Don't you want to know about your mother?
Her dream was to become a teacher.
But my husband wouldn't allow it.
He said that women didn't need to work.
I want to take the Navy's preparatory pilot training program exam.
You made a decision as a man, so do your very best.
I will.
So you wanted to be a teacher, too, Mom?

What do you want to be when you grow up, Yoko?
What about you, Yuki?
I want to be a teacher.
Yuki!
Yoko!
Machiko Sensei said that even if I'm working,
I can still study, so to do my best.
Yuki!
I had been copying my textbooks every time
I got a new one, and sent it to Yuki.
But for about a year, I didn't get any response from Yuki.
Still, I continued to send them to her.
Tanaka Yuki
Yuki!
"How are you, Yoko?
I'm going to Kobe.
I don't think I'll ever be going back to Azumino.
But I wanted to see you, so
I got a half-day off to go to Azumino to see you.
If you can, will you meet me?
On December 3 at 1:00 pm,
I'll be waiting at the Ariakeyama Grade School.
Yuki"
Yuki!
Yoko!
Yuki!
You're all grown up, Yuki.
You too! You look good in your girls' high school uniform.
Thank you.
Last year, I moved from Nagoya to Gifu, and
I haven't written to you at all. I'm sorry.
But you came to see me. I'm happy.
Me too.
Thank you for copying your textbooks
all this time. It must have been hard.
No, not at all.
I've been studying all this time. I didn't have much time, but
I studied them hard and remembered everything.
Really? I'm so happy.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
Well . . . I'm going to Kobe.
And it's thanks to you.
Huh?
I can do math, and write,
and I understand a little English.
That's why the company president praised me,
and asked me to work there as an employee.
That's great! That's so great! So great!
You have no idea how much your support mattered to me.
No matter how hard things were,
I . . .
I knew that I always had a friend.
That's why I could work so hard.
Yuki . . .
Thank you, Yoko.
Yuki . . .
I made up my mind! I'm . . .
going to be a teacher.
After I graduate from high school, I'm going to teaching school,
and become a teacher!
Really? Will you really do that?
- I'm so happy. - Honestly?
I'm happy. You're going to be a teacher?
Yoko . . .
To me . . .
all the textbooks that you copied for me
were my teachers.
That's why
without realizing it,
you were already a teacher.
Yuki . . .
Yuki!
Thank you!
Iida Kotaro Sensei . . .
Yuki and I kept talking for as long as time allowed.
What had happened to me up until then,
and what had happened to Yuki up until then,
so no matter how much time we had, it wasn't enough.
- Yoko . . . - What?
Try standing over there.
Really?
Okay?
It's all right. Just do it.
Hurry!
Yoko Sensei?
Tanaka Yuki . . .
Yes?
Oh, that's very good.
We've both grown up . . . haven't we?
Well, I have to be going.
This time our parting isn't as sad as it was before, is it?
That's true.
Yuki?
Oh? It's Takeo!
He hasn't changed at all.
What are you doing here, Takeo?
The teacher asked me to bring charcoal.
What are the two of you doing here?
I came to see Yoko, but I'm leaving now.
Oh . . .
See you!
Hey, Yuki!
Take this . . . from Azumino.
Thank you.
You still love Yoko, don't you?
Shall we go?
The next time I saw Yuki, we were even more grown up,
and I would be surprised at the Yuki I met then.
So what happens to Yuki after that?
It's still a secret.
But I'm so glad that Yuki found happiness.
She changed her fate with her own strength, didn't she?
I'm so glad.
Hello . . .
Welcome.
Pardon the intrusion.
Enjoy your stay.
You're Yuki, aren't you?
What?
That's it! I'm sure it is.
From the way the story is going, I'm sure it is.
You're Yuki, aren't you?
I'm sure of it!
Yuki . . . you worked hard.
You're admirable. You really are!
Excuse me . . . Fusako?
Yes?
You're wrong.
So you're not her? I'm sorry.
That's okay.
From the way the story was going, I was so sure it was you.
Well, Sensei, I'll leave the rest to you.
Thank you.
I'll be going.
Um . . . she called you "Sensei" just now, didn't she?
She's one of my students.
What? Your student? What?
What is your student doing here? What's going on?
Actually . . .
I was close to telling you.
I hadn't become a teacher yet.
I'm sorry. You're right.
Let me continue.
I see.
You want to be a teacher, Yoko.
Yes.
I see.
All right. Do your best!
I will. Thank you.
Children are our country's treasure.
A teacher has the important job of raising those treasures into respectable adults.
