This is your new face.
It's exactly what I hoped for.
To be able to have this face...
I will definitely become a top actress.

- Next is Masubuchi Emiko-san. - Yes.
Serial Drama "Acchan's Dream" Audition
And... Start!
The shop that father left behind is my treasure.
- That's why... - Cut! That's enough.
Umm... Please let me finish to the end.
If the way I'm saying the lines is wrong, then I'll correct them.
- I'm not talking about the lines. - Eh?
Your face is too gloomy.
You were rejected.
In this half year, you haven't passed a single audition.
Sorry.
The president also said any more than this would be a little difficult.
Please! I'll do my best next time.
Then, will you do bathing suits?
- That's... - Even if you're unwilling, we have little choice.
I don't like gravure. I want to win this with my acting.
If your face isn't pretty, then you have no
choice but to fight with your body, right?!
If you dislike it that much, then this is as far as we can go.
Flapping our wings towards the future Graduation Compilation
Dreams for the Future
Actress - Masubuchi Emiko
Actress? Don't say such a foolish thing! You don't have that kind of talent.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the countryside!
First and foremost, to be an actress, you have be more beautiful!
Isn't it Dad's fault that I have a face like this?
What did you say?
People always said I resembled you. I really hated that!
I wish I could have been born cuter!
I'm never coming back!
Because of this face.
Excuse me.
I heard that if I came here I could change my life.
Let's go to the reception desk.
Please let me meet the Face Maker!
I want to be someone else.
In order to succeed at being an actress,
I came here, prepared to throw everything away.
So, please!
Can you keep a secret?
An actress, huh...
If you just want to become beautiful, there are other methods.
That's no good. I want to be a completely different person.
Why?
After graduating high school, I came to Tokyo in order to be an actress.
But... no matter how many auditions I attended,
the only ones who passed were girls with pretty faces.
Even if I went to the hospital and tampered with
my eyes or nose, I know it won't amount to much.
I want to be a another person and achieve complete beauty!
It's easy to say you want to become another person.
You're still only 21, aren't you? Are your parents okay with this?
There have been cases where, after the patient changed her face,
no matter how much she tried to explain it,
her parents would not believe she was their child.
It doesn't matter. Because I don't intend to ever meet my parents again.
I came here prepared to throw everything away!
Ah-Ummm...
He is checking the condition of your body and skin.
Fine. I will let you be reborn with the face you desire.
Amongst these, who do you want to become? Choose whichever one you like.
You must never reveal the existence of this place to the outside world.
And I will never operate again on someone who has already had an operation.
Umm... How much will it cost?
The payment shall be...
your face.
Kirishima Shun, once belonged to the United States Marshals Service.
As part of the US Federal Witness Protection Program.
he performed cosmetic surgery.
Granting people new faces, he is known in the black market as:
Face Maker.

One month post-operation
This is your new face.
It's exactly what I hoped for.
To be able to have this face...
I will definitely become a top actress.
Thank you very much. Please excuse me.
"If you haven't cried,"
"your eyes can't be beautiful."
What's that?
A quote from Sophia Loren, an Italian actress.
It may be true you won't gain inner beauty unless you shed many tears.
But as an actress, she may not be able to obtain real beauty at all.
Perhaps tears aren't the only thing required for an actress to be beautiful.
Everything's screwed up in an instant.
Good afternoon.
My name is Anzai Erina.
If you pass this audition, you'll be the heroine
of this serial drama airing next spring.
Acchan's Dream (Working Title)
The audition I failed before...
Actually, a heroine had been already been chosen, but
chronic illness worsened so she had to quit.
- At least that's what they say. - Is the truth different?
She complained that the director was too strict.
That must have been a difficult scene.
If you capture a role, you're a leap away from the pavement to being a star.
In your case, Erina, there should be no objections to
your looks. All that's left are your acting skills.
I am confident I will become the heroine.
New Drama Tohto TV "Acchan's Dream" (Working Title) Preliminary Auditions Waiting Room
Mom
Thank goodness~ You never pick up my calls at all.
Did something happen?
It doesn't really matter.
Emiko, did you catch a cold? Your voice sounds weird.
Eh? Ah... Well, a little bit. What's up?
Will you come home just once sometime this week?
I don't intend to ever come back there.
