From when you're first born.
You have the same face.
You wear the same clothes.
So we've never really cared.
But in truth, we all have different lives.
We each have our different existences.
Though we're the same.
It doesn't mean that we can feel the other's happiness.
Itsuka no kimie ~Zutto Soba ni Itehoshi~
You.
What have you been doing up to now?
You know...
You've done nothing! What's that about?
You haven't even gotten down the basics, and you already want to take pictures of yourself.
I'll tell you the truth. There's no way you can do it.
It's started. He's gonna go crazy.
How many times has it been?
Does my teaching really annoy you that much?
What's with that expression?
If you have something to say, say it.
Say it.
I can't take pictures of things that don't matter.
What did you say?
Excuse me.
Stop!
There's no way!
Yamarochi! Why do you always take pictures of food?
Sorry.
It's not about the apology! It can't be counted as a photo, you idiot!
Sorry!
I can't take pictures of things that don't matter.
Stop it!
But Mr. Glasses really did get angry.
Who is that guy anyways?
Fukami Noboru. He starts class with us next week.
Really?
How come I haven't heard about that?
There's no way you can communicate with guys like that.
I have absolutely no interest in guys like Fukami.
Why?
He's like a kid. Kind of has that don't come near me attitude about him.
Don't you sound like a kid saying that?
What are you talking about?
Aren't you the same? You couldn't hand in your homework either, Hayase.
I really wanted to hand it in, but I couldn't do it. That's why I couldn't hand it in.
That guy just didn't want to hand it in at all!
I kind of think you're saying it backwards.
Fukami's sense of beauty is great though!
I think so too!
I don't think so. So I don't know.
Hayase! Shouldn't you be going to the library?
You haven't gotten the books you need for the course, have you?
And the guy we were talking about arrives.
Self Portrait…
Got it!
Fukami?
You scared me!
The weather's pretty good this weekend. Let's go to the river.
Look at this.
I have to do my homework! I haven't done any yet!
But you promised we'd go rowing together!
Do you want me to help?
I know but…
The river's really close...
The close one?
Crap. I have to go to work.
The plan's changing? There's no time!
Crap. It's already this late.
You're still here?
We're gonna be in the same class starting next week.
Same group.
Yeah.
It has nothing to do with me, but do you have any siblings?
Why?
Oh right.
Look at this.
It was in this Self Portrait book.
The library slip had your name on it.
Did you drop it?
There's a message on the answering machine.
Aniki? Did you hear me?
Aniki!
It's probably mom anyways.
Then pick up the phone if you know that!
I didn't pick it up because I knew.
What are these?
They're not worth looking at.
How can these things win awards?
We handed in ours, but we all lost.
I guess it's my turn then.
What kind of stupid things are you saying? You don't stand a chance.
Did this one lose too?
Which one?
This one won an award.
It seems like it won some really big award.
It's taken beautifully! It looks great!
It really moves a person.
Who took it?
Don't think it's anyone from our school.
No-bo-ru Fu-ka-mi.
How do you want me to say it before you can understand?
Only idiots need the same thing repeated over and over.
What you’ve handed in is a joke!
I'm not joking.
Not joking? What you've done has nothing to do with the topic from class!
You're messing with me, aren't you?
I'm not messing with you.
You obviously are!
Your attitude shows it!
The only thing I want to photograph now is this.
If this doesn't work, there's nothing else.
What are you talking about? Nothing else?
Why are you saying there's nothing else?
Stop! I'm not done talking yet!
Whatever. I'm not going to pick your topics anymore! Does that work?
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
What does nothing mean?
Didn't you say you were going to come rowing with me? I already reserved it!
Sorry! I'm taking Hayase!
A bunch of idiots.
Please be careful.
Got it. Thanks.
Going in.
We're going!
It's dangerous!
It's fun!
This is really fun!
It's fun, isn't it?
Hayase! Don't go too far!
Wait for me!
Hayase!
You can't do it like that! Hayase!
Hayase!
Somebody! Anybody!
Hurry and save him!
Save him!
Someone save him, please!
Hurry and save him!
Fukami.
Why did you save him?
Don't pretend you can't hear me. I just want to know why you saved him.
I don't remember.
This isn't something usual.
You're his lifesaver.
Yesterday was really close.
I really thought Hayase died.
That's what I said when I got the phone call.
Me too!
That's enough! Stop talking about it!
We didn't think that he kissed Fukami by the river though!
It wasn't a kiss! It was mouth to mouth resuscitation!
In meaning, that's deeper than a kiss.
You're jealous, aren't you?
No I'm not!
But Fukami's pretty awesome! Saving you like that!
Don't know.
He kissed you in front of everyone!
How do you feel, Hayase?
I don't remember.
You saw Fukami-kun?
It was kind of surprising. He doesn't seem like someone that drinks.
He was probably just hanging around the pub.
Really? And it seemed there was something weird about him.…
You probably mistook him for someone else.
Maybe.
You're really annoying. What's this about?
We're gonna be late for class.
Welcome.
You're late.
The usual.
Excuse me, check please.
