If you wear boring clothes...
You will have a boring life.
Sorry for wearing boring clothes!
Clothes... I don't like clothes.
Kinue, just stay as you are.
In 5 years time, or in 10 years time...
Where will you be, and what do you want to do?
Kinue, do you have time this Sunday?
Clothes can conjure up even self esteem.
We can even become sorcerers.
Kinue?
First you get buyer training.
Buyer?
You'll become busier and busier with work.
But I'm kind of excited.
I see..
Finish the pricing for the VIP sale today.
Got it!
She is on it, Amano-san.
Her eyes are glittering.
I will go back to my parents' home.
I'll go back... and help my brother in my father's shop.
I want you to come with me.
Echizen-ya's private brand's third project has been decided.
Call Amano here.
What?
You got proposed to?
(Amano Kinue - Women's Clothing Department, Echizen-ya.)
Ah... yeah.
Sis, that's great!
(Amano Mayu - Kinue's younger sister)
So how did he propose?
What?!
Well...
(Amano Kinue-san.)
(Yes?)
(Yamauchi Tatsuya - Kinue's boyfriend)
(Let's get married.)
That's straightforward.
So, what did you answer?
(I will.)
(I will marry you.)
(Let's become a family.)
Wow, you're really getting married.
How exciting...
I know.
...what should I wear for the wedding?
You're thinking about THAT?
See you.
Take care.
Sister...
Hm?
Congratulations!
Thanks.
See you.
Bye-bye.
(Marriage.)
(Living together with Tatsuya....)
(I will marry.)
(Echizen-ya...)
(Work...)
(Resigning...)
When will this arrive?
Umm... in two days.
In two days.
Yes.
Good morning.
Ah, Tabuchi-san, do you have some time?
I need to talk to you.
(Tabuchi Yusaku - Chief Buyer at Echizen-ya)
Oh, what a coincidence!
I need to talk to you too.
What?
Come on, Nico.
(Shirogawa Nicolas Bouquet - Assistant Buyer at Echizen-ya)
Sure.
Wait, wait!
Where are we going?
Wait, wait!!!!
[Once in a life time... Echizen-ya original wedding dresses]
[Project proposal: Amano Kinue]
Tell me the purpose of this project.
30 seconds.
What?
Yes.
Well, I went to a friend's wedding the other day.
I've only seen her wearing sports outfits, but...
...her wedding dress figure was...
15 seconds left.
...so beautiful. And so full of happiness...
...that it made me happy, too.
Once in her life, a woman wears a memorable dress, and...
...if Echizen-ya could make these dresses originally...
(Jinbo Miki - chief manager of the Women's Clothing Department, Echizen-ya)
Fine. As you analyzed...
...the wedding business is a hot spot right now.
Every brand is eagerly opening up this market.
However, a sole onset entails risks.
We have the power to facilitate the entry.
Based on your plan, and collaborating with popular brands...
...the production of our original wedding dresses has been decided.
What?!
(Tamura Aya - Miki Jinbo's second assistant) (Kimura Mizuho - Miki Jinbo's chief assistant)
We are in negotiations about a co-development with several brands.
You will plan the promotion event...
...featured by "The Space".
Well...
Answer.
Yes.
Fine.
(Marriage.)
It seems like dresses with a big flower or an impact ribbon...
...is the trend. Look.
Maybe we should lay out...
...an A-line dress, that anyone can wear.
A mermaid line dress with a dignified aura...
...is a safe bet.
How about you, Amano?
Hey!
Excuse me.
You, if you are not motivated, please leave this project.
She's just surprised.
What a privilege.
Right?
Yes.
I'll go meet some designers.
I'll do some research.
I'll visit the advertisement agent.
Then, we will exchange ideas over lunch.
Amano-san, what would you like to eat?
Japanese? Pasta?
Oh, how about buckwheat crepes?
(Hayashi Yoko & Sasaki Ryo - "The Space" sales people)
Lately, this place's been the talk of the town.
These are all 100 calories each.
