Note: This subtitle is a fix from the available one done directly from Google translate, using the Chinese softsub as reference. I still use Google translate (Chinese-English) for help but with more comprehensive consideration and thought about the meaning of each individual sentences. The translations might not be accurate but deep thought was being put in while translating. So hopefully, everyone will get at least the main idea. ~Valarze~
300 people were killed in the attack
Multi-tenant Building Fire in Shinjuku. 3 Unidentified Dead Men and Women
Not good!
Not good! We'll be late for the morning excercise!
Stop, stop!
What is it?
This house forgot to turn off the tap.
In cold days, this might cause dangerous icing on the road.
Misono, let's be quick!
Wait up, Arashi!
Good morning.
Good morning, do you read it yesterday?
You mean about the basketball?
No!
5, 6, 7, 8...
1, 2...
Misono, you're doing it again?
Ayumi's jacket is Junya Watanabe* right?
Famous fashion brand founded by Japanese designer Junya Watanabe.
I like Rei Kawakubo designs for teenagers.
Famous Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo.
But Junya is not bad...
So, Junya Watanabe, eh...
Collision causing death
What are you sighing at?
I have a lot of things to worry about.
Worry?
Talk to me.
It's fine.
How is it fine?
If there is anything else...
Jun ya
There will be a goukon today..
Goukon = Group dating
I'm counting on you.
Well, I...
So cool...!
I admire Ayumi.
Let's go!
By the way, Arashi...
What?
Can you introduce me to Ayumi?
Please, as your classmate...
But I have not spoken with him at all.
That doesn't matter. Just help me here.
Everyone will die someday.
Where the dead people go,
is a place invisible to our eyes.
It is a different world.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Don't, Grandma, let me...
Why?
What? You're not okay with it?
It's nothing.
I say no need!
Well then, go ahead.
Because when I'm gone, you'll be all alone.
What are you saying?
Grandma you have to stay healthy.
Really?
Young people...
Here we go again.
Young men are full of energy to walk in the path God-given path.
Don't be jealous.
Yes, yes. No envy. No envy, oh...
I'm going back.
Excuse me, Tsuchiya-san.
Can you give me your contact?
Yes.
Really?
Can you use infrared?
Are you Hatada-san?
I've got your message.
I am the connector.
You are the connector?
Yes.
The one that ressurect dead people?
Precisely.
To allow the dead and the living meet one another,
is my job as a connector.
Don't joke with me!
I felt very absurd from the very beginning.
Whether you are a connector...
It's awkward ever since my mom say it from time to time.
How can we meet dead people...
Hey, what's your purpose?
Is it money?
Are you going to rob the old man?
I won't receive any compensation.
I will not rob you.
Give me the name of the person you want to see.
Who do you want to see?
Her name is Hatada Tsuru.
She was my mother until around 1 year ago.
Please tell me why you want to see her?
I want to sell a land,
But I don't know where she put the certificate.
I understand.
Let me explain the rules.
The connector will negotiate with the dead person you asked,
and arrange a meeting with you.
Only the living man commissioned by the connector,
can meet with the deceased for one chance only in a lifetime.
And the named deceased also,
has only one chance to meet with the living.
You each will get one chance.
So?
So...
Please think carefully about who would you like to meet in the other end.
Didn't I say I just want to meet my mother?
I understand.
But say if the deceased refused to meet,
this one chance will be lost.
I see.
So you'll tell me that my mother refused to meet,
then extort me for money, right?
I said I don't want any money.
Don't try to trick me.
Does your parents know you're doing this kind of job?
Do they?
After I negotiate with Hatada Tsuru.
I will contact you.
It seems there is a person called "The Connector",
who can allow us to meet with the deceased.
Sounds interesting!
Misono knows about it, eh...
That kind of interesting people do exist?
It's just an urban legend.
If it does exist, it would be cool.
Misono, what do you think?
I think it's Charlie Chaplin.
Chaplin is really Misono's type eh?
Arashi Misa is really cute, eh...
Really?
Didn't you just saw her?
Oh well,
Nevermind, I'll give Misa to you.
What are you saying?
Misono Natsu is mine.
Are you all right?
I lost the balance on my right foot. I'm alright.
Are you not hurt?
Thank you.
What is it?
Are you... ok?
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
It's all right.
It's all right. It's all right.
Hey, Daichi, come here and lend me a hand.
Really, this kid...
Why didn't you tell us?
If we'd know earlier, then eveyone...
and Grandma will treasure our time together.
Be quite!
Dad, you are a very good advocate.
And grandma...
Wish I had known her true condition earlier.
I'm the eldest son.
