Original subtitles

Good evening, we're Blast.

Walking down the street tonight

Like every night nowhere to go

No one on the street tonight

And no one waiting up at home

Watching as my cigarette is spinning smoke into the wind

Watching as the time goes by

I think about the fix I'm in

Only you can come to save me

Being all alone has made me...

We won the confrontation with other bands again

most of the audience came over for us.

That was a great live...

The feeling of ecstasy...I'd love to do more of it!

Is that better than doing it with a man?

It depends on the man.

We should take Blast to Tokyo,

and turn professional!

You're so cool aren't you, top college student?

Your family owns an inn...

so that you don't need to find a job and still dream of it...

Of course I don't think it's easy to be professional,

but I feel we can do it.

Ren, don't you think so?

Hey, are you already drunk?

By the way...

Why don't we toast for now?

What? Haven't we done yet?

Oops, sorry!

Then, cheers for our live tonight!

Cheers!

Nobu...

Blast rocks!

He is almost dead.

Should we leave him here?

He will die.

I will send him home by taxi.

You're rich eh, Yasu.

As one would expect of a lawyer!

So, take care.

Hey, I will tell Nobu about it.

You should tell Nana properly yourself.

About what?

How cold...

I will catch a cold...

What would I do if I ruin my beautiful voice?

Why don't you use the warmer from the fans today?

Hey...this is cool.

Yeah...cool.

Nana...do you remember how we met?

Two years later

I'm the kind of person who believes in fate,

so that I think this is meant to be.

It's okay if you laugh at me.

Excuse me...

Oops...ouch!

Are you ok?

I'm fine. Sorry.

I'm sorry too. Did it hurt?

Don't worry, I'm fine.

I see..

So...can I sit here?

Go ahead.

Attention, customers.

We need to stop here for a while due to heavy snow.

We are sorry for the delay, but until the all green is given, please bear with us.

But I'm in a hurry...

I wonder what time it'll be when we get to Tokyo...

Are you okay?

Yes, for the moment.

Wow....high school girls nowadays are really different!

But I'm already 20!

What? Sorry...We're the same age, huh.

Same age? Unbelievable, you don't look like 20!

What?

Yes, this is Nana!

Shoji?

At this rate I may only get there at midnight..

Is that ok for you? Then I will let you know once I confirm my arrival time.

Ok, later then.

Is your boyfriend from Tokyo?

You two are pretty lovey-dovey, aren't you?

So, are you going to Tokyo for him?

I'm not...

Actually that's right...

So which one is it?

We were classmates in the college in our home town.

But he moved to Tokyo to apply for an art school.

Why didn't you go with him at the time?

Shoji..., he said not to.

Why?

Since I had neither enough money nor a concrete goal in mind,

he said I shouldn't go without a plan.

I see.

So I stayed in my home town and saved money to go to Tokyo.

And we promised I would move to Tokyo when he passed the entrance exam,

so that I have to do my best not to be told to go back to Tokyo.

Sorry, it's weird for me to say such things to a stranger.

It's ok, you can tell me more,

since it looks like it's still a long way to Tokyo.

Then you'll listen?

I can't wait to talk about our love story!

Would you like some food and drink...?

Hey, is beer okay?

Sounds great.

Excuse me, beer please.

Then, cheers to Shoji getting into college!

That has nothing to do with me.

Then, how about for two same girls going to Tokyo on the same train?

Let's toast to this coincidence.

That'll be good!

And one more thing...

My name is also Nana...

Nana-chan.

Cheers!

Hey Nana...do you remember how we met?

I kept talking about myself,

and didn't listen to you.

But I know you wouldn't tell me...

even if I had asked.

Nana!

Shoji!

Why are you crying?

Because...

You must be tired after travelling for five hours...

But I and the girl sitting next to me...

Eh?

Where are you looking at?

Jun! Kyosuke!

Aren't you tired? You haven't changed at all.

Just like the days when we went to school.

I missed you so much!

To Nana: Good morning! I'm going to work and will be back around 6pm. If you decide to go out, leave the key in the mail box. - Shoji

Coming!

I'm home.

Welcome home!

