SPRING 1996
Coming.
Coming!
Good morning.
Good morning.
-Asakura. -What?
The Kohei Asakura who lives here.
May I ask who you are?
Excuse me…
If you're looking for Asakura, he packed his things and left.
What? He left?
Where did he go?
I don't know.
My wedding is today.
At 10 a.m.
He was supposed to come at 8 a.m.
But it's almost 9:30 a.m. and he still hasn't come.
Does he expect me to get married alone or something?
That's ridiculous! Why should I get married alone?
What is he thinking?
Asakura is not a morning person.
-Oh. -I can't believe this.
That's why he wanted to change the wedding to the afternoon.
He's sleeping. I'm sure of it! He must be! He's sleeping!
Not here…
Why?
I don't know.
All our relatives have gathered.
My family,
from the countryside, and my parents too.
It's at 10 a.m. That means I only have…
-Only 30 minutes left-- -Hey, can you stay out of this?
-Sorry. -More importantly, where's Asakura?
Where did Asakura go?
I don't know.
We didn't get involved in each other's lives,
so I don't know.
Come on…
This is bad.
The wedding is at 10 a.m.
It's 9:30 a.m. right now, which means…
-I only have 30 minutes. -We've already discussed this.
Right. Also, who are you?
I'm Asakura's roommate, Sena.
But since he packed up all his stuff, I'm not his roommate anymore.
Please don't glare at me like that, I'm not involved.
Then…
What should I do then?
-What should I do? -Well…
There might be clues…
TO MINAMI
Are you Minami?
-How do you know my name? -It's written on the letter…
Hey.
-Oh, I'll leave. -No, wait!
Hey…
Will you please read the beginning?
Actually, I'll read it myself.
Actually… No, I'll…
Actually…
Just read it for me!
If this comes into vision, I might get shocked.
Vision? What?
If I see what's written, idiot!
Right, with your ears, you might end up hearing things.
Just hold on a minute!
Okay.
Well…
-What? He wrote "well" first? -No, I mean…
You've been really arrogant this whole time.
I don't care though, I know it's a tough time for you.
Oh, your hand…
Okay. Here I go.
To my beloved Minami…
I'm sorry, Minami.
He sure starts out with a bang!
There's a bigger bang ahead, please prepare yourself.
Okay.
I've fallen in love with a woman.
She's the type who can't live without me.
You're the type that can live a million years without me.
So I'm going to disappear.
I want you to forget about our marriage, I'm sorry.
-Enough! -That's the end.
-What, already? -Yes.
I'm not a turtle.
What?
A million years…
-Hey, do you have a cigarette? -Sure.
Oh…
What?
You're young.
-No, I'm not… -How old are you?
Twenty-four.
Here's a light.
Use the ashtray.
Yes?
Excuse me, this is Minami.
Of course, it is. Is there anyone else here?
Well…
Yes, well…
I'm coming out of the bathroom.
No, not that…
I was just thinking.
Yes?
In ten minutes,
you can shower, clean up, and look nice.
-So now… -Now, what?
Please marry me.
Give me a break!
Sorry, but let me be blunt.
I think you're in a state of panic and confusion.
Besides,
I can't be a substitute groom.
And a lot of people he knows are there, right?
-Right? -I see…
So, you should go back to the banquet hall and think of what to do for now.
The groom may have even returned.
-That's true. -Right?
That's true…
Sorry, I woke you up.
Uh…
It was about time for me to get up anyway.
-You have to work? -No, the piano…
You play?
Today…
is my piano competition.
A competition…
I’m surprised.
See you.
Oh, hey…
This. You forgot your headdress.
Here.
Thank you.
What about money?
Do you have any?
No.
What about the taxi fare?
The banquet hall is nearby, so I ran.
But people will see you wearing that…
Hold on.
I see…
Here.
Thank you.
-I'll pay you back. -No, that's all right.
See you.
The competition…
The competition.
Do your best.
Yes.
Oh, the bride has returned!
15TH GEISHUIN NEW TALENT MUSIC COMPETITION
COMPETITION VENUE
Not there.
What now? Back to Tokyo?
-We're out of gas. -What?
And money.
Oh, I see.
All right.
Let's have a match.
PACHINKO
This isn't good.
Long time no see.
Hello.
What? You don't recognize me?
The other day. Hello.
