**[00:24] Ad**
Great work, everyone!
**[00:26] Kei**
Great work.
**[00:26] Ad**
Kunieda-san, I'm so sorry!
**[00:29] Ad**
That news flash script
I gave you was a page short!
**[00:32] Kei**
That's all right.
**[00:33] Kei**
The show still went on just fine.
**[00:36] Kei**
It just surprised me, is all.
You didn't hear my voice crack?
**[00:39] A**
Not at all! You sounded great, as usual!
**[00:41] Kei**
Then all's well that ends well.
**[00:43] Kei**
See you tomorrow.
**[00:44] Ad**
See you tomorrow!
**[00:48] Kei**
* These stupid assholes don't have*
* a goddamned clue what they're doin'!*
**[00:52] Kei**
*This studio's staffed with incompetents.*
***SIGN*** Yes, No, or Maybe?
**[01:06] Loc**
Here's tomorrow's on-location script
and subject dossier.
**[01:08] Loc**
Sorry it's so late.
**[01:10] Kei**
Not at all.
**[01:12] Kei**
Thank you so much.
**[01:13] Kei**
*You* better *be sorry!*
**[01:14] Kei**
* You're always handin' your crappy*
* scripts in at the last minute!*
**[01:17] Kei**
*Incompetent!*
**[01:18] Kei**
I'm interviewing an animator, then?
**[01:21] Loc**
Yeah, he's doing the new
opening for *The News*.
**[01:24] Loc**
Not sure why we need to
do a story on it, personally...
**[01:27] Kei**
It's all hands on deck for
the show's renewal, I suppose.
***SIGN*** Asuo Keiichi is reinventing the nightly news.
**[01:31] Loc**
Our producer, Shitara-san, really does
like arranging things, doesn't he?
**[01:34] Loc**
The interviewee's a great guy,
though. No worries.
**[01:37] Kei**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[01:52] Kei**
*"Newscaster" is a curious occupation.*
**[01:57] Kei**
*You're on TV, so you're a bit like a celebrity,*
**[02:00] Kei**
*but status-wise, you're a cog in a machine.*
**[02:03] Kei**
* You can collect a good paycheck*
* without selling yourself constantly,*
**[02:07] Kei**
*but as long as you're on TV,*
**[02:09] Kei**
* you have to refrain from activities*
* that might turn the viewers against you.*
**[02:15] Kei**
*But, look...*
**[02:17] Kei**
* Sometimes I wanna thumb through the*
* trashy mags at the convenience store,*
**[02:20] Kei**
* or buy just 100 grams of pre-prepared meals*
* at the department store grocery,*
**[02:23] Kei**
* or clap back at a taxi driver*
* who's mouthing off at me.*
**[02:28] Kei**
* If I had to always keep on*
* my newscaster face,*
**[02:31] Kei**
*holding back on all those little things...*
**[02:34] Kei**
*I'd suffocate and die.*
**[02:37] Kei**
* I spend time as this almost*
* sus-looking character*
**[02:42] Kei**
* to let out all the stress*
* "Kunieda Kei" can't.*
**[02:48] Kei**
* The brief minutes I spend like this*
* are a precious breath of fresh air.*
**[02:54] Kei**
I'm droolin' here!
**[02:57] Kei**
Time to dig in!
**[03:00] Kei**
So good!
**[03:05] Cas**
* Good evening. I'm News*
* Network Broadcaster Aidawara.*
**[03:08] Cas**
* A quick report on the shark*
* found in Yodogawa, Osaka.*
**[03:11] Cas**
* We have a reporter on scene.*
* Okehazama-san, over to you.*
**[03:13] Cas**
*This is Okehazama here in Yodogawa.*
**[03:20] Kei**
Better review that stuff, I guess.

***SIGN*** Tsuzuki
**[04:55] Ushi**
Hey.
**[04:57] Loc**
Good morning, Tsuzuki-san.
**[04:59] Loc**
We're very sorry to wake you.
**[05:00] Kei**
*This jerk!*
**[05:01] Ushi**
I really am sorry.
I thought it was tomorrow.
**[05:02] Kei**
* Who does he think he's fooling*
* with that yawning act?*
**[05:05] Loc**
Oh, no! Didn't they call you yesterday?
**[05:06] Kei**
*We freakin'* told you *when
the interview was scheduled!*
**[05:08] Ushi**
Do I have time to wash up and change?
**[05:08] Kei**
*Even if you're not gonna have tea prepared,*
**[05:10] Kei**
*at least be waitin' like a proper adult!*
**[05:10] Loc**
We'll get some exterior shots.
**[05:13] Loc**
Is it all right if Kunieda waits inside?
**[05:16] Ushi**
Sure.
**[05:17] Loc**
Oh, this is Kunieda.
He'll be handling the interview.
**[05:21] Loc**
He's our secondary newscaster
for *Evening File*.
**[05:24] Kei**
A pleasure. I'm Kunieda Kei.
**[05:27] Kei**
Let's have a great interview.
**[05:29] Ushi**
Hey.
**[05:30] Kei**
I'll do my best to make it good, so—
**[05:32] Ushi**
Just do whatever.
**[05:34] Ushi**
I'm sure you've got better things to do.
**[05:35] Ushi**
I don't have a lot of time
for cameras, either.
**[05:38] Ushi**
I'm on a deadline, after all.
**[05:41] Kei**
*Yeah, right! "Great guy," my ass!*
**[05:53] Kei**
Is it all right that I put my things there?
**[05:57] Ushi**
Go ahead.
**[06:00] Kei**
Do you handle all the work yourself?
**[06:02] Ushi**
No money for assistants.
**[06:05] Kei**
*Yeah, I'll bet!*
**[06:07] Kei**
That must be hard.
**[06:08] Ushi**
Nah, I'm grateful just to be able
to make a living doing it.
