Needy Girl Overdose (2026) s01e04 Episode Script

You wouldn't understand, would you?
The suffering that comes
with simply living a normal life.
It's not like I'm stuck
in a particularly awful situation.
For sure, there are plenty
of unpleasant and troubling things.
Breakups, fights
- Any number of things
that leave me feeling miserable.
- Sorry! Have you been waiting long?
Nope! Not at all.
- But all of that is normal, too.
- So, where do you wanna go?
There's this café
I've been wanting to go to.
I'm ordinary.
The usual kinds of joy and sadness
anyone could imagine.
Success and failure.
Going to the beach with friends.
Bowling. Karaoke.
Going to the aquarium with my boyfriend.
A Christmas date at home.
I do think they're all
wonderful experiences.
To me, they're precious memories.
But
From the perspective of brilliant
first-magnitude stars shining in the sky,
they're events so tiny, so minuscule,
and they're no more than grains of sand.
To people like you, who captivate
tens of millions of fans,
refine your own unique worlds,
and keep climbing ever higher
in both body and mind,
we're not even looked down on.
We're invisible to you.
You're just not interested.
Stars like you don't have the time
to face each and every one of us,
to care about our happiness or our misery.
You're just shining
the way you naturally do.
You haven't done anything wrong.
If anything, you carry more effort, more
hardship, more pressure than anyone else.
Diamonds don't waste time complaining
about invisible pieces of trash, do they?
All they have to do is shine.
Other people don't matter.
You don't have time to look at them.
Even though we spend
all our time looking at you.
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.
My family, my friends, my boyfriend,
they all matter to me.
Of course I know that.
But it's not enough.
I want you to see me, no matter what.
Even for just a moment,
let me be close to that radiance.
Call my name.
Hey, look!
That talk event from the other day
is blowing up like crazy!
This is your friend, right, Kache?
That's amazing!
Next time, get me an autograph!
I don't know.
Michica might not like that.
Aww. Come on, work your magic!
Man, school's such a drag.
I seriously hate it.
This place may be
a suffocating little world,
but wherever you go,
people are the same.
Why can't people live in a cooler,
more decisive way?
As things stand now,
you're no different, Kache.
Aren't you just the same
as everyone else in class?
What, is she different?
Well, uh, I mean,
more rock, more punk.
Like, "I'm never gonna conform
to a screwed-up world like this!"
That kind of attitude.
What's gotten into you?
I've been listening
to that kind of music lately.
So Michica broke those windows?!
She's amazing, isn't she? So cool.
She wears these really gorgeous clothes,
and she's around here pretty often.
I see her sometimes.
Not that I'd ever talk to her, though.
It kind of feels like she lives
in a whole different world from us.
I mean, she's on TikTok and everything.
If you hang around here,
you'll probably spot her.
Kache, you and Michica
are pretty close, right?
Do you know where she is?
Introduce us!
I don't know.
Michica might not be into that.
What?
GOTH-LOLI SPOTTED!
Aren't you just the same
as everyone else in class?
You've been searching
that desperately for me?
Are you a stalker?
I mean, I was worried about you.
The truth is, you were just lonely,
weren't you?
That too!
That's part of it, but
I really was worried about you.
And it looks like
you hadn't gone home.
And besides
This area isn't exactly safe.
Michica.
This world is filthy no
matter where you go.
Michica!
Compared to the suffocating pressure
of school and family,
this place is still more freeing.
But
Maybe that's true, but
That aside, since when did you start
blowing up on TikTok?
It seems the masses of the mundane world
are into that sort of thing.
At least it means
I don't have to worry about getting by.
You're actually pretty happy
about it, aren't you?
Whoa! It really is her!
It's that goth-loli girl!
She's so skinny! Totally cute!
I just want to live however I please.
Wait, no way! That's her, isn't it?!
That is her, right?! Her face is so tiny!
She's actually here!
Could I please get your autograph?
So don't worry.
Even in a world like this,
I'll savor what little beauty remains,
as much as I can, and then
I'll pass on of my own accord.
Wait! What do you mean by that?!
Don't die!
I'm not going to die. I'm simply
going to awaken from this dream.
WAI
Kache.
When you get tired of that suffocating
little world, come to me.
I'll be here.
Once in a while
"Once in a while,
I might not mind listening to you."
That's what she told me.
Hey, this is bad. Is she gonna jump?
That's Michica, right?
Hey, Kache. Do you know anything?
You like high places, don't you?
