Tokyo Nights (2025) Movie Script

For you, what is
the meaning of love?
For me...
Uhm...
Give respect to your partner,
and give him time,
so he will not seek it
from someone else.
Hmm...
Love?
I still don't know
what love is for others,
but for me, love is...
when you communicate
and support each other,
your relationship will go well
and you'll be happy.
Well...
That's what I think love is.
Love?
Love is...
When you accept everything
about your partner,
everything bad about him
and everything good about him,
I think that's love.
Is sex important in your life?
Very important.
Why?
That makes your relationship
much deeper.
Wow!
This is so nice!
- We're staying here?
- Yes, honey!
It's our honeymoon...
Hey, isn't this expensive?
Don't worry.
Of course, it's our honeymoon,
so it should be special.
Hey!
Hey, let's do it later!
Hey, let's do it later...
For you, is physical love important?
Why?
Yes.
Why is it important?
So he can feel your love.
Shit!
How do you decide
if you love someone?
Do you decide
based on sex?
Or...
Is it based on
emotional love?
Well...
There's the part
about communication.
If you decide based only on
sex without communication,
you won't be able to
handle the relationship.
Well...
Love is more important. I think.
Kara?
Kara?
Marvin?
Hey, Marvin
is that you?
What are you
doing here?
This is my husband...
It's our honeymoon!
Maybe you can
take us around?
Oh, he's your husband?
Kenji.
Are you free?
Yes I'm free,
I'm not busy right now.
So, let's go?
- Let's go!
- Come on!
How did you end up
here in Japan?
Because my father is here.
My stepdad is here.
That's why I came to Japan.
What's your job again?
You're a "Man for Hire?"
Yeah, it's like this...
You can rent me to
accompany you anywhere you like.
Or just to keep you company.
There are a lot of
lonely Japanese people.
So I keep them company.
You make good money?
It's not bad...
- Maybe in a day at least 30 thousand yen?
- Wow!
And if they're really satisfied
50,000 yen.
In a day.
Wow, that's a big deal!
Not really, I've got so much expenses.
Is that all that keeps you busy?
For now, yeah. Because...
I like skateboarding,
and snowboarding...
I just do it in
my free time.
When I run out of money.
So whereabouts
do you live?
Near Ueno,
I live near Ueno.
Hmm...
Max, you're an engineer, right?
What kind of engineer?
Civil, bro...
Wow, civil engineer!
You must make a lot of money!
That's how you could afford
to rent this unit.
Kenji?
Why did you change
your name to Kenji?
Aren't you Marvin?
Well, it's because my
stepdad adopted me.
So I changed
my name to Kenji.
I'm not Marvin anymore.
Oh, that's why....
[sighs]
Good for you, you were
able to move abroad.
- Not really...
- Me, all I do is work.
I've always wanted
to move to some other country.
- What do you wanna do?
- Shit! I can't even do it.
I can't even take a leave.
- Hmm...
- All I do is work.
I totally envy you, bro.
- You're in a better place.
- Why do you say that?
You don't need to envy me.
Wait, why did you
stop drinking?
Well... I think I'm good.
I'm getting sleepy.
- Shit...
- Do you still want more?
Bottoms up, bro...
Hey Kenji...
It's getting late.
You probably already missed
the last train.
I know, I'll probably just
take a taxi home.
But taxi fare is
so expensive.
Then why don't you
just stay here?
There's another room upstairs...
Are you sure?
I don't want to bother you two...
Especially Max...
But sure!
I'll just take the first train tomorrow.
Kenji.
- Kenji.
- Hmm?
Hey, Kenji!
Hey!
What are you doing here?
I can't sleep.
You should be with Max!
Why, don't you miss me?
But you two just got married!
Huh?
So what?
No, it's not like that.
Of course, I missed you too. But...
Max is a nice guy...
Let him be,
he's just sleeping.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Why? Don't you want to?
No, it's not like that!
Max is such a nice guy!
So what?
I knew it, you're gay!
I'm not gay!
What are you talking about?
All our classmates told me
you're gay, now I know!
Hey, what are you doing here?
Obviously, we need to talk.
You're a "Man For Hire", right?
Well, here's ten thousand yen!
Take off your pants...
Here's 20 thousand yen...
Here's 30 thousand yen...
- Kara, please.
- Here's 40 thousand yen...
That's already 50 thousand yen!
Kara...
I'm not a prostitute!
How dare you...
You're already paid for.
Just lie down.
Son of a bitch!
Bullshit!
Hurry, just go!
Hey, you guys!
You're swimming
and didn't even invite me?
Alright...
I'll join you guys.
Looks like you're
having fun here!
Babe, you woke up?
Son of a bitch!
Who is this?
Do you think
physical love is important?
Why?
Physical love?
Physical love is...
Very important...
But...
Love is more important, I think.
Kenji, what are you doing?
Tanya, wait a minute!
What do you mean?
Who is this bitch?
Who the hell are you?
Come here, you bitch!
I said, come here!
What are you doing,
and who is this bitch?
- She's just a friend.
- What do you mean friend?
- Wait a minute!
- Wait what?
- I said wait!
- I don't need your explanation.
It's very obvious.
I've been texting you!
That's why...
How come you never replied?
Because we were talking.
Because I've been working.
Working? You call this working?
Is this what you call work?
You're an animal!
You're an animal!
- I'll explain...
- I don't need your explanation!
- Why?
- Are you kidding me?
What are you doing with a man
and a woman? You're disgusting!
- That's what I'm trying to explain!
- You call this a job?
Who are you?
How did you even
get in here?
I saw it on the GPS
that you were here!
But that's not important now!
You're an animal!
Who are you?
- You bitch!
- Wait a minute... wait a minute!
I said wait a minute!
I said, let me explain!
I don't understand
what's going on here!
That's why!
You always get angry so quickly!
Who are you?
What are you doing here
and how did you get in?
I should be asking you that.
That guy is my boyfriend!
- Who are you?
- That's my wife!
That's my boyfriend!
Will you please stop? Stop it!
Let me explain,
please calm down!
Let's talk. Just calm down.
I can't.
Kenji, how can you do this?
Just please calm down.
- I can't calm down!
- I said, let me explain!
But first, please calm down.
I can't explain if you don't calm down...
Calm down...
Are you okay?
Have you calmed down?
Please explain.
Okay, I'll explain.
But if I talk in Japanese
they won't understand.
