November 22, 2008
I had nobody who would celebrate
my birthday in the entire world with me
before I met her.
Wrap it, please.
Sure. Is this for a gift?
Yes.
Just a moment, please.
But last year, it was different.
For a very short time,
I had a girlfriend who
celebrated my birthday.
One year ago today
it happened at this store.
Last year
These ones over here
have just come in.
You might think about this.
It comes in black and beige.
What do you think?
Happy birthday.
I always buy a birthday gift
For myself.
Grandma told me to eat noodles
on my birthday For a long llfe.
I'm having the same spaghetti
at the same place again this year.
Do you like the spaghetti here?
I'll have something different.
Excuse me. Can I see a menu?
Yes, excuse me.
I'll take this and this
and this and this please.
And also....
I'll take this and this...
this, this, this and this too.
They have a 2005 Bordeaux. Great.
I want a bottle.
Certainly.
It's also my birthday.
No way!
Actually it's mine too.
Really?
Yeah.
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
You should have some.
I'm full.
Let's go.
It's on me. Wait outside.
Well, we should split it...
Didn't I say it's on me?
It's your birthday.
I'll take care of it.
Disappear!
Hey, you two! Wait!
Wait!
Stop you two! Hey!
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm so sorry. Are you OK?
Officer. They left
without paying their bill!
Excuse us, please.
Coming through.
Not this way. Which way?
That way!
Excuse us! Excuse us! I'm sorry.
Excuse us. Pardon us.
Coming through.
Wait, you two. Stop there!
I said wait!
Stop fooling around!
I thought
I was just following her,
but somehow it happened.
We ended up in front of my place.
Got it.
Come here. Hide.
Why are you still hiding?
It was here. He did...
He grabbed my shoulders...
and kissed me.
He's a bad man.
He said
he didn't like me anymore.
Because I eat too much
and I act crazy.
And he said I'm very jealous.
At first he didn't mind but
he said I punch him too hard.
I'm too rough, he said.
He doesn't even want to
see me walking.
Do I walk funny?
I know. Not bad at all, right?
Like a model?
Was it really all that hard?
Kind of.
Right.
I'm strong and rough.
Enough!
Calm down.
Why?
Because it's possible
someone else lives here now.
Right?
Whatever. I'm pissed
at whoever's here.
Why don't you try?
You'll feel better.
No thanks.
Haven't you had enough?
Close your eyes.
What?
Just do it.
Okay, my eyes are closed.
I have to say goodbye now.
Okay?
I don't want you
to see me leaving.
Close your eyes until I'm gone.
Okay?
Count to 1000, then open your eyes.
Make sure to count to 1000.
And...
Take this.
I bought this
for my birthday, really.
It's yours now.
Then you keep mine.
Thank you.
Actually...
I came from the future...
100 years from now.
In a time machine.
Surprised?
I am!
Goodbye.
Aren't your eyes open now?
No.
They're closed.
You're a liar!
I can see you clearly.
I've got very good eyesight,
better than 20/10.
Your eyes were open!
Were you looking at me?
No. They've really been closed.
You can come back and check.
Were they really closed?
You sound like an idiot.
You're an idiot!
You're right. I am an idiot.
Idiot!
You can open your eyes.
I'm okay now.
You can see me smiling, right?
It was like deja vu.
I felt a tear on my cheek.
I was crying
but I don't know why.
Actually, I thought she was crying
so It made me cry, I guess.
Sure. I can see you.
My eyesight is great, too.
It's better than 20/10.
I can see your smile.
Be careful going back!
Be careful going back...
Be careful...
going back...
I never saw her again after that.
It's been a year.
Going through my ordinary life
I kept waiting...
For this day to come.
I might be able to meet her again.
I somehow had a hunch.
Maybe I could...
76, 77, 78 thousand yen!
Here's a digital camera.
Not bad for an old bag's bag.
We cleaned up good.
Cute, isn't she?
Hey, baby! Nice threads!
So cool.
Aren't you cold?
Want my jacket?
Can I shave her face?
What's wrong with your eyes?
Ouch.
Oh shit!
When is this?
It's November 22.
What year?
What year!?
2008...
Daimaru Department Store
Miss?
Miss! Miss!
Excuse me!
I can't let you leave like this.
She's gone. This way.
Welcome.
This.
Excuse me, miss!
