01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

What's going on?
We're not doing anything here.

This is our family vacation, right?

Juichi wants to let Dad do
whatever he wants during this trip.

Ti amo, Chiharu!

Judy!

Judy?

- I missed you, Judy!
- I missed you, too.

Here you go. This is my dandelion coffee.

This is my oldest son, Juichi.

You're a pro-wrestler, right?

- He's Blizzard.
- Stop it, Dad.

That's it!

I retired from pro-wrestling,

and I'm training to take over
our family business.

Is that right?

Juichi, Chiharu writes a blog
on Japanese traditional arts

to introduce it to the rest of the world.

I used to love Noh, Kyogen,
and Kabuki when I was younger.

I followed you to Italy, remember?

That brings back memories.
The resort hotel in Amalfi...

- I know, right?
- What brought you here today?

We're on a family vacation to Fukushima.

Do you still watch Noh performances?

Not at all, actually.
I'm really into farming right now.

Right.

No longer Noh, but farming.

You're so funny!

Really?

Organic life is the best
since times are rough.

My husband and I run an online store

which shows the farmers selling
the organic vegetables they grow.

- Husband?
- And...

- Sorry, Judy.
- What's wrong?

It's time for me to update my Instagram.

Husband?

- Can I post your photo?
- Of course, you can!

Please.

And your husband?

Can I?

- The two of us?
- Yes!

- I'm so happy.
- I'm taking it.

- Please.
- Okay.

Your husband?

Please check it.

That's a great photo.

Chiharu.

As you can see,

I've gotten older.

You were always on my mind, though.

It's not really an apology
or anything, but...

I want you to have this.

Here it is.

This is the mask that I wore
when I danced Oeyama in Italy.

Really?

I want you to have this.

Are you kidding?

- We're home!
- Welcome home.

Darling, welcome home!

It was heavy, right? Thanks.

Did she just call him darling? Darling?

Darling?

What was that dandelion coffee?

So cheap.

Blue Mountain coffee is the best,
right, Juichi?

What? Yes.

She didn't do anything wrong.

She loved Noh at one point.
Now she loves farming.

That's all.

She's just an organic farmer on Instagram.

She gave us a lot of vegetables.
That was nice.

Listen, Mai.

I gave the Oeyama mask to that girl.

What?

Sorry. I couldn't stop him.

How much is that worth?

People might buy it
for one million yen at an auction.

- What?
- Let's get it back.

Hold on, you.

It's rude to ask something back
that you gave away first.

This is a former playboy's
final apology tour.

Let me show off a bit.

One million yen just to show off?

This your apology tour?
Meaning, there's other girls?

I need to go to the bathroom.

- I need the restroom.
- How many girls? Tell us!

I don't want to have an accident.
Please take me.

This is the story of my family.

We're on a vacation.

I'm bored.

YOSUKE: WISH YOU WERE HERE

JUJU: LUNCHTIME NOW

YOSUKE: IN IBARAKI NOW

JUJU: HOW ARE YOU?

I'm going home.

- You're leaving?
- Yes.

I should go home, too.

See you.

I've only dated rich men.

Why did I fall in love with a muscle man?

Are you talking to yourself?

I hate macho men.

Am I a bimbo who likes macho men?

No, a gym freak who wants to get girls
who like macho guys?

That type?

You're talking to yourself, right?
See you.

All I wanted was a stable income,
huge savings, and properties.

That's all. I never wanted
to marry a strong man.

- Are you listening?
- Yes!

What, weren't you talking to yourself?

All he has is physical strength.

Physical strength and real estate... But...

And yet...

- It's from him!
- You're scaring me!

JUICHI SENT A PHOTO

Hideo, is your ramen combo good?

- Yes.
- Good.

- Is your pork cutlet curry good?
- It's delicious!

Hey, why are you eating that?
Where's your wild plant soba?

We switched.

Wow. You can eat that, Dad?

