter to let him have what was left of his dignity.
But that dignity that soon fell apart like a fragile glass when he saw Inui furiously writing something his evil sidekick of a notebook.
"Wow Momo…." Eiji gasped theatrically. "You actually managed to successfully drag Ochibi here without resorting to kidnapping!"
Ryoma pouted.
Eiji started dancing about. "Yay yay yay! Our cute Ochibi is here!" Eiji beamed happily. "Nanjyaro hoi hoi!"
Ryoma didn't bother to counter his senpai whenever said senpai was that hyperactive. He knew only too well how dangerous it was to even attempt that.
But deep inside, the truth was that he couldn't stop thinking about Fuji-senpai after all the talk he heard lately. Of course he wasn't worried! Why should he be…? It was just, for some weird reason beyond his comprehension, he couldn't sleep last night. So, he gave up and decided to just wait for morning to come so he could go to the street tennis court. He was already on his way to leave when Momo-senpai came to pick him up.
"So everyone is here." Oishi smiled, relieved. He checked his watch and found it was already 8.55 AM.
"Everyone except Tezuka." Inui said calmly.
"Maybe he's not coming...?" Kawamura said with a nervous smile. He still remembered the incident about "Momoshiro's date" before.
Oishi debated with himself if they should wait a little longer for Tezuka or not when he suddenly heard a very familiar deep voice.
"Ohayou, minna."
"Buchou!"
"Tezuka!"
Everyone looked bewilder to when Tezuka appeared, but a warning glare from the Buchou silenced whatever anyone had to say about his unexpected appearance. Inui smiled secretly, pretending to adjust his glasses so no one could see him smile.
So their stoic buchou was human after all. He couldn't beat his own curiosity. It just that Tezuka had his own standard about what deserved his attention and what didn't. Momoshiro's date obviously wasn't something that could get Tezuka's interest. Of course, if it was Echizen's… that would be an entirely different story. That aside, their tensai's mysterious things were another story.
"II data…" Inui muttered cryptically.
---
Fuji Yuuta groaned. Mizuki Hajime was ranting nonstop for almost ten minutes already and it seemed that he was still far from stopping.
"So I couldn't see why you would tire yourself by quickly going home just for dinner and wake up so early to go to school again non stop for two days. Also to spend weekend there! You know that you would get annoyed by your brother and would regret coming home. You're just missing a valuable time for practice and then have a nice birthday party here with your precious senpais. You really hurt my feelings, Yuuta-kun."
"Oh shut up, Mizuki!" Kisarazu Atsushi snapped annoyed. "He wants to celebrate his birthday with his family. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Stop provoking him all the time."
Yuuta looked gratefully to his usually quiet senpai. He really didn't know how to tell Mizuki. He never hated his aniki. Sure he was too protective to the point that it gets annoying sometimes, but… he could never imagine a life without his older siblings. The match between Mizuki and his aniki made him respect his aniki even more.
Yuuta loved his aniki. He had always been so proud of him. And he wanted his aniki to be proud of him too. He tried so hard to be the best so his aniki would feel the same as how he felt for him. But it was so hard. Shuusuke was just… too perfect.
He had a beautiful face, he talked with a smooth- almost melodious- gentle voice, and always did everything gracefully. He was always shining… and because of that, some people would envy him. Then suddenly Yuuta realized that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be like his aniki. And that realization had hurt him so much.
So he started to push his aniki away. He didn't want to see Shuusuke's disappointed face when he realized that his otouto was a failure. He was determined to push his aniki away until he could face Shuusuke with confidence.
And that would only come when he can stand on equal footing with him.
But that day seems so far away. His frustration made his temper grow worse. Yuuta couldn't remember a time when he could have a civil conversation with Shuusuke. He always suspected anything that Shuusuke did or said that he would respond to them heatedly. Yet Shuusuke took it all patiently. Shuusuke still cared for him. He protected him no matter what. Of course, Yuuta knew that Shuusuke played so amazingly against Akutagawa not only because seeing Kawamura fight moved the Tensai. It was for him too.
