[3] The story follows a man (Takao Osawa) who returns to his hometown and listens to audio diaries recorded by his school sweetheart (Masami Nagasawa) before her death.

In a neglected box in her Tokyo apartment, Ritsuko finds a teenage girl's audio diary on an old cassette.

Ritsuko's fiancé Saku spots her in a television report at Takamatsu Airport about an approaching typhoon.

Hoping to win a Walkman, Saku and Aki write to a local radio station that reads out listeners' stories of tragic romance.

When Saku wins by concocting a story about a girl with leukemia, Aki records a tape chastising him, saying it is wrong to lie about such things.

After they visit an uninhabited island and find an old camera with undeveloped film inside, Aki collapses and is admitted to hospital.

As the typhoon approaches, she takes shelter in Shigezou's shop and sees a photo of the young Saku and Aki in wedding clothes.

In the present, Ritsuko calls Saku from Shigezou's photo shop and apologizes for not delivering Aki's final tape.
