Now is starting the 80th anniversary work of Touchi Movie,
Return's preview showing.
This work is about the suffering and then recovering
of Moscow Olympics representative athlete.
Futhermore this theme was highly praised
and got nominated for Singapore Film Festival award!
"This work was blessed with wonderful staff and gorgeous cast
and we are proud this work turned out very high quality."
He looks good. Yes.
Starring actor, Sakisaka-san,
please tell us the highlights of this film.
I think that you'll see how a hero,
who was supported by a comrade who had the same aspirations,
bounced back from despair.
Yes.
You'll be spending New Year's in Singapore,
is there anyone you'd like to take with you?
Uhm... There is?
I want to go with my wife.
Actually next year is our silver wedding anniversary, so it also serves as the celebration of that.
Congratulations.
Director Hanamoto. Ah yes.
What was the most difficult part of the filming?
Ryo-kun will really walk the red carpet.
Yes.
Sawatari, shouldn't we be going?
Ah... yes! Were are you going?
To a meeting. Of Kouhaku.
Reaching the top but being alone involuntarily.
But if they believe something will to happen.
Such a story of a man and a woman.
This way.
I'm announcer Fukumori,
the main host of Kouhaku Song Festival.
I'm Tadokoro! Nice to meet you.
And this is the captain of white team...
I'm Atarashi. And the captain of red team.
It's been a while. I'm Karen.
Do you know each other? We met in a drama filming.
"Ryo-kun, please go out with me!"
Hello.
And then... I'm director Shono.
Hello!
Nice to meet you. You too.
So, please take a seat.
Please let us know if there is any requests for the production.
Requests?
Yes. Go ahead without refrain.
If so, then an orcherstra, dancers
and with lighting. I see...
From the middle... I want to rise from the bottom.
With a huge costume ascending high.
How about that?
The enka singer Sugimori Nagisa-san is the one doing that.
How about broadcasting it outside the venue?
Outside broadcasting?
In fact, I have a little shop, so have a camera there...
Ijuin Sayumi-san is the one doing it from Angkor Wat.
The world heritage one.
Hmm, I see... Oh and...
Yes? Can he sing two songs...?
Two songs!? That's good one!
"Hello My Love!" and "The two"! A new and old hit medley.
No, no. This time is the drama theme song battle.
Well one song is enough.
Then! You still have those?
So then, from the bottom like this.
Oh! That's nice!
Right! Then there bathed by spotlights
with a leopard print costume and then start!
I'm too excited! I'm... too excited!
Tadokoro-san, nosebleed... Shinya-san!
Which one? Which one? This one, this...!
Nosebleed, nosebleed! Yumi-chan, tissues!
Shinya-san got too excited... Welcome.
Oh, Ryo-kun. Sakisaka, we watched the press conference.
You were great. Thanks.
Ryo-kun, here.
Uhm, where is she today?
Sawatari? She's not here. I see.
But this, this! A new cocktail. Kouhaku splash!
Drink it. It's mine... You don't need it...!
And say that after you have paid the bill.
Well it's a celebration time.
Uhm... Excuse me.
Ah excuse me for a moment.
I'll sing! Good evening!
Hello, Hello My Love
Hey... how do you buy a dress?
Eh?
This one's good.
And this too. It suits you well.
I didn't say I was taking anyone.
Why not?
Actually it's not that person.
So how tall is the person then?
About this tall.
And the waist?
Like this...?
And the bust? I don't know!
Who are you giving it? Eh?
That's shocking. You having a girlfriend.
No...
Good morning. Good morning.
You're late.
Actually this morning, with Sakisaka... What?
Ah... no, nothing.
I was supposed not to speak of it... What?
Ah nothing!
So, shall we leave to Douzai TV? Yes!
Sakisaka Ryo
Sorry for bothering you.
So what did you want to talk about?
To the Film Festival? Sawatari-san?
I want to take her. I'm surprised.
I want to walk the red carpet with her.
There is two problems.
