If I didn't know any better I would have thought that Aliens have abducted the real Haruhi and replaced her with someone else until the last few minutes of this episode. This Haruhi is so strangely modest and polite. The insert songs in this episode are also awesome. They are both performed by Hirano Aya and titled 「God Knows…」and「Lost my music」. The high-res version of the images are here in case you want them.

ENOZ feat. Suzumiya Haruhi - Lost my music (9.9MB, for PSP/Quicktime)
It's kind of brief but also small in file size. I hope the DVD will include the full version of the performance. That will be really nice.
The culture festival arrives at Kyon's school and Kyon has just handed in the The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru DVD, which he has edited, to the Movie Society Club so it can be screened to the public. Haruhi, on the other hand, is busy handing out leaflets in her bunny girl outfit. As for Kyon, there is only one thing that he can't overlook: an invitation to visit Mikuru's Yakisoba stall. As Kyon makes his way towards the stall, he passes by among others: the Computer Society Club with their The Day of Sagittarius 3 game and also Hard Gay. Since Yuki and Itsuki have their own activities, Kyon decides to pay a visit to their subsequent booth. Yuki is pretending to be a fortune teller, wearing the same exact costume that she wore for The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru. However, her idea of fortune telling is to tell her visitor every single mundane detail that they will do in each hour (ie. buying Ice cream, etc).
Itsuki, on the other hand, is in a theatrical production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. It seems like the kind of thing that Itsuki would play but Kyon is obviously not as impressed of Itsuki's bad acting as the fangirls who sit on the front row. Because of this, Kyon goes out of the room and meets Taniguchi and Kunikida who are on their way to Mikuru's Yakisoba stall. Taniguchi complains about the fact that he only gets 30% discount for his effort in the film but Kyon tells him to go home if he doesn't like it. Upon arriving at the stall, Taniguchi and Kunikida are blushing when they see Tsuruya in the waitress outfit. After asking them to queue, Tsuruya tells them that the only menus they have inside are just Yakisoba and water. Yakisoba will cost them 300 Yen each. Kyon decides to hand in the coupon that he owns so as a result, Tsuruya only charges 500 Yen for 3 of them. After waiting for 30 minutes, the guys get inside and are served drinks by Mikuru.
Taniguchi and Kunikuda are excited again upon seeing Mikuru in her waitress outfit. Mikuru thanks them for lending their time with the movie and proceeds to take their voucher. Tsuruya explains that serving water and taking payments/voucher are all that Mikuru gets to do since she tends to trip over when carrying Yakisoba. After 5 minutes, Kyon and his friends finished their Yakisoba so Kunikuda suggests that they go and watch the film that Kyon and SOS-Dan made. Taniguchi, however, refuses and thinks that he'll visit the Science club's BBQ party. Before that though, Taniguchi plans to flirt with 3 girls in plain outfit. Since Kyon is not interested, he tells them to go ahead. Kunikuda is not interested either so he tells Taniguchi to introduce him to one of the girls if he ever hooked up with one of them. Although Kyon doesn't notice it, Haruhi and Yuki are seen sprinting towards a particular direction in the background.
After wandering on his own for a while, Kyon decides to visit the Music Group's concert. The 'concert' proves to be rather boring so after a while Kyon ends up nodding himself to sleep (even during a very noisy heavy metal concert). When the announcer mentions the next group (ENOZ), however, Kyon opens his eyes a bit and is in shock upon seeing Haruhi in bunny costume and Yuki in her witch costume on the stage. Haruhi suddenly signals the players on her back and begins singing God Knows in front of the audience. Much to Kyon and everyone's surprise, her voice is really good so everyone really enjoys the group's performance. The crowd then goes wild with claps and cheers as Haruhi ends the song. Kyon suddenly realises that Itsuki is now sitting next to him and praising Haruhi and Yuki's performance. Kyon wonders why Itsuki wears his ugly costume so Itsuki tells him that he was in a hurry and didn't have the time to change.
Haruhi takes the mike and informs the audience that the original singer and guitarist couldn't make it and because of this she and Yuki temporarily replaced the two. Haruhi then introduces the members, Mizuki the drummer, Mai the bassist, as well as guitarist Yuki and temporary lead singer, Haruhi herself. Haruhi apologises if she didn't perform well as a replacement but she only had one hour left before the show started. Because of this she tells the audience that if they want to listen to approach the band if they want to get a recording containing the original singer and guitarist version. Haruhi then begins to sing the next and final song, Lost my music and the crowd goes wild once more. Despite Kyon's poker face, he seems to enjoy the performance as indicated by the way his finger moves quietly to the tune of the song. Even the people who can't see the performance seem transfixed with Haruhi's voice.
Later on Kyon finds out from Haruhi that it all started when she saw the band having arguments with a festival committee because they were not allowed to perform on the stage. Apparently the lead singer, Enomoto has tonsil swelling and therefore can't sing while the guitarist sprained her wrist. Because of this, Haruhi offers to take the singer's place and much to Kyon's surprise, not only the band members agreed, the lead singer actually told Haruhi that if it's Haruhi then she would have been able to do it. Haruhi then started to memorise the song's lyrics and therefore decided to find someone else to play the guitar. She found Yuki in the middle of her fortune telling and after explaining the situation, Yuki immediatly agreed to help. Haruhi admits to being surprise to see Yuki playing guitar so perfectly and wonders when Yuki actually had the time to practice. Kyon simply smiles and tells himself that Yuki probably did it the moment Haruhi asked for help.
