Go, Aoi!
There were Akari and Shota...
I had never thought that the time would come to an end.
I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Bye-bye, Aoi!
Akari's gone.
It seems the factory went bankrupt.
Her dad seems to have borrowed money from a loan shark.
Akari!
July 2015
Shota...
I want you to meet someone.
- Akari...? - Aoi.
I wanted to tell you properly, Aoi.
We have been dating.
Eh? Akari and Shota??
I really don't get it.
Are they doing okay?
I was worried about them, especially Akari.
Well, they seemed fine.
It's been a while. How have you been?
Yeah...
How about you? Have you been okay?
Yup. Sort of.
Sorry to call you up. I thought you should know...
about us.
- Right? - Yeah...
Yeah, but...
Oh, darn it. I got a call from the office.
- Is it okay? - Sorry, I have to go.
I wanted to talk with you more.
But, I am happy to see that you two are doing fine.
Or rather, being happy.
Okay then, call me again.
Pay with this. See you then.
I really don't get it.
Akari, she disappeared so sudden.
Nobody knew her whereabouts, right?
She didn't even call, right?
And she appeared again, now she's dating Shota.
What a heck...
Since you went to a fancy restaurant,
did you meet any celebrities?
- Huh? - Is not what you think.
I didn't come to Tokyo to meet celebrities.
What are you doing?
I told you, it's not what you think.
I didn't intend to meet any celebrity.
Hmm? Hello? Hello...
- Welcome back. - Don't welcome me. What are you doing here?
I'm here!
I feel so much better.
Why are you here? On business?
How about your family's Tofu shop?
I took a summer vacation.
- Hmm. - Oh, thanks.
I'm so glad your toilet has a bidet.
I can't live in a house doesn't have a bidet.
- Wait a moment. - Just for the summer.
- Thank you for letting me stay. - During the summer...? I can't let you stay here.
Why not? It's not like you have a girlfriend.
- That's not the problem. - I'm back!
Welcome home.
Do you live with a girl? Is she your roommate?
A girl... you say.
- Ugh! - You live with an Angel?
Hello, I'm Aoi's bestfriend, Kanazawa Kohei.
- I am a junior of Kuryu Kohei. - I know.
- Eh? - My sister, Nanami.
Eh? Is this her?
Hey.
You're on my way.
- It's fate. - Huh?
Once we were separated,
but now, we meet again coincidentally.
If it isn't fate, then what would you call it?
My hot summer is finally here!
You should've told me that Aoi was going to be there.
I wanted to surprise you.
Why did you want to meet him out of blue?
I've learned that Aoi lives in Tokyo.
I thought that you would want to see Aoi.
I guess so.
Did I do something wrong?
Ah, my summer break. Pour your soul into every stroke Toyama High School Swimming Team.
You can attend the reunion tomorrow, right?
Yeah.
Without asking me...
A lot of people going to be there?
Well, somewhat.
Do you know... Nanami-chan,
does she have a boyfriend?
I don't think so. She's busy with job hunting.
Yay! I was astounded
a girl can be so much cuter in a shirt while.
Did Akari become prettier?
Not really.
Hey, just to be sure...
are you still in love with Akari?
Are you kidding me?
Do you know how long it has been since then?
I know, right?
How nostalgic, Akari and Shota.
Let's get together with everyone again.
Yeah.
How nostalgic to sleep with you.
I slept in your room often before.
I'm back.
- Welcome back. - Ah!
You startled me. What are you doing?
I couldn't sleep.
Did something happen?
Not really. By the way, Erika...
how was your date at the festival?
It was average. But I'm going to see him again.
I've never met anyone who is bad at catching a goldfish.
This belt is so tight. I feel like a roasted pork.
Koinaka Episode 2
According to the blood test, the patient's BMP was increased. (BMP = bone morphogenetic protein)
there is a risk of heart failure.
Pittsburgh University announced a similar case report.
I think it would be a best resort to treat with Furosemide and Cariperitide,
while the patient awaits for a heart transplant.
Wonderful!
Doctor Aoi is amazing, as I thought.
He always scored top when he was in med school.
On top of that, he is briefing the patient about the diagnosis.
I can't complete with him.
He was always great at studying.
