Original subtitles

Why don't we go see a firework festival together?

Eh?

I know that I'm being selfish.

But, I want us to start over.

From the place we were at that time.

? It was only a little, but the two of us were hurt ?

? Following our dream ?

It has to be you, Akari.

? however we want ?

Would you marry me?

? Without finding any answer, ?

? the world continues on spinning ?

I tried to give up on you.

But, I couldn't do it.

I couldn't tell you about the letter and had kept lying to you.

But my feelings for you was always sincere.

I have seen you going through those happy

and tough times right next to you.

I want to keep supporting you, for 10, 20 or more years.

? Unfulfilled wish ?

I want to make you happy.

? The summer and miracle you gave me ?

? I won't forget it ?

? the overflowing emotion hidden in the twilight. So why ?

I'm home.

- Hi.- Hi.

- Oh, did you meet Akari after that?- Yeah.

Oh, right.

I will give you these. Thank you for helping me today.

Why don't you two go?

Hana-yashiki! I always wanted to go there.

- Are you sure it's okay?- Yeah.

Okay! Nanami-chan, when shall we go?

I'm not going.

He was serious right? He thought about it for a second and gave these to us, right?

You got proposed?

Shota always surprises me.

Of course you refused, right?

- I couldn't say anything. - Eh?

Because he said that out of a blue.

I have never seen Shota like that before.

You know, Shota sure has changed.

Then, what are you going to do?

Kohei? Are you awake?

Hhmm?

Do you have any plans for your future?

Future?

Yeah.

Things like jobs, parents

and marriage.

Why are you asking me that suddenly?

Well...

You know, people around our age don't think about marriage, yet, right?

I have not accomplished much in terms of my work, and

I couldn't even see my own future,

how could I think of someone else's future?

The truth is today...

I accidentally saw Shota,

proposing to Akari.

He...

he said he would support her 20 more years.

I don't have the determination to do that.

KoinakaEpisode 8

About the aquarium in Hachioji, our client approved it.

They said they would start the construction with this plan.

Okay, now we can feel at ease a little.

I don't want to think about the fish anymore.

Everyone, good job!!

- Was the Penguin Cafe okay?- Yeah.

- Even the employees loved it.- Really?- Yeah.

- It's great, isn't it?- Yes.

Then, then. then...

Why don't we have a party?

To celebrate the success of the Penguin Cafe.

I want to go. How about a beer garden since the summer will be over soon?

This is not a time for you to be festive yet.

Isn't the deadline for the newbie contest coming soon?

I have already submitted mine.

That's so expected of you. How about you, Aoi?

Oh, well. I am still tackling it.

I know that theme is a tough one.

- What was it?- A house that stands for 100 years.

you don't have much time. Are you going to be okay?

I will make it in time, somehow.

? I am having fun. I love it. ?

I'm home!

Hi. Would you help me, Aoi?

What are you doing this time?

Don't be surprised. You know,

our Nanami-chan

- got a job!!- Seriously?

Okay, okay.

For some reason,

- it made me cry.- Get down, already.

There was someone who understood how nice Nanami-chan is.

I have seen her working very hard, right next to her.

Right. Where is Nanami?

She will be home soon.

- I'm home.- Welcome home.

Welcome back.

Hello.

What's going on?

Well, we haven't celebrated her passing the exam.

Kohei said he would celebrate for me, so I wanted to celebrate together.

Thank you for yesterday.

Hey, hey, hey. Sit down.

- Nanami, congratulations.- Thank you.

Where are you going to work?

Ever Travel.

- That's great. Good for you.- Yeah.

Oh? You are not happy?

Of course, I am happy.

But, I feel a little anxious.

I wonder what my life is gonna be like from now on.

Getting a job and getting married are milestones in life, they say.

Why don't we toast?

Right.

Nanami-chan, what would you like to drink?

- Oh right.- What?

Today, my mom sent me ice from home.

I don't want it.

- Aoi, is beer okay for you? - Yeah.

Well then.

To celebrabe for Nanami's getting a job and Akari's passing the exam,

Cheers!

Hey, hey.

Nanami-chan is done with job hunting,

so why don't we go play somewhere together?

Like where?

A mountain, a beach or a swimming pool.

Sorry, I will pass on that. There is a contest coming up.

Contest?

It's an architect contest for new-comers.

I have to make a model and prepare for the presentation by the screening day.

- When is it?- August 31.

- Can we go see it?- Yeah.

