1966/Showa 41, June 29th Eve of The Beatles Performance
Suzufuritei, Fukushiro-do and Kashiwagi-do...
...as well as the tenants of Akane Villa and Muneo-san...
...were totally mobilized in the making of sekihan and red bean lunch boxes for 600 people.
Looks like fun somehow, doesn't it?
Put yer back inta it, Ganji!
It ain't Ganji, but Genji! So obnoxious with your nagging!
You've been obnoxious for quite a while now, for pete's sake!
By the way, these bentos...
...are to be delivered to the security guards for the Nippon Budokan.
Chop them a little finer.
Yes, Chef.
I'm not a Chef yet.
Be delicious... be delicious...
Yeah, it's looking good.
Okay Sho-chan, I'll take over.
Take the astringent juice away.
Yes, the broth is done.
Hey, put your hips into it more!
All right, all right, all right already!
Yasue-san, if you would please.
Coming!
It's easy to compact it if you do it like this.
I see.
Which hairdresser do you go to?
I haven't gone recently.
Where? Ah, that's your everyday style?
Yes.
No way... What do you eat?
Ah, they're mixing glutinous rice with the broth from adzuki beans and it's picking up that color, isn't it?
It takes quite a bit of time and labor, doesn't it?
Then the beans! Hurry with the beans!
All right, all right already!
Mix it first, mix it. Get your hands out of it.
The salt! Hurry with the salt!
Salt, salt...
Hurry up!
I know that! You're so noisy!
After spreading it in a seiro, you then steam it for 45 minutes.
(basket used for steaming food)
All set!
Let's take a break until it's steamed!
Okay!
Drink up, drink up. Thanks for your hard work. Those guys over there, too.
You've worked hard.
Drink up, drink up.
Here ya go. Here.
Ah, thank you.
Ah, dat's good.
Say, Muneo.
Yes, what is it, Chef?
What's up?
Muneo.
Where were you during the war?
Ah...
In Burma with da Army.
You're from Ibaraki, right? By Burma, don't tell me...
Yes.
Part of the Battle of Imphal?
(March - July 1944; a major Japanese defeat)
Eh...
Yes...
I'm one of dem who lived.
Most nearly all my fellow soldiers died in it.
"Imphal..."
In that case, you...
Yes.
That was a terrible battle... and your opponent was...
...the British.
Yes.
The Imphal strategy in the Spring of 1944 was to break through the dense forests and high mountain ranges of western Burma...
...and capture the British military base at the Indian city of Imphal...
...and, if things worked out, it would become a major strategy for the invasion of India.
However, the supplies of food and ammunition to deal with the huge counterattack by the British were insufficient...
...and so the number of those lost to death in battle and death from disease resulted in a loss of more than 60,000.
There were many military units which were annihilated.
It was solely walking through da mountains without eating or drinking.
Guys who couldn't walk would be left behind...
...so, scared of being left behind, all we could do was walk...
Sometimes we'd spot a reconnaissance plane up in da sky...
...and den da bombs'd fall like rain so we'd run and hide in da forest...
...and when dey'd go away, we'd walk again.
I figured I was a goner every day.
Since every day, more of my friends would die. Yeah.
Somehow or other...
...I thought, "I'll just live until I die."
Muneo.
Yeah.
Sorry. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.
It's okay. Thank ya very much!
But I don't wanna end it on dat sad story. Don't worry.
Since Muneo, you're alive now, aren't you?
Yes.
One evening...
...I was out scoutin'. Well, it was more a reconnaissance.
I went out da do some scoutin'.
Dat evenin' da moon was clouded over...
...and as a bonus, da jungle was pitch black, sos I couldn't sees a thing.
Den... he suddenly appeared.
A British soldier.
Before I realized it, he was right der in front of me.
I was surprised, but he looked even more surprised.
We were both holdin' guns and were frozen stiff.
I was scared and tremblin', too...
...but I think it were da same fer him.
Gradually I got used to da darkness...
...and I could see his face.
He was painted in a shoe polish black...
...but he was a man about da same age as me.
About as old as Mineko is now.
I heard dis voice in da distance.
It was a friend a his.
And den dat guy right in front of me said somethin' ta his friend.
I don't know what he said.
Since I didn't know what he was sayin', I got really scared...
But den...
Dat guy got dis big ole belly laugh.
He was laughin'.
And den, just like dat, he went a runnin' off ta his friend.
I just stared off inta space.
I stared off inta space like dat fer so long.
"Why was he laughin' like dat?" I didn't get it.
I just couldn't get it.
But... thanks ta dat guy, I didn't die...
And that's why... that?
Well, I was vexed.
Since he'd been laughin.'
Dat's why... whatever happens...
I'd decided since my life'd been spared, I would live it laughin.'
Since I'm so vexed by dat.
I see.
And, The Beatles.
Dammit...
Dammit, but I thought if it weren't dem British again.
I was happy 'bout dat somehow.
'Course I don't think The Beatles have anythin' ta do with dat guy back den.
It's true it might be thanks to dat guy dat I'm alive...
...but dat guy might be thinkin' dat he's alive thanks ta me, too.
That's true.
Right?
Dat's why, inside me...
...dat guy and The Beatles have gotten all jumbled up tagether.
Dat's why I wanna say dis ta The Beatles somehow.
"I'm alive!" like dat.
"I'll laugh and live!"
"Ya guys live too! And laugh!" like dat.
I wanna say dat... I wanna shout it.
Well, dat's da reason fer dis.
Ah, I give up.
Somehow... I made things all sad and such.
Genji!
Ow! What's with you!?
Da gags ya say are boring!
I don't want someone like you telling me that!
That hurt you know!
What a great fragrance...
It must be ready!
That's the only thing you're senstive to.
It's about time it was cooked.
That's true.
Okay, let's go!
Let's do it!
Let's go.
Yeah.
Okay!
We did it!
Now, let's finish this!
Now, now, now everyone. These sekihan bento lunch boxes for 600...
...and our connection to The Beatles is solved. And what is the heart?
Help!
I figured he was gonna say that.
Dad...
Your younger brother is laughing again today.
He told us the reason for why he's always laughing.
Dad, did you know about this?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Really?
Yeah.
