Did Daisuke pass? Did he pass?

So disappointing.

I failed the Waseda exam.

But actually, I'm kind of relieved.

You made a fool of yourself.

Why?

A young lady doesn't cry on graduation day.

Eh?

Sure, I felt emotional too.

Rena, you don't get me at all.

What don't I get?

It's morning sickness.

What? How many times this years?

Leave me out of it.

I don't care, I'll get rid of it today.

How will you pay?

He gave me money.

Onishi paid?

Come on, I'm past my teen love.

I'm going on a trip to Hokkaido.

Please don't tell anyone.

You need to go that far for an abortion?

You have to be nasty, Rena.

I'll be an actress.

An actress?

That's why you were skipping classes.

I don't plan to get trapped in a boring life.

I heard that before.

It's common sense.

The mother of boredom is day... day...

You mean daily routine'?

Sorry, I don't care much for a petty life.

Some of us have to endure it.

Excuse me, I need to go now.

Where are you going?

Well, "the routine of daily mother..." Eh?

I need to get ready to go. See you!

She's just going to the doctor's.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, school days.

Goodbye.

3 years of serial abortions.

MARCH, 29, 1979, GRADUATION CEREMONY

Hey, Genichi.

The toilet guy.

Come, just ignore him.

Come on, Genichi! You have to...

Genichi!

He's coming.

Genichi.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Hey, wait a minute.

Who is he?

A guy who loves Genichi. They met on the toilet.

If I tell her what really happened, she'll be in shock.

This man really admires Genichi.

So they're homo lovers.

Yuko!

I told you to wait!

But you were late.

- Are you going? - You bet I'm going.

I'm heading North.

I'll go with you until Ueno Station.

If you go to university, you should study harder.

Sorry, I had to study on my own.

Hey, Rena I'm not mocking you...

because you failed the entrance exam.

For you this common life is a funeral anyway.

It's all right for you, Rena.

Most people don't like to take risks.

But I have chosen the hard path.

So you're entering a preparatory school?

It's a great idea.

You think women need an education to gain their independence?

I don't care.

So people will call you a career woman?

No way, you're blushing.

Give me a break.

You have decided to study alone.

How brave of you! Still, you're so silly!

I didn't make you out to be such a tough person.

I'm paying.

- Thank you. - Don't mention it.

My theater troupe will soon perform.

I see.

In Otaru.

The Criminal Dr. Dogram'?

That's right.

A storm of flower petals.

Madness or Passion by the Shinatora Brothers.

The author is Mikael Sakata.

Ah, it's an artist's alias.

You mean you don't know Mikael?

How could I?

He probably didn't like his birth name.

Mikael is the name of an angel.

Really?

And he's pure, like an angel.

He looks tough on the outside, but deep down he is very kind.

Please come visit me sometime.

You have nothing to do anyway.

Sorry for being so common.

Nice ski slopes.

It's cheaper for groups.

So you'd like someone to join you?

Am I interrupting?

Well, I'm going.

- Eh? - Bye, Kikawada.

- See you then. - Alright.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

Did Takigami fail at Aogaku's exam?

Yes.

He's not the type to study on his own for next year.

We appreciate your concern.

It's not just that.

- Coffee. - Sure.

- Say, Sakakibara... - What?

Would you like to go to Hokkaido?

What? Hokkaido?

Junpei is going to ski.

He invited you?

He wouldn't ask straight on.

Too bad then.

He just told me that he's going.

I see.

As a hint.

Huh?

You don't get it?

Get what?

Well, Junpei...

That was his way to ask me to come.

So you're happy, Genichi.

Yes.

How about you, Sakakibara?

Well, Hokkaido you say?

Thank you.

- Say. - What?

There's a weirdo outside looking this way.

- You know him. - What?

Oh, the toilet guy!

Damn.

- Please eat. - Thank you.

Help yourselves with tea.

Surely it's cheaper if she studies at home.

Absolutely.

She's so brave, so motivated to study.

She's really aiming at Waseda University.

She surely has a boyfriend.

Postcard to Rena Sakakibara in Shinjuku-ward, Toyama.

It's a springtime postcard but it's still winter in Hokkaido.

