1
00:00:11,625 --> 00:00:13,000
I stand in secret silence

2
00:00:13,083 --> 00:00:14,166
KARAOKE

3
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,291
I scream into the darkness!

4
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:19,583
But the pain never ends!

5
00:00:24,416 --> 00:00:27,333
Your time is up in ten minutes.
Would you like to extend it?

6
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:29,541
Ah, I'm done.

7
00:00:33,625 --> 00:00:36,916
These karaoke rooms are my sanctuary.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,375
A place of tranquility
on my way home from work.

9
00:00:40,041 --> 00:00:42,458
We await your next visit.

10
00:00:43,666 --> 00:00:46,375
I can never let anyone see it...

11
00:00:48,166 --> 00:00:49,250
My secret place.

12
00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:51,833
RAGE

13
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:38,166
Protein!

14
00:01:38,291 --> 00:01:40,208
Okay!
That's it for today's yoga class!

15
00:01:40,291 --> 00:01:41,166
Protein!

16
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,458
Let's work up a good
sweat again next week!

17
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:45,625
Oww...

18
00:01:48,166 --> 00:01:51,125
Sore muscles? It's quite hard
if you're not used to it.

19
00:01:51,208 --> 00:01:52,833
Yeah, I guess...

20
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,875
I won't put on excess muscle
from training here, will I?

21
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:01,666
What do you mean?

22
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:04,541
Well, that instructor leaves
yoga to his assistant,

23
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:06,458
and all he does is muscle building.

24
00:02:07,208 --> 00:02:08,791
He keeps saying "protein".

25
00:02:09,625 --> 00:02:13,458
No matter how you look at it,
he's a yoga instructor in name only.

26
00:02:13,541 --> 00:02:14,833
So...

27
00:02:15,625 --> 00:02:17,833
"Meat head."
Is that what you want to say?

28
00:02:19,041 --> 00:02:21,625
No, no! I didn't mean that!

29
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,583
Retsuko, he may not look it, but...

30
00:02:24,083 --> 00:02:27,916
he's an amazing person who went
through strict training in India.

31
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Protein!

32
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,458
Here's the proof!

33
00:02:31,833 --> 00:02:36,416
Since I've been coming here,
my upper arms have become so defined.

34
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:38,000
Look!

35
00:02:38,083 --> 00:02:40,375
That's not reassuring!

36
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:44,041
Why do you come to yoga, Retsuko?

37
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:48,291
Uh, well... You see...

38
00:02:48,375 --> 00:02:51,125
It's because you want
to be beautiful, right?

39
00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:55,041
Yes, well, something like that.

40
00:02:57,208 --> 00:03:01,541
I can't say it's to help me find
a marriage partner so I can quit.

41
00:03:04,125 --> 00:03:05,833
What now?
Want to go for dinner?

42
00:03:05,916 --> 00:03:09,125
Sounds nice! How about
that restaurant we've been to before?

43
00:03:09,208 --> 00:03:10,958
The one with the yummy quiche.

44
00:03:11,041 --> 00:03:12,208
I'm tired of that place.

45
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,000
Grilled meat, then.

46
00:03:14,083 --> 00:03:15,333
I'll get fat.

47
00:03:16,666 --> 00:03:18,166
You're coming, right?

48
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:21,708
Okay? Let's go!
There's so much I want to hear about.

49
00:03:21,791 --> 00:03:23,083
I'm sorry.

50
00:03:25,041 --> 00:03:26,000
I'm going home.

51
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,208
I have some leftovers
in my fridge that I need to use.

52
00:03:35,166 --> 00:03:38,375
Oh dear... I see...

53
00:03:48,625 --> 00:03:50,333
Protein...

54
00:03:54,041 --> 00:03:58,458
Retsuko... it seems
that she's ignoring us.

55
00:03:58,541 --> 00:03:59,875
Maybe.

56
00:03:59,958 --> 00:04:02,500
She's refused to go out with us
three times already.

57
00:04:02,583 --> 00:04:04,541
It's got me down...

58
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,791
Think about how I feel
having to accompany you

59
00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:10,125
every time you go to drown your sorrows.

60
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:12,750
What's keeping Retsuko so busy?

61
00:04:13,250 --> 00:04:15,666
Not some man, right?

62
00:04:16,583 --> 00:04:17,625
Probably not.

63
00:04:19,416 --> 00:04:20,916
Did Retsuko tell you that?

64
00:04:22,458 --> 00:04:26,333
She doesn't talk a lot about herself.
And I don't ask.

65
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:28,458
So, you're just guessing?

66
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:30,500
An educated guess.

67
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:32,166
Huh?

68
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:34,125
STARTING MY YOGA CLASS

69
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:36,208
Who is that?

70
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:39,208
It's a picture that someone
took in their yoga class.

