That year, for the first time, I went to the city.

I had a fateful encounter.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you.

♫ After I passed through the elevated bridge ♫
[Spring Thief by Yorushika]

♫ I could see the blue sky peeking through the clouds ♫

♫ It's really hot lately ♫

♫ So I was just waiting for a breeze ♫

♫ Sitting underneath tree shade ♫

♫ There's something stuck on my cheeks ♫

♫ When I look up, flowers are blooming and scattering right above my head ♫

♫ Gently falling, we're now forgetting to even breath ♫

♫ And it's too much work to even blink ♫

♫ Well, even today will turn into the past tomorrow ♫

I'm sorry!

Likewise.

♫ This storm of flowers scattering about right now ♫

Sorry.

♫ Is certainly the spring thief ♫

♫ The wind— ♫

Hey!

Hey there!

- Is this yours?
- Yes, we picked up the wrong one.

The music suddenly got cut off, so...

Wait, that means...

Yes, we were listening to the same music.

It's such a coincidence, right?

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Do you only listen in one ear?

Yes, I want to listen to my surroundings too.

Really? That's an interesting habit.

Do you like Yorushika?

Excuse me?

Oh, it's nothing.

I love them. I especially like the ♪ too much ♪ part. It's dope! (loose translation for "amazing" in Kagoshima dialect)

- "Dope"?
- Okay. I have to go. See you.

Safe traveling!

The fateful encounter ended just like that.

♫ Well, even today will turn into the past tomorrow ♫

♫ So I'm just waiting for the wind ♫

♫ That's why we're now forgetting our voicеs ♫

♫ And it's too much work to even say goodbye ♫

♫ Flowеrs are just falling upon the sunny sky ♫

[Hold My Hand at Twilight: Episode 1]
♫ Right now, a spring storm is happening ♫

[Winter 2023, Tokyo]

We will be arriving shortly at our last stop, Shinjuku.

Thank you for using our service.

Hello, Miss.

Miss!

Spider! Spider! Spider! Spider!

It's just a toy.

What?

Goodness...

This sounds like Kaze Fujii (Japanese singer-songwriter).

Oh, this may be good.

[All recordings]
[New voice memo]

What?

Me?

Oh, that woke me up!

She's the girl from earlier.

- Wow, that scared me!
- Stop, Rika-chan!

"Rika"?

My phone!

I'm so sorry!

Thank y—

Are you okay?

That completely woke me up, all right?

Well, there are plenty of stores in this area.

Your clothes...

they're wet, so...

I'll... buy you some dry ones.

Never mind, I have to go.

The clothes will dry. Don't you worry.

See you.

Welcome.

Do you have an appointment?

Yes, I do.

Then I got all soaking wet.

I can't possibly come here like that, so I went into one shop.

And Tokyo stuff is so expensive!

It's incredibly pricey! Unbelievable.

I can't buy anything with the little money I have.

And there's no Shimamura (apparel store chain) here! How shocking!

And I went into a Donki (abbreviation for Don Quijote, Japan's largest discount store chain).

Miyazaki has a Donki too, right?

I paid money to take a long-distance bus,

and this was the cheapest one they had.

"Great Tokyo."

It's cool, right?

We need to save however we can.

We're getting married next month, right?

We better not waste any money.

Sorry, Soramame.

What?

I want to cancel it.

Shota? What are you talking about?

Our wedding...

I want to cancel it.

Why?

I...

have found someone else.

I thought he was the one for me.

[2008, Miyazaki]

Isn't it so funny?

Soramame. Is your name really Soramame ("broad beans" in Japanese)?

May her family's broad bean farm grow plenty of broad beans.

Soramame!

Stop it.

What's your problem, Beansprout Shota?

Soramame is a nice name.

You all are just too stupid to understand, that's all.

What did you say? Just because you're a little smarter,

- doesn't mean you can brag!
- Do you have a problem?

- Do you want to fight?
- Shota!

Why did you fight them?

You're weaker than them, right?

You should fight them with this.

We definitely, definitely,
[Romeo and Juliet]

think Asagi Soramame-san would be good for it.

Just because she's a looker... It makes me sick.

