"Hurry up!" "Wait!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "Wait for me, Garuru." "You are too fast!" "Anyway, what's that?" "This?" "Memories." "Memories!" "Seriously, memories!" "Where is Gucchi?" "Over there." "He is bringing the water." "Help him out." "No, because he'd start blabbering around." "Finally, it's over." "Is it OK?" "That script." "It's fine... 「Winter Time Machine Blues」 Yesterday, our year ended abruptly." "I don't think that we lost." "You're not the one to say that." "But it can't..." "It can't be helped." "There are different opinions on the play." "For the senior students, take this result as..." "But we lost." "That's the result." "A loss is a loss." "I'm sure that the one who really wanted to cry was Sugita herself." "Thank you for your hard work." "Because she was our leader, we were able to come this far." "Assemble." "Yes!" "Let's pack." "Let's do better to reach the Nationals." "Yes!" "Thank you for your hard work." "Thank you." "You may go now." "Yes." "Elite schools are really different, right?" "Yes." "Like everyone said:" "don't worry about it, Nakanishi." "How about Saori?" "That's great!" "What?" "The next club captain." "Oh..." "What?" "I have a part-time job." "I gotta study for an entrance exam." "Everyone is having that exam!" "Then, who thinks Saori should be the Captian?" "Me!" "What's with that?" "It's decided then." "It's not!" "Hi, club captain!" "It's impossible!" "Everyone, we've decided on the club captain!" "Stop it already..." "Captain, we're in your care." "Congratulations." "It's not decided yet." "Fire isn't allowed." "You can't do that without an advisor." "You're late." "You left without me." "That's not true." "So who is the new captain?" "It's not decided yet." "It's Takahashi." "Takahashi, do your best as a captain." "I can't." ""Captain Attack"." "That's not allowed." "That's against school regulations." "Let's decide properly." "Captain, I leave it to you." "Teacher!" "Please take care of us!" "I know you can do it." ""Captain Attack"." "That's violating school rules." "You shouldn't do that to a teacher." "Who thinks Takahashi should be captain?" "Me!" "High school drama plays are harsh." "For example, the baseball team has big competitions in summer, fall, and spring." "There are many chances to shine." "But for the field of drama, we only have one chance." "We start preparing in summer, and perform for just one hour, in fall." "It's judged subjectively by some judges we don't know." "If the judges don't like it, that's the end." "Although all participants receive an award called "Honorable-Participant-Award"," "I can't stop feeling that it's a "Not-Good-Enough Award"." "My name is Takahashi." "I'll be the new captain." "Yay!" "Let's start the exercise." "Come on!" "Don't you..." "Don't you have something more to say?" "Something that shows your enthusiasm." "Now that the senior students left, we have Yukko, Garuru and me, as Seniors." "The junior students are Akemi, Mura, Takada, and Narisa." "It makes seven of us." "Let's now..." "No, wait a moment." "Do you mean that we won't cry like that anymore?" "Huh?" ""I am..." "I am..."" ""It can't..."" ""No..."" ""No..."" ""Gucchi isn't related to this."" ""Isn't that irritating?" "Although they rank us,"" ""he says it's alright, since we did our best."" ""Which is it?"" ""Seriously, we don't need a 'Honorable-Participant-Award'."" ""It's a participation certificate, right?"" ""Anyway, I don't want to lose!"" ""I wanted to win."" "Eh?" "Is it wrong?" "It's not!" "Not at all!" "That's good!" "Thanks." "Then, the exercise." "Yes!" "I gotta work." "Bye." "Work hard." "Garuru works so hard." "Even during Christmas and New Years." "I admire her." "How about you, Saori?" "For the holiday?" "No plans at all." "How about you, Yukko?" "I'm going to Hawaii with my family." "Before, I gotta study really hard for the entrance exam." "You were great today." "Eh, is that so?" "I'll do my best." "For one more year, I want to do a lot of acting with you!" "Although, I'm okay with either Saori or Garuru," "Saori is the right one, after all." "Captain!" "I have an excellent eye!" "I'll follow you, Captain!" "Oh, it's papa!" "I still don't know what you think." "Hello." "Yukko is like a princess since we were elementary school students." "But I love that Yukko." "Because when she stands on the stage, the world seems brighter." "She has that kind of strange magic." "People think of an actress as someone like Yukko." "Then, I'm..." "What am I?" "Done!" "I'm going out!" "Have a good day." "Be careful!" "OK." "I'm going." "I'll pass out, just by thinking about next year." "What's this?" "All of a sudden..." "Your course!" "What will you do with your course?" "You're just lazing around everyday." "Sorry, I'm busy reading comics." "Do you see what kind of attitude she gives?" "I'm going." "Papa, wait." "She must have her own way of thinking." "I'm going." "You should worry more about it!" "It's so annoying." "Hello!" "It's