Hungry! (ハングリー！)

This restaurant has absolutely nothing to do with my mother

and it's completely crap!

He's more irritating than I expected.

Why did you start it up again? The restaurant.

I'll make that kind of food for you.

Love...

This feeling is... love?

I'm hungry.

Ow, ow, ow.

What are you doing here so late?!

Hey, are you okay? Taku!

Hey, Taku!

Tell me your name and age. -Hiratsuka Taku. 25.

So you're a part-time worker...

Hey, hey... Hold on... Who's a part-time worker?

Look carefully. I'm a rock musician!

He's a trespasser and he just got out of prison.

You just got out of prison?! So, you have a criminal record?

No, no, it doesn't count as a crime. Hey, hold on...

What the hell man?! When someone collapses in front of you,

you're supposed to take 'em to the hospital!

Delivering a suspicious guy to the police is my duty as a citizen!

Huh? Weren't you my friend? -Who betrayed us first?!

Shut up, you two!!

I'm starving, you know!

I'll send you both to prison. Bastards...

We're sorry.

If you're hungry, I got some spare food.

Hey!

This is good!!

I don't know what happened between you guys, but just forgive him.

A guy who cries while eating can't be a bad guy.

I didn't get along well with Taku from the beginning.

That's wrong, that's not it.

You got the lyrics wrong again! -Oh, it is?

Huh? Do you even understand the lyrics?!

Hey, hey, Eisuke, don't get fed up, okay?

Yup, yup. I'll get the audience excited.

You guys just relax and stand back here.

Okay, let's go again. C'mon! Let's start again.

However, he had more talent than I realized, and as a result our popularity rose.

Two years after Taku joined us, we got our first...

Sorry to make you guys wait. -Nice to meet you.

Have a seat, please.

Thank you.

I'll just go straight to the point,

I want you guys to work for us.

I want ROCKHEAD

to have a debut under our label. -Seriously?!

...we got a debut offer from a recording company.

No, no, no... I mean...

How should I say this... It came all of a sudden... It's a bit...

Alright! We're finally debuting!

However, as a result of the music slump during that period, the offer was retracted...

...and time passed by without any changes...

I'd never become like you,

a bunch of old geezers and losers.

Taku decided to quit our band, and...

joined INJECTION, a visual kei band.

Wassup! From today, I'll be...

Have some...

No, I... don't do...

Hey, don't move. Yes, we're the police. Don't move!

Stay still! -You guys are arrested for narcotic drug abuse!

Hey, are you one of them?

No, no, no. -Hey, move!

I'm not a member yet.

No, really. I have nothing to do with them.

After the misunderstanding was finally cleared...

Hello, I'm Taku-chan! Be good to me!

Hello!

Shiroyama-san introduced him to a job as a host...

Being as good as he is with women,

he snatched away the number one host's customer.

Don't get carried away!

He was beaten up by the jealous hosts who claimed he had broken a rule.

So, due to the arrest, he lost his fans and women,

had nowhere to go and rolled over here.

What a dazzling life he has.

That goes for you too, though.

Sorry. You came all the way here and this happened.

It's fine.

What are you doing?

It should get better if I give it more time.

I'm sure everything will be fine when I get it running normally.

You're right. I'm going home now. -What? But...

Have some breakfast before you go. -No, it's okay.

We're kinda, living at odds with each other off-late.

At odds?

You and I.

For some reason, you feel far away.

Is it love?

I'm so hungry.

No way.

Wait. I don't think we're at odds.

It's fine. I just came to tell you directly

that the marmalade tasted so good. That's all.

Oh, it was? That's good.

It's so good that it worries me. I eat too much lately.

I'm suppose to be on a diet.

You don't need a diet.

I do.

You haven't been paying attention to me. You don't know.

They're such a mature couple.

So, they're together in the morning, too.

It's not in daytime, evening or late at night...

...but to be together in the morning, means they're adults, huh. -Don't you think?

They didn't stand out, either.

Just quietly having a conversation.

In a very intimate way. -So that beauty

is his girlfriend, after all.

What's this big difference of life?

An office lady who was with her boyfriend before going to work in the morning, and

a farm girl who dig out onions and

cultivate lactic-acid bacilli since morning...

Wow, the bacillus are multiplying!

How cute! -Really?

I lost my appetite.

Wow! So those foods are made here.

Kenta-san, you're so good with the knife!

Aren't I? I just got a haircut so I feel refreshed!

I envy your light hand. -Oh? This, huh? This.

Just slide it over, that's the trick.

How cool. Men who are good in cooking.

Eisuke-san is even more amazing.

I can't believe he was formerly a musician.

He was formerly a musician?

Hey! Don't get carried away, dammit!!

We only had 10 guests yesterday, dammit!

10 is the highest number we had, so far!

Dammit! Shit! Crap!

That's true.

You seem to have a worse mood than usual today.

It's all that guy's fault. Damn. I'll kick him out before we're opening.

Hold it, Eisuke, I think the biggest problem of this place

...is your face.

My face?! -Let's think of it for a moment.

Let's say there's a restaurant that serves delicious food but the waiters are unfriendly that it makes you feel terrible.

And there's another that serves food with mediocre taste with smiling and friendly waiters that makes you feel good.

Which one do you prefer?

It's definitely the former for me. Taste is the restaurant's soul.

Seriously? I prefer the one that would make me feel good.

I think I prefer that one, too.

Me too.

No matter how good the food is, sometimes you wouldn't want to come again due to the waiter's bad attitude.

That's right. Based on my experience, most Japanese who loves having meal outside would prefer the latter.

Listen, Eisuke. The Japanese people is particular about taste.

However, they also tend to like restaurants

that makes them feel good, too. Would you prefer...

to eat a curry with shit flavor? Or a shit with curry flavor?

That's the big problem.

Don't talk about shits here.

Eisuke.

Try to smile.

Smile? -Yes. A smiling face.

Kenta-kun and Tsuyoshi-kun are practicing to be good at knives.

For this restaurant's sake, you should practice smiling.

Why should I do that?

Eisuke, smile.

No! Do it more sincerely!

More! Show your teeth!

It's not working. There's no freshness nor soothing effect in your smile.

What? You just made me do something so embarrassing!

To think of it, our MC part during live performances were boring,

before Taku joined us, huh.

Okay then, I know!

Should I do it?

I don't mind working here for you.

Translator - yanie

Re-timing & QC - koitsu

Actually I was thinking inside the jail.

That my true friends are only you guys.

Jail? -So...

Let's get along again. I won't runaway this time.

Oh, but I'll be just working part-time here.

I mean, you know... unlike you guys, I'm still young.

I have a promising future, right?

So, I'd only be here until I find the next band!

Who is that?

Not sure... but he seem to be a very self-centered kid.

He totally hasn't realized the atmosphere has turned so cold here.

And so, and so...

...why did the three of you decided to open a restaurant?

Do you get popular this way? -Stop kiddin' me!

Hey, hey... why?

It was how it suppose to be, right? You guys are in trouble,

and I'm like, the Saviour who came to the rescue!

Dumbass. To think of it, we disbanded

because you quit, in the first place.

That's true. You're a traitor. Just go to hell.

Yeah. I don't have even 1 yen to employ you.

If you don't want to get minced, you better get the hell outta here now!

Get out!

Get lost.

Oh well... Got it, OK, bye.

Oh yeah...

Thanks for the sandwich, man!

That's an onyx.

Onyx enhances one's ability and adjusts one's emotion.

The crystal is good too. It removes one's ill will.
