"It doesn't matter, does it?" "I guess it can't be helped." "Since today's a rest day for me," "I'll go take a look huh, Mum." "If you come I'II kill you." "Alright." "You know when's sunrise, right?" "." "Yeah." "Don't go '"yeah" on me." "4. 40 A. M." "Since it's that way, be sure to come back before four then." "I got it." "Don't go too far." "Yeah, yeah."

"It's okay." "You don't have to worry about that girl." "Her parents explained before." "Explained about what?" "." "How should I say this..." "XP is a kinda lika an allergy." "Those suffering from it will die if they're exposed to sunlight." "Eh?" "That's why she can only come out at night." "For whose sake am I living for?" "." "The cloudy days pass by."

"Yup, because the old one was getting too small." "Wow, as one would expect of you." "I think it's better not to touch it." "Kaoru'll find out." "Misaki-chan, I don't want to say this but..." "Don't ravage the stuff in the refrigerator." "I got it." "it's rare to find someone that can't even ride up to there, isn't it?" "." "It can't be helped since he kept on saying he liked surfing." "But it's quite cute that way, isn't it." "Hey, the sun... hasn't it risen a Iittle too much?" "." "It's already ten!" "No way!" "Kouji, get out, quick!" "You're gonna be late!" "What?" "."

"'" "That was totally unprofessional of you." "I guess so." "Hey." "You haven't talked to a guy since elementary school, haven't you?" "So, what's up with that guy?" "." "He probably goes to the same high school as me." "Yeah..." "Oh, I didn't know that..." "That's what you get for skipping school, idiot!" "Yeah." "Huh?" "." "As I was saying..." "You don't know anything about him." "Yeah, that's because i've only been looking at him from here." "I see..." "What kind of person is he, I wonder?" "I wonder if he's good at surfing?" "." "Then..." "Why don't you wear that suit that's hanging in the hall?" "No!" "If he sees me like that he'll hate me!" "Well, it can't be helped then." "It's been a long time since i last went to school, but I'll go and find out more details." "Really?" "Yup!" "Sorry for the wait." "If she doesn't want to come in person," "I can"t perform the medical examination." "I'm sorry." "She wouldn't come no matter what." "As usual, does she still hate the hospital that much?"

"Her condition hasn't gotten worse yet, isn't it..." "About the age at which you said we should get mentally prepared..." "She's already past that age." "Ah, I see." "Well then, excuse me for saying that." "I'll continue prescribing her medication." "About that, doctor." "I'm sorry, there still isn't a cure yet." "I see."

"Well, it seems these three guys..." "Always hang out together." "This one over here, friend number I is called Onishi Yuuta." "And this one over here, friend number 2 is Satou Haruo."

"You're the girl from that time, aren"t you?" "Yup." "Sorry for that time." "It's alright." "What're you doing out here this late?" "Just came back from my singing." "I often sing in front of the train station." "Ah, you're one of those who sing live on the street?" "Well, something like that." "Is that so?" "." "That was a nice song you were singing." "What's it called?" "." "I haven't decided yet." "You wrote it yourself?" "." "Yup." "Wow, that's incredible!" "Really?" "Is that a surfboard?" "Yup." "That's a cool-looking surfboard." "You know about it?" "." "Yeah." "Yeah!" "I bought this after looking around for a long time." "It's still the best after all." "Though it's second-hand." "What about yours?" "Huh?" "." "Is it also second-hand?" "." "Do you live around here?" "That tall house over there." "Oh, it's just over there." "I pass by along this road every day." "Yup, I know that." "Eh?" "You know about it?" "You always see me from up there, don't you?" "." "Yeah." "That's kinda embarrassing." "I can't do any weird stuff from now on." "Well then, I should get going soon." "Is that so?" "." "I see." "See you." "Yup." "Hey!" "If it's alright, I'll come the next time." "For your street performance." "Don't just say it and not come." "If if it's during the vacations, I'll definitely come." "This is your last summer vacation as a high school student" "Don't get carried away with play, concentrate on your books and work hard." "Understand?" "This vacation's critical." "Hey Mum." "Why is today's date circled?" "I don't know, I'm not the one who did it." "It's Kaoru then?" "For the me in this world, the summer vacations start today." "You scared me!" "What're you doing?" "Surfing, surfing..." "Now that the summer holidays have come, you're going out at night instead?" "." "Don't you have anything better to do?" "." "Didn't I say I was going to study?" "." "It's gonna be all guys, with