He helped me many times.
Good work today.
Oh! It's been a while.
- Kohei. - I'm here.
Hey, that's not where the stairs go.
Ah, I'm sorry.
- What are you doing!? - I'm sorry.
- Miura-kun? - Yes.
- Yes? - Umm...
- What was it? - Eh?
Ah, right! I need you to do this for me.
Renovation for a kindergarten.
I would like you to design it.
Really?!
I think you are ready for it.
Thank you so much.
Forget that.
Here, you need to read this.
Repair of rabbit hutch
- A rabbit hutch? - Yes, that's right.
- Samantha and Umekonbu's hutch was broken. - Samantha? Umekonbu?
By the way, Samantha and Umekonbu are the rabbit's name.
I went there for meeting, and children asked me to fix it.
You mean, I'm designing the rabbit hutch? - Yes.
Yes, rabbit hutch. Could you think of design and drew on a blueprint by tomorrow.
By tomorrow?
You can't?
I can't. Okay.
I thought we were friends,
but you've never contacted me after the graduation.
My bad.
You didn't tell me about Akari, either.
I heard from Aoi.
Why didn't you tell me right away?
I thought it'd be awkward for Akari to see you guys
after what happened.
I guess you are right.
But, it's been seven years.
I'm sure everyone forgot about that.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Tonight's reunion...
come together with Akari.
- But... - It's fine.
Aoi is looking forward to see everyone.
Alright!
Yes. Hello?
Why aren't you here yet? The reunion is already started.
Sorry. I'm still working.
Why don't you work over-time tomorrow. Akari and Shota are here.
Sorry, I don't think I can make it.
Talk to you later.
What? What was it? A date?
It's not!
Why don't you finish and go?
It's not a date.
No wonder you are so focused, it's a rabbit hutch.
I'm designing for the first time, so...
You are ridiculous earnest. Good luck.
Surprise!!
Welcome back.
What is going on?
Well, not many people showed up in the end.
Only three of us, so we decided to drink in my house.
Your house?
You said, you wanted to see everyone, right?
That's why I called them here.
Sorry to intrude.
- Hi. - What do you want to drink?
- I'll have a beer. - Is this okay?
Well, well, well!
For seeing everyone again after seven years.
Cheers!
You know, I'm glad I came to Tokyo.
I'd never though I'll see Akari here.
Can I ask you... what happened to you?
I'm sorry that I made you worry.
I moved to Sendai where my relatives are.
I see. When did you move to Tokyo?
Five years ago. I wanted to take an exam to be a teacher.
I remember you told me you wanted to be a teacher.
After what happened, I almost gave up, but...
I met Shota by coincident.
And Shota introduced me to an university that offers online classes.
So I can take classes while working my part-time job.
And I'm going to take an exam to be a teacher this year.
Eh? So both of you going to be Sensei, Akari and Shota. (Doctor and Teacher are both Sensei)
I went to visit his hospital today. Shota was great!
- He is a brilliant doctor with bright future. - Stop lying.
Look who's talking?
Aoi, what line of work do you do?
I'm designing and giving directions at construction site.
What kind of building is it?
I'm working on the Theme Park right now.
Involve with animals and stuff.
It's a huge project. That's why I had to work over-time today.
So you became an architect, Aoi.
Yeah, right!
Everyone, look this way.
- Ready? - What it is?
Three, two, one. Click!
Great!
Hey, you said you two met by accident.
When and where did you meet again?
Same year that we graduated from high school. We met at Toyama again.
What? You were at Toyama? When?
I think it was winter.
We kept in touch after that.
And we started to dating after Akari moved to Tokyo.
It seems to be fate.
So you are saying, Akari's first kiss was
with Shota?
Big brother, you are gross.
I think the pizza is here.
It's okay. I'll get it.
Where did you guys kiss?
Hello! Why do you look so disappointed?
I was in the area for business, so...
I wanted to eat dinner with you.
Is someone here?
- Margherita! (pizza) - Good evening!
Tokyo's pizza delivery person is really cute.
She is not here to deliver a pizza.
I'm his friend, Saeki Ruiko.
I'm Aoi's best-friend, Kanazawa Kohei.
- I'm a junior of Kuryu... - Can I come in?
