You're really hopeless.
Are you okay? Don't fall.
I got it!
How is it?
It's really big!
Hey! What are you doing?!
We're in trouble! Hurry!
During that time, I thought I had a lot of courage.
I even took the time to watch the sunset.
But it was my fault
that I'm 26 and still unemployed.
Then the sunset ended without us noticing.
Unfortunately, two years ago, my company completely went to the waterfront.
But in the middle of my company closing and school holidays, there was two weeks.
Where we had courage like an orange that had descended from the heavens.
All of my classmates watched the sunset together.
Of course, at the time, I didn't give my thanks.
But a lot of important things also happened.
Making friends, discussing previous lives, and falling in love.
I probably think about too many things.
For example, job hunting...
A social welfare psychology major?
What do you study?
Yes.
I study at the university about how to help people, even if it's only a little bit.
People who are sick, handicapped, and have emotional problems need care.
However, wouldn't it be better for you to look for work at a hospital or something similar?
We make clocks here.
Why are you interested in working here?
No, I believe social welfare psychologists can work anywhere.
As long as I open myself to others
it doesn't matter where I work.
There is no replacement for caring for each other.
I lied.
A hospital, translation center...
For the time being, anywhere would have been fine.
Anything is fine, I have to take whatever I can get.
That's how nature works.
Yes! Yes! I'm sorry!
I can't apologize enough!
You're at Sasakijo?
I'll be there this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Please accept my regards.
It's been a long time since we went to a mixer.
Seiji?
He's the best.
Yeah.
The best in Japan and the world!
I've heard that a ton of people are going to be there.
Wait a minute...
I'm here in between a student and a committed worker.
Hey!
You surprised me!
Hey.
Coming to school wearing that uniform... they're staring.
I had a bunch of job interviews this afternoon.
You brought it again.
You know, going to college are the good days, the golden days.
I know.
This is pretty sweet, isn't it?
I've heard that before somewhere.
Huh, weren't we going to grab some coffee?
I've got more job hunting to do.
Kai.
Take this, it goes well with your suit.
See ya.
Man, that guy is always so easy going.
That's no good you know.
And then, in my last year as a child, I met her.
Money?
What?
Just a minute.
Sorry, I spent it all on the way home.
Here, take this as payment.
Sorry, sorry for being late.
Do you need something?
No, not particularly.
Well, shall we go then?
So you can take things from class and apply them practically in the real world. I, Ryoho Morita, am here to help you.
You will come to understand these principles.
If you have any questions, concerns,
or special needs, please let me know.
These are the terms and conditions of the class.
I didn't know anything about that!
Um... somewhere in Japan...
Shurababa... shuraba... shurabarabanba.
Oh, saved by the bell.
That's all for today.
But... just a minute ago you didn't say anything about that.
Is that your girlfriend?
Hang in there!
Yeah-Yeah, she's real.
Give your best!
Do you think you mean to me recently?
There are a lot of guys out there.
How about me?
I'm nice and... I'm nice and... I'm really nice.
Give it a rest.
Huh, when's class?
It's already started.
Oh no!
The Teacher's going to be mad I have to go, sorry.
Shohei!
She was here yesterday too, right?
Yeah, she's a stalker isn't she?
She utilizes a perfect 24-hour stalking method.
Okay, then- then...
How about this, 100,000 yen?
Well now, what did I just say?
With my eyes, I fell in love with your figure.
With my ears, I fell in love with your voice.
The same as Shakespeare.
Congratulations.
Okay, now let's all try it.
Today we're doing conversational material.
We're practicing in English, and you can't use Japanese.
If you don't practice it in English, you'll never be able to do it.
So, you're first. Sign what we discussed in sign language.
Yes! Yes! I can do it
Um, beautiful Cherry Blossoms.
To do a cherry blossom,
it's like this.
Open your hand, pat, pat, and extend.
Thus, it makes a cherry blossom.
Excuse me for a minute. Everyone practice together.
Sorry.
Him. Boyfriend. Boyfriend.
Other people's affairs.
Ah, I'm in trouble!
Hey, what are you doing?
Help me.
It's impossible, yeah... impossible.
