Closed Diary (2007) - full transcript

Where's the UFO?

She's a girl I met in Nepal

So cute!

She's very cute!

Is your girlfriend in this artbook too?

Nope

You should draw one for her

I can't...

I'm too shy

Umm...

Sorry for last time, I didn't go to your concert



because I didn't finish my work and couldn't go

That's OK. By the way,

I'm looking forward to

your drawing last time

Ah...

Please make me look more beautiful than
the real person

Ah, I have an art gallery coming up

Art gallery?

That's great!

Ah, but with my skills,

it's only aimed towards publishers and
advertisement firms

to let them know our existence (market art??)

Is there anything I could do to help?

Eh?



I'm done with my concert, I have lots
of free time

Feel free to ask me for help

Then...

mandolin?

Mandolin?

OK, I understand. I'll try my best.

Really?

Yes

That's great!

I'm looking forward to it

Let's go sing karaoke

Yeah, let's karaoke!

Eh, again?

It's fun!

I also want to go

Wanna go?

Kae

Do you want to sing karaoke with us?

I'm going to practice a bit more

That's rare. What's the matter?
The concert is already over

Yeah, usually you're the one who
nags everyone to go karaoke

Sorry

Let's go

Kae's not going

Let's go

Everyone worked hard

Bye bye

July 24th

I suddenly decided to visit Takashi

He likes to eat the quail eggs that I put in meatballs

He says, he gets more energy after eating them

And thus calls the meatballs "Power ball"

Power ball...

sounds kind of nice

Coming

I brought something for you to eat

Thanks

Do you like meatballs?

Yes, I like them

Ah, I'm glad

What's this?

This is...

something I will eat at the park

Let's eat together

Can we?

Please

Sorry for the intrusion

Do you want tea or water

Tea please

OK

Ishitobi-san

Yes?

You must draw well ever since you were a kid

Eh? What?

Ah, thanks!

You have a guest?

This is someone who helped me out
at the pen shop

I'm Horii

Yup. Horii Kae-san

Ah, I remember! The interesting girl that you
told me about is her, right?

Hello...

Hello

She helped me a lot with work

Eh, what's her name again?

You...

Ouch. She's Yamazaki Hoshi

Ah, I bought too many dishes

I also have wine

You're so smart

Here

Sit here

Go ahead and eat

Are you a student?

Yes

Do you also want to become an artist?

No...

I want to become an elementary teacher

That's hard

Ah, that newspaper serial...

because the novel didn't get good reactions,
they're going to remove it by the end of this month

Ehhh??!!

Even though I don't think the author is very good,

this is too fast

It's really horrible, isn't it?

Yeah

That's why

I got you a new gig

You're awesome

Here

This is a national advertisement,
pretty good huh?

Yeah

Want to do it?
Yes, I want to do it

What's up?

Ah, sorry for intruding on your work

No...

I'll eat it if you put it down

Ah, it's OK. I'm really sorry

Sorry!

I wanted to receive something special from Takashi

Something that's...just for me

Hey

Did you pass the ?? bridge today?

Ah, I did

Did you go with a woman?

Yup, a co-worker

I see

Why? Are you mad?

No, I'm not

You are angry

No I'm not. Why would I get mad?

Then that's good

I hope you're (Takashi) not only listening to the
surface meanings of my words

I hope you will understand my heart

But then again, I'm just thinking to
myself again

In the end,

perhaps I don't want to hurt myself

Because of that thought,
Takashi & I didn't contact for a long time

However, I suddenly saw him on the way
home from school

Takashi told me that legends say that

this river had a 7-color carp

If you saw that carp,
your wishes will come true

This is my first time hearing this story

Did that girl come to school?

Not yet

I see

Then...if you see the 7-color carp,

make a wish for her to come to school

Takashi didn't say anything about last time

But I feel happy with what he said already

I like you (Takashi)

That's enough, right?

Ishitobi-san?

Ishitobi-san!

