<i>Yutaka and I first met Rikako
two years ago.</i>

<i>It was the summer
of our junior year.</i>
9
00:02:41,416 --> 00:02:45,149
<i>Yutaka called me at work.</i>
10
00:02:46,423 --> 00:02:49,519
Hurry up kid!
More dishes! Keep 'em coming!
11
00:02:49,662 --> 00:02:50,890
OK!
12
00:02:51,730 --> 00:02:54,325
Taku, telephone!
13
00:02:54,434 --> 00:02:55,527
Coming.

14
00:02:58,441 --> 00:02:59,271
Hello.
15
00:02:59,375 --> 00:03:01,537
<i>- Taku?
- Hey, Yutaka.</i>
16
00:03:01,912 --> 00:03:05,008
<i>Come to school
as soon as you finish today.</i>
17
00:03:05,117 --> 00:03:08,453
<i>I'll be here waiting for you.</i>
18
00:03:08,656 --> 00:03:09,918
OK.
19
00:03:10,926 --> 00:03:14,921
Sorry, I have to leave
early today.
20
00:03:15,031 --> 00:03:16,556
Now wait a minute!
21
00:03:17,469 --> 00:03:19,233
See you tomorrow!
22
00:03:23,144 --> 00:03:24,943
You can't rely on kids!
23
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:33,653
See you!
24
00:04:09,278 --> 00:04:10,439
Yutaka!
25
00:04:10,647 --> 00:04:12,275
You got here fast.
26
00:04:12,383 --> 00:04:13,941
You told me to!
27
00:04:14,052 --> 00:04:15,042
Take a look.
28

00:04:19,895 --> 00:04:21,863

Who is it? I can't see.
29
00:04:22,331 --> 00:04:25,302
Just transferred to my class.
30
00:04:25,402 --> 00:04:26,802
Her name's Rikako Muto.
31
00:04:26,905 --> 00:04:28,874
- From next semester?
- Yeah.
32
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:32,805
A mid-year transfer?
That's unusual.
33
00:04:32,913 --> 00:04:35,884
She moved here
from Tokyo, that's why.
34
00:04:36,585 --> 00:04:40,044
I just showed her
around the school.
35
00:04:40,157 --> 00:04:43,287
That's right,
you re on the student council.
36
00:04:43,528 --> 00:04:45,690
You really like her, huh?
37
00:04:45,933 --> 00:04:49,927
Anyone would,
she's really good looking.
38
00:04:50,038 --> 00:04:50,903
Really?
39
00:04:54,178 --> 00:04:58,172
I can't tell, and we can't just
walk down and look.
40
00:04:58,518 --> 00:05:01,511
<i>If you want,
we can go down....</i>
41

00:05:01,622 --> 00:05:04,524

<i>... and say we have a question.</i>
42
00:05:04,626 --> 00:05:07,426
Nah, let's not
go that far.
43
00:05:08,132 --> 00:05:11,228
<i>The teachers know
I'm working this summer. ...</i>
44
00:05:11,337 --> 00:05:13,464
<i>... and not taking classes.</i>
45
00:05:14,074 --> 00:05:17,375
Still mad about
the jr. High school trip?
46
00:05:17,646 --> 00:05:21,447
<i>I don't like the way
they just cancelled it...</i>
47
00:05:21,551 --> 00:05:23,714
<i>.... And tried to buy us off
with Hawaii in high school.</i>
48
00:05:23,822 --> 00:05:26,383
Do they think we're stupid?
49
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:31,899
Everyone's excited.
I think it was a good move.
50
00:05:32,635 --> 00:05:37,097
A relaxing trip will help us
cram for college entrance exams.
51
00:05:39,945 --> 00:05:44,475
Hawaii's expensive.
I need to make some money.
52
00:05:45,587 --> 00:05:50,026
Just remember to keep up
with your studies.
53
00:05:50,127 --> 00:05:51,389
Don't fall behind.

54
00:05:51,496 --> 00:05:52,622
<i>Sure. By the way. ...</i>
55
00:05:52,832 --> 00:05:57,133
<i>. ... was there something
you wanted to talk about?</i>
56
00:05:57,205 --> 00:06:00,299
Not really.
I just felt like seeing you.
57
00:06:00,743 --> 00:06:03,304
I'll get my bike.
Wait by the gate.
58
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:13,760
<i>All through jr. High school
and high school...</i>
59
00:06:14,062 --> 00:06:17,693
<i>. ... Yutaka and I
were never in the same class.</i>
60
00:06:18,568 --> 00:06:23,372
<i>Even so, I always felt
he was a close friend.</i>
61
00:06:24,645 --> 00:06:27,547
<i>It all started in our last year
of jr. High school...</i>
62
00:06:27,649 --> 00:06:31,951
<i>.... When the school trip to Kyoto was
suddenly cancelled.</i>
63
00:06:32,055 --> 00:06:36,460
<i>"We regret to announce
that this year's jr. High school trip."</i>
64
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:37,962
<i>"...has been cancelled."</i>
65
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:44,006
<i>"In future, jr. High and high school
trips will be combined."</i>
66
00:06:45,442 --> 00:06:47,240

<i>"Last year, our college

placement results..."</i>
67
00:06:47,344 --> 00:06:50,713
<i>".... were lower than the
prefectural high school."</i>
68
00:06:51,417 --> 00:06:55,412
<i>"Our school's proud traditions
and your obligations to your parents..."</i>
69
00:06:55,523 --> 00:06:57,856
<i>"...make this completely unacceptable."</i>
70
00:06:58,494 --> 00:07:00,464
<i>"To restore our school's honor..."</i>
71
00:07:00,565 --> 00:07:05,197
<i>"...the high school seniors
must redouble their efforts."</i>
72
00:07:05,304 --> 00:07:09,767
<i>"You must set an example
for our jr. High school seniors."</i>
73
00:07:10,912 --> 00:07:14,441
Let's go see Miss Sayama.
Come on, Taku!
74
00:07:17,723 --> 00:07:19,748
<i>The whole thing was so stupid...</i>
75
00:07:19,992 --> 00:07:23,054
<i>.... We decided to complain
to our home room teacher.</i>
76
00:07:30,509 --> 00:07:33,638
We all think this is unfair.
77
00:07:33,981 --> 00:07:38,009
Canceling the trip
won't help our grades.
78
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:42,414
The school owes us
a detailed explanation.
79

00:07:43,094 --> 00:07:46,531

Ask for one
when your grades are better!
80
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:50,696
I'm already a top student!
81
00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:58,271
Don't pressure Miss Sayama
just because she's a woman!
82
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:04,788
<i>We thought that was the end
of the matter.</i>
83
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:08,797
<i>But a week later,
at the morning assembly </i>
84
00:08:14,807 --> 00:08:20,146
Your parents have also approved
the trip cancellation.
85
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:25,814
<i>If you're still not satisfied,
we'll explain the decision.</i>
86
00:08:26,157 --> 00:08:30,323
Raise your hand
if you're still not satisfied.
87
00:08:39,576 --> 00:08:40,977
He's got guts.
88
00:08:42,181 --> 00:08:44,672
<i>It was Yutaka Matsuno.</i>
89
00:08:45,185 --> 00:08:46,516
OK.
90
00:08:46,621 --> 00:08:49,956
We'll explain the decision for students
who raised their hands.
91
00:08:50,058 --> 00:08:53,496
Go to the art room
after classes. Dismissed!

95
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,997
THE TRIP CANCELLATION
MAKES NO SENSE.
96
00:09:43,104 --> 00:09:46,769
IT'S ONLY TO MAKE THE TEACHERS
AND PARENTS FEEL BETTER.
97
00:10:03,066 --> 00:10:06,469
I ran into Yamao
and the others just now.
98
00:10:06,805 --> 00:10:09,331
They're sorry for not coming.
99
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:11,934
Don't hold it against them.
100
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:14,877

YUTAKA MATSUNO
102
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:37,779
I CAN'T AGREE WITH THIS
UNREASONABLE DECISION.
103
00:10:37,885 --> 00:10:40,548
<i>EVEN 20 YEARS AFTER I GRADUATE...</i>
104
00:10:40,655 --> 00:10:44,855
...I'LL STILL THINK
THE SCHOOL WAS WRONG.