Their conversation, however, is interrupted by the arrival of Kunikuda who informs Kyon that the four band members want to talk to Haruhi. For some reason Haruhi looks hesitant but after a while, she gets up and forces Kyon to come with her. The singer and guitarist inform her that they're fine now and thank Haruhi for her help. The two other members who played with Haruhi then express their excitiment because there have been many requests for the original song in MD. The group once again thanks Haruhi and ask Haruhi if she'd like something from them in return. Haruhi, however, politely refuses and tells the band members that she had fun singing the song. She thinks if they want to thank someone, they should thank Yuki. The members, however, had done this but Yuki simply nodded and pointed her fingers to this class. Because of this the band tells Haruhi that they're planning another concert before their graduation. So they invite Haruhi and Kyon to come together to this one.
Later on after listening to Taniguchi complaining about there is no hot woman in the cultural festival, Kyon decides to take a walk and end up seeing Haruhi laying on top of the grass. It appears that Haruhi feels restless despite feeling glad for the band members. Kyon thinks that this is probably because no one ever thanked Haruhi before. Upon seeing Kyon's expression, Haruhi challanges the guy to tell her what he thinks. Kyon, however, tells her that he's not thinking about anything so Haruhi decides to throw grass at him only to have them flown back into her face. Kyon smiles upon seeing this but Haruhi quickly bounces back and asks Kyon what instrument he plays. She thinks they have one year to practice because she wants SOS-Dan to perform in next year's Cultural festival. And since they're also making another movie, they'll be busy next year. Because of this she takes Kyon's arm and forces him to come with her to find musical instruments.
Impression:
I was probably one of the few people who like episode 9 and this episode in a lot of ways is similar to that episode mostly because of its slice of life feel. The best part of the episode is undeniably the rock concert. It was fun to see Haruhi singing like a professional so props to Hirano Aya for showing a different range to her voice. The voice that she used while singing God Knows is rather different from the one she used in Bouken Desho Desho. It's slightly heavier and feels more like an adult voice. Haruhi's humbleness at the stage and after helping the group are also nice to see. Speaking of the song, I really like the refrain part of the song, which contains the following lines: That's why I am going to follow you, no matter how painful it might be. Even if I must go through the darkness of this world, I'm sure you'll shine brightly. I think those lines perfectly describe Haruhi and Kyon's situation in the upcoming final episode.
Overall, the change in Haruhi felt a bit unusual here because she normally loves to showcase herself. In addition to this, she once told Kyon that she finds school clubs to be boring. This is why I find it strange that she is willing to help ENOZ, who is basically an extension of the Music club. Having said that, I realise that this event actually takes place a few months after Haruhi first met Kyon. In between all of those times, she has slowly changed a little bit. In the end, the fact that she can actually interact with other 'normal humans' and didn't find them to be boring, puts a doubt in her mind whether she has made the wrong assumption about others around her. This, however, makes me wonder why she behaved the way she did at the start of the series. I suspect that the answer is actually rather simple. Just like other humans, Haruhi wants to live an exciting life but she often does not realise that the very life she's seeking is actually in front of her.
Preview:
Next week's episode is The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi V. It's Itsuki turn to show off his power.
I don't think this one is as good as last week's episode. If it wasn't for Haruhi singing, this would have been similar to episode 9.
Similar to episode nine and therefore excellent, lol. Tastes differ, and the emotional development of Haruhi seals the deal for me. Or maybe I just like it when she shows a bit of vulnerability. In any case, nine and twelve have had a greater emotional effect on me than any other episodes.
UFO discovery! Haruhi can sing!? The novel translation site didn't spoil this, so that was a complete surprise. I like surprises like that.
You want to read the novel chapter for this episode, for sure. Because in the anime version, Kyon is quiet throughout most of the concert - and does some quite insightful remarks in the novel.
http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Suzumiya_Haruhi:Volume6_Live_A_Live
Gonna try to put up an entry on the episode in the absence of Omni, but in the meantime:
TV video rip (LO RES) of Aya Hirano's "God Knows" from the episode ;)
I have to agree with hashihime, this ep have much more emotions, and I like it. different taste maybe, but I guess if you have read the novels, you will feel the same as I do, as you see Haruhi changes even if it's just a bit.
This isn't a action novel/anime, you can't expect to have everyshow like ep 11. It's about the story, SOS dan and how everyone is changing, Haruhi, Mikuru, Itsuki, and ofcouse Kyon too.
Yes I have read the novels already, trying to get my novel 8, sigh.... can't find it in shop...
I knew i forgot some one when I was typing my comments, it's Yuki, she changes too ofcouse. (I better pick this in before I get deathnotes.)
It must be the paper thin existen of Yuki that caused me to forgotten her.
Damn, but I never realized Haruhi had that much of a figure... or would look that good in a bunny uniform. Between that and Mikuru-in-a-waitress-outfit fanservice, I think this episode would've sold itself even without the story... which itself is unfolding quite nicely. Haruhi was, for a change, not exactly the same brash (and slightly annoying) figure she usually is... and it's refreshing to see a different side of her.
Praise be to Haruhi-sama for her mercy. It's good to see her act more mature and embarrased Haruhi has just breached Kyon's pitiful defenses. I really liked how in the end she took his hand and not his collar. That whole grass deal was adorable. Nagato on guitar was awe inspiring, I hope Haruhi is able to organize her military band soon, I heartily hope Fang-tan gets drafted for tha bit.
man i wonder how long it'll be before the songs'll be released on cd
Those songs are included on the CD titled "Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase", on sale June 21.
