The enforcers of old frameworks grow restless.
Weathered buildings creak louder.
The systems that define people are crumbling in Japan.
Something big is about to change.
A story about the near future.
Everyone has their phones out.
She's speaking Chinese.
- Ming, go. - No, no, I can't.
She says, "no minors allowed."
Tell her we'll pay more.
Hurry up!
- What did she say? - She told us to move.
What, why?
Should we go back to school?
Can you ask again?
- I can't. - Please.
One more time.
English?
- Tomu, Tomu. - No, I can't!
What should I tell the others?
Tell them to hurry and bring beer!
Police! Get back!
Yuta!
- Let's go. - We just got in!
Stop the sound! Can you hear me?
Hey, get back!
The second half of the set is better.
Did that happen?
Holy shit.
Next, empty your pockets.
Just a phone.
Yuta Irie. A highschooler?
You shouldn't be here. Go home.
No, I'm Zainichi Korean.
So many foreigners...
My family has been here for four generations.
Show me your special permanent residency card.
I don't think I need to carry it.
Kou's a highschooler, like me.
It won't turn back on.
Which button was it?
There! Let's go!
Hold up!
Stop right there!
Let's go back to the school club!
Mr. Principal!
You're still working?
I have a dinner meeting.
You got a Z this time?
How cool. I used to want one as well.
Stop!
I just washed it, sorry.
Sorry.
Shio-chan, hurry up.
- Hurry up. - Naga-chan, you forgot the mayor's gift.
Oh, right, I forgot.
What are you doing?
I called a taxi.
We're about to drink!
- Why is the principal still here? - Should we leave?
I can't believe you drive that.
Hey, over here.
Park the car!
Later!
Bring us our bags.
Make sure to park it later.
Kitty!
Come on out.
Meow! Where are you?
Come on out.
Hey now.
Meow!
Tomu, are we good?
- Oh, he left! - We can turn it up?
Go for it.
Damn!
This is good.
This next?
Totally.
- You still doing homework? - Yeah, I know.
No homework in the music research club!
I'm almost done.
Can you not?
MUSIC RESEARCH CLUB
Look at the principal's car.
So pathetic.
Kill me if I turn into a guy like him.
No way, that's crazy.
It'll be funny!
- How do you come up with these things? - You know you want see it.
Maybe a little.
Rock paper scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Shoot!
Alright, alright!
Ok, fine.
- Crazy, right? - This is crazy!
- We did it. - It was his idea.
- We need to get out of here! - Hurry!
I hope Tomu woke up.
He slept past his stop the other day.
- But he always gets to school on time. - It's a mystery.
See you.
Bye!
- 'Night! - Bye!
I'm going home.
- Can I sleep over? - Why?
- Your place is that way. - But I'll be lonely!
Your place is that way!
No way!
That way! Go home.
- No way! - I said go home!
Bye.
Love you!
Yeah, yeah.
I love you, Kou!
Okay! Be quiet!
- I can't hear you! - Shut up. Yes, I love you.
- See you tomorrow. - It's already today.
Bye.
Earthquake.
This alert is a false alarm.
False alarm, again?
Just kill me now!
I'd rather die than go to work, right?
Kou, when do you graduate?
Soon.
Come work with us when you graduate.
- Lots of construction after the earthquake— - No, Kou is going to college.
Did you get that scholarship?
Not yet.
I have a good feeling about it.
You should be thankful we have work.
Nothing good will come of a real earthquake.
Alright, let's go.
- Thanks for the meal. - Thanks.
Have a good day.
Next in the news...
- Clean up if you're done. - Was just about to.
Prime Minister Kito announced the passage of the emergency decree
which expands the power of the government
in emergency situations.
There is a once-in-a-century earthquake on the horizon.
We must do anything we can
to protect the peaceful lives of Japanese citizens.
You'll be late.
This responsibility has been entrusted to me the Prime Minister.
- The principal's? - Yeah, like a domino.
They called the police.
- I wonder who did it. - Maybe it's him.
Yo.
The police are on their way.
Shall we cancel classes or send them to homeroom?
Is this terrorism?
Huh?
- Cancel classes. - Okay.
- Hold on. - Yes!
- Have them wait. - In homeroom?
- Homeroom! - Yes!
