I was just wondering for awhile
about why I really wanted to see a movie I had no interest in.
I guess I just
wanted to go see something with you.
After learning a bit more about my old self,
I feel like I've taken a little step forward.
You are.
Do you really believe that you can make my sister happy?
It's a bit sudden, but we're having a small reunion.
- This is everyone? - One more is coming.
Oh, who?
I think you should let her come back home.
That's for Kanako to decide.
I don't want her to make the same mistake again.
To be honest, I was against this.
When she said she was marrying you.
My sister had a much better partner before.
Sorry. I'm late.
Now, more than ever,
I think she should have
been with that man.
- How long were you in America? - Seven years.
Really? That's the top of the class for you.
So you must know a lot of blond girls.
We haven't told anyone you don't have your memories.
I see.
Everyone would probably talk about that. It'd be a bother.
Thanks.
- So are you going back then? - No, it's my big return home.
- The Tokyo office called me back in. - A promotion eh?
I thought you fell off the career track.
Sorry.
Hey Toda, you've gotten old!
Stop looking like you hope something is going to happen.
What? Nothing's going to happen.
It's been so many years since we graduated.
Meeting again after so many years?
They say history repeats itself.
What are you saying?
I'm surprised you didn't go out when you were in school.
- Stop talking about the past already. - This is the place to do it.
Stop digging up all these finished stories.
So this is where all the beautiful women of Nishi High gather.
- Been awhile since I heard that sarcasm. - It's true.
- You... - Hey, he's got a ring.
- Really! - Is your wife American?
- Japanese. - Boring!
What are you saying?
Ah, and the big fish is out as well.
Who are you calling big fish?
I thought saying that is what made me look so cool.
You've still got your sense of self-confidence.
You're still mean as always.
It's been awhile.
- Say something nice. - Was there anything nice?
- One of my strong points. - You're too much.
Katsura.
Huh?
Can I call you that?
Ah...yeah.
Where do you want to go next time?
Aquarium? Everyone does it though.
Yeah, okay.
Sis isn't back home yet?
She sent a message saying the reunion would go late.
Hey.
I haven't seen you smile in awhile.
I don't like this! If there's some problem, just tell me.
I don't have time to think about things like that.
So I see you got married.
- What do you mean by that? - It's a good thing.
I think it was good for us to break up.
Yeah, I guess so.
Here here. Yamashita from Chemistry.
So, whose boat is the sailor...are you listening Nonomura?
It's like the classroom at recess. Even after 18 years.
It'll probably be the same in fifty. We all have the same memories.
Yeah, probably.
- Kanako. - Yes?
You came to the reunion without your ring.
- Thought something would happen? - No.
I was invited all of a sudden.
How is your husband?
He's a nice guy.
- Good evening. - Ah, good evening.
This came this afternoon for your wife.
Ah, sorry. Thank you!
How is she? I haven't seen her recently...
- Really? She's great. - Oh?
- Doing fantastic. Perfect in face. - I see...
She's great. Thanks for the package. See you.
Okay everyone, time to go! I know you're drunk, get moving!
Kazuya, where are you staying now?
I'm back at my parents' for now. I'm going to take a taxi back home.
You should take Kanako with you. You're back home too, right?
Is that so? I'll take you then.
Ah...okay.
- Why aren't you going to your place? - Huh?
You're going to let me stay back at your place?
No! How should I say...
Seeing my parents? Do that every once in awhile.
Really?
Really.
- Ah, it's okay. - No, I insist.
It's fine. Put it in your secret savings.
Well then, thanks for offering.
Kanako.
I wonder if that place is still open, Maruoka Cafeteria.
I wonder? I haven't been there in awhile either.
Talking with you, I feel like going there again.
- We did go a lot. - Then, sometime.
- Good night. - Night.
- I'm back. - Welcome home.
How was the reunion?
Fun. Saw a lot of old faces.
Who went?
Uh...Mio, Mayuko and Mikie.
That's about all the names you'd know.
Huh?
My phone...
I'm going.
Proposing to You, Once Again

Good morning. Sorry sorry.
- I want to see my niece again. - That's enough about her.
Where's the updated estimate on yesterday's sedan?
Have you seen the updated estimate on yesterday's sedan?
