What's up with that teddy bear?
That one?
My dad gave it to me when I was three,
I don't really remember but that's what mom said,
I take it with me when I go out,
Like in waiting areas and such, I play with it,,,
,,,always,
Well it's not because dad bought it,
it's just that you don't lose toys as easily as pets,
Does it have a name?
Yeah,
Ku-Chan,
Pretty straightforward, right?
It used to be really cute,
Where are you?
Yamada-kun?
"I drive around Tokyo,"
"every station has a pretty girl,"
"But on a tram that's only three minutes away,"
"there's never any time to kiss,"
- "Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka,,," - Hey,
Isn't there a play about diving in the sea?
Ah ya,
I heard there's a girl in the water,
Seriously?
Seriously!
Said to be the soul of girl who died in the sea,
Seriously?
- Isn't that something? - It is,
- I heard it can be seen at certain times, - No way!
Have you seen it?
Me?
I think I may have,
- Seriously? - Yeah,
Scary,
- Way scary, - Yeah,
Wakakusa-San,
Yes?
Can you smell the sea?
There's a river in our town,
It's wide and runs close to the harbour,
It stinks,
A wasteland lies by the river's beach,
I often see the body of a dead cat there,
No entry, danger, do not enter!
Pochi,
Where are you?
It's time to go home,
Pochi,
Oh there you are,
You were playing there,
What you got in your mouth?
What is it? Found something good?
What did you find?
I wonder what this is?
Well then, let's go home,
Go home,
Rumi, that's a Lancome mascara,
Yeah, Kato bought it for me,
38 years old,
Ask Takahashi to buy one for you,
No way!
Jaaa,,,
Haruna, did it go well yesterday?
I went home after watching TV, My mom got angry,
There's Kannonzaki,
Gooood Morning!
What's been going on with Kannonzaki and Haruna lately?
Don't know,
Haruna's too tight-lipped,
It's not like it's a secret,
It's okay to say Kannonzaki's cool and handsome,
I don't like Kanno, Haruna doesn't go for looks,
What the hell's wrong with you?! What did you do to Yamada,,,?!
What the,,,
You stuffed him in a locker!
How did you know about that?
Ryo told me,
Damn that Takahashi,
It's awful, you know! It was dark and cold,
You helped him?
Of course, I did! Do it again and I'll mess you up,
What?
Are you into Yamada?
Huh? of course not!
That's Tajima Kanna, isn't it?
Is she looking for Yamada?
He's not here yet,
Morning,
I wonder, Maybe it's a lie
that Yamada is gay,
Someone saw him holding hands with another guy, like they were on a date,
But, they say he's has gone out with first year, Yoshikawa Kozue,
Yoshikawa,,, you mean that model?
Those two disappeared through the grass by the river,
Did you hear that from Takahashi? All of his stories are made up,
Eh? That sucks!
Stop it,
It's okay, No one's around,
Like I would, Idiot!
Eat up,,,
Go on, eat more,
Maru, good morning,
Still sleepy?
What? What is it?
Your eyes are pretty,
Spiritual freedom in a free system, freedom of the body, economic freedom,
Spiritual freedom is freedom of thought and expression,
Religious assembly, performance method etc,
Not legally mandatory, it must guarantee personal freedom,
This principle was mandatory for public recognition before the war,
Therefore, freedom of expression is,,,
Can you tell me your name?
Kannonzaki,
Can you tell me about your family?
My dad, mom, older brother, then there's me,
Anything else?
My parents have a bad relationship so everyone's kinda on his own,
My dad's secret got out, it's a pretty bad story,
My mom was attending dance school during the weekends,
And dad was having an affair with his 45-year old female colleague,
They disappeared together last fall and returned a week later,
It's kinda normal now,
Does your girlfriend know of your family situation?
No, she doesn't, I haven't told her,
Why?
She's not interested in that kind of thing,
She only lives with her mom, It's a single parent home,
She may think it's better to have two parents,
Why are you going out with her?
She gets angry about the slightest thing but,,,
But, I kinda like that, It's easy to be with her,
You're annoying,
Go away!
From what?
I said go away,
Go away!
