1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,468
60th Agency of Cultural Affairs Art Festival participating piece
2
00:00:13,382 --> 00:00:17,139
Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei
3
00:00:17,139 --> 00:00:23,650
An individual who has lived through all
four periods has now fallen into eternal sleep
4
00:00:23,650 --> 00:00:28,718
Here, please use these to collect
the bones
5
00:00:30,644 --> 00:00:32,223
Sis, you first
6
00:00:32,608 --> 00:00:35,587
These things are meant to be done
eldest first
7
00:00:50,742 --> 00:00:53,841
What?
Me?
8
00:00:53,841 --> 00:00:59,810
I'm the first daughter of great-grandmother's
9
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:03,339
You're the youngest great-granddaughter
10
00:01:03,339 --> 00:01:06,115
So let's see her off together
11
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,457
ok
12
00:01:26,949 --> 00:01:28,392
What were you saying?
13
00:01:28,392 --> 00:01:29,118
Huh?
14
00:01:29,118 --> 00:01:32,614
You were saying something when
picking up the bones
15
00:01:33,931 --> 00:01:36,658
Tell me, I'm curious
16
00:01:36,658 --> 00:01:38,757
I was saying goodbye
17
00:01:38,757 --> 00:01:42,860
Mother, thank you for all these years
18
00:01:43,703 --> 00:01:48,867
The war is finally over, isn't it?
19
00:01:48,867 --> 00:01:52,454
War? The one long ago? The one with the atom bomb?
20
00:01:52,454 --> 00:01:57,293
Of course. The war that was going on when I was your age
21
00:01:57,293 --> 00:02:01,048
But the war ended 60 years ago
22
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:04,560
I wonder if that's so
23
00:02:05,311 --> 00:02:07,278
What do you mean?
24
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:12,127
Can you bring me that box over there?
25
00:02:12,127 --> 00:02:13,643
Sure
26
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,751
I bet a high-schooler like you has no desires
27
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:26,895
Is this you?
28
00:02:27,929 --> 00:02:29,355
Oh my
29
00:02:32,794 --> 00:02:37,092
This is great-grandmother
30
00:02:37,092 --> 00:02:39,823
So this girl in uniform must be...
31
00:02:39,823 --> 00:02:42,511
Yes, is it strange?
32
00:02:42,511 --> 00:02:47,107
No way! You in a school uniform!
33
00:02:47,107 --> 00:02:48,868
Of course
34
00:02:49,222 --> 00:02:53,435
This is the last picture we took as a family
35
00:02:53,435 --> 00:02:58,708
Mother had kept it all these years
36
00:03:00,581 --> 00:03:03,271
There's something else in here too...
37
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,816
A newspaper from Showa 20 (1945)!
It's like a time capsule!
38
00:03:11,127 --> 00:03:13,727
What's this?
A can of droplets?
39
00:03:16,958 --> 00:03:19,005
What is it?
40
00:03:22,714 --> 00:03:25,099
Is that something to be so
surprised about?
41
00:03:25,337 --> 00:03:26,370
Yes
42
00:03:29,253 --> 00:03:31,495
What's inside?
43
00:03:31,942 --> 00:03:35,188
Something very valuable
44
00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:38,097
Something valuable?
45
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,286
That summer, Showa 20 (1945)
46
00:04:05,642 --> 00:04:09,556
We lost so many things
47
00:04:10,392 --> 00:04:16,533
War had burned away cities,
people,
48
00:04:16,533 --> 00:04:20,427
and even our hearts
49
00:04:21,844 --> 00:04:30,443
This is our family's sad and bitter war experience
50
00:04:30,443 --> 00:04:33,491
September Showa 20 (1945), Kobe
51
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:44,518
How strange... I heard he'd be here
52
00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:50,616
How disgusting... Can't you go somewhere else?
53
00:04:53,428 --> 00:04:58,918
The Americans are coming soon; what an
embarassment to have these types in our stations
54
00:04:58,918 --> 00:05:00,711
Go somewhere else
55
00:05:00,711 --> 00:05:05,863
Excuse me? Do you know someone
named Yokokawa Seita?
56
00:05:05,863 --> 00:05:06,241
What?
57
00:05:06,241 --> 00:05:10,954
He's a relative. We heard someone saw him
around here...
58
00:05:10,954 --> 00:05:16,509
How would I know. Every day,
several tramps die here
59
00:05:16,509 --> 00:05:21,790
He's a third year in middle school;
wears a Kobe 1st Middle School hat
60
00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:24,822
Has a sister this tall
61
00:05:24,822 --> 00:05:29,449
Could that be last night's boy?
62
00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:34,737
He was just over there...
63
00:05:57,719 --> 00:06:00,489
This one's dead too
64
00:06:05,674 --> 00:06:08,768
Wow, it's a Kobe 1st Middle School hat
65
00:06:10,014 --> 00:06:15,119
How did a "1st Middle School"er end up here?
66
00:06:15,119 --> 00:06:17,948
He must've stolen it
67
00:06:17,948 --> 00:06:21,040
Yeah? I guess so...
68
00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:31,526
What's this?
69
00:06:35,209 --> 00:06:38,456
Don't mind. Just throw it away
70
00:06:39,642 --> 00:06:41,677
yeah, you're right
71
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,887
Mustn't think too hard
72
00:07:31,453 --> 00:07:33,187
Did they die?
73
00:07:38,538 --> 00:07:43,470
Did Seita and Se-cchan die?
74
00:07:54,191 --> 00:07:56,359
That can't be
75
00:07:57,408 --> 00:08:00,519
They're alive somewhere, right?
76
00:08:04,644 --> 00:08:09,772
Say something, mother!
77
00:08:11,847 --> 00:08:14,837
It's your fault
78
00:08:17,002 --> 00:08:22,110
You killed them
79
00:09:18,878 --> 00:09:21,529
Thank you
80
00:09:23,385 --> 00:09:26,652
very much (Kansai dialect)
81
00:09:30,608 --> 00:09:33,003
Shhh, you mustn't cry
82
00:09:33,967 --> 00:09:37,114
Let me show you something cool
83
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:43,279
One, two, three!
84
00:09:44,143 --> 00:09:47,724
Wow! Fireflies!
85
00:09:47,724 --> 00:09:49,378
They're pretty, aren't they?
86
00:10:02,206 --> 00:10:06,025
Brother, thank you
87
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:09,442
Come here, Setsuko
88
00:10:23,527 --> 00:10:36,693
Hotaru no Haka
(Grave of Fireflies)
~60th Anniversary of the End of the War special drama~
89
00:10:37,649 --> 00:10:50,214
The word "firefly" is usually written
in one character. However, in this title,
the characters meaning "dripping fire" is used.
90
00:10:52,323 --> 00:10:55,973
Showa 18 (1943) Summer
91
00:10:58,036 --> 00:10:59,784
Setsuko
92
00:11:01,512 --> 00:11:03,875
Come here quick
93
00:11:09,005 --> 00:11:11,261
Look, Setsuko!
94
00:11:11,716 --> 00:11:17,806
That's father's ship. A unified fleet.
Isn't it gallant?
95
00:11:17,806 --> 00:11:21,982
Where is father going on a ship?
96
00:11:22,218 --> 00:11:24,670
To defeat the enemy
97
00:11:24,670 --> 00:11:26,687
Father is a Naval colonel
98
00:11:26,938 --> 00:11:30,125
America doesn't stand a chance
99
00:11:30,464 --> 00:11:32,954
"Doesn't stand a chance!"
100
00:11:33,289 --> 00:11:36,754
Seita-san! Se-cchan!
101
00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:41,851
Your father is departing. Come back now.
102
00:11:41,851 --> 00:11:43,000
Yes, mother
103
00:12:02,306 --> 00:12:04,743
Hyogo prefecture, Mikage
104
00:12:04,743 --> 00:12:06,668
Father, I'm home
105
00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:13,290
The Naval colonel calls us!
106
00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:14,951
Wait outside, Setsuko
107
00:12:14,951 --> 00:12:16,606
Why?
108
00:12:16,606 --> 00:12:20,228
Your brother and I have something
important to discuss
109
00:12:20,985 --> 00:12:23,545
Se-cchan, come here
110
00:12:24,690 --> 00:12:26,133
alright
111
00:12:32,991 --> 00:12:36,012
You're a good girl! Let's have some
congee with eggs
112
00:12:49,677 --> 00:12:51,741
Sit down, Seita
113
00:12:52,014 --> 00:12:53,108
Yes, sir
114
00:12:58,554 --> 00:13:01,665
Hyogo prefecture, Manchidani
115
00:13:14,374 --> 00:13:18,774
Smells so good! Open it up!
116
00:13:18,774 --> 00:13:20,337
Wow, sekihan (red rice)!
117
00:13:20,337 --> 00:13:23,239
We had it specially divided
for us
118
00:13:23,898 --> 00:13:25,506
Really?
119
00:13:25,506 --> 00:13:29,279
- Let's eat it quick!
- Yay! Sekihan!
120
00:13:29,712 --> 00:13:33,757
Such bad manners;
they can hear
121
00:13:33,757 --> 00:13:35,552
Since it's been so long...
122
00:13:35,552 --> 00:13:39,905
We've been having only wheat or soup
for so long
123
00:13:41,650 --> 00:13:43,240
Come
124
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:51,240
Do you have any idea
why we're having sekihan?
125
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,671
Of course
126
00:13:53,671 --> 00:13:56,798
Because father's going to into the army
127
00:13:56,798 --> 00:13:59,486
Do you know what it means
to go into the army?
128
00:13:59,486 --> 00:14:02,196
To fight the enemy. BAM!
129
00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:06,777
You two are happy?
Father may die!
130
00:14:06,777 --> 00:14:09,209
Congratulations!
