1
00:00:01,125 --> 00:00:03,958
Waking up from another dream, I open my wet eyelids

2
00:00:03,958 --> 00:00:07,333
I curse my helplessness from those far days which dreadfully remain

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,333
Will this despair that burns my body feed me someday?

4
00:00:10,333 --> 00:00:12,958
I keep burning myself from it as I crave adoration

5
00:00:12,958 --> 00:00:16,083
Your eyes with glittering stars in them

6
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:19,000
All dried up, poor thing, a lack of love?

7
00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:22,166
A dazzling light that saves all from loneliness

8
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:26,083
Is this shadow that falls only on me because of you?

9
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:28,458
You have given me a fatal flaw

10
00:00:28,458 --> 00:00:30,916
Selfish giant star, ruined lives

11
00:00:31,291 --> 00:00:34,791
Please, let me hear your voice

12
00:00:34,791 --> 00:00:37,458
Even these tangled and twisted wounds

13
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:43,583
You're the only one who gave them to me

14
00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:47,000
Please, keep your eyes on me

15
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,708
I'll weaponize even the pain carved by fate

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,208
So that it can light the regrets from sometime

17
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,208
Without you, I cannot live anymore

18
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:02,375
I would sacrifice anything for you

19
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:05,416
I can't get enough of your love

20
00:01:05,416 --> 00:01:08,333
What should I use to fill in what's missing?

21
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,416
Fatal, fatal, fatal love

22
00:01:11,625 --> 00:01:14,625
Fatal, fatal, fatal I

23
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:17,583
Fatal, fatal, fatal sorrow

24
00:01:17,583 --> 00:01:21,250
Keep your eyes on me, my dearest fatale!

25
00:01:25,625 --> 00:01:27,833
My dearest fatale

26
00:01:36,125 --> 00:01:39,875
Himekawa-san, you and I... share the same father.

27
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:44,875
So, would you tell me... about your dad?

28
00:01:45,083 --> 00:01:49,333
{\an8}Private DNA Test Report

29
00:01:45,084 --> 00:01:49,333
{\an8}Result

30
00:01:45,085 --> 00:01:49,333
It can be determined that there is a high

31
00:01:45,086 --> 00:01:49,333
possibility that the individuals are half-siblings

32
00:01:45,087 --> 00:01:49,333
who share the same biological father.

33
00:01:45,088 --> 00:01:49,291
Positive Probability:

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,250
"Half-siblings"...

35
00:01:50,125 --> 00:01:53,458
Well, that's... possible, I guess.

36
00:02:00,250 --> 00:02:02,458
This isn't the place to talk about it, though.

37
00:02:03,625 --> 00:02:06,500
Plus, I wanna put the old man to bed.

38
00:02:03,626 --> 00:02:06,500
Let's head to a new spot again.

39
00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:07,958
Where?

40
00:02:08,958 --> 00:02:09,916
Hmm...

41
00:02:11,708 --> 00:02:12,750
My place okay?

42
00:02:26,416 --> 00:02:30,958
Given you went as far as doing a DNA test,

43
00:02:26,417 --> 00:02:30,958
did you already have a hunch?

44
00:02:32,875 --> 00:02:34,666
Who's your mother, Hoshino?

45
00:02:34,666 --> 00:02:35,916
I can't tell you that.

46
00:02:37,083 --> 00:02:39,000
I see, she must be an entertainer.

47
00:02:39,791 --> 00:02:40,666
Same as me, huh?

48
00:02:43,541 --> 00:02:45,458
Have you heard of Airi Himekawa?

49
00:02:45,708 --> 00:02:50,416
I have. She was the female lead in a morning

50
00:02:45,709 --> 00:02:50,416
drama serial. It's a pretty old show, though.

51
00:02:50,833 --> 00:02:52,083
Ah, here it is.

52
00:02:52,958 --> 00:02:54,708
This happened when I was five or so.

53
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:58,375
{\an8}Bodies of Married Couple Found in Apparent Double Suicide?

54
00:02:54,709 --> 00:02:58,375
{\an8}At a cottage in Karuizawa, a man and a

55
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:58,375
woman showing no vitals signs were found.

56
00:02:54,711 --> 00:02:58,375
They were taken to a hospital where their

57
00:02:54,712 --> 00:02:58,375
deaths were confirmed. According to a

58
00:02:54,713 --> 00:02:58,375
statement from the Nagano Prefectural Police,

59
00:02:54,714 --> 00:02:58,375
the deceased are actress Airi Himekawa

60
00:02:54,715 --> 00:02:58,375
and fellow actor Seijuurou Uehara.

61
00:02:55,541 --> 00:02:58,416
This is my mom - she died in

62
00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:58,416
a lovers' suicide with her husband.

63
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:01,916
Your father is Seijuurou Uehara.