You haven't paid yet.
Please stop.
Help me!
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Whisky, a strong one.
Excuse me. One more.
Yes sir.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you too.
Happy birthday.
Present from me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
Let's go.
Oh no, no, no, no...
Where's my key?
Did I lose it?
It's open now.
Sorry it's messy.
I'll clean it right away.
But this isn't so bad
for a guy living alone.
"Are you an idiot?"
You're my only lady guest
except my landlady.
But it smells okay here, right?
I have a special technique
to kill odors.
How are you, Jiro?
I am you, 65 years from now.
Please don't be afraid
of my appearance.
You must be feeling happy
to see your dream girl again.
But...
I'm here to tell you the truth.
She came back today but
it was not supposed to happen.
You were supposed to meet up
with the gunman, instead.
I took the awful bullets
that night...
and my body turned into this.
But ironically, the lottery ticket
I'd bought earlier was a big winner.
I spent all my money
and time on one thing.
I created her
to save you, me, 65 years ago
from that restaurant shooting.
She must have helped you out.
History changed and
time will right itself
and recalibrate to
the right dimension.
You are going to experience
a huge disaster.
But I'm sure she will
help you out again.
She is still like
a soulless doll for now,
but she'll learn things
from living with you.
One day she'll become able to
think and behave like humans.
She's programmed that way.
I'm sure you can make it happen.
You can give her a soul.
Take good care of her.
I hope you live your life
without regret.
So you were...
created and sent by me
from the future?
So you are a robot?
Don't call me a robot.
I'm a cybordyne model 103.
Bones: Made of
casein multi alloy from Jupiter.
A cybernetic organism.
Brain: Nanotechnologically
combined neurons.
Skin: Organic tissue
just like humans.
Then, for example....
Are these just like humans?
Right.
So you are capable of doing it?
Doing it?
You know, "it."
What's "it"?
Sex.
Come here.
What?
Just come here.
Okay.
Face up.
Go and wash your face.
Oh, what did he mean
by "disaster"?
I can't talk about the future.
Okay.
Oh, that over there is my pet.
I named him Raoul.
It looks great.
Thank you.
What kind of meat is this?
It's a delicious pot of Raoul.
Raoul!?
That's how we started
living together.
Hey. What are you doing?
This is a place to study
so you need to be quiet.
Got it?
Jiro, run! If we are late,
we'll flunk.
I don't think we can make it.
Kyoko Iwashita.
- Taishi Endo.
- Here.
Jiro Kitamura.
Jiro Kitamura?
Here.
Kohei Kurihara.
- Kenta Sato.
- Here!
Yes!
Yuichi Shibasaki.
Kaoru Suematsu.
You...
How did you get here so soon?
I have no idea.
Here we go.
Top of the first inning!
Sato!
Be quiet!
Open to page 73.
I will explain this
with the diagram.
Who is she?
She's my friend.
You don't want that?
No.
Then I'll take it.
Let me join you.
What's your name?
I'm Kenta. Kenta Sato.
Why do you ask?
You are so straight. I like that!
You want us to start as friends?
She's got a healthy appetite.
She is. She ate my pet too.
What bizarre taste.
Speaking of bizarre.
There is an ethnic group,
the Chraumah, in the Near East.
I heard they eat
the shit of capybaras.
The recipe is odd.
They catch a capybara
and sew up its asshole.
To keep the shit in.
Then give it
a lot of its favorites.
After a week of feeding,
there is a lot of shit inside.
Then it's time
to open the asshole.
Grab the stomach like this
and squeeze the shit out
so they can eat.
You like shit?
Thank you!
Hey you, drink up.
We're friends.
She shouldn't.
I'm not sure how alcohol
will affect her.
Relax. All girls can
handle booze these days.
Don't you know
women rule the world?
See?
How was it?
This isn't good.
I think you're drunk.
Stop doing this and that.
You don't want to die, do you?
Shall we go home?
Let's go home.
Can you walk?
We gotta go.
See you all.
Hey, Jiro.
Bye now.
Are you okay?
...the integral of
sine n omega t by
T over 0 to 2,
then subtract...
...n omega t by T over T to 2
from that.
Professor, please be careful.
Class dismissed!
So from 2000 yen then.
Your change is 610 yen.
I'm going to the restroom.
Can you wait here for Mommy?
