Original subtitles

Even though the seasons have changed, we still have herring.

I guess that's not bad.

By the way, where's Hiroto?

I guess he overslept.

Just working a little late last night and he does this?

Hey Hiroto!

Hiroto! What time you intend to sleep 'til! You'll be late for school!

Morning

What do you mean morning? Hurry up and go wash your face.

You were the last one that took a bath last night weren't you?

For heaven's sake clean up after yourself!

In this house the last one that takes a bath cleans up the bathroom!

As punishment, you clean it up tonight you hear?

Having to say the same thing everyday, it really is annoying.

Really.

Ah, I'm late!

Chika-chan. Umm...

Seconds please.

What? Seconds please.

I'll get it myself. get it myself.

We started without you, go have breakfast.

Hurry up and eat!

Ok.

Sit down and eat! What are you doing?

Hey, what are you suppose to say?

Thanks for the food.

You're getting pretty good at that.

Think so?

You remember what you did over the summer huh?

But getting praised by you is a little strange.

You're doing good.

Do the same with the customers ok?

I will.

That's great. I will.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Hiroto, did you go to school today?

You didn't cut school?

Really?

Chika, shouldn't you trust Hiroto a little?

I believe in Hiroto himself. I just don't believe in what he says.

She's a little intense. Was she always like that?

No, just recently.

Well, they say that when a woman becomes a mother

she gets much stronger but then again, that's a little unfair to you.

But what Chika says...

But if you just give in to her all the time she'll get conceited.

Understand? Women and men...

Oni-chan! Understand? Women and men...

Yes? Understand? Women and men...

Yes?

How on earth do you expect the clothes to dry like this? I told you to hang them up properly didn't ?

I have to do everything over again!

Sorry! I'm sorry!

What are you laughing at?

Hello, this is Shinoda Cycle.

Ah Yuki. You're the voice I wanted to hear.

Visit us in #Japan-TV @ Aniverse & ETG

I can't go to the volunteer session today.

Eh? How come?

Well...

Well what?

I'm not feeling too good so I took the day off.

Are you ok?

This is the Shinoda special mabo tofu. It's really good.

I look forward to it.

You should stay in bed, when I'm done let you know.

I'm fine. It's just a cold and the fever's gone down already.

Really?

Alright then.

Smell's good. So you're not just good at nabe.

But of course! I can cook anything!

If you're ever feeling sick, just let me know. I'll come cook for you.

You really like to look after people.

That's not true, I'm just doing what I want to do.

And that's looking after people.

Oh. I see.

Ok, and after that to add toubanjan or is it tenmenjan? Which is it?

Nothing. May I use the phone?

I'll just reconfirm with Chika.

Hello Chika, it's me. Yuki's fine.

I just need to ask you something. Adding toubanjan...

Does that come before adding the tofu or after?

I can't hear you. What are you cooking, tempura?

Walk out of the kitchen for a second.

I'm just asking if I should add the toubanjan before or after the tofu?

Of course it's before.

I see, I see. Ok, ok. Big ok.

What's with the big ok?

Da... I mean, Katase-san.

Welcome home.

I'm back.

I can't talk to you right now, I'll talk to you later.

Eat it while it's still hot.

You're really not going to eat with us?

It's rare that your father's home so early.

It's better if I'm not around.

Natsuo, you're leaving already?

I've still got work to do at the store so I have to go.

That's unfortunate. I thought we'd eat together.

Is that ok Dad?

Of course. But it's unfortunate that Natsuo's still got to work. Good bye.

Good bye.

I'm leaving then.

Hang in there.

I will. Bye.

What do you mean hang in there. I'm done with work today.

Shouldn't you go see the doctor tomorrow?

I've got my regular checkup coming up anyway.

Even so...

I know myself if I'm ok.

But...

Try this. It's delicious.

It is good

Isn't it?

A guy who can cook these days isn't bad.

Even if it's good, it's still not as good as my cooking.

I still haven't agreed to you going out with Natsuo.

That seems to be your favorite phrase lately.

Is that so?

Here.

I'm done with the bath, whoever's next.

Then I'll go.

Hiroto, aren't you suppose to be last so you can clean up the bathroom?

Yes.

Chika-chanHiroto works pretty late in the store after school.

He's got all that oil on him too.

That's right. I'll go last today so I'll do it.

A promise is a promise.

It's mine.

This phone is not in use.

What are you doing?

Chika, isn't that from Hiroto's friend?

Oni-chan. Do you know what Hiroto's phone bill was last month?

It was three times the rest of us combined!

Three times?

I'm sorry.

We haven't got any money.

For the sake of Jun-nichan's college fees and having the baby,

I'm keeping the phone.

Eh? I need that!

