Promised to a record deal that didn’t work out, teenage Jun (Takuma Fujie, August My Heaven) arrives in Nagoya as a transfer student with dashed dreams. One day, his busking of songs by Exne Kedy catches the eye of fellow fan Ibuki (An Ogawa, Heaven Is Still Far Away) and the pair soon falls in love over their shared musical taste. But as adult responsibilities loom, prospects in Tokyo beckon and a global pandemic hits, they slowly drift apart… until the legendary Exne Kedy announce a reunion tour.
Inspired by Kensuke Ide’s 2021 concept album Strolling Planet ’74, in which the frontman transformed his band into the fictitious '70s glam rock group Exne Kedy and the Poltergeists, Daisuke Miyazaki’s Plastic is a colorful, rock-inflected coming-of-age tale tracking the disillusionment of Japanese youth. Following his breakout hip-hop drama Yamato (California) and the Osaka-set thriller Videophobia, Miyazaki showcases a keen sensibility for epochal longing, teenage loneliness, as well as for the vanishing sounds and places of everyday Japan. Dreamy, even cosmic at times, Plastic is an atypical romance examining how love for art shapes us.

Is it rolling?
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:20.750
OK?
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:28.791
I think I first saw Exne Kedy in Berlin.
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.750
My, I was astonished.
They were great.
00:00:33.416 --> 00:00:35.166
Then I saw them in London.
00:00:35.416 --> 00:00:40.291
I took my daughter Kaori with me.
She was this little.
00:00:41.166 --> 00:00:45.166
Then, I was at the Isle of Wight Rock Festival,
00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:47.666
watching from the side of the stage.
00:00:48.166 --> 00:00:49.416
Exne came on.
00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:51.416
That was a big thing.
00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:52.916
Think about it.
00:00:53.166 --> 00:00:56.666
Surely members of the Beatles were
in the audience.
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.250
Members of the Rolling Stones too.
00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:02.750
And Bob Dylan and The Band were on the bill.
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.166
If they played at the right time,
00:01:06.666 --> 00:01:09.500
chances are some of those people
saw Exne Kedy.
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:16.416
My father took me all the way to London.
00:01:16.666 --> 00:01:19.541
I must've been a preschooler.
00:01:20.166 --> 00:01:21.666
Kindergarten age.
00:01:22.166 --> 00:01:26.416
Four or five years old, around that age.
00:01:27.416 --> 00:01:32.666
I don't remember well, really, but...
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:40.916
The moment I entered the place
00:01:41.166 --> 00:01:44.500
I felt the people's enormous energy.
00:01:44.916 --> 00:01:48.500
But I was so little I couldn't see
the stage.
00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:54.000
Surrounded by nothing but the legs
and bums of adults all around me,
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:59.666
I was showered with the overwhelming sound
of Exne Kedy.
00:02:00.541 --> 00:02:02.000
It was really like...
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:05.416
music from outer space.
00:02:05.541 --> 00:02:09.250
A lot of different sounds like nothing
I'd heard before.
00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:18.416
"In 1974,
00:02:18.416 --> 00:02:23.041
the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico
00:02:23.041 --> 00:02:27.416
broadcast a message on
'basic information about
00:02:27.416 --> 00:02:34.916
human civilization on Earth' to globular
star cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules.
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:38.750
It consisted of 1,679 bits of data --
00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:42.416
23 rows by 73 columns.
00:02:44.458 --> 00:02:48.000
They say that the message will take
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.416
about 25,000 light years to get there.
00:02:51.916 --> 00:02:56.166
Will it reach some kind of entity?
00:02:56.750 --> 00:03:00.958
Will we ever meet anybody from space?"
00:03:18.916 --> 00:03:25.000
That's it for today's seminar.
Please let yourselves out. Thank you.
00:03:25.916 --> 00:03:27.666
Thank you.
00:03:31.791 --> 00:03:35.500
-Hey, do you think aliens exist?
-Strange if they didn't.
00:03:36.666 --> 00:03:38.166
Wonder if they do.
00:03:38.916 --> 00:03:40.541
Never mind. Let's go.
00:03:41.041 --> 00:03:42.166

00:06:21.416 --> 00:06:23.750
Ah, that was close.

