Have a seat.
My name is Nozomi Yuuku
I work for Hakkaido-Radio-Events.
Sorry to cal l you out.
Good afternoon.
lced coffee, please.
To tel l the truth -
l'm looking for Shintani Ryuuji.
There wi l l be a l ive event at Tokyo Radio Station.
And l would truly l ike him to return for this.
A lot has happened -
- so please take your time.
He has been in your band before,
as a guitarist of Survival Company?
l wonder if you would know anything...
After that incident happened,
he suddenly disappeared, didn't he?
When they played at Hokkaido
l was there, too.
Soon after this Furacha was disbanded, right?
Didn't he join a new band again later?
l also don't know..
Wel l...
You don't l ike to remember
you and Shintani Ryuuji's Sabakan.
l see.
Uh, so -
Just take your time..
..tomorrow..
..Sabakan plays l ive, right?
l'l l come to watch.
l'm also a fan of Sabakan.
Your iced coffee.
That very first dream you ever had..
..do you sti l l..
..remember?
SABAKAN - GO!
Sabakan - GO!
We are Survival-Company. Hel lo Everyone!
A lot of fans here.
uh.
That very first dream you ever had..
..do you sti l l..
..remember?
My hometown Kouchi is so smal l,
you can't even have a dream.
Whatever would happen, l was bound for Tokyo.
A place crowded with people wherever you go.
Coming to Tokyo..
..l thought my l ife was waiting for me here.
Since l was twenty..
..l thought of this as my destiny.
Wada-san,..
..isn't it time already..
..they played on a bigger stage?
lt's sti l l too fast, don't you think?
They might not be confident..
.. let them grow a l ittle more.
Looking for a job l soon started in this bar.
l joined a band.
We are sti l l playing in a smal l house -
Cheers!
.. but many people come. - And l've made good friends.
lt wasn't real ly a fairy-tale,
but nothing bad happened.
l real ly was happy.
Now..
..and from here starts..
our fashion-conscious l iquor-store "Yume No Kura"..
..chief's ceremony.
Old boss Sasagawa Kazuo..
..New boss Sasagawa Keitaro..
..cheer's to them!
Cheers!
Thanks, everybody.
Do your best!
lt wi l l be hard, l think. But
there's one thing:
To become a good couple,
you have to adjust to each other.
That's so lame.
lsn't it real ly?
lf l had known about the trouble before,
l wouldn't have married him.
Ryoko-chan, think about it - whi le you sti l l can!
Think about it...
Wel l, but l think you wi l l be okay, right?
Do your best.
l wi l l.
Hang in there...
Where's Hirono-chan?
l haven't seen her lately.
Lately, she's taking a lot of breaks.
- Ryoko - you had no contact? - Nope.
Aren't you worried?
Of course l'm a bit worried.
Just give her a cal l !
l'm not a stalker!
Worrying might not be necessary.
lf your so worried about Hirono..
..just cal l her yourself.
That's it.
Women are so cold...
Their feel ings are so superficial..
..worrying theirselves is so troublesome..
..so you have to worry for them!
You're right!
That's what girls are...
Hel lo! Here's the fashion-conscious l iquorshop "Yume No Kura" in Shimokitazawa.
Hel lo?
What?
Hirono!
Hirono, are you there?
Are you real ly acquainted?
Lately there are so many crooks.
That's true.
Hurry up, we're real ly her friends!
Hirono - are you okay?
l'm getting an ambulance.
l...
What happened?
l don't want to die.
l'm not ready to die yet.
What are you babbl ing?
He's cal l ing an ambulance..
..it'l l be here soon.
l..
..don't want to die yet!
HlRONO!
l'm sure it's malnutrition.
She's anemic because she didn't eat.
With rest and food she'l l be okay.
Looks l ike she hungered too much.
Because of hunger?
Anemia?
No fever, that's okay.
Hope you feel better soon!
That ltal ian food is real ly great!
You tried to attempt suicide by starvation?
Aren't you embarrassed at al l?
But..
..l was afraid he would leave me..
..so l thought..
..if l wouldn't eat for 1 00 hours..
..he might return and see his mistake.
Kid!
No wonder the guys are dumping you...
