Seigi no mikata (2008–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
"Once upon a time there was a place with two beautiful sisters."
"The older sister especially was extremely beautiful and smart,
so that the younger sister thought,
it can't be anyone other than her older sister who's turning the world."
"Judging from her appearance alone, you wouldn't be able to imagine what kind of evil character she has."
Delicious!
Osomatsusama-deshita.
(It's been a pleasure.)
"One day, one evil,
in other words it was her motto to do at least one evil thing a day."
What if it's a virus?
"However, somehow her evil deeds always bring the people happiness
and before she knew, she was called the ally of justice."
"And for the love of the older sister,
the younger sister went on a mission to turn it into marriage.."
What are you doing?
Please treat her well.
"The love happily ripened."
"Eagerly waiting for the day
when the older sister would marry and leave the house,
the younger sister prayed that her
true character wouldn't leak out to her lover Naoki-san
and that she won't ever
have to be the target of her older sister again."
[Sisters Cruelty Tale]
Nakata Youko?
Take your hands off my boyfriend!
Boyfriend?
Riku is my boyfriend!
Why are such stupid things happening to me..
Youko!? Can you answer the door?
Please, I have my hands full.
Yes~
A delivery for Nakata Youko.
Yes
Please sign here.
Okay
Thank you very much.
"West Gate Wrestling Federation?"
Youko, what did he want?
Nothing!
Just some door-to-door salesman.
"Nakata Youko-sama"
"Thank you very much for joining the fan club of Choushu Koriki."
I knew it..
She used my name again..
Horita-san, please copy this.
- Yes, got it.
The material for the minister's answers.
It seems that the question list of the opposition party appeared.
There's only one week until the session of the National Diet!
How are the forms of the bill?
There are no problems, please leave it to me.
The minister wants this bill to be passed in this diet session by all means.
Everyone, do your best!
- Yes
Don't tell me.. you're leaving?
Why?
The National Diet is beginning soon.
Nobody inside this department is even going to have lunch in order to prepare the forms.
You are in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication..
They are done.
The Ministry of Justice's..
Finished.
Your work..
- I finished everything.
This isn't the problem.
Then what's the problem?
Everyone is doing their best to face the hardships
and you're at ease when we're in a situation like this?
Are you saying that because everyone's drowning in bog, I should drown with them as well?
Bog?
That's right.
Ending up with overtime only because you adapted to the situation, even though you finished your work,
overtime that would need heavy taxation by the citizens in order to be paid.
Who's adapting to who?
Calm down Yamashita-kun!
Nakata-kun finished her work,
so shouldn't it be fine?
Manager?
Nakata-san saved your life and so you're going to be easy on her?
T-That's not how it is!
She's not really bothering anyone, so she should be able to leave at regular time.
If you say such a thing, then..
- I have to leave now!
Excuse me.
Nakata-san!
Dad, what's that?
A Blu-ray DVD recorder
It has four times the capacity of the current one.
You'll thank me for getting such a thing.
Thanks
So, let's eat.
Youko, bring it over.
Yes
It's less than usual.
Because Oneechan isn't here.
I'm grateful, because you both eat anything I make with pleasure.
Because everything you make is delicious.
Itadakimasu~
Delicious~
Really..
Why isn't Makiko here anyway?
She has a date!
With a man?
You didn't know?
She got a new boyfriend.
Because of that she's been late recently, hasn't she?
Today is her favorite, Italian.
She's been enthusiastic about since morning.
Did you know?
The New York Philharmonic will be playing here.
Lorin Maazel is the director, right?
That's right.
If I remember correctly, then the soloist is..
Shouji Sayaka.
Ah right. She's great, isn't she?
The pride of the Japanese.
Yes
Delicious~
It is indeed.
So, what kind of guy is that man?
His name is Yoshikawa-san,
[Basic knowledge of classic]
he's working in the international department in the the same ministry as Makiko,
a good-looking elite graduated from The University of Tokyo.
His hobbies are listening to classical music and kayaking.
He dedicates his life to creating a better world for the children to live in.
Yoshikawa Naoki, 28 years old,
the eldest son of the Yoshikawa family, born and raised in Yokohama.
I'm thinking about when the civil war in Lebanon continues,
if there's anything I can do for the children that lost their parents..
Right now, he lives in a large apartment and has no debts.
Both of his parents are in good health,
his father works in the municipal office
and his mother is a housewife.
Usually, it's a demerit being the eldest son,
but since he has a younger brother, the possibility of her being burdened all alone with nursing is low.
Isn't that great~
You thoroughly examined him, huh..
"The first step to victory is knowing your enemy."
I heard that from Oneechan.
That's right.
The great thing about kayaking is that the water surface and your eyes are on the same level.
You can hear the conversation between the wind and the water..
All there is, is the sound of the rowing oar and the roar of the waves..
Forgive me, I'm talking too much..
No, I'm enjoying it.
Really?
Yeah
Well, I easily get carried away when talking about kayaking,
many are charmed by it, but..
to have someone who'd properly listen to it..
Speaking about hobbies, my mother likes to do tea ceremonies.
Do you do things like tea ceremonies?
You can't really call it a hobby, I guess.
I see..
It's part of your life.
Tea ceremonies, flowers and dressing in kimonos,
aren't those common sense for Japanese people?
That's what you meant.
Yes
There, there..
Ah~ so great~
I got home just now.
- Welcome home.
It says to knock, doesn't it?
It arrived?
So it really was you..