He had long realized how much he had been hurting his aniki. He just couldn't know how he could say sorry. And Shuusuke would never let him say sorry. He would never let him take the blame. He always acted like nothing was wrong between them. Yet Yuuta could feel that the wall between- the wall that he built- had started cracking.
He still had a passion to pass Shuusuke. He wanted to make Shuusuke proud as he was of him. So it made him uncomfotable hearing Mizuki talk to him like his aniki was the enemy.
"That's not really nice, Kisarazu. I don't understand why you say that. St. Rudolph is a second family for all of us." Mizuki's voice snapped Yuuta out of his thoughts.
"Exactly! A second family. I myself would choose to go home and celebrate my birthday with my family then celebrate it later with my second family!" Kisarazu grumbled..
Look, Mizuki-senpai. I'm really grateful that you've planned to give me a birthday party. But Kisarazu-senpai is right. I really need to go home. It's a tradition in my family to celebrate someone's birthday together. Even my parents would come home from aboard for the occasion. So that's why I would sleep at home from Wednesday when my parents arrive. No offense, okay?"
What Mizuki wanted to say was cut by a shout from a certain red head.
"A tradition?"
They turned to see all the Seigaku regulars behind them. Well everyone except for Fuji.
"Well, well… If it isn't the infamous Seigaku regulars. For what do we owe this honor?" Mizuki rolled his eyes.
"It is a tradition in your family to celebrate birthdays?" Eiji ignored Mizuki and asked Yuuta determinedly.
"Uh, yeah. What's so strange about it?" Yuuta asked bewildered.
"Even Fuji's birthday?" Eiji kept pushing it.
"Of course!" Yuuta exclaimed. "My family loves celebrations. Even our parents never once forgot to come home for the celebration. We celebrate their wedding anniversary, their birthdays, Neesan's birthday, my birthday, Ani…"
Yuuta suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at him expectedly.
"Well?" Eiji couldn't wait anymore.
"Uhm, I… It's just…" Yuuta stammered.
"Okay, let's change the question. Fuji-kun, when is your brother's birthday?"
Yuuta bit his lip when he heard Inui's question.
"Uhm, about the first days of March?"
Everyone looked doubtfully while Eiji narrowed his eyes.
"You don't know when your brother's birthday is? Nyaa, how could you!"
"I… We never celebrated his birthday, okay?" Yuuta yelled frustrated.
"Why?"
"I don't know. I don't remember anyone ever mention Aniki's birthday before. The last time we celebrated his birthday was…"
"Eight years ago, I know. The question is, why? Fuji said it was not a tradition in your family to celebrate birthday while you said the opposite. Only the part about not celebrating his birthday was right!" Eiji said heatedly. He felt it was not fair for Fuji to be left out like that.
"Kikumaru!" Inui said warningly. "Now, Fuji-kun, if you don't remember your brother's birthday, how could you be sure it is at the first days of March?"
The regulars suddenly remembered about the patterns that Inui informed them before. So they looked expectant of what Yuuta would say.
"Uh, I knew it was at March. In fact it was at the first days of March, if I'm not mistaken. I remembered eight years ago, after we celebrated my birthday, Aniki waited eagerly for March to come. Cause there's an old animation movie that would be relay at the TV. Aniki was talking so enthusiastically about that series. About brotherhood, heroism, and all."
"What was the title of the anime?" Inui asked suddenly.
"I think it was Voltes V something."
"I thought so." Inui nodded. "The series aired at March 8th. It still suits the pattern if Fuji's birthday is at the first days of March."
The rest of the Seigaku regulars nodded.
Momoshiro looked curiously at Inui.
"Inui-senpai, how did you remember when was that anime was on air?"
"Because the series was played to replace an educational program, 'Let's Ask Prof. Einstein'. I still couldn't understand how they could replace a good show like that with a mecha series."
"Huh? What kind of program was 'Let's Ask Prof. Einstein'?" Momo paused. "Uh, never mind. I don't really want to know."
"Excuse me. But what pattern did you talk about?" Yuuta asked frustrated.
