Young Yakuza Page #3

---

Well, I don't watch

many yakuza films.

I do.

What do you think?

It's true, you're right.

The action all happens outside...

Does it work?

Naoki, speak to check.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Yes.

- So it's OK?

- Yes.

Thank you.

It's OK.

You all have one?

Yes, all the security guys.

- You too, one day, you'll have one.

- Really?

- I'm off.

- Bye.

When we shot the scene

at the Shinto sanctuary,

people thought I was an actor.

They asked for autographs.

I signed my name.

You know, Mum, it would be good

if we saw your face

at the end of the film.

Young people who join our milieu

are often in need of love.

More than a newfather,

what they look for

in people like me...

with whom they have no

family ties,

is what they didn't get from

their natural parents.

For them, we are

like substitution parents.

And in exchange for our affection,

the love we provide,

a feeling of devotion is created

that we call "giri".

Hello, boss.

The Godfather died on May 29th.

As a personal gesture,

I visit his grave,

on the 29th of each month.

This is a souvenir of the Godfather.

It belonged to him.

The Godfather was born...

in the year of the dragon.

He had a dragon motif

embroidered

on this sweat suit.

I was given it after his death.

It goes together.

The Godfather was very elegant.

He was better built than me,

but seeing as I have the honour

of wearing this...

I've already worn this sports gear,

but not this shirt.

These souvenirs are dear to me,

but this one...

When I became the "direct son"

of the godfather, he gave me this cup.

It means a lot to me.

Of course, I am not alone.

All of the Godfather's "direct sons"

and all the clan leaders

probably keep their cups carefully.

I imagine that the Godfather

is alive in all our hearts.

I'm sure of it.

In our milieu, it should be so.

When I became a yakuza,

I decided to leave my family,

to cut all ties.

I gave everything to

the organisation.

The fact of receiving souvenirs...

and keeping them carefully

reminds me of my real father

whom I had forgotten.

Even though I own nothing of his.

Thank you.

Thank each other.

It's full downstairs.

Will we tell them to come up?

Go open the door

so that people can come up.

It's busy.

It's full here.

We should get people to go up.

Go to the foot of the stairs,

open the door and let people up.

Public baths

Hello.

Hello. It's been a while.

Thank you for having the boys.

You're welcome.

I should thank you

for the experience.

They are very happy.

Good.

- Do you have some time?

- Yes.

- Would you like some tea?

- Thank you.

Things are bad

for public pools at the moment.

I even have time

to have tea with you.

The clients arrive a little later.

And don't your boys

go to the public pools?

You know, today,

certain pools ban yakuzas.

Well, not all.

In any case,

there is no problem here.

Come back any time.

You are welcome.

The other day my son told me

he was doing the music for this film.

I really don't understand

young people's music today.

They call it hip-hop

or something.

What is that music?

I understand.

The boss is leaving.

You realise a person counts

The day you lose them

I was working at fifteen

I took hits and I knew

He showed me the way

When times were bad

He didn't speak, stayed calm

Never easy answers

You had to wait

For a simple allusion

That was the man's pride

"One day, you'll understand"

He seemed to say

His huge shadow

His strangely clear eyes

Now I'm 22

I need to step up

My name is N.O.F.E.A.R

And I want to say

How much I appreciate...

It's nice today.

We're lucky.

It always rains

for Sanja festival.

You know why?

According to the deputy director,

rain symbolises divine water.

The goddess Kannon-sama?

She's always crying then?

Maybe.

I don't know.

You think she does this

out of love for us?

Perhaps...

I don't get it, I'm catholic.

It's about Naoki.

His uncle is not well,

I let him go an hour ago.

He'll keep in touch.

I gave him the day off.

Please excuse him.

It's a pity,

as he worked so hard,

I wanted to bring him

to the Sanja festival.

Well, never mind.

I understand.

Stay at the office in case.

Yes, boss.

Hey! Which unit are you from?

The 3rd or the 4th?

They are 3rd grade students!

Right, left!

The local police can't handle it.

They've asked for back-up.

Really?

There are buses of riot police.

In any case, they're not funny.

If anything happens on the altar,

they make people get down.

They're pretty rough.

They arrest people

and beat them.

You will now head

in the direction of...

the 3rd district of Asakusa.

Good luck and be careful

that everything goes well.

Yo mother f***in' Tokyo

To the end of the world

To the end of life

Let's go...

He's not here.

We're looking for Naoki

since yesterday

in the shopping neighbourhood.

We went to the pachinko,

we looked everywhere,

but can't find him.

And the office?

He didn't come back to the office?

No?

I see.

Let us know

if you hear anything.

- He didn't come back?

- No.

Should we keep looking?

Why don't we check the bars?

I haven't seen Naoki

for a while.

Is there a problem?

I'm sorry.

We can't reach him since Sanja day.

He was a good worker.

What happened?

I don't know.

I see.

I don't understand.

He left without saying a word.

I don't get it.

He just left,

not a word.

I don't know...

When a young man takes off,

as we say in the milieu,

in other words, he disappears...

Of course,

if I think about it seriously,

I think there's no point

in running after him.

On the one hand,

I consider it to be a betrayal.

At the same time, I feel like

maybe I didn't do

what I should to keep him.

I do some soul searching

but in the end,

he chose to leave

while the others hang on

and do their best.

Rules are rules

and I must not be sentimental.

So, you could think

that I'm insensitive,

but I believe this coldness

is necessary.

When a young guy leaves,

I have to think of the clan first.

A yakuza clan

is an organisation like any other.

I am in charge

of this organisation.

Even if I don't do everything

from A to Z,

I have to think of everyone.

It's like in politics.

As the boss,

I have to create

this pyramid hierarchy.

If I act too quickly

or if I am wrong

about certain people,

I have to make it right.

As for Naoki,

he was not an official member

of Kumagai-gumi.

His mother sent him

as she didn't know

what to do with him.

That's how he ended up here.

He was never a clan member.

His mother was tearing her hair out,

and she asked me to step in.

I met his mother recently

to apologise.

I didn't manage to

educate him as I should,

when he was my responsibility.

Will he come back or not?

Truly, in this case,

I don't know.

He is part of this new generation.

They are another species.

Young people today have no reason

to be attracted to our milieu.

Here, they have no freedom.

Financially, it's not worth it
