Hey, Hamazaki-san.
You were front and center with your hands in the air, huh?

I got a reaction from Nemukyun.

All of the limited edition stuff, please.

- Did you cut your hair? Looks great.
- I did.

I read your blog. It really energized me.

Our eyes met, huh? I got a reaction, huh? I'm sure I...

They're angels. I feel so refreshed.

This is what I've been missing.

That's right, I'm leaving tomorrow. Thanks for everything.

It's been our pleasure.

Dad said he's coming with his car.

You should tell him about the divorce when he comes.

I was given these.

Grandma. You know there's no pro wrestling in Lake Kawaguchi.

There are a bunch of DVDs I haven't seen.

The day before she leaves and you still won't give up.

Because...

What is all of this stuff?

I'm holding onto them for someone.

Give it back. Give it!

Hey, give it back. Give it...

It's finally come to this.

This is...

This is where I can call home.

Brr.

Matilda?

Hassaku?

Matilda?

Hassaku?

Eh?

Where'd they go? Matilda. Hassaku.

Hassaku.

Hassaku? Has...

- He's here, he's here, he's here. Hurry.
- Hide, hide.

- What is it?
- What do you mean? Let me in.

We're busy right now.

- I was wondering if you'd seen them.
- What's the problem?

Matilda and Hassaku are gone.

Eh? What are you doing here?

- What do you mean "they're gone"?
- I don't know.

The veranda window was open when I came home.

Eh?

She came to say goodbye to me.

Hurry and search for them together.

- Hassaku. Matilda
- Hassaku.

- Hassaku.
- Matilda.

Matilda. Hassaku.

- Excuse me, but have you seen this cat?
- I haven't.

- Where are you?
- Hassaku.

Let's get the Hamasakis to sign as witnesses.

Ryo-san. There's something I want to ask you.

Sure.

Why didn't you turn it in before?

I did go to the Meguro ward office.

And I intended to turn it in.

But then I got a call from a friend all of a sudden.

Their dog had gone missing, so

they asked if I'd go searching with them.

So I went out searching...

...And got sidetracked.

Almost hard to believe.

But there won't be a problem this time.

This time we'll go together.

Coming.

- Ah, perfect timing...
- Our cats have gone missing.

- Have you seen them?
- Will you search with us?

I'm sorry. We're busy at the moment.

- I'll be out in a sec.
- Eh?

Hamasaki-san. Please, use this.

- Thanks.
- Here's a flashlight.

We'll search in that direction.

- Thanks for your help.
- Sure.

Let's try over here first. This way.

- I'll go over here.
- I'll go over here.

Matilda. Hassaku.

- Matilda. Hassaku.
- Matilda.

Matilda. Hassaku.

Slightly droopy, like so.

This sort of color.

Don't look out there.

It's said, isn't it?

Huh?

That cats go off to be alone before they die.

- That sort of thing.
- We're not going to find them.

What are you saying?

They'll be back. I'm sure of it.

It's cold, but let's leave it open.

Want a bath?

A warm bath will do you good.

They've never done this before.

I'm worried about them being out, but they'll be fine.

They can't be far. They'll come back when they get hungry.

They're out there somewhere. It'll be fine.

Constantly thinking the worst doesn't do any good.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Yuka.

Everything will be ok.

Have a seat.

Are you hungry? How about I make something?

What do we have? Is there something you want?

Should I pick something up? How does ice cream sound?

How about I fix some hot cocoa?

I'll make some for both of us. Drink some if you like.

How about it?

It was Nagoya Castle, wasn't it?

Do you remember? Nagoya Castle and Shiroi Koibito.

Why do you have cats?

What's with the hamster-like things?

My friend's had 18 babies at once.

Why is that just when I pick up some cats,

- you bring home some hamsters.
- It'll be fine.

It'll be like Tom & Jerry.

No. That's a cartoon.

It'll be an eye-averting scene in reality.

My friend was happy to see the 18 reduced to 16, though.

If you sneak them back in, 16 or 18 -

I really don't think they'll notice the difference.

They wouldn't, would they?

- Let's try putting them together.
- No, that's dangerous.

So then we put the hamsters in our pockets

and went to sneak them back in.

- Eh? At this hour?
- I have plans tomorrow.

I see. But there are no trains running.

What is it? Where are you going?