-You were wearing that thing. -That's right!
-You looked really different. -Really?
-I'm Minami! -Oh, right, Minami!
What happened to Asakura?
When I got back to the banquet hall, he was there.
-I knew it. -Yes, you knew it.
I'm glad I went back, you were right.
-I told you. -Yes, really.
Seina!
It's "Sena." Stress the "na" part.
-Sena. -I'm Minami.
When I get married, I'll be Minami Asakura.
-What? -You don't know Minami Asakura?
-Oh, from the manga? -Yes, the manga!
From Touch!
What are you doing today?
Oh, you know, my home is nearby…
I'm taking my dog for a walk.
Walking your dog?
Where's the dog?
Yeah, I just lost him,
he must be running around over there.
I wonder if that's Joe? Joe!
-Joe! -What kind of dog?
He's an Akita.
Joe!
Look at how jovial he is!
-Okay, see you. -Yeah.
See you!
See you!
Yes?
Coming.
-Who is it? -Hello.
-You need something? -The taxi fare…
-That's fine, you don't have to. -Look, you only lent it.
This…
Oh, you're eating?
No, I'm about to.
I'm sorry.
-See you. -See you.
What are you doing?
-I need a favor. -What?
-Only favor I'll ever ask of you. -What is it?
Can I move in?
-Who? -Me.
-Where? -Here.
-Why? -Why? Did you ask me why? You did!
You're not saying no, you're asking why. So you'll hear me out right?
-What are you saying, lady? -Minami.
-What? -Not "lady." Minami. Like Minami Haruo.
-Oh, your name. -Right, call me Minami.
Would you please at least listen to my reason?
Oh, that's for me.
-What is it? -My things.
What? Your things?
Hey, your shoes!
So then?
So then, I terminated my apartment lease,
and gave all of my money to Asakura for the wedding.
And then?
And then he ran away and long story short,
I'm broke.
And then?
Then I tried to get my landlord to give me some time,
but he said he has new tenants and threw me out.
And then?
And then I thought about living with my friend,
but she's married, lives in a studio, and there's a man around…
Yes!
Yes!
What should we do with your things?
I'm settling the matter right now!
Settling the matter?
So there was nothing I could do.
I loaded my stuff into the truck,
and as I was thinking about where to go…
And then you walked your dog and came here.
That's about it.
Two people used to live here and there's no sign of a woman…
-Who are you talking about? -No, just saying.
You don't have to give an exaggerated sigh.
A lot of people sighed at me at the wedding.
My grandma and grandpa from the country, my mom cried, and maybe my dad too--
If you have a mother who cries over you, can't you just live with your family?
-Are you from Tokyo? -Yes.
Knew it, city boy.
The countryside is all Village of Eight Gravestones.
When a bride is abandoned by her groom, she's taboo,
hated, has rocks thrown at her, and hung!
I know about that!
That's The Inugami Family?
Wrong!
Isn't it Village of Eight Gravestones? Which has the curse?
-It's the one with Sukekiyo… -Miss!
-What should we do with your things? -Move it here! Third floor!
Excuse me, move it against the wall.
It can just go there.
Yes, that's good like that!
Okay!
You didn't hurt your backs, right? Thanks for your hard work.
-Man, we need a drink now. -Go get those drinks! Thanks, guys!
Thanks for your hard work!
Now then, let's get unpacked…
Listen, this is only temporary.
Oh, yes.
You understand?
Yes, as soon as I find something, either money or a man.
Don't worry.
I'm not interested in younger men. Not even a little bit.
There's no way I would come on to you.
I'm not interested in older women.
How assertive.
It depends on the woman, though.
If she has a mature, feminine charm…
Like Jun Fubuki.
Did I just step on a land mine?
-Oh, sorry. -Don't worry.
A kid wouldn't understand.
YAMAHA MUSIC SCHOOL
Hey, Ryunosuke…
This mark here means the note is sharp, so hit this key…
Not this key.
This one, okay?
Hey big bro, I don't want to hit the black key.
No, I'm not "big bro,"
I'm your "teacher."
I'll play too, so let's try it together.
Ready, and…
-Ouch. -Oh, yes!
You little shit…
-Hey! -I'm telling on you!
You just said it, teacher!
I didn't say anything…
-Mom! -Ryunosuke, were you a good boy?
You know, just now, the teacher called me a little shit.
