00:00:06,069 --> 00:00:09,769
You're back.

7
00:00:11,407 --> 00:00:17,080
My father, Minoru, has gone to work in Tokyo.
Because I didn't come home for New Year's Day➡

8
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:22,418

I was able to confirm.
There it was, Mineko Yatabe.

with factory and dormitory
I headed to Mukaijima, Sumida Ward.

35
00:02:51,768 --> 00:02:56,639
From today Mineko and others
Work and live in Mukojima, Sumida Ward➡

36
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,412
Eastern part of Tokyo
This is a downtown area overlooking the Sumida River, a famous spot for cherry blossoms.

37
00:03:02,412 --> 00:03:08,050
There's a sumo wrestler.
There's a Kokugikan nearby.

38
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:10,386
Tokyo Skytree is famous now➡

39
00:03:10,386 --> 00:03:14,257
At that time, tall chimneys lined the streets
In a factory town➡

40
00:03:14,257 --> 00:03:19,729
The number of group workers was the highest in Tokyo.
It is called a district.

41
00:03:19,729 --> 00:03:21,764
Goodbye.

42
00:03:21,764 --> 00:03:27,264
We met on the job train
Sumiko-chan is also there.

43
00:03:29,071 --> 00:03:32,742
The number of friends is increasing.

44
00:03:32,742 --> 00:03:36,412
Actually, at Ueno Station...

45
00:03:36,412 --> 00:03:39,916
I'm sorry.
Another person will arrive on a different train➡

46
00:03:39,916 --> 00:03:42,418
I just forgot...hahaha...｡

47
00:03:42,418 --> 00:03:45,755
Ahaha…｡
(Aiko) Um...｡➡

48
00:03:45,755 --> 00:03:49,625
Oh? Erm...

49
00:03:49,625 --> 00:03:53,629
Toyoko Kanehira of Aomori City Daini Junior High School
It's me.

50
00:03:53,629 --> 00:03:57,329
Huh? Ah! Huh?

51
00:03:59,101 --> 00:04:02,872
Yes, that's right!
Sorry, did you wait?

52
00:04:02,872 --> 00:04:04,907
Yes, I waited quite a while.

53
00:04:04,907 --> 00:04:08,044
Right, I'm sorry.

54
00:04:08,044 --> 00:04:11,080
Huh? Alone? Mr. Kudo...

55
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,717
I went looking for it.
Who?

56
00:04:14,717 --> 00:04:18,054
Aiko Nagai of Mukojima Electric.

57
00:04:18,054 --> 00:04:21,924
Oh me? Oh, what should we do!

58
00:04:21,924 --> 00:04:24,727
Wait a minute!
I'm sorry.

59
00:04:24,727 --> 00:04:29,065
♬～

60
00:04:29,065 --> 00:04:33,765
Um... nice to meet you.

61
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:41,611
Ah... I'm Mineko Yatabe.

62
00:04:41,611 --> 00:04:46,415
And this is Tokiko Sukegawa.
Two people are from Ibaraki.

63
00:04:46,415 --> 00:04:52,415
And this child
Sumiko Aotenme from Fukushima.

64
00:04:54,090 --> 00:04:57,426
Are you two in high school?

65
00:04:57,426 --> 00:04:59,462
Yeah.
(Tokiko) That's right.

66
00:04:59,462 --> 00:05:02,198
Third year junior high school grades
Was it a pair of shoes?

67
00:05:02,198 --> 00:05:04,700
yeah?

68
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:10,039
Because there were too many 4s
I guess I'm above average.

69
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:15,711
I am in those physical education and practical subjects.
I'm good at it➡

70
00:05:15,711 --> 00:05:20,583
Other than that, it's a line of ducks
It was only 2. Hehe!

71
00:05:20,583 --> 00:05:23,886
I got a 5 in everything except physical education.
Huh!?

72
00:05:23,886 --> 00:05:28,086
But I didn't go to high school
I'm here.

73
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,598
Ah... I'm sorry about something.

74
00:05:35,598 --> 00:05:37,733
<Dad…｡➡

75
00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:41,404
This kid is kind of scary>

76
00:05:41,404 --> 00:05:46,275
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Now, Mr. Toyoko, I'll take care of you.

77
00:05:46,275 --> 00:05:52,048
So that's it
I have added one more friend.

78
00:05:52,048 --> 00:05:56,419
(Aiko) I just arrived.
Thank you for your hard work.➡

79
00:05:56,419 --> 00:06:00,690
That is the factory where you work.

80
00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:03,025
And next to it➡

81
00:06:03,025 --> 00:06:07,697
From today you will live
There is a maiden dormitory.

82
00:06:07,697 --> 00:06:12,034
I live with you too. Hehe!

83
00:06:12,034 --> 00:06:17,707

84
00:06:17,707 --> 00:06:22,211
<Dad, something is being seen>

85
00:06:22,211 --> 00:06:25,047
Aiko-san is also a maiden.
Hehe...

86
00:06:25,047 --> 00:06:27,717
Is that so? Well then, are you okay?

87
00:06:27,717 --> 00:06:29,717
Yes! Ehehe!

88
00:06:31,387 --> 00:06:34,687
(Aiko) Let's go now.

89
00:06:36,258 --> 00:06:42,398
Tokiko... she looks like she doesn't know.
Please join me a little more.

