00:00It's not like anything super serious or horrible happened.
00:08It was some weird live footage on a quiet morning,
00:11revealing a scandalous singer with caked-on makeup.
00:15It definitely had an effect, though.
00:19I figured we could use that attention to get what we wanted.
00:30Hey!
00:32Baby, I'm standing alone,
00:35lights and rain, no rain in the air.
00:38I don't know if I get walking and it's over.
00:43It's not for your design every night.
00:47I scream like I'm trying to cry.
00:49It's a tiny tiger, you're feral.
00:52Please, please, God.
00:54To me, we worship her.
00:56I don't need to hide her no more.
00:59I don't need to hide her no more.
01:01I don't need to hide her no more.
01:04Going on.
01:06You got a chance now.
01:07You got a power.
01:09Keep it down.
01:10Turn to yourself.
01:11Show you my life now.
01:13Show you my love now.
01:14Show you my everything.
01:17Change now.
01:18You better catch now.
01:20I'm gonna miss you.
01:22Be yourself.
01:22Show you my strength now.
01:24Show you my love now.
01:25Show you my everything.
01:27Yeah, yeah, baby.
01:29Don't be afraid.
01:33Yeah, yeah.
01:35Yeah, yeah.
01:36Yeah, yeah.
01:37Keep going on.
01:39Yeah, yeah.
01:40Yeah, yeah.
01:42Yeah, yeah.
01:43Keep going on.
01:44Hey, did you see it on TV?
01:57Today's 7 in the morning.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Nana.
01:59Who's that?
02:00Ren's girl.
02:01He has a girlfriend.
02:02She totally pisses me off.
02:04But she's super hot.
02:06Don't you think?
02:06You think so?
02:07I thought she looked evil.
02:08I think she put a curse on me.
02:09A curse?
02:10Girls nowadays.
02:11Using a man to become famous.
02:13It's unforgivable manipulating Ren like that.
02:15Do you like Ren Hongjo?
02:17Me too.
02:17Ever since he did that canned coffee commercial.
02:19The bass player.
02:20Now he's really cute.
02:22Who cares about Nana?
02:23I want to know his name.
02:24Forget the bassist.
02:25Who's the guitarist?
02:25I totally missed it.
02:26What's the band's name?
02:27Hey, why don't you make your own flowers bloom?
02:30Do you even know what it is you're saying?
02:33Good morning, Guy Records.
02:34We have no choice but to go along with it.
02:45The phones have been ringing off the hook.
02:48Everyone suddenly changed their minds.
02:49Now they want to push forward.
02:52I just don't like it.
02:53Even if they get big with this tabloid crap,
02:55it'll just be a flash in the pan.
02:57When this magazine hits the stands tomorrow,
03:00Nana will get bashed up even more.
03:02Talented musicians getting their careers destroyed by slander
03:06and record companies who care only about one thing,
03:09the bottom line.
03:09But you've seen this before, haven't you, Matsuo?
03:13But all your effort up to this point will be wasted
03:15if you quit on them now.
03:17I say don't fight this and just do what the label wants.
03:22Upper management isn't interested in hearing your opinions
03:25or your complaints.
03:26That's obvious since they never gave you a heads up
03:29about this whole media onslaught.
03:32Anyone who knows anything about this business
03:34would easily be able to figure out
03:36that Gaia was behind that broadcast.
03:39The media knows that
03:41and they're happily eating it all up.
03:45The party's already started.
03:47There's no stopping it now.
03:48Ugh, I've had it with that old tanuki face.
03:56Stuffing me in this cheap hotel?
03:58Ugh, get us a penthouse suite or a deluxe room at least.
04:00You're totally right.
04:01This is the rudest thing ever.
04:03You think so?
04:04Because I think it's amazing that Gaia decided
04:06to do anything for us.
04:08But yeah, a hotel with room service would be nice right now.
04:11I'm starving.
04:12Do you want me to go get you something?
04:14Sushi!
04:15Got it, no problem.
04:18I'll be right back.
04:22Hey, Misato.
04:23Welcome back, Yasu.
04:25How did everything go with Gaia?
04:26I didn't expect to see you here.
04:28Ah, she saw that stupid show this morning,
04:30got worried and rushed over here.
04:32That's my Misato.
04:33I'm just relieved because Nana seems totally fine.
04:36Right, Nana?
04:36But how did you know that we were here in this hotel?
04:39I got a text message from Sheen.
04:42What a nice boy you are.
04:43Well, I knew she'd want to come see us right away.
04:46Plus, she said she's going to stay with us for a while.
