1
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:12,080
Hey...
2
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:14,880
They say it's five centimeters per second.
3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,420
Huh? What is?
4
00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:21,030
The speed at which cherry blossoms fall.
It's five centimeters per second.
5
00:00:22,770 --> 00:00:25,330
You sure know a lot of stuff like that, Akari.
6
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:31,820
Say... don't you think it kinda looks like snow?
7
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:33,280
I guess...
8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,490
Hey! Wait up!
9
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:46,090
Akari!
10
00:00:46,170 --> 00:00:46,970
Takaki-kun!
11
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:53,720
It'd be great if we could watch the cherry
blossoms fall again together next year.
12
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:08,640
"To Thono Takaki-sama."
13
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:11,270
"It's been a really long time."
14
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:21,860
"Summer's pretty hot around here,
but compared to Tokyo, it's so much milder."
15
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,910
"But when I think about it,
I liked Tokyo's hot, humid summers, too."
16
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:30,540
"The melting-hot asphalt,"
17
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,930
"the distant skyscrapers, shimmering in the heat,"
18
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,460
"and the freezing air-conditioning
in department stores and on subways."
19
00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:41,350
"The last time we were together was at our elementary school graduation."
20
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:43,350
"It's already been half a year since."
21
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:46,160
"So, Takaki-kun..."
22
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:49,890
"...do you still remember me?."
23
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:56,210
"Dear Takaki-kun..."
24
00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:57,910
"Thanks for replying."
25
00:01:57,980 --> 00:01:59,500
"It made me so happy."
26
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,710
"It's already well into autumn and the
leaves are turning beautiful colors."
27
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,380
"I had to pull out a sweater the day before yesterday for the first time this year."
28
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:10,970
Tohno-kun.
29
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,010
Senpai.
30
00:02:12,490 --> 00:02:14,010
What's that? A love letter?
31
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:15,240
That's not it.
32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,090
Sorry for having asked you to do all that.
33
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:18,460
No problem, I finished quickly.
34
00:02:18,460 --> 00:02:21,170
Thanks. So, is it true that you'll be transferring schools?
35
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:23,360
Ah, yes, at the end of the year.
36
00:02:23,470 --> 00:02:24,290
Where to?
37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Kagoshima. Because of my parents.
38
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,760
I see... it'll be lonely around here without you.
39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,310
"I'm actually writing this letter on the train because practice has been starting really early lately."
40
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:36,590
"I had my hair cut the other day."
41
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:39,000
"It's so short you can even see my ears..."
42
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:43,360
"...so you probably wouldn't even recognize me if you saw me."
43
00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:44,160
I'm back.
44
00:02:44,290 --> 00:02:45,170
Welcome home.
45
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:58,990
"I bet you're changing little by little too, Takaki-kun."
46
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:14,700
"Dear Takaki-kun..."
47
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:18,390
"Have you been doing well during these cold days?"
48
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:25,820
"It's already snowed a number of times here."
49
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:30,260
"Every time it does, I wrap myself in layers of clothes when I go to school."
50
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:33,870
"It hasn't snowed in Tokyo yet, right?."
51
00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:36,120
"Even though I moved away..."
52
00:03:36,230 --> 00:03:39,510
"...I still look at Tokyo's weather forecast out of habit."
53
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,630
Wish it would rain one of these days...
54
00:03:45,630 --> 00:03:47,630
It wouldn't be any better indoors.
55
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:51,090
Say... have you guys ever been to Tochigi?
56
00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:52,220
Huh? Where?
57
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,010
Tochigi.
58
00:03:53,230 --> 00:03:53,870
Nope.
59
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:55,730
I wonder how you get there...
60
00:03:56,150 --> 00:03:56,890
No clue.
61
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:58,810
A bullet train or something?
600:03:59,230 --> 00:04:00,200
It's a long way...
63
00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:03,530
Freshmen!
64
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:04,150
Yes?!
65
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:08,430
Onto the final three laps! Fight! Fight!
66
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,320
"I was surprised to hear that you were
the one transferring schools this time."
67
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,340
"We both got used to transferring schools
when we were little.."
68
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:22,120
"But still... Kagoshima.
That's kind of far away, isn't it?"
69
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:28,750
"It's no longer a distance where I can just
jump on a train and see you whenever I want..."
70
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:33,130
"So... I guess... that makes me feel a little lonely."
71
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,010
"Please be well, Takaki-kun."
72
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,920
"Dear Takaki-kun..."
73
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:59,690
"I'm so happy we'll see each other on March 4th."
74
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:02,540
"It'll be just about a year since we last met, won't it?"
75
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000
"For some reason, I feel kind of nervous."
76
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,850
"There's a really large cherry tree close to
my house, so I bet that in the spring..."
77
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:21,580
"...the petals will fall at five centimeters per second."
78
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:28,600
"I'm really hoping the spring will come with you that day, Takaki-kun."
79
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,170
Wanna stop somewhere on the way home?
80
00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:49,750
Well... it's raining out.
81
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:52,040
The forecast said it's supposed to turn to snow by tonight.
82
00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:54,100
Really? I thought it felt cold.
83
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:56,010
And we're already in March...
84
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:59,590
Yeah, it feels like I'm gonna catch a cold.
85
00:05:59,590 --> 00:06:00,800
We can get off at Shimokita.
86
00:06:01,170 --> 00:06:02,010
Yeah.
87
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,110
Tohno, let's get to practice.
