00:00:52:She's here.
00:01:05:She's here.
00:01:20:Airport
00:02:25:MEGANE (GLASSES)
00:03:49:Please have some shaved ice.
00:03:57:No thank you.
00:04:50:Do you have a reservation?
00:04:55:Right. This is Hamada.
00:05:01:You got here fast.
00:05:07:I'm Yuji. And that's Koji.
00:05:15:Come in.
00:05:18:I'll get that later.
00:05:22:Come in.
00:05:39:With a big sign,|I'll get too many customers.
00:05:42:This works fine.
00:05:50:HAMADA
00:06:03:That way's the beach,|and that's the town.
00:06:06:That's about all you'll need to remember
00:06:11:Enjoy your stay.
00:06:15:By the way, there's no|cell phone reception here.
00:06:19:If you need to call anyone,|please use our phone.
00:06:23:OK.
00:06:53:We haven't had a spring guest|in three years.
00:07:01:I'm surprised you found us.
00:07:03:What?
00:07:04:The maps I draw aren't so good.|Most people get lost.
00:07:11:Some people wander around|for more than two hours.
00:07:15:Two hours?
00:07:18:I try to make them clear...
00:07:22:Anyway, I can't handle|any more guests, so this is fine.
00:07:32:You're the first guest in|three years who didn't get lost.
00:07:41:That takes talent.
00:07:46:The talent to be here.
00:08:07:Are you hungry?
00:08:09:Yes, a little.
00:08:11:Really? Then, let's go.
00:08:16:A special guest is here today, so|we'll all eat together outside.
00:08:28:No thank you.
00:08:32:Oh, really?
00:08:35:Then help yourself to|whatever's in the fridge.
00:08:41:I'll see you later.
00:08:49:Bye.
00:11:35:Good morning.
00:11:37:Huh?
00:11:42:It's morning.
00:11:46:It's another beautiful day.
00:15:18:Good morning.
00:15:19:I knew you'd come.
00:15:22:What are you doing?
00:15:24:Our "merci" exercises.
00:15:26:"Merci"?
00:15:28:Care to join us?
00:15:31:Give it a try.
00:15:32:No thank you.
00:15:35:OK.
00:16:20:Breakfast is ready.
00:17:10:Alright, let's eat!
00:17:13:All these vegetables were|picked this morning.
00:17:17:I partake.
00:17:23:I partake.
00:17:57:What were those exercises?
00:18:01:The "merci" exercises?
00:18:02:What?
00:18:03:Sakura-san made them.|We do that every morning.
00:18:07:Every morning?
00:18:09:Right.
00:18:10:Our spring days can't start|without them, can they?
00:18:16:Every morning...
00:18:28:I make those pickled plums|every year.
00:18:33:This year's are better than|last year's, I guess...
00:18:45:They're exquisite.
00:18:51:They say"Plums ward off danger."
00:18:53:If you eat one in the morning,|you'll avoid trouble all day.
00:18:59:"Pickled plums and friends:|the older, the better, " they say.
00:19:04:But I don't know,|I don't have many old friends.
00:19:11:"The plum trees are fragrant,|the cherry blossoms beautiful."
00:19:17:"Plum and cherry blossoms|in both hands."
00:19:22:What's that mean?
00:19:24:That's how I feel now.
00:19:34:I'd like to do some sightseeing today.|Do you have any recommendations?
00:19:40:Sightseeing?
00:19:44:Around here?
00:19:45:Yes.
00:19:53:There's nothing to see around here.
00:20:00:So, what do your guests|usually do?
00:20:07:They"twilight."
00:20:12:'Twilight"?
00:20:23:'Twilighting"...
00:20:42:'Twilighting"...
00:21:24:No way.
00:21:45:That was delicious.
00:22:12:Thank you.
00:22:14:Thank you.
00:22:26:Please have some shaved ice.
00:22:28:I'd prefer something cold to drink.
00:22:32:All she has is shaved ice.
00:22:37:There's nothing else here|but shaved ice.
00:22:46:Is she a guest at Hamada?
00:22:49:Oh...
00:22:59:Already?
00:23:02:Oh, I wanna die!
00:23:05:There aren't any cute boys|in myy new class.
00:23:10:Thank you.
00:23:11:Thank you.
00:23:18:Please have some shaved ice.
00:23:20:No thank you. I really|don't like shaved ice.
