Let's live together. Don't go back home any more.
It's the first time in my life that
a man has asked me to live with them.
An interpreter? You'll do interpreting so you can live with me.
That's not it.
Break up with me.
Adultery! Adultery! For this to happen now...
So you're abandoning me...
How can you say that to your mother!
Taira.
Please give me my daughter back.
Give Yui back!
My daughter is gentle and
very considerate of me.
Ah...
My daughter... Suddenly ripping her apart from me,
it's a terrible thing for a person to do.
Don't you think so?
No I don't. Well! You're not Japanese so
you wouldn't understand. I am Japanese.
But you lived in Germany for more than 10 years didn't you.
Yes. So you're German now.
Yui was an "dokumo" when she was in high school.
What did she do? She was a "dokumo."
What did she do? Amateur modelling.
See you're not Japanese.
A "dokumo" is a amateur model.
An amateur model?
She worked as a model?
Yui!? Yes.
More importantly... How are you doing, financially speaking?
If you're going to get married, I think that's the most important thing.
Marriage?
You're not going too?
I haven't thought about it yet.
How irresponsible.
You've no intention to marry and no money either,
and even so you intend to carry on living together.
What are they talking about?!
A young girl the other day, an older lady today.
What young girl?
That is... Like this...
My daughter isn't that young.
You've got another woman haven't you.
Just how many people are you dating at the same time?
Is my daughter just one of many? No it's not like that.
My daughter may be just one of many to you
but she is my only daughter.
Without her income I can't live.
If she's supporting you it's impossible for her to support me too.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
If you have no intention of marrying her, please stop toying with her.
I'm not toying with her. But you have other women don't you!?
You...idiot!
Yep, a young and gentle woman is better.
one, two
Breathe out. When you breathe out push your weight down.
Here we go.
One, two.
Breathe. Breathe... It hurts, it hurts!
Stop it, stop it, stop it, it hurts!
OK. Spread your legs. Yes.
Keep them straight. Further, further. Open them further.
No, it's impossible!
OK. Stretch out forwards.
One two.. Ah! It hurts, it hurts.
It hurts... You don't have to push yourself.
Try bending your knees a little.
I'm pushing. One two.
Even more. It hurts, it hurts.
I won't use my hands today. What?
I won't use my hands when we do it. What! That's boring.
You can use yours though. So you're not going to hold me.
Yep.
Yep... like this, I can't get undressed like this...
His movements were
just like he was dancing.
I want to work with you again.
I'm coming to Japan on the 17th of February.
Can we meet up?
But maybe a opportunity will open up for me once again
5 years ago you played the lead part.
This time, Ichinose will play your part.
I would like you to interpret from the performance in Japan.
An interpreter...
Have you heard? About Nishiboo and Naginagi?
It's obvious isn't it, they're having an affair.
Even for 100 million Yen I wouldn't do it with Naginagi.
The occupation with the highest occurrence of infidelity is teaching.
Doctors, take second place.
I didn't know that! She's not a celebrity.
She may not have become an announcer
but Nishiboo was an amateur model. Naginagi wasn't anything.
I think there are plenty of girls who like Naginagi.
Not Naginagi. No, no, no ,no!
I don't think it's good to arbitrarily decide
something like that. There isn't any proof.
There is proof.
Did anyone see the two of them go into a hotel?
Did you see them doing it?
Teacher isn't that kind of person, I tell you!
What's this? A secret Naginagi fan?
Ewww.
Yes, I understand. Mr Takanayagi, Miss Nishihara
Can you come to the headmasters office for a moment.
What is it?
Well, it isn't a discussion suitable for here, this way...
Here is fine. OK.
It's the "adultery" "adultery" incident isn't it.
In which case I think it would be better if everyone else heard it too.
Miss Nishihara, you're fine with that aren't you?
Yes.
OK...
Well if you say so.
It's the right in middle of the entrance exam season, so...
So rumours about teachers having an affair...
It's because the teachers are being slack that the students are
thinking about such things. Miss Ueda.
Are you talking about Miss Nishihara and I? That's right.
What basis do the students have for saying such things?
They say that Mr Takanayagi and Miss Nishihara
met at a family restaurant, and that
Miss Nishihara got in Mr Takanayagi car.
In the morning Miss Nishihara met with Mr Takanayagi at the school gate
and was pressuring him for them to talk. That's very detailed Miss Ueda.
Certainly Miss Nishihara was at the restaurant consulting with me
about a difficult student, Takeuchi Sora.
And I did take her home that day.
