Nana (2006–2007): Season 1, Episode 20 - Sudden Development! Hachi's Fate - full transcript

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

Oh, there's much more to it
than being in full bloom.

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

Tsumo!

Six thousand all.

No way. Come on, give me a break.



Wow, this guy's really strong.
Though his attitude sucks.

Shit. At least no one can
beat me in Shichi Narabe.

- Shichi Narabe?
- It's popular now.

Among our band members, that is.

Every night during the tour
we play Shichi Narabe.

It's Naoki's fault for bringing
a pack of cards along.

This isn't some school field trip.

Shichi Narabe?

The Trapnest members play
this game every night?

I'm beginning to think that
Shichi Narabe is a really cool game.

And a game Ren's excited about,
saying he won't lose to anyone.

Is it fun? That Shichi Narabe?

Huh? You don't know it?

How can you live life without running
into Shichi Narabe at some point?

I'd like to know too, Shin.

So do I.

Teach me how to play Shichi Narabe.
I'm getting tired of Mahjongg.

Forget it! I've had enough
of Shichi Narabe!

Hey Shin, what sorta life experience

have you had to be able to easily
mingle with any group of people?

He's already talking casually with them.
He's really something.

Shin, if you're tired of Mahjongg,
switch with me.

I'll switch with you.
Where's the toilet?

Over there.

So even Takumi goes to the toilet!
I'm surprised by the most trivial things.

Oh, no.
There's something wrong with me.

In person, Ren and Takumi were a lot
different from what I had imagined.

Trapnest hardly appears on TV,

so I could only judge them
from their songs and looks.

I had assumed them to be
a lot more laid back and cool.

Especially Takumi.
He's the band leader

and he's so serious
and composed in interviews.

How can I put it...
I had created this character

who was calm and composed
based on what I assumed of him.

But he's more like
a friendly older brother.

These tomatoes are really delicious.

Where did you get them from?

J-Jun-chan's... ah, my friend's family
grows them. She gave them to me.

Oh? That's nice.

Tomatoes. Takumi likes tomatoes.

Would you like to take some with you?
There's lots more.

Hmm...

I'd love to but I can't. We're back on tour
starting the day after tomorrow.

Oh yeah. The tour.

That live concert was really great.

I'm rooting for you.
I wish you the best of luck.

So cool! He really is
so totally cool in person.

What can I do? I can't take this.
My body's frozen.

- It must be Yasu.
- He's finally here.

- What took him?
- Hachiko, get the door.

I'll go.

Yasu, long time no see.
How've you been?

Takumi, what are you doing here?

Classmates?

Yeah, we went to
the same junior high school.

Although we really weren't that close.
I didn't even wanna get close to him.

- What?
- I never knew that either.

You'd always do stuff
that raised the question,

"As a human being,
should you be doing that?"

It's amazing you never
got sent to juvenile prison.

Unlike you, I'm a delicate person.

Things were hard for me
during my childhood.

Then we went to different high schools
and started our own bands.

We'd meet at band competitions,

and it's only after that,
that we became friends.

It's a small town, after all.
Not only at concerts,

but we'd even bump into each other
at music studios.

Around then I used to frequent
live performances,

but I'd say Trapnest left
the strongest impression!

I was especially impressed with
the superb female singer!

- Just the singer?
- No!

The instrumentals too, of course.

Watch out, Nobu.
Takumi can become violent.

So Nobu's a big fan of Reira.

Oh, really? Then should I
ask Reira to come?

Huh?!

I'll give her a call.

N-No, but I'll get
really nervous around her.

Besides, she doesn't know
how to play mahjongg.

Don't call her.

Who cares if she doesn't play mahjongg?
I'd love to meet Reira.

Me too.

What about you, Yasu?
Can we invite Reira?

It's fine with me, but I wonder
if she'd wanna come.

Then I won't tell her that you're here.

Hey!

Wait a minute. What?
What was that all about?

Was there something going on
between you and Reira, Yasu?

No, nothing. Don't worry about it.

- You don't know.
- I don't. What is it?

She won't pick up.
Tough luck, right, Yasu?

These tomatoes are really delicious.

Don't change the subject!

What's the big deal?
It's all in the past now.

Yasu used to go out with Reira.

Wow! I don't believe this!

Yasu and Ren, you've both
been hiding so much!

Once again, I feel totally left out.

Not intentionally. We just don't talk
about everything that goes on.

You should!

But I went out with her way back when
Ren and I were in our old band.

We broke up before
I even met you guys.

There's no reason for me to tell you.

You really had
a tough time with Reira.

Not something you'd
wanna talk about.

What do you mean "a tough time"?
Stop adding to the truth.

But she always had her way with you.

That's just in her nature.

I guess so.

You mean it's in Reira's nature
to have her way with guys?

Well, yeah.

But back then she was
still in high school.

She was really cute
and I also had my eyes on her,

only to have her snatched away
by Yasu. That was tough to accept.

Oh?

How long were you going out?

Let's not talk about this anymore.
It was for a short while.

But it did last about a year, didn't it?

- That long?
- No, about two years.

That's not a short while at all!

