Hakodate Atsuko Akanegi Part 2
Sometimes love isn't the answer for everything.
Atsuko, l don't want you to have any regrets...
You calmed down?
This is about the only thing l have, but...
You should go home after you finish that.
l'm pretty sure your mother is worried.
l don't want to go home.
Atsuko...
The only thing my mother is worried about is money.
She doesn't care about me.
l see.
That's why you ran out of the house, huh?
lt's not that l dislike him.
l do know that Minoru puts me first in everything.
But l don't want to marry someone because of a debt.
Can l smoke one?
Have you ever smoked before?
No, but l just feel like it.
lf you ever want to have a healthy baby, you'd better not.
What is marriage anyway?
l've always thought it was for two people who loved each other,
but it seems like that's not how it is in real life.
Hey, have you ever wanted to marry someone before?
Why do you ask?
l'm curious.
l don't remember. lt was a long time ago.
That can't be true.
ls it something you can forget so easily?
Can you really forget about someone you've wanted to marry?
Does marriage mean that little to men?
lt's not that...
You've had too much to drink.
l'm fine. Let me go.
Am l not good enough for you?
Atsuko...
l know l'm a strange match for you, but l like you, Mr. Kurata.
l feel comfortable when l'm with you.
lt's like l can be really honest with myself...
Or like l can say anything that l'm thinking...
lf l ever get married to someone, l want him to be just like you.
Atsuko, l don't have the right to love anyone, so...
What am l...
lf l ever get married to someone, l want him to be just like you.
l'm gonna kill myself! l'm gonna bite my tongue and kill myself!
Mr. Kurata?
Good morning. If you need something contact this place. Kurata
Are you hungry?
Now what do l do...
Let's see...
Wait just a second, okay?
She's been gone since last night?
Yes, maybe l shouldn't have been so hard on her.
lt can't be...
Maybe we should call the police.
That's not a good idea.
l'll ask my guys to find her.
That's why l told her not to hang out with a guy like him.
Hello? This is Jinguji.
l'm calling regarding the matter l asked you to investigate...
Okay, where's the mirin?
Hey, do you know where l can find the mirin?
Guess you wouldn't know.
This is...
Oh no!
There!
Meuniere! Hey, wait!
Jeez...
Meuniere!
Are you Miss Atsuko Akanegi?
Atsuko!
Minoru?
l've been looking for you.
You should stay away from that guy. Let's go home.
l don't want to.
Atsuko!
Why? Why don't you just listen to me?
Have you ever thought what people would say if they found out
that you spent the night at some guy's apartment when you're about to get married?
lt's none of your business, is it?
lt's not like l'm your property or anything.
Besides, we have nothing to be ashamed of.
Even if he was married?
He has a wife and a kid in Tokyo.
Although he got divorced three years ago, and he's been living on his own ever since.
Hey, have you ever wanted to marry someone before?
l don't remember. lt was a long time ago.
l thought so. He hasn't told you anything, has he?
But now you know, he's trying to trick you.
Let's go home, your mother is worried about...
Atsuko...
l'm sorry, but l can't be convinced until l hear it directly from him.
Hey, quit it! That's my lunch!
l said no!
Meuniere! l said no!
Meuniere! Beware of Bears
Meuniere!
l'll come for you again later this evening.
l want you to get your feelings in order by then.
Hello, Diamond Dust.
l'm sorry, but Kurata is working right now.
May l ask who's calling?
Hello? Hello?
What am l? What am l to Mr. Kurata?
What?
A phone call?
Yeah...
Who was it?
lt sounded like a young girl.
Boss, l hate to do this, but...
Go.
l'm so sorry for all the trouble.
No, don't worry about it.
You know you're in no position to criticize, Sanae.
Who are you?
l came because l heard my dear great-granddaughter's
betrothal gift exchange was coming up, and what do l see...
ls it impossible to arrange a marriage without a fuss?
Grandma?!
The Foreigners' Cemetery
Old Public Hall of Hakodate Ward
Atsuko?
Meuniere, keep her here if she comes back, okay?
l'm counting on you.
