There's good news. A movie offer came.
The lead role is for Sakisaka Ryo.
Lead role!?
Suddenly the way to stardom opened.
We intend to release this movie internationally.
Internationally? We really got this far!
Showing motivation but overdoing it...
Hey... What happened!?
A new determination too...
We won't get separated.
Until we get to walk the red carpet.
However, however...
We have decided both, the dismissal of representative Ishino
and Mr Daimon Ryutaro's appointment.
I'll quit.
I won't let Sakisaka Ryo to quit. Excuse us.
What are you saying.
This time we got the movie, not because of you but
because it's a contract between the agency and movie company. I will stay in the company too.
But the cirmunstances once again changed...
Excuse me. You two will have a tranfer.
Your workplace is in... Kyushu.
I... quit the company.
I don't have a future with you even if I stay here.
I understood that.
What is this?
But we should walk it together... the red carpet!
Roads split but they can't stop.
The story of such two.
Tarinai mono nara There's long since
tokku ni aru kara been something missing
Ushinau koto nante nanimo kowakunai so I'm not afraid to lose anything
Chiisa na yume naraba Small dreams probably
kanawanai darou won't come true
Ookina yume dakara but I'm probably still running
ima mada hashitterun darou now because this dream is big
Mou ippotte One more step
tatoeba sore ga saigo no so that we won't regret
Ippo ni nattemo even if it becomes
kuyamanai you ni our last step
Mou ippotte One more step
fumidasu bokura no yuuki wa because our courage to step forward
Hyappobun ijou no imi wo motsu kara has more meaning than 100 steps
Ato ippotte Just one more step

Ato ippotte Just one more step

Sekai wo ugokasu chikara ni naru they become the power to move the world
So then here...here
and here too, please. Yes.
This has a good price, we are glad.
The station is also nere, it's well kept and the property also pleased us.
It's a relief. Here.
Is this good? I'll take a look.
...So we will move here.
Please treat us well.s
It will be fun to have liveliness here. Right, Otousan?
But again, you made a quick sudden decision.
I've thought of this before.
Hey, I don't want to butt in but...
This is about my job, right? What are you going to do?
I'm thinking about it.
I see.
Who is this?
Ignore!
Welcome.
Yo. Sorry to ask to you come.
Excuse me. An iced coffee. Yes, sir.
Sorry for the other day.
The situation was what is was.
I heard you quit the company.
Sorry. Don't do that.
I couldn't protect you although I said I would.
But that was... I haven't forgiven what Daimon-san did.
Even now my insides are boiling.
So, what are you going to do now?
Actually... I want to start a company.
A talent agency. Are you serious?
I also decided to name it Hinode Promotion.
Uhm...? I started this job at Hinode Pro
and then I was chased out of a company twice.
At those times the person behind it was Madarame Haruhiko.
So from this rebellious spirit towards Madarame-san...?
More like because of my willpower.
I want to stick with this even though I have to start from scratch,
with the name Hinode Promotion. I see.
But you being the president of talent agency...
Thank you for waiting. Thanks. Take your time.
So how has he been? Sakisaka Ryo, I mean.
Who knows... You haven't contacted him?
It seems like I abandoned him...
Really...
"Do you like to swim?"
"Who are you?"
"Do you like to swim?"
"I hate it." "Hmm... why?"
"I should be swimming faster but my body doesn't follow.
I can't come to like it."
"So should we do it so that you'll come to like to."
"Eh?"
Cut!
Uhm...
You'll meet the coach Uesugi Shunsuke for the first time here.
That is, the partner of your lifetime.
It's an encounter of fate, so to say.
You should be feeling something. Understand?
Yes, somehow.
Good. Let's do it again. Again, please!
Encounter... of fate.
This is how it's done!
It's you job, isn't it. Then do it seriously!
Alright!
Come in. Thank you.
You'll open a new talent agency, right?
Is this place really okay?
This is good.
You're early Ichiko-san.
It's Sawatari. I want to do it in the future.
You don't even have friends.
I'm a handtalent. And I am idol.
