I want you to come with me to India.
"Sayaka Kuroki" The second reason why a man
"Yuichi Kashiwagi" decides to get married, is transfer.
So does that mean...
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Sayaka, I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.
- Me too. - I'm finally getting married,
and my partner is such a wonderful person.
At this moment, I must be the happiest person
in the world.
I'm anxious about living in India, but it's just for a couple of years
for a transfer. And Bangalore, where we are going,
seems more accommodating than the other cities in India.
This is our last day here.
It must have been hard for you here, right after we got married.
It's fine. I was with you. Our life here was fun too.
Let's buy a house when we return to Tokyo.
A white house with a yard.
Really? Then can I get a dog?
Of course.
But, don't you want kids now?
No, Yuichi, not right now.
Oh, Yuichi!
I'm glad that I was finally able to tell you.
What?
I wish you had asked me sooner.
It's hard to say these things.
Don't hesitate! We'll be husband and wife now!
Oh my!
Thanks.
But it's hard asking you...
to quit your job and come to Chennai with me.
Not at all. I love India.
We'll be husband and wife now.
What? Wait one second. "Quit your job?"
"Chennai?"
Yuichi.
You're not going to Bangalore?
No, it's not Bangalore, it's Chennai.
- Chennai? - Yes.
"Bangalore"
"Chennai, 320 km from Bangalore"
I told you, but I finally got a permit to start my business.
I found a business partner, and I leased a small office too.
Until I can get a loan from somewhere,
I'll use my savings and severance pay to run my business,
but I did use quite a bit of that for that ring.
What? Did he just say "Start a business"?
"Starting a business" It's not a transfer?
Starting a business?
You are starting your business in India?
Yes. My father originally worked
to build an electronics market in South East Asia and India.
What kind of a job is that?
Can we earn a living with that job?
Oh no, I was so elated I didn't ask about those important details.
Japan's manufacturing may be cut off from the world if we go on this way.
I can't deal with this situation.
I want to ask him, but I don't want to ask him.
If I ask him, my happiness might spill out
like water from the palm of my hand.
It's an opportunity for Japan to be the leader in manufacturing again.
I want to lead the way.
Oh yes,
I think it's a great ambition...
but is it going to be successful?
Is it safe?
That's not taking over your father's business, right?
He's against it.
Graduate from a good college, and work for a top ranking company.
That's the life my father wishes me to lead.
I found something I should do.
This is the thing I want to do, despite my father being against it.
So, I can't count on anything.
I'll cut the line of retreat and do everything myself.
No...
I won't return to Japan until I'm successful.
No, I'm planning to live there permanently to do this.
Permanently?
Wait!
My love was finally fulfilled,
can't we just spend a regular newlywed life in Japan?
"Hiroto Usami" Usami,
"Soichi Kashiwagi" this is not that easy.
Let me think about it a bit.
"Owner, Bar Cliff"
It's unusual to see you in dismay.
This is where it starts!
Yuichi, what do you like about me?
I haven't known you that long, but you made me realise something.
Sayaka, you are fun to be with,
and I can laugh from the bottom of my heart.
We'll be getting married and starting a family,
so the most important thing is to spend time together laughing.
Ah, also...
Also?
When you were helping me out with the inserts at the warehouse,
do you remember saying that you could live anywhere?
Yes.
That's when I thought...
I could be anywhere with you.
I realised I didn't want to marry anyone other than you.
Sayaka, you make things happen,
you are a problem solver and you are strong willed.
You really are an ideal woman.
Who is?
I'm not like that...
Oh no, Yuichi, you are totally mistaken about me.
I can't wait to show you around Chennai.
Chennai gets hot, so the hottest temperature is like 45 degrees.
I see.
Let me sort this out.
I checked how Yuichi felt about me.
He told me he loved me.
He proposed to me, asking me to go with him.
Then, we kissed at the beach.
Until this point, everything was perfect.
