(Sakurako) good morning!
(Hiro) good morning, Sakura chan (Tatsuhiko) good morning!
let me help as well
I hope many will come tonight
sure will
the problem is the madam
don't worry I took care of it
"this is a prelude, the real battle is at the entrance exam in Tokyo
I will prove I am better than Tatsuhiko san"
(sigh)
mom
you came to the recital?
now!
what?
ah!
♬～
where is Tatsuhiko san? not outside?
♬～
(customer 1) when does it start? 30 minutes late already!
I am sorry! I am so sorry, everyone
there is an unexpected problem for the performer,
Tatsuhiko Matsui kun
I'll serve you some coffee,
I ask for your patience
help me, Yu chan (Yutaro) yep
(customer 2) If I can't hear the piano, there is no reason to stay
let's go (customer 3) yeah, let's go!
please wait for a little more! he will be here soon!
please!
Kiyoshi (Kiyoshi) young master won't come
why?
wait, wait a minute! why doesn't Tatsuhiko san come?
I locked him in the shop why?
a son of miso company wants to become a musician, he must be out of his mind
that's too selfish, he is a trouble maker to madam and us
but it wasn't Tatsuhiko san's choice to be born
at the miso company
people in the coffee shop are all waiting for Tatsuhiko san!
I am, too!
please, I beg you! let Tatsuhiko san go
♬～
(noise)
(Hiro) there is more coffee,
so please wait a little longer
(female customer) how many more minutes do we need to wait?
please don't go, everyone
please let me play in the place for Tatsuhiko Matsui
(everyone) aah
♬～("St Louis blues")
(noise)
is there someone?
please open! (knock on the door)
please, open it
I appreciate it
♬～("Home! Sweet Home!")
that's enough, Hiro san
this isn't a music class at primary school
I came here to listen to Beethoven
I am sorry
thanks
♬～(Beethoven's "Appassionata")
(Takuji) Kane, Kane! where are you going? (Kane) you know!
I'll make it stop! I'll stop the recital!
wait, Kane! take care!
♬～("Appassionata")
don't do it now!
you can be as angry as you like later, but don't do it now!
!
♬～("Appassionata")
Bravo !
(clapping)
mom, sorry
this is what I want to do
is this what I want to do!
this is what you really love!
the expression while you are playing the piano
the eyes are shinning, you are really into it
why you never showed that expression to your mother?
♬～
I see, I give up
do whatever you like aye?
you mean I can take the entrance exam?
but there is a condition you must pass
in any case, I won't let you lose to this girl
that'll be so embarrassing!
(clapping)
Bravo !
be quiet! (laughter)

(Kane) Tatsuhiko
remember, what I allowed you to do is
to go to music school for the next 4 years,
then you must come back and succeed the business
if you can't promise that, I won't let you go to Tokyo
Tatsuhiko
I understand I'll do that
(door shuts)
(Masa) Sakurako didn't know the pressure
Tatsuhiko was having yet
♬～ (March, 1938)
in the end Sakurako and Tatsuhiko are to take the entrance exam
at music school in Tokyo in March
