1
00:01:33,968 --> 00:01:37,347
I want to quit Love For Real.
2
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:38,389
What?!
3
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:39,307
Right now?!
4
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:41,601
Why are you saying this?!
5
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:46,856
Lately, the guys at school tease me.
6
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,400
Like, "So you like those types of guys?"
7
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:54,864
Nothing's scarier than openly showing
your feelings for someone you like.
8
00:01:55,698 --> 00:01:58,743
I had no idea until the show started.
9
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:02,956
Drawing attention
from many people isn't all good.
10
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:07,168
I do dumb stuff on my channel too,
so I understand.
11
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:12,674
Everyone thinks I'm dumb…
Well, in fact, I am dumb though.
12
00:02:12,757 --> 00:02:15,260
A-Are you really going to quit?
13
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,303
I'll listen anytime you need to talk!
14
00:02:17,387 --> 00:02:20,056
If you're gonna quit, I'll quit too!
15
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:21,266
Nobu…
16
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:23,726
So don't be like that. Let's continue!
17
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,187
I…
18
00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:29,190
WILL YUKI REALLY LEAVE THE SHOW?
19
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,025
Wow, I wonder what's gonna happen!
20
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:34,779
She might really quit.
Since Yuki seems sensitive.
21
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:37,407
But what will happen to Nobu
if she quits?!
22
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:38,867
YUKI SUMI TO QUIT DATING SHOW?
23
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,494
Look! I'm in a news article!
24
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:44,622
You think I contributed a little
in gaining viewers?
25
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:45,707
Probably.
26
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:48,167
So, are you going to quit the show?
27
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:51,796
Well, I can't quit, can I?
There's a contract.
28
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,549
What? So that was an act?
29
00:02:54,632 --> 00:02:59,929
No, no, I'm not an actress like you,
Kurokawa, so I can't act.
30
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:03,057
I just exaggerated my feelings a little.
31
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:06,477
It's true that I was sad
from being teased at school.
32
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:09,314
And it's also true
that I've thought about quitting.
33
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:13,860
Because this show is always filmed
first thing in the morning.
34
00:03:13,943 --> 00:03:16,029
I'm always so sleepy.
35
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:19,532
I see, so it's not a lie,
but an exaggeration.
36
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,409
An exaggeration, huh?
37
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:24,454
Once we started opening up
after some time passed on the show,
38
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,497
everyone's character became clear.
39
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:28,917
The ones who are good at this.
40
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:31,836
The one who isn't two-faced but unique.
41
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:36,007
The ones who aren't good on camera
and has little appearance.
42
00:03:37,091 --> 00:03:40,053
Aqua! Let's go eat once we're done!
43
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:42,513
No, I'm good. I have food at home.
44
00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:44,224
Come on, let's go!
45
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:46,226
Mem-cho says she'll treat us to yakiniku.
46
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:48,102
What?! I never said that!
47
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:52,065
I know that you gained new subscribers
recently and you're loaded.
48
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,317
Your agency only takes
50% of the cut, right?
49
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,235
Seriously?!
50
00:03:55,318 --> 00:03:58,738
We split 80/20 at my agency. I envy you.
51
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:00,490
Ermm…
52
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:03,451
All right! Add on another
extra premium assortment!
53
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:06,162
Stuff yourselves, brats!
54
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:08,039
Yay!
55
00:04:08,122 --> 00:04:10,625
Aqua, the kainomi is cooked.
56
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:13,878
I'll grill my own,
so don't worry about me.
57
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,881
Kurokawa, you haven't been eating at all.
58
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:19,509
No, this is my role!
59
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:23,096
I've decided to never release
the tongs in these settings.
60
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,391
People would get mad when I used
to burn the meat before,
61
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:28,601
but I can grill them well now.
62
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:32,480
That's why!
63
00:04:32,563 --> 00:04:36,567
What's being demanded right now
is something more extreme!
64
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:38,361
It's like, how much risk you take…
65
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:39,862
She's so studious.
66
00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:45,201
Ah, I'm sure the yakiniku was luxurious.
67
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:49,956
I bet the meat you ate while staring at
some cute girls tasted real good, huh?