3800 yen. (Translator note: Approximately 35.38 US dollars.)
That guy didn't come today, did he?
You were looking for someone, right?
Hi!
Welcome!
Ryu, ah?
I'm really tired.
Here you go.
That was good.
Another one.
What are you looking at?
Is there something on my face?
Nothing. You just look a lot like a guy I know.
You must know my older brother then.
You have an older brother?
Chug it! Another cup!
This is your sixth cup, Ryu-chan. You should go to the bathroom.
I'm fine.
You guys are really twins, huh?
I knew that Fukami wouldn't come to this kind of store!
This kind of store? What kind of store?
Sorry.
That's my brother, Noboru.
I'm the younger one, Ryu.
Twins, so we look exactly the same.
You drink too! Hey, give him another one!
I really want a twin brother…
Wasn't there a cartoon before?
Made a robot that went to school for him.
There's nothing like that!
He's not a robot.
And my brother's really introverted.
That's right…
My brother's way is impossible.
He always shields himself.
He has his kind times too.
Rarely though.
You've seen my brother be kind?
What kind of relationship do you have with him?
Friends?
No. Can't really say that.
He actually has friends…
You okay?
At first I thought you were really scary.
Thought it'd be really hard to be friends with you. Apparently not.
You're awesome!
Ok! Let's go have another round then!
I'm okay! I can go!
You're not bad!
I'm only a section leader now, but I'll be the boss!
Where are you going?
You bastard!
Let's go!
Stop!
Listen! Actually, I'm American!
Let's go.
Ow.
You're really useless.
Don't run so far so suddenly.
How is it?
I don't really know. It hurts a lot.
Kind of want to throw up.
Get on.
Idiot! How embarrassing is that?
How old do you think I am?
Then I'm leaving.
W-wait!
That section leader!
What section leader?
I haven't run this hard in awhile!
At this age, it's like entering a sports competition.
Your muscles will hurt tomorrow!
You'll pull a muscle or a tendon.
That's pretty good.
You guys use the same shampoo?
The smell of your hair. It's the same as Noboru's.
You're really odd.
Odd?
Really.
Stop smelling me!
Really odd?
It is really weird!
I told you to stop smelling me!
Stop it! It tickles!
You're still here?
This camera! How nostalgic…
What's with him?
What are you looking at?
Is there something on my face?
I just wanted to thank you for that time at the river.
It's thanks to you that I'm alive.
Take care of yourself.
Take me along if you go to something that might involve drowning.
I'll save you this time.
I haven't finished homework.
I've been scolded by Mr. Glasses too.
He sucks, doesn't he?
If you want to, let's go to the studio together!
I actually want to ask for your help.
Don't use Noboru so lightly.
Sorry.
Name doesn't really matter though. We'll be in the same group soon.
I made a plan.
You've met Ryu, right?
Ran into him at the pub.
You guys are twins, huh?
At first I thought that was Fukami. It scared me!
Don't get too close to Ryu.
He'll drag you down.
I'll thank you properly next time!
I mean, you're my lifesaver!
Why did you tell him to stay away from me?
Aniki. Do I really annoy you that much?
Get out.
Hayase!
You're here already?
Can I come to your house for hot pot?
It'll be good.
(Nine at the usual pub. Ryu.)
How about spicy hot pot?
Hayase, are you listening?
Sorry. Something came up tonight, so I can't go.
Wait! Hayase!
What's with you? You haven't drunk anything yet.
Can I ask you something?
First drink up.
If you don't drink I won't answer it.
I'm jealous of Noboru.
He has a guy like you by his side.
There's nothing like that.
I'm always thought Aniki's really lucky.
It's not like that!
Ryu's pretty lucky too, aren't you?
You're pretty popular, right?
Don't you have a girlfriend?
Nope…
Come chase me!
Slow down!
Got you!
That's dangerous!
You drank too much!
Walk properly!
Let's sit here for a second. Snap out of it, will you?
Are you okay?
You're okay, right?
Are you cold?
Or are you hungry?
What are you saying to the cat?
Go to sleep. Good night.
Aniki. How's this camera?
Not bad!
The guy from the camera shop gave it to me.
I told him before that my brother liked to take pictures.
Are you really giving it to me?
Or are you using this to trade something from me?
Using this to trade…
So there is a trade, huh?
Using this to trade lots and lots of pictures from you.
Take pictures of all the beautiful things in the world.
And let me see them, okay?
Ow!
What are you doing?
Sorry!
You're horrible!
Crap, crap.
I'm gonna be late!
It was a bit stupid, but he was on the dot.
That guy has some skills.
Hayase!
You've finally broken the rules.
I've just started! There's still a lot I don't get.
That's not it! We're talking about your being late.
What are you saying?
This is the picture everyone's talking about.
It's so bad! That's really embarrassing.
Excuse me!
When was this taken?
[Idiot] Hayase Kouhei.
Ryu?
Come with me.
Slow down!
Where are you taking me so suddenly?
Wait! Noboru!
Hayase?
What are you doing?
I didn't take those photos!
I know Ryu took them. I was drunk in the park and he took pictures.
But you developed them, right?
