Good morning. This is abrupt, but here is Tokyo, Nihonbashi.
Tokyo, Nihonbashi
When he came to Tokyo along with Mineko and Tokiko...
...this is where Mitsuo went to work.
Abe Rice Shop
Now, just what is Mitsuo up to this minute...
Where Mitsu is working at is...
...a tiny rice shop on the outskirts of Nihonbashi.
Apparently that is quite different from what Mitsuo had imagined...
...and he is the sole employee.
Mitsuo-kun!
Ah, yes?
The Owner's Only Daughter Abe Saori
Dinner.
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
Mitsuo! It's food! Food! Food! Come!
Yes!
Never mind that, and come! Hurry and come!
Rice Shop Owner Abe Zenzo
Ah... yes.
They ask me fer dat but only da two of 'em get ta eat...
Mitsuo-kun!
Mitsuo!
Yes, right away!
Sorry about that.
Rice? Bread?
Obviously he'll have rice, right?
I was asking Mituso-kun.
Ah, well, um...
That the daughter of a rice shop would eat bread...
It's not like I wanted to become the daughter of a rice shop. Right, Mitsuo-kun?
Well...
And it's not like I wanted to become the owner of a rice shop.
Right, Mitsuo!
Ah, well, um...
Mitsuo-kun, do you know what my dream is?
No, I ain't got no idea.
It's that someday, when I become the master, I'll open a bread shop here.
Eh? Well...
And just who is its "master"?
Knowing he'd be stubborn about it, I'm thinking of having a bread shop next door.
It'd be great, right? I could sell sandwiches and such.
Well, well, well... um...
And? Which will it be?
Rice? Bread?
Which?
Well, um... which... Um, well...
Make it clear! Whose side are you on?!
Which? Which of us are you picking?!
Well, well...
Well, that's his situation. Good luck, Mitsuo!
Somebody save me!
Now, today's the start of Mineko and the other's first day off.
It's great they have such great weather for it, isn't it?
I wonder where these girls are off to?
By the way, this factory only closes on Sundays.
It's on the weekly holiday system.
Yuko, are you okay? Are you feeling ill?
Are you okay, Yuko-san?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. Just a bit tired is all.
What with all of you coming, I've had so much fun I overdid things.
Are you really okay? Want me to stay in?
I'm fine.
Since if I take it easy for today, I'll get my strength back.
And besides, you've got a date don't you, Sachiko?
Eh?!
A date...
I was thinking that's what it was since earlier.
What with that cute outfit.
A date, huh...
A "date." We're just meeting to talk.
That's a date, isn't it?
And? And, and, and? Just where are you going on this date?
"Where"... To a movie...
A movie? What are you seeing?
I was thinking we'd watch "My Fair Lady."
Ah... I was thinking of seeing that one, too!
Really?
Yes!
It's wonderful one.
A poor flower-selling girl meets a rich gentleman...
...and he turns her into a wonderful lady.
Ehh...
That sounds nice somehow.
But my date...
...said he wants to go see some Western or other...
...and we got into a fight over it.
Ehh...
That does have the feel of a pair of lovers, doesn't it?
Really?
Yes.
Tokiko, where are you going today? You've been writing down something since earlier.
I'm going to check out the enemy today.
Eh? What's that about?
I'm thinking of going around and checking out TV stations and movie companies and the like.
Hmm...
Ehh... that's incredible.
At long last, Tokiko's battle starts.
You won't... forget about me, will you?
What are you talking about?
Ah, Sumiko, what'll you do today?
I'm gonna sleep.
Eh?
You're always sleeping though, aren't you?
I don't sleep ALL the time!
It's just that in my farmer's family, ever since my Mom died and was gone...
...there was always things to do in either the fields or in the house.
From first thing in the morning till it was bedtime, there was always something I had to do.
And I'd never get a day off throughout the year.
When I think about it... It makes me so happy.
That I get a whole day off and I don't have to do a single thing that entire day.
