Dramaniac Fansubs Presents
I will certainly bring this brand to Echizen-ya.
Please!!
We discussed with the owner, and this time's result is...
You are my goddess of victory.
I demand the dismissal of chief manager Jinbo.
Everyone from the merchandise division, thank you for coming.
I'd like to announce the decisions made at the executive meeting.
From now on, you will be given orders by and work under the Business Development department.
Directional re-adjustment is needed.
Firstly, this luxury salon, Péché Mignon, will be frozen and demolished at the end of this year.
(Amano Kinue - Echizen-ya assistant buyer)
That can't be! (Amano Kinue - Echizen-ya assistant buyer)
It's the higher-ups' decision.
Also, since chief manager Jinbo failed to contract with Siela & Keith... (Jinbo Miki - chief manager of the Women's Clothing Dept)
...the planned Christmas project is now up in smoke, so... (Ozaki Takashi - chief manager of the Business Development Department)
You guys think up an alternate idea.
You want us to?
They do not want chief manager Jinbo to make any more movements.
You will fly to Paris.
And buy pre-fall collections please.
In this situation, why does chief manager Jinbo...?
How many times do I need to say it? It's the higher-ups' decision.
Think about this as a vacation and...
...please take a good rest in Paris.
Talking in such a tone... after chief manager Jinbo has worked so hard up until now..
It's as you heard.
You need to think about a Christmas season project.
The leader will be...
Amano.
Me?
In my place, you will be the project leader.
We don't have time.
Get started now.
How can we think about a Christmas project that can compete with Matsuyoshi now? [Coming soon: "Siela & Keith" at Matsuyoshi]

How can we think about a Christmas project that can compete with Matsuyoshi now? [Matsuyoshi vs Echizen-ya]
You were given a terribly important mission, weren't you? (Tahara Rika and Shirokawa Nicolas Bouquet - Assistant Buyers, Echizen-ya)
But, normally Tabuchi-san would be...
I'm sorry.
Amano.
Would you...
...like to come with me?
Good morning.
Boss!
(Tabuchi Yusaku - Chief Buyer, Echizen-ya)
Umm, Tabuchi-san. (Tabuchi Yusaku - Chief Buyer, Echizen-ya)
Sorry, but I won't be helping you guys. (Tabuchi Yusaku - Chief Buyer, Echizen-ya)
I'm flying to London now.
It's for a formal negotiation of the contract.
No way.
Hold on a second, Tabuchi-san.
Tabuchi-san!
If you leave now, Echizen-ya will...
A present should really be a Sushi T-shirt, I think.
Or rather...
...aren't you being too cold?
Huh?
At Echizen-ya's most difficult time...
...you heartless man!
What'd you say?!
At the least... at the least, you could wait a bit longer.
Even until Echizen-ya recovers to how it used to be...
Because now's a difficult time.
After the company recovers.
After this job is finished.
After the next job is finished.
While they saying these things, people'll become unable to take action.
Dreams'll fade away as we return to reality.
The time you decide to commit is the time to move.
Am I wrong?
He's already walking his own path.
I left the work to you.
Chief manager Jinbo.
If you and Tabuchi-san leave Echizen-ya now...
You want to say that it'll become a hopeless department store?
If that's so, what have you been doing until now?
I'm...
By myself?
The theme is "Echizen-ya's Christmas Collaborates".
We will set up a special sales floor on each level...
...and display limited edition items made in collaboration with popular brands.
[Echizen-ya's Christmas Collaborates]
...and display limited edition items made in collaboration with popular brands. [Christmas Limited Edition Items]
Limited edition products are big hits and sell out quickly, even at Echizen-ya.
Anyway, let's gather products we can sell well.
That's the only way to oppose Matsuyoshi.
[Defeat Matsuyoshi!]
Please approach our close brands and talk about original...
...limited edition items and collaboration with them.
Yoko-san, how about "Smacky Glam"?
The sales person is a drinking friend. I'll try asking. (Hayashi Yoko - The Space Sales Person)
Good.
Sayuri-san, how about "Harris"?
I've known them for more than 10 years. Leave it to me. (Hoshino Sayuri - The Space Sales Person)
It's a tight schedule, but everyone, here we will work together...
...and let's beat Matsuyoshi!
Yes! (Yano Kaori, Sakano Yukari - The Space Sales People)
I'm counting on you.
Onegaishimasu.
I have to do it. In Miki-sama's place...
