Dramatic Sunday TOKYO AIRPORT Spin off Drama
The stage for this story is set on
a airport located on a isolated island belonging to Kagoshima that is 1340 Km to the south west from the airport that handles the largest aircrafts in japan, Tokyo Airport.
That airport is Tokunoshima Airport
For comparison the amount of flight that Tokyo Airport handles in 1 day is around 500 flights.
And Tokunoshima Airport handles...
4 flights...
Transferred for some reason to this Tokunoshima Airport from Tokyo Control
Air Traffic Controller Shimoyanagi Tetsuji
Hara Koji
Narumi the pregnant wife of Shimoyanagi
And Kobayashi Junko a air traffic controller that was born and raised on Tokunoshima,
This is there story as air traffic controllers on a isolated island.
This was Yano speaking.
A Story Like Standby
Tokunoshima Tower Nangoku Sky 3841
Tokunoshima Tower go ahead
Nangoku Sky 3841, 8 miles south of you at 1500 request landing
Nagoku Sky 3841 check gear down.
Runway 01 cleared to land wind 020 at 3
- Was it 2 hours until the next landing and takeoff? - Yeah.
Well then I'll be off for a bit.
Huh what? Where are you going?
A little something.
Oh so that kind of thing is allowed here after all.
Then I might also write some emails...
What do you mean with "that kind of thing"?
As someone that was transferred from Tokyo Control this is like heaven.
What?
Well it's only 1 time in 2 hours.
So that means a total of 4 times.
The work is done when you do 8 take off or landings in a day.
At Tokyo Control there was no end in sight.
There were around 6000 flight so there was no time to take a break.
Where is your 'Keigo' Don't forget to use 'Keigo' (Keigo is a polite form in written and spoken Japanese to show respect, like putting 'san' and 'sama' after a name)
I am you instructor.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for that.
Anyway it is nice that I can take it easy.
It will be only for a short time that you can say that you can take it easy.
Huh? What do you mean?
Is that how it will become?
Huh? Wha... Wha... Oh well..
2 free hours.
What should I do?
I'm already so lucky that I can make such a decision now.
What do you think you are saying?
I shall control that poor attitude of yours.
- Huh? - There it is... Control.
What's that condescending way of talking? Just because you were at Tokyo Control?
You are right that Tokunoshima Airport only has 4 flights a day.
But we are always on alert while standby in case something happens during that time.
- Huh? - You say that we have 2 hours of free time? Don't say such stupid things.
We do not take out eyes off the instruments and sky during the 2 hours untill the next flight.
- Is that so? - Use keigo!
Yeah but... Hara-san is quite obviously on his way out.
That is not true.
Yes.
You were going to the toilet. Isn't that so Hara-san?
- Yes. - Wait wait wait.
- He wouldn't go to the toilet with such a big piece of luggage. - Hara-san would bring it with him.
- Isn't that so Hara-san? - Yes.
What is inside the bag?
He is obviously startled by my question.
He is just very timid.
He has to always carry it around because he is afraid that someone would steal it.
Oh I see.
Could you then show me what is inside?
- Stop it! - Why not, it's not like you are a hight school girl.
What?
I think he wanted to return these before the next flight.
Oh look, the return date is today.
This is so typical Tokunoshima
This place "Rental Paradise Kodakara" is closed in the evening.
And they are using a slew method where the late fee is higher than the rental fee it self.
Don't misunderstand the situation.
Hara-san is not going to return those now.
Because we are always on alert while standby in case something happens.
Huh? Is that true?
Yes.
I am not going to return these.
I have pride in the work that I am doing.
That's why...
I will not return... them.
It is better to return things that you have borrowed.
These things... I will just return them when I have the time to return them.
But these are more then 20 movies...
Wouldn't the late fee cost you more then 8000 yen?
That doesn't bother Hara-san.
He would gladly pay that late fee for the sake of his job.
Such a stoic air traffic controller.
No doubt about it.
It's a phone call from my wife. May I answer it?
I might have mentioned something to her that I shouldn't have.
