1
00:03:00,962 --> 00:03:02,714
Who are you?

2
00:03:03,048 --> 00:03:04,539
Kawamoto.

3
00:03:04,841 --> 00:03:07,093
Shûsaku, the son of the house.

4
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:10,679
How lucky you are...

5
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,892
not to have experienced this horror.

6
00:03:14,142 --> 00:03:18,729
Fire... Okayama was an ocean of flames.

7
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:21,732
Our hair was burning on our heads.

8
00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:24,267
The air was hot, so hot...

9
00:03:24,402 --> 00:03:28,615
We stepped into the river for a whole day,

10
00:03:28,782 --> 00:03:32,493
because we were so hot.

11
00:03:32,494 --> 00:03:34,078
Where is my aunt?

12
00:03:34,079 --> 00:03:36,612
How lucky to have a family!

13
00:03:37,123 --> 00:03:39,490
She took refuge in Tottori.

14
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:43,755
I'm going to sleep here tonight.

15
00:03:44,673 --> 00:03:46,383
Mom, it's ready!

16
00:03:46,716 --> 00:03:48,343
I'm coming.

17
00:03:57,519 --> 00:03:59,385
You don't want any?

18
00:03:59,854 --> 00:04:03,107
Aren't you a disaster victim?
Please have some...

19
00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:04,316
No thanks.

20
00:04:04,317 --> 00:04:06,152
Don't be modest.

21
00:04:08,571 --> 00:04:10,864
My brother is in the army.

22
00:04:10,865 --> 00:04:14,243
I wanted to improve his rations,

23
00:04:14,244 --> 00:04:17,956
but he refused because of his pals.

24
00:04:18,206 --> 00:04:21,084
I came from Akitsu for nothing.

25
00:04:21,251 --> 00:04:22,658
Akitsu...

26
00:04:23,169 --> 00:04:25,453
Do you know Akitsu?

27
00:04:26,006 --> 00:04:27,465
Akitsu...

28
00:04:27,882 --> 00:04:31,428
From Tsuyama,
you go deeper into the mountains.

29
00:04:31,886 --> 00:04:35,015
In old times,
it was a truly peaceful haven.

30
00:04:35,724 --> 00:04:37,266
A health resort,

31
00:04:37,267 --> 00:04:40,394
in a valley, with a river...

32
00:04:40,395 --> 00:04:42,397
full of tree frogs.

33
00:04:42,689 --> 00:04:44,524
Have you ever been there?

34
00:04:44,649 --> 00:04:46,234
An air raid!

35
00:05:18,058 --> 00:05:21,300
What happened? You're pale.

36
00:05:21,478 --> 00:05:24,146
Take me to Akitsu.

37
00:05:24,147 --> 00:05:25,981
Tottori is too far.

38
00:05:25,982 --> 00:05:28,318
I won't make it.

39
00:05:28,526 --> 00:05:30,402
Where can I rest?

40
00:05:30,403 --> 00:05:33,523
Well, I'm working at an inn, but...

41
00:05:33,524 --> 00:05:34,770
Please!

42
00:06:19,452 --> 00:06:21,788
Boss!

43
00:06:22,455 --> 00:06:24,748
Why are you yelling?

44
00:06:24,749 --> 00:06:26,418
I brought a customer.

45
00:06:28,044 --> 00:06:30,963
This is really not the time!

46
00:06:30,964 --> 00:06:32,673
He seems ill.

47
00:06:32,674 --> 00:06:37,345
With all the military doctors,
we have no more rooms.

48
00:07:12,422 --> 00:07:13,756
How rude!

49
00:07:13,757 --> 00:07:15,049
Say that again!

50
00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:16,916
Come on, say it again!

51
00:07:17,719 --> 00:07:19,012
Stay there!

52
00:07:21,181 --> 00:07:23,183
Take it easy!

53
00:07:24,017 --> 00:07:26,268
- Have a drink.
- It's a woman...

54
00:07:26,269 --> 00:07:27,854
Bitch!

55
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:50,293
Losing the war!

56
00:07:51,461 --> 00:07:53,045
Our divine mission...

57
00:07:53,046 --> 00:07:56,382
Our honor, she doesn't care!

58
00:07:56,383 --> 00:07:57,457
I'll kill her!

59
00:07:57,968 --> 00:08:00,511
She's just a child.

60
00:08:00,512 --> 00:08:02,763
Please forgive her.

61
00:08:02,764 --> 00:08:05,267
Our lives are at stake.

62
00:08:05,475 --> 00:08:08,009
Do you understand what that means?

63
00:08:12,107 --> 00:08:15,026
This attitude is unacceptable!

64
00:08:15,193 --> 00:08:17,060
Even for a woman.

65
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,322
Calm down!
We're here to have fun!

66
00:08:20,323 --> 00:08:22,033
Shut up!

67
00:08:24,494 --> 00:08:26,527
Where's the girl? Go get her!

68
00:08:26,746 --> 00:08:28,455
Stop, I'm begging you!

69
00:08:28,456 --> 00:08:30,792
Enough! Come upstairs with us!

70
00:08:31,042 --> 00:08:32,209
What a shame!

71
00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:33,877
I'm bringing some saké.

72
00:08:33,878 --> 00:08:35,255
Quiet!

73
00:08:42,387 --> 00:08:43,847
They're gone.

74
00:08:54,190 --> 00:08:56,140
It's over.

75
00:08:56,943 --> 00:08:58,570
Can you hear me?

76
00:09:29,976 --> 00:09:31,843
I feel good.

77
00:09:32,395 --> 00:09:34,929
I almost fell asleep.

78
00:09:39,402 --> 00:09:42,948
Are you the guest
O-Tami brought with her?

79
00:09:44,199 --> 00:09:48,901
How careless! Coming to a
hot springs in these circumstances!

80
00:10:00,048 --> 00:10:01,508
What is it?

81
00:10:09,140 --> 00:10:10,809
Do you have a headache?

82
00:10:11,768 --> 00:10:14,354
No, just a hobby.

83
00:10:15,897 --> 00:10:17,773
A strange hobby!

84
00:10:17,774 --> 00:10:20,277
You're like a bear at the zoo.

85
00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:24,547
Smart aleck!

86
00:10:26,324 --> 00:10:27,909
Are you angry?

87
00:10:43,842 --> 00:10:45,968
In Tokyo, were you a student?

88
00:10:45,969 --> 00:10:48,054
O-Tami said so.

89
00:10:48,263 --> 00:10:52,225
Me too, I was a student
until late March, in Yokohama.

90
00:10:52,434 --> 00:10:54,310
I wanted to stay,

91
00:10:54,311 --> 00:10:56,344
but with all the bombings...

92
00:10:56,521 --> 00:10:58,971
My mother remarried here.

93
00:11:01,985 --> 00:11:04,352
But my father is dead.

94
00:11:07,532 --> 00:11:11,025
I used to hate my stepfather tremendously.

95
00:11:20,211 --> 00:11:24,966
We may have
passed each other on the train.

96
00:11:27,636 --> 00:11:31,379
I often used to
go to Tokyo to see friends.

97
00:11:39,022 --> 00:11:41,524
Do you feel bad?
Do you want some water?

98
00:11:41,858 --> 00:11:43,068
No thanks.

99
00:11:43,944 --> 00:11:47,113
You have to get yourself
examined by the doctors here.

100
00:11:48,531 --> 00:11:49,865
Leave!

101
00:11:49,866 --> 00:11:52,202
Leave me alone!

102
00:11:53,912 --> 00:11:56,789
Strange man! I just wanted to help you!

103
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:58,416
Get out of here!

104
00:12:35,412 --> 00:12:36,955
You're bleeding!

105
00:12:42,627 --> 00:12:46,339
Someone, quick! Mom!

106
00:13:34,930 --> 00:13:37,432
You mustn't get up.

107
00:13:39,142 --> 00:13:40,383
Mr. Kawamoto!

108
00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:49,069
Where are you going?

109
00:14:21,518 --> 00:14:24,895
He's unfit for military service!
So no medicine!

