Stage Name Postcard from Miss Juliet
Impossible...
This will never happen...
I've already lived for 17 years without her...
Are you still unwillingly to come back?
I should forget about her
Nakamura
I heard that you've just given birth
I'm trying to plan you an insurance policy
I'm already insured
You must grab this opportunity to evaluate the policy again
Moreover, it was bought when you were newly recruited
Kobayashi, please leave me alone
How's the progress between you and Matsumoto?
There is nothing between us...
We are not as what you think...
Masumoto's urgent contact person called
Mr. Matsumoto disappeared all of a sudden
All the luggage were left in the hospital
Mum, where's Saku? Please don't worry about Sakutarou
I've no idea...
It has been 17 years since then...
Are you still unwillingly to come back?
I've left my hometown for 17 years
Time flies swiftly
There's no student with un-dyed hair
Walkman has evolved into MD Player
I'm searching for the place where I said goodbye to Aki
This is actually what I should do 17 years ago
I hope that there is still a place which will never change
Does that place still exist?
Aki confessed that she adore that place
"Crying out, in the center of the world"
Good morning, Saku
Morning...
Hirose
That...
Aki
Lend me your notes, I've forgotten to bring mine
Aki, faster
Saku
I like you, Saku
Brother
You are salivating soon
Goodnight, I'm Aki Hirose
You're shocked, aren't you?
3rd July
We'll be having cola cookies for dinner tonight
Our homemade cola cookies
customized to my dad's taste butter crab flavor
That's the reason why I could hardly try the typical fried potato flavor
I'd like to have cola cookies
Who do you think you are?
I would like to stay in library and enjoy the cola cookies bread with you
Cola cookies bread each for 120 yen limited to 30 pieces
Ryuunosuke
You have to pay
I'd like to pend a timetable for the performance before summer vacation
Hirose
Sorry, he wants to discuss about the
school's anniversary celebration with me
Oh really?
When will the practice end?
We'll be late today Don't wait for me
Don't wait for you?
Seriously don't wait for me, see you
According to my experience
Both of you aren't considered as into relationship
According to my experience, they aren't too
Do you have sexual relationship with your current girlfriend?
No way!
Have you done anything to Hirose, when you are with her?
We exchange diaries via recorded audio tapes
Exchange diaries?
What about kiss... ing?
Not yet!
Not yet Monk, you are very irritating
You are fooled by her, aren't you?
Really?
Precisely, you have been fooled by her
Definitely true
Shut up, Monk
Cool off, this is for you
The one who acts as Romeo will kiss her before you
There will be a kissing scene
He will look for us whenever he feels uneasy
Brother, you also have your problems
Saku
Please come over when you are on your way home today
We always go home together
You should confess your feelings to Ooki
What are you talking? That hairy guy? No, no...
Tomoyo, don't you like that type?
No way, you should know...
The fellow cannot survive without me since young
He can't even buy a cola cookie himself
I've already said that you don't have to wait for me
I'm getting the things I had forgotten
meanwhile, I'll wait for you
Are you guys seeing each other?
I'll see you off
Are you guys seeing each other?
Don't tell others
Why didn't you tell her that we are together
It is more exciting to keep it as secret
Have you ever experienced that?
You want to know?.
Forget about it
Do you want me to tell you my secret?
Come here, beside me...
I really don't know what he wants
Saku
Here...
So beautiful
Beautiful, isn't it?
I would like to come here frequently when I am alone
Beautiful, right?
Aki is more beautiful...
Why does the hydrangea possess blue and pink colors?
Hydrangea is an inconceivable flower
It will change its color according to the acidity of the soil
Hydrangea in blue is acidic
And hydrangea in pink is alkaline
When it's convenient
The soil that will ease in growing plants
seems the one with slight acidic nature
Same as for human being
Because human's characters are always changing with the dynamic environment
Yes, it's true
I don't want
Grandpa
Come here, beside me
Saku, to be frank...
