fills every day with joy.
Chie Nagashima
APRIL BRIDE
Is the Media Architects person here?
Sorry!
It's my pleasure to meet you,
My name is Chie Nagashima.
Do you have the script?
I know it.
Good. This way.
Excuse me.
You're sure?
Yes.
Now, if you'll look at the screen...
that single thin line you see there...
is Mobile Corporation's new TA708...
the world's lightest and thinnest cell phone...
as seen from the side.
With its stylish design and many functions...
Stop, stop.
This isn't right.
Taro, her script is weird.
Uh, right...
You're here for Media Architects?
Chie!
What are you doing here?
You're in the other hall!
They're starting!
Hurry!
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
Most people would check first!
But you said " red'...
Not here!
What I mean is...
Here!
Use your eyes!
You're late
You get here too late!
You've got to come earlier!
I'm sorry
You're not new.
Well...
You've been here before.
Yes.
Well, use your head!
Thanks.
Hi.
Would you like to sit down?
Thanks.
Sorry about today.
It was my fault.
I'm sorry I made you late.
Not at all.
You got in trouble...
And that's how I met Chie.
Here I am.
Sorry.
What are you looking at?
Come on.
Let's go.
How amazing!
They just sail over you...
Yeah!
Say 'cheese'.
Here...
No!
I'd be scared to swim in there.
That's the biggest one...
Isn't it?
How amazing!
Here we go.
Oh, thanks.
All they had was orange juice.
Yeah?
That's cute.
Cheers.
It's been a while.
Really?
Let's take this seriously.
No?
Well, I'm pleased...
Is there someone else?
I see...
I was partying alone...
I like you a lot.
I'm...
Be mine.
I'm at the station.
Where are you?
Out front of the apartment.
I'm starving!
OK, I'll make dinner.
For real?
For real.
You eat salad?
Yeah, thanks.
Let's eat.
What?
You don't like fish?
No, I don't.
You don't?
Only 'broken-neck mackerel'.
'Broken-neck mackerel'?
They break the neck when it's caught
to keep it fresh.
I had it once in Yakushima.
Where's that?
Okinawa?
Kagoshima.
Have you ever heard " Joumonsugi"?
7,000 years old, maybe.
Huge.
Well...
Just like this.
Believe me.
They're amazing.
I'd love to go there.
Don't go too fast.
What?
Don't go too fast!
Can't hear you!
Wait!
Too fast!
See you!
I can't pedal it!
Take one of those levers and push it forward.
Forward? This one?
On this side.
No? Try the other one.
This one? Whoa!
Is it heavier? Yeah.
That's fast!
Be carefully!
So relaxed! Yeah.
Watch out! Yes sir!
Excuse me.
That's not good.
We're home.
Chie
Hey!
Wait
Hang on...
Which do you like,
the sea or the mountains?
The mountains, to visit.
I grew up by the sea.
Oh.
Shouldn't you go down home more?
I'll make a phone call.
Your father's alone...
Yeah.
Come on.
Ready?
I'd love to meet him.
I want to meet him.
Do you mind?
No.
I'd like to.
He's got a dog.
OK?
I'm back!
Coming!
Hello.
Who's he?
My honey.
How do you do.
Come in, Taro.
Hurry up.
Hello Please come in.
Come in.
I tried to phone.
Were you busy?
I'll do that.
You go ahead.
I'm home.
Cheers!
Pleased to meet you.
Taro, you're drinking,
so let's stay here tonight.
OK?
May I?
Um...
you're a samisen teacher?
He's a master.
Wow.
I'm not that good.
Is he angry?
Not at all.
Did I say something?
No.
Eat.
OK.
Did Chie tell you about her mother?
Yes.
That she died.
Masayo was beautiful,
a good dresser,
wasted on me.
I wonder why she married me...
She could cook, keep house, everything.
Then she died.
Ovarian cancer.
Chie was on her mind right to the end.
She was only ten.
After she died...
Chie took it on herself to run the house.
All she ever cookedwas stir-fry.
She got fatter and fatter,
and I got thinner and thinner.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Don't tell me...
No! It's a cold.
You're OK?
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Chie. Listen to me.
This isn't enough.
I'm serious about you.
This is very sudden.
But I really mean it.
I'm happy being happy now.
What's wrong?
Chie?
Nothing.
It's nothing.
Your hair...
Come on. We'll be late.
Wait!
What's going on?
It's the medicine.
Medicine?
Chemo.
I have cancer.
Breast cancer.
So this is it.
What do you mean?
This is it?
Now that you know,
it's over between us.
What?!
When did you find out?
Just after I met you.
Does your dad know?
