(Masa) there is a new lodger in the Arimori household, his name is Mr.Saito,
a bit unusual teacher
(Saito) I teach physics at No.2 Normal school (teachers' college)
"write straight road" (Chinese character) NAOMICHI
(Iso) wow!!!
Cogito ergo - Sum.... Cogito Ergo Sum - cogito ergo - Sum ... .
(Sakurako) are you all right, sir!? ah, please don't worry
it happens often yeah...
what were you reading?
It's Descartes
"I think, Therefore I am " it means thinking about one’s existence
proves—in and of itself—that an "I" exists to do the thinking; or, as Descartes explains,
we cannot doubt of our existence while we doubt.
but if I am not living now,
there is no point of thoughts
I think it is more likely "I am, therefor I think"
wrong? what do you think? I don't know
well, I don't know
sir yes? there a hole in your sock
ah, I thought it's not big enough
but you noticed?
(Iso) well!
what's wrong with your sock, sir? yeah, well...
please take it off. I'll mend it and then wash it
but that is too much
please don't worry!
if there is other laundry, just give it to us!
underwear or anything! even my underwear!
yeah, stinks.. this too..
yes
how can you touch them
who knows how many days he was wearing them Mr. Saito's socks
what are you talking about, Sakura chan once you got married,
you must wash your husband's
socks, underwear or whatever
it's not about that
(Yutaro) he only goes to public bath only once a week.
he doesn't want to waste time or money going there
as I thought! Mr. Saito reads his book till right before his mealtime
when I looked into from behind the other day,
there was so much dandruff between pages
(Fueko) is it really? yeah!
that's fine
he studies so hard, looks like a good person
he might be popular among women
I don't think it matters ah? really, you don't care?
unreliable man like him is not my type
ah! If you are to marry, someone like him would be ideal,
he seems kind, help you with housework.
I won't get married till Yutaro gets into university...
women get old very quickly
Fue chan, you must be only interest in handsome men
aunt! ah, shall I ask him?
if he has someone special, or engaged
stop it! why?
excuse me.. please
this one has a rip ar the sleeve...
don't worry, I'll do... ah, sir!
Fue chan, take a look at for him
ah, where is the rip?
here...
I can fix it right away
....
she said "he is not her type"
ah!
Saionji Kimimaro (flashback) (Kimimaro) Toko Conservatorium of Music
I teach at piano department there
with a new lodger, the household is little chaotic
at this time Sakurako's only interest was music
and piano
she really wanted to pass the entrance exam no matter what
despite the opposition from Fueko
♬～(piano)
ah, excuse me Am I bothering you?
if I practice at home, my older sister doesn't like it
I'm leaving now
(Nishino) your left hand is slow here
you must learn the distance between do and re with your body. like this
♬～( piano)
I see! and you must pay attention to the sound
more carefully apart from playing
last year's repertoire at Toko Conservatorium of Music Beethoven's piano Sonata
I'll test you in 3 days ah?
prepare for it as if a practice exam
Miss!
are you going to help me?
that depends on the result of practice exam
there is no point of teaching hopeless student
♬～
help from Miss Nishino was the only hope, and that will decide
whether she can go to the music school or not
♬～
learning Beethoven's piano Sonata for the first time was a difficult piece for Sakurako
but she can't give up now
♬～
then the day before the practice exam has come
♬～(Piano Sonata)
she is really trying hard, Sakurako
sorry about that it must disturb your studies
I am fine, but little worried as she is in there last 2 days,
she might become ill
I'll make her stop
♬～(Piano Sonata)
well, please don't worry
I didn't mean that
Sakura chan, your bad piano playing is annoying everyone
please stop! it isn't annoying me at all
that's enough! stop it!
this is Miss Nishino...
I asked Miss Nishino for help
this is repertoire for tomorrow's practice exam
Sakurako I told you many times
"we can't afford to send you to music school"
why can't you give it up!?
because my dad supports me
(Genichiro) "I knew you would mention the music school in Tokyo someday,
all the best,
you can make it."
♬～
when I sit at the piano, I feel as if my dad is beside me
and looking over me
so no matter what you say, I never give up!
♬～
look at the reality
no matter what, it is impossible
♬～
(Iso) Sakura chan, where are you going?
♬～
Sakurako didn't come home on that night
♬～
(noise)
!!!
aa... excuse me
I was hungry as I stayed up so last night's left over...
ah, excuse me please help yourself
the food goes bad fast in summer, so please be careful
Sakura san, hasn't come home yet
leave her alone such a spoiled brat
sorry, please make yourself feel at home
at that time, Sakurako
was practicing Beethoven's piano Sonata as hard as possible at school
♬～(Piano Sonata)
(noise)
Sir! I brought you some food
I made it from left over in the kitchen
wow.. thank you very much! this is just a little return
to your delicious meal all the time
is it really tasty? our food sorry?
neither Fue chan or I are not good at cooking
we are worried if they are good enough for you
It is delicious
there are rather luxury dishes
at my home, we regular had dinner just with pickles
and miso soup I see
we lost father early and mother supported me from her sewing
and even sent me to university
mother and son, we went through poverty
therefor even now, I feel guilty to my mother
whenever I have a little luxury
that's why you go to public bath once in 7 days ah?
ah, nothing!
Itadakimasu
mnn! delicious! Cod roe, right.
do you like cod roe? yes!
you want to go to music school? yes
that's nice
as long as we have aspirations, we will be fine
good luck! thank you!