71
00:04:39,708 --> 00:04:43,458
Don't you think the person in
the background looks like Retsuko?

72
00:04:45,375 --> 00:04:46,666
What are you saying?

73
00:04:47,583 --> 00:04:50,458
Retsuko normally goes
straight to the station after work.

74
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,541
But twice a week,
she heads in the opposite direction.

75
00:04:54,625 --> 00:04:57,041
She's going somewhere
near the office.

76
00:04:57,125 --> 00:05:00,291
It's twice a week so it's
probably some kind of lesson.

77
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:04,666
She's been feeling sore lately,
so it must be something physical.

78
00:05:05,166 --> 00:05:09,250
Since she's not the gym type,
I guessed it was either Pilates or yoga,

79
00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:13,041
and when I searched,
I found this photo.

80
00:05:13,666 --> 00:05:15,291
You're scary.

81
00:05:15,375 --> 00:05:17,125
I wouldn't want to be your enemy.

82
00:05:17,208 --> 00:05:20,416
It had to be done.
Retsuko wasn't going to tell us.

83
00:05:28,791 --> 00:05:32,250
They were kind to invite me,
but I turned them down.

84
00:05:32,916 --> 00:05:35,916
I'm glad that I became
acquaintances with them, but...

85
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,375
They're people from
the office, after all.

86
00:05:39,708 --> 00:05:42,583
It could be awkward
being asked some questions.

87
00:05:59,041 --> 00:05:59,958
I can't do it.

88
00:06:00,041 --> 00:06:01,666
I'll do it!

89
00:06:03,291 --> 00:06:06,833
It's tight! I really can't open it!

90
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:08,750
"Tsubone's unopenable jars."

91
00:06:08,833 --> 00:06:10,791
So she still hasn't opened it?

92
00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:14,250
My goodness...

93
00:06:15,916 --> 00:06:18,958
Retsuko, perfect timing.

94
00:06:20,916 --> 00:06:23,916
Could you open this jar for me?

95
00:06:24,375 --> 00:06:27,000
Mind you, it's really tightly sealed.

96
00:06:27,291 --> 00:06:29,625
I'm sure a go-getter
like you would be able to....

97
00:06:31,875 --> 00:06:34,166
Ah!
I opened it.

98
00:06:41,791 --> 00:06:43,625
Retsuko, you're really something!

99
00:06:44,208 --> 00:06:45,166
Huh? Why?

100
00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:49,333
You were like King Arthur back there.
Have you taken up body building?

101
00:06:49,416 --> 00:06:50,458
What?

102
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:54,291
That's strange. It was
definitely a photo from a yoga class.

103
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:57,583
-Is something wrong?
-No, just thinking out loud.

104
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,500
Are they angry that
I turned them down the other day?

105
00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:17,666
Next time I see them,
I'll apologize.

106
00:07:25,958 --> 00:07:30,125
I wonder if Retsuko really
does hate us after all!

107
00:07:31,083 --> 00:07:32,875
She just declined once!

108
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:36,083
Let's try inviting her again next time.

109
00:08:06,125 --> 00:08:07,416
Protein...

110
00:08:16,916 --> 00:08:17,750
Protein!

111
00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:19,666
That's all for today's yoga class!

112
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:20,958
Protein!

113
00:08:21,041 --> 00:08:23,583
Let's work up a good
sweat again next week!

114
00:08:30,916 --> 00:08:32,375
Instructor...

115
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:34,125
Another good class today.

116
00:08:35,041 --> 00:08:35,958
Protein...

117
00:08:38,041 --> 00:08:40,416
Ah, yes.
Thank you very much.

118
00:08:41,458 --> 00:08:43,083
Protein.

119
00:08:51,166 --> 00:08:54,416
Retsuko!
Let's go to the station together.

120
00:08:54,958 --> 00:08:57,750
Huh? You're not
stopping anywhere today?

121
00:08:58,083 --> 00:09:00,541
Right! Today we're just going home!

122
00:09:02,916 --> 00:09:06,458
I'm sorry about the other day,
turning down your invitation...

123
00:09:06,541 --> 00:09:10,708
That's okay! Water under the bridge.

124
00:09:12,791 --> 00:09:14,875
Retsuko, what line do you take?

125
00:09:14,958 --> 00:09:16,833
Oh, the Den-en-toshi line.

126
00:09:16,916 --> 00:09:19,250
Which line do you two take?

127
00:09:20,708 --> 00:09:23,750
KARAOKE
RECEPTION 2ND FLOOR

128
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:30,041
I haven't done karaoke in ages!

129
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:31,083
What?

130
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:32,916
Neither have I!

131
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,875
What?!

132
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:37,208
Washimi, do you feel
like singing, by any chance?

133
00:09:37,291 --> 00:09:38,291
Yeah...

134
00:09:38,916 --> 00:09:40,958
But, Gori, we were going home, remember?