Senpai hasn't come back yet?
lf it doesn't work out, you could come to me.
You have no intention of going back, right?
He's a fake.
Just because of money..
..he tagged along with Hirono.
That long-yearned-for-senpai.
l knew he was a fai lure..
..right the moment l saw him. He's a gypsy.
What's that?
A gypsy -
- always wandering around.
Like those men in ancient times..
You know,..
..those men just can't stay long at one place..
..whenever..
.. something comes up, they rush off.
They even bel ieve they are great.
But when l think about it now..
.. al l of them let her do the chores.
You say they al l deceived her?
lsn't it obvious? That's Hirono for you.
She always volunteers, right?
lsn't it good we came?
lt was my first time today..
..riding an ambulance!
Eat - come on, eat!
That youngster is scary.
But aren't you too?
lsn't it a time you always keep repeating:
"Men are al l the same"! ? And suddenly getting married soon.
Everyone makes this decision without thinking.
Half of this is your fault.
What's that?
Why is it my fault?
When l wanted to break up with Keitaro..
..it was you giving me a lecture:
One day you wi l l regret this, and l won't l isten to your complaints!
You real ly lectured me.
l did.
And he also doesn't come back...
Oy!
Wada-san. Hel lo!
Let's make your debut!
Don't want to?
No, no, no...
What?
Which is it?
We'l l do it. Let us do it!
That's your budget.
We'l l use it to rent the right place.
The right place?
One
Ten
Hundred
Thousand
Ten thousand
Hundred thousand
637,902 Yen.
That's quite not enough.
We have to promote it as wel l.
ln short: we have to run around..
..and talk to the press.
That'l l make Oyster-Records known, too.
What?
No confidence?
No.
We are confident.
We are.
We a..
..re.
Listen,
We got six songs.
Should we write a new song?
We have to make 6 more songs.
You decided?
For a record you need 1 2 songs.
l see.
1 2 songs?
That's difficult.
Before that - let's re-arrange what we have.
You al l real ize that Ryuuji's guitar-play is missing.
lt's long ago now..
..we should get Rei's songs straight.
That's not it!
Stay cool.
What? lt's your work now - playing guitar!
Right!
Let's re-arrange.
- and a new song?
Ah - let's have ramen!
ls it ramen again?
What is it?
At our wedding l'l l have 33 guests.
This place is the best.
How Pretty!
Look!
What a wonderful wedding-dress.
That's nice!
l'd love to have one l ike this...
Where can we find the wedding-dresses?
lt's over there.
l have no intention of leaving Tokyo.
When l decided to marry
l definitely knew nothing about it
And also
He did it behind my back
l can understand that.
Then...
l was always working hard.
My mother hasnt told me anything since i was l ittle.
Do you think
They can do THlS to me?
l can understand that.
My work, aswel l, He wanted me to quit.
Now He has been laid off instead.
l can't take it anymore[That's the premarital blues!]
Say, Keitaro..
..do you remember when we first met?
eh...
At that time when l was l istening to nobody..
..but Rei and Hirono..
..opened my eyes.
l thought there wouldn't be love for me.
uh...
Don't you remember?
Wel l, l do. l know.
And what about it?
Show me the dresses.
Dress?
Of course!
You can look asmuch as you l ike
..- good l took those pictures -..
.. since we can't afford one.
What?
What about the Wedding-Ceremony?
We'l l have one, won't we?
That's what l mean..
..if we do al l this..
..we'd have to l ive off social welfare.
So for the wedding..
..let's just have a smal l party with friends.
What about the honeymoon?
Where do we go?
You know,..
..since l've become the boss..
l shouldn't abandon the bar.
That's unbel ievable.
That's real ly - unbel ievable!
Why marry then?
The wedding-ceremony
is a must.
The honeymoon is a must.
Hold your horses.
You've also become the boss.
Just wait a l ittle longer.
Oh no!
Wel l,
you should know that.
When we are settled..
..we can sti l l go.
They're from Hokkaido Radio Station:
Nozomi Yuuku and his assistant Kaneko-san.
They've heard you and l ike to talk to you.
They are Sabakan.
Yoroshiku.
Thanks for the last time.
l watched your performance.
Thanks.
Sit down.