110
00:14:24,896 --> 00:14:26,731
But nevertheless...

111
00:14:27,565 --> 00:14:30,151
If he wants to live, he must hang on!

112
00:14:30,902 --> 00:14:32,653
What a fuss!

113
00:14:32,654 --> 00:14:34,405
What a nice guest you have.

114
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:36,116
I'm sorry.

115
00:14:36,241 --> 00:14:37,616
Roku, carry him!

116
00:14:37,617 --> 00:14:39,410
- Where to?
- To the annex.

117
00:14:39,411 --> 00:14:41,120
Can we really...

118
00:14:41,121 --> 00:14:42,914
O-Tami, help us.

119
00:14:53,550 --> 00:14:56,593
How shameful!
Depriving him of medicine!

120
00:14:56,595 --> 00:14:58,763
I'll cure him all by myself.

121
00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:01,015
He was suffering so much.

122
00:15:01,016 --> 00:15:03,549
He was banging
his head against the walls.

123
00:15:04,769 --> 00:15:07,220
I've never seen such a face.

124
00:15:07,647 --> 00:15:09,773
No one could imagine...

125
00:15:09,774 --> 00:15:12,110
He is doing everything he can.

126
00:15:12,319 --> 00:15:15,728
How many can face death like he does?

127
00:15:31,838 --> 00:15:34,715
<i>The emperor is announcing on the radio</i>

128
00:15:34,716 --> 00:15:39,554
<i>that the war is over
and that Japan has lost.</i>

129
00:15:43,683 --> 00:15:45,602
What's happening?

130
00:15:46,144 --> 00:15:48,647
A speech from His Majesty.

131
00:16:00,617 --> 00:16:03,401
I don't understand a single word.

132
00:16:33,149 --> 00:16:36,893
His Majesty, the Emperor,
has just announced

133
00:16:37,404 --> 00:16:39,572
that he has accepted the unacceptable,

134
00:16:39,781 --> 00:16:43,076
that the allied forces have won.

135
00:16:44,327 --> 00:16:47,653
As a sign of submission,
we are going to bow.

136
00:16:48,248 --> 00:16:51,491
To the right, right!

137
00:16:55,005 --> 00:16:58,008
Let's salute facing the Palace.

138
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,063
Miss Shinko!

139
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:18,434
What's happening?

140
00:18:06,159 --> 00:18:08,244
What's happening, Miss Shinko?

141
00:18:23,218 --> 00:18:24,844
What is it?

142
00:18:33,311 --> 00:18:34,802
What happened?

143
00:18:46,491 --> 00:18:48,076
We lost.

144
00:18:49,995 --> 00:18:52,247
Japan lost the war.

145
00:20:58,206 --> 00:20:59,540
Tired?

146
00:20:59,541 --> 00:21:02,001
No, I can go on.

147
00:21:02,002 --> 00:21:04,169
Good! You know,

148
00:21:04,170 --> 00:21:07,840
I told Mom that you would recover.

149
00:21:07,841 --> 00:21:10,843
So if you don't recover, I lose.

150
00:21:10,844 --> 00:21:12,335
Thank you.

151
00:21:12,804 --> 00:21:14,431
I owe you so much.

152
00:21:14,639 --> 00:21:16,515
What a transformation!

153
00:21:16,516 --> 00:21:19,810
You were there, staring at the ceiling,

154
00:21:19,811 --> 00:21:21,520
like a mute person.

155
00:21:21,521 --> 00:21:25,317
You barely answered "yes" or "no."

156
00:21:25,734 --> 00:21:29,477
If I've survived, it's thanks to you.

157
00:21:34,034 --> 00:21:35,243
Right...

158
00:21:36,411 --> 00:21:37,870
I am somebody.

159
00:21:37,871 --> 00:21:39,904
I saved a human being.

160
00:21:56,973 --> 00:21:58,350
Shinko!

161
00:22:03,521 --> 00:22:05,638
I feel so good!

162
00:22:06,149 --> 00:22:09,945
The war is over.
I just can't believe it.

163
00:22:28,129 --> 00:22:29,798
Shûsaku!

164
00:22:31,132 --> 00:22:32,999
Shûsaku!

165
00:22:34,135 --> 00:22:36,304
Where are you hiding?

166
00:22:45,939 --> 00:22:47,732
Where are you?

167
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,266
Answer me!

168
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,949
It's not nice to hide!

169
00:23:14,259 --> 00:23:15,500
I'm here!

170
00:23:27,105 --> 00:23:30,515
How mean! You did that on purpose!

171
00:23:30,817 --> 00:23:32,934
I was listening to your voice.

172
00:23:35,113 --> 00:23:37,115
It's so full of health.

173
00:23:37,532 --> 00:23:39,649
Call me again.

174
00:23:43,872 --> 00:23:45,738
You are strange!

175
00:23:47,542 --> 00:23:51,838
I thought Akitsu would become my tomb.

176
00:23:52,172 --> 00:23:54,424
A vague premonition.

177
00:23:55,008 --> 00:23:58,011
But I don't want to die anymore.

178
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:08,438
You taught me to live.

179
00:24:10,523 --> 00:24:13,526
On August 15th, you wept.

180
00:24:16,071 --> 00:24:19,115
I had never imagined so many tears.

181
00:24:23,495 --> 00:24:25,163
It was at that moment...

182
00:24:26,373 --> 00:24:29,209
that I decided to live at all costs.

183
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,717
Boss...

184
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:21,751
Take this as payment.

185
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:26,557
In Okayama,
you'll never find one like this.

186
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:28,393
Inherited from my aunt.

187
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,352
Bought abroad.

188
00:25:30,353 --> 00:25:33,231
A watch doesn't fill up your stomach.

189
00:25:33,481 --> 00:25:34,606
It's good luck!

190
00:25:34,608 --> 00:25:36,525
Then why are you selling it?

191
00:25:36,526 --> 00:25:39,069
I despise the desire for possession.

192
00:25:39,070 --> 00:25:42,656
Life is just a farce played by idiots.

193
00:25:42,657 --> 00:25:44,993
Sound and fury...

194
00:25:46,953 --> 00:25:49,121
Party and fury!

195
00:25:49,122 --> 00:25:51,906
Let's wallow in destruction.

196
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:54,793
Otherwise... never more.

197
00:25:54,794 --> 00:25:56,045
Never more.

198
00:25:56,046 --> 00:25:58,464
Sir... won't you give it to me?

199
00:25:58,465 --> 00:25:59,757
How much?

200
00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:00,824
What I have.

201
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:02,875
Okay! That's fine!

202
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:09,725
Saké!

203
00:26:09,726 --> 00:26:11,759
What an idiot!

204
00:26:15,982 --> 00:26:17,442
Come on, let's drink!

205
00:26:17,734 --> 00:26:18,891
I've had enough.

206
00:26:21,529 --> 00:26:23,155
Matsumiya, tell me,

207
00:26:23,156 --> 00:26:25,742
why did you write a novel?

208
00:26:25,909 --> 00:26:27,827
I don't know either.

209
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:31,080
Maybe I was tired of writing...

210
00:26:31,081 --> 00:26:34,000
about other people in the newspapers.

211
00:26:34,125 --> 00:26:36,544
I wanted to speak for myself.

212
00:26:38,672 --> 00:26:39,964
Big brother...

213
00:26:39,965 --> 00:26:41,205
What's up?

214
00:26:45,262 --> 00:26:47,513
Come back home quick.

215
00:26:47,514 --> 00:26:49,014
Mom fainted.

216
00:26:49,015 --> 00:26:51,268
The doctor has no hope.

217
00:26:58,942 --> 00:27:00,433
Hey, Harue!

218
00:27:01,569 --> 00:27:03,280
What's happening?

219
00:27:11,788 --> 00:27:13,415
Mr. Kawamoto!

220
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:04,413
Where are you going?

221
00:28:04,414 --> 00:28:05,997
Taking a walk.

222
00:28:05,998 --> 00:28:08,449
Rain is no good for you!

223
00:28:20,722 --> 00:28:22,806
You have to move your hips!

