I am asking you to search for Yatabe Minoru...
...a man born and raised in Ookuibaraki village in Ibaraki!
He has... He has a proper name!
Please!
At this time, over 1 million people...
...came from the rural areas to the metropolitan ones as migrant workers.
On the other hand, the number of people who were lost track of increased as well...
Akasaka Police Station
...to a number that exceeded 10,000 people.
In this world, such people were called the "evaporated people."
A rather sad way of putting it, isn't it?
Um... excuse me.
I am very sorry for calling on you out of the blue like this.
I am from the Akasaka police station's police box in 5-chome.
I am the police officer, Watahiki.
Ah... I'm from Ibaraki.
Watahiki Masayoshi - From Ibaraki Prefecture
I was born in Takahagi.
Ah...
I'm sorry!
I overheard you making a request for a search to my superior just now.
I'm sorry!
And... I thought I would search for your husband as much as I could.
Eh?
I just received permission from the officer in charge.
He said, "If you feel you want to do that on your days off, I don't mind."
Therefore, it won't be that big a deal for me to do so.
But... why would you?
Because we're both people from Ibaraki Prefecture. And not "Ibaragi."
Ookuibaraki Village
Working on that torch relay?
Right.
Say, Grandpa.
Huh?
How many people will come to see it?
Dunno...
Maybe a hundred people will come?
Well, if it's that many, I can call and gather that much.
Oh?! Thank you!
Yeah.
And what is that you're drawing?
That's totally wrong. Draw it far more cuter.
Ehh?
Ah, good evening.
Good evening.
Hide, that's heavy, ain't it? Tough, ain't it?
Maeda Hidetoshi
Yes.
Igawa Genji
Good luck.
Asakara Takako
You can do it, Hide.
Yes...
Want some?
I do.
Owner of "Suzufuritei" - Makino Suzuko
Ah, thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for yours.
We had a lot of people today, didn't we?
We did.
It isn't much, but use it on your kids.
Take them out for some bowling.
Oh. Nothing for me?
I'm joking.
I guess nothing for me?
Really, nothing for me?
Persistent, aren't you?
Makino Shogo
Excuse me...
Yes?
Is your busy time over already?
Ah... What can we do for you?
Sorry for the suddenness of this. Um, my name is Yatabe.
Yatabe-san?
The Yatabe-san from Ibaraki's Ookuibaraki village?
Yes... Um, you know of my husband?
Yes, of course I do. His wife has come?
Ah... yes.
Ah!
We had that manju you sent to us the other day and it was delicious.
Thank you very much.
No, you don't... I thank you, too. Um...
Is something the matter?
Well... I'm sorry.
Is that right.
That must be very difficult for you.
He wouldn't just up and disappear. Never.
Eh?
Well, because the first time that he came here...
...all he did was talk happily about his family.
Right, Mom?
That's true.
The entire time he talked about his family, his face was lit with happiness.
About the meals he would eat at home...
...and, "I'll get to eat it with all of them," he said.
Is that right...
He definitely wouldn't disappear.
Thank you very much.
I'm sure it's that.
Work suddenly appeared and he had to move somewhere for it...
...and he's been too busy to get in touch with you. It must be that.
That's true...
Ah... that's right...
I was holding on to this for him.
He said he'd come back soon and collect it.
Is that right...
Thank you very much.
That set of boxes...
Would you mind if we kept hold of it again?
Eh?
Your husband... said he'd come and get it someday.
And so, until that time comes...
...would you allow us to hold on to it?
Okay?
Yes.
Please take care of it.
I accept and will hold on to it.
While it is in my possession, I will take the greatest care of it.
Thank you very much.
Ah, Ma'am, have you had any dinner?
Eh?
Would you like to have some of our cooking?
You should.
Ah, I couldn't...
Don't be shy about it.
Ah, um... Um!
My husband said he would bring everyone in our family here to eat one day.
So until then, I... I'm sorry.
Well, in that case...
What's up? Can't sleep?
Yeah.
In that case, help me out.
Are you sure? Are you sure I can do that?
Since I'll teach you how. Sit down.
Yeah!
Ah! Like you thought, she is here!
My intuition was correct.
I had said, "she'll be at the station waiting for the first train," right?
Mom said, "She'll definitely be there," and, "Let's go right away."
I couldn't get a word in edgewise with her!
Be quiet you, geez...!
Eat this for your dinner!
Here...
Since we're not at our restaurant, it'll be fine, won't it?
But... why?
Isn't ours a precious relationship?
Ah! This'll be so much fun!
Let's chat about all sorts of things.
She'll talk your ears off.
He's so persistent, geez... And he's my own son, geez...!
Go ahead, go ahead. Now, eat up! Go on, go on.
You're fast at that, Grandpa.
You're skilled at it.
What are you talking about?
Do this every single day and you'd be good at it, too.
That's true, huh.
Since I'm clumsy, I'm bad when it comes to the details.
That's true... just a bit, huh?
Ah... you favor your Dad in that, Mineko.
Really?
Yeah.
Unfold and...
Unfold.
Using your palms. Unfold it like that.
The husband of the woman who runs this kimono store went to Tokyo University.
Whereupon he said he wasn't going to take over the store.
Well, he doesn't know a thing about business...
...and he knows even less about kimonos.
Out on the horizon of this round earth
Marui chikuu no suihei-sen ni
I'm sure something's waiting for us
Nanika ga kitto matte iru
There'll be painful things, too
Kurushii koto mo arudaro sa
There'll be sad things, too
Kanashii koto mo arudaro sa
But we won't get discouraged
Dakedo bokura wa kujikenai
We don't want to cry, we will smile
Naku no wa iyada waratchaou
And move forward
Susume
Mom!
Welcome home.
I'm home...
Welcome home...
I'm home.
Mineko...
Yes.

Move forward, Mineko!
