(Tatsuhiko) I'm not going to Germany
(Sakurako) the bottom line is you are a preppy, Tatsuhiko san
music is just a hobby for rich
that's not true!
I can't just go my way and pursue my love of music...
why don't you try?
you don't understand how I feel at all
not at all
you never realized how I feel!
about you...
♬～
(Hatsumi) hello!
it's hot, terribly hot Sakurako chan I bought some Tokoroten (thin translucent jelly strips, served cold)
would you like to have some?
♬～
what's the matter?
♬～
what was that?....
♬～
(Masa) Sakurako was at a loss
to find out Tatsuhiko's feeling
♬～
good morning
nice weather for a change oh, well, it was also fine yesterday?
good morning
(Togo) I'm going to stay in my room from now on
when I'm in the room, don't talk to me
I won't reply to you no matter what you say, but don't worry about it
yes
(Yasuji) Sakura chan, good morning
hey, Togo what are you doing?
it's "nesting crane?" hey, everyone!
Togo is starting "nesting crane!"
(Yae) ah... look what is "nesting crane?"
it happens 2 or 3 times a year
to work on a major work, he stays in his room
(Mari) if he starts today, he will make it to Independent art exhibition
I wonder how long it will take
(Yasuji) during that, he won't take a bath
or shave his face
the same as "The Crane of Gratitude" (Japanese folklore) he gets angry, if you try to look at the unfinished painting
let's bet how many days it will take till he finishes "nesting crane"
ah, Tatsuhiko san! good morning
I'm making breakfast now
would you care to eat with me?
no, thanks, I am fine, thanks
please do not hesitate please eat it with me
(Tatsuhiko) no, really, I am fine, thanks
(Hatsumi) please do not hesitate
♬～
did you eat your breakfast? yes, I ate it in a hurry
going out? then I'll come with you
(Kaoruko) hello Kaoruko!
nice to see you again can I come in for a second?
ah, of course thanks for coming
yep I'm not staying long
I'm here for work today
work? I learned from research,
Togo Sugi lives in this apartment?
you know Togo san? of course, he is famous!
he is one of the most promising young artists today!
I see
we are looking for an illustrator for our serial stories of our monthly magazine
if I manage Togo Sugi to do it, that'll make me look good at work
well, where is he?
I don't think it's a good idea now
you'd better not...
that is Togo Sugi? you'd better not
excuse me...
well, I am an editor from Kanda-gawa publisher
are you interested in illustration work, Mr Sugi
sir! can we talk a little! sir!
be quiet!
(door shut)
Kaoruko give it up today and let's have tea in my room
I think you'd better if you like, you can have tea in my room
but why you two (Tatsuhiko san and Sakurako) live in the same apartment?
you signed the lease together from the beginning? ah, well...
I moved in later
right Tatsuhiko san move in to keep watch over me
a watchman? he tells me what to do
like "go to bed early"
"don't go to dance hall" or "practice piano more"
it's so annoying!
is that right? sorry about that
well, I go home today yes I go home
why? you came all the way I still have work to do
sorry to bother you I'll come back some other time
yep
(Tokujiro) yeah!
in Okazaki, Iso opened a dressmaking shop
the members from the Arimori family gathered to celebrate
(clapping)
(Tokujiro) ah, Iso, nice shop! (Iso) thank you
well, I borrowed some money for this,
but once the business gets on track, I should be able to pay back soon
for Sakura chan and Yu chan,
I can send you some money
you can count on me from now on
(Fueko) first of all,
Yutaro must pass the entrance exams at Hachi HS next year (Yutaro) yep
(Momoko) there is also a flower from "Yamacho"
right such a small flower, isn't it?
a typical of stingy, Kane Matsui
hey, you shouldn't talk about the madam like that
but, it's the truth
the reason Tatsuhiko san lives in the same Marronnier apartment with Sakura chan is
because of the cheap rent
she must have so much money, yet so stingy
I'm not sure about that
(Kane) hello "Talk of the devil..."
wow, wow welcome
thank you for such cute tiny flower
(Kane) what a wonderful shop!
it must have cost a lot of money
despite the fact you have a daughter who is preparing for entrance exams
the Arimori family won't hesitate spending money on education
unlike your family how rude!
we are doing as much as we can for Tatsuhiko
but living at Marronnier apartment?
I heard the rent is so low there
a typical of Kane san
the policy of not wasting money
why do you know where my son is living?
well... I know Tokyo very well...
(whisper) aunt...
♬～
well... let's go wash my face
well... what?
Mr Matsuo called you
asking you to come to professor Saionji's house yep
(Ruriko) to take your name off from the list of this school
I got a signatory from other students
(Matsuo) unanimity what is the reason behind it?
you went to dance hall, of course
I have your resignation form here
all I need is your signature
and give it to professor when he comes back tomorrow
please wait a minute
I went to dance hall, too
I am the one who took Arimori
if you are to punish Arimori, I'll take punishment as well
is that true, Mr Matsui?
it's a lie he didn't "take" me there
if Mr Matsui really went to dance hall,
then we must inform the educational affairs section
(Saionji) Matsuo! Matsuo?
well, everybody is here! what's the occasion?
an early return yes, the meeting finished early
please sit down
well, is this a tea party?
Matsuo but there is no tea
well... professor
we were talking about the punishment to Miss Arimori well
why is it?
Miss Arimori goes to dance hall regularly
it is totally prohibited to a student at Saionji school
here is the signatory
all agree Miss Arimori to be expelled from the school
I see... it is true going to dance hall
is prohibited by our school regulations
professor!
the reason Arimori went to dance hall wasn't for fun
there is a wonderful jazz musician there...
jazz is music for wicked people! Matsuo
it is not a good manner to interrupt the person yes, sir
she fell in love with his performance
she couldn't stop loving music
I went to the dance hall with her once
if you are to punish Arimori, please punish me as well
♬～
dance hall?
that's not good dance hall is not a place for students
it is prohibited by the school regulations
♬～
but in Europe, dance is the taste for upper class people
for instance, waltz
♬～
and tango
♬～
and rumba (Ruriko) professor!
are you going to let Miss Arimori away with it?
yes this is not a school
(Ruriko) but... I don't understand
I don't think Miss Arimori's
technique isn't good enough for this school
I don't understand why you waste your valuable time
with untalented and no future prospective
student like her! untalented...
let's go into the lesson room
♬～
Miss Iwamizawa please play it
ah... score? there is none
I just made it up then that's impossible...
Mr. Matsui?
only if you played it again
then Miss Arimori yes
♬～
professor Saionji gave her a totally unexpected great break
good luck, Sakurako!
