This. Isn't this my design?

I beg you.

Your ideas, what's in your head, give it all to me.

This was for my collection.

What's wrong, Soramame? Are you okay?

I'm sorry. I want to talk to Oto.

Okay.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Is the meeting over? - Yeah.

Huh... what could it be?

Huh?

Repeated calls from Soramame.

Oh, she also sent something to me.

Oh, what was it?

Something

about having a boyfriend.

What?

You know, she was close with Mr. Hazuki, right?

They've started seeing each other.

They look good together, don't they?

We're a lot alike, aren't we?

What?

We both were dumped.

Our mutual feelings weren't reciprocated.

You knew, didn't you?

You knew that I liked Soramame.

Yeah.

Oh.

Do you think I'm a creep?

Why?

No, not at all.

No, you do...

You're better off without me.

Right? I really am a creep, right?

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

Huh? Wait, is that girl just now crying?

What?

What's wrong?

Oto...

Oto and Seira...

It can't be helped.

They suit each other.

My collection,

Kuon ripped it off from me.

I was just at the studio and heard about it.

And so

I went looking for you.

I'm quitting Ander Sonia.

Oto left.

I've got nothing left.

Soramame-chan...

Hold my hand

at twilight

Episode 9

Can you please return Soramame-chan's designs?

What are you talking about?

There's no copyright on collection theme.

That's true, but

"Don't remember days, remember moments." That was

Soramame-chan's idea for her collection.

We've already made progress.

- Kaori. - Yes.

Starting tomorrow, you'll be chief. Chief pattern maker.

- What? - This guy's irritating.

Kuon.

I'm quitting, too.

- What? - I'll be

supporting Soramame Asagi!

Knock yourself out.

Quit!

This material.

I love it. I love it. I love it.

My excitement is off the charts!

It's really amazing!

What's this material? Wow, it's so beautiful!

Soramame-chan, can you get the hologram thingy out?

Ah, not there, it's over here.

This one. And hold that for me for a sec.

So, we make the body here,

and then we stack it like this.

No, this could blow up.

BPM... Beats Per Minute.

This outfit. It's brilliant.

Right? Right?

Seira, blue would look good on you.

- Really? - Yeah.

- This is really amazing. - Right?

- Yeah. - First time I've seen it.

It's even more beautiful in the light.

Indeed.

- Here. - Ah, thanks.

You okay?

Honestly, it's too hard.

Yeah.

Hey, for a change, why don't you and I go on a date?

- What? Are you serious? - I am.

I think you're pretty great.

No one dates someone just because they think they're pretty great.

I know, and that's what's great about you, Soramame-chan.

But...

that's what makes life so hard for you.

- Huh? - You're too serious.

People live their lives wavering, fooling themselves.

Listen, Soramame-chan.

I'm fully committed to supporting you both publicly and personally.

Well, I may not be talented enough,

but I have lived

a little longer than you do.

Well, I'm not trying to say anything,

but if you need me, just remember

that I'm always here for you.

Mr. Hazuki.

Do you say that to girls you think

are kind of great?

Maybe not just kind of,

maybe a lot better.

Oh, you're pretty slick, huh?

That's right. I'm pretty slick.

No time to be in love,

work only. Who said that?

That's right! Now we have to make BPM's TV outfit.

Then we do a separate collection for Miyo Yodobashi, Japan's Anna Wintour,

and we'll be unstoppable.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

I'm sorry. Barlows backed out.

What? Madam Yodobashi, it can't be!

Ander Sonia and Barlows have a deep relationship.

You two quit Kuon's, didn't you?

Barlows is not paying for Ms. Soramame's collection,

who revolted against Ander Sonia.

- No. What? - That's how the industry works.

Simply put, you two

lost your sponsor.

But if that's the case, you can do it.

You two can do your own collection.

But you're going to have to raise the money yourself.

By how much?

Well, I'd estimate at the very least,

five million.

Oh, five million...

That's impossible.

We'll be doing a lot of interviews ahead of the "CDTV Live! Live!"

After the TV, we'll put you in a magazine with your faces

on the shelves of convenience stores and bookstores,

and then release a new song right after that!

Oh, that's nice. Okay.

Let's take another one.

I'm terribly sorry.

We got Daimon Fujiwara.

What?

Daimon Fujiwara styled them for a music magazine interview,

and he totally took a liking to Beats Per Minute.

And he wants to style them, and wants to do it all the time, even exclusively.

Um, Daimon Fujiwara?

Our company's staking the fate on BPM.

So much that we're betting life on the line.

The higher-ups are weak to names,

because they lack taste, or ability,

or sense of discernment,

and so they are extremely weak to who's popular right now.

Besides, look at this.

The higher-ups agree that it's not a bad key visual.

Cool, huh...

Yeah.

There's nothing left.

