Have a seat.
My name is Nozomi Yuuku
I work for Hakkaido-Radio-Events.
Sorry to call you out.
Good afternoon.
Iced coffee, please.
To tell the truth -
I'm looking for Shintani Ryuuji.
There will be a live event at Tokyo Radio Station.
And I would truly like him to return for this.
A lot has happened -
- so please take your time.
He has been in your band before,
as a guitarist of Survival Company?
I wonder if you would know anything...
After that incident happened,
he suddenly disappeared, didn't he?
When they played at Hokkaido
I was there, too.
Soon after this Furacha was disbanded, right?
Didn't he join a new band again later?
I also don't know..
Well...
You don't like to remember
you and Shintani Ryuuji's Sabakan.
I see.
Uh, so -
Just take your time..
..tomorrow..
..Sabakan plays live, right?
I'll come to watch.
I'm also a fan of Sabakan.
Your iced coffee.
That very first dream you ever had..
..do you still..
..remember?
SABAKAN - GO!
Sabakan - GO!
We are Survival-Company. Hello Everyone!
A lot of fans here.
uh.
That very first dream you ever had..
..do you still..
..remember?
My hometown Kouchi is so small,
you can't even have a dream.
Whatever would happen, I was bound for Tokyo.
A place crowded with people wherever you go.
Coming to Tokyo..
..I thought my life was waiting for me here.
Since I was twenty..
..I thought of this as my destiny.
Wada-san,..
..isn't it time already..
..they played on a bigger stage?
It's still too fast, don't you think?
They might not be confident..
.. let them grow a little more.
Looking for a job I soon started in this bar.
I joined a band.
We are still playing in a small house -
Cheers!
.. but many people come. - And I've made good friends.
It wasn't really a fairy-tale,
but nothing bad happened.
I really was happy.
Now..
..and from here starts..
our fashion-conscious liquor-store "Yume No Kura"..
..chief's ceremony.
Old boss Sasagawa Kazuo..
..New boss Sasagawa Keitaro..
..cheer's to them!
Cheers!
Thanks, everybody.
Do your best!
It will be hard, I think. But
there's one thing:
To become a good couple,
you have to adjust to each other.
That's so lame.
Isn't it really?
If I had known about the trouble before,
I wouldn't have married him.
Ryoko-chan, think about it - while you still can!
Think about it...
Well, but I think you will be okay, right?
Do your best.
I will.
Hang in there...
Where's Hirono-chan?
I haven't seen her lately.
Lately, she's taking a lot of breaks.
- Ryoko - you had no contact? - Nope.
Aren't you worried?
Of course I'm a bit worried.
Just give her a call!
I'm not a stalker!
Worrying might not be necessary.
If your so worried about Hirono..
..just call her yourself.
That's it.
Women are so cold...
Their feelings are so superficial..
..worrying theirselves is so troublesome..
..so you have to worry for them!
You're right!
That's what girls are...
Hello! Here's the fashion-conscious liquorshop "Yume No Kura" in Shimokitazawa.
Hello?
What?
Hirono!
Hirono, are you there?
Are you really acquainted?
Lately there are so many crooks.
That's true.
Hurry up, we're really her friends!
Hirono - are you okay?
I'm getting an ambulance.
I...
What happened?
I don't want to die.
I'm not ready to die yet.
What are you babbling?
He's calling an ambulance..
..it'll be here soon.
I..
..don't want to die yet!
HIRONO!
I'm sure it's malnutrition.
She's anemic because she didn't eat.
With rest and food she'll be okay.
Looks like she hungered too much.
Because of hunger?
Anemia?
No fever, that's okay.
Hope you feel better soon!
That Italian food is really great!
You tried to attempt suicide by starvation?
Aren't you embarrassed at all?
But..
..I was afraid he would leave me..
..so I thought..
..if I wouldn't eat for 100 hours..
..he might return and see his mistake.
Kid!