No, it's better than perfect. The problem is afterwards.
He said he's going to India.
It's not Bangalore, but Chennai.
It's not a transfer, but starting his own business,
and living there permanently against his father's wishes.
Chennai.
Oh?
A sigh? Did I sigh just now?
No, Sayaka. Wait one second, Sayaka.
He proposed to you. Be happy, Sayaka.
I should be very happy right now.
Why do I look like this?
Everything happened as I planned.
I'm so talented, I scare myself.
Maybe I'll start a marriage agency as a side business.
Or, I could be a commentator.
So? When are you going to meet his parents?
We'll go and see them this weekend.
Be very careful not to be impolite to them.
I was negotiating with CEO Kashiwagi to be a sponsor
for that new magazine going abroad,
I'm having a tough time with it.
We want more media exposure as we reach our 30th anniversary.
But in as much we're dealing with a new medium
and a new worldwide magazine's main sponsor,
our public image is of major concern. I have to be cautious.
Let me think it over a bit.
I understand. I will present it next time to get your approval.
Was that what you were doing?
I never thought you would get your marriage together before that.
But, it might be easier for me to negotiate with him.
Are you trying to take advantage of my marriage?
You're getting married thanks to me. You can contribute a bit, right?
I'll tell you now, but that CEO is a tough one.
I don't think a crude one like you will be liked by him that easily.
Think about it. You're marrying his eldest son.
Yuichi Kashiwagi is his only child. He's going to be strict with you.
But Chief Editor,
he asked me to go to India, and I'm actually not sure about it.
Why not? You like India.
I do, but it's not for a trip. It's forever!
Don't be afraid to change your environment.
It's great that he's so ambitious. That's pretty rare these days.
But his business might fail.
I told you to support him if a man is unemployed.
It's not that simple.
Move there permanently? I may not be able to come back.
I've only lived in Japan my whole life.
I can't live in India.
U...
don't think you are that weak.
Chief Editor.
Hey, everyone.
Kuroki is getting married!
Wait!
"Tetsuo Nakajima" For real?
"Takako Miura" Congratulations, Sayaka!
"Yuko Sugi" Kuroki, you did it!
Congratulations.
That's great.
"Chieri Okuzono" That's great.
Well, how about that.
"Survival Wedding"
"A letter of resignation"
Can't you think it over?
I'm sorry.
"Takahiro Tanihara" Junior is resigning? When?
"Notice of resignation" "Yuichi Kashiwagi"
Next month?
"Yoshinori Nagase" Kashiwagi is quitting?
He's getting married!
"Misato Kurihara" Who is he getting married to?
Could it be?
It's Kuroki.
I can't believe you actually managed to pull it off in six months.
And your partner is that prince Kashiwagi.
Good job!
Thank you very much.
"Ryota Takahashi" I always knew you had guts,
but you are going to India? That's incredible.
Hey Kuroki,
what is so different between you and me?
What is the factor?
"Mai Hashimoto" That means you are quitting riz.
We'll miss you.
Mai.
Hey, we'll start the editorial conference.
Yes.
That's all for October's line up.
Some of you may already know,
but riz will be going worldwide.
First, we'll start a sister magazine in Asia.
I'll be busy with that, so Sugi...
Yes.
- Tetsuo. - Yes.
You two work will lead riz in Japan.
Yes.
Miura and Okuzono...
Okuzono will work with me to work on the sister magazine.
Yes.
Roger.
Kuroki will--
Oh, once you finish your last column, you'll be in India.
So your load will increase, but I'm counting on you.
Yes.
Hey Okuzono, come see me.
Me?
Yes.
What is this? Aren't you happy?
Don't you want to get married?
I'm happy. Of course I want to get married.
However, do you really think such a kind person like him
is going to be successful with his own business in India?
It will definitely take some time.
You'll have to say goodbye to a stable life for a while.
He thinks
that I'm this tough woman who can survive in India or in Africa.
