I would rather seppuku than get married!
If Takakura-sensei's project falls through,
you will marry Genouzono Reiko.
The movie script I gave you, was it submitted as Takakura Yuuji's script?
I have never done anything not sincere when it comes to movie production.
This script wasn't written by Takakura Yuuji.
It was written by a novice writer named Haruno Yuki.
Please return this script.
For rubbish such as this!
Not giving this script to a person like you who doesn't understand its value was correct.
Good work! - Good work!
Thank goodness, it was a great success. It's all thanks to you, Hamu-tan.
I'm so glad! - Oh, thank goodness!
Yes.
Hm? - Oh yes, yes.
The president left that just now.
Itadakimasu.
Good morning.
Aniki. What are you trying to do?
If we lose the contract with Nippon Eiga, the company can't go on.
The president won't... - Let's keep discussion of work at the company.
Thanks for the food.
So beautiful. - What is?
Yuki-chan. - Is that so?
What do you mean "is that so", she was totally gorgeous.
Well with the makeup and styling of a pro,
anybody will look beautiful.
Aniki. I'm thinking of asking Yuki-chan out for dinner.
Why do you need my permission?
Well, you know, she's an employee in our company.
Go right ahead.
You haven't asked for permission until now, have you?
Then, I'll invite her tonight.
Hey, your flight today is cancelled, right?
You can rest well all day.
Ah, thanks for the food. - Yup.
Yup.
The thing called marriage, opposite to getting a fever, starts with getting hot, and ends with chills. - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
What do you mean the contract is cancelled?
Ruining the credence of Kinema Etoile,
that your father has built over long years?
I will take responsibility for everything. I will not make any excuses.
I'm sorry.
In that case, I will have you take responsibility.
Propose to Reiko-san.
Today. Immediately. Right now. - Eh? Right now?
Commit seppuku immediately. Hello? It's Akiko.
It seems that Mamoru-san has something to say to you.
Reiko-san? It's Hoshino Mamoru.
Thank you for the delicious meal the previous time.
And, also, umm...
Reiko-san. Come to Mamoru's apartment this evening at 7, okay?
It seems that he has something important to say.
Do your duty well. Understood?
President Mamoru has behaved horribly rudely.
I truly apologize.
Really, his words were terrible.
As if I can't read a script.
He kept talking as if I can't read words!
Did our president say such inappropriate things?
Good morning. It was really terrible.
And besides,
that script is, you know?
Umm... What was it? Umm....
Is Chief Mizushima trying to say something like this?
"No matter what kind of artist's work it is,
in the end, if it doesn't make profit, there is no point.
Aren't you mixing up self satisfaction with business?"
Is this what you meant to say? - Good morning.
Ah, good morning. - Good morning.
That's it. That's what I was saying.
So, with you company... - You don't want to make business
deals with us anymore, and you don't want to be involved in any way at all.
Isn't that so? - That's how it is.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Nevertheless, Chief Mizushima.
Even though it is a selfish request,
I would like to continue our relationship even from now on.
For me, and for Kinema Etoile,
Nihon Eiga is a company that is absolutely necessary.
Chief Mizushima's anger is completely justified.
Our side is completely at fault. But still, is it possible to,
end your anger and forgive us?
Hmm.. I see. For example -
For example, is it something like this?
Of course it won't do to forgive right away.
Since we have done such terrible things. Which is why,
for a year or half a year from now on, you can observe our work ethic,
and decide whether to continue relations with us or not.
Did you mean to express something like this?
That's right. Let's go with that.
Can't be helped. - Thank you so much.
Manager Hoshino. You should become the president.
You're better suited for the role of the business leader.
No, no. - Don't you think so too?
No... - Chief Mizushima!
Oh. - Good morning.
Good morning. - Long time no see!
Hahaha. Yumiko-chan, you're cute.
Thank you so much. - Ah, hang on, Yumiko-chan.
Yes? - I have a request from you.