- Haruna's skipping class, - My head hurts,
I'm hungry,
Seriously, haven't you had enough food?
oh shut up,
It's raining paper,
Amazing,
2-A Yamada Ichiro
- Do you like her? - I like her, Seriously,
Where's Kannonzaki?
Gone for the afternoon,
Then, where's Yamada?
Dunno,
Liar!
What's this about?
It's pretty bad, All ripped up,
We didn't want to be on it,
What are you talking about?
What could we do?
Kannonzaki won't allow us to interfere,
Where's Yamada?
Left for the Chem lab,
Yamada!
Are you alright?
It's Wakakusa,
I brought some clothes,
I'm here,
Here,
Sorry, Once again,,,
Don't mention it,
Wakakusa,
Yes,
Are you free tonight?
Yes,
I'll show you my secret treasure,
Huh?
I want you to see it,
The ozone layer has decreased by 5 to 10% these past seventeen years,
The total amount of CFCs emitted by humans into the atmosphere has reached 15 million ton,
Ten percent, that is, 1,5 million ton, penetrates into the layer ring to destroy the ozone layer,
Mom, I've gone to Inoue's, There's curry in the pot,
Sorry, sorry,
It was my turn to cook dinner,
What kind of a child were you?
I often hung out at the library in grade school,
I like reading books on UFO's,
I've always wanted to see one,
I've been bullied since grade school,
I was beaten badly one day,
My whole body was in pain, I was afraid my parents would find out,
My parents finding out would be annoying,
So I didn't want to go home,
I stayed on the roof of the apartment until dark,
I kept wishing a UFO would come,
Stayed there for hours,,,
I come here occasionally even now to see,
It's okay if it's not a UFO,
Just something that's out of the ordinary,
Yes, Koyama residence,
Call for you, A Kannonzaki,
OK,
Don't talk for too long, the phone bill is excessive,,,
- ,,,and mom,,, - Yeah, yeah,
What is it?
Huh?
Horrible, isn't it?
It's because everyone hates me,
Don't be ridiculous,
You have a lot of female fans you know?
I think it's because you're cute, mysterious,
That's not a good thing,
I want to pull out the internal organs of people who bully me,
Rip out their skin and throw it into the mountains to feed the dogs,
I want to stuff garbage into the mouth of a girl who laughs while she watches,
I always think of things like that,
I'm gay,
Gay, homo, trans, pervert, or whatever,
But you're going out with Class B's Tajima, aren't you?
It's what you call a facade,
Does Tajima know?
No,
I kinda feel sorry for her though,
You're the first person I've had a real conversation with,
Is this really okay?
It's fine,
Mom's at the dance school and dad's on a business trip,
And you just have to do it on a day like this,
You're such a rebel,
What did the person who answered the phone say?
Just hurry and take it out,
Wha? Snake?
It's just around here,
Found it,
Do you do this with Haruna?
None of your business,
I found it last year,
I was in bad shape that time just like now,
It's embarrassing to admit but I ran here crying,
That's when I stumbled upon it,
How about the police?
It was pretty alarming,
The skeleton wasn't like this last autumn,
I never really knew if I was alive or dead,
But seeing this gave me courage,
Stop, I'm gonna die,
Gonna die,
There's one other person who knows about this,
Who?
Yoshikawa Kozei,
The freshman?
When I returned here last year, she was here,
After that, we come here together sometimes,
This is also her treasure, I guess,
How long have you had this job?
Around 3 years,,,
I wasn't a model at the beginning, I was a child actress,
I worked for television for a while like dramas and stuff,
My parents are also in showbiz,
So with those connections, I tried modeling,
In this job, it's definitely like everyone
is working to create a thing,
I think it's great,
Doing magazine-related work with access to photographers, etc,
Meeting different kinds of people,
Then if you go to TV, there are more amazing people,
Of course, even if it wasn't me, it'll happen,
Kinda like, anyone else can take my place,
Anyone else will do?
Is that so?
The first time I saw myself in a magazine I thought, yuck,
So I got scared of using that kind of disgusting expression,
Even though people praised me for it,
I thought, never again,
Truthfully, I don't think that way,
I feel everyone is surrounded by an atmosphere filled with flattery,
It's like,,,
disgusting people can still think of themselves as amazing,
How about school? Is it fun?
School feels more real,
Real?
