There's something I'd like to ask.
What is
everyone's dream?
What?
Our dreams?
Yes.

My dream . . . ?
To be honest,
all I've thought about is that I'm grateful to be alive,
and having the family all together . . .
just that makes me happy.
Have a good day.
♫ We are grateful to our soldiers. ♫
♫ Thank you, soldiers. ♫
Hurry! Quickly!
I was so scared.
Thank you for waiting for me.
I'm so glad! So glad!
Our daughter suddenly came down with a fever!
Please, Doctor!
Hinako!
That's so true . . .
just being able to be together.
But now . . . now . . .
I think it's time that we move forward a little from that point of view.
We should think more about
our future and our dreams.
I see.
You're right. Back then,
it took everything we had just to stay alive.
So what's your dream, Mom?
My dream?
You brought it up, so you start first.
That's right.
I'd like to hear your dream, Yoko.
I want to hear it.
My dream?
Well . . . to be honest . . .
I don't know clearly yet, so I wanted to hear about yours.
When I became a teacher, I thought I'd be happy
if I were still in contact with my students even after I grew old.
I still think that, but . . .
. . . but now . . .
all I want is for Hinako to grow up healthy and strong.
But I guess that's not really a dream.
What I've thought about
is how good it would be
if there were a place where my students, friends,
and everyone I know could gather together.
During times of hardship or worry,
we could all rely on each other.
I'm thinking I want to be a person like that.
But it's still not clear to me yet, so I don't really know exactly.
I see.
It's so like you.
Then . . . what about you, Dad?
- Me? - Go on, Dad.
Hurry, and tell us.
For me . . .
for me . . . I want my own field of buckwheat.
I'd raise my own buckwheat, harvest it, make soba noodles, and serve it to people.
That's what I'd like.
I see . . . it's just as I thought.
There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
No, I think it's wonderful!
It's wonderful!
So then, what about you, Mom?
Me? For me . . .
I haven't really thought about it. Just having our business prosper,
and having everyone in the family in good health is more than enough for me.
But if I had to say something . . .
What?
I'd like to live in a different place.
Well, ever since I was born, I've lived
at Maru-An, and have never been away. And I'll probably never leave.
It's not that I hate it, but I've thought
I'd like to try living in a different place just once in my life.
I haven't thought about where, but . . .
I see . . . you've been at Maru-An all your life, haven't you, Mom?
That's right. All my life!
So have I.
I've been there since I was seventeen years old.
That's right, you have.
Well, then, you're the last one.
What? Hinako?
You!
Go ahead, Kazunari.
I feel bad, but I really don't have any dreams.
Sorry for being such a boring guy.
It's okay.
You are boring, aren't you?
I'm sorry. It's my fault for asking something so strange.
It's okay.
If I had to say, my dream
is to be happy.
But all of your dreams are great.
I can be a part of
Yoko's, Mom's, and Dad's dreams.
- That's true. - You're right.
I guess you're right.
Then that's good enough.
I don't know about that.
Right?
It's good!
Up we go!
It feels good here, doesn't it?
It's nice to hear the sound of the water, isn't it?
It is.
One of my school teachers told me
that listening to the sound of water running is
the best feeling in the world.
That's wonderful.
This is where life starts,
and it keeps running,
and connects you to life.
After all, water is the source of life, isn't it?
Everything starts from here.
At the time, I never imagined that
all of our dreams would merge into one someday.
Wake up!
We're up.
You were sleeping, weren't you, Dad?
It looks like the house in the picture book.
What is this house?
I've never seen a house like this.
If I'm not mistaken, this was a villa for someone from some foreign country.
But no one's lived in it since the war started.
It's the house in the picture book, isn't it, Mom?
Look!
- She's right. - My!
Are we done yet?
- Big Brother Shige! - Hinako!
I'm glad you came . . . that's good.
I'm Big Brother Shige . . . big brother!
But you're really her uncle, so it should be Uncle Shige!
Be quiet!
Uncle Shige!
♫ The steam train goes chug-chug-chug, the steam train goes chug-chug-chug! ♫
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sorry to barge in so suddenly.
We hardly see each other.
