    We are in the Heisei Era Only!
    This Show was not in Showa!
[00:11] [SONG] ---
    Here, there, everywhere
    - okay! Hey-Say is okay!
[00:14] [SONG] ---
    We're in this era - sorry! But don't worry!
[00:17] [SONG] ---
    We'll surely find our dreams in the
    future. Come on, everybody, follow me!
[00:22] [SONG] ---
    You should start every day
    with a happily pounding heart.
[00:29] [SONG] ---
    All you need is wings, no fancy clothes.
[00:36] [SONG] ---
    I'm gonna be brave and fly out
    to a world never before seen.
[00:42] [SONG] ---
    And I'm taking you with me. Don't be shy.
[00:49] [SONG] ---
    It's just the two of us. Love
    is coming. Love is coming.
[00:56] [SONG] ---
    In the distant universe,
    one star shone brightest.
[01:03] [SONG] ---
    It is the Earth - a sparkling
    stage just for us.
[01:09] [SONG] ---
    The miracle that brought us
    together may have been flawed.
[01:16] [SONG] ---
    But that's meaningless. I like
    you just the way you are.

[01:38] ---
    We're breaking up.
[01:39] ---
    I can't be with someone like you anymore!
[01:42] ---
    Breaking up?
[01:44] ---
    Who's breaking up?
[01:45] ---
    Am I?
[01:46] ---
    Otani and I are breaking up?
[01:50] ---
    That hurrrrrt.
[01:51] ---
    It's that sort of absentmindedness
    that's made Otani fed up with you!
[01:55] ---
    Seriously, what were you thinking?!
[01:57] ---
    While your boyfriend is
    studying hard for college,
[01:58] ---
    you go out with another boy?!
[02:01] ---
    But that...
[02:02] ---
    "But" what? You're calling me a liar?
[02:05] ---
    No....
[02:07] ---
    Nobuko! What should I do!
[02:10] ---
    Don't ask me!
[02:11] ---
    You made your own bed.
[02:12] ---
    Lie in it alone!
[02:14] ---
    ...Guess she's right.
[02:15] ---
    Don't worry, Risa. I'm sure if you
    apologize a lot, he'll forgive you.
[02:20] ---
    ...Yeah.
SIGN    cry
[02:22] ---
    As much as my motives were unromantic...
[02:25] ---
    ...That was definitely
    not right for me to do.
[02:29] ---
    Just when I thought I
    couldn't get any dumber...
[02:34] ---
    Otani!
[02:36] ---
    Otani, I'm sorry!
[02:37] ---
    About what.
[02:38] ---
    About going out with another guy!
[02:40] ---
    I promise I'll never do
    anything like that again!
[02:42] ---
    I don't care.
[02:44] ---
    You can go out with whoever you want.
[02:46] ---
    It's not my business anymore.
[02:47] ---
    Hey, wait a minute!
[02:49] ---
    I don't want that!
[02:50] ---
    What's your problem?
[02:51] ---
    I really am sorry!
[02:52] ---
    So please, take back that we're breaking up.
[02:54] ---
    Shut up. A man never goes back on his word.
[02:56] ---
    Now's no time to show me what
    a proud, stubborn man you are!
[02:59] ---
    You should've considered that
    before you cheated on me!
[03:01] ---
    I said I'm sorry!
[03:03] ---
    There are some offenses
    that "sorry" won't cover.
[03:06] ---
    Then how can I make it up to you?
[03:08] ---
    There's no way you can make it up to me.
[03:09] ---
    From this day forth, I don't know you.
[03:12] ---
    Otani! Don't go, Otani!
[03:18] ---
    He can't...mean that...
[03:21] ---
    What a mess.
[03:22] ---
    "The end."
[03:24] ---
    I can't believe it.
[03:26] ---
    This can't be.
[03:28] ---
    This must be a dream.
[03:30] ---
    I'm having a nightmare.
[03:34] ---
    Been a while since I've heard
    the sound of breaking glass.
[03:38] ---
    Ouch!
[03:41] ---
    This isn't a dream.
[03:43] ---
    Are you okay?
[03:45] ---
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[03:47] ---
    I'll help.
[03:50] ---
    Thanks.
SIGN    WacDonald's. Drive-through.
[03:52] ---
    I really can't go on like this.
[03:55] ---
    Koizumi, sorry I said such cruel things.
[03:57] ---
    What's your deal?
[03:59] ---
    I'm vocalizing the murmurs
    of Otani's inner-heart.
[04:01] ---
    Is THAT why you called me out here?
[04:03] ---
    Then I'm leaving. I'm busy, ya know.
[04:05] ---
    But what are you gonna do?
