5 Centimeters Per Second
Story 1
Hey.
They say it’s five centimeters per second.
Huh? What is?
The speed of falling cherry blossom petals; it’s five centimeters per second.
You know a lot of stuff like that, Akari.
You know, they look just like snowflakes.
I guess . . .
Hey!
Wait up!
Akari!
Takaki-kun.
I hope we can see the cherry blossoms together next spring too.
Cherry Blossom
Dear Tohno Takaki . . .
I’m sorry I haven’t written for so long.
Though summers here are hot as well,
they’re a lot milder than Tokyo’s.
But when I think about it,
I liked the hot, humid summers of Tokyo too.
The melting-hot asphalt,
the distant skyscrapers, shimmering in the heat,
and the freezing air-conditioning in department stores and on subways.
The last time we were together was at our elementary school graduation.
It’s already been half a year since then.
So, Takaki-kun . . .
Do you still remember me?
Dear Takaki-kun . . .
Student Council Room
Dear Takaki-kun . . .
Thank you for writing back. It made me so happy.
It’s already well into autumn, and the leaves are turning beautiful colors.
The day before yesterday, I pulled out a sweater for the first time this year.
Tohno-kun?
Senpai.
What’s that? A love letter?
No, it’s not.
Sorry for asking you to do all that.
No problem. It didn’t take me long.
Thank you.
Hey, are you really transferring to another school?
Yeah. At the end of the year.
Where to?
Kagoshima. It’s my parents.
Really? We’ll miss you.
Lately, I’ve been getting up early because of school activities.
So I’m writing this letter on the train.
I had my hair cut the other day.
It’s so short, even my ears are showing.
You probably wouldn’t even recognize me if you saw me.
I’m home.
Welcome back.
Takaki-kun, I bet you’ll change too; little by little, with time.
Dear Takaki-kun . . .
Are you doing all right even with all this cold weather?
It has already snowed a few times here.
Every time it does, I have to really bundle myself up when I go to school.
I’m sure it hasn’t snowed in Tokyo yet, has it?
I have a habit of checking Tokyo’s weather too, even though I don’t live there any more.
I sure wish it would rain.
It wouldn’t be any easier indoors.
Hey. Have you guys ever been to Tochigi?
Huh?
Where?
Tochigi.
Nope.
Know how to get there?
I don’t know. On the bullet train, maybe?
Must be pretty far.
Freshmen!
Coming!
Last three rounds!
Fight! Go! Fight! Go!
I was really surprised when I heard you’d be transferring schools.

Travel to the Sea of Japan in the wintertime
We both got used to transferring schools when we were little.
But still, Kagoshima . . .
That’s kind of far away, isn’t it?
Iwafune
It’s no longer near enough that I can just jump on a train and see you whenever I want.
Gotokuji
Shinjuku
It does make me feel . . . well, kind of sad.
Omiya

I just hope that you’ll be fine.
Iwafune
Dear Takaki-kun,
I’m so happy we’ll see each other on March 4th.
One full year since we last met.
For some reason, I feel kind of nervous.
There’s a big cherry tree by my house.
When the spring comes,
the petals will fall at five centimeters per second.
How I wish the spring could come along with you on that day.
Wanna stop somewhere on the way back?
Might as well, since it’s raining and all.
The weather report said it’s going to turn to snow tonight.
Really? I thought it felt cold.

March 4th Itinerary
Gotokuji Station 15:54
Shinjuku Station 16:26
Omiya Station 17:04
Oyama Station 18:23
And it’s March already.
Iwafune Station 18:45
I hope we don’t catch a cold.
Hey, we should get something hot to drink.
Meet Akari at 7 PM!
We could get off at Shimokita.
Yeah, let’s do that.
Tohno.
Let’s get to practice.
Right.
Actually, I can’t make it to practice today.
Getting ready to move?
Something like that. Sorry.
It’s so nice of you, coming all the way to my station.
It’s a long trip, so be sure to take care of yourself.
I’ll be waiting for you at seven that night, in the station’s waiting room.
That afternoon, on the day I was to meet Akari,
It started to snow.
Hey, Takaki-kun. It’s that cat, Chobi.
He’s the one that’s always here, isn’t he?
But it looks like he’s alone today.
Where’s Mimi?
Don’t you feel sad, being all alone?
How was the book?
I like it. Last night, I read four billion years’ worth of evolution.
Which part?
Where they talk about the Anomalocaris.
The Cambrian Age!
I love the Hallucigenias.
They look like this.
Yeah, something like that.
What’s your favorite?
The Opabinia, I guess.
The one with five eyes?
As I look back, I think Akari and I were very alike somehow.
A new friend just transferred to our school. This is Tohno Takaki-kun.
One year after I’d transferred to the school in Tokyo,
Year 4, Class 3
Akari transferred there too, and was in my class.
Starting today, Shinohara Akari-san will be joining our class.
We were both still small and sickly, so we preferred the library to the playground.