Wait a second. I'll see you there.

Hold it. What are these plans for tomorrow?

Where are you staying? A friend's place? Tomorrow's plans are?

Hold on a second.

Let's talk a bit more. Come back here for a sec.

- I'm leaving.
- Have a seat over there.

- This way.
- Hm?

Yuka?

"Married Woman Temptation Springs" is what it's called.

- Know it?
- Nope.

- I see.
- So, what?

What about this such-and-such Springs?

I'm trying out for it.

An audition, interview or whatever.

I'm not entirely sure, but it starts in the morning.

That's. That sort of...

By springs you mean this towel type of thing.

That's what you were talking about when you said actress recently?

- You're yelling.
- You left a few things out.

That kind of actress, that sort of thing...

Bad stuff. Bad bad bad.

Bad bad bad bad. Do not go.

What's so bad about it?

Dangerous elements are waiting there.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Listen.

Those springs are the kind you don't enter under any circumstances.

The reason being, in those springs, the towels...

- They're removed?
- They're removed.

- You know this?
- I do.

You know! You know!?

- Relax for a second!
- I am relaxed.

You go to the springs and remove your towel.

That leaves you like a peeled orange.

Or like reading a book in the train without a sleeve

and everyone knows what it is you're reading.

These examples aren't getting through.

Wait a moment.

Don't move. Stay right there. I'll be back in a flash.

Oh, this is bad. Dangerous stuff.

Have a look. It's not pretty.

Both me and Inazuma-san were embarrassed.

Shop clerk Inazuma-san. Inazuma was written here.

- What is this about?
- It's just that I saw her name.

It's irrelevant, but I wanted to tell you about it.

Here, see for yourself.

See what kind of things go down.

There is stuff in here you can't even imagine.

I don't have to see it to know. What goes on.

- If you know then it's surely out of the question.
- It's not out of the question.

I'm told it's not unusual for people to start this

line of work after a divorce. Lots of people do it.

That may be the case for other people,
but you aren't other people, Yuka.

What's the difference between me and them?

You're not like them at all.

What do you know about me to make that kind of statement?

What right do you have to say that sort of thing?

Right?

Don't assume that I share the same views as you.

There's no connection between us.

If I remove my towel or whatever,

if I make myself like a ready-to-eat orange...

That's my decision. It has nothing to do with you.

You have no place to say anything about it. No right.

You and I met that day by chance and ended up

in my room because we were feeling insecure.

We were married before we knew it. That's it.

If we never met then we would've remained strangers to this day.

Passing by each other at the reception area of some company.
That level of relationship.

You wouldn't know whether I was alive or not.

It would have nothing to do with you. Nothing.

[The bath is ready.]

The bath is ready.

Well, there is that side to it.

I've had similar thoughts.

That it was a coincidence.
That it was because we were feeling insecure.

But right now I feel a little differently.

Animals are wonderful. They don't lie.

- Ah. Hamazaki-san...
- It's Hamasaki. Hamasaki.

Hamasaki-san, you're a "wish I was a bird" type, huh?

- Are you making fun?
- For me, I believe that most

important things in life are learned from Mt. Fuji.

- You like to speak in extremes, huh?
- It's not extreme.

People who grow up around Mt. Fuji are all big-hearted.

My apartment is just a little ways over there.

- Well, we part here.
- Yep.

Ah, wait.

I'll treat you to something for having talked with me.

Ok.

- Double up on the katsuobushi.
- Gotcha.

Mister, sure you don't need to head home?

I just went back to straighten my wife's altar.

Are you two a couple?

No, no.

We just met.

Really?

You look good together.

Generally, when you come to like someone,

you look for a reason, but it's not like that.

It's not reasons, causes and the like.
Things just occur as they were meant to.

Things become the norm and taken for granted.

You forget why you liked the person in the first place.

Then, how to put it...
I don't have my thoughts together, but

I thought of you being around as the norm, Yuka.

I thought things were normal, that everything was OK,
I felt secure, so I took it for granted.

But, creating something is difficult and destroying it is easy.

Living with someone who may be gone any moment.

Spending time that may run out whenever.

Even though separation may come at any time,

forgetting that you love a person and carrying on.

Going about life in that way.

To make it short...

You're an important person to me.

Sneaky thing to say.

Sorry.

- I didn't know.
- I know.

