why
men and women fall in love?
have you ever thought about it?
maybe
it is because auras
different personalities or appearances
create different auras
oh, auras
December in Tokyo
auras that surround human physical bodies
a primal human instinct
I truly believe in it
yet it can not be explained by words
really fascinating
so beautiful because of its mysteriousness
you and me
are not meant for each other
but
it was the un-acceptance from other people that gelled us together
I felt it the first time I met you
Tooru
this is my son
Tooru, these are my friends come and say hello
I realised it at that very moment
nice to meet you...
a face full of music talent
you were then only 18 and now at 21
I am another 3 years older than I was
so what
it does not matter
just like this
at least
to me
you don't have to do anything for me
and there is no need to do anything for me
you said this when we first met
Mmm, do you know that
the lipstick been whipped off while eating food
can be easily made up
but lipstick been whipped off like this
can never be made up again
Newyears Eve party
you are going to celebrate it at Yoko's house, aren't you?
I am now
going to have dinner with that man
go ahead and have a shower
towels are at the usual place
this is not a pleasure
it is dependence
makes you feel too weak to even fight
love is definitely not a pleasure
it is a corruption
Tokyo Tower
Arr, Damn it
can anyone help me to park
hey you
can you park the car for me?
it is not my job
please
I have an appointment with the Veterinary Surgery upstairs
and I am already 20 minutes late
you look free
it is none of my business
you called me a damn old bitch
No, I did not say that
I honestly did not say that
You will be responsible if I knock into other cars here
Nope, I am only here part-time
really?
housewives have easy lives
Please, I am begging you
they live in happiness
thank you
this is going to cost you
I am not working for free
are you Tooru?
yes
I am Asano
Shifumi often brought your name up in conversations
saying that you are a good boy
They are a bunch of mid-age women you must be getting bored
No
try and find something to eat
Mr. Asano
- Shifumi - Hmm?
Robert, script writer
- very pleased to meet you, this is my wife - nice to meet you, this is my wife, sherry
Your husband is macho and loaded
he is also a manager
at a large supermarket
indeed, he is eligible to own a 250 square meter luxurious department
be quiet
he also has investment overseas
not allowing anyone else to get involved
some women like men like that
your son is getting more handsome
would you introduce me to him
don't be kidding, there are less and less handsome young men around now
Tooru
come here for a minute
Tooru
has it been fun for you here?
not when you are not with me.
actually wanted to go home earlier
we will be together again next year
I want you to hold my hand
no, I can't
didn't I say...
a man who would not hold a women's hand
is not a charming man
is everyone ready? it is going to be lit
Yeh...
January in Tokyo
the man in my house
does not even know how to pick a tie for himself
never taken a beer from a fridge
Oh, they really have been spoiled by you
they are not spoiled
they are useless
useless
I am not saying this is bad I hope he is like that
why?
I don't want him to do anything
so he knows that he is incapable of doing anything on his own
and would not be able to live without me
it is quite simple
just to make him feel useless
maybe he is actually useless
am I boring you?
nope, it is quite refreshing
what are you talking about
what shall we do next?
shall we go and see a film?
no, I can't
I would be in trouble if I go home too late
there are no time left today then
let's kiss and cuddle
no, I can't
I want to be with you down to the last second
I think I am going home now, I'm going to have to cook
take it
what is this?
I wanted get a gift for you
but I was not sure what to get for a young man like you
go and buy something you like
Kozi, what is the matter?
I want to point out
I came to see you because I missed you
I thought that you wanted the same thing
why
why money?
it was because you made me very happy by giving me this gift
it was the only reason, please don't be mad at me
have you been wearing that since?