In the cold, I'm reminded of the warmth of your friendship.

Surrounded by illuminations and snow...

I can imagine you daydreaming there.

Would you visit me in Hokkaido?

The performance is coming soon, but my body aches.

We need to be ready for Madness or Passion.

I'd like you to see me on stage.

I'll see you alright Yuko, just wait.

Do you have that much time?

Hey.-

You just failed your exam. You should be studying!

What am I doing in Tokyo apart from daydreaming?

CHITOSE AIRPORT

Hey, it's there.

What kind of person is Takigami?

What do you mean?

Studying on his own, he'll fail again.

How can he go skiing unconcerned?

That's one of the charms of his personality.

I'm sure he'll succeed next year.

I see.

Sakakibara, clean up your own backyard.

I failed just once.

Who are you to lecture me?

- Right? - No problem.

You succeeded so you can't know.

Well, I'm a diligent student.

Far more diligent than the rest of us.

Right.

It looks so cold! That's definitely the Northern Ocean.

Asari, she's lives in Asari.

Who?

Midori Kinouchi, the actress. Don't you know her?

No, I don't.

Kid, you know her?

Kid, where are you going?

- Otaru. - So you're from Otaru.

- You often go to Sapporo? - To cram school.

I see.

Are you in university?

Well, I'll take the exam again next year.

- What university are you aiming at? - Tokyo University.

Hey, he's so young yet he's aiming high.

Hey, that's great... Huh?

Don't touch me, failure.

You sure have a temper.

And your university is probably lame.

OTARU STATION

THE CRIMINAL DR. DOGRAM

DIRECTOR: MIKAEL SAKATA

SHINATORA BROTHERS

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Is this the Shinatora Bros Troupe?

That's it.

We found it.

Hey, wait.

Are you going to Sapporo?

What for?

Just for fun.

OK.

- Such dilemma, such dilemma. - This is madness!

OK, I want more intensity.

Alright, the girls come in...

Jump higher!

Oh, come on! I need realism!

You're monsters! I need soul!

More intensity! You must break the patterns!

Give me the dashing spirits!

You're a swarm of souls!

Gather, gather... and surge!

Intense... right.

More voltage! More!

Right, that's the energy.

Yes, one, two, three.

I need more voltage!

Right, passionate! Be passionate!

- Kouji! Kouji! - Yes.

Why do you even come?

Show us some fire!

- Alright! - It's not alright, idiot!

More effort, more pain!

More pain, the pain of youth.

I need passion, you get it?

Same for you girls.

Don't be just waving your arms around.

- Get it? - Yes.

OK, 10 minutes of meditation.

Excuse me.

Do you know...

a Yuko Taguchi?

- Yuko. - She's not here.

She's picking up a friend at the station.

What?

Rena, I was looking for you.

No, we were looking for you.

We were looking for you.

Ah, Kikawada also came.

I'm going to ski with a friend.

Really?

- Ah... - What?

They're doing meditation... Wait.

I'm sorry.

Zen.

Sorry, I kept you waiting.

I'm so darn bored.

It's like a sacred place here.

Are you living here?

Yes, we have a dorm upstairs.

I see.

Hey you don't expect us to sleep here too?

It's OK. I found you a good place, guys.

Don't worry, I know how you need your comfort.

You both.

Good evening.

Hey, where's your sister?

I don't know.

- Your mom? - She's out.

Didn't she tell you I'm bringing guests over?

She told me to let them in.

Thank you for your...

- Eh? - Ah?

Ah?

You have met?

Briefly... right?

Dinner's ready. Can you eat soon?

Sure, we're so hungry.

Rena, you're so lucky!

Oops.

- Come on, behave. - Sorry.

Let me give you some more.

Tell me...

Where's your mom?

You said she's out. Is she working at night?

- Hey. - What?

It's probably none of your business.

I see.

Ah, we saw you at the theater earlier.

- Right. - Hidetoshi.

Did you show them the rooms?

Not yet.

You guys sleep together?

Eh?

We'd rather not, if possible.

Right, right.

You were supposed to to come alone.

Anyway, there's only one empty room.

