Thanks.

Look, Mr. Sonoda is there.

It was so quick! They are coming!

Who are they?

- Come here beauties
- Show us how good swimmers you are

- Who are they?
- They are hooligans.

Give it to me

It blown off

- What were you looking at?
- Now I can die...

- Woops, it is shrinking!
- You didn’t put the stopper correctly.

- You see it?
- I told you

Now, it’s all right.

Number 2, 3, 5 are fakes.

How much you bet?
next round of drink.

So you believe they can't swim?

Let show them. one, two, three

- I’m home.
- Hello.

Dad said he would be late tonight.

I can't believe he spend all his time
in Machiai

Aunt, Now we don’t call it Machiai.

It’s the same thing anyway.

Now, that you too are going out with
that girl you are becoming vulgar.

But we are friends since my school days

This soup should be warm, like miso?

You have no right to talk about
cooking. You have no experience.

What can I talk to you about?

I am not a good speaker...

Today, I went to an arranged meeting

How was the man.

He just came back from USA.

He is nice and handsome, and
he has a bright future ahead.

He is perfect then.

But he is boring.

What do you mean?

It's the feeling I had

Woman can dislike a guy just by
the way he eats a soup.

You scare me

I cannot eat anymore.

Beniko-san scored again

But at the end the man
will dump her

I don't understand why she
keeps trying

What’s wrong with that?
it's a free and peaceful world!

Don't you think so?

Yes, at least at Ginza, in Tokyo.
Everywhere, men and women are...

My poor heart feels so
cold after the bath.

don't worry. just take another
bath to fix that

We are sorry, but this table is reserved

Listen, could you come
with me later ?

Again? That guy in Otomo ?

I don’t know why you like him.

he is so special.

He is handsome, he has a nice body,
and he is a hard worker

and he has deli...deli...

Delicacy

When I think of him, I feel so happy.

All right.

If you pay for all of us,
We can come with you.

that's a good idea

Anyway, I'll have something now

I'll pay for you

I don't have much. 30 yens
for each of us

30 yen?

then we can only have Milk
or soft drinks!

Thank you very much.

tell me, is he
the right one this time.

He is so nice

he will get divorce
from his wife before autumn.

What is he doing?

He runs a handbag shop
in Yokoyama-cho and he is so nice.

You always say “He is nice”, but
you trust the guys too easily.

This and this

Put it there

To look nice, color is very important

This one is a bit less vivid

Mr. Takiguchi, you did it by yourself?

- Yes and this one, too.
- it’s so nice.

It would look very good on you
miss Akemi.

Color and pattern are so nice,
but the price is not so nice,

This one would fit miss Mari

It suits you very well

No, it looks too much Rockabilly.

Mr Takiguchi. You haven't
shown me anything yet...

You shouldn't be angry

Well...your taste is difficult.

I understand.

Please choose something for her.

She will take anything you recommend.

Don't say that.

- Let's go
- Now is time to go to work.

We'll come back when
we have more time.

Don't be so hurry...

just 10 more minutes

I paid for you today. And it’s not polite
to leave without buying anything.

It’s all right..

But... it’s not nice.

Even if you order something,
he will have to make you credit.

Today is my payday. I can buy by cash

Mr. Takiguchi, show me something.

Yes, thank you very much.

Hello. This is Shichifuku

Ah, Ichihana.

Chiharu-san... perfume and soap

What about your brother and his study?

He wants to go to school,
but he works at night

Then he goes to the market in
Yokohama in the morning.

But, it's better if he finish high school

He is so nice, your brother.

Do you think so?

and then for Kintaro.

A dress from Paris and
cashmere powder

then it's 2830 yen

I give you a discount...2800 yen...

Only 30 yen?

- Make a little effort
- No

I just made a little compliment
on your brother.

Komachi is...Colgate,
Teeth brush and..

you owe 380 yen.

- 300 is all right ?
- No way

It's not nice, isn't it?

- Yumi-chan, Can you help me?
- Yes

Hello

- I brought you the salaries.
- Thank you.

Kintaro, you pay
me back today, right?

I can not. Last month, I paid for my
parents’ house because of the tsunami

This month, I spent too much.
Please wait a little more...

Well...tsunami...

You seemed to be very
busy at Fugetsu

Yes, we say you...

You wanted to show your guy right?

No, it was not so.

If you wants us to keep secrets,
give us another story

We remember that
we saw the “truth.