90
00:06:42,398 --> 00:06:44,333
(Tokiko) Ah, sorry.

91
00:06:44,333 --> 00:06:48,204
I see, my original purpose is there.
I'm not very interested in this.

92
00:06:48,204 --> 00:06:51,073
Already... I get it.

93
00:06:51,073 --> 00:06:53,976
Be a little more interested
As I beg you.

94
00:06:53,976 --> 00:06:57,676
I understand, sorry.

95
00:06:59,882 --> 00:07:02,351
(Toyoko) Something like that.

96
00:07:02,351 --> 00:07:04,286
Huh?
(Tokiko) What happened?

97
00:07:04,286 --> 00:07:08,691
(Toyoko) What is Tokyo that I was thinking about?
That's not how I feel.➡

98
00:07:08,691 --> 00:07:12,561
From what I heard about the workplace and the dormitory.
It's small and old➡

99
00:07:12,561 --> 00:07:15,865
The dormitory is right next to Kottani.
Don't you hate it?

100
00:07:15,865 --> 00:07:19,368
Look how it's under control 24/7.

101
00:07:19,368 --> 00:07:23,039
What do you think? This is it.
As a working environment.

102
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:27,710
Huh? Working environment?

103
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:29,745
In such a bad environment
Isn't it?

104
00:07:29,745 --> 00:07:34,050
Yeah, that's right.
It's convenient because I don't have to be late.

105
00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:39,388
Yeah.
Sigh... That's right.

106
00:07:39,388 --> 00:07:41,724
<Dad…｡➡

107
00:07:41,724 --> 00:07:45,594

00:08:41,050 --> 00:08:46,922
I come from Okuibaraki Village in Ibaraki Prefecture.
This is Mineko Yatabe.

119
00:08:46,922 --> 00:08:50,059
Um... I'm clumsy➡

120
00:08:50,059 --> 00:08:54,563
Are you sure you can do it properly?
I'm worried, but I'll do my best!

121
00:08:54,563 --> 00:08:59,401
Like Mineko, I came from Oku-Ibaraki.
This is Tokiko Sukegawa.

122
00:08:59,401 --> 00:09:02,671
My dream for the future is to be an actress.
(loud)

00:09:02,671 --> 00:09:05,174
But I will do my best at work.

124
00:09:05,174 --> 00:09:11,947
I came from Iwaki, Fukushima.
This is Sumiko Aotenme.

125
00:09:11,947 --> 00:09:18,687
Um... just blurting it out
Don't sleep all the time➡

No. 1 me!
(Laughter)

133
00:09:40,676 --> 00:09:46,582
Today is the welcome party.
The most popular menu item at Otome Dormitory is curry rice.

134
00:09:46,582 --> 00:09:49,385
Kazuo-san, please!

00:09:49,385 --> 00:09:54,056
Yes, that's good. Today's is special.

136
00:09:54,056 --> 00:09:55,991

138
00:10:02,565 --> 00:10:06,735
Dormitory Director: Nice to meet you. Please let me know.
Yes.

139
00:10:06,735 --> 00:10:11,073

I'm afraid it's sold out.

155
00:11:03,058 --> 00:11:05,394
Yes.
(Kazuo) Yes.➡

156
00:11:05,394 --> 00:11:08,063

00:11:27,082 --> 00:11:29,018
Hmm.

162
00:11:29,018 --> 00:11:33,422
Such delicious food
Can you eat it every day?

163
00:11:33,422 --> 00:11:37,293
Hehehe...curry rice every Monday.

164
00:11:37,293 --> 00:11:39,593
(Sumiko) Wow!
(Tokiko) Hmm.

165
00:11:43,098 --> 00:11:45,768
What is that?
This mayonnaise.

166
00:11:45,768 --> 00:11:50,468
This is how you eat it with vegetables.
Huh…｡

167
00:11:52,641 --> 00:11:58,347
Mayonnaise in this container was released
1955.

168
00:11:58,347 --> 00:12:04,553
Since then, in ordinary households in Tokyo,
It has become commonly used.

169
00:12:04,553 --> 00:12:09,058
But Mineko and the others
For people coming from rural areas ➡

170
00:12:09,058 --> 00:12:13,058
Apparently it was still rare.

171
00:12:14,730 --> 00:12:17,633
Wow...

172
00:12:17,633 --> 00:12:19,601
What is this...

173
00:12:19,601 --> 00:12:22,905
Ugh! Ugh!

174
00:12:22,905 --> 00:12:24,940
Hmm...

175
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:27,240
(Sachiko) Ahahaha!

176
00:12:29,578 --> 00:12:32,081
Ah…｡

177
00:12:32,081 --> 00:12:35,951
I'm sure you'll like it.
Is it true?

178
00:12:35,951 --> 00:12:40,422
I was reluctant to get used to it at first, too.
Me too.

179
00:12:40,422 --> 00:12:42,422
(Tokiko) Hey.

180
00:12:49,098 --> 00:12:51,098
Ume...｡

00:13:00,576 --> 00:13:03,576

That's what I thought.➡

188

00:13:43,285 --> 00:13:47,423
Also for Chiyoko and Susumu

Yeah...｡

196
00:14:06,041 --> 00:14:08,041
It's delicious.

197
00:14:11,914 --> 00:14:15,384
It's delicious... Huh?

198
