1
00:02:53,084 --> 00:02:58,042
AN
2
00:03:34,834 --> 00:03:36,667
You want to go to high school?
3
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:42,626
Studying doesn't put
food on the table.
4
00:04:22,876 --> 00:04:24,001
Hello?
5
00:04:26,542 --> 00:04:28,709
I'm at the dorayaki shop.
6
00:04:28,834 --> 00:04:30,501
- Who is it?
- Dorayaki.
7
00:04:30,626 --> 00:04:33,792
- Stop fooling around.
- I want to talk.
8
00:04:33,917 --> 00:04:36,417
Sorry, I've got noisy friends.
9
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:38,376
Who's noisy? That's mean.
10
00:04:38,501 --> 00:04:40,751
- Keep it down.
- Why should we?
11
00:04:41,292 --> 00:04:44,501
Be quiet, really.
I'm talking.
12
00:04:44,626 --> 00:04:47,292
She's blushing. Very fishy.
13
00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:48,917
I'll call you back.
14
00:04:49,042 --> 00:04:51,209
- It's very serious.
- It is.
15
00:04:51,334 --> 00:04:52,501
Sorry. Bye-bye.
16
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:55,042
- She hung up.
- She'll call back.
17
00:04:55,167 --> 00:04:57,084
I didn't hang up, so stop.
18
00:04:58,292 --> 00:04:59,917
She'll call back.
19
00:05:00,042 --> 00:05:02,709
- Don't try to hide it.
- Fishy.
20
00:05:02,834 --> 00:05:04,042
Very fishy.
21
00:05:04,792 --> 00:05:06,959
- Our teacher?
- Why in the world?
22
00:05:07,084 --> 00:05:09,417
I'm only interested in Sentaro.
23
00:05:10,292 --> 00:05:12,084
- Did you date him?
- No way.
24
00:05:12,209 --> 00:05:13,917
That older boy?
25
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:17,501
- I didn't.
- But Sentaro is glum.
26
00:05:18,209 --> 00:05:21,001
- On such a beautiful day.
- Hold it!
27
00:05:22,501 --> 00:05:24,584
This is a cherry blossom.
28
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,126
There's a blossom in my dorayaki.
29
00:05:29,251 --> 00:05:31,584
What have you done, Sentaro?
30
00:05:31,709 --> 00:05:33,417
A foreign substance.
31
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:36,292
It's contaminated.
32
00:05:38,292 --> 00:05:39,626
Awful!
33
00:05:40,584 --> 00:05:42,876
I'll give you these, if you leave.
34
00:05:43,001 --> 00:05:45,001
- Great!
-Thank you!
35
00:05:48,792 --> 00:05:51,001
- Thanks.
- Cheer up!
36
00:05:51,126 --> 00:05:53,584
- See you!
- Bye-bye!
37
00:05:54,709 --> 00:05:57,001
- Bye, Sentaro.
- Oh, Wakana!
38
00:06:01,209 --> 00:06:02,459
Hello.
39
00:06:11,251 --> 00:06:12,751
Here you go.
40
00:06:39,334 --> 00:06:40,751
Here.
41
00:07:01,834 --> 00:07:03,001
Umm...
42
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:06,001
Hello.
43
00:07:07,251 --> 00:07:10,751
I see your notice for part-time work...
44
00:07:10,876 --> 00:07:14,126
- Is there really no age limit?
- Yeah.
45
00:07:14,626 --> 00:07:19,209
I...
Do you suppose I could?
46
00:07:21,709 --> 00:07:25,876
I've always wanted
to do this kind of work.
47
00:07:28,667 --> 00:07:30,126
How old are you?
48
00:07:30,251 --> 00:07:32,376
I'm 76 this year.
49
00:07:35,876 --> 00:07:40,334
We don't pay much.
Just 600 yen.
50
00:07:43,376 --> 00:07:47,001
Oh, 300 yen an hour is plenty.
51
00:07:47,126 --> 00:07:49,126
300 yen is fine.
52
00:07:49,251 --> 00:07:51,667
- 300 yen?
- Yes!
53
00:07:51,792 --> 00:07:53,001
Well...
54
00:07:54,001 --> 00:07:56,001
I don't think it's possible.
55
00:08:06,042 --> 00:08:09,042
My name is Tokue Yoshii.
56
00:08:12,584 --> 00:08:14,501
You'd hurt your back.
57
00:08:18,501 --> 00:08:19,876
It's hard...
58
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:24,209
It's harder than it looks.
59
00:08:25,834 --> 00:08:27,126
Have one.
60
00:08:35,584 --> 00:08:37,001
Ah...
61
00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:40,626
It's on me.
62
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:43,042
Please.
63
00:08:50,792 --> 00:08:52,209
Do you know...
64
00:08:53,126 --> 00:08:54,876
this cherry tree,
65
00:08:56,126 --> 00:08:57,667
who planted it?
66
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:05,667
I'm not from around here.
67
00:09:11,209 --> 00:09:13,209
Thanks, I'll come again.
68
00:09:23,417 --> 00:09:24,626
Sonny...
69
00:09:39,542 --> 00:09:42,209
- The rejects.
- Thanks.
70
00:10:00,126 --> 00:10:03,126
That part-time work,
71
00:10:03,251 --> 00:10:05,459
could I do it?
72
00:10:05,584 --> 00:10:08,792
Well... when you start high school.
73
00:10:10,126 --> 00:10:13,001
I might not go to high school.
74
00:10:17,584 --> 00:10:19,626
Please consider me.
75
00:10:23,751 --> 00:10:25,001
Thanks.
76
00:11:39,501 --> 00:11:41,084
No, Marvy.
77
00:11:43,209 --> 00:11:45,209
You have to be quiet.
78
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:16,501
Ah...
79
00:12:18,167 --> 00:12:19,751
What is it?
80
00:12:25,792 --> 00:12:29,001
This is how I write my name.
81
00:12:33,917 --> 00:12:36,459
But I can't hire you, I'm sorry.
82
00:12:38,876 --> 00:12:44,126
As you can see,
my hands are a bit crippled.
83
00:12:44,251 --> 00:12:45,876
So...
84
00:12:46,001 --> 00:12:51,292
it could be less, 200 yen is fine.
85
00:12:53,126 --> 00:12:55,626
- For what?
- The hourly pay.
86
00:12:56,209 --> 00:12:57,751
That's not the problem.
87
00:12:57,876 --> 00:13:02,417
Your an, your bean paste,
do you cook it yourself?
88
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:05,292
Well, that's...
89
00:13:06,001 --> 00:13:07,334
a corporate secret.
90
00:13:07,459 --> 00:13:09,834
What do you mean, "corporate"?
91
00:13:10,376 --> 00:13:12,584
In this tiny place?
92
00:13:18,792 --> 00:13:20,459
Well, I...
93
00:13:21,751 --> 00:13:24,334
I tasted your dorayaki.
94
00:13:25,792 --> 00:13:29,959
I thought the pancakes weren't bad.
95
00:13:30,417 --> 00:13:31,667
But...
96
00:13:32,334 --> 00:13:35,126
the bean paste was...not so good.
97
00:13:35,251 --> 00:13:39,834
An isn't easy to make.
Have you ever made it?
98
00:13:39,959 --> 00:13:43,834
I've been making an
for 50 years.
99
00:13:43,959 --> 00:13:45,376
50 years?
100
00:13:45,501 --> 00:13:47,834
Yes. A half century.
101
00:13:48,751 --> 00:13:52,501
Making bean paste
is all about heart, sonny.
102
00:13:54,251 --> 00:13:56,792
I can't hire you, I'm sorry.
103
00:14:03,626 --> 00:14:06,209
Here, have a taste of this.
104
00:14:07,126 --> 00:14:08,376
What is it?
105
00:14:10,876 --> 00:14:12,709
What is this?
106
00:14:35,417 --> 00:14:37,167
Chunky bean paste.
107
00:15:57,834 --> 00:15:59,292
Excuse me.
108
00:16:03,042 --> 00:16:04,459
Coming in?
109
00:16:05,959 --> 00:16:07,251
Welcome!
110
00:16:15,251 --> 00:16:18,251
- Good evening.
- What?
111
00:16:21,501 --> 00:16:22,626
Pardon me.
112
00:16:24,167 --> 00:16:25,792
You came to eat?
113
00:16:29,501 --> 00:16:32,292
A bottle of beer and...
114
00:16:34,167 --> 00:16:35,501
the tempura meal.
115
00:16:38,751 --> 00:16:40,834
I'll have the tempura too.
116
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:42,751
Tempura.
117
00:16:43,751 --> 00:16:45,167
And an ashtray.
118
00:16:50,292 --> 00:16:52,167
Here you go.
119
00:16:55,334 --> 00:16:57,126
Is he a friend?
120
00:16:57,251 --> 00:17:01,251
Yes. He was in my club at school.
121
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:04,292
He's in high school now.
122
00:17:06,001 --> 00:17:08,751
Here's your beer to start with.
