Radishes are genius
How about potatoes?
With potatoes, it's up to the cook
Radishes you can simmer or grill
They're even delicious raw
You don't grill radishes
Sure, you do
If you simmer and then grill it, it loses its tartness
Then you mix it with carrots and sauté with sesame oil
Sesame oil, right
Better write it down. You'll forget
No need, I'll never cook it
My husband grew up on fast food He'll eat anything
Then, why'd you ask?
I thought you might want to talk, Mom
In that case, move your hands, not your mouth
It's nearly lunchtime
Can you go buy some low-fat milk at the store?
Daddy...
Ouch He can at least buy milk
He doesn't want the neighbors to see him with a shopping bag
What?
Even at his age, he wants to be called "Doctor"
I can't believe that
You spoil him too much, Mom
Yokoyama Clinic
Good morning
Don't you wish the weather would cool down, Doctor?
It's supposed to be another scorcher, today
When it's this hot, I can hardly stand to drink water
Cold noodles is all I can eat
That's not good. You should eat some eel, for your health
I have a feeling my time could be up any day now
When it is, I want you to be there for my death
In that case, I've got to outlive you
See you
Please, enjoy your walk

STILL WALKING
Let's take the last train home
If we leave at 8PM, we can make it
I told them we'd spend the night Brought a change of clothes, too
Can't you make up an emergency PTA meeting?
No?
You're always blaming someone else...
There's nothing to talk about with them
Dad still thinks I'm a huge baseball fan
You like baseball, Ryo?
I used to, long, long ago
I want you to know,
I'm the one that's really nervous Though I doubt you notice
I know, I know
They say he even moved near the race track
It's a sickness, then
As they get older, their bodies
can't keep up with women and drink,
but not so with gambling
It's the worst vice
How awful...
You still have sparrows out here...
They show up because your father feeds them rice
We only have crows
On garbage pick-up days, they're waiting like this...
Peel off all the skin
Oh, there's some left...
You're such a pretty girl Show off your forehead
When's Ryo coming?
On the phone he said, by noon
Is the "Unsmiling Prince, coming. Too?
Yes, they're spending the night
What a surprise
But you know.
He didn't have to go for a used model
That sounds so cruel
And besides,
it's better to marry a divorcee than a widow
At least a divorcee chose to leave her husband
You sound so scary sometimes. Mom
I'm just stating the obvious
It's because you pushed him so hard to get married
Maybe, but he could have had his pick...
Ryo wasn't as popular as his older brother
That's not true
At his graduation. All his buttons were torn off
He probably got beat up
That's not true All his lower classmates wanted them
He said there was a long line of girls...
Parental pride can be blinding Better watch out myself
It's only been 3 years...
Since her first one died
Isn't it 4 years ago?
In any case. It's too soon
You think?
She's just cold
I'm not so sure...
I am
You've never worked outside the house. Mom
You don't know how hard it is to be a single mom
There you go, making fun of me for not working"
I'm not making fun of you...
Besides, after we put you through college,
you only worked 3 years
Four, it was 4 years
Please bring it up with your older sister
About moving
Shouldn't you discuss things with her? Like about your father...
I'm sure she's got it figured out
I'm not planning on moving back
Although it'd be great if they looked after them
That's not likely You are the eldest son
I'm the second oldest son
What's that?
Coca-cola and ginger ale
Drink them separately
They have free refills Don't act so poor
Say, how's school?
Average
Average?
Yeah
Listen...
Your mother told me yesterday, about the rabbit...
Why did you laugh when it died?
It was funny
What was?
Rena started saying we should write letters to the rabbit
What's wrong with writing letters?
Letters no one will read?
Your iced tea is so delicious, Grandma
They're just supermarket teabags
I used to steep my own, but...
Oh, I see It must be the water, then
It's just tap water
You'll drink anything
As long as you like it, it doesn't matter
Right?
What did you eat last night?
Sushi!
Hey!
I told you we're having sushi for lunch
Just the sushi that goes around
36 plates!
A new record!
Some record...
The pudding went around, too
There's pudding that goes around?
Melon, too!
I ordered some sushi just in case But if you just ate some yesterday...
It's fine, I haven't had any
We can eat sushi everyday
Everyday
After the son took over at Matsu Sushi, the fish isn't as good
Is that so?
All done
But they wrap their sea urchin in cucumber, not seaweed
I like that
Does sea urchin come with Sushi Deluxe? That's what I ordered
Maybe I'll call them
Oh, don't bother
Only one Don't spoil your appetite
Oh, let them That's what I bought them for
You're lucky you don't get scolded in Grandma's house
I love Grandma's house!