**[06:12] Ushi**
I'm getting paid for my hobby, more or less.
**[06:16] Kei**
*Good on you for getting it!*
**[06:18] Kei**
* Creators are always up their asses*
* about how important they are...*
**[06:22] Ad**
Tsuzuki-san, are you ready?
**[06:25] Ad**
We'd like to get some footage
of you in the studio, first.
**[06:28] Ushi**
Sure thing.
**[06:29] Ad**
If there's anything you don't want
on-camera, feel free to hide it.
**[06:33] Ushi**
There's not.
**[06:35] Kei**
*Oh, hey... he can be kinda chill, too.*
**[06:38] Kei**
*He should do that more oft—*
**[06:41] Loc**
You idiot!
**[06:42] Ad**
I'm sorry!
**[06:43] Loc**
Darn it...
***SIGN*** Japanese Pronunciation Inflection Dictionary
**[06:45] Ad**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[06:46] Kei**
Are you all right?
**[06:47] Ad**
Kunieda-san... I'm so sorry.
**[06:49] Kei**
Really, it's nothing.
**[06:50] Kei**
*Damn klutz!*
**[06:52] Kei**
You weren't hurt?
**[06:54] Ad**
No... I'm so sorry.
**[06:58] Kei**
What is it?
**[07:00] Ushi**
Oh... nothing—
**[07:02] Loc**
Okay, let's get rolling!
**[07:04] Staff**
Sure!
**[07:06] Kei**
* Crap! The nightly roundtable*
* is about to start!*
**[07:09] Kei**
*How could I have forgotten to tape it?*
**[07:13] Kei**
* Asuo-san is moderating,*
* so I can't afford to—*
**[07:20] Kei**
That was close!
**[07:22] Kei**
Oh, crap!
**[07:25] Kei**
Thank goodness... it's intact.
**[07:27] Ushi**
Hey!
**[07:29] Ushi**
You bastard...
**[07:30] Ushi**
You just leap out into the road,
**[07:32] Ushi**
and your first concern is your damned food?!
**[07:35] Kei**
* Oh, please. You're unscathed*
* enough to bitch about it...*
**[07:38] Ushi**
Hey! You're not going anywhere!
**[07:40] Kei**
Let me go, you—
**[07:46] Ushi**
Ow...
**[07:48] Kei**
*Tsuzuki... Ushio?*
**[07:53] Kei**
*Don't worry.*
**[07:54] Kei**
*He won't know you're Kunieda Kei.*
**[07:56] Ushi**
What's your problem, anyway?
**[07:59] Ushi**
C'mon, help me get my bike up!
**[08:02] Ushi**
My hand hurts and feels stiff.
**[08:05] Ushi**
I think you bent the frame...
**[08:07] Kei**
How much do you want?
**[08:10] Kei**
For the bike and
the treatment for your hand.
**[08:12] Kei**
Hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?
Name your price.
**[08:15] Kei**
I can cover it.
**[08:17] Kei**
Look, I'm in a hurry!
**[08:19] Ushi**
You're in a hurry, so you can
just ignore the light?
**[08:22] Kei**
I didn't ignore the light.
**[08:24] Kei**
It was green!
**[08:27] Kei**
There're no cameras set up,
and no other witnesses.
**[08:30] Kei**
So it's your word against mine.
**[08:33] Kei**
Just let me pay to fix—
**[08:37] ---**
Ow!
**[08:37] ---**
Ow! That hurt me, too, dumbass!
**[08:41] Ushi**
You made me use my injured hand...
**[08:43] Kei**
What's wrong with you?!
**[08:44] Ushi**
Who in the world raised you?!
**[08:46] Ushi**
Why wasn't "I'm sorry" the first
thing outta your mouth?!
**[08:50] Ushi**
Only trash can't manage
a simple "thanks" or "sorry"!
**[08:55] Kei**
My bad.
**[08:56] Ushi**
You little...
**[08:57] Ushi**
I'll wallop you with my good hand this time!
**[09:01] Ushi**
Darn it...
**[09:02] Ushi**
Look. Help me walk the bike, would you?
**[09:05] Ushi**
My foot hurts, too.
**[09:07] Kei**
Fine...
**[09:18] Ushi**
I see your bag.
**[09:22] Ushi**
The gyudon at Sudo-tei is pretty great, huh?
**[09:26] Ushi**
The... broth, sauce,
whatever you'd call it...
**[09:29] Ushi**
It's been different lately, right?
**[09:30] Kei**
I hear you.
**[09:33] Kei**
They changed the ratio of sugar
and soy sauce slightly.
**[09:35] Ushi**
Right?
**[09:37] Ushi**
Do you eat it in?
**[09:38] Kei**
Take-out only.
**[09:40] Ushi**
I sometimes eat in,
but their beer is the worst.
**[09:46] Kei**
Beer is the same everywhere.
**[09:48] Ushi**
Hard disagree!
**[09:49] Ushi**
The head's totally run down
by the time it reaches the table.
**[09:53] Ushi**
I don't know if the pourer sucks at
his job or the server is slow or what...
**[09:59] Ushi**
Feelings on yakitori?
**[10:00] Kei**
Positive.
**[10:01] Ushi**
Tanmi-ya behind the post office
has the good stuff.
**[10:06] Kei**
Do they do take-out?
**[10:07] Ushi**
Heck yeah, they do!
**[10:12] Ushi**
That's cold!
**[10:16] Kei**
Well, bye.
**[10:17] Ushi**
Wait, hang on!
**[10:19] Kei**
What now?
**[10:20] Ushi**
We're not done yet!
**[10:22] Ushi**
By the way, why aren't you asking?
**[10:25] Kei**
About what?
**[10:26] Ushi**
About all the stuff I have lying around...
**[10:28] Ushi**
Aren't you curious about who I really am?
