[01:31] Buchio
I've never gone this way before!
[01:34] Wagen
Really? How about the ocean?
[01:36] Buchio
I have seen that a few times.
[01:39] Buchio
It still surprises me
every time. It's so big.
[01:43] Wagen
Beautiful, too.
[01:45] Wagen
Oh...
[01:46] Wagen
There's an umibozu.
[01:49] Buchio
Wow!
[01:57] Buchio
Thank you for inviting me out on this drive.
[02:00] Wagen
Don't mention it.
[02:01] Wagen
We'll say it was to commemorate
both of us getting our licenses.
[02:06] Wagen
By the way...
[02:08] Wagen
You and I... are friends now, right?
[02:11] Buchio
Huh?
[02:12] Buchio
Yes. We're friends.
[02:15] Wagen
So now that we're friends,
why don't we speak more casually?
[02:19] Buchio
Huh?!
[02:21] Buchio
But I even speak like this to my family.
[02:24] Buchio
I don't know if I can change it...
[02:27] Buchio
But it's not that I want
to keep you at a distance!
[02:31] Wagen
So it's just a habit, huh?
[02:33] Wagen
In that case, I'll just tone down
the formality myself.
[02:37] Buchio
Let's do that, please?
[02:39] Wagen
So, anything else you want to eat?
[02:42] Buchio
Well, let's see...
[02:44] Buchio
Oh, I've never had gohei
mochi before. I'll have that.
[02:48] Wagen
I think I'll get ramen.
[02:50] Wagen
I love tonkotsu!
[02:59] Buchio
I've never walked on a sandy beach before!
[03:02] Wagen
You're not cold?
[03:03] Buchio
I'm just fine!
[03:05] Buchio
Oh, that umibozu is so far away now.
[03:10] Wagen
They say when a deitarabocchi that's spent
the summer traveling all around Japan
[03:13] Wagen
returns to the sea,
it's then called an umibozu.
[03:18] Buchio
The weather forecaster
on TV said the same thing.
[03:22] Wagen
When you see one like this,
[03:24] Wagen
do you ever wonder,
"Can that really be a product of the weather?"
[03:31] Buchio
To me, it looks like it's playing.
[03:35] Wagen
Me, too.
[03:41] Wagen
It makes me start to think about
where the soul really dwells.
[03:48] Buchio
I agree.
[03:53] Wagen
First time at a foot bath, too?
[03:54] Buchio
Yes!
[03:56] Wagen
This is actually Kazuhiko's favorite spot.
[03:59] Wagen
He used to visit all the time.
[04:00] Buchio
Oh, really?
[04:03] Wagen
Before I was reborn,
[04:05] Wagen
he always came here
with his wife, Namiko-san.
[04:09] Wagen
I'd watch from the parking
lot as they used the foot bath.
[04:15] Wagen
They always looked so happy.
[04:18] Wagen
But...
[04:20] Wagen
Since he lost Namiko-san,
Kazuhiko-san has... changed somehow.
[04:27] Wagen
I understand all too well
how hard it is for him.
[04:31] Wagen
So I'm sure it just can't be helped, but...
[04:35] Wagen
It feels like he isn't really
living in the present.
[04:39] Wagen
He only thinks about what's ahead.
[04:43] Wagen
Like, he worries about what'll
happen to me after he dies.
[04:48] Wagen
I realize we have
different lifespans, but...
[04:54] Wagen
Sorry! It probably sounds
like I'm complaining...
[04:58] Buchio
No, it's all right.
[05:02] Buchio
Dying before me...
[05:06] Buchio
I wonder if my family has the same thoughts.
SIGN Fried Skewers
[05:14] Benmaru
Hey, you're here.
[05:15] Yuri
Yo.
[05:16] Yasu
Heya!
[05:17] Buchio
Good evening.
[05:18] Taira
Hey, Yurippe, you're already here?
[05:21] Yuri
Had a real hankering for
fried skewers, I guess.
[05:24] Benmaru
What drink do you want, Buchio-san?
