(Togo) thanks
(Sakurako) what's going on, being pursued by someone?
I've been having an incredible hard time
(Momoko) incredible hard time?
I've been forced to work day and night kept close watch on
by the housekeeper the Fueko hired
except while I am eating and in the toilet
I've been forced to sit in front of the painting
it is a forced labour worse than cattle
how did you end up like that?
because Fueko takes orders one after another
the art dealers come over
and wait for me to finish a painting all day
while they are talking and playing mah‐jongg with Fueko
mah‐jongg... onechan (older sister) plays it too?
well, Mrs. if I win , can I get the master's painting
first? (Fueko) I'll think about it
I try my best
ah, I won
ah! well done!
well done, Mrs
being a wife of a genius painter, you are as good
Fueko loves these people who come to buy my paintings
those who say I am the best in Japan
a genius of a century
and say it was his wife Fueko who made it possible
they say she is "beautiful" and "smart"
and she believed their lies
that stupid wife!

is this okay? yep
I can feel peace in a place like this
after all I felt relieved the war was over
to me I am in the war now
don't you have to contact onechan (older sister)?
please don't ever contact her
she thinks
I am some sort of printer
I'll be dead under her thumb now
(Hiro) welcome
(Hiro) Tatsuhiko kun? wow!
(Tatsuhiko) Hiro san sorry for not coming here earlier
that's exactly right
I wanted to see you! I really wanted to see you!
thank goodness you are safe
ah, right I have coffee
the real coffee drink it? drink it!
just sit down I'll make one
nothing has changed
can I play a record? yep
♬～(record)
this is the first time (Hiro) aye?
to listen to music after discharged from military service
(Hiro) how is it? that reminds me of past
♬～
after coming back, I feel everything is far away
including music, people's voices
and me who play the piano here with Arimori
♬～
here you are thanks
♬～
Sakura chan is playing the piano with Mr. Akiyama's band
for the Occupation Army in a club in Nagoya
is that right? well
why don't you go there? I've already got a pass
♬～
hello (Hiro) welcome
Tatsuhiko san... you are here you are here to see Hiro san
thank goodness well, sit down
I was just inviting him to go to your performance
in Nagoya, Sakurako chan
you don't have to come, if you don't want to
the audience are mostly American soldiers
you don't want to see people in military uniforms, do you? I'll think about it
♬～
hello
well, you are drawing after all
drawing for my pleasure is totally different
from being forced
shall I make some tea?
Togo san Tatsuhiko san is back
that's right
is that right? yep
good to hear
♬～
yep
getting married?
I hope so, but I'm not sure
Tatsuhiko san is just back war
and still suffering from many things I see
♬～
I'm going to play the piano at the club for the Occupation Army
Mr. Akiyama invited me to join the band that's great
it was worth pursuing your music
that's right
you want Tatsuhiko kun to hear it, don't you?
but I don't think he will come
why not?
I played jazz in front of Tatsuhiko san once
and he said "he doesn't want to hear that kind of music"
it's hard for him to listen to cheerful music
but I'll be waiting for him
till Tatsuhiko san really wants to listen to music
I believe that day will come
and I hope I can brighten up
Tatsuhiko san's heart with my piano
yep
♬～
wow! it's beautiful
"Sakura chan it'll be your stage debut once in a lifetime
I'll listen to your piano from Tokyo, Sakura chan
from aunt Iso" (laughter)
try to put it yep
that suits you
I must do my best not to be over powered by the dress
hello yes
well... I am Yoshida from Uguisu art gallery in Ginza (Tokyo)
Mr. Togo Sugi is here, isn't he? ah, no
ah, coat he must be here
he is not here tha's my husband's
but that coast must be Mr. Sugi's
please leave! please leave!
