[01:00] Nikaido
    Since I was a child, I've hated
    losing more than other people do.
SIGN    If We Could Go Back to That Day
[01:04] Nikaido
    My report card described me as "an ambitious
     child overflowing with vitality."
[01:09] Nikaido
    However, we can't avoid losing in life.
[01:12] Nikaido
    Academics, athletics, and arts.
[01:14] Nikaido
    There are limits to all of our abilities,
[01:17] Nikaido
    and there was always someone better than me.
[01:20] Nikaido
    Except in looks.
[01:23] Nikaido
    At 16 years old, I auditioned
    to become an idol.
[01:27] Nikaido
    It was the only time my talent
    would be utilized.
[01:31] Nikaido
    She called herself Yuki Mitsuya.
[01:33] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm sure you'll pass.
    After all, you're exceptionally cute.
[01:36] Nikaido
    She'd been practicing classical ballet
    and gymnastics since she was a child.
[01:39] Nikaido
    She was apparently on a track
    team at the same time.
[01:43] Nikaido
    Her father was prominent
    in a traditional performing art.
[01:45] Nikaido
    That exposure to good taste meant
[01:47] Nikaido
    she had a discerning eye.
[01:50] Nikaido
    She was nothing like me.
[01:51] Nikaido
    She was accustomed to
    being in front of an audience.
[01:54] Nikaido
    She was experienced.
[01:56] Nikaido
    She was my age, and she had worked hard.
[01:57] Nikaido
    She knew defeat. She didn't fear defeat.
[02:03] Nikaido
    I heard that I had passed.
[02:05] Yamamoto
    I'm your manager, Yamamoto.
[02:05] Nikaido
    That well-built man was my manager.
    His name was Yamamoto.
[02:07] Yamamoto
    I believe pushing you girls
    to the top is my mission.
[02:09] Nikaido
    Including me, three of us passed.
[02:11] Yamamoto
    We'll do our best together.
[02:12] Nikaido
    As expected, Yuki Mitsuya passed,
    as well as Shiho Ichimura.
[02:16] Nikaido
    Yamamoto announced that I'd be the center.
[02:20] Nikaido
    Day after day, we attended lessons
    while also attending school.
[02:25] Nikaido
    For the first time in my life,
    I had to work hard.
[02:27] Nikaido
    On top of that, Yuki Mitsuya
    remained on her track team.
[02:31] Nikaido
    It made me angry.
[02:34] Nikaido
    A year and a half later,
    we had our first concert.
[02:37] Nikaido
    I was already 18 by then. I was impatient.
[02:41] Nikaido
    I participated in several events for work.
[02:44] Nikaido
    Comedy duos I'd never seen
    or heard of poked fun at me.
[02:48] Nikaido
    It was humiliating.
[02:49] Nikaido
    I thought they must be losers
    accustomed to defeat.
[02:52] Nikaido
    On the way home from an event,
    I ran into Baba on the train.
[02:57] Nikaido
    I became increasingly annoyed
    with this unsuccessful comedian.
[03:01] Nikaido
    I thought I'd never see him
    again, so I said to him...
[03:04] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Doesn't it frustrate you?
[03:06] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're working tawdry events
    with unknown idols.
[03:09] (Flashback) Nikaido
    How does it feel to see
    your contemporaries and juniors
[03:12] (Flashback) Nikaido
    achieve success before you?
[03:13] (Flashback) Baba
    What a surprise. My partner
    says the same thing.
[03:16] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Doesn't everyone think that?
[03:19] (Flashback) Baba
    At first it frustrated me,
    but I've given up.
[03:23] (Flashback) Baba
    My life is way easier now.
[03:25] (Flashback) Baba
    I'm happy for my contemporaries'
    and juniors' success.
[03:28] Nikaido
    I thought that mentality must
    mean a person was finished,
[03:32] Nikaido
    but I also thought it would be easier
    if I could be that way, too.
[03:40] Nikaido
    For whatever reason, we exchanged
    contact information.
[03:44] Nikaido
    That's when it was decided that
    we'd make our major debut.
[03:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Finally. Our major debut.
[03:49] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Yeah. It's like a dream.
[03:52] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Why did the two of you want to become idols?
[03:56] (Flashback) Ichimura
