Miyama, over here.
It's been a long time.
I don't really feel anything special physically.
But after I look at this picture.
I've never been able to find peace in my heart.
From an optical point of view
It's just the light reflecting off the lens that's being photographed.
I think you should go to the hospital for a checkup.
Really?
But I'm feeling energetic.
Well, if you think there's something wrong,
I'll go to the hospital immediately.
Excuse me. Thank you.
Mrs. Natsu.
Among your ancestors,
was there anyone who has always wanted to go back to Japan?
You mean my dad?
Did your father go to the south?
Yes.
He went to fight on Leyte Island.
He was never able to return to Japan.
You've really grown up.
Why don't you just go back to Tokyo?
This brings back old memories.
Are you and Riko still seeing each other?
No.
It's been a long time since I wanted to take photographs.
Do you know where she is now?
You were always together.
Dinner's ready!
I googled her earlier. I think she's got a show.
But it was over a long time ago.
But you can still buy the picture book.
Are you lost?
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
Mr. Tejima
Oh.
I wish I had a son like you.
I have no one to carry on the family business.
You can call me anytime.
I'm happy to have a meal with you.
These cows are happy, too.
Miyagi, do you want to stay here?
What?
We'll paint and play in the water together. It'll be fun.
But my parents are gonna be so worried.
So...
Miya, shall we go back?
What?
It's a great place to live, isn't it?
But you can't live here alone, Miya.
However, I...
Don't worry. I'll take care of the rest for you,
Let's go back to the real world.
Yoshi is meddling again.
You're so nosy, I feel like I'm sick.
Good morning!
Change!
Draw a circle and turn around.
Change!
Draw a circle and turn around.
Turn around and draw a circle.
Want some bread?
They started selling peanut butter now.
This is from Mr. Miyazawa's store.
Didn't they bake fig bread earlier?
He gave this as a gift.
I'll do it for you.
It's about time.
Really?
I have to go buy something important.
I wish you'd come with me.
Where do you think the best place to buy it is?
I want to get something to put over there.
I'd like to hang a chandelier there.
I saw this lamp in a movie that looked nice.
I remember that scene where everyone was laughing around the table.
I think the light was really brilliant.
The color was warm.
Having a lamp that lights up the table.
It's important.
I think it's very important.
What kind of light is that?
What's the name of that lamp...
It has a bulb shaped like this.
But the lights in a movie are custom made, right?
Specialized, the only one of its kind
The color was really great.
What movie is it?
Uh...I can't remember.
It is a depiction of rural America...
Or was it?
Probably Scandinavia.
Italy?
It also feels like Korea.
In that case,
we're gonna have to watch every movie in the world.
That's gonna be difficult.
That's because I can't remember.
It leaves just a vague impression, and then you want it after that.
Why does that happen?
Hmm, all right.
I'm heading out.
Have a safe trip.
I'm off.
Have a safe trip.
Come on.
- What's this? - Huh?
This one.
It's a rock.
Mimi!
Miyama!
Here you go.
For you.
Oh, thank you.
It's beautiful.
What are we going to do with these potatoes?
Maybe you could cook....
Creamed Potatoes
Put it some puffy cheese.
Puffy cheese?
Yup.
- Delicious. - Uh-huh.
Have some more.
I'll get it.
Hello.
Ah, Mr. Toyoda.
Good evening. What can I do for you?
Yes, Miyama is at home.
Wow. Oh, my.
Mr. Toyoda's mother injured her back.
Thank you for coming. Come in.
Is anything wrong?
Oh, it's you, Miyama.
Look at this.
I can't believe there's a hole here.
It hurts.
I can't stand up.
Look.
Whoa.
Hmm?
Sorry about that. Thank you.
You can't move it?
Wait a minute.
Miyama.
There's a Burmese student who's studying with Mr. Kyuichi.
He said he's been acting strange lately.
Right, Kyuichi?
It's getting harder for him to move his neck.
And that he gets chills all the time.
Miyama, could you have a look?
Do you want another one?
I'll have some.
Okay.
He's not here.
Min!
Over there.
Miyama, let me introduce you.
I recently got married.
This is my wife.
Congratulations on your marriage.
Pleased to meet you. I'm Miyama.
Thank you. I'm Kyuichi Mari.
I'm not used to the name, sorry.
Min, this is Mr. Miyama.
He's here to examine you.
Min...
it seems like someone's trying to send you a message.
Even at this moment, he has strong feelings he wants to convey to you.
Sorry.
I see.
So that's how it is.
Would it be better to go back to my hometown?
I think it might be.
Thank you, Mr. Miyama.