I decided where did my mom do wrong.
Hello?
Hatada Tsuru-san has known about the meeting.
She would to quickly decide on the date for the meeting.
Are you saying you've met my mom?
Moonlight and the dead can only meet,
on the 23rd this March as it qualified with full moon.
I get it.
The location is The Bund Hotel Shinagawa.
18:00, it is okay?
No problem.
Then I'll be off.
Grandma did you go to the hospital today?
I sprained my ankle a bit.
But a good person helped me.
Grandma, about this...
This writting is not the same, when was it written?
Our mission is not to convey the messages of the deceased, or to insist on the completion of the meetings.
I don't remember when was it.
But look closely...
If there's something you don't understand, ask.
This Hatada Tsuru-san,
She seems to asked a connector's service 20 years ago.
Is that so?
At that time there was a child with her.
Grandma,
What is it?
Do you really meet dead people?
Do you doubt me?
No.
Really?
Grandma, when did you start being a connector?
When I was married,
My brother passed this ability to me.
Grand-uncle Akiyama?
It's been 50 years.
Fifty years...
For me about to get my married, my brother,
for my safety,
passed the ability to me.
Akiyama and I had always been in contact
Uncle Akiyama was not just a fortune-teller.
Right! Right! Right! Right!
With that place that spend so much money,
Akiyama will be out of the house.
Ayumi, at the hotel,
you should arrange the meeting of the client and the deceased nicely.
I understand.
Also if the inherited ability connector
Imagine yourself not see the kingdom of the dead
Only until you inherit it from me, the connector ability,
I can allow you to meet with the deceased.
Is there anyone you would like to meet?
I would like to meet...
Almost!
Do your best!
This one will go in.
I think parents should all be very gentle people, right?
Oh, you eat curry rice today?
Walnuts.
Ready to jump!
Walnuts
Dad's hands are big.
Mom.
Thank you.
Mother is very good at cooking.
Lunch in our house...
Look...
There is always fried egg rice balls.
I painted us three.
That painting also won a prize in a contest.
My parents were very happy for me.
But my parents...
Mom!
Suddenly, one day...
Leave me behind...
I just want to see my mom and dad...
Just want to know why they left me behind.
How long are you going to stay here?
This place is good for meditation, eh?
Quickly get married and move out!
I'm not against it...
Because of overwork, that kind of humiliatin words came out.
A lack of sleep can make you go blind.
What blind...?
Could it be you,
still cannot forget that woman?
How can I?
It's been seven years.
Seven years...
The child I bear should be in elementary school.
In seven years of marriage, a man can also kills his wife.
What nonsense?
After marriage, in case of the spouse dissappear without explanations,
in seven years, the other party can report it as legal death.
Here.
Thanks.
You should see the reality more clearly.
You're being fooled by that woman.
Chekhov 's "The Cherry Orchard".
Who would like to apply for this role protagonist Ranevskaya?
Yes.
Arashi.
Yes.
Misono.
After the senior graduate,
I also want to perform on stage.
Misono, your words...
Rather than Ranevskaya, you are more suited for the role as Anya.
Whether I can or not, at least I participate.
My mother told me,
"Compared to regret doing nothing,"
"it's better to do it, try again, then regret."
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because as your rival it will feel very awkward.
Rival?
If not then I'll leave nicely.
Afterlife...
Does it really exist?
Excuse me,
Are you Hatada Tsuru-san?
Yes.
Sorry to trouble you.
It's been a while since I wear kimono.
Is it not strange?
No.
I never expect,
that this time, I was the one being summoned.
Please .
Thank you.
I heard that you once requested a meeting with a deceased when you were alive.
Yes, about that, really thank you.
You're welcome.
But,
after my death,
some people still want to see my face.
It seems my life is still valuable to them.
Excuse me,
What is it?
Someone wants to see you.
Are you happy about that?
Of course.
Cannot be happier than this.
Thanks for waiting.
Are you implying that my mom will come to this place?
She's already here.
Already?
Yes.
You can't fool me that easily.
What?
I did not spend any money , but to be in such good place...
The loss would be in your side.
You don't have to worry about this.
I really don't charge you any money.
Not charging any money?
Then where did you get the money for this?
Connector is indeed my job.
but quite similar to volunteer work.
Volunteer?
Yes.
Is it really fun to deceive adults?
Do your parents know?
I don't have any parents.
What?
They died when I was small.
Sorry.
Tsuru-san is in room 901.
I'll wait at the lobby until you both finished your meeting.
After you're done, please call me.
You only have this short night to meet with Tsuru-san.
Although I do not know what are you scheming,
but I'm not that easy to fool.
