All over Tokyo, final preparations
of the Olympic facilities are underway.

On the 23rd of this month,

the opening ceremony far
the Olympic Park will be held.

The National Stadium,
the main Olympic venue,

and the Yoyogi Stadium with its radical
design will open at the end of August.

The Budokan, with its
traditional Japanese design,

will be completed by mid-September.

The facilities, which will be the pride
of Tokyo, will soon take their bows.

Next up is more Olympic news.

Today is going to be such fun!

My husband always has to have his way...

Hey Kenji, bring
the battery charger.

My turn next!

You're so bad at that.

Welcome home, Junnosuke

I'll carry that.

You should rest

I wish my husband would do that.

Honey!

Honey, it's here.

It's here?

We kept you waiting

I waited! Bring it in!

Hello.

Everyone!

A television has finally
arrived in our home!

Now we can watch the Olympics!

It's just a black and white TV.

We've got one at home.

Excuse us

lppei, we have one
for your house, too.

Dad! It's here.

Oh, it's here!
Plug it in, plug ii in!

Tomoe!

Slowly, slowly.

Don't drop it!

You bought such
an expensive one!

It's color!

It's Hyokkori island!

It's color!

My husband just can't live
without the latest gadget!

Hey, Literature.

Come over to watch
the Olympics in color

I don't care about the Olympics.

It's just a glorified
track and field meet.

Only the lower classes are interested
in competitions.

Japan's making too much of a fuss
What a bore.

Let's so fly this.

Watch this.

Wow!

ALWAYS - San Chome No Yuhi '64

Good morning.

Good morning.

Not that one, Kenji.

The 3/8 socket wrench...

is this one.

How many times do
I have to tell you?

I'm sorry, mentor.

You, too, Mr. President.

You always have to put tools
back where they belong.

You lose time looking for tools
and set behind.

Everyone wants their own car
so we're going to be really busy.

Sorry.

She's scary.

No one will marry her.

That's not true, she's gotten
so fashionable these days

I don't see it.

Every morning she sets dressed up
and goes out somewhere.

She does?

Didn't you notice?

I think she must have morning dates
with someone nice.

No, not that.

Thai doesn't have
anything to do with it

I'm sorry.

It can't be true...

I hope it looks like Hiromi,
whether it's a boy or a girl.

Should you still be working?

I'm fine, I love to work.

In the end, Literature is making
his wife work for him.

For just a little while,
his books sold, but...

He can't afford
that second floor he built, right?

Keep that up and
I won't let you drink.

Sorry, sorry, he's really great.

The famed author of
"The Boy's Adventure Book".

It's all because of your support for him
Cheers to his wife!

I'd work hard if I had
a wife like her, too.

The famed author returns.

He's so scary...

Minoru, The Galaxy Boy.

Oh, it's hopeless!

The Virus by Midorinuma Akira.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I disturbed your homework.

Are you reading "The Virus"
by Midorinuma Akira?

I was asked for rewrites
because of this.

They said I have to write
in a fresh style.

It's not that easy to write
in a new style.

Besides, what's so great about
this stupid novel!

He's no competition for you

I know.

His work is all about
brute force.

His writing is crude
and tasteless.

It's just showy and there's
no real structure.

With his approach, he'll eventually
run out of steam.

This month's "Minoru,
The Galaxy Boy" was fantastic.

Next month, "Minoru"
will definitely win.

Besides, you're the famed author
of "The Boy's Adventure Book".

Famed author, huh...

That idiot!

He's at it again!

Ippei! Stop it!

Ippei!

Stop that monster cat wailing!

Suzuki Auto!

Do something about your brat!
It's so loud, I can't work!

Don't call my son a brat!

Our Junnosuke is cramming
for Tokyo University!

He's far superior to your son.

How dare you!

Junnosuke is well on his way
to becoming an elite!

Stop trying to drag him down!

The hell!

In that case, let me tell you.

Ippei's going to take over
my growing Suzuki Auto!

He could overtake your
"elite" kid any day.

"Three cheers

for the hard workers!"

- You.
- You.

- Brat!
- Brat!

"The many faces of the Olympics."

"Oh, those many faces..."

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's getting hot, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

See you.

'Your kiss makes me sigh..."

He's a cute boy.

"A girl's heart,

dreaming of sweet love..."

I want you to know, there's nothing
going on with Dr, Kikuchi.

Dr. Kikuchi? He's a doctor?

He's a doctor
at Bontendo Hospital

I used to so there
It's a nice big hospital.

You're after the big same.

It's not like that.

He treated me once, when I burned
my hand, working here.

Why don't you so for it
and make a pass?

Make a pass?

Like dropping your handkerchief

on purpose, when you
walk past him.

Don't be foolish

I'm content to greet him
once in a while.

It's not trendy to be shy

I have to remember my station.

