1966/Showa 41, May 4th
I see... Tokyo only, huh...
It was announced that starting on May 3rd and only in Tokyo...
3 Performances in Tokyo only
The Beatles
...they would give three performances at the Nippon Budokan.
At the Budokan?
They'll do judo?
(the Nippon Budokan is normally a martial arts stadium)
On tatami mats?
Ain't no way dat could be.
Muneo's Wife Koiwai Shigeko
Whaa!
Here again?!
I'm sorry. Yes, my break is over.
1 Week Later
What's going on?
Voices against the use of the Nippon Budokan
Will they play in a baseball field?
What sort of place is Yomuriland like?
(an amusement park in Tokyo, opened in 1964)
Voices appeared expressing disapproval over allowing the sacred grounds of martial arts, the Nippon Budokan...
...to be used for a bad rock concert.
However, the Beatles were given an award by the Queen of England...
...and it seems that ultimately even the most obstinate of those against them...
...were forced to acknowledge how good they were.
And so they would be allowed to perform openly at the Nippon Budokan.
I wish they'd come to Ibaraki!
June 30th is da 30th anniversary of Grandpa's death.
Don't ferget.
Ah...
For Mineko in Tokyo, Akasaka, things climaxed with a different meaning.
Ah, by the way Mineko, it seems those Beatles will be coming to Akasaka.
Eh? To Akasaka?! Why?
What do you mean?
Ah, I heard about this in the shopping district yesterday...
...but it seems while the Beatles are staying in Japan, they'll be at the Royal Hilton in Sanno.
Seems that's still a secret, though.
Really? Not the Imperial Hotel?
It seems so.
Ehh...
That's probably likely.
Why? Why?
Was it yesterday...? A man from that hotel comes here sometimes.
Takashima-san? I did see him yesterday.
I heard him talking at that time.
"It's gonna be tough after this." and, "What on earth is gonna happen?"
And, wondering what he was talking about, I came closer when...
...he suddenly clammed right up!
Don't go listening to our customers conversations like that.
I'm sorry.
Still, I am curious. If that's what it is.
It might very well be so. He seemed quite serious.
He said he wouldn't be taking any breaks for awhile.
Eh? Is that right...
And, about what I heard yesterday...
What's that word? "Fan," right?
Fan.
The talk was that a surge of them would be coming here to Akasaka.
So it's gonna be busy for us after this, isn't it...
Don't make such a disagreeable face.
I'm not. Wonder if it's gonna be busy for us after this?!
Kagiwashi-do is saying they're gonna make a Beatles Manju.
(steamed yeast bun with filling)
They really are fools.
Won't the Beatles come here to Suzufuritei to eat?
Wonder if that would happen? The hotel has a restaurant, after all.
That's right...
Well, still, you never know.
They might go walking around the town incognito.
Would they?
Yeah.
Oh no! What'll I do?
What are you so nervous about, Taka-chan?
Because they could fall in love with me at first sight.
Won't happen.
You never know.
They're British. Wonder what they'd like?
I hope they come.
I want them to eat Suzufuritei's cooking.
I feel certain they'd say it's great.
Only an honor student like you would say such things.
Really?
Well, still, the Beatles wouldn't say it's great.
Why not?
Because "great" is a Japanese word.
Then what would they say in English?
Eh?
Great!
Such a fool...
You'd like to study cooking in the U.K., right?
Yes!
We're looking forward to this, aren't we?
Um...
Oh, what is it?
I have a little favor to ask of all of you...
Huh?
What is it?
Um, well... Wait just a moment, please.
What is that? Toothpaste?
That's right. Do you need any toothpaste?
What's this? You're selling these?
Ah!
Huh? What is this cutout here?
Actually, if I send in three of these labels at a time...
...then I get a chance at a lottery ticket to see the Beatles.
Eh? Then what is this? You went and bought all these for that?
Yes...
I poured nearly all of my money into them...
You want to go see them that badly?
No, um, it's not for me.
Muneo-san sent me that telegram, right?
I think he really wants to go to it.
A letter from him came, and he's poor at writing...
...so he wrote it with these huge characters.
"I wanna see da Beatles in any way possible."