Too bad
Without the "house" you would've gotten another one
Red bean, too
That's for Grandma
Oh, sorry
You don't like red bean, do you?
[Skipped item nr. 176]
Couldn't you stop calling him Ryo?
If only for today To help your mother out
But Ryo is just Ryo
You know better
You do it on purpose
Tonami doesn't answer
Publishers are probably closed on Saturdays
Call him back Monday
Don't say anything to them about my job
Please
If we make it through today, we won't see them for a while
They're your parents Don't be so defensive
That's exactly why,
I refuse to say I'm between jobs Not to him...
Oh, no
You just get so defensive about your father
C'mon, carry one
Hello
That's 'I'm home," right?
Nice to see you
You're welcome Isn't it hot?
Hello
What good manners you have
You left this behind
I'm so sorry. He's always leaving something behind. Thanks
The station area's changed I got lost, drenched with sweat
You're Rip van Wrinkle because you never visit
That narrow bookstore's gone
The owner got sick and was hospitalized
There was no one left to look after the store
We'll chill this in the bathtub, and...
You said you like cream puffs, Mother
Thank you so much
The first one goes to his altar
Your flower arrangement's beautiful Which school, Mother?
Oh, I'm self-taught
Mom just fakes it
When I took lessons. It was completely different
As long as they're pretty, it doesn't matter
Been a while
Hello
You have a nice tan Hawaii?
No time to go anywhere I make do at the local park
He walks around in his swimsuit, can you believe it?
You've grown again, Satsuki
Another 1.5cm over the summer
You'll outgrow me, soon
You eat enough
Mutsu, are you still fencing?
What?
He quit, after we bought him all the equipment
It's too hot and it stinks
Oh, here's Grandpa
It's nice to see you again
Oh, you're here
Hello
He knew...
I'm so sorry He's so unfriendly
Don't worry My father's just like him
When Junpei first brought his wife here.
He ran and hid in his examination room
I'm sorry, can you sleep OK?
I wake up sometimes
Poor thing
I'm sorry his teeth grinding wakes you up
On his high school trip. Ryota made so much noise
grinding his teeth,
they made him sleep in a separate room
The poor thing
A separate room
That wasn't me, that was Junpei
If you use your thumb joint, they fall right off
You're so good
This always used to be my chore
They wound up building it as it was designed
That's terrible
They promised to
make it triangular to let the sun in
But it's square
Exactly
And they're still in court over it
Oh, dear
Don't mix it up like that
You have to out into it
Really?
How many years did you watch me do this?
All done
So pretty
Brings back memories
Strange, right?
Everybody does it
No. They don't, do they?
I only know grilled or boiled corn...
Did your grandmother teach you?
I wonder who
Your original?
I bet, just like her flowers
He'll be here any minute
His eyesight's shot but not his nose
He couldn't wait for supper
He'd hear the corn popping and eat them as fast as I cooked them
My brother loved them
You like corn, don't you, Atsushi?
So-so
Actually. I'm so-so about corn, too
You'll eat a lot
They're best hot. Go ahead
With a drop of soy sauce
So sweet!
Before we moved here, our neighbors had a cornfield
Sneaking in one night...
You stole corn?
Dad did
Statue of limitation's up That was 30 years ago
The next day was corn tempura
Right as I was frying them,
there's a "Hello"
The farmer came over
to give us corn, saying they had a bumper crop
Just then, it started popping in the kitchen, like before
She tells the same story every time she makes tempura
I sure felt awful about that
So Junpei chimes in,
'Mother, we didn't have to
'go buy that corn at the green grocer's"
He could be so smart that way
He could
Just like that other time
At the bank?
He was a lifesaver
[Skipped item nr. 307]
This is going to be my room I'll get a blue bed
What about me?
There's no room for you You're not moving here with us
You can have this room, then
Oh, good
There's a ghost at night
Forget it
I'm getting the piano, too
I want the piano, too
You can't play
I'll learn
You'll never play You even quit fencing
Keep fencing out of this
Daddy. Aren't I moving with you?
Say. How did you feel when your daddy died?
I don't know, I was little
Did you cry?
I don't remember
If it were me, I would cry
I know, what do you call Uncle Ryota?
Like everyone,
'Daddy"
They should leave this downstairs Why'd they haul it up...
Are they starting to lose it? They don't use this stuff
They're probably lonely
For what?
You know...
Have they said anything?
About my wife
Not really
It's heavy
Do they disapprove that it's a second marriage?
