This can't be happening; I clasp my head in my hands,

As I struggle with my desire to escape from this saturated world.

Episode 2
「Heartless Song」
Inspired by Sakaguchi Ango's 「Meiji-era Ango Detective Stories "Les Misérables"」
Ah, what should I do?
All of the world,
is reflected so beautifully.
Just that fact is enough, isn't it?
Whoa, this is amazing!
Dol-pli, huh?
Drill pudding?
It's called an idol application.
A computerised dress-up doll.
We're sure making progress in a lot of ways lately.
You're lining up even though you didn't know?
I'm doing a job.
I was asked to go buy the new...
...what was it?
A song.
A song!
A song, right?
The new song release and voice data.
It's completely different than that old Vocaloid thing.
It's 100% indistinguishable from a real person!
I've only heard a sample, but it sure was awesome.
Yeah, the song was great, too!
It kinda reminded me of "Yonaga".
He shouldn't have said that.
Yeah, Yonaga's a bit taboo around here.
Geez...
That's dangerous to say.
The only songs that go up on the net are ones that have been thoroughly checked.
Emergency Exit
Excuse me!
The Dol-pli expansion data that was supposed to go on sale today has been banned.
What the hell are you saying?!
You have to be joking!
How long do you think we've been waiting in line?
It's not like you're running a food stand!
What do you mean, "banned"?
It was probably cancelled!
Shut up already!

I'm troubled by this, too!
Coming through.
Oh, this is terrible!
What's wrong?
A woman, who had boarded a white, unlicensed taxi,
told the driver she had forgotten an important piece of luggage.
I have somewhere else I need to be.
Driver, would you pick up and deliver my luggage for me?
Please.
Just as he was told, the driver went to retrieve the luggage from the place he'd been directed.
Which was the mansion of Osada Hisako,
a Yokohama investor, correct?
When he arrived at the Osada residence there was a suitcase being held by the gatekeeper, just as the woman had said.
Realising that it may hold something valuable, he opened it,
but inside was the mansion's owner, Osada Hisako herself.

Interesting.
Koyama-san, my father is merely in the business of supplying information.
He isn't a detective.
Don't worry about it.
This has piqued my interest.
I have no choice but to depend on the chairman, as this case has many mysteries surrounding it.
Kaishou Rinroku's daughter, Housekeeper
The culprit isn't the woman who hired the unlicensed taxi?

The suitcase had been left there by a different person: a man!

He left a memo saying "A white taxi will come to pick it up, so please hold onto it until then"!
The gatekeeper tried to refuse, but...
We believe that Osada Hisako was murdered while she was out on business.
Why did the culprit go through the trouble of putting the corpse in a suitcase and leaving it at the victim's mansion then?
President of JJ Systems
Kaishou Rinroku
President of JJ Systems
Kaishou Rinroku
And what's his relation to the white taxi woman?
Well, the truth of that very matter is...
The suspect is restaurant proprietor Aramaki Toshiji, 47 years old.
He became the lover of Osada Hisako in the years following the death of her husband.
I've heard that Aramaki has quite the strange hobby.
Aramaki cross-dresses as a hobby.
That means that the man who left behind the suitcase...
...and the woman in the white taxi were both Aramaki in disguise.
Aramaki was trying to remove himself from suspicion by creating the expectation of two criminals working together.
At the moment, we are putting all of our efforts into finding Aramaki.
It's so beautiful,

