Hey, come here.

YO NOHARA

Is it that time already?

Thanks. I'm happy you remembered.

Yeah, time flies.

Hanging out in this crisis?

You guys are insane.

Let's hang out some other time.

Thanks for calling.

I'll be in touch.

See you, bye.

Is it your birthday?

Yes, I'm 21 now.

How's life for a 21-year-old girl in a taxi?

It's great!

That's nice. Congratulations.

That said, I was about to die yesterday.

What happened?

I was sad and I took too many sleeping pills.

I actually have a three-year-old kid.

Don't die. Everything will be all right.

How about you? Are you happy?

Well...

You're in the way.

She'll be here soon.

Who's "she"?

My wife, she'll be here soon.

Please move. We're trying to clean up.

She's coming. From the future.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You look tired.

I couldn't sleep at all.

- Oh, birthday party? - Yes, we partied until morning.

I made it past the 300 mark!

Wow, that's great.

Two minutes, with no mistakes.

You're better than a dancer.

No, of course not.

I can't move anymore.

I can't do the lighting check.

Can you, please?

You're so out of shape!

Yes, okay.

Three minutes behind schedule.

Please mind your step as you leave.

Thank you very much.

Izumi.

Good job!

That was great.

- I'm so proud of you! Well done. - Well done.

Wasn't she great?

- The best I've seen so far. - Really?

You've been working so hard.

Theater, all clear.

Did you lose your job?

You look so young.

No, I've been doing this for some time.

Really? How's business these days?

Pretty tough, especially at night.

I see.

It's still fine during the day, but it's dead after midnight.

Tonight's show was canceled too.

Really?

Our agency has to refund the tickets.

They might go under.

Everyone's struggling, huh?

I hope this crisis ends soon.

It's incredible that they still held the Olympics.

- Sorry, can I take a toilet break? - Sure.

SCHIUMA

SCHIUMA

From 12 to 13 of the ninth part. Okay.

For the final chorus section,

no spotlight from 30 to 33 of the ninth part.

No spotlight from 30 to 33. Got it.

We'll just have to wait it out.

Yeah, I guess we've got no choice.

Let's see how things go.

Monja.

Monja.

Monja?

No, Monja, not that!

AUTOMOBILE REPAIR PLANT

FREE TONIGHT? HAVING DRINKS WITH THE GUYS!

Good morning.

- Is your birthday this month? - Yeah.

Then you get a 10% discount.

Really?

- You don't want it? - Of course I do. Thank you.

When is it?

It was yesterday.

Too bad. If it had been today, you would've got 20% off.

- Sorry, I lied. It's actually today. - Huh?

What, Mom? Have you eaten already?

- Phone's ringing. - Hey!

No peeking!

- Where's the ashtray? - It's there.

Just leave it where it is.

- Gimme that. - Are you okay?

I got a call.

Yes, I knew it.

Done.

Looks good.

Thank you.

- Don't forget those. - Oh, right.

What's that? Is that a girl's thing?

It's a barrette.

I guess I don't need it anymore.

Mom, what about dinner?

It's raised.

It's raised!

Not that! The angle is wrong.

Tilt it upwards!

Hey, Saeki! You klutz!

- The spotlight's off! - I'm sorry.

Cut the crap, not your hair, you dimwit!

Yes, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry about that mistake with the lights.

- No worries. It was only the soundcheck. - I'm sorry.

- The lights were great. - Really? Thank you.

I'll pass that on to my boss.

Some people still say "dimwit," huh?

She's always dead serious when it comes to the lights.

But she's pretty cool.

Sorry, but...

have we met before?

I have the feeling we have.

Sorry, I can't recall.

Excuse me. I look forward to the show.

Teruo?

- Hey, long time no see, Izumi. - Hey! How are you?

- You've cut your hair. - I cut it today.

Really? Wow.

- Did something good happen? - Oh? What do you mean?

You were grinning.

Really? No, not at all.

- Is that why you're drinking? - No, no...

A lot goes on in an adult's life.

- In a university student's too. - Is that so?

- I'm having drinks with my friends. - Is that right?

