(Sakurako) I brought you some souvenir today
(Tatsuhiko) it's "Kanoko Yose!" I love these
Omatimi used to make it for me I can never forget this taste
♬～
Otami... (Tami) young master...
you are a grown up man...
♬～
how are you, Otami?
(cry)
♬～
I was so surprised I never thought Otami would come
it's been 18 years
mistress asked for her from Gamagori (about 15 km away)
there was an opportunity to invite the members of Diet
to ask Tami san to cook for them it's about controlled price...
how did it go? it went well!
Tami san did her best so did I...
aye?
well, Tami san is an expert cook
anyway, nobody can cook better than her
have you eaten her dishes?
well, yes
you are not helping the shop, are you?
no, of course not...
really? yes
well, I help them out once in a while
as I've already received the money for Yu chan's tuition
so I feel I must do something
Arimori
what I want you to do is to study music
not to help the shop I know
♬～(Home! Sweet Home!)
(Masa) Sakurako wants to meet
Tatsuhiko's expectations, but she didn't know
how to express her love for music
(flashback) (Tatsuhiko) Book of the compositional technique
"you said you were interested in composing, Arimori"
I thought even if you don't have time
to practice the piano, you could study between jobs
♬～(piano)
Tatsuhiko san, please don't worry
I intend to continue to study music
but I'm thinking lately
there is music wherever you are
music won't run away from you
instead of chasing music, just enjoy the music there
you can be happy
hello
♬～
(Tatsuhiko) the music you composed has arrived, it's a nice piece
I can hear the melody in my head even in barracks
(solider) superior! salute!
♬～
one day when Sakurako started
to commute to "Yamacho"
(Yae) hello! is Sakurako san home?
yes!
Yae san!
Sakura chan! nice to see you, you look fine
ah, this is Morita
(Togo) hi! (Yae) Togo san!
(Fueko) it's nice to see you again (Yae) it's nice to see you again
who is this?
(Morita) my name is Morita I came here to talk to Mr. Sugi
the art world in Tokyo has been inactive
there is trend to regard the avant-garde arts with hostility
the existing art groups fear for it
so it's time to start a new group
among young generation...
all the young people have motivation
but there is no established artists, no leader
if you can support us, it would be a great help
we want you to come back to Tokyo
Tokyo
they say artists are useless
we are losing more and more freedom
at the time like this, we must get together and help each other
I'm afraid I can't move now why not?
my wife is having a baby
I see... I'm afraid I didn't notice
♬～
♬～(record)
engaged with Tatsuhiko!? yeah
well, you should told me much earlier
if I knew, I'd brought something for it
sorry, but so much was happening
it was just before he joined the army I see, that's how it happened
yeah
Sakurako chan, are you going to be a mistress at Miso shop?
not a mistress, but "young mistress"
in that case, there is no time for piano
but work at Miso shop is also fun
I discover something new everyday
you never know
Togo san settled down with a child
Sakurako chan became a mistress at Miso shop
there is no room for me
not a mistress, but "young mistress" you are right!
time to go coming see you
Yae san! yeah?
is he your boyfriend?
well, Sakurako chan...
thank you!
going out?
(cicada)
onechan (older sister)
shall I bring something cold?
he is...
I think Togo san wants to go back to Tokyo
that worried me sometime
that reminded me today
Tokyo is the place for artists after all
there can't be a reason he doesn't want to be in Tokyo
when I come to think of it, he's been in Okazaki for 2 years
♬～
onechan (older sister)
Togo san is here, because he likes it here
he loves you and he likes it here
yeah...
you can't move to Tokyo under the condition like yours, can you?
Togo san knows that
♬～
at that time, the difference between Tokyo and the country was big
the word "Tokyo" had
special meaning among aspiring artists
for Sakurako, too
♬～
I'm sorry
good night
♬～
(2 people) thank you very much!
(Nogiyama) this is "Yamacho" thank you very much!
yes, yes thank you very much!
♬～
looks like musical notes
♬～
Sakurako san! yes
I said you can study music,
but I didn't say you can do it in the office
I'm sorry!
hello! (Momoko) hello!
well? Fue nechan (older sister)? she is making a bath
right, I go and change yep
ah Sakura chan there is a letter from Tokyo
letter? yep
(Saionji) "Dear Sakurako Arimori, in fact Tatsuhiko kun
sent me the piece you composed"
Tatsuhiko san?
"I had a look at it
my honest impression was how much
a self-taught musician achieved
as to composing, without going to school
and I can teach you privately
is is possible for you to come back
to Tokyo and study music again?
Tatsuhiko kun is worried about wasting your talent from bottom of his heart
I feel the same
I still regret you had to
go back to your hometown"
a letter from Saionji asking her to come back to Tokyo
his words unexpectedly and strongly impacted Sakurako's heart
