Hard To Say I Love You
Hey!
Open the door!
Back then, we didn't know what true love was.
We didn't know that true love...
could hurt this much.
See you teacher.
See you!
Right, I'm a teacher.
Here, it will suit you better.
What are you up to?
The biggest decision I'm about to make.
I feel like "Hamlet."
Should I just buy it... Or not?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Shibuya, now.
I bought a bag with my first paycheck.
Thanks.
In Shibuya, too.
The "Hamlet" made a life or death decision.
I'm shooting for a magazine cover.
Shibuya now. What am I gonna do with the good weather?
Woke up now, I drank too much last night.
I liked the sake though.
Had an emergency call. I'll be in surgery.
Twitter "What's happening?" You "twitter" to the question within 140 letters and can track your twitter friends on realtime. It's a service that can offer unlimited communication depending on how you use it.
IT! vol.July Planning Name: Love beyond Twitter Twitter is a tool for communication where users "tweet" within 140 letters to the question "What's happening?"
By the way, do you still remember? We're having an offline meeting at Shibuya tonight?
Come if you can. Bring a red rose for a mark.
Just kidding.
Of course I'm coming! Can't wait.
Same here, I'll go.
It's hot!
Oh my.
It's okay. It wasn't that hot.
You said it was hot.
I'm okay.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Did I touch something..?
Are you by any chance...
a pervert?
What?!
I've heard of it. You splash tea on purpose and pretend to wipe it off while you..
They really exist.
What are you talking about?
Don't even bother, I'm okay.
I'm not a pervert!
"These things do happen.
Like, clouds suddenly cover the beautiful sky.
I just encountered the worst man, ever."
"It DOES happen.
I'm in the worst mood ever.
I encountered the worst bitch, ever."

You can come with me Hikari.
We're having an offline meeting first time in half a year.
No way. What is Twitter anyway?
What do you mean, it's easy, you just "twitter."
With strangers?
If you meet them tonight, then they won't be strangers.
Thanks, come again.
This would be nice for 4-year-old girl.
It's a nice fabric.
In fact-
In fact?
I really want to meet someone.
Who?
His name is Nakaji. I get along well with him.
Handsome?
Haven't met yet.
Wonderful?
Don't know yet.
Do you think you'll fall in love with him?
Maybe later.
But-
But?
I feel "fate."
You should just take action for real.
No, I'm not interested in "young, casual love" things.
Just cover the whole thing, okay?
Looks like we have one guest already.
I'm counting on you.
Yes.
See you, then.
I want to get married, too.
I need to get a boyfriend first.
"Doctor"?
You're a doctor?
Yes.
A red rose?
For a mark.
I was kidding.
"Kidding?"
Done yet?
Hang on a sec. First impressions are important.
I need to put on more make-up, since I'm not like you with big eyes, nose, mouth, flashy face.
Are you really complimenting me?
Hey, don't pile on too much.
I'm not a "gyaru"� so don't say "pile on." [T/N: Gyaru means girls with trademark thick makeup]
Listen, that's why you haven't had any boyfriend in 24 years and that's your age.
I'm here for you Tsukiko.
Tonight is the night. Let's go for it!
So we say "Nice to meet you"? It is the first time we are meeting after all.
I'm Ichihara Kaoru aka Linda. I'm a magazine editor.
And this is "Doctor." You work for Shutoku hospital?
Yes. My name is Kang Insong.
I came here 5 years ago from Korea.
You're from Korea?
Yes, but my Japanese is fluent.
You're great. You came here for university and became a doctor.
It's not that great.
There are quite a few like me, doctors who came from Korea.
Thanks.
Whoa, you are a doctor.
<Shutoku University Hospital Doctor Kang Insong>
Hello.
It's weird, when we all talk a lot on Twitter.
It's a little different here.
Who is this?
Tsukiko, no, Haru made me come with her.
I'm Haru's high school friend. She brought me here.
Nishimura Hikari.
What do you do? If I may ask?
I'm a cabin crew.
A flight attendant, huh?
And she's also-
My username is Haru, real name is Mizuno Tsukiko.
I was born in spring and that's my username.
I'm a high school teacher.
You're a teacher?
Hey, isn't that Nakaji? He's looking around.
He's not bad. He looks good.
Nakaji?
