It's hot.

Too hot.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Hanasaki Radio!

We're your hosts

Hana

Saki.

And we are

HANASAKI!

Back once again on this glorious day.

Playing you the best music of the summer, all summer!

It's 7:30am, the sun is shining

the cicadas are singing.

What more could you ask for?

Ah, but if I could ask for one thing.

These kind of hot days make me want some watermelon.

Ah I understand. Let's get some later.

So did you hear the news?

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far!

Oh really?

39 degrees!

So that's why I was sweating so much.

The studio was like a sauna!

Really? Anyway, enough about your sweat.

I was dripping!

Yeah yeah we got it.

So what's everyone's day looking like?

Will you be joining us for a slice of watermelon?

Perhaps you're on your way to work or school?

Either way, while out and about be sure to take caution.

Stay hydrated and watch out for heatstroke.

Right right.

Don't make light of the summer.

You'll die.

Why are you saying such things?

I don't know!

Anyway, as the saying goes

"Everything good happens between the months of June and August".

And I think this year too is going to bring a fantastic summer.

I'm so glad to be spending here with you lovely people.

Hey I think a mosquito got in here.

Man it's hot.

Good morning!

Ah! Good morning! Did you catch a lot?

Wa! Nice! Well donel

Oh, got to go. See you!

Good morning!

Sorry, you made me jump!

Isn't it hot today?!

Damn hot!

And today's cicadas are particularly noisy.

Ah but I like that.

Really?!

Yeah, it's the sound of summer!

No way.

They're gross.

Yeah maybe you're right.

But it's only going to get worse from here.

Ahh summer in Japan is the worst.

There are some good things too though.

Like what?

Ice coffee!

Oh! Just what I needed!

Thank you!

That's good.

Alright, let's get started.

Okay.

Welcome!

May I take your order?

Hot coffee, coming right up.

One hot coffee please.

Cicada catching?!

It would appear so!

Oh no.

What is he a kid?

Surely he's too old for that!

Wait. What's he doing?

Hold on.

He's giving something to the cicadas!

Oh no.

That's so gross!

Cut it out.

Do you think he heard us?

I think he likes you!

No way! Cut it out!

Cheers!

That's good.

So how are things recently?

As per usual I guess.

On my end, I've been working on my new song.

If you don't mind, could you give it a listen?

Absolutely! Let me hear it.

Okay, here we go.

Not sure if it's tuned or not.

The sound is a bit off.

Wait, wrong chord.

♪ In a world where words are lost ♪

♪ There is only one person left who speaks ♪

♪ Just by talking this town will make you laugh ♪

♪ It's difficult to spin the words ♪

♪ Do I want to be this or do I want to be that? ♪

♪ I just can't decide ♪

♪ I've forgotten the power of my words ♪

♪ Do I want to do this or do I want to do that? ♪

♪ I just don't know ♪

♪ Since I've been tricked by the characters that I see ♪

I think the tuning was a little off but.

But this kind of thing.

It was great.

Even out of tune?

Really? I didn't even notice.

Really? That's good then.

Thank you.

Right, let's get out of here.

Yeah, let's go.

Ugh, it's still hot.

- Thank you for today! - See you tomorrow!

Ahh what a day.

Um...

Excuse me...

Could you just...

Please don't fly towards me!

Safe.

I'm ho me!

Who the hell am I talking to?

Are they still singing at this time?!

Hey! It's already 10pm.

Go to sleep already!

Some of us have work tomorrow!

Oil What are you doing shouting at this time!

Shut up!

The paper is wilting.

Looks like today is going to be particularly hot.

- Good morning. - Morning!

- He's back again. - Huh who?

The Cicada Man.

Eww that guy creeps me out.

What do you think he does with all those cicadas?

No idea.

But just looking at them makes me feel itchy.

Hey, stop! cut it out!

Come on, we've got work to do.

Good morning.

Morning.

What's wrong? Not feeling too good?

Yeah, I think the heat is getting to me.

What's up with your arm? It's red.

I'm not sure.

It is kind of itchy though.

Maybe I was bitten or something.

You should go get it checked out.

I'm fine here on my own.

Yeah I guess I'll go to the doctors.

Thank you.

Welco...

Sorry, I'm not really up for this.

Would you mind covering for me?

Yeah of course. You take it easy.

Hello.

Come in, take a seat.

What can I do for you today?

I'm itchy.

Itchy?

Could you elaborate?

I think I've been bitten by a bug or something.

A bug?

Do you know what kind of bug?

Maybe a cicada?

A cicada?

When did the itchiness start?

Around a week or so ago.

Right about when the cicadas started singing then.

Yes I suppose so.

You know how people start to feel itchy.

If lice or mites are even mentioned?

Now the cicadas are singing in abundance.

And I think because of that you're starting to feel itchy.

As soon as they stop singing.

I'm sure your itchiness will go away.

So let's just keep an eye on things for now.

Is there anything else troubling you?

I can't really sleep very well.

Oh really?

In which case I'll prescribe some sleeping pills.

Just until the cicadas stop singing.

Until the end of the summer.

So for now just monitor your symptoms.

And come back if they get any worse.

You take care now.

Hello. Sorry to bother you.

What did the doctor say?

Oh really?

Sorry, I'm really swamped here.

Any chance you could come help out?

Oh, yeah no worries at all.

I'll figure something out.

Get well soon.

Found you!

Come in.

Take a seat.

How are your symptoms today?

Excruciating.

The cicadas have been biting me.

Cicadas don't bite.

He put them inside of me.

While I was sleeping.

"He"?

The Cicada Man!

The Cicada Man?!

Look!

And what's this?

Cicada particles.

This is proof that he put them inside of me!

Cicada particles?

Have you heard of delusions of parasites before?

The idea that a parasite.

Has entered the body and is living inside.

Causing sensations of movement, itchiness.

And general uncomfortableness.

While uncommon, it's not unheard of.

And your symptoms are caused by just that.

So I'm going to prescribe a light anti-psychotic.

Just until the cicadas have stopped singing.

A month's worth or so.

Let's see how you get on with those.

But...

No no, it's okay.

You take care now.

Hey Cicada Boy.

Why are you always playing with bugs?

Since he has no friends.

He only has bugs to play with!

Poor him!

That was a good one!

Hey Cicada Boy.

We'll let you play with us

if you eat one.

No way!

Right! Let's play together!

But you have to eat one first.

Those are the rules!

Is he really going to eat it?

Hey this is fun!

Oh my god!

I can't believe he really ate it!

He's so gross!

What's with this Cicada Boy?!

Come on, let's get out of here!

Ouch ouch.

Sorry! Come on, let's go!

Help me.

Please help me.

Please help me.

Help me please!
