All language subtitles for Hanas Miso Soup (2015) BR Eng

In a person's life
The sound of the bell rings three times.

The first was when we were born.

Next, when we die.

And next on the day of the wedding.

Marriage is an important event in their lives.
As well as the birth or death.

But on this day We came very late.

To be honest, it is the fault of this stupid man.

My husband is this stupid man
His full name is Yasutake Shingo.

Now we have to leave home.
But he was still watching TV.

It became this.

Then this happened ...

Uh oh, I forgot the ring

I am so gonna choke him.

Yasutake Shingo is a journalist.

Are You going to wear that?

He is also a mean guy.

Finally.

This time I am going to speak fluent English.

Yes!

He is the kind who buys but only to put it away.

Still, I choose him.

I even break up with my previous boyfriend.
I've had a crush on that guy, even though we are far apart.

But in the end I chose this guy.

I first met Chie in 1998.

I was 34 years old she is 23.

That time, I was stationed outside the office.

One year and four months later, Chie's, which at that time.
a graduate student from a vocal academy

has come to the office where I worked.

Excuse me.

Yes...

I have come for the interview You asked

about the concert
From the choir group.

You're the one who called?

Yes.

Alright...

Have a drink.

Please write your name, address, contact number
on the form.

Ok.

Since I was a representative from the college,
Should I write their address instead?

No need.

Just put Yours.

Your address is good enough.

Ok.

With a smart plan from me,
I was able to get Chie's address.

Then I drove her back by telling her that
I'm also heading the same way to her college.

Inside my head that time, it was filled with thoughts of Chie

I began launching my attacks on her next.

Congratulations on the new job.

If we get married,
We're going to have a son and a daughter, right?

If we were married...

From there, our relationship starts.

One day,
as I touched her body while we were...

I can feel something here.

What is it?

I found some lumps in her breast.

It's malignant

I have to cut off my entire left breast.

Sorry...

And then the woman I love
became a cancer patient.

Hana-chan's Miso Soup.

Shiho, I'm already here.

Ok.

She refused to do it just before the surgery.

Doesn't matter what her parent and her sister said,
she did not want to listen.

Why this happened suddenly?

She saw a woman in the bathroom
getting bald after chemotherapy.

- Just where have You been?
- I was in a wrong room.

Hello.

Chie, Shingo has came.

- Can we both talk privately?
- Yes.

Why we are the one who have to go out?

Let them talk. They need some privacy

I thought You were crying

I am not.

When You get discharged,
let's go to Canada.

If You want, we can go see the Rocky Mountains there.

From there, we can see everything become tiny.

But before that, we have to get married first

I will pray that the doctors won't do any mistake!

She has waked up.

Sorry.

Dad, Chie is calling for You.

Dad,

Can You rub Your cheeck against mine?

What are You thinking Chie.

Stop being childish.

From here, I'll let the surgeon
to explain the treatment plan.

Thank You.

This kind of cancer is the most serious type of cancer
It can recurr back again.

Because of this reason, most doctors would recommend for chemotherapy.

But the side effects from these chemotherapy can be very serious.

Her ovaries will stop working.

There are several cases,
which the patient stops from having menstruation.

That means You can not have children in the future

I have a request...

Please let me marry Chie!

I'm sorry.

It's okay

I'm really sorry.

It's okay

I have some tissue.

Nevermind.

Don't worry.

Ok.

Please sit down.

Chie...

in her state

cannot have children

I don't care.

Her sister Shiho is one year older than her.

Chie went to a boarding school since she was little.

Going alone
Leaving his sister as well.

She later graduated and get employed.

In the end.. it's time for her
to walk on her own path again.

Chie's future

nobody can predict it.

The illness can take everything away from her

I have suffered from a connective tissue disorder.

Illness, it destroys hope

I know it too well.

Do you still really want to marry Chie?

Yes.

Really?

With Chie?

I will marry her

I'm serious.

Thank you very much.

Me too, thank you very much!

Chemotherapy is a lot worst than I thought

I felt sick all the time

I have to survive.

No more. I'd rather die

I will not give up

I don't want anymore

I will live, live and keep on living

I was in a real mess.

What? Come again?

You've got to be kidding me.

What do You mean she cannot have children?

Actually

it is because of the treatment
that made her menstruation stops

you ...

That's not what I asked.