"Looker." That means "pretty."

Boys from other schools would cross a mountain or two to see her.

How worrying is that?

Yes, I'm a looker.

To be honest, the class just looked like a potato patch to me.

I'm not saying it, though.

And lately, I could feel the shadow of bullying creeping up to me.

But, but... it's a good chance for our class to win if Soramame is the female lead.

She's a beauty; she's attractive.

Sensei, you don't know anything.

If I play Juliet, the bullying will start.

Sir.

Oh? Shota, what is it?

I know it's a play,

but if we make it too obvious, we may not win.

Then that's where I learned that "masakari" is a type of axe.
[Gold]

Ready, and...

let's get chopping!

Way to go, Soramame!

Since then, they've been calling me "Kintaro" (Japanese folk hero).

You gave a great performance.

I was supposed to be bullied, but I became popular instead.

I have to thank you for that.

Why didn't you go to Kyushu University?

With your talent, you can go there, right?

To Tokyo.

I don't want to leave.

I want to be around here as much as possible.

Soramame...

will you stay with me forever?

What?

Here.

I bought it with the money from working part-time.

You're kidding me.

Give me your hand.

Who is it?

It's Oto.

I'm sorry, but it's raining right now.

My laundry...

Where is it?

Kyoko-san is my landlady.

She's a painter and a wealthy person in the city.

- That'll be ¥500 ($4).
- What?

It's a labor fee.

Stingy.

Kyoko-san bought the neighborhood's bath house that was about to go bankrupt.

Her dad occasionally took her there when she was young.

To prevent those memories from disappearing, she used money to keep it open.

She's a carefree person.

She'll sit in the attendant's booth on a whim.

- Oh, so cold.
- Welcome!

Oh, Hiroshi from the soba shop is here!

Kyoko-san's regular customer, Hiroshi,

owner of a soba shop, tells the day's fortune by the sound of his forehead.

Nice sound.

If I do it...

I'll get this expensive room?

W-Well... it'll be ¥350,000 ($2,600).

Yes.

Oh, add this dinner show.

But, Miss, this Ken Matsudaira's dinner show is on the weekend.

Please wait for a moment.

[Palace Tower Hotel]

I know it. I know it very well.

I'm like a weird old lady who came to stay alone in a high-class hotel.

"Will this person die of luxury in the end?"

But of course.

Excuse me...

If it's about money, I have it.

What's this?

This is really good!

Is this shark fin soup?

I haven't eaten such delicious food before.

Shaoxing wine, please.

Yes. Right away, Miss.

It doesn't have any emotions.

I don't feel the pain in your song.

That's why it can't touch people's hearts.

You've neither fallen in love nor been hurt, correct?

Have you never hated or borne a grudge?

You've never loved anyone, have you?

You've never cried, have you?

Sorry, I spoke too much.

No, what you said is all true.

You always tell me that anyway, Isobe-san.

I can't remember the last time I cried.

All right, shall we eat?

May I take your order?

Not yet, actually.

Then I shall come back later.

Stay.

If you don't stay, I can never make up my mind.

Very well, Madam.

She is Isobe Makiko, also called "Isobemaki" (nori-wrapped, bite-sized morsels).

Well, that's what I call her in my head, anyway.
[Universe Records]

She can't decide when ordering.

Isobemaki works for one of Japan's two leading record labels.

Not Sunny.

That's right. She is in "A and R" at Universe Records.

"A and R" stands for "Artists and Repertoire."

I don't understand why they abbreviated it,

but in short, they're supposed to look after new artists like me.

They guide them on the right path, help them debut, promote them,

and provide for them. Yet...

I still haven't made my debut at all.

I'll have two sets of this Shanghai crab course.

Thank you very much.

It's expensive!

It's selling well.

ZUBIDAVA's new song?

Oh, you're aware of that?

No, no way.

They're on a different level from me.

ZUBIDAVA, the Manbo and Ariel duo.

Their new song reached ten million streams in five days.
[ZUBIDAVA - Sea Va Cance]

I worked hard to get a tie-up (partnership) with a cosmetics commercial,

and to make it the theme song for an anime's premiere next month.

