When I die, will I become that star?
You want to become a star?
Yes, because my family's all there.
Is that so?
I want to become a beautiful star.
If you want to become a star,
then you have to live properly first.
What does it mean "to live"?
To live is to have hope.
Hope?
Without hope, people cannot live on.
What if hope disappears?
Hope will never disappear.
It just plays hide-and-seek with you sometimes.
Is this place Heaven?
This place is...
To Each His Own
Monday morning is full of despair;
Tuesday morning and my mind's all blank.
Wednesday morning is the hardest to get through;
Thursday morning is a little easier.
Friday morning is a little happier.
Isn't this talking about me?
Saturday morning is the happiest;
Sunday morning is suddenly melancholy.
But life will not be so bad.
How absurd.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning exercises will start now!
Lift your arms forwards and then up above your heads.
Stretching exercises, begin!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight!
Arm and leg exercises!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
For someone like me who repeatedly had the door slammed into my face while job-searching,
when this company agreed to hire me,
I was very happy.
Your voices' are too soft!
Five, six, seven, eight!
One, two, three four...
I had hopes and dreams,
and was full of motivation.
Three! Fined ¥1000 if I'm 10 minutes late!
Three! Fined ¥1000 if I'm 10 minutes late!
Four! I don't need paid time off!
Because my body will become lazy!
Because my body will become lazy!
With the highest number of closed deals, Igarashi!
Here!
17 deals.
- Here. - Thank you.
Clap!
- I'll take my leave. - Have a good day.
For a salesman, performance is everything.
I thought that I had already prepared myself for this, but reality was even more brutal than what I imagined.
Aoyama!
Here!
Daito Advertising came to complain about you.
You got the logo's font wrong.
But I was following Saito-san's instructions...
You are the person responsible right now!
Is it not part of your duties to double-check?
- Yes. - If you want your pay to increase,
- get the quotas done and let me take a look at it, you good-for-nothing! - Yes,sir!
I say,
I'm only giving you this job because you can't ever get a contract signed.
This is out of the goodness of my heart, no?
But you - no passion at all and just going through the motions.
Are you looking down on me?
- I never intended to... - Go do your work!
I have no time to listen to your rubbish. I already told them it would be done within 30 minutes.
Don't you dare be late!
Yes, sir!
I want to contribute to the company too.
But lately, once I get reprimanded by Mr Yamakami
my mind becomes all blank.
To the crossroads at Nakano Shinbashi.
Of course the taxi fares come out of my own pocket.
- Igarashi. - Yes?
You got your bonus this morning.
Are you going to use it on a date tonight?
You did a good job closing 17 deals.
Next month you should close 20, alright?
Yes, sir.
- You've worked hard. - Thank you for your hard work!
You've worked hard.
- By the way, Aoyama. - Yes?
The losses from the project just now will be deducted from your salary.
- Eh? - You've worked hard.
And summarise this month's sales amount. I need it for our meeting in the morning.
Yes, sir.
- Do your best. - Yes, sir.
- You've worked hard. - Thank you for your hard work.
For 3 months in a row, my overtime had surpassed 150 hours.
But I did not get any overtime pay.
Only the basic pay.
- What is it? - Takashi! You've finally picked up.
What is it? I'm working right now.
Until so late?
If there's anything, say it quick.
I was thinking of whether there was anything you wanted to eat. I'll send it over to you.
Haven't I told you? I don't want anything.
But it doesn't matter if you have too much food.
I've already said I don't want it. You're bothering me.
Really?
Then when's the next time you are coming back?
Why are you suddenly bringing this up? I can't say for sure right now.
I want to eat delicious cakes from Tokyo.
What are saying? I'm busy right now. I'm hanging up.
Lately whenever I call him, he is always irritated.
His work must be tough.
Just let him vent.
Since young, he would only act spoiled with you.
But it has been more than a year and a half since he last came back.
He's busy.
He just has to work hard. He's fine.
That's true.
You're right.
[Department head Yamakami]
Why do people work?
If it's so that we can live,
does this count as my being alive?
The train is arriving at Platform 2.
Please stay within the yellow line for your safety.
My body feels like it has been filled with lead.
I want to rest.
I want to sleep.
I'm so tired.
I don't care if I don't see the sun tomorrow anymore.
Long time no see! It's me, Yamamoto.
We haven't seen each other since elementary school.
- I'm sorry, I... - This is really nostalgic!
After transferring schools midway, I never had contact with you guys anymore.
- I'm so happy! Right? - Yes...
- Let's go have a drink. - I don't...
- You eat sashimi? - I can eat it.
Great! Then it's settled. What a great coincidence.
I'm really grateful for God's blessing.
What are you doing? Take a seat.
- I'm going to the washroom. - The washroom's over there.
- Do you drink beer? - Yes.
- Two draft beers. - Yes.
- Two draft beers. - Two draft beers!
It's me, Aoyama.
Oh, Takashi? It's been a while. What is it?
Um that is, do you still remember Yamamoto?
- Yamamoto? - Yes.
Seems like he was in the same class as us during elementary school.
