Hikaru Kamiki.
01:34.220 --> 01:36.500
When Ai got pregnant at sixteen,
01:36.500 --> 01:38.720
he was a fifteen-year-old middle schooler.
01:39.640 --> 01:43.380
And you'd have to go even further back,
to twenty years ago.
01:43.650 --> 01:47.800
So Himekawa-san was conceived
when he was... eleven?
01:50.850 --> 01:52.740
Oh my god.
01:54.280 --> 01:59.870
Showbiz has a checkered history with
tons of revolting scandals like this one.
02:00.470 --> 02:05.080
It's a world of beauty and glamour,
but it also has a dark, ugly side.
02:06.570 --> 02:11.170
I guess this is why they say
to let the sleeping dead lie.
02:11.910 --> 02:15.910
Even if Kamiki is the mastermind
and is forced to confess,
02:15.910 --> 02:19.800
he would've been a minor at the time,
so he wouldn't get jail time.
02:20.620 --> 02:25.990
Should Aqua-kun find him, he'll have
no way to legally bring him to justice.
02:26.310 --> 02:31.940
Meaning the only way for him to get
revenge will be with his own two hands.
02:32.700 --> 02:36.410
I can't let Aqua-kun and Kamiki
make contact, no matter what.
02:36.880 --> 02:38.940
I'll have to deal with this myself.

