Video 02 [accidental] || I Want You to Want Me
[The video feed opens because Ito scampers on top of the coffee table, his paws hitting the REC button while doing so. Shiki can be seen in her pajamas still, hard at work at altering the dress she had Joshua model for her a few days ago.]
Ito! Don't! [Picks up her puppy but Ito starts licking Shiki's face, making her giggle.] I thought you were eating?
[She stands up, carrying Ito and then gently plopping him down near his doggie bowl.]
There we go. I'll take you out on a walk when you're done, okay?
[A bark can be heard off-screen, making Shiki laugh.]
Good boy~!
[Bends over to pet Ito on the head. Shiki then straightens up, looking at all the fabric that all over the living room floor.]
Oh gosh, I guess I went a little overboard with the pink, huh? Time to clean up then…
[She was about to get a box to put all the scraps in when Shiki gets an idea.]
I know! Let's put on some music! Who's says this should be boring?
[She goes to another part of the room where a CD player attached to speakers can be seen. Shiki picks out a random CD from the pile sitting on the ground and sticks it in the player.
This was the first song the CD played:]
Hey! (Hey!)
Aww!
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
[This is the first time Shiki has ever heard this song. She pauses a moment, a thoughtful expression crosses her face. But the viewer can see that she's tapping her foot and her head is slowly bobbing to the beat.
Smiling after listening for a bit, she pushes the coffee carefully forward so that she'll have space to clean up. She goes off-screen for a moment to get a box where she can store the scraps of fabric to be used later. Shiki removes a scrunchie that she was wearing on her wrist in order to tie her hair into a high ponytail. ]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'm begging you to beg me
[Her movements were subtle earlier but now you can see her practically bouncing in place while picking up the scraps and tossing them into the box. She tried to see if she can shoot the piece of fabric like a basketball but Shiki wasn't exactly the athletic type. he scrap landed anywhere but box. But this certainly makes her giggle while picking it up.]
Shine my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
[Now it really looks like she's getting into the beat. She was bobbing her head, making her hair swish around. When she walked there was a definite bounce in her step and a slight sway of her hips. Shiki was even pumping her fists into the air while holding two pieces of fabric in her hands. Looks like she's really letting herself go to the music.]
Didn't I, didn't I didn't I see you cryin'?
(Ooh) Didn't I, didn't I didn't I see you cryin'?
Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin'
(Ohh) Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
[Completely abandoning her task, Shiki was pretty much just dancing and singing along now. She ran off-screen to try sliding across the floor using her knees. She used one scrap to get Ito away from munching his food from his doggie bowl. It worked quite well for the puppy starts to chase her around the living room.]
I want you to want me
(Yeah) I need you to need me
(Ohh) I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
[The duo can be seen in the middle of the screen again. Shiki picks Ito up, nuzzling his little face fondly. She twirls around before placing the puppy back on the ground near his food bowl.]

[A sheen of sweat can be seen on the girl's forehead. She was holding the front of her hoodie, trying to fan herself. Her back turned from the camera, Shiki the starts to walk away to the other side of the screen. The viewer will be surprised to see that the purple hoodie was wearing earlier can be seen flying towards the couch. Nice.]
Ohh!
[The girl comes back wearing a pink sleeveless pajama top, ready to get back to work once more. But Ito the puppy had other plans. He scampers around until he's in front of his new master, barking at her. The viewer only sees Shiki is facing the camera with a playful expression on her face. She leans forward slightly, doing a "come hither" hand gesture, prompting her dog to chase her around the living room again.]
Didn't I, didn't I didn't I see you cryin'? (cryin'?)
(Ohh) Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
(Yeah!) Feeling all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin'
(Ohh) Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
[Shiki and Ito can be seen in the middle of screen again. It looks like the girl was kneeling to Ito's level holding both of his paws in her hands. She tries to make the puppy dance and twirl around. However, Ito just bounds to her lap, trying to lick her cheek by jumping. Picking up the puppy now to bring him back to his food bowl.]
Come on! Ohh!
Ohh! Ohh!
Whoa!
[It dawns on her that she hasn't even finished cleaning up. Shiki disappears off-screen to get a broom to at least sweep up the fibers that came from the fabric.]
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
(Oh!) I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
[The music's hold was still strong on this one. She starts dance while sweeping up. Shiki even attempted to twirl the broom like a baton. Good thing the handle didn't hit her head when it fell down to the ground. Picking up the broom again with the intention of finishing to clean the floor up.]
[Inspiration struck! Remembering her first dream, Shiki hold the broom like a mic stand, pretty much posing like a rock star.]
I want you to want me
(I said!)I want you to want me
[At the first part of the stanza, she dips the broom, bringing up slowly while her finger traces the middle of the handle to the tip, mouthing the "I said!" in perfect time with the music.]
(Yeah! Yeah!) I want (Hey!) you to want me
[Shiki then points to the camera in sync with the lyric "I want you" and points back to herself when "to want me" was sang. Unaware that this was actually being broadcast to the network, it really looks like she really, really wants YOU to want HER.]
(I said!) I want (Hey!) you
Whoaaaa!
[Exhausted, she drops her hand and puts the broom away. Just as she plops on the couch, Ito comes running once more to jump on Shiki, happily licking her face.]
Heeeeeeey! That tickless! [Giggles.]
Ito! Don't! [Picks up her puppy but Ito starts licking Shiki's face, making her giggle.] I thought you were eating?
[She stands up, carrying Ito and then gently plopping him down near his doggie bowl.]
