"I called you many times after that." "You just wouldn't answer." "Yagu!" "Fruit or strawberry?" "Strawberry!" "Aki-chan." "Blood was gushing out at first." "and an ambulance came." "That was Hacchan's first ride in an ambulance!" "all I needed was 3 stitches! since I heard Aki-chan was coming anyway" "I thought I'd try to give you a shock." "3 stitches?" "Did it work?" "right?" "Did you say something?" "Nope." "Another beer!" "Okay!" "too!" "coming up!" "I can't believe you did that." "How much do you think you made me worry?" "Don't make me remember 15 years ago." "That wasn't a joke at all." "Sorry." "And then!" "You could have just said you wanted to start the band." "You couldn't say it until something like that happened?" "That's not it." "Then why?" "Even though you thought I'd give you your wish." "How could I have known you wanted to start it again? you're just restraining yourself." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "I'm not restraining myself." "right?" "It's just.. I think it would just make me a selfish man." "You don't get it at all." "If I knew you understood things this poorly.." "I feel like.." "I'm going to cry." "Mom." "Restraining yourself like that." "I'm not restraining myself." "Hacchan." "Sorry." "You couldn't say goodbye." "I called her from the hospital." "It's okay. but I did manage to apologize." "Dumb Yagu!" "Dumb Yagu." "Dumb Yagu." "[Hirose and Yaguchi]" "Happy-chan!" "I made hashbrowns and sunny-side-up eggs!" "Happy-chan!" "Wow!" "Happy-chan!" "That's a mini skirt!" "So cute!" "That's rockin'!" "Did mom start early again?" "Yeah." "Thanks for the food." "This is great!" "Right?" "These potatoes are from that old lady Sasaki's garden." "too." "it's strong!" "So good." "Good morning." "Don't run!" "Sensei!" "Good morning." "Sorry!" "This ended up being late." "this is.." "you know" "I bought some avocado because of you." "My family said it might go with tuna." "We poured some soy sauce and added wasabi." "It wasn't sashimi anymore!" "Hello!" "The potatoes were good." "Thank you for everything." "No problem." "welcome home!" "Yagu curry!" "I'm home!" "welcome home." "Who is it?" "Where's Hatsuki?" "Tomato school." "Right." "[Find a job]" "She brought this in today." "Is this for financial reasons?" "There are a number of scholarship programs." "She could have fees exempted." "You don't need to concern yourself with that." "We can handle high school somehow." "Then you do want her to continue schooling?" "I've been teaching her to decide her future for herself." "Hatsuki-san is still a middle schooler. but shouldn't the school and the family cooperate to guide her for the sake of her future?" "Her grades are among the top of her year." "She could aim for any number of private or public schools." "Wouldn't it be a waste?" "Is your family properly communicating with each other?" "More or less." "I know I shouldn't stick my nose in private matters such as remarriage 24.78)}[she believes Aki-chan is divorced] but this is an important time. children learn from watching adults." "you don't know what kind of influence you will have." "The heads of the school are trying to ensure it doesn't become a problem for her." "it would be unfortunate." "The school" "Sensei." "Yes?" "I understand very well that you are thinking of Hatsuki like a teacher should." "I also understand that I should apologize for Yaguchi and that I wasn't able to attend the meeting." "Sensei.." "What exactly is your point?" "Are you concerned that she'll end up a failure like Yaguchi or myself?" "That she won't continue school and instead lead a wasted life?" "Is that it?" "no." "A life that isn't wasted would be eventually building a really nice house?" "and celebrating having lived a life that never needed any worry?" "A life like that is.." "to be perfectly clear" "worthless!" "Yagu curry!" "I'm home!" "What is it?" "Ogawa-sensei was here." "I see." "Hatsuki." "Are you serious about finding work?" "Yeah." "I'm going to save money and live on my own." "Why?" "Why?" "You're the one who told me to decide my future myself. but the one holding back isn't it?" "That's why I made the choice." "That's the most natural choice." "You could work less and enjoy life with Yagu." "too." "Hacchan!" "The God of Rock said that the world isn't all black and white." "I don't see what you mean." "Linda says that even rats are beautiful." "it was Hiroto." "singer is Hiroto]" "The God of Rock says that family-- rockin'"." "What is it?" "A rock?" "You can't translate it.." "Is there a part of life where black and white isn't enough?" "You're not even playing rock." "You're just doing pointless things." "Just living however you want." "I don't want someone who doesn't take life seriously telling me how a family should or shouldn't be." "Hatsuki!" "Cut it out." "I know you have your own things to deal with." "What?" "My own things?" "What do you think you know?" "what do you know?" "What do you know about me if even I don't know?" "I don't." "It's yours to know." "However" "Aren't you just dodging the things you should be dealing with?" "Aren't you just acting like a brat?" "I am." "What else can I do?" "I can't help it!" "I'm just a kid." "I still intend to do whatever I can for myself!" "That's why I decided to stop being a brat and live on my own!" "Just leave me be." "and enjoy your life together!" "That is obviously the best choice." "You definitely