- Sorry to bother you. - Not at all.

- I'm now old enough to drink. - Congratulations.

- Do you have time tonight? - Yeah, I do.

Let's grab a drink.

I usually cruise around at night.

So your hours aren't fixed?

Yes, it's quite easygoing.

What makes you happy?

I would say... Narita.

Narita Airport.

- As a destination? - Yes.

It's money, after all.

Narita's far away.

Yes, it is.

But any further than that would be a pain to drive back.

From Narita, you can drive straight back on the highway.

If you want money, I can find you a job.

Sure, I need money, but it's not that important to me.

I actually like this job.

Right.

What do you like about it?

I'd like to travel somewhere...

but I don't know where to go.

So it feels nice

to keep heading towards a destination of the customers' choosing.

Makes me feel like I'm always heading somewhere.

TOMARI TREE

Dance transcends words or language.

I can't speak any English

but I can talk to people all over the world through my dancing.

After I graduate, I want to try dancing overseas.

I see.

I'm already getting invitations.

Really? Wow, that's great. Thanks.

I made a stronger one.

Are you still with the same group?

No, I do stage lighting now.

- You quit dancing? - Yeah.

I injured my foot after you left.

Badly?

Bad enough to have to give up.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, but it's fun lighting the stage.

It feels like I'm almost breathing and dancing with the performers.

I'm still a newbie, though.

Hence the hair cut?

No, that's just because I had a birthday discount.

Wait, is it today?

- Don't you need to be somewhere else? - No, not really.

Sorry it has to be here.

I'm too old for birthdays anyway.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

- It's like I'm imposing on you guys. - We're delighted to.

I can't eat this cake alone now.

I made that.

I like chocolate.

I know, but can you at least give it a try?

Let's try it together.

Okay, just one bite.

Look this way.

Maybe it's a bit too dark.

Your faces don't show.

Hey, can I move that?

The lighting man in action!

You should take a picture.

- What a craftsman. - Awesome.

Is this better?

That's great but now the spotlight's on me.

Those with blood type A seem to be the horniest.

- Really? Who said that? - I did.

I made a pie chart of my experiences and the majority were blood type A.

What's your blood type?

- What? Me? - Yes, you.

Type A.

- I'm doomed. - Pervert!

What about Ena?

I'm also type A.

- Really? The pervert duo. - Type A?

- You are pervert pair. - Not pair.

Yo, what about you?

I'm type A.

A trio of perverts! Okay, let's play a game.

Take it in turns to touch the hand of the guy you fancy.

- Here it comes. - It's just a game.

- Let's take turns. - Okay...

- Can Ena go first? - Ena will go first.

Okay, good job.

It's my turn now.

- Hey, hey, hey. - What do you think?

- What? - I am eating Ohagi with Anko.

Here you go.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Group date?

Yeah.

How's that going?

So-so.

Mine's horrible.

Is it?

There's a girl who brought her kid along.

To a group date? I don't get it.

Everyone's just fiddling with their phones.

What a waste of time.

I wish I could date a celebrity.

Celebrities don't come here.

But don't you wish for that too?

Why would I want that?

Because they're famous.

Dating a celebrity would be like a dream come true.

Even if you break up with them,

any time you see them on TV,

you'll feel proud to have dated them and feel great about it.

- I kinda get it. - Yeah?

- Yo, we're going to the next bar. - Okay.

I have to get back to Hell.

Let's be friends on Line.

Just to...

You do use Line, right?

Yeah, I do.

Then let's just be friends.

When it comes to Line, the more the merrier.

Yeah.

Here's my QR code.

- I'll scan it. - Sure.

- Thank you. - Sure.

You have a cat?

Not anymore.

But...

He belongs to someone else.

Your ex?

Well, sort of.

You're dwelling on him? That's heavy.

No, I'm not dwelling on it. Heavy?

Don't you feel heavy?

I forgot about that photo. I'm going to change it right now.

- Yes, let's change it right now. - Right now.

Oh, what is this?

Are you an old lady or something? Here.

- Were you born in the 20th century? - At the very end of it.

- Is any pic okay? - Yeah.

Then this one. There you go.