Haruo and the rest." "Maybe I should go with you." "Don't come along!" "I'll call to check on you." "Call my cellphone instead." "Then be sure to keep it turned on!" "Thank you Kamakura!" "Thank you everyone, for coming to support me." "I'm Dynamite Yamazaki." "Please listen to two of my songs." "The song is" ""My name is Global Standard"!" "I, 2, 3, 4!" "What's this?" "My place got taken." "You always sing here?" "." "Even so, he's really awful huh." "Are you going to wait till he finishes?" "." "It can't be helped." "Even though i was really looking forward to this day..." "About that, singing." "Couldn't you sing elsewhere instead?" "Huh?" "." "It's my first time riding on a bike." "Really?" "That looks ridiculous." "Done!" "Shall we go?" "To where?" "I'll bring you to a good place." "Get on!" "We're moving off." "Let's take this opportunity to look at the town while we're here." "It looks like I've been thinking too much." "Since I can't fall asleep in this room," "I might as well try flying in the night." "Sighing by the window." "Under the moonlight, i feel like escaping to somewhere far away." "Even though it seems like I'm flapping my wings," "What should I do?" "I want to fly well" "I don't know how to fly" "I want to fly well" "If only someone would teach me how" "Don't wait too much for chances," "Every morning repeats itself" "I grow tired of counting them" "I'm going to draw the skyline" "I don't know how to fly" "I might be flying;" "I'm not sure" "I want to fly well" "But I'm going to try" "I want to fly well" "In order to learn how to fly" "I want to fly well" "I want to fly in the sky" "To skyline" "Because I want to meet you now." "That's what I decided." "This song in my pocket," "I want you to let you listen to it." "Raising the soft volume," "To make sure it's just right." "Oh good-bye days, now" "I feel it's going to change," "Until yesterday, so long unstylishly but staying gently by my side" "La la la la la - with you" "Passing you one side of my earphones" "Slowly, in that moment when the music starts flowing" "Do I have the ability to love you properly?" "." "But sometimes I'll get lost." "Oh good-bye days, now it's beginning to change, but deep inside my heart it's alright" "Hey." "In the future, isn't it your aim to release a debut CD?" "The future..." "That's right." "I'd like to try that." "You're incredible." "Unlike me who doesn't have anything." "Hm?" "." "I'II go on like this living an ordinary life, and in the end die an ordinary death." "That's not true." "From now on you can do anything." "Really?" "Yeah." "You'll definitely find out what you really want to do." "It's just started." "I see." "It's like that, isn't it?" "I'm too simple-minded." "I'm Fujishiro Kouji." "I don't have a girlfriend." "My hobby is surfing." "Will you go out with me?" "." "Yes." "It's about time." "The seaside here has a nice view when the sun rises." "Huh?" "." "Looking at it from here" "It'll only be about another ten minutes." "No way." "I'm not lying." "The next time you can come see it too." "Me riding the waves." "If I don't go back now..." "You still have a curfew after all this time?" "." "I..." "Please, I want to go back." "It'll just take a while more." "What's wrong?" "." "Wait up!" "I get it, I'll take you back." "I'm sorry." "Get on:" "Your guitar!" "Wait!" "Kaoru!" "Is she with you?" "I just sent here back." "Just?" "Just?" "Uncle, Aunt!" "Kaoru's back!" "What's going on?" "What're you doing?" "." "Do you want to kill her?" "." "How are you going to answer for it if she dies?" "Die?" "What?" "She's sick." "She might die if she's exposed to sunlight." "Huh?" "." "Is this from that time?" "Yes." "She'II be all right." "She'll be okay, doctor?" "." "This amount shouldn't be a problem, really." "That's great to hear." "There should be no ill-effects on your face and body." "If there isn't, tell me immediately." "She's fine." "What?" "." "Don't go "What'" on me!" "Who's that guy?" "You didn't mention anything about him." "I don't feel like taking about it." "You..." "Is it someone you like, Kaoru?" "." "It is, isn't it?" "Is that so?" "What's wrong with that?" "." "But it's over." "Huh?" "." "Though I thought it had nothing to do with my illness," "In the end, it's impossible for me to like somebody." "Don't worry." "We won't meet again." "The other party won't like a girl like me who's sick." "Don't say things like that." "It's not your illness, it's your personality." "He still has a future." "You have a future too, Kaoru." "Is that so?" "Yes, you have." "AII those pretty words again." "What about it?" "Even though I can't be cured?" "." "There's no such thing." "Then, look into my eyes when you say that." "I won't be deceived