101st Marriage Proposal The Second Movement
This is a ticket to my concert on Friday, if you're free.
Yes, I'll be coming to see you.
Please come to listen to us.
Yes, I'll be coming to...
listen to you.
Well, then...
Yes.
Then...
See you.
What's wrong with you?
With that kind of old man?
Those words...
Those are the same words...
he used to propose to me.
So?
Can you believe it?
There is a person who used
the exact same words.
Someone probably told him.
Nobody knows about it.
Did you see the movie, Ghost?
Yeah.
Maybe he's a...
reincarnation of him.
Huh?
It's strange...
I felt he sounded exactly the same.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
Chie, you have to hear this.
What do you think of this story?
Say...
Hoshino-san, my Omiai-date...
Can you believe it?
He said the same words as his.
So he said it, after all.
Naoto says...
he probably heard it from someone.
But nobody knows about those words...
After all?
After all...
Chie?
Look at me!
You didn't...
Ah...well...
Makabe-san...
I once asked him what he told you exactly.
I told him.
She turned you down on the phone.
Yes she did.
She turned me down.
But she gave you that ticket.
In spite of that, she gave me the ticket.
She might have called the police and you go down.
That's right. All my life, I always go down...
No good.
I can't solve this puzzle.
...now wait a sec...
You said you proposed?
Yes. I did,
I did my 100th proposal with all of my heart.
That's it, then.
Yes, that must be it...
I think I got it now.
Probably that's the answer.
What did you say to her?
That's a secret.
Don't hide it.
Her sister gave me an advice.
Really?
I don't know what those words mean to her, though.
In any case,
As long as you have that ticket, right there...
That's right!
The ticket means I have a chance.
That's more than that.
You already proposed to her.
This is your one-way ticket to marriage!
Yes. That must be true.
This is my one-way ticket.
Yes!
Now I have to worry about my way back home!
No!
Then you'll be back where you started.
Back to...
Then, what should I do, I am asking you!
You and her are like oil and water!
Water and Oil means I can shake hard to use it.
What are you saying?!
That's not the point!
Then, what should I do? I've been asking you...
First, that concert...
Right. The concert is a key.
How do you like classical music?
Not good.
It's like a sleeping pill to me.
I knew that.
You'll need a lot of practice.
I'll do anything.
Go for it.
That's enough.
Love is over...
This will probably my last lover.
You are making me...
You saw him again?
Briefly, I felt...
...sorry for him.
But it's the rules in an "Omiai".
But...
Why did you tell something so important to such a man?!
That explains everything.
Reincarnation?
I can't forgive him.
I turned him down once.
He comes back and takes advantage of my emotions.
But, sis... Hoshino-san...
I wont forgive him.
He looks innocent, alright.
Sis, what about dinner?
I don't want any!
Don't get so upset.
I have reason to be.
But, what was Chie thinking?
It's that man's fault!
How old is he?!
He should know the difference between right and wrong.
That's a problem though.
What?
You asked your Omiai-date to come to your concert.
Anyone would conclude that you're interested in him.
Nothing.
I'm not interested.
What I have is anger, that's all.
To tell you the truth,
I was hoping you'd date him if he was a nice person.
Makabe-san is gone, you know.
You'll never find another love like this.
You're just afraid of getting involved, Kaoru.
That's not it.
I'm just afraid of...
...forgetting him.
So what's he like?
eh?
I'm curious...
See for yourself...
Maybe I will.
Can I sit here?
Sure!
Thank you for making us dinner the other day.
Don't mention it.
Dinner for you?!
Yeah, but that's...
I'm sorry for your failed Omiai.
No worry.
She doesn't know what she's missing.
Well...actually...
She invited me to her concert.
eh?!
Then, what it means is...
I guess...I should say...
The sun always rises!
Congratulations.
May I come over tonight?
Sure.
Let's celebrate.
That would be nice.
This is great. I'm happy.
Let's dig in!
"Pekky, the woodpecker"
Did you draw this?
Yes.
"Pekky, the woodpecker"
The woodpecker who always thinks of his life seriously...
I based the character on my brother.
I'll give you some credit.
Give me more credit.
Just a little. Only a little.
Do you have a boyfriend?
It's none of your business.
Probably not...
I do!
Unlike you, he's a matured adult!
Everyone's taste is different, huh?
He plays the violin.
An Anime Freak is no comparison to him!
I'm not an Anime Freak!
Who cares?
I'm sorry about yelling at you the other day.
