My granddaughter is Meguru. Meguru Yoshida.
She is a lecturer at a cram school.
Out of the way, grandpa.
Yes, if I eat until I'm full,
I can see other people's futures.
Can someone like me get insurance as well?
Well.. more than insurance, I'm worried about my granddaughter.
Truth be told, Meguru has the same ability, no, I take that back,
she has pride.
What? Shinjuku Mama is your..?
- 'to' - to?
What is Shinjuku to Mama to you...?
Mother.
Are you serious? Wowow seriously?
Recently,she's been able to see her boyfriend's future without being agitated.
She's become quite bold.
That burdened granddaughter has a burden of a secret
that was recently discovered by me.
You... that...
I had no idea...
That cute girl in 20 years will enter the world of sadomasochism.
Ah, correction, will be in the care of the police.
Ah.. such a nice girl, what exactly is going to happen?
Grandpa! Are you okay?
Thankfully, Meguru can't see her own future yet.
Before she notices herself, I need to do something.
How old were you when she left?
12 years old, so 12 years ago.
I never met her that whole time. Who would think, on TV...
Hey, you knew this before?
Actually, I've met her before.
So hot!
The lid! You should put it on the lid and let it cool a bit.
Hot!
What? I never heard about that!
I didn't tell you.
Well, really, I didn't think it was your mother, so..
What is it?
You're back.
I'm back... that means you could see me? Hey...
Meguru, you have to tell me.
Hot!
- It's hot isn't it... - Hot.
It's hot!
- Hey, isn't the bowl keeping it hot? - Yes.
Because it's dolsot bibimbab. (served in a heated bowl)
Mama!
Oh, no!
What was it I wanted to say after all?
Old people like to aimlessly wander the neighborhood, ah, correction,
go for a walk, I believe. I was way off.
That's how it is.
Life is a long worrisome walk with a heavy burden on your back.
Everyone, have you been walking recently?
Come on, let's go out for a walk!
Grandpa's walk
- You mind if I have one? - Sure.
Thanks. Ah, it smells great.
Correction!

This person is my mother: Aiko Yoshida, age 44
Wait a second!
And I'm Meguru. Meguru Yoshida.
I'm a lecturer at a cram school.
Meguru!
He is my boyfriend Yuuki.
The bill!!
I don't know this person.
Meguru! Your mother? Meguru, where's your mother?
Let's see how many medals Japanese figure skating will capture this year.
Let's get Shinjuku Mama to...
- to! - Sorry.
give her prediction.
[Gold 0 Silver 0 Pot 1]
She wrote pot instead of bronze!
That's hilarious!
Maybe not...
What are you doing, mama? What are you up to?
You just left me
even though we were reunited.
Mama!
She ate bibimbab and escaped. Bibimbab dine and dash!
Dine and dash? Us too, dine and dashers!
Ah, now that I think about it, when she left!
Mama..
I will come back for sure, okay.
Then too! Dine and dash!
Dine and dash repeat offender!
Mama prefers food to me!
That's not true! She likes Meguru more than food!
Personally, I want to eat you! (double entendre works in both languages here)
What...?
Super withdraw? I'm so shocked!
I'm writing about this in my blog!
Ah! I have to tell grandpa this!
Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!
Grandpa!!
What's wrong, Meguru?
I met mama.
You aren't surprised?
Mama! It was mama!
This afternoon by coincidence at the BBQ place near the cram school..
This looks tasty!
Hey! Did you wash your hands?
Oh, sorry! What was I talking about.
... near the cram school...
Oh yeah! So the BBQ place...
- Shoot. - Wait!
It was that pot!
Mama!
Yes, yes.
Let's eat.
Oh! Hot! ... so hot..
She can eat in here.
You not getting along?
She doesn't like eating with me.
How long are you going to keep crying?
- If you don't eat, it will get cold. - Hot.
Ah.. as much a cat tongue as ever.
Grandpa, how can you act like nothing had happened?
Where were you? I've been looking for you this whole time!
It's hot!
I said the whole time.. not really the whole time.
When I had a moment of free time and
on weekdays up to 9 p.m..
I think you can say the whole time.
I've been looking for you this whole time!
Where were you?
For the most part, Shinjuku.
I gave you a hint.
