Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:07,690
My name, Noriko,
was given to me by my father.
2
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:12,020
"Nori" stands for "century"
as in the twenty-first century...
3
00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:15,320
and "ko" stands for child.
4
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:21,410
It seems that my father
gave me this name to say that...
5
00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:24,370
I'm a child of this day and age.
6
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:31,040
When I was little...
7
00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:35,090
I was an introvert who kept to myself.
8
00:01:35,710 --> 00:01:37,840
—Noriko!
—Come play with us.
9
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,770
—Come on, Noriko...
—Come down and play with us...
10
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:46,890
So...
11
00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:51,400
my mother would often read to me.
12
00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:02,780
What's up, Noriko?
13
00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:06,830
Read this to me, Mummy.
14
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:10,080
Sure, let's read it over there.
15
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:16,420
—My mother was always kind and cheerful.
—Come here.
16
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,260
Let's begin.
17
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:20,340
"The Fourteen Forest Mice
and the Summer Laundry Day."
18
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:22,800
—Hooray!
—Yay!
19
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,350
Crybaby Noriko!
20
00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:34,230
Are you okay?
21
00:02:34,310 --> 00:02:35,520
Are you crying?
22
00:02:35,610 --> 00:02:36,980
No way! Are you really crying?
23
00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:38,740
Here, you can use my handkerchief.
24
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:40,320
You can use mine too.
25
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,110
Or mine!
26
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,990
Whenever I was feeling down,
she'd cheer me up.
27
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,960
What is that?
28
00:03:04,090 --> 00:03:07,680
I loved my mother dearly.
29
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:11,980
I felt so safe next to her.
30
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:14,810
Yet...
31
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:21,110
there was once
when I really broke her heart.
32
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:28,450
"Quiz tournament
Female contestant: Suzuki Noriko"
33
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,830
—Why her?
—Why her of all people?
34
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:33,620
Suzuki reads a lot.
I'm sure she's good at quizzes.
35
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:35,830
—Sir!
—Yes, Takahashi.
36
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,170
I think Yamazaki or Matsumoto
would be a much better choice.
37
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:42,920
I vote for Takahashi.
38
00:03:43,010 --> 00:03:45,260
I second that.
39
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:47,680
—Sir!
—Yes, Tanaka.
40
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,430
I vote for Suzuki.
41
00:03:49,510 --> 00:03:56,230
In our social studies test, she could name
all the prefectural capitals correctly.
42
00:03:57,730 --> 00:04:00,440
All right. Suzuki will be
our female representative.
43
00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:03,490
—What about the male representative?
—Me...!
44
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:08,530
Okay... I got it. Knock it off, boys!
45
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:12,870
That's wonderful.
46
00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:16,500
—We must practise for the quiz then.
—Sure...
47
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:20,300
I have a riddle for you.
48
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:24,880
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.
49
00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:27,640
—Me! I know the answer!
—Yes, Masao.
50
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,310
The answer is me!
And my golden treasure is love.
51
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:33,390
Love? That's really profound.
But that's the wrong answer.
52
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,060
My other golden treasure is my dream.
What I want to be when I grow up.
53
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:37,730
Do you want to know what that is?
54
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:39,230
A baseball player, right?
55
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:41,480
It's either that or a magician.
56
00:04:41,570 --> 00:04:44,280
Really? Which will you become?
57
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:47,660
I hope you become
a professional baseball player.
58
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:51,080
—What about you, Mum?
—I'll be happy either way.
59
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,790
—I know the answer!
—Yes, Noriko?
60
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,420
—The answer is an egg.
—That's correct!
61
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,130
You're a genius!
62
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:02,750
That's awesome!
We'll be there to cheer you on.
63
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,510
Will you be able to take time off, hubby?
64
00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:07,260
It shouldn't be a problem
since it's during the day.
65
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:11,810
You don't have to come.
I might get a stomach ache.
66
00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:14,140
You're not planning on chickening out
at the last minute, are you?
67
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:16,060
Stop it, Masao!
68
00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:17,770
Cut it out...
69
00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:20,020
—Let's have dinner.
—Masao!
70
00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:24,990

71
00:05:28,990 --> 00:05:33,370
—Noriko, what about this one?
—I've read that.
72
00:05:33,450 --> 00:05:36,500
—What about this then?
—I've read that one too.
73
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:37,870
I see.
74
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,830
Mum?
75
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:46,720
There's a hero, a villain and
side characters in every story, right?
76
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:49,010
That's right.
77
00:05:49,090 --> 00:05:53,680
I don't want to be a villain,
I think I'd like to be a side character.
78
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Noriko, how many books
do you think there are here?
79
00:06:07,030 --> 00:06:11,530
There's more than just one story.
There are countless stories out there.
80
00:06:11,610 --> 00:06:14,660
And we'll need just as many heroes.
81
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:22,170
You're the heroine of your story.
82
00:06:24,130 --> 00:06:28,420
There's nothing to worry about.
You can do it.
83
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:31,930
Everything will be just fine.

00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,830
Oh no, who's the next prime minister?
90
00:06:55,910 --> 00:06:57,620
You know, the one with shaggy eyebrows...
91
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,210
—Murayama Tomiichi.
—That's the one!
92
00:07:00,290 --> 00:07:04,170
Gee, I'm so nervous I have to pee again!
93
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,210
Are you okay, Suzuki?
94
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:08,630
No stomach ache?
95
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:10,800
Back out if you're not up to it.
96
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,760
I think you shouldn't answer any of questions.
97
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,060
But why?
98
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:20,140
You don't want to stand out, do you?
You'll feel self-conscious.
99
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:21,310
Right?
100
00:07:21,730 --> 00:07:23,100

and is used in a lot of words
related to water?
111
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,560
—Team One.
—The "water" radical.

Answer it, Suzuki.

Please answer the question.
124
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,730
—Ehime?
—Unfortunately, that's the wrong answer.
125

—Team One.
—It's located in Matsuyama.

—Why didn't you answer any of the questions?
—I didn't know the answers.
129

You must've known a few of them.
130
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:23,470
I wasn't sure.
131
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,230
It's okay to make mistakes.
What matters is you're willing to try.
132
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:33,860
I'm content to just be a side character.
133

Noriko, listen to me.
134
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:46,450

Please.

00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:11,560
Don't expect anything from me.

Come to think of it...

00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:40,470

—Here to visit your mother?
—Yes.

Don't you have school today?

—It's Sunday today.
—Oh, it is?

—They're awesome.

Masao drew that. This is my drawing.
164
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,010
You're both so good at drawing.
165
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,430
This is so cute.
166
00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:09,260

—These? They're earrings.
167
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:11,640

