Fushigi Yuu Yuu
Hakusho
Ending Theme: Daydream
Generation
[During the
instrumental beginning, we slowly pan in on a scroll
on which are depicted
Keiko at the bottom, Tamahome at the left (her right)
and behind her,
Yuusuke in a similar position on the right, and Suzaku
in phoenix form
behind and above them all. Then rapidly cut from one face
to another (in
the order given above); each face, in the close-up, is the
cel-art version
of the scroll's
drawing]
*Mabuta
no ura
ni*
[Keiko,
in the blouse and jeans she was wearing when she first
entered the
Universe of the Four Gods, walks from the left side of the
screen to about
the center, There seems to be some sort of infinite mirror
thing going on,
because to her left (behind her, from the watcher's point
of view) an
infinite number of Keikos are paralleling her
movements]
*akogare
dake*
[As
she comes to the middle of the screen, all the other Keikos
vanish. She
stops and inclines her head
slowly]
*Ukabete
nemuru*
[Her
clothes slowly blur from the Ningenkai outfit to the formal
robes of
Suzaku no Miko, as she turns towards the
camera]
*kisetsu
ni
Good-bye*
[Keiko
fades out as a bust shot (HEAD style bust, you know!) of
her fades in in
the lower right-hand corner of the screen, still in formal
outfitting with
her hair done up thus. She's looking down slightly
and
smiling]
*Tooku
kirameku yasashisa
yori*
[Cut
to Tamahome, sitting in Keiko's room at the palace, looking
through the
wallet Keiko has handed her. She pulls a small photograph out,
gazing at
it
curiously]
*Tada
hitotsu wagamama ga
hoshii*
[The
camera angle swings around to narrow in on the photograph,
which we see to
be of a short-haired Keiko sitting on a low rock near a
riverbank and
Yuusuke, hair down, standing next to her (as seen in the
YYH "Sayonara Bye
Bye" ED when the title phrase is sung for the
second
time)]
*Tsumetai
GARASU no machi o
kugurinukete*
[Again
cut to a city made of tall glass towers, dim now under clouds.
From its
gates, a troop of dispirited figures emerge who prove to be the
Urameshi
Team]
*Sono
te ni
furetai*
[Rapidly
zoom in on the four guys. The background around them changes
to Genkai's
temple as they walk into the main room. Botan looks up at them
hopefully;
they shake their heads in
negation]
*kimochi
tashikametai*
[Botan
droops as Shizuru keeps reading The Book and Yuusuke moves
to look over
her
shoulder]
*Me
o akete miru yume dake
Tsuyoku dakishimete iru
yo*
[Pan
slowly in on Keiko, slumped over a table by the window of
her apartments.
The window is wide open, showing the gardens and pond
outside]
*Kaze
ga fuite ame ga
futte*
[And
then the scene outside suddenly changes to the grounds of
Genkai's temple.
Keiko's head jerks up in surprise as Botan, Yuusuke, Yukina,
and Kuwabara
run
past.]
*Kokoro
wa yurete
mo*
[Keiko
stares and then vaults out the window. The camera pans in
further, losing
the Kounanite frame, as she is pulled into a group
hug]
*Me
o akete miru yume
nara*
[As
the camera begins to pan back, the hugging group staying at
the bottom of
the screen, Hiei, Kurama, and Shizuru run on, apparently
drawn by the
happy noises. Botan exchanges a meaningful glance with
the latter
two
--]
*Ima
wa kizutsuite mo
ii*
[--
who firmly grab one of Hiei's arms each and add themselves
to the hug.
(Hiei looks
startled.)]
*Kono
sora ga katte-na
hodo*
[The
camera angle swings around , still keeping the hug as the
focus of the
lower part of the screen, to show the temple behind them.
Atsuko and
Koenma are seated (sprawled, in Atsuko's case) on the engawa,
watching
them]
*Sunao
ni nareru yo!
Me o akete miru yume
nara*
[Atsuko
knocks back a slug of sake, light gleaming off her artificial
right hand,
and, as the music very obviously cuts to more refrain, offers
the bottle
to Koenma, who waves it
away]
*Ima
wa kizutsuite mo
ii*
[The
group hug, which is now rocking back and forth, as those things
tend to
do, suddenly loses coherence, everyone falling on their
behinds]
*Kono
sora ga katte-na hodo
Sunao ni nareru
yo!*
[Everyone
looks at each other, and then starts laughing. They are
still laughing as
the music slowly fades out]
[Fade, with the music, to
black]