So...did you go to the real estate office? Anything good?

Real estate office?

Because you aren't going to live in my place...

Um...no, I didn't have time to go today.

Why?

Oh...because you were looking for a job? How was it?

Or...did you sleep the whole day?

No!

I was busy cleaning the place and doing the laundry.

What's that?

Why?

You didn't move to Tokyo to do such things right?

We promised you would find a job and be independent.

What do you mean by "such things"?

I did them for your sake!

2 Bedrooms, No. 707. 70,000 yen per month.

Nana! (Nana also means seven in Japanese)

Pardon?

I like it!

It's on the 7th floor but there is no elevator...

I see...that's why the price is cheap.

Ah...what an energetic young girl...

Here it is.

That's right.

Oh, you're here too.

Can we join you?

No, hold on.

My customer is about to decide to live here.

Wow! What an unbelievable coincidence!

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

I'm just kidding. I remember you.

You're Nana right?

What? Do you two know each other?

So are you going to live here?

What should I do...

I'm going to live here.

Hey, hold on!

I found this place first, you can't decide like this.

But you are still not sure...

Ok then, I've decided to rent this room.

Please wait.

I have to live in this room.

You can just live with your boyfriend.

No...I can't.

If I can't find a place by today,

I'm sure he will dump me.

Then why don't you two share this place?

Your boyfriend?

No.

You can keep your privacy as there are two bedrooms.

And the rent would be half each.

Half of 70,000...35,000 yen!

Don't you think it's good idea?

It's like a dream, to live in such a nice place with this kind of price!

But you don't look like the type who'd keep privacy.

Right, you better not.

It's uncomfortable to share the room with a stranger.

I don't think so, you loser!

Nana.

Nana, don't you think this glass is super cute?

A strawberry pattern....

Why not?

You can just get it if you like.

Then I won't buy this.

Why?

It's not worth it if you don't like it.

We should have the same pair of cups!

Whatever's fine for me, just buy it.

But you don't like strawberry...

I love strawberry!

Ok then I'll take this one.

I feel sorry for your boyfriend...

What do you mean?

You are just like....a dog - Dog?

Because you are so friendly and honest but hard to take care of...

Just like...you should be called Hachi. - Hachi? (Hachi is a common dog's name. It also means 8)

Ok, let's go Hachi. Hachi? I want a cuter name!

Can we go to the CD shop? There's a CD I want to get. - Sure

Trapnest's new cd is out today.

I really love the band!

I'm going to get this.

May I help you? - This one, please.

Look at this Nana, I got their poster!

Are you putting this up in your room?

Why not? I'm even a member of their fan club.

Especially the bass player, Takumi. He's great!

And the drummer Naoki is also good...

but the vocalist reira is the most attractive in Trapnest.

I admire her pretty face and voice.

Hey...

How about the most outstanding guy, the guitarist?

Um....it's Ren.

Of course he's handsome and the most popular.

But I don't really like him as he looks quiet and fierce.

Why are you laughing?

Nothing...

Why are you still laughing?

Nothing...

Don't you like them?

Why? You'd like them.

I'm sorry I'm going out, but I want to tell Shoji that I got a job offer.

Are you coming home tomorrow morning?

You should take the key.

Don't you have a date with anyone? Got a boyfriend?

I don't have anyone like that.

How about the guy last time? Do you have feelings for him?

I'm sure you have.

No, Yasu is not like that...

I see! You actually like him but you're too shy?

I know the feeling!

But, you should be honest, else happiness will pass you by!

Thanks for your advice.

It's ok, I'm going.

If you don't work hard...

Happiness will escape you.

Why are you giving this keychain to me?

I also...

don't want to be alone.

Hey, Nana...

You're like a wilful stray cat.

Full of pride and freedom.

Bearing wounds that can't be healed.

I'm the one who's optimistic -

I'm only doing this to look cool.

Even so, how much pain there is...

Thank you for coming!

I'll take care of here. You settle the hall outside.

But...

Today your first day?

Yes.

I'm Kawamura Sachiko, pleased to meet you.

Ah...pleased to meet you.

