I'm pregnant

Really... good...

When we moved into the housing project,

I thought I had arrived at a shimmering new future

Don't cry, now

Mana, can Mommy have some ice cream?

Mmm, yummy

Look Ko

Why's Ko crying?

Up so high, high Stopped crying

Doing the exact opposite of my detested mother

I started my new family

Mama

What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?

Don't be scary

This area used to be a cemetery

Cut it out

Mother, are you OK?

Yes, I just spaced out a little

Seconds? More beer, Papa?

Teacher

In our family, we share everything

Our rule is we hide absolutely nothing from each other

Right, when I got my first period, we had a party to celebrate

And we had a Celebrate Ko's Awakening to Sex Party

Sister!

Mama, tell us how you lost your virginity

Right now? Oh, no

No secrets in our family

I'll write it up in a report later

Tell us now, with teacher here, too

When was it... not in front of Papa It was Papa, after all

That's not what you said before

Tell us

How was it, Papa?

Don't... don't ask me

Wasn't it you, Papa?

It was Papa

Of course it was Papa

I've only slept with him

That's not what I heard before...

A family without secrets is like a love hotel room with no windows

What does that mean?

Oh, I don't mean anything strange

It was just a metaphor, nothing more

And do you use them, teacher?

Of course not

I'd like to see a room with no windows

Ko, that's a fantastic seduction line You're a natural

Have you had a Caught Dad Cheating Party?

Not yet

No, no, no, no, no

No, no party like that

No, no

It's time for me to go

Thank you for the lovely meal

Oh, not at all

Sorry for not cleaning up

- See you - Take care, then

Take care, teacher

Thanks

Going on a date, now?

Maybe that's a secret

See you, Ko

Thank you

Do your homework

See you, take care, bye bye

Honey, there's no more beer Guess I have to go buy some

No more beer...

Reeks of perfume

Ko, can you clean that up?

Do you ever get horny for your teacher?

She's got big tits

I don't get horny for her But her breasts are big

Hmmm How's the studying going?

I'm realizing what my weakness is

What's your weakness?

I get too obsessed

But it's important to be obsessed

If you really want to be beautiful, or be cool,

you tend to get what you want

Even this place, I really wanted to live here,

and I got to

At the time, this was the place everyone coveted

I thought, "I got what I wanted! Now our family can be happy"

That's what I mean by obsessed

When you get obsessed, you shut out reality

Mina, I wanted to see you

You see me every week

I'll go to the store

More...

Lady, no smoking or cell phones allowed

Don't you hear me? No smoking, look

The No Smoking sign

I'll throw you off the bus

Driver...

What a drag

I'm his guardian, Kinosaki Satoko

My grandson caused you so much trouble

How can I apologize...

What a provincial department store

Got me out of a jam, thanks, Sacchan

Not so fast

What?

I'm your guardian

Sorry, did you buy it?

Who's she?

Sacchan

Sacchan?

I'm his guardian, Kinosaki Satoko

I thought I had money...

You got caught shoplifting?

I had to get her, she's my guardian...

Why did you bring your grandma?

It's too surreal

What does surreal mean?

Have fun with your grandma

Don't "grandma" me Want me to set your hair on fire?

When you ask a kid to shop for you,

the mature thing to do is to give him enough money

How much? How much were the tampons?

What a drag

I'm not asking for the money

Dragging a kid to a place like this What if his parents find out?

You've got parents, don't you?

No, I don't

Well, excuse the fuck out of me

Go ahead and tell his parents

Ko, why not learn how to fuck from an experienced, mature woman

Fax? Send it where?

Teacher

Ko

Tell me the truth How far have you gone with her?

This?

This?

Or...

This?

Did you get this far?

I haven't gone anywhere

I just heard that love hotels don't have windows,

so I had her bring me here

You're right, there are no windows

I'll take you to the hospital

Maybe I'll rest here

The bath looks nice and big

All right, but you have to swear not to tell Mom

No, I won't You need bus fare?

I've got it But thanks

We all come into this world crying And bloody, too

Hey, Kyobashi!

What are you doing, Mokki, running up the stairs?