64
00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:04,083
He was a struggling actor.

65
00:03:07,583 --> 00:03:08,875
A double suicide?

66
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:12,541
He's already dead?

67
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:22,625
How old are you again? Seventeen?

68
00:03:23,041 --> 00:03:25,166
Our father was already married before you were born.

69
00:03:26,375 --> 00:03:28,958
Seems he had a thing for

70
00:03:26,376 --> 00:03:28,958
picking up talented entertainers.

71
00:03:30,083 --> 00:03:37,291
Maybe he was trying to mask his complex about

72
00:03:30,084 --> 00:03:37,291
being untalented by sleeping with talented women.

73
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,916
No one knows the real reason

74
00:03:38,501 --> 00:03:41,916
he took part in a double suicide.

75
00:03:42,875 --> 00:03:45,208
But I can venture a guess.

76
00:03:46,416 --> 00:03:49,875
Even as a child, I also hated our dad.

77
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:53,750
So that's why your stage name

78
00:03:50,709 --> 00:03:53,750
is your mother's family name?

79
00:03:54,125 --> 00:03:57,291
Yep, my real name is Taiki Uehara.

80
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:01,625
Unfortunately, it seems like being

81
00:03:58,459 --> 00:04:01,625
a womanizer runs in the family.

82
00:04:01,958 --> 00:04:05,750
Seeing you seduce Arima and Kurokawa makes me despair.

83
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:07,958
I'm doing no such thing.

84
00:04:07,958 --> 00:04:08,750
Nope, you are.

85
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:13,458
Hurry and make up your mind. It'll be too late

86
00:04:09,376 --> 00:04:13,458
after you're in a lovers' suicide like our old man.

87
00:04:13,958 --> 00:04:15,250
That's not funny.

88
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,750
Anything else you wanna ask?

89
00:04:16,501 --> 00:04:19,750
I'm willing to answer any questions.

90
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:25,500
No, there isn't.

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,333
Then, let's start drinking again.

92
00:04:28,083 --> 00:04:34,541
This is a strange feeling. Even if we're just half-siblings,

93
00:04:28,084 --> 00:04:34,541
I suddenly find myself with a blood relative.

94
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,833
Plus, you're an actor, too.

95
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,000
It's funny.

96
00:04:39,708 --> 00:04:43,833
Don't go callin' me "Big Bro," though. That'd be gross.

97
00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:44,875
I won't.

98
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:52,250
Hey, Aqua! Staying out all night is what delinquents do!

99
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:53,708
I can't believe this!

100
00:04:55,541 --> 00:04:57,000
Hm, what is it?

101
00:04:57,958 --> 00:04:58,625
Nothing.

102
00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:03,791
I just stayed over at Himekawa's is all.

103
00:04:59,834 --> 00:05:03,791
I didn't get up to any funny business.

104
00:05:03,791 --> 00:05:06,041
Oh, the guy who plays Blade.

105
00:05:06,541 --> 00:05:10,333
So it was a male bonding thing - I guess that's fine.

106
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:13,875
I'll introduce you to him one of these days.

107
00:05:14,208 --> 00:05:16,375
Oh? You'd do that? But why?

108
00:05:18,625 --> 00:05:20,083
I've got one weird brother...

109
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:24,291
Our father died long ago.

110
00:05:27,375 --> 00:05:30,000
Ai's enemy is no longer around.

111
00:05:30,916 --> 00:05:33,208
So, what do I do now?

112
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:34,625
What of me?

113
00:05:36,291 --> 00:05:37,458
What of revenge?

114
00:05:41,208 --> 00:05:43,083
{\an8}Arima

115
00:05:45,166 --> 00:05:45,625
Hello.

116
00:05:45,625 --> 00:05:48,416
Where'd you disappear to during the drinking party?!

117
00:05:48,625 --> 00:05:50,250
Akane vanished, too!

118
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,000
Don't tell me you...!

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,083
It's not like that. I went to another place

120
00:05:52,001 --> 00:05:56,083
with the director and Himekawa is all.

121
00:05:56,458 --> 00:05:58,250
Oh... is that right?

122
00:05:58,583 --> 00:06:01,458
Jeez! Don't do misleading stuff like that, idiot!

123
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,500
You big dummy! Good night!

124
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,500
Did you make it home safely?

125
00:06:17,416 --> 00:06:19,625
{\an8}Got it.

126
00:06:17,417 --> 00:06:19,625
{\an8}I'll make that work.

127
00:06:17,418 --> 00:06:19,625
{\an8}Did you make

128
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,625
{\an8}it home safely?

129
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:19,625
Minors absolutely

130
00:06:17,421 --> 00:06:19,625
can't drink, okay?

131
00:06:17,422 --> 00:06:19,625
Don't drink even if

132
00:06:17,423 --> 00:06:19,625
adults ask you to, got it?