By any chance, are you an art student?

Ah...yes.

I'm from Tama. Oil painting.

Is that so?

I'm also from there. The same as you, oil painting.

Oh no...

Let's hurry.

We'll miss the last train...if we have to catch a cab...

that's one day's pay gone!

What're you doing?

Job done!

Let's go.

One, two, three...

Hold on.

One, two, three...

That's perfect!

This way we won't have to go buy one

It's inconvenient if you don't have a table to eat

Do you like it?

Thank you Nana! It'll come in handy.

It was easy.

Got it from the neighbourhood construction site,

So it's similar.

Hey Nana, why don't you be a carpenter?

Have you tried looking for such a job?

If I do this kind of thing everyday...

What would I do if I injure my fingers?

Oh...yeah...the guitar...

Hey Nana, you're in a band, right?

Are you aiming to be a pro guitarist?

For me, it's not a guitarist...

I'm a vocalist.

Vocals?

Incredible! That's so cool!

It is? - It's cool!

That's what I say after hearing a song.

Good evening, you have a delivery!

Oh, that's mine.

Good evening!

You...what did you come here for?!

That's nice, you seemed as if you were anticipating me.

I promised Yasu

to deliver your luggage.

That'll suffice. You can go back now.

Nana, please.

It's for one night only, can you put me up tonight?

No.

Actually, I...

I don't want to hear this.

I ran away from home.

I said I didn't want to hear your nonsense!

Why are you being so cruel? Isn't he your friend?

Nobu-kun right? Are you all right?

Just call me Nobu, Nana-chan!

I'm speaking for her as well.

I'm not a rich brat like you.

Go back to your parents' inn in Minaka!

Your future is assured isn't it?

I'm happy if I can play the guitar.

You understand, don't you?

I like your songs...

Hello, Yasu?

Ok, I'm putting her on.

Hey Yasu, what's this stupid brat doing here?

Why do I have to live so far away?

Have you heard Nobu's tape?

Tape?

The new song he wrote -

It's a good song.

If you're going to sing, I think it's unwise to make enemies.

It's a really cool song.

Did you really write this? I'm deeply moved!

Good evening, we're Blast.

Yasu, are you hearing this?

Let's have an unforgettable night!

What happened that night.

I still find it hard to forget even now

The words from that song still have not followed

from Nana's haphazard English singing.

It was as though from a mysterious text.

I was held captive by that voice.

Hey, Ren.

Do you remember?

The day we first met

Ah...how many years ago was it?

It was the Christmas live.

Two years and 3 months ago.

On a snowy night like tonight.

You were wearing a red one-piece.

If you can't remember what I wore it's fine!

You were a horrible guest, weren't you?

The worst in history.

What?

You were standing there right in front.

I was glaring at you.

I was damn irritated by this girl.

Backstage, when Nobu was introducing us...

"Nana." was your curt reply.

You didn't say anything else.

It was that time, wasn't it.

When my grandma died.

It was timely, the money from the job.

I bought a Christmas present

For my poor lonely self.

That deep red one-piece.

It's laughable isn't it.

I fell in love after seeing that.

Liar!

You said earlier on you were irritated.

Recruiting: Drums and Bass!

Let's work together and become pro!

Singing for a living...

That's a big dream isn't it?

Isn't it, isn't it?

When Nana had her own local band -

She had many fans and was quite well-known.

I was so excited when I heard that!

Hm...I like this kind of story too but

It's hard to succeed.

Don't worry...

After I came to Tokyo, I've really settled down.

I think that's great.

Ah, about tonight.

I'll be going to sing karaoke with Nana and the rest.

You should come and listen to her, it'll be fun!

Er...I'm sorry.

I'll be working part-time at night from now on.

Eh...Work again?

Even after I came to Tokyo at last?

It's boring if you have to work all the time.

You should seriously think about

making some time for us.

I've been thinking...

That's why I'm eating with you now.

We get to meet everyday don't we?

I want to go to the movies and more fashionable shops.

I haven't really thought about that...

Eh...Am I wrong?

Excuse me...

I saw the ad outside and came in.

Okazaki Shinichi-kun.

