[00:09] Rikuo
    Shoot... I have to get to work.
[00:11] Rikuo
    It's freezing.
[00:13] Rikuo
    Why do I have to work
    before the sun's even up?
[00:17] Rikuo
    In this town, the crows
    wake up before the people.
[00:23] Rikuo
    Twenty yen is your change.
[00:26] Rikuo
    Thank you.
[00:31] Rikuo
    So tired...
[00:44] Rikuo
    What am I even doing?
[00:49] Rikuo
    You're back again.
[00:51] Rikuo
    Here.
[00:52] Rikuo
    You got left out.
[00:55] Haru
    Can I have some, too?
[01:08] Haru
    Can I have a bento, too?
[01:14] Rikuo
    I'm not allowed to do that.
[01:17] Rikuo
    Sorry.
[01:19] Haru
    But you gave some to the crows.
[01:21] Haru
    I missed the last train.
[01:23] Haru
    I walked all the way here from Shinjuku.
[01:25] Haru
    Just pretend I'm another crow.
SIGN    Reject
[01:31] Haru
    Here.
[01:32] Rikuo
    I only have seaweed bento.
[01:33] Haru
    Yes!
[01:35] Rikuo
    I'll get in trouble if
    I get caught doing this.
[01:38] Haru
    What's your first name, Uozumi-kun?
SIGN    Uozumi
[01:41] ---
    Huh?
[01:42] Rikuo
    Uh... It's Rikuo.
[01:46] Haru
    Thanks, Rikuo!
[01:48] Haru
    I'm Haru.
[01:49] Haru
    Are you in college?
[01:51] Rikuo
    I graduated this year.
[01:54] Rikuo
    I'm a loafer now.
[01:55] Haru
    Do you like crows?
[01:56] Rikuo
    Do I like them?
[01:58] Rikuo
    I guess they're cute when
    you get used to them.
[02:00] Haru
    This one's called Kansuke.
[02:02] Haru
    Isn't he cute?
[02:04] Haru
    See you.
[02:04] Haru
    Thanks for the bento.
[02:07] Rikuo
    What a weird girl.
[02:08] Kinoshita
    There you are.
[02:10] Kinoshita
    Quit slacking and get back to work, Uozumi.
[02:12] Rikuo
    Sorry, Kinoshita-san.
SIGN    Sing "Yesterday" for Me
SIGN    Alumni Reunion
[02:30] Rikuo
    "Thanks for another day of hard work," huh?
[02:36] (Flashback) Shinako
    I guess this is goodbye.
[02:40] (Flashback) Shinako
    We won't necessarily
    find work here, after all.
[02:44] (Flashback) Shinako
    We aren't students anymore,
[02:46] (Flashback) Shinako
    and we won't get anywhere
    working part-time forever.
[02:59] ---
    Who is it?
[03:01] Fukuda
    Hey.
[03:03] Rikuo
    It's you, Fukuda?
[03:05] Fukuda
    This place never changes, does it?
[03:07] Fukuda
    It's a mess that transcends time.
[03:10] Rikuo
    Do you come with no gifts
    for your starving friend?
[03:13] Fukuda
    Why should I spend my
    hard-earned money on a loafer?
[03:19] Fukuda
    Anyway, you got that letter
    about the reunion, didn't you?
[03:23] Rikuo
    Are we really doing that?
[03:26] Rikuo
    We just graduated this year.
[03:28] Fukuda
    Well, it's been six months since
    we entered the real world.
[03:31] Fukuda
    We want a chance to rant freely.
[03:34] Rikuo
    I'll pass.
[03:36] Rikuo
    I failed to get a job.
    People will just feel sorry for me,
[03:39] Rikuo
    and it'll get awkward.
[03:41] Fukuda
    You didn't fail to get a job.
[03:43] Fukuda
    You didn't bother.
[03:45] Fukuda
    You never did any job hunting.