- I know it's too late, so.
- I wouldn't say it's too late.

I understand what you're saying.

I might not have the right to say so, but I don't want you to do this.

Ok.

I'm glad.

I see.

You can put the bag down.

If Inazuma-san slipped down the stairs,

people'd say something like "lightning crashed", huh.

- What's that?
- Hm? Tsutaya's Inazuma-san.

That's not what I'm talking about.

This isn't something to feel ashamed about.

If you don't feel ashamed, why are you covering it up?

Because it's cold.

You've also taken an uchiwa or something to a show, haven't you?

- I'm not saying anything.
- You don't get it.

This is recognized now.

Japan's idol culture. It's recognized around the world.

We're talking about things that exist under this roof right now.

You're always so quick to say thing like "the world".

The way you blow things up is agitating.

You're always criticizing one thing after another like that.

Not making an attempt to recognize a man's interests is

one of the negative traits in women, isn't it?

- Quick to say "women".
- Women speak of men the same way.

- I'm saying I hate that way of speaking.
- If my way of speaking is a problem
then I won't be able to say anything.

I have no idea why you're even getting angry to begin with.

Say things I don't like and I'll get angry.

Because there's no coherence with your emotions.

- They are coherent.
- Coherent?

Getting up in the middle of a movie countless times,

then saying "I don't get it". That kind of coherence?

That's the way of speaking I'm talking about.

- Why are you trying to start something?
- That would be you.

So you're saying I should go to the "Married Woman Hot Springs"?

See. There's that incoherence.

Brandishing something completely unrelated like a weapon.

Got a problem with that?

Look who's talking. You're also careless.

The cats disappeared because you left with the window wide open

Why are you bringing that up now,
even though I've been worried sick?

- Because it's true.
- Aren't you also partly responsible?

How am I responsible?

- You left here and neglected them.
- Why are you saying this now?

It's the same with things like DVDs you just leave lying about.

Then you say that I'm being petty if I say something about it.

Because you are. You have no compassion.

It always comes back to "compassion".

The magic word for diverting attention from your own shortcomings.

That's the way of speaking that I keep telling you I hate.

Yeah. Sure. I've got it. I'm going now.

- Where are you going?
- My dad has arrived.

I'll go, too. I have to say bye to Aiko-san.

I'll return to Fujinomiya after that.

- Hey hey hey.
- What?

What do you think you're doing?

Um. I thought I'd help.

That's a rag. It'll scrape the car if you scrub with it.

Of course you aren't supposed to use it.

- Dad.
- Hey.

- You must be tired.
- I'm not tired.

Eh? What about me makes you think I'm tired?

Why is car navigation so out of whack?

Turn right at the next traffic signal.
It's jammed however you want to look at it.

Plain as day.

I went ahead and turned.

It's clear that my decision saved a good 15 minutes.

Not a word of apology.

With a straight face it tells me the arrival time has shortened.

Thanks to me. You think you get the credit? Ha!

She's probably ready to go. Well, stop by sometime.

Hold it. You haven't talked about anything other than car navigation.

- Was there something else to talk about?
- We have something.

Mother.

- Something terrible has happened.
- Settle down.

I see. I'm the only one who didn't know?

Sorry.

Yuka-chan, what do your parents have to say about it?

My father is angry.

- Have you paid a visit?
- Not yet.

You... Doing such a thing to their beloved daughter.

- They'll bury us in a tea field.
- Eh?

Marriage is a union between two families.

Don't be so old-fashioned.

This is what Mitsuo and Yuka-san have decided.

Mother.

That may be true for this rough-and-tumble Tokyo desert.

But this kind of divorce doesn't fly in Yamanashi and Shizuoka.

I'm sorry, but moving will have to be put off until tomorrow.

We're going to Fujinomiya.

A conference between both families. A summit conference.

- I'll get the car.
- Dad!

- Take care.
- I have work tomorrow.

I'll go call my parents.

What now, grandma?

You reached this decision together, didn't you?

There's nothing I can say.

It isn't working out.

We end up fighting no matter what.

- Now she's headed back to Fujinomiya.
- I see.

Say something. A scales falling from eyes kind of illuminating something.

I've lived 80 years and scales have never fallen from my eyes.

I see.

You told Yuka-san that you wished her happiness, didn't you?

