NORIKO'S DINNER TABLE |
00:00:40 |
December 2001 |
00:00:53 |
I tore off a thread that was |
00:01:01 |
I had run away from home. |
00:01:07 |
I arrived at Tokyo Station. |
00:01:25 |
Female, age 17. |
00:01:36 |
Just a kid. That was me. |
00:01:53 |
I carried my big bag pretending |
00:02:05 |
Walked to Ginza. |
00:02:11 |
It was right before Christmas. |
00:02:17 |
Bright with neon lights. |
00:02:29 |
Everyone was better dressed than me, |
00:02:46 |
NORIKO |
00:02:49 |
I had a father, a mother, |
00:03:11 |
I'm done. |
00:03:16 |
Eat, Noriko. |
00:03:19 |
When she has a problem, |
00:03:23 |
I was 17. |
00:03:26 |
Always fighting with |
00:03:31 |
He wanted me to go to a local university, |
00:03:35 |
I knew it would be boring. |
00:03:38 |
I wouldn't find a boyfriend |
00:03:46 |
He peeled a tangerine |
00:03:54 |
Boys in Tokyo are worthless...and... |
00:04:00 |
He hesitated to say. |
00:04:04 |
But I knew. My cousins. |
00:04:07 |
Sato and Kei got pregnant |
00:04:12 |
Taeko? Hello. |
00:04:16 |
Sato and Kei just came by. |
00:04:22 |
Dad thought, |
00:04:28 |
Boys are trouble... |
00:04:32 |
I watched the neatly |
00:04:34 |
...slowly return |
00:04:40 |
Tangerine, tangerine... |
00:04:43 |
Orange-colored tangerine. |
00:04:47 |
I had a friend named Tangerine |
00:04:53 |
I thought people called her that |
00:05:01 |
I had thought that... |
00:05:05 |
One day, when I was with Yuka, |
00:05:11 |
Norippe? |
00:05:15 |
It's me. Tangerine. |
00:05:19 |
I didn't recognize her at first. |
00:05:26 |
What's up, Norippe? |
00:05:27 |
No one called me that anymore. |
00:05:33 |
Do you know which school |
00:05:35 |
Her uniform? |
00:05:37 |
You have no idea, right? |
00:05:43 |
It wasn't her school uniform. |
00:05:47 |
She said that after junior high... |
00:05:49 |
...she began working at an "image club" |
00:05:53 |
I'm handing out packets |
00:05:55 |
"All-Girl Fantasy School" |
00:05:56 |
I've heard of this place. |
00:06:02 |
That's the school I go to now. |
00:06:06 |
That was the day I found out why she was |
00:06:10 |
Okay, class. Who do you admire? |
00:06:14 |
Mom and Dad. |
00:06:16 |
In 2nd grade, the teacher asked, |
00:06:23 |
Tangerine. |
00:06:25 |
That's how I got my nickname. |
00:06:30 |
No. |
00:06:31 |
I don't know why I said that. |
00:06:37 |
She laughed loudly. |
00:06:41 |
Gotta go to work. |
00:06:44 |
Nice seeing you. |
00:06:46 |
Bye. |
00:06:50 |
I still love tangerines. |
00:06:55 |
She waved goodbye and left. |
00:07:01 |
On our way home, |
00:07:07 |
I was shocked that |
00:07:13 |
I admire Tangerine. |
00:07:18 |
So am I. |
00:07:22 |
You don't understand. |
00:07:25 |
What? |
00:07:27 |
Life as a woman. |
00:07:34 |
All I did was skip class and read |
00:07:42 |
Tangerine was so inspiring to me. |
00:07:47 |
Idiot. |
00:07:48 |
Yuka called me an idiot. |
00:07:51 |
She's a whore. |
00:07:53 |
You don't even like being a woman. |
00:08:00 |
All I'm saying is, |
00:08:05 |
Are you saying that 'cause Dad is |
00:08:14 |
Gotta go. Bye. |
00:08:19 |
Adults... |
00:08:23 |
My father was an adult... |
00:08:31 |
He was a reporter for a local |
00:08:38 |
It didn't matter if there was a war |
00:08:43 |
Come here! |
00:08:45 |
Yeah, I'm coming. |
00:08:47 |
- It was a deer? |
00:08:49 |
they only reported local news... |
00:08:52 |
Ah, but today is a wonderful day. |
00:08:55 |
"Deer Rampage Continues" |
00:09:00 |
Trivial, local news. |
00:09:03 |
"Shoppers Galore" |
00:09:12 |
Great. Look this way. Okay, cheese. |
00:09:16 |
"Cactus Park Breaks |
00:09:18 |
Just peaceful stuff. |
00:09:19 |
I love this town... and |
00:09:22 |
I had no interest in his work. |
00:09:25 |
I love this town... and |
00:09:27 |
But I ended up writing |
00:09:34 |
Published once a month. |
00:09:45 |
I was editor-in-chief. |
00:09:50 |
Let's ask for more computer time. |
00:09:53 |
Pleased to meet you. |
00:09:58 |
I thought Dad's paper was |
00:10:04 |
So, by writing pieces |
00:10:08 |
I felt I was rebelling |
00:10:14 |
For example, advocating unlimited |
00:10:27 |
I think we should be able to |
00:10:39 |
'Cause if we could, |
00:10:45 |
...information. |
00:10:48 |
I think we deserve that. |
00:10:53 |
Yeah, but... |
00:10:54 |
The rules must be changed. |
00:11:00 |
We only had one PC at home. |
00:11:06 |
I'm still using it. |
00:11:13 |
Cactus Park was fun, huh? |
00:11:18 |
Noriko angry because she can't use |
00:11:24 |
One more picture. |
00:11:28 |
Let's take a picture together here. |
00:11:31 |
Excuse me, would you mind? |
00:11:34 |
Thank you. |
00:11:39 |
Let's go over there. |
00:11:43 |
I was a teenage girl stuck in the boondocks. |
00:11:48 |
I wanted to talk to girls |
00:11:53 |
so I wanted to go |
00:11:57 |
Gotta get out of here. |
00:12:01 |
Go somewhere different. |
00:12:05 |
What? |
00:12:08 |
I'm definitely going. |
00:12:15 |
Am I crazy? |
00:12:16 |
Whatever. |
00:12:18 |
I wanted to go |
00:12:23 |
but I didn't know where. |
00:12:27 |
Stubborn, ditsy, rebellious, reckless. |
00:12:36 |
After a while, the teacher decided |
00:12:42 |
What's the verdict? |
00:12:45 |
Good news, we can grant your request. |
00:12:47 |
Really? |
00:12:57 |
I had a favorite website. |
00:13:01 |
A strange name... |
00:13:05 |
There, 16- and 17-year-old girls talked |
00:13:11 |
I quickly became a regular member. |
00:13:18 |
The name of French perfume. |
00:13:20 |
When I became Mitsuko, |
00:13:26 |
And I made some friends. |
00:13:30 |
Hello, Cripple #5. |
00:13:35 |
"To Mitsuko: Hello. " |
00:13:40 |
Hello, Long Neck. |
00:13:48 |
Hello, Midnight. |
00:13:54 |
Hello, Broken Dam. |
00:13:59 |
"To Mitsuko: Hello. " |
00:14:07 |
And Ueno Station 54... |
00:14:11 |
Hello, Ueno Station 54. |
00:14:17 |
"To Mitsuko: Hello. " |
00:14:20 |
Whenever Ueno Station 54 showed up, |
00:14:27 |
It was like we were all standing on a |
00:14:34 |
And the conversation would begin. |
00:14:41 |
I'm walking... |
00:14:48 |
I'm on top of it. |
00:14:51 |
I was happy and surprised that |
00:15:00 |
They were girls in Tokyo. |
00:15:01 |
They were girls in Tokyo. |
00:15:09 |
(Everything OK?) |
00:15:15 |
But you haven't even met |
00:15:20 |
As I was about to tell him |
00:15:26 |
...to meet my friends... |
00:15:33 |
The power went out. |
00:15:36 |
Our house was very old. |
00:15:45 |
No big deal. |
00:15:50 |
Looks like the breaker has switched off. |
00:15:51 |
Yuka came out of her room. |
00:15:55 |
Turn the power back on, Dad. |
00:16:11 |
Taeko, is everything all right? |
00:16:14 |
