During the Spring of my 16th year...
I received a letter addressed to me.
The sender of the letter is...
Me?!
Noda Yui.
-Present. -Okay.
Nobuchi Takahono.
-Here. -Okay.
-Hagita Saku. -Present.
Okay.
-Nobuhata Nozomi. -Here.
To the me who is in her second year in highschool. How are you?
I am writing this letter to you from 10 years in the future.
10 years in the future?!
Everyone has been called, right?
Congratulations on moving up a grade.
I am going to be advising this 1st class of the second year.
I'm Nakano. Best regards.
Best regards.
After this one, you will be attending the school opening ceremony.
You ask why I am writing this letter to your 2nd year high school self?
It's because there is one favor I would like you to come true, no matter what.
Wait---What is this?
Someone's prank?!
There is someone I would like to introduce to you.
I'll go and call him for a while.
So that the mistake I did will never happen again to you...
...I am going to write what will happen next and when it will happen.
Until that time, I want you to choose the right path you want to happen to you.
I made you wait.
Let's go.
Okay.
April 6. Morning.
For the first time as I was looking at the cherry blossoms, I thought I was going to be late.
Why does she know?!
In that day... a transferee from Tokyo will arrive.
We have a new student from Tokyo.
His name is...
...Naruse Kakeru.
He is Naruse Kakeru.
He arrived here from Tokyo last month, and this is his first time living here in Matsumoto.
Well then, some words of greetings.
I'm Naruse Kakeru.
Pleased to meet everyone.
Let's get along.
Then, your seat is going to be the one beside Takamiya.
Yes.
He will take his seat beside me.
It's still this time, huh? Well then, let's use the remaining 15 minutes.
I'm sure this is a coincidence.
This is only by chance, right?
Naho?
-Let's go and buy some bread. -Come on, come on! Come with us!
-THEN! Today, I'll be eating something else! -I'm not giving you anything!
What the heck? You're eating too much. Choose a vitamined bread.
Vitamin?
Kakeru-kun! You should come home with us!
-Oh, right! Our bread is delicious! -I want curry-flavored!
I didn't invite you!
Could this be....? As written in the letter...
You'll invite Kakeru to walk home together, but he'll say no.
Umm, today.. I have... something...
Come on! That's fine! Let's get along!
-Oh, right! We will tour you all over Matsumoto. -Right!
-Since it's very rare that we get a half day class. -She's right! Our bakery's bread are so delicious!
Then... Just for a bit.
YES! It's decided!
I just want you not to invite Kakeru out only on that day.
Absolutely not.
If we did, I wonder what makes it prohibited.
Naho!
First, let's start with the self-introduction! She is Murasaka Azusa.
Call me "Azu!"
Next... Chino Takako.
Let's get along.
Hagita Saku.
Takamiya Naho.
And I'm Suwa Hiroto! I'm fine with Suwa.
Suwa...
Suwa!
Suwa?~~~Suwa!~~~
...he said!
The trees here look amazing.
Isn't it? This is Agata's Forest Park to the Path of Time!
These pine cones here have withstood for 10 years and preserves the buildings of pre-war Matsumot---
Fine, fine! Enough already.
-Over here at Matsumoto, it doesn't take off too. -That's true!
I can't wait until the cherry blossoms bloom! That would be the best!
-Let's go and view the cherry blossoms! -When you say cherry blossom, it has to be in Koboyama!
It's so amazing to see cherry blossoms all blooming all over the place right in front of your eyes just below!
What do you mean?!
-I said cherry blossoms all over the place! -Sakura, sakura, sakura!
Hey, are you "Shige Dancing?"
What's that?
Don't know about it? Like this.
Hey, I know that one! Isn't that kinda old fashioned?
Shut up!
He smiled...
-Where? Which part did you laugh at? -Tell us where!
Cherry blossoms... don't they normally bloom above, not below?
Nice one, Kakeru-kun! You really were listening! The cherry blossoms at Koboyama...
What am I worried for?
Inviting him was a good idea.
Guys! I brought bread!
2 for 1, okay?
So, Kakeru-kun. Which one do you prefer?
Anything's fine.
No, no. You see, each one here are all delicious.
Then...
I'll choose Koike.
Nozowana?
Nozowana! -It is so delicious!
'Bout you, Naho?
Anything's fine for me!
Really? You're not holding back?
Well, then! For Naho, I have...
You like sweets so you'll have this melon bread and... and an apple cinnamon too, right?
Thank you~~~
Kakeru-kun, you'll have curry.
Then, I'll take the other curry-flavored one.
-But, I want to eat it too! -You can eat it anytime you want.
-No, don't wanna! -I'll give this cream to you!
Glad I didn't say anything.
Everyone really likes curry-flavored bread, right?
You've had enough curry, right?
Want to trade my curry...
This one! I like this more.
...with your melon bread?
-Go ahead. -Thanks.
Hey...
Do you mind if we call you Kakeru?
Not at all. I prefer that one.
Kakeru...
April 6.
The transferee Naruse Kakeru arrived...
...and became my seat neighbor.
This letter...
...did I really write this?
No...
It's scaring me...
What happened to Kakeru?
How many days have it been?
-At least, 10. -10 days, huh?
-We haven't heard from him since then, right? -Yup, since then.
Should have asked for his phone number.
And we also wanted to see the cherry blossoms with him, too.
Could it be... the letter said something about what happened?
April 20.
The big game.
Two weeks after meeting Kakeru.
At the softball match, I was asked to play as a batter.
At that time, I really regretted that I rejected to batter.