Miss Nishihara's mother also saw us.
I thought it was be an inconvenience
to the guards if we were to stay late at the school,
so I suggested going to a restaurant.
As I am the head of the year and Miss Nishihara is my deputy.
It's only natural that we contact each other about the students.
It's nothing for us to be embarrassed about being seen in such a place.
You mean, the students are in the wrong, for wildly misconstruing things.
This time, yes. OK, OK.
The students are at an age where that sort of thing interests them.
So you mean it can't be helped?
No, no. I mean that from here on
we have to educate them.
I am truly sorry.
At any rate, I am truly sorry
that I, as a man, have behaved in a way
that harmed Miss Nishihara's honour.
You haven't done anything wrong Mr Takayanagi.
It's just groundless gossip!
Both the headmaster and the teachers must work to resolve this disturbance.
Thank you very much.
Understood. Let's trust the two of you.
I believe in the teachers of our school.
Please can everyone else do so too.
Yes.
The school, as usual
was curiously only concerned with appearances, however...
I was happy that I was living with him.
I'm sorry...
I'm going to take a shower.
I have only now realised that
my mother did just about
everything for us.
The shopping, cooking, making my lunch,
cleaning, laundry, ironing, taking out the rubbish,
sorting out payments, anything and everything...
I'm in the middle of making lunch.
Don't worry about that. I'm still in the middle of making it.
My mother's emotions can be erratic and she can be clingy, however
when I think that for 20 years she continued to make my lunch
every morning, it's amazing.
Well those who have the answer please email in the usual way.
Good morning.
For several days, intense competition in the soccer Pacific Ocean Cup has unfolded.
Yesterday's match between Japanese and New Zealand
ended with an easy 2-0 victory.
A splendid final tournament appearance has been decided.
Your mother came. What!? Where?
To the harbour. Why didn't you say anything?
You have an interesting mother don't you.
I'm sorry if she said anything strange.
No matter what she says, it won't effect us.
Ah lunch. Here you go.
Thank you.
Well, be careful. OK, take care.
Jou, how's it going? So-so.
Facing your entrance exams feeling so-so
is just right.
Thanks for breakfast.
I'm off. Take care.
From today Jou will be staying at a hotel.
What? Mother, your coat.
Yes. It's the home stretch for him,
so it's a good environment.
What a luxury...
What's the matter? You're spacing out.
No no. I'm off.
Good morning.
Adultery...
Adultery! Adultery! Adultery! Adultery!
Is it true?
Is it true you're having an affair?
It's not.
I don't know why you have all misunderstood things, but
the person I'm going out with is not Mr Takayanagi.
I am currently living with a 27 year old single man.
It is not a relationship that society would find fault with.
Also, school is a place for study.
Don't forget that.
Are you doing the interpreting so that we can live together?
That's not it.
My life had stopped, and has started moving forward again.
I'm sure that this job will bring some new opportunities my way.
Yui appeared
before me, like a goddess, come to save me.
I'm digging in.
From tomorrow Kei will
be an interpreter.
From tomorrow I'll have to start getting up early for a little while.
How long does the job last?
For 2 weeks. Ah...until the performance ends.
Can't you sleep?
I am asleep.
Have a good day.
This is Taira Kei, who will be our interpreter,
from today's rehearsal and throughout the tour.
Nice to meet you.
Taira won the Lausanne competition when he was 17.
Up until last year he was a soloist with the Fortner company
and he's an international dancer.
Hello Kei.
Good morning.
He also played the leading role in the première of this work.
Everyone welcome Kei, and let's make sure to all get on with each other.
Why did he who firmly stated he would not be a dance teacher
or dance in musicals, decide to accept work as an interpreter.
I had no idea.
This concept isn't new.
Can we show this to Japanese audiences?
Think of something new.
I'm always telling you,
It is important to see the whole picture not just the details.
The position of the light needs to be more central.
Excuse me but... the beams are coming from above right now but
would it be possible to change them to lower on the side?
As it's shown in the plan right...
The 1st and 2nd beam change to 4th.
One more time, from the start.
Understood.
Thank you everyone.
I think we want to return to the lead's stage right appearance.
OK! Sorry for the wait.
I thought it would be unbearable
but I was deeply moved, far outweighing my frustration.
Faster, faster.
The whole concept is outworn.
Higher, higher.
A little more effort.
I understood too that this meant
the end of the dream I had been aiming for.
Yui... What?
Would you come to see the dance performance?
5 years ago this was my piece...
What? At that time
I was the Art Director Fortner's favourite dancer.
