Hello?

This is Nagao. Nagao Kanji.

Yes.

Ah, now? I'm at Haneda Airport now.

Yes?

What?

A woman waiting by the exit? Yes.

Wearing a navy blue jacket?

Yes.

The airport exit... A navy blue jacket...

Kanji!

Nagao Kanji!

Kanji!

Ah, yes! Kanji!

Nagao Kanji?

Um, that's me.

Kanchi?

No, it's Nagao Kanji.

If you're here respond faster.

My name is Rika.

Is that all the luggage you have?

Yes.

I have to go to the warehouse to load some items.

Come with me!

That's all.

Thank you.

Um...

We're finished.

Thank you. Let's go.

Yes.

What's wrong? You don't sound lively.

Is that so?

You sound like a kid at the end of summer.

Is there something you don't like about Tokyo?

No, not really, but I have some anxiety.

How come?

I came from Ehime alone and don't know anything.

It's fun because you don't know what will happen.

Is that how it is?

Don't worry. Just smile.

Everything in the past happened for this day.

It's like a badge.

A badge?

You put each day's feelings on a shiny badge.

And you wear it on your chest.

Okay?

Yes.

Feeling better?

Like a kid on the last day of school.

Right. Let's go!

Yes.

Our work here is tough.

Oh, you've arrived.

Yes.

Pleased to meet you.

I received oranges from your mother. Tell her I said thanks.

Yes. I received oranges from your mother. Tell her I said thanks.

So this is your first memorandum.

A businessman receives four of these.

When he gets employed, when he gets promoted,

when he gets transferred and when he quits.

This is Isharu Watanabe.

Ah, pleased to meet you.

My name's Watanabe, nice to meet you.

If you have any questions ask him.

Yes. If you have any questions ask him.

Or you can be the one to teach him.

Well then, work hard.

Yes. Well then, work hard.

Then, I'll see you later.

Ah, thanks.

Hey, do you know her?

I just met her.

You shouldn't get involved with her.

Why?

You'll find out soon.

Yes, hello.

Don't answer the phone.

Who is it? I bet it's another girl.

Hello, oh, it's you Nagao.

I just arrived here.

Who just answered the phone?

It was my cat.

A cat answers the phone in your house?

Yeah, ah no.

You know, um...

Are you coming to the reunion, Mikami?

Yeah.

Do you think she'll come too?

Who?

Well, you know...

You remember Anzai and Sekiguchi?

Oh, Sekiguchi huh?

I think she will.

You see each other over here, don't you?

No, she doesn't like me.

Why? You guys are friends from long time ago.

She's not considered as a friend.

Then what is she?

A woman.

Is that how it is?

Let's drop the subject. I'll see you then.

At the end of the hallway,

there was an empty classroom.

That was our secret hideout.

Mikami was mature, but was like a younger brother.

Nagao was childish, but was like an older brother.

And there was me.

We were always together.

Which one do you like?

I liked to watch them get along together.

One time the three of us skipped class together, and went to the beach.

Nagao was extremely impressed by the ocean,

but Mikami just sat there and stared at the ground.

While I was watching Mikami I used to think...

I wish things could remain like this forever.

So it's been five years since you last saw them.

I feel comfortable about seeing Nagao.

You don't want to see Mikami?

I do.

This is Nagao who just join us.

I'm Nagao Kanji. Pleased to meet you.

Work hard.

Yes. Work hard.

Akana.

Yes.

You were in charge in spring campaign, right?

Yes. You were in charge in spring campaign, right?

Please teach our staff member about marketing.

Yes, I understand.

Then, I'm counting on you.

Yes. Then, I'm counting on you.

I'll be in your care, Kanchi.

Kanchi?

My name is Kanji, not Kanchi.

But in my grade school there was a kid, named Yamamura Kanji.

But everybody called him Kanchi.

This is our manual for our spring presentation.

But things change along the way,

so it may not be of much use.

Um, excuse me...

Sorry, is there something you don't understand?

No, it's not that but...

Let's not talk about work while we're eating.

Ah, i don't know anything about you but...

It feels like you rush unnecessarily and it has the opposite effect.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, you're right.

You're right, I just got accustomed to this way.

That's right, you're correct Kanchi.

Thanks for the food.

Thanks for the food.

Hey, you must be popular.