224
00:28:22,807 --> 00:28:25,350
- Will you really get some?
- Some what?

225
00:28:25,351 --> 00:28:27,635
Anti-tuberculosis medicine.

226
00:28:27,979 --> 00:28:31,889
- The streptomycin?
- I want some! At any price.

227
00:28:32,275 --> 00:28:34,151
Okay. It's a deal.

228
00:28:34,152 --> 00:28:35,935
Thank you very much.

229
00:28:56,924 --> 00:28:58,509
Good evening!

230
00:29:03,222 --> 00:29:05,766
Just as I thought!
Let's get back home!

231
00:29:05,767 --> 00:29:06,767
Leave me!

232
00:29:06,768 --> 00:29:08,769
No! You're sick.

233
00:29:08,770 --> 00:29:12,430
- What will you have?
- Nothing. Same for him.

234
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,777
Please, I want one.

235
00:29:41,719 --> 00:29:43,388
Since when do you smoke?

236
00:29:44,055 --> 00:29:45,807
That's your fault.

237
00:29:46,182 --> 00:29:49,341
They say it protects you from germs...
Nonsense.

238
00:29:49,477 --> 00:29:51,510
You have nothing to fear.

239
00:29:52,063 --> 00:29:53,471
Why?

240
00:29:55,024 --> 00:29:57,057
You are bursting with health.

241
00:30:01,948 --> 00:30:03,481
Give me some saké.

242
00:30:03,991 --> 00:30:05,200
You drink now?

243
00:30:05,201 --> 00:30:07,777
If I want to! What's it to you?

244
00:30:18,673 --> 00:30:20,882
Stupid girl, this is no joke!

245
00:30:20,883 --> 00:30:24,293
You're the stupid one!
Who'd want to drink this?

246
00:30:24,595 --> 00:30:26,629
You wouldn't understand.

247
00:30:29,267 --> 00:30:32,426
Go ahead and die,
if that's what you want!

248
00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:40,101
Shinko!

249
00:30:41,404 --> 00:30:43,646
To tell the truth, I'm...

250
00:30:43,823 --> 00:30:46,908
I'm tired of everything... even you.

251
00:30:46,909 --> 00:30:50,455
No, I'm rather tired of living.

252
00:30:51,247 --> 00:30:53,572
Well, how should I say it...

253
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,542
It weighs me down.

254
00:30:55,543 --> 00:30:58,536
Everything around me weighs me down.

255
00:30:58,921 --> 00:31:00,788
To free myself,

256
00:31:01,090 --> 00:31:05,084
I sold everything that my aunt left me.

257
00:31:07,055 --> 00:31:10,183
And I came back here to die.

258
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,059
I know all that.

259
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:15,052
- So, let me!
- It's not so simple!

260
00:31:15,897 --> 00:31:19,682
Who fought to live?
It was you, wasn't it?

261
00:31:23,863 --> 00:31:26,908
I haven't forgotten. I remember that.

262
00:31:28,326 --> 00:31:30,734
Shûsaku is no more.

263
00:31:31,537 --> 00:31:33,830
"Like a flower in the tempest,"

264
00:31:33,831 --> 00:31:36,157
"Life is nothing but a farewell."

265
00:31:37,543 --> 00:31:39,252
Shûsaku Kawamoto...

266
00:31:39,253 --> 00:31:41,996
You know, this old fool...

267
00:31:42,382 --> 00:31:45,467
was obsessed with hanging himself.

268
00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:48,377
He did extensive research,

269
00:31:48,846 --> 00:31:51,264
but death by hanging is cruel.

270
00:31:51,265 --> 00:31:52,849
It's not pretty.

271
00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:55,019
I'd like to sleep forever.

272
00:31:55,311 --> 00:31:57,479
But I've lived another day.

273
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,097
And you complain about me getting drunk.

274
00:32:00,358 --> 00:32:02,734
Is it because I survived?

275
00:32:02,735 --> 00:32:04,653
Or is this the end?

276
00:32:04,654 --> 00:32:07,062
Shûsaku, that's enough!

277
00:32:35,476 --> 00:32:37,562
Please go away.

278
00:32:40,565 --> 00:32:44,308
The doctor forbid you to take hot baths.

279
00:32:44,944 --> 00:32:47,353
I would like to die clean.

280
00:32:47,989 --> 00:32:49,741
Again with that nonsense?

281
00:32:53,411 --> 00:32:55,111
Don't come any closer!

282
00:33:03,254 --> 00:33:04,870
Die with me.

283
00:33:05,506 --> 00:33:06,956
I want you to die with me.

284
00:33:08,426 --> 00:33:09,792
A double suicide?

285
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,356
What's so funny?

286
00:33:25,651 --> 00:33:28,644
I speak of death
and my loved one laughs.

287
00:33:33,326 --> 00:33:35,192
You laugh very well.

288
00:33:35,995 --> 00:33:38,571
You also know crying and anger.

289
00:33:39,123 --> 00:33:41,209
I envy your talents.

290
00:33:42,126 --> 00:33:43,659
I'm so jealous,

291
00:33:44,087 --> 00:33:46,412
I could even kill you.

292
00:33:47,340 --> 00:33:49,874
You couldn't kill anyone!

293
00:33:54,681 --> 00:33:57,339
I survived only for you.

294
00:33:58,768 --> 00:34:00,937
But this bond is no more.

295
00:34:05,733 --> 00:34:07,349
Shûsaku,

296
00:34:09,737 --> 00:34:11,572
do you really love me?

297
00:34:13,616 --> 00:34:14,690
Yes.

298
00:34:20,498 --> 00:34:22,281
Truly?

299
00:34:26,129 --> 00:34:27,453
I love you.

300
00:34:31,384 --> 00:34:33,386
Then I accept death.

301
00:34:35,138 --> 00:34:37,671
Shûsaku, I will die with you.

302
00:35:20,183 --> 00:35:21,507
A sleeping pill.

303
00:35:24,979 --> 00:35:26,470
Is it enough?

304
00:35:27,940 --> 00:35:30,108
Afterwards, we'll go in the water.

305
00:35:30,109 --> 00:35:31,725
But I can swim.

306
00:35:47,210 --> 00:35:49,294
Have you written a will?

307
00:35:49,295 --> 00:35:50,536
No need.

308
00:35:51,547 --> 00:35:53,298
Mom will cry.

309
00:35:53,299 --> 00:35:55,218
O-Tami will too.

310
00:35:55,802 --> 00:35:58,169
She'll cry like a fountain.

311
00:35:58,638 --> 00:36:01,139
Like the day her brother
was killed by the bomb,

312
00:36:01,140 --> 00:36:03,226
she'll continue to cry.

313
00:36:04,769 --> 00:36:07,219
Who will comfort her this time?

314
00:36:07,563 --> 00:36:09,513
Mom will be in tears.

315
00:36:09,691 --> 00:36:11,693
Maybe the cook will?

316
00:36:14,445 --> 00:36:16,030
- I'll tie us up.
- No!

317
00:36:19,158 --> 00:36:20,775
That tickles!

318
00:37:21,471 --> 00:37:23,847
Excuse me, here is the tea.

319
00:37:23,848 --> 00:37:26,014
The bridegroom, what did you think?

320
00:37:26,015 --> 00:37:29,603
Leave her alone until the time is right.

321
00:37:29,604 --> 00:37:33,440
These days,
we only talk about love marriages.

322
00:37:33,441 --> 00:37:36,318
- Right, Miss Shinko?
- Oh, you know...

323
00:37:36,319 --> 00:37:39,863
But your mother would be
relieved to have a son-in-law.

324
00:37:39,864 --> 00:37:43,075
It's hard to manage an inn all alone.

325
00:37:43,076 --> 00:37:45,078
I hate this job.

326
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:48,654
Oh, not good enough for young folk?

327
00:37:52,210 --> 00:37:53,617
We're back!

328
00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:55,295
Welcome!

329
00:37:55,296 --> 00:37:57,382
- We're back.
- Welcome!

330
00:38:07,558 --> 00:38:09,227
Shûsaku...

