WARNER BROS. PICTURES JAPAN presents
An ALTAMIRA PICTURES production
A SHINOBU YAGUCHI Film
Tonight, beneath starry skies
If I can have one wish come true
Tonight, the treasures in my heart
Please deliver to my true love
who's far away
Across the dark, a rainbow
Please come my way
So don't close your window
Until the morning comes
Tonight!
Tonight with Martyn Ueda
Our much-loved hypnotist,
Martyn-san
is now deploying his powers
You are now a famous conductor
When you hear music,
you'll just have to start conducting
He thinks our panel is an orchestra
And you...
You, too...
Conducting through hypnosis,
can it be done?
May I get by?
I'm sorry
This way
Good morning
Thanks
There's that sweet face Murakami makes
when he's grateful
It's soooo cute
Doesn't it feel calculated?
Like he's making
a studied effort
- You think?
- Definitely
I'm so full
Me, too. The portions are huge
Murakami's new team
is up on the 42nd floor, right?
The girl he chose to join them, quit
The one who took all that vacation?
It was terrible timing, a real nuisance
Blew her one shot at a great job
What a waste!
So Murakami's looking
to get someone else on board
One of us, perhaps?
He surrounds himself
with favorites
- Maybe try on the glass slipper?
- Shut up!
"Fortune Land"?
What's that?
It's the boss. Run
Fortune Land
What's this?
Miss Suzuki, do you have a minute?
Can you put together the materials
for our big presentation?
You mean right away?
I want us all working from
the same documents. Can you help?
I'll do it
It's a lot of work. Can it be ready
by Monday?
This coming Monday?
I know it's a tough task
No, I'll make it work
I really appreciate it.
Can I get your number?
Sure. I'll email you later
I'm counting on you. Thanks
Great...
Mom & Dad
What do you want?
Hello, Shizuka?
You didn't come see us for ages.
How is everything?
It's not far, drop by sometime
Look, no news is good news.
Why are you calling?
Do I have to have a reason?
Listen, do you think
you raised yourself?
We footed your bills
all the way up to graduation
Hello? Are you there?
Hello, Sis?
I've got a reunion party near you
tomorrow
Can you look after my daughter
for the day?
What about Mom and Dad?
Didn't she tell you?
That was the reason she called
They're just going on a trip
Heck, I really don't want to
I heard that. What's wrong with you?
You always did everything you wanted,
the singing, the ballet, all thanks to us
I mean, in the end it worked out.
You studied hard and got a good job but...
Next, Shizuka Suzuki
Votes for the Lead Role
Shizuka Suzuki
Are we all agreed that Shizuka
plays the lead role?
Next is the 5th grade musical,
"The Kids' Island"
Shizuka, here's the mic
Ouch...
Yes?
Hi. Open up
Hey there, Winner
Don't call me that
I'm so jealous
Me, the sad, single mother divorcee...
Things are so much smarter
in the big city...
Really?
Can I borrow this bag
and those shoes in the hall?
You're a size 8, right?
I might be out pretty late
Might get lucky
Some chance...
Be good, Nana
- Wait a sec
- I gotta go!
I've got work to do...
Mr. Murakami, here's the file
Done at last!
Want to go see a movie?
"Fortune Land" Free Admission
We'll get in for free
You like musicals?
I have to be in one at school
Is that still going on?
I was forced to do it, too
So...you went to my school?
But I never really enjoyed
that kind of stuff
Me, neither
Right? Don't you think musicals are odd?
People singing
right out of the blue
It's crazy. Like they're
mentally unstable
Musicals are for idiots
Fortune Land
Let's go
Don't run off, you'll get lost
Tarot Reader: 1,200 yen
Heck, there's nothing free about this place
Hypnosis is neither magic
nor the supernatural...
"Martyn Ueda's House of Hypnosis"
"Only 500 yen"
What a scam
You're going in?
I'll pay
Haven't I seen that face before?
I married into an onion farmer's family
But I hate onions
Okay, I understand
When I count to three...
That onion's going to be
a sweet, sweet apple
One of your favorite foods
You're right!
It's so deliciously sweet!
It's really good!
My mother-in-law
won't harass me any more
That's amazing
Thank you so much
500 yen's too little.
Please accept this
There's no need.
5,000 is way too much
- Please, I insist
- You really shouldn't
Thank you so, so much
The pleasure was mine
Sorry for the wait. Come this way
Take a seat, please
I hand these out
to my first-timers
It's called The Ring of Truth
It reveals your aura. Let me help...
There you go
- It's fantastic
- Glad you like it
Normally 2,000 yen each
But today I'll make it
3,000 for 2, okay?
Another cost?
You're at the doorway
to the world of hypnosis
See how the ring won't come off?
You're right
Is that glue?
So, what kind of hypnosis
interests you?
There are several kinds
To return to infancy
there's "regressive hypnosis"
To like any kind of food
we have "palate mastery"
- To change the way you are...
- That one!
Which?
I want to be good in the musical
I'm so behind in rehearsal
and I want to prove myself.
I totally understand
In that case...
Take a look at this
Okay, focus right in the center, please
You've arrived in the world
of hypnosis
From tomorrow you'll feel
like you're the star of the musical
Why not today?
When you hear music,
you can't help but to sing and to dance
Sorry...
Message: Ryosuke Murakami
It's Murakami. Thank you
for a great job on those documents
I'd like it if you could attend
tomorrow's meeting, too
Meet me in the conference room
at 10am
This ring's useless
No throwing. What's wrong with it?
100 yen store junk?
It's nothing
You're quite something...
What do you mean?
Joining such a prestigious company
I worked my butt off
You're not overdoing it?
Not at all
We'll miss our bus
Bye, then. It's not far
so come home sometimes
- See you
- Bye
It's Murakami. Thank you
for a great job on those documents
I'd like it if you could attend
tomorrow's meeting, too
Meet me in the conference room
at 10am
From tomorrow you'll feel
like you're a musical star
When you hear music, you can't help
but to sing and to dance
Miss, are you getting on?
Yes...
Hold tight
Good morning
- What's going on?
- Don't tell me...
The first page of our website
tells the world who we are
Design-wise I wanted to keep
things simple...
Can you show us?
Sure...
As you can see here
we're talking about
a drastic design re-think
And the video
will have this music track...
