00:08I don't know.
00:30I'm holding my face
00:32I'm holding my face
00:37Chase me
00:39I'll probably know
00:40Chase me
00:43I'll go to hell or die
00:44Tell me
00:45Tell me
00:46Now
00:47My heart
00:48Love me
00:50I'll be right back
00:51Chase me
00:53I'll probably know
00:55Chase me
00:57I'll probably know
00:59Tell me,ζγγ¦ now
01:01Kala moon, hand me
01:04Chase me,γ©γγζ»γ¬γͺγ
01:10Chase me,θ‘γγ
01:13Sino God, tell me,ζγγ¦ now
01:16Kala moon, hand me
01:19I'll take this time
01:36What do you mean, set up?
01:38Are you implying I masterminded the whole thing?
01:42There's no way I could have planned all that
01:44Who do you think I am? I'm not a god
01:47Though I guess I wasn't entirely uninvolved
01:51Well, why not?
01:53You are my brother, so I guess I'll share
01:55I got the idea from you, so it's only fair you know
01:58You got it from me?
02:00Yeah, you used love for real's controversy to get Akane on your side, remember?
02:06That helped you promote yourself, so I just copied that
02:10You caught the attention of the entire audience and then some
02:15So you know, I figured that I could do the same thing with a few small tweaks
02:22Why would you do that?
02:24Somebody once told me, be nice to assistant director
02:28They'll be directors in the future
02:31It made a lot of sense, so that's what I did
02:34However, I don't have time to wait that long
02:37I need to hit the big time
02:39As soon as I possibly can
02:43Ruby, wait!
02:47I hear you were the one who pitched this episode
02:50Thanks to you, I got through this by the skin of my teeth
02:53How can I ever repay you?
02:55Hmm
02:56Well, if you want to repay the favor
02:59Use me and your projects
03:01As much as you can
03:03There's no need to win over ADs
03:06I can just go straight for the director
03:08Oh, manipulation
03:09You got the show in trouble on purpose
03:12Just so you could get the director on your side
03:14A coincidence
03:16When I was doing research for my pitch to get on the show
03:19I found out that there were issues with the show's production methods
03:25And I knew a magnet for controversy
03:27So I suggested bringing her on
03:30Maya's done this kind of thing a few times before
03:34If anyone gets on her bad side
03:36She calls them out on her socials and sticks her fans on them
03:40I had a feeling she'd do it again
03:43But isn't Maya your friend?
03:45What?
03:46Of course she's not
03:47I hate blabbermouths like her
03:50Leaks and whistleblowing can make the world a better place
03:54But now people just use them to call out individuals they have a grudge against
03:59And then you have online mobs jumping on the hate train of whomever's getting cancelled
04:03Just for fun
04:06Both sides are messed up
04:09They made mom's life hell too
04:11Someone uploaded a pick-up her with an old classmate she'd just run into
04:15And people just assumed he was her boyfriend
04:17They jumped to conclusions
04:19Invented messed up stories in their heads
04:22And started calling her a slut
04:25How good am I though, right?
04:27I vetted all the info I can find out on Maya
04:29And gave her a chance to talk things out
04:32I mean she was totally in the right
04:34She helped improve the industry
04:36People will treat cosplayers with much more respect from now on
04:39Minami got to appear on a show with lots of eyeballs too
04:43And Arushibara turned over a new leaf
04:45Nobody was hurt
04:48So why?
04:49Why do you look so disappointed?
04:53Was what I did really all that wrong?
04:56Sure I gave it a little push
04:58But this was always gonna happen
05:00It just coincidentally played out exactly the way I hoped it would
05:05I'm lucky
05:06Maybe the gods really do love me after all
05:10You're happy?
05:13You're okay with this?
05:15I thought you hated lies and manipulation
05:19More than anything
05:21Didn't you want to be true to yourself and others?
05:24And aim to be an idol with love and passion?
05:28Is this really the kind of idol you wanted to become?
05:31Sure you copied my path
05:33But my method will only bring you
05:35Hey Aqua
05:37Mom was a liar too, remember?
