1
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:23,357
What a surprise.
I didn't expect to see you here.

2
00:00:33,901 --> 00:00:36,937
<i>"World Music Entertainment Records."</i>

3
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:38,539
<i>An elite.</i>

4
00:00:38,606 --> 00:00:39,540
Email me sometime.

5
00:00:41,809 --> 00:00:42,743
See you.

6
00:00:50,451 --> 00:00:52,086
<i>What? They hugged?</i>

7
00:00:52,153 --> 00:00:54,655
<i>Like when you see an old friend.</i>

8
00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:59,293
In the movies, people go,
"Oh! It's been forever!" and hug.

9
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,228
Like those Hollywood movies?

10
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:02,563
Exactly.

11
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:06,167
Wait, so the guy Sae hugged
was a foreigner?

12
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:11,472
No, he was Japanese,
but he seemed Americanized or something.

13
00:01:12,907 --> 00:01:13,974
Oh!

14
00:01:14,041 --> 00:01:16,477
Tell me, was that guy handsome?

15
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:19,213
I don't think so.

16
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,649
Did he have an eloquent vibe?

17
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:23,551
I don't think so.

18
00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:26,153
Was he about 20 cm taller than you?

19
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:27,988
That's kind of insulting, Akane.

20
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:29,490
With this sweet smile.

21
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:31,292
No, nothing like that.

22
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:33,861
It must be him.

23
00:01:33,928 --> 00:01:36,464
Hold on, I just denied everything.

24
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:38,265
Yeah, but you're just jealous.

25
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:39,600
Who's jealous?

26
00:01:40,201 --> 00:01:42,269
He spoke in sign language, didn't he?

27
00:01:43,404 --> 00:01:44,438
Oh.

28
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:46,574
He did. He was pretty good.

29
00:01:47,475 --> 00:01:51,779
It must be the guy from Sae's orchestra
from when she studied abroad.

30
00:01:51,846 --> 00:01:52,780
Who?

31
00:01:53,481 --> 00:01:55,683
His name is Kakizaki. He was her senior.

32
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:57,685
An expert violinist.

33
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,620
Huh.

34
00:01:59,687 --> 00:02:02,623
She introduced me when I visited.

35
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:06,293
Did they date?

36
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:08,896
No, no way.

37
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:10,898
He had a girlfriend.

38
00:02:11,699 --> 00:02:15,069
Oh, but Sae idolized him.

39
00:02:15,569 --> 00:02:17,605
She wrote about him a lot.

40
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:21,709
She gave him chocolates for Valentine's.

41
00:02:22,443 --> 00:02:25,479
She gave Valentine's chocolates?

42
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:30,985
<i>He must have helped her a lot</i>
<i>when she lost her hearing.</i>

43
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,354
<i>He learned sign language with her.</i>

44
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:37,258
<i>He must have cared for Sae</i>
<i>like a little sister.</i>

45
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:40,394
<i>A little sister, huh?</i>

46
00:03:29,476 --> 00:03:30,978
I don't know.

47
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:33,147
Man, I'm famished.

48
00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:37,484
Hey, why are you sitting apart?

49
00:03:38,285 --> 00:03:39,220
Well…

50
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:43,991
Come on. Let's sit there
before it gets crowded.

51
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,195
Oof. Hey.

52
00:03:57,037 --> 00:03:59,573
There you all are. Everyone's here.

53
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,276
No one was in the lounge.

54
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:05,145
Oh, looks tasty.

55
00:04:05,646 --> 00:04:06,680
Oh…

56
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:08,582
Huh? What's wrong?

57
00:04:10,651 --> 00:04:12,753
We can do that now, right?

58
00:04:13,854 --> 00:04:16,824
I don't know what that means,
but that's bad manners.

59
00:04:17,558 --> 00:04:18,792
Okay then.

60
00:04:20,628 --> 00:04:23,597
Oh, about what you said the other day.