331
00:38:16,109 --> 00:38:18,902
- What's all the fuss?
- Where's Shûsaku?

332
00:38:18,903 --> 00:38:21,072
He went back to Okayama.

333
00:38:21,531 --> 00:38:22,897
Why?

334
00:38:23,491 --> 00:38:24,908
Why did he leave?

335
00:38:24,909 --> 00:38:26,743
I asked him to.

336
00:38:26,744 --> 00:38:29,996
He needs to recover somewhere else.

337
00:38:29,997 --> 00:38:31,748
You don't know anything!

338
00:38:31,749 --> 00:38:34,042
He'll die if he's left alone.

339
00:38:34,043 --> 00:38:37,379
I know very well how you feel about him,

340
00:38:37,380 --> 00:38:41,665
but life is a long journey.

341
00:38:42,301 --> 00:38:44,960
I refuse today's bridegroom.

342
00:38:45,471 --> 00:38:48,098
I refuse any arranged marriage.

343
00:38:48,099 --> 00:38:51,342
It's such a joke!
I almost burst out laughing!

344
00:38:51,728 --> 00:38:54,605
You can have your way this time.

345
00:38:56,774 --> 00:38:58,597
But you can't have Mr. Kawamoto!

346
00:38:58,598 --> 00:39:00,976
Mom, you only think of yourself!

347
00:39:02,238 --> 00:39:04,021
This Akitsu Inn...

348
00:39:04,365 --> 00:39:06,116
You know very well...

349
00:39:06,117 --> 00:39:08,484
that you didn't want to come here.

350
00:39:09,954 --> 00:39:12,279
You've never been in love.

351
00:39:13,374 --> 00:39:14,624
Where are you going?

352
00:39:14,625 --> 00:39:17,284
What does it matter? I'm leaving!

353
00:40:26,656 --> 00:40:28,272
Congratulations.

354
00:40:30,118 --> 00:40:31,785
With a baby on the way,

355
00:40:31,786 --> 00:40:35,112
Shûsaku will have to settle down.

356
00:40:35,623 --> 00:40:39,492
You know,
he doesn't write much these days.

357
00:40:40,378 --> 00:40:44,497
Excuse me, is Mr. Matsumiya here?

358
00:40:49,137 --> 00:40:50,762
Ah, Matsumiya!

359
00:40:50,763 --> 00:40:52,931
A call from Tokyo.

360
00:40:52,932 --> 00:40:57,310
They want to award you
the Young Authors' Prize.

361
00:40:57,311 --> 00:40:58,940
What a way to start the year!

362
00:40:58,941 --> 00:41:00,348
I can't believe it!

363
00:41:00,349 --> 00:41:01,732
Yes, it's true.

364
00:41:01,733 --> 00:41:04,151
So, your reaction?

365
00:41:04,152 --> 00:41:06,319
Your world has turned upside down,

366
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,938
with journalist interviews.

367
00:41:10,658 --> 00:41:12,149
What's up?

368
00:41:12,827 --> 00:41:15,579
He's been awarded
the Young Authors' Prize.

369
00:41:15,580 --> 00:41:17,122
The Young Authors' Prize?

370
00:41:17,123 --> 00:41:19,907
Please, a word or two.

371
00:41:20,793 --> 00:41:23,452
Good... I'm happy.

372
00:41:24,547 --> 00:41:25,955
Big brother,

373
00:41:26,174 --> 00:41:27,456
congratulations.

374
00:41:28,885 --> 00:41:30,418
Let's see...

375
00:41:30,803 --> 00:41:32,388
He's a genius,

376
00:41:32,930 --> 00:41:34,849
some kind of genius.

377
00:41:35,266 --> 00:41:37,550
It's only natural that he won.

378
00:41:38,269 --> 00:41:41,229
At the age of 40,
he's still working hard.

379
00:41:41,230 --> 00:41:43,931
He gets offered every prize.

380
00:41:45,943 --> 00:41:48,394
They don't hand 'em out to just anyone.

381
00:41:50,114 --> 00:41:53,408
Matsumiya, let's celebrate!

382
00:41:53,409 --> 00:41:56,203
Wait a while for the confirmation.

383
00:41:56,204 --> 00:41:59,332
You're kidding!
As of tomorrow, you're the star.

384
00:42:14,263 --> 00:42:16,056
Got any saké?

385
00:42:16,057 --> 00:42:18,549
Sorry, there's no more.

386
00:42:24,399 --> 00:42:25,982
Dear?

387
00:42:25,983 --> 00:42:27,183
What do you want?

388
00:42:27,568 --> 00:42:29,570
Stay here, I beg you.

389
00:42:30,488 --> 00:42:33,564
It's our first New Year's Day together.

390
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,816
I'm sorry.

391
00:42:36,369 --> 00:42:39,111
You know the tourist magazine?

392
00:42:39,372 --> 00:42:42,114
The editor ran away without paying me.

393
00:42:42,792 --> 00:42:44,584
Don't worry,

394
00:42:44,585 --> 00:42:47,161
I can earn a living.

395
00:42:48,006 --> 00:42:50,257
My brother just said,

396
00:42:50,258 --> 00:42:53,301
he would like to
see you write more seriously.

397
00:42:53,302 --> 00:42:56,514
What? Who does he take me for?

398
00:42:56,681 --> 00:42:58,807
I would never lower myself

399
00:42:58,808 --> 00:43:01,309
to writing the kind of drivel he does!

400
00:43:01,310 --> 00:43:04,354
But... he's receiving a prize!

401
00:43:04,355 --> 00:43:05,513
Dear!

402
00:43:26,961 --> 00:43:28,661
Akitsu?

403
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,124
One more pitiful time?

404
00:43:35,386 --> 00:43:37,420
Miss Shinko!

405
00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:55,781
What a bother!

406
00:43:55,782 --> 00:43:57,273
What's up?

407
00:43:58,242 --> 00:44:01,152
He came back, Mr. Kawamoto!

408
00:44:22,392 --> 00:44:24,184
It's been three years!

409
00:44:24,185 --> 00:44:27,146
He hasn't forgotten us.

410
00:45:14,527 --> 00:45:16,310
Anyone here?

411
00:45:17,780 --> 00:45:19,823
Bring me some socks.

412
00:45:19,824 --> 00:45:21,023
Hurry!

413
00:45:33,755 --> 00:45:36,882
There you are! Happy New Year!

414
00:45:36,883 --> 00:45:39,259
And best wishes!

415
00:45:39,260 --> 00:45:42,220
Play some more! Always the same song...

416
00:45:42,221 --> 00:45:44,389
You postwar types

417
00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:46,725
are always so high and mighty.

418
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:50,438
You're drunk, aren't you?

419
00:45:55,401 --> 00:45:58,477
I could barely sleep, I'm a wimp.

420
00:45:58,613 --> 00:46:00,655
He came to drink in the snow!

421
00:46:00,656 --> 00:46:04,201
Not like those upstarts in the Korean War.

422
00:46:04,202 --> 00:46:05,869
They don't know anything,

423
00:46:05,870 --> 00:46:08,371
and they ask me to play jazz!

424
00:46:08,373 --> 00:46:10,373
It also has to swing!

425
00:46:10,375 --> 00:46:11,917
How horrible!

426
00:46:11,918 --> 00:46:14,728
Stop babbling, start playing!

427
00:46:19,217 --> 00:46:20,833
Your mother is dead?

428
00:46:21,219 --> 00:46:22,719
Last summer.

429
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:27,182
She's courageous!
She kept the inn all by herself!

430
00:46:27,183 --> 00:46:29,017
You can come back later.

431
00:46:29,018 --> 00:46:31,274
No! Let's drink together!

432
00:46:31,275 --> 00:46:32,523
How charming!

433
00:46:32,524 --> 00:46:35,565
Watch out, I think I have a crush on him.

434
00:46:35,566 --> 00:46:37,901
Granny Geisha, drink this!

435
00:46:37,902 --> 00:46:40,311
Watch who you're calling "granny."

436
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:45,575
Shûsaku, why did you come back?

437
00:46:45,576 --> 00:46:48,078
He came for the beauties like us.

