1
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:50,068
No! Let me go!
2
00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:51,528
Calm down!
3
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:57,367
I don't mean you any harm.
Please just calm down.
4
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:02,872
Aqua… how come?
5
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:07,210
Mem said you went out in the typhoon,
6
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:10,380
but you wouldn't return,
so she's looking around for you.
7
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:13,883
So I was following the route
to the convenience store.
8
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:15,885
You idiot.
9
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:22,642
Hey, you two!
10
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,145
That was dangerous earlier!
11
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:27,147
What are you guys doing?!
12
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:34,779
Akane Kurokawa's getting roasted.
13
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:37,949
Well, with that incident,
it's no surprise.
14
00:02:38,032 --> 00:02:42,745
Don't you get used to this type of thing
once you're a public figure?
15
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,080
More or less.
16
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:48,042
But it depends on the person,
so some people never get used to it.
17
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:50,461
Even for me,
18
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:54,799
depending on my mental state, there are
days when I think of actually dying too.
19
00:02:55,842 --> 00:03:01,848
The mind of a teenage girl receiving
a storm of criticism for the first time
20
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:04,559
must be something unimaginable for you.
21
00:03:05,476 --> 00:03:09,564
It's enough to make you believe
that your life is over.
22
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:15,695
Reality dating shows are popular
in countries all over the world,
23
00:03:15,778 --> 00:03:19,032
but it's produced
nearly 50 suicides up to now.
24
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:24,287
Depending on the country, counseling
for the cast is mandatory by law.
25
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:29,959
If 50 people are dead, then you should
think there are ten times more than that
26
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:34,339
who have thought of committing suicide,
but barely escaped death.
27
00:03:35,006 --> 00:03:38,635
Reality shows are a program
where you expose your true self.
28
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:42,055
The one who gets slammed is yourself,
not the show.
29
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:43,848
Of course that's tough.
30
00:03:44,515 --> 00:03:49,312
My brother said, "Lies are also
the best way to protect yourself."
31
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:51,564
That's well put.
32
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:55,818
It's good if you created a persona
to some degree,
33
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:59,239
but the more you show your true self,
the damage is deeper.
34
00:04:00,031 --> 00:04:03,660
Social media makes the slander
toward celebrities visible.
35
00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:06,204
By freedom of expression
and in the name of justice,
36
00:04:06,287 --> 00:04:09,499
someone is getting lynched
every day somewhere.
37
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:12,919
Everyone thinks of themselves
as an exception,
38
00:04:13,002 --> 00:04:15,338
but they are in fact cornering someone.
39
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:18,758
Your casual remark can kill people.
40
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,428
I wonder if Bro is okay.
41
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:24,597
Even if you're careful, it's useless.
42
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:32,438
Like they say,
"Everyone has their quirks."
43
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:34,857
Every person has some kind of flaw.
44
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:37,694
We all possess fuel to spark controversy.
45
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,199
Yes. That's correct.
46
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:46,452
What? Is that true?
47
00:04:46,536 --> 00:04:48,579
Yes. I'll be over right away.
48
00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:51,833
Is something wrong, CEO?
49
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:52,792
Aqua…
50
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:58,923
seems to be in trouble
with the police right now.
51
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:00,174
What?!
52
00:05:03,928 --> 00:05:07,473
My daughter told me
not to watch the program,
53
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,767
and I'm not familiar with the internet.
54
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,979
I never knew she was in such a situation.
55
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:15,064
Why didn't you tell me?
56
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:19,694
Because I didn't want to worry you!
57
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:28,786
When I was called,
I prepared myself for the worst.
58
00:05:29,662 --> 00:05:32,832
But good job, Aqua. I'm proud of you.
59
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:37,253
You look uninterested in others,
but you're watching over people.
60
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:39,547
It's not like that.
61
00:05:41,382 --> 00:05:43,176
People can die easily.
62
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:47,597
If someone screams for help, you gotta
move quickly or it'll be too late.