Why are you bringing that up?
eh...er....
I heard you gave my brother some advice.
Sort of...
He's really excited that it might work out.
He's really serious.
He is copying Takahanada's Sumo Oshi-Push Technique.
"Love is over", he sung.
Love is over?
This will probably be my last love.
He sung like this.
I told you, didn't I?
Someone had told him.
I didn't think Chie knew about it.
Oh!
What's wrong, Chie?
I brought you something.
Don't worry.
I just gave him a concert ticket. That means nothing.
It doesn't seem that way.
It seems he's really excited about it.
eh?
He's on cloud 9 now.
I didn't know this would happen.
I'm sorry.
Just tell him again.
"Love is over." he feels.
What?
His last love.
Last love?
Me?
That's pretty terrifying.
It's not funny.
Sorry.
What's wrong?
I'm really getting angry now.
I'm sorry.
Not you, but about that man!
He took advantage of my feelings.
And now he's all excited about this!
Last love?
Another weirdo showed up.
How are you doing, everyone?
Oh? You are here?
Of course. I'd never miss a concert of yours.
By the way, what are your plans for tonight?
Nothing in particular.
I'm having a little party at my house.
You're invited.
Mr. Cliver, the Sachsel Philharmonic will be there.
I'll be there.
Really?
Kaoru!
May I bring my friend along?
Of course, I'll see you later.
What are you up to?
I'll bring Hoshino-san along.
That's great.
What is?
It's not a casual party, digging Sukiyaki Pot.
That old man, no matter how I slice him, he is deep into Enka Music.
He's sure to embarrass himself there.
Sis, Hoshino-san doesn't know the real meanings of....
Enough with the worrying already, Chie.
You fell for a middle-aged man's wise trick.
You're just feeling sorry for him.
1211
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Bag... Sorry.
I see...
Huh?
Good work, everyone!
May I have a moment of your time?
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
Excuse me, coming through...
Kaoru-san
Yabuki-san!
Kaoru-san!
This way, please.
Yes.
Well...
Where are we going?
To a small party.
A party?
It's nothing formal.
The concert was marvelous.
Thank you.
Your cello was like...
the Fish Bargain of Germany...
That's Fitzenhaugen.
Sorry...
You have so many fans.
They're all ugly, aren't they?
You're mean.
But none of them know what Naoto is really like.
They'd be disappointed.
But I know what you're like.
Aah!
You knew it all along.
Why didn't you tell me instead of that old man?
Don't you want me as your brother?
Because Naoto was turned down already.
I won't give up so easily.
Do you love my sis that much?
Yes.
Who is that man standing at the door?
Did he have an arranged date with you?
Yes.
What?
He's asking if you were my Omiai-date.
He proposed me.
Really? Is that the truth?
Are you really wealthy?
What did he say?
Are you wealthy?
No, no, no. no. no.
Do you play any type of instrument?
What?
Do you play an instrument?
No, no. no.
Are you really going to marry...
him?
I got that.
If you are planning to marry me...
No!
Good.
Of course not!
You're not suitable for her financially and musically.
I'm sorry to say this but physically, either.
You think too highly of me.
Why did you bring him?
I gave him a ticket
And he seems to have gotten the wrong idea.
I had to bring him reluctantly.
You're very cruel.
Uhm, sorry,...
but I have... other engagement for tonight.
You left this behind.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'd better leave now.
Why?
We finally got rid of the nuisance.
I don't think I fit in, either.
You're very out-going.
Am I being a bother to you?
No I enjoy your company.
But don't you have a boyfriend?
No. I'm not very popular.
You're pulling my leg.
I did confess my love in Junior High,
but he didn't take me seriously.
What kind of guy?
My friends said he looked like Oono-kuni, the Sumo Wrestler.
He wasn't the guy for you.
Since then I've gone to an all-girls school.
That's good.
No it isn't!
I wish I were born a man... Being a girl is no fun.
I'm glad you were born a woman.
Huh?
Nothing.
We have to make up for the last time and celebrate.
Kakaricho is somewhat cute and cuddly.
You don't have to use my brother as an excuse.
In your next life, if you're born a man,
I'll be born a woman without fail.
eh?
Ow...Ow
Sorry.
Ow...Ow...
Take it off quickly.
Ow...Ow...Ow...
Brother...
Welcome back.
Why don't you do those things in your room?
What?
What...why?
Excuse me, but...
Did something happen?
What do these flowers tell you?
