-Behind our backs?

-Who cares what l do?

-l thought l told you , "No piano."

-That makes no sense.

lf you don't think l'm making sense,

then just say so !

Going behind our backs,

hoping you won't get caught,

l hate that kind of cowardly attitude

more than anything !

Look at this...

l n the letter from Kaneko,

it says Kenji's piano playing

is extraordinary.

That he's a rare child prodigy.

How can you possibly believe that?

How could our child be a prodigy?

Who the hell is this Kaneko, anyway?

This guy's nothing but bullshit!

My teacher isn't like that!

-And besides...

-What?

She's a she, not a guy.

What a idiot!

These music schools praise everyone,

that's how they make a living !

l'll give up playing piano, then!

Just leave me alone !

This is all your fault for not telling us.

You're the liar, Dad.

What?

You're lying when you say

you'll listen if l talk.

No matter how much l talk to you,

you won't change your mind !

Just like Mr Eroto. All you really want

to do is lecture me and act tough !

Stop it!

Are you okay?

Go on upstairs.

Don't hit him.

Why can't he play piano?

Once l've said no, l can't go back on it.

lt affects my authority as a parent.

l was too lenient with Takashi,

so l'm shoving my parental values

down Kenji's throat if l have to.

You have to stand by me.

He needs a clear message

from both parents.

What's that look for?

l saw you the other day.

You were standing

in the free food line at the park.

You're unemployed, right?

-You knew?

-Yes, all along.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because if l had ,

your authority would be screwed.

Screw your authority.

What?

Kenji!

Call an ambulance !

-l was just trying to grab him ...

-Shut up and call !

This is the 11:
00 News.

The US announces it is expanding

its war effort in the Middle East

and planning an increase

in military deployment.

According to the US

Department of Defense,

this deployment will include

soldiers of any nationality.

This means it is likely

that the 138 soldiers

recently recruited from Japan

will also be deployed.

A growing number of Japanese youths

are volunteering for the US military.

We interviewed some young people

to assess their views on the subject.

I support it.

We have a lot of trade with America,

so if America has a problem

that means Japan's directly affected.

So I think it's a good thing

to cooperate with the US

to try to help solve their problems.

I think that...like...

...like it's really good

if they're serious about it.

I support the troops.

According to the Japanese

Constitution,

it explicitly prohibits

our country from going to war.

So I can't believe it