Inui started to explain from the time when Kikumaru asked Fuji about his birthday and about the 'half-second dream' up to the patterns that he discovered.
"I don't know what a half-second dream is." Yuuta frowned thoughtfully. "Anyway, eight years ago we didn't really celebrate his birthday."
Everyone looked questioningly to the younger Fuji.
"I remembered that Aniki didn't have dinner that day. He already promised his friends to do something. Otousan asked Okaasan about it at dinner. Okaasan said to let him be. After all, he was the birthday boy."
"That's not really nice ne? To escape the dinner that your mother already prepared it thoughtfully." Eiji frowned. He couldn't believe that Fuji would have the heart to disappoint his family.
"So that's why your parents never celebrated Fuji's birthday anymore?" Oishi asked carefully.
"No, of course not. Aniki had to stay with Obaasan in Chiba for more than three years because of his health."
"Fuji was sick? Was it serious?" Eiji frowned worriedly.
"Well, Aniki was born premature. When he was little, he was easily got sick. After his staying at Chiba, his health is got better. He never got sick easily anymore."
"Chiba? So that's when Fuji befriends with Saeki." Inui said.
"Aniki rarely came home. Only to celebrate our big days. But he never came to celebrate his own birthday. Neesan would pack his birthday presents and bring them to Chiba. It seemed that he really enjoyed his stays at Obaasan's place."
"But you said he only stayed there for three years."
"That's right, Inui-san. He went home after he got into an accident. He stayed at home for a couple months then went to US for scholarship. That's why his registration at Seigaku was late."
"Fuji-san, what scholarship did Fuji-senpai get?" Ryoma frowned.
"I don't know. Why? What's so big about it? I don't think it's strange for Aniki to get a scholarship. He is the tensai after all."
"I know that. But usually scholarships are for high school and university students. I've never heard of a scholarship for an elementary student." Ryoma frowned, looking very puzzled.
Momo mused that he had never seen Echizen let himself look so… troubled in front of anyone before. Well, perhaps anyone but Tezuka, but still…
The silence that surrounded them was deathly.
"Ore-sama must say that Ore-sama agrees. What scholarship could a ten-year-old possibly get?"
Everyone startled when the voice of Hyoutei's captain suddenly broke the silence. They turned and saw a lot of familiar faces behind them, namely Atobe Keigo and the rest of the Hyoutei regulars. Yukimura Seiichi from Rikkaidai was also there, accompanied by Sanada Genichirou and Kirihara Akaya.
"How…?"
"We're really sorry, Oishi-san." Ohtori bowed nervously. "We didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just…"
"Of course we weren't eavesdropping." Mukahi grumbled. "This is a free place for anyone, isn't it? We came to the other courts first. Why didn't they check the whole area before talking about something private? And what's so special about Fuji's birthday? I mean I would think it's nice if my friends want to celebrate my birthday…"
"Gakuto," Oshitari called warningly.
"Well?" Atobe raised his eye brow.
"I don't know, okay? I never asked what scholarship Aniki got. I never thought about it before."
"Ano, is Fuji-kun alright?"
Everyone turned and saw Kisarazu Ryou as the only one from Rokkaku that was there. He was hidden before by Sanada and Kabaji's giant bodies.
"Ryou! You're late." A rare smile could be seen in Atsushi's face.
"Sorry, Atsu. I missed the train." Ryou smiled apologetically.
"Ano, Kisarazu-kun, why do you ask?" Oishi asked worriedly.
"Well, three days ago he called Saeki after practice."
The Seigaku regulars looked at each other, except for Ryoma who still looked lost in thought. They remembered that was when Eiji asked them about Fuji's birthday.
"Saeki sounded so strange. It seems like something happened to Fuji-kun. He cancelled his plan with us and just fled. Aoi decided to follow him because he was worried. Naturally, we all went together. Saeki went to the direction of the beach. He went to a secluded area there. We never knew there was a place like that before. And Fuji-kun was there, just watching the sea."
"We were lucky that the area was so secluded or else they would notice us. It seems that Fuji-kun went there to watch the sea horses."
