(Are you in love?)
(Are you in love? How many people can say yes when they hear that question?)
(Why aren't you in love?)
Cheers! (Why aren't you in love?)
Cheers!
- To a great time! - Yay!
(I haven't found "the" guy. 29 years old, saleswoman)
Do you have the data for today?

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you. (Right now, work is more interesting than love. 32 years old, company employee)
- Yeah I've been too worried about the past. - The present is important!
(It's just more fun to be with the girls. 28 years old, beautician) - Yeah I've been too worried about the past. - The present is important!
Ah, speaking of which, where should we eat? (It's just more fun to be with the girls. 28 years old, beautician)
- Italian! - Ah, then (It's just more fun to be with the girls. 28 years old, beautician)
- there's a place in Ebisu. - The one with the cool chef? (It's just more fun to be with the girls. 28 years old, beautician)

(I don't have the chance to meet people. 27 years old, part timer)
(I forgot how to love. 35 years old, medical office worker)
Anyway, that's not like me.
Love is troublesome.
- Troublesome? - Yeah.
Liking people, hating people. Going out and then breaking up.
I've had enough of all that.
- Yeah, love does have all that. - So then,
what about you Takahashi? Do you have a girlfriend?
- Yeah, for now. - What!?
Really? How nice. I respect that.
- Oh Fujii! - Oh!
- A nice butt as always. - Tamu-san too
you've a nice big one!
- Yay! - Yay!
Oh...
No wonder you can't find love, you're not even a lady.
- Huh? Why? - Well,
do you usually let guys touch your butt like that?
That's probably when you stop getting guys.
Ah, sorry.
No, I get it.
Next time, I won't go for the behind.
I'll go for the front.
Haha. I'm hungry.
Ah hey, Tamu-san. Want to go eat later?
Sorry, I can't go today. It's my wedding anniversary today.
My wife made a big deal about being back early.
Ah. Takahashi?
Ah, I have a date with my girlfriend today.
(Love is troublesome. 26 year old, stage lighter)
I see. (Love is troublesome. 26 year old, stage lighter)
Shibuya? Okay. Yeah. It's fine.
Okay. See you.
- Girlfriend? - Huh?
No. It was a friend from college.
Ah, I see.
You're going home? Well, let's split the hotel.
No way.
Next one.
(I don't know real love. 24 year old, looking for a job) Next one.
(I don't know real love. 24 year old, looking for a job)
Okay, let's go to the next one!
- Let's go! - Sorry!
- I have to catch the last train. - Huh?
Hanzawa-san, you're not going to the after party?
Yeah. My parents are strict.
- Hey Kisaki, let's go! - Okay.
- Let's go Kisaki-san. - Hurry up!
See you next time Mako.
(They say I'm too serious. 22 year old, online shop employee) See you next time Mako.
- See you. - See you. (They say I'm too serious. 22 year old, online shop employee)
(Nowadays, 60% of unmarried women are single. 70% of those women say they want to be in love.)
(They want to be in love, but can't find it.)
(Those women are right here...)

Hello, Mom? What is it now?
What? I need a reason to call?
You're alone aren't you? How terrible.
- Whenever I call you're alone. - Sorry.
Hey, isn't it your birthday soon?
You're almost 30. You need to think about marriage now.
Ah, sorry. I'm eating now.
I'll call you later. Bye.
I'm home.
And welcome home...
(Emi, how are you? You're going to the drama club reunion tomorrow, right? I know you're busy but please come!)
Tomorrow? (Emi, how are you? You're going to the drama club reunion tomorrow, right? I know you're busy but please come!)
Tomorrow?
All right...
Ah, already that time?
This is bad...
Hirai Ken will be coming soon.
Please do your best.
- Ah, we'll be fine. - Good work!
- Good work today. - Thanks.
Hey, is your boss in today?
Ah, he was around here just now.
Really? Ah, this is one of our newcomers.
Hello. I'm Maruyama Rumi. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - She's cute!