—That's two in a row. You're amazing.
—All right!
177
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:40,170
"An international airport that operates
twenty-four hours a day..."
178
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:42,300
—Incheon Airport.
—"Incheon Airport."
179
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:46,720
—You're awesome!
—"It's the Incheon International Airport."
180
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,970
You're amazing.
181
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:50,510
"Where did the America's Cup originate from?"
182
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,470
England?
183
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,230
—"England."
—"Yes, you're right."
184
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:56,980
Yes!
185
00:12:57,980 --> 00:13:00,190
Oh, pardon me.
186
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:02,820
You're amazing, Mum.
187
00:13:03,690 --> 00:13:05,950
You got thirteen questions right.
188
00:13:06,030 --> 00:13:07,910
Do you think I'll win
if I take part in the quiz?
189
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:10,780
If you win, we'll get to go on a trip abroad.
190
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:13,410
Go for it, Mum.
191
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:17,080
—Maybe I should.
—Please...
192
00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:21,630
I'll give it a shot when I'm better.
193
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:25,760
—I'll send in your application.
—Sure. Send it in for me.
194
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,430
Awesome!
195
00:13:27,510 --> 00:13:30,140
What are you so excited about, Noriko?
196
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:36,230
—Noriko says...
—No!
197
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:37,940
It's our secret.
198
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:39,310
Okay.
199
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,060
It's time to drain the fluids.
Please get ready.
200
00:13:41,150 --> 00:13:42,900
Okay.
201
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,070
Thank you.
202
00:13:48,070 --> 00:13:51,280
—Does it hurt?
—No, I'm okay.
203
00:13:51,370 --> 00:13:53,370
Thank you.
204
00:13:53,450 --> 00:13:56,120
—See you later.
—See you.
205
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,330
—Shall we go?
—Yes, please.
206
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:27,530
Dad, when is Mum coming home?
207
00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:33,450
In a little while more.
208
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:38,250
What's that deep sigh for?
209
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:46,380
Mum won't be coming home.
210
00:14:46,670 --> 00:14:49,840
Why won't she? She will, won't she?
211
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,840
—No, she won't.
—Yes, she will.
212
00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:53,390
—She won't!
—She will!
213
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:55,300
Noriko.
214
00:14:55,390 --> 00:14:58,520
Mum's disease can't be cured.
215
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,810
Right, Dad?
216
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:04,190
Mum won't...
217
00:15:04,270 --> 00:15:07,940
That's not true! She's lying, right?
218
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:16,950
Your mum's disease...
219
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:22,160
can be cured.
220
00:15:25,330 --> 00:15:27,460
Liar!
221
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:47,730
I'm sorry.
222
00:15:47,820 --> 00:15:51,740
It can't be help.
You've always been such a bad liar.
223
00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:54,070
You held out longer than I expected.
224
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:58,370
I'm sorry.
225
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:03,660
Hey.
226
00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:09,590
Let's have a picnic on Noriko's birthday.
227
00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:14,720
A picnic outside?
Will you be able to manage?
228
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:23,180
I'll decide how much time I have left.
229
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,490
I want to be smiling in front of them.
230
00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:36,070
I want to stay strong in front of them.
231
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:39,200
I want them to see me smiling.
232
00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:44,460
I refuse to let them see me suffering.
233
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,750
I won't let this illness beat me.
234
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,720
Dad, where does this go?
235
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,470
Isn't that too heavy for you?
236
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,440
—Here, peel this for me.
—Okay.
237
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:52,940
Watch your fingers. Hold it like this.
238
00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:58,570
—Is Masao doing okay?
—I'm doing just fine! Leave it to me!
239
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,870
I can do this.
240
00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:03,030
Can you manage?
241
00:18:04,370 --> 00:18:06,910
—It's done!
—Wow, it looks delicious!
242
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,040
—It does!
—Noriko, bring your plate closer.
243
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,130
—This looks more like a potato stew.
—More, please.
244
00:18:12,210 --> 00:18:14,670
More? Here you go.
245
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:18,170
It looks good...
246
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:20,970
—I want a heaping pile.
—A heaping pile? Okay.
247
00:18:21,050 --> 00:18:24,350
—It's yummy!
—Delicious.
248
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Of course it is.
249
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:31,400
—Happy birthday!
—Happy birthday!
250
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:38,690
Here, my present to you.
251
00:18:39,610 --> 00:18:41,610
It's lovely!
252
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:51,210
—Do you like it?
—I love it!
253
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:59,220
This is for you.
254
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:03,050
Thank you.
255
00:19:04,430 --> 00:19:07,720
"Noriko, happy tenth birthday!"
256
00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:09,980
This is beautiful!
257
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:19,650
Noriko.
258
00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:23,780
I promise I'll overcome this illness.
259
00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:25,700
I'll do my best.
260
00:19:25,780 --> 00:19:27,990
—Really?
—Yes.
261
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,790
So, you'll write me a card
on my eleventh birthday too?
262
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,210
Sure, on your twelfth and
thirteenth birthdays as well.
263
00:19:39,130 --> 00:19:41,010
What about me?
264
00:19:41,090 --> 00:19:43,630
I'll write to you too.
265
00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:48,470
I promise.
266
00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:53,770
You'll both get a card from me
every year on your birthdays...
267
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:57,650
until you're all grown up.
268
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:59,110
Do you promise to read my card?
269
00:19:59,190 --> 00:20:00,820
—I do!
—I do!
270
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,900
Thank you.
271
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:10,040
Be careful!
272
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:18,540
You made them a promise.
273
00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:30,560
Now, what should I write to them?
274
00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:16,980
—Good afternoon!
—Good afternoon!
275
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:31,830
I'm home!
276
00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:43,050
I'm home.
277
00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:46,340
Dad, I'm home!
278
00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:48,880
I'm home! I said, I was home.
Did you hear me?
279
00:21:48,970 --> 00:21:53,430
I did. I just woke up.
Let me brush my teeth first.
280
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:55,930
—Come on. Hurry up, Dad!
—Let me freshen up...
281
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:58,850
—Hurry up, Dad!
—I'm home!
282
00:22:02,150 --> 00:22:06,990
I'm home, Mum. I did my best
at my sports meet today.
283
00:22:07,650 --> 00:22:09,280
Good morning.
284
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:16,750
Now... did Mummy send you card?
285
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:21,420
It's here!
286
00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:25,250
She really wrote to you!
287
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:28,340
"To eleven-year-old Noriko"
Congratulations!
288
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:32,850
See? I told you she'd keep her promise.
289
00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:43,610
No, I'll read it alone!
290
00:22:43,690 --> 00:22:46,110
Wait up, I want to read it too!
291
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:47,570
Masao!
292
00:22:47,650 --> 00:22:48,820
Come on, give her some space!
293
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:53,870
—No... you can't come in!
—Masao, stop it!
294
00:23:27,020 --> 00:23:31,320
Noriko, happy eleventh birthday!
295
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,450
How are you doing?
296
00:23:35,530 --> 00:23:38,410
Are you and Masao getting along?
297
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,830
Is Daddy a better cook now?
298
00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:45,670
I'm sorry I can't be with you.
299
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:49,090
I really am.
300
00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:52,670
But I'll always...
301
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,550
be watching over you from where I am.
302
00:23:58,430 --> 00:24:04,560
I'll send you a card every year
until you turn twenty.
303
00:24:04,650 --> 00:24:07,400
I hope you'll look forward to them.
304
00:24:12,030 --> 00:24:13,610
"Riddle Corner"
305
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:18,830
My eye is dark and my mane is yellow.
I'm taller than most fellows. What am I?
306
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Masao!
307
00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:39,850
Grow these seeds into
beautiful flowers in our garden.
308
00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:44,020
Noriko. Did Mum become a star?
309
00:24:44,140 --> 00:24:45,810
Yes, she did.
310
00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:49,270
So this card come from the stars?
311
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:51,650
Yes, I'm sure it did.
312
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:54,780
Maybe it came from between those clouds?
313
00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:57,030
You might be right.
314
00:24:57,490 --> 00:24:59,870
—Do you see it?
—Yes.
315
00:25:00,490 --> 00:25:02,450
It looks like a huge cloud...
316
00:25:02,540 --> 00:25:05,870
but it's actually made up of
a hundred billion stars.
317
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:08,170
Hurry up...!
318
00:25:08,250 --> 00:25:10,500
Don't be so impatient, Masao.
319
00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:14,090
Put your eye closer.
320
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:17,340
Wow, there are so many stars!
321
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:23,810
I've received a card every year
on my birthday since.
322
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:26,940
For my twelfth birthday...
323
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:30,440
she gave me a marvellous recipe
for chocolate muffins.
324
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,980
"And then you're done!"
325
00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:34,780
I made some chocolate muffins. Have one.
326
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,070
It made me very popular in class.
327
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,830
—It looks so tasty!
—It looks great!
328
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:51,500
For my thirteenth birthday...
329
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,340
my mum suggested that I skip school
and catch a movie alone.
330
00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:58,800
"Shinsei Theatre"
331
00:26:11,650 --> 00:26:15,650
I was taken aback by the card
I received on my fourteenth birthday.
332
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:39,970
Noriko. Happy fourteenth birthday!
333
00:26:40,050 --> 00:26:43,050
How is junior high coming along?
334
00:26:43,390 --> 00:26:46,560
Is there a boy that you caught your fancy?
335
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:50,230
Have you had your first kiss already?
336
00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:56,070
If not, I'll give you some tips.
337
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:02,490
Kissing tip number one.
338
00:27:02,910 --> 00:27:05,740
Make sure you don't have bad breath.
339
00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:10,330
How much longer
are you going to brush your teeth?
340
00:27:10,410 --> 00:27:13,210
—For another thirty minutes.
—I need to brush my teeth too!
341
00:27:13,290 --> 00:27:16,340
—Masao, you're getting in the way.
—You're in mine.
342
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:20,880
Hey!
343
00:27:22,430 --> 00:27:26,220
Noriko, your gums are bleeding.
344
00:27:27,850 --> 00:27:28,890
What happened?
345
00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:31,060
Ouch.
346
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:33,520
Kissing tip number two.
347
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:36,940
Look up at him adoringly.
348
00:27:37,020 --> 00:27:39,570
—Noriko, bring me the ketchup.
—Sure.
349
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:41,530
—It's different from what we had so far.
—Yeah.
350
00:27:41,610 --> 00:27:44,070
Here you go.
351
00:27:51,290 --> 00:27:53,670
Kissing tip number three.
352
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:56,710
Remember, practice makes perfect.
353
00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:05,840
Noriko, could you lend me your...
354
00:28:08,970 --> 00:28:11,600
Dad! Noriko has gone crazy!
355
00:28:19,150 --> 00:28:21,690
Kissing tip number four.
356
00:28:21,780 --> 00:28:24,450
Find yourself a decent boy.
357
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,410
The summer holidays will begin tomorrow.
358
00:28:29,490 --> 00:28:31,950
I've been repeating myself every year.
359
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,670
Take care of your health...
360
00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:39,960
and be careful not to get sick.
361
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,970
I don't want anyone getting a heatstroke.
362
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,430
Plan your time well so you can
finish your homework in time.
363
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:52,180
—Can we meet later after school?
—Sure.
364
00:28:52,270 --> 00:28:53,770
There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
365
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:55,140
Okay.
366
00:28:56,270 --> 00:28:58,360
Suzuki, are you listening?
367
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,900
I'm not listening, sir.
368
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,570
Me neither!
369
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:05,490
—Me neither!
—I'm going to cry. I'm serious!
370
00:29:05,570 --> 00:29:06,860
What?
371
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:09,990
—Who asked you out?
—Yoshikawa from Class E.
372
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,410
So, what are you going to do?
373
00:29:12,490 --> 00:29:14,960
Are you going to go out with him?
374
00:29:15,410 --> 00:29:17,580
—I've already given him an answer!
—Seriously?
375
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:19,920
I told him I liked him too.
376
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Congratulations.
377
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,510
Don't tell anyone or
the whole school will find out.
378
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:27,720
Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.
379
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,090
I'm sorry, Noriko.
380
00:29:29,180 --> 00:29:32,220
I know we made plans for
the coming summer holidays, but...
381
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:34,020
I see.
382
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,180
That's perfectly understandable.
383
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,350
I'm totally fine with this.
384
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,270
You should give priority to him.
385
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,360
I may not be able to go with you
to the summer festival.
386
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:45,190
Don't worry about it.
387
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,490
My brother has been begging me to take him.
388
00:29:50,570 --> 00:29:51,780
So this works out for me too.
389
00:29:51,870 --> 00:29:56,120
Really? What a relief!
I was feeling so bad about it.
390
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,210
Actually, Yoshikawa is waiting for me.
391
00:30:00,290 --> 00:30:02,750
I'd better run. Bye!
392
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,010
Bye.
393
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,660
I'm home!
394
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,960
That's a close fight.
395
00:30:42,290 --> 00:30:45,550
Masao, do you want to
go to the summer festival tonight?
396
00:30:45,630 --> 00:30:46,800
Why?
397
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,670
I can take you.
398
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,470
What? No way.
I'm going with Yosuke and the rest.
399
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:55,140
I don't want to be seen with you.
It's embarrassing.
400
00:30:58,100 --> 00:30:59,600
I'll kill you.
401
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440
God, I'm dying of boredom.
402
00:31:14,030 --> 00:31:15,990
Hello.
403
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,330
Hello.
404
00:31:17,410 --> 00:31:20,080
Your sunflowers are beautiful.
405
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:23,000
Your garden is always so well kept.
406
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,710
Well done, Noriko.
407
00:31:24,790 --> 00:31:26,960
Thank you.
408
00:31:27,250 --> 00:31:30,760
By the way, Noriko,
do you have some time to spare?
409
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,130
Yes, plenty, in fact.
410
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:39,520
This obi belt was Yoshie's.
411
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:42,350
—It was my mum's?
—Yes.
412