What's this all of a sudden, I'm not popular at all.

Why? What's this all of a sudden, I'm not popular at all.

What do you mean "why?"

I don't know but I had a depressing school life.

Why? I don't know but I had a depressing school life.

I liked a girl, but I never managed to tell her my feelings.

In college?

No, in high school.

Let's not talk about this.

No, I want to hear it. What happened to her?

What? Well... I'm going to see her soon.

There is going to be a reunion.

So the girl you liked is going to be there.

Yes, it's been five years.

I see, so you get to see her again.

I hope things turn out well.

Let's celebrate Nagao's arrival in Tokyo.

Cheers!

Nagao, did you finish unpacking?

Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while.

Yes. Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while.

Do you still play soccer?

I work for an insurance company now.

It doesn't fit me, but here is my business card.

We have this new insurance policy.

Did you watch last year's World Cup?

I didn't. Did you watch last year's World Cup?

I didn't.

Why? We used to watch the last one every night.

Look. If you pay 30,000 every month,

You can get up to 70,000,000 yen.

Isn't Satomi late?

Is Sekiguchi coming?

I think so.

I bet she hasn't changed.

No, you never know. It's been five years.

She must have one or two affairs, and

she probably has someone now.

Sorry I'm late.

She hasn't changed at all.

What? Ah, Nagao.

Hey, why don't you sit here?

What are you holding?

The same as always.

It's sad to be buying flowers for yourself.

There's no men to show my clothes to either.

Don't you get rashes from wearing expensive clothes?

Ah, what? Did you buy a cactus?

Yeah. Ah, what? Did you buy a cactus?

You have a weird taste.

Do you want to go somewhere?

Sorry, I have to get ready for a presentation.

Ah, that's right.

Maybe next time.

Bye bye.

I'm sorry. Buy a new one with this.

What?

Ah, no.

Is anybody else coming?

Like who?

Mikami and others.

Sekiguchi, I bet you have a guy.

I'bet you have fun.

Don't you all think so? Let's take a vote.

Agreed!

Who thinks she has a boyfriend?

Me! Me! Me! Me!

Then, who thinks she doesn't have one?

Me!

Excuse me.

Wow! There's so many people.

Ah!

Kanchi...

What are you doing here?

That's what I want to ask.

Good evening.

This way, this way!

You guys knew each other?

I just picked her up. You guys knew each other?

You didn't pick me up. You pushed me down.

How about you two?

I'm Kanchi's girlfriend.

Really?

Stop lying! She's lying.

- Let's go somewhere else. - What?

What about the others?

Forget about them.

I want to drink with you tonight. Let's go.

Then...

Let's go.

I lost more friends because of you.

It has been like that since school.

Your relationship was like an onion and a handkerchief.

You know...

But the girls he consoled ended up liking him.

I don't remember that.

That's because you were dense.

I'm relieved though.

Why?

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to.

I was worried too. I thought that you would have changed...

I didn't.

Do you remember when we skipped class and

went to the beach together?

Oh, excuse me.

I'm surprised.

About what?

You seem so different from the daytime.

At school you look like a studious girl.

What's wrong?

What?

You seem jealous.

About Mikami? Impossible.

He was like that from before.

Everyone always said that he sleeps around a lot,

but he doesn't love any of them.

Right, why do I have to feel jealous about him?

It was my mistake then.

Oh yes, Nagao=kun, ping pong.

Huh?

You were right in the restaurant.

Ah, then you don't have a boyfriend.

Nagao always used to sense my emotions.

He's the opposite of Mikami.

I'm sorry. Did you wait too long?

Let's go somewhere?

I'll see you around, bye bye.

I'm sorry, she's my classmate at college.

It's the same as in high school.

I always felt someone's looking at me.

When I would turn around, I'd see Sekiguchi.

Watching me with a disgusted expression.

Her fastidiousness will never change.

Mikami!

I am going home.

Don't go. I'll leave.

Nagao will be paying the bill. See you.

Hey, wait.

I'll be right back.

Mikami!

You don't like him?

I don't hate him, but I get frustrated when he's around.

But it's nice to be able to see your friends again.

What about you?

All my friends are in other countries.

You used to live abroad?

I'm envious of you.

Give me your phone number.

He went home.

He told me to apologize to you for him.