[03:50] Rikuo
    I did at first.
[03:52] Rikuo
    But I got to thinking...
[03:54] Rikuo
    There isn't really anything I want to do.
[03:58] Fukuda
    It's not like everyone's doing the work they
    really want to be doing, I don't think.
[04:04] Fukuda
    You're working at a convenience
    store to make ends meet.
[04:07] Fukuda
    Isn't that the same thing?
[04:10] Rikuo
    It doesn't feel as stressful when
    I think of it as just a part-time gig.
[04:13] Rikuo
    It's easy to quit if I get sick of it.
[04:15] Rikuo
    And my employer doesn't have to expect much
    of me if they think of me as a part-timer.
[04:20] Fukuda
    Anyway, you better show up at the reunion.
[04:23] Fukuda
    It's going to be the usual crew.
[04:25] Fukuda
    Morinome Shinako will be there, too.
[04:31] Fukuda
    Should I not have mentioned her?
[04:33] Rikuo
    It's fine, really.
[04:35] Rikuo
    But wasn't she in Kanazawa?
[04:38] Fukuda
    No, I heard she transferred
    to a high school here.
[04:43] Fukuda
    I've been meaning to ask...
[04:46] Fukuda
    Were you two dating?
[04:49] Rikuo
    No.
[04:50] Fukuda
    Oh, really?
[04:52] Fukuda
    You two were always together, so...
[04:54] Fukuda
    Well, that's a surprise.
[04:56] Fukuda
    Friends, huh?
[04:58] Fukuda
    Just friends.
[05:01] Haru
    'Sup, Rikuo?
[05:04] Rikuo
    You again?
[05:05] Haru
    Hey, doesn't my voice sound weird?
[05:08] Kinoshita
    You're as energetic as ever, Haru-chan.
[05:10] Haru
    Kinoshita-san.
[05:12] Haru
    My throat's messed up from karaoke.
[05:15] Kinoshita
    Let's go together sometime.
[05:17] Haru
    Sure!
[05:18] Haru
    If you're paying.
[05:20] Haru
    Oh, I have to go to work.
[05:22] Haru
    I just wanted to swing by to say hi.
[05:25] Haru
    See you.
[05:26] Kinoshita
    Later.
[05:28] Kinoshita
    I wish Haru-chan would come every day.
[05:30] Rikuo
    She's kind of eccentric, isn't she?
[05:33] Rikuo
    She walks around with a crow.
[05:34] Rikuo
    Who does that?
[05:36] Kinoshita
    You idiot.
[05:37] Kinoshita
    Cute girls are allowed to do anything.
[05:40] Rikuo
    Is that really how it is?
[05:42] Kinoshita
    That's really how it is.
[05:47] Kinoshita
    Are you not into younger girls?
[05:49] Shinako
    Uozumi-kun.
[05:50] Rikuo
    Yes? Welcome.
[05:54] Shinako
    Long time no see.
[05:56] Rikuo
    Shi— nako!
[05:58] Shinako
    These are leftovers from today's reunion.
[06:02] Shinako
    Have you been eating
    right while I was away?
[06:04] Rikuo
    Huh? Well...
[06:08] Rikuo
    Welcome.
[06:09] Shinako
    You seem busy.
[06:11] Shinako
    I'll be at the family restaurant
    on Kannana Avenue.
[06:13] Shinako
    Stop by when you're done here.
[06:20] Kinoshita
    Who was that really pretty lady?
[06:22] Kinoshita
    What is she to you?!
[06:23] Rikuo
    Later.
[06:26] Rikuo
    So you were only working
    there for three months?
[06:30] Shinako
    Yeah.
[06:31] Shinako
    I found a job at a high school right after.
[06:34] Shinako
    You sure haven't changed, have you?
[06:36] Rikuo
    People don't really change
    in half a year, do they?
[06:40] Shinako
    I'm kind of relieved.