All right. I give you a discount.

Well...Beniko is...

All right. I give you a discount.

- That is very good
- But I want you to pay me

Kintaro, you owed a lot.
What will you do?

I have to pay 20 000 yens

And what about me?

The car is outside

- Ruiko. You go at Fujimura at 7h00.
- Yes

- Then, I'm going
- Bye, now.

The dog is more important
for her than her job.

Certainly, you could sell a puppy
for 20 000 yens.

- I’ll start selling dogs
- We are not in a pet shop

- Good evening. Sorry for being late
- Ichihana

Go to the moon salon
it's M. Nakamura's party

Thanks.

Ita, the client made
a compliment on your dishes.

to cook is what I am here for.
If they like it, it’s enough for me.

But, they gave you some tips.
You should go to say Thank you.

I don’t understand you...
Think about me and my situation

This way, please

Now time has changed. Now, young
girls dances geisha's dance.

You mean, young women
cannot dance?

for that they should
become geisha

This one?

This one is the Showa foundry
they asked to pay in three installments

Showa foundry?

Their accountant just look
like a street seller

- Thank you very much
- not at all

What did he say?

He said you are pretty

Here is your salary

- Thank you very much
- Thanks to you

Would you like to take
a break for a few days?

There is a golf tournament in Nasu.
What do you think?

It's not possible

- Why not?
- because!

Everybody thinks there is
something between us

It's a pity they are mistaking

I’m too old and with
a daughter like Miyako

It's better to have a steady job
and a salary

Are you going to quit?
You are not so old

But my time has gone

It's not by splitting up that
you'll make more money

even, if I don't think
this is the issue

Thank so much for your consideration

Please, think over it again

I don’t want to marry again.
It’s so troublesome at our ages.

I'm old enough to stay away
from useless problems

You can find a younger
and nicer woman

- Do you despise me so much?
- Not at all

You and your daughter,
you both dislike men.

My nephew was also
dumped by Miyako

Well...

Company...halt

Company... salute

You are so excited.
Where are you coming from?

We were with guys
from Defense Agency

To discuss the budget.

What are you discussing here?

Which topic do you want?

something very quiet

He has a peace symbol on the jacket. Let's
think how to make money from the Olympic.

and how to get funds
from a foreign country.

I’ve heard that you are doing business,
competing the Imperial Hotel

You are typical businessman.

What do you mean?

Someone who can make money
at war or at peace,

You are a rascal

That's cruel

I like rascals. They are so popular

Here, I hope this one is a rascal.

He looks fine

He stays quiet, just smiling.
You are probably right

Then, I’m the only good person.

Yes, he is. He asked me to come.
He must be a nice person.

You are too naive

Right. A good man does not drink here.

Sometimes, it's getting worse

Do you know how much
does it cost for a Lockheed?

I don’t know

1,330,000 dollars,
or 480 millions yen.

Then, what is the budget
of the Defense Agency?

144 million yens.

It is almost half
of the income tax

Really?

I’m against rearmament

Me too, I am against it

I am against people against the army

It’s so romantic to say good-bye
to a boyfriend who goes to war.

Even if he never comes back?

Best is if he comes back, with
a small wound, like our chef.

Was he wounded on the front?

No. He was forced to walk
with bare foot in Siberia

His foot was frostbitten.
He had to cut it by himself.

Unbelievable. He really
did it by himself?

He is a cook, he knows how
to chop things.

- Please
- No, Thanks you

You are not strong at alcohol?

I’m weak at alcohol
and beautiful women

Just like me. I’m weak
at alcohol and men

We know that

- three glasses and she becomes sweet

- Don’t you like it?

This place is getting worse,
with such geishas.

Not at all. The quality of
customers is getting worse.

Then, if you don’t like us,
we have to go. Let’s go Miyako

Company... March

What is all this noise?

Wait !

I wait for you at 11h00.

Please don’t forget this time.

You scared me

- I've been waiting for two hours.
- We do not have appointment.

How is it? Renault?

Not so bad

I found out I paid 10,000 yen
more than the regular price.

- It’s a new model and...
- I don’t care.

I wanted to boost your
sales figures.

Thanks.

because you promised not
to bother me anymore.

Wait... I cannot ask you, but…

I won't give you any money.

- Please, only 10,000 yens.
- No way.

Please, Masae..

I’m no more your wife.
Don’t call me like that.