- Sure. - Excuse me.
Aoi's ex-girlfriend? Why did you break up with such a beauty?
None of your business.
Why? Why? Why? Why did you break up?
I wonder why...
Where did you two meet?
- At work. - Office love?
- Hey. - Hhmm?
What does Ruiko-san do for living?
She is a sales representative for housing company.
She is super talented.
Really?
She is too good for my brother. Dumping him was given.
Thanks.
Sorry, I got a call from hospital.
Shota, are you leaving already?
The patient's condition suddenly worsened.
A doctor is surely busy.
When do you guys go on date?
We haven't been anywhere for a while now.
We were suppose to go to a movie next Sunday. But we had to cancel.
A movie? I always wanted to go to movie theater in Tokyo.
Why don't we go with you? Is that a okay, Shota?
Sure. Please keep her company.
I'm not going.
Why not? Let's go. It'll be great.
I don't want to see a movie.
Why would you say such a thing? Let's go together.
Stop it. I told you no.
Why are you mad?
I'm not mad.
Sorry, but I'm leaving.
I'll walk you to down stairs.
Maybe Aoi didn't want to see us.
Hey... why did you lie earlier?
- Lie? - About us meeting again in the winter.
- We didn't? - You know, that day...
I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry.
Hello?
Can you bring Kohei's T-shirts? He spilled wine.
I'm sorry. It's in big brother's room.
Japan Architectural Design Competition
So you are seriously thinking about becoming an architect.
Tomorrow, can I come over and read "One Piece"? Aren't you going to buy it?
Yeah. One Piece - Volume 51
Hey, walk properly!
Kohei, are you alright?
He's not. So we'll take him back to sleep.
Walk.
Ah, sorry. Thanks.
- So you were dating Aoi? - Eh?
You don't look like an ordinary childhood friend.
No, we are ordinary childhood friends.
Um... why did you break up with Aoi?
I fell in love with someone else.
I was depressed due to my work. And he supported me.
My feeling was swayed since he was nice to me when I was weak.
Something like that could happen, right?
I'm not sure.
So I broke up with Aoi, and started to date him.
But things didn't go right.
For some reason, I feel more comfortable being with Aoi.
I know how you feel. He was always like that.
Is Kohei-kun okay?
Nanami is taking care of him.
Nanami-chan is quite caring, isn't she?
I think she'll be a good wife.
I doubt that.
I'm sure she will be.
I... should go home.
- Okay. - Well, thank you for having me.
Why don't you walk her home?
You can't let her go home alone in this hour.
I'll clean up this mess.
It must've been hard for you.
Well, I suppose.
How is uncle doing?
Who know?
He left right after that and I haven't heard from him seven years.
Geez.
Today... I really
debated if I should come or not.
I was nervous meeting everyone.
But, I'm glad that I came.
It brought us back to the old time, so it was fun.
There was only one left.
You shoulder... is getting wet.
I'm fine.
Ruiko-san... she is pretty.
Yeah?
Knowing that she's your ideal type,
I was surprised.
You can reconcile with her, if you are willing...
I was surprised, too.
About you dating Shota.
Isn't it great that you met him again. He is a doctor and capable.
You don't have to worry about anything. Your future is assured.
Do you think I date him because he's a doctor?
Because you guys...
- loved each other back then, too. - What?
Do you think I didn't know?
That's why I told him to go see fireworks instead of me.
But why did you come for me?
Why are you...?
Aren't you the one who asked me to go see the fireworks in a first place?
- That's... - You get a wrong idea and jump into conclusion by yourself.
The summer after that year...
After that year?
Forget it! I shouldn't have met you.
An umbrella.
Aoi...
you should brought an umbrella.
You'll get wet.
That's fine. I don't mind.
Ugh, I drunk too much
You went crazy.
I was trying to light up the bad mood someone created.
Oh yeah?
You don't know how to face Shota, right?
You weren't talking to him at all last night.
Well, I understand your feelings,
since your condition has completely reversed.
But, don't worry too much.
I'm sure you two can be friends like before.
Only you want to go back to how we were.
Everyone has changed, but you didn't.
Stop talking like a child.
We can go back to where we were.