No wonder the guys are dumping you...
Senpai hasn't come back yet?
If it doesn't work out, you could come to me.
You have no intention of going back, right?
He's a fake.
Just because of money..
..he tagged along with Hirono.
That long-yearned-for-senpai.
I knew he was a failure..
..right the moment I saw him. He's a gypsy.
What's that?
A gypsy -
- always wandering around.
Like those men in ancient times..
You know,..
..those men just can't stay long at one place..
..whenever..
.. something comes up, they rush off.
They even believe they are great.
But when I think about it now..
.. all of them let her do the chores.
You say they all deceived her?
Isn't it obvious? That's Hirono for you.
She always volunteers, right?
Isn't it good we came?
It was my first time today..
..riding an ambulance!
Eat - come on, eat!
That youngster is scary.
But aren't you too?
Isn't it a time you always keep repeating:
"Men are all the same"! ? And suddenly getting married soon.
Everyone makes this decision without thinking.
Half of this is your fault.
What's that?
Why is it my fault?
When I wanted to break up with Keitaro..
..it was you giving me a lecture:
One day you will regret this, and I won't listen to your complaints!
You really lectured me.
I did.
And he also doesn't come back...
-- Oyster-Records --
Oy!
Wada-san. Hello!
Let's make your debut!
Don't want to?
No, no, no...
What?
Which is it?
We'll do it. Let us do it!
That's your budget.
We'll use it to rent the right place.
The right place?
One
Ten
Hundred
Thousand
Ten thousand
Hundred thousand
637,902 Yen.
That's quite not enough.
We have to promote it as well.
In short: we have to run around..
..and talk to the press.
That'll make Oyster-Records known, too.
What?
No confidence?
No.
We are confident.
We are.
We a..
..re.
Listen,
We got six songs.
Should we write a new song?
We have to make 6 more songs.
You decided?
For a record you need 12 songs.
I see.
12 songs?
That's difficult.
Before that - let's re-arrange what we have.
You all realize that Ryuuji's guitar-play is missing.
It's long ago now..
..we should get Rei's songs straight.
That's not it!
Stay cool.
What? It's your work now - playing guitar!
Right!
Let's re-arrange.
- and a new song?
Ah - let's have ramen!
Is it ramen again?
What is it?
At our wedding I'll have 33 guests.
This place is the best.
How Pretty!
Look!
What a wonderful wedding-dress.
That's nice!
I'd love to have one like this...
Where can we find the wedding-dresses?
It's over there.
I have no intention of leaving Tokyo.
When I decided to marry
I definitely knew nothing about it
And also
He did it behind my back
I can understand that.
Then...
I was always working hard.
My mother hasnt told me anything since i was little.
Do you think
They can do THIS to me?
I can understand that.
My work, aswell, He wanted me to quit.
Now He has been laid off instead.
I can't take it anymore[That's the premarital blues!]
Say, Keitaro..
..do you remember when we first met?
eh...
At that time when I was listening to nobody..
..but Rei and Hirono..
..opened my eyes.
I thought there wouldn't be love for me.
uh...
Don't you remember?
Well, I do. I know.
And what about it?
Show me the dresses.
Dress?
Of course!
You can look as much as you like -..
..- good I took those pictures -..
.. since we can't afford one.
What?
What about the Wedding-Ceremony?
We'll have one, won't we?
That's what I mean..
..if we do all this..
..we'd have to live off social welfare.
So for the wedding..
..let's just have a small party with friends.
What about the honeymoon?
Where do we go?
You know,..
..since I've become the boss..
I shouldn't abandon the bar.
That's unbelievable.
That's really - unbelievable!
Why marry then?
The wedding-ceremony
is a must.
The honeymoon is a must.
Hold your horses.
You've also become the boss.
Just wait a little longer.
Oh no!
Well,
you should know that.
When we are settled..
..we can still go.