04:49And since we can't go anywhere,
04:50it'll be great to have her around to run errands for us.
04:53I'm in room 712.
04:55Feel free to call me whenever you need me.
04:57But what about school?
04:58Oh, you don't need to worry about that.
05:01All right, then.
05:02We got this as a present from Mr. Nishimoto at Gaia.
05:07Misato, you can eat mine.
05:09What? It's food?
05:10Oh, I couldn't take yours.
05:12No, really.
05:13I just had a lunch meeting with Mr. Kawano.
05:15I'm stuffed.
05:17So don't worry.
05:17Go ahead and help yourself.
05:19Thanks. I feel bad for eating your food.
05:21And make us some tea.
05:22So who is this Nishimoto guy?
05:24The head of Gaia's production department.
05:26He came by the studio that one time, remember?
05:28Huh.
05:29Well, a lot of guys came by to watch us play.
05:31How can I keep track of who's who?
05:33What was he like?
05:34I'd say he looks like a sly fox.
05:37A fox.
05:43Gaia's just full of shady characters.
05:45Nana, it's super fancy sushi.
05:50Nishimoto's such a great guy.
05:53But wait, what does it mean when a bigwig like that buys us expensive food?
05:57They're finally going to release your CD!
05:58Yeah, it seems they want to cash in on our recent exposure.
06:03That fox ain't so hard to figure out.
06:06Congratulations, you guys!
06:08Nana, no one's forcing you to do this.
06:12If you don't feel this is how we should debut, you don't have to sign the contract.
06:15Oh, that's right.
06:17Sorry, I wasn't thinking.
06:19What the hell are you saying?
06:20Of course we're doing this.
06:22I already threw out my stupid pride.
06:25Now that I've been put in this position, I'm going to use Ren as much as I can.
06:30I've promised myself I'd do anything to climb up the music biz ladder,
06:33and I'll climb so high no one will ever look down on me!
06:36You're so cool!
06:37I mean, you're waiting for me!
06:38You just realized that?
06:39I can't use chopsticks.
06:41Unbelievable!
06:44Where's Nobu?
06:46I'm pretty sure he locked himself in his room.
06:49That rich kid is such a baby sometimes.
07:07Huh?
07:07You can't break me with food anymore!
07:14Come on.
07:15Food is just food.
07:17Eat it, all right.
07:23I'm so pissed that our debut on a major label is happening like this.
07:27I can't believe Nana's going along with it.
07:30I mean, where did her pride go?
07:33I'm pretty sure Nana gets her pride from facing adversity.
07:36Yeah, but I have my pride too, you know.
07:41Gaia doesn't give a crap about our music.
07:45Is this what the major labels are like?
07:48Yep, that's pretty much how all the big companies operate.
07:51If they think it'll sell, anything goes.
07:53But Yasu!
07:54And you're right.
07:55Gaia's probably involved in this media feeding frenzy somehow.
07:58Yeah, I thought so.
08:00At least that's a theory that Kawano Matsuo and I managed to come up with after thinking it over.
08:04Did you know the network that broadcasts 7 in the morning also has two music programs on their schedule?
08:12Gaia often has music and artists that appear on those shows.
08:15A benefit for both sides.
08:17So, who knows what kind of deals are going on behind the scenes.
08:21Our band gets this splashy introduction as the latest thing from Gaia.
08:24In order for that to happen, the TV station had to contact Gaia ahead of time to put together some sort of agreement.
08:30Otherwise, they never would have mentioned the record company's name.
08:33Huh.
08:34The show was clearly set up to be our promotional push into the spotlight.
08:38My guess is that was Gaia's condition for allowing the whole thing to be broadcast.
08:43Even if the promotion fails and we end up in the tank, Gaia would lose nothing from it.
08:48This totally sucks.
08:51Nana acts like it doesn't bother her, but I know she must be feeling really hurt.
08:54I don't want to be on a record label like that.
09:00Well, no matter what label we're on, there'll always be shady deals like that.
09:04It's just business.
09:06But the good thing about Gaia is that at the very least, they've got deep pockets that we can tap into.
09:12It's one thing to be all about the music, but unless people actually get to hear it, what's the point?
09:17If we're going to be on a major label, it's best to deal with one that gives us loads of money for production and promotion.
09:27I think there are a lot of things in life that are hard to accept.
09:31Yeah, lately it seems like everything in my life's been hard to accept.
09:34Then I guess you're already figuring it out.
09:40As much as we'd like it to, justice doesn't always prevail in this world.
09:46So if you don't want to be disappointed, you've got to toughen up.
09:49You've got to get crafty.