So I'll explain in Tagalog.
Let me speak in Tagalog,
so you guys can understand.
Please do. You've been speaking
Japanese all through out.
We don't understand anything.
I'm sorry.
Can someone explain
what's happening here?
We're on our honeymoon.
Then I bumped into them
on the street.
This is Kara.
She's my ex-girlfriend.
Your ex?
But I didn't expect
to see her.
But how did you
end up like this?
- We were all drunk... It's a long story.
- It's a long story.
It's a long story.
Calm down.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please understand.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just stop crying.
I'm sorry.
Tanya, please forgive me!
- Tanya.
- It's okay, it's okay.
I'm sorry.
Let's say you might be perfect.
But I feel something is missing.
Maybe...
Maybe, I found in her
what I wanted.
What do you want?
I can't explain it!
Is this what you want?
If this is what you want,
then I will give it to you.
I just don't want
to lose you!
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry.
What was your biggest regret
about someone you really loved?
Yes, there's someone...
Well...
I was very stupid...
But she still continued
to support me...
No matter how many times
I made mistakes.
She always forgave me.
She always understood me.
If I could talk to her right now...
If I could say one thing...
forgive me for wasting
your life away on me.
I want to say,
I'm really sorry.
If you had a chance to talk
to someone you really loved,
what would you
tell him right now?
Perhaps we could correct
all the mistakes we made,
and maybe try
to fix everything
that we have broken.
That's all.
What is your biggest regret
about someone
you really loved?
That I gave him
all of me.
Why do you regret that?
Because at that time...
There was almost
nothing left of me.
Is physical love important?
Why?
For me, sex is, of course,
It is a form of communication
beyond talking.
That's how you feel
your partner's love.
That's why I like
physical love in a relationship.
Do you decide love for someone
based on how you're satisfied
with sex with that someone?
From my experience,
I've never had
anyone like that.
Is there someone
you can never forget
because you enjoyed
the sex so much?
Hmm...
I don't think so... no one.
Have you ever had sex
without love?
Yes I have, but...
As expected,
I was never satisfied.
Have you ever loved someone
even without sex?
Never.
Have you ever had
sex without love?
No, I haven't tried.
Have you ever loved
someone without sex?
Not yet.
Have you ever had sex
without love?
Of course.
No matter how...
I mean, if there's no love,
if you don't feel any love,
you won't know how
to please your partner
then you can
never enjoy sex together.
so after you have an orgasm,
it doesn't really feel good.
Is there someone
you'll never forget
because you enjoyed
the sex so much?
Well, there was one.
Why did you break up?
Well, because I cheated on her.
Whose fault was it?
No, it was my fault.
I met a cute girl,
we dated and slept together,
we got caught...
And that was the end of it.
Please define love.
Love?
Love is...
I think love is when...
you learn to accept both
the good and the bad in your partner.
I think that's love.
If you had a chance to talk
to the only person
you ever loved,
what would you
tell him right now?
Thank you for everything.
I'm so grateful.
Do you want to say something?
Anything? About sex and love?
Is there a difference
between sex and love?
Almost the same for me.
Babe, Japan is so nice, isn't it?
It really is.
Don't worry.
We'll come back here next year.
I feel like I want
to live here.
It's so expensive here!
Next time, we'll just
extend our vacation here.
Maybe for two weeks, babe.
But maybe if you find a job here,
I think we can do it...
we can live here.
Well, we can think about it.
But for now...
Maybe we'll just extend
our vacation.
Surely, we'll come
back here next year.
I feel like life is so
much easier here.
If you ask me,
I'd rather live here.
Maybe you're just getting
carried away, babe.
Maybe once a year,
we can go back to Japan
for vacation.
Besides, think about it.
If we stay here...
our future kids
will most probably
speak Japanese.
I have a hard time
understanding Japanese.
And babe,
I just can't leave
my job in Manila.
As for me, babe...
I think I'll just stay here.
I'll ask Kenji
to help me find
an apartment.
I'm sure there's a cheap
apartment I can rent here.
Babe...
But what about me?
How come you never
showed up until now?
You know... I've waited
for you for so long.
Max loves you.
But like I said,
you're the one I love.
We're not meant to be.
Which is more important?
The feeling of love?
Or physical love?
Both...
Why?
Because that's how you will feel...
the real meaning of love.
For you, what is
the meaning of love?
For me...
Uhm...
Give respect to your partner,
and give him time,
so he will not seek it
from someone else.
Hmm...
Love?
I still don't know
what love is for others,
but for me, love is...
when you communicate
and support each other,
your relationship will go well
and you'll be happy.
Well...
That's what I think love is.
Love?
Love is...
When you accept everything
about your partner,
everything bad about him
and everything good about him,
I think that's love.
Is sex important in your life?
Very important.
Why?
That makes your relationship
much deeper.
Wow!
This is so nice!
- We're staying here?
- Yes, honey!
It's our honeymoon...
Hey, isn't this expensive?
Don't worry.
Of course, it's our honeymoon,
so it should be special.
Hey!
Hey, let's do it later!
Hey, let's do it later...
For you, is physical love important?
Why?
Yes.
Why is it important?
So he can feel your love.
Shit!
How do you decide
if you love someone?
Do you decide
based on sex?
Or...
Is it based on
emotional love?
Well...
There's the part
about communication.
If you decide based only on
sex without communication,
you won't be able to
handle the relationship.
Well...
Love is more important. I think.
Kara?
Kara?
Marvin?
Hey, Marvin
is that you?
What are you
doing here?
This is my husband...
It's our honeymoon!
Maybe you can
take us around?
Oh, he's your husband?
Kenji.
Are you free?
Yes I'm free,
I'm not busy right now.
So, let's go?
- Let's go!
- Come on!
How did you end up
here in Japan?
Because my father is here.
My stepdad is here.
That's why I came to Japan.
What's your job again?

