1:56
So let's deal with it.
2:00
To give the greatest experience to the story.
2:02
Lately, the book in the book of the book is very amazing
2:06
and it's also wonderful as it is.
2:08
It's the book of the book.
2:10
The book will help you to understand the story.
2:12
Students are pretty old,
2:14
and you've got a different character.
2:16
That's why when you think about the book list,
2:21
I thought I would like to take a bite of that meat.
2:26
The food I ate was perfectly fine with a bite of meat.
2:31
It is said that the stars are shining in the night of the temple.
2:37
The sky that I was interested in in this word was the light of a friend's sword.
2:44
It is said that it is not easy to make a living with it.
2:49
The sword is the best for taking pictures, and the snow is strong enough.
2:55
It started the investigation of both of them.
3:00
However, the snow was finally over.
3:06
When the snow fell down, the snow stopped in front of the old adventure.
3:12
Looking here, the snow is falling.
3:16
That was one of Tokyo Tower's first
3:18
small compartment that was hidden under the old adventure.
3:25
There was a strange rocket pendant.
3:30
There was a fire called the name of the secret fire.
3:36
There was a sword that no one could know about this pendant.
3:43
The pendant of the pendant was a piece of art that was forgotten by the past.
3:50
The second time, the world war, the story of Sakura's fairy tale that was commemorated by Tokyo.
3:59
The story of the pendant was the life of the person who was impressed by this story at that time.
4:06
As a result, the sky became more confident in itself.
4:12
As a result, the sky was not able to solve the problem alone.
4:21
It was a new discovery in the relationship with friends.
4:28
From above the Tokyo Tower, they were looking at the cherry blossoms.
4:34
The sky was determined in the heart.
4:38
In order to find a new adventure, we were able to find it.
4:45
The cherry blossoms in the middle of the cherry blossoms were looking at the cherry blossoms.
4:51
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.
4:56
The cherry blossoms in the middle of the cherry blossoms were looking at the cherry blossoms.
5:06
Amidst the towering presence of Tokyo Tower, the spring wind was lifting Sakura petals into the air.
5:20
Sora found an old diary on the observation deck of the tower.
5:24
The diary was worn with handwritten letters that were barely legible.
5:30
Sora wanted to solve the mystery of the diary in between his busy college life.
5:39
Sora wanted to solve the mystery of the diary in between his busy college life.
5:52
The contents of the diary were vague and fragmented.
6:02
It was written on the night when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the stars speak.
6:26
Intrigued by these words, Sora sought help from his friend's Kento and Yuki.
6:37
Will you help me uncover the diary secrets, he asked them.
6:49
Kento liked taking photographs and Yuki was knowledgeable about history.
7:00
They began their investigation, utilizing their respective skills.
7:12
However, the clues from the diary repeatedly led to dead ends.
7:25
Just when they were about to give up, Yuki noticed an old telescope.
7:34
Look here, Yuki shouted.
7:49
There in a corner of Tokyo Tower was a small compartment hidden beneath the old telescope.
8:01
Inside it was a mysterious locket pendant.
8:13
Ingraved on the inside were a name and date revealing the key to the secret.
8:27
This pendant might belong to the owner of the diary, Kento said.
8:52
The diary and the pendant were connected to a forgotten historical event from the past.
8:57
The story of a cherry blossom fairy commemorating the reconstruction of Tokyo after World War II.
9:12
The diary's owner was a person involved in that story during those times.
9:17
With the mystery solved, Sora began to feel confident in himself.
9:41
By collaborating with Kento and Yuki, Sora was able to solve a mystery he couldn't
9:57
He learned the importance of collaboration with friends in making new discoveries.
10:10
From the top of Tokyo Tower, they looked down at the blooming cherry blossoms.
10:21
Sora made a resolve in his heart.
10:32
He would solve any mystery to find new adventures.
10:44
Sakura pedals danced in the wind, painting the night sky of Tokyo.
