A Mr. Aoki came to see her the other day.
She refused. She doesn't want to show her face.
No offense. You re blind so she won't mind you.
You'd be satisfied hearing her voice, wouldn�t you?
They say girls become pretty When they're in love
Is it really so? I hope it's true
You can be shy You can be bashful
But when you're in love Your eyes sparkle
Eyes meet and ignite the fire That's when love begins
Glancing each other That's when the beam flashes
Ma-me-mi-mu-me-mo Magical beam
Eyes meet and ignite the fire That's when love begins
Glancing each other That's when the beam flashes
Ma-me-mi-mu-me-mo Magical beam
The one who was running... Was that Nukui?
He's the oldest groupie, right?
For how long?
About 4 years... So is the kid in red.
The kid in red? They're grown ups. Well, we should be grateful to them.
But be careful. They can be dangerous.

- No, not yet. - No visitors allowed?
- Pardon? - No visitors allowed?
I don't know.
I'll tell you all I know at present.
At about 11: 20 last night, on the way from Odaiba
avoiding another car
her car crashed into a power terminal.
Who was driving the car?
Will she return to work?
When is it?
Don't know.
A press conference?
There are other patients here, too.
When s the P.C.?
This is a hospital.
Message to her fans.
Please leave. This is a hospital.
As I told you earlier, I don t know.
Please leave for now.
I'll tell you when I know.
You haven't...?
My daughter's not home.
She s retired. I don't think she'll see anyone.
Can't I write her a note?
Well...I guess so...Wait a minute.
Here.
Thank you.
- Can you address it to me? - Sure. Mr. Aoki, right?
- Yes. - Thanks for your support.
Wait here. She s right there.
Yes, ma'am.
Haruna.
Your fan from Tokyo has come to visit you.
I told you I'm not seeing any fans.
I don't want fans to see this face.
But this person is blind.
What?
Okay?
She s in front of you.
You're Mr. Nukui, right?
Yes.
What happened to your eyes
I thought it would be better if I hadn't been able to see.
I think my boyfriend will soon be here.
When he comes, please Leave.
I will.
Sorry for the trouble.
Smells good.
Roses are in full bloom.
Ah...I see.
Your boyfriend... He still hasn't come.
He's not coming.
So he isn't.
But it doesn't matter anymore
because recently... you come here instead.
Maybe I'll stop waiting for him.
Would you join me?
Thank you.