438
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:49,371
You, shut up!

439
00:46:49,372 --> 00:46:50,821
Why, you...

440
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:55,712
You've changed!

441
00:46:57,964 --> 00:47:00,257
Don't look at me like that!

442
00:47:00,258 --> 00:47:03,501
I just let myself
be carried by my desires.

443
00:47:04,262 --> 00:47:06,180
Pretty girls...

444
00:47:06,681 --> 00:47:08,130
are pretty indeed!

445
00:47:09,350 --> 00:47:12,259
Don't tempt me!

446
00:47:13,771 --> 00:47:15,689
Hey, more saké!

447
00:47:15,690 --> 00:47:17,899
Please, brink some saké.

448
00:47:17,900 --> 00:47:20,476
She ruined your party, huh?

449
00:47:22,530 --> 00:47:26,408
<i>My first love,</i>

450
00:47:26,409 --> 00:47:29,077
<i>I come to visit you...</i>

451
00:47:29,078 --> 00:47:30,495
Thanks, goodbye.

452
00:47:30,496 --> 00:47:32,081
Bye bye!

453
00:48:54,122 --> 00:48:57,031
Open up! Open up!

454
00:49:01,045 --> 00:49:02,536
Shûsaku...

455
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,289
It would have been better if you died!

456
00:49:08,761 --> 00:49:09,835
O-Shin!

457
00:49:25,903 --> 00:49:28,729
You're making a ruckus!

458
00:49:31,826 --> 00:49:33,275
O-Tami,

459
00:49:33,411 --> 00:49:36,821
I got married last April.

460
00:49:39,334 --> 00:49:42,326
This is my last time at Akitsu.

461
00:49:44,339 --> 00:49:45,830
And Miss Shinko?

462
00:49:46,090 --> 00:49:49,051
I just told you, it's over!

463
00:49:49,052 --> 00:49:50,887
You drank too much...

464
00:50:44,941 --> 00:50:46,807
Is O-Tami there?

465
00:50:50,655 --> 00:50:53,355
I'm leaving. Going home.

466
00:50:53,741 --> 00:50:55,660
Send me the bill.

467
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,122
It's 50,000 yen, right?

468
00:51:00,123 --> 00:51:01,998
Since the New Year,

469
00:51:01,999 --> 00:51:04,668
I've been a little short. Sorry.

470
00:51:04,669 --> 00:51:08,505
We've sold the land with our springs.

471
00:51:08,506 --> 00:51:12,718
I think a tourist agency
wants to build a hotel there.

472
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,462
It's very tedious when
guests come from far away.

473
00:51:16,597 --> 00:51:18,473
And for you, Miss Shinko,

474
00:51:18,474 --> 00:51:22,310
who had to take care of Akitsu Inn,

475
00:51:22,311 --> 00:51:25,356
just because your mother remarried.

476
00:51:25,523 --> 00:51:27,607
My decision is the same.

477
00:51:27,608 --> 00:51:29,526
I'll take care of it myself.

478
00:51:29,527 --> 00:51:32,905
I thought that you hated the job...

479
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:36,409
I have very little choice.

480
00:51:46,753 --> 00:51:48,211
Just in time!

481
00:51:48,212 --> 00:51:50,579
He really wants to leave.

482
00:52:10,318 --> 00:52:11,517
O-Shin!

483
00:52:13,112 --> 00:52:15,238
Stop calling me that!

484
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,940
It makes me feel old.

485
00:52:23,247 --> 00:52:25,823
Tell me about your wife.

486
00:52:27,126 --> 00:52:28,961
O-Tami told you?

487
00:52:29,921 --> 00:52:32,964
You could have
informed me about your marriage.

488
00:52:32,965 --> 00:52:34,748
Strange man!

489
00:52:35,301 --> 00:52:37,877
Why did you bring geishas?

490
00:52:52,527 --> 00:52:54,612
I was afraid to see you again.

491
00:52:55,613 --> 00:52:56,896
Afraid of me?

492
00:52:57,699 --> 00:52:59,106
No.

493
00:52:59,575 --> 00:53:01,692
Afraid of myself.

494
00:53:04,664 --> 00:53:07,198
My life is falling apart.

495
00:53:10,086 --> 00:53:12,745
I know very well that I've changed.

496
00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:15,790
My life isn't easy.

497
00:53:18,261 --> 00:53:20,263
Plus, I'm gonna be a father.

498
00:53:30,148 --> 00:53:32,233
Tell me, your wife...

499
00:53:32,817 --> 00:53:34,600
How is she doing?

500
00:53:37,447 --> 00:53:39,282
Why are you asking?

501
00:53:41,409 --> 00:53:43,818
Because I want to know...

502
00:54:01,512 --> 00:54:03,598
She's like cotton.

503
00:54:05,016 --> 00:54:06,768
Like cotton?

504
00:54:09,354 --> 00:54:13,180
And me? How do you see me?

505
00:54:14,817 --> 00:54:15,933
Tell me...

506
00:54:16,819 --> 00:54:19,103
What am I like?

507
00:54:25,453 --> 00:54:26,986
You...

508
00:54:28,956 --> 00:54:30,322
Shinko...

509
00:54:31,250 --> 00:54:33,020
On the day of defeat,

510
00:54:33,021 --> 00:54:35,786
you cried for hours.

511
00:54:36,756 --> 00:54:38,757
You cried so sincerely,

512
00:54:38,758 --> 00:54:41,000
that I decided to live.

513
00:54:42,595 --> 00:54:44,462
To live just a little.

514
00:55:08,871 --> 00:55:10,540
These hands...

515
00:55:11,624 --> 00:55:13,991
These are what comforted me.

516
00:55:27,557 --> 00:55:29,673
I want to stay like this.

517
00:55:30,643 --> 00:55:32,426
I'm going to miss the bus.

518
00:56:30,203 --> 00:56:32,403
You should get married.

519
00:56:35,917 --> 00:56:37,950
Here, this is for you!

520
00:56:38,252 --> 00:56:41,912
I couldn't give you a wedding present.

521
00:56:43,883 --> 00:56:45,467
Don't say such nonsense!

522
00:56:45,468 --> 00:56:47,344
Promise me this...

523
00:56:47,345 --> 00:56:50,597
That you'll return
to Akitsu with your wife.

524
00:56:50,598 --> 00:56:53,642
Remember that I saved you.

525
00:56:53,643 --> 00:56:56,604
You owe me after all.

526
00:56:56,979 --> 00:57:00,055
Okay? Do you promise?

527
00:57:19,460 --> 00:57:21,753
You're still here?

528
00:57:21,754 --> 00:57:23,871
You're going to catch a cold.

529
00:57:24,674 --> 00:57:26,791
Where is Mr. Kawamoto?

530
00:57:27,301 --> 00:57:29,335
He had to go.

531
00:57:29,971 --> 00:57:32,171
So he already left...

532
00:57:46,081 --> 00:57:47,572
If I...

533
00:57:48,041 --> 00:57:50,575
had known it would be like this...

534
00:57:53,296 --> 00:57:56,789
Instead of having regrets,
I would have chosen death.

535
00:57:58,677 --> 00:58:01,638
After all, this is the result.

536
00:58:03,598 --> 00:58:05,934
I can't do anything else.

537
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:08,509
I haven't done anything!

538
00:58:08,853 --> 00:58:10,803
But it's his fault.

539
00:58:22,242 --> 00:58:24,192
This is all I have left...

540
00:58:25,287 --> 00:58:27,205
This Akitsu Inn.

541
00:58:35,297 --> 00:58:38,257
"Confronted with this glorious nature,"

542
00:58:38,258 --> 00:58:41,886
"I contemplate the futility of Man."

543
00:58:42,429 --> 00:58:46,766
"In the quiet of these remote hills,"

544
00:58:47,350 --> 00:58:51,010
"death is no further away than combat."

545
00:58:52,856 --> 00:58:54,691
I'm hungry!

546
00:58:55,358 --> 00:58:58,236
Daddy will be finished with class soon.

