Dad the laundry's done!
- Ok, I'll hang it to dry.
- I'll help too! - Sure.
- Here Dad. - Thank you.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Delivery for Kinoshita.
- Coming.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- I appreciate it. - Thank you.
It's from Grandpa. - Yup.
"Dear Miu, GrandPa and GrandMa,
from here on out, will be rooting
for you so
you can always count on us."
"We look forward to seeing you again."
"From GrandPa and GrandMa."
Let's visit them in Numazu sometime.
- Sure.
Did you finish all of your summer homework?
- It's already in my backpack. - Oh, good.
- Where's my slippers? - Being washed over there.
- Thank you.
Lastly, I have gym tomorrow so I need my exercise clothes.
- Tomorrow, Exercise clothes. Rodger.
Morning. - Morning.
Kei and Miu, when you finish breakfast
could you come to the house for a bit?
I want to propose a new lifestyle.
Good morning. - Good morning.
- Sit. Miu you can sit here too.
- Um, about this 'new lifestyle'?
- Oh no it's not that big a deal.
We all discussed what would be
the best way for you and Miu to live so that
there be no worries.
- That's why you rushed me down here? - Come on,
this is for your sake bro.
- Mom, announce it. - Yeah.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be eaten here.
Plus your cleaning, laundry, and some of your shopping
will be divided between Myself and Akane to do for you.
- Um, you don't have to suddenly do all this…
- It'll be fine since
as you work it'll be harder to do housework and childcare.
Of course the purpose of this
to reduce the burden on you by dividing tasks into small parts
between everyone. - What do you think Miu?
You don't want to eat at Auntie's house?
- I'm not against it but is there nothing for me to help with?
- A child's job is to paly.
- If all you do is play, then you'll end up like this person.
- Come on Mr. Mune. - Then Miu, you can
be in charge of gathering ones'
teacups and chopsticks.
Yes!
- I appreciate your concern
but at the moment I can handle it myself as I always have.
- We're aware of that,
however if we all don't take
care then isn't it possible for something to go wrong?
- What should we do? - I want to eat with everyone!
- Then how about for the time being
he just eat dinner here, then take a look at the situation
and make any changes later?
- Sure, thank you. I leave it in your care.
- Oh that's good.
- I'm so happy.

Morning - Morning.
Ah!
Geez Kotaro.
- I'm worn out.
I spent all yesterday doing my homework; it was tedious.
- That's because you didn't do a little everyday.
- On top of that Mom said to
"Study hard and go to college
to become a doctor or a lawyer or prime minister in the future."
- Future?
Huh! Kotaro, you're going to college?
- Not a chance. I hate studying.
Besides, I couldn't go even if I wanted to.
- Why can't you go if you want?
- You don't know? If you aren't
Suuuper smart or Suuuper rich,
you can't go to college.
- Really?
- That's the harsh reality.
Kei,
Mr. Mune, Mr. Mune, hold this.
This is a present from me. - Present?
- Ta-da!
- It's just a chalkboard. - Yes.
I'm going to write the day's objective
on this so Kei does't have to keep looking in his book.
- I see. Good idea!
Put up today's objective right away.
- Sure!
Let's see...
- That's it? And in Hiragana?
- But...
Addition materials will come in the afternoon
so until then we just work on this.
- That's right.
Thanks.
- You're welcome!
I'm home! - Welcome back.
How'd the opening ceremony go? - It was fun seeing everyone.
One of my friends went to Hawaii with their family.
Oh, it must be nice to have money.
Do we have money?
- Huh? - I guess we're not Suuuper rich then?
You have no problems living
so everything alright.
Did you have something you wanted to buy?
No. Where's Akane?
- She's upstairs.
A method to become smart quickly?
- I want to become smart quickly no matter what.
What should I do?
Let's see… I don't think there is a method to become smart quickly…
Wouldn't studying everyday
and reading lots of books be fine?
- I see.
Why do you want to become smart so quickly?
- Just something. - Hm?
Akio, I'm hungry. - What's for today?
- I say Sushi bowls. - Oh! Nice.
Good job. - You worked hard.
-Good job.
Miu's not back yet?
- No, she came back. She's in her room studying.
Studying? - Yeah.
Miu?
You already have homework on the first day of school?
- It's not homework. - Then why are you studying?
- I can't study if I don't have homework?
- No.
It's not that you can't...
- Hey Dad. - Hm?
- In order to go to college
I have to graduate from High School right?
- That's right. - And in order to go to High School
I have to graduate from Middle School right?
