There's something called chance in this world...
which can bring great surprises
For instance, the chance of winning 300 million yen
Winning one million playing roulette
Winning one million at the races
Or finding 100,000 yen by chance in the street
By chance, you score a home run
Meeting your dream girl in an arranged match
Maybe you can't figure it out or understand...
why these people are so lucky
But, did you know there's an even greater chance in life?
This happens through the heroic sacrifice of billions of sperm
who cannot find a partner
The chance that a sperm would meet an egg...
is one in 300 million multiplied by one in 300 million
For a certain man and woman...
Say it again
I think I'm expecting
What are you expecting?
You still don't understand
I mean my tummy...
Could it be...
I'm pregnant
The couple in this romance won a prize
The meeting of a man and woman is usually by chance
Neither is prepared for it
The setting sun is lovely
Not as lovely as your eyes
Careful
The god of love quietly descends tonight
They ardently desire a love nest
Hotel New Famy
-Just a minute -What is it?
Change it to 'love needs mutual encouragement'
-Too abstract -Just do it
Replay
What is it? I'm working
Are you joking? I can't put aside my work
What is it?
Really? 20 years old and full of passion?
No, I can't go to such a place no matter how fun it's going to be
Rush the work through the night? Too much for a 30-year-old chap
Even if there's a sexy girl, I can't go
I'm producing a great piece of work. I must give my all!
The adorable sea!
Hi there! I'm late
-I knew he'd come -One glance and I can see through him
To come here, I had to work two nights in a row
Ryunosuke has got his wish again
I'mpossible! We've met?
You can't remember?
I'm sorry. I can't have forgotten someone so pretty
Really?
The social gathering? Oh, the filming we did overseas!
I know, you're models
We're models!
She's my sister. Don't get any ideas about her
This one
Oh, it's her! I saw her when I went to your place
She was very young and looked quite square
I mean she has classical beauty. Her name is...
Yae, right?
It's Chiyo
Catch!
How could you miss it!
What's wrong with you guys? One more time
You're doing it on purpose. I'm exhausted
Fantastic!
Ouch!
-Something wrong with him? -Excited for no reason
Don't just sit there! Catch the ball
-Your boyfriend is in high spirits -He's always very energetic
-He doesn't have to work -Really?
He's self-employed. Well, he's no longer young
-I like him -You like him?
I'm not interested in tall dark guys who are not financially independent
I like a different type
-Throw the ball over -OK, catch
-Thanks -Way to go
She's good at seducing men
The man she goes after won't escape her clutches
Horrifying
-What? -Nothing
-What are you looking at? -Nothing
Only Ryunosuke is without a partner
-Impossible -Give up the idea
Why?
Handsome guy, get up
Renewed strength!
I see
What do you want to say to me?
I had a fight with the girls just now
Really?
I don't have a place to sleep tonight
What should we do?
That's fast
Where is that guy?
Where can he be?
Senior, want to drink some beer?
-Here -Is it soothing?
That's right. Very soothing. One more time
-Here? -So soothing
Lock the door at least
Strange, I heard the door closing
Maybe I heard wrong
What sort of relationship do we have?
Why?
You only seem to regard me as your personal masseur
-Hurts... -Bear with it
So boring
If I'm doing the shooting in this sort of atmosphere,
I'll arrange for a pretty girl to appear a short distance away
She's appeared
It's you. Are you alone?
The meeting of a man and woman is usually by chance
Neither is prepared for it
When you were little...
Hyakuyo, you've grown very pretty
I could hardly recognize you
-It's Chiyo -Oh, sorry
I didn't expect you to become so pretty
-Men's usual tactic -They're my heartfelt words
Really?
The moon is so lovely
Not as lovely as your eyes
There you go again sweet-talking
It's true
I'll give you a chance to say it to your heart's content tonight
In our lifetimes, how many people will we meet,
and who will we be with?
What?
Whenever I think of that,
I get rather emotional
-You have no such feelings? -I used to have them
I suppose if two people meet,
it must be through the hands of fate
In their previous lives, they were together?