What?
No, he's just carefree…
He's growing fast and is unique…
I think he'll become a piano prodigy.
Oh, teacher, why you…
Mr. Sena, you have a visitor.
-The next student is here already? -No…
-Oh, hey! -Goodbye!
Sorry, wait downstairs, okay?
I'll be downstairs.
-This is all wrong! -It's no good!
Look, you have to smile more, what are you doing!?
-This is the final take! -They're all idiots.
But I'm glad.
-What? -You found a place to stay.
After all, you can't help it.
You have a boyfriend and all.
But what a disaster, right?
I never thought
that you would have to go through something like that.
Yes, I know…
When your fiancé runs out on you at your wedding,
it really makes you mature.
But I wonder who he ran away with.
You two! How long are you going to stand for? Sit.
Sorry.
Maybe she's a younger woman?
No way! Don't say that.
All right, from the top!
From the top!
Okay!
-Okay then, here we go! -Okay!
Here we go. Ready, and…
-Drink! -Drink!
Drink!
Hey, what are you two doing over there?
Is she good-looking?
Yeah, I guess so.
Man, I'm jealous…
She's not my type.
Not your type? Then why?
Why did you agree to let a girl you barely know, stay?
Well, I felt obligated…
Obligated?
The woman that Asakura ran off with…
-I'm the one who introduced her to him. -You did?
Yes, that's right.
She was a girl who worked here.
She's a graduate of Shirayuri Music Community College.
-What? Yukari? -How did you know?
I was after her…
Excuse me, Mr. Sena. Your student is here.
You should come to college and play now and then.
Mr. Sasaki is worried.
I already graduated.
I flunked graduate school too.
There's no place for me there.
It's uncomfortable.
Ryoko was asking how you were doing.
See you.
Wait, this…
All right!
All right! Go! Go! Go!
-Go! -Go!
Yes!
The man over there said the stamp doesn't matter.
-Really? -Yes.
Okay then.
Let's blow all this money.
-Drink! -Momo…
Yes?
Can we keep this up?
Keep what up?
Being jobless models.
They said it was a summer campaign for beer, so I gave it my all.
But we were just extras.
Oh, Minami, I've been selected for an air conditioner commercial.
-No way! -It's true.
What? Didn't you go to the audition last month?
No.
Oh, wait!
You had to be under 25 for that.
I've been chosen for it.
Good for you!
Yes!
Does it look like I'm forcing a smile?
A little.
You shouldn't touch the piano.
I'm just a freeloader here, okay?
I wish Ayrton would hurry up and come home.
-Ayrton? -The guy you're living with.
Ayrton Senna!
Who's playing the piano…
What?
Oh, welcome home.
Pardon the intrusion.
Oh, this is…
I'm Minami's junior…
Momoko Koishikawa.
Do you play badminton together or something?
What?
Senior and junior?
Of course not!
He thinks we’re in a badminton club!
With pachinko…
Five hundred yen became fifty thousand…
With racing…
Fifty thousand becomes five hundred thousand…
What happens twice…
will happen thrice.
-We'll go back to Tokyo… -And do it all again.
I think I'll get him.
Oh, please. That makes me shiver. Don't say "get."
-How about "supabad" then? -What's that?
It means super bad.
No way! I hate abbreviations, absolutely not!
-What about Toyo-Etsu? -I don't mind him.
-Why? -Because I like him.
But you know, Momo,
aren't you just going to marry into wealth?
He's a bit different from your ideal man.
Of course, I don't think I'm going to marry him.
What?
I mean, from the time you're born to the time you die,
you don't know how many men you'll sleep with, do you?
Minami? Are your panties tight?
This one cuts off my circulation.
How many you'll sleep with?
People wonder how many meals they'll eat before they die.
That's why people don't like to eat bad food.
That's what's normal.
I'm saying the same thing.
No, it's not.
So then, it makes sense,
that when I see a good man, I just want to sleep with him.
Are you really listening to me?
I am.
Are you sure?
I don't know what's going on inside your head.
There are a lot of pink elephants in there.
Pink elephants…
Momoko is lovey-dovey.
We'll move it over there.
Over there.
Do you have time? Weren't you supposed to meet the commercial's sponsor?
-Yes, I still have time. -Let's take it from the bottom.
-It's already five o'clock. -What? No way!
Oh no, I don't have time.
