So he's your brother's friend?
It's Kawahara, isn't it?
Show a little respect!
Will you sing with me?
♫ Travelling from afar on camel ♫
What kind of man was he?
I'll beat him to death. What's wrong?
It's okay.
Come, and visit. I'll show you around.
Okay!
Sunshine Chapter 3: "First Love" Episode 13
Here you go.
I don't need this.
Did you try this? It's delicious, isn't it?
It's "wasabi zuke" (pickled wasabi leaves)... It's a specialty of Azumino. It's delicious, isn't it?
So?
For dinner tonight...
I was thinking of making sukiyaki.
Look at this!
I don't need dinner tonight. I'm going to be late.
Are you?
Why didn't you tell me that last night?
This is bad...
Takeshi... Takeshi! What time will you be home for dinner tonight?
Look at this. I thought we'd have sukiyaki.
I don't need dinner...
Wait a minute!
Madoka... I thought we'd have this for dinner...
I pass... I'm going to be late today.
Pass? What do you mean you'll pass?
How rude! How could you all...? After I...
You're getting on my nerves so early in the morning...
Getting on your nerves...?
Is that any way to talk to me...?
Everyone's going to be late, aren't they?
Which means they don't need dinner.
They're going to be home late,
so I don't have to make dinner, do I?
I don't, do I?
Azumino, Nagano prefecture
Hello.
What took you so long? You said you'd come right back.
What?
I was waiting for you.
What? For me?
Hurry, and sit down, Fusako-chan.
Fusako-CHAN?
Isn't that your name?
Yes... I'm Fusako-chan.
I'm so happy that there's someone who's waiting for me...
Hello...
Oh, look who it is.
Here...
I brought you some eggplants and tomatoes.
They're nice eggplants, aren't they?
Yes.
How much?
It's free.
That's what I thought, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thank you, Takeo.
Is it really you? Is it?
I thought it was you...
Are you Takeo-kun...?
Takeo who lived next door to Yoko?
I can't believe this!
Oh, no! You really are Takeo-kun!
Takeo-kun... you really are Takeo. You're actually here!
Who is this?
This is Fusako... She's a friend of mine.
That's right. I'm her friend, Fusako-chan.
I don't believe this... It's really you!
I wanted to meet you!
Where was I?
1938... at the beginning of your first love.
That's right...
In the autumn of 1938,
the Japanese army won a succession of victories in China,
and there was new that Hankou had fallen.
People all over Japan was filled with the happiness of victory.
[Autumn, 1938] Everyone was smiling.
And of course, I was one of them.
I remember how my heart danced with happiness and pride.
I thought Japan was awesome.
I think it was about this time that we made comfort bags to send to the soldiers fighting in the war.
We would think of things that would boost the spirits of the soldiers who were suffering out on the battlefields,
and put them in the bags.
Ms. Sudo...
Yes?
The soldier who receives your bag will think it's from a grade school girl.
What?
What is this?
I'm sorry.
Do it over again, so he'll know that it's from a high school student.
Okay.
This is terrible.
Although the world was tinged by the war,
it wasn't the only thing...
For us at the girl's high school, it was still a good period in time.
This is paradise.
Whoever gets Machiko's comfort bag will be a winner,
and whoever gets mine will be a loser.
That's not true...
I think mine is the winning bag...
Are you that confident?
After all, I put Machiko's picture in mine.
Did you really do that?
Somewhere out in the battlefields,
Machiko will bring comfort to the hearts of the soldiers fighting out there.
She'll be their Madonna.
Try and imagine it...
I see!
I'm embarassed now.
Why didn't you put your own picture?
I'm not the type of person who's universally accepted.
I'm too individualistic.
Then you should have put Yoko's picture in it.
No, I couldn't!
After all, Yoko has Mr. Kawahara.
I do not!
That's true... She has Mr. Kawahara.
Doesn't she? That's why I put your picture, Machiko.
I'm so embarassed.
Maybe I should... send my picture...
What?
What's so funny?
Why are you laughing?
No...
Nothing...
- Tell me. - What? - Tell me!
What's so funny?
Just imagine it coming out from the bag!
Just tell me!
Let me go!
Tell me! Tell me!
Run!
Here... we go!
Are you okay?
It was called volunteer labor where the girls' high school would help out at the farms.
We all helped with the work on the farms where the men had all gone off to war.
No one even thought of it as being awful.
Instead, we were so happy and proud that we were doing something useful for the sake of our country.
That's right... My biggest worry at that time was...
I was so dejected everyday.
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
Thank you for the meal.
Yoko... Is something wrong?
What?
A man wouldn't understand.
What?
Good morning, Takeo.
Good morning.
I'm home!
[Sudo Yoko]
[Haruki]
Haruki's letter was an invitation to come to Matsumoto before the weather turned cold.
But what pierced my heart was the very last line...
"P.S. Kawahara said he wants to see you again."
"Kawahara said he wants to see you again, Yoko."
He wants to see you again.
He wants to see you again, Yoko.
Me, too.
Yoko... Is something wrong?
A man wouldn't understand.
What?
