You were great.

Stop it.

Could you check this?

- Miss Suzumura.
- Yes.

You seem distracted.

I'm sorry. It's nothing.

You leave today
for a business trip to Osaka.

You're in charge while I'm gone.

I envy you. You must have scheduled
a round of golf during the trip.

I'll be far too busy for such leisure.

- Take this to Administration.
- Yes.

- Togura.
- Oh, excuse me.

No! Not yet!

I can't hold it. We're still working.
We can't take too much time.

No. Don't come yet.

I can't hold it.

I'm coming.

''Seventy percent of elite
businessmen are virgins.''

''Marriage proposal rate
for single office girls increases.''

It says that these elites are in a hurry
to get rid of their virginity.

They must be exaggerating it.
I'm sure.

They must be.

But I feel a bit anxious.

I'm sorry, Komako.
I can't go tonight.

You're sure you can't?

It would be fun
to go out just with us girls.

I promised my father
I'd go shopping with him.

- Then you must join us tomorrow night.
- Okay.

- Good-bye.
- See you.

Asami is always talking about her dad.

Who knows,
it could be her sugar daddy.

You're quick.

You told me to be quick,
so you can catch your train.

I'm hungry.

Well, well. Can't wait, eh?

Dummy.

I'm going to take a bath.

You can do that later.

I like it when you're dirty.

No, don't.

- No.
- Hey.

Do you love me?

Uh-huh.

Say it.

I love you.

Father.

You've had too much.

You promised me to keep it
to one glass of sake a day.

It's just that when you come home late--

I'm saying it for your sake.

Did you eat?

I did.

Asami.

Remember I told you

about this guy called Tsukamoto
in my office?

I remember.

You said he'd make a good husband.

What do you think of meeting him?

Not that I'm pushing you or anything,

but you're already 2 4.

And I'm getting too comfortable
living with you.

Tsukamoto is the youngest child,

and his parents are eager
for him get married.

If you don't mind,

what do you think of meeting him
this weekend?

- Father!
-just half a glass.

- No.
- Please.

No!

A little, then.

Anyway, meet him once.

He's a nice, proper young man,
rare for these days.

Do you want to go the bar
around the corner?

All right.

Komako skipped out on us tonight.

- Isn't her date in Sales?
- What about it?

I thought her boyfriend
was in Administration.

Huh?

You dummy,
her ''boyfriend'' changes daily.

That's why people call her
''public convenience.''

What do you mean?

What do you want to eat?

I want yakitori.

Oh, look. They're so cute.

They look cold.

Maybe I'll get some.

They'll make fine toys.

Let me have these two pink ones
and that blue one there.

They'll die pretty soon.

What do you mean?

Why do you sell these chicks
if you know they'll die?

Even if I didn't sell them,
they would die anyway.

Male chicks are only good
for becoming pig feed.

How cruel.

Yes.

If you put a real effort
into taking care of them,

two or three out of a hundred
might survive.

But I don't think you're up to it.

- You're rude.
- Did he just insult us?

- Let's go.
- He's not right in the head.

Come on, let's go.

Asami! Your father's home.

I've brought back something for you.

Why are you so drunk?

I'm not drunk.

I had a great time.

- Father.
- Stop fussing!

I ran into an old friend today.

I ran into a brother in arms,
whom I haven't seen for 30 years.

No matter.
Who's going to care for your health?

It's your body.

I know.

You're just like your dead mother.

She used to scold me all the time.

It's because

I want you to live
for a very, very long time.

Yeah. I'll be retiring this spring.

My old friend and I were saying

that we were buck privates

during the war and in society.

You'll catch cold if you stay like that.

Father.

We were buck privates--

Look, don't you think my tummy
is bulging a bit?

What do you think?

You snack too much.

Snacking is her only source of pleasure.

On the other hand, it's sad to seek
pleasure only in sex like Komako.

She's acting a little odd today.

Maybe her date dumped her last night.

Does that feel good?

The rumors are true.

You'll sleep with anybody.

That's not true. That's a lie.

Stop it.

Stop.

No.

What happened to you?

You know,

don't you think I'm an unlucky woman?

Though I've been with many men,
I'm unlucky in love.

I always get betrayed by men.

