(Sakurako Arimori) grandpa！ grandpa
ah？ let me play the organ
No! that thing is too dusty if you stay in such a place
you'll get ill let me play no!
Sakurako.......
♬～(organ)
Home! Sweet Home!
(Masa Arimori) since she found the organ on the marriage meeting day
Sakurako stayed long in grandpa’s barn
Home! Sweet Home!
grandpas is also secretly looking forward to
Sakurako's visit
Home! Sweet Home!
hey, grandpa
is this my mother's ye? mnnn...
can I take it home? it's too dark in the barn
it's too dark do whatever you like!
(everyone) itadakimasu!
(Sakurako singing) (Fueko Arimori) Sakura chan
that's enough dinnertime!
yeah!
ahhh, wish we had an organ at home I wonder if I ask a grandpa
he would give it to me dad
(Genichiro Arimori) aye? well (Iso Arimori) I think he will
if Sakurako asks for it. It is her mother's in the first place
instead of accumulating dust in the barn it would be much better
if Sakurako plays it at home
Iso! don't stick your nose in it I wonder
I am against it If I had to listen to Hanako's terrible play
everyday I can't concentrate on my studies
(Momoko Arimoto) well, I... aye? Momo chan, what's that?
that's unusual. What's that? ah, no, nothing
Momoko, speak up.
I wish to have an organ at home, too
if Sakurako plays the tune mother used to play
that will be great
♬～
I see! I'm going there
aye? Sakurako! Sakurako!
♬～
what's that? give me the organ
you came here at this time of the day I can't believe it
be quiet just go home
Please give me the organ no!
but grandpa you don't play it
if I played it the organ would be happy
everyone wants an organ at home
everyone says it go home it's dinner time now
you won't give it to me? why not? just shut up!
that organ belongs to Masa
you're mean, grandpa!
(train whistle)
hello...
itadakimasu
what happened? grandpa scolded you?
♬～
that organ is Masa's memory for grandpa’s
something special but for me
if it's my mother's memory, I want it too. you have me,
Fueko, Momoko and Yutaro whenever we feel down,
we can always talk about mother
right?, but grandpa is alone
alone? yes
♬～
from that day Hanako stopped
going to Tokujiro's house completely
(teacher) Miss Arimori,you'd better go home now miss, I have a favor to ask
a few days have past
hello! hello!
Sakurako chan! (girl) from my dad
notice for the meeting
excuse me may I go into to the barn?
barn? yes, sir
that way it will be easier to do the cleaning, isn't it?
why are you putting the lights on
I can't understand what the uni graduate does
but it'll become convenient
how is Sakurako? aye? what is that, sir?
nothing
the next day, Sunday is Masa's (me) monthly observances of a death
where has everyone gone? aye? It will be Masa's monthly observances of a death
Gone out looked very busy
What is busy? aye? You still have teeth? it's hard
(Yutaro Arimori) Grandpa!
oh, Yutaro, what's the matter?
(Applause)