Go to your homeroom!
Homeroom!
Stay put once you're there!
Homeroom!
Go to your homeroom!
Maybe I'll become a police officer.
Since there'll always be delinquents like these ones.
Right?
- Bad kids. - Naughty children.
Don't they have height requirements?
What?
- Height requirements. - Say that again?
- Don't they— - They do not!
I'm taller than that!
As soon as I'm a cop I'm going to blacklist you!
The cops are...
bureaucrats with weapons who protect the wealth of a country and its rich.
Am I grounded?
Alright.
It's your turn.
Get up!
Yuta, you're such a naughty boy.
I'm sorry, but you only care about your car.
This boy got so lonely.
I'm sorry, I get lonely too.
Is that true, sir?
You're always with Kou.
All I have is my baby Z.
I wish you told me you were lonely.
I'm sorry I never noticed.
Yuta, did you lose weight?
So, you left your phone at home because you're digital detoxing
and can't provide your location data on the night of the incident.
Yes.
I learn best not from my phone
but from listening to my teachers!
Who's next?
You also left your phone at home like him?
Where were you last night?
Answer the question.
I have the right to remain silent.
Don't act like you know what you're doing.
I know one of you guys did it.
Why would you say that without proof?
Have you ever heard of “pattern recognition”?
When you've been a principal long enough
you don't have to be an AI to recognize patterns in behavior.
Especially kids with your background.
What do you mean?
I mean... you're a different demographic from a normal Japanese person.
What do you mean “normal”?
Drinking with bureaucrats and flaunting your sportscar?
- How dare you! - It's fine.
So what?
Are you saying you can pay to earthquake-proof this school?
- Of course not. - You've been receiving tuition support—
Mr. Principal. Please..
All 428 high schools in Tokyo have applied for the same funds.
Of course you have to lubricate the wheels!
Right?
Or do you want to die in this building
when the earthquake comes?
I'm doing all of this for your safety.
If you keep at it
I'll have to reconsider your college recommendation letter.
I'll pretend I didn't see this.
Can I get my phone?
Why'd you have to talk back? He's going to know we saw him.
Didn't you hear what he said?
I get it but he's always like that.
Just play the game.
Are you ok?
Here.
Thanks.
That principal is the worst.
How he just slips in racism.
Right?
Why are people in power always like that?
Good of you to say it to his face. It was cool.
Well...
it's normal.
That car stunt was so radical and artistic.
I wonder who did it?
I wish I came up with it.
Kou!
See you.
Your phone.
Alright, man.
Let's put the car back then.
That's not what I'm mad about.
Earthquake.
It's big.
Yuta!
What was that sound?
Holy shit.
Look!
BREAKING: EMERGENCY DECREE IN EFFECT
EMERGENCY SALE! 20% OFF ALL CANNED GOODS
BREAKING NEWS:
ATTACK ON PM KITO DURING PRESS CONFERENCE
Why are you protecting someone spewing hate?
Don't you think it's wrong?
I'll bring you a new one right away.
Crazy day.
- ...letting them vote will ruin Japanese culture. - Down with Kito!
- Sorry we're late. - Yo, what's up.
- It's wild outside. - I know right?
Alright, let's go.
We can't let that happen! Don't you think so?
- Let us stand with Prime Minister Kito. - Down with Kito!
We must take back Japan.
A nation we're proud of!
- You're here. - We stayed over.
- Back from America? - Yep.
Thanks for letting us stay.
- Do you guys want breakfast? - We're okay!
See you.
Brat.
REPLAY: FOOD THROWN AT PM KITO
If you studied history, you'd know that every time there is an earthquake
illegal foreigners and anti-Japanese groups conduct vicious crimes.
Therefore, we must increase the presence of the police—
You fascist!
What a waste.
It's delicious.
If only I could vote.
NON-JAPANESE
Go to school.
See you.
Stand!
You don't have to do it for me.
Sit.
I regret to inform you
but there's something I need to explain.
- What's that? - Hey, Ataro.
UNOFFICIAL UNIFORM: MINUS ONE POINT
Ata-chan
you got a point off.
What? It's never been a problem!
Fuck you.
Three points, three points, three points!
You got this!
Ata-chan!
Your parents were notified at ten points!
What?
Hold on a second.
Wait, hold on.
