Here.
Excuse me.
Can you wrap this up for me too?
Okay.
Here.
I had a big presentation today.
And the plan that I submitted passed.
The commercial you made?
Yes, I think it will be on TV.
Awesome! That's impressive.
Congratulations.
It does look weird.
Should we change it back?
No.
It makes the room brighter.
But it's like I'm forcing it on you.
Thank you.
I'll go make something.
- What? - You sit here.
Well, Ms. Sonoda, we're done.
We'll come again.
I was transferred from the headquarters to work here.
My name is Ibuki Asahi.
Nice to meet you.
Mr. Ibuki.
Haven't I told you not to take care of Ms. Sonoda?
Have you?
She is in arrears with her payment,
so we are going to ask her to leave.
Mr. Ibuki.
That hurts.
Good morning.
Morning.
She's the one who found the dog.
I see.
That was you.
Thank you.
You've got something here.
This is Hinata.
We're seeing each other now.
Nice to meet you.
I was thinking of taking the dog for a walk.
We can't do that today.
That's fine.
Bye.
I'd better take a taxi.
I was kind of mean over there, wasn't I?
What?
You shouldn't have introduced me that way.
She likes someone else,
but he is married.
Isn't she a poor thing?
So, I'm just being nice for keeping her company.
The taxi is coming.
Don't ever say that again.
Well...
Both of us met...
during rough times in our lives.
In a way,
we were using each other to avoid feeling alone.
But now,
can you be exclusive to me only?
Let's date.
What do you say?
You tend to take things too seriously.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
It's here.
Are you coming?
No, I...
Okay.
Bye.
Where should I put the water?
Just put it there.
Okay.
How is his girlfriend like?
Ordinary.
I'm sorry.
But an unrequited love...
that last 50 years could be very precious.
Aunt Shizue.
Are you serious?
No, I'm just being sympathetic.
No.
I'm good.
(Love That Makes You Cry: Episode 3)
So cute, is it made in Italy?
It's from IKEA.
Does that bother you while you eat?
I wore it after thoughtful consideration.
They used to call me a fashionista.
My relatives suggested that I should be a designer.
Why do you think I'm rustic?
- Haruta! Is that Haruta? - Haruta!
- Long time no see. - Why don't you contact me lately?
I've been kind of busy.
Gosh, I called you last time.
No way, you did?
Do you quit being a DJ now?
Yes, I don't do that now.
I see.
Call me if there are any well-paid jobs again.
And let me do it too.
- Yes. - About that...
Please.
But I'm in the middle of a conversation now,
Let' s talk about that another time. Bye.
- I'll call you. - Bye.
- See you the next time. - Bye.
Where are we going? This one?
See, there are a lot of girls like you in Tokyo.
Follow me.
Haruta.
Is that girl a friend of yours?
Yes.
Want a macaron?
Yes, give me one.
Here you are.
It's delicious.
- You've got some on your mouth. - Really?
Help me wipe it off.
- Goodness. - It looks good on you, Miss.
I'll take this.
I'll take everything I'm wearing.
(39,800 yen including tax)
Let's go.
You had a good time, right?
What is the well-paid job the girls mentioned earlier?
You can't do that...
or Ren would get angry at me again.
(39,800 yen including tax)
No.
I don't want to take these off.
That looks great.
Doesn't it?
We're looking forward to having...
the children from the nursery school come here.
Hey, Sugihara.
Some people forgot their dentures in the chat room.
Do you know whose they are?
Well...
It's...
Osawa's, Koyama's, Takahashi's.
Thank you.
Not bad. Yes.
Do you want to try coloring it with a dark shade?
Yes?
It's Haruta.
If someone asks for your number, tell me.
All I have to do is singing karaoke?
Isn't it dangerous to be paid 100,000 yen just for singing?
No.
It's dangerous for common girls...
to meet with strangers for 3,000 yen.
But it's not dangerous for pretty girls to sing...
with company presidents for 10,000 yen.
What's that? The rules of Tokyo?
Although they may get handsy.
How about that? Are you going to do it?
Hello?
(Kiho, I got my salary.)
(Do you want to have dinner with me?)
(Sending)
(Melody of the Starry Sky)
Thank you.
(Good job)
- You... - I got on three stops ago.
Going home from work?
Yes, I just got off work.
(Good job)
Something is slipping out of your pocket.
Are you going that way?
That way.
Have a nice evening.
Have you walked the dog?
I'm going to.
Well then...
Bye.
- Sugihara. - Yes.
I'm rooting for you.
I've been...
rooting for you...
since then.
So...
Let's do our best!
You too, do your best!
I will.
Thanks for the meal.
He's such a bad singer.
He sure is.
Bye.
Going to the club?
- Let's go. - Go!
Please take us to the intersection.
Thank you.
Let me have some nori.
No way.
What did you say?
Hello?
It's me.
What are you doing?
You're always staring at your phone.
Who are you waiting for?
Here come the beads.
Move a little bit.
They're going to shoot here.
But we are...
It's the president.
Your dad is here.
Hello, everybody.
Hello, president.
Are you knitting?
Okay, please press here.
Okay, here you are.