105
00:10:46,297 --> 00:10:47,924
Wow!
106
00:10:49,903 --> 00:10:53,863
You're already thinking
20 years into the future.
107
00:11:02,153 --> 00:11:07,059
<i>After that, I always thought
of Yutaka...</i>
108
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:10,954
<i>... a bit differently
from my other friends.</i>
109
00:11:34,969 --> 00:11:37,837
This is my friend Taku Morisaki.
110
00:11:38,774 --> 00:11:42,836
This is Rikako Muto.
She's transferring to my class.
111
00:11:43,848 --> 00:11:45,510
See you, then!
112
00:11:46,118 --> 00:11:47,848
See you next semester.
113
00:11:57,101 --> 00:12:00,436
What, you made your move already?!
114
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:04,542
Huh? No, she asked me
where the bookstore was.
115
00:12:04,646 --> 00:12:07,640
She needs to buy her textbooks.
116
00:12:09,753 --> 00:12:13,247
OBIYAMACHI MALL
117
00:12:17,431 --> 00:12:22,769
The cook where I work is
this former gang member.
118
00:12:22,906 --> 00:12:25,136

<i>Sometimes his old habits come out...</i>

119
00:12:25,242 --> 00:12:28,510
<i>... like, the way he smokes.</i>
120
00:12:36,192 --> 00:12:37,558
What?
121
00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:41,929
Do you think there's something
behind her transfer?
122
00:12:45,238 --> 00:12:48,037
<i>Ah, so that's it!</i>
123
00:12:48,410 --> 00:12:51,939
<i>That's the real reason
Yutaka wanted to see me.</i>
124
00:12:53,751 --> 00:12:57,883
Maybe her dad got transferred
or something like that.
125
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:03,024
See you!
126
00:13:05,902 --> 00:13:08,463
<i>It really irritated me
when I realized...</i>
127
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,041
<i>... that Yutaka was
interested in Rikako.</i>
128
00:13:12,011 --> 00:13:16,212
<i>Better forget it!
Girls only care about looks.</i>
129
00:13:16,551 --> 00:13:19,716
<i>I never thought
she'd see his real value.</i>
130
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,495
<i>When the new term started....</i>
131
00:13:29,604 --> 00:13:34,634
<i>.... Rikako was a bit of a sensation

with us simple country boys.</i>

132
00:13:35,312 --> 00:13:38,772
Hey Taku,
get a look at the girls!
133
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:41,086
Ariga, right?
134
00:13:45,828 --> 00:13:47,956
I know, they re big.
135
00:13:48,065 --> 00:13:50,500
No! The other court!
136
00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:19,842
She's really cool.
137
00:14:19,945 --> 00:14:22,073
She didn't even break a sweat.
138
00:14:23,016 --> 00:14:24,779
She's really something!
139
00:14:24,886 --> 00:14:28,254
She plays like a pro!
140
00:14:28,357 --> 00:14:30,986
Tokyo kids can really hit the ball!
141
00:14:31,128 --> 00:14:33,792
- She stands out.
- Nice legs too!
142
00:14:33,899 --> 00:14:36,494
Bet that type's hard to handle.
143
00:14:38,806 --> 00:14:41,971
Rikako really stands out, huh?
144
00:14:43,045 --> 00:14:45,276
I don't know why
you'd say that.
145
00:14:47,152 --> 00:14:48,119
Hey, Yutaka!

146
00:14:58,701 --> 00:14:59,760
Sorry.
147
00:15:00,838 --> 00:15:03,570
Rikako's out of place in class.
148
00:15:04,076 --> 00:15:07,514
I think it's because
she stands out too much.
149
00:15:07,614 --> 00:15:09,640
Out of place, huh?
150
00:15:09,752 --> 00:15:11,687
<i>Yeah... in lots of ways.</i>
151
00:15:19,332 --> 00:15:24,295
RIKAKO MUTO
152
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:26,866
She really stands out, huh?
153
00:15:28,345 --> 00:15:31,009
She's already 12th in the school!
154
00:15:31,115 --> 00:15:34,576
Sports and study
she's a super woman!
155
00:15:35,122 --> 00:15:38,115
- Let's see Taku, you're...
- Number 92!
156
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:41,756
You were a better student
in jr. High.
157
00:15:47,007 --> 00:15:48,702
What an attitude!
158
00:15:48,809 --> 00:15:49,970
She's so stuck up!
159
00:15:50,077 --> 00:15:52,946
That's enough!

Stop gossiping.
160
00:15:53,682 --> 00:15:55,242
Time for class!
161
00:16:06,836 --> 00:16:09,670
What s wrong?
Got a crush on Rikako?
162
00:16:09,774 --> 00:16:14,439
No, but she doesn't seem
very happy.
163
00:16:14,546 --> 00:16:18,917
Oh, come off it.
She's 12th in the school.
164
00:16:41,086 --> 00:16:44,454
I hear you have a new student?
165
00:16:45,025 --> 00:16:46,959
Yeah. Why?
166
00:16:47,763 --> 00:16:50,197
I hear her grades are excellent.
167
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,961
Tokyo students really are top notch.
168
00:16:53,337 --> 00:16:55,569
How did you hear?
169
00:16:55,674 --> 00:16:57,733
They were talking about it in town.
170
00:16:57,844 --> 00:17:02,146
<i>Rikako's family
is related to the Mutos....</i>
171
00:17:02,250 --> 00:17:04,719
<i>... of Muto Fruit Packing.</i>
172
00:17:06,023 --> 00:17:08,686
Her mother moved back
for family reasons.
173

00:17:08,793 --> 00:17:10,989

She brought
the two children with her.
174
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:16,967
Maybe her parents got divorced.
175
00:17:17,072 --> 00:17:20,043
Is her father still in Tokyo?
176
00:17:20,144 --> 00:17:21,840
I wonder.
177
00:17:21,947 --> 00:17:22,879
I'm full.
178
00:17:22,981 --> 00:17:25,645
Atsushi, mind your manners!
179
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,318
<i>Poor Rikako.
With her grades...</i>
180
00:17:29,424 --> 00:17:31,655
...she'll just go back
to Tokyo for college.
181
00:17:32,629 --> 00:17:35,531
Kids sure get jerked around.
182
00:17:35,967 --> 00:17:37,559
Now don't talk like that!
183
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:40,662
A mother needs
her children with her!
184
00:17:41,509 --> 00:17:44,775
You don't need
to get upset about it.
185
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,079
Relocating is a tough decision!
186
00:17:48,185 --> 00:17:51,679
She can't leave them
behind just for school!

187
00:17:52,090 --> 00:17:55,926
It's natural for her
to want them with her!
188
00:17:57,266 --> 00:18:00,292
Speaking from experience, huh?
189
00:18:01,871 --> 00:18:05,900
Now you be nice to Rikako!
190
00:18:06,011 --> 00:18:09,106
She must be having
a hard time adjusting.
191
00:18:09,215 --> 00:18:10,911
Sure, sure.
192
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:44,991
Taku!
193
00:18:47,071 --> 00:18:49,132
Taku! Telephone!
194
00:18:49,509 --> 00:18:50,977
OK!
195
00:18:54,349 --> 00:18:58,947
Hello? Hey, Yutaka.
What's going on?
196
00:18:59,457 --> 00:19:00,447
<i>Well...</i>
197
00:19:00,958 --> 00:19:02,324
What?
198
00:19:02,961 --> 00:19:06,056
<i>It's not really that important.</i>
199
00:19:07,435 --> 00:19:09,301
<i>I visited Rikako today!</i>
200
00:19:09,438 --> 00:19:11,702
Where? At her house?

201
00:19:11,842 --> 00:19:15,780
<i>She was out sick.
I heard she lives alone.</i>
202
00:19:15,881 --> 00:19:17,645
<i>I was worried.</i>
203
00:19:17,850 --> 00:19:22,916
She lives alone? Her mother's
house isn't that far from school.
204
00:19:24,226 --> 00:19:26,957
And you went
to see her? Alone?
205
00:19:27,665 --> 00:19:31,569
<i>Yeah. And... she was
alone in bed!</i>
206
00:19:31,904 --> 00:19:34,373
She was in bed. So?
207
00:19:35,343 --> 00:19:36,970
<i>Nothing. That's it.</i>
208
00:19:39,182 --> 00:19:40,410
<i>That's all.</i>
209
00:19:52,167 --> 00:19:56,368
<i>So you like that kind of girl,
do you Yutaka?</i>
210
00:20:04,719 --> 00:20:08,452
<i>The year ended,
and March came....</i>
211
00:20:08,558 --> 00:20:11,358
<i>... and with it,
the long-awaited school trip.</i>
212
00:20:11,730 --> 00:20:12,720
Taku!
213
00:20:12,831 --> 00:20:13,821
HAWAll
214