I have to do my best!
Amano-san, you're using too much force.
Ah, thank you. Excuse me.
Amano-san, they can get 10 crocodile clutches.
10, huh? It's tough, isn't it? I'll ask them again later.
"Jayro" are holding their answer on the dress.
I'll try asking them.
Hello. It's Amano.
May I please talk to you?
Because we appreciate Echizen-ya's patronage.
Thank you very much.
And...
When can I speak to chief manager Jinbo?
Eh...? Ahh.
Umm... Jinbo is in Paris right now.
I would prefer to make a final decision after I see her.
Is it Matsuyoshi?
It seems like "Picuris" has been talking to Matsuyoshi too...
...and they said they won't have enough stock for us. After all this time.
Hello. This is Amano.
Yes. Looking forward to working with you.
Tabuchi is... on his business trip.
Sigh.
We are extremely sorry.
I feel so bad.
Amano-san.
Yes.
The customer that ordered the knit dress from "L'EST ROSE", just came to pick it up.
Ah!!
I'm sorry. I was so busy I forgot to order it.
We decided to deliver it to her house and she has agreed with it. (Sasaki Ryo - The Space sales person)
Ah... that's good. That saved me.
Thanks a lot. See you.
"That's good"?
Well... could you help us somehow...
Please!
Sigh.
Honestly, it's annoying.
In this busy time, you coming this many times.
Chief manager Jinbo and Tabuchi-san were... more considerate to us.
Echizen-ya is decaying.
Well, well.
I heard that the charismatic manager...
...during such an important time...
...was sent overseas.
(Hachiya Hideaki - buyer from Goldy)
It's boring.
Eh?
It's more interesting to have a stronger enemy.
I thought that beating Jinbo Miki...
...would achieve an emotional closure of sorts.
To think that it happened so easily.
It's a great thing to laugh at.
That, Echizen-ya, in order to beat Matsuyoshi...
...threw its pride to the wind, and is running around trying to get collaboration items.
Ah, we don't have enough at all.
We won't be able to have the event like this.
It's been difficult to stay on schedule from the beginning.
We have to do something.
I'm going to "Heat".
Amano-san, hold on.
I got turned down three times from them.
I'll do my best and try asking.
Causing them too much trouble now will affect future relations...
Now's not the time to think about that.
Sayuri-san, how did it go with "Harris"?
Ah... I have been contacting them....
Can you go and ask now?
It's fine if you entrust the floor to someone else.
But, my customer is coming today.
More important than that...
Now, thinking about the Christmas project is the top priority.
More important...
Please do it.
She can't do it.
We can't cooperate with you.
We have to work on the sales floor.
What are you saying?
Right now, we are working to beat Matsuyoshi...
To beat Matsuyoshi.
What is that for?
What?
Do it by yourself.

Thank you very much.
Thank you, Sayuri-san.
When I come again, I'll send you a text.
We'll prepare lots of cute clothes and be waiting for you again.
Sorry about before.
That customer told me that she was coming today.
You had an appointment?
I... Ever since I was little, I've been chubby.
When I reached an age of having an interest in fashion...
...and had to ask a cute and slender young sales woman, "are any there clothes that suit me?"
Well... I was a little embarrassed.
I also had a time when I gave up and wore men's clothes.
I understand how it feels.
This is a very nice sales floor, isn't it?
To have a customer who comes for just one particular sales person.
What is it if we beat Matsuyoshi?
More so than that, cherishing customers is much more important.
Am I wrong?
Even if it's just one customer, making them smile.
That's what I want to do the most at Echizen-ya.
What do you want to do, Amano-san?
Everyone, I'm sorry.
I... was conceited.
I thought I had to plan the project by myself and got overwhelmed.
Beating Matsuyoshi was the only goal...
...and I lost sight of what was really important.
Really, I'm sorry.
About the Christmas event for the customers...
I'd like to think about ideas with everyone.
Please consider it.
Amano-san... these are?
Chief manager Jinbo asked me - what do I, myself, want?
Not "have to", but to think about what I "want".
Firstly, this is one of my "wants".
A Christmas where customers smile.
Would you tell me your "want"?
Yes.
For women that did their best for a year, clothes that become a reward.
You'd ask a boyfriend to buy them anyway.
What about it?
Ah, it has to be... To make girls happy...
Small and cute Christmas gifts... looots of them.
Well? For adult women...
A Christmas that even Around 30's can enjoy alone.
