01:00Don't forget your ticket. You won't get very far without it. Wait, don't tell me that's everything.
01:05It's fine, Mom. I made sure I packed everything.
01:09Make sure you don't forget your luggage on the train and pay attention. You don't want to miss your stop.
01:15Mom, I've got it. Jeez, I've been going there every year. I know what to do.
01:19Here, put this on. It's very hot out there.
01:23It's alright. I'm fine.
01:27Love you!
01:28Love you!
01:57I was six when I first met him.
02:15On a warm summer day, I was lost in the forest of the mountain god, which was said to be
02:21where the spirits lived.
02:25After running around looking for a way out, I became so tired, I couldn't move.
02:31I started crying from fear and loneliness, and that's when he found me.
02:39Hey, Shorty!
02:43Huh?
03:00Why are you crying?
03:07Please, help me! I'm scared!
03:10Ah!
03:21Uh, sorry.
03:24Sorry.
03:26You're a human child, right?
03:29If a human touches me, I'll disappear.
03:36If a human?
03:38So, you're not a human?
03:42I'm something that lives in this forest.
03:45What?
03:46Then, you're one of the spirits.
03:50But, what do you mean by disappear?
04:00Uh, huh?
04:20You're really not human after all.
04:26No human would hit a kid like that.
04:30To disappear means to be gone forever.
04:36That's the spell that the mountain got placed on me.
04:40If I get touched by a human, that's the end.
04:48I... I'm sorry.
04:50Here, Shorty. Grab the other end.
04:55You're lost, aren't you?
04:56I'm... I'll lead you out of the forest.
05:02Thank you!
05:09What did I just tell you?
05:10Sorry, I forgot.
05:12What?
05:27It's just like we're going on a date.
05:30Not a very romantic one.
05:39You... aren't afraid?
05:42Huh? Of what?
05:45Never mind.
05:49Just head straight and you'll hit the mountain path.
05:53Bye, Shorty.
05:55Will you always be here?
05:58So, if I come back, can we meet again?
06:02This is the forest where the mountain god and spirits live.
06:06Set foot within and you'll be lost forever.
06:09You really shouldn't come here.
06:11That's what the villagers all say, right?
06:18Well, my name is Hotabu.
06:21What's yours?
06:26What's yours?
06:41Anyways, I'll be back tomorrow with a gift.
06:45Bye.
06:46It's Keen.
07:08Hotaru!
07:09Huh? Uncle!
07:13Hotaru, you idiot!
07:15If you go into the forest on your own and get hurt, what would you have done?
07:31Uncle?
07:32What?
07:33Is it true that spirits live in the forest?
07:36Oh, the mountain god's forest.
07:38Who really knows?
07:40That's what they say.
07:46When I was little, I wanted to see for myself, so every weekend my friends and I snuck out to
07:51go look.
07:52In the end, we never saw any, but I always had the feeling they were around.
07:57If you listen closely on summer nights, you can hear the sounds of the music playing from the forest,
08:03and now that I'm thinking about it, Iwa said that she and her friends went to a festival in the
08:07forest.
08:08But there's no way the villagers would have agreed to a festival in the forest.
08:13So then, whose festival could it have been?
08:17It started this crazy rumor that they snuck into a festival held by the spirits.
08:23Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
08:25Man, that sure takes me back.
08:28We were so stupid back when we were kids.
08:30Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
09:00This is the forest where the mountain god and spirits live.
09:03Set foot within, and you'll be lost forever.
09:31You came.
09:34I didn't think you'd really come back.
09:38You...
09:39Huh?
09:41You waited for me!
09:47You just don't learn, do you?
09:49Oh, I was just so happy.
09:52Sorry.
09:56It's hot here.
09:57Should we go somewhere cooler?
09:59Huh?
10:01Don't worry.
10:02I'll make sure you don't get lost again.
10:05Ah!
10:08Oh!
10:09Oh!
10:17Oh, my God.
11:00Oh, my God.
11:10No, she's my friend.
11:13Is that so?
11:15Little human, please don't touch Gin's skin.
11:20If you do, I'll eat you.
11:31Is that a fox?
11:36No, he's one of the spirits.
11:39He transforms to scare people, but he's all bark and no bite.
11:43Oh, my God.
11:48This is the first time I've seen a real spirit!
11:51Something really do exist!
11:53So what did you think I was?