I'll confirm one more time.

Is it really okay?

Please.

Okay. I won't hold back.

- Are you ready?
- Okay.

Zea!

That's enough. Put me down!

Sorry, did I hurt you?

- It's not the same.
- What?

- Juichi, do you have a second?
- What's the matter?

I've been texting Sakura,
but she never replied.

Just now she finally did, but...

Look.

Why did she text "read"?
What does that mean?

That means you're annoying.

Let's go.

What she said.

Let's go, Dad.

Hideo, do you need to go to the bathroom?

I'm fine.

Get off at Mito.

Did you hear me? Get off at Mito!

I need to go to the bathroom.

What should I do?

I'll have an accident if you don't!

Okay, we're getting off.
Put the turn signal on.

A politician invited me
to a party a long time ago.

I met a geisha girl from Shimbashi
named Mamechiyo.

She said that even in her thirties

she would marry me
if I were still single at the time.

So in her letter she wrote,

"I opened a bar in Mito.
Come visit if you want."

Hideo, give this to your dad.

Hideo, are you having fun?

Yes.

Okay.

I sang "My Way" at karaoke and this girl
Mamechiyo was so touched...

she bawled her eyes out.

"MY WAY"

"My Way"? Who's singing it?

- Did you request "My Way"?
- It was me.

June...

June?

I missed you so much, Mamechiyo!

Please keep your mask on while you sing.

Yes.

KARAOKE BAR
MAMECHIYO

I quit my geisha job after five years.

The senior women bullied me.

Are you still single?

My common-law husband
is in jail in Tochigi.

I see.

He got out on parole the first time, but...

I take care of our three children
and my mom who has dementia.

- Mom, he's a national treasure.
- Dad, let's go.

Mamechiyo, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Because I...

I couldn't make you happy.

I'm sorry.

She never said she was unhappy, Dad.

Do I look happy?

Yes, uh...

Yes.

Mamechiyo.

This isn't meant as an apology
or anything, but...

This is the Miyama family's...

Here's a fan with his name on it.
Please accept it.

June, thank you.

Not at all.

Thanks for remembering me.

Thank you for thinking about me.

I don't even know how to thank you.

It's on! This is my song!

The flowers are blooming! Juntaku!

What's going on?

- Juichi, I want to leave.
- Right?

- I want to go.
- Let's go.

She too didn't do anything wrong.

Oh.

- What's going on? It stopped.
- Did you press the button?

- Hurry up. This is awkward.
- Why did it stop?

Hurry, this is lame.

Is it broken?

Do you need help?

Don't worry about us.
We'll be fine. Thank you.

Hurry so we can leave.

Suehiro just texted me.

He said, "The wheelchair needs
to be locked for the lift to operate."

Really? What does that mean?

What's that?

- Hideo!
- Hideo, where are you going?

Hideo!

What's the matter?

What's wrong, Hideo?

You're not feeling well?

You said you were having fun, right?

You're not?

That's it.

Uncle Juichi, stop asking him.

I was thinking the same thing.
You sound like Tsuruko.

You keep asking him, "Are you having fun?"

He must feel pressured.
He can't have fun like that.

Tsuruko?

"Is it good? Is it good?"

Isn't that Tsuruko?

Never mind. Forget what I said!

Don't worry. Hideo's having fun. Right?

Sorry.

I won't ask you anymore.

When you're having fun, tell me.

There you go again!

How would I know then?

- Can you park the van?
- Sure.

Jugemu, put my luggage in my room.

Aloha! Aloha!

Is Yu Aoi here?

Photos of food and his family...

Oh, boy. What am I doing in Zeami's room?

I ate too much.

I told you to have a light lunch.
What a waste!

I can't move anymore.

Where are you going, Grandpa?

Grandpa, not that way.

You guys can go up.
Dad! Where are you going?

You know where I'm going.

- I'm visiting a woman.
- What?