- Which year? - He said he transferred midway.
Yamamoto Kenichii? During 3rd year of elementary school.
Ah, there was this person!
That's right, the one who was always well-behaved.
What were you doing? The beer's almost gone.
Sorry. It was crowded at the washroom.
Is that so? Come, let's toast our reunion!
Boss, one sashimi platter, whale bacon and edamame.
- And some fried chicken as well. - Yes.
- Okay? - Yes.
How did you recognise me?
- You still look the same as before. - Really?
Of course you wouldn't realise it.
But somehow I think you've changed a little.
Maybe it's because I started using the Osaka dialect.
Going to Osaka really turned you into an interesting person.
I say, Aoyama, that's not nice to hear.
You've got it all wrong if you think that everyone in Osaka is a funny guy.
Do you know how frustrating and hurtful this kind of thinking is?
Really? I'm sorry.
This, how am I supposed to pull off a joke without a participant?
Making me fire all my jokes at you, who can keep it up? Seriously.
- Boss, some sardine sashimi. - Yes.
I say, do you still remember things from elementary school?
- You were the one who transferred in Year 4 right? - Yes.
- Sorry for the wait. - Thank you.
Aoyama, what did you dream of becoming when you were young?
- A soccer player I suppose? - Really? I didn't know.
Look, do you still remember Mura-sensei? Our homeroom teacher during Year 3.
The one who was always in a black sweatshirt.
- This brings back memories! - It does.
- Was it Murata?\- Murakami.
That's right, Murakami!
- Is your company nearby? - Yes. Opposite the train station.
Here.
Doing sales?
- Ah that, tell me your phone num... - Tell me your phone number.
What are you smiling about?
- Nothing. - It's not nothing!
You're having fun all by yourself and not letting me in on it, I'm so lonely!
Before we meet next time, I'll be brushing up on my skills.
Tell me your number.
You say it.
080...
Aoyama-kun! Aoyama-kun!
Aoyama-kun!
What's going on?
Aoyama, you're up!
You're not working today right? Let's go play!
Get dressed, quick!
Say, how did you know where my house was?
You told me. Last time at the bar.
I did? I don't remember it at all.
You probably drank too much.
Not to that extent! Speaking of,
why did you climb up a tree to peek inside?
Just in case. It would be bad if I got the wrong room.
What are you so shy about?
Nostalgic, isn't it?
We played this all the time during elementary school.
- What are you doing? - It's fine. Get in.
Wait, wait!
Stop it, it's dangerous!
- I've never played this before! - You have, you definitely have!
Yamamoto, this is dangerous!
This guy,
is not like that mature, well-behaved Yamamoto from last time at all!
Did I get myself involved with a crazy stalker who goes after men?
- This feels great! - That's enough. Quick, stop it!
My bad, it can't be stopped!
Are you kidding me?
That hurts!
That was really dangerous.
Stop that nonsense. What if we had really died?
What are you laughing about?
Look at the sky,
Aoyama.
It has been a long time since I last saw the sky.
I was surprised to find myself relieved that I didn't die.
Just like what Yamamoto said, it might be that I had just forgotten it all.
We will definitely pay you back. He will.
It felt like I returned to the time when we were in elementary school, playing together.
This really suits you! Take a look.
- This won't do, will it? - You look really cool! It really suits you.
I can't pull it off. It's too striking for a salesman.
That's exactly what you want. It can become something to talk about.
What... what are you doing?
Stop it.
You look really good with your hair like this. Take a look.
You look more approachable, and won't make the other person feel tense.
This sensation and these movements,
Yamamoto, could it be that you have already come out of the closet?
This is for Tuesday.
- And this is Wednesday's.\- Sir!
My apologies!
I'll have all of these.
No, no!
You should be refreshing as a salesman. Cleanliness is very important.
Another important thing for a salesman is to talk slowly with a smile.
But won't people think I'm looking down on them if I speak slowly?
Definitely not. I guarantee it.
Everyone will be thinking, "This person understands our viewpoint."
Understand the other person?
- Just like this! - Wh...wh... what craziness are you up to?
You startled me.
- Thank you for your patronage. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Say, you seem like just a layman. Why do you know so much about sales?
I used to work in a company with many rules and regulations.
Used to? Then what about now?
- I'm a NEETer. - No way, you don't have a job? T/N: Not in Education, Employment or Training.
I make do with some day labour.
You're not preparing to apply for a proper job?
I won't die if I don't become a proper member of society.
You really are a strange person.
Good morning.
Good morning. You're early.
Your tie looks different from usual today.
- Does it look weird? - No, it suits you.
That's a relief.
No matter what, I must close the deal today.
- Kotani Confectionery? - Yes.
It would be great if you manage to close the deal.
You've already been a sales agent for a year and a half right?
Yes.
And this is your biggest business deal to date.
Yes, but it cannot be compared to the deals that Igarashi-san has closed.
Not at all. Who knows, maybe this is the starting point of your future.
Yes.
Aoyama-kun has changed recently.
- Yes? - You're in better spirits now, and you smile more often.