Beautiful skyscrapers,
Each and every one mine
Allow yourself to dream
Don't break the magic spell
Hear the sweet melody
Feel love's rhythm
Filling us up
And all around
We find our happy valley
Our sunny, happy valley
Where precious days await
There's always a happy valley
The past is microscopic,
the future, telescopic
We'll always find love
Because this is where we belong
Find us in the happy valley
The sunny, happy valley
Where precious days await
Find us in the happy valley
It's a timeless world, that'll never change
Around the world, we all find our own
There's always a happy valley
Get out of my way
Take me somewhere quiet
Close the door!
Somewhere quiet?
It's too noisy here,
just drive, please
Hypnosis...
...reversal
Mental Health Clinic
I see...
It looks like "conditional
post-hypnotic suggestion"
Post-hypnotic suggestion?
It's written like this
Most people think of hypnotism
as part of a magic show
But in the West, hypnotherapy
is a legitimate form of treatment
Is that right?
The placebo effect
is a real medical phenomenon
If a respected doctor prescribes something
said to be 100% effective
even a candy pill
can still produce a cure
The power of implicit suggestion
is thus much greater than we think
Don't worry,
nobody's cast a spell on you
Speaking as a specialist,
this is no big deal
Let's get you checked out right away
This might sting...
You feel okay?
I don't see anything particularly abnormal
But I've never had a patient
in such a deep hypnotic state
I'd ask the original practitioner
to reverse it
The original practitioner?
People eager to stop smoking
are susceptible to hypnosis
but not if they don't want to quit
Maybe you wanted to sing and dance
all along?
Next is the 5th grade musical,
"The Kids' Island"
Shizuka, here's the mic
You still have next year
Exactly
I'm never doing that again!
Idiots...are they really hypnotized?
Don't be stupid
They're just pretending
so they can be on TV
They're just paid performers
You got that right
Attention all customers
Fortune Land will close in 30 minutes
We know you're there.
Let us in, please!
Or we'll let ourselves in
Another one? How much
debt is he in?
Which company are you?
I'm from Cash Plan Inc.
He's from Sun Life and he's from...
Ito & Associates
Well, it's not like that...
You're looking for Martyn-san, too?
We can't get hold of him, either.
It's a damn nuisance
- We're coming in
- Hello?
There's nothing of value here
Another runner...
The old jerk
was just another scam artist
Magic rings: 50 yen
It's bad news for you, too.
Make sure he pays up
Hey!
Wait up!
Open the window!
I won't give you any money.
I'm not a fraudster
But you were his decoy
I prefer you say "performer".
It's showbiz, you know
And you got
your money's worth
Can I go now?
Just wait a minute...
Wait, wait...
What is it?
Do you know where he's gone?
I want to know, too.
Can you get out?
- Let's go to the police
- No way in hell
Watanabe Private Detective Agency
Martyn Ueda?
What's your relationship with the old gent?
He ran off, after promising me
my moment on stage
He just made me eat onions every day
I didn't get a penny...
Martyn Ueda
Once Famous TV Hypnotist
How about you?
Did the little girl
become a musical prodigy?
As if...
I'd have happily taught
her how to dance
Fine. I sense you're not hunting him
on behalf of loan sharks
Some colleagues of mine
get tempted by the cash
But loan sharks are merciless
when they get their guy
I charge 8,000/hour, 9am-5pm
A full day is 64,000 yen
If it takes a week to find him...
- A week?
- You should count on that
The total is 448,000 yen
Count me out, thanks
But...
Well? It'll be the same price everywhere
In that case, I'd like to proceed
When you find the old geezer,
let me know
For free?
And if I find him first,
I'll tell you, for free
I must admit, I was surprised
But thanks to you, I won the bid
Did you ad-lib? A sudden inspiration?
Yes, sort of...
What do you say...
Will you join my team?
I set up a new office
but one person quit
I'd be happy to
But there's one thing
I've got to take care of
Can I get a week's holiday?
You've got nerve, I give you that
Let's have you start next Monday
But...
I won't wait longer than that
Right
Welcome to "Music Voyage"...
Let's start with this one
Shall we go for dinner?
Yes
But only if it's a quiet place
with no music
You're an interesting one
Sir, we've been expecting you
Nice to see you again
- I've had plenty
- Go on
Sorry, work follows me
no matter where I go
I need my laptop from my car
Get another bottle of whatever you like
So expensive!
Hey, I told you not to call
any more, right?
I know it was my idea
you took paid holiday but...
I hate surprises
Happy birthday!
The whole world is just for me
Keep your eyes on the new me
I’m sure the glass slipper will fit
With this body I've sculpted
I should be a worthy prize
I bend back my bow
Aim my arrow for his heart
He's not getting away
It's a bullseye for sure
Quit pestering me, okay?
Those heaven-sent good looks
It'd be a sin to waste them
Only the best man in the world
is worthy to take these hands
That's her!
It's not what you think
I'm sure it isn't
Don't stand there,
start cleaning!
My skirt's ruined...
Look, I didn't do it on purpose
Yeah, sure. Your drunken high-spirits
went too far
I said I wasn't drunk, I was...
Ryosuke Murakami
If you cover the damage
I won't make a big fuss
Here it is, 7 bottles of wine,
15 glasses
8 plates, table cloths, a chandelier...
...and some other stuff
And the total is... here
Let me count the zeroes...
tens, hundreds, thousands...
It's not a small amount
It's morning already
You better make this right
This is Murakami, please leave a message
I'm sorry about last night
I wasn't feeling well
so I left early
I'll be at the office on Monday for sure
Back to work!! September 9th
I guess that's everything
What about this?
Forget it
Anything else you want to sell,
just give us a call
Watanabe Detective Agency
Hello?
You found him?
I think it's the right guy
He's touring the provinces
as a magician with a new name
He's in this bar now
As a magician?
I'll send a photo of his poster.
Check it out and get back to me
You naughty boy
This old guy's clean broke
That's just newspaper
But if I do this...voila!
That's amazing!
Girls go buy whatever you like
Just for the girls though!
But you're special
Thank you, dear
Quit this place
and be my assistant
Just join me on stage
and help out a little
I'm not sure. Isn't it difficult?
It's easy-peasy. Watch!
I'll pick it up...
What a nuisance...
Tour Through a World of Mystery
So, did you see it?
It's him. Please grab him
and bring him here
I'm not the police
so I can't do that
Then hold him there somehow
If I talk to him
he'll go to ground
If you want to meet him
you need to get up here
"Up here" is where exactly?
That information
requires a contingency fee
I can't pay you any more
In that case I'll close the case
Wait!
I'm sorry, so sorry!
Take a flyer, please
Take a flyer, thanks
Please! Thank you!
Here you go, thanks
Here you are
Wow, how gross is she?
