This is me...
...and Matsunaga Yuma-san.
I've loved him.
For all this time.
All this time.
Is that right...
They were the famous couple of Akasaka.
Weren't we?
The handsome couple...
I would watch them as they walked, longing to be like them.
Ehh...
I wasn't able to become his true wife, though.
Well, if you were to say it in today's words...
...I was his mistress.
He was the one who gave me this place, too.
As his final gift to me.
I'm glad we were able to have this talk when the young people were out.
People nowadays despise such things, don't they?
He was a good man...
I loved him.
He's dead...
Wish I could have met you one last time.
Huh? Suzuko-san, what are you doing here?
Tomi-chan.
Shouldn't you tell this story to the young people as well?
It's okay even if they don't understand.
But only by telling it, can they understand.
That's true, isn't it?
It is, isn't it?
It is.
Yo! Akasaka's Beauty!
Thank you.
This happened many decades ago.
I was Akasaka's most beautiful geisha and it's most popular one.
I was shining.
It was then that I met a man.
He was the heir to a major company. He was extremely shy.
It felt as if he practically had to be dragged into coming by his Father.
But... after meeting him many times...
...we fell in love...
He was tall and deep...
A handsome man who looked like Douglas Fairbanks.
It was said that as a geisha, I could never be together with him...
...but the two of us did go on a trip together.
To all sorts of places.
The beautiful islands of Matsushima.
Amanohashidate.
Aki Prefecture's Miyajima.
Hokkaido's hair crab.
Sendai's sasakamboko.
(bamboo and boiled fish-paste)
Ibaraki's anko.
Yamanashi's Mt. Fuji.
Shizuoka's eel.
Niigita's hegisoba.
(type of noodle made with seaweed and served in a 'hegi' bowl)
Toyama's firefly squid.
Fukui's Echizen.
Mie's Ise Shrimp.
Nara's kakinohasushi.
(sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves)
Tsuutenkaku's okonomiyaki.
(pizza-like pancake fried with various ingredients)
Sanuki's udon; Shinjiko's clams.
Tosa's bonito; Shimonoseki's puffer fish.
Nagasaki's sponge cake.
The caldera of Mt. Aso.
Kagoshima's Sakurajima.
Okinawa's...
...deep blue sea...
They were all so wonderful.
That's why I love the famous foods from all around the country even now.
Since they bring back memories for me.
My most precious memory is of the sakura flowers.
Every night the two of us would watch...
...the huge sakura trees around here.
He...
...would tell me he loved me...
...and would hold my hand...
I don't remember anything about the war or the pain it brought.
I have forgotten all about such things.
That's why my life is filled with fun things.
This is the house that he gave to me.
All the memories I have here are of wonderful things.
That sakura tree...
...was breathtakingly beautiful.
That sakura tree...
And...
...even now...
...it scatters it's sakura petals...
Be in love Young Maiden
Koiseyo otome
While your lips are a scarlet red
Akaki kuchibiru asenu mani
And before your hot blood grows cold
Atsui chishio no hienu mani
For tomorrow's tomorrow may not be
Asu no tsukihi no nai mono o
Tomi-chan! Let's drink!
Thank you.
Eh?
Um... Tomi-san?
Good morning.
Ah, good morning.
Um...
His funeral ceremony is at Ikegami Honmonji.
Since it's at 11, it's still too early though.
I won't be in front of the Honmonji.
Have a nice day.
Do your best at work.
I will. Thank you very much.
I'm off.
Get going.
I see... She is going...
She said since it was close by...
I see...
She doesn't intend to burn incense for him, does she?
I'm sure that's where she'll draw the line.
That's what she meant...
How did she look?
Extremely bright and cheerful.
I see...
I'm worried somehow...
I wish I could go with her.
Yes.
But... I have to run the restaurant, don't I?
I can't leave you here during the day, now can I?
Ah!
There is one person we could ask.
Eh? Who is it?
A person in the neighborhood who said they would help out.
Eh?
Um... I'll go and bring them over right away!
Suzuko-san! Please watch over Tomi-san.
Yes.
I'm off!
Hey. What's up with her?
Well... Um...
Hey you. You were here when I wasn't around, weren't you?
You've got a snooty feel about you somehow.
We'll get along together.
Ah! You were here!
What's this? It's Mineko.
Come!
Eh?
Never mind, just come! Um.. Since I told Kashiwagi Sweets about it.
Eh? What is this? Where to?
Eh? To Suzufuritei.
Eh?! No!
Never mind; just come!
No way!
Never mind; just come!
What are you saying?!
You said you would help, Yuka! Geez!
No way!
Since if you don't do it now, you'll never do it!
This is a great chance for you, after all! Right? Right?
Now, now, follow me.
