That's why our team wanted to try some different ideas this year,
This year, we thought it would be fun to really shake things up and try out some new ideas.

A big dream that shines brilliantly with every step forward.

Together with everyone,
Together with everyone,
as it grows without end in size... and in brilliance.
as it grows endlessly... always bigger and brighter.
However, I was the one who ruined it all.
But in the end, I ruined it.
If this is how it ends...
Had I know that from the start...
I would have been better off being all alone from the start.
I would have been better off keeping to myself.

Go get some fresh air, instead of being cooped up in your room.
You can't stay cooped up in your room forever. Go get some fresh air.
Was it always this hot out?
It sure is hot out.
I'd forgotten, from being in my room for so long.

Sorry.

It had a fine launch—
It had a fine launch—
the rocket that your team made.
the rocket that your team made.
It really was a fine launch.
It really was a fine launch.
I know you might not take this so well coming from me,
I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear this from,
but when I saw your rocket soar straight up like that,
but when I saw your rocket soar straight up like that,
it felt like a breath of fresh air.

The weather conditions weren't great that day.

But that clean, powerful trajectory, reaching high into the sky...
It really was exhilarating!
It really was exhilarating!
So I wanted to share that excitement I felt.
I just wanted to make sure you knew that.
It was thanks to everyone.
They did a great job.
The whole group worked hard to launch that rocket.
Everyone worked really hard right up to the launch.
Yeah, including you as the leader—
Yeah, under your leadershi—
Y-You're wrong!
I-I had nothing to do with it!
A-All I did was t-tell everyone I wanted to build a rocket.
A-All I did was t-tell everyone I wanted to build a rocket.
I d-didn't do anything!
I d-didn't do anything!
I...
I...
I'm... no leader.
I'm... no leader.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?
I'd love to hear more about that, if you don't mind.
The spark that made you first want to build a rocket.
What sparked your desire to build a rocket in the first place?
What was it that drove you?
What inspired you?
You wanted to go to space to find friends that your words would reach?
You wanted to search the stars for friends that would understand you?
What a fascinating idea.
That's fascinating.
It's absurd to think there wouldn't be life out in the vast reaches of space!
It's absurd to think there wouldn't be life somewhere out there in the vast reaches of space!
Which means that your plan is teeming with potential.
If you ask me, your plan's totally feasible.
And there's something really inspiring about finding a place where you belong.
And there's something really inspiring about finding a place where you belong.
I think it's wonderful.
I think it's wonderful.
A-Akizuki-san, you're too kind.
A-Akizuki, you're too kind.
A-Anyone else would laugh at a dream like mine.
A-Anyone else would laugh at a dream as bold as mine.
Since I can't do anything.
I've got these big ideas,
All I do is talk big.
but I can't actually do anything.
I'll n-never change.
I'll n-never change.
I can't change anything.
I can't change anything.
I'll always be weak and helpless.
I'll always be weak and helpless.
I know that I'll never actually make it anywhere.
Deep down, I know that I'll never actually make it.
I know that I don't belong anywhere.
I don't belong anywhere.
But Takaragi-san, Raimon-san, and Akeuchi-san...
But Takaragi, Raimon, and Akeuchi...
None of them laughed at your dream, either.
None of them laughed at your dream, either.
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
They thought your dream sounded exciting, so they joined you.
They thought your dream sounded exciting, so they joined you.
They wanted to become a part of that dream of yours, so they built a rocket with you.
They built that rocket with you because they wanted to take part in your dream.
They believed in your dream, so they chose you to be the leader.
They believed in your vision. That's why they elected you as chairwoman.
You're all trying to go to outer space?
You're all trying to go to outer space?
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Nothing wrong with outer space, I guess.
Nothing wrong with outer space, I guess.
If that's how you really feel, that is.
If that's how you really feel, that is.
I think your dream is really awesome!
I think your dream is really awesome!
You know, Konohoshi-san.
You know, Konohoshi.
There might be a place where you belong right here on this planet.
I think you might have already found a place where you belong.
Weren't you looking for a place to belong?
Weren't you looking for a place to belong?
Now you have one, so good for you.
Looks like you found it. Good for you.
Have you never stopped to think about it that way?
Maybe you just weren't looking at it from the right perspective.
I-I...
I-I...
B-B-But I was the one who r-r-ruined it all.
B-B-But I r-r-ruined everything.
In that case, you just have to find some firm footing again.
In that case, all you have to do is find your footing again.
Just like how a rocket pushes off the firm ground into the sky,
Rockets can't fly high unless they're launched from steady ground.
we humans can't fly high with shaky footing, either.
Humans are no different. We need a solid foundation too!
Solid footing is what will allow you to soar further and higher.
Solid footing is the first step to soaring further and higher.
Consider yourself lucky if you fall over and discover a weak spot.
If some loose ground trips you up, that's still a win.
That just means you can make it sturdier for next time.
Fixing it will make you even more prepared for next time!
So don't just blindly blame yourself for everything.
So don't just beat yourself up over every little mistake.
You need to fully understand:
Look at it as a learning opportunity.
what is it that you have now,
What did you do right?
and what is it that you lack?
And what can you change next time?
Hey, are you going to stay down?
Hey, you're gonna get back up again, right?
Are you just going to give up on it all?
Don't tell me you're thinking of throwing in the towel.
Even though you have room to stand back up?
You know you have what it takes to stand back up.
Are you just going to turn a blind eye to it?
All you have to do is accept it.
The... The...
The... The...
The place where I belong...
The place where I belong...
I was always scared that I didn't belong anywhere.
I was always scared that I didn't belong anywhere.
I wasn't proud at all about where I currently was.
I wasn't proud at all about where I was at the time.
All I wanted was to look up and yearn for the distant stars—
All I wanted was to be somewhere far away.
the farther, the better.
The farther, the better.
That way, I could look away from the darkness at my own feet.
I hoped that the deeper into space I went, the easier it would be to ignore the darkness at my feet.
But if I have a place here...
But if I have a place here...
If it's okay for me to be here...
A place where it's okay for me to be.
If I want to stay here...
Somewhere that I want to be.
I want to get up and see for myself...
I want to get up and see it for myself.
what I can do right now.
I want to see what I can accomplish.
Now that I realize... that everyone has made a place for me.
Now that I've realized... that everyone's made a place for me.
Now that I want to take good care of it.
I have to take good care of it.
Even if I make a fool of myself...
Even if I make a fool of myself...
I want to stand tall,
I'm going to get back up again.
so that I might take flight someday.
Because one day, it'll be time for me to take flight.
Feel free to reach out at any time.
Feel free to reach out any time.
S-Sure.

The experience of launching your very own rocket
The experience of launching your very own rocket
has inspired a lot of people to go down that path.
inspires a lot of people to go down that path.
And you know, with good results, you can use it for recommendation into a university!
Not to mention, a good result or two looks great on a college application!
So as a stepping stone for making it to outer space,
So if your heart is set on making it to outer space,
taking part in model rocketry as a high schooler makes sense on a practical level,
taking part in model rocketry as a high schooler really isn't a bad place to start,
a-and, well...

By everyone.
A fierce hope inside me to take the next step.
A fierce hope from deep within, calling for me to take the next step.
So these were my sparkles.
My brilliant light.
I'm sure you know lots

Your planet must be a wonderful place as well.