02:39.870 --> 02:43.320
Do you know what time
rehearsal is tomorrow?
02:39.870 --> 02:43.320
I think the old man said
it'd be later in the day
02:39.870 --> 02:43.320
So around 4 PM? Got it.
Thank you very much!
02:40.280 --> 02:43.330
Today
02:40.280 --> 02:43.330
Can we meet up for a chat?
There's something I'd like to ask you
02:41.550 --> 02:43.330
This is ultimately just guesswork.
02:42.360 --> 02:43.330
If we can do it near the studio, sure
02:43.840 --> 02:46.540
It's entirely speculation on my part.
02:46.540 --> 02:50.250
Aqua Hoshino
02:46.540 --> 02:50.250
Hikaru Kamiki
02:47.090 --> 02:50.250
But I've found the guy
who ruined Aqua-kun's life,
02:51.170 --> 02:52.870
and I'm not gonna let him get away.
02:54.920 --> 02:56.630
For now, I have to investigate.
02:57.340 --> 02:58.590
Get to the bottom of this.
03:01.310 --> 03:05.520
Hikaru Kamiki
Started an agency at 25
Was in Lalalai for six years,
from the age of 10 to 16
No details on later activity
College grad, majored
in the sciences
178cm tall
03:01.310 --> 03:05.520
Meeting Kamiki reeled in
her self-destructive urges
03:01.310 --> 03:05.520
Likely an abuser
03:01.310 --> 03:05.520
Aqua Hoshino
Been in showbiz since childhood
Thinks the target of his revenge is dead
Must not be allowed to come in contact
03:12.540 --> 03:14.980
Hello, Aqua-kun?
03:15.470 --> 03:17.240
You sound sleepy.
03:18.490 --> 03:22.460
I've had to walk around
a lot lately, so I'm exhausted.
03:22.870 --> 03:26.130
I thought you were on break
until your next shoot started.
03:26.130 --> 03:27.370
What are you up to?
03:27.690 --> 03:31.000
Oh, uh... I'm trying to lose weight!
03:31.000 --> 03:32.580
That part's true.
03:32.580 --> 03:36.010
Why? You're plenty slim already.
03:36.010 --> 03:40.640
Okay, but I'm pretty sure
you'd hate it if I put on weight.
03:41.610 --> 03:43.940
I love you however you are, Akane.
03:51.000 --> 03:54.190
I knew I made the right choice.
03:54.970 --> 03:57.460
I'm glad I'm going out with you.
03:57.990 --> 04:00.540
Right now, I feel like the
luckiest girl in the world.
04:01.280 --> 04:02.340
Akane.
04:04.120 --> 04:07.660
Meeting you has been nothing
but a positive for my life.
04:09.460 --> 04:13.840
You know what I'm like, but you
accepted me and stood by me.
04:15.340 --> 04:17.770
You told me when things weren't okay,
04:18.770 --> 04:21.600
and little by little, you gave me hope.
04:22.650 --> 04:26.840
It's made me reluctant to let go
of the times I'm spending with you.
04:30.040 --> 04:31.730
What should I do?
04:32.730 --> 04:34.650
You decide for me.
04:34.650 --> 04:38.230
Should I just forget everything
and try to live my own life?
04:39.900 --> 04:41.090
Or should I...
04:41.610 --> 04:44.330
What should I do, Akane?
04:44.330 --> 04:46.200
That's not right, Aqua-kun.
04:46.480 --> 04:48.890
You need to make your own decisions.
04:49.540 --> 04:54.360
I don't own you, and you don't own me.
04:54.770 --> 04:58.420
This only works if we're two independent
people choosing to be together.
04:58.890 --> 05:02.110
Any other kind of relationship
would just be an addiction.
05:03.490 --> 05:04.390
But...
05:04.980 --> 05:09.970
Once you've made your choice,
I'll help you as much as you want.
05:10.600 --> 05:12.220
I know I've told you this before.
05:12.780 --> 05:14.810
I want to help carry your burdens—
05:15.140 --> 05:17.140
together with you.
05:20.600 --> 05:22.510
Thanks, Akane.
05:23.960 --> 05:27.930
Aqua-kun's still being held prisoner
by his mother's death.
05:27.930 --> 05:31.360
But I know the day will come
when he's freed from it,
05:32.110 --> 05:34.210
and I won't let anyone
get in the way of that.
05:34.640 --> 05:37.620
I'm sure it'll happen soon, Aqua-kun.
05:41.540 --> 05:44.640
What's wrong?
You've got a face like a wet weekend.
05:44.640 --> 05:48.140
It's my VTuber sister...
05:48.140 --> 05:52.820
People found a video from back
when she streamed with her real face!
05:52.820 --> 05:54.850
Oh, so her past life was exposed.
05:55.800 --> 05:59.440
Eh, that's more common than you'd think.
Nothing to worry about.
05:59.440 --> 06:00.570
Well, in that video,
06:00.880 --> 06:06.780
she went off on people she hated and made
a whole bunch of problematic statements!
06:01.640 --> 06:06.140
She's got that corpo backing, right?
She's a total ****, then! Lmao!
06:07.170 --> 06:12.160
Naturally, she got mega-canceled
and has to stop streaming for a while!
06:12.160 --> 06:14.010
Yikes.
06:14.010 --> 06:14.920
Hey, I've got an idea.
06:15.290 --> 06:18.880
If her real face is out there,
she might as well join B-Komachi.
06:19.170 --> 06:22.070
She's got the looks and the gift of gab.
06:22.070 --> 06:23.660
I think it'll work out.
06:23.660 --> 06:26.170
Oh, uh, urgh...
06:26.170 --> 06:29.290
I mean, it depends on what she wants.
06:29.290 --> 06:30.510
Ask her!
06:35.480 --> 06:39.240
That girl, huh?
I'm not against it or anything,
06:39.240 --> 06:41.840
but she's a girl
with a bit of a toxic side...
06:43.100 --> 06:45.400
A similar gimmick to mine.
06:45.930 --> 06:49.660
And I'm already the least
popular B-Komachi member.
06:50.120 --> 06:57.330

but it's not like I'm in this
for the money.
06:57.720 --> 07:01.300
B-Komachi's success
is entirely down to Ruby.

