Nana (2006–2007): Season 1, Episode 15 - Blast, First Live - full transcript

It's the evening of Blast' debut concert in Tokyo, and Nana K. does her best to drum up support for the band--but will her thunder get stolen by an ultra-cute groupie?

Back then, I wasn't really able to
love someone properly.

Yet, I couldn't help but want to be loved.

When I was darkness at that time

With trembling lips

In a corner of a room I cry

The more I struggle

The more this wound deepens

The broken promise hurt me

Nobody can save me

God, I have only one request

Stop tearing apart my love



I need your love

I'm a broken rose

Sorrow tumbling down is your song

All alone with nowhere to go in my life

I need your love

I'm a broken rose

Oh baby, help me from frozen pain

With your smile, your eyes,
and sing me, just for me

I wanna need your love

I'm a broken rose

I wanna need your love

What's that supposed to mean?

You went to Nana's place because
you were worried, right?

Then what good will lecturing her do?



But it just came out that way.

How can you say things
so bluntly

to someone who's heart's
been shattered?

But I did it for Nana's sake.

If so, you could've chosen a better time.

But there's meaning in talking to her
about it now because of what happened.

Welcome.

What? Hey Nobo,
where's Koichi Sato?

He caught a cold, so he's off today.

Really? I guess, with the change
in temperature lately.

Could we have two beers?

Sure.

What are you doing
sneaking around like that, Shoji?

Don't worry about me. My character
disappeared in the last episode.

You definitely didn't disappear.

- I can see you just fine.
- That's not possible...

- Drink with us.
- Watch out!

How naive of you.

You deserve to experience being
that character who gets hated

and despised by viewers,
but still needs to make appearances.

I shouldn't have come to Jackson's.

What about work?
Do you have the day off?

No sir. If you must know,

I have the evenings off during
the "Golden Week" holidays.

Just talk like you usually do.

I went to see Nana.

She really hates you,

so I suggest you don't try to fix things
and just keep a low profile.

What do you mean by "fix things"?

Well, because Shoji says

he hates breaking up like this
and wants to talk things over with Nana.

What does he want to talk to her about?

Some excuses, perhaps?

No, it's not like I wanna
make excuses to her...

It's just, I think I should properly
apologize to her.

Not a good idea!
If you have no intention

of getting back together with Nana,
you should clearly end this relationship!

You've gotta realize it's your attitude,
trying to hold on to them both,

that hurt both Nana and Sachiko.

You still haven't learned your lesson!

I don't think you wanna apologize
to Nana out of kindness.

By apologizing, you just wanna
feel better about yourself.

Kyosuke, you're being
just as blunt, you know.

Yeah? It's ok. My motto is
to be kind to women, strict toward men.

Nobo. I'll leave the money here.

You running away?

No. You're absolutely right.

So on that note, I'm gonna disappear.

Where to?

What are these flowers?

Don't worry about it. Bye.

Oh, Shoji!

What?

Please, just let me leave.

That hat belongs to the store.

Thank you very much.

That was lame.

Apparently, it's his girlfriend's birthday.

Sachiko's? Oh, so that's what
the flowers were for.

He was saying she's at work now,
but it'll be her birthday at midnight

so he wanted to be the first
to wish her a Happy Birthday.

That kid's got a kind heart.

Well, well. He's being all lovey-dovey
where we can't see him.

Good for him. That's how it should be,
for Sachiko's sake.

Oh, hello.

The main issue is with Nana.
Especially with you lecturing her.

I just hope she's still alive.

She'll be fine! Tomorrow's the day
of her roommate's live concert.

She was really looking forward to that,
so she'll be alive until then.

Besides, I promised her that
we'd drive her there in the evening.

But she might die after that.

Farewell.

Then that'll probably also mean
the end of this series.

And I was so thrilled that I started crying!

It's the first row!

The first row at a Trapnest concert!

I get to see Takumi in person
from that close!

I feel so great I could just die!

Farewell.

But I can't do that.
If I die, I won't see him.

So there's no way I can die until then.

- Thank goodness for that.
- Thank goodness for that.

Hey, if by any chance
Nana can't come along,

you wanna come with me, Jun-chan?

Well... even in the front row,
I'm not particularly a fan of Trapnest.

Why not go? It's just a live concert.

That's no fun.

That's exactly what Nana said.
She says "I'll come if I'm in the mood",

then learning that the concert hall's
far away, says, "that's such a drag."

Far away? Where exactly is it?

At the Idea Hall.

Idea Hall? You mean
that place back home?

Mhm!

What's the? Why didn't you get
tickets to the Tokyo performance?

Because back when I ordered them

I still wasn't sure if I'd
be able to come to Tokyo.

On top of that,
given the popularity of Trapnest,

even fan club members have a hard time
getting tickets for the Tokyo live.

It would be totally sad
if I couldn't get seats.

But I'm assured of getting two seats
together for the live back home.