Hello Narumi? It seems that I won't be able to go with you to watch the little league baseball game.
What did he just say? Watch a baseball game in the time that opened up?
I just thought it would be possible so I mentioned the possibility.
Hello? It seems that it is not possible because we are always on standby.
I shall clearly explain it to your wife.
I'm very sorry 'Okusama' (You can call a woman an 'Okusan' if she is married, it just means wife, 'Okusama' is the polite form)
Compared to the time he was at Tokyo Control it would seems that he have more spare time.
But with this job you never know when and in what circumstance an accident could happen
Thinking about every person that is on a plane...
we have to be sincere about every single person.
To those that come to Tokunoshima...
It is our job to insure the safety of the people that visit here with our full attention.
I told him already that it wouldn't be possible to go watch a baseball game in his spare time.
But my husband said that...
Alright, alright I'm sorry.
Oh hey it's me again. We can go when I have a day off.
I'm very sorry. Yes, yes, yes.
I'm disappointed in you.
I'm very disappointed in you!
What kind of job do you think this is?
Please excuse me for my behavior.
You have a message.
I will take a look. Please mind your own business.
I'm very sorry. That I didn't know how to use my spare time...
What is wrong with you Hara-san?
Hara-san.
Huh?
- What do you want? - Well...
You look like your are dead.
I don't care.
That late fee...
It doesn't bother me at all.
That...
A DVD that is just 20 minutes...
I don't mind keeping them for another week...
Why in this situation!!!
Junko-chan
Your email...
You sent it to me by mistake.
What?
"I don't think I can make it to the girl's lunch, I'm sorry"
This is not for me...
Did you have a girl's lunch today Junko-san?
No!
No? Were you not going to have lunch in this spare time?
Hey, don't say stupid things like that. I do not go to lunch.
Stop making those false accusations.
Then what was that email.
I did not type such a email.
You did type it and it did arrive, by mistake to Hara-san.
Wouldn't it be better to still send that email to the right person?
I told you that I didn't do it. I do not write emails during work.
You were typing one... a little bit ago.
We do not go to lunch or write emails because we are air traffic controllers. Am I right?
Are you for real? Then can I take a look at the call history of Hara-san's mobile phone?
Sure. Even if you would find my name on that, that is not me.
I do not know what you mean with that.
Then can I take a look at your sent history?
No I won't show you. I did not write a email. A air traffic controller does not have the luxury to write an email.
Tokunoshima is so stoic.
But you know, even at Tokyo Control they write emails and go to lunch.
Huh, Tokyo Control has fallen pretty deep then.
Okey then standby check!
Alright. Standby!
Alright standby.
- Standby okay. - Standby okay.
- Junko-san? - Yes, what is it?
- You are obviously annoyed. - No I am not.
You really wanted to go to that girls lunch, didn't you?
How many time to I have to tell you that I do not go to lunch or get out of here.
- There is no problem in you doing that. - I will not go and return stuff.
There is also no problem in doing that. Actually you have to return things.
- Everything alright, is the sky alright? - The sky! Is alright everything is okay!
Isn't it that you are just pretending to be stoic because I made a little fun of Tokunoshima Airport?
Pretending? What do you mean by pretending?
I am not annoyed at all we are always like this everyday.
Yes you are. Junko-san is annoyed isn't she Hara-san?
There are no Gallirallus Okinawae on this island.
Huh? His head must be filled with the thought of returning the DVD's so he is saying nonsense.
- Alright standby okay! - Alright standby okay!
You just raise your voices while nothing is going on.
Alright, the both of you please go to where you have to go.
Please forget about the baseball thing from me.
Junko-san you probably said something you didn't mean and can't take it back anymore.
Please go, If the mood is going to be this bad around here.
Why did I even rent 20 DVD's...
There see, a cry from his heart.
Please get going already.
Where do you want us to go? We have never left this place even once.
"Junko-san from the control tower"
"The girls lunch has already started"
We will start eating already.
Is there something?
No... Not really.
- Alright... Standby. - Alright standby.

This is there story as air traffic controllers on a isolated island.