He brought in a new choreographer just for my sake.
But, wasn't he the person that
that fired you?
That's right.
This time, Fortner's asking me to be an interpreter.
Isn't he awful? That man.
He is awful.
But he is also an excellent artist.
Kei, you've suddenly become all understanding.
I don't like it. You be used for interpreting
for that man's dance, I don't want to see it.
Ichinose is the dancer, not Fortner.
Besides, doing interpreting I realised something.
What did you realise?
You don't talk to me about the important things do you.
Ichinose is a good dancer.
Better than I am.
That's what I realised.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to ask you that.
But you started as a interpreter at the same time as we started living together...
It's typical Japanese, contemporary dance performance
there aren't many chances to see it so...
I understand...
I'll go.
What's this. You're being scary.
Scary?
I love you that's why I'm telling you this.
After the performance, meet me at the stage door, we'll go home together.
Yes.
Yui, my tummy’s hurting...
Come straight away...
In what way is your tummy hurting?
Maybe I should call for an ambulance...
Ah that would be embarrassing just come over.
You're lying about your stomach hurting aren't you.
Eh? How did you know.
It must be because our hearts are connected.
You could tell straight away I was lying.
Amazing!
Stop it. Don't do things like that.
Why? I really worry about you, Yui.
Enough already. Let me be free.
Yui too, you cut it out. That Taira Kei!
I'm hanging up. He told me earlier that
he didn't really feel like he wanted to get married.
What's so good about such an feckless man.
Stop with your lies!
I wasn't even lying...
Ah OK. I'm coming now.
You're still at the hospital right.
Wait, wait, wait...
This morning Ichinose hurt himself when leaving the hotel, he's at the hospital.
What? The doctor says he has hurt his left elbow,
but they have examined it and it's OK.
But Ichinose's saying he won't dance until the details of tests come out.
He said he can't dance in a half heart-Ed manner.
For the time being I'm going to the hospital. What about Fortner?
Ah, we will have to cancel the performance. It feels like that but
that would be a real problem.
We can't just cancel the performance at this time.
You understand don't you?
If we change the swings, then that in itself will require more time to practice.
In the M3 Solo, we remove the back flip
and do a Passe Tour. What do you think.
Yuto.
Yuto, do it like Kei suggested it.
It's impossible.
Hold on...
Wait! Wait! Please...Please...
You have a place to dance. I don't.
Don't hand that place over.
If put on half heart-Ed performance, my standing will drop.
It will be alright because you have talent.
I'm not confident.
The Japanese audience will support you. I think you'll be glad if you do it.
I can't do it.
Kei, can you do it instead of Yuto?
Wait! Wait! Please! Please!
You have a place to dance. I don't.
Don't hand that place over.
If put on half heart-Ed performance, my standing will drop.
It will be alright because you have talent.
I can't do it.
Kei. Can you help with the substitution?
I can't dance better than him.
It's better when Yuto does the performance.
I will try to change it so that he will be able to dance.
I will change the swings
to ones that can fit Ichinose's range
It's impossible, there's no partner during the solo.
It's fine.
I will make a partner.
At that time lift your leg.
Stick out your left leg return it and push.
Understood. Let's fix it.
We'll make sure to find some way to swing it.
Okay, we are changing the performance like Kei says.
Could you sort out some sort of bandage. Something we can use to fix it.
OK, we are changing the stage.
Please listen to the plan.
Are you ready? It'll start in a few minutes.
Hurry, hurry.
The whole concept is outworn.
Yes, that's right.
OK
OK...
Kei, what would I've done without you?
It's done..
Yuto! Yuto!
Someone go call the lead please. Yes.
Yui...
That was amazing.
From this day on, Kei's day to day did a complete turn around.
Did you see? What?
It's been bigger than I thought it would be.
I'll leave the refreshments here.
Was it you who got my name mentioned here?
The fact that we didn't have to cancel the performance is all down to you.
The Osaka performance is also sold out. I'm truly grateful to you.
I'm glad.
We are getting all sorts of requests coming from
here and there and everywhere.
Can I give them your mobile number?
Yes!
Well that's all. Later.
Thank you.
Teacher, about the announcement of the passing results.
Ah yes, that.
Seven, eight, one, two...
One, two and three and four
five and six, seven, eight.
Yes, OK...
Shrimp, crab, shrimp.
Loads of crab and shrimp have been put in.
So now it's the 15 second version. After is the 30 second version.
Crab, crab.
Is it good?
It's good. This will become popular.
