Wow, so cool.
I arrived too early.
Subtitled and segmented for you by the team I hope to hug you @ viki
What are you looking at?
Sorry for intruding.
What was that just now?
♫ Oh... I know ♫
♫ I need you in my life ♫
♫ A gentle breeze blows through after a long time ♫
♫ Opening the album hidden deep in my heart with you ♫
♫ Still nostalgic and imprinted on my mind... your smile ♫
♫ When the two shadows overlap, the time stopped ♫
♫ Please stay in my life ♫
♫ I won't forget the day I met you ♫
♫ I want to embrace the present and the past as we continue walking ♫
♫ Even time after time, I know it won't fade away ♫
♫ Finally found you, my beautiful blue star ♫
♫ Let me stay in your heart ♫
♫ Oh... I know ♫
♫ I need you in my life ♫
♫ Let me stay in your heart ♫
♫ You're my blue star ♫
[Episode 2] I'm Riko Saeki.
I'll do my best, so please give me your guidance.
Nice to meet you.
As for now, gradually get familiar with the job while assisting Shindo.
Okay.
I think you will find it interesting to work with 23 different companies.
Really? Okay.
We show our love for the town through this job.
We are aiming for Kaname Town to be a utopia.
Utopia.
You're now officially one of us.
Right. Kaname Town will be...
A utopia.
That means we're creating a better city together.
Is that right?
Was my explanation lacking?
- It was. - Look who's talking.
You came at the right time. Ms. Seaki, let me introduce you.
This is Midoriko Fukai from the next office and Shuji Ichihara, a photographer.
I'm Riko Saeki. Nice to meet you.
You must be a new worker. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet--
Did you say Shuji Ichihara?
No way.
Do you know Shuji?
It can't be such a coincidence.
- Are you–? - Nice to meet you.
Your first love Shu was working at the same office building?
Moreover, you witnessed him kissing a girl?
The heck...? So dramatic.
I know.
Arata, why didn't you tell her about him?
Huh? I couldn't even imagine Shuji is your first love.
I didn't plan this out to be a surprise.
I'm super curious about the messy situation in the company.
It's not funny. I saw someone kissing on my first day of work.
If that wasn't shocking enough,
they shook my hand as nothing had happened.
They greeted me in a straight face.
I didn't know how to react to that.
Not only that, the man turned out to be Shuji Ichihara.
I'm so confused.
He could be someone who has the same name.
He acted as if he met you for the first time.
I'm positive. That was Shu for sure.
I could never forget his face.
But he could've forgotten about you.
You were only an elementary student back then.
I suppose. Shu was a high school student.
I was... only this tall.
That's too short.
Who cares?
Mr. Shuji Ichihara is a photographer, isn't he?
Right.
Shu used to love cameras and took my pictures often.
You see? There are similarities.
Your Shu illness is appearing again.
Maybe a god is telling you to wake up from your dream.
Your prince charming, who you reunited with after eight years,
turned into an office romance guy who loves to kiss in the office.
Shut up. It's burning. Eat now.
I'll definitely remind him
that the weight of the 12 years we spent together is stronger than the past 8 years.
Okay. Let's eat.
Good morning.
Yay. Nobody is here yet.
That picture...
The picture...
By Shuji Ichihara.
I knew it. That was him.
His name is written in the same Kanji characters. It can't be a mere coincidence.
So noisy.
Why are you here?
Good morning.
It's you again.
Excuse me, Mr. Shuji Ichihara.
What?
It's not our first time meeting, isn't it?
Didn't you use to live in Matsumoto?
Did you move to Tokyo to attend a college?
So what?
I'm Riko, Riko Saeki. The elementary student who lived next door.
I used to call you Shu. Do you remember me? I remember you clearly.
Okay. Whatever.
Remember me or not?
This is our webpage.
We introduce the recommended shops in Kaname Town.
Hold events for the town revitalization and write the articles.
Revitalize our community and create a comfortable place
for many people to live. That's our main task.
Let me show you how to create a webpage.
First, choose the size of the article.
Then insert a photo and add sentences.
You're talented.
I know.
Will I be able to write an article in the future?
Only if you continue to work here.
Of course, since you helped me to get the job. I can do this.
Don't mention it.
Do you have any questions?
Arata?
Yes?
How many Shuji Ichiharas do you think exist on the earth?
What?
I asked him personally this morning if he's the Shu I know.
But he only gave me an evasive answer.
Why do you think that is?
Maybe he is not the one.
You're wrong.
Arata, do you have any information about Mr. Ichihara?
I heard he was working in the US and came back to Japan recently.
Where was he before he left for the US?
Are you that curious about him?
I'm sure that's Shu. There is nothing wrong with my eyes (judgment).
My heart aches so much.
- Shindo. - Yes?
Can you come here for a second?
I'll be right back.
- Your skill has improved. - Really?
I remember Shu put his weight on his right foot when standing.
Put his weight on his right foot.
- I need to pick one more photo. - Is that right?
That too. He has a habit of crossing arms when thinking.
A habit of crossing arms.
- I'll leave the rest to you. - Okay.
He always starts with his left foot when walking.
Start with his left foot when walking.