- Someone reminded me about it. - Your girlfriend?
No, it's a guy.
But he's a little bit strange.
- Just ask me if you have any questions. - Thank you.
Then, I have a question to ask.
How are you always able to get a contract signed?
Perhaps it's because I always make sure to stay motivated.
Stay motivated?
What about you?
How do you plan to do it?
Me? That's right.
I want to understand the other party, and be considerate to them. That's what I think.
Let's do our best.
Yes.
Excuse me, can you please help to contact Mr Sakurai from the sales department?
Noda-san!
I apologise for disturbing you when you are so busy.
I brought our company's newly issued sample posters today.
- So many? - Yes.
But I never said I would sign a contract with your company.
Even though the designers were very patient,
but I still implored of them to come out with 4 proposals first.
Then let's go there and talk about it.
You are willing to give me this chance?
I wanted to drink some coffee anyway.
Thank you, sir!
Really? That's just perfect. Amazing!
The person-in-charge, Noda-san, told me that my enthusiasm and earnestness moved him.
That's great.
Lately, he's even confided in me about some personal matters of his.
He had a child last month.
If it continues like this, everything will definitely go well.
Yamamoto.
Thank you for everything.
What for?
If you hadn't given me all of those suggestions, I wouldn't have been able to close this deal.
What are you saying? This is all because of your abilities.
If you hadn't accosted me that day...
Speaking of, you are not a simple man at all.
Who would have recognised someone they haven't even seen since 3rd year of elementary school?
Excuse me for a minute.
Yes, Iwai? Thank you for last time.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
I managed to find a way to contact Yamamoto.
- I don't need that... - Yamamoto is now in New York.
Said he was a director in a theatre.
Amazing isn't it?
But now he has come back to Japan, right?
No. He hasn't come back.
Just take a look at Facebook.
I got it.
Thank you.
Aoyama, what is it?
What were you doing?
What's this?
What tantrum are you throwing, with that long face?
You want to change tables?
My 3rd-year elementary school classmate is now in New York.
- Is that so? - What "is that so"?
You're not my classmate, are you?
You found out.
At first I thought you were my classmate, but then I realised I got the wrong person.
When did you find out?
Wasn't there a time when we were talking about teachers?
Mura-sensei?
I didn't think my teacher was called that.
Really? Then didn't you know from the beginning?
I guess so.
You're not tricking me, are you?
Making me trust in you like a friend, and then selling me something?
Are you stupid?
I was having so much fun, how could I have brought it up?
Is your surname really Yamamoto?
- What's your first name? - Jun.
If you still don't believe me, take a look for yourself.
It's true. But there seems...
The style's different from now, isn't it?
This photo is from that time when I was still in sales that I told you before.
Is that so?
Even though it was a misunderstanding in the beginning,
but we became friends.
Or is it that if I'm not your classmate, Aoyama, you wouldn't consider me a friend anymore?
Then I'll introduce myself once again.
My name is Yamamoto Jun.
My name is Aoyama Takashi.
Then now there are no more secrets between us.
Then can I ask you something?
Yamamoto,
are you gay?
Are you stupid? I don't have that inclination at all.
Don't you worry...
Takashi.
Then let's drink to our becoming on good terms again.
After our discussions these few days, we have come up with a draft.
Make all the words bigger so that it can be immediately understood.
- That's not bad.\- Is it okay?
- Can you pick a brighter hue for the colours? - Of course.
Understood. Then next time we will use the specified paper material.
- And bring over the printed final results next time. - I entrust this to you.
Yes.
- When will be our next meeting? - Please excuse me.
- We can probably get it done if you give us 3 days. - Can you do it within 2 days?
- Then we'll get it done in 2 days. - This is Aoyama. You have worked hard.
Aoyama-kun, come back quickly. Kotani Confectionery has complained about you.
Igarashi-san, the complaint you were talking about?
It seems like the final product's material is not what was agreed upon before.
Noda-san is very angry.
Nothing went wrong with the order form, did it?
There should be no mistakes. I checked it many times.
Maybe it's the factory's mistake?
It happens sometimes. I have encountered it before.
That can't be right.
I filled in the wrong thing in the order form.
Why?
Why would there be a mistake?
Aoyama-kun, pull yourself together. Anyway, let's go.
- But this has nothing to do with you. - I was the one who answered the phone.
And I am the person who is the most clear on the causes.
I'm sorry.
I am very sorry!
It was unusual that I would entrust this to you.
You have disappointed me.
- Noda-san... - Aoyama-kun!
I'll go talk to Noda-san. You just wait here.
- But this is my fault. - It's okay.
I'll figure something out.
I'll figure something out.
First you owed someone a debt, then made other people suffer a loss.
You even made Igarashi clean up your mess.
What are you even doing at the company?
I am very sorry.
And I thought you could finally take on a big deal.
Forget about your job performance, you even have to compensate for the loss!
You are really just a piece of trash!
Isn't that so?
- Igarashi, come here. - Yes.
Please excuse me.
I don't care that you helped that piece of trash to sort out this mess.