- Take care of her Tamu-san. - Fujii.
- Nice to meet you. - Ah, boss. Misuzu-san.
- Ah, you came? - Yeah.
Do you have some time now? I just want to prep.
- Of course. Take care of this. - Sure.
What's the deal between the two of them?
- Do they have some history? - I don't think so.
- They're married. - What!?
Misuzu-san is married?
Surprising. I thought she was all about work.
Well, they're work partners as well.
It's your company that gives our company the work.
Ah, I see.
Your boss is Misuzu-san's husband so
that's why such a small company is
working in such a big space. Makes sense.
- Good work today. - Good work today.
I'm in charge of the Halloween event
so I look forward to working with you.
Oh. Me too.
That's Hikari-chan. Misuzu-san's right hand.
Ah Fujii-san, can I have a moment?
- Sure. - Sorry!
- I need a light person! - Yes! I'll be there.
- Okay. - Sorry.
Ah, okay.
Ah, how is Hasegawa-san?
- Hasegawa? - Oh, Hasegawa Yu?
Yes. I heard Misuzu-san talk about someone coming back from America.
- He's back? - What? I heard
- he went there to study lighting. - Rumi-chan.
- Ah, sorry. - When?
I think it's about 2 or 3 days from now.
Who's this Hasegawa?
Close friend of Fujii's.
Close friend?
I just wish they didn't write drama club
- on the front there. - What's wrong with that?
Well, it's a little embarrassing.
- I mean, the drama club? - Why?
Ah, but thinking about it,
the only one from then who would still be
- doing it is Fujii. - Ah...
She got pulled into it because she always helped with lighting.
- Yeah yeah. - Working for a event lighting company.
Ah, maybe she can introduce me to some cool
- part timers. - You should look
at your own company first.
You work at a publishers. Aren't there good guys there?
There are good guys and they're already in love.
I've got one of Fujii. Here.
- Hmm? - Ah!
That's when she played that guy character!
She only did it once. That's a really rare shot!
It was big news back at the girls school.
That's why Fujii-senpai was Aoba girls...
- Sorry I'm late! - She's here!
- Big brother! - Huh?
Fujii-senpai, you were so cool when you played that guy!
No, it's not that big of a deal.
She was always popular. With the girls!
- Hey! - That's the big bro for you.
Ah, she was always the cool one.
Ah, it's almost time. What should we do? Are you going to the after party?
- Yeah! Let's go! - Sorry.
My husband will be coming home soon.
- Huh? Going home already? - Sorry.
Yeah, I've got my parents looking after my kids.
I see. Tough.
Actually, I promised I would meet my boyfriend after this.
- There it is. - Yep.
- Should we get the bill then? - Yeah.
- The friendship of women is thinner than ham. - Huh?
You just can't trust your friendships with women.
- Yeah. - Fall in love, your boyfriend is first.
Get married, your husband is first. Have kids, they're first.
- Women are like that. - You're a woman too.
Anyway, we go back home all alone.
- Just you and me. - Hey hey.
- Don't lump me with you. - But we are together.
Yeah, but...
I've been getting a little sad of
going back to a dark place everyday.
Oh, that's surprising! I didn't know you were like that Saki.
- Hey. - Hmm?
- Let's live together? - Huh?
- Let's share a place! - Share a place?
We won't be lonely. And we can get a better place than we have now!
And we would pay less on rent and save money!
Oh, that's a good idea! My lease is almost up.
And I've known you since high school so you're okay.
I know all about you and I can definitely trust you.
Okay? I think the two of us could really make it work.
Saki.
- Ah, we should get one more. - Huh?
Excuse me. Another one please.
I said that the friendship of women is thinner than ham.
- Yeah, so what? - We can't have just two!
If one of us goes, it will be bad news.
But you just said the two of us
- could make it work... - Hey did you know?
There's a team of all women in the South Pole and they have an odd number.
- So they don't break into even numbers. - I see.
I'll look among my friends. If I find someone, I'll call you.