123
00:17:36,334 --> 00:17:38,209
The woman who stopped by,
124
00:17:40,751 --> 00:17:42,667
wanting to work...
125
00:17:48,709 --> 00:17:50,376
She came back later.
126
00:17:52,959 --> 00:17:57,667
She brought some chunky bean paste
that she made herself.
127
00:17:58,626 --> 00:18:00,459
It was incredible.
128
00:18:02,834 --> 00:18:05,126
I was surprised.
129
00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:06,834
Why was that?
130
00:18:09,667 --> 00:18:11,542
The taste. The fragrance.
131
00:18:13,626 --> 00:18:16,459
Totally different from what I use.
132
00:18:24,209 --> 00:18:27,001
You should let her try.
133
00:18:29,417 --> 00:18:31,709
She wanted to work.
134
00:20:05,251 --> 00:20:06,876
Oh, hello.
135
00:20:07,001 --> 00:20:08,834
Nice to see you again.
136
00:20:10,959 --> 00:20:13,542
The blossoms have all fallen.
137
00:20:13,667 --> 00:20:16,209
Yeah, they certainly have.
138
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:20,542
They're waving their hands.
139
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:41,167
Your bean paste was delicious.
140
00:20:41,292 --> 00:20:43,417
Oh, you tried it?
141
00:20:46,959 --> 00:20:52,126
So... if you don't mind,
could you help me out?
142
00:20:53,292 --> 00:20:54,792
Let's sit down.
143
00:20:57,042 --> 00:20:59,459
Well, wow...
144
00:20:59,584 --> 00:21:00,917
Boss...
145
00:21:03,292 --> 00:21:04,917
Wow, boss.
146
00:21:05,417 --> 00:21:07,667
- Thanks.
- Not at all.
147
00:21:08,542 --> 00:21:09,834
Please...
148
00:21:14,959 --> 00:21:19,084
Can you lift the pots?
It takes some strength.
149
00:21:19,209 --> 00:21:23,001
I'll let you lift the pots.
150
00:21:23,959 --> 00:21:25,584
That's right.
151
00:21:25,709 --> 00:21:28,292
Can you handle a spatula?
152
00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:29,834
Yes, of course.
153
00:21:30,459 --> 00:21:34,292
You said the other day,
your hands are a little...
154
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:39,126
They're not really a problem,
except how they look.
155
00:21:41,209 --> 00:21:44,584
All I ask is that you make
the bean paste.
156
00:21:44,709 --> 00:21:47,751
Wow, really...
157
00:21:48,209 --> 00:21:52,542
I'm going to be able to work here!
158
00:22:00,792 --> 00:22:02,292
Thank you.
159
00:22:09,084 --> 00:22:11,876
Write your phone number,
or your mobile phone number.
160
00:22:12,001 --> 00:22:13,751
My phone...
161
00:22:13,876 --> 00:22:18,251
I don't have one.
I get by with letters.
162
00:22:19,167 --> 00:22:23,001
I won't be late for work.
I get up before the birds.
163
00:22:23,126 --> 00:22:24,501
It's not that...
164
00:22:26,209 --> 00:22:28,292
Well, then...
165
00:22:28,917 --> 00:22:30,209
Thank you.
166
00:22:31,792 --> 00:22:33,876
I was wondering...
167
00:22:34,001 --> 00:22:38,084
Do you make your own bean paste?
168
00:22:38,834 --> 00:22:40,292
Well, uh...
169
00:22:42,876 --> 00:22:46,084
I tried many times.
170
00:22:46,209 --> 00:22:48,209
But it's hard to do.
171
00:22:48,334 --> 00:22:53,167
It had a burnt taste, or it was thick.
172
00:22:53,292 --> 00:22:54,667
It's beyond me.
173
00:22:56,709 --> 00:22:58,167
Beyond you?
174
00:22:59,042 --> 00:23:00,917
Where's the bean paste?
175
00:23:02,917 --> 00:23:06,584
The shop opens at 11:00.
I start preparing at 9:00.
176
00:23:06,709 --> 00:23:09,917
- And the bean paste...
- What's this?
177
00:23:11,584 --> 00:23:13,459
- An?
-Yes.
178
00:23:14,876 --> 00:23:16,334
This is it.
179
00:23:17,209 --> 00:23:18,792
An.
180
00:23:21,417 --> 00:23:23,209
- Bulk order.
- Bulk order?
181
00:23:23,334 --> 00:23:26,042
Why? How could you?
182
00:23:26,167 --> 00:23:28,959
We've always got it this way.
183
00:23:29,084 --> 00:23:30,251
Always?
184
00:23:33,584 --> 00:23:38,292
An is the soul of a dorayaki.
185
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,001
How could you treat it so lightly?
186
00:23:42,126 --> 00:23:45,042
They deliver as soon as we order it.
187
00:23:47,042 --> 00:23:50,167
You have to make your own bean paste.
188
00:23:52,584 --> 00:23:57,334
If the shop opens at 11:00,
tomorrow morning...
189
00:23:57,459 --> 00:24:02,167
we'll start preparations
before the sun shows his face.
190
00:24:03,084 --> 00:24:07,459
- The sun...
- Yes, before dawn.
191
00:24:46,167 --> 00:24:47,709
Good morning.
192
00:24:47,834 --> 00:24:49,417
Good morning.
193
00:24:51,042 --> 00:24:53,834
There was a tree with tiny cherries.
194
00:24:55,042 --> 00:24:56,417
Was there?
195
00:24:57,167 --> 00:25:02,001
- Do the buses run this early?
- It's OK. Don't worry about it.
196
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:03,417
Well, then.
197
00:25:10,876 --> 00:25:12,001
Please.
198
00:25:12,126 --> 00:25:13,251
Thanks.
199
00:25:16,834 --> 00:25:18,167
Here they are.
200
00:25:33,501 --> 00:25:35,459
Oh, good.
201
00:25:40,334 --> 00:25:44,084
Boss, did you look
before you soaked them?
202
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:45,792
At what?
203
00:25:46,459 --> 00:25:48,084
The azuki beans.
204
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:56,126
Here, look.
205
00:25:56,251 --> 00:25:58,626
Some are no good.
206
00:26:00,042 --> 00:26:02,126
Like this one. See?
207
00:26:02,834 --> 00:26:04,251
I'm sorry.
208
00:26:04,376 --> 00:26:07,334
- Why do you apologise?
- I don't know...
209
00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:11,334
Good, good.
210
00:26:12,001 --> 00:26:14,501
Pour them into the copper pot.
211
00:26:18,042 --> 00:26:20,084
Look at the colour of the water.
212
00:26:20,209 --> 00:26:22,751
Really. A lot soaks out.
213
00:26:28,001 --> 00:26:29,876
OK, good, good.
214
00:26:30,001 --> 00:26:33,709
Pour them in the colander.
215
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:41,709
- Straight in?
- Yes. Careful.
216
00:26:44,501 --> 00:26:45,917
- Yes, here.
- Ouch!
217
00:26:46,042 --> 00:26:47,709
Hot, isn't it?
218
00:26:48,209 --> 00:26:51,001
Raise the colander.
Drain them.
219
00:26:54,001 --> 00:26:55,251
OK?
220
00:26:57,834 --> 00:26:59,417
Hold it.
221
00:26:59,542 --> 00:27:01,834
Rinse them. Like this.
222
00:27:02,376 --> 00:27:06,834
You have to rinse thoroughly,
or the beans will be bitter.
223
00:27:07,876 --> 00:27:08,959
Good.
224
00:27:09,084 --> 00:27:11,709
Pour them back into the copper pot.
225
00:27:14,001 --> 00:27:16,834
Now, water. Clean water.
226
00:27:16,959 --> 00:27:18,292
Sorry.
227
00:27:19,501 --> 00:27:20,584
That's right.
228
00:27:21,792 --> 00:27:23,792
- Pour this in?
- Yes, pour it in.
229
00:27:23,917 --> 00:27:25,834
Slowly, gently.
230
00:27:25,959 --> 00:27:28,959
Slowly. Not too much.
231
00:27:29,501 --> 00:27:31,084
That's good.
232
00:27:42,667 --> 00:27:46,876
Pretty soon now.
The scent of the steam has changed.
233
00:27:47,001 --> 00:27:48,834
The scent of the steam?
234
00:28:01,167 --> 00:28:02,459
Good.
235
00:28:09,001 --> 00:28:11,001
We'll let them sit awhile.
236
00:28:13,167 --> 00:28:14,834
It's a lot of trouble.
237
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:17,042
We're hosting them.
238
00:28:17,167 --> 00:28:18,959
Hosting?
239
00:28:19,084 --> 00:28:20,834
Our customers?
240
00:28:20,959 --> 00:28:22,709
No, the beans.
241
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:24,292
The beans?
242
00:28:25,501 --> 00:28:29,834
They came all this way,
from the fields.
243
00:28:47,001 --> 00:28:48,501
Did it go well?
244
00:28:48,626 --> 00:28:50,751
It did.
245
00:28:51,834 --> 00:28:54,042
Put the copper pot in the sink.
