Where's Chikura?
I may be pregnant.
It's been 10 days since then.
Doigaki still doesn't know about it.
Should I tell him?
Um, could you be quiet?
I'm not even talking...
Thank You For Good Ratings "Meet me in Karuizawa"
What is this? A public warning?
No, not that. Actually, it's because it went up 0.6%.
That means last week was below 15%.
That's correct.
The week before?
13.1
Why didn't you tell me?!
I'm sorry.
I can't believe this!
15% means practically nobody's watching!
That's not true. On the show's webpage-
Webpage?
That kind of thing is an illness of cities!
It's a symbol that this era is sick!
TV is the king of entertainment! It's a lion!
It's really really really a lion!
Bare your fangs! Bare them!
Rawrrr! This crap!
I'm sorry, but I'm waiting for someone.
I went to the doctor's.
It seems I'm pregnant.
She finally told him.
Oh, really?
Oh, I see... No, this is... Wow, this is a problem...
I know it's a problem. But it's really a problem.
A big problem.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Fine, fine.
You don't look fine.
Doigaki?
Wait! Wait!
You look a little like De Niro.
Um, um...
What will we name it?
Before that, we have a lot to discuss.
Yeah, that's right. Let's talk.
Let's talk. Yeah, let's talk.
Um... Are you listening?
Y-Yeah, let's listen.
Ugh, this is the worst.
Please wait a minute.
Hey, Chikura.
What are you doing?
Sorry.
Don't meet her secretly.
You broke up, right?
We broke up. We're in the process.
In the process?
She's, you know, got that accent...
She's, yeah, that accent.
Do something about her.
I can't write unless I'm sitting in that seat.
Okay, that's an easy one.
I've kept you waiting.
Is everything okay?
It's her work.
She's glaring at me.
No, no, it's okay.
It's like, her show isn't getting good numbers now. She's mad.
It's weird, you know.
So, then...
What'll we do?
For now, order something.
You're great, Besshii! That was perfect.
That's because I wrote these moves.
Here.
Thanks.
What'll I do with these?
Oh, the tequila sumo prize.
They're good until the end of the month.
Then, let's go next week?
What?
They're a pair ticket, right?
But it's in Atagawa. Are you okay with work?
Note: Atagawa is about 2 hours from Tokyo.
I can make time for a one-night stay.
One night?
Yeah, one night.
Then I'll make time, too.
Then it's decided.
I'm heading back to the station.
Bye, Besshii.
Bye, Noburin.
Don't call me Noburin.
Why not?
It sounds like Harada Noburou, the folk singer from Anonenone.
Ciao.
Ciao!
Oh, excuse me.
Oh. I feel asleep from nerves.
Anyway, destiny is cynical.
The moment D and C made up,
E got pregnant.
Why did this happen?
They're incredible.
It's like they're photos; they're not moving.
It's hard to breathe.
I'll wait for Shinobu.

Sorry I'm late!
Um-
Good food
Um-
Incredible, Shinobu. Salary up!
Let me think by myself for awhile.
All right.
Excuse me.
It's okay.
There's nothing to worry about.
It's over. That's over.
How many months?
I know a good doctor. They won't leak it.
She knew?!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hide it.
I'm really an idiot.
Even though I really love you, I do things like this that can't be undone...
Really?
What?
Is she really pregnant?
She didn't know?!
Ah!
I don't believe this!
You're the worst.
Die!
What is it? What happened?
You don't need to know.
Don't cry anymore, okay?
There's a lot of people in this world even unhappier than us.
Get out.
What?
Get out of my sight.
He's a good example.
Please come again.
De Niro again.
Chikura, please check the dance moves.
I'll leave it to you.
Don't worry. The ratings'll go up this week.
What's wrong?
Makimaki is strong.
You can stand up, even when you're stepped on or kicked.
A real Biohazard Lady, right?
Something good happened to you.
Huh?
I can tell.
People down in the dumps like me
can tell.
This atmosphere is oppressive.
This isn't the time for the maternity blues.
It's maternity gray.