Ruby, congrats
on your award!!
07:01.300 --> 07:05.260
We have interviews for mid-career
hires scheduled this month.
Please keep the office clean.
07:01.860 --> 07:05.260
I haven't landed any
acting gigs at all lately.
07:05.620 --> 07:10.850
What's more, I only get idol gigs
as part of a package deal with Ruby.
07:11.820 --> 07:16.310
I'm just an added bonus—
a hanger-on leeching off of Ruby.
07:16.680 --> 07:19.270
Is this what I wanted to do?
07:19.780 --> 07:22.980
Why did I become an idol?
07:25.560 --> 07:30.200
Rookie idol, my ass. So much for
becoming his one and only star.
07:32.840 --> 07:36.750
I feel like such an idiot.
He totally hates me.
07:41.470 --> 07:44.550
Heya, Arima! It's been ages!
07:45.130 --> 07:47.840
Actor
Mako Azami
07:48.180 --> 07:51.920
Uh, you didn't mention
it was this kind of place.
07:51.920 --> 07:53.720
Didn't I? Sorry about that.
07:54.050 --> 07:58.920
I'm an idol now. I don't think
it's a good idea for me to be here.
07:58.920 --> 08:01.220
I'm gonna head out, if you don't—
08:01.220 --> 08:03.200
What are you, some goody-two-shoes?
08:03.200 --> 08:06.320
You know a ton of idols
come drinking around these parts.
08:06.720 --> 08:10.700
Our jobs are damn stressful.
We deserve to cut loose sometimes.
08:10.700 --> 08:13.840
I saw your new music video! It was great!
08:11.170 --> 08:14.130
Heck, that girl over there
is a member of Masterpiece.
08:13.840 --> 08:16.620
Really? Thank you so much!
08:14.130 --> 08:16.040
Everybody does this, I swear.
08:16.040 --> 08:17.200
What'll you have?
08:17.200 --> 08:19.380
Uh, oolong tea, thanks.
08:19.380 --> 08:20.870
Come on, drink with me.
08:20.870 --> 08:23.630
Wait, Mako-san,
have you even hit drinking age?
08:23.630 --> 08:26.060
I feel like you were only
a year older than me.
08:26.060 --> 08:28.660
Y-Yeah, I just got there!
08:29.740 --> 08:31.660
Yikes. I call bullshit.
08:32.220 --> 08:34.810
Anyway, don't be so uptight.
08:35.160 --> 08:36.880
Here, cheers.
08:38.300 --> 08:41.230
So now I gotta drink,
or I'll be killing the vibe.
08:42.650 --> 08:44.110
Dibs.
08:45.150 --> 08:47.200
There you are, Shima!
08:47.200 --> 08:47.860
'Sup.
08:48.410 --> 08:52.450
Heard of him? He directed
Blazing Fluids and Snake Eyes.
08:52.450 --> 08:54.080
Of course I've heard of him.
08:54.080 --> 08:55.910
If I hadn't been told he was coming,
08:55.910 --> 08:59.870
I would've ignored the invite
from this depraved bitch.

Are you free rn?!
08:55.910 --> 08:59.870
I'm having dinner
in Roppongi
08:55.910 --> 08:59.870
Director Shima's
gonna join me
08:55.910 --> 08:59.870
Wanna come??
09:00.340 --> 09:01.820
Masanori Shima.
09:01.820 --> 09:06.340
He won a film award just this year.
He's the fastest-rising director around.
09:06.730 --> 09:09.670
If he takes a liking to you,
you could land an acting gig.
09:10.050 --> 09:14.640
If this guy takes a liking to me,
I could land an acting gig.
09:15.160 --> 09:19.520
That naïve hope is why
I put myself in this situation.
09:20.140 --> 09:22.010
It might not be playing fair,
09:22.010 --> 09:25.020
but in Japanese showbiz,
this is what actually works.
09:25.870 --> 09:29.210
At this point,
this is pretty much all I can do.
09:29.210 --> 09:30.780
So I'm gonna go down swinging.
09:31.260 --> 09:33.130
You're Kana Arima-san, right?
09:33.130 --> 09:36.360
I saw you in Family Breakdown.
You sure have grown up.
09:36.360 --> 09:39.900
Thank you. I had the privilege
of seeing Snake Eyes, too.
09:39.900 --> 09:41.520
It was a marvelous movie.
09:41.520 --> 09:43.870
Oh, don't be so stiff.
09:44.240 --> 09:47.590
I'm a fan of yours, Kana-san.
You can drop the formalities.
09:47.590 --> 09:48.840
Oh, I couldn't.
09:49.210 --> 09:53.520
She's a popular idol these days.
Have you heard of B-Komachi?
09:53.520 --> 09:56.360
I sure have. Ruby Hoshino's group, right?
09:56.360 --> 09:58.600
My producer said he wanted to cast her.
09:58.600 --> 10:00.140
How lucky.
10:00.140 --> 10:05.070
I could never be an idol,
but Arima's always been a charmer.
10:05.070 --> 10:06.100
I'm so envious.
10:06.450 --> 10:11.700
No, I'm just a bonus extra to Ruby.
She's the amazing one.
10:12.420 --> 10:14.680
I've got nothing.
10:14.680 --> 10:15.910
That's not true.
10:16.280 --> 10:20.120
Everyone in this business knows
you've got real talent.
10:20.570 --> 10:23.330
You just don't have anyone
who can draw it out.
10:23.830 --> 10:26.670
If it were me, I'd use you right.
10:28.340 --> 10:31.400
Oh, why don't we trade LINE IDs?
10:32.570 --> 10:36.790
Go for it. He's not a playboy or anything.
10:39.010 --> 10:42.220
I hope we can chat again sometime!
10:39.010 --> 10:42.220
Thanks for tonight, Shima D! Let's hang out again
10:39.010 --> 10:42.220
No, thank you! I'll contact you
10:39.010 --> 10:42.220

