(Masa) Sakurako thought she could never play
as well as him
♬～
(clapping)
(Hiro) great you play so well, Tatsuhiko
(Tatsuhiko) ah
(Sakurako) the piece you were just playing was for the entrance exam at music school...
yeah, I've decided to take the entrance exam at music school in Tokyo
I heard about it (Tatsuhiko) I see
so I decided to play "Sonata opus 10, no. 3"
there should be a lot of quality applicants,
I chose the most difficult one to impress them I see
what have you chosen? I haven't decided yet...
"opus 10, no. 1" what was it like?
I haven't decided on this yet
ah, I remember I learned it before
the finger movement here is difficult why don't you try it?
I'll have a look for you leave me alone!
taking the same entrance exam means we are rivals
don't talk to me!
♬～
(Tatsuhiko) I need a seal there
I can't take an entrance exam without a parental consent
so please
(Takuji) hey, you! (Kane) I won't allow it
not music school
I disown you get out of the house
isn't it too much?
I see
♬～
hey, where are you going?
Tatsuhiko! Tatsuhiko! where are you going!?
(Kane) Tatsuhiko!
♬～
Tatsuhiko! what are you doing? if you say, get out, I'll get out
I'll take care of myself oh, no your mother is...
♬～
(clerk) what was that?
(Iso) it was very rude of her!
how dare she told us it was Sakura chan who talked him into it
too much imagination, that bitch
(Fueko) but I can understand why she lost her temper
the only son who she believed
to succeed the business has betrayed her
Fue chan, which side are you?
(Momoko) I feel sorry for Tatsuhiko
it may look good from outside to succeed the business,
but his life was decided when he was born
Tatsuhiko who was disown by his mother, Kane,
was let stay at Hiro's place for free in exchange for helping his coffee shop
Tatsuhiko kun, can you play the piano? something romantic
there is a thing called table music in Europe,
the live music is performed while the customers
enjoy meal or tea in a restaurant
don't you think it's nice? right? yep
♬～
you could say "unexpected things often happen"
"coffee shop Marseille" became popular as a place where you can listen to
live piano performance
that was rare in Okazaki after a while the place was filled with
those who like something new and music lovers
♬～(piano)
I am sorry, it is full...
Tatsuhiko's piano performance is very popular, there is no table, but you might want to listen?
ah, you are rivals yes, I'd like to listen
♬～
Tatsuhiko kun, he was kicked out of the house
is that right!?
what a shame! he is so good
due to the opposition from his parents, he can't take the entrance exam
♬～
what's wrong? aren't going to play?
Momo nechan (older sister), I am lucky
what? all of the sudden...
when I said I wanted to study music,
my dad supported me first
we had some trouble, but now Fue nechan (older sister) supports me now
well, I am not sure about grandpa...
grandpa is also supporting you
I'm not sure yes, he is
he is just saying
ah, I remember
giving a recital at grandpa's barn yep
yeah, grandpa started to cry
♬～
ah!
I got an idea! ah, what?
♬～
hello!
(2 people) recital!?
right! we are going to have a recital here
and show off how good
Tatsuhiko's performance is
your mother never saw Tatsuhiko perform in front of people, right?
any parent must love to see their son being praised and appreciated
I'm sure that'll make her happy
when she saw
the audience gets into your piano performance and hear the clapping Tatsuhiko san
I'm sure that will make her feel proud
I'm not sure I don't think it is that simple
well, let's try!
seems like a good idea! aye! sounds interesting
and it will be good for the business yep
♬～
Tatsuhiko ken, don't worry about it,
why don't you practice your piano?
I'll do that after this
you let me stay here for free
don't worry (knock on the door)
I wonder who it is? at this time of the night
sorry, we are closed... (Takuji) !!!
hi! dad!?
ah, you are the president of "Yamacho"? how do you do?
thank you for taking care of my son not at all
sorry about it Taku san is drunk
he said,
"my son is an excellent pianist" at the party...
Tatsuhiko, play! anything!
what are you saying!? bring me sake!
you serve sake here?
(Hiro) I'm afraid not I'll bring you nice coffee now
hey, Tatsuhiko what don't you play the piano for him?
♬～
(clapping)
wow, you are so good right, Umeko, he is so good?
right, really good! (clapping)
your father understands your feeling so well
if your future is decided before you were born, it is natural you want to go some other way
and your mother makes you do things her way
so I need to get rid of stress once in a while
with someone beautiful, right?
(laughter) dad!
well, don't worry about your father...
but, Tatsuhiko
but in this way, your mother won't compromise neither do you
we will never get the solution, right?
so you'd better compromise a little now
compromise? for example,
suggest you will concentrate on music studies
next 4 years,
but after graduation
you will concentrate on succeeding the business
♬～
you don't like it... but
is there any other way to make your mother agree?
no so, you must make her say yes
future is future
it is your fate to be born to be a successor to "Yamacho"
just take your time to deal with your fate,
think about it and decide your future
after all life is long, right?
♬～
(laughter) well?
hey! (laughter)
(Tatsuhiko Matsui Piano Recital January 25 at 7 pm) please please!
please please
Matsui... Tatsuhiko "coffee shop Marseille" from 7 pm tomorrow
(Yutaro) well yep?
if the son for "Yamacho" can take the entrance exam for the music school,
that means you have another rival, right? yep
why are you supporting your rival
doing this?
the real hero is not afraid of fighting against his opponent
it's the code of the samurai
"from Uesugi Kenshin sending salt to his enemy" that's the spirit
that's for the masters of Samurai but onechan (older sister) are you a master of piano?
you are not that good... work!
please! from 7 pm tomorrow
Sakurako totally forgot about supporting her rival,
she did her best
please please!
please come!
