Good . . . good . . . good.
All the money I invested to this point . . .
is gone!
Does that mean you won't be a rich man anymore?
That's what it means.
I'm all for it, father!
Machiko?

And now, all the citizens of Japan must bear our hardships the same way.
That's why it's fine with me, father.
Yoko . . .
Well . . . here . .
have a drink.
Okay.
It tastes awful. It's cheap sake, isn't it?
What?
- Shall we eat? - Yoko's father made this.
He did?
Here you are.
Then, let's eat.
Let's eat.
Father, you should hold back a little. They weren't expecting you.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
It's delicious.
Is it? Thank you.
Father . . .
It's good.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
Seconds.
Okay.
Father, are you that hungry?
People often say that young ladies of wealth don't know how to deal with adversity,
but Machiko was different.
Maybe since she believed in her own strength,
she didn't allow dire situations to get to her.
Mr. Soma . . . I mean Emperor . . .
I don't think you're the delicate type
who would be ruined by just one failure.
It's hard to watch a man like you looking so miserable. It's depressing.
Go back to being so hateful and arrogant that people dislike you.
That suits you better.
Are you praising me or putting me down?
It's the highest form of praise.
It was called obligatory delivery of metals,
and we were all required to deliver whatever metal we had in our homes.
That's the last of it.
They were gathering metal to turn them into weapons and ammunition.
Okay, it's finished. It should be fine now.
Thank you, Dad.
Take good care of it.
I will.
You're so lucky . . .
You're a man, so you should walk.
Yoko does all the work around the house, so going all the way to high school is hard on her.
So this is special.
Okay.
Besides, women from now should at least be able to ride bicycles, shouldn't they?
I'm sure that's what your mom would say.
She would.
I'm counting on you.
Good morning!
Hey! Good morning.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
You can take it now.
Okay.
So, I'll take it now.
Thank you.
Even now when I think about it,
I wonder what that bicycle was reborn as.
Did it turn into a weapon that would hurt someone?
The world just kept getting darker.
I wondered how Shigeki was doing now that he was put on active duty.
Was he safe?
And how was Takeo doing? Those things were all I thought about.
Are you okay, Yoko Sensei?
Yes.
Shall I slap your rear to give you some encouragement?
No . . . I'm okay.
That's too bad.
There was the same atmosphere in the classroom, too.
Since so many of the children's brothers and fathers had gone off to war,
families that had no one to work in the fields, were really poor.
But I might have gotten a little too used to that kind of poverty.
Oh!
What's wrong, Hiroshi?
My lunch!
What?
It was here just a while ago . . . until we went for our training exercises.
It's gone now!
What?
Listen . . . quiet down!
Someone ate my lunch!
All of you . . . settle down!
- Who was it? - Who ate it?
I won't ask . . .
who did it.
I don't want to know.
And I won't
hate the person who did it either.
I love you all.
I don't want to blame anyone.
It must be so hard for all of you!
You must be weary.
It's painful, isn't it?
I know that you're all trying your best.
But . . .
what makes me the most sad
is that the person who did it is feeling scared.
I don't want any of you going through that.
That person
won't be able to look forward to coming to school from tomorrow.
The person won't be able to look forward to seeing all of you.
I think that's what makes
me so sad.
I want school to be a place that you all enjoy.
I want it to be a place where you all look forward to seeing each other.
That's what I want.
That's why, Hiroshi . . .
I'll apologize in place of that person.
I'm sorry.
So please forgive whoever did it.
Thank you . . . thank you.
Sensei . . . it was me. I ate his lunch.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Hiroshi.
Keisuke . . .
I'm so very sorry.
I just had a feeling . . .
that it wasn't him.
Keiko?
Sensei . . .
I'm sorry.
I . . .
It's okay. That's okay.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
You're brave. You're so brave, Keiko.
Keiko's father had been drafted into service,
and her mother was ill, so they must have had trouble getting enough to eat.
You don't have to say anything.
About ten years later
there was a wedding I was so happy to attend.
That was Keisuke and Keiko's wedding ceremony.
Nagoya Teikoku University
There was a parting I didn't know about.
Shigeki?
Hello, Haruki.
Shigeki!
Hello, Haruki.
Sunshine Chapter 8 "TO EACH HIS OWN" Episode 47
After graduation, Haruki, what kind of doctor are you going to be?
Well, let's see . . .
Will you go to Tokyo, and become a great doctor?
No. I'm going back to Azumino.
I'll go back to Azumino, and open a hospital.