10:39.010 --> 10:42.220
Can we meet again for drinks? When are you two free?
10:42.220 --> 10:45.010

10:42.220 --> 10:44.970
Can we meet again for drinks? When are you two free?
10:42.220 --> 10:44.970
I'm free this Friday and Saturday
10:44.970 --> 10:47.770
No, thank you! I'll contact you

10:44.970 --> 10:47.720
I'm free this Friday and Saturday
10:45.020 --> 10:47.720
I've got shoots
on Tuesday and Thursday...
10:47.720 --> 10:50.810
Can we meet again for drinks? When are you two free?
10:47.720 --> 10:50.730

10:54.730 --> 10:54.770
I'm free this Friday and Saturday

Oh, yeah?
10:54.730 --> 10:57.860
How about next Friday, then?
10:54.730 --> 10:57.860
Let's get some good food and talk shop
11:00.210 --> 11:04.540
What do I do?
Should I run this by our manager?
11:04.540 --> 11:05.550
Huh?
11:05.550 --> 11:08.640
Why do I have to tell you
my Insta password?
11:08.640 --> 11:10.500
Isn't that an invasion of privacy?
11:10.500 --> 11:16.010

We have the right to manage them.
11:16.320 --> 11:18.720
It says so in your contract, too.
11:18.720 --> 11:20.780
I know what this is!
11:20.780 --> 11:23.480
You lose your accounts
if you switch agencies!
11:23.480 --> 11:26.070
That's how you keep your talent trapped!
11:26.070 --> 11:27.190
Exactly.
11:27.760 --> 11:31.760
By the way, we've also
trademarked your name,
11:31.760 --> 11:35.140
so you won't be able to go by
"Ruby Hoshino" anywhere else.
11:35.140 --> 11:37.280
But that's my real name...
11:37.280 --> 11:38.940
Help! Help! I'm being exploited!
11:38.940 --> 11:41.360
I'll move to a bigger idol agency!
That'll show you!
11:41.360 --> 11:43.530
This makes no sense!
11:41.990 --> 11:45.620
Just so you know, the major agencies
are even more restrictive.
11:45.620 --> 11:46.960
That's right.
11:47.220 --> 11:52.370
You'll need your manager's permission
to even give out your contact info.
11:52.370 --> 11:57.050
They'll monitor who sends you
DMs on social media.
11:57.050 --> 12:02.650
If you get the "pure girl" role,
they'll keep all men far away from you.
12:02.650 --> 12:06.790
They'll delete your blog posts
or rewrite them from the ground up.
12:06.790 --> 12:09.690
They won't let you hang out
with your friends from back home.
12:10.200 --> 12:12.520
And if you start dating someone,
12:12.520 --> 12:15.580
they'll sneakily pull strings
to make you break up.
12:15.580 --> 12:17.940
Huh? Do idols not have human rights?
12:18.290 --> 12:19.680
And for some corpo VTubers,
12:19.680 --> 12:24.270
NDAs ban them from putting their work
on their resumes after they quit.
12:24.270 --> 12:26.450
They rank pretty low
on the rights scale, too.
12:26.710 --> 12:29.960
Compared to that, we're pretty easygoing.
12:29.960 --> 12:34.440
If you start dating someone,
we won't meddle as long as you tell us.
12:34.440 --> 12:37.900
And we don't keep tabs
on who you're in contact with.
12:37.900 --> 12:40.810
When most of your work
is online like mine,
12:40.810 --> 12:44.970
the "no boys allowed" thing can make
collabs all but impossible sometimes.
12:44.970 --> 12:50.230
Even if you take all the precautions,
lots of girls mess up around year three.
12:51.150 --> 12:52.920
The more you restrict them,
12:52.920 --> 12:56.730
the bigger the blowback is
once the novelty wears off.
12:57.250 --> 12:59.210
You're not children anymore,
12:59.210 --> 13:03.320
so we won't meddle in your love lives
if you know where to draw the line,
13:03.760 --> 13:05.780
but talk to us if anything goes wrong.
13:06.270 --> 13:11.940
Please keep in mind that protecting
our talent is our biggest priority.
13:13.530 --> 13:16.240
Oh, but Ruby, we will
meddle in your affairs.
13:16.240 --> 13:18.790
You're not an adult yet.
13:18.790 --> 13:19.710
Boo!
13:20.150 --> 13:22.430
I'm eighteen already.
13:23.050 --> 13:25.980
I can make my own decisions.
13:34.810 --> 13:39.690
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
13:34.810 --> 13:39.690
Gotcha! See you in a bit!
13:34.810 --> 13:39.690
Where are you?
13:34.810 --> 13:39.690
I'm nearby, but sorry
13:36.020 --> 13:39.690
This other party's popping off
13:38.270 --> 13:39.690
I'll finish up here
and head over ASAP!
13:39.690 --> 13:41.530
This bitch!
13:51.220 --> 13:55.030
My wife grew up in the States,