It can't be true...
Are you really my mother?
Stop talking nonsense. Come on in.
It's because you asked, I was called here.
What a worthless little boy.
I called you not because I miss you.
It's because I don't know where the land certificate is.
Are you really my mother?
This is too incredible.
Come.
Eh?
Come sit here nicely.
Yasuhiko...
Think about it...
Mom still looks like as she was alive.
Don't say like that.
In fact, you know...
where the land certificate is.
In the end, why would you want to see me?
Mom...
When you were alive, were you aware of your sickness?
I...
Never had the courage to tell you...
I am sorry.
So it's about this, eh?
What's about this?
I know that you did not tell me for my sake.
Though your mouth is stupid and you're so stubborn,
But you always thinks of others.
But...
If you knew about your condition earlier,
the final journey of your life would be different.
I've been happy enough.
What?
Having children and grandchildren,
My life is really happy.
You've been very upset, right?
You alone bearing the burden...
I don't blame you, even a bit.
Because it is something you decide,
So I have no regrets.
Mom...
You look unpromising.
I'm not embarrassed to tell you.
In fact, I'm going to talk all out.
What is it?
Since he was small, Daichi was closest with his grandma.
Mom , after you were gone,
he look at everyone as strangers.
There is a thing I have not told you.
20 years ago, I met your dad through a connector.
My dad?
I wanted to meet the old man as I want to see the newborn baby.
I took Daichi to see him.
Your dad, he...
to be able to see his grandchild from above, he's very happy.
He cried.
Seeing him like that, I felt I've made the right decision.
But this kid is not so smart.
I don't understand what's going on in his head.
But, in any case,
your father and I are proud of such grandson.
Although he's not that strong,
but unlike you, he's not bad at talking.
He understand the worldly wisdom well.
Is that so?
He's the same as you, willing to help others.
He inherited our Hatada genes,
inherited it from the excellent first son of Hatada.
You have to take the initiative to communicate with him.
Think about his growth.
Do not forget that you are also a parent.
Yes.
Thank you for calling me.
Send my regards to everyone.
Mom...
Here...
Thank you.
I almost got fooled,
made me think was it really my mom?
It was a good meeting.
Really?
Yes.
Thank you.
I can't take your money.
No.
If you need anything,
feel free to contact me.
Okay.
Thank you.
I thank you.
Grandma is great.
What?
The original connector is the real deal eh...
Those are quite some harsh words...
Don't you know him? Hatada-san?
After the meeting he actually said thanks to me.
Isn't it a good thing?
Tsuru-san will be able to rest in peace without any regrets.
Oh really?
This connector work is not that bad.
But I always feel,
this work cannot help all the people that seek our help.
Why?
After all the connector is Akiyama family's power from generation to generation.
Along this lives, we've encountered all sorts of people.
I'm digging in.
Is that so?
Now you,
slowly and gradually,
accumulate the neccessary experiences to be a connector.
There are still many things,
I haven't told you about.
Really , still so many...
A person in love,
God in heaven, we're sinful.
Of course
God in heaven, we're sinful.
I think you are particularly suited to play Ranevskaya.
You would definitely pass the selection.
No matter how hard...
Compared to me...
Again...
Really?
She will shine on the stage.
Shine very bright.
You need some confidence.
What are you staring at?
Ah, let me ask, who is the person you would like to see the most now?
Well...
Future girlfriend...
Hello.
I really thank you for last time.
You're welcome.
May I sit next to you?
Yes.
If I eat my snack here,
I might be scolded.
Would you like some?
Well then, I'll have some.
Oh, do it quitely.
It's going to rain.
Err...
Last time you asked whether I was okay...
What does it mean?
Not really. I feel you have something in your mind.
Don't you have someone you really want to meet?
Eh?
Stop!
Please use your heart to forgive me.
Dance with me now.
Gayev!
Please talk to me, Gayev!
Say it quick!
I've bought the cherry orchard.
No! No!
No!
Anya is played by Kato.
Yes!
Protagonist Ranevskaya is played by...
Misono Natsuko.
What?
Sorry, please prepare supper and make tea with these.
Grandma.
What is it?
How did you meet the dead people?
Why do you ask all of a sudden?
Nothing. I just wanted to ask.
What is it?
This is a mirror.
The one with this mirror can be a connector.
No! No! You cannot see yet!
Connectors use this to call upon the deceased.
Only the owner of the mirror,
can do so.
While the new connector is learning,
they set contract with this mirror.
By that time, the person with the original contract,
lost his qualification as a connector.
It's like passing a baton between connectors?
Baton: The stick being passed during relay race.