I see.
Mine is of course...
Ta-dah!
Larger customers can also be stylish!
I got a little fired up: Fashionable party dresses!
I want them!
But, if it's Christmas...
Even for a date, an enjoyable women's clothing sales floor.
After all, I want everyone to come, right?
Family fun at Christmas!
Ah, that's great!
My father was busy at work...
...so on Christmas Day, we couldn't eat cake together.
Every year I was so lonely.
Hehe...
Ah!
Here. Even for busy fathers working overtime, a Christmas together.
That's good.
Ahhh, it's good!
But it's impossible at the department store.
We're closed by 8 o'clock.
Ah!!
That's it!
What is?
Ta-dah!
Spending time at the department store on Christmas night.
A night opening at the department store...
Ha, I've never heard of it.
Security issues, payroll for each department...
There are a mountain of issues to be considered.
I will talk to everyone.
Please let me talk.
Well, I left the project to you guys.
Since you're insisting, go ahead.
Thank you very much.
If you can....
The night before Christmas is a special time.
The time that children wait for Santa Claus.
The time that lovers spend romantically.
The time that lights shine, making everyone want to go out to the city.
On such a night, that the largest store in town is closed is a shame, don't you think?
Do you really expect a night opening to attract customers?
Over anything else, I'm worried about the security.
What about shifts for cleaning the store?
It would be hard to configure products starting now...
Anyway, we have no precedent.
It'll be impossible to ensure security.
Doing a new thing is very unsettling.
It's very scary.
However, when did we start to be like that?
To excite customers was our job.
The feeling of getting excited over a new thing, ourselves...
Is it okay if we forget it?
This department store still has much more potential.
As long as we don't give up.
These five days before Christmas...
...won't you try making some Echizen-ya magic?
They're here.
Ahhhhh------!!!
Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!!
Amano.
Yes?
This time, you stay on top of it. Answer?
Yes!
Fine.
That's quick.
That woman gets energetic when driven by someone.
Rika-san, 120 of the mini-Santas are here.
Fine.
Shall we do it?
Yep!
[7 days until the Christmas event]
Please.
Even if you tell me that...
I know I'm asking for the impossible. Please.
I really appreciate it...
Umm... please.
I heard that this is a big hit, this stuffed bear hot-water bottle.
It's so cute.
"That looks good. Let's go with that."
Send!
Amano-senpai, this.
It's a recently recommended lighting product.
(Mori Natsuko - Living Department, Sales Person)
It's really pretty, right? (Mori Natsuko - Living Department, Sales Person)
Thank you, Na-chan. (Mori Natsuko - Living Department, Sales Person)
Do your best at living department!
Yes. Ah... but...
...can I visit your section secretly with my boyfriend on Christmas Eve?
If it's in secret, I'll allow it.
Fine.
Fine?
I have high hopes for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to working here.
Still, I wonder why Miki-san let you go.
(Kimura Mizuho - Jinbo Miki's chief assistant)
She highly recommended you.
Eh?
Miki-san and I go back a long way...
So, I asked her about you.
Capable and a hard worker...
A little inflexible because of your serious nature...
And you are dependable, so she gave you her seal of approval.
Being someone who doesn't praise others often...
...you were in very high favor with Miki-san.
What's wrong? After all this time, being here? (Tamura Aya - Jinbo Miki's second assistant)
How about you? How's the new job?
It's fine. My relationship with the boss is fine too.
Everything is too fine...
It's lukewarm.
Miki-sama... she is in a difficult situation right now.
Everyone, are all the products okay?
Please check them once more.
Yes.
Candle lights...
Ok!
Snowmen...
Ok!
Parachute Santas...
Okay!!
She's doing as much work as a petit Miki-sama.
Then, he is like...
No, no, not like this!
Work properly, women!
He became the petit Tabuchi. His character has changed.
They haven't slept... both Amano-san and Nicolin, for three days and nights now.
All that's left is to display it tonight!
Please wait a minute. What do you mean?
Our main client companies Minami Commercial Company and Enoki Fiber have given us some resistance.
The night opening is, unfortunately, cancelled.
The event will be until 8 o'clock as usual.
To tell us that now...
In that case, the event has no meaning.
Our important partners are against it.
We can't help it.
Please let me talk to them. I will convince them.
You will?
A girl won't get a chance to do business.
What's that? Please wait.
Wait!
Then, it's my turn to do business?
