Itazurana Kiss-Love in TOKYO
I am pleased to announce that Naoki Irie and Sahoko Oizumi are now engaged.
I accept it with great pleasure.
I am pleased to accept it forever.
Aihara Kotoko-san...
Will you marry me?
- Kin-chan proposed to you? - Kin-chan proposed to you?
Come over here.
And, what did you tell him?
I didn't tell him anything.
But what are you going to say?
I don't know.
I really like Kin-chan, but...
I've always considered him a friend.
Well, that's true.
I think Kin-chan suits you better than Irie.
To be honest.
- Satomi! - But it's true, isn't it?
Irie was acting like he liked you...
He even kissed you.
But then he got engaged with another woman just like that.
As Kotoko's best friend, I can't forgive him.
You are right.
Meanwhile Kin-chan has always loved only Kotoko.
You said it too, Kotoko.
That it's fun to be with Kin-chan.
I understand why you admire Irie. He has things that you don't have.
But if you are going to have a relationship for a long time...
If you want to be happy together the rest of your life...
I think Kin-chan is the right guy for you.
Right, a woman is happier when she is loved by a man more than she loves him.
This is a good time for you think about Kin-chan more seriously.
Right.
Thank you for waiting. Here is your sake.
- Young man, you are always cheerful. - Thank you.
I wish I had an energetic man like you working at my store, too.
Oh, please.
- I also have a Japanese restaurant. - Where is it?
- What? I'm not going to tell you. - Please tell me.
- Do you want to know? - Yes.
What would Irie-kun think if he found out that Kin-chan proposed to me?
Would he be surprised even a little bit?
Or...

[Mischievous Kiss] [Love in Tokyo]
Thank you very much for deciding to invest a tremendous amount
of financial support. [Episode 16: A Miracle from a Shooting Star]
Please don't talk about business now.
We are going to be family soon.
So we help each other.
Thank you very much.
And when is the wedding ceremony going to be?
- That is really up to you, Chairman. - I see.
Chairman, my father is actually planning to have an operation by the end of the year.
Naoki!
Chairman, you told us that we were going to be family soon.
So I don't want to hide anything from you.
Naoki-kun, you are so...
Thus, the wedding ceremony should be after the operation.
I would appreciate if we could have it next year.
I understand.
It's my precious Sahoko's wedding.
We will need that much time to prepare for it.
That's right.
She will be a June bride.
Well, then we will have it around this time next year.
- I understand. - Good.
Is the time okay with you?
Oh, Chairman, we have another appointment after this.
I see.
Well, then...
It's like a dream...
To have a man like you in my family.
Thank you very much.
We're home.
Welcome home.
Phew, I'm tired.
You haven't fully recovered yet. You should get some rest.
Yes.
Oh, Naoki.
Thank you.
But are you really sure about this?
I'm sure you understand since you met Sahoko-san.
There is nothing to complain about with marrying her.
You are right.
So Naoki is really going to marry her.
We can't go back now.
Aihara Kotoko-san...
Will you marry me?
Marrying Kin-chan...
It just doesn't click to me...
Yes.
Kotoko, can I come in?
Sure, what is it, Dad?
- You see, Kotoko? - What?
Can you take a look at this?
- Our new home? - Yes.
What do you think?
It's bigger than the last one.
It's a small hike from the train station, but the rent is reasonable.
But you said you didn't want like a place like this. You wanted a single family house.
Well, it was a promise that I made with your mother that we were going to have a house.
But we can't buy a house right now, so we'll start from a rental first.
If you ever have a husband marry into our family...
I would work hard, so I can build a two family house.
But that's only if there was a man who would marry you.
- Um, Dad... - Hmm?
If I got married to Kin-chan, would you be happy?
Wh-what? You are going to... with him?
It's only 'if'...
Oh.
Kinnosuke, huh?
Well, he surely has the potential of becoming a good chef.
And, he is kind and has a good heart.
He might be too honest sometimes, but he's very sincere.
I would be happy if you married him, so he could take over my restaurant.
It's true.
Oh, but don't feel obligated to marry him.
Your feelings are the most important to me.
If the man you love can make you happy, I don't care about my restaurant.
- Don't look back, okay? - Okay.
- After we go up here. - Yes.
- Not yet. - Okay.
- Ready? - Yes.
- Ready? - Yes!
Now turn around! Ta-da!
Isn't it amazing? See, Kotoko?
Wow, beautiful!
How is it, Kotoko? Let's go!