Why do You want to marry a woman who cannot have a child?

Go say something to Your son.

You ...

Remember when You broke up
with Your last girlfriend?

Because she said she does not want to have any children.

She said she wanted to study first
She even used Your money for that.

After she graduated, she began to work.

She still says she doesn't want to have children

I was the one who told her to chase her dream.

- It's not my fault we broke up.
- No.

It is becuase she said she doesn't want to have children.

Haven't You forgotten?

I don't know what to do

I love Chie.

If that's the case, I'll never have any grandchildren

I beg You
I want You guys to meet her parents.

She is all I have.

She is all I have

I beg You.

Oi.

She must have been a very nice person right.

Chie.

Yes?

Congratulations on completing Your first stage of chemotherapy.

Thank you very much.

- We have something for you.
- Yes?

- Come in.
- I'm coming in.

This is for You.

What is this?

It is a cap made from towel.

We give it as a gift
to every patients that went for the treatment.

Thank You so much.

So warm.

There are a lot of things happened

but finally,
I could hear the bells ringing on my wedding

I'm really lucky

to be able to meet and married him.

- I'm very very lucky.
- Shingo is an awkward and a silly guy.

That last part is a correct one.

Yeah, thanks for saying the obvious.

Thank You.

That really went well than expected, eh.

Why shouldn't it?

It's Ok. I have quit.

You broke up with Your last girlfriend because she did not want to have children right?

I immediately know from the start,

You got married without thinking much.

- Are You talking behind my back again?
- No

I wanna go take a leak.

What are You doing?

This belongs to my friend Yoichi, nof mine.

He asked me to hold his cigarette.

But You are about to smoke it right?

I'm sorry.

- I don't smoke, I swear.
- Oi.

Why are You both out here?

This is Your event
Don't You wanna do anything?

You guys should have some fun as well.

One year later, an unbelievable thing happened.

Hello Shingo.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!

I haven't went to the hospital yet,

so it is still not confirmed, but...

Okay, calm down, calm down

understood.

You just wait there until I get home.

Just wait until I get home

I can't wait.

At time like these
I usually went to Yufuko sensei, my singing teacher.

Yes!

You're just looking as good as ever!

I felt better because of the music
I listen to Your songs through out the operation.

You said like so.

Because You're the only one who said things like this.

How can I help You today?

You have some problems with Your mother-in-law too?

No, it's not like that.

Just tell us, we'll be listening.

Yuki! You are already back in Japan?

Yes I am.

Pregnant?

I am still not 100% sure

I thought Your condition would not have allowed it.

We went to Canada that time

so I haven't went for the treatment in a while.

We are surrounded by nature.

The stars in the sky looks very beautiful.

Maybe we got a little bit too excited that time.

So You never thought that You'll get pregnant that night huh?

Hey, watch Your mouth.

So what's the problem?

Is it about what Shingo did?

Come on mum.

Fine fine.

Chie, I think that You've already decided.

You just wanted to find someone who agrees with You right?

Don't tell our parents yet okay?

I don't want them to worry over nothing

I'm home.

Sorry Shiho. I have to hang up.

Is this really our children inside here?

Don't tell me You are excited about this?

- Of course I am excited.
- Don't.

We have to get it confirm first right?

You know what.

If I decided to keep this baby.

My hormone levels are going to be higher.

In other words,

This pregnancy will cause me a great risk
The cancer can come back.

Understood?

I am not having this child

I already called my mom

I've told her that You are pregnant.

Sorry.

Your mom already knew.

She screamed and cried, she was very delighted

I wanted her to have grandchildren. But I can't.

- So You want the cancer to come back?
- No no no.

You are wrong.

No way.

Anyhow, lets just go to the hospital later.

This baby is very energetic.

It seems that this baby is looking forward to see me.

The baby's heart is beating here.

Wow, awesome.

Looks great right?

You really are an amazing baby.

Baby~.

Baby~~.

Baby~~~.

Wanna go eat before we go home?

Yes, it's me.

You are pregnant right?

Have You thought what to do next?

I would not have this baby.

Keep the baby.

Eh? But then...

You can die? So what ...

Just risk Your life to make a life.

Risk a life to make a life.

This is not a game

however...

just however...

The cancer may or may not come back.

There are several women who are just like you
Dreaming of having a baby.