Why did you use my name to get into that fan club?
And in addition to that Koriki's..
It would be unwise, if this got leaked out.
I can't just simply put myself into the fan club.
It would be bothersome, if it got leaked out to Yoshikawa-san.
What does this have to do with him?
He thinks my hobbies are classical music and tea ceremonies.
"Ever since the remote past, the older sister has been crazy about strange things
and immersed herself into her hobbies."
"During one summer at our grandma's house in the country.."
Youko!
Yes
"She became interested in snake molting
and made her sister search for snake molting during the whole summer."
You're still collecting such things..
A girl shouldn't collect stuff like that!
"When she got into horror movies,
she made her younger sister watch them with her after their parents fell asleep,
because it would have been too scary for her to watch alone."
Now, Choushu Koriki..
In the decisive battle of Nagoya, Choushu Koriki is finally going into the ring, ring, ring..
He got into the ring!!
"The beginning of the older sister becoming enthusiastic about a hobby
is also the beginning of days without sleep for the younger sister."

Thanks to jdrama.cc for the Japanese script.
Also check out Nawidy's hardsubs for this drama.
It's hard to make the "so" and "ra"..
- Yeah, they simply won't come out..
The rhythm of that note is also difficult.
Exactly, it's too high.
- Way too high!
Hey Kumako!
How are you?
The usual..
What happened?
Okamoto Riku finally happens to talk to you..
What a waste~
I don't want to get involved into
troublesome things in my free time.
Troublesome things?
Yesterday, his girlfriend slapped me in the face.
- Eh?!
Okamoto Riku has a girlfriend..
It's a girl from our school.
I don't get what she meant by
"take your hands off", though..
- Are you serious?
Doesn't that mean that it's becoming serious between you two?
I see.
That's it! Snatch him away!
I have enough fighting scenes already..
Fighting scenes?
Those words..
don't really suit you, though.
The fighting scenes she's gotten into
aren't of such a half-hearted nature.
Shut up Janbo..
Are you coming over today?
Yes, sure.
Then at 4.
Okay, I'll go immediately.
[Oneechan]
Hel..
Koriki will appear on TV at 4, record it.
I'm not an answering machine..
What?!
How am I supposed to make it in time?
Where are you going Youko?
Wait!
Any unnecessary TVs, Stereos or CD-Players you have at home..
- It's already 4!
Any unnecessary TVs, Stereos or CD-Players you have at home..
Welcome home.
Where's the recorder Mom?
What's wrong?
You didn't even say "I'm home"..
Why is there no recorder?
We got a new one, so I gave it to the garbage collectors.
It's not connected!?
Yup, it isn't.
Why didn't Dad connect it?
When should he have done this?
What should I do.. If I don't hurry..
Here's his chance, his chance.. aww..
Watching this as a girl..!
Come on..
Why did he have to do such an unnecessary thing!?
Nakata-san
Please finish these by today.
Hey, isn't that bullying?
She wants her to do overtime by all means.
Amazing..
Pardon me for leaving first.
- Good-bye.
This is the last one!
I'm home.
Welcome home!
Where's Youko?
She was there just now..
That bastard..
Mama, what are we having for dinner tonight?
Cold shabu and tuna sashimi.
(thinly sliced meat and sliced raw tuna)
You still have the things for a tea ceremony, right?
I do, why?
Can't you teach me?
My, even though you had problems sitting correctly and immediately wanted to stop?
Youko!
You had a quarrel with Makiko again?
No, it's just one side that got angry.
I mean, if you properly connected the recorder,
then none of this would have happened.
It says that you quarrel when you are on good terms, doesn't it?
I really don't know about that.
Speaking of which, you and mom never have any quarrels.
There's no reason for that..
After all, I made a pledge to bring her happiness.
Because it was a miracle that Mom married you, right?
That's right.
It was 25 years ago.
Ah.. I turned the switch..
When your Dad was still a college student.
Mom was the daughter of the president of the publisher you worked for part-time.
It was love at first sight~
There was no reason for her to look at somebody like me..
Because there were many rivals.
My opponents were lawyers, doctors and..
- company presidents.
Her and I were completely different.
Hobbies, interests and even the food we liked.
Mom liked..
horse riding, yachts and things that are good for your health, while I..
was a nerd who enjoyed watching trains.
Also the food, while my favorite dish was natto,
she couldn't stand its flavor at all.
Then one day..
I vowed never to eat natto again.
Impossible~
No, it was fine even though it was impossible.
The happiest thing for me was seeing her smiling face,
so it wasn't impossible!
Because of love!
When there's love, you can overcome even the biggest differences
in social status, hobbies and the food you like.
Exactly!
Love saves the world!
Are you okay?
Eh?
Those are mine.
Please listen,
I wanted to record it, but the new
recorder Dad got wasn't connected..
Forgive me!
Kumako
This..
"As special favor for members of the fan club
50 members chosen by a lottery will get a limited DVD of Choushu Koriki."
What's this?
You absolutely have to get a hit.
Why me?
You should be able to get a hit with this.
The effort of a person will be rewarded.
If that's so, then why don't you do it?
The right person in the right place.
What's that?
I have a lot to do with my
counter-measurements for Yoshikawa.
I sitll don't get it, why do I have to do it?
Good night.
I can't go to bed any later than 11 or my skin won't refresh.
If that's so then don't watch videos until midnight!
Even getting me involved.
If you fail this time, I'll kill you.
[I wish to get Koriki-san's DVD]
[Evil people sleep well]
My member number is 3442.
