People, at times when everything goes wrong,
they look for a reason for living.
Situation and timing,
Divine intervention and luck,
these bring out many good circumstances which comfort oneself.
Though it is unexpected,
if you can change it one more time,
if you can change it, will it really turn out well?
If it can't be done the first time,
for one to do it the second time,
where will the confidence come from?
His name is Iwase Ken.
Now
this man's true merit will be tested.
By graduating from the relationship they have as childhood friends,
and by facing her properly, if he can't do this,
the future, among other things, can never be changed.
And,
will happiness ever come to visit this man?
First Year of University, Spring
For trying to playfully kiss Rei,
I was slapped with all her might.
In the end, when was Rei's first kiss?
What?
Oh! If you still haven't,
I'll do it.
No way!
Ouch!
At this time,
I still saw Rei as nothing more than a childhood friend.
More than that,
maybe I was only afraid,
to see her as a woman.
That was really something, the slap at that time.
Hmm?
I thought, whoever goes out with this person,
will have such a hard time.
You really thought it'd be that terrible?
Yeah.
Well, sitting here like this,
never occurred to me at that time.
Just as you said, it's the same for me.
The uncomfortable mood that flowed between Rei and I...
I thought of changing it to a lighter mood...
As a result,
Rei got thoroughly upset.
Because I...
am truly the worst.
Even though this is so cruel,
it is natural to have come to this.
I guess I want to change it...
Go back to that time,
and change it one more time.
Go back once more,
this time,
properly this time,
I will confess my feelings.
I'm so glad!
You thought I won't come out anymore?
Well, because you said I'd be graduating from this time slip thing,
I thought you won't come out anymore.
Then,
I won't come out anymore,
so just continue on enjoying the recept--
Please don't say that! I beg you!
First kiss, huh?
The taste of the first kiss,
do you remember it?
Maybe.
Maybe?
It was hamburger, I think.
Hamburger?
We ate hamburgers together,
and then after that...
The one who you shared your first kiss,
was not her, huh?
During our second year in university,
I met someone on my part-time job.
In the first place,
why is it that you would think of having
your first kiss by way of a restaurant?
How desperate, right? Seriously...
That desperation!
Why didn't you use that towards her?
Didn't I say that?
What are you going to do when you go back this time?
I was thinking of confessing properly.
Do you think she'll take you seriously?
What?
With the two of you,
considering what has accumulated since your grade school days,
by trying to destroy your childhood relationship,
it is not as simple as that!
But if I don't do that, then I'm going to regret it the rest of my life.
Is this the delicious taste of a first kiss?
Somehow, it shines, right?
I should be saying that!
Then it's not ok for you to eat!
Well anyway, eat anything you like.
Ask, and it shall be given.
Okay.
Hallelujah... Chance!
NOOOOO!!!
DOOOOOHH!!!
NOOOOO!!!
DOOOOOHH!!!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Ouch!
Hey, hey, hey! Don't get left behind...
Ow...
Toda?!
Russian Game Today
July 9, 2002
Japan-Korea World Cup?
What's with you?
You're still asleep?
Hey, if you're still asleep,
I'll beat you up!
Uwah!...
Hey Ken...
Go and get that sake bottle for me.
Anyway,
May I know who you are?
Huh?
You can see it clearly, right?
I'm Beckham!
BECKHAM!
Beckham?!

Minomoto was great wasn't he?
Tsuichi Minomoto? - im not sure if they'r referring to him
Actually, I thought
that Japan won't win over Russia.
Who's Minomoto?
Eh?!
You didn't watch the World Cup yesterday?!
Japan's team won over Russia!
Ah...
It's soccer.
Is there something wrong with you?
With the World Cup, it's normally about,
volleyball, right? See?
That's not normal at all.
Should I have gone to Ken's place too?
Yesterday's group date was an utter waste!
Isn't it supposed too be like that?
Guys who go out on a day when there's a Japan match feel like they're a bit special!
Oh!
Which reminds me, what happened to your grandfather?
He came to visit, right?
Ah...
Yeah.
To Kenzou,
Please properly tell Jii-chan to go home.
-- Rei
Rei's grandpa?
You really don't remember...
Cause grandpa was so stubborn, Rei told him to go home,
but he didn't listen and kept on staying.
All right! Let's go to your univeristy.
Umm... I think it's best for you to go home...
Yeah... Let's just do this again next time.
If you say next time, you're stupid! If you put it off for tomorrow, you're stupid!
If you don't remember that, everything you do will be useless!
Until the image of those college girls are in my heart, I won't leave!
