Up next, local weather.
Northern Misaki City will be mainly cloudy...
Every morning, I would hear the sound of radio in the morning,
smell the scent of toasts,
and Kasumi would be in the kitchen.
It's done.
It's that same dream I've been seeing ever since.
The time I took for granted only exists in my memory now.
Please enjoy the first song of the day.
A request from Hop Step Bob Sapp in Misaki City.
"Where The Wind Blows Through" by FLYING KIDS.
Here you go.
What?
I was thinking this is my ideal way of life.
Ideal way of life?
I can get breakfast made by a skilled cook... it's heaven!
Well, getting praised every morning is quite enticing, too.
You can keep staying here.
Thank you,
but I have to make sure everything is perfect, now that I've decided to do it.
You'll really accept the manager job at Aoyama?
Everyone here was asking me to do it. It's more work trying to refuse them all.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Good morning.
I don't know how much of a help I would be,
but now that I've decided to do it, I'll do my best to not disgrace the restaurant's reputation.
I believed that you would accept.
Ask me anything when you need help.
Okay.
Um... Can I just ask you one thing?
Sure.
Do your predictions really come true?
Everyone just says that.
I ended up staying here, just as you predicted.
Yeah. I guess I don't miss all that much.
Really?
Do you want me to predict one more thing that'll happen to you?
That actually sounds a bit scary.
You will definitely find a nice man this summer.
No way! I just went through a horrible experience with men!
That's exactly why it'll happen!
Whenever something bad happens, something good has to happen.
That's how life works.
So look forward to it!
You really never got it wrong before?
Oh, it happened just once.
Just once?
About marrying Kenji.
I've always said that I would never marry him!
Wow, really?
Yeah!
Hey, are you sure about this place?
Yes, it's more than enough.
You can find a better place to live around here.
Oh, no. Thank you.
I would want to be close to the restaurant to prepare in the morning,
and it's pretty much same as my dorm when I was an apprentice.
I see.
Hey, what's this?
I ask the photo studio guys for it every year.
It's pretty much a tradition we have at Aoyama, since the first opening.
I asked them for this year, too.
Well, it's Asahi who's taking the photo.
That punk.
Huh?
Who's this?
Oh, that?
That's Setsuko's previous husband.
What? Setsuko was married to another man?
Yeah, but he left for the sea and never returned.
What?
And I'm the replacement.
Welcome.
Hi, I would like to have a photo taken.
A passport photo?
Ah! You're the guy who hit on me!
It's a misunderstanding. I wasn't hitting on you.
What's going on?
You two know each other?
No. - Yes.
Is she famous?
Who?
The girl in the poster by the station.
She was also in a huge billboard by the beach.
I don't think she's famous or anything.
Stand there.
Do you know her?
Why do you say that?
You talked to me because you thought I knew her, right?
Well, she's not a complete stranger.
Is she a model?
I need you to stay still.
What does she do?
I'm taking the picture.
How's your dad?
He's just playing all day. Golf and drinking and stuff.
Natsuki is attacking with a promoted piece in Japanese chess.
The equivalent word for "new money" is derived from "promoted piece" in Japanese chess.
Attacking me after promotion, just like your father, huh?
We are totally a new money family.
The impertinence unique to the wealthy can be seen in your chess play.
Who's winning?
Isn't it obvious?
Good tea.
I accept my defeat.
You'd better keep your promise.
Fine.
You're done?
I'll be back for the photo when it's ready.
We'll do our best to make it look nice, so look forward to it.
Okay.
Ask me out properly next time.
Thank you for coming.
Who was that?
She's a 1/4 American model who just returned to Japan.
She's like a walking guy magnet.
Is she from around here?
I hear she lived around here until elementary school.
Oh.
Hey, Asahi.
I beat your boss in Japanese chess, so I'll get a passport photo for free.
What are you going to do with a passport photo?
I've always wanted to make a résumé.
It's pretty cool, right?
Mami, take her picture, okay?
What? Why?
You take the picture.
Why me?
Didn't you happily accept taking picture for her?