That story that I slept outdoors,
I actually got scared right away and looked for a hotel.
Ah, you exaggerated and that's why he fell for you.
I've seen the standard of living there,
and it isn't something I look forward to.
I didn't go to Chennai since it was too hot.
I went to India to experience the extraordinary,
but I wouldn't want to make that my regular life.
I'm not going to India.
I'll keep my current job and start a family full of smiles in Japan.
I wish he could say that to me?
It's impossible. His look was very serious.
Why don't you tell your prince directly that you're still unsure?
I can't tell him I'm unsure about such an ideal person.
If I say such a thing, everything will be over.
You thought he was a rich boy, but your expectations were off.
Isn't it better that he's not controlled by his parents?
There's something else that's bothering me,
other than India.
What do you mean?
I can't exactly figure it out.
Come on in.
Excuse me.
I'll make you tea, please have a seat.
Don't worry about it. Shall I do it?
Some tea?
It can wait.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Things have to change!
Can't you tell from the re-lowering of the inflation rate?
If you are a news anchor, read newspapers!
You are going to debut as an actress?
Are you reading scripts more than newspapers?
This is his father.
He's going to be my father-in-law,
I feel like I'm the one being scolded.
Oh, this channel.
Don't worry about it.
Hiring foreign workers is only a temporary solution.
But are they really related?
Once he's decided, he won't budge.
Maybe he got that stubbornness from his father.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
My father is actually very lonely.
When business owners succeed,
people flock around him for money and various interests.
My father is surrounded by those types of people...
but when finances were slumping, they all left.
What remains in the end is family.
As far as my father is concerned, he trusts no one but my mother.
When I realised that,
I thought that marriage and family are very powerful.
Yes.
"Ask expert CEOs. What will happen to Japan's future?"
He's the father of this kind person,
he might be a really nice person.
Maybe he'll talk to Yuichi
and keep him in Japan.
Go educate yourself, you idiot!
Let's drink.
It's delicious!
"Delicious. Disgu(sting)" It's disgu...
"Disgu"?
It's a wonderful taste.
There's more.
Oh no, I'm scared.
Father.
This is Sayaka Kuroki.
Nice to meet you, my name is Sayaka Kuroki.
"Sayuri Kashiwagi" Nice to meet you.
Thank you for taking care of Yuichi all the time.
Not at all. Yuichi is always taking care of me.
So you two work together?
Yes, we did.
I'm an editor for a magazine,
it's a women's magazine called riz.
Ah! That's popular among young people.
Thank you very much.
So what's going on today?
Father, we're--
You quit your job without my permission,
and now you're getting married? You flake!
Honey, Sayaka is here too.
I'm thinking of her.
You work for Usami, right?
You have a worthy job,
there is no reason for you to go to India with this immature one.
What?
Don't you have any attachment to your current job?
Father.
I'll talk to the CEO of Senkyusha to reject your resignation.
Wait one second. I'm grateful that you got me into that company.
But I want to be like you--
I won't allow you to start a business.
I'm sorry, Sayaka.
Not at all.
I won't give up...
about going to India or marrying you, Sayaka.
Next week, my father's company is having an anniversary party.
I'll talk to him again there. I want you to come too.
Yuichi, why are you in such a rush?
Usami might have influenced me.
I always wanted to start a business in India,
I never did anything thinking it wasn't the right time.
When I met Usami...
If you want to accomplish something yourself, challenge the world!
Yes.
I felt he really supported me.
Chief Editor!
I'll have to talk to your mother too.
"Mieko Kuroki" Congratulations!
I'm so happy for you!
What? India?
Yes, India.
Then you'll really have to quit your job this time.
I looked forward to reading your columns.
Mum.
Back in my days,
it was normal to live with the husband's family,
but now you have many options.
Many options?
To think you can't be happy
if you don't get married is an old fashioned idea.
You work hard in Tokyo,
and everybody at work is so nice...
