Koishikawa Eatery
Another bottle of hot sake please.
It's already in the making.
What's wrong? Broken-hearted again?
You're mean.
When I went out of my way to come here because I wanted to see your face.
What are you saying?
You only come here when you have no woman to keep you company.
Is that so?
You're annyoing.
What? You're being so rude.
Welcome.
- I'm alone. - Come in.
A beauty!
That such a beautiful lady would
come through this shop's door...
This is Koishikawa's small eatery where sorrow hangs in the air.
This is your first time here, right?
I was a little nervous when I entered.
Hot, hot, HOT!
So excited after a beauty's entrance. You're to easy to read.
- That's uncalled for. - Yeah, yeah.
Italy?!
You came back from Italy?
Yes. This morning.
Furusawa Hitomi
So you only came back this morning?
From Italy?!
Welcome back.
TN: Okaeri(nasai) and Tadaima are set phrases when somebody comes back from somewhere. Usually used by family/friends.
I'm back.
Welcome.
Back from Italy, huh.
You're cool.
Are you a regular here?
Yes, well. This neighborhood still
has an Edo-atmosphere in many places.
If you like Shitamachi you will love this place.
I see. So you know this neighborhood well?
Should I show you around?
I'm sorry. It was in the spur of the moment.
Since you offered,
would you maybe be free to go on a walk with me tomorrow?
This is like that fateful encounter when you least expect it.
Good thing I came to Koishikawa.
Thank you, Koishikawa.
Thank you, Bunkyo district.
You can't?
No, it's nothing.
If you're fine with me, please let me accompany you.
I want to go with you, Takuzo-san.
Cheers.
This shop is a good one.
Tokyo is a marvelous city.
No matter your age, new encounters are waiting for you.
How many times have I fallen in love?
And today again.

- Say, Akane-chan. - What?
How do you say I love you in Italian?
I don't know.
So fast?! Think a little!
How about you think about it on your own?
How useless. What do you learn in university?
Japanese history.
Bye.
Ah, wait a second.
Oh, did you remember I love you in Italian?
No, but your date today is Italian?
No, a Japanese who just came back from Italy.
- I see. - I see, what?
Nothing.
- Well then, I'm leaving the store to you. - Yes, yes.
Koishikawa Love
A next day date with a woman I only met last night
what a fast development.
Things like this happen.
What other fast developments could be waiting for me?
Well... No, I mustn't.
Impatience is forbidden.
Anyway I don't even know why she's asked me out.
Rekisen Park
I'm sorry. Did I make you wait?
Not at all. I got up at a weird time thanks to my jetlag.
So don't worry.
Oh wow, a sudden body touch.
No, I can't get excited about this.
Since she just came back from Italy.
Touching each other is just a form of communication.
Should we get going?
This way.
Isn't the weather nice today?
Iidabashi Koishikawa is famous for its many shrines and temples, such as the Tokyo Daijingu.
Or the Dentsuin that also appears in Soseki's works.
They're mainly visited for love fulfillment.
But today we're not visiting either of them.
The Kitano Shrine, commonly known as the Cow Tenjin.
The shrine was build around a rock that is said to fulfill wishes when stroked.
It was in the Kamakura period. When Minamoto no Yoritomo took a rest here,
Sugawara no Michizane appeared in his dream, riding on a cow.
He prophesied him two blessings to come soon.
One was the birth of his first son.
And the other was victory in his war with the Heike.
Then after the prophecy came true in the following year,
Yoritomo declared this stone that resembled a cow to be deified
and this is the origin of this Ushi Tenjin (cow temple).
You're so knowledgeable.
No, well I just like to stroll around in the city.
Well I guess it's what we call
both at home and at work now.
I mean the birth of a son and victory in battle.
Public and private, he had both fulfilled.
Would you like to stroke the rock?
- I wonder if I'll also receive a blessing. - Yes, for sure.
Hitomi-san, may I take one picture?
'Kay, cheese.
Do you know Hokusai's 36 Views of Mt. Fuji?
Yes.
One of them, Tea house at Koishikawa - the morning after a snowfall shows
Mt Fuji in the distance from a tea house that was in this area.
Exactly here.
Wow, you could see Mt. Fuji from here back then.
Yes.
Kamakura, Edo (times).
This Ushi Tenji contains the memories of so many people throughout history.
Oh, sorry for getting a little romantic.
Don't be, I like romantics.
Hitomi-san, looks like another history is about to start here
That's good, isn't it?
Excuse me,
Yes?
There is a place I would like you to come with me.
Okay?
Yes. Of course.
You know I used to live here when I was in university.
This brings back memories.
Can I?
It's still here.
The apartment where I used to live with my boyfriend.
What... Don't tell me...
did she invite me on a memory walk around the area reminding her of her ex?
What's this?
If so, how am I supposed to behave now?
Oh, sorry.
Let's go.
No, no, even if she took your hand on a whim,
this is complicated.
He and I didn't have a proper break-up.
- You said you lived together? - Yes.
Even if I say that, it's been ages ago.
Well this means we did break up, right?