61
00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:26,567
I don't dislike you, so let's date.

62
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:29,903
You like me, right?

63
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:34,141
Huh? You said that you liked me.

64
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:36,610
That was a confession, right?

65
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:44,184
Oh…

66
00:04:47,021 --> 00:04:50,024
It's okay. Don't look at me like that.

67
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,826
As you all know,

68
00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:57,364
I, Keita Yashima, liked Akane Ozawa…

69
00:04:58,198 --> 00:05:01,101
but I was turned down.

70
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:02,936
So I've given up.

71
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:09,777
So I have no problem
with Shohei and Akane dating.

72
00:05:09,843 --> 00:05:11,845
I'm very, very happy, right?

73
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:20,187
Let's shake.

74
00:05:21,221 --> 00:05:22,856
Shake hands as friends.

75
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:24,024
Uh…

76
00:05:24,692 --> 00:05:27,561
Let's be friends like before and shake.

77
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:31,231
Okay.

78
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:57,057
Don't you have class?

79
00:05:58,125 --> 00:06:00,361
<i>My next is fourth period.</i>

80
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:01,862
I see.

81
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:05,499
My next is fourth period, too.

82
00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:06,967
<i>I see.</i>

83
00:06:08,502 --> 00:06:09,403
Hey.

84
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:11,171
<i>What?</i>

85
00:06:11,238 --> 00:06:12,773
Wait, forget it.

86
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:14,842
<i>What, what, what?</i>

87
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:16,610
<i>Don't you have something to tell me?</i>

88
00:06:16,677 --> 00:06:18,078
Not really.

89
00:06:18,145 --> 00:06:19,012
<i>Oh, come on.</i>

90
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:20,714
<i>Cat got your tongue?</i>

91
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:22,750
Then I'll say it.

92
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:27,721
You gave Valentine's chocolates
to a guy you idolized?

93
00:06:28,222 --> 00:06:31,058
You're like a girls' comic character.
So unlike you.

94
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:33,927
Ow!

95
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:38,298
Ow… There she goes,
resorting to violence again.

96
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:11,665
<i>Why did you come here, </i>senpai<i>?</i>

97
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:15,369
Don't call me "<i>senpai</i>,"
we're not in school anymore.

98
00:07:15,436 --> 00:07:20,340
I quit the violin.
I'm just a businessman now.

99
00:07:20,407 --> 00:07:22,342
<i>But your business card.</i>

100
00:07:22,409 --> 00:07:25,979
<i>World Music Entertainment Records.</i>

101
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:27,481
<i>That's amazing.</i>

102
00:07:27,548 --> 00:07:29,349
<i>Everybody knows them.</i>

103
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:32,786
<i>You'll always be someone I admire.</i>

104
00:07:34,221 --> 00:07:36,757
You're the only one who still says that.

105
00:07:42,463 --> 00:07:43,430
Hm?

106
00:07:45,232 --> 00:07:46,066
"My piano."

107
00:07:48,602 --> 00:07:50,304
"Did I play it well?"

108
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:51,572
<i>Exactly.</i>

109
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:53,273
You played it fine.

110
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:54,208
<i>Really?</i>

111
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:55,309
Really.

112
00:07:55,843 --> 00:07:59,680
I actually thought your ears
had recovered for a moment.

113
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:04,351
I see.

114
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:09,823
<i>Thank you for everything in America.</i>

115
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:13,760
<i>After I came back to Japan,</i>

116
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:18,232
<i>I went to see several doctors, but…</i>

117
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,801
I see.

118
00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:25,305
Sign language really sticks with you,
doesn't it?

119
00:08:27,875 --> 00:08:31,778
<i>Thank you for learning it for me.</i>

120
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:35,716
<i>Back then,</i>

121
00:08:35,782 --> 00:08:39,253
<i>if you hadn't been there,</i>

122
00:08:39,319 --> 00:08:43,090
<i>I would've been so alone.</i>

123
00:08:47,127 --> 00:08:48,729
I'm glad we could talk.

