I'm sorry about tomorrow... There's a filming break.
- On the day before? - That's right.
I already called them to confirm
and they said they hadn't heard anything about a WOWOW show.
- What, you didn't tell them properly? - I told them, of course.
But they thought it was on the 9th of July, so they okayed it.
They insist that if they knew it would be for WOWOW,
they would never have rented it.
Okay. Okay.
Ryoma, is it okay?
I'm coming in.
Ryoma. Ryoma.
Ryoma, wake up!
What? Are you... Are you awake?
Ah... You know, today I heard that they're taking a break for tomorrow.
Really?
Ah... Okay, okay okay. You have 15 minutes to rest and then we're done.
Hey? Okay.
ECOTV Presents
Ryoma Takeuchi's filming break
Hello.
- Hey... Excuse me. - Yes?
I'm thinking of making a spice curry,
but I'm not sure which one I should buy.
- Is this your first time in a restaurant like this? - I guess so, yes.
- What kind of curry do you make? - What kind? Hmm...
- Something kind of... spicy. - What did you buy?
- Meat? - It's chicken meat.
Ah... Then you can do anything.
Kaoru's
Eh... You can do Indian, Thai European, African,
Spice
Kaoru's
Spice
Curry
- Then Indian... - Japanese style...
Indian, huh? Which part, North or South?
North or South?
You know, the kind that's either smooth and soupy or rich and thick.
Ah... Well, I don't know, something smooth
but rich in flavor would be...
You want an original?
Yes.
Smell this.
Excuse me.
- Yes. - Cumin.
This smells like curry.
You know, it makes your brain feel like it's spreading softly, right?
It's the basic spice in curry.
In medieval Europe, the cumin was a symbol of chastity and it was customary
to carry it in one's pocket at a wedding.
Eh... It's kind of romantic.
Ah... Are you okay with spicy food?
Yes. Well, I'm pretty okay.
Then let's make it spicy with the garam masala.
Yes, it's sweet.
Sweet but strong.
It's like vanilla, but more exciting.
Spices, you know, they all have personalities.
Eh, I see.
You can smell all you want.
Thank you very much.
This is...
- Excuse me, what spice is this? - Huh?
Oh, my God! Are you okay?
- Can you see? - Yes. Yes, I can see.
- Excuse me for a moment. - Yes.
It stings.
- Let me see. - Yes.
Yes, I don't think they got in your eyes.
- What is this? - Habanero.
- What? - No, thank goodness.
You know, It'll be a pain if they get in your eyes.
No, I should be more careful.
I'm sorry.
Your face is a bit red.
A mole.
Here.
Ah... I'm sorry.
Why don't I make it for you here?
- Eh? - The curry. I'll teach you how to do it as an apology.
Okay. Eh? Is that okay?
It's settled.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
- You're big. - I'm sorry. I'm pretty big, right?
Eh? You're pretty good at it.
I cook my own meals, you see.
So on my days off, I will take the whole day to cook.
Hmm... You're cool, but you're surprisingly simple on your day off.
No... I don't know about that.
- How's that? - Yeah, that's good.
Excuse me for a second.
Do you live nearby? You pass by the restaurant sometimes.
Yes. It's been on my mind. The restaurant.
Um...
- Ah, I don't think we've been properly introduced, right? - I'm sorry, yes.
- I'm Kaoru. - Kaoru-san.
Yes, Kaoru.
And you are?
Ah... I see. You don't know who I am.
Eh?
No, no, I'm Takeuchi.
- Takeuchi-kun, right? - Yes.
Yeah, it's kind of appetizing.
Right? That's what cumin is. Heat opens up the aroma.
It does open up, doesn't it?
Earlier, when I said that cumin is a symbol of chastity...
It's just, brides who can cook well with cumin are more likely
to keep their husbands around and not cheat on them.
I see.
It's silly, isn't it?
If I just used cumin to keep him around,
he never would've cheated on me.
Don't you think so?
No... Sorry about that.
It's hot, isn't it?
Excuse me.
- Hello! Hello.
Sorry.
- Ah, thank you. - No, no, no.
Thanks.
- Yeah, a little more. - A little more.
Let's put it in.
Excuse me.
Yeah...
Yeah... Hmm?
- Still no flavor. - It doesn't have one.
Ah, I see.
Yeah, but it feels good.
Yeah, it's good.
- Just keep mixing. - Yes.
And then, the chicken, some carrots and some bay leaf.
- Put two on there from the shelf. - Okay.
- And this. - This?
