You're seeing someone aren't you?
Break up with him.
Let's live together.
What's the matter.
It's the first time in my life that
a man ask me to live with him.
Don't go.
Good morning. Good morning.
Break up with him.
Good morning.
Can we meet up after school today?
Today?
At 5, at the family restaurant from last time.
Today...Today is a bit difficult.
How about during school time?
I have something I just have to talk to you about.
Is lunch break at the coffee shop on the corner of 4th street any good?
I'm going to the dentist during lunch break.
You don't really want to do that?
I could go with you to the dentist... I said I can't.
Let's talk about this later.
Please let's. OK.
It all started on this pathway.
You've been tired recently Kei.
He's been over doing it.
What do you mean?
This and that and you know what.
What? What's up with you...
Japanese isn't his strong point.
The other day, I'm not sure whether it was English or another language but
he was over there chatting fluently on the phone.
Huh what language? It was German.
The country where the Chancellor's a woman?
What were you doing in Germany?
I was a dancer.
You mean like a stripper?
Where they slip money into your pants.
That's not how it was. Well how was it?
A stripper ah...
Ah, the kids today have it tough.
Mr Takayanagi.
Oh Takeuchi.
Do you think Miss Nishihara is that cute?
What?
Disgusting...
Oi...oi hold on a minute Takeuchi oi!
What is it?
A grey hair is standing out.
Would you like me to pull it out for you?
No...it's fine.
I'm off to supervise the clubs. See you later.
He wasn't aware that I was there.
I'm going home today. Can you come back with me?
Today I have to talk to my mother.
Well let's go together.
Not just yet. Why?
The person I'm dating isn't family so
I think she'll understand but,
but I don't think it'll be simple.
Because as a dancer
I'm thought of in the same terms as a being male stripper right.
What do you mean?
Up until my father died
he told people that
his son was playing soccer in Germany.
You're kidding... That's why I can understand
that it's not a simple matter.
I'll walk you to the station.
What's the matter?
I'll come with you after all.
His body is so soft
Well... Well.
I'll see you.
Take care.
Now for the weather.
Tonight there will be sudden brisk showers
heading to the south, out to sea.
No rain is expected in the Kanto region.
Today Kanto will be covered in migratory anticyclone
but the atmospheric pressure is expected to remain stable.
The Kanto region will have clear skies today.
There will be a chill inland in the morning.
It will be approaching zero degrees. It will continue to fall in some places
throughout the day.
Stop treating me with so much disrepect.
You went out drinking and stayed over at
Sairu Riko's before. So I called her.
Your putting her in a difficult position.
Did you think I wouldn't notice you going out more or less every night?
You know,
I gave birth to you.
You were a part of me.
So I can easily tell when you lie.
I am really sorry for leaving the house.
But I didn't know what else to do. Don't turn this around.
It's the thing I hate the most.
You're taking after your father by having an affair.
Affairs... They're filthy!
...Are you OK?
Filthy! Even more filthy, filthy!
I'm feeling stressed right now and so I can't explain things well, but
I won't hide anything any more, I'll tell you everything.
I'm going now, we'll talk when I come back.
I'm have to prepare for lessons.
Mr Takayanagi was worried about you.
...What?
I met Mr Takayanagi yesterday at 5 to discuss
your behaviour.
You spoke to Mr Takayanagi?
Yes I spoke to him.
It seemed that my child was doing something she can't talk to me or the world
about...
Mr Takayanagi also went pale when he heard about it!
Are you running away?
That's why we need to have tonight’s conversation.
I need to go to school otherwise I won't get my salary.
Because, mother, we need that to live.
Mei eat your mustard spinach.
Yes?
Maybe it's the school.
The vice principal...
Thanks for the food. Something's come up, I have to go.
What's the matter? It's nothing, it's just before exams
and there's lots to do, and the vice principal is unreliable.
That's not good. Yes.
Do you have time to meet today?
Is 6 oc'lock at the usual place okay?
It's best if it's just the two of us. It seems we have to talk seriously.
I would prefer the family restaurant from last time rather than the usual place.
What's the matter? I need the toilet.
Does it smell?
It doesn't smell at all. Ah, that's good...
Look out!
Oi Oi are you OK?
Be careful! I'm sorry.
Does the work of a stripper continue through the night?
This job is dangerous if you don't get enough sleep.
Did something happen to your leg?
It's not a big deal.
Is it a sprain? It just go bumped.
At your job? Yes.
Yes, I definitely hate that woman.
I'm not coming any more so could you just do one thing for me.
Quit your dangerous job.
Bye bye...
Sorry for the wait.
Thank you.
What shall I have to eat.
I wanted to speak to you today...
Don't be in such a rush.
It's that guy right? The stalker from the school gate.
