I'm back.

Oh, hi, honey.

You got a plastic bag for
just one carton of milk?

What? They just give it to you.

You could say you don't need it.

Oh, pour me some of that too.

Dad, I got ice tea. Do you want some?

Ah, sounds good.

I'll have it at the table.

- Thanks. Done with the computer?
- I'm printing out now.

Maybe we should buy another laptop.

Smells like cigarettes in here.

Shizuku, you should have
gone to Kashiwazaki too.

No, I didn't want to. Shiho wears me out.

Oh, by the way, I have to work tomorrow.

- Do you want me to fix you a lunch?
- That's OK. I'll eat out.

The library's computerizing everything.
Everybody's going crazy at work.

I don't think they should, Dad.
Card catalogs are much better.

Yeah. I like 'em better too.

I think you've got a
problem with your report.

- What's the problem?
- Isn't there a line missing here?

You're right. Darn.

I'll have to print the entire thing over.

Can't I use the printer first?
My professor will k*ll me

if I don't have his paper
turned in tomorrow.

Seiji Amasawa.

Here he is again.

Shizuku, time to put the
books away and go to bed.

OK, Dad. Good night.

Yep. I knew I had seen that name before.

Here it is again.

And again.

Seiji Amasawa.

Seiji Amasawa.

Seiji Amasawa. That's amazing.

This guy checked out all
these books before I did.

Seiji Amasawa, huh?

What kind of person are you?

I wonder if we're anything alike.

Shizuku!

For heaven sakes, get up!

I'm leaving.

Hey, did you sleep in your clothes again?

You're so scatterbrained.

Have a good day.

Aah! Is it that late? I'm
supposed to meet Yuko.

Ugh! My wallet!

Did you get all the way
down the stairs again, Mom?

Yes!

Where is it?

Is it by the telephone?

- Found it!
- You always leave it there.

I'm gonna be late!

- Don't forget to lock up!
- Who's scatterbrained?

Wow! I've never seen a blimp so close.

Today's gonna be great.

Hot day.

Hi, Yappy.

Can't you bark any louder than that?

Shizuku! Shizuku! Hey, there.

Hey, Michiko. Good luck
on your match today.

Hi, Miss Kosaka. Can I come in?

Oh, hi, Shizuku. What are you doing here?

I need you to do me a favor.

What? It's not something weird, is it?

- Can you open the library, please?
- The library?

Can't you wait until school starts?

No. That's the point.

I decided I was gonna read
books over summer vacation,

and the city library doesn't
have the book I want.

It'll just be a second.

Twenty books? What about your
high school entrance exams?

Can't you even pretend
to be studying for them?

Uh, here it is.

Hurry up and bring it here.

Come on, give me your library card
and the checkout card from the book.

Here you go.

Hey, look at this.

No one's ever checked this book out before.

No one? What do you know.

I finally beat Seiji Amasawa.

Donated by... Amasawa?

No way! Do you have any idea
who this Amasawa person is?

Oh, now look, you made me make a mistake.

Well, that guy's probably the book's donor.

I don't know anyone from that long ago.

- Ask one of the older teachers.
- Shizuku!

I should have known you
were going to do this.

You said to meet outside
the school, not inside.

I waited in the sun for minutes. Do
you know how many freckles I have now?

- I'm sorry.
- Calm down, Yuko.

You take your freckles way too seriously.

No, I don't! It's a major problem for me.

Aren't either of you
concerned about your exams?

Now get out and go study.

I got it!

Here! This way.

Kick it harder than that.

I wrote some lyrics for
our graduation ceremony,

but I'm pretty sure that they stink.

Looking over sprawling city

How I do yearn for

Hills and clouds so pretty

Peaceful bedroom

Window with a view

Old dog that waits there

Where my dreams come true

Country roads

I think I'll go

Down this path on my own

West Virginia

Mountain mama

Please take me home

Down country roads

- Hey, it's not bad.
- Yes, it is.

It's boring.

- Keep up! Come on!
- I don't think so.

So I wrote another one.

Concrete roads

Everywhere I go

Covering

West Tokyo

Chopped down forests

Buried our valleys

My hometown's

Down concrete road

Let's sing that!

Hey, so, why did you want to talk?

Is there something bothering you?

Mmm. Do you think about boys?

No.

We're all studying for exams
and we could help each other.

It would be nice to be with someone
who felt the same way about you.

Yuko, you have a crush on someone.

- You got a love letter?!
- Ahh! Shh! Not so loud.

So, what's he like? Is he good-looking?

He's from another class.

- Uh, he's sort of good-looking.
- Why not try dating him?

If you don't like him you can stop.

Yeah, but...

You've got a crush on
someone else, don't you?

Don't even try to hide it. You
know I'll get it out of you.

It's, uh, Su... Su...

Shizuku!

Can you throw me my bag?

Sugimura.

It's that blue one, on
the bench over there.

Come on! Hurry it up!

I got to get back to the game.

Calm down, bench warmer.
You never play anyway.

Hey, I play all the time,

and our team's going to the
playoffs, I'll have you know.

Yuko?

Are you OK?

So I guess Sugimura is the guy you like.

How embarrassing. I ran
off like a little girl.

- He must know now.
- No way, Yuko. He's way too dense.

But what about the guy who
wrote you the love letter?

I think you should go for him.

Hmm, I don't know. I want to think it over.

All right.

You're lucky, Shizuku.

Your parents don't bug you
to study all the time.

- Sometimes I wish they did.
- Hmm, yeah.

- Oh, no!
- What's the matter?

I lost my book. I must have dropped it.

- You want to ride my bike?
- No!

You'll be late for cram school.

- Call me later, OK?
- I will!

You've got my book.

Oh. This is yours, is it?

Here you go, Shizuku Tsukishima.

What? How do you know my name?

Gee, take a wild guess.

Oh, the checkout card.

By the way, great lyrics.

They're even cornier than
the original version.

You read this?!

Stupid jerk, stupid jerk, stupid jerk.