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Welcome back!
So you were here.
Hey, hey!
eh?
I saw your Omiai-date today.
He looks like a stuffed bear.
Sis, did you tell Hoshino-san...
I clearly turned him down in front of everyone.
He didn't seem like a bad person...
He used my precious memory to get my attention.
I got very angry.
Sis, Hoshino-san doesn't know the words are special to you.
eh?
Nor does he know about Makabe-san.
I thought you told him?
I didn't tell him everything.
I just thought hearing those words
might make you happy.
And as expected...
you became happy, right?
I feel bad for Hoshino-san.
He was turned down by the same woman twice.
She turned you down again?
She's not the only woman.
I'll never ever...
...meet anyone as beautiful....
Was it love at first sight?
When I see her...
I can't help shedding tears.
Love is over...
Though it is sad...
I must end this love...
Otherwise there is no end...
Sis...
I'm Sorry, Really I Am...
I just saw how much fun you had with him over Omiai.
I like seeing you laugh.
Do you have time tomorrow?
Want to go shopping?
Sorry, but I have to go to the cemetery.
Makabe-san's...
It's the 3rd year since his death.
Yes.
I see...
I'm going to bed.
Don't drink too much.
Good night.
Good night!
Three years already...
Chopin's Douze études, "Farewell Song"
Who could that be?
Hello. Yabuki residence.
Because of my misunderstanding...
I hurt your brother.
I'm sorry.
Three years ago?
On the very day of your wedding...
He overslept.
He was speeding.
You can laugh, can't you?
I was angry at first.
I know all about my brother.
Ups and downs... he's not a laundry pole.
To be honest,
I thought you were a terrible woman.
I might be rude to ask this question.
Can't you forget him?
That's not you... going with my brother...
Will you ever again...
How about you?
What if you loved a girl,
and she loved you...
I can't imagine...
True...
In life....
Unimaginable things do happen.
Good things...
...and bad things.
Are you really going to see my brother again?
You came here to ask me that, right?
Yes...sort of...
He is totally downhearted.
He hasn't eaten anything.
One thing...
If you could...
I'll find a way to turn him down nicely.
Thank you.
With that face, he is actually very sensitive.
You're a very caring brother.
We only have each other.
Thank you for bringing me here.
I think I'll catch a taxi home.
I see.
I'll be going then.
Kakaricho...
You have a guest.
I put you through so much.
That's OK.
I'm very sorry.
My life is this way.
Every time I get my hopes up,
I'm disappointed twice as much.
Ever since I was a child.
It's been this way in love relationships.
You're being pessimistic!
You know...something like...for example...
Have you tried writing love letters?
Women like that very much.
I did once.
You've been doing the right thing.
The day after it was posted on the blackboard.
Those sad and painful experiences in my childhood...
have made me into giving up anything and everything in life later.
You did go to see my sister again.
I regret it now...
Don't tell anyone.
I...
forever and ever...
won't marry in life.
Maybe.
Probably...
I'm almost certain.
Never, ever...
Nice weather, isn't it?
Not at all!
Not at all. Yes!
I was very tense after my concert...
And I was rude.
No. Not a bit.
I'm not that small to care about tension.
I'd like to see you again so I can apologize.
Yes. I understand.
Well...I just got my bonus.
Something you like....
I will treat you.
Well then....
How about Friday night?
Please, please hold on!
Please hold on.
Friday night, right?
Friday night. Friday! Yes!
At a place called "Etude".
Etude
Etude, Correct?
Yes.
Etude. Yes!
Well...
Good night.
Good night!
Sis!
Why are you promising to see him again?
Because I misjudged him.
You should just apologize over the phone!
You shouldn't hurt...
I saw his younger brother.
He said he was so upset he couldn't eat.
He did seem that way.
eh?
Ahh...I must be careful.
He gave me a motorbike ride to the cemetery.
You told him about Makabe-san?
Yes, I told him.
So?
Now he knows why it wouldn't work out.
He sympathized with me.
Hoshino-san will understand, too
when his brother tells him about Makabe-san.
I see...
Sis, in your case,
Nobody is good enough for you at this point.
So I'll apologize to him and try to cheer him up.
He is my first and last Omiai-date, after all.
Brother?
eh?
Didn't she hang up?
That's right. The line was cut off...
Junpei-chan...
eh?
Did you hear that?
Yes.
You're seeing her again.
Yeah.
Don’t sound so blasé. I know what you’re thinking
Are you jealous because I'm dating a beautiful lady?