She runs a hotel near here.

Her name is Mayumi.

After Mom passed away,

I seriously thought about
getting remarried to her.

Maybe you shouldn't go see her?

What?

If you don't see her,
you won't be disappointed.

Your memories of her will remain pretty.

Like Zeami's saying,
"Art is to conceal art."

Mayumi isn't like other girls.

Forget about them.
They have their own lives now.

They don't expect anything
from you anymore, Dad.

That's enough!

Art is to conceal art.

Why are you in such a rush?

I have to be.

After all, this will be my last trip.

I won't be able to see them anymore.

I used to be popular,
but now I'm just a senile old man.

I don't care anymore.

Let's go, Hideo.

Come on.

Thanks for waiting.

I'm the owner of this hotel.

Mayumi! I missed you!

- Jumanji?
- Yes I am!

Stop that. Sorry for dropping in.

We're his son and grandson.

You're walking! Oh my.

Please leave.

Why? Why?

I came to see you from Tokyo.

No, Jumanji.

Why today of all days?

- Dad, let's go.
- But...

Stop bothering her.

Grandpa is sick.

My grandpa is dying soon.

So please be nice to him.

Hideo!

What the...?

There you are! Don't leave me alone!

I'm sad.

- Who are they?
- Who are you?

Who am I? I'm on my school trip!

Take your shades off! That's rude!

Huh?

Huh?

- Blizzard Kotobuki?
- Were you in a karaoke video?

Who's singing "My Way"?

- Yes I was.
- Right?

- Before I got my big break...
- Did you ever get a break?

What? You don't know me?

We just won the New Performer's Award
on Yusen Taisho.

I'm Juntaku's leader, Takasshi.

Takashi from Junretsu?

Don't say that.

Juntaku performs at super bathhouses
that Junretsu doesn't perform at, right?

And I'm Takasshi, not Takashi.

The cutesy factor of my name
tickles the fans' loving instincts.

Takasshi?

It's a group of four former
karaoke video actors.

Their catchy melodies and easy dance moves

have captivated the hearts
of their female fans.

That's Juntaku.

Oh, jeez. You know a lot about Takasshi.

Of course! I'm a huge fan.

LOVE TAKASSHI

Actually, there's a small space
in between "jun" and "taku."

Our precious princesses
will fill the small gap for us.

They're promoting
their new song right now.

Our concert is tomorrow.

But I had a sh**t for
Tsurube no Kazoku ni Kanpai.

So, I came here early from Aomori.

I found this secluded hotel
with a beautiful owner in Iwaki.

Then, this old man came, too.

Shut up. You're just
a third-rate pop singer on the road.

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Takashi.

Can my dad talk to Mayumi
in private for just five minutes?

- Juichi, don't worry about it.
- Really?

You might not ever see her again.

I don't care. Jumanji is too old for her.

- I'm leaving.
- Grandpa!

You were supposed to marry her, right?

Right?

- Blizzard?
- Yes?

You just retired, right?

Yeah.

Why?

To take care of my father
and take over the family business...

What was it, kabuki?

He's a Noh performer
and also a living national treasure.

What? Him? Wow.

Must be nice to be born
into the traditional performing world.

He can still boss people around
in that condition, huh?

Just being born into the family...

All the third-rate pop singers
are desperate.

Please come see us tomorrow.

You're invited.

Would you like to perform with us?

Juichi, hurry up.
I'm going to catch a cold.

Hold on.

I need a 100-yen coin?

What are you doing? This is terrible.

I shouldn't have come here.

Seriously...

Hurry and pick those up.

Don't tell me what to do.

You shouldn't have come?

That's what I should be saying,
you shitty old man!

That's all I've been thinking!

I shouldn't have come.

All of us have been putting up with
your diva-like attitude.

Huh? Just because I couldn't
take a 100-yen coin out quickly,

you shouldn't have come here?

Look who's talking, shitty old man!