246
00:29:05,084 --> 00:29:10,292
The warm beans...
break easily.
247
00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:12,376
Gently, gently...
248
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:15,834
Gently, gently, gently...
249
00:29:33,126 --> 00:29:36,667
The harsh juices will run off the top.
250
00:29:48,542 --> 00:29:50,751
Until the broth is clear.
251
00:29:50,876 --> 00:29:52,292
Clear...
252
00:29:55,834 --> 00:29:57,917
It takes so much time.
253
00:30:00,834 --> 00:30:04,542
But...
what do you see there?
254
00:30:05,542 --> 00:30:06,876
Huh?
255
00:30:08,292 --> 00:30:11,042
Putting your face so close,
256
00:30:11,167 --> 00:30:13,042
what are you looking at?
257
00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:16,501
What, you ask?
258
00:30:25,001 --> 00:30:26,709
Oh, they're beautiful.
259
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:29,167
This is how they turn out.
260
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:38,167
Now we add the sweetness.
261
00:30:45,501 --> 00:30:46,834
The other, too.
262
00:30:52,709 --> 00:30:54,876
That's right.
263
00:31:05,042 --> 00:31:06,792
We wait again?
264
00:31:08,001 --> 00:31:12,584
It would be an insult
to cook it right away.
265
00:31:12,709 --> 00:31:18,334
We have to let the beans
get used to the sweetness.
266
00:31:19,126 --> 00:31:20,376
So...
267
00:31:20,917 --> 00:31:22,917
It's like a first date,
268
00:31:23,042 --> 00:31:26,876
the young couple needs to get friendly.
269
00:31:28,001 --> 00:31:30,042
How long do we watch them?
270
00:31:31,251 --> 00:31:33,167
Oh, about two hours.
271
00:31:33,292 --> 00:31:34,667
Two hours?
272
00:31:37,584 --> 00:31:39,042
Two hours...
273
00:32:15,459 --> 00:32:19,834
Here, this is critical now.
They'll burn in a flash.
274
00:32:19,959 --> 00:32:22,917
Keep the spatula
on the bottom of the pot.
275
00:32:23,042 --> 00:32:26,876
If they burn now, they're ruined.
276
00:32:27,834 --> 00:32:29,042
Keep it straight.
277
00:32:29,167 --> 00:32:31,251
Move it quickly.
278
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:36,001
Don't stir it so hard.
279
00:32:36,126 --> 00:32:41,501
The more you stir,
the more you crush the beans.
280
00:32:41,626 --> 00:32:44,834
Move the spatula carefully.
281
00:32:44,959 --> 00:32:47,042
That's it, don't crush them.
282
00:32:47,167 --> 00:32:49,751
Little by little...
283
00:32:49,876 --> 00:32:52,959
Little by little, how much is that?
284
00:32:53,084 --> 00:32:55,084
Little...
285
00:32:55,209 --> 00:32:56,709
...is little.
286
00:32:56,834 --> 00:33:01,834
You don't knead the paste,
you simmer it down, OK?
287
00:33:05,959 --> 00:33:07,876
Turn down the heat...
288
00:33:08,584 --> 00:33:10,959
- Now, the mizu-ame.
- Mizu-ame? OK.
289
00:33:12,001 --> 00:33:14,792
A double handful, lift it out.
290
00:33:14,917 --> 00:33:16,292
Oh, good job.
291
00:33:16,417 --> 00:33:18,709
Shake it a bit,
then slip it in the pot.
292
00:33:18,834 --> 00:33:19,834
Slip it?
293
00:33:22,042 --> 00:33:23,501
There we go.
294
00:33:30,834 --> 00:33:33,167
Now, on to the next...
295
00:33:33,292 --> 00:33:34,334
Can I wash?
296
00:33:34,459 --> 00:33:37,042
Of course,
what were you waiting for?
297
00:33:37,167 --> 00:33:38,959
Well, uh...
298
00:33:39,834 --> 00:33:41,292
Oh, the faucet? OK.
299
00:33:42,376 --> 00:33:44,626
- Here goes.
- Careful.
300
00:33:46,167 --> 00:33:49,334
Good, good. Looks great.
301
00:34:32,584 --> 00:34:34,417
It's still a bit hot.
302
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:40,126
Did it burn you?
303
00:34:40,251 --> 00:34:41,834
It's still hot.
304
00:35:09,376 --> 00:35:11,376
What do you think, boss?
305
00:35:13,292 --> 00:35:15,334
Never had anything like it.
306
00:35:24,001 --> 00:35:26,209
It sure is delicious.
307
00:35:26,334 --> 00:35:27,459
It is.
308
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:32,292
I've finally met a dorayaki
I could stomach.
309
00:35:33,542 --> 00:35:34,834
Huh?
310
00:35:41,209 --> 00:35:43,251
What did you say, boss?
311
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:49,126
I've never ever eaten
a whole dorayaki.
312
00:35:51,751 --> 00:35:54,251
I don't have a sweet tooth.
313
00:35:56,126 --> 00:35:57,459
Well, that's...
314
00:35:58,584 --> 00:36:02,334
But I can tell that
your bean paste is great.
315
00:36:02,459 --> 00:36:04,376
It's rarely this good.
316
00:36:05,417 --> 00:36:09,459
Why do you have
a dorayaki shop then, boss?
317
00:36:11,292 --> 00:36:13,292
- Delish.
- Enough.
318
00:36:14,417 --> 00:36:18,292
Enough flattery.
It's just so disappointing.
319
00:36:19,834 --> 00:36:25,292
How could someone, who doesn't
like sweets, run a dorayaki shop?
320
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:27,001
Why?
321
00:36:29,501 --> 00:36:33,334
Actually, I'm partial
to this kind of thing.
322
00:36:33,459 --> 00:36:38,251
Then why don't you run
a pub instead?
323
00:36:42,042 --> 00:36:43,459
Why not?
324
00:36:48,334 --> 00:36:50,417
It's 11:00. I'll open up.
325
00:36:55,917 --> 00:36:57,501
Delicious.
326
00:36:57,626 --> 00:37:00,792
- Somethings changed.
- Isn't it the bean paste?
327
00:37:01,667 --> 00:37:04,417
This chunky bean paste is firm.
328
00:37:04,542 --> 00:37:06,501
Lets you know it's there.
329
00:37:07,251 --> 00:37:10,126
Why? It's so smooth.
330
00:37:11,042 --> 00:37:15,626
It wasn't such a good match before.
Now it's the star of the show.
331
00:37:18,126 --> 00:37:20,001
What have you done, Sentaro?
332
00:37:20,126 --> 00:37:21,834
Did you get serious?
333
00:37:22,667 --> 00:37:24,126
An upgrade?
334
00:37:27,167 --> 00:37:28,542
"A little."
335
00:37:29,209 --> 00:37:30,876
He smiled!
336
00:37:31,001 --> 00:37:34,001
- Hello!
- Can I help you?
337
00:37:35,126 --> 00:37:37,626
- Three, for my grandkids and me.
- Three, OK.
338
00:37:37,751 --> 00:37:39,042
Three at once!
339
00:37:39,709 --> 00:37:41,459
360 yen, please.
340
00:37:41,584 --> 00:37:43,626
The bean paste is delicious.
341
00:37:43,751 --> 00:37:45,542
- Is it?
- Everyone says so.
342
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:46,876
Thank you.
343
00:37:47,001 --> 00:37:48,459
- Isn't it good?
- Yes.
344
00:37:48,584 --> 00:37:51,376
Did you try one? Delicious.
345
00:37:51,501 --> 00:37:52,959
Thanks.
346
00:37:53,084 --> 00:37:54,417
Rave reviews.
347
00:37:58,167 --> 00:38:00,709
He's grinning. He's glad.
348
00:38:24,751 --> 00:38:27,709
Can you read this to me?
349
00:38:27,834 --> 00:38:30,917
This ? I'll read to you.
350
00:38:31,042 --> 00:38:32,542
Sit up here.
351
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:41,126
"The Night Bear".
352
00:38:43,709 --> 00:38:45,834
"You know, last night,
353
00:38:45,959 --> 00:38:49,042
"late at night, a cute kid came by.
354
00:38:49,167 --> 00:38:51,584
"Knock-knock, at the door.
355
00:38:52,167 --> 00:38:54,251
"Oh, really? Mama didn't hear."
356
00:38:54,376 --> 00:38:56,334
Who came?
357
00:38:56,459 --> 00:38:58,709
Who do you think?
358
00:38:58,834 --> 00:39:01,459
"Was it a boy? Or a girl?"
359
00:39:01,584 --> 00:39:03,709
A boy.
360
00:39:05,834 --> 00:39:08,334
"No. A bear cub.
361
00:39:10,084 --> 00:39:13,126
"He came looking for his mother."
362
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:16,959
- Why was his mother gone?
- I wonder why.
363
00:39:17,542 --> 00:39:19,792
- His mother!
- There she is.
364
00:39:21,126 --> 00:39:25,042
"Oh, Mother!