Do you know the legend about

this river having a 7-color carp?

Eh,

there's a legend like that?

Yup. I heard it from lovers' stories

Ah...

There isn't a carp, right?

Ah...

Are you leaving?

Yeah

Do you want a ride?

OK!

Kae-chan, do you come by this river often?

Yup, it's close to my school

Ah, I see

Do you also pass by here often?

Yes, often

Then,

we might've passed each other here often

Hmm, you're right

It's so hard for people to meet

Before you're aware of the person,

no matter how many times people pass each other,
they're not really "meeting"

After you become aware of the person,

Then, you've really met

You're right

I...

am glad I'm able to meet you

Sorry, what did you say?

Nothing

Hold on tight! Grab onto my back.

OK

Kimio-chan! Kimio!

Kimio! Kimio!

Kimio!

Kimio!

Kimio!

Kimio-chan...

Welcome back, Kimio-chan!

Thanks, everyone

Even though we didn't win #1,

to be able to sing this song with everyone...
I will treasure this memory forever

In my heart, I will always remember this song

I've gained courage from these kids

If I don't give up, wishes will come true

I also need to pursue my dreams

and never give up

I can do it!

Eh?

Huh?

Umm...

Excuse me

I'm Kae

Ishitobi-san?

Ah, don't come out

Please hear my words from there

I...

like you

Do you have someone you like?

Or someone that you're dating?

Sorry

Um...

It's not me if there is such a person

You don't know anything, right?

His heart...

has always had someone in it

The person in this painting is not you

It's "that" person

He only used you for the outlines
of the picture

That painting...

is also "that" person

I'm so embarassed,

I can't believe I lost Yamada's test

Ishitobi-san's name...

is Ryuu, right?

Yup

That's his pen name

His real name is...

Takashi

What about it?

You still live in that apartment?

Yup

You're a teacher now, huh?

Takashi...

What's the matter?

Here

Takashi...

Long time no see

What are you doing?

Nothing

What is it?

Are you hiding something?

Nope

Let me see it!

What is it? Let me see!

Look! Nothing nothing nothing!

You're sneaky...

I don't want to get soaked

Kae-chan

I heard from Hoshi

I'm sorry

I already have someone I like

She used to live here

but I was too afraid

to tell that person

my feelings

I also didn't have the courage to
paint her front face

That's why...I treat you as her shadow
since you live in the same place

I know to you, this is mean and unfair

I'm sorry

Still, I hope you will still come to
see my art exhibit

I will wait for you

Ishitobi-san!

Why can't it be me?

I met you!

Not just brushed shoulders with you

I've put you in my heart

Even if that painting isn't me,

but I still feel thankful and lucky
that I'm able to meet you

I...

Sorry

?? school?
若草

Yes, I know that school, but
why do you want to go?

This notebook...

I want to return it to its owner

Are you meeting your love rival?

For someone who just lost her love,
you're very kind

I...

can't hold on to this diary forever

Truthfully, I want to see this teacher

What happens after you meet her?

I don't know

But I've learned so much from this diary

I learned how to love someone purely

Kae-chan...

You are really in love

Can I ask you girls something?

OK

Are you students from ?? school?

Yes

Then, have you heard of Ibuki sensei?

Is she still at school?

Um...

She died

What?

Mano sensei died

She died?

What's up?

Sorry, my shoe laces are loose

Hey,

can I ask you something?

Were you in Ibuki-sensei's class?

Yup

Can you tell me a little bit about her?

Did you know her?

She's my senior (senpai), do you understand?

Yes, I understand

Is it true that...

she died?

When she left school on her motorcycle,
she hit a truck

On the last day of school?

I really liked Ibuki-sensei

Me too!

Me too!

Is Kimio-chan here?

Kimi-chan!

Kimi-chan

That big sister seems to be Ibuki-sensei's
junior

Let's go

Are you Kimio-chan?