Naturally, we got close to each other.
Our classmates teased us about it.
I feel kinda bad for her.
TAKAKI AND AKARI
JUST
MARRIED!
Those two are always together.
But it didn’t matter much to us because of the friendship we had.
You know it!
Oh! There he is!
Aw, what a nice guy!
Wow!
For some reason, I assumed we’d be going to the same junior high . . .
and we’d be always together.
Shinjuku, Shinjuku. This is the terminal station.
Passengers who are getting off,
please transfer to the Kyo-O subway for all J.R. lines.
It was the first time I had been to Shinjuku Station alone.
And it would be the first time I had been to any of those places on my route.
My heart was pounding.
I was going to meet Akari.
How did it go with that guy?
Who?
The one from Nishi Elementary.
Are you kidding? Don’t you think he’s a dork?
We’ll soon be arriving at Musashi Urawa station.
Musashi Urawa station.
There will be a four-minute stop as we wait for a “Rapid” line.
Passengers heading to Yonohon Town and Omiya,
please change to the express line.
Um . . . This is Shinohara.
May I speak to Takaki-kun please?
It’s Akari-chan.
What? Transferring schools?
What about Nishi Junior High?
After all that work to pass the entrance exam.
They said they’d do the paperwork to get me into a school in Tochigi.
I’m sorry.
No . . . There’s nothing you need to apologize for.
I told them I wanted to stay with my aunt in Katsushika, and commute to school from there.
But they objected, saying I’d have to wait until I’m older.
All right.
Don’t tell me any more!
That’s enough.
Sorry.
I held the receiver so tightly against my ear.
I could almost feel Akari’s pain through the phone.
But there was nothing I could do.
That place does have good food, doesn’t it?
Yeah. Well, see you later.
The terminal station, where I switched trains, was filled with commuters heading home.
Later.
Everyone’s shoes were soaked with snow and water.
The air was chilly, and full of that particular smell of a city on a snowy day.
This is an announcement for all passengers.
Utsunomiya lines bound for Oyama and Utsunomiya
will arrive eight minutes behind schedule due to heavy snow.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Until that moment,
It never even crossed my mind that the train might be delayed.
Suddenly, I became really worried.
Due to heavy snow, this train is running ten minutes behind schedule.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.
A short while after passing Omiya Station,
in what seemed like the blink of an eye, the buildings dotting the scenery spread few and far between.
Next stop, Kuki.
We apologize for arriving far behind schedule.
Those passengers changing to the Tobuiseisaki line,
please proceed to line 5.
This train will stop for ten minutes at this station
due to the late arrival of a connecting train.
We apologize for the delay,
and appreciate your understanding.
Sorry.
The train will stop for ten minutes at this station
due to the late arrival of a connecting train.
We apologize for the delay,
and appreciate your understanding.
This is Nogi.
We would like to express our apologies
as the train will temporarily stop at this station,
due to the late arrival of a connecting train.
We apologize for the delay, and appreciate your understanding.
The stations seemed unbelievably far apart.
And each time the train stopped at a station, it seemed like an eternity.
Nogi
Tochigi
Iwafune
The unfamiliar snow-covered wilderness outside the window,
the slow passage of time,
the pangs of hunger —
All these added to my unease.
I’m already late.
I’m sure she’s starting to worry.
To Akari
On that day
— the day I got that call —
Akari must have been much more upset than I was,
and I wasn’t able to comfort her.
I felt so ashamed of myself.
On graduation day, we must part with dear friends. . .
Well . . . I guess today we say good-bye.
Any summer vacation plans?
I received the first letter from her half a year later,
during the summer of my first year in junior high.
I knew her letter by heart.
Over the two weeks before our meeting day,
I wrote a letter to give to Akari.
There were just so many things I wanted to tell her,
so many things I wanted to ask her.
We apologize for the delay.
The train will soon depart for Utsunomiya.
This is Oyama.
Passengers on the bullet train bound for Tohoku, change here.
Passengers bound for Morioka on the Tohoku Bullet train,
please proceed to line 1.
Passengers bound for Tokyo,
please proceed to line 5.
Passengers taking the Mito line . . .
The following is an announcement for all passengers.
Trains running on the Ryomo lines
are running significantly behind schedule due to heavy snow.
We apologize for this delay.
We ask you to patiently wait for the arrival of the trains.
The next up-train headed for . . .
All I could do . . .
. . . was to keep heading for the station where Akari was waiting for me.
Line 8, from Ashikaga / Maebashi and bound for Takasaki, is now arriving.
Please remain inside the white lines when exiting the train.
This announcement is for all passengers.
Due to heavy snowfall, this train service will be delayed for route rescheduling.
We apologize for this delay. At present, we are not at liberty to say when service will resume.
I repeat:
Due to heavy snowfall, this train service will be delayed for route rescheduling.
We apologize for this delay. At present, we are not at liberty to say when service will resume.
Dear Takaki-kun, how are you?
Lately, I’ve been getting up early for club meetings, so I’m writing this letter on the train.
When I read her letters, I always envisioned her alone.
In the end, the train spent around two hours motionless,
in the middle of nowhere.
Every minute seemed like an eternity.
Time, heavy with malice, crept slowly by.
All I could do was grit my teeth and try to hold back tears.
Akari.
Please.
Don’t wait for me.
If you’d just go back home . . .
Line 3, from Ashikaga / Maebashi and bound for Takasaki, is arriving.
Due to heavy snowfall, the train service will be temporarily delayed.
Akari.
This is good.
Really? It’s just regular roasted tea.
Roasted tea? I’ve never had it before.
What?! I’m sure you have.
You think?
Of course!
Iwafune Station
I made this for you.
I can’t promise it’s any good.
Have some if you want.
Thank you.
I’m very hungry.
How is it?
I’ve never had anything so delicious before.
You’re exaggerating!
I’m serious!
It’s just because you’re hungry.
You think?
I’m sure it is.
I’ll have some too.
You’re going to move soon, right?
Yeah, next week.
Kagoshima, huh . . .
It’s so far away.
As it turned out, Tochigi is quite a distance away too!
I guess you won’t be able to go home now.
We have to close up. There are no more trains.
Yes, sir.
Take care. It’s snowing heavily.
Yes, sir.
Can you see it? That tree?
The one you wrote about in your letter?
Yes, the cherry tree.
Hey.
They look like snowflakes.
They do.
In that moment,
I felt like I understood the existence of eternity, the heart, the soul, and more.
I felt we had shared all the experiences of my thirteen years.
And in the next moment,
I became unbearably sad.
Sad — because I didn’t know what to do with her warmth against me,
or what to do with that soul, or how long I should hold on to them.
I came to the clear realization that we could not remain together.
The overwhelming weight of our lives to come
and the uncertainty of time hung over us.
But soon, my fears began to melt away,
leaving only Akari’s soft lips on mine.
That night, we stayed in a tiny shack at the corner of a field.
Wrapped up in an old blanket, we talked all night . . .
Until we finally fell asleep.
The next morning, as services resumed, I got on a train.
And there, Akari and I bade farewell.
I . . .
Takaki-kun . . .
Takaki-kun, I think you’ll be . . .
You will be okay! I know you will be!
Thank you.
Take care of yourself!
I’ll write to you. I’ll call!
I didn’t mention the letter I lost.
Because after we’d kissed . . .
To Tohno Takaki
. . . it seemed like the world had completely changed.
I wanted so badly to be able to protect her.
That was all I could think about,
as I gazed absently out the window.