If that's the case, help lead her in that direction.

Whether that end includes you or not.

Hey. Hey hey hey!

Your shoes. Remove them.

Ah. No shoes allowed.

- Your mother said she's coming with us to Fujinomiya.
- I see.

Hamasaki-san.

Did you find your cats?

Nope, not yet.

Um. I'd like to have you sign this.

- Ah, ok.
- Please.

- You're turning it in?
- Yes.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

This is the right thing, isn't it?

Eh? Ah, I'm fine.

I was asking myself.

Even if there's a 1% chance, it's worth a gamble, right?

"A gamble."

Talking about trusting you.

Let's go.

- Yuka-chan. Long time no see.
- Long time no see.

Want some?

- Thanks.
- Hey, what are you doing!?

- No shoes in the car!
- The sauce is dripping!

This is all the fault of my son.

I am very sorry.

No no no. The fault is my daughter's.

No no no.

Yuka-chan. Is it to where you can't stand the sight of Mitsuo's face anymore?

His face I can stand.

Is it that you don't want to breath the same air?

No, I can breathe the same air. I do.

- Where did the displeasure begin?
- Where did it begin?

Not wanting to eat together.

Not wanting to hold hands.

A kiss on the cheek is fine, but here is revolting.

- Kissing is a bit iffy right now.
- Eh?

It's only natural. They've separated, after all.

It's not "only natural".

I'm envious. Getting a divorce.

- Hey.
- Yuka-chan, it's nothing to fret over.

Ditch a man and another will pop right up.

Don't speak of us like we're mushrooms!

- I won't allow it!
- You were cleaning the back room, weren't you?

So it's ready for Yuka to return any time.

- Er. About that...
- Welcome home.

Truly sorry for the sudden visit.

Since you've come, you must have something to eat.

Really? Well, don't mind if I do.

Long time no see.

Did you see Mt. Fuji?

We're from Lake Kawaguchi, so we get to see it everyday.

Yamanashi side, right?

Of course. What about Yamanashi side?

Mt. Fuji is best seen from perfectly situated Shizuoka.

Mt. Fuji is best seen from the perfectly situated Yamanashi side.

- From Shizuoka...
- I'm going to prepare the food.

I'll help out then.

- ...is the highlight of Mt. Fuji.
- Lake Kawaguchi...

Why doesn't anybody wipe the table?

Yay! Zakihama family yay!

- Hamazaki-san!
- The mic.

- Get up.
- Ow.

- I've been waiting for this! Yay.
- Come on. Let's singing!

Embracing together, at a loss together.

Building a life together, wishing together.

While shaping those days...

Yay!

The Zakihama family is the greatest. Zakihama!

Zakihama! Zakihama!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I have something to show you.

Wait a second.

Here.
[divorce registration paper]

In the end, it's a will I or won't I.

I'll take your glasses.

Did we make your father drink too much?

Seems so.

- Mitsuo-kun.
- Yes.

A man and woman and a married couple are different.

Married couples and families are also different.

Turn in a paper at a government office and you're married.

A family can't be made by turning in a paper.

As for families, on a certain day and time,

drinking tea...

Sir?

- A seagull...
- Eh?

Ah. Mitsuo-kun. Sing something.

- No no, I can't.
- Julie, Julie, Julie.

I said I can't.

Facing the wind in leather shoes,

walking a distant road shoulder-to-shoulder.

My map is torn and there's no one to give me one.

That's why we walk together with arms around each others shoulders.

Your heart...

I'll be the ship to guide you through the night sea.

Ah. It's Julie. Julie.

Hush.

I've got a place to stay for the time being.

It figures. Looks like I'll have to help with

the daikon harvesting and the like after all.

Ah, what will you do? I'm sleeping with my mom.

Will you sleep over there with your father?

- I have work tomorrow.
- I see.

I can make the last train if I leave now.

My parents drank a bit.

Do you mind me leaving them here?

- Not at all.
- Thanks.

Ok.

Ah, do you ever quit?

You go on and on about the most trivial things.

You touched my phone with the hand you touched shrimp with!

Then wash it, for Christ's sake. So petty.

How about I touch your phone with the hand I touched squid with?

- You have no compassion.
- There it is: "compassion".

The magic word for covering your failings.

Get out, you little thief!

- Then write your name on it!
- I did. Look!