and she always says,
13:55.030 --> 14:00.300
"The actors' guilds practically
hold the reins of showbiz overseas."
14:00.300 --> 14:03.840
But because Japanese agencies
aren't that powerful,
14:03.840 --> 14:06.970
actors here have to shut up and do
whatever the showrunners say.
14:07.260 --> 14:08.690
Basically blue-collar workers.
14:08.690 --> 14:10.970
That's painfully accurate.
14:10.970 --> 14:13.880
In Hollywood,
if a production breaks the rules,
14:13.880 --> 14:17.110
the guild hits the studio with a fine.
14:17.610 --> 14:21.560
They ensure actors are so well protected,
if an audition makes you wait an hour,
14:21.560 --> 14:23.360
you can bill for that time.
14:23.360 --> 14:27.320
Wow, lucky. I wish it were
like that in Japan, too.
14:27.930 --> 14:31.040
With Japanese movies, the budget doesn't
trickle down to the actual productions.
14:31.410 --> 14:34.300
The distributors have too much power.
14:34.300 --> 14:39.760
Internal politics, ageism,
connections, and agency clout have created
14:39.760 --> 14:42.800
an environment where projects only get
greenlit with proven box-office stars.
14:42.800 --> 14:44.630
It's unsustainable.
14:46.260 --> 14:50.220
Japan cares far too little
about actual acting ability.
14:50.220 --> 14:55.690
Maybe it'd change with a guild monitoring
auditions like they do over there.
14:56.160 --> 14:58.440
But as things stand now,
we won't develop good actors.
14:59.930 --> 15:03.630
You really care about the actors, huh?
15:03.630 --> 15:04.650
Why wouldn't I?
15:05.240 --> 15:09.620
I want to make good films,
and I can't do that without good actors.
15:10.280 --> 15:13.510
I want to bring
real change to this industry.
15:15.090 --> 15:18.800
I'm relieved. He doesn't seem to be lying.
15:18.800 --> 15:21.650
He's a pro who cares about the business.
15:21.650 --> 15:22.550
And besides...
15:22.550 --> 15:23.760
I swear!
15:23.760 --> 15:27.880
Models who get into film are so
demanding when they can't even act!
15:27.880 --> 15:28.890
Say it louder!
15:28.890 --> 15:33.090
One of them made the bus come
all the way to their front door,
15:29.600 --> 15:31.530
He's the right amount of bitchy.
15:31.530 --> 15:34.470
I feel like I'm in the acting world
for the first time in ages.
15:33.090 --> 15:36.370
started complaining to their
makeup artist about their coactors,
15:34.860 --> 15:37.460
I can discuss art and acting
15:36.640 --> 15:40.080
and basically ruined the mood on set.
15:37.460 --> 15:41.310
and listen to drunks moan
about bad shoots and coworkers.
15:42.560 --> 15:44.940
I really want to come back here.
15:45.770 --> 15:47.030
You see,
15:47.030 --> 15:51.480
I want to bring about an era where
real actors like you are valued.
15:52.330 --> 15:56.910
I want my next film to make full use
of the skills of people like that.
15:57.330 --> 15:58.160
There it is.
15:58.710 --> 16:02.540
Huh? Are you saying you'll cast me in it?
16:02.820 --> 16:04.970
Uh, I'm not sure about that yet.
16:04.970 --> 16:09.050
It'd be a shame if we worked together
and wound up having creative differences.
16:09.600 --> 16:13.530
So I'd like to get to know you
better before I decide.
16:13.890 --> 16:19.130
I want to know what's inside you—
your soul? Your philosophy?
16:19.130 --> 16:20.340
My philosophy?
16:21.180 --> 16:23.470
Excuse me. It's almost time.
16:23.470 --> 16:24.910
Oh, right. Thank you.
16:25.880 --> 16:30.500
I'd like to take this elsewhere,
but I can't drag a kid around so late.
16:30.500 --> 16:31.940
No, it's fine.
16:31.940 --> 16:35.700
I can't drink yet, but I am an adult.
16:36.290 --> 16:40.160
All my idol work did was leave me
feeling powerless and empty inside.
16:40.160 --> 16:42.420
I was never meant to be
part of that world.
16:43.010 --> 16:47.200
I have to land a big role here
and use it to get back into acting.
16:47.900 --> 16:49.930
Let's continue this chat!
16:49.930 --> 16:52.090
Hmm, in that case...
16:52.560 --> 16:54.720
My office is right around the corner.
Wanna come over?
16:55.970 --> 16:58.430
I'm sure people are still working,
16:58.720 --> 17:00.520
so let's get together and chat.
17:04.600 --> 17:07.010
I love your beauty spot. It's so sexy.
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900