The breaker isn't fixing it. |
00:16:16 |
Dec. 10, 2001. |
00:16:22 |
A cold winter night. |
00:16:30 |
In the dark, I packed my bags. |
00:16:33 |
Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo... |
00:16:36 |
I had no idea what was in Tokyo, |
00:16:43 |
I had to find out. |
00:16:47 |
The important things in my room... |
00:16:54 |
I looked for all the things |
00:16:56 |
What did I really need? |
00:16:59 |
What is it? |
00:17:01 |
I was born to breathe. |
00:17:06 |
I inhaled oxygen and exhaled |
00:17:14 |
I wanted to go somewhere different, |
00:17:21 |
Female, 17, ditsy, stubborn, rebellious. |
00:17:35 |
I just realized that I was a virgin. |
00:17:40 |
Everything made me |
00:17:41 |
Just everything. But I |
00:17:44 |
I was worried about everything and nothing. |
00:17:48 |
Men, life, love, growing up... |
00:17:55 |
Life was weird. |
00:17:57 |
I wanted to tackle something. |
00:18:06 |
I wanted to live, challenge, wish, |
00:18:14 |
...see, stare, understand, hear, |
00:18:24 |
...and be there. |
00:18:26 |
I wanted to stand on with my own heart. |
00:18:35 |
I had to talk to Ueno Station 54. |
00:18:41 |
I knew she'd be there. |
00:18:52 |
www. haikyo. com |
00:19:02 |
To the message board. |
00:19:10 |
"Ueno Station 54? |
00:19:16 |
"I finally ran away from home |
00:19:21 |
"I'm at an internet cafe now. |
00:19:29 |
"Can we meet in person tomorrow? |
00:19:36 |
"Maybe I'll be free forever. " |
00:19:42 |
"I've been pretending to be busy until now. |
00:19:51 |
"Suddenly without restraint, |
00:19:58 |
"Like I'm walking around naked. |
00:20:06 |
"Today, I realized I'm still a virgin. " |
00:20:11 |
"Maybe that's because |
00:20:30 |
I sound like any other girl. |
00:20:38 |
Did I disappoint her? |
00:20:43 |
We met online this past summer. |
00:20:50 |
Ueno Station 54 had been a moderator |
00:20:58 |
- "To Mitsuko: How are you?" |
00:21:04 |
She replied to all the messages |
00:21:10 |
Hello, I'm Mitsuko. |
00:21:16 |
"Be strong, Mitsuko. " |
00:21:20 |
"You can do it, Mitsuko!" |
00:21:22 |
I became Mitsuko and tried so hard |
00:21:30 |
I wondered. Could Noriko meet |
00:21:39 |
I realized that I wasn't Mitsuko. |
00:21:46 |
I was afraid that Ueno Station 54 |
00:21:53 |
I received her reply. |
00:22:04 |
She wrote |
00:22:12 |
I went to Ueno right away. |
00:22:24 |
SHIMABARA |
00:22:49 |
MITSUKO |
00:23:00 |
I set my alarm for 9 AM. |
00:23:08 |
I needed 2 hours to get ready. |
00:23:14 |
Be ready emotionally, breakfast, |
00:23:24 |
I faded into darkness. |
00:23:29 |
I was ripe for growth. |
00:23:42 |
I didn't dream. But when I got up, |
00:23:49 |
Being active, I was happy. |
00:24:00 |
I was Mitsuko. |
00:24:10 |
Once again, I tore off a thread |
00:24:17 |
I had left home... |
00:24:37 |
I didn't know what |
00:24:51 |
Where is #54? |
00:24:53 |
I don't know. |
00:24:56 |
What's #54? |
00:24:58 |
No idea. Sorry. |
00:25:01 |
Almost 11 AM. |
00:25:06 |
I should have left my luggage |
00:25:26 |
105. |
00:25:31 |
133. |
00:25:34 |
9O. |
00:25:37 |
84, 79, 74... |
00:25:42 |
It's close. |
00:25:52 |
54. |
00:26:04 |
Ueno Station 54? |
00:26:09 |
Mitsuko? |
00:26:14 |
6 months later, |
00:26:19 |
That happened. |
00:26:37 |
54 high school girls threw |
00:26:46 |
They hide their inner selves. |
00:26:50 |
"7:29 PM, Track 8" |
00:26:51 |
According to the police press |
00:26:55 |
Here is an eyewitness testimony. |
00:27:07 |
What a tragic occurrence. |
00:27:09 |
According to the police press conference:... |
00:27:13 |
The 54 girls were not all from the same |
00:27:21 |
I t was horrible. |
00:27:23 |
"54 Dead at Shinjuku" |
00:27:24 |
I t was horrible. The platform |
00:27:37 |
I wanted to be silly. |
00:27:45 |
Like all the girls my age, |
00:27:54 |
I hated crying. |
00:28:00 |
YUKA |
00:28:04 |
Yuka, stop. |
00:28:07 |
Thought I'd jump? |
00:28:10 |
Just kidding. |
00:28:11 |
Ever considered suicide? |
00:28:13 |
No. |
00:28:14 |
Maybe my sister killed herself. |
00:28:18 |
Being silly. |
00:28:19 |
You know the recent |
00:28:23 |
At Shinjuku? |
00:28:25 |
I hear most victims |
00:28:30 |
They're still trying to |
00:28:34 |
54 total. |
00:28:36 |
Hand in hand...One, two, three! |
00:28:37 |
Hand in hand...One, two, three! |
00:28:41 |
You sound amused. |
00:28:45 |
But I couldn't help it. |
00:28:47 |
They jumped so happily, right? |
00:28:51 |
No, she just ran away. |
00:28:56 |
You think so? |
00:28:58 |
Yeah. |
00:29:02 |
Maybe. |
00:29:03 |
What, you want her dead? |
00:29:06 |
I understand, Sis. |
00:29:11 |
I know you're alive somewhere. |
00:29:14 |
You know how they managed |
00:29:17 |
54 of them were from different |
00:29:26 |
I know. |
00:29:28 |
How? |
00:29:32 |
It's a secret. |
00:29:34 |
A secret? |
00:29:36 |
And I know what it is. |
00:29:39 |
Hey, common. Tell me, Yuka. |
00:29:43 |
Wait, Yuka. Tell me! |
00:29:53 |
Stop! Check this out. |
00:29:57 |
What? |
00:29:57 |
The red dots are women. |
00:30:02 |
Stop. |
00:30:04 |
Fine. |
00:30:05 |
What's this? |
00:30:08 |
The night before the mass suicide, |
00:30:18 |
It's a signal. |
00:30:20 |
A signal? For suicide? |
00:30:23 |
Yeah. |
00:30:26 |
Or maybe a threat. |
00:30:27 |
What's this? |
00:30:31 |
Am I connected to myself, Sis? |
00:30:32 |
"Are you connected to yourself?" |
00:30:37 |
Ueno Station 54? |
00:30:40 |
Mitsuko? |
00:30:48 |
Hi, I'm Kumiko. |
00:30:53 |
Nice to meet you. |
00:30:55 |
You too. |
00:30:57 |
This is my dad. |
00:31:00 |
Hi, I'm Kumiko's father. |
00:31:02 |
My mom. |
00:31:04 |
I'm her mother. |
00:31:07 |
I'm her brother. |
00:31:10 |
Let's go, Mitsuko. |
00:31:18 |
Dec. 2001. I wrote this on Haikyo. com. |
00:31:22 |
Dec. 2001. I wrote this on Haikyo. com. |
00:31:27 |
"That day, I was suffering from PMS, |
00:31:46 |
"I thought about my sister Yuka. |
00:31:58 |
"We got in their van and drove to |
00:32:08 |
Grandma! |
00:32:10 |
"Her grandma came out and |
00:32:15 |
"The grandma and Kumiko's parents |
00:32:24 |
"When Kumiko said, 'Hi, Grandma,' |
00:32:34 |
I wondered what Yuka would think |
00:32:39 |
I kind of thought she had been |
00:32:44 |
This girl "Yoko" sounded like Yuka. |
00:32:52 |
See ya. |
00:32:53 |
Wait. Hey, wait up! |
00:32:57 |
I wondered what she'd think |
00:33:39 |
"Yuka, I'm good friends with |
00:33:48 |
"Surprised? We're both here now, |
00:33:57 |
"Understand, Yuka?" |
00:34:01 |
"By the way, |
00:34:06 |
"I wrote about Ueno Station 54 before. |
00:34:14 |
"When she decided to call herself |
00:34:19 |
"that's when it all began. " |
00:34:24 |