Of course, she's a customer.
I'm going to the meeting in Misaki Hill Elementary School.
See you.
Good evening.
Can you stop staring at a girl's room?
I got you some soba noodles. If you'd like.
Don't the person who moved to a new place usually take these to neighbors?
Well, think of it as a sign of our gratitude.
Gratitude for what?
Thank you for accepting the job as Aoyama's manager.
Shouldn't you thank me after the restaurant opens and becomes a big success?
Oh, you put the photo up for display.
It's not up for display, I just put it up there.
They mean the same thing.
Totally different.
How?
"Put up on display" is a phrase used for more valuable photos.
You should have more confidence on your appearance.
That's not what I meant.
I was talking about the quality of the photo.
I think that's a well-taken photo.
I mean, the model is almost glowing.
Yeah!
Who would've thought her life would be a living hell in just a few hours later?
That's not what I meant.
I'm kidding.
But it's pretty strange.
I wouldn't have called you if it weren't for this picture and the letter,
and I wouldn't be living here.
We absolutely had to grow out of our past to continue moving forward.
Wait! - That was close! Ow!
Actually... I'll do it on my own.
It wasn't the northern breeze nor the sun that washed away our past.
It was the abrupt downpour of rain.
Translated by 8thSin
This girl...
She's the model in that billboard by the beach, right?
This photo was taken by us?
You don't know anything, huh, Mami?
It's the photo of the century by Asahi.
What? It was taken by Asahi?
Yeah.
We had a few other gigs using that girl as the model.
Let's see...
That's not necessary, boss.
Just who is she?
Very good question.
Boss...
She was a college student
who won the very first Miss Misaki Contest, 4 years ago.
I didn't know that.
Does she still live in this town, then?
Oh, look at the time!
I gotta run to the bank. Oops.
Was that an inappropriate question?
I'm sure she's doing well... somewhere in this country.
Oh, it's been 4 years already?
The 2nd Miss Misaki Contest
You should enter the contest.
Stop joking around.
My dad is one of the judges, so you'll get at least one vote.
You're so stupid!
Mutsuo, let me introduce someone.
This is Natsuki. She's the manager of Aoyama until Secchan comes back.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, I heard from Kenji.
I'll go for a drink every day!
Thank you! I'll be waiting.
They look nothing alike, but Shou is Hikaru's dad.
What?! Really?
I got you covered for any fish you need.
Just let me know.
Thank you so much.
Where's Hikaru?
That moron's at his part-time job.
Oh, I'll come back later, then.
See you.
Hey.
Where does he work part-time?
A video rental shop. - A rental shop?!
He looks nothing like his father.
You're right.
Here.
You'll be surprised at how terrible their collection is.
You don't have to come if you're going to complain.
But don't worry.
This store may suck, but you can't go wrong with Shou's fishes.
Oh, hey.
I talked to your dad about the ingredients.
Thanks.
We should be thanking you.
My parents and others feel the same way,
but that restaurant also means a lot to me.
I'll do my best to meet your expectations.
There's nothing I want to rent, so let's get going.
- What?!
Sorry for having such a terrible collection.
I'll come back tomorrow.
Wait, really? - You don't have to come back.
Sorry about that. See ya.
Asahi is on that video rental shop's blacklist.
What did he do?
He's been paying a DVD's late fee.
For 3 whole years.
What? What's with that?
Remember the Kasumi girl from the billboard?
He promised her to watch that DVD together.
So he's waiting the whole time, without returning it.
Hey, don't you think he's...
an idiot?
He hasn't forgotten his promise with Kasumi,
yet he doesn't remember our promise at all.
What kind of promise?
He promised to take a photo of me when I turned 20,
but it's been 5 years already and he hasn't taken a single picture for me.
Oh... Is that so?
This is where I first met Asahi.
Chiba Prefecture Misaki East High School
When's that?
May 6th of my first year of high school.
When I was heading home after school,
a baseball club member came back from marathon,
and he talked to me.
He was hitting on you?
There's no way Asahi would do something like that.
He said "it's going to rain, so you should hurry home."