No, I wasn't much help at all.
Sorry.
No, my neck.
I feel a strong warmth now.
It feels really good.
Thank you, Mr. Miyama.
Thank you.
That's nice.
I twisted my foot yesterday.
It still hurts.
You twisted your leg?
That's right.
Can I look at it?
Yes please.
Ah Mari, Miyama moved in recently.
He's staying in our village.
Oh, really?
Yes.
But it's been almost a year, hasn't it?
Oh, you're right.
It's been almost a year.
Where did you move from?
Toyama.
You're from Toyama?
No, I'm from Tokyo.
Is it because of work?
Mari, have you seen Ms. Shiori?
She's a nurse at Hotaka hospital.
No, I haven't.
Miyama, you came to live here because you met her, right?
Yes.
These are silkworm droppings.
Apply it on your hands and your hands will become smooth.
Can I apply some?
Sure.
Will you come and see me again?
Yeah, of course.
Where does a person's spirit go after death?
If we just stay in one place and don't leave,
it would be very boring.
That's why souls move around.
It's possible to move to another country.
It's possible for all of us.
I'm constantly training to raise my energy and expand it into the universe.
If we can improve this ability,
we can call the spirits of the dead in the universe and communicate with them.
I'm going to talk about a training method that I've created myself.
Okay, close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Thank you. Take care.
Uhm...
Excuse me.
Yes.
What's wrong?
Some people can see it, some can't.
What does it mean for those who can see?
People only believe what they want to believe, right?
Are you someone who can see?
Do you want to make that power stronger?
It should be easy for you to get close to people's hearts.
But it feels like you have a strong attachment to the past.
That's what brought you to this point.
I'll take care of him, you don't have to worry about it.
This size...
At least, I think that's how I remember it.
This shape...
Mimi, look at that.
It's 333.
Three three's.
Yes, it is.
I got it.
You got it.
Let's go.
I think it's an Al Pacino movie.
We've seen a lot of his movies.
Want a drink?
Yeah.
Thanks.
That's right. Look at this.
Mimi said your friend was in there.
That's him.
Is that your friend?
Eel and Sleeping Monkey
Kusaka Arata
So? Do you know the name?
I think it's a stage name.
Here's the latest news on Eel and Sleeping Monkeys
As a matter of fact, the name of the group, Eel and Sleeping Monkey
and their hit single "Next to You".
It was created by the group's guitarist, Kusaka, for the love of his life, and the fans know it very well.
Because he compared his lover to an eel.
and himself as a monkey.
It's a beautiful day.
Shall we go out?
Sounds good!
How many people are going?
Mom has to work.
I'm tired.
Huh?
I'm tired.
Are you tired?
Spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and win...
...ter.
Winter...
Win...
Spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It's called the four seasons.
Four seasons?
There's four different seasons, so it's call the Four Seasons.
Four seasons?
It's spring, summer, fall, winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and win...
Spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and win...
- Mimi. - Huh?
These forces of nature are protecting all of this.
So that we can live with all kinds of different things.
Oh?
Spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and win...
What's wrong with you?
What the hell are you talking about?
Don't blame someone else for something you did.
Obviously.
Yeah, right.
No, I didn't.
That's good. I got it.
You don't have to come over here. Just stay home.
It's about to start.
Enough already. I'll go back as soon as the concert is over.

Hey.
Did someone come looking for me?
No, no one came.
Let's go to the celebration party together.
Sorry, I can't go.
I'm telling you, you're getting a bad rep.
I know.
But I really can't today.
It's Kusaka!
It was a great concert.
I'm so happy.
Oh, he's gone.
Right, so I visited his alma mater with the guitarist, Mr. Kusaka.
I think I talked a little too much.
No, no, no.
You just mentioned in the clip earlier,
you're eager to meet a senior you admire.
That's right.
I'd like to meet him after hearing that.
My senior is really kind and popular.
I really look up to him, as he's the reason I'm here today.
Oh, I see.
That's why I'm super curious as to what he's like.
In fact, we sent someone to look for him.
No way!
We have very little information.
But our program staff is excellent.
He's invited to be on the show today.
Seriously?
Well, let's welcome him to the stage.
Senior!
It's been a long time.
Mr. Miyama, I've always wanted to see you.
I didn't think you'd want to come.
You must think
I'm no longer that cute looking junior any more, right?
You've come to my concerts before, haven't you?
Why did you come to see it?
I was worried.
Because you keep coming to me.
What?
You're a psychic and you've been projecting
your presence on to me lately.
No way. No way.
You're kidding right?
