Subtitles by Osa Kyoudai
The Tajima saga is the best.
Sure, sure. I can listen to it anytime.
Young man, young man, young man.
What do you think of this? You haven't eaten any have you. Hey!
What's with the new guy!?
Him? Aren't there "special circumstances?"
Maybe he's a murdered who's changed his face in order to escape.
Hey, isn't that dangerous?
Yes, this is Kei.
I understand.
Can you tell me why I was rejected?
If it's not that I'm not good enough then why wasn't I accepted?
Please tell me the reason.
I failed again.
There's only one thing left for this season.
I used this for neutralization, depending on the type of acid base,
the PH neutralization point is not necessarily 7.
Check before and after the neutralization point since the PH of the solution rapidly
changes the colour of the indicator.
Is something the matter? Not really.
Are you feeling unwell or something?
Not really.
Leave your results on the table and start clearing up.
Miss Nishihara Can you get rid of this mole?
What? Using a hit from the lazer?
I got rid of seven moles just recently.
Can Miss Nishihara guarantee she is up to the task? What about the expense?
Today's lesson finishes here.
Today you should have determined the concentration of the acid.
The experiment results should be ready by the end of school on Saturday.
Listen! Please wash the beakers!
Was Nishiboo* painful today?
*Nishihara's nickname?
She's old. It can't be helped.
I don't have a future.
As a high school teacher I have stability
however, no future.
It's already gone.
The 17 year old girls here have a future.
Just because they are young, they have confidence.
Just because they are young, they are arrogant.
6 months earlier
I recognise that you have talent.
However there isn't a place for you in our company
Your contract with us will end this season.
I have talent but no position.
If I have no position, then do I have no talent?
If I have no talent it's the same as being dead.
Feeling like I want to die and heading down that path.
Feeling like he wanted to die, he became aware of me.
In that moment, our two lives
unexpectedly changed direction and we began to run.
Good morning.
Yes, good morning.
I'm digging in.
Even if you don't have much time you should still drink this, here.
I do have time, I do, but I hate it.
Drink it, drink it! Here, you can do it!
Today it's got mustard spinach, celery, cabbage, ginger, carrots,
apples, banana, kiwi and also yoghurt and honey in it.
so it's not at all grassy is it?
Yuck.
I apologise to my wife and girlfriend.
Do you mean you want your affair to be accepted?
Apologise and return to how things were with your wife?
I don't know about that just yet.
Will you go to the other woman's...
What an awful man.
My mothers attacks started when I was still at primary school.
My parents divorced because my father had an affair and,
since then, whenever my mother
heard the word 'affair',
her body would become itchy.
Even now, after 20 years have passed.
At the time of my mothers divorce, she was my age.
In all likelihood, ever since then she's not been involved with another man.
It's too sad.
I am sure my students look at me the same way.
Morning.
Looking down at me.
Do you know Takeuchi Sora well?
Yes, she is always very obedient but I think her physical condition is bad.
I see...
Is there some sort of problem?
I've just been thinking that I don't know that child.
You're being naive. Can you take responsibility for
guiding two classes?
I can't do it. Good morning.
Mr Takayanagi please listen.
Because it is close to exam time
the parents have asked to place the children with a tendancy to catch colds
in a second classroom and Mr Mamiya has agreed.
It's not good to let parents have it their way.
I keep on saying it, but is it going in at all.
Good morning.
The parents get anxious.
They lay pressure on their kids even though it's the worst thing to do.
How is your family Mr Takayanagi?
My wife is fairly easy-going about things.
Mr Takayanagi's son will have no trouble passing the Todai eligibility exam.
He's still not done the exam, so I don't know.
Don't talk to them over the phone, go meet them properly.
You have to tell them that
the school also has its own views.
We'll meet tonight at 6, at our usual place.
I'm off to see the drama club practise.
Good work.
Only one thing remains this season.
Nishiboo is cute! Even now, you're cool.
Who found this? This thing!
The main point for Yuitan is
a grey sweater. It's just Yuitan!
Because it is the perfect fit.
It is nicely shaped and recently very popular.
Nishiboo, aren't you the next Miyopan?
It's the real Miyopan.
Miyopan is a TV announcer, Teacher is a teacher.
It's OK to be a teacher. Being a teacher is smarter right.
Why's that? The competition is fierce to
to become a female announcer, and also she's in her mid 30s.
Smarter than Miyopan, teachers.
That's the end of this conversation.I'm handing out the printout of the past paper questions.
During the spring break of my second year of high school,
I was scouted in Shibuya to be amateur model.
I was pampered and the I thought the world revolved around me.
But such baseless confidence,
was no help when job hunting.
After being rejected by dozen's of companies
I just barely managed to take the high school teachers exams.
It's been 11 years since then and various things have happened but
the one thing I know first hand is life is a history of loss.
