"Akira, they're coming!" "Here they come!" "Quick!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Shiro!" "Mom!" "Misako!" "Hey!" "It's your fault!" "Mom might die, you know!" "Go away!" "Just go away!" "I'll see you" "Akira!" "I hate to give him back, but Akira's really upset" "I see..." "How's Misako?" "No change" "Here, Shiro." "Time to eat" "Eat lots and lots" "Delivery!" "Coming" "A box of fruit from Aomori." "I'll just set it down here" "Here, Shiro!" "This way!" "Shiro..." ""WASAO"" "Gone again!" "Looks like a good catch, Hiroshi" "So-so" "Thanks a lot!" "Kazue!" "Give me a hand" "So-so, huh?" "Maybe to him" "Everyone has their own special talent, huh?" "What happened to you?" "You should talk!" "Good morning!" "Sayo!" "Sayo!" "Sayo!" "Thank your mother for the grapes, will you?" "OK" "See you" "Off you go!" "'Morning" "That's all I have today." "Something tore up my field" "What did that?" "!" "I don't know" "What's wrong?" "I don't know" "Nancy!" "'Morning!" "'Morning, Akira" "Where's Nagisa?" "She didn't seem too good this morning, so she's skipping her walk" "I'll drop in after school, then" "Take care!" "Hiroshi should be home soon" "Kikuya" "What did I tell you?" "Right on time!" "Hi, there!" "Hi" "How was it?" "So-so" "So-so, huh?" "Come on" "Here we go" "You're hungry, right?" "You'll love this" "There..." "There, Monchan" "Monchan?" "Hm?" "Catch anything?" "Yeah" "You won't believe this!" "No?" "Show me" "OK, here" "What, is that all?" "No, what you won't believe..." "I saw a lion" "A white one" "Like the Jungle King?" "No, meaner and uglier than that" "A lion, huh?" "Don't fall for Shigeo's stories." "The more you do, the wilder they get" "It's not a story!" "Well, then if there was something out there and the media got hold of it, we'd get some tourists and put some life in this town" "I'm all for anything that'll put life in the place" "Forget it!" "Here" "This?" "Kazue, look" "Shall we deep-fry it?" "Hello" "Welcome!" "A grilled squid, please" "That's ?" "300" "There" "Thank you!" "Take care" "Nagisa?" "Can't you eat?" "Let's see..." "Your nose..." "It's all dry!" "I'm going to the vet" "Right" "Watch the front" "Tanioka Animal Hospital" "Good dog!" "Very good!" "She's getting old" "If anything happens, let me know" "Ok" "A firecracker?" "She probably swallowed it with some dirt" "Animals eat soil to replenish their minerals" "They do?" "So I hope everyone's careful to pick up after themselves" "Good dog!" "She should be fine" "Thank you" "I'll check her stomach" "Tatsuya!" "Hi, Setsuko" "What a mess!" "It sure is" "It threw around everything it could find" "A bear?" "Maybe, or monkeys" "It'd take a big dog to do this" "Something starving in the woods?" "Will you report it?" "I have to" "What a mess!" "Look at all these!" "Just leave that" "What a waste!" "Hello!" "Hi!" "Hello!" "Pipi!" "Huh?" "Where's Nagisa?" "Didn't Setsuko take her for a walk?" "Monchan!" "Monchan's going to have puppies!" "What?" "!" "Are you sure?" "I've seen it before" "You have?" "Setsuko!" "Are you here?" "It's us again!" "Sayo!" "Tomoya!" "Yohei!" "Are you all studying hard?" "Yohei's getting ready for high-school entrance exams" "Hirosaki High?" "Yep" "That's a hard school to get into" "It sure is" "Hello." "Is Akira here?" "Hello!" "Hello" "Akira!" "Sis!" "Let's go see Mom" "Monchan doesn't want people touching her now" "OK" "'Bye!" "See you tomorrow, Akira" "'Bye, Akira" "Come tomorrow, OK?" "See you!" "Is Nagisa OK?" "Sure" "Don't touch her too much." "She's pregnant and she'll get upset" "Akira said that" "Is she sick?" "We just came back from the vet" "You did?" "Is she sick?" "Did you tell Akira about Monchan?" "No" "He noticed it first." "He said he's seen pups being born" "So Akira knew about it..." "Goodbye!" "Akira!" "Maki!" "Take care!" "It's a toss-up whether you're ugly