Original subtitles

Ready. Start!

This is the image I wanted to see.

It must have existed in a movie, but this is what I wanted to see.

No one will ever see it, but it's here.

Over The Town

Why don't we go there, just the two of us?

Who is it? Do I know?

Who is it? Really, really, really.

-I can't tell you that. -Why not?

Because it'll bother him.

No, what is it? Why are you on his side?

Who is it?

You're persistent.

No, it's your fault!

I can't let you get away with this.

Yeah.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Is that okay?

If I can't forgive you, we have to break up, you know?

Yeah, I want to break up.

You want to break up?

Yeah, I want you to break up with me.

Do you know what you're saying?

I know. I cheated on you. I did all sorts of things.

You can't forgive me and I want to break up.

I don't want to break up.

I want to break up.

I'm not asking how you feel right now.

I'll never break up.

Why? You can't forgive me, right?

What's wrong with you? You're the cheater and now you want to break up.

I'll never break up.

That's fine then.

‪Eh?

I'm going to start tomorrow thinking we're broken up.

I'll get together with him.

Why don't you just pretend you still have a girlfriend?

You can keep saying you're with me. Even after tomorrow.

This is too original.

What?

That's the way you look at that guy, too.

I'm jealous...

What is that?

Go home.

Go home.

Hey?

This one.

Can I try it on?

Go ahead.

Wait a minute.

You can sit there.

Ah ... Thank you

Are you okay?

-How is it? -It looks good.

-Really? -Yes.

-The colors are really nice. -Yeah.

-This is nice, isn't it? -Yeah.

I'll try the other one on.

Are you okay?

I think the previous one is better. How?

Yeah... This one's good, too.

-Really? -Yes.

What do you think?

I'd definitely go with the previous one.

Right?

This is a little out of size.

It's too long.

It's too long.

I think this is better.

‪Eh?

but the clerk said the previous was better.

No, I don't mind either...

Please choose it properly.

Why?

Yeah?

Why do I have to choose your clothes?

You're the one who said it. To choose clothes for me.

I...

I still love you.

Yeah, I know.

Then, you know this is weird.

No. You're the one who's weird.

You're the one who said it. To choose clothes for me.

You said you like me but I don't have a good sense of clothes.

When you meet someone you like and confess,

You'll pick out some clothes for me.

I said but...

I don't want this to go well.

What…

What's that now?

I'm sorry ...

Oh, is this for a confession?

Yes, it is.

-This person ... -Eh?

If his confession goes well, it's your fault.

Hey, stop it. The clerk has nothing to do with this.

He does. He advised you now.

It's just customer service.

It's not advice.

-I hate it. -Eh?

I hate it.

Then let's do this.

I'll confess to Ms. Terada.

If that doesn't work out, let's go out.

You're definitely Number 2 for me.

Terada's number 1, you're number 2. You're my second favorite.

Let me ask Terada first.

She'll reject me anyway.

She has a boyfriend, right?

Fine.

That's fine?

Yes.

I'll take the clothes.

Yes

Please

3000 yen

Thank you.

What?

I hope it goes well.

Yes

It's the exact amount.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, I'm wearing this.

Yes.

I will change my clothes.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Can I have a cigarette?

Oh, no...

‪Eh?

Oh, sorry. I don't have one either...

Ah…

Excuse me. Can I have two cigarettes, please?

Excuse me. It's menthol.

Oh, it's okay. It's okay...

Here you go. Excuse me.

Thank you.

-It's menthol. -Thank you.

Hey.

Don't smoke.

I'm sorry.

Are you doing a play?

No, not at all.

Do you just watch?

No, I don't even watch.

Then, why are you looking at this?

eh?

No, somehow ...

Because it was posted.

Oh.

My niece is doing this kind of thing.

A stage actress.

Is that so?

What do you think?

Isn't it good?

Are you not interested?

No, not at all...

Actually, it doesn't matter.

My niece...

She's not much younger than me.

‪Eh?

She's a stepdaughter now because of some things.

You see, my sister got married to an older man...

And he remarried.

It seems hard.

I love it.

‪Eh?

That niece, I love her.

Do you like your niece?

Yes, I do.

But... We'll never be together.

Well, that's true. You can't get married.

Well, we're third degree.

Third degree?

Third degree of kinship.

You can marry from 4th degree, though. Like cousins.

Is that so?

Cousins ​​can get married under Japanese law.

What about you?

Are you married?

I haven't.

What about girlfriend?

I don't have.

It's so complicated.

No, it's not complicated.

Yeah?

Can I go home?

You can't smoke on the street.

Yes

It's a secret.

Don't tell anyone. About my love.

I won't tell anyone. Who am I supposed to tell?

It's too complicated. I'm not sure I can talk about it.

I'm glad you're not too clever.

Bye.

