1
00:00:04,590 --> 00:00:07,710
I-I'm sorry.
2
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:10,080
What's wrong?
3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,870
I still can't bring myself...
4
00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:19,230
to use the bath after someone else.
5
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:24,520
I can't help but think it's gross...
6
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:27,660
Sharing bathwater.
7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:39,030
A Hundred Scenes of AWAJIMA
8
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:01,280
Asami Ohkubo
9
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,530
Ohkubo Daitou
10
00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:04,340
Oh, yeah, some people
are germophobes like that.
11
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:06,460
Some can't do public baths.
12
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:08,780
I don't particularly like
them either, honestly.
13
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:11,450
You'll get used to it, though. I'm sure.
14
00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:13,490
Y-Yeah, you're right.
15
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:15,920
I'm sorry I made such a fuss.
16
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:19,770
I heard you had a big cry in the bath!
17
00:02:19,770 --> 00:02:22,430
It's all over the school.
18
00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:30,870
My roommate, Daitou-senpai,
is such a good person.
19
00:02:31,450 --> 00:02:33,490
She's kind and cheerful.
20
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,110
She makes me want to share
everything about myself with her.
21
00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:42,950
Not that I ever will...
22
00:02:44,870 --> 00:02:48,430
My parents are devoutly religious.
23
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:51,340
I don't think they're bad people.
24
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:53,940
They never pushed me into it,
25
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:56,630
and they let me choose
my career path for myself.
26
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,990
I think religion is a free choice.
27
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:03,200
If you want to be religious, you can.
28
00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:05,480
But...
29
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,120
But...
30
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:08,960
But...
31
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,240
You know, I wanted to be like
a normal kid in a normal family.
32
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:17,830
Your first shrine visit of the year?
33
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:20,920
At Sumiyoshi Shrine on 3-chome?
34
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,890
No, you aren't doing that.
35
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:26,500
Why not?! Why not?!
36
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:29,440
Is Miwa-chan at Yamagishi-san's going?
37
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,110
She isn't, is she?
38
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:34,760
She has another god to pray to.
39
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,380
You're not going.
40
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Prayer
41
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Prayer
42
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Prayer
43
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Neighborhood
fundraiser
44
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Deliveries
45
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,630
Oversized trash
pickup
46
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:39,630
All the kids go
with their parents, don't they?
47
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:44,380
Some kids do go with their families,
and they want to hang out after!
48
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:47,140
There's going to be lots of food stands!
49
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,900
Let's let her go.
50
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,510
She's still a child, after all.
51
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:51,380
See?!
52
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:54,660
It's important to respect the communities
that children make for themselves.
53
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:55,160
See?!
54
00:03:55,510 --> 00:03:59,190
I think the other children are all
going with their parents, though.
55
00:03:59,190 --> 00:04:01,150
And we aren't doing that.
56
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:04,530
No, I think we should at least
take her to the stalls.
57
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:05,880
I don't know...
58
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,630
Why can't we go to the same places
that everyone else gets to go?
59
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:14,200
I heard it's a cult.
60
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,760
One of my relatives
said she got invited in.
61
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,840
Oh no!
62
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,070
Did she take the offer?
63
00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:22,080
Yeah.
64
00:04:20,370 --> 00:04:21,640
A cult...
65
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:24,090
I never knew it was a cult.
66
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,800
I thought it was just a
harmless new age religion.
67
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:31,340
I've had a feeling all this time...
68
00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:33,230
But I guess it's true.
69
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,790
Mom and Dad look like
normal people, though.
70
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:46,860
Maybe I only think that
because I'm already brainwashed.
71
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:53,080
I wish it were at least a bit
more of a mainstream religion.
72
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,660
Something I wouldn't be ashamed
to tell my friends about.
73
00:04:57,410 --> 00:05:01,650
And so, I slowly put up
a wall around my heart.
74
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:07,510
Eventually, I ended up without any
friends I could talk to freely.
75
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800
You want to go to Awajima?
76
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:14,240
Awajima, as in the Awajima Revue School?
77
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,810
Yeah.
