Plan 75 - Review
“No approval need from your doctor or family,” a Plan 75 representative smiles at his elderly customer. In fact, the entire conversation about whether or not you should choose to end your own life in order to stop being an ‘economic burden’ is over in thirty minutes or less. How is that for service? Director Chie Hayawaka makes her feature-length debut with Plan 75, a film set in a financially…

Tokiya Ichinose (Repeat)
Translator: Koto (Twitter: kotowari16)
Proofreader: Mimi (Twitter: _mimisaurora)
QA: Raz (Twitter: agnadance), Rei (Twitter: wolfe_raine)
November — Tremolo of Winter
(*Tremolo = vibrating)
Otoya Ittoki: Oh. Good morning. Nanami! Thanks for your hard work the other day.
Haruka Nanami: Good morning. Thank you so much for what you did during the performance.
Otoya Ittoki: Aah, don’t worry about it. By the way… How did it end with Tokiya? Did he actually show up?
Haruka Nanami: Yeah… Though he didn’t make it in time for the performance, he did come rushing in.
Otoya Ittoki: I see. That guy always seems busy somehow, doesn’t he? It’s often already midnight when he returns.
Otoya Ittoki: In the morning he’s also up really early. At 4am he’s already left. Just when does he sleep…?
Ah… I see, it’s because there’s the recording of Ohayaho News… He has no choice but to wake up early.
Otoya Ittoki: Wont it be a problem for you if you’re partner is so busy you can’t practice all that much?
Haruka Nanami: No… that’s…
Otoya Ittoki: Ah, well... I would have been glad if I could have been your partner. That way we could always be together.
Otoya Ittoki: I really do love your songs a lot! When I hear Tokiya listening to them on his side of our room, I always seem to get a jealous.
Tokiya Ichinose: Otoya… Could you please not make a pass at someone else’s partner?
Otoya Ittoki: Ah, Tokiya, morning!
Haruka Nanami: Good morning.
Otoya Ittoki: ’Making a pass’, I wasn’t really… Besides, isn’t she wasted on you? I would never make her feel lonely.
Haruka: A… ehm…
I somehow felt like the situation had turned dangerous.
Tokiya Ichinose: I am doing my best.
Somehow, Ichinose-san seemed more angry than usual… Why?
Otoya Ittoki: But, you’re not too concerned about it, are you? Like during the performance, she did her best all by herself and I felt for her.
Otoya Ittoki: You too, it would be better if you just said what you want to say without holding back. This guy’s super thick-headed. If you don’t say it clearly, it won’t get through.
Select the Phrase!
もう少し一緒に・・・ If we were together more... (+20 Love, +5 Music)
Haruka Nanami: I was also wondering … if we’d be able to practice a bit more together. Ah. But it’s alright. Being busy is a good thing.
Haruka Nanami:Ichinose-san will continue to grow more popular from now on. He’ll definitely be busier than he is now.
Haruka Nanami:That’s why… I can’t just selfishly speak up. I just got to do my best a-…
Tokiya Ichinose: You don’t have to hold back. If you feel like we don’t get enough practice, I will take care of it properly.
Haruka Nanami: REALLY!? T-Thank you very much!
Otoya Ittoki: Pfuh. You’re nicer than I thought. I’m a bit relieved. Sorry for saying those rude things.
Otoya Ittoki:You know… I really wanted to hear your song as well, I got a bit frustrated… Seems like I was taking out my anger on you now, so don’t worry about it.
Tokiya Ichinose: I have never been concerned about your opinion.
Otoya Ittoki: Uwah. Rude.
While they were saying that, both of them were laughing. Friendship between guys is nice, isn’t it…
Haruka Nanami: Ah, it’s already this late.
HAYATO: OHAYAHO~! How are all the ten million HAYATO fans all over the country doing nya?
HAYATO: We have decided that today’s theme will be “autumn colours”. The colourful leaves are very beautiful, aren’t they?
HAYATO: That said, I’ll be going to Mount Takao later today!
HAYATO-sama… No. Ichinose-san… you’re working hard today as well.
That’s right… I am HAYATO-sama’s partner.
…………………….
A, ah… Somehow … Once that realization kicked in, my heart suddenly started pounding.
Oh no... I'm not sure if I can look at him directly anymore...
Ichinose-san… He’s cool after all, isn’t he…?
