Yes

You'll also be the prompter

It'll be my privilege

That's the list, please do your best

You're back

It's for you

What is this?

You had a successful audition?

To celebrate your becoming a star

Stop fussing

I didn't pass the audition

why did you think I did?

You know nothing about play acting

Don't presume, alright?

You are mocking me

saying your interest is acting

The acting world is not as easy as

you think

I play the role of a maid and simply say

sorry to disturb you

after the curtains go down

so this is all the costume I need

You understand?

You don't understand

I have been thinking if I should

get roses

but I was right not to get them

Sorry

Let's go for a drink

Right, let's get drunk

Be alert

Before entering the troupe

I have not spoken to anyone

at the top of my voice

it's the same at roll call when

I was a kid

I always said 'present' in a soft voice

Like this

I see

I am not cutout for acting

But you want to be an actor?

I hate what you say

I am a star

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

I must excuse myself

- I must wash up

- Okay

Sorry, wait

- Please draw the curtains for me

- Okay

Right

Let me do it

I said I'll do it, go and take a seat

What are you laughing at?

What's so funny?

You two are real close

Please, even there's a limit to joking

Sorry

Am I really that ugly?

At least you're not a great beauty

I don't need you to tell me

I also have a mirror at home

But you looks cute

that's why I like you

Then I am the loveable type

You look like any ordinary girl

you are a bit out of your depth

if you want to be a star

You mean you don't recommend that

I be a star

I didn't say that

I am no beauty and not the loveable type

so what am I?!

You belong to those

who have great acting skills

You dare say that to someone

who didn't pass an audition

Akio

Help me

I tell you

I also have a friend who's an actor

The guy's best friend

also happens to be his strongest rival

he suffered an accident riding

on his motorbike

and was taken to the hospital

Are you listening at all?

Yes

They were with a theatre troupe

when the accident happened

Just at a time when they were

at the height of their careers

Many TV and movie makers wanted them

My friend was really in the limelight

and had it made

However on the other hand

the other one in the hospital

with flowers all around him

was down in doldrums

Every time when my friend visited him

he would ask, 'do you have a bag? '

Take some home if you do'

He would fill the bag with food

from visitors

and also reminded his friend to

bring a larger bag next time

I told you this would be boring

Continue

So he brought a bigger bag

At that time his friend's parents

and colleagues came

and his friend had a tube in his nose

It appeared he was in pain

After a few hours he died

My friend rushed out of the hospital

and shouted 'damn'

How could it be like this?

It's not fair

Then he returned to the room

and found his friend's bed was gone

He cried

but something inside him

scared him

and he was shocked

He realised the way he held his fist

was not aesthetic

though the way he cried,

moved his audience

The way he felt about his friend's death

could be better used to improve

the way he acted

Never mind that guy -

he just wanted to have a good cry

But his other self

was observing him and mocking him;

For, while everyone was grieving

for his friend

I think my friend was acting

and his grief did not come

from his heart

he was a bit of a hypocrite

and not sincere at all

I empathies with that

and since then my other self

frequently appeared

whenever I was bathing or dining

even when I was having sex

and certainly when I was acting

That chap didn't know

how to forget everything

and act according to his instincts

Do you know what happened to him

in the end?

He didn't want to be an actor anymore

We're here

Here?

You said it's okay as long as

we reach our home

You mentioned a foreign name last time

The Rose building

The Rose building

I thought it was a tall building

Well, I didn't choose the name

Please come in

What would you like to drink?

Let me sleep

It's painful

Would you like to wear my shirt

as pajama?

It's so convenient

Is it really good?

Are you drunk?

When you become sober, you'll regret it

Is it because you failed your audition

that you want to ruin yourself?

You don't care who is this guy, right?

The when you wake up in the morning

you'll ask, where is this place,

who are you etc.

I don't think it'll be like that

Jerk

Is it really okay?

Can I really?

When you finish rehearsing

could you come back here please?

Why?

To have a meal together

Why?

Why?

Because I like you

Also...

We had sex?

In fact, this is not my first time

You should know that

I already had someone I like

Then... why are you with me?

I just wanted to sleep with you

I'm going

Thanks for having me for the night

When would we see other again?

I don't know

Take the umbrella, it's raining

No need, I won't have the chance

to return it

Just throw it away

if you don't need it anymore

Isn't any good getting soaked

in the rain, take it

We'll rehearse our lines now

Ready

Right

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning everyone...

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Under the bedroom on the second floor

there's a wider staircase

There's a fire place upstairs

On the sofa and chairs

Michihiko, Shigeru, Masaki, Takuo

and Mine as well

were enjoying tea and cake

Downstairs

Toshie is standing there with two maids

It's been a tough year

See you in Tokyo after the new year

Right, see you

Goodbye

Ichijou Haruo descended the stairs

Teacher, sit here

How's Mako's thesis?

It's about the English author

Virginia Woolf

The thesis on Mrs. Dalloway

is not bad

Where is Mako?

Grandpa asked to see her in his room

to discuss something

I'll call her now

Toshie goes up the stairs

Mako, the tea is ready

Mako rushed out from Yohei's room

holding a blood stained knife

in her right hand

while her left wrist was dripping blood

What happened to you, Mako?

I killed... I killed my grandpa

I killed grandpa

Right

You've been busy

up to now

I am glad you agree to do this

Could you spare the time?
