At least realise before you get on the bus.
It's too late to say "Oh no, I forgot something!" after you're on.
I'm sorry.
My friend Kazama...
... likes cute girls.
I, Murasame Sumika...
... for a long time, have...
itsuka kimi to miageta sora wa
いつか君と見上げた空は
The sky that we gazed at the other day,
kokoro no naka sotto toketeiku
心の中 そっと溶けていく
quietly, into my heart, it melted away.
shiroi nooto ni kaita tegami wa
白いノートに書いた手紙は
The white note paper, where I wrote the letter,
yukusaki o tsugenai mama tojikometa
行く先を告げないまま閉じ込めた
is gone, and without telling you, has been locked away.
kotoba ni sureba modorenai kara
言葉にすれば戻れないから
If I were to tell you, then we cannot go back.
itsumo kimi to miageta sora wa
いつも君と見上げた空は
The sky that we've always gazed at;
kanashii kurai aoku sukitootteita
悲しいくらい青く透きとおっていた
so sad, so blue, so clear.
Ah, Tomoe-chan?
What happened?
Nothing.
Let's go home, Miyako.
I want to kiss a cute girl, too.
Again?
Yeah...
Oh, where are you?
The cute girl who will weave a beautiful tale of love with me.
Why don't you put up a flag, ring bells, and bang drums?
Oh, you're so mean. That'll make me look like a weird person.
By the way Ushio-chan, when was your first kiss?
Me? Oh, Kiyori-chan.
Don't ask weird questions.
Oh, come on!
All you do is go on about weird things.
That is true but...
So? Was it with a girl?
Not yet.
Oh!
So cute!
That's why I'm worried.
It's a once in a lifetime thing.
I want to make it a wonderful memory.
But, I might make a mistake at the wrong moment.
Ah, yes yes.
Me, too. Before the performance for the brass band...
... I always worry about making mistakes.
Well, it all depends how much you practise though.
That's it!
What?
It's all about practice!
To be prepared, I should practise for my first kiss.
That won't work!
Even if it's just for practice, it will become my first kiss.
What's that about kissing, Kazama?
Nothing.
Sit down.
Continue, Akemiya.
Yes!
Translate the rest.
You can do it, good luck!
Bob always gets the shorter end of the stick.
His seriousness, oftentimes, is fruitless.
He has a secret way of relieving his stress...
Oh well...
The tension will continue for a while again.
But...
... who were they?
Are both of them in our class?
Someday, I will also...
I'm sorry.
I was being selfish.
I didn't realise your feelings, Sumi-chan.
It's alright, Kazama.
It's my fault, too, for not telling you.
Sumi-chan.
Kazama.
Even if it's just for practice...
... I wouldn't mind.
Hey, Kazama.
Everyone's watching. Stop it.
I'm sorry!
Be careful!
Hey, Kiyori-chan...
... would you like to wear a mask-
I'll politely refuse!
Ask Murasame-san.
Oh, not with Sumi-chan.
She's much taller than me.
I can't get in the mood.
How about that model?
Akemi-chan?
You became friends, right?
How wonderful would it be if it was Akemi-chan...
I gave her my number, but she never replied.
She must be busy working. She's popular.
You'll meet her again. She lives nearby.
Right, Kiyori-chan?
Um, I only heard it from the upperclassmen.
I haven't even met her.
That's right.
My first kiss could be with Akemi-chan.
I'll need to practice it properly.
There's only one first kiss.
Of course.
Hey, Sumi-chan...
... can I borrow the keys to the chemistry lab after school?
Well, if you have a reason.
But why?
This... what do you want to do with it?
Carry it... to the classroom.
It's the perfect size to practice on.
The classroom, bathed in the light of the setting sun,
The silhouette of the two lovers glimmering in the golden light...
The two eventually merge into one, brightly colouring their youth...
Becoming an eternal monument!
You'll settle for anything if it's the right height?
Anyway, you can't take it out.
If it were me...
... a first kiss in itself...
... would become a beautiful memory for life.
Even if it's not perfect...
... even if you make a mistake...
... if you can do it with the one you love...
... that's all that matters...
Sumi... -chan?
Murasame-san!
The teacher was calling for you.
Oh, OK.
See ya, Kazama.
Did I do something wrong?
Murasame-san?
Ah, I wanna kiss.
If it's alright with you, I'll do it!
Sumika has returned to the dojo?!
Oh, master.
She dropped in suddenly a while ago.
What a wonderful strike!
She's full of spirit.
Trained in martial arts from a young age.
I had hoped that she would succeed me one day.
Why are you quitting karate, Sumika?
It's not cute!
A year since then.
The passion of martial arts has quietly continued to burn inside you.
That THING is OK, and I'm not good enough.
Kazama... isn't thinking about me.
Good morning, Sumi-chan.
Good morning.
Hey Sumi-chan. Are you free today after school?
Yeah.
Then promise me...
Wait in the classroom... say, about 5:30 PM.
It's a nice day today.
The sunset will definitely be beautiful.
Sunset?
Could it be?
Could it be?!
I'm sorry that you had to wait.
No, not at all.
Sumi-chan.
Chesto!
That's a tansu-cabinet.
A tansu-cabinet is a chest in Japanese.
Any other questions?
None.
The same thing happened again.
Is it popular in this class?
Alright then, continue with the rest, Akemiya.
Could it... be?
Kazama...
... doesn't have any feelings for me.
She doesn't have...
... any feelings for me.
Thanks for waiting, Sumi-chan.
Kazama...
I'm glad it's sunny.
I was worried when it was cloudy during noon.
As I thought, the sunset is crucial.
I'm sorry for being selfish.
I didn't realise your feelings, Sumi-chan.
Yes!
I didn't realise you had someone in mind.
I'm such a bad friend.
We're always together...
... but I realised from yesterday's conversation.
Good luck. You have my full support.
So...
... today is Sumi-chan's first kiss lesson.
Sumi-chan...
... your lips... here.
Sumi-chan, you're taller than the boys.
You're fine doing it on me, right?
Kazama...
You say you don't mind making a mistake...
... but it's only once in a lifetime.
There's no harm in being prepared.
I'm always troubling you, Sumi-chan.
That's why, once in a while, I want to help you.
Here...
Come.
Sumi-chan.
Thank you.
Seems like there's someone else, Tomoe-chan.
Those two are also... huh?

分け合って泣いて笑ったね
We cried and laughed together,
issho da yo chigatta michi no ue demo
一緒だよ 違った道の上でも
even if we walk on separate paths.
Anyway, that's your misunderstanding, Kazama.
I... don't have any boy in mind.
I can't say no...
... no, just talking to myself.
I'll give it back to you tomorrow.
See ya. Good night.
Sumika-san... is everything OK with her?
A teenage girl is difficult...
Next time: "4+1"
It's the preview.
Right.
It's you guys...
We are the main characters next time.
That's right!
But you're not the main character.
Well then, I'll delegate you as the director of the women's department.
I don't want that.
You're such a shy girl.
Who cares. Alright, see you next week.
