Foul!
Foul! Foul! Free pass!
Ouch... Ouch.. it hurts.
Ah, Nagomi!
What are you doing! - Sorry.
Please take a good care, if it's like this we could lose because of foul.
Yea even though have been told but still like that.
It couldn't be helped, since he is Tsukasa's son.
He never listened to anyone else.
If you do not behave, I'll tell your mother in heaven!
Ah.. I'm sorry.
Got it?
Ah.... Shut up!
Ah... Nagomi! - ah here he is!
Let's drink uncle.
You have drunk a lot.
The beer is just like the plain water.
Yea right, Nagomi.
Ah what you said, Nago-chan, here!
Nago-chan, here!
Masami, hey! Why did you take him!
Look, he took him.
Nagomi.
Nagomi!
Drink? - Yes.
Actually, I used to like Tsukasa a little bit.
I knew that.
Toshio too right?
No... Tsukasa is really a very strong person.
I always get scolded by her.
If... Tsukasa is alive again,
This time I won't lose.
That is immpossible.
Maybe. This time I'll defeat her certainly.
Okay so, let's drink.
Ok, thank you.
Nagomi, no.That is offering for your mom.
Come on, give it back.
Why mom died?
It has been discussed many times, isn't it?
Can't she come back to life again?
That is difficult to happen.
Nagomi,
If you wanna know your mom, let's learn it.
Read this.
What is it?
I've red this before to you, still remember?
Yea.
Want us to read it again?
Yes.
Ok.
Listen carefully till the end, okay?
"2nd October,sunny day. Boccia training." [Boccia is a game like lawn balls for disbale person]
"...That Toshio..."
"...If he didn't have the desire he'd better stop it..."
February 10, 2008
I'm going to change clothes immediately.
You didn't have to!
It's useless even if you change it now.
I've reserved it first.
We are going to use this place.
You can't, we also have reserved it on the internet.
We called the people here and already talked about it.
And reserved this place.
Isn't it, Toshio?
Yes!
So how is it?
We give the priority to these people.
Yea just give it anyway.
What is that mean?
This is not our fault but the way you said it with the underestimate tone,
I can't accept it.
Huh?
I didn't mean it like that. But if it's bothered you, sorry.
You! You think that we are disturbing and want to quickly get off of here,right?
If so, what should I do?
Anyway, can we go now?
If so, can we just divide the place into two?
Even if it would be smaller than usual.
Concentrate, Toshio!
Next, you have to throw it properly.
Not the same like during the training, this tension is the same like the last throw during the actual competition.
That is the trick to win it.
Do you have someone to pick you up? (Tsukasa thought he asked, "Do you have leg?")
I still got my leg.
That is not what I mean. How do you get home?
I got something to buy first, then call the taxi and go home.
Oh.. if so, you want a ride?
You want me to get angry?
No, you don't have to pay. And anyway, my working hour for today has finished.
Ah.. Sorry
Pull the white one. - This one?
Ok,
I'm going to lift you up.
Ok, ready, go.
I'm going to put you down. - Ok.
Ah... Sorry.
Have we met before?
Nope, why?
You seem very nice to me.
Ah, not really.
I'm going to close it. - Ok.
Can you fold it?
Ah yes. I try.
Where is your house?
Kitami direction.
Eh, Kitami? Not the city direction?
Haven't I told you I got something to buy.
Oh!
The muffler fits you well.
This is a cheap stuff.
Oh, I see.
But...
Thank you.
Ah No.
Can you look forward while driving?
I don't want to get an accident again.
Ok.
I forgot.
Yes?
I forgot what I want to buy.
Eh?
Here. - Thank you.
So, you forgot to put the memo that should not make you forget?
Well...so.
My memory, sometimes it just dissappeared like that.
Lately, it has started to improve but sometimes it happens.
But, never mind.
Is that so? - Yea.
Woah, this is delicious.
Right? This is delicious, isn't it.
Really delicious, how to say it, the sweet taste is so soft?
Yea. This is very soft.
But you are great huh, you can remember and say it like that.
Eh? No, is that so?
Hm.
But this is really good.
There's also a store like this.
Hm.
It seems so close to my house.
Where is it?
At the corner near the bank there is a minimart,right?
My house is in the building behind it.
The building that is in the same line with it?
Yes, the second floor from front.
Ah..the key...
Oh put it there..
Ok, and this one?
Hey, have a tea first.
Eh? But...
Hurry up! It's cold.