Welcome. Is this for here?
Yes. Let's see...
I want a Freshness Burger, regular.
Sorry. Say that again?
I want a regular Freshness Burger.
I want a regular coffee.
Mommy, I flew!
I flew in the sky!
I flew in the sky! Mommy!
Your girlfriend is very beautiful.
Looking for something?
Well...
Are you wearing
my underwear?
Two adults.
My 500 yen coin...
Thank God.
Jiro!
I...
love...
you.
What are you doing?
This is not for drinking.
Feeling okay?
Gotcha!
What happened?
Wash your face.
Last night, a fire happened
at a soccer training camp.
Three boys received minor burns.
It's suspected the fire was set.
Luckily, a miracle happened.
Someone burst into the room
and saved the kids.
It was too dark to see her face.
I woke up and I was in smoke.
A young woman came in
and saved us.
It's burning.
But that young heroine
disappeared from the fire scene.
They believe she was an angel.
An angel saved us.
I'm sure she is an angel.
An angel helped us.
What, an angel?
Don't open it.
That man, his eyes bother me.
- Hey.
- What?
Let's visit your hometown.
My hometown?
My hometown is long gone.
A big earthquake razed my village
so we had to leave.
After that a new town
was created there.
Only strangers live there now.
My hometown is gone.
Don't you wanna go?
But it no longer exists.
You regretted not returning there
until you died of old age.
So I got old and died?
So I will die.
Right?
I will end up dying
like everybody else.
Hey, stop weeping
like a little girl.
You won't die soon.
That's not it.
I miss my hometown
and my grandmother.
I feel sorry for myself
for aging and dying....
Stop it.
Let's go.
Yes.
Thanks.
This is good.
Mouth too full.
I'm taking you to your hometown.
But you have to promise me.
No matter who will be there,
you can't talk to them. Okay?
Okay.
It's just the same as
when I was a kid.
Ryosuke?
That was Ryosuke.
He hasn't changed at all.
Jiro! Is that you?
Take a look.
Jiro gave these stones to me.
My daddy told me
these are fossils of brackens.
These are very, very old,
older than 100 million years.
He's me.
Me as a child.
You in the future asked me.
When I see Jiro in the past,
make sure to take him
to the hometown.
My house is there, I think.
We had a persimmon tree.
People called it
the Persimmon House.
Coming back from school,
Grandma always waited for me
at the village entrance.
But I didn't want to be seen
going home with Grandma.
I tried to go far away to play
so she wouldn't find me.
Is that Jiro?
Grandma?
Jiro? Is that you?
Grandma!
Where were you?
You must be hungry.
Let's go home.
I'll make a nice dinner for you.
Okay.
Were you good today at school?
Yes. I didn't forget my homework.
My teacher said I did a good job!
Jiro, you're a good boy.
Raoul, wait here.
"To me in the future..."
"When I get bigger,
I will be a great scientist!"
"Ha ha ha!"
When you go back to the future,
will you give him a message?
"Thank you."
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I promise I will tell him.
Grandma often used to
give me a piggyback ride.
I remember her back was
big and so warm.
Is mine warm too?
No. Your back is cold.
You have no body temperature.
Oh, really?
But your back is warm too.
Not only your back,
your heart is even warmer.
I know.
Come here.
I'll give you another ride.
Thanks!
Ouch! Stop!
How dare you!
I heard this much later...
Grandma was...
Actually, she was my mother.
She was old when she had me.
So she hid it.
Maybe because her back was cold...
or because of
the side effect of time travel,
I had to recuperate For awhile.
I wonder if she's becoming
able to Feel my heart.
She is connecting with
something inside me.
Or Is it just an illusion?
What will happen to me
due to the change in the timeline?
Mr. Kitamura, it's time for your shot.
Please wake up.
There you go.
Breaking news.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
An unknown man broke into
the Ranzan Girls High School
and took some students hostage.
Hold it please.
Our reporter Is at the scene.
Mr. Toyokuni?
I'm In front of Ranzan High.
This is a scene of total chaos.
The assailant broke into
a classroom in the east building
around 8:35 this morning
and is holed up with hostages.
We don't know who the man Is.
He hasn't made
any demands so far.
At Ranzan High,
a place supposed to be safe,
why is this happening?
People here look very confused.
According to several witnesses,
the man has a knife.
