[00:25] ---
    Every day, the sky flows on,
[00:27] ---
    as if a "play" button
    has been pressed again and again.

[00:32] ---
    A scene that never changes.
[00:34] ---
    No dissatisfaction.
[00:35] ---
    That must be proof of peace.
[00:38] ---
    I was scouted out and entered show business,
    but the world didn't change otherwise for me.

[00:44] ---
    Shooting is starting today for the drama
    that will mark my debut as an actor.

[00:49] ---
    As always,
    everything was pretty much going smoothly.

[00:53] ---
    I'm Taguchi, Junta Azumaya's manager.
[00:56] ---
    Azumaya, this is the director, Mr. Kadokura.
[00:59] ---
    I'm Junta Azumaya.
[01:01] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[01:03] ---
    N-Nice to meet you!
[01:05] ---
    He's hooked!
[01:06] ---
    Y-You're really popular right now, huh?
[01:08] ---
    Your hair and eye color are light.
    Maybe you're half-Japanese?
[01:11] ---
    My grandfather is a Spaniard...
[01:12] ---
    Mr. Saijo! Good morning!
[01:14] ---
    Good morning!
[01:16] ---
    Good morning.
[01:17] ---
    There's Takato!
[01:19] ---
    Hi, Saijo!
[01:20] ---
    Long time no see.
[01:26] ---
    So this person is...
[01:28] ---
    Takato Saijo.
SIGN    hug 7 "Can I keep liking you?"
[03:05] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
    I'm Junta Azumaya from Mitsuya Production.
[03:09] ---
    I look forward to working with you.
[03:15] ---
    Oh. I'm glad to have the chance
    to work with you on your drama debut.
[03:19] ---
    Let's make this a great one.
[03:21] ---
    Yes!
[03:23] ---
    Was he appraising me?
[03:27] ---
    "Vial of the Sun" was a pure love story
    about a young perfumer with an eye disease

[03:31] ---
    and a girl who aims to become a glass artisan.
[03:36] ---
    My role was an aspiring potter and old friend
    of the heroine who's in love with her.

[03:41] ---
    Cut! Okay, we got it!
[03:43] ---
    Then next,
    the scene between Hinata and Satomi.
[03:45] ---
    Okay!
[03:47] ---
    Azumaya, is this really your first time?
[03:49] ---
    That was great!
[03:51] ---
    Thank you.
[03:53] ---
    So I guess how I did that was good.
[03:55] ---
    For now, it looks like
    doing the usual would suffice.

[04:07] ---
    Um...
[04:09] ---
    what is this?
[04:12] ---
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[04:14] ---
    Stop! Stop!
[04:15] ---
    What's with this girl's performance?
[04:16] ---
    Ugh, there he is. Sakamaki, the producer!
[04:19] ---
    I'm sure this is a tough job for a cheesecake
    model, but you've still gotta do your best!
[04:19] ---
    Don't get too close to him, otherwise you'll
    feel like you want to punch him.
[04:24] ---
    Wow, he looks like pink fish floss.
[04:26] ---
    M-Mr. Sakamaki!
    Her performance wasn't that bad.
[04:29] ---
    All right, fine, I guess I've got to lecture you
[04:31] ---
    on the creative frame of mind
    that's needed for a drama.
[04:33] ---
    I'll take you out drinking afterwards, okay?
[04:36] ---
    First workplace harassment,
    then sexual harassment.
[04:39] ---
    I wonder if rescuing her here
    would have an effect on my next job.

[04:41] ---
    Thank you.
[04:43] ---
    Are you off tomorrow? You're off, right?
[04:44] ---
    Oh, what the hell.
[04:46] ---
    Hey, Azumaya?!
[04:46] ---
    Yeah. Then what should we do?
[04:49] ---
    I guess go to Ginza? Get some sushi...
[04:54] ---
    Excuse me.
[04:56] ---
    If we're not going to continue here,
    can we go on to my next scene?
[05:01] ---
    We're just wasting time.
[05:05] ---
    This has such a gentle form.
[05:07] ---
    It doesn't have the stiffness of glass
    and as I'm holding it, it feels warm.
[05:14] ---
    What?
[05:15] ---
    I knew it.
[05:17] ---
    You're the same as this vial.
[05:19] ---
    The scent of the warm sun.
[05:21] ---
    Did you make this?
[05:24] ---
    He delivers such an elegant performance.
[05:27] ---
    It's like every moment is thoughtful.
[05:29] ---
    My eyes want to follow him
    all the way to his fingertips.