Usami is a very interesting person too.
Could you handle this?
Yes.
Thank you for waiting.
Okuzono?
You seem different.
You are back on your feet again?
The boss told me to change my clothes. Seeing is believing,
Seeing is... I don't remember.
What about him, then? You are over him?
Yes.
Did you hear that?
I'm glad that she's well.
Chieri, did you change your make up?
This is also boss' instructions.
Chief Editor treats us all equally.
Oh no, I'm not progressing at all.
I'm anxious. It's impossible.
Why India?
Why live there permanently?
Am I going? Am I okay with this?
Ah! What is this?
Am I experiencing the marriage blues?
You ingrate!
I heard you are getting married.
Harada.
"Chief Editor Harada, Weekly Edge" That's too bad...
that you are going to quit.
If you say something like that, I might not want to get married.
Oh? You didn't say that before.
I didn't?
- Let's do this then. - Okay.
Okay, let's do this.
Thank you.
This is a great team.
Oh, yes.
I came to talk to you about work.
Work?
You know that column you write, about marriage hunting?
It's actually very popular among the managing staff.
When I told the manager of the publications department
that you are actually getting married,
he said that it's interesting, and suggested publishing it.
Really?
Of course your six columns aren't enough,
so you'll have to add more stuff to it.
As a true documentation of marriage hunting!
You said you wanted to publish your own book, right?
Yes. It was my dream when I joined the company.
I forgot about it after I got busy with my work.
Do you want to give it a try?
I want to do it.
But... When I get married,
I'll go to India, and if I don't get married,
"Survival Wedding, Last Episode" then I'll be fired.
You'll be fired if you don't get married?
That's so silly. Don't worry about it.
If you did such a thing at a Japanese corporation,
Usami will be fired for it.
What?
Nobody besides you took it seriously.
Is that true?
What was my six-month deadline, then?
What? That would mean...
that even if I can't get married,
I won't be fired, and I'll be able to continue to work?
I'm sorry, Kuroki.
I didn't realise your talent.
I thought your toughness was the only asset you had,
so I had you gather news material.
I should have had you write more articles.
Usami is incredible.
What do you mean?
Six months ago, when you said you were quitting to get married,
Usami came to our editorial department.
Kuroki, at riz?
Yes.
That's...
Oh, Harada.
Great thing about her is not just her toughness.
Her writing has the power to attract readers.
I'll train her at riz properly.
So please.
So when you said you wanted your job back,
I contacted Usami right away.
Is that what happened?
Listen, Kuroki.
A good boss observes his subordinates carefully.
You should take care of a boss like that.
Now, think about publishing your book, okay?
Tonight is the final presentation with CEO Kashiwagi.
Please pray for me, everyone.
Section Chief said this is okay. Please use this.
Thank you very much.
When did you start dating Kashiwagi?
When...?
Everything happened so quickly.
Good for you. Kashiwagi is nice and attractive.
Yes.
That's right.
That's right. I'm going to live my life with the one I love.
That's enough to be happy for.
I don't think I could live that way.
I thought it was something only Kuroki could do.
What?
Well, Kashiwagi is quitting his job and going to India, right?
I can't jump into such an unstable life.
I wouldn't want to jump into it either, actually.
Well, he always had this quality that I was attracted to.
It's not my style to choose a guy based on his financial status.
Wow, people in publication sure are different.
I want to get married to someone I love,
but I wouldn't like someone who leads an unstable life.
Their financial status is something they've worked for,
so it would be strange to consider that separately.
That is true.
Marriage is an important choice in your life,
I want to choose my partner wisely.
I'll be going now.
Yes.
Kato! Take me out to lunch!
Okay, where do you want to go?
You like curry, right?
"Chief Editor, Usami"
Hello?
Kuroki, I forgot something.
Hey, Kuroki.
Thank you.
I'm meeting with Mr. Kashiwagi about expanding abroad,
that was close.