Being an office girl is no fun.

I envy men.

They face tough competition,

but they have something
to compete for.

Even if we women work really hard,

we'll never even make it
to section chief.

That's true. We only get compliments
like ''beauties in the office.''

I've realized that
I'm the oldest female in the office.

Actually, I wanted to start
a service business

and have a small shop of my own.

You would've been successful.

Today's my last day
as a twenty-something.

Your birthday is tomorrow?

That's right.

But I don't have anyone
to celebrate it with.

Asami, you're lucky.
You have your father.

If you like, you could come
to my house tomorrow.

Really? You're inviting me?

Yes, if you like.

I'm happy!

I always wanted to meet your father.

Oh, I'm so happy.

You surprised me.
I wasn't expecting your call.

Komako seemed to guess
it was from you.

I don't care.

You were supposed
to be back tomorrow.

I brought back sushi from Kyoto
to share with you.

Stay with me tonight.

I can't.

Why not?

I can't tonight.

Hey!

Underwear?

No so loud.
People are looking at us.

What about your underwear?

I didn't expect to see you tonight,
so I'm not wearing something nice.

I don't care about that.

But I do.

Then buy something at a department store.

How much will it cost?
5,000 yen? Or 1 0,000?

Hurry up.

Hey, I'm going to a marriage meeting.

I'm going to get married.

I'll really do it.

Do you want to get a coffee?

Is that a gift for your child?

It's just something they wanted.

You should go home. Bye.

You idiot!

Watch where you're going.

Right.
Watch where you're going.

You fuck!

From now on, be careful.

From now on, you be careful.

Fuck! Stop clowning.

Are you okay?

What a brute he was.

Little shits like him want to act tough.

You live around here?

No.

Let me do it!

No! I'm in love with someone!

Sorry.

It's all because of this little guy.

You fool.

What? It's deflated.

Damn you.

It's your fault, you prick.

Apologize, you sorry dick.

Idiot.

Damn you.

Stupid.

Hello.

I'm Komako Izumida.

Asami talks about you all the time.

She must be complaining about me.

Not at all.
She's says how sweet her daddy is.

I let it slip.

It's okay.

Really?
You aren't offended?

No at all.

Then I'll call you Daddy
from now on.

I really wanted to meet you.

I'm honored.

You are a gentleman
just as I imagined.

Oh, excuse me.

You cook?

I wanted to make you something
for your birthday.

What's the matter?

I've never received such kind words
from a man.

Well, cooking is the only hobby I have.

Cooking is your hobby?

Yes. There's not much else
that I'm good for.

If I could start over, I wouldn't
do office work for anything.

I'd become a chef in a second.

It would suit you.

What could Asami be doing?

- Never mind Asami.
- Huh?

Daddy--
Rather, Mr. Suzumura,

what do you think of a woman
who likes to drink?

Likes to drink?

- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday.

There, Komako.

- Asami, come on, hurry.
- Happy birthday, Komako.

- You're great.
- No, no.

Oh, no.

He started playing piano
when he was four years old.

And you, Miss Asami?

I do a little calligraphy.

Oh, that's wonderful.

So you served in Manchuria?
I served there myself--

- Dear, that's not a good topic.
- Oh?

We're so very fortunate to make
the acquaintance of Miss Asami.

Since my wife passed away,
Asami has done all the housework.

Now that I've raised her,

all I wish is to see her as a happy bride.

- Excuse me for a moment.
- Please.

Hiroshi, sit down.

- I wish for our lasting relationship.
- Likewise.

- Excuse me.
- Oh, please.

This is a surprise.
Why are you dressed up?

Why are you?

I'm attending a relative's wedding.

You're not here
for a marriage meeting, are you?

I am.

Well!

You look sexy.
You're turning me on.

Stop talking nonsense.

I want to do it.

No! Not in a place like this.

It's great to do it in a place like this.

I'm sorry, but today's my risky day.

Don't worry about that.

No.

No.

No.

No!

I'm scared of getting pregnant.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell you,
but I had a vasectomy.

When? When did you do it?

Last year.

Right after you aborted my child.

So you don't have to worry.

No. You're lying.

Which classical
composers do you like?

Me? I'm not sure.

