Kuro?
Huh?
Kuro!
Where the hell...
Hold on a second!
You've got the wrong idea!
There's nothing between the newbie and me!
You don't believe me?
Believe me!
I believe you.
That was a number from S.S. Orchestra, a most notable group of buskers.
Now then! This week's horoscopes.
The luckiest this week are:
those born in December!
Ebi soup and butterfly nets are sure to bring you luck!
A man you meet this week may be meant for you.
But you'll have to put yourself out there!
Be sure to test the water with men you meet this week!
One among them may bring you a wonderful future.
Now, then! For our final--
Are afternoons always like this?
Like what?
This slow.
It's so slow that it's awesome.
What would you recommend?
This.
Anything else?
The jam-filled bread from two doors down.
This is all, then.
420 yen.
Rei-san, good morning!
Gou-san, good morning!
About the net... which would you like?
The net is supposed to be symbolic... get a bigger one.
Okay.
Gou-san! Good morning.
About the gun for the actor...
I finally found the exact model you wanted! Have a look.
It's a heavy one.
That's because it's real.
You know we can't use this.
Get a different one ready.
Which should I wear?
Um... I'm Kizashi, the newbie. I hope I fit in here!
Work hard.
I've got high hopes for you.
Okay.
I've also got high hopes for you.
I'm not going with you on the weekend.
I can't go on a trip when I'm feeling like this.
I told you that I'm sorry.
Why didn't you keep your promise?
You promised me you'd submit it.
I'll go do it today.
It's pointless if it's not on my birthday.
There's always next year.
You're telling me to wait a year?
Are you seriously thinking of having me wait until next year?
If so, we're over.
The end.
That's not what I meant.
I can't trust a man who sleeps in on such an important day.
I really can't do it.
Who requested a copy of my family register from Matsudo?
Who asked their aunt and uncle to be witnesses?
Who had me take care of preparations and promised to submit the form to the government?
Why couldn't you get it done?
I was up all night developing film.
I had a deadline.
Should you be sleeping in, then?
You're the one who said
that you'd register our marriage on my birthday.
"I don't want a ceremony,
so I'll submit it on a day that makes it special"... who said that?
Where's the tempura?
You are a complete idiot.
An absolute moron!
I feel so hot I could die.
This is like hell.
Hell would be hotter.
You ate more bread, didn't you?
You should let things that small slide.
You cheeky brat.
When will you let me work the dough?
A little shit like you
is married to the register for life.
I know your dirty little secret.
That beef-filled bread our last customer bought?
You advertise it as 100% Kobe beef, but you're using mutton.
Shut up.
You're making record profits and don't give even a little more to your employees.
You're a low one.
The door is there if you want to leave.
There are any number of people who can replace you.
Fine, I'll leave so that you can find one.
Hold your horses!
Pay for the bread.
Wait a second!
Wait up!
I need your measurements for the outfits.
I won't need them anymore.
Can I have you read lines with me?
I'm not a part of this anymore!
Okay, okay, I know!
Give me two weeks to figure--
This isn't about "figuring something out"!
Could you apologize to Rei
and have her come back?
Having her replaced would be really bad for me.
I understand.
That's it for today!
Time for a break.
Um... can this be fixed?
Is there anything you can do?
Seeking apprentices.
No problem. I'll take care of it.
Thank you very much!
Bang!
Been a while.
Have we met?
Not a once.
And you say it's been a while.
It's been a while since I've seen someone so cute.
Want to give acting a shot?
It won't be a waste of your time!
Do you figure we meet the most important people when we least expect it?
I've brought it for you.
Little lady!
Bring me a towel.
Sakai Gouichirou. 36 years old.
Little lady.
Oh, I get it!
We're playing hide-and-seek!
What the...?
Now it has been a while!
What?
Are they--
Come on, now!
Wait, wait, wait!
How about saying thanks?
I didn't ask you to help me.
Who is Rei?
Why do you have that?
You're not going to answer it?
- Why do you have that?
- I guess you're not.
Yeah, like I said, it's not what you think!
Huh?
I get it, I get it, I get it!
You're leaving the part... you're really leaving the part.
But you're a wonderful actress.
If you decide to come back, we'll be ready and waiting!
Okay?
You're lucky to get out of taking the bus.
Yeah.
You two got to meet me!
Just stay on this road.
This is the first time I've had two hitchhikers.
I'm not a hitchhiker.
Where are you two going?
Get her!
This is just for a week.
The place was shut down.
My uncle died half a year back.
Don't touch the books.
Bang!
Okay, good night.
You're up pretty early.
It'd be earlier at the bakery.
Sorry, but smoke that outside.
On to the afternoon in southern Kanto:
Getting cloudier as the day goes on.
The weather may be getting worse,
but it shouldn't become a big issue.
Let's hike up the mountain!
I hear we can see Mt. Fuji from the summit.
I've got developing to do, so I'm out.
You two go on up.
He said it'll be cloudy in the afternoon.
It's my aunt and uncle's.
You can help yourselves.
You shouldn't do that.
The waves are too tall.
I'm very familiar with the waters here.
I'm a black belt. I'll be fine.
Have at it.
This is the tallest this year.
They're pretty tall.
Want some?
I found some huge ebi! 3 of them, even!
Got a big stick?
Can't miss this chance!
That smells good.
He made it for you.
Thanks.
But I'd rather sleep than eat, for now.
Sure.
Good night.
You can have it when you wake up.
We expect a belt of high pressure from Eastern to Western Kanto.
