Oh, Kei.
Take a seat.
Want some juice?
Sure.
Which one?
This one.
Okay. Here.
Thanks.
What're you doing?
A comic book cafe.
You're my first customer, Kei.
Let me see your guitar.
You're not playing this year.
Yeah.
Everyone else graduated.
I thought you'd play on your own.
No way.
It's no fun if you don't do it with others.
Do you still go to Tomoki's gigs?
Oh, you guys broke up?
Yeah
He's moving to Tokyo next month.
Yeah, he is.
With Rinko and them? Tomorrow...
Oh we were gonna, but Moe got hurt and things happened...
You're not playing?
No, we're playing, but..
..not original songs.
Covers?
Yeah
So what? If you get up there, anything is fun.
What're you doing?
The Blue Heart
Ooh, cool.
"Linda linda linda..."
Cool.
Tomoki used to play
The Ramones and stuff before...
Ah, yeah.
The Blue Hearts, huh...
Nozomi, let's go.
Wake up, Nozomi.
She'll never wake up.
What should I do?
Hit her over the head.
Nozomi, let's go.
It's not working
Maybe if you pinch her nose.
Good morning.
Let's go.
Here.
Son, let's go.
Son, come on.
What?
It was on the desk.
What does it say?
"Please come to the equipment room at two."
What time is it now?
10 more minutes...
Are you going?
No.
You should go.
I'm not going.
Just go.
Hey, that's Macky!
Hey?
Hey, this way.
What's going on?
What, you mean Yusaku?
Whats Macky want with Son?
I'm not sure, but he says he sees her often.
And is in love.
What, love at first sight?
Well..
(Hello.)
Yes, hello.
(We always meet at the incinerator.)
Huh? Where?
(The incinerator. The incinerator.)
Oh. Incinerator.
(We always meet at the incinerator.)
I don't remember.
(I always go... to the incinerator to see you.)
Yeah.
(I come to school... to see you.)
Yeah...
(I... love you)
What? What did you say?
(I love you.)
Oh. Okay.
Um... I have to practice singing...
(I love you, Son.)
Can I go now...?
Uh.. I said I love you.
I don't dislike you, but... I don't like you, either.
(I want to be with them. My friends.)
What?
You said okay?
Son!
This is tomorrow's schedule...
The timetable?
It's all there.
Oh, um... here.
Oh, this.
But things are still flexible with the bands.
I'm hoping to play things by ear.
Okay. Sounds good.
Um...
The juniors will set things up tomorrow morning.
Fine.
Well, so that's all, then.
Hey, Rinko.
Yes?
Um.. just curious...
Kei and kyoko and them... Are they in another band?
So I hear.
I see.
Then could you tell them that...
They don't have to sneak around to practice at night?
I mean... For better or for worse...
School festivals... In my time were... you know...
Can I go now?
Sure.
Oh, hey! Uh... Tell them what I just said, okay?
Garlic
Son, I don't need three. Just one.
I didn't see it.
It's there.
So I'll give one to Son, and I'll eat one.
Then can I buy two, too?
Why are you eating two? Then buy one for Nozomi.
That's not fair.
Why not? Oh, I know.
We'll buy this. There are four kinds.
I said I want pudding.
Here.
Wait. What's this?
Dessert
I've only got 1000 yen. Put them back.
What about dessert?
Mom's made some jelly.
Jelly?
Put them back.
Fine.
Nozomi!
Which one?
This one.
This is Nozomi's junior high.
That's Kobayashi!
Look at his hair!
It looks like he just woke up.
Oh! Is this Mizuho?
No, though it looks like her.
That's amazing.
Look, its Kazuya Oe.
It's him. Wow.
He used to have longer hair...
You like him, Kyoko?
Yeah.
(Really?)
(These things are first come, first serve!)
Oh, that's Kazuya Oe.
You were in the same class?
Just in my last year.
(If you don't tell him soon,)
(you'll miss your chance!)
You're talking gibberish.
You should tell him how you feel.
He's free right now.
Yeah. I know...
Even Macky tried his best...
Hello?
Um, this is Kyoko.
Sorry I couldn't help out much today.
And um... Kazuya, are you free tomorrow?
The gig?
Yeah, we're doing the gig, but...
Could I see you before the gig?
Um... Just a minute.
What time is the gig tomorrow?
-3:30! -3:30!
Hello?
The gig's from 3:30. So at 2:30 in the equipment room, okay?
Yeah. Well... see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Did you ask him?
I did.
Stop by and play a game!
Hi there!
Have some great sausages!
Would you like a massage? Feels great!
Here's some Oden. Really good Oden!
Sweet crepes for sale!
Great fried noodles! How about some?
Um..
(Thank you so much for coming to see us today.)
(We're really grateful.)
(Today's the last day of our tour)
(So we're really fired up.)
(Okay, so now)
(I'll introduce the sleepy band. We've been up every night practicing!)
