[man] Okay, good. Okay.
-Pull it higher. -I am!
All right, let's… okay.
-Careful, watch the pipe. -I see it!
-Easy now. -Okay.
Now, spin it.
-Good? -Good.
-Keep it coming. Okay? -Okay, okay, okay.
-It's in. -All right, careful now.
-No, no, no, hold on! -No!
All right, all right. Wait. Go back. Go back, then.
-All right. -Okay, okay, go back. Go out.
Ma'am, you there? Excuse me, ma'am?
[woman] Yes?
[worker] This… doesn't seem to fit.
Oh.
Uh, we'll have to cut the legs off.
[peaceful music playing]
Oh!
-Excuse me. -I'm sorry, my fault.
Well, then go get a job and get a cell phone!
You said you'd come see me soon in Japan!
You think I'm just gonna sit here and be treated like that?
I hope you drown in the Yangtze!
[screams]
[phone beeping]
[woman singing discordantly]
How's it going? I just got home.
[singing continues]
Hold on a sec.
[roommate] Oh, you're back!
[gasps] Here, try this. It's so good. Check it out!
-Let me just… -[roommate] It's crazy delicious!
No, really?
It's so good, though.
So, my place has really bad reception.
[woman singing discordantly]
Ah… it's connected!
What's up?
Ah.
Uh-huh.
I'm okay, I think.
My room here is super tiny.
Miss Chin and I were just talking about how we need to lose some weight.
[chuckles]
Harumichi, your time is near.
So, how's it there?
Okay.
Oh, stars?
Oh.
Can't see many that are out.
The sky looks only
about an inch wide.
Okay, I will.
Harumichi, bye.
[razor buzzing]
[alert beeps]
[bird chirping]
Pippi doesn't want more to eat, you know?
Um…
[bird chirping]
Oh, you forgot that you fed her 20 minutes ago?
Oh.
Right.
My co-worker from my last job was saying that
Skyair needs pilots and is recruiting recently.
You know, apparently there's a significant shortage of pilots recently.
It's been three years now since you left the SDF.
Doesn't it seem like good timing considering your age?
Maybe you should seize the moment and try again in the private sector, huh?
Well…
that's true.
AVIATION ACADEMY
[horn blowing reveille]
-Hey! -Sorry!
[horn stops]
Squad five!
Twenty-five men all here, injury free!
-[drums beating] -Go!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8! All!
Attention!
Right face! Set!
Left face!
[cadets cheering]
[military band playing]
Hey!
Yeah!
-[officer] Move your shit! -Sorry, sir!
[officer] Open your eyes. Matsumoto, straighten your back!
Absolutely, sir!
[officer] Forward!
March!
Squad five good.
In each of your squads, you will become pilots
and also third lieutenants,
leaders.
You will have to learn, practice, perfect, and successfully complete
all the basic drills we are giving you.
-Because that's what it takes, gentlemen. -[cadets] Yes, sir!
-[steam hisses] -Ow!
Now my assessment!
Set!
Your arm movements need work.
You're too slow when changing directions.
Speed up!
Follow the standard and…
You, Namiki!
Sir! Present, sir!
How can you be so damn distracted when I'm standing right in front of you?!
-Sorry, sir! -I don't think that's good enough!
Sorry, sir!
[shouting, whooping]
Ah, what's up? How are you?
Yeah.
How about you?
Uh-huh.
Huh? Right here?
[laughs] Oh, it's totally hell here.
[laughing]
Are you serious?
Oh, I'm jealous!
-[horn blowing first call] -Hold on.
Uh, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
I'll get in trouble again.
[Yae] Oh, yeah. Okay.
[horn blowing continues]
It's kind of cool having a time limit.
You're just like Ultraman.
[horn fades]
[laughing softly]
Yeah.
Take care now.
Platoon 56, there are 60 men and one injured, currently 59!
Hey, Namiki! Do you need extra time to get here?
Sorry!
-Hey! -Sir!
You're all gonna be held responsible, all right?
How about some jumping lunges?
-[kick lands] -Ugh!