I come here every night at 8 |
00:34:36 |
Dad gave me this music box |
00:34:43 |
"None of the stuff was actually hers. " |
00:34:47 |
This pink dress is what my mom wore |
00:34:52 |
Cute. |
00:34:53 |
Yeah? |
00:34:54 |
This is the harmonica I used during |
00:34:58 |
"She just collected a bunch of stuff |
00:35:07 |
"And made up her own stories. " |
00:35:11 |
These rain boots were the first things |
00:35:21 |
But it didn't rain much, |
00:35:26 |
"She had no genuine memories. |
00:35:35 |
You wanna put a memory in here? |
00:35:41 |
Me? |
00:35:50 |
This. |
00:35:53 |
"Ever since I met Kumiko, |
00:36:01 |
"...she and I are similar." |
00:36:03 |
"Maybe it means I'm fabricating |
00:36:09 |
"I'm no longer Noriko. |
00:36:18 |
What's this? |
00:36:21 |
Mitsuko's umbilical cord. |
00:36:30 |
"I finally became the person |
00:36:38 |
Okay, Mitsuko. |
00:36:55 |
"Everything is our made-up story. |
00:37:03 |
"No End to Rash of Suicides" |
00:37:07 |
Let's go. |
00:37:08 |
Right. |
00:37:09 |
The pomelos are doing well this year. |
00:37:12 |
- What about damage from the birds? |
00:37:14 |
Tetsu, take a picture. please. |
00:37:17 |
Okay. |
00:38:06 |
I decided to become Yoko, |
00:38:09 |
I decided to become Yoko, |
00:38:14 |
A clue for Dad. |
00:38:29 |
Free tissues. |
00:38:51 |
I kept hearing my sister's voice, |
00:39:00 |
My sister's voice... |
00:39:12 |
Taeko. Taeko... |
00:39:17 |
Dad was shocked that |
00:39:29 |
Where are you? |
00:39:31 |
It was a month after I ran away... |
00:39:36 |
...that Dad finally started |
00:39:45 |
"Daddy" |
00:39:53 |
He quit his job right after I left. |
00:39:57 |
Listen... |
00:40:02 |
I quit. |
00:40:04 |
For a few weeks, he had searched |
00:40:12 |
But he lacked |
00:40:18 |
Finally, he started looking for |
00:40:26 |
I stopped writing right there. |
00:40:32 |
I was just thinking |
00:40:38 |
what would my father, |
00:40:42 |
What would he do? |
00:40:47 |
How would he know anything about us? |
00:40:56 |
My father, Tetsuzo, would |
00:41:01 |
...behind that poster in our room. |
00:41:06 |
"Yuka's handwriting, " |
00:41:09 |
"Ueno Station 54 Haikyo" |
00:41:11 |
A month later, Tetsuzo's wife Taeko |
00:41:19 |
They searched their daughters' room |
00:41:28 |
They checked every website |
00:41:35 |
"1. Noriko was friends with |
00:41:41 |
"2. Ueno Station 54 meant |
00:41:47 |
Tetsuzo, a former reporter, |
00:41:53 |
Meanwhile, he stopped sharing |
00:41:59 |
What's wrong? |
00:42:03 |
Nothing. |
00:42:05 |
He thought it would be like saying |
00:42:11 |
Like saying aliens had |
00:42:21 |
There was no way |
00:42:30 |
He became more and more convinced |
00:42:42 |
He was afraid. It would be wading into |
00:42:47 |
He was sure that his wife would |
00:43:00 |
"Suicide Club Exists." The tabloid |
00:43:09 |
He knew the Suicide Club existed. |
00:43:16 |
He had been fooling himself that... |
00:43:20 |
...Toyokawa was some kind of paradise, |
00:43:26 |
Simple Toyokawa had become |
00:43:32 |
Because of the Suicide Club? |
00:43:37 |
"What's your connection to you, |
00:43:44 |
"How are you connected to yourself?" |
00:43:53 |
Dec. 11, 2002. |
00:43:56 |
After 3 months of investigation, |
00:44:05 |
"1. The Suicide Club exists. " |
00:44:11 |
"2. Members meet on Haikyo.com" |
00:44:17 |
"3. The dots onHaikyo.com |
00:44:22 |
"The white ones are men. |
00:44:44 |
What was I writing? |
00:44:57 |
Where's Tangerine? |
00:45:00 |
I don't know. |
00:45:06 |
On to the last scene. |
00:45:12 |
What has the power to get the magma flowing? |
00:45:15 |
Tetsuzo tried to speculate... |
00:45:21 |
But he told himself to |
00:45:27 |
He wrote so hard that he could see |
00:45:35 |
Wait... |
00:45:48 |
What if I tore this page from |
00:45:57 |
Who would shade my blank pages |
00:46:04 |
I managed to reach my sister's heart. |
00:46:18 |
Nobody would care about my imprint. |
00:46:30 |
A beautiful day in Toyokawa... |
00:46:35 |
That was the last time |
00:46:40 |
And the last time |
00:46:48 |
KUMIKO |
00:46:54 |
What's wrong? |
00:46:57 |
Nothing. |
00:47:00 |
PMS? |
00:47:03 |
Kumiko...Ueno Station? |
00:47:06 |
Call me Ueno Station if you want. |
00:47:09 |
Real name? |
00:47:22 |
Here. |
00:47:26 |
Hello. |
00:47:30 |
Grandma, it's been so long. |
00:47:34 |
The first day, we went to |
00:47:40 |
I'm almost done with elementary school. |
00:47:43 |
Good for you. |
00:47:51 |
I wasn't related to them at all, |
00:47:59 |
...and it was cozy. |
00:48:06 |
They were the epitome of happiness. |
00:48:16 |
I had lived as a member of the |
00:48:24 |
But we had been cold and distant. |
00:48:31 |
The bonds holding Kumiko's family together |
00:48:35 |
Each relationship an artery of happiness |
00:48:39 |
Kumiko's happy family. |
00:48:43 |
I wanted so badly to be |
00:48:53 |
We'll visit again. |
00:48:55 |
We waved and said goodbye to Grandma... |
00:49:01 |
...and then left for another |
00:49:30 |
Come on, Mitsuko. |
00:50:02 |
The other grandmother also |
00:50:10 |
How are you? |
00:50:14 |
They greeted each other. |
00:50:17 |
This time I wasn't so nervous |
00:50:21 |
The conversation went on exactly |
00:50:24 |
This is my classmate Mitsuko. |
00:50:30 |
Thanks. |
00:50:38 |
The most ideal brother |
00:50:45 |
Kumiko helped her mom in the kitchen. |
00:50:50 |
The perfect mother and daughter. |
00:50:54 |
Hey, Shingo! Come on! Dad! |
00:50:59 |
Kumiko's dad gave Grandma |
00:51:04 |
Could there be a more family-like family |
00:51:10 |
Make yourself at home, Mitsuko. |
00:51:15 |
She called me Mitsuko. |
00:51:19 |
I, as Mitsuko, became |
00:51:26 |
"The most important thing |
00:51:36 |
"I'm connected to myself, Yuka" |
00:51:41 |
"You understand, Yuka?" |
00:51:45 |
The members of Kumiko's family |
00:52:20 |
Wait 5 minutes, then come inside. |
00:52:25 |
Okay... |
00:52:57 |
Grandpa. |
00:53:00 |
You're late, Mitsuko. |
00:53:03 |
Where were you? |
00:53:06 |
Mitsuko. |
00:53:07 |
Come see your grandfather. |
00:53:12 |
Mitsuko is here. |
00:53:16 |
Mitsuko... |
00:53:20 |
Come closer... |
00:53:26 |
Grandpa! |
00:53:32 |
Grandpa. |
00:54:36 |
The new girl is good. |
00:54:40 |
He likes you. |
00:54:43 |
Good job. |
00:55:01 |
You even change your toothbrush |
00:55:09 |
Pick yours. |
00:55:17 |
I'll take this one. |
00:55:33 |
A great story opens your eyes. |
00:55:43 |
There was a baby born in a locker. |
00:55:48 |
Born in a locker? |
00:55:51 |
Years later, the mother found out |
00:55:59 |
...see her. |
00:56:00 |
No way. |
00:56:02 |
They met. |