88
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:05,880
Right...
89
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:10,690
About that... I don't think I can make it today.
90
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:12,100
Getting ready to move?
91
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:13,060
Something like that.
92
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:13,910
Sorry.
93
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:18,540
"I'm glad you're coming all the way out to the station closest to me..."
94
00:06:18,610 --> 00:06:21,520
"...but it's a long trip, so please be careful."
95
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,160
"I'll be waiting for you in the station's waiting room at 7:00 that night."
96
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:50,810
On the day Akari and I were to meet,
the rain turned to snow in the afternoon.
97
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:55,430
Hey, Takaki-kun.
98
00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,480
It's that cat, Chobi.
99
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,860
He's always lying here.
100
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:01,900
But it looks like he's all by himself today.
101
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:05,610
What happened to your friend Mimi?
It must be lonely all by yourself, huh?
102
00:07:16,910 --> 00:07:17,880
How's that book so far?
103
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:19,170
I really like it.
104
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:21,590
Last night I read four billion years' worth of evolution.
105
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:22,560
Where are you at now?
106
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:24,550
Just about when the Anomalocaris start showing up.
107
00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:25,550
The Cambrian era!
108
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:30,600
I really like the Hallucigenia. They look like this!
109
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:32,170
Yeah, something like that...
110
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:33,810
Which one do you like, Takaki-kun?
111
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,560
The Opabinia, maybe?
112
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,650
The five-eyed one, right?
113
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:41,800
I think Akari and I were a lot alike somehow.
114
00:07:43,450 --> 00:07:46,010
Exactly one year after I transferred to Tokyo...
115
00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:46,450
A new friend just transferred to our school. This is Tohno Takaki-kun.
116
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400
...Akari transferred into my class.
117
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,920
Starting today, Shinohara Akari-san will be joining our class.
118
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:53,700
Because our bodies were still small, frail, and prone to illness...
119
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,580
...the two of us preferred the library over playing on the sportsfield.
120
00:07:56,650 --> 00:07:58,950
Naturally, we became friends...
121
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:03,840
...and because of that, there were times when
our classmates would tease us. But...
122
00:07:59,470 --> 00:08:01,330
I feel kinda bad for her.
123
00:08:01,330 --> 00:08:03,410
Those two are always together.
124
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,930
Ooh! There he is!
125
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,720
As long as we were both together,
strangely, things like that didn't scare us.
126
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Aw, what a nice guy!
127
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:13,290
Wow!
128
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,770
And yet, for some reason, I thought we'd
end up going to the same middle school...
129
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:20,900
...and stay together, just as we were...
130
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:24,190
...from that point on.
131
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,020
Shinjuku, Shinjuku, last stop. For passengers which...
132
00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:38,490
...JR Line, Heiou Line, subway...
133
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:45,130
It was the first time I'd gone to Shinjuku Station alone...
134
00:08:45,130 --> 00:08:49,240
...and all the lines I would soon be riding would also be firsts for me.
135
00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:57,930
My heart was pounding.
136
00:09:01,150 --> 00:09:04,390
I was going to see Akari again.
137
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,700
How did it go with that guy?
138
00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:13,490
Who?
139
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:15,160
You know, that Nisshou boy.
140
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,790
Are you kidding? His tastes were a little gross...
141
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:20,110
We will be arriving at Musashi-Urawa shortly. Again, this is Musashi-Urawa.
142
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:23,020
At our next stop, Musashi-Urawa, in order to connect with the express train...
143
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:27,330
In order to connect with the express train, this train will be stopping for 4 minutes.
144
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:31,270
Those passengers who wish to quickly reach Yonohonmachi and Oomiya please board...
145
00:09:53,530 --> 00:09:56,320
Um... this is Shinohara.
146
00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:59,570
Umm, is Takaki-kun there?
147
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:01,540
It's Akari-chan.
148
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:05,080
Huh? You're transferring schools?
149
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:10,120
What about Nishi Middle School?
You went through all that trouble to get accepted.
150
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:14,620
They said they'd handle the paperwork of transferring
me to the public school in Tochigi...
151
00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:15,450
l'm sorry...
152
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:19,510
No... there's no reason to apologize.
153
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,140
I told them I still wanted to go from my aunt's house in Katsushika, but...
154
00:10:23,410 --> 00:10:27,030
...they said I couldn't until I was older.
155
00:10:28,570 --> 00:10:30,660
I understand... you don't have to say anything else.
156
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:32,440
That's enough.
157
00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:36,990
I'm sorry...
158
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:41,700
Through the receiver painfully pressed against my ear...
159
00:10:42,090 --> 00:10:45,410
...Akari's own pain was palpable.
160
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,340
But... there was nothing I could do.
161
00:10:55,010 --> 00:10:56,220
That was pretty good, huh?
162
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:57,210
Yeah. See you later!
163
00:10:57,210 --> 00:11:01,510
The terminal I transferred at was crowded with people heading home...
164
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:05,010
...and everyone's shoes were soaked from the snow.
165
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:10,180
The frigid air was saturated with the classic smell of a snowy city day.
166
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:12,340
All passengers, your attention please.
167
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:16,160
Due to the snowy weather conditions, the Utsunomiya Line
outbound trains traveling to Oomiya and Utsunomiya...
168
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,350
...will be experiencing an 8 minute delay in arrival.
169
00:11:19,390 --> 00:11:25,750
We apologize for any inconvenience in your busy day.
