All Greens (2025) Movie Script
1
Right now, I'm not
sitting in my seat.
[Vocational school, 2nd year, Class A
Hidemi Boku]
What are you reading?
"The Handmaid's Tale".
Never heard of it.
[Condoms]
Sorry.
Sorry, Boku-Hidemi!
Don't be mad.
But what are you guys doing!
The one sitting in my seat
is Miruku Yaguchi.
The annoying class leader.
She's beautiful,
knows how to handle people,
and she's also fast.
Hey. What would happen
if I took my seat back?
There would be a moment
of awkwardness,
then she'd smile and say
"Oh, sorry". That's it.
High school hierarchy
means nothing after graduation.
It'd be nice if she
tripped and died.
So, I think some
of you already know,
but a man was reported
for taking photos of our female students.
It could be me!
Silence.
I said silence!
Girls, go home in groups,
avoid going home alone.
Understood?
As the school rules say,
don't shorten your skirts.
Safety comes first.
Be careful on your way home.
Those who attend this school
gave up on entering university,
[I won't give up on my studies
due to lack of money.]
or are too poor
to afford a private school.
[School Motto: Light up a corner
~Let's do our best in our own way~]
Or both.
[Spring Manga Contest:
Final Results]
I was eliminated.
No matter how far I go,
I'll end up in hell anyway.
So am I at the gates of hell?
Or at the exit?
When will you stop?!
Do you want to understand or not?
Again?
It's because he answers back!
...the fire was reported
by the residents.
It was extinguished after two hours
and a man's body was found...
Come to the table!
It's spring, let's go
Let's dance, dance on.
It's stuck in your ear
I'm Gapeiji, the baddest
Freestyle is a mental challenge
Know what I'm sayin'?
Let's go.
Neuromancer, are you ready?
Freestyle is a mental challenge
That's right, now I'll teach you
I'm no model student,
My life is always a bit messy
Full of crap in my head
like a motherfucker
My body heats up, adrenaline rises
That's the only way I can warm up
Say it's impossible?
You only get a taste by taking a risk
I'm Neuromancer
from the Tokaimura Cypher
No beating around the bush
or fake laughs
I'm laying it all out
Jackie, it's your turn
Neuro passes the baton in the cypher
put up with my rant...
There were no abuses from my father,
no screams from my mother,
or annoying noises.
We were the Tokaimura Cypher.
In that suffocating little town,
I could barely breathe.
Hey, isn't that...
Do you know nosfur-a2?
Yeah, the beatmaker, right?
I mentioned you to him.
He got interested.
Said he can make a beat for you.
Really?!
And why?
Because you're good.
Good beatmakers want
good rappers.
But...
Battle rap isn't your style.
Oh, right. And he wants you
to put on your uniform.
Excuse me...
You're late!
- Nonsense!
- Look!
- Enough nonsense!
- Don't make me lose my temper!
- Come here!
- Let me go!
Come here!
- Honey, no!
- Now I'm going to kill you!
Don't touch me!
There's a keyword.
A keyword?
For what?
To distinguish allies from enemies.
We need to be sure.
And what's that word?
Mayday.
I tested it on you once.
Mayday...
"Save me"...
Hey.
What's up?
Hey! What happened?!
Yaguchi! Hey!
What happened? Hey!
Call an ambulance!
Hang in there!
The milling machine cut off Miruku's pinky
like it was butter,
and with it, the fragile friendships
she had around her.
Yaguchi is eating alone.
Strange to see, isn't it?
When Yaguchi's little finger
flew through the air,
a student screamed
and crushed it.
Serves you right, Yaguchi.
The ads on Spotify
are really annoying, aren't they?
They show embarrassing things
just to make you subscribe.
You're right.
Iwakuma, you're smart.
It was obvious.
Exploiting minds that
don't think like you
makes the world go round.
- Let's go to karaoke.
- Yes, I'm in!
- The same place?
- Yes, let's go to the usual one.
But it's far.
I know, but...
Fujiki?
What happened?
Nothing.
Still drawing?
On the idiots who destroy art, sooner or later,
a bolt of lightning will strike their heads.
Did you join a club?
The chemistry club.
I didn't know there was one.
There's only five of us.
It's just that there isn't
a manga club here, right?
Oh, really?
Let's draw a manga together.
I don't know...
I don't want to risk hating
something I'm passionate about.
Remember that woman?
At the intersection.
She was found dead
in the river with her son.
Her violent husband beat her
and she snapped.
She killed him and
set the house on fire.
She was run over
and died in a river.
This little town
has no hope.
My father is violent,
my mother screams all the time.
In here I hear nothing,
only the microphone isn't off.
Like that dead woman,
my life was taken from me.
With worn-out headphones,
I survive in a desolate world.
Are you coming in?
Oh, yes. Excuse me.
Is that your uniform?
What?
Neuromancer,
like in Gibson's novel?
Yes, I love science fiction.
Neuromancer also sounds
like "new romance."
Gibson is a bit heavy,
but also has a romantic side.
What did you think
of the song I sent you?
What style would you like?
Like that group, the Blue Herb.
A stark and lyrical style.
You know...
I'm about to get married.
So I'm thinking of giving it all up.
Even being a DJ?
I'm old already. I can't keep going
to small-town clubs anymore.
I know full well that hip-hop
doesn't pay the bills.
So,
recording your song
might be my last job.
Thank you.
And in return...
you sleep with me.
Then I'll write your song.
You're...
a virgin, right?
Forget it, you idiot.
Never trust what a man gives you.
A lesson I owe to my mother.
We had a deal.
Let me go!
Don't touch me!
Asshole!
Asshole! Let me go!
[How to erase fingerprints]
Hayashi?
Here.
Fukazawa?
Here.
Boku?
Boku Hidemi?
[Northern Lights cannabis seeds]
Ouch, it's hot.
Need help?
My grandfather had died two years earlier
and my grandmother
was letting her bonsai wither.
She said climate change
had even affected the bonsai.
The world is falling apart
due to men's incompetence,
but my grandmother
didn't give up.
Thanks for the help.
A little something.
And what's this?
Everything okay?
A few days later,
my grandmother died.
Hidemi.
Aren't you sad
about your grandmother?
Why wouldn't I be?
But you never cried.
Of course... I'm sad.
Then why don't you show it?
It's like you...
don't have a heart.
Why won't you
come to the funeral?!
Get out!
I know you can hear me!
Stop pretending!
Hey! Get out!
I told you to get out!
Huh? Neuro?
What happened to you?
So many things happened.
I locked myself in the house.
Oh.
That whole
nosfur-a2 thing was ugly.
Huh?
You didn't hear?
He was attacked at home.
He's in a coma.
His condition is serious.
No one knows who did it.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Gapeiji was arrested
for trafficking.
Now I have to be
the leader of the cyphers.
Huh?
That day, finally,
I slept like a rock.
What a stomach ache, but I want to resist
So I make up something to start
I look at the world with almost dead eyes
Yet I still have hope for the future
It's fucking hard, hard as hell, damn hard
But still, all that's left is to keep going
Sitting around rotting away is no good
So I rhyme to swim against the current
In fact, I'm a virgin I'm kinda by the book
Even so, don't underestimate me just yet
Time passes and pushes me against the wall
It shows me what lies ahead
I see so you're a virgin, even so
You're okay? Then just jump like bungee
Life is a game: no pain no "game" (gain)
Keep your head up, look ahead, and stand tall
Holding your tongue won't get you anywhere
So raise that middle finger up high
That's right, don't run away
Speak up right here and now
Run away? I'm a rapper...
Hey!
Hey!
Wait.
Why are you running away?
I rap...
But...
don't tell anyone.
Please.
Why?
Because it's embarrassing.
It's cool.
You're enjoying your youth.
Youth?
How I wish
I could enjoy it like that too.
That word "youth"...
It's for people like you.
Laughing together at school,
joining a club, dating...
Friendships, commitment, victory.
"I don't want school to end."
That's just... an oxygenated
stereotype of youth.
A bunch of lies.
Doing what you do
is truly making the most of youth.
Hey, say it again for me.
Forget it.
Oh, really? How annoying.
Hey!
So to you, I'm just trash.
Someone who doesn't speak,
a ridiculous otaku.
I'm the Dazai Osamu of rhymes
But people describe me as a "failure"
Where are the condoms?