- Please confirm this. - Sure.
I like what you did, Miura-kun.
Your skill has improved.
You can go home after get approval from a client.
Is there something wrong?
Improved? I worked here for two years, and I'm designing a rabbit hutch.
I think you did a great work.
You fought with your friend? Just apologize and reconcile already.
That'll be hard. You can reconcile with a man freind, but not a woman.
Friendship between a man and a woman doesn't co-exist in a first place.
I'm sure it does.
It doesn't.
For example, Kotani-san is my friend and you like me.
What?
If I have a boyfriend, would you root for us?
I can't. Definitely not!
You see? If you can't root for friend's love, then that's not a friendship.
But you don't always fall in love with your friend.
Even if you do, time will makes you forget everything.
What if they have kissed?
Hypothetically speaking...
That'll be up to you.
Listen, only men fuss over the matters in the past.
Most of women forget and move on.
You are right about that.
The question is...
how capable are you as a man?
Capable as a man...?
Sorry, I'm leaving first.
Is he still thinking about Ruiko-chan?
Sissy.
What are you thinking?
I was thinking that things could change after many years.
- The reunion last night? - Yeah.
I met my childhood friend after seven years, but
I couldn't talk to him like I used to.
It's not easy to go back, is it.
I'm back...
to my old body fat percentage.
Geez, I gained weight.
Don't worry. You can go back.
Just like my body fat percentage.
Thanks.
Nanami, where is Kohei?
He went back to Toyama taking a night bus.
What? He should've said something.
It's your fault, big brother.
Aren't you ashame to feeling anxious towards Akari-chan's boyfriend?
To make yourself look good, you even lied about Theme Park.
And you took your anger out on Kohei, and hurt him.
You are not capable as a man.
It's been seven years!
I'm so happy to see everyone after a long time. Fun! Love it!
Everyone was same as before.
For Tokyo-port ferry-terminal
Express Bus for Sendai
Kohei!
Aoi!
I was too harsh this morning.
I'm sorry.
I, too, sorry to cause you troubles.
My dad collapsed.
After the summer, I have to take over his shop.
So I came here to make good memory... I mean, enjoy my freedom for the last time
with everyone.
I thought if I see you guys
maybe we can go back to how we were.
At least that's what I was hoping,
but didn't happen, did it.
It's not that easy.
We all went separate ways.
After seven years...
our circumstances are different, too.
I am not capable enough
to except everything so quickly.
But... you know,
I feel same way as you.
I want to go back
how we used to be.
You can't see a result in three day.
Give me more time.
May I see your ticket?
I'm sleeping on the bed tonight.
Take care my luggage, will you?
Movie City Showtime for July 26th
July 26th Ticket for three adults
Purchase has completed.
Okay.
In other words, individualization or personalization became an issue.
Which means...
Aoi is coming to a movie, too.
It's been a while to play between three of us.
I look forward to it.
Me, too. I look forward to it.
Can you make sure to shave pillars for the fence, so children won't cut their hands?
Okay.
Akari is coming, too.
See you 15:00 on Sunday.
Ah, excuse me...
You are early.
Yup.
Tummy ache now!
I can't come today now.
What? What's up with "now"?
What should we do?
Right now, we'll focus on treating her heart failure, but
I think she'll need a transplant eventually.
Mainly for the transplant, HLA doesn't have to match...
I don't really care of HLA or whatever.
Hey.
I think you should know what kind of treatment you are getting.
Not interested.
Kokone-chan, do you have someone you like?
Why are you asking me that?
HLA is also known as a love gene. (HLA = Human Leucocyte Antigen)
A person is strongly attracted to someone who has different gene.
Which means, male and female have no choice but to beattracted to another,
are usually decided by gene.
It sounds like fate, isn't it?
- Hello? - Shota, please help me.
My stomach... I think I'm going to die.
Describe your pain.
It's like Murofushi is swing the hammer and yelling in my stomach. (Murofushi is an athlete)
Sorry, I didn't get it at all.
Why today...?
Today, I was suppose to watch a movie with Aoi and Akari.
The town is decorated with illuminations
What are you listening?
You smiled like an angel
Every time I think of you, I felt pain in my chest
I was afraid memory of your smile might vanish
A sweet cream puff. And you are supreme
The lyrics is funny, right?
