Hi, oshizu!

A missing person?

What's his reason?

What does it say?

"Tora, we're all worried about you.

"Contact us.

"From sakura."

He left home.

Why did he leave home?

A woman. It's obvious. They eloped.

Awful, isn't it?

What a bum!

Lunch?

Where to?

Katsuyama.

490 yen.

Two, please.

Wait 30 minutes.

Doesn't matter.

Thanks.

Dragonflies!

A missing person?

"We're all worried..."

Got away!

Good morning.

The delivery?

It's done.

Good.

It got cool, aunty. It's Autumn now.

Come here.

What is it?

She said to run that ad again.

I said no. Tora doesn't read newspapers.

It's so small, too.

But it was last January,

he sent these cookies from Kobe. No news since then.

Stop worrying.

If he dies, the Kobe city office will notify us.

But he doesn't carry identifications.

"No news is good news," they say.

Don't worry.

He's doing all right.

After great earthquake - volunteers 7st year

we must watch this.

Tora should learn from those volunteers.

He only makes trouble.

8 months since the earthquake.

The Kobe streets are being reconstructed

how terrible!

Look at that guy.

Him!

If it wasn't...

He looked like him.

Couldn't have been him.

I was surprised.

He had a suitcase, didn't he?

Lots of people have suitcases.

But it was square.

That's his face.

That hat!

I'll ask the prime minister to do his best. Hang on!

Okay, pm?

Brother!

Let's go, pm.

All kinds of volunteers rushed to Kobe...

From around Japan.

They 're helping the reconstruction.

This year is called "I/olunteers 7st year."

Him again.

He's working.

Hiroshi! It's tora.

A volunteer!

We saw it on TV!

- Saw whom? — brother!

He was on TV.

He's in Kobe.

No. The pictures were taken months ago.

But we saw his square face.

They showed the pictures now.

Wait. You saw his square face in a Kobe disaster area?

He's alive.

I was so surprised.

What about tora?

Shut up.

Let me sort this out. You saw tora...

In pictures taken months ago, right?

It means he was in Kobe when the earthquake happened.

A guest came from Kobe to see tora.

From Kobe?

Hello.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm tora's sister. May I help you?

Then, you are sakura?

He often spoke about you.

I run a bakery in Kobe.

I came to Tokyo...

On business. So I dropped in to see tora.

Is your brother out?

He hasn't returned from his trip yet.

Hasn't returned yet?

Please sit down anyway.

Make him some tea.

Did my brother cause you any trouble?

No, not in the least.

He helped the victims a lot.

When we allocated relief goods,

he helped old people first...

Placing the crowd in order.

When we talked with city office,

he took the initiative.

He said, "why so slow, mayor?

"Being square only won't help."

His face was square, too.

He helped us a great deal.

We wished he'd stay forever.

If only that hadn't happened.

"That?"

An ex—geisha was among the victims.

She is lovely, with fair skin.

She's beautiful.

And tora was very kind to her.

We can guess what happened next.

You can?

He left Kobe because of her. Is that it?

Exactly! His sister knows well.

Of course we tried to stop him.

But he said he was too busy to stay a volunteer in Kobe forever.

He said so and went away.

He annoyed you people after all.

Oh, no.

I managed to open my bakery last month.

My wife and I baked these cookies for you.

Thank you.

Have him come inside.

Thanks. But I have to go.

So soon?

I must buy a few things and...

Return to Kobe today. Excuse me.

Is that so?

Tell tora that I came.

Say baker ishikura. He'll know.

Goodbye.

Thank you for coming.

A gift for him.

Excuse me.

Sweets, specialties of this place.

For you people.

Thank you very much.

I wish you luck.

Thank you. I'll start over.

Kobe is hanging on.

Looks delicious.

I'm back.

Hi, there.

Tired?

Tora was in Kobe.

I heard it at the shop.

He was a volunteer, wasn't he?

I'm not sure you can call him a volunteer.

In short, he has no sense of order and...

No sense of value.

He's a screwed-up man.