05:39She covered up her own kids to continue being an idol
05:44Love and passion aren't enough to make it in this business
05:49And it's looking like this kind of thing is more up my alley anyway
05:54Just watch me
05:55I'll take the spotlight soon
06:09And she was right
06:11Work started to pour in for Ruby soon after
06:21Bye Minami
06:23I'm off to work
06:24Okay
06:25Have a good one
06:30A panel of nine writers, producers, entertainers, and other experts
06:36Gather to present the Women's Idol Awards
06:38Which go to the year's hottest stars
06:40The Newcomer of the Year Award went to Ruby Hoshino of B. Komachi
06:45B. Komachi is a reboot of a legendary group that broke up over a decade ago
06:52Naturally, when people look at Ruby, they tend to see a bit of eye in her
06:55The star who lost her life to a deranged fan at her peak
07:00Some wonder if she may even surpass eye
07:02Which is far too much to expect
07:04Yet, she has the potential
07:06She first attracted attention on the show Dig Deep, Chase the Impossible
07:11Which gained many viewers six months ago when it had its big cosplay controversy
07:17She boasts gorgeous good looks and a silly scatterbrained gimmick
07:21But it's her savvy communication and her ad-libbing skills that make her a hot commodity in the industry
07:27Her brother Aqua is also an up-and-coming actor
07:31And the two stunning twins are making more guest appearances as of late
07:36B. Komachi is also popular online
07:40Six months ago, they had 300,000 subscribers
07:43But now that number's on the cusp of hitting a million
07:48Pulling Triple Ruby as a media influencer, idol, and TV entertainer
07:52Ruby is truly a star who symbolizes the Reiwa era
07:57In an interview, she said this
07:59B. Komachi and I had their dream taken from them
08:03But we'll make it come true
08:04B. Komachi will perform at the Tokyo Dome
08:09We'll keep a keen eye out for what Ruby Hoshino does next
08:15Ruby's become kind of a big deal, huh? That's nice
08:18Yeah, I mean, she's always had the looks
08:21Debuting with a major agency would have made it much bigger for her earlier
08:28Ruby's rise over the past six months has been eye-popping
08:33This exponential subscriber growth is entirely because of Ruby's popularity
08:39It's really something
08:40The group's subcount beat my channels in such a short amount of time
08:45It almost makes me wonder what I put in all that work for
08:50Memcho
08:50Hey, it's bittersweet, but it's all good
08:53I laid the groundwork for all this growth, after all
09:00I guess this is just how a star is born
09:04What do we do about today's video?
09:06Ruby's out on a shoot, so she said she would be a little late
09:10We'll just have to wait
09:13The comments get nasty when she's not in a video
09:18Yeah, Ruby's booked that entire day
09:20She's available in the AM on the 22nd or the 26th
09:24Right
09:25Oh, okay
09:26I'll see if I can make it work
09:35You seem to have a lot on your plate
09:38It's never ending
09:39There's so much happening all at once
09:42My brain's about to explode
09:43Schedule adjustments, meetings, B2Bs, contracts
09:47Then I have to go drinking with the station head later
09:50I'm so glad that we brought in Yoshizumi
09:53Without him, I would have died of overwork
09:57Shun Yoshizumi, the AD from the production company
10:00Left his job to become Ruby's manager
10:04I don't know how she talked him into it when he seemed so passionate about TV
10:09But, Ruby now has the clout to influence other people's careers
10:14One word from her is enough to get people to quit their current jobs
10:19I wish I could accompany Ruby to her appointments
10:23I can't help her when things go south
10:25If I'm not actually there with her
10:28Why don't you close your eyes and rest a bit?
10:30I'll wake you up when it's time to go, okay?
10:33Yeah, thanks
10:35I have always been better suited to hands-on work
10:39After Ichigo left, I took over his role because I had to
10:43But I get exposed by busy periods like this
10:46On shows where major agencies would land main roles
10:50I can only get us guest appearances
10:52I'm lacking connections and experience so they look down on me
10:57Our agency's on the verge of producing a star and I'm holding her back
11:01I'll fail her
11:02You know that's not true
11:04Ruby's getting work left and right
11:06That's all just luck
11:09Seriously
11:11We've been getting so lucky
11:12It almost feels like someone's orchestrating it
11:19I'm getting a lot of visitors lately
11:21How'd you find me?
11:24Ruby disappears on her days off without saying where she's going
11:27So I thought I'd follow her
11:29You've grown up to be real weird about your sister
11:32You're the one putting all those ideas in her head
11:36Aren't you?