00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:49,530
She gave it to my daughter Yuki
about ten years ago.
413
00:31:50,190 --> 00:31:51,990
I see.
414
00:31:52,530 --> 00:31:55,570
Here, you're all set.
415
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,500
You look great in it.
416
00:32:04,580 --> 00:32:05,960
How about this?
417
00:32:12,970 --> 00:32:14,090
There's shaved ice over there.
418
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:16,760
Yes, there are so many stalls here.
419
00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:21,560
Fried noodles? I want to have
some octopus balls.
420
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,390
—Let's have both then.
—Shall we?
421
00:32:25,060 --> 00:32:27,770
—Suzuki?
—No way!
422
00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:29,150
What are you doing here, Tateishi?
423
00:32:29,230 --> 00:32:32,110
I'm working part-time to help out a friend.
424
00:32:32,190 --> 00:32:35,570
—Is this your friend?
—Well, yes...
425
00:32:35,660 --> 00:32:38,280
Would you like to have some?
426
00:32:38,370 --> 00:32:39,700
But...
427
00:32:39,780 --> 00:32:43,200
Jun, you can go for your break.
428
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:46,500
—May I give my friend a tray for free?
—Your friend?
429
00:32:46,790 --> 00:32:48,000
It's okay.
430
00:32:48,170 --> 00:32:50,750
"Octopus balls, 500 yen a tray"
431
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:53,760
—Sure.
—Give me a minute.
432
00:32:55,470 --> 00:32:56,930
Okay.
433
00:32:58,220 --> 00:32:59,720
Noriko.
434
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:02,310
I'm a little tired.
435
00:33:02,770 --> 00:33:05,520
I'll go over there for some rest.
436
00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:10,110
Okay?
437
00:33:30,460 --> 00:33:33,300
—Here.
—Thank you.
438
00:33:36,050 --> 00:33:37,840
I'll tuck in then.
439
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,310
—It's hot!
—Here, drink this.
440
00:33:54,780 --> 00:33:57,570
It's delicious but...
it tastes different somehow.
441
00:33:57,650 --> 00:33:59,910
There aren't any octopus in it.
442
00:33:59,990 --> 00:34:01,740
Oh, so that's why.
443
00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:05,540
We ran out of octopus
so I substituted it with konjac jelly.
444
00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:06,790
Goes pretty well, don't you think?
445
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:08,500
I think this tastes better.
446
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:11,130
Really? I'm glad you like it.
447
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:18,930
—You're amazing.
—Why?
448
00:34:19,010 --> 00:34:21,850
You've already started working part-time.
449
00:34:21,930 --> 00:34:23,680
There's something which I'd like to buy.
450
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,520
What's that?
451
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,190
—A bike.
—Do you have a licence?
452
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:32,560
Of course not.
I have to wait until I turn sixteen.
453
00:34:32,650 --> 00:34:34,520
Don't you know that?
454
00:34:34,610 --> 00:34:37,940
I don't. Most girls won't know that.
455
00:34:41,110 --> 00:34:43,950
Have you been on a bike before?
456
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:47,160
—No.
—I'll take you for a ride...
457
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:49,040
after I get my license.
458
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,940
You look nice in a yukata.
459
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,990
Thank you.
460
00:35:25,410 --> 00:35:28,120
Kissing tip number five.
461
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:31,500
Grab the chance when it comes.
462
00:35:58,650 --> 00:36:01,690
—Suzuki, you have seaweed on your lips.
—What?
463
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,070
—And your gums are bleeding.
—No way!
464
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,120
What should I do?
465
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,960
Suzuki?
466
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,550
Is something wrong?
467
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:26,390
No, nothing.
468
00:37:05,340 --> 00:37:10,470
Noriko. Happy seventeenth birthday!
469
00:37:10,970 --> 00:37:13,560
How is school?
470
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,350
Are you keeping up with your studies?
471
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,230
Are you getting along with your friends?
472
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,780
Actually, I have a favour to ask of you.
473
00:37:35,370 --> 00:37:40,170
"Shodo Island Ferry"
474
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:50,720
—Are you Noriko?
—Yes.
475
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,770
I'm so glad you made it.
476
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:57,100
—I'm Ishii.
—I'm Suzuki.
477
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:58,730
This way, please.
478
00:38:04,690 --> 00:38:08,860
The time capsule my class buried in
our junior high school days...
479
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:11,490
will be dug out this year
during the Obon holiday.
480
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:16,500
Please be there on my behalf.
481
00:38:18,460 --> 00:38:23,630
Look for my classmate, Ishii Saori.
482
00:38:24,460 --> 00:38:27,010
I'm sure she'll take good care of you.
483
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:34,390
Saori was my best friend.
484
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,900
—Hurry!
—Noriko, welcome to Shodo Island.
485
00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:53,370
—Cheers!
—Cheers!
486
00:38:53,870 --> 00:38:55,990
Cheers...
487
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,090
I'm so glad you called.
488
00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:08,720
I'd have completely forgotten about
the time capsule, if not for you.
489
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,680
Is that so?
490
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,180
This is why Yoshie was our student president.
491
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:17,020
No way! My mum
was the student president?
492
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,020
Yes, and I was the vice-president.
493
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:25,650
There were less than twenty students
in the entire grade though.
494
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:31,610
It feels surreal to be drinking
with Yoshie's daughter.
495
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:35,620
You had a crush on Yoshie, didn't you?
496
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:38,120
Look who's talking, Shimizu.
497
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,960
You asked her out
in the second year of junior high.
498
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:43,000
No way! You did?
499
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,420
I sure did.
500
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:48,630
So what happened?
501
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,300
She told me we were just friends.
502
00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:54,430
She said what? Just friends?
That's hilarious!
503
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:56,300
Shut it!
504
00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:58,350
Yoshie was such a pretty girl.
505
00:39:58,430 --> 00:40:02,140
She excelled in her studies
and she was the student president.
506
00:40:05,060 --> 00:40:07,320
Oh, I almost forgot.
507
00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:11,780
Here.
508
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:13,450
Is this from our graduation trip?
509
00:40:13,530 --> 00:40:14,570
This sure brings back the memories!
510
00:40:14,660 --> 00:40:17,160
You were so thin back then!
511
00:40:17,950 --> 00:40:19,620
Hey, I'm still thin!
512
00:40:19,740 --> 00:40:25,040
Why didn't Mum go on the trip?
513
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,880
—She never told you?
—No, she didn't.
514
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,130
Yoshie boycotted the trip.
515
00:40:33,220 --> 00:40:36,590
She boycotted it? But why?
516
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:39,600
Well, it's complicated.
517
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,890
—Shall we switch to drinking shochu?
—Shochu? Coming right up.
518
00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:47,150
—Thanks!
—Thank you!
519
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,320
—Have more food, Noriko.
—I will.
520
00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:02,080
—Hello?
—How's your mum's hometown?
521
00:41:03,290 --> 00:41:06,710
I don't know yet
but it seems like a nice place.
522
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,170
Dad, you know what?
523
00:41:09,250 --> 00:41:10,880
Mum was amazing.
524
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,550
How so?
525
00:41:13,210 --> 00:41:14,920
She had excellent grades.
526
00:41:15,010 --> 00:41:19,010
She was the student president and
was popular among the guys.
527
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:20,850
I see.
528
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:23,140
I can imagine.
529
00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:28,650
Does her blood really run in me?
530
00:41:30,730 --> 00:41:35,740
You are who you are.
Don't get hung up on that.
531
00:41:37,780 --> 00:41:40,830
Why did Mum ask me to come here?
532
00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:44,080
I think she wanted you...
533
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,710
to experience the island she grew up on.
534
00:41:47,790 --> 00:41:49,380
Right, dear?
535
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,680
Experience the island?
536
00:41:59,590 --> 00:42:00,720
We're digging up the time capsule tomorrow.
537
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Sure. Thank you...!
538
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,230
I'll be back in five minutes.
539
00:42:10,980 --> 00:42:13,480
He said he'd be back in five minutes.
540
00:42:13,570 --> 00:42:16,150
Let her sleep until he comes back then.
541
00:42:16,570 --> 00:42:20,280
It's unlike Saori to drink so much.
542
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,870
Maybe she has a lot of stress bottled up.
543
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,620
Shall we continue drinking?
544
00:42:27,370 --> 00:42:33,880
I heard that Saori and
my mum were close friends.
545
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:38,010
They were practically joined at the hip.
546
00:42:38,090 --> 00:42:41,300
At least until the graduation trip.
547
00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:45,770
We were supposed to go to Tokyo
for our graduation trip.
548
00:42:45,850 --> 00:42:46,970
Not Kyoto?
549
00:42:47,060 --> 00:42:49,440
Oh yes, you're right!
550
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Saori and Yoshie decided on Tokyo
at the students' meeting.
551
00:42:51,650 --> 00:42:55,440
They were bent on climbing the Tokyo Tower.
552
00:42:55,530 --> 00:43:01,910
But a month before the trip,
the teachers changed it to Kyoto.
553
00:43:01,990 --> 00:43:03,410
Why did they do that?
554
00:43:03,490 --> 00:43:07,500
They claimed the hotels in Tokyo
were too expensive.
555
00:43:07,580 --> 00:43:10,410
What really happened was the principal
made a deal with his travel agency friend...
556
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,120
and changed the destination
at his own discretion.
557
00:43:12,210 --> 00:43:16,460
He awarded the contract to his friend's
agency in return for kickbacks.
558
00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:17,760
That's a crappy thing to do.
559
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,550
I heard that sly fox is now the director
of an NPO in Osaka or something.
560
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Really?
561
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,850
—That's what I heard.
—So you don't know for sure?
562
00:43:25,930 --> 00:43:32,060
So Saori and Yoshie said
they'd boycott the trip unless it's to Tokyo.
563
00:43:32,140 --> 00:43:36,110
We were convinced they'd actually do it.
564
00:43:36,190 --> 00:43:42,700
I was surprised when Saori
showed up on the day of our departure.
565
00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:45,660
Your mother was left behind all by herself.
566
00:43:45,740 --> 00:43:52,160
So in a way, Saori had double-crossed Yoshie.
567
00:43:58,460 --> 00:44:00,170
I think the car's back.
568
00:44:08,810 --> 00:44:13,020
—Are you okay?
—Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.
569
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:14,600
Take care.
570
00:44:14,690 --> 00:44:17,110
—Good night.
—All right. See you then.
571
00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:20,150
Let's go, Noriko.
572
00:44:34,170 --> 00:44:37,920
Maho...!
573
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,170
Open up!
574
00:44:41,260 --> 00:44:46,180
There's someone I want you
to meet, so open up!
575
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,810
Just give me a minute.
576
00:45:14,750 --> 00:45:19,750
Sorry about earlier.
You shouldn't have to see that.
577
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,500
Don't worry about it.
578
00:45:22,460 --> 00:45:26,510
My daughter is in junior high...
579
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:28,930
but she has been shutting
herself up in her room.
580
00:45:29,010 --> 00:45:31,220
It's been six months now.
581
00:45:33,180 --> 00:45:36,850
I don't know what happened at school, but...
582
00:45:38,810 --> 00:45:43,900
Noriko, if you don't mind,
would you talk to her for me?
583
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:47,860
—What?
—Please. Her name is Maho.
584
00:45:47,950 --> 00:45:53,240
She used to be a cheerful girl
with lots of friends.
585
00:45:53,330 --> 00:45:56,580
Sorry...
586
00:45:56,660 --> 00:46:00,790
but I'm not good at that kind of thing...
587
00:46:03,090 --> 00:46:08,680
I'm sorry. What was I thinking?
588
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,890
Please forget about it.
589
00:46:49,130 --> 00:46:50,380
Good morning.
590
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:52,220
Good morning.
591
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,810
—Are these tea leaves?
—Yes.
592
00:46:54,890 --> 00:47:00,020
Olive tea leaves.
593
00:47:00,850 --> 00:47:03,520
I'll fix you breakfast.
594
00:47:05,690 --> 00:47:09,740
May I give it a go?
595
00:47:09,820 --> 00:47:14,030
—What?
—I'd like to try picking tea leaves.
596
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:17,910
Would you like to try?
597
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,620
If so, go get changed.
598
00:47:19,710 --> 00:47:21,000
—Yes.
—Follow me.
599
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:42,230
Yoshie used to help me out too.
600
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,570
I'm...
601
00:47:52,490 --> 00:47:54,870
different from my mother.
602
00:47:57,990 --> 00:48:00,330
I'm nothing like her.
603
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,420
Have you heard about the graduation trip?
604
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,590
Yes.
605
00:48:11,220 --> 00:48:12,760
Actually...
606
00:48:13,130 --> 00:48:18,350
Yoshie and I wanted to
go to Tokyo on our school trip...
607
00:48:18,430 --> 00:48:20,980
for an entirely different reason.
608
00:48:21,060 --> 00:48:22,310
What was it?
609
00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:26,730
—Do you know the girl band, "Pink Lady"?
—Yes.
610
00:48:26,810 --> 00:48:29,610
Their farewell concert at the Korakuen Hall...
611
00:48:29,690 --> 00:48:32,990
was scheduled to be held
at the same time as our school trip.
612
00:48:33,070 --> 00:48:35,240
We were ardent fans.
613
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,620
You and Mum?
614
00:48:38,450 --> 00:48:41,200
They were the biggest girl band back then.
615
00:48:41,580 --> 00:48:45,250
As big as "Morning Musume" is today.
616
00:48:46,830 --> 00:48:49,090
Is that why you girls were
so bent on going to Tokyo?
617
00:48:49,170 --> 00:48:50,630
That's right.
618
00:48:50,710 --> 00:48:56,760
So when it was changed to Kyoto,
we decided to boycott the trip.
619
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,140
We were going to get our deposit back...
620
00:49:01,220 --> 00:49:07,860
so that we could take
the bullet train to Tokyo together.
621
00:49:08,060 --> 00:49:10,820
Really?
622
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:13,990
We would have done so...
623
00:49:14,490 --> 00:49:18,450
had I not betrayed her.
624
00:49:20,740 --> 00:49:24,580
My parents begged me in tears
not to boycott the trip.
625
00:49:25,210 --> 00:49:30,380
I couldn't keep my promise to Yoshie.
626
00:49:34,210 --> 00:49:38,550
I really wanted to go to
Pink Lady's farewell concert.
627
00:49:42,260 --> 00:49:47,480
I wanted to apologise to Yoshie.
628
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,840
I'm tucking in.
629
00:50:18,970 --> 00:50:21,680
—Help yourself to the food.
—I will.
630
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:24,970
I'm going out now.
631
00:50:25,060 --> 00:50:26,890
Can you manage alone?
Do you know the way?
632
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:30,850
—Yes.
—Okay. Take your time then.
633
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:33,900
Call me if you need anything.
634
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:39,570
Maho, this is Noriko.
635
00:50:41,620 --> 00:50:43,330
Hello.
636
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,830
She's my friend's daughter.
637
00:50:50,290 --> 00:50:52,290
Oh, I borrowed this.
638
00:50:53,210 --> 00:50:55,380
What the hell?
639
00:50:55,460 --> 00:50:56,760
You're the worst.
640
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,170
I can't believe this. Take it off now!
641
00:50:58,260 --> 00:51:01,390
—Maho...!
—Wait, hold on...
642
00:51:01,470 --> 00:51:02,720
—I'll take it off! Just give me a second.
—Maho!
643
00:51:12,860 --> 00:51:16,440
I took a shower before I put it on.
644
00:51:33,580 --> 00:51:36,090
"Song of Sakura"
645
00:51:38,380 --> 00:51:40,880
I know this band.
646
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,350
They disbanded, right?
647
00:51:56,230 --> 00:52:00,530
They're the "Ginnan Boyz" now.
That's their new band.
648
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:05,660
I know this song.
649
00:52:05,740 --> 00:52:07,790
—Which one?
—This one.
650
00:52:08,790 --> 00:52:11,410
—Would you like to listen to it?
—Sure.
651
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,670
—Do you want to see the lyrics?
—Yes, please.
652
00:52:18,750 --> 00:52:20,920
—Here you go.
—Thank you.
653
00:52:21,010 --> 00:52:24,430
—Which track is it?
—It's track number ten.
654
00:52:31,310 --> 00:52:33,520
What's this? It's amazing.
655
00:52:37,060 --> 00:52:38,610
Wow, it's awesome.
656
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,830
Pull it up...!
657
00:52:51,910 --> 00:52:54,540
"Twenty-ninth Graduating Class
of Shodo Island Junior High"
658
00:53:06,260 --> 00:53:08,800
Okay! Stop!
659
00:53:08,890 --> 00:53:11,470
Open it...!
660
00:53:13,810 --> 00:53:17,520
—What's this?
—I have more.
661
00:53:19,110 --> 00:53:20,940
—Here.
—Wow.
662
00:53:21,020 --> 00:53:23,280
—I've read it twice.
—Twice?
663
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,240
Wow, awesome!
664
00:53:30,870 --> 00:53:32,540
Ready?