They're from Hokkaido Radio Station:
Nozomi Yuuku and his assistant Kaneko-san.
They've heard you and like to talk to you.
They are Sabakan.
Yoroshiku.
Thanks for the last time.
I watched your performance.
Thanks.
Sit down.
What does he mean?
Nothing, really.
That means?
That's the tape from Hokkaido. I thought you'd like to watch.
Thank you very much.
Menu, please.
You have 30 minutes.
That's about 6 songs.
What will it be?
'Friends' and 'Yumekui'..
Ryuuji's songs might be good.
That's what I thought.
That's great..
..those are my favorites.
It's decided.
What is it?
You'll be Sabakan's singer!
Uh?
Why should I be Sabakan's singer?
Because I like your voice.
I like your voice.
I made it for you..
I was thinking about you, and that wonderful..
..voice of yours, when I made it.
I want to make the lyrics to my music.
You also want to write your own lyrics.
So it's better we are in different bands.
Wait - just...
We better break up.
You're not doing it right!
Please visit our performance.
Welcome home!
Senpai!
You're not coming home for weeks!
I was so lonely!
Sorry.
I was lonely, too.
Really?
Really!
Really really?
Really really really!
Truly?
What are you doing?
I had no boyfriend for 3 weeks...
Well, uh...
..just.. wait..
STOP
Well,
you shouldn't barge in when someone is showering.
I couldn't wait for hours.
Just lock the door then. That's the basics!
And what's the fuzz about?
Hi, princess!
In their appartment the shower broke down.
Thanks...
You're welcome.
I brought he posters!
Why are you dressed like that?
Don't mind!
!!!
Our new play will be out..
on 3rd August we are performing in that famous place!
'Romeo and Little Red Riding Hood', what d'you think?
By the way: WHO ARE YOU?
She?
She's a new member of our group,..
she just joined.
- Yes. - Kennichi's fan also...
What!!
I'm not!
Don't misunderstand!
I'm Ueno. Hi.
Okay already - sit!
Ueno - you really annoy me.
Here is your tomato-ramen!
Senpai makes me angry!
Angry - you should have known that!
I knew. But he brought another woman!
That was to be expected, don't you think?
So, where's he now?
Practicing a new act in my room.
It's called 'Romeo And The Red Panties'.
Can I have more?
Hirono-chan that's your 3rd!
Well, thanks a lot for your opening-present, but...
Congratulations!
Thanks.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
But Ryoko-chan..
.. 'Yume No Kura' is doing well, right?
It is.
Why'd you ask?
Well. since I know my little brother..
..somehow I'm worried about Keitaro.
You want to come back?
I'm a gypsy.
I like wandering around.
I hate that!
Eh?
Always wandering - I hate it!
Come here for a moment!
Wait - Yoshie, you misunderstood...
She's great - Yoshie-san..
When I think about it..
..I'm disappointed in Kennichi.
I should give him a scolding -
- if I only could do that once.
What shall I do from now on?
I'm also..
..wavering. Should I get married?
Shouldn't I get married? I'm thinking...
What's this? Wasn't that your goal? To get married?
Kid!
What?
If I was that young,..
.. I could handle well both sides:
Becoming the person I want to be.
Finding a great love and a good man.
For the both of you, it turns out good..
..whichever side you choose.
But for me somehow..
..both sides are bound to fail.
How's Maki-chan doing?
She's studying abroad, together with a man..
who would've thought of that?
Do you remember?
"I don't know what I want to do, but I'm doing it"
Then she drove us to the beach.
That time...
But when I think about it today,
us four girls going there was great!
Those were good times.
But now it seems impossible...
Let's go?
Beach!
Let's go!
Why did you call me in the middle of the night?
We ate tomato-ramen, you know.
Tomato-ramen?
What are you talking about...
I like the beach.
Senpai is an idiot.
What's that?
You try it, too.
No way.
This feels great.
1 - 2 - shout
I want to stop pondering.