[Shinjuku to Mama]
I didn't see that, and if I had I wouldn't understand.
Ouch! This miso soup is so hot.
Everyone can eat it so freely.
She's back, isn't that enough?
The day when you two can sit down and have a meal has come.
That's right. You look healthy.
Ah. I'm relieved.
This isn't right! I don't get it!
What?
Shouldn't this be a little more dramatic?
It's a reunion after 12 years.
Everyone being noisy.
Cooling your soup with water and..
This is all wrong!
Mama.
It was at that moment I truly felt my mother had come home.
I had a ton of things I wanted to ask her, but
I didn't care any more.
Mama...
I fell asleep at the table.
- What is it? - Shhh..
Can you see?
What?
Suddenly, two days ago,
I wasn't paying attention,
it could have been sooner. I don't know.
That's why I called you here.
- The seal? - No!
Not the sweatshirt's pattern!
- The handcuffs! - Handcuffs?
Don't play dumb.
As my daughter, surely you can see it.
That again. I can't see it.
Only you can. That's so creepy.
You can! That's why you are a fortune teller!
- Oh my goodness. So creepy! - Shit..
What's wrong. You look so dreary.
- Ah. It's nothing. - I see.
Hey. You're going to catch a cold.
[Your Academinar]
Principal, what are you playing?
I'm not playing anything.
The two of you should escape quickly!
Ah, a disaster drill!
No! Yuriko Ishikura, the monster is coming!
Ah, yes, Tamotsu's mother.
Today, Kaisho Jr. High announced the results of the entrance exams.
Tamotsu failed..
Don't double enroll him at Progress Seminar. Let him study here.
If he fails...
I will quit as principal of Your Academinar.
Ah.. I shouldn't have said that.
I shouldn't have said that! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I was calm though.
Why? Because I had seen Tamotsu's future.
In 20 years, he will graduate with his doctorate..
- Principal! - Huh?
Principal, it's slipping.
- What is? - Your, um...
Where are Noboru and Ero Video?
Outside working!
What? Fly-by-night? Fly-by-afternoon?
Let's go!
Hmm... we didn't really have to escape, did we.
Sure, that's right. Really, why my house?
Well, I thought at times like these it's best to relax.
See, it's very relaxing here.
- I'm so sorry. - Ah, I don't really care.
Hey, papa! What's this. You brought home something weird.
Ah! Shinjuku to Mama!
So it is! Shinjuku to Mama!
I'm not your mother, okay?
She's my mother.
What? Is that so?
I am. How many of you?
Four of us. Including your daughter, five.
Then 5 it is, right?
Today we're having hand rolled sushi.
Out of the way!
Hurry up and throw this away, okay?
Don't worry about a thing.
She's gone.
Hurry, we need a plan for after this.
- Grandpa. - Huh? Me?
Under the circumstances, participation is the way to go.
What do we do? At present, the number of passing students stands at zero.
They were all wiped out?
That's great! Wipe Out Academy!
There's no way that's good! Think seriously!
Even if you change the name, you can't erase the bad image we have.
Maybe now it's time that we hide that it's a cram school.
I don't think we have to go that far.
Just barely...
Something with the faint scent of a cram school.
Such as?
Remy's Fine Dining.
Absolutely no smell of a cram school though.
Remy's Revolting Dining
I said the smell of a cram school
Remy's Smelly Dining
Come on! Think seriously!
I'm thinking!
I think and I think and all I come up with are names of restaurants.
Would you rather open a restaurant?
Class rank? Test success ratio? Boom! We can forget about it.
Everyone in a restaurant, it might be good.
It might be best...
Gate to the Future Academy
- Huh? - Sorry. I just,
well, it's like you are opening the gate to the children's bright future: Gate to the Future.
It also uses the character mon from Monden (president's name)
Ah, maybe it's a little too serious.
Rejected. Rejected.
No, that's great. That's really great, grandpa.
Gate to the Future.
I would rather have grandpa as our principal..
Me?
Don't you think so Ms. Yoshida?
Huh?
Where's Ms. Yoshida?
Hey, mama...
What? Why are you following me?
You see..
I can see people's futures.
20 years in the future.
Mama, you can too, right?
Why should I be able to?