Yes. - My daughter's friend, you see?
Yes. - Was wanting Yumiko-chan's sign...
Where's the remote control? Hatsuki!
Yes. - Where's the remote?
Should be there... - It's not.
We can't watch the TV if there's no remote.
Yes.
Propose to Reiko-san.
Oh my, Mamoru-san, is it an engagement ring?
Ah, but, if you were going to give an engagement ring,
actually rather than today, there were better days to do so.
Considering our compatibility, if it's within this season...
President?
President.
Ah.
So, can you make a chart of
characters in this book?
Ah, okay. When do you need it?
As soon as you can, please. - Got it.
Excuse me.
Alright.
Um... The script.
Oh, that. - Thank you very much.
I just did the obvious thing.
This is the script that you said was completely terrible.
But I still want to improve it.
Would you take a look at it again?
That's fine. - Thank you so much.
Good work. - Good work.
Good work. - Oh, good morning.
If you have some time today, would you like to have a meal together?
Where do you want to go? - Ah, well.
I feel like eating something spicy today.
I'm so sorry. I will check it right away,
and have it sent over. - Good morning.
Yes. I'm sorry.
Ah... This is bad. - Hey, Haru-
Are you still not finished?
If you have enough time to be asking the president advice about your script,
do your job properly. - I'm sorry.
Oh and. Here, this.
Make a chart of this book's characters by tomorrow morning.
Huh? Right now?
Kawagoe-san, the president asked me to do that.
Hosoi, you have other things to do, don't you? Haruno, you do this.
No but, right now... - Right now.
Getting hot over the sensation of spiciness,
getting sweaty, like you want to take off your clothes.
Then, let me know when you decide. - Eh?
Kawagoe-kun. - Ah, manager.
Can I borrow Yuki-chan for a bit?
I have something to ask of her. - No, well, um...
Will it be difficult? - Ah, no no no.
Oh, that's right. I heard about it on the Suzuka team's set.
When the bring in caused problems,
you were able to negotiate it over? Kawagoe-kun, your reputation on the set
seems to be that of a good organizer. - Ah, thank you.
I guess those who can do their job well are good at using people.
Those below you also trust you, you're fast with your work too.
Do well from now on too. I expect good things from you.
Thank you. - With that being said, thanks.
Yuki-chan, let's go. - Ah, wait.
Hey, hurry. Go, go.
I wonder if Kawagoe-san is mad? - It's okay.
That kind of person knows it well. You can change your interaction by looking at someone.
Appear strong to the weak. Weak to the strong.
He resembles me. - No he doesn't!
He's just the same.
Stop! - Darling!
Yes. - Mamoru-san~
Ah, Mamoru-san, it's open.
Ah, it's already this late. - You were sleeping until this hour??
I have a guest coming in right now.
Leave right now, please, hurry.
Wait, I'm saying, hurry up and leave!
Okay. - Hurry, hurry, hurry. Leave!
Ah, okay.
Hang on a second. Actually, don't leave.
Eh? - Don't leave. Wait a minute.
Thanks for that time, acting as Kanzaki's substitute.
Not at all, I just came in, not even knowing what I was doing.
You were beautiful.
No, not at all.
Here's the menu. - Thank you.
Um.. - Hm?
What did you want to talk to me about? - Oh, that?
I lied. - Eh?
Well, I thought you might be stressed from being bullied by Kawagoe.
I thought I'd give you a breather.
This is the manager's job too, right?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I just wanted to get some food.
Yuki-chan. You can order anything you like.
Okay.
Huh? There are no prices written in this menu.
So that if Yuki-chan orders lots of expensive things,
I can just change them with cheaper ones.
Then it's already decided from the beginning,
what I can and can't get. - I'm just kidding.
Then... Lamb.
That's okay.
Do you have any particular preferences? - Ah, it's fine.
We'll have foie gras poêlé...
Would you like to order? - I'm still deciding.