Just once more.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.750
-Just once more?
-Just once more.
00:06:28.666 --> 00:06:29.666
I'm back.
00:06:29.916 --> 00:06:30.916
Welcome back.
00:06:31.166 --> 00:06:33.750
-How was the seminar?
-Nothing special.
00:06:33.916 --> 00:06:35.416
Oh, nothing special.
00:06:36.416 --> 00:06:38.416
You seem to be in a good mood.
00:06:38.750 --> 00:06:39.666
Do I?
00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.416
Did anything nice happen?
00:06:42.666 --> 00:06:43.666
Not really.
00:06:44.291 --> 00:06:50.666
But it was interesting to hear that
a message was sent to aliens 50 years ago.
00:06:50.916 --> 00:06:52.291
Yeah? What was it?
00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:56.666
Well, they said that a
U.S. observatory sent a message to aliens
00:06:56.666 --> 00:06:59.500
that may or may not reach them.
00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:01.916
I've heard something about that.
00:07:01.916 --> 00:07:02.916
I'm sure you have!
00:07:04.541 --> 00:07:05.291
And?
00:07:06.666 --> 00:07:07.416
And?
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
How does that put you in a good mood?
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:14.500
The year that message was sent, 1974,
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:18.166
was the year my favorite band broke up,
00:07:18.166 --> 00:07:21.916
and today, when I was riding my bike and
listening to one of their songs,
00:07:21.916 --> 00:07:26.541
I heard a busker singing the same one
in front of the abandoned station.
00:07:26.541 --> 00:07:28.041
-Wow.
-Seriously?
00:07:28.041 --> 00:07:28.666
Yes.
00:07:29.541 --> 00:07:31.250
Sounds too good to be true.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.166
Maybe it's fate.
00:07:34.291 --> 00:07:35.666
Fate?
00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:38.166
-An accident?
-Maybe.
00:07:38.416 --> 00:07:41.041
But isn't your fate in your own hands?
00:07:41.666 --> 00:07:43.041
No, it just happened.
00:07:44.416 --> 00:07:47.000
Yeaaah!
00:07:56.166 --> 00:08:00.666
The neck is pretty warped.
Maybe it's time to replace it.
00:08:01.416 --> 00:08:03.666
Oh... is that so?
00:08:04.166 --> 00:08:05.166
Yes.
00:08:39.916 --> 00:08:40.791
I'm home.
00:08:41.750 --> 00:08:43.166
Welcome back.
00:08:45.666 --> 00:08:46.500
I'm home.
00:08:46.666 --> 00:08:47.250
Hi.
00:08:49.166 --> 00:08:53.500
What's the matter?
You're obviously not happy.
00:08:54.041 --> 00:08:56.666
Well, the neck of my guitar is warped.
00:08:57.166 --> 00:08:59.916
Oh. Shall I fix it for you tomorrow?
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:05.916
Yes... But if I leave it to you, you'll
super-modify the whole thing...
00:09:05.916 --> 00:09:07.791
and the sound will totally change.
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.416
-Yeah?
-Yes.
00:09:09.541 --> 00:09:13.000
I'd just be trying to make it sound cool.
00:09:13.541 --> 00:09:15.500
Yeah, but...
00:09:15.916 --> 00:09:18.916
Your "cool" is a little different from mine.
00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:25.166
I mean, I'm still a kid, so I guess
I still don't understand what's cool for you.
00:09:25.250 --> 00:09:26.541
You're right there.
00:09:28.041 --> 00:09:31.500
OK then, I'll just fix the warped neck.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.416
-OK. Thanks.
-Sure.
00:09:36.916 --> 00:09:40.250
Oh yeah. Do you have any good
fuzz-type effects?
00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:43.416
Ken got most of my fuzz stuff.
00:09:44.041 --> 00:09:45.666
-I see...
-Yeah.
00:09:45.916 --> 00:09:50.541
But I may still have one
in my workshop.
00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:54.750
Is something wrong?
00:09:54.916 --> 00:09:56.416
Nah, nothing.
00:09:57.041 --> 00:09:58.916
Just a man-to-man conversation.
00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:02.791
What's with that old-fashioned phrase?
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.541
Really.
00:10:04.916 --> 00:10:08.666
-Oh yeah? I won't use it anymore then.
-No, you won't.
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.291
-Ouch!
-I told you not to sit on it, didn't I?
00:10:12.916 --> 00:10:16.166
So, Jun, your school interview is
at noon tomorrow.
00:10:16.416 --> 00:10:21.250
-OK. What about a uniform?
-You can wear whatever you have for now.
00:10:21.791 --> 00:10:22.541
Roger.
00:10:24.166 --> 00:10:26.416
By the way, Kaori, what's for dinner?
00:10:26.666 --> 00:10:30.916
Spaghetti with starchy sauce and
soy beans, and an avocado salad.
00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:35.166
What? What's your problem?
00:10:36.416 --> 00:10:43.750
Kaori, you never liked spaghetti with starchy
sauce or avocado when you were a child.
00:10:43.916 --> 00:10:45.916
Right... but you know what?
00:10:46.166 --> 00:10:51.416
After being away from Nagoya for so long,
I'm trying to fit in.
00:10:51.666 --> 00:10:54.250
You don't have to fit in.
00:10:54.416 --> 00:10:56.500
That's my own business.
00:10:56.750 --> 00:10:58.291

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.500
That's what it says here.
00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:40.166
Remember three important points today.
00:11:40.166 --> 00:11:43.750
First, note the use of "how to."
00:11:43.916 --> 00:11:46.291
Let's review what you've learned.
00:11:46.541 --> 00:11:48.791
"He knows."
00:11:48.791 --> 00:11:50.250
What does he know?
00:11:52.666 --> 00:11:54.166
Yes. Please come in.
00:11:57.041 --> 00:11:58.000
Hello.

I'm the principal.
00:12:31.666 --> 00:12:33.250
I was a bit fuzzy.
00:12:34.791 --> 00:12:37.250
It's about time to get serious.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.250
-Are we going to a cram school?
-I'd go in a Hawaiian shirt.
00:12:43.416 --> 00:12:46.500
-I thought so.
-I'm still considering.
00:12:47.166 --> 00:12:50.041
Well, studying at home would be OK for me.
00:13:03.291 --> 00:13:06.000
-Nice meeting you.
-Likewise.
00:13:06.166 --> 00:13:08.291