Bingo. You're... Linda?
Bingo.
How did you know?
Sounded like Linda.
Sorry I'm late. I just had a bad experience.
I bought pants and changed on the way.
What is it about?
It was this coffee-splash-and-let-me-wipe-it-off pervert.
Pervert?!
Do they really exist?
They do, a lot.
Anyway, let's start with introductions.
We already finished it.
Cool. I'm a cameraman.
Real name, too?
As you like.
It's not like I lose something.
I'm Nakajima. Short is Nakaji.
So, I'm Linda.
Hang on, let me guess.
You're Linda, so you're Doctor?
Bingo. I'm Korean.
- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
Oh, that's why you don't use Kanji.
I'm not good at writing yet.
Then, Haru?
Nope. I'm a newbie Hikari.
She's Haru.
Is she?
Hi.
You're...
You know her?
No, no. I just feel like I know her.
Hey, we're all here. Let's take a picture.
Isn't it too fast?
For souvenir.
Scoot a little, a little more.
Ready?
I'll say Kimchi.
Say Kimchi!
Sorry.
Let me take one more.
Okay, say Kimchi!
That's nice.
That's cool. Taking pictures for Vogue and others?
Is your name on those?
Sometimes.
Show it to me next time.
Okay.
So this thing happens for real.
Huh?
Offline meeting thing?
People get to know and become real friends from the internet.
I mean... My brain isn't working right now.
Jet lag, that is. I came back from New York through Chicago.
They told me "Spiderman" is hot now in broadway.
THE Spiderman is still hot?
I mean, I have a lot information since I'm a magazine editor.
Order another plate?
- Haru: It's okay.
- Linda: Now that looks good.
Let's go Karaoke and have more fun!
Let's go!
Yay!
- I'll pass. - I'll pass.
Oh yeah?
That's sad.
Then, later.
Well, let's go!
See you, then.
Too bad. Later!
See ya.
- Okay. - Have fun.
They don't look "too bad."
Well, shall we go?
I'm not going with you.
That's fine.
Don't follow me.
I'm going this way, too.
I'll go this way.
I didn't want to say "too".
What?
I shouldn't have said "too."
I am going this way.
Weird.
I told you, I am-
Which station?
Shin-Ikenoume.
Those two are getting along on Twitter too.
They go straight to the hotel?
Isn't that a little too fast?
Chincha!!! [T/N: He's saying "Seriously" in Korean.]
Haru isn't that kinda girl.
We're kidding.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Okay. Okay.
Alright?
There's an emergency, I need to go back.
That's not good.
Sorry.
Do your best, Dr. Kang!
Thanks.
I'll go in.
Well,
Yeah?
Goodbye.
And most likely goodbye forever.
That thing stopped working all of a sudden.
And we bought it from your company.
It's really a pain.
Doctor, it's not plugged in.
<Shutoku University Hospital Doctor Kang Insong>
Oh? Never mind.
I had a couple surgeries today, massage my feet before you go.
Okay.
And clean this room, too.
Okay.
Looks like it's tough to be a doctor.
You like me, don't you?
Why do you think so?
I can see it in your eyes.
You got me.
You spooked me.
That took you long.
I was reading manga.
I mean, why are you still here?
Let's go.
You were waiting for me?
You're a stalker?
It's dangerous for a girl to be out alone at night, around here.
You called me a pervert.
Apologize.
I want you to apologize.
What for?
You called me a pervert.
That's right, you tweeted that I was the worst bitch ever.
You said I was the worst man, too.
Well,
you are.
What?
How much were those?
Huh?
I'll pay you for those.
That's okay. I always liked them and I was going to buy anyway.
Then I'll pay you for dry cleaning.
It's okay.
Take it.
I told you it's okay.
Then, give me those. I'll dry clean them for you.
I said it's okay.
No, I don't want to owe you anything.
Who said about owing?
Please, give me those.
You're too much.
You're okay?
Are you alright?
Of course I'm not.
Come here.
I'm okay now.
Just hop on.
Okay?
- Yes, please. - Alright.
Oww, that hurts.
Looks painful.
Oh? It doesn't go bubbly.
What bubbly?
When you put it on, it goes bubbly.
Oh, that's Oxydol, not with Makiron.
I didn't know. I like the bubbles.
What is it?
Bandaid.
