Ehh...!
It's true! It was a bear this size! A bear!
It surprised me.
I did a desperate escape on my 'cycle.
Muneo (Uncle)
A bear appeared and I bearly made it! Like that.
Yer laughs are great.
Since my wife doesn't laugh at all.
At most she's like this. "Hmph."
Hmph!
Ah, that's right. Almost fergot 'bout dis...
Yer New Year's gifts.
Dis is from me. Mineko, here.
Thank you...
Yeah. Chiyoko, here.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Ehh!
Here, Susumu.
Thank you!
Thank you, Muneo-san.
Thanks.
No, no.
How much did you get, Onee-san?
Oh, Mineko, got a minute?
Help me with this.
Yes.
Okay!
Oh! Found it, found it!
Dis brings back memories.
Eh? A radio?
Do ya know of da Beatles?
What's that? Don't know 'em. Singers?
Yeah.
De're a British singing group.
British?
Yeah.
Ehh... Eh? Then what? They speak English?
'Course dey do.
Ehh... Then you know English, Muneo-san?
I don't. Yer da one learnin' English in high school.
I am learning it, but I'm no good at it. Since I got nothing to use English for.
Ya never know about dat.
I do know.
It just ain't comin' on...
Though I wanted Mineko ta hear 'em.
It's no use.
Well... I thought if it was 'bout da Beatles, it'd be somethin' ta talk with young people 'bout.
Ain't got anyone ta talk with; ain't nobody around abouts anyway.
Is their music that good?
Yeah. Mineko.
It's incredible!
Eh?
I... I heard 'em by chance on da radio.
Dey said dat group is very popular in Britain.
I was surprised when I heard 'em! Even more surprised den when I met dat bear!
My whole body went numb.
My hair was standing on end!
Eh?!
It's already gone back ta normal.
Ah... I see.
Eh... They're that scary? Even scarier than bears?
No, no, not scary. De're incredible!
Ehh...
Yeah!
What is a "Beatles"?
Kabutomushi.
(beetle)
Kabutomushi... huh?
Sounds kinda cute.
Just what are ya imagining?
I'm sorry.
Anyhow, they're awesome! Yeah!
The Beatles popularly was primary exploding in Europe.
As their records had started being sold in Japan just within the last year...
...their name was only now becoming gradually known here.
By the way, their concert at the Budokan would be held the following year.
I wonder what will happen with Muneo-san?
Dat is, somehow...
...it's like der music is liberating, Mineko.
Ya got a serious reason fer goin' off ta Tokyo...
Hmm... it'll be tough going der; even if ya are young...
...but I'm sayin' I don't want ya carryin' dis burden all alone...
...and ta live yer life more as ya please.
As I please, huh...
I don't know what that is, somehow.
Huh?
You say, "as I please"...
...and at high school they say, "Young people from here on..."
"...will be able to choose how to live as they please." But what is "how I please"?
I love doing what's right here before me and doing it with all my might.
I don't have the least want for anything else.
Is there something wrong in that?
Ain't nothin' wrong in it.
I'm sure it's 'cause I'm just a boring person.
Don't say fool things.
Der are boring people everywhere.
So don't say such fool things.
Yeah...
Yeah.
Well, ya'll get ta hear 'em someday. Maybe dey'll change yer life.
Yeah. All right.
And den, once ya've gone ta Tokyo...
...send me anything ya find 'bout da Beatles; magazines, or whatever.
I'll send ya money fer 'em. Okay?
All right.
Can't get no info on 'em hereabouts.
All right, already.
1965/Showa 40 - January 7th
Winter break is over and her third semester starts today.
Ohayou!
Huh? What's dat?
Wonder if Mineko's feeling downhearted...
Since it seems her Dad didn't come home.
Tokiko!
Whaa... she's in good cheer.
Happy New Year.
Are you okay, Mineko? About your Dad...
Yeah. He didn't come back.
Yeah. I see.
But, Tokiko.
Yeah.
I'll be going to Tokyo.
Eh? You are?
Yeah. I've decided to work in Tokyo.
I see...
Huh? What's up?
Nothing.
I see, Mineko. Yer goin' ta Tokyo, huh?
That's right.
I see...
Eh?
What is it?
What's with you two? Not happy that I'll be going with you?
No, I'm happy with dat.
Then, what is it?
Well, dat's a tough thing da go saying now, ain't it?
Right, Tokiko?
Eh? Why?
Well, after all, Mineko.
Da season fer finding a job ended long ago.
Eh?
Der won't be anyone recruiting anymore.
Ah... that's right...
Oh no... I didn't consider that at all.
Yet I've been declaring that to everyone...
Say... what'll I do?
What'll I do...
What do I do?
Is it impossible, Sensei?
Tagami-sensei
Mineko.
Basically, all recruiting is over with.
In other words, all the companies have made their decisions.
And I haven't heard about any additional recruiting being done for this year...
Hmm...
Please.
Since... Since I'll take anything!
Anything will do; I just can't not go!
Whatever kind of job it is; I'll work hard at whatever the work is!
Anything will do, Sensei!
Mineko.
Don't joke around like that!
Eh?
You don't have to do that.
You are my precious student.
Saying, "I'll take anything" and "Any kind of work is fine"...
I won't introduce you to a job if you're going to be that way.
Don't go saying, "anything will do."
Got that?
Yes... I'm sorry...
As long as you understand.
I fully get the situation.
Give me a little time to see if I can get some things moving.
Wait a little while, okay?
So, go home for today. Okay?
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Please help me out with this.
Yeah.
What's with that expression, Mineko?
Because...
Leave this to me. I'll do something about it.
Thank you, Sensei.
Yeah...
How'd it go, Mineko?
Sensei said he'd look for one for me, though.
Yeah.
I'm such a fool, aren't I?
Just happily going along without thinking things through...
Such a fool. I really am a fool!
If nothing can be done for you...
Huh?
If nothing can be done for you...
...then I'm fine with you going in my place, Mineko.
Eh?
What are you saying, Tokiko?
Let's do that! No, we WILL do that!
There's no way I could do such a thing.
Then what will you do?!
What will I do...
I'm not sure, but... If it's impossible, I'll just have to give up.
What'll you do if you have to give up?
I don't know!
But... I just couldn't do something like taking your place, Tokiko.
Thank you...
You've made me happy.
Thank you, Tokiko.
Let's go home! Sorry for keeping you late!
Yes! Ah, is that right... Adding another person would be difficult, huh...
I understand. Thank you very much.
Ah, the student will be under my care until April.
Please tell me if anything does open up. Yes.
Tokyo - Mukojima
Hello, this is Mukojima Electric. Ah, yes. Please wait just a moment.
Aiko-san, you have a call.
Yes, yes, I'm taking the call. Hello?
Mukojima Electric - Nagai Aiko
Let's see...
Ah, yes, yes.
Eh... from Ibaraki...
Tagami-sensei of Hitachi High School.
Truth is...
Um, I have one additional student who's hoping to get a job in Tokyo...
...so I was wondering if a spot hadn't opened up over there.
Eh? One more person?
Hmm...
I'm sorry, we've reached our limit on who we're hiring...
Yes... Yes...
Eh? Ah, through April!
Yes! Yes!
Dad...
...what will become of me?
My own stupidity and over-optimism have made me feel so pathetic.
