Keicho era Year 15, (1610)
All over the skies of Japan,
a series of tub-like boats were seen one after another.
Mountains of Edo 1610 (Keicho Era Year 15)
If I don't get home soon... my father will scold me.
No!
Sir, are you...
a messenger from heaven?
400 Years later 2022
It's the morning of the 412th year and 8th day of my life on this planet.
In three months, Comet Moore will make its approach to Earth.
It's the first time in nearly 400 years...
According to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Comet Moore is currently near Jupiter...
Everyone...
Have you ever had that feeling of destiny when you meet someone?
According to one study.
Studies have shown that for both relationships that end in marriage... and relationships that end in breakup...
When you first meet someone, your first impression is:
"This person is special to me."
That's how they felt.
Why?
Why are you leaving me alone?
Why?
How's it going?
It's going well. I've made some corrections.
But there's nothing I can do to stop you.
Because for me...
You've left me with a bitter taste in my mouth!
Bitter taste?
Oh, no!
CUT!
What? Why?
Tsubaki-san!
This isn't "ni ga ji ru"...
It's "ku ju" !
I made a mistake.
Excuse me, please stop taking pictures.
We're filming right now.
In other words, a person's intuition that they're meant to be with someone is unreliable.
Fate/Destiny
There's nothing more unreliable than our intuition.
Don't be fooled by your own intuition.
Why don't you press your floor?
I know why.
Yes, it's me.
They found the address of my old apartment,
so that's why I moved here.
You want my autograph? Or a handshake?
Don't choose. I'll take a special two-shot.
So take your picture and go.
30th floor.
Hey! We haven't finished talking yet...
So you're my neighbor?
I'm Sasahara Tsubaki. I just moved in today.
Could it be...
I didn't think this was possible.
Do you not know who I am?
What?
I have to enter my passcode.
Oh...
There are only two apartments on this floor, right?
So from now on, if you're in trouble, we can help each other.
It's good to get to know your neighbors...
What's with that neighbor? He's so creepy!
Just because he's handsome and stylish, he's so hot.
Ahh, no!
"Ni ga ji ru, LOL"
"If your skin is baby skin, your brain is baby brain."
"Zero general knowledge."
"Stupid actress"?
Why don't you just tell me face-to-face instead of posting here?
Why didn't you tell me you've moved?
Mom...
How did you know where I was?
I asked your manager.
that Bata-yan...
So what do you want?
I need you to transfer this month's living expenses,
to the usual account.
Again? You've already spent this month's money?
I've got a lot on my plate.
The neighbors know I'm your mother, so...
We can't afford to be embarrassed.
It doesn't matter now, I'm already an embarrassment.
You know...
How did you get to live in a room like this?
My perfect...
DNA which you inherited when I gave birth to you.
I'm like my father.
My mom kicked us out the second we ran out of money.
I'm my father's daughter,
His face, his gentle nature, everything.
Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no, no!
The brother and sister are so disrespectful to their parents.
If you're you, then Takuro is Takuro.
Even though he's taking exams, he says he's not going to college.
Wow Sasahara Tsubaki, you're picking fights netizens.
"You can criticize me all you want, but I'll only listen to Buddha."
That's right.
She's even using the proverb wrongly.
She may be an idiot, but she's got the look and the style, right?
Hey.
Ouch! Ouch!
What are you doing?
Ow...
Could that guy be...
A Sasahara Tsubaki fan?
Yes?
What time is it?
Well...
It's inconsiderate to be singing this late at night.
Did you hear me?
I heard this place has perfect soundproofing.
Are you singing badly on purpose?
What?
If it's good, I can forgive it, but...
But unemotional, out-of-tune singing is noise.
It's a crime.
Are you going to call the cops?
She's insane, ignorant, and has the intelligence of a baby,
and she's singing in the middle of the night.
I've had a bad day.
I'm on a diet, so I had to forgo my favorite chicken.
I only ate an apple, broccoli, and a boiled egg.
My total calories are less than a rabbit's.
I'm so tired from all the insults and malicious gossip.
Can't I sing in my own house to relieve stress?
Are you done? I'll be careful from now on.
"She's so beautiful, she's my number one girlfriend."
Why is everyone hitting on me like this?
Does everyone really hate me?
Diary of my last 3 months on this earth
Representative!
Congratulations! -Congratulations!
Brother Masaya, congratulations.
Thank you. Hiroya, you did a great job too.
