[gasps]

[gasps, screaming]

[laughing]

[Reina] I have a little secret.

[indistinct chatter]

[Reina] In my second year of high school...

my classmates bullied me.

Then one day...

I had a fateful encounter.

Hello, my name is Selena.

[Selena talking]

You can be whomever you want.

[Reina] I devoted myself to finding the makeover that best suited me.

My hard efforts paid off and I reinvented myself.

- She's gorgeous! - Are you a celebrity?

How do you do?

I'm Reina Tanikawa.

I changed schools, met "The Ice Prince..."

And a boy they called "The Scion."

[students screaming, laughing]

[Reina] They became central to my life.

We looked out for one another, saved each other.

I felt myself slowly becoming the person I always wanted to be.

But then

the Ice Prince left for America, tearing us apart.

I'll keep on smiling.

So go and don't worry.

Thanks.

[Reina] Little did I know our story...

had many more chapters to come.

[upbeat music playing]

- [song ends] - [crowd cheering]

Thanks for coming!

Let's keep going!

[crowd cheering]

[upbeat music playing]

[crowd cheering]

- This way. - [girl] It's him!

- [guard 1] Stand back! - [guard 2] No pushing!

[crowd cheering, clamoring]

[fan 1 yelling]

[fan 2 yelling]

- Listen up! - [cheering stops]

I got myself a girl.

[crowd cheering]

Huh?

"Seito University"

- [girl 1] Look, there she is! - [girl 2] So cute!

[indistinct chatter]

[onlookers chattering]

[student murmuring]

[students chattering]

[indistinct chatter continues]

- It's really her! - At our campus!

[girl] Third year Lit major.

[boy] Real-life goddess.

[indistinct chatter continues]

I got myself a girl.

[crowd cheers]

[Airi] Two million views?

[Miho] Reina, you're famous.

Since when are you an item?

It's not what you think.

Sure it isn't.

We want the details.

You know Kijima in my seminar class?

Yeah, the stalker.

Yusei Kijima? Who wants to find out where you live?

Gross.

I told Yu about him.

What? That's stalking.

He always waits outside of class.

You do attract the creepy types.

I'm serious. He's scary.

Tell him you have a boyfriend.

Me.

- [band mate] Good show. - [Yu] Thanks.

[overlapping chatter]

I can't possibly say that.

- Why not? - You're a rock star.

Well, "rock stars" have similar problems.

"Yu, right? Marry me!"

[Reina] "Marry me?" How?

Found my real account.

- It's tough being famous. - Mm.

- So this is perfect. - Hm?

If we say we're dating, you repel your stalker.

And I can discourage crazy stalker fans.

- Hm? - Right? Let's go.

Repelling a stalker is fine. But all of Japan knows.

Uh-huh. I didn't expect this reaction.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Airi.

I thought you said Kijima wasn't coming.

[girl] Everyone in the Furuta Seminar?

Cheers!

- [all] Cheers! - [glasses clinking]

- Drink up, Reina. - Go, Goddess.

I really can't drink.

[boy] Don't hold out on us.

- [cheering] - No, I'm serious. I get sick.

Don't get her drunk.

- [boy] You okay, Reina? - Okay!

[boy] Did you drink?

I'll see ya.

[indistinct chatter]

I'll see you home.

Thanks, but I'll be fine.

I insist. Follow me.

No, really, I can make it home myself.

Really? You're staggering.

[cheers]

The bill is settled!

- Thanks! - That was fun.

Where's Reina?

Went home.

Where's Kijima?

[indistinct chatter]

[both] Oh, my God!

Look, I'm really all right. You don't have to do this.

- You can barely walk. - No, I'll be fine.

I'll take you. Come along.

- Kijima, please. I've gotta go. - [chuckles]

- It's okay. - I'm fine.

- [Reina] I need to go. - Come on.

Let her go.

Yu?

[rock music playing]

[girls shrieking, giggling]

Yu of NO TIME, right?

- In the flesh! - [shrieks, giggles]

[girl] So cool.

- Hey. - That's cold.

Thanks.

Don't cause your boyfriend trouble.

[chuckles] I'm not.

And you're not my boyfriend.

You said you wouldn't drink.

All I had tonight was one sip of beer.

[laughs] For you, that's more than enough.

Mm.

- Why? - Hm?

Why are you here, Yu?

Airi called and told me to get here.