Yes, even when I shower and sleep
even when you're hugged by your husband?
yes
Shifumi is a nice woman
she would phone me
at 4pm on my day off
lately it has been lonely for me
but I have never phoned her
even though I wanted to
it is an unspoken rule
waiting is actually not quite as painful as I thought...
maybe because I can't seem to find
anything better to do other than waiting
love my love
grieve my grief
before her phonecall
I would be surrounded by the love from Shifumi
and my own love
hello
Tooru, it's me
Oh, it's Kozi
do you still hold onto that same woman?
what's up?
damn it, I can't seem to see why those old men are interested in them
it was you who told me that mature women are the best
who is that?
my college mate, Hashimoto
quite a strange guy
I wanted to ask you Did Shifumi give you any money?
No
what would you do when a mature women gives you 30,000 Yen?
you become prostitute then
but I don't think Kimiko mean it like that
why 30,000 Yen?
maybe that is the sort of money a housewife has these days
what are you laughing at?
don't bother about him
he is mentally unbalanced
mentally unbalanced?
had gay sex just to get on a magazine
anyway, I did not like been handed cash
then break up with her
- why? - you still have a girlfriend
- Yuri is not an issue here - does she know what you've been up to?
- you think honesty is a good thing? - that is not what I mean
then, what does Shifumi's husband think about all this?
did he give you permission to go out with his wife?
I can understand your feelings
but there is nothing we can do
it's dying
that is why I think it should stay home with us
what do you mean it is disgusting
let it die in a Veterinary Surgery
but it is our cat
let's eat food peacefully
it was a street cat taken in by your dad
not sure you can call it our cat
get on with it
what do you mean?
is there a lethal injection thing?
Oh, if you are going to the Veterinary Surgery please give me a lift to the station
it is much easier going by car
have a good day
isn't your mom going on a trip with her friends today?
yes
well, tonight
let's...
sorry, I have just done my work
rules?
what rules?
rules for love?
what are the rules for your love?
Mmm, there are
for example, not taking any money
are there more?
not going out with women who have kids
you are in a bad mood today
it is nothing
I just killed my cat
your pet cat?
I had it put to sleep
my husband asked me to
it's my job to take care of rubbish
it was not rubbish, it was your cat
very cruel
I
don't mind being yelled at
I don't want to die the same way
not the same way!
but
there is something wrong with the car break I am terrified
I knew it would happen, even from the very beginning
the first time we met?
but I did not expect to be loved by Kozi
hey, do you want to make a snowman?
I can't, it would take too long I need to be home to cook
are you still thinking about cooking?
of course
I am a housewife
you have...
cried again
I had this problem since a young age
once I have become emotional
I would be terrified that the rich emotion would soon vanish
it's snowing
oh no, the snow is going to cover the roads
don't you like snow?
I don't like the snow in Tokyo
when it melts
it becomes filthy which upsets me
I don't know if there are any seats left upstairs
today
I want to spend today with you
Tooru, you know I love you dearly
when you are like this
yes
Mmm, I see
you know you don't smoke
I just wanted to experience what you think is pleasurable
now that you mention it
the best pleasure I felt was the passion when I was young
why did you ring reception?
sorry
my husband said he was going to take me
do you know what marriage has brought me?
I don't have to eat alone any more
is this appropriate?
didn't ask that friend of yours to come for dinner
you only care about me
you know you don't like to dine with anyone else
not necessarily
it's better than eating alone
April in Tokyo
Haven't seen you for a while
What are you doing here
Science...
...girls ain't pretty
Go back to your own university Is that how you say hello when I drop by
So you still hang out with Shifumi recently
Haven't seen her for a month
She never called
That's why you are so idle
Homecoming?
Yeah, come and get relax
I'm in charge there
How could you be the one who is in charge there
Because I have my connections and I am sophisticated -What are you talking about
Don't you forget what you did back in high school
Remember Yoshida?