00:20:15,302 --> 00:20:17,497

You're not going swimming?
215
00:20:17,605 --> 00:20:19,300
Today's our last day!
216
00:20:19,407 --> 00:20:22,435
I've had an upset stomach
all morning.
217
00:20:22,545 --> 00:20:24,878
Too bad! See you, then!
218
00:20:25,082 --> 00:20:26,209
So long.
219
00:20:28,421 --> 00:20:33,555
<i>And that's when
all the trouble started.</i>
220
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:42,106
Taku!
221
00:20:44,779 --> 00:20:46,839
Could you lend me some money?
222
00:20:53,792 --> 00:20:55,124
Money?
223
00:20:55,861 --> 00:20:58,696
What happened?
Did you run out?
224
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,495
<i>Well... not exactly.</i>
225
00:21:01,370 --> 00:21:05,273
I lost all the money
I had with me!
226
00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:06,969
That's awful!
227
00:21:07,746 --> 00:21:09,442
Did you tell the teacher?
228

00:21:09,549 --> 00:21:13,384

With traveler's checks,
you can get your money back.
229
00:21:14,723 --> 00:21:16,783
I'll get in trouble.
230
00:21:16,892 --> 00:21:21,558
Don't be silly!
You've got to report it!
231
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:29,271
I'm sorry. Your Kochi dialect
reminds me of samurai movies.
232
00:21:30,245 --> 00:21:31,611
Want to sit down?
233
00:21:32,415 --> 00:21:35,784
Let me tell you what happened.
234
00:21:36,655 --> 00:21:41,754
<i>I mostly brought cash. Travelers
checks are a pain, right? So. ...</i>
235
00:21:41,863 --> 00:21:43,661
Cash? You mean dollars?
236
00:21:43,766 --> 00:21:46,327
Right, about $400 in cash.
237
00:21:46,436 --> 00:21:49,167
I must have left it somewhere.
238
00:21:49,274 --> 00:21:54,042
We were supposed to bring
less than 20, 000 in cash!
239
00:21:54,681 --> 00:21:58,175
The rest was supposed
to be traveler's checks.
240
00:21:58,287 --> 00:22:00,448
Nobody really does that!
241
00:22:00,624 --> 00:22:03,526
You sound like

one of the teachers!

242
00:22:03,628 --> 00:22:05,927
Are you a goody-goody?
243
00:22:06,031 --> 00:22:08,694
Too bad.
I heard you were different.
244
00:22:14,578 --> 00:22:17,377
Your Tokyo dialect
sounds so harsh!
245
00:22:17,481 --> 00:22:21,385
Why? I'm not angry!
246
00:22:21,488 --> 00:22:23,719
And I'm not a samurai!
247
00:22:26,962 --> 00:22:29,899
You're mean, Taku.
248
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,492
Nobody ever called me harsh.
249
00:22:32,604 --> 00:22:34,731
Is that how I sound?
250
00:22:35,007 --> 00:22:37,841
Yeah. Everyone thinks so.
251
00:22:37,979 --> 00:22:42,418
But they re a fraid you'll say
they sound like samurai.
252
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:44,009
OK, I'm sorry.
253
00:22:44,521 --> 00:22:48,584
I didn't mean
to make fun of you.
254
00:22:50,631 --> 00:22:54,033
You hear dialects in dramas, right?
255
00:22:55,204 --> 00:22:57,730

I thought dialects were all gone.

256
00:23:00,845 --> 00:23:04,977
But Kochi people really talk that way.
I was shocked.
257
00:23:05,887 --> 00:23:10,849
Still, I never told anyone
I felt that way, till today.
258
00:23:11,327 --> 00:23:12,693
You'd better not!
259
00:23:12,796 --> 00:23:15,527
At first I couldn't
understand a word.
260
00:23:15,868 --> 00:23:18,997
I kept asking people
to say things twice.
261
00:23:19,573 --> 00:23:23,136
Maybe that's why nobody likes me.
262
00:23:23,245 --> 00:23:25,236
Who doesn't like you?
263
00:23:25,348 --> 00:23:29,184
Everybody, boys especially.
Nobody talks to me.
264
00:23:29,687 --> 00:23:33,126
Well, except Yutaka, the class
representative. He's nice.
265
00:23:33,227 --> 00:23:35,320
Yeah, Yutaka's a good guy.
266
00:23:35,429 --> 00:23:37,490
Did he tell you about me?
267
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,934
<i>Yes. I saw you working
at the restaurant...</i>
268
00:23:41,038 --> 00:23:43,031
<i>... during the winter vacation.</i>

269
00:23:43,608 --> 00:23:47,410
Yutaka was with me.
He said you work really hard.
270
00:23:47,948 --> 00:23:49,678
Then he told me
a lot about you.
271
00:23:49,784 --> 00:23:53,985
Like your protest
over the cancelled school trip.
272
00:23:54,458 --> 00:23:56,927
He told you about that?
273
00:23:57,028 --> 00:24:01,592
You must have a lot of
money from your job, right?
274
00:24:05,407 --> 00:24:06,806
OK, how much?
275
00:24:08,144 --> 00:24:09,305
What can you spare?
276
00:24:09,412 --> 00:24:13,350
I brought about 60, 000 and $400.
277
00:24:13,653 --> 00:24:17,318
I haven't spent much.
How about $300?
278
00:24:17,425 --> 00:24:20,418
Really? Then could you
lend me the 60, 000?
279
00:24:29,709 --> 00:24:31,177
Wait here.
280
00:24:45,666 --> 00:24:47,567
Sixty thousand yen!
281
00:24:59,253 --> 00:25:01,621
Much obliged, Mr Morisaki!
282

00:25:01,724 --> 00:25:04,853

Should I give it
to you right here?
283
00:25:04,961 --> 00:25:09,127
You're pretty cautious.
OK, sit down right there.
284
00:25:11,171 --> 00:25:14,939
Put it in this handkerchief
and hand it to me.
285
00:25:17,246 --> 00:25:20,239
Feels like we're doing
something illegal!
286
00:25:26,761 --> 00:25:30,631
I probably can't pay
you back right away.
287
00:25:30,732 --> 00:25:33,225
I'm expecting some money, though.
288
00:25:33,370 --> 00:25:35,270
Pay me back anytime.
289
00:25:35,774 --> 00:25:38,209
Please don't tell anyone about this.
290
00:25:38,311 --> 00:25:39,540
Sure, but why?
291
00:25:39,779 --> 00:25:41,510
Mama would yell at me.
292
00:25:42,117 --> 00:25:43,550
<i>''Mama... ."</i>
293
00:25:47,124 --> 00:25:50,118
What's her story?
294
00:25:55,069 --> 00:25:56,161
Hey!
295
00:25:59,775 --> 00:26:03,770
I'm surprised she knew
so much about me!

296
00:26:04,382 --> 00:26:07,547
So you guys are friends.
Dating, huh?
297
00:26:07,654 --> 00:26:08,882
That wasn't a date.
298
00:26:09,824 --> 00:26:12,191
I ran into her over vacation.
299
00:26:12,294 --> 00:26:16,528
I asked her to a movie
and she said yes!
300
00:26:16,668 --> 00:26:18,898
I couldn't think
of a thing to say.
301
00:26:19,504 --> 00:26:24,501
We passed your restaurant,
so I started talking about you.
302
00:26:24,612 --> 00:26:25,580
It really helped.
303
00:26:25,681 --> 00:26:29,380
Maybe, but I just got hit
for a loan.
304
00:26:29,486 --> 00:26:31,421
Rikako asked you for a loan?
305
00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:36,321
Yeah. I walked by,
and she said she lost her money.
306
00:26:36,430 --> 00:26:39,457
Maybe she remembered
I made money over the break.
307
00:26:39,568 --> 00:26:43,973
So she lost all her money?
Poor thing!
308
00:26:47,046 --> 00:26:49,880
- Want to walk around town?

