-Do you want to try to do it with me? -What...
A dream?
He's not here.
What should I do?
Let's get wild!
Eh? Ryo-chan!
The one you dated before? The band guy?
I got to meet Kaori again.
Hey, Ryo-chan...
You're living together with your girlfriend?
Yeah, we are.
Ah....
I screwed up.
Huh? Wait?
It was only us two remembering our past together.
Let's forget it! I forgot it!
I did it.
What?
I did it.
What did you do?
I did it, with the blond guy.
-What!? -What!?
Why?
Blond guy, do you mean that model?
Yes.
This is...
A serious 100%,
Alert number 4!
This is something that we use just us three,
an alarm when something related to men happens.
Alert number 4.
This is already the second one this year.
-So? -So?
-What are you going to do? -Are you going to date?
What? Is that a possibility?
Huh? Is it... not possible do date?
-What? -Well, what was it again?
-We...Well...
If that happened, isn't dating a possibility?
Between a man and a woman.
-Right? -Huh?
Uh... Well... How does it go...
Did the blond guy mention anything about dating?
-Not at all. -Didn't he say something like he likes you?
Nothing.
Wait a minute, let's rewind.
Okay.
Yesterday you fell asleep at our restaurant and
the blond guy piggybacked you all the way home right?
-What? Piggyback? -You don't remember, do you.
-Yes... -That's really kind.
And then you arrived at home, then what?
Yesterday I was feeling down because of work right?
Yeah, you lost your job to a younger girl right.
A young girl? Lost the job? What? What is that?
Kaori, let's not talk about that now.
-So? -So I whined a little...
and then kind of vented out my anger at him.
Damn it....
Jeez it's over, it's over, it's over!
Because I'm already finished as a woman.
Are you finished?
That's because... I have neither a man nor work.
A desert like woman is finished, of course.
Do you want to try it then?
Wh...What?
Do you want to try to do it with me?
-With me? -Try to do it?
-What! So straightforward! -No way!
You did well, Rinko!
-Really? -Yeah.
But when I woke up he wasn't there.
-What? -He didn't say anything?
With not even a trace behind.
But maybe you can wait and talk to him tonight?
But I don't even know his contact number.
-What? -What?
Moreover, I don't even know his name.
-Wasn't it KEY? -That's his stage name.
Ah, right.
What should I do? Specifically, the next step?
-What should she do? -Don't ask me!
In this group I'm the one with the least experience.
I'm going to the toilet.
This is bad, I've only been doing girl's night nonstop,
so I don't know what to do next!
First of all, why did he even do it with me?
Was it like a spontaneous thing? Or was he teasing?
Or could it be...
Perhaps...
I like you. From the first time I met you.
Rinko.
-No way. -Rinko-san!
Ah... You two...
Rinko-san you actually know the answer, don't you?
-What? -Why did he
embrace Rinko-san when there's no gain from it?
If it's Rinko-san, you should know the answer.
Because you're the one who's writing love stories!
Is that... perhaps... love?
No way!
-He just wanted sex! -He just wanted sex!
He just wanted sex. That's it.
-There's nothing more to that. -For a guy there are those kind of nights too.
I was used for sex.
If I'm being told something like that
I'm not going to be able to hold back!
What? They're gone?
Tokyo "What if" Women
Subtitles by MaRGa_ps, pinkandfluffy, sora_cantabile and Waoow @ d-addicts
By the way...
If I think about it, Rinko, there's no reason why you should be so down.
-What? -Well, for an example...
Even if he ran away after,
compared to nothing, isn't it better?
-Better... -Because,
the guy is a younger model you know.
Of course, it's not a "wow thank you" feeling, but...
I see...
No, I don't think it was that great to be thankful...
But she hasn't been with a guy for at least 4 years.
-If something happens, it's better than nothing. -I don't know...
I don't want to feel hurt at this point or have any bad memories.
-In that sense I rather have nothing. -That's also true.