Too small for this.
A big one should be somewhere.
You have lots of pictures.
Yes.
What's that?
My dad took this one.
Hey, you want to see my new camera?
This one...
It's called Leica M7 model.
I always wanted this and now I'm just too happy.
It's like, Leica itself does take pictures for me.
There are pictures only Leica can take.
Especially, you can take pictures with the lenses being used on battlefields decades ago.
Or you usually take out the film here with a single-lens reflex camera,
but with this one you can change film from the bottom of the camera,
so it makes the camera itself so much stronger that even elephants can't crack it.
Sorry, it's boring huh?
No.
Well... Here it is.
I can do it myself.
No charge.
What just happened?
It's your phone.
Hello?
I'm sorry.
I'm going home.
It's my mom.
Oh.
My home is past IKEA.
I see.
What is it?
It's my picture.
Ah, it's...
You uploaded it on Twitter.
I like this one.
I remember clearly when I took that picture.
This?
I always hated myself for leaving things half-finished
and when I was feeling down on my way home, I tweeted
"Oh, the beautiful red sunset is making me emotional, makes me feel like crying."
Do you remember?
I do.
Doctor or Linda said it was beautiful or something,
but you said "Keep trying."
Oh!
Do you remember?
Kind of.
You were too excited about it
and it made me think something bad happened?
I took time to reply to that one.
After all "Keep trying" was all I could say.
Anyone can say that.
But I liked that "keep trying."
It was like you knew what I was thinking and all.
I felt warm inside and took out the camera.
Yeah?
Yes. So that picture was possible with your "keep trying."
I see.
Hey,
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I was being random earlier.
What?
That "I see in your eyes" thing.
That was just a guess.
I was hoping to score one.
My pride's hurt.
It's not like that.
Maybe I just had too much to drink?
Well, maybe it's not that bad.
Hmm?
If we did it tonight, then I guess I'd never see you again.
Okay.
But we didn't,
and that could lead us to become good friends?
Want a drink?
Sure you're okay alone?
Yes, it's right there.
I'll dry clean and bring them back.
You don't have to.
Don't worry.
Oh, I guess I can see you when you bring them back.
That's bad.
Don't try to make girls think you like her.
This is why I don't trust popular guys.
What are you saying?
See you.
Owe, my pinky toe...
Hello?
It's me.
Kiriko-san?
I wanted to hear your voice.
How are you?
I'm good.
Oh,
What?
My call waiting is beeping.
It's work.
Sorry I'll go.
Okay...
Hey, Shu.
Shu!
What?
What do you mean "what"?
What time do you think it is.
Sorry.
Too loud.
Good.
He's playing games.
Yeah?
Lately everything's a bother.
Your father was transferred and can't come home.
It's going to aggravate my menopause.
Why don't you go see the doctor?
Such a hassle to do that, too.
Hey, he's doing okay, right?
He's not doing it again, is he?
He's alright.
He's not seeing those kinds of friends anymore.
You don't have any assistants?
We don't have time, Nakajima!
Okay.
Ichihara, how did it go yesterday?
Ah, hang on a sec.
You didn't go hunting and become the prey, right?
Don't worry.
Chief, you have an executive meeting at 10 o'clock.
That's right.
Let's talk about it over dinner tonight.
Okay, Chief.
That's so cute!
It's so cute!
You were looking for this?
Okay, among the songs that were submitted,
Mr. Children, Spitz and Green were the most popular.
What's common about them is that they were all songs about love.
I think it's because the feelings of love you have for someone is something that doesn't change over generations.
What you are hearing now is from Spitz.
This was requested by Takahashi-kun.
Takahashi-kun, which part of the song is your favorite?
Eh, You're serious?
Me?
Yes, you.
Which part is it?
"I love you."
Just the sound of the words "I love you."
Takahashi...
Sensei!
What is this?
I think a lesson like this is a waste of time.
Hmm...
I think it's quite interesting.
Eh...
Why do you have to bring up poodles and whatnot
when you are teaching them Nakahara Chuya's poems?
(T/N: Japanese poet active in Showa period)
It's Spitz.
That's not important.
Even though it's modern poetry,
I think the students will still feel that there's a barrier
and find it hard to appreciate.
That's why I wanted them to find poems that they like first-
Hey, you should be aware of your own position.
