Japanese schools start in spring with the blooming of the cherry trees. The trees that symbolizes rebirth, fittingly enough. That is why they graduate in winter.

Just for those who are not familiar with Japanese (not that I am an expert or even much of novice), "Sayonara", although a word people often know from Japanese, is not a very commonly spoken word. It is a word you only say if you don't expect to see someone again, it is a final goodbye. It is a very emotionally charged word. That is why Kumiko says that she doesn't want to say goodbye (Sayonara), because she hates the idea of never seeing Asuka again. In response Asuka says "Mata ne" instead, which, as the subtitles say, means "See you". Mata ne implies that you will see each other soon again, that you are not permanently separating. It also implies that she intends to see Kumiko again. Japanese is such a subtle yet powerful language, where the choice of a single word can completely change the meaning of a sentence. This is why I cannot watch dubbed anime, you miss like half of what is going on because english lacks many of the important subtleties that anime often rely upon in japanese to convey information to the audience. This includes the tone and formal language used (speaking formal or informal to someone can sometimes be more important than what is actually said).