170
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:28,410
Until that moment, I hadn't even considered
the possibility of one of my trains being late.
171
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:31,960
My creeping anxiety suddenly became much greater.
172
00:11:36,270 --> 00:11:41,040
This train is currently running 10 minutes late due to the snowy weather conditions.
173
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:44,550
We apologize for any inconvenience in your busy day.
174
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,220
After we had passed a little beyond Oomiya Station...
175
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:53,890
...almost all the passing buildings suddenly vanished from view.
176
00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:08,580
Next stop is Kuki. Kuki.
177
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,540
We apologize for our terribly late arrival.
178
00:12:14,570 --> 00:12:18,390
Those passengers transferring to the Tobu Isesaki Line,
please make your way around to Exit #5.
179
00:12:20,830 --> 00:12:25,910
Due to the next train's delay, this train will be stopping
at this station for the next 10 minutes.
180
00:12:26,670 --> 00:12:32,200
We apologize for any inconvenience in your busy day,
and appreciate your understanding.
181
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:35,480
Sorry about that.
182
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:40,650
Due to the next train's delay, this train will be stopping
at this station for the next 10 minutes.
183
00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:44,840
We apologize for any inconvenience in your busy day, and...
184
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,560
This is Nogi. Nogi.
185
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:12,220
To all passengers, we express our deepest apologies.
186
00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:16,610
Due to the continuing delay of the following train, this train will
be stopping at this station for an extended period of time.
187
00:13:16,610 --> 00:13:22,130
We apologize for any inconvenience in your busy day,
and appreciate your understanding.
188
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,040
The stations seemed unbelievably far apart...
189
00:13:22,390 --> 00:13:27,320
...and the train would stop for an unbelievably
long amount of time at each station.
190
00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:31,870
Kurihashi > Koga > Nogi > Mamada > Oyama
191
00:13:31,870 --> 00:13:37,040
Omoigawa > Tochigi > Ohirashita > Iwafune > Sano
192
00:13:48,210 --> 00:13:52,580
The wilderness on the other side of the
window seemed like nothing I'd ever experienced before.
193
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,810
The slowly ticking time...
194
00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:56,720
...and my pangs of hunger...
195
00:13:57,070 --> 00:13:59,770
...continued to dampen my spirits.
196
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,130
The time we had planned to meet had passed...
197
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,250
...so I had the feeling that Akari was beginning to worry.
198
00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:14,240
On that day...
199
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,510
...the day she called...
200
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:24,330
...Akari must've been so much more jittery and upset than me,
yet I couldn't find the words to console her.
201
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:26,460
I felt so ashamed of myself.
202
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:37,670
As we look back, we thank our teachers for all they've done.
203
00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:37,880
Then I guess after today... this is goodbye.
204
00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:40,440
Any summer vacation plans?
205
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:44,380
I received the first letter from Akari half a year later...
206
00:14:44,780 --> 00:14:47,060
...during the summer of my first year of middle school.
207
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:51,290
I remember every last word of it.
208
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:53,940
Over the two weeks before the day we were to meet...
209
00:14:54,690 --> 00:14:57,790
...I spent my time writing a letter I would give her.
210
00:14:58,130 --> 00:15:00,470
It was filled with all the things I had to tell her.
211
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:01,770
All the things I wanted her to hear.
212
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,950
There were so many.
213
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:06,860
We apologize terribly for the wait.
214
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,540
This train will shortly begin its departure towards Utsunomiya.
215
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:24,340
This is Oyama. Oyama.
216
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,300
For those passengers changing over to the
Tohoku Bullet Train, please transfer here.
217
00:15:28,570 --> 00:15:32,890
Those passengers transferring to the down-train,
the Tohoku Bullet Train towards Morioka, please transfer to Line 1.
218
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:37,500
Those passengers transferring to the up-train
towards Tokyo, please transfer to Line 5.
219
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:40,570
Those passengers transferring to the Mito Line-
220
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:40,570
All passengers, your attention please.
221
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,340
Due to snowy weather conditions, the
Ryomo Line is currently experiencing a serious delay.
222
00:15:46,850 --> 00:15:50,110
We apologize for the terrible inconvenience.
223
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,490
We ask that you please be patient and wait a little longer until the train arrives.
224
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,750
The next up-train headed for--
225
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:57,070
Either way...
226
00:15:57,750 --> 00:16:01,340
...I had no choice but to keep going towards
the station where Akari was waiting.
227
00:16:55,460 --> 00:17:00,600
This is the up-train, Line 8, towards Takasaki,
passing Ashikaga and Maebashi on the way.
228
00:17:00,710 --> 00:17:02,800
Please stand behind the white line--
229
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:36,730
All passengers, your attention please.
230
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,740
Due to the disrupted schedule from the heavy snowfall
this train will be making a temporary stop.
231
00:17:41,910 --> 00:17:44,200
We apologize terribly for this inconvenience in your busy day...
232
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:46,780
...but presently, we are unable to resume normal service.
233
00:17:47,630 --> 00:17:48,790
I repeat...
234
00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:03,960
"Dear Takaki-kun..."
235
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,530
"How are you?"
236
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,740
"I'm actually writing this letter on the train because
practice has been starting really early lately."
237
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:13,180
Every time I tried to picture Akari from her letters...
238
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:16,280
...she was always alone for some reason.
239
00:18:19,770 --> 00:18:26,310
In the end, the train remained stopped
in the barren wilderness for two hours.