again." "I'm no longer a kid." "Who is it?" "." "It's me." "How're you feeling?" "." "What's wrong?" "." "Aren't you going to sing any more?" "You were singing so well too." "If you don't sing now, you'll never sing again." "I want to hear it one more time." "I..." "I'd be content if I could live an ordinary life." "That's all I ask." "Don't come again." "What?" "." "If you get involved with me, nothing good will come out of it." "Wait a minute:" "Excuse me..." "Yes?" "Ah... a surfing board, isn't it?" "Yes." "If I take it," "I'll pay you about 2000 yen." "Deal." "Is that so?" "You two go on ahead." "You don't want any more?" "You're the part-timer, aren't you?" "." "Yes." "Finish it before sundown." "Yes." "Ah... about that..." "Are you really going to pay me 20,000 yen?" "." "Of course, but it's not just one boat, but all of them." "You'll get the money only if you clean all of them." "if you're only doing this much that'll be about 6000 yen for today." "Well, work hard." "You're slow!" "What's with it, suddenly calling me out?" "Well, I thought that since it's you, you'd know." "About what?" "About her ex-boyfriend." "I don't know anything." "You haven't been punched in a long time, have you?" "All right, I'II tell you." "I know everything about it." "He's a local high school student?" "Yeah." "I see." "Say..." "What?" "." "What I say from now on..." "Judge it from the view of a high school student." "Huh?" "." "If I say anything about him, will Kaoru get angry?" "." "Of course she will!" "Don't pull me down along with you." "Then, if I asked him to see Kaoru," "Will Kaoru get angry?" "." "Huh?" "." "It's fine even if you lie to her." "Please do me this favour." "Will she be angry?" "." "Won't she be so hurt she'll cry?" "That's why, now..." "I want to go meet you" "That's what I decided" "The in my pocket..." "I want you to hear it" "At this soft volume" "Making sure it's right" "Kaoru, it's time for dinner." "I got it." "Heya, Kaoru!" "This plate is fine, right?" "Yo." "Sorry for intruding." "Thanks for the food." "Thanks for the food!" "Thanks for the food." "Ah, thank you." "You don't usually eat so much, do you?" "Oh, sorry." "I totally can't understand what you're saying." "Don't worry about it." "Fuji-kun, don't hold back." "Ah, thank you for the food." "All of them look delicious." "You're really a nice lad." "No way." "No, it's true, you're a really nice kid." "Eat this, eat this." "Thank you, I'II be eating then." "Isn't there something wrong?" "Isn't it strange like this?" "." "Whose idea was this?" "Your Dad invited me here." "Dad!" "What did you say to Fujishiro-kun?" "Don't get angry." "I'm not particularly angry." "What's with this?" "." "What are you planning do to?" "We didn't intend to hide it from you." "Here." "No matter what," "I want to hear your song once more." "But because I'm not too smart," "I could only think of such an idea." "I've only started working part-time," "I don't have any savings at all." "If it's about money," "I can settle it." "Really?" "Yeah." "I think it's better for you not to get involved." "Why?" "This is my own decision." "I want to see it through to the end by myself." "I see." "What do you think?" "Don't you have any interest in improving your voice?" "I did it." "I never thought you would think so far for me." "You flatter me..." "Thank you." "Can someone like me really..." "I don't think I'm capable of such a thing." "I..." "Ah, did I say something wrong?" "I like you." "What?" "." "Even if you stay like this..." "Let's meet up at night then." "You can sleep in the day." "When the sun sets I'll come see you." "Yup." "Huh?" "." "Hey." "What?" "." "Are you crying?" "I'm not crying, you idiot." "You're crying, aren't you?" "." "I said I'm not crying." "let me see your face." "Don't cry!" "Smile!" "What a weird face." "That's too much." "What's wrong?" "." "I'm just a little tired." "I'Il go find us something to eat." "Oh!" "That looks good." "The brain has started to contract." "The XP symptoms of nervous disorder are starting to appear." "Most likely in the near future," "Her whole body will be paralysed." "And..." "You're going to say she's going to die, isn't it?" "But isn't it strange, doctor?" "What is?" "I didn't even let it happen once," "I never let her go under the sun." "She always said she wanted to go out when she was a child." "No matter how much she cried and screamed," "I'd give her a slap" "And lock her in the house." "But why?" "Why did it have to happen like this?" "How do I say this..." "I did all I could." "Was it all for nothing?