There's not even a single pink hydrangea
for me and Aki to enjoy
Isn't it beautiful?
The hydrangea reminding me about Aki that she is no longer in this world
I can't let the ashes go
You still asking why?
You disappeared in the hospital all of a sudden
I'd definitely worry for you!
I'm sorry
Forget about it, fortunately you are alright now
That's great
She's my friend...
I'm Kobayashi
Nothing
What is the name of the little boy?
He's Kazuki
Kazuki, please greet!
Good day
Excuse me for disturbing you this late.
Please don't say like this
We are leaving soon
Don't leave so soon
You may want to stay at our place tonight
You must stay!
Fumiko already had her second baby
Really?
Is that nice?
My parents
Use the same tone when talking to me as before
Only a bit different
They avoided the old topic
Their good intention to me
Let me comprehend that They are so worried about me
That...
Are you seeing with Saku?
No
We're in the same society in University
Kazuki is Saku's...
No
I think so too
I am sorry for an old woman like me to talk rubbish
But in some significances We may agree with it
When I had the child
I've already broken up with his father
People around me opposed me to give birth to the child
One person came and said
I will support you, try hard...
Only Matsumoto told me like that
He specially joined Kazuki's kindergarten open ceremony
We appreciated his concern
Thank you
I should be the one thanking you instead
I thought the child is always alone
Sorry...
I would like to know... did anything happen?
Is this Saku?
Yes!
Is this Saku too?
Yes!
Who took these pictures?
My grandpa
Grandpa
The one who lost his beloved
Why did he feel so sad?
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
Grandpa, this...
Grandpa
Sleeping at this kind of place again
Would catch a cold
Grandpa
That's true
What are you talking about?
Nothing
Did anything happened between you and Saku last night?
True or not?
Good morning, everybody
Where's Saku?
I have no idea
How is the situation between Saku and Hirose?
How would I know?.
I would like to make an announcement today
As that you said... Hirose, Jyouden
Nakagawa, Ooki
Matsumoto's grandpa passed away this morning
6pm at night
His coffin will be placing in the photo studio
Sutras
So many people
He is the most welcomed old man in this
I'm sorry
Ryuunosuke, what are you doing?
The return for the ceremony is not enough
Where is Saku?
Sutras
I don't know should I smile or cry
Hello
I think...
The timing is too accurate
He passed away so sudden
Just finished stealing his beloveds bone ashes
He left so sudden
Didn't even give some time for my tears
And left a weird request to me
After I died,
I would like to mixed my bone ashes with hers
Scatter in a place...
Saku, I'll help you
I am sorry, I've to go now
Today I can't send you home
Bye
That's my grandpa
The smog belongs to grandpa
But
I cannot accept the truth that my grandpa has already left
You also must...
Faster!
Sorry...
Can you do me a favor?
I didn't shed a tear in the end
Everything is too coincidental
And there is still a wish for me to fulfill
I also have inevitable thing to do
I didn't know what was in my mind at that moment
Saku, if you need my help
Just inform me
What can I help you with?
Where is the key?
What key?
My grandpa's home's key, I left my things there
Go and tidy up your grandpa's relic
My final exam is coming soon
We are going to close down that shop
No one is able to take over the shop's business
There're many things to settle
Including matters like how relatives would view
How does this happen?
Is this good to do so?
Grandpa
What do you think?
Grandpa is already dead
Sakutarou
Forget about it
Let's bygone be bygone
Agriculture Coorperative
I am going for work now
No matter how depressed I am
Grandpa is impossible to come alive again
Good
Great
Good morning
Morning
divine, sacred...
Monk
What are you doing?
I am memorizing English vocabulary What vocabulary?
Want to show off to his dad
He rejected to inherit the temple's business
His dad asked what else he can do
It is not bad to inherit the temple business
It makes money
You don't understand my feeling at all
But, brother you seem good
Is it?
Then today, we...
Nakagawa, Matsumoto, Ooki
Ooki, you've entered the wrong class,
return quickly!
I am sorry
Monitor
Everybody should be very clear about the data in hand now
We plan to practice the performance after the summer vacation
But we are still lacking of a supervisor...
I..
Why?
Because you want to be with somebody?
Be frank, I, Sakutarou Matsumoto
Had attained the champion of studying
activity when I was in Elementary School
Monk
Receive it properly
Saku looks fresh today
Yes, full of spirit
Saku
Sorry for letting you to do such things
It's ok
All these pictures taken by grandpa?
Why did you want to destroy it?
This place is going to be sold soon
Why so urgent?
I agree too...
But...
I would like to hand over these pictures to them
This picture can only be thrown away
I can't bring this picture home
How is that matter?
What matter?
Grandpa's bone ashes
No problem...
Really?
Why are you forcing yourself to look cheerful?
You look so unnatural
Saku
I'm fine
Should I say just on the contrary?
I don't know why I'm not feeling sad at all
What am I talking about?
Thank you
Need your advices in future Ok
You should at least say 'I am back'
I am back
What's that?
You have been suffering
How's the discussion?
Still the same
Until now the party still thinking of
changing all the washer's specifications
But we've already taken all the order
Yes!
Isn't it trendy for young people
to use the washer for morning hairwash
In simple words...
There's an increase in parents with filial children
But I can understand that kind of feeling
My daughter also requested a lock for her bedroom's door
Dad, you always say I must work hard
Why should I?