Yeah, it's like this...
You can rent me to
accompany you anywhere you like.
Or just to keep you company.

You make good money?
It's not bad...
- Maybe in a day at least 30 thousand yen?
- Wow!
And if they're really satisfied
50,000 yen.
In a day.
Wow, that's a big deal!
Not really, I've got so much expenses.
Is that all that keeps you busy?
For now, yeah. Because...
I like skateboarding,
and snowboarding...
I just do it in
my free time.
When I run out of money.
So whereabouts
do you live?
Near Ueno,
I live near Ueno.
Hmm...
Max, you're an engineer, right?
What kind of engineer?
Civil, bro...
Wow, civil engineer!
You must make a lot of money!
That's how you could afford
to rent this unit.
Kenji?
Why did you change

Aren't you Marvin?
Well, it's because my

You don't need to envy me.
Wait, why did you

I'm getting sleepy.

Bottoms up, bro...

No, it's not like that.
Of course, I missed you too. But...
Max is a nice guy...
Let him be,
he's just sleeping.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Why? Don't you want to?
No, it's not like that!

That's already 50 thousand yen!
Kara...
I'm not a prostitute!
How dare you...
You're already paid for.
Just lie down.
Son of a bitch!
Bullshit!
Hurry, just go!
Hey, you guys!

Alright...

Who the hell are you?
Come here, you bitch!

I should be asking you that.
That guy is my boyfriend!
- Who are you?
- That's my wife!
That's my boyfriend!
Will you please stop? Stop it!
Let me explain,
please calm down!
Let's talk. Just calm down.
I can't.
Kenji, how can you do this?
Just please calm down.
- I can't calm down!
- I said, let me explain!
But first, please calm down.
I can't explain if you don't calm down...
Calm down...
Are you okay?
Have you calmed down?
Please explain.
Okay, I'll explain.
But if I talk in Japanese
they won't understand.
So I'll explain in Tagalog.
Let me speak in Tagalog,

I'm so sorry.
Please understand.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just stop crying.
I'm sorry.
Tanya, please forgive me!
- Tanya.
- It's okay, it's okay.
I'm sorry.
Let's say you might be perfect.
But I feel something is missing.
Maybe...
Maybe, I found in her
what I wanted.
What do you want?
I can't explain it!
Is this what you want?
If this is what you want,
then I will give it to you.
I just don't want
to lose you!
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry.

Yes I have, but...
As expected,
I was never satisfied.
Have you ever loved someone
even without sex?
Never.
Have you ever had
sex without love?
No, I haven't tried.
Have you ever loved
someone without sex?
Not yet.
Have you ever had sex
without love?
Of course.
No matter how...
I mean, if there's no love,
if you don't feel any love,
you won't know how
to please your partner
then you can
never enjoy sex together.
so after you have an orgasm,
