Today we'll elect our committee members and decide on what to present at our Culture Festival.
Does anyone have any ideas?
No one?
Oh, dear.
We'll be in trouble if we don't decide it today.
I saw a video two years ago.
Kawai-san wrote the script for it.
It was fun.
Oh, that?
That was a masterpiece!
I saw it!
Me too!
It wasn't...
So, why don't we try letting Kawai handle it?
No objections here!
Same here!
But I...
I think it'll definitely be alright if Kawai handles it.
The Eve of the Cultural Festival!
You're such a pushover, Yuu-chan!
No one wanted to do anything for the cultural festival, so they're letting you handle it.
How can you smile like that?
Why do you ask?
Don't you know?
There's a legend at this school.
A legend?
That's right.
The students chosen for the cultural festival committee can't go to the high school they want.
O-Oh no!
There's a ghost.
Because they were busy preparing for the cultural festival, a girl couldn't pass her entrance exams,
so she jumped off the balcony and killed herself!
I've heard of that!
When you are staying late at school,
you can hear a girl's voice say "I'm not gonna make it! I'm not gonna make it!"
H-Hey!
Come to think of it, we're not allowed to stay late at school now.
Not you too, Rumiko!
That's not a legend, it's the truth.
We should be busy studying for exams,
but the committee members have to prepare for the cultural festival.
The school should think about us third-year students and stop having the cultural festival.
I'm not doing this because everyone asked me to.
I wanted to do something to make my three years at junior high meaningful.
And so I ended up doing something for the cultural festival by accident.
It's going to be tough for you.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Yuuko! Yuuko!
It's time for dinner, Yuuko!
Didn't you hear me before?
I'm busy right now. I'll eat later.
She said she's busy right now.
That's unusual. She skipped dinner to study for her entrance exams?
She's usually so carefree. I'm glad she's finally getting diligent.
It's too late for that.
Grade nine students are already in their second semester.
That's right.
She's like riding a racehorse just about to begin the final stretch.
I hope she doesn't fall off the horse.
At least she started studying.
I certainly hope so.
It's difficult to finish a script in one night.
Still, I chose to do this, so I have to do my best.

Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
As you suggested, I'd like to do a drama video for our cultural festival presentation.
Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
Well. If there are no objections, I'd like to talk about it with everyone right away.
We don't have much time before the Cultural Festival, so I'd appreciate your help.
Does anyone know how to direct a video?
Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
Hey, you like movies, don't you?
That doesn't mean I'll be able to make one.
She wrote the script, so why doesn't she direct it too?
Is there anyone from the photography club who can help me with the filming?
A video's not like a still shot.
Right?
Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
Hold it, everyone.
You just don't want to do anything, do you?
We don't have time to do a drama video.
You're the only one who wants to do it, right, Kawai-san?
Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
Don't be so unreasonable!
Taka-chan.
Cultural Festival Presentation. Love Story. Adventure.
We're too busy to make a drama!
I thought that everyone would work hard since they all asked me to do it.
It's kinda disappointing.
Kitano's got a point.
Not you too, Hiroshi-kun!
Everyone's studying for exams, so they don't have time for it.
Why don't you try to think of something easier, like a research publication?
No way! I can't lie to everyone.
Umm. If we have to do a video, why don't we do a documentary of our memories...
...of the three years we spent here instead of a drama?
If we ask everyone to help, I think we can get lots of interesting videos.
Well... I just thought we could...
That's brilliant!
We won't have to record as much.
We'll just need to put it all together!
A moving documentary of memories during our three years of youth at junior high!
That's my Hiroshi-kun!
Please lend us your memories!
Pleeease!
Please lend us some videos with your memories of the three years we spent at junior high!
Pleeease!
Please lend us some videos with your memories of the three years we spent at junior high!
Have you collected the videos?
Y-Yuuko?
Up here!
It'll be tough to watch them all.
I'm so happy I could scream.
May I help?
Actually, I'm also on the committee for the cultural festival.
The class asked me to do this.
The other year nine classes can't decide on what to present.
The teacher said that we can present everything on the behalf of all the classes.
I see.
That'd be great!
Let's all work together!
We don't have much time.
Yeah. I see your point.
Oh, so this happened during our camping trip in our first year.
Yeah.
It looks like I'm the only one in this video.
I-I suppose so.
Who lent this to us?

Yuu-chan! Wanna walk home together?
We've still got a lot of work to do.
You've got a mountain of videos here.
Are you preparing for the cultural festival?
Oh, hello, sir.
That's right.
I admire your enthusiasm, but school finished hours ago.
You should head home soon.
Oh no! Look at the time!
I'm sorry.
It went by in the blink of an eye!
Don't worry about this.
I'll tidy up here.
But...
Don't worry about it.
Thanks. See ya.
Bye, Miyau.
Goodbye.

