'Morning!

Mama, good luck today!

Good luck!

Yeah.

Watch me! Mama's gonna become crazy pretty.

Could you give it a little lighter image?

G'morning!

Good morning.

Good morning!

Grandma. The models wanted to see you for a bit.

Yeah. Where are they?

Over there.

Ehh! You guys have been greatly changed, huh?

You've wound up as wonderfully pretty girls.

The rest is all up to you.

Go out there with confidence.

Do you know what those guests who are gathering out in the hall want to see?

"Happiness."

Pretty girls, all dressed up and having fun walking around.

They have come to see that happiness.

I think to spread that happiness to those who will see you...

...you must first walk out there with the happiest of feelings within yourselves.

Is it okay to sit anywhere?

Please sit wherever you'd like.

You're the first one out...

...so you have to be particularly impressive.

Yes.

What it is we want this show to convey to our guests with a bang...

...is the duty of the first one out there.

You will have a handsome man as an escort...

...but don't just cling to that man.

That man has assured me that as they walk with you, you can show off your faces.

I wonder what sort of look I should have?

We're inexperienced at this, huh...

Right?

You can do it. You can definitely do it.

Can you see?

I can see.

I can't see.

You can go up front.

Yeah.

I wanna go up front, too. I'll go in front!

Not yet!

Not now.

You can't be crying yet!

You're...

...this show's important feature attraction.

The other girls will be showing off their happiness...

...but it is your duty...

...to show that off even more wonderfully.

What will you perform?

A miracle...

That's right!

You will make a miracle.

And then...

...you must show those people...

...their share of that miracle.

Got that?

Yes...

Grandma.

Yeah.

The preparations are OK.

The performance can start.

At last we begin!

The Kishiwada Central Hospital's...

...Fashion Show!

Our top batter is Sakasaki Maki-san.

"I am a nurse from the West Ward, fifth floor."

Maki-san's dress is in the image of...

...that great actress, Marlene Dietrich.

The important point of the dress is the deep slit, showing off her leg.

Next up we have Ōe Sumiko-san.

"I love shopping, but suffer from rheumatism."

"I came to Kobe to improve my sense of style."

"I'll be a mother next year."

"I wanted to participate so I could make a memory for the child inside me now."

Kyaa! So handsome!

Next up...

...Director Tatsumura appears as the escort for...

...Shimura Masae-san.

She received a lung operation at this institution.

"Last year I lost my husband whom I had nursed for twenty years."

"Now that I have returned to being a healthy single woman again..."

"...I feel I want to enjoy life more."

Now, at long last, our feature attraction, Yoshizawa Kanako-san.

She is hospitalized on the fifth floor, West wing.

"Three months ago, I..."

"I was diagnosed with terminal cancer."

"But I made a decision."

"I would be happy."

"My beloved husband..."

"...my beloved children, Mi-chan and Yu-chan..."

"...and all the kind doctors and nurses."

"Look at me."

"I will definitely be happy from here on!"

"Thank you very much."

Dear!

"Thank you very much!"

"I pray that a miracle will happen to all of you."

Sakurai-san!

Let's see... Sakurai-san...

...um, if you have some time...

...could you please come to my office...

...for some herbal tea?

Eh?

Was this my reward from Heaven?

Just you wait!

I could meet Natsu.

This may be pretentious of me

In January 2002...

but I have believed this for a long time and believe it even now.

...Yves Saint-Laurent announced his retirement.

Fashion shows off a woman's beauty and brings to women...

the peace of mind to have

the confidence and the courage to express themselves.

Good work.

You and I have both done our best, haven't we?