He's way beyond my reach.

Please leave me alone.

And don't say anything
to the president and his wife!

Sure, sure

I guess I should mind
my own business...

My laundry sets dirty as soon
as I hang it, these days.

It's that awful smog.

Three tofu.

"Sexy!"

You're too young for that sons.

"Shey!"

Run!

What is that...

Okajima Motor's daughter eloped
with the printer's employee.

That quiet girl?

They brought her right back
but it caused an awful fuss.

Young people are
so dramatic these days.

You're not like that,
are you, Roku?

Me?

Of course not, Mr. President,
what are you thinking?

What happened to that
cook's apprentice?

You mean, Takeo?

He's like my younger brother.

Don't be ridiculous.

Yeah, you're right!

What a ridiculous idea!

Excuse me!

My car has engine trouble

I'll go.

Thanks.

We'll eat.

Honey, do you know "Shey?"

What's that?

Again.

Is that a Soviet gymnast?

Where is it?

Over here.

It suddenly failed.

Hey.

Hey, hey

I knew it.

So, that's where you work.

It's fixed.

You look like a raccoon.

Thanks.
What do I owe you?

It was nothing
The distributor cord was loose.

Bye then.

Wait.

Then, let me take you out to tea
to thank you.

The Fruits Parlor in Ginza.

Are you off on Sunday?

I'll call you later.

Suzuki Auto
TEL 445-6868

See you.

Thank you.

Hey Roku.

Take a look at this.

Thanks.

Yes, Suzuki Auto.

What? You want to talk to Roku?

First tell me who you are.

You're Kikuchi?

I don't know any Kikuchi.

Hey, Roku.

You know any Kikuchi?

Um... I wonder who that is...

Doesn't know you.

He asked for you so I hung up.

What a strange call.

Who could it be?

How strange

I'm so sorry
My president is like that.

He's so scary
You've got it rough

I'm so sorry.

About tomorrow...

If you're not buying,
keep your dirty hands off!

Shut up, idiot!

Mr. Chagawa.

Telegram!

Hurry up and hand it over! When
did you start delivering telegrams?

I changed jobs.

Hurry up and go go!

Did you set news?

It's nothing.

It's ridiculous

I'm sorry I said you looked
like a raccoon yesterday

I wasn't making fun of you, I thought
you were really charming.

Charming?

Women are going to start
working more.

But you're much more than an OL.

An "OL?"

An Office Lady.

They used to call them
"Business Girls".

But a magazine auditioned
new names and picked OL.

Who knows if it will stick.

Let me see your arm.

There's a scar, isn't there?

It's all right.

These people are called
"The Miyuki Tribe".

They're so fashionable.

Next, let's buy
an air conditioner.

That's too much of a luxury.

We haven't even paid off
the color TV yet.

The broadcasts are mostly
in black and white, anyway.

The young "Miyuki Tribe"
who suddenly appeared on Ginza,

strut down the Ginza
as though they own it.

Young people these days...

The postwar generation
is hopeless.

They stop at nothing
to be fashionable

and wander around aimlessly
doing nothing...

That's Roku...

I saw Roku with a man...

Roku, a Miyuki Tribe?

It's a mistake
I didn't go to Ginza today.

Of course.

Of course.

Honey, no fists. Ok?

I know that

I know.

Hey, Ippei!

Stop playing that useless
electric guitar!

Useless?

You don't help out in the shop
Stop playing electric guitar.

Stay out of it.

If you've got the time,
learn the family business.

Nonsense

I'm not taking over
this crappy repair shop.

Crappy repair shop?!

He's fast.

Sunshine Brothers
Special Open Rehearsal

Mizuno Icehouse

Maybe I'll quit this band

I want my guitar back.

Hey wait.

We were just off today.

But we can't just
mess around forever.

But...

Besides, with you playing
lead guitar...

What's that?

You're never going to be a star

I don't need you guys
telling me that.

The real wasted talent
is you, Junnosuke.

Why'd you stop writing novels?

The writer's life is unstable
You can't count on book sales.

Chagawa told me
to lead a steady life.

But, still...

I want to pay back the two people
who raised me.

For that,
I need a steady income.

You always had talent
even as a kid.

Sorry I'm not talented!

You're always here.

Just making sure

no one steals any.

What's the point of having
a vending machine, then?

Don't get so mad.

He's right.

Thanks for your business.

Now scram!

Sosin Publishing

I was in the neighborhood,

so I dropped in to discuss
the next issue.

Thank you.

How do you like my "Minoru"
rewrites?

It's certainly a fresh style.

But I feel you lost
something essential.

You asked me to make it fresh.

You're right.

You're right, but...

Did you read Midorinuma's
"The Virus?"

Yes, I did

I read it,

but frankly, it's awful.