133
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,625
Minors absolutely can't drink, okay?

134
00:06:19,666 --> 00:06:22,541
{\an8}Did you make

135
00:06:19,667 --> 00:06:22,541
{\an8}it home safely?

136
00:06:19,668 --> 00:06:22,541
Minors absolutely

137
00:06:19,669 --> 00:06:22,541
can't drink, okay?

138
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:22,541
Don't drink even if

139
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:22,541
adults ask you to, got it?

140
00:06:22,083 --> 00:06:24,708
Don't drink even if adults ask you to, got it?

141
00:06:22,583 --> 00:06:24,833
{\an8}Minors absolutely

142
00:06:22,584 --> 00:06:24,833
{\an8}can't drink, okay?

143
00:06:22,585 --> 00:06:24,833
Don't drink even if

144
00:06:22,586 --> 00:06:24,833
adults ask you to, got it?

145
00:06:26,541 --> 00:06:28,333
Man, those girls...

146
00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:32,708
Is it alright?

147
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:36,625
Is it okay now?

148
00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:40,166
For me to be free...

149
00:06:41,958 --> 00:06:45,416
and live happily?

150
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:56,500
Want some breakfast, Aqua?

151
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,375
I'm making sunny-side-up eggs.

152
00:07:08,041 --> 00:07:09,750
Yeah, sure.

153
00:07:11,041 --> 00:07:12,833

We're about to reach 20,000 subscribers on YouTube.

156
00:07:17,166 --> 00:07:20,458
Oh, I see... That's all, huh?

157
00:07:20,458 --> 00:07:25,125
We still need to work a lot harder.

158
00:07:20,459 --> 00:07:25,125
One million subs is still a long way off.

159
00:07:25,958 --> 00:07:27,916
Can't you praise me a little?!

160
00:07:28,250 --> 00:07:33,708
We're talking 20,000 people! I deserve some credit

161
00:07:28,251 --> 00:07:33,708
after using every trick in the book to grow our channel!

162
00:07:33,708 --> 00:07:36,541
Huh? I mean, it's just 20,000 people.

163
00:07:36,541 --> 00:07:39,541
Jeez! Don't you get how amazing 20,000 subs is?!

164
00:07:40,208 --> 00:07:45,000
Listen up. They say there are

165
00:07:40,209 --> 00:07:45,000
300,000 channels within Japan alone!

Among them, 75% have fewer than 1,000 subs...

00:07:45,792 --> 00:07:50,291

even the Middle Ages to shame,

00:07:53,709 --> 00:07:56,375
top monopolizes all the wealth!

183
00:07:56,875 --> 00:08:02,166
On the other hand, we're making inroads

184
00:07:56,876 --> 00:08:02,166
into the top 10%! How impressive is that?!

185
00:08:00,416 --> 00:08:03,583
{\an8}Earnings Disparity

186
00:08:00,417 --> 00:08:03,583
{\an8}Within this range,

187
00:08:00,418 --> 00:08:03,583
{\an8}the amount of earnings

188
00:08:00,419 --> 00:08:03,583
{\an8}is almost the same.

189
00:08:03,833 --> 00:08:08,125
Don't spout off about one million subs

190
00:08:03,834 --> 00:08:08,125
when you're ignorant of all that, damn kids!

191
00:08:08,375 --> 00:08:12,500
That's a massive hurdle cleared

192
00:08:08,376 --> 00:08:12,500
by only 0.1% of channels!

193
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:16,333
It's a peak that's reached atop countless corpses!

194
00:08:21,416 --> 00:08:25,375
Still, this month's earnings are

195
00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:25,375
a little over 100,000 yen, right?

196
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:25,958
Ah!

197
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:30,333
After taking out the agency's share,

198
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:30,333
paying the video editor,

199
00:08:30,333 --> 00:08:34,375
and divvying it up between the members,

200
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:34,375
it's basically pocket money.

201
00:08:34,625 --> 00:08:37,083
Wouldn't it be better to just get part-time jobs?

202
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:39,166
Well, that's the current situation.

203
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:42,708
This is probably how it's gonna be until we make it big.

204
00:08:43,166 --> 00:08:46,750
For now, B Komachi Channel's

205
00:08:43,167 --> 00:08:46,750
financial situation isn't great.

206
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:49,208
We've gotta use all the measures available to us.

207
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,250
And so, today we'll be filming a room tour video!

208
00:08:55,541 --> 00:08:57,291
"Room tour video"?!

209
00:08:57,666 --> 00:09:01,291
Oh, I've heard of those - you show off

210
00:08:57,667 --> 00:09:01,291
your own room to viewers.