You should keep the baby.

If You have the child,
You can become hope to other cancer patients

I've decided to keep this baby.

"I'll keep this baby."

Your tummy gets in the way huh?

But it's good isn't it?

I want this child to be able to hear the music.

Again, very good!

Very well done.

We named our daughter, Hana.

Hana means flower
So we want her to beloved by everyone just like a flower.

Please wait here for a while.

The rain has not yet stopped falling again.

Yufuko sensei send her regards
Hana chan just came out from the hospital eh?

Yup.

When Yuki is going to be in Milan later,
I'll make sure that I send a lot of Hana's photo to You.

Hana-chan.

You've come into this wonderful world.

You are going to enjoy Your life in this world.

It must felt good. To have Your very own concert.

Next time, lets sing together again.

If I haven't found Shingo in my life,
Surely my life would not be as it is right now

I won't gonna find myself a husband.

Just have to live with cancer.

Being unable to get married

I would not have any children.

Yeah, you're right

I teach Hana singing as well

9 months have passed since Hana was born

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Hana~~ I'm home~~.

Starting today, I'm going to reduce deep fried food in our meal.

Why's that?

Hana suddenly refused to be breastfed.

Probably because I ate too much of greasy food.

And maybe it affects my milk.

Really?

You know,

- What?
- Maybe we should go to the hospital.

Hana might have sensed something.

Let's just go later.

Because You have been breastfed her all this time,

You haven't went for the checkup quite a while

I understand.

If it's nothing, then we don't have to worry

I said I understand.

If it's nothing, then we don't have to worry.

If it's nothing...

Morning.

Good morning.

"It's back."

Morimoto!

Diabetes!

You once told to me that You knew about a miracle doctor
Who can cure diseases like Diabetes and others.

Is that miracle kind of doctor really exist?

Please introduce me to that doctor.

Please be quiet!

Why should I?

That miracle doctor can cure all diseases
But he doesn't like people to know about him much.

Do not talk about him in the public.

Please

I've asked from Morimoto
To help me find this miracle doctor

I would try every possible way to cure Chie.

No matter how.

As long as there is a cure.

That's our intent.

- Where are we?
- I don't know.

Does he really lives in a place like this?

I don't know.

- Are You really sure it's here?
- I don't know.

You must be Mr Yasutake.

Morimoto already told me.

Come this way.

You must have come from a long way.

Please do Your best.

Chie, what is Your body temperature?

Body temperature.

Normally mine is about 35 degrees.

It's very low.

First of all, You need to increase Your body temperature.

It should be higher than 36 degrees.

Then only Your natural healing power
can be increased.

Okay.

First,
Change Your eating habits and lifestyle.

It's not hard.

Learn to eat more Japanese food
Like Miso soup, rice and others.

Before, You just eat what You feel like eating.

Now, You have to say goodbye to those habit
Make use of Your life so it won't go to waste.

Just eat Brown rice, and Miso soup?

Don't get me wrong.

The Brown Rice does not help with the cure.

You need to have a healthy body first
Then only Your body can increase the power to heal itself.

You have to eat good food and need a good mental health.

It will draw the strength from Your inner body.

Just back to the state when You were healthy.

Your illness
It may appear that the drug is in control.

But if You don't change Your lifestyle,
The illness will come back.

Please come over here.

- Come here for a while.
- Ok.

What is that actually?

It's nutrients.

Here.

From that day onwards
I would drive for two hours every morning

to go to Doctor Genju Ito's house.

Our new breakfast now
consists of Miso soup and brown rice

together with salted fish from Sanriku coast,

fermented vegetables, soy sauce and Natto.

It is truly an authentic Japanese breakfast.

As for Shingo...

Come, let's eat.

Let's eat

I like it.

At night, we sleep separately.

Since Hana often cried all night,

It is very tiring.

As for Shingo,

He volunteered to sleep with Hana
So that I can have a good night sleep

I feel sorry for him.

Thank You Shingo

*mumbles in sleep.

Welcome.

Oh

I'm not sure if You want this.

But I think You are going to need a lot of money

I'm sorry...

- Is it enough?
- Enough enough.

Just when I'm thinking of dying.

Suddenly money was coming for me.

Give me some warm water with some alcohol.

Ok, warm water with alcohol. Want some sweet potato as well?

