It's so hot today.

3
00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:41,500
I need retouching done
on this old man.

4
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:46,791
Hello.

5
00:02:47,541 --> 00:02:51,375
I need a photo of myself
for a matchmaking meeting.

6
00:02:51,625 --> 00:02:54,875
No problem. I am not in a rush.

7
00:03:01,083 --> 00:03:04,333
Take my place.

8
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:57,791
A bit more please....

9
00:03:59,958 --> 00:04:02,416
Yes, even more.

10
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:08,625
Make my eyes bigger.

11
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:13,250
Sharpen the jawline.

12
00:04:15,416 --> 00:04:18,041
Get rid of the neck lines.

13
00:04:19,791 --> 00:04:22,541
Slim the waist.

14
00:04:33,875 --> 00:04:36,791
Don't show me the original.

15
00:04:47,416 --> 00:04:49,083
What?

16
00:04:49,125 --> 00:04:53,416
Did I have a mole here?

17
00:04:57,958 --> 00:05:00,750
Please remove it.

18
00:05:07,750 --> 00:05:11,708
Can you make my lips glossier?

19
00:05:12,666 --> 00:05:20,041
Yes, more...more...more...

20
00:05:39,541 --> 00:05:43,875
It's a tough job.

21
00:05:55,375 --> 00:05:56,375
Whoa.

Oh!
Did I just fall off the tree?

25
00:15:30,791 --> 00:15:34,666
I must have slipped.

26
00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:39,291
That's awful.

27
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:54,916
I'm hurt and bleeding now.

28
00:16:03,916 --> 00:16:07,708
What should I do?

29
00:16:07,750 --> 00:16:10,916
Should I go back to that place?

30
00:16:10,958 --> 00:16:13,541
...I should.

31
00:17:17,875 --> 00:17:22,291
I didn't get my photo.

32
00:17:31,458 --> 00:17:35,333
Why did you follow me?

33
00:18:29,666 --> 00:18:32,875
Thank you.

34
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:48,291
Can I ask you for a favor?

36
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:09,458

00:21:07,208 --> 00:21:08,208
Hmm.

41
00:21:09,583 --> 00:21:12,708

Do you want to see my photos?

45
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,833
I upload a photo of myself
once a day.

46
00:22:42,875 --> 00:22:45,875
So, it's titled "Today's Kyoko".

47
00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:48,083
Look at this.

48
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:53,500
I am sponsored by a natural
foods company.

49
00:22:54,125 --> 00:22:59,125
And before, I used to have
cosmetics and fashion sponsors.

50
00:23:00,541 --> 00:23:03,875
Responses and texts come
from my followers every day.

51
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,958
Do you know what "follower"
means?

52
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,208
It's someone who views
and follows my photos.

53
00:23:10,375 --> 00:23:13,375
How much is it
for the retouching?

54
00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:18,250
Let me pay you.

55
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:22,125
Take this...

56
00:23:26,416 --> 00:23:28,708
Well then,
if you won't let me pay,

57
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:31,375
let me at least treat you
to dinner.

58
00:23:33,625 --> 00:23:36,083
It's fine.

59
00:23:39,791 --> 00:23:42,458
Then let me pay you...

60
00:25:12,875 --> 00:25:15,875
This neighborhood
has everything.

61
00:25:16,750 --> 00:25:20,375
Is there anything
you want to eat?

62
00:26:01,750 --> 00:26:04,791
What do you feel like
eating tonight?

63
00:26:05,166 --> 00:26:07,416
♪ Waltz of the Flowers by
Pyotr Tchaikovsky ♪

64
00:27:20,666 --> 00:27:25,666
Hey, wait for me!

65
00:27:29,916 --> 00:27:32,875
Have you heard of
"The Nutcracker Suite"?

66
00:27:32,916 --> 00:27:36,208
Story of a girl
who combats a rat.

67
00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:40,333
At the end, the girl used a slipper
to beat the rat to death.

68
00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:42,500
It was not a cute rat.

69
00:27:42,625 --> 00:27:44,375
It was a dirty and mean one.

70
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:47,625
Like the ones you see running
around in a restaurant kitchen.

71
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:48,666
As big as this!

72
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:50,708
Have you ever seen one
this size?

73
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:53,041
Please! Not so loud here!

