Original subtitles

Brother...

Kill me.

That’s right, not just yet.

Too soon, isn’t it?

It's so ridiculous that I can't even comment on it.

It only costs 30 million.

What's that?

Average amounts paid to railway companies by survivors of suicide jumpers.

Oh!

You're up to some dark stuff, aren't you?

Did you bother to find out?

It's easy to pay for it with papa's assets, isn't it?

Are you worth 30 million?

That's cheap.

Really?

Yeah.

Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

Well, people might think that.

My sister isn't that cheap.

Ah, let's get on.

LAST8 [EPISODE 3] The night I picked up love — I believe you

It's kind of peaceful, isn't it, the society?

The service here is really good.

I doubt anyone thinks we're thinking of anything fucked up or bad.

The people here.

Don't lump us together.

I just brought flowers.

But you didn't stop Rei-san, did you?

Because he won't stop.

Well, sure, there's a bit of momentum, isn't there?

This man has been lying and acting the whole time.

Continue, maybe.

But, you know, you can't fool women with lies alone.

Huh?

Women are deceived by Reiji

because they see a little bit of truth in his lies.

But that's also calculated by Reiji.

What do you mean?

That guy is a really cold and scary guy.

- Reiji-san... - Yes?

Are you sure?

Money for flowers in the garden?

Yes, it's a present from that Kiriko.

But it's our garden.

Our house--

Saki...

What you mean by "our house" is not your house.

I'm sorry.

Ako...

- Sakiko-san says so, but-- - Thank you for the meal.

There is still ham left.

I left it.

I'll take it then.

Ah, excuse...

Your plate is empty now.

To Kiriko-san...

Erm?

Leave me alone.

Speak for yourself.

She said she'd come again eventually.

Really?

I'm surprised.

Eh! Tableware?

I was a bit surprised too.

But she had it right.

There is that, though.

Ako-chan, you know,

she never lets anyone eat what she leaves behind.

It's like there's a strange fastidiousness about it.

I ate it before because I didn't want to waste it,

and she got really angry.

Almost flipping the table over.

What the hell is that?

That's strange, isn't it?

Right?

Family is different after all.

Reiji, I mean, he's a little pushy.

No, it's not.

That kind of Ako-chan...

I'm happy.

I'll bring you more rice.

Thanks

Good job, big brother.

Ako!

Come down and water the flowers.

Rei-san...

Ako-chan, she's not coming, is she?

I guess life is boring if you can't see it.

Naru... Naru!

Yes

It's a question.

Yes.

You gain when you can't see, you lose when you can see, what's that?

Hey, you can see? You can't see?

What is it?

There's no such thing.

We've already finished watering.

What the heck?

You should do it properly tomorrow.

Saki!

What is it, Ako-chan?

I'd like to read the rest of the story.

Ah. I'm sorry.

I'm asking Kaede-chan to continue where I left off last time.

Then call her to bring it to Nile Café.

Hurry up.

Yes?

Eh, I'm going out for a while.

What is it?

It's a Braille typewriter.

Oh...

Rei-san, that store...

But a Yokohama shop is also a thing, isn't it?

Hey, Rei-san, this is it.

A bit too youthful, I guess.

It's not bad, it's perfect.

Hey, Naru, you really go well with anything.

Ordinariness.

What are you talking about?

Rei-san, didn't we come here to choose clothes for you?

Ah?

You want me to go with you because of the clothes?

That's why you should buy some summer clothes for yourself, Rei-san.

Then, how about the usual place?

You know what, how much do you think the clothes in that shop cost?

You're in debt to the tune of 730 million.

Yeah, so?

So, you know, another million and two million more.

Together--

I told you, it's impossible to be yourself when you go to that shop.

- Miss! - Yes

This guy seems to buy a lot of clothes.

Thank you very much.

Oh, shouldn't this be the one?

- Rei-san, don't do this. - Oh, you wanted this one, right?