Takahashi." "A photo?" "I'll use it for auditions." "Senior, you're going to university, right?" "I am, if I pass the test." "This is for after that." "I can't stop acting, after all." "Keep it secret, I didn't tell my parents." "In Tokyo, I'll apply for an audition to see what I really have, and earn more experience." "My ultimate objective is to create my own troupe." "My goal is to create my own masterpiece." "Because I can't forget that feeling." "...to be able to build my own world, imagining it, with an audience around me." "It's irresistible, right?" "I have to work hard..." "I'm sorry, Senior." "I was thinking about something else at that time." "My world is..." "When I picture the future, surprisingly, I get nothing." "My future is..." "I wonder what is it?" "By the way, are you sure I'm the right person to take this important picture?" "Of course." "Because I think you are the one who can capture me, for who I really am." "Then, third semester, the time that we feared, is about to come." "Here is the schedule for this year." "Excuse me." "The first play is at the welcoming festivities, in April." "Recruit a lot of new members!" "Teacher, won't you help us think of what play to do?" "Oh, that..." "Anything that Captain decides." "Do as you will." "Art has no limits!" "Damn you, Gucchi." "Huh?" "Nothing." "Woah!" "What?" "Noodles." "Noodles?" "Ah, Saori!" "Wait!" "What should I do?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Thanks." "「Poetry/Drama」" "「Romeo and Juliet」" "I'd never read it before." "But I got into it." "Fight!" "Oooo!" "From the drama club, a fragment of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"." "This is the love story of Montague's Son:" "Romeo." "And Capulet's Daughter:" "Juliet." "Who are from two feuding families." ""Oh, Juliet, my soul."" ""Oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"" ""I'll fly there with wings of love."" ""If I'm not loved,"" ""it's alright to be found out and be killed!"" ""Tonight's security is specially enhanced."" ""Good night." -"Good night, Juliet."" "It's your turn." "It's your turn!" "Sorry." "However, no one knows that a tragedy awaits for them." "At least they could have watched quietly." "Excuse me." "Excuse us!" "Ah, yes." "We are from the drama club, we are here to practice." "Romeo and Juliet?" "Huh?" "Today, Romeo and Juliet." "You did Romeo and Juliet..." "Shakespeare, right?" "Yes." "Are you nomads?" "What?" "Like wanderers, not having a place for rehearsal." "A place exclusive for you." "Like a small theater." "Sorry, forget it." "I'm the new teacher, Yoshioka." "Pleased to meet you." "Senior..." "Huh?" "What?" "It's like... right?" "What is it?" "The script..." "What should we do from now on?" "It's alright, I'll think about it." "I'm sorry to make you worry." "No, it's alright." "Let's do vocal training then." "What should I do?" "I'm hungry." "What about you?" "Yes." "Let's go eat something at the convenience store." "I hate when someone is nice to me, when I'm upset." "By the way Gucchi is cunning, right?" "Please stop it, Yukko." "I'm gonna cry if you keep comforting me." "This is bad." "I'm going to cry." "No, don't cry." "Don't cry..." "Don't cry." "Sorry." "I forgot something." "You can go first." "I'll wait." "It's OK." ""Then, Campanella looked down at the round plate-like"" ""map in his hand, busily turning it round and round."" ""On the map,"" ""a single track of rail, skirted the left bank of the whitened Milky Way,"" ""Tracing its way south and further south, again."" ""Where did you buy this map?"" ""It's made of obsidian, right?"" ""Said Giovanni."" ""I got it from Galaxy station."" ""You didn't get it?"" "Enough, what do you think about it?" "I don't really understand." "It's the author's job to describe something hard to explain." "Even the author himself might not know what he really meant." "Actually the ending of "Night on the Galactic Railroad"" "was rewritten many times." "Like an author uses words, artists use colors and forms and musicians use sounds to describe something hard to explain." "This isn't something everyone can do, though." "This kind of work is done by those who are called geniuses." "Where are the junior girls?" "They went to assembly, for the school trip." "They might be late." "I think I should tell them now." ""Sorry, I want to quit."" "Here I go." "Hey..." "Can I have a moment?" "Here you are, can I have a moment?" "Portraits?" "Some other schools used this method." "Shakespeare isn't bad, but I think you can do it this way, too." "What's with this person?" "How is it?" "Want to try it?" "Teacher, do you know a lot about drama?" "No." "You can say anything about yourself." "Each of you creates a character, you connect them, then merge it all, into one piece." "It won't be that hard, right?" "If it's about yourselves." "Don't say it so easily." "Say something that you like, your interests..." "If I could do that already, I wouldn't be struggling." "And