I didn't know that would happen!
You scared me!
- That protest the other day... - Yeah?
I was actually watching from the cafe.
Oh, really?
I don't need friends.
- Don't say that. - Isn't it crazy?
We get an awful surveillance system and no one says a word.
You're equally to blame, Okada.
- Why? - Didn't you speak up?
I did! I said what I had to.
But when the principal brought up “safety”
everyone critical of him went silent.
They all go, “Well, if it's about safety...”
Exactly the same tactic as Prime Minister Kito.
No one has any imagination anymore.
That tyrant is faking an emergency to try and run a dictatorship.
Why don't people have a sense of urgency?
People used to have more imagination. Our generation is hopeless.
Don't scare him off now.
I don't want to be so pissed off all the time.
But why wouldn't I be angry seeing injustice repeated everywhere?
No one in my generation thinks about these things.
They've all already given up.
I mean...
Don't you think so too, Kou?
What are you laughing about?
But...
it sounds like you've given up on our generation too, Fumi.
Kou is right!
Right?
You need to have more hope in your generation.
The other guests have arrived.
You're late!
- You're early. - Who's the newbie?
Sorry.
Where's Kou?
I don't know.
Yuta, how far are we going?
Yuta's in a bad mood.
What's there to be happy about in a time like this?
Yuta and Kou will probably be famous musicians
and they'll go abroad.
What do I have?
I'm dumb and poor.
You'll find something, Ata-chan.
Well you'll be fine, Ming.
You're smart and can speak Chinese, you can go anywhere.
- I can't really— - And Tomu, once you're in America—
What?
You haven't told him yet?
- I told Kou. - That's not good.
You have to tell Yuta.
Have you ever talked to him about stuff like this?
Yuta.
We need to talk.
What is it?
After I graduate
I'm going to America.
America?
Why?
I'm going to a university in America.
Seriously?
Congratulations!
I was actually scared to tell you.
Why were you scared?
That's exciting!
You've always said we should all stay together after graduation.
So... I couldn't bring myself to tell you.
But I'm glad you seem fine—
You okay?
I should've told him sooner.
He'll get over it.
Hey!
Come here!
Yukimatsu was DJing here.
It was wild!
- Yuta. - The booth was here.
Funktion One speakers on both sides.
There were these lights here.
I want to see where my dad grew up.
- Lighting on both sides— - I have relatives there.
I haven't seen them in a while.
- I wonder if one subwoofer will be— - I'll be in Detroit!
The techno mecca.
Nice sound.
Quiet cities are scary, aren't they?
America sounds great.
Seems way more fun than Japan.
Well, apparently America is pretty bad too.
Want to come live with me?
We can look for a big house.
- You're too idealistic, Takuro! - “One day, a teacher at school”
- But violence is itself an authoritarian act! - “he preached in front of his students.”
Has a peaceful protest ever been effective?
“If you don't get 100 on your test”
- Those in power never listen. - “you can't be a respectable person.”
“Hey!”
“Eat shit and die!”
“The most important person in the world"
"is a computer.”
Can protesting really change society?
I wonder.
But if it gets big enough to halt an economy
those up top tend to compromise.
What comes after?
What do you think, Kou?
There's a protest next week.
You want to go? Fumi will be there.
Right, Fumi?
- The protest next week. - I'm going.
- I want to go. - Good.
We're still young. You can relearn Chinese.
Apparently my Chinese is like a kindergartener.
And of course I can't speak Taiwanese.
When I speak to my dad
my mom has to interpret for me.
Isn't that hilarious?
Ming.
You can say important things without words.
Right, Ata-chan?
Yeah, exactly!
Here.
You'll be ok, Ming.
You're smart.
Right, Tomu?
Yeah.
You idiot!
Stop!
That tickles.
Good morning.
Morning.
Here.
This is what I was telling you about.
You read books on paper?
For books I like.
Thanks.
We're all meeting up tonight. Want to come?
What's wrong?
There's nothing I can do.
Of course it's a fire hazard with all that equipment.
You took off the smoke detector.
They found beer cans.
You better give up.
Be thankful that the principal didn't expel you.
Oh, thanks.
You can't use that room
but you can apply to use the equipment.
Here are the forms.
Write the equipment and the times of use.
