SING "YESTERDAY" FOR ME (イエスタデイをうたって)

What do you think, Shinako-san?

You look great with short hair, too.

Come on, Rikuo.

The weather's nice.

Let's go somewhere.

I'm in the middle of work, damn it.

Haru-chan, you should go with me instead.

This guy's still not over being rejected, anyway.

Kinoshita-san!

Jeez, you're still upset?

Fine, whatever.

I'll go by myself.

Bye.

Aw, she's gone.

Jeez.

Why is she here every day?

She's here to mess with you, Uozumi.

Why are you so mean to her?

I feel bad for her.

I'm... I'm not being mean to her.

Come on, man.

So you went at her and it didn't work.

Be a man and switch gears already.

You haven't talked to that pretty lady since, have you?

Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Toizumi Municipal High School Graduation Ceremony

Chemistry Prep Room

Nemoto Yuko Nonaka Haru

Morning.

You're here early, Morinome-sensei.

Good morning, Morita-sensei.

Are you nervous because it's your first graduation ceremony as a teacher?

Yes.

Attendance

I was a student until not so long ago.

It's strange.

I really feel like I've become a teacher.

There'll be an after-party when it's over.

We can talk about all sorts of things then.

Morinome-sensei!

A little to the left.

That's it.

Here I go.

See you, Sensei.

Good luck, Sensei.

Good work, everyone.

It went off without a hitch.

We have the after-party all set up. Please join us, Morinome-sensei.

Of course.

I forgot something in the classroom.

I'll see you there!

Art Room

Rou-kun!

You aren't transferring here until tomorrow, are you?

Oh, Shinako.

You cut your hair.

Never mind that.

What's the idea of building a mountain of garbage in the classroom?

The theme is "graduation."

The symmetry makes it pretty academic, don't you think?

Just tear it down, all right?

Before another teacher shows up.

The world is still hostile toward art.

Don't you have entrance exams next year?

Why are you out here in Tokyo?

I told you, my dad moved out of home for work.

Although I would have stayed in Kanazawa if you'd stayed, too, Shinako.

You're going to call me Morinome-sensei when we're at school.

Come over today.

Dad's been wanting to see you.

And I miss your home cooking.

Not today.

The teachers are getting together to drink.

That's boring.

Grown-ups have social commitments of our own.

Say hi to your dad for me.

Since when does she wear makeup?

Yeesh.

Izakaya

You're from Kanazawa, Morinome-sensei?

Yes, I was there until high school.

I went to college in Tokyo.

I went back for a bit when I was job hunting,

but then I learned about this place, so...

I never knew.

Is there someone nice here?

Nah, it's nothing like that.

Or did you leave someone back in Kanazawa?

Not really.

The way you react makes me curious.

I know we're in the middle of the party, but I'd like to pause that for a moment

and thank you all for seeing the students through all the way to graduation.

Oh, well. Someday.

Thank you.

Well, ready for the after-after-party?

Actually, I'd better get going.

You're leaving?

All right, get home safe.

Pardon me.

Shinako?

What are you doing out here so late?

What about you, Uozumi-kun?

I live around here.

I'm on my way home.

Oh, right.

Y-You cut your hair.

Yeah, kinda.

You seem out of it.

Is something wrong?

I was watching the cherry blossoms.

I don't like cherry blossoms that much, but they're pretty.

Yeah.

Time flies, doesn't it?

It's already been a year since we graduated college.

Yeah.

It's so disappointing.

People don't really change that much,

yet time just... ticks away.

What's gotten into you?

You're always so forward-thinking.

Only unchanging losers like me are supposed to say stuff like that.

You're not a good judge of character, Uozumi-kun.

I'm not that forward-thinking.

I might seem like I'm moving forward, but I'm really not.

I just keep going around in circles on the same spot.

Don't you have an early start tomorrow?

I'll walk you home.

What's wrong?

I'm going to stay here a bit longer.

I'll stay with you, then.

No, it's okay.

My apartment's not far from here.

This isn't right, is it?

I know it's not, but I don't know what to do.

If you do think I have anything going for me,

I want you to see me as just a friend.

I want to have the friendship we used to have, where we could laugh about stupid things.

It's not that there's anything wrong with you.

Um...

Am I asking for too much?

I'll try my best.

Sorry.

Haru?

What are you doing out here so late?

"So late"?

I'm heading home from work.

I'm a hostess at a bar.

This is my route home.

What are you two doing out so late?

What?

Oh, um... we just ran into each other.

Please don't get the wrong idea, Nonaka-san.

Well, not that I care.

Pardon my intrusion.

Sh-She's not anything to me, just so you know.

You seem to be something to her, though.

She just thinks it's fun messing with me.

Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Haru-chan hasn't been by today.

Isn't that a good thing? It's more peaceful.

Well, it's making me lonely.

Did you make Haru-chan hate you?

Kinoshita-san...

Do you think men and women can be friends?
