Excuse me, assistant editor Yokokawa-san...?

Sadako-san, the newbie is here. Excuse me, assistant editor Yokokawa-san...?

Sadako-san, the newbie is here.

Yeah, go with him.

- Go to Roppongi right away. - Eh?

He is the target.

The cameraman is already there, so ask him about the rest.

- Right now? - You can take a taxi.

Welcome.

- Is this free? - Sit down, please.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are those I cup or J cup?

- L cup. - L...

'Till later.

But your home-run today was superb!

Shaddap already!

32 home-runs in a row!

Here comes my major league!

Wanna see? Wanna?

Excuse me, Suyama-san, right?

I was told to meet you here.

- Is this your friend? - It's a private party.

I don't know her.

- Is this supposed to be an interview? - I don't really know, myself.

Like, if you could comment... or maybe, what's your favorite food?

- If you could anwse... - Damn, speak clearly.

Who the hell are you, anyway?

Who the hell told you to come here? The fuck is the name of that magazine?!

Wait, you fucker!

- Who the hell was that kid? - Right? Who could it be?

- I'll kill her the next time I see her. - What was with her...?

- I'll contact our PR. - I'm going home.

- Seriously?! - Damn serious! (Lit. it's play on words referring to a drama "Majisuka gakuen")

- Let's do one more club. - Shaddap!

Hey, Sadako. Sadako!

Where is she?

Where is Sadako?

Assistant Editor. I'm asking you where Yokokawa is.

Oi, Sadako.

What were you thinking, sending this amateur to the scene?

- I-It's been awhile... - Ah, yeah, yeah, it's be...

Keep it shut, shut.

It's been awhile!

While, awhile!

Welcome back!

You know, right? It's proofreading day; we're busy!

- So, did you take it? - No way I could, was there?

Anyway, what with that Cari pan... pan...

- You can't say it. - I had it, but she ruined everything!

Here, I come to work for you once in a while, and this happens.

You know full well I always work alone. Why send her there?

- No smoking. - Huh?

- Ain't you smoking? - It's electric.

There isn't a room here that you can smoke anymore.

Like I care.

Pay me for the info that went down the drain.

50 thousand, fork it over.

I'm going to assign her to you.

- Huh? - You've got be as fast as possible on the scene, right?

Why does a freelancer like me have to train a rookie for you?

You know that sales aren't as good as they were.

Well, everyone has that, though.

But, we still have to train our writers.

If we leave things like this, we're going to become a gravure magazine.

Ah, no can do. It's what they call going with the flow of the times.

What's this?

Whoa~ nice tits!

This Yamachi Mari sure does have nice titties.

- It also means that there won't be any money in for you. - If you go down,

- all I have to do is to go someplace else.

If it's shooting gravure or shooting someone's panties, it's alright with me, I'll do it.

Anyway, why do I have to team up with that rookie?

- She's a virgin, you know. - That doesn't matter, does it?

- Anyway, no way she is. - She is!

The ones that dress like her are mostly virgins!

True, she's different from the bimbos you hang out with.

Yeah, completely different. Hooray for the bimbos.

Then, a bet? 10, 000 whether she's a virgin or not, huh?

- Alright, anyhow just do it. - Me?

No way that I could. He's not getting up for her, no way.

I bet her pants are so lame, full of animals and so.

- For me is, here, look... - The job!

- I'm talking about taking her in. - I told you I don't work with anyone!

You know, I just sell my pictures where there's the highest pay. That's just it.

300, 000.

For every piece, we'll pay 300, 000.

Of course, this can't be just any picture.

You've still got some debts left, right?

On the condition that you'll work exclusively for us and take her to learn the job.

- Good work. - Yeah, g'work.

Namekawa Nobi, you don't have to come to work for a while.

- I'm fired? - No, you'll be joining him as a cameraman/writer duo.

You won't find any material sitting here, right?

You're getting the worst part of that deal.

Miyakonojō Shizuka.

He used to be our ace photographer, but now he's just a middle-aged paparazzo.

Excuse me...

It's a Benz, right?

- It's great, paparazzi sure earn... - Second-hand.

- But, wouldn't it be better to clean up a litt... - You know,

I don't ride virgins or new cars.

Er... where are we going?

Who knows.

- "Who knows"? Don't you have any info? - I don't have any.

- Then what're you doing? - Searching!

Ebisu, Nakame, Daikayama-- those are the places where you're sure to catch some celebrities.

3159

Hasegawa Masumi... eh, that actress? How did you know?

Because celebrity aura is coming from their cars.

M-Masumi-chan!?

Is this enough to make an article?

No way it could! She just had dinner with her stylist or hairdresser or something like that.

- But aren't there those pictures showing celebrities away from their job...? - You know

I don't go after anything that isn't big material.

- Anyhow, what are you waiting for? - Who knows.

- "Who knows"-- You're telling me we're waiting here for nothing? - You don't shut up.

In this type of job, 99% of the time, nothing happens. We just pass the time waiting like this.

- It's midnight... - We earn our share when normal people sleep in their homes!

I didn't eat supper.

Can I? Thank you very much!

I didn't think I'd be here this late. Thank you.

Which do you wanna bet 10,000 on? It gives you a stomachache, or you throw it up?

