Somehow, I have a feeling that
I'll be here forever.
Forever.

But . . . it seems a little strange . . .
You and the others from back then
were actually here.
That's true.
It seems like the story
is gradually drawing closer and closer to the present, doesn't it?
Does it?
But there's still a little bit more until we get here.
Is that right?
But I've been here all this time.
I've been here.
What an ordinary life it was.
How can you say that?
It was full of ups and downs.
So? A person can view it as an ordinary life,
and it still has its fill of ups and downs, right?
I see . . .
Which means it can apply to me, too?
Of course it does.
I see . . .
Oh . . . is Kazu . . . ?
Oh . . . no,
that's okay.
Did Ikuko and Shige . . . ?
Oh . . . uh . . .
um, never mind.
Machiko . . . ?
Oh . . . forget it.
Oh, excuse me . . .
I brought this for you, Fusako.
- What? - Enjoy this with your family.
You brought this for me? Is it okay?
Try them. They're delicious.
This is so great, Takeo! Just great!
They're delicious.
I'm so happy. Thank you, Takeo!
Not at all.
Oh, that's right . . .
Just before, I saw Machiko in front of the station.
Huh?
Takeo . . . !
Wasn't I supposed to tell?
Oh . . . sorry . . .
What's done is done, but from now on, please be very careful about what you say.
I'm sorry about that.
But then
that means that all of you from the Blank Paper Alliance
are alive and well, right? That makes me happy.
All three of them are full of spirit.
Now, instead of the Blank Paper Alliance, you could call them
the Incredibly Tough Alliance.
Huh?
That's so rude! What do you mean by that?
It is rude, isn't it?
I shouldn't have said anything.
Welcome!
What are you having?
Hinako! I'll have soba with mountain vegetables.
Okay.
One soba with mountain vegetables please!
Okay!
Thank you for your continued patronage.
No, it's a bit far, but I can't resist when it comes to something delicious.
Thank you.
People were gradually coming to Hyakubyakka
just to eat our soba noodles.
And Kazunari still hadn't come back from Tajimi.
Thank you for waiting.
But ever since I went to see him, he was very diligent about writing letters to me.
I'm home.
Welcome home!
I'm back.
- Yoko Sensei? - What is it?
I won the top award for this picture at a competition in the city.
Really? Congratulations! I'm so glad!
Thank you.
This is you, Hinako.
I'm blowing bubbles.
That's right.
It's the drawing you were doing the other day, isn't it?
What's going on?
Mom . . . this picture that Kyoko drew won the top award at the competition.
Really? Congratulations!
Is this Hinako?
Yes.
Aren't you glad, Hinako?
I don't know much about art, but
I love your drawings!
Show it to Dad, too.
Okay.
I'll come too.
Let's go together.
I have an announcement to make before we begin today's class.
Kyoko's drawing was chosen for the top award at the city competition!
That's great!
I'm so glad!
Thank you.
I'll continue to try my best from now on.
That's great.
That's a big deal, Kyoko.
Thank you.
So then, shall we begin?
Yes.
You haven't been to class for a while, Kayo.
It has been. The store has been so busy.
After you finally moved close by to us, too . . .
I feel like you've all been moving ahead of me.
I'm no good at all.
You don't have to worry about that.
Just take your time. The important thing is to continue doing it.
Yes, Yoko Sensei!
But isn't it good that business is prospering?
Fortunately . . .
Shall we get started?
Okay.
It's good that business is prospering.
Thank you.
But . . . I've been thinking lately . . .
I was disappointed in the candy business
during the war.
What do you mean?
I was one of the first to get my supplies cut off.
I tried lots of ways to get ingredients, but
they'd look at me like what's so important about a candy store.
So I started wondering if it was something that wasn't necessary.
It wouldn't matter if we didn't have candy. People wouldn't be troubled by that.
When I thought that, I was so disappointed.
But it seems that lately, people's feelings have changed a bit, haven't they?
They think about stopping by, and buying some candy.
Which means that Murakami-Do's business is prospering,
things are getting better in the world, doesn't it?
