Excuse me. Excuse me.

-- what are you doing with yourself?

The 15-year-old me--

Kashiwagi-sensei!

I need you for a minute.

Sorry. Carry on without me.

What do you think he wants?

Maybe he's asking her out?

Are you dumb?

Did something happen?

I wonder...

Sorry for the wait.

Can we start from the top?

Yeah. Please do.

Sorry. One more time.

Sensei, what happened?

It's nothing. Let's continue.

Okay.

Did something happen

to Matsuyama-sensei?

Sensei!

Haruko won't be making it today.

She said to tell you all to sing your hearts out.

Why not?! Did something happen to her?!

Tell us the truth!

Sensei?

Matsuyama-sensei

has taken a turn for the worse, so

they have chosen to induce labor.

- Are you okay?

- She has said that the time

between contractions is shrinking.

We're at the hospital! Don't worry!

As for her vitals, her

blood pressure is 158/80--

But she will be fine and

give birth to a healthy baby.

All you can do right now

is focus on the performance

and sing your hearts out so

you have good news for her.

So... let's get started.

Nazuna...

Are you okay?

The real thing is coming up. Focus.

She's right. We don't

even have time for practice!

Now isn't even the time for that!

What would you have us

do, then? Give up now?

- Are you all okay with that?!

- Stop, Riku.

Keisuke, say something!

Weren't we practicing for today?

It's apples and oranges!

How's that?!

Getting mad won't help!

- Stop!

- I'm not mad!

Don't run away!

I'm not running away!

You are!

What you have to do right now is sing!

Yeah, but...

Haruko is putting up a fight right now!

So you put up your own fight here.

You won't help anyone by running away

and nobody will save you.

You're the one who taught me that.

I won't run anymore.

I'll fight, too.

You're not alone here.

Everyone is here.

So you can choose not

to worry about anything

and just sing right now.

Excuse me.

Please head to the

stage as soon as you can.

Please wait here.

What should we do?

We never really got to rehearse.

Sensei.

I have an idea.

Let's call her.

What for?

What are you going on about?!

Please keep quiet.

Sorry.

We can get our song to Haruko!

Akio.

Sit down over here.

Sit down.

Next up is Central Gotou

Middle School's choir club.

Please just keep the line open.

"Smile.

Have the song on your lips. Stay in tune."

Dear whoever is reading this letter:

Where have you ended up, and

what are you doing with yourself?

At 15 years old, there

are things on my mind

that I can't tell to anyone.

But if it's in a letter to my future self,

I have confidence that I can

go ahead and let it all out.

I feel like I've lost, I'm about to cry,

and I could just disappear.

Whose voice

can I follow?

This heart of mine, my one and only heart,

has been shattered so many times.

But for the moment,

I'll live through this pain.

I'll live through this pain.

Dear 15-year-old me: Thank you.

I have things to say to you.

If you keep on searching for the answer

to where and what you should

aim for, you'll find it.

The chaotic tides of your

youth may be hard on you,

but your dreams are a boat

on its way to the shore.

Just don't lose out, and don't cry.

When you feel like

you could just disappear,

your own voice

is the one you can follow.

As an adult, I do have painful

nights without a wink of sleep

but I'm living my bittersweet present.

Everything in life has its purpose,

so just have faith and follow your dreams.

Keep on believing!

Keep on believing!

Keep on believing!

Keep on believing!

I feel like I've lost, I'm about to cry,

and I could just disappear.

Whose voice can I follow?

Just don't lose out, and don't cry. When

you feel like you could just disappear,

your own voice is the one you can follow.

No matter what time we're living

in, there's no avoiding grief

So just throw on a smile

and live for the present.

Carry on living the present.

Dear whoever is reading this letter:

I wish you the happiness you deserve.

Kashiwagi-sensei!

How is Matsuyama-sensei?

- What happened to her?!

- Sensei!

Sensei?

Thank you, everyone!

We were close.

Yeah.

3 years of hard work is over.

For you, too. Good work.

You did good!

Why are you two crying?

Sorry.

I'm sorry I couldn't do better...

You did just fine!

Satoru!

Sensei! Thank you very much.

Thank you, too.

You did so well!

I'm feeling emotional!

You even made me cry!

How was it for you?

I was nervous with so many people around.

You were nervous?

I actually got nervous

when I saw you were here.

Eri, sorry.

Wait-- Nazuna?

Nazuna.

Nazuna.

How do you know my name?

Nazuna.

Nazuna, don't cry.

Just keep swimming.

Just keep swimming.

A ship blowing its horn twice

is a sign the boat is leaving.

Nazuna, don't cry.

Just keep swimming.

Nazuna.

I'm glad you're around.

Thank you.

What about me?

You, too!

I'm glad you're around, too.

I'm grateful for everyone being around.

I'm glad you're around.

Thank you.

Nii-chan.

Nii-chan, did you hear us singing?

Your brother?

He's your brother?

Yeah.

Oh.

So that's who you are.

The song!

Is it soon?

The song!

So you couldn't hear it, then.

- Not yet?

- It's okay, it's okay.

Akio, we're going home.

Akio, let's go.

He couldn't listen to it inside?

That's unfortunate...

It's fine now. Come on, let's go home.

Akio!

We have sopranos here, yes?

And an alto, too. We just have to

do the thing from before.

What thing?

You don't need to worry about it.

Let's all sing together

It's fine, it's fine! No need!

with our hearts as one.

When we're sad

or struggling,

let's all sing together!

Do it in a loud voice.

Let's just sing

without feeling embarrassed!

A song that fires you up

gets through to your core.

Make the whole world shine

with the help of our song.

Make the whole world shine.

Receive our message of love!

Let's all chant together

Bring calm to your heart.

When you're having fun, --

Dear all of you at 15 years old:

To be frank, I hated all of you.

You're just kids, but you're abrasive, loud,

and always running your mouths.

And even so... each one of you is an open

book, and you all know when it's time to get serious.

I'm sure that for myself as well as all of you,

there will be plenty of lows to get through.

But during those times

let's have a song on our lips

and keep moving forward.

We aren't on our own.

And you aren't, either.

This is a very simple yet very important thing

that I learned from a bunch of kids I hate.

Yours sincerely.

Message deleted.

You have no messages.

A sharp "do".

Sensei!

Heyyy! Sensei!

Kashiwagi-sensei!

And... go!

Smile!

Kashiwagi-sensei!