BPM's outfits,

and even the collection,

I'm out of work...

Too early.

- Huh? - It's too early for you to give up.

You have a talent.

Even if you say that,

I'm at a dead end.

You think you have nobody in this industry to rely on?

Huh?

There is one, right? A very powerful one.

What? You mean Toko Asagi?

Yes!

It's the strongest card you were born with.

The daughter of Toko Asagi.

Why would you say that? Mrs. Kyoko, you know, don't you?

- That person abandoned me. - That is why.

She owes you that.

Maybe she could do something for you?

Maybe help you find another brand to work for,

or find a sponsor for your collection.

I'm impressed. No holds barred, are you?

You gotta be that, Soramame.

To be top-notch,

you have to be the real deal.

You're not giving up on fashion, are you?

Oto Umino

Huh?

Ah, hello?

Hello? It's Oto.

Ah, yes.

Hey,

you came to Universe today, didn't you?

Ah, about the outfits.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!

It's okay, it's okay.

I was going to do the BPM outfits for my own collection anyway.

Yeah.

I was trying to hit two birds with one stone. My bad.

Yeah.

Seira wants to apologize, too.

She's crying right now.

Is Seira okay?

Yes.

Please take care of Seira for me.

That girl tends to be a little unstable.

I'm worried about her.

I'm not by her side.

Yes, I know.

I was actually just about to call you, Oto.

What?

Listen...

Listen...

Toko Asagi...

My mom's...

...contact info, can you give it to me?

Ah...

Okay. Are you gonna call her?

No, I don't know yet.

I've got a screenshot of it. I'll send it to you later.

Okay. Thanks.

Same old you. Never meddle in anything.

Because Soramame, if you want to say it, you'll say it yourself, won't you?

Yeah, that's right.

By that time,

we couldn't talk casually anymore.

It's sad, and I miss him.

We both have changed.

Oto.

What is it?

Nothing.

What was that?

That quickly.

Soramame Asagi

What should I do...

Oto Umino You have a new message.

"Soramame,

I liked you.

I think I like you now and always will be."

Why are you saying that now?

Oto Umino You have a new message.

Oto Umino has unsent the message

What?

What was it?

What?

"Oto,

I... like you."

I'll wait until 9 p.m.

In that time, if Oto read it,

it's fate.

If he doesn't read it,

then that's our destiny.

♪ Just for today

♪ I just want to walk the same path

♪ I know

♪ I was watching from next to you., so, yes

- Lets take a break. - Okay.

Soramame Asagi You have a new message.

Soramame Asagi You have a new message.

Soramame Asagi has unsent the message

We both sent a message,

only to have it unsent.

Forever...

The messages swallowed up by the beautiful night,

gone forever.

Excuse me.

What do you want to drink?

Not what I expected it to be...

I thought it'd be an emotional reunion, like those in the movies or something.

I thought we'd hug and shed a tear or two.

You know,

I've always wondered.

You see that a lot in TV documentaries.

Those of parents and kids reunited after decades apart.

I mean, we are talking decades, right?

And suddenly an old lady they don't know appears before them

and hugs them.

Sorry, I guess this is impossible.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't able to be a good parent.

That's right. You chose the job over your own daughter.

What do you want to talk about?

Money. Borrow me some.

You feel guilty for abandoning me, right?

You've grown up quite well, haven't you?

As expected of my daughter.

I don't want to be called your daughter.

There's something I want to show you.

It's not bad.

"Don't remember days, remember moments."

Is that the collection theme?

It is.

It's beautiful.

"Don't remember days, remember moments."

Hibi o omoidasanaide shunkan o omoidashite

Don't remember the days,

remember the moments.

So cute. It looks good on you.

All right. I'll invest in you.

Really?

Let's do this collection.

- Let's do it? - In Paris.

- Huh? - Come with me to Paris.

I'm thinking of doing a second line on Colza.

I will let you do it.

- What? - When I saw

your ohajiki button dress, I was originally

going to scout you.

What?

What? Are you scared?

No way.

Let's set up a date for Paris Fashion Week.

What? Are you serious?

I know I wasn't able to be your mother,

but let me at least help you fulfill your dream.

Paris? You're going to Paris?

- Yeah. - Wow.

Wow, what a sudden turn of events.

Oh, sorry for intruding.

It's fine. It's fine. Handsome men are always welcome.

- Thank you. - Ah... Wait a minute.

It's a great deal and all.

Overall, it's a great talk, almost dream-like, a Cinderella story,

but, hello, what's gonna happen to me?

You're coming with me.

- What? Can I? - Yeah. Mom...

Toko Asagi has approved of it.

I thought the pattern maker should be someone who knows me well.

Wow, is this for real? Paris Fashion Week!

Good for you.

- Paris. - Paris.

Sometimes life unfolds at an unsteady pace,

no matter how stable it has been.

