APOLOGIZE!
I was fired from my job as an elementary school teacher.
Why not work for us?
By accident, I became a manager of an entertainment agency.
But that's where I met him.
They want to include laughter in the next shoot.
I am not lying. Because I hate lies.
Chii-chan!
Huh?
It can't be!
Are you... Soujun Fuji?
Oh, how I've missed you.
Chii-chan, who believes in everything.
When I was young, he deceived me so many times.
He's the source of my trauma.
The worst liar I've ever known.
Oh, my god!
I've always wanted to meet you.
Thank you!
Thanks for always supporting me.
Because of you all, I can do my best at work today.
Everyone has no idea who he is.
Thank you.
I'm sorry. Please, you're gonna be late.
Talk show at 11:00 a.m..
- Good morning. - Morning.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Can we have a tereko meeting between you and Mr. Kume?
- Ah, okay. - Thank you.
Tereko?
Tereko means tape recorder.
He asked us to record the meeting.
Oh, I get it.
I'll just go get changed.
Make sure you take it.
- Yes. - Mr. Kume is here.
- Good morning! - Good morning.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm sorry, for today I was thinking
of setting up a prank on you.
- A prank? - Yes, yes, I wonder if you have any ideas.
A little classic, but we used firecrackers.
Ba-bum!
Wait... W-Why are you recording this?
- I'm tape rec... - No, no!
- Delete it! - But...
- It's called tereko... - What the hell...
Who the hell put this amateur on set?
Damn it!
Tereko means the opposite.
They simply asked me to do a meeting between Mr. Kume and I but in reverse order.
He tricked me again.
I can't take this everyday, I'm gonna quit.

EPISODE TWO
cation has been rejected at this time
Another no...
I heard that you used to be an elementary school teacher.
I was not, but I'm still job hunting in that direction.
I can't believe you got fired in this day and age.
What, did you do something really bad?
It's a long story, so I'll just skip to the end.
Oh, if you're talking about messing up, Mr. Asahina is no stranger to that, right?
No one has a perfect past.
It must have been hard for you, Old Man.
My bad, my bad, Mr. Asahina.
No, I'll just be an old man.
It's rather refreshing,
since I have no intention on visiting my past glories.
You know, Asahina was once a huge national star.
But then, 5 years ago, he was involved in a scandal with a woman, and his career took a nosedive.
He incurred a huge debt for commercial penalties and had this office take care of it for him.
So now he's doing everything from answering phones to cleaning the gym
to steadily repay his debts.
Oh, I see.
Hello, this is Big Storm? Weekly Gossip.
There are no such facts about that with our talents.
You see, handling scandals,
protecting the talents from the press,
that's the important job of a manager.
I see.
That's right.
Also, if one more scandal involving any of our talent is caught by a weekly photo magazine,
our office will be completely over. - Look who's talking.
It's scary, isn't it? Entertainment scandal.
What?
Hello.
Wow...
Who the hell are you?
I'm sorry!
I thought so, but she's different from the ones before, which means he's three-timing?
Good morning, Chii-chan.
Please stop calling me that.
I'm going to take a quick shower now. Wait for me in the car.
Wouldn't it be a problem if people found out?
What would you do if a weekly magazine
found out about your womanizing?
Oh!
You're starting to sound like a manager now.
Wouldn't it be a big deal if it turned into a scandal?
I haven't done much, you know.
And I told you, didn't I? I said they come to me.
I can't be cold to girls.
I knew it, it might not be just three-timing.
Why not focus on one partner at least?
Then it would be like the other day.
It was you, Sena Fujishiro.
It's all your fault!
- Please calm down! - You stay out of this.
And you won't get beaten up by some strange man.
I... see...
Then Chii-chan,
be that partner.
What?
Just kidding.
Go light in Japan is blue instead of green
Look, it's blue.
Now, please tell us about your views on love.
My views on love?
When I'm seriously in love, I can only see that one person.
- Really? - Huh?
That's how I am with the people I like.
Wow, how lucky it is to be Mr. Fujishiro's girlfriend.
- Liar. - And finally,
what are your future goals, Mr. Fujishiro?
Yes.
Regardless, I just have to do each job to the best that I can.
That's exactly the image I got from Giga Rider.
Please stay as our idol forever.
Of course. I will always be every girl's heartthrob.
Thank you very much!
I'm really sick of him.
I don't want to spend every single day with that lying bastard.
But, you know, being a manager, you get to meet a lot of celebrities, right?
This is getting surprisingly fun.
Being a manager is not for me.
I want to go back to teaching,
but I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to look for a job.