A viewer sent us this video
Shot in a high-class restaurant
in Tokyo on Monday
The woman in question
had too much to drink
began singing,
then swung from a chandelier
and attacked the table settings
Until she was finally subdued
by security staff
All my female friends
can hold their drink
so I've never seen anything
like this...
Shizuka Suzuki
So you really were hypnotized...
I wouldn't be asking you
if it wasn't true
Stations, airports...they all have music.
This is my only choice
Scary...
Next performance
Sept. 7th
The vital info's missing
Niigata
So far North...
I never met anyone
he actually hypnotized before you
Meaning what?
Apparently he used to be amazing
As he got older he had to hire
someone like me
It was all bullshit to me
Oh, before I forget
What's that?
Gas receipt
I told you, I've got no money
Nothing at all?
So I'm driving you to Niigata
on my dime?
Arguably, it's all your fault
Me? What about the old hypnotist?
I don't have much money either
I quit. I'm heading home.
Wait up. Wait, will you?
Why should I?
Take a right turn there
I'm fed up
I need to ask you a favor
I'm home!
- Welcome back
- Hi, honey
What are you looking for?
Check book
Why?
You need to buy something?
A smart phone
Your mom said no, right?
Is this enough?
500,000 yen
Jumbo Coin Bank
This is perfect
Here
Can I have it?
It's a loan, until I pay you back
I've been rehearsing tons.
Come watch me, okay?
Shizuka?
- How come you're home?
- Let's get out of here
Shizuka!
This is heavy enough to cover me
Expenses only. Money-grubbing cow
You've never had to worry
about money
I'm saving towards my life goal
Look
I'll rent this place out already equipped
Sound-proofed, hardwood floors
Sound-proofed?
I'm not decided yet but I'm thinking
either hot yoga or pilates studio
If you get fired, I'll employ you
You must be kidding
- Keep it. I've got a copy
- I don't want it
- Keep it.
- I don't want it
Look carefully
Keep it
Watch where ya' going!
You fat cow
Shut up, redneck!
What did ya' say?
Here they come...
Hey, stop the car!
Get lost, assholes!
That was scary
Next up, by special request...
What is it that you're looking for?
Is it a difficult thing to find?
Look in your bag, look in your desk
But we still can't find it
Do you want to keep looking?
Wouldn't you rather dance with me?
Wouldn't you rather come with me
Into a world of dreams?
"Welcome to Niigata"
- Where is it?
- There's the notice board
Here it is
September 7th
In Hirosaki
Hirosaki in Aomori prefecture?
I wanted to sort this out today
It's only 6 or 7 hours from here
We can easily make it by tomorrow night
Let's find a hotel...and get us some sake
What's going on?
It's just an oil leak
It's all your fault
Yokoyama Car Repair
I need a fix on my car
- What's wrong with it?
- It's leaking oil
- Where is it?
- I'm in that nearby mall
- I see
- Can you bring a tow truck?
- What make?
- It's a maroon Opti
I'll get the details.
Hold on a second
You hungry?
Hello, we'll be right there
I'll just leave the car here.
Can you take it?
You're coming with us
How did they know?
That's our tow truck
Get out
They'll chop us up
and bury us
Don't say that
I hear you disrespected us
What did you call us again?
Nothing...
Yes, you did
Out with it...
Red...
Red...necklaces are my favorite?
That wasn't it!
What's going on here?
Dragging girls into it now, huh?
You want to make something of it?
Bring it on
Come on, let's battle!
Oh no...
Hey wait...
You were the great!
We were pretty cool, huh?
Want to start a double act?
Don't pretend we're friends
I replaced the oil pan and filter
And I refilled your oil, too
It's mostly 10 yen coins
Don't tell me you knew
you were broke?
Maybe we'll find a wallet somewhere
What's up?
In his navy blue t-shirt
He's just so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He doesn't like to be alone
He's cheeky as hell
He drives me crazy
But I love him as well
L.O.V.E. Blow him a kiss
Do you really like me?
Make your feelings plain
In a pocket missing a button
A dirty, crumpled handkerchief
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
Tips in here, please
Thank you, handsome
No money? Thanks anyway
We accept banknotes, too
You really don't want the money?
I was just after enough
to get me to Akita for a party
Perfect. Let's make a fortune,
the three of us
We'll drop you in Akita on the way
Thank you
Just double-checking.
You sure you don't need it?
He's always late for our dates
He always starts the fights
But he's so damn, so damn cute
My much younger guy
He's forgetful and selfish
He's a little mean but I like him
L.O.V.E. Blow him a kiss
Do you really like me?
Make your feelings plain
Like one glove lost from a pair
Like a shoe left untied
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
So you broke up the band
and broke up with him?
We didn't really break up...
We just needed to recharge
our batteries, you know?
I sure do
We were tired of putting on
fake persona
But being apart
has really cleared my head
I've decided not to hide from myself
Not to aim too high, just be myself
Why not sing with me at my party tonight
That won't work
Don't worry. We'll arrive at 4pm
and the old guy's show is at 8pm
It's the last thing I'll ask
Just for a while
But not dressed like this...
We'll rent costumes
Just for one song
I'm so glad
Costume rental, here we come!
It's 4.30pm...where is she?
What kind of party is it?
Well...
Guys...
This way
It's narrow so watch your step
We're backstage now
Wait here, please. On cue,
step on stage and perform
Now we depart from the schedule...
A last minute appearance
from Naoyuki's old friend
with a surprise of a song
Do we sing now?
I've no idea
Take it away
Wedding Bells
Don't tease me, Wedding Bells
I was serious, Wedding Bells
Thank you
An organ quietly plays
Now it begins, now it begins
The Bride passes me by
What a pretty dress
So this is the girl you love?
I see her for the first time
I'm just prettier than her
"Congrats to the Happy Couple"
Stop singing
Yoko...
I dreamt of holding hands,
walking to the altar
What about the restraining order!?
Forced to sit alone, way in the back
As you show off your happiness
Allow me to say one thing
Go to hell! Ah...
...men
That's right, you'll spot me soon
Show me that innocent smile
Then I'll say to you
"Long time, no see"
"Congratulations, she's a lovely girl"
"Thank you for the invitation"
This will be my blessing to you
"Go to hell! Amen!"
How do we get out?
It's this way!
Stop the car, please
Slow down
Stop the car
Let's take another route
Get out of the way
Back up!
Anything going on?
There's been an incident
This woman's been reported
running around with a knife
Take care, please
There you have it...
That hurts!
What's that for?
