Season of the Holly tree's
Lead actress Kanzaki Akane
suddenly steps down!!
The lead character in "Season of the Holly tree", Kanzaki Akane, has quit!
Another actress in the same movie...
..Ms. Sannou Yoriko has been selected to take her place.
Ah, we can see Ms. Sannou now!
Ms. Sannou!
What about the rumor of Ms. Kanzaki's quitting being your doing?
Did something happen between you and Ms. Kanzaki?
Did you have a fight actress to actress,
..or was it perhaps woman to woman?
Vulgar people like you just don't understand when you're being vulgar.
Stand back!
Just now...
..Ms. Sannou just stated, concerning this matter, that...
So that's how it is...
She's a scary woman...
I suppose...
She is a strong woman...
..with strong powers.
She'll make quite an 'opponent'...
Yoko...
Aquarian Age
Itoshisade afureru mirai wo mitsuketame
So you found a future overflowing with Love
dakia atta mamade chiisaku waratta
you smiled as we embraced
uchiyuseru shizukana kotoba no nukumori wa
the warmth of close, gentle words
sonote ni todoitte yagatte imi wo motsu
will eventually bare meaning once they reach your hand
kawarazu ni hunbari de
Constantly with perseverance
hoka ni nani mo iranai no
I don't need anything else
tada hitotsu no chikai dake ga
with only one vow
tsuyoku nandomo nandomo
Vigorously, over and over
kurikaeshite eien ni suru
repeat it and make it into forever
Remaining shadows of a Silver line
Cinema Japonais 30the anniversary Commemorating Work Season of the Holly tree
Isn't this the script for "Season of the Holly tree"?
Take a look at it.
Huh?
You see... Kanzaki Akane wasn't the only actress replaced in Season of the Holly tree.
But.. how?
It was Abuto.
Abuto recommended you.
The other bureau recommended me?
That's right.
Oh, well.
I accept.
I have to do something.
But... if we act now, we may still get Yoriko back.
Really?!
We might be able to turn her away from being the Sarasvati...
Benzaiten: Japanese Goddess of wealth, music, eloquence and water. Sarasvati: the Hindu, quite opposite counterpart.
..so she returns to being the Benzaiten and Sannou Yoriko...
..and you are the only one who can do it!
This meeting...
..what is the meaning of showing us the true appearance of Byakko?
Byakko: The White Tiger, One of the four Animal Gods
From the stage of Rock'n Roll...
..Kyota is getting closer to entering our ears.
Is Arayashiki supposed be this ignoring?
What has just happened...
..is something I will not forgive.
But, do we know if it will really appear?
To reclaim Yoriko as our leader...
You can't be serious about this!
It seems there is a problem with your ability to lead!
The other maidens have not had their ears affected.
She was only a child to begin with anyways.
I have a question for everyone.
Whether or not to use Byakko is our own decision, right?
But of course.
We cannot allow our unity to be destroyed.
Then what do you suggest we do?
To just accept this...
..and allow ourselves to be manipulated like puppets?
I will never let a thing like that happen!
It doesn't matter what you say...
..we are already being drawn into the conflict.
Wait.
We are all compatriots in Arayashiki so we shouldn't bicker amongst ourselves.
I will not forgive any leader who continues to argue.
You're referring to us as leaders?
You care far too much about Yoriko.
You are way too generous!
My position, as your leader...
..that fact alone gives me the right to do what I want.
Then, what are you saying we should do?
We need the four of us in order for Byakko to begin moving.
From now on...
..Kamikurata Kyota...
..and Sannou Yoriko...
If anyone does anything to them...
..I will not concern myself with the bickering amongst Arayashiki.
The same goes for anyone dealing with Byakko.
If anyone indeed tries anything like that,
..what passes before its eyes will immediately perish and...
..it will hold the greatest enmity against Arayashiki.
That's tyrannical!
We have to follow your plan?
Damn you...
..for always bringing us into it..!
This is a command from your leader.
I will not forgive any defiance.
If it continues like this, we're going to run out of time...
I...
What can I do..?
St-stop!
Stop it! Cut that out!
More? More, huh?
You've been loosened up by Shingo!
You have to stop practicing and relax from time to time.
Don't have such a stressed out look on your face.
Right?
Sorry.
Bam!
Those are just my complaints.
Oh, well...
Ah, my bad.
Nope.
Hey...
The injury to your head, is it fine now?
It seems to be fine, fine, fine.
You know, Kyota...
The hospital's...
..a pretty nice place.
It's like a prison, but with very, very cute girls.
And they wear those cute pink caps!
That's right, the hospitals nowadays score a perfect 10.
And then there's that one time when I was in the bath...
That time...
..a female nurse...
So then...
..why don't you stop that and start practicing?
We've already heard enough of your mellow fantasies...
Sorry, sorry.
Besides...
..you're the one who's acting all out of it.
Well, then...
..let's listen to this guy's problems.
After we do that, we'll practice.
So, how about it?
Do whatever you want.
No, it's fine.
Let's practice.
Hey, now...
..it's that, isn't it?
It's about Yoriko, isn't it?
While we sat here clueless...
..Yoriko became an untouchable icon in a movie...
..such a tragedy happened...
Not really...
That's not really what's bothering me.
It's okay, just let it out!
All right!
Stand up!
If you're going to be like that...