63
00:05:50,808 --> 00:05:53,561
But I'll charge Akane
for the taxi fare later.
64
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:55,563
You're cheap.
65
00:05:58,608 --> 00:05:59,400
Akane!
66
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,115
You idi…
67
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,576
Why did you make us worry?
68
00:06:09,243 --> 00:06:12,705
Why?! Why didn't you talk to us?!
69
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:13,623
Sorry…
70
00:06:14,290 --> 00:06:15,541
Akane.
71
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:18,419
What do you wanna do from here?
72
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:20,004
What do I wanna do?
73
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:23,966
I'm saying you have an option
to quit the show this way.
74
00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:28,346
But what about the contract and stuff?
75
00:06:28,429 --> 00:06:31,557
This is an issue that questions
the supervisory responsibility
76
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:34,102
of the program that uses minors.
77
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:38,523
Now that it's reached this point, they
wouldn't complain if you wanted to quit.
78
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:42,902
You're exposing your real name,
Akane Kurokawa, on the show.
79
00:06:43,694 --> 00:06:46,030
You decide where to draw the line.
80
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:54,831
I've been working hard all this time
to become more famous as an actress
81
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:58,084
and to continue acting.
82
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:02,588
Everyone's helped me out so much too…
83
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:05,716
But it ended up like this.
84
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,093
Akane…
85
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:08,845
I'm scared…
86
00:07:09,887 --> 00:07:12,181
I'm really scared…
87
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:17,603
But I'm gonna continue.
88
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:20,565
I don't wanna quit like this!
89
00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:22,817
Alright.
90
00:07:23,568 --> 00:07:25,862
You heard her. There's no problems, right?
91
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:27,280
Of course.
92
00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:29,532
That's what we've been saying
from the start.
93
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:32,201
We'll try to back you up
as much as possible too.
94
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:35,496
You all get along on this set.
95
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:38,458
Well, this set's entire cast is
around the same age.
96
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:41,711
I'm sure everyone's going to work together
97
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,755
and go through with the show
despite what's being said.
98
00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:49,427
But this leaves a bad aftertaste.
99
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:56,225
The show that fueled the fire and those
online who said whatever they wanted…
100
00:07:57,185 --> 00:07:58,978
they all piss me off.
101
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:00,980
PRESS CLUB
102
00:08:01,063 --> 00:08:03,983
The police station has something
called a press club.
103
00:08:04,942 --> 00:08:10,531
Various media journalists stand by
24 hours to pick up the latest news
104
00:08:11,073 --> 00:08:14,368
and they're all waiting eagerly
for a scoop.
105
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:15,870
TEENAGE ACTRESS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
106
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:18,998
Now you've gone and done it…
107
00:08:19,081 --> 00:08:21,375
I was a fool for complimenting you.
108
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:24,337
I hope you know where this is going.
109
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:27,715
Yeah, although I don't know
if it'll go well.
110
00:08:28,799 --> 00:08:31,427
Now this is where
the real reality show begins.
111
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:35,348
The news of Akane's
suicide attempt spread,
112
00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:38,351
and it sparked various debates
in the community.
113
00:08:38,935 --> 00:08:41,020
Of course there were those who backed off,
114
00:08:41,103 --> 00:08:43,105
but new disputes
and slander increased too.
115
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:46,943
It gained attention,
but there's no net positive outcome.
116
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:50,613
This kind of thing just isn't a good
countermeasure against backlash.
117
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:55,826
In fact, Akane Kurokawa
is still on hiatus right now,
118
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:57,870
and she has no plans of returning yet.
119
00:08:58,829 --> 00:09:00,289
You selfish child.
120
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:03,334
Can you take responsibility
for making this a big issue?
121
00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:06,379
I don't think this is a bad bet.
122
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:10,883
The amount of attention is the same
as the poker chips on the table.
123
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:16,138
If she folds now, Akane will lose big
without having put up a fight.
124
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:18,641
You can't win if you don't raise.
