[ringing tone]

Six.

[phone rings]

Oh, oh! Hello?

Noguchi?

Yeah.

How did you know?

[chuckles]

Isn't it obvious?

Right.

[Harumichi] Yeah.

Gosh.

[exhales]

Uh...

So where to tomorrow?

Anywhere you want to go.

[Kihako] Hello? Akemi?

You know, that...

- Huh? Something's wrong with the phone.
- [laughs]

Hello, Akemi?

- Akemi...
- I'm on the telephone, hang on!

Oh.

Oh... Sorry.

It's my mom.

[Harumichi] It's okay.

So, tomorrow.

Mom, get out. Come on.

- Hello?
- Sorry.

Yeah.

I'll wait for you by the entrance
to Koendori tomorrow at : .

[nods]

Got it.

Well, you have a good night.

Well, goodnight then.

"Good night."

[laughs]

[squeals]

[laughs]

I guess you'll have a good night.

[laughs]

Mmm.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, yes?

Coming!

[Yae] Oh.

- Hi there.
- [delivery man] Hello, package for you.

Alright.

- Sign here, please.
- Okay. Right here?

- Thank you. Have a good day.
- Thanks.

HOW ABOUT YOU GO OUT ON A DATE ONCE IN A WHILE.
- TSUZURU

Hello?

I may have left something behind
in one of your taxis.

Um... It was a yellow cab.

I think the driver was a woman.

Yes. Oh!

No female drivers?

Is that right?

Okay, thanks.

Has anybody ever told you you're a lot,
a lot more persistent than you look?

Shut it.

I don't wanna hear it from a snoop.

Don't make me out to be
some introverted pervert.

Advanced communication
is the king of hobbies, you know?

It's kind of the ultimate
romantic exchange so to speak.

What're you talking about?

[Okoshi] Oh! She's back.

Even after I warned her.

I got this.

[Okoshi] Okay.

Oh!

Wait. Hey!

Wait!

- [Mitsuka] Sorry.
- [Chiba] No, no.

Hey, everyone. Sorry.

- [Chiba] So cute.
- I'm late.

Hey, want some?

- Thank you.
- Sure.

You a drinker?

- Yes, I can drink.
- That right?

- [Chiba] Cheers.
- [Makiyama] Cheers.

[Makiyama] Thank you for today.
Cheers, thank you.

[Chiba] Mm.

Oh! Makiyama, could you just eat it
with rock salt first?

Oh, okay.

[scoffs] Brain surgeons
are the absolute worst.

They all think they're brilliant kings.

Well, what's wrong with mixing it
and eating it with sauce?

[Yukihito] Chiba.

You shouldn't put wasabi in the soy sauce.

Come on. He must really be hell
to live with, Mitsuka, right?

[laughs]

A little.

How exactly did you meet your wife?

- A freaking mixer.
- Huh?

This guy had surgery
and showed up two hours late,

and snatched the most beautiful girl here.

Wow. I'll start with your goal first
and work your way backwards.

Makiyama.

Speed is the key with surgery and women.

Yes, sir.

But I am begging you don't screw up.

You got such a sweet, young,
and beautiful wife, okay?

[scoffs] I've definitely learned
my lesson now.

[Chiba] Whoo!

[laughs]

I'll excuse myself.

Tsuzuru, about your new tutor...

Professor Something from Otaru
Medical University is coming, right?

- Well...
- [Mitsuka] Come on.

Dr. Okochi took me
under his wing, you see.

Listen to his advice about your future.

He's coming all this way to meet you.

So be polite, okay?

Alright.

Are we done?

I have homework.

Keep going. Mm.

[Chiba clears throat]

Makiyama, make sure
you do your homework too.

Oh? Uh...

- Okay.
- [laughs]

- [Chiba] Cheers.
- [Makiyama] Cheers.

- Right.
- [Makiyama] Thank you.

[nods]

[door opens]

[Okoshi] Oh, thanks.

[sighs]

Huh?

What the...?

Is it okay?

Yeah. It's fine.

Anyway, was there anything
in lost and found like a blue hair tie?

No.

Haven't seen it.

- Okay.
- Hmm.

By the way,

is that two-way radio powerful enough
to intercept different signals

if we needed to?

Oh.

- Not that.
- What?

Don't tell me you're going to listen
to the countless taxi radio bands

to look for someone you only saw
briefly who may be your first love.

[laughs] Are you for real?

- Can it be done or not?!
- I mean, it's not, not doable.

But it's definitely like finding
a needle in a desert.

And it's not like we can hear everything.

- Why don't you tell me how then?
- Don't touch that on your own!

- It's not like you'd just know her voice.
- I would!

Oh.

