Huh?
That smell...
I know it,
Just so you know, Tsubaki and I are in a relationship.
You thought I was sleeping!
Ouch...what?
I heard you say we were in a relationship.
What do you mean?
Should I change my hairdresser?
Shouldn't Reiko-san be the one to change?
You know...
I heard you're chasing after the Uwajima family's fortune.
I'm the one who's going to marry into that family, so give it up.
Huh?
Is that you in the picture?
That's right. It's Sasaharaa Tsubaki.
Get rid of those shoes you were just wearing.
What? Or don't wear them for the rest of your life.
And don't go anywhere near water.
If it gets leaked, it means I have something that could get you in trouble.
It's in your nature to help those in front of you, isn't it?
It's how I was saved, too.
I told you to stay away from the water.
Hmm...
I'm admired by so many people.
I even have friends...
There's no reason for me to be lonely.
Why are you in my dreams?
Please keep coming back from time to time.
How did that thing go?
Yes.
I've taken care of the matter.
I see.
Did you make sure no one saw you?
Of course.
Go after him.
If the saliva or blood from the people from Earth mixed with yours...
your life would be at stake, wouldn't it, Sensei?
The Next Morning Tokyo Bay Coast
Good morning. Good work.
Thank you.
Oh, you've already arrived, Natsume-chan?
Ono-san you are late.
And please stop using "chan".
I've asked you many times, haven't I?
I get careless. I'm an old man after all.
Oh!
The actress Bando Reiko?
I used to like her a lot.
The coroner's report says she probably drowned.
There's no sign of assault.
There was a wedding party for a famous man last night.
It seems she was there as well.
She probably had a good time, drank too much alcohol.
She must've fallen into the sea.
I've almost died from drunkenness many times myself.
This case is accidental death, no mistake about it.
No, it's not an accident yet.
How is this not an accident?
What's your evidence? I don't have it.
But we still haven't found a witness to the fall.
Rookie, no matter how much you investigate, it's still going to be an accident.
Ah... Power harassment.
Kids these days are always saying there's harassment everywhere.
Today...
in Tokyo's Coast Bay, a body was found.
It's been confirmed that she's the actress Bando Reiko.
Bando-san...
was attending an acquaintance's wedding party.
The police have been unable to reach her since around midnight...
The police are investigating the cause of the accident...
Bata-yan
Bando Reiko's suicide note?
It was left in the waiting room at the venue.
It's probably the last room Bando Reiko was in.
"I'll never forgive that woman."
Who's "that woman"?
That actress, Sasaharaa Tsubaki.
Sasaharaa Tsubaki? How do you know it's her?
Last night...
we got an eyewitness report that she was arguing with Bando Reiko.
A feud between actresses.
The tabloids will be all over it.
I understand.
The autopsy results are in.
Drowning.
We believe she overdosed on sleeping pills and anti-nausea medication.
She was taking them before she fell into the water?
Yes.
And one more thing... the deceased was pregnant.
Pregnant?
Bando Reiko was pregnant. She was having trouble with her man.
She threw herself into the ocean.
She had a grudge against Sasaharaa Tsubaki.
The reason for her suicide was because the father of the child inside Bando Reiko's belly...
Sasaharaa Tsubaki took him from her?
Okay, solved.
This is suicide due to a love affair.
In this world, when you're on the downswing and don't get noticed, it's over.
Don't you think Reiko-san understands that all too well?
S told me she was embarrassed in front of the customers at the hair salon.
Reiko-san's manager in charge
Was Reiko Bando's suicide caused by a disagreement with the female actor S?
Even at the party, Reiko said S was wearing the same high heels as her.
She was she was sarcastic about it.
Actress Reiko Bando dies, possible suicide due to feud with popular female actress S?
The cause of the suicide was a feud with S, a popular actress with whom she had a rivalry.
Yes.
Did you see the news? Bando Reiko passed away.
I saw her at the event last night...
I didn't think she would commit suicide...
Tsubaki's not answering her phone at all.
