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
00:00:19,166 --> 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
00:00:47,208 --> 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
00:00:56,291 --> 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
00:01:17,791 --> 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
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:16,541
Wow!

27
00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:19,000
Himura-san's a genius!

28
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:22,416
The demo vocal's already solid -

29
00:02:19,251 --> 00:02:22,416
this is commercial quality!

30
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:30,125
Thinking about you two sullying this song

31
00:02:23,876 --> 00:02:30,125
with your singing fills me with guilt.

32
00:02:30,416 --> 00:02:32,166
There you go being harsh again.

33
00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:34,208
It'll be alright.

34
00:02:34,208 --> 00:02:38,000
We'll heavily tune the original recording

35
00:02:34,209 --> 00:02:38,000
with Cubase and Pro Tools,

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,833
and even off-key singing will turn into something

37
00:02:38,001 --> 00:02:40,833
reasonably enjoyable to listen to.

38
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:42,958
You don't feel sad saying that?

39
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:46,375
Oh, so your new song's done.

40
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:50,916
Uh-huh. It's the new B Komachi's first original song!

41
00:02:51,125 --> 00:02:56,458
And it's an excellent one! Finding a way to make it

42
00:02:51,126 --> 00:02:56,458
go viral will be a good showcase for my skills!

43
00:02:56,958 --> 00:02:58,916
Oh, it turned out nicely, huh?

44
00:02:59,375 --> 00:03:03,625
Well, we discussed just filming

45
00:02:59,376 --> 00:03:03,625
a music video for STAR ☆ T,

46
00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:07,125
{\an8}Anemone Monemone

47
00:03:03,626 --> 00:03:07,125
{\an8}Instagrammer &

48
00:03:03,627 --> 00:03:07,125
video creator

49
00:03:03,628 --> 00:03:06,000
but wanna film one for this song down here, too?

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,750
What?! Isn't that impossible with our schedule?

51
00:03:07,125 --> 00:03:11,375
MEM-cho

52
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,666
We should be able to get through STAR ☆ T

53
00:03:09,001 --> 00:03:12,666
with one day of filming in the studio.

54
00:03:13,083 --> 00:03:14,375
As far as storyboards,

55
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:20,083
I get ideas for the kinda stuff I wanna shoot

56
00:03:14,376 --> 00:03:20,083
when I take walks by the local river and such.

57
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:25,041
So, if you don't mind going with the sort of video

58
00:03:20,376 --> 00:03:25,041
I wanna make, we won't need much prep.

59
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:26,083
How about it?

60
00:03:26,916 --> 00:03:31,583
Well... I guess I'll put my trust in you.

61
00:03:31,583 --> 00:03:34,958
This is why it pays to have friends

62
00:03:31,584 --> 00:03:34,958
who're brilliant creators!

63
00:03:35,291 --> 00:03:37,875
I'll discuss it with our president!

64
00:03:48,833 --> 00:03:49,916
I'll be tagging along.

65
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,375
Why's an outsider coming with us?

66
00:03:55,083 --> 00:03:58,125
Aren't you the one who suggested

67
00:03:55,084 --> 00:03:58,125
making an R&R trip out of it?

68
00:03:58,125 --> 00:04:00,666
Oh, jeez! Okay, I did, but...!

69
00:04:00,666 --> 00:04:03,958
Akane-chan in the flesh! I watched Love Now, you know!

70
00:04:03,958 --> 00:04:06,916
You're beautiful! And cute!

71
00:04:07,458 --> 00:04:11,791
Oh, please... You're way, way cuter

72
00:04:07,459 --> 00:04:11,791
than I am, Ruby-san.

73
00:04:14,666 --> 00:04:19,875
Why's someone so pretty with my brother...

74
00:04:14,667 --> 00:04:19,875
What does he have on you?

75
00:04:19,875 --> 00:04:22,541
Just what kind of person do you think I am?

76
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,541
My brother may be unworthy,

77
00:04:23,167 --> 00:04:26,541
but treat him well for years to come.

78
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:28,500
No, not for that long.

79
00:04:29,125 --> 00:04:32,458
And also, uh... Akane-san...

80
00:04:33,541 --> 00:04:35,416
can I call you "Big Sis"?!

81
00:04:35,416 --> 00:04:36,500
What?!

82
00:04:36,833 --> 00:04:41,375
I've always wanted a big sister!

83
00:04:36,834 --> 00:04:41,375
You'll be mine anyway eventually, right?!

84
00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:43,083
You two'll get married, won't you?!

85
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:44,333
Um, well...

