Graduation.
Young people make the first step towards adulthood.
From school, from family,
From lovers,
And also to make independent decisions.
Graduation.
Now your graduation song has sounded.
It's now 11 PM.
You are listening to Dillon radio program,
"Music Diary". With me, Hitomi Tachibana.
Now I will present you something special.
Four special stories about graduations which I'd like you to listen.
They're called "Graduation Songs".
Dear radio listeners, don't forget, we'll be waiting for you to send your stories.
Either funny or sad.
Now I will tell you the story,
about two friends, that is connected to graduation song by Kiroro...
"Best Friend".
It didn't work out.
Ayumi, you did your best.
No. I didn't even have a chance to confess.
What?
(30 minutes ago)
- Mami? - You must tell him.
Hurry! Go!
Hey! I heard that Ayumi likes you.
Which Ayumi? Ayumi Takano?
No way! Absolutely no!
I won't bother with such an ugly girl.
You look really bad.
For the first time in my life I want to confess.
But I became a laughing stock.
It's really unforgivable!
Do not worry, I will punish him.
Mami?
What are you doing?
Hey!
You slapped him! I was surprised!
How did you do that?

Feel free to make this subtitle better ^^
That's it! I won't fall in love anymore!
Hmm?
That's true! I'm really telling the truth!
Are you listening? I'm discussing very important things with you now.
So, you won't fall in love with anyone until graduation?
Right! I won't fall in love!
But what about the one before.
Like I said, I no longer like Kato!
"I will be strong and not remember it. From love to hatred is just one step," is that clear?
I get it. And whose quote was that?
Johjima from national team.
So you really mean you will never fall in love with anybody, right?
I won't fall in love. Never.
Love is a forbidden feeling for me now. Truly forbidden.
Such stylish figure. And remarkable looks...
Ah, if I have met him earlier...
It's been only less than three hours, and you've already changed your mind.
He's so dreamy.
Till now you only took interest in local celebrities.
The football player, the baseball player, judo player, and then swimming club captain.
I was a silly girl.
To be interested on those foolish sports guys.
But this time is totally different. I'm sure of it.
Does he play ping pong?
No.
I went to library to hand over the last year's academic reports, and there...
I saw him. In the library...
Mami! You must help me to make friends with him!
And I always have to help you.
This time, it's really love. I'm sure!
(Chemistry Club)
It's the first time I'm entering other clubroom.
So they study chemistry here.
They do experiments with chemicals.
What a complex science...
Listen, it's other people's notebook. You shouldn't touch it.
It's okay. I will return...
Third year class 4... Takayuki Okamoto...
It's him!
He was so close just now.
Mami, what's wrong with you?
Eh? Nothing...
Takayuki Okamoto?...
Takayuki Okamoto...Takayuki Okamoto.
Ayumi Okamoto?
Hey! Mami?!
Eh?
Are you here? Why are you staring vacantly?
Sorry...
I'm really happy right now!
And you know what!
I've decided to bring a thousand people on your Birthday.
I have personally called them and invited them all. Are you happy?
No way?!
I lied.
Oh come on. Stop it!
But actually I was really going to invite them for you.
Listen! You don't need to do such thing!
Enough already...
Somehow we're always here talking about your nonsenses.
Mami, the first time we met here you were also talking nonsense.
Actually when I first came at this school, I didn't have any friends for the whole three months.
I had lunch here, on rooftop, alone. That's before I met you, Mami.
Ah... I was also alone back then.
No way! Mami, you never had any friends before we met?
It's not like that.
I do have many friends, but so it's the most fun with you, Ayumi.
And we'll keep fooling around together forever!
Mami?
What is it?
Best friends forever! The photo for memory!
Right, I finally decided to confess.
I want to change.
Change?
I'm glad, Mami, that I have a friend like you.
I've always been so shy.
I'm really nervous when I approach a stranger. I couldn't even talk.
Absolutely no confidence...
And I don't have any courage. No courage at all...
But it's alright now. Mami will always help me during the necessary moment.
I will confess and throw away all the fear.
The confession is my personal graduation.
Do you like Okamoto?
I like him.
I understand.
Then... for your success! Let's do the best!
Hey... that's painful!
- It hurts, you know... - Sorry...
Don't hit me again...
Right! Let's study...
These are all for later...
You did all these yesterday?
Well, yes...
It's amazing.
I think I understand something now.
What is it?
You know, I don't know how to confess. So it's impossible for me, right?
Well, I don't really know...
Therefore I have decided to make the "Confession" plan and follow it.
Follow what?
Everything is described in detail here. Four steps to success.