Don't mention her again,please
Just wonder if those father and daughter still alive
You are so hopeless
He said that this was serious
It's a big trouble
Kozi slept with one of his classmate's mother
when he was at grade 12
Tooru, you bastard
I hope I can sleep with elder woman just like you did
What do you think about Yoshida's mother
She is pretty
Kozi really did that
What unbelievable is that
she said yes
but...
the whole story is really simple
and after that
I don't wanna talk about
Yoshida's father beat the shit out of me
and Yoshida's mother tried to commit suicide
just like TV show
It is not your turn yet
Haven't seen you guys for a while I am Kozi
Are you here to get some drinks
Hello everyone, help yourself in my place
Cool
Haven't seen you for a long time
Yeah, stop touching me
Haven't seen you for a long time
Yoshida is here
Tooru
Kozi
while, don't know you are here
I just got here
I knew this party yesterday
So you knew this before
Look like you have been pretty good
Yeah, so far
About me
I still live there
oh, is that right
Hey, how come she is here
Morning
Don't be afraid,I did nothing
How come you are here
I really appreciate that you allow me to live here
I wanna be your friend again
What?
We'd better not meet again
What?
I'm much busy than you can image
I need to study, and I got housework to do I cannot just let go
And yesterday, I had to go shopping with someone
That's why I called you this morning and told you that I want to meet you
But I just couldn't find you
Whatever! Both you and I are busy
and we don't have to maintain this relationship
Thanks
1100 Yen
Excuse me,do you have any change
Why didn't you call yesterday
Anyway,I called today
Not today,I wanted it yesterday
Here are 8000 Yen
900 Yen
I do abhor the man who cannot show up when I want to meet him
Hey,please think before you start talk
I cannot see you at the moment I want to see you
You are married
How dare you say that
I don't know what is in your mind
Get off the car
Get off the car!
What are you doing
You stupid carline!
Who you think I am
This is receipt
I don't feel that I like you
I just thought you would never call me again
You probably have forgotten
the snowing night
It's a pity...at that night
I feel the same way
but there was nothing regretable
Welcome
You can choose not to believe me
But I really like you
but that night
I'm dumbbed by you
there is no such thing between us
Are you Mr. Kozima?
yes
I've been waiting for you
Please this way
This way please
what's wrong?
me
I think I should meet you a bit sooner
en?
then I can be with you longer
I want to see when you're in high school or just turn in a grown-up
did you have a lover that time?
en? - who is it?
Tooru
No matter when I'm in high school or just grown up
I'm always in front of you
Because it's all inside my body
I'm sorry
Just a minute
Leave me alone
I
I enjoy my life
though I'm not very well-being
wether or not happy, it doesn't matter
Thank you for coming
Use this money to go home
I still want to stay a bit longer with you
Can't
I don't want to be abandoned in half way every time
Are you mad at me?
Tooru
what?
I want to borrow your office a minute
Looks in a hurry
Are you with someone?
en
haha, I understand
there is messy
I'm sorry
If you're not going home, give your mother a call
If you say you're with me, she won't be looking too good
Thanx dad
I'm going home
Just stay a bit longer
Leave in the morning, I'll take you home
I won't be able to stay till morning
No matter what reason
No way
Let's live together!
I don't want to let you go back no matter how
You make me can not go back
I'm sorry
no
You tie my throat
huh..
Tooru, what I mean is...
I..
No matter whom I lived with
I always stay with someone I loved
Don't you lie to me!
Then you can move to our house
You can't? - If you become a monk
I'm sorry
When I was little
I walked to the train station of the nearby city alone
I read my friend's book
Too engrossed
I'm not realized...
I...
I'm frightened
Because I have never seem before the view there
I'm so scared
but
I'm still
walked back
but I
Never dare to go to that station alone anymore
I'm not a super woman
so I...
Don't want to let myself alone again
but if it's with you...
I'd really love to go there once more
then let's go
arrange sometime
If you near one more step I'll call the cops
Your smell so bad don't pull me!
I'm not hurt
I really want to call the cops!
that's fine
I still decide to find a time to break up
Though I've decided, but it's not today
I still don't want to lose
this kind of relationship
Tokyo July
It's already summer
Still staying home all day?
Don't you go out for a part-time job?
because
then I can't get your phone call
song of Mara?