This was Yano speaking.
A Story Like A Married Couples Relationship
Excuse me.
Oh hey, brought you your lunch.
Oh thank you. Thank you.
- Where are the others? - They all went to eat.
Well someone has to stay behind here.
Today I am that person.
- Please don't try to forget things. - I was in a hurry because I over slept.
- It's because you were drinking too much. - Can you blame me? I felt like drinking.
Oh man. Onigiri based again today. (Onigiri is a rice ball with sometimes stuff inside)
- What do you mean? - The inside of these are anyway all 'Umeboshi' right? ('Umeboshi is pickeled' Ume fruit)
- Yeah so? - Don't you think a bigger variety would be nice?
Onigiri it self is getting bored of it. I think you can change it.
Have the base be spaghetti or 'Soborogohan' or on occasions sandwiches or so. (Soborogohan is rice with some topping like fried mincemeat)
It's okay because it tastes good but why do you always make 'Umeboshi Onigiri'?
I will get too much sodium inside of me. Do you want to let me die earlier?
I'll get going then.
Oh hey hey hey hey.
- Are you wearing no makeup today? - Yeah so?
Let's not stop wearing makeup, you are not that young anymore.
Your skin complexion is making a u-turn and is heading strait back.
I don't have the time to do makeup.
We just came to Tokunoshima so we need to make a good impression on the people of the island.
- It's not like putting makeup on will leave a better impression. - Oh no no no no no.
The people of the island will think like "Oh that person came from Tokyo and is not wearing makeup she must think Tokunoshima is a joke"
"Yeah people from Tokyo probably think that no makeup will suffice for Tokunoshima"
"That's why I don't like people from Tokyo." "They make me feel bad."
Alright, alright I will go home now then.
Be careful on your way home. Your are pretty bad at driving.
Hey! What is it that I'm listening to the whole time?
What?
I came here to bring you your lunch. Why do I get all these complaints over me.
- Didn't mention any complaints. - Yet you did.
I was just giving some suggestions.
- You don't have to eat this anymore. - Oh no, I will, I will.
You will die early because of too much sodium intake right?
- I said that there is just a chance. - If there is a chance then I will take this back.
- Please don't this is food... - Oh no no no, what are you doing?
I'm so sorry... In this place of all places...
- What happened? - It's all right, you can go home already.
Goodbye goodbye... goodbye
- Excuse me okusama. - Yes.
- Did Shimonayagi do something to offend you? - Oh no.
- But your voice was all roughed up. - it was really nothing.
Thank very much for bringing this delicious looking lunch.
Well it is not something that Junko-san should be thankful for...
But my husband is saying that these onigiri taste disgusting.
- I didn't say such a thing. - Did you say that Shimonayagi-san?
You think that I... No I didn't say that.
That is terrible that you say such a thing.
I made the effort to bring him his lunch because he over slept today but then he says that he doesn't want to have onigiri.
Unbelievable! What else did he say?
You don't have anything to do with this Junko-san.
That is not true. It's also part of my job to keep order in what goes around in your life.
Okusama, it is better for you to speak about all the things that you are usually supressing.
He says that I am insulting the people of Tokunoshima by not wearing makeup.
And that I am a bad driver. These kind of things.
Why would you say such things Shimoyanagi-san?
Those were not complaints but just warnings.
That is horrible. You are nothing like a husband should be.
- You understand me? - I understand very well. I feel very sorry for you okusama.
Thank you very much.
It would be best if you start making your own lunch from tomorrow on.
Whaaat? That is not possible.
No you will make your own lunch everyday from tomorrow on.
That's right you should make it yourself. You should get to know how hard it is to be a housewife.
Hey but you don't know how hard it is to be a air traffic controller.
That right there! The nr.1 worst thing that a husband can say.
"Who do you think is working hard for the money" Doesn't he say that?
Yes he does.
Husbands that don't have a good income tend to say this a lot.
Those are words that a superior is not supposed to say to his subordinates.
Those kind of husbands are exactly the ones that don't understand how hard it is to be a housewife.
