Love Strikes! (2011) s01e12 Episode Script

The summer's over, guys!
Yukio-kun,
long time no see!
I didn't want to run into her this way.
I never wanted to see her again.
The love of my life, Natsuki komiyama.
It's such a nice weather.
I wanted to swim with you guys.
I should've brought my bathing suit.
Hey,
What are you going to do?
Bring her to your folks'
My relatives are here to discuss my divorce,
and it's a big mess right now.
I don't give a damn!!
What are you guys mumbling about?
Eh, this is my friend, komiyama-san.
She came from Tokyo.
Nice to meet you, I'm Natsuki Komiyama.
Welcome.
Is the bath ready?
Uh, yes. I'll draw a bath right now.
Wow, you grew up in this house, Yukio-kun.
Um, you know
I still haven't forgiven you
for a lot of things.
Ah, I know.
Eh?
I'll go back to Tokyo today,
so don't sweat it.
Ok?
How did it come to this?!
I don't get it!!!
I envy you, Yukio-kun!
Your parents are awesome!
I'm sorry, was I too loud?
Not at all!
We haven't had fun like this in a while.
Yukio is so quiet, he doesn't speak at all.
No, Yukio-kun! You should communicate
with your parents more often.
You're not working right now!
You're so lucky that you have a place
to go home to.
I have no parents.
My sister got married
and I have no place to go,
so I'm really enjoying this.
I envy you, Yukio-kun.
Then, why don't you stay the night,
Natsuki-chan.
Huh?!
You should!
No, no no
May I?!
Then, bring out "Hitori Musume!"
(a single daughter)
Oh, yes!
No, no no
What is "Hitori Musume?"
It's a famous, local sake.
I want some!
Dad, Natsuki shouldn't
Natsuki-chan,
will you be our only daughter?
I will, I will!
Yesss!
Hey! Just pour it into a tumbler!
This woman. She's a real bitch!
A little devil!!!
No, she is THE devil.
SHE'S THE DEVIL!!!
What's going on?!
Why is Natsuki komiyama sleeping
in my parents' house,
none the less in the next room?
What's she doing here?!
I have no clue what she's thinking!
I mean, didn't she do it with
Shimada last night?!
Why can't she just leave me alone?!
She tells me that she can't see me as a man,
but she drags me into a hotel
She tells me she's never been in love,
and tells me that she fell in love
and she had an affair with my best friend
Which one is the real Natsuki?!
We finally finished our pages!
We're out with the editors for
a dinner meeting.
What about you, Yukio? How's your back?
I want to see you! -Aki
That's right, I have Aki now.
I shouldn't let someone else toy with me.
I'm so into you, Doi-san.
I just want to return to Tokyo
and make out with you!
Thanks for waiting.
Ah, thank you.
Is everything okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Then shall we?
Ok.
Excuse me
Yoshino-san, do you like
the Eastern Youth?
Oh, this.
Yes, I've liked them for a long time.
Really?! I like them too.
Do you ever go see them live?
Yes, I do.
They're playing this week, in Ohya.
Is that so?
It's been a while.
I want to go see them.
I haven't seen them since Fuji Rock.
Fuji Rock? From 2008?
I was there too!
Really? Maybe we have met already!
Yes, possibly!
For real?!
For real?!
Yukio-kun, it's morning! Get up!
Let's go to the market with mom!
Get up, Yukio
AAAAAAAUGH!!!!
You've got it wrong!!
It's so cheap!
My mom and Natsuki are shopping at the
market in my home town.　
This is too surreal.
I bet my mom always dreamed of
me getting married one day,
and do stuff like this with my future wife.
Yukio-kun, isn't this place fun?!
Ah, you think so?
Eh? It's not fun?
Yukio hasn't been here since grade school.
He used to get excited when he was little.
Natsuki-chan, there is a place
that serves a big bowl of uni-don.
Shall we go?!
I love uni!
I've heard of the place from Yukio-kun.
Really?
She remembered.
The first time we drank together.
There is a market in my home town
that serves freshly caught uni in a big bowl.
Really?
It's so good, you should come try it!
You can even stay at my parents.
Really?!
Please, you should definitely come!
I thought she only went on
our date on a whim,
and had forgotten about everything.