124
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:49,630
<i>Me too.</i>

125
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:51,899
Can I ask you out again?

126
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:54,868
Is that a problem?

127
00:08:57,070 --> 00:08:59,706
You never emailed me, so I was worried.

128
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:02,142
<i>That's not it.</i>

129
00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:04,011
<i>That's not it, but</i>

130
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:07,114
<i>I didn't have the courage to email.</i>

131
00:09:09,283 --> 00:09:12,920
<i>I feel uneasy… around men.</i>

132
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:14,721
<i>Ever since my hearing went.</i>

133
00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:17,224
<i>It's like my heart went numb.</i>

134
00:09:17,291 --> 00:09:18,992
<i>Like it's being squeezed.</i>

135
00:09:20,794 --> 00:09:21,662
<i>But,</i>

136
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:24,831
<i>that's not what you're after, right?</i>

137
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:27,534
<i>The sort of man and woman…</i>

138
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:29,436
<i>That sort of thing.</i>

139
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:35,642
Actually, I am interested
in that sort of thing.

140
00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:38,979
Uh…

141
00:09:43,884 --> 00:09:48,422
<i>Listen, Kai.</i>
<i>I'm pretty sure they'll start dating.</i>

142
00:09:49,489 --> 00:09:52,726
<i>You're not like you seem at first, Akane.</i>

143
00:09:52,793 --> 00:09:53,660
<i>Huh?</i>

144
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:57,965
Talking about dating
and going after Shohei and all.

145
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:01,201
Let's forget about me.

146
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:04,738
Are you fine leaving Sae alone like that?

147
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:09,276
There's no fine or not.
Congratulations are in order.

148
00:10:09,343 --> 00:10:11,511
Whoa. A mature response.

149
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,750
I mean, he's a nice guy, isn't he?

150
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:19,086
Hm? You mean Kakizaki?

151
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,557
Hmm. He seemed like a nice guy.

152
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,894
Then it's fine. What's the problem?

153
00:10:28,729 --> 00:10:29,863
I guess so.

154
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:32,165
Now you're suddenly against him?

155
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:38,438
Well, ever since Sae lost her hearing,
she's been really conscious about it.

156
00:10:39,573 --> 00:10:41,775
Do people really care?

157
00:10:41,842 --> 00:10:42,976
Huh?

158
00:10:43,043 --> 00:10:45,379
Do guys care about that?

159
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:48,148
Most guys usually do.

160
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:52,152
I guess that's what makes you different.

161
00:10:52,953 --> 00:10:53,954
You think so?

162
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:56,023
That was a compliment.

163
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:57,824
Thank you.

164
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:02,362
That's why I thought it'd be you.

165
00:11:02,429 --> 00:11:03,263
Huh?

166
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:08,301
I'm always with Sae, but it can't be me.

167
00:11:09,436 --> 00:11:10,404
What do you mean?

168
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:13,173
Some things don't work between women.

169
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,308
Every woman's heart…

170
00:11:16,076 --> 00:11:18,412
has a need that only a man can fulfill.

171
00:11:19,813 --> 00:11:20,781
I guess.

172
00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:24,818
I thought you'd be the one.

173
00:11:27,254 --> 00:11:28,555
You assume too much.

174
00:11:29,456 --> 00:11:30,824
Too much?

175
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,026
I can't be the one for her.

176
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:37,397
She needs someone older like him
to accept her.

177
00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:41,435
Just liking her isn't enough for her.

178
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,237
So you do like Sae?

179
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,774
Who can say?

180
00:11:48,642 --> 00:11:50,777
The answer is blowing in the wind.

181
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:52,379
What's that?

182
00:11:52,913 --> 00:11:53,980
Wasn't there a song?

183
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,817
WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON FOR SOYOKO SAEKI.