- Can also.
- Alright.

Don't tell Your mom about this.

Thank You very much.

Yes?

Your father is there with You right?

Nope.

Don't lie to me.

That money he took is for his insurance payment.

You do know how expensive medical expenses is nowadays right

I know.

Can You really trust that doctor?

He is the only doctor
who told her to increase her body temperature.

What?

Is it true she can get better by that way?

This doctor already has many patients
whom he treat them for Diabetes, Hepatitis.

There are even some couples went to the doctor
to enhance their sexual performance.

One day You must bring me to that doctor as well.

You know that Your dad and I have...

Who's calling?

From work.

- You're really a one tough fellow mister.
- Really?

I'm coming in.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- Please sit here.
- Ah thank you.

From here on, I'll be the doctor in charge
I'm doctor Katagiri.

Last time You are with Doctor Kai right?
When You had surgery four years ago.

Yes.

The results of Your blood tests

indicates that hormone therapy is the most effective for You.

Is that so?

Type of treatments recommended varies according to the patient's symptoms.

As in right now,
It seems that You are more suitable to go for a hormone therapy.

And doctor's consultation is very important.

Therefore, I'll always be by Your side to help You make a decision.

From here on, let's do our best together.

It's late already. Shouldn't You go to sleep?

Yeah You're right

I should not watch TV until late.

The doctor has told You
to improve Your lifestyle now.

Alright.

Yes?

Understood

I'm going out for a while okay?

- Where are You going?
- I'll be back soon.

Sorry I'm late.

Here.

Yoichi, this is...

Your company is going to need
a lot of money this December.

But You need the money more than I do.

Thank You so much.

We continue going to the miracle doctor for about one year.

- Because of that treatment, we've exhausted all of our money.
- Thank you so much.

Thank You so much.

It's gone.

No way.

Your work hard seems to paid off.

Thank You very much.

Even so, we would like to remind You
that You still need to get checked periodically.

You'll need to come for appointments with me.

So that we can keep track on Your illness.

Ok.

Now, the cancer has gone.

Hello.

We just returned home from Omura, Nagasaki.

- I've brought You some Omura Sushi.
- Thank You.

Hana-chan.

- Hana-chan.
- Thank You.

Did You cook all these foods Chie?

Yup.

Please have a seat.

Can You open it?

Hana, let's eat.

We've changed our diet
to improve my physical condition.

That's right.

Is that so?

We also take special care
about Hana's nutrition as well.

That's right.

Can I have some more tea please?

Dad, why do You look so pale?

Just having a little cold.

Maybe it's time for us to go home.

On that night, I saw my dad is very happy.

He shook hands with Shingo
and gave Hana's a hug

I can saw a big smile on his face.

On the next day, my dad was sent to the hospital.

Later he passed away.

Then, the moon orbits to the east
And the sun orbits to the west.

Our life continues.

The days were peaceful everyday

and Hana has grown healthily.

There's a fax coming in.

"Hello, how are You doing?"

"I take it that everything is well."

"Just wondering if You wanna come for a checkup?"

"I'll be glad to see You at the hospital"
'From Doctor Katagiri'

Who's that from?

Nothing. Just some advertisement.

What are You doing there honey?

- Do You know what that is?
- Don't know. Is it a wooden stick?

This is a 'Katsuobushi'
(A dried, fermented smoked Tuna)

This is used to be a fish.

But now, it doesn't look like a fish at all right?

Watch this.

After that...

It will become like this.

You don't get it yet?

You ate it.

Can You see how it made Miso soup to become delicious?

How was it? Delicious?

Okay, can Papa eat now?

Let's eat.

Alright, now turn this side.

Mama, why have they cut off Your breast?

Does it hurt? I'll buy You a new one.

"Mama, thank You for everything."

- Thank You.
- Bye-bye.

Good afternoon.

Hana's father is here.

- Mr Yasutake. Can I talk with You for a minute?
- Sure.

- From what I know, Hana's mother is not working right now, right?
- Yup.

You know,

As You can see,

This nurseries are intended for families
who has no time to take care of their own children.

Okay.

In Hana's case, we took her in
because her mother had to undergo cancer treatment.

Now that she is cured from cancer,
it may be hard to let Hana join here again next year.

Okay.

If You still want us to take care of her,

We are going to need a letter from the doctor to confirm the symptoms
And a report from the hospital too

I understand.

