She's coming! Kaoru's up.
Okay.
Going tonight too?
Yeah.
Ever night! Anybody show up?
Well...
So, why bother?
I don't mind.
Well, since I'm free today,
maybe we'll go watch.
Do that, you die.
Got it.
Check sunrise time?
Yeah.
That answer won't do.
It's 4:40 AM.
So, be home by 4:00 AM.
I know that.
Don't go far, okay?
Alright.
So, let's eat.
With thanks.
Look, she must be a minor.
It's so late. We'd better check.
No, she's okay. Her parents explained.
Explained what?
They said it's called "XP",
It's genetic, like an allergy to UV where sunlight can kill.
What?
It means she can go outside only at night.
Who is it that I'm living for?
Sometimes as I pass These dark days yeah
The weakness and pain
I feel is the Only thing I know
Even if yesterday Was disappointing
And even if My dream for today
Doesn't always come to be Yeah yeah
Does that mean Night's twinkling stars
Have just disappeared?
Or did they go To tomorrow?
Tomorrow never knows
It's happy line
Who is it that I'm living for?
Midnight Sun
I'll go ahead.
- Hey! - You're here?
You truant again?
Hey. Where's Kaoru?
She just slept. Don't wake her, she'll get mad.
Not if it's me.
Up'
Did you make another new one?
Yes, the old one's too small.
Kaoru probably won't want to wear it.
I know, but...
Misaki, it's awkward to say, but,
don't take things from the fridge.
Okay!
It's amazing he can't improve at all.
But it's kind of cute that he tries so hard.
Hey, the sun looks awfully high!
No! It's already 10:00 AM!
No way!
Koji, come on! We're late again!
What?
Thank you. Coming right up.
Seafood salad and Pizza Margherita, please.
What's there?
Oh, nothing.
Scared, Kaoru?
Don't look so gloomy
You see the smiling face
Making everyone happy?
Even if you can't smile Yeah yeah
Tomorrow's thoughts within
Laughing through the tears
Tomorrow never knows
It's happy line.
You know him?
Where you going?
Ouch!
I'm Amane, Kaoru.
What?
I'm Amane, Kaoru.
Huh?
I'm Amane, Kaoru.
So what?
I'm 16. I live with my parents.
I like music. I'm quick-tempered.
No boyfriend.
Huh?
I've watched you for so long. No boyfriend.
Oh, okay, I see...
Not one.
Hang on...
I like cheetahs. My favorite banana is food.
My favorite musicians, too many to say...
Kaoru!
Excuse us!
What?
Not what!
Stay out of it.
Stay out? I just saved you from a mess.
Huh?
Don't say huh.
He was about to turn you down.
A "favorite banana"?
That was all nonsense.
Shut up.
Haven't talked to a boy since grade school?
Who is he?
I think he goes to my high school.
I'm not sure, though.
You're always absent.
True!
So, you don't even know his name?
I just watch from here.
I see...
I wonder what he's like.
Maybe a good surfer?
Why not wear that outfit your mom made?
No way! He'd hate me in that.
I'll just have to go back to school and find out
- Will you? - Yes.
Referring not only to the antecedent,
but to elements thereof.
That's how to use the non-defining "which".
Here's another example.
It means he said Rome has the same population as Tokyo,
but obviously it is not true.
This use of "which" refers to the entire previous passage,
and as this usage is common, it should be remembered.
I'll test this next week.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I can't make a diagnosis without examining her.
Sorry, she refused to come.
Still hates hospitals?
More than anything.
Is that so?
What's her condition?
Seems quite healthy. Just like regular teens.
Really? That's good news.
So, her condition hasn't worsened?
Hasn't worsened? The age you'd warned about.
Oh, that's true. Sorry to worry you.
Anyway, I'll prescribe anti-inflammatory medication.
Doctor, is there any...
I'm sorry, there's still no cure.
I see.
With XP, the nature of the illness...
varies greatly from patient to patient.
