1
00:00:03,043 --> 00:00:06,812
Asa used the lessons she learned
in running a coal mine, and

2
00:00:06,813 --> 00:00:10,983
at the new coal mine, she
never failed to do all the

3
00:00:10,984 --> 00:00:14,119
detailed inspections herself.

4
00:00:18,558 --> 00:00:22,394
{\an8}OSAKA

5
00:00:18,758 --> 00:00:21,927
When she returned to Osaka,
she had lively debates with

6
00:00:21,928 --> 00:00:25,464
her fellow merchants, and
burned with enthusiasm

7
00:00:25,465 --> 00:00:28,500
so she didn't miss anything
in the changing times...

8
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:34,440
Eight years from now, we'll have
what's called the National Diet.

9
00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:39,311
Times are changing
quickly, aren't they?

10
00:00:40,213 --> 00:00:41,347
And...

11
00:00:41,348 --> 00:00:42,781
I'm back!

12
00:00:43,550 --> 00:00:44,483
Asa!

13
00:00:45,485 --> 00:00:46,752
I have news. Big news!

14
00:00:46,753 --> 00:00:48,520
Is something wrong?

15
00:00:49,222 --> 00:00:51,657
Kisuke wrote to let us know
that they've found that

16
00:00:51,658 --> 00:00:53,959
the coal mine you bought
has lots of coal...

17
00:00:56,029 --> 00:00:57,663
You were right about it.

18
00:00:57,664 --> 00:00:58,931
It's something
to celebrate.

19
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:01,667
My husband!

20
00:01:01,668 --> 00:01:03,936
My wife is no ordinary
wife, after all.

21
00:01:03,937 --> 00:01:05,804
You're an exceptional wife.

22
00:01:07,774 --> 00:01:09,541
Stop it!

23
00:01:11,911 --> 00:01:13,345
Oh, my!

24
00:01:13,346 --> 00:01:14,780
Welcome home.

25
00:01:15,648 --> 00:01:17,349
Come here, Chiyo.

26
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:25,657
What a relief.

27
00:01:26,393 --> 00:01:29,495
She really is a lucky lady.

28
00:01:30,263 --> 00:01:31,330
She really is.

29
00:01:31,331 --> 00:01:35,667
Chiyo... I'm going
to work harder...

30
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:44,940

46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,014
Is that right?
They found coal?

47
00:02:56,015 --> 00:02:59,151
They'll be able to get even
more than the old mine.

48
00:02:59,152 --> 00:03:03,122
Asa is so enthusiastic that she's
talking about buying more mines.

49
00:03:03,123 --> 00:03:04,423
I'm glad.

50
00:03:06,059 --> 00:03:07,893
Isn't it about time, Shin-chan?

51
00:03:09,195 --> 00:03:12,598
Did you know that there's going
to be a spinning mill in Osaka?

52
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,033
I heard that we may be
able to make thread

53
00:03:15,034 --> 00:03:18,003
cheaper than the ones
imported from abroad.

54
00:03:18,004 --> 00:03:19,538
You have your ears to
the ground as usual.

55
00:03:19,572 --> 00:03:24,643
Coal is good, but I'm sure the thread
making industry will catch on, too.

56
00:03:24,677 --> 00:03:26,845
You should check into it
right away, Shin-chan.

57
00:03:26,846 --> 00:03:27,946
How about it?

58
00:03:27,947 --> 00:03:31,183
No... I have no interest
in business...

59
00:03:34,821 --> 00:03:36,321
But, Tomo-chan?

60
00:03:38,158 --> 00:03:41,226
Up until now, even if my
dad or my mom or Asa

61
00:03:41,227 --> 00:03:43,328
said anything to me...

62
00:03:43,329 --> 00:03:46,098
I never once thought that
I needed to work or

63
00:03:46,132 --> 00:03:48,800
to earn more money.

64
00:03:49,502 --> 00:03:50,802
Not even once?

65
00:03:50,803 --> 00:03:52,337
No... Not even once.

66
00:03:53,206 --> 00:03:54,540
But when my daughter asked me....

67
00:03:54,541 --> 00:03:58,510
Why? Why don't you work, Dad?

68
00:03:59,145 --> 00:04:02,214
When she says that to me,
I feel as though someone

69
00:04:02,215 --> 00:04:05,284
stabbed me right here...
Cutting me to the bone.