Anyway! You will make your own lunch everyday from tomorrow on!
Alight I got it, I got. I should make my own lunch right?
Thank you very much! My feelings have all cleared up.
It was my pleasure. As a fellow woman I just tried my best.
- Well then... - You are right, you should go home.
Go home Go home.
- Okusame - Yes?
Do not help him when he starts preparing lunch tomorrow.
- Alright. I will let him do it himself. - You will admit to defeat if you help him.
Alright I will not help him.
Okusama, It's just that you seems like a friendly person.
It would not be good if you help him because you seem like the person that worries a lot.
Please call me at 6 in the morning.
I will be your conversation partner until your husband has to go to work at 8.
That way you can not help even if you want to.
Okay...
Um... You do not have to go this far for me. I will definitely not help him. Don't worry.
Oh no You don't have to be so polite.
I'm worried for you so please call me without any hesitation.
Is the issue that big that you have to go that far?
It's all for the sake of correcting you.
- Then I will call you tomorrow. - Are you serious?
I will be waiting for you.
Oh, about the issue of not wearing makeup.
You look very good without any makeup on okusama.
Do you really think so?
But a lack of sleep is not good for your skin complexion.
Therefore in order to not be insulted by your husband you will go to bed at 9 in the evening from now on.
- Do you understand? - 9 is a little bit... My children are still awake at that time.
Because your wife will go to bed at 9, Shimoyanagi-san you will not drink anything at home from now on.
Whaaaaat?
But I am always looking forward to drink at home.
That is right. He doesn't drink outside of the house.
Alright then.
I will allow you to drink 1 can of beer every 3 days. Other than that you are not allowed to drink.
- 1 can in 3 days. - I feel a bit sorry for him if he can only drink 1 can in 3 days.
I will call the 'Shimamoto Liquor Store' on this island and tell them to deliver 1 can of beer every 3 days.
Please drink that can of beer.
Ummm...
If we don't do that your skin complexion will not get any better.
We need your husband to also cooperate.
That will become more of a stress to me.
So please tell your children that they should go to bed at 8 in the evening. Alright?
That will be a bit...
Good for you, now your skin will be as soft as ever.
If you would like I will introduce you to the face lotions that you can get on this island.
I would like to talk to you about that so please call me on my mobile phone at 7 in the evening. Alright?
Um... Junko-san I have a few things that I think are a bit strange.
Oh and also it has been scientifically proven that it is good for the skin if a couple has sexual intercourse at night.
So please have sexual intercourse at least not 3 but 4 times in a week.
Your crazy! Why do you...
Then please have sexual intercourse tonight.
I will leave it up to you but the more sexual intercourse you have the better it is for the skin.
Definitely have sexual intercourse tonight.
I don't think you have the right to tell us how our sex life should be.
And I am pregnant.
All the more reason to do so if you are pregnant.
The nr.1 time that a man cheats on his wife is when she is pregnant.
It's unbelievable isn't it.
Getting your wife pregnant and then sleeping with another woman.
If the wife is pregnant she should become more and more attractive and have as much intercourse as possible.
Anyway, definitely have sexual intercourse tonight.
And also lets have sexual intercourse on Thursday and Saturday.
Shut up with that sexual intercourse talk.
What are you saying? I will also control your marriage relationship.
No you don't have to get in between our marriage relationship.
And then about the issue of your bad driving skills.
I will get in contact with the driving school on this island right away.
Please start going there from tomorrow afternoon. Alright?
Well... I'm not that bad at driving.
Good for you that you can get better at driving and get back at your husband threw that.
I don't think she can get back at me by getting better at driving.
Tomorrow at 9 the theory lessons are starting so this would be a good opportunity to relearn everything.
I will get in contact with them about this.
And also let's go driving once a week together with me.
I think we will do Saturdays this week.
Let's meet here on Saturdays.
- Well actually we have our child playing baseball this week. - That's right. We are very sorry.
Between baseball and your wife's driving, which one do you choose?
You will get better by driving together with me. Don't you want to become better at driving okusame?
