(Masa) after Kane's death whom she called mother and forced to resign from "Yamacho"
Sakurako lost everything and hope
it was Togo who gave her the will
to live again with his encouragement to continue her music
the day after Togo went back to Tokyo
Sakurako hears the horribly news on the radio
(radio) "Imperial Headquarters announced" (March 10, 1945 twelve o'clock) between the two forty than the over-o'clock this March 10 zero
apporximary 130 B29 bombers attacked the Imperial capital bombarding a city area B29 about hundred and thirty aircraft
and Mobaku parsley right infestation city in the Imperial City

March 10 an unprecedented the Tokyo air raids
killed some 100,000 people
(Iso) Sakura chan!
did you hear the news? I heard there was terrible air raids in Tokyo
(Tokujiro) are Fueko and others okay?
(Sakurako) I don't know I'll go to Tokyo
are you going there alone? we don't know the situation...
that's why I want to go
I must confirm with my own eyes how Fue nechan (oldder sister),
Momo nechan (oldder sister) and Togo san are
how is Kazuyuki? I must go find out
you're right I'll go with you aye?
Sakura chan, pack up I'll go get the tickets
hey! unless it's official business
they won't issue a ticket but
the trains are extremely crowded now I have an idea
hello
(Nogiyama) young mistress, how have you been? Mr. Nogiyama, I have a favour to ask
can you produce a document "official business to Tokyo?"
I want to find about my family after the air raids
I see...
okay I'll take care of it
(whistle)
at that night
from an official business document Nogiyama issued,
Sakurako and Iso got tickets and headed for Tokyo in an extremely crowded train
excuse me aunt, aunt, are you okay?
Sakura chan! I'm here
(whistle)
(everyone) ah!
aunt, are you okay? yes, Sakura chan
Tokyo was devastated
the situation was far worse than Sakurako and Iso imagined
Marronnier apartment has just survived
ah, it's here ah...excuse me
it's still here
Fue nechan (older sister)! Togo san! Yasuji san are you there?
(Yasuji) Sakura chan, aunt...
welcome! it must have been so difficult to come here
how's Fue nechan (older sister) and her family?
Kazuyuki... san?
well...
aye...
Fue nechan (older sister)
great! you survived!
(Fueko) aunt...
Toru chan and Kazu chan, are you two okay?
well, how about Momo nechan (older sister)?
Momo chan has been at first-aid station
there are injured one after another
she has no time to sleep
I see (Iso ) Kazuyuki...
how about Kazuyuki san?
when we were trying to escape from the air raids, I lost him
I don't know
it's been one whole day since the air raids, hasn't it?
well, how about Togo san?
Togo is...
we escaped together
we were in an air‐raid shelter on the main street at first
then it started to catch fire everywhere and we escaped from there
(scream)
this way!
(Fueko) ah!
(Togo) idiot (Tsugaru dialect)!
leave them! Fueko!
♬～
we were lucky
trying to avoid the fire, I reached here in the end
thank goodness this place isn't burned
but when the fire is everywhere
he said he wanted to do sketching
I tried to stop him
he had no ears
since then, he hasn't been back
I was forced to take care of the corpses
in between that, I looked for him everywhere
but I couldn't find Togo or Kazuyuki kun
above all the situation around here was so horrible that
I was force to see things I didn't want to see...
it's so depressing
♬～
I go look for them
me too let's look for them!
♬～
at that time Momoko was working so hard to treat the injured
who were brought one after another in the remaining building
(Momoko) it'll hurt, but please put up
this will improve just a bit
nurse my younger sister has been saying her eyes hurt
after this I will clean them
you'll feel better soon
excuse me
Momo nechan (older sister)! Momo nechan (older sister)! Sakura chan! What's the matter?
you came from Okazaki? I came here to see Fue nechan (older sister) and her family
did you know Togo san and Kazuhiko san are not back yet?
I had no time to go there
Fue nechan (older sister), Touru chan and Kazu chan are safe?
so is Yasuji san good
if Togo san and Kazuyuki san were carried in here
I want you to let us know
okay
Fue nechan (older sister) is worried sick
okay
Miss Arimori, here bring some camphor yes
(Kazuko) mother I'm hungry I want to eat something
that's right you get hungry
well, there might be something in the kitchen
let's go see it come with me
good
(door open) Togo?
Togo!?
aunt... no good
it's horrible out there it's impossible to find
but at first I looked at dead people's
face one by one
but I couldn't even tell if they are men or women
there are piles of dead bodies at the river bank
and the soldiers are sorting them with rakes
Fue chan what happened to the night the day before yesterday?
what happened to be like that?
oh no Kazuyuki might not make it
aunt...
(cry)
and Sakurako was
wandering around the vast
burnt‐out ruins
Togo san! Togo san!
♬～
ah...
Togo san!?
Togo san...
Togo san! Togo san are you all right?
I'll help you now just wait!
♬～
(Togo) watch out!
go away from here!
Togo san!? hurry!
♬～
look
a terrible situation
♬～
I'm finished...
♬～
I could see Sakura chan's face before I die
must be god's wish
stop it!
you encouraged me to live!
don't say that, coward!
don't die!
♬～
live with me!
I am just
struggling to survive
after Tatsuhiko's death and if you die,
life is not worth living for, Togo san
♬～
I don't want someone I care for to die any more
live for me
♬～
live with me, Togo san!