A little.
Maybe I should push you off.
Cut it out.
Michica, did something good happen?
There's nothing in this world
that could possibly make me happy.
Oh, come off it.
You're a little more upbeat than usual.
What would you know?
I know.
Thanks for the ridiculously
expensive champagne.
"Kache" @kache Majoring in Nail Art at Shibuya Beauty
Academy Guest Appearance: Hourly + Sales Package Type 40%~70%
It's fine, it's fine! Really!
You'll spend some time with me
afterhours, right? Please?
The manager'll get mad at me.
Aww, come on! That's not what you said!
I've got first period lecture
tomorrow morning.
What? Then let's go on
a date on your day off.
How much did you make today?
Today was a little better than usual.
One of my customers
ordered champagne for me.
So I exchanged more of my precious youth
for cheap money again.
How
disgusting.
You fucking troll! Just die!
Ahh, man, this pickup group is dead.
Hey, wanna ego-search your name, Kache?
Huh?
EAST AREA THEMED CAFE CAST KACHE
Wow, damn, that's pretty impressive.
Next, let's take a look
at what people really think.
Kache totally
phones it in with customers,
- so it's kind of a mystery
why she's still pretty popular.
- Saw her in person and she looked painfully
normal lol. Filter catfishing fr.
Kache fandom's turning into hell
with how many serious simps it's got now.
People were already saying
she had a harsh personality
- back when she was still
doing guest shifts.
- Honestly, doesn't Kache
seem super full of herself lately?
See? Told you!
Kache's the only one in the shop
with a different vibe, and not in a good way.
If you look closely, she's actually kind of fat.
She just hides it with her big boobs.
- She overdoes the filters. In real life
her jaw looked thick and kind of chunky.
- She probably has some manwhore boyfriend
and all the money's going to him anyway.
- She seems like she gets around.
I don't want to see this.
But it's important to see blunt,
honest criticism too, right?
You really think a message board's
biased opinions count as fair criticism?
- You can tell she's got a guy just from how much
food is in the photos of her room.
- Man, I wanna bang Kache, too.
- I wonder how long she stayed a virgin.
- She looks like she was already
doing it back in middle school.
Why don't you ego-search
that band name of yours instead?
Might be nice for once
to actually face your own fans.
Who cares? Those idiots
would never get my music anyway.
Seriously, stop!
I'm tired right now.
Thank you so much
for inviting me to the talk event!
Everyone was so full of life,
and I really had a great time!
Really? What part, exactly?
Uh
Meaningless words, spoken only
to keep from rocking the boat.
Say what you really think
in your own words.
MICHICA GOKUBARA
Ah, no, um
I'm not really good at, like,
putting things into words, so,
I just thought it was amazing.
I really do think it
was seriously amazing.
No, really, it really was amazing.
So basically, she means it was totally legit
and insanely awesome!
NECHIKA-SAMA
Something like that.
In the modern world,
"read the room"
and "live as an individual"
exist side by side in
blatant contradiction!
DEADLY POISON DENPA GIRL
PURPLE LOLLIPOP
What a pain.
Here comes the annoying one.
The purple hag makes her entrance.
Shut up! You losers
need to read the room more!
Anyway, where was I?
They treasure the cogs that
conveniently keep society turning,
and yet they demand that people value
the "individual" like it's perfectly reasonable.
With the rise of the internet, conformist
peer pressure has only gotten stronger.
People are envious of those who stand out,
so they dox them, bash them,
and hammer down the nail that sticks up!
Because if everyone stays flat,
if everyone is on their level, they feel safe.
And before they know it, the nails
that got hammered down and lost
start aligning themselves with the majority
opinion and assimilate into the masses.
There is clearly something wrong
with Lollipop's head.
A-Anyway!
If you keep chickening out, saying bland,
inoffensive things, and killing off your true self,
you'll end up going through life
without ever finding your individuality!
That is completely, utterly un-punk!
She's a weird, toxic, "denpa" girl,
but I don't hate the way she thinks.
Everyone sure is obsessed
with rock and punk.
All of you Karamazov is strong.
Even when people comment
on the talk event
and nitpick everything
from a KAngel-biased perspective,
because she was already
more popular to begin with,
you don't let any of it get to you.
That's really cool.
You don't have to look at things
you don't want to see!
She may not look it, but she actually
takes things pretty hard.
She used to be a totally normal
social media addict, after all.
How long ago was that?!
Until pretty recently.
Still, our leader's gotten strong enough
to shut out the noise.