Ok then, ojamashimasu.(a greeting used when entering someone's house)
Please seat over there.
Ok.
Can you help me turn on the heater?
Yes.
Done? - ah, yes. It's on.
I take it.
Itadakimas.
Hot,isn't? - Yep.
Seems that you live alone.
But I got helper to help.
But now she's gone home.
Eh... but..
I can handle it if it's just like this.
Really?
Hey, Boccia, is that the game earlier ,right?
If you want, I can carry you to the bed.
It's fine. Good bye.
Why did she never knew my kindness.
What is it?
You've been dumped again?
I'm thinking to be a taxi drivier in Hawaii.
Eh really?
It's too cold in Hokkaido, the women's heart are cold too.
In a warm place, the women's heart must be warm too.
By only listening to it, you will be able to speak English.
How are you doing?
What?
That's useless apparently.
Yes, but even not through words, it surely can be overcome.
I don't really need words.
Communication is through feeling.
This CD got 12 set.
I'll give it with only 20.000 yen!
What!
Hey, if it out then it's faul,ok.
Next, you guys.
Which one? Which one? Red, red.
Correct? correct, it is close to the blue right?
I wanna play. I wanna play, I wanna play too.
Wait, who's next?
Who is it, who is it?
Kurumi-chan!
Looks like the blue one is closer.
How is it, are you ok? - Nothing.
If anything just call me ok.
Yes. - Yes.
Tsukasa...
Why do you want to be a volunteer?
hmmm, because it's fun with you guys.
That means, we are the person who encourage Tsukasa.
Wanna drink?
Give it to me.
Here. - Thank you.
Not good.
Yukari, in a moment she will be out of here.
In the end, a cute kid,
whose parent died in an accident is being adopted.
Not like me who's ugly and the parent was a former convict, that is so sad.
If so, why not you try in study and sport?
I don't like study, and I'm not good in sports.
Then, you can be someone's bride.
You can save the money and then do the plastic surgery for your face.
Plastic surgery? - Yes.
Yea, that's right too. - Yea.
Though can be expressed by words, but feeling can be contradictory.
True right?
What's with you? Things are not going smooth with the relationship with your girlfriend?
Ok just tell it, if it's about love just leave it to me.
Can I tell about my love life problem to Tendon-san?
Keep calm. Someone who has never been a professional preacher can be a pro consultant.
So can I ask something?
Yes.
So Tonden-san... - Mm.
Honestly, what is love? How is it...
You, that is in other words it's the encounter of a man and a woman, right?
Then you feel it in your heart,
And then you always wanna be with her that it becomes unbearable,
So you realized,
That you were born to meet with this person.
You always wanna be with her, and you wanna do something for her.
With that kind of thinking in your mind, that is love right?
The moment you start to think like that, that is the moment when you start to fall in love.
Oh I see.
But Tonden-san...
How could we know that something that we felt in our heart is the real love or not?
Look Masami, you just have to continue to believe it.
Until the answer is there,
Prepare yourself, and step on the pedal as hard as you can.
What you have to do is just to believe it.
Abashiri public gymnasium, woman in a wheelchair, one person, in the name of Yamamoto.
I repeat, Abashiri public gymnasium, woman in a wheelchair, one person...
Ok, here is taxi 105 that will be heading to Abashiri public gymnasium. Roger.
Tonden-san, I will go there.
I wanna go to Kitami again today, let's go.
Did you remember already what you need?
Yes I do.
This one right, let's go.
Ok, going to put you down.
Alright.
Delicious isn't, the curry?
Mm.
The other day we eat sweet dessert, today is the spicy food.
Look at this!
Great.
But, is it true that my measurement is the same as Toshio-san?
Just take it easy.
Tsukasa-san really like to play boccia,right?
During high school, I was allowed to ride my friend's car.
The car ignored the red light.
Then...Suddenly it crashed.
At the hospital, my consciousness gradually began to return.
I was thinking that I've been kicked by God.
So I was upset and said that "I will repay it"
Repay it? - Yes.
How to do it?
By winning the gold medal in boccia.
Even boccia is looking just easy, but actually it's a pretty tough competition.
If we hit the ball and reversing the position at the end.
Then...
Sorry, wait a minute,ok?
Hello.
Oh so? It's ok if you really got something to do.
But in another two weeks I got lots of works too.
Sorry, if this works, I want to work on it since it's a big contract.
But , I really love you Masami.
Masami loves me too right?
Yea. But now you are working right?
Yes, till then.