Kanae, you going after class too?
Yeah. How about you, Sis?
Sure. But make sure you do your homework.
I will.
Here we go.
Good morning.
Hello, Tohno-kun. You’re early again.
You too, Sumida.
Did you go to the beach?
Sure did.
You’re practicing hard.
Well, not really.
See you later, Tohno-kun.
Later.
Are we ready? It’s about time to make your decisions.
Bring this back by Monday.
Talk it over with your parents.

Sounds like Sasaki-san’s going to a university in Tokyo.
No surprise there.
I’ll probably have to go to some junior college in Kumamoto.
How about you, Kanae?
Huh? Umm . . .
Will you get a job?
Umm . . .
You’re not thinking about anything, are you?
Except Tohno-kun.
I bet he has a girlfriend back in Tokyo.
Hey!
Still having a rough time with it?
I can’t figure out what’s wrong.
You shouldn’t worry yourself so much.
You’ll catch a wave again before you know it.
You’re so easy-going, Sis.
What’s the big rush?
The way things are going, I’ll graduate without having said anything.
Thanks, Sis.
I’ll give you a ride.
That’s all right. I’ll take my scooter.
Sumida, you heading home now?
Yeah. You too, Tohno-kun?
Yeah.
Want to head back together?
If I had a tail like a dog,
it would be wagging so hard, my happiness would have been obvious.
I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking “good thing I wasn’t a dog.”
And I was amazed with how stupid a thought that was, even for me.
Yet . . .
The ride home with Tohno-kun made me so happy.
Right from the beginning, Tohno-kun seemed different from others, somehow.
Year 2 Class 1
I’m Tohno Takaki.
Though I’m used to transferring schools because of my Dad’s job,
I’m not used to this island yet.
It’s nice to meet you all.
That very day, when I was in eighth grade, I fell in love with him.
I studied hard because I wanted to go to the same high school as he.
Somehow, I managed to pass my school’s entrance exams.
The more I see Tohno-kun, the more I love him.
It was scary.
Every day was painful.
But every time I see him, I’m happy.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
Tohno-kun, same thing again?
It’s so good!
Sumida, you always think your decisions through seriously, don’t you?
Yeah.
I’ll be outside.
Okay.
I’ll have this.
That’ll be ninety yen.
Here.
Thank you as always.
There you are. What did you buy?
Well, at first I couldn’t decide, but . . .
Sometimes, I see Tohno-kun writing e-mails to somebody.
I can’t help wishing that he was writing to me,
Gazing Upon the Earth from Outer Space
every time I see it.
Cub! I’m home!
Cub! Cub! I’m back!
The following is a Town Hall announcement:
The Sakai Nokyo Gas station is on duty this coming. . .
Sumida Kanae-san of class 3-1.
Please report to Ito-sensei in the counseling room.
Hey, Tohno. That’s your girlfriend.
She’s not my girlfriend.

We’re at year-end, and you’re the only one who hasn’t turned this in.
I’m sorry.
Hey, I don’t want to say it like this . . .
But it’s not something to get yourself so worked up over.
Has your sister said anything?
No.
If you can’t make up your mind, why not try a junior college in the prefecture?
But . . .
This doesn’t have anything to do with my sister.
I mean . . .
Be it in surfing, which I nagged my sister to let me start,
or with him, the most important person in the entire world to me,
I’m not making any headway.
Thanks, as always.
Not at all. See you next time.
When I get near Tohno-kun, I get this tight sensation deep in my chest.
Tohno-kun.
Sumida, what’s up? How did you know I was here?
I saw your scooter, so I stopped by. Is that okay?
Yeah. I’m glad you came.
I mean, since we couldn’t meet in the parking lot . . .
Yeah!
He’s so nice.
Sometimes, it makes me want to cry.
Hey, Tohno-kun. Are you trying for college?
Yeah. A college in Tokyo.
Tokyo . . . I see.
I kind of thought so.
Why’s that?
You seem like you want to go somewhere far away. For some reason . . .
How about you, Sumida?