547
00:58:58,486 --> 00:59:02,563
Come help Mommy with packing this up.

548
00:59:16,504 --> 00:59:18,371
Finally done.

549
00:59:22,844 --> 00:59:24,387
Dear...

550
00:59:24,804 --> 00:59:27,223
You don't seem convinced.

551
00:59:29,100 --> 00:59:32,144
Working in Tokyo with a publisher...

552
00:59:32,145 --> 00:59:34,544
doesn't seem to make you happy.

553
00:59:34,545 --> 00:59:38,067
Recommended by my brother,
the famous writer.

554
00:59:38,068 --> 00:59:40,027
What an amazing honor...

555
00:59:40,028 --> 00:59:42,063
You really think that?

556
00:59:42,064 --> 00:59:45,283
Sure. Why do you keep asking?

557
00:59:57,337 --> 00:59:59,254
This came two months ago,

558
00:59:59,256 --> 01:00:01,590
from O-Tami at Akitsu Inn...

559
01:00:01,591 --> 01:00:03,092
Why didn't you say anything?

560
01:00:03,093 --> 01:00:05,262
You might get angry.

561
01:00:05,679 --> 01:00:09,723
I've been afraid to
open the mailbox every day.

562
01:00:09,724 --> 01:00:12,060
I feared other letters would arrive.

563
01:00:12,435 --> 01:00:13,926
From the beginning,

564
01:00:14,187 --> 01:00:16,814
I knew that you were going to Akitsu,

565
01:00:16,815 --> 01:00:18,400
with someone called Shinko.

566
01:00:18,942 --> 01:00:19,858
Nonsense!

567
01:00:19,859 --> 01:00:21,735
It's not nonsense!

568
01:00:21,736 --> 01:00:23,603
The kid is listening!

569
01:00:23,863 --> 01:00:27,273
You only listen to yourself!

570
01:00:50,056 --> 01:00:53,225
Miss Shinko went to admire the cherries.

571
01:00:53,226 --> 01:00:55,562
Isn't it the peak of the season?

572
01:00:55,687 --> 01:00:57,688
We don't get many guests here.

573
01:00:57,689 --> 01:01:00,358
I'll go look for her. Go inside.

574
01:02:19,980 --> 01:02:23,222
It's been a while... Four years?

575
01:02:24,776 --> 01:02:27,362
Why are you just sitting there?

576
01:02:28,363 --> 01:02:30,949
It feels good, cool.

577
01:02:31,741 --> 01:02:33,827
I drank a bit too much.

578
01:02:35,161 --> 01:02:37,414
Same as always, Shinko.

579
01:02:37,914 --> 01:02:39,999
What makes you say that?

580
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,002
You don't know anything!

581
01:02:43,128 --> 01:02:45,296
For you to be able to say that,

582
01:02:45,297 --> 01:02:48,590
you would need to visit me more often!

583
01:02:48,592 --> 01:02:50,301
You're drunk.

584
01:02:50,302 --> 01:02:52,220
Yes, I am.

585
01:02:55,348 --> 01:02:57,434
It's all your fault!

586
01:02:59,269 --> 01:03:00,510
Oh really?

587
01:03:00,812 --> 01:03:02,220
Yes, really.

588
01:03:06,526 --> 01:03:10,572
Anything that's wrong,
I learned it from you.

589
01:03:10,822 --> 01:03:13,491
Alcohol, cigarettes...

590
01:03:15,285 --> 01:03:16,870
From me...

591
01:03:17,329 --> 01:03:19,998
Is there anything you've learned from me?

592
01:03:22,584 --> 01:03:24,867
What have I taught you?

593
01:03:25,545 --> 01:03:26,962
To live.

594
01:03:26,963 --> 01:03:28,371
Right.

595
01:03:29,424 --> 01:03:31,624
You haven't forgotten.

596
01:03:32,093 --> 01:03:33,845
I didn't forget.

597
01:03:34,304 --> 01:03:36,555
But whether I'm alive or dead,

598
01:03:36,556 --> 01:03:38,475
I don't know which one.

599
01:03:39,017 --> 01:03:41,467
I probably shouldn't say that.

600
01:03:42,938 --> 01:03:45,555
Don't worry. I forgive you.

601
01:03:47,275 --> 01:03:50,518
After all,
you came back without forgetting.

602
01:03:54,449 --> 01:03:56,399
It's so dark in here!

603
01:03:56,534 --> 01:03:58,735
O-Tami, same as always!

604
01:03:59,704 --> 01:04:01,330
That again...

605
01:04:01,331 --> 01:04:03,332
How irresponsible!

606
01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:05,669
Arguing already?

607
01:04:10,173 --> 01:04:11,924
O-Tami, I read your letter.

608
01:04:11,925 --> 01:04:14,635
My wife had hidden it from me.

609
01:04:14,636 --> 01:04:16,595
O-Tami, you wrote to him?

610
01:04:16,596 --> 01:04:17,763
Excuse me...

611
01:04:17,764 --> 01:04:20,224
You had no right...

612
01:04:20,225 --> 01:04:21,976
O-Tami, drink with us.

613
01:04:21,977 --> 01:04:24,813
No thanks, I wouldn't want to impose.

614
01:04:50,589 --> 01:04:52,872
It's been ten years...

615
01:04:55,010 --> 01:04:57,929
You were so pale, so fragile.

616
01:04:59,514 --> 01:05:02,100
I haven't done anything this whole time.

617
01:05:05,395 --> 01:05:08,440
I do nothing, I think nothing.

618
01:05:10,066 --> 01:05:12,684
And suddenly, ten years have passed.

619
01:05:17,407 --> 01:05:19,075
That's not true.

620
01:05:19,534 --> 01:05:21,984
Many things have happened.

621
01:05:22,454 --> 01:05:24,821
Nothing but bad things.

622
01:05:27,417 --> 01:05:31,671
When you absolutely wanted
to kill yourself, I was shocked.

623
01:05:32,547 --> 01:05:36,207
I had no idea how hard life could be.

624
01:05:38,345 --> 01:05:40,579
Then, not to be outdone,

625
01:05:40,580 --> 01:05:42,880
I absolutely wanted to live.

626
01:05:46,853 --> 01:05:49,606
I wanted you to feel the same way.

627
01:05:50,982 --> 01:05:53,485
That's what made me live.

628
01:05:58,198 --> 01:06:00,648
But you weren't meant for Akitsu.

629
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,579
You had to leave one day.

630
01:06:07,666 --> 01:06:09,668
Since you've been gone,

631
01:06:10,085 --> 01:06:12,201
what do you think I've been doing?

632
01:06:16,841 --> 01:06:18,624
Waiting patiently.

633
01:06:21,096 --> 01:06:23,431
Waiting to the point of exhaustion.

634
01:06:27,936 --> 01:06:30,303
How stupid, being human.

635
01:06:33,358 --> 01:06:35,694
I'm moving to Tokyo.

636
01:06:37,445 --> 01:06:40,573
This pathetic visit is my last.

637
01:06:45,870 --> 01:06:49,030
I truly am a worthless person.

638
01:06:49,874 --> 01:06:51,710
I don't know how to die.

639
01:06:53,044 --> 01:06:54,994
I'm not young anymore.

640
01:06:56,089 --> 01:06:57,872
But you know, Shinko...

641
01:06:58,508 --> 01:07:01,751
When I came here, I was serious.

642
01:07:02,762 --> 01:07:05,546
I wanted to die here in Akitsu.

643
01:07:06,182 --> 01:07:08,716
Living too, I wanted to do it here.

644
01:07:11,021 --> 01:07:12,887
If you go to Tokyo,

645
01:07:13,189 --> 01:07:15,056
we'll never meet again.

646
01:07:16,526 --> 01:07:19,904
It was bad luck
meeting me in the first place.

647
01:07:20,739 --> 01:07:22,355
With my laziness.

648
01:07:23,533 --> 01:07:24,941
True!

649
01:07:26,077 --> 01:07:29,413
It would have been better
if you died back then.

650
01:07:29,414 --> 01:07:31,248
The time was right.