What does he mean?
Nothing, real ly.
That means?
That's the tape from Hokkaido. l thought you'd l ike to watch.
Thank you very much.
Menu, please.
You have 30 minutes.
That's about 6 songs.
What wi l l it be?
'Friends' and 'Yumekui'..
Ryuuji's songs might be good.
That's what l thought.
That's great..
..those are my favorites.
lt's decided.
What is it?
You'l l be Sabakan's singer!
Uh?
Why should l be Sabakan's singer?
Because l l ike your voice.
l l ike your voice.
l made it for you..
l was thinking about you, and that wonderful..
..voice of yours, when l made it.
l want to make the lyrics to my music.
You also want to write your own lyrics.
So it's better we are in different bands.
Wait - just...
We better break up.
You're not doing it right!
Please visit our performance.
Welcome home!
Senpai !
You're not coming home for weeks!
l was so lonely!
Sorry.
l was lonely, too.
Real ly?
Real ly!
Real ly real ly?
Real ly real ly real ly!
Truly?
What are you doing?
l had no boyfriend for 3 weeks...
Wel l, uh...
..just.. wait..
STOP
Wel l,
you shouldn't barge in when someone is showering.
l couldn't wait for hours.
Just lock the door then. That's the basics!
And what's the fuzz about?
Hi, princess!
ln their appartment the shower broke down.
Thanks...
You're welcome.
l brought he posters!
Why are you dressed l ike that?
Don't mind!
!!!
Our new play wi l l be out..
on 3rd August we are performing in that famous place!
'Romeo and Little Red Riding Hood', what d'you think?
By the way: WHO ARE YOU?
She?
She's a new member of our group,..
she just joined.
- Yes. - Kennichi's fan also...
What!!
l'm not!
Don't misunderstand!
l'm Ueno. Hi.
Okay already - sit!
Ueno - you real ly annoy me.
Here is your tomato-ramen!
Senpai makes me angry!
Angry - you should have known that!
l knew. But he brought another woman!
That was to be expected, don't you think?
So, where's he now?
Practicing a new act in my room.
lt's cal led 'Romeo And The Red Panties'.
Can l have more?
Hirono-chan that's your 3rd!
Wel l, thanks a lot for your opening-present, but...
Congratulations!
Thanks.
lt's del icious.
Thank you.
But Ryoko-chan..
.. 'Yume No Kura' is doing wel l, right?
lt is.
Why'd you ask?
Wel l. since l know my l ittle brother..
..somehow l'm worried about Keitaro.
You want to come back?
l'm a gypsy.
l l ike wandering around.
l hate that!
Eh?
Always wandering - l hate it!
Come here for a moment!
Wait - Yoshie, you misunderstood...
She's great - Yoshie-san..
When l think about it..
..l'm disappointed in Kennichi.
l should give him a scolding -
- if l only could do that once.
What shal l l do from now on?
l'm also..
..wavering. Should l get married?
Shouldn't l get married? l'm thinking...
What's this? Wasn't that your goal? To get married?
Kid!
What?
lf l was that young,..
.. l could handle wel l both sides:
Becoming the person l want to be.
Finding a great love and a good man.
For the both of you, it turns out good..
..whichever side you choose.
But for me somehow..
..both sides are bound to fai l.
How's Maki-chan doing?
She's studying abroad, together with a man..
who would've thought of that?
Do you remember?
"l don't know what l want to do, but l'm doing it"
Then she drove us to the beach.
That time...
But when l think about it today,
us four girls going there was great!
Those were good times.
But now it seems impossible...
Let's go?
Beach!
Let's go!
Why did you cal l me in the middle of the night?
We ate tomato-ramen, you know.
Tomato-ramen?
What are you talking about...
l l ike the beach.
Senpai is an idiot.
What's that?
You try it, too.
No way.
This feels great.
1 - 2 - shout
l want to stop pondering.
Senpai makes me furious.
l want to make a decision.
That feels good.
l want to see Ryuuji !
ah..
..l'm rel ieved.
l'm back!
Senpai?
(l've found a cheap appartment and moved. Satomi Kennichi)
Gather!

Sakamoto Minoru.
l'm lshikawa.
l'm Sanada Samichi.