78
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,130
Wow!
79
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,130
Sounds good.
80
00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:20,730
Really?
81
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:27,880
Oh, of course, I don't know
if I'm going to get in or not.
82
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,950
I have to go to an exam prep school first.
83
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:32,450
Admission Wishes
84
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,880
I wrote about you in a letter, Asami.
85
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,490
I'm going to deliver it to Sensei.
86
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:43,080
"Sensei" doesn't refer to my
school teacher or anything.
87
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,140
It refers to the great...
88
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:52,150
something-or-other of the religion
that my parents practice.
89
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:58,440
I pray that Asami gets in.
90
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:03,860
Mom and Dad are both rooting for me.
91
00:06:04,540 --> 00:06:09,150
So what exactly is this visceral
revulsion I'm feeling?
92
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,370
I'm so awful.
93
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,310
They're both doing what
they think is best for me.
94
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:25,890
You passed?!
95
00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:27,110
You made the cut?!
96
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:28,590
You really did it?!
97
00:06:28,590 --> 00:06:29,470
Yeah.
98
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:30,840
Yeah...
99
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:32,600
I did it!
100
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,280
That's great!
101
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:39,230
Congratulations, Asami!
Congratulations! You're amazing!
102
00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:40,850
Thank you.
103
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:46,350
I'm so glad I went to talk to Sensei.
104
00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:50,610
I need to go tell them about you.
105
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:53,280
Uh-huh, sure.
106
00:06:53,860 --> 00:06:59,460
My teachers' instruction at school,
my parents' support, my own efforts...
107
00:07:00,030 --> 00:07:03,320
I guess it was all this
great Sensei's doing.
108
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:07,150
"You did good, Asami."
109
00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:08,090
Yeah!
110
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:11,970
I don't want this god-like
being praising me.
111
00:07:11,970 --> 00:07:15,620
I want normal parents congratulating
me like normal people.
112
00:07:21,210 --> 00:07:22,870
Asami-chan?
113
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,620
Asami Ohkubo-chan, right?
114
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:28,350
Maybe you don't remember me.
115
00:07:28,350 --> 00:07:31,240
We did that Snow White play
with the youth group.
116
00:07:31,530 --> 00:07:33,300
It's me, Youko Kumagai!
117
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:43,000
In that religion,
118
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,890
we had a youth group that taught
God's precepts in a way
119
00:07:46,890 --> 00:07:48,810
that children could understand.
120
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:53,670
Youko Kumagai-chan and I
had studied there together.
121
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:57,780
We went to different schools,
122
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:00,840
but we were in the same school
district and we were the same age.
123
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,560
We'd hit it off ever since
we first met in the youth group.
124
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:12,450
Things used to be so simple...
125
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:16,610
I hadn't borne any feelings
of resentment toward my parents.
126
00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:21,110
And I'd believed in the same
god that they did.
127
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:27,720
I thought it was really grown-up and fancy
to have a friend from another school.
128
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:32,500
I never would've thought
I'd run into you here!
129
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:33,770
Right?
130
00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:38,500
You stopped coming to youth group
at some point, you know?
131
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,060
Oh, er...
132
00:08:41,060 --> 00:08:43,510
I was busy with middle school
entrance exams and stuff.
133
00:08:43,850 --> 00:08:45,370
I heard!
134
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:48,900
You know, my dad's an executive, so...
135
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:50,260
Is that right?
136
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:52,060
Please stop!
137
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:53,390
That's right...
138
00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:55,760
Youko-chan has a loud voice.
139
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,900
This is definitely fate!
140
00:08:59,260 --> 00:09:01,410
I heard, Asami!
141
00:09:01,790 --> 00:09:05,900
I can't believe you ended up in the
same school as Youko Kumagai-san!
142
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:11,140
We're excited that we might
end up with two Awajima stars!
143
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:17,650
So anyway! Anyway, you know
Hope? That newspaper?
144
00:09:17,650 --> 00:09:20,860
Youko-chan's dad has been
talking about it everywhere!
145
00:09:21,330 --> 00:09:23,160
He just must be tickled pink.