But his latent ability shows at...

Times of emergency.

What do you mean?

In short, he helped other people.

I should have gone to Kobe as a volunteer.

Then I could've met uncle.

A woman phoned. Her name was noda.

I see.

Why not phone her?

Never mind.

Who is she?

A girlfriend. He has a few others, too.

What's with him?

He's old enough to think about marriage.

He loves izumi after all.

Even now?

She's his first love.

He can't forget her.

That's how mitsuo is.

Then why doesn't he tell her so?

I wish he could.

The other day, I asked him what he thought about her.

What did he say?

He looked aside and said he was through with her.

He said so? He's hopeless.

Black ones.

This, next.

Complicated, eh?

This is the point.

Looks cute.

Suwa.

You're smart, eh?

Why?

A pretty visitor is here.

Excuse me.

I don't have girlfriends.

Stop making fun of me.

Izumi!

Hi!

What brings you?

I missed you.

You're lying.

You should've phoned me.

Sorry. I suddenly got the urge to come.

From nagoya?

Let's talk outside.

It's all right. I'm not very busy.

No good coffee shops around.

Aren't you working?

Doesn't matter.

Hiroshi!

It's from sakura.

Hello?

Is izumi coming to our place?

She's in Tokyo now.

I don't know what she wants.

Anyway, she'll stay the night. I'll cook her something.

Come home early?

I'll manage to come home for supper. Don't worry. Bye.

Can you do it?

Clumsy! Ever opened a champagne bottle?

My favorite drink.

The other way around.

Slowly pull. Like this.

Delicious!

Have one more.

Eat more.

Thanks, but she cooked something else, too.

Serve it now?

Yes.

Looks delicious!

She's pretty.

Think so?

It's her makeup.

I didn't mean that.

She has a Beau. It's obvious.

Then she wouldn't have come to see mitsuo.

Maybe she has none.

Drink more.

Here you are. The dish sakura boasts of.

Here it comes.

It sure is delicious!

Wonderful!

Wake up, mitsuo.

Look at the moon. It's round.

Maybe a full moon tonight.

I think I'll take a walk.

Why not go by bicycle?

Lovely moon. Why don't we go cycling?

Why not?

Escort her.

I know.

Be careful.

See you!

This one?

Yeah, it's mom's. I'll use dad's.

He's got short legs.

I don't think she came just for fun.

Of course not. She's here to have a serious talk with him.

About what?

That's the question.

This is no time to get drunk.

The water's tasty now.

I'm drunk. Drinking and bicycles don't mix.

I did it when I was a student.

Want a drink? Hungry? We ate just now.

Will you listen to me?

Sure. What about?

Korean barbecue...

I think I'll get married.

So you've got a Beau?

Fried chicken...

I met him last summer.

A marriage interview? And you liked him?

He's a serious person. A young doctor.

He's an intern at a hospital now.

He'll go home to tsuyama and succeed his father.

Tsuyama?

I've been there on business.

A nice place.

There's a spa. I stayed there.

And the outdoor bath! Mixed bathing...

Forget the outdoor bath.

I'm talking about my marriage.

I'm glad you met a nice man.

I wanted to tell you before I made up my mind.

Don't worry about me. I'm going my way myself.

Bring me an ashtray!

No smoking there.

Yeah? I see.

Where's the toilet?

Go to the right.

How disgusting!

Dammit!

Mitsuo told me you'll get married...

To a very nice man.

Your mother must be happy.

It's for her sake, too.

You've been having a hard time.

I wish you happiness.

Thank you.

So, mitsuo got jilted.

Too bad.

For you.

Thank you.

My best to your mother.

"The song was written only now.

"But it brings peace to my mind.

"The song will carry my love...

"Far beyond the immense sky.

"The times are leaving a wrong track behind.

"What do you want from such times?

"Our dreams and hopes are the only thing...

"That can bring change to our future.

"If someone begins to run, yelling loudly,

"another person will laugh at him.