And she is our new member...
l'm Hayama Hirono.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome.
She is also a writer.
That's our next play.
lf you have any questions...
Next play?
lt's just a scribbled idea.
Shut up!
What to do..
..we haven't exactly decided yet.
Can't be helped since l'm not good at writing.
Seems lucky you have joined us...
Just have a look first.
Let's start.
-- The Jul iet-Syndrome --
start at no2
Megumi
uh.
l'm in love!
--- l'm in love!
Now the last Jul iet - Hirono...
Yes.
That very first dream you ever had..
l'm in love!
That's that.
We're starting from here.
That's why l cal led you.
So first of al l..
..go in!
Hi !
Here's a l ittle bit...
ls it okay for me to watch?
And right now we are to begin..
the wedding-party for Keitaro-san and Ryoko-san.
l'm your host Nagase Mitsuo. Cheers!
Cheers!
Congratulations!
You're so pretty!
Keitaro-san!
Let's eat!
The preparation is done.
Everybody enjoy!
That's fantastic. Boss, did you prepare that?
l wanted to have a french restaurant in the first place.
Fortune Of The Sea Consomme Jel ly. Lobster Thermidor. Chateaubriand.
Perfect!
What's this?
You can see these at celebrity receptions, right?
You asked for that, didn't you?
Next is the honeymoon.
Are you real ly going?
Of course l am.
lf l don't it would be l ike l didn't get married. lt natural ly comes in a bundle.
But going on a honeymoon by yourself...
You're going alone?
lt can't be helped. He can't take a vacation since he's a bar owner now.
That's true, but...
But New York is dangerous.
lt'l l be fine. Maki's over there.
Talking about that: Maki sent something.
!!! Wow!
Ryoko!
A letter!
Ryoko and Keitaro. Congratulations on your wedding.
Ryoko, l wanted to see you in your wedding dress.
Send me the pictures.
l've gotten used to l iving in New York.
My Engl ish is sti l l poor,
but l'm managing to communicate somehow.
l'm looking forward to seeing you on your honeymoon.
See?
By the way, yesterday..
..l met Ryuuji in the East Vi l lage.
l didn't actual ly meet him, though.
And l lost sight of him quickly.
lf l find out anything else, l'l l contact you.
Today, enjoy yourselves for me too. Bye-bye.
l see..
.. Ryuuji is in New York.
Ryuuji.
Let's not talk about him.
lt's always 'Ryuuji, Ryuuji'.
He left Sabakan because he wanted.
We have nothing to do with him anymore.
Nobody cares where he is.
Sorry you had to meet me here.
l'm sorry l cal led you whi le you are busy.
Thanks for this.
And - Ryuuji is in New York, as l heard.
Since you were looking for him, l wanted to tel l you.
l wasn't real ly looking for him.
l was looking for his band.
That's why l thought of you today.
l guess, Sabakan has become your band.
Can you imagine singing in this place?
Next month in this place..
..l'l l come here with bands from Hokkaido for a concert.
l don't know if you want to participate,
but the real rock-bands are going to play then.
l've never thought about such things.
Lately even lndies -
- l ike you playing just for fun - have become big.
That's not a bad thing.
We've always been supporting smal l groups.
But then..
..l often feel gui lt.
When they final ly come here..
..and see the big stage..
..they are terribly frightened.
They eventual ly quit music.
lt takes a lot of strength to continue from this point.
Are you sure about it?
Good job, everyone.
You pul led it off, again.
Thank you!
Let's start the meeting.
Thanks for coming.
Give this to Maki.
She wanted to see this.
Ticket to New York.
l've changed it to your name.
When you get in trouble, "Easy Engl ish Conversation".
Go after him.
l can't. Right now the band...
Forget them.
Ryuuji..
..he told me he was scared.
More than how big the debut was growing...
He was afraid what would happen to himself if they didn't succeed.
He said he was scared.
lf you don't find him now,..
..he'l l definitely be no good.
But l...
l don't l ike it.
l don't want to look at you, when you come to regret it.
This week wi l l be l ike a strol l.
Starting next week we have to visit FM and the press.
We're preparing a color page article for next month.
- Color? - You're ten years too early for that!
And about the route..
