Good morning. Morning.
I did it.
Momo you are really good. Always feeling so good.
That's right!
Sunny days...
I am going to make a cup of tea.
I am going too.
But, it is unexpected that
Mr Hasakura actually got married with a woman who had eloped.
It's disgraceful.
To actually cry in front of him.
Airuton doesn't seem to be used to a woman's tears.
That time, Airuton gave me some encouragement.
What do you mean'?
Too exciting, almost for the existence of Airuton.
Same as the past.
I see.
Just treat it like crying in front of the first aid box.
The two of us... depending on each other...
I still can't sing it yet
You sang really well. Its great!
No problem. You will surely be famous.
You can definitely excel in this job.
Ino is really lucky.
The agent is really biased.
Should have given Minami and I some chances to work too.
Miss Minami.
Miss Minami, please bring her to the shooting scene.
She has an ad to shoot.
Introduce her to the editorial department.
Let her familiarize for a while. Must be friendly...
Why... all of a sudden... my work...
I don't think so.
It's great.
It is faultless.
Regardless of the notes, the rhythm,
it was flawless from beginning to end.
It was like an electronic keyboard
on the pre-program mode.
Can you end this tune and move on to the next one'?
I am sorry. I can't teach you this way.
Why?
Your way of playing...
Sorry, how should I put it...
feels like an interrogation.
It is like being interrogated.
Or should I say...
that it is like dropping the coins
into the piggy bank one by one.
I cannot put it in a nice way...
You may not know it yet
that once you stepped into the society
you are bound to come across things
which you think are stupid or meaningless.
Miss Takako.
Do you really like the piano?
You are really have nothing better to do.
Saying such meaningless words.
I have been playing according to the score.
Before the next competition, I must perfect the new melody.
I'll tell my mother. I want to change a teacher.
Long Vacation. Episode 3.
Look here.
Smile, smile.
How did it changed this way?
What's the use of looking at yourself smile.
Must look at the camera!
For example, the camera is at the front.
Do not hunch and bend your back.
Stick out your chest and suck in your stomach.
Look forward with confidence.
Regardless of how you shift your weight.
Regardless of the size of your movements.
Needs continuity, needs bold actions.
The back view must also be perfect.
Even your body language...
Let go of your hand, so bothersome.
The stiff woman in front of the camera is uninteresting, right?
A model must take note of her expression,
posture, changing of angles.
And the way you walk...
They say that I need not learn those.
All I need is to be natural.
Everything natural? But not establishing the ground work...
I did not come here on my own accord.
I was talent spotted. And told to do this no matter what.
Isn't it decided to do it'? Since decided you should...
You are so bothersome. Old woman!
What did you say'? Say it again.
Old woman!
And you all fought like that'?
And troubled the security?
Memo.
She doesn't reserve any energy.
And puts on an innocent looking mask.
Confirm is a girl wandering on the street.
Is that type. The skirt that is so long.
Calling people she don't like into the toilet.
That's right!
And more.
The hair is so black that is doesn't look natural.
Our company likes to find such people.
Momo, what you've said is true.
Same, Myself too.
Is it?
Correct.
Thanks for the effort. Thanks for the effort.
Teacher Sena, should be going back already.
Sorry.
Whose bag is this'?
Should be the student from the afternoon. Saito Takako.
Is that kid. She practice so hard on the piano.
I'll take care of it.
Really? Oh no, teacher, I'll pass you the keys.
I have to rush to the sales at the supermarket.
Sorry, have to trouble you.
This is so interesting.
Memo, stop fooling. The entrance is here.
Welcome.
Pink flowers.
Shinji.
Never thought that you would come.
My younger brother, Shinji.
Lying!
My junior, Momo.
I'm Memo
Congratulations.
Oh heavens, such gifts. Any drinks'?
What a scare. Is he really your younger brother'?
So handsome. Totally different from senior.
When you said that he is your younger brother.
I wanted to pinch my own face.
To see whether I'm dreaming.
So hot!
With senior and her brother, I will definitely come here often.
Sake with water.
Old fashion.
How are you? How are you?
You?
I want a beautiful cocktail.
Beautiful cocktail?
I want one too.
You are so noisy, sister.
So strict.
Do not extend your demon hands.
Why?
He may look cool. But his is very loyal to his lover.
Totally unable to see the surrounding people.
Unable to see.
He had eloped before.
Eloped?
During primary school.
Looks like acting.
Should be hoping for a innocent love.
What does it mean'?
Who bothers about him, his attitude is different.
Jobless, and already twenty five years old.
I also have nothing to do.
Perhaps getting married is better.
I stepped on a landmine'? Sorry.
Mr Hasakura also got married...
Stepped on another landmine'?
If you keep on stepping...
Live could be at stake, right?
In memories. Both of us, depended on each other.
I sing better than her.
No way no way.
Should be me who will become the freshman.
Using who's face'?