That's amazing.

Oh, then they're the ones you should treat to the Shanghai crab course.

They're allergic to crabs.

I see.

I guess I know nothing else but to eat crabs.

[ZUBIDAVA - Sea Va Cance]

Very well, sir.

- The wine...
- Yes?

- The wine menu...
- Here you go.

Shota...

This wine called "Shota", is it a Japanese wine?

Shota...

- Miss?
- Shota...

A-Are you okay?

- Miss...
- Shota...

Can I take it that you don't have any orders?

What?

Hey.

Don't "hey" him.

- Me?
- Yes.

I'm sorry.

- Come have a drink with me.
- I apologize on her behalf.

You think it's funny that a guy dumped me?

- You were laughing, weren't you?
- Miss, please stop.

- This afternoon.
- What?

We met at the fountain park, didn't we?

What?

This is the cleaning fee for your clothes.

I didn't send them for cleaning, so I don't need them.

What took you so long?

Sorry, I went to the washroom.

- Hurry up and eat.
- I'm digging in.

Looks delicious.

So good. What's happening here?

- Do your best.
- Thank you for the treat.

I'll do my best.

Will Granny... cry for me?

Hey, wait, "Great Tokyo" over there!

Don't rush into it!

No! My shoe!

I almost died like that shoe there.

Come on.

What?

After all, one of your shoes fell off.

You can't walk like that, right? Come on.

Are you sure you're okay with that?

You can't possibly stay here, right?

Sorry about that.

Oh, is it this way?

I've booked a room in that hotel.

I see.

Tokyo at night sure is bright, isn't it?

A person's back... feels warm...

I was scared...

So scared...

I almost died.

I almost died.

I came to Tokyo,

got a spider in my mouth, got soaking wet by a fountain,

got dumped by Shota,

and the marriage is called off.

But the shark's fin soup I ate for the first time...

was delicious.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

The fountain was your fault!

I'm... sorry.

DOWN TOWN by EPO

♫ The seven-colored twilight is coming down ♫

♫ The breeze is kind of cool ♫

What?

Who could it be?

I'm home, Mom.

What the hell is that?

What?

Didn't sit well with you, right?

- Welcome back!
- I'm home!

You came back so suddenly. What happened?

Ah, your shampoo smells nice.

I had an urgent business trip to Tokyo.

I arrived at Haneda at 7 pm,

and thought since I'm at it, I'd drop by before going back to my apartment.

Is that so? Come on in. This is your home.

Nope, it's mine.

But the sound of the doorbell was really something.

Makes me want to eat tofu.

The lights on the second floor are off. Oto's not in?

He's not back yet.

This is the first time he's done it.

Why are you happy about that?

Come on in.

So hot.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Is this okay?

Thank you so much.

Please excuse me.

- I'm off, then.
- What? Wait--

Wait, wait, wait, wait...

- Farewell.
- W-Wait...

a minute.

What do you want?

Wow, so that's how you open it!

Amazing! First time I see this.

I couldn't get in by myself just now.

That's like magic.

Just stick the card in like this.

What?

What?

What's this room? It's huge!

- What?
- You got hurt.

- Get married?
- Yup.

So my son is finally saying he wants to get married too?

Well, the west is all about companion culture.

So who is she? You brought her here?

Could it be that... her eyes are blue?

Wait, or maybe you're doing a shotgun wedding,

and my cute little half-Caucasian grandchild
is due next month?

No, I'll start looking for a bride from now.

While I'm on business trip here in Tokyo, I plan to look for one.

Will things go that well?

It's different from buying radish, you know?

I plan to get married as casually as buying radish.

Wait, wait, wait...

I wasn't planning to kill myself.

My ring fell off, that's all.

And I was trying to pick it up.

I tried to pick it up, and I thought of jumping.

You'll die if you do that.

Was that ring important to you?

Shota... was my other half.

The two of us made one whole.

If Shota isn't around anymore,

I can't breathe. It'll be hard to breathe.

There won't be a ground for me to stand anymore.

Say... do you want to listen to the melody that you helped me with today?

Melody?

