Koi suru nichiyobi watashi. Koishita (2007) - full transcript
Nagisa, a high school girl who has been given only 3 months to live. Without telling her widowed father where she's going, she sets out from the city to the small town where she was born. She recalls her childhood memories, and her love for Satoshi begins to grow stronger. However, she is shocked to discover that Satoshi is having an affair with Eriko, a married woman. One day, when Nagisa meets Eriko's daughter, Madoka, she ends up taking her away.
They can admit you any time.
Let's go eat something.
We came to this hospital a lot
when Mom was sick...
Yeah, that's right.
My doctor's the same as Mom's.
Dad...
Yes?
How long...
do I have?
Love on Sunday: Last Words
Dear Dad...
I'm sorry. Don't worry.
There's someone I want to see.
I'm going to visit him.
Hello?
Nagisa?
It's been ages!
Three years.
- Since you moved...
- Yeah.
- How old are you now?
- 17.
17, huh?
And you're 26.
Is your dad here?
No.
Just you?
I'm flying solo.
What happened?
Nothing.
Can I stay? This is my last chance
before college entrance exams.
Do you mind?
No problem.
Good. Thanks.
Come in.
Here I am!
Dinner's ready.
It's so nice to be back...
But I never thought
you'd be living here alone.
My folks were just going to
leave the lot vacant.
So I said I'd live here.
Wasn't the new house better?
Nope.
I prefer the house I was born in.
It's got memories.
Yeah...
Bon appetit.
How are your mom and dad?
They're great.
They're putting in flower beds.
My sister's had a baby, so they're
full-time grandparents now.
Yeah?
This is good.
I'm sorry about last year.
Not coming to the funeral.
That's ok.
Mom was in hospital three months,
and I went there every day.
She told me lots of things.
How she met Dad,
even how he proposed to her.
And about when I was born.
And I wrote down lots of recipes
to cook the way she did.
I filled up two notebooks
so I can make anything now.
It's good
you had that time together.
Yeah.
Were you there at the end?
Just when they wheeled her
into the operating room.
Oh.
This is good!
Damn right!
Where do these go?
In there, at the bottom.
- Here?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Can't you sleep?
No.
So where to tomorrow?
Places.
Where?
Oh, the park, the light-house,
the mountain...
The shrine?
I went there already.
I saw a cat die.
A cat?
Yeah.
Maybe a stray...
If it were a pet, you'd think
its owner would be looking for it.
They might not realize
till it didn't come home.
Why not?
They say you never see
a cat's last moments.
When a cat knows
its time has come...
it leaves its owner
and looks for a place to die.
It goes off and dies alone.
I wonder why...
Me, too.
My grandma told me that.
We could go see.
Why?
Someone should bury it.
Oh.
Here goes...
It works!
Yep.
- Want some watermelon?
- Sure.
Hang on...
I'm done.
Its owner took off one night
and left it.
I've fed it a lot.
"Here lies Mike"
This vehicle collects
large-sized refuse.
If in your yard or garage
you have an unused...
TV, radio-cassette player,
refrigerator or similar appliance...
or a chest, desk, chair...
or similar large or heavy object,
whatever it may be...
if you wish to have it removed,
please feel free to...
Didn't you always want
to go to sea?
Yep. I wanted to be
a ship's captain.
But when I got on a real ship...
I got seasick and threw up.
I couldn't swim, either.
So there was no way.
I almost went to Tokyo, too.
To do what?
Anything.
Anyway, this job will do for now.
I don't mind it.
Thanks.
Sometimes I'd like to save up
and move on, though.
- Hop in.
- Yeah.
The hut's still here!
Yep.
You used to come here and study.
While you read comics.
Let's eat.
Do you always make lunch?
No. Sometimes I buy it
at a convenience store.
Here.
Thanks.
And there.
Okay!
But it's amazing...
What?
People throwing out fans and
air conditioners they could still use.
People throw things out
when they get old...
or when something minor
goes wrong with them.
But most things can be fixed.
And people buy them who don't care
about design, or that they're old.
Come to think of it,
you fixed my bike once.
You have a good memory.
I was really happy.
I think it's good to have
a feeling for old things.
It doesn't pay much, though.
What did you used to say
you wanted to be?
When you grew up...
What?
It's a secret.
What? A kindergarten teacher?
Nope.
School-teacher?
Nope.
As astronaut?
No!
What was it?
Relax. I'll be right back.
Okay.
There.
It's working.
Thanks.
Madoka might come back.
Just five seconds.
Wet the back of this...
Hey!
Why, you...!
Quit it!
I mean it!
Don't!
It's cold! Stop it!
Stop it!
Give it back!
Wait!
Hey!
Come on! Stop it!
Jerk!
I'm all wet!
That's enough! I mean it!
Look at me!
I might leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
Stay awhile.
You've come all this way.
I've done what I came to do.
You're doing fine.
I wanted to see you again.
Fickle, aren't you.
That's right.
Like a cat.