How can I say it,
it's tasteless

I think tastefulness is
important for children.

- That's shortsighted...
- But,

it's popular.

Look.
These are all fan letters.

In one month?

We get this weekly.

Weekly?

It's extraordinary.

"The Virus" has something
totally different,

a feeling that's brand new.

Don't you agree?

As you know, since shifting
our focus to manga.

"The Boy's Adventure Books"
has become wildly popular.

Thanks to you,

we're a major magazine, now.

Some of the editors
are crudely demanding

that we switch
to an all-manga format...

I'm opposed to that.

There's fiction plus manga.

That balance makes
"The Boy's Adventure Books" great.

Exactly!

- Yet.
- Yet?

But the editors all agree
we only need one fiction series.

Wait a minute.

Does that mean you either dump
"Minoru" or "The Virus?"

Oh, no!

You're home.

He's slender and has long legs.

Like a Japanese Alain Delon.

Who is?

Midorinuma!

He assisted some
famous writer forever,

so he debuted as a mature writer.

Midorinuma has everything
going for him!

I've got to do something.

Hiromi, get a postcard
No, stationery.

What is going on?

Junnosuke! Come down here!

It's the fan letter wars!

Write lots of letters saying
"Minoru" is great, he's the best!

You help, too.

Midorinuma gets an incredible
number of fan letters.

Minoru can't lose out.

And change your handwriting
each time.

You're faking fan letters?

I have no choice!

Listen, from now on
it's a winner-take-all world.

Only results count.

If I can't prove that
"Minoru" is still popular,

they might end the series.

Then, who's going to pay
your tuition?

It's Tokyo University, right?

Then don't be naive,
start writing.

But...

We haven't even paid off
building the second floor.

We made your own room
so you could concentrate.

All of that will so
down the drain.

Help me if you understand.

All right, forget it.

Go back to studying.

But I won't forgive you if you
don't get into Tokyo University.

Ok.

Hiromi, get with it
and get me stationery.

Bring everything from my drawer.

Honey, I found something odd.

What does this mean?

Father dying
Come home now.

That doesn't matter.

Of course it does.

It's from the day
before yesterday.

You have to go now!

Leave me alone.

You know I was disowned
I don't have a father.

This isn't the time for that
It says he's dying.

He won't be happy to see me.

He thinks novelists
are like gangsters.

He's just an eccentric,

who thinks he's a local celebrity
That's what my father is like.

He's not my business.

Hiromi?

Go to him.

Go to him now.

I...

couldn't be with my father
when he died.

I swear you'll regret it.

Please.

Hello.

Is anyone home?

Um, who are you?

It's been a while.

It's me, Ryunosuke.

Oh, my, it's Ryu.

It's been so long.

I know I've been away.

Your father will be thrilled.

Come inside.

It's your house. after all.

How is Dad?

Until a few days ago.
he was in terrible shape

I sent you the telegram

because the doctor told me
to be prepared.

But he's rallied.

Men of my generation are strong.

Who's that?

Rintaro, it's Ryu.

Who's that?

It's Ryu

I have no son!

This is my house

I didn't give you permission
to come in! Get out!

I sent for him
You must listen, Rintaro...

I said get out!

I understand

I'll leave.

Ryu!

But I'll tell you one thing!

I became a novelist.

The novelist you swore
I could never become!

I know, I buy it every month...

Trash!

What?

It's trash to trick children with.

You don't write novels!

What do you know about novels!

What do you know!

Stop! He's a sick man

I should never have come back.

To hell with him!

It's such a beautiful fall day,
it seems all

the blue skies in the world
are in Tokyo.

It's October 70th, 1964.

Colorful flags from every nation
adorn the National Stadium.

Athletes from 94 countries
are lined up on the green grass.

And 75,000 spectators hold
their breath, staring up at the sky.

Five Blue Impulse fighter jets are about

to paint the sky with
the brilliant five Olympic rings.

The pilots are the elite pilots from
the Hamamatsu Self Defense force.

They're such good drivers!

They are simply brilliant!

Go Blue Impulse!

Go around and around!

Stop being so proud.

We can watch on our own TV.

Color TVs just rob
your imagination.

You imagine the colors
in your head, based on

shades of black and white
That's true pleasure.

The planes' vapor trails may be
in the five Olympic colors.

Hey, Suzuki Auto!

Suzuki Auto, get out here!

It's more amazing
than Color TV!

What's he talking about?

Hurry up!

What?

Look up, up!

Hurry!

I found it!

Better than Color TV!

So huge!

Amazing.

What is it?

This whole area was
burned out in the war.

There was nothing to eat.

And now look at this
So many buildings so up.

And the world's greatest
Tokyo Tower soars.

And finally, it's the Olympics!

Yes, finally,
it's the Olympics!

It's the Tokyo Olympics!

Bontendo Hospital

I'm removing it.

