I'm so happy! I'm happy. Thank you.
Thank you!

Have a seat.
Dad . . .
Shigeki . . .
Yes?
We're going to . . .
have a baby.
What?
Are you sure, Yoko?
Yes.
You are . . . you are?
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Are you okay, Yoko?
I am.
No, what I meant was if it's okay for a child to have a child.
Huh? What do you mean by that?
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
So you're going to have a baby, Yoko.
You're going to be a mother.
Yes.
Dad . . . you're going to be a grandpa.
Oh, that's right.
A grandpa?
I'll be happy to become a grandpa.
Kazunari . . .
Thank you for coming all the way out here to tell us.
Not at all.
I . . .
I'm happy.
It wasn't that long ago
that all I thought about was
was whether I'd live or die that day.
But now I can find joy in that a
new life will be born.
And to think it's my own child,
I just can't believe it.
I'm glad
I came back alive.
I'm so glad.
I'm glad.
- Shigeki . . . - Yes?
I think that this child
will be born in place of
the many people who died in the war.
I just can't help but think that.
A child born after the war . . . ?
That's true.
- Yoko . . . - Yes?
Take care of yourself.
Listen to Kazunari's mother,
and take good care of yourself.
Yes. I will.
If it's a boy, you can name him Shigeki.
I'll pass on that.
Why?
Will you be okay, Uncle Shigeki? Get your act together.
Just watch me! I'll surprise you one day.
What will you do to surprise me?
I don't have any idea right now.
What are you saying?
Shigeki's running on the approach right now.
- What? - What are you talking about?
When you do the high jump or broad jump, you approach on the run before jumping, right?
In order to jump high or far, you have to run the approach just right, or you can't jump.
That's why I say Shigeki is running on the approach now.
I see. Is that it?
As expected from a grandpa, isn't it?
Oh, what's that?
Doesn't the baby move yet?
Of course not!
Oh? Is that how it is?
To think Yoko's having a baby . . .
That's true. She's sassy, isn't she?
What do you mean?
Yoko, right?
What do you mean by that?
I wrote letters to so many people to let them know.
Up until then, I'd written letters because I was worried about them,
so it made me happy to be writing
a letter with good news.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself.
I will.
What?
Really?
Yes . . . I really am.
That's wonderful!
That's so wonderful!
What am I going to do?
I'm so happy.
I'm happy.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Yoko.
Thank you.
To think that little Yoko is having a baby . . .
Is that right?
Yoko's having a baby!
Congratulations, Shigeki.
Thank you.
Are you okay, Takeo?
Hey!
I'm okay. Yoko's awesome, isn't she?
She is, isn't she?
When are the two of you going to find a bride?
Yoko's already going to be a mother.
That's true.
Huh?
Don't give us, "Huh?" How about it?
So, um . . . .
What's that about?
Let's go in.
- Hello! - Hello!
Here they are.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Yoko . . . your friends are here.
Coming!
Ikuko . . . Machiko!
- Yoko! - Yes?
I told you to take your time coming down the stairs, didn't I?
Yes, I'm sorry.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Listen . . . I want the two of you to tell her, too.
She's hopeless, and doesn't seem to realize her condition.
I see. All right.
We'll be strict!
Why are you looking so dissatisfied?
I'm sorry.
Congratulations, Yoko.
Congratulations, Yoko!
Thank you!
What a surprise.
Yes, but I'm so happy.
Me, too. So you're the first mother in our Blank Paper Alliance.
So, how does it feel?
Right . . . I'd like to know, too.
I don't really know yet.
That's why you're getting scolded like that.
That's right.
But when I'm eating, there are times when I think
that I'm not eating only
for myself, but for the sake of my child.
Isn't that wonderful?
Is that why you're eating this?
Right! Dried small sardines are the best source of calcium.
Have some.
Thank you.
Me, too.
- How is it? - Delicious!
Just imagine Yoko's going to be a mother . . .
I don't know why everyone says that about me.
Because you seem more like a child.
What? Enough . . .
So you're pregnant . . . when you really think about it, getting pregnant is pretty awesome, isn't it?
