  Trailer (2004/120sec) English Translation

Sayuri : The promise we made after school someday. I will go to the tower.

Hiroki : On that distant day, we made a promise that would never be realized.

Sayuri : "In between the oh-so violent fevers and gasping, you asked me...."

Sayuri : "....to get the last bowl-ful of snow, descended from the skies,"

Sayuri : "the realm of galaxies and suns and atmospheres...."

Note: The poem which Sayuri is reading is "Eiketsu no Asa (Morning of Final Farewell)" written by Kenji Miyazawa. ( http://www.home.ix.netcom.com/~kyamazak/lit/miyazawa-eiketu.htm )

Sayuri : Amazing!

Sayuri : An airplane?

Hiroki : I will surely go beyond the border to that huge tower rising from Hokkaido, the unknown land.

Voice Acting:

Sayuri : Let us make a promise!

At that time, we felt that this place and time would continue forever....

3 Years Later.

Hiroki : But the world surrounding me will keep betraying me again and again in the time to come.

Hiroki : I am the only one....

Sayuri : I am the only one....

Sayuri : ....left in the world. I feel like so.

A Man : Since falling ill during the summer of the 3rd year of junior high, she has continued to sleep for the last three years, huh?
