00:00I realized the way she talked was like the way she sang.
00:07Her rhythm wasn't much different than that annoying thing Takumi does when he stretches out the last word in his monologues.
00:13They sounded the same.
00:15Just like how I started to sound like Ren before I even knew it.
00:30Baby, I'm standing alone. That's when the rain is in.
00:36I don't think I get walking and it's over.
00:41It's not my own inside, let me lie. I scream like I'm trying to cry.
00:47Just like how I get your sorrow. Please please God.
00:52It's me when I shoot her. I don't need to hide her no more.
00:57I don't need to hide her no more. I don't need to hide her no more.
01:04You got a chance now. You got a power.
01:07It's through your days now. To yourself.
01:10Show you my life now. Show you my love now. Show you my everything.
01:15Change now. You better catch now.
01:18I wanna mess your videos now. Show you my strength now.
01:22Show you my love now. Show you my everything.
01:26Yeah yeah baby don't be afraid.
01:31Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. keep going down.
01:37Yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah keep going down.
01:43To be continued...
02:13And if he's messing around with Reira while Hachi waits at home cooking, that's just messed up.
02:19Damn. I feel that scab on my heart peeling off again.
02:26I thought those miserable days were over, when I'd think of nothing but Hachi 24-7.
02:31But it all rushes back to me whenever I see Takami's smug, arrogant face.
02:37I was such a wimp. I just gave up.
02:40Right when Hachi was feeling the most helpless in her life, I made things worse for her.
02:48The interview will last about three minutes. Please start by introducing yourself and the other band members.
02:53Okay.
02:54After that, we'll ask a few things about your future plans. All those questions are the same as what we went over with you earlier.
02:59Yeah, thank you. I think I got it.
03:01Hey, could you do me a favor and ask her what she thinks of me? I'd really like to know the truth.
03:05Yes, we'd definitely like to discuss that with you.
03:09What the hell? You're harmonizing?
03:12Nana, you can't talk back to the VJs like that. And when you're on the air, please don't say too much. You know, just be cool.
03:18Whatever. It's not my fault Ren said something stupid.
03:22Aren't you going to eat something, Nobu?
03:23I don't know how you can eat right before the show.
03:25Oh, are you nervous, Nobu? That's so cute.
03:28Leave me alone.
03:29I was nervous, too. Anybody would be if it was their first time on a TV show with a live audience.
03:36Okay, people. Thirty seconds until the opening.
03:38I couldn't stop thinking about all those people sitting at home watching me. It was scary.
03:44Twenty seconds.
03:46So I closed my eyes and imagined her.
03:50Hachi watching over me in her room before it was empty.
03:54Ten seconds. Eight. Seven.
03:59It was my own little trick to get rid of my anxiety.
04:02But she must have thrown that old TV out a long time ago.
04:06Coming up next is music studio. And it's live!
04:09That was her! She looked right into the camera and totally smiled at me. Did you see her, June? Did you?
04:14Well, I wouldn't exactly say she was smiling at you specifically.
04:18And you're totally blocking the TV.
04:20Oh!
04:20Have you forgotten that your own husband is on this show, too?
04:25I don't care about Takumi. I see him all the time. Sometimes too much of him.
04:29So you're already sick of him.
04:31It's not that. It's just he's such a different person when he's on these sorts of shows.
04:35It's kind of embarrassing because I feel like I don't even know him.
04:38First you were a big fan of that rock star persona, and now you talk about him like he's family.
04:42Well, yeah, obviously.
04:44I mean, after all, Takumi is the closest person I have in my life right now.
04:47In a similar way, Blast has been like your family, too.
04:50But you still get all crazy and start screaming like a diehard fan whenever you see the guru.
04:55It's so annoying.
04:57That's because I can only watch Nana from a distance.
05:00There's nothing I can do but worry about her and cheer her on.
05:03I guess that's a lot like being a fan, but it really makes me sad.
05:07Well, I'm sure she's been pretty busy lately, so I doubt she has the time to be looking after you.
05:13I know, but I don't need her to look after me.
05:17I'm just sad because she doesn't have to depend on me.
05:21The countdown started.
05:23We're about to go live.
05:25I gotta act cool and calm to let Hachi know she doesn't need to worry.
05:29Good evening! I'm your host, Che Takahashi!
05:31And I'm Tsuyoshi Morishita!
05:33Hey, see that host with big tits? She's having an affair with the other guy.
05:37Her boobs have got to be implants.
05:40Are you watching it in here?
05:41You have a TV in your room, don't you?
05:43Yeah, but I want to see Blast on a big screen.
05:46Is that Nobu?
05:48For the first time ever on music studio, the Black Stones!
05:51Yeah! Nobu, play for me!
05:53Is that him?
05:55Nobu's like the coolest guy ever.