But one thing common to many cases...
is that even more than UV rays,
increasing neurological damage with aging is to be feared.
He's Fujishiro, Koji.
Fujishiro, Koji?
It's hot in here!
Fujishiro, Koji.
Is he sleeping?
No. He's rather dumb.
School's nicer than I thought.
Oh, you've never seen a high school.
Looks fun to me.
What? It's a total waste of time.
These three are usually together.
This is his friend Onishi, Yuta.
And his other friend Kato, Haruo.
I see.
Washed his hands?
Seems like he did.
Look at that!
So, now you know.
Generally, he's dumb and crude.
Good evening.
You're that girl, right?
Yeah.
I'm sorry about that.
No problem, forget it.
What are you doing here?
I'm going home. I often sing by the station.
Are you a street musician?
Well, I guess I am.
Really.
That was a good song. What's it called?
I haven't decided yet.
You wrote it yourself?
Wow, that's amazing!
Really?
And you?
Going surfing?
That's a nice board.
You think so?
I thought so too. I chose it carefully.
So, I got a good one!
It's second-hand, though...
How about that?
Huh?
Second-hand?
You live near here?
That house on the hill.
That place?
I go past here every day!
Yeah, I know.
You know?
That's where you watched from?
Right.
It's embarrassing...
I can't act weird.
I have to go home now.
Oh, really?
I see.
Bye.
Hey!
I'll try to go to your next performance.
People who say that never come.
I promise, first day of vacation!
It's your last summer vacation,
but don't avoid studying or you'll fall behind.
Everybody understand?
It'll decide your future!
Why is today circled here?
I don't know, it's not mine.
Maybe Kaoru's.
School summer vacation begins today...
Morn, you scared me!
You surf, then on vacation go out all night!
You can't get any worse.
I told you, I'm going to study!
Move! I'm meeting Yuta and Haruo.
Maybe I'll go, too.
Don't bother!
I'll call later to check.
Call my cell phone.
Koji! I'll call every 10 minutes!
Thanks, Kamakura!
Thanks for listening, everybody!
I'm Dynamite Yamazaki!
Now my second song!
"My Name's Global Standard"!
Hi.
What's that?
He took my place.
Oh, you sing there?
He's really awful.
Waiting till he's done?
There's no choice.
I'd looked forward to tonight.
You can't sing somewhere else?
What?
Here.
First time on a bike.
Really?
Let me do it.
- There! - Ouch.
Let's go.
Where we going?
Somewhere nice. Get on!
Let's
Can I see some more of the city?
Perhaps I've Thought too much
While sleepless in my room
I want so much To fly away from night
I sigh beside the window
Take this moonlight far away
I want to spread my wings
So what should I do?
I want to fly well I want to fly well
But I just Don't know how to fly
I want to fly well I want to fly well
Won't someone teach me how?
How I wish I could
I can't wait For that chance
It's morning once again
How many have now gone?
Flowing into that skyline
I don't know how to fly
I don't know If I can fly at all
I want to fly well I want to fly well
Still I'm on my way
I want to fly well I want to fly well
The only way to fly
I want to fly well I want to fly well
Is to take off Into the sky
To skyline.
I'll go now to meet you I've made up my mind
This song in my pocket I want you to hear
Slowly raise the volume
Listen and you'll know
Oh good-bye days I feel a change is coming
Good-bye yesterday So long
Now you're beside me Gentle in your simple way
Lalalala love with you
I pass one Earphone to you
To slowly share This precious moment
Is this the way To show my love?
Sometimes I just don't know
Oh good-bye days Change is coming now
Deep in my heart Alright
So, you want to release a CD in the future?
Future...?
That would be like a dream come true.
You're great! I can never do anything special.
Huh?
I'll live a regular life, then die a regular death.
That's not true.
Huh?
You can do anything.
Think so?
Yeah. You'll find what you want to do.
You're just beginning.
Yeah, that's right!
I'm really so simple!
I'm Fujishiro, Koji!
No girlfriend.
I like surfing.