- Yes. - So do your best.
I will!
- Do your best, Yoko. - I will.
But Dad . . . there's one thing I'm worried about.
Oh? What is it?
If I get into teaching school, I'll be living in the dormitory for two years,
and if Shige passes the exam, he won't be here either,
and then you'll be left here alone.
Is that what you were worried about? Don't worry, I'll be just fine.
What's wrong?
When you put it like that, as someone who's been taking care of you, it makes me feel . . .
No, I didn't mean it like that, Yoko. Of course, it'll be hard if you're not here,
but knowing that you two are doing your best,
I'll be fine. That's what I meant.
Thank you.
But you two . . . why couldn't you both tell me at the same time?
What?
I'll have to go get another good luck charm, won't I?
I'm sorry.
Mom wanted to be a teacher, too, didn't she?
Is that right?
Did Mom tell you that?
No. Grandmother told me.
Oh. Is that right?
I'm sure Mom is happy.
Well, let's eat.
I thought I had my future plans all in order,
and I was going to be a teacher,
but there was an unexpected pitfall awaiting.
So you made up your mind?
- You're kidding! - Didn't you know?
I thought so.
What should I do?
Sunshine
Yuki . . .
I made up my mind!
I'm . . . going to become a teacher.
After I graduate from high school, I'm going to teaching school,
and become a teacher!
A teacher?
Yuki!
Sunshine Chapter 5 "HEARTBROKEN" Episode 26
- Yoko! Wait! - Good morning!
- Did you tell him? - I did.
- So you decided? - Yes.
Did your father say it's okay?
I'm so glad, Yoko.
Thank you.
- So you're going to teaching school? - Yes.
But will you be okay, Yoko?
About what?
That's right. Will you be okay with that?
About what?
It's not just a written examination, is it?
Huh?
There's a sewing test, too, isn't there?
What?
Yes, there is.
What? You're kidding.
Didn't you know?
I thought so!
What am I going to do?
Are you going to give up?
I wouldn't!
Your only choice is to learn how to do it, right?
That's impossible. My other subjects are so hard!
There's nothing we can do.
Are you giving up, after all?
I can't give up.
Since the collar is difficult, pay attention
and make sure you don't sew in the wrong place.
Okay.
What's wrong, Ms. Sudo?
Nothing. I was just thinking how much I enjoy sewing.
What?
This is done backwards!
Sweets
- Hello! - Hello!
Welcome.
We'll have the usual, Uncle.
Okay.
What am I going to do?
Thank you.
It's absolutely impossible.
Ikuko? Are you taking the Tokyo Women's College exam?
I am. No matter what my dad and mom say, I'm doing it.
Are you studying for it?
English might be a little hard.
I see.
I can't be helped. You two.
I'll teach you both.
- What? - Really?
Because no matter how you look at it, I'm the only one who can.
Thank goodness!
Machiko, my saviour!
But I'm going to be strict.
Please be nice to me.
No!
Okay.
So, let's get started.
Okay!
How about sweets?
- Yoko? - What?
From that day on, Ikuko and I began studying really hard.
Our teacher was Machiko.
Okay.
Be careful over there.
It's very detailed.
Okay.
We're going to work hard today.
Let's go, let's go!
Hurry! Hurry!
You've gotten good at it, haven't you?
I wonder . . .
Make it a little more detailed.
"I, my, me, I'm"
Is it camouflage?
"Chubby little Gen-chan is melancholy; the crunchy pickled daikon and
the slippery somen noodles, somen, ramen, and the candy store lady."
That's funny!
Excuse me!
Coming!
Excuse me.
I'll be right there!
What's wrong?
What is it?
Are you okay, Machiko?
About what?
How should I put this?
When we think about your feelings, we're thinking
that we're asking you a terrible favor.
Do you mean that it must be hard for me because
I'm not continuing my education?
It's true. I think it's such a waste.
A waste?
Not going to college when I'm so good at my studies . . .
I think it's a waste.
But I couldn't be happier as long as I
can help my two best friends.
Machiko!
Thank you, Machiko.
So don't goof off, and keep on working.
We will!
This is just for me.
That's not fair!
Hey, I want one too.
Me, too!
It's good, isn't it?
It's good.
Sudo Haruki
Haruki's letter wasn't
particularly important . . .
All he wrote was that he was going to be home on New Year's Eve.
And he sent a picture that they took at
one of the dormitory's celebrations.
Haruki . . .
I'm sorry!

Do you have a Chinese character dictionary?
I might. Just a minute.
Let's see . . . I'm sure it was around here.