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Tour Through a World of Mystery
Today, I'll show you
the mysterious world of hypnosis
I'll need a volunteer
Someone with courage
enough to join the experiment
You're eager, both of you
How about this lady, here.
Come on up
Just a regular member of the public...
You're shaped like an onion
- Which way?
- I don't know
- Here
- At last
Sorry, you missed the show
It's no use. It's all over...
Where are you from?
From Tokyo
You, too?
He must be so popular there
That guy was from Tokyo too, right?
Yes
He was disappointed
to have missed the show
You were that desperate to see it?
I shouldn't say so,
but it was no big deal
He chose one lady from the crowd
and tried it on
But it didn't work out
He ended up just doing magic tricks
Serves him right
Without me, that dirty old man's nothing
Did he say where's he heading?
I wonder...
Any posters left?
We already put out the trash
Might be something out back
There's nothing here
Wait, please!
Heck...
Wait!
Stop!
He'll be in Sapporo tomorrow
Get the ticket out
To Hakodate
It's crowded
This'll take a while
Wait, wait! Stop
What is it?
You were about to get a flat tire
Thank you so much
Is this right?
Here's good
That feels better
It's gone
You can hold your drink
Don't forget you're driving to Sapporo
tomorrow
It's fine.
He said he'll drive us there
And I don't drink
What's going on?
Are you done?
We're doing karaoke now
It's our turn
I love you, I hate you, I love you
I hate you, when the petals fall
I love you, kiss me, I love you
Kiss me, right now...
Dear Chinese guests...
Please try to quieten down
We'd really appreciate it, please
It thought it was unusual
he was so into me...
When I woke up, he was gone
I'm just fed up!
Can't you ever behave?
You're all talk, you're sloppy,
everything you touch turns to crap
Has your life always been this shit?
No wonder Martyn ran off.
You can't be trusted
Attention, all passengers
must leave the boat at this time
I repeat, all customers
must leave the boat now
Please, give me a lift!
Please, stop!
"Must be in Sapporo by 7pm"
Thank you!
Why?
Just doing a solo road-trip.
Hop in
I've never seen Sapporo.
Sorry it's a rental car
Where in Sapporo are you heading?
You can't tip that out there
Welcome, folks
(In Mandarin)
What's going on?
They say I'm no fun as a guide.
They want you to join us
Seriously?
Bathroom break
Hakodate station
We've got to go all the way
to Sapporo?
Yes and I've got to head back
to Tokyo
So I'd like my fee
He'd better be there
Leave this jerk.
Let's get to Sapporo
Perfect
He performs at 7pm
at the Sapporo Municipal Hall.
- Do we get a cab?
- Express train's faster
You really are a scumbag
Oh, yeah? Sometimes you stoop low
to make a living
Why are you still rushing around
after that old geezer?
That's because...
Come walk along
By the seashore
What's going on?
Remember our time
Once more
Were you and he...?
Of course not
I listen to the wind
Watch the clouds
Waves come rolling in
Along with the colorful shells
Seriously?
"Sapporo-Furano-Tomamu"
I don't care what they say behind my back
I just want to be with you
Xiè, xiè
Do you have Japanese yen?
I don't want that. Thanks, guys
Piece of cake. A few drinks
and she rolled over
Did she really believe
I was into her?
Wow, that's a top-ranked company
So I really need to break this spell
It'll be a disaster
if I'm not back tomorrow
Go faster, overtake it!
No, the limit's 50kmh here!
Damn it
Just get a move on!
We'll soon be arriving in Sapporo
Final Performance
So let's have her eat this onion
By the way,
you don't have false teeth do you?
What you're looking at is an apple
It's a sweet, sweet apple.
Go ahead
No, not like that. Take a big bite
It's an apple so just go ahead
That's it
This way
Tickets please
How much?
There's a vending machine there
Honey you want to join us?
Yes
Haven't we met somewhere?
Doubt it...
Do you have a ticket?
Not yet
Get another
It's fine. Let's go
Occasionally some people don't respond
A round of applause anyway.
You're very kind
Nothing in this world is 100%
I'm a true hypnotist.
Unlike some others,
I never plant decoys
in the audience
I'm not lying, it's true
You don't believe me, do you?
Who else would like to try
being hypnotized?
It seems I've no takers...
So let's switch it up
and see some magic tricks
We don't want a magician,
we want a hypnotist!
Here!
Hypnotize me!
It won't take 10,000 yen bills
Can you change this for me?
I can't open the till for change
Then just take this, I don't need change
That's not how it works
Fan: 1,000 yen, Cap: 5,000 yen
Do you like onions?
I must say it's not my favorite food
I could never eat a raw one
Your hypnosis works.
That girl's still totally affected
You remember her, right?
Let's do it
Let's have you eat this
On the count of three
You'll see this onion
as a very sweet apple
For you, it'll be an actual apple
How is it?
It's sweet. It's super sweet!
- Is it really?
- It's so delicious!
It's so sweet!
I'm not pretending at all,
It's great!
That's got to be fake, right?
Excuse me...
What the hell are you doing here?
Can you wait until the end of the show?
For free?
In that case...
For this
- Sure
- Hey, wait!
Shut up and sit down
Are you okay?
How else can we hypnotize you?
Think of whatever you like
- Really?
- Of course
Then I'd like to become
a great musical performer
Oh, I see...
When you hear music,
you can't help but to sing and to dance
But it's lonely up here by yourself
Any other takers?
You, too!
What?
And you! You, also! You, too!
Tonight, beneath starry skies
If I can have one wish come true
Tonight, the treasures in my heart
Please deliver to my true love
who's far away
Across the dark, a rainbow
Please come my way
So don't close your window
Until the morning comes
Tonight, it's you I love the most
I never want dreams that will not come true
Your glow outshines them all
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
When the song ends
you'll all come out from hypnosis
Everything will be back to normal
It's you I love the most
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
Your glow outshines them all
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
The old jerk ran off again!
Hello, Watanabe here...
Now?
In Niigata, maybe?
Why's he even here?
You forgot something
This is pretty important, right?
Okay, then
You better get going
What's all that?
I'm heading that way
Sound-proofed, hardwood floors
Hey, wait!
Musical Studio "Dance With Me"
Opening Soon
If you love mysterious dreams
and ancient history
Turn the dial way back in time
Visit the Jurassic
and the world of fossils
The ammonites are napping,
T-Rex is out for a stroll
Head back to wonderful days of innocence
Or spend days in the age of cinema,
tap dance and romance
In a sparkling, golden age
when girls wore mink
Go crazy for Bogart's fedora
And dream of a ride in a Duesenberg
You can journey back whenever you like
Plunge down the spiral of time
Just plug the request
into your time machine

Tonight!