Thank you. You're the detective, right?
You want to find the person that killed your mum?
If that's the case, didn't Kaishou Rinroku reach a conclusion a few days ago?
Uncle Aramaki isn't the murderer!
He's hiding, isn't he?
My mother had been receiving threats for a long time.
Every month she would deliver money to a hotel in Shinagawa.
Shinagawa?
Please deliver the suitcase to the Toukyuu Hotel in Shinagawa.
That sounds fishy, Shinjuurou.
So, the person that was threatening her...?
Possibly someone from Yonagahime...
No, I have no idea!
But the culprit must be someone else.
Understood! Please leave everything to this Defeated Detective, Yuuki Shinjuurou!
The lights of the city are so beautiful, aren't they?
Yokohama...
Ah, that's the song from before!
My grandmother taught it to me.
Ah.
In my grandmother's country, it was illegal to play Japanese songs on the radio or television.
Nonetheless, this song became popular and everyone would sing it secretly.
The power of music is incredible, isn't it?
Are you perchance aiming to be a singer?
Yes. At one point, I thought it might be impossible,
but I've realised that I mustn't give up on my dream.
Because you believe that it will eventually come true?
What's wrong, Shinjuurou?
Even if the culprit was Aramaki,
why would he leave the suitcase at the victim's home?
What are you trying to say?
Yonagahime... Yonaga...
All images and sounds of Yonagahime have been removed from the net.

If anyone re-uploads them, they'll be arrested under the New Information Privacy Protection Act.
Do you seriously not know anything about Yonagahime?
Well, I wasn't in Japan at the time.

Whoa.
The world comes awake,
as the dawn nears.
Shining beautifully,
until the end.
They became national idols.
During the war, there wasn't a single day that they didn't appear on TV.
"Let's strike back against terrorist attacks!"
"Let's send out a massive amount of troops!"
The lyrics were strongly influencing public opinion,
so the Public Prosecutor's office prohibited it from being broadcast.
What's the "3+1" mean?
"Yonagahime 3+1". There's actually a whole story behind it.
What is this?
Yonagahime was originally supposed to be a four person group, apparently.
But just before their début, one of the members became a victim of the very first terrorist attack on Tokyo.
It's known as the "12/23 Attack".
Her image was even captured on surveillance cameras.
Eri isn't dead!
She's here with us!
The four of us together are Yonagahime.
We'll never lose, never cry!
We're going to take back our dream!
Please, listen!
It was this moment that sent their popularity sky-high.
They even used Eri's voice, which had been pre-recorded.
Rise up, (You...)
it's time, (...already know.)
to depart.
Though our wings are broken from the fall...
Forever we will,
That's rumoured to be Eri's voice.

We will protect praying maidens everywhere...
Even after my little sister dissolved Yonagahime,

They're both already here!
Yonaga! Yonaga!