[06:43] Rikuo
    It had been a while since I saw Shinako.
[06:46] Rikuo
    She hadn't changed.
[06:48] (Flashback) Shinako
    Isn't there anything you
    want to do, Uozumi-kun?
[06:51] (Flashback) Shinako
    I want to become a teacher.
[06:55] (Flashback) Shinako
    Uozumi-kun, you shouldn't be skipping class.
[06:58] Rikuo
    Shinako was caring.
[07:01] Shinako
    You still ride your bike everywhere, huh?
[07:04] Rikuo
    Well, sorry for not driving.
[07:06] Shinako
    I wasn't expecting you to.
[07:09] Shinako
    Remember how we used to walk here
    late at night when we were students?
[07:14] Rikuo
    Oh, yeah, I remember now.
[07:16] Rikuo
    Aimless conversation.
[07:17] Rikuo
    We went drinking and missed the last train.
[07:19] Shinako
    We were so young.
[07:20] Rikuo
    I don't know if she knew I had feelings for
    her or not, but she had her guard down.
[07:26] Rikuo
    I guess I'm what the world
    would call a failure.
[07:35] Shinako
    Having seen you as a student,
[07:38] ---
    I can't picture you working
    your ass off in a suit.
[07:42] Rikuo
    I can't compete with Shinako.
[07:46] Shinako
    That's why...
[07:48] ---
    you give the impression of someone
    who needs to be taken care of.
[07:52] Rikuo
    That might be...
[07:54] ---
    why I like her.
[07:59] Shinako
    This is my place.
[08:00] Shinako
    Thanks for walking me home.
[08:02] Shinako
    See you.
[08:03] Rikuo
    Hey, Shinako...
[08:07] Rikuo
    You should drop by again.
[08:09] Shinako
    Yeah, I should.
[08:12] Kinoshita
    Uozumi, here.
[08:15] Rikuo
    What's this?
[08:16] Kinoshita
    My band's releasing a CD.
[08:18] Kinoshita
    We need a photo for the jacket.
[08:21] Rikuo
    What? I'm not that good...
[08:24] Kinoshita
    It's fine. We're amateurs, too.
[08:27] Kinoshita
    Cool, thank you.
[08:29] Rikuo
    I never said I could do it...
[08:35] Rikuo
    Music, huh?
[08:37] Rikuo
    I wonder if I would've
    turned out differently
[08:39] ---
    if I'd gotten into something like that.
[08:47] Rikuo
    Huh?
[08:48] Rikuo
    Isn't that...
[08:49] Haru
    Whoa.
[08:51] Haru
    It's Rikuo.
[08:53] Rikuo
    What are you up to?
[08:54] Haru
    Taking a walk with Kansuke.
[08:56] Haru
    He's got a bad leg.
[08:59] Haru
    Come on, we should sit down
    if we're going to talk.
[09:02] Rikuo
    Hey!
[09:04] Rikuo
    Why am I doing this?
[09:07] Haru
    Go have fun.
[09:09] Rikuo
    So...
[09:11] Rikuo
    Doesn't your family say anything
    about you walking around with a crow?
[09:15] Haru
    I have no family.
[09:17] Rikuo
    You live alone?
[09:18] Haru
    That's right.
[09:19] Haru
    Kansuke's my only family.
[09:22] Rikuo
    Yeah?
[09:24] Haru
    Can I have one?
[09:27] Rikuo
    You're in high school, aren't you?
[09:29] Haru
    I go to Tokyo University.
[09:30] Rikuo
    You're messing with me.
[09:34] Haru
    I go to that store so I can
    see you, you know.
[09:37] Rikuo
    Why, thank you.
[09:40] Haru
    You don't seem very appreciative.
[09:43] Rikuo
    I'm not such a dunce that I like being
    followed around by some random chick.
[09:49] Haru
    Wow, you're pretty humble for someone
[09:53] ---
    who's being hit on by a
    mysterious, pretty girl like me.