Done.

- You're still dwelling on it. - I am not.

From now on, it'll be this.

Forget the past.

You can't just tell me to forget about it.

I'll text you every day.

Every day? We've just met. Okay then.

- I might not reply, but okay. - Thank you.

Summer has arrived.

Yeah. Have a nice summer.

Not now.

You're dwelling on the past.

- No, seriously, I'm not. - What's going on?

- He is really stupid. - Why?

I have a boyfriend now. That was a long time ago.

How old are you?

Teruo has a girlfriend too, right?

Well...

She's happy and being strong.

Right. I'm sure she is.

Men fall in love with their dreams, right?

What a funny way of eating.

It tastes better this way.

Haven't you thought how nice it would be

if you could eat all the cake you wanted?

I totally understand.

I wasn't asking you.

Huh? Who are you?

Who are you?

What's with that face?

I could endure everything for the sake of dance,

even if it's cake.

I wonder how I could bear so much.

Now I can see that dancing was a great opportunity for me.

But you loved it, right?

Enough to resist cakes?

Your dancing was so beautiful.

Thanks.

You have talent, Izumi, so I think you'll do great.

You have talent too.

More than me in any case.

Who are you? Seriously?

But, seriously, you have more talent than I do.

Wait, I'm over here.

You know?

Izumi is over here.

Teruo, don't mind him.

You're so annoying!

You guys don't even see me.

That's not fair!

I hate you.

Sorry, did I wake you?

I will...

make you happy forever.

Thank you.

I took a cigarette.

This is sheer destiny.

Come back here when you're done smoking.

Good morning.

- Kick up at seven. - Okay.

Okay, one more time.

The leg and hip position is important

when you stand up.

Kick into the air.

Mouri, you should kick up the leg about now.

Then let's begin.

Over here?

- Yes, thank you. - Okay.

That'll be 1780 yen.

I have a taxi ticket.

Okay.

Please write down the fare.

Thank you.

- I'll open the door now. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

What? No.

I don't want to go to cram school either.

Hang in there, okay?

Yes.

Thank you.

What did the doctor say?

To give up dancing.

It's not going back to normal.

A healthy body is obviously important...

but you're working hard on your rehab and we'll always be there to help.

Maybe we can reduce your roles

and make things easier on you.

How can you wait for so long?

Because I want to.

You believe she's coming?

Are you also waiting?

Yes.

It's a miracle that there's someone waiting.

But what if they don't come?

Maybe it'd be good to go to them for a change.

Why are you here?

I'm taking you home.

Hey, I need that leg.

Really? You chatted with him?

I greeted him this morning too. He's amazing.

He has total faith in her.

I really hope they'll meet again.

Did he remember you?

Why didn't you reply?

I'm sorry. I was planning to do that today.

It's not funny.

I was really worried about you.

- I'm fine. - No, you're not.

I'm sorry.

But give me a bit of time.

I already have. Two weeks.

What exactly do you mean?

I'm still flustered and broken.

I didn't want to trouble you because of my situation.

Trouble me. Let's think it out together.

I want to, but I'm still...

It's always about you.

Taking it on alone and making all the decisions yourself.

You're like a "selfish machine."

Always run for the cat, just bearing, always go to Yakitori.

Is this about last month?

You always go to Toriki, even on days off.

- Then tell me. - Then ask me.

Anyway, Toriki doesn't matter.

You could be a movie star.

I'm here to support you.

Until you heal and even after you heal.

Even if you can't dance anymore,

we'll work like normal and live happily together.

- What do you mean? - Exactly what I said.

No matter how much you change, my feelings for you won't change.

I'll still love you.

If you'd still love me if I changed, then you don't love who I am now.

Stop sounding like a girl.

It's got nothing to do with gender.

I'm saying that I love who you are.

So whatever version of Teruo you turn into,

I will still love you.

It's pretty easy to imagine.

Working a normal job and having fun on our days off.

Sometimes cooking a meal.

I love that Teruo too.

You don't know me as a non-dancer.

What are you so angry about?

Nothing.

I'll still love you no matter what you are.

What is it? I can't understand you if you won't tell me what's wrong.