135
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:46,166
What do you say...
Shall we check it out and decide?

136
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:48,500
Let's just take a look.

137
00:09:48,583 --> 00:09:50,583
Hey! Wait!

138
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,916
Welcome. Party of one...

139
00:09:57,583 --> 00:09:59,541
A room for three.

140
00:09:59,625 --> 00:10:03,375
I thought you said you were
just going home today?!

141
00:10:07,791 --> 00:10:09,750
It's been too long!

142
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:11,125
This is rather nice.

143
00:10:12,166 --> 00:10:14,916
Do you do karaoke often, Retsuko?

144
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:18,041
No... Not much...

145
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,208
Why don't we order
some drinks for now?

146
00:10:21,291 --> 00:10:22,750
Who wants a beer?

147
00:10:22,833 --> 00:10:24,166
I do!

148
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,458
I can't be drawn into their trap.

149
00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:30,583
Uh, I'll have Oolong tea.

150
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:33,458
Two beers and a cup of tea. Copy that!

151
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:36,583
Front desk.

152
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:39,791
Two beers and an Oolong cocktail, please.

153
00:10:39,875 --> 00:10:42,041
She's spiking the tea with alcohol!

154
00:10:45,625 --> 00:10:47,250
There's no need to be so nervous.

155
00:10:47,833 --> 00:10:50,041
Outside work, there's no office hierarchy.

156
00:10:50,666 --> 00:10:52,666
We're all women.

157
00:10:52,958 --> 00:10:57,208
Because we're... yoga buddies!

158
00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:00,166
Yoga buddies?

159
00:11:03,083 --> 00:11:05,958
Friends on a journey of self-discovery,
opening chakras,

160
00:11:06,041 --> 00:11:09,916
and becoming one with the universe
together! That's yoga buddies!

161
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,500
I don't think it's that big a deal!

162
00:11:12,583 --> 00:11:15,083
Free your mind!

163
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:16,583
Anyway...

164
00:11:17,375 --> 00:11:18,416
Do you want to sing?

165
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:19,958
Yay!

166
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:26,916
I wonder what Retsuko's going
to sing for us. I'm really curious.

167
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,750
Some old-school hip-hop?

168
00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:30,416
Or some J-pop?

169
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:33,333
Oh, I'm into death metal.

170
00:11:33,958 --> 00:11:35,833
I can't say that!

171
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:38,125
I have to get through this somehow.

172
00:11:39,625 --> 00:11:42,791
I don't have much of a repertoire.

173
00:11:42,875 --> 00:11:45,000
I only know the chorus of this song.

174
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:48,500
Oh, I'm wasting our time.
You two please sing first.

175
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:50,875
We have three hours,
take your time and choose.

176
00:11:50,958 --> 00:11:52,833
I've been dragged into a long battle!

177
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,583
I've brought your beer
and the Oolong cocktail.

178
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:01,750
I can't do this one...
This one's too teenage...

179
00:12:02,250 --> 00:12:04,375
This is out of my range.
This one is depressing.

180
00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:06,416
She's a tough one.

181
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,291
Probably the type of girl
who is always on her toes.

182
00:12:09,583 --> 00:12:12,666
Don't worry.
The instructor told me.

183
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:14,208
Protein...

184
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:18,750
This note will guide
us to the right answer.

185
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,041
What is that number?

186
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:22,541
I don't know...

187
00:12:23,416 --> 00:12:27,750
I wonder what the instructor
is trying to tell us.

188
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:32,458
Protein!

189
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:43,666
What should I do?
Which one to sing? What do I do?

190
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:48,625
Retsuko...
That's enough. Give it to me.

191
00:12:56,166 --> 00:12:58,000
SEND

192
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:10,250
These karaoke rooms
are my sanctuary...

193
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:11,416
REQUEST RECEIVED

194
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:16,875
where I can be my true self.

195
00:13:18,875 --> 00:13:22,333
That's why...
I have to keep it a secret.

196
00:13:23,708 --> 00:13:27,083
That's what I've always believed.

197
00:13:39,916 --> 00:13:42,500
This is all I ever sing! This is my soul!

198
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:48,083
All death metal 'cause it makes me whole!

199
00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:50,666
Death!

200
00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:52,958
Metal!

201
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:57,083
Death metal forever!

202
00:14:11,791 --> 00:14:14,208
You'll hurt your throat doing it that way.

203
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:17,166
Clench your vocal chords, and...

204
00:14:19,208 --> 00:14:21,666
Again, how do you
"clench" the vocal chords?!

205
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:23,416
I don't understand at all...

206
00:14:31,083 --> 00:14:33,416
Your time is up in ten minutes.

207
00:14:39,083 --> 00:14:41,041
Extend it, please!

208
00:14:41,125 --> 00:14:43,125