On this very day... I fell in love with Kakeru.
It's Kakeru!
It is Kakeru!
What happened to you? You went missing for two weeks!
I was slacking.
Slacking?
We're glad to see you're doing fine.
What were you doing for two weeks?
Well, a lot.
What do you mean by "a lot?"
Go! Pick it up! Pick it up!
Hagita! Hagita! Hagita~~~ Hagita!
Oh, go go go go go!
What're you doing in your break?
Aren't you going to participate?
I'm... a temporary member.
Why?
After all, I haven't been attending classes.
I haven't been practicing too.
Suwa really is good at it.
STRIKE!
Our only favor! Please batter for us!
It really did happen.
I regretted that I rejected to participate.
Did you buy it?
Do you want anything else?
They're losing.
After this next hit, they'll win.
Win? Seriously?
It's impossible for me. I definitely can't hit that pitch.
So fast.
Sorry.
I'm not good at it.
Please, Naho!
You played softball in middle school, right?
-Right, right! Naho, you can do it! Go. -Please, we ask of you! Please!
Your feet...
...hurts, right?
-Naho, you got injured? -Are you alright?
-Where? Where? Let me see. -Just a bit! Let us see!
No, I'm really fine! Nothing's wrong!
Then... I'll go hit it!
I'll hit!
In the letter... it says that after Azusa plays as my substitute, we lost the game.
You can't do it, right? You don;t know how to batter.
It said that I regretted rejecting to play.
Is it really fine... to reject it?
Running away from it...
...is the worst!
I'll hit it, after all!
I will!
STRIKE!
2 more hits to go! 2 more!
I hope you won't refuse this time and accept everyone's request.
NAHO! NAHO! START RUNNING! RUN!
I succeeded! For the first time!
NAHO!
To my weak cowardly self... I didn't run away!
Are you fine?
Let me see your feet.
Sit over there.
It's fine.
Just come here.
Hurry.
Ouch.
You should properly say... that the size was wrong.
But...
If it's just the class time for PE, then it's fine.
Saying it now would be too late.
I'll just suppress it in.
If you keep on suppressing...
...you'll miss out, you know?
That kind of thing suits me better.
As long as it doesn't cause trouble to anyone...
...no one noticed after all.
I was looking at you...
...you know?
I was interested.
Here, it's done.
Bye.
Thanks.
You too, Kakeru...!
If you want to play soccer...
...you should properly say it too.
I am looking at you... too...
Kakeru...
I am properly looking at you!
The hit you did a while ago was awesome.
I will also join the soccer team next year, so...
I'll show you something much better than Suwa so watch me!
Definitely!
The fact that it was written on that letter...
...is really happening to me.
On this day... I fell in love with him.
When he said, "I'm looking at you..." It made me happy.
PARCO?
No, not that much.
Sorry. After this, I'm going with Kakeru to ours.
What? You leavin us?
To the future me, 10 years from now...
Has one of your regrets...
...disappeared?
Naho.
Look at this flower. Isn't it beautiful?
What is this for?
I'm giving it to Kakeru.
Kakeru won't be happy to have that~~~
It's fine.
Naho~~~ Suwa~~~
-It's been a while! -Long time no see!
Yuka-chan~~~
Hagita, you doing fine?
How cute...
This child really has your eyes, Naho.
Glad he didn't inherit from Suwa.
Right!
Shut up!
Really?
I know. You did have such low remarks during the previous test.
Okay... Let's go.
To fulfill our promise to Kakeru.
When I reached the age of 26...
...I have a lot of regrets.
10 years from then, right now.
Kakeru is no longer here with us.
He passed away?...
...Kakeru-kun?
Food~~~food. What do you have today?
There's none for you.
Oh, right. I heard about it, Kakeru.
You said that I was good in soccer?
Right, Naho?
Naho...
Sorry.
Don't tell people.
He called me "Naho," for the first time.
What was that?! The Kakeru we saw just now was so--- right?!
"Naho, don't say that." *pokes* Something like that?!
"Don't say that," and poke! Oh, my~~~
My heart's quivering!
I know... that you're aiming for Tokyo. Right?
No way.
You didn't bring your bento today?
My mom doesn't cook back at home.
So delicious! Look! Naho made this lunch all by herself!
Then, why don't you make one for me, next time?
Okay, fine with me. I'll bring it tomorrow.
It's fine. I was joking.
Let's go.
-Okay! Let's be off! -Let's eat.
In the end, I... stopped with the idea of making bento for Kakeru.
If I made one for him back then... would I have not regretted it?
I want you to make a bento for Kakeru.
Eggs.
I wonder what Kakeru would think about this?
Am I not troubling him?
Morning.
Good morning.
-Morning. -Hey.
What's that?
This? Modern research about some unexplained phenomenons.
Is it interesting?
It is.
Thank you so much.
Okay! Come over here!
Hey, what are you waiting for? Come here already, stupid.
You comin' with us?
Okay, let's go.
Let's go, go!
What's up?
I'm waiting for Azu and Taka-chan.
I see.
You've been holding on to that bag for long.
Let me see.
Sorry.
Nice shot!
I have a lot of regrets. 10 years from then, right now. Kakeru is no longer here with us.
Just what the heck is up with that guy? Playing half-assedly.
I'm tired.
-Wanna eat? -That's a good idea. Same place?
Let's go.
Kakeru?
Sorry for what happened a while ago.
Naho...!
Let's go home together.
Well, then. I'm heading off first.
See ya' tomorrow!
This event... wasn't in the letter.
Naho...
What do you always do when you get back home?
Let's see...