There is a perfect spot.
A premium spot.
Look! Look!
Come. Come over here.
See? What do you think?
Look at that!
See? It's big, isn't it?
So cool, isn't it?
Nobody can block this!
I meant... I don't mind living in the same house with you.
You mean... you don't hate me?
I have trouble being with you, but I don't hate you.
What?
Kotoko?
The Rainbow Bridge is that way.
Hey, Kotoko?
Kotoko?
Ah, sorry. It's nothing.
Oh, I know. You must be hungry.
Let's get some yummy food before we have more fun.
Like 'you can't fight when you are hungry', huh?
You're right. Let's go.
- Let's go! - Yes.
Wow, Rainbow Bridge is amazing!
What's wrong, Kotoko?
Huh? That's Irie, isn't it?
Just come.
Is the girl next to him his fiancé?
She does look like she is from a good family!
Um, Kotoko-san?
Oh, Sahoko-san, it was nice talking to you the other day.
What a coincidence. You're on a date too?
This is my fiancé, Oizumi Sahoko-san.
How do you do? I'm Sahoko Oizumi.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, hi. I'm Kinnosuke Ikezawa.
I'm a chef at Kotoko's father's restaurant.
So you are the successor of his restaurant?
Oh no, no, no. I'm just an apprentice.
What made you come here today, Sahoko-san?
Actually we are going to see an art exhibition in Ginza.
But Naoki-san suggested to come here before going there.
He said there is a very pleasant place.
Sahoko-san said she wanted to feel a sense of openness.
This is where we came together...
and you brought her here?
To Irie-kun, our first date doesn't mean anything.
I guess he can't care less about it.
That's right.
If you would like, why don't you join us, Kotoko-san and Kinnosuke-san?
- What? - Francis Bacon's early works...
B-Bacon?
We prefer sausages over bacon...
You shouldn't force them to go, Sahoko-san.
What?
It's too much of a pain for them to go to a place like that.
They should stay at their level.
Oh dear.
Our level? What do you mean, Irie?
That's right! Are you saying that we are stupid?
That's not true?
Naoki-san?
Let's go, Kin-chan.
- Let's do something that suits our level! - Kotoko-san.
Sahoko-san, please have as much bacon as you want.
We will have sausages until we are full. Goodbye.
Kotoko.
You two are the best match.
Why thank you for telling me.
What's wrong, Naoki-san?
It's not like you to tell Kotoko-san such a mean thing.
It's not like me?
Please don't worry. I would never talk to you like that.
Sahoko-san?
You are a great businessman and you know everything.
But you don't know your own feelings, Naoki-san.
I'm going home today.
I'm so annoyed.
Are you okay, Kotoko?
About what?
'About what?'
I said 'about what?'
Never mind. Eat as many sausages as you want.
I guess you are already eating.
Ai-chan.
Aihara-san, are you really leaving?
Yes.
We really don't mind, you know.
Oh please. Naoki-kun is getting married.
It's about time for us to leave.
I feel like everything is ending now.
[Aihara]
- Thank you for working hard today. - Thank you.
I have to go see my regular customers. Can you take care of the rest?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
It's a regular holiday tomorrow.
I worked so hard this week too.
- Bro. - What?
We will clean up the rest, so you can go home if you would like.
Really?
Well, then I'm going home.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Kin-chan, you worked hard for a whole week too.
Thanks.
- Hey, Kotoko... - Hmm?
Do you have any plans for tomorrow already?
Not really. Do you want to go somewhere?
No, but do you want to study together?
Study together?
You've been getting used to working at the restaurant...
But I'm sure you need to learn about the basics of cooking Japanese food.
I need to think about my own course menu too.
So you can try my food and we can study together.
That's a good idea! Let's do that.
- It's good, isn't it? - Yes!
- It's decided! - Yes!
I'm home.
Oh Naoki, you are late.
But Kotoko-chan isn't home yet.
I see.
Is she cleaning up the restaurant?
She comes home so late lately.
But today she is later than usual.
Maybe she went out with the boy named Kin-chan afterward.
- Ah! She might not come home tonight. - Goodnight.
Hey, Naoki...
Aihara-san said they are moving out.
Are you really okay with it?
Aihara said she wasn't coming to practice today.
I see.
Although you guys live in the same house, you don't know anything about each other.
I get home late everyday since I'm busy at work.
Bye.
Oh, by the way, Irie... I heard you're getting married.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
Long time no see!
How are you?
