Innocent Love Episode 1

December 24, 2001 Christmas Eve

Prepare to start the water!

Yes! Yes!

Start the water!

Yes!

Over there!

Start it!

There are two people still alive!

Are you okay?

Hurry up!

Are you okay? Are you alright?

Where is my mother?

Mom!

Fool!

You can't!

Stop it!

Mom!!

You can't go in there!

Mom!

Dad!

It's going to collapse!

Get out of the way!

Did you know, Onii-chan? [Onii-chan = older brother]

Out in the universe, there are hundred millions of stars dying each day, fading out.

But it is said that everyday almost the same number of new stars is born again.

Every time I look up to the night sky,

I look for the smallest star of all, the one sparkling far away from the other ones.

Even this star is giving its best to sparkle brightly,

telling us that it exists.

Asking us not to forget about it.

Good morning!

Good morning, Kanon-chan!

I will start cleaning now, okay?

Yes, thank you.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Oh, I guess, I am still a bit too early?

Have a seat!

Here you go.

Would you like to order the morning set?

Yeah.

Okay.

I will put your coat away for you.

Thank you!

That's quite a hard-working girl, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

She is coming here from Nagamori, but she is really a good kid.

Right, Kanon-chan?

Excuse me?

Kanon-chan?

That is a nice name.

Thank you!

Dad, Mom, Onii-chan... Let's eat!

Good morning!

Good morning.

You're early.

You see, Kanon-chan, my younger sister told me she wants to start helping out at the cafe.

When she does, there will be too many people working here.

Therefore, I am really sorry, starting from next month...

Your sister?

Is that so?

Well, there is nothing I can do then.

I am really sorry.

Just now you got used to the work here...

No, it's okay.

He killed their parents, this girl's older brother.

When I heard she is from Nagamori, I remembered that incident.

And then her name...

Thank you so much for telling me about it.

I just moved to this area, so I had no clue...

You are better off not getting involved with her.

(Nagano Juvenile Prison)

Akiyama.

Yes.

Miss Kanon is here to visit you.

Go on in.

Have you been well?

Yeah.

So?

Good to hear.

How about you?

Yes, I'm fine.

Is that so?

If you endure it for a bit more, you will be released and put under observation, right?

Yeah.

I will go and try to ask the lawyer one more time to free you from those false accusations.

Just leave it.

He will not even give you a chance to talk to him anyways.

Don't say something like this!

There are a lot other good lawyers.

I will try and look for one - over there.

Ah, nothing.

Anyway, let's work hard!

I will give my best, too.

Okay?

Yes.

Onii-chan, I am sorry.

I wasn't able to tell you

that I decided to leave our hometown and go to the big city.

It feels somehow as if I am abandoning you.

But you know...

Here in this city where everyone knows me...

I can't live here...

(Parricides, get out of here!)

...anymore.

Besides that, there is nothing that holds me back anymore.

Dad, Mom...

One, two!

Don't blow them out!

the memory of them.

Dad, light the candles one more time.

They have all vanished.

One, two!

December 2007 Yokohama

Starting from today, this girl will work together with you.

This is Yamamoto Kazumi.

I am Yamamoto Kazumi.

I will give my best, so please take care of me.

Nice to meet you.

(Cleaning staff: Yamamoto Kazumi)

So late already?

Aren't you going to eat lunch?

I will as soon as I am finished here.

We're home!

We're home!

You already did a good job cleaning, I see?

Yes.

Excuse me, this picture...?

Ah. That one is blurry anyways,

you can throw it away.

Yes.

Saki-chan, come here!

Yes!

I am home.

Let's eat.

Yosh!

May we?

Yes, come in!

Play something!

Now!

Yes, play something!

I got it, I got it

Let's start!

Hurry up!

On three, now!

What a friend we have in Jesus, Itsukushimi fukaki

all our sins and griefs to bear! tomo naru iesu wa

What a privilege Tsumi toga urei to

to carry everything to God in prayer! torisari mou

What peace we often forfeit, Kokoro no nageki wo

what needless pain we bear... tsutsumazu nobete...

Woah!

What are you doing?

Ah, I understand!

She left without saying a word.

Don't you think she likes you?

Me?

Listen, there is this big age gap...

For women, something like an age gap doesn't matter!

You're are really dull when it comes to those things, Jun-chan.

I am sure you don't even consciously try to be that popular.

You're acting so childish,

like a junior high school student.

I'm so sorry for acting like a junior high school student.

Hey!

Hm?

Aren't you going to compose songs anymore?

Uhm...

I mean, as a hobby repairing pipe organs is fine, but Jun-chan, you could perform at much better places, right?

You even composed a lot of commercials, didn't you?

Somehow it is such a waste if you end up like this.

Yeah, but you see, I really have talent!

So if I start with my work again, I will happen to be really famous!