Scared now?
That's Akutagawa,
This is Tokaimura!
What the fuck do you want from me at this hour?
Don't even bother telling me your lame ideas
Mocking others turns you on?
Where are your morals?
Are you going to keep
doing that, or not?
Who gave you the authority
to do anything?
This is my public execution
Enjoy this unique occasion!
Happy now? Are you going stay quiet?
Can't you give me an answer?!
I need to drink a good amount
Because feeling like a victim is exhausting!
Stay in your place, newbie!
If winning makes you proud,
go ahead and summon a teacher
I'm such a loser!
It wasn't your dream, mayday!
Do me a favor!
Don't sit on my desk!
Later I'll blow your brains out
The future is in my hands
You're really good!
Worried?
About your hand.
Actually...
I wanted to leave the club.
I had the perfect excuse.
You didn't even like it?
It's like you said.
"Life is no pain no gain."
[Vocational Institute, 2nd Year Class A
Miruku Yaguchi]
Miruku Yaguchi needed
something big to happen to her.
And that something was painful.
Many wrote to me.
When Yaguchi was 12,
her mother went insane.
The reasons were many.
One of them was her husband's death.
Yaguchi's father lost his life
at the nuclear plant where he worked.
It wasn't the radiation
that killed him, but a fall.
Another reason was
the 2011 earthquake.
The fear of invisible radiation
made her realize something.
By isolating herself from the world,
she would eliminate her worries.
Her fears had a single cause:
the nuclear plant.
The radiation gave life
to horrible monsters,
and somehow
her mother became a Godzilla.
Yaguchi always
wondered about one thing.
If she had hit her head,
would everything go back to normal?
I got a sushi coupon!
Really?
Yaguchi tried hard to play
the role of the perfect daughter.
Because if she didn't,
she'd end up killing her.
Like in the movie "Carrie".
She started building
another image of herself,
that of the cheerful,
lively and shallow girl,
and always happy.
It was like wearing a mask.
Okay... for me, Torotaku
(tuna with radish).
[Said we'd have surprise sushi today
and my daughter went crazy with joy]
Thank you, dear Miru-chan!
I needed something
big to happen.
If I did nothing,
nothing would change.
You could even say,
that I'm the character of a
clich coming-of-age film or novel.
In the end, I'll reconcile
with my mother and my name.
Maybe I'll even end up thinking
that life in this small town
isn't so bad after all.
Yes, maybe you're right.
Everything sucks.
But wouldn't that be
the same old story?
I'll abandon my mother,
I'll leave this small town,
and never come back.
Now that would be a happy ending.
Love for family and my homeland?
Not for me.
It's not normal to accept
things as they are. That's crazy.
Our lives shouldn't be
like those cheap novels
sold in used bookstores.
Boku-Hidemi,
do you want to live here forever?
Hell no.
But to leave,
you need money.
What about prostitution?
Like in "Poor Things".
- What's that?
- A movie.
No, I couldn't do it.
Having sex with strangers for money?
It makes me want to throw up.
Just an idea.
There must be other ways.
Like what?
Stealing bicycles.
Bicycles?!
Iwakuma?
Ugh.
[Vocational Institute, 2nd Year Class A
Mako Iwakuma]
Don't follow me.
We can't do anything.
We're heading the same way.
By any chance, are you...
prostituting yourselves?
I heard you talking about it.
We were just...
speaking hypothetically.
Iwaku-Mako,
do you work at the bowling alley?
Wasn't it obvious
just by looking?
Do you need money?
And who doesn't?
Why do you need it?
My parents are farmers
and I have no siblings.
They want me to marry
a man who'll take over the business.
So outdated!
It's obvious I want to get out
of this small town,
earning 953 yen an hour.
If we stay in this place...
we'll end up...
like that woman?
Hey.
What if I said,
"Let's make money together"?
How? Rob a bank?
Pull a scam?
I'd say we can
fall into that category.
Cool.
Hey, hey.
Go on, tell us.
Weed.
I said weed!
I got some seeds.
We grow it
and then sell it.
Are you crazy?
Look, here they are!
Hey, if this stuff is real
why are you carrying it around?
My mom cleans my room
without asking permission.
Boku-Hidemi, you're not smart enough
to come up with a prank like that.
That's not much of a compliment.
But it's fantastic!
Let's do it.
You guys are crazy.
I want nothing to do with this.
Iwaku-Mako!
This is a big mission for us.
Huh?
The quiz begins.
What's the final destination of a delinquent
from the countryside when they look for a job?
The answer is the "police".
And there's a cop right behind us.
What do we do?
Sorry!
Give it back!
Hey! Don't run!
Rafa (dreamingbleu)
[All Greens]
We need a place
to grow it.
Iwaku-Mako.
You were in the gardening club.
But only for a year.
How nice.
- The gardening club...
- Yeah.
It closed because of
that Konno "Lolita" thing.
Because of the child
pornography videos in the room?
Let's use the club's greenhouse.
And how?
They'll find us out
just for using it.
Let's re-establish
the club as a group.
That way we can use it.
Not if they assign us a teacher.
Groups don't get supervisors.
You did your research.
We just need
to declare a purpose.
and have three members.
Huh?
Then we have a group!
Let's go.
And what do we put
as the purpose?
Improve the school's greenery?
[Name: Gardening Group
Purpose: Improve the school's greenery]
[Approved]
[Teachers' Room]
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
It was a piece of cake.
[NO ENTRY]
It won't open.
What do you mean?
Why not?
It looks like a dump.
Oh, damn...
Unbelievable, it's like we're
in a dystopian movie.
Smell it.
- First we fix these holes...
- Wait.
I haven't said
I'm joining yet.
What are you saying?
Now that we've come this far.
Do you want the money or not?
I don't want to walk
on such a shaky bridge.
Iwakuma, here in the club
you'll just be a member...
...member? Associate?
Whatever.
And you'll cultivate the weed
without knowing it.
We'll give you your share,
but officially you know nothing.
What do you think?
What if we get caught?
We won't let ourselves get caught.
You two are evil.
Yaguchi.
Tell me your favorite manga.
A manga?
Usually I don't read much...
Maybe... "World Is Mine"?
The title is "THE World Is Mine".
It's the same thing!
"THE"!
This place stinks.
What should we do?
Let's use this.
[Welcome to Tokaimura!]
[But there's nothing worth seeing here]
That sofa...
That sofa!
Let's grab it!
Are you serious?
It's perfect!
Pull it up!
It's too heavy.
Yaguchi, help us!
- But I don't have my pinky.
- Hold it!
- Hold here.
- Wait, wait!
Wait! Our stuff!
- Our stuff!
- Yeah, wait!
Hey.
Yaguchi, damn it.
Come on, help us out!
- Let's go.
- Oh, wait!
- Hurry up. - Okay, I'm coming.
That many?
- Open it.
- How many do we put in?
- Maybe two.
- Two?
- Weed...
- I'm not sure.
Place in a bright spot,
they'll germinate in two weeks.
Is that right?
It's a bit suspicious.
Will they really grow?
Summer break starts tomorrow.
Don't slack off.
For the seedlings,
a few weeks are needed.
There are the certification exams.
Still three months
until harvest.
[August watering schedule]
- I'm not in the mood.
- Come on, let's go.
Would you like to come with us to the
Godard Retro Film Festival?
What was that movie last time?
Took ages to watch.
- It was "Tout va bien".
- Right.
Back then, Godard wasn't
making commercial films anymore.
It might not seem interesting, but...
You can watch it on streaming.
Movies are made
to be seen on the big screen,
even the environment
you watch them in...
Anyway, I'll pass.
I'm seeing someone.
Bye-bye.
[Amaya-Za Cinema - September schedule:
John Cassavetes]
[They capture love, loss, and life in an
intimate way, shaking the emotions of viewers.]
I think it's a boy.
A boy?
Otherwise she wouldn't be so excited.
They're also showing
Cassavetes films.
This cinema is amazing.
I don't care about
other people's love lives.
Okay, who was your first love?
I'm not talking about sex.
Who made your heart beat faster?
It could be a famous person
or a manga character.
Those aren't questions you ask.
Charmander, I guess.
You know who I'm talking about,
Charmander from Pokmon.
The lizard with the flaming tail.
