There's been a murder. Report to the scene immediately.
Your Highness! Yes, sir!
Jiipan! What's going on?
Yama-san! Right!
Cho-san! Heehee!
Gori-san!
Who are you calling Gori-san?
I was just kidding...
If you look up at the sparkling lights of the sky...
Will your overflowing tears start sparkling too?
I want to see you with a sparkling smile on my face
Let's leave yesterday behind
When did I start looking down all the time?
I had no time to see the different colors of the seasons
Every time I take a deep breath, the wind blows through my heart
Come on, let's spread our arms
If we all dream a big, sparkling dream...
Will all the time we spent worrying disappear?
I want to get there with sparkling eyes
To reach that faraway future
GIRL'S HIGH
As of now, the trial against defendant Kyoko Himeji is in session.
The defendant has committed the offense of finding herself a boyfriend...
...selfishly entering a world we've never experienced on her own...
...thereby betraying our friendship.
Therefore...
Therefore?
Guilty!
The death sentence!
Wait a minute! The death sentence!
Didn't I tell you that I'd set up a dating party for you guys?
Yeah, when?
It's been a long time since we had the physical.
But you haven't set up jack yet!
Makes you wonder whether Somebody really intends to set up this dating party?
Of course I do! I've got my boyfriend calling up a bunch of people right now.
No excuses!
Himeji...
Go...to...hell!
Just hold on!
Just what you'd expect from them. Pressuring me like this even in my dreams!
Huh?
Hello?
Hiroshi? Why are you calling me at this hour?
You finally found enough people for the party?
LOVE, DECEPTION, AND A LOVE HOTEL?
All right! After school...
In other words, just what's going to happen, Miss Kouda?
In other words, you-know-what is going to happen, Miss Eriko!
Viva Dating Party!
You two are seriously psyched about this, aren't you?
Well, how else would we get to meet guys, going to an all-girls' school?
It's all thanks to you, Hime?
The first time I saw you, Himeji, I knew...
...that you'd end up doing something really big!
I know. She'd end up doing something really big...
...or else get done by someone's really big thing!
Hey, you! None of that vulgar wordplay!
A dating party...in Shinjuku, huh?
Please let me meet somebody cute and sweet...
Maybe I'll just ask God for his help?
WHAT THE?
Listen, Eriko... WHAT THE?
By any chance are we bringing that one along, too?
It's not a matter of chance, she's in our group no matter what.
Well, aside from that...
We're meeting up in Shinjuku at 5pm. Don't be late, or we'll leave you behind!
Okay!
That Ayano's so late!
The rest of us are all here!
Maybe we should've all come together?
But she told us to go on ahead because she couldn't figure out what to wear.
Really! You amateurs really don't have a clue, do you?
It's a dating party, just dress casually!
Who are you to talk?
Here comes Ayano!
Oh! I'm late! I'm late!
The stereotype has arrived! Oh! I'm late! I'm late!
Ayano! Over here!
I'm sorry! I'm so late...
Oh!
Huh?
Are you all right?
Oh, yes, thank you very...
My name's Takanori Shimotakatani. What's yours?
Ayano...Ayano Sato.
Ayano...
Shimotakatani...
BLAM!
You little moron!
What's the big idea, creating that kind of mood before the party even starts?
Do things in order, will you?
All right, looks like everybody's here, so why don't we get going?
Uh, yeah, good idea.
KARAOKE
So anyway, your leadoff batter, Akari Kouda, will now get this party going!
Yay!
Attagirl, Kouda!
These are the only times you're ever useful!
Koudacchi, what are you going to sing?
You got it! All the station names along the Tohbu Tohjo Line!
Huh?
Yo! Yo! Yo! Ikebukuro!
Kita-Ikebukuro, Shimo-Itabashi, Ooyama, Naka-Itabashi...
Why's she rapping station names?
And the Tohjo Line too, of all things? Why's she rapping station names?
Argh! I was an idiot to leave it all to Kouda!
We're counting on you, Eriko!
Leave it to me! We're counting on you, Eriko!
Now then, No. 2 Eriko Takahashi will recite pi to the 100th decimal place!
3.14159265358979...
...3238462...6433832...
You girls are incredible. Getting so hyper without even being drunk...
Isn't this just normal?
No way is that normal!
This dating party... might be a total bust!
Hime, no worries, no worries!
Karaoke's fun, but it's a party after all! Why don't we play a game or something?
Hey! Good idea!
What kind of game?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Cavalry Game? Physically impossible.
How about Drop the Handkerchief?
We're not in grammar school! How about Drop the Handkerchief?
Shimotakatani, you can go ahead and take one first.
Ayano...you go first!
Then let's do it together!
Yeah.
Today my heart seems to be beating a little strangely!
Join the general discussion, dammit! Stop losing yourselves in your own world!
But the dating party's already underway. What's wrong with us getting a little...
That's not the point!
That's Ayano's story... but what about you?
I hope you're not seriously considering going out with her, are you now?
Huh?
I...
STARE... I...
The moment I saw first saw you, Ayano...