I found it!
Here you go.
Thanks.
Is there anything else?
No . . .
Thanks.
It was New Year's Day, 1939.
In many ways, it was an unforgettable New Year's.
Starting with the following New Year's Day,
based on the reason that there were people fighting on the battlefields,
we were forbidden from putting up the auspicious pine branches.
And so it was our last pine branch decoration.
Please be good to us again this year.
Please look after us.
Here you are.
Then we'll eat.
Happy New Year!
Well, then, shall we eat?
Here it is!
That's awesome.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Let's eat.
And this was the last year that the four of us sat down together for a
quiet meal on New Year's.
It's delicious!
The colors are beautiful, too, aren't they?
You worked hard, didn't you, Yoko?
New Year's in Azumino was really cold.
When I remember that New Year's, the first thing is how cold is was.
After cleaning the house for New Year's,
it seemed as if it were even colder.
And I was sleepier than usual.
That's right, that's right. I'm changing the subject, but
I made the traditional New Year's food
together with Takeo's family. I stayed up all night.
I tried to imitate my mother's cooking
and learned how to make Azumino's tradional New Year's food from Takeo's mother.
And we divided it between the two families.
Yoko . . . you've gotten better, haven't you?
Really? Thank you.
How is the mochi soup?
It's very good.
That's right, Dad . . .
Kawahara is coming over to visit us tonight.
Oh, is he?
It's hot!
Are you okay, Yoko?
I'm fine. I'm sorry.
And it was a New Year's when I experienced my very first heartbreak.
And it was the most shattering heartbreak that I've ever experienced.
Even remembering it now, it makes me cry a little.
Thank you.
I'll be right back.
- Are you going for your first shrine visit? - Yes.
With my friends . . .
Have a nice time.
I will. I'll see you all later.
Thanks for waiting. Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
Shall we go?
What did you pray for?
It's a secret. It's something I can't tell anyone.
What do you mean? What was it?
I can't tell, because it's a secret.
What about you, Machiko?
Mine was quite complicated, so if I tell you about it,
it'll take too long, so I won't.
Really?
Is that right?
What about you, Yoko? You seemed to be muttering a lot, and praying.
- Muttering? - That's right.
You were really saying a lot.
I was not.
Yes, you were.
I was?
How embarrassing! I had so much to pray for that I thought I had to hurry.
Is that why you had that expression on your face?
Huh?
I didn't do that!
Yes, you did.
Didn't she? So, what did you pray for?
I won't tell. I'll never tell you!
I was so happy then.
Without knowing what was about to happen . . .
- Tell us! - I can't say!
Sunshine
Haruki! I'm sorry!
Kawahara is coming over to visit us tonight.
Is he?
It's hot!
So, what did you pray for?
I won't tell. I'll never tell you!
Sunshine Chapter 5 "HEARTBROKEN" Episode 27
Happy New Year!
Please patronize us again this year.
I'll take eight of the red and whites.
Eight red and whites, right?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Please come see us this year, too.
I need more red and whites.
Okay.
About the entrance exam for teaching school . . .
and my family's health . . .
that my father's work will go smoothly . . .
that Haruki will successfully become a doctor, and Shigeki will pass his exam . . .
and not get hurt . . . and my grandmother's good health.
You want it all, don't you?
But that's not all, is it?
That's right. That isn't everything, right?
That Mr. Kawahara and...
You prayed you could marry him!
No, I didn't pray for that!
I prayed that I could meet him again.
You're so modest, aren't you?
Right?
Oh, there's still more.
More?
You really are greedy, aren't you?
I prayed that our friendship will continue forever.
- I prayed for that, too. - Me, too.
What is this?
Make yourselves at home.
We will.
They're busy, aren't they?
Thank you.
Yoko . . .
Come to think of it, you haven't talked much about Mr. Kawahara recently, have you?
Haven't I?
You were thinking of giving him up, right? In deference to me.
No . . .
I see. Is that it?
You'll make me angry if you do that.
That's not being a real friend. Do you understand, Yoko?
I do.
That's good.
Actually,
he's coming over tonight.
Kawahara?
To ask for your hand in marriage?
Of course not!
Is he spending the night?
Probably . . . because he's coming at night.
That's indecent!
It's not like that . . .
What's indecent? What is it?
It's not me, it's Yoko.
What is it about?
It's not true!
That was the peak of my happiness.
I had no idea what was going to happen.
Stop it!
That was fun.
You got a lot, didn't you, Dad? (New Year's greeting cards)
I should be grateful.
Um . . . I . . .
realized something terrible.