I don't think so She's terrific, wasted on you
Watch out, you need to watch your step
It's too low
It's not too low, you're too big
Did we eat the same food?
Ouch, ouch
No, no, his memory's shot He can't remember the orders
He served Toro sushi to the same customer over and over again
That sounds good Let's all go
Please, spare me We'll have to fold
You've always been a joker
I'm serious, I'm not joking
How old is your father?
What? 72, I think
Hey, same as Dad
Really? The Doctor looks much younger He looks vigorous
You call that vigorous?
Happily retired, right? I'm jealous
He wanted to keep working
But his eyes... He got cataracts
No. The other disease
But they also built a big hospital nearby
It was time for him to quit
At least he salvaged his pride
The sushi's here
Here's 20,000 Yen
Thank you
Your change is 3.000 and 2 million Yen!
Hey, give us a discount Look how much we ordered
Give me a break! I didn't tell my wife about the sea urchin
Here they are It's heavy
Don't eat the sea urchin
Hey, is that you. Satsuki? You're so tall
I grew 1.5om this summer
I quit fencing
Nobody cares about your fencing club
I almost forgot
My wife sent this funeral offering
Oh, you don't need to We don't say prayers anymore
No. My wife was behind Junpei in Jr. High
She gave him chocolates for Valentine's Day
Really? In that case, thank you
Why didn't you tell us about this first?
I would never give you a hard time about a discount...
Sorry, it just slipped my mind...
Getting yelled at for making a funeral offering...
Why not come in and light some incense?
I'm not dressed for it
I've got to get back No telling what Dad's up to
Thanks for your business
He's all grown up
He used to be a bad kid
You never know... How he might have turned out
I'm done
You're full? No more sushi?
Heavy
Be careful, Satsuki
Cheater!
Shouldn't I out it?
They want to break it
You don't want to join them?
No. Thank you
You sure?
The handrail by the bath...
Yes, Dad fell last year
I heard
He got such a big bruise on his behind
Oh, no
Because you left the soap on the floor
I didn't leave the soap
Here we go again He's always blaming someone else
Hey kids, if you hit it with those there'll be nothing left
You'll smash it
The tiles are falling off in the bath, too
They just peel off when they age
I'll fix those, later
You don't have to. You're a guest, Nobuo san
You're happier doing things, right?
I'm like a tuna I have to keep moving or die
I wish it would motivate him more at work
That machine... He took it upstairs for me
The Rodeo-Boy
Happy to help
Hurry, Daddy
Excuse me
Say, Ryota, now that you have a family
How about an RV?
I'll give you a good discount
Living in Tokyo. We don't need a oar
I always dreamed that my sons
would take me shopping in their cars
Children don't necessarily grow up the way you want them to
They certainly don't...
Do they...
I'll take you shopping in a car As much as you want. Which one?
Just you wait, just wait This white one?
You've got nerve You don't even have a license
Seconds?
I'm full
You can eat more You're still young
But we can't have him getting any bigger
How old do you think I am?
Are your teeth all right?
You don't see a dentist, do you?
I'm too busy with work
You've got bad teeth, like me Better watch out
Open up wide, now
Cut it out Not in front of the boy
Is it a work call?
Yeah, well
I got a rush job from the Setagaya Museum
An oil painting?
Yeah, something like that
I saw an article in the newspaper about painting restorers
It said, "Painting Doctors"
Which paper?
I can't remember I'll send you a copy
You say that, but you've never once sent me one
Sorry
Well, I'm hardly as important as a doctor
It's not so much medical care as it is "anti-aging"
How lovely Can you help me?
What's that 'anti-" something?
I think you're past it, Mom
You're so youthful, you don't need it
I'm not so sure I could help
So I'm the only one left out?
My line of work is finally getting the spotlight
There's more students studying it at my alma mater
But when it comes time to jobs, it's competitive...
Apparently
You always
had such nimble fingers
You can drink
I take after my mother
Yukie san could drink, too
You could match her
My brother's wife
I wonder where she's living
The address on her New Year's card hadn't changed. Tokorozawa
I see
Wonder how she is
If they'd had children. We could invite her
Now that she's remarried, she can't really visit...
In some ways it was good they hadn't had children yet
A widowed single mom's harder to marry off
Luckily, a wonderful man wanted me
No. No, we're lucky you took him
That's not for you to say
Yukari san, would you like to see Ryota's childhood pictures?
Yes, please
You'd show her even if she didn't
I want to get some of the pictures of me in college
Atsushi, you, too
Did it break? Did you break it?
Not yet!
Not yet...
We'll leave the two doctors to discuss things...
What about...