Who's that?
Seems like he's an acquintance, but I didn't remember.
Eh?
Just how many times we meet, I cant't remember the person that I don't remember.
Don't know why.
The memory just gone like that.
Yes just gone like that. - So you forgot it right.
Maybe one day, when I greet you,
It might be that you also forgot me.
This is Yoko-san the helper.
Hello.
Well then, see you again.
Don't think about anything else.
We are just friends.
Oh so.
"We are just friends."
Why am I dumped?
In fact, I've checked the salaries, loans and your appartment.
I'm sorry.
Aaah... it hurts.
This is hurt.
Really hurt.
I don't know how you live your life alone.
Anyway our house is just nearby. You can come here once in a while.
Plus today is a day off, you even come back home.
Didn't you have girlfriend?
Actually, how should I say it.
Dad, if you want to brush it,
Here, don't forget to clean Tama's fur using this.
Yea.
Stop it already, his fur is already all over the table.
It's better right, than it is all over the floor.
Yes if so then it's easier to clean it using that thing.
It's easier to collect it like that.
But, we have our meal here.
Eh? - I go first, I'll come again next time.
Wanna go already? - Yeah.
Going on a date? - What?
"will you go shopping with me..."
"If you are free tomorrow?"
Say, I listen to this too, Will I be able to speak English too?
If I said "impossible" You'll surely study hard right?
Ok...ok..ok... We take turn ok... take turn.
Ouch it's hurt! Who's that?
Who?! It hurts...it hurts...it hurts...
Apparently Koyanagi is Tsukasa's friend too.
Say, what type of person he was during high school?
He was very popular because he was the basketball champion.
So tired.
Children's energy is incredible.
Yes, this is my job.
Even during evening they got another children.
Tsukasa is going out with this guy?
Yea it's true.
Yeah so?
Obviously, we are going out right?
Then, since the moment what happened?
In the end, she didn't want to talk when we were in the car, and didn't answer my phone call.
Of course she's like that, stupid you.
Meet with a guy for only three times and he's easily talk something like that in front of others.
So how is she going to trust in that feeling of yours.
You are too reckless.
You haven't changed at all since high school.
So, how's your relationship with Saki?
How did you know about it?
This is a small city,
Before this she has worked in Kinoshita.
We broke up already. It happened at this place.
If so, are you serious with Tsukasa?
It's true that I'm a stupid person.
But I'm not that stupid to fool around with a person like Tsukasa.
I'm thinking about it properly.
And also, I know that she's afraid to love someone.
But it depends on the person.
I've tried my best to gather all my feelings.
I know that you are not a bad guy.
But you are too reckless.
Didn't you understand?
Oi, Don't sleep! Wake up! Stupid.
Here you are.
Why do you say that, your body can be frozen!
Wait a minute.
Are you ok? - Yeah. So cold.
Here, wipe your face. - Ok.
I take it off ok.
Ok.
Are you ok? Still can feel it?
No, it's weird.
No? Wait a minute.
Ok.
Frozen.
Yea cold.
If you need me, just call me straight away.
Please.
If you call me, I'll come directly.
But I can't if I got passenger, If not I'll surely come as soon as possible.
What is your answer?
I need you anyway.
What is that?
I forgot.
You forgot?
Yeah I forgot.
Oh that so.
Wait a minute.
Hey, are we going out now?
Why, you remember it?
But, I didn't remember the moment you said you love me.
Mm.
I
want to go out with you Yamamoto Tsukasa.
Can't it be?
I'll think about it.
Eh?
I will think about it.
You want tea or coffe?
Tea.
I...
wanna hug you..
If so,
Only three second.
One... two... three.
Ok, done.
You didn't give the mood at all.
Because we are not officially going out.
I'm going to measure it.
Didn't this shirt's color is too striking?
Because you are too plain, with this color it makes you look good.
Is it true?
Yes true.
How about me?
It suits you really.
Thank you.
Next, Tsukasa-san.
Ok.
♪～ I'll take you away
♪～ so come to me
I thought you already went out on the road, why, are you still upset?
No, how about Tonden-san? still hasn't found the new love?
What do you say? Every second I live is filled with love.
There is a professor who's really beautiful would like to come here from Shanghai to examine clione (sea butterfly).
Even though I used to say that words are not needed, At least there's word that you need to say right?
Yea.
"Wo Ai Ni" Do you understand the meaning from that word?
That is the most important words in life.
Eh, "Wo Ai Ni" ?