Only while school is open.
Mr. Tominaga.
You had ten points off, right?
Make sure you clean the room by the end of the week.
Here.
Really?
Fire hazard, my ass.
They never cared and now they're suddenly worried?
There's not much we can do.
What, are you serious?
This place is clearly ours.
Everyone knows it.
Technically, it's the school's.
“Technically...” come on.
He just came up with a random reason to spite us.
That fucking principal!
Let's just bring everything to that club.
- How? - We'll steal it.
Good idea!
Let's steal it. Forget this dumb security system.
But the cameras...
We shouldn't be surveilled in the first place.
Stealing's probably like five points.
But I already have ten—
You're giving up before we even try?
You going to follow rules just because they're rules?
Earthquake.
Do we have an evacuation drill today?
I don't think so.
So is this...?
Everyone stay calm and exit.
It's not getting you!
You're all good.
A little to the left.
ILLICIT SEXUAL ACTIVITY: MINUS THREE POINTS
They're coming! Leave the subwoofer!
What are you doing? Come!
I'm going.
What, why?
Where are you going?
I just... have a thing.
- You got a girlfriend? - What?
Seriously—
That girl?
For real?
Guys, did you hear?
He has a girlfriend!
Congrats!
Why didn't you tell me?
Do you ever think about anything other than music?
Do you even know what's going on in the world?
What's wrong all of a sudden?
Come on, man.
We'll all die while you just merrily go on.
If we're going to die let's have fun.
Hey, Kou.
Check this out.
Kimbap.
You never see them in convenience stores.
I'm sure it's not as good as your mom's, but—
I can't take how ignorant he is.
I'm done.
I get it.
I know what you mean.
But we don't have much time left together.
Down with Kito!
Sorry!
You're late. Do you think I'd hire someone who's late?
There was a protest outside and I couldn't get through.
Down with Kito!
You're a DJ? Unusual these days.
- You like old music? - Yes
I don't really listen to anything new. Everything's been done before.
All we can do is to discover old gems from the past.
Don't say such a sad thing.
Can you be on time every shift?
Maybe.
Kid, in these situations, just say “yes.”
Yes.
Yusaku.
This is Yuta Irie. He'll start part-time on weekends.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
An earthquake occurred. All protesters must disperse.
ANTI GOVERNMENT PROTEST TURNS VIOLENT
POLICE INTENSIFY CRACKDOWN
I was the one who invited them.
I take responsibility for this.
I'm so sorry.
No, we went to the protest on our own will.
That's not it. We went because we wanted to!
Our right to protest is protected by freedom of speech!
You're bothering the other students!
Besides, protesting and rioting are different things.
It wasn't a riot! It was a peaceful demonstration!
- Then why are the police here? - There was an earthquake.
The alarms went off
some cops got nervous and became violent.
The police's job is to protect citizens—
The police only protect those in power!
I have videos. Riot cops did this to me!
- This! - Hey!
You kids stay quiet!
Get back!
Like I said before
I was the one who encouraged them to go to the protest.
They did nothing wrong.
I will take any punishment, please.
- What's the matter with your school? - I deeply apologize.
Their parents are on their way. We will give them warnings.
A warning won't do—
- Move! - Excuse me!
What's going on?
Did Mr. Okada take my kid to a riot?
Explain!
I'm so sorry for whatever my son has done.
I'm so sorry.
Couldn't you have rebelled in a cuter way?
I'm not “rebelling.”
Like getting a secret tattoo. What about music?
- You said you and Yuta were going to start— - I said...
I went to the protest to try to change something.
Don't get high and mighty.
All you care about is living an easy life.
It's not easy.
Not at all.
Even now.
That's why I want you to be able to choose your future.
If you have a criminal record you can't naturalize even if you wanted to.
Don't you see I'll beg the principal or whoever
if that will help you?
Kou. Have you ever thought about that?
You don't need to beg anyone anymore.
Is everything ok?
- It's Fukuko-san. - Good evening.
Be careful, Fukuko-san.
Crime is on the rise around here.
Let us know if you see anything.
Thank you. Thanks for the hard work.
Change seats with me.
Due to unforeseen circumstances I will be taking over for Okada.
Huh, why?
I'm not as easygoing as him, so tighten up!
Where're the commands?
