Original subtitles

You don't call a 40-year-old woman a girl.

Is there an age limit for being a girl?

A word 'girl' is written as 'female child' (in kanji), so

it is up to 25 or so.

We are like the ones in a movie.

What do you mean?

At first, we're just a couple that fights all the time.

- But in the end, the two will... -Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

You are just big headed with many words and you brag a lot

but you probably don't know and can't do anything.

What are you doing?

Wanted to prove to you that I wasn't just a man with words.

What's important is how you live.

You just have to face it being your natural self.

My natural self...

Your natural face is relatively good, or unbearable to look..

I wonder which one it is.

Takayama Sensei asked for you.

He wants me to reinstate you as the person in charge.

Apparently, your incomprehensible behavior

expands his ideas in unpredictable directions.

?Thank you! But I don't have?

Takayama-san!

?anything to give back?

?You and your precious things?

?around you?

Excuse me.

?I will think of all those thing?

?By making?

?a heart-warming flower bouquet with tears in my eyes?

Subtitles By The Lady Girls Team @ Viki

No, no, no, no, no.

Give me a break.

It was nothing.

Ok. From today...

I should just put it here.

I've believed that you would come back.

Thanks.

I was able to come back. Everyone, I look forward to working with you again.

- Welcome back. -Yes, I'm back.

From today onward, once again, let's work hard together. I'm counting on you.

- Thank you. -It sounds so nice.

Nakahara-san, the project that we were working on while you were gone,

I summarized it, so please read it.

Thank you.

Not a problem.

This is no good. What are you doing?

It was just a bad timing. If the timing was good...

Good work today.

I'm leaving first.

- Good work today. - Good work.

- Looks like I interrupted you guys. -Eh?

You and Tachibana-san get along so well.

No, you're mistaken.

Why? You don't have to deny it so much.

Well, certainly, Tachibana-san and I, we both had a drink together...

...but that was...

...to ask for her advice regarding a person I like.

Oh, I see.

So,

So, I...

- Good work. -Good Work.

Good work. What is it?

I'm leaving first.

What's wrong with Maekawa-kun?

- He must be really happy that Nakahara-san came back. - Eh?

He has sent so many requests to President to reinstate you in the MC (Mobile Contents) Team.

But, President didn't read them at all, according to his secretary.

It is so Maekawa-kun.

He is such a good guy.

Nakahara-san, do you have a minute?

Yeah.

I need to talk to you about something.

What's wrong?

I don't think I'm cut out for (this job).

Hm?

I'm thinking if I should quit this job.

I have done as much as I could while you were gone,

but I can't live just for the job like you do.

I also want to get married... I'm so uncertain.

So, if you quit, what are you going to do?

I'm already 35. Thought I could go back home and have an arranged marriage meeting.

I see.

If you really want to get married,

I don't think anyone can stop you because it is your life.

But I wonder if you have other reasons.

Eh?

It doesn't sound like you.

No, it's nothing like that.

Then, why don't you take the time to give it a thought again?

You can come talk to me anytime.

Okay?

Thank you very much.

What's the matter?

There's something I can't describe.

What is it?

I want to describe the main character being really happy.

It's not coming to me.

- I see. I'm sure you can easily imagine the person getting angry. - Hmm?

No, no. If so, why don't you see an actual person (getting angry)?

I see.

Good afternoon.

Welcome.

May I have a coffee?

Sure.

Huh? Why are you here?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon... What a surprise...

- Hi. -Hi.

Here you go.

Thank you for the other day.

What are you here for today?

Today, I wanted to let you know that I got reinstated to the MC team.

You came all the way for that?

Well, yes.

I thought I should tell you in person.

I also wanted to ask for an advice.

Advice?

Yeah.

What is it?

I see... about Kudo-san.

There are always many sides to a story.

Even though something looks fine on the surface, it is not the case in reality.

It is not the case...? What does that mean?

For example, a person might appear to be distressed over a serious problem in life, but

actually, the person might be just holding off a trip to the bathroom.

Gosh, bathroom? I don't think so.

I am saying that people can see things only from their perspectives.

How was it? Did I help you at all?

I am getting more confused somehow.

So negative.

What did you say?

Is there something you like?

- Something I like? - Yeah.

I don't have anything in particular these days.

How about a place you want to visit?

A place I want to visit?

I don't think there is one.

Your life has no richness.

Well, I'm sorry.

Not having anything you like, how do you live your life everyday?

I do have something I like.

I wonder what they are. Show me... things you like.

I like Chikuwa.

- Chikuwa? - Yeah. [T/N: Chikuwa is a food product]

- You like Chikuwa? - Yeah. This here.

You are so different.

No, it's a cat. I've had him for a while now.

A cat. So cute! Look!

See? I wonder what he is looking at.

He is so ugly.

