No to false accusations! No to false accusations!! (Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, 1995)
We're against false accusations! Stop with the false accusations!
- No to false accusation! - Stop with the false accusation!
- Masaru is innocent! - Masaru!
- He's innocent! - Masaru! Are you okay!?
- We promise we'll get you out! - Masaru!
Regarding the victim Ezawa Miyoko who was ruthlessly killed...
...while volunteering during the earthquake rebuilding...
Her parents have made a brave appearance despite the agony they are going through.
Meanwhile, there is a frenzied gathering here in front of the courthouse...
...as people who support the accused are protesting against false accusation.
Mr. Prosecutor! My son didn't do anything!
Sir, what is your outlook on the outcome of this trial?
Please let him through. Step away for a bit!
As the prosecutor, what are your thoughts about the trial?
- What do you think about false accusation? - I will do my best.
- Please give him space! - The accused is still...
(Prosecutor Homicide Incident of Noge-cho, 7 Aug. 1995, Victim: Nishio Norito)
I'll be old for this job by 2020, I'll be retired by then.
Or before that, you'll be disciplinary dismissed.
Don't be silly.
Olympic countermeasures?
Yeah, just came from the training on guarding of dignitaries.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
I hope you'll help me.
Hello.
- Good day. - You too.
That was a lovely visitor you had there.
- It's bad to tease an old guy, you know. - She came "all the way" from where?
Kobe.
Her husband was killed in the year of the Great Hanshin Earthquake and the perp hasn't been found.
- A widow, huh. - She's impossible for you.
What is a person from Kobe doing here?
The victim was a prosecutor...
Stabbed to death more than 300 km away from the red-light district in Yokohama.
- I remember, you handled the case here, right? - That's right.
- What did the widow say? - That a new information had come out.
Mori Ryosuke, assistant to the prosecutor at the time of the incident...
"In 1995, public funds worth 7 million yen at the Kobe Public Prosecutor's Regional Office...
...had been embezzled by using fake receipts."
"Councilor Mori denied allegations that he misappropriated research activities expenses".
"He claimed that the culprit was his boss at that time, Prosecutor Nishio Norito."
Dead men tell no tales huh.
If that's the case, what's the connection with the homicide incident?
It's one of the things that's troubling me.
Wabi-Sabi Subs Presents: COLD CASE "Door of Truth"
Nishio Norito, 35 years old, born in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture... (Case 4: "False Accusation")
Earned his law degree from Osaka University. (Case 4: "False Accusation")
Oh, a success story, huh. (Note: Lawyer's hometown, Amagasaki is known for its high poverty and crime rate)
The year of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, right?
You're from Miyagi, right?
Was your home spared from the Tohoku earthquake?
Um, no. Ours got destroyed, too.
At the time of the incident, he was in charge of a trial.
So why did he come here to Yokohama?
No one knows why he ended up here.
There wasn't much foot traffic that night of the incident so there were no witnesses.
After stabbing him 12 times, perp ran away without taking anything valuable.
Could be grudge?
Got us four bullet train tickets bound for Kobe.
- Here. - Thank you.
Maybe it's better if I stay and handle things here...?
If you wanna get off this case, it's fine with me.
Just joking, boss. It's fine. I'll go!
Let's start with the prosecutor's assistant. It seems they'll be having their local elections.
(Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture)
(Mori Ryosuke, 4th District Kyoto Official Party Candidate House of Representatives Elections)
Nishio was the "Golden Boy" from college.
Smart as a whip, handsome... I couldn't hold a candle to him.
But you did tell the reporters, right?
I didn't want to tarnish his name...
But since I was being more than suspected, I could no longer hide it.
Basically, these reporters dig up the past of opposing candidates, looking for unfavorable situations.
Then, what did Prosecutor Nishio do with the money?
- I know nothing beyond that. - Any would do.
Anything suspicious.
He was acting funny at the end.
In what way?
The incident we were dealing at that time...
...a college student who had come to volunteer for the rebuilding efforts...
...was killed by a 17 year old boy living in the shelter.
It was big news back then.
The case was a slam dunk but the defendant recanted his confession...
Then it became complicated.
The defendant tried to kill himself in jail.
Did Prosecutor Nishio feel troubled?
He lost focus on the trial, maybe because of the stress.
Huh? What do you mean?
Something other than the trial, was bothering him.
Did you hear him mention places like Yokohama or Noge?
No.
But the day before he got killed...
