She looks like her.
The actress looks like
my late wife.
Dad!
♫ In the bright sunshine ♫ Sunshine Episode 151
♫ 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 about me ♫
♫ That is all that I need. ♫
My father's appendicitis developed into peritonitis
and he had surgery right away.
Excuse me.
So . . .then . . .
You can talk to me.
I'm his son.
We'll talk outside then.
It dawned on me
that Shigeki was the only one left as his family.
The Sudo family used to be a family of five.
Now there were only three of us left.
I didn't want my father to die.
What did he say, Shige?
He's in danger as long as his fever
doesn't go down.
The rest . . .
is all up to his will to live.
That can't be . . . !
Let's wait and see.
Let's wait for Dad.
Right.
A movie . . . ?
I wonder if Dad was lonely.
I . . .
never thought about how
Dad must be feeling.
Dad was always strong
and unwavering.
He must have been lonely.
Of course he was lonely.
He's been lonely ever since
Mom died.
But . . .
it's unbearable to think that
Dad was in the theater by himself
and watched the movie all alone.
I just can't
bear to think that.
You think so?
I . . .
thought that it was
kind of cool.
When I thought how much he loved Mom . . .
thinking about loving someone like that all that time.
I thought it was wonderful.
I see.
You're right, aren't you?
When I think of it like that,
it's kind of adorable, isn't it?
It is.
Somehow going to the movie theater doesn't seem to suit him, does it?
I wonder what the movie was.
It was a love story.
Really?
The audience was probably nothing but women.
I can't imagine it.
I'd like to see the movie.
I want to go see it.
I wonder if the actress really looked like Mom.
I . . .
I didn't notice anything.
Even though we lived together,
I didn't realize he was sick.
I'm sorry.
Just like you,
I always thought that
Dad was strong.
I thought that.
I was convinced that he was.
Right.
No wonder a guy like me
can't become a doctor, isn't it?
I'm hopeless.
Shige!
You're wrong.
It's not so.
She's right.
It's not the same thing.
No . . .
I'm . . .
a little bit ashamed.
I'm sure . . .
if it had been Haruki, he would have noticed.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
Your father is a strong man.
Everyone thought that.
I know.
I wonder
if Dad is fighting now.
Dad?
Hiroko?
Haruki . . . ?
Dad . . .
Dad!
Come on, Dad!
Yoko . . .
- Dad! - Yoko . . .
Dad . . . ! No!
Dad! You can't!
Mom! Haruki!
Please don't take him.
Don't take him.
Please!
Please . . .
Dad!
Hey . . .
Hey, listen . . .
Over here . . .
Huh?
- Dad! - Don't give me that!
Why do I have to wake you all up?
I'm sorry.
Shigeki! Shigeki!
- Shigeki! - SHIGEKI!
I'm sorry.
Oh! Dad!
You're all so unreliable.
Dad!
Are you okay, Dad?
Of course I am.
I'll call the doctor.
Please.
Was I on the verge of dying?
Yes.
I see.
I saw Mom
and Haruki.
Ryo!
Hiroko . . .
can we be together again?
I wonder . . .
Haruki . . .
You have to hang in there a little longer, Dad.
You heard him, Ryo.
That's what happened.
They sent me back.
Dad . . .
You . . .
Dad!
I don't want you to leave me.
Don't you dare leave us.
My father was going to be with me and Shigeki for a while longer.
Mom and Haruki had sent him back to us.
Sunshine
Oh! Dad!
You're still all so unreliable!
I don't want you to
leave us!

Yoko!
Welcome home!
I'm home.
I'm glad! Aren't you glad?
I am.
I'm so glad about your Dad.
Oh, welcome home!
I'm home. I'm sorry for making you worry.
I"m glad. So glad!
So many things went through my mind.
My father recovered, but
I realized he was at that age now.
And that someday that day will come.
And eventually that day would come for me, too.
I thought
about how painful life could be.
Hello!
Pardon the intrusion!
Well, Fusako!
My wife is always indebted to you.
I'm Haraguchi Hiroshi.
Welcome!
I'm Maruyama Yoko.
Well, we'll be sightseeing in Azumino.
We'll come back later for you.
- Please excuse me. - Enjoy your visit.
Actually . . .
my husband was suddenly transferred to Sapporo.
Really? That must be hard for you.
Yes. And so,
and so . . .
today will be my last time
to come here.
Is that right?
Yoko . . .
What?
I owe it all to you.
Huh? What?
Well . . .
if this had been before I began coming here,
and he told me this so suddenly,
I would have yelled, and asked, "Why?,"
and that I was shocked at it being so sudden, and I didn't want to go somewhere I didn't know.
I would have been so upset.
But, at that time . . .
I remembered about you and the others.