"Sea horses?" Yuuta asked confused.
"It seems that was a story about the sea horses. The waves were like horses' heads that try to break free from the ocean to reach the sky. So they were called sea horses. And the sea horses were the souls of people that already died with unfinished dreams. They tried to break free from the ocean so they could be born again to fulfill that dream. They tried thousands of times to reach the rock only to fall down again and disappear with the waves' foam."
There was a long silence after that.
"Uhm, well… That sounds… Uhm…" Tachibana couldn't finish his words.
"Depressing?" Ryou offered helpfully. "I thought so. Beside, there's something about Fuji-kun back then that made him look so fragile."
"Baka!" Kirihara shouted heatedly. "Only an idiot would fall for Fuji's deceptively weak appearance!"
"I know that! But he looked that way when we saw him at that place!"
Ryoma blinked curiously at Sanada.
Sanada coughed lightly and whispered so only Ryoma could hear. "Sorry. But that match really taught Kirihara a lesson. From then on, Fuji had gained his respect."
Ryoma tugged his cap. For a moment, Sanada thought that he saw at the corner of the boy's lips quirk… as if he was smiling. But it was gone so fast, so he shrugged it off. His imagination must've playing tricks on him.
"Then, what happened?" Atobe asked, irritated, while he glared at Kirihara for cutting off what Kisarazu was saying.
"Saeki asked Fuji-kun to drink. Something about drinking the moon. That the moon's power will support him. The wind was so loud, we couldn't hear clearly. And then we had to go 'cause Fuji-kun already stood up and started walking away."
"Ore-sama couldn't think why it becomes a problem anyway. You should just ask your parents or sister about Fuji's birthday."
Yuuta would have said something harsh because of the way Atobe was bossing him, but stopped it because of Eiji's excitement.
"Nyaa, that's right! Yumiko-san must know about Fuji's birthday!" Eiji looked at Yuuta pleadingly.
"Uh, okay. I'll ask her."
/Let's just get this over with./ Yuuta sighed while he pushed the speed dial in his mobile to contact his Neesan.
"Uhm, Neesan, it's me. No, it's nothing. I just want to ask about Aniki's birthday. When is… What? But, Neesan… I … No, of course not. I just… Okay, I won't. Yes. Bye, Neesan."
Everyone looked curiously. The conversation went strange for them.
"Well?" Eiji asked.
"She wouldn't tell me." Yuuta said, confused. "She didn't let me explain. She said that I should never ask Aniki about it. Or even mention it. She didn't really say why, but what I do know is I'll be a dead meat if I ignore her words."
There was an awkward silence.
Inui frowned. Their mission seems to have failed this time.
"Well, at least we knew that Fuji's birthday is the first days of March. We still have time to prepare a birthday present for Fuji. And, Yuuta, you must find out about Fuji's birthday before this month ends, you got that?"
"What? Me?" Yuuta looked at Eiji bewildedly. "Didn't you hear what I said? Neesan would kill me if she finds out I'm still asking about Aniki's birthday!"
"Then you just follow Ore-sama's wonderful plan."
Yuuta groaned.
"Ask your parents to let you hold a birthday party. You don't have to tell Fuji about the people that you invited. When he finds out that his teammates were invited, he wouldn't have an excuse to not tell us about his birthday anymore. Your sister wouldn't kill Fuji's team mates, after all they could play innocent."
"My birthday is at February 18th. It's Saturday. So the party would be hold at Sunday. A party just before a school day? I don't think my parents would agree."
"So hold your party on a Saturday. Just have your family gathering earlier." Atobe raised his eyebrow.
"I don't know. It would be too much trouble to hold a party. It's been so long since I've had one." Yuuta said doubtfully.
"The food is on Oreesama. You just have to ask permission from your parents."
"Hey, we are more than able to afford a party." Yuuta retorted indignantly.
"Ore-sama never said your family couldn't afford it. Ore-sama is just being generous. Since your party would be graced by Ore-sama's presence, the food should be edible. Just consider it as Ore-sama's birthday present for you.