I'm sorry.
"Supabad."
Sorry.
This is done for.
-Are you a model? -What?
Your job.
Well… I guess I kind of am.
-Do you read An An? -What? An An?
Uh-huh.
I don't read those magazines.
It's not like I wanted to become a model or anything,
but in community college--
I placed third in the Miss Japan contest,
and got scouted.
-It seems like I'm bragging. -Well, you are.
This should be fine.
Thank you.
Hey, Sena…
You mentioned a competition. Are you a pianist?
I guess.
Are you really a pianist?
It's the first time I've seen one in person.
They're usually just on TV or in movies. What's it like being one?
I-It's not really all that.
I hold recitals once in a while and stuff,
and practice at school, or at home.
You mean a college?
No, graduate school.
Amazing.
MANKIN CHINESE NOODLES
Where do you have your recitals?
What? Oh, when it's in Tokyo…
The Suntory Hall.
I know that place.
My friend who likes classical music goes there a lot.
I've never been there though.
Amazing.
Well, you're an An An model yourself.
Yeah… That's right.
Thanks.
Today's menu is insalata di mare,
carpaccio di pesce, lasagne al forno,
minestrone, fritto misto, spaghetti alla bolognese,
rigatoni alle melanzane,
ravioli al nasello, bucatini, tortellini, risotto nero.
-All of it. -All of it?
Si!
Tutto.
-Grazie. -You're welcome.
How wonderful.
We have loads of money…
right?
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Well then, time for the long-awaited,
hard-earned,
golden beer.
Oh, thanks.
It's perfect.
What's this?
Wow, this really brings me back.
I got it from one of those 100-yen gacha machines.
Asakura was like a child, you know.
He liked strange stuff.
Here.
He always played with those gacha machines when he got drunk.
We had a whole bunch of these toys.
She left already?
HALF-PRICE SALE!
The An An girl is in this thing?
1,980 yen…
Aren't there any more decent jobs?
I'm always just an extra or in a supermarket flyer.
We do have another flyer for you to do today.
Really?
I don't mind showing a little skin, you know.
I have a swimsuit.
Shall I start going to a tanning salon?
Give me a break.
How old do you think you are?
There aren't jobs like that for you.
Weren't you getting married and retiring?
Oh, Minami!
Are you back from your honeymoon already?
“Weren't you getting married and retiring?”
Yeah.
TRAVAIL
The melody of a 23-year old?
KISSIN, THE MELODY OF A 23-YEAR OLD
Welcome back.
I'm home. A bit late though.
I haven't seen you lately, so I was worried.
Well, the music school you introduced me to,
it has been keeping me quite busy. Thank you again.
Our graduate school lacks full-time staff, you know…
It's not a matter of staffing, but my ability.
I think you're an exceptional pianist. I'm not just flattering you.
Your fingers have a lot of strength, your touch is precise and powerful.
It's just…
You don't put feeling into it.
So my problem is expressiveness?
I've been wondering recently,
if you're just shy.
What?
Well that's…
I feel that you may be afraid of expressing yourself…
or maybe you're embarrassed by…
having other people see your emotions.
Well…
Oh, that's right.
Are the results in from that competition the other day?
No, not yet.
It's not that you get nervous, but…
you build a wall between yourself and the listener.
I've never played for…
someone else's sake.
I love playing the piano itself.
But I've never played
for the sake of someone else's enjoyment.
We're having a midterm recital for the graduate students.
Would you like to come watch the practice?
No.
I'll pass.
All right then.
It's coming from the piano room in the west wing.
-That pianist is… -Ryoko Okusawa, probably.
She's only a second-year student, but she's definitely a young, rising star.
Yes.
Putting aside the critic's lens,
I simply love the way she plays.
It's warm, gentle, and has flavor.
How should I put this…
It's like a warm stew…
after a long journey on a cold day.
-See you. -Oh, yes.
-Sena. -Yes?
Please break down that wall one day.
-Okay. -See you.
"I'm sorry, Minami…"
"I'm sorry…"
All right, I'm home…
Welcome back!
What's going on?
-You didn't have a table. -No, I mean all of this.
They're gifts.
Wedding gifts.
They were heavy and I didn't know if I should bring them,
but they're tasty and fancy.
If you have plans to get married, I'll give you some for free.
No, I don't have any.