I'd know it if I heard it.

Okay, okay.

There's only two million people
in this city after all.

You might find her if it's fate, you know?

[grunts]

We're just listening.

You can't abuse this, okay?

[Harumichi] Alright.

- Let's see.
- [Okoshi] It's not in.

First, turn on the switch here.

[Harumichi] Hmm.

[blow]

Here we go.

[cheering]

Yes!

[laughs]

Yay!

Yay!

- Yae, you've upped your game!
- Right?

- I've been watching YouTube.
- [giggles]

That was Ritsuko Nakayama's style
when she got a perfect game in .

[laughs] Something good happened
to make you win like that. A guy, huh?

- [Yae] Well...
- [laughs]

- Hey, Mr. Outaro?
- Yes?

I'm coming after you.

Oh, uh, wanna go practice
over the weekend then?

Outaro Urabe with an average of

can give you
the best private lessons in bowling.

Sure. That'd be nice.

- Ms. Noguchi, hey!
- Yes?

Can you get to Hinode Building quickly?

Yeah, okay.

Uh... Hold on, wait.

- Thanks. I'm off!
- Tell me.

Yae, did you say yes?

[cheering]

- [driver] Lucky boy!
- Something good happened for sure.

[driver ] Really? What?

[driver ] Congrats.

Mm.

[indistinct chatter]

I heard something!

Hey!

[Okoshi] But you know,

you might be disappointed
if you actually meet.

She's your first love,

you could be romanticizing things.

If she was in your grade,

she's aged just like you have...

Stop it. Shut up already, man. Go away.

[Okoshi] Okay.

[beep]

[radio woman] Shiraishi Building, right?

[radio woman ] As for the car...

[radio man] Update. Car
and car , due to an accident...


[radio man ] I'll be there
in seven or eight minutes.


- [radio man ] Okay!
-
[radio woman ] Head over Park Court...

Here you go.

[radio man ] They're standing
right by the entrance.


[radio woman ] Hello.
About the customer with the reservation...


[chattering]

[radio woman ] The car
is on Kanjo-dori Avenue.


[radio man ] Number , I'll head to...

[Yae] Namiki!

[instrumental music]

Sorry for the wait.

Uh... Is it weird?

[giggles]

[laughs]

[nervous giggles]

[Harumichi] The chances of two people
meeting with something in common


is to , to .

[Yae] Wow.

[Harumichi] Oh!

[laughs]

Ready?

[laughs]

And getting to know someone,

that's two million to one.

[Yae] Wow.

Becoming closer from there
is million to .


Someone you can call
a friend is million to .


[Yae nods]

And...

a best friend is two billion to one!

[Yae] Wow!

And then...

when it comes to meeting
your soulmate, you know...

Yeah.

That probability is...

What?

Come with me!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[giggles]

Six billion to one!

- Wow!
- [laughs]

Oh, but if you assume

you live about years,

and factor the probability of your birth,

and the probability
of your parents meeting...

I mean, you can forget
about those details.

Basically,

miracles are crazy, right?!

[laughs]

Totally.

Miracles are crazy!

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[beep]

[distorted sound]

[Yae] One more time, please.

[beep]

Mmm.

, copy.

Kita Hachi-jo is packed so...

Let them know it'll be about minutes.

Yes, thanks.

- Kosshi! Kosshi, wake up!
- Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Huh? What?

Mr. Outaro?

- What?
- Ah, no...

- I'm fine, I'm fine!
- Here, come close.

I kinda hurt myself training
for our training session.

My doctor told me take it easy
and no bowling for a month at least.

You'll get wet.

That's fine.

Are you okay?

I'm totally fine.

- Come on.
- It's just inflammation.

I'm totally fine.

I'm fine, but...

Damn it.

Things have always been like this.

I got so excited
by our big high school trip,

that I broke a bone at the meeting point.

[chuckles]

For the Center Test,
I got appendicitis and got held back.

I always mess up when it counts.

[chuckles]

You write "Bad luck, misfortune,
and suffering," that's Outaro Urabe.

[chuckles]

First of all, there's the rain.

Then I dropped my glasses on my way out.

I'm sorry to ruin your day off.

I'd say, let me treat you to lunch,

although I seriously doubt
anywhere good is open now.

Let's actually play a game

where we say the opposite
of what we're really thinking.

Huh?

The rain...

[laughs]

soaked me down to my socks

and it feels so good!

You're getting soaked!

[laughs]

The sky is clear,

my skin is hydrated,

and it's hot!

[laughs]

- Okay, your turn!
- I don't know!

[hesitates]

Even though someone stole
my umbrella at the store,

I'm still very happy it's helping
some bastard out there!

Yes! You just got it!

