Original subtitles

Is this how I'll die?

I'm now staring at myself on the brink of death.

Or should I say...

His name is Kenji.

At that moment, an old girlfriend's words come to mind...

Hey.

Which is longer, the time before birth or the time after death?

Who cares. It's the same.

Either one. They're the same.

But maybe after death is longer.

After dying?

After you die, time doesn't exist.

It's just an unbelievable amount of time.

Who cares about that

Life is a that matters.

After death.

Because you prepare for your next life.

I don't know.

The time before birth.

It's longer.

The world's coming to an end soon.

Probably.

The time after his death

Life goes on nevertheless.

People keep living.

She's living, too.

Her name is Haruka.

She used to go out with Kenji.

Shake it.

Touch your tits.

Your cunt.

Masturbate.

Show me your ass.

Your ass

I want to see your asshole

Spread it.

Are you cumming?

Get me more.

I'm cumming... Can I?

Yeah.

Not yet?

Damn.

Let me.

You want me to lick your ass?

Sorry, I'm exhausted.

That's 10,000 yen.

Just once more. Please.

Again?

Take it all off.

How's this?

Finger in the asshole?

Mine

Yours?

Here we go. Relax.

Twist it around.

Use two fingers.

You can't live without men?

Not without their dicks.

How cute.

Fucking bitch!

Slurping soup like an idiot!

You sleep around for 2000 yen.

You thought your daddy loved you.

But he actually despised you, right?

Why do you.?

You read his diary after he died, didn't you.

He wrote all about his hatred for you and your mom.

What a fake family. A conceited daughter.

"Hell. Let me out," he cried.

Your kind daddy actually hated you.

And you want to erase all that.

Isn't that what you want?

Nice job during the day, whoring at night for a pittance.

Oh, and another thing.

Your ex.

He wasn't much, but anyway he's dead.

Memories of love!

You'll catch cold naked.

Take better care of yourself.

Stop drinking.

And so Haruka died.

Or rather, we should use the future tense.

And so Haruka will die.

You scared me!

Did I?

I cut classes.

It's so boring. I'd rather be in bed with you.

Kenji and Haruka's romance did not last long.

How do we do this?

Can I do it or not? I'm not sure.

The breakup?

Who cares why.

It's not important.

No love stories are eternal.

He didn't know that she later started to whore.

What is she trying to prove?

Why does she do it?

The time she is a live

They who walk above know nothing about the underground.

Each lives regardless of the other.

There are tales beyond her knowledge.

On this day, he died.

But she is still alive. That's a fact.

This tale occurred on the day he died.

At 8 am today, a potent gas was released in the Tokyo tunnels.

Victims of the gas are mounting.

The police reports 909 casualties admitted to hospitals.

Six are reported to be dead.

...an organized terrorist act targeting civilians...

Thanks.

What's that?

Fee better?

Your cold.

It's gone.

So you lied

Are you mad?

Hello.

Trouble?

Off her, then.

Fine good job

I couldn't wait.

Wanted it so bad.

Me too, me too.

You want it?

Yes do.

To the bed

Hello.

It's been 7 years, let's go to their memorial service together.

Do you have someone?

I still have your records.

A lot of stuff I owe.

Who's it?

Wrong number.

Harder?

Yes, harder

Here, bitch!

You're dripping wet!

Say it.

"I'm a dripping wet whore"

More, more.

More?

Feel good?

You bitch!

Happy birthday.

You remembered. Thanks.

That's sweet.

Yeah?

Nice.

It's cute.

Don't answer.

See? It's bent.

Really?

Did you do that?

Try it again?

In the meantime...

You know why like you?

Why?

I like your face.

I'd do anything to look at your face everyday.

You have to stay here. Forever.

Stay with me. Don't go ever.

No. Don't take it till I cum.

Not until I cum.

I swallow your sperm.

I did it

What the hell?

Hey dog.

Lick me, and I'll forgive.