..after Hokkaido let's hit Kyushu.
Kyushu!
l'm..
..going to New York.
New York? That's impossible.now.
l'm going to meet Ryuuji.
What about the band?
Do you abandon them?
l don't.
l'l l return immediately.
Once l've found Ryuuji and given him one sol id punch, l'l l return.
l wi l l definitely be back.
Let's proceed with the meeting...
Wada-san, Shirakawa-san, we're asking you too.
We'l l cover for Rei.
Please. Let her go!
Say, Ryuuji,..
..the very first dream you ever had..
..do you sti l l remember?
Someone do something about him.
Mitsuo - do something about him.
Why me?
lt's always 'Ryuuji', 'Ryuuji'..
..noboby thinks of us..
..l've had it.
ls that so.
l could hit him.
l real ly want to hit him.
He had it always his way.
Since chi ldhood he had it his way.
l'l l go to New York, too.
l'l l go to New York and beat him up!
No time for that, we gotta practice!
Maki-chan!
Rei-chan!
l found you!
Come in.
Have a seat.
That's a wonderful room.
lt's okay, l guess.
Doesn't look l ike an artist's room though.
lt is nice you came over.
Sorry for troubl ing you.
lt is a long ride, isn't it?
You're right.
l was Ryoko-chan expecting, instead you came on the honeymoon.
Everyone is sending greetings.
And then..
about Ryuuji...
We were on our way to a new club..
..that recently opened.
l saw him over there, alone walking across the street.
l couldn't cal l him, but it was Ryuuji for sure.
Here is a place..
..where he might have been.
Many Japanese l ive here.
Excuse me.
Do you know Shintani Ryuuji?
That's him.
Sorry, l've never seen him.
Aren't you hungry?
Let's sit here.
After that we can look at the Live-Houses.
You're right, he might play there.
Here it is.
We can look for him downtown tomorrow.
Since l was 4 l thought l was Jul iet. Going to Disneyland, l felt l ike coming home.
Oy! That was too much. Great, but too much.
Megumi, you're late!
A friend just cal led me..
..from 3rd of August there's one week..
..and we might be able to get the Suzunari-Stage!
Another group cancel led their reservation.
And they are looking for someone to perform then.
You mean Suzunari-Theater near Shimokitazawa Station?
That's quite good luck, isn't it?
So if we want it, we have to deposit 1.000.000Yen unti l tomoroow afternoon.
1.000.000Yen? Then it's impossible.
lt'd be hard enough to raise 1 00.000Yen.
3rd of August?
From 3rd of August for one week?
Our new play wi l l be out..
..on 3rd August we are performing in that famous place!
Let's do it!
l'l l give 300.000Yen.
Let's go for it.
Okay - shal l we do it?
Yeah!
Hirono-chan looks fine.
She joined a new theatre-group.
But when l look at those two..
..it's quite depressing.
Because Rei isn't here.
Makes sense.
Wada-san!
Here you go.
You came to look for Rei?
Stupid.
We sti l l have a lot of work to do. That's where you wi l l play.
Rock a wave?
at zepp Tokyo
Rei wi l l surely come back in time.
Yes.
That's strong!
lf you meet him - what wi l l you do?
He's very different from the Ryuuji you used to know.
l shouldn't say this, but..
when he couldn't debut and came here..
He didn't tel l you anything, right?
He just disappeared.
But l sti l l want to meet him.
Wait Ryuuji !
Ryuuji?
Who's Ryuuji?
Eh?
Ryuuji !
l..
..lost my memories in an accident.
Eh?
What's that supposed to mean?
This isn't a korean dorama.
l'm not amused.
Who are you?
Ryuuji !
l don't remember you.
You forgot me?
Or..
..you want to forget me?
Uh - l understand.
Your hungry?
l'l l give you this. So leave.
Who's that girl?
Wel l..
She knows you?
What about your audition?
l fai led!
But l had a good time.
l wonder...
- Say, who's that girl? - Who?
She's your girlfriend? You dumped her?
Sorry, l have to go.
Ryuuji ! Wait!
Wait! Ryuuji !
l said l'm not your Ryuuji.
Then 'Not-being-Ryuuji-is-okay,too'!
Go home!