My mom is using the other one for her business.

Yeah... her business.

Why don't you sleep together?

Eh?

Anyway, Gen-Chan would never sleep with a woman.

That's the way I am.

You really can't do anything?

She just said there's only one room.

Ah, no way!

Darn Luck.

I'm thrown into a bed with Genichi.

Ah, right...

You could sleep in my room.

Right, let's do that.

It's here.

Hey, that's the business room.

Huh? OK.

You come with me.

There.

Toilet is downstairs.

Our bath is broken.

You have to use the theater's.

- Please. - Thank you.

It's getting warmer.

Right, I arranged the costumes here.

Hi, anything wrong?

Yuko.

Yuko.

Yuko.

There.

Ah, thanks.

Yuko, come on! Wait!

What's wrong?

How about some decency? Come.

Who cares about decency.

Petty etiquette.

Who needs that?

Girls should only bathe with girls.

There's a taboo?

Come on.

Rena, you have a petty mentality.

Nudity is just a concept. All people should undress.

There's nothing to hide.

That would solve all misunderstandings between the sexes.

What kind of group are you?

- It's all about love. - By love you mean sex.

Rena, what are you getting at?

You'd sleep with anyone who asks.

Well, if he asked nicely.

But tell me...

Did he ask you?

Unfortunately, he hasn't yet.

Mom works nights.

I see.

My dad died when I was a baby.

He was a fisherman and died in the Northern Ocean.

I see.

We opened this inn, but no one came.

So we closed the inn.

I see.

That girl is your girlfriend?

Surely not.

I see.

Hey-

Ma)! I join you?

- Eh? - It's cold.

Ouch.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

Hey, easy, don't break anything.

Careful there's a step.

It's not here, keep walking.

Wow, that's a big house.

And this is the guest room.

There... what are you doing?

Don't be impatient.

Wait, wait, alright.

You're excited.

Not like that.

Right, there you are.

It's good.

You mean they don't have a father?

That's what the kid said.

But who was that guy at night?

I saw him sneak out in the morning.

Eh?

And that kid, at night...

wanted to sleep with me and snuck under my futon.

That girl?

The boy.

What? That kid is a homo?

I don't know.

But I kind of understand him.

In a weird way.

He's surrounded by women.

They all have a lax morality.

Right, he matured too fast.

He has to mature fast.

A tricky family environment.

There.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You had a nice walk?

Please, I heard about you.

Sorry about the show last night.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Can I make a call?

Sure.

Thank you.

I don't have time.

Thanks for the meal.

Hey, your jacket.

There you go.

Have a nice day.

- Cram school? - Right.

He's aiming at Hokkaido University.

His generation has no choice but study hard.

Yes, hello.

Mr. Takinami made a reservation at your hotel.

From tonight?

Can we occupy the room now?

See you.

- Say, Sakakibara... - What?

You could join us for a day.

How long are you staying?

About a week, maybe.

Alright, I'll call.

Say hi to Taguchi for me.

- Sure. - Bye.

Bye-bye.

Two.

Three.

Five... Yuko!

Yes.

Yuko!

Yes.

- Yuko, that's enough. - What?

- You don't have to dance. - Why is that?

You don't have rhythm.

You're better fit for a lead role.

Passion, yes... Eros, it is Eros!

Flowing in my veins.

The red waves of an ocean of love.

On the shores of Hokkaido.

Red as the passion of all chained women.

I get it, I get it. We'll see about that later.

Alright?

Yes.

Miss.

Please, move.

Hey! Hey, there!

Hey! Hey!

Enough! Sleep now!

Yes, Yamamoto speaking.

Ah, Mr. Principal.

What? Now? Akiko did it again?

Just tell me.

Well, I'm kind of busy right now.

Rena, please.

Yes.

Her aunt is coming over now.

- What is it? - Miss Rena.

You arrived just on time. I need you.

Yuko, I need passion.

Yes, Mr. Mikael.

One, two, one, two, one, two.

What?

Hey Rena, why are you dressed like that?

Are you auditioning?

Rena, come on.

Come on, answer me.

Well, she entered the boys' building.

I see.

No one can enter during holidays.