00:56:03 |
Really? |
00:56:05 |
Yeah, but the woman was a bad actress. |
00:56:23 |
Once upon a time, there was a family. |
00:56:34 |
They were seemingly happy. |
00:56:41 |
However... |
00:56:56 |
The mother was smart and polite. |
00:57:02 |
The father was hard-working. |
00:57:07 |
But he didn't try to understand |
00:57:19 |
That's why they ran away. |
00:57:21 |
The first time in Tokyo's Suginami Ward. |
00:57:25 |
Stray cats roamed the back alleys |
00:57:33 |
Stray cats form families instantly. |
00:57:39 |
No need to feel sorry for them. |
00:57:52 |
We have to relate to each other |
00:58:01 |
We own Tokyo, OK? |
00:58:04 |
We do? |
00:58:09 |
Cool. |
00:58:16 |
While I was chewing gum, |
00:58:21 |
"Yes, we own Tokyo. " |
00:58:50 |
A middle-aged man came out. |
00:59:00 |
What are you wearing? |
00:59:10 |
Get in. |
00:59:22 |
We went inside. |
00:59:30 |
At that point, I had no idea |
00:59:37 |
But I knew Kumiko would tell me. |
00:59:42 |
This way. |
00:59:47 |
I walked down the hall. |
00:59:51 |
I saw many mortuary tablets |
00:59:58 |
Photographs. |
01:00:20 |
We went into the living room |
01:00:25 |
Sit! |
01:00:48 |
He lit a cigarette. |
01:00:56 |
I looked at Kumiko. |
01:01:02 |
She closed her eyes. |
01:01:13 |
Don't cry, stupid. |
01:01:15 |
But... |
01:01:17 |
I'm not a kid anymore. |
01:01:40 |
Dad. |
01:01:45 |
My turn. |
01:01:48 |
Dad looked at me with teary eyes. |
01:01:55 |
I was his daughter. |
01:02:03 |
Suddenly, I had a vision |
01:02:08 |
Headline "Dad is Lonely" |
01:02:12 |
No, not true. |
01:02:16 |
That wasn't my dad. |
01:02:33 |
He looked depressed. |
01:02:40 |
Ever since you girls disappeared, |
01:02:54 |
...thinking about you nonstop. |
01:03:03 |
I didn't forget for a moment. |
01:03:09 |
We shouldn't have come back. |
01:03:16 |
Wait. |
01:03:17 |
We ran down the hall, |
01:03:25 |
I heard Dad sobbing behind me. |
01:03:30 |
I couldn't stop. |
01:03:34 |
You crying? |
01:03:36 |
Let's go back, OK? |
01:03:39 |
Slurring my words, I tried to |
01:03:49 |
Let's go back. |
01:03:53 |
Yes, let's go back. |
01:04:29 |
Let's do everything over. |
01:04:31 |
Can you hear me, Yuka? |
01:04:37 |
I cried with my face buried |
01:04:43 |
I had never done anything like that. |
01:04:48 |
I was moved. |
01:04:51 |
Kumiko snuggled up to us and sobbed. |
01:04:57 |
We reconciled. |
01:05:02 |
Eat all you want. |
01:05:07 |
Sorry it's not much. |
01:05:09 |
Next time I'll get more food. |
01:05:17 |
It'll be fun. |
01:05:21 |
Your dad just won big on... |
01:05:25 |
...bicycle races. |
01:05:28 |
Awesome, Dad. |
01:05:30 |
Great. |
01:05:32 |
Horse racing, pachinko... |
01:05:40 |
It's like a miracle. |
01:05:43 |
You're so lucky. |
01:05:47 |
So, with that money... |
01:05:53 |
I want us to start over. |
01:06:02 |
I won't cause you any trouble. |
01:06:13 |
Your mother is |
01:06:22 |
Just got kind of emotional, huh? |
01:06:25 |
Let's eat. |
01:06:31 |
This is a little too sweet. |
01:06:48 |
Time's up. |
01:06:51 |
Well...can we finish dinner? |
01:06:54 |
Time's up. |
01:06:57 |
You're right. |
01:07:01 |
Time just flew by. |
01:07:09 |
A little bit longer, Dad. |
01:07:16 |
Really? |
01:07:20 |
Yeah, you just got back, so... |
01:07:28 |
Don't leave again. |
01:07:30 |
Dad. |
01:07:32 |
Don't go. Please stay. |
01:07:35 |
Don't get carried away, asshole. |
01:07:39 |
Rules are rules, you fuck. |
01:07:49 |
Let's get out of here. |
01:07:56 |
Get up. |
01:07:59 |
Get the fuck up. |
01:08:03 |
Wanna stay here forever? |
01:08:22 |
"Yuka? By now, you know what we do?" |
01:08:29 |
"It's called 'family rental.' You know it?" |
01:08:34 |
That...that was fun. Very fun. |
01:08:36 |
"Kumiko, born in a coin locker," |
01:08:38 |
"has her 25th birthday is coming up, |
01:08:43 |
"...which family to celebrate with. " |
01:08:50 |
1 year later |
01:08:52 |
In Tokyo, I was waiting for her. |
01:08:57 |
Kumiko, a. k. a. Ueno Station 54. |
01:09:09 |
Excuse me. |
01:09:12 |
I'd like to talk to you about something. |
01:09:16 |
An ordinary girl. |
01:09:18 |
If you have any questions about |
01:09:24 |
What? |
01:09:25 |
I can't explain anything |
01:09:37 |
You can't run away from me. |
01:09:40 |
"Your support. Personnel placement. |
01:09:43 |
I'll get you. |
01:09:57 |
"...24 Dead..." |
01:09:58 |
"...Mass Suicide..." |
01:10:12 |
They're late. |
01:10:17 |
Are they here? |
01:10:21 |
Who? |
01:10:32 |
That guy? |
01:10:37 |
Him? |
01:10:43 |
No. |
01:10:49 |
Be cool, be cool, be cool... |
01:11:04 |
They're not here yet. |
01:11:15 |
Mr. Shimabara? |
01:11:18 |
Yes. |
01:11:19 |
What do you wanna know? |
01:11:21 |
What? |
01:11:23 |
I wanna know the truth. |
01:11:35 |
Be cool, be cool... |
01:11:45 |
Are you connected to you, Tetsuzo? |
01:11:49 |
What? |
01:11:51 |
Are you connected to yourself? |
01:11:58 |
Yes. That's why I'm here. |
01:12:02 |
I know all about you. |
01:12:07 |
Good for you. |
01:12:13 |
Is this Suicide Club's headquarters? |
01:12:16 |
Suicide Club? No such thing. |
01:12:23 |
There are theories of |
01:12:25 |
of cult groups |
01:12:27 |
...and the apocalypse, |
01:12:31 |
Suicide Club this, Suicide Club that. |
01:12:35 |
It's even in the media. |
01:12:40 |
Don't pretend like you don't know. |
01:12:43 |
But it seems like they've forgotten |
01:12:51 |
54 people died there. |
01:13:00 |
People forget everything. |
01:13:04 |
There is no Suicide Club. It's all a |
01:13:06 |
Be cool, be cool... |
01:13:13 |
Even strongly put... |
01:13:16 |
- Be strong. - ...it's more of a |
01:13:24 |
A circle? |
01:13:26 |
Anyway, imagine that the Sun Goddess |
01:13:36 |
The collapse of civilization began |
01:14:08 |
Ueno Station, locker #54. |
01:14:13 |
She runs a family-rental business |
01:14:16 |
She runs a family-rental |
01:14:18 |
"Three-Day-Old Coin |
01:14:20 |
When requested, they go spend time |
01:14:26 |
...and pretend |
01:14:32 |
Sometimes for 10 years or 2O years. |
01:14:38 |
What is he saying? |
01:14:43 |
She has many companies, including |
01:14:48 |
Do you understand? |
01:14:53 |
What about the Suicide Club? |
01:14:54 |
What about it? |
01:14:58 |
It's the result of |
01:15:05 |
What Kumiko wanted was... |
01:15:09 |
...to live a normal life |
01:15:16 |
So she acted like a normal girl |
01:15:22 |
But that wasn't enough. |
01:15:29 |
She wanted to turn |
01:15:34 |
There's nothing more to tell you. |
01:15:39 |
What? |
01:15:40 |
I told you everything. |
01:15:44 |
Now, everyone else is starting to realize |
01:15:52 |
Don't you know? |
