What sort of Bon Festival did Mitsuo-kun have...
...who is working at the rice shop?
The work at a shop is painful
Oten no shigoto wa tsurai kedo
But I've got a huge dream in my heart
Mune nya dekkai yume ga aru
I've returned.
It's painful working at our shop?
Ah, no, dat was just da song.
Um, I just happened to be humming it...
You just happened to be singing it because you're happy at going home for the Bon holiday?
Well, that's...
The Bon holiday, huh? Must be nice having a place to go back to.
Eh? Ah...
My dead wife...
Though it'll be Bon, only her soul will be coming to our house.
Yes.
But... not her.
She can't come back, can she.
Wish I could meet her again...
Um... Ya could go and visit yer wife's grave again...
You can't go.
You're the worst.
Why's that?
You wouldn't like it, either.
If Mitsuo is gone, it'll just be the two of us for three days.
This and that are two seperate things.
Mom won't forgive you for exploiting her like that, either.
I don't want to see you, either. Want me to go to Ibaraki along with Mitsuo-kun?
Ah, do that.
No, no, no!
Ah... then I will go.
No, no, no!
Do you hate me coming along?
Well, why would ya do dat?
And 'sides, it'd be impossible ta get tickets anymore!
Ya definitely couldn't get any!
Well, like that...
...Mitsuo-kun returned to Ookuibaraki Village at last...
Why is it only ya came back?
Huh?
Both Mineko and Tokiko are busy with all sorts of things...
...and der short of money, so dey're holding out 'til New Year's.
So why are ya da only one ta come back fer?
What 'bout my standing?
My standing as da Chairman of the Ookuibaraki Mother's Association!
Ookuibaraki Mother's Association Chairman
What is dis... Though I went ta a lot of trouble ta come home...
Yer lookin' good.
Eh? Dad...
Ain't ya got the face of a real man now?
Nii-chan... Really?
Not really.
What is dis, geez...
Miyoko and Kimiko are comin' by later. Ta talk about Mineko and Tokiko.
You're looking well, Mitsuo-kun.
Working hard?
Yes, thankfully...
Ah, about Mineko and Tokiko...
Yeah.
Their factory gets Sundays off, but since I don't get Sundays off...
...I don't get to meet them very often.
But both of them are looking well and working hard.
Yeah.
There's nothing to worry about...
...but since comin' ta Tokyo der's been dis weird or dat strange thing...
...all comin' ta da surface.
But we're doing our best to keep our feet firmly on the ground.
I see.
Seems Mineko had a tough time doing well at her work at first.
I don't know all da details, but it seems her friends at da dorm are amazingly good at it...
...so with all der support...
...she was able ta get it done under her own power.
Ah... I see...
She was wearing da clothes ya made fer her and she treasures 'em.
And, you may have heard this from Tokiko...
That girl hasn't told me a thing!
Ah, is dat right...
I don't know how best ta tell ya dis...
Somehow she went ta a TV station ta take an audition dis once...
...but it seems she got nervous and couldn't get anything right... and failed it.
I see...
Ah, but it seems dat once her work is over, she goes and trains fer a play with a theater troupe.
Tokiko is doing okay.
Really?
I see... I see...
Please keep looking over her from here on too, Mitsuo-kun.
Please watch them, Mitsuo-kun.
No, you don't have to ask.
Thank you, Chairman!
What are ya sayin', Vice President!
Thank you, Chairman.
Like I said, what are ya sayin', Vice President!
This is thanks to you, Chairman!
What is dis?!
What are ya sayin'! Ya'd do da same fer me, Vice President.
Vice President
Chairman
There's only a Chairman and Vice Presidents, right?
And then Mitsuo got really busy.
I don't know why, but this man is here, too.
Ah, what brings you here, Muneo-san?
Well, since I'd heard ya'd be comin' home.
Ah, were ya worried 'bout Mineko?
Nah, ain't she doin' okay?
Ah... well...
Ah, then, anything about Minoru-san?
No, nothin' ya ain't heard before.
Ah, is dat right...
How is it in Tokyo?
How's what?
Ya been listenin' ta da Beatles?
Beatles? What's dat?
Huh?!
Geez, the young men of Ookuibaraki are so useless!
