I . . .
I decided to go to Manchuria without waiting to graduate.
Together with Ms. Tae.
I . . .
. . . love her.
Please give us your blessing.
Please!

I . . .
I'll give you my support . . . and my blessings.
Yoko!
I'm sorry. I'm just so moved.
Aren't you, Dad?
Oh, I am.
Is that okay with you?
I'll . . . go anywhere if it's with Mr. Kawahara.
I see.
He has a strong will, so I'm sure
you'll be okay if you're by his side.
I'll give you my blessing, Kawahara. You have my support, too.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Congratulations! I'll give you my support, too.
To both of you.
Thank you.
It's something to celebrate so soon after the new year, isn't it?
Yes it is.
What's wrong, Yoko?
As part of the celebration, let's eat.
If it's okay, I'll light some incense to pray for your mother.
Oh. Thank you.
Please let me help.
What?
Please.
Okay, please do.
It's all men in the other room, isn't it?
In that case . . .
would you mind grilling the mochi?
Okay.
It's such a nice kitchen, isn't it?
This kitchen?
It's nice.
It has the smell of happiness.
I thought she was adorable.
And I liked her.
I remember wondering if I liked her
because she was someone the man I loved was
so in love with.
Please taste this.
Really?
It might be a little too strong.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Really? I'm so glad.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Yoko . . .
Thank you.
Yoko . . . are you okay?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
This is nozawana greens and herring stir-fry
- that Ms. Tae made. - Wow!
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing. Shall we eat?
- Okay. - Let's eat.
Okay.
It's good!
I'm glad.
Thanks for the show.
- Thank you. - The mochi soup too!
Wasn't I admirable? But it was painful for me, after all.
I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry my heart out.
That night seemed so long.
Please excuse me.
Hey! Hey!
- What is it, Shige? - How can you even ask that, Haruki?
Why didn't you even realize anything about her?
But I . . .
I can't bear to watch Yoko.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
She's doing her best, isn't she? Yoko is strong.
She is,
but having the man she loves propose to someone else right in front of her . . .
I feel so sorry for her.
That's true.
Shouldn't we go back?
- I feel sorry leaving the three of them alone like that. - That's right.
J-j-j-just a minute! I have something important to say.
Those two are spending the night tonight, right?
- That's right. - So?
Where are they going to sleep? I'm talking about which rooms . .
If you think about it, it would normally be
Yoko and Ms. Tae.
Oh, that's right.
That would be painful.
Right?
How about if we let Yoko sleep alone, and the two of you sleep with me?
That leaves Mr. Kawahara and Ms. Tae in the same room.
Dad . . . that definitely won't work.
I see. You're right.
What are you doing?
Nothing, really.
We were just deciding the order for using the bathroom.
Huh?
It's time to get ready for bed.
- Huh? - Are you going to bed already?
Of course! It's okay if Ms. Tae shares my room, isn't it?
Is that okay with you?
What other way is there?
- I don't know. - I don't know. - I don't know.
What's with you all? Hurry, and get the futons ready.
It's going to be a painful night for Yoko, isn't it?
I'm coming in!
Thank you for letting me use this.
Not at all.
This is a wonderful room.
It's cute, and you have a lot of books, don't you?
I love books.
May I look at them?
Of course.
Here you go.
Thanks.
If there's a book you like, take it with you.
Although I'm sure they have books over there.
I can't read.
Oh . . . I'm sorry.
But is it really okay if I take this?
Yes, of course.
I thought it would be nice to practice how to read and write.
That book is interesting, so I think you'll like it.
I'm looking forward to it.
Aren't you afraid of
going to Manchuria . . . to an unknown place?
I see.
What do you love about Mr. Kawahara?
At first, I was afraid of him.
A lot of students came to the cafe, and he made lots of friends,
but I didn't want to be one of them.
Because our status in society was too different,
and I thought I'd only get hurt.
But Mr. Kawahara
told me that he needed me.
Ever since I was born, I was treated as a nuisance.
They said they never wanted to take me in,
and that there wasn't enough food for me.
I worked at different jobs, but
no matter where I went,
they'd tell me I could easily be replaced.
So that was the first time anyone
told me that he needed me.
I was so happy to hear that.
I see.
That's why
I thought I wanted to be with him even for a little while,
and be a woman he'd say that he needed.
I thought that's all I needed.
That's why I was so surprised today.
Because I thought we'd be together only until he left for Manchuria.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Go ahead . . .
That's when I thought . . .
that my first love had come to an end.
I didn't cry that night.
I couldn't.
What do you love about Mr. Kawahara?
He told me that he needed me.
That was the first time that anyone
told me that he needed me.
That's why I wanted to be with him even for a little while.
Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Be happy. - We will.
Be careful.
I'll still be seeing you.
So then . . .
Take care.
Thank you.
So then . . .
- Thank you for everything. - We appreciate your support.
Not at all.
Shall we go?
And a while later, Mr. Kawahara and Tae left for Manchuria.
After the war, Mr. Kawahara and I would meet again.
And Tae never returned to Japan.
But . . .
But I think that Tae was happy.
Even after we parted, I didn't cry.
But still, you know . . .
I developed a fever that night, and was laid up in bed for days.
Wasn't I precious?

