1
00:00:02,168 --> 00:00:03,836
Why? Why is it?

2
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:07,640
Why are you different
from other mothers?

3
00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:12,111
Why? Why is it?

4
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:15,247
Ume!

5
00:00:15,248 --> 00:00:16,448
I'm sorry.

6
00:00:16,449 --> 00:00:19,551
But you used to be famous
for asking why, and now

7
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:21,687
you're in a bind when she
keeps asking you why.

8
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:23,589
Chiyo!

9
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:24,690
My husband...

10
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:27,793
Your mom may be a little
different from other

11
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:30,596
mothers... No...
She definitely is.

12
00:00:30,597 --> 00:00:33,832
Why are you barging in
and trying to interfere?

13
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,401
No... I'll take
care of this.

14
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:38,137
No! I'll answer her.
Chiyo asked me.

15
00:00:38,138 --> 00:00:40,539
Listen, Chiyo...

16
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:44,843
Chiyo! Chiyo!

17
00:00:44,844 --> 00:00:46,445
Come back here!

18
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:48,547
She was surprised

19
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,950
She just asked a
question, and

20
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:52,351
the two of you got
all excited.

21
00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:53,452
Got excited?

22
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:00,092
You're right.. I feel bad now.

23
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:04,997
I thought Chiyo and Oasa
weren't that much alike,

24
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,833
but they may be more
alike than we thought.

25
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:18,110
Her daughter, Chiyo's questioning
why made Asa cringe...

26
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:20,079
Chiyo!

27
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:26,700

42
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:39,124
Actually, I think
I know why...

43
00:02:41,027 --> 00:02:44,997
Lately, Chiyo often plays
house with her friends

44
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:48,100
and our workers lately.

45
00:02:48,935 --> 00:02:52,271
With Mit-chan and
Kayo-chan.

46
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:55,474
When Chiyo played the
part of the mother,

47
00:02:56,876 --> 00:02:59,478
the two of them told her
that if she's a mother

48
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,581
it's strange that she's
always going out.

49
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:08,320
Watch me.

50
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:11,223
Welcome home,
my husband...

51
00:03:11,891 --> 00:03:13,725
Everything's ready.

52
00:03:13,726 --> 00:03:17,429
That's right... A mother
stays at home like this

53
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:20,599
and takes care of us.

54
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,000
That's what's normal.

55
00:03:22,001 --> 00:03:24,903
My mom's not like that.

56
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:28,340
Your mom's not like
other mothers.

57
00:03:28,341 --> 00:03:29,541
That's right.

58
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:34,980
When you talk about
mothers, if there

59
00:03:34,981 --> 00:03:38,317
are 10 mothers, then
you'll have 10 different

60
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:39,751
kinds of mothers.

61
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:43,288
No matter what kind of mother
they are, it's not strange.

62
00:03:44,591 --> 00:03:46,125
What did Chiyo say?

63
00:03:47,594 --> 00:03:49,962
I thought she might
be feeling hurt, but

64
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:52,598
after that, she went
back to playing again.

65
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:55,267
So I thought she didn't
think anything of it.

66
00:03:55,268 --> 00:03:56,935
Is that right?

67
00:03:58,605 --> 00:04:02,708
I feel really bad.

68
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:05,410
No... You haven't
done anything bad.

69
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:09,548
It's true that you're
different from other mothers.

70
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,117
Am I that different?

71
00:04:12,118 --> 00:04:13,619
Of course you are.

72
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,821
You're always traveling back
and forth between Osaka

73
00:04:15,855 --> 00:04:17,623
and Kyushu and even when
you're home, you're working

74
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:20,225
the abacus and going to the
meeting room with the men.

75
00:04:20,226 --> 00:04:24,029
Do you think there's another
mother out there like you?

76
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:27,299
Now that you mention
it, you're right.

77
00:04:28,568 --> 00:04:29,868
But...

78
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:32,504
That's what's good
about you, so

79
00:04:32,505 --> 00:04:34,173
you shouldn't be
worried about

80
00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:36,074
playing house at
this point...

81
00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:42,981
You have to get up early tomorrow
for the meeting, don't you?

82
00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:44,683
Go to bed.

83
00:04:47,854 --> 00:04:49,054
Thank you.

84
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,130
But, Asa...

85
00:05:01,601 --> 00:05:04,002
Even with all that,
you're okay...

86
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:07,773
No matter what they say
about you, and even if

87
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:09,875
you don't stay at home,
you're doing something

88
00:05:09,876 --> 00:05:11,743
that you can be
proud of...

89
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:20,285
Sometimes I think that
I'm the one who's bad.

90
00:05:26,192 --> 00:05:32,030
I don't believe this...
You're already asleep.