- Yes, here. - Thanks.
Thank you Kawasaki.
- What happened last night? - You haven't heard anything?
No. But this is definitely a fight.
Ah, the workplace is hell when they're together like this.
- Let's go Shindo. - Let's.
All right, I'm going to make my rounds.
- Hey, wait... - Goodbye.
- See you. - Bye.
- Katsura. - Yes?
Let me see your hand.
Ah, okay.
- Not quite yet. - Huh?
Still too beautiful. Need to get some dirt in those fingernails.
Then you can get proud of your work.
- Yes. - Then...
Can I give you my work schedule for today?
- Really? - It might be time for you to graduate from being my assistant.
- It's just an oil change and inspection. - That's fine.
Okay. Go get Shindo.
I can do it alone!
An important part of being the boss is to teach your subordinates.
Understood.
- Do your best. - I will!
A bit more.
Okay, stop.
Kanako-san, phone call.
For me?
From a man.
Hello, this is Kanako.
Kazuya?
You forgot your phone in the taxi.
Should I come and drop it off now?
No, that's too much trouble...
Then, I can meet you at the station. It's almost lunch time.
Okay, later then.
- New boyfriend? - Huh?
You guys sounded very familiar.
I won't tell your husband.
What are you saying?
- Hey. - Huh?
Well, there's always that route.
- So serious, Tachibana-kun. - Haha.
Nothing to laugh about!
- Here it is. - Thanks for bringing it over.
- It's okay. I was working nearby. - You really helped me out.
- Ah... - Oh, a message?
Yeah.
From my husband.
Why do you sound like that?
Hmm...
Hmm?
- You ate the fish? - Yeah.
- I only have plum! - You're so whiny.
Whiny! You...
- Oh. - Oh?
- It's Kanako-san. - Oh, where?
That café window.
Ah! That's my first time seeing her.
Looks like a kind, beautiful person. Different than someone I know.
- What!? - Who is she with?
Don't know...
So you really don't have any memories?
Really.
I see. That must be tough.
That's why you're living with your family.
Yeah.
I see.
What?
Well...
Now that I hear this.
I've been keeping a secret that I feel bad about.
A secret?
I got divorced.
Huh?
I put on a little show for everyone yesterday.
I see.
Is that why you came back to Japan?
Well, that's one reason I guess.
The job transfer was in the works for awhile.
Well, I didn't mean to keep it a secret.
You looked happy about your marriage so
there wasn't a good chance to talk about it.
What are you saying?
You want me to say I'm unhappy now then?
You don't look unhappy at all.
Huh?
You said your husband is a nice guy. I think that's true.
I can tell when you're lying.
We went out for awhile.
Yeah.
I'm going to lunch.
- See you. - See you.
Haven't made up yet?
It's very delicate right now.
Okay, let's drink tonight everyone!
Hasunuma-san, that place from before. Rocky?
- It's Rikki. - Yeah, that place.
- It's only Monday. - I feel like drinking tonight.
Drinking is fine, but if we're just going to hear complaints all night...
- So cold... - Let's go?
- Huh? - Let's go.
There are times like this.
Haru.
Miyamoto-san, I've been looking for you.
You don't have to look.
We're all tied by the red string of fate on our finger.
You're always so funny.
- We're all ready for the exam. - Okay.
They should be apologizing to me.
Things just got impossible at home.
They blocked you out then.
- Rocky-kun? Rikki-kun? - It's Rikki.
You're a single guy. What do you know about married couples?
- Now that you mention it... - Shochu on the rocks, Rikki.
Make it a light one. Light.
It's strange.
I'm just sticking up for my daughter's husband, but I get the blame?
Because you stuck up for an unfaithful husband.
- Cheating is terrible. - Well, that's a surprise from you.
Sure, they say every guy cheats once or twice,
but if I got married, I wouldn't cheat.
That's why I won't get married.
- Makes sense. - No it doesn't.
But...
You never know when someone special is going to appear in front of you
- so you can't just stay tied to one person. - You're a horrible man.
I didn't cheat on anyone.
I'd just like everyone to know that first.
You're just making excuses.
So then men are always distracted by others?
There are nights when you kept remembering your old boyfriend.
- Huh? Well... - There are.
- But Haru-san is faithful, right. - Guess so.