211
00:08:59,291 --> 00:09:11,208
{\an8}House with 1.5 Million Yen Rent

212
00:08:59,292 --> 00:09:11,208
{\an8}Living Alone for the First Time

213
00:08:59,293 --> 00:09:11,208
Room Reveal!

214
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:02,958
There're lots of those videos!

215
00:09:02,958 --> 00:09:07,083
I could never! Who on earth enjoys

216
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:07,083
publicly exposing their room like that?!

217
00:09:07,083 --> 00:09:11,250
Even if you're out of content, it's all over

218
00:09:07,084 --> 00:09:11,250
once you start selling off your private life!

219
00:09:11,416 --> 00:09:13,416
C'mon, let's do it.

220
00:09:14,291 --> 00:09:16,791
If we shoot a room tour video...

221
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:20,166
personal belongings we show

222
00:09:17,792 --> 00:09:20,166
can be claimed as expenses.

223
00:09:20,375 --> 00:09:21,750
Let's get filming!

224
00:09:23,041 --> 00:09:28,666
Alright! This is a newly-released Chl** handbag.

225
00:09:23,042 --> 00:09:28,666
It cost about 100,000 yen.

226
00:09:29,125 --> 00:09:32,541
I bought this thinking I would stream video games,

227
00:09:32,875 --> 00:09:35,791
but I haven't used this water-cooled gaming PC at all.

228
00:09:35,791 --> 00:09:37,916
I think it was about 300,000 yen.

229
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:41,208
This is a Her*** ***ler ***** Chair...

230
00:09:41,583 --> 00:09:44,125
You're buying some expensive stuff.

231
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,791
I'm using my own money, so what's the issue?!

232
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,666
To be a first-rate entertainer, you need

233
00:09:47,001 --> 00:09:51,666
to surround yourself with first-class goods!

234
00:09:51,666 --> 00:09:54,875
In this world, it's all over if

235
00:09:51,667 --> 00:09:54,875
you're thought of as a cheap girl!

236
00:09:55,041 --> 00:09:58,583
Kana-chan seems to demand

237
00:09:55,042 --> 00:09:58,583
a surprisingly expensive lifestyle...

238
00:09:58,583 --> 00:10:02,583
{\an8}Let's take a taxi.

239
00:09:58,584 --> 00:10:02,416
Let's take a taxi. But definitely not a privately owned one.

240
00:09:59,416 --> 00:10:01,500
Privately Owned

241
00:10:00,583 --> 00:10:02,583
{\an8}But definitely not

242
00:10:00,584 --> 00:10:02,583
a privately owned one.

243
00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:02,583
Major Company

244
00:10:02,958 --> 00:10:07,458
Still, for someone who claims to be a struggling actress,

245
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:07,458
you live in a pretty nice apartment.

246
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:11,125
Well, I've got savings,

247
00:10:07,751 --> 00:10:11,125
and I manage my money effectively.

248
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:15,500
All entertainers should live in apartments

249
00:10:11,501 --> 00:10:15,500
with a two-fold automatic security lock system.

250
00:10:15,916 --> 00:10:20,125
In the end, the scariest thing about

251
00:10:15,917 --> 00:10:20,125
this line of work is weirdo fans.

252
00:10:20,125 --> 00:10:21,833
Sure, if you've got the money.

253
00:10:22,291 --> 00:10:28,166
Anyway, I learned a good tax-saving tip.

254
00:10:22,292 --> 00:10:28,166
When I buy a car, let's definitely make a video about it.

255
00:10:28,583 --> 00:10:29,791
Tax-saving?

256
00:10:29,791 --> 00:10:33,166
YouTubers often film their pricey purchases, right?

257
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:37,625
They mostly make those videos in order to claim

258
00:10:33,584 --> 00:10:37,625
whatever they bought as an expense.

259
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:39,541
What an unpleasant reality.

260
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:42,916
I'll help out if you also wanna

261
00:10:39,751 --> 00:10:42,916
film a room tour video, Ruby.

262
00:10:43,416 --> 00:10:46,916
Hmm... But I don't buy any expensive stuff...

263
00:10:47,416 --> 00:10:51,958
With that stance, you'll be the one who's sorry

264
00:10:47,417 --> 00:10:51,958
when your income tax return comes around.

265
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:56,125
You learn just how harsh taxes

266
00:10:52,209 --> 00:10:56,125
are once you become an adult.

267
00:10:57,041 --> 00:10:58,291
I'll think about it.

268
00:10:58,916 --> 00:11:03,000
Hey! Next, can you film around my kitchen

269
00:10:58,917 --> 00:11:03,000
and another room I've got?

270
00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:04,791
Sure thing.

271
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:10,791
Ruby's Room

272
00:11:21,416 --> 00:11:23,458
Should I take these down?

273
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,583
The fact that I'm her child is a secret

274
00:11:25,001 --> 00:11:29,583
I plan on taking to the grave.

