"Fuwa." "Shotaro Fuwa" "Almost let my real name get out there..." "But whoever it is knows my real name when my own agency doesn't..." "Who the heck is it?" "The True Face of the Storm" "Then we'll move onto the next question!" "I heard a rumor that..." "Another one?" "!" "...Fuwa was on the badminton team in middle school." "Like hell I was!" "I hate that retarded sport where you hit the shuttlecock as hard as you can and it barely moves!" "Who is it?" "Who's specifically going after my secret weak points..." "Sho was on the badminton team." "That's a surprise." "My cool and captivating image!" "huh?" "But we'd need a racket for that..." "Had one ready to go. so please show us what you can do!" "Da-Da-Da..." "Damn chicken!" "You got a grudge against me or something?" "!" "What's this?" "Bo?" "that's right." "I forgot to mention that the loser will be punished." "and howl?" "Chatter Chatter" "What..." "Kyoko 36 W 0 L this show is broadcast live on a national network." "Shotaro..." "The sound of you crying pathetically tonight!" "Shotaro 0 W 36 L" "Badminton Match out of Nowhere ready and... start!" "This isn't funny!" "What?" "He actually returned it?" "!" "Pretty cheeky for stupid Shotaro!" "he reached it!" "And she was complaining before the show started..." "She's outshining the regulars right now." "You've gotta be kidding." "I didn't make her the chicken so she could have a good time." "She isn't the kind of girl who stays down after a tumble." "I'll have to keep an eye on her..." "What's going on here?" "Sho's playing badminton..." "I thought he'd turn into an icky bumpkin..." "His supple limbs flutter like a butterfly!" "His shining sweat is so beautiful!" "His creased brow is so sexy!" "Shotaro's fans are loving him even more!" "I'll have to use my last resort!" "Ow!" "So bright!" "I told you not to lob it like that!" "But..." "You're the one who told me to make it harder for you." "I came up with this special move 'cause you said so." "how could I let myself space out like that?" "That's match!" "Bo loses!" "Huh?" "That was stupid." "of course it'll get stuck up there." "We'll need Bo to make some noise for the ending of the program then." "OK." "And we're on commercial!" "Everyone from my hometown knows my real name." "But only one person would know the only sport I hate and use the one technique I can't stand!" "Because she's the only person I've played badminton against in my sixteen years!" "this commercial break won't be very long. do it out here instead of in the dressing room." "Could she be..." "I'll get my revenge! you'll have to go into showbiz." "Kyoko?" "What were you thinking?" "Changing the material like that!" "I'm sorry." "Just try to mess up again!" "I'll make it so you can never step foot in this studio again!" "Got it?" "!" "Yes..." "Honestly..." "Why did it turn out this way? the more he's appreciated?" "!" "am I the one whose career in showbiz is in peril?" "Wind and Cloud Survival Island" "Which means everything is..." "The next segment of our show will be Wind and Cloud Survival Island!" "So tape because of him." "So then why..." "Start!" "we've switched to tape!" "Why do I have to serve him tea?" "!" "And I can't even lay a finger on him when I'm standing right next to him!" "Fuwa?" "yeah..." "I was wondering if it was a man or a woman inside this thing." "Why does he suddenly care about that?" "!" "Especially in the middle of a live broadcast!" "Why you..." "Sh-Shoot..." "What's this?" "You seem awfully desperate to deny it." "Don't tell me you're..." "Stop!" "My head's gonna come off!" "Who is it?" "!" "Show yourself!" "No!" "I'd rather die than let him find out it's me!" "Fuwa!" "Ow..." "What's with this position?" "!" "No!" "but I can't get up!" "I prefer women that are sexier with hotter bodies." "Regardless of whether I'm pushing them down or being pushed down." "I thought that it was usually men who wore these costumes..." "I'm sure any woman who's willing to put this thing on must be plain with no sex appeal." "You're dead!" "Beware of Wild Chicken" "No longer allowed on the premises!" "What?