- Before going to Middle school you first have to finish elementary school.
- I have a lot of time ahead of me.
- Miu, You want to go to college?
- Yeah. Can I go?
- Of course.
Then you'll have to study as hard as you can.
- Yeah!
- That's admirable. Being able to study independently.
- Earlier, Miu asked me,
"What should I do to become smart quickly?"
- She asked me "Are we rich?"
- Then she said "I guess we're not Suuuper rich then?"
- Why would she ask such a thing?
- Kids are interested in many things
wondering how to be the best they can.
- We need to be careful not to
cause Miu any uneasiness.
Huh! She only in second grade and already thinking about college?
- I wonder how this came over her.
Even if she doesn't go to college,
she can live happily like me.
- Then in order to not be like you
you just need to go to college?
- What's that supposed to mean?
- However, it's good to have a dream.
- That's true.
Looks delicious.
Let's eat! - Let's eat.
- It really is more delicious when you eat with everyone.
- It's like our family grew.
- Is it good Miu?
Yeah!
- Kei, how did the materials go?
- What's that?
- I got a phone call earlier saying
that unless we sell at 70% of the the current cost in the future,
they won't buy from us. - Huh?
- If we sell at 70%, wouldn't that put us in a deficit?
- We'd drive ourselves into a deficit. Right Kei?
However, Toyoshiba is an important customer,
if we were to break from them over this...
- Surely they would understand that this would put us in
a deficit...
- This is just a thought but, How about we sell at 70% just
this time and then negotiate with them for 80% or else we
won't sell to them?
- I guess we could make some kind of profit at 80%.
- Since Toyoshiba is a longtime relationship,
if we explain our circumstances to them,
I'm sure they'd understand.
I'll go with you when you make the delivery tomorrow.
- Since you put it that way, I'm willing to give it a try.
- Then, I'll write the proposal for 80% tonight.
- Please do. - You two
must negotiate well.
- For Nakamura Industries' future.
- Do your best! - Yeah!
It be nice if the talks go well tomorrow.
- I'll do my best.
I feel indebted to you all...
Boss, Madam, Mr. Mune, Akio,
and of course you too.
- I didn't really…
I've realized that even if I resisted,
you guys would do your best
to try to help anyway you could.
- I was the same.
When I lived here long ago,
I used to think that close connections with people
were bothersome.
So what happened?
It's so comfortable now.
But you aren't staying here forever are you?
- Why? - Well...
You could find another job or remarry.
You're still young after all.
- It's alright.
Besides I still have things to think about.
- Think about what?
- It's a secret.
Goodnight.
Alright.
Let's do this.
- If we appeal wholeheartedly,
I'm certain they'll understand.
- Yeah.
We have no intention of
bullying Nakamura Industries.
We're just in the midst of a price war.
- Is there any way you could
rethink your position.
At least starting from next time,
we'd like you to buy from 80% of the current price.
- So you would be able to continue at 80% in the future?
- Yes. - We'd work hard to make it.
- What's the reason for wanting
80% instead of 70%?
- I've brought a proposal.
It has a detailed breakdown of our expenses.
Huh?
- Did you leave it in the car?
- I left it in the car?
I'll go get it. - I'll get it.
- But… - It's fine!
Excuse me. I'll be right back.
- I'm very sorry.
I'm sure I could get this
from your proposal but,
about how much is a kilogram of the raw materials for bearings?
- The steel for bearings has been calculated to be 180 yen per kilogram.
Excuse me a second.
- Sure.
- Mr. Kinoshita, you have a daughter right?
- Yes. - How old is she now?
- She just turned 8.
- 8 years old... So that means she's in...?
- Second grade.
- She must be a cute
- Yes.
- Sorry about that.
So, 180 yen right?
Well didn't you say it was 180 yen per kilogram?
Where do you purchase from?
I mean...
You are partially in charge of that right Mr. Kinoshita?
Wouldn't you know where you purchase from
and for how much?
- Um…
- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- What happened?
I was just asking Mr. Kinoshita now
a question about the costs of the materials for bearings
but he won't tell us.
- Kei.
- Sorry.
- It's not a problem.
Let's just see the proposal for now.
- Please. - Dad...
Because of our long time relationship with Nakamura Industries,
I will give this a favorable consideration.
Thank you so much!
Welcome home! - We're back.
- Dad welcome home. - I'm home.
- I set up the table. - I see.
- Sit. Sit. - How did it go?
- Will they buy at 80% as
we had hope. - Yeah, probably.