No way. Eh? I need that!

No way.

I can't keep in touch with my friends.

Then don't.

Please, give it back.

No.

Chika, aren't you being too hard on Hiroto?

Chika, give it back to him.

Ok, then in return your pocket money will be halved starting next month.

Hiroto, may I suggest that you start writing letters?

It's not too bad.

I've had my bath.

You sure took a long time in the bath.

Yeah, did what Chika wanted and cleaned up the bathroom.

Come sit over here.

Chika's my sister, my precious sister.

But if you carry on like this, you'll be under Chika's control forever.

Yeah.

For a guy that's pathetic. Do you know what it means to be a man?

I don't know.

A man is one that a woman depends on, looks up to

There's a saying. Men are ships, women are ports.

After travelling the seven seas thus getting tired, a woman is there to say

"Welcome home, how about a meal? How about a bath?"

So why on earth are you washing the bathroom?

guess you're really tired out.

You did well, Yukari-chan.

Welcome back.

What you said, to meet again, I kept my promise.

You certainly did. It's great the surgery was a success wasn't it?

God was watching over me.

Let's go back, please.

Let's go inside.

Oni-chan.

Will you give me a ride on your shoulders again?

Of course!

Seiji, it's been hard on you.

Yukari's fine now.

Her progress after the surgery's been really good as well.

Can I talk to you?

Yes.

To tell you the truth, I had hoped that it would be you returning home today.

Don't talk about that anymore.

I guess I shouldn't. No point bringing it up now.

I don't regret it

Seeing Yukari returning home fine today. I really feel that.

It's your turn next, Yuki.

There's a good chance that you can have the surgery in this country.

I think you should get yourself prepared for that.

do my best to help you.

Thank you.

Yuki-chan.

What do you really think of me?

I think I have to make things clear with you.

....

I know. I...

The one in your heart right now isn't me.

But I know that I am someone that you'll need.

The one that will protect you isn't him. It's me.

Hey.

Hm?

What did he say?

Oh, Seiji-san?

Nothing in particular.

Really?

But he likes you, doesn't he?

Didn't he say anything at all?

If you don't say anything then it'll really bother me!

Ah.

A bug.

A bug? Where?

Don't say it's a jealous bug

can't?

Of course not! In the first place that kind of bug doesn't exist! What are you saying?

I was thinking that it would be nice to eat out with you once in a while

but Chika's been reducing my pocket money.

Would you mind just having dinner at home?

Don't worry about it.

Sorry. I'm...

Stop that already! Why won't you listen?

You're not getting away with it!

Alright, apologize. I'm sorry. You're not getting away with it!

Alright, I'll apologize. I'm sorry.

This isn't about apologizing! It's pathetic having to repeat this over and over!

I'm really sorry.

What did he do this time?

Look at that.

You went and played pachinko again?

You really are good at pachinko.

Oni-chan. Cutting classes and running off to the pachinko parlor is not allowed.

But I haven't been in over a month!

So what?

Good evening.

Good evening.

You'll go back to loafing around in no time! Do you really think that's a good characteristic to have?

I have that sort of characteristic in me too.

Are you making fun of me?

And you've got that characteristic of being direct! Don't you think that playing pachinko

is a waste of time and money?

Jun, you're here.

Oh, welcome back

Sorry to be a bother.

Good evening

You're studying? Can you do that? It's really noisy here.

just take off my hearing aid.

Oh, I see.

Chika-chan, what about dinner?

I haven't made it yet!

But I'm hungry. My stomach's growlingGrowling.

Shall I make something? You cooked for me the other time.

Really? Then help. help.

I work hard everyday, what's wrong with taking a break once in a while?

Hiroto's finally retaliating today.

Everyday I go to school and help out at the store. Go to school and help out at the store.

That's all I do everyday!

So what? If you're that unhappy living here then get out!

Get out! Leave!

Why are you the one to tell me to leave? It should be Natsuo-san.

It should be Natsuo-san. Not you!

Hiroto's vocabulary is as pathetic as usual.

This is just like children quarreling

What shall I make?

Whatever you make is fine.

Really?

Anything's fine. Really?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Ok if take the tofu?

Sure

Yes?

I'm Katase from the Hikari Shinyo Kinko.

I'd like to introduce our new services to you.

I'm busy right now.

I see, then I'll just leave the brochures in your mailbox.

When you have time please read it.

Alright

I'm back.

Good job. These have to be completed by tomorrow.

Please.

Please help me with these. I've got something to do at 5 today.

Don't worry, help you until 5.

Gurunpa is a very big elephant. He lived alone all his life.

Natsuo-kun.

Yes?

There was another call from Yuki. She said she would be a while.

Looks like she has to work overtime.

see.

I heard from Shogo-san.