00:15:12.666 --> 00:15:17.916
I memorized all those blue and green
vocabulary sheet things.
00:15:17.916 --> 00:15:19.750
We also used flash cards.
00:15:19.750 --> 00:15:21.500
Right, we did!
00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:24.000
We use an app to learn English words.
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.166
-Ah. Do you?
-Yes.
00:15:30.166 --> 00:15:34.666
I wonder if school classes and exams will
all be online some day?
00:15:34.666 --> 00:15:35.666
Maybe.
00:15:36.416 --> 00:15:42.666
Unlike our generation, yours can live and work
wherever they want, regardless of
00:15:42.666 --> 00:15:46.916
where they were born or
what nationality they are.
00:15:46.916 --> 00:15:50.500
So keep learning English,
no matter what. OK?
00:15:51.250 --> 00:15:55.916
Your father is having a hard time at
work because he's not good at English.
00:15:57.291 --> 00:15:58.750
What's the matter, Carol?
00:15:59.166 --> 00:16:05.083
If you go away,
you'll take me with you, right?
00:16:05.416 --> 00:16:07.416
Of course I will.
00:16:09.416 --> 00:16:11.416
-I'm going out for a bit.
-OK.
00:16:11.666 --> 00:16:12.666
What about dinner?
00:16:12.666 --> 00:16:14.750
-Please leave me some.
-OK.
00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:17.041
-See you.
-See you.
00:16:18.916 --> 00:16:21.666
-An app, eh?
-I know.
00:16:26.916 --> 00:16:30.041
One of my classmates is
now the principal...
00:16:31.166 --> 00:16:34.041
I feel like so much time has passed.
00:16:35.291 --> 00:16:38.000
Don't worry.
You're still young, Kaori.
00:16:39.416 --> 00:16:42.916
-Well, no, that's not what I meant.
-No?
00:16:42.916 --> 00:16:43.500
No.
00:16:45.166 --> 00:16:47.166
But the way you reacted...
00:16:47.166 --> 00:16:48.291
What?
00:16:48.291 --> 00:16:50.791
...when you saw your schoolmate.
00:16:53.541 --> 00:16:57.291
You instantly go back in time,
to your high school days.
00:16:59.416 --> 00:17:01.166
What were you like back then?
00:17:01.416 --> 00:17:03.416
You're asking me what I was like?
00:17:05.166 --> 00:17:07.166
That is a good question.
00:17:07.541 --> 00:17:10.250
-I'll ask Grandpa then.
-Don't do that.
00:17:10.916 --> 00:17:14.500
How would you react
in front of old friends then?
00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:18.166
I would...
00:17:23.041 --> 00:17:25.750
-A good question, isn't it?
-Yes...
00:17:31.750 --> 00:17:34.416
-Oh, that looks nice.
-It's hard to decide.
00:17:34.416 --> 00:17:35.166
How's this?
00:17:35.666 --> 00:17:36.750
Oh, that's cute.
00:17:36.750 --> 00:17:38.416
How about black?
00:17:38.416 --> 00:17:39.791
Black? Black sounds good.
00:17:40.166 --> 00:17:40.916
How's this?
00:17:41.416 --> 00:17:43.416
Chinese dress! Isn't that cool?
00:17:43.416 --> 00:17:45.666
–It'll suit you totally.
-Really?
00:17:46.666 --> 00:17:47.291
Cute.
00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:48.500
This too loud?
00:17:48.916 --> 00:17:50.291
It's not too bad, is it?
00:17:50.291 --> 00:17:51.916
-Would it suit me?
-Yeah.
00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:54.416
-Tracksuit, anyone?
-Oh.
00:17:54.416 --> 00:17:56.666
That's fashionable, isn't it?
00:17:56.666 --> 00:17:58.666
-Harajuku-ish?
-Sure.
00:18:02.916 --> 00:18:04.500
Hey, this is so cool!
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:05.500
Let me try, too.
00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.750
This is great. Yay!
00:18:14.166 --> 00:18:14.750
Which one?
00:18:14.750 --> 00:18:18.250
I see... The price depends on
the kind of meat used.
00:18:18.250 --> 00:18:19.750
Oh, you're right!
00:18:23.250 --> 00:18:24.916
So nice!
00:18:25.666 --> 00:18:26.500
Great.
00:18:26.791 --> 00:18:27.916
Looks so tasty.
00:18:29.791 --> 00:18:30.666
Delicious!
00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.541
Beef's terrific!
00:18:39.166 --> 00:18:40.166
Grandpa.
00:18:40.750 --> 00:18:41.291
In here.
00:18:47.166 --> 00:18:48.291
Can I borrow your car?
00:18:48.291 --> 00:18:49.791
Yeah -- going out?
00:18:49.791 --> 00:18:50.416
Yeah.
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.250
-It's likely to rain. Be careful.
-Yes.
00:18:56.666 --> 00:19:00.416
Put the older-driver sign on the front.
00:19:01.541 --> 00:19:04.000
Don't drive at more than 40 km an hour.
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.250
And if you get in an accident, tell them
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:11.041
grandpa was driving and he's run away.
00:19:11.416 --> 00:19:12.250
All right.
00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:14.000
OK!
00:19:15.041 --> 00:19:16.500
Off you go then.
00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:18.166
See you.
00:20:06.666 --> 00:20:08.666
-I'm so full.
-I have no room.
00:20:08.666 --> 00:20:10.416
Let's eat banh mi next time.
00:20:10.416 --> 00:20:12.791
-Does it have mackerel?
-Mackerel?
00:20:12.791 --> 00:20:16.166
It comes with mackerel, but
other stuff as well.
00:20:16.166 --> 00:20:19.000
-Mackerel?
-Is that rain?
00:20:20.166 --> 00:20:21.416
Oh yes it is.
00:20:21.416 --> 00:20:22.416
Got an umbrella?
00:20:23.416 --> 00:20:24.750
What should we do?
00:20:27.250 --> 00:20:29.416
Damn, I forgot something.
00:20:29.416 --> 00:20:31.666
-Where?
-At the kebab place.
00:20:33.250 --> 00:20:35.500
-I'll catch up with you.
-OK.
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.166
-You'd better run to fetch it.
-OK.
00:20:38.166 --> 00:20:40.000
-Don't fall.
-Yes.
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.166
We'll be waiting.
00:20:56.250 --> 00:20:57.750
-Hello.
-Hello.
00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:03.416
I'd like to sell these.
00:21:06.666 --> 00:21:10.541
Let me evaluate this stuff.
Please come back in an hour or so.
00:21:11.041 --> 00:21:11.541
OK.
00:21:15.041 --> 00:21:17.916
Ah... I'll keep this one.
00:21:19.166 --> 00:21:20.166
Fine.
00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.500
Oh.
00:21:54.250 --> 00:21:57.041
All they talk about is rap or local bands.
00:21:57.041 --> 00:22:00.666
There are a few glam shops in town
00:22:00.666 --> 00:22:04.000
but they're filled with wrinkled
old men and women.
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.666
They're hard to get along with.
00:22:05.666 --> 00:22:10.291
If you start talking to them, right away
they want to be Facebook friends.
00:22:11.166 --> 00:22:15.666
So, when I saw someone the same
age as me singing Exne on the street,
00:22:15.666 --> 00:22:17.416
I was awfully surprised.
00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:23.166
I discovered Exne at a record shop
in Shibuya I went to a lot.
00:22:23.166 --> 00:22:25.166
Yeah? From a clerk there?
00:22:25.166 --> 00:22:27.166
Nah. I read about them on a pop.
00:22:27.166 --> 00:22:28.291
What's a "pop"?
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.000
Um, it's like a handwritten ad card.
00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:33.250
Ah!
00:22:34.166 --> 00:22:37.500
I started listening from
their first album.
00:22:39.166 --> 00:22:41.416
Exne evolved with each album.
00:22:41.416 --> 00:22:44.000
I know!
They're all totally different
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.666
and they got better with each one.
-Right.
00:22:46.666 --> 00:22:49.416
I was like, "This is totally bad..."
00:22:51.416 --> 00:22:52.750
"Totally bad."
00:22:53.916 --> 00:22:55.541
Are you from Tokyo, Jun?
00:22:55.916 --> 00:22:58.916
Yes, almost bordering Kanagawa, though.
00:23:00.416 --> 00:23:02.250
How long have you lived here?
00:23:03.041 --> 00:23:06.041
Hmm... about 10 days.
00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:08.916
-That's a super-recent move.
-Yeah.
00:23:10.250 --> 00:23:11.666
Why did you move?
00:23:14.166 --> 00:23:16.291
Well, lots of things happened...
00:23:17.541 --> 00:23:18.666
I see...
00:23:19.166 --> 00:23:19.916
Yeah...
00:23:24.791 --> 00:23:28.500
Hey, have you heard of the music club
in Shimokitazawa
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:31.666
that Exne secretly visited on their '74 tour?
00:23:32.166 --> 00:23:32.916
No.
00:23:33.666 --> 00:23:37.500
I read the rumors on 5channel and
finally found the club.
00:23:37.916 --> 00:23:38.666
Here.
00:23:39.916 --> 00:23:43.166
Oh, I've heard the name.
00:23:43.416 --> 00:23:49.250
It's a little hard to see because it's dark,
but that's Exne's signature on the wall.
00:23:49.250 --> 00:23:50.500
Really?
00:23:50.500 --> 00:23:51.250