Yes, I'm Nakata Youko.
I applied for the limited DVD present
and thought that the results should be out already..
Eh?
I didn't make it?
I understand. Yes..
Where is it?
There, it's there!
But I can't pick it up..
I'll be killed!
What should I do? Geez..
You got dirty.
No way!
What have you been doing?
I dropped my key chain..
I got it.
Koriki
It's not what you think!
That's not my hobby!
I should probably tell you why I have such a thing..
Well, it's a long story though..
Isn't that great? I like him a lot too.
Our hobbies match.
They don't! It's my sister's hobby.
That devilish sister you want to get married?
It's the worst..
I didn't get drawn for the Koriki limited DVD.
I'm as good as dead.
You really are interesting.
I'm not..
Good-bye.
Hold on!
Hello, Dad?
Isn't Kondo-san Koriki's manager?
I have a little something to ask of you..
Yeah
I got it.
You..
are acquainted with Koriki's manager?
It's because my dad works for a TV station.
Seriously?
Let's go.
Where to? Where?
Hey!
Wipe your face first.
My face?
Wait a minute, Okamoto Riku!
Hey
Weren't you going out with Riku?
Hurry.
Excuse me, Kondo-san.
I would really like to help your girlfriend, but..
She's not my girlfriend!
That's right, I'm not.
You even went through the trouble to get here,
but we don't have any DVDs left.
My sister wants it at all costs!
She's.. beautiful
and smart on top of that!
Nakata Makiko is famous in the ministry and has a promising future for her career.
Can't something be done?
She sure is gorgeous..
Look.
That's really your older sister?
Somehow..
I'm begging you!
Well, I could look to see if we have one left, but don't get your hopes up.
I'll call you when there's another live event.
Yes, Kondo here.
Ah, hello!
Was it really good?
[Going Kayaking]
That's the kind of movie I like.
It was fun.
Really?
Yeah
That's right..
Would it be okay to invite you to a tea party sometime?
Tea party?
Yeah
When I told my mom that you also like tea ceremonies, she told me to invite you.
Your mother?
My father also would like to meet you on that occasion.
I'd be happy, if you asked me!
Makiko will be late again today?
She went to see a movie with Yoshikawa-san.
A documentary about kayaking.
Makiko?!
That girl hates documentaries.
She took a lot of gum with her so she wouldn't fall asleep.
Is Makiko really trying to get with that man?
It's the first time, isn't it?
And it's even unusual for it to last that long.
Until now, she never made it to even a 3rd date,
but this time..
The 8th!
That many?
She always returned from her dates like "He had bad breath!",
"How can you wear white socks with that suit?" or similar complaints,
but this time around she didn't say anything.
He must be a great man.
"Usually, her love life repeatedly switches between becoming hot and cooling down,
but this time something was different."
Then.. you gently have to take the natsume.
(wooden tea caddy, resembles a natsume/jujube fruit)
Yes
Good morning~
Why do I even have to take part in this?
She said that the atmosphere wouldn't be right without a few guests.
"The older sister's tenacity can be amazing
when she sets her mind to something."
"To get what she wants,
[Book about Tea Ceremony; Sea-Kayak Manual]
she would take any means necessary without sparing efforts."
"Such concentration and attachment are imperceptible for an ordinary person."
"As strict as she may be towards her sister or other people,
the person she's the strictest to is herself."
Kumako
Yes
"That's her belief
and her policy."
"While looking at her older sister like that,
'I can't win against her.'
and 'I can't be like her.'
went through the younger sister's mind."
"And then she understood it."
"Her sister is serious."
"Unlike her former relationships,
she seriously plans to plunder Yoshikawa-san's whole life."
"So to speak..
she was like a lion in front of its prey,
serious and with incredibly high dignity."
"And the only time during her every day stress,
the time when she was able to release her mind,
was when she was able to laugh while watching Koriki."
Hello
Kondo-san?
The DVD?
You found one!?
Thank you very much!
Eh? At the ministry?
Wait a minute! At her workplace would be bad..
Eh? You sent it?
I understand.
Yes
Yes..
Good morning.
- Good morning.
[Kumako]
What?
Oneechan, don't get angry.
Please don't get angry and listen.
Hurry and say it!
Koriki's manager..
sent the DVD to the ministry!
What did you just say?!
Do you know what kind of situation I will be in when this arrives at my workplace?
Worst of all..
What if it leaks out to Yoshikawa-san?
Take responsibility!
My whole life is in danger!
Going that far..
Do something.
You heard me.
You and Riku went to the TV station together, right?
Eh?
His dad told me when I went to his house yesterday.
We had something to do there..
Didn't I tell you to take your hands off Riku?
It's not like that!
Don't lie!
Riku is a shy one.
He never spoke to any girl other than me!
Sorry, but I don't have time for this now..
If I don't go now..
This is a serious matter!
I'm really sorry!
Right now, Koriki's DVD is about to blow a fuse!
Koriki?
Are you saying that a DVD of Choushu Koriki is more important?
No, it's more like a super crisis!
Don't make fun of me!
Why did this happen?
How about each year?
I see..
maybe half a year would be even better..
Yeah, then where's the list with those who are experienced with science?
About that..
- Ah, I already finished it.
Really?
Yes
Now that would be very helpful..
Here..
[Post Office]
Eh? It might have left already?
Thanks.
Ah! Hey, Miss!
The other side, the other!
Okay
Excuse me!
Please wait!!
Wait!!
It left?
