(Masa) one year after Sakurako came to Tokyo,
she passed the entrance exams of the Toko music school at her second attempt
Fueko who has been supporting Sakurako in a shade
was having hard time dealing with the educational policy of time
she was forced to choose to continue teaching or not
Sakurako decided to give up
her dream of pursuing her music
(Sakurako) it's my turn to make her happy
for Momoko, Yutaro and
Fueko who left teaching and married with Togo
for the sake of Fueko's happiness
Sakurako chose to stay in Okazaki and support them
(Fueko) please do not betray your own feelings!
this is my last lesson
the night she sold the piano filled with father's memories
Sakurako determined
to live and support the family
from now on crying under Tatsuhiko's arms
who also pursued music
♬～
(summer, 1940) a year has passed
Sakurako spent busy days working as a waitress at coffee shop Marseilles
during the day and did sewing
as a side job with Momoko at night to support Yutaro's
school expenses and family
Momo nechan (older sister) would you send this at the post office later?
(Momoko) that's for Yu chan's school expenses I'm grateful
don't mention it
that includes the income from our a side job
yes
national uniform again? we only get orders for national uniforms lately
aunt was complaining
"she wanted to make clothes with red or pink"
(Togo) wow! (Fueko) ah, stop it!
(laughter)
see you
yeah see you
♬～
good morning! good morning!
while Sakurako was working with Hiro san
at coffee shop Marseilles
she met Tatsuhiko who made frequent visit secret from Kane
(Tatsuhiko) hello
♬～
hi! hello!
there is something for you what is it?
book for composing
Arimori, you said "you are interested in composing"
I thought you can study this little by little
between your work without having the time to play the piano
thanks, but no thanks aye, why not?
I thought I'd better not think about music
till Yu chan finishes university...
and I don't have time to play the piano now
when I played it for a change I don't like what I hear
the finger movements I could do, I can no longer do that now
I see
thank you for your consideration not at all...
(Hiro) here is coffee
it's hot!
I'll sprinkle some water
you can play any record you like
(door shut)
(door open) good heavens! Tatsuhiko kun, madam
(2 people) aye!? this is...
not good
♬～
welcome (Kane) is Tatsuhiko here?
he just left
ah... what can I do for you?
we were to arrange a marriage meeting
with a daughter from eel shop, Ookuro
but he hasn't been around since morning
a marriage meeting
(Hiro) you must have missed him he should be back by now
that might be the case sorry to bother you
good bye
♬～
madam must be obsessed with the marriage meeting!
well, I go back yep
this
sorry, my mother made you feel uncomfortable
no well I am...
no, nothing see you
(door shut)
at the time, it became a common sight in various places in town
a soldier's good‐luck belt with a thousand stitches embroidered
by a thousand different women
♬～
Tatsuhiko san is having a marriage meeting? yep
that's natural
Tatsuhiko san is about the right age
you don't mind it, Sakura chan?
I didn't think we could be together in the first place
Sakura chan...
I decided not to think about future
so many men are sent to war
there are people who lost their lives at the front in this town
I can't think about tomorrow instead
I want to live the moment day after day
I love Tatsuhiko san I'm glad to see him every now and then
that's enough for me
♬～
(Kane) I need your answer today
I won't have a marriage meeting that's what I've decided
look at this beautiful, from a nice family and well-bred
her hobby is Koto (traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument) and tea ceremony
we can't complain
why do you refuse one after another?
I can't think of marriage yet
don't be selfish it's for the business
for business?
(Nogiyama) that's right that's what I want to say too
(Kane) you became a head as a young man
to be trusted by others
the best and simplest way is to get married
once you start a family you will look dignified
(Kiyashi) madam! Seikichi san is calling you
yes, I'm coming just wait, Tatsuhiko
Senkichi? he is at the washroom
(Nogiyama) this is her family chart and personal history
please have a look
(flashback) we are having a hard time
it's not the time for me to play the piano casually
don't give up piano, Arimori
it's for the family...
♬～
(Kane) what do you think, Tatsuhiko? nice lady isn't she?
♬～
Tatsuhiko? Tatsuhiko!
I'll get married
I see, great you reconsidered it!
yes, I have someone I want to marry with
someone you want to marry with?
I'll marry Sakurako Arimori
what!?
(Tatsuhiko) I couldn't propose to her as she wanted to go to music school
in Tokyo till while ago
but I don't need to worry about that now
she might be better off being here financially
and she might have the time to play the piano
I won't allow it!
you are the head and how about the business!
I'm not joking I am serious
an undutiful son! a shameless person!
(Nogiyama) Madam! calm down, Madam!
hey Kiyoshi! do something!
(Kane) what are you thinking!?
♬～
(Tatsuhiko) Arimori, marry me
yes, Tatsuhiko san
♬～
(Kiyoshi) no, Sakura chan... no!
Sakura chan, no! no! no!
old man, what happened to you!? to fell from the ladders
it's not like you old man
when old man became like this...
ah! it's about Sakura chan
you'd better give up, old man!
it's impossible love no matter how many times you confess
she would turn you down each time! (laughter)
what!? it wasn't me!
(Kane) I see! you are in love with that girl
(piano)
Tatsuhiko thought he wanted to marry with Sakurako to let her continue her music studies
even though the mother would be against it
first of all, he must find out
Sakurako's feeling
I'm back!
Tatsuhiko san, you are here what's that?
Momo nechan (older sister) told me they were in the garden
to decorate the shop
I'll make some coffee? right yeah...
Arimori
would you sit down?
(Kane) hello!
hello! Hello
there is something we want to talk about
could you get Tokujiro san?
yes...
please
(Tokujiro) what can we do for you today?
I brought a marriage meeting for Sakurako san
a marriage meeting!
(Kane) yes! with our Kiyoshi
♬～
will Tatsuhiko be able to
propose to Sakurako?