In one episode, he gets all wet,
including his flame,
gets weak and
is at risk of dying.
That scene is... beautiful.
Are you sexually attracted
to Charmander?
Of course not.
Tell me.
How do you know when it's best
to stay away from someone?
If after a movie at the cinema
she tells me "That was long".
It's fixed now.
Thank you so much, Jackie.
You're welcome. That skateboard
wheel didn't match mine.
Neuro, are you seeing anyone?
Huh?
I mean, you know
how to rhyme well
and you're also funny.
I think you're... fuckin' awesome.
I was thinking that maybe
we could be more than friends...
What do you think?
I see...
I see.
It's just that...
I'm not good with these things.
That doesn't mean
you're not attractive.
I understand.
Don't worry. Seriously...
You know, in high school
I went to therapy.
For alcoholism.
Really?
I got bored.
Time passed, or maybe it didn't,
and that scared me.
I mixed vodka and Red Bull
every day until I passed out.
If I were a rapper,
I'd talk about it in a song.
But you are a rapper, Jackie.
It's not an interesting
story for a rap,
and I know I'm not cool enough
to make a good song out of it.
Neuro, don't give up.
Break out and get out of here.
Forget everything
and get the hell out of this town,
just do what
you want to do.
That's exactly my plan.
You should do that too, Jackie!
Alright.
What is it?
No, I'd start dreaming
about it again and I don't want to.
Oh, yeah? Take care.
Miru-chan!
What's up, Toki-chan?
What did you do today?
I went to karaoke with my friends.
Really...?
Look... after work
I did this.
How cool!
It's not here.
It's not, it's not!
What's wrong?
I can't find the necklace
I made for you.
- It's no problem.
- No! No, no, no!
This isn't right!
Why?! It's not, it's not here!
- Why?! Where is it?
- Don't worry.
It's not here!
Huh?! Where did it go?!
Well...
We always used
that greenhouse.
We didn't even know the gardening
club had been reactivated.
You "always used it"?
But now that it's back,
stop using it, okay? It's disgusting.
Well, that's impossible
At home, we share
a room with our siblings,
and we don't have money...
That's not our problem,
you greenhouse perverts!
Huh? So what? It's no big deal,
despite being two guys.
Your sexuality
isn't the issue.
I'm talking about morals, you know?
"Morality"?
"Morality"?
You guys are... growing weed.
What are you saying?
I heard you...
talking about it.
Are you... going to sell it?
We... want to live
together after graduation.
So... can you hire us?
Two months later,
harvest time had come.
Do we harvest this part?
Yeah.
We dry and grind it.
We'll sell it for
5,000 yen per gram,
we have two kilograms,
so multiply by 2,000.
10 million yen?
10 million yen?!
I can't believe it.
Me neither.
What would happen if one of us
got too greedy and betrayed us,
and we got caught...
No, what a nightmare!
Anyway, how are
we going to sell it?
We'll use an app that automatically
deletes the chat with customers.
Like real criminals.
Don't say things like that.
Those plants...
will they keep sprouting?
I think so.
We'll graduate in two years,
what do you think about passing
this activity on to the freshmen?
Many of us at school
need money.
In a few years
we'd become an urban legend.
An echo that resonates through the halls
of this low-level vocacional school.
On the surface,
passionate about gardening.
In reality, a criminal club
that acts like a drug cartel...
That's so badass!
Let's think of a name!
If it were useful to someone,
I'd do it with more pleasure.
Iwakuma, who would have thought
you were the most naive of the three.
Being naive isn't a bad thing.
Having someone like you in the group
will make business run better.
Especially the illegal ones.
You're right.
You two are crazy,
someone needs to be sensible.
You're not exactly
normal either.
If only it were
to help someone...
Even among criminals
there are good ones, right?
Every criminal has
their excuses, don't they?
And who doesn't?
Besides, karma doesn't exist.
It's all nonsense.
There are ways to escape
karma before it catches you.
So let's call ourselves
"The" something.
What are we, a band?
- The.
- The.
"The" something.
"The...
...Bad Girls".
- Seriously?
- No, it's cringy.
Forget it.
- It's awful!
- Enough!
- "The Bad Girls" won't work!
- It's terrible!
In the end,
like our jumpsuits,
we became the
"All Greens".
Turns out "Bad Girls" wasn't
so bad after all.
A little more.
Quick.
- How sensitive you are!
- Don't throw it!
[Hase Seish - Utsuro no
(The King of Emptiness)]
[Nov 9, 12 PM]
[South exit, 20,000 yen, cash]
That guy?
No, could it be
that person over there?
What do you think?
Wow...
Looks can be deceiving.
Hey, don't take pictures.
The sale went better
than expected.
The procedure was simple.
We'd send the location to the customer
through an app,
it could be a bank
or a payphone,
and the payment was in cash.
Takechi and Murakami made the deliveries
for 20,000 yen a day each.
Everything is going very well,
that makes me a bit uneasy.
We're not doing anything wrong.
Actually, we are.
Of course we are.
It's on.
Finally.
Things like "what do you want to do"
or "what are your dreams"
aren't something you can
figure out just by trying hard.
If you don't have that,
acknowledge that you don't.
And live according to your reality.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Sit up straight.
If you can eat, shelter yourself
from the rain and wind,
and above all, stay alive
that in itself is a worthy thing.
Boku?
It's me.
Thank you.
Your order.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
My grades are crap,
so I won't get a good job, right?
I'll be paid by the hour
at some shopping mall.
Maybe I'll marry a coworker
and give birth right in the store.
I'll buy a cheap car.
And my kid will be a delinquent.
My husband will cheat on me and by
thirty I'll become a single mom.
And you'll still be doing rap?
You make rap music?!
You didn't know?
- Boku-Hidemi is really good.
- Cut it out!
I'm going to become a rapper,
and I'm getting out of here.
And you, Iwaku-Mako?
I wanted to draw manga.
Wanted?
But I draw really badly.
Do you know that type
of middle-aged woman
who lives with
a bunch of animals?
Yeah, of course.
I want to become like that.
I want to always stay home
and never go out.
But not in this small town, right?
You can say that out loud.
Pass it over here.
As for me,
I want to work in film.
Why?
It's just me and my mom,
so to kill time, I always rented
DVDs and watched movies.
I'm going to make money, get out
of here as fast as possible,
go to Tokyo
and get a gig on a set.
Once I've gained
enough experience,
I'll shoot a film of my own.
Good for you.
I saw something online.
By applying heat
and pressing the weed,
you can make a concentrate
with a consistency like wax.
What's it for?
Being pure, it's stronger
and sells for a higher price.
We could sell 0.5 grams
for about 10,000 yen.
Really?!
The chemistry club
has gas canisters and test tubes.
We could make it with those.
Miss Iwaku-Mako,
you're quite the schemer.
It's just a matter of practicality.
And I know...
someone in the chemistry club...
What's that?
A manga.
About what?
It's like the manga "River's Edge".
Here's a story.
Some high school girls
grow weed and sell it.
So?
To refine it and sell it better,
they get a member
of the chemistry club involved.
So the gardening club
was for...
Do you want...
to get rich with us?
The first rule of All Greens is...
you do not talk
about All Greens.
The second rule of All Greens is
you do not talk
about All Greens.
I've always dreamed
of saying that!
You don't know it?
Really?
- Better go.
- Yeah, let's head back.
Hey! We just started!
Wait up!
You're older than them...
Can I redo it?
First, we put the dry weed
into the test tube.
With a sealed lid,
we could extract more,
but for now
we'll simplify the process.
I'll use a coffee filter.
Then, we introduce butane...
It's dangerous.
Don't smoke now, please.
"It's dangerous. Don't smoke."
Do you really need to say that?
When introduced, the butane
vaporizes and expands,
the heat is removed
and the contents quickly cool down.
By vaporizing the outer components,
you can produce a purer concentrate.
You're awesome!
The wax production was successful
and profits skyrocketed.
With great ease...
we amassed a fortune.
[Maison d'Olive Minami-Otsuka Apartment]
No, no! That would be fantastic!
- It's perfect.
- Really?
Boku-Hidemi!
Boku-Hidemi!
What is it?!
Don't shout my name.
I wanted to be called
Kurumi or Mikuru.
Why Miruku of all things?
It's written with the characters for "beauty,"
"flow," and "chrysanthemum."