240
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:30,140
Each minute felt like an eternity.
241
00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:32,780
With clear malice towards me...
242
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:36,300
...time continued to drift slowly forwards around me.
243
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:39,500
I clenched my teeth tightly together...
244
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:44,320
...and could do nothing but endure the pain and hold back my tears.
245
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,310
Akari....
246
00:18:48,620 --> 00:18:49,500
Please tell me...
247
00:18:49,870 --> 00:18:51,670
...you've already...
248
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800
...returned home.
249
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:16,070
Line 3 towards Takasaki, passing Ashikaga
and Maebashi on the way has just arrived.
250
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:21,590
Due to the snowy weather conditions, this train
will be making a temporary stop.
251
00:19:58,580 --> 00:19:59,880
Akari....
252
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:31,020
It tastes good.
253
00:20:31,740 --> 00:20:32,450
Really?
254
00:20:32,610 --> 00:20:34,270
It's just hot roasted tea.
255
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:35,520
Roasted tea?
256
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:37,180
This is my first time having it...
257
00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:39,660
You're kidding. I'm sure you've had it before.
258
00:20:39,790 --> 00:20:40,630
You think?
259
00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:41,730
You must have.
260
00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:48,160
And... since I made this, I can't really guarantee how good it'll taste, but...
261
00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:50,290
If you'd like, please have some.
262
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:51,840
Thanks!
263
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:54,880
I was really hungry.
264
00:20:58,790 --> 00:20:59,640
How is it?
265
00:21:04,050 --> 00:21:07,090
It's the most delicious rice ball I've ever had.
266
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,660
You're exaggerating!
267
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:09,430
It really is!
268
00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:11,550
It's probably just because you're hungry.
269
00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:12,480
You think so?
270
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,550
It must be.
271
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:15,440
I think I'll have a bite, too.
272
00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:22,640
So... you're moving soon, right?
273
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:24,320
Yeah. Next week.
274
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:25,850
Kagoshima, huh?
275
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,890
It's pretty far away.
276
00:21:26,890 --> 00:21:27,550
Yeah...
277
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,010
Though this trip to Tochigi was pretty far, too.
278
00:21:31,050 --> 00:21:32,780
You can't even go home today now, after all.
279
00:21:36,190 --> 00:21:39,310
We'll be closing soon. There aren't any more trains coming or going.
280
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,380
Yes, sir.
281
00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:42,640
Be careful on your way home in this snow.
282
00:21:42,650 --> 00:21:43,440
Yes, sir.
283
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,340
Can you see the tree way out there?
284
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Is that the tree from your letters?
285
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,160
Yeah. It's a cherry tree.
286
00:22:20,470 --> 00:22:21,360
So...
287
00:22:22,490 --> 00:22:25,060
...don't you think it looks a little like snow?
288
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,910
It sure does.
289
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:45,860
In that moment...
290
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,140
...I felt like I knew where eternity, our hearts and ours souls all lay.
291
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:56,980
I felt as though we had shared
all the experiences of my 13 years.
292
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,790
And then... in the next moment...
293
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:02,960
...I was suddenly filled with an insufferable sadness.
294
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,230
Akari's warmth... and her soul...
295
00:23:08,750 --> 00:23:12,590
How could I take them in, and where could I bring them?
296
00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:15,260
I felt that sad because I didn't have those answers.
297
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:23,600
I clearly knew that from that point on, we wouldn't be together forever.
298
00:23:24,530 --> 00:23:27,420
The overwhelming weight of our lives to come...
299
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:32,310
...and the uncertainty of time hung over us.
300
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,630
But... the creeping anxiety that had taken hold of me...
301
00:23:39,010 --> 00:23:41,540
...would soon gradually melt away.
302
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:46,460
And all that remained would be the feeling of Akari's soft lips.
303
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,680
We spent that night in a shack by the side of a field.
304
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,280
Wrapping ourselves in an old blanket, we talked on and on...
305
00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:17,990
...until finally, we had fallen asleep, side by side.
306
00:24:19,020 --> 00:24:22,300
The next morning, as I boarded the train that had started its run again...
307
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:24,580
...I parted with Akari..
308
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:30,160
Umm... Takaki-kun...
309
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:30,950
Yeah?
310
00:24:32,430 --> 00:24:33,980
Takaki-kun...
311
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:37,780
...I'm sure you'll be okay from now on.
312
00:24:37,820 --> 00:24:38,520
I just know it!
313
00:24:38,980 --> 00:24:39,980
Thank you.
314
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:42,820
Akari, you be well, too!
315
00:24:43,570 --> 00:24:44,550
I'll write you!
316
00:24:44,570 --> 00:24:45,330
I'll call, too!
317
00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:03,660
I never told Akari that I'd lost the letter I wanted to give her.
318
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:12,990
Because I felt that my world had completely changed after that kiss.
319
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,370
All I wanted was the strength to protect her.
320
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:33,350
With that thought in my mind, I continued to gaze out
over the landscape beyond the window... forever.
321
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:04,070
Kanae, are you going to go after school, too?
322
00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:05,600
Yeah, are you okay with that, Onee-chan?
323
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:08,310
Fine by me. But be sure to get to your studies, too.
324
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,450
Yeah.
325
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,510
Okay!
326
00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:56,200
Morning.
327
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:58,240
Good morning, Tohno-kun.
328
00:27:58,590 --> 00:27:59,890
You're really early this morning, huh?