131
00:14:12,612 --> 00:14:15,395
Thank you for coming all this way
132
00:14:15,395 --> 00:14:18,834
Such an accomplishment, to be going
into the army from a sokai
133
00:14:18,834 --> 00:14:22,320
A truly honorable thing
134
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,513
Thank you very much
135
00:14:25,119 --> 00:14:28,377
Please have sekihan with us
136
00:14:28,377 --> 00:14:31,862
Thank you! I'd be much obliged
137
00:14:32,922 --> 00:14:35,038
Get your father
138
00:14:35,038 --> 00:14:37,418
He knew we had sekihan
139
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:40,214
He goes around accepting food from
all the families with departing men
140
00:14:40,214 --> 00:14:43,012
shhh, just get your father
141
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:48,831
Sis
142
00:14:48,831 --> 00:14:51,111
Te-chan is coughing again
143
00:14:51,563 --> 00:14:54,352
Are you okay? Does it hurt?
144
00:14:57,749 --> 00:15:01,797
You don't have a fever, but
let's have some medicine anyway
145
00:15:01,797 --> 00:15:03,252
He doesn't need medicine
146
00:15:03,252 --> 00:15:03,859
What?
147
00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:07,083
- He's just exaggerating for attention
- Now now
148
00:15:07,425 --> 00:15:16,367
- Excuse us, we're here to celebrate
- We brought a 'senninbari'
149
00:15:16,367 --> 00:15:18,280
- I'll be right there
...congratulations...
150
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,061
- Father's missing
- What?
151
00:15:20,422 --> 00:15:24,465
Now that you mention it,
I haven't seen brother in a while
152
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:28,375
Where could he be at a time like this?
153
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:37,239
- I will be traveling out of the country today
- Yes, father
154
00:15:38,778 --> 00:15:42,981
Do you know the state Japan is in now?
155
00:15:42,981 --> 00:15:46,891
I read in the newspaper, there was
a great victory in the Solomon Islands
156
00:15:46,891 --> 00:15:48,303
Yes
157
00:15:48,690 --> 00:15:52,348
Sorry for my impertinence
158
00:15:52,348 --> 00:15:57,362
No, it's true that there was
victory in the Solomon Islands.
159
00:15:58,108 --> 00:16:03,995
However, at Guadalcanal and New Guinea,
we're almost wiped out
160
00:16:04,325 --> 00:16:08,650
We're losing in the Marshall Islands too
161
00:16:08,650 --> 00:16:13,319
This is not reported in the newspapers
or radios
162
00:16:13,319 --> 00:16:15,324
Then Japan!?
163
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:20,948
Seita
164
00:16:21,691 --> 00:16:24,188
Japan will win
165
00:16:25,053 --> 00:16:27,586
No...
166
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:30,634
Japan must win
167
00:16:30,634 --> 00:16:34,140
after having suffered so much casualties
168
00:16:34,140 --> 00:16:39,261
I am willing to die fighting
for the sake of this country
169
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:45,794
Do you understand what I am
trying to say?
170
00:16:45,794 --> 00:16:52,769
Once I am gone,
you are the man of the house
171
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:59,864
Your mother has a heart disease
172
00:17:00,942 --> 00:17:04,062
and Setsuko is still little
173
00:17:04,062 --> 00:17:07,885
Like I will be fighting
for the sake of the country
174
00:17:07,885 --> 00:17:13,878
you must defend your mother and Setsuko.
Don't ever yield.
175
00:17:13,878 --> 00:17:19,932
Yes. I will defend them with my life.
176
00:17:19,932 --> 00:17:25,595
Well said. That's how a Japanese boy should be
177
00:17:25,595 --> 00:17:26,837
Yes, father
178
00:17:31,823 --> 00:17:34,235
What are you doing?
179
00:17:34,742 --> 00:17:37,407
I'm fixing the leak
180
00:17:37,407 --> 00:17:40,927
You don't have to do this on
the day of your departure
181
00:17:40,927 --> 00:17:44,393
I won't be able to do it after I leave
182
00:17:58,904 --> 00:18:03,048
Please stop. I can't have you get hurt
183
00:18:03,438 --> 00:18:07,418
I'm a carpenter.
I won't fall
184
00:18:13,735 --> 00:18:15,646
Mother, it's dangerous
185
00:18:15,646 --> 00:18:19,050
You better not fall / I'm going up too!
186
00:18:19,050 --> 00:18:20,623
No!
187
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:26,301
Hisako...
188
00:18:26,301 --> 00:18:28,800
Please stop
189
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,290
What are you being so stubborn for?
190
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:36,167
You can fix it after you return
191
00:18:37,377 --> 00:18:40,427
I don't know if I will come back
192
00:18:40,866 --> 00:18:43,765
You WILL come back
193
00:18:45,252 --> 00:18:52,525
I wonder... They're drafting
discharged country folk like me in sokais,
the situation can't be good
194
00:18:52,525 --> 00:18:56,847
You WILL come back, you will definitely come back
195
00:18:56,847 --> 00:18:59,616
Hisako! / Mother!
196
00:19:02,027 --> 00:19:04,264
Be careful
197
00:19:08,933 --> 00:19:11,011
Please, don't die
198
00:19:12,792 --> 00:19:16,530
I don't need any merits or medals
199
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Just come back safely, I beg you
200
00:19:35,598 --> 00:19:40,202
Congratulations to Sawano Genzo's departure into the army!
BANZAI!
201
00:19:40,202 --> 00:19:42,310
BANZAI!
202
00:19:47,781 --> 00:19:54,768
Thank you very much. I, Sawano Genzo,
will go off to fight!
203
00:19:56,099 --> 00:20:00,679
- Get those American soldiers!
- Thank you (Kansai dialect)
204
00:20:11,349 --> 00:20:14,209
I pray for your success
205
00:20:16,298 --> 00:20:21,137
Dear! You mustn't cry at embarkation!
206
00:20:21,137 --> 00:20:24,709
He probably recalled his son
who died in battle
207
00:20:24,709 --> 00:20:31,835
That boy died for the sake
of the Emperor! Why are you crying?
208
00:20:31,835 --> 00:20:33,271
Sorry
209
00:20:33,894 --> 00:20:35,928
Here, drink up
210
00:20:40,631 --> 00:20:44,115
We're celebrating with a great sea bream!
211
00:20:44,115 --> 00:20:47,361
What a spectacular sea bream!
212
00:20:49,099 --> 00:20:51,784
It's a bit thin
213
00:21:10,843 --> 00:21:12,652
Hey
214
00:21:17,282 --> 00:21:20,730
You're a naval colonel's wife
215
00:21:30,493 --> 00:21:32,629
Have a good departure
216
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:34,725
Yes
217
00:21:41,023 --> 00:21:42,527
Thank you for your trouble
218
00:22:04,653 --> 00:22:06,425
Father...
219
00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:09,582
Setsuko
220
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,680
Father~~
221
00:22:21,001 --> 00:22:22,536
Setsuko
222
00:22:24,336 --> 00:22:26,949
My shoe broke
223
00:22:34,337 --> 00:22:36,496
Good luck / BANZAI
224
00:22:39,162 --> 00:22:41,231
- Teizo
- Yes, father
225
00:22:41,231 --> 00:22:44,614
You're the eldest male
226
00:22:44,614 --> 00:22:48,890
Don't have likes or dislikes with
food and grow up strong.
227
00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:50,222
Yes, father
228
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,873
Yoshie, you be well too
229
00:23:33,573 --> 00:23:38,258
Don't worry. I will protect
Sis and the children
230
00:23:38,258 --> 00:23:41,148
Don't push yourself with that body
231
00:23:41,455 --> 00:23:46,855
More importantly, don't fall for
Hisako while I'm gone
232
00:23:47,923 --> 00:23:51,452
Brother! Don't say such silly jokes
233
00:23:55,188 --> 00:23:57,554
Hisako
234
00:23:57,854 --> 00:24:01,759
Take care of everyone
235
00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:04,284
Yes
236
00:24:08,883 --> 00:24:14,643
Don't worry. I've always been good at running away
237
00:24:14,643 --> 00:24:17,620
I'll come back safe
238
00:24:32,579 --> 00:24:34,753
Father
239
00:24:35,303 --> 00:24:39,297
Father
240
00:24:39,297 --> 00:24:41,493
Dear
241
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,325
Be careful, Setsuko
242
00:25:14,619 --> 00:25:17,218
That looks good on you
243
00:25:17,218 --> 00:25:18,193
Thanks
244
00:25:26,078 --> 00:25:29,825
Mother, don't push yourself
245
00:25:29,825 --> 00:25:31,484
Seita-san
246
00:25:31,484 --> 00:25:34,925
From now on, I'm the man of the house
247
00:25:34,925 --> 00:25:37,773
You will listen to what I say
248
00:25:37,773 --> 00:25:42,367
- My, how dependable
- My, how dependable
249
00:25:48,727 --> 00:25:51,845
A train departed today too?
250
00:25:51,845 --> 00:25:56,570
The army needs soldiers in the South too
251
00:26:02,921 --> 00:26:06,115
Hisako-chan? / Kyoko-san?
252
00:26:10,627 --> 00:26:16,478
The first time we met Seita-kun and Se-cchan
253
00:26:16,478 --> 00:26:21,271
was the day father departed
254
00:26:22,236 --> 00:26:28,732
My mother and Seita-kun's mother
were cousins
255
00:26:28,732 --> 00:26:33,551
but they weren't that close
until then
256
00:26:33,551 --> 00:26:39,392
But by having given their husbands
to war on the same day
257
00:26:39,392 --> 00:26:43,464
an invisible bond formed
between them
258
00:26:43,464 --> 00:26:50,087
It had been just about
six months since
we had lost our home due to
259
00:26:50,087 --> 00:26:58,521
firebombings by the Americans
and escaped to the sokai
in Manchidani
260
00:26:58,521 --> 00:27:04,793
It required courage to leave Tokyo,
but my in-law's house had been destroyed
261
00:27:04,793 --> 00:27:09,090
and running away from bombings
was difficult with Teizo's asthma
262
00:27:09,090 --> 00:27:12,412
Is that so...