Really?!
It's easy to understand and healthy, right?
What did you get?
I got a soymilk bagna càuda.
I got a bitter-melon pesto.
Sounds yummy!
Ah, 500 calories, 400 calories.
How about you, Boss?
That exceeds 1000 calories.
That's not healthy at all!
Amano-san?
What's wrong? Only cakes?
If you're not eating, I'll take one.
Stop it, Boss.
1100 calories, not good.
You're pretty pesky. Even though you're a man.
Umm...
I will get married soon.
What?
Isn't this timely?
Your marriage and your bridal fair project acceptance.
Congratulations!!
Thank you very much.
Then I will...
...resign from Echizen-ya.
What?
Huh?
Why?
Eh?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Hey, why?
Why do you have to resign?
That's because...
My fiancé will go back to his home town and help the family business.
So, I will go there with him.
Well...
...why doesn't he go back by himself?
Excuse me?
Don't marry someone who can't even go back to his family by himself.
You're being unreasonable, Boss.
The unreasonable one is her fiancé, I think.
Huh?
Why does Amano-san have to resign from Echizen-ya for his reasons?
I don't understand that.
That's right!!
But, what about other peoples' happiness?
Right?!
Think about it!
If I said I'd resign from work...
...and follow my partner to her hometown.
What would you think?
Well, it's different for men and women.
Gender doesn't matter at work!
Work is your flesh.
If you slack off or play around...
...eventually your mind and body will diminish.
You, if you have to say farewell to this field forever...
...would that be okay with you?!
That's not true.
Fine. I got it.
Just go wherever you want!
I've got no intention of telling her.
What?
Chief manager Jinbo.
If you want to leave, tell her yourself.
You want to resign from work this year, right?
I am sorry.
I'd like to resign from my position as the leader of the sales promotion event.
It won't help if I try to convince you, right?
Ahh... that's too bad.
Only because of you could we tackle such a project.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
(I will get married.)
Chief manager Jinbo.
What is it?
Well...
(Living together with Tatsuya.)
(Work...)
Have a nice day.
(Echizen-ya...)
(Resigning?)

Dramaniac Fansubs Presents
Wedding dresses, huh?
If I was wearing one, I'd prefer a simple one.
If I was wearing one, that is.
A bride should be simple.
Yoko-san...
...you're still planning on wearing one, aren't you?
"Still" is uncalled-for.
Have you heard about "mature marriage"?
I definitely want a mini dress.
But it won't look nice once I get older, so...
(Yano Kaori - Sales person)
I definitely want to get married before 25.
What? Are you after a fight?
I'm scared.
And you, Yukari-san?
Ah!
If we're having a bridal fair...
(Sakano Yukari - Sales person)
It should be casual.
I could bring my still-undecided-boyfriend...
...and sway him a bit towards marriage.
Oh, I see.
What about Sayuri-san?
What?
It seems like her last un-married classmate is getting married.
(Hoshino Sayuri - Sales person)
Amano.
Yes.
Chief Manager Jinbo will be back late tonight.
Can you give a presentation?
Yes. I will prepare it now.
Include the trends of foreign brands too.
Yes.
Consumer questionnaire. Courteous and easy to understand.
Yes, I will compile it.
Fine.
Boss, it's impossible to finish all this today.
Then, I'll leave it to you.
Let's go Nico.
Yes.
Ah, Tabuchi-san.
I will work three times as much.
Huh?
I will finish this project even if I break down.
This will be my last project.
Hmm.
Then did you tell her about the marriage?
Ah, not yet.
Nico, let's go.
Yes.
Do your best.
All right.
Boss.
She won't quit.
Hold on, Boss. No ploys.
Ta-dah!
Ahh. A bridal fair...
Ah, if you have time, come.
It's open for everyone.
Instead of thinking about other people's weddings, what about ours?
Look. We should get married while we are in Tokyo.
Wedding...
Here.
Fried red and white shrimp to celebrate your engagement.