Eh? What?

It's been here since last week.

You're really the worst!

Anyway,

why did you join this company?

It's not "Huh?"

Let me hear it to kill some time, though it'll probably be shit boring.

Originally,

I really loved fashion and western clothes,

so I wanted to work in a fashion magazine.

Truth is, I wanted to get into NYLON or GINZA, but I didn't make it.

When I got into the company, there wasn't a place except the section for wives. So I stayed there for half a year, but it wasn't fun at all...

Then all of a sudden, I was told to move to Scoop!

- You aren't interested in this, at all! - You sure are shit boring!

Genki-kun!?

Eh, Shuu-kun is there, too!

Wow, I'm a super fan!

So cool!

They sure are good friends.

Has someone come?

Eh! Ruirui?

That was Ruirui from Happy Cane, right?

Super cute! I think I saw the other two, as well.

Let's go.

Wallet! Give me your wallet!

Wait...eh?

Seat in the back. I already talked with the owner.

- Thank you. - It's alright.

- Stop it, Shizuka-chan. - Just take it!

- Don't treat me like that. - Just take it!

Alright?

Huh... who are you, lady?

I got a rookie to look after.

That ain't like you!

C'ya, Chara!

- Shouldn't we write a receipt? - No way we could get it back from the company.

Wait... what are you doing?

Pretending to be a couple!

- They can sense us a mile away. - What's with this...?

Come, come, come!

Sit here.

- Welcome! Your order? - Two beers.

Bag. Give me the bag!

Yes.

- Here you are. - Thanks!

You really do use those.

You get it like this?

- It's too dangerous, hey. - Shut up!

Ah, Genki-kun, please stop...

Please give me back my youth...

They might look like brats, but they're just like any other people entering society.

It's normal for them to go to mixers with people from their workplace, and go wild.

Well, that may be true...

Alright.

What the hell! It's too weak to use...

Just take her home or get drooly over one another, or I won't get anywhere with these photos...

Please spare me this...

Anyhow, this job really is the worst....

Shit!

What's with this?

Phone. Fork over your phone.

Wait...

There's only one chance. Open the curtain and press the shutter.

- Me? - Run after you take it.

- No way, no way, no way! - I'll bring the car to the back entrance.

Good luck on your first pitch!

Eh? Wait!

- Yes? - I'm ready, take it!

- But I... - Just take it!

I'm sorry.

Hey! Wait!

Catch her, she photographed me!

Oh, get in. I said get in!

Oi! This shit isn't moving!

What the hell is this? You're horrible! It's completely blurred!

I'm not a cameraman, I'm a writer.

Anyway, how could I, when you said it so suddenly?

If you can't understand the cameraman's feelings, then how can you do your job?!

I don't have to!

This job really does suck!

Yeah, it's the pits.

From society's point of view,

what we're doing is lower than any rats or cockroaches.

But then, why does everyone want to see those?

Huh?

Too much red!

- Oh, nice! - Of course.

Here.

Let's go to a massage parlor after we finish this.

Thanks!

Thank you.

That was the news.

Next is celebrity news, Shimoshita-san.

Yes, starting with this:

a passionate love between two idols was uncovered.

Katayama Geki-san from FIRED,

and Kojima Rui were photographed kissing.

This was published in the issue of Scoop that went into circulation yesterday.

Among others, there's a picture where they realize they're being photographed.

Nobi, I saw the scoop!!! Amazing. You're awesome!

Article - Namekawa Nobi. Photos - Miyakonojō Shizuka.

He's the next target. The young director of the democratic liberal party - Otabe Shinzou.

There are rumors that he's sure to become prime minister in the future.

Moreover, he's handsome, so the rumors are quite popular.

- Where's the info coming from? - A certain newspaper's political office.

This ain't something that the celebrity office should bother with.

The other side is quite interesting.

Oi! It's Momo-pai! (It's probably from the word paipai - boobs)

As expected from Shin-sama. You sure know not to go after cheap ones.

She's really popular.

Isn't Otabe married?

- He is. - Whoa, an affair is the worst. - It's not anything unusual, it's the basics.

An affair is a no! It's seriously creepy!

As expected from a virgin.

That's why a virgin is a nuisance, right, Momo-chan?

This weekend, there's a party at the hotel,

but he's also staying a night there.

And, she also has a live broadcast.

And later on, a meeting together at the hotel.

Ah, they're shaking.

They're both shaking, look, look!

I think you know that we want a picture of them together.

No separate pictures will work.

- Something they won't be able to talk their way out. - So, a shot of them together in a room.

Right. You get it, after all.

No other way, then~ Then I, together with Momo-chan and Shin-sama,

will do a 3p.

Right, Momo-chan?

You're going with us?

- Yes? - It's almost over, keep on the lookout.

Yes.

- You do have a suit, after all. - What the hell?

You see a man who's usually in normal clothes in a suit, and you start going drooly?

- Anyhow, you sure you wore a thong today? - What?

With this material, your pants line is going to show.

You're really the lowest.

Here comes Shin-sama.

Behind you.

You're looking too much!

Bodyguards going down, Shin-sama is here.

- Go! - Eh?

- Go, you moron, what are you waiting for? - Ah, right.