You're really good...

Quit high school...

Place of residence: n/a

Um...you're a runaway youth aren't you?

It's fine, if you have skill it doesn't matter.

What are some of the bassists you respect?

Trapnest's honjoren.

i like Trapnest too!

But Ren's the guitarist.

Eh, don't you know?

Ren played the bass in his previous band

Ah...I see.

But I'm a fan of Takumi though.

You seem to be on familar terms with him.

There is one condition though.

If you can't promise this you have to refuse.

You have to surpass Ren, Shin.

Blast was a band that you started, wasn't it?

Yeah

I couldn't sleep last night because I was worried about it.

But I can always work in a law firm in Tokyo.

Where do you want it?

Of course Ginza would be the best.

There'll be lots of pictures this time

The professor likes the sea and yatching...

Draw the sea and yatchts for the last paper.

Really!

It's true!

Nana-chan.

Yes?

Can I talk to you for a moment?

Yup.

Announcement: The last train will be leaving shortly...

Please take note if you do not want to miss it

Doors closing...

Sorry! Go on first without me, else you'll miss the train!

I can understand if you can't run.

Why aren't you wearing your shoes?

I did that on purpose.

You don't have to.

No, it's fine.

Sorry.

It was my fault.

You'll catch a cold.

Hello?

Shoji!

What happened?

You're not at home now? Why didn't you come home?

Your work should have ended already.

I missed the last train.

I'm waiting for a taxi now.

What should I do...

I got fired from work!

Which is to say, I'm now unemployed?

The store is just barely managing to get by...

So the manager told me since I was cute...

He'd let me work for one month

What kind of reasoning is that??

That's troubling...

I want to see you today! Right now!

Sorry.

It's too late...

I'll go see you tomorrow morning.

You're late Hachi.

Hachi? She was working?

Work.

What's she doing?

She's working at "Saburina".

"Saburina"?

Pistachio.

Don't you want such idle questions?

It's a luxury...

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Ah? You look down.

Hachi!

It's a live!

There'll be a live event at Yokohama.

We'll be allowed to perform there.

That's great!

Ah...sorry, I didn't realise you were this wet...

Let's all drink to this!

Thank you.

To Blast's progress towards Tokyo!

Cheers!

The me who had gone to Toyko,

was very anxious even so.

But, starting to live together with Nana,

I was no longer confused and uneasy.

I don't know how to put it in words though...

Everyone attention,

Take a good look.

Go ahead.

I'm Komatsu Nana.

Though I'm not very good with computers, I'm willing to learn

Please give me your guidance.

A publishing company?

It was something you were looking for right?

Can you do it?

I'll be alright!

It's just some odd jobs, and it's a really small company.

But it's in Aoyama.

As expected it's different...Aoyama feels like Tokyo

Don't spend too much when you go shopping!

Don't worry...

After seeing Nana I feel like I can do it!

Nana? Ah...your roomate?

As expected, we need an aim in life.

From now I'll have to plan and save for marriage.

Marriage?

With who? Shoji?

Ah...hold on, I haven't told Shoji yet.

Don't tell him I said this.

Ah...I'm still young after all.

Marriage is still a long shot.

Shoji, what kind of sandwiches do you like?

Those with eggs are nice.

Didn't you eat a nice sandwich yesterday?

It's just food.

I'll go get drinks.

Thanks.

Cafe au lait for you right?

Correct answer!

Ah, get the iced one.

I got it.

What's with you and that girl?

You two looked lovey-dovey.

No, Sachiko's only a friend.

Sachiko...

You're familiar with each other aren't you?

We're from the same department and part-time job.

That's why we spend quite some time together.

We unconsicously give that appearance.

Yesterday I met Nana.

She's working hard.

She said she's saving up for her marriage with you.

Huh?

Shoji...

Nana's tiring herself out for you.

I don't understand how this way...

she's going to get you to stop seeing Sachiko.

But if you know you have a girl like Nana,

reach out and take hold of her.

You don't get girls like her all the time.

Of course.

But -

Can you really just remain as friends?

What do you mean?

I'm talking about Sachiko.