09:51If you can't take it, then go back to the Tarashima Inn.
10:12When I turned on the TV, I saw Ren swarmed by paparazzi on all the talk shows.
10:18He was being rushed silently through the lobby at Narita Airport.
10:24It made me feel kind of left behind and abandoned again.
10:31I had no idea where he was going.
10:36And I didn't even know what he was up to.
10:40I remembered us talking about living in that warehouse loft again someday.
10:45It seemed like a distant dream.
10:48One that was even less likely to come true than my dream of making it as a singer.
10:52Hey, Junko.
10:59Where do you think Ren's going, leaving Nana behind?
11:03What I want to know is how long you plan on staying here.
11:05They sent Ren overseas.
11:07Do you think that means Takumi went too, without telling me?
11:10And Kiyosuke too.
11:12He told you to come over and then he ran off to class.
11:14Men only think of themselves, don't they?
11:16I wonder when he's coming back.
11:17We never made up after that fight we had.
11:19Nana, you should go back to your parents.
11:23That would be the best for everyone involved.
11:25No way!
11:26Not after Nana sent me that beautiful message of encouragement.
11:30That was a message of encouragement, was it?
11:32Nana's having such a hard time, but she's making the most of it.
11:35And so should I.
11:36I shall overcome.
11:37Actually, the harder you try, the more problems you inflict on everyone around you.
11:41So just give up and start all over again.
11:43Does his cell phone still work in another country?
11:45Maybe I can still get a hold of him.
11:46And she isn't even listening to me.
11:49I can't wait to get to London.
11:51I wonder how Stella's doing.
11:54Stella?
11:54Who's that?
11:55Takumi's London lady.
11:57A lady in London?
11:58Wow, he's got a woman there?
12:00And she's blonde.
12:01A blonde?
12:02He has other women too.
12:04Yeah?
12:04He also has women.
12:05Hello, Takumi?
12:07I can't believe I got through.
12:08Uh, hello.
12:09Is something wrong?
12:10It's the man.
12:11Well, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
12:14I said mean things to you this morning.
12:17This morning?
12:22Oh.
12:24What do you mean this mess?
12:26You've got no part in this!
12:29Oh, right.
12:30That's all.
12:31I'm sorry to bother you when you're so busy with your bad stuff.
12:35Listen, Nana.
12:46I'm going to be flying to London tomorrow with the rest of the band.
12:51I'll email you the hotel's phone number so you can reach me there if you need to.
12:54They speak Japanese at the front desk, so don't worry.
12:58Tomorrow?
12:59For how long?
13:00Well, for about two weeks.
13:02Two weeks?
13:03Come on, it's not that long.
13:07Even if I stayed here, we wouldn't be able to see each other with all this crap going on.
13:11So what does it matter?
13:12But it does matter!
13:13It's not the same without you here!
13:15Oh, really?
13:17Well, anyway, that's what's going to happen.
13:20So, unfortunately, I won't be able to meet your parents as planned.
13:24Please tell them what happened, and then I'm sorry.
13:26Then maybe I'll go back to my parents' place while you're in London.
13:29I'd be lonely just staying here.
13:31Yeah, sure, you should do that.
13:34So, what is your plan, anyway?
13:36Are you going to stay there and raise the kid on your own?
13:38No, I don't want that!
13:40I made up my mind that no matter what happens, the three of us are going to be one happy family.
13:44You, me, and the baby!
13:47Huh.
13:47Just us three?
13:49We can have more kids.
13:51Come on!
13:52You don't just have babies for no reason.
13:54But please, you need to compromise a bit more, okay?
13:57For the kids' sake.
13:59Sure.
14:00Okay.
14:01So, I'll bring you back something from England.
14:04Is there anything you want?
14:05A diamond ring!
14:06Oh, yeah, that's right.
14:10I forgot I didn't get you an engagement ring yet.
14:12Do you know your size?
14:13Size four?
14:14Got it.
14:18Oh, June!
14:19He's giving me an engagement ring as a present!
14:21Congratulations.
14:22Our dreams were finally coming true.
14:27But the ideals we pursue and the reality are always locked in a stalemate.
14:32They don't get along.
14:34And nothing is ever as you imagined it would be.
14:37Huh?
14:41Want one?
14:44Nana, when you were on TV, you said something to Hachi, didn't you?
14:48Yep, I sent her a secret message that only she could understand.
14:52I've been getting tons of emails asking who Hachiko is.
14:55It's worse than the porno spam I usually get.
14:58Oh, I'm sorry.
14:59That's all right.
15:01To be safe, I told everyone it's your pet dog.
