(Sachi) this is fatsia (Momoko, Hiroki) yep
(Sachi) this is rhododendron yep
this is barroom plant right this is azalea
(Momoko, Hiroki) wow, well done (laughter)
(Togo) they look as if they've been family for years
(Fueko) Momo chan devotes herself for the patients so much
no matter what a man in general
wants his wife to devote herself for him after the marriage after all
can you put up with it, Mr. Suzumura?
no matter how busy Momoko san's work is
and her housework isn't perfect
I have no intention of complaining
I lost my family during the air raids
Momoko san encouraged me to live
and that's me now
we overcame the situation together
I think that's what connected us
♬～
Fue nechan (older sister) please allow us
don't worry I'll be happy
♬～
Momo chan
you are the one who makes the final decision after all
all I can do is to look after and worry about you
and pray for your happiness
♬～
Mr. Suzumura please take care of Momoko
♬～
thank you very much
thanks

(Masa) on that day at the Arimori family
the humble celebration party was held
it was a very simple one
but for Momoko and family
it was really a happy event
(Tokujiro) ♬
(Yasuji) ♬ "the wind is spring wind"
and at the end of the party

(post person) Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka
are you there? what?
are you Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka? yes
here is mail thank you
(Sakurako) what is it? it came at last
aye?
a draft
I wish you good luck!
well, well, no!
hey, what? why are you all look depressed all of the sudden?
don't worry!
even I got a red (draft) paper
the day I join the military
if I drink 1 shou (old Japanese measurement = 1800 cc) of soy sauce
I heard I won't pass the examination
and if I put so much mustard on my ass
it will cause a terrible haemoid
I heard I'd be sent back home
as I couldn't take it in a trench
don't worry there are so many ways
plenty
damn I don't want to die
well, anyway it can't be helped!
if I have to go, I'll go Togo, hey!
sing "cat is cat" okay?
(Yasuji)♬ "cat is cat"
be quiet you talk too much
Togo you live long and paint
I've always been jealous of your talent
after a while, I felt ridiculous to be jealous
and I was only impressed
and I was proud of you at the end
as I received the red paper so I can't keep calm
but I am so glad I got it instead of you
♬～
keep on painting... live...
live for me
keep on painting
♬～
(cry)
don't die
♬～
don't die (cry)
idiot I don't want to be held by you
what are you doing?
if I was to be held I'd rather be by Momoko san
ha!
it's a lie, a lie
I've been always infatuated with her, so
I was kidding
Yasuji san...
please come back alive
thanks...
I have no regret thank you very much
♬～
next day, Yasuji and Momoko's family left for Tokyo
♬～
Togo san...?
I'm going to stay in this room from today
I'll paint as much as I like here in the room where Yasuji stayed
♬～
since then Togo stayed in the room and started to paint
kept on painting without eating much
♬～
(Fueko) "I go to a leader of neighbourhood association
take the rice balls to Togo"
Togo san please eat something
please eat these, otherwise I won't leave this room
Sakura chan do you know Kaita Murayama?
he is a painter who died from T.B. at the age of 22
he wrote a poem
"My God will of God we pray alone
God, please let me spend the night
as my body and mind tonight
please let me live as I am all day tomorrow
please let me keep on working on unfinished paining"
I'm beginning to understand the meaning of this poem now
even Yasuji got the red paper
who knows when I get it?
well, before that they might drop a big bomb and destroy the whole city
don't say a scary thing like that!
I am not afraid of dying any more
but afraid of not being able to paint after death
♬～
I am afraid of you dying, Togo san
♬～
when I was trapped under the rubble
you told me to live, Sakura chan
so I'm still alive now
♬～
but at that time as I saw your face, Sakura chan
I thought I didn't mind dying once
♬～
there was no sound or light in the world
I was floating with Sakura chan alone in the dark night sky
then I felt as good as it was
I left my body behind and we two became spirits
and I flew in the sky with Sakura chan forever...
that wasn't too bad!
♬～
you must live, Togo san
you have Kazu chan, Touru chan and Fue nechan (older sister)
right I must try my best
♬～
I'll eat
♬～
Sakurako and Togo the time they could spend together
was getting towards the end little by little