then..." "Um..." "Something you've been thinking about." "How would you do that?" "If you are a teacher, please show us." "I know, this is just an outburst of anger." "But..." "It's easy, right?" "Sorry, I can't stop." "I'm the worst." "I'm the worst." "Alright." "Let's see." ""My mother is a serious person."" ""My mother is..."" ""Well, I should say she is also..."" ""My mother is also a teacher." "Language teacher."" ""She still works in a city not so far away from here,"" ""teaching language in middle school."" ""Wakes up at the same time,"" ""leaves home at the same time"" ""and goes home at the same time, everyday."" ""When I was a kid, she used to tell me..."" "What is this?" ""What do you think?"" ""Is every language teacher an expert at reading books?"" ""Is that true?"" ""No idea?"" ""My mother was really good at reading books."" ""The world that was shown by my mother..."" "Rookie art teacher." "This strange teacher suddenly changed in front of us." ""...she might scold me." "It's not about winning or losing."" "The light that illuminated her from the window, beautiful and big," "Made her look like a Goddess." ""If I could show that to someone else..."" ""Someone that's not me."" ""To someone about to fly out of this world."" ""If I could show that..."" "It's no good." "It was good that I quit." "Quit?" "It's nothing." "How about "family" for the theme?" "It'll be easier with a theme." "The theme is "Me and My Family"." "I mean, I'm not forcing you." "Akemi, what is Yoshioka's first name?" "Yoshioka is..." "Misako, isn't she?" "What is it?" "The chinese character of her name is..." "That's it!" "Here it is, Yoshioka Misako." "She has done acting before." "The queen of student drama, it says." "The real face of the Goddess is that of a queen." "Please." "Please." "Just sit down." "Please." "Sit down!" "Sit down!" "How did you find out?" "On the internet." "You're the queen of acting, right?" "That's an exaggeration." "Well, I have done acting before, but it wasn't successful." "That's why I'm here." "I've got a lot of things to do, as a new teacher, at first..." "But you told us about Portraits, right?" "Well... that was... an intrusion." "Anyway, you have him, right?" "What's his name again?" "Gucchi." "Mizoguchi." "It's not fine to call him like that." "It's fine with him." "Queen." "I am not." "I don't know." "About what?" "I don't know what to do." "For what?" "Everything." "Does confessing to God feel like this?" "Then..." "Why do you want to act?" "It's alright for you to quit, if it's like that." "But..." "How should I say this..." "But..." "Sorry, I said too much." "Sorry, sorry." "It's impossible to be your advisor." "The Goddess is quite strict." "But..." "If it is just as an observer..." "Practice observation?" "If it's like that," "I can do it." "Observation!" "Only as an observer, okay?" "!" ""Dad was overjoyed,"" ""when he received his lunchbox."" ""He is being really careful,"" ""so he won't leave an oil stain on me."" ""Thanks, Akemi."" ""Be careful on your way home."" ""Then, I realized"" ""his hands are covered in oil."" ""I hold his hands."" ""I hold them tightly, for the first time."" ""I can remember the warm, comforting feeling, of my hand in his."" ""That is a memory of me and my father."" "OK, I'll go next." ""Grandpa, here is the test grade!"" ""Oh... many things written here..."" ""Good, good..."" ""Zero-points?"" ""Grandpa, what clothes should I wear?"" ""How about the hairstyle?"" ""The make-up?" "I can't think about it alone!"" ""Gramps?" "Don't sleep like that!"" "♪Nen Nen~" "♪Kororiyo" "♪Okororiyo" "Yes, done!" "I was really nervous." "What happened?" "You're awesome." "Why is Gucchi here?" "Because, I'm your advisor!" "Because of teacher Yoshioka..." "Hey, how was it?" "I couldn't really imagine how her dad's hand felt to her." "I wonder if it's okay to just say the good things?" "Well, really!" "I wish I was born as your dad!" "How was it?" "It's good, but is it okay?" "What will your mother think?" "It's alright." "A fatherless family is a fatherless family after all..." "That's why Garuru is awesome." "I never see her depressed." "But, why can't I find the words?" "What did you think, Teacher Yoshioka?" "I thought it was good." "Teacher Mizoguchi, you said they're weak." "But, they're not at all." "Weak?" "!" "No!" "I was just being modest..." "But, Saijou..." "I think you should decrease your movement." "If you're not moving," "I feel that your words will be delivered more clearly." "And then, Kato..." "Is there anything you don't like about your father?" "If you just keep telling his good points, he'll be embarrassed." "Hate and love, I think that's the truth of being a child." "She thinks the same way!" "Can I start next?" "That's cute, Hashizume." "Mama bought it for me." "The atmosphere has changed." "Wow!" "It's fun!" "This is bad!" "This is bad!" "This is bad!" "This is bad!" "Ah, wrong floor." "Should we put a song in the middle?" "Want to try it at today's