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Isn't that obvious?" "!" "You attacked the guest and tried to strangle him!" "Do you think that's allowed around here?" "!" "But..." "That's because he tried to... pull my head off..." "Shut up!" "At least it happened while we were showing the tape." "All that remains is Fuwa's mini-concert and the ending." "Which means you're no longer needed!" "Get outta here!" "That can't be..." "Wait!" "Why..." "Why am I the only one wrong here?" "! but he's the one who attacked me in the second half!" "Wasn't everyone watching?" "Yet I'm the only one who gets in trouble and not allowed to enter..." "This just isn't fair!" "But is that just how the rules of showbiz work? and I'm an unknown rookie? I have to go..." "Over there..." "Where it's shining..." "Looks like this'll end without any further incident." "Bridge Rock." "This is the pits..." "The pits..." "The absolute pits!" "I'm no longer allowed on this TV station because of him!" "I've lost my opportunity to shine before I've even debuted!" "but twice..." "Plain with no sex appeal." "To my face!" "And yet..." "Why do I still think he looks cool?" "!" "Stupid!" "Stupid!" "I'm so stupid!" "I'm so stupid!" "I deserve to be in more pain!" "The person playing Bo?" "Didn't she go home already?" "she was just a girl they found because the original actor was injured." "I see." "well." "Even if that was Kyoko I won't be caught by someone like you." "Where am I?" "A-And..." "How come I have to run into the second-to-last person in the world" "I don't want to see when I'm feeling so depressed?" "!" "I'll leave before he notices me." "He has a pretty serious look on his face." "I wonder what happened." "that doesn't matter!" "I need to get out of here pronto!" "Right..." "It'd be really bad if he found out I was in this chicken suit..." "Squeak" "No!" "You there!" "No way!" "He's talking to me!" "Wh-Why?" "Do you have a moment?" "stop it!" "I'm just a chicken passing through." "What could a person at the pinnacle of the showbiz world like yourself possibly want with a mere chicken?" "Wait." "I'm sorry to have startled you. but there's no one I can rely on right now." "could you lend me a hand?" "What..." "What happened to him?" "Excuse me." "Well..." "If it's within my power..." "What a lifesaver..." "Could you lend me your cell phone then?" "I left mine at home." "I'm terribly sorry." "Sorry..." "I don't have one." "Why is he so depressed about this?" "Excuse me..." "Doesn't your manager carry a cell phone? but his phone is in the shop because it isn't working for some reason..." "What do you need to do that requires you to borrow someone else's phone?" "Spiral Forest" "A script?" "Are there words in the script you need to look up?" "As if." "Tsuruga Ren." "It couldn't possibly be something so silly." "right?" "You're the one who told me that." "the irony." "Ohoho I would have believed your denial!" "You can't fool me." "the script had words you didn't know!" "Tsuruga?" "!" "Definitely right!" "No doubt about it!" "Guaranteed!" "I told you that wasn't it..." "You trying to smile it off?" "but you can't fool me!" "I know." "'Fess up!" "'Fess up!" "Your smile reflects the opposite of how you feel! you have a brilliant fake smile on your face in contrast." "the brighter your..." "I-I pissed him off!" "Wh-Wh-What do I do?" "!" "How could you tell?" "No..." "This is the first time I've seen him so blatantly angry." "No!" "I-I'm sorry!" "I was saying mean things because I hate you!" "S-So scary... excuse me." "I found that to be a clever reason." "He's laughing?" "right?" "I like it." "It's the first time in my life someone's told me they hate me to my face." "Um..." "You're not mad anymore?" "Mad?" "Why?" "Didn't you just apologize?" "But that was..." "I don't believe there's any need to be mad at someone who's sincerely apologized." "That seems like a really mature way of thinking." "I'm partially to blame for being the kind of person who hides things." "That's true..." "Did you really just happen to guess right?" "I-I just had this feeling!" "Forget it." "It doesn't matter." "I ended up spilling it all." "He might not be what I was expecting..." "Would I have been able to say that if I were in his position?" "Everybody has a secret they don't want other people to know." "So do I..." "You were abandoned by Fuwa!" "Mogami?" "If I were faced with that..." "No way!" "So cruel!" "I'm so cruel!" "I'm like the devil!" "Tsuruga!" "Please make me human!" "Allow me to help you to atone for my