Somehow . . .
I was able to accept it without getting all worked up.
It really . . . wasn't that much.
Even if we moved to a new place,
all I had to do . . . was find happiness there.
That's how I thought about it.
You did?
At first, the children
were upset
and said we must be kidding, and they didn't want to go.
They told my husband to go by himself.
If it had been before I came here, I would have lost my head.
But at that time,
I thought about it.
I wondered how you and Kazunari would have
talked to each other about something important like this.
I thought about that,
and slowly,
slowly
started thinking about others instead of myself,
and how they felt,
and I was able to talk with them.
And you know,
the children understood.
They told me . . .
well . . . then . . .
the whole family should go together.
Isn't that wonderful?
You're the sun, aren't you?
To the Haraguchi family.
The sun . . . ?
I really owe it all to you.
Huh?
Thank you!
I didn't do anything. All I did was talk about the past.
That's why I thought
I'd listen to as much
of your story as time allowed today.
Well, that's not easy.
So this will be our last class, won't it?
Yes.
Please . . .
Yoko Sensei.
I want to go to Grandpa's house, too.
I'm sorry, Hinako.
You need to bear with it a little longer.
Did your father tell you not to bring her?
Yes . . . he told me not to bring Hinako and Kyoko.
He doesn't want them to see him in his weakened condition.
I see. Men are so troublesome, aren't they?
I suppose we are.
But don't you think it's strange to tell people not to come
pay sympathy visits until he's recovered?
Definitely.
That's true . . .
If you visit him when he's recovered,
it wouldn't be a sympathy visit, would it?
I'll be going.
Kyoko . . . here's your bento lunch.
Thank you.
You're so lucky.
I made one for you too, Hinako.
Here! This is yours!
It's a bento lunch!
Aren't you lucky, Hinako? Just like mine!
Yes.
Shigeki?
Yes?
Shall I freshen your tea?
No . . . you don't have to do anything.
Huh?
Rather than taking care of me, I feel like you're standing guard over me.
But if I leave you alone, you'll get up, and try to do everything by yourself.
But it's boring just sitting here all the time . . .
It's not a matter of whether it's fun or boring.
It's for your recovery.
But I was finally able to come home . . .
Dad! You're not a little kid.
Go back and study.
Okay.
I'm home!
Yoko . . .
How do you feel, Dad?
Good.
Yes?
Yoko . . . Yokoso (welcome)!
Stop that, Dad!
You were thinking about saying that when I came all this time.
Weren't you?
What do you mean?
Good grief! Talk to him, Yoko.
He's not completely recovered,
but he doesn't realize that he's sick.
It's true when they say you return to being a child when you grow old, isn't it?
What's that?
Did you hear me?
Of course!
But I'm glad to see you looking well.
I suppose. But I'm just so bored.
I don't care about that.
Yoko is on my side.
Too bad, Dad.
So?
Shigeki . . .
What is it?
You contacted Mr. Soma for me, didn't you?
The emperor of Azumino? Yes, I did.
What I'm asking you is
if you told him I needed some rest,
so that he shouldn't come around to pay me a sympathy visit.
Yes, I told him.
I made doubly sure he understood.
You did?
Yes.
Then . . .
what is that?
I haven't seen you in a long time!
Sorry, I just came to see how you are. I'll leave soon.
Okay.
So . . .
hurry, and come back.
There are still
a lot of . . . lots of . . . .
lots and lots and lots and lots that you have to do!
Ow! That hurts!
I'm sorry!
You know, I'm
in a bind without you.
You're more important
to me than my wife!
What?
Yoko!
Yes?
I gathered everything
I could think of that was nutritious.
Here . . . eggs!
And meat . . .
Honey!
Canned goods . . .
Bananas!
Thank you!
Not at all.
Now Mr. Sudo . . .
one of these days
I'm going to run for the Central Government.
When that happens,
I want you to enter the race
for mayor as my successor!
What?
Emperor . . . I refuse.
I thought you'd say that!
- Hello! I'm Ryo. - I'm Go!
- Together, we're - the Emperor of Azumino!
That's you . . . not me!
Who cares about a name, anyway?
You showed promise, Dad.
Here you are.
Looks delicious!
So he'll recover his strength, right?
And your favorite sweet fried eggs, too.
All right.
- There's a simmered dish, too. - And banana . . .
Yoko . . . Shigeki . . .
Yes?
Won't you come sit here for a minute?
Okay.
I'm sorry that I made you
both worry recently.
It's okay.
I'll bet that this what you both thought . . .
"Dad is at that age already . . .
the day will come
when we have to say goodbye."

You don't have to look like that.
It's only natural to feel that way.
I've been thinking the same thing.
I'm getting to be that age already.
The time will come
when I'll have to say goodbye to you.
