There she is!
Thanks for waiting.
Sorry. It took me a long time to get ready.
No, that's okay.
Hey!
Akira!
Sorry, they begged me to bring them along.
Let's go.
Okay!
After school, shoe cupboard, resonating sound of rain
My shirt gets wet as I run out with no umbrella
You’re out of my league
I wish I was the rain... so I could easily feel you
Let me touch you...
One, don’t treat me like a child
Two, it’s even worse to play it off by being nice
I love you （can you hear me?）
I love you
Right now, I can jump over the puddle
After the rain, I caught your eye as a rainbow appeared
You’re so indifferent to romance... That’s why!
Raindrops sparkle against the blue summer sky
Lulu lala I’m in love
After the rain...
Right now, I have no doubts
I need no umbrella
RAIN OF SORROW
-Wow, fish! -Fish!
Hey there!
They're each 300 yen.
-I'll have the tangerine one. -Okay!
Sho, it's been a long time.
Seems like you got a lot taller.
Yeah. I'm going through a growth spurt.
-I want some takoyaki! -Me too!
-Okay, okay. -We want takoyaki!
Here.
Be careful of your yukata.
Oh, but we did see you at the bookstore the other day.
What?
You were with a friend, so we didn't say hi.
You should have just said hi.
We didn't want to bother you.
Haru.
-I need to pee. -Me too.
What? Right now?
-I can take them. -That'd be great.
-But it'll cost you 500 yen. -What?!
Thanks.
-Come on, let's go. -I need to pee.
-Hurry! -Seriously,
-he's such a smooth talker. -I need to pee!
YO-YO FISHING 200 YEN
-I'll try it once. -That'll be 200 yen.
-Here. -I want to do it too.
That'll be 200 yen.
Here. Use this.
This brings back memories.
Akira, which one are you aiming for?
-The red one. -Red, huh?
SHAVED ICE
I'll go for the red one, too.
I think that string is getting more fragile each year.
Does it matter?
You're guaranteed to get one anyway.
Let's go over there and rest.
Akira.
Thanks for inviting me today.
This is the first time we've hung out since I quit the team.
After everything, none of us passed the preliminary round of the tournament.
Pathetic isn’t it? Ishii was frustrated about it too.
I don't think it's pathetic.
Akira...
Why don't you stop by during practice--?
-Sorry, give me a minute. -Akira?
I wonder who that is.
That's not Akira's dad.
Sorry about that. It was my manager from work.
Your manager?
Akira.
Do you like him?
What?
Seriously? He's so old!
I mean, is the boy who's with him his...?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Let's go find Sho and the girls.
Akira.
Akira, you don't tell me anything anymore.
I don't know what you're thinking at all.
-You haven't asked me either. -There's no way I could've asked!
You say you want me to talk to you
and ask you about things...
but you're the one who's making it hard to talk to you or to ask you about anything!
Hey.
Hey! How come you guys are crying?
Because...
We can't go back to how we used to be.
There, there. Don't cry.
Haruka?
-I'm going home! -Wait!
The carrying of the mikoshi will begin shortly.
Sorry, Akira! I gotta go!
-Wasshoi! -Wasshoi!
TAKADANOBABA STATION
Takadanobaba hasn't changed.
What?
Seriously? They're not supposed to be closed yet.
BOOKSTORE
Well, it's still a bit early, but I guess I'll just go.
DONDEN
I'm sorry.
No worries. I'm sorry too.
CHIHIRO KUJO
-Here. -Thank you.
-We got it signed! -We were so lucky!
Hello!
I'm supposed to meet a friend here.
Oh, he's at the table towards the back.
Chihiro.
Hey.
Why did you choose this place?
This was our favorite place.
This place brings back memories.
Excuse me! One bottle of beer, please!
Yes, sir!
Oh, and...
Oh, I've already ordered something to nibble on.
What?
Thanks for waiting!
Here you go!
Yeah, this is what I wanted!
Donden's miso dengaku!
This was our favorite dish.
I was so surprised to hear from you.
I think it's been about 10 years.
How have you been?
Well...
WINDOW BY THE WAVE
There was something that made me think of you.
-You look good, as usual. -I guess you could say that.
There was a young girl with your book in front of this place.
You might not be interested in this,
but I do have some young fans, too.
Well, your book was rather interesting.
-You've read it? -Yup.
-You bought one? -Nope.
-What? -I borrowed it from the library.
So how was it?
Like I said, it wasn't too bad.
What do you mean, "it wasn't too bad"? It's a masterpiece!
It was okay.
Were you the one who gave me a one-star review on Amezon?
That wasn't me.
Whatever.
I brought something interesting since I was going to meet you today.
Ta-da!
NOSTALGIA
It's the self-published magazine we made together in college.
-This brings back so many memories! -Right?
I can't believe you still have this.
Right?
Catch Me in The Cabbage Field. What's with this title?
I used to only eat cabbage every day because I didn't have any money.
Oh, that's Takada senpai's page.
