Serial TV Story
Dad...
I'm doing just fine.
Whaa... Eh... Whaa!
Talking to the stars, are you?
That's okay, isn't it?
Didn't particularly say it wasn't.
Huh?
I thought it was kinda cute.
What's with that?
I used to feel like doing that too, until I was 5 or 6 years old.
"5 or 6 years old..."
Hey...
What is it?
Did you forget about me?
What do you mean?
I haven't forgotten you particularly...
But I don't go out of my way to remember you, either.
That's saying you have forgotten about me.
So, what about it?
Well, never mind, just come for a bit.
No, I don't want to!
Just come!
I said I don't want to!
I want to talk to you!
Well I don't!
Please.
I want to talk... with you.
Eh?

Here you go.
Shogo's Daughter Yuka
Won't you have a drink?
I don't care much for it... And besides, I can't handle it.
Hmm...
Sorry about that.
It's no big deal.
I heard.
That you've had a lot of tough things going on.
Like what?
Like about your Father.
Ah...
You've had a lot of tough things happen, too.
It wasn't that tough, particularly.
Ah, I see.
Who was it that told you?
Yasuharu.
Huh?!
The appearance of an eavesdropper is a classic part of morning dramas, isn't it?
This eavesdropper... is Yasuharu!
Kagiwashi Clan Scion Yasuharu
Since Yasuharu told me about it.
Still, there's that, isn't there?
Because you were having a lot of hardships...
...and so as to not trouble you...
...that's the reason why Yasuharu talked to me about it.
Is that right...
Because he's a good guy.
That's true.
Ah, my... though he he was being praised, Yasuharu didn't hear any of it, did he?
Too bad.
And?
Like I said, I wanted to talk about what happened before. That thing before.
"That thing before"?
With you and that boy from Saga.
Eh?! Even though I've been trying so hard to forget that?
I'm so happy.
Did you want to go to Tokyo Tower that much?
Yes.
I heard. It turned out opposite of what I thought it would.
In other words, I thought that man would choose his family...
...while leaving you in tears, but...
...that man said he would cut ties with his family, didn't he?
I'm thinking of...
...cutting my ties with my family.
And then you turned him down.
I hate such unfilial people.
Yasuharu-san told you that, too?
Yes, Yasuharu did.
Ah my, he's leaving, isn't he?
Well, it would be hard for him to go in.
What on earth was that?! What was that?!
That Director pisses me off! Ah, geez!
Tokiko.
Huh?
Ah... Sanae-san.
Yeah.
Seeing you relieves me somehow, Sanae-san.
Eh?
Not once in my life have I been told that...
Since I thought I wasn't the sort of person who could make anyone feel relieved.
No, no, no, no! That's not true!
Really?
Ah, let's go out drinking, okay?
Huh? Should we go?
Yes!
And?
So don't you get it? Don't you remember?
First off, I was the one at the coffee shop...
...when I happened to overhear the conversation between him and his Father.
They're offering a marriage between you and her.
Eh?
And then I was the one who told you about that here.
Is that right...
Yeah...
That's how it is.
That's how it went, right?
Yes, that's right.
In that case, if something happened, you should've told me about it!
"If something happened"?
Isn't it strange...
...that you wouldn't think, "She must be worried about what happened"...
...and then report about it to me? Right?
Ah...
Huh? What's with the face that's saying, "I didn't think of that at all."
Because.
Because what?
Because I didn't know where you were!
Well, that would be true, wouldn't it?
Right?
You could've just asked Yasuharu! Asked him!
Why in the world would I ask Yasuharu-san something like that?!
A rose blossomed; a ruby red rose blossomed
Bara ga saita bara ga saita makkana bara ga
In my lonely garden, a rose blossomed
Sabishikatta boku no niwa ni bara ga saita
Just one tiny rose blossomed
Tatta hitotsu saita bara chisana bara de
Welcome! Ah...
Mineko!
Oh!
I thought we'd go out drinking, but you weren't in our room.
Why? What's wrong?
Ah, really? Sorry.
No, that's okay but...
Eh? Huh?
You're Shogo-san's daughter, aren't you?