00:24:47:It's time for dinner.
00:24:53:Sorry to bother you|while you're "twilighting".
00:24:57:Oh no, I'm not "twilighting".
00:25:01:Dinner is ready.
00:25:05:Do we all have to eat|together every day?
00:25:09:No.
00:25:10:Then I'll wait. I'm not hungry now.
00:25:13:That's fine.
00:25:32:Koji was eating something strange.
00:25:37:He'll eat anything!
00:25:40:Are you listening?
00:25:41:Yes, I am.
00:25:43:Really?
00:25:45:Are you?
00:25:51:Oh, please, sit down.
00:25:54:Haruna brought some good meat,|so I thought we'd have a barbeque.
00:25:59:I didn't want to bother you|while you're "twilighting".
00:26:03:'Twilighting"?
00:26:05:Delicious!
00:26:08:Wiill you join us?
00:26:11:Yum!
00:26:15:I'll have some.
00:26:22:Here you are.
00:26:55:Isn't it good? Help yourself
00:27:21:Is "twilighting" some kind of|custom around here?
00:27:26:Oh, no! Just a habit.
00:27:30:Habit?
00:27:31:I guess we're all good at it.
00:27:38:I get that impression.
00:27:40:You mean you're not?
00:27:42:No, not really.
00:27:45:That's unusual.
00:27:47:It is?
00:27:49:Most people who come here|at this time of year are good at it.
00:27:55:I know I am. And he's amazing.
00:27:58:And Sakura-san, well...
00:28:02:I guess I do it naturally,|just watching the sunset.
00:28:06:Huh?
00:28:07:'Twilighting" while watching the sunset?
00:28:10:That's a little...
00:28:14:What?
00:28:16:Ordinary.
00:28:27:Is there anything else to do|besides "twilighting"?
00:28:30:Is there?
00:28:33:Hmm...
00:28:38:But if you don't "twilight",|why did you come here?
00:28:54:This and that.
00:28:57:Huh.
00:29:09:Oh well,
00:29:10:we don't have much, but|we have good meat and fish!
00:29:15:And now,
00:29:16:we have Sakura-san's shaved ice, too.
00:29:22:I don't like shaved ice.
00:29:31:Yum!
00:29:54:Good morning.
00:30:01:It's morning.
00:30:07:It's another beautiful day.
00:30:09:Um...
00:30:11:Yes?
00:30:14:Do I have to be woken|like this every morning?
00:30:19:No.
00:30:21:Then, I'd prefer you didn't.
00:30:26:Sure.
00:31:09:No way.
00:31:24:Oh, we started without you.
00:31:29:Huh?
00:31:31:I'd like to check out today.
00:31:35:What?
00:31:36:I need a change,|so I'm staying somewhere else.
00:31:39:Thanks for everything.
00:31:41:Oh, really?
00:31:42:I heard there's a lodge out east.
00:31:44:Marine...
00:31:47:Marine Palace?
00:31:48:Yes, that one.
00:31:50:Marine Palace?
00:31:52:Marine Palace...
00:31:59:I don't think you can|"twilight" there...
00:32:03:I didn't come here to "twilight".
00:32:07:But, you know...
00:32:08:I'm going there.|Please give me directions.
00:32:12:Right now?
00:32:13:Yes, now.
00:32:14:What about breakfast?
00:32:23:At least have pickled plums.|They "ward off danger"...
00:32:26:No thank you.
00:32:38:See you.
00:33:21:That's a pretty big suitcase.
00:33:24:Do you think so?|I just brought what I needed.
00:33:28:What you needed?
00:33:30:Some books I wanted to read.
00:33:32:Books?
00:33:34:But you can't read them here, can you?
00:33:39:Sakura-san comes here|every year with just one little bag.
00:33:44:Like she's just going out shopping.
00:33:48:Every year?
00:33:53:How are Yuji and Sakura-san related?
00:33:58:What do you think?
00:34:01:Are they siblings?
00:34:04:Married?
00:34:06:What?!
00:34:08:Why on earth would you think that?
00:34:11:You sure are clueless.
00:34:15:Then how are they related?
00:34:18:It's really amazing.
00:34:28:When you say she comes every year...
00:34:32:you really mean every year?
00:34:34:Sakura-san comes here every spring.
00:34:39:From where?
00:34:41:I wonder...
00:35:02:Huh?