Everyone is blaming her for the suicide.
Do you think she might have killed herself as well?
Don't interfere, you're just an ordinary person.
Leave it to the police.
I drank too much...
How did I get home yesterday?
Oh, no, I can't remember.
Eh? What's all this...
Did I do something wrong again?
Hello, Bata-yan?
We start filming tonight, right?
Haven't you seen the news yet, Tsubaki-san?
No, I just woke up.
Bando Reiko is dead!
What? The police wants to interview you.
I turned them away because I said you weren't feeling well, but...
the media will be rushing over, so get out of there immediately!
The police? Questioning?
Why do I have to be interviewed by the police?
Tell me the story! Tell me!
I'll tell you why later. Just get out of here now!
I'll pick you up in 15 minutes!
What's going on?
I just left my apartment. Where should I go?
We're in the underground parking lot. Get down now!
Got it.
That's not good! A reporter just took the elevator upstairs!
What?
Go back to your room!
I'll let you know when to leave!
I'm depending on you!
Anyway, why do I have to run?
Hello, Bata-yan? Hello?
What?
Oh, no...
[Incorrect code]
What was wrong with me when I decided the number?
Toyama-sensei, you're there right?
School's closed today, right? I'll keep beating until you open the door!
Ah, there you are!
3001...here!
You don't have permission to be here. Please leave.
If I leave now, it'll be like jumping naked into a beehive.
Please help me.
Can I get something to eat?
Excuse me.
I've been here before, right?
That time too, on your own accord.
I was too drunk to remember.
I see. The layout is different from mine.
Are your parents rich?
There's no way a university lecturer could afford to live alone in a place like this.
Sorry to break your bubble, I bought the place myself... in cash.
No way, no way.
Not unless you won the lottery.
Ugh...
I'm sorry to bother you, but isn't it really hot in this room?
Is the air conditioner broken by any chance?
It's not on.
What? Are you saving money on the air conditioner by any chance?
No, you stingy, miserly man.
It's not because I'm stingy. It's because I don't need it.
You do need it. You can get heat stroke indoors.
What kind of physical constitution do you have?
You're the one with the peculiar constitution that talks a lot when you're hungry.
Oh, I forgot.
I'd like the deli at Meidi-ya or the yakiniku bento at JoJo-en.
Order it from Uber.
Order it yourself.
But...
My phone battery's dead.
A cup of ramen is fine then.
"Fine"?
No, thank you for the ramen.
Wow!
A ramen collector?
Pick one,
but...
only one.
Why did she commit suicide?
Why did she have to choose to kill herself?
Why did she have to do it?
[Comments calling Sasahara a murderer]
The person who is said to hold the key to this...
is the popular actress Sasahara...
Call me when you hear this. Mom.
Oh, no!
She's not answering at all!
We're here in front of Sasaharaa Tsubaki's house.
Let's see if she's here.
Sasahara-san, are you there?
Shouldn't we go pick her up?
If we bring her home, the media will follow us.
It's better for her to stay there.
Thank you.
Sensei, are you going to eat?
This is for one person.
Even so. I don't want to eat alone.
Looks delicious.
I'll give you four minutes.
Oh, yeah, let me charge my phone.
A charger? I don't have one.
You don't have one?
Then how do you charge your phone...
I don't have one.
What? You don't have one?
I didn't know there were people like that nowadays.
Then how do you keep in touch with your friends?
You don't even have a land line phone.
Ah, I'm sorry.
It's not nice to say this to someone who doesn't have any friends.
I do have friends!
I use a pay phone when I have to go out.
They call the university.
That sounds like a lot of trouble...
Back in the day, there were no cell phones or social networking sites.
But people didn't feel the slightest bit of inconvenience
A few sentences, a few seasonal greetings.
There was a sense of care and attention to detail.
In the old days? When were you born...
Nowadays, miss one cell phone call, one text message, and you're out of touch.
It's like we've forgotten what it means to be civil.
Uhh... You're a modern man, aren't you?
