#22 Shameful Victor
Hey. What's that thing?
Huh? Oh, this scarf?
It's a present I received from a nice fan.
I was about to throw it away because it's not that warm,
but I noticed that it's Channel.
It's an expensive thing, but I got it for free!
Asshole.
It's irritating.
Good stuff! It tastes even better than usual.
Hey. What's that thing?
Huh? What's what?
Oh, these gloves? They're a present I received.
I was about to throw them away, but it's getting cold and...
I noticed that they're Mes-Her.
I can't get enough of this softness.
I bet they're made of top-quality leather!
And the angora is amazingly warm!
I did try to throw them away once, though.
Is it that cold?
It's cold!
Hey. What are those?
Huh? What's what?
Oh, these boots?
Well, I have a cold constitution, and my feet get cold so easily.
I received these as presents.
I think they're made of snakeskin. They're super warm.
I don't get why fans give us such expensive things.
They should spend that money on making their parents happy instead.
I did try to throw these away once, though.
It's irritating.
I can't stand it!
You guys should knock it off.
Huh?
What do you mean?
I've been quiet, but you two won't quit.
If it's that cold, you could turn on the heater! Bring it over!
But, Bro, it's not that cold.
Then take that fur off!
Bro, isn't it too hot in here?
Right. It sure is getting hot!
Damn! It's so hot!
Oh, this? It's a present I received!
Um, we didn't ask.
I found out that there are real diamonds on it!
And I guess this is made of mink fur. It feels so great on my skin!
What an expensive present I've got!
I did try to throw it away once, though!
Somehow, this victory... leaves a bad taste.
Let's take a moment to get one thing straight.
This is the story of these three guys.
#23 Hero
I'll show you what a real man is.
I wasn't born to be a human,
I was born to be a man!
He's so cool! Jin Takamura is always the best!
Right. Even men could fall for him.
Actually, I entered this world because I look up to Mr. Jin.
I want to be a cool man like him.
Nah, you're still far away from him.
I know! That's why I'll work hard from now on.
I don't know. Maybe he is just born that way.
In fact, I don't think I've ever seen him smile.
Exactly. That's his charm.
I bet he's just like that in his private life, too.
Right, you can't give off that vibe through acting skill alone.
But recently, he's not on screen at all.
Yeah, I wish he'd come back!
Men these days just don't have his machismo.
Man, he is the best. I wish I could meet him just once.
"Search for Unknown Downtown Tastes!"
Today's guests are actor Jin Takamura and the GOKUDOLS!
We wub you, every bunny!
Wow! It's actually him! My dream's come true!
It's such an honor to have you here.
It's not a big deal.
I like good food, so let's try some now.
So cool!
That wraps up the intro!
We'll continue shooting after a short break.
Mr. Takamura, thank you so much for coming on this lame local show.
Nah, it's a great show.
I really wanted this episode to be a special feature on you,
but those girls are regulars on this program.
I see.
We didn't know that.
You're not interested in idols, I suppose.
Not really. I'm not interested.
I knew it! There's no way Mr. Jin could be interested in idols!
He is the man!
Excuse me, Mr. Jin.
Yes.
I'm a big fan of yours.
Would you mind if I ask for your autograph?
Hey, what are you doing? Are you sucking up to him?
We've got enough idols who are "fans" of the big-shots!
Please don't get me wrong. I've liked him for a long time, for real.
Suzuki, I think you were out of line.
I'm sorry.
And, lady, don't forget that we're on location.
Since now is the time to work together as partners,
I'll give you an autograph after filming.
Come find me then.
Working together as partners? Wow! Mr. Jin is awesome!
I'm glad I became an idol!
I apologize for my rudeness.
Let's get back to filming!
Hmm, this is a traditional style of rice omelet.
Indeed, this is the aroma of downtown dining.
How nostalgic! This simple taste takes me back to my childhood.
Hey, owner, what a wonderful dish you make.
Cool! His every word is too cool!
OK, that's it for today. Thank you!
Mr. Takamura, thank you for your time today.
Thank you, too.
Oh, and didn't you ask me for an autograph?
Yes, I did!
If you don't mind, I'll go get the colored paper in my car.
Will you sign one for me? Thank you!
It's rare for a young lady to like a washed-up old actor.
No, that's not true.
I have the complete series of Man's Virtue. It's a bible to me.
I really like you.
Thank you. OK, here is my autograph.
But, you know... everybody sees me as a man in films,
and nobody ever sees who I truly am.
Mr. Jin, I like everything about you, including your true self.
Really? Then will you do me a favor now?
What is that naughty look? I've never seen him like this!
This is what he looks like when he smiles?
Wait a minute. Could this be...
Could he be trying to hit on me?
What should I do? I'm shocked to see him like this.
But I'm kind of happy to be the only one to see it.
