Badly in Love (ラヴ上等)

SHARED FATE

I hope there's a nice girl.

I want to fall in love.

That's definitely a Japanese tattoo.

I haven't had much luck with love until now.

Are there any young, handsome men

who would want to go out with a couple of old ladies like us?

- Who are you calling an old lady? - You're the only one here.

This brat always has to talk back.

- It's about time I settled down. - I want a girl on this motorcycle.

The second time was also for assault.

I was a… marijuana dealer.

As I mentioned before, this time, everyone's participation

will be contingent on submitting to a drug test beforehand.

- Looks are important. - I'd lay down my life.

I don't wanna be looked down on.

- I wanna kill men like that. - Massacre them.

I'll show them.

I'm off.

LOVE

A MAN IN LOVE HAS NO FEAR. THE BADASS WAY.

BEGIN WITH A FIGHT, END WITH HONOR. LET LOVE BLOOM. THE BAD BITCH WAY.

MEN AND WOMEN ONCE FEARED FOR BEING BAD

WILL REVEAL THEIR ALL AND CHALLENGE FIGHT FOR THEIR LOVE

A YANKII DATING REALITY SHOW WHERE LOVE LIVES ON THE EDGE

BRING ON THE FIGHTS BRING ON THE LOVE

I got my first tattoo when I was 16.

When I get angry, it's like I can't stop myself.

I lose track of my surroundings.

If someone looks down on me, I'll sink them in the ocean.

I'm Taisei. I'm 22 years old, born in Hiroshima and raised in Tokyo.

I can make any girl fall for me.

Honestly, it's a piece of cake.

There's no one here.

Okay.

If there's trouble in Kyoto, I'm the one to call.

I always charge ahead.

We'd gather in the mountains and fight it out sometimes.

Stun guns, batons, Molotov cocktails… we used anything.

I'm Leo Yamamoto, 25 years old. I'm from Kyoto.

I'm really hoping to fall in love.

I want to have a big adult romance.

That'd be great.

Sorry I'm late.

All good.

- Nice to meet you. What's up? - You too. Hey.

- Let's fall in love. - Yeah.

- I can fall in love, fight, whatever. - Yeah?

I'm an ex-Self-Defense Force yankii rapper.

I got fired from the Self-Defense Force

for driving without a license and speeding.

I got arrested,

but I jumped out of the police car while it was moving and ran away.

I'm 29 years old, I'm from Kanagawa, and my name is Ari.

My friends call me Ari the Buddha.

Like, I'm clearly Ari the Buddha. Can you imagine me angry?

If there's girls, I'm gonna snatch 'em up.

Wow, those tattoos are sick.

A rapper?

A rapper.

- Nice to meet you. - You too.

You good?

I'm amazing.

I used to get into fights, like, three or four times a week.

I also became the leader of a biker gang.

BIKE GANG LEADER IN KYUSHU

I've been in a couple of juvenile rehabilitation programs.

I was in prison for about three years.

2 TIMES IN JUVIE 3 YEARS IN PRISON

I'm Mizuki Noguchi.

I'm 27 years old. From Kurume City, Fukuoka.

I have 40 or 50 ex-girlfriends, give or take.

What are you looking at?

- Huh? - Huh? Wanna fight?

Yeah?

You wanna go? Huh?

Come on! Come on!

Let's do it!

Come on! What you got?

What the hell?

You kneed me, you bastard! You used your knee!

- Huh? - Hey.

Yeah, bring it.

I'm gonna remember that.

I just was in a bike gang in my hometown,

then I was a petty thug, and then a yakuza.

I'd go to Nerima Station to buy guns. We were all packing.

The reason I went straight was for my family

or specifically because I wanted to be with my kid.

I don't have much confidence in romance.

I'm Masaya Oda. I'm 28 years old.

I work as a fighter and stuff.

A SHY EX-YAKUZA

When it comes to girls,

it takes me a while to make the first move, you know?

It's hard for me.

What, it's all guys?

- What the hell? - Just us so far.

- It's all guys. - Yeah?

- What's with you? Why are you staring? - What? Huh?

- What the hell? - You wanna go?

Do you? Huh?

- Come at me. - You come at me.

- Well, you asked for it. - What the hell?

Hey.

- What the hell? - Hey.

Huh? You wanna go?

Are you serious right now? Huh?

- What? - You punk.

You want this? Bring it on. Eh?

Hey, maybe we can just sit.

I haven't had many normal relationships.

Most of them were pretty extreme.

I only really have an elementary school education.

I rode off into the dawn on a stolen bike when I was 14.

A year earlier than Ozaki did it.

My name is Asuka Oguri.

I'm from Nagoya City. I run bars and stuff.

Right now, I'm the number one hostess at a hostess bar in Nagoya.

I want to find a good man, have a little fling, something fun.

A YOUTHFUL ROMANCE WITH THE BEST MAN

As long as his personality is really good,

I don't care if his face looks like sludge.

If there's someone I don't like, I might just beat them up.

Excuse me.

- Oh, she's cute. - Whoa.

- Where do I go? - That back tattoo is amazing.

- I'm Assun. Nice to meet you. - Hi.

- Hey there. - She's international.

- International? -

- I'm super Japanese. - Japanese?

- Yes. - Oh, really?

My real dad was a drug dealer.

I was in an environment where it was my job to carry syringes.

My mom was a total yankii.

All my exes have been yankii,

drivers for the yakuza, and so on.

I've been super popular.

In the end, I'll make everyone fall for me.

I'm Hikaru. I'm 23 years old.

I'm from Kawasaki in Kanagawa.

I'm hoping to find my husband here.

There better be some manly men.

Excuse me.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Nice to meet you.

We got a blondie.

- - Amazing.

What'll the next flavor be?

No joke, I'm super short-tempered.

If someone does something I don't like, I point it out.

All 30 of my ex-boyfriends were abusive.

It was normal for me to have a knife pointed at me, get punched in the face.

I've almost been killed. They'd tell me to die with them.

Marina Takaoka, 25 years old. And I'm from Osaka.

I thought getting hit was a sign of affection.

So I'm looking forward to finding true love.

So scary.

- Another international one. -

- So scared. - Is she Japanese?

Half-Japanese, definitely.

- From where? - I'm half Iranian-French.

- Huh? Wait, did you say? -

Okay, I get it. Oh, my God.

That's so funny.

There was a festival in my hometown, and there was a fight.

So I just snapped.

I cracked a few heads with a Zima bottle.

I don't think I can be into anyone who isn't an alpha.

All my exes have been bad boys.

They were all bad boys. Swear to God.

I still cheat on them, though.

I really do cheat on them.

My name is Ruru Tanaka. I'm 26 years old.

I was born in Shizuoka.

I want to fall in love with someone who I know I'll never let go of.

- What? This is crazy! - Whoa!

All these girls are international.

- - She's not international.

- Definitely not international. - Okay, hold on.

I'm surprised. Everyone is so much badder than I thought.

- Of course. Badder. - Badder?

- Hey. - Nice to meet you.

What kind of half are you?

- Half? Oh, I'm a pure Japanese. - Pure Japanese.

- Oh, wow. This is so hype. -

Everyone, please introduce yourselves.

- Yeah, let's do it. - Yay.

- Yeah, let's get it. I'll go first. - Yay!

Yay.

You're a rapper!

Whoo! Yay!

Uh, I like girls…

- …with blonde hair. - Hmm?

- Yeah, blonde. - Full of blondes here.