I don't know if people at school will say that a disgusting person is disgusting,
But I think they feel sick inside,
At least they'd be honest in the dark,
In the dark?
Yeah,
Yoshikawa, how are you feeling?
I'll go to the next class,
Make sure you have a balanced diet,
Health is more important than work,
Yes, ma'am,
Sempai, you often skip class, don't you?
Is your attendance still okay?
Mine is at risk because of work,
That guy,,,
the one who threw the ball,
running in the middle,,,
Pass through the center,
We did it!
That's the guy Yamada likes,
Huh?
That guy is one of Yamada's secret treasure,
"The uniform we wear,"
"I am on a bus with a girl,"
- Hey? - Huh?
There's a hag with a heavy makeup that lives in an apartment behind the school,
She puts on red and black lace,
or purple thin underwear and stands by the balcony,
She eats up the virgins in our school,
Seriously?
Why don't you try and ask her,
But how old is she?
And then,,,
Got one,
- Idiot, - Damn,
And then what?
The river behind the school,
somewhere around there,,,
Excuse me,,,
Hey, did you hear?
They said an old man is dead, buried in the ground,
What are you talking about?
I'm saying, the river behind the school,
There's a small house by the grassland, An old man lived there,
So grandpa moved to another apartment,
He died recently, He was apparently broke,
But in fact, the grandfather had a sum of money,
Then apparently the money is buried somewhere in the grassland,
- Grass? - That's right,
There's 10 million in the grass,
Isn't that awesome?
I'll go ahead,
Haruna?
Is this the time to eat?
Excuse me, is Yoshikawa in?
Yoshikawa? She was here this morning,,,
But looks like she's not here anymore,
It's 10 million, Can you imagine what you can do with that?
Where's Haruna?
Went somewhere,
I see,
I can dream about it, right?
It is 10 million after all,
What up with bringing me here?
I'm very uncomfortable,
About what?
I'm wondering if I should tell Haruna about you and me,
What?
Tied hands, blindfold,
stuffing something like a moose stick up my ass,
Hey,,,
I'm kidding,
Hey, shall we do it here?
Do you want 10 million yen?
Wanna get rich overnight!
Let's do it, do it!
Those guys are idiots!
I just said it might be buried there,
You mean it was a lie?
So it's my mom who went to the old man's funeral and said
"What if he buried his money!"
What about the 150 million?
What's with that amount?
Takahashi, is that story even true?
- OK, let's go! - Let's go!
Wait!
Hold on a minute!
There's no truth to that story,
It's a lie,
The story's not true,
Haruna,,,
where have you been?
Those guys are so immature,
Where are you going?
Let's go,
I'll tell you about my secret treasure,
Sorry,
Here, I thought it'll look good on you,
It's because you have a melancholy temperament,
I didn't do anything for your birthday so,
We started dating in December, right?
It's been 3 months now, right?
Thank you,
Let's go to the aquarium next time, shall we?
I haven't been there yet,
Okay,
I'll make us lunch, When do we go? This Sunday?
What do you want for lunch? Sandwich? Onigiri? Bagels?
Anything's fine,
Call out when you find it,
What are those guys doing?
I don't know, But it seems that something's buried there,
Yamada?
Stop it!
Yamada! Stop it!
Stop it!
Someone! Someone help!
What's up with you!
Let's look again tomorrow,
Are you okay?
Good evening,
We jumped into something bad, huh?
Yeah,
Let's go,
He went out?
I understand,
I'll just wait,
Yamada was hurt, so I'm worried about him,
Okay, goodbye,
Is it really okay?
You take the head,
Wakakusa,
We won't be able to see it anymore, huh?
Can't be helped,
It's better than those guys finding it,
Let do it, One, two,,,
We'll have to dig a pit as deep as possible,
They'll find it if it's too shallow,
Agree,
Sorry, My arms and legs are too sore,
Let's take a break, Have a smoke,
May I have one?
What do you think about when you see that?
Dunno,
I think "you deserve it,"
Deserve?
Yeah, Serves you right,
Pretending it cut off its connection to the outside world,
Pretending to be abandoned,
yet pretending to be happy,
You've got to be kidding me,
I may have nothing but,,,
you have no way to escape,
Serves you right!
