Nana (2006–2007): Season 1, Episode 19 - Nana's Prize - full transcript

Nana K. may have plotted to bring Nana O. and Ren back together, but that doesn't prepare her for an unexpected mahjong tournament at her apartment, and a chance to meet her idol Takumi from Trapnest!

The next time I fall in love,

I'd prefer a guy who's
a bit coldhearted.

He doesn't hafta listen
to my selfish desires.

However, on the day
after we have a quarrel,

he'll give me a single flower
and a couple words of love.

That kinda guy.

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

I'm so excited I can't sleep.

It seems like such a long time ago
that we went to the Trapnest concert.

! I kept looking at Ren,
and forgot to look at Takumi.

Takumi...

Oh, well. What's done is done.

It's been at least two hours
since Nana left.

But knowing Nana...

One day we'll be better than Trapnest!
Good riddance!

Let me see you try.

I was thinking, what if she bluntly declares
a rivalry and quickly returned home?

But I'm sure things are going well.

I hope things go well.

Since we came into this world
as women,

let's be happy as women, Nana.

Nana!

I have no intention of getting back
together with you!

What are you doing?
These roses must've been expensive.

What's with the stingy comments?
You're Trapnest's guitarist.

Flowers wither after
a little time anyway,

so I'm making good use of them
while they still have value.

Not a story I prefer.

But you won't wither, Ren!

In any case, look at this gorgeous room.

And you each get a room to yourself?

This is what they call
a"Suite Room," right?

Nope. "Deluxe Room."

It's deluxe, all right.
Especially this bath.

It's unnecessarily too big.
I don't feel comfortable.

Being here like this is like
going back in time.

We used to soak in the bathtub
every day like this

and talk about all kinds of stuff.

The bathroom in our room was small
but it was comfortable and I liked it.

Say, Ren, what are we gonna do
about that room?

Nobody's living there, so it's a waste.
You should move out.

It's okay. That was my starting point.

One day, I'll purchase it,
return in my old age,

and quietly live there together
with you.

Don't make decisions for me about
when I get old.

When I was a kid that building
was used for storage.

I would run away from that
shitty orphanage and go hide there.

I found a guitar and made it my own,
and I would play it there all night.

Regardless whether you were born
with talent or not,

anyone could play well after
that much practice.

This is the first time you told me that.

I never told anyone. I wanted people
to think I was gifted.

You don't hafta wash me.
I took a bath just before I came here.

Old habits die hard.
But why are you so embarrassed?

I'm not embarrassed!

Like I've said many times,

I'm no longer on the pill,
so we're not gonna do it in the bath.

I know, I know.

Do you, really?

Ren...

Hm?

That thing you said earlier. Is it true?

Which one?

Right now, I'm not about to
give up my pride

so I can't live with you like we used to.

But it would be nice if we could maybe
meet like this from time to time.

Hold each other and talk
about each other.

And one day when we're much older,

when I no longer care about
pride and recognition,

when I've grown tired of singing...

Then can I return to that home too?

That night I had a dream.

I don't remember what I dreamt,

but in that dream I was wrapped
in feelings of warmth and happiness.

I woke up past noon and
found Nana there sleeping next to me.

I wonder if it would be okay
to ask her.

I'm sure it would be okay.

She did say she'd talk to me about
anything if I ask.

Hey, Nana.

How'd it go with Ren?

I can't answer anything you ask...

Huh? What? I don't understand.

What I said was,

I can't answer anything you ask
while I'm brushing my teeth!

Really, you're not too good
at figuring things out, Hachiko.

Well, I shouldn't expect much.
You're a dog, after all.

Come on, Nana.

Thanks for the meal.

There's more miso soup, so just ask.

Yes.

She never did answer my question.

Liar!

And to think I was rooting
for you so much

that I forgot to look at
Takumi in person.

If I knew what was coming,
I would've only looked at Takumi.

Takumi!

Say, Hachiko...

I trust you,
so I have a favor to ask.

You trust me?

Sure. What can I do for you?

If you do your job well,
I'll give you a treat.

You did take good care of me with
this latest event, after all.

What would you like? Beef jerky?

Takumi's autograph!

Consider it done.

I will ask Ren for it.

All right!

Does a simple autograph
please you that much?

It's not that! You and Ren are
back together, aren't you?!

W-Well, I wouldn't exactly... ah...

So what I'm asking, since
we don't have a phone in our place...

Well, I do plan to buy a cell phone soon.

But in the meantime,
should he need to,

I was hoping Ren could call you
on your cell...

So you want me to take Ren's call
and relay his messages to you, right Nana?

That's right.

I'll gladly do it.

Here's Ren's cell phone e-mail address,
so could you send him your address?

That's great news, Nana.

It's not!

Why not?