How about Schumann?

I think his music is fine.

When it comes to piano music,

musical experts have
higher regard for Chopin.

But I prefer Schumann.

- Listen, Mr. Tsukamoto.
- Yes.

Would you like to know what I like?

Please.

That's what I like. Get it?

Wait.
That's actually what I like too.

I don't need a bag.

You're drinking with your father?

I should share a drink
with him sometimes.

Thank you very much.

What shall we name the restaurant?

Let me see.

How about Harukoma,
named after Komako?

After my name?

Hello.

Asami, this is a good time.

I have something to tell you.

If it's about marrying Mr. Tsukamoto,
it's no good.

His family will probably
refuse the match.

No, it's not about that.

Actually, it's about--

Listen.
I've decided to marry Daddy.

Is that all right with you?

We've made up our minds.

When Daddy retires,
we're going to open a restaurant.

Pork cutlet will be the specialty.

I'll quit my job, of course.

Together, we'll start a new life.

Asami, you don't object, do you?

Thanks.

I've thought about this a great deal.

I don't want to be a burden to you
when you get married.

It's okay, Father.
You've made the right decision.

Congratulations.

Thank you. I'm happy.

- This is great.
- Yes, I'm relieved.

I'm sure we'll be successful
as long as we work together.

Asami, you're really okay about us?

Of course.

Komako,

take good care of my father.

Don't worry. Right, honey?

Well, I'm--

Hey. What's up?

I just felt like seeing your chicks.

I'm making lunch.
Wanna join me?

Sure.

Oh! Are you moving?

Yeah.

When you live with these chicks,
you grow fond of them.

I don't want to color them
red or blue anymore.

- You're changing careers?
- Yeah.

I'm from Kyushu.
I'll go home and start over.

How's it going with your boyfriend?

I'm not sure.

Are you in love with anyone?

I am, with the girl in this room.

What?

You're joking.

Women are puzzling to me.

I'll settle for any girl
who would bear my child.

You're not particular

Right. I'm not.

All right. It's ready.

That was a nice ''crack.''

This looks good.

Why don't you come with me?

''Eat some ramen
and win a trip to Hawaii!''

Wait.

Manager.

Today's management meeting
is rescheduled to start at 3:00.

I see.
You have the reports ready?

WIND

Why do you have the door open?
It's cold.

Go take a soak in the bath.

Are you still upset about that thing?

I had the vasectomy for your sake.

Don't tell me you want my child.
Or do you?

No, that's not it.

You already have three children
of your own.

Come on.

Is that what you wanted to say

by dragging me to the lake
where we spent that memorable night?

Winter is not the right time
to come to the lake.

It's simply too cold.

It was winter then, too.

A strong wind was blowing.

You were standing here.

And you said that winter was
the best time to come to the lake.

That's a trivial matter.

Come here.

I was...

frightened by the sound of the wind,

and I clung to you the whole night

as I cried.

What's the matter?
You're sitting in the dark.

It's getting chilly.

I brought hot sake for you.

Here you are.

Let me fill your cup.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm intruding.

I'll leave it to you.

- Wait. Where are you going?
- I'm going home.

What? You're the one
who wanted to come here.

Asami, I'm sorry.

Let's make up.

Are you in love with someone else?

No.

But I'm breaking up with you.

No! I'll never let you go!

- No! Let me go!
- Asami!

Stop it!
Let me go!

Stop it. Please!
Let me go.

No! No!

No. Please.

Stop it. Please.

Stop.

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop it, please.

There is too much sadness

Around me

I'm leaving on a journey.

To some place far away

Filling my pockets with memories

I got on a train alone

Outside the train's window

An image slips by

Of who I was until yesterday

A bitter life

To which I will never return

I must say good-bye to this city too

I have no tears left to shed

Starting tomorrow
I will be carefree

I will live as free as the wind

Being alone makes me light-hearted

Close your eyes and your heart

And close your open book

Oh, I am a wind
I am a wind

I will continue on my endless journey

Make love to me
as much as you like

When you're done

I'm saying good-bye to you

Because I am

A carefree woman

A carefree wind

Deep in my dream

A pale purple mist

Flows away

Tell me somebody

Where I am going

THE END