I'm sorry. I don't intend to buy these.

Oh, this is beautiful, isn't it?

I put it back. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Huh?

That person...

How can she buy anything if she can't see?

Ako-chan?

Oh, it looks like she's going with Kaede-chan to have her looked at.

See, Sakiko-san said that.

Oh, I get it.

But it sounds boring, you can't see it yourself.

Shopping, you know, is a girl's greatest pleasure.

Well, it can't be helped, she can't see it, can she?

I think it's this one.

That's enough--

I might like this.

Isn't this nice?

- Look! - Really?

[Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder]

Sorry for being late,

this is the last one.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way, I met your brother yesterday.

I mean, I just saw him.

Where?

A coffee shop along the Kotsubo coast.

Oh...

Kaede-chan was there too, in that shop?

No, I just went my way.

Was Ako-chan there by any chance?

Yes.

Did you?

I should have called out to you.

Your brother was with friends, though.

I felt kind of bad.

With friends?

Yes.

They were talking on the terrace.

Who's that?

You were together, right?

I don't know.

Thank you for waiting.

Ako, I put it in front of you.

No, thanks.

Blind girls, you know, I never knew them before in my life,

so I didn't think anything of it, but it's quite a challenge.

Rei-san, have you ever been with a woman like that?

Sounds nice.

By the way, Rei-san was dating Kiriko-chan's older sister.

Let's see, that's the only Shiori-san.

What kind of person was she?

I'm kind of thirsty.

Is that a coffee shop?

Welcome.

Ah...

brother.

- Ah, and you are... - Kaede-chan.

- Yes. - Eh?

When you say "brother", do you mean Ako-chan's brother?

You're right.

Hello!

Hello.

Ako, come here.

Brother is waiting here.

I'll make sure to get you, Ako.

Liar...

I see, so you live alone?

Yes, I stuck here when my father was transferred.

I have college to attend as well.

So you work here part-time at night?

Yes, Ako-chan often comes here too.

During the daytime, though.

She was with me earlier, you know.

But I feel like she got angry with me.

What? Did you get into a fight?

Um...

I thought maybe I said something bad.

Eh, what do you mean by bad?

Yesterday I was walking along Kotsubo coast and I saw you.

Eh?

What? You were there?

Yes.

I was just passing by there.

Oh, I see.

When I told her that her brother was with friends,

Ako-chan didn't know about that.

Yeah, me, I don't have any friends.

What, but with those guys?

Oh, you know what, now you mention it...

I was approached by a stranger.

"Are you local?" he asks.

You weren't friends with them?

I don't know them at all.

Oh no, what should I do?

I gave Ako-chan the wrong idea.

No, it's not a big deal, right?

Ako is very sensitive to that.

She believes she was the only one who was ignored because she's blind.

I believe she would think that way.

Kaede-chan, are you afraid of Ako-chan?

Eh?

It's like you're really freaked out, doesn't she?

Oh, that's not true.

We get along well.

What is this?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

That's why, Ako.

That was Kaede-chan's misunderstanding.

Hey! Are you listening to me?

You're the one doing the watering.

Ako!

Don't make a loud noise.

I can hear you, you know.

Yeah, if you can hear me, you know,

if Sakiko-san is there, come down and eat.

Kaede-chan's worried about you.

Why?

There's nothing to be worried about, though.

Don't make assumptions about people.

Then don't suddenly ask someone to kill you.

Don't say that.

Stop making capricious statements that leave people's imaginations wide open.

Hey Ako. You have half a bottle of water left.

Before you start talking big and giving fake concern,

try walking for ten seconds with your eyes closed on the main street.

It won't even last five seconds.

Is it really possible to do something so dangerous?

Hell no, it's scary.

Hey, Naru, still five seconds to go.

Oh my...

- Okay, one more time. - Still need to do it?

Let's go. One, two.

What's the point of grasping at me?

One...

So scary!

It's painful...

Ah, Ako-chan, we have just had lunch.