You fought with your dad...
Huh?
You'd always come over here
when you fought with your folks.
Did something happen?
Nothing.
Oh?
If...
If I died, what would you
remember about me?
Are you planning something?
Like suicide?
Of course not!
There are dying people
who want to live...
I know that!
Yeah, you would.
I only mean 'What if'?
'What if', huh?
That's hard. I can't imagine it.
You're only 17.
Younger than me.
But I guess I'd remember
the taste of your curry best.
And when I pushed you off the slide
and you got a concussion...
and they called an ambulance.
Or when you hid in that drawer
and fell asleep.
Gee...
What?
That's all...
Are you really going?
I don't know.
You are fickle.
Let's go drinking.
Huh?
Come on.
Let's go for a drink.
Where?
Go where?
Somewhere good.
Here.
Someone's playing tonight.
- Hello.
- Good work.
Nagisa...
Oh, so you're Nagisa...
Eriko, the owner.
Hello.
Take a seat.
Satoshi!
Hey, it's been a while.
So you've come from Tokyo...
Yes.
The town's much the same, huh?
Yeah.
Some things have changed.
Yeah?
What will you have?
Wine.
You sure?
Yes.
Hi.
Hello.
This order's ready.
Tell me... what was Satoshi like
when he was a kid?
Just like now?
I don't know the new Satoshi.
And I forget the old one.
There. White wine.
Your voice...
You're the voice on the truck.
Yep, that's me.
You've got a good ear.
Sorry...
- Here.
- Thanks.
The name of that
light-purple flower...
The one who taught me it...
was you.
Times of uncertainty
drive me mad.
When for an instant
you go far away...
what are you thinking?
When the revolving seasons
make the flowers bloom...
what gives them color
is your memory.
Mama...
Madoka! Are you awake?
What's wrong?
I'm hungry.
You are?
I'll help out.
Hold on for a minute, ok?
I'm almost done.
Take her home.
You don't mind?
Okay, thanks.
No problem.
- Sorry. I'll be right back.
- Yeah.
Nagisa?
What's wrong?
I just need some fresh air.
Oh.
I'll walk home.
Hey...
Yeah?
You can stay longer.
Uh-huh.
If you've got something to say,
go ahead.
I'm thinking...
of getting married.
To her?
Yeah.
She's already married though.
Nothing I did ever seemed to
end up anywhere.
Everyone I know
had found something...
and I was spinning my wheels.
Then she said, 'Just do
whatever it is you want to.'
And suddenly everything
was so much easier.
Oh.
My folks don't want to know me,
of course.
What do you think?
I think it's fine.
I thought you'd say that.
I'll see you.
We'll go to the Festival...
In kimonos?
Sure!
I'm back.
Hi.
It's been a while
since we slept like this.
Yep. I used to sleep
in your room.
That's right.
Hey...
stay for awhile.
When you moved away, you said...
you'd be sure to come back.
I did?
I remembered when Dad decided
to knock down this house.
When I moved out of the new place
and started living here...
he said I'd be lost by myself.
That made me want to all the more.
So stay here. Treat the place
like it was your own.
If your dad comes
you can hide in the shed.
Your hand.
Let's hold hands.
Oh...
Okay.
We used to do this.
Remember my hand, okay?
"Make sure you eat, ok?
Satoshi."

You live with your mother?
Papa's too busy to come home.
But I wish it was all three of us.
I liked it when Grandma was alive
and we were all together.
She died?
Yeah.
I see.
My mom died, too.
Last year,
from something called 'cancer'.
'Cancer'?
Yeah.
So I'm going to die soon, too.
You're going to die?
Yep. I've got the same thing
as my mother.
Come winter, I might not be here.
Cause you'll be in Heaven?
'Heaven'...
Would you like to go see
your Grandma?
Let's hold hands.
Don't let go.
We're going to Heaven.
Okay.
Is Madoka there?
I can't find her anywhere.
No?
Could you ask Ayumi for me?
All right.
Thanks.
Hello.
It's hot, isn't it?
I'm thirsty.
Milk, please.
There.
Well?
Where could she be?
Let me stay a little while.
Sure.
Have you seen Madoka,
The girl who was here last night?
She's gone.
No.
He might have her.
He's never just gone off
with her before...
I'll go check.
Take over here.
I'll go.
This is my problem.
It doesn't involve you.
Yes, it does.
Keep out of it.
Madoka's important to me, too.
She's your daughter.
I'll go.
Where are we going?
Go back inside.
Stay here.
Get real!
You mess with my wife,
then come waltzing in to see me?!
Huh?
You don't have...
any right to be
telling me anything!
Stop it!
Stop!
Nagisa!
- Stop it!
- I'll kill you!
Satoshi, hurry!
Come on! Let's get
out of here.
What do you know
about being a father?!
What's is it? Are you ok?
Nagisa?
What's wrong?
You're okay?
Yeah.
I'll bring some water.
Sorry, I've got to go.
You rest up here.