It's delicious!
Say, what kind of movies do women
around Yuki-chan's age like to watch? - Eh?
Well, I'm quite biased, but,
there were some movies I liked recently,
"Laurence Anyways" or "Eames: The Architect and the Painter".
Oh, and "Searching for Sugar Man".
Sorry, I haven't seen any of them.
It's okay.
But I guess my favorite one is "Ajisai".
If it wasn't for Ajisai, I wouldn't be here right now.
Heee~ Well, unfortunately,
I don't really get what's so good about Ajisai.
Aniki also said it's his favorite movie, though.
I have the same tastes as yamata no orochi after all, huh.
Yamata no orochi? - Ah.
This is a secret okay?
When I was working as a housekeeper in the president's house,
there was a naked woman.
She said that the president is a "yamata no orochi"
who has about eight girlfriends.
I was so surprised.
But, you definitely can't tell anyone!
Hahahaha... - Eh?
Hey, you really can't say anything!
You're laughing too much!
That's me, you know, me. - Eh?
The woman you met one someone I brought into the house.
Actually I got divorced and the house was taken away,
so I'm living with aniki for now.
There's no way aniki would be able to play around with women.
Ah, was that the case? I've really misunderstood.
But the manager is really strange. - Hm?
Wouldn't you normally hide such a thing?
Well it would be found out anyway.
I guess it's better than being weirdly hidden.
Yamata no orochi. Hahaha.
Dear guest, your order?
I told you to wait.
Good evening. - Come in.
What is this formal invitation for a talk? It's so exciting...
Um. This person is?
My... This. (T/N: He's trying to imply lover.)
How did the two of you meet?
In a New York flight.
Actually, I have lots of other women too.
I'm the type that can't be satisfied with just one woman.
That is magnificent, Mamoru-san! - Eh?
A real man should have one or two -
No. Three or four women, right?
Especially in a position where you're burdened with the responsibility for an entire company.
My father was also like that.
Please take good care of Mamoru-san.
I will do my best, but you should do your best too.
But will you promise me one thing?
Don't have any children. Only that is forbidden!
What an interesting person. - What are you saying?
You're the interesting one for living your life in such a manly manner!
I'm home. - Welcome back.
Food? - I already ate.
With who? - The manager.
Eh? You mean you were asked out?
Is he interested in you? - There's no way that would happen.
How was it? Was it fun?
Yeah. You know the type.
If someone was telling you, it would seem like a really annoying person,
and it would be the type of thing to really annoy you, but,
somehow you don't really mind or find it annoying at all.
Oh, by the way, about yamata no orochi,
apparently it was the manager. - Eh?
And the manager was laughing to himself,
saying like "oh yeah that's me".
Isn't that weird? Normally you would hide it right?
Yuki, are you actually interested in the manager?
What are you saying, there's no such thing.
Hmm....
I think there's something on the manager's side, too.
Eh?
Showing your bad points honestly,
usually means that this time it's serious!
No, no, there's no way!
I'm home.
Aniki?
Susumu.
Do you know the phrase "personal space"?
What?
When a person is dealing with someone else,
unconsciously, they will leave a physical distance,
and try to protect the space around them.
American cultural anthropologist Edward Hall has defined this
space as the "personal space".
Speaking of, this personal space,
differs from person to person depending on factors such as gender and race;
for example in Northern European countries such as Finland and Sweden,
when waiting for a bus at the bus stop, it seems that they leave a space of few meters
between themselves and the people around them. Incidentally, my personal space is,
twice that of Northern Europeans.
Ah. Was I too close?
Hey. - Good morning.
Remote. - Can't find it.
We're sorry. - What is this?
I wonder where those two went after all.
How would I know. - Good morning.
Ah, she's here. - Good morning.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Kawagoe-san, um, the character chart from yesterday,
should I do it now? - Oh, that's already been done.
Eh? Did you do it? - I did.