Stupid jerk, stupid jerk, stupid jerk!

Stupid jerk!

"It's even cornier than
the original version."

Stupid jerk!

Hey, I'm home!

Oh, hey, sis. You're back early.

Ahh, I'm beat.

I grabbed a ride with someone
who's going back to Tokyo.

Where's Mom?

She's at an intensive summer course.
Dad's still at work.

You need to clean up this room, Shizuku,

and you should have started dinner by now.

- I was just getting to it.
- Ugh! This kitchen is a disaster!

Have you cleaned anything since I left?

Relax, I'll do it now.

You need to stay on top of this
while Mom's got classes, Shizuku.

After you wash the rice
finish up the laundry.

I'll help you make dinner
after I take a shower.

Auntie said you should come visit
her after you finish your exams.

Hmm.

- Are you studying?
- Uh-huh.

You're gonna have big
problems if you slack off

just because Dad and Mom
don't bug you about it.

I'm studying, OK?

You know, she tried to get me to
bring home some of her soy sauce.

That's your aunt, all right.

Didn't the same thing happen last year?

She made me take home some miso.
Really heavy.

Five pounds.

Too bad Shizuku couldn't go with you.

Shizuku, come on, get up.

Vacuum your side of the room.

Then strip the bed, 'cause
I'm washing the sheets.

I'm doing the futons too.

- Hey, where's Mom?
- She left hours ago.

Clear the table when you're done then
take Dad's lunch to him at the library.

- Hey!
- What do you mean "hey"?

You're going to the library already.

Or do you want me to go instead?

Then you can clean the toilet,
the bathroom and the entryway.

Then you can go to the grocery
store, fold the laundry,

make the beds and cook dinner.
How does that sound?

See you later! Phew!

Shizuku!

Put this in the mailbox for me.

What is it?

Uh, it's mail, stupid.

You don't need to read it.

Can't you just put it in the mailbox?

- It's a love letter, isn't it?
- Shut up!

I don't know how I'm gonna pass this.

You gotta read some books.

Next stop Suginomiya Station.

Suginomiya Station.

Hey there, cat. You all alone?

So, where are you headed?

See something interesting?

Oh, the silent treatment.

This is my stop. How about you?

So long, snotty.

Hey!

He's headed towards the library.

I'll call you later, all right?

I finally thought I was gonna get
a little adventure around here.

Hey!

Oh!

What a steep climb.

How far does this thing go?

Here, kitty.

Here, kitty.

He must live around here somewhere.

Hey!

Where are you going, you crazy cat?

Do you live around here?

What a gorgeous neighborhood.

I never knew there was a
place like this up here.

No way.

He came all this way
just to tease that dog?

Hmm. I wonder if that cat
isn't messing with me too.

An antique shop?

He's going shopping now?

Incredible. I had no idea there
were stores like this around here.

What a fantastic statue.

You're not the cat I was
following, are you?

- Oh, hello there.
- I'm sorry.

No, please, it's good to have visitors.

Look around as much as you like.

The Baron is bored too.

The Baron? Is that the name
of the statue over here?

Yeah. Baron Humbert von Joekkingen.

Good name, don't you think?

Oh, thanks.

Don't worry, though. I
do this all the time.

Great clock.

It was found in an abandoned
castle all covered with rust.

Look at this.

Beautiful. So, what does it do?

It might not do anything.

I just finished restoring this.

I haven't tried it out yet.

Dwarfs in a jewel mine,
just like a fairy tale.

You like fairy tales.

This clock has a terribly romantic
fairy tale that goes with it.

Watch what happens on the clock face...

At least I hope something happens.

What is that?

Stand up here on the ladder,
then you can see better.

OK.

Oh, it's a fairy.

She is now, but soon she'll
turn back into a sheep.

The two of them are in love, aren't they?

Mm-hmm. But they are always apart.

He's king of the dwarfs
and lives underground

while she's cursed to live as a sheep.

Only while the clock strikes
: is she a fairy.

So the king appears at that moment

just to catch a glimpse of the
girl he fell in love with.

What do you bet that the
artisan who made this clock

was separated from the love of his life?

That must be why their
sadness feels so real.

That clock isn't on time, is it?

No. It's about five minutes too slow.

- Oh, no!
- Whoa!

I've got to get to the library!

I'm sorry, do you mind
if I come again later?

Sure. But it's better to go
left to get to the library.

Oh, good! I'm right above the library.

What a great place that was.

It was like straight out of a fairy tale.

That was amazing!

Shizuku Tsukishima!

Hey, this is yours, isn't it?

Huh? Aah!

Uh...

You're kind of forgetful, aren't you?

Uh, thanks, but how did you get this?

Take a wild guess.

That man, do you know him?

Is he your grandpa?

You must eat like a pig.
That lunch is enormous.

Huh?

Hey you!

Concrete roads Everywhere I go

It's my dad's, you jerk!

Hey, thanks. You brought my lunch.

What's wrong? Why the sour face?

- It's hard to explain.
- And?

I was having an extraordinary day,
like I was living in a fairy tale,

then some jerk talked to me for two
seconds and ruined everything.

Sounds complicated.

Are you going to check
out some books today?

Yeah. I just have seven more to go.

You never stop reading. You want
to take some time out for lunch?

- I'll eat later.
- OK, then. See you later.

Seiji Amasawa.

Wow. Is there any book here
this guy hasn't checked out?

I wonder what kind of person he is.

No way! Not that jerk!

Shh!

Aah!

Shizuku, hurry up!

Oh! We're going to be late!

Hurry, get the umbrellas.

The first day of the
semester and it has to rain.

Stop complaining.

You're going to school because you want to.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Study hard.

You can count on me.

- Shizuku!
- Hey, Yuko!

Hurry up! I don't want to
be late for our first day.

I can't believe how many
tests we have to take.

It's one thing or another every day.

- So, did you answer the letter?
- Mm-mmm.

Have you made up your mind yet?

Yeah. I decided I don't
want to go out with him.