What?

It's nothing. I'm sorry.

I'm the one who doesn't understand.

Why are you saying these things?

Communication breakdown.

Maybe we never did communicate.

Do you know how worried I've been these past two weeks?

Forget it.

- Forget what? - Nothing.

I'm at the point of not knowing whether I can keep on dancing or not.

I wanted to see you after everything's clear.

I need to know if I can continue dancing or if I have to find something else.

That's not what I want.

You say you're doing it for me, but it's all about you.

Here we are. Take care when you get out.

That'll be 2240 yen, but 2500 yen is fine.

Why are you acting like this?

Please get out.

Hey, this is for you.

Let's eat together.

I'm trying to apologize

Taxi fare is 2240 yen.

Please understand that I just need some time.

And you don't come running after me.

- I'm into Tanaka. - He's popular.

You gotta move fast.

He'd definitely be into you.

He just won't listen.

There's no stopping him once he starts running.

Today's youth are hopeless.

What do you want for dinner?

- Curry. - Curry?

- Fried chicken. - You want fried chicken?

So, where to next?

You're fine.

There's always the next one.

Who's gonna trust a third-timer like you?

Stop bullying me!

Three times is really crazy.

If you need to throw up, I can pull over.

Excuse us, driver, he just got divorced today.

The world's full of cooler guys than you.

- Can I smoke? - No, sorry.

Can you let him smoke, just for today?

- Sorry, that's not possible. - Only one, please.

Hey, what's this?

Sorry, I'll take that.

- This is nice. Is it for you? - It's garbage.

He can have it as a divorce gift.

- I don't want this trash. - Of course not. Who'd want this?

- Please have it. - Accept her present. C'mon!

Who would want this garbage?

Seriously, you can have it.

It's a present. Now take it!

Just take it!

Sorry, I was just joking.

- Here's an ashtray. - Great.

TO TERUO GOOD LUCK

Teruo, you're late.

Really?

It's seven minutes past.

Seven minutes past what?

I don't know, but it's past that time.

I have no idea.

Did you sleep?

Yeah.

I want to see Teruo.

I'm here.

When I sleep, I don't get to see you.

Well, then...

let's meet in our dreams.

Where in our dreams?

In our dreams...

on Third Street, block 5-1.

Where's that?

Near the candy shop.

The candy shop?

Turn here, then you turn around.

Then you go straight

all the way up this road.

And then what?

Where?

Yo?

Good morning, Yo.

You're awake.

Hey, Yo?

What's this?

- Santa came? - It's from Santa? Really?

Santa Claus?

He came through the window last night.

Poor Santa, having to work on his off season.

What's this?

- Can I open it? - Yes.

Santa...

Wow, how nice.

It's pretty.

It's so beautiful.

But what is it?

- It's a barrette. - A barrette?

Here, let me.

Let's try it on.

Should I turn around?

- It's dangerous. - I almost fell.

How is it?

It looks really nice.

- It'll look good when you're dancing. - Really?

I can't see it but thank you.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

It's time.

Hurry up!

Wait.

Are you ready?

Careful!

Ouch.

Excuse us. This is for you.

Thank you.

Oh right, today's...

He never misses the monthly anniversary.

- Respect. - Yeah.

CLOSED

It's alright, hurry up.

Is it okay to be in here?

If we get caught, we'll just apologize.

This is amazing.

How can they breathe when their mouths are always open?

Fish breathe through their gills. They're fine.

What are those?

They're pilchards, true sardines.

What's that black one?

- Which one? - That one.

That's a beard grunt.

It's rare to see him out here. He's usually hiding.

Maybe he feels relaxed when there's no one around.

Why do you work here?

These fish seem free, but actually they're not.

And they somehow make me feel free from gravity.

But it's mostly because I like fish.

I like birds too.

Then let's go hiking.

I like the sea better. Let's go to the sea.

And Battleship Island.

That's a lot to visit.

What about you, Yo?

Let me see.

I'd like to eat sushi.

Don't say that in front of the fish.

Hey, doesn't it feel like we're the only people on Earth?

Yeah, it's so cool.

