Your initials I wrote in my notebook
nooto ni kaita anata no inisharu
ノートに書いた あなたのイニシャル
Discreetly overlapping so they won't be noticed
kizukarenu you sotto kasaneau
気付かれぬよう そっと重ねあう
I will follow you
I stretched up
senobi wo shite
背伸びをして
The school building I looked up at and the distant sky
miageta kousha sora no kanata
見上げた校舎 空の彼方
The moon in broad daylight shows some restraint and lingers inside the light.
hikari no naka enryo shinagara tatazunde iru mahiru no tsuki
光の中 遠慮しながら 佇んでいる 真昼の月
I want these feelings to reach you
kono omoi anata no moto e todoketai
この想い あなたの元へ届けたい
my heart
I embrace the small bud of passion that sprouted in my heart
mune ni mebaeta jounetsu no chiisa na tsubomi wo dakishime
胸に芽生えた情熱の小さな蕾を 抱きしめ
I close my eyes
itsu no hi ka ooki na hana wo sakasetai
Some day I want to make it bloom into a big flower
いつの日か 大きな花を咲かせたい
someday
Our fluttering hearts connected, our eyes exchanging a glance
tokimeku kokoro tsunagatte kawasu futari no aizu
ときめく心繋がって 交わす二人のアイズ
I...
I like you, Yoshizuki.
I said it! I finally said it!
Me too.
I like you too, Seto-kun...
...as well as Teratani-kun, Yuka, Nami and everyone else in our class.
I like them all.
It's such a shame we'll all be split up soon.
It's kind of sad.
Uh... no...
Yoshizuki, that's not really what I'm saying.
Iori, look! We got so many toys out of the crane game!
Wow! That's awesome!
Right? It turns out Teratani's really good at them!
Oh, really? Oh! This is so cute!
Isn't it?!
What?! You told her?
I did.
And what was her answer?!
Iori-chan was too drunk to understand what I meant.
She said "I like you too, Seto-kun..."
"...as well as Teratani-kun, and everyone else in our class. I like them all."
Oh, man...
She might have deliberately evaded giving me a straight answer.
What do you mean evaded?
She might have sidestepped it to avoid hurting me.
Why do you always assume the worst case?
Because... it took all my courage just to say it...
What if it was the opposite?
What if she was embarrassed and just pretended to be drunk?
But it didn't seem like that.
Did you forget?
About what?
She's in the Drama Club.
Find out at the next place we go.
I'll draw Morisaki away...
...and give you guys some alone time.
That's what we were planning anyway...
Huh? Did you say something?
Oh, no! Not really!
Anyway, you've said it once already!
You better settle it tonight!
Tonight is Christmas Eve!
A miracle's sure to happen!
Certainly...
...I think tonight will be my last chance.
Karaoke
Yashiki
Sorry! Thanks for waiting!
Hey, where are we going next?
Well, it's no fun if we all go to the same place.
Let's split up into boy and girl pairs and go somewhere separately!
Well actually, Ichitaka said he wants to be alone with Yoshizuki.
What? Really? Seto-kun, that's so brave!
Uh, well...
Seriously, huh? It's such a pain!
It's so embarrassing!
Teratani...
You better take Morisaki on a proper date too!
Yuka...
Why don't you take the opportunity to have a good time?
Iori...
Then, let's get going, Morisaki.
Sure...
Good luck, Yuka.
Thank you, Seto-kun.
I know you're doing all this for Yuka.
What about us?
What do you want to do now?
I'm sure you've still got plenty of study to do. Why don't we just head home?
Oh, wait a second!
Since we had a lot to drink,
I want to sober up before I go back and start studying.
How about a stroll?
That's fine with me.
First...
First, I need to find an opportunity to confess!
What am I supposed to talk about? What should I say?
Feeling a little more sober?
Oh, yes, thanks.
Seto-kun, are you going to study during the winter break?
Well, I think so.
Which college are you trying to get into?
Didn't I tell you?
No.
There we go! This is the perfect topic!
It's the same place you're trying to get in.
Takashiki University.
Is something wrong?
No...
What is it?
I actually decided not to go to college.
Then, after you graduate?
Seto-kun, do you know the name, Kaminogi Isai?
I'm pretty sure I recognise it.
He's a famous theatre director.
I very much respect him.
It's been my dream to join his theatre group.