125
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,144
I still bet even if I have only one ace.
126
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,899
Real life is nothing like poker.
127
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:31,654
What? You want videos and pictures
with everyone in it?
128
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,992
But I don't have that many.
Maybe only 100 or less.
129
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:37,410
You've got a ton.
130
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:39,203
What do you wanna use it for?
131
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:41,914
Love For Real
is content edited by a pro, right?
132
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:47,420
So there's an intent there to make Akane
the villain to make the show interesting.
133
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:52,091
If you just cut out parts of a story
and patch it together,
134
00:09:52,174 --> 00:09:54,135
even a saint can look like a criminal.
135
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:56,178
That's what staging does.
136
00:09:56,929 --> 00:10:00,933
I have the filmmaking skills,
so if I just have the materials…
137
00:10:01,517 --> 00:10:02,810
I see.
138
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:07,189
In other words, you want to make
a Love For Real in our own perspective.
139
00:10:07,857 --> 00:10:11,360
Whose advice was that?
Did you think of it yourself?
140
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:13,279
Hm? I did.
141
00:10:14,155 --> 00:10:17,158
Really, that's not a bad idea.
142
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:21,912
This situation now
in advertising agency terms is called
143
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:26,959
"A situation with many active viewers
where many impressions can be expected."
144
00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:30,254
Akane's backlash stands out
at first glance,
145
00:10:30,338 --> 00:10:32,590
but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
146
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:36,510
In reality, that's only a small percentage
of the viewers.
147
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:39,013
The sensitive topic of attempted suicide…
148
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:42,808
Most of the audience are wondering
if they should support or criticize.
149
00:10:42,892 --> 00:10:44,769
They're the silent majority.
150
00:10:44,852 --> 00:10:47,772
In other words,
many users are looking for an answer.
151
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:51,859
That's where you provide
a highly relatable opinion,
152
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:55,780
then most people will believe
that's what's correct in this market.
153
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:59,283
We're the focus of attention right now,
154
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:02,453
so we might be able to
completely overwrite public opinion.
155
00:11:02,536 --> 00:11:06,916
And we have the access to upload
your video to the official accounts too.
156
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:08,834
The user flow is secured.
157
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:12,588
Depending on the video's quality,
we can expect it to go super viral.
158
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:16,217
Once it's finished, gimme the data!
I'll upload it!
159
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:17,802
Well, I could do that much--
160
00:11:17,885 --> 00:11:22,723
Do you know which day and time
is best to upload to get the most retweets
161
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:26,560
and how many characters in a post
gives the highest impressions?
162
00:11:26,644 --> 00:11:27,645
No…
163
00:11:27,728 --> 00:11:31,982
I came this far through online marketing
and self-promoting, you know?
164
00:11:32,566 --> 00:11:35,986
I may not look it,
but I'm a pro at making content go viral.
165
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:39,407
Hm. Then I'll provide the music.
166
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:41,409
You can do that?
167
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:46,038
Well, I am a pro who belongs
to a record label, living off music.
168
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:51,252
I write the songs for my band
and offer music to others too.
169
00:11:52,336 --> 00:11:54,588
I just gotta make
some teary emotional songs, right?
170
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:55,506
Piece of cake!
171
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:56,966
Whoa.
172
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,885
But you know,
don't we want that one scene?
173
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:00,970
Which scene?
174
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:06,225
You know, the scene where Akane hit me
and I kindly hugged her!
175
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:10,104
Ah! Oh, but the camera
wasn't rolling there--
176
00:12:10,187 --> 00:12:11,480
Don't underestimate me.
177
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:16,944
You think a pro model like me wouldn't
take notice of the static camera position?
178
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:20,739
I put us in a position
that'd make us perfectly appear on camera.
179
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:23,367
So much for a natural reaction…
180
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:28,622
The staff definitely has the footage.
They're hiding it on purpose!
181
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:30,583
It's so unfair!
182
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,131
Well, yeah, we do have it.
