Please take care of this while I'm away. Shizue
Here. Congrats on your recovery.
Thanks. It's nothing.
Leave that. Sit down.
When does your train arrive? Do we need to hurry?
No, it's okay.
We won't be able to see each other for a while, so I wanted to get a good look at you.
You don't need to look at me, though.
Who was honestly put off by receiving such a long message?
Me.
Who got angry thinking all this woman does is lie?
Me.
Who wanted to break up because she's so needy?
Kiho-chan is Kiho-chan.
I won't meet him again.
Okay.
Can you hold me?
I thought it was too late.
Let's become a normal couple.
We can do that, right?
Let's do that.
Hey hey hey!
It's payday today!
It is. What should I do?
Say, Sugihara-san? How will you spend the money?
I'll live it up. Live it up!
Oh?
Hayashida Masahiko, Chie
Yabane-cho
Hokkaido, Tomakomai-shi
Welcome!
Ta-ta-takoyaki, ta-ta-takoyaki~
Leaves green seaweed in your mouth~
Ah, I'm getting off!
Ah! Excuse me!
Wait! Takoyaki...
Good evening. Good ev-.
Mr Mover, um, you see...
You're angry about what happened the other day, aren't you?
I'm sorry for suddenly doing something...
something like that...
Delete this image?
Yes

SOME DAY, WHEN WE REMEMBER THIS LOVE, WE WILL SURELY CRY
Translation: Sanashi Timing: Cubical Noses
Kawamura-san, it's meal time.
Lunch is here. Here is your lunch.
Here, please hold this.
Ah I'm sorry.
Two rolls of toilet paper.
Ah!
Are you okay? I'm sorry! -No problem.
Aren't you taking on too many shifts lately? Huh?
Take a little break.
The next person is waiting for the bath. Please take care of it.
Okay! And brush Kawakami-san's teeth, please.
Okay.
Ah, thank you. Sure.
Where does this go again?
What?
Over there. Oh yeah.
All done? Here. Your child support.
Boss, you're annoying.
No, but these days, there aren't many men who pay when they get divorced. You're a good man.
Cause my stupid wife and kid are helpless without me.
Here, Ren. You've worked hard.
You look so happy. Thank you!
Let's see... Boss. Boss!
Yes? What is this?
There's nothing I can do. Lately, we've received fewer major orders.
Yes, but this... Kaji, here~! -Thank you.
Let's see, who's left?
Ren, could you lend me 20,000?
My stupid kid is starting elementary school and I have to transfer the money today.
Can you, Ren? Can you, Ren? Come on... Ren!
There's no way he'd do it.
After all, when you broke that speaker, you made Ren pay for it.
What?
Ah, no. I'm just kidding.
Gimme money. Gimme money. Gimme money.
Sabiki-san! Gimme money.
Gimme money. Gimme money. Sabiki-san!
Let me go!
What's with that look?
That's quite a bargain.
It is cheap. It's surprisingly cheap.
I was told the same thing not long ago.
Welcome! Young man?
Huh, maybe he's just browsing?
These are all genuine articles.
Ahh, so cold.
Sasuke, wait.
Wai... I'm telling you to wait.
Ah, thief.
She said she was giving it away to a friend.
Giving it away?
Isn't that the one your parents brought you when you moved to Tokyo?
Isn't it better if I give it to someone who needs it?
But that thing isn't cheap.
I've been scouted by a modeling agency.
I'll even receive a sign-on bonus and they'll rent an apartment in Aoyama for me.
I'll be able to pay them back for the sewing machine in no time.
It's not a matter of money... What, are you jealous?
Because I was the only one who made something of myself.
Have you? If that's true, I'm happy for you.
It's an agency I've never heard of.
Let's go. Okay.
Haruta. Yeah?
Is Konatsu okay?
Ren-kun, you're getting a bald spot here.
Look, here.
Did something happen? It's nothing.
Kiho-chan
Working hard! I'd like to hear your voice, so call me when you get home?
Nishino Miori
I caught a cold. Can you take the early shift tomorrow?
Kiho-chan, good morning. I'm going to work now.
So annoying.
I'm sorry.
I'm telling you you're annoying!
Excuse me.
You're the one who's annoying. What did you say?
Of course a baby has to cry.
Is that any way to speak to your elders?
Aren't you ashamed to act that way despite your age?
Excuse me. No one will say it, but it's bothering them. -Shut up!
I'm sorry. You're so annoying. Just die.
I'll call the police. Call them if you want!
You are bothering other customers, so please stop.
I am really sorry.

On the contrary, the main branch is asking us to reduce staff.
If we do, we won't be able to form shifts.
Then make personnel lunches ¥280 instead of ¥380.
That still isn't a permanent solution.
Yes?
Are you in pain?
Sugihara-san? Sugihara-san?
Good morning.
You can take her in this. It's fine.
Please call a doctor. Okay.
What? Did that man leave?
What is it? Coming after us all the way here.
I'd like to discuss the management of Shunju no Mori Institution.
Such a thing... This is the last chance.
They are going bankrupt.
If they lose any more staff, they'll all collapse.