Ah... and you're the apartment house's OL.
A fellow apartment house dweller was kicking up a fuss out in back...
...so I thought I'd find out what was happening.
Ehh...
Huh? Shogo-san's daughter? The one who did that eat-and-run?
Thank you very much.
Ah!
The one who stiffed you for an hour's worth of assorted sandwiches, a chocolate parfait and two cups of coffee?
That's right!
My, my, my!
A big eater, huh?
Anyhow, Suzuko-san paid you back, didn't she?
Huh?! I think that's just strange though!
I know. That's why I did that for you, didn't it?
Since Yasuharu got pissed at me about it.
What's with that "Yasuharu. Yasuharu!"
He's an okay guy, but he irritates me, that Yasuharu!
It blossomed too late
Soko ni saite teokure
That rose blossom
Bara ga saita
What is this... Eh?
Ah... some red bean paste, huh...
He's a nice person though, isn't he?
Good luck, Yasuharu!
And?
What will we do about this?
In other words, there's the case of Mineko and the eat-and-run daughter...
My name is Yuka.
There's the case of the Shimatani problem that you and Yuka...
...were talking about.
That's right.
And then there's Tokiko, who has a problem to discuss too, right?
I do.
Really?
Yeah.
And there's one other problem to deal with...
In the first place, the eat-and-run daughter Yuka...
Huh?!
Why would you do a thing such as that?
In the first place, who on earth are you?
I wonder if it would be okay to pursue an agenda with those topics?
We don't have to talk about mine.
I think it'd be best if you did talk about it.
Huh?!
Right? Let's talk about that!
Huh?
Okay, it's settled. Tokiko.
Yes.
Is your story a serious one?
Huh?
In other words, to figure out what order to discuss these things...
...is your story about a serious problem?
In other words, is your story so serious...
...that the others wouldn't really be able to talk about their own stories if you told it?
Eh? No, it's not that serious.
It's more of a, "Whaa, I feel refreshed now," if I got it off my chest one.
I see... Then let's go with yours.
1. Tokiko's "I'll feel refreshed just by telling it" problem
And then the Shimatani problem.
2. Mineko's Shimatani problem
Eh?
And then last in turn we'll discuss run-and-eat daughter Yuka's way-of-life problem.
3. Yuka's way-of-life problem
Huh? Why the biting words in each one of them?
My body is made of biting words.
Huh?
She doesn't use them to offend, so we're used to them.
Really?
Tokiko.
Understood! Well then, I'll start.
Go ahead.
1. Tokiko's "I'll feel refreshed just by telling it" problem
A request suddenly came to my theatrical troupe today...
...for several people to be in a historical drama.
Hmm...
Ah, Tokiko is an actress.
Ah, really? Thanks for telling me.
Well, I'm just a novice though.
And then I was to be a town girl wearing a kimono.
I was a bit happy about that!
Yeah, yeah!
Well, I did think the size was a bit small for me though.
But even so, I was happy.
I thought my parent's would be happy, too.
Right?
Roll film! And... action!
Welcome.
Two teas, please.
And then the Director came and...
Cut!
Did I make a mistake somehow?
He looked me over...
Eh?!
"Oi!"
Oi!
"In the Edo era..."
...they didn't have such tall town girls like this!
"You idiot," he said, and I was the only one sent away!
We don't need a telephone pole like her! Hurry and go!
I understand!
If you understand then hurry up.
Eh?! That's terrible!
Right?
That makes me angry!
I could never forgive him.
Right?
That's my story. Sorry it's not that big of a deal.
No...
Ah, and that's why when you saw me earlier...
...you said you felt relieved and had peace of mind.
That's right. You're a fellow tall woman.
Neither of us could be in an Edo era show.
I see. I couldn't be in one.
Seems so.
And in that way, the first agenda line item ended...
1. Tokiko's "I'll feel refreshed just by telling it" problem
2. Mineko's Shimatani problem
3. Yuka's way-of-life problem
...at the "Moondial" meeting.
1. Tokiko's "I'll feel refreshed just by telling it" problem
On the other hand, this was happening at Akane Villa.
A true red rose

In my lonely garden, a rose blossomed
