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

Your daughters...

...need to do anything and everything they can to cooperate in the promotion of this.

Even so...

...I'm not lowering my head to them.

Huh?

Even if I die, not one word asking them for a favor will come out of my mouth.

If you want this favor...

...you ask for it.

Very well! Then, I'll be the one to make the calls.

I will be Sensei's surrogate.

Excuse me.

How awkward.

If I did that, It'd be like sending salt to the enemy.

Enemy?

To me, you guys are like business rivals; I don't want to take mercy from you.

After trying to look so cool...

...to now have them be dragged in for my advertising...

You would have wanted this, too, even if it did hurt, huh?

I'm embarrassed, too, at trying to look so cool.

They quickly gave their okays!

Really?

Ah!

This is encouraging, right?

Both Yūko-san and Naoko-san thought they would be coming.

After that, Yūko-san said she had gotten in touch with Satoko-san to ask her.

Will Satoko come back from London?

Yes, of course.

This I've just gotta see!

Because I've never seen all three of them gathered together at once.

Because they're usually on bad terms with one another.

Right?

I've gotta see this, too!

On bad terms, huh?

They're nasty towards one another!

The brochure will be ready by June 20th.

The invitation cards will be ready by the 27th.

They'll be presented to companies we have relationships with and to the press.

On July 20th we have the Announcement Exhibition to maximize the appeal of the Brand...

...and so we can get even a few orders from buyers in.

Once the number of orders is settled, I'll get the fabric right away...

...and arrange for production to start at the factory.

These are fine!

Showa 61 (1986) April

This here is one of the visual points of the dress.

This is fine!

This is a good pattern.

This really is, Sensei.

This is nice here, as well.

This should have some on the inside, too.

Ahhh!

I guess this is the most stylish one, isn't it?

Showa 61 (1986) June

I suppose.

I'd certainly like this sort of feel to it...

...but what do you think?

You have a tiny voice, don't you?

This is Sensei's...

Osaka

Where's the amateur who did this!?

This sewing is nothing but a joke!

Just look at this!

You accepted this, so shouldn't you take it back?

Change sewing shops!

Unless they put their spirit into this work...

...there's no way I can say I'll do it with them!

Sensei...

Are your knees okay?

They hurt a little. I don't mind.

At a time like this, I just can't quietly leave this work to some kids.

Grandma, I've made dinner.

Yeah.

Grandma! Grandma!

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Ow, ow!

Grandma.

Huh?

Stop this.

Stop what?

I don't want to see this.

I don't want to see Grandma in pain.

I see.

You see me as being in pain?

That's...

...a misunderstanding.

I'm...

...not in pain at all.

I'm just in a trance.

When people...

...really...

...get into a trance...

...their faces can seem to show pain.

Just watch athletic players.

They all...

...look as if they're in pain during a match, don't they?

Thank you.

Eh... thank you.

Sorry for worrying you.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Kishishiro Company

Showa 61 (1986) July

Hi!

Good afternoon!

Hello.

(What kind of shop is this?)

Huh?

What kind of store is this?

Ah, this store?

A discount ticket store.

Tickets, tickets...

Ah, tickets.

(Oh! A ticket shop!)

Yes.

(I see. Thank you!)

Mickey!

Mickey!

(What are you doing?)

(I was looking at the tickets...)

Hurry inside; Mom's waiting for us.

Good afternoon! Mom's always under your care!

So long!

Ah, wait, your luggage.

Moooom!

Mom, it's Mickey!

Mickey!

Ma'am!

It's been ages!

Three days before the launch of the Brand...

...Satoko had really returned from London.

On the day after tomorrow, you'll be making your appearance on a variety show at last.

Ah, a variety show?

Yes.

I recommend that you and Yūko-san and Naoko-san introduce Itoko-sensei...

...by saying, "This is our Mom!"

You're gonna be on a variety show, Mom!

You don't have to shout.

It's making me nervous!

Ehh... This is great.

It's a big deal, right?!

Of course it is!

You never know what will happen in life.

Mom...

Dad...

Masaru-san...

Grandma.

I...

I'm going on a variety show.

Sensei, good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning!

G'morning!

Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Satoko.

Oh! Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you!

This is Mickey.

I'm Mickey.

Where are Yūko and Naoko?

They came in already. Right now, they're...

That's okay, that's okay!

You don't have to call them.

I don't know how to face them when we meet.

I'm going to have a little walk around.

Call me when it's time.

No, no, no!

What is it?

No, um Sensei, um, just wandering around would be a problem. Please stay in the anteroom.

Look, where is this anteroom?

Waiting room?

That way?

Ah!

What is it?

That was Akina!

Ah, you're right!

You're confusing me!

Ohara Yūko-sama

(Satoko, wait! Satoko, wait, wait!)

(Perfect! You look fabulous, darling!)

Thank you!

I'm off!

Get going!

With this we have...

...Yūko-san, Naoko-san and Satoko-san, these three who continue to run...

...at the forefront of the fashion world.

This is a truly extraordinary thing, isn't it?

To have three sisters born in Osaka-Kishiwada who, as a set...

...went on to become active in the world as fashion designers.

How on earth did such a miracle occur?

The person who can clear up this mystery has come to us today.

Well then, we will please have these three daughters introduce her.

Yes.

Eh... Truth is, in addition to the Ohara family's...

...Yūko, Naoko and Satoko...

...there is one other Ohara.

Our great Senpai in both life and work.

You could say she feels more like a father than a mother.

She's really scary.

Ever since we were kids, she was scary.

But, we love her.

One, two! Mom!

Yes!

This is the mother of the three Ohara sisters, Ohara Itoko-san!

I'm Ohara Itoko.

Very nice to meet you.

One more big round of applause, if you would please!