[cadets] Six!
[officer] And seven!
[cadets] Seven!
-[officer] Eight! -Eight!
-[officer] And nine! -Nine!
-[officer] Hundred! -A hundred!
[officer] Get back up!
I said get up!
[peaceful music playing]
Oh, Namiki.
What's up?
For your nightly shooting drill.
Hmm?
Hmm.
[chuckles]
Hmm…
Hmm?
Good call.
I gotta do this after I do this. I'll see ya.
[laughing]
Do it fast!
That guy's hopeless. Unbelievable.
[door closes]
Yes!
Holy…
Hey! Good night.
-Good night. -Expect to see you bright and early.
It's me again, Yae.
Uh, hold on one sec.
I'm at the laundromat.
Ah.
Okay.
All right, sorry about that.
This is the closest place and the nicest, you know?
But last week and the week before that too,
some guy stole my underwear.
They haven't caught him yet so I can't leave it here
while it's washing.
They were my favorite pair too. It was shocking.
Hello? You still there?
Hey, Namiki! And here you go!
Ready to…
Ehh?
How can you look at this crap?
Hmm! You pervert.
[Namiki screeching, sobbing]
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Pick your classes?
No, not just yet.
-There's too many to pick from. -Oh.
I settled on History of Aesthetics and Cultural Anthropology.
And you?
-But I don't care about it at all. -[laughing]
I know you're after Machida.
Oooh!
Look at you, you got a perm.
-Oh, yeah. -Ooh!
The hair stylist suggested it.
-[friend laughing] -Is it weird?
-Not at all, it's great. -Yeah.
-You finally caught up with the world. -Hey, come on!
Hello! Settle down, set--
You are late.
I thought everyone in Japan was supposed to be on time.
Anyway…
-Yae. -[lecture continues in background]
Thanks for all these.
One was missing the CD in it, though, I swear.
-I'm sorry. Really? -No.
[professor] So, this is not English conversation.
This is not Eikaiwa.
This is literature.
English.
When you divide this by this, you get the probability for C.
3C2 divided by 5C2.
Tamui, what do you get?
-You get three over ten, sir? -That's right, it's three over ten.
-Good. -[phone buzzes]
5C2 is 10, 3C2 is 3, so you get 3 over 10.
Therefore C is three tenths.
Now, what was the probability we were after? Ichikawa?
-Um… -Hmm.
What's wrong, Kosaka?
Nothing.
Huh. Hmm.
What was it the probability of, Ichikawa?
The probability of drawing at least one winning ticket.
Yes. In other words…
[relaxing music playing]
Tsuzuru!
Come in.
It's the guy I told you about.
It's good to see you.
Tsuzuru.
I dug around and found him.
I can't believe how amazing his music is.
It's nothing.
[music stops]
[new upbeat track playing]
That's some really good shit. Cool jam you got there.
-[Uta] I know, right? -[man] Yeah. Nicely done.
-For you. -[man] What are you doing?
Tsuzuru. So tell me what kind of effect did you use for that break?
I'm using multiple layers of Valhalla Delay.
Rather than just one, you can really get a way better sound with two light delays.
So you shifted the time and added two.
No, I dulled the eighth beat and layered the two together.
[Tsuzuru] She's perfect!
She's not like any other girl.
The music she recommended for me is the best and we totally get each other.
Think this is fate?
Uhh… but it's crazy!
I'm happy, but I feel really sick.
I can't sleep, I have mouth ulcers, and then most of the time, I can't eat!
Ah, what do you think I should do?
Listen up, you can't just think your way out.
Since you're young, if your mind doesn't get it,
then just trust your body.
See, your chest hurts, frozen in fear,
and you feel funny down there?
These are all the signs of first love.
[laughs]
Well…
Though if you were older, you'd just be sick.
Hmm, but that's just how sudden
first loves can be now.
And you just can't avoid it.