Lick away your sperm.

Now.

First, lick Madame's foot.

Do it now.

Clean my pussy.

Lick up your dirty sperm.

Te me who's your mistress.

Who're you slave to?

Say it.

Speak up, you dumb dog!

Say it!

Who's it?

Who's your mistress?

Speak!

Say it!

Speak up!

It's me!

I own you!

Leaving? Are you leaving again?

The town spits out tales.

Tales of a thousand years.

Tales played out by unknown men and women.

They could have been Haruka and Kenji.

I'm happy but I'm just so busy...

A day goes by so fast.

You never know until you try.

I have my hands tied up just with myself.

No way I can take care of a kid.

It's even better than I expected.

I'll love it here until die.

Seriously?

You just don't know how bad it is in the country.

Tokyo is great.

After Kenji broke up with her...

Haruka would still enter his old flat.

It now smelled of the strangers who moved In after him.

She thinks of him.

Where is he?

Who is he with?

What is he doing?

In Beijing, Tiananmen Square...

Late night, the army resorted to force...

The time neither she nor he knows Late night, the army resorted to force...

The time neither she nor he knows The tanks stormed the Square...

The tanks stormed the Square...

I'm home!

Get some purifying salt.

I know it's ate

No problem, come on in. It's a mess, though.

Sorry to bother you.

Not at a I. We don't mind.

Come sit down.

You're moving out of this great house.

Location was great.

Sort of.

Something weird happened today.

Not again.

When I got home the floor was wet.

And the place stank like pee.

Kidding?

Really?

It was a drag to clean.

Good we're moving out.

Is this OK?

Sure.

No ice. Gotta get some.

Okay, I'll go.

I'll do it. I want some munchies too

We can go together.

Peanuts please.

Not again.

So what.

You, Ayum?

Don't need anything.

See you.

Want me to help?

Nah. Just relax.

I can smell you.

What?

What.

You have Mitchi

She's not here.

Didn't Takashi say he saw Death?

Fuck.

I visited his hospital last week.

He saw Death in his sleep.

A dream!

Sure, it was a dream.

But he asked Death questions.

About his illness. About heaven.

He asked why people had to die.

Death answered Al the questions.

Nice guy.

But Takashi couldn't understand a thing.

He heard the words, but not the meaning

Did he die because of that?

Cut it out.

It's just a dream.

Shall we?

Get out of here.

I'm being polite.

We kissed once, long time ago.

Did we?

You forgot?

So we re fine.

You were a ways pushy

You're wet.

You kissed me so much.

Can I?

I'll get back home right after work.

No problem. I have time on my hands.

Whatever. Just go and come home soon.

Mitchi, sorry.

It's okay. Come visit us in the new flat too.

See you later.

I'll be home soon

I'll take a nap.

What a bum...

Sorry to leave the work to him

Don't worry, it's his holiday.

You're useless anyway.

Gee, thanks.

I forgot my datebook at your house.

I'll wait here

Thanks.

What is this?

And that's how he broke up with her.

Sorry.

No problem.

Join us.

Don't act so naive.

I know about you two last night

Don't be selfish. Share the fun with us!

Take it off.

Undress her.

You should listen to him.

He's...

What?

I'm the god of Death.

Sometimes I arrive a bit early to help you all adjust.

I always dreamed of 3-way.

Go on, girls.

Some more, more.

That's the way.

Awesome! This is awesome.

This is bliss.

Next, you!

Great! Fantastic.

Come on!

Here we go!

A dream come true!

Awesome.

Listen! It's your choice how to live, until you die

Remember this and...

Die!

Cum!

It's your choice how to live, until you die.

Ayumi.

Strange tales of this world.

Haruka used to tell Kenji stories about Death, too.

What kind of stories?

He doesn't remember.

Unforgivable.

It really makes me mad.

To go on and kill like that!

What right does anyone have to do that?

I'm furious at that.

I was on a film set when the news broke.