01:15:56 |
Be cool, be cool... |
01:16:06 |
You tried so hard to figure us out. |
01:16:14 |
I know all about you. |
01:16:20 |
You used to be a reporter. |
01:16:27 |
I want my daughters back. |
01:16:29 |
"Missing" |
01:16:31 |
I want my daughters back. |
01:16:32 |
"Searching for Lost Puppies" |
01:16:38 |
It's time for you to wake up to your role. |
01:16:44 |
Who are you? |
01:16:46 |
You said you were connected |
01:16:51 |
You're not believable |
01:16:58 |
The world is full of lies that people |
01:17:03 |
They fail as husbands, wives, |
01:17:10 |
So, the only way to figure out |
01:17:14 |
...is to lie openly |
01:17:20 |
Feel the desert. |
01:17:26 |
Survive the desert. |
01:17:45 |
That night, I had a strange dream. |
01:17:49 |
The desert. |
01:17:56 |
I was in their hideout. |
01:18:00 |
Was this really their hideout? |
01:18:04 |
I sensed Noriko and Yuka were here. |
01:18:08 |
I knew they were alive. |
01:18:14 |
I felt their presence profoundly. |
01:18:20 |
Noriko...her voice... |
01:18:23 |
Yuka...5 years old...running into |
01:18:31 |
They were alive. |
01:18:33 |
Why did Noriko run away from home |
01:18:40 |
Tetsuzo, what's your connection |
01:18:47 |
To yourself? |
01:18:54 |
Yuka. |
01:19:07 |
Noriko. |
01:19:21 |
I heard that guy's voice. |
01:19:32 |
I had to go on and find them. |
01:19:39 |
I woke up. |
01:19:43 |
TETSUZO |
01:20:33 |
Hello? |
01:20:35 |
Tetsu? It's me. |
01:20:38 |
I'm almost there. |
01:20:43 |
What story are you working on? |
01:20:47 |
I'll tell you later. |
01:20:50 |
OK. I'll see you shortly. |
01:21:02 |
What would I say to Yuka? |
01:21:06 |
What was she thinking |
01:21:08 |
Even if I was there, |
01:21:18 |
She disappeared the next day... |
01:21:21 |
It wasn't just some kind of |
01:21:24 |
She was clearly expressing anger at me. |
01:21:29 |
Immediately quitting my |
01:21:31 |
...the day after Yuka ran away... |
01:21:34 |
I didn't do that. |
01:21:39 |
I went to work like nothing happened, |
01:21:47 |
Is it OK like this? |
01:21:52 |
That's fine. |
01:21:53 |
Now, about the new |
01:21:58 |
The following day, our top story was |
01:22:06 |
It was 2 months later |
01:22:13 |
Because my wife killed herself. |
01:22:20 |
Can I take a picture? |
01:22:24 |
I thought Yuka would be shocked. |
01:22:26 |
I was an even worse father |
01:22:31 |
I chose my career over my family. |
01:22:34 |
Would you like to |
01:22:35 |
I chose my career |
01:22:37 |
I took pride in my work because |
01:22:56 |
In Toyokawa, The blue sky, the ocean, |
01:23:06 |
It was the perfect town. |
01:23:10 |
I wrote pastoral fluff pieces for the paper, |
01:23:21 |
We all lived in this perfect town. |
01:23:27 |
My daughters were residents of Toyokawa. |
01:23:36 |
Point at that thing. |
01:23:39 |
Look at Daddy. |
01:23:41 |
Let's take a picture. |
01:23:43 |
Picture time. |
01:23:45 |
Come on, Noriko. |
01:23:48 |
Right there. |
01:23:51 |
Point at that thing. |
01:23:54 |
Ready? |
01:24:01 |
Impressive. |
01:24:08 |
Come take a look at this. |
01:24:12 |
Noriko, Yuka, come on. |
01:24:17 |
Look. |
01:24:20 |
A happy family. |
01:24:24 |
When my wife did a painting |
01:24:29 |
I failed to notice |
01:24:35 |
Yuka wrote "All he understood was that |
01:24:45 |
When I read that, I cried. |
01:25:19 |
Fuck this. |
01:25:21 |
A bunch of crap. |
01:25:31 |
I had all these notes |
01:25:48 |
Fuck all this. |
01:25:53 |
A month later... |
01:25:58 |
My wife died. |
01:26:02 |
She was tired. |
01:26:04 |
Taeko. |
01:26:12 |
I read the notes repeatedly. |
01:26:17 |
Even though Yuka saw right through me... |
01:26:22 |
Yuka could simulate me, |
01:26:24 |
but I couldn't simulate my |
01:26:30 |
...or my wife's. |
01:26:41 |
Right here. |
01:26:50 |
Here. |
01:27:01 |
I'm so sorry. |
01:27:04 |
It's all my fault. |
01:27:08 |
Had I been a good mother, |
01:27:11 |
What? |
01:27:15 |
It's not your fault. |
01:27:40 |
Taeko. |
01:27:49 |
What are you still doing up? |
01:28:01 |
Taeko? |
01:28:04 |
Hey, Taeko? |
01:28:15 |
Hey... |
01:28:37 |
While I had my eyes averted from |
01:28:44 |
...my two daughters disappeared |
01:28:53 |
Taeko! |
01:29:09 |
Calm down. |
01:29:28 |
It's all right. |
01:29:35 |
No red balloons. |
01:29:39 |
I would've done |
01:29:41 |
...if they'd promised |
01:29:49 |
Tetsu. |
01:29:57 |
How you been? |
01:29:58 |
Hey. This way. |
01:30:00 |
What's the hurry? |
01:30:03 |
Sit. |
01:30:08 |
You know the Suicide Club? |
01:30:12 |
I started talking right away. |
01:30:15 |
A summary of my life in 30 sec. |
01:30:20 |
This is my daughter. |
01:30:22 |
I then explained why I was in Tokyo. |
01:30:25 |
I then handed him my notes, |
01:30:31 |
...to finish what I had started, |
01:30:39 |
I don't understand. |
01:30:45 |
Things have changed. |
01:30:49 |
After today, |
01:30:54 |
You're the only one I can trust |
01:31:00 |
What exactly do you want me to do? |
01:31:04 |
If you disappear, then what? |
01:31:07 |
Suppose this Suicide Club exists. |
01:31:14 |
You'll know what to do. |
01:31:20 |
I'm gonna go now. |
01:31:24 |
She'll be here in a minute. |
01:31:32 |
This is the scenario |
01:31:37 |
They'll play your daughters. |
01:31:44 |
Kumiko will play your wife, Taeko. |
01:31:49 |
Noriko and Yuka will be called... |
01:31:52 |
...Mitsuko and Yoko, respectively. |
01:31:59 |
Anyway, I have to go. |
01:32:47 |
Yeah? |
01:33:00 |
You called us? |
01:33:02 |
Yes. |
01:33:04 |
We appreciate your business. |
01:33:08 |
Come on in. |
01:33:10 |
Thanks. |
01:33:15 |
Please sit. |
01:33:17 |
So, let's talk. |
01:33:21 |
You want to be the father, correct? |
01:33:24 |
Yes. |
01:33:26 |
You want a wife and two daughters? |
01:33:30 |
Yes. |
01:33:33 |
Look through this photo album |
01:33:49 |
I like this girl. |
01:33:56 |
The older sister will be Mitsuko. |
01:34:08 |
And my wife... |
01:34:26 |
Hey, Sis. |
01:34:30 |
Sis? |
01:34:35 |
Mitsuko doesn't need to act right now. |
01:34:41 |
No acting when you have no role. |
01:34:44 |
I was embarrassed. I knew she |
01:34:51 |
I needed more practice. |
01:34:56 |
You need more practice. |
01:35:01 |
You're Yoko. |
01:35:05 |
Not Yuka, not Noriko. |
01:35:09 |
Forget that. |
01:35:29 |
Memorize this address. |
01:35:34 |
Stores, banks, cigarette machines... |
01:35:43 |
He wants to act like he's been |
01:35:47 |
So we have to act like |
01:35:56 |
He wants us to be |
01:36:02 |
I'm his wife. |
01:36:07 |
This time you're sisters. |
01:36:22 |
This guy is your father. |
01:36:25 |
They stared at the photograph, |