What trouble you've been through
263
00:27:12,957 --> 00:27:17,439
Both your children seem healthy
264
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:23,295
You're in Kobe 1st Middle School so
you're going for Kobe 1st High School, right?
265
00:27:23,295 --> 00:27:26,573
I am thinking of going into Naval Academy
266
00:27:26,573 --> 00:27:29,179
I hate soldiers
267
00:27:30,352 --> 00:27:33,950
They're always so arrogant
268
00:27:34,182 --> 00:27:37,260
But it's the military that protects this country
269
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:40,797
Brother, don't argue
270
00:27:49,394 --> 00:27:52,931
You're such a good girl, Se-cchan.
Let me give you a treat
271
00:27:52,931 --> 00:27:54,362
A treat?
272
00:28:02,154 --> 00:28:04,474
Droplets!
273
00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:06,874
Are you sure it's okay
at a time when there's so little?
274
00:28:06,874 --> 00:28:11,914
My husband's brother
got some at work at Kobe
275
00:28:11,914 --> 00:28:15,258
My children already got some
276
00:28:15,536 --> 00:28:17,010
May I open it?
277
00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:20,238
Before that you have to thank her
278
00:28:20,238 --> 00:28:23,272
Thank you very much (Kansai dialect)
279
00:28:23,797 --> 00:28:28,309
You're such a good girl
280
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,804
- huh?
- Give it to me
281
00:28:39,953 --> 00:28:43,175
Wow. So pretty!
282
00:28:44,629 --> 00:28:47,762
This is strawberry / This is grape
283
00:28:47,762 --> 00:28:50,363
What's this? / Melon?
284
00:28:59,479 --> 00:29:03,397
I'm so glad I ran into you today
285
00:29:04,686 --> 00:29:10,837
After I saw my husband leave,
I lost my strength
286
00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:21,901
Me too. Just when I started to
get used to here, my husband was drafted...
I felt like crying, I was so lonely
287
00:29:23,278 --> 00:29:25,456
Come quick! Fireflies!
288
00:29:27,598 --> 00:29:29,441
Wow!
289
00:29:29,441 --> 00:29:33,582
Where? / That, flashing over there
290
00:29:33,952 --> 00:29:35,499
Wow, so pretty
291
00:29:35,499 --> 00:29:38,176
It really is
292
00:29:39,386 --> 00:29:43,053
You can't see fireflies in Tokyo
293
00:29:43,053 --> 00:29:47,884
There are a lot of fireflies around here
because of the clear water
294
00:29:50,964 --> 00:29:54,763
There too / Over there too!
295
00:29:57,097 --> 00:29:58,889
Hisako-chan
296
00:29:59,767 --> 00:30:04,099
If you ever need anything, just ask
297
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:06,642
Kyoko-san
298
00:30:07,382 --> 00:30:11,358
We don't know when Kansai will be bombed
299
00:30:11,358 --> 00:30:17,218
If something happens,
let's help each other protect the children
300
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,627
Yes
301
00:30:20,668 --> 00:30:27,455
Let's help each other as fellow wives,
and wait for our husbands
302
00:30:27,455 --> 00:30:30,239
Yes, promise?
303
00:30:30,766 --> 00:30:32,887
Definitely
304
00:30:37,494 --> 00:30:41,363
Besides the men having left for war
305
00:30:41,363 --> 00:30:45,516
it was still a peaceful summer
306
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,297
March, Showa 20 (1945)
307
00:30:49,297 --> 00:30:53,015
However, as it reached Showa 20 (1945)
308
00:30:53,015 --> 00:30:59,864
In the Great Tokyo Firebombing of March 10,
10,000 were killed
309
00:30:59,864 --> 00:31:07,577
and Osaka and Nagoya and many other
cities also saw heavy bombing
310
00:31:09,081 --> 00:31:12,200
Mother, are you okay?
311
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,613
- I'm fine
- Let's go
312
00:31:17,991 --> 00:31:24,648
Kobe was no exception. On March 17th and May 11th,
313
00:31:24,648 --> 00:31:31,652
two great bombings decimated the
west half of Kobe
314
00:31:31,652 --> 00:31:40,281
4000�killed, 200,000 were affected.
It was a devastating blow
315
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,120
Mother, are you okay?
316
00:31:48,506 --> 00:31:54,780
By this time, rations were getting close
to nil
317
00:31:54,780 --> 00:32:00,924
The civilians were beginning to strongly
318
00:32:00,924 --> 00:32:06,429
feel war's devastation
319
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:08,869
Quickly now
320
00:32:09,653 --> 00:32:12,238
Umm... we have six people
321
00:32:12,238 --> 00:32:17,817
Madame, please persevere.
It's better than what the soldier's get
322
00:32:23,443 --> 00:32:29,115
Then, that day... June 5th came...
323
00:32:30,471 --> 00:32:33,748
Stand by at home. You're dismissed
324
00:32:39,366 --> 00:32:41,444
So hungry
325
00:32:47,791 --> 00:32:49,136
Hello
326
00:32:49,136 --> 00:32:50,443
Hello
327
00:32:50,443 --> 00:32:52,746
- Who is she?
- A relative
328
00:32:52,746 --> 00:32:54,697
- Really? Not a girlfriend?
- NO
329
00:32:54,697 --> 00:32:56,889
Just a relative, I say
330
00:32:56,889 --> 00:33:00,222
The naval colonel's son having
relations with a girl!
331
00:33:12,985 --> 00:33:15,253
It's been a while
332
00:33:15,253 --> 00:33:19,138
There have been many bombings...
is your mother and Se-cchan okay?
333
00:33:19,138 --> 00:33:21,866
Yes, and you?
334
00:33:21,866 --> 00:33:26,617
I'm fine. We haven't had any
bombings yet
335
00:33:26,617 --> 00:33:28,669
That's good
336
00:33:30,059 --> 00:33:34,725
But... to tell you the truth
337
00:33:34,725 --> 00:33:36,294
I'm worried
338
00:33:36,829 --> 00:33:41,797
Father hasn't written to us,
rations are getting smaller...
339
00:33:41,797 --> 00:33:46,844
Don't worry. My father said
Japan will definitely win.
340
00:33:46,844 --> 00:33:51,118
So don't worry.
341
00:33:53,409 --> 00:33:55,375
Is that so
342
00:33:55,938 --> 00:33:57,980
Thank you
343
00:33:58,248 --> 00:34:00,248
It's nothing
344
00:34:04,851 --> 00:34:08,790
Please come visit us any time
345
00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:10,986
Ok, till next time
346
00:34:19,847 --> 00:34:21,918
Hurry mother
347
00:34:25,524 --> 00:34:28,765
- Brother, this too
- Sure
348
00:34:31,635 --> 00:34:35,212
Mother, what are you doing?
I said go ahead to the shelter
349
00:34:35,212 --> 00:34:36,181
Se-cchan
350
00:34:36,181 --> 00:34:40,757
I'll take her.
You can't run so you must go ahead
351
00:34:40,557 --> 00:34:42,930
- You're right
- HURRY!
352
00:34:43,232 --> 00:34:46,901
Sorry. Be careful, you two
353
00:34:46,901 --> 00:34:49,996
Mother! Do you have your medicine?
354
00:34:49,996 --> 00:34:52,895
Thank you. Yes I do
355
00:35:03,244 --> 00:35:04,846
Seita-san
356
00:35:05,990 --> 00:35:09,031
You hold on to this
357
00:35:09,031 --> 00:35:11,291
I got it, just go!
358
00:35:11,291 --> 00:35:13,621
Then I'll see you later
359
00:35:21,218 --> 00:35:23,237
- Setsuko, get on
- Ok
360
00:35:24,141 --> 00:35:26,195
Hold on tight
361
00:35:26,195 --> 00:35:27,053
Yes, brother
362
00:35:35,456 --> 00:35:37,959
Brother, my doll
363
00:36:38,808 --> 00:36:40,424
Brother!
364
00:37:07,404 --> 00:37:10,420
I can't do it. I can't get to the shelter
365
00:37:10,420 --> 00:37:14,259
Like I will be fighting
for the sake of the country
366
00:37:14,259 --> 00:37:19,745
you must defend your mother and Setsuko.
Don't ever yield.
367
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:13,108
Madame
368
00:38:15,146 --> 00:38:17,947
Yoshie-san? Are you okay?
369
00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:23,635
It's no big deal. I just got
sprayed by some oil from a bomb
370
00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:29,432
You work at the Kobe Customs.
Amazing you escaped
371
00:38:30,532 --> 00:38:35,876
I can't fight the war like brother,
but I must protect his family in his place
372
00:38:35,876 --> 00:38:40,868
Oh, I just meant, this bombing
was worse than ever so...
373
00:38:40,868 --> 00:38:44,227
The sky was black with B-29s
374
00:38:44,227 --> 00:38:50,332
"Black"...
Kobe is finally decimated
375
00:38:52,954 --> 00:38:56,462
How is Kyoko-san's house
376
00:38:58,241 --> 00:39:03,736
The whole area is destroyed by fire
377
00:39:03,736 --> 00:39:06,612
"Destroyed by fire"...
378
00:39:31,010 --> 00:39:36,144
So this is the black rain that
falls after bombings
379
00:39:37,140 --> 00:39:41,591
Are the B-29s gone?
380
00:39:43,869 --> 00:39:48,162
Setsuko, are you okay? No injuries?
381
00:39:48,655 --> 00:39:53,168
I lost one of the my shoes
382
00:39:55,531 --> 00:39:59,258
I'll buy you a new one, a better one
383
00:39:59,258 --> 00:40:04,561
I liked that one.
Let's go pick it up
384
00:40:04,561 --> 00:40:06,557
We can't now
385
00:40:06,934 --> 00:40:09,406
Setsuko, wait here
386
00:40:54,423 --> 00:40:57,153
It's all cleared away
387
00:40:58,183 --> 00:41:01,867
Is our house burned down?
