M: Ai Subeki Hito ga Ite – Episode 5

Ayu finally confesses to Masa and… Masa asks her out! Now that they started going out, the preparation for Ayu’s debut is going smoothly. As the rivalry between Rukawa and Masa heats up, how will the cards fall?

Translation Notes/Trivia

  • Cultural difference: Right before Masa and Ayu runs towards each other on the street, the pedestrian sign turns green, but the announcement says “The light is blue.” In Japan, even though the signal lights look green, they still called ‘blue’. Here is why.
  • While Reika is a fictional character, Masa was actually seeing someone else right before he started going steady with Ayu. In the book M, Masa pays a visit to Ayu’s mom and says “I’m going to date your daughter.” Now in a released clip of Masa’s interview, Masa himself says that he told Ayu’s mom “I’m going to sleep with your daughter.” Then they left immediately to a hotel and did it. The reality is not as perfect fairy-tale romance as the book or the dram, it seems.
  • Ayu’s poker face CD jacket was originally suppose to feature Ayu’s face, but people said her face looks too much like an idol and not like an artist, so they decided to add blackout stripes to obfuscate it a bit.
  • “Witch’s Delivery Service” is the literal title of Ghibli Studio’s Kiki’s Delivery Service movie. I don’t know if it was trying to make a reference, but it definitely reminded me of it.

  1. Any idea of this Axel’s group was real or made up? Reminds me of Max, but they came way before this….

    1. It’s loosely based on a group called Mission. They were high schoolers selected from a reality tv show that debuted in July 1998. They disbanded in 2000.

  2. Hi BlitzFanSub team, just wanted to thank you guys for the subs. My gf and I are long time Ayu fans so we were looking forward to watching this! Keep up the goodwork, it is much appreciated 🙂