- l won't go. - Just go home!
l won't go home!
l wi l l not go home..
..l don't even know where l am.
Ryuu... Whoever you are.
lt's your fault that l'm lost.
Where the hel l is this place?
Now you're mad at me, 'Not-being-Ryuuji-is-okay,too'?
Your address?
This way.
Say, Ryuuji...
l'm Joji.
Say, Joji...
When first meeting, using -san would be appropriate.
Say, Joji-san..
..don't you have parents?
- l wonder... - Why did you come to New York?
l don't remember.
Everybody is forgotten..
..what a pity.
Thank you for your pity.
That's quite not exactly what l meant.
l've always l ived here.
l recently got this job.
But l could always speak Engl ish, so there was no problem in talking.
l've never heard such a tale. How'd you learn it?
l forgot.
And what's your business?
You don't real ly look l ike a foreign student.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
You look l ike having lot's of free time.
l'm sorry, but..
l'm quite busy actual ly.
We're lost!
l thought so, but we're not.
You do it every time,..
when you take someone home, don't you?
ln Tokyo you did it, when l couldn't find my way..
..the first day we met.
So since when have you become..
..so considerate?
That evening in the park..
you would have left me lost.
You disappeared right before my very eyes...
Here we are.
lt's the Penthouse?
Maki is doing wel l, l guess.
So?
So you do know Maki-chan?
l'm leaving.
Bye.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking me home.
Wait!
l can't stand it.
l can't stand it anymore.
Toi let? You're at home.
l real ly have to slap you.
Without that l can't return to Japan.
l understand.
When you've done it - you wi l l return?
Then go ahead.
Slap me.
Twice if necessary.
Or 3 times
That real ly hurts.
Why'd you do that?
You hit l ike a train. You could have broken my jaw.
How cruel.
l was worried.
l was so much worried.
l'm sorry...
ldiot.
lt's the first time..
l see you cry.
ls this the first time we meet?
Right now..
..my memories came back!
ldiot!
((This is a kiss))
How do you l ike your eggs?
Let me see..
Wel l done?
Roger.
Something missing?
Soya-Sauce.
Soya-Sauce?
What for?
- Oy... - What is it?
Why take Soya-Sauce?
Everybody takes Soya-Sauce for eggs, right?
What?
Your kidding. lt's mayonaise.
Wait...
- That's del icious. - Mayonaise?
You think so?
Del icious, right?
Just a l ittle...
Don't do that!
Rei - where are you. You must see this...
Maki-chan. Are you there?
l'm coming.
- Let me see. - Don't!
l'l l do it!
lt's wet!
Say..
..don't you play music anymore?
l can't.
lt's too dangerous.
That's your own fault.
Your right.
l also miss the times we played together.
And al l this because l desperately joined Furacha.
Would have been better l had stayed with Sabakan, right?
You know,
l was real ly happy about Sabakan's debut.
But..
..l was also afraid.
l knew one day this band..
..one day Sabakan..
..would become your band for sure.
And l would be just another guitar-player.
l didn't want it that way.
l real ly didn't want it that way.
l could never go on l ike that.
That's why l joined Furacha.
But l just became a clown..
and everything started going down.
lt was right to leave Japan,..
..because l couldn't start something new over there.
That's why..
..l want you to work hard with Sabakan.
- For you... - l..
..l have thought the same way.
When l was sti l l in my hometown, l felt that l had to go to Tokyo..
..to change my l ife.
And so i started working at that bar.
What if we get some money and open a bar?
Here are a lot of Japanese people, right?
Let's open a fashion-conscious l iquorshop "Yume No Kura" in New York!
Say, Ryuuji..
..one fine day...
Good night.
The Gecko-Theater-Group?
There is nothing in this schedule.
That can't be.
"Stigray" cancel led, so we took their place.
lt's the week from 3rd August...
Yeah, "Stigray" is here, but they didn't cancel.
They are a funny group.
But - what about the deposit of 1.000.000Yen?
A deposit of 1.000.000Yen?
Obviously l didn't get any money.
What happened?
Megumi !
That idiot took al l the money.
The deposit of 1.000.000Yen is gone.
She told us l ie!
Wi l l we ever get our money back?
Why?