Your love... Hidden deep in my heart...
Senior, you sing so terribly.
Coming.
Coming. Coming...
You should also have a bit...
Then, I shall leave. The rest is up to you.
Went to have a drink?
What a mess!
What a mess?
After suffering a shock from the marriage.
Its her first day as a manager, but she fought with the model.
All news reported. I still have to wake up early tomorrow.
Wake up early? Momo has work? Got work, got work...
Sorry. She sometimes will have signs of becoming stupid.
Changing into a three year a old kid.
Just grab her head. Shake it around with force...
Senior, you are no longer a young lady.
Once over the age of twenty five.
You have to take care of yourself, understand'?
Yes!
Be good! I shall leave then.
Come again!
Excuse me.
Bye.
Bye bye.
In memories...
(Your bag is with me, please remember to take it back)
I've finished washing. Your turn.
Okay.
I wanted to say it earlier on...
Can you drink the water... Using the cup?
Oh, you have noticed'? Kissing... through a medium?
So cute!
Momo is back. Great!
Don't be scared. Just treat her like a old aunty.
Sorry to bother!
My husband has been under your care.
She is my student from the piano class.
Came to take what she had left behind in the classroom.
You pasted this...
Correct.
You came alone'?
Isn't it dangerous outside?
Didn't get lost'?
No chance.
Because you are alone. Want to come in for a drink?
But...
Come in, come in.
Please.
Ah, right.
Feel free, and enjoy the drink.
You have read quite a variety!
You read my stuff? How lousy!
I just wanted to know what books do the students read.
Please do not make decisions on your own.
And this 'Sharan-Q'.
Sharan-Q'
I like you, even when you are sleeping. Wasted...
Wasted... Its my favourite line.
Me too!
Great.
Me too...
I just borrowed it from my friend.
By listening to this won't your mother be angry?
Is it true?
Because this is not considered music.
Want to try playing it'? Try playing it for fun.
No problem?
Don't underestimate me, come.
Enough. I want to go home.
Your 'Sharan-Q'
I don't want to listen to it anymore.
Bye.
Miss Takako...
Faster.
Faster!
Miss Takako, music should be...
Music makes people anticipate and filled with hope.
Unlike mathematics, unlike chemistry.
No matter it is Chopin or 'Sharan-Q'.
Just be happy and play it. That would be enough.
If you aim is to be a great pianist.
I still have to tell you.
We are not machines.
But performers.
If you don't like the melody, don't like the piano.
It is not possible to become a good pianist.
What am I saying.
Is it... finished? Like a idiot...
It's okay. I can go home on my own.
Really?
Bye bye.
You forgot to lock the door again...
What are you doing'?
Basics rules to posing.
How memorable!
You are so serious.
What do you intend to do with it'?
To teach lzumi.
No matter what,
ultimately we must still start from the basics.
Senior, you are getting serious.
Morning! Morning
Can any one recommend a music teacher'?
Izumi is coming out with a CD.
It is better to practice her vocals.
Regarding this, there is no need.
I let lzumi follow someone else.
What do you mean'?
Yesterday, you were...
things seem to have been blown out of proportion.
Kids nowadays are not easy to please.
That's right.
Have you been fired'?
Yep.
Senior.
This is the application form
for the Chopin Music Competition.
I took a copy for you too.
Last time was an accident.
There will definitely be no problem this time round.
Thank you.
But I have no wish to enter any competition now.
Why?
I think now is the time for me to reorganize.
Its time to think, be it myself or piano.
It is also partly due to my students.
Isn't that a part time?
Although it is a part time, it is also a job.
You must always do your best for your job, right?
Please add a little more.
Sacked?
It is also better to let you know earlier.
You want me to be your agent
and yet you complain that I am easily agitated.
The company wasn't doing well recently.
My break is long from over.
What break'?
Didn't you say it yourself?
When things are not going well, treat it like a god sent break.
No need to be nervous.
A long holiday.
I am usually very focused when I am applying
nail polish on my fingernails and toenails.
And I calm down very quickly. Sena, don't you?
If its listening to a CD...
I always wondering...
What'?
About the second toe.
I hope it is not about that'?
Someone said that the more you feel your second toe,
the longer it feels.
Really?
Do you think this way too?
Yes!
I am so happy, so happy!
It has to be. Every time I touch this long toe
I really feel that it is growing.
But this is the one that was actually long.
You are so foolish.
Try and see, you touch it too... It is growing, it is growing...
This is the real long toe. Then what about this'?
Come, close your eyes. Woah, it is along toe.
I have always found it unimaginable since I was young.
This is the first time I came across
someone who feels the same as I do.
Till now, I have asked around thirty five people.
Every time, I was told off for being crazy.
There was no way to communicate. Then have you asked anyone else?
Have you been treated like a fool too'?
I have never thought about it.
This is a problem.
I lose myself when I get happy.
Oblivious to everyone who is around me.