Helping my mother prepare dinner.
Admirable.
How about you? What do you do when you get back home?
Games.
Then, this other day...
...when you were off school for a week?
Were you playing games?
But, you're also doing soccer, right?
I was looking at you a while ago and you seemed like you were enjoying it!
I'm not doing any clubwork.
My mother died.
During the entrance ceremony.
And back at home...
...I was absent during the funeral.
I did promise mom that I won't participate in any club.
Sorry. I said something weird.
It's not a strange thing.
Me too...
...I'm sorry for asking.
The day of the entrance ceremony...
When the letter said that we shouldn't invite him out...
...could it be?...
Let's get back home.
And once again, I am... going to repeat the same old regret!
Kakeru!
I made...
...some bento.
I actually wanted to give this to you during lunch break, but...
I'll bring one again tomorrow!
Tomorrow, the other day, every day!
I really was... actually expecting....
...that you'd bring some...
That's why I'm really happy!
Thank you, Naho.
He almost cried.
I didn't think that the bento I wouldn't have given to him would make him this much happy.
The things that I'm good at...
Tamagoyaki, perhaps?
Tamagoyaki?
Kakeru's smile will remain...
Even after 10 years...
Forever...
Do come in.
He is so cute.
The truth is that...
...we planned to come here more earlier.
But...
After that, we...
...couldn't get hold of each other.
I always got into a fight with Suwa...
...and with Hagita, it'd end halfway.
That always happened even back before.
But...
When Naho gave birth to her child...
We wanted to meet each other again.
We've never done it before until now...
...and with Kakeru, we wanted to talk to him properly, too.
Those times...
Kakeru...
...got troubled and died afterwards.
Please tell us.
Was that really...
...just an accident?
I think...
...It's already hightime I told them about the truth... Kakeru.
Kakeru on his 17 years old in Autumn...
...passed away on an accident.
We all chased after the promise we made with him.
What we regretted the most is that...
...we couldn't save Kakeru.
May 1.
One week passed by after he played soccer.
The soccer club that Kakeru joined in... he withdrawed from the club.
No matter how impossible, I wanted Kakeru to join a club again.
I really think that he wanted to join the soccer club.
I will save him.
Kakeru...
I will save you.
Naho, good morning!
You're here.
Morning.
Kakeru...
MORNING!
EVERYONE, LISTEN TO THIS!
Kakeru, as of today... has finally become an official member of the soccer club!
Oh, really?! My gosh! Congratulations!
I'm glad for you!
What?
Being persistent won't make you popular!
Why?
Did the future change?
Go, go go!
Oh, Kakeru, Kakeru, Kakeru~~~
Sorry!
-Excuse us. -You're good in soccer.
You came from Tokyo, right?
-Yes. -Me too.
-I see. -Ehh? Aren't they having a great mood there?
-Is she Ueda-senpai? -Right, right.
May 2.
During the time that Ueda-senpai is on a break, she will confess to Kakeru.
The two of them will start dating each other.
"I... About you, Naruse-kun..."
-I saw it! I saw it! -Why'd he forget about it?
Here.
-This one's good. -Sankyu.
Did you get confessed to?
-So cool! -Seriously?
-That's amazing. -So, you do have it in you.
Then? Whatcha gonna do?
After break, I will answer her.
Amazing! You're going at it fine!
-Yes. -Damn it all. Why does it have to be you?
-Even I at least could make contact--- -You're also cool, Hagita.
Kakeru, I'll pay you.
No, it's fine. You always do make me bentos. I'll give that to you.
Thank you.
Are you guys gonna go out?
-What're you gonna do? -Right.
-Well, I still don't know. -You still don't know and you'll never know!
I'm sure that in the letter...
Hello, Ms. Sato.
4th period.
I lend my pencil and eraser to Kakeru who forgot his pen case.
When you get it back... I want you to look inside the eraser wrapper.
For my own feelings...
...to be honestly expressed.
This really helped me a lot.
Naho, time to clean.
-Ehh? Is that so? -Hurry!
Let's go.
Cleaning~~~
-Sorry! I'll let you handle the rest! -Got it. Bye!
Hagita, come and help for once~
Hagita~~~
You think it's okay with me to go out with Ueda?
If you see it... it will probably change the future.
-Oh, it's youth! -Youth is is!
Naho! Come here!
-What? -It's Kakeru.
He got called by Ueda-senpai. Maybe she's asking for Kakeru's response.
Kakeru! How'd it go?!
Congrats! What happened to you?
-Hagita, you were a great help, huh? -Hagita, you do have me, right?
Shut up!
NO.
I'm sorry... My future self.
I wasn't able to erase one regret.
I'm sorry.
Morning.
You know what?
Oh, right!
I didn't make bento for you today.
You see... If I made one, it'd be rude to senpai.
Kakeru!
Good morning! Did you see my mail?
Mail?
I sent you a mail but you didn't reply so I was wondering what happened to you.
-Sorry, didn't see it. -Do look at it!
-Morning. -Hey.
What's wrong?
Please. When Kakeru calls out for you, I hope you answer him.
You shouldn't just wait..
I want you to express out to him using your own voice.
-When you go for a spike, do it slowly at first! -I see, I see!
Hey, Kakeru!
You know what? My friend from Tokyo will be coming over so do you wanna go home together with me?
Fine with me.
-Really? Don't you have something else to do? -Not really. Why'd you ask?
You see, I just want you to come with me.
-Are you okay by yourself? -I do have an umbrella.
It's fine, right? You see, there's also that one too.
Naho.
I have something to tell you.