- Sorry if it's a bother.
- No it's okay.

Thank you very much.

We need to have the report from the hospital
We need to go to the hospital. - Wait for me.

- Otherwise it will be hard for us to send Hana to the nursery.
- Wait for me.

Alright.

Anyhow, we need to go there.

Ok.

What is her problem?
Why she doesn't wanna go to the hospital?

And now, it's the year 2007.

"Cancer has spread throughout my body."

The cancer has spread throughout her body.

We found out about it a year ago.

She has to be admitted for chemotherapy
which she always hates

I've read it. It's very interesting

I have never let anyone read it yet.

Don't need to shy about Your secret work.
I always saw You write it during the lunch break.

Even Your wife has start to write a blog.

My wife has a blog?

Eh? You don't know?

"Early sleep. Early morning wake up.
Brown rice."

It's very popular now.

"Early sleep. Early morning wake up. Brown rice
Cancer and daughter. The Recipe of Life."

Our daughter has turned 4 today.

From now on, she will support our lifestyle
Going to bed early, wake up early, eating brown rice.

We will celebrate
our daughter's birthday today.

Yes?

The blog?
Yup. I started it at the end of last year

I can't go out today.
I wanna make preparations for the celebration.

Can You pick up Hana from the nursery?

Okay.

- Good afternoon.
- Ah, good afternoon.

Hana, Your Papa is here

- Papa!
- Hi! Let's get Your shoes.

You know, today I made a poop out of clay.

Your poop can came out naturally
You don't have to create a model of it.

Today Hana touch a dead insect
But Hakuma-kun was very scared of it.

What kind of insects?

You know, today I drink and eat some eggs with my friend Shou.

Answer my question first before You change the topic.

You know, today Hana saw my teacher's underwear.

No way.

- What colour is it?
- Blue.

Blue?

Sorry to keep You waiting

Want me to clip it?

Ok...

Please listen to Mama's song while You wait.

Alright. I'll listen.

Wow, amazing.

Is Hana good at cooking?

Yes You are.

Last but not least, I'm going to put the secret ingredient.

Now it's not so secret anymore.

You know, I also have put another secret ingredient.

Can You guess what it is?

In here?

Let's eat.

Hmm.. I wonder what it is.

You can't tell?

You put some extra soy sauce?

Wrong.

Do You want me to tell You the secret ingredient?

Tell me

Wow. It really is a secret ingredient.

You should be going back to Your bed

This feels really good right.

Everything feels normal.

Alright.

Don't worry. I'll do the cooking.

Hana.

Listen, Hana.

We must not throw away
the end of the vegetables.

We must eat all of it.

Even this one?

Yes. Even the end and the root of mushrooms.

Alright.

There's a lot of nutrients in these vegetables.

With vegetables, the soup will be very delicious
and it will have a very high nutritional value.

- Hana, can You pluck some vegetables for me?
- Alright

I'm sorry vegetables for plucking You.

Alright.

It's finished.

Now, let's go for a walk.

Let's go!

We can see where Papa is working from here right?

You can see it?

Hello.

Yuki, it's been a while.

You 're going back to Japan?

For a concert?

Me?

No, no. I can't

I can't do it.

In the concert.

Sorry, I can't do it

I'm sorry.

Yes.

What is it Mama?

Auntie Yuki asked me to sing
together with her.

Mama is going to sing? Hooray!

No, no. I cannot sing.

This is not like Karaoke.

But why?
I'd love to hear Mama sing.

You know,

Mama's voice is not good now. That's why I cannot sing.

If Mama can sing again,
Mama will sing for You a lot of songs.

You will?

- Sure.
- Promise?

"Pinky promise, if I lie,
I will drink 1000 needles, and cut my pinky."

Promise.

Papa, Mama is going to sing at the concert.

Really?

No way.

Mama told me if she can sing, she would sing for me.

If Your mother want to sing.

She has promised me

I'm back.

Why do You turn off the lights? It's dark.

You surprised me.

Hana, sorry sorry.

Dinner's ready?

Sorry. I'm going to make it now.

Hana wants to help!

Alright.

Nice to meet You
I'm the mother of Hosoka Naoko

I would like to thank You
for the present You sent to my daughter.

My daughter has went to Heaven last Tuesday
She passed away peacefully and beautifully.