146
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,670
He said he wants
to interview the two of you.
147
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:27,910
This is amazing!
148
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:29,840
When you become a star—
149
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,560
There's no way I'd agree to that.
150
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:33,940
What, you want me in a religious magazine?
151
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:36,060
No, no, no!
152
00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:37,190
Absolutely not!
153
00:09:37,460 --> 00:09:40,020
Don't you dare put my name out there!
154
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:41,920
I'm not doing an interview!
155
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,860
I won't let Youko-chan do it either.
156
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:47,160
And you'd better not talk yourself!
157
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,420
If you let anyone know what our
family's up to, you're dead to me!
158
00:09:54,990 --> 00:09:56,680
Asami...
159
00:09:58,110 --> 00:10:00,070
What do you mean, "what we're up to"?
160
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,930
Ohkubo-san!
161
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:08,640
It's the prep students'
turn to use the bath now.
162
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,060
Go before it gets too crowded.
163
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:12,090
O-Okay...
164
00:10:12,090 --> 00:10:16,190
Yeesh! Either take out your braids
or don't, but choose one!
165
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:20,170
S-Sorry, I got tired halfway through.
166
00:10:20,170 --> 00:10:21,700
You got tired?
167
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,450
You're so funny, Ohkubo-san.
168
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:26,140
I'm going for a bath.
169
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:27,640
See you.
170
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,200
Oh, of course.
171
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:49,660
She hears about everything.
172
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,600
I hate it.
173
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,350
Why do I have to deal with this?
174
00:11:10,530 --> 00:11:11,550
What's wrong?
175
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,300
I'm sorry.
176
00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:17,430
I still can't bring myself...
177
00:11:18,620 --> 00:11:21,050
to use the bath after someone else.
178
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,400
It's gross.
179
00:11:26,890 --> 00:11:27,820
Asami-chan.
180
00:11:36,770 --> 00:11:38,760
Does it bother you?
181
00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:40,570
About your family.
182
00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:45,870
Yes.
183
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:47,860
It really bothers me.
184
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,740
I've come to terms with it.
185
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:57,490
It doesn't bother me.
186
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:59,900
Yeah.
187
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:03,170
I think you have the right approach.
188
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,510
I think you're right.
189
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:10,380
But it bothers you.
190
00:12:11,780 --> 00:12:12,790
Yeah.
191
00:12:13,730 --> 00:12:14,900
It's ironic.
192
00:12:15,410 --> 00:12:19,730
Ultimately, the only one I can talk to
openly is someone in my situation.
193
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,320
Please don't cry.
194
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,400
That's not fair.
195
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,560
It makes me feel like you're
looking down on me and my family.
196
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,910
I see.
197
00:12:35,950 --> 00:12:37,530
So that's what it was.
198
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:43,570
The reason I couldn't tell anyone
was because I didn't want to be pitied.
199
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:46,600
Because I didn't want
to be looked down upon.
200
00:12:47,380 --> 00:12:50,940
Because I didn't want my
parents to be ridiculed.
201
00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:58,690
I'm more ashamed of my parents
than anyone else is.
202
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,050
I'm afraid of abandoning them.
203
00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:10,750
Even though I can't even accept them.
204
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:14,570
Senpai...
205
00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:22,690
I know this is out of the blue, but I need
to get something stupid off my chest.
206
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:24,710
What's this about?
207
00:13:26,580 --> 00:13:28,210
My parents...
208
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,190
They're in a religion.
209
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:33,040
What, are you recruiting me?
210
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,790
No, not that!
211
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:38,590
The thing is... I really hate it.
212
00:13:38,970 --> 00:13:41,960
Well, which one is it? What religion?
213
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360
I don't want to share that.
214
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Sorry, my bad.
215
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,100
So, I...
216
00:13:59,110 --> 00:14:00,310
I'm sorry.
217
00:14:00,930 --> 00:14:05,340
It's so hard trying to hate
your own parents.
218
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:15,080
I don't think you need
to force yourself to hate them.
219
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:19,120
I think you can become independent
without hating them.
