[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!