It really is.
You're going to be a mother . . .
But do you remember the first time we went to Matsumoto to see a movie?
Some strange man held Yoko's hand.
The onion man?
That's right.
What about it?
Don't you remember what you said at that time?
Huh?
That's right.
What?
Won't you hate me? You won't say that you won't be friends with me?
Of course not!
We promised to be friends forever.
I . . .
can't become a bride.
No . . . I won't get married!
I hate men.
I'm going to live my life alone forever.
In that case, so will I!
You're right. Let's do that.
I'm sure it'll be fun.
Machiko . . .
Thank you.
You betrayed us, didn't you?
That's right, isn't it?
What? But . . .
We're just kidding. I'm so happy! I'm so happy that I'm speechless.
I jumped up in the air when I got your letter.
Thank you.
I'm so happy, Yoko. So happy.
Thank you.
Hurry and grow big!
Everyone was happy.
They all felt a new era
was beginning with this child.
Sunshine
Is it true? What am I going to do?
I'm happy. I'm happy!
To think that little Yoko is having a baby . . .
A grandpa?
Congratulations.
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
They all felt that
a new era was beginning with
this child.
Sunshine Chapter 15 "BECOMING A MOTHER" Episode 89
Here you go.
Dad?
Thank you for working so hard every day.
You know, it's okay even if you don't get a raise at work.
I'm just really happy that you have a place to work.
Sorry about that.
No . . .
It's more than enough for me that our family can all live together like this. Isn't that so?
I guess.
What is it?
Takeshi . . .
It's okay if you're not good in school. I don't care if you're stupid.
You don't know how lucky you are just to be able to go to school.
Oh . . .
Right? Right?
Did you do something?
No, I didn't.
Hey . . . what's going on?
I wonder . . .
I don't know.
- I'm leaving! - Me, too!
Have a nice day!
It's been a while since they said anything when they left the house.
Yoko!
Fusako!
- What? - You're late!
Oh . . . I'm so sorry.
When I stopped at the service area to take a bathroom break,
there were so many things to eat lined up there
and they all looked so delicious so I couldn't decide what to get.
Your face is telling me that if it's going to take me time to finish, you want me to stop, right?
I'm sorry. I'll stop.
Never mind. It's okay, just sit down.
Okay! Thank you.
Okay, I'm seated.
Let's see . . . where was I?
Right . . . when you got pregnant.
That's right.
But compared to today,
it must have been rough for a pregnant woman back then, wasn't it?
You think so?
Yes. After all, medicine has come a long way since then.
But isn't it harder today?
Do you think so?
In my day, everything Mom said was always right.
So as long as I listened to her, I would be fine.
I see . . .
Well, I'm going to start now.
Okay, Yoko Sensei.
"Give us Rice"
The shortage of food and everything else kept getting worse.
But unlike during the war,
we had hope that would get better someday.
Autumn 1946
Back then, Kazunari's dad would leave early
every morning to see if he could find buckwheat somewhere.
He went everywhere in Shinshu,
but he couldn't find any anywhere.
Kazunari was still working at the factory,
so Mom took care of the restaurant all by herself.
And I was in the eighth month of my pregnancy.
- Good morning. - Good morning!
- Did Dad leave already? - Yes.
I see.
I hope he'll find some somewhere today.
Where is he going today?
To Togakushi . . .
That's so far, isn't it?
But when it has anything to do with buckwheat,
he's so happy. No matter how hard it is.
That's true.
Are you okay, Mom?
I'm fine.
Dad already made this simmered dish,
and Setsuko will be here before I open.
Leave it to me!
When the restaurant is having a tough time, it gets my blood racing.
It's better if times are rough!
I see.
Let's eat!
Thank you.
Thank you for the food.
What?
I feel bad that I'm the only one having this.
It's not for you . . . it's for your unborn baby.
Okay.
So, let's eat, Yoko.
Since you walk slowly,
get ready early, and leave early. Understand?
Yes, I do.
But don't eat too fast. Be sure you chew your food.
Okay.
Kazunari . . . stop savoring your happiness from early in the morning,
and eat your breakfast!