Senpai makes me furious.
I want to make a decision.
That feels good.
I want to see Ryuuji!
ah..
..I'm relieved.
I'm back!
Senpai?
(I've found a cheap appartment and moved. Satomi Kennichi)
Gather!
Well, let me introduce..
You start...
I'm Okimori Kenji.
I work in a museum.
I'm Kono. Nice to meet you.
Kobayashi Yumi.
Satou Megumi. I'm the accountant.
Miyamoto Yuki.
Izukawa Shuji.
Sakamoto Minoru.
I'm Ishikawa.
I'm Sanada Samichi.
And she is our new member...
I'm Hayama Hirono.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome.
She is also a writer.
That's our next play.
If you have any questions...
Next play?
It's just a scribbled idea.
Shut up!
What to do..
..we haven't exactly decided yet.
Can't be helped since I'm not good at writing.
Seems lucky you have joined us...
Just have a look first.
Let's start.
-- The Juliet-Syndrome --
start at no2
Megumi
---
I'm in love!
--- I'm in love!
Now the last Juliet - Hirono...
Yes.
---
I'm in love!
That's that.
We're starting from here.
That's why I called you.
So first of all..
..go in!
Hi!
Here's a little bit...
Is it okay for me to watch?
And right now we are to begin..
the wedding-party for Keitaro-san and Ryoko-san.
I'm your host Nagase Mitsuo. Cheers!
Cheers!
Congratulations!
You're so pretty!
Keitaro-san!
Let's eat!
The preparation is done.
Everybody enjoy!
That's fantastic. Boss, did you prepare that?
I wanted to have a french restaurant in the first place.
Fortune Of The Sea Consomme Jelly. Lobster Thermidor. Chateaubriand.
Perfect!
What's this?
You can see these at celebrity receptions, right?
You asked for that, didn't you?
Next is the honeymoon.
Are you really going?
Of course I am.
If I don't it would be like I didn't get married. It naturally comes in a bundle.
But going on a honeymoon by yourself...
You're going alone?
It can't be helped. He can't take a vacation since he's a bar owner now.
That's true, but...
But New York is dangerous.
It'll be fine. Maki's over there.
Talking about that: Maki sent something.
!!! Wow!
Ryoko!
A letter!
Ryoko and Keitaro. Congratulations on your wedding.
Ryoko, I wanted to see you in your wedding dress.
Send me the pictures.
I've gotten used to living in New York.
My English is still poor,
but I'm managing to communicate somehow.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on your honeymoon.
See?
By the way, yesterday..
..I met Ryuuji in the East Village.
I didn't actually meet him, though.
And I lost sight of him quickly.
If I find out anything else, I'll contact you.
Today, enjoy yourselves for me too. Bye-bye.
I see..
.. Ryuuji is in New York.
Ryuuji.
Let's not talk about him.
It's always 'Ryuuji, Ryuuji'.
He left Sabakan because he wanted.
We have nothing to do with him anymore.
Nobody cares where he is.
Sorry you had to meet me here.
I'm sorry I called you while you are busy.
Thanks for this.
And - Ryuuji is in New York, as I heard.
Since you were looking for him, I wanted to tell you.
I wasn't really looking for him.
I was looking for his band.
That's why I thought of you today.
I guess, Sabakan has become your band.
Can you imagine singing in this place?
Next month in this place..
..I'll come here with bands from Hokkaido for a concert.
I don't know if you want to participate,
but the real rock-bands are going to play then.
I've never thought about such things.
Lately even Indies -
- like you playing just for fun - have become big.
That's not a bad thing.
We've always been supporting small groups.
But then..
..I often feel guilt.
When they finally come here..
..and see the big stage..
..they are terribly frightened.
They eventually quit music.
It takes a lot of strength to continue from this point.
Are you sure about it?
Good job, everyone.
You pulled it off, again.
Thank you!
Let's start the meeting.