[yelps]

- [retches] - Don't vomit.

What'll you do with that video clip?

What do you mean?

It's lying to the public.

Huh?

It doesn't have to be a lie.

Huh?

Truth is...

I do want us to be an item.

- What? - I'm serious.

I'm not sure right now...

Take your time.

Think it over.

He's no longer here.

True Beauty: The Movie Part 2

[sighs]

The problem is...

you don't know the real me, Yu.

Mr. Shige.

Suspicious person.

Look who's talking.

This is Japan's "fishiest" shop.

[Mr. Shige] I'm pursuing my hobby.

Over-pursuing, I'd say.

What's the news?

[sighs]

College isn't as dreamy as I thought.

Honestly, I feel lost at sea.

Wasn't beauty school fun?

Yeah, but it turned out too expensive.

[Mr. Shige] Mm.

- My folks said to focus on college. - Mm.

I feel like I'm drifting off course.

Then I have two bits of news for a troubled co-ed.

- Huh? - This just arrived.

[gasps]

Jack Brighton's latest "Rotation of Ants 2"!

- The first was a classic. - Mm.

It's only a U.S. release.

[Shun] It was amazingly good.

News number two.

Shun?

How are you?

You haven't changed.

[light music playing]

[both] Listen...

How've you been?

Good. You?

[Reina] I'm good.

- Los Angeles is warm, right? - [Shun] Mm.

Yeah, it suited my mom.

My mom passed away six months ago.

But how do I put it? It all turned out okay.

We were a family again, the three of us.

That's good.

Mom got treated at a hospital near our home.

And I met various people. I mean, so many types.

Mm.

I learned the importance of both mental and physical care.

Not just for the patient, but for the family, too.

It inspired me to follow the path of a medical caregiver.

I got a recommendation for a school here.

[gasps]

- [Reina] My school? - [Shun] Mm.

I start tomorrow.

That surprised?

Heart failure.

[chuckles] Sorry.

So you plan to become a doctor.

Yeah.

I'd like to give it a shot.

Oh, you've kept that on there?

Oh.

Yeah, he's my trusty partner.

I missed you.

[soft music playing]

[Airi and Miho] Shun Kanda is back?

Mm-hm.

In med school, to boot? How much better can he get?

He was supernaturally popular in high school.

[gasps] Who was that girl obsessed with him?

- Aimi Kawashima. - Right!

[Airi] AKA the "Queen."

[Aimi] Move.

[screaming]

Are you okay?

- [Airi] Ah, found it. Look. - Hm?

[Reina] Three hundred thousand followers?

No kidding. She quit college to start a company.

- Mm. - Apparel firm, Feuille d'amour.

Incredible.

"Juvenile Detention Center"

The "Prince" returns.

[Shun] Your latest song rocks.

What, you heard it? You know about my band?

Yeah.

Sucks.

"Visitor Room No. 2"

Enter.

Kaede.

Sorry.

Don't apologize.

I caused a lot of trouble.

[Shun] Trouble?

I did.

I get it.

Sorry.

Yu sang it at our high school festival.

He performed "What's So Special?" by himself.

- Huh? - Don't tell him that.

Did you get a video?

I'll sing it again for you. Live.

You're getting out soon, right?

Yeah.

[chuckles]

That performance was a huge hit.

[chuckles]

Why wouldn't it be? The lyrics are amazing.

Okay, don't get cocky.

[all laughing]

[no audible dialogue]

I'm sorry about your mom.

News from Tanikawa?

Yeah, I heard from Reina.

Listen...

me and Reina...

Are going out, right?

I saw the video.

The video's a lie, right?

I've decided to be straight with myself.

So are you going to Yu's next concert?

You bet.

Get me an autograph.

You can get that anytime.

Hm? I can?

Bring Yu over sometime.

Are you serious?

"I've got myself a girl."

You're dating, right?

- You're making your mom nervous. - [laughing]

Do you know the "3Bs" Reina?

Band man, beautician, bartender.

I disapprove of them.

Listen closely, everyone.

I'm not going out with Yu.

[Reimi] Famous last words.

[Hisashi] Also, the "3Cs."

- Cameraman, creator... - [camera shutter clicking]

and any man who makes "curry" from scratch.

- I disapprove of them, too. - [camera shutter clicking]

[manager] What were you thinking?

Have some sense as a public figure.