- Sure.
309
00:26:49,983 --> 00:26:53,215
Wait a sec,
I'll drop my stuff.
310
00:27:15,587 --> 00:27:19,080
I said not to tell!
You already told Yutaka!
311
00:27:19,326 --> 00:27:21,454
Huh? What did he say?
312
00:27:21,730 --> 00:27:24,598
He offered to lend me money!
313
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,728
See?
Isn't he a good guy?
314
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:33,178
<i>I borrowed 20, 000. ...
but please keep this a secret!!</i>
315
00:27:33,281 --> 00:27:36,217
I hope you can remember this time!
316
00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:42,351
How did her parents raise her?!
317
00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:47,058
<i>The next day we returned to Kochi...</i>
318
00:27:47,401 --> 00:27:51,396
<i>. ... and I bought some candid shots
of Rikako from a friend.</i>
319
00:27:51,508 --> 00:27:53,840
<i>I felt like getting even.</i>
320
00:27:54,145 --> 00:27:57,479
<i>And I thought that was it
for my bad feelings.</i>
321
00:27:57,784 --> 00:28:02,051
<i>But next term,
we ended up in the same class.</i>

322
00:28:10,268 --> 00:28:11,462
Yumi, lunch!
323
00:28:15,308 --> 00:28:17,642
<i>Rikako finally made a friend </i>
324
00:28:19,515 --> 00:28:24,352
<i> a quiet girl in the same class.
Her name was Yumi Kohama.</i>
325
00:28:24,522 --> 00:28:26,457
<i>That was nice for her...</i>
326
00:28:26,525 --> 00:28:30,759
<i>... but spring break came, and
I still didn't have my money.</i>
327
00:28:31,733 --> 00:28:33,999
<i>I thought she'd forgotten it.</i>
328
00:28:36,607 --> 00:28:40,738
Taku, telephone!
Lt's Yumi Kohama!
329
00:28:43,817 --> 00:28:45,547
Is that you Yumi?
330
00:28:46,821 --> 00:28:48,949
Where are you calling from?
331
00:28:49,059 --> 00:28:52,929
<i>You're the only person
I could think of to call!</i>
332
00:28:53,030 --> 00:28:53,827
What s wrong?
333
00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:57,467
<i>We were going to Osaka
for two nights. ...</i>
334
00:28:57,570 --> 00:28:59,836
<i>... for a concert.</i>
335
00:29:00,207 --> 00:29:05,079

Now we're at the airport,

and Rikako says she's going to Tokyo!
336
00:29:05,182 --> 00:29:07,651
That was her plan all along!
337
00:29:07,752 --> 00:29:10,621
She doesn't know I'm calling you.
338
00:29:10,724 --> 00:29:11,588
<i>Unbelievable!</i>
339
00:29:11,691 --> 00:29:15,857
She says there's no difference
where we go.
340
00:29:16,266 --> 00:29:19,703
<i>Rikako even bought
two tickets to Tokyo.</i>
341
00:29:19,804 --> 00:29:22,933
<i>I don't want to lie
to my mother!</i>
342
00:29:23,108 --> 00:29:26,671
<i>Look, calm down!
You don't have to go!</i>
343
00:29:26,780 --> 00:29:30,183
Just leave and let Rikako
go by herself.
344
00:29:30,286 --> 00:29:34,657
<i>I can't! Her mother let her go
because I'm with her!</i>
345
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,697
<i>She really wants me to go.
What should I do?</i>
346
00:29:38,798 --> 00:29:40,596
<i>What should you do. ...?</i>
347
00:29:41,435 --> 00:29:44,668
Wait a minute!
Why are you asking ME?
348

00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:49,840

She told me you lent her
the money for the tickets.
349
00:29:49,948 --> 00:29:53,613
You're her friend.
Can't you convince her?
350
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,683
Please come to the airport.
Our flight is at 11:30.
351
00:29:58,795 --> 00:30:00,194
We've got 90 minutes.
352
00:30:00,730 --> 00:30:03,098
<i>I really need you to come!</i>
353
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:06,838
That money again!
354
00:30:30,875 --> 00:30:35,007
<i>So she didn't really
lose her money. It was a lie!</i>
355
00:30:35,114 --> 00:30:38,609
<i>It was just part of her plan
for this trip!</i>
356
00:30:38,719 --> 00:30:40,119
<i>What a jerk!</i>
357
00:30:44,896 --> 00:30:48,389
KOCHI AIR TERMINAL
358
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:00,815
You came!
359
00:31:00,919 --> 00:31:02,114
Where is she?
360
00:31:02,922 --> 00:31:04,150
In the rest room.
361
00:31:05,125 --> 00:31:07,560
Says she's not feeling well.

362
00:31:07,662 --> 00:31:12,067
I wish she'd get worse.
Then we wouldn't have to go!
363
00:31:12,169 --> 00:31:14,662
Anyway, she's way out of line!
364
00:31:15,107 --> 00:31:19,068
You're her friend.
You should tell her off!
365
00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:24,519
She really wants to see her father.
I feel sorry for her.
366
00:31:24,622 --> 00:31:26,681
What about her father?
367
00:31:33,066 --> 00:31:36,834
What are you doing here?
Did Yumi call you?
368
00:31:37,072 --> 00:31:40,635
Rikako, let's not lie
about this trip!
369
00:31:40,745 --> 00:31:42,441
Let's tell your mother.
370
00:31:42,547 --> 00:31:44,846
She'd never let me go!
371
00:31:45,284 --> 00:31:48,254
I've been planning
this for so long.
372
00:31:52,228 --> 00:31:55,996
Wait a minute.
OK, how about this.
373
00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:00,004
Yumi, call home.
Say you feel sick and can't go.
374
00:32:00,106 --> 00:32:00,970
<i>But....</i>

375
00:32:01,509 --> 00:32:04,138
<i>And Rikako's going by herself...</i>
376
00:32:04,246 --> 00:32:08,742
...because it would be a shame
to waste both tickets.
377
00:32:08,853 --> 00:32:12,381
Your parents
will only worry about you.
378
00:32:12,491 --> 00:32:14,391
They won't think about Rikako.
379
00:32:14,494 --> 00:32:18,933
You're right!
My mom doesn't know Rikako s mom.
380
00:32:19,034 --> 00:32:21,128
She won't say anything.
381
00:32:21,237 --> 00:32:22,933
OK, fine.
382
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,599
I'll call her!
383
00:32:28,014 --> 00:32:31,782
Yumi's from a strict family.
384
00:32:31,886 --> 00:32:35,688
She's not going to run
off to Tokyo just like that.
385
00:32:42,569 --> 00:32:45,403
So, you're not feeling well?
386
00:32:45,507 --> 00:32:50,071
My period just started.
Sometimes it's really bad.
387
00:32:50,180 --> 00:32:51,307
It must be tough.
388
00:32:51,648 --> 00:32:54,551
Boys don't know what it's like.

389
00:32:56,055 --> 00:32:58,355
Do you really have to go?
390
00:32:58,459 --> 00:33:02,830
I'll get your money from Papa.
Don't worry, I'll pay you.
391
00:33:08,106 --> 00:33:13,445
If you're worried about going alone,
shall I go with you?
392
00:33:13,548 --> 00:33:16,211
Really?
Would you really do that?
393
00:33:33,043 --> 00:33:34,568
Hey, listen.
394
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:39,148
Your father knows
you're coming, right?
395
00:33:39,253 --> 00:33:41,118
Is he meeting you?
396
00:33:41,589 --> 00:33:43,558
No, I doubt it.
397
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:47,563
Could he find a place
for me to stay?
398
00:33:48,465 --> 00:33:51,060
Sure. I'll ask him.
399
00:33:52,305 --> 00:33:56,038
When I see Papa,
I'm going to tell him.
400
00:33:56,845 --> 00:34:01,011
I want to move back to Tokyo
and live with him.
401
00:34:01,686 --> 00:34:06,091
<i>"We are now in our final approach
to Haneda Airport."</i>

402
00:34:07,094 --> 00:34:11,156
<i>As I followed Rikako
around Tokyo, I thought </i>
403
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:13,735
<i>"she's done it to me again."</i>
404
00:34:14,438 --> 00:34:18,604
<i>But I couldn't just let her go
to Tokyo by herself.</i>
405
00:34:20,313 --> 00:34:23,943
The cherry trees around here
are really nice.
406
00:34:24,052 --> 00:34:26,384
My house is this way.
407
00:34:27,557 --> 00:34:32,587
My grandparents used to live here.
This was all farm land.
408
00:34:33,566 --> 00:34:38,198
They built apartments,
and we got the nicest one.
409
00:34:38,807 --> 00:34:42,904
It was big, even for four of us.
I bet Papa's Ionely.
410
00:34:43,014 --> 00:34:45,779
He'll be glad to see you.
411
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,788
it's good to be back.
412
00:35:01,341 --> 00:35:02,774
Who is it?
413
00:35:05,046 --> 00:35:06,674
<i>Isn't this the Mutos?</i>
414
00:35:07,115 --> 00:35:08,640
<i>Yes, that's right.</i>
415

00:35:08,952 --> 00:35:11,080

<i>Umm... is Papa home?</i>
416
00:35:11,288 --> 00:35:15,351
<i>Is that Rikako? I'll come down,
wait in the lobby!</i>
417
00:35:31,151 --> 00:35:34,713
What a surprise!
I didn't know you were coming.
418
00:35:34,823 --> 00:35:36,121
Are you alone?
419
00:35:36,225 --> 00:35:37,715
My boyfriend, from Kochi.
420
00:35:37,994 --> 00:35:40,658
It's spring break.
We came to visit.
421
00:35:40,765 --> 00:35:44,031
Oh really?
Thanks for looking a fter Rikako.
422
00:35:44,236 --> 00:35:45,727
Shall we go for coffee?
423
00:35:46,106 --> 00:35:49,271
I want to see my old room!
How's it look?
424
00:35:50,179 --> 00:35:51,737
OK, let's go up.
425
00:35:53,116 --> 00:35:57,283
I'm sorry... could you wait
here for a little while?
426
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:58,516
Sure.
427
00:36:32,408 --> 00:36:37,006
Morisaki, thanks
for putting up with Rikako.
428
00:36:37,115 --> 00:36:41,520

I hear you don't have a place to stay?

