3:04I see a couple of people who are currently in a big trouble. The next couple of people are going to be in trouble. They are all testing things out. They've been trying to make sure that they don't get hurt. In the past few weeks, the people who have failed to get hurt that's all they put in. This is the case for the people who are sick. The next couple of people are going to be worried. The next couple of people are going to be worried about trying to get hurt. The last time I was in the airport in a while, I was in a hurry. The face is a beautiful moment of beauty in front of the camera. I wonder if that girl is really coming to that friend's home. The face is a little uneasy. Yes, I will definitely come. You may have taken photos with your camera, but you may not be able to see the person. However, there is no way to find a person who is a person.

4:11Halt will be a little worried. Maybe I will go home now. If you don't give up, you can answer the question. I remember that person's face. If you are worried, your face will suddenly disappear. Halt! Look at that person. In the direction where the girl was raised, there was a male who was a little angry. Halt is looking at the male carefully. He is a little worried, and his chest is heavy. He may be that kind of person. Halt is worried, but he is worried about that person. He is going to be worried and he is going to call him.

5:16He is going to show a smile that the male is looking at. Halt! It's been a while. Halt and Halt were smiling at each other for a long time. After that, we are looking for a flower in the garden with the scent of the flower. There is no way to tell the nostalgic story of the day. This day is over, and Halt has disappeared. It is important to protect the image of the past and the past, and it is a new beginning. In the flower garden in the garden, the scene that was connected to the last night, Halt's heart suddenly disappeared. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any part you may have missed.

6:18Halt's wind is gently blowing in the wind, and the fresh air of the cherry blossoms in the garden was shining beautifully. As the gentle spring breeze blew, the cherry blossoms of Shinjuku, Jion, and were in full, beautiful bloom. Today was the long-awaited day of the Cherry Blossom Festival. People were having a picnic seat, and the cherry blossoms were having fun, and they were having lunch. People spread out picnic sheets, enjoying the blossoms while drinking sake and eating bento lunches. The wind is blowing from the east to the east, and the sky is all over the place. Joyful laughter echoed from all around, and the entire garden was filled with lively energy.

7:21Halt and Kaori were in a place where many people were able to meet. Halt and Kaori came to this place overflowing with people. They wondered under the cherry blossoms, hoping to find an old friend from their childhood. Halt was a quiet state, but he was in a state of panic, and he was in a state of panic for a long time. Although Halt has a quiet personality, he is filled with a sense of adventure and eagerly anticipated reuniting with old friends.

8:21Kaori, camera in hand, was trying to capture the beautiful moments of the cherry blossoms. Halt and his friends were able to meet at the same time, and Kaori was a little worried. Halt, do you think we'll really be able to meet those friends from back then? Kaori asked, looking a bit anxious. Yeah, I'm sure we'll meet them. The photos you're taking with your camera might even help, hard-o-replied with a smile. However, the garden was so crowded that finding their friends proved difficult. Halt was a little worried.

9:26Halt was starting to feel a bit anxious I wonder if they've already gone home. Don't give up, Kaori answered cheerfully. I definitely remember their faces. Halt, after a while, Kaori suddenly shouted, Halt, look over there.

10:27In the direction she pointed, there was a man standing under a cherry tree a little distance away. Halt has squinted to get a better look at the man. Memory slowly came back and his heart raced. Could it really be that friend? With his heart pounding, Halt awoke towards the man. Takeshi, he called out anxiously.

11:29The man turned around, showing a familiar smile. Halt, Hissashiburi. Halt, long time no see, we finally met, Takeshi and Halt over coming the years apart, embraced each other with smiles. After that, the two of them, along with Kaori, shared fond memories under the cherry blossoms. The stories of past days and their current lives were endless. As the day drew to a close, Halt realized the importance of maintaining bonds from the past

12:53and how there can be new beginnings through chance encounters. Amidst the flurry of cherry blossom petals, the joy of their reunion imprinted deeply in Harto's heart.