I'm good even though you rejected me.
Are you going to quit school?
Probably.
I see.
I don't like her.
It's boring when there is nothing bad that I can say about her.
It's really like you, Matsumoto.
I hope you will stay cool and attractive even when you're married to someone.
Goodbye.
Naoki Irie!
What are you doing at school?
Is something wrong with that?
I'm temporarily absent from school, but I'm still enrolled.
I see.
Unfortunately, Kotoko already left today.
- Too bad. - I didn't even ask.
She's already gone to the restaurant.
The restaurant? But it's closed today.
Oh, you know very well.
But she went to the restaurant on her day-off...
to study cooking with Kin-chan.
Study cooking?
It's actually just an excuse.
Kotoko is going to give her answer to Kin-chan's proposal.
Proposal?
Oh, you didn't know?
- Kin-chan proposed Kotoko. - Jinko!
Who cares?
Somebody decided to have a marriage of convenience with a rich girl.
In the beginning, she was so depressed.
But at the end, she realized her real love.
Right, Satomi?
Huh?
Oh, that's right, right, right.
A true love that doesn't get affected by money, status or title.
That's right.
Well, we are going on our dates now. Goodbye.
Having a date with someone I love makes me super happy...
even though we're not rich!
Right?
Well, excuse us!
Goodbye.
Ah! It feels good!
- Jinko, your feet... - I feel so good!
But Kotoko didn't say anything about answering his proposal.
Do you think it was okay to tell him that?
I would regret if I didn't tell him that much.
It's a good lesson for that cold-hearted bastard.
That's true. You are right.
- I feel so much better now! - I feel so much better now!
Here you go.
Wow, it's so beautiful.
It doesn't look like a meat and potato dish.
You enjoy Japanese food not only with your tongue but with your eyes.
It's important to decorate it with an aesthetic sense.
Now, please try it.
Yes, thank you.
The potato...
So good!
I've never had such a tasty meat and potato dish.
- Right? - Yes.
An expensive course meal is good.
But homemade dishes that everyone knows...
such as meat and potato dishes, sauteed burdock root, fried tofu...
I want to open a restaurant that serves those dishes.
People develop their taste at home.
I want to make homemade foods with the best ingredients...
and for people to realize how wonderful they are.
The restaurant has an at-home atmosphere...
and there is a female owner who is kind and loved by everyone.
We will run the restaurant together.
Kin-chan.
Kotoko, can you give me the answer now?
I'm sorry, but I need a little more time to think about it.
So you can't forget about Irie after all.
- Th-that's not... - Then what is it?
I've loved you for a long time.
Don't you get it?
- He's so cold. Why do you love him? - Kin-chan.
I'll make you forget about him.
No! Don't! Irie-kun!
Sorry, Kin-chan.
I see.
So you still love Irie after all...
Sorry...
I'm really sorry...
Damn.
I'm the worst.
I made Kin-chan expect something because I was acting suggestively.
But in the end, the word that came out of my mouth was...
'Irie-kun.'
I thought about it for a long time...
and suffered...
and gave up...
But still it was 'Irie-kun' after all.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Hey.
Irie-kun... but why?
I came to get you.
You came to get me?
Were you with him?
What?
I mean Ikezawa.
Ah... Yes, I was.
I heard he proposed to you.
That's right. I'm not that bad, you know.
What did you tell him?
Whatever I told him doesn't matter to you.
Since you are getting married to Sahoko-san.
That's right.
I'm moving out of the house.
My father and I have decided.
And I will...
marry Kin-chan.
And Kin-chan and I will take over my father's restaurant.
You love him?
Kin-chan has loved me since the first year in high school.
Do you love someone just because he tells you that he loves you?
What? Is there a problem?
I had a one-way love for so many years and...
I'm tired of loving someone that doesn't love me back.
You should just think about Sahoko-san.
Leave me alone...
You love me.
You can't love anyone but me.
You've got a lot of confidence.
That's right. That's right. That's right.
But I can't help it.
And you don't love me at all.
You don't love me...
Don't ever say that you love any man besides me.
The second kiss...
It's the third.
What?
You don't need to count anymore.
We will miss you.
We will come visit you often.
Oh, she's home.
Naoki, Kotoko-chan, what happened? You are all wet.
I'll go get some towels.
No, before that, I have to tell you something important.
I want you to be here too, Mom.
Mr. Aihara, I need to talk to you.
- But you should get changed first. - With Kotoko-san...