184
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:08,929
You surprised me. It's you.

185
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:11,098
<i>Her.</i>

186
00:12:11,164 --> 00:12:13,300
<i>She's your girlfriend, right?</i>

187
00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:15,035
My girlfriend?

188
00:12:17,671 --> 00:12:18,605
No, she's not.

189
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,113
What's wrong?

190
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:28,315
Are you okay?

191
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:40,761
Did you twist something?

192
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:43,497
Are you okay?

193
00:12:48,001 --> 00:12:49,136
<i>About her…</i>

194
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,239
The girl in the magazine.

195
00:12:52,739 --> 00:12:54,875
She's a pretty famous model.

196
00:12:57,644 --> 00:12:58,879
I thought…

197
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:02,015
I thought dating someone like her,

198
00:13:02,082 --> 00:13:06,853
would make me feel
a little more upper-class or something.

199
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:10,991
You know…

200
00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:16,029
Like it would feel like I have something
when I really don't.

201
00:13:17,397 --> 00:13:20,000
I don't have anything like you do.

202
00:13:20,934 --> 00:13:22,035
Like your music.

203
00:13:26,273 --> 00:13:27,140
Photography?

204
00:13:28,742 --> 00:13:30,277
I'm no good.

205
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:34,781
My boss even said I don't have talent.

206
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:39,519
Hm?

207
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:43,690
"Why"…

208
00:13:44,925 --> 00:13:45,926
"I"…

209
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:50,897
Sorry.

210
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:00,207
"Honest"?

211
00:14:05,645 --> 00:14:07,080
Oh, I get it.

212
00:14:07,147 --> 00:14:08,248
Let's see…

213
00:14:08,315 --> 00:14:13,820
"Why are you so honest with me?"

214
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:17,190
Hmm…

215
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:19,125
Why is it?

216
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,696
Maybe because you don't talk.

217
00:14:24,698 --> 00:14:25,899
Are you mad?

218
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:31,338
Hmm…

219
00:14:32,272 --> 00:14:33,373
You know…

220
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:39,079
When people come at me,
I can't say what I really want to.

221
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,415
What I'm really feeling goes away.

222
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,152
And I can only think of snide remarks.

223
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:48,088
So I insult them.

224
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:54,261
And I'm left feeling all confused.

225
00:15:02,836 --> 00:15:04,804
IS THIS ABOUT AKANE?

226
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:15,982
IT'S NOT

227
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:18,018
YES IT IS

228
00:15:18,084 --> 00:15:20,186
I SWEAR IT'S NOT

229
00:15:27,494 --> 00:15:29,429
How about you?

230
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:36,703
I assumed that you'd end up dating Kai.

231
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,641
Now some other guy's shown up.

232
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:48,148
Huh? Everyone in the Orange Group
is talking about it.

233
00:15:52,652 --> 00:15:56,056
Is he a better choice than Kai?

234
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,762
<i>-With Kai…</i>
-Yeah?

235
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:07,267
<i>He doesn't really</i>
<i>see the two of us that way.</i>

236
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,269
As man and woman?

237
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,508
Well, how about you?

238
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:21,147
<i>-To be honest…</i>
-Yeah?

239
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:23,550
<i>I don't know.</i>

240
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:26,419
<i>He's too close to me.</i>

241
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:28,555
<i>So I lose perspective.</i>

242
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:31,758
You're pretty honest, Sae.

243
00:16:33,526 --> 00:16:34,527
<i>-Hey.</i>
-Hm?

244
00:16:34,594 --> 00:16:38,031
<i>Everybody's learning sign language.</i>

245
00:16:38,698 --> 00:16:40,900
It's pretty fun once you get started.

246
00:16:42,402 --> 00:16:47,474
<i>When we're talking in the lounge,</i>
<i>you all use sign language.</i>

247
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,875
<i>Why is that?</i>

248
00:16:48,942 --> 00:16:53,213
Well, it wouldn't be fun for you
to feel left out, would it?