    My family's poor.
[03:57] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I don't have my own room, so the bath
    is the only place I have my own space.
[04:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I wanna get rich so I can move
    into a place with a big bath.
[04:05] (Flashback) Nikaido
    I see. You'd better work hard, then.
[04:08] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Yeah.
[04:09] (Flashback) Ichimura
    How about you, Mitsuya-san?
[04:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Honestly, I just joined
    to make some memories.
[04:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    But I thought we might be able to
    achieve something amazing
[04:21] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    once I met you, Nikaido-san.
[04:23] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I agree. We're lucky to be in the
    same group as you, Nikaido-san.
[04:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    We'll have to work hard to make
    sure we don't hold you back.
[04:33] Nikaido
    The three of us would rise together.
[04:34] Nikaido
    We'd win together.
[04:36] Nikaido
    I thought it sounded all right.
[04:39] Nikaido
    We had a recording session coming up.
[04:41] Nikaido
    Morale was high.
[04:43] Nikaido
    That's when a producer who had come
    to watch our lesson said it.
[04:47] (Flashback) Producer
    Let's make this girl the center.
[04:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Excuse me.
[04:59] Nikaido
    On October 4th, I asked
    Yuki Mitsuya to meet me.
[05:03] Nikaido
    Come to the agency office.
    I have something important to tell you.
[05:07] Mitsuya
    What? But the trains aren't running.
[05:10] Nikaido
    Take a taxi. I'll pay for it.
[05:14] Mitsuya
    I'm in Nerima. It'll be expensive.
[05:16] Nikaido
    I was about to make a lame request.
[05:19] Nikaido
    I didn't want anyone to see us.
[05:21] Nikaido
    I can try to make excuses for myself,
[05:23] Nikaido
    but I think my desire to kill her
    was already growing by this point.
[05:30] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Mitsuya-san, are you here?
[05:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Mitsuya-san?
[05:45] Nikaido
    Yuki Mitsuya was already dead.
[05:50] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What are you doing?
[05:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Hey, Nikaido.
[05:58] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Did you kill her?
[06:02] Nikaido
    I told him everything.
[06:04] Nikaido
    That I was going to ask her to
    step down from being the center.
[06:06] Nikaido
    That I planned to kill her
    if she didn't agree to do it.
[06:09] Nikaido
    I showed him the messages we'd exchanged.
[06:11] Nikaido
    I told him the truth
    about the events of that day.
[06:14] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Who killed her, then?
[06:18] Nikaido
    I felt the same way.
[06:20] Nikaido
    Apparently Yamamoto believed me.
[06:23] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    We don't have a choice.
[06:26] Nikaido
    After about an hour, Yamamoto
    headed downstairs and let two men in.
[06:31] Nikaido
    A huge thuggish guy and a man
    who spoke in a strange rhythm.
[06:36] Nikaido
    Apparently they knew the agency president.
[06:38] (Flashback) Yano
    Talk about gross, man,
     I don't like this at all.
[06:41] (Flashback) Yano
    I might've grown up on the streets,
    but corpses make my skin crawl.
[06:44] (Flashback) Yano
    Looks like she was bludgeoned,
    then seems like she was choked.
[06:47] (Flashback) Yano
    As a man who wears tailor-made
    suits from Don Quijote,
[06:50] (Flashback) Yano
    that's how I think she croaked.
[06:53] Nikaido
    There isn't much pedestrian
    traffic in that area.
[06:55] Nikaido
    But since it was the middle of the night,
    if anyone saw us, we'd stand out.
[06:59] Nikaido
    I exercised extreme caution.
[07:02] Nikaido
    There weren't even any
    security cameras around.
[07:05] Nikaido
    I'd confirmed that multiple times
    before asking Yuki Mitsuya to meet me.
[07:12] Nikaido
    It was a nightmarish sight.
[07:15] Nikaido
