SIGN Meiji Tokyo Renka
[01:31] Otoyakko
A woman's face changes from day to night.
[01:34] Otoyakko
Make-up is applied lightly, with elegance
during the day so it does not crack.
[01:38] Mei
And at night?
[01:40] Otoyakko
It is done stylishly and alluringly.
[01:44] Otoyakko
Try not to make such an unattractive noises.
[01:48] Otoyakko
Especially from such cherry-red lips.
[01:51] Otoyakko
Behold. You are truly a vision this evening.
[01:56] Mei
This is me?
[02:01] Otoyakko
You refer to guests as "sir."
[02:03] Mei
Other geisha are "onee-san."
[02:06] Otoyakko
You keep smiling even at
unfavorable guests and say...
[02:09] Mei
My, what a terrible jokester you are!
[02:12] Kyoka
Hey, why do I have to do this?
[02:15] Mei
You look adorable, Kyoka-san!
[02:18] Otoyakko
Well now, you've made quite
an incredible transformation.
[02:21] Otoyakko
I'll have to make sure not to be outdone.
[02:24] Kyoka
Stop messing around!
[02:25] Kyoka
I can't do this! There's no way!
[02:27] Kyoka
I can't be some working geisha girl!
[02:29] Otoyakko
Then pay me for the tatami mats.
[02:32] Mei
Well, it's only for tonight, so let's both
do our best to get through it together.
[02:37] Otoyakko
She's right. And besides, all the guests
that will be there tonight are rich,
[02:41] Otoyakko
so if everything goes well, we might
get paid extra on top of our usual fee.
[02:45] Kyoka
Do you ever think about
anything besides money?
[02:48] Otoyakko
They do say that money opens all doors.
[02:51] Otoyakko
In this day and age, being without
money is like being without your head.
[02:54] Mei
You said the guests would be rich...
[02:56] Mei
What kind of people will be attending
the festivities this evening?
[02:59] Otoyakko
This event is called a popular party,
[03:01] Otoyakko
which is a banquet for all the important
people who support Japan.
[03:04] Mei
What? They're really that important?
[03:07] Mei
Oh, no, now I'm getting nervous.
[03:10] Otoyakko
Don't look so glum, silly.
[03:13] Otoyakko
You are my number one student,
[03:15] Otoyakko
so just hold your head high and stand tall.
[03:18] Mei
But what if I mess something up?
[03:20] Otoyakko
You don't need to worry. I will be watching
over you closely the entire time.
[03:24] Mei
That's reassuring.
[03:26] Mei
You're not only beautiful, but you
have such a big heart, Otoyakko-san!
[03:29] Mei
Isn't she just the most
amazing woman, Kyoka-san?
[03:32] Kyoka
Some woman, indeed.
[03:37] Otoyakko
Now then, it is time we were on our way.
[03:40] Mei
Yes, ma'am!
SIGN Electricity of Dreams and Passion
[03:56] Man B
Hey! We're out of sake!
[03:58] Otoyakko
All right, be right with you!
[04:00] Otoyakko
Now then, get to work, you two.
[04:03] Mei
Yes, ma'am.
[04:06] Yakumo
Unbelievable!
[04:09] Mei
I know that voice...
[04:11] Yakumo
I wondered who this beautiful geisha
girl might be, and it's you, Mei-san.
[04:16] Mei
I thought it was you, Yakumo-san!
[04:17] Mei
What are you doing here?
[04:18] Yakumo
I should be the one asking you that!
[04:21] Yakumo
Why are you here? Are you
working as a waitress?
[04:24] Mei
S-Sure, something like that.
[04:27] Yakumo
I see, I see!
[04:29] Yakumo
Either way, you look so beautiful!
[04:32] Yakumo
I truly envy Mori-san!
[04:34] Syunso
What was that about Ougai-san?
[04:38] Mei
You're here too, Syunso-san?!
[04:42] Mei
If Syunso-san is here, that means...
[04:45] Syunso
You don't need to wonder.
Ougai-san is on his way here now.
[04:48] Syunso
Why are you here, and why are you
dressed up like that, anyway?
[04:52] Mei
Well, about that...
Things are kind of complicated...