So rude. Say he is "Buda-Kawa" (Ugly-Cute)

"Busa-Kawa"? (Ugly-Cute?)

You are using a convenient phrase.

What do you mean convenient... Never mind. I'm not showing it.

Sorry.

That cat, why did you name it Chikuwa?

That way he looks. An inspiration. It just came to me.

I see. It just came to you.

Yeah.

Do you have a favorite song?

Songs I like... I listen to popular songs...

- I listen to Enka too. - Enka?

But recently I'm into jazz too.

You like jazz?

I see.

Next, what about your favorite food?

Food?

What is this, all of sudden.

Nothing in particular.

So weird.

I am weird today, aren't I?

Maybe I should go home.

Sorry I wasn't helpful.

Really.

See you later.

Thank you.

We need to cut down some hours.

Eh?

I am sorry, but the business has been down.

Wow, really? That will be bad.

I am not receiving any money from my parents, so I need to work.

I understand that, but we also have our issue here.

We are having hard time.

Wait a minute. That won't work.

I am not letting you go. Just cutting down some hours.

That means that I am going to get less money.

I have 3 boys and they eat very well.

Sorry, but this has been decided.

How can this...

Ah, working as a part-time is hard.

Being an employer is also hard.

I need to care about them, but as a business owner, I need to think about business first.

Ah, hey. What happened to Aki today?

Going back to her old position, she is working overtime.

Ha. Working for a company is also hard.

Being 40 is where you start seeing some result, don't you think?

You and Aki both have worked so hard, and that is why you guys are where you are now.

You, too, Midori. You put everything into raising children, and that is why you have your family.

I guess so.

You know, I worked my best even though I was a part-timer.

But they are increasing hours on younger ones with less pay, and

decreasing mine. What is going on here?

Seriously?

I am confident to work twice as much than younger ones.

Our part-timer told me that she already found a better job.

She quit already.

Being young is a strong point.

No, that isn't right.

That is right.

- Nope. - Yup.

- Nope. - Yup.

- Yup. - No way.

Oh hey.

The signal is going to change. What do you want to do? Go for it?

Yes, let's go.

That is cheating!

Okay.

Can you do that for me?

Well, that is very sudden.

Is there any request which is not sudden?

Any request is always sudden when it comes out.

You haven't changed.

You are picking on me.

Ah, I am sorry. I thought you might have some connection.

Let's see.

Anything comes back to your mind?

Our past or such...

Well... You haven been nice to us, Takayama-san.

Right? Well... I am not going to pressure you if you can't.

Welcome.

Hello.

Wow, it is so cold.

You are back.

I have been waiting for you.

Where did you go?

Well, just taking a walk.

I see.

What is going on today?

Well...

I have been thinking if there is any good advice for Kudo-san, but nothing comes to my mind.

Keep thinking doesn't mean it will come to you.

I guess so.

Why don't you take a break?

What is this?

Wow! Really?

Why did you get this?

You know this?

Of course, I do!

This is a dinner with a live band at the famous restaurant.

Getting reservation is very hard, I hear. I have been wanting to go...

Well, I asked someone I know. Yes.

You are so cool.

Sure.

How wonderful.

If you want, you can take it.

What do you mean?

Well, you can have it.

Really? Wow, it is like a dream!

Like a dream?

So happy!

Do you have anything in your mind?

No, not like that.

Oh well. I am happy! Yeay!

That is good.

There are 2 tickets. What does that mean? We are going together?

Eh? Together... do you want to?

No, I didn't mean that.

Ah, let me think.

I will ask Moeko, so don't bother...

Can't help. I have some time, so shall we go together?

No, I didn't say that.

Ah, I've got a call.

- Wait, wait. - I can't help, right?

Wait up. I am really okay...

[ Rocky Cafto Jazz Convert ]

He is acting cool, but I think he must had hard time getting those tickets.

Eh?

This is a secret, okay?

Secret...

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team @Viki.

Hello?

Junichi-san? This is Moeko's mother.

Ah, hello.

Thank you very much for the other day.

Not at all.

I would like you and Moeko to go forward.

Eh?

Sooner is better.

If you want, I can find some good place to have a wedding.

Wait a second. Moeko-san hasn't told you yet?

Eh? What do you mean?

Moeko.

Mother.

What is going on?

I called Junichi-san. He said that he might not see you anymore.

You didn't tell me.

You can't let go of that guy with great conditions.

If you guys are having a fight, just apologize.

Stop it, already.

You must have done something to make him upset, Moeko.

If we get married, your mother will come to our house everyday and have a say so on everything.

That is no what I want.

I don't have anybody working for me right now and am busy. Go home. I am not a kid anymore.

How can you say that to your parent.

Stop it. Calm down.

Do you know how much it was hard for me to raise you?

Mother.

What is going on being loud?

Tashiro-san.