**[10:31] Kei**
*I already know, stupid!*
**[10:33] Kei**
No interest.
**[10:34] Ushi**
I don't think it's about interest...
**[10:37] Ushi**
Ah, well.
**[10:38] Ushi**
I make videos.
**[10:41] Ushi**
I create everything by hand.
**[10:43] Ushi**
And I just got a big contract which
I'm in the middle of planning out.
**[10:47] Ushi**
I'm even getting TV interviews about it.
**[10:51] Ushi**
A disabled left hand is really
going to set me back.
**[10:54] Ushi**
So you should take some responsibility
and help me for a while.
**[10:58] Kei**
No way.
**[10:59] Ushi**
Are you really in a position to refuse?
**[11:00] Kei**
I already told you I'd pay!
**[11:02] Kei**
Get yourself a part-timer or something!
**[11:04] Ushi**
Always money, money, money...
**[11:06] Ushi**
Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?
**[11:08] Kei**
Hell no!
**[11:10] Kei**
Let's get this straight.
**[11:12] Kei**
I'm not a millionaire or anything!
**[11:14] Kei**
I'm working my ass off all the damn time,
**[11:17] Kei**
trying to make as much money as I can!
**[11:19] Kei**
And I wanna use that money
to take responsibility!
**[11:21] Kei**
I guess you think that's wrong, huh?!
**[11:23] Kei**
But I'm not one bit ashamed!
**[11:29] Kei**
What now?
**[11:30] Ushi**
Well, you've got a point!
**[11:33] Ushi**
You're a pretty convincing person, you know.
**[11:37] Kei**
Don't expect me to celebrate.
**[11:38] Ushi**
What's your name?
**[11:41] Ushi**
Your name.
**[11:43] Ushi**
I'm Tsuzuki.
**[11:46] Kei**
*I didn't think that far ahead...*
**[11:48] Kei**
*A name... just make up a name...*
**[11:51] Kei**
*If he's "Tsuzuki..."*
**[11:54] Kei**
Owari.
**[11:55] Ushi**
Wow, Owari?
**[11:58] Ushi**
Tsuzuki, continuation... and Owari, ending...
**[11:59] Ushi**
They're kind of close. Or maybe not, huh?
**[12:03] Ushi**
What's your first name?
**[12:04] Owa**
Why do you care?
**[12:06] Ushi**
Well, fair enough.
**[12:08] Ushi**
Tomorrow night, come by for two hours.
**[12:11] Ushi**
You can pick the time yourself.
**[12:14] Owa**
Did you hear what I said?
**[12:16] Ushi**
Seriously, the job isn't hard.
**[12:19] Owa**
*Wait just a damn minute!*
**[12:20] Ushi**
You're an interesting guy.
**[12:23] Ushi**
It'd be a shame to let things end like this.
**[12:25] Owa**
*No, let's end it!*
**[12:27] Owa**
*I named myself "ending" for a reason, dude!*
**[12:29] Ushi**
I'll pay you a bit, too.
**[12:31] Owa**
How much?
**[12:32] Ushi**
How about a bowl of gyudon per day?
**[12:36] Owa**
Cheap-ass...
**[12:39] Ushi**
See you tomorrow.
**[12:40] Owa**
Will not.
**[12:42] Owa**
I ain't comin', got it?
**[12:45] Owa**
I ain't, got it?
**[12:48] Owa**
I ain't comin'!
**[12:50] Owa**
No way in hell am I comin'!
***SIGN*** Tsuzuki
**[12:54] Ushi**
Hey!
**[12:57] Owa**
I left my gyudon here last night.
**[13:00] Ushi**
I ate it.
**[13:03] Owa**
Thief!
**[13:08] Owa**
What's this stuff?
**[13:09] Ushi**
I'm making an animation for
the opening of a news program.
**[13:14] Owa**
*Tell me somethin' I don't know!*
**[13:16] Ushi**
I wanted to create a scene like
the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
**[13:21] Owa**
You're a masochist.
**[13:22] Ushi**
I want you to paint them.
**[13:24] Owa**
Hell no!
**[13:25] Ushi**
Just paint them however
you think looks best.
**[13:29] Owa**
So I can paint their faces green?
**[13:31] Ushi**
Do what you like, within reason.
**[13:33] Ushi**
When it's done, you'll
be able to brag about it.
**[13:35] Ushi**
"I'm the one who painted that!"
**[13:38] Owa**
Who'd brag about that?
**[13:40] Owa**
*I'm already on TV plenty!*
**[13:42] Ushi**
Boy, my hand hurts...
**[13:45] Ushi**
They said it was a strain.
It'll take two or three weeks to heal!
**[13:49] Ushi**
Dunno what'll happen
if I miss my deadline...
**[13:52] Ushi**
The client's a TV station, after all...
**[13:54] Ushi**
I might be blacklisted from the industry!
**[13:57] Ushi**
I might even get fined
for breach of contract!
**[14:01] Owa**
Fine! I'm doin' it, already!
**[14:08] Owa**
What? I'm not taking revisions.
**[14:10] Ushi**
Actually, I'm impressed.
**[14:12] Ushi**
You took it more seriously than I expected.
**[14:15] Owa**
What?
**[14:16] Ushi**
A person's personality
comes out in their work.
**[14:19] Ushi**
More than they ever realize.
**[14:22] Ushi**
You're a fast learner,
you're smart, and you're quick.
**[14:27] Ushi**
But despite your insistence,
you did a proper coloring job.
**[14:30] Ushi**
You're surprisingly honest. Timid, even.
**[14:33] Owa**
You said to do it "within reason"!
**[14:36] Ushi**
Even so, you still did it correctly.
**[14:39] Ushi**
You're an honest guy, for better or worse.
**[14:42] Ushi**
From the way you act,
I thought you'd be more of a troll.
**[14:46] Ushi**
Keep up the good work!