It was the first time in my life...

I mean, the air was so tense that day.

But later it disappeared like nothing had happened.

At first I just felt dubious about it a I

But as I learned more...

It made me wonder about myself.

Would I have done the same in their shoes?

It could have been me.

Sometimes you don't know how to live your life.

When I was young, we only knew how to throw anger against the world.

In those days...

Revolution and communism were still real options.

That's so similar to how they cornered themselves.

I myself tend to do that and...

I force myself, push myself to the limits.

Once I'm caught up I can't escape myself.

There's no way of knowing the end.

I actually preferred to see heroes defeated

I didn't mind the hero dying.

There' always be a new hero to replace him

Hope...

I guess it's hope.

Too much despair is bad for your health.

After you die.

Time seems longer after you're buried.

But maybe some day God will pick you up and...

You'll be reborn as another person.

What I want to be? A traveler.

I want to sing karaoke under an aurora.

The time after she and he died

The time after she and he died If a new tale were to start after their death,

If a new tale were to start after their death,

She and he might actually be in it.

The past and future are in chaos.

Chaos seems to be tracing their tale.

Shit.

Take the call.

Hello.

Yeah, I caught a cab.

Kenji left a minute ago.

Okay. Sorry bye.

They're in a bar.

You don't think much of me, do you.

That's not true.

I'd fantasized about doing this.

I'm in bad shape

Shit!

I said I'm not great.

Your shirt okay?

I'm fine

You can cum inside me.

Your key?

Sure.

My head's killing me.

He saw a dream.

Who?

My daddy.

What about?

About god of Death.

Death stood by his bedside.

What's this cal ed?

I think I heard this before.

Yeah?

Exactly and you say "Yeah?".

Oh, it's gone.

Forget it.

Sorry, go on.

Dad said he earned from Death

He told mommy and me...

"I don't need you anymore."

"I just want to die and finish it"

He was in a bad mood.

I pretended not to hear and asked...

"Which was the best day of your life?"

"Tell me about that day."

Daddy suddenly got mad.

"I don't want to talk"

"A I want is a way to escape pain"

But as I comforted him, his pain seemed to ease.

He got calmer and started to chat in a better mood.

About what?

It wasn't anything special.

About a primary school reunion.

The school he left after third grade.

About 20 people showed up.

There was a girl he'd had a crush on

He was delighted she remembered him.

I asked him a lot of things.

Daddy talked happily about his memories.

No!

I don't need it!

Are you okay?

Of course he's not.

The job flopped thanks to you.

Put this on.

Put it on!

Now take it off.

Turn around, both hands up.

You can look now.

Was the rabbit better?

Didn't want to see this?

Take a good look.

What a hard-on.

I bet you wanna know who am.

Of course.

I'm Death

Simply, god of Death.

All gods should be respected, you know.

Why I'm here?

I came to take him.

Be thankful.

Most people never get to talk to me.

He won't remember either.

Ah, enough!

Don't be scared.

You'll die anyway.

No...

Don't be scared.

I want to ask you.

Is it my choice how to live until I die?

In that we can't intervene.

Life is like a ship at sea.

We are the final port.

Do you get it?

This is how you'll die.

4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at day.

3-legged at night. What's it?

Look. The stars are so clear tonight

You're right.

Which is longer, the time before birth or the time after death?

Who cares. T's the same.

A dumb answer.

The question's dumb.

Among the stars up there, some have already died away.

But for us, they're still twinkling.

Some are.

From 10 thousand light years away, the stars twinkle

The star Is dead but it still shines

Heroes saving the earth for love and hate

The heroes, we are waiting for them in the dark suburbs

The earth lasts even If I disappear

The world lasts even If you disappear

Lights zipping on the highway, two on a motorbike

We speed In this town, you race here too

Heroes saving the earth for love and peace

We can be heroes, now this moment we can

The light reaches even if stars disappear

The street shines even if you disappear