Who is he?

Well, let's go somewhere else.

Moeko. Who is he?

I am Tashiro.

A pinball parlor, huh? Pay is good, but it must be hard job.

Eh? Why are you looking for a job, mom?

- No, no no. - We are in that situation here?

Seriously?

No, it is not like that. I am having a problem with the owner, so I am just thinking about changing the job.

Mom, can I have money to buy a study-aid book?

HEY! Why is it now?

- Can't you read the atmosphere now? - What? Huh?

Oh no, no. It is okay.

A study-aid book, huh? Having a mind to study is good. How much is it anyway?

Well...$30.

$30? Okay, Alright. Wait a sec.

You see? You are going to study hard, alright?

Oh... Thank you.

Okay, here is from me.

I will leave now.

- Hey, can you buy me some ice cream on the way back? - Vanilla for me, please.

- Be careful, alright? - Got it.

You guys!

I will make some hamburg and fried chicken!

Wow! Yeay!

It has been a year, huh?

Not that long ago. We just had it.

Really?

Hello.

Hello, this is Sawada. Sorry to call you on the weekend.

No, it is okay.

A counseling room? Which one is it?

Come in.

Okay. Please excuse me.

This is Sakata Ryo-kun's mother.

I am Nishio, a Vise Principal here.

Thank you for taking care of Ryo.

Please have a seat.

The reason why we asked you to come here today is about your son.

Yes.

The concern is he might be getting bullied.

Yes.

Well, that was not true.

You might have misunderstand something.

Vice Principal!

You stay out of this. Those student who are supposed to be bullying him are not admitting, right?

They have not admitted yet, but--

This school... there is no bullying going on in this school.

What does that mean?

Well, the other parents are feeling sorry for causing Ryo-kun to get hurt.

No wonder he is a head of board directors. He said this is for sympathy.

What is this?

Please, take it.

Are you making fool out of us?

Don't fool us.

How much Ryo is struggling is not comforted with this kind of stuff.

Is the school is not protecting him, I will protect him.

Excuse me.

Welcome.

It's is not that. You mean, "Don't think. Feel" right?

What? Really?

It is not "Don't think. Believe"?

No, no.

Wow, really?

Ah, Moeko. That was fast.

Tashiro-san is very funny.

Can you be my tea friend?

My pleasure.

Ah, I am late!

This always happen.

Time always run out on me.

Jazz... This should be okay.

Makeup!

Gotta hurry.

[ Seems fun ]

Why is it always like this?

I don't care how it is anymore!

Okay, okay.

Put more, put more, put some more.

You are back.

Ah! You are wearing white today. Too shiny!

I guess so.

- Master, can I have coffee? - Sure.

Gosh!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team @ Viki

What is it?

I am sorry for call you out on your day off. I have something to talk to you about.

What is it about?

I am thinking about quitting the job.

Why?

Why?

Why do you tell me that?

As a president or as a man?

As my ex.

Then, I don't have anything to say. We are finished already.

Can't you worry a little bit?

That is a spoiling.

What is it?

- Hello. - Welcome.

Ah, you are more beautiful than usual.

Really?

Can you say that more?

- Oh, I see, I see. - What do you mean by that?

I guess so.

" I see" and " I guess so"? What is that?

It is time. Master, can I have the key?

Hey... Cool.

Okay, let's go.

Why can't you say if I look good or bad?

Have a good time.

- We will be back. - Can't you say that?

What an old camera.

It is a Leica from 1952.

An antique?

Everybody like the newest models, but I like something like that, a vintage.

What is good about this?

Well, it takes time to print out the pictures or fix it if it is broken.

Nothing good about this then.

But since it has gone through many years, it has its class.

It's like it has a soul in it.

What? Should we have turned right on that street?

I don't know.

Ah! You should have keep an eye on the map.

- Why me? - You left it here.

What are you doing?

You need a GPS here.

We are turning back now.

- Yea, I am right. - How am I looking at this?

I am sorry, it is a small car.

No.

Ah, even your heart is trembling, it is just an imagination.

What?

A man and woman in this kind of small place and feel their hearts trembling mistake this as a love.

What are you talking about? My heart is not trembling.

Ah, alright then.

Shall we go then?

You drive safe, Takayama-san.

I thought you drive very rough.

You thought I drive like that?

Well, you drive under the limit, and it is very stable.

I really like that a pointer sits exactly on the line.

That is very like you.

Like me?

What a convenient word.

- I am sorry. - Go ahead.

Hello? This is Nakahara.

Umm...

Huh? What is going on Kudo-san.

I am sorry... I am going to quit the job.

What?

I am sorry.

Where are you now?

Okay.

We are almost there.

I am sorry. Can you stop?

It seems like Kudo-san is in trouble.

I am really sorry but...

- I've gotta go. - I see.

I am sorry.

