Good morning.
Sorry. Did I wake you?
No.
Are you okay, Tokiko?
Yeah! I'm fine, I'm fine.
Ah... really?
Getting up early every morning must be tough, Mineko.
Eh?
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm thinking I need to work hard, too.
Yeah.
Let's do our best! Okay?
Huh? What's so funny?
You don't have to force yourself like this. You're not okay, now are you?
This isn't you.
Eh? It's not?
It's not, now is it!
Geez! How many years do you think we've been together?
Yes. I'm sorry.
Somehow or other...
...I give up.
In a sense, this is harder for me than just failing. When it's my own fault...
I wore myself out debating if I should enter and let the deadline pass.
I guess.
Somehow it's like I let that huge opportunity slip right through my fingers...
I see... That's true, huh.
But, there's nothing I can do to change it.
Just gotta do my best!
Ah, get going!
Ah, that's right. I should.
Somehow, sorry about not being able to give you...
...wonderful words of encouragement like Aiko-san could.
To be like Aiko-san...
What?
I guess... look... to some extent...
...well, you'd need to have a lot of years on you.
I guess!
(I guess?!)
Ah, then, you should go.
Ah, sorry.
What are you saying?
Okay!
Gotta do my best...
Gonna do my best! Okay!
Gotta work hard!
Work hard.
That's true, isn't it? All right.
Thanks, Ichigo!
Yeah!
Have a good night!
Thanks for your hard work.
And then, that night.
A tiny miracle...
Ah!
Eh?
I'm back.
What's going on?
Truth is, to Tokiko-chan...
...a postcard arrived.
Ah...
And because it's a postcard, I happened to glance over it.
Ah...
This is it.
Eh?! Eh?
What does this mean?
Don't know.
Yeah.
Eh?
Ah, has Tokiko read this yet?
No, not yet.
I'm back.
Tokiko!
What's the matter? Eh?
This... came for you...
Eh?
Eh?! What is this? What's it about?

Look-alike Contest
Official Selection Document
Congratulations
I guess you don't have any clue about this.
No.
How could this be?
Someone must have put your name in for it.
Who?
Ah, maybe the girls from the dorm saw it in a magazine...
...and thought, "This would be perfect for Tokiko..."
Ah, but, they wouldn't have entered your name without asking, would they?
I'm sorry. That must be wrong, huh?
Did you two think of this?
We didn't!
We had no idea about this.
Hmm... really? Ah, is there someone like that?
A person you could say is the type to take an initiative like this...
...with the best of intentions in mind?
Eh? Me?
Did you send her name in?
No.
Wonder if there isn't someone who is like that...
Who is it? It wasn't me, though.
Eh? Ah, no.
Ah! My Mom!
Right?!
Yeah.
Ya shouldn't have done dat, Kimiko!
Dat's right. Dis won't go well, Ma.
But...
Since I thought it were a good idea, I couldn't help myself.
Well, but, Kimiko.
Tokiko would say no ta it.
Even so...
Hey, Ma.
Ya ain't taken Tokiko's feelin's on dis inta consideration.
She hates it when her parents act without askin'.
I know dat much.
I think Tokiko's gonna be pissed.
Eh?
Won't she?
Ah... I'm sorry.
Ya don't have ta go apologizin' ta me.
Won't dis get bad unless ya apologize ta Tokiko?
Dat's true.
Ya has ta apologize properly, right away.
Tell her ya made a big mistake as a parent and apologize properly.
I will.
Yeah.
Ya should.
Ain't der dat, Kimiko?
Yer thinkin' at times like dese, I ain't some hopeless, useless fellow...
...but dat I'm a reliable one after all, right?
Huh? No, not particularly.
What was that?!
Somehow... I wonder if I really did make a mistake.
Huh? What do ya mean?
It's like a mother's intuition or somethin'...
Well, it's true I did do dat without askin' her 'bout it...
...but it don't feel like I made a mistake.
Huh?
No, no, ya just can't do dat!
Really? Dat's true, huh...
Yes, I'll apologize.
Da sooner da better.
Call Tokiko's apartment house.
No, no, no, no! Well, um, I'll just write a letter...
Since she'd just be angry at me directly.
Whaa, that surprised me.
It's Tokiko, ain't it? She must be super-pissed.
Oi... ain't ya gonna answer it?!
No! No way, no way!
Ma!
No, no, no, no way.
Pa, ya get it.
Hello?
Dad! Put Mom on the line, Dad!
I'm not here! I'm not here!
Ma!
Tell her I'm not here.
Hold on a sec. I'll pass it over ta her.
Since Tokiko's really fired up, ya hurry and take it!
Yes, hello...
Mom!
Yes, this is yer Mother.
Tokiko... look, um...
Thank you, Mom!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love you, Mom!
Eh? Yer not angry? Ya love me? Eh?
Yeah. Thank you.
For the first time since I was born, I'm happy that you meddled.
For the first time since ya were born? Eh? Eh? Really?
Tokiko-chan will be working at a transistor factory?
I haven't agreed ta her doing dat yet.
Even if you don't agree to it, I'm still going.
What was dat?!
Tokiko!
The film companies! TV! TV has come!
Get yerself filmed!
Just you wait! The star from Ookubaraki village is here!
Tokiko, we're counting on ya!
If ya've decided ta do dis, make sure ya become Japan's number one actress!
Mom! You approve of it?
Thank you!
Tokiko, watch out fer yer health.
Yeah!
I'll make sure that I win it!
Mom, just you watch, okay? Mom!
Yeah...
Yeah. Thank goodness... Look, I...
Ah, you don't need to come to Tokyo on the contest day.
Thank you very much for this time around...
...but don't do such things again after this.
Got that? Understand?
Yes. So long.
I got accepted to the contest!
You did!
Sanae-san!
That's great, that's great.
Aiko-san! Tomi-san!
I knew I weren't makin' a mistake.
A mother's intuition is never wrong.
Yeah...
Ah... da one who apologizes, loses.
Right?
On my day off, Tokiko and I went to meet Mitsuo.
Ehh... So it's a place like this, huh?
Yeah.
Good afternoon.
Welcome.
Ah...
Eh?
I've returned! Oi! Huh? What's going on?