220
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,630
Maybe you just need
to put some space between you.
221
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,770
Or would your parents
not take that well either?
222
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,270
I don't know.
223
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,020
I think they'd be okay with it.
224
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,580
Then you'll probably be all right.
225
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,910
Man, people have all
sorts of problems, huh?
226
00:14:46,590 --> 00:14:48,780
I suppose so.
227
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,980
I haven't met anyone who has
the same problem I do yet.
228
00:14:55,540 --> 00:14:59,440
There was a bit of a reason
I talked to Senpai.
229
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:04,050
I figured that even if
she told other people,
230
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:07,200
that'd be better than if
the prep students found out.
231
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,450
I'm so stupid...
232
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:16,940
Why did I expect anyone to open up to me
when I don't open up to anyone myself?
233
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,190
I'm sorry, Senpai.
234
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:27,320
I'll call Mom after this lesson today.
235
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,920
I'll apologize for what
happened the other day.
236
00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:37,600
And then...
237
00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:43,780
I'll apologize in advance
for what's about to happen.
238
00:15:45,860 --> 00:15:47,840
What are you talking about?
239
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,110
If she asks that...
240
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,110
I don't think I can express
myself well enough yet.
241
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400
It'll be clumsy,
242
00:16:10,050 --> 00:16:14,140
but I'll get them to understand
243
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:19,100
that I can't always walk
side by side with my family.
244
00:16:28,270 --> 00:16:31,190
Prep A
245
00:16:28,890 --> 00:16:31,190
What?! That really happened?!
246
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:32,400
Sure did.
247
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,860
We heard a totally stunning
voice coming down the hall.
248
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:38,240
We were gabbing,
but everyone went dead silent!
249
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,980
Right?
250
00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:39,700
Yup.
251
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:41,450
No way...
252
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:50,210
Calling...
253
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:50,210
Mom
254
00:16:46,290 --> 00:16:48,990
I don't think they'll get it.
255
00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:57,570
But even if they don't, they still
supported my journey to Awajima.
256
00:16:57,570 --> 00:16:58,900
Thank you.
257
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,420
Oh, Mom?
258
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:03,520
Listen...
259
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,980
Congratulations to Reona Tsukasa
260
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,980
Congratulations to Reona Tsukasa
261
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,980
Congratulations to Reona Tsukasa
262
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,980
Congratulations to Reona Tsukasa
263
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:11,180
That day was the day I saw it...
264
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,740
A boorish young man transformed,
265
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:26,000
learning to be a cultured gentleman.
266
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,520
The name of this beautiful
person was Reona Tsukasa.
267
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:43,010
Midori Asaka & Leo Asagami
268
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,020
What?
269
00:17:45,620 --> 00:17:47,140
You want to cut your hair?
270
00:17:47,140 --> 00:17:48,230
Yup!
271
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:49,210
Huh? Right now?
272
00:17:49,210 --> 00:17:50,000
Yup!
273
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,360
Why now?
274
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,540
The performance is next month!
275
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:54,740
I know, but...
276
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,940
I was learning ballet.
277
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:01,980
I wanted hair like Reona-sama's.
278
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,990
But when I found out that
Reona-sama had learned ballet,
279
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:11,650
piano, and even classic Japanese dance,
I had a change of heart.
280
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,460
I couldn't just imitate the appearance.
281
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:21,100
I had to become someone incredible,
like Reona-sama, or it wouldn't matter.
282
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:24,980
Oh my, really?
283
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,610
Midori-chan, you want to go to Awajima?
284
00:18:28,610 --> 00:18:29,480
Yeah!
285
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:33,680
Aunt Youko was my mother's older sister.
286
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,300
She was the one who suggested
I take up ballet.
287
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:40,740
And, of course, the one who took
me to the Awajima Revue...
288
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,700
An old friend of mine graduated
from Awajima.
289
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,010
She's an instructor
at an exam prep school now.
290
00:18:48,010 --> 00:18:51,820
If you're interested, would you like me
to ask her if you can come watch?
291
00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:53,520
I-I would!