17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
This other party's popping off
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
I'll finish up here
and head over ASAP!
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
Got it! I'll be waiting
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
Arima!
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
I'm so sorry!!
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
This is taking forever.
I'll be a while yet
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
Understood.
We'll go ahead and start,
so let us know when
you can make it!
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
New messages
17:06.190 --> 17:07.900
We're heading over
to Shima D's office next
17:07.010 --> 17:08.140
Huh? Really?
17:08.140 --> 17:11.440
Yeah. Did you know that there's a meaning
behind where you have moles?

m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

I'll be a while yet
17:09.610 --> 17:18.070
Understood.
We'll go ahead and start,
so let us know when
you can make it!
17:09.610 --> 17:18.070
New messages
17:09.610 --> 17:18.070
We're heading over
to Shima D's office next
17:09.610 --> 17:18.080
His staff are still there
17:11.440 --> 17:12.520
What? I had no idea.
17:12.070 --> 17:18.080
Wow, that sounds fun
17:12.520 --> 17:16.940
They say you get 'em where your
beloved kissed you in your past life.
17:14.030 --> 17:18.080
Are you still held up?
17:16.940 --> 17:19.510
What the heck? That's so romantic!
17:17.110 --> 17:18.080
Yeah, probably a bit longer
17:19.510 --> 17:21.830
You wouldn't know, huh? But I...
17:36.380 --> 17:38.070
Is this okay?
17:38.070 --> 17:41.730
Won't the staff be surprised
if I show up out of nowhere?
17:43.410 --> 17:46.880
Yeah, I bet they'll jump for joy
that the Kana Arima is here.
17:46.880 --> 17:48.610
Oh, yeah, where's Mako-chan?
17:49.520 --> 17:51.320
I don't think she's coming.
17:52.730 --> 17:54.030
Huh...
17:58.370 --> 18:00.970
Huh? Did everyone leave?
18:05.240 --> 18:09.340
What a lovely studio.
Mind if I take a look around?
18:09.340 --> 18:10.230
Go for it.
18:10.590 --> 18:12.590
Wow, it's so big.
18:12.890 --> 18:14.930
Yep, should've seen it coming!
18:15.810 --> 18:18.090
There's a bed and everything.
18:18.950 --> 18:20.500
What'll you have?
18:20.500 --> 18:21.850
Cola, please.
18:22.190 --> 18:23.350
Should I contact Miyako-san?
18:24.110 --> 18:27.060
Nah, I'm an entertainer.
18:27.560 --> 18:29.940
I'm used to these sticky situations.
18:29.940 --> 18:33.030
I just need to be a fun drinking buddy.
18:33.480 --> 18:35.740
And if the director gets horny on me...
18:36.760 --> 18:39.960
Sorry, it's that time of month! Teehee!
18:38.830 --> 18:41.870
teehee :P
18:39.960 --> 18:42.270
What? Aw, that's too bad.
18:42.270 --> 18:44.620
I'll use the magic words to get out of it!
18:51.660 --> 18:53.860
You look like someone
pulled a fast one on ya.
18:54.730 --> 18:59.090
Relax. I'm not some dumb college kid.
18:59.090 --> 19:01.220
I know where to draw the line.
19:01.220 --> 19:05.480
Right, of course! You wouldn't look
at little ol' me that way!
19:05.480 --> 19:07.600
Oh, I would. Totally.
19:08.440 --> 19:11.570
I only work with people who interest me.
19:11.940 --> 19:15.950
I can't be all-out unless I'm interested.
Not in love, and not in work.
19:16.610 --> 19:20.070
I want to work with people
who make me go all-out for them.
19:20.740 --> 19:21.980
That's all.
19:22.420 --> 19:24.760
You're a player, huh?
19:24.760 --> 19:26.040
I don't deny it.
19:26.690 --> 19:31.040
Aren't you married? What would
your wife say if she knew about this?
19:31.480 --> 19:35.030
Oh, she plays around
pretty much every night, too.
19:35.030 --> 19:38.260
We've got a "don't ask,
don't tell" thing going on.
19:38.260 --> 19:43.100
Why do so many creative types
have zero common sense?!
19:38.800 --> 19:38.890