    After this, Yamamoto would have to return
    to the office and clean things up there.
[07:20] Nikaido
    In order to prevent her
    from being found by GPS,
[07:22] Nikaido
    he'd have to take Yuki Mitsuya's phone
    someplace far away and dispose of it.
[07:27] Nikaido
    It was a lot of work.
[07:28] Nikaido
    The rapper explained to us
    what would happen next.
[07:31] Nikaido
    As usual, I couldn't understand
    what he was saying,
[07:34] Nikaido
    but essentially, he wanted to know
    what Yuki Mitsuya did that day.
[07:40] Nikaido
    If she'd told anybody where she was going
    or had been seen by any security cameras,
[07:43] Nikaido
    then we'd have to deal with that.
[07:45] Nikaido
    We'd analyzed her phone, but it would
    be faster to utilize the police.
[07:50] Nikaido
    We'd have her family submit
    a missing persons report,
[07:53] Nikaido
    and find a way to make them withdraw
    it after gathering information.
[07:58] Nikaido
    Apparently the cost of disposing of the body
[08:00] Nikaido
    was half of Mystery Kiss' future profits
[08:04] Nikaido
    and to allow them to use our members
    however they pleased for work.
[08:06] Nikaido
    That was the agreement we reached.
[08:14] Nikaido
    Even after she sank,
    I kept staring at the water.
[08:19] Nikaido
    The sky was beginning to lighten.
[08:23] Nikaido
    Would we be all right? Would it go well?
[08:27] Nikaido
    We were too exhausted to worry.
[08:31] Nikaido
    Several days later,
    Yamamoto introduced us to a girl.
[08:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I'm from Kyushu.
[08:37] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    My name is Sakura Wadagaki.
    Nice to meet you.
[08:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I've explained the situation to her already.
[08:42] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    She'll be working under
    the name Yuki Mitsuya.
[08:45] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Huh? What about the real Mitsuya-san?
[08:49] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    She's missing.
[08:51] (Flashback) Ichimura
    What?
[08:52] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I can't get in touch with her.
[08:54] (Flashback) Ichimura
    But don't you think it's a little soon
    to add a new member?
[08:57] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    You're about to debut. We don't have time.
[09:01] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Except for Nikaido, you'll wear these.
[09:04] Nikaido
    We convinced Yuki Mitsuya's family
    to let us use her name
[09:07] Nikaido
    so that she could resume
    working once she returned.
[09:10] Nikaido
    Until Yuki Mitsuya returned, they'd wear
    masks when out in front of people.
[09:14] Nikaido
    Ichimura accepted that explanation.
[09:17] Nikaido
    I felt bad for her,
    but it couldn't be helped.
[09:20] Instructor
    Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
[09:23] Nikaido
    Everyone must've thought,
    "If only Yuki Mitsuya were here."
[09:27] Nikaido
    I'd crush those thoughts.
[09:30] Nikaido
    I swore I would.
[09:33] (Flashback) Nikaido
    We need to get used to it, so I'm going
    to call you Mitsuya-san. Sorry.
[09:37] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    That's okay. I'm here to be Yuki Mitsuya.
[09:40] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Mitsuya-san, you don't mind
    not using your own face or name?
[09:44] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Not at all.
[09:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    When I failed this audition,
    I refused to accept it.
[09:49] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I went to speak directly with Yamamoto.
[09:51] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    "Lemme in, lemme in, lemme in!" I said.
[09:54] (Flashback) Nikaido
    That's impressive.
[09:56] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I mean, when I failed, they told me
    I was their fourth choice.
[10:01] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Isn't that frustrating?
    I almost made it. I was so close.
[10:05] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You didn't think about