"But, if your heart is filled with sorrow,

"if you're filled with grief in your mind,

"your voice and mine will begin everything.

"Yes, our voices will start everything anew..."

Idiot!

What's the idea?

Him.

Get him! Fool!

It's still raining.

Kurumaya speaking.

Weather? It's been raining since yesterday.

Then it's raining all over Japan.

I feel rotten. The landscape looks so vague.

Who is this?

Sorry. It's tora. Tora.

T or a who?

What? Where's sakura? Get her.

She is out.

Call someone else.

Nobodys here.

They all dead?

They 're alive.

Alive? Great!

Then tell them not to worry about me.

It's been a long time, but I'm okay.

What a stupid woman!

Miss, this phone has no cord!

Young madam.

A tora phoned just now. Told me to get sakura.

Where was he?

He didn't tell me about it.

He's alive? I shouldn't have worried.

I wish he were home at a time like this.

What's wrong? You look pale.

Mitsuo has been missing for two days now.

You here?

I'll go to his company. His boss wants me.

Hard, isn't it?

He still worries his parents. What a shame!

Tsuyama, okayama prefecture

She's ready?

I'm coming. Thank you for the call.

Dressing room

come in.

Your mother's here.

Congratulations!

She's so pretty.

Your father should be here, too.

I'm sorry.

In ancient times, tsuyama belonged to a feudal lord.

People here are still proud of it.

We often speak ill of others, fight with each other.

But when in Tokyo, we never speak ill of tsuyama.

That's how we tsuyama people are.

Isn't that right, driver?

Let's take photos.

You never stop. That's enough.

Snap her face.

Granny's coming.

Here she is.

Don't shout before the ceremony.

Hurry now.

Smile.

That's enough.

It's time.

Let's go.

Granny.

The bride's coming.

Megumi!

Four in your car, okay?

You take this car.

Be careful, driver.

This is an old town and there are...

Lots of old customs.

On happy occasions, there are many things...

We mustn't say or eat. People are fussy!

Know this?

A bride's car must never turn back, for any reason.

"Going back" is bad luck.

Can't go back even an inch.

Understand?

This place hasn't changed a bit.

Many samurai walked to the castle...

Using this alley.

That car! Parked at such a place!

It's coming!

Darn it!

There's a bride here. Will you back up?

Hey, you listening?

What's the idea?

Young man!

What's up?

He ignores me.

Hey, open the window.

Open up.

Unlock it!

What are you doing?

Watch out!

What the...

Open it!

That's mitsuo.

What's on his mind?

Excuse me.

Do you know him?

What's up?

Itslocked.

It can't be.

Izumi! Izumi!

Call off your marriage!

Don't marry him!

Damn you! Idiot!

Uncle mori said to tell everyone:

The wedding's called off for today!

Understand? It's called off!

Stop it now!

Answer it.

Hello?

That's right.

Izumi's mother?

Congratulations!

Hello?

Why on earth must mitsuo do this to us?

Izumi was sincere with mitsuo about all this.

She told him about her marriage in advance.

Wait a minute.

I don't understand.

What did mitsuo do? Make trouble or something?

He destroyed izumi's happiness!

He has no right to...

Hello? What happened?

Hello?

Where to?

I'll go back to nagoya. I'll take a bus.

Nonsense! We must apologize...

To the groom and his family. Then we'll talk it over.

It's too late.

How do you know?

This is enough.

Will you apologize?

Wait!

Please!

Izumi!

Amami oshima island

Keep one for me.

Will do.

We go to kakeroma island!

Hey, wait!

Shopping, Lily?

What's up?

That kid worries me.

He won't kill himself, but...

Kids nowadays...

They're aliens.

Thanks, skipper.

A tokyoite?

Maybe.

Been waiting?

Will the engine start?

It's started!

Where are you headed?

I don't know yet.

You a tourist?

In a way.

Get in.

Thank you.

Look. That's a cemetery.

The pacific. Sometimes whales swim by.

I'll get off. Thank you for the ride.

Shall I wait?

