Director Tanaka Kenji

Heisei 17 (2005) April

Ehh...

Heavy!

What is this?

Ah, that's my Kobe treasure box.

Kobe treasure box?

Well, it's only got interesting things in it somehow.

Is it okay to throw this out, too?

Who wanted a piano so much as to do such a thing?

"Buy us a piano"

Huh?

Here!

My daughters.

Geez. They wanted to go to piano practice...

...and they were really noisy about it every day...

Heisei 17, April.

I was throwing out all my old stuff.

Why? Well...

Then open it up straight through here!

Here, huh?

And then I want it made into one room.

Yes.

And then in this area...

...a bar counter.

A bar counter.

I can then bring guests in here for drinks.

That way...

...they can watch the danjiri while drinking.

That's true.

Remodeling the second floor?!

Why is she suggesting such a thing at this late hour?

Seems she's been thinking about it for a long time.

"So guests who come over can watch the danjiri," she said.

At her age, she shouldn't be remodeling even once.

Well, when I told her that, she wouldn't listen.

And then while sorting through the things on the second floor...

...I took out things of Yūko-san's that you might want.

Well, It'd be best for me not to divide the things up on my own...

...so could I ask that I send them to you...

Ah! You're remodeling the second floor.

Does that mean it will become something like a salon?

That's right.

The design will be following what Takasaki Nobuhiko-sensei came up with.

Takasaki Nobuhiko-sensei?

Yeah.

That Sensei is one, too. One of those boyfriends of mine.

The eight-eight boyfriends?!

Well...

...they're up to ninety-one now.

Because I'm now ninety-one years old.

They're increasing according to your age, huh?

That's right.

I'm very thankful for that circle of people.

Ah, that's true.

Well, I really still don't know that much about life...

...but there is one thing I can say with confidence.

Yes. What is that?

Whenever I was successful at anything I did...

...it was always at a time when I was doing something for someone else's sake.

Yes.

Whenever I was greedily doing something for my own sake...

...I would fail at everything. That was excellent!

Ah, in other words are you saying...

..."Tis better to give than to receive?"

What's that?

Those are words from the Bible.

That's it!

Giving is much better than taking.

I really think that.

People and Teachings

Testament to My Daughters Tis better to give than to recieve

Ah, these are good words, huh...

Geez!

We haven't gotten that eel yet!

Aren't they a little late?

No, you only called them fifteen minutes ago.

Yes, but I'm starving!

Hey Kō-chan, you try calling.

Please stop that; it's embarrassing.

What's embarrassing about it?

We're in a hurry to eat and they're making us wait. Just tell them, "hurry it up."

That's not as cool as what you said for this newspaper.

Huh?

Listen you.

I wasn't saying that a person who wants their share makes them greedy.

Is there such a thing?

Obviously.

You shouldn't start off thinking...

...that people are unselfish.

To be sure, greediness will only lead you to encounter a painful experience in the end.

Ahh... My eel...

Hurry! Come, my eel!

Just you wait!

It's been four years since then.

And I'd made two achievements.

The first was that...

...I had started a line of men's wear for the Ohara Itoko Collection.

And, with the support of my "boyfriends"...

...it was going smoothly for the time being.

And the one other thing was...

Yes, taking the picture! Everyone, please smile!

Please smile!

Sakurai-san, please smile!

That I had succeeded in having Natsu thrown into a senior citizen's home.

Itoko-sensei.

Ala, Director. Good afternoon.

Are you getting a medical exam today?

Ah, that's right.

Ah, that's right, Natsu-san came from the senior citizen's home the other day for her checkup.

Ah, is something wrong with her?

No, she's fine.

Well, she had her usual princess air about her.

Is that right?

Thank you for everything.

Not at all.

Well Sensei, take care of yourself.

So long.

Kagawa-san.

Ah, Sensei.

Ah, did you happen to see the Director?

The Director?

He just left.

He's run off on me again.

Thanks for your hard work.

I swear...

...the only things on that man's mind are wine and golf.

Now, now.

Even so, she had said...

..."Why should I be under the care of that monkey Ohara this late in the game?"

After he had patiently gone to the trouble...

...of trying to persuade Natsu...

...I couldn't say anything bad about him any longer.

Ohara Itoko

Let's move our hands and feet quickly and powerfully!

Open your legs diagonally.

Please bend twice along the left slant...

Good morning.

Please watch over us again for today.

What a good girl.

The family's separation had come at last.

Fight

I love you

"Fight" was the 72nd asadora which aired from March - October 2005. The story's heroine is Kido Yu, whose family had to separate after a scandal.

It is now half past 8am. We will report the news.

Dawn today over Tokyo and Shinagawa-ku...

Good morning!

Ah, G'morning!

Good morning.

Say, say, say! What do you think happened?

Yū's father sold the house at last!

Hmm...

Well, the family will have to break up, won't they?

Eh, really?!

Good morning!

G'morning! Get going!

Even so, they should turn my story into a drama!

That won't happen!

Talk to that person at the TV station again!

I've spoken to them many times already!

Keep trying just one more time. Okay! Okay!

Geez Sensei, you're so persistent, geez!

Hey, Taka-chan!

One, two!

Kind of painful, isn't it?

Huh?

Breaking down a room filled with memories.

Really?

Isn't that true?

Once past ninety, memories don't matter anymore.

Eh?

More importantly, is what happens now and from here on.

From. Here. On.

That's, well, a good thing.

Say, Kō-chan. What's for lunch today?

What should we have?

I want to eat meat!

Meat again?!

Sensei, weren't you told, "please refrain" from that?

I don't care.

I live for the now.

Hereford steak.

Eh?

Ah, that would be good.

Right? Hereford steak! Hereford steak is good, right!

It is good.

Say, Kō-chan.

Where was that?

That wonderfully delicious one we had the other day.

Look, the one Sasaki-san bought for us.

Please do what you want.

Fumi-chan, that!

Where was that?

Ala, that.

Hereford steak, Hereford steak.

Ah... I want to eat some Hereford steak.
