00:03:33,746 --> 00:03:35,Nami is here.

00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,Is my hair OK?

00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:38,It's sticking out.

00:03:39,118 --> 00:03:41,Hold on. Mirror.

00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:42,Thanks.

00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:47,Thanks.

00:03:49,929 --> 00:03:52,Where's Okano?

00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:54,I don't know.

00:03:54,834 --> 00:03:55,What room?

00:03:56,102 --> 00:03:59,He's waiting in the control room.

00:04:02,141 --> 00:04:03,Where is it?

00:04:03,343 --> 00:04:04,In here.

00:04:08,147 --> 00:04:09,In here.

00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:18,What scene is next?

00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:21,In two hours we'll do the escape.

00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,I'll come get you then.

00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:46,Come in.

00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:51,Sorry.

00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:57,Is this room OK?

00:04:58,464 --> 00:05:00,It's not really for interviews.

00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:01,It's fine.

00:05:02,902 --> 00:05:03,Please.

00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:09,Sorry to do this while you're filming.

00:05:10,243 --> 00:05:11,Please.

00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,No problem.

00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:19,No photos?

00:05:19,419 --> 00:05:22,We'll take some video this time.

00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,OK.

00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:31,Here we go.

00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:36,OK.

00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:44,Again, I'm Editor Katsuragi.

00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:49,Let's continue with the interview.

00:05:49,882 --> 00:05:50,OK.

00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:59,Last time we covered
your debut at 15,

00:05:59,892 --> 00:06:03,your popularity as a young singer,

00:06:03,663 --> 00:06:07,and your acting career.

00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:13,At 24, you married
an actor 15 years older.

00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:15,Yosuke Tsuchiya.

00:06:15,641 --> 00:06:18,A young actress like you...

00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:23,marrying a seasoned actor caused...

00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:25,a media stir.

00:06:26,085 --> 00:06:29,That's about where we left off.

00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:31,Yes.

00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:39,A major star speaking to me
openly about her life,

00:06:40,099 --> 00:06:45,and sharing her personal
sexual experiences...

00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:49,has made me a hero
at my company.

00:06:49,942 --> 00:06:50,I'm embarrassed.

00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:52,It's OK.

00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:55,The movie you are shooting today,

00:06:55,381 --> 00:07:00,what is it about?

00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,Alright.

00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:04,Go ahead.

00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:09,It's about an actress.

00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,It's called "Left Alone."

00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:14,"Left Alone."

00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:21,An actress believes
she's living in a movie.

00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,Hm?

00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:27,You told me the other day.

00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:34,Right. The actress thinks reality
is a series of movies.

00:07:34,954 --> 00:07:37,But I'm not playing her now.

00:07:39,091 --> 00:07:42,I'm doing a story about

00:07:42,595 --> 00:07:44,an actor couple who break up.

00:07:45,064 --> 00:07:48,I play a woman named "Kyoko."

00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:52,And the action scene?

00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:56,That was from "Blackbird."

00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:01,So within the movie "Left Alone"...

00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:05,is the movie "Blackbird."

00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:09,The scene shows Kyoko acting.

00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:20,And "What's Going On"?

00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:22,"What's Going On"?

00:08:23,970 --> 00:08:27,Oh, that's an e***c
piece at the end.

00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:33,So there are two movies
within the movie?

00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:36,Yes, as films being shot.

00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:41,And the story of the actress...

00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:44,Yes, "Left Alone."

00:08:45,157 --> 00:08:49,Your husband is playing
the role of your husband

00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,Quite a hot topic.

00:08:53,065 --> 00:08:56,They say we're a happy couple,

00:08:56,569 --> 00:09:00,but my husband cheats,
and we often separate.

00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:05,It happens a lot, right?

00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:08,Why is that?

00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:14,We hardly have time to meet.

00:09:14,921 --> 00:09:18,When we g***t married,
my husband said,

00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:22,"Go ahead and continue your work.
You only live once."

00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:25,"I'll support you."

00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,He was understanding.

00:09:33,205 --> 00:09:36,Please continue from there.

00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:43,One reason I accepted
this interview is to...

00:09:44,383 --> 00:09:48,talk about the issue of
male chauvinism.

00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:54,It is now referred to as

00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:59,"domestic violence,"

00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:02,and men still have violent
tendencies toward women.

00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:09,This includes verbal abuse
and sexual acts like infidelity.

00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,I feel that it has gotten worse.

00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:15,Indeed.

00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:24,One expression of an escape
from this...

00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:32,is the embattled main character,
whose name is Kyoko.

00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,You mentioned.

00:10:35,768 --> 00:10:37,It's seen in her actions.

00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:40,What actions?

00:10:41,273 --> 00:10:43,Kyoko has nowhere to go.

00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:52,In search of freedom, she opens a
door to discover a new place.

00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:57,She finds not an actress,
but another self.

00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:01,She changes into her true self.

00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:07,It's the story of the true side
of an actress.

00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:10,True side?

00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:17,Yes. In her crisis,
it's not an eye for an eye.

00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:22,She doesn't have loveless
s***x with countless men.

00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:24,That doesn't happen.

00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:26,It's the opposite.

00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,Meaning...

00:11:30,122 --> 00:11:33,I'll explain using the script.

00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:41,Okano?

00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:43,Okano?

00:11:46,605 --> 00:11:51,Sorry. The manager has the script.

00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:53,He knew the time...

00:11:55,548 --> 00:12:00,He just called and said
he had something urgent.

00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:02,Urgent?

00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:05,I wonder what.

00:12:06,992 --> 00:12:11,I've had a chance to read
the other scripts.

00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:14,"What's Going On"
and "Blackbird."

00:12:20,539 --> 00:12:25,There's a lot of narration
in the movie.

00:12:25,444 --> 00:12:30,I think you'd understand
it better if...

00:12:31,217 --> 00:12:35,I explain it to you as you visualize.

00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:36,Alright.

00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:44,I play the main character Kyoko.

00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:50,My husband plays
her husband Fujikura.

00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:56,His lover Ryoko is
played by Junko Kotani.

00:12:56,675 --> 00:13:00,In this scene, Fujikura is
in bed with his lover...

00:13:01,313 --> 00:13:07,while Kyoko is out filming
on location.

00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:17,Kyoko suspected her husband
of having an affair with Ryoko,

00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:25,and when she happened to see
an e-mail Ryoko had sent him,

00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:28,she was almost certain of it.

00:13:28,707 --> 00:13:32,It was evening, and
Kyoko was out filming on location.

00:13:32,611 --> 00:13:36,Kyoko enters from the garage,
holding her bag.

00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:41,She has removed her shoes,
and steps quietly.

00:13:42,154 --> 00:13:47,She looks around....