[04:06] ---
    About what?
[04:08] ---
    Are you guys really broken up?
[04:09] ---
    Of course we are.
[04:10] ---
    For how long?
[04:11] ---
    What do you mean, "for how long"?
[04:13] ---
    For all eternity.
[04:15] ---
    In English, "folever"!
[04:17] ---
    Wrong.
[04:20] ---
    "Forever."
[04:22] ---
    I can tell he's gonna be mad for a while.
[04:25] ---
    That's why I broke up with her.
[04:28] ---
    I spend so much time thinking
    about her that I can't study.
[04:30] ---
    That moron.
[04:32] ---
    Breaking up won't do any good
    - you'll still think about her.
[04:34] ---
    I won't! She's dead to me!
[04:36] ---
    Ahhh, I'm a free man!
[04:42] ---
    Oh...
[04:43] ---
    I never thought he could be THAT stubborn.
[04:46] ---
    There's nothing you can do.
[04:47] ---
    It's all my fault.
[04:49] ---
    Besides, he really needs to
    focus on college right now.
[04:51] ---
    I think it's best we leave him alone.
[04:53] ---
    Wait, so you're just gonna stay broken up?
[04:55] ---
    Sorry to worry you.
[04:57] ---
    Don't apologize!
[04:58] ---
    If you hadn't been there for me, I'm not
    sure I would've got my Hokkaido stuff sorted out!
[05:02] ---
    Please, let me help you too!
[05:05] ---
    Thanks...
[05:06] ---
    But I'm okay.
[05:07] ---
    I'm just gonna make a clean break.
[05:09] ---
    Risa!
[05:17] ---
    I never got a chance to give this to him.
[05:24] ---
    I went through all the trouble sewing it...
[05:26] ---
    I should at least give it to him.
[05:36] ---
    Otani... good luck.
[05:44] ---
    What's wrong, boy?
[05:49] ---
    Oh.

    -Risa Koizumi.
[06:10] ---
    Oh, it's from Risa!
[06:13] ---
    Don't open it!
SIGN    Good luck, Otani!
[06:15] ---
    Oh, how cute! And it looks super warm.
[06:17] ---
    Try it on, Atchan.
SIGN    You'll pass!
[06:22] ---
    So cute!
SIGN    Otani FTW!
[06:31] ---
    What'm I, a workhorse?...
[06:32] ---
    Risa sure is a sweet girl.
[06:35] ---
    But I wonder why she didn't
    deliver it personally?

[06:41] ---
    I hope Otani got my motivational goods.
[06:45] ---
    Koizumi, are you done for the day?
SIGN    Men's changing room.
[06:47] ---
    Yeah. Are you still on the clock?
[06:50] ---
    Yes.
[06:50] ---
    Oh, and the manager said she needed
    you to sign up for December shifts.
[06:54] ---
    Ah, I'd completely forgotten!
[06:56] ---
    December...
[06:58] ---
    Christmas...
[07:21] ---
    This year I'll be all alone.
[07:24] ---
    Koizumi! Would you like to
    take a shift on Christmas Eve?
[07:27] ---
    After the day is over, the
    staff is gonna have a party.
[07:32] ---
    Does that sound like fun?
[07:34] ---
    The staff?
[07:35] ---
    Yes! Ms. Matsubara is also coming.
[07:37] ---
    That old bag apparently got drunk
    and acted really crazy last year.
[07:40] ---
    No way! For real??
[07:42] ---
    Isn't that a sight you'd like to see?
[07:43] ---
    Mr. Kohori.
[07:45] ---
    Who are you calling an "old bag"?
[07:47] ---
    Er, no one ma'am!
[07:49] ---
    Just taking out these OLD BAGS of trash!
[07:51] ---
    Good night, boss!
SIGN    Separate your trash!
[08:04] ---
    Koizumi already went home...
[08:07] ---
    Oh, I was just on my way
    home from cram school.
[08:11] ---
    I guess that makes sense.
[08:13] ---
    You guys did break up, after all.
[08:16] ---
    You really are small.
[08:17] ---
    How many centimeters?
[08:18] ---
    158.
[08:20] ---
    No way! That makes me 2cm shorter.
[08:26] ---
    That hurt!
[08:27] ---
    What was that for?
[08:28] ---
    Like you don't know!
[08:29] ---
    This is all YOUR fault.
[08:31] ---
    You stole Koizumi from me.
[08:35] ---
    But that was just...
[08:36] ---
    Her sleeping face was so pretty that I...
[08:38] ---
    Agggh! How can you be so sappy?!
[08:41] ---
    I'm not being sappy! I'm just being honest!