249
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:54,247
Akane suggested it.

250
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:58,051
"Let's all use sign language
where we can."

251
00:16:58,618 --> 00:17:00,253
I said it. So what?

252
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,093
I shouldn't be considerate?

253
00:17:07,627 --> 00:17:13,133
I mean, if you were American
and we could all speak English,

254
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:15,168
I'm sure we would.

255
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:19,539
It's not different.

256
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,677
I thought you wouldn't like it
if you couldn't understand us,

257
00:17:24,744 --> 00:17:27,981
so I said we should
use sign language where we can.

258
00:17:28,048 --> 00:17:30,116
Was that such a bad thing?

259
00:17:31,184 --> 00:17:32,619
You're so selfish.

260
00:17:32,685 --> 00:17:39,225
You say you don't want pity.
That you'd rather die than be pitied.

261
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:44,230
But you get annoyed
when people don't pay attention to you.

262
00:17:46,066 --> 00:17:47,267
<i>That's not true.</i>

263
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:49,903
That's not, not true!

264
00:17:49,969 --> 00:17:53,106
You're always sparkling like a star,

265
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:56,876
and I'm left beside you,
the darkness amplifying your light.

266
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,915
<i>You're one to talk!</i>

267
00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:03,183
<i>Take Keita.</i>

268
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:05,285
<i>He was interested in me first.</i>

269
00:18:05,351 --> 00:18:07,687
<i>Then he switched over to you.</i>

270
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:12,158
What? You don't even like Keita!

271
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:13,893
<i>You don't like him either!</i>

272
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,995
That's right, I don't!

273
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:23,203
Then let's stop fighting over
a boy we don't even like.

274
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,738
<i>Yeah… but…</i>

275
00:18:26,673 --> 00:18:28,174
And what about Shohei?

276
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:29,742
<i>What?</i>

277
00:18:30,944 --> 00:18:32,412
Nothing.

278
00:18:32,479 --> 00:18:33,580
<i>What?</i>

279
00:18:33,646 --> 00:18:35,381
<i>Saying things so I don't understand.</i>

280
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:36,916
<i>-You're so disingenuous!</i>
-What?!

281
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:38,785
-What about…
-You two.

282
00:18:38,852 --> 00:18:40,720
Class is starting.

283
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:41,788
Yes, ma'am.

284
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:52,298
Here.

285
00:18:54,067 --> 00:18:56,569
Where are you going all dressed up?

286
00:18:59,339 --> 00:19:00,306
<i>No thanks.</i>

287
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:01,708
<i>I'm not hungry.</i>

288
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:02,942
Oh.

289
00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:05,378
<i>I think</i>

290
00:19:05,445 --> 00:19:07,113
<i>I'm nervous or something.</i>

291
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:08,615
Because it's a date?

292
00:19:10,683 --> 00:19:11,751
Huh?

293
00:19:11,818 --> 00:19:14,854
<i>Do I look funny?</i>

294
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:18,525
Not at all. You did your best.

295
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:21,027
You couldn't look better.

296
00:19:21,528 --> 00:19:22,762
<i>Of course.</i>

297
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:24,731
<i>I'm super cute.</i>

298
00:19:25,465 --> 00:19:27,767
Who calls themself super cute?

299
00:19:29,135 --> 00:19:29,969
Huh?

300
00:19:30,036 --> 00:19:31,371
<i>What should I do?</i>

301
00:19:31,437 --> 00:19:33,573
<i>My heart's pounding.</i>

302
00:19:35,408 --> 00:19:36,843
Take a deep breath.

303
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,745
Also…

304
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:43,249
write "Taro Okamoto" in the air
and swallow it.

305
00:19:46,553 --> 00:19:49,155
Hold on. I'm joking.

306
00:19:49,222 --> 00:19:51,191
And that's not how that goes.