If you say stuff like that, nooothing will happen,
and in a second the Tokyo Olympics will start!
-Well in that case, I'm ok with it. -Can't be...
Koyuki has always been very straightforward.
So I've been told a lot.
When she gets a boyfriend she breaks up really quickly.
Yes, yes that's really wasteful.
If I was Koyuki i'd go all the way to marriage.
She's good at cooking and seems like she would be a good mom.
I don't like the idea of winning a guy with cooking.
But people always say we should catch a man through the stomach?
Making a beef stew and bringing it over to the man's house. I don't want to be that woman.
There are still many of that kind of men who would be happy like that.
A man who likes beef stew, I've never heard of it.
In the first place, "the woman should cook"
and I don't like men who think like that.
-Yeah... -I cook at work,
and then I'm supposed to arrive home and cook some more? What a joke.
-That's true. -I see.
Ah, I need to go soon.
None of them is good enough.
The "Airi's ex-boyfriend" character is pretty important.
Yes it is. Someone young people will like
and someone who's popular and also fresh.
How about aiming for someone who is not an actor?
Ah! A celebrity or a musician...
-would be nice right? -That's right.
Ah! Mami-chan,
The Bumkey's music video, can you put it on right now?
Yes.
-Director, can you look at this for a second? -What?
Uhm... Him! He's a model, but what do you think?
-KEY-kun? He would really fit the role! -Right!
He's is good!
Yes! I think he's perfect for the role.
He's perfect.
Hey, you two, how long are you going to follow me?
-Where? Well, we're thinking about drinking... -Yeah. I'm off work today anyway.
-I'm in a drinking spirit～! -Eh? Did something happen to you too?
No no no... you know, just to relieve some stress.
But you know our restaurant is still not open.
-Master, please let us drink some. -I'm not a Master.
Make them for us, cocktails that'll make us forget our tears.
Is this a broken-hearted restaurant?
-Are you okay? -Ah! Ah!
-I'm sorry. -No problem.
Hey, isn't that...
if this was a manga for girls, the moment when they fall in love...
Thank you so much. Ah! It got dirty.
This is nothing.
No way. You have to clean it before it makes a stain.
-Our restaurant is just over there. Let's go. -What?
-Hurry up. -Ah, Ye..Yes.
Uh, that's not the start, no.
Excuse me, it should be fine now.
I will finish it really quickly. Or perhaps, you're in the middle of work?
No, I came from a business meeting,
but that's over and I was going home.
Well, in that case, please have one beer.
-What? -Yes, finally!
-But... -If you have time, please drink one.
As an apology.
-Why not? -She's the one who said it.
-Let's drink. -Ah...
In that case, I'll drink one if you insist.
Cheers!
-Thank you for the drink. -You're welcome.
-It's so good! -Oh! It's a good drink right.
-Mister, how old are you? -I'm 35 years old.
-It's perfect! -Nowadays the older guys are more attractive.
Even so, there's only younger guys out there.
Well I'm already an old man but you all are still young though.
No way, please drink some more.
Can we also have some light snacks please～?
Everything here is really tasty.
-Really... -Yes, please have some.
Wow! Thank you so much!
He's my type.
When I look closely both his face and style
are totally a perfect score in my strike zone.
What does this mean? Is it for real? Is it real!?
No, let's calm down.
I've been away from love for so long that my eyes are probably clouded.
This shark mackerel is really delicious!
Thank you.
Don't look... Don't look!
-I'll eat this! -Eat, eat!
Which one should I choose.
It's delicious!
The Oden is also delicious!
The way he suddenly says
the Oden is delicious, and the way he starts with eating the egg.
He's really my type.
Emergency Situation.
He's my type. That man.
Ah, please drink some.
-Wh..Wha..What are you going to do? -What should you do?
That's what I'm asking.
For now in 5 minutes put on some foundation, mascara and gloss!!
In the meantime we'll keep him here.
Understood.
-The food here is good right? -Yes.
Koyuki makes everything here.
-The person before? -Yes.