OK. Yeah, maybe that's best.

Sugimura!

You're gonna be late!

Calm down, we know!

OK, everybody, pencils down.

- Regular classes this afternoon.
- Hey, Jun, Daizo.

Let's eat fast so we can get outside.

Let's eat lunch in Miss
Kosaka's office, OK?

Can we stop by the teachers' lounge first?

- I guess so.
- Hey, Shizuku, check it out!

- What?
- I totally aced that test.

Well, good for you.

Everything I studied was on the
test and I barely studied.

So you're not just a
bench warmer after all.

Yuko's good at guessing what's on tests.

- You should study with her sometime.
- Study with her?

- Sugimura, Sugimura!
- What's up?

- Did you see this?
- Let's go, Shizuku.

I can't believe you said that, Shizuku.

What's the problem?

I've never been good at
guessing what's on tests.

Sorry.

Excuse us.

You want to know who donated a book?

I don't think I'd remember
something like that.

I hate to interrupt you
while you're eating.

- Look at this stamp here.
- Hmm? Well...

Let's see.

Oh, Dr. Amasawa, sure. I've read this
book too. It's quite a good one.

Yes, it's great.

So, is there anything that you
can tell me about Dr. Amasawa?

Let me see if I can remember.

I think he was chairman of the PTA.

The PTA, huh?

Would you happen to remember Dr.
Amasawa's first name?

First name? Let's see.

Mr. Kimura, do you happen to remember Dr.
Amasawa's first name?

Dr. Amasawa. I'm pretty sure it's Koichi.
Koichi Amasawa.

Koichi Amasawa.

Shizuku, Dr. Amasawa's
son goes to school here.

There's a chance you could have met him.
He's in your grade.

Huh? Uh... I...

I gotta go. Thank you very much!

Uh, excuse us.

Oh! Excuse me.

Shizuku! What's wrong with you?

It can't be him.

What in the world are you talking about?

You are acting like a total weirdo.

I'm sorry.

Shizuku, now what are you doing?

What a complete jerk! Do you
know what that guy's name is?

No. He's not in our class.
What's the big deal?

That jerk better not be Dr. Amasawa's son.

Shizuku chasing down boys?
I don't believe it.

I had to run after her
carrying her lunchbox.

So Shizuku has a crush on someone, eh?

Miss Kosaka, can you believe
she's finally interested

in something other than a book?

- I'm not interested. He's a jerk!
- What if he checked out those books?

- He's your perfect match.
- Like a fairy tale.

If it's him, it's a horror story.

So, tell us, what's the name of this guy
who checked out all the books, Yuko?

- Yuko.
- I can't remember exactly.

There was a "ma" in it,
or maybe it was a "wa."

Ama... Just say it, Shizuku!

- No way.
- Shizuku is such a great storyteller,

but now that the story is about
her, she won't say a word.

You can't hide the fact
you're in love, Shizuku.

The look on your face shows your
heart suffers with every beat.

How romantic. You are in love.

Go ahead, make fun of me if you want to.

Too bad. I was gonna show you
my lyrics for Country Roads.

- You're finished?
- Let me see! Let me see!

Great Shizuku, master of writing,
we shall make fun of you no more.

- Please grace us with your words.
- That's better.

I don't know if it's any good, though.

And it might not be
appropriate for graduation.

I just tried to write
something from the heart.

This is so good, Shizuku.

Country roads

I think I'll go

Down this path on my own

My inspiration

The road less taken

But this is my

Country road

It's great, Shizuku. I love it!

The lyrics aren't too corny?

No. They're wonderful.

You really have a gift for writing.

Reading all those books
actually did her some good.

- You sure they're OK?
- They're from the heart.

Yeah. I really like this part:

"I dreamed of living alone but fearless."

Secret longing to be courageous.

"Loneliness kept bottled up inside..."

- Ladies, that's the bell.
- Yes, ma'am.

Ahh! I love being a writer!

Shizuku!

Do you want to come with
us to the glee club?

- We're gonna show them your lyrics.
- No, thanks.

I want to check out some
books from the library.

More books? We've got a
test tomorrow, you know.

- I'll study when I get home.
- Yeah, right.

- See you later.
- See ya!

Hey, Yuko.

Uh, sorry to bother you
but, uh, can we talk?

Mm-hmm.

I was afraid it would be closed.

I hope that old man's doing all right.

The Baron's gone.

Someone must have bought him.

"Mr. Nishi's Antique Shop."

Oh, thank goodness.

That jerk's name isn't Amasawa. It's Nishi.

Shizuku!

Shizuku, Yuko's on the phone.

Hey!

Phone call. Can't you hear anything?

I keep telling you you're
gonna ruin your hearing.

Hello? What?

I can't really hear you.

Mm-hmm. Don't worry about it, Yuko.

Mm-hmm. I'll be right there.

- Where are you going?
- Just down the street.

- Yuko, what happened?
- Shizuku.

What is it? Why... Why are you crying?

I talked to Sugimura,

and he's friends with the guy
who wrote me that letter,

so he tried to convince me
to go out with his friend.

What?

Go out with your friend? How
could you say that to me?!

What?

That jerk. I can't believe
he's that stupid.

But I don't think he did it to hurt you.

He's just a dope. He has
no idea that you like him.

I better apologize to him, I guess.

But there's no way I can go to school
with my face looking like this.

I'm going to have to stay home tomorrow.

- We've got tests, you know.
- Mm-hmm.

OK.

Idiot.

What did I do?

That was pretty easy, huh?

- Headed to the library again?
- No. I'm gonna go check on Yuko.

Oh, tell her I hope she feels better.

- I will. See ya.
- Bye-bye.

Shizuku!

Wait up!

Whoa!

I need to talk to you about Yuko.

And then all of a sudden she
starts crying her head off.

So, what did I say that
was so terrible, huh?

Just think about it.

Remember when Yuko said,
"Date your friend?"

- "How could you say that to me?"
- Mm-hmm.

All I said was he's a good guy.
She should give him a chance.