00:53:39,630 --> 00:53:41,590
Saori, this is yours.
667
00:53:43,340 --> 00:53:45,090
Listen.
668
00:53:48,590 --> 00:53:52,510
About your mum...
669
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,640
be good to her.
670
00:54:06,490 --> 00:54:08,320
I know.
671
00:54:11,490 --> 00:54:14,040
It's not...
672
00:54:16,210 --> 00:54:18,500
my mum's fault.
673
00:54:33,350 --> 00:54:34,810
Oh no!
674
00:54:37,730 --> 00:54:41,980
—Maho, may I borrow your bicycle?
—Sure.
675
00:54:42,060 --> 00:54:43,690
Thank you!
676
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:19,350
Sorry, I'm late!
677
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:35,830
—Here you go.
—Thank you.

00:55:39,830 --> 00:55:43,500
—I'm going to open it.
—Go ahead.

00:55:50,670 --> 00:55:53,220
"Farewell, Pink Lady"
681
00:55:54,890 --> 00:55:58,680
—No way!
—Mum went for the concert.
682
00:56:11,820 --> 00:56:13,700
Are you sure about this?
683
00:56:14,530 --> 00:56:16,910
I'd like you to have it.
684
00:56:18,330 --> 00:56:20,410
Thank you.
685
00:56:31,420 --> 00:56:34,930
"I'm sorry, Saori."
686

Yoshie...
687
00:56:46,020 --> 00:56:48,020
I'm sorry.
688
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:45,960

"Passengers bound for Himeji,
please board the ferry now."
691
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,710
I can never be like my mum.
692
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,010
I don't have the courage to
boycott a school trip...
693
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:47,230
or go to Tokyo by myself.
694
00:58:48,140 --> 00:58:52,400
I just can't do it.
695
00:58:56,530 --> 00:59:00,990
Noriko, you have your own strengths.

Thank you for having me.

