Dad...
...I'm renting a room in Tokyo for myself.
Landlady Tachibana Tomi
Akane Villa Floor Plan
The room Mineko is renting at the Akane Villa is a 4 tatami mat size room on the 2nd floor.
Mineko's Room
The sink and toilets are public...
...and there is no bath.
Although cheaper than the market price would be...
...Mineko's rent of 4,000 yen a month was one she'd just barely be able to afford.
I pressed my seal to the contract.
I had this tense feeling somehow.
Suzufuritei's Suzuko-san...
...volunteered to be my guarantor.
I'm grateful to her for that.
I thought if it weren't for someone such as her, it would be impossible for me to live on my own.
Well then.... here you go.
Thank you very much.
Ah... thank goodness.
Thank you very much.
What sort of people are living here?
How many rooms are there?
5, isn't there?
Yeah, that's right.
And, let's see, a manga artist lives on the second floor.
Ehh!
Are they famous?
They're obscure. So obscure they're unlikely to become famous.
Is that right.
And, another one is a woman, right?
She has long hair and is a clerk, right? She's about 25?
Yeah. Her entire time here, she's always been 25.
By the way, that woman clerk is from the countryside of Iwate Prefecture's Iseki.
The rice cakes from there are very delicious.
Yes.
And then, the next one is a college student, right?
That's right. A Keiyo University boy. Handsome.
Yeah.
And above all, Tomi-chan here.
Yeah. That's right.
Yes, her above all.
So there's nothing to worry about and you should be okay.
Since I'm just a stone's throw away.
Yes. Please watch over me.
Please... do watch over this girl.
We will do so.
1965/Showa 40 - December 30th
Dad...
...I spent the year's end in Tokyo with Aiko-san.
Mukojima Electric
We cleaned up the Girl's Dormitory that had taken care of us.
We made it sparkle.
Though we would be leaving it soon, the two of us made it sparkle.
Wait, there...
We also decorated it for New Year's.
There!
Yeah. Looks good.
Still, this will all... be gone soon, won't it?
Huh?
I guess I'm just feeling... sad about that, somehow.
Really?
I'm... not sad.
Huh?
I do feel lonely... but I don't feel sad about it.
This place, too... will be reborn.
I wonder what will be done with this place?
Right? I'm looking forward to seeing that.
Yes.
I don't know what will be done here.
Maybe a new factory or maybe a trendy apartment complex.
But whatever it is that is born here, it will be wonderful.
A new place...
...where people will meet people again and make a living...
...since they'll be working here.
Just like how we met here, right?
The 16th annual NHK Kohaku singing contest.
New Year's Eve
Don't say anything
And then, me and Aiko-san...
...watched the "Kohaku Singing Contest" while eating New Year's buckwheat soba noodles.
Aiko-san loves Baisho Chieko...
...while I thought Morishige Hisaya was great.
Be in love, young girls
Koi seyo otome
While your ruby lips are not discolored
Akaki kuchibiru asenu mani
While your hot blood has not yet cooled
Atsuki chishio no hie nuaida ni
As tomorrow may never come
Asa toiu hi no nai mono o
Happy New Year.
Please watch over me this year, too.
It's cold! It's cold, it's cold, it's cold!
I guess I could have had a daughter such as her, couldn't I?
Thank you... I enjoyed it...
Mom...
I'm sorry.
That it's me here with you instead.
And then Showa 40 ended and it became Showa 41, 1966.
1966/Showa 41 - January 1st
Huh?
I've gone out for a bit. Will return soon. Aiko
Wonder if Ibaraki is sunny, too...
Ah, welcome back.
Ah, You surprised me. You're out here?
Yes! The weather's so nice, isn't it...
It is, isn't it. It's great having a sunny New Year's Day.
A great many children were along the riverbank, flying their kites.
Ehh!
I'm good at that, too!
I just thought of something.
Huh?
Aiko-san... you're just like an Onee-chan to me.
Not a substitute for my Mom...
...but my Tokyo Onee-chan.
That's what I've been saying from the start, isn't it?
That's true, isn't it?
That's... right. Ah...!
I was imitating your new landlady.
Ah!
Then... from your Onee-chan...
...your New Year's present.
Eh?!
Can I accept such a thing?
Here.
Eh? Are you sure?
Open it.
May I look inside it?
Yeah. Please do.
Well then...
This is...
It's like reversing ringing out the old year with ringing in the new year...
...but you have lots of things you want to report to them, don't you?
Aiko-san...
Ah, I'm sorry.
Huh?
You don't have much time before you have to board.
Eh? Ah! Ah, you're right! Let's see!
I'll get ready!
Ah!
Thank you... Aiko-oneechan!
Hey! Hurry, Mineko!
Yes!
Now, it's about time for you guys to go to bed, okay?
Yeah.
Won't Muneo be coming tomorrow?
Ah, that's true, isn't it? That'll be fun, won't it?
Yeah!
I'm home!
It's me, Mineko.
I'm home!
Mineko...
Oh, it's Mineko.
Nee-chan!
Mineko!
Sorry I'm so late.
To Be Continued
Happy New Year!