I thought she was an annoying, talkative girl
but when she mopes like this, I want her to feel better.
He's cute.
When people see a baby,
their cheeks unconditionally relax.
She can surely bring back her smile...
No! It had the opposite effect!
Change me into Soft Gathers!
Plus it's Doigaki's voice!
Lots of ingredients!
Argh...
Constellation Corps: Cosmo Rangers!
Argh! Doigaki works too much.
Does he plan on building a house or something?
Oh that's right, Emoto.
I'm playing a gig soon. Will you come?
When?
Nice follow-up, Shinobu.
Thursday.
Salary up again!
Please come if you can.
Thanks.
Come to think of it,
Emo-yan was into Shinobu before.
How hateful, you salary thief.
Hm?
Akabane Bessho Chikura Doigaki Emoto
As I thought.
They're lined up in alphabetical order.
What a huge discovery.
Is this destiny, too?
This means, next will be F.
If Shinobu's last name starts with F...
No, no, wait.
There's a baby in E's belly.
Alphabetical order is fine and all...
No, wait. I can't remember Shinobu's last name.
Huh?
Tenchou!
I have another gig next week, so I'll leave early.
That's all.
This is bad. I couldn't remember at all.
Even though he's working so hard.
If he knew I forgot his name, he'd be shocked.
Damnit!
I'm not going home until I remember.
We've entered commercials. 1 minute to start.
Fukuda Fujii Hozumi
Hozumi starts with H.
Fozumi?
Why am I so concerned with F?
Ah!
Wake up, energetically!
The time is 6:15.
The two of you...
...went to Atagawa hot springs in Izu, right?
That's right.
Right, Emoto?
Oh, right.
Um...
The night scenery from the open air spring at this hotel is incredible.
Emo-yan is so cute.
Iborii, get me paper and a pen.
The weekends are crowded, so you need a reservation.
She's cute too.
Paper and a pen! Iborii!
Okay, okay.
Man, you're not cute at all.
Huh?
Doesn't it look like Emo-yan's crying?
One night, two days: A trip to Atagawa...
Is something wrong?
This is Emo-yan's recommendation for this fall.
Why didn't I realize it?
I just have to look at his resume.
Come on, write the reading!
Stay tuned for horoscopes after the commercial break.
Emo-yan wails during a live broadcast! The reason why! CBS's huge mistake!
This is unbelievable.
Even though all of Japan suspects Emo-yan is pregnant,
I can't even remember Shinobu's last name.
What about your wife?
She still doesn't know.
He hasn't told her.
I-It's okay. Right?
You just sit there silently.
Are you meeting here?!
Then, after that's taken care of, let's see my parents as well.
Don't sigh!
Oh no, no. I wasn't sighing.
What is this? What should I say?
You know, when I thought about our bright future, I felt full.
So it was like the extra air just leaked out.
Is she really planning to have this baby with Doigaki?
I want to know.
Speaking of things I want to know, I really want to know
about that person.
She's on cloud 9.
Wearing vacation clothes at a time like this,
Akabane is unquestionably on Cloud 9.
Thanks for the food.
This type of car gets bad mileage.
The body is low.
With this mileage, it can't be helped if it only goes fast.
The seats are soft!
Which one?
Oh.
Damn, it's soft!
Sorry,
I'm late.
Excuse me.
I couldn't wait, so I got here early.
Let's go.
Okay!
Hey, hey.
Is this the one-night trip you even had dreams about?
I wonder how it'll turn out.
Can we listen to this tape later?
Hey, hey. Did you stay up all last night making that?
Shall we stop at a convenience store?
Hey, hey, what are you gonna buy?
Shut up!
What type of car did you drive here?
Let's go.
Okay.
Listen up, Besshii.
Yes?
You take care of Akabane.
I will.
It's fine, hurry up and go.
Okay.
Go!
Akabane banzai!
Banzai!
Take the highway!
Here you go.
Doigaki family gathering.
Do they plan to overwhelm with sheer numbers?
Is the ice cream good?
Um...
Lots of ingredients!
Recently, weekly publications are full of lies.