This business is run by Koyuki's father.
-Is that so? -Yes, Koyuki's.
Koyuki-san is a beautiful person.
Beauty!? Eh!?
A beautiful person!?
-What part?? -Specifically?
I like firm people like her.
-Fi...!? Really!?
A firm person is his type!?
-Koyuki! It might work!! -Koyuki! It might work!!
It might work?
What will? Why do they both say it at the same time?
He said that you are beautiful!
That "firm" people are his type!
Wh...Wha..What does that mean!?
-It has come. -It has!
The fated encounter!!
Fate? It happened?
All of a sudden? Just like that?
-Why are you talking by yourself? -Ah!
-Don't scare me! -Who has come?
What? Rinko and them.
-You guys don't get tired as usual, do you. -Ah, by the way Dad,
-I'll do the preparations. -Really, sorry!
-Everything is delicious. -Thank you very much.
Daamn... The power of a smile.
There is also a Liver dish, do you want to eat it?
Hooray! I love that dish.
Really...
Hooray? Hooray??
Damn it, that's really cute, this bastard!!
So, thank you for the food.
I caused you trouble and I also made you wait.
No, It was really good.
Thank you so much.
Is it okay to come again? Next time when the store is open.
Of course.
Is it...
okay if I ask your name?
It's Marui. Marui Yoshio.
Marui-san.
I'll be waiting for you.
-Then I might come tomorrow. -Anytime is fine.
I'll definitely come, Koyuki-san.
Then...
-You did it! Koyuki! -That's really fate.
It's too early to know.
-No no no! -No no no!
-What is she saying. -I don't know～.
It's embarrassing.
That's really nice Koyuki.
Ryo-chan!
Today's Ryo was freaking awesome!
-Really? -Yeah.
That's really nice Koyuki.
-Rinko-san! -Wai...!
Ah, hi.
-Good evening. -What a coincidence! Where are you going?
-I'm on my way home. -Really.
You live around here right Rinko-san.
Yeah...Ah. Are you two on a da...date?
Well, we finally finished work and thought about eating something.
Right now it's time to start shooting "Seasons of Love", so we're planning a lot.
"Seasons of Love" manuscript
was asked to be done by another scriptwriter.
Does it mean that I'm dropped?
-Mami-chan... -Ah, sorry...
You don't have to worry, I'm okay.
If you would like Rinko-san can also
-eat dinner? What do you think? -Yes, that's right!
No, It's fine! I've already eaten before coming here.
-Is that so. -Yes.
-Then, next time. -Yes.
-Good night. -Good night.
Let's go.
Just the three of us... If I went alone it would be...
It's going very well between those two.
And me in comparison...
If this was a manga story, right now here...
Welcome home.
This is reality...
Ah, by the way, it's almost time to pay the rent.
I found it!
This is bad! This is not a time to be sulking. I have to do something or else.
Yes, it's Kamata.
It's Hayasaka.
Rinko-san,
yesterday I didn't say it properly.
I'm really sorry for "Seasons of Love".
No, it's not a problem.
We'll properly pay you the work done until now.
Thank you very much.
-Ah, ehm! -Yes?
Is there any work I could do?
Work?
Yes.
Right now manuscripts are...
It doesn't have to be a manuscript.
I'm also okay with assistant work.
You know... Rinko-san.
Do you remember when you quit our company?
At that time I said "you can come back anytime".
-Thank you for all the hard work. -Thank you so much.
You can come back anytime.
I've decided to make scriptwritting my form of living, so...
so I'll never return to being an assistant.
Thank you for taking care of me.
When I saw you at that time, I thought that I really wanted to cheer you on.
But for me to say all of this, when I dropped you from the manuscript,
is a bit weird though.
I'm sorry. I was being weak...
or more like I was running away.
Well in that case, if I need help in writing
proposals and stuff, can I ask you?
I'll do it!
I was thinking of giving proposals for dramas for TV.
And I want you to write the proposals.
Yes.
