A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SR] Reminiscence of Blooming (1/2)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Masumi: (The bakery should still be open at this hour, so I’ll buy some curry bread for Director…)

Izumi: *Huff, huff*…

Masumi: —! …Director. Hand those bags to me.

Izumi: Woah, Masumi-kun! Are you on your way home from university? Welcome back.

Masumi: I’m back. I’m glad we got to meet each other before we reached the dorm… but for now, hand me your bags. They look heavy, so I’ll carry them.

Izumi: Thanks. Can I ask you to take this one and this one then?

Masumi: You can give them all to me.

Izumi: The rest are fine. You’ve helped me lots already. I’m glad I bumped into you, Masumi-kun.

Masumi: …Call me at moments like this. I’ll come dashing over right away.

Izumi: Got it. I’ll ask you for a favour when I can.

Masumi: Great.

Izumi: By the way, have you chosen a location to film for your video yet?

Masumi: Ah. The video for the introduction of Veludo Town, right… I haven’t decided yet, but I’m going to think it over soon.

Izumi: I see. I’m looking forward to which place you’re going to introduce.

Masumi: (Director’s looking forward to it… Let’s put some thought into it so I can make her happy.)

-pause-

Masumi: (…I came up with several places to introduce after that, but in the end, I haven’t settled on anything.) … (An arcade, huh… Itaru introduced one earlier on the MANKAI Channel, plus it’s not the kind of place I’d choose anyways—)

Itaru: Masumi?

Masumi: …God no.

Itaru: We just happened to bump into each other and I’m getting dragged. I see you’re looking at the arcade. Are you planning to go in or something?

Masumi: I didn’t mean to stare at it or anything.

Itaru: I see. But hey, seeing as we’re here, come join me for a bit. I’m gonna play some fighting games.

Masumi: Why me…

Itaru: It’s fine, it’s fine. Come on, hurry now.

Masumi: Don’t pull me.

-pause-

Game announcement: YOU WIN!

Itaru: Hell yeah! I feel super satisfied pulling off such a sick combo.

Masumi: Ugh…

Itaru: Ooh, someone looks mad. Wanna go again? I’ll take you on.

Masumi: …You’re on.

Itaru: That’s what I’m talking about.

Masumi: What a pain…

Itaru: I can’t heeear you.

Masumi: …

Itaru: By the way, you’re pretty into this fighting game too, huh?

Masumi: …I’m not into it. Don’t lump us together.

-pause-

Masumi: *Sigh*…

Izumi: Masumi-kun? What’s wrong? It looks like you got home a little late today.

Masumi: …I happened to run to Itaru on my way home from school and he made me go to the arcade with him. I’m drained. But I’m fine now. When I saw your face, all my fatigue blew away.

Izumi: Ahaha. I’m glad if you say so. In any case, I noticed you’ve started going to the arcade more often than before. Do you actually kind of like them?

Masumi: (…Director cares and notices the little things about me… I’m so happy.) I wouldn’t say I like them… but I think they’re good places to kill time. Winning in fighting games is surprisingly stress-relieving.

Izumi: Fufu, I see. It’s important to have places like that though, don’t you think? The fact that you can go there to kill time might make it a little more special than you think.

Masumi: That’s true… (…I wasn’t even considering it before. But maybe it wouldn’t be a bad place to introduce in my video.)

It is so very early in the 10-episode run of Thailand's adaptation of Addicted Heroin to give a flat statement on how the story is and will be presented. But so far, it's... cute. Like a lot of Thai productions are. (Please take away the 1980s cartoon soundboard from all the editors forever, especially for the Serious Plot Dramas.)

One of the main leads is 17 years old as of release. So, figure 15-16 while filming in a country where 20 is the age of majority. So everything gets (or should get) an immediate slap down for rating at the cost of the meat of the story. I'd rather have a 25 year old play 16 than either sanitize the material or have an actual teenager simulate sex on screen.

Look, I am all for Freedom of Plot and Fantasy and Exploration in fiction. I'm also a person who doesn't pretend that kids at 12 and 13 years old don't have skewed brand new sexual feelings that are being explored, usually through word-of-mouth rumors through other kids or porn, and experience so, so much shame about being curious about the absolutely very basic human drive to fuck.

Dicks get hard, pussies get wet. It's a natural thing. It's biology. But it's scary for the first time and every moment you're told it's Wrong, especially if you're queer. It should be explained and explored or it will combust into something poisionus, which is the whole point of Addicted. Two scarred and damaged teenagers obsessed over each other to the point of kidnapping because anything less doesn't feel like it's enough.

The 15 episodes of the Chinese version before it got the chop was dirty and messy from the plot beats to the filming. The Chinese version is full of "dirty" shots referring to the lingering lines and shadows of Bai Lou Yin or Gu Hai in the corners of each other's closeups, and also the grit that came from 2015/16 cameras.

Bai Lou Yin washes the blood off Gu Hai's shirt because Gu Hai nearly beat someone unconscious. You see the blood exploding on him. It's a visual metaphor. He didn't want these feelings, but they're present and vicious. Bai Luo Yin scrubbing them out is the start of a reluctant relationship between him and Gu Hai and also him and Auntie.

Hero has a mediocre punch and Pop mentions the invisible blood stains on his shirt and Auntie still comes to the rescue, but Hero's shirt was clean already. Everything is filmed so clean. The shots both inside and out of the convenience store (which will undoubtedly be a place of time filler instead of actual dirty, ugly plot, because proximity was never the problem and focusing on Pop's side job has nothing to do with him at all) are so, so bright and clean.

Addicted Heroin is ugly on purpose. This isn't supposed to be a pretty story. It's supposed to hurt. "Hai-Lou-Yin"/Heroin" was a major part of them. It's why "Heroin" is part of the title. They are the drug. They are the problem.

And now, "Hero" and.... "Pop". There's the slim chance that "Poppy" may get a nod to opium- Heroin- but I'm already unsure if this is willing to even bring up the idea of an actual unhealthy addiction. Which is the whole point!

Also. The fight at the beginning is a fake out puppy boyfriend being happy his boyfriend/fiance is home. There will be no conflict or the conflict will be shoehorned in at the last moment.