Isn't it?

- But I feel it more than you. - No, I feel it too.

Are you a teenager?

No, I'm 30 today. Sorry that I still sound like a teenager.

Hey, Teruo. Look!

It's all mine.

Show me your dance.

What? Here?

Okay, then I'll dance.

That's very nice.

What's that? A fish?

Yeah.

- Oh my gosh. - What?

Wait, hold on.

I can't. Not here.

You could be a movie star.

I really wouldn't want to do that.

I'm being serious.

Everyone wants to be a movie star.

I'm not saying it right.

I have everything planned out for me and it's going just fine.

Don't laugh, be serious.

Sorry, you seemed to be enjoying it.

You were in theater club, right?

Careful! You're crazy!

This is scary.

Yeah, Jim made me an offer.

Jim Jarmusch?

I can only say Jim.

Oh right. Jim Carrey?

This is great, but are you sure you should be using the taxi?

I begged my boss.

- And he said it was okay? - Nope.

They'll fire me if they find out.

You're insane.

Like I told you, I'm gonna be a mechanic.

The camera's still rolling.

How is this night sky drive, sir?

It's the best.

Wow, there's so many stars.

It's like driving along the Milky Way.

- The backstreet route. - Doesn't that take longer?

- I'm avoiding traffic. - Oh, I see.

So, where to, sir?

Take me past that star.

Fasten your seat-belt, please.

And now you're fired.

Yeah, I'm totally screwed.

You could be a movie star.

Like I told you, I'm gonna be a mechanic.

Is it lit?

Yeah.

- It's so pretty. - I'm gonna get burned.

It's so pretty.

Twirl around.

What's the matter?

I was just thinking...

people are living.

What is it?

I was just thinking how beautiful you are.

Shut up.

Teruo?

Please stay well, and tomorrow too.

What's gotten into you?

And the day after tomorrow too.

Please stay alive forever.

You too, Yo.

Health is my strong point.

Winona Ryder is so cool. She sticks to her guns.

Yeah, she's cool.

I don't even have a life plan.

I'm just taking a smooth detour through life.

I'd take up that movie star offer, even if I couldn't be one.

Of course you could be one.

I definitely want a family.

It's nothing.

What do you prefer, subtitles or dubs?

Subtitles.

Why?

Because I can focus more on the movie.

And I can hear the actors' own words.

Why are there so many languages?

What do you mean?

It'd be a lot easier if everybody spoke the same language.

But words don't always convey one's true feelings or thoughts.

Some things don't even need words.

Silence doesn't work.

I'm watching the movie.

Seems sad to only have three long candles.

Maybe.

Was it better with 30 short candles?

Let's do that on your birthday.

Please don't, seriously.

Strawberry?

I only want the strawberry.

- It's good. - It's so good.

I'll propose to you on my birthday next year.

- What? - Did I say something?

Wait, yes, you said something.

- No, I didn't. - Yes, you did.

- Did I? - What did you just say?

- You said something. - Did I say something?

Don't fool me. You taste like strawberry.

You mean on your birthday next year?

Or on mine? Mine's in May.

Next year or tomorrow...

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

I can't wait till tomorrow.

- Tomorrow's so soon. - Very soon.

Tomorrow? Really?

Great.

Again?

Isn't it too much?

- Is that a no? - I didn't say no.

- So it's okay? - Yeah.

- You taste like cake. - You too.

- Really? - Your face is full of cake.

Full of cake.

WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW?

I HAVE A CLASS AND THEN WORK.

OKAY.

IT'LL RAIN TOMORROW. TAKE CARE.

Do you mind if I take the backstreets to avoid traffic?

Okay.

So, shall we meet at five o'clock?

Yeah, it's all fine with me.

Get yourself squeaky clean, okay?

Okay, see you later.

Hi, it's me.

I have a meeting, so I'll be late today.

I'll eat with Yuka tomorrow.

What? It's work. I have no choice.

Sorry.

The taxi driver's pretty rough. No, I'm all right.

Anyway, tell Yuka for me, okay?

Teruo?

What's going on?

No way.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

- That's expensive stuff. - I worked hard for that.