I've been listening all day
because you said you like it
end of the month
I'm going to the villa at the sea shore
is it?
Are you going together?
hey
Why you dressed up so soon?
Don't! It's embarrassing!
huh...
Let me go to your shop where you do part-time job next time
Aren't you coming quite often?
You teased me!
you can pick it up
it's ok, don't mind it
Kozi is quite suspicious recently
is it?
jump
ah
close your step tight!
jump
hey
when did you learn tap dance?
I don't learn other stuff anymore
now I only learn this
is this for being a good wife?
you're funny
You won't understand
the desire of a 35 years old woman
absolutely not
I bought this underwear for you
watch carefully
It's Kawano's
Her shape is getting better
the water is dripping
the smell of woman
The true face of this woman is...
devil
it's quite late
How did you get in?
You're so foolish sometimes
Didn't you realize you lose some keys?
Give me the key, you can go home now
I left home
oh, then you can go to others
come in, let's talk inside
Yoshida
Don't you let me hate you
what's wrong?
If you have something to say to me just be straight
If you want me to apologize then I will, if you want me to kneel then I'll do it too
It's already passed
To me it's like that
If you make my wish come true
then I won't bother you again
what's that?
Sleep with me once
Just once
I don't have any disease
Don't you be a bastard
Aren't you afraid?
go home, hurry
You can make love with my mom but not me? are you kidding?
actually I...
I just can't forgive my mom
Kozi
she has already got dad and me
and what is more unreasonable would be...
that man still like you now
can you believe it?
I am driven crazy now
because Yoshida is at home I can't go back
Kimiko is more dreadful too
I would be in danger if things were not changing
could you run away with me to a place unknown?
don't drag me with you
you are so cold
I have no time, so that's it
good bye
when you come back?
referred to my friend's opinion
Tooru
that clothes is not fit for you
you can dress this one and come I am so happy
what should we do now?
anything
anything what?
doesn't matter
the moon wouldn't stop moving
but it will disappear soon after day break
pretty things always vanish some day
I always
think it's better let myself vanish
there would be no tears
Sorry
because it's the first time to stay with you along
so it's what you wish to
how about you?
I want to see you either
Actually, I
have already known
your and my futures
but
I am still afraid
that you would be taken off by other girls
so I really really want to see you
and that's why I take you here
my husband comes
you first
take the clothes and shoes
hide somewhere
that's not suitable - doesn't matter
hurry
hello
please
hurry!
it's really hard to believe
this job was finished ahead of two days
yeah, right
that direactor was boring to death usually
I don't why he is so fast
oh, really?
guests?
yeah, right
it's a friend
if only one person it would be so tired
got back?
yeah, just now
it's a long time we not at home maybe had some mice
need to clean some more
hungary, let's eat something some place?
ok
now I change my suit
every thing is fine
let's call a taxi after we go out
the number is beside telephone
Tooru?
I'm so sorry
let's not go on doing this
doing this?
the time in the past really made me happy
August Tokyo
tomorrow I need to have evection for one week
you would be along in home
you mean right now?
I really can't handle it I just start my job recently
you can't go out at night, can you?
wait for tomorrow
I will wait for your contact
hang on, don't hang up
it wouldn't work if not today
so awesome
shit, but it is made too bad
first of all
you should drive her out of home
(no other meaningful topic?)
but if you get Kimiko invovled it would be difficult
so break up with Kimiko first?
it's not so simple so you feel worry about it
(heard some horrible thing about grow up woman has an affaire in Islam)
Kozi
one pizza one beverage
this evil woman
ah, Tooru long time no see
where is Kozi?
go to the stage, come back soon
ah Kozi changes his type?
who is she? - high school classmate
Kozi that kid says
he likes old women
because of influence of Tooru
what's wrong with this man?
you didn't know anything!
bullshit
you know?
if wife betrayed husband in the Islamic countries
she would be buried lively by soil under the neck
then be smashed by stones
why it would not happen in Tokyo?