[08:44] ---
    Shut up! You want your face smashed, runt?!
[08:46] ---
    But I'm 2cm taller than you!
[08:48] ---
    Like that matters!
[08:49] ---
    I mean, how do you feel about Koizumi anyway!
[08:52] ---
    ...I love her.
[08:56] ---
    And I won't hold back anymore.
[09:07] ---
    I wonder what he did with
    the "good luck" robe?
[09:10] ---
    No, the robe doesn't matter.
[09:12] ---

    I'll be okay.
[09:33] ---
    See how optimistic I can be?
SIGN    Yeah, I know Hokkaido is cold,
[09:36] ---
    Usually this is where
    Otani would take my hand.
SIGN    But worrying about it won't make no change
[09:38] ---
    And he'd make a stupid
    face and cheer, "yaaay!"

    It's Christmas - don't you
    want to spend it with Risa?
[10:05] ---
    I actually just bumped
    into her at the station.
SIGN    I love you so much it hurts  and it's driving me crazy.
[10:07] ---
    She was with a boy around your height.
[10:10] ---
    I won't hold back anymore.
SIGN    I love you, boy. I love you, boy.
[10:18] ---
    Koizumi!
[10:19] ---
    Atchan...
SIGN    You're taking over my life more and  more. I want to hold you right now.
[10:27] ---
    I thought I'd be fine without Otani...
[10:31] ---
    But I just can't function at all!
[10:34] ---
    I think I really...
SIGN    Won't make no change...
[10:38] ---
    Woah, what a fall.
[10:39] ---
    That's gotta hurt.
[10:40] ---
    Is she okay?
[10:41] ---
    Ouchhhh!
[10:45] ---
    I need Otani.
[10:57] ---
    Otani...how did you...
[11:01] ---
    It must suck to fall from such a height.
[11:07] ---
    Your robe...
[11:08] ---
    Yeah, I don't like being
    thought of as a workhorse...
[11:11] ---
    But thanks.
[11:14] ---
    After you're finished with your exams,
    I'm gonna try to win you back again.
[11:20] ---
    You know how stubborn I am.
[11:22] ---
    You can reject me and dump me all
    you want, but I'm not staying down.
[11:25] ---
    So... For now, concentrate on your exams...
[11:42] ---
    O...Otani?
[11:45] ---
    Sorry.
[11:46] ---
    I didn't mean it.
[11:48] ---
    I take back dumping you.
[11:49] ---
    But...college?
[11:51] ---
    No. I was wrong.
[11:54] ---
    What?
[11:55] ---
    I...
[11:56] ---
    I guess it's worse than I thought...
[11:58] ---
    I can't let you go.
[12:00] ---
    I love you too much.
[12:03] ---
    No way...
[12:05] ---
    Stop making funny noises.
[12:07] ---
    If it means he'll say sweet things like this,
[12:09] ---
    I don't care if we break up a hundred times!
[12:14] ---
    Otani...
[12:15] ---
    What now?
[12:16] ---
    Everyone's watching us.
[12:18] ---
    I know that.
[12:19] ---
    You at least have a place to bury your face!
[12:21] ---
    Everyone can totally see me sobbing.
[12:23] ---
    Idiot, at least you don't have
    "good luck" sewn onto your back.
[12:26] ---
    I really do wish you good luck.
[12:32] ---
    ...Let's run for it.
[12:34] ---
    One, two...
[12:42] ---
    I didn't get you a Christmas present.
[12:44] ---
    But I did get a present from you.
[12:47] ---
    But I didn't give you anything.
[12:49] ---
    You gave me a great present.
[12:51] ---
    I can't let you go.
[12:54] ---
    I love you too much.
[12:57] ---
    That was the best present ever.
[13:01] ---
    I don't need anything else.
[13:13] ---
    And thus,
[13:14] ---
    With the gruesome crisis behind us,
[13:18] ---
    The New Year was upon us.
[13:22] ---
    Oh, crap!
[13:23] ---
    Late on the first day of the year!
[13:25] ---
    You shouldn't've called me so
    late to wish me a happy new year!
[13:29] ---
    If I hadn't called, you'd be sad.
[13:31] ---
    What'm I, a baby?!
[13:34] ---
    Here come the late lovebirds.
[13:37] ---
    Okay, guys. Now our lovey-dovey
    circle of couples is complete.
[13:41] ---
    Let's give their reconciliation
    some applause!
[13:46] ---
    I missed my chance...
[13:47] ---
    New Year's resolution:
    make them break up again!
[13:50] ---
    Mr. Haruka, don't start off the
    new year with a rotten attitude.
