Serial TV Story

Kabuki?

Let's go together.

What are you saying?

I don't have the free time for that; I'm so busy...

Never mind about that.

You never know when my Akagami (draft papers) might come.

Eh?

Ah...

Ever since we got married, all we've done is work.

We've never done anything as a married couple.

心を育てているのね

Kokoro o sodatete iru no ne

That's how a heart is raised, isn't it

This design is awfully old-fashioned...

...but there's nothing I can do; it's all I've got.

Kabuki... One with that scoundrel, Harutarō...

Ahh...

Why did he suddenly have to suggest such a bothersome thing?

Ah! She's come, she's come.

Ah, Mishimura-san will be dropping by this afternoon to pick up her child's shirt.

Yes, yes, I know.

Hey...

What's with that face of yours? Aren't you going to put on some lipstick?

Ah, I couldn't find any.

It wasn't, "I couldn't find any."

You've never liked it from the start! Put on some makeup.

Shizuko, don't you have some?

I do. Hold on a minute.

Masaru-san, forgive her. Just a moment more.

It's okay. No one's going to be looking at my face particularly.

Your husband'll look at it!

Between you and makeup...

...it's like you're the turtle in the "Rabbit and Turtle" story, only you're taking a nap!

Here.

There's no reason why painting some red on my lips...

...will turn this turtle into a rabbit...

Good afternoon.

Welcome!

This is rare. Are you going out as a married couple?

Yeah, for a bit...

We occasionally do go out to study how other businesses do their trade.

Okay, we're off!

We're leaving.

Have a nice time!

Have a good time!

Luxury Clothing Shirts Children's Wear

So long!

Nanba! We are now arriving at the Namba station.

Oi!

We're here.

Let's get off.

Thank you very much for riding with us.

Namba... This is Namba!

Ahh...

The Kabuki might be a good place to sleep.

It's like there's not even a war going on, isn't it?

Huh?

These people are all dressed-up.

Yeah.

Ah... Ehh!

Whaa! That person there looks just like Greta Garbo!

This town was far and away...

...brighter and showier than my town...

...and I was happy to be walking around in it.

Annual Festival Big Kabuki Theater

And because of that, I also got to see Harutarō's name on the signboard.

Nakamura Harutarō

Say!

We had some tough times, but let's both do our best!

"You're still that seducer," gave me a great feeling.

What are you looking at?

Ah...

Well, I was just saying, "I'm looking forward to this today," is all.

Here.

I bought us some bentos.

Ahh... Thank you!

That's right. Because it's Kabuki, we have to have bentos, right?

That's right.

Ohara-san!?

Ahh...

Ah, could this be your wife?

Yeah, that's right.

Ah, I see.

Well, this is the first time we've seen each other.

I'm Kikuno of the Wakatake restaurant.

Ah, I'm Ohara's wife.

Your husband drops by the restaurant from time to time...

...so I thought I should come greet him for a moment.

Is that right.

So long; later.

Please be sure and show your face sometimes. The Boss said she was feeling lonely.

Ah, all right.

Please do.

Ah, sorry for disturbing you.

She's leaving?

Didn't she come to see the kabuki?

Well, she only came to greet me.

Eh?

She came all this way just to greet you?

Huh?

Are you that good a customer of hers?

Yeah, well, um... Look...

It's just to spread the fame of Ohara Western Clothing store.

Ehh?

Yeah.

Ah...

Is that right!

Like this, ye await to be beheaded.

This joint seal includes thy deeds.

Tenmaya!

Tenmaya!

I wilst stand...

...and attend thee.

I guess that Harutarō is a brilliant actor, isn't he?

Right.

I thought Harutarō was nothing but an idiot, but he is a good actor, huh?

Yeah.

Say!

Umm...

Can we go and look around Shinsaibashi?

Huh?

I'll show you something good there.

It's here, too.

Going up.

Huh?

It was here.

I did the design for this department store's uniforms.

Ah!

I did...

...but they changed them.

I thought I could show them to you...

Oh well...

Can't be helped.

Let's go home!

We'll stop somewhere and buy some manjū as gifts. Okay!

What's the matter?

Well...

We don't have to be in such a rush to get home, do we?

Huh?

Would this one be good?

No, that's okay.

Why not? Just try it on and see.

Look!

No, I said.

That's okay, I don't...

Eh?

Yeah.

Eh... Is it strange?

It's not strange!

It looks really good on you.

Huh?

Look at yourself in the mirror!

It's unexpectedly not bad.

How about this one?

Huh?

Ah!

This one's nice, too, isn't it?

Whaa, that's adorable.

Ah... It goes well with the red lipstick.

I'm glad I put some on.

What is it?

Well, I just realized recently.

That you are a woman.

Huh? What are you saying? That I'm not a woman?

Excuse me!

Yes!

Which one do you want?

Eh? You're buying it?

Yeah.

Really?!

Eh? Well, um...

Hold on a minute. Ehh...

We're late, aren't we?

Yeah.

Ohara Western Clothing

We're back!

We're home!

Welcome home!

Welcome back.

Forgive us for being late.

Here! We brought gifts.

Whaa! Gifts!

Thank you!

It's okay, it's okay.

Let's all eat them.

Yes!

Did Naoko eat all her dinner?

She ate, she ate!

Ala! This is a nice color!

Masaru-san bought it for me.

Ala! Really?

That's great.

Ehh...!

He really is a nice son-in-law, isn't he?

Yeah.

"Yeah," she says!

Even during a war, the moon still rises.

Insects still make their cries.

Yūko... Naoko...

The child inside me.

And...

Masaru-san.

I was holding onto so many treasures.

When I stopped suddenly and realized that...

...I was grateful for those things... and scared.

I didn't want to lose them.

I wanted them to always be here.

Shizuko!

Loan me your lipstick.

Eh? Again?

It's okay. Just a little of it.

Geez... I only use it for very, very important times.

They've already stopped selling red lipstick these days.

Don't be so stingy!

When the war is over...

...I'll buy you all you want. Okay!

Geez...

Thank you.

There.

Even though it was just a little...

...it could still make a big difference.

Ah, Masa-chan!

I'll give you some, too!

Huh? Don't worry about me.

No!

Makeup is for your own sake.

And it's for the sake of that other person who sees your face. Right?

I'll be scolded by the Dai Nippon Women's Association!

Let those old ladies say whatever they want!

So long, I'm going to the rationing center.

Yes!

Get going! Be careful!

Yeah!

What was important to me was truly important.

In that way, I became a little wiser...

Showa 17 (1942) December 1st

The child inside me was nine months along.

Excuse me.

Yes!

Is there a Ohara Masaru-san here?

Yes!

Congratulations.

I have your call-up papers.

Ah...

They had come at last.