Wow, he says something like that to strangers?
I was carrying a painting from my art class.
He thought it'll get wet.
Oh... so did it rain?
The rain started pouring the moment I got back home.
The sound of rain made my heart skip a beat, I guess?
I see...
The downpour of rain, huh?
Do you have a similar fond memory?
Huh?
I don't even want to remember mine.
What? Tell me, tell me.
You know, it's about my stupid fiancé.
I made plans to watch a soccer match with him.
When I woke up, it was pouring rain,
so I thought the game's canceled and went back to sleep.
But don't they play soccer in the rain, too?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
So when I woke up and checked my phone,
I had so many text messages saying "I'll be waiting by the entrance."
Right, of course.
From that day on, he would text me every time there's pouring rain.
Well, it's just an emoticon of an umbrella.
Ah, I really envy that.
There's this one time, I checked my cell phone after work
and I saw that text message.
When I went outside, he was waiting for me with an umbrella.
I see... he was a kind guy back then, huh?
So why did he turn out like this?!
Do you still love him?
Huh? Of course not. I'm totally over him.
Really?
Come on, don't you think it's creepy if I said I still love him after what he did to me?
Don't you think you can't hate someone you truly love, even if they did something really terrible to you?
What?
Every time he's cold at me, I think...
how easy would it be if my feeling towards him grew away each time.
You're right.
There are so many solo shots of Takashi and me for no reason, but none by yourself.
Told you.
There should be at least one by chance.
Yeah...
Why don't you join us, Natsuki?
I'm sorry. My hands are full right now.
Oh, do you want me to help?
I appreciate the thought.
That was fast.
You got rejected already.
Huh?
What part of that was me getting rejected?
Enlighten me.
It's not hard to tell if you have a connection or not.
You just don't get it, do you?
A passionate love from the start only burns out in no time.
Love that starts from a tiny spark and gradually light up...
is the real thing.
So did you light up the spark yet?
It's not something you light up on your own.
It's lights up on its own... from the friction between a man and a woman.
In other words, it hasn't lit up, right?
Huh?
Welcome.
Yo.
Extension for a week is 2,100 yen.
Here.
Why don't you return it already?
Without my late fees, this shop would've gone bankrupt long time ago.
Seriously, can you return it soon?
What?
There's a customer who comes day after day to try to borrow that DVD.
That's a weird customer.
It's Hanae.
Either return it or buy it.
Our shop needs you to make a decision as well.
Hello? Thanks for mailing my stuff.
Did it arrive safely?
Yeah.
Hey, what kind of restaurant are you working at?
Oh, it's just a small one.
Is it by the sea?
Y-Yeah... the sea is very close.
I'll visit for a meal when I have time.
You don't have to!
How come?
It's far away, and I don't intend to work here for that long.
Don't work yourself too hard.
I'm not a kid anymore.
You don't have to worry about things like that.
But of course I would be worried!
Especially after what happened...
I said things that sounded like I was urging you to find another job in a hurry,
but you can take your time, okay?
Thanks.
Thanks, but I couldn't keep letting you feed me like that.
I'm actually glad you urged me to get out.
I can't keep dwelling over it.
We'll edit our data and send them to you later.
Please do.
Thank you. - Thank you.
Hello.
I didn't know you had that kind of gig, too.
We do lots of stuff for schools.
We basically do everything.
Oh...
All going well?
What?
I'm still worried about so many things.
I don't know if I can get the flavors right
and I don't know if we'll really have customers.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Yeah.
Tell me...
What kind of items did the billboard girl like in the menu?
Someone told me that she loved this restaurant.
Perfect day for surfing!
Hey.
What? Why are you here?
Hey, I didn't you were into surfing.
I'm into surfing... well, it's more like something I need to live.
Breathing, sleep, friends...
and surfing.
What's gotten into the guy who can't even swim 25m?
Huh? W-What are you talking about?
Come on, shut up!
Shouldn't you remove plastic cover before you use it?
What? Enthusiasts ride without taking it off.
