Ginza street runs from Shinbashi to Kyobashi
We are now passing through Ginza district
This street is known for the willows on its sides
The willows in Ginza is as famous as the buckeyes in Paris
They are an attraction for tourists
Aren't they beautiful under sunlight?
In the evening, the street will be lit up by neon lights
There will be lovely music everywhere
Thank you
Thank you very much
Thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you very much
What are you looking at?
I am so jealous of that old couple
Then you should find a boyfriend
Sorry to keep you waiting
Thank you
Kiyoko keeps turning down everyone after her
She's just pretending to be chaste
No, she used to love someone
What do you know about that girl?
What about the bakery owner you mentioned last time?
He is good at his business and he has made some money
The bread there is tasty and very popular
Nuiko, then you should go talk to him
I wanted too, but it's difficult to...
talk about such things
That's right
Look at this ring
My husband is quite good to me
I can't live without him
I really envy you
Only if I could be like you
What are you talking about?
Your husband is nice too
How many accessories do you have?
Not many, just a few. He said it's not necessary
He's really a bore
This model isn't new right? I'll buy it if there's a discount
Let me try it on, what do you think?
It suits you well, you look younger
How much is it?
Alright, alight, just take it if you like
Really? I'll have it then. I'm leaving
Oh yes, how old is that bakery owner?
35. Not too old, right?
I see, then he's quite suitable
Is Kiyoko coming home today?
Yes, what's the matter?
Mother is looking for her
Really?
What I can help you, mother?
If you really want to help, then get married earlier
I've told you so many times, do I have to talk about it again?
I think a 35-year-old man is quite suitable, please think about it
It's more and more difficult to find a good man
The ratio of men to women is now 1:23, what you gonna do?
I'm not going to do anything
How can you be like this? You keep on being a tour guide
You just said you would help me and all that...
Has Kasuke found a job yet?
He keeps playing Pachinko lately, he's hopeless
He never listens to me
Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine
How can I not worry about him?
He always says he'll change but he never does
You don't want to have a date with Tsunakichi, that bakery owner?
Mother, you really want me to go out with such a frivolous man?
Well, men are all frivolous anyway
You pampers them too much
I can't help it, husband is the one in charge
Mother, today I saw Mitusko's husband with another woman in Ginza
It will make her mad if you tell her
Seems that her business is not doing well
Mitsuko is like your father, she's too weak
My father is not weak
Well, yeah...
I'm back
Welcome back
Why would you have such a friend?
She should have paid her rent by now
It's okay, she must be able to afford it
Kiyoko, you're back
Hello, Kasuke
Where did you go?
Look, this is what I won today
Mother, these are all for you
Want to bribe me with all these?
Mother, where shall I put them?
Anywhere is fine
Kiyoko, have you thought about that bakery owner?
He's nice
What are you talking about?
Go wash it
Kiyoko, are you going to turn him down?
Okay, stop arguing
I'll give you 150 yen later
You don't have to, you're my daughter
Mother, you talk like Buddha
I'm going out
You're still going out?
Poor girl, she still has another job
I want to go learn something too
But you're already 23
Mother
Mother, you were married to four men, right?
Were you happy?
It's not about being happy or not
Seeing mother and my two sisters,
I wonder if marriage really brings happiness
Please don't say that, you are the best among my four children
You must be able to find a good husband
Kiyoko, look, I've always kept this with me
I bought it when you were born
What do you think?
It's too sharp
No, not really, look
You bought so many things for me today, I'm so happy
Really? You look beautiful
You are bad
Then please try to talk to Kiyoko
So you wanted something in return
There's nothing better than what I offer, right?
You know it's a good deal for you
Okay, I'll do as you said
Let's go
Good evening
I'm back
Welcome
My husband has not come back yet
Really?
Will he be caught in some accident?
It's still early now
But he's out for long
He really makes you worry a lot
Have you had dinner yet?
