Ano musume Kawai ya kankan musume The girl is a cute Can-can girl

Well then, I'm off!

Thanks for your hard work.

Get going.

I'm off.

Get going.

Get going.

Ah, there.

She's not working at anything in particular.

Eh?

It's not like she's got a job. She's just going to school.

Even so...

...since your Nee-chan intends to take over the store...

...her going to study Western clothing deserves a "thanks for your hard work."

Grandma, seconds please!

Yes, yes!

Ever since Sato-chan entered middle school...

...she's started eating even more now.

So long, I'm off.

Yes. Get going.

However, I really didn't know whether...

...Yūko intended to take over for me at the store or not.

I'm off!

Get going!

Yū-chan's great, huh? She intends to take over her Mom's store.

Well, she's an admirable child nowadays.

Around the neighborhood, all the talk was about that.

Yo, Yū-chan. Off to school?

Yeah!

You're great. Good luck.

Yeah. I'm off!

While she was being praised here and there, it seems that wasn't universal for Yūko.

Yes, I'm off!

G'morning!

Ah, Nao-chan, get going.

Get going.

Yo, Nao-chan. You came at a good time. Hold on a minute.

Eh? I have to go to school right now.

Hold on, hold on.

I'm off!

I'm off!

Get going!

Ah, Sato-chan, Sato-chan!

Eh?

Look there, you've got two different shoes on.

Eh?

Ah, you're right.

They're on the wrong feet.

No, no, it's not that they're on the wrong feet.

Ah...

Hurry and change them. You really are a child in a rush, huh?

Whaa!

It's chocolate!

Mom, Isamu-kun sent us some chocolate!

Eh? Really?!

Kyaa!

Let's eat a little of it.

Eh?!

While the children aren't around.

This is chocolate?

Isamu-kun's Takashi-kun is already six years old!

Ehh!

Surprisingly...

...Isamu-kun had returned to the Celebes islands and opened a coffee farm there again.

He's grown, hasn't he?

Hey, Satoko. How many have you had?

Two of them.

But because he yearned for Japanese food to eat...

...each time he sent us something, we had to send Isamu-kun something in return.

Say, say Mom.

Huh?

Ah, you should eat some chocolate, too. Before it's all gone.

Oh!

Say, say, look at this problem.

I want you to tell me what you think.

About this?

This dart is here, but...

Umm.

Should I bring in darts here, too?

Look, with this fabric they would match with the length here.

Oh...

You want to fill it in with so many?

That's right.

I want to crumple them up in here.

Look, you could stop those here.

It'd be better to tuck those in here.

That's true.

Showa 30 (1955) September 4th, Early Morning

G'morning!

G'morning!

G'morning!

Hold on a minute.

Naoko! Kijima-kun's here!

Yes!

Just a minute.

Hurry, hurry.

Ah, G'morning!

Watch yourselves.

Don't get hurt.

Yeah!

Take care of Satoko.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, we're going!

Get going!

Okay, let's go!

Be careful!

Ten years after the end of the war...

...the number of those pulling the danjiri had increased considerably.

Whaa!

Satoko! Naoko!

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

Mom.

Huh?

Let's talk later.

What about?

Later.

Ah...

Oh, crabs! Crabs!

It's crabs!

Ahh, they've come!

It's crabs!

Oh!

Crabs, crabs! All right!

Now, go ahead and eat.

Those are great crabs!

I'm so happy when we have crabs.

I'm home!

Oh, Yū-chan!

Satoko, you eat, too.

Ala Yū-chan, where did you go? Did you eat already?

Sit here, sit!

Mom.

Huh?

I want to ask you for a favor.

We can do that later. We have the festival right now.

No.

I want everyone to hear it, too.

What is it?

Truth is...

...I was told by my dressmaking Sensei that...

"You should go to school in Tokyo."

Yeah.

Sensei said...

...I was much too good for Osaka.

"In Toyko you can learn far more of the fundamentals in fashion design."

That's incredible!

And then she introduced me to a famous Tokyo sensei...

...who told me he could teach me...

...about true fashion designing there.

And then...

Yeah. What?

What is it?

"You have a wonderful ability! You definitely must come," he said.

Whaa! Incredible!

Here.

Lemme see! Lemme see!

Yū-chan, you're incredible!

Whaa! Incredible, incredible!

Yū-chan drew these?

That's incredible!

Mom!

I'm serious this time around.

Please let me go to Tokyo.

Please!

Great...

You're great, Yū-chan.

You did it!

Yū-chan!

When you say Tokyo...

...in Ueno?

Mom...

Thank you!

Thank you, Mom!

I'll...

...work hard!

That's incredible.

You're incredible, Yūko-neechan!

Good luck!

Congratulations!

Listen, you two.

While I'm gone to Tokyo...

...you make sure and help Mom out.

Yeah. All right.

From here on...

...I'll succeed to this store...

...and you guys'll be able to follow any path that you'd like.

Yeah.

Ah, I'll work hard to become a tennis player.

Yeah, do your best.

And in exchange, just make sure you're serious about it.

Yeah.

Naoko...

...if you want to become a painter, make sure you're serious about becoming a real one.

Yūko! It's time to go!

Yes!

What'll I do?

Huh?

My purse was already sent off along with the luggage.

Huh?

Just find an alternate one; anything'll do.

Is there one around?

Sensei. Um, how about this one?

Ah.

That's Naoko's though.

Still, it was just shoved in over here.

Hmm... Well, I guess it'll be fine.

It's bad to just shove it away like that.

Put those in here.

Yes.

In here.

Take good care of yourself.

And do your best.

Right?

Yeah!

I'm going.

Get going.

Get going.

Nee-chan, get going! Good luck!

I'm going.

Get going.

I'm off!

Get going!

That's mine!

Wai... What are you doing?

That's my purse!

You had just left it aside...

Shut up!

Ow, that hurts!

It's mine!

This is the one Mom bought for me!

What are you doing?! My wallet's in there!

What, what is this? Give it back!

Stop that!

Stop! Stop it! Stoooop it! Stop it!

Stoooop!

Stop it!

In the end...

...Masa-chan brought out an an old purse of hers she had found from the store.

So long...

I'm off.

Get going.

Yeah.

Get going.

And with that, Yūko started off on her journey.

This is the one Mom bought for me.

Such was Naoko's chagrin.

I'm off!

Neither Yūko...

...nor I...

...nor anyone else knew just how much.