First, she is not your manager now.
She is the president of Hinode Pro.
And besides, managers don't walk the red carpet.
As long as you're not married or lovers.
So that means you want to take her with you as a female?
So that's it...
Did you confess to her?
No.
Then I'll be the first.
Why did you tell me that?
I thought it'd be logical.
Logical...huh.
Sorry for ambushing you.
Uhm... how is the DOMS thing?
It's settled. I see.
Uhm, so today...?
I wanted to apologize to you. Apologize?
Firstly for firing you.
You going there is not a mere secondment. It's a demotion.
The other thing is...
for crushing Hinode Pro.
We beg of you to overlook this for one time! Please!
I decline. It's a game over.
I'm sorry for those.
It's already in the past.
And because of that I'm like this now.
You've changed.
What are you going to do from now on?
I want to do something related to water.
You mean drinking water?
Not only drinking water but industrial water and agricultural water too.
The supply of water is no longer enough in the world.
Japanese aren't the only one thinking that
if you turn the faucet water will come out. Ha...
First I'm thinking of buying land around from Yamanashi.
You're amazing after all.
And... I wanted to thank you.
Why?
For turning my son like this.
That's...
Thanks to you he began to express his feelings a little.
I'm thankful.
He became like this because of his own strength.
He is walking the red carpet with his own strength.
Sakisaka Ryo
What's with calling me here?
What? Ah... no.
So what did you want to tell me?
Oh, I met with your father.
Eh?
We talked a bit and settled our differences.
I see.
So?
Do you remember what you said before at this place?
Would you walk the red carpet with me?
What I said was true, right?
That you have talent and will become popular for sure.
With me... Eh?
Will you walk the red carpet with me?
What?
Here...
It's a dress, for the red carpet.
Uhm... These are my feelings.
Feelings? Bye.
Hey... this!
Hey!
Yes?
Morning.
I'll accept your thoughts.
Thank you.
Uhm...
I can't go to the Film Festival in the first place.
Tadokoro-san has Kouhaku in the New Year's Eve.
I know. I know that...
I'm a manager. I can't just not attend to
Tadokoro Shinya's big moment.
So... if there wasn't that?
Would you have gone with me?
Well that's how it is now. I'm sorry.
Bye.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Kyou wa tanoshii kurisumasu Today is fun Christmas
Yay! Jingle bells, jingle bells
Uhm... Come in.
Welcome. Aunt Rika.
I came to bring Kazuomi Christmas present.
Is it okay?
Yes.
Merry Christmas. This is from your dad.
Thank you.
So then I...
Why don't you eat a bit? No need, bye then.
Kazuomi.
Do you want to see dad?
Eh?
Your dad is moving to Italy.
You won't be able to see him.
You can take Kazuomi with you today.
No but... Quickly.
Go before I change my mind.
Thank you.
Dad! Kazuomi!
Dad, Merry Christmas!
Why? Ichiko said...
that this is like a Christmas present.
I see.
Cheers! Cheers.
Ah...
This is the first Christmas with just the two of us.
Indeed.
Thank you for Kazuomi.
Why are you the one thanking me.
Ah... true. Yes.
You... Yes?
Are you not going to remarry?
It'd be a waste, you're still young.
As a woman let your fist flower and second flower bloom. Right?
I'll go get some free air.
So cold...
Everyone, thank you for these two years!
I'll graduate this year. Next year is...
"Tanaka Sachiko's the wearther is good"!
Please take care of me from now on!
Ishino-san is so skilled.
He did good with catching that weather lady job.
Alright!
Old man. Old man, let's go. Let's go home.
Good work. I'll leave!
Ichiko-chan! See you at the practise for New Year's.
It's Sawatari. Yes, yes. Bye then.
I count on you! Good work.
Good work, Ishino-san.
Can I have a moment? Yes.
Uhm...
In the past I wanted to help you in my own way.
As a senior of this world.
But Sakisaka Ryo, who you found, became a top actor
and you got Tadokoro Shinya even to Kouhaku.