Grandpa has something to tell you
I hope you can steal something for me
Someone's bone ashes
Steal a bit from the grave
I hope you can steal some bone ashes for me
Saku, this is not a big deal
Then you steal by yourself
How could grandpa do this
I can't do this too
Even if you're caught by others,
they'll take it as you're just playing a prank
No way
Don't you even care if grandpa is jailed?
Then, don't you care if I am jailed?
Wait, I will curse you when I die
I will curse your descendants too
Why would you curse your own descendent's?
I have never asked you not to look for a boyfriend
Just don't behave improper
Is talking on the phone an improper behavior?
You talked for 2, 3 hours
What if the fishing company call us urgently?
I want to talk to him even it's midnight
Darling, you should give her a lecture too
It's only chatting on the phone
You see...
Saku, you should advise your sister
So nice
So envious of your boyfriend
You talked until midnight these days, didn't you?
I could hear from your room all the while
Was it from radio? Aki
You listen to radio while studying?
That's English language audio tape
That's great if you're really studying
So...
At my point of view, I don't like Aki taking up Juliet's role
I can't accept kissing in the drama
What I am talking about?
What are you uttering about?
It hurt She is mine
You didn't even ask me what had happened
I have lost confidence in myself
Does Aki really like me?
I don't want
Although everyone has their own style in expressing their love
Regarding to today's discussion
We've to decide who's going to act as Romeo
Anyone would like to take this role?
Saku, aren't you interested in this role?
Anyone who like to take this role please raise your hand
I have someone to recommend for this role
Why don't we let both of our class monitors to take the roles?
Your relationship always looks good
I repeat, Anyone want to take Romeo's role?
You take it, by Tomoyo
Since nobody wants, then I...
I
I take it...
I want to take Romeo's role
Then raise your hand!
It seems like no one wants...
I have raised my hand
President, I want to be substitute
Substitute...
Romeo... I want to take this role...
Romeo...
Let Juliet choose her partner
How could this be...
I heard that both of you are already into relationship
No wonder
Then let both of our class monitors take the roles
You are angry
I am not
You are really angry
I wanted you to bring me to a place
Why do you want to come here?
Isn't she Miss Yatabe?
You are right
Who is he?
He is Ooki
Precisely
Miss, you are really sharp
Your discernment is indeed impressive
But you will divorce
This will be separated into two
Stop fondling my hand
Don't pretend that you didn't hear me
When will you stop playing a fool?
Who is this?
She is Inabari
By that time she should already be Nagata's wife
Grandpa's ex-girlfriend
In another world...
We sweared to be together forever
We met during the wars
She had a weak body, and was infected with Tuberculosis
While I became a conscript
We thought that before war end
We might not survive
But thanks to God
We were still alive when the war ended
But if I wanted to marry her
I have to spend an enormous sum to treat her Tuberculosis
Hence, I worked very hard to raise the needed amount
I had even done something bad
When I had earned enough money
I was jailed
When I was serving in jail
The treatment for Tuberculosis was published
and her illness was treated
Later, she was married to a guy who was chosen by her parents
Should I be happy or sad?
When I felt eager to see her
She died suddenly...
So...
At least for now I still have some of her bone ashes
Bone ashes?
After I've died, I hope that our ashes
can be put together... and scattered at some place
For this
I may be able in another world
to be with her forever
Cunning old man
What a great story Loving a woman for 40 years
But this disappointed grandma
Is it?
I feel that this an innocent love
Living together with the woman he likes,
Or keep the person he likes in mind But living together with another woman
Who is more fortunate?
It's easy to see each other's bad points when you are together
Are you talking about me?
This is not what I meant
After you've known the real me
You may dislike me too
Bye
You should help your grandpa
Bye bye
I broke up with my girlfriend some time ago
She told me it's tiring to be together
What a reason
Tiring? Why?
Why is it always so disappointing when you're truly in love?
Now I think about it calmly We only want to show our good sides
We did that reluctantly...