What happened?
Something unusual.
The court's been contacting me many times. Until when are you gonna delay the pretrial discovery?
It'll be fine.
I heard you visited the accused without notifying his lawyer.
- Yeah. - What the hell were you thinking!?
Nothing.
Hey, where're you going?
What are you hiding from me!
I'm your superior so don't tell me what to do! I gotta be somewhere.
It didn't turn out "fine".
He went all the way to Yokohama... and the next day...
The day before his death, Prosecutor Nishio interviewed the accused?
Yes.
Where is the accused, Inoue Masaru?
He finished his sentence, and should have been released from prison.
- He took back his confession, right? - As ordered by his lawyer.
Just because Nishio was dead, didn't mean the trial was over.
I continued the case along with his successor, until we got the guilty verdict.
What do you think was going on with Prosecutor Nishio?
That time, he was in a total mess.
I didn't find it surprising, what happened to him.
Mrs. Inoue...
Kanagawa police are here to see you.
I haven't heard from Masaru for a long time.
I don't know where he is either.
Not even a letter or a phone call?
I just said it, didn't I? You need to have your ears checked, detective?
And even if I knew, do you think I'd tell you?
Do you still believe your son was falsely accused?
Of course! Because of that, ten years...
...such an important time in his young life, were all wasted in jail.
Not only that, he was a different person when he came home.
He became like a ghost... And suddenly left for somewhere and didn't come back.
Thank you. We'll help ourselves with the tea.
The prosecutor in charge of the case at that time, Nishio Norito...
...do you remember anything about him?
He was supposed to have met with Masaru-kun.
That prosecutor...
...was convinced that Masaru was guilty right from the start!
Wasn't there anyone on his side?
None!
Even his lawyer said that Masaru made a confession on video.
(Amagasaki Kobe City Police Headquarters)
Inoue Masaru, huh. That guy 'fessed up right away.
He was originally one of em local delinquents, but he's not really so tough inside.
We have em too... Guess you find them in any town, huh.
Well, the perp 'fessed up on video so we arrested him here.
That's him.
I came out of the shelter, and saw her...
Then, did you follow her?
She was passing through the park, so I thought I'd go through the short cut...
When there was no one around...
And then...?
I jumped her.
He took it all back once he got a lawyer.
Excuse us.
This is Det. Karibe, the one in charge of the Inoue Masaru case.
- Nice to meet you, I'm Ishikawa. - I'm Takagi.
A beauty and a fledgling huh.
Well anyways, that year was the Great Hanshin Earthquake, everything was topsy-turvy.
Former prosecutor's assistant, Mori Ryosuke said...
...that murder victim Nishio was acting strange since the start of the trial.
Do you remember anything?
Could it be he was stressed from the earthquake?
Oh, that's a good point.
Takagi's from Miyagi, that's why he knows the feeling.
Oh, is that so. Thanks, man.
His house was destroyed too, the town he grew up in, didn't fare well either.
But he was our town's hope, we expected him to become the youngest prefectural governor.
Prefectural governor?
Is that why he needed lots of money?
We all could use some money.
But his father died when he was small...
...and grew up in a single parent household.
And...
And?
Apparently, his late dad was in the yakuza.
Oh dear.
Just low-rank, two-bit gangster, who did the usual extortion stuff.
As for Nishio, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Took long with the payment huh...
Counselor Nishio...
Det. Karibe...
That was nothing.
You're doing a site inspection, aren't you?
What?
The college student volunteer was killed around this area.
That's right.
Don't make it so obvious.
The guy he was with was a dealer named Jun.
In those days, our benevolent yakuza was goin' around doing volunteer work.
Maybe so but... scumbags like Jun...
...guys who are into drugs and stimulants...
...were no help with the disaster efforts.
Was Prosecutor Nishio an addict?
There was no other way of looking at it except that.
Up and coming prosecutor, Nishio who was having trouble at work...
...was actually, a drug addict.
Could it be the reason why he embezzled the money?
But it still doesn't tell us why he came to Noge, Yokohama.
By the way, your teeth grinding had me awake all night.
Excuse me?
Oh come now Neko-san, look who's talking.
Tachikawa's late huh?
He and Det. Karibe went patrolling last night at the red light district.
By the way, Neko-san...
Who's Minako?
- Hey... - Eh?
"I wanna see Minako, even just once..."
- Shut your mouth! - You talk in your sleep.
Thanks, I'm digging in.