Get a clue!

What Yuko was saying was that she
didn't want to hear that from you.

- You know what that means, don't you?
- I don't speak girl code!

Why don't you spell it out for me?

I can't believe you're this dense!

What it means is Yuko has a crush on you.

What? Are you sure? I
didn't pick up on that.

Are you blind? She stayed
home from school, you know.

She even missed a test on account of you.

But, it's that... You're
the one I'm in love with!

What? Come on,

quit joking around, will you?

I'm not joking. I've been in love with
you for years. Haven't you noticed?

But you can't fall for me.
That just doesn't happen.

Don't you like me at all? Or is
there someone else you love?

I'm not in love with anybody,

but Yuko, she'll... I gotta go!

Wait a minute! Forget Yuko!

Do you like me?

Of course I like you. We've
been friends for years.

But Yuko and I are best friends, so
that's the way it's gonna stay, OK?

You understand? Or do I have
to spell it out some more?

No. I understand.

We'll just be friends.

I'm sorry. I'll never mention it again.

You idiot!

You're the one who's dense.

Oh, Mrs. Tsukishima, I've
got a package for you.

The mailman left it with me.

Oh, thanks. Sorry to trouble you.

Thanks so much for these.

No problem. There's way
too much for us to eat.

Oh, you're home.

Shizuku.

Hi, cat.

Did you get locked out of your house?

So, what happened? Did
everyone forget about you?

Would you like some company?

You're not very nice, are you, cat?

Neither am I.

I used to be nice and friendly
and a grade-A student.

Now I just goof around reading
books and writing stupid lyrics.

I don't know what's wrong.

Even reading books isn't as
much fun as it used to be.

Now when I read a little
voice inside me says,

"Things never turn out like
they do in fairy tales."

I miss the old me.

Shizuku Tsukishima.

Hi.

I'm surprised Moon lets you pet him.

You don't like anyone, do you, Moon?

So Moon is his name?

He looks like a full moon, doesn't he?
Especially from that angle.

But I've heard him called
a few other names too.

What do you mean? Doesn't he belong to you?

Nope. He doesn't belong to anybody.

He just wanders around our neighborhood
and lives in different houses.

I've heard our neighbors call him Muta.

Hmm. So he's a vagabond.

That's right! I saw him riding
around on the train the other day.

- The train?
- Yeah.

He was taking a trip all by himself,

he got off at my stop and
I followed him here.

I was so excited when he
led me to this store.

It was like something
straight out of a fairy tale.

I guess I shouldn't have said
those bad things about him.

I said he was mean like me.

What? Moon's not like you.
He's not like you at all.

I... I mean, the cat's
really kind of crazy.

- So, I...
- Is your?

Is your grandfather OK?

His shop has been closed for so long.
I hope he's not sick.

Yeah, he's fine. He just
likes to keep weird hours.

His store is closed more
often than it's open.

I peeked in the window and saw the Baron
is not sitting on the table anymore.

- Did somebody buy him?
- You mean that cat statue?

Wanna see him? Come on.

Can you close the door?

This way.

Wow. It's almost like we're in the sky.

You're not afraid of
heights, are you, Shizuku?

No. I love it up here. It's inspiring.

From the balcony this time of
day is the prettiest. Come on.

Here we are.

- You can sit if you like.
- Hey, the clock is gone.

Oh, the big grandfather clock.
We delivered it today.

Here, have a look.

So who bought the clock?

No one. It was just here for a repair job.

I see. Too bad. It was beautiful.

It took Grandpa three years to fix it.

He finished it the day you
left your lunch here.

Hey, about that lunch...

I know it wasn't yours and
you don't eat like a pig.

Come over here and have a
look into the Baron's eyes.

Hurry up. The sun's starting to set.

Wow.

Pretty cool, huh? It's
actually an accident.

Sometimes the eyes get flawed
when they're installed,

- then they refract the light like that.
- That's amazing.

Grandpa will never sell the Baron.
He wants to find its partner.

There's another one?

Yeah. He says that her name is
Louise, but that's about it.

Look as long as you like.
I'm going downstairs.

The light switch is over
there if you need it.

So, Baron, let's hear about this Louise.

Is she an old girlfriend
of yours or something?

You look like you're all
dressed up for a wedding.

Did she leave you at the altar?
Did someone kidnap her?

There's a sad story there. I'll
have to figure it out for myself.

Hey. Had enough?

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

So, is that a real violin you're making?

Oh. Yeah.

- Can I see?
- Sure.

It's nearly finished.

Wow!

You carved the entire
thing yourself, by hand?

- How else would you do it?
- That is amazing.

They've been making violins the
exact same way for years,

but whether or not they sound any good

is totally dependent on
the craftsman's skill.

Did you make all those violins?

No, of course not.

We hold violin-making classes here.

But one of them's yours, isn't it?

- Yeah.
- So which one is it?

- The end.
- Wow.

That's really fantastic.

I can't believe you can
make something like this.

It's like magic, isn't it?

You're so weird.

I can't believe some of the stuff
that comes out of your mouth.

It is magic. You made a violin
pop out of a piece of wood.

Anyone can make a violin of that caliber.

I'm not close to being good enough.

So, can you play the violin?

Sort of.

Would you play something
for me, just a little bit?

Give me a break.

Come on, come on. Won't you, please?

All right, but you're
gonna have to sing along.

What?

You don't want me to sing. I'm terrible.

I've got just the song for you.

Are you ready? I'm pretty
sure you know this one.

I dreamed of living

Alone but fearless

Secret longing

To be courageous

Loneliness kept

Bottled up inside

Just reveal your brave face

They'll never know you lied

Country road

May lead me home

Know I belong there

All on my own

- ♪ Destiny calls
- Shh!

Motionless, I stall

Know I can't go

Country road

No matter how dark the world's inside me

I'll never stop to show
a tear that I've shed


But now I have to walk so fast

Running sprinting to forget

What is lodged in my head

Country road

May lead me home

Know I belong there

All on my own

Destiny calls

Motionless, I stall

Know I can't go

Country road

Country road

La la la la

You're a good friend I'll never know

Same tomorrow

Regret and sorrow

Can't take you home

Country road

That was wonderful, you two.