Actually, this is a great idea.
What's the matter, Saeki?
Arata, I think it's important for me to collect evidence.
Huh?
What's wrong?
Did you catch a cold?
I wonder.
Here. Very effective for a sore throat.
- What's this? - It's candy. [Sweet Medicine for Love]
- Candy? - Super effective.
- Thank you. - You can have it. I bought them in bulk.
Did you?
I hope you feel better.
Take care of your body.
He coughed a lot back then too.
Is he sensitive to dryness?
He coughed a lot back then too.
Is he sensitive to dryness?
[Boiled Egg]
Boiled egg?
He started to peel the shell.
He's good at peeling. I know.
The shell... it's hard to peel the shell.
I'm not good at peeling the shell.
He got the shell off completely.
What is he grabbing now?
He pours ketchup on the boiled egg as usual.
I took a bite.
Looks delicious. I always wondered why he eats it with ketchup.
I've never thought my curiosity could be beneficial.
What's next?
The boiled egg wasn't enough, so he bought an omelet on rice.
Shu's mom used to scold him for eating too many eggs.
Too much ketchup. He's pouring additional ketchup.
Could he be a ketchup-freak?
It's all red. I can't even see the eggs.
Red all over. He took a bite.
Looks delicious.
Mama...
- What's wrong? - Mama...
What's the matter?
I can't find my mom.
He always talks to children on their eye level.
I have to take notes.
He talks...
It's going to be okay.
- Where have you been? - She is here.
Are you relieved?
He patted his head.
He used to pat my head too. He hasn't changed.
He pats heads.
Oh, he is leaving.
Where is he going?
I'm sorry.
- Oh? You are really cute. - Please excuse me.
Wait. Don't go just yet.
Let's hang out together. Aren't you alone anyway?
- No, thank you. - Don't be like that.
I know a good bar.
Let's go.
Wait a minute.
You piss me off.
Shu!
- That's enough. - Shut up.
Why don't you fight back?
Please stop. Please!
Police... I'm calling the police.
Let's leave.
Shu, I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
Don't follow me around.
You're a stalker wannabe? What were you thinking?
You followed him. You're no different from Mr. Suzuki.
I deeply regret my action.
I just wanted to confirm if he is Shu or not.
What would you do when you find out he is Shu?
Are you going to confess your love to him? Doesn't he have a girlfriend?
Well...
Let her be if she wants to confirm the fact.
Arata...
Thanks, Arata. And sorry, Yoshino.
- I'm just worried about you, Riko. - I know.
- You have classes after this? - Right.
I'm going to work first.
See ya.
I've never thought Riko would be so obsessed with this matter.
I'm sure it's been bugging her for so long.
She could have an issue we wouldn't understand.
It's my first time seeing her being passionate about something.
Do you regret inviting Riko to your part-time job?
Why would I?
Nothing.
Why does he refuse to admit it? I know it's him for sure.
Sorry. I was too harsh earlier.
Yoshino, you weren't wrong about
me being a stalker wannabe.
I'll be more careful.
He was always scratching his eyes back then.
He hasn't changed a bit.
Your wound looks terrible.
Does it hurt?
It's only a scratch so I'm fine.
I can treat your wound.
You shouldn't be sleeping here.
I told you you can stay at my place.
Let me think about it.
You're welcome anytime.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
The newcomer keeps staring at you.
Do you find her annoying?
She must've seen our awkward moment.
It's okay to cry when you're with me.
It makes me happy when you rely on me.
Shu and his girlfriend are in front of me and I saw a line I can't cross.
Shu doesn't need me, a woman from the past.
Riko...
If you give up now, you would regret it for sure.
Don't you want to find out the truth?
So what if Shu has a girlfriend?
You can't move forward unless you confess your feelings for him from the past eight years.
Yoshino.
They said people fall in love.
But I fell deeply in love with my first love and am unable to crawl out of it.

♫ the promise of that day ♫
♫ I wonder if you've forgotten ♫
♫ But I remember like it was yesterday ♫
♫ Because my hands are too small, ♫
♫ I've lost things countless times ♫
♫ But only one thing, only my feelings, ♫
♫ I always grasp onto it so I won't lose it ♫
Shuji Ichihara.
What do you want?
Your habit of crossing your arms when thinking.
Your gesture when you talk to kids.
You pour ketchup on a boiled egg because you're a ketchup-freak.
You cough a lot because your throat is sensitive.
Shu was the same way.
Moreover, your habit of scratching your eyes.
Your behavior is the same as Shu. Every single one of them.
I know who you are even if you lie to me or ignore me.
I have concrete evidence. The photo I brought from my home
and the photo in the office, the two photos are taken by the same person.
The photo of your hand over the blue sky as you can see here.
The way your veins bulge and the shape of your hand creases.
The location of your mole. Everything is the same.
I know you're Shu who I have been in love with for a long time.

[Preview] I’m dizzy by the sex appeal of a real man.
Did something happen to those two?
What should you do if someone tries to kiss you suddenly?
Don't disturb him.
Shuji and you are living in two different worlds.
The Shuji Ichihara you used to know doesn't exist anymore.
Kissing is not a big deal to me.