If you didn't have a cell phone, you wouldn't have a cell phone addiction.
You don't have to search for your reputation like someone else and feel depressed about it.
You know, I was just a little tired that day.
I'm not depressed at all.
I'm what everyone wants to be, Sasaharaa Tsubaki.
Once I wear it...
The same clothes, bags, and accessories sell out fast.
I have contracts with 11 commercial companies.
In Bando Reiko's suicide note,
she wrote about her painful feelings,
towards the popular actress, S.
Suicide note?
Popular actress S?
The police believe Bando-san...
suffered from a feud with this actress...
Why does that face...
look like mine?
What?
We're standing in front of Sasaharaa Tsubaki's house.
It's been over four minutes.
You're not eating?
I lost my appetite.
If you not going to eat, please leave.
I don't want to go home.
I'm sure my mother will say something.
I can't even stay in a hotel.
The press will be all over me. I'll be in trouble.
I can't even get a friend.
There's nowhere I can go...
You will not sit with me when I eat.
What?
That's a condition of being here. Can you keep it?
Yes.
No unnecessary questions.
I won't.
No touching things without permission.
You have no idea how valuable these things are.
Priceless? It's just old-fashioned stuff.
I won't touch it. I promise.
We will keep at least a 1 meter distance from each other.
What if you can't resist my charm?
No singing.
If you can even call it that.
What about humming?
I'll be careful.
If you break any of these rules, you will be expelled immediately. Understood?
Yes, sir!
I'm going to eat.
Hmm.. even though it's soggy, it's delicious.
Ah...
This is hard on my old eyes.
Another break?
There's more footage to check.
Last night's party had a total of 50 guests.
There was a strict ID check at the entrance.
The managers and the celebrities' assistants...
I'm guessing no one other than guests were allowed in, right?
Yes, they had a very strict media policy in place.
Then why are we ruling out suicide?
First of all, we found a suicide note that implies suicide.
However, someone might be acting suspiciously, right?
Besides, if Bando Reiko and Sasaharaa Tsubaki were fighting over a man...
That person might have been there.
Don't move your mouth. Move your hand.
Here.
You're cuter when you're quiet, stubborn girl.
That was sexual harassment, with a touch of moral harassment.
Yeah, yeah. That means I can't say anything else?
In any case, check this all the way through.
The USB drive is nowhere to be found?
We've searched the whole hall...
If it gets leaked, it means I have something that could get you in trouble.
It seems the police haven't gotten hold of it yet either.
It's more than likely, someone else took her bag.
Find that person.
Yes...
May I have a word?
What is it?
I can't sleep well on a different bed.
Can you lend me a book?
So reading a book helps you sleep?
Yes. If you please.
What are you doing?
If you show me something like that, I won't be able to sleep.
Huh...
Huh?
"I am a cat"?
By Natsume Soseki. You can read this.
I was hoping for a manga or a more recent book.
Soseki is a very recent writer.
Natsume was around a long time ago, remember?
Did you grow up overseas?
You don't really know much about writers, do you?
You're the one who doesn't know much.
Natsume Souseki. His real name was Natsume Kinnosuke. We were both fighting for the top spot at Imperial University.
He was a very competitive person.
He was so obsessed with his grades that he took pity on me.
I even made him lose on purpose.
Toyama-sensei isn't as popular as you might think.
Huh?
Even though you have the youthful looks,
but your jokes sound like they come from an uncle.
You're mistaken if you think that makes you popular.
You're so boring. Everyone is giving forced smiles
I wasn't joking. Natsume really treated me as his rival.
Okay, okay.
Huh.
Sorry, the number you have dialed is unreachable.
After the beep, please leave a message...
Ah...
Huh...
Tsubaki, why aren't you picking up the phone? Are you OK? Everyone is worried. Did the press look for you? I'll come pick you up. Please call me back.
Are you okay?
There's so much old stuff here.
Do you make money selling these things?
That's so pretty.
"Diary of my last 3 months on this earth"
Last 3 months?