Ah. I'm sorry.
Hey. Where did you go yesterday?
Yesterday? Oh, um, some restaurant called Neve.
Neve? I haven't even been there before.
Nevermind that, did the manager say anything about me?
Eh? Like what? - Anything at all.
Ummm...
"He resembles me" - Eh?
"He resembles me" - Yes.
No you don't. - Are you serious?
I am. - Ah, will I be the successor?
Ah, Yuki-chan, if he says something again, tell me okay?
You're not like him at all. You're not.
Would you like more water?
$467,300？
I already paid the other day, right? - It is lost profit.
Lost profit?
If my client hadn't married you,
it is the sum that she would have earned during that time.
$467,300. $467,300.
Remote. - We still can't find it.
Let's just ask the electronics store.
No, definitely no.
Good work.
Manager! - Ah, did you decide where you want to go?
Ah...
What happened? How rare to see you in the office.
Long time no see. Where is Mamoru?
Ah, he's probably with the investors.
Are you aware of the incident where Mamoru
angered Nippon Eiga's Chief Mizushima?
If that's what you're concerned about, I already made amends with him.
I think it will be okay. - Oh, is that so?
Yes. - As expected of Susumu.
I was actually opposed to it when your father
wanted to give the company to Mamoru.
Just because he's the eldest son,
there's no need to fuss over things like that.
Ever since the two of you were kids,
everyone was aware that you were the
brighter between you two.
Susumu. Kinema Etoile exists thanks to you.
So work hard. - I understand.
Hello. - I had some questions about your script,
which is why I'm calling.
The line in page 3. The office...
Does it absolutely have to be an office?
Ah, I made it!
The office in page 3.
No, it can be a different place too.
Okay, got it.
What's that about?
Sorry, Saori. - No problem.
Anyway, Yuki. How was the manager today?
What about him? - It's the day after your first date!
I'm telling you it's not like that.
That's it. - Eh?
He's the yamata no orochi, right? Normally isn't it given that something would happen?
Nothing happening is actually,
proof that it's different from all the other women he's been seeing until now!
What are you talking about?
Again?
The empty place on page 26.
What kind of place did you imagine?
Um, I don't have a script with me right now.
It's your imagination, you should be able to know without the script, right?
Um. Behind the shopping district in Asagaya...
Hmm, Asagaya? Okay.
Hm, Asagaya, huh?
What is it? Everything okay? - Yeah, it's okay.
I'm sorry. - Can't help it. Ok, ok.
See you. - Yeah.
Yes. Yes. Umm...
Hm? Hm.
Yes. Um, that was...
Yes.
Um, that is. Um, yes.
So basically the setup is that,
this Haruka and Yuuya are living in the neighborhood around Asagaya?
Um, no, well, it's not the case that
I'm fixated on it being in Asagaya.
To Azabu please. - Yes.
Um, Kouenji is also okay. - Kouenji?
No, Azabu. - Azabu?
No, Kouenji is okay too. - Which one?
Ah, to Azabu, please.
Um, it can be Asagaya, or Kichioji, or Kouenji,
that's the type of feeling.
Shimokitazawa might be okay too. - Hm, I see.
So a place of subculture, then.
So this Yuuya being an actor, what were you imagining for the role?
Um, it's not written there, but,
those two had some trouble in the past.
The conversation on page 10... - Excuse me.
It's supposed to be foreshadowing for the scene on page 60, right?
Um, that...
Hello? Hello? - Eh? Ah, yes, that's right.
The recollection of the foreshadowing on page 62,
isn't it too late by then?
If you don't do it sooner the audience will forget about it.
Putting the foreshadowing among the lines in page 35, or
doing the recollection earlier would be better. What do you think?
Um. As expected,
if you're going to be so detailed, I have to see the script.
Then I'll say it again,
Putting the foreshadowing among the lines in page 35, or
doing the recollection earlier would be better.
What do you think?
Um, does it have to be from here?