- Yeah, put it all in. - All of it?
Yes.
Here.
Hmm...
How old are you, Takeuchi-kun?
- I'm twenty-seven. - Ah...
- Twenty-seven, huh? - Yes.
- What were you doing back then? - I was in India.
- India? - Yes.
- Then, you're in year of the rooster. - Yes.
Same.
Do you watch movies and dramas, Kaoru-san?
- Hmm... I don't watch that much. Why? - Really?
No, I was just wondering if you're into something.
- I don't understand. - I see.
Yes.
What shall we do for the next 15 minutes?
- Fifteen minutes. - Yeah.
Do you want to move around a little bit?
Move around?
That's all I can teach you about curry.
- So? - Okay.
Tighter.
Is that your favorite?
- Eh? - You wore it about three days ago.
Yeah, I guess so.
No, I can't.
Can I take it off for a second?
Okay.
So hot.
Eh... You have a great body.
Sometimes I'm a little more tight.
- Depending on the job. - Job?
Yes, I mean, the role.
You don't know? Don't you watch TV?
Hmm... It broke down a long time ago.
I don't watch it very often, so I haven't bought a new one.
I see.
Eh?
AH! This is impossible.
No, I can't.
- I'll twist it. - It's tight.
You don't stink at all.
No, I'm pretty sweaty.
Yeah, but I don't smell anything.
Really?
I see.
- Wow. Smells good. - Would you like to taste it?
- Is that okay? - Yes.
- Wow. That's good. - Perfect.
- It's good. - It's delicious, isn't it?
- Wow. Success. Success. - There it is.
Yes?
I'm home.
- Tell me when you are coming home. - No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Ah, a customer.
- Ah, hello. - Hello.
- I'm sorry, my husband. - Ah.
- I'm sorry for intruding. - Ah, no, no.
It's always so sudden.
- I'm going to go get changed. - Okay. okay.
- Sorry about that. - No, no.
- Has she made a move on you? - Not at all.
- Did she smell you? - Yes?
- Around here? - Ah...
Yeah, she smelled me.
She has a smell fetish. What did she say?
No, something like... "I don't smell anything".
Eh...
- Are you hungry? - Huh? Yes.
- Shall we eat? - Let's eat. Let's eat.
Curry.
- Help me. - Okay.
- Yes. Coming through. - Yes, yes.
- Ah, I'm sorry. - Ah, it's okay. It's okay.
- Let's eat. - Let's eat.
Let's eat.
- This taste so good. - Hmm!
- Did you make this? - No.
We made this together.
- It's even better than usual. - Hey!
It's always the same when I'm home.
I don't feel like I'm home.
- Um, are you traveling on business? - Hmm? I got relocated.
Well, I haven't been to Japan much, though.
- I met him in India. - Ah... so you're in India.
This is so good.
- Don't you have anything else? - Ah, sorry. Sorry.
So delicious!
I know you.
You're an actor.
Yes, I am.
Eh... You're handsome.
No, no. Thank you very much.
You're famous.
- What? What? - Eh?
- He's an actor. - Eh, really?
- You should've noticed. - He's been on TV a lot, right?
That's pretty much it.
Really? You should have told me!
What was it? Sorry, Takeuchi.
- Ryoma. - Ah, that's right.
Takeuchi Ryoma. Wow! Maybe I should get your autograph.
- Yeah, it's totally fine. - Ah, really?
I've seen a few of your dramas.
Um... that... It's the one with the over-protected girl.
Reference Drama: Kahogo no Kahoko / Overprotected Kahoko (2017)
- Yes. - Was that a while ago?
- That was about three years ago. - Ah, I see.
Eh? Where did you watch it?
Eh? Here.
No, how long ago was that? Because the TV is broken.
Ah. The plane. Plane. Yes, on the plane.
That's an absolute lie.
Hey, he didn't watch it on the plane, right?
No, I don't know.
Hey, it's pointless, right? The cumin, I mean.
- What? - No, it's nothing.
Ah, sorry.
- This is really good. - It's good, isn't it?
I'm glad.
- Hmm! - Yes, it's good.
- Really? - I'm having seconds.
Is this a cabbage?
Yeah, he was absolutely lying.
I made too much, so please take it.
- No, no.. Are you sure? - Ah, you want a bag?
No, I'm just going to take it home with me.
- Okay. - Thank you very much.
- Ah, good luck with your work. - Thanks.
Bye.
Takeuchi-kun!
You don't have to give that back.
That was a delicious meal.