And here it's just about red pickled ginger!
He laughed!
"You're an odd person." Cut
It's the birth of fifth generation Goggle actor Sakisaka Ryo!
Banzai! Banzai!
President Namiki
Who is this?
Yes?
Jeez...
Mishima-san?
This excited...
You like sweet red bean soup that much?
Today is my starting day. Starting?
I finally got the A removed.
Ha? I became the P of the AP!
That means... you got promoted to producer!? Yes!
That's wonderful! Congrats! Thank you.
I have avoided the temptation of this until becoming the P.
It's delicious....
Ah...
Sorry.
And for the first time I was
entrusted with a serial drama.
That's amazing. It's October's Cool Monday Premium.
Monday Premium!? That's important!
I wanted to have Sakisaka-san as the lead
so I called to Office Ishino.
And then you had quit...
Did something happen? Well a bit.
So what did they say?
They were handed the movie schedule and there wasn't time for other jobs.
I see...
But I went to see Sakisaka-san.｡
I couldn't give up.
I'm glad but... I want to concentrate on the movie now.
How cheeky.
Somehow, he was shining.
Like "I put my body and soul in this movie".
Really.
Cut! It's cut.
Good work! About tomorrow.
Tomorrow? It's my day off. I put a CM shooting there.
I haven't heard of this. You were chosen as the image of
men's cosmetics of Rainbow Cosmetics!
It's not about that... It's a CM! CM!
Be more enthusiastic! Now is the time to make profit!
Right!
Welcome. Iced coffee, please. Okay.
And is Tadokoro-san here?
Ah, yes.
I heard. So you quit the company.
Heard from who? From Sakisaka.
Did he come here? Three days ago.
But you... Daimon Ryutarou is
such utrageous guy! Snatching other's company and
recling on the president's chair!
Right! Deviating people of their road
is his thing. He should be punished!
More importantly I have something to talk to you about.
What?
I want to revive Hinode Pro.
Revive Hinode Pro!?
I want to start a new at the same place.
That's peculiar or more like stupid thing to think.
In truth I want all the original members to come back.
But since everyone has gone to different places
that isn't happening. Of course.
Time only goes forward.
But I noticed that there was one person near
who hasn't gone anywhere.
Me? Shall we do it together?
I show that I'll totally revive the rock singer Tadokoro Shinya!
I retired. That's right.
That's why I can revive you. Don't quibble.
When man has made a decision,
you don't just change it. But... I refuse!
You can change you mind! No!
Sorry.
Who are you?
Was it you? Since morning, over and over again.
Yes! Do you know her?
No.
This girl is here all the time. Making such a gloomy face.
Namiki-san. Ha?
I was scouted by Namiki-san,
in Okinawa's Emerald Beach. Scout?
You're from Okinawa? I'm from Akita.
Akita? I happened to be traveling in Okinawa
and met Namiki-san.
This is confusing.
And... he said I should visit Sawatari Ichiko-san
and then when I went to Office Ishino, I was told you quit.
I tried to call you many times and came to this Hello bar...
I didn't dare to talk to the scary master.
What's your name? Tanaka Sachiko.
It's written as a happy child in the rice field.
You see, Sachiko-san... Please make me an actress!
Ha?
I will definitely become the second Nakazato Reiko.
Ha!? Namiki-san said that.
I was told that.
You think she'll become? Don't ask me.
You know, Sachiko-san... Sawatari-san,
you brought up that Sakisaka Ryo, right? Well yeah.
Please make me rise up too! Ha?
I quit my job and came here.
Eh...? That's right! In my place take her.
To your new born Hinode Promotion.
I came here to ask you.
I refused already. You're such a persistent woman. Ha!?
How far are you going to follow me? I have no place to go to.
Return to your hometown. Shinkansen is not leaving at this hour.
So you came from Akita. Yes.
If that's so you can stay here.
Is that okay? Yes.
Shouldn't you say something?
Sorry. Thank you for your help.
We don't have a spear room so you have to sleep there.
That's totally fine. Thank you.
Ah, yes!