Bye-bye.
I want to call out to him using my own voice.
Kakeru!
That hurt.
Naho?
Hey, Kakeru!
Are you okay? Are you injured?
I was the one she bumped into!
Why don't you watch out?!
You don't have to talk to her like that!
What are you getting mad at me for?
This girl here was the one who crashed into me!
I'm so sorry.
Please excuse me for that.
Naho!
Don't run away.
If you ran away now, there's no way you can talk to Kakeru now, right?
But...
Kakeru already has Ueda-senpai...
I think it'd be good to talk it out with him.
You're friends, right?
This is kinda problematic.
That guy rarely attends soccer club rehearsals.
He can't concentrate well enough on practices.
He did want to talk to you but...
...but he was having problems on how to communicate with you.
Kakeru did?
I was properly looking straight into Kakeru.
I was supposed to regret this...
...to my 10 years from now self in the future.
I should have talked to Kakeru with a lot of things...
Right now, Kakeru is over there.
I should properly be able to speak my voice until it reaches him.
Kakeru!
For this other day...
Even though you called out to me... I'm sorry for not answering you.
What do you want to tell me?
Tell me anything! I'll listen to you.
I...
...thought of wanting to break up with her.
Ueda-senpai...
From the start, I thought she was a great person when we started talking.
I just thought something was off.
But...
You did both go out for a while now...
You should get to know each other m---
"No".
Didn't you say it yourself?
Moreover...
I...
...have somebody I'm more interested over Ueda-senpai.
Is she the person you like?
It's a secret.
Bye!
He escaped!
If ever Time Traveling becomes possible... What are your thoughts?
During Chemistry... Nakano-sensei had something to tell us in addition.
That is... about Time Traveling.
For example...
If you time travel to the past world and you happen to kill your own parent...
What will happen?
If your parent wasn't there, you wouldn't be born, right?
But if by that time you're gone, the you who killed your parent won't no longer be there, right?
Oh, right. I see...
-This is so complicated. -Use your head and search for more answers.
As of now, we still can't recognize that possibility that Time Traveling will be effective.
But there is a theory that is based on improbability, but still possible facts.
If ever...
...time passes by...
...and at one point of that time something would happen...
Right there...
...a new dimension will part away.
The previous world will turn over, and a new world will be born.
This is what we call "Parallel World."
"Parallel World."
In this new world where a new alteration happened...
...nothing will ever change from the original route.
So if time traveling exists, there should be evidences of parallel worlds.
-Sensei... -Yes?
So if you are able to time travel and go to the past, no matter how much you change scenarios and open a new world...
In the end, you can't still change the situation that's happening currently, right?
That's right.
Then...
Even if I do save Kakeru...
The future me who gave me a letter, her world won't ever change.
The regrets of my future self...
...won't disappear.
Cultural Festival.
The last time I watched the launching of fireworks...
...was when only I and Kakeru were at the pool, watching above the sky.
At least only that memory... Let it remain.
Naho...
If you were to choose from the future and the past...
....where do you want to go?
The future, perhaps?
I wonder just what kind of future...
...could I be able to change right now?
How about you?
The past.
I wanna erase my remorse.
By remorse...?
What is it?
What's next for class?
Kakeru.
Um...
This coming school festival...
For the last time...
...fireworks...
At the end of the day, there's going to be fireworks...
Let's watch it together?
Let's go, with everyone else.
That's not it!
Just the two of us.
Don't squirt at me! You're ganging up on me!
July 1. Azalea Festival.
Today, we went out with everyone.
Tonight...
I'm going to watch the fireworks with Naho just the two of us.
Cool with that?
Why you asking me?
You should go!
Naho will be delighted.
The afternoon's ending.
And so...
Is it time to announce who's going to become Ms. Tsutsuji?
Totally!
-We should! Are you anticipating?
We are!
-YOU ARE?! OKAY! -YES!
It's 3rd year, class 2: Rio Ueda!
APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!
-She got that title. -She is cute.
Stand in front.
RIO!
More farthest to the center...
Well then, Ueda-san. A word of appreciation.
Yes! I'm Ueda Rio. I'm really thankful for you people who chose me!
APPLAUSE! The best!
So... Where should we watch the fireworks?
At the pool!
I thought so too, myself.
Any moment now... the launching of the fireworks will begin shortly.
Let us all watch the fireworks... and get all fired up!
Oh! A second year.
Good timing. Can you bring this over to class 2 of the third years?
We don't have enough time any more.
Umm, I'm sorry. Right now, I...
We'll let you handle it, okay?
We'll leave it to you. Bye.
The last time I watched the launching of fireworks was when only I and Kakeru were at the pool, watching above the sky. At least only that memory... Let it remain.
What should I do?
Naho! What are you doing?
Azu! Taka-chan!
Hurry and get away from here.
You're going to watch the fireworks with Kakeru, right?
Kakeru?
Sorry...
...for being late.
It's over.
It's so pretty....
Naho...
I'm glad I watched the fireworks with you.
This day, I...
...will never ever forget.
Today...
...is completely a happy day.
Those words that Kakeru said...
...I will never ever forget.
Where's the others?
Ah... Suwa and Hagita said they can't come.
...and Azu too.
Did Taka-chan said she can't come too?
Right.
We're fine with just us.
Let's go?
You look cute.
This is so big!
-Thank you so much. -Yes, do come again!
Thank you so much...
-This is amazing.
Know what? The Taiyaki around this prefecture, even with ice, it still tastes good.
Let's eat.
It tastes good.
Delicious.
Is your feet getting tired?
