Soar High! (舞いあがれ!)

Ladies and gentlemen, says Captain Iwakura.

Taking advantage of the favorable wind, our plane flies at a speed of 1100 km/h.

Are you listening, we are being piloted by a woman.

Unusual, right?

We would only need 15 days to be at this speed..

.. they reached the moon 38,000 km away from us.

Amazing, right?

Our destination has favorable weather.

I wish you a pleasant flight in this beautiful weather.

Mai!

Mai.

You will be late.

Good morning.

Good morning...

You don't have a fever anymore, but just to be sure, measure yourself.

Here you are.

Fly up!

First week, first part:

Mom and me

Fallen leaves dance in the park

They show me how to fly.

I kindly thank them for that

It would be wonderful if I could be so light.

While confiding my concerns to a cat crossing the road,

I would like to see you again.

What words, what wishes, what scenery would you like

would they make you smile and make you happy?

I don't have a map, but I can go and look for it,

what I wish to give you.

Time and distance transformed into a bouquet of flowers is what

what I wish to give you.

Are you smiling to yourself? Why?

I had a nice dream.

Sounds good. What dream was that?

Our whole family went on a trip by plane.

A really nice dream.

One day we will go.

Also with Haruto.

I can not wait.

Here you are. - Thanks. I go.

I finished eating. - Have a nice day.

What is going on?

Mom, can I stay home today?

Why? Are you feeling tired?

No, but... School started seven days ago.

And I'm in a new class...

Are you afraid?

Everyone is probably friends by now...

So you never want to go to school from now on?

Just go.

Sumi is definitely expecting you.

I go with you.

I want to meet your teacher, she was worried about you.

April 1994, Higashiosaka

We are in Higashiosaka.

It is an industrial city full of factories.

Good morning.

Kota, Ma's father, is the director of a screw factory.

They produce 100 kinds of different screws every month.

Akira!

Again, there is not enough oil.

How many times do I have to repeat that to you? - Excuse me.

No need.

What is? Long night again?

Today's youth.

Here we say goodbye.

And don't run, okay? You'll get sick right away.

I know.

Come on, run now. - Hi.

Come on, don't give up! Run! Here, here, here!

Since last fall, Mai has been sick very often.

Sumi!

I brought you timothy.

How are you?

Twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen...

Nineteen, twenty, twenty one, twenty two...

Such people! Bring that ball.

I had many examinations in the hospital.

But even the doctors didn't know why I had such frequent fevers.

They sure are having a good time.