We don't know yet if it'll be picked up or not.
Even if it was, at this point,
there's no garantee that Rinko-san will be asked to write the script for it.
It doesn't matter! I'm open for anything.
Let me write it please.
-Then I'm counting on you. -Yes.
-Oh, Rinko-chan thank you for today. -Thank you for today.
Why?
Hello.
He... Hello.
-Sorry for last time. -What?
Ah, no that's nothing to be sorry about.
I left without locking behind.
Eh, that?
Uhm....
You know...
About that, what did it mean?
What do you think about me?
I can't ask that!!
Why are you here?
I was called here. By producer Hayasaka-san.
-Hayasaka-san? -He asked me if I'm interested in acting.
So you are trying to become an actor?
-Not really. -"Not really" he says....
My management asked me to come.
Is that so.
And you. Did you get a new job?
What?
Ah, well, it's not really decided yet...
As I thought, you're not finished.
What?
Are you finished?
That's because I have neither a man nor work.
A desert like woman is finished of course.
You know...
-KEY-kun! -Rinko-san!
-Ah... -Ah that's right...
Rinko-san and KEY-kun knew each other.
Know each other...
We're asking KEY-kun to be the ex-boyfriend of the heroine
in the Seasons of Love drama.
Is that so... that role.
If KEY-kun stars in the drama it'll be really popular!
-Yeah, that's right. -It's going to be really awesome!
Aren't you a little bit too excited Mami-chan?
Then, let's go. The director is waiting upstairs.
-Yes. -I'll show you the way. It's over here.
-Then, I'm counting on you. -Ah, thank you so much.
Damn... In the end I couldn't ask anything.
I wonder If that man will come today to the bar...
That man?
There you go again, even though you perfectly know.
-No... -"I'll definitely come" is what he said.
-It might just have been out of courtesy. -That kind of sincere person
would never say something and not mean it. He'll definitely come.
-Do you think so...? -I do!
Speaking of that, isn't it rare for you to fall in love at first sight?
More than love at first sight...
don't you know just by looking at somebody,
that you might like that kind of person?
That's just that you like his face, right?
There is also that but there's more than that.
Like the behavior and the voice.
They way he talks or his figure and atmosphere while he's waiting?
There's a moment when your heart is caught.
I understand.
But you know, that itself is really awesome.
-What? -I mean,
it's rare to meet that kind of person.
Besides that, 35 years old. A perfect older man.
The probability of finding someone like that
is about the same as trying to see a shooting star in Tokyo.
Now that you say it, it's true.
Koyuki, you definitely can't let this chance go.
You need to seal this case in one strike.
But even if he comes to the restaurant, I don't know what his feelings are.
No, you'd be able to seal it directly.
I need to take this calmly, I don't want to rush and then fall.
To say something like that... When you already have feelings.
Where?
Because, how long has it been since the last time
Koyuki came to my store?
That's because I can't do my nails if I cook.
No, No. In this midwinter season,
you thought there would be a chance of showing your bare feet, right?
-It's nothing like that! -That's leeewd～
Let's stop talking about me. How is it going with you? Anything men-related?
Me? I'm...
There's nothing at all!
Hello.
-What happened, Rinko. -Yo!
Sorry, let me rest a little.
-Sure, but what happened? -Did something happen?
I coincidently met him.
-Who? -Don't tell me, blond guy?!?
Yeah...
-And? -And?
I couldn't ask anything.
Even though there were a lot of things I wanted to ask.
And he?
-Nothing special. -No, that's not good...
As expected, he was just playing around.
I mean he's a model you know.
He also said he's going to work for our company. He's totally popular.
In these cases there's usually nothing after.
But... Even if it's like that,
he wouldn't just do it with just anybody, right?
What?
It means you were in his strike zone.
-No... -Then, you mean if you're drunk,
you could do it with one of our regulars?
Eh, the drinking regulars?
No, no. That's of course impossible.
Look, no matter how drunk a person is,
they won't do it with someone who's not their type.