Where have you been?"
365
00:39:25,167 --> 00:39:26,834
Why was she here?
366
00:39:26,959 --> 00:39:30,709
- His mother was busy.
- Oh.
367
00:39:30,834 --> 00:39:34,376
The moon, it's sparkling so pretty.
368
00:39:34,501 --> 00:39:38,417
- What's this?
- That's a green moon.
369
00:40:14,167 --> 00:40:17,001
I want to see you, soon.
370
00:40:23,709 --> 00:40:26,626
I'll make you some lunch.
371
00:40:26,751 --> 00:40:29,001
Are you free some afternoon?
372
00:40:30,251 --> 00:40:35,376
Really?
OK, I'll make you something.
373
00:40:37,542 --> 00:40:39,167
Let's meet here.
374
00:40:43,709 --> 00:40:45,917
It's all right. I'll call you.
375
00:41:06,209 --> 00:41:07,917
Oh, I spilled it.
376
00:41:08,834 --> 00:41:09,834
What's this?
377
00:41:10,334 --> 00:41:12,042
It got wet, this kid's book.
378
00:41:15,376 --> 00:41:16,667
What is it?
379
00:41:19,209 --> 00:41:21,167
It's OK, just a little wet.
380
00:41:33,959 --> 00:41:35,251
Hey!
381
00:41:36,167 --> 00:41:38,667
You have to get rid of this bird.
382
00:41:43,042 --> 00:41:44,417
Wakana!
383
00:41:51,042 --> 00:41:54,209
- Keep up the good work.
- I will.
384
00:41:56,876 --> 00:41:58,709
Not you, boss.
385
00:42:00,667 --> 00:42:02,667
I'm talking to the beans.
386
00:42:05,584 --> 00:42:07,501
To the beans...
387
00:42:14,876 --> 00:42:16,917
People say they like it.
388
00:42:17,042 --> 00:42:18,417
Like what?
389
00:42:18,542 --> 00:42:20,667
Your bean paste.
390
00:42:20,792 --> 00:42:24,126
- The schoolgirls raved about it.
- Really?
391
00:42:25,876 --> 00:42:29,501
I look forward to meeting them.
392
00:42:32,584 --> 00:42:34,459
They're just noisy kids.
393
00:42:34,584 --> 00:42:37,834
It's good for kids to be noisy.
394
00:42:39,834 --> 00:42:41,709
I want to meet them.
395
00:42:45,042 --> 00:42:48,626
Oh, it's 11:00.
Time to open up.
396
00:42:53,834 --> 00:42:55,209
What's this?
397
00:42:55,334 --> 00:42:57,084
What is it?
398
00:43:00,126 --> 00:43:01,542
What's up?
399
00:43:02,709 --> 00:43:05,542
We came to buy dorayaki.
400
00:43:07,709 --> 00:43:11,334
- Not ready yet?
- Oh, welcome!
401
00:43:11,459 --> 00:43:13,292
There's a queue?
402
00:43:13,417 --> 00:43:14,876
You can go now.
403
00:43:16,251 --> 00:43:21,126
With so many customers,
you can't manage alone, boss.
404
00:43:22,126 --> 00:43:24,126
Well, then help me.
405
00:43:51,001 --> 00:43:52,542
That'll be 1200 yen.
406
00:43:53,834 --> 00:43:57,334
- Here you go. Thanks.
- Thank you.
407
00:43:58,251 --> 00:44:00,084
This is great!
408
00:44:30,084 --> 00:44:33,084
- Do you have a minute?
- Checking on your shop?
409
00:44:36,542 --> 00:44:38,834
There's a rumour going around.
410
00:44:38,959 --> 00:44:41,292
Your part-time worker...
411
00:44:41,834 --> 00:44:43,334
Oh, Tokue.
412
00:44:44,626 --> 00:44:46,626
She's called Tokue?
413
00:44:46,751 --> 00:44:48,876
You never tell me anything.
414
00:44:49,001 --> 00:44:52,126
She's just helping me
make the bean paste.
415
00:44:52,251 --> 00:44:56,001
And working at the counter too.
416
00:44:58,542 --> 00:45:01,001
A friend told me about her.
417
00:45:02,042 --> 00:45:03,501
That woman...
418
00:45:04,584 --> 00:45:06,876
Her hands are crippled, right?
419
00:45:08,626 --> 00:45:11,376
Now that you mention it, a bit...
420
00:45:11,501 --> 00:45:15,626
My friend says she might be a leper.
421
00:45:18,251 --> 00:45:21,126
They call it Hansen's disease now.
422
00:45:24,542 --> 00:45:26,167
How old is she?
423
00:45:27,792 --> 00:45:29,792
In her mid-70s.
424
00:45:30,626 --> 00:45:32,501
But she's strong.
425
00:45:32,626 --> 00:45:36,292
And...
Where does she live?
426
00:45:57,209 --> 00:45:58,751
This...
427
00:46:00,542 --> 00:46:04,001
this is where they quarantine
leprosy patients.
428
00:46:05,459 --> 00:46:07,834
It's a sanatorium.
429
00:46:11,417 --> 00:46:13,834
This chicken-scratch!
430
00:46:16,084 --> 00:46:17,876
She says she's cured.
431
00:46:18,001 --> 00:46:20,584
Of course she would say that.
432
00:46:21,709 --> 00:46:23,292
Did you know?
433
00:46:24,417 --> 00:46:27,626
In serious cases of leprosy,
434
00:46:29,001 --> 00:46:31,126
people's fingers fall off.
435
00:46:32,167 --> 00:46:34,542
Their noses melt off.
436
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:37,501
Tokue has her fingers
and her nose.
437
00:46:37,626 --> 00:46:39,334
I don't know, but...
438
00:46:40,501 --> 00:46:43,917
they used to confine people for life,
439
00:46:44,042 --> 00:46:47,251
when they had leprosy.
440
00:46:49,126 --> 00:46:51,626
I saw them when I was young,
441
00:46:53,667 --> 00:46:55,501
at a temple...
442
00:47:01,667 --> 00:47:05,501
Those people were
on the temple grounds.
443
00:47:06,417 --> 00:47:09,584
After they passed by,
444
00:47:11,084 --> 00:47:14,251
the health office
sprayed disinfectant.
445
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:18,584
But, ma'am...
446
00:47:20,084 --> 00:47:22,251
This shop is booming,
447
00:47:22,376 --> 00:47:28,167
and it's because of Tokue's
bean paste.
448
00:47:28,292 --> 00:47:30,251
I know that.
449
00:47:31,417 --> 00:47:37,542
But if the person who tipped me off
starts telling others,
450
00:47:38,959 --> 00:47:40,834
it'll be the end of it.
451
00:47:40,959 --> 00:47:43,251
Who told you?
452
00:47:43,376 --> 00:47:45,126
That doesn't matter.
453
00:47:48,959 --> 00:47:52,501
Anyway, you've got to let her go.
454
00:47:55,959 --> 00:47:59,084
I'm sorry. Give me some time.
455
00:48:04,084 --> 00:48:08,376
Hand me that, the spray,
the disinfectant.
456
00:48:18,834 --> 00:48:20,501
I don't like it,
457
00:48:21,834 --> 00:48:23,834
having to tell you this.
458
00:48:25,917 --> 00:48:30,292
My husband put this shop
in your hands.
459
00:48:31,042 --> 00:48:33,626
Sentaro, he trusted you.
460
00:48:34,542 --> 00:48:36,917
You're the manager here.
461
00:48:39,751 --> 00:48:41,042
Besides...
462
00:48:42,251 --> 00:48:44,959
we covered the payoff
for your incident,
463
00:48:46,626 --> 00:48:48,959
and you still owe us money.
464
00:48:50,959 --> 00:48:52,126
Anyway,
465
00:48:53,417 --> 00:48:55,709
do what you have to.
466
00:50:17,126 --> 00:50:18,876
Yeah, hello.
467
00:50:19,834 --> 00:50:23,584
Ah, boss, where are you?
468
00:50:25,959 --> 00:50:28,709
I'm feeling a bit...
469
00:50:28,834 --> 00:50:30,792
Are you OK?
470
00:50:32,167 --> 00:50:34,292
I think I'm just tired.
471
00:50:35,084 --> 00:50:37,334
Oh, sure.
472
00:50:37,459 --> 00:50:40,751
It's no surprise,
you never take a day off.
473
00:50:41,834 --> 00:50:45,709
Why do you work so hard?
474
00:50:45,834 --> 00:50:47,667
You don't even like sweets.
475
00:50:51,501 --> 00:50:54,834
Would it be OK to take the day off?
476
00:50:55,834 --> 00:50:57,376
You should.
477
00:50:58,209 --> 00:51:01,126
Take two or three days off.
478
00:51:02,167 --> 00:51:04,876
No. I'll be in tomorrow.
479
00:51:05,376 --> 00:51:06,959
All right.
480
00:51:07,542 --> 00:51:13,292
Since I'm here, I'll cook
the bean paste for tomorrow.