You're forbidden from seeing her.

[secretary] Pardon me.

Boss, could you check the manuscript?

Thank you.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Hello, is this Aimi Kawashima?

Who's calling?

- Getting chairs. - Okay.

- In back. - Got it.

Oh.

Well? Have you fallen for me yet?

I'm kidding. I told you I'd wait.

- Oh, look at this. - Hm?

"Congratulations, NO TIME! Feuille d'amour CEO, Aimi Kawashima"

[Reina] Wow.

[Yu] She's made it big.

That's amazing. Both you and Aimi have had such success.

Hm?

I don't know.

I kind of haven't done anything.

[chuckles] Sorry. Did that come out negative?

Not giving up on becoming who you want, are you?

- Huh? - Those were your words.

Long ago.

You still like makeovers?

Yeah.

I love them.

The reporters are ready for you, Yu.

[Yu] Okay.

Sorry. I'd better go.

- Mm. See you later. - Okay.

Ah. [Sighs]

It occurred to me. You should start posting videos.

[chuckles]

Hello. My name is Selena.

Today, I'll introduce healthy makeup

to draw out your features.

No way... no way. I can't possibly do this.

[Reimi] Oh, little sister, come here!

Oh, don't look so annoyed. Come over here.

[muttering]

- How are things? - Hm?

At college.

- College. - Enjoying yourself?

Need a scary story?

Not necessary.

Ordinary college student A

spends her days between study and work.

In her third year, she sees everyone applying for jobs.

Student A asks herself...

"What do I really want to do? What have I done?"

Student A feels lost.

That's because she's let herself be washed by the tide around her.

Your true story?

Shh!

Filled with regret?

Of course.

And struggling to learn from it.

You have something you love. Why don't you face it?

Hey, don't steal the best part.

[door opens, closes]

[somber music playing]

Hm.

I've got to face it.

[Reimi snores]

Jeez. I looked up to you.

Right!

[upbeat music playing]

Hello, I'm Reina.

I'd like to begin with office makeup.

A quick makeup method for a busy morning.

Start inward and move outward spreading thinly.

"Reina's Makeup Room"

Voila, you're ready for work.

If you liked this video, please subscribe to my channel.

See you next time, bye-bye!

Look... look! [Panting]

[Reimi] What?

I got comments!

[Reina giggles]

[Reimi] "Hard to follow." "Anybody can do that."

They're dissing you.

My first comments!

Masochist?

For your cherry blossom viewing date

apply subtle glitter to the base of your lashes.

The sparkle under your eyes will make a cute impression.

- Wait, Miho. A little more slowly. - Oh.

Yeah, like this.

If you found this video helpful, please subscribe.

"Typical!" "Heard this before."

[Reina] Until next time, bye-bye!

[light music playing]

Men should aim for naturally attractive eyebrows.

Start with a screw brush for a tidy flow.

Manager, look at this.

- [Reina] Even if your hair is black, - Whoa.

Be careful not to over-darken the inner corners of your brows.

"She's amazingly good."

"Isn't that Yu's girlfriend?"

"15,302 views"

Way to go, Reina!

Keep it up, girl!

Raise those views!

[Reina] Naturally attractive brows.

Until next time, bye-bye!

Breaking the 100,000 barrier!

- Whoo! - [all laugh]

I'm so nervous. What if it brings out the trolls?

It's all thanks to Yu's fame.

- Read your comments. - Here.

"I always learn a lot!"

"Refined use of colors."

"Your hard work comes through."

Yu's fame helps, but this is all your effort.

That's right. Plus, you're using awesome models.

[laughs]

Miho, Airi, you're the best!

- [all laugh] - [Airi and Miho] Yeah!

- [Reina] Thank you! - [Airi] Pleasure!

[upbeat music playing]

[in English] Cut! Let's move on to the next scene!

Cut! Okay!

[crew shouting in Japanese]

- Wait, it's today? - Hm?

I heard they'd be shooting a movie.

[Reina] Cool.

[Miho] Oh. [Gasps]

- That's Takao Kanda! - [Airi] Oh, my God!

- Who's that? - Seriously?

Big-name actor working in Hollywood.

- It's him! - So cool!

Uh... is he looking at you, Reina?

Huh?

[Miho] Is he coming over?

- [gasps] - [Airi] Oh, my God.

[Airi] Oh, my God, oh, my God.

