希望に燃える 恋の歌 Kiboueru ni moeru koi no uta In a burning with hope, song of love

Now, at last, it's the morning of the harvest.

Harvesting the rice for the Yatabe family is an all manual labor job.

Since harvesting with just the family alone they would be shorthanded, they get some help.

Here.

That's right, that's right. You did it!

In order to cut the rice efficiently...

...they work by stooping over and not lowering down at the waist.

Cutting in such muddy fields is truly tough work, isn't it?

Grabbing the roots of the rice stalks with your left hand...

...you cut it by drawing a sickle across them.

You then bundle the rice you've cut with some straw you've kept hanging from your waist...

This is called an "odagi" and is used to let the rice dry in the sun.

Chiyoko.

Do this... Just like that. Got it?

Got it.

Yeah.

Do that.

Yeah.

By hanging them upside-down like this, the nutrients in the rice will gather in the ears...

...and the rice will turn out delicious.

Your daughter Tokiko-chan will be working at a transistor factory?

I haven't agreed to her doing that yet.

Even if you don't agree to it, I'm still going.

What was that?!

Ah, sorry, sorry! I said something I shouldn't have.

Today we're having a truce. Okay?

All right.

You never change, do you?

That's part of my charm, isn't it?

There isn't any need for me to change.

Right, Dear?!

Eh? You're right!

Here, Mitsuo!

Got it.

Oi, Mitsuo!

Got it!

Here Mitsuo, another one!

Hey, wait!

I ain't no fool!

Figured me out, huh?

Don't work your mouth, work your hands. Your hands!

Sorry Pop, but I can work both my mouth...

...and my hands at the same time.

How's it been going with you, Shoji-san?

Thankfully I've been getting by somehow.

Really?

But I never know when something will happen.

Right?

Sorry for not being able to come help you out, but always just going away.

What are you saying? So, how is Tokyo?

Dunno... I wonder...

It feels like every time I go there, the number of people has increased.

It's increasing by so much that you can't even get a place to sleep?

And that's why the buildings keep steadily growing taller.

The one I worked at not long ago was 17 stories tall!

17 stories!

Yeah. 17 stories is really tall.

Seems there's buildings 100 stories tall in America's New York.

100?!

100!

Oi! What's happened to Susumu?

Just a little while ago he was right over... Huh?

Oh, Miyoko!

Huh?

Where's Susumu?

Susumu?

Susumu!

Look! He's over there!

Ah, my, he looks comfortable there.

How nice! He's at peace, ain't he?

He's part of the unspoiled landscape of Japan!

This is so delicious, isn't it Mom?

Look, these are called "Pork cutlet sandwiches."

Eh... Western foods are good, aren't they?

Well, if you went to Tokyo, you'd eat this every day?

That again...

That's right. I'd eat it every day.

Ah, I wanna go, I wanna go!

Hey, we're in a truce, a truce.

That's right.

Ah! Then please excuse me...

...very much!

...very much!

Oi, Susumu. You hurry and eat up, too.

Okay.

Yeah.

I see.

Eh?

Mitsuo, you've fallen for Tokiko?

What are you saying? And right in front of Tokiko's Dad.

Huh? That's fine, ain't it? Just ask 'em.

Ask him what?

"Please let me marry your daughter!"

Eh?!

Right now you and Shoji-san are comrades who've worked for the sweat of your brows.

You and him feel close, don't you?

If ya don't ask him now, when then? Go on!

Eh...?

Go on!

Um...

I refuse!

Eh?

Then please excuse me...

...very much!

...very much!

That's too bad, ain't it?

No...

Mitsuo... You'll be with a rice dealer shop in Nihonbashi, right?

Yes, that's right...

I'll ask you to get good deals with our Ibaraki rice.

Eh?

Ah... Ah, that's right! I'll be selling rice!

Idiot.

Oi, Susumu, watch out!

We can put about four more in, right?

Right? We should.

Here.

Thank you.

I can't get my foot out!

Are you okay?

Ah... got it out.

We're harvesting quickly, aren't we?

It's great we're moving so fast, isn't it?

Here Susumu, hold that part.

Here we go. One, two...

More secretly than the stars

Hoshi yori hisoka ni

More gentle than the rain

Ame yori yasashiku

I can hear the voice of that girl

Ano ko wa itsumo utatteru

Who is always singing

Koe ga kikoeru

Women singing is so great. It's so great.

Virgins singing feels like happiness, don't it?

Virgins?

Ah... Virgins and ex-virgins?

What was that, Muneo?!

I'm sorry!

Kimiko-san is scary.

My wife is far scarier though.

So you say.

Both the plants in the garden and the chirping insects

Niwa no chigusa mo mushi no ne mo

Wither and die in their own ways

Karete samishiku nari nikeri

Ah, white chrysanthemum

Ah shiragiku

Like father, like son, huh?

Hey, you two there!

What are you looking at?!

What is it?

Don't wolf your food like that! You're so hopeless... Are you okay?

Oi, oi!

How can you call yourself a farmer and still not be able to do this?!

Hey, look what you've found! A demon!

If you don't run, he'll eat you! Not that way, hey!

Here, here, here! Look this way! This way!

Don't, it's embarrassing! It's too embarrassing!

Okay, say cheese!

Dad... why do the happy times...

...always pass by in no time at all?

I thought, "I wouldn't mind if this time never ended."

When I thought how once this work was over, then tomorrow...

...you'd go back to Tokyo again...

...I didn't want to make my hands work so quickly.

Thank you. Muneo-san, thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Be careful getting back, okay?

Brother.

Huh?

Be careful about your health when you go to Tokyo. See you again! Bye!

Be careful! So long!

I'm going on ahead, going ahead.

See you again!

It's beautiful.

Sorry I can't be here to do the threshing with you.

Don't worry about it. Since the rest of us can do that.

Yeah.

Really?

I'll be counting on you, Mineko.

Yeah. All right.

You guys, too.

Right? We'll work hard.

Yeah.

I'm sure it'll be great rice.

Yes.

Okay! Let's tidy up then eat!

Yes!

Father-in-law, are you okay?

My back is acting up.

Everyone of the Yatabe family!

Thank you for all your hard work on this year's harvesting!

Thank you for all your hard work!

You worked hard!