I’m sorry.

not now…But the day after tomorrow...

I didn't have dinner today.

How’s your wife?

She is in the hospital, again.

Thanks.

Good night

We are back

Be careful

Are you OK?

Drunk again?

Fujimura-san had good
fun during the war

With this rear admiral
What was his name?

- Where is he now?
- I'd like to know

Is he Miyako's father?

Really?

I'm not sure

If someone could fall in love
with me.

A prime minister for instance

Don't spoil the floor

He is good-looking and he is
a relative of Mr. Tsunoda

If you like someone else,
I don’t force you.

No, there is no one.

Then, you should think about that.

You’ve already grown up.

I know

Then you shouldn’t get drunk
when you go to an arranged meeting

You are not fair

Why?

You want me to marry that guy
only to please Mr. Tsunoda

No, it's not that.

Tell me, are you really happy?

Yes, I think…

Did you really love my father?

doesn't matter. I’m not interested in
meeting him. I don’t care who he is.

So, you criticize me, again.

Yes. I like it. It makes
me feel good.

Well don't refrain then...
I have no right to blame you.

Anyway, I've told you.
I don't like this man

Let's go and have grilled eel.

Well...today is Saturday.
So, we have to go before 12h00

We came here all the way.

As I’m only an employee...
and you are a boss, though.

Whether I am a boss or not,
I’m also just the owner of geisha House.

You don’t need to pay any
installment, do you?

Even if we have nice girls,
It is not as good as before.

Means "would you like opening the window"

Yes !!!

Excuse us. We wanted to do it
but didn't dare to stand up

It is so hot

I was only giving an example

and then I gave you a translation

Excuse me

Then, "Would you mind + ing"
Please remember this structure

For example

Would you mind
passing the salt please?

That’s perfect.

Teacher.

Well...

I had a question, but I forgot.

Excuse me. My name is Kintaro.

Kintaro, like in the song

- You like public relations
- With handsome boys of course

You speak about yourself

“Shio” is the salt, then what is “Shoyu”?

Soy sauce ? Let me see

Well... It's not "Japanese sauce"...
So, Shoyu is O-Shooo-Yu.

How about violet?

Because we also call
soy sauce violet

You wanted to be drunk
to bother him,

but it didn’t work. He likes you.

Why is everyone on me about him?
Why don’t you marry him?

I know him since my childhood.
It’s not original to marry him

I will get married when I meet
someone who makes me crazy.

Someone to give your life for...

What kind do you like?

For example... someone
like the cook here.

Why don’t you ask him over. Melon must be
cool enough now. Let’s eat together.

I don't think, he will come here.

- Why?
- I don’t know

- Then, I go to ask him.
- He doesn’t like melon.

Really? So what does he like?

He doesn’t eat between meals.
He says it ruins the taste of Sake.

- He likes sake?
- Yes, but only the good ones.

You know well about him.

Tell me. You like him.

- No way.
- Why not? Even though he is a cook...

It’s none of your business.

- Hello.
- Hello.

"Kazunoko" are Herring's egg
and "Sujiko" are salmon's egg, right ?

"Ikura" is Ikura's egg?

Are you serious?
There is no fish like Ikura.

Ah, hello Madame.

welcome

Ita-san, It’s strange
to see you eating melon.

Shinobu brought it. Do you want some?

Well, I’ll have some later.

- Thanks you for the melon
- Not at all

What were you talking about?
You seemed to have a fun.

Do you know of what fish
"teigu" are the eggs?

See bass. They change name.

Well, I’m disappointed.
You hoped to teach her something

Why do you laugh at such nonsense?

Miyako, this is our room.

It's OK to bring your friends, but
you shouldn’t let in the employees.

Work, work.... Is he so busy?

Yes, his customers are
keeping him busy

Every day? I haven't
seen him for three days

Yes, he is very popular. He said
he would pass by your place

My place ? Why didn't you
tell me before ?

Sorry for disturbing you.
See you next time

She is like a cat on a
hot tin roof

- That's the wrong finger again
- I'm sorry

It's a pity. And yet, you are good at
remembering pop songs

- One more time
- Yes

- Did he come, Mister Takiguchi?
- He just left

What.... well, I am so hungry

Mr. Mori called. He'll be at
Shiseido at 5:00. He'll be waiting for you

But today is Saturday

what do you think?
We can't even see each other

Kintaro. If you keep on like this
you won’t have any patron left...

