[00:01] Tamabukuro
Hey there! I'm Sujitarou Tamabukuro.
[00:03] Tamabukuro
Do you know what a snack bar is?
[00:05] Tamabukuro
What? You don't know?
[00:07] Tamabukuro
You see, a snack bar is a place where
[00:09] Tamabukuro
there's a hostess, a counter,
regulars who come,
[00:11] Tamabukuro
there's booze, karaoke,
and towels are handed to you.
[00:13] Tamabukuro
It's that sort of place.
[00:15] Tamabukuro
Everyone is a friend at the snack bar.
[00:17] Tamabukuro
It's a place where strangers
can bond and be themselves.
[00:21] Tamabukuro
That's what a snack bar is all about.
[00:24] Tamabukuro
I bet, even today, there are
all different kinds of stories
[00:27] Tamabukuro
being born at a snack bar somewhere...
[00:30] Tamabukuro
This is Sapporo. Susukino...
[00:33] Tamabukuro
I mean, Kita-24-Jo.
[00:36] Tamabukuro
A snack bar hidden away in a
quiet place away from downtown.
SIGN Snack Basue
[00:58] Basue
Oh, goodness. It's so hard
to know how to react to western music.
[01:01] Akemi
Do Thai songs count as western?
[01:05] Tatsu
Hey, Akemi-chan, you sing too.
[01:08] Akemi
Leave it to me!
[01:10] Basue
Akemi-chan, you know how to sing this song?
[01:13] Akemi
Yeah! I learned it from Tatsu-ni singing it.
[01:16] Akemi
Okay then...
[01:18] Akemi
Let's get pumped up!
[01:20] Akemi
Swing those towels!
[01:23] Tatsu and Basue
Yeah!
[01:34] Yamada
G-Good evening...
[01:42] Yamada
Well, this is awkward.
[01:45] Akemi
I'm the kind of girl who stops singing when she's in a karaoke booth
[01:47] Sign
Junior Hostess, Akemi
[01:51] Akemi
and an employee walks in.
[01:52] Yamada
Um, you know, I'm the customer, right?
SIGN (Welcome to Basue)
[03:31] Yamada
Um...
[03:34] Basue
I'm the type of woman who
somehow gets embarrassed
[03:36] Basue
whenever she sees a person stop singing.
[03:39] Basue
Welcome in.
[03:42] Yamada
Oh, thank you.
[03:43] Basue
Welcome to Snack Basue.
[03:46] Sign
Hostess (Mama)
Basue
[03:46] Basue
I'm Basue, the hostess.
[03:48] Basue
What's your name, sir?
[03:50] Yamada
Uh, my name is Yamada.
[03:51] Sign
Yamada
[03:53] Basue
Yamada-san, then.
[03:55] Yamada
Um...
[03:57] Akemi
I'm Akemi, the junior hostess.
[04:00] Akemi
Come on over and have a seat here.
[04:02] Yamada
Okay.
[04:05] Yamada
H-Hello. Pardon me. I'll be taking this seat.
[04:08] Akemi
Is shochu okay?
[04:10] Yamada
Could I get a shochu mixed with water, please?
[04:12] Akemi
Sure thing!
[04:13] Akemi
Shochu with water, coming right up.
[04:19] Yamada
Um, he's seriously staring at me!
[04:22] Akemi
Cut it out, Tatsu-ni!
[04:24] Tatsu
My bad, my bad!
[04:26] Tatsu
I usually see old men come here,
so I was surprised
[04:28] Sign
Patron, Tatsu-ni
[04:29] Tatsu
to see someone young walk in.
[04:31] Yamada
I thought you were someone
out of a Western film.
[04:35] Tatsu
Encountering strange men is part
of the charm of snack bars.
[04:39] Tatsu
They call me Tatsu-ni here.
[04:43] Tatsu
Well, it's nice to meet you.
[04:45] Yamada
I'm Yamada. Nice to meet you, too.
[04:47] Yamada
Just go easy on me.
[04:50] Yamada
I'm sorry for being tactless,
but it's my first time at a snack bar.
