[ Woman ] ON THE NIGHT PAPA TOOK HIS FINAL BREATH,

EVERYTHING BECAME QUIET.

FOR A MOMENT, EVEN THE WIND STOPPED BLOWING.

AT HIS FUNERAL, I REMEMBER I WISH I COULD LEAVE BEHIND...

THE GHOST OF MY PAST,

AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.

THAT NIGHT, MY WISH COME TRUE.

MY AUNT SODE TOLD ME SHE HAD VISITED THE MATCHMAKER.

[ In Japanese ] DID YOU TELL THE MATCHMAKER ABOUT MY PARENTS?

YOU MEAN HOW THEY DIED?

OF COURSE NOT.

WHEN DID IT COME? LET ME SEE...

[ Aunt Sode ] MATSUJI IS SUCH A HANDSOME MAN.

HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A SUGAR CANE FARMER!

"WHEN THE MIST COVERS THE MOUNTAINS...

I'M REMINDED OF THE HOMELAND.

YET, IN THIS SOUTH SEAS PARADISE,

MONEY IS EARNED WITH EASE...

AND THE ETERNAL FRAGRANCE OF FLOWERS...

IS BUT ANOTHER TROPICAL BLESSING.

IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR ARRIVAL...

I'M INSPIRED TO WRITE THIS HAIKU POEM.

'LADY BUTTERFLY PERFUMES HER WINGS

BY FLOATING OVER THIS ORCHID'"

I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU WORKING IN THE FIELDS, BUT...

AT LEAST IN HAWAII NO ONE WILL KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PAST.

BUT HAWAII...IT'S SO FAR AWAY.

THAT'S WHY IT'S PERFECT.

FAR AWAY, YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR PAST BEHIND...

AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.

RIYO, MAYBE YOUR LUCK IS CHANGING.

NOW LOOK AT ME...

AND THINK ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND-TO-BE.

[ Man ] MISS RIYO NAKAMURA.

THIS MAN IS YOUR HUSBAND, MATSUJI KIMURA.

TAKE OUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPH FOR CONFIRMATION.

I...THINK THERE'S A MISTAKE.

HE SEEMS TOO OLD.

THIS IS A FRIEND'S PHOTO, RIGHT?

OH, YOU ARE HIS FRIEND?

NO, I'M MATSUJI KIMURA.

I DIDN'T HAVE A MORE RECENT PHOTO OF MYSELF.

I'M SORRY.

[ In English ] "AND SHALL CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE.

"AND THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER."

NOW, PLEASE TAKE YOUR BRIDE'S HAND.

BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME BY THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII,

AND THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST,

I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE.

[ In Japanese ] THE HOUSE IS THIS WAY.

[ In English ] MIGUEL-SAN, THANK YOU.

[ In Japanese ] COME ON, RIYO.

[ Wind Howling ]

- WHAT? - I HEARD SOMETHING...

OH, THAT'S JUST THE GHOSTS.

THEY'RE WELCOMING YOU.

IT'S NOT MUCH...

BUT AT LEAST IT'S OUR OWN PLACE.

OVER IN THE WORKERS' CAMP, EVERYONE IS CROWDED TOGETHER.

SO, COME ON IN.

SHOW ME THE KIMONO. LET'S HURRY. EVERYONE'S WAITING FOR US.

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

DID YOU CHOOSE IT YOURSELF?

EVERYONE WILL BE SO IMPRESSED TO SEE YOU IN IT.

OH! RIYO!

YOU FAINTED.

IT'S THIS HEAT. YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.

HERE, HAVE SOME WATER.

[ Gasps ]

NO...PLEASE STOP!

NO!

DON'T BE SCARED.

[ Sighs ]

JAPAN.

OH, JAPAN!

I THOUGHT YOU WAS HAWAIIAN WAHINE TO ME,

EXCEPT FOR THAT AROUND YOUR NECK.

NO WAHINE MINE WORK OVER THERE.

[ In Japanese ] OH, YOU'RE HOME.

I WAS WORRIED.

[ Sighs ]

WHAT TIME IS IT?

[ Groaning ]

YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING. SLEEP NOW.

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU ON THE DOCK THAT DAY...

YOU LOOKED SO PALE AND SMALL...

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD LAST EVEN A WEEK.

[ Chuckling ]

BUT YOU'RE SUCH A STUBBORN GIRL, AREN'T YOU?

YOU SHOULD SLEEP...IT'S LATE.

MM-HMM.

AHH!

WHEN YOU LEFT

THE HOUSE WAS SO EMPTY

I THOUGHT...

I WAS ALL ALONE AGAIN.

ALL ALONE.

[ Riyo ] I THOUGHT I HEARD KANA SINGING AGAIN LAST NIGHT.

[ Matsuji ] MAYBE BECAUSE THIS IS THE OBON FESTIVAL

WHEN THE DEAD VISIT THE LIVING.

I NEVER USED TO BELIEVE IN GHOSTS IN JAPAN

BUT SOMEHOW IN HAWAII...

YES.

IN MEMORY OF YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER...

FATHER...MOTHER...

IN MEMORY OF KANA AND HER BABY, KEI.

[ Riyo's Voice ] [ In English ] SOMETIMES, EVEN NOW,

WHEN THE WIND'S BLOWING REAL HARD,

I THINK I HEAR KANA SINGING.

BUT THE SINGING IS NOT KANA.

IT IS THE VOICE OF MY DAUGHTER SINGING HER DAUGHTER TO SLEEP.

BUT, WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES,

I CAN STILL SEE THE MOON LIGHTING UP THE CANE FIELDS,

LIKE THE OCEAN THAT CARRIED ME HOME...

TO HAWAII.