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why does my daughter have to suffer this kind of fate?" "." "it'll be better if it was a shock I wasn't prepared for." "It's been hard on you." "Kaoru." "Fujishiro-kun's here." "Kaoru?" "I'm coming in." "Yo." "Yeah." "How're you doing?" "." "I'm sorry." "What?" "." "Even though you went out of the way to get a job..." "I can't sing any more." "I'm sorry." "I didn't do anything weird, did I?" "Huh?" "." "You can see me from here, isn't it?" "." "Yeah." "What weird things are you taking about?" "Like digging my nose, for example." "No, you didn't." "What about doing handstands or doing reports?" "No, no." "Ah, then did you hear any weird noises?" "No, I didn't." "Is that right?" "." "That's great to hear." "The first time I saw you," "What?" "." "The Fujishiro Kouji who was just like a kid." "At that time you seemed so happy." "Looking at you from here, I also felt happy." "You saw it." "Yeah, I was also like that." "The first time I got a guitar in my hands," "I was as delighted as you were." "I see." "Thank you." "Sure." "Well, till next time." "Yup." "Hey!" "Even though my hands are like this now," "You can still listen to my voice." "Can you hear it?" "." "Yeah, I can." "If that's the case, I'II sing." "Because I'll sing." "See you." "Wow, it's so pretty." "You don't have to be so surprised over such a thing." "It's pretty isn't it." "It's great, huh." "Wow, it's really like a debut..." "It'll be okay!" "Yeah." "Well, let's get started soon." "please." "Good luck!" "We'll be watching from over here." "I'll get distracted, so please leave." "What?" "." "You'll get in the way." "You..." "You've never let me listen to this song before." "Please follow what she says, Uncle." "I'll be here to listen to her." "You too, please leave." "Eh?" "Why me too?" "isn"t it better if you hear it after the CD comes out?" "Why?" "AII right, all right" "Then, everyone, let's all leave, shall we?" "What?" "Me too?" "." "Come on now..." "Don't ask any more questions and quickly leave." "Well, shall we get started?" "Yes." "Did you write this song?" "Yes." "It's a good song." "Really?" "Thank you so much." "Let's work hard today." "Yes!" "Let's do it then." "You can't hear anything." "What?" "." "Settle down, both of you." "Will it be fine?" "." "It hasn't started yet, has it?" ".." "What hasn't?" "Because I don't hear any sound." "That's because she's not a professional." "She's a professional." "She's as good as one." "I was also surprised when we went to Yokohama." "When she sings," "Everyone'd gather around her." "If it was someone ordinary, they'd have been too frightened to sing." "As the number of people increased," "She'll become more lively." "Without realising it," "I'd become one of her fans." "I feel once this CD gets made, it'll be sold out immediately." "Major record companies, television and radio broadcasters" "will be rushing to get her CD." "She'll definitely be a great star in the future." "What's wrong?" "." "It's getting a little hot." "Is the fan at the back turning?" "If you feel it's troublesome," "Take it off then." "What?" "." "Take it off, take it off." "If you take it off it won't be hot any more." "And you can run around." "I don't want to." "If I do that, I'll die." "Because" "I've decided to live on till I die." "Because I'm going to live on with all my might." "That's right." "I don't know what's with your Dad." "He's being an idiot." "That's right." "I'm sorry." "Is it all right?" "She always made a big fuss about wanting to go outside." "She's a girl that has been living in this kind of darkness." "I didn't realize she'd already grown up so much." "How about it?" "I came." "What a weird face." "Shortly after that," "She passed away." "Leaving behind only countless memories and the song she loved." "That's why now," "I'm coming to meet you." "That's what I decided." "The song in my pocket," "I want to let you listen to it." "Raising the volume softly," "To make sure it's just right." "Oh good-bye days, now" "It had been unchanging" "Until only yesterday, so long unstylishly but staying gently" "by my side, that's why" "La la la la la - with you" "Passing you one side of my earphones" "Slowly, in that moment when the music starts flowing" "Do I have the ability to love you enough?" "But sometimes I get confused." "Oh good-bye days, now" "It's beginning to change, but deep inside my heart it's alright" "Unstylishly but staying gently by my side, that's why" "La Ia Ia la la - now with you" "If I could," "I don't want to think about the sadness" "But you'll definitely turn up, won't you?" "." "At that time," "With a smile," ""Yeah hello my friend", how shall I say this?" "." "or would that be ok..." "When I'm humming the same song" "I wish I was by your side" "I'm glad I met your uncool brand of kindness" "La Ia la la Good-bye days"