Hello.

Welcome, it's been a long time.

Long time no see.

Lemon sour.

What are you up to today? Working?

No, I finished my work and watched live at THREE.

Who's live?

I just wandered in.

The most fashionable one.

Not just going for someone, going because you want to.

Hmm...yeah.

Here.

Please give me an ashtray.

Thank you.

Did you get bigger?

Eh? What?

Have you gained weight?

Oh ... making a role.

Making a role?

Didn't you know?

I'm an actor now.

Is that so?

Last time we met,

Aren't you writing a novel?

Haha, that's long ago.

Just last month or so.

I've finished writing that.

-Did you finish it? -Yeah, I finished it.

Finished writing ...

I'm not writing forever.

I thought you were a novelist.

I can't believe you finished it.

I thought you'd be writing all the time.

That's what it is.

‪Eh?

Isn't it too much?

What?

Yeah.

It's like, for writing...

You want me to be in agony all the time, right?

I can't write... I can't write ...

Rolling up my manuscript and throwing it away.

No, it's not like that. I just thought you were a novelist.

You smoke menthol cigarettes, right?

I quit smoking.

What? Why?

Making a role.

I'll get fat if I stop.

The rice tastes delicious?

The rice is always much tastier, though.

Um?

What's with you and Yuki?

‪Eh?

Are you in touch?

No.

Really?

Yes.

I see.

I don't contact her.

Why?

I got a call from her the other day.

To you?

Yes…

Said she's inconvenient to be still contacted by you.

When did that happen?

I can't say when ...

It's time to stop.

You shouldn't do that kind of thing.

Why would she tell you?

That's what I'm mad about.

Isn't it about us?

Don't you think so?

You said you want to get back together, right?

Yes

Don't say that.

Why should I be cheated on and then dumped?

Isn't it weird?

Who is the partner?

You know, right?

‪Eh?

Do you know?

I don't know.

You definitely know!

Whose side are you on?

I'm just a philanthropist.

There it is, not taking responsibility citing philanthropy.

Kimchi Fried Rice.

Okay.

Are you eating again?

I haven't eaten anything yet.

I see.

Yuki

Arakawa

Is it true that you used to do music?

Who told you that?

From the manager.

Mr. Kawanabe?

When?

Before he died.

That's right. He can't tell you if he's dead.

I don't know if we've ever talked about this.

How is it? Did you do it?

-Eh? -Music

I was just playing around with it.

When I was in college, I just did...

Everyone does that.

Are you a band? Single?

I'm alone.

I didn't have any friends.

Did you write songs?

or covers?

Well, I've done some covers. I've written a few songs.

Do you have any recordings?

Well.

Is there a song title you remember?

Forget it.

Please tell me the title.

‪Eh?

Cheesecake...

‪Eh?

So...

The cheesecake song...

It's about the bitterness...

Welcome

What is it?

No, so...

The taste of cheesecake

You know, love that doesn't work.

Welcome

-I'm sorry ... -No, not at all.

I'm sorry.

It will be 500 yen.

Thank you.

-You know... -Yes.

Were you and Mr. Kawanabe having an affair?

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

This is Kawanabe.

I'm not here at the moment.

After the beeping sound, Please speak within 5 minutes.

Go ahead.

Hello, this is Arakawa.

I really apologize for earlier.

About me doing music,

When you asked me, I felt relaxed.

For me, that's...

Is it as much as an affair or a secret?

Sensitive?

I heard Wim Wenders always comes to this restaurant when he comes to Japan.

Seriously?

What has he shot lately?

I don't know.

Don't know. -Yeah.

What do you like best from Wenders?

Eh...Berlin (T/N: Wings of Desire-1987)

Oh yeah.

They're remastering it. -Yes.

Well, I didn't really understand it.

-Really? -Yes.

Then, what do you like?

I like The American Friend (1977).

The American Friend?

Yeah, The American Friend.

-I don't know, -Really?

You should definitely see it.

-Seriously? -I recommend it.

I'm sure you'll like it.

Suspense.

-Suspense? -Yes.

Watch it, watch it.

It's recommended.

Excuse me.

Um, around here.

Is there any place from this manga?

-What manga is this? -This one.

Nananan Kiriko.

It's almost Shimokitazawa.

-Really? -Yes.

The stairs in front of the station have changed, right?

I heard there used to be stairs at the south exit.

Ah, this isn't Shimokitazawa.

-Eh? -Shinjuku.

-Shinjuku? -Yes.

Isn't this Shimokitazawa?

That's the JR Shinjuku station.

Embarrassing...

Oh, I see.

Can I see it?

Thank you.

Oh, this shop.

You can find it in the back.

-Really? -Yes.

I'm about to finish my work. I'll show you around if you like.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Really?

-No way. After work? -I live close by.