Moreover,
absolutely, no one can ever take a look at this mirror.
If someone else see it,
the one who sees the mirror and the owner of the mirror,
will both die.
You will die?
How would you die?
I don't know about it, but it must be very painful.
How scary.
Ayumi if you replace my role as a connector,
giving this mirror to you is my final job.
Today I gave your number to someone.
My Cherry Orchard,
across the dark gloomy autumn and winter,
you're full of vigor filled with happiness...
Misono, you really don't get the emotions.
I'm sorry.
Again!
Yes.
My Cherry Orchard,
One, two, three! One, two, three!
All right! Take a 10 minutes break.
Yes.
Hey, Arashi...
What is it?
I have something to say...
I want to apologize to you.
You and I are now like this...
Why are you apologizing?
Obviously, your not thinking like that.
Don't take me for a fool!
If it not because of Misono, the main role would be mine.
No matter how hard cannot compared to me...
This house forgot to turn off the tap.
In cold days, this might cause dangerous icing on the road.
Good morning.
It seems to be true...
It can't be...
Really?
Good morning.
Arashi...
Misono got into an accident and was put in the hospital.
What?
Can you please let me see Misono?
Misono...
Sorry...
Because she was hit by a car, we cannot let you see her.
But,
when she was talking in the hospital...
"Arashi, why?" was what she said.
Arashi, do you know what this means?
I don't know!
It's just, there was a slight conflict for the acting part.
Maybe that's why.
Please excuse me.
When life and death are connected,
everything will be destroyed
The sun is setting, everyone...
Did you kill Misono?
You killed her right?
You're the worst.
It's all your fault.
Murderer! Murderer!
You both are friends.
Aren't you both friends?
"Arashi, why?" was what she said.
It seems there is a person called "The Connector".
Maybe Misono knows what I've done.
If what Misono and the others said...
If what Misono and the others said about the connector...
Mr. Tsuchiya, isn't it?
Yes.
Well,
Is it possible if it a missing person?
What?
The one I would like to see is...
my missing fiancée from seven years ago.
What happened?
Her name is Hinata Kirari.
She and I met nine years ago.
Are you okay?
It's bleeding.
Thank you.
It's better if you lie down.
It hurts.
I don't want to lie down. I want to stand up.
Sorry.
Are you with her?
No.
Can you accompany me?
Yes.
Our meeting was wonderful.
I'm sorry.
No. It's okay.
Yes.
Eh, well...
Can you give me your name and your contact details?
I would like to thank you properly.
I came from a village, so I really don't know about Tokyo.
You actually came to Tokyo.
Yes. Therefore, I really thank you.
I don't know anyone here.
How old are you?
Twenty years old.
I would like to work in Tokyo, so I came here.
Ah, it's like that...
But to be able to eat togther with Mr. Tsuchiya makes me happy.
Mr. Tsuchiya seems like a city-guy.
City-guy? Me?
I really like how you look.
Thank you.
Before our meeting, Kirari was a different.
This is to thank you.
Well, let's share it equally.
No. I really want to thank you.
Can you lend me three hundred yen?
After a few dates,
So good!
This is the first time I ate something this good.
You're lying, right?
Kirari came to my house frequently.
Here.
I've got my wages from work.
Because money is very important,
Here.
I am hopelessly in love with Kirari.
Let's go.
Don't want to...
Don't want to?
Push me.
Ah... It's too big..
Thank you.
Not long after my marriage proposal...
Be careful.
After she left home, saying she's going travel with her friend,
she never came back.
My calls won't get through.
I was so worried and contacted her workplace.
The friend that supposed to go with her picked up the phone.
I told her workplace that this is a special circumstances,
to check on her address in her resume.
That address is a fake.
It's...
I might have been fooled by her.
But...
Her expression as I proposed our marriage...
I don't think it's a lie or act.
She lied to me afterwards.
If she's alive and well, then it's good enough.
But if she got into accidents or troubles...
I get it.
This may take some time,
But I accept your request.
Please.
This world and the problems are linked together.
It is really a big job.
The person he wants to meet is a missing person.
Ohh...
Her name is Hinata Kirari.
I see.
But using a connector to find her,
she should be already dead, right?
Yes.
Either I find her or not,
for the living person, it's a huge blow for him.
It's not good if you don't eat the konjac.
What is the most powerful ability in this world?
It is a pleasure while being old and thinking of working, I can choose to rest.
When thinking of saying something,
stay quiet.
Yes, quiet.
By the way do you know Arashi Misa?
We're in the same class.
She called this evening.
I received the call.
She is looking for a connector.
What?
I want you to do the middleman.
But I...
This is an opportunity.