[04:53] Tatsu
Oh, it's your first time?
[04:56] Yamada
Yes, so I'm not sure how you're
supposed to have fun at a snack bar.
[05:01] Tatsu
Whether it's for Mama
Basue's meals or karaoke,
[05:05] Tatsu
there are all sorts of reasons
why people come here.
[05:10] Tatsu
But I think the number one
reason is the conversations.
[05:12] Yamada
I see.
[05:14] Akemi
Even so, Yamada-san, was it?
[05:16] Akemi
I'm surprised you even came to a
snack bar on the outskirts like ours.
[05:20] Basue
And you're the one working at that
snack bar on the outskirts, Akemi-chan.
[05:25] Yamada
Oh, no, I was placed in charge
of handling our company outing
[05:29] Yamada
and was looking for another potential
place we could go for the afterparty.
[05:32] Akemi
You already look serious,
but have you ever been told
[05:35] Akemii
you're more serious than you look?
[05:37] Yamada
What do you mean?
[05:38] Akemi
Well, why here?
[05:41] Yamada
This place was listed in my town paper, so.
SIGN Sapporo Town Paper
[05:44] Akemi
Hm? What?!
[05:45] Akemi
You came because of this close-up
picture of Mama Basue?!
SIGN Snack Basue
[05:47] Yamada
Oh, no, I just came here because
it was the closest one.
[05:51] Basue
I understand.
[05:52] Yamada
What?
[05:54] Basue
You sensed my motherly instinct
and came to be babied, have you?
[05:59] Yamada
Babied?
[06:00] Basue
You don't have to hide it.
[06:02] Basue
When a young man wanders into a snack bar...
[06:07] Basue
it means that he had a rough day and wants
to be coddled by Mama, isn't that right?
[06:11] Yamada
Um, not really.
[06:14] Basue
My dear customer, I sense that you
often hide your emotions inside.
[06:22] Basue
And you wish to melt that stress
away by sharing it here.
[06:27] Akemi
Yes. We aim to provide a place
where customers can freely talk
[06:33] Akemi
about whatever they want
and enjoy themselves.
[06:38] Basue
That's what being a professional
hostess is all about.
[06:41] Akemi
That is our Snack Basue
[06:44] Akemi and Basue
hospitality!
[06:51] Basue
Now tell me, what's troubling you?
[06:54] Yamada
Um...
[06:55] Tatsu
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
[06:58] Tatsu
Every man has days like this.
[07:02] Akemi
My duty, as a snack bar hostess,
is to somehow
[07:05] Akemi
provide feminine appeal while
listening to customer's problems.
[07:08] Akemi
Now spill it and let me counsel you.
[07:12] Basue
Come on.
[07:13] Tatsu
Come on.
[07:14] Akemi
Come on.
[07:16] Basue; Tatsu; and Akemi
C'mon... C'mon... C'mon... C'mon...
SIGN PEER PRESSURE
[07:19] Yamada
I see...
[07:21] Yamada
This is what they call being pressured
into telling them my problems.
SIGN Atmosphere
[07:25] Akemi
Except!
[07:29] Akemi
Please give us a good one!
[07:31] Yamada
A good one?
[07:32] Akemi
Yes. If the problem is too serious,
we'd be lost for words...
[07:38] Akemi
And, if we're going to counsel you,
[07:39] Akemi
we want to feel a sense of
accomplishment, you know.
[07:42] Basue
So, please give us a good one, okay?
[07:45] Akemi
Please give us something that we can
relate to and easily respond to!
[07:45] Basue
C'mon. C'mon. Hey. Hey. C'mon.
Give it to us already.
[07:51] Yamada
You're placing too much pressure
on the person receiving the advice.
[07:57] Yamada
All right, I'll give it a try.
[08:00] Tatsu
Hey, you're actually playing along.
[08:04] Yamada
I was doing overtime today because
of a mistake my Senpai made...
[08:09] Yamada
And he clocked out at his usual time.
[08:13] Yamada
What should I have done
in a situation like this?