86
00:04:46,791 --> 00:04:52,041
What did I do to be treated like this?

87
00:04:46,792 --> 00:04:52,041
And I'd been looking forward to this trip...

88
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:57,291
Which one should I be rooting for?!

89
00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:14,833
Welcome to

90
00:05:14,251 --> 00:05:14,833
Takachiho,

91
00:05:14,252 --> 00:05:14,833
the town of

92
00:05:14,253 --> 00:05:14,833
mythology,

93
00:05:14,254 --> 00:05:14,833
gorges, and

94
00:05:14,255 --> 00:05:14,833
tranquility

95
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:21,625
{\an8}Welcome to

96
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:21,625
{\an8}Takachiho,

97
00:05:17,752 --> 00:05:21,625
the town of

98
00:05:17,753 --> 00:05:21,625
mythology,

99
00:05:17,754 --> 00:05:21,625
gorges, and

100
00:05:17,755 --> 00:05:21,625
tranquility

101
00:05:31,916 --> 00:05:33,625
What kind of fate is this?

102
00:05:34,833 --> 00:05:37,291
To think I find myself back in this place...

103
00:05:38,083 --> 00:05:39,583
{\an8}Takachiho

104
00:05:38,084 --> 00:05:39,583

106
00:05:39,708 --> 00:05:43,708
Welcome to Takachiho! I'm the video director, Anemone.

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,250
Anemone!

108
00:05:45,458 --> 00:05:47,125
It's been a minute, MEM-cho!

109
00:05:47,458 --> 00:05:50,916
I'm Saitou from Strawberry Productions.

110
00:05:47,459 --> 00:05:50,916
We look forward to working with you.

111
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:56,500
As do I. Thanks for making time in your schedule

112
00:05:51,251 --> 00:05:56,500
to come out to the countryside.

113
00:05:53,333 --> 00:05:54,875
{\an8}Takachiho

114
00:05:53,334 --> 00:05:54,875
{\an8}Yokagura -

115
00:05:53,335 --> 00:05:54,875
{\an8}Dance of

116
00:05:53,336 --> 00:05:54,875
Tajikarao

117
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,250
Interesting townscape, isn't it?

118
00:06:00,625 --> 00:06:02,000
Uh, yes it is!

119
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:04,125
Why'd you base your company here?

120
00:06:04,125 --> 00:06:05,208
Hmm...

121
00:06:05,208 --> 00:06:12,708
Though it was in part because I originally focused on

122
00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:12,708
3D and effects, the biggest reason is that I love nature.

123
00:06:12,875 --> 00:06:17,083
This is where I was born and raised... and where I died.

124
00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:17,083
The air certainly is fresh. Surrounded by mountains...

125
00:06:18,041 --> 00:06:21,291
and with lots of large shrines, it's kind of a power spot.

126
00:06:21,291 --> 00:06:25,041
It's also famous for the goddess of

127
00:06:21,292 --> 00:06:25,041
performing arts being enshrined here.

128
00:06:25,041 --> 00:06:26,250
That so?

129
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,958
What's her name again?

130
00:06:26,501 --> 00:06:30,958
She comes up in Japanese mythology...

131
00:06:30,958 --> 00:06:32,625
Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto.

132
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:35,750
She's a goddess deified at Aratate Shrine, right?

133
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:37,625
Oh, so you know of her!

134
00:06:37,625 --> 00:06:39,791
She's the goddess of song and entertainment.

135
00:06:39,791 --> 00:06:43,291
So people in show biz are always coming down

136
00:06:39,792 --> 00:06:43,291
from Tokyo to worship her.

137
00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:48,291
It's an auspicious place, so I have surprisingly

138
00:06:43,626 --> 00:06:48,291
little trouble with work or business deals.

139
00:06:48,458 --> 00:06:54,375
Oh, let's go visit the shrine! I'd heard of it before,

140
00:06:48,459 --> 00:06:54,375
but I've never been myself!

141
00:06:54,375 --> 00:06:55,541
Uh-huh!

142
00:06:55,875 --> 00:06:57,375
But, before that...

143
00:06:58,166 --> 00:07:02,416
we'll be filming two music videos,

144
00:06:58,167 --> 00:07:02,416
which means we've got a packed schedule.

145
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:12,208
Takachiho

146
00:07:02,751 --> 00:07:12,208
Gamadase

147
00:07:02,752 --> 00:07:12,208
Market

148
00:07:02,833 --> 00:07:06,250
Let's get you changed on the double

149
00:07:02,834 --> 00:07:06,250
and head to the studio!

