Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World (世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ) (2004) – Hitomi wo Tojite (瞳をとじて)
I wake up every morning To a reminder that you’re gone My back that used to feel your warmth is now so cold Stop with the bitterness Let’s open the heavy curtains The sun is too bright It chases after me everyday The tears you showed me that day Those tears that glowed in the sunset The warmth from your shoulder Every time I try to forget My heart, my body Remember you Your love forever I close my eyes and think of you That’s all I need Even if the seasons leave me behind Will I ever become numb to the feelings you give me? Maybe it’s better to fall asleep with this pain That day we looked up to the starry sky We searched for a light and made a wish But it disappeared so quickly My heart, my body You light them up I wish forever I close my eyes and think of you It’s all I can do Even if the world decides to leave me behind Your love forever I close my eyes and think of you That’s all I need Even if the seasons leave me behind and change colors I’ll search for you in my memories That’s all I need Because you gave me the strength to overcome the pain of loss Because you gave it to me

[MDL: 7.5/10] Ritsuko discovers an old cassette tape, while packing her things to move into a new apartment. She listens to the tape and hears the voice of a frail girl saying “I’m so afraid of tomorrow that I can’t fall asleep. I think I’m going to die soon.” Soon after, Ritsuko leaves a sparse note for her fiance Saku, “I’m going away for a while. Don’t worry about me. – Ritsuko.” During this time a Typhoon is approaching Japan and Saku watches the news at his friends bar. He spots his fiance walking in the background of a news report at the airport. He knows Ritsuko is going to her home town of Shikoku and Saku decides to go back there as well, the place where he grew up and first met Ritsuko and the girl on the tape.
