Original subtitles

This dog is being taken in for the country.

He just wants to play happily with my daughter.

It's for the good of the country.

As the war with China continued,

The shadow of war loomed over the lives of the people.

Hanako and Eiji

Knew that Teru wasn't ever coming home again.

Huh? Teru's not here. Teru! Teru!

Mum, where's Teru?

So, Misato. Teru...

Teru's gone off to work.

Work? Yeah.

He went off to help the soldiers.

Mum, is that true? Yeah.

Teru spoke with his eyes.

"I'm going now!"

"Please tell Misato, 'thank you.'"

When's Teru coming home?

Teru's coming home, right?

Mum! Teru's coming home, isn't he!

Misato, Teru's not going...

He'll come home!

Teru will work his hardest for the soldiers,

And surely come home.

If I'm good, will he come back sooner?

He will!

I'll really be a good girl!

Hanako, not wanting to make Misato sad,

Lied to her.

"From here,"

"Your story begins,"

"The road goes on and on."

"If the rainbow-coloured rain pours down,"

"The sky will come alive."

"Behind your radiant smile,"

"There's a sorrowful sound."

"Next to each other with the present,"

"Like this is sweet."

"If we clasped hands, it would be warm,"

"If you hate it, we'll go our own ways."

"One by one, you'll become your own,"

"The road goes on."

"The wind carries the seeds of our hopes,"

"The light will become the bud of our dreams."

I wonder if Teru's eating properly?

Don't worry, he'll be fine!

"You worked hard all day!"

The soldiers would say, giving him plenty to eat.

Hey, Mum.

Where's Teru now?

He's...

I'm sure he's on a boat now to cross the sea.

Teru's on a big ship with the soldiers!

Yeah, he's on a ship being treated affectionately by the soldiers.

He won't get lost, going so far away?

He's with the soldiers, so there's no need to worry.

That's good! Teru, come home soon!

What should we do?

I told her that...

It can't be helped.

You can't say Teru's not coming home anymore.

I know...

I'm home!

Sis, we're home.

Welcome home. Mum, I'm home!

Misato?

Misato said...

"Teru's probably coming home today!"

So she rushed home today. I see...

Teru?

Everyday after that, Misato

Looked forward to Teru's arrival back home.

Misato, Uncle Kichitaro is here!

Uncle!

Misato, you've grown big since I last saw you!

Brother, welcome! It's been a while.

It has. Everyone looks well.

Here, a present for you.

Thank you Uncle!

Heh? You brought sweet buns? How come?

I bring presents sometimes!

..Actually, I have something to ask of Hana.

Muraoka

Muraoka Hana

Muraoka Hanako

It seems my superior's nephew really loves your program.

Sorry about it. No, I'm happy to!

Here you go. Thanks, it's a big help.

You can ask me anytime.

Here, the sweet buns Uncle Kichitaro brought!

Let's eat!

Is it good?

..Brother, sorry. You came all the way here.

Oh, the radio station?

Misato, be a good girl!

Have a good day, Mum! I'll get going.

Uncle, let's draw together!

Yeah.

Momo, look after her please. Have a good day.

I'll head off.

Wow, you're good!

Teru's helping the soldiers!

Teru?

He went to work for the soldiers!

For the soldiers? Your Mum said that?

When Teru comes home,

They'll be full of praise for him!

And give him a reward too!

Misato looks forward to it everyday.

I wonder if he'll be back soon...

Misato, Teru is devoting his life and working for his country.

But he's coming back, right?

He'll be back when his work is finished,

That's what your Mum said, isn't it!

If I'm a good girl, he'll come back sooner, won't he!

Uncle?

Even if he can't come back,

Teru will have served his country admirably.

Brother. Teru... isn't coming back anymore?

No! That's not true!

Misato!

Dad!

Misato, what's wrong?

Huh? What is it, Misato?

Kichitaro's here?

I'm very sorry.

I said too much.

Ah, hello. ..How do you do.

Please help me out today.

That depressed look isn't 'how do you do.'

It's fine as long as there's no mistakes in the reading.

All Machinery...

Munitions...

The Army's Pursuit

Miss Muraoka.

There's news about animals. It's good news.

"Among those army dogs,"

"There are many which were raised in your own homes."

Among those dogs raised in homes...

They splendidly found out hidden enemies.

Okay, thank you very much.

Please use about that speed in the broadcast as well.

Yes.

Take care of proper pronunciation and accuracy!

Read it precisely, word for word! Yes.

The Ministry's gaze has become more strict.

It's increasingly important to read the script as is.

Yes.

Come, Misato. The program's starting.

Misato.

"Continuing,"

"It's Miss Muraoka Hanako's Children's Newspaper."

Well, Misato. It's your Mum's program.

"Small people of the country, how do you do."

"It's time for 'Children's Newspaper.'"

Next is a story about awards given to military dogs.

"Known as army dogs,"

"They help those soldiers working on the frontlines,"

"And their great usefulness has been mentioned many times."

"Among those army dogs,"

"There are many which were raised in your own homes."

Among those dogs raised in homes...

Teru had been energetically assisting soldiers on the front.

Terugo splendidly found out hidden enemies,

"And as he had worked finely protecting the soldiers,"

"He was given an award for his services."

Teru! It's Teru! Teru's in the news!

In the script of course,

Neither Teru or Terugo had been written a single time.

That's all for today's newspaper.

I'll speak to you again tomorrow.

So then everyone, until then, farewell.

Looks like things have turned ugly.

Until then, farewell.
