OP         Heroically, with bravery
OP         I'll go on with my life,
OP         just a long, long time.
OP         But if the two of us should get split up
OP         by whatever means,
OP         let go of me,
OP         Take my revolution.
Title      Utena ~ La Fillette Revolutionnaire
OP         In the sunny garden, we held each other's hands,
OP         drew close together and soothed each other with the
	   words,
OP         "Neither of us will ever fall in love again."
OP         Everytime
OP         Into this photograph of us
OP         smiling cheek to cheek,
OP         I took a bit of loneliness,
OP         and crammed it inside.
OP         Revolution!
OP         Even in my dreams, even through my tears,
OP         even though I'm being hurt,
OP         reality is approaching now, frantically.
OP         What I want now is to find out
OP         just where I belong,
OP         and my self-worth, up through today.
OP         Heroically, I'll throw away
OP         my clothes 'til I'm nude,
OP         like the roses dancing all around me, whirling
	   free.
OP         But if the two of us should get split up
OP         by whatever means,
OP         I swear to you, I will change the world.


Boy What's wrong? Kozue It's nothing. So, speaking of Toshiko... Kozue In the end, it looks like she went to Atsushi's place again, yesterday. Kozue So she shouldn't have been so stubborn about it in the first place, right? Kozue And then... Teacher Micky... Teacher Are you going to your piano lesson? Miki Yes. Teacher I have high expectations for you. Work hard. Miki Yes sir. And are you feeling better now? Teacher I've caused you problems, haven't I? Miki Not at all. Teacher Actually, speaking of problems, I need to have a talk with you, Micky. Boy What's wrong? Boy Hey... title Landscape Framed by Kozue Nanami Onii-sama, have you stayed home from school again today? Nanami At the very least, you could have dinner on time.. Nanami Onii-sama... Nanami It's all right, Onii-sama. Nanami I'll look after the Student Council. Mamiya The Student Council... Mamiya The Student Council members... Mamiya With their spirits, we might forge a sword powerful enough to defeat Tenjou Utena. Mamiya That's what my Black Rose tells me. Souji However, they have all been defeated in Duels. Souji They are weak-hearted people. Mamiya There aren't many people who can fully control their hearts. Mamiya I'm sure it's particularly difficult for people of such young age. Mamiya It would be far better to let their spirit swords be received by someone else. Mamiya That way, a stronger Duelist can be born. Souji I understand. Souji For the sake of making you the Rose Bride, I'll consider it. Souji However, drawing their spirit swords requires a hand that can capture their hearts. Girl Kozue! Girl Hey, Kozue... You've changed boyfriends again? Kozue I haven't changed boyfriends... I've added one. Girl Oh, the things you say! You lucky girl! Kozue Work at it yourself, you guys. Girl Then would you introduce us to your brother? Kozue Okay, but... Kozue ...it seems there's a girl he likes these days. Miki Calm down, Miki.... Miki Himemiya-san, will you play the piano with me tomorrow? Miki Here goes... Utena Hey Micky! Miki I was just passing by. I wasn't being suspicious... um... Miki ...what am I saying?! Utena Himemiya! Micky's here! Miki It's not like I'm here to visit Himemiya-san in particular! Miki I just happened to be passing by... Himemiya Hello. Miki Umm... Himemiya Yes...? Miki Umm... Miki ...Chuuchuu is really cute, isn't he? Utena It's not Chuuchuu. It's Chuchu. Utena If it was Chuuchuu, it would sound too mouse-like. Himemiya But I kind of like Chuuchuu as well. Miki Himemiya-san, you like Chuuchuu too? Himemiya I like it. Miki I like it, too! Miki I guess we have something in common! Miki Sorry, I'm saying some strange things, aren't I? Miki Umm... Himemiya Yes? Utena Come on! Just a little more. Miki Himemiya-san, if it's alright with you, Miki would you play the piano with me tomorrow after school? Miki I would like to introduce you to my piano teacher. Miki I'm certain that if he listened to you play, he'd be quite impressed. Miki So... Miki ...please? Kozue You wanted to talk to me? Juri That incident last week with that teacher falling down the stairs was not an accident. Juri Rumor has it that he was pushed. Juri According to him, he wasn't certain whether or not it was an accident. Juri However, just last night, he got a phone call saying that next time, it wouldn't be just a slight accident. Kozue How brilliant, Arisugawa-sempai. You seem to know everything. Juri There are things I don't know. Juri For example: why you hate this guy so. Kozue Because he's always... Juri Always... Kozue I will never forgive anyone who disgraces Miki. Miki I made some milkshakes. Want one? Kozue Why would I drink something so sweet? Utena So, you're Kozue-chan. Utena I've heard about you from Miki. Utena You really are twins. Utena If you dressed up as a guy, I could never tell you apart from Miki. Kozue I am nothing at all like Miki. Kozue That girl with the glasses... Kozue ...what was her name again? Utena You mean Himemiya Anthy? Utena What about her?
Nanami If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. Nanami The chamber of freedom and the cage of freedom... Nanami ...without showing the vastness of the skies, they cherish the chick. Nanami Break the world's cage! Nanami&Jur For the sake of revolutionizing the world! Namani What is it? Any complaints? Juri None here. Miki None here. Nanami From now on, I will act as my brother's proxy. NoName I do have the qualifications. Any complaints? Juri None here. Miki None here. Juri Except... Nanami Except...? Juri We don't seem to get letters from the Ends of the World lately. Akio Oh? There's a boy who likes Anthy? Utena So you are concerned? Akio Well, she is my sister. Akio However, if she is enjoying her school life, then I'm relieved. Akio I'm glad that my sister has good friends like you. Utena Akio-san, you really think about your sister a lot, don't you? Akio Do I? Utena I probably wouldn't understand since I don't have any siblings myself, Utena ...but what does it mean for a girl to have an older brother? Utena What's this? Utena The moon? Akio Normally, it's something useless and of little concern. Akio But, every now and then, you look up at it and feel a certain degree of comfort. Miki Himemiya-san, not here yet? Miki I must have arrived a little early. Kozue You saw? Kozue Well? Don't you want to say something? Himemiya Say something? Miki Himemiya-san. Himemiya Sorry. I also went to check the greenhouse. Miki Oh, please... I'm just happy you came. Kozue I have an interview appointment today. Form Nemuro Memorial Hall Interview Application Form Please answer the following questions. Form Name --- Kaoru Kozue Age --- 13 Sex --- Female Address --- Man We've been expecting you. Enter. Kozue I'm Kaoru Kozue, 7th grade, Class B. Souji Well, please begin. Kozue Miki is my twin brother. Kozue Since we were very little, he has treated me very fondly. Kozue Lately, even though he pretends there's nothing wrong, Kozue ...if something happens to sully me, he acts outwardly as if everything's okay. Kozue But in his heart, he's hurt and he obsesses over me. Kozue That's why I purposely go out with people that I know Miki would hate. Kozue However... Souji Deeper. Go deeper. Kozue But, Miki's attention is gradually going to that other woman. Kozue It's going away from me. Souji I understand. Souji I guess you have no choice but to revolutionize the world. Souji The way before you has been prepared. Miki Kozue? Miki Kozue... Miki What are you doing? Miki That ring?! Kozue Isn't it nice? It matches yours. Kozue And here is one of the roses that bloom at the ends of the world. Souji That is your new power. Souji So, you should grasp it, without hesitation. Utena What's up?