651
01:07:31,249 --> 01:07:33,616
I was full of enthusiasm.

652
01:07:33,835 --> 01:07:35,878
Youth gone forever.

653
01:07:35,879 --> 01:07:38,339
You would always tell me:

654
01:07:38,340 --> 01:07:40,633
"Life is nothing but a farewell."

655
01:07:40,634 --> 01:07:43,418
"Like a flower in the tempest..."

656
01:07:45,388 --> 01:07:47,389
It was so obvious!

657
01:07:47,390 --> 01:07:49,892
Like a flower in the tempest...

658
01:07:49,893 --> 01:07:52,228
Life is nothing but a farewell.

659
01:07:52,979 --> 01:07:55,731
What rubbish! Let's keep drinking!

660
01:07:55,732 --> 01:07:57,816
- You okay?
- Of course.

661
01:07:57,817 --> 01:08:00,601
If I pass out, you'll take care of me.

662
01:10:26,716 --> 01:10:27,957
O-Shin!

663
01:12:47,315 --> 01:12:49,108
Say, where is Mr. Shûsaku?

664
01:12:49,109 --> 01:12:52,570
He left. Didn't you know?

665
01:12:52,988 --> 01:12:54,687
Call a taxi, quick!

666
01:13:26,229 --> 01:13:28,596
Wait!

667
01:14:14,027 --> 01:14:15,435
Tired?

668
01:14:15,779 --> 01:14:17,072
No.

669
01:14:19,199 --> 01:14:22,191
So... what are you thinking about?

670
01:14:24,245 --> 01:14:25,705
Nothing.

671
01:14:28,583 --> 01:14:30,283
That's good.

672
01:14:30,460 --> 01:14:32,545
I'm thinking the same thing.

673
01:14:33,797 --> 01:14:37,175
Since last night, I can't think anymore.

674
01:15:19,384 --> 01:15:20,969
It's no use.

675
01:15:22,095 --> 01:15:24,295
You're thinking about something.

676
01:15:31,313 --> 01:15:33,732
What? About me?

677
01:15:38,695 --> 01:15:40,561
That's okay then.

678
01:15:54,711 --> 01:15:56,920
Think only of me...

679
01:15:56,922 --> 01:15:58,505
People are looking!

680
01:15:58,506 --> 01:16:00,540
It doesn't matter.

681
01:16:02,510 --> 01:16:04,512
It's fine if they're looking...

682
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,599
I didn't want to leave you,

683
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,800
so I ran after you.

684
01:16:48,556 --> 01:16:49,933
Sorry.

685
01:16:50,517 --> 01:16:51,924
What did you say?

686
01:16:55,313 --> 01:16:56,690
Sorry for you.

687
01:16:57,524 --> 01:16:59,307
What for?

688
01:17:03,822 --> 01:17:05,938
I wanted to slip out quietly.

689
01:17:06,157 --> 01:17:08,576
To spare myself from the grief...

690
01:17:11,871 --> 01:17:13,957
Look at me.

691
01:17:16,167 --> 01:17:17,658
Am I crying?

692
01:17:23,508 --> 01:17:24,999
Am I angry?

693
01:17:30,098 --> 01:17:31,339
So...

694
01:17:32,684 --> 01:17:34,384
Am I smiling?

695
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,316
If you don't say, how will I know?

696
01:17:41,776 --> 01:17:43,184
I don't understand.

697
01:17:44,821 --> 01:17:46,489
I don't understand you.

698
01:17:49,117 --> 01:17:50,785
It's fine if you don't.

699
01:17:56,291 --> 01:17:58,877
If I understand, that's enough.

700
01:19:13,702 --> 01:19:16,694
- I'll write you from Tokyo.
- Don't bother.

701
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:18,789
No letters.

702
01:19:18,790 --> 01:19:20,709
They complicate everything.

703
01:19:24,087 --> 01:19:25,495
I feel...

704
01:19:25,839 --> 01:19:28,915
like I've lived my life
just to watch you leave.

705
01:19:29,759 --> 01:19:31,428
Over and over again...

706
01:19:33,346 --> 01:19:35,463
That won't happen again.

707
01:19:38,518 --> 01:19:40,978
<i>At this time,</i>

708
01:19:40,979 --> 01:19:44,524
<i>the passengers for Okayama...</i>

709
01:19:44,899 --> 01:19:49,571
<i>may board the platform.</i>

710
01:19:50,196 --> 01:19:52,897
<i>Attention, the last train...</i>

711
01:20:17,849 --> 01:20:19,558
You're terrible.

712
01:20:19,559 --> 01:20:21,426
Now I can't go back.

713
01:20:22,395 --> 01:20:24,064
Are you mad?

714
01:20:25,273 --> 01:20:27,390
I can't be mad at you.

715
01:21:56,906 --> 01:21:58,742
I'm guilty...

716
01:21:59,534 --> 01:22:01,651
Guilty to your wife.

717
01:22:05,165 --> 01:22:07,615
I often think about her.

718
01:22:11,879 --> 01:22:13,256
I'm sorry.

719
01:22:20,305 --> 01:22:22,557
Why did we come here?

720
01:22:41,743 --> 01:22:43,286
Idiot!

721
01:24:23,710 --> 01:24:25,461
I...

722
01:24:26,379 --> 01:24:28,537
can die now.

723
01:24:30,091 --> 01:24:32,750
No matter how far you are,

724
01:24:35,596 --> 01:24:38,380
if I learn that you've died,

725
01:24:39,642 --> 01:24:42,051
I'll be ready.

726
01:25:38,242 --> 01:25:40,734
I would like to see you leave.

727
01:25:43,039 --> 01:25:44,655
Go on, leave.

728
01:28:00,301 --> 01:28:01,927
I was waiting for you yesterday.

729
01:28:01,928 --> 01:28:03,887
I made no promises.

730
01:28:03,888 --> 01:28:05,347
I waited...

731
01:28:05,348 --> 01:28:07,923
Hey, pack of Hi-lite.

732
01:28:15,942 --> 01:28:18,568
Leave, or they'll notice you.

733
01:28:18,569 --> 01:28:19,736
Fine with me.

734
01:28:19,737 --> 01:28:21,145
Not for me.

735
01:28:27,704 --> 01:28:29,788
You take everything so seriously.

736
01:28:29,789 --> 01:28:31,197
You're mistaken.

737
01:28:31,916 --> 01:28:33,750
Next Saturday, okay?

738
01:28:33,751 --> 01:28:35,753
No, I made a promise.

739
01:28:45,096 --> 01:28:47,264
You're not going to Okayama with him?

740
01:28:47,265 --> 01:28:51,393
Mr. Matsumiya should write
"My Homeland" for us.

741
01:28:51,394 --> 01:28:52,519
Come on!

742
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,179
You haven't gone back there
since you started here.

743
01:28:56,607 --> 01:28:57,649
I don't want to.

744
01:28:57,650 --> 01:28:58,984
Why not?

745
01:28:58,985 --> 01:29:01,069
Too many memories.

746
01:29:01,070 --> 01:29:03,229
Don't be silly, this is an order.

747
01:29:40,109 --> 01:29:43,102
Thank you for the bath.

748
01:29:44,572 --> 01:29:47,940
Miss Shinko, come have a cup of tea.

749
01:29:52,330 --> 01:29:55,832
You know how to make your own decisions.

750
01:29:55,833 --> 01:29:59,326
Selling Akitsu Inn like this.

751
01:29:59,504 --> 01:30:01,171
I had no other choice.

752
01:30:01,172 --> 01:30:03,256
You must be quite lonely.

753
01:30:03,257 --> 01:30:05,176
Come live with us.

754
01:30:05,426 --> 01:30:07,344
Well, I've thought about it.

755
01:30:07,345 --> 01:30:09,462
Great! Have you really?

756
01:30:13,601 --> 01:30:15,394
Just for a while.

757
01:30:15,395 --> 01:30:17,063
During reconstruction.

758
01:30:17,064 --> 01:30:19,523
Certainly, don't be shy.

759
01:30:19,524 --> 01:30:21,108
This is wonderful!