Kai-kun,
have you decided on a job?
No, not yet.
Maho-san is really direct, huh.
Oh, the interview wasn't today?
He had a interview today and was whining about it.
They called him an idiot.
They didn't!
Oh, it didn't go well...
But you know that was just today, right?
Keep trying with more job interviews.
He's already failed lots of interviews.
Good luck, let's all do our best.
Okay...
Ah sorry, I'm in the middle of my sign language class.
So, I'm going.
She's always so energetic.
The tension is so high.
You two are doing well aren't you?
Of course.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Yes, hello?
Sorry, I'm at my brother's place right now.
So I can't right now...
Meet me in front of the train station tomorrow at seven?
Okay, see ya.
Hey, why are you using the same ring tone as me?
Huh?
What kind of ring tone is yours?
You knew so you used it on purpose, right?
What are you doing?
You're in a bad mood.
It's not my fault you aren't getting any phone calls for job interviews.
You failed again didn't you?
You...
What is it?
You shouldn't just play around all the time.
Are you really going to college?
I'm going.
Are you studying hard?
I am.
How about a boyfriend?
I have lots.
I'm sick of this.
I don't want to talk.
I'm not happy and I don't want to talk anymore.
What?
Money isn't my responsibility.
Mom called and asked how my brother's job hunting was going.
She's so worried she can't sleep properly.
Then I said you've been so laid back lately.
What do you mean laid back!? You shouldn't say that.
You're just putting more pressure on me.
It's Hitsuji.
What?
I took an employment test from them.
Really?
Hello?
This is Jinji from Arufake calling.
Thanks for your time today.
You did well, but there was one thing that bothered us. It's about your looks...
Looks? Did you say my looks?
It would've been better if you had worn glasses.
It's not that you weren't wonderful, and there was that body language...
This sounds strange.
Did we fool you?
We kept trying to call, but there was no answer.
Be serious.
He's mad now.
That's why I said let's stop.
I know but...
Excuse me, I'll have this to drink.
It was the wrong number.
I see.
You'll have some coffee, right?
Yep.
They're persistent.
Hitsuji?
Ah, no.
Who is it?
What happened?
Well...
S-Sorry.
Here.
I forgot to give it to you this afternoon.
A good luck charm?
There's a Temple on my way to the campus so I bought one.
"Shuushoku Jouju."
It means good luck at finding a job.
A proverb?
Thank you.
Is it because of the cell phone?
Huh?
I didn't hand it over to you this afternoon.
Well...
You're too observant.
I wonder.
You're my girlfriend.
Yeah.
Yeah, but...
Yeah, but I don't like it.
Look, you're so cool and good looking.
I don't feel that I'm good enough.
That sounds a little weird.
I'll be going to a small college for three years where there won't be as many students, right?
When I thinking about going far away...
it's a little scary.
What year are you in?
What kind of job do you want?
What the heck?
At least acknowledge that I said something.
Kai!
Kai-kun!
Your friends are looking for you.
They're on their way to the job fair.
I'm going!
Aren't you going to the job fair?
Sorry, are you okay?
What happened, Sae? Are you okay?
Please,
please I'm begging you.
You... how many times have you begged me already?
C'mon, this is the last time.
That cute girl was also at the mixer the other day.
Is she that cute?
Well then everyone it's time to pack up.
Hmm, I'm not sure.
I wonder if they were transfer students,
they all stood out.
There's no way they haven't been noticed yet.
Wow, they're that pretty?
I could ask them out for you if you'd like. As long as I can get you a date, right?
No, that's all right, Kai-kun.
Why?
To have or not to have someone.
To do well or not to do well in a relationship.
Hasn't affected my achievements up until this point in my life.
Help me out here, Shohei-kun.
I'm not going to.
Ah, I'm hungry what should we eat?
No way!
It's true.
Really?
I'm sorry.
Really? Why?
I really don't know the details but...
I wonder really...
A homosexual or gay relationship...
A deep relationship?
Do you mean sexual relationship?
Well yeah, actually this guy never lets me sleep.
I understand, that's enough!
You play boy!
She's not gonna eat?!
Sorry about that, you saved me.
No, um-
Ah, I'm okay, sorry.