What happened with repairing the Takamatsu-zuka murals?
Restoration, not repair
There was a long dispute about whether to preserve
the tomb as is or to conserve that national treasure, that mural,
Asuka Beauty, they made into a stamp
Ultimately, the Ministry of Culture ruled to dismantle it,
in a rare upset for local cultural preservation
It'll take at least 10 years to...
That's a precious plant Don't do that!
Sorry
Are you making a living?
Enough to support a widowed single mom
There
Strike!
There's a crack!
Wow
It broke
....
.......
Everybody line up, now
OK, OK, picture, picture
Come here
Look, Mom
What? It's so dirty
A chocolate stain
It'll stand out
Wear it inside out
No
Please cover it up then It looks so dirty...
Grandpa, please stand to the side
Where to, Mom?
Sorry, we're all here, now
It's not a funeral, it's bad luck
It's fine. Besides, we're all here because of him
I know, but...
You're not in, Grandpa
Grandpa, please step in to the left
Just a little more
Grandpa
Did he go to the bathroom?
We'll circle him later
He's not dead yet
Smile everyone
You, too, Ryo
And he's laughing
- We're off! - Watch for oars!
Is it hot?
Knock. Knock
Do you have to do that now?
Why?
Why don't you come talk with us?
About what?
It doesn't matter
Like about preserving tombs, or whatever
Ryo was worried
About what?
About how you feel about his wife
It's his life, let him do what he wants
You're so cold
You weren't like that with Junpei
Of course not He was my heir
Ryo left the family
What?
It was my hard work that built this house
Why do you call it 'Grandma's house?"
He's so petty...
Oh, there's a trick to that
If you go like this and then at the right spot...
Then to hold it in place, you do this...
Says he doesn't want any
Says tempura's all he wants to talk about
Just leave him be He'll come back when he's hungry,
just like your crows
They only come on Tuesdays and Thursdays
He's still a kid, even at his age
Oh, no Guess even tunas take naps
He just finds the tatami floor relaxing
Yeah, our house doesn't have any tatami
You should get some
That's impossible Our house isn't built that way
Which is why, when we move here we'll build a tatami room
When are you moving?
Hopefully, before Mutsu goes to Jr. High School
It's not definite yet
But I showed you the blueprints
Don't catch cold
Like they say, when you age, it's best to live with your daughter
Depends on the daughter
The ashtray...
We'll live together but keep separate kitchens
Of course we're happy to eat whatever you cook
All I'll do is look after you I might as well be a maid
The body of Hagiwara Mikio, a 53 year-old
employee from Yokohama, was discovered today on the beach...
Oh. No It's supposed to be autumn
The night before,
he had made a rare visit alone and stayed over
That day, he was shining his shoes...
Suddenly he said, 'I'm going to the beach"
By the time I said, Be careful..."
- We're home - Where were you?
A secret
You're sweaty
Here
- You didn't pick it - No
Only his beautifully polished shoes were left behind
I'll never forget the sight of his shoes...
Have iced tea, not ice cream
If only I'd said something to him sooner
Here we go again
Oh, let me, at least today
If only it were just today...
He didn't have to save him
It wasn't even his own child...
Maybe I'll fix us a snack
No. We've had plenty
Well, you're all here
After you pat it round. Use your thumb to make a bellybutton
Here's another one
What's that?
Poop
Whose poop?
- Daddy's - Daddy's?
Poop? I used to make those when I was a kid
You should use our phone
That Vietnamese place was good, right?
I'm stepping outside
Is it work?
Yes, probably
He's so busy Does he come home late?
He's had a lot of overtime
He's still in his 40s, he'll be fine
Whose oil painting?
A Van Gogh?
I doubt it's a Van Gogh
How much does he get for restoring one painting?
It's a lot of work
How much did you say?
I'm asking her how much
Here's your reward for helping Grandma
Thank you
- Mutsu - Thank you
We love Grandma's house
Where's Atsushi?
Not to worry, it's not a big deal
Listen, by the way,
do you know anyone at Shinbido Publishers?
Yeah, I figured not
Oh, hello
Let's all get together for dinner. Soon
You don't have to invite Mishima...
'Homoclomin.
'Prolmon,
'Triptanol,
'Neophagen"
Don't touch the medicine
C'mere
Here
Grandma already...
This is from your Grandpa
Have a seat
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What? A soccer player?
A piano tuner
A tuner? Why?
Just spit it out, it's OK
Because I like my music teacher
A woman?
The idea that a man be swayed by some woman in his career choice...
Show me your fingers
You seem nimble
My father got sick when I was a kid, too
So I decided to become a doctor
Did he get better?