Going to the Monaco race is not a far off dream If you train yourself on this island.
What do you think about aiming to becoming the first female F1 driver from Japan?
I have no clue anymore what you are trying to say.
Oh hey, Junko-san let's get ready for the next flight.
Don't worry about that, there won't be one for a while.
By the way okusame, how is Shimonayagi-kun with raising kids?
Please have mercy with MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Air Traffic Controller Shimoyanagi Tetsuji
Hara Koji
Narumi the pregnant wife of Shimoyanagi.
And Kobayashi Junko a air traffic controller that was born and raised on Tokunoshima,
This is there story as air traffic controllers on a isolated island.
This was Yano speaking.
A Wonderful Story
Huh today?
Today is also OJT for me.
When a air traffic controller gets transfered he needs to get another rating, to put that in simple terms it's like a new license.
For that there is a instructor assigned to you.
And to my bad luck my instructor is...
Junko...
Don't twist your your neck.
- There are no airplane in the air. - Use keigo.
- Look here! - Be quiet.
As your instructor I need to stay calm even though I don't like you a little bit.
- You didn't need to say that you don't like me. - Use keigo.
Could you please take a look at the time table?
Could you please take a look at the clock?
Now please look at the time table once more.
- Hey what if I sprain my neck? - Is that not up to you on how hard you twist your neck?
Could you please take a look at the radar screen?
Will you give me a massage if I sprain my neck?
I don't mind.
Alright then.
There is still 1.5 hours until the next flight comes in for a landing. Should we move to the other seats?
What do you think you are saying. You are one strange guy.
Even though we have nothing to do now, you never know when and how an incident can happen.
Glasses guy.
I know that.
I am just saying that we don't have to be observing this intensively.
I will say it again, we never know when and how an incident can happen.
The skies are unbelievable, do you understand you big forehead guy.
- Look here. - Use keigo!
Look here. I understand that even if a veteran air traffic controller
gets transfered to a airport where he has no experience he must learn everything from the beginning.
But talking out of experience.
Nothing will happen in this situation.
And also stop with those nicknames.
- Listen here 'Forehead Glasses', 'Forehead Glasses', 'Forehead Glasses', 'Forehead Glasses'... - Stop it, I said stop that, please stop that.
Change this person Please exchange with this person.
Sit down!
You don't know anything of this airport yet.
What do you mean with "knowing"? There is just one airplane that is parked on the spot.
- You are so cocky. - Yes you are.
I stared at the empty airport for 1 hour while being under strict observation.
I couldn't even go to the toilet.
Then the time came for the aircraft to depart.
Alright then let's change.
If we change now what was the point of me until now?
Can you just stay at his side for now Harry.
Alright I will look at him at his side.
I feel uncomfortable.
Nangoku Sky 3792 Tokunoshima Tower runway 01 lineup and wait.
Nangoku Sky 3792 runway 01 lineup and wait.
Nangoku Sky 3792 wind 020 at 7 cleared to takeoff.
Nangoku Sky 3792 runway 01 cleared for takeoff.
Oh well done.
It's not something you have to be surprised about.
Yeah you are right.
Next is a landing but today you only have to do takeoff's.
You may take a break until the next aircraft.
Alright.
Alright then.
Stop right there.
What is it this time?
- Take a look on the side. - On the side?
What is that?
Is there any reason to bring me to this corner?
What? What?
You just brought me to the opposite side.
You know that the sky has rules?
- What are you saying? - Just listen to me.
There are also rules here...
Junko.
I call her... Wonderful.
Wonderful always makes us lunch.
What?
It is very important for a air traffic controller that he takes care of his health.
Alright.
But I have a wife that makes my lunch.
Eat it when you get home!
Wouldn't it be strange to eat my lunch when I get home.
If you eat it here Wonderful will get hurt.
She will get hurt beyond your imagination.
When I wanted to eat the space food that I bought back from NASA...
Please don't eat this on earth.
What if you get unwell from it?
I got scolded at like that.
Isn't that love?
- Love? - Yes Love, L.O.V.E.
