The habit of crossing your arms when thinking.
The 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, the habit of scratching your eyes.
Everything is the same. Everyone 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.
Can you see 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 the Shu I've been in love with for a long time.
Yes, you're right.
Shu, I missed you.
There is no way I'm gonna kiss you.
Eh?
Shuji Ichihara who you used to know doesn't exist anymore.
Subtitled and segmented for you by the team I hope to hug you @ viki
A few centimeters away from touching,
seems so close but far
which makes me feel lonely.
♫ 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 are my blue star ♫
[Episode 3]
- Here. - Thanks.
[Worcestershire Sauce]
Thank you for the food.
No!
Hmm?
Geez.
How did it go with a man from your work?
It was Shu indeed but...
But what?
Shuji Ichihara who you used to know doesn't exist anymore.
It's nothing.
What the...!!
Yuk. So gross.
It's disgusting.
It's a town renovation.
Enliven the town by promoting arts and cultural activities.
Therefore, our job to be a mediator between providers and citizens.
We renovate a house that has been unoccupied
and invite a rising artist to hold an art exhibition.
Wow, amazing.
Shindo will write the article and post it on our web magazine.
Unexpectedly he's talented.
Unexpectedly you're rude, CEO.
Unexpectedly?
Ms. Seaki, feel free to submit any opinions and projects.
Have you thought of one already?
Well... I'm terribly sorry but
I haven't.
- CEO, she doesn't understand jokes. - I can tell.
- Sorry. Don't take it seriously. - It's fine.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Let's go back to work.
So frustrating.
Look at me.
Kissing is no big deal to me.
There is no way I can do that.
I'll leave the rest to you. Let's go back to work.
Time for work.
Saeki? Are you ready for the interview?
Oh, yes. I'll get ready.
The building was deteriorated badly, so it must've been hard to renovate.
It was.
The most important point in a renovation is
how to preserve the original state.
Is that why you left the Japanese room as it is?
That's right.
I thought it would be comforting to have a tatami room in a gallery.
I agree.
It was so relaxing.
I glad that you felt that way.
What is your next project?
I want to build a huge walk-in closet in the abandoned elementary school.
Walk-in closet?
The gym would be a good use for that.
Yes, a good idea.
Arata is cool.
Huh?
When you were talking to Architect Ueshima on a same level,
you look like a mature and capable man.
Is that because you thought of me being irresponsible?
Correct.
How can you say that?
Did you propose the interview to the CEO?
I did. It's my research theme
how architecture influences people from the sociological perspective.
I've been wanting to talk to an architect once.
It's great that you're thinking of your studies too.
That's normal.
I just want to use these experiences as my selling point for job interviews.
I haven't figured out my goal yet.
I have no desire or skill to do anything.
Is that were you worried about lately?
I noticed you were spacing out in the office.
If you want, you can always talk to me.
Thanks.
- Oh, right. - What's wrong?
What would you do if someone tries to kiss you suddenly?
What?
Like this.
What are you doing? You startled me.
Sorry about that.
Thanks anyway. See ya.
Hey!
Does it bother you?
About what?
The new girl who is working at the next office.
You seem distracted ever since she showed up.
You must be imagining things.
What kind of relationship do you have with her?
She was just a childhood friend.
Childhood friend?
What a nice sound.
People say a photographer press shutter with one's heart.
Don't let your emotions be a bad influence on your work.
You know now is an important time for you.
I'm going to proceed with the matter.
Okay.
[Aozora Gakuin University]
Is Riko acting strange?
She seems absent-minded during work, so I'm worried.
I think Shu is the cause of her odd behavior.
What? Do you mean Shuji?
Right. She changes the topic whenever I ask her about Shuji.
Although she couldn't stop talking about Shu till now.
What kind of person do you think Shuji is in your eyes?
What kind of person?
He is capable of work and very confident.
He is a cool mature man.