Your father
He died before I became a doctor
Being a doctor is good It's a worthwhile job
You go play
Please don't give him any ideas
I won't let him be a doctor
It's not like I can afford to wait another 20 years
I can't help that...
I'm not talking to you
I know that
Taking a little break
Sure, you should rest
You must be tired keeping Dad and Mom company
About that phone call Turns out they don't need me
Oh, the Setagaya Museum?
You just made all that up
I didn't really have a choice
So, it's a Chagall
What is?
The oil painting you're restoring
A Chagall?
What are you going to do with all these?
I'm storing them for when I need them
When are you ever going to need this many
paper bags?
The refrigerator's stuffed as always
I feel safe when it's full
Refrigerators aren't made for safety
They're made for refrigeration
Hey
Does Dad play Pachinko?
It's you?
What do you care if I play Pachinko?
There's other things, like haiku and yoga
I feel so relieved when I hear that Pachinko sound
Sure, Mom,
you've earned the right to spend on whatever you please
What about... This house?
What about it?
Well, you know,
if you don't want us, we don't want to force ourselves on you
I haven't said we don't want you It's just that...
It's just what?
I think your father won't like it
You only bring up Dad when it's convenient
If we knock down the examining room
and make separate residences we can both be independent
I didn't know we made those sweets from rice flour, did you?
Of course not
It's getting cooler Let's go visit his grave
What about you?
I'm fine, I went recently
In that case, I'll join you instead It'll be a nice walk
I'd better wear a hat
Sure, why not
Why does she get so excited?
It's just visiting a grave...
I wonder who left these flowers His widow?
If she came this far, she'd visit
Guess you're right
Maybe it was Yoshio
He'd never do anything so thoughtful
- Tossing them? - Ours won't fit
I'll light incense
It was so hot, all day today
The water must feel good
There's nothing more unbearable
than praying at your child's grave
I never did anything to deserve this
What do you want, Mom?
Her husband's perfectly nice, but...
I'm too old to live with a stranger
And the kids sure make a lot of noise
So you don't want them to
Besides...
If they move back, it makes it harder for you to
Me? I can't move back
I mean, after your father dies
After he dies... You know I can't take my brother's place
Of course, I know that
In that case...
Are you two going to have children?
Where'd that come from?
You should think it over It's harder to divorce with children
What are you talking about?
Isn't the line normally, 'I can't wait for grandkids'
Your family isn't normal
These days we're not abnormal
You used to catch butterflies in Karuizawa
With your father Do you remember?
I don't
Let's go visit your father's grave, too
Whatever
Oh, it's not whatever"
Look, a yellow butterfly
They say butterflies that survive the winter
come back yellow the following year
Really? Sounds made up to me
That's what I heard
From who?
I can't remember
After I heard that. Whenever I see yellow butterflies,
it just breaks my heart
Climbing this hill gets harder every year
In a oar, you'd be up here in a flash
It's better for you to walk
You're right That was good exercise
So, you're graduating college?
Yes, thanks to you
Did you find work?
I wanted a job in the media but I got turned down everywhere
And that drama school?
Sorry, I quit that two years ago...
Oh, I see What a shame
That's what you said to him last year
I did?
I'm helping out at a small ad agency Maybe I'll get a job there
That's perfectly fine, right?
When I say ads, I mean more like supermarket flyers...
Did you take their exam?
Nothing formal like that
Thanks
I figure I'll keep helping out there for now
Well, in any case, nothing's more important than your health
Well, my health is my only asset
Um, seriously,
if Junpei san hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be here
I just feel so sorry
and so grateful
Thank you so much
I'll live my life for Junpei san. Too
Excuse me, then
Oh, sorry
Your legs OK?
They're numb from the tatami
There's a step there...
I'm sorry I can walk, now
You're still 25 You can be anything you want
No. I can see my life won't go anywhere
Come again next year Promise, OK?
We'll be waiting
I will Excuse me, then
Take care
Sorry
He got even fatter
He must weigh over 100 kilos All that fat across his back
He ate 2 of the desserts he brought for us
And 3 cups of iced tea
No wonder he's fat
Look, his sweat
Here, too, disgusting!
He even used the wrong conjugation thanking us
for Junpei saving his life
We should've given him the Rodeo-Boy
You're right
Go chase him down at the bus stop
Ryo...
Not me
That...
That useless piece of trash Why'd my son have to save him?