Yes... Maybe
The storm of romance is going to blow
They ardently desire a love nest
Oh dear, what should I do? I haven't had...
What is it?
-That thing -That thing?
It's been late by a week. I'm so worried
Could it be... that you're...
Pregnant?
Such hard luck
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have gone to the seaside
-What are you going to do? -I don't know
-Unprepared for it? -No protection?
-You asked for it -Too risky
Usually, we realize the risk only when the problem arises
I used two
-Two? -You ate the forbidden fruit too?
Safety first. Women should protect themselves
You did it?
What a mess
That's unexpected
-She said it was a safe period -She'd say that since she wanted it
-You said that? -It really was the safe period
-Shotgun marriage? -Can that be possible?
I'm 38
No! I'm only in my twenties
I'm still young and have plenty of chances
My Prince Charming may appear one day
-I don't think so -Impossible
Stop daydreaming. Just get married
Give birth to the child and have a happy life
Have a kid? Heavy responsibility
Are you trying to find a way to escape responsibility?
Escape responsibility? I'm not such a person
If you do that, I'll stab you! You're a disgrace to men
That's right. I'll despise you
-Unfit to be a human being -Coward
Shut up. You're too much to gang up on me
It's not a foregone conclusion yet
She missed it this month, but may not be pregnant
Eitaro!
Let me remind you
If she's pregnant, marry her right away. This is part of life's journey
With a kid, your thinking will change. Kids are adorable!
I'm back
Uncle.... Play with us
Please don't bother me. I want to rest
All right, stop screaming
-Brother, you're back -Sorry to disturb you
Don't say that
-Mum, I've finished it -Good boy
So many kids. Can't stand it
Done!
Catch the fish
-Oops! -Poor plant
Pregnant?
Aki is pregnant? What are you going to do?
Why should I do anything?
-Getting married? -Don't know yet
-Oh! -How can you be so irresponsible?
-Irresponsible! -I don't have to be responsible
-Ryu, how can you say that? -It has nothing to do with me
I forbid you to say that!
I've completely failed to teach you the right values
How am I going to face your father?
Before you're married, you got the girl into trouble
And you dare to say you have nothing to do with it!
I'm going to tell your dad
I'm sorry, old man. I didn't guide your son properly
Grandma, when are you going to look for Grandpa?
Tomorrow?
It's not confirmed yet
We shouldn't leave Misato alone at home. She's so muddle-headed
It'll be fine. Look for it. It should be here
Right there
-This one -Pay for it
Chiyo, you pay for me
-You're buying it -I don't want him to know
Who did you see?
How do I use this? I've never used it before
He's the type I like. I can't let him know I'm buying this
Go, please
I'm Aki. Please record your message after the tone
Aki, it's Mum. I've called you several times
Call me back when you get my message
Hello!
-Is it Aki? -No, I'm Misato
You've taken good care of Chiyo. Thank you
Is Aki in?
She's gone to the pharmacy with Chiyo
Are they ill?
No, they went there to buy the pregnancy test...
What! Pregnant?
No, Aki is...
What has happened? Misato, who is pregnant?
I didn't say she's pregnant. I mean...
I'll call you back
You're back. That's quick
Negative
Great!
False alarm. We should have bought it earlier
I was so scared. What would I do if I was pregnant?
I didn't know it was so easy to use. The result showed so quickly
Hello, everyone! Hold this in your right hand and raise your hand
Good!
Very good, carry on
Who hired the one in the center?
It won't do. Get rid of her
-I go? You should tell her -How can you ask me to do your job?
-You're the director -Go!
You claim to have a way with women. You go
Handsome guy, thanks for the other day
Sorry, I can't recall where we've met
You're so forgetful
Strange, how could I forget someone so pretty?
You think I'm pretty? We met at the social gathering
Party of big bosom ladies
Pleased to meet you
Why is she here?
I remember now
-My name is Rina -Oh, Rina!