[13:58] ---
    Otani and the others plunged
    themselves into college exams.
[14:03] ---
    Meanwhile, Nobuko and I cheered them on...
[14:07] ---
    And plunged ourselves into bargain shopping!
[14:09] ---
    Nobuko, wouldn't this go perfect with
    the skirt we bought the other day?
[14:13] ---
    Yeah, it would!
[14:18] ---
    I really wonder if it's okay for us to have
    so much fun while everyone else is studying.
[14:21] ---
    What do you mean "us"?
[14:22] ---
    You're the only one who doesn't
    have any post-graduation plans.
[14:25] ---
    Why haven't ya enrolled in a
    vocational training school yet?
[14:28] ---
    Well, there's just too many
    hoops to jump through...
[14:30] ---
    Hey, if Otani becomes an
    elementary school teacher,
[14:33] ---
    Maybe I should teach preschool?
[14:35] ---
    You need a license for that.
[14:37] ---
    No way!
[14:38] ---
    Hey, why don't you go into fashion?
[14:40] ---
    You've got good taste.
[14:42] ---
    Well, I do like playing dress-up...but
    that's hardly a career.
[14:49] ---
    Darling? I'm on my way.
[14:52] ---
    See ya in a bit.
[14:59] ---
    Chiharu?
[15:01] ---
    Suzuki?
[15:04] ---
    Suzuki, you failed the exam at the center?!
[15:06] ---
    Then that means you can't go
    to the same college as Chiharu!
[15:10] ---
    Yeah...I was sick on the day of the test.
[15:13] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:14] ---
    Mff...mffmff.
[15:19] ---
    He took too much cold medicine
    and blacked out mid-exam.
[15:23] ---
    And then... the inevitable...
[15:26] ---
    I really wanted to go to the same college.
[15:29] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.
[15:31] ---
    "Promise"?
[15:34] ---
    Wait, Suzuki!
[15:37] ---
    Give him some space for now.
[15:40] ---
    What did he promise?
[15:42] ---
    Well, last year we went to some
    college campuses to shop around.
[15:48] ---
    And at one school fair...
[15:50] ---
    Suzuki! Where are you?
[15:53] ---
    Woah, aren't you a little cutie.
[15:55] ---
    Wanna hang with us?
[15:57] ---
    What year are you?
[15:57] ---
    Um, I'm still in high school.
[16:00] ---
    Then, are ya gonna come here next year?
[16:02] ---
    That's awesome!
[16:04] ---
    Having a cute girl like you here
    would make this place perfect.
[16:07] ---
    Umm...well...
[16:08] ---
    Tanaka!
[16:10] ---
    Suzuki...
[16:11] ---
    Oh, she's got a boyfriend.
[16:13] ---
    Tease.
[16:15] ---
    College is scary.
[16:17] ---
    It's full of scary boys.
[16:20] ---
    Tanaka!
[16:20] ---
    It's full of...dirty...
[16:23] ---
    Who am I?
[16:25] ---
    Don't worry!
[16:26] ---
    Tanaka...I'll be with you wherever you go!
[16:28] ---
    Suzuki...
[16:31] ---
    Oh dear...
[16:32] ---
    So what should I do?
[16:35] ---
    Chiharu...
[16:49] ---
    Suzuki.
[16:51] ---
    I'm going to go to the same college as you.
[16:54] ---
    So don't worry about it.
[16:56] ---
    Ah, I get it, I get it.
[16:57] ---
    What do you get?
[16:58] ---
    You're not making sense.
[17:01] ---
    Does that mean you're giving
    up on your dream college?
[17:04] ---
    Yes. I want to be with you.
[17:10] ---
    ...I don't trust myself.
[17:13] ---
    Even if you give up on your dream college
    and try for one of your safety schools,
[17:16] ---
    there's no guarantee I'll pass that exam.
[17:19] ---
    Suzuki, how can you say that?!
[17:21] ---
    Chiharu is making a sacrifice for you!
[17:23] ---
    Why?
[17:24] ---
    Why are you saying that?
[17:27] ---
    I couldn't keep my promise.
[17:30] ---
    But I figure...
[17:31] ---
    there's probably a dozen guys better
    than me at your dream college.
[17:34] ---
    They can watch over you.
[17:41] ---
    Tanaka?
[17:42] ---
    Chiharu? That's danger-
[17:44] ---
    Stay out of this!
[17:45] ---
    Yes'm...
[17:46] ---
    If you think I want to go to
    the same college as you...
[17:49] ---
    so you can watch over me, you're dead wrong!
[17:53] ---
    I just want to be with YOU - no one else!
[17:57] ---
    Tanaka...