That'll save me some trouble, thank you.

Excuse me.

What floor?

16th please.

Eighth floor.

Lower than I thought.

Well, all the better for us.

How are you going to take it? There were a lot of bodyguards.

Well... if you can't come inside, you're gonna have to shoot it outside her.

What are you talking about?

Ah, you know, I don't put on a condom.

That's not what I'm asking ab...

That one with the hat, isn't that Momo-chan?

You know right away when a celebrity is wearing plain clothes.

That scarf is from Faliero Sarti, I wanted it, too~

What is it?

Nothing...

So, what are you gonna do?

I think we'll go with the "F" plan.

Those bodyguards really do an honest job.

If it were me, I'd stick my ear to the wall, for sure.

Taxpayers are paying for that room, right?

Well, that's true.

Pits, it's really the pits.

- Anyway, is it really gonna work? - The hell are you talking about?

That's practically a classic.

I took a picture of a hospitalized criminal like that before.

Anyway,

Momo-chan's body sure is sweet.

Probably the first inning is over by now, and she must be saying,

"You know, Shinzou-san, Momo wants to drink chilled white wine."

"I wonder if you could ask room-service?" and such.

- You think? - Are you-- have you never stayed at a hotel like that?

Never.

What a pity.

The views from luxurious hotels aren't for the rich or Chinese tourists,

they're for young women to see. You sure are pitiful.

It's alright, I can see it right now.

Well, true.

Here it is, here it is!

It's here!

Of course, you didn't order it yourself.

Received, and

you take the wine to the other room...

- Alright, here, light them up! - Eh?

- No "Eh"! Light them up fast! - Yes!

- Light them all up! - Yes!

- How long can it take? - I'm doing it right now!

Quickly!

It lit up!

Alright.

Come on, come on, come on!

Here he is. Come here, Momo-chan!

Here it is! In the best style!

- Oi, can you see it? - Yes.

- Can you? - Yes.

- Can you see Momo-pai? - Yes.

Woohoo!

Momo-pai is the best!

Alright!

Eh?

Shit!

Run!

We're running, they know. Quickly, quickly!

Move it, moron, really!

Go, go, go! Move it!

Again with the same thing!

W-W-W-What are you gonna do!?

- Hold on! - Eh!?

I told you to hold on!

Scary, scary, scary, scary!

Out, out of the way!

What are you going to do?

- You've still got them? - Eh?

- Fireworks, fireworks! - Yes, I do.

- Oi, fire them up! Fire it on them. - Eh!?

Fire them up and aim at them!

How long can it take? Fire, fire, fire!

Great, great, great!

Oi, this side now, go!

Aim for the windscreen, windscreen!

Windscreen, windscreen, windscreen!

Alright, next one on the left!

They're coming!

- I'm doing it, doing it! - Fire them up already!

- Shizuka-san! Shizuka-san! - What the hell?

What the hell have you done!?

Throw it, throw it now!

Awesome!

Ah, what's with this job!?

But, have you been in a biker gang before or something?

Because with driving like that... I thought it was like some Hollywood movie.

Back in the day when I was teamed with Sadako, it was a daily thing.

You were in a team with Sadako-san?

- Oi! Oi! Oi! This is sure to get us a bonus! - No way, no way!

- Eh? - Look!

- No way! - Look!

That's some Momo-pai!

Shin-sama made a really great expression here.

- It's really great. - It's the greatest, look!

This job is really superb!

Huh?

What did I say now?

What are you doing!?

It's the suspension bridge effect, give your mouth here!

Here! Ah, ouch!

Give it a rest with the camera!

What is it? Shizuka Gozen. (Historical figure)

Unusual for you to be here... what happened?

Want to drink something?

I'll leave that to you.

Actually, I've got something unusual to drink too.

How are you feeling?

So-so.

- Gozen! - Hm?

Remember this?

Where was it... Macau?

W-w-wrong!

Hawaii!

In Hawaii, when we picked up those stupid girls from the uni, that's what we drank.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah-- when we got naked and threw them into the pool? - Right, right.

Grabby-grabby and then, push!

Pits, it was really the worst.

Brings back memories.

That time you know,

Gozen, you know,

you did it with the cute one.

True, you ended up with the ugly one.

She was completely fugly!

Completely fugly.

That's unbelievable.

But, her body was the greatest.

I love ugly ones with great bodies!

Hey.

What's with that?

I went too far with my teaching.

That rookie?

Was she that fierce?

What are you talking about? It's not that.

But somehow...

you've changed-- the mood around you.

Maybe because you're smoking something fresh.

Really?

- Chara... - Yeah?

Don't overdo things.

You, too, Shizuka-chan.

Not a good sign.

No way it is.

Shizuka-san, they came out!

Nice, nice.

Come on, come on.

Now for the butt shot, alright.

Mixer? Passionate love? Top idol dead drunk & carried back home.

- No-one is looking. - You don't know that. Someone might.

It's alright.

Suddenly the mood got into them.

Don't make me wait two hours, damn you.

Alright, thanks!

Scoop! Passionate kiss in the middle of the night.

Shopping in the middle of the night. First picture of them together.

What was the cause of your loss today?

