[Japanese Drama] HUNGRY! Ep. 8 (Eng/Indo Sub) – 2012 (Mukai Osamu, Takimoto Miori)
I’ll make this place number one so that no one can complain one bit about it. You cook the ingredients, eat the food, clean the plate, and it’ll come back out as shit. That’s the cycle! There’s no first class or second class about that! It’s all bullshit! You bastard, you have gotta be kidding me! Stop it! Stop it, you guys! If you apologize now, I’ll immediately forgive you!
-I quit! I’m quitting this place! Don’t you think it’s better this way? I think it’s better for you to be apart from them, if you really want to be a first class French chef. Those guys are serious about quitting. Young master, it’s time to open. Why did it turn out like this… What the hell! Shit!
-Eisuke. Haven’t you quit the swearing? We’re opening the restaurant. Hurry up. But Eisuke, you can’t run the kitchen by yourself. I’m so sorry, but actually I have plans to join a sketch trip on a night bus tonight… No one expected your help from the start, Pops! Chie. Can’t you come to work part-time here for the time being?
-Eh? Yes, I can, for spring break.
-Then, help me over at the kitchen. I can run the kitchen enough with a help from 1 person. Me? Help in the kitchen? From when? From today. No, it’s now, right now! Okay! However… I’m very sorry. Why is the rice not breasts-shaped today? We’re very sorry. The usual staff is on a break. Hey, is the burdock soup not coming out yet? We’re very sorry. We’ll bring it out very soon. Our service today was terrible. Hey, is the bamix not done yet? Hurry up!
-Yes! Uhh… where is it again?
-Didn’t I tell you it’s there!? Sheesh… Wash everything all over again!
-All of them? Do it! I’m so tired. It’s time to close soon. What’s with that sad face? If it makes you that sad, then why don’t you just call him and make up? I won’t do that. Can’t believe I’m jobless now. We can’t tell your father about this. Well, papa will get angry, indeed.
-Yeah. It’s just the usual quarrel, right? Based on my experience, after a quarrel, the longer the time the deeper the ditch will be. With my first husband… Mutsuko-san. He doesn’t need that story now.
-Oh yes. Sorry. So, I think you should make up with them immediately. I’ll be honest now. I think the fact that I was able to endure your behaviour while working here so far, was thanks to Kenta-san and Tsuyoshi-san. Huh?
-Me too. I could manage to be in your group for years, thanks to those guys.
-Shut up. Every time you open your mouth you piss me off. So, why don’t you just apologize to them? They have supported your dream for years. I know that. Aux Champs-Élysée (In the Elysian Fields) Aux Champs-Élysée (In the Elysian Fields) Au soleil, sous la pluie (In sun or rain)
à midi ou à minuit (at midday or midnight) Il y a tout ce que vous voulez (Everything you wanted) Aux Champs-Élysée (In the Elysian Fields) Beautiful. Aso-san isn’t coming?
-Yes. He’s always come everyday, so far. Don’t tell me, he’s in shock coz he didn’t get the call from Machuron, so he’s neglecting this restaurant.
-No way. That can’t be it. He has been acting weird since he went to Yamate Eisuke’s restaurant. I mean, yesterday… That light hand is nice. Huh? This, huh. This, this… Let’s work hard for Eisuke. Shiroyama-san? What? So you’re still up at this hour? What are you calling me for? Say, Eisuke, won’t you rock once more? Huh?
-Rock! You guys still have the chance! Your chance to make a debut as a rock band! Huh? Translator – yanie Editor – enggrrl Is this debut talk serious?? Yes. I was so surprised with what this Tsurumi-san said… This is the band. Once I saw this video, I immediately contacted him. This guy… He said he contacted Kenta immediately. He wanted to meet you guys. Huh? But, Kenta said… We failed… He might have lied.
-Eh? But, why would he lie to us? Well, I was quitting that time, though. In any case, let’s contact Tsurumi-san once. I’ll back you guys up again. Okay, got it! Alright!! Seriously? I’m so happy! Sheesh, you spilled it. Sorry. I’ll go to the toilet. Shut up!
-What are you doing… What? Eisuke, you should be happier. There’s someone who acknowledges your talent as a musician, y’know. My talent? Don’t cry like that, Mariya. Sorry. But I have always believed in you. I had faith in your music. I believed someone would acknowledge you someday. I’m so happy for you, Eisuke. Watch it, you’ll get burned. I’m so happy. I’m very happy too, that our music is being acknowledged. But, I feel that it’s too late now. Eh?
-My bass… I’ve destroyed and threw it away, anyway. I mean, to enter the rock world again now, … it’s just not hitting me.