Something terrible?
What is it?
It's about Yoko.
What about Yoko?
It seems she's in love with Mr. Kawahara.
She is?
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
Really?
I'm not mistaken.
You sent a picture to Yoko, didn't you?
The one with Kawahara?
- She folded it. - Folded it?
In half like this. You were on the back.
I was on the back?
Is that right?
Earlier she looked surprised when she found out Kawahara was coming,
and she's been nervous and can't seem to calm down.
Was she?
She was.
How was it when she met you two in Matsumoto?
Oh, well . . .
Yoko, you're the only one who knows everyone, so you have to introduce us.
I'm Sudo Yoko.
What?
It's just as I thought.
What is?
She must have already been in love with him at that time.
Remember that passing gas incident?
The "passing gas" incident?
Yoko!
Huh?
You make it sound like I did it.
Now that you mention it . . .
She shouldn't have gotten that angry. And she was about to cry, too.
- I'm right, aren't I? - But wait a minute. That was the first time she met Kawahara.
It was love at first sight.
I wonder if he's Yoko's first love?
Probably. It's the first time I've seen her acting like that, and
there aren't any men around here either.
Except for Takeo.
It's her first love.
It must be.
Must be.
Hey, wait a minute! Kawahara said he's going to Manchuria after he graduates, right?
He did.
Does that mean Yoko's going to Manchuria, too?
You don't have to think that far ahead, Dad.
He's not here yet, Dad.
Just stay calm . . .
we have to do everything we can so that Yoko doesn't realize
that we know how she feels. Do you understand?
Okay.
But why did you have to bring that up now, Shigeki? If I hadn't known, it wouldn't bother me.
You could have told me tomorrow.
That way, I wouldn't be so nervous.
He's right, Shige. You made it hard for us!
What?
I'm sorry.
Manchuria?
Dad, I told you...
I know, I know.
I'm home!
She's home.
Stay calm.
♫ You in Manchuria . . . ♫
I'm home.
Welcome home.
- Welcome home. - Welcome home.
- Is anything wrong? - No, nothing's wrong.
There's nothing wrong, is there?
No, nothing's wrong.
You're acting strange.
Will Mr. Kawahara be here soon?
Yes, probably.
In that case, I'd better get things ready.
Do you think I should change?
Or should I stay like this since we're having a guest? Am I overdressed?
Huh? No . . . um . . .
I think that's fine. You look adorable.
Look?
I think Kawahara prefers a kimono.
What?
Kawahara's been living in the dormitory and
he hasn't gone home, so he'll
probably want to feel the atmosphere of New Year's such as your outfit.
You're right. I guess I won't change.
Here. This is for you.
Thank you.
♫ You in Manchuria . . . ♫
Murakami Shop
There are four of these.
Excuse me!
Hello!
Happy New Year!
Hello.
Welcome.
Well, come on inside.
Thank you.
Actually, I brought someone.
Come here.
Tae?
In any case, come inside.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
I'm sorry this is so sudden.
Not at all.
First of all, Happy New Year's.
Thank you. I'm counting on you again this year.
Okay.
What's going on, Kawahara?
What?
Why are you here with Tae?
Do you know her, Haruki?
Yes. She works at a cafe near our school.
I see.
I'm Tae. I'm pleased to meet you.
Sudo . . . I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
Ms. Nonaka Tae and I have been dating.
It's been a year now.
Huh?
You have?
Yes, we have.
Oh, I see.
I went home once to Kofu, and told my parents about her.
Even though they've basically given up on me since I won't take over my father's practice,
and going to Manchuria, they're still strongly opposed to our relationship.
They told me never to come home again.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Ever since Sudo told me about this family,
and I came to visit once, I've come to love this house
and everyone in the family, too.
My family home seems somewhat cold.
My family isn't as warm as this family.
So I wanted to
receive the Sudo family's blessing.
I'm sorry for being so selfish.
It's okay.
- Blessing? - Yes.
This is the first time she's going to hear this.
I want to say it in front of all of you.
I . . . decided to go to Manchuria without waiting to graduate.
Together with Ms. Tae.
I thought we could make our life together in a new place.
So you're not going to wait until you graduate?
As soon as possible. I want to go as soon as I can.
But with someone like me?
She was raised under unfortunate circumstances.
So I want to make her happy.
I . . . love her.
I want to start a new life, and make her happy.
I'm definitely going to make her happy.
Uncle . . .
Sudo . . .
Shigeki . . .
Yoko . . .
Please give us your blessing.
Give us your support. Please!