She snuck in.

Is it forbidden?

Well, the fact is that her behavior was indecent.

What kind of behavior?

She was taking 500 yen to let the boys touch her breasts.

She often does that.

Uh? What?

It's only her breasts for now but...

She had several victims.

You believe those boys are victims?

It's a kind of extortion.

Extortion?

The boys denied they paid.

Such a fuss about nothing.

At the theater...

you display your body on stage and people pay.

See Rena, this is the the madness of the world.

These boys are just 14!

- Mr. Harada. - Hey.

When did you arrive?

Just now.

- Before even seeing your wife? - Right.

Come on in.

I'm alone at this hour.

You were at sea for so long.

You have here a three-dimensional figure.

If you draw a rectangle inside...

it is fully represented in 3D.

What do we draw next, a diagonal?

Do your kids know about me?

I guess they do.

You need to be brave.

Women always manage.

You smell of the ocean.

You smell just like my father did, Mr. Harada.

I don't want to hear about him.

It's just that...

sometimes I wish he took me in his arms.

Spare me the details.

Ouch, that hurts!

As his best friend he wanted you to take care of us.

Even if I'm married?

You promised not to talk about Shizuko.

Now we're even.

Hey-

Hey uncle, could you take me somewhere?

Where?

Somewhere.

How about lunch?

Sure.

THE HAWK INN

Hey, Hidetoshi.

Studying in a cram school is so hard.

Even during holidays you study.

Mom forbid me to fail the exam.

I see.

Going to university doesn't open all doors.

But my mom compels me to go.

What do you care?

She even wants Akiko to go.

You should decide.

You're aiming at university yourself.

Yes, that's why I can tell you how hard it is.

I see.

Huh?

It's Akiko.

Don't tell Mom you saw her.

Huh? What?

Have you visited the canal?

Yes, I have.

For some reason...

people make a big deal about it.

I see.

Akiko, you should take Rena around Otaru.

Sorry, I have something tomorrow.

Thank you for the meal.

Sorry I asked for anything.

That pretty face could smile sometimes.

Just like her father.

Thanks for the meal.

Go back to your studies.

Don't let your scores fall again.

Alright.

- Thank you. - Let me make some tea.

Thank you.

Hidetoshi was born in Otaru.

- How about Aiko? - In Misawa.

- Misawa? - It's a base.

What's a base?

A base is a base.

Don't you know English? A military base.

Ah, an American base.

Her father was a Sergent in the Navy.

A Sergent?

It's a rank.

I see.

You know so little English.

No surprise you failed your exam.

I'm sorry.

You just have to try again next year.

Ah, right.

Rena, do you know what it is to live?

How should I know?

Are you kidding? I know!

- You're lying. - Yes, I know!

Maybe I was ignorant when I was in Tokyo.

But coming here, I got it.

You got what?

I wanted to give up comfort.

I wanted this cold weather.

Dressed like Santa? What comfort did you give up?

This winter was quite cold in Tokyo, too.

You're silly.

That kind of thinking stalls your life.

Do you know what seagulls are?

- Seagulls? - Yes.

They are the souls of departed women.

You take a fancy to poetry now?

Isn't life itself a poem?

Seeing your life, no one would believe that.

Rena, your brain can't grasp the world.

You're so silly.

Your heart must grasp the world.

Your heart is pathetic.

Why?

You get pregnant, you abort, you move about...

Isn't your life filled with anguish?

Absolutely, life is all about anguish.

Yuko, look.

Don't you think that girl is odd?

- Where? - Look, over there!

She's quite normal.

She's odd.

Wait, Rena!

Wait! Please, stop!

Rena, quick!

- Stop! What are you doing? - Let me die!

Yuko, push the luggage out of the way!

- I want to die! - Help me pull her over!

What's wrong with you?

Tell us what's going on.

My father raped me.

Eh? No way.

- It's the truth. - Eh?

He raped me! It's the truth!

Is he your real father?

He's my stepfather.

Fine, he's not your real father.

But he's my father.

That's complicated.

Your stepfather is not your own blood.

But a father is a father.

You talk like my grandma.

It's not a matter of generations.