Due to this, we expect today to be a perfect day for going out.
And now for southern Kanto's weather.
Let's hike up there today.
The weather report said the skies are lookin' clear.
We'll be able to see Mt. Fuji clearly from the peak.
I'm going to chill out in the darkroom.
You two go on up.
I don't even like mountains.
I thought this would happen
so I brought
a change of shoes.
Mt. Fuji.
Want this?
Oh.
What're you looking at?
The sound of the waves.
What've you been doing well into the mornings?
Writing a screenplay.
You're the lead.
Left!
Good.
Straight ahead!
- Left! Left! - Straight!
Right!
There! Straight! Straight! - Left! Left!
- Straight! Straight!
- There you go, keep going straight! - Right! To the right!
- Right! Right! - Left!
- Left! Yeah, there you go! Left! - Right! Right! Right!
- A little left, just a little left! - Right! Right!
Perfect! Right there! - Left, you idiot! Left!
You can totally be an actress!
It doesn't suit me!
I think you could be a great actress.
Why not at least give it a shot?
How about trying it out?
It's coming down!
Hashimoto Nana.
H - A - S - H - I - M - O - T - O.
N - A - N - A.
Born December 12, 1980.
This flour of yours
is for making your boyfriend's favorite tempura.
That's all there is to it?
I wish you wouldn't make it so misleading.
I told you to smoke outside.
It keeps the bugs away, though.
Yamamoto Momo.
17 years old.
Where did you come from?
What's your name?
What were you trying to do?
Coffee.
How many sugars?
3.
Daruma-san has fallen over!
[Red Light Green Light, Statues, Grandmother's Steps etc]
Daruma-san has fallen over!
Daruma-san has fallen over.
Daruma-san has fallen over!
Daruma-san has fallen over.
Daruma-san has fallen over!
Daruma-san has fallen over.
They said the bike isn't allowed.
Forgetting anything?
When's takeoff?
You'd be able to write it faster on a computer.
Were computers around in Shakespeare's time?
You can't write a proper story on a computer.
For that, handwriting is better. How your hand feels goes through the pen and into the written words, giving them life.
Even the feelings you had when you wrote it are shown in your strokes.
You can deal with all of that later. Those feelings are important.
I'm the type who could never do it on a computer.
If you handwrite it all, there will only be one copy of the work. Nobody can copy it.
And that will help you take care of it.
Wait, why? What happened?
Why didn't you come pick me up?
What are you talking about?
Hey... hold on, now.
Nana!
Wait!
Could you please just wait?
Why?!
Why are you always like this, Eito?
Like what?
You're never around me unless you want me around you.
What are you going on about?
If this is how things will be, we won't work out.
Come on, slow down.
Let go!
Hey!
Is it actually around here?
I'm sure it is.
I remember the places I've lived in the past.
Are you happy now?
Let's go home and eat.
Nothing here has changed.
Grandma.
Grandma!
Kuro-chan?
It's been so long!
Okaaaay, fill yourself up!
It looks great!
She was with me for 7 years.
Her name was Niwa-chan.
[niwa = chicken]
She was very special to me for a long time.
Now then. Go ahead and eat!
I... I don't think I can eat Niwa-chan if she was that special.
Don't worry about that! Eat to your heart's content!
Go ahead.
You sure?
Niwa-chan!
Farewell, Niwa-chan!
Oh, I'm sorry!
Go ahead, eat up!
Oh no!
Niwa-chan's collar!
I cooked it along with her!
The necklace!
You're hurting me...
He's been spending his nights writing a screenplay for me.
I think acting suits you.
I think I'll at least give it a shot.
If it works out, I'll make a lot of money.
And with that money I can turn your inn into a bakery.
So...
Can I live there?
I want to.
It even has a kitchen.
I can turn the living room into a cafe.
I can make a brick oven.
And grow wheat in the garden
without pesticides.
There's even an elementary school nearby.
Since it'll be pesticide-free, it can go in school lunches.
I can make Sakura-pan for people who come to see sakura in the spring.
I can sell freshly baked bread to swimmers in the summer.
And to tourists who visit for the turning leaves in the fall.
And spend the winters inside enjoying the ocean.
Once I've got enough money, I can crack the whip on someone working the register.
And you can focus on your work around here.
The collar...
You're spineless!
Why didn't you wake me up?
Today was just full of surprises.
First I was about to get strangled, now I could catch a cold...
But, in the end, none of that matters!
There was some good in it, too.
What might it be?
I finished the screenplay!
I wrote this with you in mind.
Give it a read.
At least give it a glance.
As I said before, you're the lead.
It'll be your debut work.
You start in only a week, but it won't be a problem at all!
I tailored the lines to suit you, so you can memorize them all easily.
And...
I'm with you. So you can just leave everything in my hands!
You will
become a great actress for sure!
What are you doing?
Keeping the bugs away.
I'm off.
Okay.
I picked them up at the beach.
You can have it.
I don't need it.
I suppose love is a Grand Illusion.
[1937 French film title]
You take it.
We bought this together.
You take it.
No.
I got one for my birthday last year, so I have two.
Everyone thought we'd never break up.
And here we are, engaged, and breaking up.
Who knows what'll happen to us after this?
Life is just full of unknowns.
I guess that's what makes it fun.
If I end up living with someone again, I hope it'll be for the rest of my life.
Since moving is such a pain.
You'll find someone good soon enough, Nana.
You too, Eito.
Kuro!