[05:32] ---
    I like this pure feeling of tension.
[05:35] ---
    It feels like he brings an air of dignity
    to this whole set.

[05:39] ---
    Cut! Okay, we got it!
[05:42] ---
    Well, I'll be on my way.
[05:44] ---
    S-See you tomorrow!
[05:46] ---
    Th-That's my Saijo!
[05:48] ---
    You're in a whole other league
    than those newbies! Good, good!
[05:51] ---
    You.
[05:52] ---
    You're in my way.
[05:55] ---
    S-Sorry.
[05:57] ---
    Thank you.
[06:02] ---
    Saijo was in a bad mood
    because you were doing a terrible job!
[06:05] ---
    You better apologize to him later!
[06:08] ---
    It's almost impressive how small-time he is.
[06:10] ---
    The pink fish floss logged out?
[06:13] ---
    Um, I apologize for making Mr. Saijo angry.
[06:17] ---
    Oh, no, I think Saijo just put on
    a good act to divert Mr. Sakamaki.
[06:23] ---
    By doing that, Mr. Sakamaki
    had to start worrying about Saijo's mood
[06:27] ---
    and wasn't able
    to pick a quarrel with any of us.
[06:30] ---
    To be honest, that was really my job.
[06:32] ---
    I'm pathetic.
[06:34] ---
    Takato, you have to be so cool.
[06:41] ---
    So this is what it's like
    to be on the set of a drama.

[06:44] ---
    I don't think it's like anything
    I've experienced before. Especially...

[06:47] ---
    I'd like to order catering for the set,
[06:49] ---
    and please add an assortment of sweets
    that girls would like.
[06:53] ---
    Yeah, I just want to improve
    morale on the set a bit.
[06:57] ---
    Mr. Saijo didn't go home?
[07:00] ---
    I'm fine. How many years
    do you think I've been doing this?
[07:04] ---
    Strong people like him are just
    picture-perfect just by doing that.

[07:05] ---
    Yeah, sorry for the hassle, Mr. Sasaki.
[07:07] ---
    Please put the order in. Thanks.
[07:12] ---
    The next time that producer
    rears his head and shows up on set,
[07:17] ---
    I'll embarrass him so badly
    that he'll never wear pink again.
[07:24] ---
    "Creative frame of mind," whatever!
[07:26] ---
    You oughta recreate yourself
    from before you were born!
[07:30] ---
    I see. This is what he's like.
[07:34] ---
    His face that's not on set...
[07:36] ---
    I mean, it's really different,
    but oh man, it's hilarious!

[07:37] ---
    I need more sugar! Come on,
    serotonin! Give me some more!
[07:41] ---
    Well, enough of that little fish,
    but this Junta Azumaya...
[07:48] ---
    It's been a while since I've had to contend
    with a major annoyance.
[07:52] ---
    I see.
[07:55] ---
    He's always been looking at me with hostility.
[07:59] ---
    I guess this is what it feels like to be hated.
[08:04] ---
    Mr. Saijo.
[08:06] ---
    Good work today.
[08:07] ---
    A-Azumaya?!
[08:09] ---
    You like hot chocolate?
[08:13] ---
    How long have you been here, Azumaya?
[08:15] ---
    Not long.
[08:16] ---
    Oh, I see.
[08:17] ---
    By "not long,"
    you mean like four or five minutes?
[08:19] ---
    No, about 30 seconds.
[08:21] ---
    Oh, really?
[08:23] ---
    Mr. Saijo, thank you for earlier.
[08:28] ---
    Oh, you knew what I was doing, huh?
[08:30] ---
    Mr. Kadokura explained it.
[08:32] ---
    Oh.
[08:34] ---
    I owe him one.
[08:36] ---
    His eyelashes are so long
    that they cast a shadow.