Yes, "Wo Ai Ni"
"Wo Ai Ni"
Your voice is too soft, say it directly from your diaphragm.
"Wo Ai Ni"
"I love you"
"Wo Ai Ni" (I love you)
"Wo Ai Ni"
"Maa-san, have you ever read about Hellen Keller's Autobiography?
"Helen Keller who's blind and deaf asked Sallivan the meaning of word "Love"
"Is love is something like the smell of this flower?"
Wow, Carousel. I can't wait to ride it.
Yes, it's ok, just bring it.
Hello. - Hello, welcome.
Welcome. - Wow, Carousel.
Ah, Sorry.. sorry.
Welcome to Dream Carousel.
Here's the ticket. - Yea, here.
Yes, Please enjoy it.
Thank you. - Thank you.
Ok, which one to ride?
Eh, this pink one.
Pink? This one? - Sorry.
Yes? - Sorry wait.
Yes.
We are sorry, this is for the safety reason. It is not allowed for this woman.
Eh, why? It's nothing.
Plus there is someone accompanying her.
What did you say? You didn't learn it during your training?
We are sorry, but maybe you can enjoy another game.
But... - Wait.
I still can accept it if this is the Jet coaster.
Why can't she ride this kind of harmless ride like this?
While there even someone accompanying her, it's weird.
So, do you mean that the person with this kind of body cannot play the game here?
I understand your feeling, but...
We have to think about the security of our visitors here.
This is the operational policy.
Yea, but,
Yea enough Maa-san, it's ok.
If so, then we will try another game.
What do you do?
No, I thought that would make you interested.
Do it again then.
Ok.
Maa-san you are great.
Eh?
How is it? You feels better?
Yes it got better.
Good.
Maa-san,
Don't know why suddenly I remember many things.
As if I've came here before.
Eh?
When is it? With who?
I remember.
What?
The person who was with me to the theme park at that time.
He was my boyfriend during high school.
Oh that so.
I was going out with him for about one year during grade 3 in high school.
When I involved in an accident, then I regained my consciousness,
During the rainy day,
Even though he didn't meet me anymore, I tried to call him.
Actually,I did it without my mom knowing it, then called him.
And I asked, "Are we still in a relationship?"
And he answered,
"Yes we are still in a relationship"
I asked again,"oh, that so. We are still in a relationship, didn't we?"
"But, does it enough with only this way?"
So I said to him,
"It's better if we break up,isn't it?"
Then he answered,
"Yeah, it seems so."
Even though I didn't think that he would just simply agree.
Don't put a face like that, this is not a sad story.
It's just a story in the past.
Mm.
Hello, we meet again.
I've noticed that from earlier but, not sure whether I have to greet or not.
Hello.
Looks like you guys having fun? From the theme park?
Yea.
I went there today too, bringing them together.
Because my day off is during the weekdays,
So I lied to the kindergarten that they caught a fever.
Ok then,
If I leave them alone, don't know what they will do.
Till we meet again then, enjoy your dinner.
Ok.
So how?
Seems it's going to get out until here but,
I really couldn't remember it.
Over here.
It's gonna be ok?
It's ok. If I get scolded, I'll write to the newspaper to submit about this issue.
I'm always with her at the rehabilitation center.
But seems that she didn't recognize me.
What's your name?
I'm Junpei.
Junpei-kun - Yes!
Junpei-kun, let's walk! - Yes I'm Junpei.
Ok.
Oh, it's on! - How beautiful.
Yes, you are safe.
Ok.
Alright, let's send you guys to the beautiful dream world.
Carousel, start!
Already started.
Wow, it's moving.
Wow it's high.
This is great isn't it,Maa-san! - Yeah.
Say, Maa-san.
Um?
If you wanna run away, this is the right time.
What is this? - Hmm?
What? -What?
Can't reach it.
Yeah... pass the ball! Pass!
Nice shoot!
Yes, Nice Shoot! Come on next.
Masami is late again?
Yes it can't be help, maybe he is driving his passenger to a distant place?
Come on, Come on! - Goro-san, Look at that.
She's my girlfriend.
Masami, -Yes?
How about the beautiful girl from the real estate company?
We broke up already.
You're really moving beyond prediction,aren't you?
I haven't even been accepted.
Ah! Toshio, Shinta.
Junpei!
Here, here. -Yepp, we go there.
Short skit of Toshio and Shinta. "At The Hospital"
Next patient please come in.
What is it?
Doctor, - Yes?