I also have a favor to ask.
Was that part of the agreement?
Hey, she was crying.
That's the number one thing that hurts a girls pride.
Finding out that the one she likes was gay.
For some other women it has the opposite effect.
Isn't that the truth?
It's fine.
There aren't any gays around here. Besides, people becoming fathers are okay by me.
You should date women seriously.
What do you mean by that?
Hey, settle down.
Here, do you want to eat one of my cream croquettes?
If you don't go job hunting, what do you plan to do?
You already asked me.
Neck ties don't suit me and,
I don't understand why I have to bow before all those old men.
Are interviews fun?
They're boring.
But I don't want to stay in school forever.
What are you going to do?
You know, I'm sorry but I can't become a salary man.
I would be lucky if I could but...
Holding an umbrella, playing golf, and getting fat?
Sounds boring to me.
You think I'm arrogant.
But the people at the companies say,
"Well, this guy takes his tests well."
"This year he'll continue to work diligently."
Isn't that great?
I understand what you mean.
While I continue taking exams, guards and salary men, will glow.
I think those people carefully decided their careers.
That's the image they give off.
For me, when I graduate,
I can't say where or how I'll end up.
I don't want to turn into that type of person.
Then, what will you do?
Shohei, what kind of person are you?
Is there something special about you?
That's different, leave me alone!
That guy...
He's working part-time as a camera mans assistant.
He is.
By doing that, does he expect to become a camera man?
I don't know.
I wonder how that will turn out, it's a difficult world out there.
That's why we need to look for work.
We can't continue to hanging out all the time.
Excuse me.
I've been taking lots of pictures, but you didn't even notice.
Didn't you hear the sound?
Here.
Hey! Hold on a second!
That was close!
I didn't think you would have that kind of violent personality.
Hey!
What happened?
What are you doing?
Who are you?
Don't do that! Taking pictures without permission...
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Hey if you don't mind, I have some business with her.
Are you serious?!
Yep.
Tomorrow at 7 o'clock in front of the train station.
You set me up again.
It's okay, It's just a date.
Just a date... Oh well, what the hell.
Pick anything you want to eat.
Hey, this is just the school cafeteria.
Kai!
Come sit here.
Let's sit together.
I still haven't received any phone calls.
Oh yeah.
No more prank phone calls please, it's inconvenient.
Okay, sorry.
Ah, I have a date tomorrow with a really pretty girl.
Shohei asked her for me.
Did you get much sleep?
I didn't.
Were you waiting for the phone call?
Sorry about that.
Number 35.
Who has that number?
Yes, that's me.
Sorry for arguing with you yesterday.
No, I'm sorry too.
I gave you that lecture.
It's tough huh?
This meat.
It's just normal meat, nothing special.
You know...
I don't understand.
I'm not talking about the meat.
I know.
I understand that I have to do something, but.
It's somewhat different...
Something within me...
I understand how you feel.
I'm somehow laid back as well.
For the time being, I'm looking for a job.
I'll take any work I can get.
I just think, "If I don't do that, what will happen to me?"
I've been thinking about it since yesterday.
Well, that was the first time someone said that to me.
I've never seriously thought about it before.
I thought you were really rude, though.
Onii-chan, I thought you had work today so I made chicken soup.
Why did you make chicken soup just because I have to work?
I thought we'd eat it today and perhaps you'll come home for lunch tomorrow, I made extra.
I have work tomorrow.
Is that so?
I must have remembered wrong.
That's okay, I'll eat it today.
We use this often don't we?
It's a cupboard so maybe we should change it.
Either way it's the same, our house is small anyway.
Eh... what's this?
Last night, it was mom.
She said, "Let's go get something sweet to eat, like a cake."
It was fun.
Stop that.
What's wrong with that? She's our mom.
She said that she knew a lot of cake shops that I could go to with my boyfriend.
Don't talk about boyfriends!
Don't talk about stuff like that...
Transportation...
I need to find transportation that can take me to the amusement park.
We can do anything, coffee cups, the merry-go-round, anything we want!
When she gets off, I should offer my hand.
She'll say, "Oh, thank you."
And just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed.
