Have you had nights when you can't fall asleep?
Didn't anyone's face appear in your mind?
Unforgettable memories and uncontrollable emotion.
Open the twelve doors named "bitter sweet feelings."
Before I shut my heart...
Sentimental Journey
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...
When we were both little...
...we could understand each other without a word.
That was the time when...
...we could believe in angels.
When you told me that you would break up with me...
...I couldn't look at you.
Please, come and see me.
I want to see your smile.
Please, don't forget your kindness.
Before I shut my heart...
Before the secret memories for just the two of us disappear...

Episode 5: Kaho Morii Friendship, Tsutenkaku Special
Hey girl, what are you doing here?
I'm starving.
Then, I'll take you to a good place.
Wow, you look like a professional, Kaho.
Don't be so pleased. Put oil in there!
I knew it.
Here you go! Energy pancake!
This is on me today.
You'll go through some hard practices before the next track meet.
This is on you?
No one should pay for this.
Isn't it right, Kyoko?
How dare you be mean to the poster girl?
What did you say to the first poster girl?
That was in the Edo period, wasn't it?
Hey!
Grandma, can three of us have a tatami room?
Yes.
Welcome to our place!
Listen, Kaho.
Because Okonomi Yaki cooking is easy, affection and timing are crucial.
Look closely.
Your cooking is great as usual.
Thank you.
Hey, Grandma.
Hm?
I want to eat the Tsutenkaku Special for once.
But you must finish that in 30 minutes.
30 minutes is impossible.
Since I'm Kaho's friend, can you permit me to take it back home?
No, no!
Tsutenkaku is the symbol of Osaka.
I can't sell it short.
Can we get it for free if we win the relay race at the next track meet?
No way!
The odds are too high.
But, it's okay.
Yeah!
Grandma, can we have beer?
Sure.
Kyoko, let's offer a prayer.
Huh?
O-okay.
What's the matter?
No...
No-nothing.
Then, let's offer a prayer.
Huh?
What?
I can't believe it.
Do you still offer a prayer to that?
Of course!
That's what motivates me to run.
It motivates you, huh?
I can't forget it.
No, I shouldn't forget it.
The memory of that day.
What are you doing?
I can't tell if you're walking or running!
You're slow like a turtle!
Come on!
You're an anchor, not a turtle.
I guess that's it!
But he said...
"I'll run. I can't give up now."
Then, he looked so cool.
I was convinced that we'd win the race with no particular reason.
But he moved away right before the race.
I couldn't pass him the baton in the actual race.
So when I sprint, I imagine I'm going to pass him the baton.
Oh, that's such a beautiful memory.
Hey!
You've told me the story so many times.
Oh. Re-really? Sorry.
You should forget that memory.
Why?
Ah. Um, that's...
Well...
Kyoko?
Because it's unrequited love.
Ah, you think so?
I don't care about that anyway.
Really?
If I'm supposed to meet him again, I'll meet him some day.
Or should I ask the good detective, Mr. Koeda to look for him?
Stop that nonsense.
They don't care about your tiny case.
What did you just say?
Stop it!
I mean it!
Anyhow, let's do our best at the track meet!
We'll definitely be selected to run.
Yeah...
You're not so sure?
Don't worry. You will.
See you tomorrow!
Oh no, I'm a real wimp...
Yatate, lhagi and Yoshii for 400-meter hurdles.
Sato, Akasaki, Morii and Hiyama for Relay.
Good luck to all the selected members.
Coach!
Hm?
What's the matter Hiyama?
Sorry. I can't go to the track meet.
Kyoko?
Explain it, Hiyama.
What's going on?
I'm transferring to another school.
No!
You're joking!
I couldn't tell you this before. Sorry.
Hiyama?
Kyoko!
Why?
Tell me why.
Sorry.
Don't say, "Sorry"!
My dad's company has decided to transfer him to another office.
Where?
Takayama in Gifu.
It's pretty far from here.
Dad told me that I could live here by myself.
But he has to live by himself, too.
The living expenses will be increased.
That's right.
We children have no right to make such decisions.
Kaho...
But I'll come along to your training sessions until I leave.
I'll be your coach!
I'll count on you, Coach Hiyama!
Huh, I see. You're going to miss her.
But I'll do my best at the track meet for Kyoko.
She must be having a harder time because she can't go to the track meet.
You're right.
So I have a favor to ask...
What is it?
Can you cook a Tsutenkaku Special for Kaho's farewell gift?
No way.
Why?
A rule is a rule.
You're stingy!
You're a fool.
Don't take it so seriously.
Huh?
I have to make myself look more important.
I had to say, "No" at first as a formality.
What is that?
You have to help me out.
It's gonna be a Special Tutenkaku Special!
OK!
Please let me win the race. I'm going to practice harder.
Her times are not getting better.
Hey, guys, practice one more time!
Oops!
Sorry.
Don't worry! Let's do it again.
I think everybody should try a little harder.
What do you think?
Don't you think that I'm running at my peak?
Yeah.
OK!
Let's practice handling the baton, Kita.
Yes!
Will you help me out, Seki?
Good.
She's doing great!
Keep up what you just did, Kita.
Yes.
OK.
I can't do it.
So sorry.