I used to get beaten up by him a lot because we used to fight about movie reviews.
What's wrong?
MIDORI
Oh, you found Midori's name?
How many years has it been since you got divorced? Do you still see her sometimes?
I haven't seen her.
We just talk on the phone sometimes about Yuto.
You blew off our trip to India and married her instead.
And I made my debut as a writer
with the novel I wrote while I was alone on that trip.
I'm sorry about back then.
We were all young.
-You still write novels, don't you? -What?
No, not anymore.
You're lying.
Your face says that you still do.
Well, I do write sometimes...
Here and there...
Just a little bit.
I haven't actually finished writing one in four or five years.
It's not like I have plans to show it to someone either.
It's just a little something.
I haven't talked about this with someone in a long time.
No one around me knows that I secretly write novels.
Well, it's not something to brag about.
You're right.
And you can just talk to me when you feel like it.
Come on, drink!
Excuse me! One more bottle of beer, please!
Yes, sir!
I guess we are middle-aged men after all.
It's cheap, tasty and loud!
That place is a true friend to college students.
I've had a bit too much to drink.
Oh, there's a taxi. Kondo, I'll drop you off halfway.
No, I'll walk to sober myself up.
-What? Let's take the cab. -I'll walk.
-Cab. -Walk.
-Then I'll walk, too. -Seriously?
I can't. I can't walk anymore!
That's why I told you to take a cab.
Come on, get up.
You're actually still writing novels, aren't you?
Again? This is the 18th time you've asked me that.
-Wrong! This is the 15th time. -Who cares?
What?
Are you all right?
Just kidding.
Kondo.
Look at this.
The moon, huh?
No matter where the water may be...
No matter if that water is pure or stagnant...
It will always reflect the moon.
-That was so cheesy! -That was horrible!
I'm gonna take the cab.
Yeah, get in, get in.
-You're going to walk, right? -Yeah.
The station isn't far from here.
You're so stubborn.
Oh, speaking of which...
Your description of the female lead who's a high school student wasn't the greatest.
What?
What do you even know about high school girls?
Don't underestimate the manager of a family restaurant!
Fine. Whatever.
Driver, you can start driving now.
-Okay. -You're sulking.
That's so childish.
We're not adults.
We're classmates.
Call me anytime.
See you!
Let's go to the next place!
Let's keep on drinking!
-Okay, okay. -I'm a genius!
The world better be ready for me!
Kondo, you're still handwriting your manuscript?
Shut up.
If I could, I would go back...
to that season of our youth.
NOSTALGIA MANUSCRIPT
That rush of excitement we used to share.
Akira!
-Morning! -Morning.
It's the new term.
-I have some souvenirs! -Really?
-Where did you go? -You should be able to tell by the way I talk.
-There's no way I can tell from that. -I know! You went to Nagoya!
-What's up with Kyan? -Maybe she needs to go to the restroom.
CAFÉ RESTAURANT GARDEN
Here are the orders.
-Additional orders of french fries and fried chicken. -Okay!
Thanks.
Tachibana seems like she's feeling a bit down.
Is it because Nishida isn't here today?
That miso dengaku from the other day was so good.
Oh, hello.
Hi. Do you need some help?
No, I can do it.
You seem a bit down today.
Did something happen?
I got into a fight with my friend.
We've been teammates, for a long time...
but things have kind of gotten awkward between us since I had to quit the team.
And...
The team?
Oh, yeah.
I might not be able to patch things up with her.
-I-- -Tachibana!
-I'm sorry, I should get back. -Oh, okay.
Oh, isn't tonight--?
Tachibana. I need to talk to you.
-Hello. -Hi.
-A full moon. -That's right.
And it's a supermoon tonight.
What's a supermoon?
A full moon that looks bigger and brighter than the usual one.
Some people say it can make your wishes come true.
My wishes...
I...
also had a friend who I was close to when I was a student.
We were in the same social club.
It's not like we got into a fight or anything...
but things kind of got awkward between us and we grew apart.
What happened with your friend in the end?
I met him...
for the first time in 10 years.
I had a great time.
I think I was able to feel that way because we've both matured.
But just as he was leaving he said:
"We're not adults.
We're classmates."
My point is...
Even if you and your friend are growing apart now,
I'm sure you’ve shared moments together that are irreplaceable.
No matter how much time passes, that won't disappear.
That goes for you,
and also for your friend.
Even if I feel anxious about us growing apart right now...
I'm going to wish upon this moon...
that we'll grow closer again someday.
Raining One summer afternoon in a rain shower
Under the umbrella Kissing
I kissed gently on your wet cheek
I’m still longing for that season
I’m so distracted that I keep daydreaming
Nothing but you’re the part of me
It’s still not enough It still hasn’t gone away
Innocence of our stacked hands
What a good thing we lose?
What a bad thing we knew
In the rain, I get soaked in those phrases
It’s just not enough
I still can’t say goodbye To the days I dreamed of counting down
What a good thing we lose?
What a bad thing we knew
If I hadn’t touched you, would I be smiling？