481
00:51:16,834 --> 00:51:19,084
Can I ask you to do that?
482
00:51:32,917 --> 00:51:35,834
I hate having this closed.
483
00:51:52,834 --> 00:51:54,626
Can I get a dorayaki?
484
00:51:55,584 --> 00:51:57,584
Ah, a customer?
485
00:51:58,584 --> 00:52:00,542
Am I too early?
486
00:52:02,834 --> 00:52:05,126
Just a moment...
487
00:52:05,251 --> 00:52:07,084
Am I too early?
488
00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:11,084
No, it's fine.
489
00:52:11,209 --> 00:52:13,334
Can you wait a moment?
490
00:52:13,459 --> 00:52:16,542
- I've just finished the bean paste.
- Certainly.
491
00:52:29,459 --> 00:52:31,792
What's the right amount?
492
00:52:37,001 --> 00:52:39,584
I've burned this one, it's black.
493
00:52:42,501 --> 00:52:43,959
Oh, dear...
494
00:52:44,917 --> 00:52:46,959
- Hello.
- Welcome.
495
00:52:47,084 --> 00:52:49,417
Five dorayaki, please.
496
00:52:50,626 --> 00:52:53,542
- Five for three people?
- Yes, five for three of us.
497
00:52:53,667 --> 00:52:56,626
- Can you cut them?
- It'll be fine.
498
00:53:10,251 --> 00:53:12,709
Sorry to keep you waiting.
499
00:53:12,834 --> 00:53:16,459
That's 480 yen. Thank you very much.
500
00:53:16,584 --> 00:53:19,334
- Thank you.
- 100, 200...400.
501
00:53:24,834 --> 00:53:28,042
I see how hard the boss has to work.
502
00:53:30,334 --> 00:53:32,709
- Excuse me.
- Coming.
503
00:53:34,959 --> 00:53:37,834
- One dorayaki.
- Oh, just the one. Good!
504
00:53:44,501 --> 00:53:45,792
Oh!
505
00:53:48,167 --> 00:53:51,376
Are you finished for today?
506
00:53:52,751 --> 00:53:57,001
I was thinking of closing up,
507
00:53:57,126 --> 00:53:59,501
but you made it just in time.
508
00:53:59,626 --> 00:54:01,292
Come on in.
509
00:54:04,917 --> 00:54:06,251
Today...
510
00:54:08,251 --> 00:54:11,376
...the boss took the day off,
so I...
511
00:54:12,001 --> 00:54:15,126
I usually make the bean paste,
512
00:54:15,251 --> 00:54:20,292
but today I made the pancakes too.
513
00:54:21,376 --> 00:54:22,709
Like this...
514
00:54:23,709 --> 00:54:26,167
I ruined loads of them!
515
00:54:26,876 --> 00:54:28,876
It's nice to be young.
516
00:54:36,459 --> 00:54:38,459
You're so lucky.
517
00:54:41,417 --> 00:54:43,501
Oh, a bird!
518
00:54:43,626 --> 00:54:46,042
Birds are lucky, they're free.
519
00:54:54,042 --> 00:54:56,042
So many. Look!
520
00:54:59,709 --> 00:55:02,376
Do you have brothers and sisters?
521
00:55:02,501 --> 00:55:04,417
No, I don't.
522
00:55:04,542 --> 00:55:06,376
Aren't you lonely?
523
00:55:07,626 --> 00:55:10,084
No, I'm not lonely.
524
00:55:11,626 --> 00:55:13,501
Oh, I know...
525
00:55:13,626 --> 00:55:16,542
you have a pet cat or dog.
526
00:55:17,834 --> 00:55:19,459
No, I don't.
527
00:55:24,292 --> 00:55:27,001
I do have a canary.
528
00:55:27,126 --> 00:55:30,542
A canary? How does it sing?
529
00:55:36,542 --> 00:55:39,459
And when its food is tasty?
530
00:55:39,584 --> 00:55:42,626
- Then it sings stronger.
- How?
531
00:55:46,001 --> 00:55:48,667
That sounds lovely.
532
00:57:28,626 --> 00:57:30,501
Oh, boss! Good morning.
533
00:57:30,626 --> 00:57:33,834
Good morning.
I thought you had today off.
534
00:57:33,959 --> 00:57:37,084
Well, I had to cook the bean paste.
535
00:57:38,501 --> 00:57:40,501
- For today.
- Bean paste?
536
00:57:45,126 --> 00:57:48,834
I thought you cooked it yesterday.
537
00:57:49,376 --> 00:57:51,834
Well, yesterday...
538
00:57:54,001 --> 00:57:55,834
...customers came,
539
00:57:56,626 --> 00:57:59,626
so I had to open up the shop.
540
00:58:02,834 --> 00:58:06,584
But...
what about the pancakes?
541
00:58:08,584 --> 00:58:10,751
I fried them all.
542
00:58:11,417 --> 00:58:13,001
You fried them?
543
00:58:14,167 --> 00:58:17,292
I ruined a lot of them, though.
544
00:58:18,042 --> 00:58:19,876
Sorry, boss.
545
00:58:22,126 --> 00:58:25,542
But I sold them all.
546
00:58:25,667 --> 00:58:29,667
I put up a sign:
"Sold Out! Thank You!"
547
00:58:36,459 --> 00:58:41,084
But, selling the whole batch,
you must've been tired.
548
00:58:42,584 --> 00:58:44,001
I was.
549
00:58:44,834 --> 00:58:48,001
Even so,
you came early this morning.
550
00:58:51,834 --> 00:58:54,001
Right, I got it.
551
00:58:55,376 --> 00:58:57,709
How much bean paste today?
552
00:58:57,834 --> 00:59:00,834
- Two kilos of dried beans.
- Two kilos...
553
00:59:01,834 --> 00:59:04,001
Well, Tokue...
554
00:59:05,251 --> 00:59:08,417
If you're not too tired,
555
00:59:09,792 --> 00:59:12,959
and only if you want to,
556
00:59:14,376 --> 00:59:16,959
could you help serve customers?
557
00:59:17,084 --> 00:59:18,792
Oh, boss...
558
00:59:20,459 --> 00:59:23,459
- Do as you please.
- Really?
559
00:59:43,126 --> 00:59:44,626
There's a hole!
560
00:59:50,626 --> 00:59:51,917
It's hot.
561
00:59:53,209 --> 00:59:58,626
Boss, I knitted these at home.
562
00:59:58,751 --> 01:00:01,626
It's still too hot for them, but...
563
01:00:01,751 --> 01:00:04,667
- You made these?
- Which do you like?
564
01:00:06,167 --> 01:00:08,209
See them in the light.
565
01:00:08,334 --> 01:00:10,876
- Which one?
- Which one...
566
01:00:11,001 --> 01:00:13,251
I guess, the blue one.
567
01:00:13,376 --> 01:00:16,376
Sure?
It's thin, the other has two layers.
568
01:00:16,501 --> 01:00:18,667
No, I like this one.
569
01:00:18,792 --> 01:00:20,751
It's still so hot.
570
01:00:37,751 --> 01:00:42,209
- Shall we take a break?
- Oh, that would be nice.
571
01:00:49,542 --> 01:00:51,626
Thank you.
572
01:01:02,042 --> 01:01:04,126
I, erm...
573
01:01:07,042 --> 01:01:10,292
I have a debt, to this shop.
574
01:01:10,417 --> 01:01:11,834
Oh, really?
575
01:01:12,834 --> 01:01:16,876
I have a burden I'll carry all my life.
576
01:01:19,209 --> 01:01:21,459
Is it a large amount?
577
01:01:21,584 --> 01:01:25,167
You haven't been tricked,
have you, boss?
578
01:01:25,292 --> 01:01:27,334
No...
579
01:01:27,459 --> 01:01:32,042
The owner of the shop
paid a debt for me.
580
01:01:32,167 --> 01:01:34,417
That's why I'm here.
581
01:01:37,709 --> 01:01:40,334
We all have our stories.
582
01:01:42,334 --> 01:01:44,709
We just have to work hard.
583
01:01:45,834 --> 01:01:47,209
Thank you.
584
01:01:48,001 --> 01:01:50,167
I'll do my best.
585
01:01:53,917 --> 01:01:57,209
- That maths we're doing...
- What is it? "Factor" something.
586
01:01:57,334 --> 01:02:01,376
Factorisation.
Factorisation, what's that all about?
587
01:02:01,501 --> 01:02:03,667
- It's pointless.
- Meaningless.
588
01:02:03,792 --> 01:02:05,042
Really?
589
01:02:05,167 --> 01:02:08,626
Of course it is, just "factorising" time.
590
01:02:10,751 --> 01:02:14,126
- School's so boring.
- It's boring, these days.
591
01:02:14,917 --> 01:02:17,626
Find a way to make it matter.
592
01:02:17,751 --> 01:02:20,084
- How'd we do that?
- That's hard.
593
01:02:20,209 --> 01:02:22,417
Turn it into a game.
