Live with me. Don't go home.
It's the first time
a man asked me to live with him.
Yui?
Interpreter? You'd do that job to 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 me!
Taira-san.
Please give my daughter back.
Give Yui back!
~ SECOND LOVE ~
My daughter is gentle and
very considerate to me as her mum.
Sure.
Suddenly ripping away my daughter from me...
is a terrible thing... for a person to do.
Don't you think so?
- I don't. - You're not Japanese so you don't get it. - I am Japanese.
But you lived 10 years in Germany?
- Yes. - So you're German now.
In high school, Yui was a "dokumo".
- What did she do? - She was a "dokumo."
What is that?
See, you're not Japanese.
A "dokumo" is an amateur model.
- Yui was a model? - 'Yui'!?
[ not 'Yui-KUN'! ]
More importantly... how are your finances?
That's crucial if you're getting married.
Married?
You're not?
I never thought about it.
How irresponsible.
No marriage plans, no money
but you live together?!
- What's going on? - Today it's not the young girl.
What young girl?
Like this...
My daughter's not that young.
You've got another woman.
How many women are you dating?
- Is my daughter one of many? - No, it's not like that.
My daughter may be just one of many to you
but she's my only daughter.
Without her income, I can't live.
If she's supporting you, she can't support me.
- Understand? - Yes.
If you won't marry her, stop toying with her.
- I'm not toying... - But you have other women!
You idiot!
Yep, a young woman is better.
1, 2.
Breathe out while pushing down.
Go!
1, 2.
- Breathe, breathe... - It hurts, stop, stop!
- OK, wide legs. - Yes.
- Straight. Wider. - No, impossible!
OK. Stretch forward.
- 1, 2. - Ah! It hurts, hurts.
Relax. Bend your knees.
1, 2.
Hurts more, hurts.
- I won't use my hands today. - What?
- No hands when we do it. - What? Boring!
- You can use yours. - So you won't hold me.
Yep.
Hmm...I can't undress like this...
His movements were
just like he was dancing.
I want to work with you again.
I'll be in Japan, February 17.
Can we meet?
Maybe an opportunity will open up for me again.
5 years ago you had the lead role.
This time, Ichinose has your role.
I'd like you to interpret for our Japan show.
An interpreter...
An interpreter.
Hear about Nishiboo and Naginagi?
Their affair is obvious.
I wouldn't do it with Naginagi for any money.
- Teachers have the highest infidelity. - Doctors are second.
- I didn't know that! - Nishiboo's no announcer
but she was still a model. Naginagi was nothing.
Girls like Naginagi.
- Not Naginagi. - No, no, no ,no!
It's not good to judge them blindly!
There's no proof.
There is proof.
Did you see them go into a hotel?
Did you see them doing it?
Teacher isn't like that!
A secret Naginagi fan?
Yuck.
Mr Takayanagi, Miss Nishihara.
Come to the headmaster's office for a moment.
What is it?
Here's unsuitable.
- Here is fine. - Mmm.
Isn't it the "adultery" incident?
It's better if everyone hears.
Miss Nishihara, are you fine with that?
Yes.
Mmm...
If you say so.
It's right in exam season...
So rumours of adultery...
Teachers are slacking off, so students are
- rumour mongering. - Miss Ueda.
- You mean Miss Nishihara and I? - That's right.
What are the rumours based on?
They say Mr Takayanagi and Miss Nishihara met at a family restaurant
and Miss Nishihara got in Mr Takayanagi's car.
Miss Nishihara met Mr Takayanagi at the school gate
- and pressured him to talk. - That's detailed.
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 saw us.
We'd inconvenience the school guards if we stayed late,
so I suggested the family restaurant.
As I am department head and Miss Nishihara is my deputy,
it's natural we meet to discuss students.
We needn't be embarrassed.
So the students are wildly misconstruing things.
This time, yes.
The students are at a gossiping age.
So can't it be handled?
Yes. We must educate them.
I am truly sorry.
Anyway, I'm very sorry I behaved in a way
that harmed Miss Nishihara.
You've done nothing wrong, Mr Takayanagi.
It's groundless gossip!
The headmaster and teachers must resolve this disturbance.
Thank you very much.
Understood. We trust you both.
I believe in our teachers.
Everyone, please do the same.
Yes.
The school, as usual
was only concerned with appearances, however...
I was happy living with him.
Sorry.
I'll take a shower.
I only now realised
my mother did just about everything for us.
Shopping, cooking, making my lunch,
cleaning, laundry, ironing, taking out rubbish,
paying bills, everything...
I'm making lunch.
- Don't worry about it. - I'm still making it.
My mother can be erratic and clingy; however
when I think she made my lunch for 20 years,
it's amazing.
Email in your answers...
Good morning.
For several days, intense soccer competition unfolded in the Pacific Ocean Cup.
Yesterday's match between Japan and New Zealand
ended with a 2-0 victory
in a splendid final.
- Your mother came. - What!? Where?
- To the harbour. - Why didn't you say anything?
You have an interesting mum.