He seems so perfect. I bet he has a dirty little secret.
Those two reunited after eight years.
Elementary student Riko is now a college student.
Shu's heart was ignited after seeing Riko grew up to be a young lady.
Roar.
Riko hesitated first, but soon she was attracted to a sex appeal of a mature man.
Roar. Oh no!
- Roar. - Do you think...
something had happened between those two?
I was only kidding.
I guess every woman is attracted to a guy like Shuji.
I'm not sure. It depends on personal taste.
I dislike a man so-called perfect.
Is that right?
I like more of a clumsy type.
I prefer a man less fortunate but honest.
That sounds like a loser.
Absolutely not.
Don't be so defensive.
Right. This is bad.
This is terrible. What should I do?
How did this happen?
It's not supposed to be like this.
Ah!
Did you take these photos?
I did. It's terrible, isn't it?
The worst I've seen.
What should I do now?
Let me see.
Wow, that's good.
Thank you.
Wow, hard to believe it's was my photo.
He's good.
Do you mind if I sit here?
Please do.
As his agent, let me be frank with you.
Please don't disturb him.
Eh?
Two years ago, I encountered this photo in the US.
Is this the photo that Shu took?
Yes, that's right.
When I met him, he was only an assistant in a production company.
But his photos possess the power to attract people.
When I saw this photo I was certain that
he's going to be a first-rate photographer.
Near future, the entire country will be filled with his photos.
So I bet on him with everything I had to make that happen.
Don't you get it?
He is not your childhood friend anymore.
- I just... - Shuji and you are living in two different worlds.
That's not true.
I know I could be helpful to him.
You don't understand.
There is nothing you can do for him right now.
I guess you haven't thought through.
A college student is still a child.
I'm a hopeless child that can't do anything. KInouchi House]
What's wrong with her?
I think she's losing her sanity.
Yoshino, do we have more beers?
We do, but...
You can't hold your alcohol well.
Are you treating me like a child?
I'm not.
I attended my coming-of-age ceremony, so I'm a respectable adult.
Yoshino, give me whisky and water.
- Whiskey and water? - That's a mature drink, don't you think?
Is it?
Forget it.
I want to eat and drink until my heart contents tonight.
What are those?
It's meatballs. Really easy to make.
Good job, Yoshino.
Let me take photos first.
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Apparently I forgot my smartphone in the office.
- I'm going to get it. - Are you sure? Do you want me to come with you?
I can go alone since I'm an adult.
Okay.
I'll be back.
- Be careful, okay? - Okay.
Arata, why don't you eat.
Right.
I forgot my smartphone.
Is this it?
Yeah. Thanks.
- Here. - Thank you.
Are you still working?
Sort of.
What is it?
I wonder is there anything I can do for you.
I haven't thought about my future yet, so I don't know what to do.
Sorry to disturb your work.
It's not too late to find things you want to do.
It's not as easy as you say.
I'm not talented like you.
I'm not talented either.
What?
After believe in yourself and work diligently,
only then you get to do the things you love.
Not because you're talented.
How about you find the things that motivate you first?
Things to motivate me?
Well, it doesn't matter if you want to stay the same.

Hello, this is Riko Saeki. I'm 21 years old.
I'll work hard.
I'll keep my word.
- Bravo. - Riko, what are you doing?
I was sharing my thoughts and preview with viewers.

Am I blocking you?
Do you have anything to announce about the next episode?
Next episode?
What's the matter, you two?
Something...
Does something happen?
- Yeah. - Something does happen.
Something happens between you two?
Seriously?
It does?
Oh my.
Don't worry about it.
I see.
Well, the next episode on Hoping to Give You a Big Hug Tonight.
[Preview] Can you help me to research something?
That sounds like a date.
This is part of our job. Not only that, I'm with Arata.
Shu, you looked so cool and professional.
It's nostalgic which made me happy.
I feel awkward being alone with you.
I'm sorry.
