I've never fallen so much in love with anyone.

I'm sorry.

Can you guess where I am now?

Eh?

After I finally accepted it!

Why?

Shima-Kun! I don't know what I should do!

When you're feeling a little better, you should go home.

Eh?

You shouldn't leave your house open this late.

Let me stay a bit longer.

Just a bit longer.

I want to be near you.

I want to go back to how we were!

Just twenty years old, with lots of dreams for the future,

and someone I loved by my side...

Why did we meet again?!

If we hadn't met, would I feel...

Even if I ran off in the middle of the night,

I still wouldn't have felt I needed to see you!

Let's go.

Good night.

Smile for me.

Yu-chan!

Good night.

Kenta! Why did you fight with a boy?! Answer me!

He kicked me first.

But that's no reason to hit him back!

There are things you can do and things you cannot!

If you know it's wrong, you must never do it!

Today at school, I want you to apologize to the Kobayashi boy.

All right.

And apologize to Mama, too.

Mama, I'm sorry.

You're forgiven. Now let's eat. You, too, Momo.

Yes. Ken-chan, let's eat. - Yes.

So sorry, Mayumi! I got a little carried away at our wrap party,

and when I came to, it was morning!

Better not to say to much. Simple is best.

Sorry, sorry! I got a little carried away at our wrap party!

Good!

What are you doing, Itchan?

What are you doing?!

Taking the garbage out.

Right! Monday and Thursday for burnables and Friday for bottles!

So what happened? I waited up all night for you.

Sorry, sorry! I got a little carried away at our wrap party!

You see...I got a little carried away.

Itchan? Did you wash your hair?

Smells funny...like some cheap shampoo.

Right! At the theater, I took a shower and washed my hair!

Oh, no! Look at the time! I have to get to the shop!

This is your fault! I stayed up waiting for you,

and then I overslept!

Sorry sorry! I got a little carried away at our wrap party!

Itchan, congratulations on the run of the play.

I'm happy for you.

I have to go. Bye!

Well, bye.

Yes!

How are you feeling?

Hadn't you better go to see the doctor?

No, if I rest today, I'll be fine.

I know! I'll make you some hot lemonade! That'll fix you up.

Mama.

I did intend to break it off, I really did!

But when I saw his face...

It hurts...it hurts so badly...

So what? At least you've known love.

The agony of it, the ache of it, the thrill of it.

Compared to a life with nothing, I think it's a much finer life.

Come on, cheer up! Come drink it in there with me.

Hello?

Sawamura here! Sorry I haven't called earlier! About that loan...

Mr. Sawamura?

Yes?

This is Risa.

Oh...hello.

I'll let you speak to my mother.

Eh?! I got it?!

I just heard from the man at the Setagaya branch,

and he says it's almost a done deal.

I see.

I think the person in charge of this case will contact you directly.

Thank you so much for everything!

Yes.

Yes.

Good-bye!

Sensei? Is the shop in that much trouble?

Eh? Why do you ask?

I heard a little bit from Keiko.

Well...But a man from Sakiko's husband's bank is helping out.

Things will be fine.

Really?

Really.

Let's work hard to bring in more customers!

I thought handouts would be good,

so I asked my friend to design one.

Oh, really!

You've made me cry!

No sense in lying to you, so I'll just spit it out.

Yeah.

He's her old lover. The one in Hokkaido.

That she was having the long-distance love affair with.

Are you looking for something?

What should we do..?

Why didn't she say anything?

It was probably hard for her to tell you.

That gave you a shock!

You overlook what you did and blame your wife.

I bet you never thought your wife would keep a secret from you.

Enough. Don't laugh at me.

Sorry.

I'm paying for my sins.

Don't worry! We're talking about Yuko.

Nothing will happen! This is Yuko!

You can have this, too.

You don't want it?

I'm full already.

Thanks!

I'm digging in.

Let's go.

Mama! More, please!

Yes.

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

Did you eat?

Yeah.

Kenta apologized, he said.

Eh?

To the other boy. When Kenta apologized, the boy forgave him.

I see.

He asked me to tell you. He waited up a long time.

On Thursday I've got to go to Osaka on business.

I'll be back on Sunday, I think.

