You speak Japanese very well.
No matter where your travels may lead you, time continues...
and the summer heat is a thing that never changes.
This is why whenever it comes around, I remember...
the days of when I was a young boy of only thirteen who knew nothing of the world.
Even now, within me, there are things that have never changed.
Natsu no Arashi!
#SubsFuckingWhere@irc.rizon.net
Welcome!
Here you go.
Would you like to order anything?
An iced coffee, please.
I know Arashi-san's secret.
Arashi-san is actually a ghost.
Furthermore, she has the power to travel through time.
This is our secret, and ours alone. I can't tell anyone.
What are you spacing out for, Yasaka?
Eh? Oh, nothing really.
Just a secret between Arashi and me...
Huh?
What's the matter?
It seems Yasaka is hiding something for you, Arashi-san.
Oh, it's about that.
The truth is, I'm a ghost.
Eh?
Also, I have the power to travel into the past.
Eh?
What are you so surprised for?
Arashi-san, it wasn't a secret?
Nope, I wasn't really hiding it.
Oh... I see...
Don't be so childish. Do you seriously believe a story like that?
Well then, back to work.
The fact that he doesn't believe any of it is kind of annoying...
Are you interested...
in unbelievable stories like that?
The fine I got for speeding the other day was huge.
I can't even eat because of it.
Do I have any good food... any food at all?
Found something!
It won't fill my stomach, but it's better than nothing.
Hot water, hot water.
The gas is shut off.
Just water is fine, I guess.
It was shut off too.
Water Authority Center XX-XXXX-XXXX
My cell's disconnected, too...
I have no choice. I'll have to lick it...
I'm back from my break.
Arashi, reporting in!
Thank you for your work.
Just who are you?
Master, you look just like Oiwa.
TL Note: Oiwa is a ghost from the famous Japanese horror story, Yotsuya Kaidan, the story of Oiwa and Tamiya Iemon
Another strange person is here!
Those students from before came by.
They said they wanted a film starring a black-haired girl.
I thought I'd be perfect for the role.
No matter how you look at it, they were talking about Arashi-san!
What are you talking about?
It's obvious that I can be even cuter than Arashi-san when it counts.
If they just wanted someone in a wig, why did they come all this way to ask for help?
That really suits you. You look natural in it.
You're too cute, Jun-chan!
Eh? Please don't tease me!
Ahh, I really want to be in that movie.
I would definitely blow everyone away.
Today's motion pictures are beautiful, aren't they?
Motion pictures?
In our time, most films had war themes.
War themes?
You didn't watch normal things, like romance?
I did watch them.
Movies like "The Sisters of Gion" and "The Naniwa Elegy".
I don't get your tastes.
You're kind of strange, aren't you?
You're cute, but something's a bit off.
But that's cute in a way, too.
Saying that kind of pissed me off.
By the way, where are they making that movie?
They said it was at Oukurayama Womens' High School.
Ah?
I am Arashiyama Sayoko, from Oukurayama Womens' High School.
Does that mean...?
It's three stations away from here.
But there are rumors that ghosts appear in that place.
Ghosts?
It's an old, wooden building, and it's really dark inside.
There are rumors that during the summer, ghosts of the students who died in the war appear.
Seriously?
I wouldn't like it if something creepy appeared on the film.
Why don't we refuse? I have a bad feeling about this.
Don't be stupid. This and that are two different things.
Being called an actress... A title like that suits me.
I'm pretty sure that being called a demon would suit you way better-
I'll strangle you, you retard!
It can't be helped then.
You should try being an actor, too.
Who will?
You can only say that because you're not afraid of the ghosts!
Man's only weakness are the tears of a woman.
Then how about we go right now?
Eh?
To Oukurayama!
This place is...
It really feels like something is about to appear...
Wait, Arashi-san! If you go in without permission, someone will get angry!
What's the matter, Arashi-san?
Nothing, it's just...
Things change before you know it...
Arashi-san?
That's right! I'll show you something interesting.
Is this the library?
Hmm?
I'm sure it was...
Here it is!
Thank goodness, it's still here.
Here you go.
OK...
This is...
Arashi-san?
Yes! That's me!
In such an old photo?
How?
To me, it was only a little while ago that I was in this room, talking and having fun.
Eh?
I told you already, didn't I? I'm a ghost.