If they collapse, hire new people.
People aren't expendable!
If you are unsatisfied, come up with a counterproposal.
If you have ideals, you should make your own company.
I am not the enemy.
It's to improve that institution.
Those are pretty nice shoes you're wearing.
They're easy to move in.
You wanted to disobey me even about this matter?
I.... Don't show your face to me.
It's sad to look at my own failure.
Talk to me once you've won.
This room is too cold. No wonder you caught a cold.
Hey... I have no memory after falling asleep on the bus this morning.
Did someone go to pick me up?
Wasn't it Ibuki-san?
Was it?
I'll have to thank him.
It seems it'll be even colder tonight. Seriously? Give me a break already!
Excuse me, I'm looking for an electric heater.
I had a cheap one on sale, but I just sold it.
clearance sale
How about this one?
Okay then, I'll that and a humidifier. Thank you!
Sorry to disturb you.
Thank you for coming. Was I easy to find?
A man from the neighborhood showed me the way.
Man from the neighborhood?
Alright. Now this room is fit for a human to live in.
I'll head back, then.
Thank you very much.
If anything happens, call me anytime.
Is this Kawamura-san?
You don't need to look at that!
Saito-san, Nemoto-san, Kouno-san.
You can draw? No, I can't.
I've just loved to doodle ever since I was a child.
Drawing like this, you've never wanted to become a painter or an illustrator?
Certainly not.
Maybe you had a different option, instead of being bossed around at our workplace.
You didn't have a dream?
A dream? Doesn't everyone have one?
I want to be like Asada Mao or something.
No... That seems challenging. Dreams are challenging.
They're troublesome and depressing. Even if you want to get rid of them, you can't.
It's as if your heart gets entangled in an intricate web and you can't shake it off.
That is a dream.
I see.
There are people who get crushed by their own dreams.
This isn't something I should be telling a sick person, is it?
Ibuki-san, do you have a dream?
I used to.
I think you have talent, though.
I don't know, but...
If I did have a dream, it already came true.
Working as a caregiver?
I wanted my own room. A room?
I wanted to have my own job,
to use my own money to buy the things I feel like eating
and sleep in my own futon, in my own room.
This is...
the life I've always wanted.
But, I don't know.
I see.
Okay, I'm going.
That sounded weird, didn't it?
Maybe my dream is still alive, after all.
What is it?
Being able to properly talk to that man.
Thank you.
Get well soon. I will.
I'm coming back the day after tomorrow. Will you be home?
I might have to work late.
I don't mind waiting for you.
I have two keys.
Eh? I'll leave one for you in the mailbox.
You can hold onto it.
Yeah, okay.
I'll wait in your room. Wait for me.
Theater troupe Matsubokkuri is having a performance.
I don't think you're suited to being a model.
Shut up! Ah, wait, wait.
Excuse me. Hey, hey~
Onsen = Hot Springs
Want to take a bike and go to an onsen together?
Why should I go to an onsen with you?
What, do you have feelings for me? Yeah.
What do you mean "yeah"...
Yeah.
You know we're not right for each other.
I don't care how, but I want to change.
I don't want to be just another girl in a sea of girls.
There is a sea of girls who say they don't want to be like other girls.
Hey, stop.
What are you doing?
My son goes to school here.
What? It's a private school. Private.
Oh?
Which one is he?
Do you need to ask? The best looking one.
Time to go home. Okay~
Ah, here they come. Goodbye!
See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
That's him.
Hey, Ryuuta...
Come. You should button up properly.
You'll catch a cold again.
Is this too tight? No.
Daddy!
Excuse me for a second. Okay.
What is it?
The entrance fee.
Didn't I tell you Seno-san will pay for it and that I didn't need it?
Did you?
I'm sorry. Let's go. Okay.
Bye bye.
Sabiki-san.
Are you looking down on me? Hey! Are you?
Y'know I...
I was the brains behind Komuro Tetsuya!
He keeps calling me every day saying, "Sabiki-chan, please come back."
Don't you look down on me! You hear!
Go back to the countryside.
I won't!
Even if you keep doing this, nothing will change.
You won't save up money. You'll spend your whole life like this.
You'll become like me.
Give it up.
Hey, hey, what's going on?
We were bonding. Idiot.
In your case, you'll receive offers from various magazines in no time.
Wait here a moment, I'll go get the contract. Okay.
Mom
Here it is.
Real estate? Yes. The apartment you'll live in.
Then, this is...
Well... What?
Ah, no. I mean...
I'm signing a lease for the apartment?
Everyone does this. But I don't have any money.
We will temporarily shoulder the expenses. When you start earning, you will--
Does this mean I'll go into debt?
Becoming a model requires a lot of money.
May I make a call to my mother?
Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my friend.
No one is here. Konatsu-chan!
Leave! Hey! Konatsu-chan, you there?
Haruta! There she is.
Save me!
Pardon me. Hey!
My fever is down, too. Yes. Starting tomorrow.
Ah, today? Right now?
Go ahead. Aren't you getting on?
It seems crowded. He'll probably cry.
But it's cold!