Do you live in Shimokitazawa?

No.

But it's close.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

See you.

Culture is amazing.

Culture?

That..culture?

Creation?

You know, manga, movies...

And... novels and music. Photos?

Oh, no, not photos.

It's a little too direct.

What's so great about it?

They will remain.

Sometimes I think it's more amazing than the town.

The town keeps changing. Stores, Scenery...

Isn't the town amazing too?

Yeah.

I don't really understand.

Even if it's changed, even if it's gone. There's a fact that it was there.

Yeah, well...

Mr. Kawanabe is dead, right? The used bookstore owner.

Oh yes.

The day before he died, he came here.

‪Eh?

Around noon.

It was full at that time.

Yeah.

I said "I'm sorry, please come again."

When I said it...

He said "Yes, I'll come again"

It's totally irrelevant, of course.

It's totally irrelevant but...

I'm thinking whether he'd be still alive if he had eaten here...

What would he eat?

Yeah?

If it wasn't full, what would he eat?

I wonder...

I don't know because I'm not him.

He was always drunk from noon.

He always say "No money!"

"If I could just sleep and get paid. I'd sleep all the time."

He's dead.

He's sleeping forever.

He don't get any money, but he's sleeping forever.

-Pals. -Eh?

The young kids.

Talking about Wenders, right?

-The movie kids? -Yes.

They said Amerika no Tomodachi (Friend) (T/N: JP Title of The American Friend)

The actual title is Amerika no Yuujin (Pal).

Not "friend" but "pal".

What's the difference?

Um?

"friend" and "pal"

Aren't they the same?

Yeah.

Amazing, it's real.

Here, you see?

This is gone.

You're right. It's changed.

Do you want to take a picture?

Oh, then, please. I'm sorry. It's so sudden.

-One two... -Yes

Cheese.

A little more...

Ah, yes.

Cheese.

One more.

Cheese.

Hello.

Yes.

I'm Takahashi Machiko.

Yes

I'm attending art school now and making a movie there.

Now in Year 4.

I'm planning to make a movie this summer.

Costume rental?

No.

-Other thing? -Yes.

I'd like you to be in my film.

Appearance?

Yes.

Me?

Yes.

I've been to this store often.

I've always seen you reading a book.

I really wanted to ask you.

But...

I'm so nervous.

I'm too stupid to remember my lines.

You don't really have any lines.

If you could just read at a cafe as usual.

That's all I need.

What should I do?

This is the script.

Please read it if you don't mind.

Yes.

My contact is also inside.

I'll wait for a good response.

I'm sorry to bother while you're busy.

I didn't mean to be sarcastic.

I mean "while you're busy reading".

So what are you going to do?

I was wondering what to do.

Why don't you help her?

I'm going to be in a movie.

Yes.

If I'm in this movie,

There's a possibility of me destroying it.

I'm really stiff.

Hey.

Arakawa,

It isn't a matter of acting in the film.

‪Eh?

That's already a confession.

Confession?

It's a female director.

She often come to the store.

She's telling you to be in her movie, right?

Yes

This is a confession.

All the more reason to say no.

You're an idiot.

Such an idiot.

You drank too much.

-Arakawa -Yes.

Do you know what it means to say no?

That means making a woman cry.

Think about it.

Yes.

I feel sick.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Did something happen?

You talked about it the other day.

Gaining weight for the role.

He said that.

Yes, that.

I heard it's gone.

Eh?

This afternoon... He got a call from the producer.

Said "I'm sorry, but... I hired someone else."

Why?

I don't know the details.

A former Sumo? He got the role.

What's that?

I think he wanted a sumo wrestler role.

Seems so.

But it's terrible.

He went through all the trouble, didn't he?

Well, that's him.

He might've misunderstood something.

He thought he'll be chosen at the nomination stage.

Even so, he's actually fat.

I guess it's not for amateurs.

‪Eh?

Acting.

It's a graduation project, right?

Yes.

Why don't you help her?

It could be a confession, too.

Hey!

Are you okay?

‪Eh?

I want to die.

Hello.

What is it?

Did you get my voicemail? From the store.

I didn't get it.

You didn't.

What is it?

I'm sorry I asked you a weird question yesterday.

Hello, this is Arakawa.

I really apologize for earlier.

About me doing music,

When you asked me, I felt relaxed.

For me, that's...

Is it as much as an affair or a secret?

Sensitive?

That’s why, it's not as revenge but...

I asked about Mr. Kawanabe with a light heart.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

It's fine now.

I'm sorry, too.

It's okay.

I'd like to ask you a favor.

What is it?

Do you have free time in the evening? After the store?

Huh?

Do you want to take a closer shot?

Eh?

Yeah.

No, it's something...

What is it?

No.

I can't get it into my head at all.

Why?

I'm nervous.

Why did you wear a jacket today?