Didn't you tell me that too'?
Can't tell others' feelings and state of mind.
No, that is...
That's why Hasakura married someone else.
Isn't that...
But I am grateful to you for eating half of that photograph.
No matter what,
my heart would have stopped beating if I saw his face.
It won't happen.
Is she a beauty?
You are better looking than her.
As I expected.
Thank you.
Let me introduce you to a good shop as an apology.
What apology?
For what happened at the noodle shop.
I happen to know a really cool shop.
Let ask Ryoko along. I want to apologise to her too.
Both of you will go together.
Senior, there is a shop's name here.
This is the place.
Good night. Please come in.
Senior.
How are you?
Sorry for what happened last time. It's alright.
This is my junior. She is Momo.
I am Momo.
Sorry for what happened last time.
Please take a seat.
Shinji.
Welcome.
Please help yourselves.
What'?
What? Eh?
But, it is so unexpected. We have only met once...
Oh, you are that...
I met you that time...
It is such a coincidence. It is like fate.
Hey, Memo.
They are so compatible. The ruff in and the lady.
Ah, look, look. The two of them are gazing at each other.
Sparks are flying. It is so hot.
Momo, your... Your...
What'? What did I drop?
Mr Sena, you seem so restless.
Are you having a stomachache'?
Why aren't you going up to play'?
I am not used to such situations.
He is so fast.
That man.
He made someone pregnant when he was in primary school.
Then he enticed and eloped with someone.
No one got pregnant.
But he eloped, right?
It is so cool!
That is so great, Ryoko. Really impressive.
It has been hard on you.
You weren't lying regarding your strength.
I never lie.
Ah! The two of you are indeed compatible.
Us?
No way! There isn't any chemistry between us at all.
It is as mismatch as pairing Julia Roberts up with a ruff in.
Totally incompatible.
Ah, sorry... l have to leave.
Why?
I have a sudden urge to see my 'dar'.
What... what 'dar"?
It is short for 'darling.
Everyone, excuse me.
Why'? Why, Momo... Why are you suddenly leaving'?
In a hurry to go get married I suppose.
Why the sudden...
Ever played the digital piano?
This... never.
But it was so well played.
Really?
Since we seldom come together,
let's find something to do together.
What should we do'?
Let's guess the names of the stations.
Let's play with him.
When did it start?
From kindergarten. Your finger are so long and slender.
You are like that since young...
Your finger techniques...
What are you doing'?
The game of guessing station names.
Have some more to drink, please hold on.
Staflon .
Apologies for being delayed.
I'll give you a lift. Sis, thanks.
Shinji...
I will go back on my own.
It is alright. Sena is her senior, let him do it.
Let Sena send...
Enough.
Why?
Taxi.
Let's go, Miss Ryoko!
Hurry up, Miss Ryoko.
Don't be shy.
I feel like having some noodles.
Good night.
I am full.
I am sorry for being the only one to be eating. It is alright.
I am starved. Don't be shy, have some biscuits.
Should be back soon.
I... should be leaving.
It is alright, no matter how late it is, my place...
That's right, your family would be worried.
If that's the case,
please send my regards to teacher when he comes back.
Yes, I will tell him.
You are back too late.
What happened'?
You tell me.
What'?
She is leaving Japan.
Why is that so?
I got the admission to the Julliard institute.
I have to stop what I am doing at the music studio.
Juillard.
I see.
This is great!
If its Julliard. There will be a lot of great teachers.
When are you leaving'?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow? That's a hurry.
She has been waiting for you.
Sorry.
Take a seat.
The biscuits are delicious, try them.
That's right.
I really have to leave.
Goodbye.
I will send you down.
Wait a minute.
Goodbye.
Didn't you bring your bicycle today'?
Mum has always forbidden me to ride one.
Just in case I hurt myself.
Really?
But teacher has told me that
it is better to be like everyone else.
Teacher'? You mean Sena?
His saying can make me play better.
That... You left 'Sharan-Q' behind.
So I wish to return the favour...
This is a CD of my favourite pianist.
Thank you, teacher.
Go for it!
Goodbye!
Sharan-Q's music is very suitable for piano recital.
But Sharan-Q'
and you are of total different styles.
Wishing to increase his interest in music but...
I believe that she will become an outstanding musician.
She will remain strong regardless of the situation.
Totally different from someone. She is really serious.
Someone? Who are you referring to, teacher Sena?
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Julliard has great teachers.
Aren't you a good teacher too'?
The best.
I am taking a bath.
What!
Who is it'?
It's 3 am!
Is it a monster'?
It is not funny.
Shinjiku.
Mitori.
Nandako.
Usoni.
Muitsu.
Nandako... Said before? Whatever, open the door.
Goodnight... goodnight.
Goodnight? It is already 3 am!
Didn't come back.
He didn't come back after he sent Miss Ryoko home.
Didn't come back...