That's right, it's a human being.
Eh? Even if you say stuff like Aida Mitsuo...
Aida Mitsuo was a famous japanese poet.
-How about you? -What?
Not what he feels, but what you feel.
What do you think about him, Rinko?
-Do you like him? -Eh...
No, no... I wouldn't say I like him...
Then... why did you do it with him?
Well...
Why did I?
I will not know what my next move will be...
as long as I don't know what my own feelings are.
-Alright! -Dad, take this please!
Oh, Yaki Udon, alright.
Rinko definitely likes the blond guy.
Probably, since he's a younger man and a model,
she's playing it safe and not getting her hopes up.
I don't really get what that blond guy is thinking.
Ah! The other day I saw something!
-What? -He was visiting a grave.
The grave had the name "Yoko" in it.
-I wonder who it is. His mom perhaps? -Who knows.
But it seems it was like a special circumstance or something.
Eh... so that guy also has his own issues...
Welcome!
-Yama-chan, what happened? -I forgot my hat.
-Your hat, okay. -You'll leave your head behind.
-Then, good night! -Okay, be careful!
You tought it was Marui-san, didn't you?
Huh? Me? No, not at all...
No, look at the time, he's not coming.
Welcome!
-Blond guy. -Ryo-chan?!
-Over here, please. -Ah, ehm, Sir.
-Beer and roast giblets. -Beer, in a bottle, alright.
-Kaori! -Why?
Well, KEY said that here the roast giblets were good.
But I never thought I would find you here. As expected, it's destiny.
No it's not!
Besides, you have a really pretty model girlfriend already, right?
Hey, where's the bathroom?
Eh? There!
Thank you.
This guy, really. He does what he wants.
-Welcome. -Hi.
If you're here for Rinko, she's not here today.
-I didn't ask. -So you didn't come to see her...
Why would I.
-What are your intentions? -What do you want to do?
-What? -About Rinko!
You had sex with Rinko, didn't you?
I'll get right to the point:
what do you feel for Rinko?
Isn't this none of your business?
Of course it is! She's our friend.
Are you high schoolers?
Rinko is not the type of woman
who would have one night stands or sleep around, you know?
If you don't want to talk to us, please talk to her in person.
You won't know how it is...
since you're a popular young man, but...
But for us, when a really rare thing happens,
we get confused and don't know what to do.
If you don't have that intention with her and you don't say it,
the other party will get expectations for no reason!
-Yes, yes. -That...
-So we count on you for that. -We count on you.
Eh? what? what? what are you talking about?
-Ryo-chan, you shut up. -Scary!
Thank you.
This was so interesting.
This one's definitely suited for a dorama.
Idle-gossip...
Well, you guys, more than girl's night,
it's more like a idle-gossip with what if woman.
Idle-gossip?
I don't know anything about him.
And he doesn't know about me...
Even when we did that... not even knowing his name...
The blond guy is in our bar.
Alert number 4!!
The blond guy is in our bar.
Alert number 4!!
-Come here quick. -We'll stall him.
No, no, no... I mean...
Impossible. My heart is not ready.
You have things to talk about, right?
You have to talk to him.
I can't, I can't, so suddenly.
What should I do...
Rinko-san.
You guys again.
-Why are you not going? -Eh?
-This is a very simple question, but, Rinko-san,
why don't you try and make it happen with men yourself?
Well, that...
Because you're older?
I don't know if the other person likes me or not.
If you like him, no matter what he feels,
just go with your feelings and jump!
Well... I don't know if I like him... or not...
Don't tell me you're waiting for him to say he likes you,
-or say something revealing first? -Who do you think you are?
No! I'm not thinking that! But...
if he doesn't feel anything at all, it'll hurt...
More than feeling scared of falling in love... it's just that I'm dragging my feet.
You're a pain in the neck!
Then, I'll ask, what exactly do you want?
A man? Money? Stability? A happy family?
What the hell do you want!!!!
Eh... what I want?
What did I want?