A surfer usually wouldn't call himself an enthusiast.
What is he doing?
Tell me, why did you decide to become a cameraman?
The first time someone praised me was for a picture.
Picture of what?
The sea.
The sea?
I think the sea would look the same no matter who takes a picture of it.
Hold on for a second...
Tell me, would a dish taste the same if different people cooked using identical recipe and ingredients?
Of course not.
Photography is the same thing.
Is it?
Why don't you try it?
Where should I shoot?
Anywhere you want.
I'm asking you because I don't know!
Just look into it, and there will be a moment that you want to capture.
Don't miss the timing and just press the shutter button.
Okay.
What do you think?
You're a genius. So gifted!
Hey, why do you have to be so sarcastic?
Nah, it's not bad at all.
It'll be a lot better if you just lower the camera a little and make sure it's aligned properly.
Really? - Yeah.
Can I try again? - Of course.
He's so in the way.
He fell again.
Hey, show me how it's done.
Nah.
You know, show me what a professional is capable of.
The sea looks the same no matter who takes it.
Oh, are you blushing?
Am not.
Don't worry! I don't think you're that good anyway.
Here.
Wow, you're right! It's completely different.
It's the same.
I can't stand losing.
Can I try again?
Of course.
Hey, why won't you take a picture of Hanae?
What?
Hanae told me that you would never take a photo of Hanae all by herself.
Must be by chance.
How is that even possible?
Won't Hanae do?
For what?
I mean, you're making her wait for 10 years, right?
I'm not making her wait.
But you know how she feels, right?
She and I just happen to be friends forever.
That's not how she feels though.
Also, I said I'll root for you guys to get together.
It really is none of your business.
Sorry.
It may be none of my business,
but you should forget about the billboard girl already.
Can you stay out of it if you know it doesn't concern you?
I mean, she's been gone for 3 years already, right?
What about you?
What?
Did you forget about your fiancé already?
Well, it's just a matter of time.
So you threw out the ring already?
Huh?
Not yet...
How about getting your own business sorted out before you lecture someone else?
I didn't expect to hear that from you.
You've been renting the DVD you promised to watch together for over 3 years, right?
What's the point of believing in a promise like that?
I don't really believe in it or anything.
Why are you renting it, then?
Because I want to.
Does it bother you?
You are.
When did I bother you?
It pisses me off when I see you.
No one asked you to see me.
Is it fun living a life bound by memories?
I can live however I please.
I'm sure you'll keep paying late fees.
I would get rid of it.
I don't want to become a pathetic person like you.
I think people who brag about themselves to lecture about others are far more pathetic.
Man, you really pisses me off.
You're so stupid! Keep paying late fees!
There we go! Goal!
Hey, did you see that, sis?
Can you stop releasing the stress of your club activities at home?
Geez, shut up.
So how was the game today?
We got crushed.
Actually, I don't think you ever tell me when you win.
We've never won, so I would never tell you.
So... how does it feel to play in matches that you know you'll lose?
What am I supposed to do about it? I still love soccer.
Hmm... Is that how it is?
I mean, it's same for you, right?
What is?
About Asahi. What else?
Yes! Goal!
I want to score at least a point soon...
Working hard?
Hey there.
Can you put these in the fridge?
Okay. - It's heavy.
I'm so tired!
Oh, Setsuko is going to show up at the restaurant tomorrow.
Oh? She can leave the hospital already?
Well, she said she'll make it before the beach is opened.
Looks like her prediction is coming true again.
Thanks.
It really doesn't feel like we'll be opening the restaurant tomorrow.
You'll do just fine, Natsuki. It's piece of cake.
You're just saying that.
No, I really mean it.
You're just like Setsuko when I first met her.
What?
You've both passed the stormiest phase in your lives
and your strengths as human beings kept growing.
You two are really similar from that perspective.
Not at all...
I haven't experienced anything like that yet.
You must have far more experience than other girls of same age.
How did Setsuko...
forget her previous husband?
I never asked, so I don't really know...
but she probably didn't forget yet.
Huh?
I still said I don't mind.