It's kiritampo set.
When it's this warm? Well thank you.
This is Akita's local cuisine, we put it in hot pots, grill it...
I know that. Tomorrow you'll return to your hometown. Okay?
Akita's famous products: Hachimori butterfish, Eh?
Oga yellowtail, Hey...
It's Akita Ondo! Ha?
Noshiro lacquerware, Hiyama fermented soybeans and Odate birchbark vessels
I couldn't be with you anymore.
Make this movie a hit.
Weren't we comrades?
We promised to walk it together, didn't we!
Ichiko! Ichiko, wake up! Eh?
Otousan is not here! What!?
Where was he? In a park in Shibuya.
Why did he go there... Homeless people looked after him
when he collapsed.
So how is his condition? The severe heat stroke
has caused him bad dehydration.
His life.... his life is not in danger, right?
He was fairly long time under the blazing sun.
Otousan!
Otousan...
Otousan!
Kaa... I'm here.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Otousan.
I'm sorry I didn't notice you we're gone.
Otousan...?
Ichiko.
Rika.
Yes?
Sisters... get along.
I wanted to say this earlier...
I'm glad I said it now.
Otousan.
Otousan...
Seems he fell asleep.
Since Otousan is stable should we have some tea?
Okay?
Okay...
Himura-san!
There is a underwater camera in the pool but don't mind it.
Just consentrate. Okay.
We received ice cream from Madarame Corporation,
the executive secretary of Production Commitee! Thank you for your help.
Really, thank you very much.
This is the director Hanamoto. This is Madarame-san. Our main sponsor.
I'm Hanamoto. I have high expectations for this.
And you son, Ryo-kun, is also working hard!
Cut!
It's cut! Cut! OK!
Aren't you working hard.
Production Commitee, huh. Do you have interest in the movie?
Or are you here watching over me?
As usual you talk like a child.
Well, you're working hard.
Ah, yes.
Sawatari Ichiko-kun's father died.
What did you just say? The funeral is on the day after tomorrow.
Keigo-san...
Okaasan...
Dad.
President.
I offer my condolences.
It was sudden.
Tadokoro... Shinya-san? Yes.
Ah... Sorry. My mother is a fan.
It's Daimon Ryutaro. Eh? Daimon Ryutaro?
You! How dare you come here!
Tadokoro-san!
It's not your place to come here!
Am I not allowed to mourn after my acquiantance's father?
I heard you did something terrible to this acquiantance!
Ah!? Tadokoro-san.
Tadokoro Shinya-san. What!
You know the Rolling Stones, right.
Of course! What about it!?
What about the meaning of the name?
"Stone that keeps rolling", that's the meaning.
In my opinion you are not rolling stones
but a motionless stone covered by moss.
You don't have the force or courage to roll on your own.
You're saying you're the one rolling?
At least I'm proceeding forward making new things.
Hmm... "For that I don't care if I step on the ants!"
Is that what you want to say!
Ants? Ah...
I see, ants.
Even so, those ants have hearts too.
Singing about pain and sorrow is rock's spirit!
Rock, huh. What!?
Your song "Hello My Love!" is not rock, it's pop.
Pop song? Bye then.
Hey! You! Tadokoro-san!
Hey! Daimon!
Ah, that is...
This is...
Ryo-kun.
Come here for a little.
What is it? Just come!
What are you doing here! What...
What about the movie? What happened?
I got the schedule changed. I have half the day free.
Are you kidding me!? Do you think the movie will be success
when you do things like this!?
I'm indepted to your father.
Many times I was given food and
I got to stay at your place.
Listen, actors don't get see their parents' moment of deaths.
And what? Nonchalantly taking free day
for visiting the funeral of stranger's father.
Taken care of? Debt of gratitude? If you want to express your gratitude
go to heaven and say it directly to the person!
So cool...
He is, isn't he.
I mean Sawatari-san. Ha?
Look, if you understand go back immediately.
Are you okay?
I am.
Mother, did you notice?
What?
At the end, father really recognised us.
Not just at the end.