Are you...

Reina Tanikawa?

Eh? What?

Shun's father?

Shh. Take a seat.

[laughing]

I guess I do see a resemblance.

Identical.

- Don't push it, Dad. - [chuckles]

I'm honored to meet you.

You're much prettier than your photo.

- Photo? - Mm.

The one in Shun's room.

- Dad. - You stared at it nightly.

I don't stare. Will you shush?

What photo?

It's from the school festival.

It's kind of my favorite.

- You're also a horror fan? - Yes.

Do you know director Jack Brighton? Same agency.

Of "Rotation of Ants"?

His spatial sense is genius.

Horror is first about space, secondly, space...

- No three or four but... - [both] Fifth is space!

- You got it! - Beautiful.

Dad, get back to work.

Yeah the shoot has stalled.

One makeup artist got sick.

The makeup chief is handling it alone.

- Here. - [Takao] Hm?

Can I recommend a ringer for you?

Huh?

Pardon me.

[upbeat music playing]

- Ms. Tanikawa! - Yes?

Powder down Mr. Soga.

Yes, of course.

Excuse me.

Ms. Kaburagi on set!

[crew] Good day!

- Good day. - [Reina] Good day.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Ms. Tanikawa, need some hairspray.

Yes! Pardon me.

- [clanking] - [gasps, screams]

[indistinct chatter]

I'm sorry!

[crew] Everybody, please stand by.

[crew member muttering]

Tell me. Who brought this girl along?

I'm sorry.

My apologies. She's my responsibility.

[in English] Let's talk about it again.

I was a complete failure.

Worse, I caused trouble and made my superior apologize for me.

Listen.

But this is my ability.

It was very frustrating.

But it showed me for who I am.

I see.

[Reina] I'm glad I found out.

It's made me want to study more.

And learn more about makeup.

So I should thank you, Shun...

- for recommending me. - Oh.

I need to thank your dad, too.

- Listen, Tanikawa. - Hm?

Can I call you Reina?

Huh?

Why?

Because I want to.

Hello, everyone. It's Reina.

Today, I'd like to answer your questions.

[door opens]

Mr. Shige.

Oh, my gosh, it's the real Reina!

Knock it off.

Too exuberant. Is all well?

I'm finally on my way.

So awesome. College life, the spring of youth.

But isn't it worrisome when things are going too well?

You'll never be happy like that.

- Can't help it. - Here.

"Chinese Compound"! [gasps]

- Now I'm happy. [Chuckles] - Uh-huh.

[camera shutter clicking]

[ominous music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Sorry I'm late. - Hi.

Oh, coming to the reunion?

What reunion?

A reunion-like get together. The Prince is back.

- Sounds like fun. - Mm.

Good, Reina's in.

Hooray.

It's at a villa.

A villa?

Yeah, Yu's.

- [coughs] - Are you okay?

[light music playing]

[people cheering, laughing]

- [Miho] Oh, my God! - [Yu] Over here!

- [Miho] Yu, this is awesome. - [Yu] Morning! Welcome.

- [Airi] Check this out! - [Miho] A pool, too!

- Unbelievable! - [Yu chuckles]

[Airi] Gorgeous.

- So awesome! - [all laughing]

- Cheers! - [all] Cheers!

- Meat's ready, Reina. - [Reina chuckles]

- Here. - Thanks.

Oh, oh!

Yeah, that's fabulous.

Don't steal my food.

Put your name on it.

He grilled it for me.

[laughs] Don't be mad. Thanks, Shun.

[Yu] Another.

- Marshmallows. - Just about done.

- Looks good. - And yummy!

You ready for this?

- Here, Reina. - Thanks.

- And for Yu. - [in English] Thank you.

- [Miho chuckling] - Ow!

- [in Japanese] Too hot? - Hot.

[Reina] Scorching.

- [Shun] Here. - [Reina] Thanks.

- [Miho] Cooled enough? - [Reina] Yup.

Is Airi around?

Everyone's hitting the pool. Got towels?

- Oh, Yu. - Towels are over there.

- Thanks. - Yep.

Something wrong?

What are your feelings about... him?

"Him" who?

Shun Kanda.

Gosh, I don't know.

Your answer to my question.

I said to take your time.

I take it back.

Hm?

Answer me right now.

I'm not like him. I'm not going to disappear somewhere.