Why are ya so far behind da times? Music! Musicians! Rock and Roll!
Ain't ya heard, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"?
Sorry...
Ah, I know!
Music from America, Britain and France?
I saw them once on the TV news.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Wonderful, ain't dey? Cool, ain't dey? Da top, right?
No, not particularly.
Der was dat, right? Um... Dey let der hair grow long like a woman's...
...and dey have dis soft feel 'bout 'em. Don't like dat...
Like me, ya mean?
Ah! No!
Well, whatever.
Look, when Mineko went ta Tokyo...
...I asked her if she found any info on da Beatles, ta tell me.
Dat if she could lay her hands on any, I told her I'd send her da money fer it.
But I think she's fergotten all 'bout dat!
In da letters I get sometimes, all she says is "I'm doing fine."
Not even the character "Be" for Beatles in 'em.
Ain't da whirlwind dat's da Beatles blownin' through da young people of Tokyo?
I read 'bout it.
A wind ya can't even stands up in when it's blowin'.
No, ain't nothin' in particular blowin'...
Huh?! Dat's strange... How could dat be...
Sorry fer bein' of no help.
Well, dat's okay...
Den... how's about da people at yer work?
No, dey ain't heard of 'em either.
Whaa! Hey, stop!
If ya ever goes ta Tokyo, please don't come ta me.
What're ya sayin'? I'll drop by. Of course I'll drop by!
No, dat's okay! After all, dey eat natto and bread fer breakfast every day.
Ah, I love dat. I have dat every mornin'.
Eh?!
Yeah! Yeah!
Work hard until I come, Mitsuo!
Ya don't havta come!
What are ya sayin'!
Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow! Why me? That hurts!
In this way, Mitsuo-kun returned to his parent's home.
That was a bit long, wasn't it?
And then the seasons changed from Fall to Winter.
1960/Showa 40 - November
It's getting colder, isn't it?
It is, isn't it?
Sachiko-san, you're from Yamagata, right?
I guess you're strong against cold weather, aren't you?
That's not true.
Since even people of the north can't be unconcerned about the cold.
I don't like it very much myself.
Where I lived we'd get tons of snow.
It'd pile up higher than me. It'd pile up even higher than Tokiko-san.
Eh?! That high?
That high.
That's awesome!
Right?
Stop using me for examples such as that.
What's more, stop being surprised at my height.
Sorry.
Still, that's amazing amount of snow.
Right? I've never seen that much snow.
That's true...
Tomorrow is payday, right?
That's right.
It is, isn't it.
Ah...
Matsushita-san?
Oh! Were you at the bathhouse?
Yes.
Do you work until even this hour?
Eh? Ah...
Yeah, I guess.
Ah... you were at the bathhouse?
Yes.
I see.
So long; take care getting back.
Yes.
Thanks for your hard work.
Have a good night.
Matsushita-san looked tired and depressed, didn't he?
Yeah... I wonder if something's happened at the factory?
Eh?
His face did seem to show many difficulties on it.
True, true!
Really?
You're a dunce, aren't you?
Happy-go-lucky, aren't you?
Excuse me a minute, I need everyone's attention.
Eh... starting this month, your salary will be reduced by 10%.
I'm very sorry!
The cause is that the Apollon Company has adjusted their production volumes from us.
As a result, our company's sales have declined as well.
None of you are at fault for this.
Dad...
...my salary will go down a little starting this month.
How long will we have to endure this?
I can't... agree to this somehow.
That's true, huh.... We've been doing our work properly, right?
That's right.
Sachiko-san... you'll be okay, right?
Yeah. This will be a problem.
Yes?
May I come in?
Yes.
Aiko-san, I was thinking about calling on you just now.
Yeah... I understand.
Yes...
Just as Matsushita-san explained...
...it seems our earnings have gone down.
Painful, isn't it?
It's not any of your fault. I'm sorry.
But, this sort of thing has happened many times before.
In my experience.
But... Mukojima Electric has always come back.
I believe this company has that much strength to it.
And so... be patient and do your best through this.
Don't worry! Mukojima Electric isn't that weak of a company.
I believe that. Right?
Yes.
Then, I'll go on to the next room.