388
00:41:03,254 --> 00:41:04,921
I guess so
389
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:07,158
What are we gonna do?
390
00:41:07,551 --> 00:41:10,357
Dad will avenge us
391
00:41:10,357 --> 00:41:13,490
What about mother?
Where is she?
392
00:41:14,939 --> 00:41:18,466
She's at the shelter.
No worries
393
00:41:18,466 --> 00:41:26,594
Everyone, please evacuate to the
Mikage National School
394
00:41:26,594 --> 00:41:30,448
Setsuko, let's go to the school. Mother will probably be there.
395
00:41:30,448 --> 00:41:31,059
Yeah
396
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:47,346
Seita-san?
397
00:41:48,287 --> 00:41:50,238
Aunt Hisako
398
00:41:51,651 --> 00:41:54,721
Se-cchan? Are you okay? No injuries?
399
00:41:54,721 --> 00:41:55,903
Yeah
400
00:41:55,903 --> 00:41:59,029
Do you know about my mother?
401
00:42:02,162 --> 00:42:06,051
She's inside. She's hurt
402
00:42:06,761 --> 00:42:09,339
Thank you (Kansai dialect)
Mother's inside, Setsuko
403
00:42:09,339 --> 00:42:11,522
Wait, Seita-san!
404
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,195
Leave Se-cchan with me
405
00:42:31,017 --> 00:42:33,927
- Seita-kun
- Oobayashi-san
406
00:42:35,235 --> 00:42:40,865
You're fine! I was looking for you
How's Setsuko-chan?
407
00:42:41,135 --> 00:42:45,672
She's fine
I heard my mother was hurt
408
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:47,272
Yes... come
409
00:43:00,947 --> 00:43:02,801
Over there
410
00:43:32,098 --> 00:43:39,414
Two bombs fell into the shelter.
How unfortunate...
411
00:43:41,529 --> 00:43:44,179
Where's the doctor?
412
00:43:45,776 --> 00:43:50,187
Mother has a bad heart.
She needs to see a doctor quickly
413
00:43:50,187 --> 00:43:52,088
Was that so...
414
00:43:53,471 --> 00:43:55,152
I'll get him
415
00:44:14,089 --> 00:44:15,490
Mother...
416
00:44:20,250 --> 00:44:22,912
Answer me
417
00:44:49,576 --> 00:44:50,919
Brother
418
00:44:52,415 --> 00:44:54,104
Where's mother?
419
00:44:56,965 --> 00:45:02,525
Mother went to the hospital for her heart
420
00:45:02,525 --> 00:45:06,253
...yeah, to the hospital
421
00:45:06,253 --> 00:45:09,406
I want to see mother
422
00:45:09,406 --> 00:45:13,285
Tomorrow. It's too late today
423
00:45:16,811 --> 00:45:20,642
Se-cchan, come to my place tonight
424
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,281
Your mother said so too
425
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,003
Then lets go get my shoe
426
00:45:29,003 --> 00:45:31,462
I said, "We can't now"
427
00:45:31,462 --> 00:45:39,913
If we don't get it soon we might never...
Mother bought me that shoe
428
00:45:39,913 --> 00:45:44,833
Be quiet! I said, "We can't now!"
429
00:45:56,001 --> 00:46:01,533
Your brother is acting as your father.
Please understand
430
00:46:08,806 --> 00:46:11,640
It's okay, Seita-san
431
00:46:22,729 --> 00:46:25,234
I'm home
432
00:46:25,234 --> 00:46:27,425
Se-cchan, we're here
433
00:46:31,347 --> 00:46:33,749
Where's Seita-kun?
434
00:46:34,025 --> 00:46:37,546
He's staying at the school tonight
435
00:46:46,743 --> 00:46:49,864
Se-cchan, come inside
436
00:46:53,219 --> 00:46:56,385
Do you dislike my home?
437
00:47:00,102 --> 00:47:03,037
Let's play ohajiki (Japanese taw)
438
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:14,968
Thank you
439
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:18,639
Not, "Thank you" (Tokyo dialect)
440
00:47:19,256 --> 00:47:22,294
It's "Thank you very much" (Kansai dialect)
441
00:47:23,674 --> 00:47:30,132
- "ThANk you"?
- "Thank YOU"
- "thank YOU"
442
00:47:30,986 --> 00:47:32,845
good!
443
00:47:37,145 --> 00:47:38,674
Se-cchan
444
00:47:55,775 --> 00:47:59,351
I'm sorry about mother
445
00:48:05,685 --> 00:48:08,850
Contact your father
446
00:48:18,244 --> 00:48:21,080
Seita-san, Se-cchan
447
00:48:28,891 --> 00:48:31,395
My, how dependable
448
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:45,220
Mother?
449
00:49:47,691 --> 00:49:50,487
Where's mother?
450
00:49:51,607 --> 00:49:54,481
Setsuko, mother's still...
451
00:49:54,837 --> 00:49:58,279
Her heart still isn't well?
452
00:49:59,194 --> 00:50:03,595
Yeah, and she was hurt too.
Just a little longer.
453
00:50:06,497 --> 00:50:09,849
I want to see mother
454
00:50:10,812 --> 00:50:15,521
Oh yeah, mother lent this to me
455
00:50:16,074 --> 00:50:18,114
She's giving it to you
456
00:50:18,793 --> 00:50:22,140
Look, aunt!
457
00:50:22,140 --> 00:50:24,338
Mother gave it to me!
458
00:50:24,338 --> 00:50:28,282
It's beautiful. Do treasure it.
459
00:50:28,282 --> 00:50:31,540
I'm going to show the others
460
00:50:38,705 --> 00:50:41,680
It must have been hard, Seita-san
461
00:50:43,067 --> 00:50:46,867
Please don't tell Setsuko yet
462
00:50:47,785 --> 00:50:50,985
You don't have to worry
463
00:50:50,985 --> 00:50:55,199
May we stay here until
I get word from my father?
464
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:58,005
Of course. You can
go to school from here
465
00:50:58,005 --> 00:51:02,084
No. I have to watch over Setsuko so,
I'm not going to school or the factory
466
00:51:02,084 --> 00:51:04,273
I'll watch over Setsuko for you
467
00:51:04,273 --> 00:51:07,464
No, I mustn't trouble you
468
00:51:07,464 --> 00:51:11,205
Don't be silly. You can
trouble me all you want
469
00:51:11,205 --> 00:51:14,594
I promised your mother
470
00:51:14,594 --> 00:51:16,588
But...
471
00:51:16,588 --> 00:51:19,579
Now, come in.
Let's have dinner
472
00:51:38,153 --> 00:51:40,271
What are you doing?
473
00:51:40,271 --> 00:51:42,842
How pretty! Is it real?
474
00:51:42,842 --> 00:51:46,168
- Of course
- Wow!
475
00:51:46,168 --> 00:51:49,482
Here, Se-cchan. Now you
won't lose it
476
00:51:51,135 --> 00:51:55,096
- Thank you
- Sure
477
00:51:55,096 --> 00:51:58,422
- It's so pretty
- Lemme see, lemme see
478
00:52:01,912 --> 00:52:04,249
Grace
479
00:52:16,781 --> 00:52:19,105
You're not eating?
480
00:52:19,105 --> 00:52:21,535
Yes, I'm not hungry
481
00:52:21,535 --> 00:52:23,408
Are you feeling ill?
482
00:52:23,408 --> 00:52:25,364
No, I'm fine.
Just a stomach ache
483
00:52:35,394 --> 00:52:37,890
Greetings father,
484
00:52:39,575 --> 00:52:43,346
I must report to you sad news
485
00:52:45,615 --> 00:52:51,375
Mother passed away
in a bombing on June 5th
486
00:52:55,051 --> 00:52:57,730
Setsuko and I are fine
487
00:52:57,730 --> 00:53:02,450
We are staying at Aunt's
house in Nishinomiya
488
00:53:02,450 --> 00:53:05,995
Aunt Hisako is very kind to us
489
00:53:05,995 --> 00:53:12,736
however, please tell us what
our next course of action should be
490
00:53:14,282 --> 00:53:19,080
Please reply soon.
491
00:54:01,157 --> 00:54:03,044
Setsuko, I've got it!
492
00:54:03,777 --> 00:54:05,583
Wow! Eggs!
493
00:54:05,583 --> 00:54:08,008
I haven't seen eggs in so long!
494
00:54:08,008 --> 00:54:10,223
Butter too!
495
00:54:10,223 --> 00:54:14,250
Herring and dried bonito!
496
00:54:14,250 --> 00:54:17,196
This was given to executive
officers of the military
497
00:54:17,196 --> 00:54:20,809
Amazing. Isn't it, mother?
498
00:54:22,193 --> 00:54:27,750
So many things we haven't seen
in months
499
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:30,921
- Aunt, make congee with egg!
- Yes
500
00:54:30,921 --> 00:54:34,807
- I want to eat quick! What's that?
- Salt! It's salt!
501
00:54:52,124 --> 00:54:55,332
Brother, where are the fireflies?
502
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,702
They're not here, I guess
503
00:54:59,904 --> 00:55:04,230
How come there are no
fireflies this year?
504
00:55:04,659 --> 00:55:08,245
- I wonder why...
- I wonder why...
505
00:55:09,924 --> 00:55:12,418
Oh yeah! Setsuko, close your eyes
506
00:55:12,418 --> 00:55:13,418
Why?
507
00:55:13,418 --> 00:55:14,919
Just close them
508
00:55:21,366 --> 00:55:23,632
Droplets!
509
00:55:23,632 --> 00:55:26,835
Your droplets were safe!
510
00:55:28,616 --> 00:55:32,232
I love you brother!
511
00:55:32,663 --> 00:55:34,679
Droplets...
512
00:55:35,468 --> 00:55:38,436
My droplets!