[08:37] ---
    Then I don't have to spell it out.
[08:41] ---
    Well, if things have quieted down over there,
    I'll return to the studio.
[08:45] ---
    I have to thank Mr. Kadokura.
[08:47] ---
    Um, Mr. Saijo...
[08:50] ---
    I really am grateful
    to have this chance to work with you.
[08:55] ---
    I look forward to working with you
    until this wraps.
[08:59] ---
    You're grateful?
[09:01] ---
    Then I'd better work hard, too.
[09:03] ---
    So you'll continue to feel that way
    to the very end.
[09:13] ---
    Let's work well together, Azumaya.
[09:19] ---
    Huh?
[09:20] ---
    What is this?
[09:24] ---
    My chest.
[09:28] ---
    For the first time,
    I heard the sound of a noisy sky.

[09:43] ---
    He slowly opens his eyes as if exhaling,
    and then I know he'll look at me.

[09:50] ---
    His expressions, and the way he moves his gaze.
    It satisfies all the viewers with his performance.

[09:56] ---
    He gives us what we want.
[09:59] ---
    What we want?
[10:01] ---
    What do I want?
[10:03] ---
    Where does that come from?
[10:06] ---
    This stirring in the pit of my stomach...
[10:09] ---
    What the hell is it?
[10:13] ---
    I like him. That's why I'm with him.
[10:16] ---
    Eventually he won't be able
    to see you or your work anymore.
[10:20] ---
    Even if he can't see...
[10:21] ---
    Even if he can't see, he'll know by touch.
[10:25] ---
    He'll sense me through scent.
[10:27] ---
    Hinata, choose me.
[10:29] ---
    Kosuke, let's stop talking about this.
[10:31] ---
    Be mine. I'll always look at you,
    just as I have all this time.
[10:36] ---
    Wait, Kosuke!
[10:38] ---
    Cut! Azumaya, Natsume, good work!
[10:42] ---
    Good work!
[10:43] ---
    Good work.
[10:54] ---
    Pardon me.
[10:59] ---
    Good work today.
[11:01] ---
    Yeah, good work.
[11:02] ---
    What should I do? It's just the two of us,
    but it'll be awkward if I sit far away from him.

[11:08] ---
    Can I sit next to you?
[11:11] ---
    Go ahead.
[11:12] ---
    He totally doesn't want me there.
[11:20] ---
    This is awkward,
    but maybe I'll ask him about before.

[11:24] ---
    If there's something I've done
    to offend him, I'll apologize.

[11:27] ---
    Um, Mr. Saijo, I—
[11:29] ---
    I like him.
[11:33] ---
    I like him. That's why I'm with him.
[11:35] ---
    - Um, Mr. Saijo?
    - Next line.
[11:38] ---
    From that last scene.
[11:40] ---
    Eventually he won't be able
    to see you or your work anymore.
[11:45] ---
    Even if he can't see...
[11:47] ---
    Even if he can't see, he'll know by touch.
[11:50] ---
    - He'll sense me through—
    - Choose me.
[11:52] ---
    Kosuke, let's stop talking about—
[11:54] ---
    Be mine. I'll...
[11:56] ---
    Hold her gently in my arms...
[11:58] ---
    No, hold her as if I'm stealing her away.
[12:01] ---
    I'll always look at you,
    just as I have all this time.
[12:07] ---
    I'll follow my feelings.
[12:08] ---
    Azumaya.
[12:10] ---
    That was much better.
[12:12] ---
    Much better than just saying the lines.
[12:15] ---
    Instead of thinking it out logically,
    you're more suited to act from your emotions.
[12:20] ---
    Maybe you should learn more about yourself.
[12:22] ---
    About myself?
[12:25] ---
    I swear, you're sitting on a gold mine.
[12:27] ---
    Um, Mr. Saijo. I wonder what it is that I want.
[12:32] ---
    Nothing!
[12:33] ---
    Thank you.
[12:36] ---
    Well, I'm going to take a nap
    until we get to the location.
[12:39] ---
    Right! Good night.
[12:44] ---
    The me I didn't know about
    is slowly being dragged out.