No way. He's not that thoughtful.

Thank you though.

Thank you.

Little kindness with many ulterior motives.

Do you have something against me?

Hello.

Do you have something against me?

Kanchi, I'll give you this.

What's this? I don't want your phone number.

Just take it!

Hello, this is Nagao.

It's me.

Huh, Akana-san?

How did you know?

You must like me.

I'm sorry, you got the wrong number.

Ahh! I'm sorry, you got the wrong number.

What, did you just get back?

Hey, it was about her wasn't it?

Sekiguchi was your fond high school memory.

How?

It's obvious, it was written all-over your face.

Then, do you want me to tell her for you?

Huh?!

It's hard to tell someone that you like them.

Word is harder than saying. Tongue twisters.

Don't worry about me.

Why?

I should act as a cupid for you.

Don't speak so highly of yourself.

That's why-

Are you teasing me because I'm new around here?

Who are you trying to call? This is Sekiguchi.

Sekiguchi?

This equipment can be explained as a

form of X-Ray.

Nagasaki, what is the reading?

Yes? Nagasaki, what is the reading?

Nagasaki, what is the reading?

I'm impressed.

Don't look.

Let me see it.

What are you doing?

Where did you go last night?

I want to know what kind of person you really are.

Leave me alone.

I make a habit of making girls turn towards me.

Just like a weathercock.

Here. Nice to meet you.

Weathercocks turn their back to the wind.

I'll tell you straight out I don't like your type.

That's what they all say.

This is one of our shirts. It's our best-selling model.

We can't give a discount on this one.

Here's yours. You're from Ehime, aren't you?

Isn't that when men reach adulthood, they tie a cord around their legs and jump off a rock?

There is no such thing.

Did you work there before?

Yes, but I wanted to come to Tokyo.

Maybe you were involved in a relationship and came here to avoid it.

How about starting a relationship with me?

Actually, Nagao is very quick at these things.

Wait, what are you saying?

Rika Akana.

You have something going with her?

No, no.

Don't deal with her. She's involved with the manager.

You're kidding.

Then, I'm leaving it to you.

Yes. Then, I'm leaving it to you.

Watanabe!

Yes!

See?

Yes, what is it?

Tomorrow can you...

What?

What's wrong?

What do you mean what? You called me, didn't you?

I was just exercising my wrist.

Maybe I'll exercise my neck too.

That number you gave me was Sekiguchi's.

That's right, I wrote it down.

I didn't know it was hers.

How was it? I didn't know it was hers.

How was it?

What's wrong?

We're going to meet again tonight.

That's good. Where?

I'm not telling you.

Why?

Hello.

Who are you talking to?

If I tell you, you'll come to tease me.

Of course.

That's why. Of course.

Then I'll write on your face,

that you love her.

The problem with you is that you're always on guard.

You should let your guard down.

So men can tell you that they love you.

Don't worry about me.

But it's the first time I heard you're going on a date.

He's my classmate. It's not a big deal.

Maybe he likes you.

Impossible.

What time do you finish?

I'll wait for you.

But I'm meeting with Nagao.

With Nagao? Then let's all go together.

Bye.

No, that will be troublesome.

I'll be waiting.

Are you still angry?

What?

Don't move. What?

You haven't changed.

You seem just like in the yearbook.

What happened?

You suddenly asked me out.

Is there any problem with that?

But, this never happened before.

Even though we've been in Tokyo for 5 years.

I guess I forgot.

I was supposed to forget it.

I'm sorry, Mikami suddenly came.

It's okay.

Sorry about that.

Let's go up.

Eh, where where?

Hello, this is marketing.

Oh, how's it going?

What?

Akana, what's wrong?

The delivery truck got into an accident.

The truck for our presentation tonight?

We have rackets in stock but none of the clothes.

Is anybody still here?

They're all at the auditorium.

I know we still have some samples at the warehouse.

I see. I'll call there. I know we still have some samples at the warehouse.

I see. I'll call there.

Okay. I see. I'll call there.

When does the tennis presentation start?

At nine.

What's wrong?

You can go.

Yes.

You suck.

You try it then, Nagao.

No problem, mine hops like a grasshopper.

Ah, wow!

Mikami, you're next.

I'm alright, Nagao can have the winner's trophy.

I don't want it.