Please be my girlfriend.
Must be any time now.
Sunrise here is so beautiful.
Let's watch it. After 10 minutes or so.
Can't be!
It's true!
Next time you can watch me surf.
I've got to go!
No curfew is this late!
But I...
I have to go home!
But it's almost sunrise.
What's wrong?
Hey, wait!
I'll take you home.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Get on!
Your guitar!
Wait!
Where's Kaoru!
Huh?
Was she with you?
Got back just now.
NOW?
Over here! Kaoru is home!
What's going on?
What's that for?
You want to kill her?
Huh?
What if Kaoru dies?
Why would she die?
Kaoru is ill.
She can die from sunlight!
What?
You wore these clothes?
I see...
She is fine.
Really, Doctor?
Yes, it was not enough to be a problem.
What a relief!
Do you feel strange anywhere?
Tell me right away if anything changes.
You can go now.
What?
You know what.
Who was that guy?
Why didn't you tell me about him?
Why would I?
Watch it!
Is he someone you like?
Is that it?
Well, is it?
Is that bad?
Anyway, it's over.
I'd hoped illness wouldn't matter.
But it's impossible for me to love someone.
Don't worry.
I won't see him again.
He won't want a sick girlfriend.
Don't say such things.
You're not sick, just special.
He has a bright future...
You have, too.
You do.
You always say that.
What's that?
We both know I can't be cured.
That's not so!
Look at me and say that.
You can't fool me.
I'm not a kid anymore.
Basic Principles of Dermatology
Who is it?
It's me.
You okay?
What's wrong?
No more singing?
But you sing so well...
It's a waste if you don't sing.
Let me hear you again.
I wish...
I wish I'd had a regular life.
That's all I wanted.
Don't come again.
What?
Seeing me just can't work out.
Wait!
Recycle Shop
Excuse me!
Yes?
Surfboard?
Right.
We'll pay around 2,000 yen.
It's a deal.
Okay.
You two eat.
Not hungry?
Working hard?
Yes.
Finish before dark!
Okay. You'll really pay 20,000 yen?
Sure. But not for one, for all of them.
Wash all for 20,000!
At that pace just 6,000 for today. Good luck!
You're late!
Sorry.
Why did you call me?
I thought you might know.
What?
About Kaoru's ex-boyfriend.
I don't know.
Want to make me mad?
I do know. I know quite well.
Local high school kid?
Yeah.
I see.
Also...
What?
I want your opinion,
as a teen, about what I'm going to ask.
Xi '1 were to...
meet with him, would she be angry?
Of course she would be.
She'd never forgive you.
And if I asked...
that boy to come and see Kaoru,
would she get angry?
If I beg him to come and see her,
would she be angry?
Angry, and she'd cry.
I'll go now...
to meet you
I've made up my mind
This song...
in my pocket
Slowly raise the volume
Listen and you'll know...
Kaoru, dinner!
Hey, Kaoru!
These dishes okay?
Hi.
Nice to see you.
With thanks.
With thanks!
Thanks
Been a while since you ate?
What do you mean?
Koji, just help yourself.
Thanks Everything looks so good!
- You're a good guy. - No.
I really mean that.
- Eat up! - Okay, thanks.
This is strange!
It's weird. Who arranged this?
Your dad invited me...
Dad?
What's going on with you and Koji?
Don't get angry.
I'm not angry.
What's this?
What are you all up to?
I didn't intend to hide it from you.
Look.
Want To Make An Original CD? 200,000 Yen
I really want to hear you sing again.
I'm dumb, it's all I can think of.
I just started working, so haven't saved much yet.
I can pay the rest for you.
Will you really?
But no, thanks anyway.
Why not?
I started this, so I want to finish it myself.
How about it?
Won't you make a CD of your own songs?
Yes!
I never imagined you'd do this for me.
Well...
Thank you.
I really didn't...
What?
I didn't expect to ever have this chance.
Not someone like me...
I love you.
Your illness doesn't change that.
I'll sleep in the day.