I don't know how soon the mail will arrive here.
I'll have to stay at my desk the whole time!
Even if you say that..
It's your fault that I can't even have my lunch nor go to the bathroom.
I'll never..
forget this resentment.
Remember that.
I-I'm sorry!
That's.. Para-Para.
(Japanese solo dance)
It's my way to relieve stress.
Isn't that stupid?
How rare..
You're giving up your lunch break to work..
What are you scheming?
I'm not scheming anything.
We have an immense amount of work so I just want to help..
Oh really?
Yeah
Everyone!
The wife of the section manager sent some crab sushi to the international department.
Feel free to go, if you want some.
Manager
- Hm?
You didn't have your lunch, right?
Why don't you go?
I'm fine.
What..
You're usually advocating for rights, but when you have to do things, you do them.
She's cool, isn't she?
She can clearly distinguish
when it's time to be on or off.
Excuse me!
I'm Nakata Makiko from the general affairs section.
I should have received some mail.
Please wait a moment..
Ah here, please.
Thank you very much.
Yoshikawa-san!
"West Gate Wrestling Federation?"
Youko likes it a lot.
Professional wrestling?
Since childhood, she's been liking strange things.
Snake molting..
horror movies..
collecting millipedes and so on..
What a difference, huh?
Yeah, I wonder who she's coming after..
Will we meet again after work?
Yes
Horita-san, please copy this 15 times.
- Yes?
Understood.
[Makiko-san, I love you.]
Nakata-kun!
Yes
Could you confirm the responses of the minister a last time?
I got it.
I'm going to have my lunch.
So you'll eat after all?
What about it?
Nothing..
She slapped you again?
You're quite calm despite that.
I'm not calm,
but I can't worry about that now.
I'm in a way more serious crisis with my sister at the moment.
A crisis more serious than getting slapped in the face because of a love triangle?
- Shocking~
It really is, though!
Why don't you snatch him away?
Stop that.
You really like him, don't you?
I don't!
You are becoming agitated!
I'm not!
You are!
Would you stop acting like a spirit from behind!?
That's right, Youko already has Janbo.
That's how it is..
Janbo is just a childhood friend!
Thank you very much for coming.
The mackerel miso meal!
With a lot of rice!
There's a fire at the ministry!
A fire, a fire!
Excuse me.
What's going on?
A fire!
It broke out in the hot-water supply in the control department.
Smoke!
Nakata-san, you're safe.
I couldn't find you and got worried.
Ah, that's right! Nakata-kun!
The documents I gave you a while ago?
Ah, they're inside the drawer of my desk.
Manger, it's dangerous!
Without them..
the minister won't be able to answer in tomorrow's National Diet!
That would be more than terrible!
Please let me through!
- Don't!
- The minister..!
The national..!
Please wait, manager!
I'll go.
Nakata-san?
I took charge of those documents,
it's my responsibility.
No, Nakata-kun!
Nakata-kun!
Nakata-san!
Manager
I can't find Yamashita-san.
Could she still be inside?
What?
Got them, got them..
She's slow.
Nakata-kun!
Help her getting her off!
- Hurry!
Are you all right?
Manager
Nakata-kun!
What an incredibly brave woman you are!
With this, tomorrow will be fine, right?
Yeah!
Nakata-san, you are amazing!
You are the ally of justice!
Oh! The ally of justice!
Yeah! The ally of justice!
- The ally of justice!
Yamashita-san, are you okay?
The documents..
The documents with the replies?
They're safe.
Nakata-san brought them out.
"Yet again, the older sister was successfully able
to hide her hobby not only from
Yoshikawa-san, but from the whole world."
"On the contrary,
her reputation as "ally of justice"
got boosted up once again."
So~hot!
"That night..
the older sister continued to take out
all her anger from that day on the younger sister."
It's your fault,
that it almost leaked out!
Moreover,
because of you..
Because of you!
I missed out on crab sushi!
It's no joke!
Why did I have to enter and go through the smoke?
What are you doing?
They got numb..
Don't. Stop it!
Stop it! Stop..!
"A few days later..
A few days later..
as atonement for what happened,
the younger sister
invited the older sister to the dressing room of Koriki."
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
didn't change."
didn't change."
Hey referee!
Skit: "What are you doing?"
All right, all right..
Hm? I'm making wine.
I'll imitate somebody else.
I'll imitate somebody else.
First Choushu Riki (famous wrestler)
and then Asada Mao (popular figure skater).
(If you didn't get his imitations, check the notes.)
I'll continue with Asashoryu.
(sumo wrestler)
Boring, let's go home.
Hey!
Hey!
I still have more to show!
Oneechan,
weren't you watching Koriki-san to reduce your stress level?
weren't you watching Koriki-san to reduce your stress level?
I got tired of him.
You!
Why don't you dance Para-Para?
I'm sorry..
I have to go to the phone.
Para-Para?
"With this, Koriki-san took the opportunity
and started dancing Para-Para."
"It was a big hit."
(..in 2005 with Hinoi Team)
"In other words, Koriki-san's Para-Para dance that took the world by storm
was actually thanks to the older sister."
[Shifting evil deeds becomes her art]
Cool.
Did you see Koriki's Para-Para?
I did, I did!
Damn great, isn't it?
How is that great?
Super hot!
What?
This!
Well, we have to go this way.
- See you!
- Bye-bye!
Dad?
"At that time, while one would think that the Nakata family
was working together for the older sister's marriage,
there was a way more unthinkable
crisis drawing near."