STARE... The moment I saw first saw you, Ayano...
I fell in love with you! With you! With you!
Shimotakatani!
The truth is, when I first met you I thought we were brought together by fate!
Do you mean that, Ayano?
Shimotakatani!
Ayano!
This is absurd.
Love at first sight at a speed-dating party?
This isn't a freakin' cartoon, you know! Love at first sight at a speed-dating party?
Oh, man! I'm so pissed, I think I'm going to sing something now!
Okay! We've been waiting for you, Yuma!
Oh, hey, can I do a duet by myself after her?
Uh, Kouda, would that even be fun?
Hime, I'm going to the bathroom, okay?
Okay, fine.
If you look up at the sparkling lights of the sky, your overflowing tears...
Hey...let's get out of here, Kyoko.
But...
Come on.
No...that just wouldn't be right...
Come on, who gives a damn?
But...
Hey, you.
Are you Ogawa, by any chance?
Yes, that's right!
You know what... these dating parties are kinda lame.
We're not having any fun at all.
Ayano's off in her own world...
Plus Himeji ran off with her boyfriend without even telling us!
She's the one who organized this!
She must be getting pounded by his big thing around now!
Hey, sorry, girls, but we're gonna leave now...
Don't mess with us!
That kind of thing is just a little too anti-social, don't you think?
What's going on, anyway?
I mean, Ogawa's been in the ladies' room forever, and...
Huh?
Wait a minute, this was a 6 on 6 party, right?
But there's only 8 of us here.
Then there's Himeji and her boyfriend, who disappeared, and then Ogawa...
Don't tell us!
Hey, Ezaki, are you sure Hime's really waiting for us at this other place?
Sure she is.
She had to take care of something, so she went on ahead.
And she told me to bring you over.
Well, but then she should've told Eriko and the others to come, too.
That wouldn't have worked out, see. She has something important to tell you.
I see, so that's why you told me to turn off my cell phone!
This is a piece of cake.
Looks like I'll be able to have my way with this one!
Hotel Seattle
Hey, Ogawa, this way! Hotel Seattle
Huh? Hotel Seattle
The number you are trying to reach is either turned off, or outside...
...the service area.
It's no good. Ogawa's not picking up her cell.
This is bad. Knowing Ogawa, there's a good chance that...
...she'd just follow anybody without the slightest suspicion.
What should we do, Kouda? That Ezaki guy's got a reputation as a real player!
Does that mean he's a womanizer?
Cut it out! Let's not talk like that! Does that mean he's a womanizer?
What should we do? If anything horrible were to happen to Ogawa, I'd...
Kouda, we all feel the same way you do.
We've got to save Ogawa right away!
You guys...
After all is said and done, you still look out for your friends, don't you?
Grrr...
There's no way in hell that...
...I'm gonna let Ogawa graduate from the school of virginity before I do!
No way! No way! We've got to stop her before anything happens!
Otherwise, I just want to get laid by some hot guy right now!
So that's how it is...that's how it is...
Ayano, hang in there. So that's how it is...that's how it is...
Suzuki, Kouda, Takahashi!
Did you find out something?
Somebody says he saw Ezaki about 10 minutes ago...
...going into a love hotel with a short girl.
Take us there, will you?
All right! Take us there, will you?
Wow! There seem to be a whole bunch of rooms, huh?
If we just wait here, Himeji will show up.
Well, any room will do, but...
Thank you for your patronage.
Something just came out!
Yeah...you're right.
Shit! I didn't think I'd have to shell out 200 bucks.
I guess I can get my money's worth if I bang her more than once.
Whatever, all I care about is screwing her...
I hope Hime gets here soon!
Hang on, Ogawa!
Until we get there...
...don't let him rip off your panties!
Wow, this room is huge!
We won't have to worry about getting bored waiting for Hime.
Wow, this is amazing...so comfortable!
Yeah, I guess so.
The thing is, here we are, all alone in this room, right?
Oh, wait! That's right! I've got to call home!
I'll be right back, okay?
Hell, the night's still young, there's plenty of time...
Still, she could've just made that call from here.
This is it, huh?
No shit, is that a 4 on 4? This is it, huh?
Jesus, a full-on orgy or something?
Oh for God's sake! Come on, we're going in! That means you three, too!
Oh, but...
Please don't make us! Save me, Mom!
What the...
Problem, guys! She's got to be in one of these occupied rooms, but...
What are we going to do?
If we don't do something, Ogawa's really gonna be screwed!
Ayano, "screwed" means, like...
The mystery has been solved.
This has been an extremely elementary case, ladies and gentlemen.
K-Kouda...
Hey, Eri...
Bullseye! The room where we can find Ogawa...
...is this one!
But...but how come?
How can you tell?
Oh, please. It's just basic deduction.
Consider Ogawa's height...she can't reach any of the higher buttons.
So it's got to be the only button on the bottom row that's dimmed out.
There's a 100% probability that Ogawa is in this room!
I hate to admit it, but that does make sense.
That's amazing, Eri and Kouda!
We should go into the room next door and find out what's going on.