‪Eh?

You were told "as usual", right?

Yeah.

Is it weird?

Weird?

Switch with me.

‪Eh?

How is it?

You're reading a book.

What's that? Just that?

Have you read all this?

You bought it yesterday, right?

Not yet.

Did you read it?

I wanted to read it, but I didn't.

It's obvious that Mr. Kawanabe didn't have a wife. I feel sorry for Ms. Tanabe.

The girl who loved you like crazy and dumped. -Suzuki Saeko

What does it mean?

If I wasn't married,

would you still go out with me?, he asked.

Said "Even if I wasn't married. Are you attracted to me?"

He asked when he was alive.

‪Eh?

All I like are that type of guys.

I'm only attracted to those who are married.

I see.

He's an idiot.

That must've been hard...

This is Kawanabe.

I'm not here at the moment.

After the beeping sound, Please speak within 5 minutes.

Go ahead.

I always wonder.

More than any filming, moving sets is more cinematic.

I don't think I've ever gotten a better picture.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Tell Iha Mr. Arakawa's here.

Here, take this.

The waiting room is just a few steps away.

Yes

Here.

Go to the last room.

Please wait here.

Yes.

I’m Gonzo Washida.

Eagles, rice paddies.

Arakawa Ao

Blue's Ao.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Excuse me.

Do you often appear in movies?

‪Eh?

Ah nothing.

Well.

About 10 movies a year.

You're quite active.

‪Eh?

You're quite active.

Do you want a drink?

I didn't say that.

But you're good, even though you're young.

‪Eh?

You're in asadora, right?

I can't believe I'm going to be with someone like that.

Me?

Yeah.

I heard that I can act with an actor from asadora.

I'm glad I came.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Give this young man a drink?

It's okay.

I'm sorry I didn't notice.

It doesn't matter at all.

-Okay? -Yes.

This might fit you.

Please change your clothes over there.

Yes

There are socks too.

You can use your own shoes.

I heard that from the director.

I'll just wear my sneakers...

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes

Excuse me.

‪Eh?

Excuse me

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's Yumi Nakagawa. I look forward to working with you.

Arakawa Ao.

Excuse me.

Can I change my clothes?

I was told to change my clothes.

Excuse me.

Good morning.

I'm Takeshi Mamiya.

It's Yumi Nakagawa. I look forward to working with you.

Good morning, it's Arakawa Ao.

Mamiya.

I look forward to working with you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're in asadora, right?

‪Eh?

Yes.

Oh, I knew it.

You can do this kind of thing.

-This kind? -Student movies.

Well, if schedule is free and the script is interesting.

I don't care the movie is big or small.

So cool.

My ex

My ex is a fan of you.

Oh, really? I'm glad. Please give her my regards.

Yes.

But I think you can't tell?

That ... your ex.

I can tell her, but I don't get a reply.

Then, you shouldn't tell.

Right?

Do you still love her?

Well yeah.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Can fix the makeup?

Yes.

Fine.

Then, I'll film.

Yes

Filming!

13-1-1

Ready, start!

Cut!

OK!

Mr. Mamiya, that's all for today.

Good job.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's start shooting Mr. Arakawa next.

Yes

Mr. Arakawa, please.

Please wait a moment.

It's amazing.

Yes.

Then, here we go.

Filming!

18-1-1

Ready, start!

Cut!

Once more.

Can you relax?

You can think of this as a thrift store.

Yes.

Then.

After checking, we go again.

Okay.

Then, we'll film.

Yes, please.

Filming!

18-1-8

Ready, start!

18-1-13

Ready, start!

Cut!

OK!

Eh ... oh ... OK!

OK.

Excuse me.

That's all.

Good job.

Thank you.

I will also take Negishi version.

Yes!

Negishi version.

Close the zipper.

Book.

I will borrow this.

I will borrow this.

-Filming -Yes.

-Filming -Yes.

18-1-1

Filming!

Ready, start!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Was it okay? I'm nervous.

Oh well.

You don't have to use it.

Really?

Thank goodness... I'm probably not going to use it.

I'm here to tell you that.

‪Eh?

I'm sorry I cast you.

I see.

But if that was the case,

You can decide after watching the cuts.

You don't have to decide now.

‪Eh?

I'm okay either way.

Even after checking the footage,

I did.

Eh?

I checked.

Already?

‪Eh?

It's already checked and not using.

Yes, done.

Done.

But when I edit,

I will think about it again.

Thank you.

Eh?

Costume.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Bye.

It's holiday tomorrow.

We're off from shooting.

We're going out for a drink. Want to go?

Yes.

Training camp... But it's only two weeks.

Since it can be taken, I think it's pretty useful.

I like that about Takahashi.

I don't think it's good as a director.

What do you mean by that? Be specific.

You get pissed off easily.