Is he your guy?
What's he like?
I can ask that much can't I?
I still don't know him well.
You don't know him? But I like him
When did you get to know him? Did you already know him
that time at the school gates
when we were worried he was stalking the girls?
No, that was the first time I met him.
Is...is that when
You fell for someone you don't know the first thing about?
What does he do? His occupation...
Having the time to hang about, is he a NEET?
How old is he?
27...
27... 6 years younger.
(I'm not seeing a problem here!!!)
Is that OK, a gap like that?
There's a 15 year gap between us... It's fine for the man to be older.
Even 15 years...
More than anyone, you are...
I like him.
I don't know if that well, but I've really fallen for him...
We are going to live together.
Even though you don't really know him?
From here on I think we will grow to understand each other.
That's why...
Please break up with me.
Welcome!
I've made you feel bad for
a long time now. That's not the case.
No I'm the one entirely at fault.
The reason this has happened
is because I did things by halves.
It wasn't to do with you.
I am grateful to you.
The time we spent together was very important to me.
If it hadn't been for your support, I don't know if I would have
managed up until now at school.
I'm sorry...
Could we be together one more time?
What?
This is the first time I have
walked side by side with him.
Run! Oi!
I'm Takayanagi of the Prefectural Sanno Girls High School.
She's having an affair with a much older man
Mr Takayanagi.
We've met several times. Do you remember?
I remember.
Why did you come to our school that time?
It was to meet Yui.
As Miss Nishihara's supervisor I have something I want to ask you.
What on earth is it that you do?
I'm a dancer.
Dancer... Why is a dancer
handing out tissues on the street at night?
It's so that I can eat.
You can't make enough from dancing?
That's right.
Are you okay with that.
He's a global award winning dancer.
That may be true but it's not putting food on the table.
From here on in...
I don't know what's going to happen from here on.
I want you to become a man that can fully support her.
Otherwise, as her supervisor,
I have to oppose this relationship.
Even if you oppose us, my feeling won't change.
Let's go.
Please wait a minute!
Look after...
her.
Let's go.
You can't dance if your leg is hurting can you?
It's not swollen so it's no big deal.
I've often trained with this degree of injury.
Is that right?
Today, it was down to my own carelessness.
You aren't sleeping enough here right.
Today let's try not to use your leg.
I don't need my leg for that.
If you do your best.
Even if you can, we shouldn't. Rest today.
When look at you, I want to touch you.
Me too...
But today, I'm going home. I have to talk to my mother.
Even if she's against us, my feelings won't change.
Yes.
Even if she is against us, come here,
and we can live together.
Yes.
But for the time being I'll try to talk to her about you, Kei-kun.
Just call me Kei.
Can I call you Kei-kun? Why?
It's different from what people called you in Germany.
Just Kei... it's a bit embarrassing.
Just calling me Kei is fine.
But you call me Yui-san don't you.
That's because you're older.
Just calling me Yui is fine.
I understand.
Yui.
I've got to get home.
I'm hungry.
Poor it into a glass before you drink.
Yes, yes. Yes.
I want to be a unique dancer.
There detestable aren't they, people who become actors or dancers.
I don't get it. Ah don't turn it off.
That kid was really good looking.
I don't get what women see in them either.
Miss Nishihara.
I'm Taira Kei's ex girlfriend, Noguchi Ayako.
I know that Kei likes you.
That's all very well, but
he's a dancer and because he's a dancer I don't want
anything to happen that will damage his potential.
Damage his potential? I will?
He got injured, he was sleeping with you
and not getting enough actual sleep, right?
You both sleeping in that narrow bed, it's the worst.
Do you even understand? You can't relax your body.
Kei's style of dance is acrobatic
therefore lack of sleep is the enemy.
You don't know anything about dancing or about Kei.
If things carry on like this, you'll ruin him.
I won't ruin him.
Kei only has dancing. He doesn't have anything else.
So if you ruin him,
I will kill you.
I won't ruin him.
So you won't have to kill me.
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.
Kei Taira.
Are you well?
Yes.
I wanted to work with you again.
I'm coming to Japan on the 17 of February.
Can we meet up?
What's the work?
We'll talk about it when we meet.
I'll call you when I arrive in Japan.
Understood.
I look forward to meeting with you.
I'm glad it's not an affair.
I'm relieved. But
are you going leave this house to
go and live together with him?
That's right.
Your going to leave me?
So you're abandoning me...
I'm not abandoning you... I want to live my own life.
I want to live together with the person that I've chosen.
So this dancer is more important than your mother.
It's not about who is most important...
What! Now you're showing your true colours.
It's disgusting! It's like you're not my child!
I thought I wasn't your daughter anymore anyway.
I fed up with it.