Just two more days... YAY!!!! ^____^
maybe they include the slightest misses
God knows…

Is it just me, or do I sense a nationwide (and then worldwide) tour off a chart-topper coming up soon for Haruhi and Co.?
XD
There's not much more for me to add about this episode: Yuki's hilarious fortune-telling, the HUGE difference in reaction between Kyon and his friends when they see Tsuruya and Mikuru (Kyon is already immune to hot girls by now thanks to Mikuru and Haruhi), the awesome passionate performance by Her Highness that included many cute dere expressions, and the entire second half which was full of Haruhi character development...
...but KyoAni wins my heart once again with LOL-tan's posing sequence (I had to watch that part 8 times and then go frame-by-frame) but more importantly their superb attention to detail.
This scene occurred around 3:40 when Kyon met up with his two friends. Notice who's in the background? I doubt many people caught it the first time around, even the novel readers who'd know what to look for. Superb attention to detail. Hail KyoAni. *humps*
Thank you Pong!! In return, here is the Romaji for everyone else who can't read the Kanji.

Oh yah, the two band members showed up here as well~
has any other anime every showed this level of detail? i'm absolutely blown away at this episode...
KITA!!! lol
thanks for the lyrics too! wonder if a.f.k. will cross-check with their own version?
We have seen a previous brief flash of Haruhi politeness and modesty in her initial greeting to Keiichi in Lone Island Syndrome 1 where she was shockingly formal. But this time, I think, was more genuine because she was touched by the band's plight and the audience's response.
Some fan tourred around the locations and uploaded pictures. Enjoy them.

甲陽園 Kouyou-en, 西宮北高校 Nishinomiyakita koukou, and so on.
It's a typical Japanese local city, and its high shool.
I actually found this to be my favorite episode yet. As much as I like killer Ryoko and craziness, I love how KyoAni shows us the most detailed slice of life you'd probably find in any anime.
Amazing, simply amazing.
This song is awesome, I can't wait for the subs for this ep and hear Lost My Music.
God Knows is fantastic, I've enjoyed it a lot!!!
Can't wait for the translation of the songs!!!!!
Here is the torrent for the Those 2 songs she sings, the full versions.
The 2 Songs She sings.
Its in ape+cue format =/
If you open the cue with foobar2000 it should work fine and there are other plugins for winamp and such to make it work with other players.

Jun, thank you for that. That was really good. It's like someone took a screenshot from the series, carried it around into the area, and then took photos of it. Upon using Google, it seems Nishinomiya city is near Kobe?

Wow. Looking at the Nishinomiya City Guide brings back memories. I lived in Kobe for a year. Watching Hanshin Tigers games from the outfield bleachers were a lot of fun.

It has also an "extended version" of koi no mikuru densetsu.
Ah yea Ace, I forgot lol.
Now the preview makes sense. So much sense.
Does anyone know what will be on the CDs included with the LE DVDs? I'm ordering DVDs and CDs and wondering if I'm doubling up...
Wow, I'm slow. I was wondering why the anime adaptation made the band 4 members instead of 3 members like in the novel, and then I realized the band name ENOZ is a tribute to ZONE. xDD
Two of the four members have similar names, too (I couldn't hear the remaining two's names clearly)
ZONE -> ENOZ
Mizuho -> Mizuki (drummer)
Maiko -> Mai (bass)
Hrmm... poking at the official site it looks like you can get ED dance towels with the DVDs, but only if you order from their own website :(
The song "God Knows" is real AWESOME.
As you could say that it was GOD HERSELFsinging it!!
The scene in the back of the school was real cute. As many said that this episode gave a new light to the character of Haruhi and make her even more interesting.
When Kyon first walked into the auditorium the orchestra was playing something, did it sound REALLY familiar to anyone else?
WIN to the girl using a punk setup Pearl drums!
LOSE for the lack of kyon sis and the talking cat
but this is an amazing "calm before the storm" episode and i can't wait for the last two episodes! this has paced so much better than fate s/n.
WIN to the episode skippage!
Shouldn't the talking cat be in this by now?
i dunno, i found this a lot more interesting than ep 9 so i enjoyed it. this episode reminded me of beck, which is definitely a plus. i have no complaints except that this show needs more tsuruya.
What the hell. The way Kyon was trying to forget what happened in this episode, I thought something bad was going to happen. What an annoying crybaby.

We always say Haruhi rocks, and now she just proved it.
Is it me or the more we progress the more each episode ending gets a melanchonic taste?
Thank you to vest for providing the Full lyric to God Knows. Here's the romaji in case anyone is interested:

I don't know the song but it sounded A LOT like something Joe Hisaishi could have composed.
Wow, the level of detail in this ep is outstanding! Check out the early part (3:22 ~ 3:38 with Haruhi appearing in the background at the end) shows the band members arguing and running off, just like later in the episode

ah, missed that post, Saku caught it first. xD
how to translate (or, transcript) the title?
Live A Live?
Live Alive?
^^
00min16sec,
This poster is titled "Movie timetable".
Half of a schedule is occupied by The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru, though this is just a guest movie.^^;
In addition to Saku's post . . .
We can see bunny girl Haruhi and Yuki the witch toting guitar cases in the background at 7:02, when Kyon tells his buddies to enjoy the festival "in a normal fashion".