Oh?
Yes, that's right.
So I should think that way then.
That's right.
We have to make the world a place where Murakami-Do will prosper!
Right?
That's right. Yes!
That's true. We should.
Here!
Thanks.
Okay . . . shall we take a break?
Yes.
That's right . . . Yoko Sensei?
I saw your father in Matsumoto today.
Really? You did?
He was in front of the movie theater.
The movie theater? My father?
Yes. He was standing in front, and staring at a movie poster.
I see . . .
You didn't mistake someone else for him?
No.
I'm sure it was your father.
Right?
Yes.
I thought it was strange
as it wasn't like my father to be at the movie theater.
I couldn't imagine it.
Our next class will be next Tuesday for those who can make it.
Okay.
I have something to talk to Yoko Sensei about, so
go ahead without me.
Oh? You do?
All right.
Well then, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming. Be careful, okay?
- I will. - I will.
Then, I'll see you again.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
What did you want to talk about, Hana?
Nothing, really.
What?
I was just being considerate of those two.
That's right!
Oh . . . what?
You mean those two are . . . ?
The strange thing is that you didn't even notice it.
I somehow had a feeling, too.
I'm sure you did.
You're no good when it comes to things like that, are you, Yoko Sensei?
Wait a minute, Hana!
I'm sorry. I guess I went a little too far.
You . . .
Really?
Keiko and Kesuke . . . ?
Really?
Oh?
I had a feeling about that, too.
Whenever Keisuke came, Keiko
looked so excited. She was so adorable.
Was she?
Yes.
So you realized it, too?
Me too!
What?
About what?
You . . .
But I'm happy.
It does feel a little strange
to have two of my students getting together.
It just means that you're growing old, doesn't it?
What? I suppose . . .
Excuse me.
What is it? Did you forget something?
Um . . . no . . .
Yoko Sensei . . .
Yes?
Well . . .
We have an announcement.
Okay.
Keiko and I are thinking about being together.
We're getting married.
What?
Really?
You're getting married?
Yes.
Right?
We are.
Congratulations!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Big Sister Keiko . . .
Are you going to be a bride?
Yes, I am.
Congratulations!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm so happy.
I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sensei.
Of course.
Congratulations.
Congratulations!
Sensei!
I want you to be happy.
Sunshine
Keiko and I
are thinking about being together. We're getting married.
Sensei!
Sunshine Chapter 25 "MOTHER'S SMILE" Episode 149
Yoko Sensei?
What?
I'll . . .
give this back to you.
What is it?
This!
I think the reason I found this much happiness is because of that.
Thank you.
What are you saying?
This was something that you and the others found in the first place.
We'll give this to you, Yoko Sensei.
You should keep it. I'm sure something good will happen.
That's why we want to give it to you, Yoko Sensei.
Is it okay?
That's why I want you to hold on to it.
Okay.
Sensei?
What?
There's someone I want to give this to.
Oh?
I got this from Keiko!
I see.
That four leaf clover has strong powers.
I'm sure you'll find happiness, Hana.
I will?
But I'm happy right now.
You are?
I'm happy that I'm able to
come to your class.
And I like to work,
and I like keeping busy.
When I see the bicycles my factory makes on the road,
it makes me so happy.
I feel like I want to tell people that
I made those bicycles.
And also
I got a small raise in pay the other day.
You did? Isn't that great?
So my mom told me to spend the amount of the raise
on myself.
I was so happy.
I see . . .
How's your mom?
She's fine.
She is?
It's not much, but
please . . .
try it.
It's sweet and delicious.
A lot of time has passed, hasn't it?
Keiko's going to be married already.
Keiko loved Keisuke from the time we were in grade school.
All that time.
Is that right?
Yes.
Yoko Sensei . . .
do you remember the time someone at Hiroshi's bento lunch?
Yes, I remember.
At that time, Keisuke told everyone that he ate it, but
the other day, Keiko told me that actually
she was the one who ate his lunch.
She did?
Yes, and
after that,
Keiko apologized to Keisuke.
