When they're in love

That's what they say

Is it really true?

I hope it is, I do!

You can be shy

You can be awkward

But when you're in love,

A sparkle lights your eyes!

Eyes meet, the fire ignites

Love is taking off!

A look here, a look there

Like a beam flashing!

Ma-me-mi-mu-me-mo

Ma-me-mi-mu, magical beam!

Ma-me-mi-mu, magical beam!

Eyes meet, the fire ignites

Love is taking off!

A look here, a look there

Like a beam flashing!

That guy who ran by earlier,

was that Nukui?

He's the oldest groupie, right?

Since when?

About four years.

Like the kid in red.

They're not really kids.

They're both adults.

- In any case, they're loyal.

- Yes.

But be careful.

They can be just as dangerous.

The Tokyo Stock Market

experienced continuous drops.

The Garden Hotel's

liabilities prove to be...

Hey! Keep your eyes on the traffic!

Don't put that crap on your uniform!

Keep your eyes open, you jerk!

You can be shy

You can be awkward

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I have this extra lunch,

would you please eat it?

Thank you.

It's a pleasure, as always.

Thank you. Good luck!

Thanks. For you...

- Good luck, with all my heart!

- Thank you.

Two young girls drowned...

Pop star Haruna Yamaguchi

was involved in a car accident.

I just arrived.

- Have you seen Haruna?

- Not yet.

- Are visitors allowed?

- Pardon?

- Are visitors allowed?

- I don't know.

Listen up!

I'll tell you everything I know.

At about 11:
20 last night,

she was returning

to Tokyo from Odaiba.

To avoid hitting another car,

her car crashed into a power post.

That's all I know.

- Was she driving?

- I don't know.

This is a hospital!

There are other patients!

Please leave now.

I have no idea. How many times

do I have to say it?

That's all for today!

Please leave!

I'll contact you later

when I know more.

No Signs of a Return

Forced into Early Retirement?

My daughter isn't home.

She withdrew from the world.

She won't see anyone.

Could I write her a note?

Just a moment.

- I'll take it.

- Thank you.

Could you write my name?

To Mr. Aoki, is that it?

Thank you for your support.

Wait here.

I'll get her.

Haruna!

One of your fans has come

to see you from Tokyo.

I told you I don't want to see them.

I don't want fans

to see my face like this.

But this man is blind.

Will you see him?

Here she is,

standing in front of you.

You're Mr. Nukui, right?

What happened to your eyes?

I thought it would be better

not being able to see.

Excuse me.

I think my boyfriend

will be here soon.

When he arrives, would

you please free his seat?

Sorry.

It smells so nice.

The roses are in full bloom.

That's why.

Your boyfriend...

Hasn't he come yet?

He's not coming.

No?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Not now, since...

You come here in his place.

I have been wondering if maybe

I should stop waiting for him.

Would you join me for lunch?

Thank you.

Girls become so pretty

When they're in love

That's what they say

Is it really true?

I hope it is, I do!

You can be shy

You can be awkward

But when you're in love...

Today, I made roasted cod roe.

Do you like it?

Of course. It's my favorite.

I'm so glad!

Come to think of it...

It was his favorite, too.

Boss!

Go on, call again!

Boss!

Shout louder, idiot!

Again!

No use. He isn't home. Let's go.

What are you doing?

You can pose better than that!

Pretend you're models!

Not like that! What's that?

Shut up

and take the photos already!

You're getting married.

I need to let everyone know.

No way! You can't tell anyone!

Your attention, please!

I have big news.

Matsumoto and Sawako

have decided to get married.

Getting married!

Really?

Congratulations!

You're jealous!

Not at all.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

You should have bought her a ring!

I couldn't. I'm broke.

Disappointed?

Thank you.

What are you two doing there?

You could start a fire!

Get out of here!

You heard me, move it!

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