Yoshida
I am ready right now
so I need say something directly
what thing? let's talk outside
I make dinner home
do my husband's favorite vegetable
what vegetable?
I hate cooking
vegetable
what ever, let's talk outside
I don't mention
pot got fire every thing burned out
all my mind became blank
the house was not burned out?
what did you say!
you are so stupid of course put out of fire
you should calm down
you calm down first and talk
my husband will come back soon cooking can't be ready
what did I do?
why changed into this?
you don't care me anymore
I don't want to be like this
I don't want to be with you like this
that's my purpose here
why you don't say anything
why you don't say anything?
why don't give your opinion at least
it's you make me into this
if I never met you
I won't be like this
so I never wanna see you any more
I see
yeah
you have your choice
you have space of choice
you have freedom to choose others
but I haven't
just because the woman like you
all of us became so unlucky
Kozi
sorry
look at that woman
I remember my mom
that's it, our shit summer
was over
how about it, am I handsome?
Kimiko can't be contacted recently
how about yours?
how about Shifumi?
don't know what Kimiko is doing now
you should forget that woman
don't say that
she's lonely actually
inspite she had husband
just realised after we broke up
the minute she and I first met
I felt her loneliness
Shifumi must be the same
so you felt it too
inspite of I felt it
who would care when you just be born
people never got hurt when they just born
that's perfect
and then hurt continuously
not until death, hurts add on and on
so what?
so life is a period of getting hurt
every one only can choose to be hurt
but still wanna rebel
especially women
November, Tokyo
Miss Shifumi, this is the last confirmation hope you could sign it
director Kozima
so fast
still one hour left
doesn't matter I am not going to take part in your party
give me a glass of Champagne
when Tooru turned 10 I broke up with his father
because it's a family of two people I cared him so much
he is one part of my body
no one could understand if she's been a mother
there's a huge market in Aoyama
go travelling to Europe anytime
really a happiness woman
from an eye of a green boy aged 21
but if without your husband you should be the one like present?
I want you to answer me
Just one question!
Since when...
Since when you started to hang out with Tooru?
3 years ago
Is that right
Is it a bit over for you to hang out with Tooru who was 18 years old
Was it a crime?
I feel really sorry
You alone, took three valueable years of my son
And now you must be sick of it
I don't really know what to say
Good evening, Miss Yoko
oh, thanks
You'd better
get your clothes changed
Hello
Haven't heard you for long time
Is this Tooru?
Where you at?
This way
Come up
Here is nice, isn't it
So quite.
As a matter of fact, I knew things between you and Shifumi long time ago
I knew it when I saw Shifumi
She was changed
Don't be fooled by her looking, she is still childish
What about you Tooru?
Slept with Shifumi make anything different?
You still don't know anything like this?
Don't be like this any more.
Shifumi is suffering
so is your mother
Please, break up
with Shifumi
You guys were over long time ago, that's why you leave me alone.
What you talking about?
Sometimes, I really want to kill you
That's it, I love her though
very much
I need her
You better figure it out
How much longer can you hang out with a woman who is 20 years older than you?
She will be 50 when you are 30
When you are 40, she will be a 60 years old granny
It is hard to decide
I am different form you
to Shifumi, she can get tons of boys like you
bullshit
Don't raise your voice
Somebody will come
Even I
kill you
right here,
Shifumi won't feel any different in her life
But if I was not there
She would not be able to feel happy
Let me make it straight,
you are just some kind
of toy, may be a expensive one, but at the end a toy to her
what are you thinking
Falling in love is
not the way to resolve problem
Please enjoy
Hi! hi!
Behave yourself
Don't touch me
I missed you so much
I am not any kind of toy
I am not your entertainment facility
Don't you forget this
You are not supposed to be here
Go back please
I don't want a wracked toy
Shifumi
yeah
Can you see Tokyo Tower from your place?
yes, I can
I can see it as well
We are both watching the same thing
from
different places.
