(Masa) Tatsuhiko returned to Okazaki immidiately after receiving a telegram "father critical"
(Kane) my dear! come on!
my dear! what's wrong? dear!
(Tatsuhiko) dad! what!? what are you trying to say?
♬～
(Senkichi) about the details of making miso
these are written by the master
Sakurako went home to follow Tatsuhiko soon after...
(Kane) Sakurako san it was
your fault in the first place you seduced Tatsuhiko and took him to Tokyo
then Tatsuhiko says he won't succeed the business
that caused my husband to collapse!
(Iso) she thinks there is something
between Tatsuhiko san and Sakura chan for a long time, there can't be anything
right, Sakura chan (Sakurako) but he said, "I love you"
that's a big deal!
I want to study music with Tatsuhiko san
and support him to be a professional musician
and I want to study as much
and I want us to be best friends and rivals
(summer, 1938) then next day, Tatsuhiko went to visit Sakurako
with a certain decision
I'm going to succeed the business
aye?
how about music study? school?
I'll give it up why?
because you were studying so hard
professor acknowledges your talent and father supported you
this is just about to start...
the things have changed
♬～
after my father's death... everything has changed
my mother seems independent,
but I know she isn't now...
the business isn't going as well as I thought...
I simply can't leave at the time like this
♬～
(Ofumi) welcome back
Tatsuhiko! where were you?
mother I want you to gather everybody
first of all, I'd like to thank you
thank you for supporting my father and working for us till now
I took a look at bookkeeping and records from Mr. Nogiyama
I understand what sort of situation our business is in now
I was impressed to learn everyone is working hard
in a situation like this
my father has passed away
I think as a professional who thought about the business
more than anyone else it was an untimely death
I will carry out the intention of the deceased!
(Senkichi) young master... I’ll quit school
from now on I intend to work
as a head of "Yamacho" in Okazaki
I am young and inexperienced I appreciate your cooperation
♬～
Tatsuhiko... well said well said!
young master! thank you!
(everyone) thank you!
(Nogiyama) "Yamacho" will be in good hands!
(everyone) that's right!
♬～
Tatsuhiko thank you for your decision
I was really worried
I was worried what to do,
if you left me alone here and went to Tokyo
I was worried
you would break your promise and started to say
you want to be a musician...
no need to worry any more
I see you say kind things...
after all, it's nice to have a son
if you stay in Tokyo for a long time,
I'm sure you prefer Tokyo
anyway I'm glad you gave it up!
I'm thankful you no longer need to see
that Arimori's daughter anymore
that tomboy really drove us crazy!
that's right Tatsuhiko right
you and she live in a different world now
(Togo) hello (Fueko) coming!
(Togo) anyone home
may I ask who you are?
I'm Sugi from Marronnier apartment in Tokyo
(flashback) would you model for me? you have a nice figure
nice curves what curves!?
ah... what do you want!?
is Sakura chan home? I came to see her
Sakurako is out now
and do you have anything to eat? pardon!?
I've been traveling around for a long time
I had no place to stay and I'm hungry
it has nothing to do with me!
what are you to Sakurako in the first place!?
"keyaguda" (Tsugaru dialect) "keyagu?" friend
a friend came over and wouldn't be so rude
I don't believe you! hey! get out!
♬～
(Kiyoshi) young master hi
I'm impressed with your speech today thank you for your support
about miso production you are more experienced
I appreciate your help
may I ask you a question? sure
(Kiyoshi) about Sakura chan of Arimori
are you going to give up Sakura chan?
I haven't thought about that yet
all I can think of is our business at the moment
(Kiyoshi) then about Sakura chan
I can do what I want to do, right
right?
♬～
gochisosama (Momoko) that's all?
come to think of it Tatsuhiko came over today
something happened?
Tatsuhiko san will succeed the buisness
♬～
it's natural for the eldest son
no matter how much he wants to pursue music in Tokyo
there's nobody else to success the business
♬～
(Yutaro) that means he will break up with onechan (older sister)?
♬～
♬～(Home! Sweet Home!)
Tatsuhiko san
shall we sit there? yep
I've got notebooks from my father
he has written since he entered the miso business about difficulties and experience
it's all written there
he seldom talked about his work when he was alive
but as I read them
it was as if I'm hearing his voice
I can tell
he really loved miso making and the business itself
therefore... the reason I decided to succeed the business is
not because I was forced to it was my own decision
I see I understand
but I don't want to break up with you, Arimori like this
♬～
I still want to see you in the future is it impossible?
no not impossible
♬～
I thought I didn't want to break up with you, Tatsuhiko san like this either
♬～
but how do we do it? when we meet up
if I went to the shop you mother would be angry at me
at home, my grandpa is annoying
well...
ah! how about this? aye?
letter joined together writing when and where to meet
and join it to this branch, OK OK
(door opens)
what are you surprised? Togo san?
you two get along well
