Good morning.

I know this is sudden, but let's take a little look back, shall we?

Doing that will be fine this week, too.

Grandpa, good morning!

1964/Showa 39 Ibaraki Prefecture, Ookuibaraki Village

Yatabe Mineko

In the northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, this is the little mountain valley village, Ookuibaraki Village.

Itadakimasu!

Itadakimasu!

Mineko's family consists of five farmers.

Shigeru (Grandpa)

Little Brother - Susumu

Little Sister - Chiyoko

Miyoko (Mom)

When is Dad coming back?

When it's time to harvest the rice. Very soon.

Ah... I'm home!

Welcome back!

Welcome home.

I'm back.

Minoru (Dad)

In order to do the harvesting, her Father Minoru comes back once a year.

Okay! Say cheese!

That fun time has passed by in the blink of an eye...

...and now her Father will be returning to Tokyo on the noon train.

It will be lonely for her, won't it?

Good morning...

Not even a single one today...

Well, there are days like this, aren't there?

Seems breakfast has become something of an anti-climax, doesn't it?

Last night

Got it? Tomorrow, when it's time for Dad to leave...

...we mustn't cry like a bunch of babies.

Since that would just make Dad sad.

Look, there's those words in that song from...

..."Unexpected Contradictions Island" that you like, right?

Unexpected Contradictions Island

Everyone!

" Unexpected Contradictions Island"...

...had just started broadcasting this year...

...and is a fantasy-style musical puppet theater show...

...including Don Gabacho and others...

...and is a story of laughter and adventure rich with characters...

...that children are just crazy over.

There'll be painful things, too

There'll be painful things, too

There'll be sad things, too

There'll be sad things, too

But we won't get discouraged

But we won't get discouraged

We don't want to cry, we will smile

We don't want to cry, we will smile

And move forward

And move forward

All right.

All right.

Look, I heard about this at school.

Yeah.

Look, um, do you know about the Olympic torch relay?

Yeah, that one?

A guy carries a torch and then runs around with it.

Yeah, that's it!

What about it?

They say it'll be going around Japan through all its Prefectures.

And through Ibaraki, too.

Where about's?

Yeah... Ah, but it's said...

Ookuibaraki

Shimotate

Mt. Tsubuka

Mito

...it'll pass through Ibaraki around Mt. Tsubuka.

So, far away.

They say it won't be passing close to Ookuibaraki.

I see, that far away, huh?

And like that, it'll be run around the country and then arrive in Tokyo.

That's incredible, isn't it?

Dad, I was only trying to break the silence...

...but it didn't go over very well.

Dad.

Ah.

Please do your best.

Yeah.

I'm off!

Yeah.

Mineko.

Huh?

What is that?!

I just wanted to!

Well, stop it!

Be careful, okay?

I will.

I'm going!

Have a nice time!

Yeah!

Okay...

Sukegawa Tokiko Her dream is to be an actress in the future

She's so late...

Dat's okay fer today. She has ta part from 'im, 'n all.

Ah...

I just spoke with a country accent...

Tokiko!

Huh?!

What's with 'er? She's bein' all cheerful.

That country accent again...

'Morning!

Oh... good morning.

Huh? Doesn't your Dad go back today?

Yeah.

Ah, I see...

C'mon, let's go.

Mineko, you're quite the adult, aren't you?

Ah? Are you off to school?

Dad, please do your best.

Please do your best.

What's with those expressions?

Hey you two... did your Onee-chan say something to you?

She did, didn't she?

She said not to cry...

...but to smile.

But that's hard to do.

Either cry or smile... pick one.

Even if you say that...

Which should we do?

I'll be back for New Year's.

Right? And New Year's will come in no time.

All right.

All right.

In the end, they picked crying.

You didn't have to come.

Father-in-law said to take you to the bus stop.

Really?

Yeah.

Huh?

What's this for?

No reason in particular.

In Tokyo...

...there are lots of women who are far more beautiful...

...than I am, aren't there?

But they have nothing to do with me.

You could have at least said, "there aren't any."

There aren't.

Too late.

The population of Japan has been steadily increasing...

...and will exceed 100 million people in the next few years.

From all of them, the population of Tokyo is 10 million people.

That is 5 times larger than the population of Ibaraki.

That's incredible, huh?

But Ibaraki is incredible, too.

Mitsuo...

I wonder if there's trains going to Tokyo right now?

Even right at this time...

Ahh...

Has found a job at a transistor radio factory in Mukojima

Sumitani Mitsuo Has found a job with a rice dealer shop in Nihonbashi

And Tokiko and Mitsuo will board one going that way, too, right?

It'll be lonely...

Don't worry; I'll always be here at your side, Mineko.

What are ya sayin'?

Whaa?!

Tagami-sensei

I'll always be right here for you, Mineko.

Ah... thanks fer that.

Don't give me, "thanks fer that."

Ah, and then, has anyone seen the movie "Himeyuri Tower"? (1953)

I have!

Oh... you've seen it?

Yes.

Kagawa Kyoko was in that, wasn't she?

The Olympic Torch

Is Heading Straight for Tokyo

Tokyo - Akasaka

Welcome. Would you like a seat for one?

Um, I'm not a customer.

Ah, the one from Ibaraki... Ookuibaraki.

Yes!

Owner of "Suzufuritei" - Makino Suzuko

Hide! That's wrong. That's for table 3.

Yes.

I'm sorry. Please wait just for a bit.

Is the hamburger for table 8 ready yet?

Yes! Coming right up!

Genji, the soup!

Yes sir!

Makino Shogo

Sorry for coming at such a busy time.

No, no.

While we're this busy... Ah, sit over here.

Ah, no, no. Um, I've just stopped by today...

...because I wanted you to eat this.

Some manju that my wife made.

(steamed yeast bun with filling)

My! Ah... you should have gone to the trouble...

No, no! Please give everyone a share...

Um, my family ate those pork cutlet sandwiches you gave me the other day.

My wife and children were really overjoyed with them...

...and kept saying, "so good, they're so good." Truly, thank you very much.

This is hardly anything in return, though.

Thank you very much.

Everyone! Look, this was given to us by that man from Ookuibaraki the other day, um...

Ah, I'm Yatabe.

This is a gift from Yatabe-san! Here, have some!

Thank you for the treat!

Thank you for the treat!

Outta the way. Thank you for going to all that trouble.

No, no. I'm sorry when it's so busy for you.

Then, I'll be going.

Ah, wait just a moment.

Since I'll return this box.

No, no, you're too busy for that.

Since I'll come back to get it, it'll be fine at that time.

Are you sure? Very well.

Please come again and take your time.

I will. Truly thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Um, please do your best at work.

Thank you very much.

He's a nice man, isn't he?

Right?

This is the lodging house for migrant workers where Minoru-san is staying.

What do ya do with da money ya've earned?

Ah, yes. As soon as I get it, I send it through the postal service.

Dat's da best way.

Why?

Huh? Seems dere's lots of pickpockets...

...who target men like us here in Ueno.

Eh?

If ya waits and holds onto da money ya've worked so hard fer until ya goes home...

...it will absolutely get stolen from ya.

Well, der are guys who've come back here crying dat dey can't go home again 'cause of dat.

But...

Why would they target us especially...

That's just too much.

We're weak. We're weak, so dey steal from us.

When ya gets yer salary and goes to da post office with it...

...ya'd best be careful, too.

Yes. Thank you very much.
