The place where your Father was seen was around this area.
Excuse me! Have you seen this man around here?
Nope haven't seen him.
Is that right... Thank you very much.
Excuse me. Have you seen this man?
Sorry for bothering you. Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Dad... Hearing that you knew about...
...this part of Tokyo that's unknown to me...
...gives me a strange feeling somehow.
Excuse me. Did you happen to see this man?
Itadakimasu.
Police Box Officer Watahiki Masayoshi
After dealing with all those people, you're tired, aren't you?
I've come to Tokyo...
...but I'm still not that used to going where there are so many people.
Will I ever get used to that?
I think so. Here's what my senior at the station told me.
"It's true there's a great many people in Tokyo, but they're all the same as us."
"Most of those people are not of Tokyo..."
"...but are people who've come to Tokyo."
"They come, and before they realize it, they've become Tokyo people."
"Tokyo is a gathering of such people."
And, thinking he was right, it wasn't so scary somehow.
Ehh...
Tokyo people, huh...
Our troika races along it with a bright ting-a-ling
Hashire toroika ho gara kani suzunooto takaku
Our troika races along it
Hashire toroika ho gara kani
Takashima Yudai
Well then, we'll sing a new song starting today.
Let's see... Turn to page 15 of your song book.
It's the song called, "Coconut."
You're walking along the beach...
...when you come across a single coconut that has washed ashore.
You wonder where it came from.
From an island in the south, you guess. You wonder what sort of place it is.
And then you wonder just how long it drifted in the ocean before washing up there.
You wonder how it must have felt while it was drifting out on the ocean.
It must have felt lonely and lost, didn't it?
It must feel sad for having left the place it was born...
Just like all of us.
Please try to keep that feeling in mind.
Then, let's sing it!
From a far-off island whose name I don't know
A single coconut had washed ashore
Having left the shores of your birthplace
For months you bobbed in the waves
Dad...
We've left the place of our birth...
...so are we like those coconuts drifting in the waves?
Where will we wash ashore at?
Are you a coconut too, Dad?
Have you washed ashore somewhere already?
The sunsets you saw in your days at sea
The intense tears you shed in foreign lands
Your multilayered thoughts at low tide
Of the days back in the country you can never return to
All of them were downcast by the end today.
It's that sort of season for them.
Huh?
Especially for those girls who are fresh recruits...
...who have only just gotten used to the work...
...and are feeling the strains of living in Tokyo...
So it wouldn't be strange of them to be missing the countryside, would it?
I see.
Although it'd be better if Yudai-sensei...
...had them singing far brighter songs that would cheer them up.
But all he does are the sad ones.
That's true, isn't it.
Still, the ironic part is...
Look, their parents send them things from the countryside, right?
And that, to the contrary of what they intended...
...just makes the pain those children feel all the greater.
I see...
And then there's those girls who receive all sorts of things...
...and then there are those girls who don't receive so much as a postcard.
Somehow, that's crueler still.
That "Coconut" is a nice song, isn't it?
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Since my home is close to the sea, it brought memories of the ocean to me.
Did you get any coconuts there?
Huh?
I wonder if they make it to the Sea of Japan?
That's more about the Pacific Ocean, isn't it?
Ah... I see...
Want some hatahata no tsukudani?
(sandfish boiled in soy sauce)
Thanks. You still have some?
Yeah. I've been eating them a little at a time, but I still have exactly six left.
Since my home in Akita is by the ocean, this is the sort of thing they have to send me.
The fish there are delicious, but they can't send that to me raw.
Here.
Thanks. I just love these.
Right? They're delicious, right?
Yeah! Here.
I'm taking one. Here.
Itadakimasu...
What's the matter, Sumiko?
What's up? Has something bad happened?
I feel sorry about this somehow.
All I do is get things from you guys...
...since nothing is ever sent to me from my home.
It's... embarrassing somehow... Please forgive me.
What are you talking about?
She's right. That's just being strange, Sumiko.
Yes. I'm sorry.
There's no need whatsoever for you to feel embarrassed.
Thank you...
I'm sorry. I made you feel lonely, didn't I?
No, that's not true. I'm sorry...
Though we all send them money...
...letters come to each of you...
...while I haven't gotten even a single postcard.
I understand that and I'm okay with it, but...
I don't feel that lonely about it.
I love this place...
And I enjoy it here... Yes.
Really?
That's why I don't think about going back home.
Even if I did go home, all I'd do is get in their way...
Still... I would like to see my Grandma.
Is she in good health?
Do you love your Grandma?
I do! She's very sweet and kind...
I adore her.
Eh?
Look, my Grandma is bent at the hip by this much.
So she can only walk very slowly...
...and can only move forward in little bits like this. Understand?
Yeah.
And then...
Ah, this was just after I had entered middle school...
...but I got hurt at the school and had to sleep at the school infirmary...
...and they said I'd be late getting home.
And then, ah, I was going home along my favorite direct road back...
And I had to go along it like this, with crutches.
And then, from the other direction...
...I saw my Grandma coming.
But there was something different about her.
Somehow my Grandma...
...stood up straight as a pin!
Sumiko! Are ya okay?!
Grandma... your hips...
Sumiko! Are ya okay, Sumiko?!
I'm okay, but Grandma... your hips...
Huh?
Ah, my.
Grandma...
Sumiko!
Grandma. Thank you!
She's that kind of Grandma.
Yes.
Eh? And what happened to your Grandma's hips?
On the road home, they went back to how they were before.
Eh?
Like this.
I was surprised when you straightened up at the hips.
Eh?
Such a thing is strange, isn't it?
You're exaggerating it!
Grandma...