[Haruki]
"P.S. Kawahara said he wants to see you again, Yoko."
"He wants to see you again, Yoko."
Me, too.
Sunshine Chapter 3: "First Love" Episode 14
What is it, Dad?
Oh, just...
Don't just open the door without any warning!
Oh, uh...
I'm sorry.
That might have been the first time that I ever yelled at my father.
I can still remember the look on my father's face.
The expression on his face was indescribable.
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
Thank you for the meal.
What is it? Is something wrong?
No...
Um...
I got a letter from Haruki.
You did?
Let me see it.
No!
Why not? You're so stingy.
Don't talk while you're eating. It's bad manners.
Okay.
What did he say?
Oh.
He told me to come, and visit with my friends before it gets too cold.
Is that right?
Yes.
Shall I go with you?
What?
You don't have to look at me like that!
I was just kidding.
Mom...
I can't tell Dad. I'm too embarrassed.
If you were alive,
do you think I'd tell you?
I'm sure I would.
I'm sure my father was unsure about how to deal with a daughter who was coming of age.
Back then, fathers in other households were a lot more high-handed.
But not my father... He was truly kind-hearted.
"P.S. Kawahara said he wants to see you again, Yoko."
Oh, my!
- Why are you sighing? - What's wrong? Aren't you happy about that?
I am, but...
I feel like I'm hiding something from my father...
It's like I'm lying to him.
I wish I hadn't said that to him.
That's it, isn't it?
Falling in love is sad, isn't it?
What?
I can't go back to being a young girl without any secrets, can I?
Don't you agree?
I... don't know.
I've never been in love, and I don't plan to.
- I see... What about you, Ikuko? - What?
That's how it is. That's what's good about it.
- Is it? - What? - Is it?
That's what it means to be an adult.
I see...
"Oh, it is too far."
"We can't, we can't," they cried.
"Oh, it is too far."
"We can't, we can't," they cried.
Ms. Sudo... Ms. Sudo!
Yes?
What was that I heard?
What was that cry? Is that any way for a woman to act?
Pick them up, chop chop! Pick them up, quickly!
I'm sorry!
Dad...?
Dad...
There's nothing to cry about.
There's nothing to cry about. That's what I hate about women.
Are you okay, Yoko?
I think that's awful of you, Mr. Iida. You've gone too far.
Take it back!
It's okay, Ikuko.
No, it's not okay.
It's not that...
It's not Octopus' fault.
Then what is it, Yoko?
Yes, why are you crying?
It's nothing. I'm sorry.
Octopus? Are you referring to me?
Yes...
Huh?
No...
You're wrong, Ms. Sudo.
You were wrong, Ms. Sudo.
I'm wrong?
The correct pronunciation is... "octopus."
Say it.
I couldn't...
Go ahead.
Octopas...
That's wrong. Octopus!
Octopas...
Octopus!
Octopus?
You must use the correct pronunciation in English.
I'm sorry.
Let's begin.
We will start class now.
You're an idiot, Yoko.
It's not funny. He's always glaring at me to begin with...
It's such a problem. What are you going to do about it?
It's your fault.
Don't point at me with your chopsticks, Shige. It's bad manners.
Okay... Okay... I'm sorry.
Dad...
Thank you.
It was nothing.
I'll bring you another bowl.
But Dad, why did you sharpen Yoko's pencils?
You don't sharpen mine.
I just did.
Never mind.
Why? It's not fair.
It's okay.
It's not okay. Why did you?
I just felt like it.
I wanted to sharpen something. There are times when grown ups feel like that.
Really?
In that case, the next time you feel like sharpening something, please sharpen mine.
It's not like that.
- Here... - Thank you.
I'm sorry!
You're late.
I'm sorry.
You couldn't decide what to wear, could you?
Huh? Oh...
What do you think?
It's adorable.
Really?
With that, you'll look ten times more adorable.
Ten times?
That's a lie.
What?
Shall we go? We'll be late for the train.
Okay.
Matsumoto, Nagano prefecture
Isn't that it?
Yes.
Yoko?
What shall I do?
I can't do it, after all.
What are you saying? We're already here.
But...
- Don't give me that! Come on... Let's go. - No!
- What are you doing? Come on. - But...
I'm afraid. I'm afraid all of a sudden.
Never mind! Let's go.
Let's go.
Please... forgive me. I'm sorry! Wait!
No!
Huh?
Yoko?
What is she doing?
I have no idea.
It looks like a "Chaplin" or Buster Keaton movie.
Huh?
It sure does.
Doesn't it?
- Yoko! - But...
Then shall we go home?
What?
You're right. Shall we go home then?
It can't be helped...
But... they're waiting. We can't stand them up.
Wait!
You're so mean.
- Get up! We're going. - Let's go.
Hey, no!
Come on!
Yoko!
Hey!
Yoko... what are you doing?
Do you think they saw us?
Looks like it.
I felt as if the world had come to an end.
Come, and visit us in Matsumoto.
Can I?
Come, and visit. I'll show you around.
Okay.
I won't fall in love.
After all, I already have a fiance.