Hey, we should drink together, since we don't often get the chance to.
This should do, here.
Let's open this one…
Here.
It's a 1965 vintage…
1965? That's expensive, isn't it?
It's super expensive! But who cares, today is special.
Hey, open it, Pianist.
The wind is at your back, right? Smooth sailing.
You're good-looking, you can play the piano,
and women, they…
Hey, do you have a girl? Tell me!
Gosh, I'm acting like an old man!
You shouldn't drink any more.
It's fine. If I drink all of it, I'll feel better.
This whole bottle?
That, and this, and that, and all of them!
15TH GEISHUIN NEW TALENT MUSIC COMPETITION
Wow, her name is Ryoko…
Are we done yet?
Okusawa…
Ryoko…
-Stop, that's enough okay? -Heart!
-So, are you dating? -No.
What? Is it unrequited love?
-No, it has only just begun with her. -The romance?
It started about a year ago.
I went to college
to play piano.
She was playing, but moved aside so I could play.
-And? -So then she told me…
"Go ahead," and it made me feel something.
It was the way she said it.
What?
Hey, show me.
-What? -I don't get it.
Come on, show me, hurry!
Show me how she said, "Go ahead."
Like I said,
I went to play, but she was already playing and…
"Go ahead." She said it like that.
You idiot! There's no way.
Hey, do it again. I'll be you.
-So I'll be Ryoko? -Yes.
-So… -Yes?
Our eyes met and she said…
"Sorry, go ahead."
-Like that. -I think that made my heart jump.
Show me again.
All right.
Do it again, start from there!
-From this part? -Yes!
No, it's fine, never mind.
"Go ahead." Just two words?
Seriously? She stole your heart with just that?
Is that what I should do?
-Quit talking so much. -"Go ahead…"
You always ramble about what you should wear and everything.
Did I step on another land mine?
No, well, everything you wear suits you.
I made you flinch!
Oh, what a fool, made you look.
Hey, who are you calling?
What?
Hold on.
ROPPONGI
Not there.
It got disconnected.
Hey.
What if it was Ryoko?
No way.
That's right.
You've got a great piano, so play something.
-When someone's here, I don't… -It's fine!
No, sorry.
I'm drunk anyway.
Well, whatever. Did you know?
1965.
That's the year I was born.
Oh, really?
Asakura said we would open this bottle on the night of our wedding.
"This bottle has existed for as long as you have."
That's what he said.
On my 27th birthday,
I had just broken up with a guy and was all alone.
When I was wondering if I was just going to be
alone on my birthday,
at midnight,
Asakura called me.
At midnight?
The second it was my birthday.
He wanted to be the first one to wish me happy birthday.
We started dating after that.
Then I turned 28, 29, and 30.
I had three birthdays,
and each time…
at midnight…
before anyone else…
he would…
wish me a happy birthday.
I thought that would go on forever.
How wonderful.
Sorry for killing the vibe.
Oh, hey.
-What is it? -Hey.
I'll show you something cool.
-Are you ready? -What are you doing?
-I'm going to drop it. -And then?
-That's it. -What's so fun about that?
What? If you throw it right, it will come back.
You're lying.
-It's true! -You're lying.
We're on the third floor--
-Yeah but it will come back. -Lies!
Just watch. I'm not joking.
Ready? Here goes.
What?
Hey!
-Ready? -Yeah.
Here goes.
-See? -No way!
-How? -Told you.
Give it! Let me try.
Should I put some force into it?
-Yes, but straight down. -Here goes.
Grab it!
You did it!
No way! How did you figure this out?
Didn't you do this as a kid?
No, I did not!
If you throw it with all your might, will it go higher?
-I don't know. -Want to try?
But be careful.
Three, two, one…
Go!
That was too much force.
-Don't worry about it. -I'll find it.
-Forget it. -It's important, right?
No, it's not!
It's not important.
Let's drink. Okay?
Time to continue…
How do you…
How do you open this?
Ryoko.
Sena!
EVGENY KISSIN PIANO RECITAL, 1994 KISSIN, THE MELODY OF A 23-YEAR OLD
Suntory Hall…
I hope you can play there someday too.
-No… -I know you can do it.
Well…
That's a faraway dream.
Don't say that.
What are you doing today?
I'm out to buy sheet music.
Franz Liszt's "La Campanella."