And so I thought at that time.

Maybe I got misguided,

maybe it was illogical,

but I thought

that this was how

my youth would end.

Ms. Soramame.

No, I was just passing by.

Mr. Kuon changed his collection theme.

What?

"Don't remember days, remember moments."

He said he's giving it back.

He said he's going to compete at Paris Fashion Week with a theme about dirt.

Dirt?

I tried calling you several times, but you never picked up.

I'm sorry. I blocked your calls and deleted your number.

That's so like you.

You see, it looks like my late mom.

What?

I know this is a Monet painting.

This boy here is me.

I always kept it in my mind

that I was going to put on my mom in a dress that I designed.

I looked at this painting,

and I thought my mom would be sad.

She would say,

"What are you doing stealing ideas from your assistants?"

And this one.

I looked at this couch.

Look, the cracked leather.

I thought it was cool.

It's worn out over time. Pretty cool, right?

That's how I got a new idea

for my new collection.

Staining the fabric by design.

Staining Ander Sonia's dress by design.

Wow, that sounds fantastic.

I see.

Going to Paris, huh?

Yes.

Good luck.

Thank you very much.

You... you're going to Paris, huh?

You did it.

I'll Sure I'll Cry

Unit in the spotlight

First TV performance tonight!

I held tightly so I wouldn't let go

I engraved it so I wouldn't forget

Congratulations.

I murmured congratulations to him.

I don't know why. He seemed so far away.

Appearing on TV,

he was out of touch...

- Send-off party? - Yeah, before you go to Paris,

I invited everyone. Hiroshi, Chiharu-chan, and even Oto.

- Wait, Oto? You called him? - Yeah.

Yeah, he said he's coming, Mrs. Kyoko's got some skills.

I was thinking of making chirashizushi.

- Yeah. What do you think? - Ah, yes.

I'm home. Mrs. Kyoko, I got the champagne you mentioned.

It wasn't easy to find... one...

Huh?

Huh?

Why are there two?

Huh?

She set me up.

What do you think?!

- It look delish! - Haven't made one in a long time.

- Why? Why? - Huh? Just go with it.

Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Wait.

No, I just looked earlier.

Huh? No, there's still time.

♪ I held tightly

Soramame.

I got here a bit too early.

Her scent didn't change.

- Her scent? - Yeah. My mom's scent.

Just like it was when I was little.

I wonder if she ever changes her perfume.

I'm impressed you can remember that.

I am impressive.

I knew that.

But I'm glad you and your mother made up.

No, made up... well...

I saw it on TV. It was amazing.

No.

I can't help but feel small,

and that makes me sulk.

Your aura has changed too.

Soramame, you haven't changed.

That's not true at all.

I'm a refined Tokyo woman.

I'm even going to Paris now.

That's right. You're going to Paris.

Congrats.

Thanks.

There are so many things I want to tell you.

There are so many that I don't know what to say.

- Hey, Soramame. - Yeah?

- Wanna light some fireworks? - Huh?

You know, the one Mr. Sosuke had bought.

Isn't it a bit early?

I'm sorry. I have to get back.

What?

We're recording.

A new song is coming out.

New song. What is it called?

"Beyond the Morning."

I'm sure there are more things that I don't know.

- That makes two of us. - Huh?

Going to Paris and meeting your mother,

I heard it all from Mrs. Kyoko.

It kind of made me sad.

It's so pretty.

Remember

when we held hands before?

Maybe you forgot.

I forgot.

I don't remember anything about you.

You're being mean.

We're supposed to spend this summer together, right?

And see the fireworks.

It's a bit too early.

It's still March.

Fireworks in March... huh?

That's strange.

It's over.

You must go, right? You have a recording.

Thanks.

You're going next week, right?

Yeah.

Good luck.

Yeah. You too, Oto.

Bye.

Wait.

What is it?

If I spread my hand,

would you reach it?

Would you, Oto?

You think I wouldn't?

I would

easily.

Theme Song: Yorushika - Algernon

It was you

who put the beanbag, didn't you?

In one of my moving boxes.

You found out?

Don't forget about me.

How could I forget about you?

Keep it up, keep it up, yup

Back home in a daze, rubbing my eyes

I'm burnt out, I'm going to bed,

fell down asleep right away

No weekend plans,

little regrets piling up

Days that I miss you but can't make it happen

No one knows what the right answer is

But if you keep looking down, you'll never notice it,

the sparkling blue sky

Everything will be all right, it feels like it,

I'll dream as many times as I want

Yeah, it's gonna be all right, no matter what the day,

even so, my dear life

Everything will be all right always

Echoing melody

Every little scene softly light up my heart

You are not alone

Let’s live it up…

Let’s live it up

Let’s live it up…

With you, it's gonna be all right

Let’s live it up!