150
00:07:03,625 --> 00:07:06,083
Er, wait... Ugh!

151
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:07,750
Okay!

152
00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:09,208
Give it your best.

153
00:07:10,583 --> 00:07:12,208
They're rushing around, huh?

154
00:07:12,625 --> 00:07:18,625
So, what should we do? I hear that

155
00:07:12,626 --> 00:07:18,625
the Ama-no-Iwato of Japanese mythology is nearby.

156
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,916
That cave that Amaterasu cooped herself up in,

157
00:07:20,916 --> 00:07:24,541
only to be lured out by the other gods

158
00:07:20,917 --> 00:07:24,541
when they threw a party outside.

159
00:07:25,125 --> 00:07:27,125
Gods, huh?

160
00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:29,833
You a fan of the occult, Aqua-kun?

161
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:33,083
You could say that. Er, well...

162
00:07:33,333 --> 00:07:35,541
I think there are elements of truth to it.

163
00:07:35,541 --> 00:07:38,250
That stuff's intriguing, isn't it?

164
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:40,666
There's somewhere I wanna go.

165
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,083
Okay, I'm cool with going where you wanna go.

166
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:45,125
Where to?

167
00:07:45,541 --> 00:07:46,375
The hospital.

168
00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:47,083
Huh?

169
00:07:48,791 --> 00:07:51,541
Do you have a stomachache? Want some medicine?

170
00:07:51,541 --> 00:07:52,916
It's not like that.

171
00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:58,250
The hospital where Ruby and I were born is down here.

172
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:01,791
{\an8}Takachiho

173
00:08:00,834 --> 00:08:01,791
{\an8}Gamadase

174
00:08:00,835 --> 00:08:01,791
{\an8}Market

175
00:08:04,458 --> 00:08:08,416
So, are your grandparents from

176
00:08:04,459 --> 00:08:08,416
around here or something?

177
00:08:08,875 --> 00:08:10,708
Like, your mom went home to give birth?

178
00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:12,416
Well, that's more or less right.

179
00:08:13,416 --> 00:08:16,875
It seems MEM didn't know

180
00:08:13,417 --> 00:08:16,875
this was our birthplace, though.

181
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:19,208
Talk about a coincidence.

182
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:20,750
It surprised me, too.

183
00:08:22,916 --> 00:08:26,375
There's something I want to check

184
00:08:22,917 --> 00:08:26,375
real quick - I'll be right back.

185
00:08:27,583 --> 00:08:32,583
Excuse me, I believe there was doctor here

186
00:08:27,584 --> 00:08:32,583
by the name of Gorou Amamiya...

187
00:08:32,958 --> 00:08:35,083
Amamiya, you say?

188
00:08:39,791 --> 00:08:42,833
We suddenly became unable

189
00:08:39,792 --> 00:08:42,833
to get a hold of Mr. Amamiya.

190
00:08:43,375 --> 00:08:45,625
Apparently, he was treated as having resigned.

191
00:08:46,375 --> 00:08:47,375
Oh, I see.

192
00:08:48,291 --> 00:08:49,791
It's been 15 years since then...

193
00:08:50,625 --> 00:08:55,833
Naturally, there had been staff reshuffling,

194
00:08:50,626 --> 00:08:55,833
and none of the colleagues I was close to were there.

195
00:08:57,375 --> 00:08:59,041
What were you checking?

196
00:08:59,708 --> 00:09:01,583
Someone I know used to work here.

197
00:09:21,541 --> 00:09:23,250
Huh? Where're you going?

198
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,708
To look for something. Go ahead and wait inside.

199
00:09:26,708 --> 00:09:28,208
No, I'm coming too.

200
00:09:30,833 --> 00:09:34,250
You must've been naughty when you were little.

201
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:39,791
Heading into the fields and running around the

202
00:09:34,751 --> 00:09:39,791
mountains is one thing, but an animal trial like this...

203
00:09:39,791 --> 00:09:41,333
Should be around here.

204
00:09:46,833 --> 00:09:49,291
Akane, hypothetically speaking,

205
00:09:49,958 --> 00:09:55,666
do you think the corpse of a pet that got lost here

206
00:09:49,959 --> 00:09:55,666
around 15 years ago could be found?

207
00:09:56,416 --> 00:10:00,833
Hmm, if it had been buried,

208
00:09:56,417 --> 00:10:00,833
bones could probably be found,

209
00:10:01,208 --> 00:10:06,250
but if it was exposed to the elements, wild animals

210
00:10:01,209 --> 00:10:06,250
would likely have devoured and scattered the remains,

211
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:07,666
so it'd be tough.