Just eat it!
This is completely different than I imagined it would be.
- Delicious. Wonderful. - Yes Wonderful.
Nangoku Sky 3843 wind 010 at 6 knots cleared to land runway 01
You can't judge a person by the way they looks.
Do I look like someone that can't cook?
I will tell you that my hearing is extremely good.
I can even hear the voices from the terminal.
Isn't that inconvenient if you hear too much?
Anyway hurry up and eat. There is only 2 hours until the next aircraft.
- That is still a long time. - Don't talk back. Use your break time wisely.
You two are the ones that are getting in the way of my break time.
The young people of now a days really eat like they are hungry.
Don't laugh at me. I am still smarter than you.
- I am also taking a break so can you change with me Harry? - Yes.
Are you being called Harry?
How is my rafutei? (Rafutei is bacon cooked in sweet sauce)
- It's delicious. - Use keigo.
- I was giving you a compliment. - Use keigo.
What?
This is Sky Air 332 we have engine troubles and would like to divert to you.
Divert to us?
Please tell me your situation.
We don't know what the reason is. But our instruments are also affected by it.
Both engine 1 and 2 have stopped working.
Does that mean that you are in a gliding state at the moment?
Hey there is a habu!
- Are you serious! - Hey there is a habu!
There is a habu Wonderful!
Be quiet I can't hear anything!
Oh hey hey hey hey.
We are gliding at the moment and we have already lost a lot of altitude.
Considering the situation your airport will be the easiest to land.
Understood. You have permission to land.
Please land from the 01 direction wind is 020 and 7 knots.
A turtle besides the runway!
Toba-san there is a turtle besides the runway.
Yeah I can see it right in front of me.
I you can see it then you should capture it! An aircraft with an emergency is coming in.
Understood.
- Is everything alright to land? - Yes it is.
Please tell me the situation whenever you are able to contact us.
Understood.
- Don't be so loud! - We're sorry but but...
You can't live on this island if you are afraid of habu.
Wonderful.
Take this outside.
Hara-san.
I can't.
It will be alright.
I definitely can't.
There, there, there, there.
Captured... The turtle.
Why do you bring it here?
Are you stupid? Release it to the ocean.
That was fast.
I am second to none when it comes to capturing.
This too.
I "habu" (A pun to "I have")
By the way... Who is that?
Anyway, call the firefighters just in case.
Alright.
I can see it.
Sky Air 332 wind 020 at 7 knots
- They are not responding. - They must be busy controlling the aircraft.
You must be right.
It's coming in for a landing.
It landed.
Alright!
You!
You guys have something right?
Of course we don't have anything.
Alright, we are finished for today.
Getting ready to go home. Let's go home.
Good work today.
You too.
Alright, me too then.
Then thank you for your work today.
You also did good work for someone like you.
I didn't operate anything today.
By the way what do you mean with "someone like you"? You don't know anything about me.
Your wife might get angry at you for not eating your lunch.
Don't worry about that, I will eat it on the way back.
Please take this with you as a token of my apology.
Your wife will be happy.
Looks disgusting.
What are you doing?
I will also control your quality.
There it is! Control.
Am I food?
The stage for this story is set on
a airport located on a isolated island belonging to Kagoshima that is 1340 Km to the south west from the airport that handles the largest aircrafts in japan, Tokyo Airport.
That airport is Tokunoshima Airport
For comparison the amount of flight that Tokyo Airport handles in 1 day is around 500 flights.
And Tokunoshima Airport handles...
4 flights...

Hara Koji
Narumi the pregnant wife of Shimoyanagi.
And Kobayashi Junko a air traffic controller that was born and raised on Tokunoshima,
This is there story as air traffic controllers on a isolated island.
This was Yano speaking.
A Story Like What If Nangoku Sky 3792 wind 030 at 4 runway 01 cleared for takeoff.
Nagoku Sky 3792 runway 01 cleared for takeoff.
Goodbye, todays last flight.
Where did Junko go to?