329
00:27:59,930 --> 00:28:02,300
You too, Sumida. You went to the beach again, right?
330
00:28:02,340 --> 00:28:02,950
Yeah.
331
00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:05,200
You're practicing hard.
332
00:28:06,290 --> 00:28:08,990
I wouldn't say that...
333
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,670
See you later, Tohno-kun.
334
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:11,380
Later.
335
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,640
Got it? It's time to begin making your choices.
336
00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:18,780
Be sure to turn it in by Monday, okay?
337
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:21,960
And remember to talk it over with your parents before.
338
00:28:23,140 --> 00:28:26,300
Looks like Sasaki-san's gonna be going to a college in Tokyo.
339
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,020
No surprise there. I was thinking of maybe
going to a 2-year college in Kumamoto.
340
00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:31,360
What about you, Kanae?
341
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,490
Huh? Umm...
342
00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:35,070
Will you get a job?
343
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:36,190
Umm...
344
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,030
You really haven't thought about it at all, huh?
345
00:28:39,030 --> 00:28:40,700
The only thing on your mind is Tohno-kun, right?
346
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:43,080
He definitely left his girlfriend in Tokyo, I'm telling you.
347
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,370
No way!
348
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:13,630
Still not going well for you?
349
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,930
Yeah... what's gotten into me?
350
00:29:16,810 --> 00:29:20,780
It's better if you don't think about it too much.
You'll be able to surf again in no time, I promise.
351
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:23,030
It must be nice taking things so easy, Onee-chan.
352
00:29:23,030 --> 00:29:24,830
What are you in such a rush for?
353
00:29:26,750 --> 00:29:30,590
At this rate, I won't be able to say it before graduation...
354
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:50,850
Thanks, Onee-chan.
355
00:29:50,850 --> 00:29:51,960
I can take you home, too...
356
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,190
Don't worry about it. I'll take my bike home.
357
00:30:21,850 --> 00:30:23,570
Sumida, you're on your way home?
358
00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:24,410
Yeah.
359
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:25,840
You too, Tohno-kun?
360
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,640
Yeah.
361
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:28,470
Wanna go home together?
362
00:30:29,490 --> 00:30:32,190
If I had a tail like a dog's...
363
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,170
...I'm sure it'd be wagging back and forth right now,
since I'd be unable to hide my happiness.
364
00:30:37,390 --> 00:30:42,470
I was sort of relieved and thought to myself,
"Thank goodness I'm not really a dog..."
365
00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:46,350
...and I was surprised at how foolish I was for thinking what I did earlier.
366
00:30:46,350 --> 00:30:50,530
But even still, the trip home with Tohno-kun was bliss.
367
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Right from the start, Tohno-kun seemed
a little different from the other boys.
368
00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:01,840
I'm Tohno Takaki.
369
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,900
I'm sorta used to transferring schools because of my parents' jobs...
370
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:06,630
...but I'm not too used to this island yet.
371
00:31:06,770 --> 00:31:08,260
It's nice to meet you all.
372
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:12,850
I fell in love at first sight on that day in the second year of middle
school, and wanted to go to the same high school as him...
373
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,390
...so I studied really hard, was somehow accepted...
374
00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:21,860
...and every single time I saw him, fell more and more in love with him.
375
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,030
But it's so scary, and everyday is painful.
376
00:31:25,030 --> 00:31:27,340
Yet every time I see him, I'm filled with such happiness...
377
00:31:27,380 --> 00:31:30,240
...that I'm at a loss for what to do.
378
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:34,240
Tohno-kun, there you go buying the same one again.
379
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:35,800
It's really good.
380
00:31:36,270 --> 00:31:39,620
Sumida, you always think your decisions
through seriously, don't you?
381
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:40,500
Yeah.
382
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:44,050
I'll be outside.
383
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:45,430
Yeah.
384
00:31:46,140 --> 00:31:47,190
Just this, please.
385
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:48,920
That'll be 90 yen.
386
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:49,930
Here you go.
387
00:31:49,930 --> 00:31:51,270
Thanks as always.
388
00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:03,010
Welcome back.
389
00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:04,270
What'd you buy?
390
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:07,870
Well, it was hard to pick, but I went with this.
391
00:32:05,670 --> 00:32:09,210
Sometimes, Tohno-kun would be writing a text message...
392
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,890
...and every time he did, I would always wish...
393
00:32:10,890 --> 00:32:13,760
...that the text message he was writing...
394
00:32:14,730 --> 00:32:18,240
...would be addressed to me.
395
00:32:28,010 --> 00:32:29,340
Kabu, I'm home!
396
00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:30,710
Kabu, Kabu!
397
00:32:30,970 --> 00:32:32,400
I'm back.
398
00:32:52,830 --> 00:32:55,150
This is a message from your town hall.
399
00:32:55,150 --> 00:32:58,270
The next normal open gasoline stand will be at the
Sakai Agricultural Cooperative Gas Station.
400
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:01,080
Sumida Kanae-san from Class 3-1...
401
00:33:01,290 --> 00:33:02,860
...Itou-sensei is calling for you.
402
00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:04,680
Please report to the Guidance Counselor's office.
403
00:33:04,130 --> 00:33:05,750
That's your girlfriend, Tohno.
404
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,460
She's not my girlfriend.
405
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:13,730
You're the only one in the grade who hasn't filled one out.
406
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,090
I'm sorry.
407
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,130
Look, this isn't something someone in my position should be saying...