You're just a part-timer, right?
It's your job to assist full-time teachers like us.
If you want to teach in your own style,
you should become a proper teacher first.
I'm sorry.
Unbelievable.
Don't try so hard to win by popularity.
That wasn't my intention.
Here's the file.
Thank you.
Don't dwell on it.
Park-chan, what are you going to do about this?
I'm sorry.
Ugh...
Did you wash your hair?
No...
I was busy...
Busy over what?
Listen...
It's our job to bow and beg to doctors.
Whatever you do, just get clients, sell them our medical equipments and secure contracts.
Make sure you're worth every cent of your pay.
This is terrible.
Our clients don't need such dark pictures.
Use the lights and make the girls look cute and sexy.
Our readers are not after your artistry.
We've been telling you that.
Just make it straightforward and naughty.
If you want to take artistic shots then go elsewhere.
You're just never up to standard.
So, do I have to re-shoot it?
We don't have the budget and time for it.
Look through this and learn from it!
Sales Department April Sales Chart
Park
Well...
That's impossible.
Hello?
The number you have just called is currently not available.
Answer my call.
Chief, you've had too much to drink.
That's because I feel good when I'm with you.
I'll call you a taxi.
Do you want to come with me?
I'm going back to the office.
Then kiss me.
Eh?
Kiss me right here.
You're drunk.
I'm not drunk.
Who do you think made you the editor?
It's you, Chief.
That's right.
You were always begging the bookstores when you were in sales.
You really wanted to become an editor, right?
Since you have a pretty face, you'll be my accessory.
You want to wear nice clothes, right?
It's the same as that.
Didn't you approve of my abilities?
Don't get the wrong idea.
Anyone can come up with that idea.
But,
if you kiss me, I can give your proposal a chance.
Or would you rather go back to being a salesman,
and visit all those bookstores to sell books?
That was not bad.
We'll continue next time.
Don't forget.

Sorry, did you wait long?
Nope.
Welcome.
Coffee for me, please.
Certainly.
Um, me, too.
Erm...
This... I couldn't get rid of the stain.
So, I bought you a new pair.
Well it's just something similar.
Sorry.
Not about this.
For calling you a pervert.
Oh, it's okay.
I didn't apologize.
You've just apologized.
Well, Nakaji is amazing. You're a popular photographer, right?
Nah.
Do you want to take a look at the kind of magazines I work with?
Yes! You have them with you?
Like Brutus, fashion magazines and travel magazines?
I was just bragging.
Bragging?
I lied.
Lied?
You just want me to take it out of your sight, right?
No...
Well, it's the kind of reaction that eighty percent of the females will have when they see magazines like this.
Why?
Huh?
Why did you tell the truth?
Because it seems like this will be a long-term relationship.
Well, I hope so.
I hope to become true friends with these Twitter buddies,
or rather it's going to be tough to lie from the start.
Here's your coffee.
Nakaji, do you take coffee with sugar?
No.
Do you?
Yes.
Both?
Both.
Ah, I spilled.
Add more.
Keisuke-kun.
Kiriko-san.
I had work in Shibuya.
On a date?
No, nothing like that.
I'll call you later.
Sorry for bothering.
You want to go after her?
You look like you want to go after her.
Go ahead.
No, nothing like that.
Your first name is Keisuke?
Yeah.
I thought I knew a lot about you after befriending you on Twitter
but I didn't even know your first name.
So you have a girlfriend?
Ah, so she's really your girlfriend.
It's really okay,
but why did you like...
kiss me that day?
It might be like a normal greeting to you but...
it was more like...
something special to me...
I'm sorry.
Eh, wait, what is this "sorry" for?
Well...
Why "sorry"?
That's weird.
No, it's just that...
I thought I hurt you.
Why? Why would I be hurt?
You make it sound as if I like you.
I'm not saying that.
It's because you sound like you're angry.
What? You're apologizing because I'm angry?
That's not the point.
Whoa, that's so teacher-like.
Eh?
Well, can you say you didn't come closer that night?
No, not a single millimeter or micrometer.
It's okay I'll pay.
Oh, really.
Thank you for the treat.
Goodbye.
Wait.
What?
Is that forever?
Is that a goodbye forever?
Why are you asking this?
Just curious.
Half-permanent.