Why does it hafta end up like this?
This isn't what I intended.

I went to wrap things up with him.

My intentions were to put
an end to it all.

Why did I get carried away?

That's so lame.

She said that while blushing
and curling up.

I had never seen her look so cute.

Ah... major adrenaline rush...

I want happiness
as soon as possible too.

Or rather, a boyfriend.

Then we'll organize a party.

Not that way. I want a love
that's meant to be.

Oh, but now that you mention it,
a party might be good, too.

What happened over there?

Don't ask me.
I'm on a top secret mission.

Top secret? Finding a boyfriend?

But meeting someone at a party could
also be a love meant to be.

You don't hafta do that.

You've got plenty blooming lately
right in your own garden.

Garden?

Good point. Take the band members
of your roommate's band, for instance.

They seem like great guys for
a punk band.

Isn't there anyone from
the band that you like?

No! For one thing,
Yasu belongs to Nana!

Huh? Yasu?

Those two are an item?

But actually they're not.

Now I'm confused.

Well, you see,
Yasu's really kind to Nana

so I misinterpret their relationship.

Right. But Yasu's like that
to anyone, right?

Like he's reached a higher spirit
like some monk.

He is bald, after all.

That's right.

Yasu's kind to Nobu
and Shin, and to me too.

It's true. Yasu's like that with everyone.

He's like an elder brother to me.

In addition, since Nana doesn't
have a family,

Yasu must be thinking of Nana
as a real younger sister.

He must be feeling the need to
treat her better than a sister.

I see. It's all becoming clearer.

Yasu's a great guy.

- Right?
- Huh?

Listen when someone's talking
to you!

I was saying, it was unexpected that
of the members in Nana's band,

you would quickly bring up Yasu's name.

Oh...

I thought you didn't like guys like that;
with such a scary look.

Mhm. But Yasu's different.

Once you get used to the skinhead,

you accept it as a charming part
of his character.

Also, I basically prefer calm,
composed guys who are older than me.

You know that, right, Jun-chan?

And on that note,
Yasu's very mature.

In addition, he's a lawyer.

That's not part of it.

Take away his looks and his job,
and he's still a great guy inside.

What?! Great guy inside?!

I never imagined the day would come

when I'd hear these words coming out
of your mouth.

Then good. You going for it?

Going where?

Wherever you need to.
Until you burn to ashes.

Junko, don't lead her on.

We're only talking about who
she'd prefer among those guys.

Th-That's right, Jun-chan!

She's blushing, she's blushing.

You seriously like him, by chance?

No way! I've never once thought
about Yasu and me getting together!

That's right.

Nothing can happen between Yasu
and me.

Oh, Nana. You're here.

THUMP!

G-Good evening.

Huh? Where is everyone?
Not here yet?

Nana's here, but she went out
to buy cigarettes.

I see.

What am I gonna do?

With Jun-chan bringing that subject up,
I can't look at him the same way.

And it's just us two here.
What are we gonna talk about?

Yasu. I brought this Trapnest pamphlet.
Wanna take a look?

Yeah, thanks.

Did you hear from either Nana or Ren?

Those two are safely back together.

Really? I'm happy about that.

Mhm. I'm really happy about it.

I was a bit down lately,
but now I'm feeling really good.

Huh? You were a bit down?
But you looked fine.

Was something troubling you?

Ah, no. If you don't wanna talk
about it, that's okay.

My boyfriend cheated on me
and dumped me.

He doesn't realize what he lost.
What an idiot.

But I was the one who said
I no longer wanted Shoji.

The reason I used those foolish words -
he dumped me -

was because I wanted him to
be kind to me like this.

But I no longer want a kind man.

Because it would hurt too much
when he betrays me.

Still, Yasu is very trustworthy.

Should I frequently see him like this,
I might really fall for him.

Everyone's late.

Would it be bad for me to fall
in love with him?

Where did Nana go to get cigarettes?

Should I not?

Why don't I ask?

Say, Yasu, do you have a girlfriend?

Unfortunately, I'm not popular
with the women.

What?! But I like you a lot!

Hey, Yasu!

Ren sent me a reply to my email.

He has a break in his tour schedule
on the seventh and eighth of next month,

so he'll be returning here then.

He says if those days are fine with us,
we'll have a mahjongg tournament then.

Is that so?

What's that?! I wanna join you!

Huh? You know how to
play mahjongg, Hachi?

I don't, but!

Good grief.

I wanna meet Ren too!

What? But Hachiko,
I thought you were into Takumi.

You cheater!

Don't call me Hachiko.

Shin's so not cute lately.

Where's Nana?

Oh. She's gone to Alaska
to buy cigarettes.

Alaska?!

Oh, is that Trapnest's pamphlet?
Let me see it.