What I want...
I know the answer.
But it was embarrassing, and I didn't want to admit to it,
so I hid it.
When it's about him...
everyday without a change for the better, just meeting a handsome guy is good enough,
even if we don't date, not going for him is good enough,
and if it was just a one night stand,
that something like that happened is good enough.
And just like that, I fooled myself counting "the good enoughs".
But in reality I know the truth.
No matter how many "good enoughs" I can count, my life...
isn't happy right now.
With just good enough situations,
there's one thing that won't happen.
What I want.
A very cliche word,
very obvious and simple.
I'm sorry to say, but that word probably
is "love".
To be honest at that moment, when I thought my hand could reach it,
it was just for a short moment, but I felt it.
And in that moment...
I was happy.
Ah, Rinko.
Sorry, we lost sight of him for a moment and he went home.
Sorry we couldn't stop him.
It's because Ryo-chan didn't help us stalling him.
Sir, the roast giblets were really good.
-Oh, I'm so glad! -He's useless!
He was gone before we could ask what his feelings were.
-When did he leave? -Just a little while ago.
-KEY love related stuff? -Yes, does he have a girlfriend?
Who knows? He doesn't talk about that much.
Don't tell me he doesn't like women?
No, that's not it. I've heard rumors from long ago.
What?
It seems he was dating a woman who was quite older than him.
And?
But it seems that person died.
At his age to have an experience like that...
poor him.
-So he was visiting a grave. -Right.
Ah! Sorry. Excuse me.
I guess it's not that easy to find him.
Ah... so in the end he didn't come...
Ah! I made it!
You didn't have to try that hard!
I made a promise.
That I would come today.
He's mature but innocent,
he's polite but also friendly.
Ehm... Koyuki-san.
Yes.
-Did you finish working? -Ah, yes.
If you want... can we go have a drink somewhere?
Yes.
This kind of man is my weakness.
-Don't get confused. -Eh?
I don't feel for you particularly anything...
I love you.
So you can love two people at the same time.
But I do love you.
But I don't.
I see...
Don't make that face!
This kind of face is my weakness.
Hi.
What is it?
Ah... there's something I wanted to ask.
What?
Ehm...
Tell me your name, I don't know it.
Kagitani.
Kagitani Haruki.
Kagitani. I'm...
Kamata Rinko. Right?
Yes.
It's so fun talking to you.
Do I have something in my face?
It seems that I like your face, so I don't get tired of looking at it.
-I'm in trouble... -Eh?
I feel like I could fall for you.
Is it okay if I do?
Yes.
Ah, no, it probably happened already.
I...
I'm married, is that okay?
Eh?
But we're separated right now.
What... so that's how it is...
I don't have any intentions of lying or hiding it.
But...
he said it clearly, he is honest.
If you don't like it, I'll give up.
On top of being an honest person,
he's giving me the choice of leaving. He's a kind person.
I thought of myself as
a very level-headed adult woman, but...
It seems it's not like that at all.
-No. -Eh?
Please don't give up.
Then...
Wait.
What?
I...
I wanted to have a conversation with you.
To ask why you did that with me...
why you always say hurtful things...
and to ask what are your feelings for me.
Ah, forget the last one.
That.
Earlier your friends asked the same thing.
Ah.
I bet you talked about doing it with me and had fun with your friends.
That's why you guys are no good.
Always on girl's night just you three,
daydreaming about this and that and making a fuss.
Clinging to other people.
If you do that, I'm the one on guard.
Why don't you come yourself and say it?
What do YOU feel?
You're thinking about saying something depending
on what I say first.
I cannot have feelings for a woman like that.
I...
can't love you.
I just wanted love.
Even so, it seems I made a mistake somehow.
I wonder where is the love that we're looking for.
How can we get our hands on it?
I don't think I can fight anymore.
We just did "girl's night out" in a tepid way,
and the rules of the battle of love
we completely forgot.
Love.
Where are you!
Even us "What if" woman,
we want love!!!