You have only completed 85% of the job requirement, right?
I'm sorry.
You are the business' trump card. You are in an awkward position aren't you?
How do you expect me to show my face?
There won't be any problems.
I will definitely make up for it by this month's closing.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm relying on you.
Damn it!
I arranged to have a meal with a client.
It's all your fault! I'm going to be late.
Thank you for your hard work!
Aoyama-kun, that's enough for today. Just go back home.
But...
Please listen to your senior.
Yes.
Igarashi-san, I am really sorry.
I will go back first.
You've worked hard.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tomorrow I have to take first bus to work.
First thing in the morning tomorrow I have to apologise to Noda-san again.
And apologise to Igarashi-san as well.
I have to sleep soon.
I want to sleep.
Once I'm asleep, I don't have to worry anymore.
I really want to sleep.
Stop thinking so much. Stop thinking so much.
It's alright. It's alright. It's alright.
Okay.
Where are you going?
- I'm going to hand the amended contract to Kotani Confectionery. - Who let you go?
The Kotani Confectionery deal has been transferred to Igarashi to follow-up.
What?
What do you mean "What"? Doesn't this go without saying?
Hand the contract over to Igarashi. Quickly!
Yes, sir!
- I'm counting on you, Igarashi. - Yes, sir.
I'm sorry. I entrust this to you.
- Then I'll go do some field-work. - Like I said!
Any business transaction you're involved in will only cause trouble for the company.
Here, look.
I seldom see everyone coming to work so assiduously.
Because of you, everyone's work-drive is far from what it was before!
Isn't that so, Taguchi? My bad.
Does it feel good?
Apologise right now!
Apologise to everyone present here!
I'm sorry.
Hey,
if you really felt that you were in the wrong,
you would be kneeling on the floor, wouldn't you?
That's called sincerity!
Mr Yamakami! Aoyama-kun already blames himself.
Igarashi.
- Igarashi. - Yes, sir.
I don't care if you look after your junior.
Just go to Kotani Confectionery and sort out this piece of trash's mess.
- I am sorry. - What?
- I am very sorry! - What?
Who can hear you if you're whispering?
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
Say it again.
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
Again!
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
Go on.
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
Go on...
Wait a minute.
Who said you could stop?
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
I'm sorry. I am very sorry!
- I'm sorry. - Aoyama-kun.
- I am very sorry! - Aoyama-kun!
- I'm sorry. - Mr Yamakami is not here anymore.
- Please lift up your head. - I am very sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
- Aren't you being too much, Takashi? - Takashi.
What's going on with you? Once you find out who I really am, you don't answer my calls or emails.
- That's too cold of you. - Sorry.
I was so lonely I could cry.
- Let's go. - Wait, today is...
- What is it? - I don't feel like drinking today.
- What? You didn't say so earlier. - That's why today...
I got it!
If it's this restaurant, we don't need to drink but can just have a good chat.
Have some draft beer. No? Or you want coffee?
There are so many types, look!
The pasta looks delicious! So does the pizza.
Carbonara. Gorgonzola pasta.
Gorgonzola pizza. Gorgonzola penne. Gorgonzola gnocchi!
Hey, Takashi, which Gorgonzola do you want?
Anything's fine.
Is that so?
What's garlic roast beef?
Let's have some fries.
I still want to drink some beer.
Have a drink then. I'll pass.
Why are you not drinking today?
I just don't want to.
And I feel like I don't have the right to drink.
Why?
- Excuse me, 2 draft beers please. - Yes!
- I said I won't... - Takashi.
What happened?
So you're saying that it's really your fault?
Yes. My order form had a mistake.
But didn't you say you checked it the previous day?
Did you check it before you sent it?
If I had, this wouldn't have happened.
Could someone have changed the details on the form?
Who would have done it? Why would he do it?
Takashi.
Is there anyone who would gain something from this mistake?
- No one. The company suffered great losses. - Who's the one handling this contract now?
Let alone gaining anything, after helping me she was even reprimanded by the department head.
I understand.
Sorry.
I'm sorry for making wild assumptions.
It's fine.
Thank you for worrying about me.
What's wrong?
I felt a gust of cold wind.
Do you have a cold?
No... I'm fine.
Takashi.
Have you been sleeping well lately?
So-so.
What about meals?
Do you eat your lunch on time?
Yes, on the rooftop.
The rooftop? Why are you eating on the rooftop?
No real reason.
Takashi.
Don't you think you should change your job?
Just look at J league,
the moment they change clubs, they had splendid players all over the place.
It's important to have compatibility with the coach.
Because you are like this now, you might not understand my difficulties.
In this age, it's not easy working as a regular employee.
Why are you so concerned about that?
Thinking about having to support the family when I'm married with kids,
being a regular employee would definitely be better.
You don't even have a girlfriend now, but you're worrying about all this.
Anyway, it's not so easy to quit a job.
Not as easy as what?
What?
To you, is there anything more easy to do than quitting a job?
Even if you say that...
To you, quitting a job or killing yourself,
which one is easier?
- I never thought of killing myself. - Weren't you thinking of killing yourself?