Tabuchi-san.
Boss!
Since the chairman of Minami Commercial Company liked my belly dance...
He has been a good patron.
With regards to Enoki Fiber's president...
I know all about his womanizing, so...
I will convince him.
Well, it'll be done with a phone call.
Also, recently, I've been getting close to executives at Matsuyoshi.
I heard some interesting information.
I discovered it. That all of our information was being leaked to them.
Don't you think it's about time you went back to your real peers?
Do as you please.
How did it go?
No problem.
Everything is ok!
Really? That's a relief.
Thank goodness!
You should appreciate this heartless person.
But you are awesome, boss.
You know a chairman and a president at big companies. To think you have such gorgeous contacts.
Of course I don't.
Huh?
Everything is a bluff.
Huh?!
So then, what's your project?
Wooow, it's wonderful.
Amano.
Yes?
A speech.
Me?
You're the leader.
I can't. It's fine, fine.
Come on, come on!
Amano-san.
Go Leader Amano!
Umm...
I've thought long about it.
On what grounds might customers choose a store?
The reason why customers come.
That's not just because of the items.
Echizen-ya's best asset are all of you, I realized.
So that the customers show their happy faces on Christmas.
Everyone, let's become magicians tomorrow.
Answer!
Yes.
Ah!
Was it good?
Ah... don't mention it.
A beautiful sales floor.
Fine.
I brought a present.
What?
Kimura.
It'll arrive at the delivery entrance soon.
Mizuho-san.
The samples, Tamura.
Yes.
Aya-san too.
They've both returned.
Primrose.
The popular brand from Paris.
The limited Christmas eco bag, 5000 pieces.
I got them ready.
Eco bag...
How about distributing them for free as shopping bags, project leader?
Eh? Ah, ah... for free? Give them for free... yes, yes.
I see. So your aim is publicity, then?
Nico, announce it on the homepage immediately.
Yes. I'll put it on the Nico-blog too.
The packets have arrived at the delivery entrance.
Leader.
Ye.. Yes!
Carry them in.
What?
She's definitely a devil.
Heavy, heavy!
Shortly after you desperately and devoutly went to Paris,
this happened.
Nobody's success at work goes on and on.
When you fall it is important how you get up again.
Will the customers show up?
People show up at places where dreams are.
[Magic Christmas Night - Open until 23.00]
Ladies and gentleman, thank you for your patience.
The Echizen-ya Magic Christmas Night. Please enjoy...
...your stay at the wonderful Christmas night.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Here.
Would you like a little Christmas present?
Presents for your friends and family.
How about this.
Thank you very much.
This is a present.
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Excuse me.
Yes, welcome.
Kinue-chan.
Yana-san! (Yanada Takumi, manager at the pub)
Nice to see you here.
I don't go out often with my family at night.
Good evening. Enjoy yourself.
Here. Merry Christmas.
Sis', I came too.
Mayu! Don't you study for the exam? (Amano Mayu - Kinue's younger sister)
I will go to a fashion design school, so this here is kind of studying.
Ah.
A department store at night is like an amusement park.
I'm totally excited.
The customers keep coming.
The eco bag may have tipped it.
And on the Nicolin-blog it's incredible.
[Comments(1036)] [1. I want an ecobag]
A famous blogger for one night!
Famous?
Welcome. I've been expecting you.
For what matter?
I have to tell you something.
Can you please...
...stop being obsessed about other people's lives?
Your father lived his life,...
...I live mine.
And duly live your own life.
This was the first.
And the second?
Start working with your whole heart.
You ought to become a happy person.
Because you love clothes.
And the third...
Merry Christmas.
A completely new sales floor nobody has ever seen.
Unbelievable that she created this.
Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas!
Good work today.
Good work, everyone.
Good work.
That was really a beautiful Christmas event.
And also Miki-sama returned.
Echizen-ya is safe for this time.
And next comes the New Year's event.
That's great.
I have to tell you something.
Yes.
I will leave Echizen-ya.
What?
Primarily my mission was to reconstruct this store.
But when I looked at you...
...I was convinced that my mission was at an end.
In this department store...
...there are wonderful employees who can make dreams real.
I am now 30 years engaged in the work with clothes.
Just like, at Christmas...
...Santa Claus brings us presents,...
...clothes also bring us lots of beautiful gifts.
For instance, clothes...
...underpin the female friendship.
They express individuality.
They give encouragement to working women.