Over there. Please come here
Come over here. I have something to tell you
You're going to tell me your phone number?
I'll store it in my phone
Anything you say
Get ready! Take your position
Get ready, we can begin. Practice it once
Congratulations! You're pregnant
5 weeks? Doctor, have you made a mistake?
-You doubt my diagnosis? -No, I don't mean that
It's because...
I'll be honest with you
I only did it once
I never thought just once can make me pregnant
Just once? Terrific! You're so lucky
No... I never thought... I'm only 20
It makes a difference when you're young. Tell the father
I can't tell my dad
Interesting. I mean your husband
A bright future is right before you. You need only wait 9 months
-Way to go... -Doctor, can I...
Come with your husband on your next visit
I'll make sure you and your baby are safe
Do you smoke or drink?
You like to smoke and drink?
-No -Very good
Read this handbook
You may keep the ultrasound scan as remembrance
The baby is cute. You're so fortunate
-The moon is lovely -Not as lovely as your eyes
Could it be that day?
How could it happen?
It's so vexing!
God, what should I do?
What should I do?
-What's on your mind? -Nothing
-Concentrate -OK
Why ask me along for a drink? You each have a partner
It's you!
Hello... Let's go
Misato... They're gone
Hope they don't end up with a baby like Aki
It's confirmed she's pregnant?
This time, Aki really has to get married
Even if I want to get married, I can't...
-I mean my sister -Is there anyone else?
-My sis isn't pregnant -But you said she is
My sis isn't pregnant
-You look rather pale -I don't feel well
You're sick? Do you have a fever?
A slight fever. You're going to fall ill
Oh yes
I have a present for you. As cute as you, Hachiho
My name is Chiyo
Raise your glasses
To Aki and Eitaro for getting out of trouble. Let's celebrate!
Cheers!
I had a bad scare
Don't be greedy if you have a small stomach
Excuse me, I'd like a cup of Oolong tea
-You wanted to drink -I can't drink now
-Why not? -No reason
One napkin short
Thank you
I am so relieved. It's like recuperating from a serious illness
Her dad used to be a cop. He's very fierce
-He's retired -Is he so fierce?
-He forbids guys to call Aki -He'll blow his top
-Those guys are too scared to speak -He'll beat them up
-You're scared? -Speak for yourself
I'm not scared
If you're really pregnant, what will he do?
-He'll kill Eitaro -Really?
I'm not joking. He really will
Luckily, it's over. Aki isn't pregnant
-The problem is solved -We can drink to that again
The way you people talk! Is it so bad to get pregnant?
What's the matter?
Why are you celebrating because she's not pregnant?
-Well... -Isn't it the purpose of this feast?
You said the problem is solved because she isn't pregnant?
To think you'd say such a thing!
-Isn't the problem solved? -It's solved
What problem is there?
Your problem is solved, but some people...
Some people?
-Don't you know about Masako? -Who is Masako?
Masako, the singer?
No! Masako of the Imperial family
Why are you talking about her?
When it was known that Masako was with child,
not only the Imperial family but the public too got so excited
People cheered and celebrated the news
It's not an exaggeration to say the whole world is happy about it
Yet now, you're celebrating because she's not pregnant
Sit down. What's the matter with you?
I'm fine. I just don't like the way you're acting
Chiyo
Are you really all right?
Get her a dessert
-Why give her a dessert? -Because...
I don't want this
It looks stupid and isn't at all like me
What's wrong with Chiyo? Why did she lose her temper?
She's emotionally unstable
-She's got the curse? -What?
Give me her handbag. I'll go to her
Ryunosuke
-Going home by yourself? -Yes
How can you take a bus without money?
I was very happy that day
-Which day? -At the seaside
Weren't you happy? So only I felt that way
Tell me
Are you upset because I didn't call you?
I was busy with my work when I came back
I wanted to call but I couldn't find the time
I was looking forward to seeing you
There's something I have to tell you
What is it?
That day, the two of us...