Okay, guys, let's take a photo.

You're too kind.

- Please open it later. - Closer.

Say cheese.

You're too rigid! Smile more.

Say cheese.

Thanks so much.

You're welcome. Please open it when I'm not around.

Teruo, let's go.

Are you okay?

Yes, she said she's gonna get some umbrellas.

Your wife?

Why don't you wait in my taxi?

She'll be back very soon.

- But... - I'm fine.

Hold this while I go look for her.

Hey, wait.

Teruo, come out with us to celebrate your birthday.

Thanks, but I have to work.

When does it start?

Soon. But thanks anyway.

Good luck with work.

- Thanks again for the present. - It was nothing.

- Gotta go. Good night. - Sure, good night.

Over here!

What a relief.

I'm sorry to have troubled you.

I'm glad you met each other.

Thanks.

Thank you. We finally found each other.

Thank you.

TOMARI TREE

Really? Then all's well.

But my figures today were bad. My boss was furious.

There are always days like that.

It was pointless to go looking for her.

That's not true.

They met each other because you helped make his wish come true.

That's how things go.

He always goes there every year

on the anniversary of the day they first met.

That's called love.

Love is such a convenient word.

I guess you don't understand love yet.

Love?

Is love something to cling on to?

It's not about doing something.

It's not about demanding something in return either.

After all...

love is an escape route.

Is it?

That's why it's good.

Not everyone's as strong as you think.

Caring for each other.

Trusting each other.

What connects people...

are feelings and thoughts.

It all falls down as soon as you put words to...

And there goes the truth.

You're such a wise man.

One who's secretly in love.

Still?

I might give up soon.

I'm a sucker for cute smiles.

How's it going now?

It doesn't matter.

What about you?

I don't know what he's thinking.

You're not together yet?

I'm ignoring him right now.

- You had an argument? - Not really.

- Teruo's not coming today? - He had to work.

Right, it's Tuesday.

I don't get it.

He does message me but he remains distant.

At least that's the vibe I'm getting.

I'm scared I'll lose myself if we get together.

Ouch.

It's his birthday, so I'll send him a little reply.

But he doesn't really seem like the birthday type.

That's not for you to decide.

Good evening.

- Hey, good evening. - I'm starving.

What's the matter? Would you like meat or rice?

How about... both?

Both? Okay.

Okay then, time to take a hint.

How about a drink?

A wheat soda with two slices of lemon.

Two slices of lemon? Okay.

- Why are you so hungry today? - I didn't have time to eat.

Nohara, what's up?

- What's this? - Why? Wait!

Wait!

Hey, stop!

- Why are you running? - Why are you chasing me?

- Because you're running. - Yeah, because you're chasing me.

What's the matter?

Bad day at work?

You're all sweaty.

It stinks.

I'm so sorry.

It's painful.

Okay.

Regretful.

Regretful.

Stupid.

I'm the stupid one.

What are we?

Huh?

Sorry, don't answer that. I'm so stupid.

But your heart's already saying it.

What? Shut up.

Let your heart speak too.

What's this?

Your birthday present.

This is way too much!

Thanks, I'm so happy.

What is this?

It's not rolling back.

Thank you.

It's stopped raining.

What are you thinking about?

Don't you think he's a bit slow, from a professional point of view?

Is that it?

But really...

Ouch!

Please stop here.

Since we became really close...

I thought it would screw things up if I said so.

But I need to tell you.

This is like some romantic movie.

There should be some lovely music playing right about now.

What?

Sorry, go on.

Well...

I want to be honest with you.

What?

I kinda lost it right there.

- Huh? - It's nothing.

What?

- It's nothing. - What?

Nothing.

You can't back down now.

What?

I'm sorry, but it's better to say things while you still can.

I stopped the meter.

Well...

I don't want you to go home tonight.

I mean...

the way you say whatever's on your mind.

The way you act before thinking.

The way you act tough when you're actually scared.

And also...

the way you laugh about everything.

How you start dancing spontaneously.

I love your strange voice.

And I love your name, Yo Nohara.

- Keep going. - What?

What?

And so...