11:37And that's not all
11:39You're getting her jobs too
11:41I'll never forgive you for leaving Miyako high and dry after I was murdered
11:46But
11:48I'm starting to think you're still clinging to the dream of the Tokyo Dome
11:53To the place where you both were supposed to stand
12:00I'm guessing you want to get back into idle management
12:04Wrong
12:06Yeah, I'm helping Ruby out with her work
12:09I'm getting jobs from people I did favors for
12:12And people who sympathize with me because of what we went through with I
12:15I still have connections after all
12:17But really, I'm doing this because I feel awful for what I did to Miyako
12:23And for being a coward
12:24I'm not clinging on to anything
12:27If you still care so much about Miyako
12:30Why don't you just come back to Strawberry Productions
12:33Instead of sneaking around
12:35I've got unfinished business
12:36I can't drag her into it
12:40What do you mean?
12:42You of all people should know
12:45I need to murder the bastard who did that to I
12:49But you were just her agent
12:51You weren't family or anything
12:52Why go that far?
13:15She may have been your mother
13:17And while she wasn't technically family
13:19She was like a daughter to me
13:21I cared for her deeply
13:24I see
13:27I get it
13:29That's why I went to the showbiz too
13:34The mastermind was someone close to my mother
13:38So I thought joining her business would get me closer to the truth
13:43Ichigo, here's the answer I found
13:46The man who murdered my mom died long ago
13:56I met someone who I shared paternal DNA with
14:00Our dad was Seijuro Uehara
14:02And he's already gone
14:04That means
14:05Our quest for revenge is finally over
14:08There's no need to continue down this path
14:13Kid
14:15Are you serious?
14:17I recall that incident well
14:20I remember when it happened and where I was
14:23I was having a prep meeting with Ai for the Tokyo Dome concert
14:27Uehara responsible for Ai's murder?
14:31That's impossible
14:32He died way before you guys even moved
14:35How could a dead guy have known your new address?
14:38The timeline makes no sense
14:41But the DNA test
14:43Did you consider the possibility of paternity fraud?
14:46Come on Aqua
14:47The mother could have had the kid with a man other than her husband
14:50It could have been a murder-suicide
14:53Caused by an enraged husband
14:55Who just found out about his wife's adultery
14:58But why are you so convinced
15:00That your dad was the mastermind in the first place?
15:03Someone at the agency could have leaked the address too
15:05This is far from over
15:07You're not even close
15:09From what I remember
15:11You've always been an intelligent kid
15:12If you'd thought about it for one second
15:15You would have realized this yourself
15:16And yet
15:18You've got it wrong
15:22You're overlooking something crucial
15:24Something crucial?
15:26What's that?
15:26I don't know!
15:28There's gotta be something!
15:30He's dead!
15:35This can't be right
15:36I was sure it was all over
15:38Finally!
15:39It's over right!
15:41Please!
15:42It can't be!
15:45It can't!
15:46My bad
15:47That was all just hypothetical
15:50You go home
15:51And get some rest
16:06I've decided
16:07To start dating Akane for real
16:15I need you to let me off here
16:26Liar
16:26There's no way
16:28It was supposed to be over
16:30She's already been avenged
16:33If not, then...
16:35Isn't that great?
16:36We have our goal back again
16:39We can be driven by hatred alone
16:41We can find the guy who murdered Ai for real this time
16:45And put him through all the suffering
16:47This world has to offer
16:51I deserve to suffer
16:53I have no right to enjoy my life
16:56After letting Ai die before me
16:58This is punishment
17:00Retribution
17:01No!
17:02I am finally
17:04Got the chance to live my life
17:06The peace you've had lately
17:07Was just a passing dream
17:09Forget about it
17:10After all
17:11We haven't put an end to anything yet
17:14Take revenge
17:16Get payback
17:17Think of what I went through
17:20Akla!
17:22Akla!
17:41What did I...
17:42What did I do to make you hate me so much?
17:47I'm so stupid
17:49I didn't have a clue
17:52I'm...
17:52I'm sorry
18:21Hello, Aqua?
18:23Is now a good time to talk?
18:26Oh. You've got the Japan Film Awards ceremony tomorrow, right?
18:30Yeah, but I'm just one of several recipients of the award.
18:35Still, it's a red carpet event. I'm getting nervous.
18:38Even you still get nervous sometimes.
18:41Well, of course I do.