What the heck, the things I wanted
to do with Natsuki back then
This is so good, Yukio-kun.
Take my picture!
Ah, ok.
came true.
A lot of things happened,
but I'm finally living my dream.
I get it! I was only seeing Natsuki
through the eyes of
my pathetic self, from way back when.
I felt sorry for myself, so I couldn't
forgive her for a long time
and I thought I was a loser who hasn't
accomplished anything
but somehow, I've matured enough to
accept her for who she is.
I can do things
that I couldn't back then.
So cute.
What am I doing?
I can't easily forgive her!
Get with it, Yukio Fujimoto, 30 years old!
This won't last forever.
Besides, weren't you supposed to
return to your girlfriend in Tokyo?!
Oh, crap, Aki!
She hasn't called me or texted me
ever since Natsuki came to this house.
Maybe she figured it out!
Hello?
Ah, Fuji! It's me.
Oh, Shimada, it's just you.
What do you mean, just?
You've been neglecting us.
So, what happened to Natsuki?
She's still here.
Butit's been 5 days!
I can't just tell her toget out.
Did you fall for her again?
No no no, that's not it!!
How should I say this.
It's like I'm holding
a funeral for my old self.
I see.
Yeah.
Hey, Fujii
huh?
I'm glad that
I got to tell you the things
I've been hiding from you.
I did terrible things,
but Fujiyou told me to live proud.
and I finally came to my senses.
I'll talk things over with Yurie, once more.
I'm going to
take responsibility for my action.
I'll see you later.
Yeah.
Oh, and another thing, Fuji
Itsuka-chan texted me yesterday.
Ah, Itsuka-chan?
She wants to talk to you
so she wants you to call her
when you have time.
She's on a roll.
They are only minor jobs, but she's
become an independent photographer.
I really respect her.
I see.
I'll see you in Tokyo.
OK.
Wow. I have a lot of respect for her.
I haven't seen her in a while
but while I've been dating Aki,
threw out my back, returned home, and
have been toyed by Natsuki,
Itsuka's been following her dream.
Hello?
Ah, hello?
Fuji-kun, long time no see.
Uh, yes. Long time no see.
How's your back?
Uh, yes I'm feeling much better.
I see. I'm glad.
Shimada called me.
Oh I see.
I heard that you've been
working really hard.
Oh, kind of
but I still have a long way to go.
You're amazing.
You're following your passion.
But I think I owe it to you.
What?
I mean, when we were at Omu-sensei's.
Yeah.
I was shocked and heartbroken
at the time
To be honest, I was starting
to like you.
I see.
but I think I got over a lot of things.
After witnessing what I saw,
I just didn't care anymore.
I felt, kind of like,
"Work is all I have."
I just decided to forget about love,
and be passionate towards my work.
I'm so simple,
it's kind of embarrassing.
No, that's not true. I know how you feel.
So, I appreciate you.
I'll be okay.
I'll be fine for a while.
So Fuji-kun,
Thank you.
Uh, no no no,
You shouldn't.
I think I can return next summer,
so let's get together with everyone.
Itsuka-chan told me she owes
everything to me,
but of course that's not true.
I wasn't thinking about her feelings,
I was just being selfish.
What am I doing here?
I mean, What should I be doing, right now?
I can't go on like this.
Where are you going, Yukio-kun?
Yukio-kun!
Hey,
Where are you going, Yukio-kun?
I haven't decided.
Then, why don't we go this way?
Why?
Because I've never been.
Let's go.
What's wrong with her?
She's always like this.
Wow, what's this?
It's a school!
It's my high school.
Let's go in.
It's shut down.
Then let's break in!
What?
Butsomeone might be in there.
Hey Natsuki-chan, don't!
Who cares!
I never went to high school
so I want to see the inside! Let's go!
Don't Natsuki-chan, come back!
Wait, Natsuki-chan. Really, don't!
Whenever we're together,
Natsuki says unexpected things.
When I'm with her, we take
unexpected turns in the road.
She turns my ordinary life upside down.
Work, life and money
I stop caring about stuff like that.
She makes me realize there are other
paths I could take.
It's her special allure that neither Aki
nor Itska-chan have.
-Was it nostalgic?