Also he was walking unsteadily
and sometimes screaming.
So he could be drunk
or high on some kind of drug.
Is this? Okay.
We've just confirmed his Identity.
The assailant is Takeshi Abe, 37,
unemployed, of Kazama, Chiba.
The assailant is breaking
the glass in the windows.
Can you see what he's doing?
How will the police deal with this?
We can only hope that
there will be no casualties.
The assailant is coming out now,
holding a knife on the teacher.
He's screaming something.
I'll kill this teacher.
I am Takeshi Abe!
I won't die alone!
Did you hear me?
I will not die alone!
Seems the sniper's just shot.
Go ahead, shoot!
I'm gonna take 'em all!
The sniper missed.
It just made the man angrier.
He went back.
This is a dangerous situation.
The shot missed.
We can hear girls screaming.
Seems the girls are
trying to restrain him.
But it didn't work.
He still has the knife.
It's getting worse.
Who is that?
Someone passed the perimeter
and went up...
Someone is fighting with the man.
Are we seeing some kind of hero?
Or a superman from the future?
The police just caught the assailant.
It looks he's been injured.
I can't find the hero anywhere.
How could it have happened?
How can anybody move so quickly?
Great.
What a great job!
I knew that...
You're my girlfriend.
"Quick Solution at Ranzan High!"
I was asked by you in the future.
He remembered
some sad incidents.
When a truck ran over a boy
in front of your burger place...
When the fire killed
the soccer club boys...
You got deeply sad.
You in the future could only
watch them getting killed on TV.
After the sniper missed,
eight students were killed.
It didn't make sense
but eight died just like that.
It left a big scar on the families
and many friends of the girls.
You in the future were saying
it should've never happened.
Me in the future must be
a very kind person.
Right?
Right.
You in the present too.
I guess me in the future
also loved her.
I'm definitely starting
to love her.
You didn't feel anything?
Right.
No heart beating either?
Right.
You know what I was doing?
Yes.
I see...
How about you?
I felt a shock.
Like kissing a battery.
I can shock you more.
No!
I don't want it.
Why are you angry?
Never mind.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm expecting
far too much from you.
But what should I do
about my feelings for you?
I hate that I'm the only one
feeling this.
I see you everyday like this...
What should I do?
If you can't say
"I love you"...,
say "I feel my heart.
I can feel my heart."
I wish you could say it.
I danced with another girl
to show off.
I wanted to make her jealous.
But it ended up
I was jealous of her.
Dance with me.
Yes!
Dance like this.
Do you know the Robot?
That's it.
Don't you have a car?
I didn't drive it
because I wanted to drink.
I see. I forgive you
but I won't next time.
That girl is following us.
I know, she's my bodyguard.
Your bodyguard? Really?
You must be important.
Not really.
Stop that!
I'm not that easy.
What are you doing?
She did nothing!
She hit you.
You're jealous.
Jealous?
Yeah, jealous.
Envy. The green eyed monster!
I feel sick. I'll puke.
Hey! Will you rub my back?
"Rub my back," I said!
Why did you do this?
Stop following me.
Get out of my house.
I don't like you anymore.
Stop right there.
You eat too much.
You are rough.
You punch me far too hard.
I don't want to see you
even walking.
Serious?
I'm serious.
I don't want you to see me.
Close your eyes!
Until I disappear.
And never show yourself
in front of me again.
Got that?
When I got sober, I remembered
what I said to her.
I used the same words
she said to me last year.
I couldn't understand...
why I said such things to her.
Yo...
Where did my dream girl go?
She's gone.
No. I made her go.
To where?
The far future.
Let me go there!
You make it happen.
Gotcha! Jiro, Jiro, Jiro, Jiro!
- Welcome.
- A hot chocolate...
After she left, I returned to
my boring life agaln.
But life seemed
totally different to me.
Her existence had
definitely changed me.
I'm sorry.
Raoul?
Raoul!?
She brought Raoul From the past?
So she came here?
Who the hell did that?
Show your freaking face!
I know who did this!
I'll count 3. If you don't,
I'm gonna come and kill you!
Raoul.
Raoul?
Raoul?
Raoul?
"Open your window!"
Where have you been?
I missed you so much.
Let's go to a safe place.
Yeah...
You're great.
You're my girlfriend.
No!!!
You have to go.
No. You have to come with me.