[09:57] Haru
    I've known about you for a
    long time, though, Rikuo.
[10:04] Rikuo
    Say what? Since when?
[10:09] Haru
    You might know who I am
    if you had good memory.
[10:14] Rikuo
    Unfortunately, I have too many things
    that I'd rather not remember.
[10:21] Haru
    That snowy day five years ago.
[10:23] Haru
    That was when we first met.
[10:26] Haru
    You really don't remember?
SIGN    Sing "Yesterday" for Me
[10:37] Haru
    Heyo, young laborers.
[10:41] Haru
    Are you working hard?
[10:43] Kinoshita
    You're as energetic as ever.
[10:45] Haru
    Huh? Where's Rikuo?
[10:47] Kinoshita
    He left just now after a
    mystery beauty showed up.
[10:52] Haru
    Yeah?
[10:55] Rikuo
    Are you heading home from school today?
[10:57] Shinako
    Yeah.
[10:57] Shinako
    One of my students wanted to
    discuss something with me.
[11:00] Shinako
    Things are complicated.
[11:02] Rikuo
    Yeah?
[11:03] Haru
    Rikuo!
[11:05] Haru
    I finally caught you red-handed!
[11:06] Haru
    You're awful! You've been
    lying to me this whole time!
[11:09] Rikuo
    H-Haru!
[11:11] Haru
    I just watched a drama where a woman
    caught her SO cheating on her,
[11:15] Haru
    and she said that.
[11:16] Rikuo
    S-Stop it!
[11:18] Rikuo
    You're going to give her the wrong idea!
[11:20] Haru
    Hey, hello there. Nice to meet you.
[11:27] Haru
    And with that, I'd better get going.
[11:30] Shinako
    Nonaka-san!
[11:34] Shinako
    Wait, Nonaka-san.
[11:36] Rikuo
    No... Nonaka?
[11:43] Haru
    Oh, wow, it's you, Sensei.
[11:48] Haru
    You surprised me. Jeez.
[11:50] Shinako
    Nonaka-san, what are you up to now?
[11:54] Haru
    Nothing, really.
[11:56] Haru
    I make a living working part-time.
[11:58] Haru
    It shouldn't matter to you, Sensei.
[12:06] Shinako
    You're right.
[12:09] Shinako
    I still regret what happened.
[12:13] Shinako
    I'm sorry.
[12:18] Haru
    Oh, come on.
[12:19] Haru
    It's not like I quit school
    because I got fed up.
[12:23] Haru
    It's not your fault.
[12:26] Haru
    So anyway, pardon me.
[12:33] Shinako
    She was a student in my class.
[12:37] Shinako
    The school found out that she
    worked at a bar type of place.
[12:41] Shinako
    She got suspended.
[12:43] Rikuo
    Well, of course, if she was
    working at a place like that.
[12:47] Rikuo
    But she's doing well now.
[12:50] Rikuo
    There isn't anything to worry about, is there?
[12:56] Shinako
    She's...
[12:58] ---
    a little weird, but she's a good girl.
[13:01] Shinako
    Be good to her.
[13:06] Shinako
    What's wrong?
[13:09] Shinako
    Okay, thanks for walking me home.
[13:13] Rikuo
    Goodnight.
[13:26] Rikuo
    Haru!
[13:26] Haru
    What are you sighing for?
[13:29] Rikuo
    I thought you went home.
[13:31] Haru
    She left without a hint of hesitation.
[13:34] Haru
    I guess she doesn't like you back, huh?
[13:36] Rikuo
    Wh—
[13:38] Haru
    I see how it is.
[13:40] Rikuo
    What's your deal?
[13:41] Haru
    A lady friend from when
    you were students, huh?
[13:44] Haru
    No wonder you're so cautious.
[13:46] Haru
    You could end up losing
    all your mutual friends.
[13:50] Rikuo
    Wh-What would you know?