408
00:33:18,140 --> 00:33:20,600
...but this isn't really something you have to wrack your brain over.
409
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,770
Has Sumida-sensei said anything?
410
00:33:22,820 --> 00:33:23,930
No...
411
00:33:26,770 --> 00:33:30,560
If you really can't decide, then how about
a 2-year college within the prefecture?
412
00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:31,460
But...
413
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:35,940
Onee-chan has nothing to do with it...
414
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:54,710
After all...
415
00:33:56,550 --> 00:33:59,370
...surfing, even after I pestered my sister so much to teach me...
416
00:33:59,690 --> 00:34:02,680
...and the most important guy who takes up all of my thoughts...
417
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,930
...are two things I'm still no good at.
418
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:32,830
Thanks as always.
419
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,770
Not at all. See you next time.
420
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,470
Whenever I go to where Tohno-kun is...
421
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,300
...deep down, my heart... it clenches up... just a little.
422
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:12,040
Tohno-kun.
423
00:35:12,250 --> 00:35:15,080
Sumida, what's up? I'm surprised you found me way out here.
424
00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:19,290
I saw your bike, so I decided to come on by.
425
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:20,090
That okay?
426
00:35:20,090 --> 00:35:22,550
Ah, I see. I'm glad to see you.
427
00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:25,470
We didn't run into each other at the bike shed today.
428
00:35:25,730 --> 00:35:26,870
I'm glad, too.
429
00:35:27,050 --> 00:35:28,430
He's really kind.
430
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,120
So kind that sometimes it feels like I'm going to cry.
431
00:35:35,390 --> 00:35:37,480
Hey, are you going to test to get into college?
432
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,400
Yeah. I'm going to take a few for some universities in Tokyo.
433
00:35:40,580 --> 00:35:43,190
Tokyo... I see.
434
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:45,610
I thought that might be the case.
435
00:35:45,830 --> 00:35:46,890
Why do you say that?
436
00:35:46,990 --> 00:35:49,990
You seem like you want to go far away from here, for some reason...
437
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,780
What about you, Sumida?
438
00:35:53,170 --> 00:35:56,580
I don't even really know what's going to happen tomorrow.
439
00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:58,550
Everyone's the same.
440
00:35:58,580 --> 00:36:00,380
No way! You too, Tohno-kun?
441
00:36:00,550 --> 00:36:01,460
Of course.
442
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:05,190
You don't look like you have anything to worry about.
443
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:08,470
Oh, stop that. I'm filled with nothing but worries.
444
00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:12,100
I'm doing all that I can just to keep up. I have no breathing room.
445
00:36:12,780 --> 00:36:13,790
Really?
446
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,190
I see...
447
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,770
A plane?
448
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:25,770
Yeah.
449
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,330
Wow...
450
00:37:18,820 --> 00:37:20,500
They say it travels at five kilometers per hour.
451
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,460
It's going to the Minamitane launch facility.
452
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:28,800
Looks like there'll be a launch this year. First time in a while.
453
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,390
Yeah. It's supposed to go to the far reaches of the solar system.
454
00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:34,050
No matter how many years it takes...
455
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,240
Hey... you should really talk to Kanae about her plans for the future.
456
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,100
You know how absent-minded she can be.
457
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:02,460
She'll be fine. It's not like she's a child anymore.
458
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,470
I remember when I used to be just like that, a long time ago...
459
00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:14,510
Hear that, Kabu? Tohno-kun apparently doesn't
know what tomorrow will bring, either.
460
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,970
We're both the same. Tohno-kun and me.
461
00:38:18,110 --> 00:38:20,250
It must really be...
462
00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:24,410
...a lonelier journey than anyone could imagine.
463
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,850
To just press forward through the true pitch darkness...
464
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,980
Barely encountering even a single hydrogen atom...
465
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:35,810
Wholeheartedly believing you'll come closer to discovering...
466
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,040
...the secrets of the universe within the unfathomable abyss of space.
467
00:38:44,110 --> 00:38:47,570
I wonder how far we should go...
468
00:38:48,340 --> 00:38:50,670
How far CAN we go?
469
00:39:10,050 --> 00:39:14,500
I wonder when I got in the habit of
writing messages to nobody?
470
00:39:51,830 --> 00:39:54,270
Kanae, have you decided what you'll be doing in the future?
471
00:39:54,270 --> 00:39:56,980
Nope. Like I thought, I'm still not sure...
472
00:39:56,980 --> 00:40:01,610
But it's all right! I decided that I'll just take things on one at a time.
473
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,680
Off I go!
474
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,210
Since that day, a number of typhoons have passed through...
475
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:28,130
...and the island's become a little cooler each time.
476
00:40:30,110 --> 00:40:33,570
The wind blowing through the sugarcane has taken on a slight chill...
477
00:40:33,570 --> 00:40:35,860
...and the sky seems a little higher.
478
00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:38,410
The edges of the clouds have become gentler...
479
00:40:38,410 --> 00:40:43,250
...and my classmates have begun wearing light jackets
when riding their bikes with the change in the weather.
480
00:40:58,340 --> 00:41:01,810
By the time I managed to ride the waves again,
six long months had passed.
481
00:41:01,810 --> 00:41:07,230
Even though it was the middle of October, it felt
like a little bit of summer had been left behind.
482
00:41:17,330 --> 00:41:22,490
The weather forecast for tonight shows a clear evening
with winds up to eight meters per second.