We've formed a business alliance with TIGRIS, the world's second largest company in the industry.
Now we'll be one step ahead of them in Japan.
It was good timing.
The other side was looking for new possibilities.
I have great respect for you, Masaya.
Even after your brother Fumiya passed away, you've been gradually expanding the company, right?
Without removing the letter F from the name.
There's no way I can remove it.
It's a company that the two of us started together.
All of us here...
hopes your brother Fumiya is happy too...
Tabata-san...
Yukino-san, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
Uhm, is Tsubaki ready yet?
Ah. The image from the scene doesn't match.
She wants to redo her makeup from the beginning.
Oh, I see...
Let me see, Yukino-san's turn will be...
It looks like you'll have to wait another three hours or so.
I'm sorry. Later.
Thank you for your hard work.
"Full coverage special program"?
It's a good opportunity for you to regain your image.
Full coverage special program [The Life of Passion] 3 Hour Special
For example, "I've been out of school for a while, but I've been going to university."
"I'm actually very intelligent."
"I appeal to them with my seriousness"
I've always been a special, one-of-a-kind person.
I don't need to be on a show like that.
In that case, instead of Tsubaki-san, Bando Reiko will be on.
What? Why her?
But Reiko-san's done all the jobs that Tsubaki-san turned down.
Fine, I'll be on that special.
That's great!
This show will be a hit. Thank you.
Filming will start soon, so I look forward to it.
You seem as busy as ever, Tsubaki-chan.
Yukino, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Sure.
A little over here.
Oh, it's Hiroya-kun calling.
Can I answer it? Yes, please.
Put some color in it. Okay.
Hello, Hiroya-kun?
Hmm, it's Yukino, it's been a while.
There's something I wanted to ask you, Hiroya-kun.
Tsubaki-chan?
I'll pass you to her now.
Here...
Hello?
Tsubaki, are you okay? You got trolled on the Internet again.
When you're successful, people hit you just for breathing.
You've known that for a long time, right?
That's right.
Let's eat somewhere next week.
I'll treat you to something delicious, something to cheer you up.
Dinner? Okay.
I'll invite Yukino, too.
The three of us haven't had a drink together lately, so let's have a party of three childhood friends.
Oh, sorry.
I want Tsubaki to come alone that day.
What? Just me?
Good morning, Tsubaki-san. It's nice to meet you.
Good morning.
I haven't been to school in a while, so I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh, I see. I'll be filming you very carefully today.
But, Tsubaki-san...
You're always so beautiful. What's your secret?
I've been told that I have clear, baby skin.
I didn't do anything.
It might be in 4K, so fill in all the open pores.
Hide the wrinkles here, too.
Yes. But keep it natural.
Make it look like I'm not wearing any makeup.
Okay.
After I wash my face today...
After washing my face today, I applied a cream from a company that I've appeared in commercials for.
I just applied a little.
Wow.
Shall we sit over here?
Okay.
Why?
Do you know each other?
The neighbor at my place...
What?
Good morning.
Professor Toyama Mitsuru.
He's a cultural anthropologist from Harvard University.
You're lucky to have such a decent man as your neighbor.
Before the lecture, please submit your report.
Report?
Last week's assignment. I hired a part-time student from Tokyo University.
It's in order.
Way to go, Bata-yan.
Wow!
Sasahara Tsubaki-san.
Yes.
For my report assignments...
You're not allowed to copy any other papers.
I'm not copying anything.
The first article about this topic was in 1994.
Robert Sternberg's "Anthropological Essays on Love and Intimacy."
You copied it word for word.
Eh...
The conclusion is also based on a special contribution by Ochiai Takeshi, published in 1957.
"The Struggle over the Evaluation of Submissive Love."
Therefore...
you get a score of zero.
Let's stop this take. Let's stop.
Do you have any objections?
Please return to your seat.
The lecture will begin.
She got shot down earlier.
In her dramas, Sasahara Tsubaki always flirts with the guy, right?
I know. I'm posting the zero score incident.
That's good. That's good.
Copy...
"She's beautiful. She's my number one girlfriend."
Why is everyone hitting on me like this?
Does everyone really hate me?
Caught copying...
What? -Why?
Did you break it? What?
Okay, I'll talk to you tonight.
Bye.
Masaya's girlfriend?
No way...
No way there's no way...
It's been five years since sister-in-law Risa left you without a word.
Has it been that long already...