She's really the type you like.

Anyway, you should cleanly cut your ties with Sachiko.

Manager.

Here's the original illustration from Noguchi.

Ah, good work.

What about a drink later tonight?

That wouldn't be too good.

Oh, it'll be fine.

Please excuse me.

Komatsu-san!

Yes!

Did you lay out the copies properly?

They're all crooked!

I'm sorry...

Why did we hire such a useless person?

Hey, Nana-chan.

Yes?

Fill up my coffee.

Mine too.

Sorry.

Please wait.

What is it?

Actually...

I have something to tell you.

Could you listen as we walk?

If we miss the last train I'll pay for your cab fare.

You know...

Sorry.

I...

I'm really sorry!

You're not at fault.

I did it of my own accord...

I was just playing around...

I...

didn't mean to interfere between you and your girlfriend

So...

It's fine if we just remain friends...

It's fine if we just remain friends...

Don't say you want to sever our friendship.

I came!

Sorry I dropped by unannounced.

Hmm...your uniform suits you!

I'm Hachi's room mate, Nana.

Hachi?

Come this way.

I want to sit over there by the window.

Eh...where's Shoji?

Sit down properly like a grownup!

Don't make a nuisance of yourself.

But don't you feel Shoji is cool?

It'll be a little dumb to just talk.

What are you doing, Kawamura-san?

I'm sorry!

Ouch!

Are you okay?

You're bleeding!

This...

Don't worry about me, let's quickly treat your hand.

I'm sorry!

I can't help it but to run away...

She's cute...

And she's kind too.

What happened between you and her?

While nobody's hurt yet...

Let's stop this.

What's wrong?

Somehow...

In the end I didn't get to talk to Shoji.

It can't be helped, he's working.

But recently I haven't gotten to talk with him.

Hey, until Shoji's shift is over, let's walk around a bit. For 1 more hour.

I'm going home.

Wait a moment, hold on!

Don't talk so coldly!

Waiting in this kind of place is so lonely!

Go back into the shop then.

No, no, no.

Huh?

Even though you say you don't want to wait...

If we wait here it's too ostentatious isn't it?

That's why I said we should go home!

That's why you shouldn't think of going home.

Actually there's a good place to wait...

It'll touch a guy's heart.

That's meaningless.

I hate this kind of thing.

Why?

Don't you understand the heart of a girl in love?

Waiting naively for Shoji so you can meet him...

Of course there's a perfectly valid reason...

That's why such a pretentious arrangement won't work...

If you're an adult you won't wait.

I'll be fine, but Nana you'll be cold!

I'm used to it so I'm fine.

I see.

Here!

I'll break up with my girlfriend, so...

What's the meaning of this?

If there's anything say it!

Explain yourself!!

Stop it!

Get out of my way!

Don't fight!

It has nothing to do with you, get lost!

It has nothing to do with you too!

I was the one who fell in love with him.

Even though I knew he had a girlfriend I couldn't stop...

If you want to hit someone, hit me.

You've got guts. I'm going to hit you then!

Hachi!

What are you doing standing there?

This is your own fight!

It's your man, come here and get him back yourself!

I don't want to...

I don't want to see his face any longer...

I want to get a larger place.

It's as small as a bath, isn't it.

That's not it, I'm talking about the live.

Ah.

So more people can come see us.

I wonder if we can get a bigger place?

Want to try and see?

It seems like others should handle it.

Did Yasu say when he was coming back?

He seemed to be very sincere about it.

My medicine...

It can't be helped, you're a junkie.

No! It's the Pill!

It's because you refused to use a condom, you idiot.

What will you do if there's a baby?

Isn't it good that way?

I've been working diligently because I didn't go to high school.

I can support us financially.

One or two children is perfectly fine.

You may be fine but what about me?

Rather than having children, I want to have the live.

Nana.

Yes?

You -

You should live the way you want.

What?

That's why I went to Tokyo...

I know it's Shoji's fault this time round...

But you also knew about it...

Whose side are you on, Jun?

Shoji betrayed me!

I was being deceived all this time!

It wasn't "all this time".

I was putting in my best effort.