I'm sorry if she acted strangely.
Whatever she says won't affect us.
- Ah, lunch. Here. - Thank you.
- Bye, be careful. - Take care.
- Jou, how's it going? - So-so.
Facing entrance exams feeling so-so is fine.
Thanks for breakfast.
- I'm off. - Take care.
Jou will stay at a hotel from today.
- What? - Mother, your coat.
It's a good environment for his home stretch.
What a luxury.
Why're you spacing out?
Nothing. I'm off.
Good morning.
Adultery...
Adultery! Adultery! Adultery! Adultery!
Is it true?
Is it true you're in an affair?
It's not.
I don't know why you all misunderstood, but
I'm not going out with Mr Takayanagi.
I'm living with a 27 year old, single man.
Society can't find fault with our relationship.
Also, school is a place for study.
Don't forget that.
Are you interpreting so we can live together?
That's not it.
I was stuck, and I'm moving forward again.
This job should bring me new opportunities.
Yui appeared
like a goddess come to save me.
Itadakamasu (tucking in).
From tomorrow, Kei will be an interpreter.
From tomorrow, I have to get up earlier.
How long is the job for?
Two weeks, till the show ends.
Can't you sleep?
I'm sleeping.
Have a good day.
This is our interpreter
during the tour - Taira Kei.
Nice to meet you.
Taira won the Lausanne competition at 17.
Until last year, he was a Fortner Company soloist-
an international dancer.
- Hello, Kei. - Good morning.
He also danced the lead in this work's première.
Let's welcome Kei.
After Kei rejected teaching or musicals back-up dancing,
I had no idea why he took an interpreting job.
This concept isn't new.
Can we present this to audiences?
Think of something new.
I'm always telling you
to see the whole picture.
The light needs to be more central.
Excuse me, can you lower the lights above right?
It's in the plan...ah!
1st and 2nd light to 4th.
Again, from the start.
Understood.
Thank you, everyone. Back to Lead Stage Right.
Sorry for the wait.
I thought it'd be unbearable
but I was deeply moved, far outweighing my frustration.
Faster, faster.
The concept is outworn.
Higher, higher.
A little more effort.
I understood this meant
the end of the dream I had aimed for.
- Yui... - Mm?
Would you come to see the dance?
Five years ago, it was my piece...
- What? - At that time...
I was Art Director Fortner's favourite dancer.
He got a new choreographer just for me.
But didn't he fire you?
That's right.
Fortner asked me to interpret.
Isn't that man awful?
He is awful.
But he's a great artist.
Kei, you've become understanding.
I don't like his using you.
I don't want to see his dance.
Ichinose is the dancer, not Fortner.
Besides, I realised something.
What did you realise?
You don't tell me important stuff.
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 took this job when I moved in...
- We already discussed it. - When Mum came by...
Stop asking the same thing.
It's the piece I danced.
If you want to know me better, come to it.
There aren't many chances to see Japanese contemporary dance.
I understand. I'll go.
- What's up? - You're being scary.
Scary?
Yui, I love you.
[After the show, meet me at the stage door]
Yes.
Yui, my tummy’s hurting.
Come straight away.
How's your tummy hurting?
I should call an ambulance...
That'd be embarrassing. Just come.
You're lying, right?
Eh? How'd you know?
Our hearts are connected after all.
You could tell I was lying.
Amazing!
Stop it. Don't do these things.
Why? I worry about you.
Enough. Let me be free.
Yui, you cut it out. That Taira Kei!
- I'm hanging up. - He told me earlier
he didn't want to get married.
What's so good about that feckless man?
Stop your lies!
I wasn't even lying.
Okay, I'm coming now.
You're still at hospital?
Wait, wait, wait...
Ichinose hurt himself at the hotel. He's at hospital.
- What? - He hurt an elbow; it's fine
but Ichinose refuses to dance until the test results are out.
He said he can't dance half-heartedly.
- I'm going to the hospital. - What about Fortner?
It seems we must cancel the show but...
that's a real problem.
We can't cancel this late. Understand?!
Changing the steps requires more practice.
In the M3 Solo, remove the back flip and do a Passe Tour.
Yuuto.
Do as Kei suggested.
Impossible.
Hold on...
- Wait! Wait! - Please...please...
You have a place to dance. Don't hand it over.
If I perform weakly, my standing will drop.
It's alright with your talent!
I'm not confident.
The Japanese audience will support you. You'll be glad.
I can't do it.
Kei, can you replace him?
Wait! Wait! Please! Please!
You have a place to dance.
Don't hand it over.
If I perform poorly, my standing drops.
It's alright with your talent!
I can't do it.
Kei. Can you substitute?
I can't dance better than him.
It's better if Yuuto performs.
I'll change it so he can.
I'll alter the turns...
to fit Ichinose's range.
Impossible. A solo has no partner.
It's fine.
I'll make a 'partner'.
At that time, raise your leg.
Stretch your left leg, turn and push.
Got it. Let's fix it.
We'll bind it to swing freely.
Could you sort out a bandage to fix this?