- I didn't. - You did.
On that day when we first met.
Weren't you thinking of falling onto the tracks to kill yourself?
- That's because I stumbled... - It wasn't.
I saw you at the ticket gate.
And then I kept on watching you from behind.
Why did you do that?
Because I knew
a person who had the same expression on his face as you.
- I'll take my leave. - Have a good day.
Have a good day.
Aoyama-kun, your tie has gone back to your previous low-profile look.
Slowly, everything returned to the way it was before.
And I was no longer so arrogant.
Carefully, carefully.
As long as I do not become a bother to anyone else,
then can I have a peaceful weekend.
Then can I hang on for a little while more.
It's fine to have no dreams and no hope.
Brighten the yellow and darken the green a little.
- The client feels that the colour last time was not bright enough. - I understand.
- How about at 2p.m.? - That's fine.
I'm counting on you.
This is Aoyama. I've just left the Nagareyama plant. I'm on my way back.
What's with that downcast expression?
Is that the Yamamoto I know?
Come to think of it, I don't know anything about Yamamoto.
Excuse me, what stops will this bus make along the way?
It doesn't. This is a shuttle bus to the cemetery.
- Where do you want to go? The regular buses are over that way... - It's okay. I'll take this one.
[Yamamoto Jun]
What is this?
What is this?
Death Anniversary 3 years ago today, Yamamoto Jun passed away. Thinking about Jun who ended his own life hurts a lot.
During the early hours of 6th August, Miyata Food Company employee, Yamamoto Jun (aged 20)'s body was discovered in front of the company.
Yamamoto Jun was believed to have jumped to his death from the company's rooftop. People around him have confirmed that he was stressed from overwork due to long hours and abuse of authority. However, the company has denied any causal relationship. 山本さんは同社ビル屋上飛からび降り自殺したものとみられ、長時間労働による過労とパワハラによるストレスを抱えていた、という周囲の征言もある。しかし会社側はー切の因果関係を否定している。
That can't be true.
Did Yamamoto come to my side as a spirit in order to stop me from killing myself?
Good morning.
What? Where did you come in from?
The emergency exit. I was on the rooftop.
- I'm sorry, did I do something wrong again? - Not at all.
I just wanted to look at the Kotani's data. Sorry for using your computer without permission.
- My bad. Is there anything you want me to do? I can do it. - It's fine. It's already done.
- If there's something I can do... - I said it's fine!
Aoyama-kun, Mr Yamakami has already said that you don't need to be involved in this anymore.
He will definitely get mad if he finds out about this.
By the way,
he also wanted you to delete all the data on Kotani Confectionery from your computer.
Can you transfer all of it into here?
Yes.
Hey, Takashi!
Must you go that far? Why are you so scared?
We meet again. Do you have some time?
- Let's go have a drink. - My bad, I have something on today.
Is it because I asked you to quit your job?
- Are you still angry? - It's not that at all.
If I reject him now and make him angry, will he curse me to death?
But if Yamamoto came to this Earth to save me...
- I got it, let's go. - Great!
He has legs.
He plays soccer, and does a <i>Kazu dance</i>.T/N: Miura Kazuyoshi 三浦 知良 or 'King Kazu' is a famous Japanese soccer player.
And even wears a pineapple print shirt...
Does this kind of spirit really exist?
That feels great!
Takashi, if you had joined in, it would be even more fun.
There's no way it can exist.
Then what was with that blog?
- I say, Takashi, - Uh, what is it?
Let's have a takoyaki party together next time.
Come to my house and play!
Well, it's enough if you can come.
I will not let you go back home.
That time when I saw him, he was returning to the cemetery, wasn't he?
Spirits take the public bus?
I bet you won't be able to stop yourself from eating my unparalleled takoyaki.
I have to take a leak.
If that guy really is a spirit,
and he came here to save me,
I should try my best to make him move on, shouldn't I?
Anyway, I'll just keep on working for now.
I don't know how much I can do,
but I should do my best at whatever I can first.
- I am going. - Have a good day.
Igarashi-san, do you have a minute?
- This is the information on Kotani Confectionery... - Why?
- You've handed all the data to me, haven't you?\- Yes.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Come over here.
What is this?
This is the information I collected during the discussions with Noda-san last time.
I think it can be useful.
Here are the plans for sales expansion and other things which were discussed with Noda-san up to the finalisation of the contract.
- I've summarised them all. - I already know all of this!
What is this?
It's all about kids and interests and hobbies.
It's all just the idle chatter during the discussion!
Is this how you are understanding and considerate of others?
I'm sorry.
You can't just close a deal through good relations alone.
I'm sorry.
How do you think this thing would be able to help me?
I'm sorry.
You've already deleted the data, right?
If you're still unsure, you can check it.
Hey you,
wasn't Igarashi the one who fixed up your mess?
Yet you are ungrateful and bad-mouthing her?
Are you trying to say that this was what you were responsible for, you were the one who secured this customer to work with us,
and now someone has snatched it away? Are you trying to take someone else's work?
No, I never had this intention...