Okay.
Expensive!
- Good work today! - Good work.
Ah Misuzu-san, is that a handmade bento from your wife?
- Hmm? - How nice.
Handmade yes, but not from my wife.
- What? - I made this myself.
- I pride myself on being independent. - Huh, independent?
But it's nice when a woman does that for you.
You get married but your wife still lets you be free and independent.
No no no, it's different nowadays.
Now when you get married the ideal is the husband supports the family.
- Really? - Huh? Is that the dream?
Hmm, a lunch from your wife is nice though.
Yu!
Well, convenience store onigiri isn't bad either.
Oh Hasegawa! You're back!
I just got back. Thanks as always.
- Hey Hasegawa! - Tamu-san!
- Welcome back. - This is the newcomer, Takahashi.
I'm the newcomer, Takahashi. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Hasegawa.
- Hey, where's the welcome home for me? - Give it back to me.
- Your youth? - The onigiri!
Hey, wait! Give it back! Hey!
You should've let me know you were coming back home.
If I did, would you have gotten me a bunch of flowers?
What? Of course not. Idiot.
Right? So I figured surprising you would be more fun.
- Can I get the 10 meter 30C? - Here's the 10 meter.
Thank you. It was pretty amazing over there.
That's when I actually started to get my focus.
Huh. Maybe you should've studied there a little more.
What? You're not happy to see me?
Your best friend comes back after a year away.
- Nope, not happy at all. - Chop!
- Ow! - Ahh! It's fine.
Then maybe I'll go back and have that blond
- Jennifer teach me again. - Oh, Jennifer?
Yeah, then you can have Jennifer teach you everything she knows.
Ow!
- Hello. - Found her.
- Our three person team. - Huh?
Hanzawa Mako. Two years below us. Ah, she was Chekhov.
Oh! Chekhov Mako?
Kisaki-san, here's the data.
That was quick. Thanks.
Sorry. I know you're only dispatch but you have to do overtime.
- Are you okay getting home? - I'm fine. It's just work.
I see. I thought about saying thanks with dinner,
- but probably can't do it today. - Huh?
I'll give you my number so you can let me know when you're free.
Okay.
She's reliable but...
Maybe stubborn? Or too serious?
That's fine. That's just who she is.
Fujii-senpai! Saki-senpai!
Excuse me. Sorry.
I was really happy to hear from you Saki-senpai.
Your parents are strict, but they're okay with this?
I was able to persuade them because it was three women.
Oh, a cake shop. Oh, a birthday cake.
- You're right. - When are your birthdays?
- I'm June. - I'm next week.
What? You're gaining another year then.
What do you want for your birthday present?
- Are you buying one? - Then maybe
- something good to eat? - Really?
- Still? - Just a little more.
Just a little more.
It's my aunt's place. She's abroad now.
Thanks so much!
I almost can't believe it!
You're helping us out, but is it okay?
- Right here. - Oh!
It's so big!
- How nice. - Looks like a lot of space.
Oh, excuse me.
- Come in. - Wow!
- Excuse me. - So much space! And another room!
- Here's the living room. - Living room?
Wow, furniture. Nice color.
- Soccer game. - How do you play this?
Like this!
- And the courtyard. - Wow!
- Here's the kitchen. - How fancy!
- I could eat a lot. - Could make a lot too.
You could stretch out your legs.
So there are three bedrooms.
So big! I'll take this one?
- Huh? - I like this one.
- I want this one. - No way!
Rock paper scissors!
- I lost... - Then I guess this is my room.
- How cute. - This is nice too.
It's yellow. That's the theme for the room.
Bigger than the old place.
Not alone anymore.
And cheaper than before.
Do you like it?
- It's nice. - This is great Mako!
- I'm glad. - Good job!
Ah, I got it. Okay.
That's why I'm living with three women, Mom.
I don't need all of this! We're not some team in the South Pole.
- You can't do that Saki-senpai! - Ah, sorry.
- I'll call you later. - And all of this!?
