Digimon Adventure 02 Drama CD: Yamato Ishida Tegami -Letter-

Synopsis
TRACK 01: The First Letter

An unnamed girl leaves Yamato a cassette tape (her 'letter') thanking him for visiting her the other day. She tells him to stay in school and not get to involved in his band (despite admitting she hasn't been going to school much lately). She starts to say how she met Gabumon when the tape stops and the sound of footsteps are heard.

TRACK 02: The Sea

This track starts out with Yamato going to the beach, during the winter. He plays his guitar and he and Gabumon talk about how Yamato is acting weird. They start walking and comment on thier surroundings when Taichi calls to ask why Yamato isn't in school where he should be. They continue walking and Yamato say's he doesn't know why he skipped school but that coming here might make him figure some things out. They hear someone coming and Gabumon hide's behind a fishing boat.

TRACK 03: The Surfer

A man approaches Yamato and excitingly shows him his surfboard. Yamato seems irritated by the 'old man' explaining his surfboard in great detail, and gets more angry when the surfer puts on his purple wet suit, eager to explain that to Yamato too. The man begins telling his life story of surfing when eventually Yamato starts to leave. The surfer say's that he knows Yamato came here because of girl problems.

TRACK 04: The Girl

Gabumon returns excited because he claims to know why Yamato has been acting weird. Gabumon said he knows it's because of a girl, and then goes on to say that he knows who it is, even though Yamato denies it. Yamato then has a flashback of talking on the phone with someone, regarding a decision she have to make. The unknown person then hangs up on Yamato mid-sentence. That is the end of the flashback and Yamato is thinking about what he would decide in her decision, and that the reason he came to the sea is because she loves it and he was hoping to get an answer to his problem. Yamato then goes to a snack food stand while Gabumon says he'll find something in the ocean, and digivolves.

TRACK 05: The Owner of the Shaved Ice Stand

Yamato askes the owner of the stand if he has anything warm for sale. The owner explains that it is a shaved ice stand and gives Yamato some shaved ice even though he didn't order anything. The man says he is open during the winter because he is waiting. He explains that he was fired from his old job and his wife left and child left him. She left him a note that said the marriage was a mistake. The owners fondest memory was one of them on the beach so that's why he opened the stand. He just waits there hoping they will return. Yamato then quickly eats the shaved ice, says goodbye and leaves as the owner then starts to cry.

TRACK 06: The Girl 2

Gabumon returns full, and brings up the girl again. He says she talks a lot about him, saying that he is delicate and serious, but that is why she likes him. Yamato says that she's in a lot of suffering and pain, he claims comforting her won't help and that there's nothing he can do to help. He eventually gets frustrated with himself and angry that Gabumon say's he's not acting like himself.

TRACK 07: Acoustics Man, Sakurada

Yamato get a phone call from someone named Sakurada that works with his Dad, he tells him to turn around, and is standing right behind him. He tells Yamato that he is looking to capture the Sound of the sea. He ends up talking to Gabumon because Yamato appears off in his own world, and repeatedly mumbles to himself. Sakurada then says he wants to recored the sounds of the waves and also suggests that they watch a movie called 'Demon Tank T-34'

TRACK 08: Demon Tank T-34

Sakurada explains the Russian movie that takes place during World War II. Yamato still not paying attention to anything the man has to say comes to the realization that 'he just wants her to listen'. He smiles then runs off with Gabumon.

TRACK 09: The Second Letter

A second cassette tape begins to play, it is the same girl again and she said she listened to the tape that Yamato sent her. She was nervous about getting surgery for her eyes, but after hearing his song she decided to go through with it. She tells him that they will go to the ocean that he went to see. Yamato's song then plays.

Song Translation
An unidentifiable anxiety quickly steals over us, as if it were after us Second-hand knowledge and useless conventions confuse us.

When you grow tired of living like this every day, you escape to Kyoto? Rather than passing your days pretending it doesn’t exist, try looking at our truth. This is the only thing I won’t give up, this pride dwelling within my heart…

Let’s run, not for anyone else, but because it is better than standing still. Cut through the translucent air and head for that glittering ocean. Oh, keep on running, keep on running. Find out your reality.

There’s no time to waste twiddling your thumbs as you stand before a new door. Take a running jump and give it a flying kick.

I know you can do it, too.

An invisible unease surrounds you, clouding your eyes. Our confidence wavering, we let our bodies tremble as they have never done before.

Because you hate that part of you, you hug yourself to your knees? You shut your eyes far too quickly — try looking at our truth. We are never completely helpless when we muster our courage…

Let’s find it, not for anyone else, but because it is better than giving up. Shake off your cowardice and search for the true answer. Oh, keep on running, keep on running. Find out your reality.

The door leading you to a new world will never be locked. Have faith in yourself and kick it open.

I know you can find it.

Let’s run, not for anyone else, but because it is better than standing still. Cut through the translucent air and head for that glittering ocean. Oh, keep on running, keep on running. Find out your reality.

There’s no time to waste twiddling your thumbs as you stand before a new door. Take a running jump and give it a flying kick.

I know you can do it, too. You can get there…