[13:52] Haru
    Don't worry, though. You'll be okay.
[13:55] Haru
    As long as you back down peacefully
    if you do crash and burn.
[13:57] Haru
    Shinako-sensei's really nice. It'll be fine.
[14:01] Haru
    She'll stay friends with you
    as if nothing had happened.
[14:05] Haru
    Probably.
[14:07] Rikuo
    You're like a demon.
[14:19] Rikuo
    Oh, yeah.
[14:20] Rikuo
    That thing you said about
    having met me before...
[14:25] Rikuo
    I still can't recall.
[14:27] Haru
    It's because I changed.
[14:33] (Flashback) Rikuo
    Oh, shit!
[14:39] (Flashback) Haru
    You dropped this.
[14:44] (Flashback) Rikuo
    That's the most important thing I have.
[14:48] (Flashback) Rikuo
    Thanks.
[14:54] Rikuo
    Right.
[14:55] Rikuo
    That was you.
[14:56] Haru
    You'd better thank me.
[14:58] Haru
    Relationships are just illusions.
[15:02] Haru
    I knew that.
[15:04] Haru
    Yet that's how I spent five years.
[15:09] Haru
    I'm so stupid.
[15:13] Haru
    I'm kidding!
[15:14] Haru
    That last half was a lie. A big, fat lie.
[15:16] Haru
    Why would I have?
[15:17] Haru
    I'm serious. It really was a joke!
[15:19] Haru
    Bye!
[15:21] Rikuo
    I'm so confused.
[15:32] Kinoshita
    That mystery beauty was here yesterday.
[15:34] Rikuo
    Huh?
[15:36] ---
    Oh... I got a call last night.
[15:38] Kinoshita
    I don't get how you're so damn popular.
[15:41] Kinoshita
    Teach me your secret ways.
[15:43] Rikuo
    I'm not that popular.
[15:45] Rikuo
    She only sees me as a friend.
[15:49] Kinoshita
    You like her, don't you?
[15:50] Rikuo
    I do.
[15:52] Rikuo
    But, I mean...
[15:54] Rikuo
    I feel like things are fine the way they are.
[15:57] Rikuo
    I'm jobless,
[16:00] Rikuo
    and she's a proper high school teacher.
[16:02] Rikuo
    I guess I admire her.
[16:04] Rikuo
    And that might go away if we started dating.
[16:08] Kinoshita
    Say what?
[16:09] Kinoshita
    You're not making sense to me.
[16:11] Rikuo
    I'm not trying to make sense to you.
[16:16] Kinoshita
    You seem pretty evasive about life.
[16:19] Kinoshita
    Do you think you'd look
    dumb if you were a tryhard?
[16:23] Kinoshita
    You're just being self-deprecating to
    give yourself a way out, aren't you?
[16:27] Kinoshita
    So that you won't get hurt,
    no matter where the chips fall.
[16:34] (Flashback) Kinoshita
    Nah.
[16:36] (Flashback) Kinoshita
    I'm not one to talk.
[16:38] (Flashback) Kinoshita
    I'm using music as an excuse
    not to have a proper job.
[16:43] Rikuo
    I have nothing to say when
    people show me their optimism.
[16:50] Rikuo
    And that's because I'm
    an outcast from society.
[16:54] Rikuo
    I don't feel qualified to talk about
    people who are working hard at something.
[17:01] Rikuo
    Is that why I'm being self-deprecating?
[17:05] Rikuo
    No, actually, I'm just high on the phrase
[17:10] ---
    "outcast from society."
[17:13] Rikuo
    Rather than find a career,
[17:15] Rikuo
    rather than confess to my crush,
[17:18] Rikuo
    rather than arrive at some
    outcome and be hurt,
[17:21] ---
    I'm just keeping the outcome vague
    so I can keep up appearances.
[17:34] Shinako
    What's up, Uozumi-kun?