**[14:47] Owa**
*He pisses me off!*
**[14:49] Owa**
* Don't act like you know me!*
* We only met yesterday!*
**[14:53] Owa**
* And his certainty about it*
* pisses me off even more!*
**[14:56] Owa**
* You ain't even seen through*
* my disguise, loser!*
**[14:58] Ushi**
Kunieda Kei.
**[15:00] Ushi**
He's a newscaster... ever heard of him?
**[15:03] Kei**
*Is he trying to set me up?*
**[15:05] Ushi**
I had an interview with him recently.
**[15:08] Ow**
Oh?
**[15:10] Ow**
*Seriously, what's he playing at?*
**[15:12] Ushi**
I was rude to him.
**[15:15] Ushi**
I had a separate TV interview before him.
**[15:19] Ushi**
A newscaster around the same age came by.
**[15:22] Ushi**
He was all smiles at first.
**[15:25] Ushi**
But when I left for a second,
he started shouting insults at the PA,
**[15:30] Ushi**
and even kicked him really hard...
**[15:32] Ushi**
When I got back, he was all smiles again.
**[15:36] Ushi**
I could feel my skin crawl in disgust.
**[15:40] Ushi**
It made me remember the people who
treated me like vermin when I started out
**[15:45] Ushi**
who suddenly changed their tune
the moment I made a name for myself.
**[15:53] Ushi**
I realized I still held a grudge,
**[15:56] Ushi**
and I was so annoyed at my own
pettiness that I couldn't work.
**[16:00] Ushi**
I went to sleep in a huff,
and then Kunieda-san came by.
**[16:05] Ushi**
I was convinced he'd be abusing
his underlings in private, too.
**[16:09] Ushi**
I was brusque with him.
**[16:11] Ushi**
But a PA knocked over his bag,
and Kunieda-san smiled at him.
**[16:17] Ushi**
He even asked if he was okay!
**[16:20] Ushi**
With that well-worn, dog-eared
inflection guide in his hand...
**[16:23] Owa**
* You bought that act, huh?*
* Wow, what a simpleton!*
**[16:26] Ushi**
I think he actually works really hard.
**[16:30] Ushi**
But I treated him badly due to
my own foolish prejudice.
**[16:35] Ushi**
I'm supposed to see him again,
**[16:37] Ushi**
but I'm not sure he'll
forgive me if I apologize.
**[16:39] Owa**
You're such an asshole.
**[16:41] Owa**
If the only reason you
apologize is to be forgiven,
**[16:43] Owa**
you shouldn't bother.
**[16:45] Owa**
It means you're not really serious.
**[16:48] Ushi**
Surprisingly sound advice
from a scoundrel like you.
**[16:51] Owa**
Shut up!
**[16:52] Ushi**
You're right, though.
**[16:54] Ushi**
I should apologize, regardless.
**[16:57] Loc**
Okay, cut! We're all clear.
**[17:00] Pa**
Great work!
**[17:01] Ushi**
I'm sorry.
**[17:01] Pa**
Okay!
**[17:03] Ushi**
I was rude to you before.
**[17:06] Ushi**
I had my reasons, but I shouldn't
have taken it out on you.
**[17:10] Ushi**
At any rate, I'm sorry.
**[17:12] Kei**
*Check it out! He really apologized!*
**[17:15] Kei**
Really, I wasn't offended...
**[17:18] Ushi**
Really?
**[17:19] Kei**
Of course not.
**[17:20] Ushi**
Oh, good!
**[17:22] Ushi**
A friend of mine said I should apologize.
**[17:25] Kei**
Oh, really?
**[17:26] Kei**
*"Friend"? Is he talkin' about me?!*
**[17:29] Kei**
*As if! I ain't your friend, bub!*
**[17:31] Ushi**
We just met recently.
**[17:33] Ushi**
He's a bit odd, of course..
**[17:35] Ushi**
He's got such a foul mouth...
**[17:37] Ushi**
Yes, I'm sure you'd die before you
said some of the things he does.
**[17:42] Kei**
Do you think so?
**[17:43] Kei**
*You bastard!*
**[17:45] Ushi**
By the way, do you have that
inflection dictionary with you today?
**[17:49] Kei**
Yes. I don't need it for location work,
**[17:52] Kei**
but it's a bit of a lucky charm.
**[17:54] Kei**
When I'm nervous before a live show,
I like to flip through it.
**[18:00] Kei**
When you're nervous, it's important
to find comfort in routine.
**[18:03] Ushi**
Your voice is very soothing.
**[18:07] Ushi**
It's so soft and rich,
**[18:10] Ushi**
and you're articulate without being slow.
**[18:13] Ushi**
I guess you'd have to
study daily to achieve that.
**[18:16] Kei**
I'm afraid I still have a lot to learn.
**[18:18] Ushi**
So do I.
**[18:21] Ushi**
Everything I create is a long series
of "If only I'd done this or that."
**[18:27] Ushi**
When I'm frustrated over
how one project turned out,
**[18:29] Ushi**
the only way to clear my head
is to start a new project.
**[18:33] Kei**
That's a great story.
**[18:35] Kei**
You should have let it out
while the cameras were rolling.
**[18:39] Ushi**
Heck no.
**[18:58] Ushi**
Here.
**[18:59] Owa**
What?
**[19:00] Ushi**
Sometimes I'm so engrossed in my work,
I don't hear the doorbell.
**[19:04] Owa**
Seems a little careless...
**[19:46] Owa**
Who's the alien, anyway?
**[19:47] Ushi**
An Earthling from the future.
**[19:50] Ushi**
A descendant of humanity
**[19:51] Ushi**
after they moved to other planets
when Earth was destroyed.
**[19:55] Ushi**
But he's all alone now.
**[19:58] Ushi**
The sight of how many people used
to be on Earth brings him to tears.
