Rabu jenerêshon (Love Generation) - First Season

Teppei!

Don't shout out my name so loudly.

It's because your name is so easy to call out.

What do you mean? That's nonsense.

Why are you holding my arm? We're at work.

Besides, you're younger than me. Why do you call my name so casually?

Wait for me.

I told you to let go, jeez.

Exhibition of the new collection...

There are so many people here, how would I know who is Mr. Hara?

Excuse me. - Yes?

May I know who is Mr. Hara?

I am.

I see. - Who are you?

Well, the dolls' facial expressions are so cute.

Yes. - This is model C, right?

Yes, that's right.

The dolls are so cute.

Yes.

Their facial features are totally Japanese style.

Because they're Japanese dolls.

You're right.

Let me introduce myself. - Go ahead.

I'm Katagiri. - Okay.

I'm from the Sales Department of Eko Agency.

I'll be handling your account.

You're from the advertising agency?

Yes. - What the heck?

Well, I called you yesterday.

By the way, you're just in time.

Actually, the daughter of our CEO is learning ballet.

Get me a few tickets...

for the Leningrad Ballet performance in Japan.

All right?

Mr. Hara.

You're done talking?

Listen, let's take the boat back from Hamamatsu...

and dine at Rex.

Why exactly did you follow me here?

Because I can slack off. - We're here to work, okay?

If I say that I'm assisting you with this sales call,

no one will say anything.

Just go and have some Hishi mochi.

Mr. Hara, please wait.

Tep? - Yes.

You cut your hair.

You look the same as you did back then.

Is that so?

Why are you here?

I'm here to be an interpreter.

I see.

Well, I'm in a hurry.

I have to go.

All the best to your work. - Okay.

Let's go.

Wait.

I think I've seen her somewhere before.

I remember now.

Hi, I'm Uesugi Riko.

She joined the company two years after me. She's Uesugi.

Hi, I'm Riko. - Hi.

Let's go back to the office.

Otherwise, we will get scolded. - What? I'm not going back.

This is a destined encounter.

It would be such a shame to waste it.

You must be Teppei's girlfriend in senior high.

She's Mizuhara Sanae, the girl you still can't forget, right?

What are you talking about?

Sanae looks more beautiful in person.

Her skin is glowing.

Is she dating someone? - Are you done?

Don't ever talk to me again.

What's wrong with him?

I'm back.

Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

Katagiri. - Yes.

How is it? You should have adapted to the work, right?

How can I adapt to this kind of work?

What?

I mean...

We visit clients, nodding and bowing to them,

follow all their requests, and do everything for them.

Can one call this work?

So you're not willing to be humble.

No.

I just don't want to live this way for the rest of my life.

All right, I understand.

Actually,

after 10 days,

there's a bidding event for the Hokkaido Winter Campaign.

I'll let you do the presentation in the bidding event.

Is that all right, Section Chief?

I'll let you handle that project and test your capability, okay?

He can do it, right?

I think so.

All right.

That's an important task. - Yes.

Section Chief...

Thank you.

Why are you suddenly so excited?

Look carefully. This is a bidding event.

It's not some gathering to meet friends.

You've finally found your motivation.

Yes, let me handle it.

Hey, that's the Hokkaido Winter Campaign.

You can do it, right?

How do you plan to win the project?

Well, I'm planning to start thinking about that now.

You're just starting now.

Listen, their president is a pervert.

Just treat him to the Kabukichō on your own expense.

You can surely win it. - That's right.

That's a good idea. - This time, I want...

to rely on myself.

You're so naive.

I used to say that too.

Katagiri. - Yes.

These are the information from last year. Take them.

Good morning.

What's going on?

You're doing well in the Sales Department.

Your hair looks much better. - Yes, I cut it short.

Everyone, this is Katagiri from the Sales Department.

He'll handle the bidding.

Hi, everyone. I'm Katagiri from the Sales Department.

Let's get down to business.

Regarding the 1998 Hokkaido Winter Campaign...

It hurts.

Do you have time now?

Yes.

Tep, you're here.

I'm making supper. It's roast pork with potatoes.

Come and have some.

No, it's okay.

There's no need to bother. - Come and have a beer then.

No, it's fine.

Actually, I have something for you.

I came to deliver it.

Here. - What's this?

Tickets for the Leningrad Ballet performance.

Ballet? That kind of ballet? - Yes. The one...

where they dance on their toes. - Seriously?

Is it okay for you to give these to us?

What do you mean? I came to give them to you.

Why did you think of giving these to us?

Haven't you always liked ballet?

It's fine, I have contacts to get these tickets.

I happened to have two, so I brought them over to you.

I'll get going then.

Aren't you coming in?

No, good night.

All right.

Tep.

This is for you.

There's no need.

I've already eaten.

Just put it in the fridge. You can eat it tomorrow.

Take it.

Thank you.

The round rice balls are made of salmon.

The triangle ones... - Pickled plums, right?

Yes.

How did you know?

That's how you used to make them.

You used to make rice balls for me during summer training camps.

Is that so?

Yes, the round rice balls are made of salmon.

The triangle ones are made of pickled plums.

On the side, you'll place...

mustard pickles. - Mustard pickles.

Right.

I see.

Thank you.

For what?

The tickets.

Just tell me if you want more.

You haven't changed a bit.

What?

You don't seem to have a care in the world,

but you're actually very caring and considerate.

Thank you for your rice balls.

He was talking about the old days, right?

What?

Have you always liked ballet?

I learned ballet in elementary school.

Tep and I were classmates in senior high.

We might have talked about that before.

You call him Tep?

You two...

You...

Well...

What?

So you're worried about these things too.

I feel a bit at ease now.

The Creative Department has completed Plans A, B, C, D, E.

I personally prefer Plan B. What does everyone think?

Plan B is simple and nice.

But its thought isn't clearly communicated,

so it seems vague.

Let's use Plan C. Let's just use that one.
