is year 5 of ladies college and a huge music lover
Fueko is a teacher at the ladies college
learning sawing from aunt Iso preparing for homemaking
the youngest, Yuichiro is Year 4
Father, Genishiro works at City Hall
The Arimori family has been living helping each other in this city
Tatsuhiko Matsui goes to Hachi HS in Nagoya he is a successor to the old established company
Hacho Miso a man of dreams among schoolgirls
one day Sakurako was asked by her class mate Kaoruko
deliver a love letter to Tatsuhiko
but it was read by Tatsuhiko's mother
it was even spread to school
(Fueko)Sakurako! what's the mater!?
(Nishino)she was asked by somebody to deliver a love letter
to a male student at Hachi HS.
you know the son of "Yamacho"
(Sakurako)I wrote the letter what?
Sakurako lied
that wrote the letter to Tatsuhiko
just to attend Kimimaro Saionji's recital
wait a minute! Sakurako! did you really mean it?
You wrote a love letter to the son of "Sancho."
it was a lie of course it was
oh!? otherwise
she wouldn't have let me go what! I must hurry
the recital will be over! Sakurako! You......
do you think you can go there! wait! Sakurako!
♬～(piano)
ah... sorry
(clerk) closing time please leave yes
(sound of piano)
♬～("St Louis Blues")
(Kimimaro)continue just continue
yes, sir
♬～("St Louis Blues")
do you have any formal education? no, sir
that's obvious perhaps you've been playing the organ
you have a bad habit of pressing your fingers too hard you'd better get rid of it
yes, sir you're terrible
but I never thought I'd hear "St Louis Blues" in Okazaki
where did you learn it? I don't think the sheet of music for that score is
available in Japan yet from LP at home
learned from ears?
oh, that's excellent! You must have good ears
(secretary)sir, the car is ready ok, I will there now
see you later
Sir!
Sir, I was really looking forward to your recital today
I am so happy to have met you, sir
Right...
I teach at Toyo Conservatorium of Music in Ueno (in Tokyo)
if you are move to Tokyo, stop by

on her way home, Sakurako was like having nice dreams
♬～
Onechan.... (older sister) you worried me so much
you are impossible! ah... sorry!
hey! sorry!
I won't forgive you time time! Never!
I will make sure it will never happen again
Please accept my sincere apology that's the problem
what do you think. Miss Arimori?
I believe she deserves punishment
to send a love letter to a male student
she won't be playing the piano at new students welcome party
Onechan(older sister) she certainly
deserves it! that's impossible
I'll take any punishment, so please let me play!
(Kaoruko)I am sorry! Kaoruko
It was me who wrote the love letter. I am the one who deserves the punishment!
Sakurako must play the piano
Ok, that' enough you two write "Good wife, wise mother"
200 times in your notebook but next time
you will certainly get punishment next time!
(Misae)you are quite bold, Sakurako. did you really write that love letter?
that's (Kaoruko)I wrote it.
(Kazue)really? It was Kaoruko? (Yoshiko)I see
then I can understand but the madam
Miso company thinks, it was Sakurako
anyhow this might be the beginning Sakurako's
of your love life Tamano koshi! (proverb: woman marries a rich man)
no, that's impossible noway
marrying a rich man from Miso company....
(crow)
(craftsman) (Nogiyamas's voice)
(Kane)Umeko san it is Sakurako, mam.
Tell me the truth do you want to have
a relationship with Tatsuhiko? No, I don't.
I was just asked to deliver that letter
really? He is an important successor to "Yamacho"
when the time comes, he is to marry
someone from a decent family
I don't want him to have any attachment to anyone till then
no need to worry. I am not interested in love or marriage
at the moment. More than anything, I want to study music now
Music? if it's possible, I'd like to go to Tokyo,
Conservatorium of Music and study piano (Kane's laughing voice)
what are you talking about!
someone who plays the organ just as a hobby,
want to study at Conservatorium of Music in Tokyo, that's impossible
(Kane's laughing voice)
Do you have any idea how much it costs to
study at Conservatorium of Music in Tokyo?
Our son, Tatsuhiko studies piano,
but for ordinary (not wealthy) people beyond their reach
someone like you, a daughter of low wage earner
that's impossible what a joke!
What's so funny about?
That great musician, Kimimaro Saionji
told me to come visit me in Tokyo Good bye!
♬～
(Tatsuhiko)well? Is that true? I went to Kimimaro Saionji's
recital as well it was great, wasn't it?
What did you think? Good bye!
♬～
Sorry about being a daughter of a low wage earner
there is no discrimination in music!
The main thing is your motivation. Motivation, talent and.....
♬～
(flashback) you're terrible
♬～
(Momoko)Tasty? Good
(Iso)Momoko chan! are you going to give away that Mieko Sakura?
that's a shame Mr. Kawahara gave it to you....
(Yutaro)Mr. Kawahara? Momo chan's candidate for marriage meeting
(Iso)Seems like a nice man. Even before we met him.
it is kind of him. Sakura chan, after finishing ladies college,
I'll find you someone nice for you.
Before that, Sakurako needs to learn manners, house work etc.
who is going to marry someone like you
(Iso)that's true. I hated to be ordinary,
I ran away from home, a lot happened since then
the best for a woman is to marry a nice man, start a family
training for homemaking
Sakura chan, right
I am not getting married. What's the matter?
After finishing ladies college, I want to study at Conservatorium of Music
what!? Please, father
Please let me study at Conservatorium of Music in Tokyo!
I want to study music in Tokyo!

That was a major event in the family
Sakurako's decision of her lifetime