You have to go.
No!!!
Don't say that.
We're together.
I'll never leave you.
I...
I feel your heart.
I can feel your heart.
You have to go.
Don't look back.
Don't look back at me.
I don't want you to see me
like this anymore.
Disappear.
NO!!!
I...
I feel your heart too.
I can feel your heart.
61 years later
It took 61 years from that time
to recreate her.
In a stroke of good fortune,
her memory was retalned.
She hadn't aged at all.
I feel your heart.
I can feel your heart.
Congratulations.
Happy birthday.
The year 2133
Will you come and
take a look?
I found a robot that
looks like you.
Where is it?
How could this happen?
No idea.
When was this made?
It was made in 2070.
He was remarkably active in the US
and Hong Kong until 1972.
This robot was called Bruce Lee
and it was knocked down...
to 6 billion caps.
Congratulations!
Let's see the next one.
This female cyborg was
made in 2070.
Some people might already know,
there are memos by the creator.
This cyborg experienced
time travel and went back to 2008.
The memo also says that
she and a man saved many lives.
She experienced
the Tokyo Earthquake.
Her lifetime is over
but in her head there is...
a memory chip from that time.
5.8 billion caps.
5.9 billion caps.
Anybody else? 6 billion caps.
6.2 billion caps. Nobody?
We are closing the bid.
It was knocked down to Y782
at 6.2 billion caps. Congratulations.
There is a bonus for you.
That would be
the cyborg owner's mascot.
Congratulations.
Let's see the next one.
C'mon!
This robot is named Elvis Presley.
It was said to have
the best joints and music system.
Happy birthday...
Sorry It's messy...
Are these just like humans?
You don't want that?
Then I'll take it...
Thank you...
Is mine warm too?
Me in the future must be
a very kind person...
You're jealous...
NO! I!
You're my girlFrlend...
I feel your heart...
I can feel yourheart...
I put her vivid memories
into me.
I got permission
to time travel for a short time
to see this man in her memory
dead more than 60 years.
I wasn't allowed to meet him.
But I just couldn't
control myself.
I wanted to meet him.
I wanted to meet him
before she met him...
prior to that memory chip.
I saw him.
I saw him alive.
When I saw him,
I started to love him.
So my heart was crying.
But I couldn't show him that.
Do you like the spaghetti here?
They have a 2005 Bordeaux.
I couldn't believe that he'd been
dead more than 60 years.
People in this city...
Tokyo before the earthquake...
It was so unbelievable For me.
I tried to make a lot of memories
with him in the short perlod.
I wanted to see the place
where he was living.
Everything in her memory chip
was coming to me as my own.
Her memories were very vivid
like my own childhood memories.
It was here...
He grabbed my shoulders...
and kissed me.
He's a bad man.
He doesn't like me anymore.
Because I eat too much
and I act crazy.
I'm very jealous, he said.
At first he didn't mind but
he said I punch him too hard.
My short trip was going to end.
Time to say goodbye.
I didn't want him to see me crying.
He wouldn't understand
the reason for my tears.
Close your eyes.
Just do it.
Okay, my eyes are closed.
I have to say goodbye now.
Okay?
I don't want you
to see me leaving.
Close your eyes until I'm gone.
Okay?
Count to 1000 then open your eyes.
Make sure to count to 1000.
And...
Take this.
A birthday gift to you.
I bought this
for my birthday, really.
It's yours now.
Actually...
I came from the future...
100 years from now.
In a time machine.
Surprised?
I am!
At that time I had to start
walking away, slowly,
to go back to the world
in which he was already gone.
Aren't your eyes open now?
No. They are closed.
You're a liar!
I can see you clearly.
I've got very good eyesight,
better than 20/10.
Your eyes were open!
Were you looking at me?
No. They've really been closed.
You can come back and check.
Were they really closed?
You sound like an idiot.
You're an idiot!
You're right. I am an idiot.
Idiot!
You can open your eyes.
It's okay now. That's enough.
I'm feeling much better.
I'm okay now.
You can see me smiling, right?
Sure. I can see you.
My eyesight is great too.
It's better than 20/10.
I can see your smile.
Be careful going back!
I feel your heart too.
I can feel your heart.
I came back to
the time he was allve.
I decided to live here...
to be with him.
Because I feel his heart.
I can feel his heart.