I almost forgot my ultimate tool for negotiations!
What negotiations are you going to do with this?
Why do you always use me for something like this?
What?
That is...
That's it. It's because you have lots of time.
Usami, thank you for waiting.
Hm.
A good boss is observing his subordinates carefully.
You should take care of a boss like that.
I got it.
What is it?
No, if I think about it,
I only talk about myself,
and I don't know anything private about you.
You are always at work, and you're always working.
I'm good at what I do. I'm handsome and yet mysterious.
Isn't that the best?
This is nice.
- This would look great on you. - Yes.
Yes, it would.
Yes, the lining is proper as well.
These buttons are the key...
These shoes are wonderful.
Which one?
This one.
This is Christian Louboutin's shoes.
Louboutin.
Louboutin,
while he was an assistant at a night club in his teens,
he was always asked to get a white fish carpaccio
for the show girls.
When he asked why, he was told that
carpaccio is placed in the toe of the high heels,
as a cushion.
From there, Louboutin's shoes
with a cushion added to the insoles were created.
So that ladies appear beautifully from every angle,
he made shoes that aren't hard on the feet.
That is the craftsman Christian Louboutin's philosophy.
It's wonderful.
How would I feel when I put these shoes on?
Take a look at the beauty of this curve.
The pin heel that goes straight down from the heel
has strength to it, without anything extraneous.
This is not just shoes, it's a work of art.
- Um. - What is it?
Can I try it on?
Huh? Weren't you listening to what I was saying?
It's not something you can just try on.
I know I'm being audacious.
I just want to try it on once in my lifetime.
It's so appealing to me, that I feel that way.
No--
Go ahead.
Oh well.
There you go.
Isn't that enough? Take them off.
Please buy this for me.
Are you an idiot?
I'll work really hard for riz.
I'll do everything I can for riz till the end.
I'll buy it for you if you really get married.
I will get married.
Oh, you said it. You really are getting married!
Yes, I am getting married.
Well please do, please do!
Oh?
Ah?
I'm going to my final presentation.
Yes, good luck.
Yes.
Hello?
Hello, Sayaka?
Your mum got hurt.
She fell on the stairs at the station.
"Kazuya Ishibashi" But don't worry,
she isn't seriously injured.
I see.
Her cell phone broke then,
and she didn't know your number,
so she contacted me to get your number.
I gave her my business card when I ran into her the last time.
I gave it to her, but you should call her too.
I got it. Thank you.
What does "backup data" mean?
How's your injury?
Are you able to take care of yourself?
I'm fine. You'd make a big deal out of nothing if I told you.
I'm worried about you.
You are there by yourself.
I thought about it since then.
If you want to go with Yuichi, go ahead.
Don't worry about me.
But, it's India.
I think India is good.
I want to go there, and I can go there from Fukuoka too.
You can, but it's abroad.
If something like this happens,
I can't get to you right away.
Oh, you know what?
You don't have to worry about money.
I figured
you probably don't have any savings,
so I had saved some money for you
to give you when you got married.
The last one was called off before I gave it to you.
I don't need it.
"Bar Cliff"
"Yuri Nakatani" What's the matter?
You are getting married and yet you look so glum.
Yuri, you look happy.
Yes, it was my dream to get married at 23.
A dream.
By the way, who is your boyfriend?
That's right! You haven't introduced him to us!
That would be me.
What?
Yuri's boyfriend is me.
- No way. - Yuri, seriously?
Yes.
Why him? Why the owner?
You said it twice.
Is it money? No, it's not money.
She's rude.
Another thing...
Owner, another glass!
Wait one second.
Are you getting married, or not?
You love him, right?
Then you should go with him to India or anywhere else and support him.
That's right.
Sayaka, you say you wish it was in Japan,
but if you can't go to India, it won't work in Japan either.
I feel sorry for him too.
He decided and proposed to you...
but you haven't answered him sincerely.