Hey, I'll do it all with my eyes closed.

I hit a telephone pole, though

When I opened my eyes, I found that shop.

In front of that shop, there's a display of music boxes.

I was told that you've been there a few times too.

The shop owner told me.

He said she had fixed the same thing.

I'm thankful. Mine is fixed.

Welcome--

Hi!

One red rose.

You know what it means, right?

19 July, the anniversary of her death, right, today?

Put it up in your sister's room.

Reiji doesn't care!

Why do all the women in this city...

like bad men?

What's wrong?

What? It's nothing.

- Hey Naru. - Yeah.

Give me money. Money.

- Again? - Yes

A brochure on life for the blind?

Yes, and when I looked at it,

there's a course on Braille, you know.

I'm going to enroll. That's why I need money.

Hey, is there an excuse for doing this?

There are less than two months to go to pay back the 730 million.

Is this the time to memorise Braille?

But...

Blind people are already in Braille, aren't they?

Saki!

Saki, come here for a moment.

What's wrong Ako-chan?

Oh my!

This is terrible.

Maybe it was a cat that did this?

All of them?

Huh, mostly.

It shouldn't be there.

Don't touch!

Really? I'll be there soon.

No, I'd appreciate someone with a hobby of flowers

or something like that.

It won't come off of my nails.

What? No...

It's just something under my nail.

See ya!

[Kurasaki Summer Festival 2002] [July 19 (Sat) 20 (Sun), Rokusho Shrine]

Okay, let's put it here.

Alright!

Here...

This is the last one.

Okay. Pass it to me.

Alright then.

Yep, it's done.

If you bury it well, you're good to go.

Thank you.

I'm glad though.

Eh?

You could have someone do it for you,

but you want to replant it yourself.

No matter what, he'll call me a hopeless person.

Reiji?

Yeah, I guess so.

Somehow, you two are totally getting along.

Naru, go and fill the watering can.

Okay.

Quickly!

Are you perhaps not good with boys?

I wonder if she's ever been in love or not.

Or that

she was hurt by love and turned timid.

No, I guess she didn't even get a chance for the hurting thing.

By the way, what do you think about Ako-chan and Igarashi-san?

Kiriko...

These are the kind of love stories that never end and only grow longer.

Go find out what her real intentions are.

So that's why you summoned Kiri-chan.

Don't get me involved.

What's with you? They could kill me, you know.

Don't say that.

You're heartless.

She wouldn't find out even if I died.

Don't say weird things Why I want to...

Hey Rei-san, why not the three of us...

Hey... I'm busy right now, So keep quiet!

What's that?

And have you already written her suicide note?

But, you know, I can't get over it.

About what?

Well, why hasn't she received Tamegoro's letters?

He really did send all those letters.

But you know what. It's a good thing that the letters weren't delivered.

So that's why we can stay there without being exposed, right?

Yeah.

You, as a phoney brother.

Ako, can I talk to you for a minute?

Hi!

What are you doing, reading another book?

What?

Yeah...

Tonight, there's a festival at the nearby shrine, so let's go.

You've always talked about going to the night fair since you were a kid.

- I'm not going. - Why?

I don't like places with lots of people.

It's okay.

You have a big brother with you.

Also, Kiriko will bring a yukata for you.

Don't decide on your own.

Why don't you just go on your own?

Wait a minute.

You know what.

This...

It seems you never received any of those letters from me.

Well, now the letter has finally arrived, sort of.

Hey...

Isn't that Igarashi-san?

It seems like we met earlier.

If it were me, I would say I'm busy.

Goldfish scooping...

Finally...

Looking on from the side...

It's all right...

I...

will always...

- Marriage? - Yes.

The president also

told me that he would talk about something like that eventually.

In other words,

he understood my feelings towards Ako-chan.

Well, what about Ako?

I want to cherish Ako-chan.

It's not about the company that the president asked me to run,

but as a man I want to cherish Ako-chan.