Are you scared of me, Kita?
No, not at all.
Yeah, I'm kind to you.
Well, we need more time and practice.
Ah, Kaho.
Huh?
Hmm...
What?
Er, hm...
Huh?
Frankly...
What?
I'll be packing tomorrow.
If you have time, will you help me out?
OK.
Oh, that's good.
Were you worried about asking me that?
Er, sort of.
Of course, I'll help you out.
Even though I'm very busy.
Are you trying to make me appreciate you more?
Even if I have a date, I'll go because you're my best friend, Kyoko.
Having a date is impossible for you though.
What did you just say?
No! What are you doing? Stop it! I'm ticklish.
See you tomorrow.
Ya, see you.
Oh no, I'm a real wimp...
Hiyama
Hey, this is really interesting.
Your album from junior high school.
Wow, it's been a while since I saw this.
Wow, this is your embarrassing picture!
What? Which one?
You're sleeping in bed.
Then I will show you this one!
It shows you when you had long hair.
Wow, that's pretty embarrassing!
I'll find more embarrassing pictures of you, Kyoko!
What's wrong, Kaho?
You still keep this?
Oh, that one.
It was taken when we went to Kyoto to meet him...
This brings back memories.
We were so young back then.
Don't feel bad about it!
We used to be so full of energy, didn't we?
That's why we could go to his new home.
What about now?
What?
Still now?
I lost this picture.
Really?
After all I have no picture of him.
But I always have him in my heart.
He always runs in front of me.
Kaho...
Wow, this is another embarrassing picture!
Your sweetheart, Mr. Tabuchi.
Oh, no. Don't look at that!
You wrote something down here...
I said, "No." Just stop it! So embarrassing!
Wow, this is a poem!
"To my sweetheart, Yoshida."
Is Yoshida his real name?
That's enough! Give it back to me!
Sorry. After all, all we did was eat cake and talk.
All went exactly as I planned.
Ouch!
I'm leaving by train tomorrow morning.
Is it the 8 o'clock "Azusa"?
No it's not. I'm joking.
Do you think that's funny?
It's the express train "Takayama" leaving at 7:57am.
I know it.
Bye.
I'll see you off at the station.
Oh, Kaho!
Oh no, no.
I almost started to cry, when I thought about tomorrow.
I must say "Good bye" to her smiling.
OK.
Kaho!
Kyoko?
Did I forget something?
It's me who forgot something.
And it's very important.
What?
Wh-what is it?
Kaho. You'd better forget about him.
What is it? All of a sudden...
Because of him, you can't hand over the baton well.
What are you talking about?
When you hand over the baton, you don't see the next runner.
You only see him in your mind.
Why?
I didn't notice it until I became your coach.
Teamwork is the key to the relay.
So...
Why?
Why tell me such a thing?
You know that I've been doing my best on the track because of him.
I know but...
I made it to the National High School track meet because he was in my heart.
You know it.
I know but...
Then, how can you say such a thing to me?
How can this be easy for me? Don't be silly!
You fool, Kyoko.
Go to Takayama or anywhere!
Fool!
You must have worked hard.
Thank you. "Rainbow Town, Moriya" is getting better.
That's good.
Should I come back here soon?
Kaho can't help you much, can she?
She's doing well, actually.
Where's Kaho?
Looks like she's having some trouble.
Some trouble?
Well, that can happen anytime.
I'll start preparing the Tsutenkaku Special.
Kaho!
The Tsutenkaku Special is ready.
I don't need it any more.
She's no longer my friend.
I see.
Oh, you poor Tsutenkaku Special.
Osaka Station
What's the matter, Kyoko?
Ah...
Kaho.
Is it really okay with you?
This time you're creating a memory that...
...isn't just yours alone.
Morii can't take your call right now.
Please leave your message after the beep.
Sorry, Kaho.
I know how much you cherished your memory.
I'm no longer qualified to be your friend.
I couldn't tell you my feelings for you at the end.
Sorry.
Kyoko.
Hello, Kyoko!
Kyoko...
We have no time to waste!
Hop in!
Grandma!
Sorry.
What do you think?
My driver's license is not just an ID!
Hold on!
What's this?
What's going on?
I have only 7 minutes.
Grandma, I'll run!
Kaho!
Bye now!
Do your best.
Platform No 11, the express "Takayama" is leaving soon.
I'll pay you later!
Wait!
Kyoko.
Kyoko!
Kaho!
Kyoko!
Kaho!
Here, Kyoko. Take your Tsutenkaku Special!
Kaho.
Remember this timing!
This timing?
Bye Bye, Kaho!
Bye Bye!
I'll do my best at the track meet.
I'll cherish my memory only in my heart.
On a holiday with lots of sunshine...
Let's go to the beach like we used to do.
The road that seems to continue into the sky...
Back then, I wasn't afraid of losing.
The ocean breeze is passing by and whispering to us.
Just keep on smiling Let's sing with a smile...
Tears shouldn't fill your eyes.
Just keep on smiling, be yourself and have a glow to your face.
Like a flower blooming on your face.
You handed me an apple gently with your white hand.
In a twilight at sunset, I fell in love with you.
I want to love you from my heart but I can't be separated from my body.
I don't know why, but my tears are falling.