307
00:19:52,492 --> 00:19:54,060
<i>I guess so.</i>

308
00:19:55,395 --> 00:19:59,199
You'll be fine. You'll relax
once you see your nice boyfriend.

309
00:20:01,601 --> 00:20:05,038
Here. How's this for good luck?

310
00:20:05,738 --> 00:20:09,142
Today Sae is perfectly cute.

311
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:10,577
Where's the date?

312
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:13,513
<i>Tokyo Tower…</i>

313
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:15,148
<i>Roppongi Hills…</i>

314
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:17,016
<i>Basically around there.</i>

315
00:20:17,517 --> 00:20:22,622
You're so cute, Tokyo Tower
and Roppongi Hills will collapse.

316
00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:26,826
Also… if possible,

317
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:31,831
try to tone down
your usual foul mouth and insults.

318
00:20:32,865 --> 00:20:34,601
<i>Anything else?</i>

319
00:20:35,101 --> 00:20:36,302
What else…

320
00:20:37,003 --> 00:20:39,505
I could probably list hundreds of things.

321
00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:41,574
<i>Forget it.</i>

322
00:20:41,641 --> 00:20:44,811
<i>I don't have time for all of that.</i>

323
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:48,248
He's picking you up at 3 p.m., right?

324
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:49,549
He's probably here.

325
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,921
Well. Good luck to you.

326
00:21:27,353 --> 00:21:28,955
<i>What's up?</i>

327
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:35,328
<i>Are you</i>

328
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:36,729
<i>okay with this?</i>

329
00:21:38,865 --> 00:21:40,533
<i>With what?</i>

330
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:46,172
<i>With me</i>

331
00:21:46,239 --> 00:21:50,043
<i>liking someone else.</i>

332
00:21:50,109 --> 00:21:51,678
<i>You won't mind?</i>

333
00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:57,817
<i>Even if I</i>

334
00:21:57,884 --> 00:22:00,553
<i>should go away.</i>

335
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,255
<i>You won't mind?</i>

336
00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:47,734
It looks like he's here.

337
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:00,279
For now…

338
00:23:01,247 --> 00:23:02,615
when you're with him…

339
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:06,586
try not to throw your shoes.

340
00:23:37,917 --> 00:23:42,021
<i>She always grabs onto</i>
<i>the corner of my heart.</i>

341
00:23:43,222 --> 00:23:44,657
<i>And pulls it with her.</i>

342
00:23:45,658 --> 00:23:46,759
<i>She doesn't let go.</i>

343
00:23:48,394 --> 00:23:53,332
<i>And as she continues to pull,</i>
<i>my heart aches a bit.</i>

344
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:56,269
So beautiful!

345
00:23:57,069 --> 00:23:58,638
This feels great!

346
00:24:01,507 --> 00:24:03,409
Can I ask you out again?

347
00:24:08,714 --> 00:24:10,249
Can I ask you out again?

348
00:24:12,852 --> 00:24:14,987
<i>That's fine.</i>

349
00:24:15,488 --> 00:24:18,157
If it's a problem, let me know.
Do you have a boyfriend?

350
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:22,695
Thank goodness. I'm safe.

351
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:28,634
I was always interested in you
ever since we were in America.

352
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:30,102
<i>Really?</i>

353
00:24:30,169 --> 00:24:31,270
I mean it.

354
00:24:31,771 --> 00:24:35,608
But I had a girlfriend
and you were this unattainable flower.

355
00:24:36,542 --> 00:24:38,744
I mean, you were so pretty.

356
00:24:38,811 --> 00:24:40,513
And you're even more pretty now.

357
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,249
So I asked you out.

358
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,819
<i>My…</i>

359
00:24:46,886 --> 00:24:49,789
<i>My ears can barely hear anything.</i>

360
00:24:49,856 --> 00:24:52,391
<i>Are you sure?</i>

361
00:24:52,892 --> 00:24:55,394
It doesn't matter. You're still you.