212
00:10:07,666 --> 00:10:08,750
Thought so.

213
00:10:10,416 --> 00:10:14,500
Aqua-kun came way out here

214
00:10:10,417 --> 00:10:14,500
looking for his old pet dog...

215
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,958
He's got a cute side.

216
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:21,666
If the body was buried, I'm at a loss...

217
00:10:17,584 --> 00:10:21,666
but there's no reason to go out of our way to find it.

218
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:26,583
Nothing good comes of opening

219
00:10:22,584 --> 00:10:26,583
someone's grave, I suppose.

220
00:10:29,416 --> 00:10:31,291
Sorry for dragging you all over.

221
00:10:31,291 --> 00:10:37,875
Nah, I'm the one who said let's go wherever

222
00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:37,875
you want. Besides, I'm just tagging along.

223
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:39,958
This is the last spot.

224
00:10:44,625 --> 00:10:45,500
What is this place?

225
00:10:45,958 --> 00:10:48,416
The house of someone I know.

226
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:52,125
That said, the former residents are all deceased,

227
00:10:48,959 --> 00:10:52,125
and no one lives here now.

228
00:10:50,041 --> 00:10:51,958
Amamiya

229
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:57,208
Must be someone important to you

230
00:10:53,251 --> 00:10:57,208
if you've come all the way out here.

231
00:10:57,583 --> 00:10:58,958
Who were they?

232
00:10:59,958 --> 00:11:01,291
Gorou Amamiya.

233
00:11:01,875 --> 00:11:04,250
He never had a mother.

234
00:11:05,041 --> 00:11:06,916
Obstetric hemorrhage...

235
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:13,041
She hid her pregnancy from her parents and gave birth

236
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:13,041
on her own at home, but she lost too much blood.

237
00:11:13,833 --> 00:11:15,708
By the time the ambulance arrived, it was too late.

238
00:11:16,791 --> 00:11:20,458
With the boy's father being unknown,

239
00:11:16,792 --> 00:11:20,458
he was placed in the care of his grandparents.

240
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:23,166
It seems it was a rather strained situation.

241
00:11:23,958 --> 00:11:28,541
His relationship with his grandma wasn't bad,

242
00:11:23,959 --> 00:11:28,541
but it was a different story with his grandpa.

243
00:11:29,375 --> 00:11:35,250
He never managed to get over his guilt at

244
00:11:29,376 --> 00:11:35,250
having been born at the expense of his mother's life.

245
00:11:35,958 --> 00:11:37,916
Even when he decided to go to medical school...

246
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:40,000
So you're going to be an obstetrician!

247
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,541
Must be because of what happened with your mom...

248
00:11:40,001 --> 00:11:45,541
You truly are a sweet boy.

249
00:11:45,833 --> 00:11:48,166
The truth is he wanted to be a surgeon.

250
00:11:48,833 --> 00:11:53,583
He thought the doctor in his favorite

251
00:11:48,834 --> 00:11:53,583
book was cool. He admired him.

252
00:11:54,375 --> 00:11:58,333
In the end, he was a guy whose only redeeming quality

253
00:11:54,376 --> 00:11:58,333
was adapting his life to fit in with others.

254
00:11:59,375 --> 00:12:01,625
Even after becoming a doctor, he was powerless...

255
00:12:02,666 --> 00:12:04,708
How does such a thing happen?!

256
00:12:05,125 --> 00:12:09,833
Sarina could pass away soon,

257
00:12:05,126 --> 00:12:09,833
and her parents still don't show up!

258
00:12:10,208 --> 00:12:14,625
Both of them work in the city center,

259
00:12:10,209 --> 00:12:14,625
so they're unable to get here quickly.

260
00:12:14,625 --> 00:12:16,625
Can they really call themselves parents?!

261
00:12:16,958 --> 00:12:18,083
A mother's someone who...!

262
00:12:18,916 --> 00:12:23,041
That's a mere illusion. Such parents

263
00:12:18,917 --> 00:12:23,041
are out there - they're a dime a dozen.

264
00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:26,416
Sarina-chan took a real liking to you.

265
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:30,291
General Obstetrics & Gynecology Resident

266
00:12:26,834 --> 00:12:30,291
Gorou Amamiya

267
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,375
You should be by her side in her last moments.

268
00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:45,000
Sensei...

269
00:12:46,958 --> 00:13:02,458
Ai's fan for

270
00:12:46,959 --> 00:13:02,458
all eternity!!!

