The death of my grandmother.
6th place
I was first faced with death when I was 12 years old.
My grandmother, who only ever opened her mouth to complain,
was now surrounded by flowers with her eyes closed.

I was 10 years old.
I'm amazed that I did that, if I say so myself.

Of course, everyone at home panicked,
but I didn't feel helpless or lonely.
Instead, I felt like a small grain of rice on an endless journey across a vast dining table.
My first trip overseas is 4th place,
and getting into the university is 3rd.
2nd and 1st change places frequently.
Sometimes, I will think of those amazing few weeks when I first dated a boy,
And then there's the huge moment when I was rejected by that same boy.
At any rate, those are the top ten of my life.

Top Ten of Life
Original work Kakuta Mitsuyo
On sleepless nights, when I lie on my bed drinking alcohol, I think back to the top ten of my life.
Voice act Nakagoshi Noriko
Such a masochistic pastime.
Most of my top ten happened before I was 18 years old,
and with 40 right around the corner,
I'm surprised that I don't have any sense of fulfilment or accomplishment befitting my age.
Really.
It doesn't feel like I've lived 40 years already.
In middle school, I had a hazy vision of the future.
I wonder what we'll be like when we're 20.
I think we'll be crazy in love.
Eh?
Crazy in love?
We will have a really loving relationship, and we'll marry.
Wow!
That's amazing!
I'll have children before turning 30,
and by 40 I'll be a mother who will spend time with her children and friends.
And finally, I'll hold hands with my husband,
who will have gotten grey hair by then, and skip around.
What the hell was I saying?
I spoke about turning 40 as if it were absurdly far away,
but since then the only thing that has changed is my appearance.
Really.
It's even a little frightening that it didn't work out the way I expected.
I'm not even in love, you know.
There were several reasons for deciding to go the class reunion:
My 40th birthday was just a week after the reunion,
Municipal Sakuranooka 3rd Middle School17th graduation
Class reunion notification
Kinouchi Oshie, whom I still associate with, asked me to go with her.