That Dr. Kikuchi is sure
good looking.

He looks like a movie star.

You think?

What's he like?

Actually,

he's on nice terms
with a girl I know

I should mind my own business
but I can't help myself

I'm not really...

supposed to say this, but...

Say, Yoko and Fumi
How about dinner tonight?

No?

Since the Olympics started,
there are so many foreigners

I never saw foreigners until
I came to Tokyo,

so I'm still not used to them

I have no idea...

They wanted to go to the Kabuki.

You're so mean!

Ouch, ouch!

You got to talk to foreigners.

Thank you so much.

Sorry.

Let's take a vacation together.

A vacation?

Overnight, to the beach.

Overnight?

Yeah.

Think it over.

Bontendo Hospital

All I hear are bad rumors.

He was already fired
from two hospitals.

His father is a doctor,
but he's spoiled rotten.

Everyone gossips how he
gets fired over women trouble.

He's got girlfriends all over.

And maybe even ties
to gangsters.

Gangsters?

I'll be frank.

He's toying with you.

It's hard for you.

But you have to forget him.

Hey, Doctor.

Everyone's waiting
Come this way.

The Doctor's here.

Doctor!

Hey, sister, what's up?

To Chagawa Ryunasuke.

Is that for "Minoru?"

Yes...

A sudden surge in fan letters.

Yes.

Maybe he's writing them himself.

Don't be so rude.

Guess he hasn't fallen that low.

In his own way,
he tried new approaches.

New approaches, huh.

More like straying off course.

They've already decided, right?

Yeah, I have to go tell him
right away.

But,

the one who sealed his fate is
that Midorinuma, right?

It's bad, right?

Don't say that out loud!

It's still a secret.

Hello!

I'll kill you if you lose!

The judges have ruled and
Watanabe is the winner.

Watanabe won a medal.

Hey, Watanabe won!

Watanabe is so strong.

What's wrong?

Yes, he's so strong.

Roku, are you Ok.

Me?

What about?

He's fine

I'm so sorry.

But,

it's popular again, right?

My last one was really good.

You got a lot of fan letters,
didn't you?

You mean these?

Really.

You mustn't do this.

You can't do this.

You're home.

Oh, no.

You look like a rag doll

I need a drink.

What's wrong?

Hurry up.

Midorinuma beat me.

They're ending
the Minoru series.

"The Virus" pushed me out.

Damn it to hell! How dare he!

Plot Ideas By Junnosuke.

The Virus.

By Midurinuma Akira

I'm glad your boss
didn't answer.

Did you think about
our vacation?

About that...

I'm not sure I can Set
the time off.

Good evening.

Good evening

I can't believe
how foolish I am

I know that

I know he's awful

I know he's just playing.

But...

What's happened to me?

That's what love is like.

How does he seem to you?

Will there be a scar?

A burn, a wound,

a stain, a wrinkle.

They're all proof of life lived well.
So I think they're beautiful.

To me, he's still
a wonderful person.

In that case,
you should trust that.

Even if I'll regret it?

Then, you'll just
give up on him?

What should I do?

Make your own decision.

That way, no matter what
happens, you won't regret ii.

Vacation?

Honey!

You're impossible

I'd like to take
a rare overnight

vacation with my
hometown friend Yasue.

Rooms are vacant
because of the Olympics.

The shop can't function
without you.

Yes, you're right.

You go enjoy yourself, Roku.

Oh, let her go.
She's overworked.

She seems a little tired recently.

She deserves a little time off.

Thank you, so much.

This is no good.

How's your homework?

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

That's not good enough.

Why are you writing a novel?

Do you know what stage
you're in?

If you don't work hard now,
you won't set in to Tokyo Univ.

How many times

have I told you
not to become a novelist.

Why don't you understand?

But...

Don't "but" me.

Look at me.

Clinging desperately to fiction

I write stuff no one
may publish,

and waste my life away.

Honestly, I might as well
be doing nothing.

She keeps me.

My pregnant wife feeds me.

Do you have any idea
how pathetic

that is?

Do you want to be like me?

And you're just
imitating Midorinuma.

It's not an imitation.

Don't lie to me.

The style and everything is
exactly like him. Pathetic.

It's me

I'm...

Midorinuma...

What are you talking about?

The Virus by Midurinuma.

So...

You're the one

writing "The Virus"?

Yes.

So you mean...

I worked so hard for you...

Of all people,

I got kicked off of "The Boy's
Adventure Book" because of you?

It's not what I intended

I just sent it in for fun
and this is how it turned out

I've been meaning to tell you.

But things got out of hand

I just couldn't tell you.

But if that puts you in trouble

I can stop writing "The Virus!"

Don't ridicule me!

Is that pity?

You pity me?

Cut the crap!

Why are you still writing?