271
00:12:47,416 --> 00:12:49,958
Please... take this.

272
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:58,583
When I was well, just once I was able

273
00:12:51,584 --> 00:12:58,583
to go to a B Komachi concert...

274
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:02,458
I got this out of a capsule toy machine there.

275
00:13:03,583 --> 00:13:07,291
Think of it as me and cherish it.

276
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:11,083
You've got it. I'll always treasure it.

277
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:12,916
Always, you hear?

278
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:19,750
Sensei, I love you.

279
00:13:21,833 --> 00:13:25,125
Even if I were to be reborn...

280
00:13:26,125 --> 00:13:27,208
Surely...

281
00:13:32,416 --> 00:13:34,750
God is surely kind, right?

282
00:13:35,541 --> 00:13:38,916
God guided both the two of you who,

283
00:13:35,542 --> 00:13:38,916
in the true sense, never really had a mom...

284
00:13:39,666 --> 00:13:43,333
as well as a mother who gave birth to soulless children.

285
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:49,000
Perhaps there's a deeper meaning to it, though.

286
00:13:52,166 --> 00:13:54,958
Oh? You're even gonna film this kind of stuff?

287
00:13:55,333 --> 00:14:01,000
Yep. With idol music videos, it's common to shoot

288
00:13:55,334 --> 00:14:01,000
both a dance part and a drama part, right?

289
00:14:01,375 --> 00:14:04,166
We'll devote most of the runtime to the dance footage,

290
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:08,625
but we need to insert some shots that

291
00:14:04,167 --> 00:14:08,625
capture the cuteness of each of you girls.

292
00:14:09,708 --> 00:14:10,708
Kana-chan, you too!

293
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,750
Picture the camera as your crush and turn around.

294
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,250
Oh my... That's a great face.

295
00:14:22,583 --> 00:14:24,333
There must be someone you like, huh?

296
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:27,958
What're they like? What do you like about 'em?

297
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:30,583
With music videos, it's the norm to only decide

298
00:14:26,834 --> 00:14:30,583
on the concept and rough course of events

299
00:14:27,958 --> 00:14:29,583
Um, well, I...

300
00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:32,333
Good stuff. Let's get footage of that.

301
00:14:30,583 --> 00:14:34,166
and then make the call on what

302
00:14:30,584 --> 00:14:34,166
to film once you're on location.

303
00:14:34,583 --> 00:14:40,583
Finding a way to draw out a subject's cuteness

304
00:14:34,584 --> 00:14:40,583
calls for the talents of a pin-up girl cameraman.

305
00:14:40,958 --> 00:14:41,875
I see...

306
00:14:41,125 --> 00:14:42,875
Okay, good work, Kana-chan!

307
00:14:42,875 --> 00:14:44,583
They've got a pretty big staff, huh?

308
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:45,375
Sure do.

309
00:14:45,875 --> 00:14:51,000
The cameraman and assistants, lighting,

310
00:14:45,876 --> 00:14:51,000
art and wardrobe, makeup, and so on.

311
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,958
Including the production manager and director,

312
00:14:51,001 --> 00:14:55,958
you're looking at 10 or even 20 people.

313
00:14:56,666 --> 00:14:59,583
The project as a whole is probably

314
00:14:56,667 --> 00:14:59,583
costing over five million yen.

315
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:00,791
Oh my!

316
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:07,250
Though you could say idols are exploited,

317
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:07,250
the aspects of it that cost money cost a whole lot of it.

318
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:12,541
You should be grateful to our president for spending

319
00:15:07,251 --> 00:15:12,541
so much on a group that doesn't bring in profits.

320
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:14,916
I love you, Miyako-san!

321
00:15:16,291 --> 00:15:22,750
Well, I hear some underground idols will get a music

322
00:15:16,292 --> 00:15:22,750
video filmed and made for around 500,000 yen, though.

323
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:25,000
I bet some do...

324
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:31,791
Hey.

325
00:15:32,250 --> 00:15:33,250
Welcome back.

326
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,000
Filming going okay?

327
00:15:35,291 --> 00:15:40,875
Ruby and Kana-chan are mostly done filming their drama

328
00:15:35,292 --> 00:15:40,875
parts, and now we're gonna shoot the dance part.

329
00:15:38,791 --> 00:15:42,291
Alright, good work! Go and take a break.

330
00:15:41,416 --> 00:15:43,958
Hm? You haven't filmed yet, MEM?

331
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:43,291
Okay!

332
00:15:44,125 --> 00:15:45,875
Yeah, I can wait till later.

333
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:47,166
Why's that?