Tonight with Martyn Ueda
Our much-loved hypnotist,
Martyn-san
is now deploying his powers
You are now a famous conductor
When you hear music,
you'll just have to start conducting
He thinks our panel is an orchestra
And you...
You, too...
Conducting through hypnosis,
can it be done?
May I get by?
I'm sorry
This way
Good morning
Thanks
There's that sweet face Murakami makes
when he's grateful
It's soooo cute
Doesn't it feel calculated?
Like he's making
a studied effort
- You think?
- Definitely
I'm so full
Me, too. The portions are huge
Murakami's new team
is up on the 42nd floor, right?
The girl he chose to join them, quit
The one who took all that vacation?
It was terrible timing, a real nuisance
Blew her one shot at a great job
What a waste!
So Murakami's looking
to get someone else on board
One of us, perhaps?
He surrounds himself
with favorites
- Maybe try on the glass slipper?
- Shut up!
"Fortune Land"?
What's that?
It's the boss. Run
Fortune Land
What's this?
Miss Suzuki, do you have a minute?
Can you put together the materials
for our big presentation?
You mean right away?
I want us all working from
the same documents. Can you help?
I'll do it
It's a lot of work. Can it be ready
by Monday?
This coming Monday?
I know it's a tough task
No, I'll make it work
I really appreciate it.
Can I get your number?
Sure. I'll email you later
I'm counting on you. Thanks
Great...
Mom & Dad
What do you want?
Hello, Shizuka?
You didn't come see us for ages.
How is everything?
It's not far, drop by sometime
Look, no news is good news.
Why are you calling?
Do I have to have a reason?
Listen, do you think
you raised yourself?
We footed your bills
all the way up to graduation
Hello? Are you there?
Hello, Sis?
I've got a reunion party near you
tomorrow
Can you look after my daughter
for the day?
What about Mom and Dad?
Didn't she tell you?
That was the reason she called
They're just going on a trip
Heck, I really don't want to
I heard that. What's wrong with you?
You always did everything you wanted,
the singing, the ballet, all thanks to us
I mean, in the end it worked out.
You studied hard and got a good job but...
Next, Shizuka Suzuki
Votes for the Lead Role
Shizuka Suzuki
Are we all agreed that Shizuka
plays the lead role?
Next is the 5th grade musical,
"The Kids' Island"
Shizuka, here's the mic
Ouch...
Yes?
Hi. Open up
Hey there, Winner
Don't call me that
I'm so jealous
Me, the sad, single mother divorcee...
Things are so much smarter
in the big city...
Really?
Can I borrow this bag
and those shoes in the hall?
You're a size 8, right?
I might be out pretty late
Might get lucky
Some chance...
Be good, Nana
- Wait a sec
- I gotta go!
I've got work to do...
Mr. Murakami, here's the file
Done at last!
Want to go see a movie?
"Fortune Land" Free Admission
We'll get in for free
You like musicals?
I have to be in one at school
Is that still going on?
I was forced to do it, too
So...you went to my school?
But I never really enjoyed
that kind of stuff
Me, neither
Right? Don't you think musicals are odd?
People singing
right out of the blue
It's crazy. Like they're
mentally unstable
Musicals are for idiots
Fortune Land
Let's go
Don't run off, you'll get lost
Tarot Reader: 1,200 yen
Heck, there's nothing free about this place
Hypnosis is neither magic
nor the supernatural...
"Martyn Ueda's House of Hypnosis"
"Only 500 yen"
What a scam
You're going in?
I'll pay
Haven't I seen that face before?
I married into an onion farmer's family
But I hate onions
Okay, I understand
When I count to three...
That onion's going to be
a sweet, sweet apple
One of your favorite foods
You're right!
It's so deliciously sweet!
It's really good!
My mother-in-law
won't harass me any more
That's amazing
Thank you so much
500 yen's too little.
Please accept this
There's no need.
5,000 is way too much
- Please, I insist
- You really shouldn't
Thank you so, so much
The pleasure was mine
Sorry for the wait. Come this way
Take a seat, please
I hand these out
to my first-timers
It's called The Ring of Truth
It reveals your aura. Let me help...
There you go
- It's fantastic
- Glad you like it
Normally 2,000 yen each
But today I'll make it
3,000 for 2, okay?
Another cost?
You're at the doorway
to the world of hypnosis
See how the ring won't come off?
You're right
Is that glue?
So, what kind of hypnosis
interests you?
There are several kinds
To return to infancy
there's "regressive hypnosis"
To like any kind of food
we have "palate mastery"
- To change the way you are...
- That one!
Which?
I want to be good in the musical
I'm so behind in rehearsal
and I want to prove myself.
I totally understand
In that case...
Take a look at this
Okay, focus right in the center, please
You've arrived in the world
of hypnosis
From tomorrow you'll feel
like you're the star of the musical
Why not today?
When you hear music,
you can't help but to sing and to dance
Sorry...
Message: Ryosuke Murakami
It's Murakami. Thank you
for a great job on those documents
I'd like it if you could attend
tomorrow's meeting, too
Meet me in the conference room
at 10am
This ring's useless
No throwing. What's wrong with it?
100 yen store junk?
It's nothing
You're quite something...
What do you mean?
Joining such a prestigious company
I worked my butt off
You're not overdoing it?
Not at all
We'll miss our bus
Bye, then. It's not far
so come home sometimes
- See you
- Bye
It's Murakami. Thank you
for a great job on those documents
I'd like it if you could attend
tomorrow's meeting, too
Meet me in the conference room
at 10am
From tomorrow you'll feel
like you're a musical star
When you hear music, you can't help
but to sing and to dance
Miss, are you getting on?
Yes...
Hold tight
Good morning
- What's going on?
- Don't tell me...
The first page of our website
tells the world who we are
Design-wise I wanted to keep
things simple...
Can you show us?
Sure...
As you can see here
we're talking about
a drastic design re-think
And the video
will have this music track...
Beautiful skyscrapers,
Each and every one mine
Allow yourself to dream
Don't break the magic spell
Hear the sweet melody
Feel love's rhythm
Filling us up
And all around
We find our happy valley
Our sunny, happy valley
Where precious days await
There's always a happy valley
The past is microscopic,
the future, telescopic
We'll always find love
Because this is where we belong
Find us in the happy valley
The sunny, happy valley
Where precious days await
Find us in the happy valley
It's a timeless world, that'll never change
Around the world, we all find our own
There's always a happy valley
Get out of my way
Take me somewhere quiet
Close the door!
