The 100th Love with You

A young Aoi sits on a park bench, upset over a broken record in her hands. Aoi is approached by a young Riku who claims he can fix it. The moment foreshadows a unique bond that will shape their lives.

The scene cuts to present day as university student Aoi Hinata falls into her seat, jolted awake, disrupting the class. She’s anxious about spending the summer studying abroad in London. The disruption signals a personal stake beyond normal student life.

Aoi plays in a band with Naoya, Tetta, and Riku while Rina observes. Riku remains distant, though he and Aoi share an undercurrent of mutual affection. The dynamic hints at unresolved feelings that complicate their friendships.

The crew posts flyers and paints signs for an upcoming concert on Sunday, July 31. Aoi is torn between her affection for Riku and wanting to maintain friendship with him. The looming performance adds tension to their summer.

Naoya attempts to confess to Aoi in front of the group, but Aoi’s mind drifts to her unspoken feelings for Riku. The moment exposes a quiet love triangle and leaves Naoya feeling exposed. Aoi’s discomfort underscores her internal conflict.

While working on a new song, Aoi discovers a hidden record and a player in Riku’s closet, and Riku abruptly warns her not to touch it. He hints that some things should remain unseen. The moment plants the seed of a deeper secret.

On concert day, the band performs poorly as Aoi’s thoughts drift to yesterday’s revelations. She loses focus and storms off, overwhelmed by conflicting feelings. In a tense chase, a piece of song lyrics falls from her handkerchief into the street just as a truck nears, and the screen cuts to black.

Aoi wakes up back in the same classroom, confused and disoriented as the day resets. She confronts her friends, insisting that something is wrong, and discovers that Rik u is one step ahead of everyone else. The repeated pipe burst confirms that time is looping.

During a sunset conversation, Riku reveals that he has been cheating fate by manipulating time through the record. He guides Aoi’s hand to the needle, and she wakes again in the classroom, aware of the time rewind. The revelation reframes their entire relationship.

Riku recalls the first time he played guitar for Aoi: as a child, he rewinds time to fix her birthday moment when her father’s record broke. He pushes his uncle to teach guitar, rewinding again and again until he can perform the song for her. The secret origin shows how far he’s willing to go for her.

A montage shows the couple growing closer, turning their summer into shared memories. They celebrate holidays and a season of affection, including a necklace gift that marks their bond. The montage cements their relationship as something enduring within the time loop.

With London looming and the future uncertain, Riku appears unsettled, while Aoi assumes his anxiety is about her departure. They reaffirm their commitment to each other at the upcoming festival, choosing to face the future together. The moment intensifies the promise of a shared life.

The band delivers a sweeping performance, and the crowd celebrates the moment. Afterward, Riku frantically searches for Aoi and discovers her missing body as an ambulance arrives. The screen fades to black on the devastating death of Aoi.

In the aftermath, Riku learns of Aoi’s sacrifice and revisits the record shop where her last message is played for him. Her voice urges him to be strong and live a full life, giving him a final birthday present of closure. He begins to move forward, the bench by the ocean standing as a quiet reminder of what they shared.