Yes
Mother asked me to go home today
Nuiko was here today
Really? Seeing my mother and Nuiko...
makes me think that marriage is such a misery for women
Not if you are married to a good man
I always thought your brother-in-law is cheated by your elder sister
I do think Nuiko is very fussy
We all have different fathers
A family like ours is rare indeed
Mother is so pathetic
You think so?
How about you, sister? Do you think you're happy?
My husband...
He always leave me to have dinner alone
A woman's life is so boring...
I'd better take a look outside
Good evening, Kiyoko, where's your elder sister?
She has left already
Wasn't she here this morning?
That was this morning
Oh... so where is she now?
Where's Mitsuko?
She just went out
Is there any Sake? I want to have a drink
I guess so?
Here you are
Thank you
Kiyoko, you're really a good girl
I always have to be away from home
You have to be with other women often?
That's business, I can't help it
Thanks for everything
This is the first time my husband stayed out all night
Mitsuko, don't worry, I'll find him today
How would you find him?
On the tour bus, all around Tokyo
What nonsense...
I'm going
Take care
The tall bridge in front of you is Ryogokubashi
This bridge is often mentioned...
in songs, stories and myths
Many different festive activities take place on the sides of the bridge
Thank you
What's the matter with you today? Something wrong?
Something's on my mind
You look strange
Kiyoko, your family called and asked you to go back at once
Really?
He seemed so healthy
You can't be too sure about one's health
When a man's luck is against him...
Life is full of surprises...
Kasuke, please light me a cigarette
When did you start smoking?
I don't feel well
Mother, the soup seems to taste a little plain, let's put some more salt
This bothersome cat
Hey, hey, don't smoke here any more
When are you going to stop?
Isn't that Tsunakichi?
Welcome, please come in
Mother, Tsunakichi is here
Please come in
Good day, I am Tsunakichi
He is that bakery owner
Glad to meet you
Kasuke, come and say hello
Sorry, I didn't help much
It's alright, Nuiko alone is enough
Don't cry any more, your snot is dripping
I have no where to go now
Who's here?
That bakery owner
Kasuke, maybe you can work at his place
It's great if you can come
You could help me a lot
Thanks for taking care of me
Tsunakichi, I'm sorry...
to have bothered you with such things
It's fine, it's fine, it's okay to bother him with trivial things like these
Please don't say that, it's just a small shop
No, no, it's much bigger than our own
Why did you say that? Is our shop so bad?
Am I not telling the truth? You always put up a straight face
Hey, don't go too far
What do you mean by "don't go too far"?
Nuiko really has a sharp tongue
No, not really, let's drink
Kasuke, go get Kiyoko
Please drink some more. It's hot isn't it?
It's so annoying
You mean that man?
I don't even want to talk to him
But he's not going anywhere for now
What kind of man is he?
You can't see a man like him anywhere else
A man that Nuiko likes a lot
Kiyoko
Nuiko is calling for you again
Oh, that's annoying
Kiyoko
Let me take a look
Mitsuko, let me introduce to you, this is Tsunakichi
I am very sorry for your lost
Thank you very much
He just said he would get a job for Kasuke
It's great if I could help
Mitsuko, have a drink too
How come Kiyoko is still not here
Let's have one, Mitsuko
Kiyoko, how can you be so rude?
I don't want to see him
What are you talking about?
He's not the kind of man for me
You're out of your mind, why are you angry?
How can you be so self-willed?
That's annoying... forcing me to drink
I just wanted to have a chat
Let's have some tea
Okay
I heard that your husband had life insurance...
Have you claimed it yet?
Ryuzo, are you urging me now?
Just get what you should get, before things get complicated
Even if I claimed it... where should I live?
We have borrowed a lot of money
I know about the loans
I want to open a coffee shop in Shibuya
Is it Nuiko's idea?
She had a shop already
Would she agree to open a shop there?
That's not a problem
I want to open another shop
We can cooperate
Excuse me, I have to go now
I should be going too
Going so soon? I'll think about what you said
I'll wait until you get your money
Goodbye
Take care
Sister, beware of him
I guess he just wanted to help? I'll be careful
Excuse me
Are you the wife of the shop owner?