If her mom knew, it would be hell.

My mom died!

Great, then it's all settled.

Still, there's a chance he is my real father.

What?

What do you mean?

Well...

Hey, why don't you tell us in a warm place?

My mom was raped by my father's brother.

I see.

You mean, that rapist could be your father?

There's a possibility.

My father kept raping my mom.

Which one do you mean now?

The both of them.

My mom was a servant in an inn.

And then my mother and father both died.

But your rapist would be the brother?

Right.

Shuji, please stop!

What kind of person was your mom?

She was just a woman.

I get you.

She was as beautiful as the snow.

She lives in the same world as you.

No! Someone, help!

No! No!

No, don't do that!

Please don't!

I hate the snow.

I'd rather die...

before that beast of a father rapes me again.

- Any spectators? - No one came.

See my role, I'm playing a girl that her father raped.

Really?

But here, her real father did it.

I am a symbol for young women.

I understand.

Well, I don't.

Hey Yuko, where were you?

Sakata is upset.

- Well, I was getting ready. - Hurry! Hurry!

- Hurry! Hurry! - Get in there.

Do I look good?

- Good enough. - See you.

Buy a ticket.

I'm a friend.

Buy a ticket.

Ah? No.

The flowers withered.

Their color faded away.

The parrot sings over Mont Fuji.

And now my youth...

is scattered to the winds.

The leaves that the wind takes away...

take on the colors of fire.

Love blooms in our dreams.

Who are you?

Aren't you my...

- father. - Father.

Eros, it is Eros.

Flowing in my veins.

The red waves of an ocean of love.

On the shores of Hokkaido.

Red as the passion of all chained women.

Chained women.

The pain of the chains.

Today, a light snowfall.

Ah, there comes the snow, the snow.

Falling from the pure sky like semen.

But I hate the snow.

One by one, they drop and die.

Everybody parts some day.

Someone is calling.

Is it time to go?

The crimson kimonos disappear one by one.

Just like dreams.

The sorrow.

The sorrow.

Ah, the sorrow.

The dance of sorrow.

Let us see it.

- You like them? - Yes.

More than Mom's?

They're very firm.

Ah, Akiko.

How was it?

I was moved to tears.

Really?

Rena, how about you?

Well, I wasn't that moved.

Because you're a passive spectator.

Can't I just watch?

Theater is for people who share.

Exactly how I felt.

Am I right?

- That's how it is? - Exactly like this.

Uncle...

Could you give me money?

Yes... Yes...

He's here! Mr. Kouji!

Please, Kouji! An autograph!

Please, let me through.

Hey. Rena!

Hey, Akiko!

- What's that? - None of your business.

How do you dare?

What?

Who the hell are you?

What did you do with her?

Bastard!

You bastard!

You bastard!

How much?

A herring and a bottle: 1,200 yen.

Yes, thank you.

Hey, what's the hurry.

We could spend some time together.

Hey, wait! Wait!

A very cheap price...

You're no fun...

This one is so stingy.

Do you think I'm asking for too much?

They're so tightfisted.

When fishing is good, their pockets are full.

Come on, get inside.

What's that?

Do you know what that man did with Akiko?

You can tell her.

You wouldn't do that?

What is it?

Nothing happened, you see?

Why were you sneaking into the shed?

Don't tell me you touched Akiko?

Are you side-hitting on your uncle?

What's the big deal?

Hey, Akiko!

Ah, it hurts.

Rena, may I ask?

What does 'side-hitting' mean?

Come on, silly.

It's when a girl sleeps with her mom's man.

Goodness, this is so gross.

So naughty.

What are you doing?

I earn that way.

You earn?

Akiko is a little tease.

You liar.

She wanted to play.

I said, what do you mean?

You mean that kid forced your hand?

- It hurts. - And then?

She started to smile.

The shed was open.

You did it?

She didn't ask for money.

You had a free ride? You animal!

Then she asked for money: 5,000 yen.

But she's just 14!

She's in middle school!

But she seemed to know what she was doing!

No, wait! Wait.

How do you think I feel? It's horrible.

- Wait, please. - Let him go.

That man, he's just an animal!

