Muneo-san.
Muneo-san!
Wake up!
Geez...
I'm really sorry about this.
No, no.
I'm sorry to you too, Sanae-san and Shimatani-san.
Well, still, he's a lively one.
I thought he was going to sleep in the empty room.
It was manga...
Huh?
Well, it was while he was reading our manga...
...that he fell asleep.
Eh?
Eh?! Dis is what ya guys have drawn?
30 minutes ago
Yes.
Dis is awesome, oi!
Thank you very much!
Let's see...
Ah... watch out!
Muneo-san!
He's asleep...
I'm sorry!
No... it's okay.
We're used to it.
No, we can't get used to it, can we?
Ah, that's right.
Dad...
Long ago, after planting the rice or after the harvesting, Muneo-san would get like this, wouldn't he?
Miyoko, that.
That feels like so long ago now...
I don't wanna...
I don't wanna die...
Mom...
Help me...
Dad...
Brother...
Hold his hand.
Akane Hill Shopping District
The clouds are looking ominous, so please do be careful.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Now, at last, today is June 28th, 1966.
1966/Showa 41, June 28th
The day The Beatles would come to Japan.
In Akasaka, where they would be staying at a hotel there...
Please give me a ticket
...their fans were gathering to get a glimpse of them.
It's looking good.
Yes, the Hash is ready.
Yes!
The Hash is ready!
Yes.
Doesn't he get tired of eating it, day after day?
Whaa!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Thank ya fer waitin'.
Please excuse me.
Go ahead.
Yes, itadakimasu!
Dis is so good, no matter how many times I eats it.
Isn't it?
But why do you always order the same thing? Well, it's okay, though.
Well, my big brother said...
..."Akasaka's Suzufuritei's Hash and Rice is da best in da whole wide world"...
...over and over again. Look, when we harvested da rice.
Yeah.
Ah... I think so, too. Dis is da world's best.
Isn't it?
Well, thank you for that.
Well, outta all da world, da only place...
...me and my brother have eaten it is here though!
Muneo.
Geez!
I'm sorry. Suzuko-san, I'm sorry.
We'll be asking for your help starting tomorrow. Sorry about this.
What're ya sayin', geez!
I don't care much for that guy somehow.
Eh? Why?
I think you and him are a lot alike, Senpai.
That's right. I think so, too.
We're not alike!
I don't say such groaner gags like he does.
You don't?
Eh...
Chef! Thanks fer the feast taday, too!
Ah... Thank you very much for your business every day.
No, no, no, no! Ah, Hide-chan, thanks!
I thank you, too!
Thanks, Heike! No, not that, Genji!
Such groaner gags.
He just smiled! Right?
Yes.
You smiled.
It was a forced smile! A forced smile!
Even if it were forced, it were a nice smile.
I see.
Hold on! You think you're saying good things.
But I don't think so! It makes me really angry.
Don't point at me!
Ah, then, I'll look forward ta workin' with ya tomorrow!
Ah, sorry about this.
No, no, no, no such thing!
Geez, what are you doing, Muneo-san?! You mustn't go bothering them!
Ah... Den everyone... let's do our best!
We'll do our best!
Do our best!
What's with that reaction?
They've said many times that starting tomorrow, things would become intense...
A Few Days Ago
...but actually, this had started a few days back.
You put this much into it?
No, no, eat up, eat up, since this is our treat.
Everyone, don't eat it yet.
Eh?
Something's happened, hasn't it? This is to ask us for a favor, isn't it?
Ii-chan... tell us.
Well, it's about sekihan.
(red rice for auspicious occasions)
Eh? What about sekihan?
Well, um, a little while ago, I had a discussion with one of our regular customers.
About, look, The Beatles are coming, right?
And it seems people from the fire department will be doing security at the Budokan.
And... he said he was having a problem getting bento boxes for them.
Bentos?
Yes, bentos.
Anyhow, they said they needed ones that are cheap but filling.
And then Yasuharu. Yasuharu here came up with a good idea!
You don't have to say that.
"Wouldn't seikihan work best?" he said.
Ehh...
It's true that would fill their bellies better than rice balls would. And?
And then I inadvertently said, "If you want to do that sort of thing..."
"...then please use the sekihan of Kashiwagi."
And then he said he'd ask us to do them.
Enough for 600 people for 3 days and nights...
And for this reason, they would be helping to make steamed sekihan with red beans...
...for the 600 security guards at the Budokan.
Mineko, so long; I'll be going!
Wait! "Going"? Where are you going?
What are ya talkin' about? I'm gonna meet 'em at da Haneda Airport.
The airport?
Across Japan...
...der ain't a youth who won't come ta see da Beatles if dey can.
I'm gonna meet 'em and play my part in givin' dem a welcome. So long.
Yeah. Be careful, okay?
Yeah.
Oh, I love you, baby!
I'm off!
Muneo is a funny man.
I'm sorry.
What are you saying? He's fun.
Really?
It's nice... how he can laughing like that.
Yes. He said, "I've decided to live by laughing."
I made up my mind. Dat I would live laughing.
Why?
Hmm...
I'll tells ya dat when ya've grown up a bit more.
Eh? Then what? He's been living in that way?
That's right. Well, he did say...
...he wouldn't tell me why until I had grown up, though.
Eh...
Ah, but my Dad told me that when Muneo-san was little...
...he was quiet and didn't talk very much and was always a child...
...who'd walk quietly behind my Dad.
Ehh...
That guy was?
How old is Muneo?
Eh... Since he's three years younger than my Dad, he's 44.
Then he went.
He would have, wouldn't he?
"He went"?
To the war.
Well then... shall I work?
Yes.
I see.
Now, it'll be tough on us starting tomorrow, everyone!
Let's work together!
Yes!
1966/Showa 41, June 29th 3:39 AM
The Beatles' plane was delayed for 10 hours due to a typhoon...
...so it was at 3:39 am the next day that they arrived at Haneda Airport.
Their fans were prohibited from entering the airport...
...so it seems none of them were there to see them arrive.
And, the evening of that day...
Making sekihan with red beans, red beans, red beans
Sekihan-dzukuri wa aan aan an
...means "relying on others." Thanks for waiting; the ingredients are here!
Ah, thanks for your hard work!
Put that there.
Oi! Since yer a man, carry heavier things!
Be quiet! I'm delicate!
Just look at me!
You monster, you!
Stop that! It's undignified!
Thanks for waiting.
It's refreshing, isn't it?
Eh... Everyone, on this day...
Now, let's start! Everyone get to your places!
Yes!
Now everyone let's do our best!
You be quiet.
Do yer best!
You're bothering the neighbors.
To Be Continued
Do yer best!