Shut up, you fucker! What the hell are you taking those pictures for?

Great, great, that's great too!

Renren, you're great!

Great, you're so cute!

Amazing!

Good morning, we're from Scoop!

Last night you were with this lady.

No matter how you may look, that's you.

- What's your relationship with her? - Master, you had a good time after all, right?

It was pleasant, wasn't it, master?

Fuck off!

Secret meeting with AV actress!

- Hey! - How does it look?

Up ahead, the door's been left open.

- OK, thanks. - Thank you.

Chara Gen-san, this is the usual.

- It's alright. - No, please take it.

Yokozuna (highest rank sumo) dead drunk with girls after his promotion.

Sawabe-san, how about this one?

The ending is good, but not the lead.

-Isn't it good to write that she's the innocent type? - But Ran-chan isn't like that.

OK, I get it.

The angle is kind of bad, do you have the main?

There's a flare that comes up, but if we trim it like this...

- Right. - But, I wondered if this wouldn't be better.

So, you were there after all, you bastard!

Exclusive. Living together in secret!

Here they are, Shizuka-san!

- Shoulder! - Yes!

Little higher.

Hold your breath.

Here goes.

One more.

Here goes!

- How do they look? - Great, really great.

Yup.

- Looks great. - Think this will work?

Please spare me, there's no way we can print this.

- Why? - Ever since she started, she did lots of gravure for us.

It's as if we trained her. You get it, right?

- It's not like she worked exclusively for us. - It concerns our office.

Gravure is one of our mains!

You know that once you focus only on gravure, the numbers will start dropping.

How long do you think you can go on with those sealed-page photos?

Shit!

May I have a moment, Editor?

That one's going to trash.

Eh!? Why?

Because of office politics.

After all, they're all salarymen.

Eh... and we spent so much time on it.

Now then, I think I'll go for a service.

Hey, Nakamura, been to any good places lately?

In Gotanda, there's a place specializing in nipples.

- You get two girls. - Really?

- Who's the specialist there? - The girls, who else?

Name is nice too-- Beach Boys.

Seriously?

- Discount coupon. - Thanks!

Oi, once in a while, you take care of my nipples, too. I'm your senior, after all!

Piss off, really!

Oh, Shizuka!

Ah, Taga-san.

Huh, it's been a while.

I hear you're working for Scoop again.

Yes, it's really tough, they work me hard all the time.

Ah, and where are you right now, Taka-san?

"Gekkan Shinzou", literature.

- No way that you read it, right? - Really?

You really are on the highway to success.

I can't hang out with Sadako forever, like you do.

No, no, it's been hell lately.

They started saying that I won't be able to swindle my way out now.

See you.

Ah, right, they need a profile photo of a writer for the front page.

- They're searching for a cameraman, maybe you could do it? - Me?

No, no way.

How old you are?

Are you going to keep taking photos of those stupid celebrities' asses forever?

Aren't those asses and the face of some author the same?

Thanks!

Keep up, middle-aged paparazzo.

Welcome!

Shochu on the rocks.

Sorry, we had to trash it. "We can't use it."

Then, maybe I'll just take it to "Bunshun".

Please...

It's tough for you.

They really piss me off.

Anyhow, those boyos only think about their path to promotion.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Every one of them is so small-minded!

Then, how about getting on something bigger?

It's not as big as you say it is, is it?

Anyway,

- Aren't you overdoing it? - The numbers are really going up, so there won't be any complaints.

I can also decide about police incidents, so things will get busier and busier.

Big, aren't we... it'll make you fat.

How about Nobi?

She's bound to be rookie-of-the-year.

Just like you planned.

That's not all I wanted.

I want you to take care of major cases.

Why?

Like when you worked with me, not just celebrities,

but I want you to take big cases, as well.

I have plenty waiting for you.

I'll pay more than you're getting now.

With this, you'll be able to clear your debts in no time.

You know, I'm suited to minor league.

Again with this.

- Think how old you got... - Wait a sec.

What's up, Chara?

Ah, really?

Ah, right away, I'll be there.

Then, I'll be going.

- Hey. - Hm?

How about you cut your ties with Chara Gen?

Chara is my most important friend, you know.

Wasn't it his fault that your life went to pieces?

Especially about that time...

What? Just because only he had to go to prison to take the rap for..

Pay me for that material that went into the trash.

We're going to a red light district, but I don't have anything on me.

Thanks for the treat.

What an asshole.

- Right? - Saeki-san!

- He totally went to see some other woman! - Saeki-san!

You shouldn't have given him that money.

Matsunaga case -- I want to have a special across 6 pages explaining everything.

Is there a reason for us doing it?

Graph is doing it.

Readers will choose either one.

How about doing what they won't?

What do you mean?

What everyone wants is what he looks like now.

How do you plan on taking it?

Interview him in prison, huh?

Editor--

Last year's Miss Uni agreed to do a nude for us.

- Could we do 4 pages? - How about just leaving sealed pages for her?

Next week they'll be out doing inspection with him on the scene-- that's where we'll aim.

That's even more impossible.

Lately they cover up everything, not to mention with such case the whole place will be in blue.

As expected from the former chief in charge of police incidents.

Then how about thinking how to strip that cover-- it's your specialty, isn't it?