Anyway, they are paying only 30 000 yens

Men in their fifties are stingy

They call me when they fancy it

You should say that to this Mr. Mori.
I am sure you don't complain to him

Mr. Nozaki is waiting for you here

I don't know why he came,
but you shouldn't ask him here

So, you go directly to the party?

What should I tell him?

- Let me talk to her
- She hung up

She doesn’t want to see you.

Where is that party?

Listen, she won’t come
here today. You should better go home

I go to look for her.
I know her car number

Thank you

Poor Ichihana

He is a man of bad luck.
I go to clean the entrance

Sorry.

What happened?

What happened?

Why don't you tell us?

Maybe she was dumped again.

- Do you have time for me?
- It’s too late.

- I have to speak to you.
- I have another job tonight.

It is late for another party.
Will you stay there?

It’s none of your business.

Who is the guy?

Why do you care?

It’s none of your business

You are the one who dumped me

You left me for another woman, right?

It was my fault. I regret

It’s all right. I enjoy
my life much more now.

I will call someone...

You women are all the same

Don’t say that. It’s so foolish

You left me alone for 2 years.

What have you done during
all this time in the hospital?

What about this love
among patients

Well... We broke up

Whatever...It’s none of my business.

Move over

Wait, Masae. I want to talk to you.

Miss, You should go home.

What are you scared about?

I’m just taking a walk, in the
same direction as you

Don’t care about me

But it was enough. Thank you
for the dinner

Good night

Please, go home. It's late already

I'm just taking a walk

I just walk in the
same direction as you

- Do you want tea?
- No thanks.

I came to see your room

I just came to see how you live.

One can tell no woman lives here

You have many friends, right?

Do you go out often?

It would be better if
you stop going to party.

Why?

this world is like a swamp,
You could sink into it

You are exaggerating.
This world is not different than other

I know this place

I was born here

I have seen all kinds of woman

Certainly, there are many women
who have sunk in unhappy lives…

Helping men who are cheating on them

Working for nothing...
They are stupid

I can not blame them

You may think I am old-fashioned,
but they are living their lives thoroughly

No one can criticize me,
even though I love you

You shouldn’t say that,
even if it’s just a joke.

Does it bother you?

Excuse me...

Today, I’m too straight-forward...

Please go home.

No

It’s not fair to let me say such things.

I really don't see
why you are interested in me.

Right, I don’t see neither.

Please forgive me

Ita-san. There is
someone else you love.

Please go home.

All right. I am leaving

We are back

Take off your shoes.

- It smells bad...
- What are you talking about?

but It stinks....

it stinks

Wake up the others!

You went to bed after her
you didn't notice?

What happened?

She tried to commit suicide.

Madame.

Stupid. If you want to die,
jump into the river.

I don't care if you want to die,
but don’t bother other people.

Mum, Marry is dead!

- Hello.
- What is the matter?

You want to go to Hokkaido
It’s the perfect season there

But, it’s so sudden.

I got an argument with
my aunt and I left home.

You like having arguments
with your aunt, don’t you?

Because my dad is on
a business trip in Kyushu

During his absence,
I cannot stay with her.

Her husband died during the war?

Yes, when she was 35.

Since then, she is alone...I see...

It depends, your mother for example...

In her job, customers are men

So, it's easier to control herself.

It’s probably right. Where is your mother?

She went to Asakusa. She goes
to the temple every month.

Then, what do you want to do?

I am burden now, right?

I don’t want to go on like that anymore

"like that"? why?

Please don't get angry.

Tell me everything,

You are tired of me, right?

I'm old

Or is there another reason

You want to get married?

No

If we continue,
someone will find out

No one will know

No one found it until now

Just I’m afraid. Miyako
suspects something

Business is good, there is more
and more people

Sooner or later, someone
will find out

You said that you already died in Siberia

What if someone find out,

I would admit it...

No

don't worry

It will bother me if someone knows it

Listen, we were.... wrong from the beginning.

Anyway, it happened and it doesn't
matter if it was right or wrong

Actually, you helped me a lot...

Stop it

Stop speaking to me like to a maiden

I know you prefer younger girls
like Miyako for example

I know it

Living under the same roof,
do you think I can not see it?

You're wrong, I would never...

Yes it is the truth

Yes it is the truth

I know, but

I don’t want to

If I break up with you,

I cannot stay alive

I didn’t ask you

You didn’t ask me.

