- Kintaro! - Kintaro!
Kintaro!
Call an ambulance!
What? Kintaro?
What? Where? Where's the hospital?
OK. I'll be right there.
Kin-chan? Idiot! Spread the word right now!
Hey, Kurosaki! Yajima Kin-chan had an accident!
What?!
Good heavens! Kin-chan was hit by a car!
Kin-chan?
No!
OK, please keep me updated regarding his condition.
Anything happened?
No, nothing.
Are you OK?
Sorry to have kept you waiting! Let's start the test!
- Test! Let's start! - Off we go!
Mimi-chan! Where are you going?
I nearly get there, Then I lose my confidence.
I look at the sky and wonder, Will I get to where my dreams come true?
Life used to be so easy for me, And now time is running out.
I left my mistakes behind me, Because I wanted to change.
But I haven't changed.
I built a rainbow over the thunder clouds, And time and space, and I started to run.
I'll climb that rainbow to a world beyond, Where my heart will learn to sing.
And I will come to see tomorrow.
I can flow,
I can go endlessly.
If I find my peck of courage in time and space,
I will start walking again.
KINTARO TRANSFERRED
EAST CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Chairman.
How's Kintaro?
What are you doing here? All of you.
He's all right.
He's got a light concussion and he's broken his right arm.
And he's got a few scratches.
He doesn't have any other problems.
Yeah, I'm OK. You're all just making a fuss.
You creep! You made me worry!
My heart almost stopped beating.
If Kin-chan dies, I'll die too.
I'm still breathing.
Kinchan.
Oh, you're here too.
Everyone's worried, so will you appear at the window?
What?
What?! What's going on?
Hey, isn't that Kin-chan?
Sure is.
Did he open the window and get there all by himself?
That means...
Come on!
You guys don't have to use any tiny excuse to stage a get together!
When are you going to grow out of this biker gang thing?
You have work tomorrow, don't you?
Why don't you all just go home!
S...sir.
Are you going to visit Kintaro?
You got a problem with that?
No, not at all.
Where do you think...?
This is a hospital. We know.
We're not kids anymore, you know!
Hey, Seiji, you said Kintaro doesn't know what a career is, didn't you?
This is where his career starts.
The relationships he forms with other people is the launching pad of his career.
Hey, you'd better not underestimate people who live in touch with their feelings.
Mama?
What?
My heart was beating so fast when I heard that Kin-chan had an accident.
I couldn't stop it.
So what?
I think I like Kin-chan so very much that I want you to take me to him.
What did you say?
I, Yajima Kintaro, am leaving for the North Eastern branch.
- Mimi. - Yes?
- Everyone has the right to be in love. - What?
You know what I mean, don't you? I'll never give up.
Mama...
S...sorry!
That was a surprise, wasn't it, papa?
Yeah.
He should lock the door, shouldn't he?
Excuse me.
Ah, who's going to the toilet, you or the boy?
I am.
I'll look after him then.
Thank you.
Thank you very, ver... Oh, oh?
Ry, Ryu, Ryuta!
Oh my God! Has he been kidnapped?
Are you Ryuta's father?
Yes.
Papa! Papa!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
That was quick.
Let's go, Ryuta.
Why don't you sit down?
Since you're already acquainted with my asshole.
Your boy's got an ice cream coming, too.
Here you are.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
How much is it?
That's OK.
Thank you very much.
Where are you heading?
I've been transferred to Kahoku City.
Yamato Construction?
Yes.
Is that where lgo hangs out?
Yes.
The Japanese people are Mongolians.
Huh?
Originally, they came from the continent.
They searched for a better place, a better land and found it here at the eastern end.
The Japanese people's ancestors were weaklings who got themselves driven out.
Japan owes its wisdom and resources to this weakness.
On the negative side, timid people tend to behave rashly when they act as a group.
Right now, what we need are individuals.
Individuals with the power to make themselves heard.
KAHOKU STATION
OUR HOMETOWN'S FAVORITE SON, MR. YAMAGANE
Ah, thank you. Thank you.
- Excuse me? - What?
Who's that person?
You don't know Mr. Yamagane Koshiro?
He's one of our greatest politicians, and he comes from the North East.
He's a politician.
The kind who doesn't mind showing you his asshole, but never shows you what he thinks.
YAMATO CONSTRUCTION
Oh, this is rather fine.
SALES DEPARTMENT
I'm Yajima Kintaro, transferred to the North East branch today.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Well, we've heard a lot about you from Head Office.
I thought you'd walk around with a scowl on your face.
Really?
I heard that you used to be in a motorcycle gang.
And that you always carry your child on your back.
Well, let's go introduce you to your superior.
Good.
Ah, I'll mind your little boy if you like.
SUB-CHIEF OF THE BRANCH'S OFFICE
Yajima has arrived.
This is Mr. Igo, Sub-Chief of this branch.
I'm Yajima Kintaro.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Why did you bring him to me?
W...well, I've reason to believe you've heard from the President.
Yajima is going to work under your...
Get out!
W...well, but this is an order from the President.
And you get out with him!
I can sympathize with your reaction, but...
I don't need him!
Tell Kurokawa not to meddle in my business.
I've introduced myself to you, Sub-Chief.
Yajima!
Can't you at least say something to me?
Before the fact that I take orders from you, comes the fact that we're both human beings.
Don't talk to your superior like that!
Telephone Kurokawa.
Y...yes.