I made a reservation.
429
00:36:42,189 --> 00:36:46,685
And Rikako owes you money.
Thank you very much.
430
00:36:54,273 --> 00:36:58,473
<i>I really felt sorry for her
from the bottom of my heart.</i>
431
00:37:00,583 --> 00:37:04,646
GUIDE TO WEST SHINJUKU
432
00:37:11,465 --> 00:37:13,161
Hi, Mom?
433
00:37:13,702 --> 00:37:17,002
<i>Taku? It's almost dinner time.
Come home.</i>
434
00:37:17,106 --> 00:37:19,941
Look, I can't make it tonight.
435
00:37:20,044 --> 00:37:23,276
<i>OK, we'll go ahead.
Don't be too late.</i>
436
00:37:23,382 --> 00:37:25,044
I m in Tokyo.
437
00:37:25,152 --> 00:37:27,849
<i>Tokyo?! How did you get there?</i>
438
00:37:27,955 --> 00:37:30,653
I took a plane
straight to Tokyo.
439
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,692
<i>What?!</i>
440
00:37:32,663 --> 00:37:34,153
I'm escorting someone.
441
00:37:34,265 --> 00:37:35,632
<i>Escorting?! Who?</i>

442
00:37:35,735 --> 00:37:37,896
I'll be home in two days.
443
00:37:38,004 --> 00:37:39,563
<i>What's going on?!</i>
444
00:37:39,907 --> 00:37:41,068
<i>Hello? Hello?</i>
445
00:37:41,176 --> 00:37:43,611
I'll explain later! Goodbye!
446
00:37:43,712 --> 00:37:44,974
<i>Taku! Wait!</i>
447
00:37:49,855 --> 00:37:51,254
Rikako!
448
00:37:54,929 --> 00:37:56,363
What happened?
449
00:37:57,099 --> 00:38:02,128
I'm staying here tonight.
Papa's paying, so I can if I want.
450
00:38:04,376 --> 00:38:05,172
Hey...
451
00:38:20,466 --> 00:38:25,702
<i>The whole thing was starting
to feel like a bad soap opera.</i>
452
00:38:35,789 --> 00:38:37,951
Want some beer, Rikako?
453
00:38:39,462 --> 00:38:43,366
No? We drink it sometimes
when no one's around.
454
00:38:43,834 --> 00:38:45,666
Make me a rum and coke.
455
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:53,878
I tried them at a friend's house.
456

00:39:02,863 --> 00:39:06,631

Papa's going on a trip with his
lady friend for the holidays.
457
00:39:06,735 --> 00:39:09,864
Well, it IS spring vacation.
458
00:39:10,508 --> 00:39:13,637
My room was completely changed!
459
00:39:13,745 --> 00:39:15,976
The wallpaper's dark green!
460
00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:18,440
I hate green!
461
00:39:18,552 --> 00:39:21,647
You're right.
Green's no good!
462
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:29,197
All the pots are fancy enamelware.
It's so stupid.
463
00:39:29,436 --> 00:39:31,768
Nobody uses enamelware anymore!
464
00:39:33,541 --> 00:39:35,203
Listen. Taku.
465
00:39:35,444 --> 00:39:39,007
When my parents were fighting,
I thought Mama was wrong.
466
00:39:39,116 --> 00:39:43,213
She wouldn't give in,
so Papa didn't either.
467
00:39:43,322 --> 00:39:46,292
It ended in a bad divorce.
468
00:39:46,794 --> 00:39:50,892
My brother and I had to move
and leave all our friends.
469
00:39:52,136 --> 00:39:54,297
I was on Papa's side.

470
00:39:54,873 --> 00:39:57,740
But he wasn't on my side.
471
00:39:58,010 --> 00:40:00,741
<i>On your side? Wait...</i>
472
00:40:00,914 --> 00:40:02,780
My life is so sad.
473
00:40:06,223 --> 00:40:10,559
Things must be tough,
but you should help your mother.
474
00:40:10,829 --> 00:40:14,323
You shouldn't be living by yourself.
475
00:40:14,602 --> 00:40:18,938
I didn't want to impose
on Mama's family.
476
00:40:19,609 --> 00:40:21,601
I wasn't mad at her.
477
00:40:21,712 --> 00:40:23,077
Well, that's different.
478
00:40:23,181 --> 00:40:24,944
It's none of your business.
479
00:40:36,734 --> 00:40:38,168
<i>"Good evening."</i>
480
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:42,133
<i>"How are you spending
the spring holidays?"</i>
481
00:41:01,772 --> 00:41:02,703
Ouch!
482
00:41:16,693 --> 00:41:20,028
<i>She's having a tough time?
What about me?</i>
483
00:41:25,539 --> 00:41:26,939
Taku!

484
00:41:27,877 --> 00:41:29,401
Get up!
485
00:41:30,614 --> 00:41:35,451
Lt's about time.
I was waiting to use the bathroom.
486
00:41:36,055 --> 00:41:37,853
I had to go downstairs!
487
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:40,183
<i>Sorry. ...</i>
488
00:41:40,295 --> 00:41:42,856
Could you leave for a while?
489
00:41:42,965 --> 00:41:45,400
I'm meeting someone.
I need to dress.
490
00:41:45,502 --> 00:41:46,595
Your father?
491
00:41:46,704 --> 00:41:50,141
A high school friend.
I called this morning.
492
00:41:50,242 --> 00:41:52,074
We re meeting downstairs.
493
00:41:52,178 --> 00:41:53,646
That s great.
494
00:41:53,915 --> 00:41:57,818
I need to shower and change.
Hurry up and leave.
495
00:42:03,395 --> 00:42:07,766
<i>I think this was when I decided
to attend college in Tokyo.</i>
496
00:42:12,108 --> 00:42:17,606
<i>Seeing Rikako bounce back somehow
made me feel at ease here.</i>
497

00:42:22,691 --> 00:42:27,221

Good timing. My friend just called,
we're meeting in the lobby.
498
00:42:27,364 --> 00:42:29,856
- Oh, really?
- See you, then!
499
00:42:31,637 --> 00:42:35,130
What about the key?
Are you going out?
500
00:42:35,242 --> 00:42:37,268
No, I'll take a nap.
501
00:42:37,379 --> 00:42:39,041
Really? Sorry!
502
00:42:39,148 --> 00:42:40,980
Don't worry.
Enjoy yourself.
503
00:43:00,847 --> 00:43:01,837
Hello?
504
00:43:02,048 --> 00:43:05,417
<i>Taku, could you come
down to the coffee shop?</i>
505
00:43:05,954 --> 00:43:08,151
What happened?
Forget your wallet?
506
00:43:08,257 --> 00:43:11,022
<i>Just come down!
You're rescuing me.</i>
507
00:43:13,698 --> 00:43:16,430
So, what is it this time?
508
00:43:19,541 --> 00:43:21,008
Taku, over here!
509
00:43:35,798 --> 00:43:38,029
This is Taku Morisaki.
510
00:43:38,602 --> 00:43:41,663

He was worried about me,

so he came along.
511
00:43:41,807 --> 00:43:44,538
Taku, this is Okada,
my former classmate.
512
00:43:44,945 --> 00:43:46,173
Hi.
513
00:43:46,915 --> 00:43:51,877
Rikako, a boyfriend already?
What a shock!
514
00:43:52,489 --> 00:43:55,391
<i>Look who's talking.
As soon as I left....</i>
515
00:43:55,493 --> 00:43:57,861
...you got together with Ryoko.
516
00:43:58,431 --> 00:44:00,559
I feel kind of betrayed!
517
00:44:00,668 --> 00:44:04,663
But you re prettier.
Ryoko says so too.
518
00:44:04,774 --> 00:44:06,572
She says she can't compete.
519
00:44:06,677 --> 00:44:08,110
Listen. Taku.
520
00:44:08,513 --> 00:44:12,281
<i>Wouldn't YOU be shocked?
I date Okada for a year....</i>
521
00:44:12,384 --> 00:44:16,982
<i>. ... and two months a fter I leave,
he's dating a friend of mine!</i>
522
00:44:17,092 --> 00:44:19,391
Happens all the time.
523
00:44:21,397 --> 00:44:23,629
Nothing surprises him either!