The girls of the Kamata family haven't been able to land a decent marriage for generations,
AKANEGl FRESH FlSH MARKET The girls of the Kamata family haven't been able to land a decent marriage for generations,
AKANEGl FRESH FlSH MARKET and that includes myself and Sanae there as well.
Grandma...
l'm sure you've heard about your father and Sanae.
What?
She turned down the engagement with Mr. Jinguji.
lnstead, she fell in love with some guy from God only knows where and ran away with him.
She's a fool.
Opening this business together was fine and all, but her husband dropped dead at a young age,
and now she's up to her ears in debt.
Yes, l know that.
That's why l at least want her to have...
l want Atsuko to have a happy marriage.
So when Mr. Jinguji asked me to forget about the past,
and give him permission to marry her,
l thought it would give Atsuko a happy life.
Oh dear...
What is happiness, anyway?
Does it mean to live a life of luxury?
Or are you happy as long as you have love, even if you have nothing else?
Minoru...
Yes?
Are you confident that you can make Atsuko happy?
Thank you for using the Mt. Hakodate Ropeway.
The last downward train of the day will depart momentarily.
All passengers, please be sure not to miss this train.
l can tell this tuna was frozen, it's oozing.
And this negitoro isn't the real thing. They just put some fish oil in it.
They'd better start using better fish for what they're selling, or people will stop buying it!
What am l doing?
Dad, buy me that!
l just bought you the same thing the other day!
l still want it! Buy that for me!
Nothing to be done about you, is there?
What were you thinking, falling asleep in a place like that?
lf you caught a cold or something, you'd really have to miss work then.
l'm sorry.
l thought l'd cook something for you before you came home,
but l wasn't paying attention and ended up burning the pot.
Then Meuniere took off when l opened the window.
l just didn't know what to do after that, and...
Don't worry about it.
l'm sorry.
Say...
What?
Aren't l heavy?
l'm okay. See?
Dad...
Mother!
l can't believe you!
How much trouble will you cause people before you're satisfied?!
Goodness! What am l going to do with you?
AKANEGl FRESH FlSH MARKET
ls your foot healed already?
AKANEGl FRESH FlSH MARKET Yes, thank you!
Good afternoon.
You again?
Well, this is my job.
We still have some time until the deadline, don't we?
Yes, you do, however l've heard a rumor that the financing by Mr. Jinguji might fall through, so...
How much?
Great grandma?!
What are you doing here?
The Kamata family will make an advance on the store's debt.
C'mon, tell me how much before l change my mind.
Kamata... You mean... the Kamata family from Oono?!
You have been such a great customer to our business!
Pleasure to meet you, Ma'am!
But...
Don't get the wrong idea.
This is a gift from me to my dear great-granddaughter.
And one more thing...
His name is Gen.
l know him from the restaurant l always go to. He's a customer there.
l asked him to help with this shop starting today.
Nice to meet you all.
What?
Oh, no, Mother and l are enough to run this place just fine!
You're in debt because you're not enough.
Those precious fresh fish will go bad if you don't have enough people to sell them.
Anyway, Atsuko...
l want to you to come with me for a moment.
To where?
To a department store.
Even a beautiful flower can look like it's wilting if you don't know how to arrange it.
America?
lt has been my long-cherished dream
to play at a real jazz club.
lt's still at the auditioning stage, but l finally heard from them the other day.
Congratulations.
No...
l've sacrificed so many things for my dream.
My friends, my wife and even my kid...
l devoted myself entirely to jazz and they all got fed up with me.
l see...
We'll be able to see each other again, right?
Atsuko, have you heard of ''diamond dust'' before?
Sometimes on a clear morning, the wind sparkles with it.
They say a couple who sees it can have eternal happiness.
l hope you find someone soon who makes you want to see the diamond dust with him.
Mr. Kurata...
l'm sorry,
but l don't think l deserve this engagement with you, Minoru, so...
Actually...
l'm the one who has to apologize.
Your great grandmother asked me if l'm confident l can make you happy.
And what did you tell her?
l told her l'm not sure.
You're pretty honest, huh?
l'm sorry.
But maybe that's just the way it is when it comes to marriage.
No one knows what's going to happen in the future.
Exactly, no one does, but that's what makes me want to try harder.
l'm not saying l've given up on you.
Until the day you turn and look my way, l'll...