Come in.
Excuse me. Thank you for today.
This is the end of the recording session, thanks for your hard work.
Thank you.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
When I
didn't know what to do with my life...
I wanted to see you.
The lyrics you wrote...
You mean the song "Next to You"?
Hey.
Why did you disappear all of a sudden?
I have something I want to show you.
Can you come to my home?
To your home?
You'll see what that song's about when you get to my house.
Come on in. There are no bugs in here.
Here.
That's the past you left behind, isn't it?
That's what that song is about.
I stole your words for the song.
Those words came from
the letter you wrote to Riko in high school.
I wanted to
return it.
The stuff you left behind when you ran away.
I've been keeping it for you.
Come in.
Sit down.
I'm going to
get you some essentials.
Why don't you understand my feelings?
Riko.
Stop it.
Miyama.
What?
Is it true that Miyama is not coming back?
I'll whisper it to you.
Are you going to his place tomorrow?
Oh, yes.
Can you get out?
Let me hold it first.
Yes, yes, yes. Be careful.
Come on down.
You're gonna get wet. Here.
Which one is it?
Will he come out?
Not this one, the other one.
Do you want to knock?
Miyama!
Shiori?
Can we go in?
Yeah.
Is it a haunted house?
What's going on here?
The door must be closed to keep the bugs out.
Ugh...
First of all,
who are you?
I am
a lodger.
I suppose you can call me a lodger.
And your name is?
Tachibana Riko.
I'm sorry, Shiori.
We should talk about it.
Mom, I'm hungry.
That's right.
I bought a sandwich from Mr. Matsushima.
Miyama, it's really strange.
That's right.
Miyama,
I always thought you lived alone.
I've lived alone before.
The tattoo that you got in high school,
is it the same as hers?
Yeah, that's right.
Miyama,
is the girl pregnant?
Yeah.
Are you the father of the baby she's carrying?
Shiori, it's not what you think.
I'm really sorry, Shiori.
So you won't come to my house anymore?
I suppose so.
What?
But that's the way it is.
But...
I'd like to talk to you when things settle down.
Until then,
please give me some time.
What do you mean "when things settle down"?
After the baby's born, there's still a lot to be done.
Are you going to be responsible for all that?
Do you want to stay at my place? The two of you.
I'll be waiting for you.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Okay, let's go back.
Birdie's feathers?
I bought some tweezers so you can clamp them.
It doesn't matter.
Just leave it.
They're here.
Come on in.
What's wrong? Come in.
Let's go inside.
Are you sure?
Of course.
This is the room I prepared for her.
Good morning.
Do you want some water?
Change!
Draw a circle and turn around.
Turn around and draw a circle.
This is from Shiori.
This nutritional supplement seems to be good for pregnant women.
Take it with water.
Mr. Tejima's cattle got lost while grazing.
I heard that it hasn't come home since the day before yesterday.
I see. I'll have to go look for it.
It might have gone to the lake.
The other thing is the chandelier that's going to hang here...
I'm sorry.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
Is that Miyama?
You can see it?
Miyama, is there a toilet here?
Come on.
Here you go.
I've never seen her before.
She's an old friend of mine.
Traveling here?
They let me stay here for a while.
Well, you can always come to my place for milk.
That ice cream was good, too, wasn't it?
Yes.
Everyone says our ice cream is creamy and delicious.
Yeah, it is.
- It's Mimi's favorite, right? - Yeah.
- I'm back. - Welcome back.
Welcome back.
I'm back.
Hugs.
Wow, there's a nice smell coming from here.
What is it?
Croquette?
- Smells like Croquette? - Yeah.
I toasted the bread.
Mr. Tejima also give us some milk,
I'll make a soup out of it.
Oh, did you find his cow?
Sister found it.
Right?
Oh, well done.
The cow's eyes are so big, it surprised me.
That's right, unlike my own eyes,
they can see everything.
Shiori, we'll have dinner soon.
Right.
Thank you for making me lunch.
Delicious?
Delicious.
By the way, what did you want to tell me this morning?
About the chandelier hanging over there?
I had a dream yesterday.
Dreaming of a scene from a movie?
The dream was dark, and there was only one place that was light.
I went over there.
Saw a special lamp that lights up the dining room table at home.
Hey.
Where's your father?
You mean my dad?
Yeah.
I have one, but he's not here.
Will you see him?
No, I won't.
Look, it's a cow.
Is this a cow?
Yes.
Look at it this way.
I'm going to draw Miyama, too.
Riko, is Mimi there?
Mimi, it's time to go to sleep now.
Let's go.
Wow.