19:43.500 --> 19:47.680
You're free to slap me
and leave if you wish.
19:47.680 --> 19:50.980
Think for yourself,
and do what's best for you.
19:51.590 --> 19:54.440
That said, I'm not going to hurt you.
19:54.440 --> 19:59.990
I'm showing you my respect and interest
as a fellow human first and a man second.
20:00.600 --> 20:03.310
I swear it won't be some minor bit part.
20:03.310 --> 20:08.500
I'll give you your ultimate role—
one that will define your career.
20:10.400 --> 20:13.920
Kana Arima, you're an actor
right down to your soul.
20:15.210 --> 20:17.920
You've felt the pressure of the cameras,
20:17.920 --> 20:20.800
the feeling you only get
when you let a role take over you,
20:20.800 --> 20:25.050
and that sweet release of laying
it all bare for everyone to see.
20:27.000 --> 20:28.850
Those things are not
something you can forget.
20:36.650 --> 20:38.630
I can make it back there again?
20:42.970 --> 20:46.920
If it really gets me back there,
20:48.580 --> 20:49.980
I'll do anything...
21:08.430 --> 21:11.810
I'm sorry... I can't do this!
21:12.700 --> 21:14.060
I...
21:14.670 --> 21:17.180
I have somebody I like!
21:25.320 --> 21:28.200
You like a guy enough to cry about it?
21:28.200 --> 21:29.220
Yeah...
21:30.380 --> 21:32.420
What's he like? Tell me about him.
21:38.320 --> 21:39.590
Ugh! That guy!
21:39.920 --> 21:43.930
He always acts like
I'm not even on his radar!
21:43.930 --> 21:48.140
But then he gets all nice on me,
so I get the wrong idea!
21:48.140 --> 21:52.600
I keep trying to forget him,
but I just can't!
21:52.980 --> 21:57.380
How annoying can you be?
Die, you stupid piece of trash!
21:57.380 --> 21:59.080
Oh, yeah?
21:59.080 --> 22:01.790
That's actually fascinating.
I'm entertained!
22:01.790 --> 22:03.920
There's nothing entertaining about it.
22:03.920 --> 22:05.660
That's where you're wrong.
22:06.030 --> 22:09.180
You've tried and failed for a year
to get over this guy who has a girlfriend,
22:09.180 --> 22:11.910
and you're still here screeching over him.
22:11.910 --> 22:15.380
Women like that are oh-so entertaining.
22:24.620 --> 22:26.840
What the hell is wrong with me?
22:27.160 --> 22:31.140
Never again. I'm sticking to getting
jobs the right way, with my skills.
22:31.140 --> 22:34.080
Time to grab some ramen and go home.
