(Tokujiro) where is Sakurako!?
(Masa) Sakurako, with help from Tatsuhiko, has convinced
both Fueko and Tokujiro who tried to bring her back to Okazaki
she can study music one more year in Tokyo
(Fueko) let's let her stay in Tokyo
on the other hand, Tatsuhiko who feels for Sakurako
has been struggling to choose between the reality of succeeding family business or following his dream for music
(Kane) you are the successor of "Yamcho"
come back in 4 years and take over the business
understood!?
(Tatsuhiko) I can't just go my way and pursue my love of music...
(Sakurako) why don't you try?
you never realized how I feel! about you...
♬～
(Saionji) I'm going to a concert tour in Germany
I want you to come along
Sakurako and Tatsuhiko who follow the same ambition
became close through understanding each other's troubles
they realize they need each other
I'll be always on your side from now on...
no matter what others say...
♬～ July, 1938
at such time, Kane visited Marronnier apartment all of the sudden
♬～
oh my god! what?
my mother is here! aye!?
so... she is here! (Kane) hello!
♬～
hello
(Kane) nobody's home?
Tatsuhiko?
well, the reason Kane made a surprise visit
to Marronnier apartment
the story goes back to Okazaki 7 days ago
(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
we are doing as much as we can for Tatsuhiko
but living at Marronnier apartment?
why do you know where my son is living?
well... I know Tokyo very well...
♬～
"Marronnier apartment is an elegant Western style building,
close to school with one piano and large a saloon
all the residents are ladies and gentlemen"
(Mari) ladies and gentlemen? (Hatsumi, Yae) about us?
she'd find out it's a lie once she saw it
(Yasuji) hey! Sakurako chan! don't look at me as you said it!
so, anyway, we have to work on it
(Togo) then I excuse myself please do so
to be honest, I wish nobody would be here...
(Yasuji) did you just say something? No, nothing
hello, excuse me
excuse me...
ah, excuse me!
is this no. 15 Yanaka-cho?
no, this is no. 18
I see... that's strange
I'd better go, check at police box
Tatsuhiko!? a wrong person
wait a minute!
where do you come from! well...
ah, this is the place
what's elegant Western building!?
it's totally different from your letter!
it's surprisingly nice inside
I see I make sure
ah, wait a minute you don't have to go in now
I have to go out now
where are you goin? aye? professor Saionji's place
professor Saionji!
I thought I had to say hello to him in person
take me there
♬～
(Kane)!!
professor! please take these!
wow, this much too much...
please take them
we have so much of these for sale
we are miso manufacture
I see, thank you Matsuo (Matsuo) yes
Matsuo yes
please take your seat thank you
(Saionji) Tatsuhiko is excellent he has a bright future
that's why I asked him to come along to Germany
thank you very much for coming
♬～
sorry? what was it all about?
sorry, professor I haven't told her yet
but there is no problem, right? I'm not sure
(Saionji) by the way, I'm going to a concert tour to Germany from this August
I wanted Tatsuhiko kun to see Europe,
so I asked him to come along to those who is aiming at becoming a professional musician
I thought he must experience the top class music
that's out of the question! that's impossible! pardon?
Tatsuhiko... my son is to succeed our buiness
I don't want him to consider
becoming a professional musician in the future
♬～
(Kane) it's impossible to go to Germany
(Saionji) I see... but...
out of the question!
♬～
(customer) thanks! yes the money is here
thank you very much! please come back again
welcome! welcome!
what's the matter? your mother? I just left her somehow
I took her to Kabuki (classical Japanese dance-drama)
and I left her there I see
by the way, could you come home
without being noticed by my mother? I don't like to sneak in
you said you'd talk to your mother
face to face about music
I know!
why are you so excited? sorry...
okay, I'll sneak in without being seen by your mother
(Kane) it was so fun! Kabuki! (classical Japanese dance-drama)
but Tatsuhiko, don't disappear during the performance
even though I'm used to Tokyo,
I don't feel comfortable left alone
mother! please wait here for a minute
please don't come in yet this is the place!
Tatsuhiko! wait...
♬～
hey... Yasuji san, Yae san!
my mother is here
why are you doing it now!?
but we've been doing this twice a month for a while right?
sorry
we didn't know when your mother'd be back...
she is waiting in front of the building if she saw this,
she would certainly lose her mind and make a big scene
your mother is just like
Sakurako's scary older sister?
she is many times worse
she would say something like she'd tear the building down
let's go home, everyone please take your things
please, Kazu please, Tamio
(Yae) sorry about that, everyone！
(Tatsuhiko) Yasuji san aye?
♬～
thank you for coming
who are these people?
they had art class art class?
yep, the owner is an art lover
and he supports art students
(cough) I am the owner
how do you do? thank you for having Tatsuhiko here
you must be surprised to see this dirty place! yes!
but this Marronnier apartment
was built in 1892, has a long established tradition
please come in please
♬～
(Yasuji) my grandfather, Zenbei Hanaoka who was studying in Germany
was so impressed with Gymnasium system
he built this place
a motto is "sober and honest" and "morality"
this is Tatsuhiko kun's room please go in
please (Kane) !
I totally forgot to bring some miso for the owner
well, I'll do that later
please
♬～
Tatsuhiko san's mother...
a tiny room and old...
the cheap rent, so it's good

the lady who does cooking has
a really bad cold for the last week or so
(knock) (Hatsumi) excuse me!
excuse me, I brought Tatsuhiko san's dinner
she looks fine!
I spent a half day to cook this I see
(Hatsumi) a grilled mackerel with miso and boiled spinach (eaten with soy sauce)
taro and kidney beans boiled in soy sauce
Tatsuhiko san's favorite fried eggs
at least a decent meal at this place
she is the cooking lady?

we know each other from this spring
madam, it is such a pleasure to have met you
♬～