Fortunately, I was home.
Fortunately, I picked up the phone.
It's just happened to be that way.
Some people called so many times and cannot go through.
Only those who in real need of a connector,
have such a fate.
Isn't it unfair?
Err... Well, yes, unfair...
Ara-san...
What is it?
I am the connector.
Here.
Thank you.
Your coat is Junya Watanabe's.
You know it well.
But in my teenage year, I still like the design of Kawakubo Rei.
Well...
Even through a connector,
the chances that the living and the dead can meet is just once, right?
Also, even I really wanted to meet her, she might refused as well, right?
What you just said is correct.
Ah, well...
So, who would you like to meet?
Misono Natsu.
She died because of traffic accident of her way to school.
Do you know?
Why do you want to see her?
Because we are good friends!
If allowed, I would like to see her again.
I'd like to tell her one or two things.
It's all so sudden.
Obviously we are good friends, ok?
All right.
To die in the same age as you is so pitiful.
Yes, it is pitiful.
But although people around us left,
there is no feeling.
Perhaps it is because we're not used to it?
But it's too cruel, isn't it?
It's a bit cruel.
But having said again, for other people, death is slow.
Like wanting to avoid it.
My Cherry Orchard.
Across the dark gloomy autumn and winter.
You're full of vigor filled with happiness.
If my heart and shoulders are removed,
I have forgotten my clean past.
The lines are interpreted perfectly.
Misono would be very happy.
How so?
If she sees you, she'll praise you.
As happy as you praise yourself.
I don't think so...
If you want, you can take and wear this.
But,
I think that child will be happy.
Thank you.
Actually,
It's me who persuaded her to go for the lead role.
When I was young, I experienced the same thing.
Regret.
So,
I can't do nothing about this regret.
Better do something than regret it.
She's actually can't be resisted.
It's all my fault you all feel so unpleasant.
I am sorry...
I thought Misono doesn't want me to play.
Not at all.
I,
heard Misono say it before the audition.
She said I can not be compared,
She said while laughing, and people around are laughing too.
We're not good friends to begin with.
Both she and I have bad popularity.
Selfish and tempramental.
I think Misono will say those kind of words.
You might mistaken her as someone else.
She herself claimed she can't be compared to you.
You must have gotten it wrong.
Hello?
Misono said she wants to see you.
Eh?
Grand-uncle...
Is she alright?
Only minor seizures. She's asleep now.
Is that so...
You are old enough.
You have to keep up you learning.
I am.
What are you learning?
Of course, those stuff being taught at school.
Right, right...
If you're not studying well,
everyone will be worried.
Everyone?
Me, Aiko...
That's everyone...
Grand-uncle...
How did my parents really died?
Did he really killed mother and committed suicide?
That's just a rumor.
The truth that nobody knows.
Your parents were good people.
Then why are they taken from me?
Ayumi...
What you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth.
The important thing is,
see it with your heart.
Using my heart?
Use your own heart.
Like this.
To see the true important things.
Being a connector,
does thing goes smoothly?
I don't know whether it's smooth or not.
Aiko loves to learn by herself.
Grandma.
Ayumi.
Brother.
I received a phone call saying you're sick.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
No trouble at all.
Don't overexerted yourself.
Have some rest.
I'll be fine.
Here.
Misono's already here?
Yes.
Your meeting time is until dawn.
After you're done, come and see me.
Is it okay if it is just me?
Yes
What does Misono think of me?
Misono knows that I killed her.
Yet she took the chance from the connector,
to see me.
No use regretting.
Better to do it then regret.
You lost weight.
Please come in.
Ayumi being the connector is surely incredible, right?
I do not expect us to meet this way, but it's kinda sad.
But now being able to talk face-to-face is exciting.
Is that so?
Hei, Arashi.
You and Ayumi contacted each other and talked...
Did you guys exchange phone numbers?
Of course.
But I told him nothing.
I don't have his phone number.
How nice...
Have you talked with Ayumi?
A little bit.
Why?
Hei, Misono...
What?
I heard when you were in the hospital, you called my name.
"Why, Arashi?"
Do you remember?
I don't remember...
Must be because I was arguing with you.
I've been thinking about things you're doing.
Misono she didn't know what I've done.
Unaware of me wanting to kill her.
Why?
Why did you agree to see me?
Aren't we good friends?
Is that so...
Yeah.
My good friend...
By now the truth is unspeakable...
That would be hurtful for her.
I'm sorry...
Misono...
I...
I'm sorry...
What happened, Arashi?
I'm sorry...
Why?
I'm sorry...
Why?
I'm sorry...
Arashi!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry....