I went to find a job and got used to living by myself

That's a problem of your own confidence isn't it?

You -

It's always been all about yourself.

Can you say you really thought about how Shoji feels?

For love, it's all about communication.

It won't go well if you don't think about the other party.

Good evening, we're Blast.

Is Komatsu Nana living here?

Yes.

Could you sign here?

Hachi, there's a letter from your home.

Should I sign on your behalf?

Sure...

Thank you.

It came!

i got it! the tickets to Trapnest's live!

Furthermore it's the front row seats... And there're two tickets!

Ah...what should I do?

I want to see Takumi!

I'd never manage to get seats like this again...

Of course you'll come with me right?

Right?

Hey hey hey hey hey

Everyone listen up.

tickets to Trapnest's live!

It's next week, near my vicinity.

Those who want to go, raise your hands!

Nana also didn't want to go when she heard.

I understand it's troublesome since it's far away...

But it's front row seats! Don't you want them?

That's why Nana didn't want to go.

Didn't she tell you?

Ren and Nana...?

Yup.

ren from Trapnest...and nana...?

ren wasn't in Trapnest from the beginning.

He was with our local band.

he left us for Trapnest.

I see...

Why aren't you surprised?

I knew this all before.

I heard if from you back then when you were drunk.

Eh...I talked about it? - Yup.

I really did?? - Yup

Oops...

But still...

why didn't nana follow ren to Trapnest?

It would have been nice if Ren had stuck it out with the band.

But if she had done so

she wouldn't be living what she wanted.

Earning a living with your own songs...

That's what Nana decided.

Why are you saying this?

Because I heard all of it from you.

Really...

But...

Is it really alright? Nana's choice.

Nana's a girl who stands on her own feet independently...

Even though Ren has been rising steadily...

She's not the type that would stay at home...

making miso soup while waiting for Ren to come home.

That's why -

She has the confidence in her ability to sing.

That's why someday, she's definitely going to make it to Tokyo.

She'd choose pride over love?

To put it simply, yes.

I don't really know how she feels.

about her and Ren -

All the while she's been sealing it inside her heart and living.

Surpass Ren, Shin.

What are you doing? - Ah...

Do you need help changing the location of the poster?

No...

Hey, Nana...

Yes?

let's go togther after all, shall we? to Trapnest's live.

It's okay if you don't want

Let's go together to my parents' place and have fun!

It isn't anything special though...

Hey, I want to introduce you -

to my family.

Okay, let's go to the live.

Eh? Why?

Haha...'why'?

Why did you change your mind?

Nothing really...I suddenly didn't want to see them.

Huh?

To see your parents' faces.

It's a splendid place isn't it?

Are you a rich girl?

I'm a normal girl!

Land here is cheap.

Welcome! Make yourself at home.

Welcome!

My regards to you.

Welcome home!

Eh? Isn't that a guy you're with?

Don't call her a guy, Nami!

You two look like you're together.

Really, it was as if you two were eloping.

Right!

This is a misunderstanding.

I'm living with Nana. There're no guys there.

Right?

- Right?

Ah...how disappointing!

Someone worrisome like you...

She must have been giving you trouble.

You must have your hands full with her.

She's been such a burden on her poor mum.

Sorry, I'm making a great fuss right?

No, it's alright...

Come on, let's go up.

Is tea fine?

I'm envious...you have a great Mum.

I'm deeply moved when I think of her.

In what way? She's just a normal housewife.

My Dad will be coming back later -

He's really normal, so don't expect anything cool.

It's fine isn't it? Being normal.

I don't have parents myself...

so I've always thought it'd be nice to have a great family.

You have no parents?

Oh...about that.

My mother left home when I was four.

I didn't have a father from the start.

I lived with my grandma.

I mean, she was my mother's mum.

This grandma of mine died when I was 15.

Let's not talk about such solemn things.

I'm happy.

What?

That's the first time I heard you talk about such things.

Because you usually don't really talk about yourself.

I was getting a little lonely.

I see -

I didn't realise it.

I'll tell you anything you want to hear.

So you won't feel lonely, ok?

What's so funny?