Since yesterday, - Yes?
My body feels hot, - Your body feels hot,
I'm caughing, - You are caughing,
My body is trembling.
So your body is trembling, alright.
What's wrong with me?
Yes that is Cerebral Palsy.(a brain disease)
This is fever.
Short skit "At The Hospital" Part 2.
Doctor, what's wrong with me?
Nothing, you just caught a little fever.
Oh fever is it? -Yes
Doctor, I got a work after this.
So I have to get well as soon as possible,
Can't I just get an injection?
Ah, Alright. -Ok
I'm going tp inject you. - Yes please.
Alright, I'm going to start now,
Ah... enough already.
So, thank you very much!
Is the Sake enough already? Everyone can.
You wanna drink?
Is everything enough already?
Guys don't force yourself to drink Sake so much.
Tsukasa too, didn't you drink too much? Are you ok?
Are you guys all drinking?
Come on today we are motivated.
As drunk as this.
I'm sorry.
Tsukasa's friend?
Yes, sorry.
I'm Tsukasa's mother.
Nice to meet you, I'm Koyanagi Masami.
Maa-san, Hold...
Though actually I allowed her to live alone as she wants to make Tsukasa becomes strong.
I'm sorry.
Looks like you guys were drinking alone?
Ah no, with the others too.
I want to declare my relationship with Tsukasa-san.
You shouldn't say something like that when you are drunk.
Just go back now.
Ok, I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
"Yesterday's night, after so long I feel like floating in the sky and dreaming."
"Under my feet lies a sea of the white ice, then there is a really big polar bear chasing me,"
"Then my body is pulled by the polar bear, aaaah... Maa-san I will be eaten by the polar bear, Help me!!
Finally I remember who is he.
Mom,
Tama's toilet sand has run out.
That's because your Shochuu drink (sake) has increased.
Change it once a day only is just enough right?
How can you, if the toilet is dirty Tama couldn't do his bussiness comfortably.
He's ok, right Tama?
Yes~
Sorry this is me.
Just come in.
Is it my stupid son?
She's my girlfriend.
This is my dad, this is my mom.
Nice to meet you I'm Yamamoto Tsukasa.
Your girlfriend?
Ah, your friend,right?
I want to marry her.
What did you say?
I said, I want to marry her.
But, You...
Just why, dad? mom?
You guys won't allow me to marry her?
We never say that we won't allow you.
But,this talk is just too sudden,
Dad...
Mom, Please take care of Tsukasa.
Wait Masami,
Want to use the cushion?
Ah sorry for the bother, Thank you.
Sorry, I didn't really understand,
I make the japanese tea,ok?
Ok. - Alright.
Dad wait! Don't go!
Don't follow me!
What do you think basically stupid son?
Of all the people why must be someone that,
Is it possible for me to see my grandchildren's face?!
Oi, old fart. Take back your words before.
Don't call me old fart,stupid!
Then what should I call,stupid!
Should I call you stupid? Oi Stupid!
What kind of son are you replying to your parents like that!
That's because you didn't let me call you old fart,
So I'm calling you "Stupid" You stupid!
Who's stupid, Stupid!
Aah! -Ah can fall!
What, Hah!
Ahh, Dangerous! Can fall!
It's dangerous!
I can fall, fall.
Wait, I said I can fall.
Eh, so fast.
This girl is really not bad too.
Just take Tsukasa home for today.
Ok.
This is your fault Maa-san.
You decided it by yourself without any compromise.
I'm cold.
I want to marry Tsukasa-san.
This girl, she can't do anything by herself.
That's not true!
It's true indeed.
Even though now she insist to live a life by herself.
Because the helper and I are here so she can get through it.
Tsukasa is getting older by now.
As her body might have possibility to get better or even getting worse.
And so you...
Might not like her being like that.
If you didn't leave her
You're probably going to suffer later.
"May be ... may be... may be" What is that mean?!
Tsukasa!
Mom you are too much!
Why you always think about the bad things like that?!
Even people like me...
Can be a good wife for Maa-san!
I can make tea.
Ah, wait,
Aren't you get burnt? see...
Enough mom.
Never mind, I can make tea by myself.
But when there's time, Tsukasa can definitely make it.
Mom,
Whatever you will say, I will determine my own life.
I will live in my own way.
If so, just be patient in this one year.
If after a year your feelings didn't change,
We will talk about it again.
I don't want!
Try to be patient!
This is...
Tsukasa's memories since the accident happened until now.