483
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:25,190
So I heard that Yamada confessed to Sasaki-san.
484
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,770
No surprise there.
485
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:29,610
Huh? Kanae, you seem awfully happy today.
486
00:41:29,610 --> 00:41:31,650
Something good happen between you and Tohno-kun?
487
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:33,920
No way!
488
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:39,580
Today, I'm finally going to confess to Tohno-kun, too.
489
00:41:44,830 --> 00:41:47,140
If I don't tell him today, on the day I finally rode the waves again...
490
00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:50,020
...I'm sure l won't ever be able to.
491
00:42:00,650 --> 00:42:01,730
Sumida.
492
00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:02,470
To--
493
00:42:03,820 --> 00:42:05,000
Tohno-kun.
494
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:06,230
On your way home?
495
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:06,950
Yeah.
496
00:42:07,540 --> 00:42:08,310
I see.
497
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,410
Then, let's go home together.
498
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:35,750
Huh, Sumida? Decided already today?
499
00:42:35,780 --> 00:42:36,480
Yeah.
500
00:42:47,890 --> 00:42:48,620
What's the matter?
501
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,440
...to me...
502
00:43:00,170 --> 00:43:03,300
No... I'm sorry. It's nothing.
503
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,920
Is your bike acting up?
504
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,870
Yeah... that's kind of weird.
505
00:43:16,330 --> 00:43:17,200
Is it broken?
506
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:20,340
Yeah... I think the spark plug's dead.
507
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,900
Was this a hand-me-down?
508
00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:23,290
Yeah. It was Onee-chan's.
509
00:43:23,290 --> 00:43:25,080
Did it stall when you tried accelerating?
510
00:43:25,110 --> 00:43:26,560
It might have, actually...
511
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,310
Let's leave it here for today.
512
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:31,990
You can have someone from your house pick it up later.
513
00:43:32,170 --> 00:43:33,380
Let's walk back today.
514
00:43:33,450 --> 00:43:35,810
Huh? I'll walk by myself!
515
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:37,570
You go on ahead.
516
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,800
We're this far out, and your place is nearby, so...
517
00:43:39,970 --> 00:43:42,450
And... I kind of want to walk today.
518
00:44:18,140 --> 00:44:20,860
Tohno-kun, please...
519
00:44:31,940 --> 00:44:32,830
What's wrong?
520
00:44:32,830 --> 00:44:33,960
I'm sorry...
521
00:44:34,820 --> 00:44:36,030
It's nothing.
522
00:44:36,410 --> 00:44:37,170
I'm so sorry...
523
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:40,710
Sumida...
524
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:45,320
I'm begging you... please...
525
00:44:45,710 --> 00:44:49,220
...don't be so nice to me!
526
00:46:23,890 --> 00:46:27,980
As we humans desperately and recklessly
stretched our arms to the top of the sky...
527
00:46:28,070 --> 00:46:30,920
...and launched something of that mass and size into the air...
528
00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:34,740
...gazing off into the distance towards something
far beyond our wildest dreams...
529
00:46:39,710 --> 00:46:45,710
...I felt like I somewhat came to understand why
Tohno-kun was different from the other boys.
530
00:46:45,870 --> 00:46:47,630
And at the same time...
531
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:53,800
...I clearly realized that Tohno-kun wasn't really looking at me.
532
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:02,520
Which is why, on that day, I couldn't say a word to Tohno-kun.
533
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,700
Tohno-kun is really kind, but...
534
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:20,830
He's so truly kind, but...
535
00:47:22,270 --> 00:47:26,900
But Tohno-kun was always looking far beyond me.
536
00:47:26,930 --> 00:47:30,450
Far beyond me, towards something in the distance.
537
00:47:40,430 --> 00:47:44,260
I'm sure I wouldn't be able to give Tohno-kun what he truly desires.
538
00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:48,140
But still... despite that...
539
00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:51,800
Tomorrow, the day after, and even beyond that...
540
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,590
...I know I'll still be helplessly in love with him.
541
00:47:57,270 --> 00:48:03,120
While thinking solely of Tohno-kun, I cried myself to sleep.
542
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,700
I strongly felt...
543
00:49:31,790 --> 00:49:33,680
...that if I looked back now...
544
00:49:34,030 --> 00:49:35,820
...she would look back as well.
545
00:49:49,350 --> 00:49:53,640
The last Chuo line train bound for Tokyo is now arriving.
546
00:51:09,630 --> 00:51:11,730
You should stay till New Year's.
547
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,720
I know, but I have a million things to take care of.
548
00:51:14,910 --> 00:51:16,220
I guess so.
549
00:51:16,390 --> 00:51:18,350
Be sure to cook him good meals, you hear?
550
00:51:18,610 --> 00:51:19,160
I will.
551
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,180
If there's ever a problem, don't hesitate to call us, Akari.
552
00:51:22,410 --> 00:51:23,560
I'll be fine.
553
00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:27,100
We'll see each other at the wedding next month, so don't worry so much.
554
00:51:27,090 --> 00:51:30,250
The train for platform 2 is now arriving.
555
00:51:27,860 --> 00:51:29,900
You'd better head home. It's cold.
556
00:51:50,290 --> 00:51:53,460
Last night, I dreamt of something from the distant past.
557
00:51:54,730 --> 00:51:58,190
Back when he and I were both still children.
558
00:51:58,670 --> 00:52:01,890
I'm sure it's because of that letter I found yesterday.