Nice one!

- Piss off already! - Stop, stop.

We'll do both Miss Uni and this. It'll help the numbers.

- Right. - Yup.

But, it's true that it's gonna be difficult.

Lately the top is loud,

Also, because of the case with Otabe and that announcer, even the politicians keep their eyes on us.

Someone's been doing too much...

But, I think we should shine as much as we can while we're on a roll.

I'm sick and tired of writing articles about ramen and donburi.

- Right. - You said it.

But, we did have a few successes on police cases in the past.

- Like the photo of the Kakuei hearing? - That was Focus, we did Miyazaki.

Ah, right. Then was the Aum. Weren't you there, chief?

Ah, well, I was.

You punched that Asahi reporter, didn't you?

Well, he was getting in the way of our ladders, so without thinking...

No, no... without thinking?

Wakayama was great, too?

- Weren't you there, too? - Really, we got splashed with water, you can't forget a thing like that.

- Was that you, Tetsu-san? - Yeah, the camera was completely drenched, and the cameraman was so pissed!

Wasn't that Koike? When I talk with him sometimes, he still brings that up.

Didn't that get the Journalism Prize?

- Well, yeah. - Superb!

- Ah, you got one, too, Sadako, when you were teamed with Shizuka. - Forgot that already.

- Chief, how many did you get? - Three.

JAL Airplane and the Yacht school cases, and when I followed the secretary in the "donation" case.

- That's Showa era for you. - That's right.

What hole in time are you taking about?

Got it?

What we're doing now is an entertainment magazine.

What people want is gravure, sealed-page nudes, ramen specials,

and celebrity scandals.

The times of magazines turning against the government or "journalistic responsibility" are long gone.

Excuse me

I don't understand it.

But for now, I

I'm really pissed about him.

After all, the girls he killed were the same age as me.

And there were even younger.

They were raped.

I don't quite get this issue about journalism.

He'll probably end up being hanged.

Thinking about them,

isn't that not enough?

Then, if we show his face, they'll be able to rest in peace? isn't that not enough?

Then, if we show his face, they'll be able to rest in peace?

Listen, both victims and criminal have their rights.

- We of the press... - Didn't I tell you that I don't understand it!

I'm sorry.

Anyway, why was Baba-san so fired up?

Don't you know about the dispute about the new editor?

At the next shuffle? Hanai-san is going higher, then?

Well, since Masa-san fell off the ladder.

- Either Baba-san or Sadako. - Seriously!?

Anyway, was there a female editor?

- Nobi. - Yes?

I'll persuade the top about this case. Won't you and Shizuka do it?

It's gonna be tough, so I'll give you Sawabe and Okubo.

- Ah, but... - From now on, not just celebrities-- I want you to do big stories, too.

But, he doesn't like things like that.

That's why you have to push him into it.

It's the rookie's role to let the veteran have all the credit for success, right?

Chief!

- Maybe we could eat together this evening? Apparently they have Keiji (type of fish) at Fuji. - Is it that time already?

She's still at it, huh?

What will you do?

What do you think about it?

Want me to hit a home-run?

Why do you always talk in baseball terms? It's embarrassing.

Then "Super Goal", "Hole in One", no matter. I'm asking what you think.

I dunno.

I want to take that picture.

I want to do it.

If a writer says they want to do something, then the cameraman can't refuse...

- Then you'll do it? - ...is what I'd like to say.

- But, let's not. - Why?

It's too early for you.

Anyway,

right now, I'm more suited to a sewer job like this.

Look, they're here.

- Aren't you going? - I changed my mind.

It got too tough to handle.

If you won't, then I'm going alone.

I told you, it's too dangerous.

Why? Are you scared?

The same with Matsunaga, you're just too scared.

- Do what you want, then. - I will.

I hope you end up a cockroach, just like that Chara Gen.

Yeah, what is it?

Erm, I'd like to go now.

I asked you what magazine you're from.

I'm freelance.

- How long are you gonna piss around? - Alright, fine then.

It's alright. Those photos aren't worth anything, anyway.

Here.

Thank you.

If you put my picture anywhere,

I'll put your photos, in return.

Oi, do her.

What the fuck do you want?!

What a weakling.

Really.

You really are weak at fights.

You wanna get some, too?

Nobi-chan, right? I'll be over soon, wait a while.

Don't piss around!

Don't push your luck.

Go, go!

Go!

- Bro, you're on TV, right? - I'm Ishido.

- I always watch you. - Thank you very much.

Then, better to leave your face, right?

Y-Yes...

Ah, Shizuka-chan.

- Are you alright? - I'm...

Oi, Nobi-chan, don't overdo it!

E-erm...

Let's do a "Roppongi-date" like we used to.

Nobi, are you alright?

I'm sorry, I couldn't get any pictures.

Forget about it. What's with Shizuka?

He went somewhere with Chara Gen.

I see.

Erm...

Can I go home for today? I... kinda got hungry.

Kazuko, you know, won't let me see my daughter.

Looks like she has some guy.

And I'd be in the way.

You have to cut your ties with me sometime, too.

If you ever want to, just do it.

Who is it?

Don't you lock up?

What? Something happen?

I wanted to give your camera back.