That’s the way it was

We shouldn’t regret anything

Please don't say things like that.

I’m sorry for you

That's why I...

I said nothing even
when you had someone else

Because nobody noticed us

but it doesn't matter....

If someone find out about us

I cannot stay at Fujimura

So, it doesn't matter

Go with some other woman if you want

I forgive you

I won't be angry

If someday,
you really love someone

I think I will die.

I don't feel very well today

I had too many tempura
and watermelon yesterday

is it OK if I'm not coming
to the party this evening?

I'm serious

I'm sorry for the disturbance

Are you sure?

It's all right. I wanted to play
a bit more

Let's go.

Shinobu-san, your father called.
He is on his way

- We should better go now
- let's go, hurry

Wait

- Ichihana-san, you are also going?
- I didn’t have fun like the others

We're going. See you later

Please, Ichihana san!

Again.... You shouldn't start drinking

He won't come

Yes he will. He is very stubborn

I'd like to see him

drink this, and then I'll call him

don't do that

If I drink, would you do it?

The poor girl, she is still in love

It's me who pay today

No, I'll pay, but come to see him with me.
he is such a great dancer

If you don't let me see him
I'll make some big scandal!

Some sake and beer
to the bamboo room

What about Mr Sanoda lunchbox

I'm preparing it. One is enough?

Shinobu-san is late.

doesn't matter

Do you want a drink?

Your friend asked to stay here.

- Can you arrange that?
- of course

You are not going by plane?

I like to take the train, sometimes

I bought tickets. Then?
do you come with me?

I have three other parties this week....

If I say yes, you can take
a couple of weeks off.

But...

It’s always the same thing.
Couldn't you find a better excuse?

I’m sorry.

Good evening

You are going on a business trip?

I'd love to come with you

Would you like to go
to Fukuoka with me?

You're kidding...

I'm serious... If you want to

You're pulling my leg.

I think he is serious...

You know, the dog you gave
me is dead...

- Really ? he was sick?
- No. Gas suicide

A dog? don't talk nonsense...

Really. He was tired of living

This porto wine is very good

I can't believe you are
so strong with drinking

- Maybe I could be a geisha...
- It's a pity you are not one.

Maybe you should try

You could probably become one.
Even Kintaro is a geisha

don't be like that

It must be fun...

Having dinner, drinks
and talking with nice men

Having fun all night
without worries

Getting married.... what a stupidity

You think so?

Although it didn't work for me, but I
think it is what is best for women

Changing diapers, washing clothes
and working like a slave?

Yes but all women try to get married

all the men who come
here are married

And young men are poor

It's hopeless

You think so? I wouldn't mind
spending my nights this way

Takiguchi-san....

Thank you very much!
See you soon.

I won't go back to Fujimura.

- Cool down
- But...

This is very good

Would you take me with you?
Nobody would disturb us

Who would disturb us?

Tell me, how many girls
did you bring in Tokyo?

Mother?

Kintaro, don't make things
more complicated

I want to sleep here.
Mister Takiguchi...

Don't be stupid... get out...

- Please
- Why did you let her drink so much?

Mr Takiguchi,
take me in your arms!

- Sorry, I’m late. Did you wait long?
- You had another party?

It's Kintaro. She was
so drunk and excited.

Do you like woman like that?

That's mean...

I bought Yakitoris.
They are quite good

Do you want to have some?

Let’s make some tea.
Do you want sake?

with ice... it's not cold

- Do you prefer whisky?
- Whatever

- Soon you can stop working.
- Really?

- I found a place.
- where is that?

In Gotanda, not far
from Chinatown

It’s not like your bar, but
the location is really good.

I’ll work so hard for you.
I'll bring customers over

I won’t let you work

You'll just look after the house

And then one day,
we'll move to Ginza

It's hot. Why don’t you
change your clothes.

No problem with your parents?
If you marry a geisha?

Moreover, I’m divorced.

I won't let them criticize you.

I’m so happy

Please, give me a cigarette

Your kimonos sell very well

Not bad

I heard... There is strong demand
for men kimonos

This could cost up to
100,000 yens, isn’t

How much it cost... All this is
not very interesting

What do you mean...? You're a
shop salesman, right?

Salesmen are well loaded

We only make 20 to 30 thousand
yen a piece

And we can only sell
one piece a month

Nozaki-san, What do you want?