Nigawa Hatoko-sama
August 21st, the date of the class reunion, was a workday.
Cosmetics proposal targeting women around 40 years of age
This isn't any different from the commodities aimed at younger women.
Eh?
But I don't really know anything about lotion aimed at 40 year old women.
Wait, wait.
What should I do here as the Assistant Section Chief?
Case 1.
Praise her and postpone it
Praise her and postpone it.
Praise her and postpone it
Well, please figure out what you don't know.
I trust your style so do your best.
I'm looking forward to it.
Case 2.
Persuade her calmly.
Persuade her calmly
If you won't do it properly, it will affect your evaluation.
If you don't mind that, I won't either.
Case 3.
Flat out scold her.
Flat out scold her
Don't give me that "I don't know" crap!
Figuring it out is your job in planning and development.
Hand me a better proposal before the day is over.
Um.
All I have to do is to fix it, right?
I want to go home at the normal time, so is tomorrow okay?
Well then.
Welcome.
I'm starting to hate her.
Saying "Eh?" and "But..." all day.
She should check her work properly before coming to me.
Hey, say.
Did you hear that a new shop was opened right across the intersection?
Are you even listening to what I say?
You're quite dressed-up today, Hatoko.
Wearing a blouse and a skirt is enough, you know.
You're the one always wearing a white blouse and a skirt.
She has twenty of the same white blouse.
I have different coloured skirts, you know!
What's that?
You do?
Say...
If you just met me today, would you think I'm attractive?
Eh?!
Ah, eh...
You're going on a group date today?
You're getting a head start!
It's a class reunion.
Eh?!
You're looking wonderful, Princess Hatoko!
So that's why you put some effort into your clothes!
Will your first love be there or something?
Sort of...
Just like in those dramas!
They say that class reunions are the number one place for middle-aged people to find love.
There was a drama like that, wasn't there?
I kept commenting on it when I was watching it.
They're not even listening.
Yes, yes!
Imagine being stuck in something like that.
Come again!
You could almost say that they are not interested in love,
and at the same time they are afraid of hurting each other more than anything else.
That may be why we're perfectly content approaching 40 even though we're so awfully plain and single.
There's still 30 minutes left.
Arriving too early would make it seem like I'm desperate,
so instead I tried practising what I'd say when I meet Kishida Yuusaku.
It's been a while.
How have you been doing?
Me?
I'm working at a commodity company.
I'm in the cosmetics development department.
It's been a while.
How have you been doing?
Eh?
Me?
I'm still alone.
But I'd like to marry soon and become a cute wife.
Just kidding.
That might be a little too much.
No way!
It really has been a long time.
Am I married?
No way, no way.
Work is so much fun that I don't have time for that.
I'm a department manager, you know.
That would be too much.
By the time I got back to the meeting place,
I had come up with three different introductions.
But none of them was the real me.
I was well aware of the fact that I hadn't been able to become any of those.
Please sign here, and the fee, please.
Nikawa-san?
Hm?
You're Hato-chan, right?
Um...
You don't remember me?
I was really plain back then.
Ah, Nojima-san?
You remember me?
Ah, yeah, I couldn't tell, you've become really pretty.
I'm the shop manager for a boutique in Aoyama now.
Just a hired one, though.
Well, my children don't need constant care anymore,
and my husband approves as well.
Ah, let's talk again later.
Having a husband, children, and even being a shop manager.
I totally lose to her.
The place was already getting lively.
I tried to look for Kishida Yuusaku,
but there were only middle-aged men and women that I couldn't recognize.
Hato-chan!
Ah, Yoppie!
It's been a while!
Kinouchi Oshie.
She went to a Tokyo university like me,
and has already gone through both marriage and divorce.
Now she's working for a travel agency.
I'm happy I found you.
Yeah, there are only unfamiliar faces.
That's not true.
I thought so at first as well,
but after you start talking to them, their facial features kind of morph and then you can see their middle school face.
It might be a horror in a sense.
I'm the same though.
Thank you everyone for gathering here today.
I said it'd be only a Tokyo gathering,
but there are quite a few out-of-towners coming from afar.
Thank you for your hard work!
Is that person... Kanda-kun?
Yep.
It's Kanda-kun.
He hasn't changed at all.
I wonder.
Well then...
Cheers!
There are five organisers for this event, right?
Is that so?
Like Matsudani-kun and Nobe-san.
...and Kishida-kun.
Hey, look, the person over there.
That's definitely Non-chan!
Hey, Non-chan!
Non-chan.
Taira Noriko.
Former beauty pageant winner in our school.
I live in Chiba now, and have a hard time with loans and children, you know.
Even while talking,
I was scanning the place, looking for Kishida Yuusaku.
Here, the map to the afterparty.
Guide to the location of the afterparty
Thanks.
Eh, are you okay?
I drank a little too much.
I'm sorr-
Kishida Yuusaku
Kishida... kun?
I dated Kishida Yuusaku for 3 weeks back in the second-year summer of middle school.
Please go out with me!
Kishida Yuusaku was a laid-back guy.
Among the guys, who mostly had crew cuts,
he let his hair grow out and get kind of messy.
I liked him that way.
Like with his hairstyle,
he was careless and irresponsible about some things.
He would apologise flippantly when scolded,
so he would get scolded again for his behaviour.
He also laughed a bit when I confessed to him.
You're amazing.
We left it at that for a while,
New arrivals
but when summer vacation started,
New arrivals
he invited me to watch a movie with him.
New arrivals
For the first three weeks of summer vacation,
we met practically every day.
After ten days had passed,
we hung around in a coffee lounge near school.
The coffee lounge, Chichuukai,
had an old gaming machine that he'd play all the time.
I was happy when I was with Kishida Yuusaku.
We kissed once.
We're dating, right?
Eh?
Uh, sort off.
Then...
Kiss me!
Eh?!
Kissing is normal when dating, right?
Well then.
With no time to close my eyes, I opened them wide.
Everything I saw was shining golden.
Really.
Even now, I still think I must've spent my life's supply of ambition, courage and energy that summer.
Just before the summer vacation ended,
I would call to ask him what we would to the next day...
With my lifetime supply of ambition, courage and energy,
I called him every day, but couldn't reach him.
It turned September, and that's when I saw Kishida Yuusaku coming out of the Chichuukai coffee lounge with a girl one year our senior.
It was the end of summer.
And now I met Kishida Yuusaku again.
In front of the toilet.
You're Kishida-kun... right?
Eh, um, yeah.
Ah, Nikawa-san?
Could this be class reunion love?
It might work out! Calm down, calm down.
It's been a really long time!
Ah, yeah, it has been.
It has!
I haven't seen you at all, so I started wondering if you even came.
I was starting to think that there was no point in coming.
I couldn't see the old Kishida Yuusaku in him.
You've changed, Kishida-kun.
Really?
You've become pretty.
Ah, you were always pretty, but now you look more mature.
No way, I'm already close to becoming 40 you know,
it'd be bad if I wasn't mature by now.
Yeah.
S-Say, Kishida-kun.
Are you going to the afterparty?
Afterparty?
Ah.
Are you?
Back in the second grade of middle school,
he never once called me Hatoko-chan.
For the first time, I realised it was nice to be an adult.
Hatoko-chan?
If you're going, I will as well.
If you're not going... I probably... won't either.
Why don't we go drinking with just the two of us then?