I'm sorry!
What are you doing? Go to your seat!

I'm sorry.
"A variety of things may be used for fillings,"

What's wrong?
Are you crying again?
- That's why women are... - Quiet! Be quiet.
I'm sorry.
Once more.
I just can't bear it. It's
too painful.
Once more!
"A variety of things may be used for fillings,
such as chopped or thinly . . . "
I'm sorry.
Open wide.
It's okay.
I'm sorry. I can't stop. I'm sorry.
No.
It must have been rough. You did your best.
I did do my best.
You were great.
I was.
But it's unusual, isn't it?
What is?
I've heard a lot of stories about heartbreak, but
the man you love proposing to someone else right in front of your eyes,
and then having to spend the night in the same room with the woman he proposed to . . .
That's true.
Don't be angry, Yoko.
Not get angry?
Just a little . . . it's kind of funny, isn't it?
What?
- You're mean! - You said you wouldn't get angry.
I didn't say that. I just shook my head.
What do you mean?
That's enough.
Open wide!
That was the end of my first love.
I see.
What an adorable way to have your heart broken.
Is it?
Yes, it is, Yoko.
I'm beginning to sound like I'm back in the Showa era (1926-1989).
How wonderful.
Isn't it? It sounds nice, doesn't it?
But even if you were heartbroken,
it wasn't as if you had confessed your love and were turned down, was it?
Young girls back then wouldn't even think of doing something like that.
Really? That's somehow adorable.
But it's really a nice memory when I think of it now.
I suppose it would be.
What about your first love, Fusako?
Me?
Oh, my first love . . .
wasn't at all like yours.
But my heart was broken in a way that you hardly hear about.
My first love . . .
- Do you want to hear about it? - What?
It might be long, but will you listen to it?
Then let's forget about it.
If it's going to be long, let's just forget about it.
- Really? - Yes.
I suppose you're right.
By the way, Fusako . . .
Yes? What is it?
Do you still have time? Don't you have to prepare dinner?
No, it's okay. Everyone's going to be home late today.
Is that right?
Excuse me for a minute.
Hello . . .
Of course I'm alive. We're talking, aren't we?
Are you alive?
Where are you now?
Hmm, I don't know . . . but is it okay?
You don't have to bring anything . . . yes . . .
I see . . . well, then, be careful. See you.
That was Ikuko.
No way! That was Ikuko?
You should have let me talk to her.
But she would have been surprised if you did, wouldn't she?
So, how is Ikuko?
Oh, she's just fine.
I just LOVE Ikuko!
She sounds so cool, and independent, and the type who
can somehow get things going.
She can, right?
Is she coming back here from somewhere?
Yes. She's coming back here now.
Really? What should I do? If I wait,
can I meet her?
She's at . . . let's see . . . what was it? Ga . . . ga . . .
- Ga . . . - Is it a place that starts with "ga?"
- Galapagos? - Huh?!
She's in Galapagos?
But isn't that far away?
I think it's quite far away.
She's always flying off somewhere alone.
But it sounds so like Ikuko.
That's true.
Shall we get back to the story?
Okay.
We were talking about taking the teaching school entrance exam, right?
You're going to pass, aren't you?
What?
You must have passed. After all, you became a teacher, right?
Well . . .
You can skip over parts of it if you want to.
Since I already know most of it.
Skip over?
Yes. Please.
I see. You want me to skip over it.
Yes!
You're sure about that?
.
Do it faster.
Okay.
Machiko . . . I don't understand this.
What is it?
We did this before, didn't we?
What?
It's a relative pronoun. The word before explains the phrase that comes after.
So this means a scientific point of view that explains the movement of the sun,
the stars, and the planets.
You want me to skip over it, don't you? All right, I will.
I'll skip it. It's better that way.
But . . . it will make you cry.
Sunshine
I'm going to become a soldier to protect my country.
That means I'm going to protect Dad, Haruki, and Yoko.
Do your best for the country.
I will.
When I told him I wanted to take the Tokyo Girls' College entrance exam,
my father was against it. But I want to go no matter what.
What should I do, Yoko?
I decided! After I graduate from Girls' High School, I'm going to teaching college.
And . . . I'll be a teacher!
Sunshine Chapter 5 "HEARTBROKEN" Episode 30
One . . . two . . . one . . . two . . .
Do it faster, and correctly.
Okay.
Machiko . . . I don't understand this.
What is it?
We did this before, didn't we? It's a relative pronoun.
What?
The word that comes before this explains the phrase that comes after.
Do you understand?
I got it!
After the New Year's holiday was over,
it was time to study for entrance exams.
Everyone around me was studying for there exams,
including me and Ikuko.
And Shigeki, too.
If the vertical speed
increases, the horizontal speed per minute decreases,
the angle of descent is 10 degrees
at a velocity of 80 meters . . .
The first to take our exams would be Shigeki, who would go to take it in Matsumoto.
Then Ikuko would go to Tokyo for her exam.
Then, after a little while,
I would be the last to take mine in Matsumoto.