Once I thought to get married with you
I cannot do it
I cannot expunge my memory about you
You are the place
where I have stayed for 3 years
I read the novels that you like
I listen the music that you enjoy
Now you ask me to leave, I just cannot do it
Life doesn't mean anything to me anymore
therefore
I need to leave here
Tokyo April
How you doing Tooru ?
Being a student aboard in Paris seems to be good
It is easy for young man to adapt life in different place
He is just trying to stay away from Shifumi as far as he can
Whatever! It is apart from me anyway
I really hate Shifumi
Mother always takes too much care of her son
You made a lot of trouble
Is it true that you let her go free?
Eventually, what she want is
a divorce agreement
It is really boring
What a pity about your store
That store is her elaboration
It is really cruel for you to give it up
It is so horrible
What?
Woman under this circumstance
(Divorce Agreement)
Your girlfriend's father bought
you this car, right?
No! I used my own saving to pay the down payment
You are doing good
And then I need to take care principal and interest
Anyway, don't have a girlfriend
Don't try to lie to me You are seeing someone from our high school, aren't you
What is the name?
en
Hey, give me the name
Hashimoto
Excuse me, you can get off here
Excuse me
My coat! - I'm sorry
I'd better take off
That will really disappoint Kimiko
I cannot stay that long
Mom, please say something for me by then
tell her that I like her dancing
Go, go -I feel embarrassed
what a crab
What?
Nah, nothing
Flowers are really beautiful
Excuse me
Would you mind give these flowers to Kimiko
if it wouldn't cause much trouble
Wow
...so that guy went home just like that
Unbelievable
oh
What kind of girl do you like?
Are you listening to me?
What?
What kind of girl do you like?
Let me think
She must be innocence
and warm-hearted
What the hell -What happened?
Oh, it's hurt
You did that intendedly, did you?
Sorry
I was just too excited seeing your car
I couldn't help
It wouldn't be like this if you smashed a little light
Nice car!
Just bought it?
I am sorry you have to pay for the repair
Can you tell me who that guy is -Hey, can you be quite for a second?
Where did you just showed up?
From the entertainment center
I am so glad that you came here to see my play
What did I do?
What did I do to make you treat me like this?
It's used to be me who get angered every time
Therefore, I want to see how is it like that you get angered in this final time
That makes us even
You should be a lot anger than now
and don't forgive me that easy
Oh, of course, I won't let that happen
And then you will never take the risk to date a woman who is married
yeah, are you kidding me
It is really nice
Thanks for your flower
See you
Is Kozima Tooru living here?
Who is this?
My name is Nakazono
Are you Japanese?
Yes
this is not Asano, right?
once...
Please come on in
Come on in
Thanks
Tooru went to school, not here at the moment
ok, I may just drop by later
Don't be rush to leave
just have some coffee
please
Excuse me
Tooru's mother and I are old friend
I knew about the thing between you and Tooru
Tooru's mother was pissed off
She told me that in case you came here
I should not let you two
see each other, just in case
But it turns out to be ture
So you have made up your mind
Nonetheless, I don't hate woman like this
That's the only thing I can do
There was a fictionist who said that
sweet love should not be ruined by force
And I agree
I have the same experience
Like a father with his daughter?
No
More like a couple who are fallen in love
But the age gap could not be ignored
had to break up at the end...
Is this a advice to me?
No, no
Just memory of the past
I was regreted for the breaking up later on,
because that was the happiest time in my life to be with her
You can catch metro which go straight to Tooru's school
enjoy the reunion!
Excuse me
Is there any chance that you know Kozima Tooru?
He didn't show up today
Is that right? thank you
Please wait
I will show you something
over there
Tooru draws the same face all the time
I am really glad that I saw the real person this time
He can be reached after tommorrow noon
Shifumi!
wait up!
Stand still
I wanted to go all the way from my place to the promissory place to meet you
Here you come
You have come to the station nearby
Since I don't have any other station to stop
I decide that
even you don't love me any more
I will be still in love with you