[04:56] Yakumo
Hum, hum.
[04:57] Yakumo
Am I, Lafcadio, the only one hum-humming?
[05:00] Yakumo
So this is a job you're keeping
secret from Mori-san.
[05:04] Yakumo
Okay. I will help you when the time comes.
[05:07] Mei
T-Thank you so much!
[05:09] Man C
Hey! Hurry up and bring more warm sake!
[05:11] Mei
Yes, sir!
[05:13] Mei
I'm so sorry. I'll be going now.
[05:17] Yakumo
Hum, hum?
[05:19] Mei
It's so crowded in there,
and since I look so different, I'll be able
[05:22] Mei
to get away without running
into Ougai-san if I'm lucky.
[05:26] Ougai
Please pardon me.
[05:28] Mei
I spoke too soon!
[05:31] Otoyakko
Well now, I thought I heard
you out here, Mori-sensei.
[05:34] Ougai
Why, if it isn't Otoyakko,
the most famous geisha in Kagurazaka.
[05:39] Otoyakko
How can you be so formal?
It's not like we're strangers.
[05:44] Ougai
You haven't changed a bit.
[05:46] Otoyakko
Don't you mean to say I'm
as beautiful as ever?
[05:46] Mei
They know each other?
[05:49] Ougai
Is your apprentice there a new addition?
[05:52] Otoyakko
How astute you are.
She is merely in training.
[05:55] Otoyakko
She has struggled her way here
fresh from the countryside.
[05:57] Ougai
Oh?
[05:59] Otoyakko
She is a rather lovely girl.
[06:01] Otoyakko
She has been coming to me
to learn proper etiquette,
[06:04] Otoyakko
so she won't disgrace
the man she cares about.
[06:07] Otoyakko
Isn't it the sweetest thing?
[06:10] Ougai
Proper etiquette?
[06:12] Otoyakko
You there, don't just stand
there all day. Go back inside.
[06:16] Otoyakko
Your guests are waiting.
[06:18] Mei
Y-Yes, Onee-san. Please excuse me, sir!
[06:21] Ougai
She truly is a wonderful young woman.
[06:23] Otoyakko
Isn't she?
[06:25] Ougai
So, are you eventually planning to keep
her close as an apprentice geisha?
[06:29] Otoyakko
Huh?
[06:30] Ougai
You had her come to this party so that you
could assess her suitability, correct?
[06:34] Otoyakko
You are a cunning man.
[06:37] Otoyakko
Frankly, I hadn't thought that far ahead,
but I wouldn't mind if it happened.
[06:42] Ougai
I see.
[06:44] Otoyakko
I can't let a special girl like that go
to waste on a fine man like yourself.
[06:49] Otoyakko
With proper refining, she
could be a shining jewel.
[06:51] Ougai
Do you mean to steal her from me?
[06:54] Otoyakko
That might be entertaining as well.
[06:57] Ougai
Who is the cunning one now?
[07:01] Man A
Hey, I'm out of sake!
[07:04] Man B
Me, too!
[07:05] Mei
Yes, sir!
[07:08] Mei
No matter how many bottles
I bring them, it's never enough.
[07:10] Mei
How much can these men drink?
[07:12] Man B
Woman! Come, sit on my lap and serve me!
[07:15] Mei
Umm, umm, umm...
[07:17] Mei
My, what a terrible jokester you are!
[07:19] Man B
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
[07:22] Mei
H-Huh?
[07:23] Man B
Why do you keep running away?
[07:25] Man B
Come on, come over here!
[07:26] Kyoka
No, don't touch me!
[07:28] Mei
Sir!
[07:30] Man B
What do you want?
[07:32] Mei
You mustn't sexually harass people.
[07:35] Man B
S-Sexual harassment?
[07:36] Yakumo
Allow me to explain!
[07:38] Yakumo
Sexual harassment is a term which refers to
[07:42] Yakumo
extremely ungentlemanly,
disgraceful behavior.
[07:44] Yakumo
Proper ladies and gentlemen should
not partake of such behavior.
[07:48] Man B
Okay, got it.
[07:51] Mei
Thank you so much, Yakumo-san.
[07:53] Man A
The geisha here today are
especially excellent.