    auditioning somewhere else?
[10:07] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Nah. After all, I heard you had passed.
[10:10] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I knew you'd be famous.
[10:12] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You want to be famous?
[10:14] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I do.
[10:15] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I'm from a single-parent home.
[10:17] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I want to get famous, so my mom
    back in Kyushu can take it easy.
[10:20] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Even though she works, she wakes
    up early to pack a lunch for me.
[10:24] (Flashback) Nikaido
    I see.
[10:26] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I feel like I've always caused
     nothing but trouble for my mom.
[10:28] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I don't have any strengths, you know?
[10:31] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Sometimes I wish I could just disappear,
[10:34] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    but seeing idols on TV cheered me up.
[10:38] Nikaido
    We waited for the right
    moment to hold a concert.
[10:41] Nikaido
    Yamamoto said we received passing
    marks, but I wasn't satisfied.
[10:45] Nikaido
    I'd tasted defeat.
    We could've done better.
[10:49] Nikaido
    "If only Yuki Mitsuya were here."
[10:51] Nikaido
    "If only Yuki Mitsuya were here."
[10:53] Nikaido
    I couldn't escape the thought, either.
[10:57] Nikaido
    That's when the news broke.
[10:59] Nikaido
    "Nerima high school girl goes missing."
[11:02] Nikaido
    Yamamoto spoke with Yuki Mitsuya's
    family, and they submitted
[11:04] Nikaido
    a missing persons report to the police.
[11:06] Nikaido
    Since her father was famous,
    they made sure that her name
[11:09] Nikaido
    and the fact that she was
    an idol wasn't reported.
[11:13] Nikaido
    The police came to the agency.
[11:14] Nikaido
    I assisted with their
    investigation numerous times.
[11:18] Nikaido
    That day, Yuki Mitsuya got in a taxi
    in Nerima, and now she's missing.
[11:22] Nikaido
    They just needed to trace Yuki Mitsuya's
    movements until she arrived at the agency.
[11:27] Nikaido
    The problem was the taxi
    she took back then.
[11:30] Nikaido
    I was afraid of what the driver might say.
[11:32] Nikaido
    She may have been recorded by his dash cam.
[11:35] Nikaido
    It was imperative that
    we identify that taxi,
[11:38] Nikaido
    but that was a job for
    the rapper and Yamamoto.
[11:41] Nikaido
    All we could do was keep
    steadily working on being idols.
[11:46] Nikaido
    Since we gathered some information
    from the police and news reports,
[11:50] Nikaido
    the next step was to withdraw
    the missing persons report.
[11:53] Nikaido
    While investigating Yuki Mitsuya,
    the rapper discovered something.
[11:58] Nikaido
    A connection between Yuki
    Mitsuya's father and a criminal.
[12:02] Nikaido
    Becoming an idol was Yuki Mitsuya's dream.
[12:05] Nikaido
    However, concerned about the connection
[12:08] Nikaido
    between her father
    and a criminal organization,
[12:10] Nikaido
    she believed that at that rate,
    she couldn't become an idol
[12:13] Nikaido
    and decided to run away from home.
[12:14] Nikaido
    That's what we told Yuki Mitsuya's parents.
[12:18] Nikaido
    Eventually, the missing persons
    request was quietly withdrawn.
[12:23] Nikaido
    I returned to my everyday life.
[12:25] Nikaido
    Did anybody see us?
[12:27] Nikaido
    What if somebody already knows?
[12:29] Nikaido
    What if someone taps me on the shoulder
    from behind while I'm walking around?
[12:32] Nikaido
    My heart palpitations worsened.
    I began breathing heavily.
[12:36] Nikaido
    I couldn't stop sweating.
    My hands shook. I wanted to scream.
[12:41] Nikaido
    I wished desperately to turn back time.
[12:43] Nikaido
    Then I returned to my everyday life again.
[12:46] Nikaido
    Perhaps I'd repeat this cycle
    for the rest of my life.
[12:51] Nikaido
    I thought I'd lose my mind.
[12:52] Baba
    Wait, don't say it yet. There are rules.

