Love Strikes! (2011) s01e01 Episode Script

Thanks to Potion2 and babyjupiter193's.
Hervibore? You exist solely
for us carnivores to eat!
"Wolves live,
rabbits die!"
Your Bento's ready!
-Ah, yes.
Rabbits are seen as the
no.1 herbivore, but
really they have the highest sex drive and
are supposed to be in heat all year long.
The males get excited towards any females
and they hump at top speed, like no other.
Lookin' so sweet but really,
they're one hell of an animal.
It is said that the Playboy logo doesn't
symbolize the girls in bunny costumes,
instead, Hugh Hefner was representing
the voracious sexual appetite of rabbits.
but for us, there are other factors
that come into play in choosing a mate
and even if we're in heat, no one can tell
but, there are men in this world
who has an uncanny ability to
tell when girls are in heat, and act upon it
and those few men wind up doing most of the girls
but not all of them are undeniably hot, and
what was I saying?
Anyways, unattractive men are
born to stay that way forever.
that's why I grew up
staying a virgin,
don't have a proper job,
and I am about to turn thirty,
without a dream left.
What's this?
What's this?
Hello? -Long time no see!
You remember me?
Yeah yes, sure I do!
Ah I'm happy
-Hello?
Yuki? It's been a while, how are you?
Excuse me, who are you?
It's me, me!
-Hang on, I call you back.
Hello? -Don't you remember me?
-Ah, hello there!
"What's this?"
blah blah blah
This must be
The thing that happens to everyone,
once in their lives
This is the legendary
MOTEKI?
Episode1: The Lamest way to be Rejected
So here it is
my Moteki! (Abbrevation for
Moteru Jiki=Time when you're popular)
No, no, wait. This may not
be the case.
Just the few girls I know happened to
call me at the same time, that's all.
when you go on a date, how
do you usually dress?
When I'm on a date,
I dare wearing a pink
shirt or jacket.
Don't talk stupid shit you trap.
In order to make her heart skip a beat,
raise her interest I believe
that's what it takes.
And do you reckon that the
woman as well should wear pink?
Yeah, pink is nice or a light blue
or something yellowish
Aki Doi
Itsuka Nakashiba
Natsuki Komiyama
For instance you receive a random
email from a girl
that you haven't met in
a long time, right?
At first glance it appears to be
meaningless gibberish but
there is still some hidden message
for you in there, I believe.
Woot? A hidden message?
What message would I need
from them
who afflicted me with
this love trauma?
Like this woman, Aki Doi.
"1 year ago"
She was in the same department
at the company I was temping.
But this was the first time
I spoke to her.
Plus she wasn't my
type from the start.
Er, is that a Soul Set shirt?
Ah, this? Yeah
You you like them?
Ah yeah, yeah I do.
Oh really? I really love them too!
Oh wow.
Have you seen them live?
Well, occasionally.
but mostly at festivals or
Eh! So what about Taico Club
this weekend, are you going?
Ah yeah I'm going
Eh! So what about Taico Club
this weekend, are you going?
Ah yeah I'm going
Ah, really? I'm going too!
Who are you going with?
Well that is by myself.
Oh for real? Then let's meet
at the place!
I'm there with my friends
every year!
Ah.. eh.. hmm
Fuck it. Everyone acting all happy.
As if they cared about the
good music at all.
Why would you bring your shit
friends to a festival from the start?
Especially as a couple!
Die! Hurry up and die!
Fujimoto-kun!
Err Aki?
Why are you staring like that?
Well, you look completely
different from work.
That's not true. Shall we go?
I'll introduce you to my friends.
Shall we go?
Wait she's pretty!
Her friends were super sincere
not looking down on a guy like me
and took me into their group.
And this Yakisoba, so good!
This beer, so good!
Food at a festival with friends
was so good!
And I'm at a festival with a girl
plus Aki's hot wait!
What is this, what's going on?
Ain't this great?
Waah, this is the best!
So cold but feels so good!
Yesss! This is GREAT!
What?
Nothing just Fujimoto, you're
really funny and
I didn't think you were like this.
Sorry
Was going a bit crazy there
Not at all.
See, even though we've so far
only met at work
now that we're here at a place
like this together
feels a bit weird, doesn't it?
Although I've always thought
people that used phrases
from a cheesy stand up comedy
routine should die
HO- HORETEMAU YAROUU!
"Looks like I'm falling for her"
Really? But there's still
some time, isn't there?
Yeah, a little
-Ah, hang in there!
Because you're not looking down
you're tripping, man. Look out!
Sorry, sorry.
What is this?
Maybe this is
Maybe I can
Could it work?
Shit, have I gone too far?
What the hell's going on?
She doesn't say a word, but
but her fingers
are entangled in mine.
Hot! This is hot!
The most erotic thing in
my life so far.
Ah cool down!
Cool down, my son!
Me, who's never been
popular with the girls
never would have thought I'd be
in a situation as erotic as this
I wish I can tell my old self
Shiori-Chan
I can't wait till graduation!
My old self, huh
Shiori-chan won't confess
her love to you in the video game!
Who are you?
I am
the 29 year old you, from the
21st century.
My future self?
Then, do I have a girlfriend?
Am I getting some?
Well you better not know about that.
What does that mean?
Listen well!
What does that mean?
For a while from now on
For a REALLY long while
You won't be popular and
won't have a girlfriend but
there's a real erotic moment
waiting for you
that makes this video game pale in comparison.
So don't give up when you're not popular.
Really?
So will I be getting some,
standing up and stuff?
Well.. that is again
well still not happening I think but
in any case you'll be alright!
That's what I came to tell you.
And that's it
Wait! Tell me more!
When is my first time?
With who?
What's this about, Aki?