01:36:30 |
They imagined being his daughters. |
01:36:34 |
...doing that made the father's face |
01:36:38 |
I look at the customer's face. |
01:36:43 |
But to make sure it wasn't |
01:36:51 |
That guy I met - Tetsuzo. |
01:36:58 |
I knew for sure he was behind this. |
01:37:04 |
Tetsuzo Shimabara. |
01:37:14 |
Mitsuko. |
01:37:17 |
Yes? |
01:37:20 |
Do you still have the coat you were |
01:37:28 |
Yeah. |
01:37:31 |
You have it now? |
01:37:37 |
Yeah. |
01:37:40 |
Can I see it? |
01:37:48 |
Sure. |
01:37:56 |
I remember this. |
01:38:00 |
Can you put it on? |
01:38:04 |
Okay. |
01:38:16 |
Can you imitate Noriko with this? |
01:38:32 |
I want you to wear it today, Mitsuko. |
01:38:40 |
Former sisters... |
01:38:43 |
He's not a regular client. |
01:38:48 |
Be careful. |
01:38:51 |
They weren't ready for this. |
01:38:56 |
Often times, people came to us |
01:39:05 |
Business card. |
01:39:06 |
5 years ago, I met someone who |
01:39:11 |
She begged for a chance to fix |
01:39:18 |
Sayuri Yoshida? |
01:39:24 |
What's that? |
01:39:29 |
You read my letter? |
01:39:32 |
Yeah. |
01:39:37 |
I read it, Mom. |
01:39:40 |
I called her Mom. |
01:39:42 |
Thank you. |
01:39:45 |
Mom. |
01:39:49 |
Once again. |
01:39:51 |
Slowly. |
01:39:53 |
Mom. |
01:39:55 |
Mitsuko. |
01:39:57 |
I don't know that name. |
01:40:01 |
You know how much I missed you? |
01:40:04 |
I'm sorry, Mitsuko. |
01:40:06 |
Who's Mitsuko? |
01:40:09 |
I always think about you. |
01:40:14 |
Thank you, Mitsuko. |
01:40:20 |
Where's Dad? |
01:40:25 |
We're back together now. |
01:40:36 |
And? You suck at acting. |
01:40:40 |
What do you mean? |
01:40:41 |
You want me to play the mother's role? |
01:40:47 |
Now you listen to me. |
01:40:52 |
If you want, I can play your mother, |
01:41:04 |
A locker is my mother. |
01:41:08 |
I told her a locker was my mother. |
01:41:13 |
The woman cried and screamed, |
01:41:22 |
You' re so cruel! |
01:41:23 |
- I' m cruel? |
01:41:26 |
Even if she was my real mother, |
01:41:31 |
Express more suffering. |
01:41:32 |
Express more suffering. |
01:41:34 |
Just an amateur actress. |
01:41:38 |
She couldn't play it well. |
01:41:40 |
So easy. Crying is the easiest |
01:41:42 |
I thought about showing her |
01:41:53 |
I want to start over. |
01:41:57 |
Would Tetsuzo say that too? |
01:41:59 |
Practice with us. |
01:42:03 |
I'll do anything. |
01:42:13 |
She says she'll practice |
01:42:18 |
Sayuri. |
01:42:20 |
I'll do anything. |
01:42:30 |
Take her. |
01:42:42 |
Wait. |
01:42:43 |
Bring along your man. |
01:42:50 |
He's here now. |
01:42:55 |
Where? |
01:43:03 |
Mitsuko. |
01:43:06 |
Take him too. |
01:43:09 |
Their daughter was |
01:43:25 |
Mitsuko... |
01:43:34 |
A few years later, |
01:43:49 |
If you do a good job tonight, |
01:43:58 |
OK. |
01:44:00 |
Mitsuko? |
01:44:03 |
OK. |
01:44:07 |
But remember, you're not real sisters. |
01:44:13 |
The guy will play your father. |
01:44:17 |
Don't let him confuse you. |
01:44:22 |
OK? |
01:44:34 |
"8:29 PM" |
01:44:35 |
I had all the lights on. |
01:44:40 |
I heard a car stop outside. |
01:44:45 |
It was a gamble. |
01:44:49 |
They're here. |
01:44:54 |
What did I want? |
01:44:57 |
To regain my pride and dignity? |
01:45:01 |
No, I just wanted to show them |
01:45:09 |
This was a party. |
01:45:11 |
A surprise party. |
01:45:16 |
I grasped my wife's knife |
01:45:21 |
I suddenly regretted my whole life. |
01:45:23 |
For some reason as I felt that regret, |
01:45:30 |
How was Hokkaido? |
01:45:45 |
We're home. |
01:45:48 |
I had looked for a house |
01:45:57 |
This one's very similar. |
01:46:03 |
You're right. |
01:46:04 |
- Can we go look at it now? |
01:46:08 |
Thanks. |
01:46:09 |
Here. |
01:46:10 |
Great. |
01:46:12 |
I think it meets your criteria. |
01:46:17 |
Can we go inside? |
01:46:19 |
Sure. |
01:46:21 |
Be careful. |
01:46:26 |
I transported everything. |
01:46:29 |
Furniture, Noriko's stuff, Yuka's stuff... |
01:46:39 |
Everything. |
01:47:02 |
We're home. |
01:47:05 |
I'm exhausted. |
01:47:07 |
Welcome home. |
01:47:09 |
Hi, Dad. |
01:47:11 |
I'm so tired. |
01:47:17 |
I missed you. |
01:47:25 |
Noriko and Yuka carried |
01:47:38 |
It was the first time in 2 years |
01:47:44 |
My heart was beating. |
01:48:29 |
Mitsuko, Yoko... |
01:48:32 |
Something wrong? |
01:48:45 |
"How was Hokkaido?" |
01:48:51 |
I humored him. |
01:48:53 |
Mitsuko, smiling, |
01:49:00 |
I missed you. |
01:49:02 |
I missed you too. |
01:49:06 |
It wasn't the same without you. |
01:49:10 |
Corny acting. Was this what their |
01:49:18 |
But I was lonely and desperate too. |
01:49:25 |
I've prepared sukiyaki for you. |
01:49:29 |
Wonderful. |
01:49:32 |
Oh, no. |
01:49:33 |
What? |
01:49:35 |
Taeko, come here. |
01:49:38 |
What? |
01:49:40 |
Problem? |
01:49:47 |
What's the matter? |
01:49:50 |
I forgot to buy meat. |
01:49:57 |
What was I thinking? |
01:49:59 |
You're just tired. |
01:50:03 |
I'll go buy it. |
01:50:06 |
But you just got back. |
01:50:08 |
It's OK. I'll be right back. |
01:50:11 |
Get me 3 packs of Cherry Cigarettes, too. |
01:50:16 |
OK. |
01:50:16 |
I needed to buy time. |
01:50:20 |
Cherry Cigarettes were hard to find. |
01:50:26 |
Kumiko was gone. |
01:50:29 |
I heard the door shut. |
01:50:34 |
Vegetables, shirataki noodles... |
01:50:41 |
Ikeda went back to the room. |
01:50:51 |
Put your bags in your room. |
01:51:32 |
Sis? |
01:51:35 |
Yeah? |
01:51:40 |
Been a long day, huh? |
01:51:45 |
Yeah. |
01:51:51 |
Just like old times, isn't it? |
01:51:55 |
Come downstairs. |
01:51:57 |
Hurry. |
01:51:59 |
OK. |
01:52:19 |
I didn't have much time. |
01:52:24 |
I had to act efficiently. |
01:52:27 |
My daughters were smiling. |
01:52:30 |
They looked so lovely. |
01:52:38 |
I had made up my past |
01:52:41 |
...in the back of a cold |
01:52:46 |
But in reality |
01:52:49 |
Soft and fragile, |
01:52:55 |
An outline... |
01:53:02 |
I wanted to make him a solid father. |
01:53:08 |
It wasn't long ago that |
01:53:12 |
Phone for you. |
01:53:15 |
How may I help you? |
01:53:19 |
What? |
01:53:20 |
He wants to kill me. |
01:53:21 |
You're gonna die? |
01:53:23 |
Maybe. Could you leave? |
01:53:26 |
Cheerfully, Broken Dam delivered |
01:53:30 |
Cheerfully, Broken Dam delivered |
01:53:33 |
I took psychology. |
01:53:35 |
In class, a bully and |
01:53:40 |
...and the bully felt the victim's |
01:53:45 |
He what? |
01:53:47 |
He wept. |
01:53:48 |
- Sorry I'm late. |
01:53:52 |
The bully learned his lesson |
01:54:01 |
So, someone has to play |
01:54:10 |
