Saku
When you lose something,
it also represents the gain of another
Can you understand?
Aren't you taking pictures for me?
If mum and I don't have Saku...
we'll be in trouble
I like you very much
Kazuki
I like you the most
Kobayashi
Stupid!
Why do I have to worry about you all the time?
Sorry
Nuisance!
Sorry
Don't sneak out again!
Kobayashi, I would like to...
You do not need to bring him here just to play
Kobayashi comes here because of this
Frankly speaking... actually, I thought of death
But it didn't succeed at all
Only drank some water
You are too silly!
I think so too
But...
Actually I wanted to live on
I finally know I wanted to live on
If life is without Miss Aki,
will you still request that I keep Kobayashi?
Maybe Aki used this method
to live in your heart
It's not about forgetting or not
It's her living in your heart all along
I think so too
Kobayashi
There are fishes here!
You will get wet!
Come up quickly
Today is a quiet morning for a summer
Though there are no improvements
We are not stagnant as well
Good bye Saku
As time passes
I suddenly felt that
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
Hoping that there is a miracle pill for rejuvenation
Right?
Saku
Take this
I am a leukemia patient
You have also been thinking of this all along, Saku...
You have felt that I am dying
That's why I believe Aki Hirose
But when I was in the prison
Tuberculosis's miracle pill of rejuvenation
Also healed her...
My mum thought that egg can cure all sickness...
Sorry for troubling you
Thank you
But don't worry too much
The journey is still a long way
Being too meticulous will sap you of all your energy
Hello
You have to greet people when you see them
Hello
May I know...
Because today is Sunday
You seems to be here everyday Making your own decision to come here
Then in future, I'll ask dad first...
Dad?
Sorry
Then I'll make a move first
Who asked you to go back?
Dad, you can still find these books!
Dad
Dad, are you feeling very tired lately?
If I'm tired, will I still purposely come over?
Take off the mask
Saku too
You wear it too]
I cannot speak then
Didn't you say that you will fight with the cancer all the way?
Is dad's job very stressful?
Will my medical fees cost a bomb?
Don't you worry too much!
But...
Then do you want to ask for forgiveness?
Are you going back now?.
I still have to go to work
Your future university...
What do you have in mind?
I do not know how long the treatment will be
You have your life too
That, my grandpa...
You should call him Grandfather in front of outsiders
My Grandfather's lover once contracted tuberculosis
As she fights to live on...
One day, the miracle rejuvenation pill
suddenly took effect and healed her illness
I think this is possible too
I also hope so
Since so,
I am still worried about Aki's father's words
For example,
how long do we've to wait for the miracle pill to take effect?
How many more years do we have to wait?
Ten more years?
How many more tapes do we have to accumulate?
Let's duel
Okay!
But...
Scissors, paper, stone
No matter what happens, as long as she lives on
Lives on to that day...
I am going to return all your passports now
If I forget, you will not be able to board the plane
lkeda
Here!
Yasuura Here!
Yasuda Here!
Why can't we visit Hirose?
Isn't her better the last time?
Mazaki Here!
If you go, you will talk about the things in school
Can't I talk about school?
This may cause her to feel sad
Then I wouldn't talk about school
Brother!
What is this?
Don't tell me that it is a love letter!
Nagakawa, Matsumoto, Ooki
Matsumoto, Please come to the office later
Graduation tour is in one week's time
Are you really not coming along?
I thought this event is not compulsory?
If you are too concerned about these matters,
it'll burden Hirose further
Tomoyo
Why are you here?
why do I have to obtain your permission to talk to Hirose?
This...
I heard that you received a love letter today
That...
You are too nosy!
It's her that's nosy!
Bye bye!
Are you suspicious of me?
See!
Suke's niece came to my studio
to take photo the last time for festival
She's very cute!
Really very cute!
This is because she does not resembles Suke
Can I not wear?
This seems like reminding me that I am a patient
Although the truth is so
Is it this book?
Didn't I read a poem at the funeral's farewell speech?
Majima said that could be a poem of the Australian Natives
I am a leukemia patient
Isn't dying now the same?
Aki
It's not so...
I would think too much now
I think that sacred place is called Honolulu
Honolulu?
To the aboriginals
That place seems to be the Earth's navel
Or symbolizes the center of the Earth
I feel like going there to see
Saku,
aren't you going to the graduation tour?
I'm not going
Why?
I am not interested in Australia
You can take a holiday for that few days
We'll go there together in future
You can go and explore first Take more photos!
Okay?
Your urea acid and LDH index is a bit high
Your condition worsen?
Nope, Leukemia is like this
Listen...
If you ignore it
The bad white blood cells will multiply
That's why I am using cancer fighting medicines to
cut down on the number of bad cells
Going through this kind of treatment continuously
Maintaining the condition of the body
There's no way to cure it immediately
So far, there is still no such method
You can also treat it as Tinea Pedis
A symptom that is hard to cure...
Who knows, there may be a cure tomorrow?.
When will that tomorrow comes?
Why are you going?
If so, Aki will be very pitiful
Too much worries is bad
What if something happen during the tour?
What should we do?
Don't say such things!
It's my fault
Sorry
Such things will not happen!
Correct?
Grandpa
Let's go.
Come quickly!
Not sure if he has gone off or not
Strange?
No battery?
Take more pictures back
Very relaxing
What happened?
I am going back now
What happened?
It's none of your business
Saku
What happened to you?
What happened?
He suddenly said that he has to go back
Is it because he suddenly misses Aki a lot?
You aren't a kid anymore!
Tonight, you can treat me as her and hug me to ease the feeling
She may die today!
She is a leukemia patient!
Will she die?
She will not die!
Every time I felt like that when my period comes
If your period does not comes, you'll not be able to have children
That's true!