I know.
You'll think I have weird parents
for deciding to call me "Milk".
No...
Actually, it's like that.
Every time I hear "Hey! Miruku!",
I want to die.
But why did they choose Miruku?
Because of Harvey Milk.
How sophisticated.
At least that's what I always say.
My parents didn't even know
who Harvey Milk was.
Want to watch a movie?
Now?
They're showing
"The Man Who Stole the Sun."
Huh?
You don't know it?
It's famous.
No.
A failed high school teacher
builds a nuclear bomb
and threatens the government.
There's a scene where
he steals the plutonium.
Know how? He breaks
into the Tokaimura nuclear plant.
And it's really badass.
What would you do...
if you had a nuclear bomb?
I'd use it here.
Me too!
I'd reduce this town to ashes.
But in that case,
the ones who'd suffer would be
people like us, the powerless.
We're always the first
to die in this world.
And I also don't want my grandma's
bonsai to catch fire.
I get you. I wouldn't want to see
the DVD rental store burning down.
You're weird.
Okay, let's go.
On foot, it'll take two hours.
So... let's steal some bikes.
Let's go!
You take it.
Alright.
- It's raining!
- Run!
Put out the cigarette!
Can't you guys do it today?
We have to go check out
an apartment for us.
Can't you postpone it?
We could, but someone
might snatch it from us.
Damn. You guys are useless.
The rent is 40,000 yen
Hey!
Shit...
Who gave you permission
to sell this stuff?
Just pay for it...
Who gave you permission, huh?
Let me go. Let me go!
Do you understand Japanese?!
Huh?!
Come here!
- Let me go!
- I'll kill you, you brat!
Leave me alone!
What are you doing?
What the fuck is this? Come here!
You saved me...
Want some?
Thanks.
That was...
weed, right?
Are you a drug dealer?
No.
Usually someone else does it.
I had to step in.
I grow it.
Really?
"Neuromancer" is the title
of a book, right?
That's brilliant.
Dealing is way too dangerous
for a girl.
- That's my lesson for today.
- I'd say so.
Have you ever smoked?
No.
It smokes like a cigarette.
Really?
Want some?
Huh?
For saving me.
It's worth 20,000 yen.
But I don't have
a bookshelf at home.
This book isn't all that great.
But you can't read this copy anymore.
I don't think so!
How did you cut it?!
Don't you have a dream?
The other day I saw you
rapping in front of the station.
That wasn't me.
Yes, it was you.
You know what?
I think that's fantastic.
Sometimes, people attack others
for example because of their origins.
But hip-hoppers
respect origins.
Working and making music
in your hometown.
Isn't that what
you'd like to do?
Hey, can we talk?
Mil-Mil, what's wrong?
Here's 3 million yen.
Let's split it fifty-fifty.
And when I graduate,
I'm leaving home.
I think it's best
for both of us.
Where did this come from?
I earned it.
With my friends.
I see...
No!
No!
So...
It doesn't matter what
you've done up until now.
Miruku.
Do you know why...
we call you that?
It was Dad's idea.
Exactly.
Once
there was an American politician
named Harvey Milk.
So...
He was...
I know who he is!
And you, do you?
He fought for the rights
of homosexuals.
Did you give me that name
because of Harvey Milk?
I can't believe it...
Did you really name me that
for that reason?
He wanted you to become
a person like Harvey Milk.
Someone who would help
socially disadvantaged people.
Someone like him.
Anyway, Miruku is still
a ridiculous name.
I tried to convince him...
to choose another name.
You should have insisted more.
Neuromancer.
Are you trying... to outsmart me?
You stole my seeds.
I bet you made 20 million.
Let's make it 10 million.
Pay me and I'll leave you alone.
Or else...
I'll tell the police everything.
No one will believe
those seeds were mine.
You wiped your fingerprints clean, huh?!
Boku-Hidemi!
We'll get rid of this.
Anyway, you don't pay us enough.
Don't talk crap!
You're the ones talking!
If we give 10 million,
it won't end here.
If we get caught,
we're screwed!
We don't know you.
We have nothing to do with this!
We're just freshmen.
Come on, Takechi.
You guys can get away with it too.
Deep down, it was my idea.
You can abandon me.
I'm sorry.
Iwakuma, you said
this would happen.
Let's run away.
We sell everything,
get rid of the greenhouse,
and run.
I won't abandon you.
I would never do that.
That's why I was against it.
If I ran away now,
I'd have you on my conscience forever.
Like having a fish bone
stuck in my throat.
I'll help you!
I'll help.
Iwakuma, I'm here too!
Fujiki, not you.
But...
I won't allow it.
You need to stay on the right path.
If they catch us,
draw a manga about us.
But they won't catch us.
[Long-distance bus]
Will everything be okay?
Of course, he's just a college student.
Now we sell these,
then, during spring break,
we get rid of the rest.
And how do we do it?
We'll throw it all in the trash.
Have you ever been to Tokyo?
When I was little,
I went with my family.
And you, Iwaku-Mako?
Once, with Fujiki.
Are you two together?
Is Fujiki your Charmander?
No way!
We went together
to a manga fair.
What? Charmander?
You always talk too much!
What's the problem...
Cut it out.
Also frame Hachiko in the photo.
Like this?
Okay, cheese!
That costs 500 yen.
Too expensive.
Was he trying something?
- He was a talent scout.
- Really?!
But when I flipped him off,
he ran away.
When is the meeting?
At 6 PM.
We have plenty of time.
Hey, let's watch a movie?
- At Cinemavera...
- I'm not going.
Damn...
You ruined it.
- Did it turn out good?
- Yes.
We're cut off!
How awful! Ugh.
It's crap!
Only your eyes
are showing.
- Is it the "peace and love" sign?
- But it's cut off.
Is it here?
Do you have the goods?
Um... the money...
It's in a locker.
Can we check it now?
We didn't want to risk
you being cops and robbing us.
But this...
Deal done.
Stories of young girls who come
to Tokyo and vanish into thin air...
are very common
on the news.
The money wasn't in the locker.
See you around.
[Chiaki Yamaji]
Jackie smoked the weed
and while walking down the street,
he was hit by a car.
Hey.
Hey.
Don't laugh, idiot.
Sorry.
Father's punishment,
mother's scream
Hey, my voice is distorted
Like the woman who died at the intersection
Days stuck to worn-out earphones
A common, dull life
I vomit the anger out
Let the air out, let it all go
The bill comes later
Right in my face
I persist, I won't give up on the ending
In this story we are not alone
We are one and only
Working at the bowling alley, 900 yen an hour
In this city I am condemned
A daily life that seems like it won't change
From the corner of the room I watched you
Now we are sisters
We swore at that intersection
You swore even without the pinky
But a bright future awaits us
The record goes back a few seconds
Run, Forrest, run
Under the rain, the greenhouse doesn't collapse
Under the wind, the sofa doesn't sway
The past summer, your voices
still echo the dreams we told on the beach
Since that night at the intersection
everything changed for us
I steal a bicycle, I steal the sun
It was a movie that made no sense at all
All Greens defeated by life?
That's not how the story ended
I leave the last verse
open as the curtain closes
If you don't get into the rhythm,
you'll be left behind
This is the last beat.
Silence.
Silence!
Next year you'll be graduating,
calm down.
Let's give a proper farewell
to your third-year classmates.
- Do you get it?
- Whatever!
Let's go.
No talking in the hallway!
Karma doesn't exist.
That stuff is bullshit.
But tell me doesn't it piss you off
to just take it and not fight back?
To all graduates,
my best congratulations.
And to all parents present...
I am sure that during
your school years
you acquired values
such as courage and determination.
Keep it up!
Did you do this?
Amazing.
You have a green thumb, huh?
The money?
Inside there.
A while back,
I saw you at an event in Mito.
2Pac, Notorious B.I.G.,
Tokona-X, Lil Peep.
Your playlist of dead rappers
was fun and seemed interesting,
but looking back now,
it was really shallow.
Total garbage.
You...
I'll leave it with you.
Everything.
No panic!
Stay seated!
Stay seated!
Seniors, youre graduating!

"Check it out, yo!"
Yeah, that's all I know too,
but what I saw was...
Different?
- Extraordinary.
- Really?
Wow. I want to hear you rap.
I really do.
