1. When people finish their day and hurry home,

2. my day starts.

3. My diner is open from midnight to 7:00 in the morning.

4. They call it "Midnight Diner."

5. Do I even have customers?

6. More than you would expect.

7. TOKYO STORIES

8. KITSUNE UDON

9. Is this the right street? Or it could be wrong?

10. - Maybe this is the right one. - It's the one, right?

11. Sorry.

12. Okay, this one...

13. Is this the one?

14. DINER

15. Look.

16. Yes, this is the one.

17. But there are only old people here.

18. Haruna, you go in first.

19. You wanted to come here, Akina.

20. That's true, but it doesn't matter.

21. You go first.

22. No, I can't.

23. Hey, you two!

24. Can I go in?

25. Please!

26. Good evening.

27. Welcome.

28. It's unusual for Marilyn to bring young girls here.

29. Are they new dancers?

30. No, they aren't.

31. They were outside.

32. Master, my usual and shochu on the rocks.

33. Sure.

34. How about you two?

35. Can you make kitsune udon?

36. Yes, I can.

37. Two, please.

38. Sure.

39. Here you go.

40. Please get me a role in the next audition.

41. Even a small role.

42. Please.

43. What do you two do for a living?

44. We are trying to be voice actors for animations.

45. We have an audition tomorrow. We're making a wish on kitsune udon.

46. - Right? - Yeah.

47. Making a wish?

48. I heard his kitsune udon would bring you good luck, correct?

49. I've never heard of it before.

50. A friend who had this dish had a successful audition.

51. I saw it on Instagram.

52. It's by luck. It's just an ordinary kitsune udon.

53. Is that so?

54. But they could be right.

55. Because he offers a deep-fried tofu to the shrine every day.

56. That's right.

57. Never say never.

58. - Let's eat. - Let's eat.

59. Delicious.

60. It's so good, isn't it?

61. Hey.

62. You could notice my dialect, on that last line, couldn't you?

63. You'll be fine if you are careful about intonation.

64. "That night, on the bridge..."

65. "On the bridge..."

66. "On the bridge..."

67. "On the bridge."

68. I'm not so sure any more.

69. No worries. You're okay.

70. - Really? - Say it again.

71. "On that night, on the bridge, I saw a man running—"

72. "On the bridge."

73. "On the bridge."

74. "On the bridge."

75. - "On the bridge." - That's it.

76. You sound good.

77. I'll treat you both tonight 'cause I'm a good person.

78. - Really? - There's no such thing as a free lunch.

79. I think you should just thank her.

80. We both didn't make it.

81. I see...

82. It didn't bring you good luck.

83. They say voice-acting jobs are very hard to get.

84. But Haruna was one of four final candidates.

85. An entertainment management company talked to Akina personally, though.

86. That's great!

87. You both have moved forward toward your dream a little.

88. It did bring you luck.

89. Here you go.

90. Two deep-fried tofu today?

91. A special treat from me.

92. Great!

93. Let's make sure we bring him better news next time.

94. - So nice to be young. I'm so jealous. - Let's eat.

95. Don't be silly. You're still young, Marilyn.

96. Don't bother.

97. About six months later...

98. Good evening.

99. Welcome.

100. Long time no see.

101. Could I have kitsune udon?

102. Sure.

103. I heard you've got a job as a voice actor.

104. Haruna told me the other day.

105. Yes.

106. Not exactly as a voice actor, though. I joined an idol group of voice actors.

107. So gigs and fan conventions only.

108. It's not my ideal job.

109. But it could lead to something else.

110. That's the spirit!

111. Has Haruna been here lately?

112. Yeah, sometimes after her part-time job.

113. You haven't seen her?

114. Not much.

115. It seems she's having a difficult time auditioning.

116. Why don't you give her a call?

117. Not now.

118. Because the more I try to cheer her up, the worse she'd feel.

119. We're really sorry.

120. Yes.

121. Yes. We will be more careful.

122. Yes.

123. We are terribly sorry.

124. Yes.

125. Kitsune udon?

126. No.

127. No point in me making a wish.

128. What's wrong?

129. Welcome.

130. Warm sake, please.

131. - Are you okay? - Yes.