That's because you really act like a guy.

You feel like a boyfriend from a girl's point of view.

My heart's beating fast now.

Really.

Then, can we really talk about anything?

Yup.

Promise you won't lie about anything?

What do you mean?

Do you like Ren now?

You knew about it.

Sorry...it was unreasonable to pry.

But...

You knew but you still brought me here.

Thank you.

Please proceed this way.

Thank you for coming.

I'll come find you after I take a smoke.

Okay.

In the end Nana...

didn't answer my question.

I can understand why she doesn't want to hear about it.

Reira!

Takumi!

I'll introduce you to the other two later

They'll definitely fall in love with you.

You don't have to.

I only came to the live for fun.

About Ren -

He was abandoned outside a port warehouse right after he was born.

It was in the news.

And now he lives here.

"This is where I started from" he says.

Ren is aiming to be a professional musician.

On the contrary he's grateful that he's living and standing on his own.

He's not this kind of guy.

It's just that sympathy sells.

How dumb.

Oh no! Hurry, the live's starting!

I was walking in the blowing snow.

Hiding the deep red colour of the one-piece underneath my coat.

The feeling which was born that night -

You can call it by any name.

The meaningless existence I had led up to then -

Ren was too dazzling...

We got together -

During the Christmas night we had during our first year together.

Oh!

A handmade cake! How sexy.

It might be poisoned.

It's actually from one of my fans.

"Isn't that girl with Ren?"

"Eat this cake and die!"

Taste it first.

I don't want to die even before my body even realises it

Hmph, I don't want to too.

The fans probably know

about the rule that says you're not going to help Blast.

Now your body can remember it.

If's fine even if we get killed.

He really meant it when he said he didn't mind dying.

Because I wanted Ren

so badly it was unbearable.

A (hasu no hana) lotus?

No,(ren no hana) Ren's flower. (ren means lotus also)

Ren gladly taught me how to sing.

He taught me how to play the guitar.

He gave me hope in living.

In setting me free from gravity -

I was like the throbbing roar of the sea.

But I -

I didn't decide to sing for Ren.

I...

I've arrived at today by singing for myself.

I followed Ren's figure with my eyes.

I wanted to tell Ren that Nana was here.

Earnestly through the telepathic waves I sent out.

I wonder if it'll reach him?

That's all for your luggage?

The guitar and me...that's all.

He's just joking.

The delivery company took care of it.

It's heavy, that's why.

From now on, you...

there'll be no one to take care of your luggage.

It's about time.

I'd lived with Ren -

For one year and three months.

The snow left behind had yet to melt... in the spring was already beginning ...

It was over between us.

Sometimes I had a feeling

Ren would look over here.

But those eyes would immediately

turn towards a different place.

You seemed to have made mistakes in two of the songs.

Though you're ambitious to be good -

People will see through it.

I'm going to the washroom.

If even Ren can make a mistake, times are bad, huh?

I wonder if Ren realised you were here?

Under all these lights it's hard to see

the audience.

Really?

I don't really know, because -

I've never set foot

on such a large stage before.

Don't say that...

The atmosphere here is good right?

Singing in such a big hall...

This is the Yamazaki law firm.

Yasu. Nana came.

You knew, didn't you?

Why didn't you tell me!

I wanted to surprise you.

From your tone I didn't expect her to come.

I could have arranged something.

I'll give you Nana's cellphone number.

If you want to meet, call her.

Now at this late hour how am I going to face her?

If you don't have the courage to meet her -

Nana will still accept you.

There were two songs for the encore.

Ren didn't even look here once.

You first.

I'm home!

Welcome home!

You two must be hungry!

I've made dinner already.

Yes, hello?

Yes.

Ok, I'm putting her on.

It's Yasu.

Yes, what is it?

Ren might call here.

Best regards.

What do you mean?

Don't mess around with things that don't concern you!

I already -

no longer want to talk with that guy!

In that case tell Ren yourself.

You still have it, don't you? That key.

Give it back.

A woman he hugs twice will be tied to him.

I get it.

Tell me where Ren is staying.

Nana?

Now that it's come to this, it can't be helped.