OK, choreography change.
Listen to the plan.
Ready to start in a few minutes.
Hurry, hurry.
The concept was tired.
Yes, that's right.
Yes!
Kei.
What would I have done without you?
It's done.
Yuuto! Yuuto!
- Someone call the lead, please. - Yes.
Yui...
That was amazing.
From that day on, Kei's life turned around.
- See this? - What?
It's bigger than I thought it'd be.
I'll leave the snacks here.
Yamaoka-san, did you get my name mentioned here?
The fact we didn't have to cancel is all due to you.
The Osaka show is sold out, thanks to you.
I'm glad.
We're getting requests from everywhere so
can I give them your number?
Yes!
That's all. See you.
Thank you.
Teacher, about announcing the results...
Ah, yes.
7, 8. 1, 2...
1, 2 and 3 and 4.
5. 5 and 6, 7, 8.
Yes, OK.
Shrimp, crab, shrimp.
Put in lots of crab and shrimp.
This is the 15 second version, then the 30 second version.
Crab, crab.
- Is it good? - It's good. This will be popular.
Shrimp, shrimp...
- Crab, crab. - What? Crab...
Crab, shrimp, crab, shrimp.
Crab, crab, shrimp.
It has a lot of crab and shrimp.
Yui likes tomato sauce.
1, 2, 3, 4.
5, 6, 7, 8.
2, 2, 3, 4.
5, 6, 7, 8.
Basket ball boys, widen your stride, please.
5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, 4.
5, 6, 7, 8.
A big 3, 4.
5, 6, 7, 8... lower it, yes
Yes! Set it up one more time.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Miss Nishihara.
Yes.
- Are you in a rush? - No.
Will you join me for a bit?
Sure.
Actually, I'm going out with a young man too.
- Yours is 6 years younger? - Yes...
- Mine's 20 years younger. - What?
He's only 25.
He looks like my son but
we've lived together 3 years.
Welcome.
- One milk tea. - Me too.
He's studying to be a chef.
He plans to study in France in October but
he asked me to come. I'm torn.
It's not a problem, is it?
He's 20 years younger!
Eventually I'll be cast aside... Shouldn't I give up?
Why do you need to break up?
Think about it.
In 10 years, he's 35, I'll be 55.
and when he's 45, I'll be 65.
It's fine now, but the future is horrifying.
My pride won't allow me to become baggage.
That's right...
So what's your boyfriend do?
- He's a dancer. - A dancer?!
- I bet he's broke. - That's right.
But I want to support him. He's amazing.
Really.
I bet he's beautiful naked.
- Yes, he is. - Oh...!
Your boyfriend is 25. Isn't he beautiful?
My guy is short and stout.
I've been wanting someone to talk to. Don't tell anyone, will you?
- If you like... - Sorry for the wait.
- One beer please. - Yes.
Me too.
Why'd they stop announcing results on Todai campus?
It was a Spring tradition.
But it was terrible for those who failed.
It's become a strange world.
- Results are up! - 3 from our class.
- 5 from our class. - What a feat, Miss Ueda.
We've got 3...
My son passed the exam too. Thank you.
Congratulations.
11 students got in, 8 will re-take.
I won't compare last year's but it's passable.
Good work by all teachers of third year students.
I'm back. I bought steak.
Great, great... It's all due to you.
- Where's Jou? - Jou's not coming back today.
But I bought steak.
- I have something to say. - What is it?
Let's split up.
The children will accept it.
What are you talking about?
Why must we split up?
Ask yourself the reason!
You've had no feelings for me for a long time.
I did my best to bear it.
Tonight I'm taking the children to my parents to celebrate.
As for what's next, talk to a lawyer.
I think I'll get the house.
Wait up, wait a minute, wait up!
- Let go of me! - Calm down.
How long did you think I should bear this?!
- Calm yourself down! - Get off me!
I'm home.
Welcome back!
With my first pay, I got us champagne.
- Dom Perignon. - No way!
I bought it chilled.
Dom Perignon is a waste.
From now on, I'll rake it in.
Apart from choreography, I'm getting dancing work.
I'm going to dance in a commercial.
Awesome. I'll see you on television?
Yes.
I haven't any champagne glasses.
I should have bought them too.
No, that's too luxurious.
- Congratulations! - What for?
Your first performance.
It's because of you.
It's because you're talented.
OK, I'm grateful to my talent and to you. Cheers!
- Nice! - So good!
But it's like beer in these glasses.
Borrow, line up, bend to finish...
This part of the body is...
- Ear. - Kurosawa.
Ear. Next question.
How come the children accept it?! . .
She told them on the way! . .
What?! . .
You truly did become my goddess. . .
If I hadn't met you...
I wouldn't have accepted the interpreter job
or gotten 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?
It's close to the gym and school.
And there are public baths below us.
Let's go for a bath.
Yes!
Weren't we going for a bath?
We can have a bath afterwards.
Aren't we doing it too much?
You don't like it?
Nothing of the sort.
I didn't know anything.
It was only the two of us who were happy.