Tokiya Ichinose: …What is it?
Haruka Nanami: Ah… No. Erm… Today HAYATO-sama was really wonderful as well.
Tokiya Ichinose: Is… that so…
Ichinose-san turned away with a sullen look on his face.
Hm…? Did I say something I shouldn’t have?
Tokiya Ichinose: You prefer guys like HAYATO after all, don’t you?
Haruka Nanami: ???
HAYATO-sama and Ichinose-san are the same person, so I thought HAYATO-sama was a side of Ichinose-san…
Tokiya Ichinose: … You also seemed to have a lot of fun when you were talking to HAYATO before.
Tokiya Ichinose: You wore an expression that you usually don’t show me when you were with HAYATO, …
What? I-I guess so. Though I thought that I for sure was making a fuss…
Tokiya Ichinose: By the way, you were acting close with Otoya just now, weren’t you? Since when did you become friends?
Haruka Nanami: I wouldn’t go as far as to say we’re close… But since the school festival when…
Select the Phrase!
助けていただいて・・・ He helped me out… (+10 Love)
Tokiya Ichinose: Helped? You? Don’t tell me that Otoya sang your-…
With a grim expression, Ichinose-san raised his brows in worry.
Haruka Nanami: No… he just happened to be the MC at that time, and he was making the talk before the performances exciting.
Tokiya Ichinose: Is that… so… That was rude of me… Your song belongs to you, not me…
Tokiya Ichinose: Even though it should be okay if that song is sung by anyone… After we debut and this song is added to the karaoke database, people in the entire country will end up singing that song.
Tokiya Ichinose: Though I understand it in my head… When I thought about Otoya singing that song, I somehow couldn’t control my emotions.
Tokiya Ichinose: Otoya resembles HAYATO a bit, doesn’t he?
Haruka Nanami: …You think so?
Tokiya Ichinose: Yeah. I’m sure that if Otoya was made to act a bit more artificial, he would become someone closely resembling HAYATO.
Tokiya Ichinose: When I saw Otoya for the first time, I was surprised. I’m sure that if HAYATO was real, he’d be like that…
Tokiya Ichinose: Bright, unrestrained and free, can’t help but to attract people. Almost like the complete opposite of me.
Haruka Nanami: But... I think you also have a charm that attracts people.
Tokiya Ichinose: Then, I ask you, what is my charm? Is it my skill? My looks? What do I have that he doesn’t?
Haruka Nanami: …
He kept asking questions in rapid succession and I was at a loss for words.
Even though I know that Ichinose-san has oh-so-many good qualities… I couldn’t put it into words very well.
Haruka Nanami: Erm… How about trying to sing like HAYATO-sama, once…?
Tokiya Ichinose: …Why?
Haruka Nanami: HAYATO-sama and Ittoki-kun are different. But Ichinose-san and HAYATO-sama possess the same thing.
Haruka Nanami: I don’t think that HAYATO-sama is an artificial being. You deny him too much…
Haruka Nanami: I want you to bring out his charm more, it does exist within you …
Tokiya Ichinose: The HAYATO within me…?
Haruka Nanami: …Yes.
Tokiya Ichinose: I’m sorry… Let’s stop here for today. Even if I sing now, I’m sure it won’t turn into something good with how I’m feeling now.
Haruka Nanami: …Alright.
Ichinose-san was frowning deeply again…
I was wondering if I ended up saying some things that I shouldn’t have…
I didn’t feel like returning to the dorm, so I was working on the arrangement in the classroom by myself.
I knew that Ichinose-san was HAYATO-sama, and l knew of the charm that Ichinose-san had been desperately hiding until now.
I just wanted to pull that out, no matter what.
I am absolutely certain, however that he was trying with all his might to hide it so that it wouldn’t be found that he was HAYATO-sama.
Haruka Nanami: I wonder if Ichinose-san hates HAYATO-sama...
Kuppuru: Meow.
Haruka Nanami: Ah… Kuppuru… You shouldn’t enter the classroom.
Kuppuru: …Meow meow!
Kuppuru just shook its head sideways in denial.
That’s weird.
Even though it’s always such an obedient little one…
Haruka Nanami: Then… just for today, okay?
I put Kuppuru on my lap and patted his head.
Kuppuru: Meow.
Haruka Nanami: Say, Kuppuru… I wonder if I’ve made a mistake…
Kuppuru: Meow?