Also in this destiny, we are all equal.
What are you doing? Sit down!
Madoka, hurry up.
He's hot. Is he someone's boyfriend?
Silly, would a boyfriend wait at the main gates?
It's wierd, he gives off a strange presence.
Isn't he a stalker? What!?
If he is stalking the students then
this is a serious issue.
Let's go and have a little look.
Headmaster, shouldn't we consult with the police?
No, it's not at the stage where we need official help.
I'll go too. Yes.
I think we're OK aren't we.
Do you have any business with the school?
I am Taro Takayanagi, a teacher at this school.
If you have any business with the students of this school,
I would like to hear about it.
I don't...
Towards the back.
Let the passion of red roses bloom in my chest.
Let the water in the vase go to the back of the mind.
Can you get me a beer! Yes!
Miss Nishihara your too good to me.
So that we don't get caught out at school
we are always calling each other "Miss Nishihara" and "Mr Yanagi."
Tomorrow I've got 4 coma inducing lessons. Mr Takayanagi next up is Sada Masashi.
Sada Masashi? You're good at him aren't you.
...Is that the time!?
He absolutely won't delay going home.
For the last 5 years, we always met up at the same place.
We never walk arm in arm.
Thank you for waiting.
After the hotel,
we always eat a meal together.
This is a kindness of his.
This strange tenderness
has taken from me the word "marriage"
Please take this.
You are here, as expected.
I'll help you.
Please take this. Please take this.
Wow...
Please take this. When we're finished shall we go for dinner?
It's cold so let's get ramen.
I'm home. Welcome back.
You look tired. I've made you some rice balls.
I ate out. I told you didn't I?
But you'd like a bit extra right?
Turn off the gas once you're in the bath.
I've already had a bath too.
Robert Redford
Here look, it's right, it's right. Mum's the champion.
She's slow. That's why dad had an affair.
Yummy!
The yellow tail is a natural thing.
That's why it's preposterously tasty. Mother's the best.
What did you do? You're not having an affair are you?
An affair...I long for such a thing.
Thank you for waiting, here are your wonton noodles. Thanks.
Here's your ramen. Thank you.
I'm digging in. I'm digging in.
Did you get the results from Berlin?
It's Berlin's last audition of the season isn't it?
I hope you pass it.
I want to pass it, but I don't have the confidence.
OK! Lets' put some garlic on it. To warm ourselves up.
When did I lose
my confidence.
At that time I thought
I want to change something, I think that's all it was.
Go back into the school building.
Everyone get out of the way. Out of the way.
Hmm...What was that all about?
For the time being, it's good nothing happened to the students.
So was it Miss Nishihara
that the man has business with? The other time he was here too.
Is it Miss Nishihara's stalker?
Is he an acquaintance?
No! I definitely don't know him.
It's not an acquaintance but a stalker.
Um did he give you something earlier?
This is what he gave me.
A sweet?
Ah it's a sweet.
Why did you accept it from him!
I'm sorry...
What is it with that man?
Well anyway, thanks to the teachers
we prevented any contact with the students. It's all good.
That's right, Nishihara is a person of sound judgement after all.
She calmly dealt with the situation.
If he comes again, we'll call the police.
As this is all that we can manage on our own.
Are you OK with that? Yes.
Hira Kei...
Taira Kei?
I certainly have a feeling it's this room.
Is it really here? It's definitely here!
What's a contemporary dancer?
Born on the 6th of July 1987.
In 2004 he was the winner in the Lausanne ballet competition.
He studied abroad in Dresden, Germany at in the Fortner Company.
He stayed on as a member of the company as a dancer.
He was then promoted as a soloist in 2009.
Did he represent Japan?
Contemporary dancer.
Although it refers to all contemporary dance,
it generally includes ballet, flamenco and jazz dance
but is referred to as an un-established genre.
Did he confuse me for someone else?
Yui, what are you doing?
Work!
It's the anniversary of Granny's death so I'm going to the grave. Are you coming?
I'll go later.
Who do you think raised you.
Today it's open till 10 o'clock. Right, it's on the second floor.
Good morning.
Since then, Taira Kei hasn't appeared again.
From today, everyone will do the lessons together with
your new friend, Taira.
Let's greet everyone.
It's nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you.
Kei, you go next to Ayako.
OK, first. Yes, Tendu.
Second Demi Plie. Extend.
OK, Circular hands. Widen.
OK, now let's do the opposite.
You're a boy, why do you want to learn ballet.
Because I want to dance.
OK, let's begin. OK, hands out in front. Horizontal.
Plie. Eh! Line up.
If you've resigned yourself, why don't you work here as a teacher?
I've things to do.
And because I dislike amateurs.
You don't have the luxury of saying that right now, do you.
I can negotiate higher fees for you.
It's impossible. I understand how you're feeling but
if you don't hurry and take the plunge onto the next stage
opportunities like this will disappear.