[05:27] Buchio
I'll start with beer.
[05:30] Taira
Jiro said he had stuff to do.
[05:32] Benmaru
What stuff?
[05:33] Taira
A meeting of the Tengu Association.
[05:36] Benmaru
I see.
[05:38] Taira
He was pretty bummed.
The skewers here are amazing.
[05:41] Buchio
I've never had fried skewers before.
[05:44] Yuri
We ordered the classics to start with.
[05:46] Yasu
Just remember, no double
dipping in the sauce.
[05:51] Buchio
It's delicious!
[05:53] Buchio
But... what is it?
[05:56] Taira
That one's gingko nuts.
[05:57] Buchio
Wow.
[05:58] Yasu
The king trumpet mushroom's good, too!
[06:00] Buchio
Oh, this one?
[06:01] Yasu
Yep, that's it!
[06:05] Yuri
Well?
[06:08] Yuri
I heard something was bothering you.
[06:11] Buchio
Huh?
[06:12] Benmaru
You've looked down every
time we've seen you lately.
[06:16] Benmaru
We were kinda worried.
[06:18] Benmaru
Maybe that was insensitive.
[06:21] Buchio
I'm sorry.
[06:22] Yuri
You're kind of an open book, y'know.
[06:25] Yuri
Something wrong?
[06:30] Buchio
Actually...
[06:34] Taira
Ah, I get it.
[06:37] Taira
Different lifespans, huh?
[06:40] Benmaru
That is a pretty sensitive subject.
[06:42] Buchio
I guess it is, isn't it?
[06:45] Taira
It's one thing it if's two humans or
two long-lived types discussing it, but...
[06:51] Buchio
When I turned from a cat into a nekomata...
[06:55] Buchio
In my head, at least, I knew I'd turned
into a yokai that will outlive humans.
[07:01] Buchio
I knew it, but...
[07:03] Buchio
When I think about my
family dying before me,
[07:07] Buchio
I suddenly feel so scared.
[07:10] Buchio
And I can't talk to them about it...
[07:13] Buchio
Do all of you...
[07:15] Yuri
It's not like that for me.
[07:17] Yuri
Bakegitsune don't live long lives.
[07:20] Yuri
Apparently our ancestors way back used to,
[07:23] Yuri
but now, we live about
as long as most humans.
[07:25] Yasu
There are a lot of yokai
like that, actually.
[07:28] Yasu
Like us okuri-itachi, too.
[07:32] Benmaru
I've experienced the fear you're feeling,
[07:37] Benmaru
so I understand.
[07:39] Benmaru
When you think about
the differences in our lifespans,
[07:41] Benmaru
it makes everyone view how they interact
with humans and yokai differently.
[07:47] Benmaru
Some avoid relationships altogether
[07:50] Benmaru
to avoid that fear, or because they
think it's better for both sides.
[07:55] Benmaru
I think what will resolve
the concerns you have
[07:59] Benmaru
depends on what it is you,
yourself, want to do.
[08:04] Taira
But you know...
[08:05] Taira
Regardless of the
lifespans we start out with,
[08:08] Taira
there's no way to really know
when anyone will die.
[08:12] Taira
So maybe there's no need to
think too much about it right now...
[08:15] Taira
at least, that's what I think.
[08:18] Taira
Sorry.
[08:20] Yasu
It's a tough one...
[08:23] Yasu
Wanna order some skewers?
[08:25] Buchio
Okay.
[08:27] Buchio
What it is I want to do, huh?
[08:30] Buchio
I wonder what Wagen-san thinks...
[08:35] Kazuhiko
Morning, Chiaki.
[08:37] Wagen
Morning.
[08:38] Kazuhiko
Wait, what's today again?
[08:41] Wagen
It's Saturday.
[08:43] Kazuhiko
Oh, shoot. I skipped breakfast duty.
[08:47] Wagen
It's fine. You can just do it tomorrow.
[08:49] Kazuhiko
Sorry about that.