Stand!
You have to stop this habit or you'll be arrested some day.
Want to go bring the subwoofer to the club?
Sorry, I can't.
I have to bring documents to the embassy.
Look at this.
Printed out in this day and age. Isn't it annoying?
Where are Ata-chan and Ming?
What?
You're actually cleaning?
I got points, remember?
I just mopped that part!
- Help me if you're gonna be here. - I'm not the one who's in trouble.
Can you not step where I mopped?
It's clearly still wet.
So we wait here until it dries?
Mr. Irie, what is it?
Did you submit a form?
What are you doing with that key?
Five points off if you walk out with those keys!
Shut up.
Hey.
That's against the rules!
Hey, no smoking.
School's over. Leave me alone.
You can't smoke within twenty meters of the school.
It's illegal to begin with.
Yeah, yeah, you're right. Sorry.
Hey. Don't litter.
SMOKING: MINUS TEN POINTS
Why?
Captain, you shouldn't be smoking.
That wasn't right.
Look, look.
What...why?
Again! Look!
Go!
The emergency decree...
is in effect.
For your safety...
please refrain from...
unnecessary...
assemblies.
I repeat.
The emergency decree...
I'm going home.
A date again?
There are more important things than “dates” and “girlfriends.”
Like what?
Sex?
Ridiculous.
- Rock paper scissors. - No.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
What's so important anyway?
Are you serious? You think you can keep just “having fun” with friends?
Yes, I do!
So what?
You think fanatic yelling on the street can actually change anything?
The world is already over. Face reality!
If you lower your expectations you'd have more fun in life.
Shut up!
How can you say that?
You're so ignorant.
Think about others for a change!
- Oh, so you're thinking? - I'm trying—
People change.
I want you to change, too.
- In what way? - I mean...
Think for yourself for a change.
I think you and I are fundamentally different.
We're the same.
I've known you since kindergarten.
We saw the ocean for the first time together.
We were together when we jerked off for the first time.
Do you have any other friends like that?
This is good.
Right?
Excuse me.
Please turn the music off. You're causing a nuisance.
- To whom, may I ask? - Stop, Yuta.
Sorry, we'll stop it.
What is this?
Audio equipment.
Are you high schoolers?
Can I see your belongings?
Why?
Your special permanent residence card isn't registered.
Do you have the card?
I have one, but it's not required to carry it around.
Please comply with us.
- I'm not legally required to carry it! - He doesn't have it.
- We need back up. - Calm down.
I'm not legally required to carry it.
Please cooperate with us.
- Where is the card? - It's at home.
Can you please take us there?
You can leave now.
- I was the one playing music. - It's fine, Yuta.
I just have to show them the card at home.
Sorry I can't help.
SUPER EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT HIGHRISE
Good morning.
Stand.
Attention. Bow.
Sit.
Today, we have a special guest.
Be polite and give him a warm welcome.
Please, come in.
Self Defense Force?
He's kind of hot.
What the hell?
We will be listening to a special lecture from the Self Defense Force.
You don't need to be here if you're not a naturalized citizen.
Please head to room 305.
I'll be calling out your number.
Number 3, 4, 6, 8...
10, 12, 13, 15...
19, 21, 23, 25.
- Why is it us that have to leave? - Yeah, why?
Because you need Japanese citizenship to apply.
I live in this country too so I think this is relevant to me.
It's a rule for the safety of this country.
Leave or you'll have points deducted.
Is there a problem if we hear what's said?
Don't give me that attitude.
You're Japanese. Sit back down.
This class is full of troublemakers.
The rest of you hurry up and leave.
I'm not leaving because you told us to.
Sure, whatever floats your boat.
What happened?
Look.
UNAUTHORIZED LEAVE: MINUS THREE POINTS
Remember, we got points off just for hugging?
Yeah, we did.
It's crazy that we're being surveilled in the first place.
This is not a prison. Why are they treating us like criminals?
What the hell?
Ok.
- Let's demand for its removal. - Definitely.
- I think that's too far. - Why?
Some of these pranks are pretty bad.
Yeah. It's easy to criticize.
- We should be objective. - Ok.
Have these cameras brought any good?
No.
It's the same everywhere else.
That's no reason to accept it.
Right, Kou?
Let's take this to the principal.