Hmm?
What's this?
The moon?
This is...
It's nothing. It's just an imaginary picture.
Imaginary?
So it's a drawing of what's going on inside you.
Good night, sis.
Good night!
You should stay warm and go to bed early.
The baby wants to rest too.
Yes.
Good night, then.
Good night.
I put them all to sleep.
And then I'm going to invite you to a secret party.
But how do you know who I am?
No matter how far away people are from me.
The feeling of dreams will come to me.
And your treasure led me here.
Treasure?
That's right. Glory Girl, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood.
Jack and the Beanstalk
These treasures are seen from the far reaches of the universe as they look out over the Earth...
Please take a deep breath.
- Excuse me.... - Yes.
I heard that your boyfriend is a psychic.
Can he hear my husband's voice?
Mr. Takei's voice?
Oh...
I'm not sure if he can help,
but I'll ask him.
Thank you so much.
It all happened so suddenly.
I really want to ask him something.
I went through all the rooms hoping to hear from him,
I'm lost because I couldn't find anything.
Ms. Madoka, if something is overwhelming you.
You can come and talk to me.
I don't mind myself.
I just want to know about my husband.
It's really hard to hear his voice.
And he's still alive.
But...
He'll be gone soon.
I see.
Thank you. I'm so sorry.
Not at all.
But I'm sorry I wasn't any help.
Don't even think about it.
Shiori, I'll wait here until you get off work.
Thank you, but you're tired, aren't you?
I'll still be a while.
I'll wait.
Okay, then I'll work harder.
Riko.
Can you read it to me, the book Miyama gave to me?
He was tearing down the roof tiles one after the other,
and wondered why spring wouldn't come,
as he sat by the window
and looked out over the garden, which had turned white under the snow.
Winter!
That's right.
Only the giant's garden is still in winter.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter
Welcome home.
We're back.
That's how you do it.
Tada! See what I've made.
I'm back.
Ya-chan, I'm back.
Is he in pain?
Hmm?
Ya-chan jumped on top of Riko's painting.
He was scratched by it.
Riko.
During the school festival
it was your school's anniversary.
That day...
I didn't really want to go over there.
Because
it wasn't that long ago that my mom passed away.
My dad and I...
My father...
Whenever he's in the mood,
he would start being violent.
My dad hates himself for it.
That's why I haven't been home much.
But...
My dad has the weekends off.
When I came home and opened the door.
I found him going through my room.
He took all my laundry to the cleaners.
I was very upset by his behavior.
I was sick of it.
This is the first time I've ever heard you talk about this.
Yeah, it is.
Because
I've been busy trying to look cool all day.
I'm sorry.
When I...
met your father at your house.
He always seemed so sweet and considerate.
I think
he's certainly a considerate man.
My father
suffered a lot of violence growing up.
I probably
wouldn't know what to do with my own children.
It's very annoying, isn't it?
You know.
The pet cat,
I heard he climbed on your painting.
On the day of the school festival,
if you decided not to come to the school,
I wouldn't have met you, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
It's scary how many stars you can see in the sky.
It's moving.
Come here.
Mimi's name
is it because of ears?
"mimi" in Japanese can mean "ears" or "hearing"
No, it's not.
It's from the words "beautiful"
Mimi's name is "美美" which is beautiful x 2
That's a nice name.
What's "beautiful"?
What are you doing? What's wrong?
Mimi was asking what "beautiful" meant.
What does "beautiful" mean to me...
It's the way a cicada flaps its wings.
What else?
The water in the river, the blue of the sky.
But most importantly,
it was when I gave birth to Mimi.
I thought to myself, "This kid is really beautiful."
Mom's tummy also got big here, too.
Mimi was in there.
And then...
When Mimi came out of my body, my feeling when I saw you was
"beautiful."
"It's really beautiful."
Did I really explain what "beautiful" is?
What should we do?
Why don't we go look for something "beautiful" now?
Mimi, let's have a picnic.
Let's look for something "beautiful" there.
Yeah.
Look at this.
Mimi, come here.
It's so small.
Yeah.
It's true, the little ants are walking
There's one here, too.
Look at this.
Is it like this?
Mom.
Miyama.
Riko.
That's a lot.
Mom!

Thank you.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
I'm just having a short walk.
Before I came here,
I've been wandering around a bit.
It's a nice place.
Yeah, it is.
Should I just stay here for a while?
Ahh.
Then you've come at the right time.
Lost again?

You too, should do it.
Do it like you?
Try it.
It's done. Do you want to stick anything else?
Stick this on, this star.
Okay.
What's wrong?