I see.
And . . .
this is what Keisuke told Keiko.
He said, "You must have been so hungry that you were dreaming,
because I'm the one who ate it."
And so he said I should forget about it already.
That's what Keisuke said.
I . . .
thought that he was really great.
I respected him.
Is that right?
Yes.
Ever since then,
I've loved him.
So, is that what happened?
Yes.
It is?
Everyone is so wonderful.
All of my students are wonderful.
And to think . . . those two are getting married now.
But Keiko said they're not having a wedding ceremony.
Is that right?
Yes.
They're just going to tell each of their families.
She won't be wearing a wedding outfit.
I don't think that has anything to do
with finding happiness.
That's true.
But . . .
What?
We were talking about it once before when we came to your class.
I found a wonderful picture in the book
that I borrowed from Yoko Sensei.
What kind of picture?
It's this . . .
Here, on this page.
Overseas,
when the bride gets married,
this is how she dresses.
Really?
I wonder what they call this.
It's really cute, isn't it?
Is that so?
Which book was it?
Wait right here . . .
This is the book.
[ Dressmaking ]
This is the picture.
Really?
It really is cute, isn't it?
It is.
Then, Sensei, please tell us what to do.
So then, let's get started.
Okay!
I've been looking forward to
this dressmaking class.
Oh, well, that makes me happy!
Let's do our best, Young Bride.
Okay.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Young girls improve so quickly, don't they?
Um, Mochizuki Sensei . . .
What is it?
Well . . .
I'd like to ask you something.
Okay.
It's about this . . .
Oh?
Actually . . .
Are you that worried?
After all . . .
you're trying to make this, aren't you?
Yes.
I guess I shouldn't help you with it.
Right.
All right.
No . . . not like that. Oh, you did it . .
I'll be fine!
Are you sure?
Yes.
Kyoko . . . did you get in touch with everyone?
Don't worry.
I talked it over with Hana, and we're getting there.
Okay, thank you.
Mom!
About the restaurant on that day,
we'll begin after we close for the day.
I know . . . I know . . .
Don't take your eyes off what you're doing.
I'm sorry.
Hello!
Mochizuki Sensei!
Hello!
Oh, my!
By any chance, did you come because you're worried?
Yes, I was so worried I couldn't stay away.
Is it because I'm doing it?
Of course!
Gee!
Never mind. Don't stop, just keep going!
Go on, keep going.
Okay.
Look . . .
I'm fine!
Look, you did it again!
What's this?
I'm fine.
Got it.
Good.
And several days later . . .
Please sit over here.
Please wait until I come to get you.
Kyoko . . .
Yes?
So . . .
what's going on?
It's a secret.
And, when you come out,
she said you should wear this.
It's from Yoko Sensei.
So please wait here.
What is it?
Shall we open it?
Excuse me . . .
Hiroshi! Kanta!
Thank you for coming!
Sure.
They're both getting ready upstairs, so wait quietly down here.
Okay.
You made a lot, didn't you?
I want to eat it already.
Later, okay?
Well . . . don't tell.
Okay, everybody. The bride and groom will come soon!
We're so happy to have you all celebrate
with us like this.
Thank you!
Keiko and I are getting married.
Please give us your blessings.
Please.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Sensei . . .
thank you!
Congratulations!
It was a very happy reunion and wedding.
Dad! Welcome home!
I'm home.
It's the soba noodle soldier!
It really is!
Sunshine
Dad! Welcome home!
I'm home.
Sunshine Episode 150 ♫ In the bright sunshine ♫
♫ and the flowing breeze ♫
♫ I feel as if ♫
♫ I can keep on living ♫
♫ You are my miracle ♫
♫ You are my hope ♫
♫ If somewhere, you think about me ♫
♫ That is all that I need. ♫
What do you think, Dad?
Isn't it pretty good?
I was thinking about the color of soba noodles, and the atmosphere of our restaurant.
Can you tell?
I see . . .
it's interesting.
It is, isn't it?
Yup, it's interesting.
This is good.
Really?