05:57Really? Isn't he just the normal one in the band?
05:59Usually the guys I see are all tough and macho.
06:02So a guy who's pure and wholesome like Nobu can really turn me on.
06:07Don't pervert him into another one of your bad boys, okay?
06:09Well, look who's talking.
06:11You've done it with him. How was he?
06:13I haven't done anything with him.
06:19But you two are always hanging around together like you're really close.
06:22It's not what you think it is.
06:23I bet you didn't know he's only 20.
06:25Huh?
06:26He's way too young for me.
06:27He's still just a kid.
06:29So he's only two years younger than me.
06:30I thought he was much younger than that.
06:32This could work.
06:34Once the show started, Ren went all cool and mature.
06:39Word has it that you guys are getting ready to release your first single.
06:42Pretty much.
06:43And when will it be on sale?
06:45Of course he didn't cut me off saying anything stupid.
06:49He can switch so easily into the role of Trap Nest, Ren.
06:53It's better than if he acted like a clown, but it's still weird and robotic.
06:57All right, it's time to hear some music.
07:00First up, the Black Stones.
07:02I want to smash it to pieces.
07:10Anything.
07:12Everything.
07:15Trap Nest's fake expressions.
07:18The VJs painted on smiles.
07:21Their diplomatic questions prepared ahead of time.
07:23It's like we're monkeys dancing for the crowd.
07:27What a lame-ass show.
07:30But I'm a part of it.
07:33I'm getting paid to play the part of the media creation known as Nana from Blast.
07:39I guess in this world you can't do what you want and expect to get paid for it.
07:43My life has always been a B-movie.
07:50Go ahead.
07:52Make whatever you want out of my sordid past.
07:55Spread all sorts of rumors.
07:57But I have to write my own script.
08:05It's up to me to give it a bright future.
08:09I'm no longer that helpless girl who was left behind.
08:18Marry me.
08:19We never talked about a formal thing like marriage before.
08:24It wasn't even an issue.
08:27But if we want to keep playing our parts and be together,
08:31that is one way to do it.
08:35Proposing to me was Ren's way of trying to be responsible.
08:40We'll make an announcement to the public.
08:42We really love each other and we're getting married to prove it.
08:45Some of the die-hard fans will freak out and get mad.
08:51But most people will accept it as a love story with a happy ending.
08:58Everything has turned into a show now, hasn't it?
09:03But I'm alright with that.
09:05The truth is,
09:06I couldn't live another day without being able to see Ren.
09:13And now it's time to introduce tonight's final guest.
09:15It's been a while since their last appearance,
09:17but here they are, Trapnest!
09:18Yeah, Takumi!
09:20Your new song, Shadow of Love,
09:22delves into the theme of trust between lovers.
09:24Is that right?
09:25Yes.
09:25I'm fortunate enough to have already heard this song.
09:28How do you consistently come up with such heartfelt lyrics?
09:32Heartfelt?
09:32I mean, Trapnest's music is good,
09:34but the lyrics are pretty contrived.
09:36When I first listen to the music,
09:38all kinds of images just pop into my head.
09:40And then the words start pouring out one after another.
09:43It's almost as if the song's right themselves.
09:45That's amazing!
09:46I can't do it!
09:48When we come back, we'll hear Shadow of Love.
09:51What's up with that?
09:52Takumi didn't even get to talk.
09:53I wanted to see him get all high and mighty.
09:55That's too bad.
09:56Up till then, I was so blown away by Rara's voice.
10:00I never really paid attention to her lyrics.
10:03But after she explained how she wrote them
10:05with some kind of divine intervention,
10:07I decided to really listen.
10:10But it was just another song about an affair.
10:14My suspicion of Takumi and Rara grew stronger and stronger.
10:19After the broadcast, I grabbed Ren and interrogated him.
10:22No way.
10:24It just isn't possible.
10:26What do you mean?
10:27How can you be sure?
10:28Don't know.
10:29But Takumi told me nothing's going on.
10:31And he's one of those guys who stands by his word.
10:33You expect me to believe what he said?
10:35There's nothing to worry about.
10:37I've got to get changed and head out now.
10:38So if you want to talk about this more,
10:40let's cover it next time.
10:42And when will next time be?
10:43Who knows?
10:50But before you were all about wanting to get married!
10:54Huh?
10:55Then you'll marry me?
10:56Huh?
11:03I'll have to discuss it with the agency first.
11:06You can't just do whatever you want either, can you?
11:08Why is it that we need to get someone else's consent
11:15and a piece of paper to love each other?
11:20This world can be such a pain in the ass.
11:22They had the two hottest bands
11:27that everyone's been gossiping about in the same room,
11:29but they didn't bring it up once.
11:31That was boring.