I thought that would be the case.
Seeking Teachers
Here.
What's this?
I asked a teacher I know at a cram school,
and she said they just had a vacancy and could interview you.
Miku, thank you!
Then today's on me.
- Are you serious? - I want to say that,
but I'm waiting and saving for the move.
Right... So did you find one?
I found a cheap apartment on the Internet.
- What? - Look!
Riverside Orito
- Tokyo Room Real Estate? - Yes.
- Never heard of it. - Look at this.
- It's really cheap. Nice. Nice. - Right?
Good morning!
- Machiko! - Producer Aida, hello.
- Hello. - Our Ayumi Kurio is currently
working hard as the heroine of a morning drama.
Also, Sena Fujishiro's Giga Rider,
which was well received, is coming along nicely.
If you have a good role for him, please let us know.
Please do.
- I'll get back with you. - Thank you.
Ah!
I have to go to Ayumi's set.
The only one left is Producer Sugiyama.
Take care of it.
What? Just me?
I can't, I can't.
Thank you and bye...
Excuse me...
I'm Saejima from Big Storm.
I would like to ask you to cast Sena Fujishiro for a drama, please...
Then put it here.
I will also leave DVD and goods.
Please excuse me.
Mr. Sugiyama!
Hello!
Thank you for taking care of our Nemi Mori the other day.
Takagi, you've come at the right time.
I just got a casting call for the next Friday 8:00 p.m. slot.
He acted differently towards me.
Um, excuse me.
I'd like to ask you to cast Sena Fujishiro for the drama that you just mentioned.
You're still here?
Okay, there's an audition right now.
Thank you very much.
Please excuse me.
Big Storm is really done sending out an amateur like that.
I heard that their business is struggling.
The case of Reiji Asahina still has them reeling.
I can do it, too.
Oh, a suspect role.
Audition for movie actors
[Application Guidelines]
Role: Young suspect
The scene is expected to be one scene with dialogue.
Number of people to be selected: 1
Age: Male, 18-25 years old
His image is that of the side of justice, though.
How is everyone?
Maybe this one suits him better than I thought.
- What the hell is this? - What?
Producer Sugiyama gave it to me,
was I not supposed to take it? - It's not your fault.
That Sugiyama bastard thought you were an amateur and gave you this.
- How rude. - Hmm, what is it?
Oh, yes, I see.
Look, in the role section, it says "young suspect," right?
The lack of a name in the role means it's a small role.
And look closely, this is an audition for a movie, not a drama.
Only one scene
with one dialogue. - But I did say
I wanted Sena Fujishiro to be a regular in a drama.
What is it?
Did Ms. Saejima get me a job?
No, it's not the kind of audition you should take.
Well, did you grab it fast enough?
It happens a lot when you're new.
Don't worry about it. Everything is a challenge.
I'm sorry, I just thought it'd be unexpectedly interesting to have Mr. Fujishiro
play the role of a suspect. I suddenly had an image of it.
What are you talking about, amateur?
Listen, actors have a certain rank, you know.
There are jobs you can and can't take.
- Rank? - Everyone is free to do whatever they want
in public, right?
However, in this world, you just can't do whatever you want.
Sena played the lead role in Giga Rider.
Our next target is to be a regular in a golden serial drama.
GOLDEN
SERIAL DRAMA
REGULAR
Up to about second or third.
I don't want to be cheap now.
I'm terribly sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
No, it's my fault for letting you take care of it in the first place.
I'm also responsible for putting the office into a corner by making the president pay my debts.
No, no.
No matter how short-staffed we are, it's my fault for making her the manager.
Yes, it's the president's fault.
I knew I wasn't cut out for this.
Hello, Miku?
The interview for that cram school you referred me the other day,
I can do it tomorrow at 1:00 p.m..
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
I'll do my best.
I'll keep you posted.
Talk to you later, bye...
Sena Fujishiro
It's my day off today.
- Yes? - Hello, Chii-chan?
- I decided to do yesterday's audition. - Huh?
But Ms. Hara said that it's not the kind of role that you should take. It's a small role.
A small role is still work, right?
- So come to the Seinan Studio right now. - Huh?
It's up to you to audition,
but I'm taking a day off today.
Why? This is the job you got yourself, right?
Besides, didn't you say that I could make an interesting image if I did it?
That's why I was motivated.
Even if you say that, I have something important to do right now.
Okay, fine. I'll go by myself.
Well, a talent without a field manager will be bullied and pushed around by the scouts.
Really?
Then there's no way I'll pass, but I'll do my best.