362
00:24:56,229 --> 00:24:59,699
Remember when you gave me chocolates?

363
00:24:59,765 --> 00:25:00,800
For Valentine's.

364
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:06,272
I felt so giddy inside.

365
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,409
Back then… there was a lot going on.

366
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:12,778
I couldn't really say it, but…

367
00:25:13,546 --> 00:25:14,547
to be honest…

368
00:25:15,248 --> 00:25:16,382
I liked you.

369
00:25:19,118 --> 00:25:21,254
And even now…

370
00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:23,289
I still like you.

371

372
00:25:32,632 --> 00:25:33,533

00:25:34,267 --> 00:25:35,735

374
00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:40,673
Oh, she's usually
with some boys over there.

375
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:41,707
Thank you.

376
00:25:43,009 --> 00:25:46,045
You're so cool, Kai. Look this way!

377
00:25:46,112 --> 00:25:48,848
Hey. Is Sae Hagio here?

378
00:25:49,782 --> 00:25:52,018
No. Not right now.

379
00:25:52,084 --> 00:25:53,553
Hmm.

380
00:25:54,921 --> 00:25:57,290
Tell me… is she pretty?

381
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:00,860
Well… yeah, she is.

382
00:26:01,527 --> 00:26:02,895
Who are you?

383
00:26:03,462 --> 00:26:04,497
Don't mind me.

384
00:26:05,298 --> 00:26:06,699
Sorry to bother you.

385
00:26:09,101 --> 00:26:10,036
What was that?

386
00:26:10,102 --> 00:26:11,837
I dunno. But she was pretty.

387
00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:19,812
Change that cutesy ringtone.

388
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:22,081
Hello?

389
00:26:22,848 --> 00:26:24,984
Oh, Yuji! Been a while.

390
00:26:27,353 --> 00:26:28,254
What?

391
00:26:28,821 --> 00:26:29,655
What?!

392
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:32,224
What's up?

393
00:26:33,859 --> 00:26:35,928
My dad collapsed.

394
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:42,435
Your photo and some recordings.

395
00:26:43,502 --> 00:26:47,940
A portrait photo of you
and recordings of you playing.

396
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,044
<i>Sure.</i>

397
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,980
<i>Why?</i>

398
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:55,781
Well, because…

399
00:26:56,849 --> 00:27:01,487
I want to see you even when we're apart,

400
00:27:01,554 --> 00:27:04,490
and I want to hear your piano.

401
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,995
I got a call from Keita.

402
00:27:09,061 --> 00:27:11,263
They said it's cancer,

403
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:14,400
but it's in its early stages
so they can operate.

404
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:19,005
The operation's next week,
so Keita'll come back after that.

405
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:24,110
What's with all of you?

406
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:27,813
It's good news. Smile a little more.

407
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:41,761
<i>I'm not used to this sort of thing.</i>

408
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:43,663
<i>I'm nervous.</i>

409
00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:47,533
I'm actually pretty nervous, too.

410
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:51,937
What wine, sir?

411
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:55,741
Uh, maybe something with a little weight.

412
00:27:55,808 --> 00:27:56,876
Very good, sir.

413
00:27:57,610 --> 00:27:58,678
Are you cold?

414
00:27:58,744 --> 00:28:01,313
You had a shawl, didn't you?

415
00:28:02,381 --> 00:28:04,850
<i>I left it in the car.</i>

416
00:28:05,351 --> 00:28:06,552
The car?

417
00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:08,020
Want me to go get it?

418
00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:10,022
<i>No, that's okay.</i>

419
00:28:10,089 --> 00:28:11,190
<i>You're busy.</i>

420
00:28:12,224 --> 00:28:13,693
<i>Give me the key.</i>

421
00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,327
The key…

422
00:28:15,394 --> 00:28:16,429

423
00:28:42,621 --> 00:28:43,456
PROPOSAL

424
00:28:43,522 --> 00:28:47,126
"THE DEAF BEAUTIFUL PIANIST SAE HAGIO
MAKES A STRIKING DEBUT!"