Somewhere quiet?
It's too noisy here,
just drive, please
Hypnosis...
...reversal
Mental Health Clinic
I see...
It looks like "conditional
post-hypnotic suggestion"
Post-hypnotic suggestion?
It's written like this
Most people think of hypnotism
as part of a magic show
But in the West, hypnotherapy
is a legitimate form of treatment
Is that right?
The placebo effect
is a real medical phenomenon
If a respected doctor prescribes something
said to be 100% effective
even a candy pill
can still produce a cure
The power of implicit suggestion
is thus much greater than we think
Don't worry,
nobody's cast a spell on you
Speaking as a specialist,
this is no big deal
Let's get you checked out right away
This might sting...
You feel okay?
I don't see anything particularly abnormal
But I've never had a patient
in such a deep hypnotic state
I'd ask the original practitioner
to reverse it
The original practitioner?
People eager to stop smoking
are susceptible to hypnosis
but not if they don't want to quit
Maybe you wanted to sing and dance
all along?
Next is the 5th grade musical,
"The Kids' Island"
Shizuka, here's the mic
You still have next year
Exactly
I'm never doing that again!
Idiots...are they really hypnotized?
Don't be stupid
They're just pretending
so they can be on TV
They're just paid performers
You got that right
Attention all customers
Fortune Land will close in 30 minutes
We know you're there.
Let us in, please!
Or we'll let ourselves in
Another one? How much
debt is he in?
Which company are you?
I'm from Cash Plan Inc.
He's from Sun Life and he's from...
Ito & Associates
Well, it's not like that...
You're looking for Martyn-san, too?
We can't get hold of him, either.
It's a damn nuisance
- We're coming in
- Hello?
There's nothing of value here
Another runner...
The old jerk
was just another scam artist
Magic rings: 50 yen
It's bad news for you, too.
Make sure he pays up
Hey!
Wait up!
Open the window!
I won't give you any money.
I'm not a fraudster
But you were his decoy
I prefer you say "performer".
It's showbiz, you know
And you got
your money's worth
Can I go now?
Just wait a minute...
Wait, wait...
What is it?
Do you know where he's gone?
I want to know, too.
Can you get out?
- Let's go to the police
- No way in hell
Watanabe Private Detective Agency
Martyn Ueda?
What's your relationship with the old gent?
He ran off, after promising me
my moment on stage
He just made me eat onions every day
I didn't get a penny...
Martyn Ueda
Once Famous TV Hypnotist
How about you?
Did the little girl
become a musical prodigy?
As if...
I'd have happily taught
her how to dance
Fine. I sense you're not hunting him
on behalf of loan sharks
Some colleagues of mine
get tempted by the cash
But loan sharks are merciless
when they get their guy
I charge 8,000/hour, 9am-5pm
A full day is 64,000 yen
If it takes a week to find him...
- A week?
- You should count on that
The total is 448,000 yen
Count me out, thanks
But...
Well? It'll be the same price everywhere
In that case, I'd like to proceed
When you find the old geezer,
let me know
For free?
And if I find him first,
I'll tell you, for free
I must admit, I was surprised
But thanks to you, I won the bid
Did you ad-lib? A sudden inspiration?
Yes, sort of...
What do you say...
Will you join my team?
I set up a new office
but one person quit
I'd be happy to
But there's one thing
I've got to take care of
Can I get a week's holiday?
You've got nerve, I give you that
Let's have you start next Monday
But...
I won't wait longer than that
Right
Welcome to "Music Voyage"...
Let's start with this one
Shall we go for dinner?
Yes
But only if it's a quiet place
with no music
You're an interesting one
Sir, we've been expecting you
Nice to see you again
- I've had plenty
- Go on
Sorry, work follows me
no matter where I go
I need my laptop from my car
Get another bottle of whatever you like
So expensive!
Hey, I told you not to call
any more, right?
I know it was my idea
you took paid holiday but...
I hate surprises
Happy birthday!
The whole world is just for me
Keep your eyes on the new me
I’m sure the glass slipper will fit
With this body I've sculpted
I should be a worthy prize
I bend back my bow
Aim my arrow for his heart
He's not getting away
It's a bullseye for sure
Quit pestering me, okay?
Those heaven-sent good looks
It'd be a sin to waste them
Only the best man in the world
is worthy to take these hands
That's her!
It's not what you think
I'm sure it isn't
Don't stand there,
start cleaning!
My skirt's ruined...
Look, I didn't do it on purpose
Yeah, sure. Your drunken high-spirits
went too far
I said I wasn't drunk, I was...
Ryosuke Murakami
If you cover the damage
I won't make a big fuss
Here it is, 7 bottles of wine,
15 glasses
8 plates, table cloths, a chandelier...
...and some other stuff
And the total is... here
Let me count the zeroes...
tens, hundreds, thousands...
It's not a small amount
It's morning already
You better make this right
This is Murakami, please leave a message
I'm sorry about last night
I wasn't feeling well
so I left early
I'll be at the office on Monday for sure
Back to work!! September 9th
I guess that's everything
What about this?
Forget it
Anything else you want to sell,
just give us a call
Watanabe Detective Agency
Hello?
You found him?
I think it's the right guy
He's touring the provinces
as a magician with a new name
He's in this bar now
As a magician?
I'll send a photo of his poster.
Check it out and get back to me
You naughty boy
This old guy's clean broke
That's just newspaper
But if I do this...voila!
That's amazing!
Girls go buy whatever you like
Just for the girls though!
But you're special
Thank you, dear
Quit this place
and be my assistant
Just join me on stage
and help out a little
I'm not sure. Isn't it difficult?
It's easy-peasy. Watch!
I'll pick it up...
What a nuisance...
Tour Through a World of Mystery
So, did you see it?
It's him. Please grab him
and bring him here
I'm not the police
so I can't do that
Then hold him there somehow
If I talk to him
he'll go to ground
If you want to meet him
you need to get up here
"Up here" is where exactly?
That information
requires a contingency fee
I can't pay you any more
In that case I'll close the case
Wait!
I'm sorry, so sorry!
Take a flyer, please
Take a flyer, thanks
Please! Thank you!
Here you go, thanks
Here you are
Wow, how gross is she?
A viewer sent us this video
Shot in a high-class restaurant
in Tokyo on Monday
The woman in question
had too much to drink
began singing,
then swung from a chandelier
and attacked the table settings
Until she was finally subdued
by security staff
All my female friends
can hold their drink
so I've never seen anything
like this...