74
00:28:07,291 --> 00:28:10,166
Shall we dance together
with the next music?

75
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:24,083
Here is a praying mantis.

76
00:28:25,458 --> 00:28:27,875
Big eyes...

77
00:28:27,916 --> 00:28:29,958
...Sharp jawline...

78
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,916
...Long limbs...

79
00:28:32,291 --> 00:28:34,416
...If you look close,
it is so cute.

80
00:28:34,458 --> 00:28:36,375
It looks like a ballerina.

81
00:28:38,166 --> 00:28:40,583
Is this one female?

82
00:28:45,833 --> 00:28:47,458
What is happening?

83
00:28:50,375 --> 00:28:52,708
Why isn't the music
playing on time?

84
00:29:00,875 --> 00:29:03,458
Smoking is not allowed here.

85
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:07,208
And no throwing away
cigarette butts here too.

86
00:29:07,583 --> 00:29:09,791
But why isn't there
any music now?

87
00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:12,333
The plaza is now closed.

88
00:29:34,208 --> 00:29:37,875
Can I stay at your place
tonight?

89
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:49,333
Life has its ups and downs.
So let's enjoy them all!

90
00:30:49,375 --> 00:30:51,375
So beautiful Beauty!

91
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:53,750
You are always
so beautiful, Kyoko

92
00:31:25,375 --> 00:31:28,333
I'm so happy. Please
continue to support me.

93
00:32:22,166 --> 00:32:25,208
Good morning.

94
00:32:32,208 --> 00:32:37,208
Which is it, male or female?

95
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:46,416
Did you know that the males
will be eaten by the females?

96
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:24,208
Hello. Are you feeling alright?

97
00:33:38,958 --> 00:33:43,083
It's so hot again today.

98
00:33:46,916 --> 00:33:50,041
Why don't you help her a bit?

99
00:33:50,083 --> 00:33:54,500
You don't have to sleep
in the same room, right?

100
00:34:04,708 --> 00:34:07,583
Thank you.

101
00:34:17,416 --> 00:34:21,250
How many years since this store
started business?

102
00:34:21,291 --> 00:34:23,583
It's about 50 years.

103
00:34:23,625 --> 00:34:30,750
His Dad started this store in order
to raise his son all by himself.

104
00:34:37,166 --> 00:34:39,958
Photography has changed
so much since then.

105
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,875
At one time, photos were true
and could not hide any defects.

106
00:34:42,916 --> 00:34:46,916
But nowadays, everything can be
fixed and touched up instantly.

107
00:34:51,916 --> 00:34:54,750
Were the old ways better?

108
00:34:56,750 --> 00:34:58,583
Not really.

109
00:34:58,625 --> 00:35:01,250
After all,
it is more convenient now.

110
00:35:01,291 --> 00:35:07,666
And a good lie can make
people happy.

111
00:35:28,875 --> 00:35:35,416
His mother passed away
when she gave birth to him.

112
00:35:35,791 --> 00:35:41,666
Since then, he has had no chance
to meet any woman at all in his life.

113
00:36:38,833 --> 00:36:41,708
Please.

114
00:37:16,125 --> 00:37:19,958
Would you want to marry
this woman?

115
00:37:24,041 --> 00:37:27,916
Don't stop, please continue.

116
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:35,208
But you will become
a different person...

117
00:37:35,250 --> 00:37:37,875
You are a woman,
you should know.

118
00:37:37,916 --> 00:37:43,083
Myself in the photograph gives
a stronger impression than the real me.

119
00:37:43,458 --> 00:37:48,000
Even if a man thinks I am different
from my photo when we first meet,

120
00:37:48,041 --> 00:37:54,166
the man may make my true self
closer to my image in my photo.

121
00:37:55,541 --> 00:38:03,833
But that is just the man losing
his mind in physical desire for you...

122
00:38:03,875 --> 00:38:07,125
I don't mind that at all.

123
00:38:07,166 --> 00:38:11,500
I believe that myself reflected
in the eyes of others is my true self.

124
00:38:11,541 --> 00:38:17,166
If he thinks I am beautiful, I feel it,
and I am delighted and happy.

125
00:38:17,625 --> 00:38:20,125
Please continue to retouch me.

126
00:38:20,166 --> 00:38:23,916
My photo is going to become
my real self.

127
00:38:25,708 --> 00:38:28,375
No! It is the opposite.

