I hate this!
I . . .
I'm going to Tajimi!

I'm going to Tajimi!
I'm sorry.
I'll leave
on the first train out tomorrow morning.
Will you please look
after the children for me?
Yes.
Don't worry about them.
Right?
Right.
It's fine.
In that case,
I'll leave them in your hands.
Okay.
Can I come in for a minute?
Yes . . . come in.
Are they asleep?
Yes.
Is that a change of clothes for Kazunari?
Yes.
He didn't take much with him.
That's true.
Yoko . . .
Yes?
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm sorry!
Mom, you don't have to apologize.
Am I . . .
making a mistake?
If it were you,
what would you do?
If it were me?
Yes.
I wouldn't know
until something like that happened.
There's only one married couple in this world
like you and Kazunari, right?
I wouldn't know what a married couple
should do, or what a wife
is supposed to do.
That 's why . . .
you
should just do what you think you should do.
And I'm sure that will be the right thing to do.
Okay.
Um, earlier . . .
just before I said I'd be going to Tajimi,
weren't you just about to say something, too?
So . . .
what were you about to say?
Oh, that.
I wanted to tell you to get angry.
Don't hold back - just get angry!
Thank you.
Not at all.
What is Kazu doing, anyway?
I wonder!
I . . .
For a little while,
I thought of taking Hinako with me.
Even if Kazu
had forgotten all about me,
if he saw Hinako,
his feelings might change.
That's what I was thinking,
but . . . doing that just seemed to be unfair somehow.
That's what I thought.
I gave up that idea.
I won't do that.
Okay.
Do your best.
I will.
I'll be back soon.
And so . . .
I went alone to where Kazu was in Tajimi.
Mr. Maruyama . . .
Yes?
- Go right in. - Pardon me.
Yoko?
I'm sorry for barging in all of a sudden.
What?
Will you allow me to come in?
Uh . . . yes.
What are you doing here?
What am I doing here?
Excuse me . . .
Yoko?
I brought these for you.
You've been here quite a while now.
So I thought you might need these.
But . . .
I've just been wearing this most of the time.
Is that right?
Thank you.
Yoko?
She's beautiful, isn't she?
What?
Oh, Yoko . . .
it's not what you think.
What is it I'm thinking?
Huh?
But . . .
there seems to be some misunderstanding.
What am I misunderstanding?
No . . .
like I said,
it's not what you're thinking. Not at all!
I just came to bring this for you.
So . . .
I'll be leaving now.
Huh?
Wait a minute! Don't be ridiculous!
Who cares if I'm being ridiculous!
I shouldn't have come.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
Wait a minute.
Listen to what I have to say.
But you're distressed.
I'm not distressed.
I was just surprised.
Grandma . . .
What is it?
When is Mom coming home?
I don't know . . .
Hinako . . .
Come help me clean up here.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't explain clearly enough, did I?
The end of the month
is the delivery date for a big client,
so if they don't finish making
this really large order,
they'll be in a bind.
That's why
That's why I thought I'd stay until then.
I can't be of that much help, but
Shigemori was
really troubled . . . about the work he left.
He seemed really worried.
That's all it is.
That's all it is, Yoko.
No . . .
it's not just that.
Sunshine
I shouldn't have come.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
Sunshine Chapter 25 "MOTHER'S SMILE"br>Episode 146
To be honest . . .
I am . . .
enjoying it a little.
This work . . .
making ceramics.
So . . .
I got a little caught up in it.
I wondered if I'd be able to make
the dishes we use in our restaurant myself.
I sort of got caught up in that.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong . . .
to make you worry unnecessarily.
I'm sorry.
Do you understand now?
I . . .
didn't ask you anything.
That's right.
You didn't.
You just started talking on your own.
I didn't ask you to explain.
Right.
But . . .
don't be angry.
- I'm not angry. - You are!
It wasn't easy
coming up here by yourself.
It was far.
Were you okay?
You . . .
Were you that concerned about me?
You mean you can't even trust me?
I don't think it's a problem of whether I trust you or not.
Then what is it?
It's up to me to think about whether I trust you or not.