Mikami-kun...

Guess I've got no choice.

If I win, Sekiguchi is mine.

I won.

Sorry, excuse me.

Hello, this is Nagao.

Kanchi?

Did something happen?

Where are you now?

Sorry but something happened with the truck at work.

Do you have to go?

I'm sorry.

Is it going to take long?

I'm not sure.

We'll be at the same place as last night. Come after you finish.

Is it okay?

I'll be waiting.

I'll go then.

Keep the change.

Hurry up!

Did the tennis wear get here yet?

No, not yet. Did the tennis wear get here yet?

Did the tennis wear get here yet?

Kanchi.

Thanks.

If he doesn't make it, there won't be enough time.

Where is that guy?

Does he even know where this place is?

He knows, he knows. Does he even know where this place is?

I'm going to find him.

Where?

Rika, it's a phone call from Nagao.

Hello, Kanchi?

Yes, yes, it's the lost Nagao-kun.

Stop joking around, idiot!

There's no use getting upset.

You know, I'm at a place called Shinsen right now.

Shinsen? That is close to here.

I know it's close, but I can't find it.

Can you be my navigator?

I got it. So you're in Shinsen...

Where is Nagao?

He's not here yet. Where is Nagao?

There's no more time.

Yes, I see a yellow building, on the right.

Ok, after that turn right at the second intersection.

Yes.

Hurry!

Ignore the red light. Hurry!

It's going to be too late.

Please, hurry up!

I can't help it. It's so confusing.

Yellow sign? Yes, turn there!

Kanchi, over here!

No-sense-of-directionchi.

It felt like I was in a Die Hard or Indiana Jones movie!

Was it that bad?

But, I'm amazed you could stay so calm at a time like that.

Are you trying to say that I'm kind of dense?

No, I think it's good to be like that.

Just like what Satomi told me.

Um. Sekiguchi and Mikami are waiting for me. I have to go.

I'll see you then.

Do you want to come along?

Is it okay?

To thank you for tonight.

I should be thanking you.

You become quiet as soon as Nagao is gone.

You were like that ever since high school.

Maybe I was afraid.

Afraid of being alone with you.

Did you hate me that much?

Give my regards to Nagao?

Are you going to leave?

Hate...

It would have been so easy if I could hate you.

Five years ago, while I was waiting at the train station on my way to Tokyo, I did some thinking.

I'm going to leave behind all the memories of Nagao I was holding onto behind.

I was telling myself to forget about that guy.

There are stars out tonight.

Of course. It's night time.

No, it's rare to be able to see them in Tokyo.

I wish l could take one home.

I wish we could be like stars so our distance would never change.

There they are.

Mikami...

I always thought that you hated me.

The one who is most unfair Sekiguchi,

is you.

But, Mikami back then you were...

Even though you don't...

even like me.

Don't.

Don't.

l'm not your type of girl.

Run! Hurry!

Don't stop!

Why?

I'll leave you behind!

Kanchi, hurry up!

Where are we going?

Over there.

You know,

I was envious of you and Mikami.

When I saw you having so much fun with your friends.

I was envious.

I kept transferring when I was young.

When I was a teenager I lived overseas.

So I never had a longtime friend.

So I don't know what has happened to, all the people I know.

But I'm not lonely.

But when I do get lonely...

and I can't sleep at night,

At that time, I look up at the stars.

There must be a lot of people in the world

who are also lonely, and also...

are watching the stars together.

But...

there is only one sky that we all look at.

Is there something on my face?

On your face?.

It says, "does this girl like me?"

I'll see you tomorrow then.

It's today already.

That's right.

I'll see you later then.

Don't oversleep.

I'll set my alarm.

Wear your pajamas.

I'll brush my teeth.

I'll wrap myself in a blanket.

And have a nice dream.

Maybe I'll dream about you.

Me too then.

Bye.

Bye.

Good night.

Good night.

Don't oversleep.

I said that already.

That's right. Have a nice dream.

That too.

That's right...

It seems we're never going to get home.

There are nights like that.

Then why don't we turn around at the same time?

Ok.

You cheated.

Kanchi.

What?

Kanchi.

What?

Kanchi.

So, what?

Kanchi.

I love you.

Darn. I said it.

What are you saying?

Good night.

Hey, wait!