rehearsal?" "Rehearsal, you said?" "So cheeky..." "This is bad!" "This is bad!" "Found you!" "This is bad!" "She transferred in, to our class." "Isn't that surprising?" "Will she join us?" "Well, she's from Seishin High." "Should we invite her?" "Should we?" "!" "No, Garuru." "That's so sudden." "I'm heading back." "Saori!" "Everyone doing as they please." "This is Takahashi Saori." "I'm Takahashi." "I'm Nakanishi." "Nakanishi, you are from the Seishin High School Drama Club, right?" "We were watching you!" "Right?" "Yes, we are also part of a drama club." "Kind of..." "Kind of." "By the way, Nakanishi..." "Sorry." "Stop!" "We need to go to class." "Wait, wait " " It's alright." "Sorry!" "Oh!" "Yukko..." "Why don't we have her join us?" "She's supposed to be good." "The princess is sensitive." ""So, Kusumi was also going to meet you, right?"" ""Why is the world so unfair?" "!"" ""What are you saying, Satomi?" "It's okay..."" "I don't know what Yukko thinks of last year's regional competition." "But, I know why she sulks." "...somehow." "Just an idea," "Do you want to do performances, with an audience?" "Invite parents and friends." "Actors get better by having an audience." "Then, Takahashi." "Yes." "Think how to link everyone's Portraits." "Also, music and lighting, as well." "Huh?" "Director debut!" "Teacher, I don't think I'm..." "How about the others..." "It's fine." "You must have a lot of ideas, even though you act clueless." "You just don't spit it out." "No, no..." "Not at all." "Above all, let's enjoy it!" "Everything is like that, right?" "Studying or anything." "I've been waiting for this, Captain!" "Stop it." "「 Directing Notes Takahashi Saori」" "Woah!" "I wrote it." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Huh?" "For today." "I was nervous, because you're from Seishin High." "Isn't Garuru, pushy?" "Oh, I mean Saijou." "Since she has that growling aura, we call her Garuru." "There is another one, right?" "Ah!" "Yukko." "Hashizume Yuko." "She was there, right?" "At last year's Regional competition." "Do you remember her?" "Yes." "She has talent." "She stood out alone, for both good and bad." "That's common for a high school drama." "Is it so?" "OK, then..." "We will hold a performance next time." "Please come to see it." "It'll be different from last year." "Is that so?" "Please do your best." "I think it's good." "But, you might want to move Hashizume to the last." "Yukko?" "You can't?" "I guess I can." "She isn't so steady, and now she seems a little off." "I knew it." "She knows." "But, is there another actress like her?" "I should be the one to believe in her." "No problem." "I understand." "And then, please teach us more strictly, until Performance day." "I think everyone can still do better." "Also, I'll be thinking about how to make lots of people come watch it." "OK." "Thank you." "I'll show you, Seishin High's Drama Club!" "What?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "You got the wrong character there." "That way it means "vanished"." "Really?" "You are the director?" "That's right." "Like Miyamoto Amon!" "I'm not like Miyamoto Amon." "Ninagawa Yukio?" "No..." "Why like an old man?" "Because..." "Everyone created it together." "Although I'm the director, I'm not doing it all by myself." "Sometimes I ask for the actor's opinions." "Everyone contributed their ideas." "This is wrong too." "No way." "You can have a seat anywhere you like." "Please enter here." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Fight, oh!" "Let's go then!" "Yes!" "Today, Fujigaoka High's Drama Club will be performing" ""Things About Us, the portraits of seven people."" "Thanks for coming." "Before the show, please take notice:" "Please switch off all devices that make any sound." "Then, please enjoy the show." ""Kato Akemi, the portrait of a father's hand."" ""My family consists of my father and mother."" ""I have no siblings."" ""My father works in a factory."" ""Every time he comes home,"" ""his face and hands are always so black from the oil."" ""I didn't really like this kind of father"" ""until I was a junior high student."" ""Your father forgot his lunchbox, can you take it to him?"" ""I don't want to!"" ""It's on the way to the school, right?" "Take it to him."" ""I didn't deliver it to him."" ""I didn't want to go to his factory."" ""When I realized it,"" ""there was a hand covered in oil, in front of my eyes."" ""My father's hand, that had been treating"" ""small parts in the factory."" ""Then I gently held that hand."" ""I held it tightly for the first time."" ""3!" "2!" "1!"" ""Match over."" ""Our team lost."" ""My family consists of a father who works at a paper mill,"" ""a mother who works as an administrator, in the same company,"" ""and a brother three years younger than me."" ""My father all of a sudden pulled over"" ""and stopped the car."" ""Father, where are you going?"" ""Father?" "!"" ""Behind my smiling father, there was a sea..."" ""...a red sunset floated there.""

""Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"" ""When grandpa gets older,"" ""the only one who could take care of him, is me."" ""That's why, I'm studying to become a nurse.""

""Here, Yukko." "Wear this hat."" ""Thanks, Mama!"" ""Then, we were off to the sea."" ""Papa made a special sand castle just for me."" ""He doesn't like the beach."" ""But he came all the way just to make a castle for me."" ""It was only for me, who always says,"" ""I want to be a princess!"" ""I will never forget it!"" "One, two..." "Thank you very much." "Warm-up finish." "Let's go from the head." "Do you have an objective?" "...as a team." "It's a competition, after all." "How bad you do want to win?" "Well, there's the option to avoid winning or losing, though." "I researched drama clubs in High Schools." "This is my perspective on the situation..." "You can probably win the district competition, even now." "Are you serious?" "From last year's video, you're no less than the rest." "You can do it." "Let's say we win the District competition in October, breaking through the Prefecture competition in November, then going to the Regional competition." "Regional competition, she said..." "Hypothetically speaking, OK?" "If that happens, you'll be constrained until January." "What do you mean?" "In other words, it will conflict with the entrance exam." "If you really want to win further than this, it won't just be fun." "You will need major commitment." "In the end, it could change how and what you do in life." "To be honest, I can't take that kind of responsibility, you know?" "I just want to know how you feel about it." "To tell you the truth..." "I want to go to the Nationals, with all of you." "Wait, Yoshioka." "Let's go to the Nationals!" "Again, for a moment," "I saw the Goddess." "Alright, that's enough." "This is just her personal opinion." "In case of going, Takahashi..." "I'm the advisor..." "Do you want to act on the Nationals?" "Or can you focus on being the director?" "That means," "Saori won't stand on the stage anymore?" "If you can't fulfill the responsibility of all roles," "I think you should stick to just one." "But, there is one problem." "The process can be however we want, but we still have to submit it." "You mean the script?" "Right." "Can you write it?" "Can't we use "Portraits"?" "It would be copycatting." "If you want to compete seriously, it must be your own script." "I need to reduce my work schedule." "Say something!" "Our life?" "That's serious!" "Can we really get there?" "To the Nationals?" "I'm hungry!" "Let's race!" "That's not good enough!" "How many times should I tell you?" "!" "Once again!" "Romeo!" "Romeo!" "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" "What the heck was that?" "Teacher!" "It's so hot!" "I'm going to get drenched and pass out." "Takahashi..." "This is all because you didn't write the script!" "I'm sorry!" "Was that a dream?" "What should I do?" "You, little weaklings!" "In case of such an eventuality," "I already have a trump card." "Master, please come in!" "Master!" "He's been playing "Romeo  Juliet" for 420 years." "This is Mr. Takita." "420 years!" "He's a monster!" "I can't do it!" "Juliet my soul." "What a great voice!" "Takahashi, you have the privilege of hearing his beautiful voice, right by your ear." "Master, please." "Oh, Romeo..." "Romeo!" "Wherefore art thou Romeo..." "ONCE AGAIN!" "GENIUS" "YOU DIDN'T WRITE THE SCRIPT!" "ENTRANCE EXAM" "NATIONALS" "LET'S GO" "NATIONALS" "I'M SORRY!" "I'm mentally ill." "Wait there, miss!" "This is yours, right?" "Wait, you!" "Wait, this is yours!" "Wait, wait!" "I'm sorry!" "You dropped this." "What are you doing?" "You're scaring her!" "No." "Papa, you're so loud." "That's right, your voice is so loud!" "No, it's you who is louder!" "You always make a big deal out of it!" "Can I ask you something?" "Is she your friend?" "Here you go." "Thank you." "How to write a script?" "This, I give it back to you." "Our teacher wants us to go to the Nationals." "Yesterday she said we should have a training camp." "Guess where?" "In Tokyo." "Tokyo, isn't that a bit too much?" "I