00:00My name is Takuya. I've been having weird dreams since I was in 6th grade.
00:05It's a dream of a woman that I don't know and me grown up.
00:09I like you, Takuya. Will you go out with me?
00:13What? Um, I like you too. Can I?
00:18Uh, um, yeah. I'm okay if it's you, Takuya.
00:25What? Who is his woman?
00:31This woman is so pretty, like a celebrity.
00:35But I don't know her in reality. But in my dream, I know her.
00:40Next morning, I went back to sleep.
00:46But what was that dream last night?
00:49I remembered the dream even after I woke up.
00:52But the woman didn't appear in my dream for a while.
00:56And when I became an 8th grade student, the woman appeared in my dream again.
01:01It was a dream of me growing up and her enjoying talking while walking down the hallway.
01:07The next morning when I woke up, I remembered the dream clearly.
01:11It's the same woman from the dream the other night. Who is that?
01:15After that, I started to have dreams of her a few times a year.
01:20The dreams were about the ordinary everyday life of the woman in me.
01:24However, I had a really shocking dream when I was a senior high school student.
01:29It's a dream about the woman that always appears in my dream and me hugging each other and crying.
01:38I'm crying. Why am I also crying? Who is that?
01:44I was pissed at myself.
01:47Time passed and I became a university student.
01:50I entered a manga club and joined a welcome party nervously.
01:54My name is Takuya. Nice to meet you.
01:58It was when I introduced myself and looked up after bowing.
02:02Hey, it's the woman from my dream.
02:05I was stunned, staring at her with surprise.
02:09Hey, is something wrong?
02:12Oh, no, it's nothing.
02:15That must have been gross. I couldn't stop following her with my eyes.
02:20It was the woman's turn to introduce herself.
02:23My name is Miho. Nice to meet you.
02:27Miho, as I thought. I don't know her, but why in my dream?
02:32I was really confused, but I wanted to talk, so I started talking to her.
02:37I'm sorry for that. You looked really like someone I know, so I just couldn't take my eyes off you.
02:43They say that there are three people who look just like you in this world.
02:48I just started drawing manga, so I still have a long way to go.
02:53I draw manga too. I want to see your drawings.
02:56Although I couldn't say we meet a lot in my dream because I was just too gross,
03:02Miho made me feel nostalgic and we got into a deep conversation.
03:07As the welcome party finished and I went back to my apartment,
03:10I was remembering the conversation I had with Miho.
03:13She reminded me of the woman in my dream, but it can't be her.
03:18It was a weird event, but I convinced myself because I wasn't sure I remembered the person in my dream clearly.
03:25But she was nice, pretty on top of that.
03:28A few months later, it was time to get prepared for the university festival.
03:33At this time of the year, everyone in the club was friends and there was a good atmosphere.
03:40We're going to produce manga in pairs and sell them at the university festival, so draw your lots.
03:47Lottery, it's who you pair up with.
03:50We took turns and it was my turn.
03:53Oh, I got green. Please pair me up with someone nice.
03:58Who was green?
04:00Me! Yay! I'm glad it's you, Takuya.
04:05I'm so lucky.
04:07Me too. Let's make something great.
04:10I really like your drawings, so I want you to draw.
04:14I was pleased. We decided that I'd do the drawing, Miho does the scenario, and drawing assistant.
04:20As the date of the university festival got closer, the more we stayed and worked late.
04:26I want to borrow some books from the library that I want to use as a reference, but there's going to be many.
04:33Can you help?
04:35The library was far from this room. We walked down the hallway chatting.
04:40I'm sorry. I know you're busy. I'll buy you coffee when we are done with it.
04:45Don't worry about it. It's a group project. We work together.
04:49Ah!
04:50What is it?
04:52This scene was in my dream.
04:54Oh, it's nothing. Sorry I scared you.
04:58Come on. My heart almost stopped.
05:01What?
05:02Well, after this, suddenly someone comes out and bumps into Miho. I have to watch out.
05:08I think I was already falling in love with Miho at this point.
05:12I'll walk on that side by the classroom, so you walk on this side.
05:17What? Why?
05:19Just come on.
05:21A minute later, it happened just as I had expected.
05:24Sorry. Are you okay? I was in a hurry.
05:28It's okay. Be careful.
05:30Huh?
05:31That was surprising.
05:33Hey, you made me walk on the opposite side.
05:37How did you know?
05:39It's just a coincidence.
05:41My heart was beating fast as my dream became real.
05:45After that, we sold manga we produced at the university festival.
05:49Thank you very much.
05:51I'm so glad it's sold.
05:53Our booth ended on a high note, and we had a blast at the after party.
05:58On the way home after the party, I sent Miho home to her apartment.
06:03I feel great.
06:05I hope people who read our manga will buy it again next year.
06:08We smiled at each other.
06:10After looking at each other for a while...
06:13Takuya, do you have a girlfriend?
06:16No. No, I don't.
06:19I like you, Takuya. Will you go out with me?
06:22What? I... I like you too, Miho.
06:27Can I?
06:28Um, yeah.
06:32I'm okay if it's you.
06:35Realizing that this was a reproduction of the dreams I had when I was in middle school,
06:40I released all my feelings towards Miho.
06:43After going out with Miho, I realized that there were many of the same scenes that I sometimes saw in my dreams.
06:50I was surprised every time, but I kept it a secret from Miho.
06:54I don't want her to think that I'm weird.
06:57At that time, I realized that I hadn't had dreams of Miho since I was a senior high school student.
07:03Does this mean we're breaking up?
07:05No, I don't want to break up.
07:08My four years in university were filled with memories of Miho.
07:12Miho was everything to me.
07:14I hoped that we could get our jobs in the same area and even get married.
07:19We are going to be apart, but I want to be with you as always.
07:23Me too.
07:24We'll be okay.
07:26We'll see each other on the weekends.
07:28My office was three hours away by bullet train,
07:31but we reconfirmed our feelings for each other and started our working lives.
07:36Just as we said, we visited each other's places even after we started working.
07:41It was hard going home, and Miho often cried at the platform of the bullet train.
07:46I was touched too.
07:48After working for two years, I reached my turning point.
07:51What? I'm going to Canada?
07:54It's a three-year post. Good luck!
07:57It was an honor, but I thought about Miho right away.
08:01I couldn't imagine a life without Miho.
08:04I got transferred to Canada next year.
08:06Will you come with me to Canada?
08:08Will you marry me?
08:10What?
08:12Um, yes, I will go with you.
08:16It's my pleasure.
08:19I was cried, relieved that she accepted my proposal.
08:22We hugged each other.
08:24I will support you even after going abroad.
08:27When I first met you, I had an intuition that I would get married to you.
08:32I didn't think it would become true.
08:35Maybe there is really a person of destiny.
08:38We were at the peak of our happiness.
08:41Three years have passed. It was our third anniversary.
08:44We are going back to Japan next year.
08:47It's been a long time we had kids.
08:49Yeah, I want both a boy and a girl.
08:52How about a quadruplet of boy and girl pairs?
08:55Were the dreams I had been having since I was in middle school a precognitive dream?
09:01We fell in love with each other like we were meant to be.
09:04I thought to myself that I would cherish Miho all my life for being together happily in a peaceful atmosphere.