However, this time there's smoke without fire-
What is this?
A Japanese comedy?
Lots of ingredients!
When you pat his back, he yells "Lots of ingredients!" It's a fixed result.
Aya, could you wait outside?
I'm sorry. We won't be long.
You too.
What?
I want to speak with her alone.
Just now, we harmonized really well!
Yeah! We did!
Yes, we did.
Okay, let's harmonize more!
Okay!
Emoto,
I've been prepared for this for a long time.
However, we have children.
The youngest is still 2.
If we get divorced, I'll need child support.
Doigaki will have to work even harder.
Even if we get divorced, the kids and I won't disappear.
We'll be living where you can't see us.
What do your parents think?
You should think carefully.
You're still young.
I...
love Doigaki.
What?!
So I'll work hard.
Work hard? This isn't a school club.
I love him, so I'll be okay.
Welcome to Banana Croc World
This is Banana Croc World, Noburin!
Everyone is eating bananas!
Hey, which is the banana croc?
No, no, bananas and crocs are separate things.
Really?
I feel tricked.
Look at that! There's a baby croc.
Really.
It's not cute at all, even though it's a baby.
That's because it's a croc!
Noburin, you're doing nothing but laughing.
That's because I'm having fun.
What about you?
Obviously I'm having fun.
Let's go.
Okay.
There's crocs over there, too.
What kind?
Good morning.
Morning.
What are you doing?
Um... you can't.
Move.
You can't today.
I'm meeting someone.
Oh, Haru.
I'll start packing.
Let's go.
Lots of ingredients!
Sorry!
Aya!
Yuuya!
That's a good glare.
She's not acting.
Next week we're going to see a lawyer.
I see.
So what'll you do?
Well, good question.
My relationship with you,
let's leave it at status quo.
What?
Of course my feelings are for you.
In the long-term, I plan to have things converge.
But I just got divorced.
So if I have to break up with Emo-yan too...
I'm just too pitiful.
What are you saying?!
I understand. I know what I've done.
Because I know, I want to leave it at status quo-
That's enough! I can't talk to you.
Wait!
Go to hell.
What?
Did I say something that bad?
Missus.
Dinner will be brought up around 7.
In addition, Missus, you may use the open air bath until 8.
Sir, you may use it until 10.
Until 7, it's open for co-ed bathing.
Therefore, Missus, you may want to wait until after dinner.
Do you agree?
Of course.
In that case, Missus, please enjoy yourself.
Thank you.
She didn't have to call me "Missus" so many times.
Hey. Why don't we go in the hot springs?
What? But it's co-ed.
I know.
No way, what are you saying? No way.
Hm... Then, I'll go alone.
What? It's co-ed!
I know.
You can't, no way.
It's only old women anyway.
That's why you can't! You won't come back alive.
Then, shall we go together?
What? It's co-ed!
That's why we should go.
No way!
I can't! I can't!
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not...
Hey, miss.
Where you from?
Me?
Hey, hey, you wanna go for a drive?
We could drive over Amagoe pass (in Izu).
Ah, I don't think so.
What? Do you have a boyfriend?
How old are you?
Hm? Can I tell you?
Take your hands off of her!
You!
Besshii!
Hey, hey, don't try to act cool.
Don't say "hey, hey."
What was that?
Ow ow ow.
I'm a black belt.
Bring it on, thugs.
A B C!
Besshii Fist!
We'll remember this!
Even if they remember it,
I thought thugs like them were only in dramas.
My skin is so smooth...
You aren't wearing a yukata?
Because... never mind that. Blackout?
I got them from a friend who does candle art.
Aren't they nice?
Hey. Shall we open the wine?
Then, that, you know, the thing to open a cork-
Don't worry.
I'll go borrow one.
Thank you.
Hey. What's up, Akabane?
What should I do? I want to go home.
Iborii, come get me.
Even I can't go all the way to Atagawa.
But it's candles.
Candles and red wine.
I can't believe it.
Whether it's candles or penlights,
there's only one thing to do.
You're right.
There's just one thing.
What should I do?
I think it's gonna happen!