128
00:38:28,416 --> 00:38:31,916
Reflect yourself in the photos.

129
00:38:31,958 --> 00:38:34,208
Both are the same anyway.

130
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:39,125
Because we can love ourselves
only through others' eyes.

131
00:40:52,875 --> 00:41:00,625
Which is my true self?

132
00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:17,666
What?

133
00:41:18,083 --> 00:41:20,916
Kyoko san, after long
and careful deliberation at our company,

134
00:41:21,041 --> 00:41:24,833
we have decided to terminate
our sponsorship contract with you.

135
00:41:24,875 --> 00:41:27,250
We sincerely appreciate
and thank you for

136
00:41:27,291 --> 00:41:30,000
promoting our products
for such a long time.

137
00:41:30,541 --> 00:41:31,916
But why now?

138
00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:35,666
It is because the number of your
followers has decreased substantially...

139
00:41:35,708 --> 00:41:38,666
compared to the heydays but this
unfortunately often happens.

140
00:41:38,708 --> 00:41:42,208
As time goes on,
this gap will only get wider.

141
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:43,958
The gap?

142
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,291
The gap between you,
the real Kyoko-san, and

143
00:41:46,333 --> 00:41:48,791
the Kyoko-san that
the followers are looking for.

144
00:41:48,833 --> 00:41:51,666
In order to keep attracting
more followers, you

145
00:41:51,708 --> 00:41:54,458
have to be someone
that they want you to be.

146
00:42:45,375 --> 00:42:48,375
Hey! I was invited to dinner
at your place.

147
00:42:49,083 --> 00:42:52,583
I decided to have dinner all
three of us tonight together.

148
00:42:53,625 --> 00:42:56,291
Let's eat.

149
00:43:04,375 --> 00:43:08,583
- How does it taste?
- It's delicious.

150
00:43:10,208 --> 00:43:12,250
Do you cook?

151
00:43:12,291 --> 00:43:14,416
Not much.

152
00:43:15,708 --> 00:43:17,416
Why?

153
00:43:17,458 --> 00:43:19,500
I'm not a good cook,

154
00:43:19,541 --> 00:43:22,916
besides, it's cheaper to eat out
than cook for only one person.

155
00:43:24,333 --> 00:43:26,416
Have you been single
like this all this time?

156
00:43:27,833 --> 00:43:29,458
Wife?

157
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:31,333
Yes.

158
00:43:31,375 --> 00:43:33,625
What was she like?

159
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,791
She was an honest,
sincere person.

160
00:43:39,250 --> 00:43:41,416
Do you have a child?

161
00:43:41,458 --> 00:43:43,416
Let's change the topic.

162
00:43:43,458 --> 00:43:45,458
But I want to know.

163
00:43:45,875 --> 00:43:47,791
Do you really want to know?

164
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,208
My daughter was shy and gentle.

165
00:43:55,541 --> 00:44:00,166
But she passed away
when she was only 7 years old.

166
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:05,166
She died in a traffic accident
on the way to school.

167
00:44:08,291 --> 00:44:13,375
After that, my wife and I did not have
much to talk about anymore.

168
00:44:13,416 --> 00:44:18,416
It became difficult for us
just to be together.

169
00:44:20,541 --> 00:44:25,666
Well, since then,
I became single.

170
00:44:26,916 --> 00:44:30,583
Is it possible to make up
with her?

171
00:44:31,041 --> 00:44:34,875
She soon remarried and had
another child.

172
00:44:35,250 --> 00:44:38,083
It is better for us
not to meet anymore.

173
00:44:38,125 --> 00:44:40,375
Don't you get lonely?

174
00:44:40,750 --> 00:44:42,250
Not really.

175
00:44:42,291 --> 00:44:45,458
You know, it's been
over 20 years now.

176
00:44:46,125 --> 00:44:52,000
And I get drunk and sleep
before I feel lonely.

177
00:45:56,125 --> 00:45:59,875
Which is my true self?

178
00:46:59,666 --> 00:47:02,166
You came to see me again today.

179
00:49:31,708 --> 00:49:33,833
Please continue
to retouch my picture.

180
00:49:33,875 --> 00:49:36,416
Myself in the photo will
become the true me.

181
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,166
Myself in the photograph gives

182
00:49:47,208 --> 00:49:50,000
a stronger impression
than the real me.