Why didn't you say?
I couldn't.
It's hard for me to say.
Because I like you so much.
Sorry.
Two days ago the doctor said...
they have to cut off my breast.
I can't hide it any more.
I'm not leaving.
I want to be with you.
It won't work.
Why not?
It's weird.
It's not normal.
What's 'normal'?!
You don't know what cancer is.
Yes, I do.
You don't.
It'll be bad.
I won't... For me.
I'll regret it.
So goodbye.
No.
Chie...
Hey, Chie!
Let's talk.
Chie!
Dear Taro...
I guess being with me...
has left youa bitter memory.
I'm sorry.
I know you'll find someone better.
Goodbye.
Wait here, please.
Good luck.
I'm fine.
I'll be OK.
And it's late.
I'll come back tomorrow, then.
Coming here won't change anything.
Forget her.
I'm serious.
You make it harder.
Her mother's last six months were bad for her.
She's worried she's going the same way.
I want to help her.
That's nice. But...
Tell me where she is.
I don't know!
She said not to tell.
Here you go.
This is 'broken-neck mackerel'?
Yes.
From right here in Yakushima.
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
It's good!
You're from Tokyo?
Yes.
Just outside it.
Where did you hear of broken-neck mackerel?
On TV.
Enjoy your meal.
Thank you.
Do you play?
A little.
Why are you here?
To see the Joumonsugi you told me about...
so I'd feel better.
Did you see them?
Come home with me.
Why did you disappear?
I didn't want you seeing me.
Stay there.
You see?
I'll be fine.
I can make it on my own.
Stay back.
Keep away!
When we were together...
I didn't tell you.
I don't care!
I knew I should...
but I deceived you.
Nothing about you has changed.
No matter you have breast or not...
I want you the way you are.
That might change.
I won't change!
You don't know that!
I promise.
Do you?
I...
won't change, either.
I promise.
Taro...
Yeah?
I lost a breast...
and found a treasure.
At least you have taste in nails.
That's my job.
Where did you get that wig?
I want one like it.
It's yours.
My hair's finally growing out.
Remember Sakurai from school?
The good-looking guy?
Yeah. I ran into him the other day.
He remembered you?
He called to me.
He's gotten really fat.
Really?
Are you still with Taro?
Does he know?
I told him.
I'll introduce you.
Finally!
Whoops! Sorry.
Oh!
You're off work.
What's for dinner?
Good question.
Do you know how many steps from here to home?
I don't know. Do you?
Yeah.
From that drainpipe...
Start with the right foot.
15, 16, 17...
And then...
Chie's cancer came back.
Kayoko...
Are you OK?
This is Chie's mother's younger sister.
Her Aunt Kayoko.
How do you do.
Are you feeling all right?
Uneasy?
I'm fine.
I need you to work late.
Uh, today...
I need this done today.
Thank you.
Nabe!
Taro! I was scared.
It hurt!
So much I cried.
They took out a liter of water.
Yeah?
Poor you!
A liter...
That must have hurt.
I'm sorry I'm not there.
So what are you going to do?
Be there for her.
For her?
Like a volunteer?
What's that supposed to mean?!
Taro!
Don't talk to your father that way.
It's not out of pity.
I just want to be with her.
At some point you'll get tired of holding her up.
I won't!
The one who'll be hurt most...
is her.
Hi.
I'm moving in here.
You'll commute from here?
Yes. Impossible.
There's no need.
I'm here during the day.
You'll wear yourself out.
Don't do it.
I'll be fine.
It's tiny!
I can't even roll over.
It's OK.
Yeah?
Taro...
I'll beat this.
We'll beat this.
OK?
Brush slower.
Thanks.
Off you go. I'm going to work.
A match made in heaven, huh?
Who does he look like?
Who?
Tiger Woods?
I'll do that.
I can do it.
You sure?
I want to.
#2 Never mind, never mind.
#2 Fight, go!
Excuse me.
Ms Nagashima...
Are you all right?
We'll take your blood pressure.
That's a bad cough.
Talk about what?
The treatment, I guess.
Maybe she needs another operation.
Where's Chie?
Shall I go get her?
She doesn't want to come.
It's moved into her bones.
None of our chemotherapies
have had much effect.
Another operation?
No.
Then...
radiation?
No.
Think in terms of'weeks'.
What do you mean?
Say that in a way we can understand.
Chie has, perhaps,
a month to live.
Maybe less.
We won't...
tell Chie.
All right?
Your color's better.
I'm taking a break from the chemo.
Can I get you anything to eat?
OK, an ice.
I'll go get one.
What did the doctor say?
That I've got a year to live?