That's true. I'm so sorry.
What are you saying?
It just means in this era we can come and go as we please, right?
That's true.
Now that we got that out of the way . . .
Right!
We brought this with us today.
That looks delicious!
Come on, Shigeki!
Big Brother Shige!
And then . . . this!
This looks delicious!
You're laughing at me, aren't you, Hinako? I'll get you!
Run away, Hinako!
Hang in there, grandpa!
Excuse me.
Here I come!
I caught you!
A little while after that . . .
Here you go.
Welcome!
♫ They traveled afar ♫
♫ by camel ♫
♫ riding under ♫
♫ the desert moon. ♫
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you!
Sunshine

Sake!
Bring me sake!
Are you sure you should be drinking so much?
Drinking sake without eating anything isn't good for you.
I'm asking for sake.
Okay.
♫ Put the prince ♫
♫ in the first saddle. ♫
♫ Put the princess . . . ♫
Is it okay, Mom?
Don't worry. It's okay.
Here you go.
Drinking sake is fine, but have some of this, too.
Thank you.
I bought them.
We bought enough for everyone.
So you bought them?
See . . . see . . .
Oh, is this it?
It's so small, isn't it? What's different about it?
They're a little different from before.
Yoko!
Yes?
Yoko!
We got the lottery tickets.
The winning ticket is . . .
This one. This is the one.
Really? Then I'll take it.
- Are you sure? I'll take this one instead. - What are you doing?
There's no way to know which one will win.
Then I'll take this one.
How much is first prize?
Let's see . . . one million yen!
Awesome!
It would fill a potato sack.
You'll get change even after buying a house, won't you?
Let's see . . . an electric refrigerator, a phonograph, and clothes!
What shall I buy?
For me, I'll get the most expensive bonsai tree.
How plain . . .
That's fine, but yours won't win, Dad.
Wh-Why not?
I just know . . . that's not the face of a winner!
Stop fighting!
I'll buy an American-made motorcycle.
- Oh, that? That's great! - That's cool, right?
The world sure has gotten brighter, hasn't it?
That's true.
The town is brighter now.
It's been five years since the war ended.
It seems short, and yet long, doesn't it?
Hello!
Hurry up! Quickly! It's over here.
Is this one mine?
Yes. They say there's good fortune in leftovers.
That's right!
I feel like I'm going to win.
I am!
The winning ticket is this one.
Yoko, what do you want to do if you win?
Huh? . . . Probably a sewing machine.
That's good! I want one, too.
- I see. - What about you, Kazu?
- I would... - He said he wants a motorcycle.
That sounds wonderful.
I hope we win.
It's fun, isn't it? It's a time to dream, right?
That's true.
It's no fun if I don't win.
You're stingy . . . do you
think you can win with that face?
It has nothing to do with my face.
It's nice to dream, isn't it? It makes me feel so happy.
- Really. - That's true.
I've had enough of this!
Talking about dreams . . .
and happiness . . .
laughing like fools!
You're all scum!
What's become of this country?
Have you forgotten all about the war?
Huh? You must be kidding.
You can just laugh like fools and go on with your lives.
What's going on here, anyway?
Calm down.
Leave me alone!
I've heard enough of this . . . enough . . .
Mr. Kawahara?
Do you know him?
Yes.
Mr. Kawahara . . .
Are you all right?
Pull yourself together. Are you okay? Hey!
It had been ten years since I last saw him.
Hey!
Are you okay?
Mr. Kawahara was Haruki's close friend.
I see.
He came to visit us a number of times.
He didn't wait to graduate from Matsumoto High School,
and went to Manchuria.
Together with a woman named Tae.
Manchuria?
Yes.
His uncle ran a newspaper over there,
and he said he was going to help him.
He said Manchuria will be an ideal nation,
and he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
He's the son of a doctor in Kofu, but he's not going to be a doctor.
Manchuria will become an ideal nation
like the United States.
I want to see that with my own eyes.
Manchuria?
He must have gone through a lot before coming back here.
That's probably true.
There are a lot of people like that around here.
Shinshu had the most people going over there out of all of Japan.