What a determination...
Then, the student's...
My grandpa really doesn't think of a persons schedule or situation...
Yesterday, he just suddenly decided to ride on the train and came here!
And he comes empty-handed from Hiroshima!
I can't believe him...
Wouldn't it be nice if you too got a bit of that
What?
Your lovelife is ALWAYS just passive!
And you've never faced up to it on your own, right?
To jump into an express train,
and get forced out in the middle, at least I think I'm not like someone I know!
I'm not bothering anyone so that's ok!
Really now?
When then?
At midnight, you called me to a family restaurant!
and at midnight, you called me to a family restaurant!
At midnight, you called me to a family restaurant!
I'll be careful then!
Teacher!
Yes?
Ah! Isn't that?!
What is Id's pleasure principles?
Teacher Itoh!
What the heck is that?
Tonight's dinner, um...
What would be good?
Pepperoni's good...
His finger is twirling her hair...
He's twirling her hair like pasta!
I'd expect that it's al dente...
It does seem like it's al dente...
You're kidding me, right?
His face looks annoyed right now!
Gee, what is he thinking?!
Ah... I want a kiss too!
You kissed me earlier!
Tsuru! Tsuru!
Hey...
What are you doing?
Good morning...
Don't "What are you doing?" me!
Huh?
Don't treat a kiss lightly!
Have you ever considered the feelings of the people who can't do that?!
I thought that was ok with you too...
It irritates me because I haven't done it yet!
You look into her eyes and you slowly get closer,
and after that, you kiss her!
The kiss is just the final result.
Ah... master!
Ah!
Crap!
Gramps isn't here!
N-New student?!
Don't call me "Teacher" anymore.
You're in the same class.
We're equals... equals.
Suddenly, though you say we're equals,
right?
For the sake of personal growth,
I was thinking of studying again from the start.
But, why Keizai University?
Well, it's meaningless if I'm make them and no one buys them, isn't it!
Well, if you start studying from scratch,
it feels like you've made a mistake...
Huh?
That guy's a college student too?
There's someone who's older than me, huh?
Jii-chan!
Eh?!
Eh?
Why did you come here?
You're going back to Hiroshima today, right?
Uh...
Well, I was wondering as to what sort of place you were studying in was...
There you are!
Hey gramps!
Kenzou!
Why did he follow us here?
I tried to stop him!
You didn't stop him!
These are your clothes aren't they?
Uh... that's right.
Ken told me to come no matter what...
Anyway, jii-chan, please go home.
I bet baa-chan is worried.
When you say that, you're really like your grandmother.
You won't be able to marry a good man!
Even so, just hurry up and go home.
Rei!
Let's go to take a picture together at the Purikura!
Purikura - Photo Booth, literally translated as Print Club.
Purikura?!
This isn't exactly a purikura...
Huh?
Well... anyway...
Let's take one!
(something something) Please sit down.
Smile... smile!
Stay put, okay!
You want me to stay put?!
Ah!
What's that? Amazing!
Huh?
Ah... it's wonderful!
Nevertheless,
Grandpa is really youthful!
That's because he never ever listens.
He's so bothersome.
This time I will definitely show no sympathy!
Sensei...
Yes?
Is it okay to let jii-chan stay here?
Here?
We still have classes after this.
Well, I... don't want to stay at a place like this!
Hey... wait, wait... jii-chan!
Sit here... there you go.
Making models such as these,
and just talking about architecture is what I hate the most!
Way to go gramps!
You're so cool!
People who don't even know the actual area,
and just going with the flow of what's popular and trendy,
can't make anything of worth!
Why did you suddenly become so frank?
Jii-chan's a carpenter.
Ah, so that's why Yoshida-san is interested in architecture too!
This plan here...
did you draw it?
Yes.
Why is it that the living room's huge staircase,
doesn't have even one support beam?!
Well, that's to create the impression of space...
I would never take responsibility for such a poorly made building!
That's right gramps!
That is, if you reinforce the other parts, there won't be any problems.
Can you look at this for a second?
By putting a pillar here--
If a big wind enters there,
the window will get broken!
So, let's meet up at the laboratory after classes?
Okay! Later then.
Ken, that's the wrong way.
Are you a traitor?!
Socrates...
with a beard!
Are you going to turn your back to Literature
and wish to go to Architecture?!
That's right...
Rei's department is different!
Ken, aren't you coming?
Having different classes isn't good...
From now on,
I can't always be by her side!
Excuse me!
Uhm, no matter how, I'd like to have my department changed!
This will decide my life!