(On drums!)
(She misses practice, but she's cute!)
(The lovable Kyoko!)
(On bass!)
(Her cooking's a bit salty)
(and... she's shy.)
(The lovable Nozomi!)
(On guitar!)
(She's short-tempered.)
(And... is scary when she's mad.)
(But she's really sweet. And she recruited me to the band,)
(Kei!)
(And on vocals...)
(Son! Okay, let's go!)
"Like a rat, I want to be beautiful"
Son, let's start.
"But dreams will always come true"
"Almost asleep deep in your eyes is An undaunted heart"
"These tears about to overflow"
"I can't give an explanation for them"
"Today and tomorrow and the day after"
"I'll be searching for something"
"I'll grasp the microphone Like you've never seen before"
"I'll sing in a way You've never heard before"
"So"
"Do you know where my right hand is?"
Cool!
But really. The guitar was great.
We won't end here.
It's not wrong to expect a miracle.
We won't let our high school days become a memory.
Is this wind the same as the one blowing the day after tomorrow?
Will and courage will be kept in the same pocket.
This is our kingdom.
2004, Shiba High Holly Festival. The final day.
Cut!
We'll move the drums first. The freshmen can do the rest.
Morning!
Morning.
What?
It's morning.
We'll be in and out carrying the equipment to the gymnasium. It might be noisy.
It's gonna be a busy day.
Good luck!
Okay, those cymbals.
This one's for kids. That one's for adults.
Wow! Ribs!
-Son, morning!
-Morning!
Hey, you have a friend.
Who is she?
Hello!
Thanks.
No! no!
Here here.
Ribs!
Here goes!
Wait wait!
Not yet! We're not finished!
Sorry.
It's all right.
Here goes, then.
"Let's sing an endless song..."
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
It's okay, we can make mistakes. But don't stop. Let's try to play until the end.
Alright.
And Kyoko, aren't you a bit slow?
Yeah?
Yeah. Play your part.
Yes yes yes, that was good.
Okay, Kei...
Kei?
Kei.
Sorry.
Damn. I'll go wash my face.
Kei.
Hmm?
(Thank you)
(for letting me in the band.)
What's this, all of a sudden?
(I just felt like saying it.)
Thanks for joining our band, Son.
(We're both thanking.)
The gig's today! Let's do our best.
Okay!
What's going on?
Kei, Congratulations!
Mom! You didn't...
Kei, congratulations.
Kei, here.
You said your hands were too small, so....
Try it on...
Kei, congratulations!
Thank you
Thanks...
"Oh... our... long journey... Is coming to an end"
Thank you.
Now we'll do our last song...
That's the last song. Shouldn't we call the next act?
Next up... is Kei's band.
Hey, someone go find Kei's band. Makoto, go.
Okay.
Moe, have you seen Kei and them?
What? Did the Denki Bran finish?
No, but almost. But I can't find Kei.
Hold on.
Ah, thank you.
Hello.
Err, is this alcohol?
The Budokan's pretty small on stage...
It's different when it's full.
Some people are here today just for you, Kei.
Look. The Ramones and Mr. Pierre Taki.
Hello?
Huh? Kyoko?
Hmm? What?
What do you mean, "What?" I've been waiting forever.
What's going on?
Ah!
Hello? Kyoko? Hello!
Give me some.
Yeah?
A drink.
Good luck.
Uh... Well, um... I'll sing something.
No way...
I don't believe it...
Hurry, hurry!
I'm Takako.
Here goes.
Hello?
Hello? You haven't seen them? Well you're right, but...
Ah! Kazuya called!
For real?
I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.
Ah..
What?
No. It's nothing.
What? Tell us.
I forgot my bass at the studio, but
I'll just borrow one at school. It's okay.
Are you crazy? Go get it!
I'll borrow one.
No, go on!
Moe, Kei still hasn't arrived yet. So until they get here...
Could you do just one more song, please?
Another song?
Yeah.
-Son! -Son! Are you all right?
You can put the guitar down.
I'm all right.
Kyoko!
Kazuya.
Um... I'm sorry I'm late...
Yeah. What happened?
We'll go on ahead.
Son!
Right!
"Wandering, here and there, Wanderer, Wanderer"
"Even with the passing years, Wanderer"
"Wanderer, Wanderer"
You're late.
Sorry.
Where were you?
What are you gonna do?
Oh, bring a towel.
Where's Kyoko?
She's coming.
Can they go?
No, there's no more time...
We can't play?
Well, maybe not even 10 minutes.
Okay. No problem. Let's go.
You don't have time.
Yeah. I heard.
It's your own fault for being late.
I know.
You all right?
Yeah...
...not really.
Good luck.
Thanks.
You finally made it, Kei.
I'm really sorry.
You're late!
Sorry!
Good luck.
Well, go ahead.
Okay.
How'd it go?
Hmm?
I couldn't tell him.
Um.. Yes..
