Original subtitles

It seems Mother is bragging about me to every visitor she has.

I'm happy, but honestly...

...if a hole were here, I'd want to crawl into it.

Hey...

I finished the new designs.

Who'd wear clothes like these?

Future

I'll wear them!

Hey, can't you come up with more casual, marketable designs?

You naked prince.

But with Christmas coming, my head's filled with glamour.

Your head has a ball all year.

Um, I have a shoot, so...

Wow, you're popular, Caroline.

Oh, I have an afternoon shoot too.

It's so exasperating.

He gets work just like that.

I went through hoops for this work, and he gets it so easily.

I just hear bragging.

That's not it.

Just be honest and brag.

Say, "This is how cool and capable my boyfriend is."

Nah, not like Tokumori-kun.

Whoa...

What is this?

He's super good-looking.

Is this your boyfriend?

Yes.

Sorry, but I seriously hate you.

You must be heartbroken.

Want to cry on my bosom?

What are you saying?

There's no way Tokumori-kun would fall for someone like me.

I see.

Merry Christmas!

This looks yummy.

That's Isabella for you.

Okay! I'm stuffing myself today!

Eating too much isn't good for you!

Then a drink?

You know, you shouldn't, Arashi.

Wow, it's snowing.

Is it okay to stay out late today?

I said I might get back late from a party with friends today.

It seems Mother's proud of me lately and been in a good mood.

Wow.

It's embarrassing.

Really?

It makes me feel good when my loved one gets praised.

George, someone's here.

George...

Who could be here so late?

George...

George...

Who are you?

Sorry, I...

Pardon me. What do you want?

Yukari...

No, you're mistaken! Don't misunderstand.

Ringing so many times...

What are you thinking?

Who is this girl?

Not your concern.

George!

Sorry, Kaori.

No, I... Um...

Kaori?

Anyway, tell her she's got the wrong idea!

Don't worry. Come in.

No, another time.

Oh, it's been a while since you stayed over.

Let's get it on.

George!

No, I've never stayed over.

Not even once, okay?

I just don't get it.

You just have to become a pro designer.

You have the talent.

My e-mail, huh?

Did you answer Kisaragi-sensei already?

He's working in Milan.

I see...

Good thing I rushed over here.

I'm stopping this.

What a busybody.

Yukari-chan, don't be so quiet. Help me convince him!

You love his talent too, right?

He's just a naked prince if you take clothes away from him!

I won't stop making clothes.

I'm selling to my modeling contacts.

And I've got requests for photo shoots.

Then you rethought it?

I'll be a designer on the side.

It won't be my main job.

What?

What do you mean?

We had a Christmas party today.

They were pumped, so I wanted to say it later.

George...

They'll be disappointed.

You're dissolving ParaKiss.

Why?

I'll work for Seiji-san after I graduate.

And I'm totally against it.

With better-than-apprentice pay...

and he'll help me go independent.

George...

You'll be a hair and makeup artist for life then.

I just can't reconcile making clothes with business.

I make clothes I want to.

That's fine.

I'd be fine alone...

...but my mother's a weak person who wouldn't be.

So I can't choose a shaky path.

If something happens to my old man, we'd become homeless.

Sorry you came so far, but it's after much agonizing.

I understand, but...

I can't understand.

George was always smiling and relaxed in front of me...

Why?

Why didn't you tell me anything?

I'll come again.

There's no talking to you now...

...and I'm definitely intruding.

Maybe you'd better go home too.

I told you before.

Kaori's a precious friend.

Couldn't you be more polite?

I don't mind if you doubt me, but I'll say this for Kaori's honor.

I've never slept with her.

Kaori's not that sort of woman.

Note: Hiro-kun, good luck with exams. I still carry the magic medicine.

Sending e-mail

Cancel

Note: From Miwako: Merry Christmas! The magic medicine doesn't work that well. I don't want to grow up. It makes me sad.

Note: Thanks, you too. That med school has a famous psych professor. I'll cure your chronic illness, so don't worry. I know you hate hospitals, but will you come to me for counseling?

Aw, damn it! I gotta pee!

No! Don't read my e-mails!

You were sneaking around.

Give it back!

If you don't want people reading it, delete it!

I told you, there's nothing between me and Hiro-kun.

I know that!

He's a mature guy, unlike me...

...so he'd never do something like take you by force!

Koizumi-kun! Your design sketches are flying everywhere!

Hamada-sensei...

Coming to school during winter break?

Since you have time, let's go out.

I came in because I'm busy!

Here's all I could find, so make sure they're all there.

You didn't have to.

No one would wear these.

If it's trash, put it in a trash can!

Yes, ma'am.

Turning pro will crush Koizumi-kun.

Making clothes is his way of escaping harsh reality...

...so if it's restricted, he'll end up on a bad trip.

He probably couldn't maintain his psychological balance.

Koizumi Jouji!

Being a fashion designer doesn't just mean ready-to-wear clothes!

You're only 18! How can you be so defensive about life?

All my designs were there.

Thank you, Hamada-sensei.

Raise your voice...

Go ahead and cry...

A kiss for you...

A Paradise Kiss...

I can't put it into words...

Because you're so terribly pure...