So, you live in a place like this?

Thank you.

But,

you didn't take any photos.

Not that,

about coming to help me.

Ah..

That...

But, Chara helped you out.

I got beat up right away.

But, it made me happy.

Are you alright?

Wanna do it?

Does this work for you?

What the hell are you talking about, idiot?

About that murderer.

We're going to take it.

I'm getting tired of chasing celebrity asses all the time.

Catch.

Seriously?

You wanna do it, right?

If a writer wants to do something, then the cameraman...

What's with this!?

I want to do it!

Really!

Didn't I tell you to at least lock the...

Good timing, you haven't had any breakfast either, right, Nobi?

Yes... eh!?

You know, she's my ex-wife.

Stop it, it wasn't official.

Ah, Sadako, we're doing the inspection gig.

Ah, is that so?

Nobi, help me out.

Ah, no, erm...

I'm going back.

I was just about check whether she's a virgin or not.

Look, just like I looked like.

Didn't I walk away like that, showing my back to you?

It was the opposite.

Well, the past doesn't matter.

She turned out to be quite interesting.

Really?

How about you?

So, the press is going to gather here.

We shine at our front line, right here!

- Is that you? - Too much of a hottie!

Then, Shizuka-san and Nobi-chan aim for the best angle from here.

- Is that me? - Yeah.

- Is that me? - Fits perfectly.

- Spitting image. - No way, I'll go with this.

- Cutie. - Look at those open legs.

- Too much, lookie here at those lumps! - That's complete harassment!

The scene is here, but the car with Matsunaga will go like this.

- From here he walks. - That's him.

- He'll be escorted though. - Yeah, so the distance is quite a bit and it'll be difficult to go around it.

- This? - Wreck dump.

- Is this private? - Not that somebody's there, but you can't go in.

- There isn't any place to take a shot. - Right...

Ah, I know!

How about taking it from above, with a drone?

Regulations are tough for those. Not to mention we're near the airport, so they're probably banned.

Anyhow, are you ok with Cupid, Shizuka-san? It's naked.

- Are you blind? He's not nude; he's got feathers.

I'm gonna fly to take it!

- That's the best one. - Right you are!

No matter how you look at it, four people might not be enough for this.

- Long time, Miyashima-san! - Ah, unusual sight.

- How are you holding up? - Too much to drink.

- Good luck. - The same.

- Hey, how is it? - Hey.

- Nothing. Guarded all the way. - Looks like they'll drop him there,

- and he'll go through that tunnel to the scene. - First time I've seen something like this.

What are you going to do?

- Good work. - Good work.

- Eh!? - What's up?

- Ah, you came, Baba-chan? - "You came, Baba-chan"?

- Didn't you call me here? - Why?

We were a duo when he joined up.

You were teamed up with Baba-san, too?

Oi, oi. Bimbo will team up with anyone.

During the Hanshin earthquake, we spent a month together in one room!

- I don't recall that. During the Hanshin earthquake, we spent a month together in one room!

- I don't recall that.

How can you say that...?

Then, how about I recall that long night at Uguisudani...

Stop, stop. Spare me that. Then, how about I recall that long night at Uguisudani...

Stop, stop. Spare me that.

Then, what am I supposed to do here?

Nigata strategy-- remember that one?

- That was just pure luck. - No.

That was successful precisely because of our rugby prodigy, Baba-chan.

I'm counting on you.

Come on.

There aren't many of them here.

That's the police for you: they don't want to be bothered too much with anything.

If they tell everyone to stand over there, they think everyone will.

But among them, look!

- Get out of here. - Fine, fine!

There are people who think like us.

- Eh? What are you doing? - Huh?

You're going to use that one, right?

- That's yours. - Eh!?

- You take photos, too. - No way!

It's gonna be fine, I'll explain it to you.

I've set up the focus for you,

so don't touch anything but the shutter.

Let's try... with that policeman, try with him.

Good.

But you're trying too hard.

It's not like he's running, so don't be so impatient.

Once more.

Oi, continuous-- keep the shutter pressed, and it'll go continuously.

Oh, looking good.

Then, I'll be counting on you.

- I told you, it's impossible! - I know!

If you could take it so easily, there wouldn't be anything for me to do.

Then, why?

Just in case.

For a guy who can do his job,

it takes something to prepare in advance.

That's surprisingly prudent for someone like you. (prudent is written with a character for "small")

But you see,

on this side, I'm quite big!

The lowest, after all!

Nobi-chan, they're here!

Please stand back!

Won't we able to take it before they go in the tunnel?

After creating this circus, they'd be idiots to blunder like that.

Look!

- Ah, they came. - Stand back!

Back!

- And? - He's out!

And, and, and?

I don't see anything but his feet!

Oi, Nobi-chan, they're going your way!

- Shizuka-san, they're coming. - I know.

Shizuka-san.

What is it?

He has...

killed four people.

I'm super scared.

Me, too.

Here they are!

Yes.

Shit, I don't see anything!

If it's like that, they probably won't take it, either.

What's he doing?

- Shizuka-san, alright? - Anytime.

- And you, can you move like you did 15 years ago? - I'll do what I can.

Counting on you.

Then, I'm going.

Intruder!

Wait. Oi! Stop!