[08:16] Basue
Hm. Hm. I see. You got the brunt of it, huh.
[08:20] Akemi
But your Senpai didn't even feel bad for it...
[08:26] Akemi
Oh, so close!
[08:27] Yamada
What do you mean?
[08:28] Sign
"I had something similar happen to me when I was young.
I had to come in on my day off so it was the worst."
[08:29] Yamada
And what is this?!
[08:30] Sign
"I feel like you're venting more than asking for advice.
I'd rather you ask me for advice instead!"
[08:31] Tatsu
Don't worry. It's a Famitsu cross-review.
[08:33] Sign
"A lot of guys like to complain about
useless senpai at work. Good choice!"
[08:34] Yamada
It's Famitsu?!
[08:35] Basue
Oh, we want something different.
[08:39] Akemi
Worry more!
[08:40] Akemi
Empathize with those who want
to give you advice!
[08:44] Yamada
Do you actually intend to give me any advice?
[08:48] Yamada
Then...
[08:49] Yamada
Recently, I haven't been exercising,
and I'm not sure whether to
[08:53] Yamada
go jogging or just sign up for a gym.
[08:55] Yamada
How's that?
[08:57] Akemi
What kind of situation is that?!
[08:59] Akemi
You should just start with jogging and then
[09:01] Akemi
think about whether you want
to go to a gym or not!
[09:02] Akemi
You're on the same level
as a fatass pondering
[09:05] Akemi
"What kind of diet should I start
tomorrow?" while eating pizza!
[09:08] Yamada
Why are you so egotistical
about this consultation?
[09:11] Tatsu
I'm also pondering whether
I should go to a gym or not.
[09:13] Yamada
What?
[09:15] Tatsu
That has a pool.
[09:17] Yamada
Why is everyone trying to one up my worries?!
[09:20] Yamada
And weren't you just saying "customers can
freely talk about whatever they want"?
[09:25] Yamada
You're dragging it out of me right now.
[09:27] Akemi
Okay, but...
[09:30] Basue
Who remembers what they
discussed while drinking?
[09:33] Akemi and Basue
We certainly don't!
[09:35] Yamada
You said so earlier while posing like that.
[09:38] Yamada
Besides, coming up with a good
situation is really hard.
[09:43] Yamada
Tatsu-ni... -san, do you have any worries?
[09:46] Tatsu
Oh, you called me by my name.
[09:50] Yamada
You're responding like you're
my stepdad or something.
[09:52] Tatsu
Hm.. well.
[09:55] Tatsu
My worries are... hm.
[09:59] Tatsu
Why I'm even coming to a
snack bar like this one?
[10:02] Akemi
Tatsu-ni. You can't mean that. Oh man.
[10:08] Sign
The End
[10:09] Yamada
You can't end it like this!
[10:10] Akemi
Oh, but Tatsu-ni's worries were just right.
[10:15] Yamada
Really?
[10:17] Akemi
Yep, really.
[10:19] Yamada
Aren't you being a bit biased
towards your regular customers?
[10:22] Akemi
That's not true. As proof,
[10:27] Akemi
the booze is going down
smoothly! Very smoothly!
[10:30] Yamada
You look like you can't
go on without drinking!
[10:35] Yamada
You keep asking me, but how about you,
Ms. Junior Hostess?
[10:39] Akemi
Just Akemi is fine.
[10:41] Yamada
Akemi... -san, do you have a good one?
[10:47] Akemi
A good one.
[10:49] Akemi
Well... My worry is...
[10:56] Akemi
the never-ending debt that my previous
previous boyfriend laid on me.
[11:17] Basue
Akemi-chan. Your story violates
the heaviness regulations.
SIGN Too Heavy - Overweight
[11:22] Basue
Disqualification.
SIGN A Few
Days Later...
[11:33] Akemi
Yamada-san, right?
SIGN (Everyone has different tastes)
[11:35] Akemi
I honestly didn't think you'd be
back after what happened last time.
[11:41] Yamada
I was thinking the same, but...
[11:44] Yamada
I figured I shouldn't judge any store
just from a single visit, so...