You've been pretending to study
this whole time,

when you've actually
been writing this?

I'm sorry.

Why can't you understand
what I'm saying?

If you go to Tokyo university
and get into a good company,

you can live a happy life.

But I want to write...

You've seen my life.

You of all people know
the misery I've endured.

Sure, "The Virus" is popular.

Right now, you're a star.

But,

if it stops selling.
they'll throw you out.

You're smart enough to so
to Tokyo University.

Why do you have to deliberately

choose an unstable life?

I don't want you

to suffer like me.

Stop, please!

You are forbidden to write.

Throw all these out

I'll tell the editors.

What's wrong?

You've got a sour face on.

Or is that normal?

Shut up.

It's so true that kids have no clue
how their parents struggle.

Yes.

They sure don't.

Ippei ridicules my work.

Junnosuke is trying to follow
my line of work.

That's just fine.

No, it's not.

What if, what if,

your son Ippei was so smart

he could so to any college,

but told you he was deliberately
choosing a life of struggle.

What would you do?

For instance?

Well...

For instance, taking over
Suzuki Auto

I'd be thrilled.

In the end, kids grow up
looking up to their parents.

And he wants to take after
your line of work, that's great!

That's why I hate the common folk
with low ambitions.

Listen, think it over.

If Ippei had the brains
to get into Tokyo University...

No way! I can't imagine that.

You're right, I'm sorry
I shouldn't have asked you.

Don't apologize

I'll go home, get drunk
and go to bed.

Where were you! Here!

Father passed
Come home now.

He croaked.

Should you be here?

I just came to clean up.

We'll burn him, send him off
and it's all over.

Don't talk like that.

If he only knew you have
such a pretty wife

with a grandchild on the way,
he would have been so happy.

Cut it out, he would've just
made nasty cracks.

Rintaro was

a huge fan of Ryu's.

You don't need to comfort me.

He bought every magazine
and read it all

I don't believe you.

Five years ago,

you were nominated
for the literary prize.

When you got nominated,

he bought up an arm full
of those magazines

and handed them out
to the neighbors.

He told them,
my son wrote this.

"I'm sure he'll win the prize."

He was really upset
when you didn't win.

Rintaro was your biggest fan.

But... he disowned me.

It's not true.

You remember, Auntie.

He hit me saying I wasn't his son
anymore and kicked me out.

He didn't mean it.
It was an act.

What do you mean?

He always used to say.

The life of a writer is tough.

You have to live with
your back against the wall.

He just pretended to disown you.

It was the only way
he could support you.

It was just like him.

But I guess he hoped
you'd came home someday.

He kept your room
as you left it.

Go for Tokyo University.

Boy's Adventure Book.

A rich imagination.

It's a long series
but always gripping.

Can't wait for the next
imaginative installment.

Junsei' Journal.

"The Dancer."
His best work ever.

Losing steam.
Hang in there.

I fear he'll lose readers.

You!

Told me I wasn't
your son anymore!

That's what you said!

You told me to stop
indulging myself!

Now it's too late!

You just up and died!

What am I supposed to do?

Story Ideas
Chagawa Ryunusuke.

Daddy...

Maybe I never gave up
because of my dad.

To tell you the truth

there were so many times
I considered

giving up being a writer.

But every time,

I'd see his face

and hang in there.

Please wait.

Go home.

Can't I please ask you
to reconsider?

I told you over and over
I've given up writing.

Forget about me.

Seeing the Olympics in the stadium
was great, but why soccer?

They were the only tickets
I could get.

They hardly score
What's the point!

It'll never catch on here.

You're right.

It's Roku.

She got in.

She's gone.

Granny, pack of Highlights.

Sure.

There he is!

Suzuki Auto!

We saw Roku!

She took an overnight trip
for a vacation.

A trip?

Overnight?

that's ok?

She's at an age where
she wants to have fun.

You're awfully progressive,
aren't you?

So who is that young man?

Young man?

The one she went with.

Are we there yet?

I have to confess

I didn't have an accidental
breakdown that time

I looked up your work address
on your hospital chart

and faked a breakdown.

On safety rounds.

Perfect timing!

How do we request a search?

Is someone missing?

No, no, we're fine.
It's nothing.

Here.

Calm down! Roku is fine!

But still!

She was too far in love.

Granny!

Why didn't you tell us sooner!

I'm on the side of youth.

Mentor!

They know.

You're supposed to come, too.

Kotaro, run!

Run? I won't run or hide.

When the president gets mad,
all hell breaks loose.

Don't be so dramatic.
Let's go.

You dirty rotten slimebag!

How dare you seduce Roku!

Stop it, Honey!

President!

Stay out of it!

Listen to me!

I will not! You lied to me!

I apologize for that
But still...

Roku, when did you become
such a loose girl?

I haven't done what you think!