Sunday?!

I need some time to myself to think things over.

I understand.

Yuko!

What?

No, it was nothing.

Itchan! Where are you going?

Um...I..! A briefing about the play! In Osaka!

What about your briefcase?

Ah! I forgot my briefcase!

It's 7:30 tonight, remember!

What is?

Our wrap party for you. Everybody wants to show their support.

Oh, yeah!

And everybody is dying to taste your cooking.

This party is for me, right?

Today, Sakiko and Yuko are bringing the food.

I see.

And the man from Sakiko's husband's bank is coming,

so be nice to him.

I know.

I'm going to miss you, when you go to Osaka.

Don't be silly!

Yes?

Hello, is Mr. Oyabu there?

Yes, he is.

Oh! It's the Missus! It's me, Kaori! We met at the theater.

Kaori?

Hello, it's me! This is about the briefing, right?

I was just leaving, so I'll be right there.

Something's fishy here...

What?

Listen! Please don't call my home any more!

Why? What's wrong with it?!

Look.

Sorry to keep asking, but did you and I really...do it?

You truly don't remember?

I just really can't recall.

Even when I remember other things, that one space is blank.

Sorry to say this, but can we forget that night ever happened?

I'm really sorry.

What's wrong?!

You're awful, Mr. Oyabu!

I'm really serious about this! I truly love you!

That's why I went to that hotel with you!

Kaori! Calm down! Let's settle down.

Hello, the Konishis.

Reiko?

Your house is so clean! I should have known!

Don't you have to go back to your office?

I told them I was going home. Things have been rough lately,

and sometimes I need a break.

These look delicious! Which one do you want?

The strawberry one.

Okay. I'll get some tea.

I'm so glad you're looking cheerful.

Eh?

What would I do if you were all down suddenly?

I've got so much to do during the day with the kids and all.

I don't have time to look unhappy.

Mom's are sure tough.

What about your husband?

He went on a business trip yesterday. Or so he says.

He's called me to come talk twice recently.

Eh?

After ten years, I'm reviving my role as advisor.

Why is it always me?

He won't tell me anything, but he'll tell you.

He says he can't tell you about problems at work.

Why?

He doesn't want you to worry.

He's got problems of his own, you know.

He says he's got to work them out himself.

Papa...

He's always been like that.

He keeps stuff to himself, and tells me nothing.

Do you think you can't forgive him, as his wife?

It's not a matter of forgiving or not, or being angry or sad.

Right now, to me it feels so...fruitless.

Eh?

What were these ten years for? That's all I can think of.

What have I been seeing in him?

I don't want you two to break up over small things.

I bought a condo last year, right?

That's when I decided I'd have to go it all alone.

With that mortgage, I have to work even when I hate it.

But you know, Yuko.

When you have to do everything for yourself, it can get tiring.

You get lonely and you wish you had someone to live with.

Say, is there someone you think you'd like to marry?

There is...But we can't.

That's why I'm envious of you two.

Is this the table?

Yeah.

I can see how you want to lean on your former lover,

but it's best to tidy up all those old memories.

- This is fine, right? - Yes.

Good evening!

Hello!

Ah! Where's Mayumi?

Out shopping.

I was baking this quiche and it made me a late. I'm sorry.

And I had this champagne and caviar!

That's great!

Good evening!

Hello!

Some chirashi sushi.

- Oh, thank you so much. - I helped making it.

- Me, too! - You both did well!

- You want to come and help me? - Yes!

Yuko, you haven't met Mr. Sawamura yet.

From my husband's bank.

How do you do. I'm Mrs. Konishi.

And I'm Sawamura.

Let me help you.

Where's Risa?

Oh, yes...

Where's Risa today?

Mayumi invited her, but she had another event.

She's missed a lot of work recently. Some emotional shock.

Now, let's all help!

Ta da! I brought the young lady!

Risa! I thought you had another event.

I found her at the convenience store and dragged her along.

Huh? Where's Itchan?

Not here yet.

Shall we call his cell phone?

Oh, please! You think he carries one?

Come inside.

Come on, Yuko.

Will you lend me your phone a minute.

Who are you gonna call?

Well...