I can't believe grandpa still spouting off weird things like that.
He's been doing that forever.
It's hot!
What is it?
You're going to hook up with a bad character.
That's why I don't like eating with him.
Why can't you see, but I can?
I have no idea.
It's, what they call it, evolutionary throwback!
Ah, middle of the afternoon and were talking about the occult.
It's not the occult!
It is the occult! So creepy!
A supermarket is a place
for realists to talk about reality.
'Oh ma'am, the radishes have gone up in price!'
Like that!
Hey, mama, are you going to use that in the sushi?
Eh?!
Yeah, of course...
for when we are rolling it,
If we get bored we can fill them with rice and play.
But mama..
why are you a psychic?
So I can keep eating.
I also have a life to live.
What about papa? He doesn't give you alimony?
Don't talk about your father!
That money grubbing fool.
Money killer!
It's often said that the name fits the person.
Hamaru Yoshida (Hamaru means 'to fall')
Hamaru indeed!
Fell in the bubble. Fell in the IT boom.
In the end, in family and in money...
a man abandoned unto his fate.
After we separated, people who had trusted him and loaned him money
started to show up at the house.
I didn't care about myself.
My first priority was
not to have you and grandpa involved.
That's why I left home.
I understand your situation completely.
But, at least,
you should have come to see me.
Papa came to see me.
Even when I didn't want to see him
to the point of being a nuisance, he came.
That's true..
I shouldn't have just watched you from afar all this time.
I'm sorry.
But actually
I'm glad.
You were raised to be such a nice girl.
I had no choice but to be good.
Papa and mama were both gone.
I had no choice but to be good.
I'm so- so- sorry!
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry mama!
I'm sorry mama, so sorry
Sorry!
I'm going to change your bib, okay?
It's just like a wet tissue now.
Thanks. Do you also have something to wipe the table with?
Sure thing.
Hey papa!
Could you stop crying and listen to me?
Is this something that I could listen to without crying?
Sorry mama! Sorry mama!
Anyway, when are you going to come see her?
Today we are having hand rolled sushi.
Sorry mama?
Ms. Yoshida is late, isn't she?
- This is kind of.. - ...humiliating, yeah.
- Eat a lot. You're all young. - Alright.
Don't worry about us.
Ah, it stinks.
It's your chance.
There are a lot of people there, so I don't think she won't blow up at you.
I can't go.
I'm not prepared to face her.
What do you mean?
When we split up,
your mother was 32 years old.
Thirty-two, that's the same age as Ryoko Tani* (dominated women's Judo for 15 years now)
Sorry, what are you talking about?
I'm talking about active service.
When she was in her peak.. she was a bubble woman* when I threw her away. (comparing her to economic bubble)
How old is she now?
Forty-four!
Your mama's a collapsing bubble now. I don't want to see it.
That's what you mean?!
No!
Papa loves mama from his heart.
That's why..
that's why I can't go to see her yet!
Yet?
Yeah...
I'll pay off my debt.
Get my business back on track.
Make it into the top 10 richest people. Then papa..
In that case you won't meet her in this life.
Since then I haven't been able to get a hold of papa.
Mama continues to be busy with her job.
I see her once a day.
Box lunches!
Someone gave them to me.
- Oh! Hooray! Grandpa let's eat. - I'm alright.
I also suddenly became busy.
Junior High tests were a failure, but High School ones are next!
Forget what's behind us.
Let's get 50% in.
No, 30%. No, 50%!
Let's aim for a success rate of 50%..
What?
Are there any complaints?
The name of the school!
[Ma ] .
[Masa ] What's wrong with it?
[Masaru ] What's wrong with it?
[Masaru's ] What's wrong with it?
[Masaru's Ta ] It's friendly, easy, inspirational,
[Masaru's Tasty ] It's friendly, easy, inspirational,
[Masaru's Tasty Academy] and has my name in it.
He really thinks he's cute.
Well we can't put your name on it.
Erotic Video, right?
I'm Eguchi.
The way things are, Tasty Academy, Chatting Kitchen, anything is fine!
The important thing isn't the name, but what's inside.
Masaru! And I'm not chatting.
It's like Ms. Kimura said.
We don't have time. This is the final stretch.
We have 4 days to get half the students in.