So I don't think you have to force yourself to forget about him.
You know... a better guy will eventually show up.
You know, like the one standing right here.
What? Where? Where?
Right here!
Yeah! I'm on!
Please, can you do it in your own home?
Are you stupid?
I would totally be a crazy guy if I did this in my home.
You already look like one.
Oh, by the way,
we were talking the other day in Minato Ward, about how you never take a picture of Hanae by herself.
Is there a reason for that?
Not really.
Take one for her next time, then.
Well, you know when I take a photo of someone, they disappear.
What's this, Asahi?
When did you become a guy who blames himself for everything?
You really don't want to take her pictures?
We're still talking about this?
Didn't you promise her, though?
About taking a picture of her when she turns 20.
Why don't you take a picture for her if you remember it?
I don't want to.
Why?
I would feel guilty about making her happy.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Just because you don't feel the same way,
you think not making her happy would be kindness to her?
I don't think it's kindness...
All she's asking for is a single picture, right?
That's enough to satisfy her.
Do you think a girl who's been ignored for 10 years
would get her hopes up just from a single picture?
Rented
You get so much spare time in this shop, huh?
You must have even more spare time for coming to this shop every day.
Your shift's over soon, right?
Want me to walk you home?
Yeah, yeah.
How many points am I losing by today?
The score doesn't change so easily, does it?
So I'm still off by three points?
Yeah... sounds about right.
Oh?
Tell me how to score more points.
I think I've been trying to attack using different strategies,
but I'm sort of out of ideas.
Do you regret asking for this photo to be taken?
What?
You asked your dad, right?
To make him the cameraman for this ad.
Well... I would be lying if I said I didn't regret it.
I just wanted him to be happy.
Who would've thought I was setting up a meeting with the one, huh?
It's rare for an attack to backfire so badly.
Must be nice to have such a beautiful picture taken.
Do you want me to film you instead?
You're thinking of making a pretentious independent film again?
I don't intend it to be pretentious.
Don't pity me.
It's not pity.
Well, I'll try a little longer without complaining.
I'll score a point this summer. Just you watch.
Yeah...
Go for it.
I will.
It's so beautiful! Isn't it better than last year?
Yeah, it's so beautiful.
Why do you refuse to look at me, Haruo?
No, I was just thinking about something.
Are you trying to say that the sight of my swimsuit is no different from seaweed floating around?
T-That's absurd!
I'm just blinded by the shining treasures.
It's the long awaited opening of the beach, isn't it?
Yes. The beach is finally open to us.
Do you have any seats left?
Welcome.
Guest of four? There's some seats left in the back.
Here you go. Ready to order?
I'll take Yakisoba. - Curry rice for me.
It's so hot.
Table for two? Over there.
Two yakisoba, one curry rice, and beers...
Natsuki, Natsuki!
This is so good!
Yeah?
I would probably believe it if you told me Secchan made these.
Really?
Welcome.
It's for the grand opening. - Really?
Assorted dried seeweeds.
Highest quality product from our company.
Wow, thanks.
We'll use it.
The most out of place Japanese guy in beach is here!
My dad told me to bring this to celebrate for the grand opening.
Wow! What do we have here?!
Kinmedai, bonito, hiramasa, and oyster.
All ingredients that I can use, and so fresh!
Freshly caught. Our quality is unbeatable.
Are you serious? I'll cook these now.
I like your dried seeweeds though.
Do you want to be simmered and stuff in a can like our products?!
Can I squeeze in? - Yeah, let's drink together.
Hey, you...
Are you trying to start a fight?
Was that timing on purpose?
What? - Beer?
The summer has finally come!
Oh, working hard?
Yeah. Enjoy your stay.
Hey, can you wash dishes for me?
No, I'm a customer.
Setsuko told me that I can make my regulars work like they're my own limbs.
You have many other regulars here.
Why are you sounding like a wuss?
I wanna have a drink.
The beer after hard work tastes better.
I just finished working.
You do know it's all your fault, right?
Huh?!
Hey, can't you wash a little faster?