—Here's a little something for you.
—Thank you.
700
00:59:15,300 --> 00:59:16,960
Wait!
701
00:59:21,130 --> 00:59:23,050
Maho?
702
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,690
I made a mix CD for you.
703
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,070
Thank you so much. I'll send you one too.
704
00:59:39,650 --> 00:59:42,360
Let's go for karaoke together someday.
705
00:59:45,740 --> 00:59:49,700
And we'll sing songs by "Pink Lady."
706
00:59:51,370 --> 00:59:53,420
Why?
707
00:59:55,290 --> 00:59:57,380
No particular reason.
708
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:03,800
Sure. I'll listen to Mum's CDs and practise.
709
01:00:08,770 --> 01:00:11,520
I'll teach you the moves.
710
01:00:11,850 --> 01:00:14,060
Great. Thank you.
711
01:00:18,190 --> 01:00:19,860
See you!
712
01:00:19,940 --> 01:00:23,990
Maho! Thank you!
713
01:00:24,070 --> 01:00:27,620
—See you again!
—I'll visit again!
714
01:00:27,700 --> 01:00:30,410
—Bye!
—Bye!
715
01:00:30,500 --> 01:00:32,710
Thank you!
716
01:00:54,690 --> 01:00:56,440
It looks delicious.
717
01:00:58,190 --> 01:01:00,440
—Let's tuck in.
—Let's tuck in.
718
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,460
"To nineteen-year-old Noriko"
719
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,940
How was it? What did
Mum write in this year's card?
720
01:01:43,570 --> 01:01:47,610
Masao, I'll be away for
my club's camping trip next week.
721
01:01:47,860 --> 01:01:51,120
What? Who's going to cook for me then?
722
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,790
I'll stock the fridge with frozen food.
723
01:01:54,870 --> 01:01:57,920
But I'll be too tired from school
to make myself dinner.
724
01:01:58,380 --> 01:02:00,590
At least get me takeout.
725
01:02:02,340 --> 01:02:04,210
Back to your birthday card.
726
01:02:04,300 --> 01:02:06,510
Do you have to go somewhere again this year?
727
01:02:08,340 --> 01:02:10,010
I didn't read it.
728
01:02:11,050 --> 01:02:13,640
Oh, you haven't read it?
729
01:02:15,020 --> 01:02:17,890
I've decided not to read
this year's birthday card.
730
01:02:19,150 --> 01:02:20,860
Why not?
731
01:02:20,940 --> 01:02:23,400
Because I don't want to be told what to do.
732
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,240
What's that supposed to mean?
Are you serious?
733
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,660
What's wrong, Noriko?
734
01:02:29,410 --> 01:02:31,780
I don't have to read it right away.
735
01:02:31,870 --> 01:02:34,040
The whole point is to read it
on your birthday.
736
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,290
Mum wrote it specially
for your nineteenth birthday.
737
01:02:36,370 --> 01:02:39,290
Stop being such a nag.
It's none of your business.
738
01:02:39,370 --> 01:02:42,290
Why don't you read it first and then
decide what to do afterwards?
739
01:02:45,090 --> 01:02:48,760
No, I'm not reading it.
740
01:02:49,930 --> 01:02:51,180
Why not?
741
01:02:53,140 --> 01:02:56,470
I'm tired of letting Mum run my life.
742
01:03:03,150 --> 01:03:07,280
I don't see why I've to be forced
to do something every year.
743
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,860
Last year, I had to
cancel my plans with my friends...
744
01:03:10,950 --> 01:03:12,950
because Mum wanted me to do volunteer work.
745
01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:15,030
But you said you learnt a lot from it.
746
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,830
I may have said that, but I'd have
preferred to stick to my own plans.
747
01:03:18,910 --> 01:03:22,290
It threw me off my exam preparations as well.
748
01:03:23,130 --> 01:03:26,800
I don't want to be tied down by Mum anymore.
749
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,550
Why do I have to be bossed around by
someone who's not even here?
750
01:03:29,630 --> 01:03:31,890
Put yourselves in my shoes for once!
751
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:43,860
What?
752
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,150
Apologise to your mother.
753
01:03:53,950 --> 01:03:55,740
Why should I?
754
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,290
Apologise to her.
755
01:04:05,170 --> 01:04:07,340
If you want me to do that...
756
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,260
bring her to me.
757
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:48,000
Suzuki?
758
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,460
What?
759
01:04:56,510 --> 01:04:58,680
It's been a while.
760
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,640
Tateishi?
761
01:05:01,060 --> 01:05:03,850
I haven't seen you since
we graduated from junior high school.
762
01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:05,770
What are you doing out here?
763
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:11,650
Well... I'm taking a walk.
764
01:05:21,830 --> 01:05:23,450
Suzuki.
765
01:05:23,910 --> 01:05:25,870
Are you hungry?
766
01:06:01,330 --> 01:06:03,080
Grab a seat.
767
01:06:10,340 --> 01:06:12,710
—Do you work here?
—Yes.
768
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,550
—I'm an apprentice.
—An apprentice?
769
01:06:15,630 --> 01:06:18,130
I hope to learn enough
to open my own shop someday.
770
01:06:21,510 --> 01:06:23,260
I see.
771
01:06:39,860 --> 01:06:41,620
Here you go.
772
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,530
I'm tucking in.
773
01:06:43,620 --> 01:06:45,870
Here.
774
01:06:57,220 --> 01:06:59,010
It's hot!
775
01:06:59,970 --> 01:07:02,680
—Here, have some water.
—Thank you.
776
01:07:21,780 --> 01:07:23,530
It's delicious.
777
01:07:23,830 --> 01:07:26,160
I'm so glad you like it.
778
01:07:40,380 --> 01:07:44,180
Thank you for the food.
It was really good.
779
01:07:44,260 --> 01:07:46,180
I'm glad you liked it.
780
01:07:58,030 --> 01:08:00,150
Suzuki!
781
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:34,440
What happened earlier?
782
01:08:35,190 --> 01:08:37,270
You were crying, weren't you?
783
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,660
I had a fight with my dad.
784
01:08:47,410 --> 01:08:51,000
Oh, I didn't expect that from you.
785
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,290
We don't usually quarrel.
786
01:08:56,750 --> 01:08:58,710
I envy you.
787
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,090
I don't have a dad.
788
01:09:02,260 --> 01:09:03,880
What?
789
01:09:05,130 --> 01:09:09,390
Oh, I guess the subject never came up
when we were in school.
790
01:09:09,470 --> 01:09:11,850
I'm from a single-parent family.
791
01:09:12,890 --> 01:09:14,940
I see.
792
01:09:18,020 --> 01:09:20,820
I can never fight with my mum.
793
01:09:22,570 --> 01:09:24,070
Why not?
794
01:09:24,150 --> 01:09:30,620
She has been working so hard
to raise my brother and me.
795
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,500
Wow, look at that.
796
01:09:58,900 --> 01:10:00,860
Thank you for the ride.
797
01:10:03,990 --> 01:10:06,490
I'm glad I could keep my promise to you.
798
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,450
I promised you in junior high that...
799
01:10:11,530 --> 01:10:14,870
I'd take you for a ride once I got my licence.
800
01:10:17,250 --> 01:10:19,670
You remembered.
801
01:10:20,710 --> 01:10:22,500
Yeah, sort of.
802
01:10:28,510 --> 01:10:30,050
Bye.
803
01:10:34,060 --> 01:10:36,680
—Here.
—Come to our restaurant again.
804
01:10:36,770 --> 01:10:38,730
—I'll call you.
—Sure.
805
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,860
See you then.
806
01:11:04,460 --> 01:11:12,800
"To nineteen-year-old Noriko"
807
01:11:27,070 --> 01:11:30,280
Happy nineteenth birthday.
808
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,410
And I'm sorry.
809
01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:37,330
I have to start off with an apology.
810
01:11:37,870 --> 01:11:43,710
Truth be told, your father and I
had a fight yesterday.
811
01:11:43,790 --> 01:11:49,090
Because I ripped up
one of my birthday cards to you.
812
01:11:51,130 --> 01:11:56,310
I've lost the confidence to write to you.
813
01:11:56,390 --> 01:11:58,270
Yoshie.
814
01:11:59,430 --> 01:12:01,350
What are you doing?
815
01:12:02,650 --> 01:12:05,060
This is stupid.
816
01:12:05,150 --> 01:12:07,190
I'm throwing everything away.
817
01:12:07,900 --> 01:12:09,570
That's foolish...
818
01:12:09,780 --> 01:12:12,610
What do you think you're doing?
819
01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:14,910
No... stop!
820
01:12:15,830 --> 01:12:18,200
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
821
01:12:35,140 --> 01:12:37,310
I don't know...
822
01:12:39,890 --> 01:12:44,310
I don't know what Noriko will be like
when she turns nineteen.
823
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:51,320
I can't picture the things
she might be struggling with.
824
01:13:00,410 --> 01:13:02,660
Hey.
825
01:13:03,910 --> 01:13:06,920
Why won't I get to see her?
826
01:13:08,170 --> 01:13:10,880
Why won't I get to see my daughter
when she's nineteen?
827
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,920
Or when she turns twenty?
828
01:13:13,550 --> 01:13:15,630
Why?
829
01:13:23,060 --> 01:13:24,640
I'm sorry.
830
01:13:28,770 --> 01:13:30,480
I'm sorry.
831
01:13:43,250 --> 01:13:45,500
Yoshie.
832
01:13:46,420 --> 01:13:49,290
Even so, you have to keep on writing.
833
01:13:52,090 --> 01:13:54,670
You promised her you would.
834
01:13:56,220 --> 01:14:00,930
Write and tell her
how you're feeling right now.
835
01:14:01,220 --> 01:14:06,770
Just tell her honestly you can't imagine
what she's like at nineteen years old.
836
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,070
Who'd be happy to get such a letter?
837
01:14:12,860 --> 01:14:15,360
You don't know that.
838
01:14:16,110 --> 01:14:19,820
Noriko might be glad
just to receive something from you.
839
01:14:19,910 --> 01:14:22,200
It could make her day.
840
01:14:22,410 --> 01:14:28,960
No one knows what she'll be like
when she turns nineteen.
841
01:14:33,380 --> 01:14:36,590
So, please don't stop writing
to Noriko or Masao.
842
01:14:37,380 --> 01:14:41,220
A simple message will do. Just write to them.
843
01:14:42,050 --> 01:14:43,760
Please.
844
01:15:11,290 --> 01:15:18,260
And that's why you're reading
about this right now.
845
01:15:19,220 --> 01:15:22,140
If you have any complaints about it,
take it up with your father.
846
01:15:23,550 --> 01:15:27,810
There's one thing I do want you to know
847
01:15:29,350 --> 01:15:36,030
No matter what you may be like
when you turn nineteen...
848
01:15:37,030 --> 01:15:39,200
I'll always love you.
849
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:35,420
There's only one more letter
left for me from Mum.
850
01:16:36,460 --> 01:16:40,010
That'll be 3,655 yen in all.
851
01:16:40,340 --> 01:16:42,130
—Welcome.
—Good afternoon.
852
01:16:42,220 --> 01:16:44,050
—It's a hot day today.
—It sure is.
853
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,430
Masao!
854
01:16:47,510 --> 01:16:49,470
Go...!
855
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,520
Masao! Come on!
856
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:55,980
Masao!
857
01:16:56,690 --> 01:16:58,190
I'm sorry!
858
01:17:05,110 --> 01:17:07,240
That slob.
859
01:17:07,490 --> 01:17:10,120
Masao! I told you to
shake the dust off your uniform...
860
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,080
before putting it in the laundry basket.
861
01:17:14,670 --> 01:17:16,210
I'm sorry.
862
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,170
You seem to be all fired up
even though you're just a benchwarmer.
863
01:17:21,260 --> 01:17:25,510
I'd appreciate it
if you'd call me a reserve player.
864
01:17:26,260 --> 01:17:29,010
Will you be competing for the best four
if you win the next game?
865
01:17:29,470 --> 01:17:32,020
If we win, we'll have
a chance at the nationals.
866
01:17:45,990 --> 01:17:48,120
—Thank you for the game.
—Thank you for the game.
867
01:17:53,910 --> 01:17:55,790
Your team lost by a point?
868
01:17:55,870 --> 01:17:57,960
That was so close.
869
01:17:58,790 --> 01:18:02,840
But you did well. You tried your best.
870
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,420
Right?
871
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,680
The bath is ready.
872
01:18:13,810 --> 01:18:16,640
No more baseball practice, I'm a free man.
873
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,990
—A regular portion, please.
—Okay, here you go.
874
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:16,910
You're making a mess!
Be more careful, will you, Dad?
875
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,330
Isn't that too much vegetables?
876
01:19:18,410 --> 01:19:22,080
—Yes, Dad. Where's all the gravy?
—There's practically no gravy.
877
01:19:22,170 --> 01:19:23,960
—It's fine. How much do you want?
—An extra scoop.
878
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,210
Come on... time for lunch.
879
01:19:27,300 --> 01:19:28,840
Yes.
880
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,800
—Okay. I'm tucking in.
—I'm tucking in.
881
01:19:34,010 --> 01:19:35,640
Is it any good?
882
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:38,390
It's delicious!
883
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,440
Yes, it's good.
884
01:19:45,020 --> 01:19:46,900
—Happy birthday!
—Happy birthday!
885
01:19:46,980 --> 01:19:48,530
Thank you.
886
01:19:48,610 --> 01:19:51,860
—You're finally twenty.
—She's twenty already?
887
01:19:55,330 --> 01:19:59,410
This is your mother's last letter to you.
888
01:20:00,580 --> 01:20:02,370
Thank you.
889
01:20:04,590 --> 01:20:11,130
"To twenty-year-old Noriko"
890
01:20:12,340 --> 01:20:13,970
Here you go.
891
01:20:33,700 --> 01:20:38,200
Noriko, happy twentieth birthday.
892
01:20:39,540 --> 01:20:45,580
It's been ten years since
you received the first birthday card.
893
01:20:47,460 --> 01:20:49,800
Through writing these letters to you...
894
01:20:50,130 --> 01:20:54,800
I feel as though I have been
a part of your last ten years.
895
01:20:56,890 --> 01:20:58,930
Thank you.
896
01:20:59,010 --> 01:21:02,020
I've had a wonderful time.
897
01:21:05,940 --> 01:21:11,780
Ten years ago, or rather,
a few days ago as it is for me...
898
01:21:12,440 --> 01:21:16,530
you asked me a question
to which I had no answer.
899
01:21:16,620 --> 01:21:18,780
I'd like to answer that question now.
900
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,790
What about you, Mum?
901
01:21:22,870 --> 01:21:25,420
Are you leading your dream life?
902
01:21:25,500 --> 01:21:27,960
Are you satisfied with your current life?
903
01:21:34,470 --> 01:21:40,510
My life didn't work out as planned.
904
01:21:41,270 --> 01:21:47,060
I have countless regrets
and things which I wish I had done.
905
01:21:48,150 --> 01:21:54,950
But I can proudly say
that I'm contented with my life.
906
01:21:55,820 --> 01:21:57,870
I am very thankful...
907
01:21:57,950 --> 01:22:01,700
to have met your father...
908
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:06,160
and to be blessed with Masao and you.
909
01:22:29,230 --> 01:22:33,820
Thank you for reading my letters.
910
01:22:34,860 --> 01:22:38,030
Goodbye, Noriko.
911
01:24:13,380 --> 01:24:16,550
—Thank you.
—Thank you very much.
912
01:24:19,050 --> 01:24:20,220
The noodles are ready.
913
01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:24,340
—Can you cope?
—Yes, sir.
914
01:24:25,180 --> 01:24:28,350
—Welcome.
—Sorry to have kept you waiting.
915
01:24:28,430 --> 01:24:30,100
It looks great.
916
01:24:30,180 --> 01:24:31,690
The extra egg and seaweed are complimentary.
917
01:24:31,770 --> 01:24:34,730
Wow, thank you.
918
01:24:34,810 --> 01:24:37,770
He's a hard worker.
919
01:24:37,860 --> 01:24:39,940
—Okay.
—One Shishi-ramen, please.
920
01:24:40,030 --> 01:24:42,150
One Shishi-ramen coming right up.
921
01:24:43,700 --> 01:24:45,620
I can see that.
922
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,210
This is lovely!
923
01:24:57,290 --> 01:24:59,130
I'm glad you like it.
924
01:25:07,180 --> 01:25:09,850
—It looks good.
—Yes.
925
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,400
And...
926
01:25:18,860 --> 01:25:20,530
here.
927
01:25:23,900 --> 01:25:26,910
You said you missed getting a letter
from your mother on your birthday.
928
01:25:26,990 --> 01:25:29,330
So I wrote you one.
It's nothing much though.
929
01:25:30,410 --> 01:25:32,750
"Let's continue to get along!"
930
01:25:34,500 --> 01:25:38,460
—It's really brief.
—I didn't know what to write.
931
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:41,710
Thank you.
932
01:25:44,170 --> 01:25:45,970
I'll go get changed.
933
01:25:51,470 --> 01:25:56,100
"Another contestant has taken the lead.
We'll move on to the last question."

