A Tokyo publishing company?
Congratulations, Ikuko!
Thank you!
So you're dating?
- Right? - Yes.
Shall we make a toast then?
Great!
Oh . . .
Huh?

- Oh! - Huh?
You three . . .
Why are you hiding?
I guess it's okay.
Isn't it?
It's okay.
It's been a long time, Mochizuki Sensei.
I'm sorry. It was just a reflex action.
I'm sorry.
How many years has it been since we met at this shop?
It brings back memories, doesn't it?
You three!
What are you doing in a place like this?
Hurry and get out of here.
- I'm sorry! - I'm sorry!
Stopping here on your way home from school!
You're such delinquents.
Are you still at Azumino Girls' High School, Sensei?
No. I retired last year.
You did?
I did.
Right now, I'm holding sewing classes at home.
Is that so?
Thank you for your hard work.
Not at all.
But your sewing was terrible, wasn't it, Ms. Sudo?
I can't forget it.
I wasn't that bad . . .
I was. I'm sorry.
What's with you?
I see.
So a lot has happened to you all since then.
Yes, we've all been through a lot.
We've grown up.
Yes, you have.
But I'm glad you all made it safely through the war.
Thank you.
I'm glad you did as well.
Thank you.
Did you have a hard time at the Girls' High School, too, during the war?
Yes, it was tough.
The school grounds were all turned into fields.
And the army took over the school gym.
I liked the Azumino Girls' High School during the time you girls were there.
Everything made sense.
The school, the teachers, and the students too.
That's how I feel.
When the war started, everything changed.
You all went to school at the best time.
Yes. I have to agree.
That's true.
It really was, wasn't it?
- Eh! - To! - To!
I don't care about imitating monkeys (sarumane).
It's "Salman," not sarumane, Sensei.
How are you supposed to wear this?
Uh . . .
I'm sorry.
It was fun back then, wasn't it?
It was.
Oh, Octo . . . no, I mean,
Iida Sensei saved me once.
By the way, I want to know who
became a teacher after this school was nationalized.
She wouldn't cause any trouble. I can assure you of that.
Iida Sensei . . .
You can call me Octopus.
Really? Iidako did that?
I have to give him credit.
Iidako?
Is that what you used to call him?
Yes, but only when he wasn't there.
All the female teachers used to call him that.
So the teachers were just as terrible as we were.
That's true. It was worse than what we called him.
What did you call him?
Octopus.
What's that?
It's "tako" in English.
Then it's the same as what we called him!
No, what you called him was more direct, so it was worse!
That's right, isn't it?
Well, then,
I'd better be going.
Wait a moment, Sensei.
We were just about to make a toast. You should join us.
What?
Yes, that's right, that's right!
We've all turned a corner in life.
Please join us in the toast, Sensei.
Are you going to make a toast?
Get "that" out for them.
Right!
"That?"
We got this from the Occupation Forces.
It's a very popular drink in America.
It's called "cola."
Cola?
You can have this special on the house.
- Thank you! - Let's drink.
Let's drink!
Okay, Yoko . . .
Please make the toast.
If you insist.
Let me lead you all in a toast.
Okay.
Ladies . . .
Ladies!
Oh, and also the gentleman.
Oh, gentleman too!
Have a good life!
To a good life!
Cheers!
How is it, how is it? Is it good?
What is this?
This is very precious.
Precious or not . . . I can't drink this.
Sensei!
It's cola!
I see. So you're going?
I am.
I see.
Uh-huh.
Do your best.
You too,
Shigeki . . . SAN.
Okay.
I will.
I'm going to try to become a doctor.
I don't think it's reckless, and I don't know how many years it'll take.
Do you think you can become one?
Maybe not just years . . . but decades?
I don't know . . .
Decades? It won't take that long.
We're both taking the long way around, aren't we?
I suppose so.
But there's no sign of any girls around you, are there, Shigeki?
Do you really think you should be aiming to become a doctor?
Sorry about that.