Don't touch that!
You scared me.
It's a nice comb, but...
It hurts.
Let go of me!
I told you not to touch things without permission, so get out.
I'm sorry I broke my promise, but...
But the reporters are still here, right?
If they see me coming out of a guy's apartment at this hour...
I'll get chased even more.
You got what you deserved.
Seriously?
You'll be chased around as Sasaharaa Tsubaki's boyfriend, too.
Worst case scenario, I don't mind. I'm used to it.
But for a normal person, suddenly being in the spotlight,
it can be pretty tough.
Unless you're one of those who craves the limelight,
and thinks "I'm dating a celebrity, I'm so cool!".
But Toyama-sensei doesn't seem like the type.
Apartment 3002...
the apartment next to Sasahara Tsubaki's?
Don't tell me she's next door?
Living in the same apartment as your lover to camouflage your relationship?
Please, just let me stay here a little longer...
I still can't believe it.
Reiko-san, why did you do that?
Do you think you caused Bando Reiko's death?
You saw her at the salon, right?
She's not the kind of person who'd throw herself at me if I said something.
To be honest, we didn't get along. We fought and quarreled a lot.
But at the party, she said she was so happy.
"We're getting married soon."
By the way, something strange happened to me last night.
It was a dream, but it felt real.
Natsume-chan, that's enough already.
No one here looks suspicious.
Ono-san, can you take a quick look...
This person isn't on the guest list.
Oh?
Oh, and this one too.
What? He's gone?
Wait a minute, this person's gone too!
What does this mean?
When this man disappears, Sasaharaa Tsubaki disappears too.
What do you mean?
Could it be that sensei was there at the time?
No...
Of course not.
You couldn't have been there.
It was a dream...
A man in your dream? You must've been thinking dirty thoughts.
No, I kiss all the time.
That's right.
That's right, I kiss all the time.
I've kissed him, and him, and him.
It's all on camera.
That's the first time I've seen that.
Sensei is pretty cute when you smile.
Don't make fun of an adult.
You're embarrassed.
But I understand.
Men like to make themselves taller in front of older women.
Huh...
The breeze feels nice.
I've been cooped up all day.
It feels like everything is false.
Reiko's death...
How I'm being talked about like that.
Don't you think she's pretty?
I decided to move here because I can see her every day.
The fact that her face appears there is proof that she's a top star.
When I'm trolled on the Internet and feel hurt.
Or when I'm depressed or worried about work.
I see that and it comforts me.
I think, "I've worked so hard to get to this point."
That's how I've gotten through everything on my own.
I'll show you a better way.
Don't give, don't take, don't expect anything from anyone.
That way, you won't be disappointed.
Even your friends?
Your family, your siblings?
Isn't it lonely to think like that?
It's like surviving on a deserted island by yourself.
You know?
What did you mean by "last 3 months" in that notebook?
Sensei, are you going away soon?
Huh...
Is it like a chronic disease...
or something like that?
No questions allowed.
Even though I'm just your neighbor, I still worry.
Don't worry about others, worry about yourself.
Shopping list of various items
What?
You're hiding Tsubaki-san?
I thought you went to rescue her, but...
It just happened. I had no choice.
Huh...
You're a kind person at heart, Sensei.
Well...
I'm sure you're having trouble eating, too.
By no means, am I softhearted.
What's that?
Some shopping...
she asked me to do.
A lady has asked you to do the shopping.
Oh, 30 years, no...
Probably the first time you've done that in 400 years.
For a house guest, she is quite a handful.
"I want to eat this." "Go get that."
She talks to herself a lot.
Maybe it's her profession, but she thinks it's natural to mistreat others.
Ha, ha...
I haven't seen that look on your face in 30 years.
Could it be...
Perhaps... the image of Kiyo-san, whom you left 400 years ago...
overlaps with Tsubaki-san?
I haven't slept this well in a long time.
Hey!
Toyama-sensei?
You're not here?
Could it be...