There were plenty of others
Please don't say "useless and "trash" in front of the kids
'A job in the media... So pretentious
He wasn't being pretentious
The truth is he's barely got part-time work
What's wrong with that? He's still young
His body just keeps growing
There's no point in him being alive
You heard him apologizing
Apologizing for being alive
Just like that novelist, who was it...
No, like that comedian who keeps apologizing...
We're not talking about novelists or comedians
Stop comparing his life to others...
One of his socks was black
He's doing the best that he can
Things don't always work out the way you want
But how can you sit in judgment, Dad,
saying "useless" and trash..."
Don't laugh!
What? Wipe it with this
You don't need to yell
What are you so defensive about? This has nothing to do with you!
Is being a doctor so important?
Advertising is a fine profession
Who knows how Junpei would have turned out if he were still alive
We're only human...
I heard "useless trash' and thought
you were talking about me I was soared to come out
Thank god you were talking about Yoshio
If only he'd lose a little weight...
He looks like that former sumo wrestler, who was he?
Takamiyama?
No. He's the one from Hawaii, who's in those commercials
I mean the one with the face like a mid-belly, like this
What's a mid-belly?
I think it's time to go Our driver's awake now
Going home. So soon?
Yes we are
Get ready!
Nobody asked him to live Junpei's life!
Ryota. Buy an RV...
We'd better put those desserts in the refrigerator
Atsushi, can you bring those desserts here?
Can you find a spot for them somewhere?
There's no room Oh, dear, in there...
- From Grandma? - 3,000 Yen
3,000 Yen
Grandma seemed to be enjoying herself
Of course she was. The best thing for her is to be with her family
Did we earn some points with her?
I don't know She won't come out and agree to it
She wants to preserve her son's room I can understand how she feels
He's got it good
We've got our hands full taking care of the living
You'd prefer she look out for her living daughter?
Of course
My brother's ghost isn't going to look after their old age
Don't worry. It's not that expensive It's light
It doesn't matter what it costs
It's not like I'm going to buy more than one
Does Mother have her own cell phone?
It's right there
When she makes calls, she goes and uses our home phone
The fool doesn't trust phones without cords
Says to keep this here
What? What's so funny?
Nothing at all
They should have stayed for supper, too
Oh, no
I couldn't stand to have their whole gang
hanging around all night
Sushi for lunch and eel for dinner I'm impressed
I shouldn't have fried so much tempura. What a waste
Maybe I'll take some tempura home
Leftover tempura isn't any good It loses its crunch
I'm glad we got the Deluxe
Anything less and they only give you instant soup
Can you eat this?
Sure, you can
You don't have to Grandpa'll eat it for you
Grandma'll give you some eel, instead
You're so lucky
I can't eat all this rice. Here
Don't dump your rice on top of my eel, Mom
Inside your stomach, it's all the same
She's never had a delicate bone in her body
What do you mean delicate... You're hardly one to talk
I take her to concerts and she always falls asleep, snoring
When was that. Dear?
There are so many records in the room next door
I used to be quite a collector, in my youth
Now it's just decoration He hardly listens to them
They just take up space
I associate physicians with classical music
He was just the doctor of a local clinic
But in an emergency, it's good to have a doctor in the house
Not necessarily He was so busy.
He couldn't be here when his own son was dying
I couldn't help it. I had a rash of food poisoning patients
Eat this
You don't have a clue how important work is to a man
I've never worked, not even once
Not that he works anymore
What other music do you listen to?
Well, jazz
It's outdated, but Miles Davis
I can tolerate up to about the Beatles
But this recent rap crap, you can't call it music
You're right
At Karaoke,
apparently he sings Japanese ballads
Karaoke?
I read it on Shimazu san's New Year's card
'I look forward to hearing you sing Pleiades again"
Don't read people's mail
It was a New Year's card, I couldn't help it
If you don't like it, have your friends seal them in envelopes
Japanese ballads, huh?
Pleiades is not a ballad
It's classier than that
Don't you two have a special. Romantic song?
Nothing like that
Yes, there's a record
What is it?
It's a cherished pop song Want to hear it?
Last year,
she got tricked into buying 'Favorite Pop Songs" by mail order
A 30-album set Who knows what it cost
I saw it in my room
She's never listened to it
I wasn't tricked How insulting, I'm not senile
What? Who's song?
Play it on the stereo
Now?
The needle rusted?
It plays fine
How does this work again...
What kind of song is it?
How should I know? It's got nothing to do with me
But it has everything to do with you
Mom, this song...
The city lights are so pretty, aren't they
Yokohama Blue light. Yokohama
I'm so happy, alone with you
When is this song from?