They were told that the land
over there was ideal.
But once they got there, it wasn't like that at all.
What about Tae?
I don't know.
But they met here in the town of Matsumoto.
Is that right?
What a strange twist of fate
that he came to our place.
That's true.
Yes.
Manchuria?
He must have gotten angry at
the way we were carrying on.
It can't be helped.
I don't think we were wrong.
We all . . .
suffered in our own way, too.
We've finally reached this point,
and we don't have to feel ashamed . . . Mom.
Thank you for what you said earlier.
Not at all.
Mr. Kawahara . . .
doesn't know that Haruki . . .
passed away, does he?
Probably not.
I see.
Kazu?
What?
I was embarrassed to say this in front of
Mom and Dad, but . . .
What is it?
I wanted to tell you properly.
Sure.
Well . . .
Mr. Kawahara . . .
was my . . .
first love.
Sunshine
What's become of this country?
Have you forgotten all about the war?
Mr. Kawahara?
Mr. Kawahara was my . . .
first love.

♫ In the shining light and flowing breeze ♫
♫ I think that I ♫
♫ can go on living. ♫
♫ You are my miracle . . . ♫
♫ you are my hope. ♫
♫ If somewhere, you are thinking of me, ♫
♫ that alone is enough for me. ♫
I don't think Mr. Kawahara even realized it.
After all, he smashed my heart into pieces.
Pardon the intrusion.
♫ the camels ♫
♫ travelled afar. ♫
Are you okay, Yoko?
Yes.
I'm sure you'll make a good wife, Yoko.
I won't wash it.
It's silly, isn't it?
But . . .
then . . .
I love her.
Please give us your blessing.
Please give us your support. Please!
It was the first time in my life
that anyone said they needed me.
That's why . . .
I wanted to be with him, even if it was for a little while.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
And so . . .
Mr. Kawahara and Ms. Tae
went to Manchuria?
I see.
What happened to Ms. Tae?
Why is Mr. Kawahara alone?
To Yoko . . .
and the rest of the family . . .
I'm sorry I was so rude,
and for all the trouble I caused.
I'm really sorry.
Tae . . .
died in Manchuria.
It's as if I had killed her.
So I have no right
to have dreams or be happy.
Please forgive me for leaving
without saying anything.
Maybe he
went to Azumino.
Huh?
He probably did.
Go there.
I don't know what happened, but
I think you should tell him
how happy Tae
seemed to you.
Please do that.
You're probably thinking that
he was your first love, and you're married now,
so you shouldn't see him. Aren't you?
If that's so, I'll be angry.
I'm not worried.
Hurry, and go. I'll look after Hinako.
Okay.
I'll go as you say.
Good morning!
Good morning.
What's wrong, Yoko? Are you going out?
Yes.
Is he still sleeping?
No . . .
Huh? What's wrong?
I found it!
What's going on?
What is he doing?
I have no idea.
Kazunari's really bad at that, isn't he?
♫ They traveled afar ♫
♫ by camel ♫
♫ riding under ♫
♫ the desert moon. ♫
Kazu and Hinako are both so adorable.
What's wrong, Fusako?
Nothing, but . . .
listening to your story,
sometimes . . .
I don't know what I should do.
What do you mean?
That is, I just can't help
thinking about what the people in your story are doing now.
In other words, I want to know how they are now.
When I think about that, I feel like
something is squeezing my heart.
I see.
I see what you mean.
Is Kazunari . . . ?
No, no . . .
you don't have to tell me, after all.
I see.
But for example,
can you tell me about
just one person?
All right. Who?
Let's see . . .
Um . . .
Your older brother, Shige.
He's just fine.
I'm so glad!
Thank you. That makes me feel so much better!
I'm sorry.
So you went to your home in Azumino then, didn't you?
And was Mr. Kawahara . . . ?
Yes. He did go to our house.
But I didn't get there in time.
Is that so?
He left?
Yes.
I see.
How was he?
Mr. Kawahara . . .
He just stared at Haruki's picture.
He stared . . .
and stared . . .
That's all he did.
He didn't say anything about himself.
About what he was doing now . . .
He didn't?
