Original story by Lucy Maud Montgomery
AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
A Letter for Diana
It had been four weeks since Anne got hurt because of a dare.
She couldn't go to school yet, and it was difficult for her to leave the house.
What are you doing?
Dinner's long been ready.
Please, leave me alone for a while.
What's wrong? Is your ankle hurting again?
Diana didn't come to visit me again today.
It's been four days now.
Say, Marilla. Diana has always come to visit me after school everyday.
Do you think something has happened?
She must have had things to do.
She will come tomorrow.
What if... she doesn't like me anymore?
Anne, you shouldn't be imagining things like that.
Now come have dinner.
Diana must have made a better bosom friend than I.
Please, I really have no appetite.
Really!
Welcome back. Dinner's ready.
Yes. I just met Mrs. Lynde.
It seems Diana is...
What's wrong with Diana?
I know! I'll go see Diana now,
and ask her why she hasn't come for four days.
All right? You mustn't let Anne know about this, Matthew.
You're right.
If she finds out Diana has fallen ill in Charlottetown,
I don't know what she will do.
Diana is ill?
Why did Diana go to Charlottetown?
She didn't even tell Anne.
How should I know that?
What should we say to Anne if she asks?
Oh, Diana, If I had wings
I would soar to your side this very moment.
The way I am now, there's no way I could go to Charlottetown 30 miles away.
Diana, why did you fall ill?
Oboeteite Diana
Kono niwa ni afureteita hikari
Ribon no youna komichi
Futarino tenohira no nukumori mo
Wasurenai de Diana
Please, don't do that, Marilla!
If you are worried about Diana, why don't you ask Mr. Barry?
If she doesn't return from Charlottetown...
Please, Marilla, could you ask him for me?
Marilla, you'd better not go!
You'd better not go, Marilla!
My goodness!
I know you're worried about Diana, but please do calm down.
It shouldn't be a serious illness.
If it was, Mrs. Barry would be sure to inform you.
Dear Diana...
Do you remember the day we first met?
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Diana barry
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Anne Shirley
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
Do you remember the day we both vowed?
No matter how far the distance, I... I'll always be by your side.
I am your friend until death parts us.
Diana,
I only had imagined friends in the past.
I gave the one in the mirror the name Katie Maurice.
And when I lived in the mountains,
I imagined that the echo was a girl called Violetta.
But...
Katie Maurice and Violetta,
were both friends of the past.
Do you know why?
Because I've met you, my friend.
Those happy days we spent together will never come back.
Oh, Diana...
Please, Diana...
...get well soon!
Anne, the dinner is ready! Come down quickly!
I was calling you just now, at least have the courtesy to reply me!
What's wrong, Anne?
Really, that child.
I really have to go ask Mrs. Barry about Diana.
Mrs. Barry!
Anne, I'll leave the food here.
Eat or the soup will become cold.
With my mood now, I can't eat anything.
If you don't eat, you'll become ill as well.
If it is for Diana...
I would bear any pain.
Anne, I won't leave until you eat then.
Now it's the season for peaches and pears.
Hear the cries of birds from afar, the gathering of snow on mountaintops.
Life is slowly vanishing as the mountain gather snow.
What a wonderful poem. I feel so touched.
Life is slowly vanishing...
as the mountains gather snow.
Anne!
Although there should be time for relaxation.
Then let's see...
But... your spelling is disgraceful.
Everybody look!
How could you sit in for lessons like this?
Don't mind that, Anne.
The teacher is always like that.
You've always been by my side since I started school in Avonlea.
Oh! You've always were my most precious best friend.
Carrots! Carrots!
You mean, hateful boy!
How dare you!
Anne!
Anne, how could you?
I shall never forgive Gilbert Blythe!
You mustn't mind Gilbert making fun of your hair.
Why, he makes fun of all the girls.
He laughs at mine because it's so black.
He's called me a crow a dozen times.
No matter the case, you were always trying to help me.
And I've never done anything good for you.
Should a boson friend be like this?
And Anne Shirley...
What's that horrible thing in your hair? Take that off!
And since you seem to be so fond of the boys company,
we shall indulge your taste for it this afternoon.
Now go and sit with Gilbert Blythe.
What are you taking all those things home for?
I am not coming back to school any more!
But, will Marilla let you stay home?
She'll have to.
I'll NEVER go to school again.
You're mean, Anne! What shall I do?
Mr. Phillips will make me sit with that horrid Gertie Pye.
Do come back, Anne.
I'd do almost anything in the world for you.
I'd let myself be torn limb from limb if it would do you any good.
But I can't do this.
Right...
I never once did any of your requests.
When I think of it, my heart feels pierced.
Diana, forgive me!
Please, forgive me!
And even after that,
you visited me every day after school
to tell me about everything that was happening there.
The biggest thing that happened to us
was during the time I was absent from school.
It appears that something terribly always happen when I am happy.
That time I felt like I was in the depths of despair...
Would there ever be a more cruel punishment than not being able to communicate...
with your best friend next door?
Diana, what is the matter?
I'm... I'm awful sick. I must go right home.
That's enough!
It was Minnie May's Illness which saved me from the depths of despair.
We never know when something bad has good consequences.
I never dreamt that my experience with the 3 pair of twins would be of use here.
But besides saving Minnie May, even your mother changed her opinion of me.
If your mother hadn't, my life would have continued to be in the black abyss of despair.
Don't worry. The pressing need for assistance has past.
Minnie May...
Thank goodness, Minnie May!
Thank goodness!
We stood together facing so many things.
Anne! Anne!
Thank you, Anne!
Nothing in the world could ever separate bosom friends like us.
How did you fall ill?
With my leg like this...
...how am I to go 30 miles to Charlottetown?
If I won't be able to see you ever again...
Oh, Marilla, please leave me alone!
Let me cry all I want!
Oh, Diana!
Why have you left me alone?
Diana...
What's wrong, Anne?
Diana!?
Aren't you sick?
I just got back from Charlottetown.
Aunt Josephine was ill, so I went to visit her.
But her illness isn't serious.
Diana...
Diana!
I thought you wouldn't ever come back!
I wouldn't be able to live anymore!
Anne, really!
Anne, you can already walk without anyone's help.
You're right!
I'm so glad, Anne!
Thank you, Diana.
Diana came back from Charlottetown just in time.
Right.
In one day of Autumn,
Anne heard a wonderful plan from Miss Stacy for Christmas.