No, thank you. Goodbye.

Don't be hasty. Think tw/ce.

He fell!

Don't die!

You shocked me!

How dirty! It's got on my face!

Hi!

Why take a leak here? Fool!

Sorry. Is it forbidden?

I thought you'd died.

I was shocked.

I'm sorry.

Did I look like that?

Of course.

You've been irking me.

Don't make others worry.

Idiot!

Come.

Where to?

We can't stay here.

You were hungry.

I haven't eaten since last night.

Want one more?

No, thanks.

Pay with this.

I'll pay for mine.

Never mind.

Where will you stay?

At a hotel.

You can't afford it.

I'll sleep outside. It's warm.

What a boy! Why not come to my place?

I can't impose on you.

If you kill yourself, how'd I feel?

Some kid I got involved with.

Let's go.

This way.

Do you live on this island?

Just a stranger.

I like this island.

I wanted to live here.

I got married. But my man died soon.

I bought that house with his money.

Then, you live alone?

Yes, but I have a freeloader with me.

He's broke, too.

You don't have to mind him.

Tora! I'm back!

Welcome back.

Hi!

Who can you be?

Who else? It's me, uncle!

You're mitsuo!

I missed you. Why are you here?

Why are you here?

I even thought of killing myself.

You sure?

Tora.

Then... if it isn't...

Yeah. He's my nephew, sakura's son.

Mitsuo, then?

I thought I'd seen him somewhere.

She's Lily. Lily.

You're so big now.

You were a grade school boy back then.

Let's go.

I bought peanuts.

You matured early.

No, I didn't.

He's acting stupid.

I really don't remember.

You're lying.

While eating, too,

you stuck to Lily all the time.

You were so cute.

How embarrassing!

You bathed with him. She washed your penis.

No, that's a lie.

We went to a bathhouse together.

Don't you remember that?

What a moron!

Get this: It's not that I'm a stupid.

You loved too many women.

So many of them?

Sure.

No way. Who are you talking about?

The one you went to kamakura with.

She was from tango.

Kagan?

She was special. I felt sorry for her.

A department store girl from oita.

Keiko? Her name meant "firefly."

She married a handsome guy.

Then a priest's daughter.

Her brother was a headache to her.

Can't count them.

She married years ago.

A female doctor.

That was years ago.

I know!

An unpopular singer from hokkaido.

She didn't match you at all.

That's Lily. What an oaf!

Oh, yes.

Am I included?

Sorry.

Lily's the best, isn't she?

Don't give me that stuff.

You met her in...?

In abashiri, hokkaido. Remember?

Sure.

You were selling records on a bridge.

Yeah. Then you came by and asked,

"how's business?"

The second time...?

You forgot?

Hakodate in hokkaido, too.

I was eating noodles at a stall near the harbor.

A ferry's whistle sounded in the distance.

Then you suddenly showed up.

I remember.

I heard your voice. I looked and saw...

My face?

Yes.

I saw your smiling face. I was so happy.

We met one more time somewhere.

In okinawa.

You came to visit at the hospital.

Yeah.

It sure was hot then.

Seems uncle and Lily have met in many places.

This woman and me...

We're linked by a strange red yarn of fate.

Let's drink.

Okay.

It's ready.

Your favorite boiled peanuts.

Thanks. You drink, too.

If you want to do something,

ask him. He'll help you.

I want to work. Any jobs here?

I need an airplane ticket.

You broke? What a hopeless kid!

You came here because you were broke, too.

How true!

The master is singing.

That song is about...

Love. What else?

A man tells a woman:

"I know you're married.

"Will you leave him and marry me?"

He kept proposing to her.

What did she say?

"You're married, too.

"Leave your wife. Then I'll marry you."

That's her answer.

You're sleepy, aren't you?

Go to bed for tonight.

Help him.

Your pajamas are ready.

Good night.

Who do I sleep with?

Tora, of course.

I live next-door.

Ma-chan.

Don't "ma—chan" me.

I'm sorry. Masao.

Yes?