**[20:04] Owa**
That's dark.
**[20:07] Ushi**
Creative types do tend towards the dour.
**[20:11] Owa**
*This guy? Dour?*
**[20:14] Ushi**
They want to do another shoot here tomorrow.
**[20:17] Ushi**
I guess I can't do any work today.
**[20:20] Owa**
Doesn't it annoy you, having to bow
to someone else's schedule,
**[20:23] Owa**
letting in cameras
and interrupting your work?
**[20:28] Ushi**
I'm sure it's inconvenient for them, too.
**[20:30] Ushi**
Carrying all that heavy equipment around...
**[20:33] Ushi**
Besides, I like seeing Kunieda-san.
**[20:37] Ushi**
I always thought I was a pretty quiet guy,
**[20:41] Ushi**
but something about him
just gets the words flowing.
**[20:45] Ushi**
He's good at listening...
or asking questions, I guess.
**[20:50] Ushi**
Say, Owari, do you have a girlfriend?
**[20:53] Owa**
No way! Girls are annoying.
**[20:56] Ushi**
A boyfriend, then?
**[20:57] Owa**
Double no!
**[20:59] Ushi**
What kind of person
hates both men and women?
**[21:02] Ushi**
Or are you mostly just
in love with yourself?
**[21:07] Owa**
Back off!
**[21:09] Ushi**
Hey, watch out!
**[21:11] Ushi**
You almost hit the set!
**[21:13] Ushi**
Hey!
**[21:18] Owa**
*Run your stupid mouth all you like!*
***SIGN*** Tsuzuki
**[21:22] Sign**
* You still haven't even*
* realized who I really am!*
**[21:31] Shi**
Thanks for taking time out of
your schedules, both of you.
**[21:36] Both**
Not at all.
**[21:37] Kei**
*Why do I need to have dinner
with this jerk* now*?!*
**[21:41] Kei**
* Dammit... if the invitation*
* hadn't been from my producer,*
**[21:43] Kei**
*I'd have turned it down flat!*
**[21:44] Set**
Ushio-kun. Are things going smoothly?
**[21:47] Ushi**
You could come to see it
yourself, Shitara-san.
**[21:51] Shi**
I prefer to wait for the finished product.
**[21:53] Ushi**
I hope you won't have any complaints
after waiting that long.
**[21:57] Shi**
Don't worry. I'm a fan of yours.
**[22:00] Shi**
And I have free rein on this
project, so I'm not worried.
**[22:04] Ushi**
I'm afraid that just makes me
even more nervous!
**[22:09] Ushi**
Speaking of, Kunieda-san...
**[22:12] Ushi**
What made you want to be a newscaster?
**[22:14] Kei**
That's quite sudden...
**[22:16] Ushi**
Actually, I've been wondering that for a while.
**[22:19] Ushi**
I just couldn't find the right time to ask.
**[22:23] Shi**
You didn't actually want to at first, right?
**[22:26] Kei**
You knew that, sir?
**[22:28] Shi**
Everyone knows it.
**[22:30] Shi**
Everyone around the station, at least.
**[22:33] Ushi**
You didn't want to?
**[22:38] Kei**
I originally took the test
for a regular staff position.
**[22:43] Kei**
But in the final interview
with the president,
**[22:45] Kei**
he suddenly asked if I might
try reading the news...
**[22:48] Ushi**
He saw talent in you, I suppose.
**[22:51] Kei**
I wonder.
**[22:53] Kei**
When I asked him why,
he said I had "good nasals."
**[23:00] Ushi**
Nasals?
**[23:02] Shi**
It means that when he says a hard "g,"
**[23:05] Shi**
he sounds it a little through the nose.
**[23:07] Ushi**
How, exactly?
**[23:09] Shi**
It's kind of like an "ng" sound,
though that's a bit exaggerated.
**[23:13] Shi**
"Forget" becomes "for-nget"
and "vulgar" becomes "vul-ngar".
**[23:17] Shi**
Those are nasals.
**[23:19] Shi**
But if the "g" comes at the start of a word,
you just pronounce it normally.
**[23:25] Shi**
Like "garage" or "gold".
**[23:27] Shi**
Though there's a little more
to it, of course...
**[23:29] Ushi**
Does any of that really matter?
**[23:33] Shi**
Voices that fail to master the nasal consonant
are a little harder on the ears.
**[23:36] Shi**
You'd be surprised what
a difference it makes.
**[23:40] Shi**
Oh, now...
**[23:44] Shi**
Excuse me a minute.
**[23:45] Shi**
Go ahead and eat without me.
**[23:48] Ushi**
Kunieda-san?
**[23:50] Kei**
Yes?
**[23:50] Ushi**
Why didn't you say no when they
asked you to read the news?
**[23:55] Kei**
I thought fate was trying to
tell me something, I suppose.
**[23:58] Ushi**
I see.
**[23:59] Ushi**
I may not really get that
whole "nasals" thing,
**[24:03] Ushi**
but I do think your voice
is very easy on the ears.
**[24:07] Ushi**
It's not just that you have a nice voice.
**[24:12] Ushi**
I suppose there's a lot of technique
involved that a layman wouldn't understand.
**[24:15] Ushi**
You really are amazing.
**[24:18] Kei**
It's nothing, really...
**[24:21] Kei**
*What's with this guy?!*
**[24:22] Kei**
*Quit starin' at me like that!*
**[24:28] Kei**
*You never look at Owari that way...*
**[24:32] Kei**
*Wait, what am I thinking?!*
**[24:34] Ushi**
Kunieda-san?
**[24:36] Ushi**
Are you all right?
**[24:37] Kuni**
Oh, er...
**[24:39] Kuni**
If I might ask, how have
things been with your friend?
**[24:43] Kuni**
You know, the one you mentioned before...
**[24:45] Ushi**
Oh, him...
