(Okazaki south ladies college) A lovely day, a beautiful day on the Sumida River
(Masa Arimori) Sakurako and year 5 students are practicing the chorus at the welcome party
for the new students but at this day
♬～(jazz)
A lovely day, a beautiful day on the Sumida River Going upstream and going downstream as the boatmen oar
Drops from the oar-blades scatter, so many cherry blossoms
what are you doing! Stop it!
(Shizuko Nishino) what is that? such vulgar music! why are you playing fool?
(Arimori Sakurako) I am serious, mam jazz is respectable music, too
our school policy is to educate good wife and wise mother
how dare you talk back to your teacher!
(Fueko Arimori) you arranged and played Rentaro Taki's "Flower"
to jazz? yep
(Iso Arimori) great, Sakura chan was it easy to do?
(Genichiro Arimori) how did you do it? strive or boogie woogie ?
I just imitated the alubum "St Louis blues"
(Fueko) that's enough whenever Sakurako causes the problem
it's always me who must apologize at school!
Think about me, we are at the same school!
that's true but why is that?
(Fueko) aye？
we have to learn Western dishes and manner as well as sewing
then why not American music? I don't understand
that's ture stop quibbling!
don't be so agreeable, aunt! yes
you are teaching in the classroom like Miss Nishino
about becoming good wife and wise mother? of course
"good wife, wise mother" "good citizen"
Fueko, is something wrong at school? no
we are certainly losing our freedom little by little
they tell us what to do more and more
it seems like we are losing the freedom of speech both at work and school
we have to stay low these days
to be yourself, you need wit, Fueko
ah! ah! ah!
Mrs. Shiohara from Women's association has a man for marriage meeting.
for your duaghter (Yutaro Arimori, Sakurako) marriage meeting?
you should have told us from the beginning marriage meeting again?
I've had enough
this time it's not for Fue chan, but for Momo chan
(Momoko Arimoto) to me?
the eldest of the large land owner in Nagoya he lives alone with his mother
he works for a bank, 30 years old. By the way, I heard he is handsome.
I... but not before Fue nechan (older sister) Don't worry about me
anyway I've decided I won't get married till Yutaro goes to university
you'd better accept a good man like him, Momo chan
after Momo chan gets married, it will be Sakurako's turn, isn't it?
To Sakurako,
it didn't seem like real yet
instead of marriage meeting or marriage,
(Kimimaro Saionji piano recital admisson) she was much more into music and joying her youth so much
(Kaoruko Takano) what is that? No! This is my tressure.
(Misae) treassure? this is Kimimaro Saionji's receital ticket
(Kazuyo) I saw the big poster in front of the staion
(Yoshiko) I saw it, too. You are going there?
he is a great musician he studied at conservatory of music in Berlin
he is a pianist, conductor as well as a composer he is known in the West too
such a great person comes to Okazaki is a once in lifetime experience
how much was the ticket? 1 yen, I used up my allownace
very expensive! You can have 10 bowls of "sweets" (Oshiruko) at Harukiya restaurant
piano is her life for Sakurako in the future, like Kimimaro Saionji
study in Berlin and became a great musician Berlin is impossible
as a matter fact, I adore musicians
I prefer novels to music
I want to be a novelist like Ichiyou Higuchi
♬～
what's the matter? that way
(Tatsuhiko Matsui, the eldest son of "Yamacho") the succseesor to Miso business, Tatsuhiko Matsui goes to Hachi HS
2 years senior, 18 years old, rich and handsome

♬～
Please Sakurako Arimori! Please give it to Tatsuhiko san!

that is no good he will think I am too foward
it is much easier for you to give it to him!
is it a love letter? no, it's not!
I want to be friends with him as a penpal
when we met Tatsuhiko san at the river bank, he was carrying Heine's poet
we have the same hobby and I think we can talk about lietrature and art

(Nishino) Miss Arimori!
Yes, mam. follow me!
are you the one who wrote a love letter to the son from "Yamacho?"

the madam from "Yamacho" directly filed a complaint!
you have no class! shame on you!
as a student from this school but... that. well...
someone asked you? no, mam.
Miss Arimori!
(applause) Kimimaro Saionji
I won't let you go till you tell me the truth
Sakurako, what's wrong?
someone asked her to deliver the love letter to the male student at Hachi HS?
you must know to the son from "Yamacho"

any remorse and going to apologize?
yes, mam tell me the truth!
♬～(piano)