Can't wait to order the CD.
Garten-san, the tool tips on the images cracks me up big-time XD
To Diego: I didn't mention that scene because Garten capped it. x3
To Anonimo Italiano
"Live Alive" was the title of this story in the novel, and I see no reason the anime would want to change it. ^^
*POTENTIAL SPOILER STARTS*
A certain portion in the lyrics for God Knows... reminds me STRONGLY of the incident that will occur in the near future...I'm sure I'm not alone on this, right?
*POTENTIAL SPOILER END*
Translation for God Knows....
God Knows...
Vocals: ENOZ featuring Suzumiya Haruhi
I dash with a parched heart
Sorry, I couldn't do anything
You won't even let me
Share pain together with you
To live purely, I turn my back
Without looking back and leave
on the lonely rail
I'll follow
No matter how bitter, even within the darkness of the world
Surely, you're shining
The surpassing edge of the future
So that my soul won't be destroyed due to my weaknesses
my ways will overlap
Now, God bless us two...
Thoughts that grow hot when delivered
Melt into reality and wander
There's no reason to feeling like seeing you
It overflows to you, Lovin' you
At the very least, while I only draw
A beautiful dream, I'll chase you
for your lonely heart
Stop it, telling lies isn't like you
Look at my eyes and let's talk about things from now on
I'm ready
Even in a dark future
I'll become strong and my destiny just might be changeable
Even though I want to fulfill my wish
God knows everything...
You exist, I exist
And other people disappeared
While I draw the beauty of a faint dream
I trace my scars
So I'll follow
No matter how bitter, even within the darkness of the world
Surely, you're shining
The surpassing edge of the future
So that my soul won't be destroyed due to my weaknesses
my ways will overlap
Now, God bless us two...
Great Episode, awesome songs..just..plain awesome!!XD
The first song has strong feelings in it, its hard to sing as well(at least for me...^^;) both are surely suberb songs plus the super perfomance from haruhi..what an episode!
I like the -every day life- episodes most as well, perhaps because of the calm atomphere..
To Saku: Yeah, Garten called it first. ^_^
This is the best anime ever , for me , this episode make feel like if all this anime was for this and i was very pleasure . the songs are great i have watched the video around 10 times coz its amazing. The level of detail is awesome i never seen this in a anime before
Hello. It is a splendid website.
In Japan where I live in, Haruhi is broadcasted only in some populous areas. Anime became expensive, and business of anime became difficult.
And this program does not go on satellite broadcasting.
I look forward to release of DVDs.
Haruhi's development in the tree scene struck me in another way; remember how she was regretting how she would have done better if she only had a day to practice?
I remember a few episodes ago, in the one where they had to fight in Yuki's closed space against the Computer Society President/Bug, somebody quoted a Haruhi quote, going, "Haruhi said it is better to regret what you have done than something you never have did." Now, if she's not taking her own advice and regretting something that she hasn't done, is she regretting other things that she hasn't done, like helping others? I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to make out of this, but I merely thought it was interesting.
Dude this is one of my favorite episodes ever!! xDD i totally loved the whole music insert thing and props to the people who found the details of the band members around scenes. I sooo didn't notice it xD. If you look at one of the pics above that Garten posted behind Kyon is Haruhi running too. lol love this episode.
I seriously loved this episode, and I think I can easily say it's one of my favorite anime eps! The songs literally rocked, and I'm hooked to them! Haruhi development was very good too ^__^
Tsu: my copy of the first DVD shipped the other day.
please find "Lost my music" lyrics as well as the other songs. i love them!!! pretty please?
Anyone know where I can find a Karaoke version of these songs from? ^__^
i love this anime!!!! can someone please post full lyric 'lost my music' in romanji and the translation...
Haha, actually, Haruhi appears in another scene in the background as well. You can see her approaching ENOZ in front of the shoe lockers in the distance Kyon meets up with Taniguchi.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ( Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu?) is the first of eight volumes in the Suzumiya Haruhi series written by Japanese author Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Japanese artist Noizi Ito.
The Haruhi Suzumiya story initially appeared in The Sneaker, a seinen novel magazine by the Japanese publishing company Kadokawa Shoten. Since then, the story has spanned a range of media, all having been based on their preceding novels. Two separate manga series were created, though the first was discontinued shortly after it started production. The second is still currently running in Japan.
An anime sharing the same title of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was later created, though elements from other books of the novel series appear in the anime as well. It started airing in Japan on April 2, 2006 and contained 14 episodes. Though the anime series has no license overseas, numerous fansubs have been released. It is also known that Kadokawa Shoten has received various offers from companies in regards to licensing the anime, manga, and novels.
The latest incarnation of the Haruhi Suzumiya series is a radio drama based on the anime version which was released on July 5, 2006 by Lantis.
Plot
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi's classmates.
Kyon is a first year in high school who has just recently been able to leave his fantasies of mysterious organizations, time travelers and fierce battles with aliens behind him along with required school. However, when he chooses to speak to one eccentric girl on the first day of high school, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drags him into situations entirely different from the real world in which he had convinced himself he was a part of. This turns his world nearly upside down as he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow. At first it is unknown to Kyon that Haruhi Suzumiya, a fellow first year student, is at the center of it all.