Masae is my wife. Would you
give her back to me?

but you married again right?

No, I'm not married... Do you want
to see my civil status?

You married a young woman
at the mental hospital

During three years, you didn't
write a letter to Masae

I don't care of your civil status.
I know you are divorced

How could you say that?

I could sue you for standing
between us...

I've been in Ginza for 13 years
You can not blackmail me.

I don't want money, I want her

Please, give her back to me

stop that, please...

yes, it's true, I left her
for another woman...

but I can't forget her.

I love her

Stop that! Don’t touch my car...
I'll kill you...

I didn't want to threaten them

I'm begging you

let me go back with Masae

All right

Let the three of us get together
and Masae decide

Three of us?

let her decide with whom
she wants to go

Me too, I love her

- How was the trip?
- Well, Kansai women are the best.

You know, he says women of
Tokyo are worth nothing

Best are men from Tokyo
and women from Kyoto.

You too?

Soon, you'll see a
beautiful woman of Tokyo

Look, how tense you become

Good evening

let me introduce me. I’m Shinobu.

Good evening

Is this a joke?

- Look how beautiful she is
- A wonderful Geisha

- Please let me
- This is perfect

Don’t encourage her.

Listen, enough of foolish things,
go back home with your father

It's nice to be Geisha. Just
sitting down and it's 800 yen an hour

You can stay out until morning

drink what you want,
eat what you want...

Then, you find someone
to offer you fur coat, jewels...

Stop talking nonsense

What happened?

I fell down and I can’t move anymore

Does it hurt?

it’s somehow a weird feeling...

You could take a cab and
go to check at the hospital

I will call to Doctor.

No, I'll be fine

Don’t be shy. If you cannot work,
we will also have troubles.

Being a geisha is not so easy

You must learn how to dance
sing, play shamisen,

And then, you have to take care
of bad-mannered customers

a young geisha is like
a sheep surrounded by wolves.

- You are a wolf yourself then?
- me, it's different.

She won.

is it you Madam?

How was it...

An operation?

If I don't, I could have periostitis.

They say it's serious

Well, that serious...
when will you have the operation?

Tomorrow, the doctor can do it.

I’m sorry, but I have to stay
in the hospital for a week.

It’s all right, but...I'm worried

If you need something, let
me know and I get it for you

It’s all right... don't worry

Take care.

He stays in the hospital?

Does he need something?

I can bring it to him
tomorrow. What does he need?

Teeth brush, toothpaste,
soap, towels...

and then...

You are here

I was drunk, right....

Even more than that... like
Carmen in her madness...

You are exaggerating

Ok that was fun... stop it now

- Visiting someone?
- Yes. And you?

Do you remember the guy who
keep saying ... I can die now

Did he die?

No, he broke his nose,
but he didn't die

Good bye to his car, and the
two millions it is worth

I'll wash you

- Please don't
- Why not

I'll do it myself

No. Just the back

I can do it myself

If you don't want...

I'll go back home and prepare
some sushi for you

Always feeling sorry.

You should let yourself
get spoiled.... you're sick

- I thought you find him stupid
- He seems to be nice

he is well dressed

That's right, pink shirt, brown jacket
Not bad

- Hello, get in
- Good evening

You look good

Thank you. I should get out
in a 4 or 5 days

- That's good news
- did it hurt?

- I'm leaving now
- Really? Good-bye.

- A gift for you
- Thank you very much

and what about this?

You cannot keep postponing
your visit

I have to know if I need
to hire another cook!

A replacement should
come in a week

Good evening

Will you come for sure?
We'll be waiting for you

You're late. You've spent
all day at the hospital?

- Yes
- I see...

Thank you for him

Are you going out?

I'm going to the trade
association office

They have a party tomorrow,
but I can not go.

The new cook should be here
any minute

Take care of him when
he arrives, OK?

We are lucky, aren't we?

When are you going?

I'll be going around 6:30

Be kind... we danced together

here it comes... go

- You are too slow
- You are good players

and... take that

And I play this

It's not my lucky day

Do you still have time?

No, I have to go.
give me my money...

We'll pay you, don't worry

Hurry up. We geisha have
commitments.

I'm going with you

Excuse me, but I won

- I'm going
- Stay a bit more...

- Give me a refill please

You shouldn't drink that much

Hurry up, or luck will go

I‘m tired of you.

last time with gas, today with sleeping pills!