Please press here.
It suits you.
Cute, isn't it?
Do your best.
My elder brother.
Although I call him that,
he is the lawful heir, while I'm the son of a mistress.
Okay, it's done.
Is that enough?
Yes, that's a wrap.
Thank you.
Don't treat me like an old man.
I can move my own chair at least.
Get rid of Ms. Sonoda tomorrow.
If we kick her out, no other place will take her in.
We are not a volunteer group.
We are not opening a nursing home for money either.
If you have a problem with that, you can always quit.
That's from the president.
The president put me in charge of this place.
Next is about the party.
It's changed to a speech by Mr. Katakura,
the member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.
But we've been preparing for the party.
Please tell them that this will be a remarkable speech.
They were looking forward to having the children here.
That's all.
That young master...
was going to be a journalist before.
It happens all the time.
Pretty words can't change anything.
Idiot.
No.
For real?
This kid.
What? Right. What?
That's my phone.
What?
Please give it back.
Stop doing that.
Kiho?
That Kiho?
Ren.
Are you dating a woman of her kind?
Who's Kiho?
Didn't we see a woman committing suicide during our last shipment?
This kid saved her and took her to a hospital, right?
Is it that Kiho?
Give it back.
You are a fool.
Women who cheat with married men are no good.
Why do you want that kind of whore?
Give it back.
What?
That hurts.
What are you doing?
Stop that. Here.
Pitiful.
Is that so?
Idiot.
I'm talking about you.
You are automatically connected to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
- Bye. - Wait.
Let me help you carry these.
What are these?
I was told to throw them away because they are useless.
But I couldn't.
The children of the nursery school were supposed to come visit us.
- So I want to bring these to them. - I see.
I can carry these myself, it's alright.
I...
I'll borrow the company's truck,
so that we can take these to the children now.
But...
The bus is here.
Let's go.
Hi, I called earlier, I'm Sugihara.
Hello.
Let me see.
These are gifts for you.
They are pretty.
Here, they are all yours.
It's great that they all seem very happy.
Yes.
Here, take it.
Thank you.
This is for you.
What is it?
That looks amazing. Did you make it yourself?
Yes.
It's delicious.
Sir, this is for you.
Can I eat it?
Yes.
Thank you.
You just eat paper.
I said it's delicious, the kid told me it's just paper.
What did they make with the paper you eat?
Fried shrimp.
- Fried shrimp? - Yes.
So, it was fried shrimp.
Let me check the GPS.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Done.
Is that?
The Ferris wheel?
What?
The Ferris wheel?
Yes.
So...
after we finish giving these out,
let's go ride it.
Okay.
What?
Don't you want to ride it?
I do.
It's bigger than I imagined.
It's super big.
It seems very exciting.
You will be screaming, Sugihara.
Let's go!
(Closed at 7:45pm today)
What a pity.
Yes, it is.
Planetarium?
Planetarium.
It's okay, just leave it.
Great.
It's this.
A concert?
Yes.
I see.
Can we listen to it?
Yes.
Are these taken?
A15 and A16.
- This is my first concert. - What?
Hush.
- Me too. - Really?
- You haven't been to any before? - No.
What about clubs?
Never been there.
Have you danced before?
I don't know how.
Do you know how to dance?
No.
The only dance I know till today is "The Alps, 10,000 feet high".
Is that a dance?
A dance?
No, it's not.
Is this how to do it?
Yes, that's right.
- Dance the Alpine dance - Dance the Alpine dance
- On the peak of the Alps - On the peak of the Alps
- 10,000 feet above the ground - 10,000 feet above the ground
We did it!
Why do you know this?
I'm not sure.
- Let's do it again. - Okay.
Ready?
- Dance the Alpine dance - Dance the Alpine dance
- On the peak of the Alps - On the peak of the Alps
- 10,000 feet above the ground - 10,000 feet above the ground
- La la la la la la la la la - La la la la la la la la la
- Hey! - Hey!
Hey.
Do this and this.
Yes, this and this.
Hush.
Or they will drive us away.
Okay.
Hey!
Hey.
I feel so happy.
So happy.
Me too.
This is the happiest day I have since I came to Tokyo.
Is the work hard?
No.
It's all right.
Really?
I used...
to take the train to work in the morning.
Once in a few days...
I took it once in a few days.
The broadcast said there was an accident.
That meant...
someone was injured, right?
Yes.
At that moment,
I heard...
an ordinary person near me...
click his tongue in annoyance,
because the train was going to be late for a few moments.
That sound,
in a way...
that I didn't understand...
Somehow...
It stirred an ineffable feeling inside me.
That thing,
or things like that,
happen every day...
in every situation.
However,
I've used up all my energy trying to make a living here.
I can't do anything about it,
so I pretend I didn't notice.
I've been here...
for six years.
And I still feel...
that I don't understand this place.
I always feel that way.
I can't explain why.
Sorry for talking nonsense.
Today,
I went out to mail something.
I found this next to the mailbox.
The flower bloomed.
Though it was the only one.
I want you to see it.
There's nothing else in the photo.
I wanted you to see it so I took the photo.
One day...