425
00:28:55,201 --> 00:28:58,404
<i>"In the music business</i>
<i>that's becomes more severe,</i>

426
00:28:58,471 --> 00:29:02,041
<i>Sae Hagio is the perfect resource</i>
<i>for gaining attention."</i>

427
00:29:03,042 --> 00:29:05,244
<i>"Hard of hearing, but an expert pianist."</i>

428
00:29:06,378 --> 00:29:10,282
<i>"Visually, she obviously would be</i>
<i>described as beautiful."</i>

429
00:30:06,338 --> 00:30:09,909
It's going well. One more push.

430
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:12,144
I know I can convince her.

431
00:30:12,211 --> 00:30:15,414
I've got several productions lined up
who want to work with her.

432
00:30:15,481 --> 00:30:17,249
Tread carefully.

433
00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:23,355
I couldn't see her in person,
but her photos look good.

434
00:30:23,889 --> 00:30:25,991
The chief seems pretty interested, too.

435
00:30:26,058 --> 00:30:28,360
Okay. In that case…

436
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:34,266
I'll call you back. Okay.

437
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:42,141
What's wrong? You look angry.

438
00:30:45,911 --> 00:30:47,413
<i>You lied to me!</i>

439
00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:50,716
I didn't lie. You're overreacting.

440
00:30:50,783 --> 00:30:53,018
<i>It was all a lie!</i>

441
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:54,353
<i>You're the worst.</i>

442
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:57,656
Let's not do this here.

443
00:30:57,723 --> 00:31:00,492

445
00:31:10,202 --> 00:31:13,072
This could be good for you.

446
00:31:13,873 --> 00:31:16,542
It can't be easy with your condition.

447
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:18,844
You can't get a full-time job.

448
00:31:21,313 --> 00:31:22,948
This is an opportunity.

449
00:31:23,849 --> 00:31:25,484
You get to debut.

450
00:31:26,218 --> 00:31:28,954
You can release your own album.

451
00:31:32,324 --> 00:31:35,194
I mean, it's not a sure thing yet.

452
00:31:35,961 --> 00:31:38,430
I'm discussing it with my superiors.

453
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:42,234
Well? Let's work together.

454
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:47,806
<i>I don't intend to market</i>
<i>my own disability!</i>

455
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:53,212
<i>You've really changed, haven't you?</i>

456
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:57,149
<i>Tell me.</i>

457
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:03,055
<i>Is this why you approached me?</i>

458
00:32:08,127 --> 00:32:09,228
I'm sorry.

459
00:32:12,765 --> 00:32:16,835
Things aren't going well at work.

460
00:32:18,370 --> 00:32:19,972
With how things were going…

461
00:32:21,807 --> 00:32:23,909
I was on the chopping block.

462
00:32:26,145 --> 00:32:26,979
That's why…

463
00:32:28,347 --> 00:32:29,915
when I saw you…

464
00:32:32,885 --> 00:32:35,788
I thought, "This just might work."

465
00:32:37,523 --> 00:32:38,991
"I can pitch this."

466
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:43,696
So I hatched… that underhanded scheme.

467
00:32:51,503 --> 00:32:56,008
<i>Lastly, can I ask one more thing?</i>

468
00:33:01,513 --> 00:33:06,418
<i>When you said you liked me,</i>

469
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,153
<i>were you lying?</i>

470
00:33:15,127 --> 00:33:16,261
I'm sorry.

00:46:28,753 --> 00:46:30,021
What do you mean, "pass"?

551
00:46:30,789 --> 00:46:31,756
So that's that.

552
00:46:31,823 --> 00:46:35,760

Sae!
