CEO, congratulation on your marriage!
Oh, thank you.
- Thank you, guys. - Cheers!
I quit my job and established my own business.
So I made my girlfriend wait for so long.
I think it's time for me to settle down.
Do you have a picture of your girlfriend?
I do have one.
- I want to see it. - Me, too.
- Is that why you asked? - Yes.
Wait a second.
She doesn't look good in the photo.
Let's see. Hold on.
This is her.
She's a beauty.
- You think so? - Yup.
People say we look good together.
Yeah, you two look great.
You're suited for each other.
I guess we are if you say so.
When is your wedding day?
We're not having a ceremony.
We're both busy.
After the discussion, we decided to submit the marriage registration.
Oh really?
I think the food is ready.
- Shall we? - Yes, I want to try it.
- Which one would you like? - Choose one for me, Yoshimi.
My name is Yoshino.
♫ 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 ♫ [Hoping to Give You a Big Hug Tonight]
[Episode 9] I guess the CEO is not having a wedding ceremony.
Yeah. A lot of people don't these days.
Really?
Are you against having a wedding ceremony?
I want a ceremony, but nothing extravagant.
Really?
I am definitely going to have one.
Walking down the wedding aisle while guests are throwing me flower petals.
Wearing a pure white wedding dress.
While my loved ones are celebrating me,
there is a love of my life who is standing next to me.
Shu and I pretended to be a bride and a groom when we were little.
I just remembered that now.
How is it between you and Shuji since then?
Shuji Ichihara,
I am in love with you.
Sorry.
He has been absent from the office, so I haven't seen him.
Is that so?
Yup.
Are you okay, Riko?
I'm still heartbroken, but I conveyed my feelings to him.
So I'm proud of myself.
Shu sees me nothing more than a childhood friend.
So, I can't force him.
- Let's tidy up now. - Yeah, we should.
Right...
Go ahead.
You first.
Go ahead.
Do you want to come over to my place?
I bought the Darjeeling First Flush Tea that you've been wanting to drink.
No. I still have work to do.
I see. Good luck with work.
Thanks.
Well, goodnight.
What kind of congratulatory gift should we get for him?
Meoto Chawan? (T/N: A pair of teacups)
Hmm?
A pair of Japan?
Is that a new athlete who is representing Japan?
- What the heck are you saying? - Am I wrong?
You're wrong. It's not the name of the new soccer coach.
It's not?
I wonder...
We should get him something special.
I suppose.
Something unique.
Yeah, something that nobody thinks of giving as a gift.
- Arata! - What?
I have a great idea!
A wedding party?
Getting married is a special occasion.
So we want to give you a gift that you would remember for the rest of your life.
Well...
To be honest, it was bothering me a bit.
We'd decided not to have a wedding ceremony.
However, I wonder if she was telling me her true thoughts.
- Then... - Thank you. I'll gladly accept the gift.
We'll try our best to prepare a joyful party.
- I look forward to it. - Yes.
- I'm happy for you, Saeki. - I know.
Can we ask Ichihara to take photos at the party?
What?
Actually, my fiancée is a big fan of his photos.
If he could take our wedding photos, it would make her happy.
Is that right?
He may not be able to do it,
since he is really busy.
He may not be available.
But... he may say yes.
Or not.
It won't hurt to ask.
Would you please ask him? It would make her happy.
- Well... - We will ask him.
- Right. Give it a try. - We will persuade him.
I think he would say yes.
- Hey. - Yes?
Do you want me to ask Shuji?
Thanks, Arata.
- Okay. - But I'll ask him.
The wedding party was my idea.
Also, I shouldn't take advantage of your kindness.
Okay.
I'll get going. See ya.
You're wrong.
I'm not a kind person.
I just want to spend time with you, Saeki.
Can you fix her clothes?
Shu.
What is it?
I have a favor to ask you.
We're holding CEO's wedding party in our office.
- Mr. Ninomiya? - Yes.
I'd like you to be the photographer for the party.
I know you're busy. I'm sorry that I asked.
- Sure. - What?
I can adjust my schedule.
Are you sure?
Thank you!
[Mr. and Mrs. Ninomiya's Special Wedding Plan]
Good. All we have left are a wedding dress and a cake.
What should we do?
Should I bake the cake?
What?
Are you sure?
Yes. I want to help you guys, too.
I know a stylist who works at the next office.