I have a question.

My uncle... tora and Lily...

Are they practically married by now?

Nonsense!

How can that lovely Lily...

And your weird uncle be married?

I understand. I'm glad to hear that.

Good night.

Moron!

Good morning.

Get in.

"Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you.

"You scolded me so hard for what I did.

"I regret it.

"You said you'd send me the air fare.

"But that'd only spoil me."

"I'll get a job.

"I'll work and save money.

"Then I'll come home.

"About my work in Tokyo, the boss gave me time off."

"Thinking about izumi, pains my heart.

"What a thing I've done!

"How can I make up for it?

"I think about it all the time.

"Uncle and Lily send you their best wishes.

"When I come home,

"I'll try to bring uncle with me.

"But I'm not sure of it.

"My best to father and all the kurumaya people.

"From mitsuo."

Welcome.

Is mitsuo's mother in?

She's out. She'll be back in the evening.

Not at her house, either?

Afraid not. May I help you?

Never mind. Thank you.

She's lovely. Haven't we met her before?

Is she your type?

You're way off.

She's not my type, but she's lovely.

I know! She's mitsuo's girlfriend!

Very well, I'll go and tell hiroshi.

Izumi!

Do you want to talk to mitsuo?

His office said that he's on vacation now.

He hasn't been home...

Since that day, your wedding day.

Where is he now?

What about your marriage?

Did he ruin it?

I must see him. Where is he?

Let's talk.

You can eat those bananas. They're ripe.

Have one.

Good!

So how did it turn out?

What about?

Last night's story.

You followed izumi to tsuyama?

Where was I?

You tried to stop izumi's wedding.

You got beaten up.

You told me that far, then stopped.

Nothing special after that.

The police told me off.

I returned the rented car. I drank at a bar.

How did you get here?

At okayama, I got on an express train...

Sleeping car...

I didn't know where it was going.

I fell sound asleep.

I woke up to find it was going to kagoshima.

You acted exactly like tora.

At kagoshima I saw a ferry bound for amami oshima.

The island's name looked nice to me.

So you got aboard?

There was a bunch of high school students.

Watching them laughing and yelling made me...

Remember how I once went on an excursion like that.

I'd been a schoolboy, too.

Thinking like that,

I pitied myself for what I am.

1 yelled:

"Shut up! Be quiet!"

I yelled loudly.

Don't eat bananas...

While crying. Look, your nose is running!

And the ferry got to naze?

A man gave me a ride in his car. Then I got...

To a town with a port.

Koniya?

Then you met me on the ferry.

Yes. I thought I'd never seen such a pretty woman.

You never forget compliments.

That's the end of my story.

What he did was so childish.

Awful thing, he did!

Is what he did so bad?

Sure is.

Izumi, the girl he's nuts about...

She's having it rough. He doesn't know.

Rough? Why?

Don't you know? It's only a small town.

He ruined her wedding.

It's all over town.

She can't even go shopping.

"She's the one."

"A crazy kid ruined her wedding day."

"How awful!"

Her mother—in—law razzes her.

Her husband flirts.

Her mom's married again. She has no place to go.

Poor girl!

I know. I'm repenting.

It's too late. You should've given up.

Guys have plenty to put up with.

"Congratulations! I wish you happiness."

Send her such a telegram.

Then pray, while facing in her direction.

"May today be another good day.

"May her wedding go smoothly."

That's what a man does.

What nonsense!

What? You don't approve?

Think that's a good way?

It's just a farce for a woman.

What are you trying to say?

It's not good for a woman.

We want to know how a guy feels.

A man and a woman don't always get along.

They do lots of things to be ashamed of.

But love is like that.

Mitsuo didn't do anything wrong.

Just hold on.

I'm saying a man should know when to walk out.

Is that wrong?

Sure is.

It's absolutely foolish.

You think he's smart?

In short, he's a coward. A weakling.

He thinks only of appearances.

He's an egoist.

He's just incapable, a hopeless jerk!

What a bore.

We'll drink at masao's. Come.