18:45So, can we meet up tomorrow night? If you're free?
18:49It'll be quite late because there's a wrap party, but I want you to see the dress I'll be wearing.
18:54Sorry. I kinda don't feel like seeing anyone right now.
19:01Oh, is that so? No worries. If things get too overwhelming, I'm here for you.
19:08Thanks, Akane.
19:10Bye.
19:13Aqua had been in good spirits lately, too.
19:15According to Ruby, he wasn't always this gloomy.
19:20I bet things changed after their mom's death.
19:24Aqua has horrific panic attacks whenever he remembers her.
19:28His childhood scars always remain with him, almost like a curse.
19:34Now that he's free from avenging his mother, his guilt seems to be fading gradually.
19:39And he's becoming the person he was always meant to be.
19:44I can't help but hope that he remains oblivious and lives a peaceful life.
19:51Then I'm sure, Aqua will.
19:54With the acting chops cultivated by her years in theater,
19:58Akane Kurekawa has shown brightly in a variety of roles and productions.
20:02Congratulations on winning the Rookie Actor Award.
20:07I'm just so happy.
20:10You're crying more than I am.
20:14Aqua?
20:16No, it couldn't be.
20:19Wow!
20:20The flowers from the agency are so huge!
20:23Yeah, they sure are amazing.
20:25Ah, the one from La La Lai is tiny.
20:28Hey, times are tough for us theater groups, okay?
20:32White roses? And who is this from?
20:35An old member of La La Lai.
20:37He now runs an agency of his own.
20:39And sends flowers anytime we're involved.
20:42All kinds of people are congratulating me.
20:45Never forget Akane. Always stay grateful.
20:49Of course!
20:50Man, who'da thought Akane would make such a rapid rise to stardom?
20:55Well, it's all thanks to Kendaichi's coaching.
20:58Oh, please.
20:59She's always had the skills, but in this business,
21:01you need to make a positive impression on the influential people with casting powers,
21:06or it's hard to land lead roles.
21:08President, your decision to put her on TV no matter what is now paying off.
21:13It seemed like an awful call at first, didn't it?
21:16But ever since Love for Real, her public persona did a complete 180.
21:20What is it? The look in her eyes?
21:23She's usually so gentle, but when the cameras are on her,
21:26her eyes take on a glint like no other.
21:29You see people with eyes like that every once in a while.
21:33Eyes that trick people.
21:35The power to make lies seem like truths.
21:38For an actor, they are the ultimate gift.
21:44We've had one of those before.
21:46Really? Who was it?
21:48The one who sent you those white roses.
21:51He was one of our best actors.
21:53I'd love to watch him.
21:55Do we have any footage?
21:59There's probably something in the oldest rehearsal video playlists.
22:09He looks just like him.
22:14Aqua thought the mastermind was part of La La Lai.
22:19It was a guess he made based on the workshop I took part in before she got pregnant.
22:23But that's not very conclusive.
22:28What if Taiki Himekawa isn't actually Seijito's biological son,
22:32but another man's child?
22:36Taiki Himekawa and Aqua's biological father
22:40could have very well been part of La La Lai since Seijito and Aide were two.
22:45Plus,
22:47His style of acting is eerily similar to A's.
22:52If A did indeed learn how to act directly from him,
22:56why has no one ever mentioned that?
23:01It was all covered up.
23:04White roses.
23:05The flowers the stalker had when he stabbed A were also white roses.
23:11Somebody told a rabid fan that I had children,
23:14enraging him.
23:15He gave him A's address and incited the murder.
23:20He was the one who set the stage for it all to happen.
23:23A's recreated emotions are stirring inside of me.
23:29If it was him,
23:31I can see why I kept her partner a secret.
23:34And why he used someone else to commit the murder.
23:38More than anything, his face...
23:42Him and Aqua...
23:44Looked so much alike.
23:47Hikaru Kamiki.
23:49When I got pregnant at 16,
23:52he was only 15 years old.
24:08He was only 15 years old.
24:11He was also a young man.
24:12He had no one who set it up.
24:15I'm 25,000 for a while.
24:19I'm 25,000.
24:19I was 20,000 for a while.
24:20He never had no one.
24:21He was with us so many years old.
24:24So many were them who had been a full-time dream for me.
24:41I'll see you next time.
24:55Oh
25:25I don't tell it, I don't