I think it's out of my league, but the teacher said I'll be fine.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
-Really? -Of course.
Thank you.
YAMAHA MUSIC SCHOOL
-Good morning, teacher. -Morning.
Well, I have to work now.
Sena!
How did your competition go the other day?
Probably bad.
See you.
-Sena. -What?
I don't think you're meant to just teach at a school like this.
See you.
-Hello. -Hello.
All right.
I'll take attendance.
Today is April…
April 15th.
-All right. Megumi? -Here!
-Sora? -Here!
Yuji isn't here today.
Hello.
Welcome back.
Oh… I think you should lock the door.
Oh, sorry.
You got a phone call.
-What? -A phone call.
-A phone call? Did you answer it? -Yes.
What do you mean by "yes"?
I thought we decided that you wouldn't answer the phone?
And we wouldn't enter the other's room?
Yes. My bath time is from seven to nine, and yours is at ten.
It's like a bathhouse.
Why did you answer the phone?
I just figured I would.
Why would you figure that? I have an answering machine.
Sometimes people don't wait…
-They'll hang up. -What?
-Who? -No one in particular, but…
Okay.
The message.
Tell me what the message was.
It was from Okusawa.
Okusawa?
Ryoko Okusawa.
Ryoko…
I think it's the Ryoko you have a crush on.
And?
She asked if you were home,
so I said you weren't home yet.
And then?
She said, "Never mind," and hung up.
That was the first time she called my home.
-She thought I was your girlfriend? -Probably.
-I'll apologize. -Forget it.
How are you going to explain this situation?
There was another message.
There's more?
The Judges Committee of the Geishuin New Talent Music Competition!
That was a mouthful.
They called,
and said that the competition's result
is unfortunately,
you didn't make it, dot dot dot.
That was all.
It was probably
the competition you entered when I first came here, I'm pretty sure.
Yes, it was.
You were wearing that wedding attire
and stood in front of that door.
That's unfortunate.
Thank you for the messages.
You're welcome.
Hold on a second.
-There's more? -One more.
The music school called.
They said Ryunosuke Sasano's mother called,
and said he won't be attending tomorrow's lesson due to a cold.
That's all.
Thanks.
Not at all.
Hey, you know…
If you lied to me,
don't worry about it.
Lied?
You said you were a pianist who held recitals at the Suntory Hall.
But that music school--
It's none of your business. Leave me alone.
Hey, I told you, don't worry about it.
I asked my friend who likes classical music.
I asked if she knew a pianist named Sena, she said she didn't,
so I thought it was strange.
But I feel kind of relieved.
If you were really a great pianist
and I was around you all the time, I would feel uncomfortable.
Oh, about money!
Don't worry about the rent, I'll start paying half next month.
-Wow, those trophies are amazing! -Don't come in.
I thought you would be depressed, so I'm trying to cheer you up--
I'm not asking you to do that! Don't stick your nose in my business.
I know I shouldn't have answered the phone,
but you don't have to be so uptight.
It can't be helped. You failed.
-Failed what? -The competition.
Just try again.
Well that… They only have it once every four years.
You're just trying to act tough.
You said you're an An An model! You were wearing a 1,980 yen apron.
-You stepped on a land mine. -You too. I hate it when people interfere!
Why do I have to live with a 30-year old whose man ran out on her?
You just pressed the button to the nuclear missile.
I get it.
I'll leave. Okay?
You want me to go, I'll go!
I'll go!
Bye!
She brought over so much stuff…
Born on April 15th, 1965.
April 15th…
Today is her birthday.
I'll come get the rest when you're not home!
At midnight…
before anyone else…
he would…
wish me a happy birthday.
I thought that would go on forever.
Hey!
What?
Why don't you come back?
What's with this now?
You're waiting for Asakura to call, right?
That's none of your business!
I thought you didn't play in front of people.
Birthdays and Christmas are special.
You're waiting for his call?
If I were…
this is it.
But I just wasted the whole day.
It's still April 15th.
Thank you.
3-9-1, 3-9-1, 5…
Hey, it's…
Get it.
-Hurry up, answer it. -Why do I have to?
-You're the one who's waiting! -It's your phone!
Hello?
What? This isn't a date?
Asakura?!
I don't want to end up like you.
You like her, don't you?
Then go to a hotel with her or something!
You got thrown away because you're so insensitive.