My manner of speaking was bad. I really am very grateful towards Igarashi-san.
- That's why I was thinking of whether I could help her. - Don't fuck with me!
Listen up, Igarashi is the one in charge of Kotani Confectionery.
Everything is Igarashi's.
You are just the one who got that initial rubbish contract signed.
All of this started because of your mistake.
So what, you'd even slander your senior who has been so considerate to you? Do you want to get a performance achievement that badly?
No, not at all.
You won't even let a girl off, you're worse than a beast!
Damn you!
Son of a bitch!
Damn you!
You.
Are you trying to snatch away the profits earned by Igarashi and I?
Absolute piece of trash!
That's enough!
Get the fuck back to work!
Igarashi-san.
I'm very sorry. You were misunderstood because of what I said.
I really am very grateful to you. You have taught me so much.
And you've always looked after me, but I kept on causing you trouble.
From this day onward, I'll be more careful.
Igarashi-san.
Igarashi-san!
Go away.
Stupid.
[Yamamoto]
That looks like it feels good.
Yamamoto.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
You had given me so much counsel and advice.
Should I go over?
Don't. Don't come over.
After all, we will be able to meet each other very soon.
What do you mean?
Yamamoto Jun
died 3 years ago.
That's why I want to go to where you are right now.
Let's have a drink over there.
Turn around.
I told you to turn around.
Takashi.
Who do you think people live for?
Who does Aoyama Takashi live for?
- For myself. - Yes, and?
- Is there anyone else? - There is.
Who?
For those people who cherish you.
- But I don't have a girlfriend. - I know.
There are other people, aren't there?
Your family.
How are they doing?
Takashi,
maybe you think that once you die all your troubles will be over.
Would they be able to accept that?
Do you know how painful it is for the older generation to bury the younger?
But I...
have always treated my parents badly.
What did you do?
I left the vegetables my mother sent me to rot.
I've yelled and screamed at her, and...
When I first started high school, my father was laid off.
He had a hard time getting reemployed,
so we could only move to my grandmother's house in Yamanashi.
I didn't want to go to the countryside,
and cursed at him terribly.
Is that so?
"Not being able to get re-employed is because you have no skills"
I scolded my father with the very same words the department head accused me of.
Wasn't I terrible?
That's why they should be feeling that it's fine if this kind of son disappears.
You really were an unfilial son.
- That's why I understand... - You don't understand!
What your father and mother are really thinking,
how would you know if you don't experience it yourself?
Tell me, is there any family
whose parents would not be sad that their son had died before them?
It's almost time to go back.
Let's go back.
How did you know that I was here?
Yamamoto!
What exactly are you?
A spirit.
Really?
Not gonna tell you! What will I do if I get caught because I said that I'm a spirit?
I'm home.
Takashi?
What happened?
Didn't you say you wanted to eat delicious cakes from Tokyo?
Thank you.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
- Later I want to try the grapes dad planted. - I'll pick some for you later.
The 3,000 yen ones.
- Then you should pay for it properly. - I have to pay?
Of course!
You won't even let your own son off?
- You want some wine? Those made this year are not bad. - They're delicious.
I'm fine for now.
- Thanks, dad. - Fine then.
- Are you staying here tonight? - I'll take the last train back. I have to go to work tomorrow.
Go after dinner. I'll send you to the station.
- We'll do it that way then. - What do you want to eat?
Mum's hōtō. (udon noodles and vegetables in miso soup)
It's been long time since I've made that. I will try my best.
Thank you for the cakes. They are delicious.
Look, my belly's so big! I've eaten too many cakes.
Um...
I'm sorry.
What's the matter?
I've always taken your love and care for granted.
What are you saying?
And I've never considered your feelings.
I am very sorry.
If..
Just if,
I said I wanted to quit my job, what will you do?
It's fine, I don't mind.
Because it's not like there's only one company in the whole world.
You can come back to stay at home.
You are still young. It's fine if you fail many times.
That's right, that's right.
Takashi.
As long as people are alive, their lives have limitless possibilities.
That't right.
You see, Takashi,
when we first moved here,
wasn't your father always unable to find a job?
Yes.
Back then, not only was our savings slowly depleting,
we also had to take care of your sick grandmother.
At the most painful time, I was feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Then I told your father,
"Let's all die together!"
But I gave up that notion.
No matter what we felt,
Takashi has his own life to live. That's what we thought.
And then, we wanted to see what kind of man you would grow up into.
Well,
you should call your mother sometimes.
She had always been holding herself back, and only called you when she couldn't help it anymore.
Daddy!
Even when there was nothing to say she would find something to talk about.
Because she only wanted to hear your voice.
Really, Daddy. You're very talkative today.
I will call you.
Yamamoto.
Maybe you're not some kind of spirit,
but a messenger sent from God instead?
[Mr Yamamoto, thank you so much. I'm glad you have made your decision...
...There are many angels waiting for you.]
[Aoyama Takashi: Good Morning! Sorry for the early hour.]
- Sorry for calling you over so early. - No problem. What's up?
I have something I want to tell you.
What is it?