68
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:51,582
Well, it was just a hangout.
69
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:54,919
Liar! I can see the satisfaction
oozing out from your face!
70
00:04:55,586 --> 00:04:56,421
No, it's not.
71
00:04:56,504 --> 00:04:58,631
Look me in my eyes and say that!
72
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:03,011
With a young body, you can eat unlimited
oily foods and never get indigestion.
73
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:04,429
This is too awesome.
74
00:05:04,512 --> 00:05:07,849
You promised to eat with us
on Sundays together.
75
00:05:07,932 --> 00:05:10,310
But it's been like this
ever since that show started!
76
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:13,896
First of all, isn't that show's concept
to meet after school?
77
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,983
But they always film on weekends.
It's a setup!
78
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:19,193
It's not a big deal.
79
00:05:19,777 --> 00:05:22,196
They're good at least
for prioritizing education.
80
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:26,075
Actually, reality dating shows
aren't set up as much as you think.
81
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,786
A few of them are obviously faking it,
82
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:32,165
but most of them are just trying to
make themselves look good.
83
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:35,418
Everyone does that in real life,
don't they?
84
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:38,212
If you go on a group date,
you can see the same thing.
85
00:05:38,296 --> 00:05:40,631
I've never been to one,
so I wouldn't know…
86
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:43,718
Then does everyone seriously fall in love?
87
00:05:43,801 --> 00:05:45,595
That depends on the individual.
88
00:05:46,637 --> 00:05:48,848
You end up liking them surprisingly.
89
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:53,269
But my fans are watching, so I want to
keep it to a certain level on the show.
90
00:05:53,352 --> 00:05:57,899
I do! It's kinda similar to getting close
to a host at a host club!
91
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,653
I shift into work mode when I'm on camera,
so it's a little hard.
92
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:05,823
Out of the question. It's work.
93
00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:10,703
I seriously can. I mean, wouldn't it
be fun if it led up to marriage?
94
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:12,789
I don't know…
95
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:16,667
I'm just barely fulfilling my role,
so I don't have the room for that.
96
00:06:17,335 --> 00:06:21,422
I never watched reality dating shows
before, so I lacked knowledge on it.
97
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:26,427
I had a biased view, but its realism is
enough for it to be the selling point.
98
00:06:27,095 --> 00:06:29,680
Contrary to what I imagined,
not a lot is set up.
99
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:35,186
And it's filmed to show the individuals'
character just as they are.
100
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,776
What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing
that there aren't many setups?
101
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:44,195
It's good from the audience's view.
102
00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:48,241
But lies are also the best way
to protect yourself.
103
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:51,786
Well, it's probably
a needless worry though.
104
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:07,802
Later on,
105
00:07:07,885 --> 00:07:12,598
the Yuki Sumi and Nobuyuki Kumano pair
becomes the focus of the show.
106
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:16,018
That's where Kengo shows his jealousy.
107
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:19,522
A love triangle is formed over Yuki.
108
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:23,818
Yuki becomes the gamemaster,
109
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:26,320
and her flirty character excites the show.
110
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:30,366
And the show gradually
gains popularity from teenagers.
111
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:34,912
Aqua, what about you?
112
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,290
Are you not gonna
join the battle over Yuki?
113
00:07:37,373 --> 00:07:40,835
If you wanna get popular, it's better
to mingle with them instead of me.
114
00:07:41,502 --> 00:07:45,423
I'm good. I want to play it safe
until the show ends.
115
00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:47,383
You have no ambition…
116
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,845
What about you?
Aren't you going to butt in?
117
00:07:50,928 --> 00:07:55,641
As long as I can keep this dumb,
laid-back role, I'm okay.
118
00:07:55,725 --> 00:07:59,479
Since my goal is to lead viewers
to my own channel.
119
00:08:00,062 --> 00:08:04,233
But if you wanna make a move on me
seriously, now that's a different story.
120
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,985
Don't get your hopes up.
121
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:11,449
But the one we should be
more worried about is…
122
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:23,211
She sells seashells by the seashore.
123
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:27,673
The shells she sells are sea-shells,
I'm sure. For if she sells sea-shells…
124
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,439
-Excuse me…
-Do you want to be fired?!