About 1970 Right before Expo '70
I remember you sang it. Sometimes
We walk forever and ever,
but I only sway, like a little boat
I sway gently in your arms
Only our footsteps follow us
Yokohama Blue light. Yokohama
Your gentle kiss...
I'll leave your fresh clothes here
With your towel
When did you buy it?
The record?
About the time... At Itabashi...
I carried Ryota strapped to my back, all the way to that woman's apartment
I could hear your voice, singing from her room
'We walk forever and ever"
I didn't want to interrupt you so I went straight home
The next day, I bought it at the Canary Record shop by the station
Please leave your washcloth hanging out to dry
Remember how Mom said, "It plays fine'
You know she plays it when she's alone
Kind of gives you the creeps
That's not true
What's strange about that?
Yeah?
Everybody has a song they listen to on the sly
You think?
Of course
So you have one, too?
Which one? Tell me
A secret
Women are so scary
People are scary
Everyone is
I bet there's a baseball game on Want to watch?
We put a dish on the roof You can watch extra channels
Not really
There's not much to watch on TV. These days
There's nothing funny but they laugh so loud
Those laughs aren't real, are they?
So they say
Here
What's that?
You treated us to a real feast today Why don't you treat yourself
My, an allowance from my own son
How wonderful
You're always treating us
In that case, thank you
What shall I buy...
What was that sumo wrestler's name?
Still on your mind?
Solving these things keeps your mind active
Waka-no-hana?
Not him
Kita-no-fuji?
He was really handsome
No. He was more lovable...
Say...
Isn't it time we let Yoshio go
Let's stop inviting him
Why?
I feel sorry for him
It seems painful for him to see us
That's why we invite him
Can't have him forgetting after just a dozen years
It was his fault... Junpei died
But Yoshio didn't...
It makes no difference Not for a parent
Not having someone to hate makes it all the worse for me
So once a year,
I make him feel awful, too
Will the gods punish me for that?
So I'll invite him next year and the year after...
That's what you keep inviting him here for?
You're cruel
I'm not cruel
I think it's normal
Everybody keeps saying that
When you get to be a parent, you'll find out
I'm a parent...
A real parent
What's that mean?
Take your bath Your father's done
Take the prince with you
The prince?
You should We have a nice big bath
Yukari san
We usually take separate baths
On a day like today, he should let his son bathe first
He just spaces out all day
There's no need to bathe every day
It's a waste of precious hot water
What is it, Mother?
Let Atsushi bathe first, with Ryota
Sure
Usually. We don't
I'll leave your pajamas out
I brought a T-shirt
Wear them, I bought them for you
Where?
A discount shop, I bet Let's see
I'll show you
Let's see
You like this color...
Oh, no...
Atsushi, let's take a bath
Wait 'til I finish this part...
The bath is really narrow
I don't think we'll both fit
Here
What about my T-shirt?
You've got your mother's pajamas, right?
I don't need to wear those
You should. She took the trouble to buy them for you
Are you mad?
She's like this when I visit
She just wants to look after me
It's not about that
What. Then?
If she's going to buy pajamas, she could buy a set for Atsushi. Too
All day, she treated him like a guest, not family
You're projecting She just didn't get around to it
She had 3 toothbrushes set out
Hand me... My T-shirt
Yukari san...
Yukari san, come...
Use this
Job not going well?
It's fine. Why?
Forget it, then
Don't worry about me Things have changed
Can't you...
Call your mom once in a while? Let her hear your voice
When I do, all she ever does is complain
Be patient and hear her out
That's not my job
Can't the two of you work things out, without dragging me into it?
Whatever. But that line about the corn. I said it. Not Junpei
Oh, yeah?
Yeah
What difference does it make?
Ryo, it's too hot to get in
I'll be right there
Not that it matters, anymore
Damn...
Do you have a splinter?
If you can pinch a mole like this, you'll be rich
Grandma?
See this?
Grandma told me, so I always tried hard to pinch it
Not that it did much good
Why did you want to be a doctor, Ryo?
It was long ago
Long, long ago
Is it this one?
Oh, here it is
I'll give you this, too
Oh, no. Mother It's too expensive
Oh, no, it's not expensive But it's a fine kimono
My daughter wants everything but once she gets it, she ignores it
I gave her a beautiful kimono but she's never worn it once
I wonder if she's sold it on the "Inter-something"
for cold hard cash
I doubt that
I wouldn't put it past her
You get dimples when you laugh
It's so sweet
What's the point of dimples at my age...
That's not true
A woman should be charming at any age
I'm jealous
Don't be...