The snack that You sent
I placed it in my daughter's coffin.

So that my daughter
can bring it together to Heaven.

Mama, what are You staring at?

Hana wants to see to.

Mama, mama.

What are You looking at?

- Hana, can You get me some vegetables from the fridge?
- Ok

I wonder if I can reach it.

Thank You for coming Shiho.

When I called her previously, she sounds like she was stressed.

When You called her, I was at work.

It's ok. She usually calls me all the time.

Tomorrow I have to be outstation and not be here in Fukuoka
Can You help me please?

Em
You want me to pick up Hana from nursery is it?

Yeah, sorry.

Right now, I'm also watching out for cancer as well.

You should have a check too.
I heard it can run in family.

Have a check?
To know whether I have it or not?

You guys,

- Yeah?
- What is it?

Just now, all You talk about is cancer and cancer.

It makes me stress hearing that.

Ah, sorry.

The word cancer, it sounds bad.

Like, 'You are the cancer of this company'

It makes You feel discriminated.

Can we use other word for it?

Calling it 'Pon' would be cuter.

From now on, let's called it as Pon.

Pon?

Shiho, You should be careful about Breast Pon

I also have a chance of Breast Pon right?

Of course.

Breast Pon.

Cervical Pon.

Lung Pon.

It's so funny

I felt better already.

Please continue some more.

Auntie Shiho is back
Can You open the door for her?

Ok

I went shopping, so I have a bought a lot of stuff.

Thank You.

Do You want to eat outside?

I want to eat here

I want Hana to eat home cooked foods.

It's not the same as before.

Yeah, we should have a good time together.

Hana.

Tadaa.

Here's a present from Auntie Shiho

I know You must've liked it.

Read from here, the first page.

It starts from here.

Hana, can You prepare the Miso soup?

Sports Day during the fall.

Very good.

Hana, can You please prepare the Miso soup?

I don't want. Right now Hana wants to read.

But haven't You promise me to make the Miso soup?

You can do it Yourself Mama.

Hana, don't You remember Your promise?

There are fireworks in the morning.

Today is Sports Day.

No!

Hana.

Why do You keep on forcing Your child?

- This is none of Your business Chiho.
- Stop it. I will not let her do Your errands.

This is not Your child.

You shouldn't use children as a tool.

Don't You interfere with our family's business.

Hana.

You've made a promise to Mama remember.

Hana will make the Miso soup.

If Mama passed away,

If Hana's going to be sick or anything,

Mama and Papa will be very worried.

Therefore.

You need to eat well.

You need to eat well so You can live well.

Do not play
When it is time to eat or when it is time to cook.

Soon, Mama is not going to be there for You.

So...

I want You to always smile,

I want You to always be strong.

Can You be that kind of kid?

For a start,

You must make Miso soup

and then...

I will teach You to make many other foods.

Understand?

I will make the Miso soup.

Em.

Okay

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Please have a sit here.

How do You feel right now?

I feel much better.

But the pain won't allow me to carry my daughter anymore

I can't carry her on my back any longer.

Is that so?

But after that, she has stopped asking me to carry her

I've read Your blog.

Really?

It's very amusing.

Then can You tell me a funny story about cancer?

I can use it as a material
to put inside my blog.

Funny story?

About cancer?

The rain has stopped eh?

You okay?

The doctor said she wants to give me a break
from the treatment for a while.

My cancer now has spread thorughout my body.

But I'm glad that I went for the treatment.

He's such a strong guy, our dad.

Our dad?

Yup. He once told me that
I must risk my life to make a life.

We both remember that he was sick all the time.

Yet he keeps on living...

I guess that is what gives me the strength to live on as well.

Now only I realized that.

Why do You speak like an old man
It's not that You've never been sick before.

While I was on chemotherapy,
I always thought I was going to die.

But I can always get through it.

Because I thought of Hana

I was very surprised it worked.

Recently I heard someone asked You to sing.

My senior asked me to sing with her in the concert.

But I told her it is impossible.

You should sing.

You have devoted all Your teenage life
in perfecting your singing

I cannot sing well anymore.

If I'm not married and don't have Hana

I would've probably continue my singing.

Stand up

I wonder if Hana remembers the song
that I used to sing for her.

Mama!

I can hear Mama's voice.

