One Way Ticket to Love (1960)

Masaaki Hirao: Susumu Ueno

Quotes 

• Susumu Ueno : Being a Japanese Presley isn't my thing.

• Susumu Ueno : [singing]  My melancholic love, The pretty girl I saw some time ago, Her wet, painted lips were glistening, In the evening mist, Letting go of the hopeless memories, I wandered alone under the Neo lights of the city...

• Susumu Ueno : [singing]  My heart is broken with sadness, And clasped in my hand, Ah, it's a one-way ticket to love... .

• Susumu Ueno : [singing]  Take her down the street, To Lonesome Town, Gotta stay at Heartbreak Hotel...

• Susumu Ueno : Have you felt pity for me?

  Eiko Yoshinaga : Felt pity? For you?

  [laughs] 

  Eiko Yoshinaga : What a funny thing to say. Felt pity for Susumu Ueno, the hot Japanese Elvis Presley? So tell me, why should I feel pity for you?

  Susumu Ueno : I'm much younger than you. I want to enjoy my youth. I want to spend time with people my age.

  Eiko Yoshinaga : You're in love with some young girl?

  Susumu Ueno : That's not it. I just wish I cold date a girl my age.

• Eiko Yoshinaga : Now, listen to me. We've spent a lot of money on you. How do you think you got to where you are now? Don't think you made it this far all on your own.

  Susumu Ueno : I know that.

  Eiko Yoshinaga : Think of what you were before I found you. You were a strolling musician. No better than a beggar. You wanna go back to that life? I won't let you get away from me now. In our world, betrayal will cost you dearly. So do as I say and you'll be fine. Understand? You're my angel. Be a good boy.