I don’t even know what I’ll do tomorrow.
Maybe nobody does.
Really?! Even you?
Naturally.
But you seem to know exactly what you are doing.
Not at all. Me, I’m lost all the time.
I just do what I can. That’s all I can do.
Really?
Yeah, you’re right.
Making a plane?
Yes.
No Thru Traffic
Incredible.
They say it’s towed at five kilometers per hour.
It’s going down to the South Tanega launch facility.
It’s been a while, but there is going to be a launch this year, isn’t there?
Yeah.
They say it’s going to go all the way to the farthest reaches of the solar system.
A journey of many years.
I want you to advise Kanae on her future. She’s so unfocused.
She’ll be all right. She’s not a kid any more.
I was just like her at her age.
Listen, Cub. Tohno-kun doesn’t know either.
He’s just like me, that Tohno-kun.
It must be . . .
. . . a lonelier journey than anyone can imagine.
Cutting through absolute darkness,
encountering nothing except the occasional stray hydrogen atom.
Flying blindly into the abyss, believing that therein lie the answers to the mysteries of the universe.
And us . . .
To that end, how far should we go?
And how far can we go?
To: Undefined
The dream I had this morning
I dreamt I was walking in a field
with that girl on another planet.
As always, I couldn’t see her face.
There was something nostalgic about the air . . .
Save message?
Yes
No
I wonder when I got into the habit of writing messages to nobody.
Kanae, have you figured out what you’re going to do?
Not yet. But it’s fine.
I’ve made a decision.
I’ll just start by doing each and every thing that I can!
I’m off!
Since that day, several typhoons have passed the island.
And each time they did, it became cooler.
The wind that blew across the sugar cane fields became crisper.
The sky looked a little bigger.
And the outlines of the clouds grew softer.
The kids in my grade who rode scooters started wearing their jackets.
Then, on a mid-October day tinged with the remains of summer,
I rode a wave for the first time in six months.
Tonight’s forecast is clear skies,
with maximum wind speeds of eight meters per second.
I heard that Yamada told Sasaki-san he likes her.
No surprise there.
Huh? Kanae, you sure seem happy today.
Did something happen with Tohno-kun?
No way?!
What is important is this formula . . .
Today, I’m going to tell Tohno-kun how I feel about him.
If I don’t tell him today, after riding that wave . . .
I’ll never be able to.
Sumida.
Toh—Tohno-kun.
Heading home now?
Yeah.
I see.
Well, let’s head home together.
Huh, Sumida? You decided already?
Yeah.
What’s wrong?
Don’t be so . . .
What?
No. . . Sorry.
It’s nothing.
Something wrong?
Yeah. That’s strange.
No good?
Yeah.
I wonder if the spark plug’s dead.
Was this a hand-me-down?
Yeah, from my big sister.
Was it cutting out on you when you accelerate?
It might have been.
Let’s leave them here and have someone pick them up later.
Today, let’s just walk.
I can walk by myself. You just head on home.
I’ve only got a little left to go, anyway.
Besides, I kind of feel like walking.
Tohno-kun.
Please . . .
What’s wrong?
Sorry, it’s nothing.
I’m sorry.
Sumida.
I’m begging you, please . . .
Don’t be so nice to me.
Desperately, reaching recklessly towards the sky.
Launching that massive object,
in search of something overwhelmingly far off in the distance . . .
I began to understand why Tohno-kun seemed different from the others.
At the same time,
I came to a very clear realization that Tohno-kun was never looking at me.
So that day, I didn’t say anything to Tohno-kun.
Tohno-kun is certainly nice;
Very nice indeed.
But . . .
Tohno-kun’s always looking past me,
at something far beyond.
I guess my wish to be with Tohno-kun will never come true.
But still . . .
But I still won’t be able to stop loving him.
Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
I fell asleep that night crying,
the only thoughts in my head, those of Tohno-kun . . .