Goodbye.
Okay I got it.
Bye.
Shouko-san?
Hey, how long are you waiting?
About one and a half hour.
This doctor will just make you do things but not order anything, huh?
Dr. Kang, how are you?
Doctor, hello.
Dr. Kang, the new-
Don't follow me everywhere.
You're a bother.
What are you guys doing?
Want to go for a drink?
How about the place in Shibuya where we met?
Sorry!
I have things to do. I can't make it today.
I'm in the mood for a drink. I'll be there.
Then, I'll see you at 20:00 at the cafe where we met.
Can you turn your body in the opposite direction?
Adjust the wind direction.
Stronger breeze.
Okay.
I'm sorry this was so sudden.
It's okay.
Well, you know if things really turn out that way
then I'll need someone to sign the papers. The guy's...
So that's what this is about.
I can't reach him.
He's avoiding me.
Since you have someone, why did you go to the hotel with me?
I just thought...
I wouldn't care about it anymore.
Nishimura-san?
Good, good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Nakajima, that model wasn't bad, ask her for her name and agency.
Yes.
Can you tell me your name and agency?
I'm Akane.
Akane-chan?
Ah, sorry, wait a second.
Public Phone
I've used up all the money. Give me a little more than the last time, alright?
Who is it?
Yes?
Eh?
Sorry!
Something came up so I'll be late.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Wait...
you two are from Tousei High School, right?
Mizuno-sensei.
Oh no.
It's not what you think.
They came to chat up with us over there.
Who is she? Your teacher?
That's enough.
Go home.
Quick.
Wait.
What are you doing?
This place sells alcohol. How can under aged children be here?
See you later.
Hey.
Hold on.
Don't butt in.
So why don't you keep us company instead?
Okay?
Stop it.
You're pretty cute up close.
- Let's go. - What? Wait.
Let go!
Nakaji.
Who the hell are you?
Let's go.
Hey, wait!
Are you okay?
Stop right there.
Get down!
Where the hell did they go?
Minha, what did you do?
What are you doing?!
She was stealing.
Things like reference books and assessment books.
Eh?
So, I couldn't really bring myself to call the police.
I'm sorry.
Ah, I was panicking.
That was scary.
Me too.
Really?
A little.
But it was fun. It was exciting.
Hey.
Here.
Thanks.
Sorry.
Let me wear it.
But you were brave.
You were protecting your students, you're a good teacher.
Not at all.
I was lectured by a senior teacher today.
Oh, this isn't like me at all. I was complaining.
I'll stop.
Hey...
Yeah?
Somehow...
What is it?
About the kiss that day.
Oh, forget it, we're not kids.
Ah, you just won't admit it.
Look at that, Tokyo Tower.
It's turning green.
At that time, I just felt that you were pretty,
or rather, cute.
Stop.
Like I've said before, you can't do that.
You can't lead people on like that.
You'll get killed if you go on like this.
But I won't be fooled.
What's that?
Since you already have someone so pretty.
When you already have a proper girlfriend.
A proper girlfriend.
Isn't that right?
I didn't know it was too early to find out.
They said it'll be one more week before they can tell.
I'm sorry.
But you should talk to him.
Thanks for coming with me today.
That's fine.
I think I'll start this Twitter thing too.
Why?
I didn't understand why everyone got so into it.
But maybe we're all afraid of being alone.
They just want to stay connected to someone.
It's scary to be lonely.
Onii-chan, I'm sorry.
Just tell me...
then I'll give you the money.
Yeah.
Ah! Tokyo Tower, it's beautiful.
You go back to the studio in Aoyama?
I still have some work left.
Sorry I can't go home with you.
Not at all, it's more comfortable to go home alone.
Is that so?
Ah, you only got it for yourself, how selfish.
I'm going to throw it over, Haru. Catch it.
Eh?
Here it goes!
Alright!
Nice catch.
You won't spill it this way.
I won't spill it.
Haru.
What?
Just be honest to yourself sometimes.
"Keep trying!! :v)"
When did he...
Pro teaches you: How to remove stains & laundry skills
Nice, it's gone!
Alright.
He's up already?
Back in those days, we just couldn't stand being alone.
Do you have a place where you can speak up your mind?
Do you have real friends?
Here, come on in.
Did you check Twitter?