- Thank goodness.
- You worked hard.
I'll get it.
Hello, Nakamura Industries.
Yes, please hold for a moment.
It's from Toyoshiba Corp.
- Hello, I'm on the line.
Oh, Director thank you for taking the time out of your busy day...
Huh?
You think it's a fair market price?
Wait a minute please...
- We looked it over once again
and despite our business connection,
we've reached a tough conclusion.
- Oh dear.
Wait a minute Director!
- No good?
- They really won't buy at 80%.
Well there nothing we can do about it.
It's not like Toyoshiba Corp.
is our only source of business.
- Yeah.
- What's wrong? Is everything ok?
- Yeah! It's fine!
Miu, you have nothing to worry about.
Well let's eat. - Miu,
pass out the tea.
- Yes.
- Here please.
- What's wrong? - Hm?
- Something bad happened right?
- Nothing bad happened.
More importantly,
You borrowed a book from the library?
- Yeah.
This. - Oh,
"Nouguchi Hideyo" and "Nightingale" huh.
- You know these? - Of course I know them.
- Nightingale finally became a Nurse at 30 years old.
- Yeah, that was it.
- As long as you don't give up, your dreams will certainly come true right?
- That's right.
That's why you can never give up so that your dreams can come around.
- Yeah.
- Alright, bath time.
- Yes.
That's too bad, The Toyoshiba situation.
But what can you do? We're all in the recession together.
- I mentioned this to the boss,
At the meeting today,
it happened again.
That's why...
- Suppose
the reason why the deal didn't get made was your fault.
Then what?
Kei, didn't you decide to work hard here?
Knowing that such situations could arise,
we decided
to hang in there together.
- Akane.
- If you let this kind of thing get you down,
you lose.
Both you and us.
Don't you agree?
- You're right.
I can only do what I can as best as I can.
- That's right.
- For Miu's sake.
- Yeah.
You couldn't make a deal?
- Without Toyoshiba
won't our sales decline sharply?
- What are we going to do? At this rate
with Nakamura Industries becoming unstable, we'll be doing everything
but supporting Kei.
- It's alright. - What's alright?
- If we can't have Toyoshiba
we just have to find a new customer.
- But it's not that simple...
- We have something that we must protect.
If we let every little thing discourage us
How would we operate? - That's right.
Everyone was clearly determined earlier.
- Akio,
didn't you say that you'd work hard to support Kei?
- We can only move forward.
- I guess your right. - It is right.
- The boss occasionally say good thing too. - That "occasionally" was uncalled for.
- Good Morning. - Oh, Kei, morning!
- Good Morning!
- Akio, Mr. Mune,
The truth is that Yesterday... - We're done
discussing that.
- Kei,
Starting today, we're going to look forward.
- Hey that's what I just said a moment ago.
- It's fine if I tell him.
- Alright, Well I'll head into the factory first.
- Alright, let's work energetically. - Yeah, I'm counting on you!
さあ。
Boss.
- I'm counting on you again today.
- Yes.
- Even though I may cause me troubles in the future,
please continue to look after me.
- What's this guy saying? Right?
- You're our best employee Kei.
- Work hard.
- Yes.
Hey Akio, Let's do this this morning.
- Yes. Kei, do these please.
- Sure.
Hello cherished client this is Nakamura Industries.
Ah, thank you. I was wondering if
perhaps maybe you had some work you could give us this month...
- Hey... - Yeah. Pardon?
Huh? Oh you do?
Yeah Of course. We'll stay up all night
if we have to. Yes.
So you are going to live with Miu after all?
- Yes. With the help of everyone at work,
we'll make it work.
- You must truly
be happy Mr. Kinoshita.
I think so.
- Have you begun your preparations for 5 years from now?
Regarding that,
What specifically should I gather...
- The first thing you must think about
is whether or not you will live
with Miu when the disease progresses.
If you aren't going to live together, where are you going to live?
- You mean what institution will I go to?
- This is just one example but,
There was a situation in my family
where the person forgot their own name
so we panicked to find and institution
and when we finally found the best place we could dream of,
They were full
and told us there'd be a one year wait.
You should consider
how soon or late to enter into
care and how to pay for it.
Also consider the timing of when to
file disability and health benefits. - Yes.
Regrading property management and you daughter's career path,
who you can consult to take over. - Yes.
- Of course if new medicine comes to light, then all of this is no use.
However,
Because that isn't the current situation,
and we can't imagine 5 years from now,
it's best that we continue preparations for now.