Relax.
You'll start embracing soon.
Become a tuna.
If I become a tuna, what will happen?
What'll happen?
You'll be eaten.
Men, you know,
they love lively tuna.
I understand.
Iborii, you're really crude.
Hm?
What?
What am I to her?
Yum!
Hey wait. We haven't even made a toast yet.
Sorry, sorry.
Hey, do you know?
It's been two months since we met.
What? What's wrong?
Sorry!
I'm not used to this.
I, argh...
Can I go get a beer?
Ow!
Noburin, are you okay?
Oh, Besshii!
What? What is it?
I can't.
It doesn't get any lamer than this.
It's because of the wine.
Can I drink beer after all?
Even if it's because of the wine,
isn't it okay?
Yes.
Is it okay?
Yeah. I'm with you right now, Noburin.
I said not to call me Noburin.
Nobuko.
Yes.
Sorry.
Besshii.
Come get me now.
What?
I'm saying to "meet me in Karuizawa."
You'll come, right?
I'm sorry, I'm working now.
You're lying!
There's no filming today.
What's wrong?
Hm?
Oh, nothing.
Oh, beer, right?
Just a sec.
Was that Chikura?
Yeah.
Here.
She's drinking in Karuizawa, so she wants me to go get her.
There's no way, right?
You know, dinner was delicious, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And the hot spring was good too.
I saw this hotel on TV.
Go.
What?
You should go.
Go to her.
I don't want to.
You're lying.
The mood is completely gone.
I don't want to go, really.
She's in Karuizawa. Karuizawa!
I'm telling the truth.
The wine's open, too.
Even though we haven't had any yet.
I'm not going to leave you here and go to Karuizawa.
Oh, be quiet!
This isn't fun at all.
You should go.
Noburin...
I said don't call me Noburin!
Sorry.
Will you leave, no matter what?
Lord Kogure.
Right now, you aren't charming at all. Not even a little.
You are a dirty thief snake.
Welcome.
Oh?
How rare.
What wind blew you here?
I wanted to see your face, Yoshio.
Chikura was here until a few minutes ago.
Oh, I see.
Cheer up.
If Yuusaku were alive, he'd say
"If I eat this much, I'll get fat."
Yeah, he would.
What is this?
Everyone! Besshii is here.
Besshii!
Sorry. Everyone came after I called.
Here.
I can't accept this behavior.
What are you mad about?
I'm not mad.
Yes, you are.
I'm saying I'm not!
Retreat!
Let's get out of here. Hurry.
I've given up on you.
So please don't call me again.
Besshii, are you leaving already?
Good timing. Please take Chikura home.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey...
Chikura!
Chikura! Chikura, let's go home.
No.
Come on, it's fine.
I'll keep drinking.
Welcome.
Yoshio!
Hey!
I came back.
Yoshio? Not Yuusaku?
Yuusaku died from diabetes.
I'm Besshii.
You're pretty hot.
I used to come here with him.
A lot happened.
A lot.
Please tell me.
Tell us.
What do numbers matter?
What do I care about a record drama to end all records?
Idiot!
I was out of control, back then.
Oh, Doigaki! You're late.
Even after he got married,
if I called, he'd always come.
He'd sit next to me
and listen to my complaints silently.
At the end, he would always say,
"You'll be fine."
He knows what I want to hear.
Despite that...
"status quo"
is what I least wanted to hear.
Don't cry, Maki-ppe.
If Yuusaku were alive, he'd say-
I... don't know.
I don't know what you want to hear right now.
I love you
too much.
Thank you.
Missus, it's almost time-
I'm in the middle of strip rock-paper-scissors.
Ready, set!
Yay!
Take one off!
I'm starting from the bottom!
Hey?
It is you, Emo-yan!
Who are you?
It's me. From Manhattan.
Shinobu-cchi?
Shinobu-cchi, Shinobu-cchi!
You've got bad timing. We just finished the encore.
What? Are you scared?
The band's concept is a human test subject pretty boy.
Wait a minute, I'll go take off my makeup.
I became a tuna!
Iborii.