524
00:44:26,573 --> 00:44:29,168
I called Ryoko. Are you free?
525
00:44:29,277 --> 00:44:33,511
Why don't we all see a movie?
Like a double date.
526
00:44:36,420 --> 00:44:38,184
I'd like to, but...
527
00:44:38,857 --> 00:44:42,795
<i>... Papa's treating me to
lunch this a fternoon.</i>
528
00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:48,134
Too bad. If we'd known you were
coming, we could've made plans.
529
00:44:48,772 --> 00:44:51,298
But your mother's not very fair.
530
00:44:52,110 --> 00:44:56,811
She could've left you in Tokyo.
You're going to college here anyway.
531
00:44:57,418 --> 00:45:02,050
She had to drag her children
off to the country.
532
00:45:03,427 --> 00:45:06,956
What are you talking about?
She's not a child!
533
00:45:09,002 --> 00:45:10,435
What's wrong, Taku?
534
00:45:10,805 --> 00:45:15,437
You're a bore, that s what!
You and this guy both!
535
00:45:19,952 --> 00:45:23,617
He must be jealous of me.
Sorry about that.
536
00:45:28,396 --> 00:45:30,389
<i>I was disappointed.</i>

537
00:45:31,068 --> 00:45:36,406
<i>In Kochi Rikako seemed so strong, but
she gets to Tokyo and all she does...</i>
538
00:45:36,508 --> 00:45:39,912
<i>.... Is put on a big show and
fawn over a stupid guy.</i>
539
00:45:44,754 --> 00:45:45,983
Rikako?
540
00:45:50,363 --> 00:45:54,699
Okada says to tell you
he's not mad.
541
00:45:55,470 --> 00:45:57,565
That guy's really dumb.
542
00:45:57,774 --> 00:46:02,076
When we were dating I thought
he was kind and thoughtful.
543
00:46:04,884 --> 00:46:07,445
I called you because
I wanted to show off.
544
00:46:07,554 --> 00:46:10,786
Afterwards I just felt stupid.
545
00:46:11,894 --> 00:46:14,763
We're really bores
him and me both.
546
00:46:14,933 --> 00:46:19,736
Well, I can see you'd be shocked
about his new girlfriend.
547
00:46:19,973 --> 00:46:22,169
You don't get it, Taku.
548
00:46:22,911 --> 00:46:27,407
I was shocked because
he wasn't like I remembered.
549
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:30,880
All he talked about was himself.

550
00:46:31,022 --> 00:46:36,122
He didn't even ask about Kochi.
But that's his real personality.
551
00:46:36,331 --> 00:46:38,823
I just never noticed.
552
00:46:39,835 --> 00:46:41,964
I'll stay at my aunt's tonight.
553
00:46:42,073 --> 00:46:45,566
We shouldn't stay
in the same room anyway.
554
00:46:46,078 --> 00:46:47,944
Let's meet at the airport tomorrow.
555
00:46:51,419 --> 00:46:54,082
Our Tokyo trip
wasn't much fun, was it?
556
00:46:58,196 --> 00:47:02,932
<i>In half an hour,
Rikako seemed to have grown up.</i>
557
00:47:07,777 --> 00:47:09,268
Yumi, what's this?
558
00:47:09,379 --> 00:47:10,642
Do you want one?
559
00:47:10,814 --> 00:47:13,751
<i>After the holidays,
Rikako ignored me...</i>
560
00:47:14,153 --> 00:47:17,215
<i>... just as if nothing had happened.</i>
561
00:47:18,059 --> 00:47:21,393
<i>As usual, her only friend
was Yumi Kohama.</i>
562
00:47:37,421 --> 00:47:42,053
<i>Don't get me wrong.
I'm not worried about you....</i>

563
00:47:42,161 --> 00:47:44,996
<i>. ... but you're going to end up
without any friends.</i>
564
00:47:45,465 --> 00:47:47,400
<i>Try to be a little more...</i>
565
00:47:47,501 --> 00:47:48,696
Leave me alone!
566
00:48:09,968 --> 00:48:11,937
How were your finals?
567
00:48:12,406 --> 00:48:17,038
Awful. I m going to cram school
in Osaka this summer.
568
00:48:17,145 --> 00:48:19,114
Training camp, huh?
569
00:48:19,216 --> 00:48:21,242
Lt'll be a nice change.
570
00:48:24,690 --> 00:48:25,589
<i>Listen...</i>
571
00:48:26,292 --> 00:48:28,694
<i>Don't be upset, but...</i>
572
00:48:29,331 --> 00:48:33,235
<i>.... Did you and Rikako
take a trip during vacation?</i>
573
00:48:33,837 --> 00:48:37,330
Yeah, we did.
How did you know?
574
00:48:37,442 --> 00:48:41,813
How do you think?
The rumor's all over school.
575
00:48:41,916 --> 00:48:43,817
Haven't you heard?
576
00:48:43,919 --> 00:48:45,147
No, I haven't.

577
00:48:45,254 --> 00:48:46,984
That's just like you.
578
00:48:47,457 --> 00:48:51,828
Nobody wants to joke about it
to your face.
579
00:48:51,930 --> 00:48:53,364
People are whispering.
580
00:48:53,466 --> 00:48:56,767
Listen, I don't know
what people are saying.
581
00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:59,136
Rikako just went
to see her father.
582
00:48:59,708 --> 00:49:01,176
Yeah, I heard.
583
00:49:01,511 --> 00:49:04,310
From who?
Oid Yumi tell you?
584
00:49:04,415 --> 00:49:08,615
Yumi? Why her?
I heard it straight from Rikako.
585
00:49:11,392 --> 00:49:14,921
I ran into her on the way
home and asked her.
586
00:49:20,338 --> 00:49:22,170
What, that story again?
587
00:49:22,409 --> 00:49:26,676
Yes, I stayed with Taku
in a Tokyo hotel!
588
00:49:26,815 --> 00:49:29,080
What's that got
to do with you?
589
00:49:34,527 --> 00:49:35,653
<i>I'm...</i>

590
00:49:37,564 --> 00:49:40,432
I m in love with you.
591
00:49:45,743 --> 00:49:46,438
Look
592
00:49:47,411 --> 00:49:51,076
I hate Kochi, and boys
who speak Kochi dialect!
593
00:49:51,184 --> 00:49:55,419
Don't say that to me!
It makes me sick!
594
00:50:05,238 --> 00:50:07,264
<i>"Sick, " huh?</i>
595
00:50:07,909 --> 00:50:10,777
Yeah. It was kind of tough.
596
00:50:10,879 --> 00:50:13,281
Is that what
did your grades in?
597
00:50:14,051 --> 00:50:16,851
I'll get back on track
over summer.
598
00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:19,017
Now she's gone too far!
599
00:50:22,531 --> 00:50:23,656
Taku!
600
00:50:27,605 --> 00:50:29,300
Red or white?
601
00:50:29,474 --> 00:50:30,463
Red!
602
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,977
I've gotta talk to you.
Let's go!
603
00:50:37,252 --> 00:50:38,413

What?!
604
00:50:50,104 --> 00:50:51,470
What's the problem?
605
00:50:52,541 --> 00:50:55,410
Don't talk to me in school!
People will notice.
606
00:50:56,014 --> 00:51:00,850
You told Yutaka
we stayed in a hotel in Tokyo?
607
00:51:00,953 --> 00:51:01,943
So what?
608
00:51:02,055 --> 00:51:06,426
It was all your idea!
But people are pointing at ME!
609
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:08,527
<i>Why, you....!</i>
610
00:51:08,632 --> 00:51:12,933
I'm suffering thanks to you.
You're the worst, you really are.
611
00:51:20,916 --> 00:51:24,045
You're such a loyal friend!
Satisfied?
612
00:51:31,432 --> 00:51:34,402
<i>That trip to Tokyo...</i>
613
00:51:34,604 --> 00:51:39,066
<i>... really was a total disaster
for both of us.</i>
614
00:51:50,093 --> 00:51:51,492
<i>And so autumn came.</i>
615
00:52:00,307 --> 00:52:03,870
<i>Rikako was as isolated as ever.</i>
616
00:52:05,649 --> 00:52:09,018
<i>But her grades
just got better and better.</i>

