[00:05] Dad
    What a nice morning.
[00:08] Dad
    I guess it is a bit cold, though.
[00:11] Nao
    Is this spot okay?
[00:13] Hime
    Yeah!
[00:15] Nao
    Looks good.
[00:17] Hime
    We're all done, so why
    don't you go take a seat?
[00:20] Nao
    Yes, sir!
[00:22] Hime
    Sorry to be asking for
    your help on our day off.
[00:26] Nao
    It's fine.
[00:27] Nao
    It's not like I had anything
    to do this morning.
[00:30] Nao
    But yeah, yesterday was a lot of fun, huh?
[00:34] Hime
    Yeah, I'm also happy that
    everybody liked my mom's mugs.
[00:41] Nao
    This picture's good, too.
[00:47] Nao
    Have you been worried
    about that forever now?
[00:49] ---
    Oh, well...
[00:52] (Flashback) Dad
    It'll be the spot for Toyokawa
    Himeno's masterpiece.
[00:58] Hime
    I don't know.
[01:00] Hime
    Maybe it is weighing on me.
[01:05] Nao
    There, there.

[03:39] txt
    Touko-senpai, I need your advice.
[03:43] Grand
    Hime-chan, can you come down?
[03:46] Hime
    Coming!
[03:48] Hime
    What is it?
[03:49] Grand
    I need you to take out an iced coffee
    for me and get an autograph.
[03:53] Hime
    An autograph?
[03:54] Grand
    Arai Keitarou-san is here!
[03:57] Hime
    Who was that again?
[03:59] Grand
    Right here!
[04:00] Grand
    Don't you know him?
[04:02] Grand
    He was a big star in the Showa era.
[04:04] Hime
    Wow! So what's such a famous
    person doing in Tajimi?
[04:09] grand
    I'm not sure.
[04:10] grand
    He was in the area ages ago
    for a movie shoot, though.
[04:14] Dad
    Here you go.
[04:15] Dad
    A card for the autograph and an iced coffee.
[04:17] Hime
    What, me?!
[04:22] Hime
    Thank you for waiting.
[04:23] Arai
    Thanks.
[04:25] Both
    So, um...
[04:26] Arai
    Can you tell me where Juubeh kiln is?
[04:29] Arai
    I'm not quite sure which
    bus I need to get on.
[04:32] Hime
    Uh, ah, the Juubeh kiln?
[04:35] Hime
    Oh, wait! I know!
[04:37] Hime
    My senpai's grandfather owns it.
[04:39] Arai
    Is that right?
[04:41] Arai
    It's been a while since I've been to Tajimi
    and all this walking around has got me worn out.
[04:45] Grand
    We'll bring the car around.
[04:47] Grand
    It's quite a ways from here, right?
[04:50] Grand
    You can do that, right, Toki-kun?
[04:51] Dad
    Sure!
[04:53] Arai
    Oh, I couldn't.
[04:56] Grand
    Oh, it's not a problem!
[04:58] Grand
    You did a movie shoot in Tajimi
    a long time ago, right?
[05:01] Grand
    I was in high school when I went to see you.
[05:04] Arai
    Did you now?
[05:06] Arai
    Well, what do you know?
SIGN    No Bicycles or Scooters
[05:12] Arai
    You know, my first leading role was playing
    a potter named Kawada Tokishirou.
[05:19] Hime
    Tokishirou?
[05:20] Hime
    That's my dad's name, too.
[05:22] Hime
    Oh, so that's why you came into our café.
[05:25] Arai
    That's right. The sign made me so happy.
[05:28] Dad
    You won the best leading actor
    award with that first role, right?
[05:32] Hime
    That's amazing!
[05:33] Arai
    Oh no. All of that happened so long ago.
[05:36] Arai
    So are you a potter, too?
[05:39] Hime
    I just started.
[05:42] Arai
    You're going to make something really wonderful and put it up in the café, right?
[05:47] Hime
    What?! You told him about that, too?
[05:50] Hime
    It's not funny!
[05:54] Hime
    So are you friends with
    my senpai's grandfather?
[05:59] Arai
    Back when I was cast for the movie, I didn't
    know the first thing about pottery.
[06:09] Arai
    At the time, Aoki-sensei was an
    energetic potter in his thirties.
[06:13] Arai
    He taught me the basics, but
    he was really kind to me.
[06:17] Hime
    Wow, really?
[06:19] Hime
    I always thought of him
    as someone really strict.
[06:21] Arai
    Not at all.
[06:23] Arai
    We kept in touch afterwards as well.
[06:26] Arai
    When I'd sent him photos of my passionate
    but horrible attempt at a bowl,
[06:30] Arai
    he'd give me advice.
[06:32] Arai
    He also made sure to watch movies where I had
    the leading role and sent me a written review.
[06:38] Hime
    So he'll look at things Arai-san made...
[06:42] (Flashback) Tou
    He's never shown up, though.
[06:48] Mik
    I didn't see this coming...
[06:50] (Flashback) Mik
    Wow, this is so different?!
[06:53] (Flashback) Mik
    What's going on, Touko-senpai?
[06:55] (Flashback) Tou
    Is it weird?
[06:56] (Flashback) Mik
    It's not weird at all! It's wonderful!
[06:58] (Flashback) Mik
    But I thought blue was your color!
[07:01] (Flashback) Tou
    The thing is, I've been wanting to try
    something like this for a long time.
[07:06] (Flashback) Mik
    Oh, I see.
[07:08] (Flashback) Tou
    So I just stopped worrying and did it.
[07:13] Mik
    Actually, I had somehow
    known she wanted this...