wasn't expecting this at all." "Takahashi, why do you want to act?" "Teacher Yoshioka also asked me that." "I think the last performance was great." "Each character was utilized well." "Why don't you try the camp in Tokyo, and even going to the Nationals?" "Alright, then..." "Next week..." "There is a national competition, next week." "Why don't you go see it?" "It is possible to get involved as a volunteer." "You can also see behind the stage." "You'll learn something." "Bye." "Do you want to go together?" "Please." "Come with me." "To the competition." "High School theater is strange." "For example, if we win the competition in the Fall, the Nationals are not until the next year." "In other words, this year is a preliminary for next year." "So, even if we get a ticket to the Nationals, the senior students won't be able to stand on that stage." "However, the fact that I'm traveling with Nakanishi is stranger than anything else!" "It's hot." "Takahashi, it's here!" "I'm tired." "Let's go." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Thank you for coming today." "You will be helping with the setup of this place, today." "Please wear this ID card at all times." "Please share this between the two of you." "The way this school sets up their stage is amazing." "Only twenty minutes for preparation, then a sixty-minute performance." "Even exceeding one second, will disqualify them." "Awesome." "Hello?" "Welcome home." "Everyone is aiming for this level, right?" "Winning at the Nationals was the target last year, for Seishin High." "But we couldn't even get there." "So far away, even though we did our best." "Hey, why did you transfer to our school?" "You're aiming for it, right?" "The Nationals." "I have bad pronunciation, right?" "I didn't want to be everyone's burden anymore." "I felt that was enough for me." "In other words, I couldn't catch up with everyone's goal." "That's why you transferred?" "That's weird." "You haven't forgotten about acting, have you?" "Why do you try to be alone?" "You can't do a play by yourself..." "...even for a monologue." "My voice won't come out!" "Everyone desperately tries to cooperate with me." "But, it becomes a huge pressure." "I stopped going to school... and then, my worried parents said," ""How about you changing school?"" "That's why..." "That's why..." "I'm running away." "You asked me before, right?" ""Why do you want to act?"" "At first, I was just tagging along with Yukko." "Then, I observed the club and was told" ""Why don't you try reading the script?"" "So I read it." "Then I was praised." "I'm seldom praised by someone, so I was happy." "At the end, I joined the theater club." "That's why I don't understand anything, maybe." "But I know that it's fun." "It's also fun right now." "Because I can talk with everyone." "Being able to talk like this." "I didn't use to talk much before." "Thanks to acting, I can talk like this." "Then... it's like..." ""You can't do acting by yourself", I think." "I guess that's how I feel." "So..." "I didn't have a good reason to start it, but I don't have any reason to quit." "I maybe..." "No... absolutely." "...will be in the drama club, until the end." "What kind of declaration is that?" "I don't know." "I just wanted to say it." "Takahashi..." "But in the end, humans are all alone." "In this universe... all alone." "But here, there's the two of us." "Nakanishi, will you act again, with me?" "It's like "Galactic Railroad"." "Huh?" "Do you know "Night on the Galactic Railroad"?" ""I was thinking the same thing.""

"Who brought the bus?" "This is my papa's bus." "Saori, what are you doing?" "Do you like to travel?" "Sorry..." "I haven't slept well, because of teacher training." "Oh, I see." "Please rest well." "I..." "I have a very good shoulder to lean on." "You chose to turn away..." "Are you sure you don't want to use this?" "Hurry, let's go." "Yukko, %$#%%@..." "Okay." "Nakanishi!" "Takahashi!" "Nice to meet you." "She will join our club, starting today, Nakanishi Etsuko." "I'm Nakanishi, nice to meet you." "Yay!" "All energy, open!" "That's enough, Garuru." "It's embarrassing."