It must be it has always been irregular
Commonly said
I should be the one who should take care of our parents
Sorry I have yet to give up this privilege!
Itchy!
I have contacted them already
Let's introduce the next post card
Miss Wen, please listen to me
Due to my parents, my girlfriend
carries the burden of a huge debt
I wanted to try my best to help her bear the burden
But the burden got heavier
Even with my motivation,
she still often cries over her mis-fortune
I have fallen for another person lately
I am really a lousy guy!
Beautiful...
Let's take a picture
That's great... That is very huge!
You also have your own life
That's cute
She is so different from Suke
Dangerous...
Come over and take a picture... Let's take a picture first...
The navel of the Earth
It is so near to the sky
In the end, I could only take a picture
It is because I want to come here with Aki
I hope Aki can see this scenery herself
I told this to myself
One day, when the miracle pill takes effect and heal her illness
I think there is this possibility too
Impossible, Saku
Saku, what will happen to your luggage?
Has her condition worsen?
Nope
It is only during her treatment that she can't meet others
But I thought aunty can still go into the room?
There are some areas which she doesn't want you to see
I think she will come out in a while
Aki this is for you
Saku
I feel tired being with you
Other than you treating me like a patient
And your faith in me that I will recover
Have let me felt very vexed
That is why...
Please don't come again
Good by Saku
Aki
Aki can't bath everyday now
She also can't wash her hair
She has to be under drip for the next 24hours
Her hair also dropped due to the medicine
She also vomits very frequently
I also do not know how long this will drag on
This is the reality that Aki has to face now
You just treat that you did not see her
What happened?
In her tape, she told me not to come
I am sorry, I panic too much
What's more?
She said that she feel very tired when she's with me
yes
Aki's mum's
Really resembles Aki
She still say that I am very troublesome
yes
I can't stand this anymore
She still apologized to me
I can't figure out this whole issue
I can't even differentiate why I am crying
It is only in reality
What I can do is so limited
It is when she is fighting hard to live on
One day if the miracle pill takes effect,
and heal her illness
But isn't it that aunty can enter the room?
From the day I am born...
I have never felt so ashamed
Helping the weak to see hope
What hope can it bring?
When the sun is about to set
The crows start to return to the nest in small groups
The birds flying hastily
The sight of groups of magpies gradually grows smaller
What are you doing?
Don't speak to me now
This way, I will have to start all over again
Come and make a wish too
How relaxing!
I wonder when will be the next time that I can go out again?
If I can go out, I want to go out with Suka...
Mum, I...
Please tell Suka not to come again
I have to do this for sake of Suka
I always have to impose on others to take care of me
Mum, please do me this favor
You did not only bring trouble to me now
Aki
When you were still in my womb
There was once when your heart beat grows weak
It gives me a fright and I ran to ask the doctor
The doctor asked me to take a cup of wine before I go to sleep
I want to help you up now
Can I?
After you are born, you were still very naughty
Left home yourself
Also did not want to come to the hospital
After you suddenly fainted, then you came back to my side
But, I never thought that you brings trouble to me
But there is still a difference between parents and lovers
Suka still have to go into the colorful world in future
And get to meet other girls
Until that time, how can I keep his heart?
I do not have anything that is better than others
Not only that I don't have any hair
I can only spend money
Also have changed and become anti-social
also not able to have any children
He doesn't have any reasons to choose a girl like me
Even if I survive,
I'll have to face this reality in future
But...
I think I can still live till that time
Mum, you must live till then okay?
Because you are mother
You must be there...
You must be there, okay?
Being by my side at all times
You must at least come to classes
Teacher
What can I do for Aki?
I don't know
I don't know what Hirose needs you to do for her
Only the two of you knows
Do you think you are dying?
No matters whether it is me, or you
Don't you think that we may die tomorrow?.
Actually everyone is the same
If you have to die tomorrow,
What do you want to do?
You never said that you like me
Aki
Saku
Go back
I only want to get this... Go back!
Please
Good evening, I am Matsumoto Saku
I have to tell you the matter I hate the most
The fifth in place is
The one who was easily kissed by other guys
Without any preparations, Aki Hirose
What are you doing? Saku, please don't
What are you doing?
The fourth in place is
the one who always act tough in front of me
The person who don't treat me any special
- Aki Hirose
That's great!
Please, don't act tough in front of me
The third in place is
the one who wanted to commit suicide by the sea
- Aki Hirose
What are you doing?
Isn't it the same if I die now?.
The second in place is
Using a tape to convey that she want to break up,
Someone who belittle others - Aki Hirose
The first in place is
The one who wanted to sit behind me,
But did not want to follow the rules - Aki Hirose
I'll turn fat
I'll grow to become as fat as Grandpa
Sit behind you,
Only the one stated above,
Other than that, I love all others
I love every other things
Saku
I...
don't have anything to give to you
Being with me,
There is nothing good in it already
I have nothing left
Will this do?
Then...
Marry me
Write your name here
Please give me happiness
We are always losing out...
Even the future that we are sharing
There is still a glimpse of hope
And also the happiness that we think are supposed to be so
Everything is being taken away
There's only 1 exception
I still like Aki Hirose
I love her very very very much...
I love her very much...
Saku, you must sit tight
Not at all time that Matsumoto is willing to help you take a picture
Kobayashi
That...
Can I join you?
Family photo
Sure!
I am going to take now
Kazuki, see that side
The feeling now is so different from the enthusiasm that you had
But, it is still like that time
I also want to let the both of them to be happy
And also hope to derive happiness from them
I was hoping so
I was hoping so, Aki
I didn't expect tomorrow symbolizes the future of a downfall
I did not notice this at all...
1991, the Bone Marrow Bank was set up