The moment when the doctor said that her consciousness won't return.
You didn't know, aren't you, how I'm living my life all this time?
Learn it.
Wait, why you give this to Maa-san at the moment like this?
You don't have to watch it!
Tsukasa
Tsukasa?
Until when you want to sleep?
Say, tsukasa
Good morning.
Good morning
Tsukasa's eyes didn't open at all.
What is this?
Wearing thing like this.
This is the proof that Tsukasa's still alive.
Tsukasa?
Tsukasa still sleeping.
Tsukasa-san?
Please answer if you understand,ok?
Where do you think you are?
How old are you?
Tsukasa-san?
Why do you think you are here now?
Tsukasa-san?
Tsukasa?
Why did you get here?
Tsukasa?
Tsukasa-san?
Tsukasa?
Tsukasa, why did you get here?
Ok, try to use these stuffs
and move it like what I told to.
Do you understand?
Then let's get started.
Move the pen next to the tooth brush.
Alright.
Tsukasa is fighting now.
She's working hard to eat.
Come on.
Come on Tsukasa just a little more, don't give up, Come on.
Hold it right,come on one more time,one more time.
A little more,a little more.
Yes, like that.
Yes, now hand towards the mouth.
Yes, but unfortunately it didn't reach.
Come on one more time, one more time. Don't give up.
Yes like that Tsukasa.
Great. You eat properly!
Woa, is it delicious?
See, you made it right?
If you want to do it you surely can,Tsukasa?
Come on one more time,one more time Do it right.
A little bit higher.
Just a little bit...
You did it,you did it!
If you want, you can right? it worked well,didn't it?
If you yourself want to fight, we will definitely can go home.
Alright, come on one more time. Work hard.
Stand up, you can stand up!
Yes, a little more.
Woah, you are standing!
You are standing! You did it, you did it!
Then, move your supporting tool forward,
Come on, use your energy.
A little bit more, move on a little bit more.
Then how was it? The right leg,
Let's try again to move forward a little bit.
See, you can walk.
You are using your left leg.
Succeded for one step, come on one more time, one more time.
Use your right hand energy to move the cane forward,ok,
Keep it steady,ah.. wait...
Just a moment.
Try to be patient for a moment... patient.
Slowly balance it... yes good...good.
Just relax you surely can do it.
It's ok.Slowly... yes like that.

"Love is not a fragrance of a flower, That is what Sallivan said and so Helen Keller is thinking..."
"Is the Love is like the warmth of the sun?"
The electric blanket switch is down there.
Oh ok.
Thank you.
Your stupid dad gave him a little bit of sake.
Sorry.
Did Nagomi already understand?
That he couldn't meet Tsukasa anymore?
He definitely understand.
He understands, but he pretended not to understand.
Come on, pass it here.. pass..
Yes, shoot!
Thank you for the food.
Ok.
I go first. -Yea.
Mom, I'm going to be a father.
What?
Please tell this to dad too.
See you later.
Ok.
Here. Don't forget to get it ok.
This is your favorite so I made it.
Mom...
I...
get it.
What is it?
Child from Maa-...
Maa-san 's child...
Your grandchild will be born.
So...
Mom can be happy again.
I can't forgive it.
I can't forgive what you guys have done.
But even if so, what should I do?
I only have to accept it right?
Is there any other way?
It's always the parents who are disadvantaged.
Really.
Children grown up by themselves.
Don't tell this to anyone, this is only me saying it.
I need to get back to work.
Mother. (the polite form used when talking to parents)
Actually...
Tsukasa and I also feel afraid, but we didn't have any choice.
It is true like you said.
But we,
Don't want to give up.
If can, I want you to help us always.
Please.
Thank you for this.
i got lost. where's the subway station?
Where is the subway station?
go straight and turn right at the second corner
You will see the subway station
go straight and turn right at the second corner
You will see the subway station
Open already.
Hello.
Please come in.
Want me to make a tea?
Yes.
You can clean up by yourself?
Even though I'm handicapped, I don't want to be said as a slob.
Who said that to you?
I don't want to be said that by my child who's going to be born later.
Ok.
Please, do not hesitate.
Yes.
Sorry.
Umm...
Yeah,
Then,
Good bye.
Eh? wait.
Umm, Father...
Hello.
Masami, Yes.
Oh so.
Whatever the gender a girl or a boy when this child is born later
We will give the name "Nagomi"
So he can make everyone feels at ease.
Yes, we found it after we red the book given by dad.