That you cooked for them the other day.

Oh, that was nothing.

The snow is melting.

The snow is melting?

Shogo-san sounded very happy when he spoke about it.

Really?

Shogo-san objected once so it's hard for him to say otherwise but

deep down, he's already accepted you.

Is that right?

The snow's melting, isn't it great Yukari-chan?

That's great.

Sorry I'm late.

It's ok. You had to work late didn't you?

Yeah

Don't overdo it.

It's ok. I'm fine.

Yukari-chan, how are you feeling?

I'm fine. I went for a walk this afternoon.

It was a nice day today, wasn't it?

Soon, I won't need the wheelchair anymore. Next time I'll walk on my own!

Then when Spring comes you can carry your backpack and go to school.

The doctor said that HI be able to run then.

And that I can even swim in the pool.

I see. You can even swim in the pool.

Yuki-chan, let's swim together.

I got a swimsuit today too.

That's nice.

Don't try too hard.

-Sorry I was late. But I'm alright.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Yukari-chan.

I can tell that seeing her healthy, you feel envious of her.

I'd be lying if I said that wasn't true.

But it's ok, I have you beside me.

Hey, I want to go to the ocean.

The ocean?

Yes, you haven't in a while right? You used to dive every Sunday.

No.

But your health.

It's ok. I'll just watch you dive.

It's boring just to watch.

It's not.

Really?

No, if your father finds out he'll get mad again.

The snow's melting as it is?

The snow's melting?

If you really want to go...

Ah yes. That place it's like the sea.

Welcome.

What are you doing?

Where's Chika?

She's not back yet.

That's great.

What did you do this time?

forgot to wash the bathroom again yesterday.

I did that for you. Otherwise you guys will be making all that noise fighting again.

Thank you very much.

But in exchange, I've got a favor to ask of you.

Can you look after the store today?

Well, it's Yuki.

A date?

Well, yeah.

That's great.

Yeah it is.

Yuki's great. A girl that's kind and considerate.

That's why we don't fight like you guys do.

I'm going to get changed.

Not like you guys.

Welcome.

Yo.

Can I have a word with you?

Yes.

Sorry to disturb you during work.

It's ok.

What I wanted to talk about was Yuki's health.

I'm also watching out for her.

Yuki once collapsed in front of you. She had an attack.

Yes.

Her illness hasn't gotten any better at all.

It keeps getting worse as time goes by.

Even with medication there's a limit.

The only way to save her is to have heart surgery.

I'll speak frankly.

Ever since she had that attack, she's gotten worse.

You still don't know how serious it is for her.

I'm very worried leaving her to you.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to break up with her.

Eh?

From a doctor's point of view, the chance of her living is higher.

Because of you, she'll only put her life in danger.

Excuse me!

I might not know anything about her illness.

But I understand what her feelings are!

Love can't save her! What can you do?

That one she needs isn't you. It's me.

It feels like we're really swimming in the ocean doesn't it?

Alight, let's swim. Like this.

Eh?

You're not swimming? Everyone here is swimming

Do I have to swim?

Well, stop breathing here.

Hi, I'm Seiuchi...

It looks like dolphins understand humans.

Yes, they do.

If I ever get reincarnated, I'd like to be a dolphin just like them.

They swim as much as they like, and get food easy.

And also no worries about being stopped for pocket money by Chika.

A dolphins life is the most splendid thing.

But then I'm sure those dolphins

would like to swim freely out in the ocean.

Thank you very much.

Thanks. Thank you very much.

Yuki.

Yuki are you alright? Are you feeling bad?

I was just tying my shoelaces.

You scared me.

Why are you so shocked by that?

No. I just thought that you had another attack. I got worried.

I'm just thinking about things.

Why I haven't been more careful about your illness.

Being inconsiderate.

You're always smiling so I sometimes forget that you're ill

Natsuo.

I don't know what to do at this time.

Why don't you quit your job? You had to work late the other night, it's tough on you isn't it?

And you have to go around distributing all those pamphlets.

That's not good for you.

If you feel bored at home all the time,

I can take you out.

I can't go to the ocean. I can't work. You're beginning to sound exactly like my father.

I'm just worried about you.

Just like my Dad.

But when I think about you,

if anything happens to you again, it's going to be really serious.

That's why you should take some care.

I said I wanted to take a risk!

That's why I tried to be brave.

But I didn't know about your illness then.

When I'm with you, I feel like I'm alive.

Just like normal, being happy, forgetting that I'm ill.

Why are you saying all this now?

But if something happens to you...

But if you're that worried about me all the time I'm not happy.

just want to be with you like normal. To go out with you just like other people.

But if that's the case,

you're being stubborn.

What's wrong with worrying about you?