Don't cram the fridge full of things.
But if you freeze it, you can eat it anytime.
- This is from two years ago! - Oh, really?
Okay? This isn't a time machine.
Time still passes inside of this thing.
Well, it's a good team to be with.
Cheers!
- Ah, this is good! - The best.
- Let's eat. - Go ahead.
This is amazing. Did the ingredients cost a lot?
It's okay. It only costs each of us 500 yen.
- Really? - She's like a housewife.
Well, before we get drunk. Let's get the money.
- 500 yen? - Huh?
- Okay. - Do we pay every time?
If we keep doing this, then the savings will
help out one of us in a pinch.
- Okay. - Okay.
- It's good. - Yeah.
What is it?
Ah, nothing. Someone I work with
asked for my number but I haven't heard anything yet.
- A boyfriend? - No.
That's not it at all.
- So serious! - Hmm?
You're too serious. You can't send him a message.
- Why? - Men are hunters.
Do you think if you send him a message
before the hunt starts, it will arouse his hunting instincts?
Hunters like someone more light.
- They don't like these serious women. - Serious woman.
If you get too serious about love, it'll all be over.
You'll get that large apartment and it's over. You'll get a dog and it'll be over.
- Then you'll cheat and it's over. - What's that?
My three rules about love.
Whenever any of those three happens, you won't be able to find love.
- Hmm. - What about you Fujii-senpai?
- Are you in love? - What? Me? I'm...
I just think love is troublesome.
- Troublesome? - Guys and girls,
- I don't care about any of that. - Got it.
- There's no one around you're interested in. - No, I have some good friends.
So you never went out with any of them?
I did. Once, about three years ago.
- No way. - Yeah. We broke up after two weeks.
Really? So you call that going out?
Maybe. Anyway, we're
just better off as a really good friends he said.
How sad.
And I thought it would be a fun girl's talk.
It seems like we're in some love desert.
Yeah, I guess we're withering.
I want to be in love.
I want to be but...
I was in love but...
Can't be helped. Have to keep moving on.
What's this? Are you drunk?
Are you back in drama club?
Even if the days are long and endless,
we have to keep moving on.
There it is! Chekhov Mako.
Even if the fates are not kind, we have to get through it.
Don't just sit there, get up here!
A toast, to get out of our love desert!
Cheers!
30 more minutes...
Ah, oh no!
- Ah, morning. - Good morning.
- Where's Saki? - I think she's still sleeping.
I see. I wonder if she doesn't have to go to work.
I think she said she had today off...
Huh, that publisher gives her a lot of freedom.
- Well, I'm heading out. - See you.
See you?
Ah! I can't do that here.
No, over here.
2012 Hiring Period - Interview Information
Fujii. How much longer until you're done here?
- Ah, I'm already done. - Oh, fantastic.
I am fantastic.
Oh, is Kisaki-san out today?
Huh? That's rare.
(Kisaki-san, I saw you're out today. Are you okay?)
So then, Ogura-san.
Can you tell us why you want to work here?
Yes. The reason I want to work here is because
in elementary school, my deceased father praised me for something that I wrote.
Because of that, writing became something
special to me.
Can't be helped, you're looking for work!
You can come back here and visit the grave with Sumire.
Your father would be glad to
hear you're looking for work. Right?
Yeah. Won't forgive someone
who got fired for taking too much time off.
Anyway, Saki.
You're getting some money. Don't overdo it.
I'm not.
That's why I applied for a famous publisher.
Well, take care of yourself and sis. I'll call again.
- Yes, this is Ogura. - Sorry to call suddenly
- but can you work tomorrow? - Ah...
- I can get there after eight. - Then, sorry, but could you?
Okay.
Standby. Go.
All right!
- Good job you two. - They're on the same wavelength.
Ah, those two know what the other is thinking
without even having to say anything.
- Just like we were. - What?
- I'll be back when it's over. - Okay.
- I'm back. - Welcome home.
Hey? I was asked to go to a mixer.