11:32It's not like it was one of those tabloid talk shows.
11:35I wonder if Blast's going to be coming back later tonight.
11:37Well, of course, I really mean no, boo.
11:39He did say that this show was all they had today.
11:42Really?
11:42When they get back,
11:43we should totally invite them to play Mahjong!
11:45Mahjong?
11:45I guess they're all complete Mahjong freaks.
11:48I read it in a magazine interview.
11:50I love Mahjong!
11:51Hmm.
11:52That'd be fun.
11:54But it's obvious what you're after.
11:56Well, I'm not going to take a backseat
11:57to some closet pervert
11:59who secretly videotapes everything.
12:01Yeah, yeah.
12:02Mm-mm-mm-mm.
12:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:05They'll say no for sure.
12:07It's easy to say I'll go and talk to the agency,
12:09but the president is scary.
12:11And there's no way I can convince Ginpei either.
12:14Nana.
12:15We've got our advance from Gaia today.
12:18Get a cell phone.
12:18That way you can text message Ren every once in a while.
12:22But if I talk this over with Yasu,
12:24I know he'll help me out.
12:26I can do anything with Yasu by my side.
12:30Seriously, Nana,
12:31you need a cell phone for work,
12:32so get one!
12:33Why are you so against them anyway?
12:35What's the big deal?
12:36I'm sure it'll be harder for Ren
12:38to wait for messages that only come sporadically.
12:40When you own a cell phone,
12:42you just get whipped around.
12:45Whipped by who?
12:47Hachi or that girl next door?
12:50You're the social one,
12:51so you better not start hating cell phones too.
12:54I won't bug you anymore.
12:56Please, just find someone to be happy with...
12:58soon.
13:00Nana looked kinda depressed to me.
13:02Really?
13:03I thought she looked like she was relaxed.
13:05Yeah, but whenever she wasn't talking,
13:06she looked out of it.
13:08Whoa, you really are observant.
13:10I was more concerned for Nobu.
13:11He didn't even smile once during the whole show.
13:13But who could blame him?
13:14I mean, he was stuck on a show with Takumi.
13:18I got a text message from Nobu the other day.
13:21What? You did?
13:22He wanted to get together and talk to me one last time.
13:25I broke up with him
13:26without even telling him why I did it.
13:29But I didn't know what to say to him,
13:30and that was a whole month ago.
13:32It'd just be weird if I replied to him now.
13:35You mean you never explained
13:36the whole situation to him?
13:37I should have figured as much.
13:39But it's probably best he didn't reply.
13:42It'd be worse if you were subconsciously leading him on.
13:45But after ignoring him for this long,
13:47he'd have to give up and move on.
13:50But the truth is, June,
13:52even now my heart aches
13:53whenever I think about Shoji.
13:56Hold on!
13:57Why did you suddenly change the subject to Shoji?
13:59Because
14:00now that I think back to when he started
14:02seeing that other girl
14:03and what made him cheat on me in the first place,
14:06I just wish I knew why things ended the way they did.
14:13What difference does it make now?
14:14It's not like I want anything from him.
14:16It's just that because I still don't know what really happened,
14:19all those happy times I spent with him
14:21have become nothing but painful memories.
14:23I don't know what's real
14:24and what's a lie anymore.
14:26I can't just take away the pain I feel
14:28from being betrayed by someone I really trusted.
14:33I'm worried that maybe Nobu is carrying sad feelings around with him too,
14:36just like me.
14:37Even if he has already moved on
14:39and found another girlfriend.
14:41And I'm sure now that both their bands are doing well,
14:44he'll probably be running into Takumi a lot.
14:45If I could just meet up with him,
14:47I could tell him that I really did love him,
14:49even though I chose Takumi in the end.
14:51At least then our relationship might have some sense of closure to it
14:55and there wouldn't be any more bad feelings.
14:58But maybe that would only make me feel better.
15:01Maybe I'd only be hurting him more.
15:03What do you think I should do, June?
15:05That's a complicated question if I've ever heard one.
15:08I told her to do what she felt was right,
15:11but I'm kind of worried.
15:12Come to think of it,
15:13Shoji did want to explain things to her.
15:15Remember?
15:16Maybe we shouldn't have stopped him.
15:17Yeah, maybe.
15:18I know that everyone's different
15:19and there aren't really any right answers.
15:21I just tend to go off about things like I know everything.
15:24I'm partly responsible for this mess
15:26and that really sucks.
15:28From now on,
15:29I'll never give another piece of advice
15:31to anyone about their relationships.
15:33I don't want to turn into some nosy old lady.
15:35Well, you already have been acting like an old lady.
15:37Maybe, because I've been hanging around
15:39with an old man too much.
15:40Hey, Kyousuke Junko, you're here.