Let's go.
Let's all go together.
Just to get points off again?
I don't want to get in trouble.
Let's go together.
We're going to go.
Come on, let's go to the principal's.
I didn't really expect much
but it's still disappointing to see them go.
- Fumi, let's go. - Yeah.
You're coming, right?
Honestly... I have nothing but good things to say about PANOPTY.
That makes me happy.
I suppose the only negative thing
is that I have to see Shio-chan's ugly face so often.
What are you saying?
I know you love me.
I want to see your face every day.
Principal. Listen to us.
You guys again? Enough.
- The way you run the school is wrong. - Get out!
We won't leave until you listen to us.
- Excuse me. No photos, please. - We are sorry.
It seems like the students want to talk. Let's finish the interview for today.
I will show you out.
- Shio-chan, see them out. - Got it.
- This way. - Thank you very much.
Our motto is to listen to the students' voice.
Treat them well.
- Should I call the police? - No, I'll handle it for now.
- Ok. - Treat them well.
Apologies. Over here.
What do you want?
SIT-IN IN PROGRESS
Kou.
I say this as someone older.
You may think the rules here are strict
but society is worse.
You can't get away with this once you're in the real world.
It's wrong to follow a society that's wrong.
Suppose I ask the board of education to discuss your request.
Then what?
Even if they change the policy, it'll be from next year.
You will have all graduated.
You'll get nothing out of this.
Why do this?
There's no benefit.
Ming, any sign?
No.
He's here!
Hello.
Hello?
Yuta?
Surprise!
Don't do that!
Hurry up!
Too easy!
That was way too easy.
- “Everyone cheers.” - Ok.
Kou, Kou, cheers.
Cheers!
Kou, it's your turn.
- That one? - You got it.
- “Shout your crush's name from the balcony” - Alright, Mr. Kou, let's hear it!
- No, no, no. - Please!
Let's go!
No, no, no.
Who can it be?
- I won't do it. - Could it be that girl?
- Or maybe it's— - I said I'm not!
Ok, go ahead.
Here, I know you're hungry. Eat this.
Delicious.
Get off!
I'm still chewing!
I'm still eating!
Don't get it on my face!
That's pointy! Dangerous!
Ata-chan, I love you.
I love you, too.
I love you...too.
You have to say something new.
I couldn't think of anything.
I have an idea.
Let's make it super romantic before they get back.
Let's go.
- Can you get candles from the kitchen? - Ok.
Do you have your lighter?
Thanks.
Tomu, sorry.
I'm going back to school.
Nice! You should.
Sometimes I think...
Yeah?
If Yuta and I met today in college or something
do you think we'd be friends?
Here they are.
He hasn't changed since we were kids.
Maybe that's why everyone likes him.
I'm sorry, I'm going.
- Yeah. - Sorry.
Hang on.
Why don't you take these leftovers?
Really?
Of course.
I'm sure everyone's hungry.
Thanks.
What is it?
I don't know.
I'm scared.
Taira?
What's he doing here?
Good work.
Is anyone allergic to fish?
Look.
There's enough for everyone. Pass it around.
No thank you.
You have to eat.
It's on me. Don't worry about it.
We're not going to fall for this.
It's not some strategy.
It's good manners to eat what you're served.
Come on.
Eat it.
Go on.
Go ahead and eat.
Eat.
I said eat!
Eat it!
If you don't eat, I'll expel all of you!
Everyone!
I'm serious!
So wasteful.
You shouldn't waste food.
I'm done.
I don't want to be expelled.
I'm going home.
Hiroki!
Hey!
It's kimbap.
It looks so good.
Let's eat together.
Look at that.
- There's yakitori, too. - That looks good.
Thanks for the food.
So good!
I was so hungry.
Delicious.
Anyone want yakitori?
I feel alive.
“One day a teacher at school...”
“preached in front of his students...”
“If you don't get 100 points on the test...”
“you won't be a respectable person.”
“Hey, eat shit and die.”
“Eat shit and die.”
“The most important person in the world”
“is a computer.”
Thanks for the food.
The kimbap was delicious.
Why do you look so bitter then?
Well...
All we did was ask someone in power to do the right thing.
It's frustrating.
Like, this whole structure is—
Let's go get breakfast!
I think you can enjoy this moment.