Come on!

Is this okay?

Lots of things make her mad.

Is your existence among them?

Shut up! Go drink with her.

What nonsense! "My existence?" Idiot!

I'll go with you.

"Look at those Japanese fern palms.

"Their fruit is red, showing that it's ripe.

"Then, kana is at the marrying age.

"Yes, she is at the marrying age,

"that girl from this amami oshima island."

"Warmth of my fingers connected to yours...

"Conveys to you how I feel toward you.

"My love is so deep, so very deep...

"That no words can come from my lips."

What's wrong?

That girl over there irks me.

I hope she doesn't kill herself.

No. She's too pretty.

Who knows?

Beauties are too proud.

Your wife'll live.

Stupid!

"But if you are also really...

"Filled with grief in your heart...

[Zumi

"either your voice or mine...

"It will create everything."

There he is!

There he is.

What's he doing?

Playing with crabs, thinking about izumi.

Go and surprise him.

And say whatever you want to say. Go.

Watch. It's fun.

He's surprised.

How will izumi act?

Hang on!

Why did you do that? Why?

How dumb!

Hang on!

Say something. Speak.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Because_.

Because what?

Isay...

Yes?

I mean...

Tell me. Tell me why!

Because I love you!

Say that again!

Because I love...

You all right?

Can't he do any better?

What a jerk!

Doesn't matter.

They're young. They're different from us.

I'll go to them.

What's up?

Tora's coming home.

With a woman.

It's something!

This bedding go upstairs?

Yes,

upstairs. They're the guest's, this side.

Move tora's to another room.

Two different rooms? You sure?

Why?

They lived together on that island.

That means, they are...

Who knows if they shared the same bedroom?

That's true.

We'll give them separate rooms.

They aren't legally married.

You're right. We must be strict about this.

Goodness! You're always too strict.

Tora's coming home.

Haven't they come yet?

They'll come soon.

Hello.

With mitsuo?

He stopped off in nagoya to send izumi home.

Then, tora and Lily alone? They're together!

Is she that lovely?

Embarrassing!

They're the talk of the town. Some say tora's bringing his bride.

He's coming. Arm in arm with a lovely lady.

Really?

Hey, get back to work!

Don't you want your wages?

It's true.

Welcome back!

Been a long time.

Hi, Lily!

I remember you.

So nice to see you again.

You were so kind to mitsuo.

We're very grateful.

He's grown so big.

But he's still a child.

Really.

Right.

I heard tora caused you trouble, too.

I'm sorry.

A trouble maker. At your age!

What do you mean?

Lily brought you home after all.

Like a kid.

No. I had to come to Tokyo anyway.

I came to see my mother. So I dropped in.

Hear that?

I wondered if you old fogies were okay.

If dead, I thought I'd hold a funeral.

You should say,

"thanks for being so kind", weeping.

The way you talk!

Cut it out.

They're stupid.

Fighting already?

Go inside, anyway.

Take a bath and rest.

Put on a kimono.

How nice.

Tora sure is somebody.

What's that?

Nothing.

Thanks for coming for them.

Will you please leave for today?

Back to work.

I was so glad to see him again. So...

I hugged him. Remember what you said?

I hadn't eaten since morning.

You reminded me of that.

I said, "Lily, give me some food."

And we met after ten years!

That was July.

You sponged on her since then?

I thought I'd leave sooner.

Lily's single.

People might gossip about us.

But, you said something.

"Not tonight. The sea's wild.

"What if something happens to you?"

The following morning, a villager says,

"we'll hold a welcome party."

A merry banquet.

We drink such strong sake.

I pass out in no time.

Day breaks. Next day.

I must hold a return banquet.

In the meantime, days pass.

Did you pay for your room and board?

Island life doesn't need money.

Fishermen give us their catch for breakfast.

For lunch, you pick up food.

It's delicious.

Pick up what?

There are mangos and bananas in the garden.

Tiny bananas, but they're real tasty.

For supper, neighbors bring...

Fish and abalone they catch.