Maybe that's what I like about her.
Not really.
Is that so?
I don't have many memories
about this place.
You didn't like anyone back then?
Eh?
Fujimoto-kun you have no eye for women,
so you'll have a hard time in the future.
uh, nothing.
I see.
I fell for Natsuki and
got rejected many times
and she still is the love of my life.
She lies, she likes more than one
guy at a time,
and she sleeps with men she doesn't even like.
Why? Why?! Natsuki!!! That's not true!
That's not who you are!
or so I thought.
But I was wrong.
I finally realized.
What, what's wrong, Yukio-kun?
Natsuki-chan,
Was I just another
path that you strayed into?
Yes.
You see,
I like my life to turn unexpected.
I can't change at all.
With this love,
with this woman.
Yukio-kun.
I'm going home.
Let's part ways right here.
Let go of my hand, Yukio-kun.
Ok.
See you.
Natsuki-chan!
Natsuki-chan, enjoy.
Enjoy your life!
That's what I like about you!
Thank you!
Take care of yourself too, Yukio!
Yukio-kun!
I've always wanted to tell you
Iabout you!
What? I can't hear you!
Natsuki-chan! What did you say?
What's this?!! Wasn't that the
most important moment?!!
Why is it ALWAYS like this?!!
Aki Doi
What? What's with this timing?
Hello?
Hello, Fujimoto-kun, can you talk right now?
Yes.
You see,
Um, I thought about a lot of things,
but I think we should break up.
-Eh?
What is this?
Did she find out about Natsuki?!
That's impossible!!!
It's not that I don't like you,
or it's not like I have someone new,
but
but with the way things are, I can't
do anything for you
and that's killing me inside.
I know I'm being selfish
WATCHOUT!!!!
NOOOOO!!!!
What is this?!! What's with this plot twist?!
EEEEHHHH?!! My moteki's over?
Can it end as simple as this?!
OF COURSE NOT!!
My story's not over yet!
Mom!
where's the closest Soft Bank
(cellphone) store?
Mom collappsed. We're at the
Kurio hospital. -Father
She wanted show Natsuki
your baby pictures
She was trying to bring down a
box full of things.
I see.
Yes.
What happened to Natsuki-chan?
Is she home?
No, she left.
Eh?
She said to take care.
I see.
Is that so.
Hey.
Huh?
I
I'm thinking about finding
work over here.
I'm already 30.
I feel like it's too late to go back
to Tokyo and start over again.
I think I should try to live
and find work over here.
That's enough.
I'm not expecting anything
from you anymore.
Your mother and I
don't care to watch you live your
life reluctantly.
Do what you like.
It's your life.
If you want to do something, do it.
If you don't, find it.
The only thing I've learned
from my parents
is the kindness to not be
possessive.
Maybe that's why I've never been
deeply involved with anyone.
If there's a God in this world
maybe I was tested.
"I shall grant thee moteki."
"Will thou deeply connect
with someone during your time?"
Sorry God, I couldn't connect
with anyone.
Ok, my moteki's over.
I mean, I don't believe in God
in the first place.
If there is one, maybe He's
insignificant as my ipod shuffle.
Your sigh
took over the season
So I cast down my gaze inadvertently
A small shadow
Where are you going
Huh? Fujimoto.
Hey! Fujimoto! Fujimoto!
Oh, Hayashida!
What the hell are you doing?
I finally got it!
Huh?
I mean, I don't get it at all!!!
What? Did you finally go insane?
II dont' need moteki anymore!
And, where are you going?
I don't know!!!
You, dumb-ass!!
I always thought that I wasn't worthy
to be loved by anyone.
But just like Aki, Itsuka-chan and Natuski
is in my heart
I'm in their hearts too,
whether if it's good or bad.
I don't get why Moteki came to a guy like me,
but I somehow came to live in their hearts.
So I have to answer to it.
Even if they don't get it at all.
I want to tell them how I feel.
To Aki,
to Itsuka-chan,
to Natsuki.
The summer clouds and winter sunrise
appear and fade away
I run, run and run through!
I run past the moonlight and the sun!
I don't need moteki anymore.
That's right, next time
I'll be somebody else's MOTEKI!!!!!
Continue to someone else's MOTEKI!!