3/1-4 API Meeting
4/6 API Delivery
I felt it strongly . . .
If I turned around that instant, she’d have turned to look at me too.
The last Chuo line train bound for Tokyo is now arriving.
I wish you’d stay for the New Year’s holiday.
I know, but I have many preparations to make.
Yeah, I suppose so.
Make sure you cook something nice for him.
I will.
Call us any time you need to, Akari.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll see you again at the wedding next month.
Don’t worry so much.
You’d better head home. It’s cold.
Last night, I dreamt about the past;
When we were both still children.
I guess it’s the old letter I found yesterday.
To Tohno Takaki
Tohno-kun, it’s been a while. How are you? I wasn’t sure about contacting you, but there’s . . . something I need to say.
Message sent
Mizuno-san.
Yes?
The meeting.
Coming.
While I live my life,
sadness piles up all around me.
It’s on my sheets, dried in the sun;
on the toothbrush in my bathroom;
in the history logs of my cell phone;
“I still love you.”
That’s what the girl I’d been with for three years said in that e-mail.
She wrote, “We must have exchanged e-mails a thousand times.
But I doubt our hearts got closer by more than a centimeter.”
For the past few years, I’ve wanted to move on;
To grasp something beyond my reach.
What that is, I have no idea.
All I’ve been able to do is go on working,
not knowing where these obsessive thoughts come from.
One day, I realized my heart was withering,
and in it there was nothing but pain.
Then one morning,
I realized that my beliefs, which I once held so passionately, had completely disappeared.
That was it. I couldn’t take any more.
So I quit my job.
Yesterday, I had a dream —
A dream of long ago.
In the dream, we were still thirteen.
We were standing in a field covered with snow,
where in the dim light from distant houses,
Japan’s Deep Space Probe Finally Ventures
Beyond the Solar System
our footsteps were all that could be seen in the new fallen snow.
For that reason,
we both believed without any doubt . . .
That someday, we’d watch the cherry blossoms fall again —
Together.

konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai noni Even though I don’t expect I’d ever find it there
inochi ga kurikaesu naraba If I were to live my life over
nandomo kimi no moto e I’d always want to be with you
hoshii mono nado mou nani mo nai For there’s nothing I want in this world
kimi no hoka ni taisetsu na mono nado Nothing else that matters to me as much as you