183
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:41,510
But it's prohibited to carry out
video data. I can't lend it to you.
184
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:43,012
That's true.
185
00:12:43,804 --> 00:12:45,055
If that gets out,
186
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:49,894
it's like admitting the show set up
a cast member to look like a villain.
187
00:12:51,854 --> 00:12:55,399
If that happens while we're attracting
this much attention,
188
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:59,153
Akane's bashing may shift
towards the show.
189
00:12:59,236 --> 00:13:01,280
You catch on quick.
190
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:05,826
What we're doing is a form
of entertainment known as a reality show.
191
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:09,788
Everyone watches the show
looking forward to the real drama.
192
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:13,584
We don't force anything onto Akane.
193
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:15,461
She makes the decisions,
194
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:18,797
and we're just staging it
so that the audience easily understands.
195
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:22,635
If she refused the job,
we wouldn't have used her either.
196
00:13:22,718 --> 00:13:24,011
Am I wrong?
197
00:13:24,094 --> 00:13:26,472
Akane has
a highly responsible personality.
198
00:13:27,932 --> 00:13:30,309
I know, I've been filming her.
199
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:33,812
Akane is a pro,
but we're also doing this as a profession.
200
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:35,814
A pro, huh…
201
00:13:36,857 --> 00:13:38,609
Director, how old are you?
202
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:40,069
I'm 35.
203
00:13:40,694 --> 00:13:41,820
Akane's 17.
204
00:13:43,781 --> 00:13:45,574
Whether she's a pro or not,
205
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,827
a 17-year-old is just a damn brat
who makes a bunch of mistakes.
206
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:57,336
If the grown-ups won't protect the kids,
then who will?
207
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:08,305
You got a point there.
208
00:14:10,391 --> 00:14:12,142
Ugh, no, no!
209
00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:15,729
Make that shot long, so it'll look more
like an amateur worked on it!
210
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:17,273
This is where you add my song!
211
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:18,983
Make it go "Bang!"
212
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:20,651
Shut up…
213
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:24,321
The staff gave me this photo!
214
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:26,365
Awesome! Let's use it!
215
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:27,533
Um, the composition…
216
00:14:29,118 --> 00:14:30,035
Nice!
217
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,038
Looks real nice!
218
00:14:45,634 --> 00:14:50,180
Come on, Director, it finished encoding.
We're gonna post it.
219
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:53,934
Damn it, that computer
has some good specs.
220
00:14:54,018 --> 00:14:55,728
Let me sleep more…
221
00:14:55,811 --> 00:14:58,147
I wonder how many views it'll get.
222
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:00,774
I hope it hits at least 5,000.
223
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:02,902
Even that's pretty hard.
224
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:06,655
The videos you put more effort into
don't take off as expected sometimes.
225
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:10,200
If we can get 100 retweets
in the first minute,
226
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:13,454
it should ultimately
become a pretty viral video.
227
00:15:13,537 --> 00:15:14,371
A hundred?
228
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:18,334
Well, we did all that we could.
Now, let's go for the showdown!
229
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:20,461
You haven't done anything though.
230
00:15:20,544 --> 00:15:22,379
Why are you acting like the leader?

I understand, you just panicked.
240
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:56,997
Sorry… Your face…
And you have a magazine shoot…
241
00:15:57,581 --> 00:15:58,499
Don't worry.
242
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:01,251
Akane, do you hate me?
243
00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:02,419
I don't hate you.
244
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:06,006
You're strong and kind, I like you.
245
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:11,512
Me too. I like you
and your hardworking, earnest self.
246
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:12,763
That's why I won't get mad.
247
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:29,863
This video received
74,000 retweets 24 hours later.
248
00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:33,784
It revamped Akane Kurokawa's image,
249
00:16:33,867 --> 00:16:37,287
as well as established Love For Real's
popularity at the same time.