This isn't a cabaret...
so I don't think you can have it changed that easily.
What the...?
This old guy is that taxi's...
I want it changed no matter what.
Isn't there a back door way or something?
I think your mistaken in thinking that anyone of the University's staff can do that change.
What?!
Actually, I am not attached to this school, and neither do I have friends.
I was thinking "Should I quit my job?"
Are you nuts?!
Then quit! You!
Eri...
Owww...
I'm sorry... Are you okay?
No I'm not okay...
Uwah... I'm REALLY not okay!
Here it goes!
Thanks.
Oku Eri
I'm Eri.
Oku Eri.
First Year in the Commerce Department.
If it's okay, please call me!
What's the meaning of this?
That girl and I are quite similar.
She's unparalleled in construction!
Is that so?
How did this happen?!
If Rei was a boy,
I would have raised him to become an excellent carpenter!
The atmosphere's really harmonious!
Ah... Iwase-kun.
Would you like one more?
Ah...
That's the first drawing Yoshida-san made for grandpa when she was small.
Grandpa and Yoshida-san are really alike, don't you think?
Huh?
On the outside, you seem headstrong,
but there's a sensitive quality to you.
I think you are quite alike.
Idiot...
What would you know?
Sorry...
That girl,
she will never show her weakness to others.
Always enduring it alone, she always looks for the answers herself.
Come to think of it, I always have so MANY MANY things coming outta my mouth!
We're so not similar!
Hey, Ken!
I've decided just now.
Rei's husband...
will be him!
NO WAY!
His face looks compatible with hers...
And he's a guy who can make a stable house.
If they fight, no matter how angry Rei is, he'll stand it out!
What the...?
Me?
Hey, Ken!
Jii-channnn...
You didn't say anything unnecessary, right?
Uh... yeah, yeah... I didn't say anything.
Tada-sensei, is this true?
Uh... yes.
I've also heard something about who was Yoshida-san's partner in her first kiss...
Bribing him to tell you who Rei's first kiss was, you're so desperate, aren't you?!
Shut up!
What's more, the guy was her grandfather!
Stop saying that that was my first kiss!
No, no! That's an arguable kiss!
On the day you were born, on those lips,
I gave you a warm kiss!
That's gross!
Yes?
Hey... whom do you think was Rei's real first kiss?
I haven't heard it yet.
I want to know!
Okay, okay... I'm gonna give it to him now.
Jii-chan, it's baa-chan.
Hello?
I got it.
I love you.
EHHHH?!!!
Is there a problem?!
No...
If you're thinking of something good to say, say it!
You're mistaken if you're thinking of not saying it!
Hey, manager!
Yes?
Hey... Jii-chan!
Crap...
He's really mad!
Poor manager...
This is delicious.
EHHHH?!!!
Kenzou...
Your class is already finished right?
Let grandpa change his clothes and wait in your room,
'cause then after my class, I'll go meet up with you.
Huh?
I'll leave it up to you.
Hey, see you later okay?
Yeah!
Hey, let's watch the World Cup again today!
Ah... I'll go too.
Well then... I'll go too...
Today, our volley team has a conference but, if it's okay, please reply. --Volleyball Guy
YESSS!!!
Yay!
What happened?
A message from my destined volleyball guy came!
What?! I'll never allow that!
Give it!
Does it look strange?
No...
I think its creative and interesting.
It's just that...
Strictly speaking, when this is actually built, I think it will become very difficult to do so.
You truly think so?
Huh?
Exactly because we who aren't on the worksite decide that it cannot be done--
--decide that it cannot be done,
that the workers are not trained well,
and past techniques are slowly obsoleted.
Ah, a while ago, grandpa said the same thing.
Before,
that "the blueprint is our love letter to the workers."
We want to give a blue print which will capture the hearts of people.
Everytime I design one, I remember those words.
Surely, ever since you were little, you always admired your grandpa, didn't you?
Eh, well not particularly...
He cherished what you gave him.
The present that you gave him when you were young,
was a drawing of you grandfather as a carpenter.
All right... I'm going home.
Huh?
But Rei's gonna come and meet us.
Since grandma is waiting,
if I don't go home soon,
grandma, can't continue living without me.
Well, I don't thing that's the case.
I'll say this,
Before it finally ends for me, I won't give Rei to you.
Eh?
I can see through you.
Why aren't you being more positive?
Are you worried about me?
No, that's not the reason, but...
You will regret it, you know...
If you keep on thinking that tomorrow's always gonna come, then you'll always be in pain.