Miss Noguchi it's the senior class now.
Coming.
It's fine to wait till you have the results back from Berlin.
Think about it.
Welcome.
Ichinose Yuuto
I recognise that you have talent.
However there isn't a place for you in our company
What?
Your contract with us will end this season.
But why?
With the amount of talent you have
in the future another place will open up for you
I wish you good fortune.
Please wait
Is Ichinose getting a contract?
Because of that, you don't need me anymore?
It has nothing to do with that.
It's Kei.
Where are you now?
Don't hang up.
Where are you now?
Hello, whereabouts are you now?
Why do you even know me?
Please tell me where you are now?
Where...are you?
Ah...I'm glad. What?
Please tell me your name. Er...I'm Nishihara.
And your first name?
It's Yui...I'm Nishihara Yui.
Haven't you confused me with someone else?
Why would I have made a mistake?
I don't know but...
Please will you go out with me.
Huh? You came here to see me didn't you.
Well that was just... I didn't know why so
I thought I should ask you.
I didn't know why you gave me your number, it was creepy.
I looked over the Sanou high school fence and I saw you
You looked like a goddess shining in the setting sun.
On the evening of the 26th of January
You walked down the long pathway at Sanou high school didn't you?
That's because I walk down that pathway every day.
There was a strong wind that day and your hair was swaying.
Your white lab coat too.
And after that you
reached your hand towards the wind.
I waited at the main gate
because I wanted to ask you out.
Please will you go out with me?
You say that kind of thing
but I don't know what kind of person you are.
A dancer.
I'm a dancer.
I know that.
Contemp...
A contemporary dancer.
You're Taira Kei, the famous dancer,
I saw on the internet but
are you really him?
Ah, is this some kind of fraud?
Huh...? A new type of fraud?
But I don't have any money. Money...?
You don't have any money right?
So you're aiming for me as a government employee with a stable income?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I don't have any money.
I'm sorry.
Why all the talk about money...
Hey, why is a good-looking guy like you
working in a place like this?
Couldn't you work as a model or something?
Ah...are there "special circumstances?"
Debts?
Ah, your company crashed and your family split or something?
Your wife left you with small children to take care of?
There's a woman I like...
Huh?! What?
What...What did you just say?
Wait up, I'm a bit hard of hearing, what did you just say?
Nishiboo doesn’t look well.
Isn't it just that she's not young anymore.
Are you worried about something? Huh?
Did something happen with the students?
No...
That thing earlier, was it a stalker? Huh?
I guess not.
Today, 6 o'clock, at our usual place, is that OK?
Goodbye Takeuchi.
Mr Takayanagi! Yes?
I think the usual place is fine.
Don't worry about it.
Um...I've already got an appointment today...
I'm sorry. Er...What's your appointment?
I arranged to meet my mother earlier.
How come. Was it suddenly decided?
I thought I told you but I must have forgot...
I'm sorry.
I've got a musical audition,
shall we try and go for it together?
It's at the new international theatre for 2 months. Then after that it tours around the country.
For half a year, you wouldn't have to do part-time work.
There would be frequent showings.
Every day we would spend our time dancing.
I'm not a back dancer.
I don't like musicals either.
Whether you like them or not is not the problem, it's to earn a living.
I don't know when an overseas company will be recruiting.
So I can't tie myself down to a long term commitment.
If you don't get Berlin, that is it for this season.
Don't rule it out.
If by the slightest chance you don't get it, your schedule will be empty right.
If I don't keep it empty I won't be able to compete for a place, right?
OK, I'll get it on my own.
Good luck.
What's that...
Audrey Hepburn is know to wear...
Sabrina pants! I'm going to get in the bath.
That's fine. Sabrina pants.
I told you.
See, see mum's got this.
The Berlin audition was my last chance for this season.
And I failed that too.
Where are you going?
I left something important at school,
You're going to get it now? I'm off.
It's cold out... Hold on a minute Yui.
I have talent but I don't have a position.
There is no position for me...
That means I don't have talent.
When it became to painful to live, you appeared before me,
for the second time.
Why didn't you pick up?
You gave me your number so why didn't you pick up?
I like you.
I like you, Yui.
Why do you like me?
I'm older, just a high school teacher. I'm not a female announcer.
I'm not a sunset goddess either.
What is it? This. There is no basis for it.
But it's not fraud.
But, I, I don't even like myself!
How is it you can say you like someone like me.
I want you to save me.
I look at you and it seems like I can still carry on.
Is that it?
If you like me, will you hold me?
Here.
Ouch... What...?
It's my hair...
I'll do it myself.
I'll take my own clothes off.
Turn the light off.
You won't be able to see anything.
That's fine.
Ouch.
Ah wait...
What are you doing? You're not replying, well no matter.
Are you angry about something? You're not angry are you?