What do you mean 4 days?
What do you mean?
Most of the private schools are testing this Saturday.
Seriously?
Ah! We only have 4 days!
That's right.
They will announce the results in a week.
You didn't know?
No, I thought there was another month left.
The tension is dropping.
Give me a break.
Let's go!
Everyone! Let's go.
Hey!
Then the 'Masaru's Tasty Academy' teacher battle formation,
with the exception of Masaru, banded together
for the challenge of the 4 day battle.
"What a strange, demented feeling it gives me when I realize I have spent whole days
before this inkstone, with nothing better to do, jotting down
at random whatever nonsensical thoughts that have entered my head."
[Introduction of 'Essays in Idleness' by Kenko Yoshida (1283-1352), translation by Donald Keene]
Alright! Is there anyone who can solve this problem?
Ah, completely illegible!
Don't fall asleep!
Get up! Get up! Get up!
What's this, Meguru?
I already ate some?
What I want to see right now is not 20 years into the future,
but one week.
Whether each of them getting into their first choice school,
smiling on the day that they were accepted..
Chizuru?
Excuse me.
I don't feel well, so I'm going home.
Self study!
Chizuru!
That was a close one!
I'm sorry.
Wait.
Could it be?
I saved her!
That wasn't it..
Calm down!
And really look at her.
She will die in her junior high uniform.
Which means..
she won't ever enter high school.
At the latest, she will leave this world in March.
She has less than a month to live.
How sad..
Could it be? Suicide?
If it's not an accident or she's not sick.
Meguru...
Calm down Chukichi!
And really look at her!
Meguru is chasing a dead person.
Could it be? She's a murderer?!
She's so concerned about her student's future
... she takes things into her own hands?
Meguru!
Where is Meguru?
- Go home grandpa. - Huh?
Dead!?
Your talking too loud!
I'm sorry.
A girl that cute..
This is so shocking, I'm gonna write it in my blog.
Don't do that!
Since you mentioned it, stop writing that blog. It's freaky.
It's all right.
I don't write anything about you.
Sorry for the wait.
What do you think teacher?
About what?
You've already changed your first choice school.
Shooting Star High is hard to get into,
but recently your scores have improved...
Not me, Kenji.
Kenji..?
Ah Akasaka.
It's true, he's been progressing a bit slow.
He really has.
It took him 10 minutes to work out that easy English problem.
He won't get into Shooting Star like that.
Absolutely impossible!
I'm not worried about Akasaka.
He will become an upstanding house painter and get married to a blond girl.
I'm worried about you Chizuru
I'm worried about you more than Kenji.
The truth is..
What?
Yuuki!
Ah, I'm on my break.
You've met before, right?
Teacher's friend?
You could say a friend,
but to be precise, I'm her boyfriend!
You're pretty cool.
I was once known as the River Phoenix of Keio.
When I say Keio, it's not the university. (Keio is one of the top private universities in Japan)
Keio train line. Keio Inadadzutsumi. (station)
You can stay here if you are quiet.
Alright. I'll zip it.
What were you going to say?
Yes,
They found out about our relationship.
His parents saw a message I had sent him.
Akasaka's parents?
Is it that much trouble?
Yes, they are doctors of the famous Akasaka Grand Clinic.
But a message is fairly trivial.
It would seem that it wasn't just a message.
Is that true?
Teacher...
We are in our third year of junior high.
What does that mean?
We were going to wait until after the exam.
Petting! You two were petting!
Oh my!
My blog comments are going to be flooded!
Yuuki.
Yes, I'll zip it.
If we both passed, we promised to go to the amusement park together.
If we fail we will never see each other again.
Kenji's life in high school...
If Kenji and I should break up...
I would rather...
- go to a public.. - You can't commit suicide!
Suicide?
Public?
Quit private school for a public one.
Is that bad?
It's not bad, but..
At any rate, there are 4 days left.
Leave Akasaka to me.
You should think about what's best for you.
Okay?
Okay..
Thanks for the food.
Because of that Chizuru is rather nervous.
Please keep an eye on her.
That's deplorable.
Honors students petting before an entrance exam.
That's just speculation!
Yuuki thought that on his own.