I became a tuna!
Okay, okay.
I'm full now, so I can't eat.
You're heavy.
Are you okay?
Won't your morning show start soon?
I have Fridays off.
Oh.
It's hard to be famous, isn't it?
Even though you're no different from others, everything turns into a big deal.
Are you looking down on me?
No, not at all.
Rather, isn't it cool?
It's cool?
Yeah.
I like kids.
I don't really know,
but guys like girls like Emo-yan,
who are full of faults but still try their very best,
better than girls who're skilled at everything.
For example, even if you have the kid,
there's a lot of guys who will watch you and your accent on TV every morning
and think "She's working hard. I better give it my all too."
Sorry.
I'm not smart so I can't phrase it well.
Shinobu, do you have a girlfriend?
A girlfriend?
No.
What about someone you like?
Well, there is someone.
Who? What's this person like?
Can't say.
I know it would never work.
Why?
Because that person's not interested in me...
and may not even know my name.
I see.
It's cold.
Shall we get going?
I have another gig next week.
See you at Manhattan.
Okay, see you at Manhattan.
Note: Shinobu's last name
Hm...
If the second character were only different...
Futon?
It starts with F. F!
How about futon for a last name, Shinobu?
Take your time.
Okay. Work hard.
I'll go see you play next time.
They're getting along better and better.
Man, you should just start dating already!
A souvenir.
When did I become a gorilla?
Iced coffee, please.
What?
She's not ordering a blend today?
It's problematic if you think too lightly of my iced coffee.
Using beans from scorching hot Indonesia, I deep-roast them specially for iced coffee, then blend them.
By grating them coarsely, I can produce a clear flavor different from hot coffee.
The ice in the glass sings a crystal note.
It is a cool beauty.
The customer adds sweetener to taste.
Here's your iced coffee and ice cream.
Ice cream too?
When did she...?
Akabane, what are you doing?
Iced coffee and ice cream are to be enjoyed separately.
You just made a coffee float.
I can't watch.
They're both on our menu,
but I simply can't watch them being combined like that.
Is it like ramen and rice?
No, even ramen and rice are eaten separately.
It's like...
cat rice.
It's as humiliating as cat rice.
First of all, there's no place for wafers.
I thought she might do that.
Shinobu-cchi! Ice cream and iced coffee, please.
Are you copycatting?
I'd like ice cream and iced coffee too.
Okay.
Me too.
Once again, it's disorder.
Yes, coming up.
Once again, there's a new item on our menu.
Thank you!
Even Doigaki.
It's been decided that I'll "leave the mound" on the evening sports tonight.
I see.
The other regulars plan to quit at the end of the month.
I see.
Is it okay?
What?
I was wondering if things are okay like this.
Things didn't work out before.
Just because I'm pregnant, we've gotten back together.
Thanks for the food.
Uh-oh. I haven't decided on the price.
Um...
Iced coffee is 600 yen.
Ice cream is 400 yen.
1000 yen?
No, no. It's not good to just add them together.
What about you?
"What about you"?
You said you loved someone else.
I'm going on delivery.
Shinobu! How much?
How much is the coffee float?
I don't know.
"I don't know"?
I don't know... I mean,
you're going to court and stuff.
After that, you said you'd meet my parents and family.
They'll say horrible things about you,
the baby'll be born,
and even then you may not love me.
It's okay.
Don't tell me it's okay!
I get nervous when you tell me it's okay.
You're all talk.
Thanks for the food.
A compromise price.
Note: 750 yen.
Rather, if E and D get married will they really be happy?
D has a past record of having an affair with C despite his two children.
Tenchou.
Akabane was still here?
Two blends.
Don't worry.
You know, I kind of want to meddle.
The truth is, something like this happened to me.
Really?
You have kids?
Well, in the end I wasn't pregnant.
Thank goodness.
At that time, his reaction was...
Please tell me.
I'm sorry.
It looks like it was my misunderstanding.
I see.
At first, he acted like he was disappointed.
I was a little happy.
I thought that he really wanted to have a child with me.
But...
Can I order?
Yes.