[07:17] Mik
    But I always liked the blue she created...
[07:23] Mik
    So I couldn't encourage her.
[07:28] (Flashback) Hime
    You don't have to worry
    that it's not like you!
[07:32] (Flashback) Tou
    Toyokawa-san...
[07:42] Mik
    I'm a bit jealous.
[07:45] Mik
    Why can Hime-chan just come
    out and say it like that?
[07:50] Tou
    Mii-chan, good cat.
[07:52] Tou
    Huh?
[07:56] Tou
    Hello! It's been so long, Arai-san!
[08:01] Arai
    Touko-chan?
[08:02] Arai
    Wow, you've really grown!
[08:04] Arai
    You look wonderful.
[08:06] Tou
    Thank you!
[08:08] Arai
    Is Aoki-sensei in the usual spot?
[08:11] Tou
    Yes, please go in.
[08:18] Tou
    Toyokawa-san?
[08:22] Tou
    Oh, you came with him.
[08:23] Hime
    These are some sandwiches and
    coffee from my grandmother.
[08:27] Hime
    She's a big fan of Arai-san.
[08:29] Tou
    I see!
[08:30] Hime
    So, uh...
[08:32] Hime
    Later, we could have that talk?
[08:34] Tou
    Huh?
[08:35] Arai
    Touko-chan!
[08:38] Arai
    Where's the bathroom again?
[08:40] Tou
    Just in the back there.
[08:42] Tou
    Come with me.
[08:43] Hime
    Thank you.
[08:46] Arai
    I'm so sorry to come unannounced.
[08:49] Aoki
    Oh, no. Please don't be so formal.
[08:52] Aoki
    But anyway, it's really been a while, huh?
[08:55] Arai
    I apologize for being such
    an incompetent student.
[09:01] Arai
    I'm glad to see you in good health.
[09:02] Hime
    So how has it been with your grandfather?
[09:06] Tou
    Nothing's really changed.
[09:08] Tou
    I still haven't had a chance
    to show him the big plate.
[09:11] Hime
    I see.
[09:13] Arai
    Touko-chan.
[09:15] Arai
    Will you join me? It's been so long.
[09:21] Arai
    This is quite hard.
[09:25] Arai
    Oh, no! Not like that.
[09:27] Aoki
    You got careless.
[09:31] Arai
    I'm embarrassing.
[09:36] Arai
    Just what I'd expect from you, Touko-chan.
[09:38] Arai
    That's perfect.
[09:40] Tou
    Not at all...
[09:42] Aoki
    Your movements are stiff, Touko.
[09:46] Tou
    Sorry.
[09:47] Arai
    Are they?
[09:48] Aoki
    I can tell by looking at the
    muscles in her right arm.
[09:51] Aoki
    You're putting too much force into it.
[09:54] Arai
    He's too hard on you, huh, Touko-chan?
[09:58] Tou
    No, I really was getting too stiff.
[10:08] Arai
    Talking about being hard.
[10:11] Arai
    My father was also hard on me,
     in a different way.
[10:15] Arai
    He's never praised my work, not even once.
[10:18] Hime
    But you're such a great actor.
[10:20] Tou
    Right?
[10:22] Arai
    He was the type of person who wouldn't accept
    anything but governmental work or banking.
[10:27] Arai
    When he found out I was becoming an actor,
    he said he'd disown me and cut me off.
[10:31] Aoki
    There were many people like that, back then.
[10:35] Arai
    I figured I'd just cut
    him out of my life, too.
[10:39] Arai
    But at some point I realized,
[10:41] Arai
    I was trying to put on performances
    that would make my old man praise me.
[10:46] Aoki
    Is that how things go?
[10:50] Arai
    However at the wake, my sister
    showed me a notebook.
[10:55] Arai
    There were 30 years worth of clippings
    about me from magazines and papers...
[10:59] Arai
    And he had written,
     "This performance made me cry hard."
[11:02] Arai
    "He might not be the best,
    but he's become a first-rate actor."
[11:07] Aoki
    That's quite something.
[11:09] Arai
    The moment I saw that,
    my heart felt so much lighter.
[11:13] Arai
    It was right after that that
    I won an award in France.
[11:17] Aoki
    It's so great that there
    was such a notebook.
[11:21] Arai
    I would have liked to reconcile
    with him before he died, though.
[11:28] Hime
    We don't have to talk today, Touko-senpai.
[11:32] Tou
    Huh, are you sure?
[11:34] Hime
    Yeah, I kind of...
[11:41] Arai
    Thank you so much for everything today.
[11:44] Aoki
    Of course. Please take care.
[11:54] Tou
    Then I guess I'll go too, Grandpa.
[11:57] Grand
    Touko,
[11:59] Grand
    do you have some time?
[12:07] Arai
    You really helped me out today.
[12:10] Hime
    No, thank you! I had such a fun day!

[12:13] Arai
    This is for your grandmother.
[12:16] Him
    Wow, thank you so much!
[12:20] Arai
    I'm sorry. All we did was
    talk about ancient history.
[12:24] Him
    Not at all! It was very inspiring!
[12:27] Arai
    I'm glad to hear that.
[12:29] Arai
    So now I have yet another reason
    to come back to Tajimi.
[12:33] Arai
    I'll see you again at your café for
    some sandwiches and fresh coffee.
[12:37] Hime
    Definitely!
[12:49] Tou
    It's been so long since
    we've come here together.
[12:53] Aoki
    Yes.
[12:58] Tou
    The fall leaves are so beautiful...
[13:02] Aoki
    Yes.