It was a beautiful night
A bewitching moonlit night
Perhaps it was the ambience. I knew what I was doing
I was serious
I was serious at that moment
-Answer it -It's OK
Answer it. It's irritating
Right
I'm Rina. I'm so happy today
Oh, it's you. Sorry, I'm...
-Wait, Hyakuyo... -Wrong name!
Wait for me
I've told you my name isn't Juyo, Hyakuyo or Kazuyo!
Sorry
You don't have to apologize to me
Hyakuyo, can I see you again? Can I call your place?
Hyakuyo, look, this is for you
You keep calling my name wrong. I told you my name is Chiyo
So frustrating!
You're too much. Why did you hang up on me?
You're the one who's too much. Why call me at this time?
Don't you think Chiyo and Ryunosuke are behaving rather strangely?
They were suspicious of us. Didn't you notice?
Really?
I didn't sleep in the room that night
So they've got the wrong idea
Nothing happened between us
I don't blame Chiyo for losing her temper
Why?
We were celebrating so happily and neglected her
No wonder
Frankly, do you plan to get married?
Do you wish to?
Are you confident in passing the exam?
Have you considered quitting your job?
Drop the subject or we'll end up saying we should break up
Let's talk about something happy
Let's go drinking. I'm happy just being with you
That's the line that fooled me
It really looks like her
I know what I was doing. I was serious
I was serious at that moment
What's the matter with her?
What are you doing here?
Grandma says we can sleep here tonight
-Who were you talking about just now? -Woman!
What's this? Go to bed
-Uncle has a woman... -Go to bed!
I'm home
It's Mum. I'm looking for you urgently. Call me back soon
What can be so urgent?
Chiyo, have you called Mum?
She's inside. Why doesn't she answer me?
What's this? Looks like some haunting spirit
Is this the shot that upset you?
Chiyo, you're not...
Ryunosuke's baby!
When did it happen?
At the seaside?
The two of you had a one-night stand?
How did it happen?
-Sis, what should I do? -I don't know either
He was so cool and attractive. I wasn't playing around
He's your friend, and unlike the boys we meet in the streets
Don't you think so? It's different, isn't it?
Yes, it's different
Most of your boyfriends are frivolous
They pretend to be optimistic and are so naive
I've started working, and have grown up
It's normal that I should want to have a boyfriend
I want to get married, start a family and live a happy life
Maybe one day...
An even better and more handsome Prince Charming will show up
He rides the horse towards me
Listen, stop daydreaming. Sis is a good example
Since it's happened, seize Ryunosuke
He's not a bad guy, though sometimes rather flippant
He's a little lecherous, but it's better than being gay
He doesn't have much money sense
He spends on his car and gets into debt
I've never felt he has any good points,
but on the whole he's not bad
What will he think if he knows?
It's so vexing
Let me sound him out. He should take it very well
He's going to be a father. It's the most exciting and proudest thing...
that can happen to a guy. This is like striking the lottery
He's forgotten how scared he was
Tell me straight what the important matter is
Stop hemming and hawing. I'm very busy
This is a very terrible blow
What?
You'll be very shocked. I can understand that
No matter what happens, don't waver
Waver?
Yes, stay calm, and be a real guy
You may feel cheated, but women only believe in what they see
Just accept it. You have no other choice
Go along with the current and don't think too much
I'm going to study. Bye
Yes?
-Have you told him? -Straight to the point
Is that so?
I'll tell him now
There's something I forgot to tell you
What is it? Just say it
-It's... Chiyo is... -What's happened to Chiyo?
Chiyo is... preg...
That's all I can say. Give her a call
Told him
Why has it happened to me?
The magic bra doesn't seem to work. Have I lost my charm?
Do I have too much charm?
First time I have such a problem
Work... work
Look
Have you heard about it?
Are you referring to that?
Oh, that!
I still don't know
They didn't tell you?
Tell me what?
Before we come to the point, I'd like to ask you something
OK. What is it?
I've been thinking about it for a long time
It's like carrying something very heavy on my shoulders...
which I can't put down
What is it?