183
00:49:54,750 --> 00:49:57,333
If he thinks I am
beautiful, I feel it,

184
00:49:57,375 --> 00:49:59,458
and I am delighted and happy.

185
00:50:05,708 --> 00:50:07,625
We're two of a kind.

186
00:50:07,666 --> 00:50:11,500
We can only love
ourselves through others.

187
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Return it to my true self.

188
00:52:37,166 --> 00:52:41,458
This is the true me.

189
00:53:34,625 --> 00:53:37,083
This is different from before.
What happened?

190
00:53:37,125 --> 00:53:39,250
OMG! gross!
Cool!

191
00:53:39,291 --> 00:53:42,625
Still a beautiful body.

192
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,958
You are brave. You gave me courage.
This is true beauty.

193
00:55:02,583 --> 00:55:07,541
I'd like to ask you
a personal request.

194
00:55:07,583 --> 00:55:12,500
You can make a woman younger
in her photos, right?

195
00:55:12,875 --> 00:55:19,125
But can you make
a young girl age grow up?

196
00:55:25,750 --> 00:55:30,250
Can you do this for me
with the girl in this photo?

197
00:56:53,875 --> 00:56:56,833
Thank you.

198
01:03:17,541 --> 01:03:19,375
I am happy for you.

199
01:03:19,416 --> 01:03:23,083
They are telling you that the real you
is so much more beautiful.

200
01:03:38,750 --> 01:03:42,291
But what will you do
when the wound heals?

201
01:03:48,375 --> 01:03:52,250
Let's always stay beautiful.

202
01:04:03,416 --> 01:04:06,083
Does it hurt?

203
01:04:07,708 --> 01:04:11,375
No, it does not.

204
01:05:38,708 --> 01:05:41,583
Thank you.

205
01:05:42,541 --> 01:05:45,416
Now I can relax.

206
01:05:45,458 --> 01:05:49,666
It's been such a long time
since I last got a photo of myself taken.

207
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,000
See you again.

208
01:10:43,875 --> 01:10:46,541
Hi. Welcome home.

209
01:10:48,916 --> 01:10:52,583
It does not want to eat at all.

What are you doing?
It's so obscene.

214
01:15:40,041 --> 01:15:42,041
I feel sorry for you.

215
01:15:45,166 --> 01:15:48,625
You got obsessed and couldn't
see anything else around you.

216
01:15:48,666 --> 01:15:51,833
You didn't notice until
your wounds got worse.

217
01:15:51,875 --> 01:15:54,000
You are such a stupid girl.

218
01:15:54,041 --> 01:15:57,166
Stupid, stupid, stupid...

219
01:15:58,166 --> 01:16:00,125
Who are you really?

220
01:16:00,166 --> 01:16:02,833
Who, who, who...

221
01:16:04,333 --> 01:16:07,125
What are you doing?

222
01:16:07,166 --> 01:16:10,916
You can no longer be real
or fake.

223
01:16:11,291 --> 01:16:14,916
You won't be seen or be loved
by anyone anymore.

224
01:16:14,958 --> 01:16:17,791
You no longer exist.

225
01:16:17,833 --> 01:16:21,916
You got drowned in yourself
and vanished.

226
01:16:30,750 --> 01:16:35,458
Won't someone tell me who I am?

227
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:40,500
Tell me, tell me, tell me...

228
01:20:57,666 --> 01:21:00,250
Thanks to the retouched
photograph,

229
01:21:00,291 --> 01:21:03,708
I was able to encounter
a wonderful man.

230
01:21:04,375 --> 01:21:07,125
He is a doctor...

231
01:21:07,166 --> 01:21:09,916
...of plastic surgery.

232
01:21:10,291 --> 01:21:15,291
Now you can erase all my data
completely.

233
01:24:20,375 --> 01:24:23,583
It will be eaten. Poor thing.

234
01:24:36,791 --> 01:24:39,833
Don't feel sorry for it.

235
01:24:40,208 --> 01:24:44,875
Only males who are eaten by females
can experience this deepest of ecstasies...

236
01:24:44,916 --> 01:24:48,875
...in knowing that its existence
is given meaning...

237
01:24:48,916 --> 01:24:55,333
...only when it offers its body so that
the female can continue in life and creation.