sins!" "calm down!" "Spiral Forest and they told you a scene had been changed and handed you this script." "So which part do you not understand?" "80% of people in the country should know it." "So I wanted to research it on my own..." "So which part don't you get?" "It's like he was dancing to their tune... That must have been rough." "So do that?" "But I have no idea how rough the tune was." "Huh?" "then I should act surprised." "then I should sound amused." "I feel like the nuance of my line rests on their tune." "Wait a tick." "D-Don't tell me this guy's... I won't know how to respond." "H-Hold it in..." "So could you tell me?" "What kind of tune do they mean?" "Can't... hold it in... any longer..." "There's no need to laugh that hard." "Sorry." "Sorry." "It's rare to see such a huge misunderstanding." "But you've never heard this phrase after living in Japan for twenty years?" "Yeah..." "I guess it isn't that commonly used..." "So bright..." "I just remembered something bad." "there." "I forget about my work." "I go out of control." "that's good." "Thank you very much! will I ever make it up to where it's shining?" "What's wrong?" "Feeling a little anemic." "It's because you've been wearing that thing for so long." "You should take the head off..." "Don't you feel sick?" "so I want to wear this a little longer... you'll never be able to make it big." "What would you know?" "You've never lost your job!" "I have." "Stop showing off." "Why would I?" "trying to make it big fast." "I was fired for not listening to the director." "that and this..." "He has such a past?" "I'm surprised." "I always thought he'd been a hit the second he debuted." "So he also endured plenty of failure when he first started..." "Say..." "Why doesn't anyone talk about your past as a struggling actor when you're a top star now?" "That's something the press would never ignore." "Maybe you were aiming to be a star in Hollywood back then?" "Huh?" "that pisses me off!" "Even more than if he were to call me an idiot!" "Did I hurt your feelings?" "I apologize." "so it's gotten to be a habit." "there he is!" "we need you for rehearsal!" "OK!" "See ya!" "It was stupid of me to even ask!" "I'll never be able to get along with him!" "everybody's gone." "I'll sneak home while I can..." "Hey." "What?" "Why is he here?" "Is the cat out of the bag?" "!" "Your help with my lines today was a big help." "Thanks." "That's all I wanted to say." "Bye." "The reason my heart was pounding polite smile." "I don't get it." "I really don't get that guy." "He's unbelievably scary when he gets mad." "Yet he makes hilarious mistakes." "Much more mature than I had thought..." "And... maybe I can get along with him." "too." "I don't feel depressed anymore." "That's right..." "This is the first time I've cheered up without Corn's stone." "I won't make it in the world of showbiz!" "All right!" "I'll do my best again tomorrow!" "Her Open Wound" "See you next time!" "we'll get through it." "But pretending to be clumsy and turning tail is not an option." "Though I'm sure you know that already." "We're not afraid of blowing our last chance." "and affection will all find their remedies someday. so I lie to myself that everything is A-OK." "But something inside me is about to burst and tears will come flowing out." "Unable to be honest." "Unable to put on my true face. no one will ever understand my feelings." "in fact it hasn't even begun!" "I haven't given up yet." "I have yet to fully appreciate the joy of what it means to be me." "my future awaiting." "All those tear-filled days are over." "We're going to be strong once again." "But pretending to be a coward and turning tail is not an option." "Though I'm sure you know that already." "we'll get right back up." "Your voice will guide me as I continue journeying onward." "looking up at the sky." "There was one star in particular that shone more than the rest." "saying "dreams are just that - dreams." "But looking at that star fiercely burning gives me renewed vigor!" "I can find comfort in the frigid winds." "They give me the push I need to advance!" "I will change the world!" "I'll make lemonade!" "I'll use all my heart-pounding anxiety regarding my future and sprout myself some wings!" "My star will soar so high that no one can touch me!" "Shining like a star!"