132. I'll go home right after one drink.

133. He is Mr. Nobuta.

134. He is a manga artist who became very popular a few years ago.

135. He hasn't been doing well recently, though.

136. Here you go.

137. Money doesn't make you happy.

138. Again?

139. I can't get back the money I spent on the woman, or her love, either.

140. Master, what have I got now?

141. Work.

142. Go home now and do it.

143. That's harsh.

144. What?

145. You're Mr. Yukio Nobuta, aren't you?

146. I'm a huge fan of yours.

147. - Is that so? - Yes.

148. - Women always say that. - What?

149. But usually, they just happen to know my name.

150. Are you a student?

151. No. I don't think you'll believe me,

152. but I watched your animation on TV when I was a high school student.

153. I'm trying to be a voice actor.

154. You're so typical.

155. People think that they understand everything by just reading some.

156. If you understand that much, you should write!

157. Mr. Nobuta.

158. Cut it out.

159. But it's true.

160. UNTIL IT BECOMES LIGHT YUKIO NOBUTA

161. Why do you have this?

162. It was 30,000 yen on an online auction.

163. I saved money and finally got it.

164. I've read all your books.

165. Until It Becomes Light.

166. I heard you can't find it, even in the secondhand bookstores.

167. This is my very first book.

168. It didn't sell well, and later it was out of print.

169. I see.

170. I watch God's Miso Soup on TV every week.

171. I also read the one in STEP magazine every week.

172. Well, I haven't published any episodes in it lately.

173. Publisher says animation will take over comic books.

174. How come you don't write?

175. Because I can't.

176. They'll probably cut me off soon.

177. But I guess it's better than writing bad ones.

178. You can't tell if it's bad until you actually write.

179. I always fail auditions...

180. and I wonder if I'm really suited for voice acting.

181. But you never know until you do it!

182. I'm sorry.

183. Don't be.

184. You're right.

185. But the truth hurts me at the moment.

186. I'm terribly sorry.

187. We can't compare my problems with yours...

188. Master, this is for both of us.

189. Give me the change next time.

190. Sure.

191. Setting is now complete.

192. Do you have any more concerns?

193. Yes.

194. Yes. Thank you very much.

195. We'll play the message.

196. Hello, Haruna?

197. I wonder how you're doing. I haven't seen you at auditions lately—

198. How's your work these days?

199. I think I'll quit.

200. My production company told me

201. they'd end the contract if I can't do well.

202. I understand now.

203. I'm happy enough just watching animations.

204. I don't want to end up hating it, trying to get a job in the industry.

205. Have you read this?

206. GOD'S MISO SOUP STARTS AGAIN

207. Yes, of course.

208. Mr. Nobuta said the other day,

209. "I could make it, thanks to Haruna.

210. I learned from her that you'll never know until you do something."

211. I got this from him.

212. He asked me to give it you.

213. GOD'S MISO SOUP

214. VOICE ACTOR AUDITION FOR A NEW CHARACTER

215. Yes. Thank you.

216. Thank you.

217. You've got a gig and a fan convention right after this audition.

218. Yes.

219. I'll be there after I finish another appointment.

220. Thank you.

221. - Don't be late. - Of course not.

222. - Please have a seat. - Yes.

223. Excuse me...

224. Sorry.

225. Long time no see.

226. I'm sorry...

227. SHOTA

228. but I couldn't do it.

229. In this world, some can make it and some cannot.

230. I'm the one who cannot.

231. "Don't decide if you can't do it!

232. You do know...

233. You just don't want to fail."

234. SHINO

235. "But...

236. You never know the outcome until you try doing it."

237. Thank you very much.

238. Thank you very much.

239. She was good.

240. Next, Ms. Haruna Honma.

241. Yes.