Jui-chan, don't break anything.

I'm done! I can't do this anymore!

I brought you here
because you wanted to come here!

I never said I wanted to come here!

I just said that I didn't mind
going on a vacation.

You want to go home?
Go home by yourself then!

Can you go home by yourself?
You can't, right?

Then, listen to me!

I will, you jerk!

You're so conceited, Juichi!

Damn it!

Damn it! I can't do this anymore!

Why are you here?

Juichi.

Where are your pants?

Be careful. It's slippery.

- Be careful, Daisu.
- Sorry.

- Hold onto me, sir.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Is this okay? This is the men's bath.

It'll be fine if I act confident.

I already know in my head.

But I still expect something back
from him.

"I'm doing this for you.
Can you just thank me a little?"

He even said
that he never wanted to come here.

He's acting like a spoiled kid.

When will I be able

to separate being his son
from taking care of him, like you do.

I'm here because I couldn't
separate work from my feelings.

What?

Are you regretting the family vacation?

Right now, yes.

Maybe it'll be a great memory
someday, but...

It can't be your job,
since you are father and son.

It felt so nice!

I have to respect Juichi
for doing by himself every day.

Can I get in the bath one more time?

What?

Put the bath mats out, quick!

I've met all kinds of families
in the senior care industry.

It's almost impossible
to see it as simply a job.

Parents are parents,
and kids are kids after all.

It'll never change even
if you take care of his bathroom needs.

That's why you feel helpless
and sad sometimes.

Wait...

Then, will I...

Will I feel this way forever?

When did you get here?

- Me?
- Yes.

I took the Super Hitachi train.

Is that right? Sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Yosuke made you come, right?

He sent several LINE messages
on our way here.

That's why I left my phone at home.

I'll go get Yosuke.

It's my birthday.

Your birthday?

Happy birthday.

Thanks. I turned 33 years old.

I see. We have to get you a gift.

Please carry me.

What? Carry you?

Carry?

Okay. Right. Excuse me.

Um... not like this.

Okay.

Here you go.

Can you put me
on your shoulder from the front?

You want me to carry you over my shoulder?

You want a body slam?

Is that it?

Okay.

No! Definitely not that!

I put you on my shoulder
and slam you on the ground, right?

I didn't ask for that.

No? What is it then?

Carry me like a bandit!

A-A bandit?

A bandit? What?

Will this mask remind you of the pose?

You know, Sakura, "Art is to conceal art."

Oh, jeez.

Hold me.

Hold you?

Go ahead.

YOSUKE: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, RIGHT?

CAN WE TALK?

IT'S IMPORTANT

There will be record-breaking snowfall
in Aomori Prefecture.

There may be road closures
and traffic delays.

Please plan your trips accordingly.

Jugemu, do you have a girlfriend?

I've never heard about your love life.

Actually, I'm thinking
about marrying this girl.

Shall I propose to her on LINE?
What do you think, dude?

Since you and I are actually
half brothers...

Don't speak to me so casually then.

What?

I'm your older brother,
so have some respect.

Then, I'll talk to you.

You serious?

Listen, dude.

I'll knock you out the next time
you call me "dude."

- Listen.
- What?

In my opinion, the Miyama family's
line of succession

should be Juichi, me, Hideo,
Daisu, Osada, then you.

So?

What are you going to do?

Are you going to quit Noh or continue?

Do I have to answer right now?

Hurry up and decide. Everyone's wondering.

Fine.

You can quit once and see.

Grandpa is a lot less strict now.

You don't have to run away from home
like Juichi did.

If you want to do Noh again,
you can always come back.

Can I still stay a part of this family
even if I quit?

Of course! Don't be ridiculous.

Uncle Juichi told me,

"The Miyama family needs someone
who doesn't even like Noh."

Really? My brother said that?

What's wrong, Hideo?

Did you have a nightmare?

I'm sorry for saying
that you'll be dying soon.