- A mixer? - Yeah.
Isn't it the fastest way to get out of the love desert?
- Made plans for the day after tomorrow. - The day after tomorrow!?
- But I have someone I like. - Don't be so serious.
We need to have matching numbers. And it'll be over dinner.
- Ah, how troublesome. - That word is off limits!
You wanted to get out of the love desert, right?
I don't have any clothes to wear.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
Uh, it means what I said.
What? It's all boring plain clothes.
That can't be helped! It's work clothes.
So then what? You can only wear work clothes then?
- Fujii-senpai! - What?
- You're wrong. - What?
- Let's go with a one piece. - What?
I haven't worn one in years.
It's okay. There's no guy out there who doesn't like a one piece.
- But, I don't like them. - Hmm, maybe knee length?
Ah, maybe a little...
- It would be cute if you show some arm. - Saki, wait.
- Look at the prices! - Here here.
- You should show some arm. - What?
Yeah, it would look better if you do.
- Fujii-senpai. - Hmm?
- Let's go. - What? We're not buying anything?
I wanted to go to a brand shop,
but we should find something that suits you.
Something that doesn't have the brand written all over the back.
- I see. - And actually,
if you come dress head to toe in brand name goods,
you'll actually drive guys away.
- Oh, really? - The times
call for more moderate fashion. It provokes a better feeling.
But, you can't go like you're poor.
You need to show off one thing. So we'll go with a Coach bag.
Coach?
- Please. - So for a two day rental,
- it will be 2000 yen. - It will be 2000 yen.
First time I rented something other than a DVD.
- Next, shoes. - Uh, hey.
I don't really like heels.
It's okay. You won't hurt any guy's pride.
That being said, you need the elegance of a heel to keep their interest.
- Let's go. - Okay.
See you later.
- See you later. - See you later.
- Kisaki-san. - Thanks for your message.
How about dinner tonight to say thanks?
Okay.
- Good work today. - You're damn right!
Seriously. Hey, where do you want to eat?
Ah sorry, I have plans tonight.
- What? - I'll see you.
- Hey. - Bye bye.
I'm hungry.
- Hello Mako? - What are you doing for dinner tonight?
I'm in Ginza now. Do you want to eat together at home?
Ah, I'm in the middle of something now. Sorry.
Huh?
Yeah, the friendship of women is thinner than ham.
Sorry, Fujii-senpai.
- Who was that? - A friend.
When a woman says it's just a friend, 80% of the time it's a boyfriend.
No! It's not. It was really a friend from high school.
And when they deny it, it goes up to 90%.
Haha, sorry. I'm just joking.
Ah, a joke?
Ah, where do you live? I'll take you home.
It's okay. I can get home alone.
When the man takes the woman home,
90% of the time, she'll like it.
But I'll have to settle for the 10% today.
Excuse me. Bill please.
I can't do a one piece. Young girl? What the?
What's that?
- Are you going to a mixer? - No!
Of course not.
Are you going to yakiniku tonight?
Ah? I have to go back early tonight.
I promised the girls I live with
- I would come back. - What's this?
You're going to disappoint Tamu-san. And he's so happy now.
Ah, Hasegawa-san. Do you have a moment?
Yeah, I do.
Close call.
Still?
- Use this? - Yeah.
- Here? - Yeah.
Just put on a little more, come on.
- I think this is enough... - That's enough!
Haven't you used too much?
We need to go soon or we'll be late.
- That's hot! - Don't move!
You want to be pretty, right?
- Hey. - What?
- Don't make it all sticky. - I said it'll be fine.
Thanks for waiting. Hmm?
- How is it? - Fujii-senpai, you're beautiful!
- What is it? - Huh... my crotch.
Thanks for waiting. Sorry we're late.
- Saki-chan. - We were waiting.
- Here. - Right here.
Hmm?
Ah, hello.
- Saki-chan, what are you drinking? - Hmm, gin and tonic for me.
- Mako-chan? - I'll do a cassis orange.