I think it's wrong for you to ask whether I trust you or not.
Don't be splitting hairs.
All right.
Did you think I'd abandon my family?
I wouldn't do that, would I?
It may be true when you think
in terms of family.
I don't think you would do that.
But . . .
you and I are husband and wife.
To be husband and wife,
it's not because we're family,
but because we love each other.
It's not that we have to be together.
In terms of a man and a woman,
I don't have confidence that you can't
love another woman.
I came here
not as your family,
but as your wife.
I'm not really that confident.
I worry that you won't come back.
I'm afraid that someone
will steal you away.
I think about that.
And I get jealous.
And I . . .
I don't want to be thought of as family
at a time like this.
As if I'm not a woman, so I don't like it.
What am I saying?
You don't like
hearing this, do you?
What's so funny?
I'm a lucky guy . . .
to have you care about me this much.
Do you even regret what you've done?
If you had explained more clearly, this wouldn't have happened. Don't you know that?
I know.
I'm sorry.
Shall I go home with you?
No way.
Why not?
It'd look like I came here to drag you home.
I see. That's right.
You can stay until you finish your work.
Stay until you finish it right.
Thank you!
Not at all.
I'll do my best.
Okay.
Oh, after this . . .
Huh?
Would you like to see the work I'm doing?
It's interesting.
Okay.
Oh, before . . .
you told me not to be splitting hairs, right?
Huh?
I'm sorry if I'm always splitting hairs.
No . . .
I'm happy that you're relieved, but . . .
I don't know . . .
What?
I may fall in love with another man.
You never know what would happen if a really wonderful man
fell passionately in love with me.
Who?
What man?
A wonderful man, of course.
So, like who?
Who?
Like Humphrey Bogart.
What's so funny?
You never know!
Of course I do.
And so I went home to Azumino.
Yoko!
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Ikuko!
I'm really indebted to you for what you did.
What are you doing here?
We'll talk later.
First, talk to your mother.
Okay.
Is that what it was?
Yes.
What are we going to do with the men in our family?
I wonder about that.
Well . . .
I suppose that's one of their good points.
It is.
But . . .
I'm glad I went.
Are you?
Yes.
I'm glad I went.
Would Kazunari have been in danger if you hadn't gone?
You're wrong. I didn't mean it like that.
So . . .
by any chance, did it deepen your bond as husband and wife?
What? I suppose.
Did it?
I see . . . is that it?
I'm so glad.
Thank you.
What are Ikuko and Machiko doing here?
Oh, Ikuko came by this afternoon.
You weren't here, so
I told her what was going on. I'm sorry.
That's okay.
And she was so worried,
so she called Machiko, and they've been waiting here ever since.
Is that right?
In any case . . .
thank you for making the long trip.
Not at all.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Well then . . .
you three relax and have a long talk.
Okay.
I'm sorry to have kept you here so late.
That's okay. Actually, my husband is away on a business trip.
Is he?
What about you, Ikuko? Are you going back to Tokyo right away?
No . . . I'm planning on staying around here for a while.
Really?
Well, then . . .
can I ask something really selfish?
Huh? What?
What is it?
Will you spend the night here?
Huh?
Spend the night here? The three of us?
That's great! Would it be okay?
Yes.
After all, I want you to hear all about it.
Sunshine
I'm a lucky guy.
Come on! Don't you regret what you've done?
If you had explained more clearly,
this wouldn't have happened. Don't you know that?

And that's what happened.
Really?
It must have been so hard for you.
Yes.
But I'm amazed you went all the way to Tajimi. That's great!
Really? Do you really think that?
I do.
I'd do that, too.
Thank you.
So when is Kazunari coming home?
It'll probably be about a month.
Really?
But in the end, Kazunari didn't do anything wrong, did he?
That's true, but . . .
What?
The saying is that you should leave well enough alone when there's a marital spat.
Ikuko?
Yes?
I think that's wrong.
Huh? What is?
Don't say it like it's nothing.
I think the way Yoko was feeling at that time
and when she went to Tajimi,
was very, very hard on her.