Yes
Your husband used to take care of me...
I know it sounds...
very shameless, but...
I've never heard anything about it from my husband
His colleagues told me he's dead, I thought it was a lie
And then I wander around and arrived here
I never thought such a thing would happen
My husband never said he took care of you
I have a letter that your husband wrote to me
Please don't, please take it back
Please take it back, please
I'm going then
Sorry to have bothered you
Mitsuko
I saw your husband with that woman before
I afraid it would upset you so I didn't tell you
How could this be possible?
Why there isn't even one good news?
Let's go, Mitsuko
In any case, I don't want to stay alone at home
Don't be so upset about your husband
I feel bad whenever I think of what he did
Men are all despicable
Don't move around!
Seems that there's no big problem?
Don't bother Mitsuko when she comes back
Kiyoko should get married earlier
There's no use hanging on like this
Mother, my husband wants to borrow some money from Mitsuko
Really?
Right, we want to open a shop in Shibuya
We'll lose face if we do not expand our business
Mother, please talk to Mitsuko
She may listen if you talk to her
It's difficult for me to talk about it
You're her mother, what's so difficult?
I'll give it a try then
I also want some money to buy clothes for summer anyway
But how should I ask her?
Mitsuko is too mean
Oh, here she comes
Sorry we're late
I'm so tired, Mitsuko
It's great to have siblings when you move house
I'm so sorry
Where should I put these?
Things are all over the place, I can hardly walk around
Mitsuko you're always a beauty
It makes me worry that you're alone now
I'm not alone
There's another woman
There could be problems for the insurance settlement
Don't worry, he didn't left a will that mentioned her
Mitsuko, this cat seems to know what we're saying
Look, he seems so happy
Kiyoko, you're so good to cats
Really?
Kiyoko, the girl on the second floor said...
she's going to move out
Oh, really?
I don't know what's on her mind
Why did you talk to Kiyoko like that?
I just don't like her kind
What's the matter?
Nothing
You've been doing this all day?
I don't have anything to do anyway
It can make some money
It's hard for you, right?
Kiyoko
How about men take a bath first, then women next?
Anyway you want it
What's the matter with you?
Don't quarrel
No one wants to quarrel with him, he started it first
It's me again?
Just eat your Soba, it's getting cold
Right, go on and eat
The girl on the second floor...
eats only two meals a day
Then give her some food, mother
If she's used to have two meals, eating too much would be bad
Nuiko wants you to lend her some money from the insurance you claimed
She talked about it this morning
So just lend her
Mitsuko, I also said I wanted to borrow some money from you before
I need some money for work
How come you all set your eyes on my money?
Looks like you really got it in hand?
You've claimed it, right?
Mitsuko
Everyone is interested in your money
It's just a small amount even if I got it
It'll be used up in a year and half or so
Should I just lend it to Nuiko to open a shop in Shibuya?
Lend it to her? I wonder if it's alright...
Why not give it a try?
You have to be sure if you lend her money
I'm lucky to be able to offer some help, right, Kiyoko?
I don't know
I'm not sure either...
Anything to pawn? Anything to pawn?...
When will Mitsuko get over this?
Mitsuko, hurry up, otherwise we'll be late
I'm sorry
Mitsuko, if you don't feel right then please come back earlier
Take care of yourself, Kiyoko, and the kitten too
Please be careful
Please have some tea
Thank you
It's been a long time since I had such good food
You're such a good friend
I'm pleased to have you as my friend too
That's great
Finally I managed to have this record player
It's tough being a private tutor, right?
All jobs are tough anyway
I always pay my rent late, your mother would certainly blame me for...
squandering money on such an expansive thing
But I could live my life like this in the past
This is what my mother left behind
My mother is the kind of woman who would skip a meal to pursuit her interest
She plays piano very well
Have you thought about marriage?