- [laughs]
- Really?

- Man, my arm's swollen!
- [laughs]

But it's proof I'm not dead!

Yay, Urabe!

[laughs]

Thank you!

- [cheers and laughs]
- Here, here, here.

KEISEI TRANSPORTATION

Excuse me.

- Um...
- Mm?

I came to ask about
a female driver that works here.

Are you talking about Yae?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, well...

I was wondering about...

Let's see.

Uh...

Ah.

Not today. It's her day off.

Oh, gotcha.

YAE NOGUCHI

[knocks on the table]

Excuse me, sir. What business
did you have with her, please?

Uh... It's fine.

Thank you. Thanks.

[sigh]

[chuckles]

Here you go.

Ah!

- Oh, have the shrimp.
- No, I actually don't like shrimp.

Huh? Really?

But it's very good.

Uh... Back when I was a kid,

I once had a pet crayfish
almost eat my nose.

So, I may hate shrimp,
but I bet they hate me back.

[laughs]

- Then I'll take it.
- Yes, sure. Go ahead.

- Mmm...
- Oh...

[laughs]

I'm glad.

So how did you end up in Keisei?

Ah...

So, I studied what is known as mokkan

in the history department
in my university.

Mokkan?

Oh, that's right.

So... mokkan...

are old wooden tablets
that were used as notepads.

- You see?
- [nods]

It may come as no surprise

that it didn't help me
find a job, you know?

You and I, we're the lost generation.

So I failed all hundred interviews
immediately after graduation.

They kept on telling me
that I didn't put enough effort at all.

Oh.

Then I finally got an offer
and was hired by this company,

and my main task was to tell employees
years my senior,

that they were being fired.

Then the day I decided to buy
a six-month commuter pass,

I see that my own name
is included in the long execution list.

[chuckles]

[nods]

But I really feel now
this job is perfect for me.

You know how in a taxi, people just talk...

- [woman] Here.
- Ah.

- The reason I like mokkan, you know...
- [nods]

is that...

they were never meant to be left
for future generations, you see.

[nods]

Which is why you can hear the raw voices

of the ancient and anonymous
people of the past.

- "My wife's cooking really sucks."
- [laughs]

"My boss is tough idiot."

I bet the writers never imagined them
getting dug up a thousand years later.

- You know?
- Exactly.

[laughs]

- Maybe I'll try it.
- Mm?

The shrimp.

What? Are you sure?

- [grunts]
- What? [laughs]

Barehanded.

- Here it goes.
- Okay.

[Yae whimpers]

- Ah... Ah...
- How is it?

Well, it's kind of...

- Mm.
- Mm.

- I don't hate it.
- [chuckles]

Kinda like it.

[laughs]

What...

about you then?

Why this kind of job?

There's nothing much to talk about.

[chuckles]

Really? But...

I bet there's something.

Some event that influenced your life.

Like a fateful encounter.

People are made up
of memories and encounters.

It's just a result.

Encounters are just coincidences.
I've never believed in fate.

Ah.

Oh! Then how about, uh...

in that Titanic movie?

Jack was that unique, handsome,
and special someone to Rose.

Sorry, I haven't seen that movie.

Excuse me, another one, please?

[wait staff] Okay. One more beer, please.

[door closes]

Welcome home.

[sniffles]

Why am I crying so much
when I know it's going to sink?

[emotional music]

Where were you?

[sniffles]

Oh, just out.

[theater staff] Please
get into a single file line


and you'll be shown in shortly.

Those here to see Titanic,
please line up towards the front.


Please have your tickets ready.

Let's see Armageddon instead.

Watch it like you've been tricked
into doing it.

You've seen it five times.

I cried the most the fifth time.

[laughs] How can you cry when you know
it's gonna sink from the start?

Well, I like what I like.

Those here to see Titanic,
please have your tickets ready


and just wait a little while longer,
thank you.


Alright. Open your eyes.

[emotional music]

I'm flying, Jack!

[Harumichi sobs]

- No, no, no. I'm not doing that.
- Come on!

- No!
- Yes!

- Hurry, hurry!
- What?

[laughs]

- Really?
- Come on, come on.

[Harumichi] Alright.

Open your eyes.

I'm flying, Jack!

No, you're mistaken.

I don't think she'll be coming today.

[laughs]

You should only come here

Well, I can't say for sure,
but try this Saturday evening.

Make sure you go to school though.

[Yukihito] Tsuzuru!

Come down and greet Dr. Okochi.

[lively music]

[sighs]

Tsuzuru?

Tsuzuru!

[exhales]

[security guard] Hi there.
Please, sign in.

[cleaning staff]
I want to go to the first floor.