I'm Shizuku, by the way. Thanks
for the great accompaniment.

You're welcome, Shizuku.

I was hoping we would meet up again.

These are my good friends, Kita and Minami.

Nice vocals.

You're the lucky girl who got to see
the grandfather clock strike : .

I never knew you had such
a pretty friend, Seiji.

What? Seiji?

Is your name Seiji Amasawa?

Yeah. Of course.

- Wait, didn't I tell you my name?
- No, you didn't.

I thought it was Nishi.
That's what's on the sign.

That's my grandfather's last name.
Mine is Amasawa.

This is my worst nightmare.
I should have known better.

- I never get the fairy tale ending.
- What are you babbling about?

What difference does it
make what my name is?

It makes a difference! You knew my
name but you never told me yours.

You could've asked me my name.

I never had a chance! This is so unfair!

- I was so sure Seiji Amasawa was...
- I was what?

A nice, intelligent, civilized person.

Oh, really? You read too many fairy tales.

Clearly you've read a lot of them yourself.

Your grandpa and his friends are
really nice. I had a great time.

You'll have to come back. Grandpa
and his friends would like that.

Next time I'm keeping my mouth shut.
No yelling or singing.

I could listen to you
play violin for hours.

- Have you ever thought of performing?
- My violin playing's nothing special.

My ultimate goal is to be a
world-class violin maker.

That's great. You're already so good at it.

No, if you really want to be good

you have to be trained in Cremona, Italy.

I want to go there when I
graduate from junior high.

You're not going to high school?

My parents think I am,

but my grandpa is trying to
convince them otherwise.

I guess we'll have to see.
Cross your fingers.

That's great that you know what
you want to do with your life.

I don't have a clue what
I want to do with mine.

I just waste time writing corny lyrics.

I know what I want to do, but I
don't know if I'll get to do it.

I fight with my parents about it everyday.

Even if I get to go, it doesn't
mean that I'll be any good at it.

I'll just have to do my best and find out.

You sure you don't want a ride home?

Yeah. It's just around the corner.

See ya.

Uh, Shizuku...

Yeah?

I just wanted to say that I
actually liked your lyrics.

You're a very talented writer. Keep
pursuing it. It's not a waste of time.

Just the other day you told
me my lyrics were corny.

- Oh, did I really say that?
- Seiji!

I'm sorry.

Ha! You're forgetful too. See you later.

Shizuku, turn off your lamp. You
left it on all night last night.

When did you know what
to do with your life?

- What are you talking about?
- You know!

Don't worry about it.
You'll take your exams

and whatever high school you get
into will pretty much decide things.

- Don't we get a choice?
- You do if you study hard.

Now go to sleep.

Good night.

I can't believe Mom didn't wake me up.
She's getting more forgetful than I am.

- Uh, hello?
- Oh, hello.

Can't you run any faster?

You don't have to wait for me.

Just made it.

Shizuku, what happened?

Ah, you look like a wreck.

Well, you seem fine. You
sure do recover fast.

Is it true that you were out with a
boy from another class last night?

- Where did you hear that?
- It's a rumor.

They say it looked like the
two of you are going steady.

- It's nothing like that, Yuko.
- I'm not worried about it.

It's what the book says.

Yuko, about my friend's letter,

I'll tell my friend you're
not interested. I'm sorry.

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

It's OK.

Hey, did you see Sasuke last night? I
was blown away. It was the best ever!

This formula's gonna be on
tomorrow's test, class,

so make sure you know it.

Class dismissed.

You forgot your books.

I'm a little nervous to ask her out.
I mean, should I?

I didn't even get to see it.

No way!

Excuse me, is this Shizuku's classroom?

Hey, Amasawa, what's up?

I'm looking for Shizuku. Is she in here?

Shizuku? Yeah, she's here.

Hey Shizuku, you got a visitor. It's a guy!

Seiji, she's right over there.

Hi, Seiji.

Shizuku, can we talk for a minute?

Uh, sure.

Check it out! Shizuku's got a boyfriend!

Shizuku's got a boyfriend

No, I don't. Hey, he's not my boyfriend!

Aww, come on.

Boyfri...

All right, what is it?

I get to go to Cremona, Italy.
I just found out.

What? Come on, let's go.

- Where are we going?
- To the roof.

Oh, excellent.

Seiji, why did you broadcast to the
class that you wanted to talk to me?

I'm sorry. I was excited and I
wanted you to be the first to know.

But now people might get
the idea that you like me.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, so even though my parents
gave in there's a catch.

Oh. What's the catch?

Well, when I'm in Italy

I have to try out with this friend of
my grandpa's who owns the workshop.

Try out?

Yeah, my parents said I get
two months to prove myself.

If my grandpa's friend doesn't
think I have potential,

then I have to come back
here and go to high school.

I've heard this guy is really
tough on his apprentices,

so it doesn't seem fair that my
parents are only giving me one shot.

But it's a great opportunity, so I'm going.

- When? Do you leave soon?
- As soon as I get my passport.

My dad said he was going to
notify the school today.

Wow, that fast, huh?

I'm happy for you. Your
dream's coming true.

I hope so. I'm going to give
it everything I've got.

- Would you?
- Oh...

Hey, it stopped raining. Look.

Yeah, you're right.

Wow! Look at that view.

Maybe we'll see a rainbow.

Yeah.

I wonder what Cremona, Italy will be like.

I hope it turns out to be a nice place.

Mm-hmm. The city's really old,

and everybody there thinks
violin making is respectable.

That's great.

It's so brave of you to go
after your dream like that.

I just waste my time reading books,

and all I've been dreaming about was
we would go to the same high school.

OK, that was embarrassing. I
shouldn't have said that.

Shh! Stay down.

- Do you think they'll kiss?
- Hurry up.