[17:59] ---
    And you dare suggest someone
    else can take your place?
[18:02] ---
    Chiharu!
[18:03] ---
    You don't trust yourself - that's BS!
[18:06] ---
    You're just a moron!
[18:16] ---
    D-damn, Chiharu...
[18:18] ---
    So THAT'S how she is when she's mad.
[18:20] ---
    I totally sympathize, too.
[18:22] ---
    What're you gonna do?
[18:23] ---
    What do you mean "do"?
[18:24] ---
    But why? Why can't you guys
    just go to the same college?
[18:29] ---
    I want what's best for her
    and what's best for me.
[18:35] ---
    Found it. That's the book.
[18:40] ---
    Thanks.
[18:41] ---
    Her dream college has an author she really
    respects working in the literary department.
[18:46] ---
    If she gives up that college to be with me,
[18:50] ---
    she'll regret it when she falls
    short of achieving her goals.
[18:55] ---
    Guess you're right.
[18:57] ---
    And I don't want that!
[19:01] ---
    So you pushed her away on purpose...
[19:03] ---
    Why're ya acting all noble?
[19:05] ---
    I know you mean well, but it's
    having the reverse effect.
[19:08] ---
    He's right!
[19:08] ---
    Why can't you just tell
    her what you just told us?
[19:11] ---
    Do you have any idea how
    happy that would make her?
[19:16] ---
    Go get her!
[19:51] ---
    Over here!
[19:54] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:55] ---
    I had no idea you'd taken
    so much into consideration.
[20:01] ---
    Tanaka...
[20:02] ---
    Yes?
[20:03] ---
    I'm going to keep studying and get accepted
    into your dream college next year.
[20:09] ---
    And I want you to wait for me.
[20:12] ---
    I will.
[20:18] ---
    Good for you, Chiharu, Suzuki.
[20:24] ---
    What's with you? You've
    been sighing all afternoon.
[20:28] ---
    ...What's the meaning of life?
[20:31] ---
    Are ya seriously asking that?
[20:33] ---
    I am! Everyone else knows
    what they want except me!
[20:36] ---
    Koizumi...
[20:37] ---
    Seeing those two today made me realize
    I really need to get it together.
[20:41] ---
    I don't want my dreams to pass me
    by because I didn't go for them.
[20:45] ---
    There's a good girl. Think
    really hard about it.
[20:48] ---
    You too. Study hard, boy.
[20:53] ---
    Time passed in a whirlwind.
[20:56] ---
    Before I realized it, Otani's
    exam was the next day.
[21:02] ---
    Stop it!
[21:03] ---
    Why am I calling him? So inconsiderate!
SIGN    Otani
[21:09] ---
    I'm home.
[21:13] ---
    Get out at once!
[21:15] ---
    Wh-what?
[21:16] ---
    This house is infected by a level 5 virus!
[21:23] ---
    Level 5...What the hell? Open up!!
[21:27] ---
    It's influenza.
[21:29] ---
    And I'm not the only one.
[21:30] ---
    Your father and sister are
    both home with high fevers.
[21:34] ---
    This house is quarantined.
[21:36] ---
    Quarantined?
[21:37] ---
    Wait! I've got my college test tomorrow!
[21:42] ---
    Here.
[21:44] ---
    Take that and run fast!
[21:45] ---
    Go spend the night with a healthy friend!
[21:49] ---
    This is freaking crazy!
[21:52] ---
    Otani...I'll be wishing you well.
[21:56] ---
    Hey, wait a minute.
[21:57] ---
    I really do have my test tomorrow.
[22:00] ---
    Why is this happening to me?
[22:03] ---
    No way!
[22:10] [SONG] ---
    The setting sun hurries for the distant sky
[22:15] [SONG] ---
    It pauses for a moment and
    shows me pastel colored dreams
[22:20] [SONG] ---
    Alone, I cannot shine. Neither can I be hurt.
[22:25] [SONG] ---
    I realize that love is something
    that must be shared.
[22:30] [SONG] ---
    Why am I here? Why are you with me?
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    Why am I here? Why are you laughing with me?
[22:40] [SONG] ---
    Always and forever, I want to stay like this.
[22:53] [SONG] ---
    In the moment my heart begins to dance,
[22:56] [SONG] ---
    Echoing voices embrace us.
[23:03] [SONG] ---
    The pounding of your heart
    reaches my fingertips.
[23:06] [SONG] ---
    And it is so warm; unbelievably warm.
[23:26] ---
    Good luck on your college test!...Wait,
    it's already graduation.
[23:29] ---
    Koizumi, now's no time to cry...
[23:31] ---
    We're late to our graduation ceremony!