Searching for a group that interests her, Haruhi joins and quits every club in school finding only dissatisfaction. Kyon makes a snide remark about her actions and accidentally provides Haruhi the inspiration to create a club of her own. To help start the club, Haruhi forcefully drafts Kyon, who only stays in the club to protect (or try to protect) other helpless victims of Haruhi's "voluntary arrests". However, as the story progresses it is revealed that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" has a specific reason to be there.
Characters
SOS Brigade members
Haruhi Suzumiya ( Suzumiya Haruhi)?, (Seiyū - Aya Hirano)
Haruhi Suzumiya is a girl in her first year of high school, as well as the title character and main focus of the anime series. She is characterized by her classmates as being eccentric, beautiful and unpredictable. She is very athletic, and her grades are described as "better than others". Her social life is non-existent - she detests small talk and is viewed by others in her class as a deviant. She appears to be interested only in aliens, people with supernatural powers (espers), time travelers and dimensional travelers (sliders), with no desire to mingle with normal humans, even going so far as to found the SOS brigade to try to meet and play with them.
Haruhi demonstrates on many occasions that she is very talented in many different areas, in spite of a lack of commitment or long-term interest in any pursuit. Before she formed the SOS Brigade, she joined every single club in her high school to find out if they were worth her time or not. She ended up quitting every single one only after a couple of days because they were not interesting enough for her. However, many of the clubs wanted her to stay, especially the athletic clubs since she is a natural at sports and physical activities. She also can play a number of complicated chords on an electrical guitar after only an hour of practice. She also had thirty minutes to spare during an exam, which she spent sleeping, much to Kyon's irritation.
Haruhi is the cause of an incident approximately three years ago before she entered high school, subsequently drawing the attention of three interested groups: the data entity aliens, a future human civilization with advanced time traveling technology, and a group of 'Espers' who spontaneously developed powers during the incident. They were drawn to Haruhi, correspondingly, by an off-the-scale data spike, inability to time travel to any date before the incident, and an inherent knowledge of the origin of their new powers. Depending on who one asks, Haruhi is herself explained as a crack in the space-time continuum, the first technological singularity to be spontaneously born in the universe or even a god. The "Agency", to which Koizumi belongs, believes that Haruhi gifted particular individuals, the 'Espers', with supernatural powers to control 'closed space'. Ironically, Haruhi remains the only member of the SOS Brigade that is unaware of the fact that these factions exist and are drawn to her.
Kyon (Seiyū - Tomokazu Sugita)
Kyon is one of Haruhi's companions, and the second founding member of the SOS Brigade. As a result, his name and reputation has since become inextricably entangled with Haruhi's. He is also the only "normal" human in a club otherwise filled with aliens, espers and time travelers. This is a cause of curiosity and concern amongst many parties, since Haruhi is "not interested in ordinary humans." The name Kyon is actually a nickname bestowed upon him by his aunt. His sister is responsible for spreading its use to his schoolmates, much to the chagrin of Kyon, who misses being called Onii-chan (Lit. "older brother"). His real name remains unknown.
A cynical and somewhat apathetic high school student, Kyon is the sole voice of reason in the SOS Brigade, sometimes having to reel Haruhi in when she gets too out of hand or too unreasonable. This task, much to his irritation, falls squarely on his shoulders since the other members passively go along with Haruhi's plans. Although he believes that Haruhi does not listen to his complaints once she has made up her mind, Kyon is actually the only peer who can mitigate the worst in her behavior.
Although the title of the series implies that Haruhi Suzumiya is the main character, the story is actually told from Kyon's point of view, and he narrates each episode, often commenting sarcastically on the various absurdities related to Haruhi and her various club activities. However, Haruhi is either oblivious to Kyon's commentary or blissfully ignores that there are any problems at all. In addition, it is often unclear whether he is narrating, thinking to himself, or speaking out loud, which adds to the deliberate confusion (one of the main themes of the anime).
Yuki Nagato ( Nagato Yuki) (Seiyū - Minori Chihara)
The only member of the club not recruited by Haruhi, Yuki Nagato was originally the lone remaining member of the Literary Club, but became a part of the SOS Brigade when Haruhi forcibly took over the club room. Yuki is emotionless, succinct and taciturn. Yuki avoids speaking at all unless she is prompted to do so by a question directed at her or because her duties require it. In addition to a love of books and knowledge, she also enjoys working with computer software.
Yuki is not a typical human, but a "humanoid interface" or artificial human sent by the Integrated Data Entity to investigate the cause of the explosion of data that occured three years ago which far exceeded anything they had observed. She is capable of manipulating data, which can have an effect upon the physical world itself, an ability that Kyon refers to as "bogus magic." As a result, Yuki can do such things as creating baseball bats that always strike homeruns or arrange for a student to mysteriously transfer out the high school. She finds it difficult to empathize with humans, and often defers to Kyon's better judgement where it regards ethical problems she has little understanding of.
She used to wear glasses, but stopped after Kyon told her that she looked better without them. She is also referred to by Haruhi as the "SOS Brigade's indispensible silent character."
Mikuru Asahina (Asahina Mikuru), (Seiyū - Yuko Goto)
Mikuru Asahina is a shy and timid girl with a childish naïveté, who is also considered to be cute by many of the characters. She was "voluntarily arrested" by Haruhi when she was daydreaming in a second-year class room. Mikuru was then forced to leave the Calligraphy Club to join the SOS Brigade instead. Mikuru is also aware that Kyon regards her with affection and is afraid of causing any jealousy in Haruhi that might cause her to become unstable and bring an end to the current order of the universe.