00:35:05:We're supposed to turn right somewhere,|but I don't see a turn...
00:35:14:- Could you look at this?|- Sure.
00:35:20:Um, I don't think...
00:35:23:No, you'd be surprised.|It'll get us there.
00:35:28:"When you start to feel lost,
00:35:31:"keep going a couple more minutes.
00:35:34:'Then take a right."
00:35:36:Oh, I get it.
00:35:54:Oh, it's time for school.
00:35:57:What?
00:35:58:Late again.
00:36:00:The fourth time this month.
00:36:02:School?
00:36:04:I'm always late.
00:36:42:- OK, I'll be going now.|- Thank you.
00:36:51:You'll probably be OK.|It'll be a change.
00:36:55:See you.
00:37:28:Marine Palace
00:37:38:Welcome! Just you?
00:37:42:It's OK, don't worry!
00:37:45:Let's go. OK?
00:37:49:Come, come!
00:37:52:Come! This way!
00:38:19:Here you go!
00:38:22:We work the fields in the morning.|Then we'll study in the afternoon.
00:38:26:Study?
00:38:28:Here, we all work together|and trust each other.
00:38:33:We walk on the earth,|pay our respects to nature,
00:38:37:to the sun,
00:38:38:and to all things in the universe.
00:38:42:That's our philosophy.
00:38:46:Philosophy?
00:38:48:It makes our food truly heavenly.
00:38:53:Do you understand?
00:38:56:Of course you do!
00:42:20:I wonder if she's OK...
00:42:58:I should've eaten breakfast.
00:48:53:Good morning.
00:48:55:Good morning.
00:49:22:Good morning.
00:49:23:Good morning.
00:49:25:Rough night, wasn't it?
00:49:27:I apologize for the trouble.
00:49:30:No worries. Let's have breakfast.
00:49:42:I partake.
00:49:44:I partake.
00:50:18:Want to join our"merci" exercises?
00:50:22:Yeah, let's start tomorrow. OK?
00:50:25:No, I...
00:50:27:You were doing it earlier.
00:50:29:What? What do you mean?
00:50:32:You know you were.
00:50:34:No I wasn't.
00:50:42:Haruna, if you're not a guest,|why do you always eat here?
00:50:52:I saw you last night,|riding on her tricycle.
00:50:58:You didn't answer myy question...
00:51:00:You were riding on|the back, weren't you?
00:51:04:Yes, I was.|Is there a problem?
00:51:11:If I had the chance,|I'd like to ride on it too.
00:51:16:What?
00:51:28:Taeko, why did you come here?
00:51:32:You must have a reason to come|here alone this time of year.
00:51:37:You're not even good at "twilighting".
00:51:41:Could it be...
00:51:46:Well...
00:51:55:I wanted to come...
00:52:01:where there was no cell phone reception.
00:52:09:That's it?
00:52:10:Is that wrong?
00:52:12:That can't be it. It can't be.
00:52:16:No way.
00:52:17:That's not a good enough reason?|Do I need a better one?
00:52:27:Of course not. That's fine.
00:52:31:That's right.|Your cell phone doesn't work here.
00:52:36:Nice, isn't it?
00:52:44:Please, have some more.
00:52:49:"Pickled plums..."|What was it again?
00:52:52:"Plums ward off danger."
00:52:54:I'll have one.
00:53:01:Ooh! Sour!
00:53:15:Oh, I'm late again!
00:53:19:Excuse me.
00:53:22:I'll see you later!
00:53:23:Be careful!
00:53:25:See you!
00:53:27:Haruna teaches biology|at the high school.
00:53:30:She does?
00:54:44:Hello.
00:54:52:Hello.
00:55:02:Do you have a reservation?
00:55:04:No.
00:55:20:Professor!
00:55:23:Why are you here?
00:55:26:I tracked you down.
00:55:30:Beer?
00:55:33:The owner's recommendation.
00:55:38:Professor,
00:55:40:beer tastes great ere...
00:55:54:How did you find this place?
00:55:57:Because I'm constantly thinking of you.
00:56:02:You're kidding.
00:56:03:I am.
00:56:07:Didn't you get lost|coming from the airport?
00:56:11:Not at all.
00:57:09:The lobster.
00:57:17:Here.
00:57:19:I almost forgot about it.
00:57:21:You did?
00:57:22:Alright, let's eat.