Maki-chan?
l'm ready.
That look's del icious.
Rei !
Because you are pretty, you may sit down.
You should have visited earl ier.
Did Maki-chan prepare al l this?
No. Leaving it to her, we'd be in great trouble.
But l made al l these.
Did you? Did real ly make that? ...
You l ive in the eastern part?
There are only Japanese, right?
Wel l, yeah, but..
..l'm also one.
There are many interesting things in New York,
but after 3 months l've had enough.
Real ly?
l think it is fun.
lt's real ly the best - that's what everybody says.
Even funerals are pretty here.
That's because you're not from here.
l don't l ike the weather here.
So l'm returning to Tokyo next month.
Eh? That's boring.
Ryuuji, you wi l l stay here in New York?
That's the plan.
But as a musician it wi l l be hard.
To join a new band as a Japanese...
And there are lots of guitarists.
mmh..
l gave up on music...
l see.
No offense, but l think that's for the best.
There's no way of success without hard work,..
..and even then you probably wouldn't succeed.
Wel l, but you can always aim for another goal,..
..there are many chances in this big city.
When you think of it,..
..you might remember your very first dream..
..and find your happiness.
You l ike some more?
Rei, you should start thinking of going back..
..Sabakan's big debut is coming up.
Kohashi-san, what do you think of Maki-chan?
Wel l, l love her very much.
But she doesn't seem to l ike me.
That's not true.
That was del icious, wasn't it?
Kohashi-san is a good cook.
That's right.
Tomorrow's your day off, right?
l want to see 'Lady Liberty'.
You can cl imb up inside, did you know?
- After that - Brooklyn Bridge. - lsn't it enough already?
There is sti l l so much l want to see.
You're hurt, aren't you?
The real reason you came..
is another one, right?
lt's alright. l won't die of it.
You intend to continue this way?
Then say it.
Then,..
.. you don't want to hurt me?
Wi l l you give up everything?
Wi l l you let Sabakan down?
Why are you behaving l ike this?
You said you were worried about me..
..but you real ly came to end it, right?
l have no regrets coming here alone - without you.
That's the way l think, don't you agree?
You too...
Why do you behave this way?
To bring it to an end.
You don't want to play guitar again?
What is this crap: 'l couldn't go on in Japan'.
You shouldn't have left!
What d'you mean?
You're always complaining.
l am complaining?
- You threw away everything. - l didn't!
Then you should have started over in Tokyo!
Where is that new l ife of yours?
There's no such thing!
Ryuuji..
..wasn't music everything to you?
No guitar, no money. Doing boring work day after day.
Aren't you the same?
You work in a bar, too
What's so great about Japan?
ls it so much easier there?
ls that real ly what you think?
l left my smal l hometown..
..worked at Tokyo..
..and l wanted to be with you..
..but..
..why did you say it then..
.." l l ike your voice "..
Why did you say it at that time?
lt's al l because of you l want to sing!
Real ly?
But l say this to every girl l do approach.
Go home!
Go home and sing with Sabakan!
l wi l l !
- Go home! - l wi l l !
Rei-chan - are you sleeping?
l'm sorry..
..that things turned out that way.
That's okay.
Should l go back, too?
l don't know what l'm doing here.
l haven't been back once..
since l came here.
Here real ly are very nice people,
more friendly than at home.
So l can't go back.
There's nothing for me anymore at Tokyo.
l think it's real ly impossible.
There's sti l l "Yume No Kura", isn't?
Everbody is waiting for you.
Even if they quit, find another work,
if they get married..
..somehow there wi l l always be good-natured people.
You're right.
So don't forget.
Besides that,
there is always Kohashi-san.
Especial ly for you.
He's gay.
What?
He's real ly gay.
He only..
..does love men.
He told you?
But didn't you date?
Not at al l.
Up to now there has nothing happened at al l.
He does l ive here with me,
we sleep in the same room, we use the bathroom together.
l thought that was suspicious.
Then, that time l asked.
Girlfriend? Boyfriend?
lt was so embarassing. He turned me down.
l should be used to it.
l'm not lucky at al l.
Rei-chan..
..how does it feel?
To tel l your boyfriend..
..that you.love him
..how does it feel?
l want to have someone..