Yes

I...

actually, I haven't met Ibuki-chan before

Right now,

I live in Ibuki-sensei's old apartment

I read the diary she left there

Peeking at other people's thoughts
probably isn't right...

but I've learned a lot from reading this

Ibuki's words

gave me a lot of courage

Look

she wrote a lot about you in here

I...

caused Ibuki-sensei to worry a lot

Sensei taught me that

we all have strengths in our hearts

"the strength of the heart"

I also learned it from her

This...

what is it?

On the last day of school,

Ibuki-sensei threw this out of the window

Kimi-chan, what's the matter?

March 22nd

Farewell day

I didn't want this day to come

A lot has happened this year

I believe

you're all bright and shiny children
of the sun

You're able to use your pure hearts

and constantly strengthen class 4(2)

We're a great, big family

Don't ever forget the strengths of your hearts

Always continue on with it

Then...

Today's Ibuki Medal,

is for all 36 of you!

Yay!

Yay!

First, Moriyoku-kun gets one

Hai

Looks good, congrats!

Congrats!

Here, Kimio-chan

You've worked hard

Great job

It's really been a great year

Congrats!

I gained lots of power and strengths from Class 4(2)

You did a great job

Watching everyone's smile push me to
work harder everyday

Thanks everyone for giving me a great year

Congrats!

And then,

the times when I was scary, please forgive me

You've worked hard!

Congrats!

Don't cry

1...2...

3!

Yay!!!

Everyone probably know already taht

because I didn't do very well on my
daily column,

it was cancelled midway

However, Ishitobi-san did the illustrations
for me,

and he received good praise from both
the readers and the editors

Truthfully, I'm a little jealous

That's why, in my next novel,

I want to write about the story of
a father and his daughter

This way,

I will ask Ishitobi to draw the
illustrations first,

and we can come up with the story
side by side with the illustrations

What I want to say is,

Ishitobi's art

effectively enables people to remember stories

I think his work is great

In the future, Ishitobi-san will...

Let's thank novelist ???

Thank you!

Please feel free open discussions now

You came!

Thank you

The person in the picture,

I believe we're very similar

Next, invited by Ishitobi-san

Performing mandolin,

please welcome Kae-san!

Please

Please

Eh, where's your mandolin?

I forgot...

Ah...

I'm Horie Kae

I came even though I don't really belong here,

because I work at a pen store

and met Ishitobi-san

No matter what I say to Ishitobi-san
right now,

I won't be able to pass on to him

a message of blessing and encouragement

Therefore,

I brought along a message from
someone who couldn't be here

In my room,

I accidentally found a diary left
by the previous owner

On the last page, she left these words

She's writing to the one she loves

This is for Ishitobi-san

Perhaps I'm exaggerating,

but I think people meet each other

because their destinies are connected

To be able to meet unexpectedly in a limited time,

I believe it's a miracle

Before I met you,

I was like these kids, I only
knew how to dream

However, words cannot describe

how lucky I am right now

If this is a dream, I hope I will never wake up

If this is reality,

even if it's only a moment, I don't care

I can say proudly that I'm doing great

Just thinking about you now,

my heart feels warm

To me, you're where the sun is

Even though you seem cold on the outside,

inside, your heart is like the sun

I'm probably not the only one who
thinks this way

Because you have so much charm

From your paintings, I also saw

those who also felt your charm and your talent

There will be many others in the future too

Amongst them, you will shine brightly

It's my greatest happiness if I can just
stay by your side and silently protect you

Takashi

I'm so glad that I met you

Onee-chan

Onee-chan!

Kimio-chan, I delivered the message!

1...2...

Fly!

Wow...

Ibuki-sensei, thanks for the strength of your heart!

I will draw

and not lose to Ibuki

I will continue to draw

Me too

I will learn from Ibuki-sensei

and become a great teacher

Kae-chan

Yes?

Thank you

Hope you enjoyed this pre-release

the final version of the subs will come out in the
next week or so

Stay tuned for YUI ^_^