334
00:15:48,458 --> 00:15:52,958
Because minors are banned from working past 10 p.m.!

335
00:15:53,458 --> 00:15:58,250
And I, far from being a minor, can film late into the night!

336
00:15:58,250 --> 00:15:59,458
Sorry for asking.

337
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,916
Seems you did a fair bit of sightseeing.

338
00:16:07,541 --> 00:16:11,375
Pretty nice costume, isn't it?

339
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:11,375
We all discussed the design before deciding on it.

340
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:14,750
It screams idol, and Ruby surely likes-

341
00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:17,083
It's all wrong.

342
00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:22,125
Oh, right. Akane is opposed to Arima's idol work.

343
00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:23,875
I just hope they don't fight.

344
00:16:24,041 --> 00:16:25,583
Come here a second.

345
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,041
What is it?

346
00:16:31,125 --> 00:16:33,708
What're you thinking putting on your ribbon so sloppily?

347
00:16:33,708 --> 00:16:38,166
You might want to show off with a slim waist, but

348
00:16:33,709 --> 00:16:38,166
tightening your belt too much causes wrinkles.

349
00:16:38,458 --> 00:16:40,125
You've got some dust here, too.

350
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:43,666
It'll cause trouble for the wardrobe staff,

351
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:43,666
so don't walk around so much.

352
00:16:46,208 --> 00:16:47,625
So is this okay, then?

353
00:16:48,916 --> 00:16:51,958
I suppose... it gets a passing mark.

354
00:16:52,416 --> 00:16:55,541
Kana-chan, Kana-chan, Kana Arima!

355
00:16:55,541 --> 00:16:58,500
Nothing's more of a pain than a former fan turned hater.

356
00:16:59,208 --> 00:17:00,708
What do you think, Aqua?

357
00:17:01,791 --> 00:17:03,458
Am I cute?

358
00:17:04,833 --> 00:17:07,583
Well, I'd say you get a passing mark.

359
00:17:08,125 --> 00:17:10,375
Just be honest and praise me, you guys!

360
00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:19,416
Kana-chan really is an idol, huh?

361
00:17:19,625 --> 00:17:20,833
Yeah, I guess so.

362
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:25,041
I figured out why Kana-chan's acting improved.

363
00:17:25,291 --> 00:17:28,041
She's constantly screaming, "Look at me."

364
00:17:28,666 --> 00:17:32,041
And if someone's yelling out, you end up looking at them.

365
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:39,708
I can't really say since I'm not familiar with idols,

366
00:17:33,501 --> 00:17:39,708
but do you think Kana-chan will become successful?

367
00:17:41,208 --> 00:17:42,333
She will.

368
00:17:42,625 --> 00:17:43,833
I see...

369
00:17:44,458 --> 00:17:47,208
You can't be going on any more dates with her, then.

370
00:17:48,208 --> 00:17:53,666
She bragged about it, you know.

371
00:17:48,209 --> 00:17:53,666
She said she went to a Brazilian BBQ place with you.

372
00:17:54,625 --> 00:17:59,833
It's not an issue now since she's now well-known,

373
00:17:54,626 --> 00:17:59,833
but she's going to attract more and more attention.

374
00:18:00,125 --> 00:18:04,041
And then, she absolutely can't be

375
00:18:00,126 --> 00:18:04,041
seen dining with a guy in public.

376
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,500
At the very least, I hope you'd reserve a private room.

377
00:18:08,625 --> 00:18:12,750
For idols, a single storm of criticism

378
00:18:08,626 --> 00:18:12,750
can be a fatal wound.

379
00:18:15,291 --> 00:18:20,625
Actors are a bit more lax about this stuff,

380
00:18:15,292 --> 00:18:20,625
so the guy should be watching out for her.

381
00:18:22,458 --> 00:18:25,208
Good point. I showed a lack of awareness.

382
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,000
That's right...

383
00:18:29,625 --> 00:18:30,875
Arima's an idol.

384
00:18:31,625 --> 00:18:35,416
If there were a hint of a man around,

385
00:18:31,626 --> 00:18:35,416
it would hardly ever lead to anything good.

386
00:18:35,541 --> 00:18:39,875
{\an8}Hot romance exposed?!

387
00:18:35,542 --> 00:18:39,875
Her love

388
00:18:35,543 --> 00:18:39,875
interest

389
00:18:35,544 --> 00:18:39,875
is from

390
00:18:35,545 --> 00:18:39,875
the same

391
00:18:35,546 --> 00:18:39,875
agency

392
00:18:36,416 --> 00:18:40,291
She might be photographed by weekly magazines

393
00:18:36,417 --> 00:18:40,291
or have gossip leaked by those close to her.