559
00:52:55,630 --> 00:52:56,380
Mizuno-san.
560
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:57,530
Ah, yes, sir?
561
00:52:57,530 --> 00:52:58,530
Have time for that meeting?
562
00:52:58,640 --> 00:52:59,610
Yes, sir.
563
00:53:08,250 --> 00:53:13,410
Through the act of living itself, sadness piles up here and there.
564
00:53:14,500 --> 00:53:16,580
Whether in the sheets hung to dry in the sun...
565
00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:18,290
...the single toothbrush in your bathroom...
566
00:53:18,290 --> 00:53:20,820
...or the history logs of your cell phone.
567
00:53:42,980 --> 00:53:46,110
"Even now, I still love you..."
568
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,690
That's what the girl I'd been with for three years
said in that e-mail.
569
00:53:51,170 --> 00:53:55,870
"But I'm sure that even if we had written
1,000 text messages back and forth..."
570
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:00,210
"...our hearts probably wouldn't have moved even 1 centimeter closer."
571
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:14,760
Over these past few years, I've only wanted to move
forward and touch that which I couldn't reach...
572
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,060
...though I've never been able to tangibly define what it was.
573
00:54:17,170 --> 00:54:24,610
Not knowing where those obsessive thoughts
came from, I simply continued to work.
574
00:54:24,610 --> 00:54:29,290
Then one day I realized that my heart was withering,
and in it there was nothing but pain.
575
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,870
And then, one morning...
576
00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:38,870
...when I realized that I had completely lost my
earnest and acute feelings from long ago...
577
00:54:39,270 --> 00:54:41,590
...I knew I was at my limit...
578
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,420
...and quit my job.
579
00:55:09,260 --> 00:55:11,660
Yesterday, I had a dream.
580
00:55:11,820 --> 00:55:14,000
A dream of long ago.
581
00:55:14,370 --> 00:55:18,370
Within the dream, the two of us were still thirteen...
582
00:55:18,370 --> 00:55:22,750
...standing upon the vast field blanketed
in snow as far as the eye could see.
583
00:55:22,750 --> 00:55:26,960
In the distance, the lights shimmering in
houses were set sparsely, far and wide.
584
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:32,130
All that was left upon the newly fallen snow were our footprints.
585
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:33,560
Just like that...
586
00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:37,420
...we wished, without hesitation, that one day...
587
00:55:37,430 --> 00:55:39,220
...the two of us would be able...
588
00:55:39,220 --> 00:55:42,540
...to see the cherry blossoms together again.
589
00:55:43,130 --> 00:55:50,180
I'm always searching for you, always searching for your figure.
590
00:55:50,410 --> 00:55:53,830
On the opposite platform, or through window in the back alley.
591
00:55:54,090 --> 00:55:57,530
Even though I know you can't be there.
592
00:55:57,860 --> 00:56:04,840
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side.
593
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,480
There would be nothing I couldn't do.
594
00:56:08,670 --> 00:56:14,860
I would risk everything to embrace you.
595
00:56:23,810 --> 00:56:30,930
If only to avoid loneliness, anyone will do.
596
00:56:31,420 --> 00:56:38,320
On this night when it seem stars will fall
from the sky, I cannot lie to myself.
597
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:45,720
One more time, don't fade away, seasons.
598
00:56:46,090 --> 00:56:52,990
One more time, I want that time when we fooled around together.
599
00:56:53,480 --> 00:57:00,520
I'm always searching for you, always searching for your figure.
600
00:57:00,810 --> 00:57:04,260
At the intersection, in my dreams.
601
00:57:04,430 --> 00:57:07,980
Even though I know you can't be there.
602
00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:15,210
If miracles do happen, I want to show you right now
603
00:57:15,370 --> 00:57:18,870
the new dawn, who I'll be from now on,
604
00:57:18,980 --> 00:57:24,960
and the words "I love you" that I never said.
605
00:57:34,190 --> 00:57:38,480
The memories of summer revolve around me
606
00:57:42,140 --> 00:57:47,940
and your throbbing heartbeat that suddenly stopped.
607
00:57:49,150 --> 00:57:56,600
I'm always searching for you, always searching for your figure.
608
00:57:56,710 --> 00:58:00,370
In the city at dawn, in Sakuragi-cho.
609
00:58:00,530 --> 00:58:03,970
Even though I know you can't be there.
610
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:11,350
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side.
611
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,020
There would be nothing I couldn't do.
612
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,610
I would risk everything to embrace you.
613
00:58:19,030 --> 00:58:25,900
I'm always searching for you, always
searching for even a fragment of you.
614
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:29,520
At the shop I'm going to, in the corner of a newspaper.
615
00:58:29,750 --> 00:58:33,120
Even though I know you can't be there.
616
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:40,410
If miracles do happen, I want to show you right now
617
00:58:40,610 --> 00:58:44,050
the new dawn, who I'll be from now on,
618
00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:47,750
and the words "I love you" that I never said.
619
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:55,160
I always end up looking somewhere for your smile.
620
00:58:55,370 --> 00:58:58,830
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass.
621
00:58:59,050 --> 00:59:02,380
Even though I know you can't be there.
622
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:09,860
If I could live life over again, I would be at your side every time.
623
00:59:10,090 --> 00:59:13,670
Because I would want nothing
624
00:59:13,930 --> 00:59:20,500
more precious than you.
625
01:02:37,770 --> 01:02:43,730
The End
