What do you think you're doing with my feelings?
The person I love would do something like that,
if you know anyone who wouldn't be pissed off, I'd like to meet them.
This lying thing,
this is the first time I found it so troubling.
I get it now.
I guess...
that means I have to do the real thing for real
from now on.
"The person I love"?
Really?
Wow...
Kagami-kun, you've done it!
The time of Sena Fujishiro has come!
Right?
Thank you very much.
Mr. Sena's potential is beyond this.
We can still go further.
The term "season" is often used to describe a celebrity who has made a breakthrough,
and I don't like it.
Seasons always pass, you know.
Isn't that rude?
- Right? Right? - Yeah. Celebrities are real people!
They're not like fruits and vegetables.
The media treats them as a season to be celebrated,
but as soon as they to decline, they say that their era is over...
As expected,
the old man got real.
So, please continue
taking care of Sena. - I will.
Right, right.
- Saejima-kun. - Yes?
Ayumi has retired,
and Hara-kun has quit the office...
I, Ayumi Kurio,
I'm retiring from acting!
As of today, I'm resigning!
I've been thinking a lot about you,
but for now, you'll be under Kagami-kun and in charge of Sena.
What?
I understand.
Mr. Sena will start filming his first starring role next week,
and if Ms. Saejima tags along on set, that would be great.
With both of your strengths,
you can give Sena a boost! Right?
- Yes. - Yes.
Welcome home, Chii-chan.
I'm home now.
You don't have to be so surprised, you know?
Because we live together.
That is true, but...
The person I love... The person I love...
Well,
I'm gonna go to bed now.
Going to bed already? Isn't it early?
I've been so tired lately.
Hey,
Chii-chan,
did you think about what I said?
I don't know...
It could just be another one of your lies.
I'm serious about all of it.
I even
kissed you, Chii-chan.
Ki--
What did you think about our kiss?
- H--Hold on a second. - What?
For now,
let's just say it was all a lie.
- Just leave it at that, please. - Huh?
I've been assigned to you again.
If this continues,
it will interfere with our work.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
Then, that's what I'll do.
Thank you very much...
NO!!!
Well, good night.

Movie "Amnesia Flower"
Costume Fitting
The lead actor, Sena Fujishiro is here.
EPISODE SEVEN
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Thank you.
Director.
I'm Sena Fujishiro.
Looking forward to working with you. - I'm Inagaki.
Please breathe new life into this work with your fresh charm, Mr. Fujishiro.
I'm counting on you.
Yes! I'll do my best.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Let's look at the photos of the location. - Yes.
Director Inagaki's last film won the highest award at the Montagne International Film Festival,
and he's probably the most popular filmmaker in Japan right now.
Really?
He took notice of Sena's acting in the special drama
and wanted to cast him for the lead role.
I...
love you.
Acting is Mr. Fujishiro's true calling.
Perhaps Ms. Saejima's feelings came through.
Oh, no, I didn't do anything...
I'm just happy that Mr. Fujishiro's acting has been recognized.
The main character is a novelist
trying to regain the love of his amnesiac ex-lover. It's a sensitive role.
If he can pull off this difficult role,
it will be his masterpiece.
Yes.
Ms. Yukino Shirakawa is coming in!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Yukino Shirakawa.
I look forward to working with you.
I'm Sena Fujishiro.
Same here. I look forward to working with you.
I was really looking forward to co-starring with you.
I'm Mr. Sena Fujishiro's manager, Kagami.
I'm Saejima.
Hello.
Where's your manager, Ms. Shirakawa?
I'm sure she'll be here soon.
Good morning.
What?
Ms. Hara?
That kind of approach
is something I would never approve of.
I am
Yukino Shirakawa's manager,
Hara.
You must be kidding.
Mr. Sena Fujishiro,
congratulations on your first starring role in a movie.
I'm sure it's thanks to all the great work
I've chosen you to do so far.
Instead of a congratulatory gift,
our Mr. Shirakawa
will act as your partner.
Please go easy on her.
I had no idea that Hara-kun
transferred to Top Entertainment.
What's more, she's the manager
of Yukino Shirakawa, Sena's co-star... - Yes...
It's not unusual for a manager to move from one office to another,
but this was a surprise. - Yes...