Oh, come on. Machida asked me to get you to be a part of it.
No, no, no, no, no way.
-Yes. -I can't, I can't, I can't.
I knew you'd say that, so I already entered you in.
-[giggles] -Huh?

Excuse me! Thanks for your patience! The tequila has arrived!
-Tequila! -[cheering]
This is for Yae!
Ah, don't spill it.

Uh, if I may just give a toast to our Miss Touou… Yae!
She's here!
Congrats!

You should go for it! Come on. [chuckles]

-My mom? -Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Probably.
Why probably?
Well, we don't live together.
My parents got divorced when I was little, and I live with my dad.
Ah.

[chuckles]
-Wow! -[head bangs]
Aah! [laughing]
And you? What did you have to tell me?
Uh…
I'll wait till I see you!
Okay.
Tel Aviv, huh?
What? In Israel?
Yeah. This choreographer I love has a company out there.
I'm going to audition for him.
But I'm only there three nights and four days.
And if it works out, I can join them on their world tour next year!

Sorry, just one second.

-But she might find out. -Wait a second, what was that?
I said that Uta invited me to her dance performance next week.
-Oh. -But I'm not sure if I should go.
-No, I mean, before that. -Thanks.
Before? Uta liked my music track! That's what I said.
No, 20 seconds after.
-Oh, uh, my mom texted me. -Okay.
She said the washing machine broke.