Yes of course, if I meet the right man
Everyone is like that
How about you, Kiyoko?
Me? I've never thought about it
You're lying
Why would you say that?
I just feel it
Anybody home? Are you there Kiyoko?
Everyone's out
Kiyoko is away too?
Yes
What a pity
Do you know where they are?
I don't really know
Excuse me, I have to go out soon too
I'll wait outside then
They may be back very late
Bad luck
Please come again when they're here
I'll tell them about it
Goodbye then
Thank you so much
Who is he?
My boyfriend
You're not serious?
You're bad
He took back everything he brought here
Really?
Don't be so upset, just let it be
Women love to cry all the time, just clueless
Everyone else is busy working
What are you trying to say?
If you continue like this you'll ruin your body
No one wants something like this to happen
Those who live on must take care of themselves, right?
What's there to cry about?
What are you talking about?
'Cause I won't have anyone in my heart
Get serious if you want to have a wife
You're wasting your time every day, when would you be able to have a wife?
What's the hurry? A man can get married as late as 42
I have my plans too
What plans could you have?
Kasuke, your father is a policeman
He was a very good man
Really excellent
No matter what followed,
it's happy to be married to such a man
Why are you talking about all those again?
Like it was real
What are you talking about, Kasuke?
I think your father is fine
You're right then
Don't scratch your legs anymore, okay?
You stupid, men are like this
Disgusting. I wonder what would your wife say
Mother
How old are you two? Still quarrel?
I went to Nuiko's place
What's up with her? Your sister goes out a lot with Tsunakichi
I think Tsunakichi is not very good
You bet
But I think he's quite nice, he has his own shop, and he's much wealthier than Ryuzo
How can you compare him to Ryuzo?
He is the kind of man Nuiko likes
Stop it
I'm having a hard time between them
Today...
Madam,
Your brother-in-law got drunk
Ryuzo?
Seems like it's because you cheated him or something like that
I don't know what exactly it is
Do you want to go and have a look?
No
How about your elder sister?
I'd better go and see
Ryuzo, what's wrong with you?
Oh, it's you, Mitsuko
Mitsuko, don't be innocent
You'd better beware when doing business
Let's go home first
Mitsuko
Listen up now
I really don't understand Nuiko
She always wants to humiliate me
When I ask her why, she said she just want to be this way
Why am I so miserable?
Can't she just treat me a little better?
Ryuzo...
Be careful
Should I get your sister?
Okay, okay, just let him be
A customer?
Nuiko
Don't go! What have you done behind me?
Don't be impulsive
You're such a shame
You're worse than a woman, and you dare question me now
How can we be husband and wife?
I don't want to live with a man like you
What did you say?
Get lost!
How dare you treat me like this?
I can't stand it anymore
Stop it, Ryuzo
It can't stand it
I don't want to see them like this
And then Tsunakichi came looking for Nuiko
He even drank at her place
This is absurd
I feel there's something wrong too
Great, so I got rid of him finally
No way, it's Nuiko who's crazy about him
I think Tsunakichi likes you more
Disgusting
How come so many things happened lately
Mitsuko, that woman writes you a letter again
What does she want?
I am having a hard time bringing up my baby
That baby is the son of your died husband,
please kindly help us
Please give me 200,000 yen to raise the child
200,000 yen
Let's go and see her
It must be boring for you to come along, you don't have many holidays
Let's get off here
My place is a little messy, please don't mind
Please take a seat
So let's talk it over today
Okay
I think you don't know my difficulties...
We have borrowed a lot of money from others
I've heard things. I know my request must be hard for you
But your husband always said he had 500,000 life insurance...
and told me not to worry
He's just bluffing
Here's your soda
Thank you
I'm sorry to have written you such a letter
But please think about this child's future
It's only 200,000... I guess it's alright?
You know, that's a large sum
I know I must be putting you into a difficult situation
But I know how much that life insurance worths
I can't go to work with my baby
I think you do understand?
I do understand, but are you his wife?
Are you his legitimate wife?