[12:50] ---
    What is it about him?
[12:56] ---
    And action!
[12:58] ---
    Are you okay walking around at night?
[13:03] ---
    You're...
[13:04] ---
    Don't you remember me?
[13:06] ---
    Or maybe you can't see faces now
    from this distance?
[13:11] ---
    You're Kosuke, right? I recognize your voice.
[13:15] ---
    You don't get it, do you?
[13:17] ---
    But I do.
[13:18] ---
    I know that you treasure her.
[13:21] ---
    I know what you want to tell me.
[13:23] ---
    I understand perfectly.
[13:25] ---
    Mr. Amamiya.
[13:26] ---
    The lines, the emotions,
    are coming out of me naturally.

[13:30] ---
    I want to throw everything I have at him.
    More, more.

[13:35] ---
    Mr. Amamiya, regarding her, how do you—
[13:45] ---
    I told you to inspect that!
[13:47] ---
    - I-I'm sorry! Towels! Towels!
    - Are you okay, Mr. Saijo?
[13:54] ---
    I heard a sound.
[13:58] ---
    Azumaya.
[13:59] ---
    In my mind, the sky is roiling.
[14:00] ---
    Why did you...
[14:05] ---
    Why are you cowering like that?
[14:08] ---
    Why do you look at me like that?
[14:09] ---
    What?
[14:13] ---
    Is it because you hate me?
[14:14] ---
    Azu... maya...
[14:21] ---
    Saijo! Azumaya!
[14:23] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:25] ---
    Yes.
[14:27] ---
    I'm not that wet,
    so please take care of Azumaya.
[14:30] ---
    O-Okay!
[14:32] ---
    Sorry. But thanks.
[14:34] ---
    Not at all.
[14:36] ---
    What was I doing?
[14:41] ---
    Okay.
[14:42] ---
    I would give everything to you.
[14:46] ---
    If we hadn't been interrupted,
    I would've kissed him.

[14:51] ---
    Kiss?
[14:52] ---
    No. It wouldn't have been
    anything that gentle.

[14:56] ---
    I've never felt that before.
[14:58] ---
    It was as if I'd become a beast.
[15:02] ---
    For just a moment, he looked scared.
[15:06] ---
    Maybe he hates me again?
[15:13] ---
    This must be what he saw.
[15:17] ---
    The face of a man overcome with desire.
[15:22] ---
    I'm in love with you.
[15:23] ---
    W-Wait, Kosuke.
[15:24] ---
    I can't wait.
[15:25] ---
    I've waited long enough.
[15:29] ---
    Hinata.
[15:31] ---
    That was great!
[15:32] ---
    That was the best of all your scenes together.
[15:35] ---
    Azumaya, what the heck?
    A sudden awakening!
[15:38] ---
    Awakening?
[15:39] ---
    You seem different ever since that last location.
[15:41] ---
    Did something cause it?
[15:49] ---
    Yes, there was something.
[15:58] ---
    Huh?
[16:01] ---
    Mr. Saijo, are you not feeling well?
[16:04] ---
    You're looking a little pale.
[16:07] ---
    No, I'm fine.
[16:10] ---
    I'm glad you have enough confidence
    to worry about my well-being.
[16:13] ---
    But be sure you stay focused.
[16:16] ---
    Right.
[16:18] ---
    But, um, I think you have a slight fever.
[16:30] ---
    Sorry.
[16:31] ---
    No, it's my fault. I apologize.
[16:38] ---
    It hurts. It hurts, but...
[16:41] ---
    that one moment of contact, even with
    that moment of pain, it follows through.

[16:48] ---
    Excuse me. I'm getting on.
[16:58] ---
    About before...
[16:59] ---
    - Yes?
    - Did I hurt your hand?
[17:03] ---
    No, it was nothing.
[17:05] ---
    Oh. Good.
[17:08] ---
    One actor hurting another
    is no laughing matter.
[17:14] ---
    I want to hug his shoulders to hold him up.
[17:16] ---
    But...
[17:18] ---
    But I'm sure he just wants to hurry and get away
    from me, and out of this enclosed space.

[17:26] ---
    Is he really okay?
[17:28] ---
    He seems to be walking normally, but...
[17:32] ---
    Worrying about him too much
    will only put him in a fouler mood.