And I figured I'd see them better than
from seats in Tokyo's bigger concert hall.

I'm not going! It would be such a drag.

How come? You could also
visit your folks,

so you'd be killing two birds
with one stone.

I don't wanna visit my folks! They'd only
put me to work in those rice fields!

Fine, then. I'll ask Nana again.

She may talk in an unfriendly tone,
but inside, she's really kind.

I'm sure she'll agree to come.

You know, I'd think twice
about pressuring her to go.

Why not find a guy who's
a Trapnest fan and go with him?

Yeah.

You'll have a new boyfriend
and you get to go to the concert.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

I don't wanna boyfriend.
I'm through with love.

What are we gonna do?

You take love away from Nana,
and she's got nothing left.

I have Nana, after all.

As long as I'm with Nana,
I won't feel lonely.

Since we're both women, we can
be ourselves in front of each other.

There's no need to be jealous.

We can always be together without
worrying about that kinda stuff.

In comparison, love is tiresome, hurtful,
and never lasts. I've had enough of it.

What I want is not a boyfriend.

I want a knight who will protect me.

But I know very well that,

in the real world,
such a person doesn't exist.

- This is loud!
- This is loud!

No way, it's a full house!

I want to see them from the very front!
We should've come sooner!

What kind of event is this, anyway?!
"Punk Night"?!

They're all punk bands?!

What a dull title.

I think Nana's band is after this one!
I'm gonna force my way to the front!

Hey, Nana, do you want a drink?

I don't want one! It'll only get in the way!

Ow!

Oh, no, I can't get through!

What is this weird vibe?
I can't get into mood.

That singer's not at all cool.

Thanks!

You need to lose a bit of weight, mate.

I guess they're finished.

Nana's next.
This is my chance to get closer.

Hey, wanna stick around
for the next one?

"Black Stones"? Don't know them.

"BLAST" for short? How lame.

How dare you?!

Let's go outside for a smoke.

The main guys have already performed.
Let's go home!

Let's go for a drink.

How come? Wait a minute,
everyone, don't leave yet.

Hey, have you heard?!

The next band is super cool!

What a cute girl.

Yes, I know! BLAST is really cool!

There's a girl who's into it.

Especially the vocalist, Nana!
She's so powerful for a young woman!

Really?
Is the next band a girl band?

Ah, no. The vocalist is a woman,

but the drummer and guitarist
play like pros.

This is their first live in Tokyo

but they were quite famous
back in their hometown.

- Wanna check them out?
- Sure.

These blonde curls are really cute.
Are they fake?

No, they're real.

Who is this girl?

Hey, you know,
I hear the next band is pretty good.

Huh? Really?

Why not stay just for the beginning?

Hey, they're saying that the next band's
really great. Let's hear them play.

They're really great?
In that case, let's hear them.

Are they?

Well, I don't know, but...

If they don't perform well,
this could be embarrassing.

Looks like a lot of the people
have returned.

- Um...
- They're coming!

What am I gonna do?

I'm getting really nervous.

My heart is beating so hard, it could tear.

Hey, look at them.
That band looks really hot.

Yeah, but a band should be credited,
not for its looks, but for its sound.

What's this? The floor is shaking.

Nana!

Good evening. We're BLAST.

Back home, she had
some dedicated fans.

She was like a celebrity.

It was enough just to stand
on my own two feet.

I felt that I was being left behind.

Nana's songs all seemed to
consist of that same message.

I feel my eyes tearing up.

That's exactly how I'm feeling.

Don't leave me behind, Nana.

What a surprise!

You guys are really talented!

The other performances that
came up after you all

looked like those played by children
in a school band.

Sure your sound is great.
But how do I put this.

You guys had this great aura emitting
from you when you took that stage.

Anyway, you were awesome.

Thank you, Mr. Kyosuke, Ms. Junko.

You can drop the "Mr" Nobu.
We're the same age as you, after all.

Really? You are?

You're really mature, so I expected you
to be about the same age as Yasu.

You're the one who acts
like a kid for his age, Nobu.

You're pretty cool as long as
you don't talk.

That's a good call to have you
not talk while on stage.

Um, Miss Komatsu. Do you have plates
we can use to divide this for everyone?

Oh, we don't have enough plates.
Just serve it like that.

- Okay.
- Misato!

What did you make?

Some vinegared dish and salad.

I figured you'd want something light
after the concert.

Far out! You sure are thoughtful, Misato.

Leave the rest to Hachiko.
Come chat with us.

- But...
- It's fine, it's fine.

- There aren't enough seats. Nobu, move.
- Yes.

What about my seat?

Did you come all the way out here
just to see them perform?

- Yes.
- You look so cute in that apron.

Shin, that's my apron!

That's great. You already
have such dedicated fans.

But I'm surprised that you found out
about the live concert.

We got this on a last minute call
to fill in an opening.