What the hell are you talking about? I finally have a chance to get another job...
I didn't do it!
No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same,
I don't know, I don't know!
Isn't that Sena Fujishiro?
Why did he come to this?
Actually, this work is bad for Giga Rider.
Excuse me.
I didn't do it!
I don't know, I don't know!
You're late.
Mr. Fujishiro!
There's no other manager here.
Now, numbers 11 through 13, please.
He tricked me again.
Okay, Mr. Fujishiro, please go ahead.
Thank you.
On my cue.
And... action.
I didn't do it!
No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same,
I don't know, I don't know!
Please believe me.
Hey.
You're all I've got.
I can't...
be arrested now.
Amazing.
Cut!
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you.
Sena Fujishiro.
He can act like that.
The rest of it is just too much.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Fujishiro!
A great role has come to you.
Please sit down.
Waltz in the Dusk
This is the movie, right, the one where he plays the suspect?
No, he plays the son of the lead actress, Suzuka Isshiki. It's a leading role.
What!?
If he does this role,
there won't be any criticism of his performance.
That's good.
But why did Producer Sugiyama
suddenly change his mind and send it to us so quickly?
True. Why is that?
Actually, I did that audition.
What? You took it?
Then, afterwards, Director Shirasaki called me and talked about everything, and I guess that's it.
- Did you know about this? - Yes.
Thanks to Ms. Saejima, I was able to get back to the basics.
Thank you.
It's okay.
Good job.
Indeed, there are no roles too big or small.
- It's all about the challenge. - It's the opposite of what you said the other day.
Good job.
I knew what I saw was right. I knew you were suited to be a manager.
I didn't do anything, it was because of Mr. Fujishiro's acting.
You've motivated Sena.
That's an excellent work of a manager.
Is it?
What do you say? Can you continue for a little while longer?
Yes, I can. I tried to quit, but I had to skip the interview at the cram school.
I see.
We should head in that direction too.
I guess my next star is born.
Well, I hope you're right.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Oh, Sena-kun, I heard.
Congratulations on getting the lead role in the movie.
Thank you.
I have to catch up quickly with the heroine of a morning drama too.
My schedule for the morning drama is really tight.
I want to co-star with you again, Sena-kun.
I'd love to.
If you're going with Sena-kun, you should be a little more fashionable.
You look like a school teacher with that.
So sharp.
Hello, Miku?
I'm, um, I'm about to move out now.
Have you not checked online?
- Huh? - That property is a scam, a scam.
Don't run in the hallway.
That real estate contract you signed got busted for scam.
Scam?
I'll go make a call, I'm fine here.
- Thank you very much. Great work. - Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
What's with this car?
I'm sorry!
I was supposed to move in today,
but it turned out to be an online real estate scam. - Scam?
I guess it was not only my story that Chii-chan believed everything.
Laugh as much as you like.
- For now, this is all I have for today. - So, what are you going to do with all this stuff?
I tried asking my friend to let me leave my stuff at her place, but...
What? Not today. Because my boyfriend is coming today.
She turned me down.
In any case, why don't you just leave your stuff at my place for now?
What?
- Are you sure? - Yeah, it's okay.
It would be embarrassing to be picked up and dropped off in a mini-truck forever.
Thank you very much.
Well, I'll take your word for it and just leave only my stuff.
"...only your stuff." Do you have a place to stay, Chii-chan?
I'll figure something out.
I want to say that,
but I have nowhere else to go.
I see...
At times like this, you have no boyfriend you can rely on.
Yes, I know.
How do you even know about that?
Please leave me alone.
I can't just leave you alone, can I?
Huh?
Chii-chan.
Why don't you just come and live with me?
W--What?
What's with this development?
Ending Theme: Sakurako Ohara - Poppin' Love
From the day I met you, my heart has been fluttering
I've never had this feeling before, and now it's starting to happen
We laughed and ate it, and our memories melted like ice cream
Pretending to forget,
your feelings are the only thing I can't see right now
I am exactly as I am,
so why do you think it's funny?
Someday, you'll be exactly as you are, and pretend to tell me so
It's not fair for you to stomp on my heart,
so let your smoldering love burst out,
英語字幕
because I love you
NEXT EPISODE
- AH! - Surprise!
Hey!
That's enough. I'm sure Sena will be fine.
A turning point for the handsome actor!?
It's gonna be okay. That's Suzuka Isshiki.
Co-star with a great actress!
Flattery. You know, it's really lonely.
So I asked my manager to stay close.
- Good morning, Chii-chan. - I had sex with this lying bastard?