Call me if you need me.
Madoka...
Wake up.
Let's go.
I don't want to go home.
But your mom's waiting there.
She's worried.
Let's go.
Will I see you again?
Sure.
Promise me.
Cross my heart...
and hope to die.
I promise.
I won't tell Mama.
I'll say I was playing alone.
Bye-bye.
Hi.
I made dumplings. Let's eat.
Do you realize what you did?
Why did you take Madoka?
What did you want with her?
Just like you've got your life,
I've got mine, too.
Don't come back here.
Go away.
Are you stupid?
Falling for an older woman
is stupid.
You should be ashamed!
You said it was okay.
I lied. You just want her
because she's someone else's.
That's not true.
She's cheating.
She's getting a divorce, for me.
Not for you. For her!
For me!
Think that if you want.
I'm happy for you.
You don't know
a damn thing about it.
She'll do the same thing to you!
Don't you realize that?
You're wasting your time!
Go home, already!
You'll be sorry.
Divorcing to marry
never works out.
She'll get a new life,
and she'll get rid of you.
Go away!
Cheating is disgusting!
Cheating sucks!
It sucks!
What do you know?!
Tomorrow won't always be there.
Don't you see you're wasting time?
You're just being carried along!
You can do anything if you try!
Ignore what's right in front of you,
and nothing will ever change.
Just letting time go by...
or going away somewhere...
won't change anything.
Live so you won't be sorry!
I want you...
to like yourself, and to live
in a way you can be proud of.
Then bring me a beer, Madoka.
Okay!
He was worried about Madoka.
They're playing.
When will you get divorced?
If not for Madoka, I would be now.
But when I see how happy she is
with her dad, I'm not so sure.
I don't love him at all, though.
Can you tell Satoshi that?
Of course not.
Isn't that what you call
messing with someone?
Yeah...
I know I shouldn't be doing it.
I don't know
what he sees in someone like me.
Sure you do.
The only reason you want him
is because you're lonely.
You're not fair.
Satoshi thinks
he knows what's going on.
It's so easy for you.
Satoshi knows
that you're married.
That you have a child.
It's cheating, but he's decided
it's pure love.
He's an idiot.
When he went to see your husband,
I was embarrassed for him.
You two won't work out.
I thought the same way
when I was your age.
How so?
I thought everything was either
good or bad.
I thought you mustn't do bad things,
that you shouldn't live that way.
But there are things you can't help.
You never know
what another person is feeling.
I've got no idea how Satoshi
might change from now on.
Nothing is certain in this life.
Well, I guess a child
is the only certain thing.
When Madoka disappeared, I felt
in my bones how precious she was.
I felt that all along,
but it really came home to me.
About Madoka...
I'm sorry.
Hey...
when you're of legal age...
let's have a drink.
I wanted...
everyone to be unhappy.
Dad?
I'm sorry to worry you.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Good.
Know where I am now?
Where I was born.
I see...
The park you used to take me.
Where you met Mom.
She told you that?
Yeah.
There were fireworks and watermelon.
This is where you proposed, isn't it?
That's right.
I wanted that, too.
Did you see who you wanted to?
Yeah.
Dad...
now I've been in love.
Nagisa?
I son of know now
how a cat feels.
Sorry?
It doesn't want to make
someone it loves feel sad.
If you don't say 'goodbye'...
you still live somehow
in the other person's heart.
That's why cats just disappear.
Nagisa...
I don't even make a good cat.
I wanted to be deep in love
with someone, like you are.
What?
It's true.
I'm glad...
you came.
Hey, I just remembered
what you wanted to be...
A bus-tour guide.
Correct.
Thank you very much
for traveling...
on this bus today.
Allow me to help make your trip today
an enjoyable one.
I am your guide.
My name is Nagisa Ninomiya.
How do you do.
To my left here
is Toyohama Beach.
I have watched this ocean
ever since I was born.
It's not like this
during a typhoon.
It's scary then.
But I love this ocean.
I'd have watermelon here.
You would break one open
with one blow...
but I couldn't hit them right,
which made me unhappy.
Fireworks, too.
I was afraid to light them,
so I'd get you to do it for me.
I loved to watch them go up...
but the pinwheels scared me,
because they could go anywhere.
On my right is my primary school,
Toyohama Elementary.
In Grade 1, for writing 'flower',
I won my first-ever prize...
in the Calligraphy competition.
On Field Day I passed three people
in the relay...
and came in first.
Beside it you see Kazemachi Park.
We used to have barbecues there.
The meat was good...
but the smoked ham and cheese
you made...
tasted just great.
This street is the road
I took to middle school.
When we moved...
I...
rode down it...
in the car as we went
to Tokyo.
That day I learned
that someday you have to say goodbye.
I learned...
that there are some things
beyond your power to change.
I wanted to stay.
For the first time I realized
how important to you...
are the people...
you expect
will always be with you...
and the things you expect...
will always be there.
See you.
Yeah, see you.
See you.