Do you think a man can concern himself with such things?

That's how you are. Your own...

- Get out!
- You're the one who's leaving. Time for a divorce!

- Do you know where it is? The train station.
- I've been there once before.

But there probably won't be a bus.

- It's not a long walk.
- Probably right.

Well, you better hurry.

Here.

- The station.
- Eh?

Ah, ok.

- This is probably the last time we'll see each other.
- Eh?

- That sort of thing.
- Yeah.

[platform ticket button]

The gas.

Here.

Here.

Here...

Here.

Ok.

Hm?

It's nothing.

[A train will be arriving on track 2 shortly.]

[Step back from the yellow line.]

[The door is closing.]

[Please be careful.]

Eh?

Nothing.

Ok.

- Ah.
- Hm?

- Ah!
- Hm?

We sure are a hopeless couple.

We sure are a hopeless couple.

- Oh well.
- Oh well.

Hey, get up.

Get up!

Yuka called.

- She says she's in Shin Yokohama.
- Shin...?

Shin Yokohama. She says she's with Mitsuo-kun.

Why?

But they only have 800 yen left after paying for the bullet train fare.

They're walking the way back to Meguro River.

From Shin Yokohama, that's going to take about 3-4 hours.

She says she's walked a similar distance before.

Before? What's that about?

But won't this turn into another quarrel?

I'm sure it will. Same as before.

This won't go well, so why are they together?

They couldn't part even if they wanted to.

Have you ever seen Indiana Jones?

- What was the hero's name again?
- It's Indiana Jones.

Isn't that the squid man from Pirates of the Caribbean?

That's Davy Jones. And it's an octopus, not a squid.

I don't know. I've only seen the third, after all.

Why did you skip the first two and watch only the third?

I was blown away.

The Iwanami paperback version of Crime & Punishment

is a three volume release, not two.

You skipped the middle.

What? Is there a need to say that?

Just giving the facts.

You say "that's great".

I go to a bookstore someday.

I find the middle volume of Crime and Punishment on the shelf.

Ah, Mitsuo-san hid this for me. Be still my heart.

- Is this how you want it?
- More importantly,

can you do something about this mess of organization books?

What's this? Two copies of The Tidy Wife. Eh?

- It won't open.
- You know, I'm not a can opener.

Can opener, haha.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Camping is fun. Let's go camping.

No way. There are some enormous bugs, you know.

Hey, have you ever awoke to find a beetle in your mouth?

What I get from that story is less the frightfulness

of insects than the frightfulness of your mouth.

It's burnt!

Stop screaming and turn on the fan!

All right, hand it over.

Didn't you say that pudding tastes like

- sea urchin if you put soy sauce on it?
- I did.

So after that you said you'd pick some up,

and bought sea urchin since the pudding was out of stock.

No good?

That's not it. What I'm asking for are two elephants and five zebras.

That'll be 5,000 yen.

Magical Banana - if you say banana, I think yellow.

If you say yellow, I think the sun.

If you say the sun, I think dazzling.

If you say dazzling, I think mini-skirt.

- Mini-skirt?
- Lights.

These are all sakura trees.

They'll all flower in the spring, huh?

- Is this really necessary?
- It is. It's indispensable.

- What's this?
- Yuka-san.

- Nice to meet you.
- Thanks in advance.

- I'm here to be Mitsuo's wife.
- Welcome.

- I need you to make me think...
- Ouch.

- "This person loves me, huh".
- I get it. Ow ow ow.

- I want to be pampered.
- Ow ow ow.

Hey look, it's Meguro River.

- Hamasaki Mitsuo.
- Hoshino Yuka.

Congratulations. Allow me to review.

What are you doing?

- I want octopus dumplings.
- Eh? Ocotopus dumplings?

- Yeah.
- That's Davy Jones. Octopus dumplings.

- You realize that, don't you?
- You're wrong.

- It's fried octopus. You're fine with that?
- Good evening.
- Welcome.

- One, please.
- Gotcha.

Excuse me. Didn't you have a stand at Chofu before?

Yeah, I did. Did you stop by there?

- Yes. Didn't we?
- Yep.

On the day that we first met

we had some of your octopus dumplings.

That really helped us relax.

We became close after that. Thanks to you.

So. You're a couple?

We're married.