I'm going to return the truck, you'd better go home now.
I need to buy some dog food.
- The dog needs a name. - Yes.
This is yours.
The dog's name...
You are going to see it with your girlfriend, aren't you?
Yes, you are.
The dog's name...
Is she my girlfriend?
Isn't she?
Well, I guess so.
You love her, don't you?
She's kind...
and hardworking.
I respect her.
But that's not love.
Why?
I don't think that's love.
Although that doesn't matter.
She likes someone else.
They are together.
But it doesn't go well, so she's with me.
And I'm just...
seeking comforts.
Why?
You disappointed me.
- That's enough. - Why?
- Why? - You idiot.
Because I like you.
Moving Guy.
I like you.
Ren, it's been a while.
Here, hold this.
Come on.
I'm here.
Do you want some, Ren?
What happened?
Look, the people of this magazine took my photo today.
They said I have a good taste.
Next month...
Yes, I'll be on this page.
Isn't it great?
This shirt cost me 20,000 yen.
Twenty thousand yen for a shirt?
Where did you get the money?
I'm popular.
Don't get it wrong, I didn't do anything disgraceful.
It's just that the rich people...
like to compete with each other over the pretty girls they find.
I get paid 100,000 yen for singing karaoke,
while I can meet other pretty girls...
and learn from them how to dress.
What about the theater troupe?
It's okay, we are just singing and talking.
What about the theater troupe?
It's not going to work, I can't make any money from there.
Look.
I'll be on this.
This is not tabloid.
This is the magazine that every fashionable girl wants to be on.
Am I getting prettier?
Are you sure this is what you want?
I'm cold.
So cold. Gosh.
Why it's so cold here? Is your AC broken?
Let me use your bathroom, Ren.
Hello?
My name is Soda. Is Kiho...
No.
Is Hinata Kihoko all right?
She has gain consciousness.
She's having her EEG scan now.
Ms. Hinata was knocked down by a man.
She suffered a violent blow on her head.
Please wait here.
I'm sending you this message...
because I don't have the courage to call.
Ren.
I told you a lot of lies.
I do work at an advertising agency,
but what I do isn't what I told you.
I do office work.
I organize the roster,
collect invoices and sort them out.
No one will ask me to join a planning meeting.
They all call me,
"Ms. Shadow."
When I went to meet you,
I would change my clothes in the station toilet.
And put on make-up in front of the toilet mirror.
I would transform myself from Ms. Shadow to Ms. Sunshine.
My dad is an accountant...
and my mom is a housewife.
A classmate saw my parents smile and said,
"Your parents smile like a cartoon mouse."
I've never smiled in front of other people since then.
I had a boyfriend after I went to a university in Tokyo.
But he refused to introduce me to his friend.
The first night we slept together, all he told me was,
"I'm hungry, go buy me some sushi."
I thought my life would always be like that.
If I buy a new pen, I'll start thinking about the day...
it's going to stop functioning since the moment I buy it.
That's how I am.
I knew I can never be special to anyone.
I'd be better off beginning any relationship with that in mind.
Then I met my current lover.
This was a relationship without any hopes...
or expectations.
The first thing I'd do when I woke up...
was to give up on that day.
But it seemed like some parts of me...
didn't give up completely.
When you come to save me,
I wanted to hold you like that forever.
I was afraid of that you might find out about the real me,
so I lied.
I was happy that I could be a different me in front of you.
I bought curtains.
I was happy I could be Hinata Kihoko again.
I could smile,
from bottom of my heart, not looking like a mouse.
I knew our relationship would end one day.
I knew I would have to wake up...
from this dream one day.
Let's date.
But I decided to give up that thought.
Ren, I want to be with you.
I want to be your lover.
I want to write about my love to you...
with the new pen I've bought.
I'm going to break up with him now.
I won't change my clothes in the station toilet.
Maybe you'll be surprised to see the plain me.
But that's who I really am.
Okay.
Talk to you later.
Kiho.
Can you recognize it's me?
Kiho.
Stop here.
Push the bed inside.
Why?
What?
Which part of me isn't good enough?
Wait.
It's alright.
What do you know?
What? But I...
I know who you like.
Wouldn't it be nice if we can fall in love with people who love us.
That's...
the hardest thing on earth.
Is the Tokyo tower going to disappear?
Isn't that almost finished, the SkyTree?
This year?
They said next year.
I see.
So once the SkyTree is finished,
they'll tear down the Tokyo Tower?
How could they tear down an iron tower that big?
(Who took the husband's life?)
(Ibuki Asahi)
So cold.
That night,
I saw the first snow of that year.
I saw it alone.
(Next Episode)
Moving Guy, I'm sorry.
Are you mad for what I did?
I won't see him again.
We can be an ordinary lover, right?
Yes.
You want to do it so bad that you choose to disobey me?
I'm not your enemy.
You will always live like this.
You will be like me.
Give up.
Modeling is lucrative.
Help me.
Can you stay away from me?
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Don't you feel ashamed?
Poor thing.
Chasing the dream is hard.
Dream.
It's like a tangled web.
That's dream.
You go there first.
I have something to tell you.