Yes.
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:55.250
Actually, why don't you send that to me.
00:23:55.250 --> 00:23:57.916
OK, give me your Line ID.
00:23:58.500 --> 00:23:59.791
Is my QR code OK?
00:24:00.416 --> 00:24:01.166
OK.
00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:14.791
This world we see is actually all
a shadow play.
00:24:15.916 --> 00:24:20.500
In other words, an illusion.
Plato's allegory of "The Cave"...
00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.916
Excuse me.
00:24:22.416 --> 00:24:25.250
It's almost closing time.
00:24:33.166 --> 00:24:34.541
-Take this.
-What is it?
00:24:40.666 --> 00:24:44.166
My tea cost more than what you had,
so keep the change.
00:24:44.750 --> 00:24:46.791
It's OK, I had a good time.
00:24:49.416 --> 00:24:53.291
All right. Next time I'll buy you a coffee.
00:24:54.666 --> 00:24:55.541
Thank you.
00:25:00.791 --> 00:25:03.916
By the way, do you go to school
or something, Jun?
00:25:05.416 --> 00:25:09.916
I just enrolled, so I'll be starting
high school tomorrow.
00:25:10.666 --> 00:25:11.500
I see.
00:25:17.750 --> 00:25:22.041
Jun is just about to start at our school, and...
00:25:22.416 --> 00:25:23.750
he's a musician.
00:25:24.750 --> 00:25:31.666
Our club has virtually no activities, so
I thought he could join and do his music here.
00:25:36.416 --> 00:25:37.250
Hello.
00:25:50.416 --> 00:25:53.000
-Sorry about the mess.
-It's OK.
00:26:00.416 --> 00:26:01.416
What's this?
00:26:03.041 --> 00:26:05.750
This was a music club room.
00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.166
Right.
00:26:44.666 --> 00:26:45.541
Ibuki.
00:26:46.416 --> 00:26:49.666
This room was the music club,
but now it's the astronomy club.
00:26:49.666 --> 00:26:51.291
Yeah... Sorry.
00:26:51.791 --> 00:26:54.416
I meant it to be a quick tour.
00:26:54.916 --> 00:26:57.916
If he joins our club and does that
every day, I'll quit.
00:26:58.250 --> 00:26:59.000
Yeah...
00:26:59.916 --> 00:27:01.791
The birds are scared, too.
00:27:06.250 --> 00:27:07.500
There, there.
00:27:08.416 --> 00:27:10.291
Let's see how it goes today.
00:27:34.166 --> 00:27:34.750
Wow.
00:27:35.416 --> 00:27:37.500
The acoustics here are amazing.
00:27:38.041 --> 00:27:40.166
Like playing in a concert hall.
00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:51.666
I guess you're not used to loud music?
00:27:55.041 --> 00:27:55.750
I see.
00:27:56.916 --> 00:27:57.750
I'm sorry.
00:28:10.791 --> 00:28:15.541
OK. Would you like to hear really cool loud music?
00:29:09.541 --> 00:29:11.500
How's it? Good?
00:31:06.166 --> 00:31:07.000
Here we go.
00:31:21.166 --> 00:31:26.000
JUN, RECENTLY I LEARNED ABOUT THE
ARECIBO MESSAGE AT THE SCIENCE MUSEUM.
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.833
OK.
00:31:28.833 --> 00:31:35.000
EXNE PLAYED LIVE IN TOKYO IN 1974, AND
THE BAND BROKE UP RIGHT AFTER THAT.
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:40.958
IN THE SAME YEAR, A MESSAGE WAS
SENT FROM EARTH, FAR INTO SPACE.
00:31:40.958 --> 00:31:44.416
THAT'S THE ARECIBO MESSAGE.
00:31:44.416 --> 00:31:48.958
I SEE.
00:31:58.208 --> 00:32:02.166
IT WON'T REACH ITS
DESTINATION FOR 25,000 LIGHT YEARS,
00:32:02.166 --> 00:32:07.000
EVEN WITH A QUICK REPLY, IT WILL TAKE
THAT LONG AGAIN TO GET TO EARTH.
00:32:07.458 --> 00:32:10.708
OK.
00:32:13.166 --> 00:32:18.708
LET'S SAY YOU GET A REPLY. WHAT WOULD
YOU SAY TO SOMEONE SO FAR AWAY?
00:32:18.708 --> 00:32:23.166
WELL... I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
IT'D BE LIKE IN 50,000 LIGHT YEARS...
00:32:23.166 --> 00:32:27.583
MAYBE I'D SEND THIS TEXT
EXCHANGE WITH YOU, IBUKI.
00:32:27.583 --> 00:32:30.750
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
00:32:32.541 --> 00:32:37.750
YES. AFTER 50,000 LIGHT YEARS, SUCH LITTLE
THINGS WILL BE CONSIDERED PRECIOUS.
00:32:37.750 --> 00:32:41.333
...THAT'S DEEP.
00:32:44.541 --> 00:32:49.000
OH, BUT I MIGHT WANT TO SEND EXNE'S SONG "CAVEMAN" TO SOMEONE OUT IN SPACE.
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.750
GREAT IDEA!
00:32:59.916 --> 00:33:01.791
Do you visit zoos often?
00:33:01.791 --> 00:33:03.208
Not really.
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.041
How about you?
00:33:05.666 --> 00:33:06.666
Rarely.
00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:10.416
-This might be my first time.
-What? Really?
00:33:10.666 --> 00:33:12.500
-Yes.
-Wow.
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.500
-When was your last time?
-I think when I was at junior high.
00:33:24.416 --> 00:33:27.416
Why do giraffes have such long necks?
00:33:28.916 --> 00:33:30.166
Um, I don't know.
00:33:32.291 --> 00:33:33.500
Maybe it's because
00:33:34.416 --> 00:33:38.041
they need long necks to eat grass
in high places.
00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:40.166
Maybe that's why.
00:33:40.750 --> 00:33:44.250
-Maybe they grew suddenly one day for no reason.
-What?
00:33:45.916 --> 00:33:47.791
I thought they'd be much longer.
00:33:49.166 --> 00:33:52.250
Tokyo has tons of interesting places,
right?
00:33:52.250 --> 00:33:55.000
Yep, there are some.
00:33:56.166 --> 00:33:58.750
Shouldn't flamingos be standing
on one leg?
00:33:58.916 --> 00:34:00.166
Is that so?
00:34:02.166 --> 00:34:05.250
-Look, it's happening.
-Where? Yeah, it is!
00:34:06.541 --> 00:34:07.541
Amazing!
00:34:09.916 --> 00:34:11.666
Let's get on that one.
00:34:12.666 --> 00:34:14.416
Don't worry if you can't.
00:34:14.416 --> 00:34:15.666
That's OK.
00:34:16.416 --> 00:34:17.500
I can do that.
00:34:17.916 --> 00:34:19.166
A ferris wheel?
00:34:19.166 --> 00:34:22.916
That's OK, but I couldn't bear being
at the highest point.
00:34:22.916 --> 00:34:24.291
You can't avoid that.
00:34:25.416 --> 00:34:29.750
You'd see more live shows and
movies if you'd stayed in Tokyo.
00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:32.000
Maybe so.
00:34:32.416 --> 00:34:36.166
Now that we have the Internet,
everywhere is much the same.
00:34:36.166 --> 00:34:38.416
-You're right.
-Yeah.
00:34:40.166 --> 00:34:43.500
You can do anything from anywhere...
supposedly.
00:34:44.250 --> 00:34:45.041
Right.
00:34:46.541 --> 00:34:49.666
Heard of Tobe Hooper's
"The Funhouse"?
00:34:49.916 --> 00:34:50.750
No.
00:34:50.916 --> 00:34:53.666
An old horror film had something like this.
00:34:54.166 --> 00:34:55.000
Yeah?
00:35:02.916 --> 00:35:04.041
Wanna try?
00:35:04.791 --> 00:35:05.750
Yes.
00:35:11.791 --> 00:35:12.666
I...
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.500
Before I moved,
I was in a band in Tokyo.
00:35:17.041 --> 00:35:17.791
I see.
00:35:19.166 --> 00:35:21.500
It wasn't a major record company
or anything,
00:35:22.166 --> 00:35:26.041
but a fairly well-known indie label
wanted to sign us.
00:35:27.041 --> 00:35:27.666
Yes.
00:35:29.250 --> 00:35:30.500
And...
00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:34.750
the band was happy.
"Our lives have gone up a notch!"
00:35:35.166 --> 00:35:35.750
Yes...
00:35:36.916 --> 00:35:39.291
But then the label's producer told me...
00:35:40.750 --> 00:35:45.416
to leave the band so they'd have a better
chance of success.
00:35:46.541 --> 00:35:47.250
Oh my...
00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:50.916
I didn't agree, and resisted.
00:35:52.041 --> 00:35:55.500
The other members pleaded with me to leave.
00:35:59.750 --> 00:36:02.416
Before I knew it,
I'd punched the producer.
00:36:07.916 --> 00:36:11.166
I ended up getting expelled from school.
00:36:11.916 --> 00:36:14.041
I couldn't be in the band anymore.
00:36:17.041 --> 00:36:18.750
So I moved here.
00:36:21.416 --> 00:36:22.500
I see.
00:36:34.750 --> 00:36:35.666
I'm sorry.
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.416
I shouldn't have said it when
we're having fun.
00:36:39.416 --> 00:36:40.500
No.
00:36:41.416 --> 00:36:43.166
Thanks for telling me that.
00:36:46.916 --> 00:36:47.916
But...
00:36:50.250 --> 00:36:52.666
I don't think of it as a defeat.
00:36:54.416 --> 00:36:56.541
I'm going to start again here.
00:36:58.916 --> 00:37:04.291
I'd like to tour not only in Tokyo,
but also in London and New York clubs...
00:37:04.791 --> 00:37:05.666
if I can.
00:37:09.250 --> 00:37:13.500
But it's good that you'll be back in
school tomorrow, right?
00:37:16.166 --> 00:37:18.416
Yes, but it's kind of embarrassing.
00:37:22.666 --> 00:37:26.041
We talked about movies, didn't we?
00:37:26.416 --> 00:37:29.416
Could you take me to a Nagoya movie theater?