There is nothing for me to do anymore.
That's...
I'm thinking of starting a new agency.
One like Hinde Pro.
We are rivals from now on.
And you're not changing your mind?
No matter how much I ask...?
Ishino-san...
I own you.
Thank you for the things you've done.
You're not going? To Singapore's Film Festival.
Eh? He invited you, didn't he?
Ah... Hm?
I have Tadokoro-san's job to take care of.
But he wanted to go with you.
I'm not his manager.
Not as a manager.
Eh? As a woman.
Ah...
You're so slow. You didn't realise?
So... here.
Yes.
Take care. You too.
Bye.
Just how stupid am I...
If there wasn't that, would you have gone with me?
Good morning.
Good morning! Nice to meet you!
This is amazing! This place is full of stars!
Of course.
It's not... I'll go look again!
Oi! Calm down! That's embarrassing.
And you're holding your guitar wrong!
Ah! I played you well.
He's nervous. Right.
Even so you came far. It's Kouhaku. Kouhaku.
Oh! I broke it! Can you fix it?
Ah! I forgot the spare strings home.
Sachiko-chan, can you go get them? Yes.
Tadokoro-san, give your home key. Ah...!
Here. Thanks.
It's on the chest on the right when you enter living room.
Okay. I'll go.
I count on you. Be careful.
Hello. Ah Reiko-chan.
Today I'm on the jury. So they said.
Here, a calender. Thank you.
Sawatari-san is so great.
To get Tadokoro-san this far.
Reiko-chan. Hm?
If it's okay, could I be...
your manager?
It's okay. Really?
But in the next life. Ne-next life?
Because of you I'm single forever in this world.
No... what.. Bye! What do you...
Reiko-chan, what... what!
What!?
Now it's only an hour until Kouhaku starts!
How are you feeling now, Hamasaka Mayumi-san?
I'm struck by this nervousness every time.
Ah! The admission card...
Wait! You can't pass if you don't have the admission card.
I'm from Hinode Promotion! I'm with Tadokoro Shinya!
Let me pass! Please! He needs these!
We can't let you pass!
She's taking long...
Ah! Ah this is Sacchan's...!
Incoming call from Sawatari-san! Eh!?
Oi Sawatari! Yes? Is that an admission card?
It can't be. No matter how...
It's Sachiko-chan's! Ah!
What do we do if she doesn't make it in time!
You sing without guitar... Idiot!
Tadokoro Shinya can't sing without guitar! I'll go look for her.
I'm late! You took so long.
Morning. Cheers for today. Eh? Uhm...
Daimon-san helped me at the entrance. Really?
Yes. Ah, here!
We're sorry for causing you trouble.
Thank you. You saved me.
No problem. Bye then.
And...
I'm thankful for making it so that
I could perform in Kouhaku this time.
I don't do anything if I think the music is bad.
What?
I felt spirit of rock in your song "The two".
I think that you are one of the rare singers who sing
Japanese rock not European rock.
Japanese rock...
I'm anticipating your performance today.
The 65th!
JBT Kouhaku Song Festival!
It started!
It's here! Finally!
The tension came all the way to me.
Good evening Japan and the world!
I'm Fukumori Nobuko the main host of Kouhaku Song Festival.
I'm Atarashi, the captain of white team!
I'm Asakura Karen, the captain of red team.
Please. Have a good night!
So then let's introduce our jury.
Kentarou-san, who is the MVP in the World Series
and Vegas Millions top batter!
And next is winner of Best Actress Award of Nice's International Film Festival,
and "Time in the Clouds" was hit this year,
actress Nakazato Reiko-san!
Canteen-san, this way! Hurry! This way!
"Next team red's first performer...
I can do! I can be!
We have lots of dreams!
We are Canteen! Nice to meet you!
Finally it started.
Ah, that's right!
Ryo-kun's Film Festival broadcasting is starting too.
Ryo-kun is appearing finally too!