15:06I really am sorry.
15:07I keep causing trouble for you.
15:10If you hadn't become friends with me,
15:11just think of all the crazy drama you wouldn't have to deal with in your life.
15:17It's cool, though.
15:18This is what I want to be doing.
15:20Look at me.
15:21I'm living in a story where I'm getting made fun of by girls named Nana.
15:25And what story would that be?
15:28The Nobuo Diaries.
15:29So you're saying the next female character who shows up will be another Nana?
15:33I don't think I could handle another Nana.
15:35I hate to tell you this, but the truth is I can't bring myself to erase Hachi from my own story.
15:44Yeah, the same goes for me.
15:49I doubt she'll ever disappear from mine.
15:54But I got a feeling I'm probably gone from Hachi's story now.
16:00Hey, Jun, look.
16:05The moon is so beautiful tonight.
16:07You're right it is.
16:08So are you spending the night here?
16:10But it's not quite full yet.
16:11I wonder when the next full moon is.
16:13Because if you're planning on staying over, I'll tell Kyousuke to stay over to friends.
16:16What, Jun, it was the night of the full moon, and it must have been the happiest moment in my life.
16:24Which night of the full moon was that?
16:26It felt like I had everything I ever wanted close to me.
16:29My heart was full of hopes and dreams.
16:33My future was shining brightly.
16:36Even if I tried really hard, I don't think I'll feel pure happiness like that ever again.
16:46With Hachi, I believed I could do anything.
16:50But when the time came, I was hopeless.
16:54I couldn't do anything at all.
16:56I'm such a loser.
16:57The thing that I can't get over is she was really horrible to me.
17:01So why the hell can't I let go of her?
17:07Maybe you don't need to do that.
17:09Maybe there's still hope.
17:11How?
17:12All you gotta do is listen to me and follow my plan.
17:15What kind of plan?
17:17It's called Operation Get Hachiko Back.
17:20Once she's in our backyard, you can mate with her.
17:23God, you still talk about her as if she's a dog.
17:25Don't talk back.
17:27Fight like a man.
17:28I don't need you to tell me when I should fight.
17:32Hmm.
17:34My plan was simple.
17:37Keep showing Hachi our sweet dreams.
17:40And as for Blast, we just had to keep cool and look cool.
17:45And that way we'd stick around in Hachi's story.
17:47That way she'd have to come back for sure.
17:53That cold-blooded man just takes her for granted.
17:58He'll never be able to make our little Hachiko happy.
18:04Gaia plans to do everything in our power to promote you, and that's a promise.
18:08We have very high hopes for you.
18:10We're all in this together.
18:18Nana.
18:27We plan to hit number one with our first single.
18:30I think you'll enjoy the ride.
18:36Ren!
18:36Take a look.
18:51Nice tits.
18:52No, not that, you perv.
18:57Beautiful woman?
18:58The headline's ridiculous.
19:00But the rest of the article is even worse.
19:03I'm pretty sure these guys started the whole media freak show.
19:06Looks like they have a real crush on your woman, too.
19:09Who wouldn't?
19:10I know I really fell for her.
19:15It seems like Gaia was pretty eager to latch onto it, too.
19:19I've got a really bad feeling about this.
19:21Huh.
19:23Why's that?
19:23Are you returning this?
19:29Nana?
19:30Long time no see, Nakamura.
19:32When I came in to rent this, you weren't here, so I thought maybe you'd been fired.
19:36It's good to see you again.
19:38Did you come back because you missed me?
19:40Think you could overlook my late fee on this?
19:43No problem.
19:43Lucky me!
19:45I feel good today.
19:47Maybe I'll drop by the beauty salon near the station.
19:50I hope it's still there.
19:51Hello, Ms. Hachiko.
19:54Big news.
19:54Gaia's at a release date.
19:56Really?
19:57When is it?
20:00Hey, Mari.
20:01Hmm?
20:02I forgot.
20:03When's the release date for our next single?
20:06It's gonna be Wednesday, October 31st.
20:08Hey, Hachi.
20:35I know I can't be the hero in your story.
20:40I just can't do it anymore.
20:44But the heroine's name in my story is still Nana.
20:49The cute Nana.
20:51You.
20:51I know I can't do it anymore.
21:05I'm going to be able to get you.
21:09Don't let me know,
21:11I'm going to live in my way.
21:15What do you need?
21:21I can't believe myself.
21:27The answer is too close to me
21:34The shadow of me is too close to me
21:41I'm too sad to be
21:46I don't have words
21:51My body is filled with pain
21:57I can't believe that I'm not alone
22:21You