Welcome.

Wow, it is gross.

Wow, she is throwing up.

Kudo-san? Kudo-san!

Are you alright? What is going on?

Nakahara-san.

Thank you very much. It got on your clothes.

Don't worry about this. It is alright.

Did you have someplace to go?

Well, not like that. I was going home anyway.

I...really don't like going to work.

Eh?

I don't want to see him.

Him?

The president. We used to date.

You might think why I am being like this only breaking up with a man.

But... I can't try anymore.

What are you saying?

I get dumped often.

- Really? - Yes.

It is almost to the point to laugh about it.

Ha! I feel much better.

I should call him.

Hello, this is Takayama.

Ah hello. This is Nakahara. I am truly sorry about today.

That is true. You totally played me.

Yes, that is true. I am really sorry. I wasted those rare tickets as well.

I had such a great time here.

- Huh? - Huh?

What... where are you now?

Well...

I am sorry, we are closing soon.

Can you say that again?

We are closing soon.

I understand.

Huh? No way...

Even it is me, I couldn't eat while there are bunch of couples here.

What? I am sorry. I will be right there.

What? What is he doing?

I am the last one here.

Why is the zipper stuck at the time like this?

Glasses...

I need a mask since I am not wearing a makeup.

Coat, coat.

Ouch!

Ouch! Why the corner is there?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Lady Girls Team @Viki.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I didn't think you would be here waiting.

I wasn't waiting. I didn't want to waste the tickets.

Ah...

What is it with your mask and glasses.

Well... not that I'm sick but... no make up?

In front of you...

Did you eat?

I haven't yet.

I'm hungry.

Where are we going?

I'm hungry.

I know. I'm asking where we are going.

Tastes good.

This place is nice.

Well, yeah.

Why don't you take your mask off?

How can you eat?

I can.

Eat it while it's hot.

Then. Thank you for the meal.

Ah! Wait...

Oh...

I see.

What do you mean?

I was wondering since you were hiding it so much.

So this is what it's like.

What are you laughing. So rude.

No, no.

- Excuse me. -Yes.

Can I have one beer and one raw egg?

Thank you for this meal.

Here you go.

Thank you.

This is so good.

Why do you hide your natural face?

That's because I have no confidence...

Remember I talked to you about vintaged goods?

Women are the same.

Eh?

As you age, you might get wrinkles or spots. That's normal.

Why are you embarrassed by it? It's a medal.

It's a history of that person engraved in her face.

Well... I heard someone saying something like this.

"A girl is up to 25 years old"... maybe I heard it wrong.

That was just a definition of a girl.

I didn't say I like girls.

Oh really?

Besides, you can have a deeper conversation with a mature woman.

I didn't think I would hear something like that from Takayama-san's mouth.

You are the one who decided that woman's value lies in youth.

By the way, your natural face is not so bad.

This looks better.

Don't joke with me.

I think make up and fashion is important.

To dress accordingly to occasion is important.

But, it's your natural beauty that comes out at all times.

Just say it honestly.

Like, "you have plenty of natural beauty." Something like that.

I didn't say anything like that.

I know but...

Is that egg covered rice?

Do you want some? Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you for the meal.

It's so good.

So tasty.

I'm so happy.

Do you eat this often?

- Everyday -Everyday?

Thank you for today.

What a day it was.

I'm sorry.

But, well... it was fun.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh, that... what was it?

What?

That cat.

You mean, Chikuwa?

That's right.

What about him?

I just remembered... was wondering what was his name.

That's right. It was Chikuwa. I thought it was Tsukune. (Chicken meatball)

Bye.

Wait. Let's go eat something good again.

To pay you back for today, just say whatever you want to eat.

Then, maybe we can go to another diner?

A diner again?

I like places that aren't too flashy.

Oh I see.

Bye.

Bye.

?Someone is calling. I hear someone calling?

?Is it okay to get my hope up? I don't want to be betrayed anymore ?

?So good but I'm still anxious.?

? I try not to feel it and fall asleep at 3:0oam?

? It is not anywhere perfect ?

It's so tiresome to put make up on and take it off, and put it on and off... Chikuwa, which do you like better?

[Doesn't matter] Doesn't matter, huh?

How can you have such a cute face? What is up with this nose?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Chikuwa, what should I do?

?No matter what, No matter where ?

? If you believe in it, you can shine ?

No one is here.

Hi.

Hi. What's wrong?

? My brand new world?

I wanted to see.

I'm coming in.

Next on Lady Girls.

It's not wrong to say it's a fateful meeting but I don't know my own feelings...

I wonder why he suddenly came over...

Nakahara-san, do you have a boy friend?

Women who had relationship with you are getting together and having it out.

Mother, I need to talk to you about something.

This is a great news. Our management is interested in publishing your book now.

Women will always be a mystery to men.