Four steps?
From now I will carry out all these plans step by step, which will eventually lead me to success.
Really?
That is why...
That is why?
(Takano Ayumi's Confession Strategy)
Our battle plan!
When will we begin?
(First Step: Get his photo!)
Are you sure he will show up?
(First Step: Get his photo!)
He will. I have already checked it.
I wonder.
Tanaka Koichi, the Chemistry Olympic winner, told to me about it. So don't worry.
I have prepared everything.
Hm.
Coming!
What are you doing? Hurry!
Stand there!
Cellphone!
Wait...
More to the left! - More to the left?
No. More to the right! More to the right!
Quiet! Stop! Stand still!
Wait. What is this?
What? At least he is visible... and it was so difficult to take...
Terrible.
Well, alright. Let's delete it!
Don't! No! Don't do it! Okay! It's okay!
Well, don't complain then!
Sorry.
Hey, why the first step is to take a photo?
- For training dialogue. - Training?
Training with an image!
To success in love, such training is very important.
Will that really be any help?
Certainly! Just look at this handsome guy. Getting such photo is already halfway to successful love.
Half is kind of...
Kondo from judo club... Farewell.
Nimura, the baseball player... Farewell.
Swimmer Matsuo. Farewell too.
Soccer player Kato... Farew...
Mami! Listen! Big news!
What? What is it?
Remember that terrible tragedy that happened to me last year?
When I was a fan of a school soccer team in which Kato played?
And then his team lost miserably.
It wasn't a tragedy! It was actually a miracle!
Yesterday while I was assorting photos...
Here, look at this photo.
Really unbelievable.
It's Kato, and...
Not that! Look, who is in the background!
Look, who's on the goal post. My Okamoto!
I've been looking at this photo since last night!
Kato is not necessary when there is such treasure in the background.
As I thought! This guy surely is captivating!
???! I wish to protect the goal post! I wish to receive a ball from him!
It's a good time to continue the plan! The next step! Let's go!
Well... What now?
(Second Step: Grab his attention!)
The second step. Okamoto should pay attention to me.
And not just noticing, but he has to remember.
Sounds scary...
We can't?
Let's discuss how to do it. For example, you, accidentally, drop a library card. Then you bend to pick it up and see what he does.
Brilliant... That's it!
Though it's probably bad to throw your card...
No, no. I am ready to do it...
You will do that?
French chemist Pasteur has proved it.
Coincidences and accidents do not exist in our world.
Yes?
And if I drop my card, that too is no accident.
Ah!
Here.
Yes, that was unexpected.
But everything will be okay. Probably...
Couldn't even say a word...
Listen. You should go back to him and take your card.
It is impossible! Mami, you are asking too much from me.
Huh?
I tell you I'm afraid. This time I can't do it.
What are you being afraid of?
This is your "pitching chance"!
My ball... my 'chancing pitch' ?
Pitching chance! Pitching chance! Pitching chance! Chancing...
No.. Pitching chance! Pitching chance! Pitching chance!
Please go with me...
I told you... You should do it alone...
It's no good! I can't do it!
It's alright! First step is to grab his attention. Third step is talk to him. Right?
(Third Step: Talk to him!)
But I don't know what to talk with him!
He will give you a card. And you just say sorry. That's all!
No, I can't!
Please! Go with me!!!
Please!
Alright. I'll go with you.
Hello.
Excuse me, can we disturb you for a moment?
Um.. Yes.
I'm sorry... For yesterday...
Ah.. this?
Sorry...
Yesterday she was simply scared of the unexpected.
Really? Sorry ...
No, no, I wasn't scared at all . Right?
Right?
Well, yes. Not really scared.
Are there a lot of people here on chemistry club?
There are usually 13 people, but no one is coming right now.
Are these reactants for color change?
You know them?
Yes.
Methyl will add red color in an acid.
Right. Surprising, huh?
Yes! I love chemistry!
Really?
We'd be glad to help you doing chemical experiments!
Mami! Thanks!
Mami, thanks to you, I can do chemical experiments with him! It's like a dream!
- That's great, right? - Mami, you will help me to do the next step, right?
I won't help!
You should do it alone. Don't miss the chance!
Impossible! No! We'll do it faster together!
No need to worry. You did well with the chemical experiments.
Impossible! If I'm alone, I can't even talk!
Then how will you be able to perform the fourth step?
Then... at least help me practice.
The fourth step! Physical contact.
Can you be Okamoto for now?
Eh?
And I'll talk to you as if you're Okamoto.
Alright. Alright. I understand.
Thank you. Remember, you are now Okamoto. Okay?