Well, that's what it is.
Someday, you know,
when you become old and gray, if you're still alone,
I'll look after you then.
What?
Aren't you lucky to have such a good woman like me to tell you that?
You must be happy!
Are you kidding? It's the other way around.
What do you mean?
No one will marry a tomboy like you, so when you're an old lady, I'll look after you.
What do you mean by that?
What if you haven't gotten into medical school even after you're an old man?
Listen here!
But it's possible.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Good.
After parting like this,
Ikuko went to Tokyo.
What is it that you wanted to talk about?
Pardon the intrusion . . .
Here we are, Hinako.
You're not a stranger here, Yoko.
I'm sorry. It's been a while, Dad.
How have you been?
- Fine! Hinako, here's your grandpa. - Hi, Hinako!
How is Hinako doing?
Fine, thank you.
I haven't seen her for a while, but her eyes look nice, and clear now.
- Is that right? - Aren't you glad, Hinako?
What is it, Shige?
What did you want to talk about?
Sorry. I know you're both busy.
No, it's fine.
Dad . . .
Yoko . . .
Yes?
Well . . .
I think you might find it surprising, or even be shocked, but . . .
What is it? Is this about becoming a doctor?
- What? - Huh?
Are you thinking about becoming a doctor, Shige, from now?
Yes . . . uh . . .
Did you know about that, Dad?
For a long time now.
Really? What's going on?
How . . . how can I say?
That is . . . that is . . .
Why is it always like this?
Really?
So it seems.
I give up!
I'm sorry.
Maybe I should have pretended I didn't know.
No, I don't think so.
I don't see anything wrong. You surprised me.
Huh? Were you surprised, Yoko?
Of course I was!
You were? In that case, it's okay.
I was surprised, but I'm happy.
You are?
I know you can do it, Shige.
You think so? I guess you're right.
Probably.
Probably?
- Shigeki . . . - Yes?
Can you do it while I'm still alive?
What?
Dad!
I can. Probably.
Probably?
So please live a long life.
All right.
Hinako . . . you'll give me your support, won't you?
She smiled just now.
There's a new life starting here, too.
That was a hopeful sign, wasn't it?
Sunshine
What's wrong, HInako?
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, Hinako.
Sunshine Chapter 19 "STARTING OVER: MOTHER & DAUGHTER-IN-LAW" Episode 113
It's okay.
- Hinako . . . - Yoko!
I'm sorry . . . I woke you, didn't I?
You mustn't do that.
Do what?
You mustn't tell a baby not to cry.
That's a baby's job. Isn't it, Hinako?
Let me have her.
Hinako . . . it's okay, it's okay.
It's a baby's job to cry.
A baby's job is to cry, drink milk, and sleep.
You're putting all that effort into crying, so
why do you have to be told not to cry?
You're trying so hard.
You need to praise her.
You're crying so well. You're doing great!
Do you understand?
Yes.
I understand. Thank you.
Of course.
- And then . . . - Yes?
It's only natural for a family with a baby
to go along with the baby's whims.
So don't feel bad about it.
We all go along with the baby,
don't get enough sleep, and all feel the same way.
Eventually, the baby will stop crying at night,
and start to say what she wants instead of crying.
And everyone will be happy to see her growing up.
Do you understand?
If you say, "I'm sorry," I'm really going to get angry.
Thank you.
It's okay.
She stopped crying.
I'll give you back to your mom.
Thank you.
Good night.
Hinako . . . I'm sorry.
I said something terrible, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's 35 yen for one record.
That's double what it was three months ago.
It's getting expensive, isn't it?
What's going on, anyway?
Prices just keep going up.
That's true. Our salaries don't go up,
but the cost of goods keep rising. It seems hopeless.
Let's just do our best. We can manage.
Kazu and I are both working.
Once we can get buckwheat for soba noodles, we'll be okay.
That's true.
I'm sorry.
Stop that!
So did you buy that 35-yen record?
Of course not! Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?
But rumor has it that you're making a lot of money with the new hairstyles.