Did you hear?

What?

Discovery Mall has to halt development Way to go

What?

Justice prevails, after all

Oh, and you know

You gotta stop calling me Mokki It's way too tacky

See you

I'll meet you at your new place

The Taniis from the 10th floor moved out

It's getting so lonely here

I wonder who'll move in to their place

Who'd want to move in here?

Oops

Who needs human company...

What a drag

Wow, amazing

Thanks to you

Shhh, that's a secret

But why have a party for me tonight?

Because it's your birthday

That's not what I mean

Why is your family celebrating my birthday?

We share anything with strangers but not with each other

Hello, everything's ready

Coming

Mama, you're over-frying these Maybe not...

My mother, Sacchan It's her birthday, today, too

I'm Kinosaki Satoko

This is Mina, Ko's tutor

Thank you for looking after Ko

Not at all I'm always being fed here

Where's Dad?

He's late

You should always tell him an earlier time. He's such a pussyfoot

Oh, all right Let's start without him

I'm home!

Papa, you're late

I missed my bus

Thank you for working late

Mother, it's been a long time

Takashi, you're always the picture of fortitude and manliness

Sit down, Papa

Is wine OK, teacher? Please

No wine for you, mother

I can have a toast

This could be my last birthday Right, Takashi?

Drink up

You're so sweet, teacher

Well, then

In honor of Mina's 22nd birthday

and Sacchan's something-or-other birthday,

here goes, Happy birthday to you...

Mina, Sacchan, congratulations!

Cheers

Let's eat, let's eat

Please, eat up

Dad, you seem a little down

Is it because Sacchan's here?

I know, it's a school play

This is a school play

This is exactly like a kindergarten play

They all know the truth, but they're acting like a happy family

A school play

I get it This is a school play

Teacher, are you OK?

"Teacher, are you OK?"

You're good at mimicking Ko

Right?

What's wrong with a school play? It's fun, isn't it?

Why not be happy to be alive? It's your birthday

Mother, I didn't know you smoked

I haven't been able to quit since 18

Can't quit

May I smoke one?

Sure, feel free

Thank you very much

Here, teacher

You said you didn't like women who smoke

I had quit...

Hotel Wild Monkeys... Do you frequent love hotels?

Well, most days when I come here

Are you drunk, teacher?

You could get alcohol poisoning

So, the question is...

Who is with me then?

I'll go buy some beer

We've got another case

Some harder stuff, then...

After you hear the answer

No. 1, Papa

No. 2, Ko

No. 3, Sacchan

Call her a taxi

And the answer...

Really, Mama, call her a taxi

You OK?

Teacher, are you OK?

Teacher, I brought you some water Can I come in?

Are you OK?

I'm coming in

Are you OK? You'll feel better if you throw it all up

Drink all that water up You OK?

It's acute alcohol poisoning

Turn on the TV?

I've lost my appetite

''... thing is, I don't want him to wimp out

''I totally want him not to wimp..."

What a totally stupid show, sorry

Would you read these outside?

Don't leave them in the toilet

What am I supposed to do? We haven't done it in 5 years

Bet you've got cobwebs down there

Hey, she looks exactly like Mana

What?

Exactly like her

Idiot! She doesn't look anything like me

I can't believe you buy these, Papa You're the worst, disgusting

What am I supposed to do? We haven't...

Because you're cheating?

No I'm not

Oh, what's the big deal

Young people have their own rules about dating

Say, when I was talking with Ko on the phone...

Mother, I've told you not to call when I'm not here

I called her to ask her how this place used to be

The reason you thought we could all be happy living here,

was because it was brimming with direct sunlight and greenery...

That's what she taught you?

What is she teaching you? That giant-breasted teacher

Straightening your hair, getting sexy...

How about "Thanks for dinner?" Isn't that what you say?

Eriko

Ko's just impossible these days

I don't have a clue anymore

Just like an ex-class president Super mean

Ex-class president?