Oh~
Invite me to the reception banquet.
Of course!
I'll ask you to give a speech.
Okay!
Good.
It's short notice, so it might be hard to make a reservation.
We need to rush some decisions.
What kind of place do you want?
What? Ah, the wedding...
What's that half-assed answer?
Well, it's not like that...
I was thinking that we can just file the marriage paper.
You know, it costs a lot.
It's once in our life, so I want to at least give it my best.
That's right. Thank you.
Oh, about visiting your mother...
When would be best?
Mm.
...maybe the weekend is best?
So, what about your devil manager?
Eh?
When you told her you'll resign, she didn't say anything nasty?
Ah, actually, I haven't had the chance to tell her yet.
Ah... I see.
Ow, it hurts.
Ow, ow, ow.
It hurts!
What's wrong?
A sore heel.
Tatsuya, do you have a band-aid?
Huh? I don't have one.
Geez. It's 'cause you're wearing such high heels.
I know, I'm not used to wearing 10cm high heels.
You should wear flat shoes like you used to.
Shoes are all same.
They're different!
Ryo-san wears 13cm torture high heels and stays on the floor all day.
She said "fashion is about endurance."
But after this, you won't need those shoes.
That's true.
Ah, it's Tabuchi-san.
I'm sorry, I gotta go.
Now?
Yeah. I have to give a presentation.
So late?
Sorry. I want to do my best because this is my last project.
I see.
Then, I'll have a look at wedding facilities.
Yes. Thank you!
I'll call you later.
Kinue!
Hm?
Do your best!
Got it. Thanks.
See you.
Research shows that the concept of "marriageable age" is a thing of the past.
High teens to 40's...
...the bridal fair has to support all age groups...
...and modern wedding varieties.
Our concept is "Young to Mature Marriage".
First, we have to show our customers
our variety of dresses for different age groups.
Fine.
Basically, you can start working on the project.
Yes.
But, it's boring.
What?
"Need to" or "have to"...
Your plan is only "have to".
What do you think, yourself?
Instead of "have to", think "want to".
Want....
Raw Provider: gryzze
Translators: Tango, Sawara
Timers: southsiderish, jasminech Timings Provider: qop123
Editor: jasminech
Typesetter: southsideirish
QC: southsideirish
Then I will do the rest.
Thanks.
Yep!
Excuse me.
Amano.
Bring me an enamel black purse, a fur beret, and a pair of sequined flat shoes.
Yes. Please hold this.
What?
Sorry.
Oh, you scared me.
That's everything.
Amano.
Yes?
Bring me three torsos.
Yes.
Ugh, so heavy.
Three torsos, here they are.
Amano, you're late.
Return them.
Huh?!
Yes.
(Tahara Rika - assistant buyer, Echizen-ya)
It's outrageous.
This jerk, Tabuchi!!
[I'm sorry, Tatsuya. I have to work overtime today. - Kinue]
I'm home.
[You've worked hard! I've listed the places that are still taking reservations. Please call me. - Tatsuya]
Tatsuya was here.
I have to work.
Adding another tiered frill diagonally, attaching a little more panier...
and making it fluffier could look nice.
Impressive, Jinbo-san.
We will discuss that with our designer immediately.
Ah, thank you very much.
Please.
Nevertheless, you delivered a wonderful design.
I really appreciate it.
After all...
...we are glad that we chose to work with Echizen-ya.
What do you mean?
Just between you and me.
We also received a similar wedding project offer from Matsuyoshi Store.
It seems they've hired a young guy to advise their clothing department.
Oh, he's excellent, really excellent.
Do you know him?
Hachiya Hideaki from Goldy?
(Hachiya Hideaki - buyer from Goldy)
Tabuchi-san, where are we going today?
Recently, his movements smell fishy.
He's doing this right in front of our noses.
[Bridal Fair at the Matsuyoshi Department Store]
Ah, mother?
How are you doing?
I'll be coming home with Kinue next month.
Mm. Bye.
[No new emails.]