Is that?

Does that mean you love her?

Yes.

In what way?

Ako-chan is a fine lady.

You mentioned that you are going to Los Angeles in the near future.

I really wanted to tell you about it.

I was wondering if you could leave Ako-chan to me afterwards.

Thank you.

You're thinking of her that much.

What a pleasure to hear.

Thank you.

But, you know...

I wonder, what do you mean by marriage?

Eh?

Yeah, no.

Loving...

is a difficult thing to do, don't you know?

Which one?

This looks good on you, I guess.

Hey, you've been seen by someone, you know.

Will you stop wandering around so much.

If it's Kaede-chan, she'll be working part-time at Nile Café today,

so everything will be fine.

You know everything.

It's our job.

We are on the side of justice.

Here she comes.

Okay, Haruo-chan, this is for you.

Hey Reiji!

What a cute little thing.

Hey you...

Is it true what you wrote in that letter?

Yeah, it's true.

Okay.

Shall we go?

Ah, takoyaki, I want to eat takoyaki.

Takoyaki... takoyaki.

Hi welcome. It's 500 yen.

- 500 yen? - Yes.

Hey, is it really there?

- Here, thank you. - Thank you.

- I don't want. - Excuse me, sir.

She can't see. Can I get a few moments to guide her?

Oh, please.

The bouncy balls that you can feel here are spinning above the water line.

Okay?

Hold this.

Stop!

Okay, scoop it!

Ah, that's a pity.

- Another scooper, please. - Here you are.

Okay, scoop it!

Not again!

Ah, you almost got it.

Go!

Oh, again...

- Here you drink. Thank you. - Thank you.

It tastes good.

Ready? Hold this way.

If you shoot this way,

that caramel drinks will belong to you.

It's okay this way?

Okay, you can shoot now.

Ah, you miss the target.

Why do I miss? You said it was okay.

- You want another try? - Yeah.

- Ah, thank you. - You're welcome.

Ako, this is for you.

Hey, what a day today.

What?

Wait here. I'll be back in no time.

You fool!

I'm sorry!

Hey, if you're like this, she'll hate her brother again.

Especially after she looked like she was having a great time just now.

Sadness after having a good time...

is sadder than a series of sadness.

Knowing how to have fun, you know,

is actually a very hard thing to do.

If it gets even harder...

will she die?

Ako!

I'm sorry.

I'm a useless brother, aren't I?

The festival is already over.

It's all fine now.

I mean it.

Things mentioned in that letter.

I really mean it.

"From now on,

no matter what happens,

you'll always be found by me, your brother," you said.

"I've properly found you."

That's why I'm fine.

Hey...

What do you look like now?

Eh? Me?

Yeah.

How do I look?

Nothing changes.

Can I touch it?

Okay.

There are things you gain when you can't see, you know.

Just by touching like this.

I can feel your warmth.

It's like they're lovers.

Weird face.

What the hell is that?

That would be a bit rude.

Ah! You get serious.

I knew you had a weird face.

Why?

Oh, I have a bit of a headache.

But I'm okay.

Really. I'm fine.

Not that one, is it?

Maybe you've caught a cold.

Maybe.

Should we go back?

Okay?

Your hand.

One little step.

One more.

Another one.

That was it. Good.

Ah!

Eh?

Brother!

Yes.

It was fun.

Very much.

Really?

Let's go.

It was as calculated.

And yet, this slightly off-kilter feeling?

What's it?

What are you doing?

Hangover...

Kiri-chan drank a lot last night.

Huh, where's everyone else?

Hospital.

Ako-chan's complaining about headaches, or maybe a cold.

Since when?

Just now.

I have a really bad headache.

Really pain.

Where would you hide something important?

Ako-chan!

It's all okay, you know.

But you have to get checked properly by a doctor.

I'm okay.

Try to get some sleep.

Wait here.

Hey, what's going on?

Is there anyone here?

Eh?

There's no one here.