Lucky she didn't swallow it yet.

I won't stop you.
but, do it somewhere else

don't do it at my place
It will create troubles

- You just shouldn't die, you understand?
- She is right

She is too sensitive

- How many do you need to swallow to....?
- Do you want to kill yourself too?

No, but I take some when
I cannot sleep

That is no danger, don't be so stupid

It's time already. I'll go prepare.
twenty starters, is it enough?

- Go and buy five more.
- twenty please...

- Please, stop
- All right

Beniko.... As bad as you feel
Life is always worth living

isn't that true?

Good night

What is the matter?

What the matter Kintaro?

Good evening

I was waiting for you

Please listen to me

I knew that I had to tell
you about it...

You and I are not the same
You can do what you want.

I didn’t tell you until now.

And what you didn't tell me,
before have to be told now?.

I want you to know how I feel

It’s not cheating on anyone.

Maybe you find it ridiculous...
but I love this man

It’s all right

You are a woman, too.
It doesn’t bother me

But... I was so surprised... that's all

Tell me. Do you despise me?

Again? I told you I understand,
you are a woman, too

I don’t mind if you despise me.

If you love him,
why don’t you marry him?

- Marry him?
- Yes.

You hate me, right?

- You are not really...
- Really what?

You want me to say it?

Let me tell you. We both love
the same man

Why did you hide it?

You’re such a coward. It's disgusting

I’m that kind of woman

And I cannot change it

What's the matter?

- Something wrong?
- No

I don't think you've found
a patron yet

I shouldn’t ask, but
you're already.... forty-six?

This is not the wrong age
for women. Be careful

I thought the wrong age
was at thirty-three?

Before it was thirty-three, but
life expectancy has increased

forty six is now the bad age

You look pretty. As if
you were in your thirties

One could think you're
Miyako’s sister

You came back today?

Sorry for causing so much trouble

This is good news

I'm sorry I couldn't pay
you a visit

- I was worried
- It was not serious

What are you doing?

You've been very good to me
but I must leave

You're leaving?

Why?

Because... this is best

Who told you to leave?

Is it Miyako?

- No it's not her
- Who is it then?

Maybe it will sound selfish,
but I have enough

That's all

You...

You want to leave me?

Do you think you can leave like this?

Where will you go?

This... I haven't decided yet

Are you leaving with Miyako?

Let me tell you something...

I've never mentioned
that I like her

Do you think I’m that kind of guy?

I saw her today

you know what she said?

She asked me to marry you

So, I told her honestly

I won’t marry your mother.

Our relationship is not serious.

Yes, it was so at first...

but now...

please let me go.

No.

Even if you say no, I will leave.

- Why?
- Forgive me.

You... You'll be all right

You leave me, don’t you?
You leave me...

Let’s die together

- Stop it.
- Please, please die with me.

Let's die together
Let's die together

- Thanks a lot.
- Thanks, Madame.

Come on, let's go.

- Come on it's all right
- But it's already time.

We haven't bought anything yet

That’s all right. It is enough
to enjoy your visit here

- Here you go.
- Oh... wait. Some presents for you.

Thank you very much

maybe next time...

- Good-bye
- Thank you very much

So, you won’t
reconsider your position

Reconsider what?

You might think that
I’m still your wife,

but I think you are not
my husband any more

Sorry for making you waiting

Sir... Phone call.

Anyway, I will marry him.

Don’t come here anymore.

You spoke about suing him, right?

We can talk at court.
I have no problem with that

You want money, don’t you?

I say that I don’t want
to loose you

I cannot cut myself in two.

Tell me, how much you want?

So, how much

As you see we just opened this shop

I can give you 50,000 yens

If so, you have to accept the divorce.

Masae, I do it.

So, you’ll sign the document at City Hall?

I don’t know how much I paid for you.

Do you have a car?

I’ve already sold mine.

You don’t need to go to family court?

No, we don’t, City Hall is enough.

You may not like it

but anyway, I hired her to take
care of this house.

- I understand
- You will quit your job this evening

Yes.

- It's all right?
- Yes. Thank you very much.

- It’s not much.
- Thank you.

Miss...

Where are you going?

Tell me where you are going.

I go to Kobe.

I am really sorry

I always thought that
I’ve already died at war

I wasn't scare of death
and could be truly honest

Then, I thought I was
earnest with your mother...