It's been a long time, a really long time.
It's been four years at college and finally a girlfriend?
I've saved just at the last moment! She's so cute. Man, I'm so excited.
How long has it been?
It's been three years.
No, four years.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Okay... hello?
It doesn't ring, my phone doesn't ring.
Even though I have a cell phone it doesn't ring.
You want me to leave you alone while you wait for a call from your boyfriend?
I don't care.
A telephone call from somebody named, "I don't care."
Man, I don't have any friends.
That was close!
Hey.
Hey, do you think I should wear my Beams jacket
or my PPFM jacket?
I don't care.
He's asking about what he should wear on his date.
She can't hear?
Yep.
I didn't know about that.
She appears to be deaf.
Because, I only saw her from a distance...
That's why she doesn't talk.
She can't talk?
Well I don't know if she can or can't talk,
but she was using sign language.
They were using sign language at the table.
If that's the case, what am I going to do?
What are you going to do?
How am I supposed to go on a date with her?
You know, when it comes to a man and a woman, you don't need words.
When push comes to shove, just do it!
What are you saying, so early in the morning?
The college kind.
Oh yeah, you're going on a date.
Hey...
Hey, will you go with me?
I'm not going. I'm not going.
If that's the case, what about going in my place?
I have to work.
Will you go?
I'm not going, you're the one who asked her out.
Do it properly.
You're the one that's around those types of people.
I'm no good at dating women.
Remember when I was a freshman and I forgot my language textbook?
Forget about that.
If that's the case, can you speak foreign languages such as French?
Ich Liebe Dich
That's German.
I'm begging you.
Go by yourself.
Well it's nice being invited by a senpai...
Yes, I'm okay.
Yes, I'll go.
You couldn't get in? I see, okay...
Okay, I understand. All right, goodbye.
I'm at a loss.
After I get to Uerafuuzu, I have to go to Oubihomu.
That senpai told me to go over there from here.
From here... what about your date today?
If I can't go, then I wont.
And we can't have her crying, so I'm counting on you.
See you next time. Bye, bye!
Hey! Wait!
I'm asking you to go in his place.
Meet her in front of the entrance at one o'clock.
N-No! I'm not going!
Hey! Wait! I'm seriously not going!
I can't believe this.
I'm Keita Yashima's replacement.
Hold on.
You can read lips?
Oh, I see.
That person, the person that invited you was unable to come.
He had urgent business.
Wait a sec-
Wait a second!
Wait, wait!
Did you prepare that lunch box just for this date?
Can you sign?
A little bit.
Let's eat that.
This is good, it's delicious.
Hey. this took awhile to make right?
You should eat...
An assistant made it?
Really?
What a great assistant.
Of course not.
Oh, your mom made it?
Did the octopus taste okay?
Your time limit for showing appreciation is up.
Eh, you understood that sign just now?
I learned it at the graduate school department of literature.
I majored in social welfare psychology.
Sign language is a required subject.
I see.
I've been to a deaf school as a volunteer.
So you came here as a volunteer?
No!
Everyone?
Yes, everyone.
Everyone tries once,
they try their best.
But, when they come out
and understand that I'm deaf,
they turn me down.
So everyone tries once.
Until...
I understand perfectly.
Hey, I don't think it's your ears' fault that you get turned down.
I don't it's your ears' fault...
I understand perfectly!
It may not be your fault.
Rather than your hearing, it's your attitude that you should do something about, shouldn't you?
Ouch!
That hurt!
Do you usually kick people?
What kind of woman are you?
She had a beautiful face, beautiful fingers,
Mankind's oldest occupation,
beautiful sign language and lots things to talk about.
is prostitution from what I've heard.
The prostitution in Pompei
is of like that in Roman times.
It seems like it became a painting and still remains.
But, however XX and XX
I really can't put it into words.
was done a lot!
but if we were to talk about a continuous broadcast of offensive terms
Isn't that interesting?
on a 24 hour human special, then protests would develop immediately.
And XX liking XXX looked painful.
"What are you saying, idiot?"
I taught her how to say it in the Kansai dialect to express my thanks.
You want to learn it?
The Kansai dialect is it?