It's my fault!
I told her to follow her heart!

Move!

Don't be rough with a woman!

Don't put on airs!

If getting violent will
make you feel better,

be as violent as you want!

Stop acting like an actor!

We know about

who you really are!

Hiromi!

Look what you did!

I didn't touch her!

Suzuki Auto!

Hiromi!

Go get the midwife!

Ippei! Get Dr. Takuma!

Right!

Hold on, Hiromi!

Junnosuke. take care of her!

Are you Ok? Ok?

Hey. hey!

I'm a surgeon, but
I've delivered babies.

Take her inside.

Slowly, slowly.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

How are you'!

I feel better

I think she'll be fine.

The baby was probably surprised
and kicked.

Sorry.

You better be.

He's here!

I'm sorry.
She seems fine.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Sorry to trouble you.

Thank you, Dr. Kikuchi.

Back to Roku's business...
Are you listening?

Say, Dr. Takuma.

It's you, Kotaro.

It's been a long time.

What is this?

Oh...

You know him?

Since when he was this tall.

His father was ahead of me
in med school.

Why are you here?

He's Roku's boyfriend

I see.

That's great.

It's not great.

This man seduced
a nice young lady

and took her on a trip!

I'm very sorry about that

I should have asked
your permission.

Roku is a precious girl
who's in our care.

Where did you take her!

To my parents' home in Chiba.

Parents' home?

I was surprised, too.

He introduced me to his father.

My father runs a clinic
in a small village in Chiba.

Someday, I plan to
take over his position.

It's so remote

the only saving grace
is the local people's devotion

1 won't teach
at medical school,

or give her a life of luxury,

but if she'd be happy...

Hey, hey, not so fast!

Where are you going with that?

I officially proposed
to Mutsuko.

By propose, you mean!

So, you're serious about her?

Of course.

When I saw her working hard,
covered in oil,

I knew she was the one for me.

Not so fast!
I won't be tricked!

We know all about you.

You're a hopeless womanizer
who gets fired from hospitals!

You're wrong. President.

What have I got wrong?

Mutsuko...

Kotaro.

You should tell them the truth.

You can trust these people

I'll tell them, then.

Suzuki.

Kotaro is active in
free clinic services.

Free clinic services?

He acts as a free clinic
for people

who don't have the money or
insurance to go to a hospital.

Most hospitals forbid it.

Only volunteer doctors
are quietly involved.

Actually, I'm one, too.

Thanks, Doctor.

Try to stay healthy, now.

We see orphans, the homeless,
even prostitutes sometimes.

His former hospital found out
about his activities

and they fired him.

This isn't what you told me

I just told you what I heard...

I'm sure it's hard for you

at your current hospital.

Apparently there's gossip.

I try to be friendly
to stop them, but...

But Kotaro refuses to stop

I can't abandon those in need.

He's a wonderful man!

Roku, you were right
to believe in him.

But...

Before you set a word in edgewise.

Go old man, go old man.

Shut up!

Suzuki, I guarantee.

Kotaro is the perfect
young man for Roku.

But getting married...

Well, actually...

Unfortunately.

You turned him down?

Why?

You love him?

I'm a Suzuki Auto employee.

When I came here.
President told me

he would make this a
world famous company.

And he asked for my help.

But I haven't kept
that promise yet

I haven't paid you back yet.

So I can't get married

I'm so sorry,

that I made you worry

I'm terribly sorry.

You Ok?

There is blood

I'm fine.

See you.

Let me just say one thing.

Right now, everyone
is looking to set ahead.

Everyone wants to live
the good life.

It's true for doctors.

They're all looking
to set ahead.

But Kikuchi doesn't live
his life that way

I wondered why, so I asked him

I'm an old-timer.

But why a youngster like him,

doesn't want to set ahead.

He told me that it's
because he's happy.

He'd rather see

a look of relief on someone's face
than become rich.

What is the meaning
of happiness?

A young man like him
is hard to find these days.

You should think about
what's best for them.

Excuse me, now.

Hiromi!

Chagawa, Hiromi's fine

I couldn't find her anywhere!
I finally found her,

playing mahjong!

But everything's ok
now, Hiromi!

What do you mean?

I'm not needed...

Don't panic!

Thank goodness.

Honey.

Seeing Roku today,

reminded me of when
I married you.

The war was just over then

and we had nothing.

But I was happy

I was surprised being with the man
I love made me so happy.

Then Ippei was born

and you worked hard
and built this.

Looking back, we've
done really well.

Well...

I could do all this
because I had you all.

It's wonderful to find someone
you want to be with.

And Roku found
that special person.

But you know...

Honey.

It's too soon.

It's true,

it's a little sudden.

But...

we'd better be prepared.

It's Roku's turn
to make her own family.

Dr. Takuma was

wondering what happiness means.