91
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:54,586
This good qualify coal is
mined from this area.

92
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:59,691
It's been 10 years since Asa
first bought the coal mine...

93
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:03,695
The merchants who finally
realized the value of coal,

94
00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:07,032
started getting
into coal mining.

95
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:11,169
The cost of transporting
coal is still high, but

96
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:16,775
if all of you will join together,
then I think it'll work out.

97
00:06:16,776 --> 00:06:19,845
Being the forerunner from
Osaka, Asa was in a

98
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:22,848
position now where a lot
of enchants came to

99
00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:25,217
listen to what she
had to say.

100
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,019
When you start digging
for coal, you may run

101
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:29,154
into areas where the
ground is hard...

102
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:36,094
You're always nice about teaching
anyone about it, aren't you?

103
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:38,997
When I first started
the business,

104
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:41,933
I often asked why,
and I was taught

105
00:06:41,934 --> 00:06:43,568
all kinds of things.

106
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:45,737
I have to repay
that obligation.

107
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,606
Besides...

108
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:56,348
And if anyone asks you why,
you should teach them.

109
00:06:58,184 --> 00:06:59,451
But...

110
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:03,622
I never thought that day
would really come.

111
00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:10,028
And yet, I can't even
answer my own

112
00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:12,597
daughter when she
asks me why.

113
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,600
I'm really not a good
mom, am I?

114
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:25,143
That's why you mustn't
go to the coal mine.

115
00:07:25,144 --> 00:07:28,580
And you should say,
"Welcome home"

116
00:07:28,581 --> 00:07:30,248
to your husband.

117
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:32,617
"Welcome home,
my husband."

118
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:35,887
What are you doing?

119
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:37,723
You're just in time.

120
00:07:37,724 --> 00:07:39,324
Be the father.

121
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:41,593
Come and sit here,
my husband.

122
00:07:42,662 --> 00:07:46,431
They look like they're having
fun playing house.

123
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,133
You're so right.

124
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:49,368
Hello...

125
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:51,970
Mr. Godai!

126
00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:57,943
You seem to have
grown again.

127
00:07:57,944 --> 00:07:59,878
I bought you some
candy, so eat it.

128
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:01,380
Thank you.

129
00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:03,615
Mr. Godai.

130
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:12,224
Pardon the intrusion.

131
00:08:13,292 --> 00:08:14,493
Excuse me.

132
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:20,365
Right now, Mr. Godai is
considered Osaka's

133
00:08:20,366 --> 00:08:24,603
benefactor, and he's the most
famous person in Kamigata.

134
00:08:24,604 --> 00:08:28,073
If Mr. Godai takes the
trouble to come over,

135
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:30,575
that must mean that
Kano-ya will soon

136
00:08:30,576 --> 00:08:32,544
be on its way
to stability.

137
00:08:32,578 --> 00:08:34,179
I'm sure it is.

138
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,948
Thank you for taking time to
come when you're so busy.

139
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:39,551
It seems you've come
to my company many

140
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:41,653
times and we always
miss each other.

141
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:45,724
I just wanted to ask
you about banks.

142
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:50,762
With the work to rebuild the coal
mine, we just fell so far behind.

143
00:08:50,797 --> 00:08:54,299
The head clerk is keeping
me from doing it now.

144
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:55,834
I see...

145
00:08:56,903 --> 00:08:59,304
The head clerk might be right.

146
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:04,142
Are you sure?

147
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:08,580
Yes. I'll admit that there
are a lot of banks now.

148
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:13,118
But a lot of those banks are
just banks in name only.

149
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:15,120
They're rich descendants of
samurai and nobles who

150
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,088
haven't studied how to do
it, and opened up banks.

151
00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:20,358
In other words, it's all a pretense
so they can ride the trend.

152
00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:22,627
What do you mean?

153
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:24,629
Yes. So as a prank,
they'll lend people

154
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:27,098
money, and throw their
weight around by

155
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:30,101
saying they're a bank. A lot of
them don't even think of

156
00:09:30,102 --> 00:09:32,170
their customers as customers.

157
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:36,007
Eventually, they'll go under.

158
00:09:36,742 --> 00:09:38,143
Is that right?

159
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:41,646
So it's a dangerous
business, after all.

160
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:44,716
The flood of banks could
be contributing to the

161
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:45,984
high prices now.

162
00:09:46,018 --> 00:09:47,953
The government will take
measures so if you

163
00:09:47,954 --> 00:09:50,088
try anything now, you'll
just get the runaround.

164
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,823
I see...

165
00:09:51,824 --> 00:09:55,827
Didn't I tell you that
we shouldn't do it?

166
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,396
You're right.