The authorities know who killed Osada-san, don't they?
I hear the two of you were coming to meet the victim here once a month.
That's-
I looked into it.
The victim was being threatened by someone.
That's not... the president was just...
Osada-san was worried about us,
so she tried to cover our living expenses.
Lady, when you're not talking, you could be mistaken for a man.
The people who handled Osada Hisako's body were said to be a mysterious man and woman.
You must be joking!
Are you saying that we had a hand in the president's death?!
I'm wrong?
Yes, of course you are!
Now that the president is gone, I have no idea how I'll live my life.
At first glance, a male and female duo.
A Shinagawa hotel.
A closely entangled relationship with Osada Hisako.
It seems that someone wanted us to think you two were the culprits.
Someone?
So that we'll never forget that day...
What if it's Eri-chan's ghost?!
Eri died... in the "12/23 Attack".
Yumeno?!
Inga!
I can't... I can't hold it in any longer, Shinjuurou!
What's wrong?
What are you playing dumb for?
You know well enough...
...where the truth lies.
But we don't know the motive.
Let's just clear that up, then.
You said it yourself,
"I'll show you what a real human is."
"I'll show you the truth about humans."
I know, but I still don't know the truth...
You're lying!
What are you seeking?
What are you trying to protect?
Oh, kind Shinjuurou...
Is the one you feel sorry for that girl?
Yourself?
Even if you pity yourself, nothing will change.
Tell me. What should I ask?
Come, answer me.
Who is the real fourth member of Yonagahime?
I'm not supposed to tell anyone.
Don't bother resisting.
People have no choice but to answer her question.
Her one, single question.
Answer me!
Who is the fourth member of Yonagahime?
Who?!
Yonagahime was a three person group.
What about Anzai Eri, who was caught up in the terrorist attack?
When our début was decided upon,
Osada-san brought that video with her.
She said we'd pretend that the girl was one of us.
They even had a track of her singing.
We'd never even met a girl named Eri!
But we couldn't refuse;
they said we'd become stars!
When the war ended, Yonagahime was dissolved.
We were warned never to tell the truth about "Eri".
That if we did...
Emergency Exit
The lights of the city are so beautiful...
A-Are you sure about this?
No matter how far we walk...
Hello?
Yes...
Why? What are you saying?!
Why did it get cancelled?!
It's hopeless... there's really bad reception out here.
I lost the call.
There were two culprits.
They were receiving money from your mother each month,
and meeting in a Shinagawa hotel.
The only people that fit that description are Yumeno-san and Kumi-san of Yonagahime.
I... I can't believe those two would...
But... I see, if Kumi-san disguised herself,
she could appear to be a man...
...which is what you wanted everyone to think.
But Kaishou ended up selecting someone else as the murderer.
Did you panic?
What are you... talking about?
Anzai Eri, who's supposedly resting here...
...that's you, isn't it? Osada An-san.
When Osada Hisako brought about the début of Yonagahime,
she created a fictional member that was killed in a terrorist attack,
and used your exceptional voice to corroborate the story.
I analysed it.
Your voice matches "Anzai Eri's" almost perfectly.
It's also nearly identical to the Dol-pli expansion data that was taken off the market the other day.
Is that so?
I had my doubts from the beginning.
Why would the culprit go through all the trouble of delivering the suitcase to the victim's home?
It was so that anyone who lived there wouldn't be considered as a suspect. Isn't that so, Osada An?
I wanted to sing.
I'm sure you did.
Your singing is wonderful.
I was a child when Yonagahime was formed,
so I didn't understand any of it then.
I wasn't bothered by my voice being used for "Anzai Eri".
After all, I was able to hear my voice on TV every single day.
But then the war ended...
And Japan, having lost the war, was so depressed...
...I felt that I had to cheer everyone up with my singing.
But Mum told me I couldn't sing!
And all of my offers began to fall through.
I didn't want to give up!
I wanted to believe that my dream would come true!
That's why I thought Dol-pli data would be the perfect solution, since my name wouldn't be on it,
but she said I couldn't do that either.
She said there were people who would be troubled, should anyone recognise the voice of a dead girl.
They were stolen from me... my songs... Yonagahime...
...all because of my mother!
Forever we will bathe in sorrow,
we will protect praying maidens everywhere.
The tears that appear in their eyes,
are from committing the greatest sin.
Wave your flag of courage lovingly...
And still... in that last phone call I was turned down for a singing career.
The suspect, Aramaki, was found as a corpse.
It was a crime of passion.
The Victim's Lover
Aramaki Toshiji
The Victim's Lover
Aramaki Toshiji
He committed suicide as soon as he realised he couldn't escape.
You killed him?
Kaishou's deduction, huh?
The murderer was Aramaki.
Nonetheless, Osada An's voice will not be made public.
This measure is in compliance with the New Information Privacy Protection Act.
No...
Then... for what reason did I kill my Mum?
Oh? Is she having a breakdown?
Of course she is.
People die. Things break down.
Nothing is unbreakable.
So being, I will break as well.
I'm merely searching.
Why search?
Because I'm not important enough to afford living without searching.
I will keep searching.
Kaishou Rinroku!
You were the ones that created the story that Anzai Eri was a victim of terrorism, weren't you?
The images of Eri were fake as well.
Yonagahime was an idol group formed for the purpose of raising wartime spirits.
But after the war, you knew there'd be trouble if anyone found out.
That's why you people...
How terrible! A conspiracy theory?
All right! Let's get started!

Also, Komamori, Inamori, Mizuhiko, Tsuchihiko...

It says they have a disease that makes them collapse when they see someone's face,
so they've been made to wear masks their entire lives.