It's just like '15 Year Old Mother' (from first season of 3B Kinpachi-sensei)
'15 Year Old Mother'? (from first season of 3B Kinpachi-sensei)
You don't know?
'Kinpachi Sensei'
Kaoru Sugita and Shingo Tsurumi (actress and actor from that story)
Right, Yukino Asai and Tamotsu Miyazawa! (respective characters' names)
The class representative Yukino becomes pregnant with honor student Tamotsu Miyazawa's baby.
You know this... in detail.
Sure! I was right in the Kinpachi generation.
Me, too.
It really takes me back!
When Kaoru Sugita was skipping rope in the rain.
It wasn't Kaoru Sugita. (name of actress and her character)
It was Yukino Asai. (name of actress and her character)
Finally when Yukino is 7 months pregnant, it's discovered.
3B* is in an uproar! (class number)
According to Mr. Kinpachi, if there were a class on love...
You guys don't watch?
We weren't born yet.
We are of the GTO generation.
Then be quiet!
You remember that...
The rotten tangerine.
'The Rotten Tangerine Equation' is the second season!
You want me to tell it?
- Okay. - Excuse me.
The problem child Masaru Kato transfers from Araya Junior High.
3B is in an uproar!
Oh, by the way, the actor who played Masaru Kato is..
Mr. Takaozan continued talking for 2 or 3 hours.
Quit scratching your head! Quit scratching your neck!
Wrong! Wrong! Are you an idiot?
Try reading the problem carefully!
It says, 'use a relative pronoun to translate this to English'!
Idiot!
You want to start over from elementary school?
Quit saying 'idiot' so much.
Which one?
While helping Akasaka,
I was watching over Chizuru.
I can go as far as the cram school by myself.
Let's go this way.
Don't look at the construction! It's dangerous!
Be careful! There's a step there!
Construction is dangerous! This is dangerous! Don't interfere!
Well, tomorrow's testing will be held for private schools.
There's no point in making a fuss!
Everyone,
the teachers have also done all they can!
You just sat and read comics.
In order to help you all do you best,
I have made you good luck charms.
A Todai graduate Masaru doll!
Wow!
Everyone take me home!
Yo! Yo! Prepare and review! North Kyushu! (rap verse from song in ep 5)
ABCDE feeling
is was were Arizona
SuiHeiLiBe I'm an ancient man!
Kenji!
What?
Never mind.
Let's go to Shooting Star High together, okay?
Sure.
I've got all these left over.
It would be great if they pass...
... but I said the same thing last year.
Well, there is a second chance recruiting.
It would be fantastic if we can get half of them in.
Will the kids who pass stop coming?
If they pass, the duty of this school is finished.
Private, second attempt for private, public..
no matter what, we will lose students.
Since they are leaving, I want to write them a little something.
Yeah, the kids have worked terribly hard,
It's kind of severe to tell them to do their best.
If Kinpachi were here, I wonder what he would say.
Ah!
Who?
Hey Eguchi!
Go rent Kinpachi for us.
Huh? You want to watch it now?
We don't have another time!
If we think about the pains of the students,
An all-night viewing of Kinpachi is nothing.
Ah, 'all-night' and 'Tetsuya', that wasn't intentional. (all-night and Tetsuya, actor playing Kinpachi, are homonyms)
Come on Eguchi, I told you to get going!
Actually that... won't be necessary.
Are you serious?!
Fantastic!
- Let's watch it! Let's watch it! - Where is Ms. Yoshida?
She only has one month to live...
If she passes what can I say?
Hmmm.. 'Congradolences.'
What's that?
A portmanteau of 'congratulations' and 'my condolences'. Hehe.
Hehe, that's so funny...
Just saying it's funny doesn't make me happy.
If only I could see one month in the future...
20 years in the future doesn't mean a thing.
You want to try?
What?
I've been thinking..
For example, if you eat one hot dog, you can see 20 years in the future.
Well if you eat half,
then maybe you can see just 10 years.
Which means if you eat one twentieth, then you would only see one year.
And if you eat one twelfth of that then it would be one month.
- There's no reason that should work. - We don't know.
With training you might be able to do it. We don't know.
You want to try it?
First, one twentieth.
Which means... one year, right?
How is it?
You're a little fatter. .
You're a little fatter. Huh?