292
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,660
I'd fallen straight into her scheme.
293
00:18:55,390 --> 00:18:59,090
Oh, you! You didn't need to shout it.
294
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:03,120
My dream was to share
the stage with Reona-sama.
295
00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:09,890
That fragile dream was shattered one day.
296
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:14,650
BREAKING NEWS
297
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:14,650
Reona
Tsukasa
298
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:14,650
Reona Tsukasa's Retirement Press Conference
299
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,060
She wasn't quitting show business.
300
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,200
She wanted to continue
working on the stage.
301
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,940
At least, that's what she said.
302
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:25,210
I didn't know when, where,
or what kind of stage that would be.
303
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:29,900
But the day could eventually come
where we might take it together.
304
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:31,560
That gave me hope.
305
00:19:33,150 --> 00:19:38,400
Still, I'd wanted it
to be the stage at Awajima.
306
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:43,810
And yet, even though
I was so, so saddened...
307
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,310
Her beautiful interview,
delivered so elegantly
308
00:19:51,310 --> 00:19:56,770
in her crested hakama,
moved me beyond words.
309
00:19:56,770 --> 00:19:58,360
What's gotten into you?
310
00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:04,360
My next dream was to play the
same roles that Reona-sama had.
311
00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:07,870
Accepted Candidates
312
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:07,860
I made it!
313
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:13,970
Asaka-san.
314
00:20:13,970 --> 00:20:15,490
Midori Asaka-san.
315
00:20:15,490 --> 00:20:16,250
Yes, ma'am!
316
00:20:16,530 --> 00:20:19,560
You're free to leave
if this doesn't interest you.
317
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,370
I'm sorry!
318
00:20:23,380 --> 00:20:26,220
There isn't much time left
before the performance.
319
00:20:26,220 --> 00:20:27,250
Work hard.
320
00:20:27,250 --> 00:20:29,320
Yes, ma'am! Thank you!
321
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,690
We have to start picking stage names.
322
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:34,490
Do you have a shortlist yet?
323
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:35,240
Yup.
324
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,400
Really? Must be nice.
325
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,520
I still can't decide.
326
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,380
My name's Midori Asaka,
327
00:20:42,370 --> 00:20:45,000
which I'd spun into "Asagami."
328
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,830
That much was settled.
329
00:20:42,150 --> 00:20:46,150
Midori Asaka
330
00:20:46,150 --> 00:20:49,660
Leo Asagami
331
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:49,350
Maybe a little on the nose?
332
00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:51,390
It's fine, though.
333
00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:55,430
It was Reona-sama
who started everything for me.
334
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,590
And it was Auntie Youko
who gave me the opportunity.
335
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:01,930
I'm announcing the cast for
the newcomer performance.
336
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,420
Awajima Revue
337
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,420
Cast
338
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,420
William Snibson
339
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,420
Sally Smith
340
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,420
{\an1}Leo Asagami
341
00:21:02,610 --> 00:21:07,160
The lead, William Snibson: Leo Asagami.
342
00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:14,520
Reona Tsukasa was playing
William Snibson that day.
343
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:22,020
My dream then became to put on
my own act, not to imitate anyone else.
344
00:21:23,910 --> 00:21:29,100
Midori Asaka had to become Leo Asagami.
345
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:30,410
I see!
346
00:21:30,410 --> 00:21:34,310
So it was truly that unwavering
conviction that brought you this far.
347
00:21:35,330 --> 00:21:36,790
However...
348
00:21:36,790 --> 00:21:40,760
And now, a conversation between
two superstars across generations.
349
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:42,810
From your perspective, Reona-san,
350
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:46,750
how do you feel about the
stage name "Leo Asagami"?
351
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:51,330
I'm honored, of course.
352
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:53,780
But it's quite titillating too.
353
00:21:55,390 --> 00:21:58,400
Wh-What's wrong, Asagami-san?!
354
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,270
I-I'm not worthy!
355
00:22:01,930 --> 00:22:08,620
Forgive me for returning to plain-old
Midori in Reona-sama's presence.