- Come on, show us.
- Cut it out!
Run, Boku-Hidemi! Run!
Fujiki!
Oh, yeah?!
Let's draw!
A manga!
Yes!
It's him! It was him!
Get up!
I didn't do anything!
I just ran, like in some
coming-of-age movie.
I'm not going to do anything
good with my life.
But maybe,
that's okay.

What are you reading?
"The Handmaid's Tale".
Never heard of it.
[Condoms]
Sorry.
Sorry, Boku-Hidemi!
Don't be mad.
But what are you guys doing!
The one sitting in my seat
is Miruku Yaguchi.
The annoying class leader.
She's beautiful,
knows how to handle people,
and she's also fast.
Hey. What would happen
if I took my seat back?
There would be a moment
of awkwardness,
then she'd smile and say
"Oh, sorry". That's it.
High school hierarchy
means nothing after graduation.
It'd be nice if she
tripped and died.
So, I think some
of you already know,
but a man was reported
for taking photos of our female students.
It could be me!
Silence.
I said silence!
Girls, go home in groups,
avoid going home alone.
Understood?
As the school rules say,
don't shorten your skirts.
Safety comes first.
Be careful on your way home.

gave up on entering university,

It's because he answers back!
...the fire was reported
by the residents.
It was extinguished after two hours
and a man's body was found...
Come to the table!
It's spring, let's go
Let's dance, dance on.
It's stuck in your ear
I'm Gapeiji, the baddest
Freestyle is a mental challenge
Know what I'm sayin'?
Let's go.
Neuromancer, are you ready?
Freestyle is a mental challenge
That's right, now I'll teach you
I'm no model student,
My life is always a bit messy
Full of crap in my head
like a motherfucker
My body heats up, adrenaline rises
That's the only way I can warm up
Say it's impossible?
You only get a taste by taking a risk
I'm Neuromancer
from the Tokaimura Cypher
No beating around the bush
or fake laughs
I'm laying it all out
Jackie, it's your turn
Neuro passes the baton in the cypher
put up with my rant...
There were no abuses from my father,
no screams from my mother,
or annoying noises.
We were the Tokaimura Cypher.
In that suffocating little town,
I could barely breathe.
Hey, isn't that...
Do you know nosfur-a2?
Yeah, the beatmaker, right?
I mentioned you to him.
He got interested.
Said he can make a beat for you.
Really?!
And why?
Because you're good.
Good beatmakers want
good rappers.
But...
Battle rap isn't your style.
Oh, right. And he wants you
to put on your uniform.
Excuse me...
You're late!
- Nonsense!
- Look!
- Enough nonsense!
- Don't make me lose my temper!
- Come here!
- Let me go!
Come here!
- Honey, no!
- Now I'm going to kill you!
Don't touch me!
There's a keyword.
A keyword?
For what?
To distinguish allies from enemies.

Mayday...

Hey.
What's up?
Hey! What happened?!
Yaguchi! Hey!
What happened? Hey!
Call an ambulance!
Hang in there!
The milling machine cut off Miruku's pinky
like it was butter,
and with it, the fragile friendships
she had around her.
Yaguchi is eating alone.
Strange to see, isn't it?
When Yaguchi's little finger
flew through the air,
a student screamed
and crushed it.
Serves you right, Yaguchi.
The ads on Spotify
are really annoying, aren't they?
They show embarrassing things
just to make you subscribe.
You're right.
Iwakuma, you're smart.
It was obvious.
Exploiting minds that
don't think like you
makes the world go round.
- Let's go to karaoke.
- Yes, I'm in!
- The same place?
- Yes, let's go to the usual one.
But it's far.
I know, but...
Fujiki?
What happened?
Nothing.
Still drawing?
On the idiots who destroy art, sooner or later,
a bolt of lightning will strike their heads.
Did you join a club?
The chemistry club.
I didn't know there was one.
There's only five of us.
It's just that there isn't
a manga club here, right?
Oh, really?
Let's draw a manga together.
I don't know...
I don't want to risk hating
something I'm passionate about.
Remember that woman?
At the intersection.
She was found dead
in the river with her son.
Her violent husband beat her
and she snapped.
She killed him and
set the house on fire.
She was run over
and died in a river.
This little town
has no hope.
My father is violent,
my mother screams all the time.
In here I hear nothing,
only the microphone isn't off.
Like that dead woman,
my life was taken from me.
With worn-out headphones,
I survive in a desolate world.
Are you coming in?
Oh, yes. Excuse me.
Is that your uniform?
What?
Neuromancer,
like in Gibson's novel?
Yes, I love science fiction.
Neuromancer also sounds
like "new romance."
Gibson is a bit heavy,
but also has a romantic side.
What did you think
of the song I sent you?
What style would you like?
Like that group, the Blue Herb.
A stark and lyrical style.
You know...
I'm about to get married.
So I'm thinking of giving it all up.
Even being a DJ?
I'm old already. I can't keep going
to small-town clubs anymore.
I know full well that hip-hop
doesn't pay the bills.
So,
recording your song
might be my last job.
Thank you.
And in return...
you sleep with me.
Then I'll write your song.
You're...
a virgin, right?
Forget it, you idiot.
Never trust what a man gives you.
A lesson I owe to my mother.
We had a deal.
Let me go!
Don't touch me!

Asshole! Let me go!

My grandfather had died two years earlier
and my grandmother
was letting her bonsai wither.
She said climate change
had even affected the bonsai.
The world is falling apart
due to men's incompetence,
but my grandmother
didn't give up.
Thanks for the help.
A little something.
And what's this?
Everything okay?
A few days later,
my grandmother died.
Hidemi.
Aren't you sad
about your grandmother?
Why wouldn't I be?
But you never cried.
Of course... I'm sad.
Then why don't you show it?
It's like you...
don't have a heart.
Why won't you
come to the funeral?!
Get out!
I know you can hear me!
Stop pretending!
Hey! Get out!
I told you to get out!
Huh? Neuro?
What happened to you?
So many things happened.
I locked myself in the house.
Oh.
That whole
nosfur-a2 thing was ugly.
Huh?
You didn't hear?
He was attacked at home.
He's in a coma.
His condition is serious.
No one knows who did it.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Gapeiji was arrested
for trafficking.
Now I have to be
the leader of the cyphers.
Huh?
That day, finally,
I slept like a rock.
What a stomach ache, but I want to resist
So I make up something to start
I look at the world with almost dead eyes
Yet I still have hope for the future
It's fucking hard, hard as hell, damn hard
But still, all that's left is to keep going
Sitting around rotting away is no good
So I rhyme to swim against the current
In fact, I'm a virgin I'm kinda by the book
Even so, don't underestimate me just yet
Time passes and pushes me against the wall
It shows me what lies ahead
I see so you're a virgin, even so
You're okay? Then just jump like bungee
Life is a game: no pain no "game" (gain)
Keep your head up, look ahead, and stand tall
Holding your tongue won't get you anywhere
So raise that middle finger up high
That's right, don't run away
Speak up right here and now
Run away? I'm a rapper...
Hey!
Hey!
Wait.
Why are you running away?
I rap...
But...
don't tell anyone.
Please.
Why?
Because it's embarrassing.
It's cool.
You're enjoying your youth.
Youth?
How I wish
I could enjoy it like that too.
That word "youth"...
It's for people like you.
Laughing together at school,
joining a club, dating...
Friendships, commitment, victory.
"I don't want school to end."
That's just... an oxygenated
stereotype of youth.
A bunch of lies.
Doing what you do
is truly making the most of youth.
Hey, say it again for me.
Forget it.
Oh, really? How annoying.
Hey!
So to you, I'm just trash.
Someone who doesn't speak,
a ridiculous otaku.
I'm the Dazai Osamu of rhymes
But people describe me as a "failure"
Where are the condoms?
Scared now?
That's Akutagawa,
This is Tokaimura!
What the fuck do you want from me at this hour?
Don't even bother telling me your lame ideas
Mocking others turns you on?
Where are your morals?
Are you going to keep
doing that, or not?
Who gave you the authority
to do anything?
This is my public execution
Enjoy this unique occasion!
Happy now? Are you going stay quiet?
Can't you give me an answer?!
I need to drink a good amount
Because feeling like a victim is exhausting!
Stay in your place, newbie!