Maybe Top Entertainment got wind of her quitting our office and immediately approached her.
Seeing that she was wearing a designer suit,
she must have gotten a huge contract.
Huh?
Ah, no.
I was sure
Ms. Hara was going to quit as a manager...
I...
failed as a manager!
It's not that easy to quit as a manager.
Once you try it, it becomes a habit.
Discovering and nurturing potential stars and sending them out into the world.
Seeing the talents you've nurtured flourish
brings you blissful joy.
That's why
seeing Sena step into his first zachou this time
makes me happy.
First zachou?
An actor playing the lead in a stage play or movie
is called zachou, which means the head of the troupe.
The head has to lead the scene,
so it's no good if they only think about themselves.
They care about their co-stars, the staff, and others and make the scene more lively.
It's a test of human ability.
- It's a big responsibility... - Yes, it is.
Even for me,
my first time as a lead was quite nerve-wracking.
You too, old man.
- It must be hard for Mr. Fujishiro, isn't it? - Yes.
I think it will be a lot of pressure.
Let's support
Mr. Sena as much as we can
and make the filming location as lively as possible.
Yes.
- We're about to start rolling! - We're start to roll!
Rolling!
And...
Action!
I'm sorry for the wait!
Thank you very much!
Kanae...
Okay!
I'm sorry.
Can we do it one more time?
Excuse me...
Director. One more time, please.
This is from Sena Fujishiro.
Thank you!
- So cute... - It's cute, isn't it?
If Kanae is happy now, that's fine.
That's good enough.
Scene 133, roll 5, take 1.
And...
Action!
Here you go.
I love this flower.
I...
love you.
Cut!
Good take!
Ms. Saejima,
for the treat, shall we bring cream puffs?
I heard there's a famous store nearby,
let's go buy it together.
Great idea.
You like cream puffs, right?
Mr. Fujishiro.
The scene just now was very good.
Oh, really?
Mr. Fujishiro?
Could it be...
The next scene is also a dialogue, right?
If you want, we could have a read-through.
Ms. Shirakawa,
about the next scene... - Yes?
I'm not sure what sort of feelings are best for this situation.
Is it better to go direct,
or should I go with one that is suppressing my feelings?
I have a feeling that only in front of Kanae,
does Shuji become like a child...
Yeah... That's why he wants to see her.
Thank you very much!
Then what about here...
I think there are many interpretations...
Shall we do a read-through before we shoot?
- Yes! - Good.
I'd love to.
What are you so worried about?
I'm not worried.
Our Shirakawa has a lot of experience,
so it's okay to leave it to her.
Ms. Hara.
Even if you're not by his side,
Fujishiro-kun will be fine.
I'm sorry for giving me a ride.
No, It's totally fine.
- Where do you live, Mr. Kagami? - Ah, you can drop me off later.
We should drop Mr. Sena off first.
It was an intense scene today. You must be exhausted.
No, I'm not tired at all, so let's just drop you off at your place, Mr. Kagami.
No, no.
Managers can't be sent home before talents.
Right, Ms. Saejima?
But
since he said so, then why not, right?
Yes, I like to drive around for a while after the shoot to reset my mind before going home.
Just in time, right? Ms. Saejima?
Yes, it is.
So... where do you live, Mr. Kagami?
More importantly,
where do you live, Ms. Saejima?
M-My place?
My place, let's see,
it's rather close to Mr. Fujishiro's apartment,
or maybe not so close.
Yes, where exactly is it?
Gosh, I'm so exhausted.
You figured you'd drive to the bar,
so that's what you did.
You've worked hard. Here.
Okay, drink your oolong tea
and calm down.
Thank you.
So?
What happened to the handsome manager in the end?
First, we dropped Mr. Fujishiro off at his apartment...
Ms. Saejima,
after the meeting, would you like to have dinner with me?
I had plans with a friend after this.
Oh, she's a colleague from my previous work.
She seems to be struggling a lot...
I have to go.
Who says I'm struggling?
Sowwie.
But this Mr. Kagami,
he's really into you, isn't he?
No, I don't think so!
No, no, you see,
that battle over who gets to dropped off first
was something that used to happen to me
on the way home from my college club.
- Battle? - Yeah.
So, in short,
Mr. Kagami wanted to drop Mr. Sena off first
so that he could be alone with you, right?