At this rate, Ko might become a "shut-in"

Eriko you used to be a "shut-in," too

No way

Of course not

Back then, we didn't have that nifty phrase "shut-in" yet,

so you couldn't tell whether she was lazy or sick

I was not a shut-in

They'd tease you, "Ninny, Ninny," and you'd come home crying

Listen, Mother

What is it?

Why don't you just die

Maybe I'll have another glass of beer

Hello?

Is that Ninny

No, it's not

- I'll answer it - Why?

Not sure why

Hello, Eriko san?

What do you want?

Listen, I forgot my earrings in my locker at the soba shop

Can I borrow the key?

I'll give it right back, can I come over?

Listen, you

What?

Die

Who was that?

Miss Fizz-for-brains

So many girls like that these days

I say it's time for the cake

Yeah, let's have cake

They shot this in Wild Monkeys

You know Wild Monkeys, Sacchan?

She's still very much in her prime

This does look exactly like you, Mana Look

That's why you were curious about love hotels

You do take after your father, Mana

I found a Viagra brochure in your bag

What do you do when cut school?

I eat sweets Meals with liars taste lousy

Thanks for dinner, Ninny

Taka-baby, water

Teacher, let's call you a cab Are you OK?

Taka-baby

Who's Taka-baby?

I bit your nipple...

Yes, hello?

Who the hell are you?

I'm Kinosaki Satoko Who might you be?

I'm Mr. Wimp's S-Friend

Oh, it's so nice to meet you

Mr. Wimp, your S-Friend's on the phone

Thanks

Hello, S-Friend Alva Trois

Tell me, is S-Friend French?

It means Sex Friend

Oh, I see

Brings back memories

Remember how we'd go out to celebrate birthdays?

We'd ride the bus to Sushi Tsune or Gourmet Grill?

I have no memories

of going out to eat with you

Sure we did

Don't tell me, you're going senile

Maybe you should go back into therapy

Listen, Mother

Why don't you just die

There's too many candles

Too senile to remember your age?

Reminds me of funeral incense

Make your incense offering

Don't mind if I do

What...

Birthdays are for the survivors

So many people have already died on me

Those I loved, those I hated

But as time passes, you forget them

That's the saddest thing of all

When you're dying,

it's as though ordinary memories, gathering dust in an empty well,

quietly start to play, like in a silent movie

That's what I've been thinking

Do you remember, when you were 3 or 4,

we took a ride on the ferris wheel?

You cried for ice cream,

but I only had enough money to buy one

But you wouldn't even give me a bite

I kept asking you to give Mommy a bite,

but you just shut up and pouted

I got pissed off and slapped you

That scene's been appearing in my dreams, lately

But each time I see it, the dream's a little different

It keeps getting better

I'm revising my memories in my dreams, improving on them

When I think I'll die in this dream,

I feel so relieved, not sure why...

Having kids is so great

When you have kids, time flows so slowly

And your life follows an orderly cycle

You get your hands on whatever you need

And then you can start over

Start over and do it again

It's your fault I couldn't go to school

Start over, do it again

A mother is supposed to

love her child, affirm her child,

bring her up well, protect her from hatred and evil

point out what's right and beautiful in the world,

and protect her against despair and fear

That's what she's supposed to do

Start over

That's what a mother does

Creating that kind of a home is what a mother does

I don't want to keep on smiling

My smile is a prayer,

to protect this family,

so we can all live happily, every day

Start over... Do it over

You never should've become a mother

You're a failure as a mother

In my next life, when I'm reborn,

I'll be your mother and bring you up properly

So why don't you just die

Start over, do it over

Start over

Do it over

Eriko, Mom's looking much better

The reason Mom refused surgery,

was because she thought,

under anesthesia, she'd just blab everything

What?

She'd seen a spy movie, where the guy was afraid he'd spill,

so he choose surgery without anesthesia

When the doctor assured her it wouldn't make her talk, she went right under

So, she's got secrets

You know what they are, brother?

Live life as long as she has and I'm sure she's got a secret or two

But you'd know better than me Unlike me, you two get along

What do you mean?

You've always gotten along

To this day, you're all she talks about

How you brought her flowers or plants from so-and-so...

My wife's had it up to here with it

You tell me her secret and I'll pay for the surgery

Mana?