She's only 14, and he had her for just 5,000 yen.

You bet.

SELF-STUDY EXERCISES

We could go back together tomorrow.

- Well... - Junpei.

We've just met. I'd hate to part here.

Well...

I'd like to part in Tokyo.

Let's do that.

But Sakakibara may come later.

Then you wait for her.

Hey you, give Midori some attention.

I'm fine, thanks.

She seems to like you.

I'm fine on my own.

- Why did you come? - To ski.

Just to ski?

You silly, can't you see.

What is it?

Oh, he's such a sissy.

Yeah.

Boys and girls come here to meet.

I don't care.

You see...

you're not playing the game.

Ah, I'm falling asleep.

I feel sleepy too.

You should go then.

Yes, I really need to sleep.

- Hey, Junpei! - Leave them alone.

Nope.

Sorry.

Enough now.

But I'm excited.

That's enough now.

I'm past the passionate phase.

I don't care about that.

Yuko, we start early tomorrow.

Idiot.

Rm going to Sapporo.

I may stay over one night.

Great.

Hey-

- You spoke. - What is that?

You spoke to my wife.

About what?

About you and me.

Why would I tell her?

Shizuko wrote it in her suicide note.

Suicide note?

She committed suicide.

She's dead?

Hospitalized.

I don't know who told her.

Her note mentions our affair.

This is mean.

How about your school?

Let's go.

Have a nice day.

- Bye-bye. - Study hard.

Hello, Genichi.

Sakakibara, you came.

You all packed up?

We're going back.

You said you'd stay a week.

Well, something came up.

I told you to call ahead.

I thought I'd surprise you.

- Bye. - Bye.

- I'm going. - Genichi.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Hey. Rena!

The kid.

What happened?

- Your school. - I skipped it.

Alright, you could take a break.

Ouch, that hurts.

Help me.

Heave-ho.

Yeah.

A little more.

Huh?

Is she's gonna die?

Who?

Mr. Harada's...

His wife is in the hospital.

Why do you ask?

I'm the one who told her.

He was even on my sister.

I asked her to keep him at home.

It's alright now.

Is she going to die?

She's not gonna die, I promise.

Let's go.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Hey, Akiko.

You went to Sapporo?

How's the wife?

She only slit her wrists. She's OK.

Ah, I'm so relieved.

Why?

Because Hidetoshi told her.

He said he didn't want...

that man to come over.

Hidetoshi is a good kid.

Yes, he's a good kid.

But my Mom can't get anything right.

Don't say that! The poor thing!

She can't even run an inn.

That's why...

At least Hidetoshi should make it out of here.

Are you leaving?

I can't stand this northern climate.

I understand but...

OK, take care. Bye-bye.

Right.

So cold.

The kid.

I wanted to say goodbye.

You didn't go to school? Why?

I'm going to Hakodate.

- You'll get off next. - I'm going to Tokyo.

You get off. Come!

You can't do that.

Your family is worried.

It's fine.

You're a boy.

A boy can't worry his family.

Thank you for coming today.

You wanna touch?

You want to touch my breasts?

It's OK.

Get off!

Sir, please...

I'd like to join the troupe.

- It's hard. - I'm resolute.

What does life mean to you?

Well, that is...

- You're clueless. - I am.

Life is about will.

About will?

However, a graceful will.

Yes.

Yuko!

Yuko, when did you come back?

Rena, listen to that...

- You wouldn't believe that man. - That man?

Mr. Sakata!

He proposed to me.

He's at least 20 years older.

I couldn't bear the idea.

Can you believe it?

I can't believe what you did.

I went North looking for art...

I see.

...but finding marriage defeated the purpose.

When I had enough, I came back.

I have a new boyfriend. He works in fashion.

You're dressed like my grandma.

How do you like my style?

I let him do petting.

He even says he likes me.

That's great.

You can't be alone forever.

You're right, although...

Yuko, I became a woman in Otaru.

You're kidding me!

I'm sure you were a virgin when you left.

Sex is not the best way to become a woman.

What?

To be liked or loved...

pales in compare to admiration and worship.

To be admired with passion...

that's how one becomes a woman.

It takes refinement.