"Nice to meet you." "I'm Yoshioka." "I'm helping the theater club since this spring." "I'm Sugita." "I've heard a lot about you." "She seems different." "How was it?" "Was it a difficult story?" "It was very good." "Really?" "!" "I'm really sorry that I only got a small appearance." "Not at all, watching your acting..." "..." "I'm really moved." "Really?" "I'm glad." "What is that?" "It's moving." "It's kinda cute." "It's been a while." "Somehow, seeing everyone's faces..." "Afterall..." "She is doing her best, your senior." "Yoshioka?" "You are really Yoshioka!" "What are you doing here?" "No, it's..." "I heard that you quit!" "Sugi, let's clean up." "Yes." "Sorry, I need to go." "Will you please send me your impressions by email?" "See you." "Please!" "Sorry, I'll be back soon." "She really was a queen." "Nakanishi, do you also plan on coming to Tokyo and becoming an actress after graduation?" "Maybe..." "Do you have a boyfriend in your hometown?" "No." "I'm not interested right now." "How cute!" "Wait, wait, wait, what are you asking her?" "I'm really sorry about them." "Hey, you'll be left behind!" "Alright!" "Senior Yukko, there's so many people here, right?" "Awesome, this is the city." "Akemi, you're in a difficult situation." "It's so tall!" "You're right!" "Teacher." "This is not the way we came." "Just wait..." "We are here!" "Awesome." "We can't see the galaxy, but do you like it?" "Beautiful." "Isn't it?" "I kinda wanted to keep this place a secret, though." "This doesn't seem like you, teacher." "What do you mean?" "You don't think I know the city?" "I also lived in this city, not so long ago." "Going to university, working part-time, then going to rehearsal." "There's so many people like that, in this city." "More than there are stars." "And now, all of you are also a part of that." "If you think about it, how do you feel?" "Won't your heart become a little stronger?" "Yukko?" "The heart of our princess seems moved." "You're annoying!" "You aren't sleeping?" "How to put it..." "Maybe I'm excited." "I know." "Sorry." "Maybe I should say thanks, instead." "Why?" "Lines." "You gave me so many lines that I wanted to say." "Then, say them." "Keep saying them." "I will." "I will practice them to death." "...then I'll die." "You shouldn't die." "I'm sorry because of my jealousy." "Because I feel you are drifting away from me, and I feel like I'm falling behind." "That's not true." "Hey..." "Me or Nakanishi?" "Which one do you like?" "Huh?" "No, not in that way..." "OK, then..." "If you were in the cast, who would you want to co-star with?" "Yukko is Yukko." "Nakanishi is Nakanishi." "I'm the one who makes everyone look the best on the stage." "Right?" "What are you?" "An honor student?" "The Captain, you know?" "Then, I'll be... the one who best says, the lines that Saori wrote." "Also, the one who makes my co-star, look the best." "What?" "I didn't know you learned to say stuff like that." "What do you mean by that?" "Are you still awake?" "Did you go out?" "Yes." "I met with some friends from college." "They cheered me up." "Go to sleep." "Good night." "Lack of sleep isn't good for you, you know?" "Teacher Yoshioka is so pumped up after coming to Tokyo." "What happened?" "She smelled like cigarette." "It's Tokyo!" "It's Tokyo..." ""Two people on the spacecraft,"" ""and if only one of them can be saved,"" ""is it considered better for both of them to die together?"" "Please start from Giovanni's black hole." "Stop."

"Well, it's just that I really like rehearsals." "But I believe rehearsals are that important." "There will be a lot more rehearsals before the show." "Don't waste any time." "Believe in Takahashi." "Practice over and over again." "Yes!" "Thanks for the hard work..." "Let's clean up." "Thank you very much." "You worked very hard these three days." "I..." "Thank you..." "Teacher!" "About your question the other day, is it OK to answer it now?" "Question?" "About responsibility..." "It's OK, you don't have to be responsible for us." "You said it, right?" ""I can't take that kind of responsibility."" "I don't care if this changes the past or our future, because this is our life." "Right?" "There are still a lot of things that I don't understand." "Please take care of us from now on, too." "Please!" "Same here." "The last bus is here!" "We must hurry!" "Let's go." "Yes." "The summer holiday ended."

"What would teacher Yoshioka do?" "It is scheduled to start at 2 o'clock." "Sorry, it's time to prepare the props." "Then let's work on it on the rooftop." "Akemi..." "Yes?"