You know, I noticed you a long time ago.

I first spotted you reading in the library.

I walked past you hundreds of times,
but you never noticed me, right?

I even sat down in the chair right
next to you a couple times.
Yeah?

Then I started checking
out all sorts of books

just so I can get my name
on the cards before you.

Guess that got your attention.

But now...

I have to take off to Italy.

That's some pretty lousy
timing, don't you think?

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

Hey, quit pushin'! I can't see!

You jerks!

Get out of the way! Shizuku is really mad!

Hey!

- Here, Dad.
- Thank you.

- I'm going to Yuko's.
- Shizuku, is that all you're having?

I'm not hungry.

Pick up some milk on your way home, OK?

I don't feel like it.

Hey, you're the one who drank it all.

She's really been slacking
off these last few days.

Taxi!

Sorry, I can't go.

- Thanks for meeting me, Yuko.
- No problem.

I've never been so confused in my life.

Mom, Shizuku's here.

- Shizuku, how nice to see you.
- Hi, Mrs. Harada.

Hello, girls.

- Hi, Mr. Harada.
- Hi, Shizuku.

Would you two like some tea and cookies?

Yeah. Thanks, Mom.

I'm having a fight with my father.
I'm not talking to him.

Boys really have guts, don't they?

He'll be gone for two months.

He's returning for our graduation ceremony,

then he's going back again to
study for about ten years.

You'll practically never see him again.

But you're so lucky.

The two of you sound like the
perfect match, like soul mates.

He's so much better than me.
We read the same books

but I never do anything with what I learn.

He decided long ago what he wanted to do.

- He's going straight for his dream.
- I guess so.

You know what? Kinuyo was in the
same first year class as Seiji.

She said he was a little hard
to approach but a good student

and really handsome too.

You don't need to rub it in.

I already feel like I'm not good enough.

This whole thing is doomed.

No, it's not. All that
matters is he likes you.

- Didn't he say that?
- Yeah.

But I'm not sure I believe it.

I don't get you.

It's so cool. You could be writing letters

and encouraging each
other every single day.

How could I ever encourage him?

He's worked so much
harder than I ever have.

You are weird.

Just because you haven't decided

what you're going to do after you
graduate from junior high school

doesn't mean that you're
not good enough for him.

Everyone in school thinks you're talented.

You've read more books than anyone
I know and your lyrics are great.

And you can tell people just what you feel.
I can't do that.

I'm not close to being good enough.

- Yes, you are.
- Mm-mmm.

That's what Seiji said.

He isn't sure he has any talent either.

I should test myself like he is.

That's what I'll do.
I'll try being a writer.

I've already got a story.

I've got two months to see what I can do.

But midterms are coming up.

That's OK. Thanks, Yuko.

I feel like maybe I can handle this now.

- You're going?
- Yeah. I've gotta get writing.

Bye, Mr. And Mrs. Harada.

- Bye, Sumo.
- Say hello to your mom for me.

I will.

- You hang in there too, Yuko.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm sure Sugimura will see
what a good person you are.

See you later.

So that's it. It's simple.

All I have to do is give my writing a try.

Moon.

Muta! Muta!

Hey, Mom, Muta ran off again.

Where does he keep going?

Muta. Huh.

Whisper of the Heart by Shizuku Tsukishima.

"Listen to the voice of the forest

and the wind that blows from
a far-off cluster of stars."

So, you want to write a
story about the Baron?

Something about him inspires me,

but I know the Baron has
special meaning for you,

so I thought I'd better ask your
permission before I use him in my book.

You can use the Baron.

Thank you for asking,

but I'd like to ask for a favor in return.

Yes?

Once you have finished your story I
want to be the first to read it, hmm?

Oh, uh... I...

Is it a deal?

Do I really have to show it to you?

I've never written anything before.
I'm afraid it's gonna stink.

You sound just like all the
other artists that I've met.

No one should expect perfection
when they're first starting out.

Wait a minute. I've got
something to show you.

I think you'll like this.

Take a look.

It looks like a rock.

It's a special kind of rock called a geode.

Hold it close to your eye and look inside.

That's right, like that.

Wow.

Look at that.

Those crystals are called beryl.

There are pieces of raw
emeralds deep inside them.

- Aren't emeralds worth a lot of money?
- Sure.

But they need to be cut and polished first.

When you first become an
artist you are like that rock.

You're in a raw natural state
with hidden gems inside.

You have to dig down deep and find
the emeralds tucked away inside you.

And that's just the beginning.

Once you've found your gems
you have to polish them.

It takes a lot of hard work.

Look at the crack in the geode.

OK.

You see that big green crystal there?

You could spend years polishing that

and it wouldn't be worth much at all.

The smaller crystals are
much more valuable,

and there may be some even
deeper inside that we can't see

which are even more precious.

Oh, it's bad to get old.
You just keep rambling.

I'll shut up now.

What if I look inside myself
and I don't find any gems?

What if I'm just a rock?

I'm going to try anyway.

I'll write that story and I'll
let you be the first to read it.

That's the spirit. I'll
be looking forward to it.

A raw gem in a vein of lapis lazuli.

Ah, let us go forth together,

in search of the vein of lapis lazuli.

Look. Be not fearful.

On the day of the new moon space is warped.

As such, things far away loom large

whereas things near at hand appear small.

Come, let us fly.

We will rise on the updraft!

But we must hurry!

Quick! The planetoids are gathering.

Shall we?

And... off we go!

That's it! We're riding the air currents.

See that tower? We'll clear
it in a single leap.

Are you kidding? That's so high.

Ah, it just looks high.

You'll see once we get closer.

Let's go. When the afternoon
air currents mix,

we can even touch the stars without fear.

That's strange.

Shizuku's in nonfiction?

I've never seen her look at
anything but fairy tales.

It's a prisoner locked in a
cell and he's making a violin.

Seiji!

I thought you had left for Italy.

I just talked to my grandpa.
He said you might be here.