"The older sister especially was extremely beautiful and smart,
so that the younger sister thought,
it can't be anyone other than her older sister who's turning the world."
"Judging from her appearance alone, you wouldn't be able to imagine what kind of evil character she has."
Delicious!
Osomatsusama-deshita.
(It's been a pleasure.)
"One day, one evil,
in other words it was her motto to do at least one evil thing a day."
What if it's a virus?
"However, somehow her evil deeds always bring the people happiness
and before she knew, she was called the ally of justice."
"And for the love of the older sister,
the younger sister went on a mission to turn it into marriage.."
What are you doing?
Please treat her well.
"The love happily ripened."
"Eagerly waiting for the day
when the older sister would marry and leave the house,
the younger sister prayed that her
true character wouldn't leak out to her lover Naoki-san
and that she won't ever
have to be the target of her older sister again."
[Sisters Cruelty Tale]
Nakata Youko?
Take your hands off my boyfriend!
Boyfriend?
Riku is my boyfriend!
Why are such stupid things happening to me..
Youko!? Can you answer the door?
Please, I have my hands full.
Yes~
A delivery for Nakata Youko.
Yes
Please sign here.
Okay
Thank you very much.
"West Gate Wrestling Federation?"
Youko, what did he want?
Nothing!
Just some door-to-door salesman.
"Nakata Youko-sama"
"Thank you very much for joining the fan club of Choushu Koriki."
I knew it..
She used my name again..
Horita-san, please copy this.
- Yes, got it.
The material for the minister's answers.
It seems that the question list of the opposition party appeared.
There's only one week until the session of the National Diet!
How are the forms of the bill?
There are no problems, please leave it to me.
The minister wants this bill to be passed in this diet session by all means.
Everyone, do your best!
- Yes
Don't tell me.. you're leaving?
Why?
The National Diet is beginning soon.
Nobody inside this department is even going to have lunch in order to prepare the forms.
You are in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication..
They are done.
The Ministry of Justice's..
Finished.
Your work..
- I finished everything.
This isn't the problem.
Then what's the problem?
Everyone is doing their best to face the hardships
and you're at ease when we're in a situation like this?
Are you saying that because everyone's drowning in bog, I should drown with them as well?
Bog?
That's right.
Ending up with overtime only because you adapted to the situation, even though you finished your work,
overtime that would need heavy taxation by the citizens in order to be paid.
Who's adapting to who?
Calm down Yamashita-kun!
Nakata-kun finished her work,
so shouldn't it be fine?
Manager?
Nakata-san saved your life and so you're going to be easy on her?
T-That's not how it is!
She's not really bothering anyone, so she should be able to leave at regular time.
If you say such a thing, then..
- I have to leave now!
Excuse me.
Nakata-san!
Dad, what's that?
A Blu-ray DVD recorder
It has four times the capacity of the current one.
You'll thank me for getting such a thing.
Thanks
So, let's eat.
Youko, bring it over.
Yes
It's less than usual.
Because Oneechan isn't here.
I'm grateful, because you both eat anything I make with pleasure.
Because everything you make is delicious.
Itadakimasu~
Delicious~
Really..
Why isn't Makiko here anyway?
She has a date!
With a man?
You didn't know?
She got a new boyfriend.
Because of that she's been late recently, hasn't she?
Today is her favorite, Italian.
She's been enthusiastic about since morning.
Did you know?
The New York Philharmonic will be playing here.
Lorin Maazel is the director, right?
That's right.
If I remember correctly, then the soloist is..
Shouji Sayaka.
Ah right. She's great, isn't she?
The pride of the Japanese.
Yes
Delicious~
It is indeed.
So, what kind of guy is that man?
His name is Yoshikawa-san,
[Basic knowledge of classic]
he's working in the international department in the the same ministry as Makiko,
a good-looking elite graduated from The University of Tokyo.
His hobbies are listening to classical music and kayaking.
He dedicates his life to creating a better world for the children to live in.
Yoshikawa Naoki, 28 years old,
the eldest son of the Yoshikawa family, born and raised in Yokohama.
I'm thinking about when the civil war in Lebanon continues,
if there's anything I can do for the children that lost their parents..
Right now, he lives in a large apartment and has no debts.
Both of his parents are in good health,
his father works in the municipal office
and his mother is a housewife.
Usually, it's a demerit being the eldest son,
but since he has a younger brother, the possibility of her being burdened all alone with nursing is low.
Isn't that great~
You thoroughly examined him, huh..
"The first step to victory is knowing your enemy."
I heard that from Oneechan.
That's right.
The great thing about kayaking is that the water surface and your eyes are on the same level.
You can hear the conversation between the wind and the water..
All there is, is the sound of the rowing oar and the roar of the waves..
Forgive me, I'm talking too much..
No, I'm enjoying it.
Really?
Yeah
Well, I easily get carried away when talking about kayaking,
many are charmed by it, but..
to have someone who'd properly listen to it..
Speaking about hobbies, my mother likes to do tea ceremonies.
Do you do things like tea ceremonies?
You can't really call it a hobby, I guess.
I see..
It's part of your life.
Tea ceremonies, flowers and dressing in kimonos,
aren't those common sense for Japanese people?
That's what you meant.
Yes
There, there..
Ah~ so great~
I got home just now.
- Welcome home.
It says to knock, doesn't it?
It arrived?
So it really was you..
Why did you use my name to get into that fan club?
And in addition to that Koriki's..