250
00:16:37,871 --> 00:16:39,039
THE CAST IS CLOSE…
251
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,290
YUKI DOESN'T WANT BASHING…
252
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:42,376
IT'S TRENDY TO SLAM THE SHOW NOW? LOL
253
00:16:42,459 --> 00:16:43,293
ALL AT ONCE TOO
254
00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:48,007
The backlash had settled to some degree.
255
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,884
Why I word that vaguely is because
256
00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:53,887
there is no complete solution to backlash.
257
00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:55,139
Akane!
258
00:16:55,764 --> 00:16:59,101
I'm sure this matter will continue
to be brought up again,
259
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:01,895
and even a decade later,
there will be those who mention it.
260
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:06,900
But… Yeah,
I'll return starting the next shoot.
261
00:17:06,984 --> 00:17:08,360
I'm so glad!
262
00:17:08,444 --> 00:17:10,654
But don't push yourself to go on the show.
263
00:17:11,238 --> 00:17:13,782
Uh, that wasn't meant in a bad way, okay?
264
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:16,910
Since I want you to go on the show
even if you pushed yourself!
265
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:17,911
I know.
266
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:23,125
I feel that it's become a difficult world
to voice your opinion.
267
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:26,503
I bet I would've gotten backlash for it
if I tweeted that now.
268
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,338
I seriously gotta be careful.
269
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:32,176
From now on, maybe you should
create a bit of a persona?
270
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,096
If you show your true self,
it'll hit you harder if you get slammed.
271
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:37,097
A persona?
272
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,015
That's true…
273
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:42,186
If you act out some kind of role,
that'll become your armor.
274
00:17:42,269 --> 00:17:45,064
If you expose your true self,
you just get hurt.
275
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:48,567
This isn't exactly limited
to reality shows either.
276
00:17:48,650 --> 00:17:51,403
It's a vital concept in socializing too.
277
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:54,073
Since Aqua's a man of many faces too, so…
278
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,742
You can show us more
of yourself, you know?
279
00:17:56,825 --> 00:17:57,910
I refuse.
280
00:17:58,535 --> 00:18:02,081
I'm good at acting, so maybe I'll try it.
281
00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:04,917
That's right,
you are an actress after all, Akane.
282
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,419
Rather, that's the only strength I have…
283
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:11,256
But what kind of role should I act out?
284
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,549
Hmm.
285
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:15,844
Aqua, what kind of girl is your type?
286
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:17,012
Why me?
287
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,931
Because you're the only guy here.
288
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,683
Tell her what your ideal girl is like.
289
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:23,769
Ideal…
290
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:29,483
A girl with a pretty face.
291
00:18:29,566 --> 00:18:30,776
Ugh, that's the worst.
292
00:18:30,859 --> 00:18:32,986
You are the epitome of lookism.
293
00:18:33,904 --> 00:18:35,656
With a bright smile like sunshine.
294
00:18:35,739 --> 00:18:37,616
A perfect performance.
295
00:18:37,699 --> 00:18:39,493
An invincible manner and speech.
296
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,120
Huh?
297
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,999
Natural captivating eyes.
298
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:48,544
You say some difficult stuff.
299
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:50,254
That's vague…
300
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:53,507
Hmm, but maybe it's like her?
301
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:55,634
Maybe like B Komachi's Ai?
302
00:18:56,593 --> 00:18:59,471
Ai as in the idol
who died a long time ago?
303
00:18:59,555 --> 00:19:00,389
Uh-huh.
304
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:01,890
Am I wrong?
305
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:04,143
Uh, well, that's about right.
306
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:06,645
Ah, so you like these types!
307
00:19:06,728 --> 00:19:08,730
You're a sucker for pretty faces!
308
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:15,404
I'll try acting out
Aqua's type of girl then.
309
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:17,698
Do it!
310
00:19:17,781 --> 00:19:19,491
Make Aqua fall for you!
311
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:20,450
Yeah!
312
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:25,706
No one can copy Ai.
She's a natural-born star.
313
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:31,170
I'll do my best.