The primary reason for Haruhi wanting Mikuru to join was in her belief that an attractive girl needs to be around for anything extraordinary to happen. In addition to this, the stronger-willed Haruhi uses Mikuru's sex appeal to promote SOS Brigade activities and often forces Mikuru into various costumes; such as bunny-girl, maid or nurse costumes. Mikuru is also arbitrarily required by Haruhi to wear a specific costume while in the SOS Brigade's club room.
Mikuru is actually a time traveler sent by the future human society to investigate the cause of the turmoil in the space-time continuum three years ago which prevents them from time traveling any further back than that point. An adult Mikuru, possessing more self-confidence than her younger self, also travels back in time and makes a brief appearance in episode 10 to give Kyon a message. Mikuru likens her time traveling to adding another frame into a sequence of animation, meaning that history is not noticeably affected by her movement through time. Regardless, Mikuru is quite tightlipped when it comes to providing exclusive information (as well as her actual age).
Itsuki Koizumi (Koizumi Itsuki), (Seiyū - Daisuke Ono)
Itsuki Koizumi was the last member to join the SOS Brigade, recruited for being a "mysterious transfer student" by Haruhi's standards. Itsuki was sent to observe and protect Haruhi and the rest of humanity. Due to both his position and personality, he is constantly smiling and nonchalantly accepts any and all of Haruhi's quirks or schemes. He willingly goes along with Haruhi's plans and actively does what he must to keep Haruhi entertained so that she does not get bored and destroy the universe. Itsuki is also prone to giving long and detailed explanations, complete with exaggerated hand gestures.
Koizumi actually possesses supernatural powers and is also a member in a secret association which he simply refers to as "The Agency" ( Lit. "The Organization"). The members of this society consist of special humans known as espers who gained unique ESP-like powers three years ago. Since then, they have been actively protecting humanity by fighting giant beings known as Shinjin (Lit. "godlike person") within the closed spaces generated by Haruhi.
Schoolmates
Ryōko Asakura ( Asakura Ryōko) (Seiyū - Natsuko Kuwatani)
At first, Ryōko appears to be a compassionate and hard-working high school girl who is particularly concerned about Haruhi and how she has distanced herself from the rest of her classmates. One of Kyon's friends, Taniguchi, places her in the top three girls in the school with a grade of AA+: indicative of her pleasant personality, beauty, athleticism and intelligence.
However, it turns out that she is Yuki's backup, and as such, is also another "humanoid interface". Much like Yuki, she finds it difficult to empathize with humans, but is able to blend in well enough to be considered likeable. At first she cheerfully supports Kyon's reaching out to Haruhi, often encouraging him to "open her up to the class," but later tries to kill him with a combat knife in the hopes of catalyzing an observable reaction from Haruhi. Her efforts are stopped when she is defeated and removed from the physical world by Yuki, with a cover-up of her moving to Canada.
Tsuruya (Seiyū - Yuki Matsuoka)
Tsuruya is the hyperactive friend of Mikuru (from the current time plane) notable for her prominent tooth and loud voice. Not much is required to elicit long fits of unrestrained, intense laughter from her. Her knowledge of the SOS Brigade comes almost exclusively from Mikuru.
Her most noticeable features are her ankle-length hair and a small fang-like tooth which is usually seen when she is laughing or smiling. It is due to this tooth that she has an idiosyncratic speech pattern where she mispeaks words by leaving out syllables, as seen in episode 9.
Though not an actual member of the SOS Brigade, she does play a minor role in Mikuru Asahina's Adventure - Episode 00 and serves on their baseball team in episode four. She also has a small appearance in the ninth and twelfth episodes of the anime, but otherwise appears relatively sparingly throughout the series.
Taniguchi (Seiyū - Minoru Shiraishi) and Kunikida (Seiyū - Megumi Matsumoto)
Taniguchi and Kunikida are classmates and Kyon's friends. Taniguchi went to the same junior high school as Haruhi. Both of them played very small parts in Mikuru Asahina's Adventure - Episode 00, with neither having many lines to say. They are friends and are almost always seen together.
Taniguchi is comically lascivious; he gave a 'score' of attractiveness to each first-year girl based upon his tastes and preferences. Since he knew Haruhi from back in junior high, he is Kyon's original source of information about her before Kyon started talking with her.
Kunikida is much quieter than Taniguchi with the latter doing most of the talking when the two are around. Kunikida is a down-to-Earth person, much like Kyon.
The Computer Society President ( Konpyūta Kenkyūkai Buchō) (Seiyū - Nobuyuki Kobushi)
The President, much like Kyon and his sister, is never given a name other than "Computer Society President" or variations upon that term (all that is known of his name is the first syllable: "ya"). He and his club have had the misfortune of being next-door to the SOS Brigade, having been blackmailed by Haruhi for both a computer and an internet connection. He hasn't yet forgiven this, and checks the SOS Brigade website to see if they are putting the computer to use, making him the primary cause of their hit counter's steady rise.
He has a passion for computers and has, with the other four members of the Computer Society, developed their own basic sci-fi strategy game called The Day of Sagittarius III. He later challenges the SOS Brigade to a rigged contest using their game, betting four of his club's laptops in an attempt to reclaim the originally pilfered computer. In spite of their cheating, SOS brigade won this contest due to Yuki's overwhelming facility with computers. Despite the loss of four additional laptops, the President was at least overjoyed at having discovered a genius computer hacker that would participate in his club's activities.
