Here it is folks! Some screen caps of Touch... And of course, since you are here and since I am me, there will be some comments to explain some stuff... There are episode screencaps along with opening and ending songs. So, I shall shut up now and get on with it OK?

TOUCH The 1st opening song
------------------------------------


I actually did this backwards. So it's really from bottom to top rather than the normal way... But look how cool looking Tacchan is on the bottom square. My my... and well Kacchan looks really cute too. And you gotta love Harada and Koutarou. I love the opening images. I've been repeating that haven't I? But it shows the love triangle, the sports the characters are in and even the famous Koshein baseball staduim. And also that little riverbed Tatsuya, Kazuya and Minami always hang around in too. And it's no way a spoiler.

Kimi Ga Inakereba The 1st closing song
--------------------------------------------------


In English, the song translates to something like "What am I to do without you?" Or "If I'm without you".... And though, it's slow paced and done in a total different way than the opening song, I think it's really romantic. It's like "Awww..." I really love the slow pace of it and just the whole song all together. It's so bittersweet.

Seishun The 2nd ending song
---------------------------------------


Seishun means youth... or like the saying of "Mabuhay" in Filipino. Youth is like Spring. You have to have fun. A beautiful life... (eh, hopefully you know what I'm trying to say) But anyway, Ahhh! This has got to be my favorite of all Touch ending songs. It's so cute! Tatsuya and Minami... and like the previous ED song, this one is also bittersweet. But look at the end! Tacchan get's a kiss from Minami... Awww...

Episode 14: The Best Couple, Kazuya and Minami?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohhh... one of the more interesting episodes of Touch. You see, Tatsuya has this thing for oversleeping and Minami was trying to wake him up because she had to be the class scribe with him. Since he couldn't be wakened, she decided to put all these alarm clocks on his bed so he can wake up. While at school, rain starts pouring and while Tatsuya was trying to copy Minami's English homework, the Stat. club announces to the 1st year students that Kazuya and Minami were voted "Best Couple". Their prizes were notebooks and some pens by way. The whole class was cheering but Tatsuya was sort of sad. Later on, when Tatsuya and Harada were practicing boxing, Harada tells Tatsuya that sooner or later he will be in a "real" fight. And the fight would be with his brother... Harada-kun is of course talking about their situation with Minami who decided to wait for Tatsuya so they can walk home together because she knew that he didn't bring an umbrella. This is where Minami asks Tatsuya if the idea of her and him as a couple was really a bad idea... Hmmm... All I have to say, is that starting from this episode on, was when Touch REALLY, REALLY got interesting.

Episode 15: It's an accident. Tatsuya slaps Minami...
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Touch gets better and better from here. This is the episode where Tatsuya confesses his feelings! Well, sort of... Anyway, Tatsuya needs a new notebook, so he asks his parents for money. His parents and Minami's father though ask him about the "Best Couple" thing instead and they get distaracted and talk about how Minami and Kazuya are perfect together. So Tatsuya doesn't get his money. He then asks Minami at school for some money. Before Minami was able to answer his request for money though, Harada comes to take Tatsuya away so they can practice in the boxing room. When Tasuya returns to the classroom he looks in his desk and is surprised to see some notebooks from Minami. As he looks at it closer, he realizes that the notebooks was the prize that Minami won for Best Couple. He remembered that he saw Kazuya really treasuring those prizes so he gets mad at Minami for just giving it to someone so casually instead of taking it seriously and keeping it as a memory. So he throws the notebooks back at Minami. After class, Minami yells at him and tries to give him the notebooks. Tatsuya insists that she should keep it as a memory. Minami doesn't get it because it's no big deal but she keeps them and asks Tatsuya why he's so serious about it. Tatsuya doesn't answer, so Minami teases him about how he must be jealous of her relationship with Kazuya. She teases him so much so that Tatsuya got angry and slapped Minami. Both of them were really taken by surprise by it. Minami even cried later on. Tatsuya tried to apologize to her after school but backed away when Kazuya started talking to Minami. Later that night, Tatsuya talks with Minami in the studyhouse. Tatsuya apologizes. Minami tells him that he shouldn't apologize because he was right. She shouldn't take such things so lightly. She should have kept those notebooks because they are special. Tatsuya tells her that if it was for that reason only he would not have apologized. He apologized for slapping her because she finally figured out what his feelings are. *there's a flashback to the scene earlier in the episode when Minami was making fun of him about being jealous. Tatsuya realized then, that he just slipped and accidentally said something he shouldn't have said. So he quickly tells Minami to forget what he just said and leaves the room. But it's too late. Minami already heard it... and though we don't know what she's thinking at that moment, I'm pretty sure she's feeling much better.