**[24:48] Ushi**
I think he's mad at me.
**[24:50] Ushi**
I said something to him...
I didn't mean anything by it,
**[24:53] Ushi**
but I think it set him off.
**[24:55] Kei**
I see...
**[24:56] Ushi**
He'll be fine, though.
**[24:59] Kei**
*How can you be so flippant about it?!*
**[25:01] Kei**
*Try and give a crap!*
**[25:03] Ushi**
I call him my friend, but...
**[25:05] Ushi**
I really only know his
last name and cell number.
**[25:08] Ushi**
The last name he gave sounded fake,
**[25:12] Ushi**
but when I ask more,
he gets mad or ignores me.
**[25:14] Ushi**
I figure he doesn't want to tell me.
**[25:19] Ushi**
He just barges in,
hangs around, then leaves,
**[25:25] Ushi**
like a stray cat... I never
know what he's thinking.
**[25:30] Ushi**
It's strange, really...
**[25:31] Ushi**
I prefer to work alone.
**[25:35] Ushi**
At least, I thought I did.
**[25:38] Ushi**
But when he's at my place, hanging out,
**[25:41] Ushi**
flipping through a manga,
watching TV, muttering to himself...
**[25:47] Ushi**
I'm not even thinking about it,
**[25:50] Ushi**
but working while I listen
to him feels nice...
**[25:55] Ushi**
it's calming.
**[26:09] Owa**
I just ate, but I'm still hungry...
**[26:20] Owa**
What?
**[26:21] Ushi**
*Sorry about before.*
**[26:23] Owa**
I don't forgive you.
**[26:25] Ushi**
*Yeah, but I still need to apologize.*
**[26:29] Ushi**
*Just like you taught me.*
**[26:31] Owa**
You're *really* pissing me off now.
**[26:32] Ushi**
*Want to stop by for some yakitori?*
**[26:35] Ushi**
I bought some from
the place I mentioned earlier.
***SIGN*** Tanmi-ya
**[26:39] Ushi**
I had a good meal earlier,
**[26:41] Ushi**
but I'm already hungry again.
**[26:45] Ushi**
*What do you say?*
**[26:49] Owa**
Fine.
**[26:51] Both**
Let's eat!
**[26:54] Both**
*Crap! I can't eat like this...*
**[26:58] Ushi**
Hey, what's the matter? Are you still mad?
**[27:01] Owa**
I don't want you watching me eat.
**[27:04] Ushi**
Why not?
**[27:05] Owa**
I... I've got bad teeth.
**[27:08] Owa**
It's why I'm always wearing a mask.
**[27:09] Shio**
I thought you were afraid of getting sick.
**[27:11] Owa**
That's part of it, too!
**[27:13] Owa**
Just don't peek, okay?
It'll hurt my feelings.
**[27:25] Ushi**
Hey, Owari...
**[27:27] Owa**
What? Lemme eat in peace.
**[27:29] Ushi**
If your teeth bother you,
you can get them fixed.
**[27:33] Ushi**
Though apparently, it hurts.
**[27:36] Owa**
It's fine.
**[27:37] Ushi**
Why?
**[27:38] Ushi**
If money's an issue, I'll lend you some.
**[27:41] Ushi**
Or, wait... You said you had money...
**[27:44] Wa**
What are you, stupid?
**[27:46] Wa**
Don't lend money to someone you barely know.
**[27:49] Ushi**
You're not just "someone," though.
**[27:53] Ushi**
I'm happy to lend you money,
because I don't care if you pay it back.
**[27:58] Owa**
I'm not taking your money.
**[27:59] Ushi**
Then you're just gonna wear a mask
for the rest of your life?
**[28:08] Owa**
Yes!
**[28:09] Owa**
I'm going to wear a mask
for the *rest of my life*!
**[28:13] Owa**
You got a problem with that?
**[28:15] Owa**
Does that *offend* you somehow?!
**[28:20] Owa**
I'm leaving.
**[28:21] Ushi**
Hey! Wait!
**[28:24] Owa**
Let me go! Don't touch me!
**[28:28] Ushi**
Would you chill out?!
**[28:30] Ushi**
Where'd all that come from?
**[28:32] Kei**
I just decided I wanted to leave.
**[28:34] Kei**
You got a problem?
**[28:35] Ushi**
Not a problem, exactly...
I'm just asking *why*.
**[28:38] Ushi**
Is it really worth getting angry about?
**[28:40] Owa**
Shut up.
**[28:42] Owa**
Just shut up!
**[28:44] Ushi**
Owari!
**[28:46] Owa**
Shut up!
**[28:47] Owa**
Shut up, shut up!
**[28:50] Owa**
*Owari isn't my name!*
**[28:55] Owa**
*But I'm not "Kunieda-san," either...*
**[28:58] Owa**
*I don't know who I am anymore.*
**[29:00] Owa**
*Why? When did it all get so weird?*
**[29:05] Owa**
*If I hadn't met you that night...*
**[29:09] Owa**
*This is all your fault!*
**[29:11] Ushi**
Hey...
**[29:14] Owa**
It's your fault.
**[29:15] Ushi**
Okay, I'll accept that.
**[29:17] Ushi**
But I can't make it right unless
you tell me what I did wrong!
**[29:23] Ushi**
Do you have that little trust in me?
**[29:27] Ushi**
You can't just tell me how you really feel?
**[29:30] Ushi**
If I matter so little to you, why did
you keep coming to see me?
**[29:33] Ushi**
I know I dragged you into this at first.
**[29:37] Ushi**
But you kept coming after that!
**[29:40] Ushi**
Even when there was no more work to do...
**[29:42] Ushi**
I thought you were enjoying it. Was I wrong?
**[29:45] Ushi**
I enjoyed it!
**[29:47] Owa**
I... liked it.
**[29:52] Ushi**
But you don't now?