or cute" "Setsuko!" "We'll see you" "Take care!" "Business Development Section" "Two more fields have been ripped up just today" "There's lots of wild dogs around" "It didn't look like dog tracks" "Then deer or monkeys, probably" "No" "A bear, maybe" "A bear means real trouble!" "Do something, will you!" "Of course!" "We just don't really have anyone right now..." "Don't wreck the place!" "Yeah, you're right" "A woman who says she'll marry me might change her mind now" "You're getting married?" "!" "Congratulations!" "I asked her, but with this she might not!" "If there's a bear, we can't have the triathlon" "Sure we can!" "The triathlon will go ahead as planned" "I hope you'll all help out" "Help out, huh?" "I can let off fireworks" "There's no budget for that!" "We haven't had fireworks in years" "No one does anything now" "We can't just rot away" "If we all do that, the town falls apart" "If no one takes that first step, nothing changes" "We should go in it" "You're right!" "That's a great idea" "You too, Mitsugu" "Me?" "The triathlon?" "Yes, please!" "But we can't tell everyone they might run into a bear!" "We'll call a hunting club" "People running around with rifles will scare everyone away" "I understand how you all feel but if something were to happen..." "I know someone" "A traditional hunter" "Yeah..." "It is a toss-up" "Setsuko!" "Hi!" "Hello" "You know a lot about the local animal life right?" "I'm sorry?" "They say there's a bear around here." "Have you seen anything?" "If it came anywhere near the beach, the dogs would go crazy" "They've all had their shots?" "Of course" "I'm supposed to put down any wild dogs or anything I find" "If it's a bear with cubs, will you still shoot it?" "Well, at first we'll try and chase it away" "Killing's a last resort" "I'll see you" "We're all just doing our best to get by" "Right?" "You want some?" "No?" "That big furry dog's quite something" "He must be, to run away" "Furry...he sure is that!" "The Kikuyas are having pups" "I sent Shiro to Tokyo" "He must be pretty mad, right?" "Grandpa?" "Get in the house!" "Good morning" "Thank you for coming" "This way, please" "Here, Kazue" "Bears are scary" "Yeah" "They've brought in a pro to get rid of it" "I don't like depending on people to solve my problems" "I'm not depending on anyone" "A bear wrecks your field, and you leave it to others" "It's not the same!" "Tatsuya, why don't you try that?" "The triathlon?" "The three old guys are doing it to help bring the town back to life" "They are?" "They're people who knew the town when times were better" "And people like us mean to stay here, right?" "I'm not moving away" "I've got fields to look after" "Then you help out, too" "Tell you what: if you're the best in the triathlon, I'll marry you" "Shirakami Cup The 25th Ajigasawa Triathlon" "He'll be here" "No, he won't" "There!" "Eat!" "Nagisa!" "No!" "Yes!" "Wasao!" "That'll be your name, 'cause you're furry" "OK?" "Bear Alert" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Good work" "Go for it!" "What's that?" "A white bear" "No, it's not!" "Discretion's the better part of valor." "Let's call it a day" "Yes, let's" "Time to go" "We try again tomorrow" "Tatsuya!" "You're working hard" "My whole life rides on this!" "His whole life?" "That's really something" "I couldn't do that" "Another three minutes and my life would've been over" "Well, in ten minutes we can have a beer at Naoko's" "Good thing I didn't drop dead" "Hello" "That was Wasao, I'll bet" "That white bear?" "That's one big dog!" "Which means..." "I guess he likes it here" "The dog does?" "I doubt it" "No, maybe he does" "And soon..." "Setsuko" "She couldn't take in a dog that big" "Sure she could" "She looks after three bigger ones" "She means us?" "I guess so" "He'll end up at Setsuko's" "He's a funny-looking dog, but he's kind