Haruka Nanami: Ah, I’m sorry. You don't understand what I'm talking about. What happened was…
I told Kuppuru about what happened today.
I’m the only one who knows that Ichinose-san and HAYATO-sama are one and the same, and I can’t consult anyone about it either…
But talking to Kuppuru about it should be okay, right?
And so, I continued talking to Kuppuru until nightfall.
…
……
…………
Hm? I fell asleep?
???: Good morning, Little Princess.
…Who?
In front of me stood a man I had never seen before.
Glossy hair, tanned skin and well-carved facial features…
He almost looked like a prince who escaped from Arabian Nights…
Haruka Nanami: E… erm… May I ask who you are?
Cecil Aijima: Please call me Cecil. My Lady…
… He kissed the back of my hand.
His behaviour was also like that of a prince…
Cecil Aijima: I have come to save you from a lake of tears.
Haruka Nanami: What…?
Cecil Aijima: You are finding yourself amidst the darkness of confusion which is called uncertainty.
Cecil Aijima: It is a sin to not reach out when one is capable of doing so… And in the name of the gods, I cannot sin.
Cecil Aijima: And therefore, tonight, I will be the apostle who will save you.
W-What should I do? Even though he’s speaking Japanese, I don’t understand at all.
Cecil Aijima: I can see the light.
All of a sudden, Cecil-san drew closer to my face and looked into my eyes from a very close distance.
Cecil Aijima: There are stella shining brightly within your eyes. Those are the lights of hope that will guide starving travelers to the oasis.
Cecil Aijima: You have nothing to worry about.
Haruka Nanami: Erm… What does that…
Cecil Aijima: You love the song of the person you love, don’t you?
Select the Phrase!
・・・はい。…I do. (+20 Love)
Cecil Aijima: In that case, you have nothing to worry about.
Haruka Nanami: Is that… so…? What if I do something wrong…?
Cecil Aijima: No. Your eyes are directly looking at him. There is no way those eyes could have made a mistake.
Haruka Nanami: I wonder what was up with that guy yesterday?
After I took my eyes off him for a split second, Cecil-san disappeared.
Could it be that I was hallucinating?
Haruka Nanami: Anyhow, I’ll try talking to Ichinose-san properly one more time during today’s practice.
I was walking through the backyard with such things on my mind, when I saw Hyuuga-sensei and Ichinose-san.
Haruka Nanami: Ichinose-sa…
Ryuya Hyuga: So, Nanami… I wouldn’t have thought… I see, that’s why you’ve been feeling bad recently…
Eh…? Me?
I hesitated calling out to them the moment I heard my own name.
Tokiya Ichinose: … I’m sorry. I caused you to worry about me, teacher.
Ryuya Hyuga: Nah, taking care of our students’ mental health is also part of a teacher’s duty, don’t worry about it…
Ryuya Hyuga: But I gotta say, I thought you were the type of guy who absolutely wouldn’t fall in love. It’s unexpected. You’re all grown up as a man, aren’t ya?
Tokiya Ichinose: …I’m also human. I fall in love as much as everyone else. …However, I do not intend to break the no-love rule established by Saotome-san.
Tokiya Ichinose: Cost what it costs, I want to… I want to debut as Ichinose Tokiya.
Tokiya Ichinose: Not as HAYATO… Not as that fabricated thing which behaves according to a prepared scenario… but as my own self…
Tokiya Ichinose: For that I have no choice but to seal my love away. I am still… capable of doing so.
Ryuya Hyuga: …Serious, aren’t we? Well, I’m not telling you this as your teacher, but you can still date in secret.
Ryuya Hyuga: But if you do, you’ll have to completely deceive the eyes of the teachers and that president…
Tokiya Ichinose: …Aah, it’s impossible, isn’t it? … It’s probably the first time I’ve falling in love with a person.
Tokiya Ichinose: She’s a composer. In the future, with her talent... she’ll charm a lot of people with her music.
What? Could it be that he’s talking... about me?
That he was thinking about me in that way…
Tokiya Ichinose: I don’t want to take away her future because of a temporary emotion. I want to keep listening to the songs she makes…
Tokiya Ichinose: And I want to continue singing for as long as I can. For that, I will overcome a few pains like this.
Tokiya Ichinose: If I have no choice but to discard my feelings for us to be together, then I will do so. That is my resolve.