It came to a natural end.
Why?
After graduation I went to Italy for a while.
It had been my dream to work in Italy.
But seems he thought I would come back again soon.
But you didn't return soon after.
I chose work over love.
So selfish.
No, it's praiseworthy.
- You think? - Yeah.
Everyone has to make such choices when young.
So I think it was fine that you chose work.
But then choosing love wouldn't have been wrong either.
That's the speech of somebody who has been there, right?
No, it's pathetic.
It's fine.
No, no, Hitomi-san.
Who would do this after talking about your ex?
If you've lived abroad for a long time,
do you just hug people like this?
Then excuse me...
It's audacious but l shall, too.
Takuzo-san.
I have a request.
Hug tighter?
No, excuse me. I didn't mean anything.
I want to meet him.
That's why I came back to Japan.
Won't you come with me?
No, even if you look at me like this...
I want to make it clear.
Because we broke up without a word.
Then why didn't you go with her?
- What?! - Why not?
So I go with her and then what?
Whatching the two get back together? No wanna.
You can only get back so far,
What do you mean?
Let me hear about this in more detail, won't you?
Here.
You said he was her boyfriend when she was a university student?
- Yes. - How old is she now?
I guess around 40.
And then they reunite and get back together?
If they used such a too good to be true plot in a drama I would switch channels.
That's right.
But...
I still pity her a bit.
And isn't that where you enter the stage?
What?
The cure for a broken heart is a new love.
In every era.
Araki-kun!
Well then, Akemi-chan. I'm off. Take care of the shop.
Looks like you're full of confidence.
Oh, really? Can you tell?
It's groundless confidence anyway.
Reality doesn't roll like a TV-show.
That's why there's opportunities everywhere.
- What? - Bye.
Ciao.
What are you trying to say?!
Too bad it's raining.
Maybe it's a sign of her tears.
But don't worry, Hitomi-chan. I'll be there for you at that time.
Sorry I'm so late.
- I just arrived. - Oh, I'm glad.
Should we pray?
A friend from university said
that he has a café in Koishikawa now.
But I didn't have the courage to go alone.
But if you come with me I could muster it.
Hitomi-san?
Should I accompany you until in front of the café?
I'm fine. Please watch over me from here.
Hitomi-san.
Welcome back.
- I'm back home. - Oh, you replied a proper greeting.
Good boy!
Well this is how it should be.
Hey Takuzo-san, don't make such a face.
If I could hug her here...
If I could be such a man,
I could comfort her now.
Takuzo-san, let's go.
Seafood Unikura
As expected, you won't ask.
After I got to see the happy face of my ex,
you could have something to ask.
Is there something I could ask?
Since it's already over I would let it be.
Saying it's over...
isn't that a little mean?
To be honest I didn't feel like coming today.
Because if everything went well for you with him
I couldn't wholeheartedly be happy with you.
But I went anyway.
If me being there would be an encouragement for you...
Then I wanted to be at your side.
Takuzo-san.
So cheer up a little.
I'm having a great time now.
Because I can be together with you.
You're really a great person.
No...
Nice. This looks nice.
The cure for a broken heart really is a new love after all.
Seems like I can reach the goal straight away.
Is that alright, Hitomi-san?
Seems like I can reach the goal straight away.
Is that alright, Hitomi-san?
I don't want to go back to Italy.
I want to spend more time with you.
You're going back to Italy?
On the first plane tomorrow morning, even.
The first plane in the morning?
I should have taken another month off work.
Then we could have become much closer.
What the heck.
She's going back to Italy first thing tomorrow.
Right, I never thought about checking about this.
What a rookie mistake.
Anyway what's this?
I wasn't even rejected, so why does my heart hurt?
What's the matter?
No...
Well...
Let's enjoy our final evening to the fullest.
Thank you.
I'm really glad that you came with me.
Thanks to you I could go to his place.
Yeah. And I managed to give up properly.
Next time I'm coming back let's go on a real date.
Please show me around the places you like.
With pleasure.
Then...
It'a a promise.
Bye bye.
Ciao.
- Hello. - Oh, welcome.
Is Taku-chan in today?
Well he's in but it's like the same as if he wasn't.
He's been like this all the time.
Seems like a serious case this time.
Don't come in like this.
Is that a picture of her?
What?
Hey, give it back.
Is this the one who went back to Italy?!
Give it back already!
Isn't this Furusawa Hitomi?!
What, you know her?
She's a super famous violinist who's active in Italy.
You didn't know?
Not a clue.
So in other words, you got rejected by Furusawa Hitomi?!
That's quite a thing.
And she even kissed me.
What?
No, well, you see, in Italy a kiss is just a greeting.
- You don't have to make up excuses for yourself. - I'm not making up excuses.
So you went as far as kissing her, good for you!
Did you really kiss Furusawa Hitomi?
We did.
- Did you?? What kind? - We kissed.
- Well it wasn't such a meaningful kiss. - So it wasn't meaningful?
Now give it back already!
- Ah but she really is a beauty. - Give it back already!
- A total beauty! - Well of course I...