Well, a bit. But I'm fine.
Wanna sit somewhere?
It's a BonBon.
I also did that when I was young.
Kakeru... Don't let go, okay?
You like it, huh? Right?
Kakeru?
What's wrong?
Let's go.
What did you ask for?
Nothing...
If it's about wishes...
...I want to call out to my mom.
If it's God...
...I know it'd reach my mother.
What...
...did you call out for?
It's a secret.
I wasn't able to change anything at all.
I want to properly hear him out about his mother...
Kakeru?
About your mother...
I said it's a secret.
Then...
About your regret...
...is it because you were not able to save your mother?
If I told you...
You'll end up hating me too.
I won't! I promise.
During the entrance ceremony...
...I made a promise.
A promise?
Mom's...
...health hasn't been going that well...
We were going to a new hospital...
....and I was supposed to come with her.
Mom...
Emotionally speaking, she's been unstable.
It's become too difficult for me too.
We'd get into fights for no reason.
But...
...I was glad that everyone was supporting me on.
That's why, at that time...
I thought she was being annoying.
MOM: Where are you now? I thought you're going home straight. I keep on texting you but you won't answer.
I sent her a message of not interfering with me.
And just like that, I never got a reply from her.
I didn't think she could commit suicide that easily.
If I looked at her more properly...
If I looked at her...
...much more closer than I could...
I could have...
...have been able to save Mom.
That's why, before...
I told her I was sorry.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
That's just...
Sorry.
I wasn't able to do anything.
What did I mean by saving Kakeru?
I want you to ask him about his mother. I think his regret was not being able to save her. Save him from that regret. If you can do that, you can probably prevent the accident.
What does she mean by Kakeru's accident?
Grandma... I'm sorry...
If something happens to me...
....tell everyone it was an accident.
I want to say sorry for going over to where mom is.
Kakeru...
He decided by himself...
...and rode onto the truck's path on his own.
What a fool he is.
I wonder why he would do such a thing, though.
You just can't erase the darkness just by worrying over it, huh?
We heard everything about Kakeru from his grandmother...
...that it was not because he died of an accident...
...but of suicide.
We only have but one regret.
It is that of letting Kakeru die.
Even if it was an accident, we still won't be able to save Kakeru...
We wanted him to let us carry his troubles with us.
We don't want him to choose death as his resolve.
Please...
I want you to save Kakeru's heart.
Even if you say that it's all for my sake...
Why are you always deciding things on your own?!
What part of me don't you understand?!
Can you at least act as a mother for once?!
Why are you crying?!
It's my fault...
I'm sorry for raising my voice...
Kakeru...?
I'm sorry too, Kakeru.
You don't have to.
It was my fault, okay?
I'm always causing you too much interference, right?
-That's not true! -I'm sorry.
That's not true, okay? Don't cry.
I'm sorry, Kakeru. I'm sorry.
Mom...
December 31. We heard everything about Kakeru from his grandmother...
Calling: SUWA
Sorry for suddenly coming.
Recently, Kakeru hasn't been attending club rehearsals.
I thought you must know something.
What's wrong?
It's about Kakeru...
I want to consult you about something.
A letter...
Either you believe me or not...
...I really don't know...
But...!
Naho.
It's fine.
Don't worry.
It reached me...
...the letter.
To Suwa Hiroto.
To my 16 year old self... How are you?
Right now, I am writing a letter to you from the future.
To the 16 years old you... I have one important favor for you.
Please, to the me right now.... I want you to erase the regrets we carry on us.
But I read this letter after the entrance ceremony.
I couldn't make it come true.
That's why Kakeru...
...got admitted to the soccer club.
So, you were the one who led him, right?
Oh?
The continuation?
It's fine, I left it back home. There wasn't anything important on it.
Let's save Kakeru.
Without fail.
This one too... Help me fulfill this.
September 14.
This day is Kakeru's birthday.
He didn't say anything and everyone didn't know about it so ...
That's why...
-Kakeru~~~ -Kakeru! We heard that your birthday's coming.
Is there... something you want?
Is there?
Just before his birthday comes... ask him what presents he wants to have...
-What? -Then, how about Matsumoto's soccer team?
-Matsumoto Yamaga? -That's it!
Hagita-kun... I liked the manga you were reading, but I'm not asking you to give it to me...
What? I told you it wasn't a gift. How stupid.
Suwa! Let's go to soccer practices!
Wait up!
Kakeru...
You always use that bag, right?
It's really fine. You don't have to give me a gift.
No, no! That's not it! I tell you!
Really. I'm sure. That's not it, okay?
Go to club practic---
I said I don't really want anything. It's the truth.
You should have something you want, right?
Okay, fine! Something you want so much right now.
Say anything.
Well... Something I like the most...
Kakeru...
Happy Birthday...
The promise we made about getting together...
...we are sorry we weren't able to fulfill it.
September 14.
Today is Kakeru's birthday.
-I can't see! I'm scared! -Come on! Move forward more!
-I'm scared! Suwa! -Stop, stop!
One... two... three...!
-One more step! One more! -One more? Okay...
Ready, go!
Kakeru...!
For your 17th year...!
Happy birthday!
Thank you..!
-Let's begin! -17 years old...
Here, Kakeru! A gift from us!
Here!
-A ticket for for the soccer game? -Why'd you know?
-Come on, come on! Why'd you know about it? -Thank you!
Kakeru...!
This is a present from me...
Don't get shocked.
Manga?
-Good thing you knew. -Thank you!
The me on that time...
The me on that time... I wonder why I couldn't cheer on properly for Naho and Kakeru.