Don't yobisute her name! ("yobisute" is when you do not use keigo like 'san' or 'sama' after calling someone's name)
She has unbelievable good hearing.
Oh you are right.
She said "I will go and control the airline companies in the terminal" and hasn't returned since.
- Isn't she just having a meeting with them? - No idea.
At Tokyo Control I got a lot of stress because I was so busy.
But don't you think that having too much time on your hands gives you also a lot of stress?
You are right. There is not even a cinema to relax.
Yuuki-san and Yano-san are in the control tower of Haneda.
Maki got temporarily transferred to a foreign country once again.
Apparently Nakajima is now able to be a trainer at Tokyo Control.
I can also do that.
I know but...
Oh and Shikishima.
Apparently he is very busy after he started managing a café.
So he succeeded in pursuing his dreams.
Maybe I should make a movie.
Oh, that sound good.
Tadaaaa.
Oh.
Ohhh.
Ohhhhhhhhhh.
- Who are they? - Air traffic controllers from Haneda.
Are you for real?
I made these by enlarging the pictures that Yano-san sent me of these girls.
You are a creep.
It's a editing technique to use props.
This girl goes here.
I read in some book that in the old days they would put pictures like this of horses and cars in the scenery.
Take a look at it from this angle. Doesn't it look like they are really here?
You are creepy.
Are you acquainted with any of them Hara-san?
I met her at a training somewhere.
- So where was it? - I think it was at the terminal radar of Haneda.
What kind of person is she?
Catherine?
Who the hell is Catherine?
Of course she is the girl that worked as a communications officer for a army facility for 30 years that I met at the bar when I went to visit NASA on a private occasion!!!
How should I have known that!
So what kind of person is she?
She is good at her job but is very up tight.
Well but she is not really my type.
Well I think she feels the same about you.
Oh man he is laughing...
And the other girls?
One of them used to be a ground staff member.
And one of them used to live in Indonesia when she was small.
Who could be who?
- Wanna guess? - Guessing that wouldn't give you any benefits.
Let's be more excited, we have nothing to do.
That's alright. But you really are interested in making a movie aren't you Hara-san?
I get the feeling that you will make a good movie if you put your words and emotions in to a movie.
In the end what I am aiming for is... Entertainment.
Oh.
What would happen if you would make this place a scene of your entertainment movie?
Well... first of all Air Force One will make an emergency landing here.
That would never happen but it sound interesting.
You will be controlling air traffic over there and then a communication will come over the radio.
Action!
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.
A mayday call Hara-san.
What!!!
May 1st the workers are fighting back.
Here we go!
Cut!
Oh no no no no. You can't use a joke like that.
- You don't think people will get it? - Do you want to make it into a comedy?
Well entertainment.
Then it should be more serious.
Action!
This is Tokunoshima Tower.
This is Air Force One.
We are announcing a emergency.
Air Force One?
We will come in for a landing in 5 minutes.
Please wait! This airport is not an airport where a aircraft like Air Force One can land.
Please head to another airport.
Cut! Cut! So you speak Japanese to them?
Well I think that understanding the movie is important to the viewer
Understanding is important...
Hey that's isn't worth to note down.
So how does it continue?
Let's make it a bit rougher.
Aaand Action!
Please wait! This airport is not an airport where a aircraft like Air Force One can land.
Please head to another airport.
This is an emergency. Volcano ash has gone into the engine.
We are going to land here to protect the life of the president.
That's impossible.
- Are you not going to allow us to land? - No, we are not saying that you can't land here but we are saying that it is impossible to land here.
With my flying skills that is...
It doesn't matter how good your flying skills are...
Don't you need 2100 meters for a 747 to land?
We only 2000 meter of runway here!
With my flying skills 100 meter is just be easeyyyy!
Cut.
What's that "easeyyyy"?
So you want to go into that direction?
A good movie has laughter and tension in quick succession.
Oh right.
Let's bring your wife into this, we need a female.
Aaand Action!
What is going on honey?
There is a idiot on its way here Narumi.
An idiot is trying to land here.
Is he trying to land here with a 747? That's just reckless.