Just kidding,
Come on,
Yes, sir,
Let's go,
Wow, so cute,
I love fish,
Let's go to Yamashima Aquarium next time,
There's lot of jellyfish there,
Transparent, super cute,
like a wedding dress,
Haruna,
There's TV,
It's started,
Isn't that Yoshikawa from the school?
She must be making a fortune,
Isn't that nice,
It's not that simple,
A model just has to have a good style and all,
You have it good, don't you?
You don't seem to have any worries,
You're right,
I'll go home after this,
What? You're not staying?
I'm not,
Sorry, I still have things to do,
See you tomorrow,
Lunch was delicious,
Thank you, I had fun,
Sis,
Will you stop hogging the milk?
What's up with you?
At least knock first,
Not much left,
I wanted to have pudding with this,
Get out,
Don't think you can just come in here,
Same goes for you, Don't think you can just come into my room,
I know you do,
The next time my diary changes position,
I'm gonna tell mom,
Also,
please stop trying on my clothes,
They'll get stretched,
Yamada,
What's up?
I thought I'd bring milk for the kittens,
What about the class?
Skipping,
They're getting bigger,
They were as big as mise when I first saw them,
Come,
Little kitty,
Again,
He's the guy you like, right?
How did you know?
Heard from Yoshikawa,
Yeah, it's true,
Would you want to tell the person you like of your feelings?
I do,
That you want to hug and such?
I do,
Kiss?
of course,
Sex?
Very much,
Are you active or passive?
How do men decide who is active and who is passive?
Does it hurt when it penetrates?
Do you use lubricant on yourself?
Which do you prefer, being shackled or fingered?
Can your pharynx swallow after a blowjob?
You're rude, Just because I'm gay, you think it's okay to ask about sex, It's rude!
I'm sorry,
It's alright,
But you know, more than that,
just him being there is enough,
As long as he exists, I exist,
As long as I can watch him,
That's enough for me,
What is it?
Come over to my place tonight,
What is it?
Is it there?
No,
Then, I won't go,
Don't say that,
Haruna didn't let you do it,
My period hasn't come yet,
What will you do about it?
How did you meet your 38 year old boyfriend?
Through a friend,
Friend?
Someone at a club,
Where is that person now?
He's rich,
Does your parents know?
Of course not,
He's 38 and married, How can I introduce him?
My parents believe in me,
When did you become aware of your body?
When making love,
What does love mean to you?
Love,,,
Rumi, take your bath,
Okay,
Haruna, come out,
What?
Come out,
Okay,
Hello, Wakakusa residence,
Hello?
What is it?
They hung up,
Was it delicious?
Yes,
oh, good,
I'll cook for you again, okay?
Yes,
Don't worry I like to cook,
What would you like?
Whatever,
Let's pack lunch again and go to the aquarium,
Okay,
I bought a CD that I thought you'd like,
I'll lend it to you,
Then there are these blue scarves, super nice,
- Silly, You too,,, - I'll get one for you,
I think you'd look good in blue,
Do you like blue?
I want to go where we can play,
Where do you want to go?
I want to see the original Love concert,
They'll have a show in Shibuya,
I wonder if I can buy a ticket,
And then Omori Art Institute seems fun,
I want us to go together,
- And then,,, - Shut up!
Yamada,,,
Is it really fun for you to talk about senseless things all day?
Is it fun to yacking on and on about what you want to do?
Is it really fun to talk about nothing but yourself?
I went to the grassland, it felt different,
Up until now, the place was comforting,
Did something happen?
Nothing much,
Okay,
Wakakusa,
Yes?
Let's summon a UFO,
I did it once,
How do you do it?
You just pray,
It's freezing,
So cold,
Rumi!
Good morning,
How've you been?
You haven't been to school for 3 days,
This freezing cold has been dragging on, right?
ooh letter!
Love letter?
From whom?
No name,
Open it! Open it!
Who is it?
Haruna, just die, Haruna, just die, Haruna, just die!
Creepy,
Forget it! Forget it!
Haruna, good morning,
Morning,
Were you sick?
Kinda,
Hey Haruna, should I cut my hair or keep it?
Whichever is fine,
So, which?
I said whichever is fine,
So, which?