That's not true. Well, maybe just a little.
Your shop is really popular, isn't it?
- Aren't you glad? - Thank you.
Is that so? New hairstyles are getting popular?
Didn't you notice?
The women around town have some awesome hairstyles.
I didn't notice.
That's because Yoko's the only woman for Kazunari, right?
What are you saying? What kind of mother are you?
I'm a wonderful mother.
Look how happy Yoko looks!
That's embarrassing.
Oh, that's right . . . I got a letter from Ikuko in Tokyo.
And she's really terrible.
Terrible?
I told her the last time she went to Tokyo,
she only wrote simple letters, so
I made her promise to write two pages or more when she answers my letters.
And so . . .
I received this.
I'm
well.
- That's terrible, isn't it? - It's terrible.
It's so like Ikuko.
But I can see that she's doing fine.
There sure are a lot of strange people around you, aren't there?
That's right.
Compared to them, I'm pretty plain.
All I do is send people off.
What are you saying? The sun doesn't move. Everything
around the sun moves. That's how it should be.
Wow, that's right!
Dad . . . that was a pretty good thing to say.
Was it?
Yes, thank you.
Come here, Hinako.
Is this okay?
Yes, thank you.
How's work, Yoko?
If you're having a hard time, I'll tell the company president.
Please don't do that.
He's been nice enough to accommodate my selfish requests already, so if I
do something like that, the gods will punish me.
I'm really grateful.
All right.
Okay, let's go!
Well, we'll be leaving now.
- Have a nice day. - Have a nice day!
She's really become a good daughter, hasn't she?
She has.
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing. I'll bring the tea.
Was she quiet while I was gone?
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
Don't cry, Hinako.
I know, I know.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
You're not hungry, are you?
Time to sleep . . .
Go to sleep.
Is this okay?
Well, was it okay?
Hurry, and do the next one.
Okay. Thank you.
I've had enough of this!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Hinako . . .
I thought it was only natural that the people at work would be irritated.
But without Kazunari's and my income,
the family wouldn't be able to survive.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
Welcome back. You worked hard.
You look tired. Are you okay?
Do you think so?
After all, Hinako's gotten a lot heavier.
Has she?
Thank you.
Where's Kazu?
He's not home yet.
How's the restaurant doing?
It was a little busy.
We ran out of things to serve.
It's a dilemna.
Is it?
Mom?
Is anything wrong?
Why?
Because . . .
are you upset with me?
What is it?
It just seems . . .
you're always so distant.
What?
You're always considerate and always holding back.
You'll always be like that, won't you?
That's too much.
If you're tired, why don't you say that you're tired?
Why don't you tell us if something happened?
And why can't you lean on us more?
Why won't you show us your bad points?
You know?
Mom . . .
What?
Do you mind if I say something?
Huh?
I'm going to say it anyway.
Sunshine
You're always so distant, Yoko.
What?
So considerate of our feelings, and always holding back.
You'll always be like that, won't you?

♫ and the flowing breeze ♫
♫ I felt like I could ♫
♫ keep on living. ♫
♫ You are my miracle. ♫
♫ You are my hope. ♫
♫ If, somewhere, someone keeps thinking of me ♫
♫ that is all that I need. ♫
If you're tired, why don't you say that you're tired?
Why don't you tell us if something happened?
So why can't you lean on us more?
Why won't you show us your bad points?
You know?
Mom . . .
What?
Do you mind if I say something?
Huh?
I'm going to say it anyway.
What is it?
You're the one . . . who's distant.
Why?
Because you yourself
don't want to show a tired face to the family you love, right?
You think so, right? Isn't that what you do?
I feel the same way.
I love you all, so at least while I'm here, I want to be smiling.
When I come home and see your faces, I feel relieved
and forget how tired I am. That's all it is.
Even about my job . . .
it's something I suggested and decided to do,
so I want to try and do my best on my own.
That's all it is.
I just want to do it on my own.
That's it.