I'll always be by your side.

Yu...

So I'm asking.

Choose me.

[sighs]

[door closes softly]

[clatters]

- [Mana] What's all the noise? - [gasps]

- [door opens] - Huh?

[door opens]

- [Airi] What a mess. - [Miho] Yeah. Why?

[Yu] Everything okay?

Hey, Yu?

- Huh? - [Airi] Come here a sec.

[gasps, pants]

[Shun] Reina?

Shun?

Please hide me.

[Yu] Anybody hurt?

No, we're fine.

- I heard a crash. - [Yu] Huh.

Where's Reina?

- [gasps] - [clatters]

[Yu] You okay, Shun? I heard a noise.

Wait here.

I tripped over a lamp cord.

- You okay? - Mm.

Can I bathe first?

- Go ahead. - Okay, thanks.

Well, good night.

[both] Good night.

[both] Good night.

All clear.

Thank God.

I'm still scared.

What?

I've never shown myself...

to Miho and Airi.

I really love them so I feel bad hiding things.

I've been meaning to tell them but...

but...

[chuckles]

[laughing] Stop that.

[Shun] There, see.

That smile is the best.

Your best is good enough.

Those two will wait for it.

Mm.

Thank you.

I should go.

- Oh. - Hm?

Would you accompany me tomorrow morning?

To what?

[birds chirping]

[gasps]

From "Rotation of Ants"!

[Shun] Yup.

- From that great last scene. - [Reina chuckles]

[Reina] This was the tunnel!

[Shun] Shall we then?

Oh, my God. Here's where...

Right! From behind...

[leaves rustling]

[foreboding music playing]

[metal rasps]

[both scream]

Ahh!

What? It's just me.

It's me! [Sighs]

- Why are you two up so early? - [Reina chuckles]

Sorry. Just woke up, I guess.

What's your excuse?

Button it.

We've been here before.

But Kaede was with us.

Who's Kaede?

Kaede Hayama.

A member of our old band.

You can't call us two a "band."

You're right. We need drums.

What took so long?

Did you get everything?

So slow.

I asked for café au lait.

[Yu] His classmates bullied him as a sophomore.

But that mostly stopped after he joined our band.

What are you saying?

I'm quitting the band today.

Later.

I guess it's all over now.

This is not right.

It's no biggie.

I'll be all right.

[Yu] So the band broke up.

And the bullying started again.

[bully] Yo, Kaede.

Having a lot of fun lately?

How have you been?

What are you studying?

[laughs]

It's not going to help.

[Yu] And then it happened.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, look. If it isn't Kaede.

[bully] What's that?

Take it easy.

What happened?

Juvenile detention.

The night before...

I got a call from Kaede.

But I couldn't pick up.

I ignored it because I was wrapped up in myself.

I might have prevented it.

But I didn't.

No.

You're wrong.

You can't blame yourselves.

Believe me.

I transferred schools for pretty much the same reason.

I had no one to turn to.

Nor a place to go.

I just kept sinking.

But it was all worth it because I'm here now.

If I could meet my former self...

I'd smile and say, "I'm okay."

I bet...

that day will come for Kaede, too.

It might take time, but that day will come.

- That band sure was a blast. - [Shun] Mm.

I wish we had it back.

Like reuniting to play "What's So Special?"

[Shun] I can hear Kaede now.

"Yu, your tempo's too fast."

- The guy's too stoic. - [chuckles]

[upbeat music playing]

Know what?

I want us three to forever be great friends.

I think this dynamic is the happiest for all of us.

I want it like this always.

At least for me.

That's what I want.

[sucks teeth]

[female reporter] The Rieto Group is suspected of tax evasion

of 100 million yen.

[Reina] Ah, morning Miho, Airi.

What's wrong?

[female reporter] Tokyo public prosecutors did a search

of the Rieto Group headquarters in Meguro.

Arrested for suspicion of tax evasion

were four executives including Chairman Igarashi.

Mr. Igarashi is father to Yu

a member of the popular rock band, NO TIME.

According to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office,

suspect Igarashi and others

recorded false special losses. Approximately 400 million yen in income...

[indistinct chatter]

[gasps]

Are you okay, Yu?

Sure. Why?

- What do you mean, "why"? - [chuckles]

I mean, it's not a big deal.

In fact, I can freely write songs now.

[chuckles] Oh, okay. I'm relieved, then.