594
01:02:22,542 --> 01:02:24,084
- No way.
- Miyu's parents...
595
01:02:24,209 --> 01:02:26,459
They'd kick me out.
596
01:02:26,584 --> 01:02:29,459
Then you could run away.
597
01:02:29,584 --> 01:02:31,917
- Just for a day.
- That's trouble.
598
01:02:32,042 --> 01:02:34,709
- We have entrance exams.
- We'll fail.
599
01:02:34,834 --> 01:02:36,001
You're cruel.
600
01:02:36,126 --> 01:02:39,876
No... I don't want that.
601
01:02:40,001 --> 01:02:43,251
But you should do
what makes you happy.
602
01:02:43,376 --> 01:02:47,084
You have all that freedom.
603
01:02:47,792 --> 01:02:51,209
What did you want to be, Tokue?
604
01:02:51,334 --> 01:02:52,917
At our age...
605
01:02:53,042 --> 01:02:57,834
At your age...
I wanted to teach Japanese.
606
01:02:57,959 --> 01:02:59,751
No, really.
607
01:03:00,959 --> 01:03:05,501
I wanted to read poetry
with my students.
608
01:03:05,626 --> 01:03:07,792
But, back then,
609
01:03:07,917 --> 01:03:13,126
the war had just ended,
and everything was chaos.
610
01:03:13,251 --> 01:03:15,292
Oh, no! The time!
611
01:03:15,417 --> 01:03:16,917
- What?
- Cram school.
612
01:03:17,042 --> 01:03:18,959
Well, take those with you.
613
01:03:19,084 --> 01:03:20,542
Take care.
614
01:03:23,376 --> 01:03:25,834
We've only got five minutes.
615
01:03:25,959 --> 01:03:28,251
You're not going, Wakana?
616
01:03:28,376 --> 01:03:30,167
- I don't go.
- Oh, I see.
617
01:03:30,292 --> 01:03:33,709
Do we have any rejects, boss?
618
01:03:33,834 --> 01:03:35,626
The rejects...
619
01:03:35,751 --> 01:03:38,626
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
620
01:03:39,376 --> 01:03:41,292
- And the rejects...
- Thanks.
621
01:03:46,834 --> 01:03:51,001
Erm... Tokue,
what happened to your fingers?
622
01:03:51,126 --> 01:03:55,709
I can't shake this summer cold.
623
01:03:55,834 --> 01:03:58,834
- I keep coughing.
- Are you all right?
624
01:03:58,959 --> 01:04:01,084
I'm fine.
625
01:04:01,209 --> 01:04:05,084
Erm...your fingers,
what happened to them?
626
01:04:07,084 --> 01:04:12,501
They ended up crooked like this.
627
01:04:12,626 --> 01:04:14,917
I was sick when I was young.
628
01:04:19,876 --> 01:04:21,917
You're really sweating, boss.
629
01:04:27,959 --> 01:04:29,917
This is hot work in the summer.
630
01:04:30,042 --> 01:04:31,917
The summer's tough.
631
01:05:07,542 --> 01:05:09,542
Let's have a look...
632
01:05:20,584 --> 01:05:23,417
Reading Braille with his tongue...
633
01:05:28,626 --> 01:05:32,667
The Leprosy Prevention Law
was repealed...
634
01:05:33,626 --> 01:05:35,501
...in 1996.
635
01:05:36,209 --> 01:05:38,626
Until then,
636
01:05:39,584 --> 01:05:43,376
people were forced
to live in quarantine.
637
01:05:46,001 --> 01:05:48,584
People lost their hands or feet.
638
01:05:49,751 --> 01:05:51,751
Or they were crippled.
639
01:05:53,376 --> 01:05:58,042
They lost their noses
and their faces were deformed,
640
01:05:58,167 --> 01:06:01,834
which made people fear them.
641
01:06:08,834 --> 01:06:13,584
"We too want to live in society
where the sun shines."
642
01:07:44,751 --> 01:07:46,959
What's happened?
643
01:07:49,834 --> 01:07:51,834
It's turned cold.
644
01:07:52,876 --> 01:07:54,876
When it's cold...
645
01:07:58,417 --> 01:08:01,542
...people want a sweet dorayaki.
646
01:08:09,959 --> 01:08:11,626
I'll take a break.
647
01:08:51,084 --> 01:08:53,167
- Tokue...
- Yes?
648
01:08:54,251 --> 01:08:56,834
Take the rest of the day off.
649
01:09:02,584 --> 01:09:03,917
OK.
650
01:10:01,292 --> 01:10:02,709
See you later.
651
01:12:09,834 --> 01:12:12,084
Hello. This is for you.
652
01:12:12,709 --> 01:12:14,126
Thank you.
653
01:12:29,626 --> 01:12:34,334
Dear boss,
how are things at the shop?
654
01:12:35,501 --> 01:12:40,417
I worry that your spirit might be down.
655
01:12:44,292 --> 01:12:47,292
When I cook the bean paste,
656
01:12:47,417 --> 01:12:53,251
I always listen for the stories
the beans tell.
657
01:12:53,376 --> 01:12:56,501
It's a way of imagining
658
01:12:56,626 --> 01:13:01,709
the rainy days and sunny days
the beans have seen.
659
01:13:01,834 --> 01:13:06,834
What breezes blew
across the beanstalks?
660
01:13:06,959 --> 01:13:10,167
Listen to the story of their journey.
661
01:13:10,292 --> 01:13:13,126
Yes. Listen to them.
662
01:13:17,792 --> 01:13:20,959
I believe that everything in this world
663
01:13:21,084 --> 01:13:25,084
has a story to tell.
664
01:13:25,209 --> 01:13:28,626
Even the sunshine and the wind,
665
01:13:28,751 --> 01:13:33,792
I think you can hear their stories.
666
01:13:33,917 --> 01:13:36,542
Maybe that's the reason.
667
01:13:36,667 --> 01:13:41,626
Last night, the breeze that blew in
across the hedge of holly
668
01:13:41,751 --> 01:13:48,084
seemed to be telling me thatI should get in touch with you.
669
01:13:54,251 --> 01:13:55,834
Boss...
670
01:13:58,501 --> 01:14:02,501
We try to live our lives
beyond reproach,
671
01:14:02,626 --> 01:14:08,042
but sometimes we are crushed
by the ignorance of the world.
672
01:14:09,001 --> 01:14:14,084
There are times
when we have to use our wits.
673
01:14:14,209 --> 01:14:18,042
I should have talked
about that with you.
674
01:14:20,042 --> 01:14:26,334
I'm sure that someday, boss,
you'll create a dorayaki
675
01:14:26,459 --> 01:14:29,584
that fulfills your own vision.
676
01:14:29,709 --> 01:14:34,459
Have confidence
to follow your own path.
677
01:14:35,959 --> 01:14:40,792
I'm sure you can do that, boss.
678
01:15:06,334 --> 01:15:09,709
Where's Tokue?
679
01:15:14,209 --> 01:15:15,709
She quit.
680
01:15:31,167 --> 01:15:33,126
What is it?
681
01:15:33,251 --> 01:15:35,834
I, erm...
682
01:15:36,834 --> 01:15:39,084
I ran away from home.
683
01:15:39,209 --> 01:15:41,042
You ran away?
684
01:15:42,167 --> 01:15:43,584
When?
685
01:15:44,542 --> 01:15:45,876
This morning.
686
01:15:47,126 --> 01:15:48,959
Just this morning...
687
01:15:57,084 --> 01:15:59,251
His name is Marvy.
688
01:16:01,334 --> 01:16:06,084
We live in an apartment,
and pets are prohibited.
689
01:16:06,209 --> 01:16:12,792
A neighbour complained to the landlord,
and he said to get rid of him.
690
01:16:14,209 --> 01:16:19,834
I once talked with Tokue about this,
here at the shop.
691
01:16:21,001 --> 01:16:22,459
Here?
692
01:16:24,292 --> 01:16:27,376
When I first spoke with Tokue.
693
01:16:29,751 --> 01:16:31,126
And?
694
01:16:32,376 --> 01:16:35,667
She said that
if I can't keep Marvy,
695
01:16:35,792 --> 01:16:39,542
either you or she would take him.
696
01:16:41,584 --> 01:16:43,417
Without asking me...
697
01:16:45,084 --> 01:16:46,501
You can't?
698
01:16:47,667 --> 01:16:49,251
I have an apartment too.
699
01:16:50,959 --> 01:16:52,376
I can't.
700
01:17:03,251 --> 01:17:08,209
I only told one person
about Tokue's fingers.
701
01:17:11,459 --> 01:17:12,626
Who?
702
01:17:14,584 --> 01:17:16,209
My mother.
703
01:17:21,126 --> 01:17:23,292
The rumour mill is scary.
704
01:17:27,876 --> 01:17:29,376
But then...
705
01:17:31,626 --> 01:17:33,417
...in this case...
706
01:17:35,876 --> 01:17:38,042
...more than the rumours...
707
01:17:39,709 --> 01:17:41,626
...I'm to blame.