You've got a really beautiful wife.
But...you haven't met her.
I haven't. I just saw her today. By the station, right?
Having tea with some guy.
- Wow. - Stupid.
It's okay. I'm sure it was some guy from work.
It's okay. You're much better looking anyway.
I can't imagine Kanako-san ever doing anything like that.
- Don't worry about it. - Chief!
Don't worry!
Let it go.
Don't worry.
Good evening.
It's Kanako. Sorry for not returning your call.
Ah, it's okay.
I had a high school reunion last night.
I left my phone behind.
I see.
What did you call about?
Oh yeah. I got a package addressed to you.
- A package? - Yeah. I'll bring it tomorrow.
Okay. Thanks.
Yeah.
Lucky you got your phone back.
Yeah. A friend of mine gave it to me at lunch today.
A friend?
Mio. She's a friend since middle school.
Ah, I've met her a few times. She was at the wedding.
Really?
Well...
Good night.
Yeah. Good night.
- Are you taking a nap? - Sorry.
I didn't get enough sleep. It's cause of your snoring!
- It was that bad? - You can't stay over tonight.
- I'm sorry! - Seriously.
- Hasunuma-san... - Guys can't stay at my place.
Man, you guys are pretty cold.
Haru-kun.
Haru.
- Yes. - You're really focused.
- Well, not really. - About tonight...
He's worried about yesterday.
- Is it my fault? - You dealt the finishing blow!
What did I say?
You haven't forgiven him yet?
Huh? Well...
I was never that angry. Did I seem so?
Oh is that right?
Besides, guys say that everyone cheats once or twice.
- Right? - Yes!
But, as a mother,
you have to support your daughter at times like this.
I'll have to push away my husband to support my children for now.
- It's tough. - Huh...
If it was me, I would support the person I love.
That's fine, in that case.
So then you're having the best time now, with that guy from the internet.
Ah, yeah.
Well...
- Hey, Tanimura. - Yes.
About the proposal.
They said they want someone with a bit more experience leading it.
Hasegawa, take care of it.
Yes.
Excuse me.
It must've been tough, given work that was above your ability.
Leave the rest to me.
- Going to lunch now? - Yeah.
Okay, me too. Did you get my message yesterday?
I found a good restaurant the other day. Let's go there.
Sorry, I want to clear my head alone.
I see.
Okay. I won't get in your way.
Yuuki.
Kazuya-san.
- Long time no see. - Yeah.
So now you're a salesman for a big time company?
I guess so.
No, it's great. You've really been working hard.
Not really. I was just let go from a big project I was running.
It was a big opportunity.
Well, nothing wrong with being a bit serious.
Makes you seem reliable.
For your mom and Kanako.
And your deceased father.
It must be tough for Kanako right now.
Make sure you help her out.
You know about it?
I met her recently. I heard it from her.
You met her?
She didn't say?
No...
I met up with some high school friends. It was fun.
It felt like I was back in the past.
People I met even before those lost five years.
So you were friendly with everyone?
Yeah.
I spoke with a guy I used to date.
I see.
Well, I don't like him now or anything.
But, how do you say...
It was easy to talk to him.
I see.
But...
There was some other feeling too...
Other feeling?
How do you put it...
I felt a little guilty.
Please fill out this form.
- Sorry, I actually don't need it. - Okay.
Excuse me.
Good work today.
Hey.
You're going early today.
Ah, I've got plans later.
- I see. - Yeah.
I'm not really worried.
Did you want me to be worried when you
get a little cold when you're busy?
No.
I'm the one who should be worried.
I'm sorry. I haven't been able to think about you because of work.
When things are tough for me, I can't think about things like a girlfriend.
Makes for a strange boyfriend, I guess.
Not at all.
Why did you stop?
I can't keep this up.
Huh?
I think we should put some distance between each other for now.
Sorry.
No.
Hello.
Evening. Delivery service.
Anything come to mind?
Nothing.
Can I open it?
Sure, it's yours.
Do you know it?
Know it...this is my clock.
It broke last year. The bird wouldn't come out anymore.
Really?
I wonder if it works.
This is...
Ah, how cute.
- You're having dinner, right? - No, I'll head on out.
Please eat.
Okay.