I know: your wife. Forget it! I won't lend it to you.

I've really got something I need to get home for.

You're leaving already?!

You see...

If you leave, I'll tell everybody about that night.

Don't do that! At least, not about that!

I wonder how many people here came to see our play?

Hmmm. There's probably at least one.

I wonder if he'd recognize that you were MacBeth.

I wonder.

Of all the actors I've worked with, you're the best.

Huh?

That's why I want you all to myself.

I'm so sorry! Here, everyone has arrived but the main man!

Shall we start?

Yeah! Why don't we?!

Yes, let's!

Let's have a toast to our shop, everyone's health, and Oyabu Joji!

Cheers!

- Thank you. - Kenta!

Kenta! Don't touch things. Come back in here.

Miss Risa, I made this myself.

Did you! What a good cook!

Look.

Thank you.

Mr. Sawamura, you sure don't act like a banker to me.

I've never seen such a good-looking banker!

Oh, please! Don't tease me.

Come, let us cut your hair next time!

Hey, will you let me cut your hair?

- What? - Your craftmanship is still being honed.

- But I'm not qualified to laugh at others. - That's right!

But I will be ready soon.

Thank you!

Oh! I went to see it! "Sweet November!"

The movie.

- I got some tickets from Mr. Sawamura. - Really?

He was going to go with his girlfriend, but she dumped him!

Hey, don't say that in front of everybody!

No worries!

Was it good?

It was great! I got all weepy when...Um...Keanu Reeves...

- Saw the proposal! - I cried, too!

Did you see it, too?

- Yes. - You go to see love stories?!

Sure I do!

But I wish I'd gone with a girlfriend.

I'll go with you next time!

Me, too!

But where on earth is that Itchan?

What is he doing?

- Hey, that koviar was really tasty. - Not koviar. It's called caviar.

Caviar?

Caviar, caviar.

I'm so sorry. Here you came to his party...

It was fun!

Give Ichiro our best.

Please do.

Good night!

- Bye. - Bye.

Shall we just finish cleaning up?

I'll be leaving, then.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Mr. Sawamura said he saw "Sweet November," too.

Yes...yes, he did.

I wonder if he has a girlfriend.

Why?

Well, he wouldn't go by himself,

and he wouldn't go with another guy.

Well, a man like him must have one or two girlfriends.

I wonder if it's the one he mentioned.

He said he had a woman he was in love with.

Dear Yu-chan. Are you feeling more calm about things?

I thought about calling, but decided to write instead.

After that, I spent a lot of time thinking.

Perhaps it's better that we don't see each other again.

That night that you came to my shop...

I didn't want to let you go home.

In my heart, I wanted you to stay with me forever.

But I couldn't do that.

I'm in the same situation as you.

If we hadn't met, my feelings wouldn't be so confused now.

But even though I say this, I can never forget you.

You see, you are the person too dear to me to ever forget.

A few days ago, I got an order for some work in Hokkaido.

It was from the owner of that lodge where you and I stayed.

I thought I'd go back to Asahikawa for a bit. Kenichi

Like a bubble that will burst at the slightest touch,

I am afraid to hold you in my arms.

A quiet love that never starts.

An eternal love that never ends.

Like a flower that withers when plucked from the bush.

I am afraid to pull you into my arms.

A quiet love that never starts.

An eternal love that never ends.

What did you want to talk to me about?

Once, you said to me that you came and waited here

because you might meet her by accident, didn't you?

That sometimes, you fall in love with someone you mustn't.

You were talking about Mama?

I have a favor to ask.

Please don't see her anymore.

Since I was involved with a married man, I have no right to talk,

but even though our family is living apart,

I still want Papa and Mama to be my parents.

So please! Don't see Mama any more.

Don't take my mama away from me.

I'm sorry...

But...

I don't mind if I lose everything over this.

From the first, I was prepared for this.

Why does it have to be my mother?

Yes?

Ah! Papa?...What is it?

Eh?

Something important to talk about? Now? Today?!

Look, Mom. I picked up a really big leaf.

I have a big one, too, but it's kind of shabby.

Ah! I found the stone.

Sorry to call you when you're so busy.

Hello!

Hello.

I read your letter.

I see.