And this is... from me.
Here.
That's big!
But when Kakeru passed away...
...Naho was on the verge of collapsing those times when she cried.
Why didn't I...
...properly look at those two?
I really regretted it a lot.
-This is amazing! -That is so great!
-This is so awesome! -That looks so cool!
Try putting it on!
-Wow. -You're looking great!
Thank you... I'll treasure it.
Suwa?
-That guy ran away, huh? -That sly one!
-I didn't run away! -You didn't bring a gift, did you?
I did so.
-What are you--- His boyfriend? -You look so funny!
Shut up! It's his idea! Kakeru said so...
I said it was a joke!
I give this to you.
-HAPPY BIRTHDAY! -Let me go, let me go.
Don'tcha run away.
Somehow...! For a bit! Umm...
-Well, you know... that one... That one... -I forgot!
Not being able to look after the girl I like...
It may feel sad for you, but...
But, I...!
Still do have soccer.
Please...
For Kakeru and Naho...
I want you to see the feelings that those two have for each other.
Naho...
Here.
I'm giving this to you.
Why...
...give it to me?
"Why?"
It's because... I just wanna give it to you.
Sorry if it's not something I bought myself.
But...
My feelings...
...it's fine if you notice them.
An answer...
I don't need an answer...
So, please I ask this of you...
So that I can see Naho and Kakeru smiling ten years from now and then in the future.
I leave the two of them to you... okay?
Kakeru...
Happy birthday.
Here.
From Kakeru.
Why give it...
...to me?
"Why," you ask...
Notice it already.
After all... Kakeru and I...
...in the end, we weren't able to talk to each other that much.
I just one-sidedly---
Kakeru had always been...
...in love with you, Naho.
Then...
....a bouquet of flowers.
A bouquet of flowers?
-Are you fine with it? -Yup.
If I receive it... I'll give it to Naho just as it is.
We all knew about it, though.
October 1.
During PE class, everyone's times were recorded in the 100 meter dash.
This was in preparation for choosing the participants for the athletic festival relay.
6 students from our class will be participating.
The most fastest runner in class was Kakeru so he got chosen to play as the anchor.
But on the day of the festival, during the relay...
Kakeru is running the lead when he suddenly...
...twists his ankle and falls of the ground.
Kakeru feels that he was to blame for losing.
Anchor?
I don't really hate the idea.
Well, but... umm... The relay is really hardwork! You don't have to force yourself.
For Kakeru's sake...
We want you to withdraw him as a member of the relay.
-I said it's really gonna be hardwork! -I said I'll be fine, okay?
You'll get pressured! The pressure is too alarming!
What should we do?
Is this really fine as it is?
Right now... the future is already starting to change away from the reality in the letter, right?
Little by little...
Probably...
What we have been able to alter up until this moment...
Maybe by now, there must already be a new future, right?
A new future?
For the us who are born in this world will only have a new future ahead.
If that is so...
Then just blindly following the letter may be futile.
What should we do?
What are you guys talking over there?
Nothing.
We just thought about how to take Kakeru out from the relay.
Why not just let him play?
Kakeru did say he wants to play.
It's strange for you guys to be talking in secrecy.
Did something happen to Kakeru?
Naho.
Why don't we tell everybody?
What's this about?
I received a letter...
...from my future self 10 years from now.
Kakeru...
...I want us all to save him!
That letter...?
What do you think about it?
There's no way she can get a letter from her future self. This isn't a manga, after all.
Just shut up, Hagita.
More like... I was a bit shocked a bit, you know?
More like you were extremely shocked!
Shut up!
But...
Naho and Suwa... they both had such a serious look on their faces.
I don't believe that a letter from the future could reach us over here.
But...
"But?"...
Then... next let's decide for the relay game members.
Well, we already Naruse Kakeru as our first member to participate in the game...
How about the others?
You know Takayan? He's fast in soccer.
Akari. You're quite fast when it comes to running, right?
-You should participate. -No, no.
I will run...
...with Kakeru.
Suwa is indeed fast too, right?
Me too!
I wan to run...
...together with Kakeru!
Takamiya-san?
Sensei!
I will participate too.
Sensei!
Me too!
This is kinda rare for you guys to volunteer...
This is Kakeru's first athletic festival after he transferred...
So, I thought it'd be fun to do it together.
No, no. For Hagita to volunteer...
It's gotta be impossible.
Hagita~~
I don't believe that a letter from the future could reach us over here.
But...
"But?"...
I can believe in Suwa and Takamiya, though...
Probably.
I also...
...want to run with Kakeru.
I'm not that confident though, but...
The anchor is Kakeru.
So we'll pass of the baton to each other until it reaches him.
For sure!
Get at it! You do have it in you, guys!
Today...
...we chose a different path that differed from the letter.
You do remember the promise, right?
I'm going to treat him for free bread at our bakery in every person he passes...
That's great! That sounds much better.
-Are you guys going out? -No way!
-"No way," he said. -The two of you suit each other so a kiss won't hurt, right?
It's fine! It can't be helped so here!
-This isn't a punishment game! -Punishment game?!
Why don't you give Kakeru a reward too, Naho?
During the athletic festival... Kakeru didn't seem to be active all throughout the event.
Kakeru hid the truth about his mother and told us that his mother was working.
At my place?
I don't think they're coming.
My father divorced my mother back when I was still young...
And my mother... she has work today.
Kakeru?
What happened?
It's nothing.
The Bou Taoshi was so amazing....
-Did you see Suwa there? -I did, I did!
Takamiya, Naruse. Can you help me out for a while?