[08:54] Kazuhiko
Good morning, Nami-chan.
[08:58] Wagen
Kazuhiko-san and Namiko-san
[09:01] Wagen
started out as childhood friends.
[09:11] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
You have really pretty eyes, Nami-chan.
[09:16] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
I heard they call that color "emerald."
[09:20] (Flashback) Namiko
Thanks...
[09:24] (Flashback) Namiko
They told me it's genetic.
[09:27] (Flashback) Namiko
See that plant in the garden?
[09:30] (Flashback) Namiko
They said my great-great-great-grandpa
was a basho-no-sei.
[09:36] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Basho...
SIGN fs20\bord2\i1\3c&HF2F3F5&\c&H657385&}Musa basjoo*
Basho (Japanese Banana Plant)
Basho is a relative of bananas!
[09:44] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
So it's the personification of a banana?
[09:49] Wagen
When they were both thirteen years old,
[09:51] Wagen
Namiko-san's parents divorced,
[09:54] Wagen
and she moved away to live with her mother.
SIGN Blue
Mountains
[09:59] Wagen
They didn't meet again
until they were both nineteen.
[10:07] (Flashback) Yokai
I guess we just weren't a match.
[10:10] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
I guess not.
[10:13] (Flashback) Namiko
Are the people behind me... breaking up?
[10:27] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Nami-chan?!
[10:28] (Flashback) Namiko
Kazu-kun! It's been so long!
[10:31] (Flashback) Namiko
Did you just... get dumped?
[10:33] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Yeah...
[10:36] Wagen
As the two of them talked for a while,
[10:39] Wagen
they realized they shared
the same values and sensibilities.
[10:43] Wagen
Over time, they became best friends.
[10:48] Wagen
Then, a year after their reunion...
[10:52] Wagen
That was when we met.
[10:58] Wagen
That first drive the three
of us took together...
[11:01] Wagen
I'll never forget how
beautiful the ocean looked.
[11:07] (Flashback) Namiko
I haven't seen the ocean in so long!
[11:09] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
It's really pretty.
[11:12] (Flashback) Namiko
Remember what I told you before?
[11:14] (Flashback) Namiko
I want to live my own way as much as I can.
[11:18] (Flashback) Namiko
I want to die alongside nature,
without fighting it.
[11:23] (Flashback) Namiko
I don't particularly want to
get married or have children,
[11:27] (Flashback) Namiko
but I do want to be... with you, I guess.
[11:33] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
I want to be with you, too.
In fact, I'd love to call you my wife.
[11:39] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Or maybe I should say "with you forever"?
[11:44] (Flashback) Namiko
Don't call me your wife!
[11:46] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Ow, ow! That hurts!
[11:51] Wagen
I was so happy that I got to be
with the two of them, too.
[11:58] Wagen
When they were both sixty...
[12:01] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Morning, Nami-chan.
[12:05] (Flashback) Namiko
Kazu-kun... What is happening to me?
[12:13] (Flashback) Doctor
Most of her organs, including her skin,
are ceasing to function.
[12:18] (Flashback) Doctor
Apparently it's because she descends
from a basho-no-sei,
[12:21] (Flashback) Doctor
so I think it's fair
to call this a genetic illness.
[12:24] (Flashback) Doctor
When the original basho plant withers,
[12:27] (Flashback) Doctor
so does the spirit.
[12:29] (Flashback) Doctor
Its original, ancient
characteristics have manifested.
[12:34] (Flashback) Doctor
The only treatment I can offer
[12:36] (Flashback) Doctor
is medication to slow
the progression of symptoms.
[12:45] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
I went to visit your old family home,
[12:48] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
and the basho was...
[12:51] (Flashback) Namiko
I see.
[12:53] (Flashback) Namiko
You can tell what I'm thinking, can't you?
[13:00] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Yeah.
[13:04] (Flashback) Namiko
All I want is to live as I am
and die as I am.
[13:09] (Flashback) Namiko
Withering away is the right thing for me,
[13:11] (Flashback) Namiko
not extending my life with medication.