He's been like a god to me, and he wants me.
Then... I'll willingly devote this body to the man I fell for!
Listen.
You can ask me to do anything.
I'm actually a huge fan of Chika's. Could you get her autograph for me?
I was so nervous that I couldn't even talk to her!
It would take some time for Mari to get her usual face back.
#24 The Japanese Dream
Yo, Inugane. My brother! Oh, yeah!
Yeah, I'm doing great.
Brother, I heard you started an interesting business.
My family wants to try it, too.
Help me out, will you? I'll give you lots of souvenirs in return.
I'd be happy to help a brother out.
I think that Japanese-girl idol groups would sell well here, too.
I'll send a guy over to you. Could you train him in your own way?
Oh, that's a piece of cake.
So, you've got a good one for that, huh?
Yeah! This guy screwed up pretty big.
As he's a good-looking guy, I'm positive that it will work.
If he doesn't listen to you, just kill him on the spot, brother.
Leave it to me, brother.
Whoa! Japan is awesome. Beautiful!
Nice to meet you, Boss.
I speak Japanese because my grandma is Japanese!
Are we friends?
Are we childhood friends?
Uh... No, we're not.
Then speak politely, asshole.
I'll rip off your dick and make you eat it.
Isn't he too hard on a foreigner like him?
As you must be tired today, let's talk about the details tomorrow.
GOKUDOLS TRAINING CAMP ROOM
I'd heard your boss is a hard-ass, but he actually is!
Did he say something about my dick? It doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, Japanese girls are so cute.
We'll sleep together in this room, right?
Why don't we have a foursome?
-Huh? -What?
Maybe this guy...
You haven't heard anything about us?
Sure I have. You're idols of Inugane Group, right?
You talk like a guy, though.
Is it some kind of slang?
Then, did your boss Steve tell you the purpose of your stay in Japan?
To receive training to be an artist!
I don't want to do such a stupid thing, but I'll be killed if I don't.
What else did my boss say? Hmm...
He said something about a big transformation to look forward to.
George, we can't have a foursome, but I'll let you touch my boobs.
Oh, really?
Enjoy it while you can.
Oh, Japanese girls are so hot!
Yay! I feel so refreshed. Good morning!
What are we gonna do today, Boss?
Go to Thailand.
Thailand? What?
Just go to Thailand, you shit.
Since it will take some time to recover from the surgery,
make use of it by learning better Japanese.
Boss, I don't follow you. Did you say... surgery?
Sexual reassignment surgery, you idiot. A sex change, OK?
This is nothing unusual.
It still doesn't sound usual to us!
What?
Wait, then these girls...
Go, now.
You say "what" too much, you fool.
Let's start the surgery.
Why don't we have a foursome?
#25 The Don and The Boss
Oh, Jesus.
He was such a happy guy.
Yo! OK!
Well, anyone would be like this if they were suddenly given a sex change.
This is some crazy shit!
We know how you feel. It's going to be hard for a while.
More like forever.
Hang in there.
What's the point? My life is over now.
I'm different from all of you.
I have nothing.
None of my family or friends are here.
I want to go back to the States, at least.
This is a nightmare! Jesus!
George, I know it's hard, but you need to accept it.
Of course, it's still tough for us,
but we felt like we were in hell at first, the same as you.
But as we've started making money,
we've come to realize it's not bad because we're useful to the group.
I'm sure you'll become useful to your mafia group.
Really? Could I ever become useful to my group this way?
Of course! Don't be pessimistic.
I bet Don Steve hasn't gone into this halfheartedly.
It's big business with a huge return.
You're right. Our Don is a perfect man.
He would have sent me here for a good reason.
Right, and that's the same with our boss.
They can be devils, but they're at the top because they are big-picture thinkers.
So, is Mr. Steve coming to Japan tomorrow?
Yes.
For starters, get the Don to like you.
It could help you get back home sooner.
OK. I'll do my best so that I can go back to my home country ASAP.
Look at you, George! You've totally changed!
Thank you, Don, for coming all the way here.
It's nothing. I wanted to see my brother Inugane, anyway.
I was right about you, my brother. You made him so damn cute.
Don't say that.
It wasn't me that made a great job of it, but Thailand!
I didn't know that Thailand could do such an amazing job, brother!
It is amazing indeed, my bastard brother!
These guys...
They seem to have a lot in common.
So, what's next?
Training is the first thing to do.
It will help him transform both his body and mind.
I see. And then what?
And then, brother,
you'll need to do a lot of work.
Set up an entertainment agency,
prepare a theater, and sell your idols to many people.
You're going to be very busy, brother.
Is there that much work to do?
Of course there is, brother.
Jeez...
What's wrong, Don? I'll do whatever I can, so don't worry.