617
00:52:10,890 --> 00:52:16,263
<i>Then, during the last event of
senior year
the school fair...</i>
618
00:52:19,503 --> 00:52:21,904
Sanuki udon noodles!
619
00:52:22,340 --> 00:52:24,809
She didn't come today either!
620
00:52:25,511 --> 00:52:28,038
Probably won't come
to the dance performance.
621
00:52:28,148 --> 00:52:30,345
She missed all the rehearsals.
622
00:52:30,452 --> 00:52:31,613
Probably thinks it's stupid!
623
00:52:32,255 --> 00:52:37,127
She cuts group events to raise
her grades! Can you believe it?
624
00:52:38,196 --> 00:52:40,131
Let's tell her off!
625
00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:41,927
How about tomorrow?
626
00:52:42,837 --> 00:52:43,929
<i>Excuse me...</i>
627
00:52:44,472 --> 00:52:45,633
Welcome!
628
00:52:46,275 --> 00:52:48,837
<i>"Announcement from
the Organizing Committee."</i>
629
00:52:48,945 --> 00:52:51,507
<i>"Today's final program
is Dance Paradise."</i>
630
00:52:51,617 --> 00:52:55,715

<i>"Classes finished with cleanup

should assemble in the courtyard."</i>
631
00:52:55,823 --> 00:53:01,992
<i>"I repeat. Classes finished
with cleanup should assemble..."</i>
632
00:53:02,099 --> 00:53:05,331
Is that all?
I'm in a hurry!
633
00:53:05,436 --> 00:53:07,463
What? What did you say?
634
00:53:07,574 --> 00:53:11,478
In a hurry? Don't you care
about class harmony?
635
00:53:11,712 --> 00:53:16,174
Class harmony? You sound like some
stupid politician!
636
00:53:16,554 --> 00:53:20,424
You're wrapped up in yourself.
What about the rest of the world?
637
00:53:21,328 --> 00:53:24,422
What kind of world is it where people
can't think of themselves?
638
00:53:24,866 --> 00:53:29,202
Does the world care about me?
I'll take care of myself!
639
00:53:29,339 --> 00:53:33,334
You pretend you're not interested in boys,
but I see you flirting!
640
00:53:33,445 --> 00:53:35,778
Making eyes at Yanagida!
641
00:53:35,882 --> 00:53:36,713
Yanagida?!
642
00:53:37,451 --> 00:53:40,216
I don't even know who he is!
643

00:53:40,789 --> 00:53:44,420

Bring him here!
I'll tell him I hate him!
644
00:53:48,634 --> 00:53:49,658
Stop it!
645
00:53:49,970 --> 00:53:52,371
You'll just hurt your school record.
646
00:53:53,474 --> 00:53:56,672
No point crying
because of someone like this.
647
00:54:02,922 --> 00:54:04,287
We won't forget this!
648
00:54:12,502 --> 00:54:16,235
I think I expected
too much from you.
649
00:54:26,289 --> 00:54:28,987
Taku! How long
have you been there?
650
00:54:30,696 --> 00:54:33,860
I'm just throwing this out.
I heard voices.
651
00:54:34,301 --> 00:54:38,398
Good for you.
You stood up to all those girls.
652
00:54:38,508 --> 00:54:40,875
Even made one of them cry.
653
00:54:42,046 --> 00:54:43,776
It was really impressive.
654
00:54:47,788 --> 00:54:50,588
You idiot! You're the worst!
655
00:55:14,994 --> 00:55:15,927
Hey!
656
00:55:19,101 --> 00:55:23,563
Rikako just ran by.

I think she was crying.

657
00:55:25,510 --> 00:55:30,314
Oh, she just got bullied
by the girls in our class.
658
00:55:30,418 --> 00:55:32,319
She cut all the activities.
659
00:55:32,587 --> 00:55:37,254
But she really stood up to them.
They couldn't touch her.
660
00:55:37,361 --> 00:55:40,854
That Rikako, she's tough.
It was really something.
661
00:55:41,334 --> 00:55:43,132
You didn't stop them?
662
00:55:44,471 --> 00:55:49,137
They'd have just told me
to butt out. They're fed up.
663
00:55:49,645 --> 00:55:51,739
She can be a real pain.
664
00:55:56,322 --> 00:55:58,314
You idiot!
665
00:56:17,253 --> 00:56:22,192
<i>I figured Yutaka and I would
be back to normal by next day.</i>
666
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,989
<i>At least, that's what I thought.</i>
667
00:56:25,698 --> 00:56:31,698
<i>But we graduated
without speaking again.</i>
668
00:56:33,009 --> 00:56:37,448
<i>Rikako enrolled at Kochi University,
Yutaka went to Kyoto...</i>
669
00:56:37,549 --> 00:56:41,042
<i>... and I went

to college in Tokyo.</i>
670
00:56:42,957 --> 00:56:48,489
<i>"We have just landed at Kochi Airport."</i>
671
00:56:58,547 --> 00:57:02,007
KOCHI AIR TERMINAL
672
00:57:08,061 --> 00:57:09,529
Hey, Taku!
673
00:57:11,766 --> 00:57:12,995
Yutaka!
674
00:57:17,109 --> 00:57:19,339
Thanks for picking me up.
675
00:57:19,812 --> 00:57:22,338
Sure. I got my license
last month.
676
00:57:22,682 --> 00:57:25,847
I'm impressed you found the time
to take lessons.
677
00:57:26,689 --> 00:57:30,854
Took me two months
just to get used to Tokyo.
678
00:57:31,462 --> 00:57:33,090
Another month for my job.
679
00:57:33,899 --> 00:57:36,198
Before I knew it, summer came.
680
00:57:36,670 --> 00:57:39,470
Tokyo and Kyoto are really different.
681
00:57:39,574 --> 00:57:43,205
Kyoto's almost like Kochi.
I settled in right away.
682
00:57:47,252 --> 00:57:49,721
But Kochi's nice.
It's not crowded.
683

00:57:49,822 --> 00:57:53,955

And everything you need
is right at hand.
684
00:57:54,630 --> 00:57:59,468
Tokyo's got everything, but
it takes an hour to get anywhere.
685
00:57:59,971 --> 00:58:03,465
Even Katsura Beach's
only an hour from here.
686
00:58:03,576 --> 00:58:07,480
Jingu Stadium s an hour,
with train transfers.
687
00:58:07,582 --> 00:58:09,573
<i>An hour from Kyoto...</i>
688
00:58:09,685 --> 00:58:12,484
<i>... you can get to Osaka or Nara.</i>
689
00:58:12,622 --> 00:58:15,491
Gosh, sounds like Kyoto's better.
690
00:58:23,906 --> 00:58:25,066
Want to come in?
691
00:58:25,676 --> 00:58:29,443
I'll pass for today.
Your family must be waiting.
692
00:58:29,547 --> 00:58:31,209
See you at the reunion?
693
00:58:35,657 --> 00:58:39,424
I always wanted to apologize.
Sorry I punched you.
694
00:58:39,662 --> 00:58:43,930
Ah, so that explains
the free ride from the airport!
695
00:58:46,706 --> 00:58:48,368
I'll call you.
696
00:58:48,475 --> 00:58:50,171

Want to take a walk?

697
00:58:51,914 --> 00:58:53,348
It's been a while.
698
00:59:26,199 --> 00:59:28,760
<i>I was angry that time. ...</i>
699
00:59:28,869 --> 00:59:32,033
<i>... because I knew you were
holding back on my account.</i>
700
00:59:35,544 --> 00:59:37,810
<i>I hadn't noticed till then. ...</i>
701
00:59:39,985 --> 00:59:42,386
<i>... that you really liked Rikako.</i>
702
01:00:09,195 --> 01:00:14,726
<i>Yutaka and I spent an hour
there then we went home.</i>
703
01:00:15,937 --> 01:00:19,067
PRIVATE PARTY
704
01:00:28,056 --> 01:00:32,188
You're living in Osaka?
I'm close
Kobe!
705
01:00:32,295 --> 01:00:33,126
Have a drink!
706
01:00:33,230 --> 01:00:34,288
<i>Thank you...</i>
707
01:00:36,067 --> 01:00:39,596
<i>It's ridiculous!
I can't even resign from a club. ...</i>
708
01:00:39,706 --> 01:00:42,403
<i>... unless the alumni approve.</i>
709
01:00:43,212 --> 01:00:45,977
So, I went
to Disneyland with him.
710

01:00:46,349 --> 01:00:48,319

We missed the last train.
711
01:00:48,420 --> 01:00:49,284
What happened??
712
01:00:49,654 --> 01:00:54,320
I thought I was joining a ski club,
not a religious group!
713
01:00:54,428 --> 01:00:57,660
They keep telephoning me.
It's driving me nuts!
714
01:01:00,537 --> 01:01:03,063
Better watch the drinking, Yamao.
715
01:01:05,877 --> 01:01:07,244
<i>She's late...</i>
716
01:01:07,348 --> 01:01:09,339
Late? Who?
717
01:01:10,018 --> 01:01:11,508
<i>She's late...</i>
718
01:01:14,790 --> 01:01:16,225
Scoot over more!
719
01:01:16,493 --> 01:01:17,654
What's happening?
720
01:01:18,363 --> 01:01:21,163
Yamamoto just confessed.
721
01:01:21,635 --> 01:01:24,070
He always liked Nishimura!
722
01:01:25,140 --> 01:01:26,539
Good for him.
723
01:01:28,511 --> 01:01:30,173
We've got a new couple!
724
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,284
Time for me to confess too!