-Okay. -Okay.
You fine?
Kakeru?
Are you okay?
You don't look well.
Nothing much.
This is really quite heavy. Let's put it down for a while.
You stupid fool. Tell us that you were injured!
Injured?
Kakeru...
Is the athletic festival... boring?
We all talked about how you're not quite feeling well.
What happened?
If you're feeling troubled... Tell us.
Tell us about your troubles.
Sorry.
I...
...lied.
The fact is that my mother's no longer here.
She died.
I thought that mom was looking at me from somewhere...
She might be depressed wherever she is so...
I just feel like I can't go on laughing and be happy.
That's why... I couldn't tell you guys about the truth.
If your mother is looking at you somewhere..
...wouldn't she prefer to see you smiling?
I know your mother wants to see you smile, I think.
Go and treat your feet first.
We'll do the rest.
But...
Just go!
If it gets too heavy...
...you don't have to strain yourself to carry the whole thing..
We're all here.
So, you'll be fine.
We don't think you're a burden at all.
Thank you.
-Good luck! Do your best! -Do your best!
I hope for Kakeru...
Suwa!
...to laugh from his heart.
Ready!
The game has began.
Number 6 dashes his way onto the leading line!
He is so amazing! Oh, gosh! Cool!
Following him behind is Number 1.
Suwa!
Pass me a message onto Kakeru!
Go, Takano!
Number 6 is leading!
Number 2 is getting past Number 6!
Number 6 looks like she's not losing too!
-Get at it, Takano! -Good luck, Takano!
Go, go!
Taka-chan!
Pass me a message onto Kakeru!
Number 3 has passed through Number 6!
Azu!
And now Number 1 has caught over to Number 6!
Pass me a message onto Kakeru!
As of now, three is leading!
As expected, he's not good at this!
HAGITA! DO YOUR BEST!
Pass me a message onto Kakeru!
Thank you... everyone!
I won't be able to do anything all by myself...!
-Go, go! -Naho! Good luck!
Let's change the future, guys!
Kakeru! This is from everyone!
WE'LL FULFILL...!
THE PROMISE...!
THAT WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER...!
EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS...!
TOGETHER WITH EVERYONE!
WE'LL BE WAITING!
KAKERU...!
OH! And the anchor Number 1 leads the line!
And Number 6 is catching up so fast in no time!
I will run... with Kakeru.
I will also participate.
Me too...
Same here.
And me too...! I also want to run!
...together with Kakeru!
If it gets heavy, you don't have to strain yourself to carry the whole thing.
We're all here.
KAKERU!
KAKERU! KAKERU! GO!
We have reached the last 2 laps of this relay!
Now Number 6 has caught up!
GET AT IT! GET AT IT! JUST LIKE THAT!
Finally! The last lap!
WE'RE WINNING THIS!
Is it red? Is it blue?
WE DID IT!
KAKERU!
WE DID IT!
SO GLAD WE DID IT!
The future will change...
...immensely.
Kakeru... What happened?
That time at the Bou Taoshi.
I have band-aids.
Wait a while.
Does it hurt?
No.
'Kay... It's done.
I've had my reward.
Thanks.
Just like that one...
-That's great. -Seems good.
Naho...
Let's go?
Wanna come with us?
We're buying ice cream.
I wanna come!
-Two Years Shrine Visit? -Right.
It's called that because you visit the Shrine before New Years Eve and stay until New Years day come.
Where should we go? Yohashiro Shrine?
It's kinda questionable?
And also, when the time comes, we'll go to Koboyama next time and view the cherry blossoms, Kakeru.
From there on, the scenery looks really beautiful!
You'd see the cheery blossoms covering all over the city...
And the sky will also look like a shade of orange!
Wanna see that!
But we have to climb the way up, though.
There's also the Flower Clock Park where we can meet each other.
For 71 years, this place holds many historical records.
Matsumoto is actually the prefecture of Kumi Yokoyama, a japanese football striker.
Let me finish until the end.
Don't mind, Hagita!
Kakeru! You should come too!
Just like this...
It'd be fine if we can at least make a future that differs from the letter.
December 31. We heard everything about Kakeru from his grandma.
December 21.
I got into a fight with Kakeru.
Until the very end, I wasn't able to say my apologies.
And Kakeru just suddenly died.
It's not good if you don't reflect.
If i get back home, we'll go together.
Don't go outside.
I get it.
You shouldn't get into...
...a quarrel with him.
Kakeru?
What happened?
My grandma's health... got worse.
What happened to your grandma?
She's not feeling quite well...
She needs to get admitted for further observation.
When grandma passes away...
...I'll be all alone.
I'm sure that in the letter... we were able to see his grandma.
Then, she'd still be there after 10 years!
It'll be fine.
I know your grandma will be fine, so...!
She won't leave you behind! I'm sure!
What makes you think that?
Why?
I though she was fine.
That time with mom, too...
It was also the same during the entrance ceremony!
Saying that it'll all be fine, as if you know! Don't decide that so easily!
Sorry.
Wait!
Don't come!
Sorry.
Leave me alone.
I wasn't able to change it.
Kakeru!
Kakeru..!
Kakeru...!
December 25.
-Morning! -Morning.
Morning. We met at the shoe locker.
We still haven't made up after that but... Kakeru treated me just like always and said "Good morning."
Good morning.
Kakeru said that it was cold.
Today seems cold, huh?
I did so too.
I answered that is was cold.
It is, isn't it?
After that...
...it was the last talk I ever had with him.
Kakeru!