Thanks for coming.
Give this to Maki.
She wanted to see this.
Ticket to New York.
I've changed it to your name.
When you get in trouble, "Easy English Conversation".
Go after him.
I can't. Right now the band...
Forget them.
Ryuuji..
..he told me he was scared.
More than how big the debut was growing...
He was afraid what would happen to himself if they didn't succeed.
He said he was scared.
If you don't find him now,..
..he'll definitely be no good.
But I...
I don't like it.
I don't want to look at you, when you come to regret it.
This week will be like a stroll.
Starting next week we have to visit FM and the press.
We're preparing a color page article for next month.
- Color? - You're ten years too early for that!
And about the route..
..after Hokkaido let's hit Kyushu.
Kyushu!
I'm..
..going to New York.
New York? That's impossible.now.
I'm going to meet Ryuuji.
What about the band?
Do you abandon them?
I don't.
I'll return immediately.
Once I've found Ryuuji and given him one solid punch, I'll return.
I will definitely be back.
Let's proceed with the meeting...
Wada-san, Shirakawa-san, we're asking you too.
We'll cover for Rei.
Please. Let her go!
Say, Ryuuji,..
..the very first dream you ever had..
..do you still remember?
Someone do something about him.
Mitsuo - do something about him.
Why me?
It's always 'Ryuuji', 'Ryuuji'..
..noboby thinks of us..
..I've had it.
Is that so.
I could hit him.
I really want to hit him.
He had it always his way.
Since childhood he had it his way.
I'll go to New York, too.
I'll go to New York and beat him up!
No time for that, we gotta practice!
Maki-chan!
Rei-chan!
I found you!
Come in.
Have a seat.
That's a wonderful room.
It's okay, I guess.
Doesn't look like an artist's room though.
It is nice you came over.
Sorry for troubling you.
It is a long ride, isn't it?
You're right.
I was Ryoko-chan expecting, instead you came on the honeymoon.
Everyone is sending greetings.
And then..
about Ryuuji...
We were on our way to a new club..
..that recently opened.
I saw him over there, alone walking across the street.
I couldn't call him, but it was Ryuuji for sure.
Here is a place..
..where he might have been.
Many Japanese live here.
Excuse me.
Do you know Shintani Ryuuji?
That's him.
Sorry, I've never seen him.
Aren't you hungry?
Let's sit here.
After that we can look at the Live-Houses.
You're right, he might play there.
Here it is.
We can look for him downtown tomorrow.
Since I was 4 I thought I was Juliet. Going to Disneyland, I felt like coming home.
Oy! That was too much. Great, but too much.
Megumi, you're late!
A friend just called me..
..from 3rd of August there's one week..
..and we might be able to get the Suzunari-Stage!
Another group cancelled their reservation.
And they are looking for someone to perform then.
You mean Suzunari-Theater near Shimokitazawa Station?
That's quite good luck, isn't it?
So if we want it, we have to deposit 1.000.000Yen until tomoroow afternoon.
1.000.000Yen? Then it's impossible.
It'd be hard enough to raise 100.000Yen.
3rd of August?
From 3rd of August for one week?
Our new play will be out..
..on 3rd August we are performing in that famous place!
Let's do it!
I'll give 300.000Yen.
Let's go for it.
Okay - shall we do it?
Yeah!
Hirono-chan looks fine.
She joined a new theatre-group.
But when I look at those two..
..it's quite depressing.
Because Rei isn't here.
Makes sense.
Wada-san!
Here you go.
You came to look for Rei?
Stupid.
We still have a lot of work to do. That's where you will play.
Rock a wave?
at zepp Tokyo
Rei will surely come back in time.
Yes.
That's strong!
If you meet him - what will you do?
He's very different from the Ryuuji you used to know.
I shouldn't say this, but..
when he couldn't debut and came here..
He didn't tell you anything, right?
He just disappeared.
But I still want to meet him.