On that day I remembered how to sign 'What are you saying, idiot?' with a Kansai accent.
What are you saying-
Wow, check my score!
Throw them over there!
Ouch.
Wanna ride?
C'mon, let's ride it.
We came to an amusement park after all.
Let's ride it.
Hurry up.
Look!
What's wrong?
You've never rode one since you lost your hearing?
It's somehow scary.
Oh, I see.
You're next in line, go ahead.
Ah, excuse me actually we decided not to...
Are you sure?
Are you sure it's okay?
What?
That was so much fun.
Thank you.
I didn't think I'd ever be able to ride one again.
But I was just fine.
It had fun.
I came to like it more and more.
Have you ridden the Fujiyama at the Fujikyuu Highlands,
or the White Canyon at Yomiuri Land before?
Wait, I don't understand.
I don't understand if you go that fast.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here.
If you want, you can get it developed over there.
Ah, is that so?
Yes.
He said that you can get it developed over there.
The person holding number 26.
It seems like it will take a while.
When did you stop being able to hear?
Sorry.
Sorry, forget about it.
Four years.
It's been four years.
But why?
Why do you think that I used to be able to hear?
You said it yourself, back there.
"You've never rode one since you lost your hearing."
Also, the first time we met you were playing a violin, weren't you?
Oh, I see.
When I could hear,
I was a lot better at it.
I thought you were great.
But still, I've only lost my hearing for four years now.
And, I still can't get used to it.
It's like when I see a bird,
it's not me that's strange.
It seems like rather, that it's the bird that's strange.
Why don't you sing?
Where did you put your voice?
But it didn't put it away.
It was me...
Excuse me for a minute.
What's up?
I was wondering how it was going.
What?
You know... with the girl. Don't tell me you didn't go?!
Of course I came. I'm with her right now.
Oh, good.
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Aside from that, did you go talk with the upperclassman?
Uh, yeah.
We are going out for drinks.
I'm waiting outside the place right now.
Oh, I see.
Don't drink too much, you don't sleep well when you do.
See ya.
Sorry, sorry.
What's wrong?
I'm just thinking,
I wonder what a crow's voice sound like.
A crow's voice?
Caw, caw.
Of course.
What do you mean of course?
Oh fireworks, there are fireworks.
6:30 in front of the yellow bus.
Oh, I remembered!
That phone call I just got was from Keita.
Ke-i-ta, the person who asked you out.
He just finished his urgent business.
He was worried and called me.
And said to tell you he's sorry.
Thank you for today.
Today,
for spending time with me.
Thank you very much.
It was my pleasure.
Sorry.
Can I buy you something to drink? Wait here for the number of our picture.
Yes... Hello?
Is this Kai Yuki?
This is Surenaga from the Arufa company.
Yes.
Yes! Eh, seriously?!
I mean, is that true?
No, I thought you had given up on me.
Yes.
Yes, I understand. The last interview was it?
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
I look forward to working with you. Goodbye.
Alright!
You got a phone call?
Really?!
Yay! I'm really happy for you!
Customer 22, the customer with 22.
Hey girl, are you by yourself?
Why are you ignoring me?!
Ah you're cute.
Stop it.
Sorry, he drank some beer and is tipsy.
Jeez, how much longer?
I wonder if it would be bad if I went now.
What would you do if you went?
I would apologize.
Don't worry about it, leave her alone.
I'll apologize at college tomorrow or the day after.
Are you really interested in dating her?
Are you really interested in dating a girl who's deaf?
Well...
That's why it's better not to meet her.
"Sorry for standing you up the other day."
"I'm not interested in dating you, I'm sorry."
It wouldn't be good to say that.
Oh, I see.
I'm hopeless, aren't I?
I feel bad about doing that kind of thing.
Yes!
Sorry, I've got to go.
Shohei!
Bring me an umbrella it's raining.
Ah, yes!
The camera...
The customer with number 33.
She can't hear the announcement...
Welcome!
Thanks for waiting, here you go.
Please give me one as well!
Yes!
Which colour?
Black.
Okay! Black, here's your order.
Yes! Please wait a second.
Excuse me, I want that one!
Okay, a black one then? Thanks for your order!