Misono...
Can you please ask Ayumi,
is there a message?
What message?
For me...
After you asked him...
Remember to tell me next time...
I understand...
Then...
We'll meet again.
Eh? Don't you have a little bit more time?
Misono said she doesn't want me to see her dissappear.
Is that so...
Misono wants me,
to ask you,
if there is a message.
We've made an appoinment.
When I see her, I should have said it.
She said there was no icing on the road.
What?
Misono wants me to tell you,
after the end of today's meeting.
If you ask me about the message,
then this is it.
If you don't ask, I'll forget it.
That is...
Whatever I'm doing, she knows...
But she didn't bring it up with me...
She avoided that awful matter.
Just leaving a message...
Just after I can't say anything out, she tells me...
Ara-san...
Are you okay?
Ara-san...
Let me go!
Ara-san...
Please let me go to Misono!
You can't! It's only once!
Please!
I beg you!
Misono gave me the opportunity to reconcile.
I ruined it!
Misono wanted to see...
Who she really wanted to see is not me!
Ara-san, are you okay?
Please, I want to go to Misono!
And be at her side when she dissapear!
I beg you!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
Misono!
Ayumi-kun?
The one before was my grandma.
So surprising!
I never expected to see you after I died.
Me too.
I'm sorry...
Sorry, you don't want to see you friend?
No!
My bad...
Why am I crying?
I just...
feel very happy.
Right, Ara-san wants to see you.
You've meet Arashi?
Yes.
That's right.
There are some things I'd like to talk to her.
She said both of you are best friend so you two should meet up.
Is that so?
Ayumi-kun...
What is it?
I...
What will happen after this?
Eh?
Sorry.
No.
I will dissappear, right?
Ayumi, you have to live your life without regrets.
Perhaps I can only say so.
To do what you want to do is best when you're still alive.
I don't want to regret now.
It's time for me to sent in Arashi.
Ayumi-kun.
What is it?
I...
I always felt that Ayumi-kun...
It's...
Your coat is so cool.
From the very beginning, I think it's cool, so I kept my eyes on you.
For example, when all walked in the morning.
Thank you.
I finally said it. It feels good.
This coat is Junya Watanabe's, right?
Yes.
Although I prefer Rei Kawakubo Teenagers' one...
But looking at you wearing Junya Watanabe's seems not bad.
I always want to say it directly.
You and Ara-san said the same thing.
Eh?
Because you are good friends...
Arashi...
already said it?
So in the end,
After my death,
she said those things?
When she came to me about seeing you,
she told me.
Ayumi-kun,
I want to ask you a favor.
Okay.
Can you help me,
with a message?
In the end, what does that mean?
After Misono's meeting with Ara-san.
I felt very sorry.
Can I meet someone,
and regret it.
Who would have known.
There are secrets you can't tell other people.
Becoming a connector is tiring.
It's a loss on my side.
A connector has to face somebody else's life.
Don't do it half-heartedly.
So much thing you haven't told me, no wonder I got tired of it.
If you don't want it, then don't inherit it.
After the end of next meeting,
decide whether you want to inherit it or not.
Then I can ask you the person you wanted to see.
Grandma.
Yes?
Do you want to she Dad?
That's up to you.
Let us go.
Where are we going?
You and I are going to meet a deceased.
Deceased?
Teruko...
...Teruko
Kirari-san...
Good evening, Kuwamoto Teruko-san.
Kuwamoto...
Tsuchiya Koichi wants to meet you.
Have you decided yet?
If I meet him,
my self living in his heart will die.
But,
It doesn't matter if I've forgotten.
Even so,
I want to see him...
In order to allow him,
to move on.
I understand.
Grandma, Kirari-san...
Her real name is Kuwamoto Teruko.
She died in a ferry accident seven years ago.
So that's it...
How does it feel?
What?
Talking with the dead.
I feel...
It's not like calling the soul of the deceased.
Instead, I think like the remains of this world.
Or a collection of humans' memories.
I also have that feeling.
Using this mirror to call the deceased.
In the end, it's not real.
I still do not know.
But with that, a connector still have a meaning.
In fact, dead people simply have no soul...
but live peacefully in another world.
To be able to meet them, is the wish of the living people.
Those who are confused.
Always hoping there will be God, or some particular person,
to guide their path in life.
Are you saying that connectors exist for that purpose?
Isn't that desecration to the dead?
Do the dead and the living coexist?
Therefore my parents would be alive.
Some people said so, and some do not.
It is.
Because I...
Mom and Dad...
The pressure of Grandpa against their marriage...
But they both are dead now.
Because of that...