- Good morning. - Hey.
How's last night? Spot some nice girls?
- No big deal. - Did Karibe tell you where the dealer is?
Yeah. In Nada Ward, working as a foreign car dealer.
- Then hurry up and get your breakfast. - I know.
Don't rush me.
What can I do for ya, gents.
The name's Wakimoto Junichi but everybody calls me Jun.
From being a drug dealer, you sure reached the top, huh?
It's the fruit of sweat and toil, man.
As you can see, I'm a hard workin guy.
Do you know Nishio Norito, the prosecutor who got killed 20 years ago?
You don't have to tell me who Nishi-yan was...
He and I go a long ways back since elementary school.
The whole town went a mournin' the day he died.
My tears haven't stopped flowin' since January 17. (Day of the earthquake, 1995)
Was he one of your regular clients back then?
You cops from Kanagawa, aintcha? Whatchu come here for?
We aren't narcs.
Did you kill him 'cause he owed you money?
Nishio was a good bud o'mine. We were brothers.
I wasn't worried about the money.
I was worried about what's inside of him... His soul, man!
Oh yeah? And why is that?
He worked damn hard, y'know.
He was able to crawl out of this "No. 1 town of welfare recipients".
So what does that have to do with it?
He went up and became this big shot lawyer...
...who didn't see anymore what was happening around him.
Just like what happened at that incident!
- Masaru! - He's innocent!
- Masaru! Are you okay! - Masaru!
As I said, we have nothing more to say.
Since I'll be briefing the press at a later date, you will be...
Just 'cause Masaru's some poor, sorry-assed kid...
...he goes around killin without thought, is that what's it about?
Nobody said such a thing.
You like all that attention from em TV cameras?
I don't care about that.
Masaru didn't do nuthin, man!
- He confessed. - But he recanted, didn't he!
He came from the same town as us.
The No. 1 town of welfare recipients!
You okay with it just because you got away from that?
You gotta listen to the word, man!
And what word is that?
The town has eyes, it tells no lies.
Can I make the town stand on the witness box?
If you do it, here's a deal for you...
If you check out what the town has to say... I ain't gonna sell no more drugs...
...to your wife.
The wife was the drug addict?
What they callin "synthetic marijuana" nowadays.
When she was attendin' some ladies school in Kobe...
...unluckily, some bad girls there introduced her to the stuff...
So then, was that what you and Nishio were arguing about when Det. Karibe saw you together?
Nishio came to pay quite a sum... for that.
Then, what about the town?
What did the town have to say?
Masaru didn't kill no one. The killer was somebody else.
Then, who did?
It was...
...the Chihara Brothers. (Comedy duo/siblings)
The hell man. You makin fun of us?
Eh?
Fun--? Nah, man. I ain't makin fun of ya!
Never mind. Thanks for the tip.
There was the earthquake that year, I was an emotional wreck...
Had no one to rely on.
Is that why you took drugs?
But I'll say it again and again... My husband wasn't someone who'd steal money.
- You're not looking at the facts... - It's just unthinkable!
When you love someone...
...you only want to see the good things about that person.
There's that sort of thing too, right?
I've already changed these past 20 years...
I'm ashamed of myself in those days...
"To restore normalcy among victims as soon as possible..."
"...temporary housing are being built..."
I'm home.
Did you get my message?
I was working.
You're always pulling my leg.
You're smoking that crap again, with the kids in the house?
- Where did you go? - To work!
Who calls here every night, and hangs up every time I answer it!?
Stop it, you're acting paranoid.
When I brought the car in for service...
...they said, "There's so much mileage built up on it."
Where do you go, huh?
- I'll tell you when you're back to yourself. - Tell me now!
Kiss me.
You won't do it with me, right?
Not if you're in that state.
How are you gonna be governor, with your secret?
Secret?
I found in his briefcase...
...free publications...
...with ads...
...offering sex services.
Like escort services?
Boy services... Like bars and stuff...
Did you ask him about it?
I couldn't...
Do you remember any more details about it?
There were information of such services all over the country...
Shinjuku 2-chome...
Doyama in Osaka...
Sakuragi-cho in Yokohama...
Sakuragi-cho is next to Noge.
Finally, we got our Yokohama connection.
So why did he come to Yokohama the next day?
If he used local, chances are he'll be found out?
But this place is too far for that.
Former assistant Mori said...
...that Nishio often checked with the Crime Prevention Division.