If you don't have a little fun...
you won't make friends.
- Shut up! - Ouch!
Seems like everyone's here.
Let's start the graduation rehearsal.
When you hear your name please come up on the stage...
and bow.
Then stand in front of the principal... and bow.
Take the certificate with both hands... and bow.
And then face the flag and—
That's enough.
Thank you.
Hello everyone.
I'm sure you've all heard.
A couple of days ago a few students came into my office.
They brought some demands about how we run this school.
Broadly, they brought up one thing.
They want the school to respect the will and freedom of students.
That's what it boiled down to.
I can get behind the sincerity of their plea.
However, for that to happen
we must be able to guarantee safety.
Without safety, there's no education!
The other day...
someone threatened our safe environment for study.
We have let that happen.
This is extremely unfortunate.
But I am here to announce something.
If the majority of the student body wishes...
I am happy to reconsider the security system of our school.
Yes!
However...
with freedom comes responsibility.
We must think of the terrorist act the other day.
Whoever it was that threatened this school...
Whoever it was that jeopardized our safety...
Whoever it was that committed such acts...
please come forward.
On that condition
I will promise to consider the removal of the security system.
That's not what you promised!
We never heard of such a condition!
- You liar! - What the hell?
- Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? - I want my time back.
- I don't agree to this. - Hold on.
Hold on, you in the back.
What is it?
Excuse me.
I don't know who was responsible for the car, but...
Go on.
I don't think we have to remove the security system.
It's effective as a deterrant.
Sit down!
- It's invasive to our privacy— - You just have a guilty conscience.
Those without Japanese manners are bothering other students.
- What do you mean, “Japanese manners”? - We need this system!
I agree it's necessary.
Rules are important. Without rules, it's chaos.
Sometimes those rules might not benefit the individual
but rules can be more important than a single person—
Whoever thinks that will kill their neighbors
if they are told to during a war.
- Stop exaggerating. - Let us go home!
- It's not an exaggeration. - You are all idiots!
We have to think for ourselves.
May I?
Excuse me!
Please listen!
I did it by myself. It was supposed to be a joke.
I apologize.
Hey!
Are you serious?
We got it.
Kou!
Kou, we got it!
- What happened? - The scholarship!
We got it!
Kou!
We got the scholarship!
As the principal was saying
he doesn't want to go to court.
He won't be pressing charges.
I'm responsible for the students, so I can't let him return to school.
But let's figure out the rest privately.
Of course.
That's that.
Truly...
my sincerest apologies.
Well then.
Thank you very much.
Ouch.
I'm sorry!
What.
Are you 18 already?
Next week.
You're an adult then.
You crying?
- Why are you crying? - I'm not crying.
- You ok? - I'm ok.
You get dumped?
If you're going to play make it cheery.
Like what?
Like...
like this.
Hurry up!
I'll come back often, on New Years and the summer.
You all should visit me, too.
Be good to each other, ok?
Your certificate.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Ataro Tominaga!
Yes!
Ata-chan!
Your certificate.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
I'm always this height.
That's how I usually stand.
Your voice is big though.
Watch this.
Isn't that awesome?
Wait, hold on.
Show me.
Where did you buy this? It's awesome.
I made it.
- You did? - You?
Dude.
Just make these! Why are you looking for a job?
You think?
- You can be a designer. - I agree, you could make money.
Maybe I should.
Hold on a second.
I told you to do that the other day but you just ignored me.
- Did I? - You did!
- Sorry. - Why are you always ignoring me?
I'm sorry!
Do you all want to come over for dinner?
My parents are actually taking us to a fancy dinner.
I'm jealous.
- Ata-chan? - Actually, I'm going too.
- What! - No way! Together?
I'm super nervous.
You know how scary Ming's dad is?
It'll be okay! He has calmed down, you'll be fine.
You look so nervous.
Alright.
Next time, then.
Bye.
- Congratulations. - Bye.
- See you. - Congrats!
Bye!
Want to come over?
I'm about to see an apartment.
I got kicked out.
Seriously?
I'll be paying back my mom for a while.
Damn.
- Next time, then. - Yeah.
I owe you too.
If you start counting it'll take a lifetime to repay!
True.
Ok.
Another time, then.
See you.
Bye.
See ya.