708
01:17:43,292 --> 01:17:45,292
I couldn't protect her.
709
01:17:46,501 --> 01:17:47,917
I'm to blame.
710
01:17:50,584 --> 01:17:52,001
Boss...
711
01:17:53,126 --> 01:17:55,751
why don't we go and see her?
712
01:17:55,876 --> 01:17:59,042
In the place where Tokue lives?
713
01:18:01,001 --> 01:18:04,042
When I first spoke with Tokue,
714
01:18:04,167 --> 01:18:06,876
we looked at the moon together.
715
01:18:09,167 --> 01:18:14,459
The moon was rising
above those cherry trees.
716
01:18:15,501 --> 01:18:18,834
Tokue said,
"It's so pretty, let's have a look."
717
01:18:20,667 --> 01:18:24,917
As the two of us
were looking at the moon,
718
01:18:26,376 --> 01:18:29,501
she said she'd look after Marvy.
719
01:18:30,876 --> 01:18:35,792
Tokue said that
the promise was made
720
01:18:35,917 --> 01:18:38,709
between her and the moon and me.
721
01:18:41,292 --> 01:18:43,334
A promise to the moon...
722
01:18:55,334 --> 01:18:58,334
The next stop is Zensho-en.
723
01:18:58,459 --> 01:19:01,876
Zensho-en, next stop.
724
01:19:46,251 --> 01:19:48,084
It's so quiet.
725
01:20:12,834 --> 01:20:17,834
With Hansen's disease,
some people lose their noses.
726
01:20:19,084 --> 01:20:22,501
Their faces are disfigured.
727
01:20:27,334 --> 01:20:32,042
There'll be people like that here.
728
01:21:06,167 --> 01:21:07,459
This way.
729
01:21:56,292 --> 01:21:57,709
Tokue.
730
01:21:59,084 --> 01:22:00,626
Hello.
731
01:22:02,834 --> 01:22:04,834
How have you been?
732
01:22:07,876 --> 01:22:09,459
Both of you...
733
01:22:13,292 --> 01:22:16,084
This is Marvy.
734
01:22:17,834 --> 01:22:20,001
You're a beautiful yellow.
735
01:22:22,834 --> 01:22:24,459
Little Marvy.
736
01:22:38,042 --> 01:22:45,001
My husband departed for the other
world just about 10 years ago.
737
01:22:45,126 --> 01:22:49,959
I was feeling lonesome.
738
01:22:50,084 --> 01:22:53,542
But Marvy's arrived
just at the right time.
739
01:22:59,126 --> 01:23:01,792
Tokue...
740
01:23:03,709 --> 01:23:06,167
when did you start living here?
741
01:23:08,251 --> 01:23:11,626
When I was about your age, Wakana.
742
01:23:15,584 --> 01:23:17,126
So...
743
01:23:18,542 --> 01:23:20,834
...it was a long time ago.
744
01:23:25,001 --> 01:23:28,126
I came here with my brother.
745
01:23:29,251 --> 01:23:31,126
He brought me.
746
01:23:34,751 --> 01:23:39,501
When we got to the station,
he said to me for the first time,
747
01:23:41,417 --> 01:23:46,126
"You probably have leprosy.
748
01:23:47,042 --> 01:23:51,459
"If you do, I'll have to leave you.
749
01:23:52,584 --> 01:23:55,876
"I'll have to leave you,
and go back home."
750
01:24:01,709 --> 01:24:03,584
My mother...
751
01:24:05,209 --> 01:24:07,209
she stayed up all night,
752
01:24:08,834 --> 01:24:11,376
sewing a blouse for me.
753
01:24:13,376 --> 01:24:17,584
I don't know where
she found the material.
754
01:24:19,501 --> 01:24:22,501
It was a white, knitted fabric.
755
01:24:25,834 --> 01:24:32,001
I'd never worn anything like it.
756
01:24:37,834 --> 01:24:40,459
But when I got here,
757
01:24:40,584 --> 01:24:48,126
everything I wore and
everything I'd brought was disposed of.
758
01:24:48,251 --> 01:24:52,667
I never saw the blouse ever again.
759
01:24:58,001 --> 01:24:59,417
Tokue!
760
01:25:06,834 --> 01:25:10,459
Are you the boss
of the dorayaki shop?
761
01:25:11,917 --> 01:25:13,459
Yes, I am.
762
01:25:14,959 --> 01:25:17,042
- I see.
- Hello.
763
01:25:17,167 --> 01:25:21,459
I wanted to work there too.
764
01:25:28,542 --> 01:25:32,834
This is my friend, Yoshiko.
765
01:25:33,709 --> 01:25:35,334
Glad to meet you.
766
01:25:37,626 --> 01:25:43,251
This is where we cooked sweets,
for many years.
767
01:25:44,834 --> 01:25:46,834
Back then,
768
01:25:46,959 --> 01:25:51,417
the cooks and the customers
were all patients.
769
01:25:51,542 --> 01:25:58,917
Yoshiko's speciality
is Western cakes, unlike me.
770
01:26:00,917 --> 01:26:02,292
Please eat.
771
01:26:02,417 --> 01:26:06,584
While it's warm.
You don't need a sweet tooth.
772
01:26:08,334 --> 01:26:09,751
Thank you.
773
01:26:14,251 --> 01:26:15,667
Thanks.
774
01:26:25,959 --> 01:26:27,376
It's delicious.
775
01:26:38,376 --> 01:26:41,834
This salted kombu
is Tokue's homemade.
776
01:26:46,626 --> 01:26:49,167
This is...pickled plum?
777
01:26:49,292 --> 01:26:53,459
Yes, I use plum, and shiso too.
778
01:26:56,292 --> 01:26:58,209
How do you make this?
779
01:27:01,751 --> 01:27:03,376
I'm not telling.
780
01:27:06,042 --> 01:27:08,001
You should tell him.
781
01:27:08,834 --> 01:27:10,459
I'm so glad.
782
01:27:10,584 --> 01:27:15,334
It's really nice,
they seem to like it.
783
01:27:16,834 --> 01:27:19,667
- Won't you have some?
- Well, I...
784
01:27:20,667 --> 01:27:22,542
She's lost her appetite lately.
785
01:27:22,667 --> 01:27:24,667
I'm fine.
786
01:27:24,792 --> 01:27:26,917
I'm a little worried.
787
01:27:27,042 --> 01:27:29,417
I'm having my dentures fixed.
788
01:27:34,042 --> 01:27:39,167
When we cook bean paste,
we use just a little salt.
789
01:27:39,292 --> 01:27:41,917
But along with red bean soup,
790
01:27:42,042 --> 01:27:46,167
we serve distinctly salty things,
like kombu.
791
01:27:49,584 --> 01:27:50,834
That's right.
792
01:27:51,751 --> 01:27:57,084
We combine salt and sweet
dumplings too, like shio-daifuku.
793
01:27:58,292 --> 01:28:00,292
The concept of reversal.
794
01:28:01,667 --> 01:28:04,876
So... what about salted dorayaki?
795
01:28:07,542 --> 01:28:09,667
It's worth trying.
796
01:28:16,251 --> 01:28:18,626
Thanks, boss...
797
01:28:20,626 --> 01:28:22,626
You were very kind to me.
798
01:28:26,084 --> 01:28:28,376
I had a great time.
799
01:28:37,376 --> 01:28:38,584
Boss...
800
01:28:40,459 --> 01:28:42,626
I'll be all right.
801
01:29:00,917 --> 01:29:02,334
Boss...
802
01:29:03,917 --> 01:29:07,126
Smile when something is delicious.
803
01:29:12,667 --> 01:29:15,959
I enjoyed it so much.
804
01:29:22,459 --> 01:29:24,751
It was pure pleasure.
805
01:29:24,876 --> 01:29:27,959
The cherry tree was so beautiful.
806
01:29:28,084 --> 01:29:32,501
Oh, those cherry blossoms...
807
01:29:51,334 --> 01:29:53,251
Dear Tokue Yoshii...
808
01:30:00,251 --> 01:30:01,876
To be frank,
809
01:30:03,251 --> 01:30:05,459
for entirely different reasons,
810
01:30:06,834 --> 01:30:09,667
I too spent time apart from society.
811
01:30:13,876 --> 01:30:16,709
Three years before I came to the shop...
812
01:30:19,376 --> 01:30:21,376
...I was working at a pub.
813
01:30:22,709 --> 01:30:26,084
Trying to mediate in a fight,
I turned violent,
814
01:30:27,959 --> 01:30:32,917
and I left one person
with a severe disability.
815
01:30:34,751 --> 01:30:38,501
While I was in prison,
my mother came to visit.
816
01:30:40,001 --> 01:30:41,334
But...
817
01:30:42,876 --> 01:30:47,542
...she died before I was released.
818
01:30:49,834 --> 01:30:52,251
I never got to hear her stories.
819
01:30:54,459 --> 01:30:59,626
I haven't been able
to hear anyone's stories.
820
01:31:14,126 --> 01:31:15,792
No good?