You know he is married, yet you kept dating him
Isn't my sister pathetic?
It's up to us to decide whether we give you money or not
Please don't mind
I just say what I want to say
Then let's take it to court
I just want to discuss it with you
Then say it, how much?
Well, you asked me how much anyway
The insurance is all used to repay debts
My brother-in-law was deep in debt, you know?
That I can't be bothered with
That is private matter
You asked him to bought you this house, right?
Kiyoko, that's okay. I don't have too much
200,000 should be fine
I'll give you little by little
Here is 50,000
Sister, you don't have to be so polite
I'm married to your brother-in-law...
I shall pay back what he owes
He was a married man, but he messed around with a woman like this
Kiyoko
Please take this
Thank you very much
If 200,000 is too much, 100,000 would be fine
It's all for this child
I understand, I'll try my best
Thank you so much
Sister, let's get going
Kiyoko, Kiyoko, are you angry?
What's the use of being angry?
Kiyoko, let's walk around
Kiyoko, that child is just like my husband
Even his gestures
Really?
Mitsuko, once you've given her what she asks for, she'll want more in the future
Perhaps you're right, but I can't help it
It's for my husband... what can I do otherwise?
What happened to all the men now?
Having a child outside without letting his family know
It's okay, mother, I'll handle it
Didn't you want to open a coffee shop with that money?
A coffee shop? That's great!
Kasuke helped me to find cheap foodstuff
Mitsuko, this is your first stop towards success
If it's not Tsunakichi, our business won't be that bad
Don't talk about that guy, let's drink
Tsunakichi is not too bad I think
My wife is the one to blame
You can't blame her for that
I'm back
Welcome
Ryuzo, you're here
Ryuzo, you can't let such a thing happen again
I'll try my best
So let's drink
Is there anything wrong?
Tsunakichi called me today and talked silly again
Oh...
Hello
Welcome
You're here
Yes
What's up? Mitsuko you don't seem well
Sorry to make you worry
Thanks for taking care of my daughter
No, not at all
Let's have a drink together
Thank you
Please come in
Kiyoko, don't keep avoiding me
Please come in
I have something to do
Don't be so polite
Come in
Let me treat you a dinner some time
Thanks, you don't have to...
Dinner? I'm going too. Let's go to a good restaurant
It will be happier if I come along
Come and have a drink
Mother, please go buy some beer
Take it
What's the matter with you? I'm worried
I'm alright
Let's go to your place and have a drink
You just wanted to see my wife, huh?
What are you talking about?
I am asking you for some help
I want to refurbish my shop
But I haven't decide what to do yet
I need 200,000 for my shop
Really?
I'll invite you over by then
I can go there from time to time
I am inviting you
Invite me? You think I'm a fool?
What's between you and my wife?
You told my wife 200,000 is nothing, did you?
Don't go
Kasuke, do something
Don't fight, Ryuzo
I'm sorry for today
What happened?
Who started it first?
Just don't bother
Don't move
Men are so terrible
They're like beasts
It's a bit dirty here, please don't mind
I live here by myself
Seeing you reminds me of my youthful days
I never thought I could have my place rented so soon
Thank you so much
You're welcome. You seem to be in a hurry
I don't mean anything, you look like a good girl
Then the rental deposit...
There's no need, I'm just living by myself
Right, I have some Soba downstairs, today is my husband's death anniversary
It may not taste very good, but please have some if you don't mind
Please
Thanks for the food
My husband likes the Soba I made very much
It's very long, right?
It's delicious
You make dolls?
Yes, but I'm not very good at it
I'm just so-so
You like it too?
My daughts liked them at first
Daughters?
Yes, both of them are married with children
Their children are girls
Both dolls are girls
They're lovely
Excuse me
Thank you so much for your Soba
You're welcome, you've finished it?
It's very tasty, I want to have some more next time
You're welcome, I have a lot
Oh yes, let me introduce to you. She is Kiyoko who just moved in
Kiyoko, she is Tsubomi who lives next door
Nice to meet you
I'm going now. I'll leave the keys to you
Okay
Is your brother going with you?