760
01:30:21,109 --> 01:30:23,309
I hate this village.

761
01:30:23,569 --> 01:30:25,405
I can relate.

762
01:30:25,822 --> 01:30:27,438
You like it?

763
01:30:27,740 --> 01:30:30,618
At your age, I hated it.

764
01:30:31,994 --> 01:30:34,695
But I couldn't leave.

765
01:30:34,914 --> 01:30:37,332
I'll leave. When I find a lover.

766
01:30:37,333 --> 01:30:38,333
Naoko!

767
01:30:38,334 --> 01:30:39,710
What?

768
01:30:39,711 --> 01:30:41,952
Don't say dumb things!

769
01:30:42,672 --> 01:30:44,705
Naoko, you're right.

770
01:30:44,966 --> 01:30:47,249
I thought the same thing.

771
01:30:47,802 --> 01:30:49,502
That's right.

772
01:30:50,763 --> 01:30:53,839
The double suicide, is it true?

773
01:30:55,184 --> 01:30:58,177
It's wonderful to be so in love!

774
01:30:59,772 --> 01:31:02,014
That was a long time ago.

775
01:31:05,945 --> 01:31:08,395
I've forgotten everything.

776
01:31:49,989 --> 01:31:51,657
O-Shin!

777
01:31:58,206 --> 01:32:00,948
It's me, Kawamoto.

778
01:32:42,667 --> 01:32:44,533
Can I come in?

779
01:33:00,268 --> 01:33:01,884
Where were you?

780
01:33:02,145 --> 01:33:04,553
At the temple, to take a bath.

781
01:33:05,606 --> 01:33:07,023
A bath?

782
01:33:07,025 --> 01:33:09,600
I've sold the inn and the springs.

783
01:33:09,819 --> 01:33:11,268
That's right.

784
01:33:11,904 --> 01:33:14,146
They told me in Yumoto.

785
01:33:20,955 --> 01:33:23,155
Akitsu has changed, hasn't it?

786
01:33:26,753 --> 01:33:29,036
Only you haven't changed.

787
01:33:55,323 --> 01:33:57,606
How's it going in Tokyo?

788
01:34:02,205 --> 01:34:03,696
It's okay...

789
01:34:04,332 --> 01:34:06,031
Pretty sluggish.

790
01:34:06,501 --> 01:34:08,367
That's about it.

791
01:34:13,007 --> 01:34:14,331
Madame!

792
01:34:16,501 --> 01:34:18,595
The demolition is in two days.

793
01:34:18,596 --> 01:34:21,589
Could you move tomorrow, on Sunday?

794
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,309
If you pack up,

795
01:34:24,310 --> 01:34:26,603
I'll send one of my guys.

796
01:34:26,604 --> 01:34:27,604
Thank you.

797
01:34:27,605 --> 01:34:29,305
No, thank you!

798
01:34:33,778 --> 01:34:35,478
Where will you move?

799
01:34:36,948 --> 01:34:39,857
To the temple annex at first.

800
01:34:42,745 --> 01:34:44,862
Then what will you do?

801
01:34:45,081 --> 01:34:47,582
When the boarding house is finished,

802
01:34:47,583 --> 01:34:50,075
I'll get a job there.

803
01:34:57,176 --> 01:34:58,959
You have any saké?

804
01:35:00,304 --> 01:35:02,338
I want some alcohol.

805
01:35:20,950 --> 01:35:22,451
It's all right here.

806
01:35:22,452 --> 01:35:24,777
Thanks. Come on in.

807
01:35:25,204 --> 01:35:27,738
You have a guest. I'll come back.

808
01:35:32,045 --> 01:35:33,378
Who's she?

809
01:35:33,379 --> 01:35:35,297
The monk's granddaughter.

810
01:35:35,298 --> 01:35:39,041
She lived in Tsuyama, but she got bored.

811
01:35:43,389 --> 01:35:45,089
She's 17.

812
01:35:48,019 --> 01:35:51,470
You and I first met 17 years ago.

813
01:35:53,149 --> 01:35:55,433
It's been 17 years.

814
01:36:01,574 --> 01:36:03,357
Can I sleep here?

815
01:36:14,545 --> 01:36:15,962
I'll stay.

816
01:36:15,963 --> 01:36:17,329
Okay?

817
01:36:41,322 --> 01:36:43,115
Find me a razor.

818
01:36:43,116 --> 01:36:44,732
I'd like to shave.

819
01:36:49,914 --> 01:36:52,364
Wouldn't you like to bathe?

820
01:38:03,988 --> 01:38:07,815
Die... Die with me.

821
01:38:08,743 --> 01:38:10,776
Please, let's die.

822
01:38:13,456 --> 01:38:15,614
Did you hear what I said?

823
01:38:16,250 --> 01:38:17,741
You heard me?

824
01:38:19,295 --> 01:38:21,579
Say something.

825
01:38:29,347 --> 01:38:32,089
When you asked me to die with you,

826
01:38:32,308 --> 01:38:34,008
I couldn't.

827
01:38:35,937 --> 01:38:38,220
It seemed so strange.

828
01:38:39,482 --> 01:38:41,557
I was sorry for you,

829
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,852
but I thought it was strange.

830
01:38:46,572 --> 01:38:48,574
Now I'm prepared.

831
01:38:49,117 --> 01:38:50,952
A quiet heart,

832
01:38:51,119 --> 01:38:52,953
thinking of nothing,

833
01:38:52,954 --> 01:38:55,070
I can die with you.

834
01:39:01,921 --> 01:39:04,288
You're talking crazy.

835
01:39:12,306 --> 01:39:15,382
Why? Why is that?

836
01:39:18,312 --> 01:39:20,314
You're disturbed.

837
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:24,850
We've lived our lives.

838
01:39:28,698 --> 01:39:31,232
Life or death...

839
01:39:32,493 --> 01:39:34,819
It belongs in the past.

840
01:40:34,972 --> 01:40:36,681
Don't escort me.

841
01:40:36,683 --> 01:40:38,758
You hate it, right?

842
01:41:42,206 --> 01:41:43,739
Go back.

843
01:41:44,375 --> 01:41:47,284
If you escort me,
I won't be able to leave.

844
01:42:27,418 --> 01:42:30,045
Let's die! Die with me!

845
01:42:30,046 --> 01:42:31,745
What are you saying?

846
01:42:32,298 --> 01:42:34,174
Let's die!

847
01:42:34,175 --> 01:42:35,842
That makes no sense!

848
01:42:35,843 --> 01:42:38,544
Why won't you die with me?

849
01:42:40,682 --> 01:42:43,174
This is a bad joke.

850
01:43:01,744 --> 01:43:03,277
It's true...

851
01:43:03,705 --> 01:43:06,582
I did ask you to die with me.

852
01:43:06,874 --> 01:43:10,003
But that was only a lie.

853
01:43:10,670 --> 01:43:13,287
It's not so easy to die.

854
01:43:13,756 --> 01:43:15,966
Life might not be happy,

855
01:43:15,967 --> 01:43:19,043
but that's just
the way it is for mankind.

856
01:43:19,846 --> 01:43:23,005
I'm here with you now.

857
01:43:38,197 --> 01:43:40,314
Now, stand up.

858
01:43:41,534 --> 01:43:43,369
I know how you feel.

859
01:43:44,328 --> 01:43:46,487
More than you even know.

860
01:43:49,459 --> 01:43:52,754
But this is just a fleeting emotion.

861
01:43:53,463 --> 01:43:55,538
Tomorrow is another day.

862
01:43:56,507 --> 01:43:58,707
You'll forget about everything.

863
01:43:59,071 --> 01:44:01,335
There, stand up.

864
01:44:38,758 --> 01:44:40,958
Let's leave on good terms.

865
01:44:45,598 --> 01:44:47,183
Stay here.

866
01:44:48,476 --> 01:44:51,552
I'll be back, without a doubt.

867
01:49:41,102 --> 01:49:43,021
Why?

868
01:49:45,398 --> 01:49:47,807
Why did you have to die?

869
01:52:03,786 --> 01:52:08,331
THE END