Yes. I'm a music artist, you see.

You make music?

I recorded down the chorus that I came up with.

Sit over here.

Nice song.

- But... the chorus hasn't--
- Great song.

What? Are you crying?

I'm getting crazy, so don't count on me to critique.

I may cry if I listen to "Donguri Korokoro"* now. (* Rolling Acorn - Japanese Children's Songs)

Play it one more time.

Okay.

Is this okay?

Thanks.

You really love him that much?

Is there anyone you love?

No, I don't.

I don't think I can fall in love with anyone.

How nice.

That way, you won't have to go through all this pain.

Thanks for everything.

You can go home now.

I'll return this to the concierge.

Okay.

I've to go to the washroom.

Sure.

What are you doing?

Well... I thought I'd get a bath.

- Don't come in.
- You think I'd kill myself?

My phone!
♫ The moon that floated ♫

♫ in the night like a jellyfish has split open ♫
♫ When I glance at someone’s back at the bus stop ♫

♫ You, as you were that summer, are in my head ♫

Where's it? Where's it?

Where? Where is it?

♫ Torii gates, dried-out clouds; the scent of summer strokes my cheek ♫

I always have my phone with me...
[Shota]

It's from... Shota-san.

Hello? Hello?

Yes.

Yes, it's great to see you this afternoon.

I'm fine.

I also didn't expect that to happen.

Oh... I'm totally fine. Totally fine.

I'll tell Granny too, don't worry about it.

Yes.

Thanks... for everything.

Take care, okay?

I wish you happiness.

Yes.

- I wanna see him one more time.
- Pardon?

One more time. I'll go meet him tomorrow.

Why? You already wished him happiness earlier.

H-Hang on a sec. What kind of train of thought is that?

I mean, what kind of path are your emotions leading to--

- Come with me.
- What?

- Come with me to find Shota together.
- Why?

- You don't want to?
- I'd prefer that.

Could you lend me your phone?

What?

Hang on! Stop! Stop!

- What are you doing?
- I saved your phone and song.

That's our terms of exchange.

You mean post terms of exchange.

If I go there alone,

and get dumped by Shota again,

I feel like I may disappear.

It's you! You're the one who can connect me to this world.

Hey you! Wait! Wait up!

Hey!

I didn't get your name!

My name's Soramame.

"Sky" and "bean"*. ("sora" means "sky", and "mame" means "bean")

They're the same spelling as those broad beans we eat.

Soramame.

Maybe you won't come tomorrow.

Maybe I won't come back too.

Can I at least ask for the name of the man who saved me?

She was right.

I was planning to run away like that,

and not take care of her the day after.

A part of me had thought of that. Probably.

- It's Oto!
- Oto?

"Oto" from the word "music".

"Oto", the sound. "Oto", the sound of music.

Oto?

What a nice name!

Oto! Thank you!

What? Sosuke-san came back from New York?

It was a sudden trip. He dropped by last night.

I was hoping to meet him.

Don't worry. He'll be back again.

He said he'll be in Tokyo for the time being.

- Looks like he's getting married.
- What?

Oh, right. He's got you a souvenir. Here.

No way. The band T-shirt's cool.

This is The Jesus and Mary Chain. It's super rare.

I heard it's a matching attire.

You definitely can't get it in Japan.

Take a look at these too.

There's a shop in Haneda that sells toys from the past.

What's this?

Oh, what? Those ribbons are cute, Kyoko-san.

These are my souvenirs.

He sure is something.

Maybe I should wear this out today.

Where are you going?

Where are you wearing this out to?

W-Well...

Welcome.

Pardon?

Did she die?

Oto!

Oto... Oto...

Over here, here...

- What's wrong with you?
- I realized it this morning...

That I... don't have any shoes.

What's your shoe size?

23.5 cm.

- What?
- 23.5 cm.!

Is it here?

Are you kidding me?

It's huge...

He's really smart.

I heard he developed an app that was successful.

Our teacher was shocked that his IQ's 140.

Gifted, right?

That's right.

What's "gifted"?

The chosen one... by the heavens.

What are you talking about?

Golly... I'm so nervous.

Hello, who is it?