So, I auditioned to join his theatre last month.
I didn't expect to pass the audition,
but by a stroke of luck, they accepted me.
What?! Are you serious?! That's great!
It was just luck, that's all.
No, it's because you have talent.
But, that's amazing.
Taking hold of your dream with your own two hands.
It took a long time to convince my parents.
But Isai-san and another staff member from the production company...
...worked hard to help me convince them.
That means they have really high hopes for you, doesn't it?
It's not as big a deal as you think.
You must be happy, knowing what you want to do in life.
What about you, Seto-kun?
Why did you decide to go for Takashiki University?
What? Well, that is to say...
Actually, I-
What?
Hey, look! That movie...
That movie's being shown in theatres now...
Is Itsuki-chan on the staff, by any chance?
What? How did you know that?
Am I right?
A magazine article I read mentioned a Japanese teen girl...
...who worked on the movie as an SF sculpture artist.
I see. So it really was Itsuki-chan.
That's amazing!
Hey, have you seen the movie yet?
No, I've been studying for the entrance exam.
That's no good! You should see the movie.
Hey, Yoshizuki-
Hey, why don't we go and see it right now?
It's already closed.
That's not what I meant.
Take a picture in front of a theatre, and e-mail it to her.
I'll help you.
No, don't worry about it.
Why not? Itsuki-chan will be happy if you do.
I said you don't need to!
I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?
No, it's not that.
"This is an order! Hurry up and make Iori-san yours."
I made a promise to Itsuki.
A promise?
Yoshizuki, I...
Just a second.
Hello.
Oh, good evening.
Now?
I'm in Shibuya.
What? Right now?
Isai-san recommended me?
I understand. I'll be there as soon as possible.
What's up?
That was the production agency.
They want me to come to an audition for a TV commercial right away.
What? Right now?
The person who was supposed to attend the audition cancelled.
And Isai-san said I should try out in their place.
Are you all right? Do you want me to come with you?
I couldn't ask you to do that.
Don't worry about me. Okay?
How long does the audition take?
I don't know.
Sorry, I'm sure you're very nervous right now.
Is this how it's going to end?
Thanks for coming all the way here with me.
Well, I better go now.
Yoshizuki...
I'll wait for you at the coffee shop until you finish the audition.
I can't let you do something like that.
Besides, I don't even know when I'll be finished.
It doesn't matter how long it takes.
Seto-kun?
Anyway, I'll be waiting.
Iori-chan.
Everybody's waiting for you. Hurry up.
Oh, yes.
Have you been drinking?
I'm sorry. Just a little.
I suppose it can't be helped.
Well, just do your best. This will be a good experience for you.
Yes.
Are you her boyfriend or something?
Uh... no. Not really.
That girl is a golden egg to us, you see.
Don't lay your hands on her.
Thank you for accompanying her here.
For today, take this and go home.
No, thank you.
And besides, I promised to wait for her.
I don't know what time the audition will end.
I don't mind.
We will take her home.
Our agency has the responsibility for that.
I'll tell her you had already gone home.
But!
You're just wasting your time. Hurry on home.
I guess she's not coming.
Looking back on the past two years...
I had so many chances to let her know how I felt.
But I didn't have the courage...
...and couldn't do it...
Rather than the miracle of Christmas Eve,
It's more like my punishment, I guess.
Tonight is Christmas Eve!
A miracle's sure to happen!
It must be the end for me if I'm relying on your words like this.
Seto-kun!
Yoshizuki? Why are you here?
I couldn't help but think, "What if Seto-kun was still waiting for me?"
What about the people from your agency?
Don't worry.
I made some up and slipped out.
Oh yeah, this.
What?
Could you give this back to that manager person?
Okay.
Hey, Seto-kun, do you still have some time?
Yes.
Come with me.
There's something I want you to see.
There she is.
I'd better tell her to cut ties with that boy.
Don't worry. It's just a matter of time.
Soon, the entire country will know who she is.
Then, she'll realise her own potential.
Yoshizuki, where are you taking me?
Just come with me quickly.
It's beautiful!
I wonder what it feels like...
What?
To spend Christmas with the one you love...
I wonder what that's like.
Hey, does Teratani-kun have someone he likes?
Who knows?
I don't think there's anyone at the moment, but...
...we really haven't talked about that kind of stuff lately.