725
01:01:40,061 --> 01:01:43,191
I've always had a thing
for Yumi Kohama!
726
01:01:47,506 --> 01:01:50,169
Well done, Yamao.
That's the spirit.
727
01:01:50,277 --> 01:01:51,643
What did Yumi say?
728
01:01:51,745 --> 01:01:53,408
She's not here yet!
729
01:01:55,084 --> 01:02:00,650
<i>From the start, she was always
in that flashy Rikako's shadow.</i>
730
01:02:00,758 --> 01:02:05,164
While you were mooning over Rikako,
I had my eye on Yumi.
731
01:02:05,265 --> 01:02:07,029
What's that supposed to mean?
732
01:02:10,441 --> 01:02:15,039
<i>Come on, now.
Shall we go to men's room?</i>
733
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,747
Hey, Yamao! Are you OK?
734
01:02:27,131 --> 01:02:29,794
Maybe Rikako's not coming after all.
735
01:02:33,273 --> 01:02:37,211
Rikako said she regrets
the things she said to you.
736
01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:46,821
Well, he's passed out.
737
01:02:46,993 --> 01:02:49,691
You're really looking good, Shimizu.
738

01:02:49,798 --> 01:02:51,288

Thanks.
739
01:02:51,433 --> 01:02:54,996
<i>Of course, Rikako was always pretty,
but she's even prettier now.</i>
740
01:02:56,408 --> 01:02:59,345
Shimizu told me she saw Rikako.
741
01:03:00,514 --> 01:03:02,005
Rikako's not here!
742
01:03:02,115 --> 01:03:05,780
<i>I ran into her yesterday,
in the department store.</i>
743
01:03:05,954 --> 01:03:08,618
I told her about the reunion...
744
01:03:08,726 --> 01:03:11,696
<i>... but she's probably flown home.</i>
745
01:03:11,798 --> 01:03:13,095
Flown?
746
01:03:16,271 --> 01:03:18,934
Rikako went back to Tokyo?
747
01:03:19,041 --> 01:03:22,978
Yeah. I'd always thought
she was in Kochi U.
748
01:03:23,314 --> 01:03:27,445
She got into Kochi U
to please her mother.
749
01:03:27,553 --> 01:03:30,581
But she secretly
tested for a Tokyo school too.
750
01:03:31,393 --> 01:03:33,725
<i>When you met her,
were you, like...</i>
751
01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:37,928
"Wow, it's great to see you."

And stuff like that?

752
01:03:38,036 --> 01:03:39,503
How 'd you know?
753
01:03:39,605 --> 01:03:42,700
Well, I knew
you never liked her!
754
01:03:43,243 --> 01:03:47,705
You're right, I never did.
I really hated her.
755
01:03:48,283 --> 01:03:52,222
But seeing her again
made me feel nostalgic.
756
01:03:52,557 --> 01:03:55,391
It's kind of like changing seats.
757
01:03:55,628 --> 01:03:58,895
<i>When you're little and have to sit
next to someone you hate....</i>
758
01:03:58,999 --> 01:04:01,993
<i>... you don't even
want to go to school.</i>
759
01:04:02,104 --> 01:04:06,543
The problem is,
your world is too small.
760
01:04:06,945 --> 01:04:11,042
<i>If you have something other than
school, like piano lessons....</i>
761
01:04:11,150 --> 01:04:14,849
<i>... people you dislike
aren't a problem.</i>
762
01:04:15,958 --> 01:04:17,688
<i>Let's see. That means. ...</i>
763
01:04:18,228 --> 01:04:22,599
<i>... you realize your world
was too small then?</i>
764

01:04:22,701 --> 01:04:24,670

And that's why
you went after Rikako?
765
01:04:24,771 --> 01:04:28,470
We both had the same problem.
766
01:04:28,577 --> 01:04:31,945
Rikako said her world
was really small, too.
767
01:04:39,192 --> 01:04:40,056
Yumi!
768
01:04:40,661 --> 01:04:42,527
Hey, Yumi!
769
01:04:45,001 --> 01:04:46,298
Yumi?
770
01:04:47,003 --> 01:04:47,868
Huh?
771
01:04:50,008 --> 01:04:52,307
<i>Yu. ... Yumi. ...?</i>
772
01:04:53,346 --> 01:04:54,780
Yumi!!
773
01:04:54,883 --> 01:04:55,781
Come on, Yamao!
774
01:04:55,884 --> 01:04:57,352
Take it easy!
775
01:04:59,689 --> 01:05:01,487
Yumi!!
776
01:05:11,707 --> 01:05:14,268
Hey! Come on!
777
01:05:16,381 --> 01:05:18,110
Yoo-hoo!
778
01:05:23,591 --> 01:05:26,186
What? You saw Rikako too?

779
01:05:26,596 --> 01:05:29,623
Yes. I wish Rikako had come.
780
01:05:29,734 --> 01:05:32,431
It felt like she was there.
781
01:05:32,537 --> 01:05:33,299
Me too.
782
01:05:33,406 --> 01:05:35,067
<i>That reminds me...</i>
783
01:05:35,174 --> 01:05:37,838
<i>. ... she said there's someone
in Tokyo she wants to see.</i>
784
01:05:38,980 --> 01:05:41,074
But she didn't say who.
785
01:05:41,183 --> 01:05:45,178
It's someone who likes
to sleep in bathtubs!
786
01:05:50,631 --> 01:05:54,228
I'd forgotten
just how pretty it was.
787
01:05:55,438 --> 01:05:56,770
The castle!
788
01:06:03,450 --> 01:06:06,181
<i>I always thought
lighting up Kochi Castle...</i>
789
01:06:06,321 --> 01:06:09,849
<i>... was a waste of electricity.</i>
790
01:06:09,992 --> 01:06:14,364
<i>But with Rikako next to me,
it would have been beautiful.</i>
791
01:06:14,633 --> 01:06:18,902
<i>There were so many things
I wanted to talk to her about.</i>
792

01:06:19,006 --> 01:06:22,636

<i>I wanted us to see the castle
together, like this.</i>
793
01:06:22,745 --> 01:06:25,408
<i>Taku! Could you
lend me some money?</i>
794
01:06:25,515 --> 01:06:28,452
<i>You sound like
one of the teachers!</i>
795
01:06:28,554 --> 01:06:30,921
<i>Are you a goody-goody?</i>
796
01:06:31,024 --> 01:06:32,959
<i>I heard you were different.</i>
797
01:06:33,060 --> 01:06:36,725
<i>I said not to tell!
You already told Yutaka!</i>
798
01:06:38,434 --> 01:06:42,497
<i>My period just started.
Sometimes it's really bad.</i>
799
01:06:42,607 --> 01:06:46,068
<i>When I see Papa,
I'm going to tell him.</i>
800
01:06:46,179 --> 01:06:49,617
<i>I want to move to Tokyo
and live with him.</i>
801
01:06:49,717 --> 01:06:54,419
<i>I'm staying here tonight.
Papa's paying, so I can if I want.</i>
802
01:06:54,525 --> 01:07:00,160
<i>My room was completely changed!
The wallpaper's dark green!</i>
803
01:07:00,267 --> 01:07:05,172
<i>I was on Papa's side.
But he wasn't on my side.</i>
804
01:07:05,274 --> 01:07:08,871
<i>We're bores
him and me both.</i>

805
01:07:08,980 --> 01:07:11,211
<i>Our trip wasn't
much fun, was it?</i>
806
01:07:11,316 --> 01:07:13,980
<i>You're such a loyal friend!
Satisfied?</i>
807
01:07:14,087 --> 01:07:16,455
<i>You idiot! You're the worst!</i>
808
01:07:17,826 --> 01:07:20,991
There's someone in Tokyo
I want to see.
809
01:07:21,098 --> 01:07:25,560
It's a guy who
likes to sleep in bathtubs!
810
01:09:16,467 --> 01:09:19,927
<i>And that's when I knew </i>
811
01:09:20,407 --> 01:09:22,307
<i>I'd always been crazy about her.</i>