What's wrong? Such a serious face.
Haru-chan!
(Harumi Hori - Tatsuya's classmate)
Wow.
Beautiful.
Would you like to try it on?
Yes. Well...
It's a collaboration with various famous brands:
Our Matsuyoshi original wedding dress.
Matsuyoshi original....
Try it on.
She's getting married soon.
It's okay, isn't it, sales clerk?
Of course. I'll prepare it.
It's marvelous.
Yes.
It's more enchanting with an accessory.
Yes. You look really beautiful.
It's perfect.
Please come stand in front of the mirror.
Please.
No woman wears a wedding dress...
...with such an anxious face.
What?
The truth is you have doubts about your marriage?
"Young to mature marriage".
Didn't you just copy our concept?
You hire a spy or something?
I ask you the same question.
Well, Amano-san.
Let's have a cup of herb tea sometime, if you like.
Don't drink herb tea if you're a man.
Oh, it's good.
Oh!!!!
You are a little loud.
Your scalp is really hard.
You must really be tired.
Am I rushing things?
Marriage, huh?
I know that it's a lifetime thing.
She also has her own pace.
Yeah... but, I understand your rush.
The family business is involved.
If you don't hurry...
No, it's not that.
No?
I was already thinking about going back even before he died.
I want her to be honestly happy.
Being frustrated by myself won't solve anything.
Mm, I'll try talking to her once more.
You are a nice person, Tatsuya-kun.
Tabuchi-san.
Should we really hold a fair that's practically the same as Matsuyoshi's?
Huh?
Let's think again.
We could make something more Echizen-ya-like.
Something, what do you mean?
What?
What do you want to do?
Well...
Because your boyfriend is going back to his family.
Because you don't want to be seperated from him.
Because you don't want to be alone.
So you have to get married.
Expecting things from people with a "have to" attitude is hopeless.
That's not true.
Well, then do you have a "want to" life, Tabuchi-san?
Of course. I have a lot of desires.
What are your desires?
Dig up a brand which nobody in the world knows.
Connect a new talented designer with customers.
Make a breakthrough in Japan and spread it over the world.
Japan is... no...
Ouch.
We will be the fashion mecca.
Oh...
Tabuchi-san!
I got a late-evening snack, donuts and yakisoba-bread. (note: yakisoba is fried noodles)
You really like carbohydrates, don't you?
All right. We will work hard tonight.
Yes.
Ow, ow.
You came over, Tatsuya.
Yep.
You're late.
Yeah.
I called you several times but you didn't pick up.
I'm sorry.
Because I waited so long and you never had time...
...there are a lot of decisions we need to make.
Mm, that's true.
You haven't read these.
Sorry, I've been caught up with work.
You're resigning anyway. Take it easy at work.
Resigning anyway?
That's true...
Yes, that's true, but...
Because I'm getting married to you...
I want to work as hard as possible on my last project.
I don't think so.
Don't use our marriage as an excuse to work.
An excuse?
But...
But you were always cheering me on, weren't you?
You said "do your best", "do whatever you want"...
Then, were those all lies?
Just pretending to cheer me on?
Yeah, that's right.
Those were all lies.
What happened to you, Tatsuya?
You've changed.
What are you saying?
The one that has changed is you.
The former Kinue would have thought...
...about our future with the same seriousness as I did.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
The one that has changed is you.
That's all.
We don't have much time left,
but let's give our best.
We will.
[Sorry about the other day. Have you got time tonight? I want to talk to you.]
(You're resigning anyway. Take it easy at work.)
Good work today.
Oh!
Good work today.
Could you be looking for a dress for your invitation?
I heard that a friend of yours is getting married.
No.
I already have one.
A classic camisole dress.
$200 at the employee sale.
Who started this trend?
Everyone wears the same dress.
A camisole dress with some cover-up.
But it really doesn't suit me.
Recently, a friend who I haven't met for a while told me:
"What? What are you? You look like a brushed off cabaret girl."