I can't put it into words...

Everyone's too kind...

I can't put it into words...

I'm in a terribly precarious place...

And the reason I can't put it into words...

...is because you're so...

...innocent...

What a nice song.

When did you get here?

Oh, boy...

Miwako...

Did you buy that cell?

How much was it?

I don't have much now, but I'll pay the rest soon.

It's okay. It's my fault for e-mailing Hiro-kun.

Even I know in my mind...

What I should do... What I should say to you...

But I'm sorry.

Hey, Miwako!

We sold one.

Hey, Arashi! One of the consigned outfits sold!

I just got a call from the shop.

We sold one, Isabella! We sold one!

You're finally here.

You're as lax with time as ever.

It's easy to call me here, but I've got my own commitments.

I'll have your meal brought out.

Oh, and another hot sake.

Yes, sir.

Your girlfriend came by yesterday.

Yukari? Why?

No, her name was Kaori-chan.

Oh, Kaori. That busybody...

Oh, she's not your girlfriend. I should've made a pass then.

What did she want with you?

She wanted me to give you freedom.

To ensure your mother's livelihood...

...so you're sure to reach success and your dream.

She told me this on her hands and knees.

That girl...

You have some good friends.

So is Yukari-chan pretty?

You could say that.

Make sure to call me next time you're in Japan.

I'll come get you.

You love me that much?

Sure, I love you.

You know...

Saying that when you have a girl is why it never lasts.

Note: Narita Airport

There's a guy too...

You'll definitely go to hell if you keep this up.

I won't mind.

I can sew dresses out of mats made of thorns.

Let's see the sunrise after our first shrine visit.

I know a great place.

Happy New Year!

I hope you'll put up with my stupid son for another year.

H-N-Y!

You're late! The new year's already here.

Happy New Year, Miwako.

So where to? Somewhere big?

We're all going?

I wanted to go alone with you...

...but Arashi kept on bugging me about going together.

Arashi!

Arashi, congratulations. You've grown up a bit.

Let's work on it.

W-W-What?

It's fine.

Yeah? What's up with you?

Arashi!

What now?

Wow... It's really beautiful.

You're more beautiful.

Thank you.

I'm going to Paris after I graduate.

I'll join an haute couture fashion house for experience.

But your family situation and makeup work...

My old man said to go do what I want to do.

I see...

But you can't join a fashion house just by going to Paris.

It'll work out.

Isn't that thinking too optimistic?

You think so?

You won't get anywhere if you don't believe your own potential.

It'll work out somehow.

Is parting sad?

I'll be lonely without you.

Want to come?

I won't go.

I just started doing modeling, and I want to go to college too.

Because...

That's the right choice.

I failed to get in, and Tokumori-kun got his top med school pick.

He's apparently aspiring to become a psychologist.

Bonjour, mademoiselle.

Caroline, ca va?

Comment allez-vous?

Huh? You had your graduation too?

Oui!

We'll celebrate our graduation.

And a farewell party for George.

Come, help me make the feast.

Okay!

If you're not going to college, why not go with George to Paris?

Caroline...

I suppose it's futile.

You have your own life, after all.

I want to go one job at a time.

You'll be a big brand's pattern maker, right?

Wow...

She looked super cool with a men's suit in the interview.

I wish I could've seen you.

In the end, only one consigned piece sold...

...and ParaKiss was dissolved upon graduation.

I want to make a living off the band, but it's tough.

I'll keep playing for BABYS while working at an alumnus's studio.

I'll work hard at Happy Berry.

You've got connections.

What's wrong with that?

You've always been influenced by Mikako-san...

...so you know Happy Berry best of all.

I bet she hopes you'll be helpful.

I can be helpful to Sis?

I've no doubt you can become Mikako-san's right-hand woman.

I better work hard too.

I have a commercial shoot tomorrow.

Awesome!

To everyone's future.

Cheers!

Good luck with the shoot.

Sorry, I can't see you off.

You booked it on purpose, didn't you?

Be well.

You too.

The stiff passenger's seat...

The near-suffocating cologne...

The hot body heat...

The cold fingertips...

The intense gaze...

The sweet and low voice that calls out my name...

I don't care which one.

Just leave one with me, George.

I've got a credit card.

But it'll be safer to have some local currency.

Here.

Thank you, Mother.

Cut!

Let's do a take!

Right.

I guess he's really gone.

Note: George is on his way. Isabella didn't see him off. They're childhood friends. It's hard to say goodbye.

Yukari, there was a package for you.

Note: Name: George Koizumi

It's really okay?

Yeah.

But they're precious outfits that hold memories for you, right?

That's why I want you to wear them.

Why are you on this ship?

Abandoning all and living for love is a woman's happiness.

You can't live on love.

What'll you do now?

What else?

I'll make your dress patterns.

Next month, I'm getting married.

Sis, your boyfriend's here.

Wait, that's your ex-boyfriend's outfit.

You sure about this?

Oh, be quiet.

It's fine. It suits me best.

Yeah, yeah.

For our honeymoon, we'll be going to America.

There's a popular Broadway musical right now...

...and I got two invitations.

The costume designs are by George Koizumi.

I'm told it's a comedy...

...but I will surely cry.