275
00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:35,125
Nevertheless, right at my very core, Ai is always present.

276
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:39,291
Is it alright for me to hide that?

277
00:11:40,750 --> 00:11:43,000
As an idol, the right thing to do...

278
00:11:44,708 --> 00:11:47,250
I wonder what Sensei would say?

279
00:11:48,958 --> 00:11:53,833
I bet he'd just blurt out something like,

280
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:53,833
"Do whatever you want."

281
00:11:55,333 --> 00:11:56,208
Sensei...

282
00:11:59,625 --> 00:12:03,208
There are two reasons I went with

283
00:11:59,626 --> 00:12:03,208
"B Komachi" for our group name.

284
00:12:03,875 --> 00:12:08,083
One is my desire to carry on the dream

285
00:12:03,876 --> 00:12:08,083
that Mom should've been able to realize.

286
00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:10,125
And the other is...

287
00:12:10,958 --> 00:12:13,875
{\an8}Miyazaki General Hospital

288
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:13,875
Inquiries

289
00:12:11,333 --> 00:12:13,500
Huh? What do you mean?

290
00:12:14,291 --> 00:12:18,625
Several years ago, it suddenly became impossible

291
00:12:14,292 --> 00:12:18,625
to get in touch with Amamiya-sensei.

292
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:21,291
In other words, he went missing.

293
00:12:36,208 --> 00:12:40,125
There's no way Sensei would overlook

294
00:12:36,209 --> 00:12:40,125
the name "B Komachi," right?

295
00:12:40,958 --> 00:12:44,250
Wherever he is, he must be watching over me.

296
00:12:46,041 --> 00:12:48,833
Following our room tour video...

297
00:12:49,458 --> 00:12:51,666
here's part two of my plan to boost

298
00:12:49,459 --> 00:12:51,666
our YouTube channel!

299
00:12:51,666 --> 00:12:53,291
We're gonna film a music video!

300
00:12:53,291 --> 00:13:03,916
B Komachi Channel!

301
00:12:53,292 --> 00:13:03,916
[Collab with Pieyon-san] [Pieyon Boot Dance!]

302
00:12:53,583 --> 00:12:55,125
Oh, a music video!

303
00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:58,375
After all, it's the easiest way to rack up views!

304
00:12:58,666 --> 00:13:04,083
I want at least one video on the B Komachi Channel

305
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:04,083
to top several million views!

306
00:13:03,958 --> 00:13:08,625
{\an8}Several Million Views

307
00:13:04,208 --> 00:13:08,250
Then we can use that view count as

308
00:13:04,209 --> 00:13:08,250
an example to promote ourselves everywhere!

309
00:13:08,791 --> 00:13:10,166
That's the ticket!

310
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:12,250
Oh, sounds fun.

311
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,708
But, it'll cost a ton, right?

312
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:16,333
Don't you worry.

313
00:13:16,625 --> 00:13:19,291
Someone I know who runs

314
00:13:16,626 --> 00:13:19,291
a design firm in the countryside said

315
00:13:19,291 --> 00:13:23,875
she'd offer a friends' discount

316
00:13:19,292 --> 00:13:23,875
if we head out there to film it.

317
00:13:24,291 --> 00:13:27,833
And we can do some sightseeing on the way back -

318
00:13:24,292 --> 00:13:27,833
two birds with one stone.

319
00:13:27,833 --> 00:13:30,708
I hope you appreciate my connections.

320
00:13:30,916 --> 00:13:32,916
Yay! A trip!

321
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:37,416
But, I won't be able to go until

322
00:13:33,251 --> 00:13:37,416
my play wraps up, you know?

323
00:13:37,416 --> 00:13:42,833
December

324
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:42,833
Schedule

325
00:13:37,418 --> 00:13:40,708
Of course, I'll put the schedule

326
00:13:37,419 --> 00:13:40,708
together with that in mind.

327
00:13:40,708 --> 00:13:43,208
How about we finish the filming in a day and

328
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:46,583
turn it into a two-night, three-day trip

329
00:13:43,209 --> 00:13:46,583
that doubles as R&R after Tokyo Blade?

330
00:13:46,958 --> 00:13:48,791
R&R after Tokyo Blade...

331
00:14:01,458 --> 00:14:02,583
Nice...

332
00:14:03,583 --> 00:14:05,625
So, where'll we be shooting it?

333
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:08,125
Let's see... Miyazaki!

334
00:14:08,875 --> 00:14:10,500
Well that's pretty far away...

335
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:11,750
It's a nice place.

336
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:14,416
I'm still just getting started!

337
00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:18,541
Part three of my promotion plan:

338
00:14:14,709 --> 00:14:18,541
We make an original song!