167
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:02,601
I'm glad we were able
to talk to you today.

168
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:05,403
Excuse me.

169
00:10:09,909 --> 00:10:11,076
But...

170
00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:16,681
Money changers who don't
turn into banks will just disappear.

171
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:19,851
That's where your
thinking is right.

172
00:10:22,855 --> 00:10:25,357
Just hold off for now, and
build up your funds...

173
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:27,726
Dent give up on it.

174
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:32,464
When you decide to do it,
follow through with it.

175
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:36,301
Don't lose... Not to
others but yourself.

176
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:41,239
You're Osaka's number one
female entrepreneur...

177
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:46,811
I'm Osaka's number one
female entrepreneur?

178
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:48,346
Yes.

179
00:10:48,347 --> 00:10:50,849
And eventually, I want
Kano-ya to help in

180
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:53,184
the development
of Hokkaido.

181
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,222
Is that the new company
that you started that

182
00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:58,924
everyone at the Chamber of
Commerce is talking about?

183
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:00,258
That's right.

184
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:02,761
People I used to work with
in the government asked

185
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,362
me to help since the
Hokkaido development

186
00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:06,364
isn't going the way
they want.

187
00:11:06,365 --> 00:11:08,266
Hokkaido is a gold mine.

188
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:12,337
Shipping, ranching, farming and
fishing and the processed

189
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:14,472
canned goods made from that.

190
00:11:14,473 --> 00:11:16,241
There are various types
of industries there.

191
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:17,876
They also have coal there.

192
00:11:18,945 --> 00:11:21,780
I want to make use
of your abilities.

193
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:27,218
Hokkaido? Someday, I...

194
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:34,593
Why? Why are you different
from the other mothers?

195
00:11:35,561 --> 00:11:39,331
If I go from Kyushu and Osaka
to Hokkaido...

196
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:43,902
I'll be even more of a
surprising mom, won't I?

197
00:11:47,106 --> 00:11:52,177
It's nothing. Please let
Kano-ya help you.

198
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:54,946
But...

199
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:58,183
If the government is saying
that it's not going the

200
00:11:58,184 --> 00:12:00,318
way they want, then it
must be a business

201
00:12:00,319 --> 00:12:02,153
that takes a lot of
work, isn't it?

202
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:05,523
You're right. But if the
Osaka merchants get

203
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:08,560
their hands into it, it's going
to be profitable someday.

204
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,762
That's right.

205
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:14,966
Our tenacity is different from the
government and merchants.

206
00:12:14,967 --> 00:12:17,469
That's right. It's a good
chance to show them

207
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,471
the power of the
Osaka merchants.

208
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,446
Pardon me for dropping
in all of a sudden.

209
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,949
I'm sorry we couldn't
offer you anything.

210
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:33,618
Are you going already?

211
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:35,387
That's right, Chiyo.

212
00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:37,522
He didn't come to play.

213
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:47,065
Next time, I won't come
to work but to play.

214
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:48,600
I promise.

215
00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:53,304
Be a good girl.

216
00:12:53,305 --> 00:12:54,339
I'm sorry.

217
00:12:56,208 --> 00:12:58,009
If you'll excuse me...

218
00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:06,251
What a magnificent man.

219
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,786
That's so right.

220
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,788
I'm so grateful to you.

221
00:13:11,857 --> 00:13:12,957
Eizaburo...

222
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:15,093
Yes?

223
00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:17,362
I'm sorry.

224
00:13:19,331 --> 00:13:23,168
I got too impatient about
starting up a bank.

225
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:27,439
Father told me not
to be so impatient.

226
00:13:30,042 --> 00:13:33,044
I'm really grateful that you
and Gansuke are here to

227
00:13:33,045 --> 00:13:36,114
stop me from being reckless
instead of giving up on

228
00:13:36,115 --> 00:13:38,883
me and throwing me out.

229
00:13:40,619 --> 00:13:43,521
Please continue to
keep me in line.

230
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:45,557
Mistress!

231
00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:48,993
Will you check
this for me?

232
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,695
All right.

233
00:13:52,898 --> 00:13:54,833
I feel much better now.

234
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,034
I'm going to work.

235
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,707
Asa certainly is
soft, isn't she?

236
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:06,678
Someone that great
acknowledges her

237
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,748
ability, and yet, no matter
how busy she is, when

238
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:12,383
someone asks her something,
she'll kindly answer them.

239
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:15,620
She'll listen to others...

240
00:14:17,323 --> 00:14:20,692
That's why no matter where
she goes, people trust her.

241
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,015
Meanwhile, at Kano-ya...

242
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,020
It came!

243
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:51,589
The letter Asa was waiting
for had arrived...