I'm sorry about the other day, coming to your shop.

I was a little crazy that night. We'd had troubles at home.

But you made me realize something.

Eh?

Those kids are my present.

I have to take good care of the life I have now.

That's true.

It's no good to try to run away from the present.

So...

that's why I won't see you again.

Yeah.

Mama! Can we go over there?

Yes, but don't go too far!

Okay!

So, you're going to make furniture for that lodge?

Yes. I suddenly got a fax and was amazed.

I wonder what it's like now.

Take a look if it's the same as it used to be.

I'll write to you.

No. Better I don't recall all that.

I never thought that owner would give me an order.

After you saw the furniture there, your life changed.

It was our first trip together.

What?

That owner asked what kind of work you did!

He said I was a young wife,

and asked how many years apart we were.

And you got so mad. He thought we were married.

I was happy he thought so.

Song: Yumi Arai - Good Luck and Good Bye

natsukashii ano hito ni hitogomi no naka de atta I meet someone who used to be dear to me in the crowd

hohoemu kao ga sukoshi hanikamu no His smile is a little bashful

mukashi no mama da wa Just like it used to be

kizutsuita koi nanoni mou atokata mo nai no yo Though love hurt me, no traces are left of it anymore

guuzen' aetara nakidashichau to If we'd meet by chance, I'd burst into tears

omotte ita noni That's what I thought

SHOU WIN'DOU wo yokome de mireba Casting a sideways glance at the show window

machiawase shita koro wo omou kedo I think about when we first met

furikaeru oodoori ano hito ni mieru you ni Looking back toward the street to see him

kon'da BASU no kumotta mado ni kaku I write on the cloudy window of the crowded bus

ookiku "Good luck and Good bye" In big letters: ""Good luck and Good bye"

ookiku "Good luck and Good bye" In big letters: ""Good luck and Good bye"

ookiku "Good luck and Good bye" In big letters: ""Good luck and Good bye"

Well, I have to be going.

- On a flight tonight? - Yes.

Shima-kun. Take care of yourself.

You, too.

Shima-kun?

Thank you! For the poem.

Well, then...

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

Look, I'm on the 16:00 o'clock bullet train, so I have to go.

What?! Together?! Look, I can't have that..!

Mayumi! What's up? Why aren't you at the shop?

Who were you talking to?

Um...nobody.

Itchan. What's wrong? You're so strange these days!

Yeah?

Theres no "yeah" about it!

We had that party and you didn't come home!

And there are strange women phoning here.

Strange women?

I mean Kaori!

Itchan, I really don't like you hiding things from me.

I'm not hiding anything.

Tell me what happened? I promise I won't get mad.

I'd rather hear, than have you hide it from me. We're married!

Come on, Itchan

Well...it just sort of...somehow... I sort of did it, it seems.

Eh?

Look! I don't remember any of it!

But she says it happened the night of our wrap party.

Get out.

Eh?

I want you out of here!

Well...

Well, I have to be going anyway.

No! Listen, Mayumi! What you're thinking isn't true!

I just...You see, I... You said you wouldn't get mad!

Mayumi, you got it wrong!

Mayumi, open the door!

Mayumi, listen to me!

Mayumi, open the door!

What does Papa want to talk about?

I don't know.

He said he's coming back here this evening.

That night...that you came to my shop...

I didn't want to let you go home.

In my heart, I wanted you to stay with me forever.

But I couldn't do that.

But even though I say this, I can never forget you.

You see, you are the person too dear to me to ever forget.

You see, you are

the person too dear to me to ever forget.

...the person too dear to me...

- You lost, Ken-chan. - Let's do it again.

Ken-chan, Momo-chan. Can I talk to you?

- Yeah? - What?

I have to leave the house for a while.

- Grandmother, we're leaving first! - Okay.

Your mother is not feeling well?

Yes, her blood pressure just suddenly took off.

I appreciate your looking after the kids.

It's almost scary how skillful a liar I have become.

Reiko. I'm a liar...a terrible mother...and wife.

But I cannot lie to my own heart any more.

With the man who told me he'd never forget me...

Considering nothing else at all...

Just together...together with Shima-kun.

I'm home.

Shima-kun!