-Wait… Pull yourself together, Eisuke. Oh no, the iron…
-Forget the iron… Be strong. Think of it carefully. Music is your dream since childhood. That’s true, but… Listen. You have to meet that producer and listen to what he has to say, immediately. Shall I go together with you, then? No, but, my restaurant is in a bad situation now. Say, Eisuke… Don’t tell me you’re letting this chance go by? This is so touching. I’ll buy this one from the first volume. Okay. Then, I’ll wait for you outside. Alright. Eisuke. What? I won’t go back even if you apologize to me now. Did you lie to us? I gave up on my rock dream, because you told us we failed the Face audition, y’know. But I just heard from Shiroyama-san… I didn’t lie. ROCKHEAD failed. The producer guy called me and offered a debut as another band. With just the 3 of us… you, Taku and me. Eh? He wanted to replace the drummer, Tsuyoshi with someone else, and he wanted us to trust him about producing us. That was the condition. I rejected that. It was time for us to give up. Taku was about to quit, anyways, at that time. I also felt at the limit of my ability, then. So… So, I felt bad about not telling you the truth, but if I had told you, you’d have felt troubled, anyway. Yeah, I would have. I wanted to feel troubled. Having a chance for a debut… Didn’t you know… Didn’t you know how much I wanted to succeed in rock?? You bastard!! Hey. Don’t tell me, you did that for me? It wasn’t for you. But… I guess everything ended this way. Ow. It’s really impossible for me. I’m more of a specialist in eating it than making it, after all. Nothing good comes from being a chef’s girlfriend. I’ll work hard, then. If I’m here, I can be useful to Eisuke-san’s restaurant. Hey, let’s meet him first. Hey, hey, I mean that producer guy likes you and me, after all. Yeah, but…
-I mean, this might be our chance for a major debut, you know! Eh, debut? Well, let’s talk about that later. Let’s just get ready to open. But those guys has gone too. Don’t you think this place situation is getting worse? What the… Okay, everyone gather! Listen. Today is only the 4 of us. Yeah.
-Yeah. We didn’t have enough hands yesterday… Wait, wait… Hold it. Mu-chan prickled my arm. I’m sorry. I wonder why… It’s the fund-raising red feather I got in front of the station. Hey! Please concentrate you guys. I’m sorry.
-Sorry, man. Yes.
-Listen. Yesterday, we didn’t have enough hands, so our service and dishes couldn’t satisfy the guests. It’s bad. Really bad. So, today, we have to… You too…
-Sorry, somehow… My nose feels itchy. What the hell! What the hell, man! At least, let me do this circle briefing smoothly, will ya! It’s only the 4 of us.
-But I guess… …a circle without Kenta-san and Tsuyoshi-san… Hey!
-Is something burning? The heater! This place is breaking… Dammit! Geez. Nothing is going right! The iron, the circle, the heater and the long-time friendship. Say, Eisuke, why don’t you just quit the restaurant and make a living from rock. These are all the signs. What? A living from rock?
-Yes. Actually… Eisuke and me might start a band again. I told you, we’ll talk that later! Why do you have such a loose way of living and a loose tongue! Oh, welcome.
-Huh? It’s Kenta’s girlfriend.
-Oh, Toko. How are you, Eisuke-kun?
-My parents here wants to see the place where Ken-chan work at. So… Sorry, they don’t know yet about Ken-chan quitting here. Huh?
-Well… it’s more spacious than I thought.
-Yes. So, where’s Kenta-san?
-Oh, um… Ken-chan is… Well, uhh… Ah, wine! Right, um, Kenta… kun is, uh… learning to be a sommelier for the restaurant, so he went to a short course for that. Right?
-Huh? Right!? Ah… that’s right. Coincidentally, he’s not here today. This way, please. Please, this way. Here, yes. Hey, hey, hey! Here we are again today. Give us heaps of beer and potato fries. Oh man. They just have to be here at this kinda time. So many of ‘em. Oh no. Ah, Nana.
-I came! Thanks. But, why today… Is Taku-san here?
-Yeah, yeah, he’s here. Here, here. Oh my! Higashi-sempai. I came to taste the food here. I finally got a break after a long time. I actually wanted to come earlier, though. We’d usually be happy if so many people came like this right as we opened. Hey, hurry get the potato ready. And the salad, too. Ah, yes! But… um…
-What? You’re not going to quit this place, right?