Say something!
Ah, I love this song!
Let's go up to the front!
Ah sorry.
I
Got ya. It's fine.
But why won't she let go off me?
She was the one that invited me
to this festival after all.
Could it be?
Was she in love with me from
way back th
Shall we go up front?
Sorry. Give me a minute.
Hey
We've been looking for you!
Sorry, I just arrived.
Where's Aki?
Ah she's over there.
Eh Masanori's here after all?
And they've made up again.
Those fools.
It's always the same with these two.
The two how are they?
Ah, you don't know?
He's her boyfriend.
They just had a fight in the car.
Masanori pushed her away
saying he wasn't coming anymore.
What a fuzz.
And now he's here again.
Well it's alright now ain't it?
They made up again, too.
Is that the problem?
You know what, in the car Masanori
said something about a sex friend
I S-E-E
I can hear them. Even with the music
this loud, I can hear them talking.
Yeah, he's got it wrong.
That guy?
Yeah, he got into me, just by holding hands
Ha, seriously?
It's not like I'm that desperate.
whicker whicker whicker whicker
No way. If they come, I'll
definitely be introduced to him.
No way.
That's not happening.
I don't want to meet that guy.
The Lamest way to be Rejected
The Lamest way to be Rejected
I won't see you any more
I find out what's important
for the first time after we break-up
I just wanted to hear someone's voice
I called spontaneously
The loneliness I feel inside
will be the same after I marry
I want you, I still want you
I want to cry over you
If I had never met you
I would have chosen to live differently
I want you, I still want you
I want to cry over you
Are you happy, are you hurt?
Are you living the dream from back then
Ahh those painful memories.
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die
Afterwards, my temp ended
without speaking to Aki
That's was last year.
My wound's not healed yet.
"as I said before: Whenever I receive
an email from someone
no matter how boring it is,
you should definitely reply.
That's an etiquette for a man.
But you shouldn't show off and
talk highly of yourself
From Aki Doi
Fujimoto-kun, it's been a while!
Sorry it's sudden, but
are you free tomorrow?
There's a cool DJ event tomorrow at a club
in Sangenjaya. Shall we go together?
"It's rare to see such chivalry these days."
Woman wouldn't send messages
to a guy she's not remotely
interested in, right?"
Thus far I haven't empathized towards
anything this guy said but
Hey. Have work tomorrow until around eight.
Not 100% sure, so could be a bit late.
If that's fine with you
If after you've sent the message
you immediately receive an answer
you can take that as a sign that
she is somewhat interested with you.
Yay!
Ok so let's meet in front of McDonald's
at 8:30 then!
Got it.
What to say for a greeting?
Hey, long time no see!
That's not like me.
Yo, what's up?
Seems wrong.
Gotta try to be as natural as possible
as if I didn't care about that time
Ah. Where's the McDonald's?
The other side of the street.
Fujimoto-Kun!
Long time no see!
How have you been?
You haven't changed at all!
Hey hey.
I was waiting this side because of the rain.
Ah well, don't worry about it.
You're acting a bit weird, Fujimoto-Kun.
Are you alright?
Yeah well, everything's alright.
Hadn't seen her in a while, but
she's beautiful!
And sexy on top of that!
At first I was invited by a friend.
She couldn't make it, and
Today is Shibuya-Kei Night
Oh really.
So, what do you do for a living
right now?
Ah well as always
temp jobs
as a system supervisor.
I see.
So basically the same as before?
Yeah well
work is a bit different right now
so I'm not quite used to it yet
What about you?
Receptionist.
Well, not really receptionist because the
company is not that big.
So I'm also asked to do other things.
In fact, I do those things more than
working at the reception desk.
So why you say "Receptionist" at first?
Because you want to see yourself
as a receptionist?
"I am the pretty face of the company"
is what you really want to say, don't you?
Still not a big deal aren't you, Aki?
So what about your
private life?
Well, I was wondering if you
have a girlfriend, maybe?
Why you ask?
Why? Is it forbidden to ask?
This woman. Trying to embarrass
me, again?
What about you?
What about your private life?
Are you still seeing that guy from before?
Don't ask me that
We broke up.
The guy from the festival, right?
After that, when you disappeared
we had a big fight, and broke up.
But even before the festival
things weren't going so well so I had
already thought about breaking up, anyway.
Fujimoto-Kun,
why did you leave that day?
I couldn't answer.
Why did I
that day, when I was selfish, hypocrite
and stubborn
deluting in my fantasy world
acting all sovereign and not thinking
about the feelings of the others.
My feelings
Still Aki never forgot about me, texted me.
That means
Even if it's just a bit
She's interested in me!
She wants to get to know me!
So so I should with
a stronger will
Let's go!
To the front!
What's wrong with you?
Fujimoto-Kun
Are you alright?
I'm fine, fine.
Don't worry about it, i'm alright!
Fujimoto-Kun, you're really alright like this?
It's ok, it's just my head
Sorry
Aki, I'm really sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Should I come with you?
No no, it's ok, I'm off tomorrow anyways.
Invite me again.
Yes.
So good night!
Alright let's go.
After all a guy like me shouldn't
try taking things into his own hands.
But from now on slowly
if I'd slowly
fall in love with you
We could date.
That guy, how passive can he be?
"Invite me again"
YOU're supposed to invite ME
again you ass!
I even wore my lucky underwear for you!
Is he stupid, that guy?
Why should I initiate everything?
At the festival, my ex-boyfriend thought I
was cheating with you, and we broke up.
It's all his fault.
I'll make you say "I love you" for sure.
Hello.
Hello, Fuji-Kun?
Long time no see.
Itsuka-Chan?
Yeah yeah, I'm doing great.
Will I be able to change something
during this Moteki?