125
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:46,817
I heard the reality show Akane's
in was popular, so I watched it,
126
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,444
but what the hell is that?!
127
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,072
She probably wasn't even on screen
for ten minutes!
128
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:54,659
This is her chance,
but she isn't standing out one bit!
129
00:08:54,742 --> 00:08:57,370
You're the manager!
Why aren't you lecturing her?!
130
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:59,789
But Boss, Akane is doing her best and--
131
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:02,166
Doing her best doesn't make any money!
132
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:06,254
I chose her out of a ton of kids
who said they wanted to do it!
133
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:09,090
At least make her leave a mark
on the show!
134
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:14,679
I'm sorry, Manager…
135
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:17,640
Oh. You were listening?
136
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:21,727
Akane, you're doing the best you can,
so don't worry.
137
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:24,564
I'll act as your shield for you.
138
00:09:30,152 --> 00:09:32,238
I-It's because I'm not good enough…
139
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:34,782
I must work harder.
140
00:09:35,866 --> 00:09:38,661
I need to work harder to leave a mark.
141
00:09:40,621 --> 00:09:42,915
Ugh, this juice is gross.
142
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:45,501
I'll post this on Twitter
to get my money's worth.
143
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:49,005
"The new drink I bought
at the convenience store was ultra gross…"
144
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:50,715
Hey!
145
00:09:50,798 --> 00:09:52,133
What was that for?
146
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:53,926
What were you just trying to do?!
147
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:57,138
What if you write a bad comment
about a company's product,
148
00:09:57,221 --> 00:09:59,140
and they happened to be egosurfing?!
149
00:09:59,223 --> 00:10:00,725
No, they wouldn't.
150
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:02,893
Jeez, you ex-commoners know nothing.
151
00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:07,315
If you write about a product, at least
five affiliated people will see it!
152
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:11,068
And that company
will never offer you a job!
153
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:12,820
You're exaggerating.
154
00:10:12,903 --> 00:10:15,406
Don't you egosurf yourself?
155
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:16,532
No, I don't.
156
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:19,577
Gimme your phone!
157
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:20,911
Oh! Give it back!
158
00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:21,954
Let's see.
159
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:24,165
That's a lot of digging.
160
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:28,461
Oh my, you've even put "cute"
in your search words.
161
00:10:28,544 --> 00:10:30,880
Did you wanna see
people call you cute that much?
162
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:34,759
Everyone says they don't egosurf,
but let me state this!
163
00:10:34,842 --> 00:10:37,094
Ninety percent of idols all egosurf!
164
00:10:37,678 --> 00:10:40,264
Try going to a wrap party after an event.
165
00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:44,685
It's funny how all musicians and
performers are egosurfing as they drink.
166
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:46,062
Whoa.
167
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:47,980
The world has entered a great egosurf era!
168
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:51,359
You can now access big data
without being an advertising agency,
169
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:54,987
so you can look up analytics
on reviews and target audience!
170
00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:57,198
Web advertising now costs
as much as traditional ads
171
00:10:57,281 --> 00:10:59,784
and is said to be
a two-trillion-yen market!
172
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:03,287
The days of ignoring
internet responses have ended.
173
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:07,500
The ones who lack online marketing are
the ones to retire first in society now.
174
00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:11,796
The content creators and the fans are now
mutually monitoring each other.
175
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:15,341
And in this industry,
we are the content itself.
176
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:21,972
Don't forget that if you gaze long into
an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
177
00:11:22,056 --> 00:11:23,224
AKANE'S NONEXISTENT
178
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:26,185
YUKI'S CUTE
AKANE'S NONEXISTENT…
179
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:28,437
I gotta work harder.
180
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:34,610
What are you doing?
181
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:38,864
I was taking a video for the show's
official Twitter and TikTok accounts.
182
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:39,990
Hm.
183
00:11:40,074 --> 00:11:45,162
We've been gaining lots of subscribers.
Well, that's all thanks to me of course!
184
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaking of which, Mem,
weren't you originally a TikToker?