think that would make you the most happy!" "Hacchan." "But you just went too far." "Apologize to your mother." "Hacchan!" "Aki-chan." "I'm going to go." "I'll go find Hacchan." "right?" "Yeah." "Have you seen Hirose Hatsuki from 3rd year?" "I haven't." "Thanks." "Hatsuki." "The three of us used to come here a lot." "Can I sit?" "Hatsuki." "Did it hurt?" "Family".." "really?" "Words are difficult." "My.." "real father." "What kind of person was he?" "He was a nice guy." "too." "Do you want to meet him?" "It's fine." "This.." "isn't something I should tell you." "I thought I didn't need you." "You didn't matter to me." "I have thought about.." "a life where you weren't born." "I'm a failure of a mother for that. if she was never born?" "you know so pay attention." "I will never leave you behind." "Having a kid who thinks things that hurt that badly.." "how could I let you leave with that much sadness?" "Don't say anything silly like that again." "Mom." "Do you hate Yagu?" "he.." "very shortly after graduating middle school had both of his parents die in an accident." "He suddenly lost his family one day all at once." "Hacchan!" "You have to say goodbye and thank you while you still can!" "You have to say at least that while you can!" "Hacchan! he's kept the same smile he had when we met." "He's been facing his feelings as he goes on. you can't lie." "Not to other people or to your feelings." "You must never lie!" "You're just doing pointless things." "Just living however you want." "I don't want someone who doesn't take life seriously telling me how a family should or shouldn't be." "I'm so sorry." "He's longed for a family so much that it's possible he's scared of what could go wrong." "I want Yagu to keep smiling for me." "That's why if we were to get married and become family and that takes something from him" "then we don't need to do it." "I don't think that is what is important." "your name.." "Yagu gave it to you." "He held you while you were crying." "Happy-chan!" "She has to be Happy-chan!" "He said that without even asking." "She will make us happy!" "too!" "I said it would be a little embarrassing to call you Happy." "it's decided!" "We called you Hatsuhi for a while." "But it's so hard to say." "Yagu thought really hard and said "it'll be fine if we take "ki" from Aki-chan and call her Hatsuki!" "it'll be fine"?" "Why?" "Why?" "That's so spontaneous." "Right?" "You know it was!" "Happy-chan!" "Happy-chan!" "Aki-chan!" "let's get back and have some Yagu curry." "Yeah." "21.728)}[this letter's translation is at the end credits because it's long]" "Yagu!" "Aki-chan!" "MFG!" "42.881)}[1966 song "Farewell For Today" by Moriyama Ryouko - often the graduation song for middle school students]" "Let's stay friends forever without falling apart" "We'll dream of days to come and walk the path that leads us there" "We'll live free like the birds in the skies until we meet again" "Let's cherish the belief we'll find happiness until we meet again" "Until we meet again" "everyone!" "Welcome to Mission From God's reunion concert!" "so let me just talk for a bit." "We have some graduating students here so I went ahead and stole that nostalgic graduation piece!" "It's been a long time since we've had all the original members." "and our pretty and cool guitarist Aki-chan.." "have all entered our 30s!" "But!" "BUT!" "but we want to keep doing what we do!" "Thank you!" "There's one more." "There's something I want to tell you!" "Hurry up and say it!" "Aki-chan and I are getting married!" "Thank you!" "Thank you! Hacchan!" "I'm sorry you have to have a father like me!" "But" "We'll be fine!" "I've always been looking out for you." "I love you so much I don't know what to do! I've seen many kinds of families." "But we will be fine!" "I will make ours the best in the world!" "Hacchan asked me what "rock" is." "I thought about it seriously for the first time." "But.." "I'm an idiot." "I can't really put it into words!" "starting now" "I'm going to answer it." "I hope it reaches you." "This is dedicated to my beloved daughter who has taught me so much!" "This is a song I wrote when Happy-chan was born." "'you have wings'"!" "If you count all of the things that you've lost" "You'll be lost in more ways than there are stars" "Even though it can see you struggling" "The world will spin on without you" "A miracle came from the skies and in its loudest voice cried out "you've got wings"!" "Whatever is out there waiting for me" "Tell it I only have business with it if it's the real deal" "Even if you say "let's go back to the beginning" "This right here is the center of my world!" "So we must be happy" "You told me not to think too hard about things" "You said it in tears with that tiny body" "You taught me I'd forgotten about my wings" "That was in your crying voice" "It was your very first cry!" "That's why" "Let's all fly together!" "GO GO FLY GO" "Spread your wings!" "GO GO FLY GO" "Wipe off your tears!" "GO GO FLY GO" "We just have to sing!" "And that's all we need!" "And that's all we need!" "go fly!" "Let's go back and get everything you forgot" "The real meaning and the real words" "Nothing's really changed but have a look" "The world seems beautiful now!" "A miracle came from the skies" "And in its loudest voice cried out "you've got wings"!" "Every single person no matter how often they want they all have wings to fly!" "We only lost sight of that!"