Okay, count on us for cheering on you.

It's not like a sports event in high schools.

You are coming, too, Akari?

Akari?

Huh? Yeah, I will.

Let me use the bathroom. where was it?

- That way.- Oh, that way.

So, it's okay now?

Is something going on between you and Akari again?

Hmm? Not really.

There is no more beer.

Well, then I will go buy some.

No, it's okay. I will go since it's late.

I'll be fine. Kohei will come with me.

- You don't want to?- With pleasure.

See you later.

My summer is coming finally.

[ Congratulations! Nanami-chan and Akari! ]

My goodness.

Hmm? What's the matter?

- Let's go.- Yeah.

I didn't bring my wallet.

Oh?

Where are Kohei and Nanami-chan?

Oh, they went shopping.

I see.

The air is getting cooler.

Summer is over, I wonder.

I guess.

The firework festival is around the corner.

Sumida River festivatl? It's over.

No. The one in Toyama.

August 31.

The same date as your contest.

Yeah.

Hey, Aoi.

Hmm?

I was... proposed by Shota.

If I accept it, on August 31,

he wants me to go to that place.

He wants to see the firework together.

Well, are you going?

I don't know yet.

What do you think?

Well, are you asking me?

There is no point in asking you, right?

I am going home now. Thank you for having me.

Akari.

Well...

go home safely.

Yeah. See you.

- I am back. - He is back.

You have a guest, Miura-kun.

Shota.

He came to thank us for the summer festival.

- Hey.- Hi.

I... proposed to Akari.

If she is going to accept, I told her to meet me at the fireworks festival in Toyama.

You... needed to tell me that?

I wanted to tell you personally.

I... used to think I am no match for you, Aoi.

You are always in Akari's mind.

That is why I can't even compete with you.

So I tried to give up on Akari.

I couldn't do that in the end.

I need Akari by me.

I... have a confidence to make her happy.

What about you, Aoi?

I couldn't say anything.

He lost his control more than any time before, right?

I thought you were getting back with Ruiko, but that's what was happening?

Is that the reason why you can't focus on the project?

You are a kid. Love and work are two different things.

But it is like... from hearing that,

he's young but mature.

Isn't that right? He is a great doctor, right?

Nothing wrong with his specs, and top of that, he is totally determined.

Yes.

Isn't he cool?

He is someone who is honest to his feeling.

Compare to that, you, Miura-kun.

Boys nowadays are like that.

Giving up so easily without trying.

Well... don't say like that.

Men in Aoi's age don't usually think about marriage, yet. Right?

After all, to all men, getting married is

being responsible for the partner's life.

Not many men can decide to do that at such young age.

Who cares about someone's opinion anyway?

It is up to what you want to do.

You should stop her. You like her, don't you?

What... what the most important is not the specs but love.

I think I still lost on that as well.

Well, of course, I want to be with her.

However, he is thinking far ahead of that.

How can I compete with that?

That is what I thought.

- Well, let's drink.- Yes.

Excuse me.

- Sorry, I am late. - Not at all.

Kokone-chan is transferring tomorrow, right?

I hope she gets better there.

Serizawa-san is also coming to say bye to her tomorrow, right?

Yes.

How is it going with her?

- I broke up with her.- Eh?

But... I proposed to her.

Why did you do that after breaking up?

Because we broke up, I realized that

it has to be her.

I see.

What did you want to talk to me about?

It's okay. It's over now.

Eh?

I feel relieved. Let's order something.

This is your treat, okay?

Do you want to look at the menu?

- Seriously? - Yup.

What do I want?

Kokone-chan?

Serizawa. What is going on?

Came to send you off.

Good luck on treatment over there as well, alright?

You are making me feel depressed? Stop that.

If you get well, let's go eat pancakes again.

No going! Make me tired to go out with you.

I will wait for you anyway.

Kokone. Sorry for the wait.

How are you feeling? It takes about 2 hours in the airplane.

I am fine.

Thank you very much for everything.

Not at all.

Bye. I don't think I will see you guys again.

Kokone!

I don't know what happened, but

you two look good, I think.

It wasn't bad... the stay at this hospital.

- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.

Thank you...

for being her tutor.

I am glad... to get to know her as well.

This.

It's a ticket for the bullet train.

I will be waiting.

[ Tokyo - Toyama ]

Shota kun is serious.

- Hey, Akari. - Yeah?

I put myself in your shoes and thought about Shota-kun.

What happened?