Shige!
Here's some katsu to ensure you'll pass (katsu).
Wow . . . thank you!
It's a preemptive strike, right?
That's right!
Don't drop it! It's bad luck.
Thank goodness. You'll be fine now.
You'll be okay.
Eat a lot!
Well, I'll be on my way.
- Be careful on your way. - I will.
Stay calm.
Got it. I will.
Do your best.
Okay. You, too, Yoko.
I will.
- Suwa Shrine - School Exam Test Prayer
I'll be going now.
Do your best!
Ikuko had to fight to take her entrance exam.
What do you mean, you might not be able to take your exam?
My parents were against it,
but I finally persuaded them to just let me take the exam.
They're probably thinking that I'm going to fail the exam.
You've been working hard at it, so I'm sure that you'll pass.
Thank you.
But . . . I'd have to stay in Tokyo until the test results are announced.
And so all of a sudden,
they're saying they can't let their daughter stay in Tokyo alone.
I don't have any relatives or friends in Tokyo.
We have a family business, so they can't send anyone to go with me.
I don't even have any siblings like Yoko who could go with me.
My little brother and sister are still too young.
There's a place in Ochanomizu
for students who are taking exams. I thought I'd be staying there.
But they sent a telegram to not allow it.
Really?
I don't know what to do.
I've had it! I'm going even if I have to sleep under the stars!
You can't do that.
Isn't there any other way?
I got it.
Huh?
I said I got it . . . Ikuko?
Yes?
Leave it to me.
Just a moment.
Machiko?
Leave it to me. I'll be right back.
Keep studying. Okay?
Hello . . .
Hotaka 102, please.
What's Machiko doing?
I don't know.
Let's do as Machiko says, and keep studying, okay?
Okay.
Yes . . . hello?
- Okay. Let's do our best. - Yes, we'll do our best!
We can't concentrate while wondering what she's up to, can we?
- I'm sorry. - Not at all.
How are you doing with your studies, Yoko?
My sewing hasn't progressed much, but
it's too late to get really good at it.
My plan is to get more points in other areas.
- I see. They have music and physical education, don't they? - Yes.
I do have confidence in those two.
What will they have you do for physical education?
Long-distance running, then the horizontal bar, and chin-ups.
You're good at that, Yoko.
I'll do them until they tell me to stop.
Do that, and show them!
When I listen to you talk,
I feel like you'll really become a teacher.
That's right. They're all things that we teach children.
I'm sure you'll pass, Yoko. I have a feeling.
Really? Thank you.
I want to study and learn about all sorts of things, but
more than going to school,
I think I'm more interested in going to Tokyo.
I see.
So maybe that's why the gods are making it
so I can't go to take the exam.
Ikuko!
Yes?
Let's go to Tokyo together!
- With you? - Yes.
At least, let's get them to agree to let you go to Tokyo with me.
I'll be your guardian so you don't go wandering around the streets of Ginza.
We're going to stay at my father's freind's house.
It doesn't sound as if it's too far from the school.
Right now, one of my father's messengers has gone over to your house.
What? My house?
Yes. If it's a request from my father,
your father can't say "no," can he?
Of course he can't!
He can't say "no" to a great landowner.
Aren't you glad, Ikuko?
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Machiko!
It's okay. I can't wait to go.
But won't I be imposing on your father?
It's fine. This is when having influence comes in handy.
It's been a while since I've been this glad that my father is rich!
Your father didn't oppose the idea?
At first he did, but I
threatened to get a permanent if he refused.
That's something that my father really hates.
When I told him I'd do it right away,
he begged me not to do it.
So let's go and enjoy Tokyo from the time of the exam until the results come in.
Thank you, Machiko!
I'm so glad.
We're off!
And that's how,
thanks to Machiko's father's aversion to permanents, Ikuko
headed for Tokyo with Machiko in order to take her exam.
Yoko . . . will you be okay?
That's right. Will you be okay?
Why are you worried about me? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Because you'll be all alone.
That's right. Will you be okay all by yourself?
Now that you mention it . . .
No, I'll be fine.
Just do your best.
What do you want from Tokyo?
That's not what you're going there for, is it?
Yoko. Settle down.
Okay.
I'm home!
How did it go?
I passed!
You did?
Congratulations! We'll celebrate!
No . . . let's celebrate together when you pass your exam, Yoko.
Shige!
Okay. I'll do my best!
Okay.

"My younger brother always makes fun of me."
"Tooimawashi ni iu no wa yamemashoo." (Let's stop beating around the bush.)
"Let's not always . . . "
Welcome back!
Is that Yoko?
- We're back! - We're back!
How did it go?
Let's see . . . Tokyo was fun!
And, um, we went to Ginza, and...
Not that. Your exam!
Did you pass?
I'm going to Tokyo.
Huh?
- Really? - Yes.
That's great! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Yoko . . . work hard now.
That's right.
I will!
It was nothing but good news.
And it was finally my turn.
But . . . we're out of time.
.
To the women!
To having a good life!
But I never want to marry!
I want to decide about my own life.
Today is the day I'm leaving. I'm leaving home!
Find her!
Dad . . . I'm leaving now.