- Yes.
- Of course I'm
doing the best I can to make sure
your disease doesn't progress any further.
- I'm in your care.
You're still awake?
- Yeah.
- Don't you have school tomorrow?
You have to go to sleep.
- Yes.
- You're 8 years old now right? - That's right.
Since 8 years old is 2nd grade,
then in 5 years...
- I'll be 13 years old.
- A middle schooler.
- Naturally. Why would you ask that?
- No,
It's just that I'm getting older too.
Everyone gets 1 year older each year.
- You're right.
Goodnight.
- Hey Dad.
I want to be like Noguchi Hideyo when I grow up.
- A doctor? - Yeah.
- But your dream...
I'm giving up being a ballerina, a cake shop owner, and a kindergarten
teacher so that I can be a doctor.
I want to become a remarkable doctor like Noguchi Hideyo
so that I can cure your illness.
- So that why you suddenly started reading so many books.
- I don't want to help just you
but all the people in the world troubled with disease.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
The Stanvale University Alzheimer's Research center
awaits your favorable reply.
Yes.
Thanks.
- Are the rumors of your resignation true?
- Goodnight.
- Excuse me.
This is my bankbook.
This is Miu's registration.
My seal.
The insurance policies
for life and school.
My ATM card and
this note has the pin number.
- Got it. We'll take responsibility for looking after this.
- That's admirable.
With you low monthly income
you still managed to put away for the future.
- Another thing, Even already told Miu this,
I'm going to head out for a while today,
so please watch Miu.
Birthday present?
- Yeah. - Oh?
You're going to get me a birthday present?
Hmm, What would be good?
- Sorry. - Huh? Wha.. Huh?
- It's not for you Nako.
- Huh? Then for who?
- Mm... Just a middle school kid.
Excuse me. - Yes?
I'm shopping for a 7th grade girl,
This one or this one...
Miu, are you cleaning?
- Yeah! - Please make sure you
get in the corners. - Yes.
- Hm? - Yes!
- Hm? - YES!
Alright.
"A present for a 9th grader?"
- "Something that has nothing to with fashion
would be nice." - "That's true..."
Welcome.
"For an 18 year old Miu?"
- "Yeah."
"What kind of stuff did you want at that age?"
Are you looking for a present?
Miu, shall we get going?
- Yeah.
Let's go! - Yeah, Let's go.
What should we make for Dinner today?
What do you want to eat Miu? - Hmmm...
- I made fried eggs with dad before.
- Huh!? Fried eggs?
- What are you doing Kei?
- Don't worry about it. Go away.
- Huh?
- Then let's make plain old fried eggs. - Yeah!
- Should be fun.
- Hey, Kei?
Kei. Kei?
Hey, Akane? - Hm?
Why are we patting these?
- To push out the air. - What happens if air gets in?
- Hm? Well they become tasty when you take the air out...
Oh. - I did it.
- It's a big one.
Oh, you did that beautifully.
- Looks delicious. - Yeah.
- I'm back. - Welcome back Kei.
- Welcome home. - I'm home.
- Look at this sunny side up egg,
I made it. - Oh?
- She also helped to make
this Squash Miso Soup. - The Salisbury Steak too.
- That's amazing.
- From now on, I'm going to think of all kinds of new recipes
to make for you to eat.
- Thanks.
I look forward to it.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
To 13 year old Miu,
Happy Birthday.
This isn't
just a recording,
this is me personally saying it as I want to say,
as I intend to say...
If,
I happen to forget your birthday...
In case I forget your birthday,
I'm recording it now.
How's middle school?
Are you cheerfully going everyday?
When you were in second grade,
you had a dream to become a doctor.
Before that, it was a ballerina.
Before that, a cake shop owner.
And before that,
You said you wanted to be a Kindergarten teacher?
What does 7th grade Miu want to be?
In the future,
you'll meet all types of people,
experience all types of things,
and probably change your mind.
In any case,
because it's wonderful to have a dream...
I know you'll always dream big,
and work hard towards that dream.
In life
you'll face many things that
will discourage you no matter
how hard you've worked.
However,
I think it's important to work
towards that dream even if it
Honestly,
Whenever you are troubled or discouraged...
And I'm always by your side...
To give you any advise I can...
However...
Someday,
The day
when I will be unable to do that will come.
Miu,
I'm sorry for being this way.
But I...
Even if
I become unable to celebrate your birthday...
I love you.
More than anything else in the world.
Please don't forget that that will never change.