- This way.
- Coming in.

Hippos are strong. When they want to be, probably the strongest.

- Stronger than whales?
- That depends on the place.

Whales have the edge in the sea, huh?

Yes, but if we were to expand things

and allow army ants in then it's another story.

- Army ants are strong.
- But they're so tiny.

Army ants are divided into three classes...

- Is that something you regularly think about?
- Yes.

I'm at the reception area every day, you know.

I have a lot of free time, so I get to thinking.

Here. This place under the nose.

This could serve as a chopstick rest, couldn't it?

So every time a customer comes in and I see

that spot below their nose, I imagine...

I have a proposal.

Just tell me if you don't like it.

- Sure.
- How about we hold hands?

Thought it might make us feel better.
It's fine if you don't want to, though.

No.

I was just now thinking the same thing.

A happy coincidence, then.

- So.
- So.

- What do you think memories are?
- Hm?

Like, the stuff that keeps families strong, or something.

- Like nourishment?
- Yeah.

A family is the accumulation of memories.

- I'm home.
- I'm home.

- Matilda. Hassaku.
- Hassaku. Hassaku.

- You came back?
- They're back.

- Where have you been?
- Where'd you go?

I thought you were a goner.

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy.

- So happy.
- They're back.

My students tell me that my aura has disappeared recently.

I talk to my wife about it and she says that's a good thing.

I think she's probably right.

We're expecting our child this fall.

I'm so excited that I can't stop smiling.

But it seems that it's going to be a girl.

That has me worried.

I mean, the world is crawling with lowlifes.

I'm thinking hard about how I can protect her from them.

I've been talking to my mother every day recently.

She keeps telling me to eat beans during early pregnancy.

There is still some uncertainty, but, in equal measure

also a feeling that something is changing.

There's a part of me that's constantly been focused inward.

I feel like I've had enough of that.

Rather than that, I've been thinking about

living for someone else's sake.

Eating natto while thinking about my husband and child.

In the end, it's easier to like others than to like oneself.

If you can like others, you can like yourself.

A thought while mixing natto.

The plan was to turn in the divorce papers.

I told everyone we were already divorced,

so it's hard to now say we're back together.

Still haven't turned it in, to be honest.

I haven't told my husband, but I've been taking cooking classes.

It's a lot of fun, but one thing I've realized

is that while cooking skills may improve,

they can't teach a desire to cook in the classroom.

But I made curry yesterday

and my husband told me it was delicious,

so I gave it a try...

It tasted just like beetles.

So I've been trying to reprogram myself recently.

Conditioning myself to care less.

Take DVDs. I have the disc data-side down

and I set it directly on the table.

I'm doing some wild stuff now, I tell myself.

My wife is an archetype for that kind of thing.

She handles DVDs with the hand she was eating chips with.

I really admire it. She's already god tier.

Her boorishness doubled, my patience doubled

and the pain quadrupled.

I thought marriage was torture, but I was wrong.

Marriage is the food chain.

If my wife is a tiger, I'm a deer. If she's an anteater, I'm an ant.

If she's a bee, I'm honey. And, finally, grass.

The only thing left to do is quietly wait to be eaten.

It's so hard. Four times so.

People harp about this and that, but

no one has a say in other people's affairs.

Because there are all sorts of people in this world.

That's what makes life interesting.

- Hey, Ryo-san.
- What?

- Draw a map.
- Sure.

Here's Meguro River.

What do you think these glasses are?

Hamasaki-san.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- I'm sorry.
- Yuka-san.

A delivery.

- Thank you. Yay!
- Yay!

- Go!
- Fight!

Ah. It's from Aiko-san.

- Ow!?
- What are you looking it?

Let me see.

Ow!?

Ah. Mitsuo-san. I'm sorry.

Mi-chan. Check this out, Mi-chan.

- What is it?
- It's from your grandma.

- Eh? Houtou?
- Yep.

- Hamasaki-san.
- Ah, hello.

This is some houtou from my grandmother.

- You sure?
- Please, take it if you like.

- Thank you.
- How about the four of us

- have some houtou tonight?
- Certainly.

Let's do that then.

Well, see you later.

Ah, that's right. I forgot to mention.

I have a feeling that something

has changed within me recently.

I'll respond even if someone calls me Hamazaki.

If I really think about it, either way is fine.