of appealing" "You're right!" "Come in here" "Hi, Sayo." "What's up?" "Something" "I'm putting my name in" "For what?" "One of the cram schools?" "For that" "The triathlon?" "The festival" "The one after the triathlon." "You guys do it, too" "Us?" "We can make a great float, and be in the band, too" "I'll play the flute, and you can drum" "Who says you decide?" "That sounds like work!" "Then go in the triathlon" "And have primary-school kids beat me?" "No way!" "The festival, then" "Aw, man!" "Akira, you make sure they don't slack off" "OK." "I'll help, too" "Bring us some water!" "Nagisa!" "Are you still alive?" "Hang in there!" "You're older than we are" "Here you go" "Thanks" "Want to come?" "You're late!" "They're waiting!" "Hurry it up!" "Come on, run!" "Hello" "Hi" "You're going to drum?" "Uh, yeah..." "Right!" "Give it a try" "I'll say when" "Sayo..." "You, too" "Now!" "Well, you made a noise..." "It's not from the arms." "It comes from your back and hips" "OK" "Watch me" "Hi!" "Meeting someone?" "Yeah" "Would you like some squid?" "Thanks!" "Hello" "Those two are late?" "Monchan's a lot bigger" "A lot" "You had a dog too, didn't you?" "Yeah, Shiro" "But he went to my aunt's" "It's sad when you have to be apart" "Subtitles by Syful Noa Bluebiru" "I shouldn't have asked" "We were always together, and I told him to go away" "I don't know why I said that... ..but I did" "When that car hit Mom I blamed Shiro" "He was still a puppy but..." "Hello" "Hi!" "You're late!" "You don't keep a lady waiting" "Only Dr Tanioka can do that" "'Bye!" "I'm told Sayo's parents are splitting up" "What?" "It's in court now" "Hello!" "Hi, Shige!" "Who's that?" "The hunter" "There's another one" "Where is it?" "What do you mean?" "I found this at a broken shed" "Wasao wouldn't do that" "A bear is dangerous, but so is a wild dog" "And a dog that tangles with a bear can get badly hurt" "If this is one of your dogs, keep him tied up" "Tie him up" "Hi" "Some squash" "We can use them" "I'll have one" "Hello" "A grilled squid, please" "That's ?" "300" "Thank you" "Here you go" "He's always been alone, hasn't he" "Abandoned, I think" "But now he's got you to look after him" "I've been taking in strays for over 20 years, now I think of it" "They don't live that long, but they all live full lives" "I've always figured no one was going to look after me" "That was OK." "I was resigned to it" "But you know, Setsuko..." "What?" "There's someone I want to look after!" "She wants to get married to me!" "I'm sure you'll be fine together, Tatsuya" "Won't they?" "Sayo!" "Hi, Setsuko" "Were you at practice?" "Everyone has troubles but then you realize people are concerned about you" "Wasao did, and so should you" "Hang in a bit more." "You've still got lots to see" "He's like a lion!" "Yeah!" "The white bear?" "That's Wasao" "I'd love to see him!" "You will." "I see him in town" "And he comes to the Kikuya sometimes" "His face made me happy" "He's funny-looking, though" "I'm starving" "Yeah!" "Me, too" "Tomi!" "Let's take a break" "Shall we get a bit to eat, then?" "Her strength has come back, and her condition's stable" "We can send her to Hirosaki for the operation now" "If you would, please" "Wasao!" "You're Akira's dog?" "Wasao?" "Mom..." "I'll be on my way" "Thank you" "Good night" "Thanks" "Nagisa?" "Nagisa...thank you" "Thank you" "Nagisa's gone?" "Yeah" "Wasao?" "Wasao was here for her..