What do you think of me?
I think... you're not bad
Not bad? That's all?
That's not all of course
You're warm, friendly, and cute
That's all?
You're bubbly and adorable
It makes people feel like hugging you
-You've finished? -Yes
If... This is just a supposition
When it's happened between a man and woman,
they should keep in touch, have a candlelit dinner,
and enjoy themselves till late into the night
The woman says she's missed the last train
The guy says, 'Come to my place!'
-'No, I can't' -'I'll see you home'
'I don't wish to go home yet'
When they're home, they still miss each other
They e-mail to each other
When they meet again, they may have a new hairstyle
That's building a relationship. Don't you think so?
-That's building a relationship? -Yes
When I got home, I was busy with my work
Please be honest with me
You're not serious about me. It's just a one-night stand to you
Definitely not
Really?
Then I'll tell you
-I'm going to say it -Go ahead
I'm pregnant
Say it again
I said I'm pregnant
Who are you talking about?
I'm not joking
You're saying...
Here...
There... You are...
I'm pregnant
Really?
Did you go for a checkup?
Yes, I went to the obstetrician who advertises his service in magazines
I feel safer like this
Yes... What did the doctor say?
He congratulated us
Really?
-Excuse me -Yes?
Besides 'really', you have nothing else to say?
You're right
OK
Thanks
Why are you thanking me?
I mean...
Thank you for telling me
I'm glad you told me, baby
Chiyo... Chiyo
You're stupid. You really said 'thank you for telling me'?
I can't remember. I think I said it
Pull yourself together
I was badly frightened and my mind was a blank
I forgot what I said
I told you no matter what happened, never waver
I didn't know what you were saying. Why didn't you tell me directly?
How could I tell you? You can't blame me
What should I do?
How would I know? You understand now how I felt then?
It was like winning at roulette
I never thought this would happen to me
Life's changing fortunes. You were gloating when I was the victim
I didn't gloat
You can't go out with other women or attend social gatherings anymore
You can't work or drink as and when it pleases you
'I'm only 30 and have many girlfriends'
'Why has this happened to me?' Isn't that what you're thinking?
Get it off your chest. It'll make you feel better
It was a one in a trillion chance
Are you trying to shirk responsibility and disgrace us guy?
-What are you going to do? -Listen to me
That's what you said to me the other time
Yes, I did
There's no changing the situation now
What do you intend to do?
Don't ask me. This isn't your problem alone
The two of you should settle it together
You said this. Aki and I should settle it ourselves
Have you told him?
He told you to abort it?
I'm so disappointed. It's completely different from what I imagined
-You didn't see how he trembled -Chiyo, calm down
How can I calm down? I don't care anymore
I get hungry easily. Is it because I'm pregnant?
When I think of that, I...
Could it be him?
I'm Aki. Record your message after the tone
Old man, they're not in again
-What now? -We can't afford to worry about them
Listen... It could be...
Don't open it. I don't want to see him
-Open the door, it's me -It's you
This isn't your problem alone
The two of you should settle it together
I know that
I'm pregnant
I'm glad you told me, baby
Anybody in? It's me, Ryunosuke
-What is it? -Is Chiyo in?
I thought about it all night
I want to have a good talk with Chiyo
-Chiyo has gone to the hospital -The hospital!
It can't be
Go home. She kept me awake all night. I'm so tired!
She went to the hospital. Could she...
Hey, hang on!
No, I can't let her do it
The hospital
Hello... Aki, which hospital? Where is it?
Chiyo, wait for me
I'm coming. Wait for me
Chiyo!
Chiyo, wait up!
What's wrong?
Don't do it
Do what?
I thought about it all night after I went home
I was too shocked to react after you told me and didn't know what to say
But my mind's clear now
I thought about it on my way here
I think this is arranged by fate
So...
Go on
Keep the child. Bring it to this world
I'll do my part. We'll work on it together
Let me hug you
Forget it
Soothing?
Is it Chiyo? Have you met Ryunosuke?
Uncle!