There's so much depth to everything, isn't there?
Oh, how's the buckwheat field coming along?
The field?
That's interesting, too.
I was so impressed with people's wisdom.
How so?
Well, in the field,
the first thing you do is sprinkle barley wheat.
Then before it sprouts, you mix it all and till the field.
And then, you spread the buckwheat over it for the first time.
- Why? - Well, because
the barley you mix in at the beginning makes good fertilizer.
Listen, listen . . .
That's enough already.
Hinako's sleeping, Kazunari.
Oh . . . sorry.
Let's go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I'll take Hinako, okay?
Please.
Here we go.
What's that look on your face?
Oh, well . . .
let me say it again.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Thank you for everything.
Everything?
Did you do something wrong?
That's not what I meant.
Is everything okay over there?
Yes.
I see.
I'm glad.
But I was so surpised when I got back.
I never expected to see a wedding ceremony here.
I'm sure you didn't.
But you weren't here, so it couldn't be helped.
You wouldn't know what was happening here at home, would you?
Right.
When you're gone,
you never know what might happen.
That's right . . . lately,
a customer who looks just like Humphrey Bogart
hasn't come here to our restaurant.
What are you saying?
Huh? Were you surprised a little?
Were you feeling jealous, Kazu?
Serves you right!
What do you mean?
Thank you
for coming home.
What are you saying?
It's only natural.
What's wrong, Shigeki?
Well . . .
um, Dad . . .
What?
Lately, you've been coming home late, haven't you?
Are you busy at work?
Oh . . .
no . . .
it hasn't been bad.
It hasn't?
Don't overdo it.
What are you saying? Don't treat me like an old man.
Okay.
You promised to become a doctor while I'm still alive, didn't you?
. . . I did.
I'm counting on you, Shigeki.
Okay. Leave it to me.
Thanks for the meal.
I'll be going. Sorry to leave you to clean up.
It's okay. Have a nice day.
I'll be going then.
A most unexpected thing happened on a very ordinary day like this.
Have a nice day, Sis.
So then, I'll be going.
Have a nice day. Be careful, okay?
I will.
Be careful, okay?
Okay. I'll see you.
Have a nice day!
It was just another ordinary day.
Thank you!
I'll answer it!
Please be sure to speak clearly.
Hello . . . this is Hyakubyakka.
Yes, this is Hinako.
Mom, it's Big Brother Shige.
It is? How unusual.
Hello . . . yes, it's me.
What?
Huh?
That can't be.
Okay.
All right.
I'll be right there.
What's wrong, Yoko?
It's my Dad . . .
My dad collapsed in Matsumoto.
He's in the hospital now.
He'll be going in to surgery from now.
Dad . . . !
Let's go, Yoko. Let's go.
Okay.

- Yoko . . . - Shige!
His appendicitis developed into peritonitis.
He just now came out of surgery.
But . . .
he has a high fever,
so he's in danger.
How did this happen?
There's a movie theater in front of Matsumoto Station, right?
He collapsed there.
Someone from the movie theater brought him here.
The movie theater?
Yes.
Dad was there?
Was he watching a movie?
I just spoke with
the person from the movie theater.
Lately,
he's been going there every day
to watch a movie.
Every day, without fail.
Every day?
The same movie?
Yes.
It seems he went every day on his way home from work
to watch the movie.
It's not a very popular movie,
so the person at the theater thought it was strange.
So . . .
one time,
he asked Dad if he liked the movie that much,
and what he liked about it.
And . . .
this is what Dad said . . .
Please don't laugh . . .
I don't know that much about movies, but . . .
she looks like her . . .
The actress looks like . . .
my late wife.
Dad!
I felt that I didn't know anything about my father.
I had no idea how my father felt after my mother died,
and how he went on with his life.
I just thought that parents were always strong.
I really had no idea what was
inside my father's heart.
That's happiness, isn't it, Yoko?
It'd be terrible without . . .
Right! Weren't you happy?
W-What?
Happy, right?
Really happy!
Being a mother is hard,
but you become even happier.