So how about Tsukasa-chan's health?
Oh so? Thank goodness then.
Oh yes, don't forget to call Tsukasa's mom too. Yes.
He said that they made it from the book that you gave them.
Eh? no I was talking to dad.
Eh, wanna talk? Is it ok? Alright.
What did you say, don't talk like that, poor him.
Yes I know your feeling, but...
Yes, you... Try to look at Tsukasa's condition properly.
The baby's body is very soft.
So even if treated a litte rough he's gonna be ok.
You came at the right time so she can practice.
Eh Aunty,
Isn't Toma-chan is bigger now?
My Masami is the biggest.
But Masami, isn't he's quiet but a little nasty?
Seiko!
Because seems from before he's
Someone who didn't know how to talk or even didn't know how to express his love.
But strangely he was very popular and well treated.
Isn't he always like that.
Say , Tsukasa has he ever said "I love you" or "I like you" ?
Eh? but he treated me gently.
But yes,
I don't know if it is because of shy or what.
I can't stand with guys who couldn't express his feelings with words.
Isn't that make you lonely?
While we are already married.
And I think he must have another reasons of why he couldn't express his words.
What do you talk about? You've only got divorce for 3 months.
That's not your problem, right?
It's not that.
Because I've failed before so I can give a little advice.
If you said so, how about Father?
Since we got married, he never said "I love you" even once.
He always forget our anniversary each year.
He always pay attention to Sake only.
Right?
Because of that, because uncle is like that,
Masami must have followed him, I'm just giving my advice.
Oh yes, about the wedding reception, have you guys discussed about it?
We have discussed it to make it before this child is born.
Don't be half way like that.
Guys if we let them be like that, later he would pretend he didn't know.
If so, soon you will think,
"Looks like I couldn't continue the marriage with this kind of person."
That's what happened to me.
Sorry ok.
You haven't changed, what makes you look so nervous like that?
I'm happy to hear Saki said that.
Sorry to make you wait.
Hello, I'm Morimoto.
Hello.
He's my ex-boyfriend.
I'm her boyfriend now.
I heard from my colleage that Saki is single.
So I have replaced you now,sorry.
Ah It's ok.
I'm home.
Alas, today's sales is not really good.
What's wrong?
I've been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Until Nagomi is born later,
Is it ok if we go back to mom's house for a while?
You don't know what will happen later.
what are you looking for?
Turn off.
Why?
Turn off!
I'm Looking for a wallet
What's wrong with you?
I can do everything by myself.
After this child is born,
I don't want to rely on anyone.
What do you mean? What's the matter with you?
Who's that person? - What?
The person who was with you at the restaurant, who's she?
My ex-girlfriend.
No, no, not like that.
Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute!
No, not like that! Look at this.
See, see, see this apartment 'Disable'
What?
Apartment 'Disable'. This apartment.
Apartment?
I'm thinking to buy it if I can continue to work.
For now maybe not. But I want save the money for the deposit.
And one more thing,
This one too.
It's empty on the 2nd November.
Even not on the good day, but because it's the trial day on this day so may be ok.
Mean. You are mean Maa-san.
I'm happy but you're mean.
You always decided everything on your own.
If you keep going on like this I think
I definitely lost my consciousness already.
Sorry.
Try to move. - Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry.
Take everything that fell. - Yes it's ok I take it.
I'm looking at this. - Yes just take a look.
I've lost to you.
I give lots of advices to others.
I didn't even have the courage to step forward on my own.
Always blame it to others pretending not to see my own fault.
But, I'm starting to get serious now.
I've realized. Tonden the man the day of victory is near.
Don't forget to write a letter if you've arrived in Hawaii. I'll definitely reply it.
Ok. - And one more thing.
Actually I want to give it back the English listening CD, but,
Tsukasa seems to start to get interested,
It's ok, I've got another new one.
Alright.
We parted here.
Ok.
Blessed you guys.
Ok!
Mom.
Yes?
Thank you.
Congratulations! -- Thank you.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Congratulations.
Kicking.
He's kicking. Nagomi's kicking my belly!
God, he's kicking! Feel it.
Eh what?!
Yes true, he's kicking!
Kicking. He's kicking!
Shizuka!
How? - She will give birth soon.
Come on!
Ah, how's her condition? How's she?
Not yet. - Not yet?
It's been a long time.
Hello.
Still hasn't born yet.
How?
Already born?
Yes.
You made it!
Already born? already born? - Finally!