Of course I will.

I can understand if you think you can't do it.

It's natural to get upset when other denies what you're convinced of.

That's why your level is low.

I'm telling you to be specific.

Stop it.

You just think it's an indie or a student film.

Didn't I say that before?

If Kazuyoshi Kumakiri makes a movie with 2 men and 1 woman,

I think if he's trying to make something better than Truffaut.

He did it with his own film students.

We've done this before, right?

Is that it?

I never thought my movies are any worse than most movies out there.

Then, why didn't you ask Keita to do it?

What?

You should've asked Keita to play that role from the start.

I don't know why you asked the thrift store guy.

Hey, he can hear you.

I thought it would be great.

Why? He's never acted before.

Yeah.

Don't be like that.

I mean, how do you feel about Keita?

It doesn't matter now.

It does.

You brought an old man who looks like Keita.

And finally, made me do it.

I still like you.

You know, right?

What do you think of that?

I'm sorry about that.

Don't apologize...

Let's drink.

Let's drink.

Toilet.

Those two.

They date and break up so many times.

Eh? I see.

Yeah.

Good job.

Good job.

Excuse me.

What do you drink?

I'll have the same one...

Two bottles of sake, cold.

I mean the same as this...

I'm sorry. Not the same one as mine?

It's fine.

Can you drink sake?

Yes, anything.

Is that your type?

Eh, director?

I don't know...

But she seems popular.

Seems popular?

I'm Iha.

‪Eh?

Jojo Iha

Jojo Iha?

Same with director Hideo Jojo.

Arakawa Ao

I know.

2 sakes!

Thank you.

Do you do this kind of thing often?

Not at all.

I tried to say no at first. I could never do it.

You're right. You couldn't do it at all.

You're really stiff.

Who's up for a second round?

Yes! Let's go...

I'm going home.

You don't like that kind of place?

Well, I'm completely away from those.

Away

Don't you have to go?

-Um? -Second round.

I'm away too.

Is that so?

Do you still have time? Need to wake up early tomorrow?

No, not too early.

Then, would you mind hanging out with me?

-Eh? -Home.

This is waiting room ...

It's my house.

Isn't it spacious?

Well, there's a lot going on.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

Would you still prefer to drink?

Well, either way.

Tea, then.

I need your help with something.

What is it?

Can you hold that cloth with me?

Yes.

I want to see how big it is when it unfolds.

Yes.

Tea, be careful.

It's fine, since it's actually tea.

Actually on tea?

What kind of cloth is this?

I'm using it for a photoshoot the day after tomorrow.

Seems okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Mamiya was cool.

Um?

Mr. Mamiya. Asadora actor.

Ah.

He seems not getting along with his girlfriend.

‪Eh?

I heard from hair/ makeup girls.

-I see. -Yeah.

I'm surprised.

No matter how many fans you have...

You might not get along with just one lover.

That's another matter.

It's like that.

What?

‪Eh?

I'll listen to your love story.

It's fine.

My ex is called Yuki.

-Yuki? -Yes.

Cute.

Thank you.

Yuki is my first girlfriend.

I've never had experience.

And the first time it happened...

I couldn't get it to work.

She said, "You should watch more porn and study."

What's with that... Is it from the top?

-From the top? -Yeah.

From the top...

I also don't know.

Did you study?

Yeah.

I studied.

We talked. How that day was my 27th birthday.

How I rented a porno and watched it, the next day.

How I didn't find the women in it attractive.

How the clerk standing at the porn rental counter was a woman.

How renting was the most exciting moment.

How I thought I couldn't go on and went to a sex shop for the first time.

How I felt guilty to Yuki.

How I told the sex worker that I was a virgin and was told "Let's stop".

How I returned without doing anything.

How that woman told me, "There are still people like you."

How that woman's hair was all sprayed.

How that woman took a shower together with me

and never got her hair wet.

How it made me imagine her doing with the next man right away.

How I happened to come across her at a Shimokitazawa ramen shop one night.

How it was very awkward.

How she smiled when our eyes met,

and I was a little happy.

How I got to know Yuki.

What kind of person she was,

How she cheated on me and then dumped me.

I don't know why I told Iha.

I was able to talk honestly.

But that might be it.

Maybe

I might also be attracted to that sex worker.

I was just thinking about it.

We were talking about her instead of Yuki.

Yeah.

Unexpected.

What is it?

You seem like you've had a lot of girlfriends.

-Yeah? -Yes

I'm glad to hear you say so.

What about you?

Hmm?

You don't have?

I don't have.

I see.

I'll listen to your love story.

No, don't ask.

Why?

‪Eh?

Well... let's talk then.

I've been with 3 people.

Well, I don't want to talk about my first boyfriend.

-What? Why? -Let it be.

Can we talk about the second one?