Of course not!
Keep on with the treatments,
and you'll be fine.
Don't be silly.
I'll go get a change of clothes.
Taro...
I'm fighting this.
Get out of the hospital a while.
You need a break.
I'm fine.
Please.
OK.
Tomorrow I'll go clean up our place.
Morning.
What about work?
I took the day off.
I have to use my holidays.
Oh.
Here.
Thanks.
Now you'll sleep right.
How are you?
Taro...
Don't let work slide because I'm sick.
I don't want you losing your job because of me.
I know that.
I'm back.
Hi.
You look like you're in a good mood.
This new painkiller really works.
But it can't be just that.
Why else, I wonder...
That sticker on her arm...
Yeah...
That's a kind of narcotic.
That's why she's so happy.
Don't tell her.
Your dad's late today.
He's stopping at Mom's grave.
I see.
I really miss my mom.
There.
Thanks.
Excuse me...
Good morning.
How are you?
Fine.
Doctor...
do me a favor.
What?
Thanks.
OK? Yeah.
All those tapes?
When I started school!
Uh-oh! Where are you?
Not telling.
I'm going for smokes.
And miss this?
Chie's eating already!
She's eating.
I never watched these videos.
They'd make me too sad.
But they're not bad.
Want some, Daddy?
Not now. I'm filming.
I'm so ugly!
Chie...
Go out onto the lawn.
That's good.
Your mom's back.
I'm filming Chie.
Dad...
What?
I'm sorry.
For what?
Getting cancer.
Just get better.
Yeah.
What should we do then?
Go on a trip with you.
To a hot spring?
Sure.
It's a table for five.
Thanks.
We're off!
I love the rib meat, but the calories!
Eat what you want today, or you'll be sorry.
You never know when you'll die.
Never say 'die'.
Who's going to die?
I'm speaking hypothetically.
That's right!
Taro...
What?
Cake.
Have one.
A panda...
It looks like Chie.
You eat it.
You eat it, then.
If she did, she'd be cannibalizing herself.
Yeah.
This is great.
It's my birthday.
It is?
Yes.
So Chie left you...
and went out with her friends?
I hope she's having fun.
Well, I'm not a very attractive companion...
but with our pandas...
cheers.
Happy birthday. Thank you.
The panda's gone.
It's good. Thank you.
Thank you!
Happy birthday.
I'm late.
How was tonight?
I had fun.
I want to go out again.
Where should we go when you get out?
I want to walk by the river.
With a puppy.
Right.
Let's get a dog.
Really?
OK, then...
a pug.
A pug?
Or more than one.
You mean it?
As many as we can take care of.
That's confusing.
I'm alive.
Of course.
Morning.
Being alive is amazing.
There was a lump.
I thought it was strange when I felt it.
I kept an eye on it,
and went to the doctor a month later.
That's when I found out.
You knew then it was cancer?
Yes.
I was 23.
OK?
Yes.
You improved with treatment...
Yes.
Was that hard?
What's going on?
I asked Satomi to find me a TV station.
Why would you do that?
For them to do a show on me.
But then...
everyone's going to see you sick.
You realize that?
If I'd gone to the doctor sooner
it might not have gotten this bad.
There's not much information on breast cancer...
in women in their 20s.
In books, or on the net,
there isn't enough.
But you don't have to fix that.
I've been thinking about...
what I can do.
I want young women to know
they can get breast cancer.
And not just that.
I want women who have it...
to see me on TV and want to fight it with me.
I'm against it.
The world is full of horrible people.
They won't just invade your privacy.
They'll gossip about you
and tear you to shreds.
Taro...
I'm against it.
That girl...
She doesn't even know the truth,
and she calls a TV station!
And Satomi, too.
She could have told us.
Chie knows...
she doesn't have long.
Really?
But only during the day,
and only 30 minutes a day.
Thank you, Taro.
The TV people left that.
Film me with it.
I have to leave lots.
OK...
what do you do all day?
Live.
Where do you want to go when you get better?
Everywhere we've been.
I'll lie down.
But the truth is...
I'm fine as long as you're with me.
Cut!
Why? Too staged.
Don't want to talk with you!
Bye.
She's turned her back.
Ta-da!
The dinner?
Friends, panda, and rabbit.
It was good.
The dinner?
No, the cupcake.
I'll bet.
Next year let's both have one.
Yeah, let's.
Cut.
My darling.
Sorry I'm late.
That's Taro's chair.
Hanako... Thanks.
That's ok Thanks.
I'm Hanako. I do nails.
Yuka...
I'm Yuka. I'm looking for a boyfriend.
Not again!
Dad...
Dad?