You were the one pouting yesterday.
I'm hungry.
Where's my food?
You said you didn't have an appetite.
When you are hungry, you know...
You can't fight love.
Give me some!
Give me some.
What's the matter?
Brother...
I'm glad you're feeling better...
but she just wants to apologize.
In fact, she has a past...
What's wrong?
Junpei...
eh?
Don't tell anyone.
What?
But I might...
...get married.
Really...
I'm glad I'm alive.
Please.
Thanks.
Can I get you a drink?
Shochu mixed with hot water, please.
Huh?
Just joking.
I want that one. You know that blue drink with a toothpick in it...
A Dry Martini, with an olive.
Yes, that's it.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Not at all.
I never knew waiting could be so enjoyable.
Maybe I shouldn't have come.
Then I would've been happy all day while I waited.
Good evening.
Martini, please.
We have the same taste.
You and me...
Excuse me...
I'm really sorry about the other day.
No, not at all.
You must've thought I was a terrible woman.
Of course not!
But...
But?
Well...
I'm wondering what the significance of those words are.
Those words your sister told me.
Didn't your brother tell you?
Junpei?
It doesn't matter any more...anyway...
I'm just happy I was able to see you again.
That's what's important.
Now, about our future...
Our future?
Yes!
Since we've met again, this is an indication that
we're both interested in moving towards marriage.
Maybe that's too demanding of me.
We should just let things take its course.
That's not important, right now, I guess.
As I said on the phone...
...I just got my bonus. So I feel rich now.
Who cares, right?
If we do get married,
we won't exactly be wealthy...
but we'll never be poor in eating...
That wedding dress is nice, too.
Try them all on.
No.
I won't show you until our wedding day.
Why not?
I'll show you at church.
I better not be late.
Of course.
Is something the matter?
I'm not good at carrying the conversation
I'm sorry. I've been talking different issues.
This is a beautiful song.
You got your bonus?
Yes.
Pardon my asking, but how much did you get?
My company is cheap
but since I've been working long.
I got exactly 823,942 Yen after tax.
Spend it all...
...On a horse race.
I don't bet on a horse race.
I don't like gambling, either
I like a guy who can gamble sometimes.
That's correct.
You are right, but in fact, I...
But I have a mortgage payment on my condo.
That's too bad.
I guess we weren't meant to be.
Excuse me.
How about betting half of it?
I guess not...
I couldn't show him my wedding gowns.
Shibuya?
Yes?
How old are you?
25. I was born in the year of the Horse.
What's your favorite food?
Umani (Savory Food) Uma=Horse
Kakaricho,
What are we going to do about the hoses? "hose" sounds "horse" in Japanese.
Horses-the year of the horse
Umani...sound of Horse
Hose...Sounds similar...
3 Horses in a row....
Telling him to put his bonus on the line... is a good one.
You sure know how to turn him down.
That's not what I meant.
What did you mean?
They were playing that Farewell Song.
What?
Yabuki-san, you have a guest.
Hoshino-san!
I bought it.
What?
I bet my whole bonus!
On horse tickets!!
When? Which race?
I don't know well, but...
The main race, today!
Come with me!
Yes!
Excuse me!
Pardon me, Pardon me.
Pardon me.
Is 1-7 the likely winner?
No, this is my first time.
As the July first is the first day we met.
How could you!
Now the thunderous 5-furlong (1000 meter Race)
It's starting.
I'm nervous. I can't breathe.
Me, too.
Now the gate is open.
Go!
#2 did a slow start...
But it did not make any disturbances to other horses.
Now the front runners are
#1 horse is the front runner, in the center, right now.
#1 Go, Go Go!
Now the remaining 1 furlong... 200 meters
I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd do it.
It's okay.
I know it was your way of turning me down.
Once my bride run away
on the very day of the wedding.
I gave up so easily then.
I was deeply hurt.
Since my childhood...how should I put it...
Giving up has been my habit.
But then on the day of our Omiai,
you scolded me...
That was...
Since that day...
I've even thought about running after my bride
and finding the courage to propose again.
Then and only then, I could...
It was so stupid but I got really excited today.
I felt alive and kicking...
I...
I won't ever fall in love with you.
I don't intend to marry you.
That's fine with me.
You used all your money.
Even in the middle of this hot summer,
Yes, my wallet is cold and empty and dry.
I have to get back to work.
I'll catch the train home.
Well, I'll see you.
Bye.