394
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:42,041
In the worst case...

395
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:44,625
she could end up like Ai.

396
00:18:52,083 --> 00:18:55,083
Okay, time for the minors to head back to the inn.

397
00:18:55,458 --> 00:18:59,791
You're an adult, MEM, so stay behind.

398
00:18:55,459 --> 00:18:59,791
I mean, you're 18, right?

399
00:18:59,791 --> 00:19:03,208
Yes! I'm past my 18th birthday!

400
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:06,958
I'd love to room with "Big Sis" Akane tonight!

401
00:19:06,958 --> 00:19:08,875
Oh? Fine by me.

402
00:19:09,125 --> 00:19:12,666
I'm gonna observe a bit more,

403
00:19:09,126 --> 00:19:12,666
so look after Ruby for me.

404
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,875
Got it.

405
00:19:14,666 --> 00:19:17,083
Aqua-kun really cares for his sister.

406
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,583
Sleepover.~ Sleepover.~

407
00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:22,125
Oh, a crow.

408
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:23,416
How cute.

409
00:19:23,416 --> 00:19:24,666
That's dangerous.

410
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,083
You know how the kanji for night blindness is "bird-eye"?

411
00:19:25,001 --> 00:19:30,083
At night, birds can't see at all.

412
00:19:30,083 --> 00:19:33,416
No, that's not right! You're thinking of chickens.

413
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,875
You stinkin' crow! I'll gonna grill and skewer you!

414
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:41,416
I was trying to warn you...

415
00:19:41,666 --> 00:19:43,166
Hold it!

416
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:47,666
Dammit. That bird's provoking me.

417
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:49,541
I'll catch the darn thing!

418
00:19:49,916 --> 00:19:54,041
Why don't we just apologize to the innkeeper?

419
00:19:49,917 --> 00:19:54,041
We'll get lost out here.

420
00:19:54,041 --> 00:19:57,333
It'll be alright! I'm somewhat familiar with the area.

421
00:19:57,958 --> 00:19:59,083
Really?

422
00:20:00,041 --> 00:20:04,750
Uh, no, it's just I was born around here!

423
00:20:00,042 --> 00:20:04,750
We often passed by in the car, so...

424
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:08,083
Yeah, Aqua-kun told me.

425
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:09,833
H-he did?

426
00:20:10,208 --> 00:20:12,625
You were born at the hospital on the hill, right?

427
00:20:12,875 --> 00:20:13,625
Yeah.

428
00:20:13,958 --> 00:20:17,125
He said he has a personal attachment to the place.

429
00:20:18,041 --> 00:20:23,750
I see... That place is important to me, too.

430
00:20:27,291 --> 00:20:30,458
Oh, I know! Why don't you join

431
00:20:27,292 --> 00:20:30,458
B Komachi too, Akane-chan?

432
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:32,416
No, I don't know about that...

433
00:20:32,791 --> 00:20:39,375
I'm quite hopeless outside of my specialty, which

434
00:20:32,792 --> 00:20:39,375
even made things tough on that reality dating show...

435
00:20:41,041 --> 00:20:43,875
On the other hand, are you not interested in acting?

436
00:20:45,291 --> 00:20:47,708
Actually... I am a bit.

437
00:20:47,958 --> 00:20:50,875
Is that right?! I'd be happy to teach you if you like!

438
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:52,541
Oh, that's great!

439
00:20:53,541 --> 00:20:57,666
But, I'm thinking that's for after

440
00:20:53,542 --> 00:20:57,666
I give my all to being an idol.

441
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:03,500
Someday, I'll have a concert in the Dome!

442
00:20:59,251 --> 00:21:03,500
And become an idol who's a household name!

443
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:05,291
And then...

444
00:21:08,250 --> 00:21:11,875
You've worked hard.

445
00:21:08,251 --> 00:21:11,875
I've been cheering for you all this time.

446
00:21:12,208 --> 00:21:14,250
Ai's fan for

447
00:21:12,209 --> 00:21:14,250
all eternity!!!

448
00:21:12,333 --> 00:21:13,500
Sensei...

449
00:21:15,833 --> 00:21:21,041
Hey, how big of an age gap would you be okay with?

450
00:21:21,041 --> 00:21:21,875
What?!

451
00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:27,125
It's a person's mental age that's important,

452
00:21:22,251 --> 00:21:27,125
so a gap of 10 or so years would be fine...