Are you all right? You're flushed
Because I drank a little tonight
Oh, when I was young
They said, A woman should never empty a glass of beer"
You young folks are lucky
These days, I rarely drink when I'm out
So, you drink at home? It must be boring, my son doesn't drink
Well, these days...
Ryota often drinks beer at home
Oh, really?
Just a little Says it helps him sleep
Oh, I didn't know
Better dry your hair You'll catch cold
I weigh less than before
What are you two going to do about a baby?
We'll probably take some time to think about it
Guess you're right
But if you're going to have one, you shouldn't wait...
You're right
You have to think about Atsushi. Too
You'd hate to have things get awkward with a new baby
Maybe it's best that you don't
What a shame
I wonder if this sash will match
Maybe it's too plain
It's normal, isn't it?
Right?
What?
It just flew in
You followed us home from the grave. Right?
Keep it closed It might be Junpei
Hey, Mom
Junpei...
Junpei
Hurry, get it outside
Cut it out, you're pathetic
Calm down
But...
See, it is Junpei
Ridiculous
Junpei...
Gently now, gently
It's a butterfly Just a butterfly
Right Just a butterfly
I'm letting it go
On my grandma's 17th memorial,
a butterfly flew in at night...
You should take your bath, Mom
I guess I will
The Yokoyama family
Oh, I see Please wait a minute
The lady across the way feels sick
I'll take it
Her heart again?
She's supposed to be taking her Digitalis
OK, call an ambulance, then
I can't...
I'd like to, but...
I'm sorry I can't be of more help
Slowly, now
It'll sway a little Slowly
We'll stop here and turn around
What's her pulse?
Please get back
Let's open up and load her in
You don't understand, I'm...
OK, you'll be fine
Excuse me, please get back
Time to go to bed
Don't walk around in those pathetic pajamas
He said he'd fix the tiles...
But he ate his fill. Took a nap and went home
He's always like that All talk and no action
Grandma was strange, before
It just seemed that way to her
Even though he's gone?
Even when they die,
people don't really go away
Your father's here Right inside you
Half of you is made of your father
Half of you from me
What about Ryo. Then?
Ryo will become a part of you. Too
Slowly but surely
Slowly but surely?
What?
What's slowly but surely?
What do you say? Do you want to let Ryo in?
Hey, let me in
How will he get in?
From your mouth?
What from the mouth?
From your bellybutton?
Bellybutton?
My bellybutton, slowly but surely?
I became one of the relay runners
in the fall track meet
I saw a yellow butterfly, today
Just like the one I caught with Dad in Karuizawa
When I grow up.
I want to be a piano tuner, just like Dad
If that's impossible, I'd like to be a doctor
I'm off
Please look after him, Father
Off you go
Sorry there's leftover fish
Be careful Don't go into the sea
OK
The beach?
Yeah, let's go
Don't fall
I'm fine
And the Bay Stars baseball team?
These days,
I follow the Marinos
You, into soccer?
I catch games at the Yokohama stadium
Huh, who with?
Oh, who cares
We should go, with the kid
We should
One of these days...
That ship ran aground
Go see a dentist
One of these days
Don't keep putting it off
A single cavity can ruin your teeth
OK
It's too late if you have to pull them
OK, OK, OK
And take your weekends off
You're getting older
Yesterday, you said I was still young
Oh, here it is
I'm sure I still had something left to say
Come visit again, soon
Please teach me that sautéed radish recipe
I'd be happy to
I'm fine
Shaking hands?
Oh, who cares...
Bye, Father
See you
Good bye
You've got good manners
Excuse us. Then
They'll be back for New Years
We can pass on New Years now Once a year is plenty
Can't have them treating us too much Next time we won't spend the night
I told you so
We should've left before dinner, yesterday
I ate too much I put on 1 kilo
Seven bus stops ahead
I remember The name of that sumo wrestler
It's Kurohime-yama
It's always like this I'm always a little late
Don't do that stuff
Don't do what?
Shaking their hands They'll get the wrong idea
If a handshake gives them the wrong idea, I'm perfectly happy to
Oh, I remember
What?
The name of that sumo wrestler
Who?
Doesn't matter
Who is it?
It doesn't matter anyway
We never brought up that sumo wrestler
Three years later, Dad died
I never did get to a soccer match with him
Mom bickered with Dad until the day he died,
but she died soon after him
I never did give her a ride in a oar
It's so hot The water must feel good
Look, Mommy
Put them in here
Let's pray, then
Look, ants Watch your step, now
Look, a butterfly
They say yellow butterflies like that
are white ones that survive the winter and come back yellow the next year
Really?
Who told you?
I wonder who...