15:43That makes it sound like
15:44they're a superhero couple.
15:45Well, well, speak of the devil.
15:47Were you two talking smack again?
15:49I hardly ever see you hanging out here, Sachiko.
15:51True, but I just got paid,
15:53so I figured why not treat myself to a night out?
15:55Shoji!
15:56How dare you go around blowing money
15:57when Sachiko has to penny pinch to get by?
15:59And you changed your hair again, fancy pants.
16:01How much did that cost?
16:03Actually, I'm the one who took him to the stylist.
16:05I'm sorry.
16:06You shouldn't listen to what that nosy old lady has to say.
16:09So anyway, did you guys hear
16:11they're having the fireworks festival
16:12by the river tomorrow night?
16:14What?
16:14Fireworks at this time of year?
16:16Remember how they were canceled
16:17because of that huge typhoon we had
16:18earlier in the summer?
16:19Yeah.
16:20Well, a lot of people must have complained about that,
16:22so they decided to have it now.
16:24The fireworks start at 6.15 sharp.
16:26If you're free,
16:27what do you say the four of us go together?
16:29Oh, sorry.
16:30I have to work.
16:31So do I.
16:32Cool.
16:32Then we'll actually be able to enjoy ourselves.
16:34Then I'm sure Nana's free.
16:35She might want to go...
16:36Don't tell her!
16:37What if we accidentally bump into her?
16:39Yeah, so what if you do?
16:41You're both adults.
16:42You deal with it.
16:46No way!
16:52How come you're so good, Mew?
16:53It's not fair.
16:55I don't know.
16:56Maybe because I played a mysterious,
16:58invincible woman in a Mahjong movie the other day.
17:00So you do stuff like that
17:02to get into the various roles you play?
17:04That is so cool!
17:05Yeah, well, in my next video,
17:06I start as the nurse in an all-boys boarding school.
17:09Want to help me rehearse, Nobu?
17:11School nurse?
17:13This sucks.
17:14Hey, don't leave the table just because you're not winning.
17:16What are you, baby?
17:17Yeah, yeah, whatever.
17:19You must avenge me, Yasu.
17:21Aren't you going to play Nana?
17:22Maybe a little later.
17:23I'm at a good part right now.
17:25I'm not sure what Nobu's thinking,
17:26but Yuri's practically stripping naked
17:28and jumping on top of him right now.
17:30I've got to stay out of it.
17:31Just keep to myself.
17:35Hey, Nobu, do you have a girlfriend?
17:42No, I had one, but she dumped me.
17:44Oh, then you must be pretty lonely.
17:46Yes.
17:47Well, I'd sure like to comfort you.
17:51You know, Yuri, I'm pretty lonely, too.
17:53What the hell are you saying, Baldi?
17:55Hey, I was just kidding.
17:56How about a threesome?
17:57No way!
17:58No way!
18:00Hold on, Nobuo.
18:01Why are you talking like Hachi?
18:03Uh-oh, this is bad.
18:05Yuri is starting to look more and more like Hachi.
18:07Even their hairstyles are kind of similar.
18:10Hey, Yasu.
18:11Do you know what our schedule is tomorrow?
18:13Ginpei told us on our way back, remember?
18:15In the morning, we've got an interview for TV.
18:18In the afternoon, there's a photo shoot for some new posters.
18:20At 6, we have a magazine interview,
18:22and then at 10, we're on a live radio show.
18:25That's a rough schedule.
18:26Maybe we should let you guys go and get some sleep.
18:28No, I will not let you run off with all the glory.
18:31I must have been sheen.
18:33That's big talk from a man who is about to lose.
18:35Do you think it'd be possible to cancel the interview at 6?
18:39What the hell's wrong with you?
18:40I mean, can't we reschedule it to another day?
18:41No!
18:43But Hachi just invited us all to the fireworks festival.
18:50Hachi?
18:50Who's that?
19:04Nobuo!
19:05You'll go, right?
19:09I mean, well, I'll go.
19:10No, please, calm down.
19:12You can't!
19:13You've got work, right?
19:14It's a magazine interview.
19:15I'm sure they'll reschedule if you ask them to.
19:17But they can't go out altogether.
19:18Everyone will recognize them.
19:20They'll stick out.
19:21That's not a problem.
19:22All they have to do is wear disguises.
19:24Sheen, text her back right now!
19:26Text what?
19:27Meet us at 6 in room 707.
19:29It's been almost two months since I've been there.
19:31There won't be any paparazzi hanging around.
19:33It's not a dream, Hachi.
19:49We can laugh and be together just like before.
19:55We can start over.
19:58Please, let me start over.
20:00Let's go back to that summer day and rewrite a bright and happy ending to our story.
20:07Oh, hey, Takumi.
20:13Huh?
20:15There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