-Mm-hmm. -[newcomers laugh]
Whoa!
Uh, and this here is my friend Nanako and…
Third-year business, Machida!
[chuckles]
Oh. Oh, wow.
I've never met one before.
Uh, is it true, in the SDF they don't ever let you use any umbrellas?
[newcomers laughing]
Do you mind if we join you?
-Oh, sure. -Yeah?
-[Nanako] Sure it's okay? -Yeah.
-Thank you so much. -[Machida] Uh, miss?
[server] Yes?
Amatriciana and Chianti.
-That will be all. -You got it.
That sounds good. You're Harumichi, right?
I've heard so much about you.
[Machida chuckles]
Oh, yeah.
[Nanako and Machida laugh]
Come drink with us, Namiki. Yeah?
-No, thanks. -Ah.
I guess pilots are different, right?
[Namiki] I'm still an aviation cadet.
But you'll fly a fighter jet someday soon.
Although, does Japan even need an army?
Seems like a waste of taxes.
We're not an army.
Also…
usually there's no emergencies or disaster.
We fly to protect.
When we're not needed, that's the best-case scenario.
Yeah, but aren't things tense with foreign countries because of RSDF?
We defend all the people who think that as well.
[Machida] Oh.
[Nanako and Machida laugh]
-So cool. -Mm.
Yeah, what a guy.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Your boyfriend's so rude, Yae?
Hey.
You must get worried, though.
Long distance.
Yeah, she's so damn cute.
I guess I trust her.
But I wonder.
I hear she can party too.
Then you'll be even farther apart when she goes off abroad.
Physically and emotionally.
-Abroad? -Uh-huh.
Oh, no. She didn't tell you?
Ah. [chuckles]
Uh, she's in some exchange program.
[chuckles]
I wouldn't be able to handle that.
[chuckles]
Don't worry about it, though.
Hey, hey, you okay?
-Don't touch me. -Dude, I… I'm looking out for you.
[groans]
The hell?
[woman screams]
Harumichi?
Hey! Machida?
Are you okay?
What the hell?
[Machida] Defend us, huh?
[chuckles] That was an attack.
That's war, right?
Don't make me laugh, military scumbag.
-Harumichi! -[waiter] Please, stop, sir!
-Please stop! -Right now!
[waiter] I said stop it now!
You both need to leave!
Are you serious? Unbelievable.
What about you?
What do you mean?
All hung up over a stupid poser from Tokyo.
I am?
And that's why you came here to Tokyo, admit it!
Your friends are the biggest idiots I could imagine!
Hey, don't you say that!
What's this about studying abroad?
No, you see…
I was going to tell you when I saw you!
You've known that it's always been my life dream to do that.
I knew that!
So why do I gotta hear about something so important
from such a piece of garbage like him?!
So what now?
I can see I'll get replaced.
That's so mean.
I was excited to see you today, really.
I wish I didn't come.
Oh.
You're Tsuzuru's friend, right?
Why are you here?
Laundromats are dangerous.
[tool ratcheting]
[sighs]
Hey, thanks for offering to fix it.
Of course. This is a lot better than the laundromat.
-Hmm? -Oh! Connection seems like the problem.
Can you hand me the wrench, please? You know, the one with the split end?
Sure.
Here.
-I'm sorry! -I'm sorry! Here.
I'm sorry. I'll let you work.
[sighs]
-Okay. -[machine beeps]
No way! That's so… so great! [laughing]
-Thank you very much. -[chuckles]
It was nothing.
Oh, I'm so happy!
It's sentimental. I bought this with my first paycheck.
[squeals] I'm so happy it's working again!
See ya.
Oh, you know…
you could stay here for dinner if you'd like.
Huh?
I mean, not that I have much to cook, but…
-Okay. -Yeah.
Uh, Mr. Namiki. What's your favorite food?
-Huh? -Huh?
Oh, uh…
Naporitan, yeah.
Naporitan is so good!
I love when they have those canned mystery mushrooms.
They're the best.
Uh… You can have any seat you like.
Naporitan. I have the stuff.
Okay. Close this.
[traffic passing]
Let's see…
[water running]
-[water stops] -Okay.
Mm!
It's amazing.
Good to hear.
I'm so impressed that you can fix a washing machine.
-[laughs] -Were you an electrician at your last job?
[laughs]
Maybe. Naporitan's beyond me, though.
-Mm. -[laughs]
[jet roaring]
Oh! Sorry about that.
Must sound pretty shocking.
From Chitose?
Yeah.
I guess that I've just always lived near airports since I was a kid.
The sound has always calmed me.
That's why I got this place.
Oh…
I guess that the place was also dirt cheap.
Here. Let me take a look.
-Thanks. -[jet passing]
Excuse me.
Look at that.
You can especially hear them on cloudy days.
Every time I see a plane take off,
for me, it's like energy to face the day.
[woman] Taxi!
[line ringing]
Uh, hello there, Yae?
S-Sorry about that.
I just lost my temper and said those awful--
[tires squealing, car crashes]
[phone clicks, starts beeping]
[woman laughing]
Yae!
[woman] Is she okay?
[sobbing] Yae!
[woman] Someone call an ambulance!
[Namiki sobbing]
Yae! Oh, Yae!
What happened to her? You were with her, am I right?
Weren't you?! Tell me!
I'm sorry. Sorry!
Why did this…?
[doctor] Your daughter experienced a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
in her head.
We should keep her rested and wait for her to regain consciousness.
[monitor beeping]
Hi, Yae.
-Mama? -Oh.
You're okay!
Where am I?
What is up?
It's okay, you're at a hospital.
A hospital in Tokyo.
You got into an accident.
And now you're here.
Tokyo?
[mother] Yeah.
Huh?
Ms. Noguchi, how are you feeling right now?
It's retrograde amnesia.
The shock from the accident
has made it hard for her to recall her past.
[indistinct chatter]
Generally, people tend to lose memories closer to when the accident happened.
So, will she get them back at all?
Sometimes they're regained quickly.
Sometimes it may take months, years, or it can be even more.
We have to be patient and give her the needed time to recover.
I'm sorry, but who are you?
Can you give us one second, Yae?
Talk to me.
Okay?
Come on.