-Next is biology. Come on. Let's go.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Kakeru noticed that I was wearing a wrong sized shoe and told me that I shouldn't suppress it in.
He told me that he was also properly looking at me...
At least only that memory... Let it remain. The time I watched the fireworks with Kakeru at the pool.
KAKERU
Hey...
A letter...
Want to write one?
For the us in the past.
Bye-bye.
Kakeru!
Umm...!
Sorry. Let's talk next time.
I want to talk to you right now!
I don't wanna...
...regret anymore!
About this other day...
I want to apologize.
Saying such insensitive things about your grandma...
I'm sorry.
It's my line.
I hurt you.
I'm sorry.
I didn't... direct it at you.
It made me remember the entrance ceremony, too.
Let's stop this talk, after all.
I'm going.
Wait!
Love...
I love you, Kakeru...
So that I'll always be able to save you anytime...
...I want to stay by your side.
If I stay by your side...
...I will hurt you again.
Even so... I still want to remain beside you.
But, if I hurt you...
...I won't be able to forgive myself.
I'm afraid that you might hate me.
I will never hate you, Kakeru...
That's why, tell me...
...all about yourself.
Your interests...
What you dislike--- Everything!
It hurts...
A reason to live...
...I lost it.
When I'm alone...
...I end up throwing everyone out.
Naho...
...and everyone...
I can't forgive that person who is me.
That kind of "me"...
...I hate.
At this rate, I'm no good.
I want to become strong...
I want to be happy.
You can... be happy.
Let's live together.
If there is a parallel world...
...these letters will be able to save Kakeru in another world.
I hope it reaches them...
...the "us" in the past.
I'm sure it will reach.
Definitely.
December 31.
Today...
It will be fine if what's in this letter didn't occur.
Naho... From Kakeru.
Kakeru. Sorry for the sudden text. Tonight, let's all meet up at the Flower Clock Park for a shrine visit. See you there! reply: OK. I'll be looking forward.
I'm going to stay here, after all. You know your way around here already so you can go by yourself. Don't get in my way.
I give this mail to you
Kakeru...
I'm sorry.
There are a lot of things I wasn't able to tell you.
Back when you were still small...
I undergo a divorce.
Without any explanation, I'm sorry for deciding on my own.
Your father would often... raise his hands at you.
I only wanted for you alone not to get hurt.
And so...
I got divorced.
And also...
The fact that you were not able to make some friends at your school back in Tokyo...
I was really worried.
In your club...
It also didn't go smooth between you, your classmates and your seniors.
I noticed it.
If you changed school...
I wonder if I'd be able to save you...
That's why I decided to move us to Matsumoto.
In order not to make you experience the bad things again...
...I told you not to join any club.
I was worried if you could make great friends.
But even doing that...
I... just decided on it by my own again.
I wanted to properly convey my feelings to you...
...but we weren't able to talk at all..
I regret that the most.
I...
...always thought of prioritizing what you always felt, but...
In the end...
The one who hurt you the most was...
...me.
Kakeru?
I...
...want you to be happy.
I pray that from the bottom of my heart.
I'm sorry for being in the way...
Forgive mom, okay?
The person you're calling right now is unattended.
I can't get to him.
He won't answer.
Let's try going over to his house.
Okay!
Well after taking a bath, he went out right then.
Let's search for him! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Kakeru...
Suwa!
Did you see him?
He's not here.
Hello?
Hagita? Did you find him?
He's not here at the intersection.
Azu!
-Did you find him? -No!
Where is he?!
Kakeru!
Right around this area, did you see a highschool student in his bike?
Kakeru!
Hello?
I asked someone here who saw someone who looked like Kakeru. We should look farther ahead.
-Got it. He said he's over there somewhere. -Kakeru?
Kakeru?
I am looking at you, Kakeru.
I am properly looking at you!
If it gets heavy....You don't have to strain yourself to carry the whole thing.
We're all here...
Kakeru...!
KAKERU!
Are you alright?
-KAKERU, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! -ANY INJURIES?!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!
I had to say sorry to mom....
"It's my fault. I'm sorry."
But...
I got scared for a moment...
If I died...
The memories... I spent with you guys...
...I wonder if they'll disappear?
From now on...
I want to make...
...more memories...
Is it still possible?
I thought I didn't want to die.
With everyone...
I want to stay with all of you...
We're glad!
I also want to be with you!
I want to talk to you more!
Tell us when it gets too hard for you...
You'll be fine...
I will protect you...!
Don't die, you fool!
My manga...
...I'll let you borrow as much as you can.
The ones that'll make you laugh.
You stupid b*stard!
I can't ever think about not seeing you again!
If you die, I won't ever forgive you!
I'm sorry, Kakeru...
Seriously...
You have something else to do, right?
Kakeru...
I love you!
Me too!
I love you, Takeru.
Me too!
Kakeru, I love you.
Lo...
Lo...lo..lo...
...love you.
You sound gross, Hagita!
Shut up.
I love you...
I really love you!
Me too.
I love everyone...!
That we all became friends...
...I thank you for that.
-Thank you, Kakeru. -Kakeru, thank you.
Thank you~~~
You really made us worry, stupid!
Thank you, Kakeru.
Thank you, guys.
A little more above here!
Hagita! Hurry!
Hagita, come on!
To the me in the future...
The me 10 years from now...
Thank you...
...for helping us save Kakeru.
Right now..
This very, very moment of our life...
With all of our lives being connected to each others...
For teaching and guiding me...
Thank you...
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING [I thought I wouldn't be able to finish this cuz' my tears got the better of me LOL]