936
01:26:04,030 --> 01:26:05,570
—It's Donald Keene.
—"White."
937
01:26:05,650 --> 01:26:07,070
"Donald Keene."
938
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,200
—That's the answer we were looking for!
—Yes!
939
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,330
You're amazing.
940
01:26:13,700 --> 01:26:16,160
I used to watch this show
with my mum when I was a kid.
941
01:26:16,250 --> 01:26:18,500
So you like quizzes?
942
01:26:20,630 --> 01:26:23,170
Actually, not really.
943
01:26:23,260 --> 01:26:24,760
Why?
944
01:26:27,630 --> 01:26:29,760
I was chosen as a contestant
in a quiz tournament...
945
01:26:29,850 --> 01:26:32,600
when I was in elementary school.
946
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:36,810
But I didn't answer a single question.
947
01:26:37,770 --> 01:26:39,350
Why not?
948
01:26:42,230 --> 01:26:44,900
Because I was weak and scared.
949
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:52,120
Even now, I still wish I have a chance...
950
01:26:52,370 --> 01:26:54,540
to relive that day
so I could do things differently.
951
01:27:04,590 --> 01:27:08,340
—You can do that.
—How?
952
01:27:08,430 --> 01:27:11,090
—By participating in "Attack 25."
—What?
953
01:27:11,180 --> 01:27:15,140
Win the game and take me on
the Mediterranean cruise.
954
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:25,820

957
01:27:58,350 --> 01:28:01,230
I love the orange suit.
958
01:28:01,310 --> 01:28:03,770
—What about the buttons?
—The buttons... how about red?
959
01:28:03,860 --> 01:28:06,230
Okay. And his tie?
960
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,820
It'll be lime green.
961
01:28:07,900 --> 01:28:09,900
Sounds great!

01:28:10,820 --> 01:28:13,740

The qualifying test for "Attack 25"
is said to be as difficult as...
965
01:28:42,230 --> 01:28:45,020
the entrance exams
of prestigious universities.
966
01:28:45,110 --> 01:28:49,400
Candidates who passed the test
will stay on for an interview.
967
01:28:49,480 --> 01:28:53,070
An interview? That's not really my forte...
968
01:28:56,370 --> 01:28:57,530
Vitamin C?
969
01:28:57,620 --> 01:29:00,250
—"Vitamin A."
—"That's correct!"
970
01:29:00,660 --> 01:29:02,540
I see, it's Vitamin A.
971
01:29:04,420 --> 01:29:06,330
"Vitamin A."
972
01:29:06,420 --> 01:29:08,130
—I'm home.
—Welcome home.
973
01:29:08,210 --> 01:29:09,710
I'm sorry. I'll fix dinner now.
974
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:13,470
Don't worry about it.
I can fix dinner once in a while.

01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:18,780
—Quick! Hide the festive red rice.
—Hide it...
981
01:30:18,870 --> 01:30:21,240
You shouldn't have served the rice.
982
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:23,540
Get the white rice.
983
01:30:25,460 --> 01:30:27,790
We need to keep these.
984
01:30:27,870 --> 01:30:29,380
Oh crap, the streamers too.
985
01:30:35,010 --> 01:30:38,640
I graduated from university...
986
01:30:41,140 --> 01:30:43,560
and found a job in my hometown.
987
01:30:57,030 --> 01:31:01,530
Masao failed his university
entrance exams three times.
988
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,290
So did I...
989
01:31:06,330 --> 01:31:08,290
with the "Attack 25" preliminary rounds.

01:31:31,940 --> 01:31:33,820
What trip?
995
01:31:33,900 --> 01:31:37,780
I'm going on a road trip!
I'll tour Japan on my bicycle.

What are you talking about?
997
01:31:39,650 --> 01:31:42,410
That's what Mum wrote in her letter.
998
01:31:45,700 --> 01:31:46,740
Look.
999
01:31:46,830 --> 01:31:48,460
"Try travelling when you're lost in life."
1000
01:31:48,540 --> 01:31:50,620
Are you sure this is what she meant by that?
1001
01:31:50,710 --> 01:31:53,170
A man should venture out
at least once in his life, right?
1002
01:31:53,250 --> 01:31:55,380
That's not how I interpret it.
1003
01:31:55,460 --> 01:31:56,920
Anyway, have you told Dad about this?
1004
01:31:57,010 --> 01:31:59,590
Yes, I did, like a man.
1005
01:31:59,670 --> 01:32:00,970
What did you say?
1006
01:32:01,630 --> 01:32:05,180
University is not for me,
but I'm not ready to find a job yet.
1007
01:32:05,260 --> 01:32:07,600
So I'll do a bit of travelling first.
1008
01:32:08,390 --> 01:32:09,600
You're quite a piece of work, aren't you?
1009
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,310
—He disapproved.
—Of course he did.
1010
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,190
He said he had failed as a father.
1011
01:32:14,270 --> 01:32:16,190
He even cried a little.
1012
01:32:16,770 --> 01:32:18,360
Tell him to take care, will you?
1013
01:32:18,440 --> 01:32:19,530
See you.
1014
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,330
When will you be back?
1015
01:32:28,410 --> 01:32:31,710
Well, in about a year or two, I suppose.
1016
01:32:34,830 --> 01:32:37,210
I knew it!
1017
01:32:41,130 --> 01:32:42,760
Masao!
1018
01:32:47,430 --> 01:32:49,680
Don't look for me!

1021
01:32:57,980 --> 01:33:00,440
I'm sorry, Noriko!
1022
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,070
Don't come after me!

1024
01:33:05,870 --> 01:33:08,410
Call us, okay?
1025
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,170

I shall now announce the list
of candidates who passed the test.
1028
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:32,930
Candidate number five, Mr Nosaka.
1029
01:33:33,020 --> 01:33:34,600
I did it!
1030
01:33:36,060 --> 01:33:38,520
Please go for your interview after this.
1031
01:33:39,690 --> 01:33:42,820
—Candidate number ten, Miss Tamura.
—Yes!
1032
01:33:47,490 --> 01:33:50,540
Candidate number sixteen, Miss Suzuki.
1033
01:33:51,580 --> 01:33:53,160
Yes.
1034
01:33:57,250 --> 01:33:58,290
Congratulations.

01:33:58,380 --> 01:34:00,210
—Thank you.
—Candidate number twenty-one, Mr Kato.
1036
01:34:00,300 --> 01:34:02,300
Please have a seat.
1037
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:07,430
—Are you Miss Suzuki Noriko?
—Yes.
1038
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,350
Noriko?
1039
01:34:09,430 --> 01:34:11,930
I'm sorry. There are two contestants
with the same surname.
1040
01:34:12,020 --> 01:34:13,100
Oh, I see.
1041
01:34:13,180 --> 01:34:16,100
And you're Miss Noriko. All right.
1042
01:34:16,190 --> 01:34:20,650
My name, Noriko,
was given to me by my father.
1043
01:34:20,730 --> 01:34:22,530
"Nori" stands for "century"
as in the twenty-first century...
1044
01:34:22,610 --> 01:34:26,150
and "ko" stands for child.
1045
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:31,910
It seems that my father
gave me this name to say that...
1046
01:34:31,990 --> 01:34:34,540
I'm a child of this day and age.
1047
01:34:39,670 --> 01:34:41,880
I feel out of place here.
1048
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,760
We could have just gone to our usual hangout.
1049
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:44,920
No, that won't do.
1050
01:34:45,010 --> 01:34:46,970
We're here to celebrate today.
1051
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,890
Noriko, congratulations on
passing the written test.
1052
01:34:50,970 --> 01:34:52,850
Thank you.
1053
01:34:53,390 --> 01:34:57,020
Congratulations to you
on your promotion to store manager.
1054
01:34:57,100 --> 01:34:58,940

I'm so happy for you.