Move,
- Which? - That's enough,
- Which would be good? - Whichever is fine,
Sempai, let's ditch the class,
I'm on my period,
Kidding,
Sempai, come with me for a bit,
I found something interesting,
- What is it? - Just come quickly,
Hold on a sec,
Hey, wait,
Yoshikawa! Wakakusa!
- over here! - What is it?
What is it?
There,
This,,,
Take a look,
Isn't that awesome?
They're cats, aren't they?
Look like meatballs,
I'm sorry,
Wakakusa,,,
That wasn't my intention,
Sorry, I'm sorry,
Please don't cry,
Sorry,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
It's a beautiful color,
Is it a gift?
Yamada likes blue,
So nice,
Yamada said it has to be handmade by me,
That's so sweet,
That's ingenious,
Yeah, so good,
It so fitting,
So cute,
Amazing,
What is it?
I'll be stuck indoors soon so,,,
Oh, but we can still do it here,
What's up with you?
You just wanted to go to bed, huh?
Half pushing at the beginning,
What are you talking about?
Give me money,
What?
Abortion fee,
How much?
one hundred and fifty thousand,
What?
There's no way I have that much, is there?
Get it then,
Is it even mine?
How can you deny it?
That's the only time I did it without you wearing one,
You obviously wear one every time with Haruna,
I don't have that much money,
You always said you had money,
I don't anymore,
But you still have some to shower Haruna with gifts?
Fine,
But it's impossible to give you all of it,
Haruna doesn't really like you, you know,
What do you mean?
She said so,
"I don't like Kannonzaki at all,"
"He's too stupid,"
"If you don't do it with him, he gets angry,"
I don't like you at all either,
Shut it,
You keep bringing up your parents, but they don't really care about you, do they?
- Complete laissez-faire, - Stop it,
- Can't help it, right? They don't care about you, - I said, stop it,
Even with drugs, to friends, girlfriend, you're just human trash,
Whose brat is in your stomach then?
You piece of shit,
Violence,,,
that's why no one likes you!
- Because you can't love anyone, - Shut up,
Did I hurt your ego?
You idiot,
Shut up!
Wow!
Mom's hobby, It's like a love hotel,
Come inside,
I ordered in,
Have a seat,
Do you drink wine?
Yes,
I'm thinking of quitting school,
Really?
Yeah,
Three regular TV shows have been confirmed,
It worked well for a year but the second might not be so easy,
I wanted to go to college too,
We won't finish all this food,
It's okay, I'll eat everything,
Really?
It's okay, I'll puke it out after,
Care for some coffee?
Yeah,
Thanks,
Wakakusa-San, do you hate me?
Of course not,
I like you, you know,
Buy gloves from the convenience store,
You won't tell anyone, right? I'll kill you if you do,
What's the use of telling anyone?
Now hurry and go,
Burying people takes time,
Oh right, we have to call upon two more people,
The other two have also dug a grave before so we need to call them,
Who?
Wakakusa and Yoshikawa,
What's your relationship with Haruna?
Nothing at all,
I have no interest in making out with women,
You don't have anything to worry about,
I hate you,
okay, got it,
What is it?
Yamada said he found a new corpse,
He wants us to come and see it before burying it,
What is this about?
What are you doing?
How dare you come in and read without permission!
Don't mess with me!
You despicable ugly bitch!
What have you been up to, stupid?
"I'm pregnant and I don't know whose it is?"
"What am I gonna do?"
Earned 50,000? That's called prostitution!
That's none of your business, minger!
Get out of my way!
Quit drawing boring gay comics,
Get a man,
Do it, fatso!
Ugly!
Die! Die! Die!
Hey!
What's happening?
Haruna! Haruna! Haruna!
Where is it?
Dunno where it is,
It was here earlier though,
Boring,
Sorry, I was wrong,
I just didn't want her to tell,
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Hello, Is Ichiro in?
I see,
Hello, Is Haruna in?
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die!
Sorry,
Let's go,
Wakakusa,
What's with you all?
What's your relationship?
What's your,,,
Don't tell me you and Yamada,,,
I told you that's not it, didn't I?
Then, what's going on?
Are you making a fool of me, Yamada?
If it wasn't for you,,,
Calm down,
The person I like is you,
I've never told you that before,
Sit down, sit down,
- I won't leave you, - Haruna!