[11:48] Akemi
You're so earnest.
[11:49] Yamada
I get told that a lot.
[11:51] Akemi
By the way...
[11:53] Yamada
Yes?
[11:54] Akemi
What seasonings do you
put on your fried eggs?
[11:57] Yamada
Huh? My fried eggs? Um...
[12:02] Akemi
Poop?
[12:03] Yamada
Even an elementary school kid would
be disgusted by that response.
[12:06] Yamada
Hm... well...
[12:11] Yamada
I think I'd just use salt and
pepper with my fried eggs.
[12:14] Akemi
Which means
[12:17] Akemi
you've been denied your personality
by all those who use soy sauce,
[12:19] Akemi
and you've gone through
tough times, haven't you?
[12:22] Yamada
No, I haven't.
[12:25] Akemi
Haven't you?
[12:27] Yamada
No, I really haven't.
[12:30] Akemi
Haven't you?
SIGN Haven't you?
SIGN Yes
SIGN No
[12:32] Yamada
Oh, is this one of those conversations
that loop until I say yes?
[12:36] Yamada
But I really really haven't.
[12:38] Akemi
You're just not aware of it and
everyone is laughing behind your back.
[12:42] Yamada
Oh, hey, you just denied my personality.
[12:45] Yamada
Besides, I don't have a preference about
how I eat my fried eggs anyway.
[12:49] Yamada
I just eat it them salt
and pepper out of habit.
[12:53] Akemi
Well, that's normal.
[12:55] Akemi
Getting hyped over food is
like pro wrestling, after all.
[12:59] Yamada
Exactly.
[13:00] Akemi
If there really was a person out there who
denied others over how they eat their food...
[13:05] Akemi
They'd be this.
[13:06] Yamada
Please don't needlessly provoke anyone!
[13:09] Yamada
Anyone who gets seriously angry about food
will also get very angry at gestures like that!
[13:13] Akemi
Don't worry!
[13:14] Akemi
If there was anyone like that,
then they'd really be...
[13:17] Akemi
this!
[13:18] Yamada
That's why it's scary!
[13:19] Akemi
Oh, crap... I'm getting scared now.
SIGN Snack
SIGN Basue
SIGN (Men are...)
[13:33] Akemi
Hey, Morita.
[13:34] Akemi
Don't ya have any interesting
stories to tell?
[13:37] Morita
Look at you, slacking off.
[13:37] Sign
Patron, Morita
[13:39] Morita
Telling interesting stories
is your job, Akemi-chan.
[13:44] Akemi
Of course it is.
[13:45] Akemi
That's why, today, I was hoping to get one
[13:48] Akemi
from you and talk about it
with the other customers.
[13:50] Morita
That's called stealing!
[13:53] Basue
Oh, then why don't I tell you about
the first time I ate a macaroon?
[13:58] Akemi
Don't want it.
[14:00] Akemi
Hey, hey, Morita, huh.
[14:00] Basue
D-D-Don't...
[14:02] Akemi
You've got something, don't you?
[14:06] Morita
Well...
[14:09] Morita
Oh yeah, I have something I bought
that I seriously gotta show you.
[14:13] Akemi
What, what?
[14:18] Morita
This. Time Stop app.
[14:28] Morita
The time...
[14:31] Morita
It stopped.
[14:34] Morita
Is this app for real?!
[14:38] Basue
It was so incredibly stupid that...
[14:42] Akemi
We didn't know
[14:44] Akemi
how to react.
[14:48] Akemi
Morita, really? A time stop app?
[14:51] Akemi
What are you thinking?
[14:53] Morita
Isn't it obvious?
[14:56] Morita
Something perverted, of course.
[14:58] Morita
I'm a boy, after all!
[15:00] Akemi
That's not what I meant.
[15:02] Akemi
Why do you fall for the most obvious scams?
[15:06] Morita
A man's got needs, okay?
[15:09] Morita
I'm a boy, after all!
[15:12] Akemi
Stop acting like you represent all men!
[15:14] Morita
I don't know.