E-Ehm...

Is this Yano Shota-san's residence?

Shota is out shopping for stuff. He should be back soon.

Here you go.

Are you his assistant or something?

Oh, no. I'm not.

You two live together?

No, we don't.

- Are you his girlfriend?
- Excuse me?

Please stop it, Soramame.

Ah, do you happen to be...

Soramame-san?

Asagi Soramame-san?

I'm sorry! I told him I have to apologize to you.

I heard about you from Shota-kun.

I'm truly, truly sorry.

Why would he tell you about me?

I'm home.

Sorry, but the nearby supermarket doesn't have the usual stuff--

- Soramame?
- Why?

Why'd you tell a total stranger about me?!

Aren't they our secrets? Aren't they what we treasure?

- Our memories... no one was supposed to know!
- Stop it, Soramame!

No, I'm wrong.

The total stranger is me, right?

I'm the total stranger! You both have your own world,

and I'm the one barging in.

Our memories are just trash.

They're no different from paper scraps!

Did you threw them away?

You threw them away, didn't you?

I'm sorry.

I don't love you anymore, Soramame.

Nanami's the one I--

How gross.

You're now trying to speak with a Tokyo accent.

Gross.

I'm thirsty.

What would you like?

My treat.

Your treat? They're all just 100 yen.

Orange juice.

This orange juice is good.

You're not buying the orange juice, though.

I feel like drinking this.

- So pretty...
- Yes, it's pretty.

It's really pretty.

So pretty.

Soramame-chan will surely look beautiful in that.

- That's right.
- You think so?

That child is getting married.

I'm so glad.

Really glad.

I'll get it.

- Hello?
- Hello.

Ah, Soramame!

Oh, Aunt Noriko.

How are you doing?

Shall I get Granny?

You called to speak to her, didn't you?

Let me get her now. Granny!

Soramame, the wedding dress is so pretty.

I can't wait to see you in it.

Soramame.

Granny.

Is Shota with you?

Yes.

Your dress...

Noriko, Kouhei, and Miyuki-san came over.

We just wanted to take a look at it.

Don't worry about things over here.

Just focus on prepping for the wedding next month with Shota.

Yes...

- Mom, tell her about the elevator.
- You're right, you're right.

Soramame, the contractor came yesterday

to measure the dimensions for the elevator at the end of the corridor.

Ah, the elevator.

Help me say thanks to Shota, okay?

Tell him I'm grateful for that.

Okay.

You'll be staying there for a while, right?

One week? Two weeks? That's what you said, right?

Yes,

How's Shota doing?

He's fine. Fine.

He's drinking coffee right now.

I have to go. I'll call you all again.

I can't bring myself to tell her.

♫ Why did you give me a heart? ♫

♫ Why did you draw eyes on me? ♫

♫ Bigger than the sky, swallowing the wind that blows the clouds ♫

♫ My eyes were once again seeing a dream ♫

♫ While barefoot ♫

♫ You slowly change, ever so little ♫

♫ Like I'm staring at gradually rising bread ♫

- Oh, right. What is it about the elevator?
- What?

You mentioned that on the phone earlier.

You see, Shota said he would install an elevator at home for my granny.

Granny's got a bad leg.

I see.

Back at home, my relatives all live in the same neighborhood.

There's Granny, Aunt Noriko,

Uncle Kouhei, Aunt Miyuki,

and their families.

It's real lively back home.

Granny was from Nagasaki, and Gramps was from Miyazaki.

My accent is a mix of both.

What about your parents?

Don't have any.

♫ We slowly fall asleep ♫

♫ Slowly fall asleep ♫

♫ You slowly change, ever so little ♫

♫ Like the shade growing right beneath that tree ♫

♫ You slowly run into the distance ♫

♫ Not fearing the long maze up ahead ♫

So here's where you live?

Wait, why are you following me?

I thought you could show me around Tokyo for a bit.

It'll be so sad for me to leave just like this.

I beg you!

If Granny knows the wedding's called off
right after everyone sees the dress,

she'll faint for sure!

Just for today! Could you let me stay over?

- Do you have any friends?
- None.