[13:14] (Flashback) Namiko
I never produced a single seed...
[13:18] (Flashback) Namiko
But I'd like you to stay
with me until I return to the earth.
[13:23] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
I know.
[13:26] (Flashback) Namiko
And after that, you can call me your wife.
[13:31] (Flashback) Kazuhiko
Okay...
[13:35] Wagen
I didn't see Namiko-san
in her final moments.
[13:42] Wagen
But...
[13:43] Wagen
Kazuhiko-san told me that she
looked happy when she passed.
[13:50] Wagen
I just hope I can share
Kazuhiko-san's sadness from now on,
[13:55] Wagen
little by little.
[14:02] Jiro
Oh, Mu-chan.
[14:04] Jiro
Hello.
[14:06] Mutsumi
Hi.
[14:07] Mutsumi
I came with my uncle today.
[14:09] Mutsumi
You're gonna get some fish from him.
[14:11] Jiro
Oh, really?
[14:13] Mutsumi
Is that for the barrier?
[14:16] Jiro
Yeah. Preparation for it, I guess.
[14:19] Jiro
Sort of a dry run.
[14:22] Jiro
I want to make the next barrier
thicker, so I'm testing this out.
[14:28] Mutsumi
Hmm...
[14:35] Mutsumi
Because it was thin enough
that I could break it?
[14:39] Jiro
It's not your fault, Mu-chan.
[14:47] Jiro
Mu-chan, are you angry?
[14:51] Mutsumi
Not! At! All!
[14:56] Mutsumi
Hey, Jiro.
[15:00] Mutsumi
Remember when you said,
"I'll remember all of it"?
[15:04] Mutsumi
Do you remember all that's
happened already, too?
[15:08] Jiro
You mean what I said at the great cedar?
[15:10] Mutsumi
Yeah.
[15:12] Jiro
Well, yeah. I do.
[15:14] Mutsumi
Like your memories?
[15:16] Jiro
Yeah, that's it.
[15:17] Jiro
Like all the people in town,
and stuff from pretty long ago.
[15:22] Mutsumi
How about when my grandma was a little girl?
[15:24] Jiro
I do remember that.
SIGN Jiro falling into a pitfall
[15:26] Jiro
Kozue-san was quite the little prankster.
SIGN With cow dung in it
[15:30] Mutsumi
Really?! That's surprising!
[15:32] Jiro
Her mother often scolded her for it...
[15:37] Mutsumi
My grandma's mother would be...
my great-grandma, right?
[15:42] Mutsumi
Hey, Jiro...
[15:44] Jiro
Sorry. I need to go look
around in storage for some wire.
[15:49] Jiro
It's cold out, so you can stay in the house.
[16:03] (Flashback) VillagerA
I found him! Over here!
[16:05] (Flashback) VillagerB
You alive?!
[16:06] (Flashback) VillagerC
Hey!
[16:07] (Flashback) VillagerA
Jiro-san!
[16:08] (Flashback) VillagerB
It's not bad, is it?
[16:10] (Flashback) Haru
Jiro..
[16:13] (Flashback) Haru
Are you okay?
[16:17] (Flashback) Jiro
Haru-chan...
[16:25] (Flashback) Haru
Jiro! Look at this!
[16:29] (Flashback) Haru
I picked raspberries.
[16:32] (Flashback) Haru
Eat them with me!
[16:55] Jiro
Darn it.
SIGN Betobeto Kobayashi
SIGN Heya!
SIGN Are you free this evening?
SIGN Want to go out for drinks
like we used to?
[17:04] Jiro
Well?
[17:05] Benmaru
Hmm?
[17:06] Jiro
Was there something you
wanted to talk about?
[17:09] Benmaru
Nah, I just wanted to drink
with you again. It's been a long time.
[17:13] Jiro
Okay, then.
[17:15] Benmaru
You know, the last time our group went
out drinking, Buchio-san was there.
[17:20] Benmaru
He had some worries.