I was simply... happy.

Sorry.

Well, of course I had bad thoughts about him when I heard about the letter.

But... that shows how serious he was.

Since high school, he only has you in his mind.

Isn't it rare to find nowadays? It's almost like a living national treasure.

Plus, they say for girls, being loved is better than loving someone.

[ 72nd Toyama Minato FestivalFireworks Festival ]

[ August 31, 2015 (Mon)Starts at 8pm ]

For Toyama - Valid only on August 31.

Requirements for the 27th New Architect Design Contest - August 31 (Mon)

Theme"A house to last for 100 years "

There was no lie in my feeling towards Akari.

Next 10 and 20 years, I want to be next to you to support you.

I have confidence to make her happy.

I am back.

Miura-kun, in regards to the floor plan for the Kurata residence,

Miura-kun?

Yes? Ah, yes, the floor plan, right?

- Yes.- Which project you said?

The Meows.

Oh okay. The Meows.

- The Meows?- Yeah.

Let's go.

Let's meow.

The Meows?

This place is good, right?

Yes, it is tasty. This is very unlikely.

Yes, this tempura is very unlikely.

- This is called cat's claws among the regulars.- I'm not talking about Temura...

I wasn't talking about the tempura.

You inviting me is very unlikely.

I saw the horoscope on the TV this morning, I am Aries by the way,

it said to give me luck if I treat a lost sheep with buckwheat noodles.

What kind of a horoscope is that?

Have you decided on the concept for the contest?

Well, not yet.

Sorry. That is what I meant.

Eh?

- You know, Miura-kun. - Yes.

Don't you think that love-and-work relationship is somewhat similar to noodle-and-dipping sauce relationships?

What do you mean?

Once upon a time,

there was a worker who couldn't make good buckwheat noodles.

But after he made tasty dipping sauce, then he was able to make tasty buckwheat noodles.

What are you talking about?

I am telling you to do what you can do for now.

You never know where you find the answer.

Why don't you go for the contest?

You might see something else.

Aoi, I am going home.

Okay. Good night.

You...

Bye.

I wish it to run through from the mountain side to ocean side.

If we do that, we are going to struck in the bathroom.

What?

You see, don't you think it is fantastic to connect both mountain and ocean?

When you think about nature and how the wind flow.

That means, if we move the bathroom to--

I got it.

I am done!

August 31.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You look stiff. Are you nervous already?

No, I am not.

Good luck on the presentation today.

Thanks.

Akari-chan will be there, too, right?

No.

Why?

Don't you want her to see your hard work?

You should ask her.

[ I know this is sudden. Can you come to see my presentation for the contest today? ]

[ The 27th Newcomer Design Contest ]

Ah, this is it.

27th Newcomer Construction Design ContestTheme: A house to remain for 100 years.

Participants Waiting Room

[ From: NanamiIt is getting crowded. I am saving a seat for Akari-chan. ]

I am nervous.

Let's do our best.

Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Please enter the hall.

That's Shimano Jin!

Everyone is here, including Mariko-san.

We'll begin the 27th

New Comer's Architect Contest presentations.

Entry No.1,

Kawano Yuri-san

from Tsushima Architect Agency.

The external walls are earthquake-proof and have durability,

so the color won't fade after 100 years.

That's the end. Thank you very much.

She is great as always, right?

- I was so nervous. - You did great.

Entry No.12,

Miura Aoi-san

from Miwa Mariko Architect Agency.

- Yes.- Good luck!

Aoi! Best in Japan!

Stop it. You are embarrassing us.

Hello, I'm Miura Aoi. Nice to meet you.

The house is built not vertically, but horizontally,

to value the harmony between nature and a structure.

- This single... I'm sorry.- Ugh!

This single storied house can easily blends with the surrounding nature.

By using these beams, able to create spacious high ceilings,

also able to enjoy the calming atmosphere.

The spaces devided into two, and warm sunlight filtered through foliage

will shine into the living room.

There is no wall between living room and bed room,

so bed room is extension of living room.

It's open feeling wherever you are,

so you don't feel suffocated in one room.

There is a kitchen right next to it,

you can smell the delicious meal wherever you are.

That's the end. Thank you so much.

Yo! Best in Japan!

Good job.

I was nervous.

Entry No. 13, Ichikawa Junya-san

from Atelier Kondo.

Hello?

Hello, Akari?

You did well at presentation.

- Thank you for coming.- Aoi...

you were nervous as hell, weren't you?