It would be unwise, if this got leaked out.
I can't just simply put myself into the fan club.
It would be bothersome, if it got leaked out to Yoshikawa-san.
What does this have to do with him?
He thinks my hobbies are classical music and tea ceremonies.
"Ever since the remote past, the older sister has been crazy about strange things
and immersed herself into her hobbies."
"During one summer at our grandma's house in the country.."
Youko!
Yes
"She became interested in snake molting
and made her sister search for snake molting during the whole summer."
You're still collecting such things..
A girl shouldn't collect stuff like that!
"When she got into horror movies,
she made her younger sister watch them with her after their parents fell asleep,
because it would have been too scary for her to watch alone."
Now, Choushu Koriki..
In the decisive battle of Nagoya, Choushu Koriki is finally going into the ring, ring, ring..
He got into the ring!!
"The beginning of the older sister becoming enthusiastic about a hobby
is also the beginning of days without sleep for the younger sister."

Thanks to jdrama.cc for the Japanese script.
Also check out Nawidy's hardsubs for this drama.
It's hard to make the "so" and "ra"..
- Yeah, they simply won't come out..
The rhythm of that note is also difficult.
Exactly, it's too high.
- Way too high!
Hey Kumako!
How are you?
The usual..
What happened?
Okamoto Riku finally happens to talk to you..
What a waste~
I don't want to get involved into
troublesome things in my free time.
Troublesome things?
Yesterday, his girlfriend slapped me in the face.
- Eh?!
Okamoto Riku has a girlfriend..
It's a girl from our school.
I don't get what she meant by
"take your hands off", though..
- Are you serious?
Doesn't that mean that it's becoming serious between you two?
I see.
That's it! Snatch him away!
I have enough fighting scenes already..
Fighting scenes?
Those words..
don't really suit you, though.
The fighting scenes she's gotten into
aren't of such a half-hearted nature.
Shut up Janbo..
Are you coming over today?
Yes, sure.
Then at 4.
Okay, I'll go immediately.
[Oneechan]
Hel..
Koriki will appear on TV at 4, record it.
I'm not an answering machine..
What?!
How am I supposed to make it in time?
Where are you going Youko?
Wait!
Any unnecessary TVs, Stereos or CD-Players you have at home..
- It's already 4!
Any unnecessary TVs, Stereos or CD-Players you have at home..
Welcome home.
Where's the recorder Mom?
What's wrong?
You didn't even say "I'm home"..
Why is there no recorder?
We got a new one, so I gave it to the garbage collectors.
It's not connected!?
Yup, it isn't.
Why didn't Dad connect it?
When should he have done this?
What should I do.. If I don't hurry..
Here's his chance, his chance.. aww..
Watching this as a girl..!
Come on..
Why did he have to do such an unnecessary thing!?
Nakata-san
Please finish these by today.
Hey, isn't that bullying?
She wants her to do overtime by all means.
Amazing..
Pardon me for leaving first.
- Good-bye.
This is the last one!
I'm home.
Welcome home!
Where's Youko?
She was there just now..
That bastard..
Mama, what are we having for dinner tonight?
Cold shabu and tuna sashimi.
(thinly sliced meat and sliced raw tuna)
You still have the things for a tea ceremony, right?
I do, why?
Can't you teach me?
My, even though you had problems sitting correctly and immediately wanted to stop?
Youko!
You had a quarrel with Makiko again?
No, it's just one side that got angry.
I mean, if you properly connected the recorder,
then none of this would have happened.
It says that you quarrel when you are on good terms, doesn't it?
I really don't know about that.
Speaking of which, you and mom never have any quarrels.
There's no reason for that..
After all, I made a pledge to bring her happiness.
Because it was a miracle that Mom married you, right?
That's right.
It was 25 years ago.
Ah.. I turned the switch..
When your Dad was still a college student.
Mom was the daughter of the president of the publisher you worked for part-time.
It was love at first sight~
There was no reason for her to look at somebody like me..
Because there were many rivals.
My opponents were lawyers, doctors and..
- company presidents.
Her and I were completely different.
Hobbies, interests and even the food we liked.
Mom liked..
horse riding, yachts and things that are good for your health, while I..
was a nerd who enjoyed watching trains.
Also the food, while my favorite dish was natto,
she couldn't stand its flavor at all.
Then one day..
I vowed never to eat natto again.
Impossible~
No, it was fine even though it was impossible.
The happiest thing for me was seeing her smiling face,
so it wasn't impossible!
Because of love!
When there's love, you can overcome even the biggest differences
in social status, hobbies and the food you like.
Exactly!
Love saves the world!
Are you okay?
Eh?
Those are mine.
Please listen,
I wanted to record it, but the new
recorder Dad got wasn't connected..
Forgive me!
Kumako
This..
"As special favor for members of the fan club
50 members chosen by a lottery will get a limited DVD of Choushu Koriki."
What's this?
You absolutely have to get a hit.
Why me?
You should be able to get a hit with this.
The effort of a person will be rewarded.
If that's so, then why don't you do it?
The right person in the right place.
What's that?
I have a lot to do with my
counter-measurements for Yoshikawa.
I sitll don't get it, why do I have to do it?
Good night.
I can't go to bed any later than 11 or my skin won't refresh.
If that's so then don't watch videos until midnight!
Even getting me involved.
If you fail this time, I'll kill you.
[I wish to get Koriki-san's DVD]
[Evil people sleep well]
My member number is 3442.
Yes, I'm Nakata Youko.