- Money?
- I used it all at Palace Tower Hotel.

Oh, Oto, welcome back.

Hello.

Wataru?

Wataru! Long time no see.

How are you, Wataru?

- Taking him out for a walk?
- Yes.

- Be careful on your way.
- See you.

Bye, Wataru.

See you.

She's a lady I occasionally bump into.

Her Bichon Frisé kind of likes me.

This is where you live?

Excuse me?

Well, yes.

Amazing! You're wealthy, aren't you?

What? I look poor to you?

- Will you marry me?
- No, thanks.

I didn't know you're rich.

- If we live here, we can even buy an elevator or two for Granny.
- Wait, Soramame-san.

- Soramame-san.
- Yes?

You should go back home.

You have to go back sooner or later anyway. The sooner the better.

I mean, your uncles and aunts...

Your relatives' expectations of you is like a balloon.

You see, it's better to go home before the balloon inflates any further.

Especially your Granny's.

- Maybe you're right.
- Pardon?

I think so too.

And I feel bad too, for imposing on you these two days.

Oh, it's nothing.

Guess I have to go home.

Seriously?

What?

You're seriously going home?

Yes.

I won't kill myself.

You saved my life, after all.

I'll take the night bus back home today.

Oh, right. You make music, right?

You're gonna make that melody on your phone into a song, right?

With a band?

No, it's DTM*. Using a vocaloid to make it. (*Desk Top Music. Music made using a computer)

You're a vocaloid producer?

What's the name? Maybe I know it.

- Manbo.
- Are you kidding me?! For real?

What, what?!

You mean, "My Life is Screaming", that Manbo?

That song... I had a hard time making it.

Amazing!

So you're that Manbo!

He's really famous!

I'm a huge fan.

You appeared on last year's Kohaku* show, right? (*NHK Red and White Song Battle)

With that trademark Manbo mask.

That was hard to see.

I knew it, I knew it!

Oh, and this is your place?

Your autograph. Please give me your autograph.

As a souvenir from Tokyo.

Wait, why do you bring this around?

It's Tokyo. If I'm stayin' here for a week, I'd sure bump into a famous person or two.

Wow...

She also had it rough coming to Tokyo.

Doesn't hurt to make her feel better with this.

Even if it's a lie. As long as she doesn't find out,

it's a nice dream in itself.

That's what I told myself.

[ZUBIDAVA
Manbo]

You're left-handed?

You realized?

I noticed it.

Picasso and Mozart were also lefties.

Alright. A Picasso art for you.

[ZUBIDAVA
Manbo]

Thanks so much!

Bye.

See you tomorrow. Thanks.

Welcome.

Excuse me...

You've been in here since earlier. Are you alright?

You should step out for a while and take a bath.

This... is my first time in a sauna.

Oh, you're on holiday here?

Well...

I'm going back home today.

I still have time before my night bus departs.

- Oto! Come over here!
- What is it?

- I've brought a girl home.
- What?

The girl got too dizzy from the hot bath and fainted.

I'll let her stay over for the time being.

What?

She said she doesn't want to go home.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for your care.

♫ I've no weekend plans, I'm starting to regret ♫

♫ I don't mind if you wanna meet me these Days, yeah ♫

♫ What exactly is right? No one knows ♫

♫ But if we keep looking down, we won't notice the glittering Blue sky ♫

♫ Everything will be alright (Oh!), with this feeling (Oh!) ♫

♫ Let's dream time and time again ♫

♫ Yeah! It's gonna be alright (Oh!) any day (Oh!) ♫

♫ However it may be, we love life ♫

♫ Everything will be alright (Oh!), anytime (Oh!) ♫

♫ It resonates, this Melody ♫

♫ Every little scene gently lights up My heart ♫

♫ I'm not alone ♫

♫ Let's live it up ♫

♫ Let's live it up ♫

♫ Let's live it up ♫

♫ Let's live it up ♫

♪ When you're with me, everything's Alright

♫ Let's live it up ♫

I have to live with you?

- You should go marriage hunting!
- Is it so wrong to dream?

I just want one of my songs to last, to stay with people.

You've never had a crush?