I'm going to return the key.

Key?

The key for the lock around his neck.

But -

If you return the key...it'll be...

Sorry. Help me call a cab.

Excuse me.

Are you an authorised personnel?

Yes.

Let me see your credentials.

I called this girl here.

Please overlook this.

I'm definitely giving back the key.

You came here to return it?

Now, it's completely over.

That's what I came here to say.

You alway pull along people to agree with you.

Bye.

Hey, wait.

Don't get it wrong.

Even after such a long time, I have nothing to say to you.

Oh, yeah.

I want to say one thing.

when are you going to surpass Trapnest?

Nana.

You haven't changed.

I'm glad you're still fine.

Ren...

Let go!

I have no intention of starting over with you...

Let go...

I wanted to see you...

Why didn't I come earlier...

At that time -

What sort of thoughts did she bring with her to meet Ren?

Really, what sort of thoughts...

Because, the words "I love you" -

are so easy to say. If it was so simple -

she'd have gone to see him long ago.

What are you doing with such expensive roses?

Don't be so miserly,

since you're Trapnest's guitarist.

Ah...flowers. At any rate, they're going to wilt anyway.

You won't ever wilt.

But speaking of, it's as though we've returned to the old days.

We were always in the bathtub together -

Talking about all sorts of things.

I still rent that place now and then.

Who's living there now?

It's wasteful.

It's fine. That was my starting point.

When will I be able to own it?

When we get old we can go back there and the two of us can live there.

Don't decide this kind of thing by yourself!

About the time I got the key -

That place was still an empty warehouse.

All the facilities were gone -

I slipped inside and played the guitar through the night.

It wasn't as if I was born with a natural talent.

I played to the extent where I became good.

That's the first time I heard this...

I never told anyone before.

So they just thought I was a genius.

Hey, Ren.

Yes?

It's impossible isn't it?

To live together like we did before.

Because of my obstinate disposition.

But we can meet like this once in a while.

To hold each other -

To talk with each other, it would be nice.

And, when I will...

When I grow older...

When my pride and obstinacy are all gone -

And even if I get tired of singing,

Can I go back to that home?

At that time I -

had decided that I didn't want to fall in love again.

That's why -

No matter what kind of hurt or suffering,

I want to see my dream once again.

While I'm loving someone from the bottom of my heart -

At that time while praying for Nana's happiness -

I thought I'd do it in that manner.

So, how did things go with Ren?

You said we could talk about anything!

Well, I have lots to talk about regarding that, this time round.

As a reward, what would you like?

Takumi's autograph!

Oh, that's easy. I'll ask Ren about it.

Ren??

I told you I'll get the autograph for you.

No, it's not that.

He's coming back to Motosaya, is he?

Hm...about that...

That's great, Nana!

That's not great!

Why are you excited about such a thing...

With this kind of expectation.

Why?

Even so, there has to be a distinction...

A plan after everything's over.

What am I thinking?

This is so uncool...

And so she said -

The deep red and small Nana

revealed a part of herself I had never seen before now - cute

and very adorable.

Komatsu-san!

Why is it that you still can't do things right?

If it's time, you have plenty of it isn't it.

When I was at your stage -

I had already taken up more responsbilities and work,

picking up on the new trends.

I'm troubled here too!

This workplace -

No matter how I think of it, I'm not suited for this.

I want to quit and find another job.

But -

A place for me -

I wonder if it exists in this world?

I'm envious of Nana.

Reach.

What? Really?

You're really on a roll!

What?

Ron.

What?? For real?!

But...

You're really good.

You should go easier on us.

Okay, I will.

Wait, wait, wait...

Is it Hachi?

It might be Hachi.

Have a safe trip.

Welcome home.

Nana-chan.

She cried...

At that time without thinking my tears started flowing -

Because it was as though it was something out of a dream

Nana had prepared my present -

I immediately realised.

Here you go.

Thank you a million times!

I can feel your love.

I was very happy.

Even though I can't be a little more mature -

and that i can't do without depending on others' kindness -

Nana let me see her incredible dream.

I feel so happy and blessed, it's like falling in love for the first time.