He could immediately have gotten names and locations of male prostitutes by looking over their arrest reports.
Or maybe he was looking for someone...
Like some old boyfriend?
Yeah, there could be someone like that...
Is that a baby crib?
My daughter contacted me after a long time...
...and told me, she's expecting. - Oh, congratulations.
Congrats.
Well, she was a good kid growing up.
At the time of this incident, she was being bullied.
But I couldn't be there for her.
My wife was livid with me.
The result of this case that I prioritized over my family... remains unsolved.
Mori lost quite a bundle at the stock market in 1995.
But one week after the incident, 7 million yen was transeferred to his wife's securities account.
Did you inform the Hyogo Prefectural Police?
Nope, not yet.
Wonder if Mori would still welcome us.
Don't worry, I'll call you first thing in the morning.
I'm heading to Kobe now.
Yeah... but...
Yes? What is it?
It's nothing. I'm...
...really okay.
Do your best in your job.
Yeah, okay.
I'll take it easy when I'm done with this case.
Yeah...
Shin-chan...
Thank you.
Are you a detective too?
That's right.
Do you know Detective Ishikawa Yuri?
She's a bit pretty but a strong-minded woman who's hasn't gotten married yet.
- I know her. - Really?
- She's my elder sister. - No kidding!?
If that's the case... there she is...
- Been a long time, Yuri-chan. - Why did you come here?
Is that something you say to your sister you haven't seen for 9 years?
I already told you, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
I've started working at a bar in Ishikawa-cho so...
Come and drink there when you have the time.
You too, Mr. Handsome.
Thanks.
Haven't you caused me enough trouble?
The city cops and press are all over me because of you sticking your nose in this.
We want to know more about Prosecutor Nishio.
He cracked under the heavy responsibility of the work, that is all!
And you managed to get out from under there?
Do you think he was using those arrest reports from the police department for personal reasons?
Ah right, Nishio liked his young men, like those young callboy types you see...
...standing on the streets!
"Ishizuka Kazuya, Harmonica Alley".
A guy who does business at gay pick up areas, huh?
- It's none of your business. - Yes, it is.
We got an important trial ahead and yet you're going around chasing some male hooker!
Yeah, I'm just a lowlife bastard from some gutter town anyway, right?
Pulling out that "poor boy" crap again, huh! Stop using that excuse!
I used my brain and talent to get this job.
You who failed to become prosecutor, don't flatter yourself to thinking we're the same.
While I was busting my ass for the case...
...he was in here using arrest reports to chase his boy friends.
Who was this Ishizuka Kazuya?
Probably some guy hooker.
Is there a Harmonica Alley around here?
I wouldn't know.
Are we done here?
Yes.
Just so you know, a special investigation will be looking into the embezzlement incident.
(Noge-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama)
(Kouonza [a gay cinema in Noge])
Welcome.
Ishizuka Kazuya-san?
Nope.
You're Ishizuka from Kobe, right?
Ouch!
Okay! Oww! Okay, okay!
- We wanna ask about Nishio Norito. - I don't know anyone like that!
Then, why did you run away?
A Kobe lawyer you hung out with, you were his lover, weren't you?
- Had a lover's quarrel and then, you killed him? - I didn't kill no one!
He had it bad for you, left his wife and kids...
And chased you all the way here to Yokohama?
Ah, oww...
Ishizuka-san, 20 years ago...
...a man died in this town.
If you know something, please tell us.
Huh? I remember you.
Eh?
You came asking questions around, while I was working the streets here...
Maybe you don't remember me though.
Ah, is that so.
You've aged, huh...
Well me too, so I'm not in the position to say that to other people...
Long time no see.
Well, that's kinda funny. Guess I've been in this city that long now.
So then why did Nishio come all the way here looking for you?
Be quiet! Can't you see I'm talking to him?
Want some company?
Wanna have a good time?
I want to know about the college student who got killed at a park in Kobe.
What do you mean?
Ishizuka-kun, you witnessed it, right?
How do you know my name?
You... ain't gay, are you?
No.
Then you don't know how it is to have your ass kicked just 'cause you're gay?
No.
Attacked in the dark and left in the streets to die...
...stuff like that happen to us too.
The brothers could just easily do that to me.
- What "brothers"? - Nothing. Forget it.
Anyways, I know nothing.
And I ain't goin back to that town again.
The kid suspected for the crime is going to be tried in court.
He tried to kill himself.
Just 17 years old.
If you've seen the killer...