00:57:25:Cheers!
00:57:27:Cheers!
00:57:37:I partake.
00:58:05:Excellent!
00:58:27:Who is he?
00:58:29:I wonder...
00:59:27:"Haru no umi hinemosu|notari notari kana."
00:59:43:Professor, do you know|what hinemosu means?
00:59:47:Maybe...
00:59:49:It means"all day."
00:59:53:The spring ocean just nods off all day.
01:00:03:Yomogi?
01:00:05:Yes?
01:00:07:When are you leaving?
01:00:09:Not for a while!
01:00:11:How long will you be here?
01:00:19:Till I've had enough.
01:00:28:Professor.
01:00:30:Yes?
01:00:32:This place is great for beer,|but also for "twilighting".
01:00:42:I'm good at it.
01:01:03:HAMADA
01:01:21:Excuse me...
01:01:23:Yes?
01:01:25:Does "twilighting" take|any special skill?
01:01:32:Skill?
01:01:37:Well, just reminisce on your past,
01:01:42:or think about someone.|That's about it, I think.
01:01:47:That's it?
01:01:49:That's right.
01:01:53:So do you think about someone?
01:01:57:Me?
01:01:59:Oh no! I just...
01:02:04:I just spend myy time here waiting.
01:02:07:For what?
01:02:10:For time to pass, I guess...
01:02:17:But if I hadn't experienced|the shaved ice that day,
01:02:22:I don't think Koji and I|would be here now.
01:02:27:Koji likes to bury important things.
01:02:32:But then he forgets what they are.
01:02:36:I like that about him.
01:02:39:Really?
01:02:44:You should try it.
01:02:48:Sakura-san's shaved ice.
01:03:16:Thank you.
01:03:17:Thank you very much.
01:03:21:Thank you.
01:03:30:Thank you.
01:03:32:OK.
01:03:36:Here.
01:03:37:Thank you.
01:03:40:Come again.
01:03:43:Bye-bye.
01:03:54:Thank you.
01:03:56:Thank you very much.
01:04:12:Please have some shaved ice.
01:04:17:- Yes, please...|- Yes, please.
01:06:10:Here you go.
01:06:11:Thank you.
01:07:16:No fair!
01:07:29:Oh, I wanna die!
01:07:31:If there aren't any cute boys,|I have no reason to live.
01:07:36:Shouldn't you be at school?
01:07:39:Not now. It's break time.
01:07:41:Even hard workers|need a break sometime.
01:07:45:Right?
01:07:47:Definitely.
01:08:48:No fair!
01:10:23:The best shaved ice of myy life.
01:10:35:Um, how much is this?
01:10:41:The ice?
01:10:46:The ice salesman just|gave me some ice.
01:10:52:For the shaved ice?
01:10:54:Yes.
01:10:57:How about that girl?
01:11:12:For the shaved ice?
01:11:19:Really...
01:11:24:What should I give?
01:11:33:What do you give her, Haruna?
01:11:36:Yuji and I play the mandolin.
01:11:39:The mandolin?
01:13:49:Catch anything?
01:13:51:Nope.
01:14:36:Is something wrong?
01:14:42:The beans.
01:15:27:It's important not to rush.
01:15:55:As long as you don't rush...
01:15:58:eventually...
01:17:25:Taeko, what kind of person are you?
01:17:29:No one, really.
01:17:34:Are you just traveling alone?
01:17:37:What's wrong with that?
01:17:41:For how long?
01:17:45:Till I've had enough.
01:17:49:I hope that happens soon.
01:17:54:What?
01:18:02:What's that?
01:18:06:What are you making?
01:18:09:Nothing.
01:18:11:Nothing? You don't know|what you're making?
01:18:15:What's the problem?
01:18:17:There's no problem...
01:18:22:Haruna, can I make you something?
01:18:24:Me?
01:18:26:A hat? Gloves?
01:18:28:No, not really...
01:18:29:Just say it. I'll make you anything.
01:18:32:No thank you.
01:18:42:You're very good at that.
01:18:46:They say weaving yarn also|involves weaving the air.
01:18:54:Your weaving is very pretty.
01:19:02:I guess you're right...
01:19:07:Everytime I weave,
01:19:10:it's pretty, but boring.
01:19:14:I didn't say that.
01:19:18:Boring, isn't it?
01:19:21:I didn't say it's boring!