I applied for the limited DVD present
and thought that the results should be out already..
Eh?
I didn't make it?
I understand. Yes..
Where is it?
There, it's there!
But I can't pick it up..
I'll be killed!
What should I do? Geez..
You got dirty.
No way!
What have you been doing?
I dropped my key chain..
I got it.
Koriki
It's not what you think!
That's not my hobby!
I should probably tell you why I have such a thing..
Well, it's a long story though..
Isn't that great? I like him a lot too.
Our hobbies match.
They don't! It's my sister's hobby.
That devilish sister you want to get married?
It's the worst..
I didn't get drawn for the Koriki limited DVD.
I'm as good as dead.
You really are interesting.
I'm not..
Good-bye.
Hold on!
Hello, Dad?
Isn't Kondo-san Koriki's manager?
I have a little something to ask of you..
Yeah
I got it.
You..
are acquainted with Koriki's manager?
It's because my dad works for a TV station.
Seriously?
Let's go.
Where to? Where?
Hey!
Wipe your face first.
My face?
Wait a minute, Okamoto Riku!
Hey
Weren't you going out with Riku?
Hurry.
Excuse me, Kondo-san.
I would really like to help your girlfriend, but..
She's not my girlfriend!
That's right, I'm not.
You even went through the trouble to get here,
but we don't have any DVDs left.
My sister wants it at all costs!
She's.. beautiful
and smart on top of that!
Nakata Makiko is famous in the ministry and has a promising future for her career.
Can't something be done?
She sure is gorgeous..
Look.
That's really your older sister?
Somehow..
I'm begging you!
Well, I could look to see if we have one left, but don't get your hopes up.
I'll call you when there's another live event.
Yes, Kondo here.
Ah, hello!
Was it really good?
[Going Kayaking]
That's the kind of movie I like.
It was fun.
Really?
Yeah
That's right..
Would it be okay to invite you to a tea party sometime?
Tea party?
Yeah
When I told my mom that you also like tea ceremonies, she told me to invite you.
Your mother?
My father also would like to meet you on that occasion.
I'd be happy, if you asked me!
Makiko will be late again today?
She went to see a movie with Yoshikawa-san.
A documentary about kayaking.
Makiko?!
That girl hates documentaries.
She took a lot of gum with her so she wouldn't fall asleep.
Is Makiko really trying to get with that man?
It's the first time, isn't it?
And it's even unusual for it to last that long.
Until now, she never made it to even a 3rd date,
but this time..
The 8th!
That many?
She always returned from her dates like "He had bad breath!",
"How can you wear white socks with that suit?" or similar complaints,
but this time around she didn't say anything.
He must be a great man.
"Usually, her love life repeatedly switches between becoming hot and cooling down,
but this time something was different."
Then.. you gently have to take the natsume.
(wooden tea caddy, resembles a natsume/jujube fruit)
Yes
Good morning~
Why do I even have to take part in this?
She said that the atmosphere wouldn't be right without a few guests.
"The older sister's tenacity can be amazing
when she sets her mind to something."
"To get what she wants,
[Book about Tea Ceremony; Sea-Kayak Manual]
she would take any means necessary without sparing efforts."
"Such concentration and attachment are imperceptible for an ordinary person."
"As strict as she may be towards her sister or other people,
the person she's the strictest to is herself."
Kumako
Yes
"That's her belief
and her policy."
"While looking at her older sister like that,
'I can't win against her.'
and 'I can't be like her.'
went through the younger sister's mind."
"And then she understood it."
"Her sister is serious."
"Unlike her former relationships,
she seriously plans to plunder Yoshikawa-san's whole life."
"So to speak..
she was like a lion in front of its prey,
serious and with incredibly high dignity."
"And the only time during her every day stress,
the time when she was able to release her mind,
was when she was able to laugh while watching Koriki."
Hello
Kondo-san?
The DVD?
You found one!?
Thank you very much!
Eh? At the ministry?
Wait a minute! At her workplace would be bad..
Eh? You sent it?
I understand.
Yes
Yes..
Good morning.
- Good morning.
[Kumako]
What?
Oneechan, don't get angry.
Please don't get angry and listen.
Hurry and say it!
Koriki's manager..
sent the DVD to the ministry!
What did you just say?!
Do you know what kind of situation I will be in when this arrives at my workplace?
Worst of all..
What if it leaks out to Yoshikawa-san?
Take responsibility!
My whole life is in danger!
Going that far..
Do something.
You heard me.
You and Riku went to the TV station together, right?
Eh?
His dad told me when I went to his house yesterday.
We had something to do there..
Didn't I tell you to take your hands off Riku?
It's not like that!
Don't lie!
Riku is a shy one.
He never spoke to any girl other than me!
Sorry, but I don't have time for this now..
If I don't go now..
This is a serious matter!
I'm really sorry!
Right now, Koriki's DVD is about to blow a fuse!
Koriki?
Are you saying that a DVD of Choushu Koriki is more important?
No, it's more like a super crisis!
Don't make fun of me!
Why did this happen?
How about each year?
I see..
maybe half a year would be even better..
Yeah, then where's the list with those who are experienced with science?
About that..
- Ah, I already finished it.
Really?
Yes
Now that would be very helpful..
Here..
[Post Office]
Eh? It might have left already?
Thanks.
Ah! Hey, Miss!
The other side, the other!
Okay
Excuse me!
Please wait!!
Wait!!
It left?
I don't know how soon the mail will arrive here.
I'll have to stay at my desk the whole time!