If you put things for tomorrow, you're stupid!
Oh...
Huh? Are you alone?
Oh, grandpa went home alone.
Ah... okay.
Where's everyone?
Oh, they went to borrow a hotplate,
and we're in charge of the groceries.
Well then... Let's go.
Hey!
Hmm?
What the heck is this?
Look at it and you'll know!
Hanpen!
Hanpen - is a white, triangular shaped seafood product with a soft, mild taste.
What's that?
Isn't it obvious that you put it in the okonomiyaki?
We don't need this.
AH!... Hey...
Then, what's this natto for?
Natto - is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, popular especially at breakfast.
This is really delicious!
For real, for real...
We don't need it either just because it's delicious.
You'll see you've been deceived once you eat it!
I don't want to be deceived any further!
When were you deceived?!
If I put soy sauce into tea,
it becomes sauce for noodles!
And if i combine yogurt and miso,
it will become sea urchin!
Sea urchin - the Japanese usually use this for making sushi.
But this time it's really, really, really delicious!
Well, last time, that's exactly what you said too!
How annoying...
I might be happier not being married, after all...
What's this study about?
It's about pathology.
Oh...
I have met with my destined guy!
Somehow, I feel like looking up to him.
Being so tall, how can one be that cool?
That meeting with your destined guy,
Yup.
It feels like the will of God is hurriedly ripping!
Well, you said that before!
This time, this meeting is different!
Furthermore, (something)
Hey, sensei...
Yes?
You know, medicine,
is incredibly advanced, you know,
but why is it that a person's height cannot be increased?
Personally, I like short people.
SHUT UP! I don't want to hear that!
I'm sorry...
I just wanted to comfort you.
What comfort are you saying?!
So...
How are things with you and your girlfriend?
What do you mean? It's just normal...
Oi!
Hey you! What's with the morning action?! And you were twirling her hair!
What part of that is normal?!
Well then,
about how many times do you meet in a week?
We're living together.
EHHHHH?!!!
Live-in...
One is part of dosei,
is similar to dotei.
Dosei means, live-in, dotei means virgin. It's a play on words.
Just one syllable is different, byt why is the meaning THAT different?!
Ah... How pitiful.
Basing on appearance, you really won't know.
SHUT UP!
I'd like to smoke a cig...
My height might not increase, so I won't...
I wanna smoke a cig!
Ah...
I knew it!
Did I tell you already?
That's my favorite, you know!
I was first, wasn't I?
Return that one.
Having two is ok...
Hurry up and put it in.
Yeah...
Just one? How sneaky...
Delicious!
We're back...
Thanks for everything since yesterday.
Huh?
About Grandpa.
Oh...
You know, Grandpa speaks highly of you.
"He's a good guy"...
Is that so...
Is this possibly?
My life's best chance?
Ah...
Jii-chan forgot the pictures.
The Purikura?
Yup... that one.
Well, next time then! Next time...
Tamagoyaki!
Tamagoyaki - Japanese style egg roll.
Grandpa's tamagoyaki is sooo delicious!
I never eat another's cooking, but,
but Grandma's tamagoyaki is better.
Really?
Does it taste good?
Well then...
When I was little,
I always say that my tamagoyaki is so delicious,
that until now, when I go home,
he makes this much tamagoyaki waiting for me!
Let's get ready?
Okay.
I think everyone's coming home soon.
For New Year's,
come home to visit.
The most important thing is always forgotten.
Grandpa...
never came back to visit Tokyo.
And...
Rei never got the chance again,
to give him the pictures.
Rei's grandpa,
passed away this year.
If you don't remember that, everything you do will be useless!
You're mistaken if you're thinking of not saying it!
If you put it off for tomorrow, then you're stupid!
Rei...
Huh?
The picture...
Rei, I want to give the photos to grandpa.
It's ok. There's next time.
Not next time, I want to give it today.
Huh?
Well, he already went home.
I can still catch up in time.
What so suddenly got into you?
Hey. Lets go? To where Grandpa is.
I said it's okay.
We'll still meet up on New Year's anyway.
Don't think that there will still be a time when you can do that!
Everytime you think that he's just near you,
Trying to procrastinate is useless!
You can always go see him,
When you miss him, you can always go see him.
But you should properly say that you think the tamagoyaki is delicious.
I've experience something just like this with grandpa.
So you'll be regretful, just like me.
If you put things off for tomorrow, you're stupid!
Grandpa's words...
made my regrets towards Rei...
whisper continuously through my heart.
Kenzo!
This way!
Until Hiroshima.
Rei was always by my side.