01:19:26:There's nothing wrong with pretty!|It's not boring at all.
01:19:32:There's nothing boring about it.
01:19:43:Why are you laughing?
01:22:04:Is that morning glory?
01:22:06:It's convolvulus.
01:22:12:Oh, this is gerbera, right?
01:22:14:That's blue daisy. Are you kidding?
01:22:18:No, I'm serious.
01:22:32:What does Sakura-san do for a living?
01:22:35:- For a living?|- When she's not here.
01:22:38:Why do you ask?
01:22:40:I was just curious.
01:22:44:She teaches yoga in Tibet.
01:22:47:Yoga?
01:22:48:And opera in Prague.
01:22:51:Opera?
01:22:53:Maybe. I don't know!
01:22:59:Even if I knew, what would it matter?
01:23:04:You're the one who rode on her tricycle!
01:23:09:Professor, you rode on|Sakura-san's tricycle?
01:23:14:Yes. Why?
01:23:17:Luckyy you.
01:23:58:Catch anything?
01:24:01:No.
01:24:36:Ever heard of planaria?
01:24:42:They're tiny creatures with cute eyes.
01:24:45:If you cut their heads or tails,
01:24:49:they might grow a new one,|or split into two.
01:24:55:They are highly regenerative.
01:25:00:We're studying them in our class now.
01:25:09:So they don't die, those...|What do you call them?
01:25:13:Planaria.
01:25:16:That's right.
01:25:18:They just might... live forever.
01:25:23:Isn't that amazing?
01:25:28:Probably.
01:25:33:But not for me.
01:25:59:Hello.
01:26:19:Care for some beer?
01:26:22:Sure.
01:26:39:Professor?
01:26:41:Yeah?
01:26:44:A trip may start on a whim,|but it won't last forever.
01:26:53:I know.
01:27:00:Professor.
01:27:02:I'll be leaving soon.
01:27:06:How about you?
01:27:32:I know what freedom is.
01:27:37:Walk straight along the road.
01:27:41:Stay away from the deep ocean.
01:27:45:I left your words behind.
01:27:53:The moon will bathe|any path with light.
01:27:57:The fish in the darkness|are like diamonds.
01:28:05:Someone clled me human|by cincidence, so here I am.
01:28:14:What was I afraid of?|What was I fighting?
01:28:19:It's about time for me to|drop my heavy load.
01:28:27:Give me morestrength,
01:28:32:strength to be kind.
01:28:37:I knowwhat freedom is.
01:28:42:I knowwhat freedom is.
01:29:27:Thank you.
01:29:31:Thank you.
01:29:32:You're welcome.
01:29:34:Bye-bye.
01:30:02:I wouldn't mind|if the world ended.
01:30:07:That's what I thought,|until I came here.
01:30:18:What is it about this ocean?
01:30:23:What could it be...
01:30:32:Maybe it's because there's nothing.
01:30:38:Is there something you want?
01:30:42:What?
01:31:15:It's huge!
01:31:19:What happens when a person dies?
01:31:25:Same as this fish.
01:31:27:If you die once, you'll never die again.
01:32:30:This is for the shaved ice.
01:32:39:What is it?
01:32:42:I wonder...
01:32:49:Some kind of knit...
01:32:52:What is it?
01:32:55:But it's almost summer.
01:34:56:Good morning.
01:34:59:Good morning.
01:35:01:Where's Sakura-san?
01:36:25:I know my plums|will be better next year.
01:36:32:Mmm! Sour!
01:36:40:"Plums ward off danger", right?
01:37:03:Thank you very much.
01:37:05:Take care.
01:37:50:Huh?
01:37:53:We're supposed to turn right somewhere,|but I don't see a turn...
01:38:01:Could you look at this?
01:38:06:"When you start to feel lost,|go another 80 meters and turn right."
01:38:13:Oh, I get it.
01:38:30:They're useful|once you get used to them.
01:38:33:These maps.
01:38:36:But they're not for everyone.
01:38:40:Probably.
01:38:43:When you first came to Hamada,|did you get lost from Yuji's map?
01:38:49:No.
01:38:51:You're the first since me.
01:38:57:Did Yuji tell you that you had talent?
01:39:03:'The talent to be here."
01:39:05:Right.
01:39:09:Is that a good thing?
01:39:12:Maybe.
01:41:22:She's here.
01:41:38:She's here.