185
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:51,502
Yup. There was no affiliate marketing
or Coins at the time,
186
00:11:51,585 --> 00:11:53,629
so I switched over to being a YouTuber.
187
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:56,132
Aqua, you upload something too!
188
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:59,635
I don't know how to use those platforms
for the youngsters, so it's okay.
189
00:11:59,718 --> 00:12:00,970
You old-timer!
190
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:01,887
Huh?
191
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:06,559
Huh?
192
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:13,482
Nobu, do you wanna go over there together?
193
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,403
Akane's making a move!
194
00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:19,363
I forgot about this girl.
195
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:21,323
Was it Akane?
196
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:24,827
Whether she's there or not,
isn't it the same?
197
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:28,622
They can kick out Akane,
so please add a new guy member!
198
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:32,126
"What should I do to stand out?"
199
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:36,130
Well, that's where you pull
a bad girl move and steal Nobu from Yuki.
200
00:12:36,213 --> 00:12:39,842
If you can do that, your character
will stand out and you'll draw attention.
201
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,303
Of course, that's not a direction
or anything.
202
00:12:42,386 --> 00:12:46,307
But the kids that can do that
are the ones who become popular.
203
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:48,767
I gotta work harder…
204
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:51,270
Wow! How pretty!
205
00:12:51,896 --> 00:12:54,857
My big sister's a manicurist,
so I learned this from her.
206
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:56,275
That's cool.
207
00:12:56,358 --> 00:12:58,152
Akane, I'll do yours too.
208
00:12:58,235 --> 00:12:59,361
Come here.
209
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,280
Uh, okay.
210
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:11,373
Akane, are you panicking lately?
211
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:17,087
The series is almost finished,
so I can understand.
212
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:18,714
It's not exactly like that.
213
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:23,719
I just want to stand out
to produce results, that's all.
214
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:26,305
I see.
215
00:13:27,806 --> 00:13:30,434
But I can't let you.
216
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:33,896
I'm going to fight
for the spotlight myself.
217
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:36,190
So don't think badly of me.
218
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:43,822
YUKI LIKE #LOVE_FOR_REAL
"I BET YUKI HAS A GOOD PERSONALITY"
219
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:45,783
AKANE LIKE #LOVE_FOR_REAL
NO SEARCH RESULTS
220
00:13:45,866 --> 00:13:49,453
I wonder why I'm so different from Yuki.
221
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:53,165
I need to stand out more than her.
222
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,340
And so then--
223
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:02,550
Ken!
224
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:06,512
You said you liked Labradors, right?
There's a big one over there!
225
00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:08,013
Oh, seriously?!
226
00:14:17,731 --> 00:14:19,733
I need to work hard and fight.
227
00:14:20,609 --> 00:14:23,571
For the sake of everyone
supporting me too.
228
00:14:24,321 --> 00:14:25,990
-Let's go!
-Stop it!
229
00:14:31,161 --> 00:14:33,664
Clinging to guys so easily!
230
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:35,541
You play too dirty…
231
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:41,005
Cut!
232
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:42,590
We'll stop the shoot once!
233
00:14:42,673 --> 00:14:43,966
Get a towel or tissues!
234
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:46,677
Doing that to a model's face
is a bit much…
235
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,138
She has a magazine shoot tomorrow, right?
236
00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:54,059
I… I… didn't mean to… No…
237
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:54,977
Akane.
238
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:55,895
I…
239
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:56,854
Akane!
240
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,776
I'm okay, so calm down!
241
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:08,240
I understand, you just panicked.
I know that you're a hard worker, Akane.
242
00:15:09,658 --> 00:15:11,994
You were trying to meet
everyone's expectations
243
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:16,332
and did something out of your comfort zone
so you got all confused, right?
244
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:22,713
Sorry… Your face…
And you have a magazine shoot…
245
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:26,926
Don't worry.
246
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:31,931
This will be easily erased in Photoshop,
so it won't affect work!
247
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:40,522
Akane, do you hate me?
248
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:44,860
I don't hate you.
249
00:15:45,569 --> 00:15:48,906
You're strong and kind, I like you.
250
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:54,328
Me too. I like you
and your hardworking, earnest self.
251
00:15:54,411 --> 00:15:56,163
That's why I won't get mad.