[lively music continues]

[pants]

Oh.

[Uta] Harumichi!

I almost got busted by a maintenance guy.

Mr. Nagato? With the ponytail?

[laughs]

Yeah, he had a ponytail.

Did you find the hair tie
I talked to you about?

[Harumichi] Oh...

About that.

That's you.

[Harumichi laughs]

This guy...

Um... What's your name again?

Uh... Kosaka Tsuzuru.

My name is Uta.

I'm .

I dance, but I hate
putting labels on myself.

If I had to describe myself I'd say,

I'm an expressionist, I guess.

You admire Sayoko Yamaguchi,

you've been obsessed with ' s
expression you found on YouTube,

and you cut your bangs too short today
are feeling a bit blue since morning.

You a stalker or what?

Uh, I've been following
your Instagram for eight months.

My user name is ourson .

Really?

Ourson?

The one who's always
the first to like my posts?

Thank you, Tsuzuru!

[chuckles]

Oh, this is interesting.

So, congrats.

Crap, I really gotta get to work.

Can I come back?

Maybe, Thursday?

Ponytail works morning,
so come in the evening.

Okay.

Thank you! [laughs]

Your mouth's open.

[laughs]

I'm home.

Where have you been?
You kept Dr. Okochi waiting!

I'm sorry!

- We're not done here, Tsuzuru!
- I'm sorry, I know I messed up!

[uplifting music]

[sighs]

[squeals]

First, identify the problem

and assume the square root
of two is a rational number.

In other words, suppose
that the square root of two

equals B divided by A.

Oh!

Uh... Sorry.

Uh-huh.

Square both sides

and you'll be able to get two
equals B squared over A squared.

So A squared will be equal to B squared.

Assign this as one.

Since it has a two on the left,
it's an even number,

meaning B squared is also even.

Which means B is even, but...

[sighs]

[Mitsuka] Tsuzuru!

Tsuzuru? Dinner.

It's served.

Come on.

Oh! Okay.

[soft music]

[music stops]

[sighs]

DO YOUR BEST TODAY!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT, BUT HERE.

[phone vibrates]

MOM
ONE NEW MESSAGE

WHAT? THIS IS AMAZING! ITS SO MOVING!

I SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS
TO HEAR THIS, EVERYONE SHOULD!

How are things going?

Mm?

- Scorching hot.
- [chuckles]

[chuckles]

[giggles]

[nervous giggle]

See? I told you.

What? What is it?

Is it weird?

Wait! Hold on!

What? What's wrong?

Tell me already. [laughs]

Your song "The cruelest month."

I really loved it.

I also loved, um...

"Kyuso no yume"?

What?

How'd you know?

It was obvious.

Really? I'm kinda mad.

[Yae] Oh, wait.

I liked that other one too.

Wait, don't tell me.

[in unison] "Planetes."

[laughs]

You're so easy.

[laughs]

Dang it.

So, how was it actually meeting her?

Hmm.

She was wonderful.

If there was a like button,
I'd tap it , times.

[laughs] That much?

[chuckles]

Thank you.

My name.

It's the first time I felt happy
hearing someone call me by my name.

Why did you name me Tsuzuru?

Mm.

They say that...

kids are the ones
to manifest their own name.

And maybe...

that's why I knew it the first time
when I saw your face.

I see.

[chuckles]

- What will you get?
- Homemade tiramisu.

Hmm... Tiramisu sounds nice.

But affogato is so good too.

Hmm.

Is she not practicing today?

Oh... She is, but I'm okay for today.

Uh? You sure?

I mean, it's my day with you.

Really?

I think there's a fun movie
I want to see, actually.

So why don't you go?

- What? Now?
- [nods]

I wanna go see that movie
that just came out.

You know, what is it? That... A... A...

Avengers! Avengers.

Oh, for real?

For real.

I'll come by to pick you up at nine,
so now you go have some fun.

Okay?

Come on now.

[sighs]

Well, go ahead. Go ahead, come on.

Don't forget your bag, okay?

[chuckles]

[cheerful music]

What're you listening to?

Uh... Nothing.

[laughs]

Can I listen?

Oh. [nods]

[Uta chuckles]

What is that?

Wow!

[hums]

Over here!

[instrumental music]

Oh! Harumichi.

This is my mom.

It's the guy I talked about.

Nice to meet you, I'm Tsuzuru's mother.

Um, thank you for looking after Tsuzuru.

Harumichi?

Oh.

Oh.

Sorry.

You're, you're welcome.

- [chuckles]
- Later, Harumichi.

Yeah.

- Let's go, Mom. This way.
- Mm?

- Oh, uh, sure.
- Are you okay?

- Yeah. [laughs]
- You sure?