No rabble's words can
ever dim our brilliance.
Diamonds do not break.
The babbling of crawling vermin doesn't
even enter my field of vision to begin with.
And then there's this type, too.
You're not punk enough.
Live cool.
Hi, cuties!
It's your Internet Angel, KAngel!
Today, I think I'll read some viewer mail.
Okay, let's go with this one.
Individuality, huh?
When it comes to individuality,
I think it means,
"having your own sensibilities and way of thinking
instead of going along with other people."
It's hard, right? Hard to really picture
what that means.
Let's see
For example, do you know
the purpose of art?
Do you all hate art museums?
Maybe you and I met in an art museum.
Even when you look at
an amazing work of art,
a lot of the time
you still don't really get it.
But by exposing yourself
to all kinds of things like that,
you start discovering what you like,
what you dislike,
and what grabs your attention.
I think the meaning of engaging with fine art
is to engrave those feelings inside yourself.
That's why art, like music,
paintings, and sculptures,
gives you an "individual self" by making
you intuit what you feel,
and the unique sensibilities that set you
apart from everyone else.
So you don't have to force yourself
to like KAngel's streams.
Just treasure whatever it is you felt
when you saw me, exactly as it was.
That's what individuality is!
- Ah, but when people look at KAngel,
- LOL LMAO WUT? HUH?
- the first thing they always think
is just "Wow, she's hot," huh?
Hey! I keep tabs
on the hate comments, you know.
I'll ban you, damn it!
All right, everyone,
tonight's fun stream starts now!
Kache! What happened to your hair?!
It's so flashy!
It suits you, but wow,
that was a bold move.
I've made up my mind.
What?!
Does that mean you're not coming in
as a guest anymore?!
Preparation complete!
Preparation complete!
Is everything okay?
Preparation complete!
Preparation complete!
I'm sorry.
But I've already made my decision.
But I bought you champagne!
Did she get a boyfriend?
Bitch, you look like shit.
Uh, maybe don't have that conversation
in front of customers? Zero professionalism.
One of you wrote shit about me
on that message board, didn't you?
Which one of you was it?
Whatever.
I'm not there anyway.
See you. I still have one more thing
to do, so I'm heading out.
Hey, apparently your friend Michica
used to do compensated dating back in the day.
Whoa, look at this!
Someone even made
a whole thread about it.
Acting all prim and proper,
but she's a total slut after all, huh?
You gonna hook me up already?
You're seriously an idiot.
What the hell is up with your hair?
Looks good.
You need more dick or something?
I searched your band's name, you know.
No one's writing about you anymore.
No fans. No haters. Total ghost town.
Right now, you're nowhere.
What's your problem, Kache?
You on your period or something?
If that's it, just tell me.
I'll go buy you pads or whatever.
Then we can cuddle and crash together.
You like that, so
Everyone gets lost sometimes,
and it's important to stop and rest.
Ow! Shit!
Hey, what the hell are you
But you
You took a little too long.
Time's up!
Bang!
Get out.
Get out.
Don't get all high and mighty with me!
You think you're better than me?!
That's right! You're beneath me!
You forgot something!
I'm gonna make the greatest music ever
and make you regret this!
You actually picked it up, huh?
That sounds good.
Right? Just wait. I'm gonna
take over the world someday.
Kache, you really do love
that subculture stuff.
It's just mimicking it, though.
I don't know the first thing
about actually performing.
It's nowhere close to real rock.
Hey, you're heavy!
He did have his cool moments, though.
I can't see the stars.
Well then
PLAY THE NEXT VIDEO IN 3
PLAY THE NEXT VIDEO IN 2
PLAY THE NEXT VIDEO IN 1
The band is back in action!
So anyway, after this
long period of creative input
Creative input?
More like you were just mooching off
some girl at her place, weren't you?
Idiot! As if! No, I've been on my own
the whole time, totally alone!
So anyway!
Listen to the music we made
after getting our heads straight!
I know you'll be satisfied.
Thanks for the support!
- We'll be waiting!
- P! Look at this!
These people seriously piss me off!
- I can't stand the way she talks. Just shut up and watch, this is the current era's Goddess. Hurry up
and say something funny, this is getting boring. She's so good at selling herself it makes me sick.
- I am abso-fucking-lutely
paying more taxes than they are!
Who the hell do they think they are?
Drop dead!
Monkeys!
Log off and hang yourselves!
Die! Die! Die!
AHHH!