If I'm sitting here, there's no point to me having come at all.
Let me see the script.
Indeed, it would be solved easily by putting it
in page 35, but I feel like that wouldn't work out very well.
Then, the recollection needs to be earlier.
Ah, that's wrong. Um, it's here.
Here. And then, here.
This reminiscence scene should happen in real time.
But if you run it in real time, the movie time will...
Let's think about that after the whole thing has been completed.
There are also many useless scenes.
Many other scenes have to be rewritten completely.
Didn't I tell you? The organization is all wrong.
That may be, but...
I'm hungry. You?
I'm okay. Should I make something?
I don't mean to be rude, but, I don't think you can make
the type of thing I always make. And besides there are no ingredients today.
It would be impossible to try to get something now, too.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you hate it,
I'll just make something with what you have.
The protagonist is losing himself in a love
that is like his body is on fire.
He's in love enough to lose himself. Isn't that so?
Yes. That's right. - A love strong enough to lose yourself in.
Is something wrong with that? - What do you think about that?
Hm... I think it's lovely.
Isn't it an amazing thing?
To be able to love a person that much.
Ah, I'm opening your fridge.
There's a scientist that said this:
From the body's perspective, being in love is,
exactly the same situation as having a fever of 40 degrees. (104F)
In other words, you are in no position to be making calm judgments.
It is a disease of the heart.
It is downright foolish to be making such important decisions like marriage
during such a period when you cannot calmly judge things.
It's like while you're having hallucinations from a 40 degree fever,
trying to make big purchases like buying a house.
Line 17 from page 27.
The president can't get married because you keep saying things like that.
Ah, I would like to never get married.
Let's say I did have to get married on paper,
it's impossible to live together. If that had to happen,
I would prefer that the other side would live in an adjacent apartment,
actually, another building would be best.
There is no way I can handle someone
breaking in my personal space. - Huh...
Page 27. Page 27, line 17.
I'm done.
Ew, what is this?
Ew...
Here.
Huh?
I thought it would be worse, but it's not inedible.
How about you honestly admit it's delicious?
Hm, what's this dish called?
Rice porridge soup. It's a specialty of my hometown, Aomori.
Hm, I thought it would be worse.
I'll have some too. - I thought it would be worse.
I'm home.
This line is unnecessary. Putting in something else would be better.
Would the intentions come across that way? - Aren't they talking too much?
Wouldn't it be better to decrease the lines?
It would probably already come across with the expressions.
No, but... - That hurt.
I'm sorry. - Your head is too hard.
That's why you can't come up with a better organization.
There's no such thing. - I'm home.
Welcome back. - Welcome home.
Want a drink? Coffe, or beer?
No, not now. - I'm okay too.
I see. - Page 35 line 2..
It's the first time aniki brought in a woman.
I didn't bring her in, we were just talking about work.
Wasn't work talk supposed to stay in the company?
This is, just occasionally... It's an accident.
When did you stop being a Northern European?
What? - Nothing.
You should become the president!
Everyone knew you were better.
Here you go. - Look!
Ah, Susumu-chan, you're so talented!
Wow, you can draw like that at that age?
Susumu-chan is good at drawing, and excellent in sports,
he can do everything!
But I guess my favorite one is "Ajisai".
Wow! Ningyocho Kichihan bento.
What is this? - Do you know it?
Of course I know it. It's a famous movie.
It wasn't a hit though.
The reviews and ratings were good though. It still wasn't a hit though.
Excuse me.
I was thinking about doing a remake of this.
What are you saying? Ah, thank you.
You can't do that. There's no way.
Then, then, then, then.
I wonder if that's really the case.
Is it okay if everything about this movie just disappears?
What are you talking about?
Didn't I tell you just a while back?
It's business.
This kind of artistic work,
just leave it to some other folks.
Yeah, delicious. Even the rice is delicious.
Right. It should be obvious.
That's right. What happened to you?