-Huh? It might be nice to see you doing rock, but I can only see you as a cook, you won’t be you anymore if you don’t do cook, I don’t have any interest in you dyeing your hair, smoking cigarettes, being a rocker and all… Hey, stop talking bad about me being a rocker. I spent my 20s as a rocker, y’know. I mean… Eisuke, Eisuke. We have more guests. You know, the ones who joined the children cooking class last time, they brought their families. A total of 17 guests.
-Alright. We’re making the guests wait. Stop complaining and just get to work! But, you’ve promised! You said there are so many foods in this world that would make me groan and become feverish. You said you’ll make that kind of food for me someday. So they promised each other something like that. What, what? What are they talking about? No, nothing. Young master, young master. May I come in? To the kitchen. Okay, okay.
-Welcome back, master. Over here.
-Alright. Alright. We have a heater now. How’s cooking? Should I help? It’s fine. Look. Be careful.
-Yes. Thank you for waiting. It’s today’s special. Crispy pork with spicy tomato sauce. How is it?
-Delicious! This is the first tasty French for me. True.
-Delicious. Yes.
-Yeah. Next is scallop. The grill please. OK, roger. What’s the finishing?
-Saignant. Okay. I’ll start doing the scallop grilled sauce.
-Slice the scallop with the lights. How’s the chou farci? (cabbage rolls) It’ll be done in 2 minutes. Alright.
-Okay. He’s really a professional. You’ve helped so much. I learned alot from you.
-No… It reminds me of Hanako-san’s restaurant. The guests and the atmosphere is totally different, but there were always smiles on the guests’ face in Hanako-san’s Le Petit Chou. The cabbage rolls are awesome. So good! Say cheese. What would you like? Naruto whirlpools and Sudachi in Tokushima! Yayy!
-Wait, this is… I’d like to taste more of the foods here. That’s a good idea.
-Really? Shall we order wine too?
-Yeah. Gasterea, the place I work at, is a wonderful restaurant that has perfect aesthetics. But sometimes I miss master’s magic show and guests who would bring over their family. I’m glad that recipe book become useful for you. Yes. You opened such a nice restaurant, young master. Nice restaurant? This place? So good! I’m really full. Kenta-kun is working at such a delicious restaurant. True. I’m glad we came. Thank you for the treat.
-Thank you. Thanks. Thank you, for not making my father worry for nothing. He looks healthy now, but he had a heart attack last summer. At that time, Ken-chan told me he’d get a permanent job and ask me to marry him. Toko.
-Coming. Thank you so much. Hurry and make up with him, okay? Let’s go home. So that’s why he wanted to get married in a rush. Thank god. We made it somehow. I hope Kenta-san and Tsuyoshi-san will come back tomorrow. Those guys won’t come back. Eh? Then, how about the restaurant?
-We have to do it with only 4 people. Just pray that tomorrow won’t be as many guests as today. But if there’s too few guests, it’s trouble for us too. What should we do… Eisuke. Huh? Why are you two holding hands?
-No, no… This is bad… Chie-chan’s right hand… It might be tendonitis. I’m sorry! Sh… Geez! Why can’t I be helpful at a time like this?
-Well, never mind that. This way, Eisuke might quit the restaurant and decide to walk the rock path. If Eisuke-san really gets a debut, I guess I have to be happy for him. It’s Eisuke-san’s long-time dream, after all. But, I still… want him to continue the restaurant. I want to eat more and more of Eisuke-san’s cooking. Not to mention, I just realized it since I started working together with him. Eisuke-san’s expression is so nice when he’s cooking. Like when he shake the frying pan, his arm muscles looks so good… Uhh… um.. So warm!! What? What’s this? Chie-chan, you keep talking about Eisuke, so I’m getting more and more cold here. Alright! Good night, then. Oh right. Don’t forget to compress your hand. Bye. What just happened? So it was my fault… Maybe I should just close down this place. Yeah, you better do that! You might be able to make a living with rock, y’know. Life is rock! Haven’t you been waiting for this chance since you started playing bass at 13? True! That’s true! It is! Forget about cooking, and climb to the top as a musician. That’s your dream, right? Mariya is so happy for you too. That’s right. But… for some reason, even when I heard about the chance for a debut… it just didn’t hit me, like it used to. Of course. Because your dream now is French. What?
-These hands… You decided you’d devote these hands to cooking. That’s true, but this place is a mess now. Why don’t you just recruit people more skilled than those guys? Kenta lied to you, you know.
-Yeah, well… Forget about them, and recruit someone like Higashi-san. This place will run properly that way. Chie is cheering you on, too. That might be right, but… I can’t just recruit other people now… Then just quit running a restaurant. You have a talent in rock, y’know.