Haru-san, you have your usual spot.
- Kanako, please help. - Okay.
- I'm home. - Welcome back.
- Welcome back.
Sorry to intrude.
Hey.
Long time no see.
It's really beautiful.
Sorry.
- Hey... - Yes?
Do you like being with me?
Huh?
It's like you're always thinking about something else.
What am I to you?
Why is Haru-san here?
Why did you bring Kazuya here without saying anything?
No big deal!
Then for Haru-san, it's no big deal either.
This is Sakino-kun.
I'm Sakino. Nice to meet you.
I'm a high school classmate of Kanako's.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, I didn't bring any cards.
Ah, it's no problem.
I'm Miyamoto. I'm a car mechanic.
I'm also Kanako's husband but um...
Ah, I've heard about it.
Oh, really?
- Ah, excuse me for a moment. - Sure.
Long time no see.
Okay everyone take a seat.
It's been a long time since I had my mother-in-law's food.
Me too. I used to have a lot.
Well, it's not much since it's so sudden.
Not at all.
Right?
- May I use your restroom? - Sure.
Sorry for the awkward situation.
No, not at all.
- Let's eat! - Yes!
Good as always.
Thanks. Cabbage rolls and curry does work together.
It's always better tasting to eat in a big group than alone.
It's more fun and exciting that way too.
You're right.
Yeah.
Well, your food is delicious even if you had to eat it alone.
Thank you.
How long has it been since you two last met?
It's been about seven years. We had a reunion then too.
Ah, I see.
Yeah.
When did you come back to Japan?
Early last month. First time I've seen Japanese cherry blossoms in 7 years.
- Yeah. - The first time you came here was in the spring.
Yeah. Right after starting high school.
- It was? - Yeah, the bicycle.
- I see. - Bicycle?
When school just started, Kanako pushed the bicycles down like dominoes.
- My bike was broken. - I remember that.
So she was going to take me to the bike shop to pay me back.
- It was a day off, right? - Yeah, that's how you got here.
But then you ended up here.
I remember thinking my Dad could fix it.
Brought to see the father of a classmate I didn't really know.
I didn't know what to do.
You helped me with my homework while you waited.
Yeah yeah.
Yuuki was a cute kid then too. His nose dripping with snot.
Was not.
But your father couldn't fix it.
Yeah. But then I got dinner out of it.
Ah, sorry to get all excited there.
No no. If I was there, I could've got it done.
- Right. - Yeah, but I guess we hadn't met then.
Yeah, true.
Kanako was a careless girl back then.
Back then.
No, aren't you still at it even now?
- Really? - Hey.
Haru-san is more carefree than my sister ever was.
- Perhaps. - Hey now.
Sorry.
I thought I had straightened up too.
So you say.
Who gave you back your phone when you forgot it?
Right?
Forget about it.
- That did happen. - Right right.
Well, thank you for everything.
No, I'll be fine.
It tasted fantastic.
Thanks for the meal. See you.
Kazuya-san, some whiskey?
Ah, no thanks.
I'm going to see him off.
Hey...
Yes?
I'm sorry.
- Huh? - For lying.
Ah, the phone?
It's fine.
I'm sorry for showing up so suddenly.
No, that's...
Sakino-san is a nice guy.
Huh?
Your ex-boyfriend.
Figured it out pretty quickly.
But, that's in the past.
When we met at the reunion it really was a surprise...
It's fine. You don't have to deny anything.
I'm glad I came today.
I got to see a Kanako I've never seen before.
See you.
Good night.
- I'll be going home now. - Okay.
He really is a nice guy.
This is...
December 24, 2011.
The clock that Haru loved broke.
How about that watch store by the station?
No good. I went there but
they said they couldn't fix it.
They don't have the parts.
- It doesn't look that old. - It's pretty old.
It came with me when I moved in with my father.
- Wonder if it was new then. - Do you know what store it came from?
I asked my real mother.
If something came to mind.
But she didn't know where it came from.
I see.
I painted the swallow on this thing to liven it up a bit.
I did that when I was a kid.
I know.
You did your best. Time to move on.
This clock.
It's from a Haru that I never knew.
It holds memories of a Haru that I never knew.
I want to fix it.
I don't know what to do though.
There has to be someone out there who can fix it.