All right.

"This coral reef from here to Yamaguchi
came from Hawaii.
00:37:45.666 --> 00:37:48.166
I didn't know that.
00:37:48.166 --> 00:37:51.750
This gigantic thing came drifting over here.
00:37:51.750 --> 00:37:55.750
I believe that's how the Japanese
Archipelago was formed.
00:37:56.750 --> 00:38:00.250
If that's true, it must've been
incredibly huge.
00:38:01.916 --> 00:38:04.750
People may think of Japan
as one big entity
00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:09.916
but actually it's a mosaic made of
bits and pieces that ended up here.
00:38:15.416 --> 00:38:18.250
Kenji, I'll show you something nice.

00:39:38.666 --> 00:39:41.666
What do you expect?
I'm preparing for an exam.
00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:43.166
Yeah.
00:39:48.166 --> 00:39:50.166
I didn't say anything, did I?
00:39:58.416 --> 00:39:59.416
I...
00:40:03.166 --> 00:40:05.500
I've decided to quit school after all.
00:40:09.250 --> 00:40:11.166
What are you going to do?
00:40:11.750 --> 00:40:13.791
I'm going to concentrate on music.
00:40:13.791 --> 00:40:14.750
And?
00:40:16.916 --> 00:40:20.416
I'll make a living from music,
streaming and playing live.
00:40:21.750 --> 00:40:24.000
Are you being realistic?
00:40:28.416 --> 00:40:29.500
What do you mean?
00:40:33.416 --> 00:40:36.916
How many people
make a living from music alone?
00:40:37.166 --> 00:40:38.750
There must be quite a few.
00:40:38.750 --> 00:40:42.000
Who can do that with
the kind of music you make?
00:40:48.166 --> 00:40:50.166
What kind of music do I make?
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.166
You don't even know that.
00:41:05.916 --> 00:41:08.666
I like your music.
00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:10.541
But...
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.291
Whether it's good or bad and whether
it's a living are two different things.
00:41:23.750 --> 00:41:25.916
Anyway, I've already quit school.
00:41:27.541 --> 00:41:28.541
What?
00:41:30.166 --> 00:41:32.250
I'll look for a job now.
00:44:32.541 --> 00:44:34.416

00:44:37.291 --> 00:44:40.166
I can't do that.
Not after leaving school.