- Thank you so much for everything! - What are you doing? Stop it, it's embarassing.
I'm really grateful to you.
For being my friend.
From that moment you first saw me,
you just kept on thinking of ways to help me.
Um...
I'm sorry for calling you out like this, but could you wait awhile for me here?
I don't mind, but what are you going to do?
I'm just going to quit my job now.
One, two, three, four!
Five, six, seven, eight!
One, two, three, four!
Nine! Boss' orders are God's orders!
Nine! Boss' orders are God's orders!
Ten! Throw away my heart!
Ten! Throw away my heart!
Without a heart that gets discouraged easily, I can tolerate everything!
Without a heart that gets discouraged easily, I can tolerate everything!
Good morning!
You're 15 minutes late.
2000 yen deducted from your pay, idiot.
Mr Yamakami.
I want to quit today.
You...
What rubbish are you spouting so early in the morning?
This is why all the young people nowadays are losers.
Isn't that so? Can't do your job properly, yet you still want to hold on to your pride.
No resolve at all!
- Isn't that so? - Yes.
You don't have a clue what society is!
Someone like you who wants to quit at the slightest sign of trouble, wherever you go, whatever you do, you will accomplish nothing!
You are destined to be a failure for the rest of your life!
I am living for myself, and for the people who care for me.
What? Aren't you just giving up and running away?
Are you trying to fool me?
You're too naive!
Someone like you who thinks that he can easily find another job is very much mistaken!
It's fine if it's not easy.
What?
I was too rash in deciding to join this company.
I wanted an unofficial job offer. Thinking so much until I became confused, I didn't even know what I wanted to do.
And so I muddled my way into this company.
That's why, I know that I have caused everyone a lot of trouble.
I am very sorry.
What are you saying sorry for? Who said you could spout your nonsense over here?
Firstly, our company requires you to submit your resignation one month in advance!
Don't you even know this, you idiot?
Just like this and you want to quit? Then I can only fire you.
That doesn't matter to me.
What?
Three days ago, I was thinking of jumping from this company's rooftop.
However, even if I was like that, from tomorrow onwards my life could still change.
Someone important made me realise this fact.
What?
Right now, I still don't know what I want to do or what I can do.
But from now on I want to always look up at the blue sky and laugh.
I want to live without lying to myself.
Stop talking nonsense, you idiot.
What's with that toothpaste-commercial smile of yours?
And you want to always look up at the sky and smile, is that it?
Do you think relying on that is going to put food on the table?
Mr Yamakami.
I have a final favour to ask of you.
This company has employees who are striving to do their best.
Please treat them well.
Please grant me this favour.
Please.
Thank you for your support.
Stop joking around.
If possible, you could also take a few days of rest.
Fuck you, bastard!
Fuck you!
That hurts!
Fuck!
- It hurts, fuck! - Are you okay?
Hurts. Fuck.
- Aoyama-kun. - Igarashi-san.
Thank you for always taking care of me.
That...
The order form... that you filled in.
I was the one who changed it.
If Aoyama managed to land a big deal, my target would have to go up even higher...
and I can't take it anymore.
Looking at how you were starting to flourish, you would definitely be able to catch up to me soon.
The more I thought about this, the more scared I became. If I didn't change your form,
I will die.
I'm not taking all of this in stride like everyone thinks I do. I want to run away too!
But I don't know where else I can go to other than here. Even if I wanted to change jobs, no place would accept me.
I'm very tired.
I'm sorry.
That time, I don't know why I was so envious of you either.
So you don't have to resign.
That's enough. I was the one always causing you trouble.
Not realising how you felt is also because of my carelessness.
Thank you for telling me the truth.
Igarashi-san, you are the person that I look up to.
Thank you very much.
From that time onwards,
Yamamoto disappeared from my world.
[Twice cooked pork]
[Yamamoto]
<i>The number you have dialled does not exist. Please key in the correct number.</i>
Yamamoto.
What kind of being are you?
Can I no longer meet you anymore?
[Mii's Blog]
[Send a message]
Yamamoto.
[Subject: Nice to meet you Message: Aoyama Takashi]
You were always by my side whenever I had any difficulties, weren't you?
But during the times when we were together,
what were you thinking about?
- Hello! - Hello!
Mii-chan called yesterday night.
She was from here as well.
She was the one who told me
that you might be the one who knew Yamamoto the best, Director.
I did know him very well.
From the first day he came here.
- Hello. - Hello.
And you are this place's...
I'm just the daughter of the previous Director.
That's why they were like two younger brothers to me.
They?
I'm referring to him, and his twin brother, Jun.
His real name is Yamamoto Yuu.
Yamamoto Yuu.
Jun-kun and Yuu-kun came here when they were five.
Because their parents died in a car accident.
No matter what they did, those two boys were always alike.
It really felt like they were born from the same soul.
The same soul.
When they came here,
only Jun-kun could stay beside Yuu-kun.
Yuu-kun wouldn't open up his heart to me or anyone else.
- You mean Yamamoto? - Yes.
But one day Jun-kun showed Yuu-kun this photo album.