I'm glad I found you. I'm leaving tomorrow.

You are?

Go on. You should keep working.

I'll wait until you're done.

Sorry I can't see you home.

I'm just glad I was able to see you again.

I can't go to the airport with you

but I'll be waiting for
you when you come back.

I'll see you in two months then.

I'm sorry for complaining
all the time, Seiji.

I promise I'll work hard while you're gone.

Well, I better go.

Have a safe trip.

Louise, my betrothed and I,

were born in a far-off land.

Back then, magic was
still alive in our town,


and the streets were lined with shops

where the descendents of
magicians worked as artisans.


The craftsman who made us was
a poor apprentice doll-maker.


But Louise and I were happy,

for the man who made us

gave us the ability to love.

Then one day...

Shizuku.

Shizuku!

Shizuku!

The answer, Shizuku?

Stand up.

I don't know, sir. I
wasn't paying attention.

You haven't been paying attention all week.

- I'm sorry, sir.
- Yuko, will you help out Shizuku?

Yes, sir.

What? You were up until
four in the morning?

I just can't seem to stop
writing for some reason.

You keep spacing out all
the time, like today.

I was thinking about my story.

There's so much I want to write.
I can't find enough time.

I don't feel like eating.

Oh! Shizuku, it's you.

You scared me half to death.

Why didn't you have the lights on?

Oh, Shizuku, you didn't finish the laundry.

Get in here, Shizuku! Shizuku!

Where's Shizuku? Doesn't she want dinner?

She said she isn't hungry.

Can you believe that?

She actually said that.

Oh, hello, Mrs. Tsukishima.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- No trouble at all.

Do you know if the career
counseling room is open?

- Yeah.
- Come this way.

I'm home.

Hi there, Mom.

You're home early today.

Ohh, I'm exhausted.

- Want some coffee?
- Sounds great.

So, Mom, there's something I
need to talk to you about.

Not something bad, I hope.
I already have a headache.

I'm thinking of moving into my own place.

I found the greatest apartment.

Honey, can you really afford to move out?

I saved some money from my temp job,

and I just got a part-time position
in a test-preparation school.

I see. I've gotten so used to you
helping me out while I'm in school.

But we'll be fine. I'll talk
to your father about it.

Really? Thanks, Mom.

Financially I think you'll
have to manage on your own

until I finish my last semester of school.

- Once I graduate I can help you out.
- That'd be great.

I hate to do this now while you're in
the middle of your master's thesis.

No, don't worry about it.

I really appreciate all the help
you gave me preparing the data.

It'll be good for Shizuku
to have her own room

so she can focus on her studies.
She's been acting so strange lately.

You're telling me.

I had a conference today with one
of her teachers. Look at this.

Huh. What is it?

What's happened to her?

I've never seen grades this low.

It's so strange. I wonder what she's doing.

She's at her desk all day.

- Oh, good evening.
- Good evening.

Thank you.

With grades like that, no
high school will accept you.

Fine. I'm not going to high school anyway.

Are you crazy? You think a
junior high education is enough?

What kind of fantasy
world are you living in?

Hey, it's my future so I make the decision.

Don't give me that attitude. You know
you're being completely ridiculous.

If you keep acting like
this you'll ruin your life.

School's really made your life great.

All you've done since college
is work part-time jobs.

I'm making money and I can support myself.

What job will you get
without a college degree?

You'll end up destitute because you're
in some stupid rebellious phase.

I'm not being rebellious.
I'm going after my dreams.

What dreams? You just goof
around reading books.

Stop the arguing, girls. I've heard enough.

But Dad, she's gonna ruin her
life if she keeps this up.

Hmm. All right. Let's go to
the kitchen and discuss this.

Shizuku, change out of your
uniform first, please.

Hurry it up.

A bit low.

Shizuku, are you doing the best you can?

Yes! I take these tests very seriously.

Just a little bit ago you said you
weren't going to high school.

You were the one who said no
high school would accept me.

Shiho, I'd like to talk to Shizuku alone.

Would you please excuse yourself, honey?

Fine.

- Where's your mother?
- She's at the Tanakas.

- I'm home.
- There she is. Hey, Mom.

- Is your father home?
- He's in the kitchen.

Could you come in here? I'm
having a talk with Shizuku.

Sure. Just a second.

All right, Shizuku.

You have something that you're doing

that you think is more
important than studying?

Will you tell us what it is?

When I can tell you, I will.

Shizuku, can't you do whatever
it is once your exams are over?

I have to do it now. I've only got
three weeks left before he...

It's that I promised myself
I'd achieve this certain goal

- or I'm not good enough.
- Good enough for what?

Why do you need to prove yourself?

We can't help you unless you
tell us what's going on.

What could you be doing that you can't
tell your mother and father about?

- Honey, please.
- Oh, sorry. I'll put it out.

You work so hard in the library.

Whatever you're doing, I
know it's important to you.

And I truly respect that.

Honey, why don't we let Shizuku
do what she thinks is best?

Not everyone needs to follow the same path.

Hmm.

Well, I have to admit I've often dreamed
about straying from the path myself.

All right, Shizuku, go ahead and
do what your heart tells you.

But it's never easy when you do things
differently from everyone else.

If things don't go well, you'll
only have yourself to blame.

And I want you to eat meals with
us, no matter how busy you get.

That's right. We like to
see you once in a while.

- OK.
- Tell your sister we're finished.

I'll make us some tea.

Hey, Shizuku.

Dad let you have your own way,

but he wants you to study and
get into a good high school.

I know that. It was written
all over his face.

By the way, I'm gonna be
moving out next Sunday.

You'll have the room to yourself.

You're moving out? I didn't know that.

Yep. You're gonna be on your own now.

Hurry!

Faster!

Faster!

Only one stone is genuine.

Which one? Which one is real?

You are on your own now.

You must make the choice yourself.

Hurry!

Louise, you've come back to me.

I'm sorry I've grown old. I
didn't know you'd return.

Shizuku. Please, come on in.

I was just taking a nap.