That's funny!
Are you okay, Hatoko-chan?
I'm okay, I'm oka-
Drinking any more would be pushing it, don't you think?
I don't want to go yet.
I want to rest somewhere.
I've said it!
I'm sure he will say no.
When that happens, I'll just laugh it off and go home alone by taxi.
In that case.
Eh?
A class reunion for just the two of us.
It's so nice to be an adult.
I'm sorry for doing such a poor job.
I think I drank too much.
It's okay.
Rather,
I'm surprised that you really haven't got any older, Kishida-kun.
If you're not married, you must be popular among the women.
Or is it the other way?
You're too popular to marry anyone?
Ah. Do you remember?
The Chichuukai?
Chichuukai?
The coffee lounge.
Right next to middle school.
Ah, that Chichuukai.
You always played that game there with your mouth half open.
After that I saw you many times with other girls in Chichuukai.
You must've had a boyfriend as well, right?
Well, after I entered high school I went out with a few.
At university I sort off lived together with a guy as well.
After I started working, I had some talks about marriage, too.
And now?
You don't have anyone you're dating?
I do, of course.
We've been dating for 3 years now,
and he's probably thinking about marriage now.
But I don't really feel like marrying.
Why?
Why...?
Didn't seeing everyone make you wonder?
Everyone was acting like a stuffed toy.
Huh?
The company's name, their kid's school grades,
their home with a garden, their husband.
I felt like everyone was talking big about it.
Ah.
I don't want to marry and become like them.
I'm scared of pretending that I have so much, but in reality having only so little.
I sort of understand.
But in spite of saying those things, I'm almost 40 already.
I have this habit of always thinking up several options before doing something.
I think I'm scared of choosing.
That's why I'm the only one who doesn't have anything, just like in middle school.
I've got a worthwhile job,
and a boyfriend who'd like to marry me,
but still I feel like I don't have anything.
And when something really bitter happens,
I always think back to that summer I spent with you.
In other words, it might be the genuine love for someone that I obtained back then.
I don't have anything,
but I just want to shine myself.
While I was talking, I didn't even know anymore what was true and what wasn't.
I didn't have a boyfriend.
That sleepless night I only remembered in astonishment that I've come this far and still have nothing.
But I felt like I was undressing myself piece by piece in front of the guy I went out with for three weeks.
I see.
The way you felt distant from the others at the party...
...might've been because you're able to say out loud that you don't have anything.
Still, I think marriage is a good thing.
Huh?
Even though I'm still single,
my dream is having a wife I love who cooks dinner and waits at home for me to come back from work.
When I'm married,
I want to eat her home-made food together with her, every day.
If all the guys had the same dream as you,
it'll be impossible for me to get married,
since I'm so bad at cooking.
Huh?
Didn't you give me a handmade chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Heh?
It tasted really good, you know.
So I'm sure your cooking will be delicious.
I-I wonder.
I didn't remember making chocolate.
But feel I might've given him chocolate.
The life you've dreamed of, starting from the kitchen
You should have this. It has some really great cookware.
The life you've dreamed of, starting from the kitchen
You're a pots and pans salesman?
No, no.
This is the company of a friend of mine.
Italian cooking products.
I see.
Yeah.
I'm a designer at this company.
Nice to meet you.
Kishida Yuusuke
I'm just a designer at a little company designing logos and stuff.
Kishida Yuusuke
So, this frying pan doesn't need oil, and you can cook the food with only the liquid in the ingredients.
Indian millet, Green soybeans and such will taste impressively delicious just by boiling them.
I wish I could try your cooking, Hatoke-chan.
I mean, treat me for dinner.
Let's eat together.
Boiled Indian millet.
The life you've dreamed of, starting from the kitchen
On the other side of the pamphlet,
I could see the gaming machine from Chichuukai.
Sitting there, we were young and had little to do.
Making a small dinner with the frying pan which didn't need oil, talking about the day over dinner.
Cooking...
Might be good.
How many times do I have to tell you before you get it?!
This company is called Takapaka!
Get a grip on yourself!
Eh?
Kishida Yuusuke
I finally realised that the phone number on the business card was fake.
The 300,000 yen cookware set was delivered immediately,
but Kishida Yuusaku never came for dinner.
It seems Kishida-kun cancelled at the last minute.
Mioko was really angry.
Eh?
To the afterparty?
No, I'm saying that he didn't come to the class reunion.
Huh?!
...Indian millet... just by boiling...
Indian millet.
Eh?
What?
Do we call corn 'Indian millet'?
What?
Not in our home town.
Hato-chan?
What's wrong?
Hato-chan!
Looks delicious!
Did you make all of this?
Amazing!
You could become a wife any time.
It has been a month since I turned 40 years old.
I've cooked every day, and over time I'm getting better at it.
Ah, did you see that drama yesterday?
Several times, I've considered calling the phone number of the real Kishida Yuusaku, which I got from Nojima Mioko.
But in the end, I didn't contact him.
The life you've dreamed of, starting from the kitchen
I looked back at the top ten of my life after a long time.
1st place
I think the first place is, no matter what,
1st place
the encounter with the fake Kishida Yuusaku.
I went to a love hotel with some guy I didn't know.
If there were a real me,
that'd undoubtedly be the 13 year old girl in that summer when I was full of ambition, courage and energy.
And the fake Kishida Yuusaku reawakened that girl in me.
The person I met that day
came from the summer when I was 13 years old,
and might've been a Kishida Yuusaku more real than the real one.
I wonder where he is and what he's doing.
Right now he could by lying sprawled on a bed,
watching a woman take off her clothing, piece by piece.