Here's the order for two umbrellas.
Yes.
Thank you for your business.
Even though I have a cell phone...
Ah no, that wouldn't work she can't hear.
Here's your change.
Ah, sorry.
An announcement for everyone.
The fireworks at 6:30 have been canceled because of the weather conditions.
I repeat...
Fireworks...
The yellow bus!
Mister, the fireworks have been canceled.
Yeah that's okay, but...
They'll just continue to announce it.
Yeah, but she can't hear it.
Ah, Onii-chan if you're back, help me out.
Huh? The fireworks were canceled.
I didn't ask about that, I'm asking for help!
No way! I'm not a laundry man.
What's with that?
Yes!
Oh no! Go answer it!
Eh? Jeez!
Yes!
Good evening.
Yes.
Is your brother home?
This is still wet isn't it?
What are you complaining about?
Hold on a second.
You fold it like this.
Man, you're annoying.
Aren't you going to meet up with her?
She is a pain, that Alisa.
Alisa?
Yeah, her name is Alisa.
I'm not sure how serious I am, because she's an outsider.
No, that's not her name.
It's Alisa, isn't it?
I've seen that person in a magazine. Everyone was looking at it in class.
I'm certain that she's a model named Soyoko Saeki.
Soyoko?
Yeah, she's famous right?
It surprised me to see a celebrity come to our house.
You should've told me sooner.
Onii-chan?
I'm going out for a minute.
Onii-chan?
Sorry, but we are closed.
Sorry.
Are you waiting for someone?
There's no one left.
Shohei-kun?
Perfect timing.
While I was waiting outside, I couldn't help buying some cake.
Go ahead.
Can I ask where have you been?
Didn't I tell you? A Spanish restaurant.
You haven't called for a long time.
I forgot.
Did you forget?
No, but your sister was home.
I already ate while I was waiting.
But... your sister is home, isn't she?
There's a hotel around here.
It's dirty however...
I wonder if it's okay every once in a while,
that kind of thing.
Your pot is boiling.
How is it?
It's different?
Only a little, I can still eat it.
Your recital is tomorrow, right?
You've been in a daze haven't you?
It's still raining, that's no good.
I wonder if any customers will come tomorrow.
Wait, how did you get home?
Taxi.
Oh, what about your bike?
I left it there.
I'll go get it tomorrow.
I see.
What's wrong?
You've been acting strange.
Actually,
I will go out for a little bit.
You were here after all.
The fireworks were canceled.
That kiss after the rain,
is where it all began for us...
I hope it reaches you
Todoite kureru to ii na
届いてくれるといいな
In a place you don't know, I'm playing a tune of my feelings for you.
君の分かんないところで 僕も今奏でてるよ
Kimi no wakannai tokoro de boku mo ima kanadete iru yo
They are like a flower that withered before it could sprout.
育たないで萎れてた新芽みたいな音符を
Soda tanaide shioreteta shinme mitai na omoi wo
Futatsu kasanete narasu hamoni
二つ重ねて鳴らすハーモハーモニー
Put these two notes together and they make a harmony.
I repeat "Thank you" and "I'm sorry" over and over again.
'arigatou' to 'gomen ne' wo kurikaeshite bokura
「ありがとう」と「ごめんね」を繰り返して僕ら
人恋しさを積み木みたいに乗せてゆく
Hitokoishisa wo tsumiki mitai ni nosete yuku
Our longing like building blocks we stack them up.
Wazuka datte akari ga kokoro ni tomoru nara
僅かだって明かりが心に灯るなら
A small faint light burns in our hearts.
大切にしなきゃ と僕らは誓った
Taisetsu ni shinakya to bokura wa chikatta
We should treasure that which we vowed.
Meguriatta subete no mono kara okurareru sain
めぐり逢った すべてのものから送られるサイン
The signs that come from the things we've encountered.
もう 何ひとつ見逃さない
Mou nani hitotsu miotosanai
We wont miss a single one ever again.
そうやって暮らしてゆこう
Sou yatte kurashite yukou
Lets live our lives this way.
そんなことを考えている
Sonna koto wo kangaete iru
That is what I'm thinking.