Thank you for your patronage.
Let's get a move on!
But... Let's get a move on!
Just think about it a minute... what if it were...
...Ezaki and not Ogawa who picked the room, then what?
Oh, my... they really got us on that point!
Indeed, indeed.
Don't try to get out of it!
Anyway, since we already have the damn key...
I've always wanted to see inside one of these love hotels! You said it, you said it!
I wonder when we can finally go home?
Wow, that's such a huge bath!
It sure is. It's too big for just one person, huh?
Yeah! You could probably swim in it!
Listen, why don't we both...
Hey, what's this?
What do you think you're doing, huh?
But...
Sorry! That must hurt, Ezaki!
Whatever! Just turn that thing off!
Whoa!
So this is what a love hotel's like!
It's actually more ordinary than I thought.
I thought there'd be like a rotating bed or mirrors all over the place or something.
So anyway, do you hear anything?
Uh, no. Nothing yet.
But the thing is, are you sure Ezaki and your friend are really on the other side?
What are you talking about? Isn't it your job to find that out?
Uh, right.
Oh, man, I'm getting pretty bored!
But we can't just burst into the room next door.
Here we are, inside a love hotel...
...but nothing's gonna happen with these guys here.
What? Why are you looking at us like that?
Ayano, would you mind doing it with Shimotakatani here, just for a little while?
Huh?
Don't...don't be ridiculous!
Well, to tell you the truth, I'd like to see what a naked guy looks like.
What's the problem? Isn't this that kind of place anyway?
Please don't!
Get those clothes off!
Save me, Ayano! Get those clothes off!
Don't you dare defile Shimotakatani!
He's actually got really great skin!
Take it all off! Everything! He's actually got really great skin!
No, not those! Please!
Hey, who's got it worse, us or Shimotakatani?
I think we've both got it equally bad.
Oh! I think we've both got it equally bad.
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!
I'm really, really sorry, Ezaki!
Don't worry about it. Anyway, have a seat.
Okay.
Now's my chance!
Just one more push...right where she's vulnerable, and then...
I wonder if it was wrong...what I did.
What do you mean?
I organized that party, but I ditched them. And I left without even telling Ogawa...
Who the hell cares about that stuff?
Besides, right around now your friend Ogawa's...
What do you mean? What's going on with Ogawa?
Uh, no, she's fine. I don't think Ezaki would push his luck with her...
Ezaki? What's Ezaki got to do with it?
Are you saying that Ezaki took off somewhere with Ogawa?
Uh...well...you see...
What's going on, Hiroshi!
Ow, ow, ow! My head's killing me!
Huh?
Maybe because I got soaking wet? Ah...ouch!
It's not gonna get any better unless I put my head down on someone's lap!
Huh?
Medicine?
These migraine pills work really well!
Uh...thanks.
You don't need water for those, so you can go ahead and dry-swallow them!
Jeez, I just keep getting manipulated by this little twerp!
Plus it's taking forever to get into the right mood. I guess I'll have to...
Huh?
Huh? Ezaki, is something the matter?
Play time is over! And now...
...it's Adult play time, Ogawa!
I couldn't find enough people for the party, so I got Ezaki to come...
...by promising that he could do it with any of the girls.
And he decided to go for Ogawa because she seemed like easy pickings.
She was at a dating party. It's better to get banged than ignored, any...
Where's this Ezaki?
Talk to me, Hiroshi!
Okay! He usually goes to a love hotel called Seattle...they must be there.
Thanks, Hiroshi.
You and I are over as of today, all right?
Ezaki?
Let's stop fooling around, now.
You know...at a place like this... there's only one thing to do!
Ogawa! I'm coming for you, so hold on, all right?
Ogawa!
Huh?
Oh! Hime, you're finally here!
Ogawa, did anything happen to you? What about Ezaki?
Ezaki is...
Can you tell me what exactly's going on here?
Ezaki said he had a headache, so I gave him some pills.
I think his headache will be gone if he gets a good night's sleep.
Hime, Ezaki's a nice guy. He's the one who brought me here, you know!
Ogawa...
You sweet thing!
Huh?
Thank goodness!
What's the matter, Hime?
Come on, that hurts!
Hey! Hime, why are you crying?
Really, making me worry like that!
You and I may overdo it sometimes, but crying when you want to cry is all right
I can be confident for no reason It's okay, 'cos I'm included in your life
Nobody told me that's how I should feel...
What did I do, acting on my own
My heart may understand, but my heart won't let me do it
Because I'm not running at the same speed as everyone else
As long as we're deceived by "the right way to be happy"...
...or the meaning of the word "ready-made", we'll never be together
You and I may overdo it sometimes, but crying when you want to cry is all right
I can be confident for no reason It's okay, 'cos I'm included in your life
Ugh, when are they ever gonna let us go home?
I'm getting hungry.
Just pretend that you got bitten by a stray dog...
Oh!
I was gonna buy something to drink...
...and look what came out of the vending machine!
Oh my God! I don't believe this!
Damn, Eriko, you're so audacious!