Shrimp, shrimp...
Crab, crab. What? Crab...
Crab, shrimp, crab, shrimp.
Crab, crab, shrimp.
There's lots of crab and shrimp put in.
Yui likes tomato sauce doesn't she.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
two, two, three, four.
five, six, seven, eight.
Basket club boys, you need to widen your stride please.
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
A big three, four.
five, six, seven, eight... lower it. Yes.
Yes! Let's set it up one time.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Miss Nishihara.
Yes.
Are you in a rush. No...
Will you join me for a little while?
... Sure.
Actually I'm going out with a young man too.
Yours is 6 years younger, as I recall? Yes...
In my case he's 20 years younger. What?
He is still only 25.
He seems like my son, it's embarrassing but...
But we've already been living together for three years.
Welcome.
One milky tea. Me too.
He's a friend of someone I used to teach and he is studying to be a cook.
He is planning on going to France to study in October but
he has asked me to go with him. I'm in a bit of a bind.
It's not a problem is it?
After all he is 20 years younger than me.
Eventually I'll be cast aside... The only option is to give up isn't it.
Why is it you have to break up?
Try and think about it.
In 10 years time when he is 35 I'll be 55.
and when he hits 45 I'll be 65.
It's fine for now but if I think about what comes next, aren't you horrified.
My pride won't allow me to just become baggage.
That's right isn't it...
So what does your boyfriend do?
He is a dancer. A dancer?
I bet he's broke. That's right
But I want to support him. He's an amazing person.
Really.
I bet he's beautiful naked.
Yes he is. Oh stop it.
Your boyfriend is also 25, isn't he beautiful too?
My guy... He is very short and stout.
I've wanted someone to talk to like this.
You won't tell anyone about this will you?
If you'd like... Sorry to keep you waiting.
1 beer please. Yes.
Me too. So 2 then.
Why have they stopped announcing it on the Todai main campus.
It was like a Spring tradition.
It was terrible for those who failed though.
It's become a very strange world.
The results are up! 3 people from our class.
5 from our class. What an amazing feat, Miss Ueda.
We've got 3 people too. Only a few...
My son passed the exam too. Thank you very much.
Congratulations.
11 students got in and 8 will re-take.
I don't want to compare it to last year but it's passable.
Good work to all the teachers responsible for the third year students.
I'm back. I bought steak.
Great, great... It's all because of you.
Where's Jou? Jou, isn't coming back today.
But I bought steak.
I have something to ask you. What is it, just ask?
I want you to break up with me.
The children will accept it.
What is this, what are you talking about?
Why is it we have to break up?
As for the reason, look into your heart and ask yourself please.
You haven't had any
feelings for me for a long time now.
I did my best to bear it.
Tonight, I'm going to my parents house with the children to celebrate.
As for what happens next, please talk to a lawyer.
I think that I will be getting the house.
Wait up, wait a minute, wait up!
Let go of me! I'm telling you to calm down.
Goodbye you say... For how long do you think
that I have had to bear this.
Calm yourself down! Get off me!
I'm home.
Welcome back!
With my first pay I've bought us some champagne.
Dom Perignon at that. No way!
I bought it chilled so drink up.
Buying Dom Perignon, what a waste.
From now on I'm going to be racking it in.
Apart from the choreography, I'm also getting dancing work.
I'm going to be dancing next in a commercial.
Awesome... I'll be able to see you on the television?
... Yes.
I haven't got any champagne flutes, are glasses OK?
I should have bought flutes too.
No that would be too luxurious.
Congratulations! What for?
For your first performance.
It's because of you.
It's because you're talented Kei.
OK, in that case I am grateful to my talent and to you. Cheers.
Yum! Scrummy!
But drinking from glasses, it seems a bit like beer.
Borrow, line up, bend to finish,
this part of the body is...
Ear. Kurosawa.
Ear.
This is the next question.
How come the children accept it.
She told them on the way.
What's with that!
You truly did become my goddess.
If I hadn't met you
I think I wouldn't have accepted the work as an interpreter
and I wouldn't have had this opportunity.
Everything started from when I met you.
It would be good if I stayed your goddess forever.
For my goddess, I want to find us a bigger apartment.
I'm fine here, I like it.
Really?
Yes. It's close to the gym and the school.
And there are public baths below us.
Ah after this let's go and have a bath.
Yes!
Weren't we going to have a bath?
It's fine to have a bath afterwards.
Aren't doing it too much?
You don't like it?
Of course that's not it.
I didn't know anything.
It was only the two of us that were happy.
