**[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.*

**[12:55] Baba**
*Okay, here we go.*
**[12:56] Baba**
*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.*
**[13:25] Newscater**
*The deceased is Nerima City resident
Yuki Mitsuya-san, 18 years old.*

I should be waiting in the

**[14:04] Dobu**
*Yeah. Did you see the news?*
**[14:07] Dobu**
Yamamoto the manager
probably won't be coming.
**[14:09] Dobu**
Lucky us. The fewer guys Yano has,
the easier this'll be for us.
**[14:12] Odokawa**
*That's a problem.*
**[14:14] Dobu**
What?
**[14:15] Odokawa**
*Nothing.*
**[14:16] Dobu**
*Right. There is a problem.*
**[14:19] Dobu**
* Yuki Mitsuya's body was*

* I don't have time for that*

**[14:41] Odokawa**
I'm sure you don't.
**[14:42] Yamamoto**
* Can I go now? I have*
* a press conference to attend.*
**[14:45] Odokawa**
I want to confirm one thing.
**[14:46] Yamamoto**
*What?*

Sorry, but you'll be staying

**[15:39] Imai**
I don't care anymore.
**[15:43] Imai**
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,
**[15:58] Imai**
the Yuki Mitsuya-san wearing the mask
was a different person.
**[16:04] Yano**
Today's the day Dobu-san goes down.
**[16:06] Yano**
I'll force him to award me the crown.
**[16:08] Yano**
Scraping by on the boss' opinion of me.
**[16:10] Yano**
Best Christmas ever, this'll turn out to be.
**[16:13] Yano**
The wind's blowing today. It's cold—
**[16:14] Imai**
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.
**[17:16] Nikaido**
I promise I'll come back from this, too.
**[17:20] Baba**
You okay? Sorry I didn't notice.
**[17:24] Baba**
I'm not capable of trying hard.
**[17:26] Baba**
Okay. But don't push yourself too hard. Bye.
**[17:30] Shibagaki**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[17:32] Baba**
Sorry.
**[17:32] Shibagaki**
Let's review our jokes.
**[17:34] Baba**
We just did that.
**[17:35] Shibagaki**
We still don't know which
jokes we're performing.
**[17:37] Baba**
I thought we agreed on the café hideaway.
**[17:39] Shibagaki**
Given the atmosphere, the time
machine bit could be better.
***SIGN*** Loser's Bracket

machine bit. I'll be fine.
**[17:46] Shibagaki**
Don't you care about this at all?
**[17:47] Shibagaki**
If we fail here, we're through.
**[17:52] Shibagaki**
What?
**[17:55] Baba**
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.
**[18:13] Baba**
I get that you like manzai comedy.
**[18:15] Baba**
I know that I'm holding you back, too.
**[18:18] Baba**
So I'm sorry, Shibagaki.
Let's split up, as of today.

"Married Couple Found Inside Car That
Fell Into Sea, Possible Double Suicide?"
**[18:46] Goriki**
"Around 4:15, at Takeshiba
Wharf in Minato Ward,
**[18:51] Goriki**
office worker Kiyoshi Odokawa-san
of Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture,
**[18:54] ---**
and his wife Yumi Odokawa-san,
**[18:56] Goriki**
were found dead inside a car that
had sunk to the bottom of the sea."
**[19:00] Goriki**
"Their son, who is in fourth
grade, escaped on his own,
**[19:02] Goriki**
but is unconscious and
in critical condition."
**[19:04] Goriki**
"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.
**[20:02] Reporter**
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.
**[20:31] Yamamoto**
We cannot regret what happened
more than we already do.
**[20:37] Yamamoto**

Hey.
**[20:58] Odokawa**
I never thought I'd be helping you guys.
**[21:01] Odokawa**
Shouldn't you get in position?
**[21:03] Kenshiro**
Since they moved their hideout,
I'll be following them from the bank.
**[21:07] Odokawa**
I see.
**[21:09] Odokawa**
Where's your best buddy and brother?
**[21:11] Kenshiro**
He hasn't come into work for a while.
**[21:13] Kenshiro**
I noticed something off about his behavior,
**[21:16] Kenshiro**
but I can't believe my meek little
brother is ignoring my calls.
**[21:19] Kenshiro**
Hey, taxi driver. Did you
say something to him?
**[21:24] Odokawa**
Yeah, right. We're on the same
side now, aren't we?
**[21:27] Kenshiro**
When you put it that way, broadly speaking,
**[21:30] Kenshiro**
we've been on the same side

**[21:41] Sekiguchi**
You know what'll happen to you

**[21:55] Goriki**
I was referred to you by Dr. Kato
at Minami Nakano hospital.
**[21:59] Goriki**
My name is Goriki.
**[22:00] 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.
**[23:11] Goriki**
May I take a look at it?
**[23:14] Doctor**
I know you said you're Hiroshi
Odokawa-kun's current doctor,
**[23:18] Doctor**
but it's not meant for a GP like you to see.
**[23:24] Goriki**
I'm not asking to see it
because I'm his doctor.

I'm asking because I'm his friend!