..i can tel l 'l love you'.
Then l think..
..al l unhappy thoughts would have gone.
That's such a great thing.
You must be truly happy..
..to know..
..that you wi l l become the happiest person in the world.
(Romeo And The Red Panty Ladies)
Good job.
You did see her, didn't you?
Princess Hirono.
What - you didn't see her?
Everybody join us afterwards!
Hirono!
Senpai, you were great.
Great? Not real ly, i think.
You've always been..
..always and always been the senpai l longed for.
To see your face - l came to Tokyo.
But l couldn't open your heart.
But it's okay now..
l won't try any more.
l gave up.
Afraid of being alone, hiding behind others..
..pursueing other people's dreams..
..that's what l can't do anymore.
From now on,..
.. l wi l l properly find my own way.
That's what l decided.
Wi l l you be okay?
l'l l be there, if you need help.
- l'm okay. Stay wel l.
Make sure you are successful.
Farewel l...
What is it?
You're coming to laugh at me because l was dumped?
l wouldn't laugh..
l was dumped, too.
l see.
This is from Rei-chan.
l'm sure she'd l ike to see you smi le, when she leaves.
Rei !
l have something to tel l !
l LOVE YOU
Let me here it again!
l LOVE YOU
Stupid!
Go for it!
Go for it!Go for it!
Go for it!
Alright!
SABAKAN - GO!
- When did Rei come back? - Yesterday
Wada-chan, you're quite happy, aren't you? Because l l ike to hear her sing.
And that is why.
Wi l l everything be okay?
The very first dream you ever had - do you sti l l remember?
- That's nice, isn't it? - Your in my way.
Rei looks real ly grown up now.
- So. - Just l isten.
Coming from a tiny countryside town in Kouchi,
l was incapable of imagining al l this, not even in dreams.
Whatever might happen,..
..l just wanted to go to Tokyo.
A place crowded with people wherever you go.
But...
But meeting you..
..talking to you..
..made me thinking.
Little things..
..whatever l did..
..l was thinking of you.
So..
You being weak, l wanted to give you strength.
You being sad, l'd wanted to smi le for you.
At your busy times,..
..at your painful times..
..l wanted to hold your hand.
lf l only could see your smi le..
.. l'd be the happiest girl in the world.
But, you know, Ryuuji..
..l'm going to see you in my dreams.
Being together within my dreams,..
..my l ife wi l l always be sparkl ing.
The very first dream l ever had..
..l wi l l achieve it because of you.
l'l l always think of you.
However l might change..
..whatever l might do..
..my heart is with you.
One day we wi l l meet again.
Having the same dream - we'l l be reunited.
And then - some day again..
wherever, whenever we might be able to meet..
..when that time comes, l want you to say again:
'l love your voice'.
l want to hear you saying it again.
(lf l say Goodbye, then you, maybe, might be able to forget me.)
(And then if we meet again someday you'l l thank me then...)
(l tried walking very far l walked without carrying anything)
(That day that l met you. l sti l l treasure it.)
This was the best "l ive".
Cheers to Survival Company!
Cheers!
Starting today, you are my favourites.
Haven't we already signed a contract?
But now you've earned it.
You're l ike old friends to me.
Rei, you have to quit here.
Mitsuo, you too.
You're pros now.
lt's impossible for you.
Real ly.
Just a bit more...
300.000. What does that mean?
Welcome back.
How was New York?
l'm sorry for making you worry.
You changed.
No. l didn't real ly.
You changed.
You think so?
To my troublesome friends! Cheers!
Cheers!
Say, Ryoko. Are you real ly okay working here?
Wel l, l can't quit this bar.
There are too many cute young men.
Let's drink.

She's, as always - l ike Maki-chan.
She was dumped?
Kohashi-san.
He's gay for sure.
Gay?
- Ryoko-chan! - That's New York for you.
You can't change that easi ly.
But these two are doing wel l. They wi l l come together for sure.
Wi l l they?

After tel l ing me,
she cried and we drank a lot unti l dawn.
So lonely.
But in the morning they met and had so much fun together again.
Let's drink unti l morning, too!
But l have practice tomorrow...
You'l l be fine. Let's do it!
