In _Watamote_ episode 2, Tomoko meets Hatsushiba from _Class 1-17_ and starts
imagining a scene where they are riding a bicycle to watch the sunrise.

What is this scene a reference to?

What reference is this scene involving riding a bicycle to watch the sunrise making?


It's a reference to Ghibli Studio's [Whisper of the
Heart](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisper_of_the_Heart). The BGM sounds like
[Country Roads](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home,_Country_Roads)
which also happens to be the theme song of the film.