339
00:14:18,916 --> 00:14:25,333
{\an8}Our Sign Is B

340
00:14:19,041 --> 00:14:25,250
Up till now, we've gotten by with the old B Komachi's

341
00:14:19,042 --> 00:14:25,250
songs, but in the end, they're over a decade old.

342
00:14:25,458 --> 00:14:28,875
We need a new song that targets the current generation!

343
00:14:30,291 --> 00:14:31,791
That said...

344
00:14:32,958 --> 00:14:33,833
President!

345
00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:36,166
What's the status of the song you put in an order for?!

346
00:14:36,416 --> 00:14:39,208
You said you ordered it a while back, didn't you?

347
00:14:39,208 --> 00:14:41,916
Who'd you ask to make it anyway?

348
00:14:42,291 --> 00:14:45,958
Well, I was keeping quiet because

349
00:14:42,292 --> 00:14:45,958
I'd hoped to surprise you all.

350
00:14:46,625 --> 00:14:49,541
For the new B Komachi's first original song,

351
00:14:49,541 --> 00:14:53,458
I put in a request with Hiruma-san,

352
00:14:49,542 --> 00:14:53,458
who worked on many of the old B Komachi's songs.

353
00:14:53,458 --> 00:14:55,000
What?! Himura?!

354
00:14:55,458 --> 00:14:56,958
He's a popular singer...

355
00:14:56,958 --> 00:14:58,666
...and a major hitmaker!

356
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:01,291
The guy who wrote STAR ☆ T ☆ RAIN?!

357
00:15:01,583 --> 00:15:03,500
Wow, that's amazing!

358
00:15:03,625 --> 00:15:04,916
I bet he'll deliver a great song to us!

359
00:15:04,916 --> 00:15:05,708
I can't wait!

360
00:15:05,708 --> 00:15:10,375
That's right... Music artists are another

361
00:15:05,709 --> 00:15:10,375
group Ai had involvement with.

362
00:15:11,375 --> 00:15:13,291
I'll find a way to get close to Himura and...

363
00:15:15,958 --> 00:15:17,125
{\an8}Bodies of Married Couple Found in Apparent Double Suicide?

364
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:17,125
{\an8}At a cottage in Karuizawa, a man and a

365
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,125
woman showing no vitals signs were found.

366
00:15:15,961 --> 00:15:17,125
They were taken to a hospital where their

367
00:15:15,962 --> 00:15:17,125
deaths were confirmed. According to a

368
00:15:15,963 --> 00:15:17,125
statement from the Nagano Prefectural Police,

369
00:15:15,964 --> 00:15:17,125
the deceased are actress Airi Himekawa

370
00:15:15,965 --> 00:15:17,125
and fellow actor Seijuurou Uehara.

371
00:15:18,625 --> 00:15:19,583
No...

372
00:15:20,416 --> 00:15:21,958
There's no longer any need.

373
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:26,041
What's the matter?

374
00:15:26,375 --> 00:15:27,875
Oh, nothing.

375
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:32,583
That's great you landed a good composer.

376
00:15:28,667 --> 00:15:32,583
Have fun with it.

377
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:36,833
You know... you don't seem like your usual self.

378
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:38,166
You think so?

379
00:15:38,458 --> 00:15:40,958
Yeah! You've kind of mellowed out.

380
00:15:41,250 --> 00:15:43,083
That's a good thing if you ask me.

381
00:15:43,416 --> 00:15:44,125
I see.

382
00:15:44,791 --> 00:15:47,500
I wanna sing it! I wanna sing ASAP!

383
00:15:49,166 --> 00:15:50,500
The thing is...

384
00:15:51,083 --> 00:15:54,666
I gave him a deadline of the end of last month...

385
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:57,375
but he still hasn't delivered it.

386
00:15:57,708 --> 00:15:58,833
What?!

387
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:02,291
Ah, he's for sure making light of us.

388
00:16:02,291 --> 00:16:06,041
The longer someone's been in the biz,

389
00:16:02,292 --> 00:16:06,041
the less likely they are to respect deadlines.

390
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:09,250
They only make ones where

391
00:16:06,251 --> 00:16:09,250
there'll be hell to pay if they don't.

392
00:16:09,541 --> 00:16:12,958
I'm sure he must be busy, so there's no helping it.

393
00:16:12,958 --> 00:16:14,750
So please wait a bit longer.

394
00:16:15,041 --> 00:16:16,541
Don't wanna. Let's press him for it.

395
00:16:16,958 --> 00:16:21,375
Y-you might feel that way, but you should

396
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:21,375
be grateful Himura-san is writing it at all.

397
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:23,833
I've already emailed him about it, okay?

398
00:16:25,125 --> 00:16:27,333
No! Call him right now!

399
00:16:27,333 --> 00:16:27,875
But...

400
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:31,041
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

401
00:16:31,041 --> 00:16:33,333
NOOO!