The originally eloped to get married and eventually kill each other
His father's shouldn't be resting in peace.
Seems like Ryosuke is engaged in an affair.
Someone have seen them.
He was in a hotel Touxing.
Mom and Dad rumors about having affair is frustrating.
They keep on arguing.
Dad killed Mom.
And then committed suicide.
Hello, it's Tsuchiya.
Well..
What's the matter?
She wants to see you.
What?
Hinata Kirari-san
She wants to see you.
Her real name is Kuwamoto Teruko-san.
Seven years ago, she had an accident on a ferry ride,
and she died.
Kirari...
She's already dead?
I'm very sorry.
This is the only thing I get.
Are you looking forward,
to see Mr. Tsuchiya?
The only thing I can do that for him now,
is through you.
To see him.
And...
Finally, I would also like to say goodbye, to Mr. Tsuchiya.
I understand.
The number you're dialing is turned off.
How could this be...
This is really troublesome, eh...
Grandma, what should I do?
Even asking me is useless.
He should be nearby.
We can only wait for him to come.
If he doesn't come today, you will regret it lifetime.
Grandma, it doesn't matter.
What?
Even if you regret it does not matter.
I don't want to regret it.
I don't really know,
whether letting the dead and living meet is right or wrong.
Even so...
As long as there is a chance,
Not here.
Ayumi-kun?
Arashi-san?
What happened?
Just a little something...
There will be a public performance from the drama department after the graduation ceremony. Come and see it.
This is for you.
Arashi-san...
Do you regret meeting Misono?
I don't regret meeting her.
Thank you.
Let's go, Mr. Tsuchiya.
She is waiting for you.
Sorry.
I'm scared.
Hirari-san...
is just as afraid as you are.
You have to see her.
If you don't, you'll regret it.
But,
Some people, just because...
they cannot convey their thought for the dead,
it became the burden for all their lives.
How painful.
I have seen it.
You don't want to repeat the same mistake.
But, I...
In any case I cannot accept the fact that she is dead.
Uncle, don't be stubborn!
There is still some time.
Have you ever consider her feeling while waiting for you right now?
For her.
For Hirari-san, today is the only day.
Hirari-san...
She knows that you have waited seven years.
She wanted to see you.
Even you have forgotten her when you meet her, that's fine.
Because she wants you to look ahead.
She..
She's the one in most pain.
Please go and see her.
Please.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Mr. Tsuchiya.
Hirari...
I clearly told you to be careful.
I am sorry.
When we met, I was 18 years old.
I see...
Because I hate to stay in Kumamoto countryside, I ran off to Tokyo.
But in here I'm lost.
I want to quickly find a job.
Are you okay?
That's when I met you.
To lie to you...
I'm really sorry...
It doesn't matter anymore.
I've had already decided,
to tell you everything.
Thinking next time I can speak it out.
That day,
you were ready to go home to see your parents.
You told me,
when I thought of my parents, I seemed really happy.
Be careful on your way.
So I think before you go to my house,
I should apologize for running from home.
I want to show them the ring you gave me.
Tell them that I'm going to marry the good man Mr. Tsuchiya.
Show off to them.
Such a thing.
I,
would like to tell you in our first meeting.
Because you saved me,
I don't want to hate you.
If I had not met you,
I am sure that I would've been in the trade market.
But thanks to you I did not fall.
Thank you.
I...
Cannot do anything for you.
I should've, from the very beginning...
Accept everything about you.
This way you didn't have to go that false travel.
That is my,
happiest moment in life.
Because I really love you,
to hide my own flaws, it's my bad.
It's not like that.
Be happy, ok?
I heard,
you've waited for me for seven years.
I really feel I am a happy person.
Obviously, I did not say,
you should be suffering by yourself for so long.
To fall in love with me and my mouthful of lies...
I thank you.
So please don't wait for me anymore.
Although I...
Really want to get married.
It's because no one wants me.
Nonsense.
It hurts.
Give me that hand.
It's almost time...
Say,
In the closet that you let me use,
there are two layers underneath, do you know?
Inside,
there is an important cookie box,
filled with my mom's knitted hats and stuff.
All those,
can you return them to my parents?
My last request...
I understand.
But, I am sorry.
What?
I didn't leave anything for you.
I want to tell you...
But I didn't want to let you down.
Not to worry.
Sorry, I have nothing to give you.
But, I love you.
I also,
love you.
I really thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm glad I've met Hirari.
I'm sorry for being so rude.
No.
Thanks to you.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Goodbye.
Errr....
Please don't forget Hirari-san.
I will not forget her.
In here,
we will always be together.
Goodbye.
People will die.