70
00:04:05,318 --> 00:04:06,952
To the bone?

71
00:04:06,953 --> 00:04:09,821
That's right. It's the first
time it's happened to me.

72
00:04:12,458 --> 00:04:15,027
It's not funny.

73
00:04:15,028 --> 00:04:18,197
It might sound ridiculous,
but a father wants his

74
00:04:18,198 --> 00:04:24,703
daughter to think of him
as an upstanding and great man.

75
00:04:27,273 --> 00:04:28,507
There's no mistake.

76
00:04:29,409 --> 00:04:31,543
That's what a man is.

77
00:04:33,346 --> 00:04:34,746
It's unbearable.

78
00:04:34,747 --> 00:04:36,148
Shinjiro...

79
00:04:37,417 --> 00:04:39,284
How about playing with me?

80
00:04:40,253 --> 00:04:41,987
It's been a while,
hasn't it?

81
00:05:28,201 --> 00:05:30,569
That's true...

82
00:05:31,738 --> 00:05:35,274
Having a mother who works
and having a father like that

83
00:05:35,275 --> 00:05:39,511
is a little... No... It might
be very strange...

84
00:05:39,512 --> 00:05:41,046
That's so true...

85
00:05:41,047 --> 00:05:48,620
If you ask me why, I'd like
to ask why myself.

86
00:05:49,122 --> 00:05:50,589
Is that right?

87
00:05:51,457 --> 00:05:52,924
That's right.

88
00:05:54,093 --> 00:05:56,028
I'm so sorry...

89
00:05:56,763 --> 00:05:59,931
In the past, I used to
tell your dad and

90
00:05:59,932 --> 00:06:05,671
mom to do things this
way or that way,

91
00:06:05,672 --> 00:06:10,942
but now, I just let it go.

92
00:06:13,413 --> 00:06:19,685
Every married couples has ways
that are most fitting for them...

93
00:06:20,753 --> 00:06:24,956
If they're both listening
to what they're saying

94
00:06:24,957 --> 00:06:27,292
and they're both there
for each other, that

95
00:06:27,293 --> 00:06:32,064
might be one way
of doing things.

96
00:06:33,866 --> 00:06:35,534
You may not understand...

97
00:06:36,302 --> 00:06:38,270
No, I don't.

98
00:06:39,572 --> 00:06:43,608
That's okay. It would be
strange if you could

99
00:06:43,609 --> 00:06:45,744
understand that right
away at your age.

100
00:06:48,147 --> 00:06:49,214
Excuse me...

101
00:06:50,149 --> 00:06:51,283
Mom!

102
00:06:52,452 --> 00:06:54,086
Did you finish your work?

103
00:06:55,488 --> 00:06:58,256
You haven't slept,
have you, Asa?

104
00:06:58,257 --> 00:06:59,858
I'm okay.

105
00:07:01,227 --> 00:07:03,795
The Girls' Day dolls your
Imai family sent us

106
00:07:03,796 --> 00:07:07,299
really are lavish
aren't they?

107
00:07:08,167 --> 00:07:11,002
I've never seen dolls this
beautiful before.

108
00:07:11,003 --> 00:07:12,571
Thank you.

109
00:07:12,572 --> 00:07:15,941
Chiyo... Can I help, too?

110
00:07:20,613 --> 00:07:23,014
This is the first time, I'm putting
the dolls on display with you.

111
00:07:23,015 --> 00:07:24,750
What are you saying?

112
00:07:24,751 --> 00:07:26,885
Last year, I was at the
coal mine, but when

113
00:07:26,886 --> 00:07:31,423
you were one and two years old,
we put them up together.

114
00:07:32,058 --> 00:07:34,192
You just don't remember.

115
00:07:38,030 --> 00:07:42,801
When I was little, I always put
them up with my big sister.

116
00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:45,137
The one in Wakayama?

117
00:07:45,138 --> 00:07:46,972
That's right. The one
in Wakayama.

118
00:07:46,973 --> 00:07:48,774
She grows oranges...

119
00:07:50,877 --> 00:07:53,378
Come to think of it, she
told me once...

120
00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:56,181
Even the dolls experience
different things, and

121
00:07:56,182 --> 00:07:58,950
grow stronger... That's how
they find happiness.