Don't call me Noboru so informally.
Those types of photos aren't my style.
I know that! What's with you?
What are you doing so suddenly?
Don't move. I'll retake them for you.
What's going on?
Then I'll take some too.
Why are you taking them too?
Don't take any of me!
Let's have a picture taking contest! Who can get who? Who'll win, who'll lose?
After we develop them we'll decide who's better, and then pick a winner.
Stop joking!
An angry expression! Not bad!
An embarrassed expression. I'll take pictures of ways people have seen you.
It seems I've definitely won.
How am I going to lose to you?
Not bad.
Not a bad expression.
Stop it!
Just you taking them isn't fair! Let me take some!
Smile for me, and I'll smile for you.
I smiled.
What kind of smile is that?
How cute!
Then we'll make rules. A picture, a smile.
What kind of rule is that?
Your turn.
What? Idiot.
It's my turn.
Now it's my turn!
I'm tired.
It was really tiring.
Do you want to come to my place? It's really close.
I'll make you my best curry.
I'm a genius when it comes to it!
Do you want some help?
It's fine. You're a guest! Take a seat!
Why are you taking pictures?
Well, watching Fukami cook isn't something I get to see all the time, is it?
It's not like I'm doing anything anyways! I'll just take a few.
That's dangerous!
What are you doing?
I-I don't know! I suddenly just wanted to.
I'll go get you a Band-Aid!
That's awesome! What is this?
That's really awesome!
Eat it while it's hot.
Itadakimasu!
That's good!
You're a prodigy at making curry!
Who is it at this time?
Coming!
You're already home! Couldn't you just call me?
Thanks for helping out a few days ago.
You wouldn't have hot pot with me, but two grown men are together?
And what's that?
Ah, curry?
Your shoulder's wet.
Did you go near water?
Where are you going?
Stop!
What's that guy doing, charging out like that?
Hayase, where are you going?
I can't explain!
Wait!
You're not.
I was worried about you!
What's with Hayase that idiot?
He's just idly sitting there.
Maybe he can't get past a thought?
Problems in his love life?
It can't be that! You guys heard about the kiss by the river!
If Saori knows, something bad is going to happen!
You want me to study abroad?
I went to our sister school earlier and attended a meeting.
When the teacher there saw your work, he praised it greatly.
I didn't hear anything.
That's why we're telling you now!
What's with your attitude?
He also brought up
despite what you do here
your pictures have something special.
It might be because we didn't get it right.
That's why you should follow our class courses.
Sorry, principal.
You're being flustered by something, aren't you?
If the photographer isn't into it, the pictures will be affected.
Though there is the chance that I'm just thinking too deep into it.
If changing the scenery can help you snap out of it, it'll be good for you too.
Please let me think about it.
Are you thinking about studying abroad?
If you go there, you can be by yourself, right?
(Germany)
(Ryu)
Studying abroad?
You're his younger brother. Didn't he tell you?
I don't know much about things at his school.
He didn't decide whether or not he's going, did he?
That's Germany! Guys with talent have to go.
Do you want to?
What's that mean?
If you're not here, then that guy's all alone!
That's not so bad. He likes being by himself.
I thought you could change him!
What do you want me to do?
I don't have the ability to stop him from going!
If you're worried, then tell him yourself! You're twins, aren't you?
I've already said everything I can.
How did we get to this? Stupid.
Hayase.
Bring some water!
Noboru. Stay by me, okay?
The future doesn't matter.
Get up.
Stand straight.
What's going on?
This band-aid. I helped Noboru put it on.
Why?
Why did you pretend to be Ryu?
Noboru.
I'm not.
I said I'm not!
Noboru!
(Mom)
Hello?
Yes. Noboru left his phone with me.
I'm a fellow college student.
My name's Hayase.
Died? Ryu already died? What's going on?
Ryu! I brought the pictures I took before!
Hayase-kun.
Noboru! Wait!
Noboru!
Wait!
Noboru! Wait!
Wait for me!
Noboru!
Let me go!
Your mom told me about the thing with Ryu.
I killed him.
Ryu! I brought the pictures I took before!
I've always had this sort of jealous hatred towards Ryu.
N-Noboru.
Noboru-kun. It's not what you think.
It was always like that. Ryu always stole what was most important to me.
I'd had enough.
I secretly thought...
That everything would be better if Ryu died.
My wish came true.
My younger brother disappeared from this world.
The brother that annoyed me the most.
But I've always been waiting for Ryu.
Take pictures of all the beautiful things in the world. And let me see them, okay?
Ok.
I killed him!
Stop it!
Stop it…
You're awake?
I've been awake this whole time.
I'm content. Finally found someone who'll take care of him.
Him?
Treasure him.
This guy is really stubborn.
You're Ryu?
Compared to Aniki, I'm better, aren't I?
Ryu.
Not bad! It's a great day!
If you keep walking this slowly we're gonna be late!
I don't want to be scolded by Always Late Hayase.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
I want to see Noboru run!
Hayase!
What?
I'll still be flustered when I take pictures.
Then take one now and see!

Thanks for watching!