Right.

00:44:49.416 --> 00:44:50.916
I'm getting a job.

00:44:53.416 --> 00:44:54.250
No.

Right.
00:45:13.666 --> 00:45:14.666
Yeah.

on SoundCloud about releasing an album.

Wow, that's great!
00:45:40.750 --> 00:45:41.666
Yeah.
00:45:43.916 --> 00:45:46.750

00:45:47.916 --> 00:45:53.000
I tried the other day,
but couldn't put it into words.

00:47:17.500 --> 00:47:20.916
Well, not more than ¥20,000.
00:47:21.541 --> 00:47:23.666
What about food? How much?
00:47:24.750 --> 00:47:26.250
Why do you ask?

I don't know.
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.416

00:56:08.916 --> 00:56:12.666
It can no longer light
00:56:12.916 --> 00:56:17.166
your way back home
00:56:17.166 --> 00:56:23.750
But please don't look so sad
00:56:24.291 --> 00:56:32.500
as the curtain comes down on everything
00:57:44.041 --> 00:57:45.666
I'm gonna get something.
00:58:34.916 --> 00:58:35.916
Want some?
00:58:50.666 --> 00:58:51.541
Hey.
00:58:54.500 --> 00:58:56.416
Shall we break up?
00:59:13.166 --> 00:59:15.041
The people we saw in the mountains...
00:59:15.500 --> 00:59:17.666
this could be them.
00:59:19.500 --> 00:59:21.000
UNITED RED ARMY
00:59:21.916 --> 00:59:23.166
No, it's not.
00:59:24.666 --> 00:59:28.916
They were probably hippies who fled Tokyo,
scared of the nuclear radiation.
00:59:28.916 --> 00:59:29.916
You think?
00:59:30.416 --> 00:59:31.250
Yeah.
00:59:37.791 --> 00:59:38.666
Hey.
00:59:39.416 --> 00:59:40.541
How have you been?
00:59:42.500 --> 00:59:43.666
What do you mean?
00:59:44.916 --> 00:59:46.666
Do you feel lonely sometimes?
00:59:48.916 --> 00:59:49.750
No.
00:59:51.541 --> 00:59:52.500
OK.
00:59:54.750 --> 00:59:56.166
I mean...
00:59:56.166 --> 00:59:59.416
We broke up that night, didn't we?
01:00:06.416 --> 01:00:11.416
AUGUST 2020
01:00:11.666 --> 01:00:14.916
It'll still be a while before I can enter the U.S.
01:00:16.666 --> 01:00:21.166
If you're stuck in Osaka on your way to Canada,
go back to your parents' place.
01:00:21.916 --> 01:00:22.916
Right.
01:00:23.416 --> 01:00:29.000
My friend wants to go to the U.S. and she's stuck
in the Philippines, so maybe my situation isn't so bad.
01:00:29.541 --> 01:00:30.791
What about you?
01:00:31.166 --> 01:00:36.000
I've come all the way to Tokyo for university,
but haven't been to a single class yet.
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.666
All of them are online.
01:00:37.666 --> 01:00:39.000
I thought so.
01:00:42.916 --> 01:00:44.666
Don't you feel Zoom is...
01:00:45.416 --> 01:00:46.916
so tiring?
01:00:48.416 --> 01:00:50.541
You don't know what to focus on.
01:00:51.750 --> 01:00:54.916
You're right. Why is it like that?
01:00:56.916 --> 01:00:58.666
What's with the Kansai accent?
01:00:59.166 --> 01:00:59.916
Eh?
01:01:00.416 --> 01:01:04.250
I've lived in Osaka for quite some time
and it's grown on me.
01:01:34.500 --> 01:01:35.916
-Makoto-san.
-Yes?
01:01:36.500 --> 01:01:39.791
-Which piano parts should I wipe?
-Just the outside will be fine.
01:01:40.416 --> 01:01:41.000
OK.
01:02:45.958 --> 01:02:49.416
CLUB WILL BE CLOSED AS OF
MAY 31, 2020
01:02:57.500 --> 01:03:00.500
FROM ERI: LET'S GET TOGETHER TONIGHT.
01:03:05.666 --> 01:03:06.916
Thank you.
01:03:10.166 --> 01:03:12.416
How are your projects going?
01:03:13.500 --> 01:03:14.916
OK, I guess.
01:03:15.750 --> 01:03:16.750
And you?
01:03:16.750 --> 01:03:19.541
I'm OK too, I guess.
01:03:21.250 --> 01:03:25.750
I was going to do a spring live show in Tokyo,
but it was canceled due to COVID.
01:03:25.750 --> 01:03:30.250
Yeah. I heard that Tokyo got hit badly too.
01:03:30.500 --> 01:03:34.750
Yes, it must be so hard for music clubs.
01:03:34.750 --> 01:03:39.416
Must be. So I think this is a time for self-preservation
01:03:39.416 --> 01:03:42.041
and for trying a new business for a while.
01:03:42.291 --> 01:03:43.250
Yeah?
01:03:43.416 --> 01:03:46.666
Jun, have you heard of venture businesses?
01:03:47.041 --> 01:03:48.500
I know the Ventures.
01:03:49.500 --> 01:03:52.166
Close, but no cigar!
01:03:53.291 --> 01:03:56.666
There are microorganisms in the soil, right?
01:03:57.250 --> 01:03:57.916
Yes...
01:03:58.166 --> 01:04:02.416
Apparently, they're being traded
by farmers at a very high price.
01:04:03.291 --> 01:04:04.000
Ah.
01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:07.666
So there's plastic, right?
Used in drink bottles.
01:04:07.666 --> 01:04:08.416
Yes.
01:04:08.666 --> 01:04:13.166
Some microorganisms can break down plastic.
01:04:13.666 --> 01:04:14.166
Wow.
01:04:14.166 --> 01:04:18.500
Surprising, isn't it?
I heard they can be sold for a lot of money.
01:04:19.166 --> 01:04:19.666
Yeah?
01:04:19.666 --> 01:04:22.916
The plan is to grow a bunch of them.
01:04:23.666 --> 01:04:24.666
Sounds great.
01:04:24.666 --> 01:04:29.166
Isn't it amazing that such tiny bugs can
decompose plastic?
01:04:29.750 --> 01:04:30.666
Yes, it is.
01:04:31.166 --> 01:04:34.291
I thought plastic wouldn't break down
for thousands of years.
01:04:34.291 --> 01:04:39.416
Yeah. So, make money while
contributing to environmental protection.
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:41.000
You know what?
01:04:42.500 --> 01:04:44.541
This is the real hip-hop life style.
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:46.666
-Is it?
-Yes.
01:04:46.666 --> 01:04:50.500
I hear that smart people call these
schemes "STDs".
01:04:51.166 --> 01:04:52.916
-Is that right?
-Yes.
01:04:53.416 --> 01:04:55.166
-I've just got smarter.
-You bet.
01:05:17.416 --> 01:05:18.250
Ibuki!
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.000
Something to drink?
01:05:21.541 --> 01:05:22.416
Well...
01:05:23.416 --> 01:05:24.416
What do you want?
01:05:24.750 --> 01:05:25.916
Coke, please.
01:05:26.166 --> 01:05:27.916
Rum and coke. All right.
01:05:28.041 --> 01:05:29.000
Just a sec.
01:06:16.750 --> 01:06:21.750
AUGUST 2021
01:06:28.916 --> 01:06:33.750
"Athletes who came to the Tokyo Olympics
tested positive for corona virus..."
01:06:34.166 --> 01:06:35.416
What are you doing?
01:06:36.416 --> 01:06:39.250
Haoran, Exne's record, have you seen it?
01:06:39.750 --> 01:06:41.916
I had it on display here
until a few days ago.
01:06:42.166 --> 01:06:43.166
I don't know.
01:06:43.666 --> 01:06:45.750
You saw it propped up there, didn't you?
01:06:46.166 --> 01:06:47.916
-Did I?
-Yes.
01:06:49.291 --> 01:06:50.541
What does it look like?
01:06:50.916 --> 01:06:54.666
It has a slightly psychedelic cover.
It's a live record from 1974.
01:06:55.250 --> 01:06:57.416