Why did you break up?

I'm not good at defending myself.
Can we stop now?

Why am I feeling so gloomy now?

I was so thrilled when I heard Ren
was Nana's ex-boyfriend.

But it's a big shock to hear
about Yasu and Reira.

It may have been a long time ago,

but the fact he dated such a pretty,
talented girl.

Naturally, I'm not within his sights.
There's no comparison.

We live in different worlds.

Suddenly, Yasu seems so distant.

But come to think of it,
everyone here lives in

a different world than me,
a commoner.

They're only being friendly with me
because I'm Nana's roommate.

It's your turn, Hachi.

What's the matter?
You're spacing out.

Sorry!

Playing cards is boring, isn't it?
It's a game for kids.

You're the one who said
you wanted to play?!

Hachiko!

Beer. Didn't we have more?

I put all the beer we got in the fridge.
Are we out already?

We're out of wine too.

Did you drink all of that yourself?!

Good grief.

Nobu, go buy some more.

Beer, wine, sake and shochu.

Why me? I haven't been drinking.

Green Tea
Why me? I haven't been drinking.

Green Tea
Who do you suggest go, then?

Who do you suggest go, then?

Get some cigarettes too, okay?

Shit. Maybe I'll start drinking again.

Wait, Nobu. I'll go too.

That's gonna be too much
for one person to carry.

Yasu really surprised me.

You know, I was totally shocked.

Oh, right. You like Reira too, right?
She's really pretty.

Huh? No, it's not that.

I was shocked because
he was keeping it all a secret.

Sure, Reira has a great voice
and she's very pretty,

but I'm not that big of a fan.

To me, she's simply a celebrity.

Is she? But once BLAST goes pro,
you'll be a celebrity too, Nobu.

- You're just waiting for your turn.
- Huh?

What do you mean "Huh"?

It's been your dream to go pro, right?

Well that's true, but...

being called a celebrity
just doesn't ring a bell with me.

I'd love to be recognized
for my guitar skills

and eventually
make a living with it, but...

I see. You're in this because
you genuinely like to play the guitar.

It's not as if you're doing this
because you wanna become famous.

That's so cool.

A lot different from my perspective.
I'm so into the celebrity hype.

Well, but if I do end up becoming
famous as a result, I'll welcome it.

I'll welcome it too.

Moreover, when I think of this
as a BLAST member,

there's this energy within me that says

"Just watch me,
I'm gonna make it big."

The fact that Nana and Ren
are back together

has added fuel to Nana's feelings
to catch up with Ren.

And Shin began playing bass
because he admires Ren.

And me too. Ren has
been a target for a long time.

And even Yasu.
He was so insistent not to go pro,

but now he's teamed up with us
in this battle.

Bottom line, we hafta make it big.

We'll defeat Trapnest.

But you know, the fact that
Reira and Yasu used to be a couple

gives you an added sense that
this is a fateful battle

between Trapnest and BLAST.

A fateful battle?
You may be right.

But we haven't even
entered the ring yet.

I wonder why they broke up.

This is only speculation,
but perhaps it's because

Reira left for Tokyo with the other
Trapnest members to go pro.

Back then, Yasu was studying hard
locally to become a lawyer

and only saw the band as a hobby.

So those two had different objectives.

Maybe they had their own ideas
about the future.

But you know,

if your speculation on the reason
Yasu and Reira broke up is correct,

then they could very well
get back together if they met,

like Nana and Ren.

No, I'm not sure about that.

I think what happened between
Nana and Ren is unique.

Unique?

Unique as in special.

Still loving one another after not
hearing from each other for two years

is not something most couples can do.

It's only natural for people's feelings
to change as time goes by.

Besides, I think finding
that someone who you can

feel so strongly connected to
is rare enough.

So you're saying
Nana's met her fateful partner?

- Oh, I love such stories.
- I knew it.

To be honest, I love them too.
Being a romantic guy and all.

You're a romantic guy, Nobu?

Is that something to laugh about?

I hope I can also have
such an encounter someday...

with that kinda partner.

But I'd be satisfied with a happiness
closer to home.

Like with Aki
from the convenience store.

Who's that?

Could Aki from the convenience store
be the cashier just now?

No. She's an imaginative character
whom I feel close to.

Like Miyo from the tobacco store.

So a virtual Aki and Miyo?
He's the fantasy type, just like me.

This is the first time I've talked about
stuff like this alone with Nobu.

We think alike.
We might just get along well.

Oh, you shouldn't, Nobu.
Didn't you say you quit drinking?

Nothing good comes
outta drinking, right?

But nothing good happens
even if I don't drink.

My parents have disowned me,
I get sent out to buy the booze,

I'm weak at mahjongg and I'm short.

I'm not feeling so down anymore.

If I had a boyfriend like Nobu,

I'm sure every day
would be so much fun.

But am I thinking about him
because Yasu is out of my reach?

What's the deal with that?
I keep going after different men.

But it's not like just anyone will do.

Like Jun-chan said,
my surroundings are too bountiful.

I'll ask him.

Say, Nobu, don't you
have a girlfriend?

I don't.

