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! SIGN    To Tokikawa Sachie-san     Arai Keitarou [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. [14:25] Dam     The bob-haired one gets a sudden     invitation from Forehead.