-Did we have such a thing?
-Yes.
01:07:00.416 --> 01:07:03.166
Umm... what band is that album by?
01:07:03.166 --> 01:07:05.166
Maybe a picture will help me remember.
01:07:05.416 --> 01:07:09.166
Exne Kedy's "Strolling Planet '74".
01:07:09.291 --> 01:07:10.791
Ex Kennedy's...
01:07:10.791 --> 01:07:12.916
Street Planets '74.
01:07:13.166 --> 01:07:16.666
No, Exne Kedy's Strolling Planet.
01:07:17.250 --> 01:07:18.916
Ex Kedy's...
01:07:20.250 --> 01:07:21.416
Street...
01:07:24.250 --> 01:07:25.416
It doesn't come up.
01:07:25.916 --> 01:07:27.250
That's impossible.
01:07:27.541 --> 01:07:29.291
They're big in the glam genre.
01:07:29.416 --> 01:07:31.166
Try the album title then.
01:07:32.666 --> 01:07:33.916
How do you spell it?
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:34.916
S
01:07:35.291 --> 01:07:36.166
t
01:07:36.416 --> 01:07:37.166
r
01:07:37.416 --> 01:07:38.041
o
01:07:38.416 --> 01:07:39.291
ll
01:07:39.416 --> 01:07:40.916
ing
01:07:40.916 --> 01:07:42.500
Planet.
01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:45.250
"First place goes to the Russian Olympic Committee..."
01:07:46.166 --> 01:07:47.166
Umm...
01:07:47.750 --> 01:07:48.666
Nothing.
01:07:48.666 --> 01:07:51.000
Try a Google search, not Buydo.
01:07:51.416 --> 01:07:52.750
Buydo is more accurate.
01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:54.250
Just do it.
01:07:59.166 --> 01:08:01.041
Plastic is a material that
01:08:01.416 --> 01:08:04.166
you can easily transform into anything,
01:08:04.750 --> 01:08:06.541
is extremely easy to use,
01:08:06.541 --> 01:08:08.916
and is surprisingly long-lasting.
01:08:08.916 --> 01:08:13.041
For these reasons it is indispensable
in our lives today.
01:08:13.916 --> 01:08:14.916
On the other hand,
01:08:15.250 --> 01:08:17.750
because of its rather too high durability,
01:08:17.750 --> 01:08:23.166
it will not return to the soil for 100 years,
1,000 years, or even 10,000 years.
01:08:25.166 --> 01:08:28.916
Think about the plastics that we use
every day.
01:08:29.500 --> 01:08:33.291
They keep accumulating in the ocean where
01:08:33.291 --> 01:08:37.166
your children and grandchildren will swim.
01:08:39.541 --> 01:08:43.000
Unlike memories that you can't erase
01:08:43.291 --> 01:08:46.416
even if you want to,
01:08:47.166 --> 01:08:49.750
you can actually get rid of plastic
01:08:49.750 --> 01:08:54.000
in an inexpensive and sustainable way,
using the microorganism
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:56.250
developed by our company,
01:08:56.250 --> 01:08:58.666
NIGHT RIDER 58.
01:08:59.500 --> 01:09:01.916
It has a special enzyme...
01:09:01.916 --> 01:09:04.166
No, no, no, no.
01:09:05.041 --> 01:09:07.166
That last part was incomprehensible.
01:09:07.666 --> 01:09:08.416
Was it?
01:09:08.750 --> 01:09:13.916
Um... Plastic has nothing to do with
your love life, does it?
01:09:14.416 --> 01:09:16.916
-I didn't say anything about my love life.
-No, no.
01:09:17.250 --> 01:09:21.916
I know I said to grab the hearts of
customers, put emotion into your talk.
01:09:22.750 --> 01:09:25.166
But that was too emotional, wasn't it?
01:09:25.666 --> 01:09:26.500
Maybe...
01:09:27.500 --> 01:09:29.041
I'll go to the washroom.
01:09:44.916 --> 01:09:45.666
Jun!
01:09:53.250 --> 01:09:54.416
Oh!
01:09:55.416 --> 01:09:56.541
Long time no see.
01:09:58.166 --> 01:09:59.166
You've been well?
01:10:01.250 --> 01:10:02.000
Yes.
01:10:04.750 --> 01:10:05.666
And you?
01:10:07.666 --> 01:10:09.000
Fairly well...
01:10:11.250 --> 01:10:12.666
Are you working now?
01:10:14.250 --> 01:10:14.916
Yeah.
01:10:18.500 --> 01:10:20.416
Can we meet again soon?
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:22.791
We have a lot to talk about.
01:10:24.916 --> 01:10:25.750
Sure.
01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:28.000
Your Line ID?
01:10:28.416 --> 01:10:29.916
It's changed.
01:10:30.166 --> 01:10:31.750
Get me your QR code.
01:10:32.166 --> 01:10:33.000
OK.
01:10:44.291 --> 01:10:46.041
-Thanks.
-Yeah.
01:10:49.416 --> 01:10:52.916
There was an American writer
called William Faulkner.
01:10:53.791 --> 01:11:03.416
He is known for his stories set in
the fictional Yoknapatawpha County.
01:11:05.416 --> 01:11:07.916
His frequent use of "stream of consciousness"...
01:11:17.750 --> 01:11:21.291
-I'm off now. See you.
-See you.
01:11:56.916 --> 01:12:01.000
7-11 WAS CLOSED, SO I'LL HAVE
CHICKEN RAMEN. IT'S GOT SMALLER.
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:04.916
YOU HAD A LONG NIGHT.
01:12:04.916 --> 01:12:08.416
THAT'S OK.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING HOME?
01:12:08.416 --> 01:12:11.166
SOON.
01:12:11.166 --> 01:12:14.666
ROGER.
01:13:15.416 --> 01:13:23.541
I WONDER IF MY MUSIC IS LIKE THAT
MESSAGE THAT WAS SENT TO SPACE.
01:13:23.541 --> 01:13:27.416
?
01:13:32.916 --> 01:13:43.333
AFTER IT TAKES 25,000 LIGHT YEARS TO
GET THERE, I'LL NEVER KNOW WHO GETS IT.
01:13:59.416 --> 01:14:06.666
YOUR MESSAGE HAS ALREADY
REACHED ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.
01:14:06.666 --> 01:14:11.166
IT HAS?
01:14:50.916 --> 01:15:01.250
MAYBE YOU JUST DIDN'T NOTICE THE REPLY
THAT TOOK 25,000 LIGHT YEARS TO ARRIVE.
01:15:06.166 --> 01:15:11.166
JUST KIDDING.
01:16:56.250 --> 01:16:57.500
Hello?
01:17:02.666 --> 01:17:03.541
Sorry.
01:17:05.416 --> 01:17:06.916
Were you sleeping?
01:17:09.166 --> 01:17:10.416
Yes.
01:17:14.666 --> 01:17:16.041
It's been a while.
01:17:18.500 --> 01:17:19.250
Yes.
01:17:22.291 --> 01:17:23.750
What's the matter?
01:17:27.166 --> 01:17:29.000
Nothing...
01:17:31.916 --> 01:17:34.250
Just wonder how you are.
01:17:36.041 --> 01:17:37.250
I see...
01:17:45.916 --> 01:17:47.500
How's Tokyo?
01:17:50.916 --> 01:17:52.416
Tokyo is...
01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:56.500
like a giant shopping mall.
01:17:58.250 --> 01:17:59.291
Mmm.
01:18:02.166 --> 01:18:04.416
What are you doing these days?
01:18:06.750 --> 01:18:10.666
I'm taking classes, working part-time,
01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:14.291
and hanging out with friends.
01:18:17.166 --> 01:18:18.291
I see.
01:18:19.250 --> 01:18:20.416
Yeah.
01:18:23.416 --> 01:18:26.000
Has COVID changed your life?
01:18:27.041 --> 01:18:28.166
Yeah.
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:35.541
Most of my classes are now online,
so I have more time to be with my friends.
01:18:42.666 --> 01:18:43.500
Right.
01:18:44.666 --> 01:18:45.416
Yes...
01:18:56.750 --> 01:18:58.000
Hello?

