Serial TV Story

I...

...want Sato-chan to design one.

No, no.

She hasn't done one on her own just yet.

That's okay!

That means I'll be her first.

Using Sato-chan's youthful sensibilities, I want you to make me some wonderful clothes. Okay!

It has a very short skirt, doesn't it?

Toriyama-san said, "Really, just do as Sato-chan thinks best."

Look, just have confidence in it. That's all you can do.

Um... How is it?

Um...

Hey you!

What sort of thing were you intending?!

Such shameless clothes!

It'd be impossible for me to put these on!

Wai... Please wait a moment, Toriyama-san!

Huh?!

That's going overboard a bit.

What is?!

If you want to complain to me, then you try wearing that first!

With such a short skirt, my knees would be bared!

I'm different from those low-class people there!

Well, please sit down for now. Okay?

No. Enough already!

I'll tell you this.

I won't come back here again until doomsday.

Hmpf! Farewell!

Hmpf!

Did she just say, "I won't... come again"?

She said that.

She said it.

All right!

She won't come again!

All right!

All right! We did it!

Ahh... That's one less worry for us...

Right!

Toriyama-san agreed to it, didn't she? "Let's go with this design."

Yeah...

"I think the direction you've taken is fine," she said.

Well, even so, I guess it is awfully short...

...so it may have come as a surprise when she wore it at just how short it was.

She called it "shameless."

Well, never having exposed her legs or arms like that...

...it would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?.

Getting the length right is difficult.

Think of it as an exercise in your studies.

How did it go?

Yeah. You don't have to worry.

Really?

She'll be okay.

After all, tomorrow's the start of the festival.

Showa 39 (1964) September 14th

Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya! Sōrya!

On the day of the festival, I was as busy as ever.

Good afternoon.

One by one, the guests would come in.

They would stay the entire day getting drunk.

Anyhow, I'd bring out whatever I could make.

Well, whatever.

I even brought out my failures.

Ah, it's come.

Eh? What's that?

Dashimaki.

Dashimaki - lit. "grilled egg," a Japanese omelet

Dashimaki?

Isn't this a "Damemaki"?

Dame - no good, so "no good omelet"

Ma'am, please save us!

Just look at this!

It's a Damemaki!

You can eat it.

I can't eat it. The fragrance is getting to me!

I'll eat it.

Even the kids would have trouble with this...

What do you think?

Ehh!

Well, it's nice!

Really?

Umm.

Ah, you're pretty good at this.

The customer said, "It's shameless," though.

When they say that, it's your win.

Eh?

I get that said to me constantly.

"Shameless" or "in bad taste."

Even so, it's okay, right?

How else are you going to become a good designer, right?

Ah...

Still...

...what made you think of this length?

Yeah.

Well, all the girls in London...

...are going for this length.

London?

Yeah.

I saw this article about the Beatles and all the girl fans in the pictures were like that.

Those girls definitely had it at this length.

They're wonderfully cool, aren't they?

Hmm...

Still, Mom told me, "I guess that'd just look good on those London girls."

No, no.

You shouldn't let such things bother you.

Huh?

Look...

If you like the London style this much, then you should earnestly make them in the London style.

Then those customers who like the London style will come of their own accord.

Really?

Both Mom and Nee-chan over-flatter the customers.

Listening to them is useless.

What's this?

Is it edible?

Yo!

What's this? You've come?

You're as wonderfully stylish as ever, Nao-chan...

Good afternoon!

Is Tokyo prospering?

It's not just Tokyo. It's my store, too.

Oh!

What's with the "Oh..."?

Just like a mountain monkey to be different.

The monkey in the city. Always saying the sourest things.

Which of us is the monkey?

That's true.

Well, drink up, Monkey!

Have this, you fashionable monkey.

As expected, Kitamura's plan to raise a famous designer...

...had fallen flat on its face.

Look...

I wasn't able to raise a first-class one as soon as I thought...

...but don't think I'm just gathering together blockheads either.

Where are you gathering them from?

Dressmaking schools in Osaka. Like the one Yūko was at.

Ah, the one I quit after three days?

That's it, that's the one! The students there.

Even more than you guys, every one that came to me was greedy and all of them were penniless.

When I said, "take out your designs," all they had were things you guys could draw in five minutes.

So what happened then?

Out of them, I took the two less objectionable ones and put them to work in my factory.

Look, I saw this coming. I told you, didn't I? "It's not gonna be so easy."

Ah... Those old hag clichés again.

Huh?

"Look, I saw this coming."

That's how you intend to live your life from here on, isn't it?

What's that?

I knew full well it wouldn't be easy.

Yet even so, you'll only really know for sure when you give it a try! Right?!

Right!

So recently...

...I've been dipping my toes into real estate.

Huh?

Real estate?

Yeah.

Land's got this wonderful upward force going for it.

I'm thinking it might be a good thing to get involved in.

Ahh...

You really are rotten with a greedy spirit, aren't you?

There's this one wonderful shop in Shinsaibashi...

...that's come up as vacant, so do you wanna buy it?

Buy it!?

Eh!

You should buy it, Mom.

Don't need it! I have no plans to open a new shop.

Why?

If it's true that prices are going up, then just buy it and sell it again later.

Right. If you sell it while prices are going up, the difference'll be pure profit for you.

That's it! Right!

Right!

Don't Need It!

I don't need to make a fast buck.

Since when have you been going along with such asinine ideas?

If you only think of having fun by making a profit...

...you'll be damned.

You'll go bankrupt!

Just like this guy!

I didn't go bankrupt, fool.

All you've been is bankrupt.

I haven't gone bankrupt, have I?

You were arrested.

Get going.

When seeing it...

...repeated year after year like this...

...the festival had changed a great deal.

Those from the town who would do the pulling wore matching happi...

Happi - workman's livery coat

...and all of the girls would wear them too, to pull the danjiri.

Look...

I've wanted to ask you this for a long time now.

What is it?

A bit ago...

I...

Back then, when you bought that expensive silk.

If you had thought that was fake, how could you have told?

Huh?

If something other than silk is blended into this...

...you'll see it melt.

Oh.

It melted.

The guy told me it was "pure silk"!

It's fake.

Ehh!

I should've asked you sooner! He mixed too much in!

This is awful.

Whaa, forgive me Sir.

Hey you!

Whaa! I overslept!

G'morning!

If I miss the train, Nee-chan'll beat me to death.

Here...

...take this.

Yeah. Thanks!

So long, Grandma. I'll come back home again.

You're going already?

Yeah.

Ehh?!

Ow! Watch where you're walking, you!

Ah... That's right, that's right.

Geez!

Sir.

Huh?

That talk we had yesterday.

What about?

You said, "There's a vacant property in Shinsaibashi," didn't you?

Oh...

Could you...

...put a deposit on that for me? Keep it a secret from Mom.

Huh?

Naoko! Haven't you gone already?

So long; please do that.

I'll call you again for the details.

Yes! I'm going!

Be careful!

Don't get in a panic!

I won't!

Ahh... gone already.

Ah... Like a danjiri.

What is it?

Eh?

What are you grinning about?

No, no, no, no.

I was just thinking of something.

About what?

No, no, no. Some other talk.

You're giving me the creeps.

Ow! Hey you!

Ma'am, you too?!

Ala... Naoko!

Has she gone already?

Ala...

I thought she could take these, too...

Ala?

Kitamura-san.

Huh?

Which will you have? Fried eggs or omelets?

Well, you don't have to mind about me like that, ma'am.

Which one?

Which one... Then it'd definitely have to be fried eggs.

Okay.

Satoko! Rise and shine!

The festival was over...

...and our ordinary days had begun again.