Don't give me a shock.
Ah, because I'm always fooling around,
I thought I should show you that,
I have this kind of side too.
I don't actually intend to do this type of thing.
That's right. Then, what did you come for?
Just finish it already.
When that's done, go over this script,
change all the brand names and real places with made up names,
clean out the whole thing. - Okay.
There should be about 20 of them?
Think about it. Carefully make sure they don't actually exist.
Okay. - Good work.
Good work. - Good work.
Manager! I've finally decided.
A yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Azabu... - Ah, sorry, can't do today.
Eh.... - Sorry.
Ah, manager. I'm greatly touched.
I will work hard to live up to your expectations.
Is that so? Thanks, do your best.
Please take care of me, as your successor...
Yeah, yeah, sure. Yuki-chan. - Yes?
Do you have time after this? - Ah, I have work...
Ah, it's okay, it's okay. You should go.
Eh? - As expected, great work.
Is it okay? - It's okay, it's okay, go ahead.
Ah, the remote. - Ah, it can't be, the remote!!
Ah! It's real! - Hold up!
Huh??
Ah, Ajisai.
This pamphlet is so precious. How nice...
Hey, do you really like this movie?
What do you like about it?
Hm, I can't explain well, but.
You know, sometimes it just happens.
After you see a book, or a melody, or a movie,
for some reason it just fills your thoughts for a week, or a month.
Like you can't let go of it.
Ajisai is that type of movie.
But isn't that weird? After all, movies are -
Ah, I'm sorry.
It's the president.
Hello.
I found a good answer to yesterday's problem.
We divide the foreshadowing on page 10.
Part of that will go on page 35.
Haha. With that, we can make do without changing the development in the middle.
I think it's a good idea.
Ah, I'm sorry. I'm having a meal with Manager Hoshino right now.
Is that so. I'm sorry for getting in your way. Later.
What did he say? Aniki?
He found a way to solve one of the problems with the script.
The idea he came up with is great,
I think he does have talent, but,
he becomes completely unaware of his surroundings when he concentrates on something,
when he begins talking he won't stop, he's just like a kid.
Without thinking of the other person's circumstances, he'll just make a call.
Jeez. He can't sense the mood at all.
Compared to that, the manager understands a person's feelings,
and soothe the other person. It's completely opposite.
Really, the president's too weird.
Is that complimenting me? - Eh? Of course!
Somehow I don't feel like I'm being complimented.
That's what everyone says.
Hoshino Mamoru is too strange and not suited to be president.
On the other hand, Hoshino Susumu is bright and sociable, fit to be president.
Kinema Etoile is held together by Hoshino Susumu.
That's what everyone says.
Ever since we were kids, our relatives would all complain together that
the star of the Hoshino family was not my brother, but me.
That I was the one supporting the company.
But that's wrong.
Nobody understands it.
It's always aniki who's supporting the company.
In the end, I can't match aniki in anything.
Father was the only one who was aware of that.
Which is why he only showed affection to aniki,
and had him follow in his own footsteps.
Just kidding. Did you fall for it? You believed it right?
Do you know how to best seduce a woman?
You have to be surprising.
The guy who was fooling around until just now,
suddenly becoming serious, it's certain right?
How was it? Were you excited?
Thanks for today.
I'm sorry for being treated again.
I'm the one who invited you, don't worry.
See you. - Yes.
Are you okay? - What are you saying? I'm okay.
It's not the right timing.
I'll gain weight if I keep eating like this.
I can't match aniki in anything.
Just kidding.
I'm sorry. I'm having a meal with Manager Hoshino right now.
Tomorrow is the ultra uber exciting party!
Omg Yuki you slept with the manager?!?!?!?
I'm sorry for butting in on your love. - Aniki, I will win this girl away from you.
As always, take akamiso's preview subs with a grain of salt.
You are the woman of all my hopes and dreams. - Oops I think I'm losing myself.