252
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:57,831
Really?
253
00:15:57,915 --> 00:16:01,961
The camera isn't rolling,
so there's no point in acting right now.
254
00:16:06,423 --> 00:16:07,758
If this were school,
255
00:16:07,841 --> 00:16:11,720
arguing a little and making up
would be a common story.
256
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:15,474
But even if the conflict is resolved
amongst themselves…
257
00:16:15,557 --> 00:16:16,934
AKANE WHO LAID A HAND ON YUKI…
258
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:19,353
AKANE KUROKAWA
259
00:16:19,436 --> 00:16:20,938
AKANE MUST BE WORSE OFF CAMERA…
260
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:22,272
SHE NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED…
261
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:23,399
THE DULL GIRL EMERGES…
262
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:24,566
I KNEW SHE WAS CRAZY…
263
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:25,526
AKANE'S DONE THIS BEFORE…
264
00:16:25,609 --> 00:16:26,443
SHE'S SO TRASHY LOL
265
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:30,197
…the internet won't allow it.
266
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,199
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
267
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:34,410
POST YOUR REVIEW
BY TWEETING #LOVE_FOR_REAL
268
00:16:35,452 --> 00:16:36,787
YOU'RE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.
269
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,288
DON'T EVER SHOW YOUR FACE AGAIN.
270
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:39,581
WHY DID THE SHOW USE HER?
271
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:40,666
WHO'S AKANE AGAIN? LOL
272
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:41,709
THE WORST ON THE SHOW.
273
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:42,835
PLEASE QUIT ALREADY.
274
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:46,505
"I knew it," is what I thought.
275
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:51,468
I thought I'd be forgiven
if I apologized properly.
276
00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:52,469
I AM TRULY SORRY…
277
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:54,346
Due to my contract with the show,
278
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:57,141
I can't say anything about
things that weren't filmed,
279
00:16:57,808 --> 00:17:02,146
but if I just explain
as much as I can and apologize…
280
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:04,648
But that triggered it.
281
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:06,483
-You make me want to puke.
-Be sorry you were born.
282
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:08,694
-Aren't you ashamed to be alive?
-You think an apology is enough?
283
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,655
Mem told me before…
284
00:17:12,239 --> 00:17:14,616
People gang up on those who apologize.
285
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,829
"If you apologize, you admit
that you did something bad, right?"
286
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:22,541
"We can punish you
if you did something bad."
287
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:24,084
That's what they think.
288
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:27,504
While apologizing is the ethically
correct choice as a Japanese person,
289
00:17:27,588 --> 00:17:30,507
it's the absolute worst thing
you could do in response to backlash.
290
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:32,634
REPENT BY DYING
291
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:35,929
I did something bad, so I deserve it.
292
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:40,809
This is everyone's opinion…
I shouldn't look away from it.
293
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:45,606
I even looked through
the criticisms as much as possible.
294
00:17:46,482 --> 00:17:50,694
Backlash is something
that hits the serious people harder.
295
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:53,238
They shouldn't even look
at the criticisms.
296
00:17:53,322 --> 00:17:57,451
But they try to earnestly accept
everyone's opinion head-on.
297
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:03,957
When I close my eyes, I can't think
of anything but the backlash.
298
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:10,089
So I tell myself that it'll calm down
by morning and force myself to sleep.
299
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:14,760
But there's no way that would happen.
300
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,679
Akane, are you okay?
301
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:19,723
You look pale.
302
00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:21,391
I'm fine.
303
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:23,727
You want to stay home tomorrow?
304
00:18:23,811 --> 00:18:26,146
I'm fine, I'll go to school.
305
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:34,279
You see Akane's news?
306
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:36,949
Isn't it crazy? I knew
she'd do something like this one day.
307
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:41,036
She always acts like a celebrity,
saying she has work and stuff.
308
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,997
Does she always have to act
like she's better than us?
309
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,666
Such an ugly personality.
310
00:18:45,749 --> 00:18:49,878
She always gives off this vibe like,
"I'm different from all of you."
311
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,631
I bet her posse of guys
are soothing her now.
312
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:54,341
I bet.