If winning makes you proud,
go ahead and summon a teacher
I'm such a loser!
It wasn't your dream, mayday!
Do me a favor!
Don't sit on my desk!
Later I'll blow your brains out
The future is in my hands
You're really good!
Worried?
About your hand.
Actually...
I wanted to leave the club.
I had the perfect excuse.
You didn't even like it?
It's like you said.
"Life is no pain no gain."
[Vocational Institute, 2nd Year Class A
Miruku Yaguchi]
Miruku Yaguchi needed
something big to happen to her.
And that something was painful.
Many wrote to me.
When Yaguchi was 12,
her mother went insane.
The reasons were many.
One of them was her husband's death.
Yaguchi's father lost his life
at the nuclear plant where he worked.
It wasn't the radiation
that killed him, but a fall.
Another reason was
the 2011 earthquake.
The fear of invisible radiation
made her realize something.
By isolating herself from the world,
she would eliminate her worries.
Her fears had a single cause:
the nuclear plant.
The radiation gave life
to horrible monsters,
and somehow
her mother became a Godzilla.
Yaguchi always
wondered about one thing.
If she had hit her head,
would everything go back to normal?
I got a sushi coupon!
Really?
Yaguchi tried hard to play
the role of the perfect daughter.
Because if she didn't,
she'd end up killing her.
Like in the movie "Carrie".
She started building
another image of herself,
that of the cheerful,
lively and shallow girl,
and always happy.
It was like wearing a mask.
Okay... for me, Torotaku
(tuna with radish).
[Said we'd have surprise sushi today
and my daughter went crazy with joy]
Thank you, dear Miru-chan!
I needed something
big to happen.
If I did nothing,
nothing would change.
You could even say,
that I'm the character of a
clich coming-of-age film or novel.
In the end, I'll reconcile
with my mother and my name.
Maybe I'll even end up thinking
that life in this small town
isn't so bad after all.
Yes, maybe you're right.
Everything sucks.
But wouldn't that be
the same old story?
I'll abandon my mother,
I'll leave this small town,
and never come back.
Now that would be a happy ending.
Love for family and my homeland?
Not for me.
It's not normal to accept
things as they are. That's crazy.
Our lives shouldn't be
like those cheap novels
sold in used bookstores.
Boku-Hidemi,
do you want to live here forever?
Hell no.
But to leave,
you need money.
What about prostitution?
Like in "Poor Things".
- What's that?
- A movie.
No, I couldn't do it.
Having sex with strangers for money?
It makes me want to throw up.
Just an idea.
There must be other ways.
Like what?
Stealing bicycles.
Bicycles?!
Iwakuma?
Ugh.
[Vocational Institute, 2nd Year Class A
Mako Iwakuma]
Don't follow me.
We can't do anything.
We're heading the same way.
By any chance, are you...
prostituting yourselves?
I heard you talking about it.
We were just...
speaking hypothetically.
Iwaku-Mako,
do you work at the bowling alley?
Wasn't it obvious
just by looking?
Do you need money?
And who doesn't?
Why do you need it?
My parents are farmers
and I have no siblings.
They want me to marry
a man who'll take over the business.
So outdated!
It's obvious I want to get out
of this small town,
earning 953 yen an hour.
If we stay in this place...
we'll end up...
like that woman?
Hey.
What if I said,
"Let's make money together"?
How? Rob a bank?
Pull a scam?
I'd say we can
fall into that category.
Cool.
Hey, hey.
Go on, tell us.
Weed.
I said weed!
I got some seeds.
We grow it
and then sell it.
Are you crazy?
Look, here they are!
Hey, if this stuff is real
why are you carrying it around?
My mom cleans my room
without asking permission.
Boku-Hidemi, you're not smart enough
to come up with a prank like that.
That's not much of a compliment.
But it's fantastic!
Let's do it.
You guys are crazy.
I want nothing to do with this.
Iwaku-Mako!
This is a big mission for us.
Huh?
The quiz begins.
What's the final destination of a delinquent
from the countryside when they look for a job?
The answer is the "police".
And there's a cop right behind us.
What do we do?
Sorry!
Give it back!
Hey! Don't run!
Rafa (dreamingbleu)
[All Greens]
We need a place
to grow it.
Iwaku-Mako.
You were in the gardening club.
But only for a year.
How nice.
- The gardening club...
- Yeah.
It closed because of
that Konno "Lolita" thing.
Because of the child
pornography videos in the room?
Let's use the club's greenhouse.
And how?
They'll find us out
just for using it.
Let's re-establish
the club as a group.
That way we can use it.
Not if they assign us a teacher.
Groups don't get supervisors.
You did your research.
We just need
to declare a purpose.
and have three members.
Huh?
Then we have a group!
Let's go.
And what do we put
as the purpose?
Improve the school's greenery?
[Name: Gardening Group
Purpose: Improve the school's greenery]
[Approved]
[Teachers' Room]
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
It was a piece of cake.
[NO ENTRY]
It won't open.
What do you mean?
Why not?
It looks like a dump.
Oh, damn...
Unbelievable, it's like we're
in a dystopian movie.
Smell it.
- First we fix these holes...
- Wait.
I haven't said
I'm joining yet.
What are you saying?
Now that we've come this far.
Do you want the money or not?
I don't want to walk
on such a shaky bridge.
Iwakuma, here in the club
you'll just be a member...
...member? Associate?
Whatever.
And you'll cultivate the weed
without knowing it.
We'll give you your share,
but officially you know nothing.
What do you think?
What if we get caught?
We won't let ourselves get caught.
You two are evil.
Yaguchi.
Tell me your favorite manga.
A manga?
Usually I don't read much...
Maybe... "World Is Mine"?
The title is "THE World Is Mine".
It's the same thing!
"THE"!
This place stinks.
What should we do?
Let's use this.
[Welcome to Tokaimura!]
[But there's nothing worth seeing here]
That sofa...
That sofa!
Let's grab it!
Are you serious?
It's perfect!
Pull it up!
It's too heavy.
Yaguchi, help us!
- But I don't have my pinky.
- Hold it!
- Hold here.
- Wait, wait!
Wait! Our stuff!
- Our stuff!
- Yeah, wait!
Hey.
Yaguchi, damn it.
Come on, help us out!
- Let's go.
- Oh, wait!
- Hurry up. - Okay, I'm coming.
That many?
- Open it.
- How many do we put in?
- Maybe two.
- Two?
- Weed...
- I'm not sure.
Place in a bright spot,
they'll germinate in two weeks.
Is that right?
It's a bit suspicious.
Will they really grow?
Summer break starts tomorrow.
Don't slack off.
For the seedlings,
a few weeks are needed.
There are the certification exams.
Still three months
until harvest.
[August watering schedule]
- I'm not in the mood.
- Come on, let's go.
Would you like to come with us to the
Godard Retro Film Festival?
What was that movie last time?
Took ages to watch.
- It was "Tout va bien".
- Right.
Back then, Godard wasn't
making commercial films anymore.
It might not seem interesting, but...
You can watch it on streaming.
Movies are made
to be seen on the big screen,
even the environment
you watch them in...
Anyway, I'll pass.
I'm seeing someone.
Bye-bye.
[Amaya-Za Cinema - September schedule:
John Cassavetes]
[They capture love, loss, and life in an
intimate way, shaking the emotions of viewers.]
I think it's a boy.
A boy?
Otherwise she wouldn't be so excited.
They're also showing
Cassavetes films.
This cinema is amazing.
I don't care about
other people's love lives.
Okay, who was your first love?
I'm not talking about sex.
Who made your heart beat faster?
It could be a famous person
or a manga character.
Those aren't questions you ask.
Charmander, I guess.
You know who I'm talking about,
Charmander from Pokmon.
The lizard with the flaming tail.
In one episode, he gets all wet,
including his flame,
gets weak and
is at risk of dying.
That scene is... beautiful.
Are you sexually attracted
to Charmander?
Of course not.
Tell me.
How do you know when it's best
to stay away from someone?
If after a movie at the cinema
she tells me "That was long".
It's fixed now.
Thank you so much, Jackie.
You're welcome. That skateboard
wheel didn't match mine.
Neuro, are you seeing anyone?
Huh?
I mean, you know
how to rhyme well
and you're also funny.
I think you're... fuckin' awesome.