513
00:56:05,900 --> 00:56:09,499
The eggs were sooo good!
514
00:56:10,748 --> 00:56:15,207
I guess the military is living
luxuriously even at times like this
515
00:56:16,625 --> 00:56:19,999
Don't say it like that...
516
00:56:19,999 --> 00:56:26,325
I just thought, if only
we had an eggs worth of rice
517
00:56:27,833 --> 00:56:32,914
You can go. You have kinro-douin
tomorrow right? Go to sleep
518
00:56:32,914 --> 00:56:34,285
Right
519
00:56:35,302 --> 00:56:37,821
- Good night
- 'Night
520
00:56:48,345 --> 00:56:50,358
I said, "You can go"
521
00:56:52,342 --> 00:56:54,202
Oh, excuse me
522
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:58,530
Sis...
523
00:56:59,965 --> 00:57:02,986
Please accept this (bankbook)
524
00:57:04,211 --> 00:57:06,290
Yoshie-san?
525
00:57:06,820 --> 00:57:11,417
Sorry for my disrespect but,
please use this to buy rice
526
00:57:12,811 --> 00:57:17,088
You mustn't.
This is your hard earned money
527
00:57:17,088 --> 00:57:19,200
But...
528
00:57:20,962 --> 00:57:28,491
Rations are little to begin with...
and now you have two more adolescents to raise
529
00:57:28,491 --> 00:57:32,538
Rations can't be enough
530
00:57:38,092 --> 00:57:43,131
Please, don't worry.
If I accepted
531
00:57:43,131 --> 00:57:45,751
your money, what would my husband say
532
00:57:57,943 --> 00:57:59,849
Is this it?
533
00:57:59,849 --> 00:58:04,705
This time, we only got 1.5 cup per person
534
00:58:06,127 --> 00:58:09,481
We have four children
535
00:58:09,769 --> 00:58:12,386
You told me before
536
00:58:12,648 --> 00:58:13,943
Next
537
00:58:14,275 --> 00:58:18,310
I'm housing two children
who lost their homes too
538
00:58:18,310 --> 00:58:20,531
This won't even last three days
539
00:58:20,531 --> 00:58:24,279
That's what you get for
trying to look good
540
00:58:24,279 --> 00:58:28,601
If you want more,
you have to buy off the black market
541
00:58:30,306 --> 00:58:31,807
Next
542
00:58:42,066 --> 00:58:44,084
Is this it?
543
00:58:45,236 --> 00:58:50,046
The rations were smaller
this time
544
00:58:50,046 --> 00:58:53,403
Now, let's eat.
Grace.
545
00:58:57,978 --> 00:59:00,974
I'm hungry from kinro-douin
546
00:59:00,974 --> 00:59:02,700
Me too
547
00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:06,383
It can't be helped.
Everyone's in the same boat
548
00:59:06,752 --> 00:59:12,161
No they're not. We hungry
because we have more people
549
00:59:16,599 --> 00:59:18,898
What do you mean?
550
00:59:18,898 --> 00:59:21,874
- It's because they came
- Don't say that
551
00:59:21,874 --> 00:59:24,681
But it's true
552
00:59:24,681 --> 00:59:25,842
Teizo!
553
00:59:26,412 --> 00:59:28,525
Thank you, I'm finished
554
00:59:41,809 --> 00:59:45,715
Setsuko, you mustn't cry.
You'll wake everyone
555
00:59:46,163 --> 00:59:47,910
Mother~~
556
01:00:18,867 --> 01:00:20,392
Setsuko
557
01:00:22,553 --> 01:00:25,001
Mother~~
558
01:00:34,901 --> 01:00:38,676
He's been getting sick often lately
559
01:00:39,941 --> 01:00:43,427
He hasn't been getting
much nutrition
560
01:00:45,364 --> 01:00:48,376
It's alright.
Go to sleep
561
01:01:17,825 --> 01:01:21,065
1 bottle of rice
562
01:01:21,065 --> 01:01:23,170
1 bottle?
563
01:01:23,170 --> 01:01:27,023
Those from Tokyo aren't
worth much here
564
01:01:27,023 --> 01:01:31,030
This was given to me by
my mother when I married
565
01:01:31,445 --> 01:01:34,998
You don't have to accept the offer
566
01:01:34,998 --> 01:01:38,146
We're giving rice
out of good will
567
01:01:38,146 --> 01:01:41,183
Why don't you lower the price
a little
568
01:01:41,647 --> 01:01:45,194
You're kind to pretty women
569
01:01:45,194 --> 01:01:49,227
She's housing two extra children
570
01:01:49,629 --> 01:01:56,038
About those two children...
571
01:01:56,038 --> 01:02:01,211
The boy is in middle school and he
neither does kinro-douin nor does firefighting
572
01:02:02,561 --> 01:02:06,632
He lost his mother
and has a little sister
573
01:02:08,293 --> 01:02:13,309
He's not the only one
to have lost parents
574
01:02:15,648 --> 01:02:18,088
1 bottle is fine
575
01:02:54,446 --> 01:02:56,205
Thank you
576
01:02:56,205 --> 01:03:00,080
I was on my way to your house
577
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,390
Mine?
578
01:03:18,668 --> 01:03:25,412
I salute your husband's
honorable death as a Japanese male
579
01:03:30,385 --> 01:03:32,275
Death?
580
01:03:52,572 --> 01:03:54,480
Father...
581
01:03:56,803 --> 01:03:59,428
really died?
582
01:04:06,384 --> 01:04:12,086
It can't be
583
01:04:12,086 --> 01:04:15,970
No... father
584
01:04:29,843 --> 01:04:33,482
How did brother die?
585
01:04:38,808 --> 01:04:45,633
47 regimen of the infantry
586
01:04:45,633 --> 01:04:48,378
was ordered to charge
587
01:04:48,378 --> 01:04:50,782
and they committed gyokusai
(to all die fighting)
588
01:04:50,782 --> 01:04:53,384
Gyokusai?
589
01:04:54,644 --> 01:04:57,702
"It was an honorable death"
590
01:05:04,497 --> 01:05:07,845
I don't understand
what's so "honorable"
591
01:05:09,481 --> 01:05:13,180
How is dying "honorable"?
592
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,535
Aunt Hisako
593
01:05:19,697 --> 01:05:24,909
Uncle died an honorable death
as a valiant soldier of the Imperial Army
594
01:05:24,909 --> 01:05:30,292
It's something to rejoice,
not grieve
595
01:05:31,852 --> 01:05:33,824
"Rejoice"?
596
01:05:33,824 --> 01:05:37,047
My father says, "Japan will win"
597
01:05:37,047 --> 01:05:39,810
Uncle's death will not be in vain
598
01:05:39,810 --> 01:05:44,226
As a naval colonel,
he will avenge his death
599
01:05:48,884 --> 01:05:54,203
I don't care if he's avenged
600
01:05:54,203 --> 01:05:56,666
- Aunt?
- Seita-kun
601
01:06:08,636 --> 01:06:11,757
I'm fixing the leak
602
01:06:12,435 --> 01:06:15,265
Please don't die.
Just come back safely.
603
01:06:15,265 --> 01:06:16,761
I beg you
604
01:06:16,761 --> 01:06:22,318
Don't worry, I've always
been good at running away
605
01:06:22,318 --> 01:06:26,484
I'll come back safe
606
01:06:53,283 --> 01:06:55,005
Te-chan
607
01:06:55,928 --> 01:06:57,679
Mother
608
01:06:59,315 --> 01:07:01,638
Te-chan, here
609
01:07:03,909 --> 01:07:08,073
Sis, the doctor won't come
610
01:07:11,735 --> 01:07:14,183
Be strong, Te-chan
611
01:07:23,228 --> 01:07:27,618
We can't go outside today, Setsuko
612
01:07:27,618 --> 01:07:29,370
Mother~~
613
01:07:34,196 --> 01:07:38,355
Seita-san, Teizo is not doing well
614
01:07:38,809 --> 01:07:41,998
Could you please be more quiet?
615
01:07:41,998 --> 01:07:45,974
I'm sorry. The leaking
sound was bothering her
616
01:07:46,937 --> 01:07:50,664
Do you have something to eat?
617
01:07:50,664 --> 01:07:53,438
She seems to be hungry too
618
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,972
Of course not, at this hour
619
01:07:56,972 --> 01:08:00,588
What about the food I brought?
620
01:08:00,588 --> 01:08:02,981
We finished that ages ago!
621
01:08:08,313 --> 01:08:10,906
Mother?
622
01:08:12,531 --> 01:08:16,855
I'm going to the doctor's.
I'm going to beg again.
623
01:08:16,855 --> 01:08:17,961
But...
624
01:08:17,961 --> 01:08:21,547
I can't let Teizo die too!
625
01:08:29,099 --> 01:08:32,800
If you cry so much,
you won't see mother again
626
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,816
Mother~~
627
01:08:36,094 --> 01:08:42,666
From this night on,
mother never shed a tear
628
01:08:42,666 --> 01:08:45,938
The notice of father's death
629
01:08:45,938 --> 01:08:50,071
made up her mind
630
01:08:50,647 --> 01:08:57,482
I can never forget what
happened the next morning
631
01:09:35,940 --> 01:09:37,917
Please
632
01:10:03,303 --> 01:10:06,971
Grace
633
01:10:15,010 --> 01:10:16,629
Brother
634
01:10:17,902 --> 01:10:22,247
Mine doesn't have rice
635
01:10:22,247 --> 01:10:24,053
Just eat
636
01:10:29,024 --> 01:10:34,250
Teizo, I'm glad you're better.
Eat up and get nutrition.