I'm washing as fast as I can.
Move over, Asahi.
I'll show you how it's done.
That's it! That sense of urgency!
Can you do that?
Do that. Got it?
Welcome!
Why don't you try to impress her by surfing instead of washing dishes?
Hey, the place is packed!
Wow!
Is it okay to bring the baby here?
Yeah! Do you think my son's genes are so fragile that he'll get sick out here?
Oh, that's right.
Legend has it, Secchan swam in the sea when she was only 2 months old.
Yep!
Hard to believe, though.
Hey!
Thank you so much for coming again this year.
I am truly happy that we managed to open without a hitch.
Most of all, Natsuki.
We managed to open the restaurant because you came to this town.
Thank you so much.
I will try to come back as soon as possible,
so please take care of the restaurant until then.
And everyone else. Please take care of Restaurant Aoyama,
and our new manager, Natsuki.
I'm counting on you for your support.
Okay!
Thank you very much.
Take your glasses.
Ready?
Cheers!
Thank you!
Ready?
You're just going to take the picture?
Aren't you gonna call out something?
Okay, ready?
Say cheese!
Hey, take a picture of me and Natsuki.
No, it's such a hassle?
What? Come on!
Hanae!
Let's take a photo together.
Okay!
How about just the two of us?
Let me join!
Hikaru, aren't you going to join us?
We don't need him.
It'll be just another group photo with more people.
Why don't we change to something other than "say cheese"?
What's with the impossible demand?
Something that'll naturally make us smile.
But Natsuki's the expert on cheese, right?
Cheese? Types of it?
Let's see... Gorgonzola,
Mascarpone, Ricotta...
Oh, I like Ricotta.
Everyone look at the camera! Ricotta! Smile!
Lame.
No one even called out anything.
Any ideas, Hikaru?
How about just Mozzarella?
What? Mozzarella? It doesn't work at all!
Mozzarella... not bad.
I like it.
Yeah, it's great.
Make up your mind.
Okay, everyone smile at "lla" part of "Mozzarella", okay?
Not "re" part, it's "lla", okay?
Okay, ready now?
Ready?
Mozzarella!
Acquire data.
What? What?
Whoa, wait!
Data acquired.
Mission accomplished!
Uh... what just happened?
What's going on?
You've always wanted a picture of yourself taken by Asahi, right?
That's not fair, you guys.
Who's not being fair?
You're being unfairer for breaking promise and never taking her picture.
Hmm... I'm not too sure about this photo.
I could've taken a far better picture for you.
It's okay. It's not about quality.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Listen...
Geez, you gave me a heart attack.
Don't surprise me like that.
Are you really okay with that photo?
What do you mean?
It's all right if you don't mind...
You want to take a proper picture for me?
I mean... I thought that was what I promised?
That's not what you thought, that's what we did.
But I'm fine with this photo.
Oh...
Think about it... I'll get my hopes up again if we made another promise.
See ya. Good luck with work.
Wait.
Huh?
It's going to rain.
What?
Your photo will get wet.
What's with that look on your face?
You don't believe me at all, do you?
It rained on that day too, right?
When we were in high school.
Don't you remember me telling you that it'll rain when you were carrying a painting?
You remembered...
I didn't think you remembered any of those things.
Thanks.
See you tomorrow.
See you.
From: Furuyama Kouta
Ugh, it's still raining.
Why are you here?
I thought you probably forgot the umbrella today.
So you came all the way here?
I'm very good at waiting in the rain.
I'm sorry.
Here.
Let's go!
Wow, it's pouring! This is insane.
From: Mom - I got a lot of pickled plums as gift. Would you like some?
Mami, I'll take a bikini shot for you.
No, thank you.
Hello?
Oh, hello?
Are you working right now?
Well, yeah...
Hey, do you have time after work today?
Why do you ask?
There's something I want to show you.
Asahi!
I don't think I can forget about him right away, just because I'm throwing this away.
Honestly, I'm not over him at all...
But I get a feeling that I have to throw this away if I'm going to keep moving forward.
I just can't forgive someone who can't keep a promise.