Even if you say that..
It's your fault that I can't even have my lunch nor go to the bathroom.
I'll never..
forget this resentment.
Remember that.
I-I'm sorry!
That's.. Para-Para.
(Japanese solo dance)
It's my way to relieve stress.
Isn't that stupid?
How rare..
You're giving up your lunch break to work..
What are you scheming?
I'm not scheming anything.
We have an immense amount of work so I just want to help..
Oh really?
Yeah
Everyone!
The wife of the section manager sent some crab sushi to the international department.
Feel free to go, if you want some.
Manager
- Hm?
You didn't have your lunch, right?
Why don't you go?
I'm fine.
What..
You're usually advocating for rights, but when you have to do things, you do them.
She's cool, isn't she?
She can clearly distinguish
when it's time to be on or off.
Excuse me!
I'm Nakata Makiko from the general affairs section.
I should have received some mail.
Please wait a moment..
Ah here, please.
Thank you very much.
Yoshikawa-san!
"West Gate Wrestling Federation?"
Youko likes it a lot.
Professional wrestling?
Since childhood, she's been liking strange things.
Snake molting..
horror movies..
collecting millipedes and so on..
What a difference, huh?
Yeah, I wonder who she's coming after..
Will we meet again after work?
Yes
Horita-san, please copy this 15 times.
- Yes?
Understood.
[Makiko-san, I love you.]
Nakata-kun!
Yes
Could you confirm the responses of the minister a last time?
I got it.
I'm going to have my lunch.
So you'll eat after all?
What about it?
Nothing..
She slapped you again?
You're quite calm despite that.
I'm not calm,
but I can't worry about that now.
I'm in a way more serious crisis with my sister at the moment.
A crisis more serious than getting slapped in the face because of a love triangle?
- Shocking~
It really is, though!
Why don't you snatch him away?
Stop that.
You really like him, don't you?
I don't!
You are becoming agitated!
I'm not!
You are!
Would you stop acting like a spirit from behind!?
That's right, Youko already has Janbo.
That's how it is..
Janbo is just a childhood friend!
Thank you very much for coming.
The mackerel miso meal!
With a lot of rice!
There's a fire at the ministry!
A fire, a fire!
Excuse me.
What's going on?
A fire!
It broke out in the hot-water supply in the control department.
Smoke!
Nakata-san, you're safe.
I couldn't find you and got worried.
Ah, that's right! Nakata-kun!
The documents I gave you a while ago?
Ah, they're inside the drawer of my desk.
Manger, it's dangerous!
Without them..
the minister won't be able to answer in tomorrow's National Diet!
That would be more than terrible!
Please let me through!
- Don't!
- The minister..!
The national..!
Please wait, manager!
I'll go.
Nakata-san?
I took charge of those documents,
it's my responsibility.
No, Nakata-kun!
Nakata-kun!
Nakata-san!
Manager
I can't find Yamashita-san.
Could she still be inside?
What?
Got them, got them..
She's slow.
Nakata-kun!
Help her getting her off!
- Hurry!
Are you all right?
Manager
Nakata-kun!
What an incredibly brave woman you are!
With this, tomorrow will be fine, right?
Yeah!
Nakata-san, you are amazing!
You are the ally of justice!
Oh! The ally of justice!
Yeah! The ally of justice!
- The ally of justice!
Yamashita-san, are you okay?
The documents..
The documents with the replies?
They're safe.
Nakata-san brought them out.
"Yet again, the older sister was successfully able
to hide her hobby not only from
Yoshikawa-san, but from the whole world."
"On the contrary,
her reputation as "ally of justice"
got boosted up once again."
So~hot!
"That night..
the older sister continued to take out
all her anger from that day on the younger sister."
It's your fault,
that it almost leaked out!
Moreover,
because of you..
Because of you!
I missed out on crab sushi!
It's no joke!
Why did I have to enter and go through the smoke?
What are you doing?
They got numb..
Don't. Stop it!
Stop it! Stop..!
"A few days later..
A few days later..
as atonement for what happened,
the younger sister
invited the older sister to the dressing room of Koriki."
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
"However, her "easily becoming hot and cooling down" character
didn't change."
didn't change."
Hey referee!
Skit: "What are you doing?"
All right, all right..
Hm? I'm making wine.
I'll imitate somebody else.
I'll imitate somebody else.
First Choushu Riki (famous wrestler)
and then Asada Mao (popular figure skater).
(If you didn't get his imitations, check the notes.)
I'll continue with Asashoryu.
(sumo wrestler)
Boring, let's go home.
Hey!
Hey!
I still have more to show!
Oneechan,
weren't you watching Koriki-san to reduce your stress level?
weren't you watching Koriki-san to reduce your stress level?
I got tired of him.
You!
Why don't you dance Para-Para?
I'm sorry..
I have to go to the phone.
Para-Para?
"With this, Koriki-san took the opportunity
and started dancing Para-Para."
"It was a big hit."
(..in 2005 with Hinoi Team)
"In other words, Koriki-san's Para-Para dance that took the world by storm
was actually thanks to the older sister."
[Shifting evil deeds becomes her art]
Cool.
Did you see Koriki's Para-Para?
I did, I did!
Damn great, isn't it?
How is that great?
Super hot!
What?
This!
Well, we have to go this way.
- See you!
- Bye-bye!
Dad?
"At that time, while one would think that the Nakata family
was working together for the older sister's marriage,
there was a way more unthinkable
crisis drawing near."