[17:36] Rikuo
    Sorry to call you out so late at night.
[17:39] Shinako
    Want to go to a family
    restaurant or something?
[17:41] Rikuo
    Nah.
[17:43] ---
    Here's fine.
[17:47] Shinako
    Okay.
[17:51] Rikuo
    I've been wanting to say this for a while.
[17:56] Rikuo
    I like you.
[18:00] Shinako
    I like you, too.
[18:02] Rikuo
    I don't mean it like that.
[18:04] Rikuo
    I mean, seriously.
[18:06] Rikuo
    You might think, "Why is he
    telling me this after all this time?"
[18:09] Rikuo
    I mean, I think that, too, but...
[18:12] Rikuo
    And I know I look stupid if I say
    this at the wrong time, but...
[18:27] Shinako
    Can we not stay friends?
[18:31] Shinako
    Sorry.
[18:34] Rikuo
    It's fine.
[18:35] Rikuo
    I just wanted some closure
    for myself. That's all.
[18:40] Rikuo
    That's all I wanted to say.
[18:41] Rikuo
    Later.
[18:46] Rikuo
    Buck up, damn it!
[18:48] Rikuo
    I was supposed get rejected
    on graduation day.
[18:50] Rikuo
    I just let it linger until today.
[18:59] Rikuo
    Everything's fine.
[19:03] Rikuo
    This is fine.
[19:06] Rikuo
    Damn it! I want to quit life!
[19:18] Rikuo
    The weather's so nice.
[19:21] Rikuo
    Maybe I'll go take that
    photo Kinoshita-san wanted.
[19:29] Rikuo
    Being at the park doesn't help.
[19:32] Rikuo
    This place doesn't exactly have punk vibes.
[19:35] Haru
    Can I have a cigarette?
[19:38] Rikuo
    Haru.
[19:39] Haru
    'Sup?
[19:42] Haru
    What happened to your forehead?
[19:46] Rikuo
    I just had my book closed on
    what you called an illusion,
[19:51] Rikuo
    then I fell off my bicycle.
[19:53] Rikuo
    I attempted a so-called
    "personal transformation."
[19:57] Rikuo
    I tried confronting the lies I tell myself.
[20:00] Rikuo
    I thought, hey, let's see what happens, and...
[20:05] Rikuo
    Nothing happened.
[20:07] Rikuo
    I'm stuck right where I've always been.
[20:11] Rikuo
    I'm kinda sick of myself right now.
[20:14] Haru
    I admire you.
[20:18] Haru
    People hate liars, but people like them.
[20:23] Haru
    You lie, you play along with what
    people say, and live a BS life.
[20:29] Haru
    You have nothing to hurt
    people or to be hurt by.
[20:33] Haru
    You become worthless.
[20:35] Haru
    And you become sick of
    being with other people.
[20:39] Haru
    That's basically why I quit school, too.
[20:45] Haru
    Liars don't lose anything,
[20:49] ---
    but they don't gain anything, either.
[20:52] Rikuo
    This kid's the same as me.
[20:55] Haru
    I'm a liar,
[20:58] ---
    but for the first time, I wanted to be liked.
[21:01] Haru
    Maybe I'm out of places to escape to.
[21:08] Haru
    Well, then...
[21:09] Haru
    Hey, you have a nice camera!
[21:12] Rikuo
    Yeah, it's a hobby.
[21:15] Rikuo
    Oh, I know. Let me take your photo.
[21:18] Rikuo
    Why not?
[21:19] Rikuo
    It'll be for a CD jacket.
[21:21] Rikuo
    For an amateur band.
[21:22] ---
    H-Huh?
[21:25] Haru
    Do I just stay here?
[21:27] Rikuo
    Yeah.
[21:28] Rikuo
    Stand there.
[21:29] Rikuo
    Be casual.
[21:30] Haru
    This is so half-assed.
[21:34] Haru
    Okay, this is totally basic, but...