End of Year Trip
So, how's the editing going?
Well, there was a nostalgic video, and I couldn't stop watching it.
Will you make it in time for the cultural festival?
I'm sure it'll work out somehow.
Will you be all right?
Come to think of it, there was a weird video there.
I was the only one in it.
It was pretty creepy.
I know! There's someone who had a secret crush on you for ALL three years at junior high!
No way!
That's just a coincidence!
Do you know who took that video?
It had close-ups of me as well, but I don't remember it.
17th Annual Shiomi Middle School Cultural Festival
Yuuko! Yuuko!
How's it going? Is it going well?
We've finished editing, but we need to put in the narration and the music.
Will you pull an all-nighter tonight?
There's one problem. I can't do it at home.
I have to use the editing room at school.
You can't do it while they're getting ready for the cultural festival.
Maybe the ghost will show up.
I'll ask for permission to stay late at school.
No.
Students are not allowed to stay after the school is closed.
But...
I won't make an exception.
Why is he so rigid with the rules?
That's a problem.
We can't finish the dubbing with the time we have after school.
How about making it a silent film and do the narration and have live music from an adjoining room?
It'll be just like the old days!
Sorry.
Is there any other way for us to use the editing room?
I heard that the night before the cultural festival, everyone worked like crazy to get ready.
So, why did they make that rule?
Rules are made to be broken!

Look at this.
This is a blueprint of the school.
It looks well-defended, but there are many entrances.
Hashimo, when did you research this?
During my three years at junior high.
I didn't waste any time.
Yeah, right.
Still, I don't think we should sneak into school.
Right, Kawai-san?
Let's do it.
What choice do we have?
Let's sneak in tonight and finish the video.
OK, Miyau?
O-Okay.
The two of us will pull an all-nighter tonight!
Just the two of us?
Oh, it's just you, Miyau.
Kawai-san.
Yo, Miyau.
Shiomi Junior High
Hi, Naganuma.
I thought you'd have trouble doing it by yourselves.
Isn't he sweet?
Shiomi Junior High
Yo!
Shiomi Junior High
I don't think you'd be able to get in without my help.
Why are you dressed like that?
We're not burglars.
You really think so?
Preparation's the most important thing.
Really?
Yuu-chan!
W-What are you doing here?
Don't be rude.
We came to help you get ready for the culture festival.
We brought some midnight snacks!
Oh, thanks.
But...
To be honest, Marilyn said that she wanted to see the cultural festival ghost.
If she really appears, we'll catch her and put her on display!
We're not gonna make it!
N-Not so loud!
The security guard might hear you.
Come on. Now's our chance.
Let's get in there while they're changing shifts.
What? We're going over this wall?
This is the easiest place to enter the school.
Really?
Don't give up now!
C'mon, Yuuko.
I can't reach!
Miyau, could you please push her up?
M-Me?
Please.
I-I guess I have to.
Geez, Yuu-chan.
You really need to lose some weight.
R-Ready when you are.
H-Huh?
Stop fooling around, Miyau.
You're slowing us down.
This window is always open.
Why did you find this out?
You didn't steal the exams, did you?
If you can enter the school at any time, and you think you can take the tests,
you can study for exams without worrying.
Get it?
Really?
The school seems really spooky at night.
We're not gonna make it!
Keep it down!
You'll wake the security guard!
S-Sorry!
You don't need to apologize. Anyone would have covered her month.
Marilyn scared the life out of me!
I didn't think you'd be so scared.
What'd you expect!?
I think it'll be OK.
The security guard's patrol is half-over.
He's probably sleeping like a log right now.
You've really done your homework.
I've underestimated you.
We're not out of the woods yet.
Language Laboratory Audio Visual Editing Room
We finally made it.
It's locked.
Our efforts have been in vain.
What can we do?
But...
Hashimo... Is that.
Well, I made an imprint and had a copy made.
You've gone too far!
What can I say? I'm a perfectionist.
What?
What's wrong?
That's strange. It's not working.
What?
It's the ghost!
N-No way!
It's here!
O-Oh no!
Good grief! What are you doing here at this hour?
Oh, it's the security guard!
Oh, it's just the security guard.
It's all your fault, Marilyn!
What time do you think it is?
Go home immediately.
U-Um. Well. We. The cultural festival committee... editing... the video... um... well...
We couldn't finish the video for the cultural festival in time.
If we don't finish it tonight, we won't get it done in time for the presentation!
I'll tell the teacher about this later.
Go home.
Please let us do it.
We have to summarize our three years at this school for the cultural festival.
We can't do a half-hearted job!
Please!
Please! Please!
Please!
Please! Please! PLEASE!
Please!
I feel a little sleepy.
If I tell them I saw the ghost, I'd get fired.
Sir.
Come on, let's start the editing!
Yeah!
We'll do anything we can to help!
Then, can you decorate the classrooms?
We haven't prepared any of that.
OK!
You two continue the editing.
Yeah!

Each moment is a very precious, unforgettable memory.
Farewell, Shiomi Junior High.
We did it!
We finally did it!
This is great! It's fantastic! It's a complete success!
That was fun.
Yeah.
It's too bad that we couldn't catch the ghost.
I'll never forget what we did today.
It's not all that.
Yes, it is.
Our time at junior high will never come again.

From whence did you come?
You appeared before me like a midwinter shooting star.
If I tell you my wish before you disappear, will you make it come true?
I can feel your breath.
The cold air grants me bliss.
My feelings for you bloom from my small breast, and I feel faint.
I wonder, has my season finally come?
