1967/Showa 42 - June 11th
It's been one month since Mineko returned to Tokyo.
Members of Mukojima Electric's Girl's Dormitory were gathering together after a long spell.
While unfortunately Yuko of Akiko couldn't come...
Yuko
Sumiko
...Sumiko, Toyoko and Sachiko are coming for a visit.
Toyoko
Sachiko
After all, three of their group, Mineko, Tokiko and Aiko-san were at Akane Villa.
Mineko
Tokiko
Aiko
This time around it wasn't Sachiko-san...
...but Toyoko who said she'd put this meeting together. Right?
Yeah, that's unusual for her.
What's more, she's the one who phoned and said it just has to be today, right?
Right! Something scary about that.
"At 4 o'clock on June 6th, please."
You sound just like her!
She just wants to see us all, doesn't she? I'm sure she's lonely.
I can understand that, though.
That's true.
Right?
Oh... hard at it, huh?
Oh!
That's a lot.
Since there's a share for you too, Sanae-san.
Eh? Really?
Yes.
As an apology since we think we're going to be noisy.
Thank you for that. There'll be a lot of that too, won't there?
Piichikupaachiku, piichikupaachiku, piichikupaachiku. Piichikupaachiku?
(the sound of birds chirping; also used for women lively chatting and being noisy)
That much?
Yeah.
But that might be so.
Excuse us!
What is it?
Um, if you'd like some of this...
We suspect we'll be making some noise, so sorry for that.
Ah... that's right, it is today, isn't it?
Excuse me.
They're drawing their manga, right?
Whaa!
For pete's sake! Whaa!
Eh? Eh? Eh?!
Um, if you'd like some of this...
Sorry for the noise we'll make.
Ah!
Don't be!
So long...
Thank you very much!
Silence in the hallway
Sumiko, be careful on the staircase, okay?
I will.
Ah, it has a plaza, doesn't it?
Ehh... Her apartment house and the restaurant are really close by.
It's just like the factory and the Girl's Dorm, right?
It is.
What's with you?
You've been grinning since earlier. It's giving me the creeps.
Why would my smiling give you the creeps?
Don't joke around.
Like I said, what's with that grinning!?
Sumiko!
Don't put your hands on me!
Geez, are you guys fighting again?
That's right, geez...
It's been so long!
It's been ages!
My! My girls from the Cosmos room!
Aiko-san!
Aiko-san, it's been too long!
Aiko-san!
Since I thought we'd be rather noisy today, I brought you this apple pie.
I heard from Mineko that it's your favorite.
Hmm... well...
Make as much noise as you want!
I'm a human.
What is this... It's like Heaven here.
Then that means I'm dead...
What is that?
There's a lot, isn't there?
Kanpai!
Itadakimasu!
Itadakimasu.
So behhhry good!
It's been so long since I heard the goat!
Now, now, now, who'll go first?
Mineko should go first, right? That's great about your Dad, isn't it?
That's true. It is great.
It is. Good for you, Mineko-san.
Yeah. Thank you.
Well, I thought I'd write about it in a letter...
...but there's still so much going on...
Still, I'm happy.
Right?
All of you, thanks.
For worrying about me.
Yes, my story's done!
Then next...
Sachiko-san!
Eh? My recent situation?
Yes, over here, over here. Yes, yes.
Over there.
There?
Yes.
Geez... Okay!
Although it's not that big of a deal...
Truth is... we got into a housing complex.
Eh?!
That's awesome, isn't it!
Where at?
It's in Chofu, but it's a new building and very nice.
Our apartment is very nice, too.
Ah... but...
As the rent of 5,600 yen a month is so much...
...we can't afford to buy any furniture at all for the inside.
We've had no choice but to take used furniture for now.
And so, rather than the image I had from that photo...
...of a place with a really cool sofa and table...
...we have a tiny dining table...
...and just a few things like a stereo and electric appliances.
Ah...
A "not what I had in mind," feeling.