[17:39] ---
    Mr. Saijo!
[17:42] ---
    Pardon me.
[17:44] ---
    You're a lot warmer than I thought.
    The hospital...
[17:48] ---
    Crap. I only have my motorcycle.
[17:51] ---
    Excuse me. I need a taxi.
[17:53] ---
    The location is the studio in Aoumi.
    Yes, that's right.
[17:57] ---
    Yes. Thank you.
[18:01] ---
    I know you don't want to be touched by me,
    but please endure it for now.
[18:12] ---
    So the desire to treasure someone is connected
    to the desire of wanting someone all to yourself.

[18:18] ---
    Mr. Saijo.
[18:20] ---
    I've fallen in love with you.
[18:23] ---
    I'm sorry. Even if you hate me...
[18:27] ---
    Can I keep liking you?
[18:35] ---
    Oh, there it is.
    Sasaki here. I'm coming in!
[18:39] ---
    Good evening!
[18:40] ---
    Good evening.
[18:42] ---
    I apologize that you went to all this trouble.
[18:43] ---
    No, no trouble at all.
[18:45] ---
    The doctor said that with
    the IV and plenty of sleep, he should be fine.
[18:48] ---
    I wondered what it was about
    when you called my agency.
[18:53] ---
    It must've been tough getting him here,
    carrying a tall man like him.
[18:56] ---
    No, he was light.
[18:58] ---
    I was a little surprised by how slender he is.
[19:01] ---
    Oh, don't tell him that, okay?
[19:04] ---
    He has a complex about how hard it is
    for him to put on muscle.
[19:11] ---
    You can go, Azumaya.
[19:13] ---
    Thank you for tonight.
[19:14] ---
    When Takato wakes up,
    I'll tell him everything you did.
[19:18] ---
    If possible, please don't tell him
    I carried him here.
[19:23] ---
    Are you self-conscious about it?
[19:24] ---
    Yes.
[19:26] ---
    It seems that I've done nothing
    but annoy Mr. Saijo this shoot.
[19:30] ---
    Don't let him get to you.
    He's the one who gets cranky all the time.
[19:34] ---
    Oh, come on.
[19:36] ---
    It's unusual for him to so openly
    treat someone like an enemy.
[19:40] ---
    Maybe that means
    he has great expectations for you.
[19:58] ---
    This pain, heartache, sweetness, and rush...
[20:04] ---
    I probably can't make them vanish.
[20:09] ---
    A motorcycle is no good.
[20:10] ---
    I need to get a car.
[20:12] ---
    So I can give a ride to the person dear to me
    whenever they might need one.

[20:18] ---
    This shoot is almost over.
[20:24] ---
    Okay, please stay like this
    until they call for you.
[20:27] ---
    Roger that.
[20:32] ---
    This is the last day.
[20:40] ---
    No. I won't let it be the last day.
[20:45] ---
    Since meeting you, I've learned
    what it is to truly "want" something.

[20:50] ---
    I'm going to chase you, Takato.
[20:59] ---
    So that the next time we meet,
    we'll be side by side

[21:02] ---
    and I'll be able to express these feelings
    and take you in my arms.

[21:07] ---
    I'll firm my resolve, and start preparing myself
    so I can obtain what's precious to me.

[21:18] ---
    First off, could we have a few words
    from our lead actor, Azumaya?
[21:21] ---
    S-Sure.
[21:23] ---
    I'm Junta Azumaya,
    and I'll be playing the main character.
[21:25] ---
    Even now, I feel like
    I'm going to pounce on you.

[21:29] ---
    I'm sorry, Takato.
[21:31] ---
    I'll do my very best
    and I look forward to working with you!
[21:32] ---
    But I swear...
[21:34] ---
    I'm going to make you mine.
[21:37] ---
    So we start shooting next week.
[21:40] ---
    I look forward to working with all of you.
[21:42] ---
    I look forward to working with you!
[21:48] ---
    All right, let's go.
[21:53] ---
    Mr. Saijo!
[23:25] ---
    Ever since the day I said "I like you,"
[23:29] ---
    I've been more self-conscious than ever
    when we do couple-like things.
[23:34] ---
    It's kind of a problem.