Huh? Then, will you create the agency for me?
What? No, I can't do that.
Then, will you purchase the theater?
What? There is no way I have enough money for that.
Oh, God. Too much work.
Brother, I'll give him to you.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
Are you sure?
-Yeah. -Thanks!
That's it?
Great. Then, I'm going home, brother.
OK. Take care.
GOKUDOLS TRAINEE FIRST GEN: GEORGE / NOW: LINA
#26 Family Ties
Hey, everyone! We've got a new member.
She's Lina, a trainee from the States.
She's so cute!
Lina! Lina!
Hello. I'm Lina!
Love me, love me, Lina-myun!
Whoa! Her voice is so husky! It's so unexpected but great!
I'm crazy for you!
GOKUDOLS TRAINING CAMP ROOM
Hi. I'm Kinoshita, your manager and producer.
Nice to meet you.
I've never met an American girl before.
It's a great chance to get valuable knowledge for my research on girls!
How was your first time on stage?
How was it? Disgusting, of course!
What?
Don't tell me she's an American punk.
Why are all the girls in the GOKUDOLS abnormal?
All right, then.
Which part of the States are you from?
I'm from a poor neighborhood in an obscure part of New York. So what?
Poor neighborhood... She must have been through a lot.
Why do you want to be an idol in Japan?
Who said I want to be a fucking idol?
Hold on, I'm not following you.
If that's true, why are you trying to be an idol?
That's because...
It's for my family.
Family!
Hey, you...
She is doing this for her family.
I'm sorry for judging you before.
Is your family going through hard times?
Of course they are. To make things worse, we're losing brothers.
Losing brothers?
Sis, I'm starving. I don't think I can make it.
Is it that difficult for them to survive? The Japanese would find this unbelievable.
To tell you the truth, I've always heard...
that Americans are free spirits and don't have close-knit families.
Don't be stupid!
American families are as close-knit as Japanese families!
I was eventually abandoned by Father, but I still believe...
I can go back to my family if I work hard!
Amazing! American girls are so wonderful.
Besides, I have to pay for my past mistakes.
What did you do?
A brother died because of me!
Don't cry, sis. It's not your fault.
It's not your fault!
Huh? What do you know about it? It sure is my fault!
No, it's not your fault! You're amazing.
He must be supporting your idol career from heaven.
Why would he?
Familial love is great.
#27 GOKUDOLS Victim Support Group
Can you forgive me just this once? I'll do anything, on my life!
Become an idol, then.
It was hard to adjust to my new self, but I finally feel like a woman!
I'll do my best to become an idol!
You...
I forgive your embezzlement, but you're banned.
SHINJI TAKEMURA: BANNED FROM INUGANE GROUP DUE TO FAILED PLASTIC SURGERY
Come on. Why not, Kenny?
Let me touch your boobs just once.
If you like boobs so much,
go to Brazil tomorrow and get a pair of them yourself.
Enjoy touching your boobs forever.
Wait a minute, Boss. Please forgive me!
Shut up!
Be grateful for not getting your dick cut off!
TARO IWAMURA: FORCED TO GET A BOOB JOB FOR HAVING TROUBLE WITH GOKUDOLS
I've found out that there is a GOKUDOLS Victim Support Group.
Victim Support Group? What are you interested in that?
They've ruined our lives, so...
we'll make them pay.
However, to avoid being killed, we need to do it covertly.
That means we'll use the power of this group to do it.
I see. You're so smart, big bro.
That's enough.
And yet, your situation is no worse than mine.
You still have them, right?
Yes, I do.
I was only punished with a boob job, not a sex change.
What a bizarre punishment.
But it's equally cruel! No woman will appreciate this kind of body.
Damn it! Our lives are such a mess.
Look at me. I was dumped by my girlfriend of ten years.
Both my mind and body are wrecked.
I'm still only 32, but...
the only thing waiting for me are long, lonely years.
What's that look?
GOKUDOLS VICTIM SUPPORT GROUP 12TH MEETING
We're still the only members of the group, aren't we?
YUKO MURAKAMI: MOTHER OF MARI-OBSESSED HIROSHI, WHOSE FAMILY WAS DESTROYED
More people will join us soon... I guess.
TEPPEI OKAMOTO: THE CHICKEN KEEPER WHOSE 84-YEAR-OLD SHOP WAS CRUSHED
Are you sure?
Let's have faith.
By the way, how have you been?
I got divorced. My son lives with his father now.
I see.
I'm all alone now.
I don't know if I can survive like this.
Don't give up!
You have...
You have me! I'm also alone!
What?
Yu... Yuko...
Te... Teppei...
Yuko...
Excuse me.
Is this the GOKUDOLS Victim Support Group?
Yes. Welcome.
GOKUDOLS Victim Support Group, where everyone becomes happy.
