(Touru's laughter)
(Ume) hey you!?
♬～
get Dr. Arai at once! right away! yes!
hurry! yes! hurry up!
(Ume) are you all right? come on!
(Sakurako) Togo san...
Togo san? Togo san!
♬～
(crow)
(Togo) nothing serious
I was thinking about Touru and painting
I wasn't myself
we must keep it secret from Fueko
but you can't go on like this forever
if you can't tell onechan (older sister), stop working at the factory
no, I can't do that
I can't sell my paintings how can we have food on the table?
I must provide good food for Fueko and Kazuko
♬～
(Fueko) what happened!?
I fell on the stairs
that looks much more serious than that!
I was just carrying a painting
and I protected the painting
you are not alone
you are also a father of Touru and Kazuko so please be careful!
yep, I'll be careful
♬～
(cicadas)
Fue nechan (older sister) believes Togo san is working on a commissioned portrait
and never doubted about it (Momoko) I see
I don't know what to do any more
I wonder if it's better for
two of them to keep my mouth shut
leave them alone
each married couple is different
even it became distorted, they would cope
I'm not sure... yep...
I tried too hard, it didn't work out...
I didn't like him enough
but I think Togo san and Fue nechan (older sister) will be fine
well, what do you think, Sakura chan?
I've got to go back to work
yep
(Fueko) really stiff (Togo) I see
thanks for the hard work
not at all you are the one who works so hard
(Fueko) you are absolutely right!
I never thought I had to work this hard
after we got married
it's a well‐earned punishment!
I tell you having no taste for men is not my fault
how irresponsible!
you're a lazy-bones, reckless, show off
and disappear once in a while!
(Togo) you can call me names so easily!
it's my turn to disappear!
ouch!!! try it!
you'll be back right away worrying about me
say it again!
ouch!!!
♬～
(Yasuji) you are so kind, Momoko san
you are so kind to treat
a low fellow who stole rice
you are an angel that's too much
I just never know my own mind not at all
it's so nice to be humble!
(boy) are you a painter, Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka?
yes, I am impressed you know me
the artist Yasuji Hanaoka! here he is!
♬～
(boy) at art exhibition in Ginza
are you the one who painted treating our military man with derision!?
unforgivable! shame on you! betrayer of the country!
hey, wait a minute! I am not a betrayer of the country!
look at this! picture story cards
how about that?
the placement of the sun flag on zero fighter plane is incorrect!
that’s terrible! what the hell did you say?
you said my pictures were terrible!
ouch!
stop it! no violence!
stop it! I told you to stop!
Momoko san!
♬～
salute Imperial Palace!
stop bullying the weak!
hold on!
what happened!?
would you bring a first‐aid kit?
about the exhibition the other day, many children attacked him
are you all right, Yasujio san?
I am ashamed of myself...
!
Momoko san you don't like a man like me, do you?
why is it?
I'm not much of a man, not strong
create surreal images when it's fashion war paintings when it's fashion
even picture story cards
I get not only the supply of paints
but also
hoping I wouldn't be drafted to the army...
I'm doing anything to survive!
♬～
to survive is an important thing, isn't it?
♬～
it is the most important thing Momoko san...
(Saionji) hello
is Miss Sakurako Arimori home? yes!
professor Saionji!
before leaving for Manchuria, I found these scores no longer in use
I thought I'd give these to you, Miss Arimori
please come in
this is good
Akiyama kun!
Akiyama kun! wait!
what's wrong? we finally met
whenever you see me, you always run away!
(Akiyama) I am ashamed of myself
I sold my musical instrument, homeless and was reduced to a thief
I dare not show my face to you, sir
(Saionji) I leave for Manchuria the day after tomorrow
the reason you became poor is
you could only live as a jazz man
nothing to be ashamed of
Akiyama kun, Miss Arimori I feel I've done something wrong to you
♬～
I'm wondering if it was good or not to lead you into music
I never imagined the time like this would come ever
I'm not going to mainland (China) because I want to
it doesn’t mean I can pursue my own music there
the same here
I didn't want to do popular music of the day or military one
♬～
(Saionji) the war will be over someday
till then, please don't give up the hope
♬～
♬～(jazz)
professor... no jazz please
cops will come again!
I may come down in the world, but still Kimimaro Saionji
playing a piece of jazz or two
will not disturb you!
Sakurako kun, let's play together yes!
♬～(jazz)
Kazuko, Touru you two like jazz as well?
!
♬～(jazz)
(Masa) a few days later
(Akiyama) hi!
Mr. Akiyama
I return the score I borrowed from you
and this is my return
return? here!
this much...
the music you wrote I went to sell it to an acquaintance
then it was sold!
really!? yes!
so this is your money use it for the baby's eyes
thank you very much
!

(Fueko) Yasuji san and Momo chan seem to be pretty close, don't they?
good, I like it I think it's cute
no! not Yasuji san
first Mr. Kawahara and this time
she has no luck in men at all!
(Momoko) don't worry about me
I had enough with a marriage
I have no intention to date or marry anyone any more
I intend to stay single for the rest of my life
but you two I have an important thing to tell you
tomorrow?
(Momoko) the one I mentioned the other day an eye specialist Dr. Takamine
will come to our hospital tomorrow
he said "bring Touru chan"
♬～
it is scaring to find out...
it'll be all right, onechan (older sister)
Touru chan smiles often recently
he must be seeing things
♬～
Touru chan's future depends on this
♬～
Touru's future... that's right
♬～
at last tomorrow, Touru will have his eyes examined
the result will decide his future
to think about it Fueko and Sakurako were feeling scared