313
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:10,732
Akane, you seem down lately.
Is something wrong?
314
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,110
Did something happen at work?
315
00:19:13,193 --> 00:19:14,444
No.
316
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:20,200
These trashy hoes are born because
their moms don't teach them anything.
317
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:21,410
It's a cycle!
318
00:19:22,202 --> 00:19:24,872
I'm sorry, Mom…
319
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:28,876
For now, it's probably best
to not tweet anything right now.
320
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:34,590
Anything you say will just fuel the fire.
If you want to post something, tell me.
321
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:40,554
When a new episode released, I didn't have
the energy to check the comments.
322
00:19:41,138 --> 00:19:46,685
But after seeing the backlash
reignite like before,
323
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:49,104
I was able to guess what they'd said.
324
00:19:50,063 --> 00:19:55,277
And I also figured this will never settle
as long as this show is popular,
325
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,740
and that it's a problem that will haunt me
for the rest of my showbiz career.
326
00:20:05,579 --> 00:20:08,332
I know her from a long time ago,
327
00:20:08,415 --> 00:20:11,793
but she thinks she's different
from everyone else around her.
328
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:15,339
She probably believes
she's a genius or something.
329
00:20:15,422 --> 00:20:18,342
I doubt she would ever think
about the pain of others.
330
00:20:18,425 --> 00:20:21,720
Those goody-goody moves are
all just an act too, right?
331
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:24,640
I'm sure she's just partying
with guys in secret
332
00:20:24,723 --> 00:20:26,600
and never working that seriously.
333
00:20:26,683 --> 00:20:29,937
She always has a face on
like she's the center of the world.
334
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:33,523
I bet she's just a rich kid anyway,
she's never suffered any hardships.
335
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:35,984
Is there anyone who likes this brat?
336
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:39,029
These types of kids are useless
no matter what they do.
337
00:20:39,112 --> 00:20:40,405
I bet she doesn't have friends.
338
00:20:40,989 --> 00:20:44,826
You can tell how shallow she is
since she can't get along with others.
339
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:48,080
She's an idiot who doesn't think
about consequences.
340
00:20:48,163 --> 00:20:49,831
She's always surrounded by guys
341
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:53,085
and throws a fit
if she doesn't get her way, right?
342
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:57,089
She's probably never dedicated herself
to anything in her life.
343
00:20:57,172 --> 00:21:00,717
I see these types of selfish brats
around me too.
344
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:04,972
Narcissist. You don't belong anywhere.
345
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:24,741
This Akane who's been getting backlash
is the main cast at Theater Lalalai
346
00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:27,744
and she's a super hard worker.
347
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:31,957
But after seeing this incident, it makes
me feel like everything was faked.
348
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:35,585
I've been supporting her all this time,
but I can't anymore.
349
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:49,308
I was Akane's classmate up to middle
school, but everyone seriously hated her.
350
00:21:50,183 --> 00:21:52,769
I hear she messes around
and is a slut too.
351
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:55,856
She's completely finished as a celebrity.
352
00:21:55,939 --> 00:21:58,775
Nobody would use someone
who'd hit a model's face.
353
00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:01,069
Isn't she ugly too?
354
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:03,613
She does look like
she has a rotten personality.
355
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:08,577
Bye-bye, Akane.
Too bad we'll never see you on TV anymore.
356
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,538
NAMELESS ANONYMOUS:
SIMPLY PUT, DIE
357
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:16,960
YOU OKAY? YOU EATING?
358
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:18,462
EVERYONE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU
359
00:22:18,545 --> 00:22:21,923
Oh yeah, I haven't eaten anything.
360
00:22:24,968 --> 00:22:26,219
I'LL GO BUY SOME FOOD
361
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:27,846
DON'T GO LOL
A TYPHOON'S COMING LOL
362
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:37,939
I'm tired.
363
00:22:43,236 --> 00:22:46,531
I'm tired… of thinking.
364
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,458
I don't want to think anymore.
365
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,354
No! Let me go!
366
00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:19,106
Calm down!
367
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:24,945
I don't mean you any harm.
Please just calm down.
368
00:24:56,870 --> 00:25:01,875
