(Sakurako) 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"
(Fueko) it is scaring to find out...
it'll be all right, onechan (older sister)
Touru chan smiles often recently
he must be seeing things
(Masa) next day, at last
Toru is to have his eyes examined by the well-known specialist
onechan (older sister)
♬～
onechan (older sister) the doctor is here come in
♬～
(Touru's laughter)

(Ume) don't rest too much
go back to work at once! (Togo) yes
what's that strange song? are you serious?
when I sing a song, I feel better and gives me energy
care to join me? ♬ "I'm a cat"
♬ "you say"
hello hello
how was it? the result of Touru's test
he said retinal cells die little by little
most people become blind by adult
they don't know the cause or how to
prevent it there is no medicine or treatment...
I see...
most go blind?
♬～
I'm sorry
I'm really sorry
your paintings... his father's paintings
he won't be able to see them when he becomes adult
I can't regret enough...
poor child...
Fueko you don't understand anything "Honzunasu" (Tsugaru dialect)
(Fueko) "Honzunasu?" big idiot
♬～
Touru was lucky to be born with eye disease
because he won't be drafted to the army when he grows up
just eyes and everything else is fine
he must be so lucky to be born like that don't you think so?
♬～
do you really think so?
yes, I do

good boy good and beautiful boy

you remember it (Akiyama) it's a nice one
I felt rotten
jazz was prohibited, so no income
we fought over small jobs amoung ourselves
I wasn't particularly trying to achieve anything special
I'm inflexible, so I went hungry
but after seeing you, you cheered me up
you bought back the musical instrument, didn't you?
yep I borrowed money from an acquaintance at the radio station
how was it? the baby's eye exam?
I see...
see you Mr. Akiyama
will you teach me jazz?
my father used to say "jazz has a power to lift up people's spirit"
I want to study jazz properly
and teach it to my older sister’s child
even you go blind, you can enjoy music
I see
I don't think he will go blind
you don't give up hope, right? yes
♬～
hello I'm from a neighborhood association
ah... group leader san, hello
what I heard from here was
a forbidden music, wasn’t it?
I am sorry
you seemed to have had a big party with many people the other day
with piano and trumpet what are you thinking at the time like this!?
that's enough I am sorry
I am really sorry!
what's the matter? ah, Momo nechan (older sister)...
no, nothing come in
no, this is fine I'm on my way to work
okay
maybe I shouldn't have done about Touru chan
I'm worried about that no, not at all
I think it was good to know
did you talk to Togo san after that?
Togo san said
he is just happy as long as he is alive
Fue nechan (older sister) was crying though she didn't cry after talking to the doctor
or she came home
after that she was fine and became cheerful
I see...
nice to be a married couple
ture... but Togo san is working at the factory
in secret from onechan (older sister), isn't he? yep
it might be the time to tell her
♬～
♬～(humming)
onechan (older sister) I need to talk to you
what is it?
about Togo what about Togo?
Togo san... he left home saying he was going to paint at a mansion
in Hongou today, didn't he?
that's right what about that?
that is not correct in fact
Togo san... he works at casting factory in Fukagawa
that was the job I introduced, but Togo san
said he wanted to work "keeping it secret from you"
♬～
onechan (older sister)...
onechan (older sister) sorry
where is the factory?
♬～
tell me where is the factory?
♬～
why are you working in a place like this?
why!?
what for...
I worked so hard till now!?
why do you think I let the kids tolerate things!?
it wasn't to make you do a thing like this!
onechan (older sister) stop it!
♬～
don't blame, Togo san...