453
00:21:27,375 --> 00:21:30,000
Anyway, what gives? Why the girl talk all of a sudden?

454
00:21:31,625 --> 00:21:35,083
You must like someone who's

455
00:21:31,626 --> 00:21:35,083
nowhere close to your age, huh?

456
00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:35,791
Yep.

457
00:21:36,125 --> 00:21:37,333
What're they like?

458
00:21:37,708 --> 00:21:39,375
He's super kind!

459
00:21:40,083 --> 00:21:43,333
When I was all on my own, he stayed by my side,

460
00:21:43,708 --> 00:21:45,625
and always encouraged me.

461
00:21:46,291 --> 00:21:50,416
If it weren't for Sensei,

462
00:21:46,292 --> 00:21:50,416
I wouldn't have had such a will to live.

463
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:54,041
I never would've thought of becoming an idol...

464
00:21:55,125 --> 00:21:57,041
He's the one who gave me a reason to live.

465
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:02,958
I get it... It's nice to have someone you love, huh?

466
00:22:04,083 --> 00:22:06,583
A bit of an age gap doesn't matter!

467
00:22:06,791 --> 00:22:10,041
Yeah, right?! A little gap is no issue!

468
00:22:10,041 --> 00:22:14,000
Really go after him! I'll help out if you like!

469
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:17,958
I don't know where he is right now, though.

470
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:19,083
You don't?

471
00:22:19,291 --> 00:22:23,583
Apparently, he suddenly vanished

472
00:22:19,292 --> 00:22:23,583
from his workplace and went missing.

473
00:22:25,166 --> 00:22:28,833
In all likelihood, he just fled some

474
00:22:25,167 --> 00:22:28,833
from some lady troubles, though!

475
00:22:28,833 --> 00:22:31,583
Huh? You're okay with a guy like that?

476
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:38,125
He was such a tease! No matter how many times I said,

477
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:38,125
"I love you! Let's get married!" he was evasive!

478
00:22:41,333 --> 00:22:43,666
Even so, that's fine.

479
00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:46,958
I love you, Sensei! Marry me!

480
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:52,541
A shame, isn't it? But I'll seriously

481
00:22:47,751 --> 00:22:52,541
consider it once you turn 16.

482
00:22:51,416 --> 00:22:52,958
Ai's fan for

483
00:22:51,417 --> 00:22:52,958
all eternity!!!

484
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:58,458
Sensei, I...

485
00:22:59,208 --> 00:23:00,958
have turned 16.

486
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:05,541
I want to see you again.

487
00:23:13,958 --> 00:23:16,375
There's a space behind this little shrine.

488
00:23:16,375 --> 00:23:19,750
Must have your nest back there! I've cornered you now!

489
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,375
What? You're going inside?

490
00:23:30,875 --> 00:23:33,208
Head back out, Ruby-chan.

491
00:23:34,625 --> 00:23:36,791
There's a dead body... in here.

492
00:23:40,125 --> 00:23:42,875
A white coat... Were they a doctor?

493
00:23:43,958 --> 00:23:46,833
No... It can't be...

494
00:23:47,583 --> 00:23:50,416
After all, Sensei is...

495
00:23:49,291 --> 00:23:51,791
Ai's fan for

496
00:23:49,292 --> 00:23:51,791
all eternity!!!

497
00:23:55,791 --> 00:24:00,541
{\an8}Episode 23

498
00:23:55,792 --> 00:24:00,541
Reunion

499
00:24:10,875 --> 00:24:13,250
Always been trapped into my life

500
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:16,583
No matter how I try, I cannot get it right

501
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:23,375
Back in my mind again and now it feels like

502
00:24:23,375 --> 00:24:28,291
Nobody sees me like I do

503
00:24:29,583 --> 00:24:32,000
Trying to find a way to get a hold on

504
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,625
To everything that's dear to me but then I don't know

505
00:24:36,625 --> 00:24:39,041
Why I leave every time

506
00:24:39,458 --> 00:24:43,750
But I'm crying

507
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:49,083
In the light of the stage I see, I realize

508
00:24:49,375 --> 00:24:54,750
Whatever comes my way

509
00:24:54,750 --> 00:25:00,916
Be it pain, be it rain, let me be

510
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,541
Lying

511
00:25:03,541 --> 00:25:09,041
In the moment behind a veil I hide away

512
00:25:09,041 --> 00:25:14,708
All of my words unsaid

513
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:18,000
They are scars in their own way

514
00:25:22,291 --> 00:25:26,458
(And all this time

515
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:28,541
It never leaves my mind)