I told him that but he is not listening to me.
Give us permission.
I can't give you that.
Air traffic controllers are stationed here to prevent accidents.
Honey.
I have no other choice if you will not give us permission.
Get out of here.
Narumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Cut.
- Hey wait wait wait a moment. - What?
Listen director Hara.
Not that Hara but I mean you. (There is a famous baseball coach that does that movement in Japan called Hara. In japan a baseball coach is also called a kantoku the same word as director)
It feels good to be called director.
- So? - What so? Having a soldier come in is alright but...
Toba-san?
I want to use that kind of person in this kind of situation.
Uhhh.... well... yeah...
And now we get to the climax of the movie. The fight scene.
Aaaand Action!
Hey!
You double crossed us.
Land it! Otherwise I will let this habu loose here.
So you are not going to shoot us?
What is your aim anyway?
To protect the president.
- But we are the one's that are trying to protect... - Stop that!
Hara-san!
You had that prepared?
Why are you not standing up?
Honey!
Listen Harumi, when I give you a sign get out of here threw there.
No I won't run from here. Because Shigeru and Sadaharu are waiting for you to get home.
Let's fight as a couple.
Narumi.
Huh she is not there.
Land Air Force One.
On Tokunoshima.
Land it. Otherwise.
Toba is going to go berserk.
- Yes I will go berserk. - Why are you conspiring with them?
Why?
Why am I... conspiring with them...
It's because of Operation Treadstone.
What did you say?
You didn't know? You are a soldier that is made in secrecy.
Huh?
You are stealing too many idea's right there.
The story was getting along so well until now.
Then let's change him to someone that is just wants to rebel for no reason.
I don't know what you want with that, but just continue!
I don't have a reason. I just have the urge to rebel against you.
I want to punch you so much.
I want to punch you so hard that you will fly to the other side of the moon.
- Land it! - I won't.
He will overrun the runway.
That will be no problem with his good flying skills.
There! Not paying attention!
Hara-san!
He didn't die from one shot...
Are you not noticing it...
I will finish you off.
Wait!
I will land it.
I will grand them permission to land.
Ready Air Force One?
- The wind is coming from the 030 direction and is 12 knots. - Roger.
You have to start landing all the way in the beginning otherwise you will overrun the runway.
Roger that. Thank you for the kind traffic controlling.
I wasn't that kind at all.
I will definitely comeback alive glasses guy!
How do you know that I'm wearing glasses?
Be sure to comeback alive.
Definitely comeback.
I have no idea anymore in what kind of position you guys are standing in.
Raise your hands!
Narumi!
I thought you ran away from here.
I did run away from here. I just forgot my mobile phone.
I did it.
It's coming in to land.
There it comes.
He is landing that far ahead.
- We did it. - Yeah.
Honey.
You have no business here anymore.
This is not a place where guys like you are supposed to come
That was some good traffic controlling.
I didn't do anything.
See ya.
Narumi. I'm so happy you are alright.
Honey!
Honey...
Look out the window...
You have done well.
What kind of ending is that?
-Shimonayagi. - What?
I will continue being a air traffic controller.
The story that I just thought up of is...
So bad.
It was about to become a movie that wouldn't even be considered to be a B-Movie.
- Let's go home. - Yes, let's go home.
We had enough fun for today.
I am going to watch a movie at home now. Do you want to come?
No I don't
But all kind of things keep happening over and over here.
You can see this view... only from here.
Being a air traffic controller in Tokunoshima is actually kind of fun.
Oh hey hey hey. It's a habu again, a habu, a habu.
Junko-san!
We can't go home like this.
Junko-san!
Oh hey, Junko-san.
Habu.
You used my name with yobisute 8 minutes ago, didn't you?
Whaaaat? You heard that?
Take care of it yourself. If you want to work here you will have to become like a real island person.
Yeah, but... hey.. uhh... but...
Junko-san
Hey, Junko-san!!!
- Habu. - Junko-san.
Please don't say that Junko-san.
Ahhhh, it's coming this way.
I will even control you.