Ah, a cute drink. Emi-chan?
- Huh? A beer for now then. - Huh? A beer for now?
- Yeah, for now. - Oh, okay.
Cheers!
Let's get really excited today! Another toast!
- Cheers! - Mako-chan, cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Emi-chan... - Ah, good.
Cheers.
- Here. - Thanks.
- Of course. - Kisaki-san said
- that he likes thoughtful girls. - Well, good luck.
What do you all do for work?
I work at a publisher.
Wow. Mako-chan?
- I'm at a mail order company. - Oh, is it
- Good Order? - Yes.
I bought my sofa at Good Order.
- Oh really? - Really.
Emi-chan, what do you do?
- Are you a flight attendant? - No, I'm in lighting.
- Huh? - A lighting company.
Oh, that's cool. Right?
- Yeah. - Thanks.
Do you have a boyfriend, Emi-chan?
Of course she does.
- Right? - I don't at the moment.
No way! How long have you been single?
Uh...
- I don't know. - Well then,
aren't you lonely? How about me?
- Me? - Or me?
You're talking too much about Fujii-senpai.
- Ah, right. - Yeah.
- Excuse me for a second. - She ran away.
(How's the girl's party? The meat here is good!)
(Don't drink too much. You're not that good of a drinker.)
What am I doing?
I see. Well, maybe she's a little unsociable.
- Yeah. - But she's really a good person.
Fujii-senpai, she's like a diamond you need to polish.
Although she's still a little dirty now.
Then maybe I could try it out?
Really?
- Sorry. I have to go. - What? Fujii-senpai?
Sorry. My stomach is acting up.
- See you. - Huh?
Wait! What is this?
- What? - They're not your type?
Uh, this isn't my kind of place I think.
Sorry. You two have fun. I'll see you.
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
- So you're slacking off. - I'm not!
Get to work!
- Thanks for tonight. - It was good, huh?
Yeah.
There's a one percent chance, but could I ask you something?
Huh?
I'd like to bring you back to my place.
Okay.
Okay! One more drink! Let's go!
Tamu-san, you've had enough to drink!
- Just one more! - Really?
- Let's go here! - Club Fairy?
Fairy. Tamu-san.
We're with Fujii today.
Fujii is fine! She's not even a woman.
- Right, Fujii? - Sure.
Maybe there's a girl for you here.
Right? I've got the nose for this.
Thank you very much. See you.
- Right in the center. - Welcome.
We have seats for you inside. How many...
Ah, I'm a little tired. I'm going to go home early. Have fun.
Ah, sorry.
- We're okay for today. - But...
- Tamu-san, let's go. - What? Why?
She's cute. The girl in the middle. Why?
- How about karaoke? - Yeah, let's do that!
Sorry. I can't...
Sorry.
Welcome home.
- Fujii-senpai? You came home? - Yeah.
- You want tea? - I'm okay.
- Okay. - I'm back.
- You're still awake? - Saki-senpai?
Gonna laugh?
- What? - Go ahead.
You look down on girls like me, right?
All dressed up pretty, selling themselves by flattering men.
- What's going on? - Working hard to pick the right clothes,
changing your looks with makeup.
I know people like you just laugh at stuff like that.
- What's happening? - It's fine.
How nice to have confidence. Have you got
someone that you like though?
- Of course not. - Then you need makeup and
clothes. Why did you leave the mixer like that?
You make fun of me, being all
- made up. - Of course not.
You think it's all fine to not have makeup,
not dress up, just wear a shirt and jeans.
- You think you're so cool? - That's not it!
And you keep on saying love is all troublesome.
You're just afraid of getting hurt!
That's why you keep saying it's troublesome.
That's why you haven't got a man.
I said he's just a close friend.
But that's not everything.
Are you still hung up on that guy?
Don't go talking to me about that.
I don't want to hear it from someone who can't fall in love.
Don't act all high and mighty. You're a cabaret girl
playing around with men for money.
Saki-senpai!?