Falling in love will only be painful. So I won't fall in love.
I can't, after all.
Never mind. Let's go.
- Let's go. - Please... Forgive me.
Wait! No!
What is Yoko doing anyway?
Yoko!
Hey!
Yoko... what are you doing?

Hello.
Yoko . . .
You're the only one who knows everyone here, so you'll have to introduce us.
That's right. I'm sorry.
I'm Sudo Yoko.
Everyone knows that, Yoko.
That's right . . . let's see . . .
I'm Soma Machiko. I'm pleased to meet you.
I'm Tsutsui Ikuko. The three of us have promised to be friends for eternity.
That's right.
I'm Yoko's older brother, Haruki. Thank you for being Yoko's freinds.
This guy is . . .
"This guy?" How rude.
This is Kawahara, my classmate and roommate at the dormitory.
Pleased to meet you.
I see . . .
Pleased to meet you.
- Shall we go? - Okay!
It's hot today, isn't it?
Is it?
I think it's kind of cold.
Is that so?
You're all from Azumino, so this isn't your first time, but...
Yes, I've been here on school excursions.
I see. But no matter how many times you see this castle, it's great, isn't it?
After all, it's a national treasure now, isn't it?
- Was it the year before last that it was designated as a national treasure? - Yes.
I was so proud at the time.
I like this castle because it's black. It's like it's
standing firm and tall.
I see.
That's the moon viewing room.
This is the first floor of the keep, where they stored their weapons and food supplies.
- There are a lot of pillars, aren't there? - Because it's six floors high.
I kept thinking I mustn't look at Mr. Kawahara,
but I kept looking at him.
I thought that the shape of his head was so beautiful, and
that the shoulder seam of his uniform was frayed, and I'd like to fix it for him.
That's what I remember looking at.
I felt so happy.
The stairs are steep, so be careful.
Yoko . . . you go.
Are you okay, Yoko?
Yes, I'm okay.
What are you doing? Hurry, and grab my hand.
Okay.
- What a great view! - It's magnificent, isn't it?
- Yoko? - Coming.
Isn't it great?
That's Jonendake, so Azumino should be around that area.
Wow . . .
Isn't that big house over there your house, Machiko?
Yes .. . that's probably it.
I'm sorry. You don't like to talk about your house very much, do you?
What are you all going to do after you graduate?
I don't know yet.
I don't know yet either.
I'm going to Tokyo.
You are?
I'm thinking of taking the entrance exam for a college in Tokyo.
Are you going to college?
That's awesome.
Did you make up your mind to go to college?
I made up my mind earlier when I looked at the Japan Alps from the castle.
You decided there?
Normally, you would think what a great place this is,
and of course it's a great place, but I thought I'd like to see
a place even farther away that couldn't be seen from there.
If there were interesting things over there, I just had to go see them.
I . . . probably won't be going anywhere.
I think that's wonderful, too.
I think there are two types of people in this world.
Those who long for new things and live their lives searching for those things.
And those who come face-to-face with what they're destined for. There are those two types.
I think they're both right.
Then what about you, Haruki?
I'm the type who will live the life I was destined for.
This guy is the opposite.
There you go again with "this guy."
I'm probably the same.
What about you, Yoko?
Me? I . . .
I don't know which one.
You're neither one, Yoko.
What do you mean?
You're Yoko, the sun, aren't you?
When she was little . . .
- What? What are you remembering? Don't tell... -Tell us!
I want to hear it, too. Don't you?
It was right after our mother passed away. The house had gotten really quiet, and....
Dad
Sorry. Thank you, Yoko.
It's awful . . . I mistook it for water, and
- I drank the little bottle of sake all at once. - What did you say? - There, there, there...
I feel like singing something. Sudo Yoko will sing and dance!
♫ Okay! If we're going to dance ♫
♫ let's dance to "Tokyo Ondo" ♫
♫ the Capital city ♫
♫ in the middle of the Capital city ♫
Come on, everyone. Join me.
♫ Let's dance that now, let's do. ♫
♫ Let's do it, do it, now. ♫
♫ Let's dance, let's dance now. ♫
Okay!
Were you okay?
- I suppose. - She didn't drink any sake. She just pretended to be drunk.
Isn't that right?
Did you know?
That's how she is.
A girl like that would be nice. I'm sure you'll make someone a good wife, Yoko.
Yoko . . .
Aren't you glad? "I'd like a girl like that."
He didn't say that. He just said he thought it was nice.
"I'd like you to be my wife."
He didn't say that. He just said I'd make someone a good wife. That's all.
It's the same thing.
- That's right. - Stop it already!
Mrs.? Mrs. Kawahara?
Kawahara Yoko . . . what a beautiful name!
Mrs.?
I won't wash it.
That was fun, wasn't it?
It was, wasn't it?
I'll see you.
See you tomorrow.
See you then.
I had no idea that a painful love had started growing
in Machiko's heart that day.
♫ If I call you "Darling," ♫
♫ you answer, "Darling." ♫
♫ It's so happy like ♫
♫ hearing the mountain's echo. ♫
♫ "Darling . . ." ♫