That maybe it's more
than about just

making money or
being successful.

That's what he said.

What are you saying?

I'm happy.

What is it?

How's the studying going?

I'll do it

I took a little detour,
but it's not too late.

Just watch me
get into Tokyo University.

Swish, swish, swimming
through he waves.

Swish, swish, swish.

Soaring through the clouds.

Soar, soar, soar.

The Olympics are on again
so we can't watch Hyokkori' island

I'm sick of the Olympics

I'm sick of it

I talked it over
with my husband.

Kikuchi,

You're not taking over your father's
clinic right away, are you?

No, I plan to stay here
and study for a while.

How about if Roku
works for us until then...

Would that work out?

What do you mean?

That you get married
and be his wife,

but still work for us
for a while.

Is that possible?

That's the new era.

If you wait for our company
to be world famous,

you'll become a grandmother.

What we both want more
than anything

is for you to be happy.

But Kenji's still just barely
learning the ropes.

Mentor!

I'll work harder at
learning the ropes.

Soon, I'll be as good
as you are.

So please don't worry.

Please trust me.

Kenji.

Dear. say something.

Dear

I never thought ii would
happen so fast.

It feels like you just
came here

I thought a young woman
wanting to learn auto repair

must be really committed.

Everyone opposed but
I hired her.

But she thought
it was a desk job.

She didn't even know
what a jack was.

She was so full of herself

and had cheeks like apples.

She got sick eating
cream puffs...

Hey, Kikuchi.

Yes.

Kikuchi.

Yes!

I'll kill you

I don't mind going to jail.

If you...

If you don't make Roku happy

I will kill you!

I will make her happy

I swear

on my own life

I'll make Mutsuko happy.

In that case

she's yours.

Thank you!

Tomoe! Let's drink!
Bring the whiskey!

Drink.

Thank you!

Tasty!

Hey...

Hate to spoil
a dramatic moment,

but isn't it up to Roku's
parents in Aomori

to decide whether Roku
can marry him?

What right do you guys have?

I guess he's right...

No.

You two are

my Tokyo parents.

Thank you so much

I promise

to be happy!

Kept you waiting.

You've been stalking Junnosuke?

I'm sorry, I couldn't give up.

But, I'll slop.

His resolve is strong

I've learned that the hard way.

He keeps repeating, "I only got
this far because of that man"

I didn't know the situation,

and so I thought you were
really father and son.

But when I asked,

he said you adopted him
when he was little.

He seems to feel a great
debt towards you for that.

That's why...

He absolutely refuses
to do anything

against your wishes.

Please excuse

my ignorance.

Tomioka

I have a request.

It's starting!
The Witch of the East! Finals.

Hurry, hurry!

I have to study.

Oh! Take tonight off
and cheer with us.

But...

The Soviets are strong
They need us all to cheer!

No, they can't beat Japan!

Where are you going?

Across the street.

This match is
in black and white!

No point watching
it on a Color TV.

It's fun to watch it together
We have to cheer together.

You come, too!

You're right.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Come in!

Move over!
Get with it and move!

Quiet! It's starting!

Go! Japan! Guts!

What is it?

- It started.
- Yeah, it started!

A rolling receive!

No, my labor started.

Oh, labor...

Labor attack!

Labor!

Labor!

Is it being born?

I think.

It hurts...

The midwife!

Junnosuke, bring Granny!

Hiromi, don't push yet.

Hold on, hold on!

- What about boiling water!
- Boil water!

Boil water!

I brought him.

How is she?

Any minute now.

Chagawa, it'll be fine.

That's right
In addition to the midwife,

there's a pediatrician
and a surgeon standing by.

An unbeatable team!

Just like the Olympics!

Another breath!

Hang in there!

Push!

Go. guts!

Attack!

Attack!

She's a healthy girl.

Hiromi.

Want to see?

It's a girl.

You worked hard

I'm your daddy.

Junnosuke.

He's your brother.

Banzai!

Banzai!

Did we win volleyball?

Hey, taxi's here!

Wait just a few minutes!

You're perfect.

Thank you so much.

Time passes so quickly.

A girl with red cheeks
came from Aomori,

just the other day.

But suddenly she's so beautiful.

And now she's a bride.

Indeed.

Roku.

Please accept this.

But I can't.

It's nothing that fancy.

But my mother save it
to me when

I married into this family.

I don't have a daughter.

I only have him.

So I'd decided I wanted you
to have it when you got married.

Will you take it?

Thank you.

Today's the first day
of your new family.

But remember.

You'll always be a part
of our family, too.

Thank you...

Coming in.

What are you doing?
The taxi's waiting.

Oh, dear.

Mr. and Mrs. president!

What are you up to?

Mr. and Mrs' president

I was an inept daughter.

Thank you so much

for taking care of me.

It's such a beautiful day.