That's it.
Your love life has finally come, huh?
Is that what it was all about?
I was so worried that he'd find out we were living together that I didn't notice at all.
So...
Chitose,
between Mr. Sena-sama and Mr. Kagami-sama,
which one is your type?
Which one?
I've never thought about which one...
N...o...
Yes, you have!
So that means
you've made some kind of progress with Mr. Sena?
Progress?
Nuh-uh. Nope!
Of course not!
Because we're talent and manager, remember?
Take 16.
And...
Action!
Why do you have to go?
Cut.
Let's go again.
Take 17.
And...
Action!
Why do you have to go?
Cut. Again.
- Let's get it fixed! - Fixing it.
Director Inagaki,
these many retakes
is my fault, isn't it?
Can you tell me where it went wrong?
It's not bad, per se, but different...
Oh, well.
Let's take a break!
We're taking a break!
- Director is being tough today. - That's true...
Same cut for an hour...
I thought Mr. Sena did a good job.
I'm also concerned about his co-star, Ms. Shirakawa...
Don't worry.
Shirakawa is not the kind of small actor
who would be put off by something like this.
I'm sorry...
Most likely, the pressure of his first lead role, right?
Morning drama, Taiga, big budget movies,
and many other experiences as the lead,
Shirakawa's career is different.
No need for your concern.
That was harsh.
When it comes to understanding the role,
thinking about it, and acting it out, I think you did it perfectly.
But what I want
are feelings that are grounded.
Especially for this scene.
It is not about acting well,
it is about becoming the character itself.
Become the character...?
Yes.
For example, Fujishiro-kun.
Have you ever
really loved someone?
What?
It doesn't have to be love,
but the inevitable frustrations and setbacks that come with it,
it's impossible to ask you to experience those things now, so...
Just remember that.
We're done with this scene for today.
We'll do it again soon.
- Please wait a moment. - We need to make sure!
Director!
Damn, what a pity.
We spent so much time on this...
Mr. Sena...
Director Inagaki is the type
of director who makes the actors think, so it's not just you.
Everyone is like this.
Oh... I see...
So don't worry too much about it.
Me too.
Thank you very much.
Good work today.
Today was a disaster.
It's okay,
I'm sure you'll get it next time.
You don't have to force yourself to be cheerful and comforting.
I can't do that...
Then, Chii-chan,
help me with the read-through.
Shall we do a read-through before we shoot?
- Yes! - Good.
I'd love to.
Oh, look,
that's exactly what the director told me today...
You did a read-through
with Ms. Shirakawa, right?
Huh?
Wait...
Chii-chan, by any chance,
are you jealous?
No way!
Let's do it. The read-through.
Please, my manager.
Then, Chii-chan, stand over here.
Okay.
Why do you have to go?
My husband now
accepts me for who I am without my past.
So
whatever past I had with you,
I can't betray him.
I wish you happiness.
Goodbye...
I'm sorry.
Just for one last minute.
Let me do this.
Kanae...
Chii-chan...
Hey.
- The name... - I've always loved you...
I don't know why I kept hurting you...
I've always regretted it...
Since then...
But...
I've finally found a way to make you smile.
That's why
I will never hurt you ever again.
Mr. Fujishiro,
you said the wrong line... - Chii-chan.
The scene just now
was really good
and full of emotion.
Good luck tomorrow.
Okay, then...
Reiji Asahina
Mr. Asahina, good morning.
Look at the online news now.
What?
We've got a problem.
Come to the office as fast as you can!
But!
Separately from Fujishiro.
Chii-chan, what's wrong?
Mr. Asahina said to look at online news...
What?
Is this the love nest!? Sena Fujishiro has a new girlfriend!
The two enter Fujishiro's apartment building at different times
They found out
that we're living together!
Ending Theme: Sakurako Ohara - Popping Love!
Since the day I met you, my heart has been fluttering
I've never had a feeling like this before,
and now it's starting to happen
Like the ice cream we ate while laughing. Did the memories melt?
Pretending to forget,
your feelings are the only thing I can't see right now
Look at me as I really am
I wonder what you think of me?
Someday, you'll be exactly as you are. Come on, turn around
It's not fair of you to stamp on my heart and say that,
so let your smoldering love burst out

Because I love you