Like this is enough
Just now about the audio tape...
Those thing that would let people to suspect should be kept properly
Why would mum choose dad?
There should be many guys wooing her
What's so good about dad?
Why would you call him Saku?
This...
For you
Look here
How did you hurt yourself?
Then we've decided to manage the photo studio like this
Junichirou, fine with this?
There's nothing we can't do We have already owned this house
Then... We are supposed to take the offer
I'm sorry, I am not going to sell it
I would like to change my job and manage the photo studio
What are you talking about?
I said I want to take care of the photo studio
How can you do this?
I will work hard
Work hard? What about the Agriculture Cooperative?
No worries, I have resigned today
Hold on...
Miss, please listen to me
Our Namiyoshi died a week ago
My younger sister cried terribly
But I didn't
Why?
I feel so sorry to Namiyoshi
Because the only thing I can do for Namiyoshi
Is to cry for it
Summer day, winter night
Hundred years later...
What is this?
It's dad, I'm opening the door
I heard that you choose this picture
This picture is not bad
Work hard
The tire is weird...
Why didn't you discuss with us first?
If I discuss with you all You all will definitely oppose
I suddenly find that I am not that filial
This is the only thing that I can do
You should help till the end
I am looking for the placed for the bone ashes
The idea of scattering it into the sea was good
But since they are finally together again
They will still part in the sea
Burying it on a hilltop is unpredictable too
The hilltop is meaningless too
I really don't know where the right place is for their bone ashes
Disgusting
Yatabe teacher
What happened?
I would like to ask...
I would like you to explain what kind of poem this is
Summer day, winter night
Few hundred years later, back to his hometown
This is Ge Sheng Note: Ge Sheng's from Tang's Poetry
What is the poem about?
A poem regarding the pain of losing your love
In the long summer day
In the long winter night
You sleep so soundly at this place
Few hundred years later, I will also...
Sleep soundly beside you
You wait for that day to come calmly
It means this roughly
Aki
What happened?
There's only one thing could be done
You are right...
Pain
Good
I tell you
I keep asking myself why There's only grandma in this picture
But you look at this poem
I think this might be the picture that grandpa brought along to war
Ri's grandma must be brought along grandpa's picture too
They both hope to die in each other bosom
They are so persistent
I think we should do something for them
But, I have lost their bone ashes I don't know where I have left it
Don't know where it is
I was looking for it the whole day today, but in vain
How about school?
I didn't go to school so I don't know
Make a phone call to ask
Maybe somebody has sent there already I think so...
Nothing is important anymore
Even though we don't mixed their bone ashes
Their soul are already together
You are right
I send you home
No need, You must be very tired
I am leaving
Why?
Nothing
How is the situation?
Grandpa asked you to do something weird, right?
How do you know?.
Don't forget I am his son
When he shouldn't ask me to do
Why did grandpa ask me...
You don't remember?
You don't remember
You look
At the back
Junichirou's baby is born
With the reputation of a great poet
I'll named him Sakutarou
You are so free
I've asked them to rearrange my schedule
One pack of cigarette only for one week
Yes
Is this Hirose's home?
My name is Saku
Aki hasn't come back yet
She just called back
Sounds like she suddenly need to discuss about the drama
I have searched everywhere today But I'm still unable to get her
What about the school
I didn't go to school so I'm not sure...
I actually would like to find her and show off to you later
But I couldn't get her
If we still cannot find her here
Men's toilet is the last place to find
I am sorry, Aki
Really very sorry
It's really time to scatter the bone ashes
But my hands can't
These two bottles seem heavier and heavier
From what you've said
Make me feel ashame of myself
Fortunately it is still here...
Is it really here?
Should be
I've found it
Did grandpa set off for the war from here?
Should not be wrong
Grandma Ri sent him off here...
Wind... it's not coming
It's ok, let's wait patiently
Oh yes, why did you want to scatter it suddenly?
Because I have promised grandpa
Seems like... vanishing too fast
What is the promise you've mentioned all about?
This is the promised between men
Forget about it
Come beside me enough
This is the shortcut
Is it?
Bye
Aki
Thank you
The pedal is so light
This kind of feeling
Reminds me of...
My back...
Always...
Grandpa
I am able to meet such a wonderful driver like you
I remember
That promise
I remember Grandpa
Do you want to give up?
It's painful
Saku
Great, Saku, you can ride
Grandpa
From now on, I can bring grandpa to anywhere
I want to bring grandpa along forever
This is what Saku has promised grandpa
Are you all right, Saku?
Saku
pedal...
It's so light...
Riding alone
losing one person
It's this feeling
I will grow fat
I will be as fat as grandpa
Riding behind you
What are you talking about?
I could see
This is the most beautiful shadow in the world
I could hear
The most gentle tone in the world
The so called world
Is a person who's willing to hug you tightly
In his bosom
It's so warm
Grandpa
So when your beloved has gone
You will feel very sad surely
But...
Why?
Why it is so tough?
For you
Kobayashi
Can you hug me tightly?
Sorry, I just said it unintentionally
Like this?
Thank you
I want to go
Go once more
To the world where I can receive the beautiful tone of heartbeat
Year 1987 I couldn't save the only one I love
Year 1991, Japan Marrow Bank was established