Well, it was kind of sad,
but I am dying, so...

No! I don't want that!

Hideo...

Is that it, Hideo?

You don't want me to die?

I see...

Oh, Hideo.

Just hearing you say that...

made it worth for me to come here.

Thank you.

Grandpa!

I love you.

You're adorable.

What are you doing, Sakura?

What?

Juichi!

I thought you were a bandit.

Did you catch something?

Sakura!

Why?

Did you come from Tokyo?

Yes.

Seriously? Just to see me?

I just sent you a LINE message.

Oh, did you?

You didn't read them, did you?

Well...

I'm going back to my room. Enjoy.

- I'm going home.
- What?

I got to see your face.
That's what I wanted.

I'm taking the first train home. See you.

Have fun. Say hi to Juju for me.

She came just to see me?

Oh, man!

Listen, Yosuke.

I'm in love with you all over!

Let's go.

On the star-falling night...
Just you and me...

Happily, shamefully, Takasshi!

To the bossa nova music
Our fingers are touching

It's a night of romance!
Getting close to you

This was "Hoshifuru Machikado"
by Takasshi.

What is this?

Those old women are making waves.

And, he's riding on it.

Juntaku is back at Spa Resort
Hawaiians this year again!

I'm back. I missed you.

In a corner of town...
there's Haruki Kadokawa.

This is so ridiculous.

But they seem so happy.

Since he caters to his audience this much

it's almost embarrassing
to listen while sitting still.

It's better to act foolish.
I want to act foolish.

Well, product sales are our lifeline.

These face shields
are this year's new product.

Look!

The members' faces are printed on them.

When you wear this, Takasshi's face is...?

It's too close to see.

They're 2,500 yen!



That's expensive.

Where's Dad?

I wasn't expecting you to come see me.

Well, we might never see each other again.

I thought you might
come back to me as a ghost.

What did your doctor say?

Well, I have about six months to one year.

Takasshi, Kiyosshi, Akkira,
and Hirottaro will be finally

singing our new song after this.

Why am I feeling a sense of defeat?

Traditional performing arts aren't
the same as popular entertainment.

We might have gotten arrogant

and forgotten the true nature
of entertainment.

Being able to make
people smile like this is incredible.

What's happened to you two?

Actually, I said yes.

Me, too. I got their photos,
a CD, and a face shield.

That's not what I meant.

He dared me. And, I said yes.

All the third-rate pop singers
are desperate.

Why don't you join us?

Sounds interesting. Challenge accepted.

I'm the Miyama family's 28th successor.

I'll show you
the traditional performing art of Japan.

What?

Sorry. I had to accept his dare
as a former wrestler.

What are you performing?
Hagoromo? Takasago?

Nobody's going to enjoy that.

Let's admit our defeat and apologize.

JUNTAKU DRESSING ROOM

Is this it?

TO JUNTAKU
FROM JUNRETSU

- This must be it.
- Wow!

Excuse me.

Oh, Takasshi.

Oh, it's you.

Sorry for being rude last night.

Are you stupid? Who are you talking to?

Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Well, we enjoyed your performance.

- It was overwhelming.
- Of course, idiot!

If you're not here, the sound will be off.

Akkira, give the phone to Kiyosshi.

Sorry, I wasn't listening.

This is my third time saying it,
so please listen.

If we perform here,
we'll look like fish out of water.

Hold on.

It's perfect. You three are perfect.

Okay, get changed.
Didn't you hear it on the news?

Aomori is having a lot of snow.

The other members got stuck
on the highway.

They just got to Iwate.
They won't make it in time.

Here you go. Don't worry.

Our dance routine is easy.
I do all the singing, so...

What? We're performing?

You're pros, right?
You perform all the time, right?

How long have you been doing this?

About 650 years.

You're a super veteran.

No...

Please! The show's already started!

I can't perform on my own.

It has to look like a group of four.