What's this about, anyway?
You got scolded too, didn't you, Kazu?
Why do you look so happy?
Because I'm the only one who always gets scolded.
Stop that, you two! Stop flirting . . .
We're not!
You are, you are!
See? You're always looking into each other's eyes.
It's getting hot in here!
Well, eat lots, and do your best!
You, too. Eat, eat!
Thank you.
Thanks to my unborn child,
it seems like everyone was more cheerful.
Oh . . . good morning!
Good morning.
Are you fine?
I am!
Good morning . . . how are you? It's your Auntie Setsuko.
You mean you weren't asking about me?
I'm sorry.
We'll be going, then.
Have a nice day.
Be careful!
I will.

Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I know this is a blessing, Maruyama Sensei . . .
Yes?
But this is a very important time while we're in the process of reforming the educational system for a new era,
so try not to hold us back. Please.
I won't. I'm sorry for making you worry.
That principal is so disagreeable.
I can't tell whether his thinking is new or old-fashioned.
While he talks about a new educational system,
he takes women for fools.
It makes me so angry. Don't let him bother you.
I won't. Thank you.
If you're having a rough time, just tell me, okay?
Okay.
I wonder which it will be.
I wonder . . .
For today's class meeting,
I want to choose who will be in charge of first aid, hygiene, and handling the animals.
Do you understand?
Yes.
And then, I want to decide what each of them will be doing.
Let's hear your opinions. Raise your hands.
Me! Me! Me!
Ota . . .
The person in charge of handling the animals should care for the rabbit, and since
Oshima is already doing that, I think he should be in charge.
- Me? - I agree!
The classroom was gradually becoming more cheerful.
We didn't have much in the way of teaching materials,
but there was the enjoyment of having something new about to begin . . .
for the students, and for me, too.
- three, and begin . . . - ♫ The land of Shinano ♫
♫ is in Shinshu ♫
♫ Crossing the region ♫
♫ the mountains are so high ♫
♫ and the rivers flow so far. ♫
♫ Matsumoto, Ina, Saku, and ♫
♫ Zenkoji. ♫
♫ The four plains with fertile soil . . .
But there were sad and lonely things happening at that time, too.
They started the land reform system.
And that memorable buckwheat field . . .
the field that made the buckwheat that Maru-An was so proud of,
was taken from the current owner, and turned over to the tenant farmers.
They were unable to grow buckwheat for soba anymore.
"More Land Reform"
I guess it can't be helped.
That's true . . .
the tenant farmers will be
rewarded for all the hardships they've endured up to now.
Don't you agree?
Yes.
The memories are locked inside my heart.
Let's look to the future. Right, Dad?
Someday . . .
let's grow . . .
our own buckwheat field here at home.
Our own field.
That's a good idea. Isn't that a good idea, Dad?
Oh, yes, it is.
Right?
It is.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Yoko . . . this . . . isn't this about. . .
your grandmother who we talked about?
What?
Look.
Kirino Fujiko
This newspaper article
would bring about something totally unexpected.
Sunshine
- Good morning. - Good morning.
0,1s late. Listen at the end of previous segment. Can you hear "Yo..."?
your grandmother who we talked about?
What?
Look.
This newspaper article
would bring about something totally unexpected.
Sunshine ♫ In the bright sunshine and the flowing breeze, ♫
♫ I feel as if I could keep on living. ♫
♫ You are my miracle ♫
♫ You are my hope ♫
♫ If somewhere, you think of me, ♫
♫ that is all that I need. ♫
That newspaper article was about my grandmother's husband.
In other words, about my grandfather,
Viscount Kirino having passed away.
The newspaper speculated that it may have been
suicide after having all his assets taken away
when the noble ranking system was abolished.
And one more thing . . .
the article stated that my grandmother had donated all of her inheritance.
I thought it seemed so like my grandmother.
And I thought the picture of her looking a bit angry
was also so like my grandmother.
Your stubborness
is just like Hiroko.
I really can't stand it.
I'm sorry.
You didn't have to take after me to that extent.
Take care . . . Yoko.