Her being so close was natural.
I thought that I could always,
confess to her at anytime.
Though she's always been by my side like this,
I couldn't do anything.
Though she's always been by my side like this,
I didn't know anything.
Rei!
That she would be in a place where my hand couldn't reach her,
was something I never thought about.
I don't want Rei to have the same memory.
In remember that memory,
It's enough that I alone do...
There he is!
Jii-jii!
JII-JII!
Here.
The purikura.
It turned out well, didn't it?
Don't tell me, you came here especially to deliver this?
Don't say that!
Didn't I tell you, next time would've been ok!
Well then, I'm off.
Okay.
Hey... say it!
Jii-jii...
The tamagoyaki...
was delicious.
Of course.
Hey, Ken.
I'll leave Rei up to you.
Huh?
I think a guy like you would be good for my lineage.
Stop saying such stupid things! Hurry and go home!
You're really like your grandmother.
I'm glad I didnt take after you!
You too really have no gentleness in the most important place.
Kinda like someone, right?
See you.
REI!
WHAT IS IT?
I LOVE YOU!
Next to Granny of course...
Geez... This is embarrassing.
The house for an important person Designer: Yoshida Rei
Hey, Keeen!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Huh?
Ojamashimasu!
Ojamashimasu - greeting used when going in someone's home.
Ken... Hey!
Ken's not here.
Ahhh... I'm starving!
Uhm... Well...
What's wrong?
I guess... Am I not interferring?
Why? Let's watch the World Cup together!
That's right!
Since you were coming, we prepared a lot!
That's right! Hurry, hurry!
Ojamashimasu.
What's with the "jii-jii" earlier?
Eh?
I used to call him that when I was little.
With Grandpa,
the first word that I was able to say was jiji, no matter what.
That's because he has always been with me ever since I was about a month old.
Amazing, I guess the guy who I thought was your first kiss was different.
Like I said, that first kiss doesn't count!
Then...
... when was it?
Huh?
As I thought... You don't remember at all, Kenzou.
Eh?!
It was YOU.
Me?
During the sportsfest when we were in grade school!
We stumbled in the three-legged race, and we got messed up in all the confusion!
Geez... you're terrible.
And you took my first kiss.
A first kiss like that doesn't count.
Why do you selfishly decide that it doesn't?
You dont have a right to say that about something you don't even remember!
You really remember nothing of your true feelings then!
You only remember stupid things.
That last year's Pacific League batter,
Fukura, graduated from Narashi High,
and Hanshin's Omari who won the best batter award,
entered a team in New York.
Now,
is the first time.
It's unfair that I'm the only one who doesn't remember.
Hey... WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR'E DOING?
Ow...
You don't have to slap...
You don't have to slap me TWICE!
That one was for Grandpa.
GOAL!!!
Yes...
GOAL!!!
Perfect!
Hey Mikio, look!
You're timing's excellent!
You're late! What were you doing?!
Ojamashite imasu.
What are you doing?!
"What are we doing?", it's okonomiyaki.
You don't know anything... you don't know at all!
That was supposed to be the HIROSHIMA okonomiyaki!
That's right!
Well, the Osaka one's good too.
Yeah, the Osaka one's the one I love!
We love it!
What a waste...
That's because I can't eat something I don't know the taste of!
Right?
I can't believe this...
I should be saying that!
Either one's okay anyway.
It's not!
Okay... Here we go.
Osaka is the best!
Hiroshima is the best!
Hiroshima...
Osaka...
Even the kiss didn't work...
What else is gonna work?!
The first kiss' taste changed from hamburger to tamagoyaki.
That's not the point of this...
Just like that kiss, your attitude is totally different from the personality you've shown me until now.
I must say, it is certainly an improvement.
More than what it was before you timeslipped,
your status in her heart is certainly getting bigger too!
Is that really true?
Then why is it that nothing changed?
The unfortunate thing is,
after the time you came back from your time slip,
the past you reverted back just like the way you were at the time when you tried to playfully kiss her.
She considered this kiss now as not serious,
and we can't put blame on that.
One more thing.
There's a bigger, more depressing development.
What?
Well, for the next one,
listen to what this emcee says...
What the...?
It disappeared.
Thank you for waiting!
From this point on,
it'll be mostly the pictures of the couple!
Year 2003 A.D.
Rei, in the fall of her second year in university.
For Rei-san's birthday,
the distance between the two is slowly closing in.
Why did you suddenly skip?!
We had took many photos during first year right?!
Why're you so suddenly excited?
You've got to be kidding...