Eh!? Baba-san!?

- Don't take your eyes from the camera. Just take photos! - But!

Good, good.

Alright, go!

Go, Go, Go!

Do your best, Baba-chan!

Go, go!

Go there, go there!

Wait, wait... stop!

Stop... stop!

Go, go... GO!

Wai...

Beaten by his age, after all.

- What are we gonna do? - Listen, don't take your eyes off the viewfinder.

And flee the second after you take the picture.

Shizuka-san! Shizuka-san!

Matsunaga!

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

Oi, you, stop it!

Oi! Stop!

Stop!

Matsunaga!

Wait, wait!

Next one!

Wait, it's only just begun.

Next one!

- 50 thousand, 50 thousand! - Last one!

Sadako-- you did it!

Alpen, Alpen!

Alright. We're reserving Alpen for the evening!

It's superb, 350 thousand!

It's precisely because of that photo!

Good work doing time!

Yeah!

Ah, thank you.

Huh, but you aged, after all.

In the past, wouldn't you let them catch you, too? We're the same.

- How about going for a number? - No, no.

- My treat. - The office is having a party.

It's probably just Alpen...

- I don't want it. - I've added a bonus.

She took it.

Only because you made it so she could.

I won't hold back, then.

I wanted to see the one you took.

It got taken together with the camera.

If I don't have it, it's the same as if I didn't take it.

Shouhei, let's go!

And you know, more than some middle-aged-veteran,

it's more fun with a rookie taking that.

Sadako-san, let's sing together!

- What!? - Go, just go!

- Shizuka-san... - Don't touch me!

Sadako!

Nakashima Miyuki!

What's with that camera?

I've never seen you use it.

This...

is more like a hobby.

I couldn't use it for work. It's film, after all.

Cute.

It was the first I bought, imitating Capa.

Capa?

Robert Capa.

World-famous war photographer.

War photographer...

What?

I just thought that it doesn't suit you.

Anyhow... isn't that a cliche?

Yeah, complete "cliche".

This is his best-known picture.

I took it from my middle school library.

I didn't want any book with plenty of words in it.

Then, somehow I got my hands on this...

And after seeing this picture...

So, middle-school kid Shizuka

thought about becoming a photographer after seeing this.

Well...

that must have been what triggered it,

so that I became a cameraman.

But in the end,

I never went to a war.

Not that I took any worthy pictures, either.

I just chased after people's asses for 25 years...

Looking back,

I just don't know if I

really wanted to become a photographer.

Then, what did you really want to do?

Someday...

I just thought that I'd become somebody.

In the end,

the camera is only thing that sticks to me.

Yeah, yeah.

- Yes? - Oh, Shizuka-chan?

It just got so crazy all of a sudden!

What is it, Chara?

I went to Kazuko's place.

She went on about how she won't let me see Mika.

That got me a little crazy.

Some guy comes in,

and starts babbling things to me!

I snapped back at him!

And then, he ain't so frisky anymore!

- What are you talking about? - I'm telling you!

If you do it, let's do it all the way!

Wasn't there someone who went all the way lately?

What.. what was his name... you know that...

Ah, like Matsunaga!

I've killed that kind of a guy, you know!

That's why you need to come here and take a cool pic of me!

Chara!

What are you doing?

Where are you!?

Oi, Chara!

Shouldn't you contact the police?

He called for me.

Someone might have died.

I still owe him a big favor for something he did in the past.

That's why, if he needs me,

I just have to go.

You stay here.

Why?

He's not himself now.

Then, aren't you in danger?

I'll be fine.

Then I'll be fine, too.

I don't want you to get hurt before our second time.

Only once more?

Really, you...

It wouldn't be fun if the Yomiuri Giants and the New York Yankees had games with each other all year round, right?

- Those baseball allegories are outdated... - Also,

Give this to Sadako.

- What's this? - She'll know.

Just tell her that I lost.

Just stay here.

E-excuse me...

Oh! Shizuka-chan!

You're late!

That was totally a definitive moment for today!

See, see this?

My daughter.

- Where are we going to take it? - Ah, right...

Look, it's dull here.

Right! Let's go somewhere cool!

- Ah, let's change to somewhere better. - Let's go!

Where should we go, Chara?

Already killed three people, including one policeman.

Right now, he has taken a girl hostage and is out on the streets.

Chara-san?

Isn't that Chara Gen?

Masa!

Contact police PR!

Nobi! Where are you?

What?

- What about Shizuka? - He's with Chara Gen.

Just stay where you are, understand!?

I'll go.

Hey, where are we going to take it?

Right? I wonder.

Let's go someplace flashy!

Ah, flashy, huh?

You know, I don't have any pictures with my daughter.

Ah, so it's gonna be a first.

Should I do someone?

Ah, no, no, not yet.

Don't, don't move around.

Shizuka-chan, here too!

Oi, wait! Don't move!

- Shut up, you fucker! - Ah, leave them, leave.

It's alright, no can do.

I hate it!

Shizuka, are you taking them?

I am!

Make them more showy.

Fire at someone?

I got it, I got it, how about...

How about... how about you go at the sun?

Sun, you know. There, there!

- OK! - Fire up, fire up!