Putting on airs setting
married in a church.

They're Buddhist.

Why, it's lovely.
I wanted a church wedding.

Congratulations!

So good looking!

Don't cry, you're a man.

- I'm not crying!
- Yes, you are.

I'm not crying!
Congratulations!

Why are we throwing rice
at them?

This wasn't a take home gift...

Good evening.

Why, if it isn't Tomioka.

What brings you?

If you had called,
I would have visited.

Hiromi, make some tea.

It's small, but please, come in.

What brings you?

You want a new series?

I've got a great idea,
perfect for kids.

- There are these fairies.
- Actually...

I came about Midorinuma.

Things are exactly as
I explained to you before.

Junnosuke will go to Tokyo University
and join a major corporation.

Can't you give up?

I can't let him throw his life away
because of passing fame.

But Junnosuke wants to write.

Man, you never give up!

I've checked with
Junnosuke himself.

He promised that

he's given up writing for good.

But that's not how
he really feels.

Are you envious of his talent?

How insulting! Stop joking!

It's what he wants!

Junnosuke!
Come here!

You clearly promised me, right?

You were aiming for university.

You gave up writing for good.

Midorinuma maestro.

Staying here will rot
your talent.

We have room in
the company dormitory.

Please feel free to use it.

How dare you!

Make up your mind!

It's because you can't

that this jerk comes around
sweet talking,

trying to steer you down
the wrong path.

They won't take
any responsibility.

Puff you up while you're hot
and toss you when you're not.

I'm saying make up your mind!

Words cannot express
the debt I owe you...

I'm not asking you about that.

I'm asking you how
you really feel.

You agree with me, right?

So just tell him yourself.

Otherwise, this guy will keep

coming around forever.

I...

Want...

To write

I want to write!

You what!

Say that again...

I understand what you say.

I know that would be
an easier life.

But no matter how hard
I try to believe that,

I can't...

I can't lie to myself.

No matter what I give up,

or if you call me ungrateful,
I want to write!

You say your life
has been miserable.

That it was all hardship.

Then why can't you

give up writing?!

Even if you suffered terribly,

you never gave up writing

because you love it too much!

Why do you keep telling me
that writing is bad!

I don't want to see you
like this!

I always respected you
for never giving it up!

Then why do you say things

you don't even believe!

Please don't pretend
you hate writing!

Don't take writing
away from me!

Enough!

Is that what you truly believe!

Up until now,
you were just pleasing me,

but you were lying to me.

No, I just...

Shut up!

No excuses!

That's just who you are!

You never understood
how I really felt!

That's not true!

Shut up!

I've had it with you!

Get out

I don't want to ever see

your ungrateful face again.

Hurry, get out!

Hurry! Get out of here!

He really left.

Yeah, he left.

It runs in the family.

Junnosuke...

is our precious,

oldest son.

I'm so sorry.
Things turned out like that.

I've never seen him that mad...

He's a horrible man
You're better off without him.

What is it?

Please, stop!

We're off.

Have fun.

Roku, have a "Honey Moon baby?"

I thought you'd perform
to celebrate our wedding

I don't need to.

You should have played

I've given it up.
I'm not musically inclined.

Just take over the shop.

A repair shop isn't cool.

Why? Engineers are cool.

What? Engineers?

Or you could design cars.

Besides...

The girls will go
crazy for you.

No, no, it's not about
getting girls or not...

It's not like that

I'm not basing my life
on something so stupid...

We're off.

Bye, then.

What is it?

I forgot...

This?

You're going to spend

your whole life writing, right?

Yes.

In that case,

this...

Can help point your way.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong.

I'll do my level best
to beat you.

I'll make you regret
from the bottom

of your heart that you
didn't listen to me.

I know.

I know everything
about how you feel.

No matter where I go,

I'm your first disciple.

And I'm part of your family.

Thank you for everything.

I should be thanking you.

You're the one

who dragged me up this far.

What are you staring at?

The sunset.

My favorite sunset.

That sunset

has always watched over me.

It's kind of sad,
with the party all over.

Every party ends.

What happens after the party?

That's...

up to them to figure out.

It's a great idea, right?

You're the engineer
and I'm the designer

I'll design cool cars

and you can make and sell them.

No point in suffering
under my dad forever

I hope he'll be Ok.

Let's trust him.
He's our child.

Chagawa will come after you
He'll try to beat you.

Beware of a writer
with eyes like that.

I know that.

I've watched him
all these years.

It sure will be lonely.

Yes, it will.

But I look forward

to his future.

Hey, I'm not finished yet.

You're right.

Oh...

I wonder if she can already see.

Can you see?

That's our town's sunset.

Isn't it pretty?

I hope you'll be able to see it

when you grow up, too.

And that it will
always be beautiful.

Hurry up!

Wait!