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing" "No?" "It's just you know one day you'll have to say goodbye but it's hard" "Yep" "It is" "Nagisa!" "Thank you!" "The 25th Ajigasawa Triathlon" "Welcome to Ajigasawamachi in the Shirakami Mountains and thank you very much for coming" "When you reach the goal, we promise you can eat your fill of the country's best apples!" "Try!" "Try!" "There" "Aw, man!" "I'm beat!" "You know what retire means in a race?" "Nothing stops me!" "What's wrong, Tatsuya?" "This is bad!" "Shall we all retire?" "Never!" "My whole life rides on this!" "Right!" "Nothing stops me!" "Shall we?" "You mean it?" "Here he comes!" "Tatsuya!" "Go!" "Tatsuya!" "Go!" "Keep going!" "Go!" "I'm afraid he's closer to last than first" "That doesn't matter." "I said if he's best" "It's the same thing" "He's trying the best" "Mom!" "I'll phone when it's done" "Thank you" "She'll be OK." "Don't worry" "Mom'll be back, won't she?" "Of course" "The doctor said she'd be fine" "So let's go home and wait" "You were the best, Takuya!" "I'll keep my promise" "You did great!" "Really great!" "Calling your grand-kids?" "No" "I consider this my reward to myself" "Your fireworks!" "It's been a long time!" "Next time, there'll be even more" "Yeah..." "When we come in with the leaders" "Now the fireworks are laughing at us" "You're right!" "Akira?" "Akira!" "Akira?" "Mom..." "Tatsuya, that was great" "Hello!" "Beer" "Tatsuya looked really great today!" "He did?" "No, I didn't!" "What are you all smiles about?" "Monchan had her pups" "She did?" "Isn't that nice!" "A toast!" "You too, Kazue" "Cheers!" "Gone again!" "Akira?" "Akira!" "Where are you going?" "Where's he going?" "A bear?" "!" "Bear!" "Akira!" "Get out of there!" "Look out!" "Setsuko!" "Has Akira been here?" "What's wrong?" "Whatever's the matter?" "It's Akira..." "Mom..." "Surgery" "Trouble!" "A bear!" "Not again!" "You're kidding, right?" "No!" "On Narusawa Mountain." "Akira's there!" "Akira?" "I saw Akira walk by, and then Wasao went by... ..and then Wasao met the bear, and then..." "I swear!" "It's the truth!" "And then?" "And then And then I don't know" "You don't know?" "!" "Call Setsuko!" "Get everyone!" "Kazue!" "Call everyone!" "Excuse me!" "What's the problem?" "Someone come with me!" "Akira went after Mom" "He thinks she won't be back, just like Shiro" "What do we do?" "!" "It's OK" "It'll be fine" "Hiroshi!" "Where's Akira?" "Up in the mountains" "We're going to look for him." "There's a bear" "I'll come too" "Setsuko!" "You wait here" "Setsuko, wait!" "Take me with you" "Sure" "Akira!" "We'll go this way." "You go over there!" "Here's the bike." "That way" "Hello?" "What?" "!" "Tatsuya!" "Where's Akira?" "Is that what's been tearing up the village?" "I think so" "The dog's probably hurt bad, too" "That's the one that was with Akira" "Akira!" "Hello!" "Akira!" "Shout if you're here!" "Akira!" "Shout if you're here!" "Akira!" "He's here!" "We found him!" "I'm sorry!" "It's OK!" "You're safe!" "There was a bear..." "I was scared" "Then this big white dog came and saved me" "Akira!" "Are you here?" "Akira!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Tatsuya!" "Maki!" "We found Akira!" "You did?" "!" "This way!" "Wasao?" "Shiro..." "Maki!" "Where's Akira?" "He's fine." "He just needs to rest" "He's gone to sleep" "Akira!" "Great!" "Could I have one?" "This one, maybe?" "If you take care of him" "You don't mind?" "I know you will" "Thank you!" "Then again no" "He'll be lonely without his mother" "Hello!" "Akira!" "Come here" "You little rat!" "I'm glad you're OK!" "Setsuko!" "Thank you very much" "Not at all" "You're all better now?" "Great!" "Your mom?" "The operation was a success." "The doctor says she's fine" "Will she be home tomorrow?" "No, not that soon" "She'll be home before you know it" "That's right!" "Where are the puppies?" "They're so cute!" "Akira..." "Come with me" "What?" "Hey, that's..." "It's a magic ball" "Whatever happens, it always comes back to you" "Throw it" "Shiro?" "You wanted to see Akira" "That's why you came back, right?" "All this time, Akira's been waiting for you, too!" "Shiro?" "It's you, isn't it" "I missed you!" "Shiro!" "Shiro..." "Shiro!" "Shiro, that tickles!" "Shiro!" "Isn't that great, Wasao?"
