"Serial TV Story"
I think I'm going to get married soon.
I have a fiancée.
Eh!
Maybe I'll marry an American man!
Eh?!
It's a postcard from Haruki.
Eh?!
Dad, please! Please, it's important to me!
I'll do anything else.
Eh?
"Truth is, I'm thinking of coming home during my next break."
"Haruki-niisan would be returning home on his next break."
"And then he wrote, 'I'll be bringing along a friend, so take care of him.'"
"That 'friend'..."
"...in truth he was..."

Paying attention?
The importance of the China Incident is such...
...that our country's destiny has been staked on it.
However, the national campaign to mobilize the nation's states...
...must also be addressed.
Serious, isn't it?
And, for the sake of the mobilization...
...the most important thing for us is life on the home front.
The educational goal of our school...
...is to create as many virtuous housewives as we can.
Such women are boring, aren't they?
All of you must make your greatest effort...
...not to neglect your daily training in the battlefield of the home!
Pulling the thread too much is pointless.
Your stitches mustn't get too large.
Your brother is coming home?
Yes. My oldest brother in Matsumoto.
I see...
Is that why you are in such a good mood, Yoko-san?
Eh? Really?
It's been forever since our family was complete.
Besides, I adore my Haruki-niisan.
He's fantastic.
- Ala. Is that right? - Yeah.
Say, say. Speaking of Matsumoto.
What about it?
What are you going to do about that onion-head guy?
Geez!
At long last I had forgotten about him and you bring him up again. Geez!
Sudo-san, even in the best of times you are poor at sewing,
so may I suggest you end your chattering?
How could anyone wear this?
Ah!
I'm sorry.
In comparison, yours is like Heaven, Soma-san.
Thank you very much.
Tsutsui-san, what on earth is that?
Ala? You don't know, Sensei?
This is what's called the Julian Salomon look.
It's the latest popular style.
That looks good on you.
Yeah. It's really beautiful!
Thanks.
Whether it looks good on you or doesn't isn't what I am talking about!
I didn't ask for a monkey imitation! (sarumane)
It's not a monkey imitation. (sarumane)
It's a Salomon, Sensei.
Whichever doesn't matter!
What I asked you to create was a lined kimono!
Remake it!
Okaay...
"I wished I was as cool as Ikuko."
"However, the time was drawing near when, for people like Ikuko..."
"...it would become extremely difficult for them to live in."
"It may be Machiko was having the same thoughts as she watched Ikuko."
"She had a very grown up look that concealed a somewhat melancholic side..."
"Compared to her, I was but a child."
Tsuki no sabaku wo harubaruto To the Desert Moon, far away
Tabi no rakuda ga yukimashita We journeyed by camels
Kin to gin to no With gold and silver in...
Yoko-chan!
Come here a minute!
Yes!
Whaa! Looks delicious!
Haruki-niisan is returning today with a friend of his.
Is that right? That's good news.
Eat lots of them then.
Thank you.
Will you tell me how to make this next time?
Not only cooked foods, but lots of other types as well.
Sure, of course I will.
In that case, come be a bride here in our home.
Eh!?
No way!
Thank you! Bye!
See you.
Ah, Takeo-kun, I'm taking some cooked food. So long.
Oh! So long!
You haven't got a chance with her.
Give it up, Takeo.
Wha... what are you saying, Ma?
Oi?
"At any rate, the only thing on my mind..."
"...was that Haruki-niichan was coming home."
Ah!
I'm home!
Welcome back.
Brother's not back yet?
Not yet.
Ah, don't do that!
I went to a lot of trouble to clean up, so don't make a mess!
What is this; you're so noisy!
It's not like a guest is coming or anything.
He wrote he's bringing a friend, didn't he?
That's right.
Shige-niichan, start the fire for the bath.
Yeah.
Got that?
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
I get it already. I'll do it!
I didn't say anything though.
Ahh... All done!
Ah!
Welcome home!
I'm home.
Ah... welcome back.
Yoko, were you disappointed just now?
Eh?
I'm home, Yoko.
Welcome home!
I met him at the train station.
Really?
It's been awhile since I last saw you, Yoko.
Eh?
Somehow you've turned into a beautiful lady in that time.
Ehh?!
No way. You're still totally a child.
Geez!
Ah, come in, Kawahara!
Excuse my disturbance.
"That was the moment of my First Love."
Ah... Hello.
Welcome.
Well, so you're Yoko of the Sun, huh?
Ah... yes.
Sudo, this is the sister you boast about.
Well, you could say that.
Yoko.
Yes.
Yoko, as long as you stand there, no one can get in...
Ah, excuse me. I'm very sorry. Come in.
Well now, please come in.
I see. Dorm life seems like fun.
Yes. It's all thanks to you. Thank you very much.
It's because Sudo here is an honor-roll student. He's faultless.
Give me a break.
This guy's such the delinquent.
As long as he's in the room, I never get bored.
I see.
Kawahara-kun, what are you going to do after graduating?
Ah, even though this guy's father's a doctor in Kofu,
he's not going to be a doctor.
Oh? And?
Yes.
"Kawahara Koichi" I'm planning to emigrate to Manchuria.
- Oh, Manchuria, huh? - Yes.
My uncle has a job with a newspaper company over there...
...so I thought I would work with him.
Is that right. I'd like to go there, too.
Manchuria, huh?
I wonder if the future of Japan is there?
Yes.
I think that Manchuria, like the states in America...
...will become an ideal state for ethnic groups living together in East Asia.
I want to go there and see it with my own eyes.
I see.
Still, I'm not sure this guy'll even graduate given his terrible grades.
Don't say that.
Sudo's answers are always saving me.
I see, I see.
However, there is one problem with getting the answers from him.
Huh?
It's that they're too perfect.
If I copy them, they turn out so perfect it arouses suspicion.
What's that foolish talk about?
- Yoko. - Eh?
Your skill at making dishes has improved.
Eh? Really?
Yeah, they're delicious.
Yeah, totally delicious!
Thank you very much.
Think so? Is the food at the dorm that awful?
Huh? What do you mean by that?
Ah, but this is delicious.
Yeah, it's good, it's good.
That was given to us by Takeo's mother.
Ah, excuse me for that.
I won't.
You guys are the same as ever.
That's true; they haven't changed.
Isn't it, "as close as ever"?
- Yes. - No!
I envy you. I'm an only child myself.
I see.
If you're okay with them like this, come and visit anytime you'd like.
- "With them like this"? - "With them like this"?
You guys ARE close at times, aren't you?
Ahh... Yoko.
The sake is delicious tonight!
Yes!
Well... listening to the two of you talk...
...it takes me back to my own school days, long ago.
Just how many ages ago was that, Dad?
Hey you, Haruki.
I'm sorry.
- Well Kawahara-kun, eat all you want. - Thank you very much.
"That was a fun night."
"A truly fun night."