Have you heard from her since then?
Not at all.
Are you getting a divorce?
I don't want to but...
I don't think I have a choice.
What? THE Sasahara Tsubaki is living next door to you?
You know her?
The only person in Japan who doesn't know about her is you.
She became popular when she appeared in a soft drink commercial at the age of 17.
Charge of Youth
"Who's that fresh, beautiful girl?"
Everyone paid attention because of that.
But she actually started her career as a child actress.
I know some people have a problem with her acting, but my wife is a fan.
I don't watch anything but the news.
Sensei, you've been living an unapproachable life for 400 years.
To laugh or cry with someone,
I've never seen you do that even once.
Being involved with others causes conflict.
That's why there are wars all over the world.
If the saliva or blood from the people from Earth mixed with yours...
your life would be at stake, wouldn't it, Sensei?
I've gotten used to the fact that my eyesight and hearing are seven times better than yours.
But intimacy... was the only thing I couldn't get used to.
I'm glad you didn't have to get artificial respiration.
Ah! You did it.
You're eating well today.
Is it okay? It's okay.
I can't live without eating.
Is it because of all the uproar?
Hmm...
I guess I need to be stronger...
I guess so...
I have a good suggestion.
Okay, okay... It's probably something trivial anyway.
Tsubaki...
Marry me.
What? You'll be gone in 3 months?
Three months from now, a ship will come with the comet.
In three months, Comet Moore will make its approach to Earth.
It's the first time in nearly 400 years...
I'm going back to my planet.
Diary of my last 3 months on this earth
Huh...
The comet that sensei has been waiting 400 years for...
I knew this day would come, but...
I'll miss you.
You were my one and only friend.
For me, you saved my life.
30 years ago, I kept failing the bar exam and was about to die.
You saved my life that day.
Even if I return to the stars, I won't forget you.
By the way, 400 years ago...
you couldn't return to your planet...
It was because of a tragic incident, wasn't it?
Thank you for your help earlier.
Kiyo doesn't want to go home yet.
Tomorrow, she will marry into the family of a young kimono wholesaler.
My father says she will have a long and happy life.
But...
Kiyo would like to be united with the one she truly loves.
Sir...
May I see you again?
Master, you're mistaken!
I'm sorry, Kiyo.
Many years have passed since then...
Twelve years ago, a strange thing happened to sensei.
I'm sorry.
Is it because of what happened 12 years ago?
Hmm...
My 17th birthday.
Like today, I brought you a present.
You saw it, right?
When my parents fought and I got upset...
I ran away from home that time...
Tsubaki! Where are you going?
At the time, there was a doctor in a Yokohama hospital...
He was a surgeon by the name of Kitano Kenji.
Oh...
The night before, you had a premonition and became curious.
You visited that place, didn't you?
Tsubaki! Where are you going?
Whoa!
Who are you?
You thought that girl you saved 12 years ago...
was the reincarnation of Kiyo-san , don't you?
Whether she's a reincarnation or not...
before I could leave here,
I wanted to see her again if I could.
She looked so much like the Kiyo I let die.
That girl.
I can't remember his face.
I saw him for a moment, and then I blacked out.
When I came to, you were right in front of me...
But...
I still remember the smell of him.
I...
I want to see him one day and thank him for everything.
That's why I kept on trying.
If he really is the one...
I should be able to meet him someday.
Hey, your brother is close to Sasahara Tsubaki, right?
Yeah, thye've been classmates since middle school.
Please don't let him be friends with that woman.
If those two get married, we'll become relatives too.
Relatives?
Because that's what will happen if we get married, right?
Don't get ahead of yourself...
I'm just about to file for divorce.
But you will go ahead with the divorce, right?
If you remarry me, I'll keep quiet about it.
I promise I won't tell anyone.
Besides...
Eternity and a fleeting light
(Tsubaki's voice) Hey...
Why won't it open? That's strange.
(voice announcing input error)
Is the door making fun of me too?
"All you have is your face and your style. Everything else is a zero."
I'm fine with a zero. What's with Harvard?
He's just so hung up on his academic background,
that he can't see what's inside.
Not only Harvard, but Oxford too.
Oh, there he is... the bloodless psycho.
What are you doing barging into my house like that?
Hmm? Go home!
Hey.
Ow...
Don't come in without permission.
I think I drank too much.
Ah!
Huh?
That smell...
I know it,
from somewhere a long time ago...