Should I ask about the dress?
Arata, nice!
I'll contact him tomorrow.
Thank you, guys. Let's make this party fabulous.
Right.
By the way, who is this?
It's the CEO.
- Does he look like this? - He does.
- No. - Can you see I wrote here CEO?
This looks nothing like him.
[Greenery Cat Inc.]
I heard you agreed to be the photographer for Mr. Ninomiya's wedding party.
I did.
I wish you didn't decide on your own since we don't have a set schedule yet.
Mr. Ninomiya has been good to me.
I know he has, but...
Is it because Riko asked you, isn't it?
Next time, you should discuss with me first.
Understood.
Please excuse me.
[Wedding Party Invitation]
Should I add more radishes?
It feels like something is missing.
Hello.
Are you making invitations for the party?
Yes. But I'm not so creative.
You're right.
I wish I can come up with a better design.
Why don't you use Shuji's photo?
May I?
Of course. Come over to my office later.
I will.
Too bad. I'm on a business trip on this day. I really wanted to attend.
You are?
Mr. Ninomiya has been treating me well.
So, I'm hoping to repay his kindness.
Oh right. Have you decided who will cater the meal for the party?
I haven't decided yet.
I have a good friendship with the president of Ohte Foods.
Ohte Foods? Is that the luxurious chain restaurant?
I bet they will cater a meal for the party.
If I ask him, I'm sure he would give us a friend's discount.
Really?
I'll give him a call.
Thank you so much.
- Good luck. - Yes.
What a nice lady she is.
I can do this.
Hello?
Nice to meet you.
Ms. Fukai told us about the wedding.
This is the list of wedding catering services that our company provides.
Okay.
What type of wedding party are you planning?
Well, there aren't many people.
It's a party with close friends and co-workers.
Then, we suggest a buffet-style party.
You should create a space for the guests to talk freely.
I see.
How do you like this plan?
Since Ms. Fukai introduced you to us,
we can provide the service with 50% off from our regular price.
50%?
Thank you so much.
How about something like this?
Wow, it looks great.
Amazing. It's so cute.
I'm glad.
You've booked a catering company, right?
I have and it's surprisingly cheap.
Ohte Foods is great. And so is Midoriko.
Shuji is the photographer.
I have a feeling it's going to be a great party.
Oops, I have a meeting with Shu.
I have to go. Thanks, Yoshino.
Why didn't you go with her?
But...
Are you concerned about me?
Well...
Listen well. I lost my interest in you, Arata.
Really?
Seriously. Don't flatter yourself.
Sorry.
Rather than having a formal party,
I'd like it to be for everyone can congratulate him on a personal level.
I see.
I'm sorry for not explaining well.
Not at all. I get it.
Also,
this is the schedule for the party.
[Mr. and Mrs. Ninomiya's Party Schedule]
The groom and the bride, right?
- Yes. - No.
You wrote here ”anxiety" and the bride.
Oh my.
There is more. Congratulatory messages?
What?
But you wrote ”cursed messages."
Cursed messages?
My gosh. I'll revise it.
That's funny.
Sorry about that.
I'm relieved.
I thought I couldn't talk to you like this anymore.
Your work seems to be going well.
You're great. Your photos will be filling up the town.
You know?
I'll stop working here soon.
What?
I'm leaving Japan in three months.
What? I don't understand what you're saying.
Where are you going? What are you going to do?
I'm going to training to become an astronaut photographer.
Astro?
I'm going to take photos of the sky from outer space.
Because that's my dream as a photographer.
Besides...
What?
Never mind.
It's nothing.
That's your dream?
It's always been my dream.

He's going away again.
If you don't lift your head up, you can't wish upon a star.
But just for tonight...
♫ Only the appearance changes to an adult ♫
♫ The inside of the costume remains as a child ♫
♫ Too many likes and dislikes and I'm too selfish ♫
♫ But as usual I love you ♫
♫ Hey, hey, I remember ♫
♫ 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 ♫
Hello, I'm Riko.
Hello, I'm Arata.
It's the perfect season for takoyaki.
When is the perfect season for takoyaki?
Now, please watch the preview on the next episode of Hoping to Give You a Big Hug Tonight.
[Preview] Now, the groom and the bride are leaving the party.
You're pretty good at this.
The picture you used was Shuji's unpublished work.
We'll be charged with a large fine.
I'm terribly sorry.