Yoko was thinking the very worst, and was prepared for that when she went.
That's right. That's the important part, Ikuko.
I see . . .
I guess you're right.
I got scolded by two married ladies.
What do you mean by that?
Come to think of it,
this is the first time for the three of us to spend the night together, isn't it?
That's right. It is, isn't it?
It is?
I feel like we've done a lot, but that's true, isn't it?
It's fun, right?
It is.
I . . .
I somehow have a feeling that I'm
going to be here forever.
Forever.
Really?
That's why I'll always
be here, so
let's get together here at any time.
Okay. Even when we're old ladies.
That's right.
We promised to live a long life, right?
We did.
Forever . . .
we're going to live until we die.
- Yes. - Of course!
What?
Huh?
Live until we die? Isn't that taken for granted?
It is, isn't it?
That's right!
So . . . what happened after that, Ikuko?
That's right . . . I came here to tell you about that.
But then I heard you were having a terrible time.
I see.
First of all,
I got fired from the publishing company.
Really? You did?
Yes.
It couldn't be helped after all the trouble I caused.
No?
And then?
Okay, then . . .
The person from the radio broadcast station for the show
that was the cause of my trouble in the first place
became very interested in me.
So he asked if I would come work at the radio station.
And so I'm going to work there!
Really? At the radio station?
I'm so happy for you, Ikuko!
Thank you.
You have the luck of the devil, don't you?
She really does.
I really believe I do, too!
What about you, Machiko?
Me?
Well . . .
it seems I'm going to be in a very important position at work.
Huh? What do you mean?
That's right.
It seems that I'm good at what I do.
You . . .
That's about it.
I see.
But . . . I'm going to be okay. I know I will.
I know I'm going to live a happy life.
Oh? Why?
Because . . .
What?
Something Haruki wrote in his letter..
Huh?
In case he didn't come home from the war,
he asked me to give this to you.
He wanted to tell you how he felt.
[ Machiko ]
He wrote that
if I were reading this letter,
it meant that he didn't make it back from the war.
He said he was probably up in heaven.
He said he would continue
to love me from up above the sky.
And he promised to watch over me.
He said . . .
I was a person meant for happiness.
So I should be confident that
I'm someone who will definitely find happiness in life.
He would be up above,
ready to take away any unhappiness in my life.
That's what he wrote.
Haruki . . .
Isn't it wonderful?
It is.
That's why . . . I'll be okay.
Right.
There was something even more wonderful in his letter, but . . .
Yes?
It's a secret.
I'll tell you what it is someday.
Someday . . .
Really?
I want to know what it is.
Nope!
So . . . did you tell that to your husband?
I told him that Yoko's older brother was my first love, but . . .
I won't tell him about the letter.
It's a secret just among the three of us.
Would you consider this
betraying my husband?
Huh?
I don't . . .
I'm a heartless woman, aren't I?
You . . .
You!
We really had fun that night.
I hoped that we could be like that
no matter how old we were.
So . . .
Ikuko?
Ikuko!
Good morning.
It's delicious eating together like this, isn't it?
It is.
It's delicious!
It really is delicious, isn't it?
It is.
It really is.
What is it?
I was just thinking it's only women here.
Oh?
That's true!
You too, Hinako!
Really? The radio?
Yes.
Aren't you lucky?
Yes, I am.
How is it going with you?
Well . . .
how should I put it?
It's going well.
How so?
Um . . .
I'm beginning to enjoy my studies,
and I feel like I'm getting a little closer to my goal. I can see it now.
Really?
It's still from a distance, but
it's better than not seeing it at all, right?
Right.
Without a doubt, I'll become a doctor someday.
One time . . .
you wrote about it in a letter.
About the person who saved you during the massive air raid on Tokyo.
Mr. Uehara, wasn't it?
I'm going to become a good doctor
to make up for him.
Oh?
I'll be waiting.
Oh.
What?
Huh?
Eh?
Everyone was trying to find happiness, without forgetting the sadness in their lives.
That's the kind of time it was.
We would take it slowly.
You need a little more training.
I do, don't I?
I'll try my best.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