I think he actually understood everything.
All the time.
Kazuomi. Yes?
I'd like to take a nap but being alone is lonely.
Would you come with me?
Okay but...
Okay. Let's go.
You haven't forgiven me, right?
Not me, us...
I want to marry him.
We're terrible.
But... I wanted to talk about it in front of father.
Why don't you? Get married.
Get married and give birth.
Oneechan.
After that when your husband betrayes you, you understand how I feel.
This is not something to talk about in front of father.
Were you going to stay at ours?
There is no place for you to sleep. Go home.
I'm narrow minded.
I'm tired of it...
Otousan.
"Sisters, get along", I won't forget these words.
I won't forget...
Uhm...
Return those clothes, okay?
Yes.
And for sure go home tomorrow.
I want to become the second Sakisaka Ryo.
Not Nakazato Reiko?
I know it's a harsh world.
I won't mind that I won't see my parents' deaths.
Were you listening? Yes, I was moved
that why I want your help, Sawatari-san, no matter what.
Please take care of me! Please!
Please.
Now laugh.
Don't flirt! More naturally. Face this way.
That's a leer. Eh?
Hobbies? Jigsaw puzzles and knitting.
And showeling snow.
Does showeling snow count as a hobby?
It has to be done and if you don't like it, make yourself like it a lot.
Huh? My mother taught me that.
Anyway, for the time being I will keep you but if you don't bud
I'll make you go back at once.
I have a great feeling. Ha?
I'm this Hinode Pro's number one,
the main talent.
More like you're the only one.
I thought of a stage name.
Stage name? Tanaka Shachiko is such an ordinary name.
I thought that a little more gorgeous name is better.
Like for example Kodemari Kirara,
Saionji Sakurako, Tsukikage Shion.
Doesn't suit you at all.
Oo! Eh? What is this!
How pretty! What is this!
Uhm...! Ou! Here.
Thank you.
I'll make tea.
Thanks. Thank you.
Tea, tea. I'm so hungry. It's delicious.
Hey... what is this?
What are you saying to your talents?
Huh? Why didn't you invite us?
To this freshly started Hinode Pro. How standoffish of you, Sawatari-san.
But your agencies? We quit. What!?
Naturally.
I too want to make rock once again.
The rock of crushed ants, as in the royal road of rock 'n' roll.
I am a volunteer so I don't need salary
but I have a shop so I'll leave at four.
Yumi-chan... Sawatari.
There is more.
He's here. Without delay.
I'm coming.
Hello! Namiki-san!
President! Though I'm not a president anymore.
I tried to call you many times!
I lost my phone.
When I was parasailing in Okinawa it dropped.
But why...
If the old man is not here it won't start.
But the president is Ichiko-chan.
It's Sawatari. Yes yes.
It's nostalgic. Those lines.
I'm, how to say it, an advisor or
the answering machine.
President! I'm not a president anymore.
Excuse me. Welcome.
I saw you bying lunch so I though of this dessert.
Thank you. Come eat with us.
I do have one suggestion, shouldn't that president thing be reversed?
Reversed?
I want you to make me your employee.
Eh...? What did you just say?
You want to join this company? Yes.
Eh!?
Really? Are you saying that for real?
Yes. But...
I once thought of abandoning this world
but seeing Tadokoro-san speaking sharply to Daimon Ryutaro changed my mind.
I too want to show the spirit of crushed ant.
As a manager.
Really... Is that okay?
If I can get the president's permission.
Banzai!
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
Ah.
Ryo-kun.
Ryo-kun wanted to be with us too.
He is. He is still our friend.
Anyway, this is new born Hinode Promotion's journey.
Let's cheer up! Okay!
Hello, Hello My Love Hello! Hello!
Yume wa kanau monda ne Oh Baby, Dreams do come true Oh Baby,
Hello, Hello My Love Hello, Hello My Love
Sabaku no nakade in the desert
Why aren't they together at such time...
Ready, start!
"I want to follow you."
"It will be hard." "Just as I wish."
Doing their best seperately...
Seeking the answers alone...