It's nice, you two are so good to each other
You're exaggerating it
Tsubomi, let's go
Please come over, Shuzo
What's the matter?
Nothing
We're going. Goodbye
Please take care
These two siblings are both very good
Tsubomi is a pianist, Shuzo works in an office and is a part-time private tutor
When Tsubomi is busy, Shuzo would wash her clothes for her
How many siblings do you have?
My siblings are like... they don't exist
I'll go get some soy sauce
Kiyoko, what happened to you?
It's been a long time
I don't like to hear you say that
I thought something happened to you, your company said you're on leave
I'm not joking
Where have you been?
I rented a flat outside
Why did you rent a flat outside?
Can I have this?
Wash it first
Where is Mitsuko?
She went to her shop, she'll be back soon
She worries a lot about you
You have to let her know how you're doing
I came back for my blankets
Why did you move out?
Um
Don't "um" me, I'll be 60 next year
You're doing just fine, mother, I don't worry about you
What do you know?
I don't want to be like a kid staying with mum
I don't want to stay at home all the time
They are your sisters and brother, you can't be like that
It's so sour!
Who's that?
Ryuzo
Kiyoko where have you been?
Hello
She rented a flat outside
Really? You've grown up
I have to go now, goodbye, Kiyoko
Goodbye
Umbrellas for sale, umbrellas for sale...
Ryuzo has been living here?
All because of Nuiko
She forgets about her husband when she's busy with the shop
He just wanders around aimlessly every day
I don't know what to say to him
Nuiko is really mean
You can't really blame her
She cares about you too
What do you think, mother?
It doesn't matter what I think
They're like that already
I'll go and pack my things
Let me help you
It's alright
It's okay
I'm sorry
You found this place on your own?
No, my friend helped me
You work in a company too?
I am a tour bus guide
It's tough, right?
When you have to deal with picky tourists
Sometimes, yes
It's the same when I play the piano
Piano?
Yes, my sister always picks on me whenever I play
Thank you very much
You're welcome
- Kiyoko - Mitsuko
Mother worries a lot about you
What did she say?
She said she's worried, of course
She asks me to come and see you
What's the matter with you?
I just do what I want to do
Mother pampers you too much
She'll be fine if I see you
I brought you some apples
It's such a wonderful view
I was also surprised when I first saw it
It feels completely different from home
I want to live here with you
It's the first time I hear you talk like this
I'm glad you're here
Mitsuko, how's your coffee shop?
I'm working on it, otherwise how can I live on?
I want to buy a big bookshelf with lots of books I want to read
I have other plans too
It's good to have dreams, you're still young
What are you talking about? You're young too, Mitsuko
No, I'm really old
I don't even know who I am
Don't say that
I don't have any faith now
Come and talk to me more often
I'm going then
Thank you
Is this place open yet?
I don't think so
Kiyoko
Good day
Should I call you boss?
Do I look like one?
You're just like a boss
Ask your friends to come too, I'll give them a discount
No problem
Coffee, tea, milk... I'll try some coffee then
Please wait a minute
The paint is not completely dried yet
Really?
The decoration is nice
It's nothing special
A rare guest indeed, I heard you moved out?
Did you have a boyfriend? Mitsuko worries about you
Tsunakichi comes here to help very often
Let's take a walk outside, Kiyoko
I'm going, Mitsuko
You hate me that much?
You just came, why are you going so soon?
You have things to buy for the shop, right?
Yes, I'm going to buy them soon
You should go now, in case you need them
It's alright, just go
I'm here
Am I right, Kiyoko?
Kiyoko
Every time when you see me,
you give me a hateful look
Like I am no good at all
Sit down
I really like you Kiyoko
Don't go
Go away, I'm not like my sisters
Kiyoko doesn't like me at all?
But I do like you
Let me go
I want to be with you
It hurts
Kiyoko, you came?