How was your interview?
1057
01:35:02,900 --> 01:35:04,360
I was a nervous wreck.
1058
01:35:04,440 --> 01:35:06,030
When will you know
the outcome of the interview?
1059
01:35:06,110 --> 01:35:10,740
They say they'll inform me soon.
I wonder if I made it.
1060
01:35:10,820 --> 01:35:13,450
I'm sure you did fine.
1061
01:35:14,990 --> 01:35:18,750
I just told them my honest feelings.
1062
01:35:27,510 --> 01:35:29,300
Noriko.
1063
01:35:30,430 --> 01:35:33,970
May I confess my honest feelings
to you as well?
1064
01:35:36,350 --> 01:35:38,020
What?
1065
01:35:43,860 --> 01:35:46,820
Yes, I see.
1066
01:35:48,150 --> 01:35:49,860
All right.
1067
01:35:50,410 --> 01:35:53,950
Thank you very much. Bye.
1068
01:35:54,030 --> 01:35:55,870
I'm home.
1069
01:35:56,370 --> 01:35:58,080
Noriko!
1070
01:35:58,160 --> 01:35:59,580
Yes?
1071
01:36:01,330 --> 01:36:02,960
Congratulations!
1072
01:36:03,750 --> 01:36:05,340
What? How did you know...?
1073
01:36:05,420 --> 01:36:07,090
You made it!
1074
01:36:07,170 --> 01:36:10,970
You've qualified for "Attack 25"!
1075
01:36:12,510 --> 01:36:14,100
Really?
1076
01:36:14,180 --> 01:36:15,640
I did it!
1077
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,350
—You did it!
—Yes, I did it...!
1078
01:36:23,860 --> 01:36:26,440
What is the headmaster's nickname
in Natsume Soseki's novel, "Botchan"?
1079
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:28,480
—Is it Racoon?
—That's correct!
1080
01:36:28,570 --> 01:36:30,150
Yes! There's a taxi.
1081
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,910
—Dad, come on.
—The taxi's here.
1082
01:36:32,990 --> 01:36:35,200
Did Osaka use to be this hot?
1083
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,580
—Sorry to keep you waiting.
—I'm coming...
1084
01:36:41,750 --> 01:36:44,630
"Attack 25"
1085
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,050
—Noriko!
—Maho!
1086
01:36:54,140 --> 01:36:56,430
—It's been so long!
—Thank you for coming.
1087
01:36:56,510 --> 01:36:58,140
All the best to you.
1088
01:36:58,220 --> 01:37:01,020
—Are you a contestant?
—Yes, I'm Suzuki.
1089
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:02,350
—Ms Suzuki Noriko?
—Yes.
1090
01:37:02,440 --> 01:37:03,850
And these are your supporters?
1091
01:37:03,940 --> 01:37:05,770
I'm her father and these are her friends.
1092
01:37:05,860 --> 01:37:08,110
Please wait here.
1093
01:37:08,190 --> 01:37:10,230
—Noriko, this way please.
—Okay.
1094
01:37:10,570 --> 01:37:11,610
—I'm going in then.
—Good luck.
1095
01:37:11,690 --> 01:37:12,860
Good luck.
1096
01:37:14,990 --> 01:37:16,570
You can do it.
1097
01:37:16,990 --> 01:37:18,700
Do your best.
1098
01:37:20,500 --> 01:37:22,290
You too.
1099
01:37:26,710 --> 01:37:30,420
"Attack 25"
1100
01:37:30,510 --> 01:37:32,590
"Master of Ceremony, Tanihara Shosuke"
1101
01:37:49,940 --> 01:37:52,150
Welcome to this week's edition
of "Attack 25 Panel Quiz."
1102
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:53,610
I'm your host, Tanihara Shosuke.
1103
01:37:53,690 --> 01:37:55,950
Today's contestants are all in their twenties.
1104
01:37:56,030 --> 01:37:58,700
I anticipate a refreshing
and lively competition ahead of us.
1105
01:37:58,780 --> 01:38:01,040
Good luck and may the best player win
the trip to the Mediterranean.
1106
01:38:01,330 --> 01:38:04,250
Here's this week's opening question.
1107
01:38:04,330 --> 01:38:06,920
"Hello, everyone. I'm Tanaka Kei."
1108
01:38:07,170 --> 01:38:12,460
"I play Takanashi Ayumuya in the new drama
'Tokyo Metropolitan Police Team 0'..."
1109
01:38:12,550 --> 01:38:15,220
"which airs tonight at nine."
1110
01:38:15,510 --> 01:38:17,550
"I'll be giving you hints on..."
1111
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:22,770
"a tool used in police investigations."
1112
01:38:22,850 --> 01:38:23,930
"Hint number one"
1113
01:38:24,020 --> 01:38:27,980
"It's used in a crime laboratory."
1114
01:38:28,310 --> 01:38:31,360
"Hint number two, it measures
and records biological responses..."
1115
01:38:31,440 --> 01:38:32,480
Green.
1116
01:38:32,610 --> 01:38:33,940
"Hayase Airi, Fukushima"
A polygraph.
1117
01:38:34,030 --> 01:38:36,490
Excellent! That's right.
1118
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:38,820
"Airi all the way!"
1119
01:38:38,910 --> 01:38:42,830
Green has taken its first panel.
1120
01:38:42,910 --> 01:38:45,040
The next question will be given by
ABC announcer, Miss Kato.
1121
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,420
Good evening.
I'm Kato Akiko, an ABC announcer.
1122
01:38:48,500 --> 01:38:50,540
The following question has three options.
1123
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:53,380
Blue.
1124
01:38:55,130 --> 01:38:56,840
—The question hasn't been read yet.
—I'm so sorry!
1125
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,300
—Did you press it by mistake?
—Yes.
1126
01:38:58,380 --> 01:39:00,180
—It's fine. Don't worry about it.
—I'm so sorry...
1127
01:39:00,260 --> 01:39:01,800
—Just relax.
—Okay.
1128
01:39:01,890 --> 01:39:04,470
Where are your supporters?
1129
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:05,640
My friends and family are over there.
1130
01:39:05,730 --> 01:39:07,810
—I see. They're your friends and family.
—Noriko!
1131
01:39:07,890 --> 01:39:09,060
Thank you.
1132
01:39:09,150 --> 01:39:13,320
—Your sign reads "Do best your."
—Oh no! I got it wrong.
1133
01:39:14,900 --> 01:39:17,360
The gentleman in the middle,
are you her father?
1134
01:39:17,450 --> 01:39:18,490
—Yes, I'm her father.
—I see.
1135
01:39:18,570 --> 01:39:20,280
And is the young lad next to you family too?
1136
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,370
—Well, I'm...
—He's her friend.
1137
01:39:23,450 --> 01:39:25,540
What was that awkward silence?
1138
01:39:25,620 --> 01:39:28,330
—So he's not family. I see.
—Yes.
1139
01:39:28,410 --> 01:39:31,420
Well, not family but more than
just a friend, perhaps?
1140
01:39:31,500 --> 01:39:33,170
Please do your best to support her.
1141
01:39:33,250 --> 01:39:34,420
Miss Kato, the question, please.
1142
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:36,880
"Known for its beautiful swirl..."
1143
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:42,800
"it is named after the face-on spiral
galaxy M101 in the Big Dipper..."
1144
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:44,970
Blue.
1145
01:39:45,140 --> 01:39:47,100
A pinwheel firework.
1146
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,190
Excellent!
1147
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:53,650
Way to go, Noriko!
1148
01:39:53,940 --> 01:40:00,360
The common Kanji character used for
the bird, the shrike and the centipede is...
1149
01:40:00,950 --> 01:40:02,160
Blue.
1150
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,120
—The Kanji character, "hundred."
—That's right!
1151
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:07,370
Bravo!
1152
01:40:08,750 --> 01:40:11,290
What a pity, Green and White.
Blue, what's the answer?
1153
01:40:11,370 --> 01:40:13,630
It's the Battle of Waterloo.
1154
01:40:13,790 --> 01:40:15,250
That's right. That's the right answer.
1155
01:40:15,340 --> 01:40:18,630
Come on, high five. Give me a five.
1156
01:40:20,050 --> 01:40:21,380
Blue.
1157
01:40:21,470 --> 01:40:22,550
Trench coat.
1158
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:26,180
That's right! It's a trench coat.
1159
01:40:27,430 --> 01:40:29,890
Blue takes panel fifteen.
1160
01:40:29,980 --> 01:40:32,440
—"The profit is called..."
—White.
1161
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:33,600
"Nakano Kenta, Osaka"
Capital gain!
1162
01:40:33,980 --> 01:40:35,360
That's right! It's capital gain.
1163
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:37,780
—Red.
—Ego.
1164
01:40:37,860 --> 01:40:40,360
That's right!
"Nozaki Shunji, Aichi"
1165
01:40:40,820 --> 01:40:42,910
It's okay...
1166
01:40:43,860 --> 01:40:48,660
"In the Muromachi period,
it was performed along with Noh..."
1167
01:40:48,740 --> 01:40:50,410
"Kyogen" (Traditional Japanese comic theatre).
1168
01:40:50,750 --> 01:40:52,210
That's right! The answer is "Kyogen."
1169
01:40:52,290 --> 01:40:53,330
Well done!
1170
01:40:53,540 --> 01:40:55,130
Group.
1171
01:40:55,330 --> 01:40:56,790
Excellent!
1172
01:40:59,670 --> 01:41:01,630
Mori Terumoto.
1173
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,930
That's right. It's Mori Terumoto.
1174
01:41:05,930 --> 01:41:08,510
Gregor Samsa was
the lead character of this...
1175
01:41:09,810 --> 01:41:12,020
—Blue.
—"The Metamorphosis."
1176
01:41:12,100 --> 01:41:14,020
—That's correct!
—Yes!
1177
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:19,070
Blue takes panel ten,
giving her a total of nine panels.
1178
01:41:19,150 --> 01:41:21,070
—Well done!
—Green has lost two panels.
1179
01:41:21,150 --> 01:41:23,780
We've come to our last panel.
1180
01:41:23,860 --> 01:41:26,450
Let's have a look at
how our contestants are doing.
1181
01:41:26,530 --> 01:41:29,740
Green occupies eleven panels
and Blue has nine.
1182
01:41:29,830 --> 01:41:33,290
If Blue manages to occupy
the last panel, panel twenty-two...
1183
01:41:33,370 --> 01:41:35,960
Green will lose six panels
and Blue will gain seven panels.
1184
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:38,710
Blue will turn the tables on Green
and win today's contest.
1185
01:41:38,790 --> 01:41:41,420
—Well then...
—Mr Suzuki.
1186
01:41:41,510 --> 01:41:43,220
Yeah?
1187
01:41:44,340 --> 01:41:46,800
I'd like to ask you something.
1188
01:41:46,890 --> 01:41:48,510
What is it?
1189
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:54,690
I'd like to ask for
Noriko's hand in marriage.
1190
01:41:57,060 --> 01:41:58,360
What?
1191
01:41:59,980 --> 01:42:03,650
Mr Suzuki, your daughter is doing fine.
1192
01:42:03,740 --> 01:42:05,280
Your family is getting all fired up as well.
1193
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,240
Miss Suzuki, how do you feel right now?
1194
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:12,080
I'll take my chance and give it my best shot.
1195
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,460
Great. Let's have the last question.
Go ahead, Miss Kato.
1196
01:42:14,540 --> 01:42:16,040
Okay.
1197
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:20,840
"Akutagawa Prize has just
celebrated its 153rd anniversary."
1198
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:23,420
"The winner of the first Akutagawa Prize is..."
1199
01:42:28,090 --> 01:42:29,180
Blue!
1200
01:42:32,390 --> 01:42:36,640
There's more than just one story.
There are countless stories out there.
1201
01:42:36,810 --> 01:42:40,360
And we'll need just as many heroes.
1202
01:42:43,070 --> 01:42:48,490