He promised to make me happy.
To take care of me for the rest of his life.
To get along with me even when we grew old...
He was just all talk and irresponsible.
I hate men who can't keep a promise.
I also hate myself for being played by a man like him.
For still dwelling over a man like him.
For still hoping that he would call me, even though he hurt me so much...
I hate myself for all that!
I'm so sick of it!
Ah! It's like weight off my shoulders!
Amazing! That was so amazing, Natsuki.
I was able to get rid of it somehow, thanks to you two.
Thank you for hearing me out.
It was a courageous and impressive pitch.
But I actually wanted to throw a lot further!
Really? It looked pretty far away to me.
You sure?
You arm is almost too good for a woman!
Really?!
Really!
But never in my life did I plan to throw away a ring into the sea.
Of course not.
Natsuki was so brave.
I saw her when she couldn't throw it away, so it was all the more moving for me.
Yeah.
Hey, listen.
What is it?
I decided to take a picture for you.
What?
My boss also said this...
but that photo wasn't taken very well.
Really? You swear?
Yeah, it was a promise.
Why are you grinning?
Am not!
Yeah, you are. You still are.
Can I pick anywhere I want?
Well, as long as it's not too far.
Wait, does that mean it has to be in Japan?
Of course. In fact, it has to be in this town.
What?! There really isn't anywhere in this town that'll be memorable.
Why are you suddenly so excited?
I mean, you finally agreed to take a picture for me,
so it's only polite for me to do my best too, right?
Be careful on your way home.
See ya.
Later.
Good night!
Good night.
Asahi!
Good night!
Of course I wouldn't.
I mean, we haven't watched the DVD of 48 Hours together yet.
Hello?
Hey, hello?
I heard you're going to take a picture for Hanae.
Word gets around way too fast.
Hanae was really happy about it.
Is that so?
Maybe you can return the DVD now?
I was just about to go return it.
What? Really?
Yes, really.
I don't want you to think I'm a pathetic person anymore.
You want me to go with you?
No, thank you. I can return it on my own.
Right.
Hanae was telling me how she already booked for spa and beauty salon.
Don't you think there's a childlike innocence about her?
Also, she's going to start using face mask or something to be more photogenic...
Please listen to Misaki FM again tomorrow.
It's the last song of night,
a request from Happy-Sad-Crazy in Misaki City.
"All the Youth" by Fujifabric.
The peak of summer has passed.
You like this song?
Yeah, I love it.
Don't you think the lyric is amazing?
But this is a sad song of a couple separating, right?
What? No!
Yeah it is.
It's a song about a guy who went to see a firework festival that they went together in the past,
in hopes of meeting again, but it didn't happen.
He happens to meet the ex-girlfriend by chance during the firework festival.
No, there's no way it means that.
You're not really listening to the lyric, are you?
I am. I love this song, too.
Listen to the very end.
He didn't expect her to be there, but they meet in the end and watch the fireworks together.
No, they didn't meet in the end.
They did.
She will be back.
Hello? Are you listening?
Sorry.
What?
I can't do it.
What the heck?
Three years have passed as I kept believing that she would return some day.
Which one should I pick?
I knew very well that I had to get rid of my past.
I still couldn't get rid of it...
because I was confident that I would never find anyone better than Kasumi.
After the very last firework,
we will be forever changed,
and look up to the same sky.
I knew you were up to something
Just because we were alone on the beach after the last firework,
you ran along the rushing waves and started swimming with your T-shirt on
Spotlight from the lighthouse shined down on your tiny shoulders every five seconds
Even God won't find out that we're on the other side of the Earth
We're just kids having too much fun in the summer
Our chests touched, fingers intertwined
Take a look at the bright new morning
Now it's just two of us walking together
Let's see what the future has in store for us
and embrace everything, even at the very moment our feelings break apart
Actually, I can't take a picture of you.
Why won't you keep the promise with Hanae?
The person you're waiting for will never return.
I don't know what to do anymore.
You know something, don't you?
I don't want to give up.
It has to be Kasumi!