...I want you to tell me.
Ishizuka-kun...
The two who run a dormitory.
What do you mean by "two"?
They came from Tokyo, renovated a vacant house...
...and made it into a dorm and guest house where volunteers can stay...
...claiming it's an NPO or somethin'.
What were those guys up to?
It was a front to do their shady stuff. Behind closed doors, they'd be snortin' drugs.
And when they see queens like me, they'd beat us up.
We had to warn each other, "Watch out for the Chihara Brothers".
Chi... Chihara Brothers?
Did you tell the cops?
I did... To a cop named Karibe.
You told Karibe what you saw?
But he said I was lyin.
That I didn't see nothing.
And that I better get out of town.
So then Karibe was the reason you came to Yokohama.
Told me never to come back to that town again.
That if he sees me there, he'll kill me.
Det. Karibe ignored a tip, is that what it means?
Or maybe because Karibe already eked out a confession from the kid suspect...
...he didn't want to overturn a seemingly closed case?
Let's go a step further...
What if Det. Karibe killed Nishio...
Prosecutor Nishio finding Kazuya Ishizuka... What if that was the motive...
But for sure, we would have seen something in the confession video...
Oh right, you and Det. Karibe are pals, right?
'Cause you spent a night together in Kobe, right?
Shuddup.
Just reluctant to doubt a fellow cop, is all.
Ah, Inoue Masaru, who went missing after his release, we just found out where he is.
It seems he notified his parole officer his change of address.
You okay? Does anything hurt?
Masaru-san, you have visitors.
You fooled us.
Since you said "Chihara Brothers", we thought for sure you were joking.
Pops, you're too slow on the uptake. Was talkin 'bout the image.
One's rough, the other's lanky... So that's what we named them.
You shoulda told us their real names.
Sanada Tamotsu and Akira, the "Sanada Brothers."
Like Sanada brothers, Nobuyuki and Yukimura... (Samurai brothers during the Sengoku Period)
I'd get it if you used the nickname, "Sanada Maru". (Currently, the taiga drama on NHK)
Boring.
Why didn't you tell the cops?
And what will happen if I did?
Visiting NPO volunteers from Tokyo were like saints here. Hah!
But Nishio believed in you.
He found the eyewitness.
- You shittin me. - Nope.
In Noge, Yokohama.
Then, Nishio...
...Was trying to prove that Inoue Masaru was innocent.
So... we both kept our promises.
Help us find those brothers.
We want you to tell us about Det. Karibe.
Got nothing to tell.
Why now...
When everythin's done and over with.
Doesn't matter anymore.
You knew Prosecutor Nishio?
He visited me once.
- How about this death? - Yeah.
Because he died, an even tougher prosecutor took his place.
He got slain trying to prove your innocence.
Even so...
...it doesn't matter.
He won't be able to save me in the end, anyway.
I may have not died in the earthquake...
But I still died back then.
I died in that trial.
I've been dead for the past 20 years.
But...
...you are living now.
You're now working here... For those people.
We all need you.
You are not alone.
We can't do without you.
I...
...just happened to be passin by...
And found the body of the female college student.
And then...
That cop arrested me, said he knew about it.
Wonder when will this town go back to its original state.
Ain't we going to the station?
Must be hard living in those shelters, huh.
You're probably okay with it, but it must be tough on your mom, right?
Yeah. We wanna get out of there, as soon as possible.
That night, you said, you couldn't sleep...
And then, you went out for a walk up to that place?
- That's just a lie, wasn't it! - No, it's the truth!
Your footprints were all over the scene.
'Cause I play baseball in that park.
What happened when you saw that girl walking?
- I didn't see her. - Sure you did.
You were hiding in the rubble, and watched her pass by, right?
I didn't see--
Why did you hit me...
'Cause you're lyin to me, boy.
But I didn't see her...
Listen kid, and listen well...
They'll be holding the lottery for temporary housing soon.
You wanna live there temporarily with your mom, don't you?
That's why you killed her.
I didn't... kill no one!
No one's gonna save you.
Maybe I'll try askin' your mom.
I'll bring her down here and have a talk with her!
Tell her that her son is a murderin punk!
No, no! Please don't do that!
Then, do what I say!
How long were you there?
'Til I said what he wanted me to say.
Then he took me to the station, and had me say it on video.
While he was beating me up...
...gradually, it got me believing...
...felt like maybe I really did do it...
And that... maybe my mom will be happier...