Everyone wants to be champagne, |
01:54:20 |
But the world needs glasses and vases. |
01:54:26 |
Like a master/servant relationship. |
01:54:32 |
- What's capitalism? |
01:54:35 |
Lovers, spouses, family members... |
01:54:40 |
We all need to reverse roles and... |
01:54:44 |
...figure out what each of us |
01:54:52 |
Survival of the fittest? |
01:54:57 |
So cute. |
01:54:59 |
We need rabbits. |
01:55:03 |
Rabbits and lions can't switch places, |
01:55:10 |
Some will kill. |
01:55:16 |
That's the circle of life, |
01:55:21 |
Just like the numbers after |
01:55:26 |
real circles can never be perfect. |
01:55:30 |
But if you draw a circle with |
01:55:37 |
...a thick outline will |
01:55:44 |
I'll give you a sense |
01:55:48 |
You can be a lion. |
01:55:54 |
I don't need thick outlines. |
01:55:58 |
My metal box is starting to rot. |
01:56:01 |
I'm gonna go to a higher level. |
01:56:06 |
A rabbit, a suicide, a killer, evil, |
01:56:13 |
I'll be whatever no one else wants to be. |
01:56:17 |
I'm sick of shameless outlines of |
01:56:22 |
They don't wanna be rabbits. |
01:56:26 |
There's no such jungle. |
01:56:29 |
While our club expanded... |
01:56:33 |
Broken Dam, Cripple #5, |
01:56:40 |
Some killed themselves. |
01:56:45 |
Broken Dam went |
01:56:47 |
...who hated his Wife in |
01:56:52 |
Red carpet in the hall. |
01:56:54 |
I'll turn it on. |
01:56:56 |
You know what song he requested? |
01:57:01 |
- Some SMAP song? |
01:57:03 |
What? |
01:57:04 |
Hint? Think, a geyser of blood. |
01:57:08 |
What? |
01:57:10 |
Blood won't be noticeable here. |
01:57:14 |
- I got it. "Wine-Red Heart"? |
01:57:18 |
Just turn on the radio in 3O sec. |
01:57:21 |
OK. |
01:57:26 |
Why weren't you with me that day? |
01:57:29 |
I'm sorry, sweetheart. |
01:57:30 |
- "Bright Red Sun"? |
01:57:37 |
Forgive me. |
01:57:39 |
Why did you go see him? |
01:57:44 |
I'm sorry I betrayed your trust. |
01:57:46 |
I'm sorry I betrayed your trust. |
01:57:47 |
...beautiful song, isn't it? |
01:57:50 |
This next song is a request from |
01:57:55 |
It's called "Blossom of a Red Rose. " |
01:57:59 |
"Blossom of a Red Rose. " |
01:58:02 |
It's your favorite. |
01:58:04 |
- It's your favorite. Let's sing. |
01:58:06 |
# "A rose has bloomed, a rose |
01:58:09 |
...a rose has bloomed... |
01:58:12 |
...a rose has bloomed... |
01:58:13 |
"In my lonely garden a rose has bloomed" |
01:58:19 |
...in my lonely garden... |
01:58:26 |

01:58:57 |
"A rose has bloomed, a rose has bloomed, |
01:59:04 |
"My lonely garden |
01:59:17 |
Here. Thank you. |
01:59:23 |
Thanks. |
01:59:28 |
A look of satisfaction on his big fat |
01:59:31 |
"The rose lost its petals so suddenly" |
01:59:33 |
A look of satisfaction on his big |
01:59:37 |
Broken Dam said over and over. |
01:59:42 |
"My garden is lonely as it was before" |
01:59:43 |
"You deserve this, |
01:59:46 |
"My garden's rose has |
01:59:49 |
The man stabbed her repeatedly. |
01:59:52 |
"My garden's rose has lost its petal but" |
01:59:53 |
Broken Dam played her role |
01:59:58 |
"A rose has bloomed in my lonely heart" |
02:00:03 |
Did she really die? |
02:00:06 |
Yeah. |
02:00:07 |
Alright! |
02:00:09 |
You're next. |
02:00:10 |
"Oh rose, rose, rose of my heart" |
02:00:12 |
I'll do my best. |
02:00:14 |
"Forever blooming there" |
02:01:05 |
Cripple #5, Long Neck, and Midnight... |
02:01:06 |
"Forever blooming there" |
02:01:11 |
...jumped off the platform. |
02:01:14 |
I made Mitsuko witness it. |
02:01:19 |
I wanted her to undertake a task |
02:01:25 |
She was still seeking happiness. |
02:01:32 |
But I knew she'd transcend it. |
02:02:09 |
After I finished shopping, |
02:02:22 |
THE KNIFE IN MY P0CKET |
02:02:35 |
What? |
02:02:39 |
Are you 0K, Dad? |
02:02:49 |
Something wrong, Dad? |
02:02:52 |
They kept saying "Dad." |
02:02:54 |
Was that how they pleased |
02:02:59 |
There's someone I want you to meet. |
02:03:07 |
Who? |
02:03:08 |
This is fun. |
02:03:15 |
Come on out, Tetsu. |
02:03:23 |
Tetsu. |
02:03:26 |
Now. |
02:03:59 |
Hello. |
02:04:07 |
He has wanted to see you. |
02:04:14 |
Sit down. |
02:04:20 |
We're not gonna wait for the meat. |
02:04:25 |
Come on. |
02:04:27 |
Introduce yourself. |
02:04:30 |
You want me to introduce you? |
02:04:38 |
Do something. |
02:04:40 |
You're their father. |
02:04:54 |
What are you doing? |
02:04:59 |
What's this guy's problem? |
02:05:04 |
Hey, stranger. |
02:05:10 |
Stranger? |
02:05:12 |
This is Yoko. You don't know? |
02:05:20 |
By the way, stranger... |
02:05:23 |
I'll tell you my name. |
02:05:30 |
Can you remember that? |
02:05:34 |
I'm Mitsuko. |
02:05:47 |
I want to start over. |
02:05:50 |
Noriko. |
02:05:52 |
Yuka. |
02:05:55 |
I'm your dad. Your father. |
02:06:01 |
I'm out of here. |
02:06:05 |
Noriko, Yuka. |
02:06:20 |
Time's up. |
02:06:22 |
Let's go. |
02:06:24 |
It hasn't been an hour yet. |
02:06:26 |
Who are you? |
02:06:29 |
I thought you were my father. |
02:06:35 |
Take this guy and leave. |
02:06:37 |
Now, Yuka, call him "Dad. " |
02:06:49 |
I'm back. |
02:06:56 |
Hey, I'm back. |
02:07:03 |
What? |
02:07:04 |
Stop. |
02:07:05 |
You're hurting me. |
02:07:36 |
Stay out of this. |
02:07:47 |
What is this, sweetheart? |
02:07:52 |
Stop this stupid act. |
02:07:57 |
What? |
02:08:00 |
Stop this stupid act. |
02:08:05 |
I'm the customer here. |
02:08:10 |
Customer? |
02:08:14 |
Sometimes, I would forget |
02:08:18 |
Sweetheart? |
02:08:20 |
No, I'm Ikeda. |
02:08:35 |
You come with me. |
02:08:39 |
Get up. |
02:09:14 |
Stranger... |
02:09:21 |
Get out of here. |
02:09:43 |
Noriko... |
02:09:47 |
Noriko... |
02:09:49 |
I'm Mitsuko. |
02:09:53 |
I'm Mitsuko. |
02:10:12 |
Noriko. |
02:10:14 |
I'm Mitsuko. |
02:11:04 |
I felt like I was back in 2002, |
02:11:13 |
I tore off a thread that was |
02:11:19 |
54 girls lined up on the platform |
02:11:24 |
Open a window. I needed some air. |
02:11:31 |
I walked past the stranger |
02:11:37 |
I opened the window. |
02:11:43 |
It was snowing. |
02:11:45 |
Saliva started to flow in my mouth. |
02:11:53 |
It might have been drool. Cold drool. |
02:11:57 |
I couldn't breathe, |
02:12:02 |
Drool dripped on the floor. |
02:12:06 |
The table, reflected in the window, |
02:12:22 |
Guys from our circle were beating up the |
02:12:57 |
I crouched down and |
02:13:07 |
I was drooling, |
02:13:16 |
Soon, everything turned white. |
02:13:22 |
It felt like there was sand everywhere. |
02:13:30 |
But I wasn't in the desert. I was in some |
02:13:40 |
And I was talking to Tangerine. |
02:13:44 |
Tangerine, Tangerine... Round, |