Nana called me and told me about it.

Is that so?

I just wanted to inform her.
I never expected her to actually come.

Should I not have come?!

Why would you think that?
I'm happy you came.

Have a seat.

Thank you!

What's with that
"Should I not have come?" nonsense?

That sounds stupid.

Does that girl seriously like Nana?

She was crying a lot at the live.

But they're both women.
That's just weird.

- I never imagined I'd feel any jealousy.
- These blonde curls are really nice.

I may be the weird one.

That's really cute.

Well then, see you. Good night.

Good luck with your band!

Hey Nobu, get up. We're leaving.

No way. I don't feel well.

Nobu really can't take alcohol.

And you're too unaffected by alcohol.

Hey, Nana. Let's let Nobu crash here.

Sure, as you wish.

Well...

I should be going now.

Huh? Where are you going, Misato?

I've booked a room in a hotel
near Tokyo Station.

Really? Then why don't I get
a taxi and take you there?

What a relief. I thought
she was planning on staying here.

Cancel the hotel room. Just stay here.

That's right. You came
all the way here, after all.

No, it's okay. I couldn't.

There's no need to hesitate. Nobu!
It's decided. You go home now.

If you stay here, Misato won't be safe.

That's not fair!

Then I'll stay at Nobu's place tonight.

I can't sleep.

Sure I know Nana's not the type that
would force herself on another woman,

but what if Misato's into that sorta thing?

Maybe they'll get carried away.

Nana was kinda drunk. Her being in
such a good mood is proof she's drunk.

But how do two women do it?

I guess Nana would be on top...

Oh, no! I almost imagined it!
I'd better find myself a boyfriend!

Sexually deprived

Sexually deprived
I need to be touched.
Both mentally and physically.

That's why I'm having these
inexplicable feelings.

I really am in need of a kind man
who will take good care of me.

But it's such a burden going through
the process of finding a boyfriend.

And falling in love is exhausting.

In the first place, I get too involved
when I fall in love.

I'm so involved that I
lose sight of everything.

That's why things don't work out.

It was like that with Mr. Asano too...

I can't picture his face anymore.

And I really liked him.
And with Shoji too.

I don't wanna think about Shoji now.
I don't wanna remember anything.

In the meantime, how am I gonna
spend the day tomorrow?

As long as I have work, I've got
something else to put my mind on.

But I don't work until
the day after tomorrow.

On the other hand, if I think I've
gotta put up with Ms. Sakagami

telling me how useless I am,
I really don't wanna go.

I wanna look for another job
and quit this one right away.

No matter how I think it through,
I'm just not suited for that workplace.

But I wonder, is there such a place
in this world I'm suited for?

I envy Nana.

Good morning! I'm going to
the amusement park with Misato!
I'll bet you're envious!
Ha ha ha!

Why not ask me out?!
I wanna go to the amusement park, too!

Anyway, I'm going out.

I know. I'll go shopping. I'll buy clothes,
and make up, and everything I want.

I'm going on a shopping spree.

But I don't have any money.

I put that 300,000 yen
my mom gave me in a CD deposit.

Hello.

The interest rate isn't that great.

- I shouldn't have done it.
- Um,

- I no longer care about
- if you're looking for that color...

that detached home with a yard!

M-Miss?

Why is the city full of couples
on holidays?

I'm going home.

It's already seven o'clock.

I hardly did anything today.

Yet I'm really hungry.
What should I do about dinner?

Oh, I know. I'll go to Jackson's.

The people there know me,
so I won't be lonely even if I go alone.

But Shoji also hangs out there.

I changed my mind.

I'll go to the supermarket
and buy something to cook.

I've gotta spend less.

Misato's in high school, so she's got
classes from tomorrow.

I'm sure she's on the train
returning home about now.

Then Nana could be back soon.

The ground meat's on sale.
I'll make hamburgers.

Why must I run into her here?
Does she live around here too?

Or maybe she's about to go to
Shoji's place... and cook in that kitchen...

You're home, Hachiko. Where'd you go?

Hello. Great timing.
I just finished preparing dinner.

Look at her. Isn't Misato super cute?

Nana bought this for me.

Wha?

Stop taking them away.

Hachi?

Everyone's taking away
my places of comfort.

Is this girl gonna stay here tonight, too?

This is my home, too!

So don't just do as you please, Nana!

That moment, I was convinced
Nana would be furious.

But she had the expression
of a scolded child.

Every time I think back about it,
it hurts me.

Back then, if I were a bit more mature,

and a bit more understanding
of your weaknesses,

would our future have been different?

I reached into the sky

But I couldn't reach what I wanted

They grew smaller
and disappeared into the sky

Like colorful balloons

I'm alone

My hand had no place to go

And gently you took it

Starless night

I won't look back
at the shadow of my past

I want to feel your warmth

Tears are falling down

Even if I'm unsure I won't let go

Of your hand holding mine