402
00:16:33,333 --> 00:16:37,083
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

403
00:16:33,541 --> 00:16:35,291
The president's under pressure.

404
00:16:35,291 --> 00:16:37,083
She's a softie when it comes to Ruby.

405
00:16:37,416 --> 00:16:39,000
There's no need to be in a hurry.

406
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,791
Well, I am!

407
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:43,000
Idols can't stay idols for all that long.

408
00:16:43,291 --> 00:16:45,958
If we take it easy, we'll be out of time before we know it!

409
00:16:46,291 --> 00:16:50,500
One of these days, Senpai might

410
00:16:46,292 --> 00:16:50,500
go back to being a full-time actress.

411
00:16:52,041 --> 00:16:53,666
And in due time, MEM-cho will...

412
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:56,291
enter her thirties.

413
00:16:56,250 --> 00:17:03,041
Thirties

414
00:16:57,291 --> 00:17:00,125
Not for five years! I've still got five years!

415
00:17:00,125 --> 00:17:03,000
That may be true, but only five years isn't much!

416
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:03,750
Thirties

417
00:17:03,084 --> 00:17:03,750
Only five years left

418
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:07,708
Ruby, it might not be malicious,

419
00:17:04,459 --> 00:17:07,708
but quit it with those deathblows.

420
00:17:08,583 --> 00:17:10,500
Don't think of time from an adult perspective.

421
00:17:10,916 --> 00:17:12,833
Right now, we're going full speed ahead.

422
00:17:13,250 --> 00:17:15,166
We don't have time to take it slow.

423
00:17:24,666 --> 00:17:25,916
Fine.

424
00:17:27,208 --> 00:17:28,791
I'll call him personally.

425
00:17:28,791 --> 00:17:30,000
Yay!

426
00:17:32,708 --> 00:17:35,791
Yes, ma'am, thanks for the call.

427
00:17:36,166 --> 00:17:37,666
The song...?

428
00:17:37,666 --> 00:17:40,250
Uh, I'm a bit stuck right now...

429
00:17:40,833 --> 00:17:45,750
At any rate, I can't be writing something

430
00:17:40,834 --> 00:17:45,750
halfhearted for the new B Komachi's first song.

431
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:51,166
Composer

432
00:17:45,751 --> 00:17:51,166
Himura (45)

433
00:17:46,041 --> 00:17:51,000
My schedule's packed with other projects,

434
00:17:46,042 --> 00:17:51,000
so when I get a decent chunk of time...

435
00:17:53,041 --> 00:17:55,208
Well, I guess I'll get to it.

436
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,708
I've made a dull tune from muscle memory...

437
00:18:09,666 --> 00:18:11,583
{\an8}New B Komachi

438
00:18:11,583 --> 00:18:13,541
{\an8}Fresh Start

439
00:18:13,541 --> 00:18:15,500
Challenge

440
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:17,958
Second Start

441
00:18:20,458 --> 00:18:20,791
{\an8}New B Komachi

442
00:18:20,459 --> 00:18:20,791
Fresh Start

443
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:20,791
Challenge

444
00:18:20,461 --> 00:18:20,791
Second Start

445
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:22,250
Dammit.

446
00:18:26,375 --> 00:18:27,958
He said he hasn't written it?

447
00:18:27,958 --> 00:18:28,875
Yep.

448
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:31,291
Could be bigshot syndrome.

449
00:18:31,291 --> 00:18:32,666
Bigshot syndrome?

450
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,958
When a composer is young, they can write countless

451
00:18:33,001 --> 00:18:37,958
songs by relying on impulse and passion.

452
00:18:37,958 --> 00:18:41,333
{\an8}Friendship

453
00:18:37,959 --> 00:18:41,333
{\an8}Dream

454
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,333
Love

455
00:18:37,961 --> 00:18:41,333
Life

456
00:18:37,962 --> 00:18:41,333
Hardship

457
00:18:37,963 --> 00:18:41,333
Support

458
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:43,208
But, over their years of work,

459
00:18:38,334 --> 00:18:43,208
a bigshot comes to write hundreds of songs-

460
00:18:43,208 --> 00:18:46,208
which is to say, he has already

461
00:18:43,209 --> 00:18:46,208
poured out all he wants to say.

462
00:18:46,666 --> 00:18:50,583
It's different than a slump -

463
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:50,583
it's a severe decline in motivation.

464
00:18:51,541 --> 00:18:54,791
At this point, he has long run out of things

465
00:18:51,542 --> 00:18:54,791
he wants to write about.

466
00:18:56,791 --> 00:18:58,583
Man, I've gotta get writing...

467
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:00,708
but I'm not motivated...

468
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:08,625
Maybe it's time to hang up my hat.

469
00:19:01,876 --> 00:19:08,625
But if I quit music, there's nothing else I can do.