I made sashimi from the fish.

Adding soy sauce and wasabi,

we eat the sashimi and drink with Lily.

Low sounds of waves in Harmony with...

Singing of the islanders on the beach.

It's real nice.

What song?

The island song. I like the words.

What do they say?

There's a lovely girl named kana.

Is she lovely?

A good personality, terrible face.

Who do you mean?

That noodle shop girl.

No. On oshima island.

Izu oshima island?

No. Amami oshima island.

We told you.

Stay out of this.

Hey! Where were we?

A lovely girl named kana.

Oh, yeah.

She's so lovely other girls are jealous.

I can imagine.

I had a classmate who was lovely.

Forget it. Listen to tora.

And then?

One day, the island girls...

Asked kana to help them pick kelp.

The innocent girl follows them.

They take her to the top of a high cliff.

Know what they did?

They shoved her off into the deep sea.

How cruel!

Just a legend.

"Poor kana!

"How unfortunate you were!

"Being lovely wasn't your fault.

"Yet you had to die. What a fate!"

That's what the song says.

I see. "Kana at her marrying age..."

Means this poor girl.

What song?

Like this.

"Kana is at the marrying age...

"That girl from this oshima island."

Good!

Sounds like a nice place.

Come visit me.

I want to.

There's something I want you to see.

Whales.

What? Whales?

Yes. In August,

whales pass in the blue ocean...

After a long journey.

Parent whales and kid whales, blowing.

Kids blow low, parents very high.

Magnificent!

While watching them,

I remember the past.

Like what?

Nothing good, like...

Loan sharks.

Cabaret guys bullied me.

A couple of divorces,

what a fool I've been!

You should know.

I'm no different.

I can't work on rainy days. I'm broke.

I lie on a mattress, watching the ceiling.

Then I recall lots of things.

What things?

I couldn't pay for inns and ran away.

I got nabbed by the police.

A couple of divorces.

When did you ever marry?

I didn't?

Really!

He made me laugh like this.

I realize it's very late now.

You must be tired. Why not go to bed?

Why, yes.

Go ahead. You're so thin you get tired easily.

Unlike aunty.

Go to bed.

I will. Good night, everyone.

Your bed's ready.

Where do you sleep, tora?

Where do I...?

You over there.

Me over there.

Me alone?

We could sleep together.

I suppose.

Good night.

She's thoughtless.

She shouldn't have joked like that.

Shejoked. Don't take it wrong, okay?

Why don't we talk more seriously?

Why look so stern?

Tell us straight. You and Lily...

What about me and Lily?

I'm back.

Mitsuo? Did you send izumi home all right?

I'm sorry to have worried you.

Come here.

How was the trip?

Hungry? I'll cook you something.

You look all right.

I'll make you tea.

Sake's better.

No. Don't spoil him.

You were the same at his age.

Seiyoen old people is home

Where do you live?

Didn't I tell you, mom?

On the beach of amami oshima island.

You've gone that far, leaving me behind.

How can you say that? You left me behind.

You played around. Seldom came home.

You haven't done anything for me.

You come here only once a year...

Yet pick on me. What a daughter!

Come to the island. We'll live together.

Fresh air, tasty fish. You'll live long.

No thanks.

I hate hot climate.

It's me.

I get this Saturday off.

Shall I come to Tokyo?

Let's see. What about this? We'll meet...

Between Tokyo and nagoya.

For example, at shizuoka.

Sounds like fun.

Then shizuoka. I've never been there.

Where and when?

I'll check and phone you this evening.

I'll go to tokiwado. They're pushing us.

I'll do them later.

Him!

I'm back.

You're late.

I met uncle. He made me drink with him.

Was Lily there?

No. She'd gone to her friend's.

Maybe that's why uncle was in a foul mood.

Mitsuo...

What?

What's the real story with tora and Lily?

You know, don't you?

It's a hard question.

No comment. Because I owe him a lot.

Good night.

Sorry.

Brother...?

Upstairs.

I'm sorry.