- Huh? You've lost it again. - Thank goodness.
- Ah, rebound.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Stop eating!
I'm just kidding.
[3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei complete collection]
Surprisingly he didn't say anything special.
Well with his nasal voice, I don't know what he's saying.
When the left, he just casually said 'do your best', huh...
and 'Dummy!'..
He just says, 'What is it?'
Really, no one would say that..
It's really irritating, that nasal voice...
The second season was better.
That's not the problem.
- That whining nasal voice... - Shut up about his voice!
Quit saying 'nasal, nasal' about part of my adolescence!
And could you wake up?
Ah, that pisses me off. He's the one who told me to fetch it.
Shall we peel off his wig?
Can you put it back?
Are you sure you can get it back on?
If we don't try we won't know.
Is it over?
Shall we grab some breakfast at McDonald's and head home?
Yes, hello?
Huh?
You were about to do something to me, Ero Video!
It's from Akasaka!
- What did he say? - Hey! Ero Video!
He said that Chizuru isn't coming to the test!
- What?
It seems she's left her house, but
I think her phone is off. She's not picking up...
Is there nowhere you think she would be?
Places you went together.
Well, the Mister Donut in Koenji, the discount store in Nakano, Inashika Park, the bowling alley in Sasazuka, or
Really a lot!
Shall we go?
You can't! The test is starting soon.
I'm worried, and
I have no reason to take it alone.
You must!
We promised to take it together.
Akasaka..
I want both of us to enter Shooting Star high, teacher.
It's alright.
I'll find her and escort her back here.
You go take the test.
Alright.
No luck.
She wasn't in Koenji or Nakano.
- The bowling alley? - Nope.
Huh? Where's the principal?
You dummy. Take that!
Totally worthless!
Next time, I'l rip off that wig!
I called her mother and her school, but...
If we search randomly, we're not going to get anywhere.
Ah! I got it!
Ah! That's it!
I told you she's not here..
Don't say such things. I brought these along.
Impossible. Mama's not a channel.
Well you should have come by yesterday.
Yesterday?
She came. A girl was wearing her uniform.
See!
See, that's what she looked like.
Chizuru!
What's that? Mama!
You should have said that in the first place, mama!
I'm not your mother, okay?
So what did Chizuru say?
Love and the test..
she couldn't decide which to choose.
- Without hesitation, I told her to go for love. - Hey!
If the test is the obstacle in their relationship,
Forget it... give up on the test.
If you do that then you have a brilliant future waiting for you.
Why did you say such nonsense?
Because that's what she looked like she wanted to hear.
Mama...
Fortune telling is all about the present. The present!
They want to feel relieved, so they come to me.
People come because they want to release their burdens.
Those two will break up!
What?
If they go to the same high school or don't,
Akasaka will tie the not with another girl.
Chizuru...
Why are you interfering?!
You don't know...
You really can't see...
Suppose I could see,
if I say that, what will happen?
Mama...
Wait, wait. What's this about seeing and not seeing?
Excuse me!
Actually, details can be found on my blog.
Meguru,
A person's happiness is not limited to knowing the truth.
I know that!
I know that, but she's still only 15.
I want to do something for her.
I'm sorry to interrupt!
Just now I got a message from Masaru.
It seems he's found Chizuru!
Why him?
Why Masaru!?
[I found her!] Why Masaru!?
I was surprised.
I woke up and no one was here.
Then I felt like there was someone in the classroom.
Hey! Listen!
Teacher..
I can handle it from here.
Thanks so much.
Ah, I guess so..
We're all tired, so let's go home.
What? You're sleepy?
I'm not tired at all.
And I'm the one who found her.
Teacher, I'm sorry.
If we leave now, you can still make it.
You're sure you don't want to go?
Why?
You made a promise with Kenji, didn't you?
He said that he wanted to get into Shooting Star High together.
I do too.
But..
if Kenji fails...
I mean, if I pass and he fails..
it's like it's my fault.
It's Kenji's responsibility.
It's not your fault.
I know, but..
everyone else will think that.
He's preparing to go to medical school, but
since we just started going out...
people will assume I'm the one who ruined his future.
Everyone he knows will think that, right?
If you worry about those people, what will it change?
Chizuru, this is your life.
