Kyo-sama!
It was a time when TV was playing the leading role in the living room.
Many young boys and girls dreamed of being on TV.
Number 12, Sukegawa Tokiko-san.
Here!
Tokiko...
You can do it...
Go in.
Please come in and have a seat.
Please have a seat.
It's about that time, isn't it?
I wonder how Tokiko is doing?
She'll pass.
I don't think it will be all that easy a thing to do.
Then you're saying she'll fail?
I wasn't saying that.
Huh? Then what are you saying?
Don't fight.
Listen.
When she comes back, we mustn't ask her things like, "How did it go? or "Did you pass?"
Let's just wait and let her tell us herself.
Okay?
We should.
And so, rather than asking how things went...
...tell her, "You worked hard" or "You must be tired, right?" or "You're hungry, aren't you?"
Those sorts of things. Okay?
Yes.
Ehh... But I wanna know how it went.
I don't think she's saying that sort of thing.
Huh? Then what is she saying?
She's saying rather than your own feelings, you should value Tokiko-san's feelings.
Well, the minute we see Tokiko-san's face we'll know how it went right away.
Humans are such simple creatures.
Huh?
Ehh... and next, Number 13, Nishimoto Shuko-san.
Tokiko?
Shall we go home?
Go home?
Yeah.
They said going home was fine.
"Thanks for coming," they said.
Ah, shall we get something to eat on our way home?
I'm kind of hungry. Okay?
Yeah.
Dad...
...Tokiko and I ate some anmitsu and then went home.
(syrup-covered bean jam and fruit)
It was delicious.
Tokiko didn't say a word about how the audition had gone.
And I didn't ask her about it.
I thought, "she doesn't want to talk about it."
So I didn't ask her.
Hey, cheer up, Mineko.
You look like you're the one who failed it.
What are you saying?
I think all of them will be worried about how I did.
So, let's brighten up! Brighten up!
I don't want to shock them.
If I suddenly said, "I failed," that would trouble them.
So I'll tell them about it over time.
Okay?
All right.
Sorry, Mineko.
What are you apologizing for... Fool.
Ah... they're back!
I'm back!
Welcome back.
You're back.
You must be tired, right?
It was far away, right?
It was far away.
Did she pass or fail?
I can't tell.
Huh?
What is it?
It's nothing.
Which is it?
I can't tell.
Huh? "Which is it?"
Ah, it's nothing.
You must be hungry, right?
Ah, but Mineko and I had some anmitsu on our way back.
Right? It was delicious, right?
Right?
That was nice! Right?
I envy you.
Welcome back, Tokiko-san! How'd it go? Did you pass?
Did you fail?
Dad...
Huh?
It's at times such as these that Aiko-san...
Huh? isn't that what you're talking about?
...is unrivaled.
I failed it...
No!
I'm so frustrated...
It's so frustrating...
Tokiko...
Anyhow... I just got nervous.
And then, whenever I do get nervous, I start speaking with my country accent...
Well then, please say the first tongue-twister.
Yes!
Bugubagu bugubagu mibugubagu. Awasete bugubagu mubugubagu.
I was able to read it off, but it just made me nervous somehow...
Then, please say the second line with tears, please.
Are you saying you don't love me anymore?!
Yes!
Are ya saying ya don't love me anymore!?
"Ya"?
Ah...
In my head I knew I'd gotten it wrong, but I just couldn't help it...
Well then, the last one.
When he said this was the last one...
...I thought, "This is bad. At this rate, I'm going to fail"...
...so that just made me act even stranger.
Please try saying Line 3 while laughing with all your might.
You're shivering just like a fawn!
Yer tremblin' just like a fawn!
(she also mispoke "fawn" with her local version)
"Yer"?
Ah!
Yes, thank you very much.
That will do it for today.
It's too bad, but please try again someday.
Um, couldn't I try just one more time?
I'm sorry; everyone gets just one try.
That's true, huh.
Thank you very much.
So like that...
...I was totally no good.
Totally no good.
I see.
So that's it.
In that case, it should be fine.
Eh?
It was that, wasn't it?
In other words Tokiko-san, you got nervous...
...and so you weren't able to display your true self.
That's true, right?
Ah... yes.
Then that's fine, isn't it?
That's not a reason to give up.
You'll think, "I'll do this perfectly today"...
...but then when you fail...
...you just have to tell yourself, "I guess this will be difficult after all."
You weren't completely awful at it, now were you?
No.
Then there's no reason for you to give up, now is there?
When the next one comes, just bring out your very best for it.
Since your next one won't be your first try, after all.
You won't be nearly as nervous for that one.
Right?
I see...
That's true, isn't it?!
I'll do even better at the next one, right?
I will, right?!
You will.
That's how it will be.
That's right.
It will.
That's right.
It will, it will!
It will, it will, it will!
It will, it will, it will, it will...
It will, it will...
What are you doing?
Why must you two be so stubborn?
You can do it, Tokiko!
I will!
Dad...
...I think Aiko-san is incredible.
I feel I want to be...
...someone like her who can make other people feel at ease like that, too.
And? How did it go with you, Mineko-san?
Huh?
Ah!
You forgot?
You forgot all about Yujiro?!
No, um, it wasn't like that, let's see...
On the contrary, I was just...
You just forgot about it, didn't you...
I'm sorry...
Yeah.
Then I'll leave the autograph paper with you.
For when she goes to the broadcast station to take her next audition.
Right?
Yes!
Yes. I will hold on to it.
Toyoko, be steady!
Stay calm!
Yes...
Are you okay?
Thank you.
Concentrate! Concentrate!
I'll do my best!
Yeah!
Please let me try it one more time...
One more try... One more try...
Seconds!
Your biggest serving of curry...
Ow!
For Tokiko's sake...
...I will send a letter to that person.
Huh?
Not a single letter from Tokiko...
No news is good news, right?
Dat's right.
Geez...
cheer Tokiko up.
"That's why I want you to cheer Tokiko up."
"Please do this for her."
Mineko
"Mineko."
All right! It's now my turn!
"That person"... was Mitsuo, wasn't it?