Nevertheless, it's scary to wear something too different from everyone else.
And if you try too hard, you shipwreck.
For a formal occasion it's difficult to wear a dress to suit your own style.
Bye, see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Oh!
You want to change the event concept?
What? Now?
There's no way we'll make it on time. We're already short on time.
Did you think about the model bookings?
It's okay! I have an idea.
(Ryo) Stop it. (Sayuri) Ryo-san, I am the thousand-armed Buddha.
Okay!
A safe coordination.
A belt for accent.
A thick pearl necklace adds individuality.
It's important to follow the formal rules.
But that doesn't mean that everyone has to look the same.
Yes.
Continue.
Yes!
Yep!
Um, chief manager Jinbo?
Err, I...
Once I finish this project...
Go get married.
Wha..?
If that's what you want.
Where to live, who to live with...
Your future is for you to decide.
At least I did so until now.
I don't mind where you go.
At least decide the place you'll live, by yourself.
[Echizen-ya Bridal Fair "From Late Teen to Mature Marriage"]
The theme for the Echizen-ya bridal fair is
"From Late Teen To Mature Marriage."
The fulfilment of dreams of different ages of women:
Original Echizen-ya bridal dresses.
Please, see for yourself, from up close.
And today Echizen-ya's "The Space" features
suggestions of coordination for party dresses.
Choosing a right dress for a wedding invitation is a worry for women.
That doesn't mean that everyone has to wear the same, plain dress.
Celebrate the precious bride.
Especially on this occasion, with your individual elegance...
...add ornament to your friends' happiness.
The other theme, for this event, is "spreading happiness".
The happiness of the couple shall spread to their family, friends and their future life.
Dear customers, in our party dress corner please enjoy individual clothing coordinations.
Thank you very much.
We look forward to your next visit.
Thank you very much.
Amano-san.
Yes!
Tutu and corsage please.
Yes, just a moment, please.
(The former Kinue would have thought...)
(...about our future with the same seriousness as I did.)
(At least decide the place you'll live, by yourself.)
Here they are.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Yes.
I'm looking for an accessory to match this dress.
Ah, I see.
How about this pearl necklace?
Beautiful.
Big pearls are cute.
If we had a fair everyday, business would boom.
Let's party tonight.
Oh!
I found a place where they have good belgian beer.
I prefer shochu.
That's a good idea.
I'm in.
Satsuma cuisine?
You'll join us, right, Amano-san?
Ah?
Ah, sorry, I already have plans for today.
Ah! Perhaps.. it's him?
Yes, it is him.
Everyone, please really enjoy yourselves.
Good work!
Same to you.
I...
can't marry you.
I can't follow you now.
But I told you, didn't I?
That I cannot fool around anymore.
That if you say 'no', we would break up.
I am sorry.
Kinue...
You prefer work over marriage. I felt that...
...somewhere in my heart.
I'm fine.
(Sorry for wearing boring clothes.)
(Yes, yes.)
(Even in these clothes, if Tatsuya is there and I can sell futons, I am happy.)
(You can do it!)
(Ace of the bedding department!)
(Tatsuya, am I really that uncool?)
(Kinue, just stay as you are.)
(Do what you like.)
(Do your best for the exam.)
(It's Kinue's life, so you should do what you want.)
(Congratulations on passing the management exam!)
(Thank you!)
(Thank you, Tatsuya!)
(Amano Kinue-san.)
(Yes?)
(Let's get married.)
(I don't want to be alone.)
(Let's become a family.)
I'm fine.
Yes, I'm fine.
It's alright.
(Ow, it hurts!)
(What's wrong?)
(A sore heel.)
(Tatsuya, do you have a band-aid?)
(Huh? I don't have one.)
I cancelled my wedding.
From now on I live to work.
Till the end of the month, definitely.
Please look.
Quickly finish the project draft!
I cannot love him.
Such an insensitive man.
You love me that much?
Dunno.
If you like I can drive you home.
I'll think about it!
So, once again, you don't know what to wear?