Perhaps... the image of Kiyo-san, whom you left 400 years ago...
overlaps with Tsubaki-san?
Side Story #3
"Sweets."
"Charger."
"Playing cards"?
"A toothbrush with soft bristles."
"A face wash that doesn't leave my face feeling tight."
"Shampoo that doesn't make my hair brittle."
Huh...
That's a lot to ask.
"Gentle on the lips..."
Oh...
Oh, uhm...
Yes.
Where can I find lip balm that's gentle on the lips?
What?
Behind the scenes
We have a new development...
"My Love From The Stars"
On the set...
We've also got a surprise for you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday, Dear Mizuki!
Are you singing?
Yes, I'm singing.
Happy birthday to you.
Thank you very much.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
From everyone. -From the show.
I'm so happy.
I didn't know what I would do if you celebrated while I was still at work.
I'm so happy. -I'm so happy.)
That day, Yamamoto-san had to try out costumes for a scene to shoot.
Oh, that was interesting.
There are so many cute costumes.
I wondered why I was being dressed up today (on my birthday).
I came here this morning thinking that, so I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
How old are you? I'm 30 years old.
30 years old! Thirty!
30. Yes.
I'm going to do my best, in my thirties.
Congratulations!
You should've dressed him up. It would've been fun.
No way.
Next, this one.
(Director) What are you doing?
Okay, okay, okay.
Is it hot in here?
Come here for a minute.
What is it?
Okay, okay, cue!
Ladies and gentlemen, next week on August 1st.
August 1st will be Kudo Asuka's 30th birthday.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Sorry, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much really.
Thank you very much.
Next week... or this week? I'll be...
I'll be 30.
Whoa! It's a milestone for me.
Both as an actor and as a man.
I'd like to devote myself to one thing at a time.
There's a senior in front of me, so I'll be watching his back.
I'll do my best while looking up to him.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Excuse me...
I was surprised... at what happened.
I was so surprised.
That's right. It's so early.
Okay, send another tab.
It's Yamamoto Mizuki's birthday.
We have a surprise for her, too.
Okay.
Let's do one cut.
Itao Itsuji
Tomorrow, July 18th, will be his birthday.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you.
Happy Birthday, Dear Itao
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Well, tomorrow, I'll be 58 years old.
Thank you very much.
I was surprised. Yes.
What's this? It's in two parts.
Coffee?
Oh, thank you.
It's high quality coffee. I love coffee.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. Congratulations.
Congratulations.)
Before we start the dry run...
And this person too...
Yes, today, August 28th...
is Fukuhara Haruka's 23rd birthday!
Wow!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
What?
(Yamamoto) For the first time, I feel like the surprise was a success.
Thank you.
What is it?
I'm turning 23.
(Fukuhara) I'm so happy
(Fukuhara) I'm 23 and I will do my best.
I'll be rooting for you.
I look forward to working with you until the end.
That's all for today.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Congratulations.
In episode 3, the actress who played Reiko,
Kinami Haruka...
This is the day she was cranked-up (last day of shooting).
And with this cut...
Kinami Haruka as Bando Reiko is all done.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much.
Sorry you're soaking wet.
I'm sorry. -It's my pleasure.
I'm sorry for interrupting the scene.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry to interrupt your scene. Thank you.
Q. Tell us about your role
Anyway, it's like...
I'm kind of a villain.
To be honest, I don't think she has a good personality.
I've only met Mizuki-chan.
Q. After the shoot
Fukushi-kun, too, only briefly.
We worked together once, about 10 years ago.
But that time, Fukushi played an alien*. (*Starman)
We've only met as aliens.
I thought that was really rare.
"You're playing an alien again?" That's how I felt.
Basically, it's a very heartwarming love story.
But there's a darker side to it as well.
I think it's a highlight of the story.
I hope you'll all be on the edge of your seats as you watch.
And, action!
Tsubaki's rival...
What is the secret behind Reiko's death?
Stay tuned for episode 4 of "My Love From The Stars."