637
01:10:34,250 --> 01:10:37,318
If you don't get nutrition,
your disease won't go away
638
01:10:37,318 --> 01:10:38,578
Yes, mother
639
01:10:38,946 --> 01:10:41,224
I'm going to eat up too
640
01:10:41,224 --> 01:10:45,668
Now that your father is dead,
I must stay healthy
641
01:11:02,270 --> 01:11:06,059
I wonder why father won't reply
642
01:11:06,059 --> 01:11:07,536
Who knows
643
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,892
Yeah. Of course you wouldn't know
644
01:11:12,892 --> 01:11:16,400
I'm hungry
645
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,634
Wait until dinner
646
01:11:20,126 --> 01:11:23,513
We can eat fine at night?
647
01:11:24,385 --> 01:11:26,945
Of course
648
01:11:27,211 --> 01:11:29,521
That's good
649
01:11:42,504 --> 01:11:46,213
What's wrong, eat up.
650
01:11:46,213 --> 01:11:48,305
You're going to be a soldier right?
651
01:11:58,113 --> 01:12:00,192
Excuse me, aunt
652
01:12:00,806 --> 01:12:02,304
What is it?
653
01:12:02,304 --> 01:12:06,139
We haven't eaten properly in a while...
654
01:12:06,139 --> 01:12:09,577
How strange of you to say that,
I serve you food every day
655
01:12:09,577 --> 01:12:11,484
Yes, but...
656
01:12:12,416 --> 01:12:16,701
You just give us the top part without rice
657
01:12:16,701 --> 01:12:20,357
That can't be helped,
our rations have declined
658
01:12:20,357 --> 01:12:22,994
But you do it just to us
659
01:12:26,173 --> 01:12:28,692
Just to you?
660
01:12:29,526 --> 01:12:32,432
Do what?
661
01:12:32,672 --> 01:12:34,471
Nothing...
662
01:12:35,287 --> 01:12:39,665
If you have something to say, just say it
663
01:12:45,953 --> 01:12:48,677
Air raid alert!
664
01:12:55,274 --> 01:12:56,807
Let's hurry to the shelter
665
01:12:56,807 --> 01:12:58,955
hurry, hurry
666
01:13:19,571 --> 01:13:24,489
Are you okay, Na-cchan, Hana, Miki?
667
01:13:24,489 --> 01:13:27,265
Mother, where's Seita-kun and Se-cchan?
668
01:13:27,265 --> 01:13:28,298
What?
669
01:13:30,862 --> 01:13:33,128
Is there something wrong?
670
01:13:33,128 --> 01:13:35,126
Our relative...
671
01:13:35,126 --> 01:13:38,727
You got separated?
Hope they haven't been hit
672
01:13:38,727 --> 01:13:44,387
That can't be helped.
Maybe it's better for them if they died
673
01:13:44,387 --> 01:13:48,062
- Don't say that
- What a terrible thing to say
674
01:13:58,732 --> 01:14:00,417
Setsuko, we're going
675
01:14:01,802 --> 01:14:03,396
Charge!
676
01:14:23,155 --> 01:14:25,975
We're safe here
677
01:14:26,658 --> 01:14:28,567
So bright!
678
01:14:29,565 --> 01:14:32,926
It's kind of pretty looking at it from here
679
01:14:33,224 --> 01:14:38,394
It's like the fireworks we saw
with grandmother and mother
680
01:14:45,260 --> 01:14:48,920
Whoa! Setsuko look! Amazing isn't it?
681
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,005
- Over there!
- Where? I can't see
- Come here
682
01:14:59,283 --> 01:15:02,647
- Setsuko look!
- So big!
683
01:15:15,746 --> 01:15:18,490
Don't separate with us like that!
684
01:15:18,490 --> 01:15:22,612
It's decided that we go
to the shelter with our tonarigumi!
685
01:15:22,612 --> 01:15:23,891
Yes
686
01:15:24,238 --> 01:15:29,622
You're not a child. You must start
thinking about helping others
687
01:15:29,622 --> 01:15:34,887
My neighbors criticize me because
you don't help with the firefighting
688
01:15:34,887 --> 01:15:39,868
I understand. But I
can't leave Setsuko alone
689
01:15:43,615 --> 01:15:47,450
Then I have something to say to you
690
01:15:47,450 --> 01:15:50,043
Your mother's ring...
691
01:15:51,097 --> 01:15:55,357
Why don't you exchange that for rice?
692
01:15:56,022 --> 01:16:02,034
Because you are not part of the
tonarigumi, you don't get rations
693
01:16:02,034 --> 01:16:08,471
Special aid is very small.
Even I sell my kimonos for food
694
01:16:08,471 --> 01:16:10,643
But the ring is...
695
01:16:10,643 --> 01:16:15,205
With that ring, we can maybe
get 10 or 20 bottles of rice
696
01:16:15,505 --> 01:16:19,019
10 or 20 bottles!?
That much?
697
01:16:19,470 --> 01:16:23,838
I don't want to say this but...
She doesn't need it anymore
698
01:16:23,838 --> 01:16:27,963
and your mother would
probably be happier this way
699
01:16:31,906 --> 01:16:34,826
I won't force you
700
01:16:39,890 --> 01:16:41,991
I got it
701
01:16:56,265 --> 01:17:00,037
Here, please
702
01:17:02,419 --> 01:17:04,388
Alright
703
01:17:05,885 --> 01:17:07,221
Then...
704
01:17:07,856 --> 01:17:12,543
No, it's mother's ring!
705
01:17:12,543 --> 01:17:14,429
No!
706
01:17:14,429 --> 01:17:17,478
Setsuko, stop!
707
01:17:17,748 --> 01:17:21,295
- Let it go
- It's mother's! No! Mother! Mother!
708
01:17:42,695 --> 01:17:45,392
Let's have this for dinner tonight
709
01:17:51,559 --> 01:17:54,996
Setsuko, look!
White rice!
710
01:18:01,756 --> 01:18:03,474
Setsuko?
711
01:18:11,839 --> 01:18:13,451
You smiled
712
01:18:18,584 --> 01:18:24,169
- I give up!
- Stupid brother!
- The "Battleship Yamato" is strong!
713
01:18:33,734 --> 01:18:35,810
Delicious!
714
01:18:36,523 --> 01:18:39,441
White rice is good
715
01:18:39,441 --> 01:18:42,414
- It fills the stomach
- More please!
716
01:18:43,162 --> 01:18:45,761
- Alright
- Me too
- Me too
717
01:18:45,761 --> 01:18:48,865
- You still have some left
- Oh right
718
01:18:59,169 --> 01:19:02,710
Still haven't finished?
Could you please hurry?
719
01:19:02,710 --> 01:19:07,363
Everyone else has long gone
to school or kinrou-douin
720
01:19:08,973 --> 01:19:11,116
Umm...
721
01:19:12,512 --> 01:19:16,041
Can you boil white rice tonight?
722
01:19:17,121 --> 01:19:20,967
Setsuko doesn't like kouryan (Manchurian millet)
723
01:19:20,967 --> 01:19:25,669
You mustn't ask for luxuries.
Kouryan is a valuable food too.
724
01:19:26,392 --> 01:19:31,409
You may be the son of an officer,
but you are a guest right now
725
01:19:31,409 --> 01:19:35,315
But there should be some of that rice left
726
01:19:35,315 --> 01:19:38,034
I'm saving it for emergencies
727
01:19:38,034 --> 01:19:42,801
If rations ended, we'd
still have something to eat
728
01:19:43,532 --> 01:19:47,411
But that's our rice
729
01:19:52,007 --> 01:19:54,635
Are you saying I'm being unfair?
730
01:19:54,635 --> 01:20:00,454
No. It's just that that rice was
bought with mother's ring
731
01:20:00,694 --> 01:20:06,594
What about all the rice you
had been eating up until then?
732
01:20:06,594 --> 01:20:11,182
You can't ask for free food
doing nothing all day
733
01:20:11,182 --> 01:20:14,524
Natsu and Hana are off at kinrou-douin
734
01:20:14,524 --> 01:20:21,033
Even little Yuki and Teizo are helping
me with the fields with our tonarigumi
735
01:20:21,033 --> 01:20:23,902
You're the only one doing nothing
736
01:20:23,902 --> 01:20:26,209
I'm protecting Setsuko!
737
01:20:26,209 --> 01:20:29,920
My father is protecting our country
and I am protecting Setsuko!
738
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,560
The military isn't protecting the country!
739
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:37,701
They force people to fight who don't
want to and kill them like bugs
740
01:20:42,942 --> 01:20:45,854
What's that look for?
741
01:20:49,369 --> 01:20:55,611
I understand. If you are that dissatisfied,
let's have separate meals
742
01:20:57,088 --> 01:20:59,667
Then you won't have complaints
743
01:21:08,410 --> 01:21:12,901
I wonder what happen to Aunt?
744
01:21:16,053 --> 01:21:23,242
Before, she gave me
droplets and was so kind
745
01:21:24,592 --> 01:21:26,329
Who knows
746
01:21:39,988 --> 01:21:41,847
Brother!
747
01:21:47,009 --> 01:21:48,649
Here
748
01:21:53,291 --> 01:21:55,510
Hold out your hand
749
01:22:04,297 --> 01:22:05,825
No more...
750
01:22:09,222 --> 01:22:12,876
I'm sorry, brother
751
01:22:14,272 --> 01:22:16,839
It's okay. Let's go
752
01:22:32,607 --> 01:22:40,558
You work like that and
we won't finish by night
753
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,562
Work harder
754
01:22:44,562 --> 01:22:52,200
By July, rations were sporadic
755
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,901
For people like us,
who came to sokai from Tokyo
756
01:22:55,901 --> 01:23:01,378
we didn't have relatives or friends
757
01:23:01,378 --> 01:23:04,473
who could share food with us
758
01:23:04,473 --> 01:23:07,464
Here, thank you very much
759
01:23:07,945 --> 01:23:11,726
Here, good work today
760
01:23:15,270 --> 01:23:16,856
What do you want with a stove?
