(Momoko) thank you very much for everything
(Iso) not at all I've been depending on you,
cooking, cleaning and laundry
all the time
no, no it'll spoil your make up
(Yutaro) don't worry nobody looks at aunts face
what are you talking about!?
(Fueko) Momo chan as you must understand
from now on The kawahara family is your family yes
Nagoya and Okazaki is nearby train, but
go there as if you were going far away
yes
♬～
Sakura chan
don't forget to feed Miiko (Sakurako) yep
when she had kittens, feed her some more
but don't look after too much
that'll make her uneasy and disappear to somewhere
don't worry, I'll look after her
♬～
(Masa) She felt like there were so much to talk about,
in the end, Sakurako couldn't tell her much
♬～ Kawahara
July, 1937 Momoko was married to Mr. Kawahara
♬～
one day in summer a few days after The Marco Polo Bridge Incident in China,
Japan has made hasty change towards militarism
♬～
well! Thank you very much
Yutaro!
mother....
would you please have a cup?
(woman) what a beautiful bride!
well. Momo nechan (older sister) won't smile a bit
true? must be nervous
I hope that's it
I wonder if Mr Kawahara was the right man
shut up! if you say that to Momo nechan (older sister)
slap you look, she is trying her best
Mrs. Kawahara insisted on bringing
a decent "Bridal goods"
we bought a drawer from the money they gave for the bride
we borrowed Kimono from someone
borrowed? what do you mean?
(woman 1) Aunt Yukie
may we have a look at the drawer
(Yukie) yes, please have a look
(woman 2) thank you
ah, this is cotton kasuri aye?
not quite suitable for a bride
ah well I am sorry
they are my mother's Keepsake
(woman 3) but there are so many
this is great
thank you very much what's that?
but has a different family crest
(woman) there are so many without..
that means
these are secondhand
Momoko, what's going on? this...
(Kawahara) Momoko...
♬～
(Tokujiro) in fact... as a matter of fact
it happened so soon we had to
prepare it in a hurry
what is this? this...
ah...! we did it in such a hurry we put the wrong things!
doesn’t make sense!
(man) "Yes movement at the Marco Polo Bridge ! Night attack of enemies and huge close combat ! " .
look at this! I just picked up extra
(Tokujiro) how's the situation? the situation? how is it?
(Kawahara) our military's easy victory for sure
it says "our soldiers bravely
fought against the enemy,
occupied the enemy territory" wonderful!
well done! that's our Japanese military!
every one let's do hurray in 1. 2, 3!
(everyone) 1, 2, 3! hurray! hurray! hurray!
this way Momoko's embarrassment was saved by the Japanese military
it was a very expensive ceremony
but that means they have
high opinion of Momo chan
is that right? just pretentious?
Yutarao! a man shouldn't have a big mouth!
Sakura chan from now on, it is your turn to do cleaning, laundry and etc
what Momo chan used do is what you have to do now
take it as a preparation for marriage
that's right, Sakurako Fueko told me
you are doing nothing but playing the piano
instead of having an unrealistic dream,
you'd better learn to be a woman!
Yutarao, you too! study hard and
pass the entrance exam to Hachi HS in 2 years!
don't be lazy, because this is a summer vacation
but study hard and become a respectable man,
drafted and sent to war zone
nonsense!
there won't be a war
well, they say Japan is the major player of peace in Asia...
it was a really close call today
put the borrowed Kimono
in the bridal drawer, that is unheard of
it was such a shame I am really sorry
Momoko wasn't aware of it,
so please forgive us
please never do this sort of thing again
about this household's tradition, Ryo san please teach
Momoko properly
yes, mam
I will make sure she won't trouble you, mother
well, it’s time for me to go to bed
that enough! just leave!
♬～
this is your room
first of all,
please never do anything that gets my mother's nerve again
yes she is always in an annex.
she seldom gets out of there as she hates people
in that sense, it should be easier to deal with
your change
♬～
!
you must get up at 3 every morning and
prepare my mother's favorite eggplant's pickles
breakfast at 6, then cleaning, here is dust cloth
this for wooden floor an this for Tatami floor
use this for furniture, this for figurines
this for Shoji doors once you changed,
come to my bedroom over there
any question?
!
either as a sole bread winner of the family
or release from the loss of her father
Fueko started to practice Kendo all of the sudden
yah!
(Tokujiro) fast!
♬～(piano)
Sakurako was practicing the basic so hard for the entrance exam
during the summer vacation
♬～
aunt, these chop sticks... aye?
chop sticks just a habit...
4 of us now yes, 4
6 became 4, kind of sad
soon we'll have another aye?
I decided to rent a room by the entrance hall from next week
aye? is it safe, Fue chan?
a man lives here with the female household
not a female household, I am a man I think having a man in the female household
would be helpful
maybe that's true yeah, true
sounds interesting I wonder what sort person comes
I'm against it why?
I don't like the idea of a stranger living here with our family
it is also for your future tuition
Yutarao! you are so picky, Yu chan
(Iso's laughter)
yeah! another hot day today! "Room for rent?"
(Tokujiro) hello! I'm coming in! It's me
(Iso) What's the matter? hey, what's this?
"Room for rent?"
what are you doing without my permission?
we must save money
to fund for Yutaro's university education, we must do it
you are the head of the family,Yutaro how about you? what do you think...
my income is supporting the family at the moment
Yutaro is the head of the family, but I am the finance minister
no... I won't allow it when a male boarder comes...
that's impossible! we already have an appointment for the interview
a man? ah? which was it....
no matter what grandpa says,
we will have a boarder
(man) hello! how do you do? this is Uehara
coming! please go home, grandpa!
I won't leave!
♬～
I will decide the boarder!
I wonder if there will be a boarder good enough for Tokujiro
Sakurako was beginning to worry about it