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON THE EPISODE

title      Landscape Framed by Kozue
The title "Sono Kozue ga Sasu Fuukei" is a pun. "Kozue" is Miki's sister's name, but the name also means "the tip of a tree/branch". Literally, it can be interepreted as "landscape that Kozue points to" or "landscape that treetop points to".
Miki       ...Chuuchuu is really cute, isn't he?
Utena      It's not Chuuchuu. It's Chuchu.
Utena      If it was Chuuchuu, it would sound too mouse-like.
The "uu" of this "Chuuchuu" is the long vowel of "u" in Japanese. Unlike English, lengthening a vowel is not stressing, but it makes a different word.
Miki       I made some milkshakes. Want one?
Kozue      Why would I drink something so sweet?
Japanese milkshakes are different from American milkshakes. A Japanese milkshake is usually made of milk, honey, egg, and possibly some fruit mixed up by a juicer.
FPFE       I wore a beautiful kimono
FPFE       Children's Festival
Shichi-Go-San (lit. Seven-Five-Three), which we just translated as "Children's Festival", is a festival to celebrate seven-year-old girls, five-year-old boys, and three-year-old girls on their healthy growth. Usually they wear traditional kimono and go to Shinto shrine.
FPFE       Surprise! Surprise!
The Japanese "odoroki, momo no ki" literally means "surprise, peach tree", but it's part of the cliche "odoroki, momo no ki, sanshou no ki" ("sanshou no ki" is the Japanese pepper tree), which is said when the speaker is surprised or amused. The trees in the phrase don't mean anything, but they just make a rhyme with "odoroki".