Stop it!
- You two! - Mako, be quiet!
Go away! Leave it to the people who've been in love!
What are you saying!?
You're not any better than me!
You can't get a man.
You can't fall in love. Whatever!
I'm... I'm...
I'm a virgin!
Huh?
Really?
Yikes.
I see. So that's why you went home.
I lost confidence while it happened.
I don't have confidence either. Can't find love, can't find a job.
I'm the same. Just keep running away.
We're still struggling
in the love desert I see.
My stomach is growling.
We can't find love and now
our stomaches are growling. How sad.
Hmm.
Hmm?
- Where's she running to? - I dunno.
Hey, how about some ham?
Huh?
Friendship of women is thinner than ham.
Thanks for waiting.
How do we eat this?
Just eat it like it is.
What did you do? It's all cut up weird.
It's in three pieces.
(From Hasegawa Yu)
Can you cut it? (From Hasegawa Yu)
(Can you meet me tomorrow? I have something I want to tell you.)
I've decided.
I'm going to fall in love again.
Huh? Love? That guy you went out for two weeks with?
He asked if we could meet tomorrow.
Tomorrow? That's your birthday.
Yeah. Well, I'll tell him how I feel when I see him.
Hmm.
Then I'll be honest with Kisaki-san.
And I'll believe I can find a good guy out there.
What's that?
Could you be a bit more serious?
What, I am. I am serious!
Let's eat. Come on.
Ah, mayonnaise.
(Happy birthday! From, Mom.)
If he wants to meet you on your birthday, something is definitely up.
If anything happens, you don't have to come home.
How's this?
- Hmm, it suits you. - Yep, it does.
Thanks.
Last time was rental but... happy birthday.
- Thanks. - Here's a love charm.
- It works. - Ooh!
- I wonder... - Hey!
- Thanks. - Are you going to use it today?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I'll put it in.
- It's big enough. - Yeah.
- We'll be late! - Oh yeah, let's go.
Ah! Oh man.
Oh man...
Are you going to the station?
- Yes. - If you'd like, you can come with me.
- But... - The bus isn't coming, right?
Please.
Hello?
Yes, I came in for the interview yesterday.
Really? Thank you very much!
Yes. Yes, the next stage...
The written exam. Yes.

Yes.
Wow! I did it!
Ah, I'm sorry.
- I'm happy for you. Congratulations. - Thanks.
It's my first time.
- Hey. - Hey.
- What's up? - Well, uh...
You seem a bit different than usual.
- I do? - Yeah.
- Oh, the money. - It's okay.
Thanks.
Thanks for taking me this far.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Shiraishi?
Shiraishi.
- For example. - Yeah.
Didn't that virgin you went after pull back?
The virgin? Yeah, I think she's too serious.
- Right? - Yeah.
Yep, I was right.
- Hmm? - Really.
- Fujii. - Yeah?
- Actually I... - Yeah?
I've decided to get married.
Huh?
Sorry I'm late.
Hello. Sorry I'm late.
- Nah. - Thanks.
Hikari-chan. You're marrying Hikari-chan?
Yeah. I wanted to tell my close friend in person.
Everytime I had off, I went to see him in America.
I've always liked Yu-chan.
- She ran after me. - Come on!
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Ai-chan,
happy birthday to you.
Congrats!
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Congrats. - Thanks.
Thank you.
Okay, let's go somewhere else and get some lunch.
- Yeah. - Ah, I'm...
- Hmm? - Uh.
I have a friend's birthday party soon.
- I have to help set up. - Really?
- Sorry. - I see.
That's why you're dressed differently today. You look great.
- I thought so too. - Right? Cute, huh?
- Huh? - Huh?
- I have to go. - Oh.
Ah, it's okay. Sorry to bother you while you're busy.
It's okay. Thanks.
Again, congratulations. See you.
(Want to be in love, but just can't make it work. Is love really that much of thing for us to ask for?)
(Maybe we...)
(Maybe we just can't find our love?)