The one who will regret this is you.
You are the one who has something at stake.
It's not a choice between love and the test.
You can choose them both.
You have to take what you want.
If you worry about what strangers think, in a flash...
Life is short. Live it to the fullest!l
- Meguru! - Yuuki!
Thanks you.
[Shooting Star High]
Yuuki!
Sorry. On the way there was a foot bridge..
I took off my skates..
If I had been wearing normal shoes we would have made it in time..
You don't have to talk.
Where's Chizuru?
She's coming.
Where?
What do you mean where?
Teacher!
I missed it after all.
They said it's too late.
Chizuru?
You're Chizuru?!
Nice to meet you!
[Chizuru 35] Nice to meet you!
[Chizuru 35] What's wrong?
Does that mean.. Her life changed?
Yes.
My life changed?
Yeah!
Hooray!
Hey! Knock it off..
I wasn't even able to take the test.
Yep. That's too bad.
But I feel relieved.
Teacher. I'm going try the secondary test.
Great!
For sure, I'll succeed!
The test and love both..
I'll go for it all.
That's right, life is long, so
you have to live to the fullest.
That's the opposite of what you said before.
[Names of students and the schools they are testing at.]
Hello?
Thanks for your call.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Thanks for calling.

Hinomaru High
Failed..
This is like the Liberal Democratic Party headquarters a while back. (LDP suffered major defeats in the 2007 elections.)
Well, no they didn't come up with nothing.
Maybe we should have gone with Wipe Out Academy after all.
Don't you think we could at least spare the mochi?
Shall we eat some?
Teacher! I made it into Shooting Star High!
Hooray!
Congratulations!
There were no passengers in the fallen gondola,
and no injuries were reported.
The police
I don't understand. Can you explain it again?
Well, if we both passed,
we promised that we would ride that ferris wheel.
The one that fell?
That's what it looks like.
By 'that's what it looks like', by chance you mean today?
If you had made to the test in time,
you would have been on that ride?
If I had made it and we had both passed, yes.
Wow, then that means I'm kind of like a life saving hero!
So, why the ferris wheel?
Yeah, there's the roller coaster.
That's because...
What do you think?
What's with the whispering?
It's not polite to whisper with all these people.
- Let's go! - Okay.
Leaving? Why not eat first?
We're going to study together.
I see... there's only one week left before the second round of tests, huh.
Teacher, thank you!
- Sure. - Shall we?
- Bye bye - Work hard!
They were planning to have their first kiss in the ferris wheel.
What? They've been petting, but haven't kissed yet?
Petting. Pe-petting.. is nice.. petting.
Alright, two servings of salted tongue. Eat it.
There's 10 slices, so one would be 2 years.
I wonder if mama really can't see.
What..?
Like you said, not 20 years,
if she can see one month or one week of her own free will,
she would have been able to predict the accident, maybe...
That could be why she said those things.
If this test is going to be an obstacle to your relationship.
Forget it. Give up on the test.
If you do then a splendid future awaits you.
It's just a coincidence.
Well, let's eat.
This isn't interesting at all.
Next, happy news!
Yesterday, regrettably even the bronze medal escaped figure skater Mai Takeshita, but
it was reported that she will be in a commercial for enamel pots.
[Pot 1]
A person's happiness is not limited to knowing the truth.
Mama..!
Grandpa.
What is it, Meguru?
Mama can see after all.
The same power as grandpa and me.
No, she has greater power..
Huh?
What's wrong?
What!
What's this?
Can you see it?
No!
Meguru!
Meguru!!
Can you see?
Meguru!
Did you see?
Flower petals dancing in the wind
nimbly dissolving into the sky
the two of us will always
work to be together
A new flower bud
at the tip of a low branch
so many there
shaking without doubting tomorrow
Ah, let's walk the pale pink road
No matter how small
Yes, one step then another
Ah, cherry petals scattering, scattering
Keep blooming.
Yes, from now on.
[Psychic's destiny] It's the fate of a psychic.
[Psychic's destiny] Watch out!
[Forbidden love] That mother is tempting me.
I've fallen for Mr. Eguchi
[A crisis is lurking.] If you use your power that may put them in danger.
[Who is the killer?] I must discover who the ringleader is.