Please!

Are you serious?
This guy can't dance at all.

He skipped school because
he couldn't dance to "Mayim Mayim."

Shut up!

Flowers, flowers, flowers
Art is to conceal art

What?

This is our new song,
"Art Is to Conceal Art."

- This is unbelievable.
- What a coincidence!

- What?
- That's Zeami's saying.

"Art is to conceal art."

No, no, no. Mr. Nakanishi
wrote the lyrics.

It's read as "Fuda." Fuda Nakanishi.

It's actually my alias, you see.

Ready?

Flowers, flowers, flowers
Art is to conceal art

Go ahead.

What?

What's this? It's easy!

Right?

Ships, ships, ships
What perfect timing!

- Go ahead.
- Ships, ships, ships, ships, flowers

What's this? It's a lot easier than Noh.

Let's do this!

Bored, bored, bored

I was waiting for you, Jusaburo.

You can call me Jumanji.

No, this is a serious conversation.

You said, "Let's get married
the next time we see each other."

You came back after 20 years.

You're terrible.

Well...

I didn't want you to forget about me.

Once I die, everything will be over.
That's too sad.

"He was a terrible man!"

I wished that the women I loved
still think about me.

How could I forget?

Even if I forget,

I'm sure your children will remember you.

You caused a lot of trouble for them.

I hope they will.

Good, that's it!

It's coming together.

Why can't I just genuinely say thank you?

Families are like that.

- Right?
- Yes.

Okay, let's go.

Hold on. We have the dance routine down.

But won't your fans notice our faces?

That's true.

Don't worry. We'll be far enough.

Those old women
don't recognize our faces anyway.

No, I don't think...

Then, wear these.

- Mayumi.
- Yes?

When I can perform Noh again...

You should...

Oh, no!

Thank you.

What did he say?

Juntaku is about to perform
their new song, "Art Is to Conceal Art"

at Spa Resort Hawaiians!

They're here!

"ART IS TO CONCEAL ART"

Juntaku!

It's between you and me

Aha!

Can you keep a secret?

Aha!

Do you like having secrets?

Aha!

You're such a troublemaker

You're so inappropriate

You've accepted my advances

No, no

I can't hide it with my mask

Never

Flowers, flowers, flowers...
Art is to conceal art

It's a battle of ideas
between stamen and pistil

Ships, ships, ships...
What perfect timing!

The distance between my office
And the hotel

Bored, bored, bored
I'm bored on the weekends

Be careful with the driving camera

Flowers, flowers, flowers
Art is to conceal art

We can't tell anyone

Love is like a blizzard!

This is nice. Shall I post it on YouTube?

Juntaku is at Spa Resort Hawaiians!

They're here!

Right? Blizzard?

Long time no see, Blizzard!

Thank you!

Oh. The master is watching.

Takasshi, can we sing one more song?

Dad!

Look, it's Grandpa!

Seriously?

Dad, you're awesome!

Thank you.

Dad, that was really awesome!

Sorry for saying you were annoying,
but you really were.

Sir, can I depend on you more?
Can I speak more casually?

Of course!

Thank you, everyone. Come up here.

Thank you. Here's my signature.

What's going on there?

Thank you, everyone!

Dad, you looked really cool!

Good job, Dad.

That was the best!

Say cheese!

Smile for the camera.

I got it. I'm your travel helper, Suehiro.

When did you get here?

I was here the whole time.

I just kept my distance.

Oh. What's going on?

Suehiro just texted us.

Please enjoy your family vacation.

Thanks.

Okay, see you.

Are you leaving?

Thanks for saving me earlier.

What? What do you mean?

This one is better.

I need him now.
I don't care about the future.

Don't ever see Hideo again.

His illness got worse
in such a short time.

I want to practice Noh!

Why isn't Hideo coming?

So, look bloodthirsty all you want.

Please let Hideo practice Noh,
until Dad dies.
