唯一つ、唯一つだけ

Tada hitotsu, tada hitotsu dake

There's just one and only one thing

Director Tanaka Kenji

Showa 20 (1945) August 15th

Today, the war ended.

The war...

...was over.

For ten years the war had been going on...

...and then we were suddenly told, "It's over."

Dad. Masaru-san.

Kansuke.

Taizō-niichan.

The war...

...is over.

Ah...

After hardly looking at myself in the mirror for so long...

...I had become an Oba-chan.

With everyone I loved having died...

...what sort of enjoyment can...

...an Oba-chan like me have from here on, I wonder?

Never again...

Never, ever again...

I will never put these on this again!

No, no, that's wrong.

That's right...

Ah... it's over...

It's over!

Se... Sensei!

Those clothes?!

What about 'em?

The war's over already.

Eh?!

Hey!

What's with those clothes?!

Japan just lost the war, you know!

Slowly, slowly...

Are you in any pain, Grandmother?

I'm fine.

What do you want to eat, Grandma?

Don't want any.

But, Grandmother, it would be best if you ate at least a little.

Really?

Yeah.

What's with the change in attitude...

I...

...wanted to stay in this house.

It was my long-cherished dream to be burned up in this house.

For some unknown reason, ever since the air-raids...

...Grandma would only listen and talk to Tome-chan.

It's delicious, huh?

Ah...

It really is...

Right!

Right!

With everyone here together after so long...

We can finally have a quiet dinner, right!

Right!

No air-raid sirens.

Even so, Japan had lost the war.

What would happen to us from here on?

Well, I don't know what'll happen going forward...

...but for now everything's come to a halt.

Like this, there's nowhere we can get supplies for our work anymore, huh?

Well, that's true.

And about the fabric you have. It might be they'll let me leave it with you to try and sell it.

I'll talk to my superiors again and let you know right away.

If you would please.

Ah. Still, it would best if you didn't dress like that.

Eh?

American troops'll be coming.

With nothing but women here, I don't know what might happen.

No...

No.

But I hate those.

Even if I die...

...I won't wear these hated things again!

American troops can come or anyone else can come!

In the end, we were allowed to sell the factory's fabric.

I had no idea at all what would happen going forward...

...but anyhow, we could at least sew underwear.

We're back...

We're back...

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Thanks for your hard work.

Ahh...

Eggplants!

We were able to get a lot today.

Sumire no hanasaku koro When the violets bloom

Sumire hanasaku koro ima mo kokoro furū When the violets bloom, even now my heart shakes

When did we last hear a song like this?

It's not a war song...

No war songs anymore.

Sumire no hanasaku koro When the violets bloom

Sir!

Oh, Ito-chan!

Have you been listening to the radio? There's a really nice song playing!

I heard, I heard! Of course I would!

The song, "When the Violets Bloom."

I was so happy, right!

Hey, Ito-chan, come here, come here...!

Here, here!

Where did you get these?

I went to this very interesting place.

Where?

The black market.

The black market?

Yeah.

Ito-chan, I'll take you there.

Oh?

It's great!

Oh!

EVERYTHING is being sold there!

Huh?

Everything!

Eh!

Ta-dah!

And then...

...Kinomoto-san did take me to the black market...

There really was everything there.

Matches

1 pack (10 pieces per)

Ah!

Looks delicious!

Whaa! That looks so good!

Oi, this is nice!

And they have this and this!

Yeah.

Whaa!

Eh?

Ah!

Wait, wait!

It's sugar!

How much?

100 yen.

Ehh... That's expensive!

Well, 5 yen off. Just 5 yen off.

No, no way. Leave.

Okay then, geez!

Ah! Don't go away.

3 yen off.

4 yen!

C'mon, please, right!?

I can't do this anymore, geez.

I won't make any profit.

Add just a little more.

That was fun!

It was, but as expected, Ito-chan...

Huh?

...you're better at driving a bargain than anyone.

I am?

When I was next to you, watching, I got scared.

Thank you so much for taking me.

So long!

See you again!

What is this?!

Ain't the war over?

What's going on?

Why can't we?

The American troops.

Pulling the danjiri makes too much noise.

We don't know when the American troops might come in, do we?

The danjiri?

Oi!

We won't be able to pull the danjiri this year again either?

Why can't we?!

The order was handed down from above not to irritate the American troops!

Make sure you obey that! I'll come arrest you otherwise!

Ehh?!

On the morning of the festival...

Showa 20 (1945), September 14th

...in order just to see it, we came out to the danjiri shed.

Naoko, what are you doing?

I'm gonna pull it!

Huh?

No, we can't pull it this year. And you're a girl, too.

I'm gonna pull it, so I'm gonna!

Why...

Why can't we pull it?

That danjiri...

...is my life.

Never mind that; let's pull it.

Oh.

If we don't pull it this time around...

...it really will be finished with.

That's right...

Let's pull it!

Okay!

Oh!

There's too few people here to run with it.

Slowly! Slowly is best, right?!

Okay, let's do this!

Yeah!

Sir, I'll pull, too!

Na... Na-chan?

Hey! Naoko!

Let the little one pull it!

That's right! Pull it, pull it!

A girl, huh... My, my, my... Okay then.

Huh?

Okay... Pull!

Okay... Pull!

Okay!

Pull!

Okay... Pull!

Okay!