Is that Mr. Kurokawa?
I haven't talked to you for a long time, Igo.
This is the first time we've talked together since you were installed as President.
It is.
Yes, indeedy.
It's against my way of working to have any man under me.
Yeah.
I hate salarymen.
They're just cardboard cut-outs.
I'll do my job on my own.
If I have to use underlings, I'll become the kind of person I despise.
I'll leave it to you how you do your job.
But let me tell you this.
Yajima Kintaro will be my successor.
What?!
I'm turning him into Presidential material while the Chairman is still alive.
By making him ass-lick the way I'm supposed to?
Everyone knows that folks who ass-lick don't become leaders.
Well, I don't ass-lick either.
He's not got a hope in hell.
I appreciate that if he fails, he wasn't the right material.
I want you to take care of him, lgo.
Tell him this when he wakes up.
Huh?
Salarymen must never use violence.
Tell him to be prepared to be killed by me next time he forgets to show me some respect.
Y...yes.
Yajima.
Yes?
It's time to leave. You can finish for today.
You have your luggage to sort out, don't you?
And don't forget what Mr. Igo said.
Excuse me.
Ryu-chan has been asleep.
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
Are you coming to karaoke today, Taka?
Sorry, I can't come today.
You're going to Kahoku-Kitacho, aren't you?
Eh?
I'll show you the way to the boarding house.
Oh, yeah.
Papa, her breasts are big, aren't they?
Ryuta, don't say things like that!
But they are big.
I'm no use to you, Ryu-chan.
My breasts are big, but they don't have milk.
Milk?
I'm sorry.
He was bottle-fed when he was born and he's not used to breasts.
I know all about it.
Eh?
Ryu-chan, I can't give you any milk, but I'll let you use my breasts sometime.
OK.
You're lucky, boy. Miss, might I use your breasts, too?
No!
Mother, I brought Mr. Yajima.
Well, well, well.
You must be tired.
Your luggage arrived yesterday so I took it upstairs.
I'm Yajima, nice to meet you.
I've heard about you from Mr. Kurokawa.
Please don't worry about anything and leave me to look after Ryu-chan.
Hello.
Hello, Ryu-chan.
President Kurokawa used to board at this house too.
Really?
Well, please come in.
A bath is ready.
It seems like there was something between President Kurokawa and my mother in the past.
What?
What if I was actually the President's daughter?
I'm Aoba Takako.
I work in the Sales Department at the North East branch.
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Kintaro.
No! Aaaah! Mother! Mother!
Hey!
Good evening.
- Kin-chan! - Mr. Yajima!
You scared the life out of me. I thought you were a burglar.
Huh, ah, yeah. Sorry.
Mr. Yajima! Don't you think this is a bit sudden?
Huh?
Even he didn't try anything on, on the day he arrived.
- Huh? - President Kurokawa?
Huh?
Oh, dear, what sort of reception were you expecting?
I can't get to sleep.
This has never happened to me before.
I just can't stop thinking about it.
I know. You men are pretty easy to understand.
Especially young men.
Yajima! I'm not that kind of woman!
We need to get to know each other first!
Women need to prepare for this sort of thing.
Ummmm...but it'll be OK next time.
Oh... I think there's been a misunderstanding.
There was something I wanted to ask you, and...l...
Wanted to ask me?
We're not talking about love-making, then?
I was just wondering if you knew where the Sub-Chief lives.
I saw that the light was on in Takako's room when I came outside.
I'm sorry about being out in the garden.
How boring you're being. Good night.
Yeah.
Do you know where Mr. Igo lives?
You're really being boring.
Good evening.
Couldn't you sleep?
No.
I can't settle like this.
I'm sorry, but will you help me sort out my feelings?
How do you want to sort them out?
I want to know about you.
It was the first time I've met someone like you.
It's not possible for a kid like you to get a handle on someone like me.
OK. I'll cooperate with you.
The point is that you're pissed that I floored you, aren't you?
I'll give you a rematch.
It'll make you feel better if you even the score.
But if I win, you'll do everything I tell you to do.
You will do as you're told.
You're not a nice guy, are you?
You'll do as you're told if I win, are you OK with that?
That's fine.
All right. Come on! Any way you want it, boy.
Do you work out?
I'm a fifth Dan in Japanese martial arts.
Good, if you're a trained fighter, I don't have to worry about the techniques I use!
What do you want to do? Do you want to try it again?
There's been a report that 2 drunken men are fighting at Kahoku Primary School.
Take immediate action. I repeat, Kahoku Primary School...
Oh, it's you Mr. Igo.
You're young! Was this a real fight?
Yeah.
We're not going to stop you.
What will we do with this guy? You want us to detain him?
Give him 10 years or so from me. I'm going now.
Yeah, take care!
Not you.
Why not? He's left.
He's our martial arts instructor.
He'd wipe the floor with ten men of your caliber.
INVESTIGATION REPORT
What's your name?
Yajima Kintaro.
Where do you work?
Yamato Construction.
What? That's where Mr. Igo works, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, was it only an internal argument?
This is too much!
You can go too.
After climbing up a long road,
The lights of the city flicker in the distance.
I realize why I look up at the sky,
And the dream I had that day comes into my mind.
I've kept searching for what never changes, And I've reached my goal at last.
It's you, in my arms, That will change everything in heaven.
We'll start walking together, Our long way journey to heaven.
As long as it's true that we're together again, I don't need anything else in heaven.