"I don't have a father, after all." "What do you mean?" "You have to accept some loneliness." "But it's not always that easy." "You also want to believe." "Even though I'm alone, I'm not alone." "Like that..." "Eh... sorry, eh?" "I told ya!" "Bring the script!" "...there are many things you can do." "Yes." "Actually, I want to apologize." "I'm the most useless one without teacher Yoshioka." "That's not true." "Actually, I'm scared." "I don't want to have a competition." "Oh..." "Please don't tell anyone what I said." "Sure." "I just want to keep moving forward towards a goal." "Because once we get to the destination, it may be the end." "I think somewhat like that, too." "If the time flies like this, the time when you have to leave, certainly will come." "It's cruel." "Someday you must quit from the club." "Time won't stop." "It's written in this book, right?" "Campanella dies, but Giovanni survives." "Giovanni has to live alone." "It's not just about life and death, it can be applied to all of us." "This girl is amazing." "She is totally different from me, when I was a junior." "I..." "I love you, Saori." "You mean... as a senior, right?" "Yes." "I was startled!" "What's this, all of a sudden?" "I was really surprised!" "Because I think so." "No, no." "Wait, wait, wait!" "It's not like that, come in." "Hakamada was also worrying about you, Akemi!" "You don't have to worry!" "You always take care of us, so..." "I'm fine, really!" "Akemi, you have everyone's trust, don't you?" "It's not like that, but I love Saori." "You are my number one." "No, that's fine..." "Right?" "I love Akemi." "This is for you two." "Let's everyone eat it." "What a good team." "Huh?" "Everyone loves being a part of this." "I'm jealous." "Jealous?" "You are one of us, right?" "Hey..." "Was this script your idea?" "I have that kind of feeling." "That's the director's..." "But, you helped her write it." "It's me who is jealous." "I can't do that kind of thing." "We always wan't something we can't have." "You know, we both are not complete, as a person." "Now you are being cocky!" "Wait!" "I wonder if "that person" intentionally made us partners." "Possible..." ""That person" is always looking at negative things!" "That's true, "that person"..."

"But, I want you all to know that you deserve my explanation on how I came to this decision." "That's why I'm writing this letter." "It was during the summer training camp in Tokyo." "When we observed a troupe there, a young director there told me that all of a sudden, he got a job, in a big production." "and that they were searching for an actress." "Of course I thought it didn't concern me." "But the director asked me to, at least, take the audition." "I then discussed it, with teacher Mizoguchi." "I participated in the audition, between my duties as a teacher." "Now that I think of it, at that time, it was already too late to stop my heart." "That audition was really fun." "First class staff, top grade directors..." "To join and create something with them..." "That is my greatest joy." "Then, I was selected." "Before I knew it, I was accepting the offer." "Deep inside, I don't think of myself as a teacher, but as an actor." "But, if you allow me to tell you my excuse..." "If I hadn't met all of you," "I wouldn't have thought about taking the audition." "By watching you," "I remembered the satisfaction of being in a play." "To my eyes, you were shinning that much." "All of you are really great." "When I told my mother about the decision," "She collapsed and totally opposed it." "I betrayed my mother." "I betrayed everyone, too." "But still," "I want to continue along this path with my acting." "I can't think of anything else, right now." "Club Captain Takahashi, you are far better than you think, as a director." "You'll be fine." "Absolutely fine." "I thought I could be with you until the prefectural competition, but it turns out I can't do that either." "Maybe, we won't be able to see each other again." "I'm sorry." "I'll do my best." "Please do your best." "I believe in everyone's power." "Yoshioka Misako." "Done." "She did tell me about this before." "For not telling you," "I'm sorry." "Umm..." "We are going, right?" "...to the prefectural competition." "Today, that's all." "Takahashi..." "This is for you." "「Dear Takahashi」" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Did you eat?" "I'm alright."

"By the way, a few days ago" "I watched the Regional Drama Competition." "Our school performed "Night on the Galactic Railroad."" "It was truly wonderful." "Did you write it, Takahashi?" "No, everyone did." "I see." "Anyway, it was wonderful." "It's said that author Miyazawa Kenji, was greatly influenced by relativity and the latest scientific discoveries of the time." "For example," ""ticket to go to the end of the universe"" "and "the black hole conversation, in the end", prove that." "The universe extends with the speed of light."

"About the script..." "About me, about everyone." "Sorry." "I wrote quite a lot of things." "So, I read it again." "I feel that we've come pretty far." "It was terrible at first." "I wanted to say, "Are you okay?"" "Well, the truth is we are not that different now." "I still want to say, "Are we okay?"" "I realized that I'm always thinking like that." "I wonder what is this... uneasy feeling?" "I thought of something today, during class." "If we're on the stage, we can go anywhere." "Imagination is limitless." "But... it feels like... we are not reaching anything." "As much as we walked..." "No." "Much faster than us, the universe and the world, are expanding." "No matter how far we've gone, in the end, it's just somewhere in nowhere." "We can't reach the end of the universe." "This is the feeling of uneasiness." "It's about us." "That's what I thought." "At first," "I wrote it desperately." "It started out as a bad script, but I wrote it, thinking of everyone." "It turned out..." "Turned out to be a script that's really compiling everything about us." "That's why I can't stop here." "Stopping here would mean throwing myself away." "I will continue."