You want to go to the ocean don't you? You want to go diving don't you?

But because of me you're holding back, going out with me.

I've become a burden to you.

You're not

I said I didn't want your pity didn't ?

Yuki.

You've got your regular checkup today haven't you? I'll wait until you're done.

It's ok, I can go alone.

Yuki

I can live normally just like everyone else. I don't need you to worry.

How are you going alone from here?

Why did you take 2 hours to do the deliveries?

You stopped by at the pachinko parlor again didn't you?

I didn't.

Then where did you go?

Welcome back, you're early.

Where's Yuki?

I sent her to the hospital. She has her regular checkup today.

You didn't wait for her?

I'm sorry!

If you've got something to say then say it!

Forget it! I'm doing things right!

You really don't understand anything!

Shut up! Think about the other person for a change!

Look, oni-chan's saying the same thing.

Chika! I'm talking about you!

Don't keep picking on Hiroto all the time!

Hiroto knows what he's suppose to do

and doesn't need you to tell him over and over again.

Besides he's already apologized to you! Right Hiroto?

You're being too concerned about him. It's good to be concerned but not to that extent!

If you keep picking on him he'll get tired of you!

If you're so overly concerned about him, he won't be happy at all!

Being so overly concerned about someone, won't be happy at all.

Being picked on for every little thing, one gets sick of it.

Oh yes. Yuki said the same thing.

Ok, I understand now.

understand now. Ok, ok. I'm going to take bath.

see, I see.

Oh yes, don't play too often.

get the point now.

Ah, welcome. Come sit down.

How have you been feeling lately?

Do you tire easily?

A little.

Any symptoms at all?

Nothing in particular.

Even if it's something insignificant.

For example, you've had heart palpitations and dizzy spells haven't you, Yuki-chan?

Hello?

It's me.

Natsuo.

I'm sorry about today.

No, I shouldn't have said all that. I understand how you feel.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm the one who's sorry.

I finally realized that I was being a nuisance.

Ah, how did your checkup go?

There's nothing wrong. I can continue like I have been.

see. That's great.

That's what you wanted to hear didn't you?

Well, yeah. But I'm really glad you're ok.

Hey.

still want to go to the ocean.

But, well...

I really want to see the ocean.

Please, take me there.

Ice, fireworks, juice, ok.

These please, how much is it?

Just a second.

Ah, sorry.

Yuki?

Hello, this is Katase.

Shogo-san? It's Sakurai.

I haven't been able to get through to you on your cell phone all nightAh, sorry.

Ah, sorry.

Have you heard from Yuki regarding her examination results?

No. What's wrong?

It's...

What did you say?

79-36 It's great, looking at the real ocean.

Yes. Feels great.

Why don't you go in for a dive?

No, it's ok. I'll just sit here with you.

But we came here all the way. You have all your equipment here don't you?

It's alright. Really.

So I am just baggage after all.

No you're not.

Hey, I want to see what's in the ocean.

Take come pictures for me. You've got your camera with you don't you?

Well, I do but...

Then go in my place and take some pictures.

Yuki.

What are you doing?

You intended to dive didn't you?

Yuki.

I was hoping to give you a surprise in the water.

What are you saying? Why are you doing this?

I wanted to go diving together with you.

Just that.

I didn't bring you here so you could do something reckless.

Doesn't matter if I die.

Why do you say that it doesn't matter if you die?

Yuki

The medication can't control it anymore.

Eh?

I know it. It's my own body. I noticed it even before the checkup.

Then on the phone, telling me that there wasn't anything wrong...

I lied to you again.

think I'll have to check into the hospital.

When that happens, I'll never get another chance to come to the ocean with you again.

That's why,

wanted to come here with you, to go diving with you.

Wanted to see what's in the ocean together.

I guess I'm being really stubborn.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Why me...

Yuki.

....

I...

I'm really terrified!

Of dying, of leaving you!

I don't want to die!

We haven't seen it yet. The snow falling in the ocean.

I won't be able to see it anymore.

We made a promise.

I won't be able to see it.

I want us to see it together.

That's why you can't die.

That's why...

You can't die.

Hey, don't you go losing heart, baby

There's nothing to worry about

Just keep going, as strong as always. Get it on

Yesterday, I was a mess

And you were just striking out

But we had searched for that huge, Oh! Summer time

Yo! Let's taste the summer, beneath the sun...

Smile! More, more!

Yo! Yesterday's mistakes and tomorrows blunders

Scrounge and fuss over them

Yo! Let's be reborn beneath the sun

Let summer come! More, more!

Yo! Let's take our messed up problems

And kiss them bye bye to the blue sky

It's alright, the world's

still spinning, Oh my shine

Because you'll give me tomorrow