761
01:23:16,856 --> 01:23:18,389
We're making meals
762
01:23:18,389 --> 01:23:21,098
Your aunt makes you meals
763
01:23:21,098 --> 01:23:23,541
We're doing it ourselves now
764
01:23:23,541 --> 01:23:26,335
A knife and eggs too
765
01:23:26,335 --> 01:23:29,921
Yourselves? That's impossible
766
01:23:29,921 --> 01:23:33,641
It's just until father gets back
767
01:23:33,641 --> 01:23:35,769
How much?
768
01:23:35,769 --> 01:23:41,273
200 yen... actually 170 yen will do
769
01:23:49,759 --> 01:23:54,890
I don't know what happened,
but don't be stubborn
770
01:24:06,812 --> 01:24:11,806
We'll have good congee soon, Setsuko
771
01:24:11,339 --> 01:24:12,411
Ok!
772
01:24:14,343 --> 01:24:16,758
It's dinner, help out
773
01:24:23,986 --> 01:24:26,505
It's because you were so harsh
774
01:24:26,505 --> 01:24:30,166
I didn't say anything wrong
775
01:24:30,166 --> 01:24:33,790
I just said we must help each
other out in times of emergency
776
01:24:33,790 --> 01:24:37,994
They're the ones being stubborn and
trying to show us off
777
01:24:38,842 --> 01:24:44,304
Setsuko, you don't have to eat so proper
778
01:24:44,922 --> 01:24:47,329
Ah~ so delicious
779
01:24:47,638 --> 01:24:50,009
- Seita-san?
- Yeah?
780
01:24:50,294 --> 01:24:52,801
Bad manners
781
01:24:54,290 --> 01:24:55,862
Yes
782
01:25:16,122 --> 01:25:17,699
Seita-san
783
01:25:19,095 --> 01:25:26,049
If you're going to live on your own,
you must provide your own water
784
01:25:40,784 --> 01:25:43,580
- Brother?
- Yeah?
785
01:25:44,604 --> 01:25:46,832
What me to help?
786
01:25:47,249 --> 01:25:51,496
You just hold the lamp
787
01:25:51,496 --> 01:25:53,788
- Brother?
- Yeah?
788
01:25:53,788 --> 01:25:56,819
Isn't it cold?
789
01:26:01,086 --> 01:26:02,709
Brother
790
01:26:02,709 --> 01:26:04,783
Be quiet Setsuko
791
01:26:04,783 --> 01:26:06,815
Fireflies!
792
01:26:08,832 --> 01:26:10,843
You're right!
793
01:26:12,964 --> 01:26:18,103
So glad! The fireflies came back this year
794
01:26:31,131 --> 01:26:33,456
Over there too!
795
01:26:48,995 --> 01:26:51,146
- They're pretty
- Yeah
796
01:27:00,096 --> 01:27:02,132
Over there too!
797
01:27:09,386 --> 01:27:12,007
- Amazing
- Yeah
798
01:27:24,169 --> 01:27:28,985
Brother...
799
01:27:28,985 --> 01:27:33,007
I don't like Aunt's place anymore
800
01:27:33,478 --> 01:27:37,166
Then do you want to make this our home?
801
01:27:37,166 --> 01:27:41,007
No one will bother us.
We can do as we please
802
01:27:41,007 --> 01:27:42,323
Yeah!
803
01:28:06,705 --> 01:28:10,384
Mother didn't say anything
804
01:28:10,384 --> 01:28:16,113
And even though we knew
what was going on
805
01:28:16,113 --> 01:28:20,337
we kept quiet too
806
01:28:20,337 --> 01:28:25,830
Thank you for keeping us.
We're moving elsewhere now
807
01:28:26,907 --> 01:28:30,587
Where elsewhere?
808
01:28:30,587 --> 01:28:32,863
It's a nice place
809
01:28:32,863 --> 01:28:36,258
There's plenty of room for sleeping
and playing and plenty of water
810
01:28:36,504 --> 01:28:37,594
Right Setsuko?
811
01:28:37,594 --> 01:28:38,778
Yeah!
812
01:28:40,056 --> 01:28:44,600
Is that so, then no worries
813
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,473
What? Mother!
814
01:28:47,845 --> 01:28:49,960
Well, good bye
815
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:51,281
Seita-kun
816
01:28:52,918 --> 01:28:54,700
Seita-kun!
817
01:29:33,761 --> 01:29:35,473
This is the kitchen
818
01:29:37,250 --> 01:29:39,465
This is the entrance
819
01:29:39,513 --> 01:29:43,734
This is the Japanese style room
And that's dad's study
820
01:29:44,168 --> 01:29:46,124
And that's mother's...
821
01:29:46,576 --> 01:29:48,993
Brother
822
01:29:49,593 --> 01:29:54,247
What about the bathroom?
823
01:29:54,247 --> 01:29:56,623
What do we do?
824
01:29:56,451 --> 01:30:00,685
Anywhere! I'll be with you
825
01:30:00,973 --> 01:30:02,080
OK!
826
01:30:05,707 --> 01:30:08,205
I wonder where Se-cchan went?
827
01:30:09,335 --> 01:30:12,759
- I wonder if they're ok
- They said it's a "nice place"
828
01:30:12,759 --> 01:30:15,303
How could it be a "nice place"
829
01:30:16,390 --> 01:30:17,990
Welcome home
830
01:30:19,308 --> 01:30:22,719
How can you be fine at a time like this
831
01:30:22,719 --> 01:30:24,555
Are you hungry?
832
01:30:27,431 --> 01:30:29,066
Mother!
833
01:30:31,139 --> 01:30:32,426
Sis
834
01:30:33,008 --> 01:30:37,700
Oh, you're back early
835
01:30:38,466 --> 01:30:41,946
You're not going to go look for them?
836
01:30:45,051 --> 01:30:49,970
They left on their own.
I didn't kick them out
837
01:30:49,970 --> 01:30:54,096
But, two children cannot live on their own
838
01:30:54,096 --> 01:30:57,280
If they must, they will come back
839
01:30:58,430 --> 01:31:02,105
- This is unlike you
- Yoshie-san?
840
01:31:03,674 --> 01:31:07,266
Can you lend us some money?
841
01:31:10,349 --> 01:31:14,180
You may think,
"How hypocritical, after rejecting the offer earlier"
842
01:31:14,180 --> 01:31:17,311
But there was no rations
this week either
843
01:31:18,251 --> 01:31:24,311
No more rice, no more soybean,
and no more kimonos
844
01:31:24,668 --> 01:31:28,625
We need to have
you share the burden too
845
01:31:29,085 --> 01:31:31,920
That's fine
846
01:31:35,592 --> 01:31:43,296
You can't live off of pretty ideologies anymore.
Pride and will can't feed you.
847
01:31:46,688 --> 01:31:49,112
Am I wrong?
848
01:31:54,097 --> 01:31:58,521
No, you aren't wrong
849
01:32:13,655 --> 01:32:16,719
Setsuko, don't cry
850
01:32:19,010 --> 01:32:21,630
Mother...
851
01:32:36,361 --> 01:32:37,692
Setsuko
852
01:32:39,201 --> 01:32:40,801
Setsuko, open your eyes
853
01:32:45,135 --> 01:32:48,933
Ready? Let me show you something
854
01:32:49,246 --> 01:32:50,544
What is it?
855
01:32:50,894 --> 01:32:53,988
Just come over here and see
856
01:33:09,130 --> 01:33:10,724
Ready?
857
01:33:17,983 --> 01:33:21,678
Wow! Fireflies!
858
01:33:21,678 --> 01:33:24,318
Now we're not alone
859
01:33:42,934 --> 01:33:46,490
Brother, thank you very much (Kansai dialect)
860
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:19,283
The fireflies... they've died
861
01:35:11,616 --> 01:35:13,588
Setsuko!
862
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,517
What are you doing?
863
01:35:49,025 --> 01:35:53,928
I'm making a grave. A grave of fireflies
864
01:35:55,860 --> 01:35:58,411
You're so kind, Setsuko
865
01:35:58,742 --> 01:36:02,354
We have to make mother's grave too
866
01:36:05,184 --> 01:36:07,855
I know
867
01:36:11,142 --> 01:36:15,373
Mother died right?
868
01:36:17,824 --> 01:36:22,795
She won't come back
no matter how long we wait, right?
869
01:36:33,543 --> 01:36:35,618
Setsuko
870
01:36:37,543 --> 01:36:40,931
Sorry for not telling you
871
01:36:42,616 --> 01:36:46,523
Mother, at the bombing
872
01:36:48,929 --> 01:36:52,155
was burned by an incendiary bomb
873
01:36:55,849 --> 01:37:00,358
Japan will win the war
874
01:37:00,358 --> 01:37:04,085
and father will come home
875
01:37:04,085 --> 01:37:06,797
and we'll have a grave made.
876
01:37:08,237 --> 01:37:12,475
Then, let's pray there, the three of us
877
01:37:14,187 --> 01:37:18,729
It must have hurt mother
878
01:37:42,007 --> 01:37:44,271
Please use this (bankbook)
879
01:37:50,339 --> 01:37:52,165
Thank you
880
01:37:55,718 --> 01:37:58,512
I shall go now
881
01:38:07,708 --> 01:38:10,292
You are really leaving?
882
01:38:10,790 --> 01:38:15,296
Yes, a coworker says he can keep me
883
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,203
So sudden
884
01:38:19,203 --> 01:38:21,525
Brother has died,
885
01:38:21,525 --> 01:38:26,296
I can't stay here using
my leg as an excuse
886
01:38:29,696 --> 01:38:36,717
I don't want to see
you changing more
887
01:38:40,994 --> 01:38:45,112
Is that so? Then it can't be helped
888
01:38:50,290 --> 01:38:53,781
No worries, I'm an adult
889
01:38:53,781 --> 01:38:57,101
Please be well
890
01:39:10,142 --> 01:39:11,699
Uncle Yoshie
891
01:39:26,757 --> 01:39:28,692
Uncle!