[07:56] Man A
How would you two like to
do things with me tonight?
[07:58] Mei
T-Tonight? Now, wait just a minute...
[08:01] Syunso
You there! Please tell
me what's in this dish.
[08:05] Mei
Syunso-san?
[08:06] Mei
Y-Yes, right away.
[08:09] Mei
Pardon me, sir.
[08:12] Mei
This dish?
[08:14] Syunso
I don't actually care about the dish.
[08:16] Syunso
Anyway, you shouldn't get too
close to the drunk ones.
[08:22] Mei
Thank you for getting me out of there.
[08:25] Syunso
Left to your own devices,
[08:27] Syunso
you'd make a careless mistake
with someone important.
[08:30] Mei
Eh, that man is someone important?
[08:33] Syunso
They all are.
[08:34] Mei
Huh. They all just seem like
drunk old men to me.
[08:40] Mei
Kyoka-san's been caught again!
[08:44] Syunso
Do you really need to take
care of him so much?
[08:47] Syunso
Izumi is a man, so he'll be fine.
[08:49] Mei
But Kyoka-san is a germophobe.
[08:52] Mei
It has nothing to do with
being a man or a woman.
[08:58] Syunso
Why do you try so hard for everyone?
[09:03] Mei
Touching is not allowed, sir!
[09:05] Man C
Shut up! Butts exist to be touched!
[09:08] Mei
That's absurd!
[09:09] Mei
But, you see, umm... she...
yes! She is betrothed!
[09:14] Mei
Being betrothed is the
same as having a fiancée,
[09:16] Mei
which is also the same as an intended.
[09:18] Mei
Okay, okay?
SIGN Intended Fiancée Betrothed
[09:19] Yakumo
They all mean the same thing!
[09:21] Man C
Betrothed? Just break it off or something!
[09:24] Mei
What an awful thing to say!
[09:26] Mei
I am of an age where I am
sensitive to words like "fiancée"!
[09:30] Man C
Don't think you're going to get away
with speaking to me like that!
[09:34] Kyoka
I can't do this anymore...
[09:37] Kyoka
Insisting that I break things off
would only be appropiate if I were a geisha.
[09:40] Kyoka
And I'm not even a woman,
let alone a geisha,
[09:43] Kyoka
so you might as well just tell me to die!
[09:47] Kyoka
I've had enough!
[09:50] Man C
P-Perhaps I've had too much to drink.
[09:58] Charlie
Now then, one and all,
[10:00] Charlie
Shokyokusai Ten'ichi would
like a moment of your time.
[10:08] Mei
Huh?
[10:12] Mei
Where have I seen him before?
[10:15] Tosuke
I would like to sincerely thank
you for listening to my wishes
[10:19] Tosuke
and holding a special popular party today.
[10:25] Mei
Who is that?
[10:29] Syunso
That is Iwasaki Tosuke,
[10:31] Syunso
a famous investor and the foremost figure
in electrical generator research.
[10:35] Mei
Electrical generator?
That means electricity, right?
[10:38] Mei
I had no idea there was someone
like that in this time.
[10:42] Tosuke
Before I make my argument,
[10:44] Tosuke
please enjoy a performance by
the greatest magician of the age.
[10:49] Mei
Wait, is that Charlie-san?
[10:53] Otoyakko
Impressive.
[10:55] Mei
You startled us.
[10:56] Mei
What do you mean?
[10:57] Otoyakko
When it comes to negotiating, giving
the other party something first
[11:01] Otoyakko
makes them feel that they, too,
have to give something back.
[11:04] Otoyakko
That man, Tosuke,
[11:07] Otoyakko
will likely get down to business after
everyone has enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
[11:11] Syunso
In other words, he's a pretty shrewd person.
[11:14] Charlie
Now, for all those present,
[11:16] Charlie
in a great magical transcendence
of time and space,
[11:22] Charlie
I will bring forth here
a profoundly mysterious creature
[11:24] Charlie
from the far southern reaches of Egypt!
[11:34] Charlie
Laura-chan, the Bactrian
camel, makes her debut!
[11:42] Ougai
This is absolutely splendid.
[11:44] Mei
Ougai-san!