-No. Train yourself more and be a first-class chef. The only talent you have is a talent in cooking. Ohh, really! I’m so amazing, to have 2 kinds of talent at the same time. No, wait. Am I really that amazing? My head hurts. Did I drink too much? I just drank a little… What a soliloquy. Don’t tell me you don’t have friends to talk to? I feel bad for you.
-When did you come in here? Leave me alone. You remind me of me. This is good. Don’t eat things here as you like! Won’t you drink a bit more with me in our kitchen? Here you go.
-Thanks. So cold. Say…
-Hm? It was my fault, after all, huh? It’s not. I’m the one who wanted to quit. I wasn’t that attached to the music world that I would want to debut with different members. Man… You’re such a good guy, man! Stop it, stop it. It’s embarrassing. You’re such a good guy, Kenta-kun. Oh, look.
-What? A middle-aged couple is walking together in the middle of the night. What a punk. Oh! Welcome to our kitchen. It has changed so much. This was the sink back then. And this was the working station. I resent you now. Ever since I ate your cooking, I always feel like eating cheap foods. Cup noodles which you only pour in hot water and wait for 3 minutes. Tamago kakegohan, egg and shoyu sauce on top of the rice. Curry on top of soft and flabby noodles. Are you saying that my cooking tastes cheap? No, your cooking reminds me of the foods I ate when I was a child. The first time you feel happy since you were born when eating food that tastes so good. It revived my memories of that time. It was 30 years ago though. Tamago kakegohan is good, indeed. Oh right. I got supplies of blue eggs. Would you like to see? Araucana, huh. How pretty, what are you planning to make? Pudding omelette for March dessert. The lecithin, antioxidant composition in Araucana egg, is twice than chicken’s egg. I’m sure the female guests will be happy about it. That composition something, effects and all, sounds so shady. In other words, you just have to make a good balance for the seasonal delicious stuff. Oh, is this gibier? What happened to your friends, since then? They haven’t come back huh. So it’s the end of that restaurant. What did you say? With that attitude of yours, it’ll be difficult for you to work with total strangers, won’t it? Shut up. My attitude is not as bad as yours. That might be true. But it’s fine. Unlike you, I have sociality and knowledge. And, money too. Money, huh. Why don’t you… Why don’t you be mine? Huh? What’s that noise? Something’s coming out. Hey! He’s quite a capable producer. Won’t you come back to our place? Eisuke actually wants you to come back. He just can’t say that frankly. You know that. We’ve managed somehow, so far. But we’re at our limit already.
-It’s really bad, that Eisuke can’t come home because he’s so busy. His room is a big mess. We don’t have stove, and it’s cold… No matter how much we want to go back, that guy won’t forgive us. I did know just how much he wanted to achieve success in music, but… Plus, with our skills, we can’t be much of a help in achieving his dream to make a genuine French restaurant. Dammit! No one picked up. The door is completely locked. Why? Is the safety device broken? It’s too cold here. I’m running out of battery too. Hey, that cellphone is our lifeline! Don’t call your unreliable friends, call the police first. Oh, right, right. I see. Okay. It just died on me. Why didn’t you fully charge it? Shut up. This is your fault in the first place. Sorry. To be honest, I was a bit drunk. It’s suffocating if I speak loud. Right, it’s not the time to fight. Let’s just get close to each other for now. The cold is piercing into our bodies.
-No way, man! Who’d want to get close to another guy? This is not the right time to be picky! Hurry up, we’ll die. Your body is not warm at all. I have a very poor constitution. I had malnutrition when I was a child. Before the protection facility took custody of me, there were many times when I only ate 1 sweet jam bread for the whole day. Really. When my parents left me, I collapsed in the apartment without eating anything for 3 days. When the policeman found me, he gave me onigiri only wrapped in seaweed. That taste was the most memorable taste in my whole life. Hey… hey! Don’t sleep, you’ll die! I’ve been sleep deprived lately. I was just telling you a good story. So what should we do now? I don’t want to die here together with a creepy guy like you. Really? Actually I think that I’m an a lot more valuable person than those friends of yours. Valuable person? I told you, it’s better for you to be apart from them. For chefs, it’s important to choose people who will work together with him. If you’re cooking with such amateurs, your skill will never get better. Not to mention, those guys are the kind of people who least suit my esthetics. Rude, get into fights easily, lame musicians who don’t understand tastes and techniques. I’m saying this for your sake. If you stay together with them, your senses will stop working properly. Listen. The person you should work together with… Who’s the lame musician? Listen. The one who easily gets into fights and rude is me! They may not be good at chopping finely, and they don’t immediately close the refrigerator once they open it. But, they’re hard workers, cheerful and considerate people! It’s important to choose people for band members, too. When you seriously think of making music, you would have quarrels and fights, too. When we had fights with girlfriends or other band members, we helped each other. We have sold CD on the side of the street together too. But I managed to do all that, because I did it together with those long-time friends of mine. I will manage somehow as long as I do it together with them, be it about the band or the restaurant! Your esthetics talk is all bullshit!! Crap! Be it the stage or the kitchen, I… I want to do it together with them. Together with them!! Eisuke!