A girl? a girl?
A boy?
A boy. - Congratulations.
Congratulations, congrats.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Maa-san. Thank you.
Good work.
Good work. Thank goodness!
Then, just wait a minute.
Woa.. so cute! - Tsukasa.
Listen ok, don't touch, just don't touch first.
Listen, just see first!
Dad. - Nothing.
What? - Just nothing.
Really?
Congratulations. - Woa so cute.
He's smiling!
No...no...after all,
it should be you first.
Eh?
Woaa... he's cute!
He's a healthy baby.
You already worked hard Tsukasa.
Woa cute!
Woaaaa~ he's very cute.
He's smiling!
Cute right?
You worked hard.
Since the moment everyone's holding Nagomi,
Celebrating it, then return from the hospital.
After sending them,
I put an extra bed next to Tsukasa's bed who's sleeping.
And laid over there.
I started to think about Nagomi who had been brought to the baby nursery on the upper floor.
Maa-san?
Yes?
How are you doing?
I'm fine, and you?
Very very fine.
Maa-san,
I love you so much.
So so so much.
And..
Wo Ai Ni.
And you?
Wo Ai Ni?
Wo Ai Ni, Tsukasa.
Maa-san,
I'm sleepy.
I'll sleep for a while.
One hour later, Tsukasa's condition suddenly changed and was unconscious.
She's got the acute liver failure disease during pregnancy.
It has got nothing to do with her disability, One from thousands of pregnant woman may have this disease, this is a rare disease.
10 days later Tsukasa lost her consciousness for the second time. She has gone to the heaven.
Say, Maa-san,
Nagomi is strong but he's also gentle.
We will raise him to be a child who can be close to anyone.
It's certainly.
February 1, 2014
Double shoot.
One shoot.
5 years since that moment, I'm still thinking about it until now.
Is it because of our encounter that took Tsukasa' s life?
If we haven't met, is Tsukasa still alive now?
But later, in a long time,
Little by little I heard another voice saying,
"If you didn't meet with Tsukasa..."
"Nagomi will not be born into this world."
But if I continue to think of it
In the end will I be able to feel Tsukasa's presence by my side?
Let's eat.
Delicious isn't it, this curry?
We can have dinner outside once in a while but in exchange
You have to help me to prepare the bento tomorrow morning ok?
Say Nagomi, you have to eat when it's the mealtime.
Hey,
Look!
Let's eat.
Let's eat, hey,
Good.
Mainly the cause of the quarrel is because they fight for the toy but,
the one who started it is Nagomi.
So Kenta didn't want to lose and fight back.
Forgive my son.
Next is Kitahama, this is the last stop.
Kitahama, last stop.
Come on.
Whatever reason it is, you are the one who started it first,
So you have to apologize first to Kenta.
I'm going to apologize too juga.
Is it true dad is going to buy me new toy?
Yes.
Come on.
Here.
Let's go over there.
Come on.
Im sorry my son has...
Ah no, I'm also verry sorry,
My son is wrong too.
Ah no, but I'm sorry.
Kenta always talked about Nagomi.
Today he did something with Nagomi or Tomorrow what will he do together with Nagomi.
Or, he wants the same shoes like Nagomi.
Or, he wants the same shirt like Nagomi or anything else.
Sonomura-san
My basketball friends will have a BBQ party
All have children of the same age
If you don't mind you could join us, of course with Kenta and your wife.
I didn't have wife.
Oh so.
She died last year because of illness.
If so same with me.
It seems so,right.
For the offer earlier, I would like to join.
Oh sure. The event is fun anyway.
There will be a lot who will come, very many.
Hey, Nagomi! Kenta!
What did you do?
Enough!
What's wrong,you guys have befriends again just now isn't it?
No nothing, ok, ok, ok
Enough you guys should not fight anymore.
Look, we are spinning.
Woaa seriously!
Seriously! seriously! seriously! Im spinning, I'm spinning, I'm spinning.
Watch out watch out Ouch it hurts. Sorry ok.
Dad take this!
Ouch it hurts! - Take this.
Tsukasa,
To be honest, I didn't know What will happen to us from now on?
But we will surely continue to live.
Nagomi and I will continue to live.
So,whatever will happen after this,
To Tsukasa, forever...
I love you.
Sorry, can get a little more closer?
Yeah.
Yes like that, You two match each other.
As if we were in the wedding reception.
It seems so.
Alright, I'll take the picture.
"Dakishimetai" I just wanna hug you.