470
00:19:09,291 --> 00:19:09,791
Miyako Saitou

471
00:19:09,292 --> 00:19:09,791
One of the group's members

472
00:19:09,293 --> 00:19:09,791
wants to send you a message

473
00:19:09,791 --> 00:19:11,583
Miyako Saitou

474
00:19:09,834 --> 00:19:11,583
One of the group's members

475
00:19:09,835 --> 00:19:11,583
wants to send you a message

476
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:13,166
Miyako Saitou

477
00:19:11,584 --> 00:19:13,166
Shared "To Himura-san.mp4"

478
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:20,416
Himura-san!

479
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:23,416
I'm Ruby of the new B Komachi!

480
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,250
I've been singing STAR ☆ T ☆ RAIN,

481
00:19:24,001 --> 00:19:28,250
a song you wrote, ever since I was little!

482
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,958
I could dance to the choreography well

483
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:31,958
before I ever joined B Komachi!

484
00:19:32,625 --> 00:19:36,250
I'm so incredibly happy I'll get

485
00:19:32,626 --> 00:19:36,250
to sing your song, Himura-san!

486
00:20:11,791 --> 00:20:14,958
I know you must be busy,

487
00:20:11,792 --> 00:20:14,958
but I'm really looking forward to it!

488
00:20:15,333 --> 00:20:17,541
Please take care of your health and do your best!

489
00:20:18,666 --> 00:20:19,583
Ruby, signing off!

490
00:20:21,625 --> 00:20:24,333
Creators are simple creatures.

491
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,958
Something like this can easily ignite a fire within them.

492
00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:32,250
Just by seeing the face of the person

493
00:20:29,334 --> 00:20:32,250
they'll deliver their work to...

494
00:20:32,958 --> 00:20:35,458
Just by knowing who they're creating it for...

495
00:20:38,083 --> 00:20:39,583
Well then...

496
00:20:39,958 --> 00:20:41,708
time to write a masterpiece.

497
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:54,250
The Tokyo Blade stage play concluded its run.

498
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:59,375
And my schedule is currently wide open.

499
00:20:59,375 --> 00:21:05,458
Tokyo Blade

500
00:20:59,376 --> 00:21:05,458
Day Off

501
00:20:59,377 --> 00:21:05,458
Closing Day

502
00:20:59,378 --> 00:21:05,458
Day Off

503
00:20:59,916 --> 00:21:05,500
It's during these times when free periods suddenly

504
00:20:59,917 --> 00:21:05,500
come up that I need to make preparations for the future...

505
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:09,458
but I'm not sure what it is I should do.

506
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,875
You're looking pretty lifeless...

507
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:17,958
Will you come to Miyazaki with us?

508
00:21:18,291 --> 00:21:20,750
Oh, the place you're filming the music video?

509
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:22,583
Yeah, you're free now, aren't you?

510
00:21:22,958 --> 00:21:24,833
Plus, you're jobless now that Tokyo Blade has wrapped.

511
00:21:24,833 --> 00:21:27,458
Well, I haven't quit being an actor, and I'm also a student.

512
00:21:28,208 --> 00:21:31,791
Senpai was saying it could also

513
00:21:28,209 --> 00:21:31,791
serve as some R&R after the play.

514
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:37,875
Miyazaki, huh?

515
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,416
Come to think of it, I've never been back ever since then.

516
00:21:45,291 --> 00:21:46,208
Yeah...

517
00:21:47,416 --> 00:21:48,416
I guess I'll go.

518
00:22:05,875 --> 00:22:10,416
{\an8}Episode 21

519
00:22:05,876 --> 00:22:10,416
Liberation

520
00:22:20,916 --> 00:22:23,208
Always been trapped into my life

521
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:26,541
No matter how I try, I cannot get it right

522
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:33,333
Back in my mind again and now it feels like

523
00:22:33,333 --> 00:22:38,291
Nobody sees me like I do

524
00:22:39,541 --> 00:22:42,000
Trying to find a way to get a hold on

525
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,583
To everything that's dear to me but then I don't know

526
00:22:46,583 --> 00:22:49,000
Why I leave every time

527
00:22:49,416 --> 00:22:53,666
But I'm crying

528
00:22:53,666 --> 00:22:59,041
In the light of the stage I see, I realize

529
00:22:59,291 --> 00:23:04,708
Whatever comes my way

530
00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:10,875
Be it pain, be it rain, let me be

531
00:23:11,291 --> 00:23:13,500
Lying

532
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:19,041
In the moment behind a veil I hide away

533
00:23:19,041 --> 00:23:24,666
All of my words unsaid

534
00:23:24,666 --> 00:23:28,000
They are scars in their own way

535
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:36,416
(And all this time

536
00:23:36,416 --> 00:23:38,500
It never leaves my mind)