Sorry to ruin your sympathy visit. But as you can see, I'm great.

I see.

But...

I want you by me.

Especially at times like these.

And not just as friends.

[rapid approaching footsteps]

[Rin] Yu!

Uh, is that Reina?

Ah, how are you, Rin?

Oh, no!

You won't believe this.

"Makeup influencer exposed!"

"Yu's girl the Goddess au natural?"

- "Does Yu even know?" - "He must be crushed."

"Repost" "Quote" "Like"

[uneasy music playing]

- "Hard to recover from." - "It's still up?"

- "I'm unsubscribing." - "Has Yu seen this?"

- "Free Yu, please." - "Influencer my ass!"

[Reo] Hey, sis! I'm leaving food for you.

What's the hell is this?

Did you know about her all along?

[sighs]

Listen, Yu.

Don't involve Reina.

What?

You called her your girlfriend. Protect her first.

You weren't even around. You have no right to pass judgment.

She was with you all this time and you never saw her.

What are we doing?

[sighs]

Saving Reina, that's what.

[munching]

Is every day "cheat day" now?

I'm stockpiling fat for hibernation.

I have a squirrel for a daughter.

[doorbell chimes]

Could you get that, Reo?

Yeah.

[door opens]

[Reo] Visitors for Reina.

Ignore them.

- [Reo] Sorry. I let them in. - [door closes]

[gasps]

[dog howls]

I bet you're shocked, Yu.

But this is the real me.

I'm thinking of joining the priesthood.

You know, mountain life, asceticism.

Sounds pretty awesome, right? I'd make a good nun.

Reina.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me. It's my fault.

No, it's mine for deceiving everyone.

You're wrong.

I got you involved in this.

I got in the way of your makeup...

of your doing what you wanted.

[Shun] Reina.

Don't abandon what you love.

You have a dream, right?

But I can't return to college or post videos.

[Shun] Don't worry.

Leave it to us.

But before that...

[gasps] Robert Hayes' Neighbor's Wrath in 4K?

[Shun] Let's watch it together.

You can't be serious.

No escape.

[foreboding music playing]

Turn down the volume. I mean it.

Stop that!

Hey Yu, check this out.

You two are definitely twisted.

He rounds the corner and...

- [Reina] Here it comes. - [Yu whimpers]

[Reina] Here it comes.

[ominous music playing]

- [both] There it is! - [Yu shrieks]

[laughing]

[Reina] Neighbor's Wrath rules.

- Especially in 4K. - Mm.

The high fidelity.

[Shun] And in black and white.

Yeah.

[man screaming onscreen]

[Yu] The perpetrator really knows Reina's daily life.

I want to kill him.

Let's catch the creep ourselves.

Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

See anyone suspicious?

Can't say I have.

Oh, so you're the "Scion"?

- Huh? - Oh.

Reina's a tough nut to crack. Stick to it.

One step forward, four steps back is the approach.

No, wait, I did see some guy loitering about.

- But he skedaddled. - Describe him.

Late teen, early twenties.

Depending on your perspective

maybe thirties or forties, fifties or sixties.

[both] Which is it?

What I mean is most people.

He basically looks like most people.

I'm sorry.

I've lied to you all this time...

deceived you.

I am...

I mean, the real me is...

Reina.

You're a genius!

It's so amazing. You're a magician!

[Airi] We don't feel a bit deceived.

You're always Reina to us.

Yeah, I'm so proud to have such a bitchen friend.

You guys... [sobs]

[laughing]

You'd better teach us your secrets.

BFF perks.

- Mm. - [all laugh]

[Miho] There, there. Don't cry.

- Thanks. - [all laughing]

How do you feel about her "stay friends" pact?

Nothing. It's fine with me.

But it's important to Reina.

I've never seen you so committed to something.

You really like her, don't you?

So do you.

I don't want...

Reina to become like Kaede.

I can't repeat that mistake.

I want to be there.

Yeah, I know.

We won't repeat that mistake.

Ah, but this jerk is eluding us.

You were her "boyfriend."

You never saw anyone suspicious?

Oh.

[door opens]

[upbeat music playing]

You!

Stop!

Ms. Karasawa?

Why?

Oh.

Caught the perp.

Yusei Kijima.

[foreboding music playing]

[slurps] Aah.

[door opens]

[door closes]

You're the one.

