Is this a 3 years time skip? Im not confuse but im just making sure that it is

I think it is but we will se the lead up to the 3 years

The “3 years later” starts at the interview. The scenes before that were spanning a couple months or a year or something (so taku leaving back to japan, and the news host saying “earlier this year” referring to the crash)

Ohhhh ok thanks for explaining hehe