[17:21] Jiro
Worries?
[17:23] Benmaru
That tough subject all
of us face sooner or later.
[17:27] Jiro
I see.
[17:29] Benmaru
I'd like to cheer him up,
[17:32] Benmaru
but that alone won't really help him.
[17:38] Jiro
Yeah. He must be really scared right now.
[17:55] Benmaru
I told you there was nothing
I wanted to talk about,
[17:58] Benmaru
but I guess I might want to talk
about you and your future.
[18:02] Jiro
My future?
[18:04] Benmaru
I mean, you hardly ever talk
about yourself, let alone the future.
[18:11] Benmaru
You must be carrying countless
thoughts and feelings deep inside.
[18:17] Benmaru
I'm worried you might sink
into the depths of loneliness.
[18:29] Benmaru
So I think it'd be nice if, someday,
[18:33] Benmaru
we can talk about the future
with cheerful hearts.
[18:38] Benmaru
Am I overstepping?
[18:40] Jiro
Not at all.
[18:42] Jiro
It reminds me that I'm not alone.
[18:45] Jiro
Sorry.
[18:49] Benmaru
I'd rather you didn't apologize.
[18:58] Mutsumi
Chiyo-chan!
[18:59] Hayachiyo
Oh, Mu-chan.
[19:05] Mutsumi
Hey, Chiyo-chan...
[19:06] Hayachiyo
Yes?
[19:08] Mutsumi
Do you have... anyone you love?
[19:11] Hayachiyo
Oh? What brought this on?
[19:16] Mutsumi
I dunno, I just... felt
like talking about romance.
[19:20] Hayachiyo
I see.
[19:22] Hayachiyo
And who is the one you love?
[19:24] Mutsumi
Jiro.
[19:25] Mutsumi
It's Jiro, but... right now...
[19:30] Mutsumi
I love him, but... it's not like... hrrngh.
[19:34] Mutsumi
Now it's more like... hrg.
[19:38] Mutsumi
When I watch Jiro, my chest sort of...
[19:42] Mutsumi
tenses up, like it does when I feel sad.
[19:46] Mutsumi
I love him, and I want to protect him,
[19:50] Mutsumi
but I...
[20:01] Hayachiyo
Mu-chan, you and Jiro-sama
are very important to me.
[20:08] Hayachiyo
I simply want the two of you
to be in good health.
[20:11] Hayachiyo
So if you are ever troubled,
please call upon me.
[20:16] Hayachiyo
It will be all right.
[20:21] Mutsumi
Hearing you tell me it'll
be okay is a huge relief!
[20:25] Hayachiyo
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
[20:28] Mutsumi
Anyway! Tell me who you love!
[20:36] Hayachiyo
That is a secret.
[20:37] Mutsumi
Aw!
[20:40] Sanae
Mutsumi, hurry up and take your bath.
[20:43] Mutsumi
Okay.
[20:52] Kozue
Here, Mu-chan. I washed your pajamas.
[20:56] Mutsumi
Grandma, tell me something.
[20:59] Mutsumi
Is my great-grandma in these pictures?
[21:02] Kozue
No, she isn't in any of these. Why?
[21:06] Mutsumi
Jiro was talking about her.
[21:08] Kozue
Was he, now?
[21:10] Mutsumi
He said she scolded you a lot because
you were always playing pranks.
[21:18] Kozue
Well, you see...
[21:20] Kozue
Your great-grandma didn't
like cameras very much,
[21:23] Kozue
so there aren't many pictures of her.
[21:27] Kozue
But look here.
[21:29] Kozue
This is the only one.
[21:33] Kozue
This lady is your great-grandma.
[21:36] Mutsumi
She's so young. There's
nothing "grandma" about her.
[21:39] Kozue
That's true.
[21:41] Kozue
You know, it was Jiro who took that photo.
[21:45] Mutsumi
Really?
[21:46] Kozue
Yes.
[21:47] Kozue
She was saying he made
her model for the camera.
[22:07] Jiro
I'm sorry.