Jun said,
"They are also children who have lost their parents,
yet they can laugh so happily."
"So you should laugh with them as well!"
Then surprisingly, Yuu-kun actually laughed out loud.
So Yamamoto got his smile from Jun-kun didn't he?
They told me once before,
"Reiko nee-chan,
our parents named us together in this way so that we can always be pure and gentle children."
This country, Vanuatu,
is a beautiful island that looks like heaven.
Perhaps they thought that as long as they went there
they could return to their parents' embrace once again.
When both of them grow up,
Yuu-kun will become a school teacher
while Jun-kun will go there as a doctor.
That was their dream.
They planned to go to a national university with a scholarship.
But Jun-kun had a cold on the day of the exam.
He caught it from the children he was looking after.
It was a shame, but he couldn't afford to study another year because of it.
Because he could only stay here until he was 18.
So he had to start looking for a job.
But he was optimistic.
"I can work and study at the same time. I'll definitely be able to get into medical school."
"I will do my best so I will be fine."
He was laughing as he said that.
But he couldn't pass the exam the next year either.
The company he was working at was also a so-called "black company" (exploitative, sweatshop-like company).
Around the same time, Yuu-kun was attending university and working part-time.
He also started joining the volunteer group to Vanuatu.
So it was Yamamoto who came here first.
Yes.
The two of them who were always together
started to walk on different paths.
Jun.
Yes?
I'm going to Vanuatu again next month.
Is that so?
Jun, do you want to go with me?
I'm very busy at the company.
I can't just take a long break.
Jun, listen to me.
Vanuatu is a really great place.
There are no orphanages there. Do you know why?
Of course there are orphans who have lost their parents like us over there,
but after that, the whole village will become like their family and start taking care of them.
That's why there is no need for orphanages.
Don't you think it's amazing?
Is that so? That's great.
Jun.
Yes?
Do you want to quit your company? And change your job?
Yuu, I still want to become a doctor and volunteer at Vanuatu.
At that time
when our parents were in surgery at the hospital because of the accident,
I made that decision while I was holding your hand.
I will become a doctor and have the power to help father and mother.
Jun.
Ever since then?
- Why didn't you tell me before... -I couldn't tell you.
Because I was the one who wanted you to laugh like those children.
If you had noticed that I was always immersed in painful memories of the past,
your smile would have disappeared for good.
Because I will go there as well.
I understand.
I'll be waiting for you.
You must definitely come.
Jun is just like his name.
He was too pure and gentle.
Yamamoto as well.
He is pure and gentle as well.
Yes.
That's why when Jun committed suicide, that child blamed himself.
Yuu?
Yuu!
Yuu.
Long time no see! It's me, Yamamoto.
Takashi, don't you think you should change your job?
Long time no see!
It's me, Yamamoto.
Aoyama-kun!
Aoyama-kun!
Takashi?
Takashi!
Hey, Takashi!
Hey, Takashi!
That...
Until a while ago,
I had the same thoughts to commit suicide just like Jun-kun.
But Yamamoto saved me.
However, what he had been thinking about Jun-kun and himself,
he had never mentioned a word of it to me.
That child came to see me half a month ago.
Said he was going to travel.
Travel?
It's been a really long time since that child last came back.
It's the first time since Jun-kun passed away.
At that time, Yuu-kun told me
that he met with someone,
who told him that he decided to live again properly because of him.
Yuu said,
"Reiko nee-chan,
have you ever seen a grown man in a suit, skipping across the street while wielding a bag?"
That child was really laughing with joy.
- But he said that there was something he forgot to tell that man. - What is it?
"Thank you".
Why? I'm the one who should say thank you.
Thank you.
That child is waiting for you.
He told me to pass this to you when you came here.
Look at the back.
[My Angels. Wouldn't it be wonderful to laugh together with them?]
Hey, Teacher Yuu.
What would happen if people lose hope?
Hope doesn't disappear.
It just becomes invisible sometimes.
Is this place heaven?
This place is...
This place is the entrance to the Country of Hope.
Yamamoto, I also believe
that there will be many painful things if I live,
but there will always be hope around somewhere.
If there's no hope, then go find it.
If you can't find it then you can make it.
And if even that little bit of hope is lost,
you can start over from the beginning.
Yamamoto, this is the only way for people to move forward, isn't it?
This is how you have always been living, isn't it?
Does everyone understand?
- Sir Yuu. - What is it?
I want to become a teacher just like you.
You want to become a teacher?
Is that so? That's wonderful!
Me too!
So are these children your angels?
That's right. These children are my angels.
Takashi, you came.
Teacher Yuu, who is this?
My good friend.
Yamamoto.
Can I be the one to help you this time?
Start by becoming a volunteer teacher.
What's your name?
You name.
My name is Aoyama Takashi. I'm from Japan.
I am 24 years old this year.
You have to learn some tenses first.
Is that so? Please teach me.
Why don't you start working now?
- But what should I do? - It's very simple.
Let's play tag.
Takashi's it, everyone run!
Takashi's it. That's your first job!
Jun.