Please give me permission to marry your daughter.
Irie-kun.
A-a-are you se-serious, Naoki?
I am.
I finally realized.
I... want to marry Kotoko.
Of course, it's not going to be right away.
I have to make sure that Oizumi-san agrees with this.
After the company recovers and its management gets back on track...
But I can't think of anyone else...
but her that I want to be with.
Mr. Aihara, could you give us your consent?
Naoki-kun, she can't do anything, you know?
Yes, I know.
She's not smart.
Yes, I know.
She can't cook.
Yes, I know.
She is clumsy and hasty. She makes mistakes all the time.
Yes, I know.
But...
she is cheerful and she has guts.
She's dedicated and a lovable girl.
Yes, I know.
Naoki-kun. Please look after Kotoko.
Yes.
Is it okay with you, Kotoko?
Yes.
Kotoko-chan!
I've been waiting for this day to come for a long time!
Father, I'm sorry for being so selfish.
This will jeopardize the financial support from Chairman Oizumi.
- This will be a big loss for Pandai. - That's right.
This will cause a serious problem for Pandai.
- Honey, it doesn't matter, does it? - Yes, it does.
As the president of Pandai, I can't allow my employee to act so selfishly.
Mr. Irie...
And if you still want to marry Kotoko-chan...
there is one condition.
You have to resign from Pandai.
Honey!
And you have to go back to school...
and study to become a doctor.
Dad...
You thought you were hiding it?
Don't underestimate your father.
I already knew.
I built Pandai. So I'm responsible for rebuilding it.
I will talk to Chairman Oizumi.
So you have to pursue your dream...
with Kotoko-chan.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
But what is going to happen to your company?
I will do it.
I will take over Daddy's company.
It will take a while, so Daddy is going to have to work hard until then.
So you can become a doctor, Big Brother.
Well, I will do that.
I'm counting on you, Yuki.
I'm glad. I'm glad.
Now everything turned out good.
We can become a real family!
Anyway you should get changed.
Let's celebrate! After you get changed...
I'm scared.
I feel like you will turn back into the mean Irie-kun again when I wake up tomorrow.
Then do you want to sleep with me?
Ah, that's not what I meant.
Are you sure that you want me?
Yes.
I love you, Irie-kun.
I know... more than enough.
But I didn't know that you love me.
You won me over.
I love you.
When is the earliest good-luck Sunday for a marriage?
Mom, are we there yet?
We are almost there.
Geez, it's too early for a Sunday morning.
I'm sorry, Ai-chan.
Oh, no problem.
But by the way, where are we going, Mrs. Irie?
To a wedding.
- What? - What?
Look.
Could it be...
Of course it's Naoki and Kotoko-chan's...
What?
I've never heard about this.
That's because... I didn't tell you.
Um, are we really getting married today?
We're not just checking out the place?
It's a surprise present.
Ta-da!
Congratulations on your marriage!
Are you all surprised?
Come on, everyone. Don't just stand there.
Get changed! Get changed! Hurry!
I can't believe a day like this came.
I feel like I'm dreaming.
Ah, Yuki-kun.
- 'Fair feathers make fair fowls.' - Huh?
You don't understand such easy English?
You are really stupid, Kotoko.
Hmm, what does that 'Fair something' mean?
'Fair feathers make fair fowls.'
It means beautiful feathers make a bird look beautiful.
In other words, anybody who wears a beautiful dress would look descent.
Hey, are you making fun of me?
As a wedding gift, I will teach you something good.
Let me whisper it to you.
You look good.
You always look good.
Ikezawa.
I'll take Kotoko.
Geez, Kotoko has bad taste.
Make sure that Kotoko is happy.
You know what happens if you make her cry even the slightest bit.
I know.
You can't let your guard down.
I'm always on standby.
That's right.
Oh no... I shook hands with him.
Stop being grumpy already, Naoki.
That's right, Naoki.
- That's great. Great. - You look good, Naoki.

It's so unpleasant that everything has been already decided.
But since you look so beautiful... I'll let it go.
You will respect, comfort and help each other.
And remain faithful to your principals...
Groom, you may lift your bride's veil.
You may now kiss.
Um, Irie-kun.
You loved me from a long time ago, didn't you?
What?
Are you getting carried away?
I heard about our second kiss.
Yuki-kun told me secretly.
That Yuki!
You were in love with me, too.
Oh, my! I've never seen a Japanese girl acting like this!
Serves you right!
I lost to you.