What voice?

I can hear Mama's singing.

It's very unlikely that You can hear her sing.

Mama!

When the rain stops.. My mind clears.

May this voice.. reach towards Hana.

Mama?

Hana, she was born
with love and hope.

Your light shines glittery bright.

That it reaches the end of the star.

Our destiny is always changing.

So let the flowers bloom for now.

Blooms in Your heart, my dear Hana.

Sorry.

Wow, what a thrilling sight

Mama.

Look at her.

She's look beautiful in the dress I picked right?

Em.

- What do You think?
- Mama looks like a princess.

- Really?
- Em.

What do You have for me here?

Mama, I want You to eat my Miso soup.

Just like the one that You always make for me.

Hana made it?

It's delicious.

Do You feel better now?

Yes I do.

What are You wearing?

You look like a pickled garlic.

It is so not like You.

Sorry if this didn't suit me.

It suits You.

You know the audience only come to see Yuki right?

She is the spotlight of the show tonight.

She's very cool right?

You came down here just to say this?

No one is expecting You.

People came here to see Yuki's show.

So just sing as usual, okay?

Today is Hana's birthday.

So You don't have to worry about people watching You.

As long as Hana is able to hear your singing,
it is enough.

Alright

I'll try to relax

I think I'm just lucky.

Being able to live a happy life,
eventhough I only have 70% of it.

If You think of it,
My life, it was considered good, eh.

Shingo.

Ah, Yoichi.

How's Chie?

The cancer has spread all throughout her body already.

- Please forgive me.
- What?

Previously I told You that You got married without thinking.

Forget about that.

What are You doing?

I'm relying on You.

Yoichi.

Thank You so much.

Hana is waiting for You.

- Sorry.
- What are You doing?

No, no. I don't smoke.

Papa You need to hurry
You have to take a lot of Mama's photos.

Alright, alright. Let's go.

- Mr Yasutake.
- Oh hi doctor.

- I'm here.
- Thank You very much

I'm looking forwards to this concert.

She may not be able to sing well.

But I hope You can enjoy listening to her music

I'm so sorry

I should be trying harder to tell her
to go for treatment at the hospital.

It's none of Your fault.

You already told her
to get checked many times.

It was all my fault.

Chie's going to be very glad to see You came.

Let's go.

Now, we would like to introduce to You
our close friend from the college.

Ms Yasutake Chie.

Does anyone know, why today is a special day?

Do You want to know?
Actually, today is the birthday of Chie's daughter.

Everyone,

I am the mother who ask her child to eat brown rice.

But she also likes to eat pickled radish and pickled plum.

For snacks she eats grilled anchovy.

The nursery she went too is also an average one

I feel really sorry for my daughter all along.

Because of my illness,
I cannot carry her and play with her often.

But that girl can cook and fold clothes by herselves.

Even if I'm not there,
She was able to do it on her own.

Just now, she gave me the Miso soup that she made herself.

Eventhough I didn't ask her to make one.

She carried herself a flask botle
that seems very large to her small body and said to me,

Mama, I made this for You.

While I was drinking her Miso soup,

I realized.

Being able to see my daughter.

It makes me very happy.

Today, standing up on the stage here.

Hana,

I want You to remember this day.

Em.

Where's my husband?

Shingo,

Thank You.

The day I graduate,

is the day I can look back proudly.

Cherry blossom petals falls down on my head

showering me endlessly.

Someday You'll see Your dream

only when the leaves fall in the spring.

Although You feels happy, it is also kinda sad.

But her smile comforted me.

You are the star of hope

I am happy for You to choose me

I'm now part of Your life.

It's a miracle for You to be here.

And likewise, I'll be there for You forever.

The church bell chimes.

Today is a happy day under the beautiful blue sky.

What are You afraid of anymore.

When the world is willing to give anything for her.

When I became the brightest star in the sky

I will shine every night to relieve Your loneliness.

My light will reach You.

From the distance of 300 million light-years

I will be at Your side for eternity.

You are the star of hope

I am happy for You to choose me

I'm now part of Your life.

It's a miracle for You to be here.

Thank You so much for coming to me.

Do You want to put Mama's recipe book
inside her casket?

I want to keep it.

"I am lucky."

Put Your hands together and,

Let's eat.

Ouch. It's hot.

Blow it

I am lucky