There was once a girl who claimed to be his girlfriend, but it turns out he did not have one. This appears to be a plan Yuki made to alleviate some of Haruhi's recent boredom.
Other characters
Kyon's Sister ( Kyon no imōto) (Seiyū - Sayaka Aoki)
Not much is revealed about Kyon's fifth-grade sister. Much like her brother, her real name is not given; the other characters simply refer to the eleven-year-old as Kyon's (Younger) Sister or Little Sis (Imōto-chan). She has relatively few speaking lines, though she does appear in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina - Episode 00.
She is carefree, happy, and playful, once hiding herself in Kyon's bag to sneak going on vacation with him. She seems to get along well with all of the SOS Brigade, especially with Mikuru, sharing a sister-like relationship with her.
She is responsible for spreading her brother's nickname. After hearing an aunt call him "Kyon", she adopted the nickname as well. When Kyon's friends visited his home and overheard his sister call him by that nickname, they started using it as well.
Shamisen (Seiyū - Kenichi Ogata)
A stray cat whom Kyon was forced to adopt by Haruhi. During the filming of The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina, Haruhi alters reality causing Shamisen to temporarily gain the ability to speak. Kyon's sister gives him the nickname, Shami, and spends the most time with him at home.
SOS Brigade
Final version of the SOS Brigade logo
The SOS Brigade (SOS Esuōesu dan) is a club that Haruhi started shortly after entering high school. The club name is actually an acronym of: Haruhi Suzumiya's Brigade to greatly enliven the world ( Sekai wo Ooini moriagerutame no Suzumiya Haruhi no dan). An alternative adaptation into English can be given as Save the world by Overloading it with Fun: Haruhi Suzumiya's Brigade, in order to retain the acronym. Haruhi initially received the club idea when Kyon lectured her about how meaningful of inventions throughout history were created by geniuses: that meaningful changes in the world were wrought by a limited number of lucky individuals. He later goes on to say that ordinary people should simply live out ordinary lives. Inspired by this speech, Haruhi decides to create a club to address the woeful lack of aliens, time travelers and espers in her life.
This is the club that Haruhi Suzumiya starts with four initial members: Kyon, Yuki, Mikuru and herself. It gains a fifth when Itsuki joins later. In the beginning, it is unsure what the club actually does until Haruhi reveals that their main purpose is to find aliens, time travelers and espers and have fun with them. Normally, they should be an Association instead of a Brigade, but they were one short of the minimum five required. Now that they do have enough members, however, the Brigade hangs in limbo between being dissolved and being acknowledged as a full association; this is mostly due to the student council's unwillingness to deal with Haruhi.
Initially, Haruhi didn't have a clubroom to use, so she borrowed the Literary Club's room. All the members had graduated the previous year, leaving Yuki as the sole occupant.
The goal of the SOS Brigade is to "Bring More Excitement to the World," though the only known contribution the club has produced is a film intended for the High School cultural festival entitled Episode 00: The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina starring Mikuru, Yuki, and Itsuki as the main characters, filmed and narrated by Kyon and directed by Haruhi. The movie itself was thrown together during an all-nighter by Kyon and, as a result, is poorly edited and nearly incoherent. The movie itself is a meta-fictional parody of anime cliches.
Affiliations
There are three organizations who have taken an interest in Haruhi and the SOS Brigade, which ties all three of them together. Each has their own reasons, most of which stem from one single incident three years prior to the storyline. Each has managed, half through coincidence and half through design, to have a representative within the SOS Brigade.
The Agency
Translations have used "The Agency", however the term used in the anime is the meaning "The Organization"
Three years prior to the storyline, a seemingly random selection of people in the world were given abilities that could only be described as those of 'Espers'; they were able to enter new Sealed Realities, which they could instinctively feel and of which they were given innate knowledge. These select few banded together, numbering ten in total. They managed to single out the epicenter, the source of their powers, Haruhi, and now seek to protect and appease Haruhi without letting her know of their existence. They fear that if anything were to happen to her, or if she were to become displeased with the world, that she could simply wipe it and start it over. Itsuki Koizumi is their member in the SOS Brigade, there to prevent that from happening. This trend of thought often leads to seemingly harmless situations becoming something on which the fate of the world hinges.
A Shinjin in a Sealed Reality
"Sealed Realities", or "Closed Spaces", are odd occurrences in the cross-dimensional faultlines catalyzed by Haruhi Suzumiya, a sort of practice round for godly powers. Though they are normally impossible to enter, those people like Itsuki Koizumi and others in "The Agency" have the ability to both enter and to sense the creation of these places. Within a Sealed Reality, the powers of members of "The Agency" are made apparent; they may take the form of a large red ball of energy in which they are capable of red laser-like attacks and flight. "The Agency" uses these abilities to hunt the Shinjin, in order to keep the Shinjin from spreading the Sealed Realities over the world.
From the inside, if one were to try to leave the confines of a closed space, they would find a forcefield - impenetrable except by espers; that resistance marks the boundaries of that dimension. The world within the Sealed Reality is almost identical to a corresponding area of the world, but is grey and devoid of people.
When Haruhi's frustration reaches a certain point, it manifests itself in a large monster, a Shinjin, contained within a Sealed Reality, where it wreaks havoc harmlessly, unbound by the laws of physics. The more a Shinjin destroys in the Sealed Reality, the more it grows, enveloping, and eventually replacing the world, if left unchecked. When the Shinjin is destroyed, so is the Sealed Reality.