122
00:08:01,421 --> 00:08:06,758
I never thought both me and
my sister would turn out like that.

123
00:08:10,963 --> 00:08:15,467
Unlike me, you're more feminine,
so the dolls really suit you.

124
00:08:16,736 --> 00:08:18,904
You're like a little
Girls' Day doll.

125
00:08:19,872 --> 00:08:24,276
I'm no good... From the time I was
little, I used to swing the dolls around.

126
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:29,481
That's right... You're
like The Emperor doll.

127
00:08:31,818 --> 00:08:33,151
The Emperor doll?

128
00:08:34,754 --> 00:08:38,824
Rather than the Empress doll,
you're like the Emperor doll.

129
00:08:42,595 --> 00:08:44,062
The Emperor doll?

130
00:08:46,899 --> 00:08:48,467
The days went by...

131
00:08:50,002 --> 00:08:53,805
Just as Godai said, the government
established the Bank of Japan...

132
00:08:53,806 --> 00:08:57,375
Preparing for the modem
financial system.

133
00:09:27,473 --> 00:09:29,641
Has it been a year
since then?

134
00:09:35,381 --> 00:09:38,583
I want to drink 'ramune'
(lemon soda) Chiyo

135
00:09:38,584 --> 00:09:41,186
It's a nice dream
for a child...

136
00:09:45,658 --> 00:09:50,795
Asa... Do you have a minute?

137
00:09:55,101 --> 00:09:57,335
This is last year's Tanabata decorations.

138
00:10:00,139 --> 00:10:02,574
I wanted to show it to you
when you had time, but

139
00:10:02,575 --> 00:10:06,278
I never could find
the right time.

140
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:10,081
Is that right? I'm sorry.

141
00:10:12,218 --> 00:10:14,719
Chiyo really did a good
job in making that.

142
00:10:18,291 --> 00:10:23,461
I remember this... She really
did do a good job of making this.

143
00:10:23,496 --> 00:10:26,831
This year, she did an even
better job of making it.

144
00:10:41,347 --> 00:10:46,318
I pray that I can spend lots
of time playing with Mom.

145
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,076
I'm sorry, Chiyo.

146
00:12:03,529 --> 00:12:05,930
Asa cried.

147
00:12:38,364 --> 00:12:42,033
Lately, I've been thinking
that Shinjiro isn't just a

148
00:12:42,034 --> 00:12:45,470
man who watches
over his wife...

149
00:12:45,471 --> 00:12:50,141
That he's a man who can
do something bigger...

150
00:12:50,142 --> 00:12:53,745
No... He's a man who
just watches over her.

151
00:12:55,147 --> 00:12:59,684
I think that's what
Shinjiro would say.

152
00:13:01,087 --> 00:13:05,690
He hates to be thought
of that way...

153
00:13:06,725 --> 00:13:08,026
I see...

154
00:13:09,895 --> 00:13:14,399
But... I've always thought that...

155
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,404
It's not only because he's nice
that he charms people.

156
00:13:22,074 --> 00:13:23,341
I see...

157
00:13:24,276 --> 00:13:25,510
I'll talk to you later.

158
00:13:31,150 --> 00:13:32,684
Mr. Godai! Are you okay?

159
00:13:33,686 --> 00:13:34,919
Not so loud...

160
00:13:39,291 --> 00:13:40,458
I'm okay...

161
00:13:42,561 --> 00:13:43,595
But...

162
00:13:45,064 --> 00:13:46,164
Don't tell me...?

163
00:13:46,165 --> 00:13:49,334
Please... keep this a secret.

164
00:13:58,677 --> 00:14:01,513
Get a little closer...

165
00:14:03,315 --> 00:14:05,550
It's so exciting to
take a picture.

166
00:14:05,551 --> 00:14:09,287
Is it true that I can't move?

167
00:14:09,989 --> 00:14:15,193
Don't move... Don't move until
the photographer says it's okay.

168
00:14:16,061 --> 00:14:17,562
I don't have confidence.

169
00:14:19,532 --> 00:14:21,332
I'm going to take it now.

170
00:14:22,134 --> 00:14:23,868
Chiyo... Smile!

171
00:14:26,238 --> 00:14:27,906
Ready?

172
00:14:29,575 --> 00:14:30,608
Already?

173
00:14:30,609 --> 00:14:31,709
Don't move!