If it gets so bad I can't take it anymore,
you know I'll turn to my family for comfort.
You should know that!
Thinking that
I'm holding back
just shows how distant you are.
You're wrong.
I love you very much.
I want to become
a mother like you.
That's how I feel.
Didn't you tell me that
when we're here at home, we should always be smiling?
You're an idiot, Mom!

Yoko?
Yes?
I'm sorry.
What's that look on your face?
What do you mean?
I know! You're frustrated . . .
because you can't argue with what I said. Isn't that it?
I apologized, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
You're so hateful.
That's not true. I'm adorable.
Dad!
Dad! Say something!
Huh? . . . um . . . no .. .
oh . . . no . ..
well . . . um . . .
Yoko won this round.
Didn't I?
Yoko . . .
What is it?
This coming Sunday
it seems there's a movie called "Casablanca."
I was thinking of going to see it. What about you?
Huh?
I'll go. I want to go. I'll go with you!
Shall we go then?
What shall we wear?
I don't know. What are you wearing, Mom?
What shall I wear?
- I've wanted to see that. - Really? I'm so glad!
I can't wait!
I'm home!
Welcome home!
What's going on? Did something good happen?
Yes.
A little bit.
What timing! Coming home now.
I can't help it if I had to work overtime.
I see.
- Shall we go and talk about what we're going to wear? - Yes.
Let's go!
Oh, Kazu! Look after Hinako for a little while.
Okay, got it.
Oh, that's right.
The two of you will look after Hinako this coming Sunday, won't you?
The two of us will be going out.
All right.
Thank you.
Dad!
Yes?
I'm counting on you.
Let's start with this.
And next . . .
Which do you think is better?
This one.
So why are they like that now?
Who knows?
Probably because they're mother and daughter.
I see.
It looks like those two have
deepened their love for each other before you and Yoko.
How could you, Yoko?
I was kidding.
Let's do our best, Kazunari.
Why are you trying to cheer me up?
What is that?
Right?
I wish I could have seen you and Mom arguing.
Are you sure? You wouldn't like it. I would have asked
you whose side you were on.
I wouldn't like that.
I know you wouldn't.
Dad said you were really angry.
I wish I could have seen you when you were angry.
What was that?
Good . . .
Aren't you going to change?
Yoko . . .
I decided not to go to the movies with you. Let's do it another time.
Oh?
What's wrong Mom? You should go.
Yoko was looking forward to it.
Yoko is going.
Going with you.
Huh?
The two of you haven't gone out together
since you got married, have you?
So the two of you go, okay?
Mom!
Don't just stand there. Aren't you going, Kazunari?
Oh. I'm going.
Hurry, then, and change. Go on!
The movie's going to start!
Mom!
Thank you.
Of course.
Mom was like the sun.
A lot of wonderful women appear in your stories, don't they?
Really? Thank you, that makes me happy.
I really love all of them.
They're all the sun.
They are, aren't they?
Women, you know, are all the sun.
All women?
That's right. You are, too.
Me too?
That's right.
I see . . .
So did you go to the movie?
Yes.
Just the two of us.
Wow! Was it good?
I'll never forget it.
It's the movie I love most in the world.
Really?
Have you watched it again recently . . . on a DVD or something?
No, I wouldn't watch it.
After all, it's locked in my heart.
That's so cool!
Don't you want it?
Open!
Keiko will be here soon, won't she?
Yes.
Good evening!
Good evening.
She's here!
- Study hard. - I will!
Yoko Sensei . . .
What is it?
Hurry, come inside.
Good evening.
Hana?
We're poor, so . . .
we don't have the honey that you like.
Yoko Sensei!
It's been a long time, hasn't it, Sensei?
It has.
I'm so glad you came.
What? Takeo?!
Have you found a wife?
They asked to arm-wrestle.
Go! Go!
Isn't that asking too much?
- Well... - Be quiet!
Kayo . . . don't cheat.
Soon Maru-An will be a real soba restaurant again.