- Should I kill someone? - Not yet, not yet.

There's still some time. Let's go there for now. - Should I kill someone? - Not yet, not yet.

There's still some time. Let's go there for now.

- Here, here. Look at the sign! - Where!

That's good, isn't it?

Hey, Mika! Do it properly!

- No, no, she's doing great! - Hey!

It's alright, it's looking good.

There, there.

Aren't we there yet?

We're almost there.

It's alright. Wait!

I know what I'm doing.

It's not fun, at all!

Shouldn't I kill someone?

- No, no... - That's gonna be fun!

Run!

Just go!

- But... - It's gonna be fine.

- I'm friends with your father. - There ain't no-one to fight!

When everything quiets down, let me take your picture, alright?

It's gonna be fine.

It's a promise, right?

Go, go.

Counting on you!

It's noisy there!

We're having a session here!

Stop!

Hey!

Chara! Don't waste them.

Shut up with this "Chara, Chara"!

- My name is Chara Gen! - I get it, I get it.

Alright? How about we wrap it up?

Why? Why? Why!?

- You didn't take any pictures at all! - I already did.

- Don't fuck with me. Do more! - I've taken plenty.

- I've taken plenty. - What the hell is this?

You're taking them with such a tiny camera?

- Don't you fuck with me, I'm Chara Gen! - It's alright.

Hey, Chara-- Hawaii!

- Let's go to Hawaii. - Huh?

- Huh? - Hawaii! Didn't you say so?

When we were together last time.

Hawaii, right?

When we picked up those stupid gals.

- Together with you! - Right, right.

That's the one.

Let's do it once more.

Nice.

Tokyo is just so boring!

It's damn boring, isn't it?

It's so damn boring. Let's go. Hawaii!

- What's that? - Eh?

- What's that over there? - What?

There's someone there.

- No, no, it's nothing. - What's that about?!

- It's nothing! - What the hell!

- It's nothing! - Only Shizuka-chan can make pictures of me!

Nobi

Take it

Arrest him!

What! What's with you?

Fuck off, we're still in the middle!

Shizuka-chan! Shizuka-chan!

Hands off, idiot!

Shizuka-chan, take it now!

Shizuka-san is dead

Chara Gen shot him.

I'll tell you the details when I come back.

- If you put this picture up, I'll quit! - Calm down.

Why should I calm down?

The cameraman was killed!

He was our colleague.

Don't you get it?!

Higher ups have made this decision.

You're only able to say that because you weren't there!

Listen.

No matter how you look at it, it's wrong.

No way can we publish this.

What? Compliance?

- It's not about that! - Then what?

- Journalistic conscience? It's strange coming from you. - I've told you it's not that!

Journalism or compliance.

I don't care about those!

What I mean is more... about a human being...

Listen.

This picture that Nobi took

it's about profaning the dignity of a single human being-- Miyakonojo Shizuka.

Dignity?

Then, what about his dignity as a cameraman?

What about the dignity of a man who didn't have anything but his camera?

Stop this shit!

No way!

No way, you can't print this picture.

It's not something you can decide.

It's the decision of the person in charge of police incidents (her's).

Congrats.

It's a great scoop.

No doubt a new record in sales.

Are you gonna quit?

Heard that?

Somehow...

It was fun, you know.

I was still a rookie,

but I only went to tough scenes.

When I was with Shizuka-san, it was super fun.

About that time.

I was still a virgin.

"If you get your scoop, I'll take you to the red light district."

Then, when I finally had it,

he took me to the cheapest place you could find in Uguisudani.

Out came a woman so fat, you know...

I asked him, "Quit it, what the hell have you done?"

He said,

And he said to me, "I'm an old bitch over fifty."

And after that...

We drank together 'till morning.

Threw up together...

Nobi, we're going to use your picture.

Understood.

And the last of the last is the "dead ball". (Another baseball term: ball hitting the batter)

What about the article? Can you write it?

No...

Then, I think I will.

Here.

What is it?

From Shizuka-san to you.

"I lost."

Did he tell you what was it about?

No.

Also.

Shizuka-san's last photos.

If you could use them, then...

Come with me.

Useless.

Each one is out of focus.

Why?

It was on purpose.

So that it couldn't be used.

He did it on purpose.

Who were you considerate of, idiot...?

Last one.

Nobi.

You're going to have to write that article, after all.

It's impossible.

Wouldn't he like it?

From the woman he loved last?

Article - Namekawa Nobi. Photos - Miyakonojō Shizuka.

Alright, yup!

OK. I'll send you some help, so you better take that pic!

Yeah, counting on you!

Koike, Sonoda! Go immediately to Roppongi and help Nobi.

- Just go... - Don't you start slacking off!

Oi, Shouhei, you help too.

Maybe we're gonna have to change the first page, so better prepare yourselves to stay here all night.

Yeah... Maybe we're gonna have to change the first page, so better prepare yourselves to stay here all night.

Maybe we're gonna have to change the first page, so better prepare yourselves to stay here all night.

- She said she'll send help. - Should we wait?

- No, we'll go on the lookout. - OK!

- Just a sec, don't take my job from me. - It's alright. It's like a charm.

- Really? - Alright, let's go!

Keep watching 'till the end!