I was thinking that maybe
we could be more than friends...
What do you think?
I see...
I see.
It's just that...
I'm not good with these things.
That doesn't mean
you're not attractive.
I understand.
Don't worry. Seriously...
You know, in high school
I went to therapy.
For alcoholism.
Really?
I got bored.
Time passed, or maybe it didn't,
and that scared me.
I mixed vodka and Red Bull
every day until I passed out.
If I were a rapper,
I'd talk about it in a song.
But you are a rapper, Jackie.
It's not an interesting
story for a rap,
and I know I'm not cool enough
to make a good song out of it.
Neuro, don't give up.
Break out and get out of here.
Forget everything
and get the hell out of this town,
just do what
you want to do.
That's exactly my plan.
You should do that too, Jackie!
Alright.
What is it?
No, I'd start dreaming
about it again and I don't want to.
Oh, yeah? Take care.
Miru-chan!
What's up, Toki-chan?
What did you do today?
I went to karaoke with my friends.
Really...?
Look... after work
I did this.
How cool!
It's not here.
It's not, it's not!
What's wrong?
I can't find the necklace
I made for you.
- It's no problem.
- No! No, no, no!
This isn't right!
Why?! It's not, it's not here!
- Why?! Where is it?
- Don't worry.
It's not here!
Huh?! Where did it go?!
Well...
We always used
that greenhouse.
We didn't even know the gardening
club had been reactivated.
You "always used it"?
But now that it's back,
stop using it, okay? It's disgusting.
Well, that's impossible
At home, we share
a room with our siblings,
and we don't have money...
That's not our problem,
you greenhouse perverts!
Huh? So what? It's no big deal,
despite being two guys.
Your sexuality
isn't the issue.
I'm talking about morals, you know?
"Morality"?
"Morality"?
You guys are... growing weed.
What are you saying?
I heard you...
talking about it.
Are you... going to sell it?
We... want to live
together after graduation.
So... can you hire us?
Two months later,
harvest time had come.
Do we harvest this part?
Yeah.
We dry and grind it.
We'll sell it for
5,000 yen per gram,
we have two kilograms,
so multiply by 2,000.
10 million yen?
10 million yen?!
I can't believe it.
Me neither.
What would happen if one of us
got too greedy and betrayed us,
and we got caught...
No, what a nightmare!
Anyway, how are
we going to sell it?
We'll use an app that automatically
deletes the chat with customers.
Like real criminals.
Don't say things like that.
Those plants...
will they keep sprouting?
I think so.
We'll graduate in two years,
what do you think about passing
this activity on to the freshmen?
Many of us at school
need money.
In a few years
we'd become an urban legend.
An echo that resonates through the halls
of this low-level vocacional school.
On the surface,
passionate about gardening.
In reality, a criminal club
that acts like a drug cartel...
That's so badass!
Let's think of a name!
If it were useful to someone,
I'd do it with more pleasure.
Iwakuma, who would have thought
you were the most naive of the three.
Being naive isn't a bad thing.
Having someone like you in the group
will make business run better.
Especially the illegal ones.
You're right.
You two are crazy,
someone needs to be sensible.
You're not exactly
normal either.
If only it were
to help someone...
Even among criminals
there are good ones, right?
Every criminal has
their excuses, don't they?
And who doesn't?
Besides, karma doesn't exist.
It's all nonsense.
There are ways to escape
karma before it catches you.
So let's call ourselves
"The" something.
What are we, a band?
- The.
- The.
"The" something.
"The...
...Bad Girls".
- Seriously?
- No, it's cringy.
Forget it.
- It's awful!
- Enough!
- "The Bad Girls" won't work!
- It's terrible!
In the end,
like our jumpsuits,
we became the
"All Greens".
Turns out "Bad Girls" wasn't
so bad after all.
A little more.
Quick.
- How sensitive you are!
- Don't throw it!
[Hase Seish - Utsuro no
(The King of Emptiness)]
[Nov 9, 12 PM]
[South exit, 20,000 yen, cash]
That guy?
No, could it be
that person over there?
What do you think?
Wow...
Looks can be deceiving.
Hey, don't take pictures.
The sale went better
than expected.
The procedure was simple.
We'd send the location to the customer
through an app,
it could be a bank
or a payphone,
and the payment was in cash.
Takechi and Murakami made the deliveries
for 20,000 yen a day each.
Everything is going very well,
that makes me a bit uneasy.
We're not doing anything wrong.
Actually, we are.
Of course we are.
It's on.
Finally.
Things like "what do you want to do"
or "what are your dreams"
aren't something you can
figure out just by trying hard.
If you don't have that,
acknowledge that you don't.
And live according to your reality.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Sit up straight.
If you can eat, shelter yourself
from the rain and wind,
and above all, stay alive
that in itself is a worthy thing.
Boku?
It's me.
Thank you.
Your order.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
My grades are crap,
so I won't get a good job, right?
I'll be paid by the hour
at some shopping mall.
Maybe I'll marry a coworker
and give birth right in the store.
I'll buy a cheap car.
And my kid will be a delinquent.
My husband will cheat on me and by
thirty I'll become a single mom.
And you'll still be doing rap?
You make rap music?!
You didn't know?
- Boku-Hidemi is really good.
- Cut it out!
I'm going to become a rapper,
and I'm getting out of here.
And you, Iwaku-Mako?
I wanted to draw manga.
Wanted?
But I draw really badly.
Do you know that type
of middle-aged woman
who lives with
a bunch of animals?
Yeah, of course.
I want to become like that.
I want to always stay home
and never go out.
But not in this small town, right?
You can say that out loud.
Pass it over here.
As for me,
I want to work in film.
Why?
It's just me and my mom,
so to kill time, I always rented
DVDs and watched movies.
I'm going to make money, get out
of here as fast as possible,
go to Tokyo
and get a gig on a set.
Once I've gained
enough experience,
I'll shoot a film of my own.
Good for you.
I saw something online.
By applying heat
and pressing the weed,
you can make a concentrate
with a consistency like wax.
What's it for?
Being pure, it's stronger
and sells for a higher price.
We could sell 0.5 grams
for about 10,000 yen.
Really?!
The chemistry club
has gas canisters and test tubes.
We could make it with those.
Miss Iwaku-Mako,
you're quite the schemer.
It's just a matter of practicality.
And I know...
someone in the chemistry club...
What's that?
A manga.
About what?
It's like the manga "River's Edge".
Here's a story.
Some high school girls
grow weed and sell it.
So?
To refine it and sell it better,
they get a member
of the chemistry club involved.
So the gardening club
was for...
Do you want...
to get rich with us?
The first rule of All Greens is...
you do not talk
about All Greens.
The second rule of All Greens is
you do not talk
about All Greens.
I've always dreamed
of saying that!
You don't know it?
Really?
- Better go.
- Yeah, let's head back.
Hey! We just started!
Wait up!
You're older than them...
Can I redo it?
First, we put the dry weed
into the test tube.
With a sealed lid,
we could extract more,
but for now
we'll simplify the process.
I'll use a coffee filter.
Then, we introduce butane...
It's dangerous.
Don't smoke now, please.
"It's dangerous. Don't smoke."
Do you really need to say that?
When introduced, the butane
vaporizes and expands,
the heat is removed
and the contents quickly cool down.
By vaporizing the outer components,
you can produce a purer concentrate.
You're awesome!
The wax production was successful
and profits skyrocketed.
With great ease...
we amassed a fortune.
[Maison d'Olive Minami-Otsuka Apartment]
No, no! That would be fantastic!
- It's perfect.
- Really?
Boku-Hidemi!
Boku-Hidemi!
What is it?!
Don't shout my name.
I wanted to be called
Kurumi or Mikuru.
Why Miruku of all things?
It's written with the characters for "beauty,"
"flow," and "chrysanthemum."
I know.
You'll think I have weird parents
for deciding to call me "Milk".
No...
Actually, it's like that.
Every time I hear "Hey! Miruku!",
I want to die.
But why did they choose Miruku?
Because of Harvey Milk.
How sophisticated.
At least that's what I always say.
My parents didn't even know
who Harvey Milk was.
Want to watch a movie?
Now?
They're showing
"The Man Who Stole the Sun."
Huh?
You don't know it?
It's famous.
No.