I made you come like this.

That's all right.

What happened between you?

We fought.

Why?

Nothing much.

I stayed over at a friend's.

Tora thought it was a man.

A woman, of course.

But he talked like I had an affair.

I said, "it's none of your business."

I think I was right. We aren't married.

You were right.

He was wrong.

Will you give him my regards?

I'm leaving now.

Stay a little longer.

Give her some sweets.

Brother, Lily's leaving.

I know.

Why sit here? Aren't you going with her?

Why must I go with her?

Don't you know?

She really wants you to go with her.

Don't get us wrong.

We're just friends, see?

Is that so? Am I wrong?

Actually...

I wanted you two to get together.

If there's any woman who'd pair off...

With a selfish guy like you,

she'd know very well how to take care of you.

That's Lily. She's the only one, right?

It's none of your business.

Worry about mitsuo.

All right, I won't mention it anymore.

When mitsuo told me you and Lily lived together,

I was really happy. You'll never know.

What's wrong?

He was impossible, so I told him off.

I'm sorry I made you two fight.

Don't be.

Do I still have to wait?

A taxi?

She's coming.

Well, Lily...

For you.

Thank you for everything.

Take care.

Lily.

Let's go.

See me off? How unusual!

Can't you even thank me? How stuck up!

Thanks a lot!

Go now.

You going or not?

Thank your uncle and aunt for me.

Will you go upstairs get his case?

I'm sorry to have kept you.

Goodbye, tora. Take care.

Are you coming too?

I can't let a fragile woman go on a trip alone.

Really? How thoughtful!

Let's go.

Where to?

Kanamachi station.

Only to there? Okay, let's go.

Car 528. From shibamata to kanamachi.

Tora, how far will you go with me?

A man must see a woman to the door of her place.

Will you really come to my place?

Go to my place instead of kanamachi.

Meaning where?

Kakeroma island.

Kakeroma? Where is it? Is it in Tokyo?

No. Amami oshima.

Way down south.

Get out.

I'm working. I have no time for jokes.

I'm sorry.

Go to haneda airport then, okay?

We'll tip you.

All right.

Wait a minute!

Goodbye. Good luck.

Thank you.

Suwa, here.

Izumi? Happy new year!

Happy new year.

We'll ask for...

Your kindness this year. Where are you?

A tsuta shrine.

It's crowded.

I can hear voices. Is mitsuo there?

I'll put mm on.

No. I have nothing to say.

Hear that?

Yes, I did.

Then, excuse me.

My best to your mother.

I'll visit her before long.

Fine. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

They're at atsuta shrine.

What's Lily's real name?

She never told me.

She only wrote Lily in this letter, too.

Maybe Lily's enough.

She's famous there.

All right.

Ms. Lily...

I've written...

All our new year cards. Anything else?

Shall we see a movie?

Goodidea.

What's the latest release?

"Happy new year.

"How are you people doing?

"About tora... we fought again.

"Last week, when we were drinking.

"After that, he walked out.

"I felt relieved when that troublemaker left.

"But I'm lonely too, writing this letter.

"He might suddenly return someday.

"But I'm not sure...

"I'll be on this island until he does."

How's your new year's vacation?

Boring. I'm all alone.

What happened to your Beau from Tokyo?

He walked out.

No kidding.

You jilted him, eh?

Ferry de/go. Over.

This is ferry deigo. Over.

A guests wa/ting at the port.

Roger. Coming right away.

"Maybe I'll meet tora...

"Again at a port town in hokkaido.

"Give him my best when you see him.

"Lily, on the amami beach."

Nagata ward, Kobe

Tora!

Mrs. Bakery!

It's you. I was right. Come!

It's nice to see you again.

Happy new year!

Nice shop.

Thank you.

I'm glad.

We've come this far.

Boss!

Boss! Look.

Look who's there.

It's you!

Thanks for coming. I'm glad you remember us.

You okay?

Been a long time.

You guys had a rough time.

I appreciate your efforts.

Will you meet others too?

The end