..you should just let it all out in a song to Yoriko.
What are you saying?
If you're going to be a man...
..you must be as skilled with women as I am.
Kiriko, more tea!
Me too!
Coming!
I managed to get myself into this office...
..but I really can't get close to Kyota like this.
Good morning!
Is Mr. Sadanamu available?
Yes. Please go on in.
You.
Bring us some tea.
Okay!
W'zup!?
Sorry for making you wait.
Long time, no see.
So, like I said...
..aren't you and I good friends?
A photo shoot with Ms. Sannou Yoriko...
..won't you let me do it?
That decision is not mine to make.
It's whether or not she wants to do it...
Can't you do something about that?
I can compensate you very well.
If it's in terms of Yoriko's situation...
..I will consider it carefully.
Most likely though, she'll refuse to exhibit herself like that.
Hey, Abuto...
Excuse me!
This girl, Heguri Kiriko, joined us recently.
You're pretty fine.
Hey, can you smile a little?
S-sure...
U-um...
Rumiko...
There is something I want to ask you.
Okay?
Mindbreakers...
..I want to know more about them.
Why?
I am a Mindbreaker.
That power exists in me.
But I...
What that power is exactly...
..and how I should use it, I am totally clueless.
That's why...
You want me to tell you how to use your powers?
For the sake of Yoko to return to the way she was.
I'm serious.
That is .. a gift...
A gift?
The ability to control people.
The power of the Mindbreakers... it is only present in chosen people.
That is how it's been since ancient times.
But, as for how you should use it...
..I have no idea.
Why is that?
You, as a Mindbreaker, only you can save Yoriko.
I see...
A gift that is only mine...
Now, only Kyota can....
It seems...
..he's full of determination, doesn't it?
The stars are about to align.
The battle is about to start, it seems.
If that's so, then the key really has to be...
..this young man.
All right!
Hello?
This is Kyota!
There's a song I'd like you to listen to.
Yeah, do you have some time?
It's fine, then?
All right!
Just a little girl who can't get what she wants...
What do you want this time?
Shut it!
The fact that you are more important than I am...
I won't accept it!
Ah...
..you mean regarding Abuto?
That's something only you are concerned about.
Why you..!
You have been thrown away by Abuto.
Cease this and accept it!
Incoming call
Kyota
How pathetic...
I'm going to tear you apart!
Someone like you... will never improve no matter how much time passes.
Damn it!
[the movie script]
"The maid walks in with the tea..."
She is a lady...
..and I am her maid, huh?
I won't loose...
..Sannou Yoriko
Tokyo Film Insitiute
Introducing...
..playing the role of the maid, Yuki Miaku...
..Hougetsu Asumi!
It's an honor to be working with you all!
Pleased to be working with you!
If everyone's ready...
..let's do this for real!
All right!
Action!
Please come in.
Excuse me for intruding.
My Lady, I've brought you the black tea.
Thank you.
Set it down over there.
Yes, My Lady.
By the way...
Yes?
My father...
..has told you to depart again, right?
Cut!
What was that?
What's wrong?
Sorry!
It was so sudden...
This won't work anymore...
Sorry.
We need to replace the lights.
When you get the light,
..get back here in a hurry.
Yes!
You are pretty good at this.
To receive such praise from Sannou Yoriko... is an honor.
Next time I'll be a little more serious about it.
I'll be looking forward to it.
This will be good material for the 'Making of...'-video.
Come look at this for a bit, please.
What?
What is that?
My Lady, I've brought you the black tea.
Thank you.
Set it down over there.
Yes, My Lady.
What was that?
What's wrong?
Somebody open up the door!
Emergency Exit
Hey! What's wrong!?
Are you okay?
Hold on!
Hey, Hougetsu!
Hey, stop that! Don't touch her!
We need to call for an ambulance!
Hey! Somebody go call from an ambulance!
That was quite fun, wasn't it?
Yoko!
I wrote a song... so will you please listen to it?
What are you talking about?
You called me out here just for that?
One song!
It's just one song, so please listen!
I'm begging you!
Well, do as you wish.
So it's ok?
It's fine, so hurry it up already.
O-okay.
That's enough!
Such a boring song...
..I can't stand listening to it any longer.
What is going on here?
I told you to stay away from Yoriko, so what are you doing?
I was just...
Entertainment. I needed a little entertainment.
It was a nauseating entertainment, though.
Yoriko, go back to the studio.
Stop that selfish attitude of yours.
Yes.
There is nothing you can do.
There are no second chances.
kokoro tadautsusu hikari
Light that simply reflects one's heart.
konnani taiyori nai nante
that it would be this unreliable
shinjitai owaranai
I want to believe it doesn't end
honto no jibun
my true self
tsunagetai ashita no sora
I want to reach for tomorrow's skies
hirogeta yume no iro sagasanai
I can't find the color of the expanded dream
sore sore ni utsushidasu mirai wa
each and every future it reflects
kiskeki wo inotte
I pray for a miracle to happen
yakusoku no sono toki wo tenisurumade
until I grasp the promised moment
kono omoi fukaku mitsumetai
I would like to look deep upon this feeling
It suddenly sprouts...
..inside the wavering heart, a prism.
The glittering blessing, under inspection becomes...
..an agonizing truth, and...
..a beautiful...
..lie.
Inside of myself...
..is a new me.