Wouldn't it be great to become famous?

That is to say, wouldn't it be great if you become popular?

But if that happens,

the people around me wouldn't leave Kiyoka alone, would they?

That's it. You're doing it for Kiyoka.

How can you say something embarrassing like this so openly?

No, nothing.

What are you doing?

Who is acting like a junior high school student now?

Ah!

I have a great idea.

A stuffed teddy bear. I will wear a teddy bear-costume and surprise her.

And then say "Merry Christmas!" and give her the present.

All of a sudden,

what are you talking about anyways?

That is, how I am going to surprise Kiyoka for Christmas.

Ah, that is what it's about.

Actually, I did this for her already seven years ago on Christmas.

Wearing a teddy bear-costume and waiting in front of her house,

ringing her bell.

And, how did it work out?

She laughed at me.

You know, she likes laughing,

she was laughing until she started crying and she still couldn't stop laughing.

And when I asked her then to go out with me

she gave me her okay.

Yes, yes, I got it.

It is fine that you care about Kiyoka so much.

But sometimes you should get a rest, okay?

Listen, this Christmas Eve I'm planning on renting a boat with some friends and doing a cruising tour.

Just a bit is okay, but could you show up then?

Cruising?

There will be girls as well, of course.

And only cute girls who caught my eye.

There is no dress code, but a looks code.

Really? I am interested.

I thought so.

I want to see what type of girls you like, Subaru.

What the...

I am home, Kiyoka!

I bought a Christmas tree!

Let's eat.

Oh, did you make this yourself?

Yes.

You are really such a good and serious girl, Kazumi-chan.

I am kind of touched.

The girl I used to work with before,

she had her hair bleached and no matter what I talked to her about,

her only answer was: "Ha, ha." It was really a strange atmosphere.

And then she got fired because she was sticky-fingered.

Is that so?

Yes, rings or coins she found under the table...

Really an unreliable person.

You're right.

I'll get some tea.

Do you want to come here?

Close to me?

See, who is here!

Haru-chan,

Haru-chan...

Drink something.

I'm fine!

This is the house of a musician.

He said that he is very busy and sometimes leaving for the countryside, so he does not have the time to clean properly.

Typical man when it comes to that, you know.

Is that so?

There is one room

which we are not allowed to enter under any circumstances.

Well, it is locked, so we cannot enter anyways.

We're coming in!

Kazumi-chan!

Yes!

That's the room.

Ah...

Kind of scary, isn't it?

What do you think is in there?

A corpse or something?

I am just joking!

He is a really nice person and doesn't look like a bad guy at all.

But then again, you cannot judge people from their appearance.

Yes, here is Iwata speaking!

Oh, really?

That's a problem, I can't leave now because I am at work.

Yes... I know but...

I will come as soon as possible.

Did something happen?

Yeah.

My father, he lives in a retirement home, you know.

Lately he is becoming senile and he sometimes acts violently.

And every time they call me to come. I don't know how to handle all this anymore.

Please go there.

I will do the rest here.

Will you be okay?

This will take a lot of time if you do it alone.

It will be okay.

Really?

Thank you!

You're such a good girl!

(I caught a stag beetle! A big one!)

(Christmas - together with Mizuki-chan)

(Yokohama University of Arts)

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I am from Smile & Clean.

I am cleaning...

I know that.

But what are you hiding there?

That. What you are hiding?

Why?

You will tell my company about this, right?

I don't care if you do, I am really sorry. Excuse me.

Wait!

Tell me the reason.

If I tell you, will you forgive me?

I can't say that before listening to the reason you had.

I...

I like to see people smiling.

When people live their lives,

they can not stay smiling all the time, can they?

They cry, they get angry, they have trouble...

But on photos people are smiling forever.

Because this person's happy moment is forever kept in the picture.

I got it.

But I cannot give you this photo.

Of course not!

I'm really sorry.

Wait a second!

Let's take a picture.

What?

You want a picture, right?

Then let's take one now.

Give me your mobile phone.

Hurry up.

I think, the background here should be fine.

Smile!

That should be okay...

Okay! Here we go.

Are you smiling?

Yes.

One, two.

I didn't know

that such a tiny, little thing,

even something like one single person's smile,

can change the world.

Onii-chan, how are you doing?

I am fine.

And everyday is really fun.

Yes.

Is it a present for someone?

Yes.

Do you want that one also?

No, it's fine.

Christmas Eve 2007

Are you done already?

Yes, almost.

I was wondering if you could clean the bathroom also.

Do you have time?

I will ask.

Harue-san,

our client wants to know if we...

Forget it.

Please, forget it!

It was just a sudden impulse.

This was the first time ever, I swear!

Because my father is ill, we don't have enough money...

How is it? Can you do it?

The bathroom, right? That's okay, isn't it, Harue-san?

Ah, yes!

So? That's great, I count on you.