Ichinose-san… You were thinking that much of me…
What should I do? I love this man so much.
I want to meet his expectations. And I want to bring out his charm that only I know of.
And for that reason...
Select the Phrase!
好きにならないと。I have to like him more. (+10 Love, +5 Music)
More… I will make a lot more songs with as much love as possible.
I left that place with neither of them noticing me.
Tokiya Ichinose: I’m sorry. I’m late.
Haruka Nanami: Don’t worry… I just got here myself. Say… Ichinose-san.
Select the Phrase!
いい歌にしましょうね。Let’s make a great song, shall we? (+20 Love, +5 Music)
Tokiya Ichinose: Yeah. Of course. I’m the only one who’s able to express your song for a 100%. I take pride in that.
Haruka Nanami: I also think that I’m the only one who can make a song that will bring out Ichinose-san’s charm.
I love this person. I want to debut with this person.
For that, I have no choice but to abandon my “love”.
The feelings I realized for the first time. I really wanted to cherish them… However.
Let’s lock my heart for now, and seal away these feelings.
Regardless of what I have to do, regardless of what sacrifices I have to make, I want Ichinose-san to debut.
Mini Game
Ryuya Hyuga: We’re gonna do an unannounced test today, first time in a while. Get your textbook.
Ryuya Hyuga: If you get a low score, you’re taking supplementary classes for a week! Do your best and aim for the perfect score!
Ryuya Hyuga: The format is the same as before, but I think you have learned and gathered some knowledge as well. The level of difficulty of the questions will also be higher than before. Get ready!
Ryuya Hyuga: Choose the answer you think is right from the options! Alright, it’s time. START!
S Rank
It seems like I can aim for any height when I’m with you.
Happy that I managed to get a good score, I showed my score sheet to Ichinose-san the next day.
Tokiya Ichinose: You’re a hard worker, aren’t you? Continuing to work hard is also a talent. Please have faith in yourself.
Haruka Nanami: I will! Thank you!
Let’s continue to work hard from now on as well.
Chapter End

Chieko Baisho in Plan 75 (Chie Hayakawa, 2022)
Cast: Chieko Baisho, Hayato Isamuro, Stefanie Arianne, Taka Takao, Yumi Kawai, Hideko Okata, Kazuyoshi Kushida. Screenplay: Chie Hayakawa, Jason Gray. Cinematography: Hideho Urata. Production design: Setsuko Shiokawa. Film editing: Anne Klotz. Music: Rémi Boubai.
Plan 75, Chie Hayakawa's debut feature, is a fable about a future in which the problem of an aging population in Japan produces legislation that encourages people over 75 to take the option of government-funded euthanasia. It's a very near future: The clothes, architecture, cars and trucks, and even the advertising design all look contemporary. Hayakawa takes a somber, thoughtful, low-key approach to material that could very easily be turned into a horror movie or a biting satire. In fact, the film is perhaps a little too somber and low-key, for the strongest note in the film is pathos, which tends to blunt its edge. The central character is Michi Kakutani (Chieko Baisho), who has reached the age of eligibility for Plan 75, as it's called, with no job, no family, and the threat of having no place to live. She gets much encouragement to sign up from the media, from advertising, and even from those in her age cohort, so she takes the step. At the same time, some of the young people who have been hired to administer the program begin to ask questions about it. Hiromu Okabe, who works in recruiting people for the plan, discovers that his uncle Yukio (Taka Takao) has signed up for it. When Hiromu looks into how the plan is funded, he discovers evidence of corruption. Maria (Stefanie Arianne), a Filipina who works in Japan so she can send money back home to pay for her daughter's operation, takes a job with the plan that involves removing the clothes of the deceased and sorting through their belongs. There are echoes of the Holocaust in what she does, and she finds corruption, too. And Yoko (Yumi Kawai), who works as a counselor for those who sign up, spending 15 minutes a week on the phone with them, begins to have doubts about her job when she violates protocol and meets Michi in person, finding a woman still full of life and spirit. Still, the program is such a success that by the end of the film the government is thinking of lowering the eligibility age to 65. Almost all of the conflict in the film is internal: The only sign of opposition to the program comes when something is flung at a poster Hiromu is putting up. Hayakawa deserves praise for not yielding to conventional movie sensationalism, but as haunting as the film is, it would have benefited from a slightly sharper edge.