I've thought about it.
Dad . . .
But this time,
Mom and Haruki sent me back, telling me it was still too soon.
There was
something I never properly told Haruki.
This is a good chance,
so I'll tell you both.
Well . . .
it's like my last will and testament.
Don't say that . . .
He's right . . .
I don't want to hear it.
Just listen.
All right.
Shigeki . . .
Yes?
Yoko . . .
Yes . . .
I . . .
love you both,
not only as my children,
but as people.
I love you so much.
I respect you, too.
That's all.
I'm sorry it wasn't about the assets I'm leaving to you.
No . . .
Thank you.
It's embarrassing, after all.
It is,
but . . .
it makes me happy.
You . . . it's not fair how you always take us by surprise.
I'm sorry.
I've never forgotten
what my father said that day.
Buckwheat Flowers Autumn 1950
Thank you for waiting!
Here's your soba. Please enjoy your meal.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
The tanuki soba is ready.
Okay.
Here you are, Hinako.
Where's Dad?
Oh . . . he went out to the field.
Lately, that's all he's been doing.
He can't help worrying about it.
That's true.
He adores his field.
Eventually, he might end up living with his field.
That's really true.
I saw Aunty Setsuko out in the garden.
What?
Setsuko?
No one's here.
She was there.
She was?
Then maybe she came by . . .
Right.
Lately . . . Kyoko's been coming home late.
I wonder if she's having a hard time with her studies.
Probably, right?
When it comes to art, no matter how hard you work at it,
it doesn't necessarily go well.
You sure were bad at drawing, Kazunari.
That has nothing to do with it!
Really? Was he that bad?
I think he might have been the worst in his class.
I wasn't that bad!
It's not so.
What's wrong?
Can't you sleep?
No . . .
Yoko Sensei . .
Thank you for this yukata (light cotton kimono).
Not at all. It's one I wor when I was a child.
Is that right?
Yes. I just adjusted the length a little bit.
Oh? You can do that?
What do you mean by that?
Of course I can do that much.
Pardon me.
I didn't realize what Kyoko
was so troubled about.
Yes? This is Hyakubyakka.
Yes, please.
Hello . . .
Huh?
Yes . . .
I'm Kurata Kyoko's guardian.
What?
Matsumoto Police Station?
Did anything happen to Kyoko?
All right.
I see.
All right, I'll be right down to get her.
Who?
Ms. Miyazawa?
Do you mean Miyazawa Setsuko?
All right.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
I'm so sorry.
Yes . . . please.
I'm sorry.
What happened, Yoko?
Kyoko was taken to the Matsumoto Police Station.
Why?
It seems she was working in front of the station drawing people's likeness.
She was doing it after finishing her art class.
Gee, what for?
When he saw she was just a child, the policeman tried to question her,
and she tried to run away,
so he took her in.
Oh, and just by coincidence, Setsuko happened to pass by there,
so she went with her to the police station, and vouched for her.
She's going to bring her home now.
Sis!
Kyoko!
Welcome home, Kyoko.
Please . . .
don't scold her too much.
I'm sorry!
You're not hurt, are you?
No . . .
Shall we talk alone?
Okay.
I . . .
I'm nothing but a burden
to this family.
I'd be grateful just for your letting me stay here.
Yet, you let me study art too.
It costs money,
and so . . .
I thought if I could just do a little to help out . . .
And . . .
I thought that
was the only thing I could do.
I'm sorry . . .
Yoko Sensei.
I see.
I suppose you're right.
If I were you,
I might have done the same thing.
I guess it's difficult . . .
It might be a stretch
to tell you to think of me as a parent, that I think of you as my daughter.
You're not my daughter.
I'm not your mother.
But that's okay.
You shouldn't have to force yourself to think of me
as your mother.
I think that's okay.
But even so . . .
we'll still be together.
We'll be living together.
And why is that?
Because I love you.
I enjoy being with you.
That's why we're living together.
Don't you feel that way, too?
How about it?
Yes!
Then, let's think that way.
Don't cry!
Hey . . .
did you make a lot of money?
Huh?
Just a little bit.
Oh?
You really shouldn't do it,
but it's money that you earned yourself.
So then,
give half to the family.
And . . .
spend the other half on yourself.
Okay.
But . . .
you mustn't work on the street anymore.
I won't.
Good.
So then . . .
yes, let's do this . . .
That's nice.
That's good, Kyoko.
It might just work.
It probably will.
What is this?
This is called drawing portraits.
Kyoko will draw the customers' faces.
Is this Hinako?
Yes.
It looks like me!
It sure does.
This is a really nice restaurant.
And your business is prospering.
Aren't you glad, Tokuko?
Come to think of it, Sis,
why were you in Matsumoto?
Huh?