Ibuki.
01:19:04.666 --> 01:19:05.666
Yes.
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:11.750
Are you there?
01:19:13.916 --> 01:19:15.000
What?
01:19:17.750 --> 01:19:19.500
Are you there?
01:19:29.041 --> 01:19:30.500
I'm here.
01:19:32.750 --> 01:19:34.291
And you, Jun?
01:19:37.666 --> 01:19:39.000
I'm here.
01:19:39.416 --> 01:19:41.166
I'm still here.
01:19:51.916 --> 01:19:53.166
Sorry.
01:19:56.166 --> 01:19:57.916
And thanks.
01:20:02.416 --> 01:20:03.416
Yeah.
01:20:07.500 --> 01:20:08.500
Good night.
01:21:26.666 --> 01:21:27.958
Shit...

AUGUST 2022
01:22:42.500 --> 01:22:45.916
So, was it just for fun after all?
01:22:46.916 --> 01:22:48.791
Well, you know.
01:22:49.250 --> 01:22:51.500
It got pretty serious.
01:22:53.041 --> 01:22:55.750
-I got tired of Simon.
-Right.
01:22:57.416 --> 01:22:59.541
I might dare to hook up with Reina.
01:22:59.916 --> 01:23:00.916
Seriously?
01:23:03.041 --> 01:23:03.750
Well...
01:23:04.666 --> 01:23:09.666
Never know when or where you'll die,
so might as well enjoy yourself while you can.
01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:12.916
I guess so...
01:23:13.916 --> 01:23:20.000
You know Riku, who always comments on Hao's
Instagram? It's apparently a woman, not a guy.
01:23:20.500 --> 01:23:21.916
Is that right?
01:23:22.791 --> 01:23:24.916
-That was an interesting movie.
-Yeah.
01:23:25.166 --> 01:23:29.666
Animation today is amazing.
You can't tell it's not a real movie.
01:23:31.666 --> 01:23:35.666
Soon reality will become anime,
and anime will become reality.
01:23:36.166 --> 01:23:40.416
True. Looking at the world right now,
I can't imagine what it'll be like
01:23:40.416 --> 01:23:43.250
in five years' time, let alone ten.
01:23:43.250 --> 01:23:44.166
Right.
01:23:49.416 --> 01:23:50.541
So, Jun.
01:23:52.666 --> 01:23:54.250
Why don't you live with me?
01:23:55.291 --> 01:23:57.416
Will you accept a reply from me?
01:23:57.416 --> 01:24:01.666
I'm beside you right now,
not in 25,000 light years.

each other is left up to fate