**[29:54] Owa**
No...
**[29:56] Owa**
My head's full of things
I never thought about before.
**[30:00] Owa**
It's all your fault. It's all your fault!
**[30:04] Ushi**
Explain it to me, then.
**[30:07] Owa**
No!
**[30:08] Ushi**
Explain!
**[30:09] Owa**
Why?!
**[30:10] Ushi**
Because I want to know!
**[30:12] Ushi**
I want to really understand you!
**[30:22] Owa**
*His eyes are so beautiful...*
**[30:44] Owa**
What the hell's wrong with you?! Pervert!

You disgust me! Asshole!

Oh... n-nothing.
Forget I said anything, please.
**[34:30] Kei**
Oh, r-right!
**[34:32] Kei**
We had a big change in schedule,
so I haven't been by.
**[34:35] Kei**
I'm so very sorry!
**[34:37] Ushi**
Kunieda-san...
**[34:38] Ushi**
Want to stop by my place?
**[34:40] Ushi**
I do have a vase.
**[34:44] Kei**
You finished the filming and the editing?
**[34:47] Ushi**
Yeah.
**[34:48] Ushi**
Shitara-san just needs to look at it,
**[34:51] Ushi**
and I'll do a few tweaks on my computer.
**[34:54] Kei**
I see...
**[34:56] Kei**
I guess congratulations...
aren't quite in order yet?
**[35:00] Ushi**
Aren't you the one
deserving congratulations?
**[35:03] Ushi**
You got chosen as the new host,
right? It's incredible.
**[35:06] Ushi**
It feels a little strange that the news
show I've watched since I was a kid
**[35:09] Ushi**
will be hosted by someone I know.
**[35:11] Ushi**
You start tomorrow, right? Nervous?
**[35:13] Kei**
A little...
**[35:15] Ushi**
But I'm sure they wouldn't have chosen you
unless they knew you could do it.
**[35:19] Kei**
I appreciate that.
That's what they all say...
**[35:24] Kei**
* Superficially, I've always*
* gotten along with everyone...*
**[35:29] Kei**
* Always smiling, never getting mad*
* or yelling at anyone.*
**[35:33] Kei**
* It's exhausting to speak from the heart,*
* or to hear other people do it.*
**[35:37] Kei**
* But if I tell him that*
* I really am scared as hell...*
**[35:42] Kei**
*What would he do?*
**[35:44] Kei**
* Is now the time to remove*
* the mask of Kunieda Kei,*
**[35:49] Kei**
*tied on so tightly by so many lies?*
**[35:51] Kei**
*Is now the time to tell him everything?*
**[35:55] Kei**
* Everything I've kept from him...*
* Or about Owari, at last...*
**[36:00] Kei**
*This might be my last chance.*
**[36:03] Kei**
Um...
**[36:05] Ushi**
Sorry.
**[36:06] Ushi**
I know I called you by, but
I'm actually a little busy right now.
**[36:10] Ushi**
There's more I need
to change than I thought.
**[36:13] Ushi**
I need to work it all out by tomorrow.
**[36:15] Ushi**
Do you mind if I focus on work?
**[36:18] Ushi**
You can stay as long as you like.
**[36:31] Kei**
Reading the news and hosting a roundtable
**[36:34] Kei**
are totally different levels of difficulty.
**[36:37] Kei**
You need to know the content by heart,
**[36:39] Kei**
control the flow while keeping things light,
**[36:43] Kei**
insert little comments
to fill a gap in conversation,
**[36:46] Kei**
and remain visible
without stealing the show...
**[36:50] Kei**
And my first show will be
an interparty debate.

for every scrap of airtime.
**[36:58] Kei**
It sounds nice to say it was
a flash of inspiration to choose me,
**[37:02] Kei**
but it was really just a whim.
**[37:05] Kei**
In a profession you have to win
thousands of competitions to get ahead...
**[37:10] Kei**
Even I am just a substitute,
**[37:12] Kei**
I landed the hosting job
of the station's flagship show.
**[37:14] Kei**
I've worked so hard, trying to beat
out people who went for this job
**[37:18] Kei**
because they wanted it...
**[37:20] Kei**
I was always...
**[37:22] Kei**
I was... Always...
**[37:29] Ushi**
Kunieda-san?
**[37:32] Ushi**
It's 6 AM.
**[37:38] Kei**
I'm sorry to be a bother.
**[37:40] Ushi**
No, maybe I should have woken you up.
**[37:44] Ushi**
You want some coffee?
**[37:45] Kei**
No, I'd better head home.
**[37:55] Kei**
*Wait...*
**[37:57] Kei**
*Was the studio always this big?*

Oh, of course!

This again?
**[39:23] Ushi**
You're always like this.
**[39:25] Ushi**
You put up those walls and never
tell me anything important.
**[39:30] Kei**
It's just...
**[39:32] Kei**
* It's just, you're the one person*
* I want to understand me...*
**[39:36] Kei**
*But I also don't want you to know...*
**[39:40] Ushi**
*It's okay.*

Look... the man I love once told me

that when you're nervous,
you can find comfort in routine.
**[39:49] Ushi**
*Maybe you should try that, too.*
**[39:52] Ushi**
*Anyway, be sure to watch the show!*

Good evening.
**[41:45] Kei**
This is the first episode of
the all-new *The News*.
**[41:50] Kei**
I'll be your host today, Kunieda Kei.
**[42:20] Ushi**
Which are you?
**[42:23] Ushi**
Kunieda-san or Owari?
**[42:29] Kei**
Half of each, I guess...
**[42:31] Ushi**
I see...
**[42:34] Ushi**
You're late.
**[42:35] Ushi**
I was waiting so long, I fell asleep.
**[42:38] Kei**
What do you expect?
**[42:40] Kei**
We had our show post-mortem
and preparations for tomorrow...