[11:47] Mei
W-Wait, Ou—
[11:49] Ougai
There is debate about whether their
humps are filled with water or fat.
[11:54] Ougai
I would like to touch them to be sure.
[11:56] Mei
B-Be careful, Ougai-sa— I mean, sir!
[12:00] Ougai
What for? This creature has surprisingly
gentle features, does it not?
[12:09] Mei
Ougai-san!
[12:17] Ougai
Oops. I guess I made her angry?
[12:20] Charlie
She's usually gentle, though.
[12:22] Kyoka
I can relate. Being touched is a pain.
[12:25] Mei
How can you be so calm right now?!
[12:29] Charlie
One must never underestimate
wild animals, I guess.
[12:32] Mei
Hey now, Charlie-san!
[12:34] Charlie
I once brought out an Indian
elephant, and it almost trampled me.
[12:37] Charlie
I'll have to be more careful next time.
[12:39] Mei
I want to trample you right now!
[12:41] Charlie
Eh, what for? As a reward?
[12:43] Mei
Why are you happy about that? You pervert!
[12:46] Charlie
Based on your appearance, you seem
to be fully enjoying this time period.
[12:50] Mei
That's not the issue right now!
[12:53] Charlie
Sorry, but just be a bit more
patient until the full moon.
[12:58] Mei
Until the full moon?
[13:00] Charlie
I know. You wish to get
back sooner, don't you?
[13:04] Mei
No, I'm all right.
[13:07] Mei
I can wait that long.
[13:09] Mei
What? He's gone?
[13:11] Mei
Huh? And the room's cleaned up...
[13:14] Man D
Fukuzawa Yukichi-sensei has arrived.
[13:19] Fukuzawa
Be at ease everyone.
[13:21] Mei
Wait, Fukuzawa Yukichi? The guy
on the 10,000 yen bill?!
[13:24] Fukuzawa
You there, young lady.
[13:26] Fukuzawa
Would you mind also getting
this man something to drink?
[13:29] Fujita
No need.
[13:30] Fujita
I am serving as your
bodyguard at the moment.
[13:33] Mei
Fujita-san!
[13:35] Fujita
You are...?
[13:36] Mei
Welcome.
[13:38] Tosuke
Thank you very much for coming,
Fukuzawa-sensei.
[13:42] Fukuzawa
I came to listen to your important speech,
that concerns the future of Japan.
[13:48] Tosuke
Much obliged.
[13:49] Man A
Iwasaki, is your nonsense
worth listening to?
[13:53] Tosuke
It is not nonsense.
[13:55] Tosuke
Electricity is vital to Japan if we are
to be equals to various countries
[13:59] Tosuke
of Europe and America,
instead of being outdone.
[14:02] Tosuke
Furthermore, it is a well-known fact
that existing gas lamps have problems
[14:06] Tosuke
such as concerns of explosions and of
poisoning from insufficient ventilation,
[14:10] Tosuke
as well as depletion of fuel.
[14:11] Man A
Are you saying that electricity
doesn't have those issues?
[14:13] Man B
Have you forgotten about
those who were gravely injured
[14:16] Man B
because of an electric light
you installed as an experiment?
[14:18] Mei
Eh? People were injured?
[14:20] Tosuke
That is because one of the curious onlookers
inadvertently touched the wire.
[14:24] Man C
So you say,
[14:26] Man C
but even the sparrows and crows who
perched on the wire were not unharmed!
[14:29] Man B
Electricity is the devil's light!
It only curses and kills human!
[14:32] Men
That's right, that's right!
[14:34] Mei
The devil's light? Electricity is a curse?
[14:37] Tosuke
Utterly absurd.
[14:39] Tosuke
I cannot believe these are the opinions of
any self-respecting, knowledgeable person.
[14:43] Tosuke
Mentioning things like curses
in this age of enlightenment...
[14:45] Man A
What do you know!
[14:47] Man A
Besides, the lamplighters who light the gas
lamps are respected by the general public.
[14:51] Man A
Are you going to take away
that honorable position?
[14:53] Man C
And most importantly,
[14:55] Man C
regarding fuel, the cost
of electricity stands out.
[14:58] Tosuke
That is why I am here
asking for investments.