I have to work hard
Summer day
Winter night, hundred years later
back to home
Good morning, I'm Sakutarou Matsumoto
Good morning
Even though it is too sudden to say like this
But I would like to voluntarily to be supervisor
for the performance
I want to stop you from kissing others
Cola cookies bread are still waiting for you
In library
Saku
Ryuunosuke, what about the cola cookies?
Aki, are you seeing Saku?
Why do you ask?
I'm telling you...
Me and... Saku
Sorry, really...
What are you doing?
Saku, don't
Why you do this?
Recess is ending soon
Come back after school dismissal
This is only a misunderstanding
Matsumoto thought that Yasuura ride his bicycle off
Was that true?
Yes
I'm really sorry
Don't talk about this anymore
Why didn't you tell the truth?
I thought you know...
I didn't know
I totally don't know what is in your mind
Sakuu, listen to me...
I admit I'm petty
I don't want to see anyone touching you,
or chatting with you happily
You should try to understand how I feel
Monk admitted defeat
He said that he can't fight for Aki
What are you doing?
It's pointless
A kiss like this...
You should empathize Monk for his love been taken
Just tell us openly if you don't want to act
Juliet
I've promised already to act
Pig-headed
Saku said he wants to take the post of supervisor
But maybe he has already regretted
Let's go, grandpa
Let's go and steal bone ashes
Why do you want to go suddenly?
Because I'm not resigned to
let others seize our love
Mum, You went to my room?
Dad
Do you have time for relationship?
Dad, you always ask me to work hard
Why should I?
Aki
Till when?
Dad, how long do I need to work hard
Aki
Don't you think you are too much?
Here
Wait here
It's not a good idea to be harassed by ghosts
Let's worship together
I'm back
Grandpa...
We have never lived together before
Therefore, we have never talked about this
Grandma and Ri's grandma Who do your prefer?
I don't know either
No matter what
It is beautiful to leave the world with the one you love
This is how I feel
Thanks to her
for the chance for me to meet a wonderful driver like you
Yes, you should help till the end
She should have slept already
What are you doing?
I would like to look for you
I want to see you
There's something I want to show you
Me too
That's...
After you...
Then, we take out together
123
Dad threw my audio tape away
This is my reason
A lame reason, isn't it?
It'll be troublesome if problems arise
Hence, I could only lie in school or at home
Always with that silly smile
I'm disgusting
Is that bone ashes?
So beautiful
But I really don't feel like doing this
I want to tell you
My grandma was a fishwoman
She was dark and dirty due to her job's nature
She was tactless
Always condemn grandpa as a useless man
Grandpa retaliated by saying grandma is ugly
But I prefer you to be like that
No matter how dirty or cunning
All the flaws
I wish I can even like his wrinkles or even his dirt
So Aki, this includes you too
Maintain your original self
I don't mind your pimples below your nose
I don't mind
What about the boils on the legs?
I don't even mind your Athlete's foot
I don't have
Sorry
This is my first time to hear from someone
That it's fine for not working hard
And it's fine too for being my own self
Don't dislike me, Saku
Don't dislike me
Why not?
There're blisters in my mouth
And three other places...
I thought the distance between us will become nearer like this...
After 10 yrs, 20 yrs
Even 100 years later
Sometimes argue, sometimes be nice
But, comparing today to yesterday
Tomorrow to today, the day after tomorrow to tomorrow
It is natural that I love Aki more and more
I am sincerely thinking like this
Like the hydrangea Every year is bloomed here
The hydrangea this year is blooming as last year
But...
That day Aki and I saw no more pink hydrangea
All of them are bright blue
That's sober blue
The flower seemed like reminding me Aki is no longer live in this world
I am still unable to scatter the bone ashes
It's Saku
Saku
Why?
You still ask why?
You vanished in hospital so sudden
Of course I would worry for you!
Same as that time
That time I thought like that too
Nothing is impossible
Grandpa
Year 1987 I could not save the only one I love
Year 1991, Japan Marrow Bank was established