He's got such a poker face...
He'd probably act normally, even in front of the person he likes.
Maybe.
I wish he was easy to read, like you are.
What do you mean I'm easy to read?
It's easy to see, when I look at you.
I can tell who you like.
Yuka's the only one who thinks otherwise.
She thinks you like me.
Funny, isn't it?
Don't worry. I know who you really like.
The one you really like is Itsuki-chan.
I know that.
Oh, I'm sorry. It's none of my business.
Yoshizuki, are you still drunk?
Huh? Was I that drunk before?
What? Don't you remember?
You were ranting on and...
Oh, no! Really?
I'm not sure exactly.
But you were so persistent. Going on like "Do you want to hear who I like?"
"He's so totally cool, sweet, and very funny," and so on.
Liar.
No matter how drunk I was, I'd never brag like that.
Why?
I'm sure he doesn't like me back.
I see. There is somebody you like.
Yes.
It's a KO before I'm even in the ring, huh?
Nothing.
It's that late already?
Let's get going!
Yes.
Sorry for dragging you all over the place.
That's all right. I'll walk with you to the station.
It's fine! You don't have to go that far.
We're taking the same train anyway.
Oh, that's right.
Yoshizuki!
Listen to me.
Actually...
Actually, I-
It's Yuka.
Hi, how did it go?
Uh...
Hello, Yuka? What's wrong?
Yuka?
Iori...
What's wrong?
Seto-kun, when you see Teratani,
tell him to drop dead!
Did he reject you?
Why?!
I don't know!
He just told me that he can't have a relationship with me.
But, I don't think he has someone who he likes.
Seto-kun...
I'm sorry, but let's call it a day.
I'll take Yuka home.
It's fine Iori. I'd feel bad to Seto-kun, then.
But...
I didn't mean to call you for this.
I'm all right. I can go back by myself.
Don't say something sad like that!
You shouldn't say things like that.
We're friends, aren't we?
I'll find out what's going on.
I'll find out why he rejected Morisaki.
You want to know why as well, don't you?
Seto-kun...
The number you are trying to reach is currently out of service range,
or is switched off and cannot be reached.
Yuka...
Teratani!
Huh, Ichitaka?
Man, that hurts...
I never thought you'd hit me.
Why did you reject Morisaki?
Why couldn't you accept her feelings?
She was serious about you!
It's because she was serious that I couldn't accept her.
Now we're even.
Teratani?
Morisaki's serious about her feelings for me...
...but I only see her as a friend.
If I just went for it,
it might end up hurting her more.
Anyhow, if you have time to stick your nose into someone else's relationship,
why don't you take care of your own?
No... it's no good.
I just don't think it's possible...
So many things got in the way.
Fate's giving me a sign.
Higashi Matsubara
Train approaching. Please stay behind the white line.
Thank you for everything today, both of you.
It's all right.
Good night.
That Teratani... He could have at least shown her a good time for tonight.
I'm sure that was Teratani-kun's way of trying to be as sincere as possible.
I know that, but...
Things didn't go as we hoped for, huh?
I thought we'd planned it out well.
But if a relationship could be handled that easily,
no one would suffer from love.
Reality's tough.
In the end, I didn't get to confess either.
Who were you planning to confess to?
To you.
Next stop is Meidaimae. Meidaimae.
No way...
Not even a single word?
I thought it was just a one-sided crush...
The worn-out diary
kyoushitsu no katasumi ni okiwasureta
教室のかたすみに 置き忘れた
I left behind in a corner of the classroom
tsukai furushi no nikkichou
使い古しの 日記帳
I closed it softly. I hold this throbbing in my heart
sotto shimatta kono mune no tokimeki
そっとしまった この胸のときめき
In both hands and warm it up
ryoute ni daite atatameteru
両手に抱いて 暖めてる
Since that day I met you by chance,
anata ni deatta hi kara
あなたに出会った日から
I've grown small wings
chiisa na tsubasa ga haete kita no
小さな翼が生えて来たの
I felt your kind gaze,
yasashii manazashi kanjite
優しいまなざし感じて
And even now I have a feeling I could fly into the sky
ima ni mo sora ga tobesou na ki ga suru
今にも空が飛べそうな気がする
Staring eyes and eyes
mitsumeru me to me
見つめる目と目
I have my eyes for you