Ah, excuse me. We're getting on.
Right? Let's go.
You're not getting on?
There, there.
Don't cry, don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
There, there. It's alright. You know...
Not that I mind, but why would you ride the bus with a child at this hour?
I was working.
Not that I mind, but haven't you considered what people might think?
I'm sorry.
There, there.
I know, I know.
Here. Look! It's a rabbit!
I hate sounding like the bad guy here, but could you please move?
Shall we? I'm sorry.
Are you alright, Miss?
Ah, I'm fine.
It's a bra!
Ah, I'm sorry. I apologize.
Ooh, let me have one!
As if you'd want one!
Poor thing. Poor thing.
I want it, I want it! You do?
So funny!
Can you see? Can you see?
Excuse me.
It's not funny.
It's not funny!
There's nothing funny about this.
A person fell down, that's all.
Thank you very much.
Good night.
Laundry...
Are you going to do your laundry?
I am.
In that case, I think you should take it to Shizue-san.
Would that be alright?
Please go on ahead. I'll come after buying some things.
And I need... to talk to you.
What did you buy?
I'll prepare it now, so please have a seat over there.
What are you making?
Have a seat.
Okay.
Here.
only genuine articles
Why do you know how to do this?
I had a part time job during high school. -Oh?
I wanted to buy grandpa a massager.
Oh?
He got angry. I am not that old, he said.
Even though he's over 70.
And yet, when I'd make some for him, he'd eat 20 pieces saying, so good, so good!
I think I could eat 20 pieces, too.
Really? I won't lose to grandpa.
What?
It's just that grandpa is stubborn and hates losing, too.
We're the same.
Normally, he's kind, but when it comes to things like the bath temperature,
or the way one should eat fish, he's really scary.
Bath should be tepid. Tepid!
You should sweat in the bath! You should sweat, he says.
Ever since I was little,
I've lived alone with my grandpa.
Yeah.
On the verge of tears, I'd use the bath that was just as hot every time.
Oh?
Grandpa is really amazing.
I'd love to meet him. No...
Rather than meeting him, you'd want to see him.
He's a rare species, so it's more like sightseeing than meeting him.
Seeing grandpa, seeing lake Inawashiro...
Lake Inawashiro? Have you heard of it?
It's a lake near our place. It's beautiful.
In the morning...
Every morning, I'd go there before I started farming.
I'd see an upside down reflection of Mt. Bandai bathed in the morning sun.
The lake would be like... The mirror image of the sky.
Looking at the mirror image of the sky, your heart becomes at peace.
When I'd go there at sunset, on the days I was sad, it would reflect a sad color.
On happy days, it would be a happy color.
I love rainy days and stormy days, too.
When fog and clouds cling to it... the reflection takes on a deep blue color.
When the wind blows, waves rise.
Murmuring.
This is my home.
The place where I live.
That's what I thought.
I'd love to go see it.
Together...
It's better if it browns a little, isn't it?
Yeah.
I'll get the katsuobushi.
dried tuna flakes used as a topping for takoyaki
Tokyo life...
doesn't really suit me.
Even when I come home... I don't feel at home.
Even when I'm in my room...
I want to go home.
Yeah.
That's how I've spent...
these past five years...
living in Tokyo.
Yeah.
That's how...
Sugihara-san...
Yes?
I fell in love with you.
More and more,
and became helplessly in love with you.
I am always thinking about you.
That...
Having to give that up...
hurts.
Sugihara-san.
I'm sorry for being cold to you until today.
Starting tomorrow, I'll do the same again.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I loved you.
I'll go get the katsuobushi.
Okay.
You ate it too quickly!
I wonder if I can burn my mouth this way. I did it too.
Are you doing well?
Ah! Hm?
tako - octopus, that's where the name takoyaki comes from
There are two pieces of tako in this! That's right!
Have you found love?
It's delicious.
Will my dream come true some day?
Somewhere along this road
Do you remember
the shaking barley we saw that night?
I kept searching the endless sky on the horizon
Good evening. Good evening.
While imagining the future
The moon is beautiful. It really is.
Now inside this dream
Radiance of shapeless things
Gently, gently embrace it
And continue on
Are you laughing
Sorry to keep you waiting. Shall we go home?
With your innocent eyes, like you did that day?
I was worried they were too strong.
You must have faced
Of course they were weak. Ouch. Ow ow.
Cold nights and rainy mornings too.
Your hometown
Even though they were weak.
Your place to come back to is right here
I'm not in love with you.
That will never change, it'll always be waiting for you.
I know.
Don't stop imagining the future
Tokyo nights sure are bright. It'd be nice if it were a little darker.
Now inside this dream
Without ever forgetting
The warmth of your beloved
I'm sorry.
The one I love is... You don't have to love me.
Continue on
What?
It's fine if you don't love me.
Be with me.
In return,
I'll make your love come true.
I'll make Ren-kun yours.
Haruta?
Make a contract with me?
Welcome home.
Hello? It's Sugihara.
It's Ibuki. I apologize for calling so suddenly...
Did something happen?
Hello?
I want to see you.
