Ep. 9: "Not fully giving up on his love and dreams... Best proposal via chance reunion"

Episode Synopsis. Reiji (Ohno Satoshi) wants to reconcile with Misaki (Haru). He proposes to start all over again by accepting each other's shortcomings. She says she will agree only if he complies with her conditions, one of which is to not meet for awhile. Despite accepting her terms, Reiji still wants to see her by way of disguising it as a "chance meeting". When he heard that Miura (Kotaki Nozomu) passes by Misaki every morning on his way to work on his bicycle, Reiji tries to do the same. However... Meanwhile, Pres. Wada (Kitamura Kazuya) of Stay Gold Hotels has a surprising announcement...
Drama Notes:

Dai oika [ダイオウイカ]. Giant squid. The sighting of the elusive giant squid (Architeuthis) that Muraoki was referring to was during a joint venture of NHK and Discovery Channel in July of 2012. The resulting documentary which was said to be the first one to film the squid "in its natural habitat" was shown in January of 2013. The squid is said to measure 26 feet. You can watch a sample clip here.

Swingy [スウィンギー]. It is an actual yuru-chara. It is a seagull (I thought it was a duck lol) created in 2007 to serve as a mascot of Naka Ward, Yokohama. According to its profile: Swingy was born in Osanbashi Pier, and also plays jazz music with a saxophone.

Just an FYI - the sub's timing for this episode is off starting around the 10 minute mark through to the end. I tried to delay them with my player but could never get it timed right.
Thank you again though!!