A failed high school teacher
builds a nuclear bomb
and threatens the government.
There's a scene where
he steals the plutonium.
Know how? He breaks
into the Tokaimura nuclear plant.
And it's really badass.
What would you do...
if you had a nuclear bomb?
I'd use it here.
Me too!
I'd reduce this town to ashes.
But in that case,
the ones who'd suffer would be
people like us, the powerless.
We're always the first
to die in this world.
And I also don't want my grandma's
bonsai to catch fire.
I get you. I wouldn't want to see
the DVD rental store burning down.
You're weird.
Okay, let's go.
On foot, it'll take two hours.
So... let's steal some bikes.
Let's go!
You take it.
Alright.
- It's raining!
- Run!
Put out the cigarette!
Can't you guys do it today?
We have to go check out
an apartment for us.
Can't you postpone it?
We could, but someone
might snatch it from us.
Damn. You guys are useless.
The rent is 40,000 yen
Hey!
Shit...
Who gave you permission
to sell this stuff?
Just pay for it...
Who gave you permission, huh?
Let me go. Let me go!
Do you understand Japanese?!
Huh?!
Come here!
- Let me go!
- I'll kill you, you brat!
Leave me alone!
What are you doing?
What the fuck is this? Come here!
You saved me...
Want some?
Thanks.
That was...
weed, right?
Are you a drug dealer?
No.
Usually someone else does it.
I had to step in.
I grow it.
Really?
"Neuromancer" is the title
of a book, right?
That's brilliant.
Dealing is way too dangerous
for a girl.
- That's my lesson for today.
- I'd say so.
Have you ever smoked?
No.
It smokes like a cigarette.
Really?
Want some?
Huh?
For saving me.
It's worth 20,000 yen.
But I don't have
a bookshelf at home.
This book isn't all that great.
But you can't read this copy anymore.
I don't think so!
How did you cut it?!
Don't you have a dream?
The other day I saw you
rapping in front of the station.
That wasn't me.
Yes, it was you.
You know what?
I think that's fantastic.
Sometimes, people attack others
for example because of their origins.
But hip-hoppers
respect origins.
Working and making music
in your hometown.
Isn't that what
you'd like to do?
Hey, can we talk?
Mil-Mil, what's wrong?
Here's 3 million yen.
Let's split it fifty-fifty.
And when I graduate,
I'm leaving home.
I think it's best
for both of us.
Where did this come from?
I earned it.
With my friends.
I see...
No!
No!
So...
It doesn't matter what
you've done up until now.
Miruku.
Do you know why...
we call you that?
It was Dad's idea.
Exactly.
Once
there was an American politician
named Harvey Milk.
So...
He was...
I know who he is!
And you, do you?
He fought for the rights
of homosexuals.
Did you give me that name
because of Harvey Milk?
I can't believe it...
Did you really name me that
for that reason?
He wanted you to become
a person like Harvey Milk.
Someone who would help
socially disadvantaged people.
Someone like him.
Anyway, Miruku is still
a ridiculous name.
I tried to convince him...
to choose another name.
You should have insisted more.
Neuromancer.
Are you trying... to outsmart me?
You stole my seeds.
I bet you made 20 million.
Let's make it 10 million.
Pay me and I'll leave you alone.
Or else...
I'll tell the police everything.
No one will believe
those seeds were mine.
You wiped your fingerprints clean, huh?!
Boku-Hidemi!
We'll get rid of this.
Anyway, you don't pay us enough.
Don't talk crap!
You're the ones talking!
If we give 10 million,
it won't end here.
If we get caught,
we're screwed!
We don't know you.
We have nothing to do with this!
We're just freshmen.
Come on, Takechi.
You guys can get away with it too.
Deep down, it was my idea.
You can abandon me.
I'm sorry.
Iwakuma, you said
this would happen.
Let's run away.
We sell everything,
get rid of the greenhouse,
and run.
I won't abandon you.
I would never do that.
That's why I was against it.
If I ran away now,
I'd have you on my conscience forever.
Like having a fish bone
stuck in my throat.
I'll help you!
I'll help.
Iwakuma, I'm here too!
Fujiki, not you.
But...
I won't allow it.
You need to stay on the right path.
If they catch us,
draw a manga about us.
But they won't catch us.
[Long-distance bus]
Will everything be okay?
Of course, he's just a college student.
Now we sell these,
then, during spring break,
we get rid of the rest.
And how do we do it?
We'll throw it all in the trash.
Have you ever been to Tokyo?
When I was little,
I went with my family.
And you, Iwaku-Mako?
Once, with Fujiki.
Are you two together?
Is Fujiki your Charmander?
No way!
We went together
to a manga fair.
What? Charmander?
You always talk too much!
What's the problem...
Cut it out.
Also frame Hachiko in the photo.
Like this?
Okay, cheese!
That costs 500 yen.
Too expensive.
Was he trying something?
- He was a talent scout.
- Really?!
But when I flipped him off,
he ran away.
When is the meeting?
At 6 PM.
We have plenty of time.
Hey, let's watch a movie?
- At Cinemavera...
- I'm not going.
Damn...
You ruined it.
- Did it turn out good?
- Yes.
We're cut off!
How awful! Ugh.
It's crap!
Only your eyes
are showing.
- Is it the "peace and love" sign?
- But it's cut off.
Is it here?
Do you have the goods?
Um... the money...
It's in a locker.
Can we check it now?
We didn't want to risk
you being cops and robbing us.
But this...
Deal done.
Stories of young girls who come
to Tokyo and vanish into thin air...
are very common
on the news.
The money wasn't in the locker.
See you around.
[Chiaki Yamaji]
Jackie smoked the weed
and while walking down the street,
he was hit by a car.
Hey.
Hey.
Don't laugh, idiot.
Sorry.
Father's punishment,
mother's scream
Hey, my voice is distorted
Like the woman who died at the intersection
Days stuck to worn-out earphones
A common, dull life
I vomit the anger out
Let the air out, let it all go
The bill comes later
Right in my face
I persist, I won't give up on the ending
In this story we are not alone
We are one and only
Working at the bowling alley, 900 yen an hour
In this city I am condemned
A daily life that seems like it won't change
From the corner of the room I watched you
Now we are sisters
We swore at that intersection
You swore even without the pinky
But a bright future awaits us
The record goes back a few seconds
Run, Forrest, run
Under the rain, the greenhouse doesn't collapse
Under the wind, the sofa doesn't sway
The past summer, your voices
still echo the dreams we told on the beach
Since that night at the intersection
everything changed for us
I steal a bicycle, I steal the sun
It was a movie that made no sense at all
All Greens defeated by life?
That's not how the story ended
I leave the last verse
open as the curtain closes
If you don't get into the rhythm,
you'll be left behind
This is the last beat.
Silence.
Silence!
Next year you'll be graduating,
calm down.
Let's give a proper farewell
to your third-year classmates.
- Do you get it?
- Whatever!
Let's go.
No talking in the hallway!
Karma doesn't exist.
That stuff is bullshit.
But tell me doesn't it piss you off
to just take it and not fight back?
To all graduates,
my best congratulations.
And to all parents present...
I am sure that during
your school years
you acquired values
such as courage and determination.
Keep it up!
Did you do this?
Amazing.
You have a green thumb, huh?
The money?
Inside there.
A while back,
I saw you at an event in Mito.
2Pac, Notorious B.I.G.,
Tokona-X, Lil Peep.
Your playlist of dead rappers
was fun and seemed interesting,
but looking back now,
it was really shallow.
Total garbage.
You...
I'll leave it with you.
Everything.
No panic!
Stay seated!
Stay seated!
Seniors, youre graduating!
[This room is ventilated to prevent

Get out of the way!

My name is Boku Hidemi!
My name is Boku Hidemi!
Come on, eat!
What do the rappers say?
"Check it out, yo!"
Yeah, that's all I know too,
but what I saw was...
Different?
- Extraordinary.
- Really?
Wow. I want to hear you rap.
I really do.
- Come on, show us.
- Cut it out!
Run, Boku-Hidemi! Run!
Fujiki!
Oh, yeah?!
Let's draw!
A manga!
Yes!
It's him! It was him!
Get up!
I didn't do anything!
I just ran, like in some
coming-of-age movie.
I'm not going to do anything
good with my life.
But maybe,
that's okay.