...since I've been nothin' but a nuisance to her...
Then, maybe it's better if I just go ahead and say it.
But then...
...after I got out of prison, and saw my mom smiling...
I thought, while I was in jail, this woman...
...got to live a normal life, and eat normal food...
...somehow it made me angry... and became really hateful.
Is that why you left home?
Thank you...
...for telling us the truth.
Thank you.
My hometown was also affected by the earthquake five years ago.
I know you're still hurting a lot...
But please, don't give up.
Talking threats is basically an art form.
Anyways, my style is to be in control of the conversation.
I scare the chump into talking, by not saying anything.
Yeah, exactly. It usually works on the dumb ones.
You can't just shout at them.
Making interrogation rooms visible lately, is a pain in the neck.
But a simple procedure is when there's two of em, and the scared one confesses.
When the stubborn one hears his partner has sang, he understands right away, right?
The expression changes and become like a different person. But what if it still doesn't work?
I pull out the "family sympathy" card.
Like "Your kid's sick? I'm sure it must be hard".
- If that doesn't work either, we go for a drive. - Right.
- In Yokohama, we got the old shipyard site. - Nice.
I bring them down there, and without a word, I'd punch em in the stomach.
- Must never touch the face. - And not leave any bruises.
So... what about you.
Hmm? Ah, well. Nowadays, needless to say, there's the abandoned houses here in the past.
Is that where you took Inoue Masaru?
I'm right, aren't I?
I saw his face on the video. He looked scared shitless!
- He took only 20 minutes. - Gah! Only?
Too easy, it was anti-climactic!
- Though he didn't do it? - Maybe...
Even so, who cares, right?
That lets you sleep well at night?
What's going on.
You're screwed, man.
You have no authority here.
Your boss is here, too.
- You played a fellow cop! - When you resort to forced confessions...
...you ain't no "fellow" of mine!
The kid was there at the scene, right after the incident.
So you set him up as the culprit.
But Ishizuka Kazuya saw the brothers, Sanada Tamotsu and Akira, do the crime.
Kazuya's just some dumb queer!
You realized you arrested the wrong guy...
...but you hid your failure in order to protect yourself.
You knew the prosecutor was moving in, so you made a dash for Yokohama overnight.
Masaru made his confession.
His good nature and love for his mom...
...you took advantage of those!
It was right after the earthquake, everything was crazy and messed up.
You wouldn't understand anything.
You went to Yokohama to find Nishio.
He said I arrested the wrong guy...
And that he had found a witness, so I should come over to Yokohama.
Did you know about Ishizuka Kazuya?
Counselor, be reasonable.
Are you going to send an innocent boy to jail?
Went through the trouble of arranging this major case for you, and yet this is the thanks I get?
Don't make me laugh. This is a false accusation incident.
The kid ain't got no future anyway.
We can start over and set this right.
- It's too late for that. - I'll negotiate with the judge...
And withdraw the case.
And screw our careers?
And whose fault is that, huh?
What's more important, his life or our careers?
Think it through, Nishio.
You crawled your way out of the worst town...
You're gonna be the future governor, man!
You're gonna give up all that for that piece of trash?
Yeah, I guess I am.
Not if I can help it.
Oh yeah? Then, what're you gonna do?
Take me into a deserted building?
You're a disgrace, Karibe!

♫ But you can't see his blood
♫ It's nothing but some feelings That this old dog kicked up
♫ It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowning in the flood
(Major Political Shake-up: Mr. Mori Ryosuke, Pulls Out of Race In Light of Embezzlement Suspicion) ♫ You see I've always been a fighter But without you I give up
♫ Now I can't sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be
♫ Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
♫ But, baby, that's just me
♫ And I will love you, baby, always
♫ And I'll be there forever and a day, always
♫ I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
♫ 'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
♫ And I know when I die, You'll be on my mind
♫ And I'll love you always
♫ Now your pictures that you left behind
♫ Are just memories of a different life
♫ Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
♫ One that made you have to say goodbye
♫ What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
♫ To touch your lips, to hold you near
♫ When you say your prayers, try to understand
♫ I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
♫ When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
♫ When he says the words you've been needing to hear
♫ I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
♫ To say to you 'til the end of time
♫ And I will love you, baby, always
♫ And I'll be there forever and a day
Just listen and try to be calm.
They pulled out a drowned body off Yokohama Port.
They checked the identity...
...it was Nakayama Chika.
Most likely a suicide.
