I think...

1964/Showa 39 - December 23rd
In Ookuibaraki village as well, the year was coming to a close and preparations for Winter were underway.
The New Year's day her father had promised he would return on, was almost here.
Grandpa's still making charcoal?
He's working hard at it.
We'll make mochi-tsuki tomorrow, won't we?
(sticky rice cakes)
Eh? Mineko, aren't you going to the movies?
Nope; not going.
Eh?
It's a Yoshinaga Sayuri movie, isn't it? It's very popular, isn't it?
"Gazing at Love and Death." Don't you want to see it, Mineko?
You're wrong, Mom.
I do love happy movies but I'm no good with the sad ones.
That's why I don't wanna see that movie.
I don't want to see any movies other than happy ones right now.
Really?
Yeah.
Yoisho! Yoisho!
Dad...
...as the New Year approaches, how are you getting along?
I've heard winters in Tokyo are a bit warmer than they are in Ookuibaraki...
...but is that true?
This year's Winter feels a bit colder than usual somehow.
All of us are looking forward to spending New Year's with you, Dad.
Please come home, okay?
I will trust in you and wait.
This one's quite big.
You're right.
Please take it.
Yes.
Hello! Hello!
Well, hello!
Kimiko-san, hello.
Yeah. Working hard, aren't you?
Miyoko.
Huh?
Give me a minute.
Eh?
There!
Um, it ain't much, but dis might be of some use ta ya. Okay?
That's okay, that's okay. I can't take this.
What are ya saying?
However ya think about it, yer in some trouble right now.
So just take it.
I said I can't!
Why not?
That's obvious, isn't it?
Because we've been bosom friends all our lives.
I don't want to borrow money and start feeling inferior to you.
Ya don't haveta feel dat way...
I'm not taking it, Kimiko! I'm not!
All right already. I'll come back again.
Eh? What's with the "I'll come back again"?
Shaddup!
Kimiko!
Shaddup!
Ever since Minoru-san had gone missing in September...
...his money transfers to the Yatabe family had stopped.
I've come again.
Kimiko-san...
I'm comin' in! There!
Dis is our end-of-the-year gift to ya from our family.
Dese are da products of our feelings for ya and not a product of money.
So ya can accept dese.
Dis is meat! Right?
Dis is salmon.
No complaints, Miyoko? None, right?
Geez...
I will accept these with gratitude.
We've gotten along well this year.
So, next year, too.
Kimiko-san... thank you.
Yeah... Ah, dis was so heavy.
That's only obvious when you carry it all by yourself!
Whaa! This is incredible!
At last, the big end of the year was here.
It's almost time for it to come.
Looking forward to this, aren't we?
We are.
Huh? Look there.
Ah!
It's coming! It's coming, it's coming!
It's coming...
Let's wait on the other side!
Mineko, sorry. This is the last bus of the year.
Jiro-san, you don't have to apologize.
Have a great new year!
Have a great new year.
Kotoro-san, you have a great new year, too.
Yeah.
Let's go home.
Yeah.
Dad isn't coming home?
Yeah... I'm sure it's since he's busy with work.
Yeah.
C'mon, let's go home and watch the "Red vs White Singing Contest."
Let's.
Yeah.
Wait!
Susumu!
I'm first!
Ah... I'm tired!
Welcome back.
We're back. It was cold, wasn't it?
The bath is heated, so go get in it.
Ah... Wait, Susumu!
Oh... that's looking good.
It's delcious.
Here, Mineko.
Thank you!
Susumu.
Thank you.
Chiyoko.
Thank you!
That's great, isn't it?
100 yen!
Whaa... That's a lot, isn't it?
I got 200 yen.
Since you're an older sister.
Grandpa, thank you.
Yeah.
Can you hold on to it properly? Want me to hold on to it for you?
I'll hold on to it myself.
Everyone, please listen.
I've decided that this Spring, after I've graduated from high school, I'll be going to Tokyo.
Eh? You are, Onee-chan?
Yeah. And, and...
I thought I would look for Dad while I was at it.
Dad?
It seems Dad's gotten lost somewhere in Tokyo.
That's why I'm going to try and find him.
Chiyoko. Help out here as much as you can.
Yeah...
And Susumu, be reliable, too.
Yeah...
Yeah.
Grandpa... Mom...
Please take good care of the Yatabe family.
What are you saying?
And speaking of which!
These are my New Year's gifts to you!
Here, Chiyoko.
Thank you.
Here, Susumu.
Thank you.
That's great, isn't it?
Onee-chan!
Onee-chan...
What is this? I didn't put in enough to cry over.
What is this? I haven't gone yet.
Mineko.
I need to apologize to you.
Why?
For making you have to make that decision.
And for making you have to say that.
That wasn't... fair of me, was it?
I should have been the one to say it.
I should have been the one who asked this of you.
I thought this in my head.
"Since her Father isn't here..."
"...I need Mineko to do this in order to protect our family."
Stop it.
Don't do that...
You shouldn't have had to say it, Mom.
That's why I said it myself.
So don't tell me this.
Don't tell me this... please.
Don't tell me this...
All right.
Mom...
Dad...
...didn't come back, did he?
Yeah.
It'll be okay.