Yes

I still like him.

Isn't that weird? Then, who's the third person?

I don't like him that much.

But you guys dated?

Yes…

Eh? What?

There are times like that. Is it bad?

I don't know

If you don't like him, don't date him.

It's not that clean-cut.

‪Eh?

I can't control loneliness that well.

I see.

And the second one is...

Yes

Eh, you're not following?

Following but I don't know.

Is it serious?

No No.

Let's see...

Sekitori

-Sekitori? -Yeah, sumo.

Familiar with sumo?

I don't know. A famous person?

Yeah, Juryo division now.

Do you know Juryo?

I don't know.

Is he still doing it?

Yeah, if he tries a little harder, he'll be in the Makuuchi.

Do you know Makuuchi?

I don't know.

Yokozuna

Ozeki

Komusubi

-No, no... -Eh?

Yokozuna, Ozeki, Sekiwake, Komusubi, Maegashira

The top is Makuuchi.

And there is Juryo under it.

So, if you're a Juryo and you win. Or if you do well...

Can go up to Makuuchi.

You really know your stuff.

This is general knowledge.

Is that so?

How do you know each other?

‪Eh?

Where do you meet people like that?

We've known each other since childhood.

I see.

That pattern.

After all, is that it?

What?

After all ...

Because he's heavy...

You are on top?

What?

What are you saying?

Erotic...

No, no, no...

I just want to know.

Not for eroticism, but for knowledge.

Do you need it? That knowledge.

I need it.

There's no knowledge you don't need.

All of a sudden.

So, what is it?

I won't tell you.

Why? Tell me.

Why don't you go out with him?

How?

How am I supposed to hook up with a sumo?

It doesn't have to be a sumo.

Why don't you try it with a woman as big as a sumo?

You don't find many women like that.

There is.

Where?

There're diet programs, right?

"I want to lose weight by summer.", that places...

Esthetics, gyms, magazines, etc.

Yeah?

There.

Well yeah ...

Eh?

Why does it look like I'm talking nonsense?

It was just a nonsense.

Terrible... I'm sorry...

Terrible ...

Eh?

I didn't do it...

‪Eh?

We broke up without doing that.

Yeah

I see.

Was it short?

How long you dated?

All we did was kiss.

I see.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

I just thought I asked something unnecessary.

Oh?

I thought I made the same mistake before.

Like saying unnecessary things.

I see.

But I don't mind. Don't worry about it.

Yes.

But you liked him.

Yes…

He was kind.

Yeah

What?

Nothing.

Why do men and women...

The same sex too.

If you don't date them or like them...

You can talk about anything like this

Yes

But when I think of you as the opposite sex.

When I get jealous...

It gets boring even for things you've always thought as fun.

Certainly.

I wonder if it's possible to keep this kind of distance.

Yeah...

It's not like I want to be in a relationship.

Yes.

But if I don't feel jealousy or anything like that anymore...

I think it's boring.

It's just some kind of evidence.

Yes.

Jealousy is one definitive proof that I like her.

Well...

It's ambiguous. You know, feelings like "love".

Yes.

I don't think we should be together.

‪Eh?

Because it's like this, without jealousy.

Isn't it weird to be able to talk about our exes?

But we don't have a relationship yet to be jealous.

Well yeah.

Is it common to go to a woman's house...

on the day meeting her for the first time?

This is my first time.

Is it?

That's why I was so scared.

-Are you scared? -Yeah, it's scary.

-Really? -Yes.

What about you?

Does this happen to you often?

Why are you calling me "Jojo-san" suddenly?

See!

See, that's what I'm talking about.

Something's broken.

Sorry.

Because it's cute.

Huh?

Sorry, that was intentional.

It's so bad... it's all broken.

You're so bad.

Do you want some tea?

No, I'm fine.

Ok.

Friends...

Hmm?

Maybe you should be my friend. I don't have any friends.

I'd love to.

Then, please.

You want it?

Yeah, I want.

Thank you.

I can't break up.

I'll never break up with you.

But I still...

I'm an ordinary person. You're a celebrity.

What the hell is that?

Isn't that something you knew before date?

Before ordinary people or celebrity.

We're the same human being.

-Is it the same? -It's the same.

Then what? If I wasn't an actor...

You mean we could've continued without breaking up?

I don't know about that.

It might not be possible too.

Why?

Okay, say it.

I want to know how you really feel.

I'll tell you the truth.

Say it.

It's not fun.

‪Eh?

I don't enjoy being with you.

Why?

I'm being too careful.

There's something wrong with the balance.

Oh, no...

That's just how you are.

Why don't you just relax?

I want to break up because I can't do that.

It's hard for me to be with you.

Sorry…

Eh... do you like me?

I like you. That's why it's so hard.

Then stay with me.

Sorry…

Then, who is the third one?