    Hey, what's for lunch?
[12:56] Nikaido
    It was Baba who supported me.
[12:59] Nikaido
    I hadn't told him anything, of course.
[13:02] Nikaido
    I was simply saved by his existence.
[13:05] Nikaido
    He was my only comfort.
[13:07] Nikaido
    I hated to lose, and his way
    of living permitted that.
[13:11] Nikaido
    It was okay if I lost. Of course,
    it was okay if I won, too.
[13:14] Nikaido
    It didn't matter, either way.
[13:16] Nikaido
    I could believe that.
[13:17] Nikaido
    I wanted to make him happy.
[13:20] Nikaido
    Winter came. It came suddenly.

    Right. There is a problem.
[14:19] Dobu
    Yuki Mitsuya's body was

    It's possible that they've moved.

    The concert's been canceled.
[15:45] Imai
    They're not releasing their CD.
[15:48] Imai
    I can't believe Yuki Mitsuya-san is dead.
[15:52] Imai
    When I first saw her in concert,
    I thought she was such a good dancer.
[15:57] Imai
    Now that I think about it,

    was a different person.

    Excuse me...
[16:15] Yano
    Hey country bumpkin, shut your face!
[16:16] Yano
    It's my turn right now, know your place.
[16:18] Yano
    But I guess there's no need
     for me to be screaming.
[16:20] Yano
    I could say you're my patron,
    in a manner of speaking.
[16:22] Yano
    Sentimentality aside,
    what is it you're seeking?
[16:26] Imai
    Could you put on Mystery
    Kiss's press conference?
[16:42] Yamamoto
    This isn't good. That taxi driver
    remembers Wadagaki's face.
[16:46] Nikaido
    Of course he does.
[16:48] Yamamoto
    Is there any way we can
    put a positive spin on it?
[16:51] Yamamoto
    If the world finds out that
     we tried to cover it up...
[16:54] Yamamoto
    We're just starting to taste success, too.
[16:56] Nikaido
    I'm sure some of the five guys who attended
    our first concert remember her, too.
[17:00] Nikaido
    It's just not possible.
[17:01] Yamamoto
    You're right.
[17:06] Nikaido
    Hello?
[17:08] Nikaido
    Yeah, I'm fine. I'll do my best.
[17:12] Nikaido
    Yeah.
[17:13] Nikaido
    Good luck with the loser's bracket.

[17:32] Baba
    Sorry.

[17:34] Baba
    We just did that.

    We still don't know which

    You're the one who'll be
    in trouble if we split up.
[17:57] Shibagaki
    Hey, Baba. You've gotten awfully puffed up.
[18:01] Baba
    You used to be funnier.
[18:03] Baba
    I can't watch you fall apart.
[18:05] Baba
    You think all the movies,
    TV shows, and comedians
[18:07] Baba
    that are popular these days aren't funny.
[18:08] Baba
    You're the one who's out of touch.

    I get that you like manzai comedy.
[18:15] Baba

    of Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture,

    "The police are investigating the
    possibility of a forced double suicide."
[19:13] Yamamoto
    I'm sorry for all the trouble we've caused.
[19:22] Yamamoto
    We've been unable to conceal our shock
[19:25] Yamamoto
    since we learned that Yuki
    Mitsuya was found dead.
[19:29] Yamamoto
    In October, Yuki Mitsuya's
    mother contacted us
[19:32] Yamamoto
    to tell us that her daughter
    hadn't returned home.
[19:35] Yamamoto
    We did everything we could to help look
    for her, but failed to locate her.
[19:40] Yamamoto
    Also, as Mystery Kiss
    was set to debut soon,
[19:45] Yamamoto
    we had another girl who auditioned
    take Yuki Mitsuya's place.
[19:53] Yamamoto
    Ultimately, that meant we deceived
    the world and those involved,
[19:59] Yamamoto
    and for that, we are terribly sorry.

    I've heard the police are
    investigating this case as a murder.
[20:05] Reporter
    Do you have any idea what happened to her?
[20:08] Yamamoto
    Well, she was underpaid
    before the group debuted.
[20:15] Yamamoto
    I believe she promoted
    herself on social media
[20:17] Yamamoto
    and may have been close with fans as well.
[20:19] Reporter
    You mean she was killed by a fan?
[20:22] Yamamoto
    No, I'm just saying that's a possibility.
[20:26] Yamamoto
    We take responsibility for failing to protect
    her privacy and provide adequate security.

    My name is Goriki.

    I'd like to ask you about Hiroshi Odokawa.
[22:04] Doctor
    Hiroshi Odokawa-kun was my patient.
[22:08] Goriki
    Could you describe to me
    what he was like then?
[22:11] Doctor
    He spent about two months
    here in the hospital.
[22:14] Doctor
    He was supposed to continue
    outpatient rehabilitation after that,
[22:19] Doctor
    but the courthouse told us
    that a benefactor had shown up,
[22:22] Doctor
    and he'd moved to Tokyo.
[22:24] Doctor
    We don't know what
    happened to him after that.
[22:26] Goriki
    How was his mental state after the accident?
[22:30] Doctor
    He had absolutely no memory of the accident.
[22:33] Doctor
    We observed no problems with his basic
    motor functions and language abilities,
[22:38] Doctor
    so we had him keep a memory notebook
    to work on his mental recovery.
[22:43] Doctor
    His mental condition seemed stable to us.
[22:46] Goriki
    Tell me more about this memory notebook.
[22:48] Doctor
    He recorded the rules for life
    at the hospital, his medications,
[22:51] Doctor
    his bathing schedule, and other
    information pertaining to himself.
[22:55] Doctor
    It was like a diary.
[22:57] Goriki
    What impression did you get
    from reading the notebook?
[23:00] Doctor
    I thought he was a strange child.
[23:04] Goriki
    Do you have that notebook?
[23:05] Doctor
    Yes.
[23:06] Doctor
    Since you said you'd be coming,
    I read it for the first time in 30 years.

    May I take a look at it?