Being able to sleep and dream all day is like something out of a story.
It's true; there are no Sundays off in agriculture.
I can understand that.
Right? That's true.
So true.
You've got a point.
It was like that at my home, too.
And for me, too, though in Akita it's a fish farm.
Would you call it a fishery? Still, it was the same for me.
But you're great, Sumiko. You took your Mom's place?
Then what's happening at your house now?
Dad... got us a new Mom.
So you could say... I wasn't needed anymore.
No...
That's why I can't go back.
Still, I love it here. I want to stay here forever.
You would, wouldn't you?
Sumiko!
Sleep in as much as you want!
I will!
Yeah!
What will you do, Toyoko? Study?
Yes. I feel I want to graduate from correspondence high school...
...and get as many qualifications as I can, too.
I see.
But though it's just a correspondence school...
...I'm glad I get to study hard for it.
When I was at home...
...I was always being told, "Even if a woman does study, it's of no use"...
...so I had to hide that I was studying.
Being in this bright room...
...and being able to spread out my notes and study... makes me so happy.
With me sleeping, we can be happy together, right?
Eh...?
Why the look of disgust?
Well, only because it's like that.
What's that?
Yes?
My! You're all still here.
Good morning.
'Morning.
Ah, Mineko-san, a package has arrived for you.
Ah, thank you very much!
Ah, it's from Mom.
What are all of you going to do on your day off?
How about you, Aiko-san? Will you be going out?
Yeah. I'm going to Chiba to visit a grave.
Is it your family's grave, Aiko-san?
No. My family's grave is in Asakusa; very far away.
The grave I'm going to today... well...
...is of the someone very precious to me.
He died during the war.
Your precious person...
Yeah.
We had promised to get married.
That, "we'll be together someday"...
The man who'd work with me at the same factory.
He was an incredibly handsome man.
You could say he looked a bit like the actor Mori Masayuki.
I wonder if you know him?
Ah, sorry, sorry. It's gotten too serious, hasn't it?
Mineko-san, what did your Mom send you?
Ah... Let's see...
It has the scent of Ibaraki.
Aiko-san, have some too! Go on!
Thank you!
Here, all of you have some, too!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Have some.
Itadakimasu.
How about you, Mineko-san? Aren't you going out?
Ah... well... since I haven't written any letters at all...
...I'll first write a letter to everyone at home...
...and then after that, I thought I'd go to Asasaka.
Akasaka?
Yeah.
Is there something there?
There's a western restaurant there...
Hold on a minute.
This is it.
Suzufuritei
That's right! I haven't told them about it yet.
Yeah.
Haven't told us what?
Let's see... I...
My Dad came to Tokyo as a migrant worker...
...but last year in the Fall... how do I put this... we weren't able get in touch with him...
...so could you say he's a missing person? Something like that.
And then, what I really wanted to do after graduating...
...was to get into agriculture...
...but I suddenly got work and could come out to Tokyo.
And then by chance, it turned out to be the same company as me, right?
Yeah.
Ah, my...
And then we both cried because we were so happy, right?
Yeah!
So it was like that... It was like that, huh?
Yes.
This western restaurant is a store where my Dad went to many times...
...and has incredibly friendly and nice people in it.
And when my Mom went to Tokyo to look for my Dad...
...they were kind to her, too. So I thought when I came to Tokyo...
...I would go and greet them and say, "I'm his daughter. I'm here in Tokyo."
Really?
Yes.
Huh? What's that? What's going on?
Mineko, you have a guest!
I do?
It's a man! And a handsome one!
Mitsuo?
But he's nothing to get in a fuss over.
That's right.
Hurry! C'mon, hurry up!
Ah, yeah.
Um... I'm Yatabe Mineko...
You're Mineko-chan?
Ah... that's right.
Police Box Officer Watahiki Masayoshi
I'm Watahiki of the Akasaka 5-chome police station. Nice to meet you.