His real feelings were soon revealed.
...and bibimbap and cold noodles...
He ordered too much!
He was actually relieved!
There was no mistake - he was happy.
You idiot!
You know?
Men only tell cheap lies. They're worthless animals.
A complete rejection.
But she may be right.
Doigaki keeps saying it's okay,
but he's only going with the flow.
It's not fair to Emo-yan.
If you really were pregnant then, what would you have done?
I would absolutely have gotten married.
What??
I'd have gotten married, made a family,
and been a good mother.
That's right!
I'll never fall in love again!
Akabane, please calm down.
You dirty wet rag!
Every Thursday the very popular show, "Meet me...
She turned it off!
But she loved that show about Mrs. Karuizawa.
Did something happen?
You should marry Doigaki.
Hey!
I mean, he's good enough, right?
Don't be irresponsible.
He's good enough, I guess, but...
See!
She'll end up just going with the flow...
Listen.
I say this from my life, my experience, and my soul.
That's my line.
Compromise is necessary in love, too!
It's all over now that you've said that.
That's all I want to say.
You've said enough already.
I'll think about what you've said.
She'll think about it!
Stupid!
Thanks for the food.
Devil Akabane!
What will you do?
Is Emo-yan really okay being with Doigaki?
The one she really loves is...
I'm back.
Wafers!
See you later.
What's that?
What? A monster?
What? What?
1 minute to go.
Let's work hard.
Emoto! Emoto!
Huh?
Sorry to do this right before you go on air, but please listen to me.
Who are you!?
Who is this?
There's no time.
The base price of 1 cup of coffee, do you know what it is?
What?
50 yen.
But depending on the store it can rise to 180 or 1000 yen.
Even though the base price is the same, do you know what's different?
I don't know.
The atmosphere!
The cups and the tables and background music. That's what you're paying for.
But if you get tricked by the atmosphere
and pay a lot for bad coffee,
you're just stupid.
You should listen to your tongue!
Don't you agree?
Please!
30 seconds to go.
Move!
You should have realized already.
You're being deceived by the adult atmosphere.
Who is this?
You can force yourself to drink bitter coffee, but you don't like it.
You still want to have a sweet love affair. Right?
Turn the mike off!
Listen.
I say this with my life, my experience, and my s-
5 seconds.

Good evening.
I'm Emoto Shiori, bringing you the sports.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
I won't do it again.
Ow!
I'm sorry.
I can't believe you.
Next is the J League news.
Please watch the video.
She really is cute.
Isn't she?
Therefore, tonight will be my last on this show.
Futon?
I wrote it wrong!
Shinobu.
I love Shinobu.
What??!!!!
What?!
I'm sorry.
I can't marry Doigaki.
I love Shinobu.
Oh.
Did she just say Ibori?
After the commercial, stay tuned for news
on a new security system introduced after losses from repeated warehouse incidents.
Her accent was gone, just now.
Hey.
Were you surprised?
Yeah! I broke a cup.
I wasn't lying.
I liked you since before I met Doigaki.
But is it okay? That was live.
Will you get fired?
I'm going on vacation anyway.
Yeah, but...
Don't worry about the baby.
I'll do something about it.
That's not it... You know-
Hey, play something.
What?
On the guitar?
Yeah. I want to see you play something.
Excuse me.
Can I stay here tonight?
Please. I'll pay.
I don't have anywhere to go.
Thank you.
Please have a nice night.
I simply don't think Tsuboi is a murderer.
This investigation is already over.
Give it up.
Wait a minute!
It's hot!
Somehow, it's weird to see Funakoshi as a good guy.
For real.
For me, this situation itself is weird.
Thanks for the food.
Check, please.
This is addressed to Gamou Construction.
It's written with the "kama" in Kamata and "ikiru" and read "Gamou."
Note: Shinobu's last name.
Ga-Gamou?
1 Coffee float, please.
Wait...
Your name is Gamou?
You're Gamou?
That's G!
What?
Then there is no F after all.
Welcome.
Funakoshi?
F!
Master,
what do you recommend?
Master?!