Emiko, even your father is worried about you...
I don't want to hear about dad!
Emiko...
I'm busy so I'm hanging up.
Please regard me kindly.
Then, director, if you please.
And... Start!
I want to protect this shop.
The shop that my father left behind is my treasure.
So, please. Let me keep running this shop.
I beg you, please. Please.
Please.
Erina, you passed the preliminary auditions.
Is that so?
What's this? You should be more happy about this!
I thought that I would pass the first stage.
Well, don't you sound promising?
I will definitely pass the second stage too.
"Acchan's Dream" (Working Title) Second Audition Waiting Room
Can I sit here?
Eh? Umm... Sure, go ahead.
Why is my face... What is the meaning of this?
Excuse me!
We start in 10 minutes.
The first group will be Hashimoto Ami-san, Anzai Erina-san, and Kudou Asumi-san.
Yes.
Umm... Didn't you come to this audition before?
No. This is my first time.
I guess so. Sorry about that.
Be sure to remember me, okay~? I'm Hashimoto Ami.
For the second test,
you will be acting opposite the boyfriend, Mikiya-kun, who is played by a substiute.
- Then, first up is Hashimoto-san. - Yes!
Please regard me kindly!
- Have you memorized the lines? - Yes!
If it comes to that...
For sure, she'll be cut off halfway.
- I'll be fine! - Impossible to be heroine with such a face.
Since I failed because of my face...
- That's why... - Cut! That's enough.
Your face is too gloomy.
And... Start!
Sorry, I was so busy with the shop that I couldn't buy you a birthday present.
Are the curtains at the entrance of Yamada-ya more important than me?!
What's important is Mikiya-kun!
Wait, cut, cut...
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm so sorry! I unconsciously got into the role.
That was interesting, Hashimoto Ami-kun.
Thank you very much!
Why? Even though she has that face...
Next is Anzai Erina-san.
Uh... Yes.
Please regard me kindly.
And... Start!
Sorry, I was so busy with the shop...
Busy with the shop...
What the heck are you doing, Erina?
They may have allowed us to advance to the final examination,
but at this rate, it will be taken by Hashimoto Ami.
- Sensei, you sold my face, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
Why did you sell my face to someone who would become my rival?
Do you know how to play poker?
Now is not the time...
I only perform the operations. I have no interest in the patients' backgrounds.
That's being irresponsible.
Will you be able to be a first rate actress if you're so disturbed
when seeing your former face before you?
If you don't have that kind of courage, then you'll freeze up like a doll on TV...
You may change your cards once. Your turn.
I win.
But we haven't revealed them yet.
You have nothing, right?
- I have a full house. - How?
Depressor capitis supercilii muscle, depressor
supercilii muscle, and corrugator supercilii muscle
moved your brow into a vertical line because
you were anxious that you had a poor hand.
When the orbital part of orbicularis oculi moved
your cheeks up, it showed that you were discouraged.
An actress who can't do a poker face
is a failure.
They say you're a genius cosmetic surgeon,
but you're just a jerk tampering with people's lives!
A person with your face exists in this world.
You wouldn't understand that kind of uneasiness, would you?
A person with your face exists in this world, huh?
Now, more importantly,
a new Bikini DE Night Girl will be joining us today!
I'm a new member, Hashimoto Ami. Please regard me kindly!
Fu~! Now it's time for the program's customary Limbo Self-Promotion! Let's Go!
Fuwa! Fuwa! Will she go through it? Do your best! Do your best! Fu~!
Ami will give you energy~
Fu~!
Even though she's ugly... Even though she's ugly...!
Don't you think that "Hashimoto Ami" who appeared on
"Bikini DE Night" really looks like you, Emiko?? -Yukari
Lately, she's been full of vigor, hasn't she? That Hashimoto Ami.
I will definitely make a recovery.
Well, the purpose of tonight's dinner is for you to create some groundwork.
I will do my best to promote myself.
And if you end up alone together afterwards... be sure to go for it.
Currently, almost all of the front line actresses have been raised by me.
That's amazing!
After dinner, shall I teach you the secret to improving your acting?
Eh... If I pass the audition, then please do so at the scene.
The most important thing is to be obedient.
- Kojima-san? - Huh? Oh...