I'm sorry,
How pathetic, let's leave them alone,
But Wakakusa,
It's okay,
You have nothing to do with her,
So, it's okay,
This is Wakakusa's,
She left it that time,
Haruna, Haruna,,,
When did you start dating Yamada?
December, last year,
I like Ojawa's Free Birds,
I was listening to his solo debut at the record store in Shibuya,
Yamada was also listening to music nearby,
Even though I already knew who he was before,
but we were in different classes,
I thought he had a very beautiful face,
He is very special, very fashionable,
Also kind of mysterious,
He's not the same as other rough boys,
But it's hard to talk to him at school I thought,
So, I wondered if I could talk to him there,
From there we went to a café,
from then on we started borrowing CDs from each other,
Then at Christmas, I had the courage to confess to him,
He said yes,
I didn't expect my dreams to come true,
I was so surprised,
And, you was very happy,
Yes, so happy,
Is there anything that makes you glad to be alive?
It's great to be alive,
- You know what,,, - Huh?
Recently, a lot happened at school,
You said that,
I heard that it's because of a curse from the Edo period,
Seriously?
And it seems to have appeared recently,
What did?
Tajima Kanna's ghost,
That's not funny,
That girl's scary, right?
She set fire to Wakakusa's house, right?
Then set fire to herself,
It's Yamada's fault, right?
Yamada's horrible,
Yamada's the worst,
Scary,
Rumi was pregnant,
I don't know if her big sister's still with them,
There's nothing I can do but,,,
I still want to see her,
Are you really moving in spring?
Mom lost her job, My room got burned down, too,
I see,
Haruna, take a break and have a coffee,
I didn't expect so much baggage,
I don't have much luggage,
The fire extinguisher was broken,
I hadn't even completed payment on the turntable,
Nothing to do about it,
Coming,
I came to help,
Do you have an attachment to this city?
I don't know,
What about Kannonzaki?
I'll probably never see him again,
I think even he will feel relieved if I wasn't here,
You're a big help,
- Do your best, - Yes,
Won't you feel lonely?
What do you mean lonely?
For instance, losing precious things?
Then, I don't think I'll be lonely,
Do you think you're living now?
I don't think I'm living at all,
Why do you think so?
Because I haven't changed myself,
Haven't changed?
Just like stone or plastic, nothing changes,
Then, what does it mean to be alive?
To be able to feel, I think,
Like to feel heat from hot things,
to feel cold from cool things,
A lot of things happened some time ago,
Tajima died,
Rumi got pregnant,
I don't know how to express it in words,
I don't get the sense of my existence,
But for the first time, I wonder how it's like to not be here,
Even so, would you want to go on living?
I want to be alive,
How do you want to live?
Being hurt, not forgetting, remembering,
Sometimes crying, angry, laughing,,,,
,,,to feel alive,
I want to be alive,
I have school tomorrow so I can't see you off,
Bye,
Thank you,
Take care,
Bye,
Good night,
Wakakusa,
Yamada,
This is for you, though you may not like it,
What is this?
A collection of poems that William Gibson likes,
William,,,
William Gibson,
Thank you,
Shall we walk for a bit?
What's up?
What?
It came a little early, Spring break,
This city sometimes gets malignant sickness,
We know our short existence won't last forever,
our short existence,
Our love,
Know about our love,
The wall surrounding the street knows about our love,
The numerous silent weeks know about our love,
Warships know about our love,
We've became the people in charge of the scene, trying to interpret dealings,
In order to transition to a new stage,
in order to find deep cracks,
in order to draw the passage,
Looking at the fallen leaves,
surrounding the dry fountain,
That flat battlefield is the continuation of our lives,
Lately, I've been seeing Tajima's ghost,
It may be just my imagination though,
I see her even at school,
Do you care?
Actually, it's more like I felt her,
Her being there didn't do anything to me,
But it's not like I hated her,
But I kinda like the dead Tajima than the living one,
I guess I could've liked her better when she was alive,
Yamada,,,
Won't you like anyone until they die?
That's not it, at all,
I like that person,
I see,
And, I like the fact that you're alive,
It's true,
I'll be very sad if you weren't here,
Wakakusa, let's look for a UFo again,
Let's try and look again one more time,
River's Edge