We're back.

Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you for your hard work!

Yamamoto-san.

There is a reporter waiting for you.

He said, he wants to hear your story.

Your real name is... Akiyama Kanon-san?

(Editing Department "Weekly Trends", Ikeda Jirou)

It must have been hard to lose your parents so suddenly.

But if there is something you can remember,

I want you to tell me.

Are you going to make an article out of it?

I am working on juvenile crimes,

something like your brother did,

and many other incidents.

Your brother... had been shutting himself up from the world long time before the incident, right?

You already assume that my brother is guilty, don't you?

But he didn't do anything.

Six years ago.

2001, December 24, late at night.

There is this housewife who lived nearby your home at that time.

Her name is Takahashi Yuko

who said that she heard the arguing voices.

Say something! Yoji!

Since your brother started to lock himself up in his room,

the relationship between your father and your brother wasn't really good, right?

Are you okay?

That day,

my brother woke me up and saved my life.

He said: "It's a fire, we have to flee!"

When we heard that our parents were still inside the house,

my brother was trembling while he stared at the fire.

He is a very gentle person.

This is?

A present for your brother?

Christmas Eve is...

...the day your parents died, right?

You don't feel any resistance to celebrate this day, the two of you?

Back then, that night, it was really fun!

Dad was there, Mom was there, my brother was there.

Everyone was laughing.

I wasn't lonely that time.

It is completely impossible that my brother killed our parents.

Do it for me,

Mr. Parricide.

(Searching for: Nagano parricide arson incident)

In the Nagano parricide arson incident... The house burnt down...

The suspect, older son Yoji, 18, and his sister... Kanon-chan, 13...

I am finished here.

Yes, the Smile-Company speaking.

Excuse me.

I'll put the work control sheet over here.

Thank you for your hard work!

Ah, Harue-san!

Wait a second.

Yes.

I need to talk to you.

I am back.

Come here!

Yes.

From the mansion you and Harue-san went to last week, there has been a complaint.

They said there is money missing they had put into an envelope.

Harue-san said she hasn't done it.

How about you?

It's her.

I think she took it.

I saw how she opened the cupboard, acting suspiciously.

That's not true!

I didn't take it!

But you lied and registered here under a false name, didn't you?

Your real name or where you're from...

The thing about your parents... That is because you feel guilty, right?

Indeed, there is a proverb saying: "He that will lie, will steal."

So...

If I had written my real name and where I am from,

would you have hired me even if you knew all the backgrounds?

I wouldn't have.

I am sorry,

but now that something like this has happened...

I understand.

I apologize.

Excuse me.

(Yamamoto Kazumi)

It's her.

I think she took it. The thing about your parents...

That is because you feel guilty, right?

Therefore, I am really sorry, starting from next month...

When I heard she is from Nagamori...

Christmas Eve is the day your parents died, right?

You don't feel any resistance to celebrate this day, the two of you?

(Parricides, get out of here!)

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, kokoro no nageki wo tsutsumazu nobete

All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. nadoka wa orosanu oeru omoni wo

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? itukushimi fukaki tomo naru iesu wa...

I am sorry that I am so late!

This is your present, I'll open it, okay?

No, it's fine. We don't have that much time.

Oh, I see. You're right.

You got your hair cut?

Yes. What do you think?

Ah, it suits you well.

You moved to Yokohama?

Yes. Well, there is this person helping me to find a job.

And besides that, I really wanted to live there once.

The ocean is close and everything is so fashionable.

I want to go there sometime, too...

Yokohama or Tokyo...

Let's do that!

When you get out of here, I will guide you around.

Until then, I will get myself informed.

Time is up.

Yes.

Do you enjoy living in Yokohama?

Onii-chan!

I found someone I like.

Is that so?

That's great.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Junior!

Won't you have dinner together with us and Mizuki tonight?

I would love to do that, but...

It is no use, Pater Yoshimichi.

Junya has Kiyoka-san waiting for him.

Is that so?

Junya-sensei!

Wah, I got it, let's go.

He is really popular.

Exactly.

And he is always turning me down.

Are you okay?

Yes.

There will surely come a time when he will turn to me.

Are you waiting for someone?

No.

Well, then let's have fun together inside.

I'm sorry, I...

I have someone I like.

I found someone I like.

Akiyama, stop it!

Onii-chan,

tonight is Christmas.

This night, I want to pray for everyone's happiness.

I pray that even people I've never met become happy.

I pray that you become happy, Onii-chan.

I pray that this man becomes happy.

Merry Christmas!

All the best, Kiyoka!

Did I surprise you?

Hey, Kiyoka...

I beg you, smile at me for a change.

It's no use... I guess, it's not funny to do the same thing twice, right?

Hey, Kiyoka.

What do I have to do to make you smile for me again?

I pray that everyone, and also my future self,

will become happy.