Presently recruiting
"within-reach characters".

Super within-reach character

Super within-reach character
I might apply.

Super within-reach character

What?! Takumi went home?!

Mhm. He got a call on his cell.

He said it was urgent.
A woman issue, maybe?

Yeah, knowing him I'm sure
it's a woman issue.

He has no morals.

You're one to talk.

Come on! Why didn't you keep him
here until I returned? Nana, you idiot!

Give up on Takumi, Hachiko.
He seems to be quite the player.

I don't care about that!

You don't care if he's like that.
Then go ahead, do as you please.

That's not what I mean! I wanted
his autograph before he left!

So we're talking at that level.

Don't cry, Hachiko.
I'll get you Takumi's autograph.

Hachiko?

I'm starting to think the nickname
Hachi is actually really cute.

May I have an autograph?!

Autograph Paper
May I have an autograph?!

Autograph Paper

Autograph Paper
I think she likes me.

Autograph Paper
Will just anyone do?

There were many ups and downs,
but overall this day was special.

Now that Takumi's gone
Hachi's back to her usual self.

She must've been nervous.

- I was too.
- Liar.

That day, the only thing
Takumi and I really talked about

was Jun-chan's tomatoes.

Still I had a full serving of happiness.

But why is it that there is no limit
to the desires of human beings?

Who could it be? What a pest.
Let me sleep a bit more.

Shin! Wh-What are you doing in my bed?!

It's so comfortable.

Did you do something?!

No way. Because you
won't give me money.

Shin, that's prostitution.

What should I do? He really is
sleeping with women for money.

I knew it but... how can I say it...

He is a young man of that certain age,

and he's handsome so naturally
he'd be popular among the women.

I thought it was just
the process of him growing up.

But for him to say he's not interested
unless he gets paid for it?

Is it really okay not to
do anything about it?

There's only Nobu here.

What about Yasu?
Has he gone home?

But it looks like someone tidied up.
Did Yasu clean up?

He's such a great guy.

What about Nana and Ren?

Do not disturb!

The phone.

Oh, hello, Nana? Thank goodness.
I called a number of times

but you wouldn't answer
so I was getting concerned.

You had so much to drink

so I feared you wouldn't be able to
get up on your own.

I've been calling you
since this morning.

Were you able to get up okay?

Mhm. Thanks. I just got up now.

Well, you do work
for a publishing firm,

so I guess it's not a big deal
if you start work in the afternoon.

It's not okay!!

Do you have hay fever?

Oh, you have a cold.
Are you feeling all right?

You didn't hafta come
if you're not feeling well.

Or in fact, you don't
hafta come back anymore.

Ms. Sakagami!

The Chief says I'm fired!

- Naturally.
- Huh?

No way. Ms. Sakagami.
Although you were hard on me,

I thought you were the kinda person
who would stand up for me in the end.

Do you think the world exists for you?!

It's a result of how spoiled
you've been acting. Farewell.

If I get thirsty, I can simply
buy a can of coffee for 120 yen.

However, I like having my coffee
in a cute café.

I wanna live in a fancy room.

Wear clothes that are in style.
See the popular movies.

Buy the latest cell phone.
Get a driver's license.

Travel overseas.

So I need to find a job.
I need to work hard.

If I think I'm doing it for all that,
working can be fun.

But is it still not enough?

No matter how many things
I can think of that I want,

I can't even find the strength
to get up from here.

Just one thing would do.
If only I had that something

that I could willingly devote
all of my energy to.

Unidentified Caller

- Yes?
- Nana?

It's me, Takumi.

Do you have a moment to talk?

Sure.

Sorry about yesterday.

You went through all that preparation,
yet I left without thanking you.

I wanted to thank you properly
so I got your number from Ren.

Thank you for coming. Sorry I couldn't
prepare you something nicer.

You're quite the chef.

The food was delicious. Thank you.

Are you still at work?
Sorry to bother you while you're busy.

No, it's okay. I was wandering around
without anything to do anyway.

Wandering around?
Where are you now?

Omotesando.

Huh? Seriously?

I'm in Omotesando too.
I'm stuck in traffic.

No way.

Where about?

I'm driving towards Harajuku, .,
well I'm not moving at the moment.

Towards Harajuku?
That's the opposite lane.

The traffic is at a standstill.
I'm stopped in front of Gucci.

Which kinda car?

A black Gelandewagen.

A gelen... what?
I don't know it. What's it like?

A Mercedes Benz, 4WD.

It's a big car, so it should be
easy to spot.

I got it! There it is!

Come over.

That was the beginning of summer
when I was twenty.

Let's take a side road
and go somewhere. Are you hungry?

The only way I could fill the emptiness
inside me was to fall in love.

Hachiko is late.

I guess we can eat first.

She may be doing us a favor.

Since you put that
"do not disturb" sign up.

That Hachiko really is a loyal dog
who knows what to do.

Unlike those two stray dogs there.

You got that right.

I wonder how long
they plan on staying.

Back then, Nana, everything about
the world surrounding you

seemed so bright and shiny.

It's not like just anyone will do.

I wanted to be bathed
in the same light.

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