You waited for a long time?
I've been here for some time
This is beautiful
That's for sure
Don't try to fool around here
Kiyoko, don't you be so proud of yourself
What's wrong with Tsunakichi?
Yeah, he's good, you should marry him
What did you say? You dare say it again!
Wait, wait, don't be so angry
What's the matter, Nuiko?
What's wrong?
How could Kiyoko say that?
Mitsuko, please let me have a rest in this place
What Nuiko tries to do would make our relationship even worse
My heart and my body are both so tired
Please be strong
Sorry to give you troubles
This rain should stop soon
I didn't notice at all
Where's your sister?
She went to the market
Thank you
You're back
I thought you must have forgotten about the clothes
Kiyoko helped me
Thank you
The rain has stopped
Brother, you were asleep?
No, he was playing the piano, he plays it very well
Congratulations brother, it's the first time someone said you play well
What?
Please come in, I'll put everything in order first
Please take a seat
Are you from Yamaguchi?
No, from Tokyo, why ask?
Your eyes are so pretty
My sister said so too
What did she say?
Kiyoko is from Tokyo
What did I say? You said her eyes are pretty
My brother said only people from beautiful places would have such beautiful eyes
I wanted to go there and have a look too
Let's go together next time
I love hiking very much
You can carry all our luggage then
You're a man, you should do that
Please have some fruit
Kiyoko, please don't mind, Tsubomi has very bad manners
Our parents have both passed away
My brother taught me all that
How about your parents, Kiyoko?
I have my mother and three siblings
But I prefer being alone
Why?
Kiyoko, someone's looking for you
I'll be there soon
Please excuse me
Come over if you have time
Excuse me
She's so gentle
Mother
Did Mitsuko come?
Mitsuko?
She's not at the shop, I couldn't find her
She said she'd be here
Tsunakichi always stays at her shop...
like it was his own
Are you listening to me?
They always stay together
I know
He keeps asking about you too
You sisters and brothers are not getting along well
You all don't care about me
Mother, let's have dinner together
How would I have the mood to eat now?
Please don't worry
You're saying like it's nothing at all
Mitsuko gets hurt easily
It'll be fine
How can you not care about it at all?
She'll be alright
Mitsuko is miserable enough...
Also Nuiko and Ryuzo...
I have so much to worry about
Aren't you hot, mother?
You wear kimono in this weather...
I don't have time for things like that
Ryuzo is no good either
He always says wait till next time...
What's so wrong with that?
If I don't care about my daughters' lives,
how can I be their mother?
But Ryuzo is Nuiko's husband
You're not responsible for him
But I just can't leave it behind
Sigh!
Mother, don't you have a life of your own?
You have to think for yourself
What's the use of that?
How do you know if you've never tried?
You're always like that
People should care about themselves
Have you ever thought...
how difficult it was to bring up all of you?
If you knew it then you shouldn't give birth to me
Mother
Why would you have four sons and daughters all with different fathers?
Ever since I was born,
I have to follow what they told me to do
That's enough
Don't talk about all those things in the past
It's my fault, okay?
It's difficult to bring up all of you
Yes, you shouldn't have me right from the start
I'm such an eyesore
I shouldn't be born
Now I'm being blamed at
Alright, I don't want to see you cry
Don't worry about me, think for yourself
Don't be miserable like your mother
Mother, it's alright...
It's not worth it
I always thought...
you are the best child I have
Mother, are my eyes beautiful?
No
Look, mother, my bank book
Guess how much do I have
4500 yen
There used to be 7000, but I bought something
Mother, let's make you some clothes for summer
No, don't spend money on that
Stay here for the night
I'd better go back
I'll walk you home
Mother, take this
You're going
Sorry to bother you
Please take care of my daughter
You're making dolls...
Mother
Okay, okay, I'm leaving
Mother, what?
This cap looks like a medal
What's on your mind?
Right, what was I thinking?
Oh yes...
Mother,
I've seen father's medals
Really?
Your father was a good man