[15:16] Morita
Perverted gadgets like these just
tickle a man's interest, you know.
[15:22] Morita
Speaking of which, these glasses too.
[15:25] Morita
Directly imported from France.
[15:28] Morita
They're x-ray glasses that
let you see through clothes!
[15:39] Morita
Oh man, seriously. I paid a
lot of money to buy these.
[15:46] Morita
Well, they're glasses-shaped garbage,
so it's fine, but...
[15:50] Akemi
You're the garbage.
[15:52] Akemi
Seriously, what's up?
[15:54] Akemi
Are you an enemy of women?
[15:57] Morita
Well..
[15:59] Morita
But you know, they say a woman's
enemy is another woman, right?
[16:03] Akemi
They do.
[16:04] Morita
That means I'm the enemy
of woman's enemy.
[16:07] Morita
So that actually makes me an ally!
[16:09] Akemi
I would never form an alliance with you.
[16:13] Akemi
But I'm starting to wonder
what other garbage you have...
[16:16] Morita
That's my Akemi-chan. You're a good woman.
[16:20] Morita
What I have on hand is a supplement
that could make you invisible.
[16:25] Morita
I wanted to become invisible and sneak
into the woman's bath to take a peek.
[16:28] Morita
But after I took it, I got so sick
that I didn't get a chance to do it.
[16:31] Akemi
You don't think by "invisible",
they mean "dead"?
[16:33] Basue
Morita-chan...
[16:36] Basue
Just because you can't get a woman doesn't
mean you should go to these extremes.
[16:40] Morita
You've got it all wrong, hostess.
[16:43] Basue
What?
[16:45] Morita
Even if I were popular with the ladies,
[16:47] Morita
I'd still get these perverted gadgets.
[16:51] Morita
It's because boys
[16:55] Morita
are innately fascinated by tools!
[16:59] Basue
Hm.
[17:00] Akemi
Continue.
[17:02] Morita
Thank you.
[17:03] Morita
For example, I wonder if you'd understand
[17:07] Morita
the fascination we have
with multi-tool knives.
[17:12] Morita
Even if there are tools that
you think you'll never use,
[17:14] Morita
we buy it, and try our best
to come up with ways to use them.
[17:21] Akemi
What, can a multi-tool knife
be used for erotic purposes?
[17:25] Morita
Even if it is a multi-tool knife,
[17:26] Morita
it's a crime to use a
knife for erotic purposes!
[17:29] Akemi
But every tool you've shown us today
is only good for committing crimes!
[17:34] Akemi
But when it comes to being
picky with your tools,
[17:37] Akemi
I'm also picky about
certain brand-name things.
[17:39] Morita
That's different.
[17:41] Morita
You're just choosing brand-name
things to one up people, aren't you?
[17:46] Akemi
You just slyly slid in an insult.
[17:48] Morita
It's different from that.
[17:51] Morita
It's different from how particular
boys are with tools.
[17:55] Morita
We start with trust in the product,
and then it leads us to the brand.
[18:01] Morita
Gadgets are made to be used!
[18:03] Morita
It's a boy's dream to get a hold of those
superb tools and use them for the purpose of erotica!
[18:08] Morita
The romance in it!
[18:12] Basue
This guy...
[18:13] Basue
He was talking idiotic gibberish
this whole time, and now
[18:15] Basue
he's suddenly started explaining
this clever-sounding theory!
[18:25] Akemi
I understand your fascination
with your tools now.
[18:31] Akemi
But, if that's the case...
[18:34] Akemi
then make sure you give your crotch tool
a proper use once in a while, okay?
[18:45] Morita
You know what.
[18:48] Morita
The maintenance for that tool is...
[18:52] Morita
Really perfect.
[18:59] Morita
I wish...
[19:01] Morita
I could use it for the first time...
[19:08] Morita
Hey, Akemi-chan.
[19:10] Akemi
What's up?
[19:12] Morita
Do you think, maybe,
there's a woman out there
[19:16] Morita
who would choose my tool?
[19:19] Akemi
Yeah.