- It's time for you to go. - I know.

Then hurry up.

I'm sorry.

- I'm going now. - Good luck.

- Your drink bottle. - Thank you.

Good luck.

For you.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

I'm so happy.

WE ARE PATHETIC

- Thank you. - Congratulations.

Have a happy life.

Together forever.

Still I keep walking, sometimes remembering.

Waking up from one dream to another.

Until I meet you, shining brightly.

Thank you for coming to watch us tonight.

I'm so happy our opening night was a success.

Thank you to those who came to see us.

Let's keep up the good work.

We will.

Let's become legendary.

Cheers!

Cheers!

- Well done. - Thank you.

Well done.

Hey, it's Yo!

- Good work. - So happy to see you!

Thanks for coming.

How was it?

- It was good. - Really?

It was, wasn't it? Honestly...

I think it went great.

I know it sounds weird for me to say it, but we were perfect.

Satsuki.

We'll talk later.

Is that really all?

You looked like you had more to say.

It's their first night, so...

Imagine that I'm Satsuki and try it on me.

No.

Well...

tonight's performance was good.

But the play itself was a bit off.

Honestly, I thought it was a failure.

Incorporating dance into it is fine...

but even though the dancers are part of the play,

they didn't seem to fit in.

Maybe the dances were too beautiful.

I choreographed the dancing.

- Oh, you're the choreographer? - And a dancer too.

Yes.

What's going on?

Congratulations!

Wait, what?

Oh, my bag.

Hello! Is anyone there?

Anybody?

What are you doing?

It's closing time.

I'm just...

bouldering?

I'm sorry about everything.

No, it's all right.

You clicked your tongue.

What? No, I didn't.

I can see it in your eyes.

No way.

- Now that was for real. - No.

Now that's definitely your tongue clicking.

- Did I click my tongue? - Huh?

Yes, a few times.

Is it a habit?

- Not at all. - Oh, okay.

What was that? A habit?

- Buy me a beer. - A beer? Of course, definitely.

- My tongue might stop clicking then. - Just like hiccups?

Defeated on opening night.

I'm really sorry.

And on your birthday too, right?

But at least you were honest.

Yes.

I think you're right.

- What did I say again? - Huh?

That the dancing was too beautiful.

It was the first time I got to do the choreography for a play.

I wasn't so sure of myself.

I'm cocky enough to criticize others,

but I've also been told I'm bad.

I used to act.

Really? You don't act anymore?

Nice music.

What was that?

You're dead if you miss the spots.

That's impossible.

- Like this? - Yeah, like that.

- There's no spot there. - There is.

You're dead.

My name is Teruo Saeki.

- What's yours? - Not gonna tell you.

We won't meet again anyway.

You were watching us closely.

Yes, yes.

- How am I? - Good.

Don't lie.

What now?

- Me, dance? - Please dance.

Excellent.

Okay then, what should I do?

Pull.

- Fly. - Fly?

Fly again.

Pull.

- Copy me. - Okay.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

Good.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

And again.

I'm flying!

- Wanna fly again? - Wait.

I'm flying!

I'm sorry, I can't find the way out.

Let me show you.

Thank you.

Have we met before?

I have the feeling we have.

Yes, a couple of times.

All set?

TUESDAY, JULY 27

What are you thinking about?

Just stuff.

Done. What do you think?

I told you that the cream comes first.

The cream, you know, the ones that look like raindrops.

Yes, but don't make them so big.

A bit more pointed, like a candle.

- Okay. - Where's the plate?

- What? - It was here.

- In the fridge? - Oh, I see.

What do you think?

- It's nice. - Is it?

But you're so flexible.

You think so?

He's so cute when he's lost.

Here we go.

To celebrate your mom's delivery day.

Thanks so much.

Open up wide.

It's too big!

Welcome back.

Sorry, did I wake you?

No, don't worry.

Business was bad today.

What's with the cake?

I just craved something sweet.

Want it now? I'll make some tea.

No, let's have it tomorrow.

Weren't you craving some?

Nah, let's have it tomorrow.

Okay then. Well, good night.

Good night.

JUST REMEMBERING