Explain this to us, please.

We can probably guess, but...

Yu, hurry to rehearsal. You've got a concert coming.

I'll want the story later.

[sighs] They're in your hands.

[door opens]

[door closes]

It was all for Yu's sake.

Just as NO TIME was starting to hit it big...

and build a loyal fan base...

he did this.

I got myself a girl.

[crowd cheering]

I saw it all go up in flames.

What were you thinking?

You're forbidden from seeing her.

So I decided to look into you.

The bullying in high school.

Your transfer and the school festival.

I even learned...

of the college classmate following you around, who you rejected.

So I hired him.

You did that?

I was serious about you.

But you brushed me off.

I didn't expect all of this.

Promise never to do it again.

Hurt Reina again and you'll have hell to pay from me.

I'm sorry.

I've kept regretting...

what I did to you.

And for never apologizing.

The high school pic that went viral?

- [camera shutter clicking] - [Aimi] I took that.

Then a while ago...

she asked me for the photo.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Hello, is this Aimi Kawashima?

Who's calling, please?

But I refused.

Then why?

From elsewhere.

Students from your old school.

- [laughing] - [camera shutter clicks]

Creepy or what?

[Minami] I'm the one who shared the photos.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

But I've been wanting to apologize face to face.

Ms. Tanikawa.

I'm so sorry.

You did that at the festival out of your feelings for Shun.

Even now, you're still worried about me.

Ms. Kawashima...

the festival and this latest incident...

are things I'll never forget.

But...

even so...

I want to move onward.

That's all I'm wishing for right now.

Right?

Mm.

- [phone buzzing] - Excuse me.

Hello?

[gasps]

What do I do?

I'm sorry.

Yumeno had an allergic reaction to toner.

I'm sorry. [Sobs]

I've got really sensitive skin.

I forgot to tell the makeup artist "No alcohol content."

What can we do?

[assistant] We can manage the photo shoot.

But then she's going live on television.

How are you feeling?

Okay?

Yes.

But what do I do?

I think, Ms. Kawashima...

how about changing her look?

Yellow or green is the control color for erasing the redness.

Rhinestones will add glamor to your eyes.

We can utilize your cheek redness...

with a touch of tan blush.

- [camera shutter clicking] - [cameraman] Okay, great. That's perfect.

Just like that. Hold that pose. Okay.

[cameraman giving instructions]

- [camera shutter clicking] - [cameraman] Okay... okay.

Wonderful. That's a keeper.

Okay... okay.

One last one. Great.

- We're done! - Thank you.

[all applauding]

Ms. Reina.

I can't thank you enough.

You were like a magician.

[chuckles]

Well done, Yumeno. You were amazing.

I'll never forget what you did.

Please work on me again.

It would be my pleasure.

Thank you, Ms. Tanikawa.

God, I was such an idiot.

[Shun] This really was one hell of a day.

Yeah, so much happened, my mind can't process it all.

I was scared.

Frankly, I've been scared a long time.

Reina.

You did good.

Thanks, Shun.

[soft music playing]

[Takao] Are you dating Reina?

No, I'm not... yet.

Yet?

But...

she's too important to me. I don't want to give up.

I failed you as a father.

I wasn't there in your toughest time.

I just wasn't aware... no...

I never tried to.

So I'm telling you now.

I feel the same way.

I want to save Reina.

If she's important to you...

she's important to me.

"Yu, I'm sorry for constricting you."

"Follow your heart and find your place to shine."

"I'm rooting for you. - Dad"

[somber music playing]

[Miho] There he is. Shun!

Did you hear Yu's father is resigning?

"Rieto Group Chairman Igarashi to resign"

"The band is unrelated."

"I need Yu's voice."

"I love NO TIME's music!"

"Yu's voice saved me. Let's save him."

[sighs] What a relief.

[phone ringing]

Tanikawa here.

[Takao] Hi, Ms. Reina.

I know it's sudden, but there's a job I'd like to ask you to do.

What? A job?

[upbeat music playing]

[sighs deeply]

Hello.

I'm so sorry for the other day.

I heard about what you did.

You seem to have talent.

Eh?

[clapping]

She doesn't mince words with just anybody, you know.

Only those with promise.

So stop standing there.

And fix my makeup.

I'd be honored.

[chimes]

Holy crap! Oh, my God! What the hell?

Prince, get over here! This is crazy.