So . . . it'll be the Sudo Clinic.
I guess.
By then, you'll be married.
You'll have a wife . . . and children, too.
And Dad will become a grandpa.
And Yoko . . .
Yoko . . . will probably be married.
Even so, she could live nearby. That would be good.
Anyhow, that sounds nice.
What about you?
What?
Oh . . . me? I forgot about me.
You should live nearby, too.
Me too?
That's right.
If I do that,
we'll all be together, won't we?
Shige . . . where are you stationed now?
I can't tell you. It's a military secret.
I see. I guess it would be. Sorry.
That's okay.
Are you okay, Shige?
I'm fine.
You are?
I flew together with the guys
I went to Preparatory Flight School with
many times.
But . . .
a lot of them didn't come back.
I lost a lot of friends.
They were great guys.
They were the greatest.
They really were.
I'm proud of them.
That's why . . .
we can't lose.
Haruki . . .
when we were kids,
Mom's family was
What?
going to
take me in, weren't they?
And . . .
you put a stop to that.
Right?
Thank you.
Huh?
Thanks to you, my life was good.
I was happy to be a part of the Sudo family.
Thank you.
Stop it, Shige, you're making me angry.
Okay.
I have to be going.
I see.
Well . . .
take care.
Okay. You too, Shige.
Haru . . .
I'm going to see Yoko, the sun.
Oh.
Yoko will be delighted. Go do your comedy act together again.
Shige . . .
don't die!
Shige . . . don't die!
Shige . . . don't die.
three . . . begin!
♫ I am a child of the sea ♫
♫ raised in a pine grove ♫
♫ near the sound of the breaking waves ♫
♫ at the beach. ♫
Ariakeyama National School
♫ smoke trailing above ♫
♫ my dear home . . . ♫
Checkmate!
Wait!
This is the third time already.
- One more time. - Pardon me!
I'm Navy Military Aviator Chief Petty Officer Sudo Shigeki.
Thank you for your efforts!
- Thank you for your efforts! - Thank you for your efforts!
No, I'm sorry to drop by so unexpectedly.
It's been a long time, Takahashi Sensei.
Sudo? Sudo Shigeki!
Yes. Do you remember me?
I didn't have you as a teacher, though.
Eh?
That's right . . . Chief Petty Officer Sudo.
This is Sudo Sensei's older brother.
- Huh? - What?
My sister is always indebted to you.
So why are you here today?
- Actually, Principal . . . - Yes?
I have a favor to ask.
Whatever you need . . .
Thank you.
Actually . . .
Yes?
Over there. Sixth Grade White Group. Yoko Sensei's group.
Thank you.
The postcard and stamp from a certain post office
are shown here.
The problem was to calculate the sales, wasn't it?
Okay . . . Kanta! Come up front and solve the problem.
Okay!
You did your best, Kanta.
Give him a hand!
Okay, take your seat.
Kanta? Hurry and take your seat.
Okay.
So, who knows the answer?
What's wrong? Is Keisuke the only one?
Keiko's hand went up. Go ahead, Keiko.
Okay.
Oh!
Quiet down! What's wrong?
Who's that?
I'm sorry, Yoko Sensei!
Shige!
Yes.
What . . . what are you doing here? Why are you here?
I always wanted to see Yoko Sensei's class one time,
so I'm here for a class visitation.
What are you saying? You fool! Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry. Don't get angry.
Excuse me . . .
What is it?
That uniform . . . is it a navy uniform?
This? I'm in the air corps.
That's awesome! Will you shake my hand?
I'll be glad to.
Thank you!
Me, too!
Oh, okay, wait, wait!
On the spur of the moment, I got Shigeki to
talk to the children as a graduate of the school.
Please go ahead, Chief Petty Officer Sudo.
Okay, then. Just a few words.
Japan . . .
will positively win the war.
Just . . .
leave it to me!
That's right!
So that you can work for the sake of our country, too,
train hard and do your very best!
We will!
Cheer up!
Okay!
And leave the rest to me!
We will!
As a special favor to the Sixth Grade White Group,
I'll tell you embarrassing stories about Yoko Sensei when she was a child.
Wait a minute!
- Actually, Yoko Sensei... - I don't know what you're going to say, but stop it!
- Until she was eight... - Stop it!
I thought Shigeki came home to say "good-bye."
Don't listen to this, everyone!
Sunshine
I'll become a soldier to protect my country.
That means I'll protect my father, my brother, and Yoko.
