Holding Sleepless Nights (2000)

Ken'ichi Suzumura: Kyouichi Kanzaki

Quotes 

• Kyouichi Kanzaki : All sound has died out, and the cold, dark night fills the room. Unable to go to sleep, holding on to the covers. Suddenly, that's when it strikes, as if my chest was being crushed in pain and wanted to cry. A painful and uneasy feeling. Yes, from the depths of my heart, a thing called loneliness will come...

• [dub] 

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : All sound ceases. When the ice cold night air fills the room, I lie awake, holding my blanket. And that's when it happens. I feel like crying, like my heart is slowly breaking. A sorrowful, an unshakeable loneliness. That sense of loneliness rises from the shadows in my heart.

• Kyouichi Kanzaki : Who knows? Maybe I am just lonely.

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : Come on, will you knock it off already? Only people with an IQ of 200 or higher are allowed to think about that kind of stuff.

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : Yeah? Well, sorry, mine is only 100.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : You just have "I Want a Girl" Syndrome.

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : "I Want a Girl" Syndrome?

  Makoto Kurumizawa : You just want to hold somebody close all night long, right? Who else would it be but a girl? I think about it every night! Like if I do this, it'll lead to that; if I tease her here, she'll do you know what - that kind of stuff!

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : You really think so?

  Makoto Kurumizawa : What, do you think that's it?

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : Well, I doubt your IQ is anywhere near 200.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : You got that right, mine stops at 30!

• Kyouichi Kanzaki : They say that love, even when it's requited, is still love. But I don't think it is. It's not really fair to the other person, and if you aren't careful, you might seem like a stalker. Nothing good will come until you go ahead and talk to her. And even if she does turn you down, there are other girls out there. At some point, you're just gonna have to go ahead and do it.

  Takuya : Wow. So I guess that's how you've been doing it.

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : Huh?

  Takuya : You know, you really are amazing, Kyoichi. You're just so mature. Any girl who would let you go must be out of her mind.

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : [remembering his time with Chiharu]  I, uh, don't know about that...

• [as Kyoichi and Takura talk, Makoto tries to listen in] 

  Makoto Kurumizawa : Dammit, I can barely hear them. What are they talking about?

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : Don't worry. Go with the flow and do what you can.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : Do what you can?

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : If you do it, you might see things from a whole new perspective.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : See WHAT from a whole new WHAT?

• Makoto Kurumizawa : Come on, what's the matter with you? I thought you're back to normal, and now you're not making any sense. Let's go watch some dirty videos. What do you say?

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : You know, I've been thinking about your problem a lot lately, Kyoichi.

  Makoto Kurumizawa , Kyouichi Kanzaki : Huh?

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : Your loneliness, I mean. I know what you're going through. It's almost like, that feeling you get when you look at the sunset, right? It's got nothing to do with girls.

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : You think so?

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : With or without a girl, you're still gonna feel lonely sometimes. And anyway, loneliness suits a man. Oh, what do I mean? A girl just wouldn't understand. It's a guy thing.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : Ah, this is bad. You too, Yoshihiko? Come on, guys, what do you say? Dirty movies?

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : So you're saying that men can get lonely for no reason at all?

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : It happens a lot at our age. It's just a part of growing up.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : Come on! Dirty movies!

  Kyouichi Kanzaki : I guess some sadness is inevitable, life being the way it is.

  Makoto Kurumizawa : Who's with me? Dirty movies, okay?

  Yoshihiko Kenjou : Well, we're all born alone and we die alone. It's all part of being human, right?

  Makoto Kurumizawa : [whining]  Dirty movies!

• Kyouichi Kanzaki : From that day on, I never had that dream again, and I stopped feeling lonely too. But I still wonder why. Why do men desire women? And why do women desire men?
