At a small old two story Japanese building, a man finds the
Nitou Incense[/Koudou; 仁藤香堂分店] Store. A couple of good looking guys greet him. The
man asks for the owner and the two says that they are the owners. The smiling
two offers him some incense that they are selling but the man wants hangonko [返魂香] an
incense wood wherein one can see one’s deceased loved one and talk with them
upon burning it. While the two’s smile disappear, the man says that he heard
about someone experiencing it even if he doesn’t believe it so do they have it.
Smiling again, the glasses guy says that they have it and does he want to see
someone. The man says that his mother died a month ago and he wasn’t able to
see her one last time so he cannot accept that the inheritance given to his younger
sister which is more than his, when he’s the oldest son. Glasses guy’s eyes
narrow when the black haired guy quickly left. Glasses guy shows him the
incense that the man is more than willing to buy at any cost. After freaking
out over how much it is, the man left. Glasses guy angrily calls out to Aki
[black haired guy; name means Autumn] who is watching television for leaving
him behind with the customer. Aki tells Haru [glasses guy; name means Spring]
that it is alright since he can handle it. On the television, there is an
interview about an actress, Kurasawa Naomi [guesswork from 倉沢奈緒美]
who will star in Ginsberg[金斯伯格]’s [foreign] movie. Just then, they have a customer.
To their surprise, it is Naomi. Putting on their smile, they prepare to greet
her but their smiles freeze when Naomi complains over how hard it is to find
their store that she got lost and her feet hurts just when she is going to a filming
soon. Aki tries to escape but Haru grabs him and ask if she needs something.
She tells them that she doesn’t know for Kusao Shinobu [guesswork from 草尾忍]
told her that he kept something there. After checking the records, Haru says
that it is the Hangonko incense to a certain Tanaka Naomi [guesswork from 田中直美; I’m
assuming that she is using the name given name for her screen name though the
kanji is written differently]. Naomi says that’s her. They look at the picture
to see a fat girl [with another guy whose face is covered by a speech bubble].
Aki blurts out plastic surgery. This irritates Naomi. She got more furious when
Haru whispers to Aki that they can use this news in exchange for money. Naomi
shouts if they are swindlers and that isn’t her and who needs that incense.
Haru blames Aki and Aki says that they are both guilty. Haru wonders what to do
now..with the picture and incense. At the film shooting, Naomi complains about
her foot when Ginsberg asks if she is okay. Naomi slaps her face and plans to
concentrate on her first film which is a great opportunity for her. A jealous
female costar complains why Naomi was chosen when she is just some photo shoot
girl and maybe it is because of her [big] breasts. Naomi is furious that costar
is saying it out loudly and this isn’t an easy world wherein one can get a role
just because of one’s breasts.