Shizuka Suzuki
So you really were hypnotized...
I wouldn't be asking you
if it wasn't true
Stations, airports...they all have music.
This is my only choice
Scary...
Next performance
Sept. 7th
The vital info's missing
Niigata
So far North...
I never met anyone
he actually hypnotized before you
Meaning what?
Apparently he used to be amazing
As he got older he had to hire
someone like me
It was all bullshit to me
Oh, before I forget
What's that?
Gas receipt
I told you, I've got no money
Nothing at all?
So I'm driving you to Niigata
on my dime?
Arguably, it's all your fault
Me? What about the old hypnotist?
I don't have much money either
I quit. I'm heading home.
Wait up. Wait, will you?
Why should I?
Take a right turn there
I'm fed up
I need to ask you a favor
I'm home!
- Welcome back
- Hi, honey
What are you looking for?
Check book
Why?
You need to buy something?
A smart phone
Your mom said no, right?
Is this enough?
500,000 yen
Jumbo Coin Bank
This is perfect
Here
Can I have it?
It's a loan, until I pay you back
I've been rehearsing tons.
Come watch me, okay?
Shizuka?
- How come you're home?
- Let's get out of here
Shizuka!
This is heavy enough to cover me
Expenses only. Money-grubbing cow
You've never had to worry
about money
I'm saving towards my life goal
Look
I'll rent this place out already equipped
Sound-proofed, hardwood floors
Sound-proofed?
I'm not decided yet but I'm thinking
either hot yoga or pilates studio
If you get fired, I'll employ you
You must be kidding
- Keep it. I've got a copy
- I don't want it
- Keep it.
- I don't want it
Look carefully
Keep it
Watch where ya' going!
You fat cow
Shut up, redneck!
What did ya' say?
Here they come...
Hey, stop the car!
Get lost, assholes!
That was scary
Next up, by special request...
What is it that you're looking for?
Is it a difficult thing to find?
Look in your bag, look in your desk
But we still can't find it
Do you want to keep looking?
Wouldn't you rather dance with me?
Wouldn't you rather come with me
Into a world of dreams?
"Welcome to Niigata"
- Where is it?
- There's the notice board
Here it is
September 7th
In Hirosaki
Hirosaki in Aomori prefecture?
I wanted to sort this out today
It's only 6 or 7 hours from here
We can easily make it by tomorrow night
Let's find a hotel...and get us some sake
What's going on?
It's just an oil leak
It's all your fault
Yokoyama Car Repair
I need a fix on my car
- What's wrong with it?
- It's leaking oil
- Where is it?
- I'm in that nearby mall
- I see
- Can you bring a tow truck?
- What make?
- It's a maroon Opti
I'll get the details.
Hold on a second
You hungry?
Hello, we'll be right there
I'll just leave the car here.
Can you take it?
You're coming with us
How did they know?
That's our tow truck
Get out
They'll chop us up
and bury us
Don't say that
I hear you disrespected us
What did you call us again?
Nothing...
Yes, you did
Out with it...
Red...
Red...necklaces are my favorite?
That wasn't it!
What's going on here?
Dragging girls into it now, huh?
You want to make something of it?
Bring it on
Come on, let's battle!
Oh no...
Hey wait...
You were the great!
We were pretty cool, huh?
Want to start a double act?
Don't pretend we're friends
I replaced the oil pan and filter
And I refilled your oil, too
It's mostly 10 yen coins
Don't tell me you knew
you were broke?
Maybe we'll find a wallet somewhere
What's up?
In his navy blue t-shirt
He's just so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He doesn't like to be alone
He's cheeky as hell
He drives me crazy
But I love him as well
L.O.V.E. Blow him a kiss
Do you really like me?
Make your feelings plain
In a pocket missing a button
A dirty, crumpled handkerchief
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
Tips in here, please
Thank you, handsome
No money? Thanks anyway
We accept banknotes, too
You really don't want the money?
I was just after enough
to get me to Akita for a party
Perfect. Let's make a fortune,
the three of us
We'll drop you in Akita on the way
Thank you
Just double-checking.
You sure you don't need it?
He's always late for our dates
He always starts the fights
But he's so damn, so damn cute
My much younger guy
He's forgetful and selfish
He's a little mean but I like him
L.O.V.E. Blow him a kiss
Do you really like me?
Make your feelings plain
Like one glove lost from a pair
Like a shoe left untied
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
He so damn, so damn cute
I fell for a younger guy
So you broke up the band
and broke up with him?
We didn't really break up...
We just needed to recharge
our batteries, you know?
I sure do
We were tired of putting on
fake persona
But being apart
has really cleared my head
I've decided not to hide from myself
Not to aim too high, just be myself
Why not sing with me at my party tonight
That won't work
Don't worry. We'll arrive at 4pm
and the old guy's show is at 8pm
It's the last thing I'll ask
Just for a while
But not dressed like this...
We'll rent costumes
Just for one song
I'm so glad
Costume rental, here we come!
It's 4.30pm...where is she?
What kind of party is it?
Well...
Guys...
This way
It's narrow so watch your step
We're backstage now
Wait here, please. On cue,
step on stage and perform
Now we depart from the schedule...
A last minute appearance
from Naoyuki's old friend
with a surprise of a song
Do we sing now?
I've no idea
Take it away
Wedding Bells
Don't tease me, Wedding Bells
I was serious, Wedding Bells
Thank you
An organ quietly plays
Now it begins, now it begins
The Bride passes me by
What a pretty dress
So this is the girl you love?
I see her for the first time
I'm just prettier than her
"Congrats to the Happy Couple"
Stop singing
Yoko...
I dreamt of holding hands,
walking to the altar
What about the restraining order!?
Forced to sit alone, way in the back
As you show off your happiness
Allow me to say one thing
Go to hell! Ah...
...men
That's right, you'll spot me soon
Show me that innocent smile
Then I'll say to you
"Long time, no see"
"Congratulations, she's a lovely girl"
"Thank you for the invitation"
This will be my blessing to you
"Go to hell! Amen!"
How do we get out?
It's this way!
Stop the car, please
Slow down
Stop the car
Let's take another route
Get out of the way
Back up!
Anything going on?
There's been an incident
This woman's been reported
running around with a knife
Take care, please
There you have it...
That hurts!
What's that for?
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Tour Through a World of Mystery
Today, I'll show you
the mysterious world of hypnosis
I'll need a volunteer
Someone with courage
enough to join the experiment
You're eager, both of you
How about this lady, here.