11:54Amazing, incredible, fantastic!
11:59Gin, do you not have a face or something?
12:03Why do you always wear that mask?
12:05No real reason.
12:07What?
12:08Well, never mind me.
12:10Tell me more about yourself.
12:12Huh?
12:13You're curious?
12:16Well, that's why I waited for you.
12:24The next day and the day after that, I went back to the forest.
12:32All summer, I ran and played around in the mountain.
12:40Come on, come on!
12:42Well, it's better over there.
13:00Even though it was silly, it was so much fun.
13:12Huh?
13:13Huh?
13:25Huh?
13:28Did you fall asleep?
13:38It'll be fine if I touch his mask, right?
13:43Huh?
14:12I don't know.

14:12I don't know.
14:12I don't know.

18:29I went and visited the forest
18:31I went and visited the forest
18:40see you later
18:45Ginn
18:46I'm here
18:49I'm a fifth grader now
18:54somehow
18:55you're starting to look a little like a woman
18:57I am a woman
19:01can we go now
19:04hmm
19:14oh
19:16huh
19:17nothing
19:19even though I'm a middle schooler now
19:21a lot of my friends from elementary school are still in the same class
19:25it doesn't feel like anything's really changed
19:27we're starting to get closer in age
19:36again age is much slower than humans
19:46like this
19:49yeah yeah
19:50so when I start running you let go of it okay
19:55here I go
20:00oh
20:01oh
20:30As the years went by,
20:32I got older, but Ginn is almost the same as the day I met him.
21:17Someday, I'll be older than Ginn, won't I?
21:49Oh, Hotaru.
21:50I cut some watermelon.
21:52Let's eat.
21:54Okay.
22:01Where's Mom at?
22:03She went out shopping with your aunt.
22:05They went to get a gift for their friends in Yokohama.
22:09What time are you getting on the train tomorrow?
22:12I don't know, but they said something about a delay.
22:16Is that so?
22:19We had some great weather this summer.
22:21It really made the watermelon sweet.
22:24If it keeps up like this, the winter will be freezing.
22:29Is it like that?
22:30Yes, it's like that.
22:32Since we live between two mountains and the oceans far away,
22:36the difference between the summer and winter is huge.
22:39Extreme cold weather follows an especially hot summer.
22:42It could probably freeze the mountain god himself.
22:46Hmm.
22:47Hmm.
22:52Um, Uncle?
22:54Um.
22:55Hmm?
22:58A scarf?
22:59Yep.
23:01Make sure you use it in the winter, okay?
23:05Bye!
23:08Uh, okay.
23:12See you next summer!
23:20Huh.
23:30Hotaru?
23:31Shouldn't you be heading to your next class?
23:32Huh?
23:34Huh?
23:34You're right!
23:35Everyone already left!
23:37I'll see you later then.
23:39Okay, thanks!
23:55We had a cold front move through this morning, gave us a few plows and a few sprinkles, but it's
23:59long gone now.
24:00And a big ridge of high pressure is...
24:02Thank you for dinner.
24:03Huh?
24:04You're done.
24:07Did you eat something before dinner?
24:09If you overeat, you'll gain weight.
24:11Mom, I didn't eat anything!
24:13Jeez, I'm gonna go take a bath!
24:15...
24:15...
24:16...
24:24...
24:45Ha-ta-roo!
24:47Ha-ta-roo!
24:50Oh, good morning!
24:52Good morning.
24:54Watch out for the ground.
24:55It's frozen.
25:01If you're not careful, you'll slip.
25:15It's pretty cold out.
25:19I haven't seen you around very much.
25:22Every time I do, you seem pretty distracted.
25:24And if you need anything, I'm here for you.
25:27I want to...
25:31seek in.
25:45Please hurry.
25:56To be continued...
26:31Is that your new uniform?
26:33Uh-huh.
26:43Time really flies, doesn't it?
26:47Yep.
26:58You don't come running at me anymore these days.
27:00I learned my lesson from all those beatings.
27:11I'm looking forward to it.
27:13In three years when I graduate, I plan on looking for a job here.
27:19Then I could be with you more.
27:22In autumn, winter, spring, always, right?
27:38Hotaru, let me tell you something.
27:42I'm not a spirit, but I am no longer a human.
27:47It seems like I was once a human, but when I was a baby, I was abandoned in the forest.