But I was acting
like a lame duck

the tail between the legs

I was like that
with your mother

Like that? like what?

So shouldn't you marry her?

I won’t tell you any excuse.

Why don’t you say
what you want?

I will never see
you and your mother again

so please make up with your mother.

You have no right to say that.

When you say that you died at war,

It's just a way
to ask people for pity

War injuries are useless now

You are just cheating women.

Honesty you said...

But a man who looks honest like you
always hurts women

You’re neither infirm nor honest

Go to Kobe or wherever you want

I only came to see what you do
and how you feel

don't be conceited...

I just wanted to see
what the men really are

I learned a lot.

Please give me a cigarette.

Thank you

Now I feel relieved.

it's wrong side

I caused you much trouble, but
now it's done

I feel relieved

Why don’t you have a seat?

No thanks

- I go to buy newspaper.
- Do you have change?

- Which one do you want?
- That one and ... this one.

Honey, the train is coming!

Please give me the change.

Hurry up!

Masae, please die with me.

help me!!

Hello. Yes.

Ichihana-san?

by train...

- One Geisha?
- Yes

Her ex-husband killed her

So many stupid people around...

- Welcome back
- Hello

She was shouting "I don't want to die"

Her and Mr Takiguchi?
This is nonsense

There is so many bills...
almost 500,000 yens

- You will take care of them, right?
- Yes.

I didn’t know that my dad
was such a jerk. I’m so sorry.

No, it’s all right.

He has another woman in
Osaka who run his bar

He said he didn’t marry
again because of me. Such a lie

So sly. He has two personalities

My mother...and Ichihana, too.

Are you really
becoming a geisha?

Yes. If not, my mother and I
cannot manage

It must be a big decision.

Decision?

Yes... but as I have
many models around me

I would try anyhow.

I might go abroad.

Abroad?

That's great... Alone ?

with the one you dumped.

Well... I didn’t know that.

Yes, I am sly, too.

- We became hypocrites
- No. We are grown-up now.

If Miyako is determined,
she should begin soon

It's not worth spending on her training.

Before that, we have to find a house

- We shouldn’t bother you.
- It’s all right.

I want to ask you something.

What?

How you feel now about Ita?

I... don’t feel anything

Why?

If it’s true, I have something
to show you

I know where he is now,

He sent this letter telling
where he is staying in Kobe.

Did you really clean this?

It's still dirty

Good evening!

You're late. You go to salon Tsuki.

- Did you go to Nishikiya?
- Nishikiya?

The shop of Mr Takiguchi?

- He is very successful
- Really?

You are not interested?

Takiguchi? I don't remember this name

Good eve...

Here she is

Come here

Are you surprised?

This is the famous Kintaro

Now I can die

Excuse me

Now we are employees

- This one is a banker at IBL
- Me, I am leaving for New York

You all found work?

Yes. I found while at the university

Me, I know it since I was born...
How annoying

Your father is very strict, isn't he?

So according to what you say...

We'll call you later...

- Do you play golf?
- Yes.

We should go together then

Can I come too?

Now I can die

I will die soon

- Can you call some other girls?
- My father pays for me

You want some beer?

Let's toast to you

Congratulations to you

It's not true, you fool

Sorry for the disturbance

Miyako. This is a present for you.

I used it 40 years ago
when I started

This is out of fashion,
but the quality is really good.

Thank you.

This... you still have it?

I keep everything.

Did you decide your name?

We have to embroider your name.

Umeko, Kikuryu, Kikuya...Kimizuru

A fortune-teller told me
Kimizuru must be the best.

I want to use Miyako

Changing name is like changing
personality

I don't like it.

I see.

I think it's good

Let's do it so

I have to make a phone call.

- What’s wrong, mom?
- Nothing.

Cheer up,

I'll work hard for you

You've supported me for a longtime
and now it's my turn

I’ll work hard and
we can live a rich life.

- Good cheer, Miyako of Shichifuku
- Yes

"Miyako"

- Let's go
- Please

- Bye now.
- Take care.

This is Miyako, from Shichifuku.

She is so beautiful.

Thanks very much

Miyako. Really, I am a stupid woman

I'm going to Kobe

I don't know what expect me there

if I can be happy or not,

or if I want again to die

I have no idea.

Anyway, I don’t think
I'll see you again

forget me

and live your life

Thank you very much.

Thanks to you. We'll call you again.

Please