Okamoto...
Oh?
Listen, are we going to practice or what?
Sorry. Sorry, one more time, please.
Don't dare to laugh anymore!
I understand. I won't.
Okamoto...
What was that experiment?
So it turns out that magnesium can burn in water and in carbon dioxide in atmosphere ? Amazing~
What was that?
Hey!
Why did you laugh?
You laughed first!
Alright. Enough. I will train with Turio.
You always carry it with you?
Yes, we always together. With my ?urio...
- Are you sleepy? - Uhuh.
I trained with Turio until morning...
You actually did? I can't believe it...
"Enough! No more, please," chemist Marie Curie.
You don't know? Those are Marie Curie's famous words.
And what's this?
Besides, now I don't think of anything. I won't even be afraid to confess.
Hey, what's with you face.
What should I do?
As I thought I can't go in there!
It's alright. Okamoto is a good guy.
Don't worry.
I will go.
Ah... Good afternoon.
- Um... do the experiment. Can I? - Of course you can.
Thank God...
- Actually, Sato won't come today. - Yes.
So it's only the two of us.
So...you will need to wear the lab coat.
(Fourth Step: Physical contact!)
The fourth step. Physical contact.
Well, then... shall we begin?
Are you okay?
I'm okay...
Sorry...
Thank you for the help.
But I made you stay until late, I'm sorry...
No...
When I start doing experiments, I completely forget about time.
It was a very interesting experiment...
In chemistry, we can do a lot of things,
and I always want to see the result of the experiment.
Someday I'd like to discover something totally new. Like Edison, for example.
Well, maybe not really Edison...
No. Edison is just right!
Takano, you're really funny...
So, see you then.
Yes. See you.
What are you doing?
I'm just... thankful...
to the God of Love.
Thanks to him I met Okamoto.
You know, it feels so great to love someone.
And moreover... Okamoto... He's really wonderful...
Well, yes...
I'm so glad, that I dropped my card in library.
And he gave it to me, and not even mad at me.
It's definitely love. He even forgave me when I knocked him.
And for such a chance, I overcame so much trouble.
Now... I understand, this is real love.
There's only one thing left.
I will do it tomorrow after school.
Of course. And I'm sure you will success!
But... If 'that' happens...You will console me, right?
Sure, sure.
- Well, not now! - I'm just joking.
- What's wrong? - I can't find my cellphone.
Eh? Really? It's not here?
Sorry, I will look for it in locker room. Can you wait?
Sorry...
(I'm on the roof. Where are you now? Mami)
Ayumi?
What happened? Yesterday you suddenly disappeared.
Didn't even answer my call. I was worried.
Sorry. I suddenly didn't feel good...
- Eh? Are you okay? - Yes.
So, I will go to confess...
Good luck.
Oh, come on! Don't worry! Just go...
Excuse me...
Excuse me!
Can we talk for a minute...
Sorry, I called you out from your friends...
Um...
I...
I love you, Okamoto!
When I first saw you in the library, you looked so cool. And then I decided to approach you.
You looked wonderful when doing chemical experiments.
And you were always so kind, so caring to me.
And I liked how you did your best for your dreams.
And here I am ... don't know what to do.
When I look at you Okamoto, I fall in love even more.
Really, really in love!
No... I used to love...
Eh?
You already confessed?
How was it?
Ayumi?
Why didn't you tell me?
Eh?
About Okamoto...
Mami, you love him, don't you?
You've liked him long before I met him.
You love him, right?
I could not believe it when I found out.
You were hiding it from me?
Not even say a word?
- It's not? - I was really shocked!
Sorry... Yes, I hid it from you. I'm sorry.
But, I thought it would be better ...
Ayumi, you are my best friend. And I thought, if I help you...
Enough!
We aren't friends anymore.
No more friends. The friendship is over.
I was stupid. You hid it from me all this time.
I was shocked!
Mami, you took me for a fool.
Laughed at your feelings.
It's really sad.
I didn't know, Mami, that you like Okamoto too.
I didn't think about your feelings at all.
Sorry, Mami...
I'm really sorry.
But today, Mami, I won't foolishly hurt you anymore.
Ayumi...
I have confessed to Okamoto today.
And we parted.
Not really parting. I just ran away.
Not a good parting...
True friendship is created with both tears and smiles.
And whose words is that?
Ayumi Takano. The schoolgirl.
Now it's your turn, Mami.
Okamoto is waiting down there.
Hurry go!
Don't! Don't turn back!
Only losers turn back.
You have heard to the story about "Best Friend".
And tomorrow I'll tell you another story, entitled "Michi".