821
01:31:15,917 --> 01:31:18,834
Too salty. I used too much.
822
01:31:20,834 --> 01:31:22,667
It's so tricky.
823
01:31:28,417 --> 01:31:30,751
I think it's good.
824
01:31:34,667 --> 01:31:38,334
Well, then, how about this?
825
01:31:39,167 --> 01:31:42,459
This salt has been dried
826
01:31:42,584 --> 01:31:47,001
under the light of a full moon.
827
01:31:47,126 --> 01:31:49,667
It's from a southern island.
828
01:31:51,667 --> 01:31:53,292
There are all kinds.
829
01:31:54,376 --> 01:31:56,001
Pour me some.
830
01:31:59,376 --> 01:32:01,042
A little more.
831
01:32:03,959 --> 01:32:05,792
Hey, there. Excuse us.
832
01:32:06,501 --> 01:32:09,876
This is the manager, Sentaro.
833
01:32:10,001 --> 01:32:11,376
Hi.
834
01:32:12,751 --> 01:32:15,459
I've been thinking things over.
835
01:32:16,751 --> 01:32:21,834
I know it's very sudden,
but I'd like you to work with this kid.
836
01:32:24,584 --> 01:32:26,167
He's my nephew.
837
01:32:26,292 --> 01:32:28,917
He worked in a restaurant,
838
01:32:29,042 --> 01:32:32,917
but he ran into some personal problems.
839
01:32:33,042 --> 01:32:36,417
You know how touchy cooks can be.
840
01:32:38,334 --> 01:32:42,792
So I want to remodel the shop
next month,
841
01:32:42,917 --> 01:32:46,959
and we'll add grilled okonomiyaki
to the menu.
842
01:32:47,084 --> 01:32:50,667
Sweet and salty pancakes,
that's the idea.
843
01:32:50,792 --> 01:32:52,209
Remodel?
844
01:32:53,667 --> 01:32:57,751
There are lots of students
around here.
845
01:32:59,167 --> 01:33:02,501
You'd get along with him, right?
846
01:33:05,751 --> 01:33:07,209
Hang on a second...
847
01:33:07,334 --> 01:33:10,084
I know, I know.
848
01:33:11,084 --> 01:33:16,292
But this shop can't stay as it is.
849
01:33:17,459 --> 01:33:20,834
I've loved him since he was a baby,
850
01:33:22,001 --> 01:33:26,834
so when he began training as a chef,
I started making this plan.
851
01:33:27,917 --> 01:33:33,167
Won't you accept this,
as the wish of the owner?
852
01:33:33,292 --> 01:33:34,709
But I...
853
01:33:34,834 --> 01:33:38,667
You want to continue
making dorayaki, right?
854
01:33:39,876 --> 01:33:44,417
You can train the future owner
while you do.
855
01:33:44,542 --> 01:33:46,126
Right?
856
01:33:46,251 --> 01:33:49,751
Now, Wakato,
make a proper greeting.
857
01:33:49,876 --> 01:33:51,251
Hiya.
858
01:33:54,626 --> 01:33:56,709
What do you think?
859
01:33:56,834 --> 01:34:01,959
We'll put the griddle here.
860
01:34:02,084 --> 01:34:06,792
And you can make the dorayaki
over here.
861
01:34:06,917 --> 01:34:09,501
I think it'll work out fine.
862
01:34:10,626 --> 01:34:14,501
It'll be a big improvement.
863
01:34:15,751 --> 01:34:18,417
Young people are always hungry.
864
01:34:18,542 --> 01:34:21,959
- Sweet.
- Dorayaki are always sweet.
865
01:35:13,876 --> 01:35:15,459
Dorayaki...
866
01:35:19,751 --> 01:35:21,917
Come and get them.
867
01:35:27,917 --> 01:35:29,501
Dorayaki...
868
01:35:35,126 --> 01:35:36,626
Dorayaki...
869
01:36:49,501 --> 01:36:50,917
Boss?
870
01:36:55,667 --> 01:36:57,834
I thought I'd find you here.
871
01:37:04,001 --> 01:37:06,167
I looked all over for you.
872
01:37:08,417 --> 01:37:10,251
Are you all right?
873
01:37:18,584 --> 01:37:20,126
Shall we go?
874
01:37:28,334 --> 01:37:29,751
Yoshiko...
875
01:37:34,167 --> 01:37:35,876
Hello.
876
01:37:56,501 --> 01:37:57,834
Ah...
877
01:38:04,542 --> 01:38:06,667
Tokue has died.
878
01:38:26,167 --> 01:38:28,001
Three days ago.
879
01:38:30,126 --> 01:38:32,126
She died of...
880
01:38:37,667 --> 01:38:39,501
...pneumonia.
881
01:38:45,126 --> 01:38:47,334
I see that Tokue's feelings...
882
01:38:49,667 --> 01:38:51,667
...reached you.
883
01:38:58,376 --> 01:39:01,834
Excuse us, Tokue.
884
01:39:06,959 --> 01:39:08,376
Come in.
885
01:39:40,126 --> 01:39:44,292
She would be so pleased
to know you have these.
886
01:39:54,709 --> 01:39:57,501
TOKUE
887
01:40:00,709 --> 01:40:02,209
And this, too.
888
01:40:04,167 --> 01:40:05,834
Tokue...
889
01:40:08,376 --> 01:40:12,292
She gave me this
before they took her to the hospital.
890
01:40:16,084 --> 01:40:20,292
She said it was for the boss
and Wakana.
891
01:40:40,709 --> 01:40:42,709
Is it recording?
892
01:40:44,126 --> 01:40:45,959
It seems to be.
893
01:40:47,251 --> 01:40:53,917
I'm not sure that this will get to you,
but I hope so.
894
01:40:56,292 --> 01:40:58,126
First, Wakana.
895
01:40:58,917 --> 01:41:02,501
I have to apologise to you.
896
01:41:08,167 --> 01:41:12,917
I promised to take care of Marvy,
897
01:41:14,001 --> 01:41:18,667
but in fact I quickly let him go.
898
01:41:20,001 --> 01:41:23,376
As I listened to him sing,
899
01:41:23,501 --> 01:41:30,792
I realised he was telling me,
”Let me go. ”
900
01:41:32,251 --> 01:41:34,084
Forgive me.
901
01:41:37,959 --> 01:41:44,251
As you know,
I didn't have any children.
902
01:41:45,584 --> 01:41:50,959
I became pregnant,
but I wasn't allowed to have the baby.
903
01:41:57,876 --> 01:42:01,959
When I first saw you, boss,
904
01:42:02,084 --> 01:42:08,792
it was on my weekly walk,
drawn by the sweet fragrance in the air.
905
01:42:10,001 --> 01:42:13,834
There I saw your face.
906
01:42:14,709 --> 01:42:18,917
Your eyes were very sad.
907
01:42:20,334 --> 01:42:25,834
It was a gaze that made me
want to ask you,
908
01:42:25,959 --> 01:42:28,417
"Why do you suffer so?"
909
01:42:32,042 --> 01:42:35,834
Because I once had a gaze like that.
910
01:42:38,167 --> 01:42:43,917
It was the look I had when I thought
I'd never go outside the fence.
911
01:42:58,334 --> 01:43:02,584
It was as if I was drawn
to your shop,
912
01:43:02,709 --> 01:43:05,834
when I found myself standing there.
913
01:43:11,917 --> 01:43:17,209
If my child had been born,
914
01:43:18,417 --> 01:43:24,376
it would now be
about your age, boss.
915
01:43:29,292 --> 01:43:31,459
You know, boss,
916
01:43:31,584 --> 01:43:37,501
the full moon whispered to me
that day,
917
01:43:39,376 --> 01:43:42,334
"I wanted you to see me.
918
01:43:44,334 --> 01:43:47,334
"That's why I was shining."
919
01:44:01,251 --> 01:44:03,834
We can't have graves.
920
01:44:05,959 --> 01:44:08,792
So when any one of us dies,
921
01:44:10,459 --> 01:44:13,167
we plant one tree.
922
01:44:21,042 --> 01:44:23,917
This is Tokue's tree.
923
01:44:29,834 --> 01:44:33,459
We all agreed to plant a cherry tree.
924
01:44:33,584 --> 01:44:37,126
She loved cherry blossoms so much.
925
01:46:09,042 --> 01:46:11,209
You know, boss...
926
01:46:13,834 --> 01:46:18,292
We were born into this world
927
01:46:18,417 --> 01:46:21,376
to see it and to listen to it.
928
01:46:23,376 --> 01:46:28,126
I think, whatever we become...
929
01:46:30,584 --> 01:46:35,709
...we have, each one of us has,
930
01:46:35,834 --> 01:46:40,292
meaning in our lives.
931
01:48:36,084 --> 01:48:37,542
Dorayaki!
932
01:48:39,084 --> 01:48:41,084
Come and get them!
933
01:48:47,042 --> 01:48:48,459
Dorayaki!
934
01:48:50,292 --> 01:48:52,084
Come and get them!