We can meet at night!
After the sun sets...
I'll go to see you.
Hey...
What?
You crying?
Of course not!
I'm not!
Let me see, come on...
Stop crying!
Smile!
You look funny.
You're mean.
What's wrong?
I must be tired.
I'll get some snacks.
Looks good!
Cerebral atrophy has gradually begun.
It appears that XP has affected the nervous system.
In the near future...
she'll become paralyzed,
and then...
She will die?
Doctor, 'W makes HO SENSE YO me.
Yes?
I never let her go out in the sunlight.
As a child...
she'd beg to go outside.
She'd cry and cry,
but I'd refuse to let her go out of the house.
Even after all that,
how could it come to this?
Does it mean...
all the things I did...
meant nothing at all?
Why...?
Why did this have to happen to my daughter?
Why not... a little brat somewhere?
Amane-san...
Kaoru, Koji came to visit.
Kaoru?
I'm coming in.
Hi.
How do you feel?
I'm sorry.
Huh?
You worked to save money, but I'm not able to sing.
Sorry.
Did I do weird things?
Huh?
You watched me from here?
What's "weird"?
Pick my nose...
You didn't!
Handstands, sneaking around...
Nothing like that.
You heard farts?
Never.
That's a relief.
The first time I saw you,
you acted like a little boy.
You seemed so happy!
I felt happy just watching.
You saw that...
I was the same.
When I got my guitar, I felt as happy as you did then.
Really.
Thank you.
See you later.
Hey!
My hand can't play, but...
you hear my voice, right?
Can you hear me?
I hear you!
So, I'll sing!
I'm going to sing!
See you!
Wow! It's pretty!
It's not that great! But it is pretty.
Amazing!
It's great!
Really a debut.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Let's get started.
Yes, please do.
Do your best! I'll watch from here.
You're distracting.
Out!
You still won't let me listen?
Do as she says, I'll be here watching for you!
You leave, too.
What? Me too?
You can listen to the CD.
Why?
Come on, let's all leave. Come on!
Even me?
Let's go. She won't change her mind.
Ready to begin?
Okay.
You wrote this song?
Yes.
It's good.
You think so? Thank you!
Give it your best.
I will.
Let's do it.
Can't hear anything.
What the...?
Both of you, settle down.
I hope they don't get mad.
Why?
She might miss a note or something.
She's not a pro yet.
Yes she is!
She's already a pro.
She amazed me in Yokohama.
The minute she started singing, a crowd gathered.
Some people would get nervous,
but with her, the bigger the crowd...
the better she got.
I also became her fan.
After the CD is made, I'm really going to promote it.
To a major record company, cable or radio.
I'll really send around her CD!
She'll be a star in the future.
You okay?
I'm kind of hot.
Are the fans working?
It's such a nuisance...
Why not take it off?
Just take it off! Run around in your T-shirt!
I won't do that.
It would be fatal for me.
I'm determined to live as long as I can.
I'll live and live and live!
You're right! Dad was talking nonsense.
You are right.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
The little girl who begged to go outside,
who lived her life in darkness,
has become so grown-up.
Hah! I fooled you.
You look funny!
A short time later, she passed away,
leaving many memories,
and the songs she'd loved.
I'll go now to meet you I've made up my mind
This song in my pocket I want you to hear
Slowly raise the volume
Listen and you'll know
Oh good-bye days I feel a change is coming
Good-bye yesterday So long
Now you're beside me Gentle in your simple way
Lalalala love with you
I pass one Earphone to you
To slowly share This precious moment
Is this the way To show my love?
Sometimes I just don't know
Oh good-bye days Change is coming now
Deep in my heart Alright
Now you're beside me Gentle in your simple way
Lalalala love with you
I wish that I would Never have tough times
But they will come Won't they?
When they do With a smiling face
"Yeah hello my friend"
Is what I wish to say
When I quietly Sing this song
Stay close to me I wish
Gentle in your simple way So grateful that we met
Lalalala good-bye days.