Uh-huh.
In my dream, we flew holding hands
When I woke up from dream, I wept
I wonder if I can live forever
forever for you...
I like how it ended. It's not realistic, if every story ends in happy.
What do you know? You were sleeping in the middle.
What?
You always fall asleep on non-speaking parts.
Shut up!
Aoi! You, too, were crying when friend of main role was shot.
You cry easily as usual.
Of course, I cried. He was a good friend.
Well, I guess. Also, the scene with his friend was hilarious.
When the main role had an Afro hairdo, right?
That's right!
It's been a while since I laughed out loud in the movie theater.
Me, too. But we were the only two laughing.
Seriously?
You didn't notice?
I didn't. Wow, it's embarrassing.
Male and female have no choice, but to be attracted to another are usually decided by gene.
It sounds like fate, isn't it?
To Aoi. I've always loved you.
I'll wait for you at same place to see fireworks next year. Akari.
So... when is your exam for teachers?
Next month.
I will pass the exam and catch up with you and Shota.
Both of you are amazing.
You made your dream came true.
I didn't.
Yes, you did.
At least, you are far ahead of me.
Sometimes, I wonder...
if I graduated high school like everyone else, and went to university,
what would I be like now.
Back then, who I pictured myself to be and who I am right now,
are completely different.
To be honest, I envy you and Shota.
You know... I want to take you somewhere.
This is the project I'm working on right now.
A kindergarten?
You are doing this kind of work, too? That's great.
- Not there. - Eh?
President designed the building, and I...
designed this.
Rabbit hutch?
I lied about everything, the theme park, too.
I work at the architectural company, but...
I do all the non-architectural-related work, like making coffee and cleaning.
And...
this rabbit hutch is my first assigned job after worked there for two years.
I didn't know.
It's only a rabbit hutch, but I designed for the first time, so
I had a good time. I was so focused when I was designging.
But, I felt pathetic at the same time.
Who is really great is Shota.
He really became a doctor. I'm sure everyone has high hope for him.
He's so different from me.
- Hey. - What?
Why these fences are made in circular?
That's because, I didn't want to have any corner.
Corner?
Right.
Usually, a naive kid stays in a corner.
So I didn't want to create the corners.
Then, no one could be left out.
Everyone can play together peacefully.
It's so typical of you. You learned a lot from your experience being bullied.
Shut up!
Somehow, I can picture
children's smile while they play here.
You are amazing, Aoi.
What?
Your dream came true.
But, it's only a rabbit hutch.
What? I think this is great.
It's great that you can make someone smile with your creations.
You gave me a strength.
I will try harder.
- Hey... - Hmm?
Rabbit's names... Samantha and Umekonbu?
That's right.
Funny names.
This is a my place. Shabby, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is. - Shut it!
You are the one who said shabby.
- Hey! - Hey!
- What it is? - You first.
I had a good time today.
Thank you.
Oh.
I'm glad we have met again.
And, how about you? What were you going to say?
Can we...
- meet... - Akari?
Shota!
The surgery was canceled.
Kohei told me... thanks for today.
Well, I didn't have anything to do anyway.
She fell asleep in the middle.
Hey now!
She was studying until late last night.
Right.
I'm sorry about today. I really am.
Not at all.
Can I stay over tonight? I have a night shift tomorrow.
Ah, okay.
Here. I bought us liquor, too.
Why don't you join us, Aoi?
I really want to, but I have to work early tomorrow.
You should've told me earlier.
I see. Too bad.
- Right. - Right.
Okay. See ya. Good night.
Good night.
I've always imagine in the future would be the same
In the summer you were here, unable to express
my feelings well, oh
Why are our two hearts drifting away?
So why, so why, so why
cannot be reached
true love, true love
~Preview~ I'm thinking of proposeing Akari.
I think you guys suited together, you and Shota.
Akari was saved by Shota-kun.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
Dad!
What are you doing?
I don't know anything about Akari.
Uncle.
This is not a big deal.
You and I were looking for him for a long time. But why now?
You're going to end up liking her again.
She already has someone beside her
who supported her in her darkest time.
Shota? What is going on?