You're right.
You are right.
What's keeping you from getting married?
It's ringing.
"Chief Editor, Usami"
Chief Editor, please move up that way.
I'm sorry. He said he closed a big business deal,
and my husband forced him to drink.
I'm going to call a taxi for you. Can you say your address?
Hey, Kuroki. Kuroki!
I've taken him home before too.
I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble.
Oh, can you wait? Yuichi should be coming soon, he'll go with you.
It's fine. I know where he lives, I can manage on my own.
Chief Editor,
- we're here. - Huh?
This is your home, right?
No, it's not.
What?
Wait, be careful.
Water.
"USAMI" What?
You really live here?
"Usami"
What?
Wait one second, if someone answered the door,
how would I introduce myself?
His girlfriend, or his boyfriend...
or his child?
No one is home.
- Wait one second. - The small one.
- Okay.
I'm home.
Your water is right here.
Here are your keys.
Hey!
Are you okay?
You are so helpless.
There.
I did all this for sure, so I want that hot springs feature
next time.
Wait, there's no next time.
"Yoga trains the whole body rather than strengthening partial muscles"
"Tree pose" "increases concentration"
"Reduce calories and lose even more weight"
The Chief Editor did all this alone?
"The highest level is taught by the best"
"When you are about to fall, lean forward"
Every time he was blocked by a wall, he encouraged himself,
and went against it.
Without telling anyone...
he's probably battling against all kinds of things.
Hey, Kuroki,
the next strategy is...
Please tell me my next strategy.
Chief Editor.
What should I do?
Usami and Sayaka?
I tried to keep her until you came.
She said she was fine alone since she knows where Usami lives.
He misunderstands me.
He thinks that I have a big sisterly disposition...
that I'm a tough woman who can live anywhere in the world.
In reality, however...
I can't live without a convenience store or a department store.
I'm just a regular 30-year old female.
I want to cherish my time with my friends.
I don't want to leave my family.
I want to have and raise my child in Japan.
I don't want to live...
an unstable life.
And...
u...
want to work with you more.
"Yuichi, one voicemail and missed call"
Sayaka, is Usami okay?
I'm sorry I didn't make it on time.
Sayaka,
thank you for saying you would go to India with me.
I know I'm trying to take you
to an unknown land
because of my selfishness.
So I want to introduce you and your mother
to Chennai properly.
Everyone doesn't think so, but Chennai is safe,
and is a great place.
I'll send you pictures that I took of Chennai.
I can't right away,
but if Sayaka's mum wishes,
then I want her to be able to live with us in the future.
I'll work really hard for it.
I'm sorry.
I can't...
go.
"Survival Wedding, Final Episode. A Choice"
"What is my choice?"
"Final Episode Preview" We shouldn't be together.
I'm sorry.
What's important is not what choices you make,
it's how you live your life you've chosen.
That's all.
Sayaka?
I heard you are getting married.
I'm going to tell you.
What?
I love you too!
Why is this something you should do?
It's because you are my subordinate.
"The Quest"
The Quest has started. Tonight, it's rare animal hunter, Ms Imoto,
World Tour, and The Quest Aquarium project.
"Yuya Tegoshi, NEWS"
"Daisuke Miyagawa" Yeah!
"Kazuko Kurosawa, Tomoko Murakami Miyuki Oshima, Morisanchu"
"Ayako Imoto" Hello, hello.
"Asako Ito" Hello.
- First up is Ms Imoto. - Yes.
So Antarctica is over,
and even when it's over, you're still working as usual.
- Right? - Yes, working as usual.
- You went to Australia. - I did.
I'm going out twice a month like usual.
Where did you go this time?
This time, I went to China.
I've been to China six times already,
but I went to the southern parts that I hadn't visited.
I went to Yunnan and Hunan.
It was a great place. My impression of China changed.
The last time I was in China was for the back flip, so it was bad.