27:54I was alone and scared, so I cried helplessly, as if trying to call for the parents who left me.
28:06They say I didn't stop crying for a long time.
28:15I should have died then.
28:17But the mountain god appeared and cast a spell that allowed me to live.
28:25So now, I'll never move on.
28:33I'm like a ghost.
28:39Hotaru, it's okay if you forget about me.
28:45A body that's maintained by magic is very weak.
28:49If it touches a real human body, the spell will break and the body will disappear.
28:54It's such a fragile thing.
28:56How long can you...
28:58Something that disappears when touched.
29:00It's just like snow, isn't it?
29:03Gin, I thought of you during the winter.
29:07Even in autumn.
29:09In spring.
29:11Gin, don't forget about me.
29:15Don't forget.
29:20Time may separate us someday.
29:23But even still, until then, let's stay together.
29:35Spirit festival?
29:37No, a summer festival held by the spirits.
29:40That's not much of a difference.
29:42The nuance is completely different.
29:45When you were younger, I didn't invite you.
29:47I thought you might get scared.
29:49But tonight, can you sneak out of your house?
29:53I've wanted to go with you for a long time.
29:58Yes, I want to go.
30:00Meet me at eight at our usual place.
30:03But a festival filled with spirits sounds a little unnerving.
30:07On top of that, it's a night.
30:10Don't worry.
30:11It's not all that different from a human festival.
30:14It's supposed to mimic human festivals, after all.
30:17And I'll protect you, Hotaru.
30:19When you say things like that, it makes me want to hug you.
30:23Do it.
30:24Oh.
30:24Seriously?
30:26Seriously?
30:32Seriously?
31:00You're right.
31:02It's just like a human festival.
31:05Are they all disguised as humans?
31:07That's right.
31:08Impressive, isn't it?
31:09I've heard that humans sometimes unknowingly mix in.
31:14Like Iwa and her friends, huh?
31:16Who?
31:22Hotaru, tie this around your wrist.
31:25You'll get lost.
31:31It's just like going on a date.
31:33This is a date.
31:38Shall we go?
31:39Mm-hmm.
31:47No.
31:57Oh.
31:58Oh.
32:02Oh, dear.
32:11Oh, dear.
32:12Oh, dear.
32:13Oh.
32:24Look, that kid has a tail.
32:43I'm sorry.
33:02Wow, that was so awesome.
33:05Everyone went all out with their disguises, didn't they?
33:08It was like a mimicking competition.
33:11Is it like that every year?
33:13Yeah, every time summer comes around.
33:18Hotaru, I can't wait for summer to come around anymore.
33:23When I'm away from you, even though I can't be around humans, I want to go see you.
33:53That mask, keep it.
34:04He probably won't be there next summer.
34:09This is definitely our last.
34:13Hey, wait!
34:16Watch out!
34:19Hey, are you okay?
34:21Yeah, thank you.
34:22Be careful, okay?
34:34Gin?
34:37Was that boy a human?
34:45Gin?
34:48Come here, Hotaru.
34:50I can finally hug you.
35:32I love you.
35:34Yeah.
35:36I love you too.
35:38I love you too.
36:01Far away were the forests of the mountain god.
36:26I probably won't be able to look forward to summer for a long time.
36:35My chest will hurt.
36:37My tears will be overflowing.
36:42But this warmth in my hands and these summer memories will live on in my heart.
36:54I will never forget.
37:00My heart will never forget.
37:03I will never forget.
37:47You're alone, you're on your own, so what have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what
38:04is yours?
38:10Glass half empty, glass half full, well either way you won't be going thirsty, count your blessings, not your flaws.
38:33You've got it all, you lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown.
38:45You're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head.
38:54Put all your faults to bed. You can be king again.
39:08You don't get what all this is about. You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt.
39:21You've got it all, you lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown.
39:43You're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head.
39:52Put all your faults to bed. You can be king.
40:00There's method in my madness. There's no logic in your sadness.
40:11You don't gain a single thing.
40:17You don't gain a single thing from misery. Take it from me.
40:25You've got it all, you've got it all, you lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you
40:34can reclaim your crown.
40:37You're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head.
40:46Put all your faults to bed.
40:49Put all your faults to bed.
40:50Put all your faults to bed. You can be king. You've got it all.
40:57You lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown.
41:06You're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head.
41:15Put all your faults to bed. You can be king again.