314
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:36,466
Aqua worked hard
to make that video for me.
315
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:40,262
He also came to find me in a storm.
316
00:19:41,388 --> 00:19:42,472
That made me happy.
317
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:45,642
I need to repay him.
318
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:50,856
I wonder if he'll be happy
if I act out his type and showed him.
319
00:19:52,649 --> 00:19:56,195
B Komachi's Ai… I need to gather data.
320
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:02,868
Her main trait must be those eyes.
321
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:05,120
Did it come from self-confidence?
322
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,038
NATURAL CAPTIVATING EYES
323
00:20:06,121 --> 00:20:09,041
If so, that means her desire
for recognition was being satisfied.
324
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:11,043
Her social life seems limited.
325
00:20:11,668 --> 00:20:14,546
But I'm sure there was something
with the opposite sex…
326
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,423
Was her home environment good?
327
00:20:16,506 --> 00:20:20,385
No, this personality probably developed
from a very bad one.
328
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:23,305
It seems she had some type of bias
towards the way she loved others.
329
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,599
Secretive but desired exposure.
330
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:27,935
A perfectionist despite being reckless.
331
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:29,811
Careless but overly persistent.
332
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:31,939
The type to save money.
333
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:33,690
Rather disinterested in fashion.
334
00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:34,733
Good vision.
335
00:20:34,816 --> 00:20:36,318
Sensitive ears and nose.
336
00:20:36,401 --> 00:20:37,569
Long steps when walking.
337
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:39,238
Relatively poorly educated.
338
00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:41,073
A crooked way of holding chopsticks.
339
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:42,991
Signs of developmental disorder.
340
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,703
An unbalance seen in girls who've had
intercourse at the adolescent stage.
341
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:58,215
From around 15 years old, you can see
an improvement in her reckless behavior.
342
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:03,971
I wonder if she met someone nice?
343
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:05,055
ICHIGO PRODUCTION
SAITOU
344
00:21:05,138 --> 00:21:09,142
Akane Kurokawa went through a disaster.
Does she seem okay?
345
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:11,603
Yeah, she recovered somehow.
346
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:12,604
I see.
347
00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:17,359
Aww, I wish she had just retired.
348
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,610
Hey…
349
00:21:18,694 --> 00:21:21,697
Oh! No, no, that's not what I meant!
350
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:23,365
As a business rival!
351
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:28,996
Ugh, a bad choice of words can be scary.
That would've blown up if I tweeted that.
352
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,916
Even as a business rival,
that doesn't make it sound any better.
353
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,753
Well, as someone who's the same age
with the same job as an actress…
354
00:21:37,796 --> 00:21:40,340
she's like an eyesore.
355
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:43,760
You can understand
when you want your rival to fall, right?
356
00:21:46,054 --> 00:21:48,515
It's basically Schadenfreude.
357
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:51,768
Kana Arima feels that way
toward Akane Kurokawa?
358
00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:53,520
Well of course.
359
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:59,735
Right. You had no interest in theater.
360
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:01,778
Well, you only act in front of a camera.
361
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:06,533
Akane Kurokawa of Theater Lalalai
362
00:22:06,616 --> 00:22:10,662
is famous in the theater world
for being a genius actress.
363
00:22:15,083 --> 00:22:17,586
Akane will return starting today.
364
00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:22,924
Everyone, I apologize
for causing so much trouble.
365
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:25,761
I'd like to make up for it
with my efforts from here.
366
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:27,512
I kindly ask for your cooperation!
367
00:22:29,931 --> 00:22:32,267
Now then, please stand by for the camera.
368
00:22:33,935 --> 00:22:34,811
Let's go.
369
00:22:35,937 --> 00:22:36,772
Yeah.
370
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:40,776
Sure, Aqua.
371
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:55,290
I'm so sleepy! This shoot is too early.
372
00:22:55,373 --> 00:22:58,293
Oh, is the camera rolling already?
373
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:04,800
Tee-hee!
374
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:40,854
