Ah... I want to sing.
Let's do it!
Let's sing one last time while Yuko-san is still here with us!
We should, right?
There's something I really want to say to you.
Excuse me!
Dad...
Somehow... somehow or other...

Sachiko-san.
Yes?
No... Sachiko.
Eh?!
Will you...
That is...
Please marry me!
Dad...
It was a proposal moment.
The first I'd seen since I was born.
I don't have any social standing nor much education...
...nor money, either...
He has plenty of nothing.
But, I still have a dream.
A huge dream!
The only thing he has is a dream.
Still...
I don't know what may come.
I can't make any guarantees.
But... like the song you just sang...
...I think if it's the two of us together, we won't have any pain.
If it were you and me, Sachiko...
I want you and me to live together, Sachiko.
Please marry me!
Yes! I will marry you!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
All right!
Sachiko!
Yuko!
Congratulations!
That's great, isn't it?
Thank you very much.
Congratulations!
This is an extremely busy dorm, isn't it?
Everyone, please watch over the two of us from here on as well.
Please do that!
Of course!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
The snow white birch trees along this evening lane are so pretty
Our troika races along it with a bright ting-a-ling
The resounding song of young people, their bayan ringing
Our troika races along kicking up the powdered snow
Thank you very much!
Let's meet again!
Good-bye!
Let's meet again, okay!
Dad...
Yuko-san returned to Akita with her Mother.
Somehow, seeing Yuko-san's tiny back going away... was painful.
And then...
1965/Showa 40, December 20th Factory's Final Day
...the final day for the factory had come.
Yes, hurry up.
You won't have time for breakfast.
Yes.
Okay!
What's with you?
I thought I would look my prettiest for the final day.
Ah...
If you're going to do that, hurry it up.
Huh?
At a time like this, wouldn't Toyoko come over and give her a whack?
What's the matter, Toyoko?
It's rare for you to be this slow.
Are you feeling ill?
It's nothing; I'm fine.
Isn't it because in reverse to me, you wanted to be the last one?
Eh?
What's going on with you?
What's up?
Nothing's wrong.
Just hurry it up.
Yeah.
Ah... Kazuo-san's miso soup is so delicious.
It is, isn't it.
I feel sad thinking I won't be able to have this any longer.
That's true, huh?
It does.
Dad...
This is the last work I'll be doing here.
Toyoko?!
You reversed how the transistor was inserted!
I'm sorry!
Isn't that a first for Toyoko?
It is.
I'm sorry.
Yes! Be careful.
Then resume!
Yes.
Switch on!
Dad...
Toyoko seems a bit strange somehow.
I will place the last one in.
Yes.
Mukojima Electric
We're here, huh?
Thank you for your hard work!
Everyone, please gather around.
Yes.
You did a great job.
All members have gathered.
Thank you.
What's with those people?
Ah...
Those men have come... to take the machines out of the factory.
So soon?
Yeah.
Since we have to pay back our debts, even just a little of them.
Hey girls, pay no mind to that.
It's time for our presents to you.
What is it?
Now, what could it be?
From here, these transistor radios.
We will be handing out an AR-64 to each and every one of you.
Please take good care of it!
Yes!
Now, line up!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Dad...
I have a transistor radio we had made.
Well, then, everyone!
Safety First!
Thanks for your hard work.
Yes, you've worked hard.
Ah, good job.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
No...
Please take care of it.
I hate this!
Eh?!
I hate this!
I hate it! I absolutely hate it!
No... No... I hate this!
I hate it...
I hate it!
I absolutely hate this!