I don't have anything to say.

I see.

I guess I'm practically alone.

What?

You were dating but...

If there is such a thing as you date but don't want to talk to,

I just thought that I might've been one of those guys for Yuki.

Should I talk? The third one.

No, you don't have to talk about it.

He's a bit of a pain in the ass.

-A pain in the ass? -Yeah.

I feel like he's controlling me.

I told him I wanted to break up.

He asked if I've met someone I like.

He wouldn't break up with me unless I got a new boyfriend.

I'm not going to accept it.

I don't really like anyone. I don't even have a new boyfriend.

But if I say I have a boyfriend, it's two-timing, right?

Yes

So, I said I have a potential boyfriend.

Yeah?

Then, he asked me to let him meet the boyfriend.

I can't let him see because I don't have.

I don't care if I live with him but...

He comes here a lot. He took a duplicate key.

Yes

When I ask for it back... He won't give it back.

Is that so?

He can come suddenly now?

Possible.

Am I okay to stay here?

Certainly.

Don't say that!

But it's okay.

I think he's not coming this late at night.

He's never come without calling.

I see.

Sleepy?

I should go home.

Are you going home?

Because that guy might come?

It doesn't matter.

Well, do what you want.

I'll stay here then.

You're staying.

Welcome.

You can use the shower if you want.

I'll use it in the morning.

Yes

I'm going to bed.

I'll be in the other room.

Good night.

Don't leave bath towels and towelettes.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

Goodnight.

Is it long?

Hmm?

Have you lived in Shimokitazawa long?

Since I entered university. So about 4 years?

Hmm

About you just said. What is long and short?

‪Eh?

Concept of time is the most irrelevant thing.

I might die tomorrow.

I guess.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I found out when I went out with you.

I realized how comfortable with my ex.

But doesn't that mean you don't like him?

Maybe so.

Still, it was more fun.

It's too late.

Look at me.

Yeah?

Just look at me.

I want to see him.

You can't do that.

I'm kidding.

Lemon Sour.

Good Morning

Good Morning

You're alive.

Yes.

Hello.

Thank you.

Yes

I'm going to convenience store. I'll walk you there.

Wait a minute.

Yes.

Why are you so sleepy?

The weather is so good.

What do you think?

Because of this weather.

Do you know them?

Yeah, well...

Ah

Good morning. Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Good Morning.

-Yuki? -Yes.

Is Master that you were having an affair with?

How can that be?

She's only been drinking at mine until morning.

How can that be? What time is it?

What's with you?

You wanted to get back together so badly but you have a girlfriend now.

She's not my girlfriend! I just met her yesterday.

Is that so?

Yes, I just met him yesterday. He stayed at my place.

You don't have to say anything extra.

But there's really nothing here.

Yes, nothing.

I didn't ask. It doesn't matter.

Master... You're really dirty.

How come?

I had been asking him until now.

That's impossible.

I told you it's not. Listen to me once.

I'm listening. Yes, what is it?

Yuki

No, thank you.

I think you should tell him.

He still loves you.

‪Eh?

He was talking about you all night yesterday.

He still loves you. He can't forget you.

It's none of your business.

It's none of my business, but...

-You see... -What is it?

Why don't you talk to him honestly?

I…

I was beaten once when I was dating Ao.

-Seriously? -Only once.

Really?

No, no, no... That's misleading.

You hit me first.

Then, you hit me back.

What's that? So why am I wrong?

It's funny.

It's terrible to put your hands on a woman.

Eh, my fault?

You suck.

That's ridiculous.

Yuki, that's not right!

Why not?

We need to talk about this before there's a second victim, right?

No, it's not like that.

Here.

Eh?

I couldn't make Iha happy.

Please make her happy.

Boyfriend-san.

Bye.

Hey!

You're boyfriend after all.

No, I'm not.

He's the boyfriend.

Yeah, in front of him.

In front of him? What do you mean?

I'm not actually the boyfriend.

I'm the boyfriend. After all, it's the boyfriend.

Which one?

I'm the boyfriend.

I'm the boyfriend!

I'm sorry, which one is it?

Master, shut up for once. You can't be serious, can you?

It's weirder to say that

you're the boyfriend or not, in front of your girlfriend.

I'm not as weird as you.

Ao, you don't understand at all.

I'm not the one with Yuki.

Who is it then!

I can't tell you that.

Because it'll bother him.

What is it? What is it to bother him?

Isn't it the boyfriend?

Can you shut up for once?

If you're not the boyfriend, Why were you at her house?

No, really, shut up. I'm the boyfriend.

Yuki is trying to get back together with you.

What's that? What are you talking about?

-Is that so? -No, of course not.

Are you sure?

I think you should be honest.

I don't have to tell him.

Do you want to start over too?

Don't call me "Yuki" so casually.

