Despite remarrying and moving to the coast, the death of Ikuo continues to haunt her as she struggles to find meaning in the world. In 'After Life' (1998) the dead arrive in limbo and are invited to select one memory that they wish to carry with them to the afterlife.

In 'Nobody Knows' (2004) 12-year-old Akira (Yûya Yagira) wakes up to find a note from his mother which includes some money and instructions about looking after his three younger siblings while she is away.

However, when their mother fails to return after several weeks, the children are forced to deal with an increasingly chaotic situation as Akira tries to prevent their landlord from finding out the truth. Finally, in 'Still Walking' (2008), middle-aged art restorer Ryota (Hiroshi Abe) and his sister Chinami (You) return to their childhood home with their own families for a gathering to mark the 15th anniversary of the death of their older brother who drowned while saving another boy's life.