[15:02] Tosuke
I would like you to understand
that it is necessary for us
[15:04] Tosuke
to fund the electrical power business in
order for Japan to overtake other countries.
[15:09] Man A
Don't be ridiculous.
[15:10] Man A
We have more than enough lights already!
[15:12] Tosuke
No, they are not enough to
light the future of Japan.
[15:16] Tosuke
Fukuzawa-sensei, please state your decision.
[15:20] Mei
Even though he worked so hard...
[15:23] Tosuke
Fukuzawa-sensei...
[15:24] Man B
Knock it off, Iwasaki!
Your behavior is unsightly.
[15:26] Man C
Yes, he's right!
[15:28] Man C
Electricity is nothing more
than your silly dream!
[15:31] Men
That's right, that's right!
[15:33] Fujita
Hey, woman, what are you doing?
[15:34] Mei
It is not just a silly dream!
[15:44] Mei
Things would be really wonderful
if we had electricity!
[15:47] Mei
It is a truly amazing thing!
[15:49] Kyoka
Her lack of vocabulary leaves
a lot to be desired.
[15:52] Mei
I mean, with electricity, there are
so many possibilities!
[15:56] Mei
You can completely transform a dark and
gloomy night bright as day right in a flash!
[16:03] Fujita
Halt!
[16:04] Mei
You can easily clean the house without
back pain by just pressing a button!
[16:11] Mei
A shower will always be hot whether
it's spring, summer, fall, or winter!
[16:17] Ougai
La, la, la, la!
[16:18] Mei
You can talk with someone
face-to-face even from far away!
[16:21] Yakumo
Hello there, oh my fair lady!
[16:25] Mei
You can make any changes you like, as
often as you like, to electric drawings!
[16:34] Syunso
Art is an explosion!
[16:37] Mei
There's absolutely no worry about fires, and
there's cooking food, and sterilization!
[16:41] Kyoka
No more germs! What a great world this is!
[16:45] Mei
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
[16:48] Mei
Do all your massages and
beauty routines at home!
[16:52] Otoyakko
This is so nice, this is so nice!
[16:55] Mei
You can travel all over Japan as much as
you want with a limited express train!
[17:01] All
Yay!
[17:02] Mei
Turn on the air conditioner, and it cools
in the summer and warms in the winter!
[17:07] All
Feels so nice!
[17:09] Mei
Anything and everything is at your fingertips!
All you have to do is press a button!
[17:15] Charlie
Electricity is magical, tap-tap-tap!
[17:18] Mei
The thing that makes everyone's life easier,
[17:21] Mei
that would be, that would be,
that would be!
[17:24] All
Electricity, electricity,
electricity, electricity!
[17:27] Mei
What is a friend to us humans?
[17:29] All
Electricity, electricity,
electricity, electricity!
[17:32] Charlie
The future must be a bright one!
[17:35] Mei
You can do anything with electricity!
[17:38] Mei
Now, now, everybody sing it with me!
[17:41] Mei
One!
[17:41] Mei
Two!
[17:42] Mei
Three!
[17:44] All
Electricity is king!
[17:53] Fukuzawa
Wonderful.
[17:54] Fukuzawa
He who will not advance will fall behind,
[17:56] Fukuzawa
and he who will not fall
behind will surely advance.
[17:59] Fukuzawa
Iwasaki-kun, I would be
happy to work with you.
[18:02] Tosuke
Thank you so much, Fukuzawa-sensei.
[18:05] Man D
Now, let's make a night of it!
[18:09] Otoyakko
I thought it might come to that!
[18:11] Otoyakko
Ladies, make sure to work hard
and give them plenty to drink!
[18:14] Otoyakko
Bring out the Denki Bran!
[18:15] Geisha
Okay!
[18:21] Mei
I'm really tired all of a sudden.
[18:23] Tosuke
The electrical power business might actually
be able to continue, thanks to you.
[18:28] Tosuke
I am truly grateful.
[18:29] Mei
Oh, no, I just thought it would
be nice if we had electricity.
[18:33] Tosuke
I had only thought about
lighting things up at night.
[18:37] Tosuke
But it is wonderful that you were
able to think about how it might play
[18:42] Tosuke
into all aspects of people's lives.