What do you mean?

Who the hell are you?

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

Do you want to start over with me?

‪Eh?

Please stop.

Excuse me, can I check the bicycle?

Excuse me.

Thefts are on the rise.

The number of idiots increases because it's hot.

Are you an actress?

‪Eh?

Because you're beautiful.

Are you an actress?

No.

You know, my niece is an actress.

A stage actress.

What do you think?

Oh, you're not interested?

It doesn't really matter.

My niece is not much younger than me.

She's a stepdaughter now because of some things.

You see, my sister got married to an older man...

And he remarried.

That niece, I love her.

I love my niece.

But... We'll never be together.

We can't get married. We're 3rd degree.

But I'm thinking of confessing my love to her.

I know it's no use.

If I don't say it, I can't move on.

What do you think?

This is not mine.

‪Eh?

This is not my bicycle.

Isn't that yours?

Yes, it's an acquaintance's.

Acquaintance's?

Really?

May I ask the name?

I don't know.

Don't know?

It's a bicycle from someone I know who I don't know the name.

I just got to know.

‪Eh?

Thank you, officer.

I'll tell him how I feel!

Eh?

Hello, Where are you?

Even if we had tapes... We don't have a demo.

Why?

Why is Mr. Mamiya here?

Is this your ex?

Yes.

Not Master, it's Mamiya.

Partner

But I've already been dumped.

Did she dump you?

Yuki did?

She said it's not fun being with me.

Thank you for seeing me.

Goodbye.

-Really? -Yeah?

Are you sure? You're such a fan!

You should go after him! It's great, right?

Takeshi Mamiya!

Idiot!

‪Eh?

You're really stupid.

I love you.

Thank you.

I'm Machiko Takahashi, who directed the movie "SLEEP IN READING".

Good job.

Thank you. Will you go?

Launch? I'm going. I'll see you later.

Thank you.

Good job.

See you.

Bye.

-Going? -Of course.

-Will you come? -Yes.

See you later.

It was amazing.

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you.

See you later.

-It was fun. -Thank you.

It's good.

Dir. Machiko Takahashi?

Yes

Why did you cut all of Mr. Arakawa's scenes?

Mr. Arakawa?

Oh, the thrift store?

Did you just forget about him?

I remember.

I told him I'd cut it.

He's practiced really hard.

Why did you cut it?

Practice?

I was called by him.

He asked me to take a video of him reading book.

And he watched it over and over again...

Excuse me. Who are you?

Please answer my question first.

Well, to make the movie better.

While editing the movie.

I thought his performance is wrong or unnecessary.

So does that mean that no one can see...

the performance that he did?

Right.

That's denial of existence!

But that's what movies are.

What are you to him?

I'm just an acquaintance.

Girlfriend?

No.

Do you like him?

What if I like him?

No, not really.

People who are not related arguing things that he agreed with...

I just thought he wouldn't like it.

So maybe you like him...

I don't know if he's convinced or not.

Hey, can you help me?

What is it?

I don't understand.

Do you remember Mr.Arakawa? That thrift store guy?

Yes

She asks why his scene is missing.

Why is there no scene with him?

Is everything cut out?

He was bad.

‪Eh?

He was bad so the director retook on the spot with another person

Bad?

Yes, he was really stiff.

Well, he'd be cut, right?

He's still in love with Yuki, right?

Oh, yes...

How do you know that?

He's my friend.

‪Eh?

Friend.

Welcome

I heard Mr. Gosaru come here often.

That's right.

Will he come today?

I think so.

Do you know him?

Yeah.

What would you have?

Oolong tea

Please remove the ice.

Ice? Yes.

Oolong tea.

I think I owe him an apology.

‪Eh?

I didn't know.

Things with Mr. Gosaru.

The filming?

It's like he was fighting for the role.

Right?

No?

I'm sorry

Welcome.

You didn't come today.

Oh, so it was today.

I can't go.

Right.

Yes.

Was it all cut?

No, you were there.

-Really? -Yes.

Really ...

Please let me know next time you have a screening..

Okay.

We're having a launch now.

The unveiling screening.

Is that so?

Is it okay?

Hmm?

Oh, you're here.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

I bought a beer. Would you like some?

I'll take it later.

Oh... come here.

What?

What kind of cake?

No, that time...

Eh!

Why did you keep it?

I don't know why.

Because it's a waste?

Open it up.

What if it's really rotten?

I'm scared.

-Let's open it up... -Yeah.

Hmm?

Surprising.

Yeah.

I think we can still eat.

I don't think we should.

Are you serious?

Seriously?

Don't do that.

Try it.

I'm good.

I'm good.

Chocolate goes bad too, right?

It doesn't go bad.

It will.

It's better than cake.

Is it better than cake?

Try it.

Are you serious?

It tastes strange.