Come on up
Just a regular member of the public...
You're shaped like an onion
- Which way?
- I don't know
- Here
- At last
Sorry, you missed the show
It's no use. It's all over...
Where are you from?
From Tokyo
You, too?
He must be so popular there
That guy was from Tokyo too, right?
Yes
He was disappointed
to have missed the show
You were that desperate to see it?
I shouldn't say so,
but it was no big deal
He chose one lady from the crowd
and tried it on
But it didn't work out
He ended up just doing magic tricks
Serves him right
Without me, that dirty old man's nothing
Did he say where's he heading?
I wonder...
Any posters left?
We already put out the trash
Might be something out back
There's nothing here
Wait, please!
Heck...
Wait!
Stop!
He'll be in Sapporo tomorrow
Get the ticket out
To Hakodate
It's crowded
This'll take a while
Wait, wait! Stop
What is it?
You were about to get a flat tire
Thank you so much
Is this right?
Here's good
That feels better
It's gone
You can hold your drink
Don't forget you're driving to Sapporo
tomorrow
It's fine.
He said he'll drive us there
And I don't drink
What's going on?
Are you done?
We're doing karaoke now
It's our turn
I love you, I hate you, I love you
I hate you, when the petals fall
I love you, kiss me, I love you
Kiss me, right now...
Dear Chinese guests...
Please try to quieten down
We'd really appreciate it, please
It thought it was unusual
he was so into me...
When I woke up, he was gone
I'm just fed up!
Can't you ever behave?
You're all talk, you're sloppy,
everything you touch turns to crap
Has your life always been this shit?
No wonder Martyn ran off.
You can't be trusted
Attention, all passengers
must leave the boat at this time
I repeat, all customers
must leave the boat now
Please, give me a lift!
Please, stop!
"Must be in Sapporo by 7pm"
Thank you!
Why?
Just doing a solo road-trip.
Hop in
I've never seen Sapporo.
Sorry it's a rental car
Where in Sapporo are you heading?
You can't tip that out there
Welcome, folks
(In Mandarin)
What's going on?
They say I'm no fun as a guide.
They want you to join us
Seriously?
Bathroom break
Hakodate station
We've got to go all the way
to Sapporo?
Yes and I've got to head back
to Tokyo
So I'd like my fee
He'd better be there
Leave this jerk.
Let's get to Sapporo
Perfect
He performs at 7pm
at the Sapporo Municipal Hall.
- Do we get a cab?
- Express train's faster
You really are a scumbag
Oh, yeah? Sometimes you stoop low
to make a living
Why are you still rushing around
after that old geezer?
That's because...
Come walk along
By the seashore
What's going on?
Remember our time
Once more
Were you and he...?
Of course not
I listen to the wind
Watch the clouds
Waves come rolling in
Along with the colorful shells
Seriously?
"Sapporo-Furano-Tomamu"
I don't care what they say behind my back
I just want to be with you
Xiè, xiè
Do you have Japanese yen?
I don't want that. Thanks, guys
Piece of cake. A few drinks
and she rolled over
Did she really believe
I was into her?
Wow, that's a top-ranked company
So I really need to break this spell
It'll be a disaster
if I'm not back tomorrow
Go faster, overtake it!
No, the limit's 50kmh here!
Damn it
Just get a move on!
We'll soon be arriving in Sapporo
Final Performance
So let's have her eat this onion
By the way,
you don't have false teeth do you?
What you're looking at is an apple
It's a sweet, sweet apple.
Go ahead
No, not like that. Take a big bite
It's an apple so just go ahead
That's it
This way
Tickets please
How much?
There's a vending machine there
Honey you want to join us?
Yes
Haven't we met somewhere?
Doubt it...
Do you have a ticket?
Not yet
Get another
It's fine. Let's go
Occasionally some people don't respond
A round of applause anyway.
You're very kind
Nothing in this world is 100%
I'm a true hypnotist.
Unlike some others,
I never plant decoys
in the audience
I'm not lying, it's true
You don't believe me, do you?
Who else would like to try
being hypnotized?
It seems I've no takers...
So let's switch it up
and see some magic tricks
We don't want a magician,
we want a hypnotist!
Here!
Hypnotize me!
It won't take 10,000 yen bills
Can you change this for me?
I can't open the till for change
Then just take this, I don't need change
That's not how it works
Fan: 1,000 yen, Cap: 5,000 yen
Do you like onions?
I must say it's not my favorite food
I could never eat a raw one
Your hypnosis works.
That girl's still totally affected
You remember her, right?
Let's do it
Let's have you eat this
On the count of three
You'll see this onion
as a very sweet apple
For you, it'll be an actual apple
How is it?
It's sweet. It's super sweet!
- Is it really?
- It's so delicious!
It's so sweet!
I'm not pretending at all,
It's great!
That's got to be fake, right?
Excuse me...
What the hell are you doing here?
Can you wait until the end of the show?
For free?
In that case...
For this
- Sure
- Hey, wait!
Shut up and sit down
Are you okay?
How else can we hypnotize you?
Think of whatever you like
- Really?
- Of course
Then I'd like to become
a great musical performer
Oh, I see...
When you hear music,
you can't help but to sing and to dance
But it's lonely up here by yourself
Any other takers?
You, too!
What?
And you! You, also! You, too!
Tonight, beneath starry skies
If I can have one wish come true
Tonight, the treasures in my heart
Please deliver to my true love
who's far away
Across the dark, a rainbow
Please come my way
So don't close your window
Until the morning comes
Tonight, it's you I love the most
I never want dreams that will not come true
Your glow outshines them all
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
When the song ends
you'll all come out from hypnosis
Everything will be back to normal
It's you I love the most
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
Your glow outshines them all
I don't want dreams
that won't come true, tonight
The old jerk ran off again!
Hello, Watanabe here...
Now?
In Niigata, maybe?
Why's he even here?
You forgot something
This is pretty important, right?
Okay, then
You better get going
What's all that?
I'm heading that way
Sound-proofed, hardwood floors
Hey, wait!
Musical Studio "Dance With Me"
Opening Soon
If you love mysterious dreams
and ancient history
Turn the dial way back in time
Visit the Jurassic
and the world of fossils
The ammonites are napping,
T-Rex is out for a stroll
Head back to wonderful days of innocence
Or spend days in the age of cinema,
tap dance and romance
In a sparkling, golden age
when girls wore mink
Go crazy for Bogart's fedora
And dream of a ride in a Duesenberg
You can journey back whenever you like
Plunge down the spiral of time
Just plug the request
into your time machine
