"Tokyo is a wonderful city.
No matter your age, chance encounters are waiting for you.
How many times have I fallen in love?
And so, today too..."
If you don't hurry we'll be late!
Gosssshh!
Oh, don't you look charming?
I hate this. My shoulders feel stiff already.
Women love men in suits, so...
You serious? I am. Out you go.
Really? I don't feel like going anymore.
You're saying that now?
Because, you know, I don't want to do this blind date thing.
After Araki-san went to the trouble of setting this up,
you should at least take it seriously.
Come on... I'm too old for blind dates now.
It's precisely because of your age that you have to do this, you know?
This is not the time for such luxuries.
You see, I love for love's sake.
What are you talking about? Are you aware of your age?
An old man with gray hair finding love now is unheard of!
You little rascal...
As usual, you say the nicest things, don't you?
All right. Here we go! Ahhh. I don't want to!
In that case, you should be the one to go meet with Akemi-chan?
Why do you make me do these things? Stop whining!
It's freezing! Geez... I should've just stayed home.
(Unenduring love)
Come on, let's go already!
Gosh... This doesn't feel right. Oh, stop being so sluggish. Hurry up!
Akane-chan? Huh?
This here is Ueno Park.
It was the very first Japanese public park.
Built in the Meiji era in 1872.
Impressive, isn't it?
You see, at the time, Ueno Station was also called the Orient Station.
...And, if you look up ahead, you'll see the last...
I think that's enough for today...
It's right here.
"Ueno Seiyoken.
A very old French restaurant established in 1872, during the Meiji era.
It's a historic restaurant that appears in many literary works
from Meiji authors such as Natsume Soseki and Mori Ogai".
All right, have a good time. What...
Come with me. Not a chance.
I'll get this over with in no time. Give me 30 minutes.
Fine.
"You can feel the history in this place. Thank you for making the reservation, Araki".
"Well, even more than a blind date,
it would be great if this turned out to be just a normal date".
"My... She's gorgeous".
Ah. Please, have a seat.
Oh...
Oh, I'm very sorry for making you wait.
Not at all... I was just eager to get here and arrived earlier.
Is that so?
Please, sit down. Yes.
Oh... My name is Chika Miyanaga.
Ku... Kuru...
I am Takuzo Kururi.
You're quite an interesting person, Kururi-san.
No, I don't think so.
"Wow... She has a perfect smile".
"To think such a beautiful woman would come to a blind date with me...
I'm a very lucky guy!"
Aaahh! I'm very sorry.
It's... It's okay. Everything's fine. Sorry about that.
It looks delicious!
Yum!
I think the demi-glace here is the best in Japan...
But what do you think?
Approved! Ah, I'm happy to hear that.
It is believed that the hashed meat with rice originated in this place.
Really? Yes.
I'll try it next time. Okay.
Ah... Here you go.
Thank you.
I'm relieved now that I know that you're a great person, Takuzo-san.
Ah, you don't have to say that...
When Araki showed me a picture of you,
you seemed like a straightforward type of person.
Sorry about that.
That's why I told him I wanted to meet you.
"Chika-san, I'm exactly that type of person.
I think I'm falling in love already".
What did you think, Takuzo-san? When you met me?
I was soaring. What?
Ah... Well... No...
Ah, thank you.
Do you like wine?
Well, I do like any type of alcohol.
That's great to hear! I also love to drink.
Oh, you do?
Let me...
This feels great, doesn't it?
It sure does.
I've never been on a blind date before.
It figures.
Me too.
Why a blind date, though?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's fine if you don't want to talk about it.
It's not easy finding a partner, don't you agree? So I thought, why not.
I see...
Takuzo-san? Yes.
Will you hold my hand?
Huh? Your hand?
If I'm holding on to something,
I feel like I really care about it.
Oh...
Well, holding on...
Let's go.
Okay.
I understand it. Compatibility, I mean.
Compatibility? Yes.
"It's the first time I'm feeling such pressure while holding hands".
So, what do you think?
Oh, It'll be okay. What about you, Takuzo-san?
What are you saying? It will be absolutely fine.
"Chika-san... I, Takuzo Kururi...
Have begun to fully consider my fourth marriage.
Ah, I'm sorry.
He definitely didn't get it over with in 30 minutes.
You're Araki, the God now. Araki, the God.
No, I'm glad she suited you.
At first, I thought you weren't really into it.
I'm already taking it serious.
Taking it serious... You mean, marriage?
That's way too fast!
Don't be impatient.
Things like these take their time.
For that, you need a proper conversation to see whether you should do it or not.
No one really knows the path to love.
You got that right.
I wonder if Chika-san agrees with that. What?
Because she seems to be in a hurry...to get married.
You can leave that to me.
I will definitely show Chika-san what love is.
Well, that's why I've introduced you two, Takuzo-san.
Takuzo-san? Yes.
In the past week I've thought properly about you.
You did? That makes me happy.
What about you, Takuzo-san?
I've been thinking about you as well.
You've thought about me? I did.
In what way?
Like, I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
And then, I wondered what place we should go to have dinner together.
Takuzo-san?
Was that wrong of me?
Not so much as wrong, but how should I put this?
I was thinking in a more constructive way.
I'll do it. Thank you.
Huh, constructive?
I'm not getting any younger, so I want to make a child as soon as possible.
What?
Oh, of course even if I get pregnant
I thought I could help you at the store until right before giving birth.
Also, I thought about what could be the perfect timing to introduce you to my parents.
Well, maybe I should do that first.
My parents are rather tired of waiting.
So I thought I should be quick about it.
"So this was about marriage all along.
Just as I've been thinking about.