Ichiko-chan. Ichiko-chan! It's Sawatari.
Yes, yes. I want to concentrate on Tadokoro-san's job.
Yes, yes.
Welcome to Singapore Film Festival. Please, this way.
Excuse me. Please standby.
Ah yes! Alright! Let's go!
Yes!
Ichiko-chan, look! Ryo-kun sat on his seat!
I'm working now.
We're pleased to work with you!
Cue to Karen-chan!
There were two dramas that Japanese were crazy about this year.
These dramas will compete each other here in JBT's Kouhaku.
"Okay? This is our secret."
Dreamy high school girl and an exchange student from Taiwan,
they're love and friendship made me want to cheer for them.
The huge hit school drama "Lovers' plan".
Among the numerous encounters and farewells
the heroine finds her destinied partner,
the sentimental "Twin souls".
So the producer and hit maker and
the creator of this project, Daimon Ryutaro-san.
What do you think?
The red team is Yamato TV and the white team is Douzai TV.
Normally or never would two dramas stand on the same stage
but this will be an unusual contest that goes beyond the TV stations.
So then let's have T-Dolls perform.
The theme song of drama "Lovers' plan", "Don't stop the beating"
Ai-chan!
She's doing so well. Really, she is.
"One minute until the song ends."
Here.
Finally. Ah.
Hey Sawatari. Yes.
In truth you wanted to go to Sakisaka.
I'm Tadokoro-san's manager.
Am I such a worthy singer to be with to this extend?
Of course.
Sawatari!
I'm grateful to you! It hurts...!
That was T-Dolls.
Next is white team's theme song of drama,
that depicted the reunion of souls, "Twin souls"
that was a huge hit.
"20 seconds!" We'll start the ascending.
Wait for a second! Let go! Let go!
Please let go! It's no good!
"8, 7, 6, 5 seconds" Please listen to
Tadokoro Shinya's "The two".
Ichiko-chan...
Oi, what's happening!
Ichiko-chan, here! It's Sawatari. I was shocked.
I was too.
Dad is amazing.
He is.
Ichiko-chan. It's Sawatari.
Ryo-kun's movie didn't get the award.
I see...
But Ryo-kun got the Best Leading Actor Award.
What? It's starting! His greeting!
No! I'm working now.
Manager's job is to put talents on the stage.
So... here.
I express my gratitude
to this movie's director, producer
and the co-star Toudou-san and also to the people involved.
This movie...
Tatoe ima uchuu no hate ni Even if now we get separated
hikisakareta to shite mo to the ends of universe
I am here now because of one woman.
She was my manager and...
she's the one who scouted me. I own her.
Will I be popular?
I'll do my best!
Stop it you two!
I want to dedicate this prize I received today
to that person far in Japan.
"Sawatari Ichiko-san."
I love you as a woman.
Ryo-kun, welcome back!
Congrats! Ryo-kun, congrats!
Ryo-kun, look here! Congrats on winning!
Ryo-kun!
Congrats! Ryo-kun, look here!
I love you! Congrats on winning!
Sakisaka-san, congratulations on winning the Best Leading Actor Award!
About your statement in the award ceremony.
Who is that woman? You're Sawatari Ichiko-san, right?
Are you two dating? Sakisaka-san, a word please...
Congrats. Sakisaka-san!
No, what, let go!
Hey, hey...!
What are you doing!
Let's go! Eh?
Oi! This way!
Tarinai mono nara tokku ni aru kara There's long since 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
Shinya-san! This way! Quickly!
Get on! Get on!
Get on!
Welcome back!
Thanks. Let's go!
OK!
Ato ippotte Just one more step
doredake kakkowarukutte we won't give up
Warawaretetatte akiramenai no matter how much they laugh at us, saying we're ungainly
Ato ippotte Just one more step
funbaru bokura no kokoro ga as our hearts hold their ground
So were are we going?
Anywere, right?
So then everyone,
let's meet again somewhere someday...
We love you, good luck!
