Serial TV Story
We...
...have a dream.
It's about a 3 story building in Tokyo's Ginza area.
How about it?
How about making Kiaris' Wonderland here?
"Wonderland"?
A fantasy world. For mothers and children.
Are you done?
Not yet.
Wonderland.
Our dream.
Just thinking about it makes our hearts race, doesn't it?
On the first floor, we'll have children's clothing up front and baby clothing in back.
The second floor will be the Miscellaneous Goods department...
We'll permanently station the Counselor here.
How about if I wore a card that reads, "Ask me anything about childcare"?
That way it'd make it easy to talk to you, wouldn't it?
The third floor will be the playground.
We want to put out a ton of toys for them, don't we?
Here we'll have a space where bentos and baby food can be eaten.
We'll also set out a lot of baby chairs...
And mothers will be able to talk to each other there, won't they?
They could spend the entire day there.
They can also come to Kiaris and do their shopping.
Their children could play.
They could have consultations.
They could make friends, too.
All of them could share in the child rearing.
It'll be fun, won't it? Like a real Wonderland!

What's it like, coming back to work again?
Ah... There's lots for me to do...
...and the day goes by in a blink of an eye, but I enjoy it.
It's very fulfilling.
Many Japanese men are shy types.
"There's no need to feel shy."
Telling them that will be an important part of your work.
Well, I do want to open up a vent in these bad times somehow.
Men's Fashion - Challenge to the Future
We're betting you can do that.
We have great expectations... of Men's Orion.
Yes!
Iwase-san's "Lessons in Men's Wear" the other day...
...was a huge success, wasn't it?
Thanks to you.
Right after that, Eisuke was flooded with requests to give lectures.
The phone's been ringing off the hook every day from magazines requesting interviews.
Ah, is that right? That's terrific, isn't it?
Kimi-chan, you've worked hard.
Ah... we're here.
Ai-chan. Grandma's come...
How was that building in Ginza?
It's a wonderful building.
It's a bit old, but charming. Here Sakura, some gifts.
Thank you.
And then...
...um, it has two elevators!
That way it will be safe even if mothers come with baby carriages.
Right, Ai-chan?
Did you have anything tasty to eat?
All of us ate tempura!
It was delicious, wasn't it?
The smelt was soft...
...and the kakiage tempura was large and fluffy... Right, Ai-chan?
(mixed vegetable and seafood tempura)
And the shrimp tails were so pink.
The sea eel was soft, too... Right, Ai-chan?
Everything we ate was the tastiest ever.
Both our stomachs and our dreams grew bigger, right Ai-chan?
Ai-chan.
Kiaris Co. Ltd. Ginza Branch Store Plan
Kiaris Co. Ltd.
They all seem quite excited by it...
...but have you considered how you'll get the funds for it?
Well...
Right, huh?
Since we can't read how the economy will go, I wonder if jumping into this would be a good idea?
Still, whenever those four who created Kiaris...
...speak about this, their eyes light up so brightly.
So I feel we should try and do it if we can, somehow...
We'd like to, wouldn't we?
Their dream, huh...
Very well. I'll come over and discuss about borrowing from my bank with you.
Really?
Thank you.
And then a day later...
I've made an estimate for what it would take to open the Ginza branch.
Kiaris Co. Ltd. Ginza Branch Store Opening Estimated Costs
Ah...
Taking Kiaris' assets into consideration...
...I performed a tough investigation, including your likely sales forecasts as well.
The results of that...
...were that it would be tough to get a loan through us...
...and I wasn't even able to get permission to offer you one.
Because of this recession, they have to be strict in their decisions, and so I couldn't press it further...
I'm sorry for not being of any help.
Ah, no. Shoichi-san, please stop that.
That's right. We understand the efforts you made for us.
Well, can't be helped. This is all we can do.
Yes.
Dad.
Ah, thanks.
The two of you... have some coffee, okay?
Thank you.
Any good?
Ah...
I wonder... if I should take this down for now?
I guess.
Let's keep it somewhere safe.
Yeah.
Hello, this is Kiaris.
I was in your employ long ago...
This is Saijo of KADOSHO.
Ah, Saijo-kun.
I'm very sorry for surprising you with this sudden call.
Actually... President Kokado...
...told you a long time ago about wanting to come and give you his greetings...
Eh? Ah...
That the President of KADOSHO is coming...
...makes us nervous, doesn't it?
What does he want to greet us about?
What could it be?
What's the time?
It's 10:05.
Come.
Excuse me. I've brought him.
Thank you for this when you're so busy.
I am Saijo of KADOSHO.
Ah, hello, hello.
It's been awhile.
Thank you very much for going to the trouble of seeing us.
No, no, no...
Please, have a seat.
Oh! You're doing well, huh?
Yes.
I'll get you some tea.
No, no, that's okay. Don't bother.
Since I don't have much time...
...would it be okay if I got right to the point?
Yes.
It concerns your opening a comprehensive branch store in Ginza.
I heard you were having a cash flow problem and had to give up on it...
Eh? How would he...
Well... it was a rumor in the wind.
My company can provide you with the funds for it.
Eh?
With such a wonderful ambition...
...allow KADOSHO to provide you with all the funds you need...
...to make your dream come true.
Um... Why would you do this?
Please tell us your conditions.
My conditions are...
None!
I have been paying attention to Kiaris for quite some time now.
What I find most fascinating is Kiaris' corporate philosophy.
The one that is based upon the beliefs of all of you.
THAT is my reason for my funding.
Here. Dis is on da house.
What do you think?
He said he's been paying attention to us since long ago, didn't he?
He did say that.
Still, I read this article in a magazine the other day.
It said the reason AIS went bankrupt was because the President of KADOSHO...
...had yanked away the ladder that he himself had raised for AIS.
But that if KADOSHO had helped AIS...
...then KADOSHO would have gone bankrupt, too...
Still, that wasn't fraud, was it?
Yeah.
Whatever else is said, it is a proper trading company, isn't it?
Right. It is a proper trading company.
And what's more...
...it's one of the top five trading companies in Japan.
That's right.
But...
I guess there is that "but," isn't there?
There is a "but," yet...
Yeah... somehow or other...
Ah, they were here.
Welcome.
Ah, Kiyoshi-san.
Good afternoon.
He came to our company.
I wanted to tell you about that building in Ginza.
The Ginza building?
Has something happened to it?
Actually, seems there's someone else who wants to rent it out.
We received an offer from KADOSHO to fund that.
But given what happened with Eisuke-san... Well, frankly, we're worried.
But we don't want to give up on it either, do we?
No, we don't want to give it up.
Me, either.
Or me.
Ah.
Kimi-chan, you've got a gray hair.
Eh? Where?
Right here.
Eh? No way.
No, no. Here, here...
Eh? Is it just the one?
Yeah.
Pull it out.
Eh?
It's okay... go ahead.
Don't move around so much.
Yeah...
Ah, there is one.
Eh...