Even though I've done it three times already".
Takuzo-san?
Ah... Yes.
What do you think, Takuzo-san? About all this?
Let's see... I still...
What?
No, it's just that...
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
I'm sorry for saying all those things so suddenly.
Not at all.
"I'm so sorry, Chika-san".
Let's just eat, for now. Okay?
-Yes. -Yes.
"What I've been really thinking
is that I want to kiss her as soon as I can.
I'm really sorry".
Thank you for treating me to dinner today. It was really delightful.
You're welcome.
Oh, I almost forgot.
About what?
Ah... There it is. Everything okay?
My house key.
I might lose it right away.
I can't get married if I keep doing that.
No, no. Don't do that.
If you can't do it, please say so.
Rather than that, are you really okay with someone like me?
As long as you're fine with it...
"Wait... Does that mean she really likes me?"
Okay then. This is me.
Oh, I'll see you again.
See you again.
What! For real? You're getting married?
You're finally rushing into your fourth marriage?
I wonder if I'm really rushing into it. Wait, what?
What, is your partner on the same page?
Obviously.
Well, it's true. That was the purpose of the blind date.
Ah, wait. Wait a minute.
So, what will happen to me? What about it?
My job. If you get married, she'll be helping you tending the store, right?
Well, something like that... Might happen, I guess.
Really...
Look, Akane-chan...
Since you said you wanted to work at some chic cafe,
this shouldn't be a problem, right? Huh?
It's just that...
What, is there something bothering you?
I guess there is...
How should I deal with this...
I haven't kissed her yet.
What?
So, what do you think of marriage?
What are you talking about?
Firstly, there should be a kiss, right?
I'm gonna kiss her.
That's enough for today...
"First, I want to enjoy some romance with Chika-san.
Marriage without kissing is against my principles.
Am I right? Saigo-san.
That's right. Kiss equals romance, don't you agree?"
Takuzo-san! Ah!
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
No, likewise. Sorry for calling you again.
No, I'm happy you did.
How would you like to spend the day with me in Ueno?
Yes.
Okay then...
Ah...
Here is Ueno Toshogu shrine.
It's a shrine dedicated to Ieyasu Tokugawa
that was rebuilt by the third Shogun Iemitsu.
I know about him. He's quite famous.
Ah... Of course you know about him.
I'm sorry about that.
All right. Let's go.
Yes.
"Can't go on today without kissing her".
Thank you. Here you go.
It's delicious, isn't it? Yeah.
"I'm sorry for this, Chika-san.
I don't care about the ice cream right now.
Allow me to kiss you".
Wait... Huh?
Ahhh!
Wait just a moment. I'm really sorry.
"Damn... No, there's still a chance. There is".
Wow! This is incredible!
Are these sacred lotus?
The best time to see the lotus is July, so we're a bit too late for that.
That's not true. They're beautiful.
In that case, I'm glad.
This is fun.
What prompted that, so suddenly?
It's been a while since I've been on a date with a man.
Is that so.
I forgot what it was like to feel like this.
Ah... I'm sorry for going all weird about it.
Takuzo-san, what's next?
Okay, how about we go to the zoo?
Yes.
"Well, any moment now, I'll have that kiss".
I never thought I would see a panda for the first time at this age.
I'm honored to have shared that first experience with you.
It was so adorable.
Listen, Chika-san... Yes.
I have something I want to give you...
Okay.
This.
Can I open it? Go ahead.
You see... It's because you said you often lose your house keys.
You went to the trouble of searching this for me?
I guess so.
Thank you so much.
Oh, was that inappropriate?
Since I was 20 years old, I've always had this boyfriend.
This is the present that best suits me.
Oh...
When I was 26, my boyfriend at the time proposed to me.
But I turned him down.
I didn't exactly turned him down. I just told him I wanted to wait a little longer.
I was working earnestly, so I couldn't even think about marriage.
It was like that, huh.
But, when I was about 30
I felt like I wanted to marry that person.
However... He had died.
I'm scared of falling in love.
That's why I thought if I forced myself to get married
I just might be able to forget about him.
But I was completely wrong.
During our date, the more fun I had with you,
the more I remembered about him.
I think it's impossible for me to forget him.
So, I think it's about time that I stop forcing myself to forget.
I'm sorry for dragging you along with someone like me.
I am really sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
Takuzo-san...
I'm glad that you were honest with me.
Can you walk with me a little more?
It's got a little windy, didn't it? Yes.
Takuzo-san? Yes.
If I ever change my mind, would you go on a date with me again?
Certainly. I'll be eagerly waiting.
Okay then, I'm going that way.
All right. So long.
That's what you were aiming for all day long, right?
Oh. No, no...
Be honest.
Yes.
Thank you.
Good luck.
So long.
"Chika-san, the next time we meet,
let's fall in love properly".
Hi there! Hello.
Are you looking for a part-time job, Akane-chan?
It's finished!
There's no need, unless this one decides to get married.
What, did it go well? With your blind date?
Wait, what?
Did you get dumped? Just before you sealed the deal?
That's not it. What then?
Should I tell you?
You see, I love for love's sake.
You still on about that?
Are you okay with that? If Akane-chan quits,
your dating life will stagger... Just shut up!
Just get outta here! This is none of your business!
You're old enough to know better and all you do is chasing women!
Shut up! I think it's going to work out,
but I don't like that temper. I don't need advice or suggestions from you.
I don't want to hear anything! Don't come here again!
Things will definitely not go well for you. Get the hell out of this city!
I bet you'll come back to my store cajoling me.
From here on out, do your best in love.
What did you say! I don't know what that means, you goddamn idiot!
Go away! Go away, idiot.