"Yer da one who understands dese feelings da best, Mineko."
"Right now I'm planning how ta come ta Tokyo somehow or other."
"I wanna see da Beatles right away."
Anyhow, knowing how he can't sit still over this...
...I wondered what I could do for him...
...and so I thought I should get him a present.
Muneo-san has always been there to cheer up my family...
Of course he does that even now...
So I thought, "Ah, that's it!" and bought these at the Tokiwa Pharmacy over there.
But I bought too much.
There's a high probability that those who send in lots will win a ticket.
Mineko, are you the kind of woman who'll ruin herself by gambling a lot?
Eh?
I can understand, but still.
You'll just start pouring your money away.
Well, I don't understand, but don't lump me in with you.
That's true.
Why, when you don't understand, do you not want to be lumped in with me?
Just somehow.
That's your reason for buying all this?
I see.
How about it? It's not a bad product.
Look, um, however much you buy, that's fine.
And besides, it won't spoil! Right, Takako-san...
Eh? Why do you say, "Right?" for?
Ah, since you put it that way, and it has a cutout, I'll take one.
Thank you very much! But...
Is just one enough?
Eh?
Will you really be okay with just one? You'd run out right away, won't you?
I've said it many times over, but this won't spoil.
Toothpaste is important.
I knew it! You're a high-pressure saleswoman.
Then... ehh...
Here!
Thank you very much.
Eh?
Sorry. I'm a bit short of money.
Thank you very much.
And I'll...
Eh?!
Are you sure?
Yeah. Since it won't spoil.
Thank you very much!
What's with you? Acting like a nice guy.
How about us?
Hmm...
We'll take what's left over.
Really?!
How many years will it take us to use all this?
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
I'm very sorry about this, but um...
Would it be okay to collect the money?
Let me get my purse!
Yes everyone, let's go. Yes, yes. Everyone.
I'm sorry. Thank you very much!
Divided by three...
...I can get five of them.
Oh, my, my! Mineko is buying them again, isn't she?
She's quite the gambler, just as Ganji-san said she was, isn't she?
I'm counting on you, Ichigo.
Yes, welcome.
Let's go see the Beatles!
5,000 winners Free Invites!
I really don't know what they're saying...
...but, well, that's okay.
Dad... How are you doing?
I'm buying toothpaste for Muneo-san's sake.
I don't know if I will win...
...but I do feel I want to win...
...and whenever I see lots of toothpaste...
...I can't help but smile.
I want to report that I've won to you, Dad.
I want to laugh about it together with you.
I hope Muneo-san gets to go.
Here!
Huh?
What's that?
Toothpaste?
Right. Seems dis here is a good toothpaste.
And so I done brought ya all dis.
Ah, yeah, thank you. It's a help.
Won't spoil, neither. Yeah.
That's true, huh?
Ah, um, Sister-in-law.
Huh?
Keep dis a secret from Shigeko.
Eh?
A secret! Not a word ta her!
And no letter of thanks ta her, neither. Ya can't! Ya can't!
Really?
Yeah.
What's this about?
It's an important thing, Dad.
Huh?
Thanks ta dis... my war will be over.
Thanks to toothpaste?!
Keep it a secret from Shigeko.
Lets go see the Beatles!
Muneo-san was completely found out, wasn't he?
1 Month Later
Well... this really will be a help. I'll report it at once! Thank you.
I'll contact you as soon as it's decided.
Okay. We'll leave it to you.
So long...
That's what I'd expect of you, Yasuharu. Well, that was incredible.
I never would have thought of that.
Well, this is a, "I'm much obliged to you." Right!
Never mind that; stop praising me.
But you...
More importantly, how could you have done that? Making a promise so readily like that.
Can we even do that?
Well, "can we do that"? What will we do?
My, my, some sort of problem has come up, hasn't it?
Let's remember this, shall we?
Hash and Rice is ready!
Yes.
What time does the mail arrive?
Tomi-san says it's usually around half-past one.
If she is a winner...
...today's the day the Beatles' ticket would be sent to her.
She can't calm down, can she?
Good afternoon, this is the postman. Is anyone in?
Yes.
I'm the postman.
Thank you for your hard work.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