[18:44] Mei
Not at all. Lighting things up
is the most important part.
[18:50] Tosuke
What a mysterious person you are.
[18:51] Tosuke
If I had a woman like you by my side,
[18:54] Tosuke
I would be able to keep dreaming
well into the future.
[18:58] Tosuke
Intelligent young lady, I would like
to acquire all the knowledge you have.
[19:05] Ougai
Mei, may I have a moment?
[19:11] Mei
Of course.
[19:14] Mei
Pardon me... Tosuke-san,
was it? I must be going.
[19:20] Tosuke
I cannot believe such a
woman exists in this time.
[19:27] Mei
Has he figured it out?
[19:29] Kyoka
Hey, wait, you!
[19:32] Kyoka
What is it?
[19:33] Tosuke
Ah, nothing.
[19:36] Yakumo
I was deeply moved by the splendidness
of electricity, Iwasaki-san!
[19:40] Tosuke
Oh, thank you.
[19:41] Yakumo
With electricity, I will be able to call
my best friend Fujita-san all the time.
[19:46] Yakumo
I am so emotional about it,
I cannot stop my tears.
[19:47] Syunso
He's a weepy drunk?
[19:49] Fujita
Who are you calling your best friend?
[19:51] Otoyakko
I don't mind a man like that.
[19:54] Kyoka
Huh?
[19:55] Fujita
You there, do something about this drunkard.
[19:57] Otoyakko
Excuse me? You're awfully cocky for a cop.
[19:59] Fujita
Unhand me.
[20:00] Otoyakko
I'm going to melt that stubbornness
out of you today, so get ready!
[20:05] Fujita
Stop it!
[20:07] Kyoka
They're totally drunk, too.
[20:10] Syunso
They did drink quite a bit...
[20:18] Ougai
Is it hard for you to be in the mansion?
[20:20] Mei
Eh?
[20:22] Ougai
It seems I placed quite a heavy burden on you,
[20:24] Ougai
just by calling you my fiancée.
[20:28] Ougai
That led you to find a
place here to devote yourself
[20:31] Ougai
to studying the manners
and etiquette of a lady.
[20:35] Ougai
And to Kawakami-kun.
[20:38] Mei
Kawakami-kun?
[20:40] Ougai
Otoyakko is Kawakami Otojiro-kun.
[20:43] Mei
Huh? Otoyakko-san is O-Otojiro-san?!
[20:48] Ougai
You didn't know?
[20:50] Ougai
Really?
[20:52] Ougai
So I cooked that mochi for nothing.
[20:54] Mei
Mochi?
[20:56] Ougai
Oh, nevermind.
[20:57] Ougai
It was quite unlike me,
but I was a bit concerned
[21:00] Ougai
you might have been taken away.
[21:02] Mei
Huh?
[21:03] Ougai
You really have no idea,
do you, Little Squirrel?
[21:06] Ougai
Just how much power you have
to charm those around you.
[21:11] Mei
I just wanted to find
a way to thank you.
[21:16] Ougai
Thank me?
[21:18] Mei
You saved me at the
Rokumeikan and let me stay
[21:20] Mei
in your home despite
having lost my memories.
[21:28] Ougai
Mei...
[21:31] Ougai
Stay with me.
[21:32] Mei
Ougai-san?
[21:35] Ougai
Stay in my mansion forever.
[21:39] Mei
I want to.
[21:40] Mei
I want to stay there forever.
[21:43] Ougai
Then stay. Stay as long as you like.
[21:46] Ougai
Be it a year or even ten years.
[21:49] Mei
All right.
[21:58] Ougai
Let's go eat the cutlet at
Rengatei, then go home.
[22:04] Mei
Okay.
[22:07] Otoyakko
Come on now!
[22:09] Otoyakko
When you're drunk, it doesn't matter
if you're with a man or a woman!
[22:11] Fujita
I agree.
[22:13] Fujita
I'm going to kill you here, whether
you're a man or a woman.
[22:17] Yakumo
Pwease stop fighting over me!

Come back, Shirayuki.
[23:34] Kyoka
If I can't have that,
[23:37] Kyoka
I'm going to end it here and now!