I wasn't.

Your voice was cracking.

Shut up.

You fumbled on words eight times.

Don't count it!

You always stumble at an important moment.

You haven't changed at all.

You never betray my expectation.

So what if I haven't matured yet.

But, I loved it because it was your design.

Akari... where are you now?

Hokuriku Shinkansen?bullet train) is departing from platform 20

for Hanagawa shortly.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Wait.

Aoi! Good work today.

You were so nervous, weren't you?

Akari-chan came, didn't she?

What's wrong?

Akari...

went to Toyama.

After Shota proposed her,

I think she went to meet him.

Miura-kun, what are you doing? They'll announce the result soon.

Miura-kun?

Yes.

We have two recipients for second place.

Minami Yuji-san from Atelier Tsuzuki.

From Miwa Mariko Archtect Agency...

Tominaga Mirei-san!

Mirei-chan!

Good job!

Now it's time to announce the first prize.

The first prize goes to...

Kitagawa Archtect Design Institute,

Satonaka Kentaro-san. Congratulations!

This year, we made an exception

to announce the architect who was admired by judges.

The prize goes to...

Miwa Architect Agency,

Miura Aoi-san.

Did she say Miura Aoi?

- You did it.- Eh?

- Miura-kun!- Aoi!

Now we'd like to hear few words from prize recipients.

First, the person who was admired by judges, Miura Aoi-san.

I really appreciate choosing my design.

Thank you very much.

I'll take this prize as an encouragement and I'll continue to work hard.

- Short speech!- That's all?

Wait a minute.

Hello, I'm Shimano Jin, the head judge.

Can I ask you a few questions?

- Sure.- The theme is to design the house that lasts 100 years.

Everyone else designed focusing on stability and earthquake-proof.

But your design... how should I say...?

It was a quite normal residence.

- I'm sorry.- Not at all.

That's why it made me curious.

I want to know what was your thought when you designed this.

Well...

I...

think when the building is done

when nobody wants it.

No matter how durable it is,

if nobody wants to be living in it,

then it will be an abandon house.

So... I designed this house

for a person to love

for 100 years.

I see.

However...

the person who will be living

is me.

This is the house

I want to live in the future.

I wondered what kind of house

that I want to live for 100 years.

I understood.

By the way,

did you design this house to live with someone?

This is not a house for single person, right?

Share the same space with respect for each other.

And keeping the comfortable distance.

Isn't that your intention of this space?

When you become an architect, build me a house like this.

You are terrible at drawing.

It's great that your creation can put smile on someone.

I love it... everything that you create.

It's like a part of you.

Make me feel at ease.

Miura-kun?

Living room...

Living room... has a large space

so many people can gather anytime.

I love the lively atmosphere.

I am going to have a dog, too.

Also... I got rid of one of the wall in bed room,

so it won't be a confined space.

So she won't feel lonely being in bed room.

She always felt lonely since she was young.

She pretend to be tough, but...

she hates to be alone.

Compare to living room, bed room is a bit small.

But it was on purpose, so you she reach out easily

to the bookshelves.

She can read her favorite manga

while she's lying down on bed.

I wanted the color of the roof to be blue, but

probably it'll be red.

[ Roof MUST be red!! ]

Because I don't think she'll give in.

So I gave up.

- I'm sorry...- Not at all.

It's been a while,

seeing someone so passionate about designing.

You are so passionate that you fumbled on words during the presentation.

I'm sorry.

You should never lose a person like that.

You want to be with her for 100 years, don't you?

Then, you shouldn't let her go.

Byebye... Aoi.

Excuse me.

? The wind that blows in the gap of time ?

? In the corner of the classroom ?

? Your hair was swaying, and I was just charmed ?

? I fell in love with you. It's almost as if ?

? we walked the skies everyday ?

? It was only natural to be by your side ?

? I've always imagine in the future would be the same ?

? In the summer you were here, unable to express ?

? my feelings well, oh. ?

[ Next on finaly episode, 15 minutes extended broadcast. ]? Why are our two hearts drifting away? So why... ?

I don't want to lose Akari every again.[ Aoi... ]

I feel the same way, Aoi. [ or Shota... ]

I know Akari would be happy whether she chooses Shota or Aoi.

How come we couldn't talk like this back then?

After seven years,

many things have changed.

I can't wait

for this year's fireworks festival.

If you feel same way that I do, then come to me.

I'll be waiting for you at that place.