- Ami-chan, what are you doing here? - Waa~ I'm super happy!
I'm so happy to meet Kojima-san here!
What an adorable thing to say, Ami-chan!
Because Ami loves Kojima-san.
Shall all three of us go over there for a drink?
- Okay~ - That's great.
Is this really just coincidence?
Kojima-san and Ami...
- I go this way. - Ah, I go home this way too. See ya.
They both went home in the same direction.
Could it be that she...
STOP IT!
Mom
What is it? Calling at this hour...
Emiko... Emiko! What should I do?
What? What happened?
Your father... Your father has...
Have you come to attack me before the final stage of the auditions tomorrow?
I beg you. Please return with me to my hometown.
My father is in the last stage of cancer. Today or
tomorrow will be the most difficult part to pass.
Huh? That has nothing to do with me.
You had surgery from the Face Maker, didn't you?
I see now. This face was yours.
I had no idea about my father's sickness.
He wants to see me. But, with this appearance...
I want to reconcile with my father and see him off properly.
- No way. - Please! I'll do anything.
Let me see... If you turn down
the audition tomorrow for "Acchan's Dream,"
then I'll go see your father for you.
- Eh? - I'll act out the part of "you" for you.
But well... If you let go of this audition,
you probably won't get another chance.
I understand. I'll do as you say.
- Will you be okay? - I'll be fine. Here...
Have you memorized it already? It's in Aizu dialect.
Naturally. Because I am an actress.
- Emiko! - Mo..
Mom~! ...Dad.
Emiko...
Dad!
Umm... Are you a friend of Emiko's?
- Eh? - Yes. She accompanied me here.
Ah~ Thank you very much.
Not at all...
Emiko.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sorry I couldn't support your dream.
No... I should be the one to apologize.
I didn't understand anything about you, Dad.
The lines I asked her to say...
Ever since I was little, Dad has al~ways
protected me, but I opposed you...
Now that this has happened, I wish I could have
been by your side more...
I love this face that resembles Dad's.
Dad.
Emiko...
Erina too, let's hold Dad's hands together.
Dad!
- I'll go call the doctor. - Dad...
My acting wasn't disappointing, was it?
Thank you. I truly thank you.
Really... Your acting was perfect.
You know, my grandfather was an American, so my
original appearance looked somewhat like a foreigner's.
Because of my appearance, I was always dropped from the auditions.
You too?
Yes. That's why I chose your Japanese-like face,
full of simplicity and beloved by anyone.
I was stupid.
Father gave me such an important thing, and I threw it away...
Erina... I'll become a great actress for the both of us.
I will definitely become the heroine of "Acchan's Dream."
We will now announce the part of the heroine.
We have decided that Anzai Erina shall play the role of heroine.
I am Anzai Erina who will be playing the part of the heroine.
Congratulations!
- Thank you very much. - What are your current feelings?
The heroine of "Acchan's Dream" has been decided!!
Tearful Finale Anzai Erina-san New Hope
- It's all thanks to you, doctor. - No, it was your strategic victory.
Strategic?
You stirred up your mother and relatives, binding Hashimoto Ami's feet
and stopping her from making it to the audition, didn't you?
Didn't you promise Hashimoto Ami that you would give up the audition?
That's what I intended to do.
Right until Ami said those lines.
I love this face that resembles Dad's.
I love it.
I've never thought that before at all.
Your face is too gloomy.
People always said I resembled you.
I really hated that! I wish I could have been born cuter!
I didn't even write that line in the script I gave her...
Here.
She became a more complete "me" than even myself.
She could naturally say the words my father wanted to hear.
You became jealous of her.
Her acting was perfect.
So perfect, I thought it would be a good idea to let her continue acting as me.
Right about now, she's probably bearing a grudge towards your betrayal.
Those who are deceived have only themselves to blame.
Now that's the face of an actress.
Thank you very much. Well then, goodbye.
I wasn't particularly praising you.
That which we call an "actress," is a demon who disguises herself as another person.
In order to obtain the role, she calmly deceives other people.
Poker face. You taught me that, doctor.
Walking the path of a demon is a thorny path.
If that's the case, then I shall walk that path while bleeding.
That girl has changed.
Her new face has awoken a devilish side in her.
Whether she falls down or crawls back up... It's all up to her.