Sure. Hachi brought it.

Oh, I wanna see it too.

Hachi? Even Yasu's calling me
that now.

Taking a close look like this,
Reira really is pretty.

Oh? Is she your type, Nobu?

I'm not sure about type,
but she's great.

Then next time let me introduce you
to a flight attendant who looks just like her.

Huh? A flight attendant?
Awesome!

She's also really great at...

- Shin!
- Don't want her!

I'm not gonna become your brother!

Brother?

Oh, hi Nana! You're awfully late.

Shin! How old are you?

Stop smoking, you brat.
Stop trying to act cool.

What's gotten into you all
of a sudden, Nana?

You were letting him until now.

She's scaring me! Save me, Hachi.

Yasu!

Yes, I get it. No smoking, right?
I'll comply.

No smoking?! Why?!

To increase my lung capacity.

Where you that impressed
by Reira's voice?

That **** has nothing to do with it!
I'll kill you baldie!

Since that evening, Nana even
began doing sit-ups.

So I decided to workout with her.

Why are you doing sit-ups too?

I wanna have a slim waist for
when I find a boyfriend.

I see. Then, good luck with your efforts.

I wonder if Yasu will notice me
if I work hard at it.

Maybe not. I somehow can't picture
Yasu falling in love with me.

Nana-chin, make copies of this.

I don't think he sees me as a woman.

I get that same scent as that
of Mr. Mizukoshi.

My chances are slim.
Maybe I should give up.

I'm no longer at that age where I can
be satisfied with one-sided love.

Let's look elsewhere, Nana-chin.
Perhaps a party is the way to go.

Oh, somebody, hold me tight.

An e-mail.

REN
A MESSAGE FOR NANA

It's come!

An email from Ren!

Trapnest's Ren has sent
an email to my cell phone!

I cannot believe something like
this is happening to a commoner like me!

It's not addressed to me,
but can I read it?

Even if I shouldn't,
I wanna read it.

I'll read it!

A message for Nana
Apparently we're playing
at Nobu's place on the night of the 7th.
I'm free during the day,
so can I come by your place?

Yes, please come, darling.

That's the reply I gave.
Where's my treat?

Don't reply on my behalf!
You're not getting a treat.

I want Takumi's autograph!
Nana, you liar!

Listen. If Ren's dropping by
your place,

why not have
the mahjongg tournament there?

My place is too small for
a large number of people.

I agree!

That's fine, but we don't have
a mahjongg table.

I don't either.
Just put a cloth over the table.

The table by the window?
But if we play sitting beside each other,

it won't be much of a match
with everything visible to others.

We'll move the table, and sit around it.

- Don't smoke!
- Oops!

I can't wait!

MAHJONGG TOURNAMENT

MAHJONGG TOURNAMENT
The seventh can't come soon enough.

Trapnest's Ren is coming to our place.
Should I ask for his autograph?

If possible, we could have
a picture taken together?

What should I wear?

Should I buy that dress I wanted?

I should make an appointment
with the hairdresser too.

And I'll prepare a bunch of food.

What should I make?

I should start preparing
the night before.

I'll get up early to clean up,

and go to the flower shop
so I can decorate the place with flowers...

Chief, I'm expecting
an important guest tomorrow.

May I take the day off from work?

Of course not!

Thirty minutes before I get off work.

It's about time people start arriving.

Oh, I wanna hurry back home
and see Ren.

That's right. I should buy some paper
for autograph paper on my way home.

Please fire that girl, Chief!

Nana-chin, make copies of this. Huh?

Miss Komatsu has left for the day.

She left early?

We should fire her!

I guess you're right.

You know, you're really strong.

Could you be a little easier on me?

But I am.

Shin, you're being obnoxious.

I said, don't smoke!

But Ren's smoking.
So, it's okay for your own man to smoke.

You're a typical woman after all, Nana.

Don't you know there is a law that
says it's illegal for minors to smoke?!

But you had been smoking
ever since you were a minor.

So what's this about no smoking now?

Those around you are bothered by it.

I don't think it makes any difference.
There are many vocalists who smoke.

What you should do instead is
take some singing lessons?

Shut up! I don't need you
giving me advice!

Oh, could that be Hachi?

It could be Hachi.

Off you go.

Hey, it's not Hachi. It's Nana.

You're right.

How should I greet him?

"Pleased to meet you, I'm Nana."

No. "I'm Komatsu."

"I've been a big fan since
Trapnest's debut!"

Welcome home, Nana.

Say, Nana...

I made her cry.
What should I do?

That time, the reason my tears
suddenly came flowing out

was because I knew right away

that the dreamlike incident was
a treat you had arranged for me, Nana.

I felt more love than being thanked
a million times.

And that made me really happy.

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