It's fine just adding things one at a time.
Yes.
Hey... how about you, Toyoko?
Me?
Yeah. Go on over there.
There?
Well, I'm getting by somehow.
It seems my home in the countryside...
...had a poor apple harvest and got into some debt.
Eh?
But it turned out okay. I solved it myself.
Eh? You did? How?
You'll find out before long.
Huh?
Before long?
Yes, before long.
That's why you've been acting that way since earlier.
Pretty much!
Tokiko-san, how about you?
Me?
Yes.
Yeah. I've been working hard and taking it one step at a time.
She's appearing in a Drama, right?
Eh?!
Ah but, it's just a teeny-tiny role.
Still, I'm doing my best at it.
Ah, but still, it seems I've made a fan.
Really? That's awesome!
Well, just yesterday...
...I was right here when suddenly this girl said...
"You're Sukegawa Tokiko-san, right? Good luck to you!"
"Please become a fine actress," she said.
For just our viewers, I'll give you a special showing.
The fan Tokiko spoke about... is this person.
Excuse me!
Yes?
You're Sukegawa Tokiko-san, right?
Yes, that's right.
Rice Dealer's Only Daughter Abe Saori (Yoneko)
Good luck to you!
Please be sure to become a fine actress!
I'll be cheering for you from the bottom of my heart.
Even if things don't go well, please NEVER give up!
Don't ever consider getting married and quitting!
You will become an actress! Be sure to become one!
No, become one! You can do it!
I'll be cheering for you. Good luck.
That's all. Please do your best for my sake.
Eh?
So long.
Ah! Um! Ah... don't you want my autograph?
I don't need it. So long...
That's what it was.
Huh?
What was that about?
Right?
I don't get it.
She must have been embarrassed, so that's why she did that, right?
I think that's what it was.
"I don't wanna! I don't wanna be the next to talk!"
Are you imitating me again?!
Yes, yes.
How about you, Sumiko? Are you still hard at work?
I've had all sorts of things happen to me.
A letter came from my home in the countryside...
...and it seems my new Mom won't work no matter what...
...so they're telling me to come back home since they're shorthanded.
Eh?
I answered back that I was angry at how selfish they were being.
I imitated Tokiko-san in that.
Eh? Me?
Yes. In these huge characters I wrote...
...I sent them a letter saying, "I won't! Sumiko."
I won't Sumiko
And then they said I should increase my financial support to them.
That really pissed me off.
And? Did you increase it?
Yes, just a bit.
I'm upset. Yes.
And when my anger increases, so does my hunger.
Yes.
Geez! Well, let's eat!
Any good?
Yeah!
Itadakimasu.
That's good.
Yum! It really is good, isn't it?
It's good.
Ah... wish something good would happen, right?
With just a poof... like that.
That's true.
I'm sure something good will happen. I'm certain it will happen to all of you.
I know it will.
Really?
Huh? You don't trust my words?
It's not that.
It's just somehow...
It will, Sumiko.
Something good will happen to you. It will happen.
What are you saying will happen?
You'll find out before long.
That again...
Just when is "before long"?
Sumiko! Toyoko is saying that if you keep trying your best...
...then something good will come to you before long, is what she means.
That's right.
That's true.
Um, Mineko-san.
Huh?
I believe that what you said is certainly true...
...but when I said, "Before long," I meant something different.
Eh? I was wrong?
Eh?
Yes. That good thing I was talking about...
...will start in 5 minutes.
Eh?
In 5 minutes?
Yes.
What is it?
When it comes, you'll understand everything.
How I was able to solve my family's problem.
And what sort of good thing will happen to Sumiko.
You'll find out in 5 minutes.
Huh?
By the way, Yuko-san already knows about it.
Eh?
Akita - Yuko's Husband's Family Home
Hey, you guys!
Masaru-kun, Yuri-chan.
I'm turning on the TV.
Yes!
Aiko-san! May we borrow your TV?
My TV?
Yes.
Be careful, okay?