What? Are you still doubting her?
Damn straight. Ghosts are not real!
Even though you were afraid of ghosts yesterday?
This and that are different!
How can you believe a story like that so easily?
Well, I didn't believe it at first, but you saw it, right?
Anyone can use CG to do that nowadays!
So then, what are you going to do?
I'm going to hear from a specialist.
Do you want me to investigate how old this photo is?
It's from the oldest building in town, so I thought that if I brought it to this shop, you'd be able to tell.
It's not even a matter of being able to tell.
I'm the one who took this picture!
Eh?
It was in the middle of the war.
I went to the girl's school and took some pictures.
This just happens to be one of the pictures I took.
She was such a pretty girl.
She was from a wealthy family.
You can tell how elegant she was just by looking at the picture, right?
Awesome! Really awesome!
She really is a person from 60 years ago!
Didn't you just say that you believed her before?
I did, but don't you think it's exciting that we have proof now?
Like I said, Arashi being a ghost is way over the top.
Then what could it be?
Couldn't it be...
makeup?
How can a 60 year old look that young with makeup?
You met with the person who took that picture?
We did! He remembered everything about it!
Eh, that's so cool! He brings back memories!
That kid is really cool, isn't he?
Eh? He's already an old man.
Oh yeah, it's been that long...
Hearing it like that kind of makes me want to sigh.
Are you sad?
No, it's not like that.
It's just kind of... you know...
It's Sogoru.
It's exactly how I thought.
There is no doubt.
Please bring the salt.
That girl was here...
Natsu no Arashi!
Arashi-chan sure is late...
She didn't change her mind, did she?
Did you guys ask her clearly?
Oh, here she comes!
Good morning!
My agency doesn't really want me to do things like this.
I didn't know if I should go through with it...
But then I thought that if it was with this circle, everything would probably work out.
But, um... it wasn't really you that we were...
You see, I had the feeling that you guys could take me places!
I thought this would be a step forward in my acting career.
She even permed her hair for this.
She's really into it.
Hey, is this okay?
If that woman is here, Arashi-chan might show up, too...
It can't be helped then.
I'll change the script, so wait a moment.
Well then, we'll do the makeup for you.
OK!
What the hell is this?
The old maid that that yells at the main character-
Who's an old maid?
So in the end, she's just some demon...
Arashi-san, entering!
Wow!
How cute!
This is the heroine we've been aiming for!
Does it suit me?
Its perfect!
It's okay, I guess...
All right! Let's start the film!
Are you serious about joining the army?
With you gone, your sister will be left all alone-
But my brother volunteered, and he fought for his country like a true hero!
There's no way that I can just stay here and do nothing!
He went so that he could protect his country and those important to him!
Shouldn't you be following his example and protecting the people close to you?
Um...
Cut!
OK!
Nice work, Kamigamo. I didn't know you had so much acting talent.
You were awesome!
How about joining our group?
Actually, um, about that... well... my agency...
Next person, please!
Arashi-chan, are you ready?
Yes!
Scene 15, Cut three.
The girl finds out that her fiancé is leaving for battle.
What is this?
Ready!
Ready. We're on in 3, 2...
Action!
Just how long are you going to focus on her?
Cut!
What's the matter, Kamigamo?
Uh... no, nothing...
Thank you for the hard work!
Huh? Where's Arashi-chan?
Did you really ask her to go drinking with us?
She said she had plans.
I'll go with you.
Of course, it'll be your treat.
Kamigamo!
Is this where you were?
Let's go home, Jun-kun!
Arashi-san.
Hmm?
I believe you.
Jun, you...
How can I put this...
It's just my intuition.
The way you were acting before, and those movements...
Inside of me, I feel that it makes sense to me now.
Jun.
That wasn't an act, was it?
That was your true self.
You are really a person from 60 years ago.
They're stopping the film?
Well, it's kind of like...
The film they took yesterday was full of noise, so they couldn't use it.
Noise?
In the cuts with Arashi, they couldn't see anything.
As I thought, it was the work of a ghost.
Ghosts really do exist.
I wonder if it's my fault?
You showed up properly in this one.
That's from when I was still living.
Is the person next to you your friend?
Her name is Kaya. She was my best friend.
She was a very pretty and shy girl.
She doesn't look like she's from the country.
She's German.