**[42:43] Kei**
I was busy, okay?
**[42:45] Ushi**
It's funny to hear that voice
coming from that face.
**[42:49] Kei**
Lay off!
**[42:50] Kei**
When did you realize it?
**[42:53] Ushi**
"What the hell's wrong with you?!"
**[42:55] Ushi**
"Pervert! You disgust me! Asshole!"
**[42:59] Kei**
Throwing that back in my face, huh?
**[43:00] Ushi**
No.
**[43:01] Ushi**
Well, I guess I am, a little...
**[43:05] Ushi**
My mind went blank when
you slapped me, I think.
**[43:10] Ushi**
Because of that, I heard your
voice more clearly than usual.
**[43:14] Ushi**
The nasals.
**[43:16] Ushi**
The way you said "g" in "wrong"
and "disgust" were a little different.
**[43:19] Ushi**
I finally realized what
Shitara-san was talking about.
**[43:23] Ushi**
Once the possibility was in
my mind, it all fell into place.
**[43:28] Ushi**
I had to wonder why I didn't see it earlier.
**[43:32] Ushi**
It was so obviously you.
**[43:35] Kei**
You're not mad?
**[43:37] Ushi**
Why would I be?
**[43:38] Kei**
I lied to you for so long...
**[43:40] Ushi**
If I'd asked if you were the same person
**[43:42] Ushi**
and you'd said no,
that would have been a lie.
**[43:45] Ushi**
But you just didn't tell me, right?
**[43:47] Kei**
And you're fine with that?
**[43:49] Ushi**
Why shouldn't I be?
**[43:52] Kei**
Because it's wrong... it's mean!
**[43:55] Kei**
You must be disappointed in me.
**[43:56] Ushi**
I'm not, though.
**[43:58] Kei**
Don't lie!
**[44:00] Ushi**
I'm telling you I don't mind,
so why are you mad?
**[44:04] Kei**
Because...
**[44:05] Ushi**
It made me happy, actually.
**[44:10] Ushi**
The prince-like Kunieda-san,
**[44:12] Ushi**
and the major asshole Owari...
**[44:16] Ushi**
I was falling for both of them,
**[44:19] Ushi**
so this really simplifies things.
**[44:22] Kei**
You can't fall for both!
**[44:24] Ushi**
But it's interesting.
**[44:26] Ushi**
I know everyone has a public
and private face...
**[44:28] Ushi**
But I've never seen anyone
take it to such extremes.
**[44:31] Kei**
Don't treat me like a lab experiment!
**[44:34] Ushi**
Kei.
**[44:35] Ushi**
Keep being like that. Even if it's strange...
**[44:38] Ushi**
And don't show your true face
**[44:41] Ushi**
to anyone but me.
**[44:44] Kei**
I never would... I'd be finished!
**[44:48] Ushi**
Can I take that to mean
you've fallen for me?
**[44:54] Kei**
Maybe... half.
**[44:57] Ushi**
Half from each face?
**[44:58] Ushi**
Does that add up to...
**[45:01] Ushi**
Entirely?
**[45:03] Kei**
No, just half!
**[45:05] Kei**
You were half into both
Kunieda-san and Owari, too...
**[45:10] Ushi**
You're so silly.
**[45:15] Ushi**
For me, it adds up to double.
**[45:29] Kei**
What now?
**[45:30] Ushi**
I'm glad you have nice teeth.
**[45:33] Kei**
Of course I do—
**[45:39] Kei**
Stop!
**[45:47] Kei**
W-Wait! I don't want to!
**[45:49] Ushi**
It's a little late for that!
**[45:51] Kei**
But...
**[45:52] Kei**
I just... I don't want it inside!
**[45:55] Ushi**
That's not fair. You already got yours...
**[45:58] Kei**
T-Tsuzuki-san...
**[46:01] Kei**
Tsuzuki-san... I don't want this.
**[46:03] Kei**
I'm scared...
**[46:06] Ushi**
You really are a nasty little creature...
**[46:12] Kei**
Ow!
**[46:14] Ushi**
I'll have to beat that out of you.
**[46:17] Kei**
You said I was fine the way I was.
**[46:19] Ushi**
Not literally all the time!
**[46:21] Ushi**
Do you really delight in tormenting me?
**[46:23] Kei**
You're the one who—
**[46:25] Kei**
I said no!
**[46:26] Ushi**
You've half-convinced me.
**[46:29] Ushi**
So I'll only put it in halfway.
**[46:31] Kei**
That's not much of a difference!
**[46:33] Ushi**
Shut up.
**[46:34] Ushi**
I love you, so shut your mouth.
**[46:36] Kei**
I don't want this!
**[46:37] Kei**
Ow, it hurts! It hurts!
**[46:41] Ushi**
Sorry.
**[46:42] Kei**
Oh, well...
**[46:46] Ushi**
You can't fool me again!
**[46:49] Kei**
The pain is real, though!
**[46:51] Ushi**
It'll hurt more if you struggle.
**[46:53] Ushi**
Breathe... slow and deep...
**[46:59] Kei**
A-Are you in halfway yet?
**[47:01] Ushi**
Not yet...
**[47:05] Kei**
N-No...
**[47:08] Ushi**
Kei... Kei!
**[47:12] Ushi**
I'm sorry... I can't stop myself.
**[47:24] Kei**
L-Liar... You said... only halfway...
**[47:27] Kei**
But... you put the whole thing in...
**[47:30] Ushi**
Yeah, you got me...
**[47:33] Ushi**
I think I'm just swept away
by your beauty...
**[47:36] Kei**
Oh, stow it!
**[47:38] Ushi**
I'll take it slow.
**[47:44] Ushi**
Crap. This sucks...
**[47:48] Ushi**
When I remember this, I won't
be able to go anywhere else...
**[47:54] Kei**
Stupid...