"Atobe, I didn't know that you were so eager to know about Fuji's birthday." Tezuka said coolly.
"So you all want to celebrate Fuji's birthday too?" Eiji looked at them with wide eyes.
"Why not?" Yukimura smiled. "He's a wonderful player. It would be great if we could give hold an unforgettable birthday for him."
"Yeah! Besides, it's free food man!" The Kisarazu's twins said together.
"After all Fuji-kun gave us these mobiles on our birthday. They're really helpful considering Atsu moved to St. Rudolph."
"Huh, but I thought Fuji first met you together with us back then when we went to Chiba." Oishi looked confused.
"We did."
"Then how come he gave birthday presents to someone he didn't know?"
"Well, it was really hard for us when Atsu decided to go to St. Rudolph. We've always been together. Since our birthdays were coming, Saeki decided to give us mobiles so we could contact each other everytime. He found these mobiles on sale but his money was not enough. So Fuji-kun offered to pay for the amount left and told us that the presents were from both of them."
Ryou laughed when he saw the still unbelieving faces of the others.
"It's just the way Saeki is. He is spontaneous and ignorant. He doesn't care about formality and just does what he wants. But Fuji was always so supportive of him. So I think I know why they are close friends."
"Ore-sama doesn't really care about all that. Ore-sama is just curious and wants to know what's so special about it. "
"Uhm, Fuji-kun, could you tell us what Fuji-san's favorites are? So we know what should we get as his birthday presents." Ohtori asked.
Eiji sighed when he saw the blank expression in Yuuta's face.
"Okay, I list them from the cheap ones to the expensive ones. Cactis, wasabi sushi, music, books, camera, and laptop. He loves classic and new age music. One of his favourite singers has a name like a dictionary. His songs are really famous. One of them is some Phantom of something." Eiji took a deep breath.
"You mean Andrew Lloyd Webber which one of his masterpiece is Phantom of The Opera." Atobe stated bemusedly. "But he isn't a singer, Kikumaru. He is a great composer."
"Whatever." Eiji glared. "And the other singer is a woman which song was became a sountrack of Lord Of The Ring. The song really made me think about the era of gods and goddess, you know."
That's one was a little difficult and made everyone thought really hard.
"Could it be Enya? I remembered Saeki bought the soundtrack cd because he said that her song was there so he bought if for a friend."
"Ah, you're right. I remembered there're a lot of her cd in Aniki's room."
"And then there's Sarah something's cd that he collects too. With some songs that like operas that made me felt asleep when I heard them. But some of her songs were nice."
"Sarah Brightman." Tezuka said.
"About the book, you could try to give him completes dictionaries of any languages to the difficult books. I read the titles were difficult words like psychology, quantum something and much more. And Spanish and Russian dictionaries. He said that he wanted to collect dictionaries of all languages in the world. And since he loves photography, anything relates to photography would be right for him. A camera.perhaps. I saw him looked at camera catalogue before. And laptop catalogue too."
"Wow, Eiji-senpai, you're really Fuji-senpai's best friend." Momoshiro exclaim with respect.
"Yeah, and I'm a bad otouto." Yuuta said sourly.
"Nobody said that, Yuuta-kun." Mizuki said soothingly, patting his shoulder.
/But it was the truth./ Well, at least he determined to make it up by giving his aniki the best birthday he ever had. Now he was more eagerly to do Atobe's plan.
---
Tsuzuku…
Sorry, can't help it. I love classic music, Enya, Sarah Brightman, and Andrew Llord Webber's songs. Though I don't really like all the opera songs, I think Andrea Bocelli, Sarah, and Josh Groban are really good.
About Yuuta didn't remember his aniki birthday, I don't know about you. But my family rarely celebrate it anymore. Just a congratulation and dinner together. My brothers need their mobile to make a reminder about our family's birthday. Of course I don't know need it. A different between man and woman?
Otouto : little brother
Aniki : big brother
Neesan : big sister
Ohayou : good morning
Otousan : father
Okaasan : mother
Obaasan : grandmother