You're the heroine of your story.
1203
01:42:50,620 --> 01:42:53,160
There's nothing to worry about.
1204
01:42:53,580 --> 01:42:55,790
You can do it.
1205
01:42:56,460 --> 01:42:59,170
Everything will be just fine.
1206
01:43:08,050 --> 01:43:10,720
How do you read this?
1207
01:43:11,180 --> 01:43:13,140
"Sobo."
1208
01:43:13,220 --> 01:43:14,970
What does it mean?
1209
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:23,820
It refers to those who live
an earnest life and die an honest death.
1210
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,900
The nameless, faceless heroes
of everyday life.
1211
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,910
People like you and me.
1212
01:43:36,950 --> 01:43:39,290
I'm getting hungry. Shall we go home?
1213
01:43:39,370 --> 01:43:40,670
Yes.
1214
01:43:43,790 --> 01:43:45,170
Pop quiz for you.
1215
01:43:45,250 --> 01:43:47,050
What are we having for dinner tonight?
1216
01:43:47,130 --> 01:43:48,720
What? Give me a hint.
1217
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:50,550
It's your father's favourite dish.
1218
01:43:50,630 --> 01:43:52,600
Dad's favourite?
1219
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:14,410
It's good.
1220
01:44:14,490 --> 01:44:16,790
There's octopus inside.
1221
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,410
I like the ones you made with konjac jelly.
1222
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,300
Would you like to have one too?
1223
01:44:38,270 --> 01:44:40,060
I'll throw that away for you.
1224
01:44:43,270 --> 01:44:45,270
I'll go get us some drinks.
1225
01:44:52,860 --> 01:44:56,490
What a shame. You knew the answer
to the last question was "Sobo."
1226
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:02,160
But I just couldn't
remember the author's name.
1227
01:45:03,870 --> 01:45:08,050
I really wanted to win the game
and go on that Mediterranean cruise.
1228
01:45:12,420 --> 01:45:14,180
Noriko.
1229
01:45:15,050 --> 01:45:16,850
You did well.
1230
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,810
I'm so proud of you.
1231
01:45:24,980 --> 01:45:27,190
Oh, it's just a quiz show.
1232
01:45:27,270 --> 01:45:31,240
No, I don't mean just today.
1233
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:33,990
I'm talking about everything
you've accomplished so far.
1234
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,240
You've worked hard.
1235
01:45:48,420 --> 01:45:50,050
Dad.
1236
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:52,920
Could you pat me on the head?
1237
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,330
Mr Suzuki, would you like another drink?
1238
01:46:37,630 --> 01:46:41,890
Please take good care of Noriko.
1239
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,060
I will.
1240
01:46:53,730 --> 01:46:58,030
Yes, I'll do my best!
1241
01:46:58,110 --> 01:46:59,990
I'll make her happy!
1242
01:47:04,330 --> 01:47:06,250
I can't say no to that now, can I?
1243
01:47:06,330 --> 01:47:08,080
This is for you, Noriko.
1244
01:47:11,380 --> 01:47:12,540
Shall we have a toast?
1245
01:47:12,630 --> 01:47:14,090
Yes.
1246
01:47:14,510 --> 01:47:16,220
To happiness!
1247
01:47:16,300 --> 01:47:18,090
—Cheers!
—Cheers!
1248
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:24,680
—Thank you.
—Thank you.
1249
01:47:26,020 --> 01:47:28,600
I'm impressed you nailed that one.
1250
01:47:28,980 --> 01:47:32,520
It was half luck and half intuition.
1251
01:47:32,610 --> 01:47:34,440
You really have the flair for this game.
1252
01:47:34,530 --> 01:47:35,980
Miss Hayase is this week's winner.
1253
01:47:36,070 --> 01:47:37,780
I did it!
1254
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:41,990
Miss Suzuki, you were so close.
1255
01:47:42,070 --> 01:47:44,700
—May I give a shout-out to my brother?
—Sure, please go ahead.
1256
01:47:44,790 --> 01:47:48,080
Masao, I'm getting married. Come home!
1257
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:51,830
I don't know the details, but Masao...
1258
01:47:52,130 --> 01:47:54,130
"Don't miss your sister's wedding."
1259
01:47:54,210 --> 01:47:57,340
"See you next week on 'Attack 25.'"
1260
01:47:57,460 --> 01:47:58,550
Noriko?
1261
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:00,840
—"See you then."
—"See you then."
1262
01:48:02,970 --> 01:48:07,520
—"This programme was brought to you by..."
—"Congratulations."
1263
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,310
Oh no.
1264
01:48:09,940 --> 01:48:11,940
Please hurry up!
1265
01:48:12,020 --> 01:48:14,060
I'm going as fast as I can.
1266
01:48:51,810 --> 01:48:54,060
Hurry up, Dad.
1267
01:48:54,150 --> 01:48:57,980
I know... relax, Miss Bride.
1268
01:48:58,070 --> 01:48:59,860
Hello there.
1269
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,240
—Is the taxi here?
—It's waiting outside.
1270
01:49:03,740 --> 01:49:05,490
Good morning, Mr Bridegroom.
1271
01:49:05,570 --> 01:49:06,660
Good morning.
1272
01:49:06,740 --> 01:49:08,790
Enough of that. We have to hurry!
1273
01:49:08,870 --> 01:49:11,120
Is everything okay?
I'll close the boot then.
1274
01:49:11,210 --> 01:49:13,330
—We've gotten everything, right?
—I think we have everything we need.
1275
01:49:13,420 --> 01:49:16,130
Noriko, Jun. Let's take a photo
to remember today by.
1276
01:49:16,210 --> 01:49:18,340
But we're pressed for time.
1277
01:49:18,420 --> 01:49:19,550
Let's do it.
1278
01:49:19,630 --> 01:49:21,130
—With the sunflowers.
—Okay.
1279
01:49:21,220 --> 01:49:23,470
Wait for me!
1280
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:27,600
Masao?
1281
01:49:33,480 --> 01:49:34,940
I made it!
1282
01:49:35,440 --> 01:49:37,480
Nice to meet you. I'm Tateishi.
1283
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:41,570
Nice to meet you too.
Congratulations. I'm Masao.
1284
01:49:42,440 --> 01:49:44,240
Why didn't you call home?
1285
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:46,700
—Calm down, Dad!
—Calm down, Father.
1286
01:49:46,780 --> 01:49:47,820
Can't you be happy that I'm home?
1287
01:49:47,910 --> 01:49:49,870
Why did you have to travel across Japan?
1288
01:49:49,950 --> 01:49:51,290
To find my inner self.
1289
01:49:51,370 --> 01:49:54,160
Excuse me...!
1290
01:49:54,250 --> 01:49:56,210
Excuse me!
1291
01:49:56,670 --> 01:49:59,550
You'll be late for the wedding.
1292
01:49:59,630 --> 01:50:01,170
That's right.
1293
01:50:01,260 --> 01:50:03,090
—Is everybody ready?
—Yes.
1294
01:50:03,170 --> 01:50:05,380
Say cheese!
1295
01:50:06,130 --> 01:50:10,180
One more time. Say cheese!
1296
01:50:13,350 --> 01:50:14,850
Come in.
1297
01:50:37,790 --> 01:50:39,380
What do you think?
1298
01:50:48,970 --> 01:50:50,720
Thank you, Dad.
1299
01:50:51,180 --> 01:50:54,730
Noriko the cry-baby has grown up
to become a bride today.
1300
01:51:01,730 --> 01:51:05,280
Wow! You look amazing!
1301
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:06,860
That goes without saying.
1302
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:18,830
Actually...
1303
01:51:20,250 --> 01:51:22,170
Mum has one more letter for you.
1304
01:51:24,170 --> 01:51:25,670
What?
1305
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,340
It was enclosed in my last letter.
1306
01:51:28,430 --> 01:51:32,050
She told me to give it to you
on your wedding day.
1307
01:51:32,350 --> 01:51:34,850
She didn't even tell Dad.
1308
01:51:34,930 --> 01:51:36,980
I can't believe she didn't tell me.
1309
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:42,400
She did this to make sure that
I'd attend your wedding.
1310
01:51:45,530 --> 01:51:46,570
"To Noriko who's getting married today"
1311
01:51:46,650 --> 01:51:48,400
Here you go.
1312
01:51:54,370 --> 01:51:56,660
It's Mum's handwriting.
1313
01:51:59,460 --> 01:52:02,290
We'll leave you to read the letter.
1314
01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:22,060
"To Noriko who's getting married today"
1315
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:39,370
Noriko, congratulations on your marriage!
1316
01:52:40,330 --> 01:52:46,250
I'm so happy for you
on this very special day.
1317
01:52:47,550 --> 01:52:52,970
It's a shame that I can't meet
the groom personally.
1318
01:52:53,720 --> 01:53:00,310
But I'm certain that the man
you've chosen is a fine man.
1319
01:53:02,810 --> 01:53:05,190
Please remember this.
1320
01:53:05,730 --> 01:53:12,530
You have a lot of people around you
who love and support you.
1321
01:53:15,910 --> 01:53:20,790
I've raised Masao to be
a caring brother, haven't I?
1322
01:53:22,290 --> 01:53:23,790
Please. Just be yourself.
1323
01:53:23,870 --> 01:53:26,750
Whenever you're in need, talk to him.
1324
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,170
I'm sure he'll help.
1325
01:53:29,250 --> 01:53:31,050
You're too tense.
1326
01:53:31,130 --> 01:53:33,430
Relax. You're too stiff.
1327
01:53:38,930 --> 01:53:40,390
Your father...
1328
01:53:40,470 --> 01:53:46,480
will be there for you even if
the entire world turns its back on you.
1329
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:50,820
If you're ever in need, you know
you can depend on him.
1330
01:53:57,280 --> 01:54:01,950
You are loved by many.
1331
01:54:02,910 --> 01:54:07,710
So always count your blessings.
1332
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:12,960
Cherish your husband.
1333
01:54:13,050 --> 01:54:19,510
Live your life to the fullest
and always be happy.
1334
01:54:22,180 --> 01:54:28,560
I'm so blessed to have you as my daughter.
1335
01:54:32,610 --> 01:54:37,450
PS: As an apology for not being
able to attend your wedding...
1336
01:54:37,530 --> 01:54:41,540
I made you a veil with all my love.
1337
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:40,550
—Hello there, Noriko.
—Hello.
1338
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:41,680
—Here to visit your mother?
—Yes.
1339
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,060
That's a good kid.
Don't you have school today?
1340
01:55:44,140 --> 01:55:46,850
—It's Sunday today.
—Oh, it is?
1341
01:55:46,930 --> 01:55:48,560
She'll be delighted to see you.
You'd better be on your way then.
1342
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:50,100
Okay.
1343
01:57:10,730 --> 01:57:12,810
Congratulations.
1344
01:57:17,900 --> 01:57:19,780
Thank you.
1345
02:02:22,910 --> 02:02:24,580
Noriko.
1346
02:02:25,460 --> 02:02:27,420
I'm going out to run some errands.
Would you like to come along?
1347
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:29,880
—Can we swing by the supermarket?
—Sure.
1348
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:32,670
—I'll come with you then. Wait for me.
—Okay.
1349
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:43,180
I'll be back soon.
