Miyuki Takeda Born 1948

Miyuki Takeda Born 1948

I lived with Miyuki for three years.

We had a child and many things happened.

When our relationship reached a certain peak,

she decided she wanted her own space.

She took our baby and left me.

But she still visited me once a week.

So we had some kind of a relationship.

One day, she told me she was going to Okinawa.

I got really upset and agitated because...

If she went to Okinawa...

I would not be able to deal with feelings I still had for her.

I felt I had to do something.

So I decided to make a film.

The only way to stay connected with her...

was to make this film.

I rolled a camera because...

I wanted to see her.

Miyuki lived with Sugako in Okinawa.

Answer me.

Have anything to say?

Look at me.

Say something.

Why?

You never say anything. You're always like this.

I knew something was wrong. You never say what you want.

I just got sick of it.

Of what?

You got sick of me?

Can you explain?

- You're always like this. - You can think whatever.

Tell me why.

That's all you can say?

Why?

What was the point of doing it?

We never made any effort.

No effort at all.

You say you got sick of it, but you never told me why.

You never want to say anything.

So this is it, Sugako?

What do you mean?

So we're finished. It's over between us.

You'd rather live with Tommy, right?

You prefer Tommy to me. Right?

- Not really. - Oh, yeah?

Haven't heard that before. I'm glad.

So it's the same.

What?

You still like me.

I'm glad to hear it.

You never explain anything.

You keep changing your attitude everyday.

It affects me.

How can we give it all up like this?

I'm not giving up yet.

It's too easy to say we lost passion.

We might as well have not done it.

Please say something.

So women need men? Having sex means a connection?

I went to Okinawa two months after Miyuki left.

She was living with Sugako.

I went there and I stayed with them. For four or five days.

I didn't know anything about their relationship.

After a while, they began to fight.

At first I didn't understand why they were fighting.

But I figured out that my presence In their apartment...

was the cause of their fight.

That's how It started.

The fact that I had a relationship with Miyuki made It worse...

Because I was a man. That's why they were fighting.

That's what I discovered.

How?

Why?

Just tell me.

Being with a man is normal?

- I didn't say that. - Then what?

So living with me is not normal?

So what is normal and abnormal?

I don't think like that.

So what are you saying? I don't understand you.

Say yes or no. I like this or I hate that.

It's fun or not fun. Just say it.

What is so strange?

What are you talking about?

I have my reasons.

- That's all I have to say. - I don't understand.

What about Tommy? What about this place?

Don't whatever me.

How can you act so indifferent?

The angrier you get, the calmer I become.

Smart ass.

The next day

Sugako left the house at night and went to Tommy's.

But she came back since Tommy wasn't there.

Sugako and Miyuki fought all night.

We're living together and I care about you a lot.

That's it. Isn't that enough? I want to be with you.

It's not that simple for me.

Everything is complicated for you.

It's always the same.

But I told you I wanted to give it a try...

even if you think it's unnatural.

You said you don't believe me when I told you how I feel.

You didn't believe me. The same story here.

Why don't you?

I'm saying let's talk this over. But you don't talk.

You don't take actions either. So it's always the same.

You don't talk or say anything. What am I supposed to do?

It's not that difficult.

Even when I slap you, you don't say anything.

I want to be with you.

Miyuki, I won't go.

I'm so happy.

- I'm really happy. - You mean it?

She slept with Tommy right here in this room.

I slept over there and I couldn't sleep all night.

The fact that they communicate physically...

made me very jealous.

Why can't we have sex?

Maybe I should try.

I mean have sex with her.

Maybe you don't call it sex.

With you, we had sex.

That's what made it easy.

A nice way to finish a fight. We kiss, have sex, and make up.

It was too easy.

Living with Sugako made me feel different.

I just felt envious.

Miyuki and Sugako soon separated.

Miyuki and Sugako soon separated.

Chichi A 14 year old girl from Okinawa

Chichi is from Okinawa.

I met her at a bar where Miyuki works.

I don't know who the father is.

My mother will be furious. She will kill me.

She really will...

if I had this baby.

When I used to go to school...

I never went to school, but...

Anyway, when I went to school...

I dyed my hair red and wore a short skirt.

My teacher called me...

And I told him...

If I got really mad, I would kill him...

Like I would really kill him. So he should go away.

Everyone at school knew about me.

The 8th grade.

I don't go to school anymore. I'm not doing anything.

I think I had too many fights.

Sure, I would go back. But not to study.

I never understood freedom. I prefer the feeling of fear.

Everything is too easy when you have freedom.

I finally realized this.

Life is pointless without the adrenaline rush...

when you fear something.

Don't you think so?

I'm going to raise my kid like a wild child.

That's the only way.

I will raise him to become someone who can survive on his own...

no matter where he is and what happens.

That's what I mean by 'wild child.'

I'll go to Central Asia with my son...

take things I need, and then get pregnant...

I guess I should go right before the due date...

and then have a baby by myself.

I need courage to have a baby by myself.

And I want you to film it.

Like I promised you two years ago.

I want you to see it.

OK?

I don't want my kid to grow up to be gentle and sweet.

I want my child to be aggressive.

That's how I want him to be.

You haven't got it in you.

He doesn't have the look.

That's the way to grow up.

Be sweet, gentle, and happy. My ass.

Better not have one if that's how a child turns out to be.

Don't you think so?

Am I right?

To Kazuo Hara Setagaya, Tokyo

From Miyuki Takeda Goza, Okinawa

Hello Hara

I'm pregnant.

Two months pregnant.

The father is a guy from Okinawa.

I'm having it.

I'm having an Okinawa baby.

I received another letter...

saying she lives with a black man named Paul.

I went to Okinawa for the second time.

What?

- What did he say? - You didn't understand?

Just like you, he did it with a lot of women.

- Did what? - Made love. Sex.

People say women shine when they're with men.