The Integrated Data Entity
The Integrated Data Entity, also known as the Data Integration Thought Entity, was born from the sea of data which covers the entire universe. Data life forms such as itself possess no physical body but for their lack of mass they make up in high levels of intelligence. It has been observed to magnify in size in accord with the expansion of the universe.
Nonphysical data has always existed throughout the universe ever since its creation. As this nonphysical data accumulated, over time the data gained consciousness and continued to evolve by obtaining more data until it met its own evolutionary dead end. This Integrated Data Entity took a particular interest in humans over any of the other sentient creatures in the universe because of their unprecedented ability to seek and obtain data, or knowledge.
A humanoid interface, Yuki Nagato, encountered a subspecies of Data Entity, in the form of a 'Cave Cricket'.
While Data Entities have eternally existed in their completed form, humans, like all other organic creatures, primordially were incomplete. Until humanity had acquired this unique ability, the Data Entities believed that organic life forms was incapable of evolving past a certain plateau of development, and certainly would never be able to make use of nonphysical data. While sentience in organic beings was commonplace for the entities to observe, the human race was the only one that evolved at a rapid rate with an unknown climactic potential.
Three years prior to the storyline, an extraordinary explosion of data came from one of the islands of Japan. At the source of this odd, rapid rate of data creation, they found Haruhi Suzumiya. In order to observe this phenomenon first hand and in the hope that they could find a way to break through their own evolutionary dead end, they created a number of "humanoid interfaces". Two of these humanoid interfaces, Yuki Nagato and Ryōko Asakura, introduced themselves to Kyon. Yuki indirectly became a member of the SOS Brigade, effectively filling the "necessary silent character" requirement in the words of Haruhi. Humanoid interfaces possess some limited power over the physical world by means of using programs to alter areas.
There are conflicting voices within the Data Entity. The dominant mindset wishes to simply leave Haruhi in her normal state of mind and provide minimal interference to observe her in her natural habitat. Others wish to provoke her, attempting to obtain a reaction from her; the goal being to motivate Haruhi to gather information and data faster, regardless of the possible negative consequences.
The Future Humans
Time travelers from an unspecified time in the future were surprised to find, like the other two groups, that a ground-shaking incident had occurred three years before the storyline began centering around Haruhi Suzumiya. From their perspective, a timequake had occured, fissuring the time-space continuum in such a manner that time travelers were rendered incapable of traveling further back in time than that event. In the novels, it is explained that three years before the storyline begins Haruhi actually remade the world, adding espers, aliens and time travelers. This is the reason there is no time before.
In order to investigate how and why this event occured, they sent their very own time agent Mikuru Asahina to observe Haruhi. However, she could not bring anything more advanced back with her, such as a weapon, because it would be too dangerous. This society tends not to give much information away in terms of future happenings possibly due to a temperal contamination and change in history. In effect, nearly anything that pertains to the future is dubbed "classified information".
Media
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is presented in a range of several different media including the light novel series, two manga series and lastly an anime adaptation.
Light novel
Main article: Suzumiya Haruhi (series)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel, written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito, was first published by Kadokawa Shoten on June 6, 2003, and is the basis for the bulk of the anime incarnation. This is only the first novel in the Suzumiya Haruhi series which currently has eight volumes, and is still running in Japan.
The novel contains a prologue, seven chapters, and an epilogue.
Manga
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya second manga adaptation volume 1 cover
There are two manga adaptations of the Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series, both having been published by Kadokawa Shoten. The first one, illustrated by Mizuno Makoto, ran from May 2004 to December 2004 and the second, illustrated by Gaku Tsugano, started in November 2005 and is still in production, with the first two volumes currently released. Their target age group is younger than the original novels to expand the series's fan base.
Both manga adaptations were published in Shounen Ace, but the earlier one was cancelled after the first volume. The reasons for this stem from the fact that the manga was considerably different from the novel and had little input from the original author. In addition, the mangaka was producing a related side H dōjin at the same time, which unsettled the publishing company. They canceled the manga, denying its existence.
I really loved this episode, haruhi was different in this from all the others episode previous to this. I really liked how she helped the ENOZ band. Love God Knows ... xD I love the drums (go Mizuki), and Yuki was insane on the guitar O_O.
I think another reason why like this episode, was also it had the slice of life; I love school festivals.
Alright, this episode has a lot of funny camera angles.
I really applaud this series' attention to detail.
When Kyon met Kunikuda and Taniguchi at the lockers, look carefully in the background. You see people arguing, and a bunny girl behind the glass door. OMG. You thinking what I'm thinking?
At the yakisoba. While Kyon and company are talking to Tsuruya, PAY ATTENTION!!!! A few girls with instruments run past!!! ENOZ!!!!
After that, funny angle again outside the window, Haruhi and Yuki sprinting to god knows where!!!!!!
Hard Gay's appearance rocked.
But those subtle details rocked even more.
hmm...
school festivals in england arnt really that big, wish i could go to one like that. its kool its like probably 5 times the original school festival in england and its even got stages for people to perform on. in england you dont really get to do things involving a club to gain money, they just have like a few games to win prizes, and stalls to buy drinks and snacks.
i thought that this episode was probly the best out of them all because of the concert and how ENOZ was surposed to be playing but haruhi and yuki had to help out because of injured/ill members. i LOVE "god knows" and how yuki was going crazy on the guitar. i thought that it was kinda strange for haruhi to randomly help out though although i also thought that it was nice of her.