Her skin was like a white flower.
We used to play together a lot.
I wonder what she's doing now?
You don't know?
We got separated in the chaos of the air raids.
I'm sure she's living in a peaceful place, and has become a wonderful grandmother.
I'm sure of it.
How nostalgic.
I kind of wish I could see her.
Then, let's go meet with her!
If we search for her, I'm sure we'll find her.
Even if she's in Germany, I'll help you!
Arashi-san?
That's true. I just need to search for her...
S-sa-
I just need to search for her!
It's so simple... why didn't I realize it sooner?
Arashi-san?
That won't do!
People shouldn't be left all alone!
Thank you.
Welco-
Huh?
The person from the photo...
Why?
It's been a while, Arashi.
Kaya...
It's here!
Here too!
I guess if you look, there are all sorts of things to eat.
Salt, pepper, soy sauce, wasabi, tabasco, and even a spice blend..
Eh? Why?
Kaya is supposed to be a cute, wonderful grandmother living peacefully somewhere!
That's my line.
There are two people from 60 years ago?
Arashi-san, this is great news for you!
But why...?
Arashi-san?
Well, it doesn't matter.
Is this really okay?
I don't really know how this happened either.
In the meantime, I should just be happy that I managed to meet up with her.
Long time no see, Kaya!
That easygoing part of you will never change.
What a nostalgic photo.
I don't know how you were able to hold on to it.
It's a symbol of our friendship! Of course I did!
You're lying.
You just used it as a bookmark and forgot it in the library.
I wonder if you still have that bad habit of losing things, even after 60 years?
Of course not! I've lost everything there is to lose, so I'm fine!
That's not fixing the problem.
This girl lost an important diary that I exchanged with her as well.
You're wrong! I left it right there on my desk!
Talking like that is not adult-like.
After 60 years, the only things you've remembered how to do are lying and making excuses?
60 years is way more than enough to be an adult. More like an old lady...
It's not nice to talk about a lady's age!
I doubt that you read it, but I wrote some important things in that diary.
Like what?
It would be foolish to talk about them now.
Eh? It bothers me!
It's your own fault for losing it.
Fine then! If you're going to be like that, I'll go get it for you!
Hajime-chan, will you help me?
Eh? You're going to jump?
Arashi, are you perhaps...
Yup! We connected!
Well then, off we go!
Are you ready, Hajime-chan?
Of course!
This is...
Oukurayama Womens' High School from 60 years ago.
I got a letter yesterday from my sister who's been evacuated,
but half of it was blacked out.
There's really no point in censoring things that little kids write.
I hope that the war ends soon so that my brother can return from the front lines.
Don't let go of my hand, okay?
If you got lost, we wouldn't be able to get back to our own time.
Hold on, Arashiyama-san...
You're going to get yelled at, dressed like that.
Thanks for the warning.
Sakura
Found it!
Kaya's exchange diary.
Now I see...
I should write a reply.
We're back!
See? It was right there!
I didn't lose it.
Thoughtless, as always.
Ah...
What's the matter, Hajime-chan?
I just figured out why the diary went missing.
It's because we brought it into this time.
So what's the important thing that was written in the diary?
If something happens to us and we get separated, we should meet back up at the Ark.
You kept your promise.
Yup!
To
be
continued...
How are you this evening,
Yayoi?
How are you this evening, Yayoi?
I am feeling very well,
Kanako.
I am feeling very well, Kanako.
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
I read another very interesting book.
My, what was the name of the book you liked so much, I wonder?
That is... Ah, I seem to have forgotten the title.
Will you tell me what kind of story it was?
Yes, I'd be happy to.
It is a story of despair.
Giants the size of elephants and dressed in reapers' clothes
harm the land with pain and destruction.
After being betrayed by a friend, our hero is pained deeply and vows to use the power he has for vengeance.
He uses the pain of losing the woman he loved to fight and save his people.
In the end, he becomes a legendary savior.
What a wonderful story that is.
There's a catchphrase this legendary savior would always say.
What is it? Will you tell me?
You are already dea-
When you think of summer...
You think of swimming.
I am very good at swimming.
Freestyle? Or maybe the breast stroke?
Shin. Gyo. Sou.
Those are really old strokes, aren't they?
Get up bright and early again tomorrow!
Get up bright and early next time!
Natsu no Arashi!