02:13:48 |
...was standing in the snow. |
02:13:51 |
What's up, Norippe? |
02:13:57 |
Boys are trouble... |
02:14:01 |
I remembered that we used to |
02:14:10 |
Recognize my uniform, Norippe? |
02:14:14 |
That's the school I go to now. |
02:14:18 |
It was a snowy night, |
02:14:23 |
I still love tangerines. |
02:14:30 |
Tangerines. |
02:14:37 |
Yuka was crying. |
02:15:22 |
Mitsuko. Yoko. |
02:15:27 |
Mom. |
02:15:28 |
I got some meat. |
02:15:32 |
What happened? |
02:15:37 |
Let's eat. |
02:15:41 |
Can you go get the portable stove |
02:15:47 |
So cold today. |
02:15:49 |
I know. |
02:15:51 |
Can you close the window? |
02:15:56 |
Also, can you go get the pan? |
02:16:01 |
My hands are numb. |
02:16:07 |
What? |
02:16:08 |
It doesn't work, Mom. |
02:16:13 |
Where are extra gas cartridges? |
02:16:18 |
He'll find them. |
02:16:21 |
- Don't put it on the stove. |
02:16:24 |
It's out of gas. |
02:16:25 |
I'll put it here for now. |
02:16:30 |
- I'm so hungry. |
02:16:33 |
Do we have extra cartridges? |
02:16:56 |
Sweetheart, you wanted us |
02:17:04 |
Didn't you? |
02:17:12 |
Please. |
02:17:19 |
Kill me. |
02:17:23 |
Who's this man? |
02:17:26 |
He's your father, silly. |
02:17:29 |
Noriko, your father's looking for |
02:17:34 |
Noriko? |
02:17:36 |
Kill me now. |
02:17:41 |
Just kill me. |
02:17:47 |
No, I'm not Noriko. |
02:17:58 |
Don't make a face, Noriko. |
02:18:03 |
No. |
02:18:06 |
You're a girl. |
02:18:07 |
I'm not Noriko. |
02:18:12 |
Girls shouldn't do that. |
02:18:15 |
No. |
02:18:16 |
Dear, don't you agree? |
02:18:18 |
Mom, I'm Mitsuko. |
02:18:23 |
We wanna avoid pain. |
02:18:27 |
We just wanna avoid pain, right? |
02:18:35 |
You, me... |
02:18:39 |
We just wanna avoid pain, right? |
02:18:44 |
We all just wanna avoid pain. |
02:19:04 |
It's time to go, but... |
02:19:14 |
Are we going? |
02:19:19 |
Or staying? |
02:19:25 |
What do you wanna do, sir? |
02:19:39 |
I'm so tired. |
02:19:42 |
Right, sir? |
02:19:50 |
Sir? |
02:20:01 |
Do you want more time? |
02:20:17 |
I think... |
02:20:23 |
Can I say what I think? |
02:20:32 |
Is it OK, Mitsuko? |
02:20:48 |
You all look like lions to me. |
02:20:58 |
You all look like lions. |
02:21:20 |
Let's be rabbits again. |
02:21:30 |
Let's be rabbits again, OK? |
02:21:45 |
I want to extend this session. |
02:22:02 |
Let's extend it. |
02:22:22 |
Mm, this is good. |
02:22:34 |
Ow, hot! |
02:22:37 |
Home-cooked meals are the best. |
02:22:40 |
You have to eat vegetables too. |
02:22:44 |
Get me some meat, Mom. |
02:22:49 |
- Get it yourself. |
02:22:53 |
I gave you vegetables, too. |
02:22:56 |
- Want some meat, Dad? |
02:23:02 |
It's delicious. |
02:23:07 |
Tea? |
02:23:09 |
Refill, please. |
02:23:12 |
- Here. Yuka, you want tea? |
02:23:14 |
Honey, excuse me. Oh, watch out! |
02:23:17 |
There is no Suicide Club. |
02:23:23 |
Warms you up, huh? |
02:23:25 |
I know. |
02:23:29 |
You can eat more, right? |
02:23:31 |
My face is burning. |
02:23:34 |
The world is the Suicide Club, with far |
02:23:42 |
Being close to death gives living value. |
02:23:46 |
Only a small fraction of our |
02:23:52 |
Not all members commit suicide? |
02:23:55 |
It was a stupid question. |
02:23:59 |
Only the members whose roles |
02:24:06 |
If you saw a lion eat a zebra, |
02:24:13 |
Lions eat zebras. |
02:24:19 |
The circle of life. |
02:24:35 |
- Are you eating vegetables? |
02:24:39 |
But there's still a lot. |
02:24:42 |
'Cause you're only eating meat Sis. |
02:24:47 |
Sorry. |
02:24:51 |
I want... |
02:24:56 |
I want to start over. |
02:25:09 |
What are you talking about? |
02:25:11 |
Listen to me. |
02:25:15 |
Taeko. |
02:25:23 |
I want to redo everything. Starting now. |
02:25:50 |
But... |
02:25:54 |
Don't you know... |
02:25:56 |
We're all sick and tired of |
02:26:03 |
Dad... |
02:26:07 |
You've always been so selfish. |
02:26:11 |
Noriko. |
02:26:13 |
She had never said anything |
02:26:19 |
If she had, I probably would've hit her. |
02:26:24 |
I'm so sorry. |
02:26:27 |
I was wrong. |
02:26:38 |
So let's... |
02:26:44 |
...make a fresh start. |
02:26:53 |
Let's die once... |
02:26:58 |
...and come back to life. |
02:27:19 |
I'm done. |
02:27:24 |
It was delicious. |
02:27:26 |
- I'm full. |
02:27:28 |
We finished it all. |
02:27:31 |
3 hours had passed. |
02:27:33 |
The extension on my time was about over. |
02:27:39 |
I was happy. |
02:27:46 |
I wanted to shout, "Happy!" |
02:27:51 |
My dad...my sister... |
02:27:56 |
...and Kumiko as my mother. |
02:28:07 |
Happy! |
02:28:11 |
I reminisced about... |
02:28:15 |
...the stuffed animal attached to |
02:28:22 |
...memories...in rapid succession... |
02:28:31 |
After dinner, my sister and l |
02:28:39 |
Sis. |
02:28:40 |
Do you remember, |
02:28:42 |
...when he was discovered |
02:28:45 |
We talked about our past... |
02:28:52 |
Yeah, I remember. |
02:28:59 |
I couldn't tell if this woman |
02:29:04 |
but she was laughing |
02:29:11 |
You must be tired. |
02:29:13 |
You must be too. |
02:29:17 |
Mom, Dad. |
02:29:21 |
I wanted the power to go out |
02:29:28 |
But the whole house remained |
02:29:37 |
I'm a little dizzy from the heat. |
02:29:42 |
Gotta get up early tomorrow, right? |
02:29:45 |
- Gotta get some sleep. |
02:29:50 |
G'night. |
02:29:51 |
Good night. |
02:30:02 |
I wanted to thank my father |
02:30:12 |
That night, I thought I could |
02:30:19 |
She had always said... |
02:30:24 |
"Gotta go somewhere different. |
02:30:30 |
I had laughed at her. |
02:30:34 |
But I finally understood her. |
02:30:46 |
I watched her sleep |
02:30:53 |
She was moaning in her sleep. |
02:30:59 |
Sounded familiar. |
02:31:03 |
I wanted to tell her, |
02:31:09 |
I'm sorry, Sis. |
02:31:29 |
Then I quietly got out of bed. |
02:31:35 |
Tiptoed down the hall. |
02:31:40 |
Something I wanted to see. |
02:31:49 |
Grinding his teeth... |
02:31:55 |
Thank you, Dad. |
02:32:39 |
While I was putting on my shoes, |
02:32:45 |
I held it in. |
02:33:06 |
I opened the door and went outside. |
02:33:14 |
6 AM. It was still dark. |
02:33:19 |
I took a deep breath. |
02:34:16 |
I started to walk down the street |
02:34:22 |
I wanted to go somewhere |
02:34:30 |
I sneezed. |
02:34:36 |
I'm walking for the first time. |
02:34:44 |
I was through with Yoko. |
02:34:50 |
Just some nameless girl. |
02:35:51 |
Your heart is a small glass. |
02:35:59 |
...tears will spill out. |
02:36:04 |
Goodbye, Yuka. |
02:36:09 |
Goodbye, my adolescence. |
02:36:13 |
Goodbye, Haikyo. com. |
02:36:17 |
Goodbye, Mitsuko. |
02:36:24 |
I am Noriko. |