Your father passed away.
You weren't . . .
weren't able to see your father all this time, could you?
Now, you can spend time with him there.
I wonder how your mother is doing.
I suppose she's lonely.
I wrote her a letter to tell her I was having her great-grandchild,
but I never got an answer.
So, I was worried.
I see.
I wonder how she's doing.
I'd like to meet her.
I know.
What kind of person is your grandmother?
She's really wonderful . . .
She's so fashionable . . .
She looks so nice wearing a hat,
and her shoes were so cool.
She sounds wonderful.
Yes, she really is.
But . . .
she's a bit scary when she gets angry.
Her face goes way up!
Oh?
And she's really stubborn,
and hates to lose.
But I really love my grandmother.
She sounds like an interesting person, doesn't she?
She looks so fashionable there.
I know. We can't look like that!
No, we can't.
- She gave you your wedding outfit, didn't she? - Yes.
That's right. It was so beautiful!
I'm sure she has good taste.
You can tell by the wedding outfit she chose for her daughter.
Of course, she could do it because she had money,
but just because you have money doesn't mean you have good taste.
There are rich people with bad taste, too.
That's true.
So . . . my grandmother is a rich person who has good taste.
Oh, gee . . .oh, no!
I forgot to open my shop.
Oh, right!
My!
Pardon me . . .
you look like her.
So . . .
Yoko! Yoko!
- What's wrong? - Your grandma . . .
We finished talking about her.
Like I said, she's fashionable . . .
and looks nice wearing a hat . . .
That's why . . .
Yoko . . . Yoko!
And what is that, anyway?
Pardon the intrusion.
What are you saying?
Quiet down!
Grandmother!
Grandmother?
What are you doing here?
May I come in?
Oh . . . please, come in.
I'm pleased to meet you.
I'm Yoko's husband, Maruyama Kazunari.
So you're . . .
I'm Maruyama Tokuko.
I'm Yoko's mother.
So you're her mother-in-law?
I'm pleased to meet you.
I'm Kirino, who's scary when I get angry,
stubborn, and I hate to lose.
Grandmother, I'm sorry to hear
about Grandfather.
Thank you.
But I came here today on a different matter.
Yoko . . .
Yes?
Congratulations! You're having a baby, aren't you?
Thank you.
Kamikura . . .
Yes, Mistress.
This is a gift from me.
Open it, and take a look.
Okay.
It's so beautiful!
Thank you!
I'm glad you like it.
I happen to be one of
the rich with good taste.
Well, then, shall we go?
All right.
What are you saying?
After coming all the way from Tokyo, you can't just leave right away.
That's right. Please stay as long as you like.
But I finished my business here.
Grandmother . . .
Yoko . . . you have my heartfelt congratulations.
No!
I won't let you go!
I want to . . .
spend more time with you.
I want to talk to you more.
Please don't leave.
I refuse to let you go.
Grandmother!
You're even scarier than I am when I'm angry.
I'm you're granddaughter, after all.

Please . . . have a seat here.
Thank you.
Yoko . . .
Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
I think the mistress is actually very lonely.
She was really looking forward to coming here today.
But she couldn't admit it.
I think I knew that.
Thank you.
The mistress was so happy . . .
All she could talk about every day, was that she was
going to have a great-grandchild.
She wondered what she could get as a gift.
Is that right?
Yes.
It's a fine restaurant, isn't it?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm sorry my husband isn't home right now.
Not at all. I'm sure he's a wonderful man.
I can tell by looking at you.
Thank you.
Your name was Kazunari, right?
Yes.
I'm glad you came home safely.
Thank you for serving our country.
And . . . thank you
for coming home.
Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Thank you.
Well, well . . .
Here you are.
Oh, thank you.
- Thank you for the tea. - Please, go ahead.
At that time,
I'd made up my mind to ask
my grandmother for a favor.
You look like a sumo wrestler!
They might say things like that.
- It moved! - You see, Kazunari!
I . . . received a marriage proposal.
Now . . . at least
I feel like I respect all the mothers in the world.
Is it time?
Sunshine To be continued . . .