[19:20] Akemi
There are probably girls out there
with bad taste in tools.
[19:26] Morita
Yeah...
[19:28] Morita
You're right...
[19:37] Akemi
Sing.
[19:38] Morita
You know, I'm really feeling
depressed right now.
[19:40] Akemi
Yeah.
[19:41] Morita
I don't think that's something
you should be telling a
[19:43] Morita
customer who's feeling depressed, you know?
[19:45] Akemi
I'm sick of listening to you talk, though.
[19:47] Basue
Akemi-chan. Your true colors are showing,
[19:50] Basue
and that is unacceptable as
a hostess at this snack bar.
[19:52] Akemi
Personally, I think putting obnoxious
customers in a good mood by making them sing
[19:57] Akemi
is a viable strategy for a snack bar.
[19:58] Basue
You're right. It is viable
for obnoxious customers.
[20:02] Morita
I think you guys should realize that you're
being really rude.
[20:07] Morita
Seriously, I can't take this.
[20:09] Akemi
Says the person who's
scrolling through the songs.
[20:12] Morita
I ain't singing.
[20:14] Basue
Oh, you're one of those
people who takes the remote
[20:17] Basue
even though they have no intention
of singing, aren't you?
[20:19] Morita
It's fun to see what other people
have been singing, though.
[20:23] Basue
Oh, I fully agree on that.
[20:26] Morita
You know, it's been a while since
I heard you sing, Akemi-chan.
[20:30] Morita
I want to hear it.
[20:31] Akemi
What? Me?
[20:33] Morita
I haven't heard you sing in a while.
[20:35] Morita
Please sing for me.
[20:37] Akemi
Ten thousand yen.
[20:39] Morita
I don't know what the ten
thousand yen is for, but...
[20:41] Basue
Morita-chan, you shouldn't
reach for your wallet.
[20:46] Morita
Come on, please?
[20:47] Morita
Please brighten my day with a song.
[20:51] Akemi
Fine...
[20:53] Morita
A song that expresses your love for me, okay?
[20:56] Akemi
There's no song like that.

SIGN While Listening To Olivia
[21:01] Morita
What a corny selection!
[21:02] Morita
You just chose from the rankings, didn't you?
[21:04] Akemi
This is a snack bar,
so corny songs are allowed!
[21:07] Morita
On top of that, isn't this
the song you said you sing
[21:09] Morita
when you think about your old boyfriend?
[21:11] Akemi
I'll think of him while I sing.
[21:14] Morita
Geez, you don't pull your punches!
[21:17] Akemi
But isn't this a song you like?
[21:20] Morita
Well, I do, but...
[21:23] Akemi
See?
[21:30] Akemi
It's my favorite song.
I'm listening to it by myself.
[21:43] Akemi
* Because Olivia soothes my lonely heart.
[21:58] Akemi
Jasmine tea is a medicine
that helps you sleep.
[22:10] Akemi
I want to end the day, in my
own way, on nights like these.
[22:24] Akemi
When we first met,
[22:28] Akemi
I never imagined a day like this would come.
[22:38] Akemi
Making good things better
[22:41] Akemi
No, it's all in the past.
[22:44] Akemi
Time just passed by.*
[22:50] Akemi
You just fell in love with
my illusion, my tired dear.
[23:08] Morita
It's a good song.
[23:10] Basue
Indeed.
[23:11] Morita
I might be in love with your
illusion too, Akemi-chan.
[23:16] Akemi
Don't say something so scary.
[23:18] Morita
Just spend your time with me for now.
[23:20] Akemi
Does that mean you're coming everyday?
[23:22] Morita
I didn't say it to mean that, but if you're
willing to go out with me, I could.
[23:32] Akemi
Well! Here's your jasmine
tea to sober you up!
[23:35] Morita
You're just trying to end this
conversation by making me fall asleep!
[23:39] Morita
Oh! Does that mean you want to sleep with me?
[23:43] Akemi
That's not what the song is about!
[23:45] Akemi
I said it's to sober you up!
[23:48] Morita
What about after you sober me up?!