Did I wake you? I'm sorry.

I hate to bother you, Mr.
Nishi, but my story's finished.

Ooh, wonderful.

Oh, you should be very proud.

Well, here it is. You're the first
one to read it, just as promised.

Well, this is a good-sized novel.

Whisper of the Heart by Shizuku Tsukishima.

I know it's a bit long, but
could you read it right away?

I'll just wait here, if you don't mind.

I could, but you've put so much into this.

Shouldn't I take my time
and read it carefully?

I'd rather you read it now,
'cause I'm kind of nervous.

You don't have to read it
all, just a few pages.

And then... then if it's
boring you can quit.

I understand. I'll read it right away.

Have a seat by the fire. It's getting cold.

There. Now no one will disturb us.

Uh, would it be OK with
you if I wait downstairs?

- Hmm?
- I won't get cold.

I'd rather not watch you read.

Hmm. That'll be fine. Go ahead.

So, there you are.

I finished your book, Shizuku.

Thank you, dear. It was really wonderful.

No, it's not! It's a mess.

The storyline goes all over the place.

All the characters' dialogue sounds corny.

You have to tell me the truth. I
know it's a complete disaster.

No. It's just a bit rough,
dear, like Seiji's violin.

What I read was raw and heartfelt.

You should be very proud
for all your hard work.

You've dug inside your soul
and found some real gems.

Next you'll need to polish it, which
will also take a lot of work.

There's no need to be upset.
Just have a little patience.

Now let's go inside. It's cold out here.

OK.

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be crying.

I wanted so badly to do a good job,

but there's so much that I
don't know about writing.

And Seiji, he's so much more
accomplished than I am.

I can never catch up.

I can never be good enough.

I see. You must be very fond of Seiji.

How do you like your noodles, hmm?

I like them a lot.

When Seiji finished making
his very first violin,

he was far more upset than you are today.

It took four batches of
noodles to calm him down.

Ah. Thank you, dear.

Now tell me, how far did we
get into the Baron's story?

You were a student in Germany when
you found the Baron in a café.

Ah, that's right.

I was captivated by his expression.
It was so sad and mysterious.

So I begged the owner of the
café to let me buy the Baron.

But he refused to sell it to me.

He said the Baron had a female
companion who was away for repairs.

The two of them made
such a beautiful couple

he didn't think it was
right to separate them.

I told him that as soon as the Baroness
was repaired, I'd buy them both.

The Baroness, her name was
Louise, isn't that right?

No one knows this, but Louise was the name

of a woman I went to school with.

She and I became very close,

and every day we'd meet at the café
to see if the Baroness had returned.

Louise pleaded with the café
owner to sell me the Baron.

She promised to buy the
Baroness and hold onto her

until the two statues could be reunited.

Finally the café owner agreed,

and I left for Japan with the Baron.

I promised Louise that I would return
to Germany as soon as possible,

and I vowed that when the Baron
and Baroness were reunited,

so would we be.

But the w*r began soon after my departure

and I wasn't able to return to
Germany until many years later.

I visited our café and I
searched all over Germany

but I could find no trace of her.

I never saw Louise or the Baroness again.

I'm sorry. So that's why you never
want to talk about the Baron.

But you've done something
wonderful for me, Shizuku.

What was only a memory for me has
gained new life thanks to your story.

Oh, that reminds me.

Now hold out your hands.

But I...

That geode suits you better than me.

I want you to have it.

Promise me you'll polish your story well.

I will.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Nishi.

My pleasure.

See you later.

- Anyone home?
- I'm in here.

Is Dad around?

He's in the bathtub.

Do you know what time it is, young lady?

I'd like to make a formal announcement.

I've decided that I want
to attend high school.

- I'll start studying tomorrow.
- Really?

Does that mean you've already
finished your project?

For the time being.

Do you want dinner? I made curry.

No, thanks.

For the time being, huh?

Shizuku, the bathroom's
free if you want it.

Look at her, my little warrior.

Let's see.

Sweet dreams.

Huh?

Seiji?

Yeah. Just a second.

I can't believe this. You
were actually awake.

This isn't a dream, is it?

No. I came back from Italy
a day early. Get on.

Oh, wait a minute.

You'll be cold like that.

OK, hop on.

- You'll be cold. I'll get a jacket.
- There's not enough time. Let's go.

All right, hold on tight now.

I wanted to see you as soon as I got home,

so I stood outside your window hoping
you'd look outside and see me.

Suddenly you were standing there.
I couldn't believe my eyes.

We must be meant for each other, Shizuku.

I still can't believe I'm not dreaming.

Who cares? This is a great dream.

How did things go in Italy?

My master said I'm not
great yet, but I could be.

I've decided to finish high school first,

then I'll go back to Cremona.

- Should I get off?
- No. Stay on.

I decided I was going to
ride up this steep hill

carrying you with me.

Who said you could decide that?

I don't want to be just a burden for you.

If I'm going with you
I'm going to help you.

All right, go ahead and help.

Just a bit further.

Shizuku, hurry up! Get on!

Ah, just in time.

Wow.

- Need a hand?
- I'm fine.

Look at this.

Amazing.

With all that mist, it
looks like the ocean.

Yeah. This is where I come to get inspired.

You'll see in a second.

I wanted to show this to you.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Grandpa told me about all the
amazing writing you've been doing.

I feel bad that I wasn't
here to encourage you.

I was just off thinking about myself.

Mm-mmm. You're the one
who inspired me, Seiji.

I'm glad I pushed myself.

I know myself a little bit better now.

I realized I need a lot more schooling,

so I don't mind doing what it takes
to get into a good high school.

Shizuku. I've been thinking.

It's that...

I know this might sound
really weird to you,

but could you see us
getting married someday?

I promise I'll be a
professional violin maker

and you can be a professional writer.

Mm-hmm.

Does this sound corny?

It's a little corny, but you're
a violin maker, not a writer.

That's true. This is great!

Come here. It's getting cold.

Shizuku, I love you!