How can you say that to your parent!
Who do you think brought you up!
Think about how it was for me raising you
after your father divorced me!
That's why I haven't left you side until now.
I did my best. It's true!
If you're not here with me I won't be able to eat.
I can't get a job at my age...
Is that why you're holding me back here?
How much do I have to sacrifice myself for you to be satisfied?
I'm already in my mid 30s.
I want to take as step forward with my own life.
Why are you trying to stop me? I'm not trying to stop you!
What I'm saying is reasonable.
Up until now have you ever thought about my happiness? Have you worried about me?
Normally by the time you get to you're thirties you should be married.
You should be worried shouldn't you?
Shouldn't you be asking around if there's someone good for me?
But you haven't asked me, even once, whether there is someone I like or
whether I'd like to get married.
That's because you need me here to bring in the money.
And you call yourself a mother?
What kind of parent is as selfish as you are.
So, couldn't you live here.
I would be fine for you to bring him here.
What are you saying?
Couldn't you be like newly weds in your room.
Why does it have to come to you leaving?
You wouldn't have to pay rent, so it kills two birds with one stone.
No...
I want your understanding
and your blessing, but I think I should leave this house.
Enough already. I doing what I want!
Is it okay for me to starve to death?
That was amazing, perfect!
Kei Taira!
I wanted to work with you again.
Can we meet up?
I wonder why. He was the one who cut me.
But maybe a opportunity will open up for me once again
I have that kind of feeling.
It's me.
I'm sorry for waking you...
You don't have to go home anymore.
I'm sorry about your mother,
but I am happy.
It was the first time we did nothing but sleep
What? Hold on! Stop it!
What happens if you put boiling water in
with the magnesium, is there combustion?
The chemical will continue reacting violently without stopping .
Hey Kei!
We will be bringing the Dresden Faultner company
to perform in Japan in March.
That is so sudden.
Yuuto!
The performance will be called Beautiful Tragedy.
5 years ago you played the main character.
This time, Ichinose will play your part.
I'm Ichinose.
Hello I'm Taira.
I want you to work as an
interpreter for the performance.
An interpreter.
The one Japan prepared for us is no good.
If I don't have someone like you who
understands my intentions, the interpretation won't be good enough.
I need you for the performance.
If you would be so kind.
Can I take a day to think about it?
I'll give you my answer tomorrow.
I look forward to a good response.
An interpreter?
I think I'll accept it.
I think the me of half a year wouldn't but
since meeting you, I have changed a little.
You'll do the interpreting so that you can live with me?
That's not it.
My life that had stopped, has started moving forward again.
I'm sure that this job will bring some kind of new opportunities my way.
I have that feeling.
But an interpreter...
I haven't spoken German in half a year.
I'll have to study again.
At the beginning of next month, I'll be taking a break for two weeks.
I've already let the head office know...
Make sure you come back.
We'll be lonely without you.
I'm sorry.
You going on tour stripping?
I'm not a stripper.
Yep, that's what it is.
He gets 10000 yen notes put in his underwear.
What is he doing?
He must be a stripper, he's taking clothes off.
There's not a place for you in our company.
I want you to work as an interpreter.
Interpreter
This time Ichinose will play the main character.
I don't really get it but
I feel like I should be grateful.
Good morning. Morning.
Good morning. Good morning...
Those two are having an affair.
What!
A little while ago they went to the same restaurant but went in at different times
Seriously?!
At different times? Yes at different times.
The other morning I overheard something too.
*Nagi Nagi is the student's nickname for Takayanagi.
Nishiboo was chasing after him, "Nagi, Nagi"
She said that if she couldn't see him after school then during lunch would be fine.
I heard it too.
I said I can't do it.
It seemed Naginagi was troubled by it.
She's doing it with him, isn't she.
She's having an affair cause she didn't get to be an announcer?
It's shocking! Shocking!
It is shocking isn't it.
No, surely it's not like that.
Mr Takayanagi is known for being a devoted husband. And his wife is accomplished.
His children are too, but even so men will have affairs.
That's decided it. It has.
But it's completely unexpected isn't it. What's unexpected?
Good morning. Are you talking about Takanagi and Nishihara?
It's just the students gossiping. We don't know the truth.
That's right.
That teachers would believe such rumours
and sit there merrily gossiping away, it's outrageous.
Yes.
It's cold! My feet are frozen from standing at the school gates.
It looks like snow later today. Really?
Did you know? Did you know?
No... I didn't...
Good morning It’s cold, isn't it Miss Nishihara.
Yes...
Affair!
Filthy
Adultery is a crime
Adultery! Adultery! Adultery! Adultery!
For this to happen now.
Taira.
Please give me my daughter back.
Adultery! Adultery!
Give me Yui back.