-Sir! Are you okay? We had a call from the security company that the safety device is not working. Hey, are you okay, man? Be strong. We were surprised to hear your voice message. Warm your hands. If you get a frostbite, you won’t be able to cook or play bass anymore. Don’t you have a pocket heater? Give it to him.
-I don’t have it. Why don’t you have it?? It’s really cold outside. Come back. Come back. I can’t keep going without you guys. Hey, Eisuke, are you okay? I just heard your message… We made it so far, because it’s the 4 of us. It’s meaningless if it’s not the 4 of us. It’s meaningless if it’s not the 4 of us in the band too, in the first place. So… Please come back, to the restaurant. Young master. Can you stand up? Can’t be helped. Thank god. Another touching act of friendship. In such a cold room. Let’s go, Sir. Stop it. It hurts. Come on.
-Why are you trying to be sexy? It’s good, it’s good. Just as the visual I imagined. I’ll find the guitarist and drummer later. Let’s test a recording first. Hello! Hello! Here she is! She’s the vocalist, Mayurin. I’m thinking of forming a new outer space visual kei band, a fusion of rock and idol, where an outer space princess joins the crowd of Planet Beauty. What’s an outer space visual kei band? I didn’t know he’s a producer specialized in idols. Alright, alright, alright. Taku will be Venus and Eisuke will be Pluto. Plu…
-Yes? It’s nice, it’s nice. Awesome visual! So cute. Oh my! You guys look great. You two look good. No, we can’t do this. We finally understand why only Tsuyoshi failed. Huh? It was only because you wouldn’t look good in those costumes. Your drumming is the best. So hit the meat with all your might too, today. Yeah, roger. And… I won’t try to change the place anymore.
-You won’t? I’ll continue researching taste. I’m still inexperienced, after all. But I’ll stop being particular about the interior or the looks of the dish, those kind of visual stuff. Swearing is ban-lifted too.
-Why? Didn’t you want to make this restaurant number one, that no one can complain about? No… the spirit of my mother’s Le Petit Chou had nothing like that, either, I thought. I was a bit jealous. I’ve turned 30, it’s the time where we would just accept the reality. So to see you still talking stuff about dream, it was a bit too dazzling for me. But we still support your dream. No one needs your support. Why don’t we just aim for it together? Let’s make this restaurant our dream together. Our dream, huh. That might be nice too. I’ve achieved my goal too, anyway. I heard from Toko. I’ll learn more and someday… After a storm comes a calm. Yes, it really does. Alright, 10 minutes to opening. Gather here. Okay, listen. Our job is to wash the ingredients, wash the plates, slice, cook, eat, and it’ll come out as shits. That’s the cycle. Yes!
-Yes… Nothing’s wrong with that. That’s life. People eats, shits and dies. Nothing more or less than that. But to make that cycle more delicious and happy, that’s our real job. Yes!
-Okay! Let’s give it our best today! Let’s provide the best service and best French cuisine for the sake of our guests’ smiles! Dad, there’s a vegetable thief here. Dammit, why people keep coming and eat our vegetables as they like! Can I have this? Go ahead.
-Wait a minute! Sasuke, he can’t. He can’t! Your learning ability… Hold on a sec. I promised to sell those vegetables to a restaurant. Yes, I want you to sell them. Everything you have in this vegetable farm, please sell them to Aso Corp. I guess I can only support him now. Good evening. Are you going home already? Yes. I can’t work for the mean time, so I just came to have a light meal today… I see. You must love Eisuke’s cooking so much. Wait! I… I love Eisuke-san! In the beginning, I only loved Eisuke-san’s cooking, but now… What are you trying to say? Well, I mean… Please… Please let me have Eisuke-san! Kenta-san, you want to have a restaurant wedding? This party is a cooking match. We definitely can’t loose. Or else, we’ll lose this restaurant. It’s Eisuke and Mariya-san’s turn next. I’ll protect you from now on, Chie-chan. I’m tired of unrequited love. For you who want to watch “Hungry!” once again, you can watch it on your computer or cellphone, anytime anywhere. Please check the details on the show’s website. I don’t have any… ..romantic feelings for you.