Dead people,
where will they go?
It's right in front of us, yet out of our reach.
In a different world.
This world we live in,
whenever we want to do something,
feels like we're being watched.
To make a choice,
we occasionally wonder,
if you are that person, what will you do?
Even hoping to get their blame.
So to survive,
I think we,
have their support,
to be able to continue living.
Delicious.
It's the first time I ate something so delicious.
You're lying.
Really...
Grandma, are you okay?
What do you mean?
You've walked so much.
I still need to do some exercise.
About the connector...
Yes?
I've decided to do it.
Is that right?
Perhaps...
This is my mission.
A man's burden is a god's gift.
Old soul will celebrate their final life experience,
just to go to the true home.
Here.
Ayumi...
There's one thing I want to tell you.
Is it about Dad?
Dad is actually a connector too, right?
Although it's only my guess...
Dad was expelled from Grandpa's house...
For safety.
Grandma, you gave your connector's ability to Dad.
The side note on the notebook was written by Dad.
As rumors say,
Dad was together with a woman in a hotel.
But in fact, he's doing a connector's job, right?
You're right...
I once had,
transferred my connector's ability to Ryosuke.
It's my fault.
I...
killed...
your parents...
When transferring the ability,
I warned him.
You can't mention it to your family or anyone else.
I should have allowed Ryosuke,
to tell Kasumi about it nicely and clearly.
About the connector thing,
give a good explanation to her.
Then Kasumi shouldn't be doubting Ryosuke.
Kasumi...
also cannot look at the mirror.
The two people wouldn't be dead.
I do not know exactly what happened...
But it clearly is painful.
Ayumi, I know,
someday,
I must confess to you.
Grandma...
I'm sorry, Ayumi.
It's my fault...
I'm sorry...
Grandma...
Maybe Dad,
had told about the connector to mom.
Even if you prohibited that,
Dad would confess to Mom.
But Dad...
doesn't want mom to worry.
But for her to see the mirror and died is a mystery.
After grandpa passed away,
Dad deeply regret that he didn't have good term with Grandpa.
Looking at Mom and Dad in such a difficulties,
feels like they're getting married for their own sake.
So I always wanted to help Dad.
Mom is thinking the same thing,
for Dad.
To let Dad,
to see Grandpa again.
Mom trusted Dad.
Both of them,
are the most kind-hearted people.
Ok.
Go for it!
Be sure to score!
To cheer me...
Always supported me...
So...
It is not Grandma's fault.
Perhaps it is just my self-righteous and my selfishness.
But,
even so,
I still long for,
the story of the deceased to be helpful to the living.
Whatever the truth.
I wish my closest Grandma to never tremble again.
No, don't you go!
I beg you to stay here for my salvation.
I beg you, do not go!
Living people,
are oblige to bear other people's dead.
My life,
my youth, my happiness.
Farewell...
Mom!
I...
will go now.
Let the dead people become the benefit for the living's existence.
Because one's life cannot be stopped, it's not his power.
About Grandma,
I'm sorry.
I'm going...
I'm going!
Living person,
always acts recklessly.
Ok...
But only acts recklessly.
Coming...
Even though,
they become sad again,
reckless again.
That's why.
I cannot see my parents.
Why?
I want to save this opportunity to see Grandma in the future.
What a waste.
This is just the beginning of your life.
Although it's still early,
when I have to transfer my connector's ability to someone,
in that time, I will let him see Grandma.
But by that time,
I might also stumble against Grandpa along the way.
I haven't even stumbled upon him.
Say no more, okay?
I know...
Ayumi, 7 years old...
This is...
Your Grandpa kept this very carefully.
Grandpa did?
He's so happy and show it off to the neighbors.
Memories of Summer Children's Painting Competition
Said that his is his grandson.
Is that so?
Let's begin.
Put out your hand,
Ok.
Close your eyes until I say you can open them.
Is your mind clear?
Grandma, so all this time has come to this?
Well, then close your eyes.
Mom! Dad! Come here!
Hey, Ayumi!
That time when the person I love disappeared from me...
In fact, I just cannot see it.
They are still here with me.
It's okay now, Ayumi.
What is the most powerful ability in the world?
It is the pleasure to be old.
When I think of working, I can choose to rest.
When I think of talking, I can stay quiet.
Only in despair, there is hope.
Only those who obedience and calm can cross.
Young people are full of energy.
Walk in the path given by God and don't be jealous.
Wanting to do something for someone else,
is better than sincerely accepting kindness from others.
Until the old can no longer do something for others,
be a good man.
A man's burden is a god's gift.
Old soul will celebrate their final life experience,
just to go to the true home.