Nagashima, Sadashi. 60. Single.
I'll take it.
It's like a dating service.
They'll see it all over the country.
Get this, OK?
Taro!
Here I am.
Welcome!
What is it?
Hanako...
I want to put Chie...
into a wedding dress.
Thank you.
Thank you, Taro.
You know what?
That's what she's dreamed of.
If the wedding is next month,
She can be a June bride.
That'll be too late.
Chie...
Tomorrow...
let's take your picture in a wedding dress.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow.
Really?
The doctor says it's OK.
You're sure you want this?
What?
When I...
get cured...
and feel better...
we might break up.
That's OK.
It's not a good idea.
Why not?
Because...
someday...
how is...
the woman you marry...
going to feel?
Chie...
don't worry about anyone.
Don't torment yourself.
You don't have to fight any more.
I just wear a dress...
and take a picture, OK?
I'm scared.
Taro...
I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
Taro!
I'm so scared.
Is it bad, Chie?
Doctor, the painkiller's not working.
Could you come?
Hello.
Excuse me,
There used to be a ring in that window...
I'm sorry.
We're all out of those.
Ready midazolam.
Yeah.
Taro!
Where's Taro!
You're back.
I'm back.
You're back.
I'm back.
Am I alive?
You're alive.
Go straight.
There's a convenience store up ahead on the left.
And then...
One, two, three...
Right at the third light.
If you can't turn right there,
you have to go left... at the light before that.
I can turn.
Dad...
open the sun-roof.
That's nice.
Beautiful!
It's for you Thank you!
OK?
Yep.
I'm back to life.
Thanks.
All right, the two of you.
Here we go.
Don't move!
I'll come up a bit.
One more, please. Here we go.
Good. That's fine.
OK.
Could we have the father in now?
Good.
That's fine. Look this way.
Here we go.
Now the two of you.
Ready? Here we go.
Don't move.
That's good.
Now everyone, please.
Let's get you all.
All right.
Here we go.
Just like that.
That's good. Thank you.
Thank you...
I feel like I'm cured.
You do?
Thank you all.
I'll never forget this.
Don't start crying yet.
You'll wreck your make-up.
Let me cry!
The pictures are done.
You're not done yet.
Chie...
Chie
So beautiful.
Chie is gorgeous.
Chie
#2 Some say love, it is a river
#2 That drowns the tender reed
#2 Some say love, it is a razor
#2 That leaves your soul to bleed
#2 Some say love, it is a hunger
#2 An endless aching need
#2 I say love, it is a flower
The wedding ceremony will now begin.
You are about to take this woman as your wife...
and be wedded to her
according to the laws of God.
Do you pledge to honor these vows...
so long as you both shall live?
I do.
You are about to take this man as your husband...
and be wedded to him
according to the laws of God.
Do you pledge to honor these vows...
so long as you both shall live?
I do.
Lift the bride's veil.
Please join hands.
The ring...
It's that ring...
Marry me.
I should've asked first.
You may now kiss the bride.
Congrats...
Taro...
What?
Today was great.
Thank you.
You weren't tired?
No, I was fine.
I was energetic.
Remember when we first met?
Good night...
Taro.
Chie...
Chie? Not yet!
Chie?
Chie Chie
Chie...
Chie
Time of death: 4:42 pm.
Right now... what do you want to do most?
Now?
Go home...
I guess.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry to bother you at work.
This... is footage that wasn't broadcast.
Chie asked me to give it to you
after she was gone.
Taro, good morning.
Or good evening, maybe.
If you're watching this video...
I guess that means I'm long gone by now.
It must be a weird feeling.
I'm making this video letter because I doubt...
I have much time left.
I made a promise at Yakushima, didn't I.
I promised I'd stay who I was,
no matter what happened.
That I wouldn't change.
I think it's because of that promise
that I've tried so hard.
Did I keep my promise...
Did I stay who I was till the very end?
Was I a good girl?
Just a minute... oxygen.
For you I have only...
gratitude.
'Gratitude' doesn't express it.
How do you describe this feeling?
There is no word in Japanese
to describe this feeling.
I still remember so well,
the first time we met.
Your boss was shouting at you...
but you were doing your best.
'Awkward but trying hard'...
That was...
very attractive.
Taro...
I love you very much.
I wanted...
to cook for you again.
I wanted...
to talk with you...
a lot more.
With you...
we'd have made a great family.
I'm happy...
I found you.
From the sky...
I'll watch over you...
all your happy life until...
you're a happy old man.
Goodbye.
Where's the girl?
Not coming yet?
I'll go look.
OK, we're ready!
Sorry I'm late!