This is nuts. Come around back here.

- Okay. - Look at this.

[Reina] Today, I'd like to introduce...

my own daily makeup regimen.

From no makeup to makeup, I transform myself.

The best makeover comes from knowing your true face.

Make an effort to like yourself.

It helps if you interact with people around you.

People enable you to see different sides of yourself.

I have only one motto.

Become who you want to be, and don't give up.

The no-makeup me, and the made up me...

are one and the same person.

From the bottom of my heart, I love makeup.

- "Reina rocks!" - "Pure makeup love!"

- "The Goddess rules!" - "Real Reina's the best!"

I always knew she was strong, the Goddess.

"Reina"

[crowd cheering, applauding]

Thank you for coming! I have returned!

- [crowd] Welcome back! - [applauding, cheering]

My love for music is forever.

And of course, so is my love for you.

[crowd cheering]

And tonight...

we have two heroes of mine who picked me up when I was down.

[crowd murmuring]

You all know Reina, of course.

- In person? - Reina?

She's a goddess!

I've had a huge crush on her ever since high school.

[crowd gasps]

But you know...

she never once showed interest.

That's because she had a dream to pursue.

But I revere her as a great friend.

Standing next to her is Shun Kanda.

[fan 1] Wow, he's cute, too.

[fan 2] He looks like an idol himself.

He's annoyingly good at everything.

And also my greatest friend.

This next song...

is something so dear to me, it defies description.

I can't live without it.

It's called "What's So Special?"

["What's So Special?" playing]

- Your fairness... - Hm?

About me and Shun.

Huh?

Whomever you choose to love, or choose to date...

our friendship stays.

So, relax...

and follow your heart.

Now I'm going to sing my heart out. [chuckles]

[singing continues]

[singing continues]

[singing continues]

[singing continues]

[music ends]

Yu's song was amazing.

Yeah, even he's grown up.

[laughing] Are you his dad?

- Listen. - This place.

Huh?

Do you remember?

It's where you said you were leaving for America.

On that day...

I neglected to say something.

It was important, but I couldn't.

I regretted it.

But I thought...

I'd forget over time.

Or pretend it never happened.

But I couldn't.

It haunted my memory.

Truth is...

I haven't changed a bit since.

I've been in love with you.

I said I wanted to stay friends, so it's too late, but...

[Shun] I'm so glad.

Me too.

I'm mad about you, too.

You're an important friend.

But...

that's not enough.

Really?

Like really-really?

[soft music playing]

I confess...

morning makeup's my favorite time of day.

That moment I meet a new me in front of that mirror.

And yet...

I always felt a little guilty ever since high school.

Like I'm hiding myself in makeup.

I'm lying to everybody.

But that's changed.

I don't think that anymore.

Because...

no-makeup me or full makeup me...

both are important.

I want to give affirmation to both of me.

I came to feel that way...

because I met you.

Same here.

In high school, when my mom collapsed and I quit the band...

I decided to stop thinking about myself.

"Take care of mom. Live for that," I thought.

But then...

I met you.

And I saw a future.

I could become who I wanted to be and never give up.

So you see, you saved my life.

And are still at it.

What you gave me, I wish to pay forward.

That's why I want to be a doctor.

You have that kind of power, Reina.

Yeah.

See, what did I tell you? That smile is what I love best.

Hey, Shun?

I love you.

Say that again.

- Hm? - Just now.

I love you, Shun.

One hundred times more.

One hundred?

[soft music playing]

[director] Cut!

Let's take it again.

[upbeat music playing]

Powder her forehead a bit.

[makeup artist] Got it.

Pardon me.

- Fix the bangs with hairspray. - [girl] Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

Hello.

- Dr. Kanda, here you are. - Okay.

- [woman screaming in movie] - [laughing]

[in English] Oh, my God! Not again!

[whimpers]

"Rotation of Ants"

No. [screams]

[gasps]

- [woman screaming in movie] - Oh. [Laughing]

- [door opens] - [laughing]

- [Shun] I'm home. - [door closes]

Hey, Shun!

Look. This just never gets old.

[whimpering]

[in English] Oh, come on. You got to be kidding me.

Come on. [whimpering]

- Seriously, please! - [laughs]

[woman whimpers, screams]

Come.

[gasps]

Will you marry me?

Eh? Now?

Yes! With pleasure!

[woman screams]