Mom, I'm sorry, I have to stay for practice today

It's hard work making new friends with girls in high school

I might be a little late

OK, then, stick with it Just don't be too late

Bye, then

Bye, then

Yes, I'm in the tunnel

Well, the situation is, when the dog leapt out,

I swerved to avoid him and that's when I ran into it

No, nobody's injured

Teacher Mina, when they built that housing project, did they think,

if all the windows were the same size and faced South at the same angle,

that they'd all get the same sunlight and everyone would be equally happy?

What are you talking about?

That's for drying laundry

See ya

No matter how late, he's always home by 10

He'll be fine

Ko's pretty together Let him go out, once in a while

He's 14 years old

Listen, Papa

If you know where Ko is, tell me

Ko's with Mina, right?

You know Mina's cell phone number

Don't play dumb, I know what's what

I'm sorry, actually, I've broken our family rule about no secrets...

I don't want to hear your ridiculous confession

Blabbing a secret isn't following the rules

I want you to not have any secrets, to protect our family!

I'll call you back

Are you listening to me?

... they were trying to steal the cash,

when an officer responded

to the alarm, arresting them for attempted robbery and murder

In custody are Saito Sachiko, age 20, unemployed,

and Yokoyama Katsuo, 25, also unemployed

Suspect Saito had once worked at the restaurant...

You're late Find a new boyfriend?

I was at practice

Oh, I see

What's in that bag?

Nothing

Papa, are you loving Mama like you should?

I think Mom's on the edge, like she might lose it. Something's off

She's always talking to herself, always mumbling

Like "idiot," "die," or "I'll kill you"

Something's wrong

Oh, yeah?

There's no telling what people will do if they're deprived of love

Why don't you love her, instead of hiding porn

Listen, you were both totally unexpected,

but for me to quit college, give up my dream of cycling around Hokkaido,

get my act together to get married,

get an apartment in the housing project, hunt down a job,

always chase after the next job that's even a little bit better,

swallow my pride and borrow money from my folks,

and when I do stay out, always be home by morning,

with hardly a kiss from your mother these past 5 years...

But how on earth do you think I can stand,

looking out for our family in our pathetic housing project,

if not for love!

Right?

You're late

What'd you buy?

Ko?

No, the one that nearly died

What?

Say, I had this dream

Remember back when,

you cried like a baby, saying that no one in your family

ever celebrated your birthday?

That we only ever celebrated your brother's?

I had a dream exactly about that

Frankly, I never played favorites between you

Sorry, but I don't have time to listen to your stories

Oh, sorry

But the thing is, today's the 18th, right?

I wanted to reach you before midnight, so I popped my dentures in and called

Happy birthday

Did you hear me?

Happy birthday

Now I'll be able to sleep peacefully

OK, excuse me

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

What's wrong?

Where'd you cook me up?

Cook you up...

Where was I given life,

my destiny-origination

Don't ask such a thing

The really important things, you take to your grave

Got that?

Sure

That's what I mean by obsessed

When you get obsessed, you shut out reality

A bite of ice cream?

Sure

Isn't it yummy, Eriko?

Hey, Mama

Hurry, Mama

Maybe she's asleep

For real? This early?

Think Mama remembers?

Bet she's still forgotten

She always remembers our birthdays

Know what this is called?

What's it called?

A surprise birthday party

Sounds suspicious

Wish she'd wake up

She'll let us in when she wakes up

Let's wait, then

Welcome home

A worn-out road

leading up a hill to anywhere

A dragonfly's missing a wing

The sun climbs overhead

refusing to move

I lose my own shadow

Kyoko Koizumi

Itsuji Itao

Anne Suzuki

Masahiro Hirota

Jun Kunimura / Eita

Sonim / Hiromi Nagasaku

Michiyo Okusu

A road leading up a hill

that goes on forever

An ant carries a dragonfly wing

Without a shadow

there's no forward or back

I walk down the hill

I wanted to see beyond

the road on the hill

but I sit down

in the middle of the road

The midday sun

shimmers so bright

I wait for my shadow

on the road on the hill