And for men, they bring the courage to fight.
And for some people...
...they are an entrance to a new world.
They give the courage to move forward.
They show a self unbeknownst to oneself.
And what is most magical about clothes...
...is that one will become fond of oneself.
There is no woman, who wouldn't delight in front of a mirror when she wears a fitting dress.
The world might not change because of fashion but...
...by one blouse, one dress,
one pair of highheels,
one woman's life can change.
As long as you love clothes...
...you and I will be connected.
I will keep living in this world.
So please preserve this magic somewhere in your bossom and...
...keep working with clothes.
Answer!
Answer...
Yes.
Fine...Merry Christmas!
I go now.
When do you leave?
In a few days.
Selfish, isn't it? Chief manager Jinbo and you.
What's wrong with being selfish.
Even though you said you like department stores.
That's why I will go...to a department store.
Harold's in London.
What?
I tell you, not as an ordinary buyer.
Creative director. Top of the clothing department.
Concept, clothes' design and shop image, article composition,...
...everything's my task.
Do you come with me? As an adjunct.
I won't.
Because...because...
...because I...
cannot speak English at all.
Ah. I see. Bye!
Don't hold it back.
I will become a super cool me...
...so much that Jinbo Miki shivers. When I come home...
...let's create an absolutely interesting Echizen-ya.
I understand!
Let's do it!
I'll forget private and love life! Only work!
I'll do it! Can I do that?
Stupid. If your work is interesting.
I will enjoy half of my life.
I'll make it interesting. The half of my life.
Stupid!
If you are content with one interesting half.
The other half,...
...you would enjoy that a lot too.
[Amano Kinue-sama]
[Jinbo Miki]
Excuse me.
Sit down.
-Good work. -Itadakimasu.
When I...
...brought you to the women's clothing department...
...the living department chief told me that you don't get tired of work.
When I met you in person,
you were clumsy, stubborn, simple.
What?
Young and strong-willed with a hot temper.
You work without thinking ahead.
But sometimes this fervor engages the surrounding.
Straight thinking and honesty open people's hearts easily.
You have the power to connect people.
You can make someone's joy candidly your joy.
This is the greatest talent you have.
If you keep this in mind, your future is wide open.
Keep on worrying as much as you want.
People who have the strength to worry, will someday gain self-confidence.
The chief manager Jinbo I saw...
...was stylish and beautiful although scary.
I felt like being scolded and seen through.
My stomach always hurt.
But when I came close there was always a very good scent.
How much I erred, was exhausted or failed.
You were always at my side.
Though the words were stern...
...I felt you meant to say "It's alright".
Right now I want to search my style, myself,...
... my future with all my strength.
This may not be enough...
...but...
I want to walk steadily on my own feet.
To find clothes which really suit me...
Amano Kinue-san.
Yes.
Wear beautiful clothes.
When you wear beautiful clothes...
...you will have a beautiful life.
Hey! Where are you going?
Secret.
You don't intend to follow me?
-Secret. -I won't let that happen!
What are you up to?
-I came! -You came? Go home!
Well excuse me.
Hey wait! Where are you going?
Not London, right? And you go home! Go...
Why's Hachiya with you?
Look. Look, look!
It suits you.
Should I buy it.
Yep.
You buy all that?
-Yes. -Try them on first.
Welcome.
He, he! Doesn't that fit me?
-No,no. You don't need that. -Where would you wear that?
I'll show you!
Excuse me, I'd like to try this on.
If you wear boring clothes, you will have a boring life.
Appearance isn't everything.
People are all appearance.
In 5 years, in 10 years...
...where do you want to be and what do you want to do?
Clothes can even conjure up self-esteem.
We can become sorcerers.
To not regret things...
...shouldn't we walk the path we chose, properly?
If you wear beautiful clothes...
...you will have a beautiful life.
Alright.
Good morning.
Sorry I am late. Are you ladies clothes' chief, Amano?
I got transferred from the food department.
I am Ishida Tamiko.
Sorry about the outfit.
Because I never liked clothes I...
I didn't know what to wear.
And had no idea what clothes suited me.
I avoided the view in the mirror.
I was scared to be stylish.
Then I met someone and became -one step at a time- fond of...
...clothes and also myself.
Let's give our best.
It will be alright.
Clothes can become your best ally.
And what is most magical about clothes...
...is that one will become fond of oneself.
If you feel frustrated...
...it's proof that you want to move forward.