Japan . . .
will positively win the war. Just leave it to me!
We will!
Sunshine Chapter 8 "TO EACH HIS OWN" Episode 48
But the atmosphere has changed since it became a national school, hasn't it?
But children are still children. That hasn't changed.
I see . . . you're right.
Oh, right . . . why aren't you riding your bicycle?
I handed it over as metal to the government.
You did?
It won't ever go to waste.
Not a single bullet will go to waste.
I'm counting on you.
What? Shigeki!
Hello!
Welcome home!
Don't tell me . . .
has the war ended?
What? Oh, no . . .
the battle has just begun.
I see . . . so it's not over yet.
You fool!
But . . .
Just be quiet! Shige, are you on leave?
Yes.
Relax and enjoy yourself.
It's because Takeo went off to war, too.
Oh? Is that right?
So Takeo went to war?
It's nice to be home, after all.
When do you go back?
I'll get on the evening train tomorrow.
I see . . . it's short, isn't it?
Yes.
I'll fix you something good to eat.
I'd appreciate it.
We don't have anything fancy during these times.
Whatever you cook is delicious.
Dad should be getting home soon.
He is?
Yoko!
Let's surprise Dad.
What?
- Is this okay? - It's good.
The kitchen. In the kitchen.
Hurry!
Over here.
I'm home!
Dad!
Oh . . . Shigeki.
Thanks for the lunch.
Huh? What?
Uh . . .
What's wrong, Shigeki?
Oh, nothing . . . just . . .
What?
So you mean you saw Mr. Miyamoto?
Why did he tell you?
It can't be helped.
But how did you know we'd try to surprise you, Dad?
I know how the two of you think.
I'm not like him.
True. Shigeki would be the one to come up with something like this.
But I never expected you to turn the tables on me, Dad.
- Wasn't my acting good? - It was.
Dad has become a little funnier these days.
Really?
Just a little.
Right . . . just a little.
You were awful before, weren't you, Dad?
On the day of Mom's funeral . . . what was that?
You don't have to bring that up.
"They were sakura (stand-ins)."
Yoko! I told you not to bring that up.
Did you?
That wasn't funny at all.
Of all the puns I've hear in my short life, that was the worst.
It was so bad, we laughed until our stomachs hurt!
When I asked him if it was a pun,
you said Dad wouldn't do a play on words.
So Haruki asked Dad, "Is that right?"
Isn't that enough already?
- Yes. - I'm sorry.
Stop it!
You two . . .
That's enough! (KATTE NI SHIRO goma. [Shiro goma also means white sesame.])
You're right! He's become just a little bit funnier.
I know! But just a little.
A little bit.
That's enough. Ii kagen ni
"SHIRO miso!" (white miso)
You figured it out!
Why did you say it first?
We were afraid to be serious,
so we kept talking and laughing.
I think the three of us thought it might be our last evening together.
It's okay . . . it's okay.
Calm down, Shige.
We're all with you.
Dad, Mom, and Haruki, too.
It's all right.
It's okay.
Dad . . .
Dad?
Haruki . . .
Yoko . . .
Mom . . .
Thank you
for everything up to now.
I . . .
was happy.
I was happy
to be born
into the Sudo family.
Yoko . . .
I'm . . . going to become a star.
So I
want you to be the sun.
Shigeki returned to the battle the next day.
Historically speaking, it may have been wrong
to think that way, but
I don't think it was only me.
That Shigeki was prepared to die at such a young age.
I don't think the way he felt was a waste.
I'm sure he was afraid . . . and sad, too.
But people like Shigeki never complained.
I respect them, and I'm proud of them.
Sensei!
What's wrong? Did you forget something?
Yoko Sensei . . . look at this.
That's great! A four-leaf clover!
We found it on the way home, didn't we?
Aren't you lucky? You'll find happiness now.
We'll give this to you. Right?
What are you saying? Keep it for yourselves, and I'm sure something good will happen.
That's why we want to give it to you, Yoko Sensei.
That's why we ran back over here.
Didn't we?
Is it okay?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'll treasure this.
Well, then, shall we go home?
Good-bye, Yoko Sensei.
- Good-bye. - Good bye.
Good-bye. Thank you! Be careful on the way home!
We will!

Eh? Huh? What?
Oh, that Yoko . . .
You're having the marriage meeting, right?
- One! - Two!
- Three! - Please let me have your daughter.
What?
Is he the soba soldier?
I like you, too.
I want to be living with the person I love.