892
01:39:37,624 --> 01:39:40,053
You're terrible
893
01:39:40,785 --> 01:39:45,203
You kick out Seita-kun and Se-cchan,
and now Uncle Yoshie too!
894
01:39:46,711 --> 01:39:51,654
Uncle has a bad leg!
He just finally found a job!
895
01:39:51,654 --> 01:39:54,742
You're too cold to throw him out on his own
896
01:39:57,530 --> 01:40:04,410
Done. I've added more cotton
so it should protect against incendiary bombs
897
01:40:06,346 --> 01:40:10,141
You can't bribe me with this
898
01:40:10,428 --> 01:40:16,961
Whatever. I'm going to get rice
so come with me
899
01:40:17,758 --> 01:40:21,449
I don't want to become like you
900
01:40:24,540 --> 01:40:29,154
I don't want food if it means
I have to abandon others
901
01:40:34,155 --> 01:40:38,866
Then I don't have to cook for you?
902
01:40:39,773 --> 01:40:42,382
I'm grateful
903
01:40:42,967 --> 01:40:48,289
We just barely have enough
rice, salt for five people
904
01:40:49,006 --> 01:40:54,561
If we lose one person
it'll be better for the rest of us
905
01:40:58,788 --> 01:41:03,600
Devil! You're the devil!
906
01:41:34,128 --> 01:41:37,823
10yen!? 10yen for just this?
907
01:41:38,327 --> 01:41:43,925
If it's too expensive, don't buy it.
I wasn't intending on selling it anyway
908
01:41:45,973 --> 01:41:48,284
You're not buying?
909
01:41:49,593 --> 01:41:52,325
With the rice and stuff
910
01:41:52,325 --> 01:41:58,393
we spent a lot of mother's money,
we should save some
911
01:42:10,164 --> 01:42:11,679
Let's go
912
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:37,430
Brother?
913
01:42:38,665 --> 01:42:43,389
- Setsuko, wait here
- Why?
914
01:42:43,389 --> 01:42:46,631
Just wait here
915
01:42:58,276 --> 01:43:00,400
Hey, what are you doing?
916
01:43:03,814 --> 01:43:04,998
Setsuko, let's go
917
01:43:09,380 --> 01:43:11,331
Seita-kun...
918
01:43:11,943 --> 01:43:14,072
You thief!
919
01:43:17,583 --> 01:43:20,726
- Mister, stop!
- Shut up!
920
01:43:26,878 --> 01:43:29,290
- Are you with him!?
- Huh?
921
01:43:29,290 --> 01:43:32,351
Are you with this guy!?
922
01:43:39,494 --> 01:43:41,625
Hey, stop!
923
01:44:49,466 --> 01:44:51,928
Where were you?
924
01:44:59,076 --> 01:45:01,792
I boiled white rice
925
01:45:06,827 --> 01:45:09,822
Eat up today
926
01:45:38,931 --> 01:45:44,953
From that point on,
I never mentioned
927
01:45:44,953 --> 01:45:48,564
Seita-kun or Se-cchan
928
01:45:50,875 --> 01:45:55,278
Don't go!
Our dinner escaped...
929
01:45:57,478 --> 01:46:02,398
Everyone was desperate to live
930
01:46:02,855 --> 01:46:07,675
Everyone was losing themselves
931
01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:15,950
Everyone was forgetting something important
932
01:46:18,635 --> 01:46:22,047
Tomorrow, we may burn and die
from a raid
933
01:46:22,047 --> 01:46:27,034
Tomorrow, we may have no food
and starve to death
934
01:46:27,922 --> 01:46:35,326
There's nothing greater
than that fear and worry
935
01:46:49,701 --> 01:46:52,348
Setsuko, dinner
936
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:54,603
I don't want it
937
01:46:55,039 --> 01:47:02,502
You musn't have likes and dislikes,
whether it be soybean or baby potato
938
01:47:03,057 --> 01:47:05,521
Yeah, but
939
01:47:08,464 --> 01:47:12,294
I have diarrhea
940
01:47:18,676 --> 01:47:23,041
Setsuko, what's wrong? Setsuko!
941
01:47:27,403 --> 01:47:31,345
It's a weakening due to malnutrition
942
01:47:31,345 --> 01:47:35,235
She hasn't eaten anything
good for two weeks
943
01:47:35,235 --> 01:47:39,548
The diarrhea and fainting are
also from the malnutrition
944
01:47:39,548 --> 01:47:43,110
- Next
- Wait, no medicine?
945
01:47:43,110 --> 01:47:47,416
She needs nutrition,
not medicine
946
01:47:47,850 --> 01:47:52,289
Nutrition? Like what!?
947
01:47:52,900 --> 01:47:59,392
Nutrition like white meat
from fish or egg yolk
948
01:47:59,392 --> 01:48:05,192
Oh, apples would be
good for her too
949
01:48:05,192 --> 01:48:09,243
Where the hell would I get that?
950
01:48:09,587 --> 01:48:13,944
If you're a doctor, tell me!
Where could I get them!?
951
01:48:13,944 --> 01:48:17,474
- Where? Tell me!
- Stop it!
952
01:48:46,854 --> 01:48:51,973
Oh no... we're even out of salt
953
01:49:08,537 --> 01:49:13,626
Man am I hungry. What
would you like to eat Setsuko?
954
01:49:15,992 --> 01:49:18,136
Tempura
955
01:49:19,287 --> 01:49:22,461
That sounds nice
956
01:49:24,675 --> 01:49:29,472
and sashimi
957
01:49:29,876 --> 01:49:33,228
and tokoroten
958
01:49:34,302 --> 01:49:37,817
Anything else?
959
01:49:38,718 --> 01:49:42,408
Congee with egg
960
01:49:44,169 --> 01:49:47,111
and...
961
01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:51,056
droplets
962
01:50:48,185 --> 01:50:49,940
Eggs!
963
01:50:59,695 --> 01:51:01,450
What are you doing?
964
01:51:03,544 --> 01:51:08,891
You thief! Get all impudent
after all our kindness
965
01:51:36,305 --> 01:51:39,983
- I'm very sorry
- Thanks for coming
966
01:51:45,856 --> 01:51:50,267
You must be surprised
how beat up he is
967
01:51:50,267 --> 01:51:56,343
You have no right to complain.
Thieving during a raid is a serious crime
968
01:51:56,740 --> 01:51:58,031
I'm very sorry
969
01:51:58,031 --> 01:52:00,445
If apologizing was enough
we wouldn't need the police!
970
01:52:00,445 --> 01:52:04,729
Leave this to the police.
Be merciful. Merciful
971
01:52:07,284 --> 01:52:12,441
It's woeful that a naval
officer's son is stealing
972
01:52:14,229 --> 01:52:20,738
If it happens again,
you will take responsibility
973
01:52:25,975 --> 01:52:29,954
Because of you,
your aunt is in trouble too!
974
01:52:37,450 --> 01:52:40,896
I'm sorry to butt in but
975
01:52:41,494 --> 01:52:44,101
can you please take him back?
976
01:52:46,952 --> 01:52:53,274
There must have been problems,
but you don't want them to be tramps
977
01:52:56,274 --> 01:53:00,495
You too. Bow and beg to be taken back
978
01:53:00,495 --> 01:53:03,315
It's impossible to live
on your own as children
979
01:53:05,154 --> 01:53:10,171
Come on. It's not a shame.
Your sister's still little right?
980
01:53:10,171 --> 01:53:13,707
You have to have her feed you
981
01:53:18,005 --> 01:53:23,651
Do you know why the kind
general store owner got so mad?
982
01:53:25,585 --> 01:53:32,201
His son was also a naval officer
983
01:53:32,201 --> 01:53:36,371
and on the coast of Malaysia,
he was killed in action
984
01:53:38,793 --> 01:53:46,318
It's so depressing that a
naval officer's son is stealing!
985
01:54:20,294 --> 01:54:21,959
Um...
986
01:54:27,537 --> 01:54:29,510
I...
987
01:54:37,307 --> 01:54:39,744
Setsuko is...
988
01:54:39,744 --> 01:54:42,863
You don't have to apologize, Seita-san
989
01:54:46,795 --> 01:54:50,429
I can't have you apologize
990
01:54:52,368 --> 01:54:57,729
I don't have food to
provide you if I forgive you
991
01:54:59,388 --> 01:55:03,243
Even if I had more rice,
992
01:55:03,243 --> 01:55:10,023
even if it be one grain,
I'd give it to Teizo or Natsu
993
01:55:11,740 --> 01:55:15,923
I don't despise you
994
01:55:15,923 --> 01:55:21,728
I just can't let Teizo,
995
01:55:21,728 --> 01:55:24,554
Natsu, Hana, or Yuki die
996
01:55:26,759 --> 01:55:31,866
Bear a grudge on me all you want
997
01:55:33,598 --> 01:55:37,409
Seita-san, this is what war is about
998
01:55:39,972 --> 01:55:44,141
This is what it means to be at war
999
01:55:46,451 --> 01:55:49,204
I have no intention of apologizing!
1000
01:55:49,486 --> 01:55:54,232
I'm the first son of Naval
colonel Yokokawa Kiyoshi!
1001
01:56:51,442 --> 01:56:53,421
Brother?
1002
01:56:56,413 --> 01:57:01,953
Setsuko, sorry for being so late
1003
01:57:03,787 --> 01:57:05,349
It's okay
1004
01:57:08,210 --> 01:57:12,341
What happened to your face?
1005
01:57:14,576 --> 01:57:21,669
Nothing, just got stung
by striped mosquito
1006
01:57:25,128 --> 01:57:27,402
Does it hurt?
1007
01:57:30,358 --> 01:57:35,954
You have to call the
doctor and get a shot
1008
01:57:38,484 --> 01:57:42,327
Don't say things like mother
1009
01:58:28,888 --> 01:58:30,224
Brother
1010
01:58:37,867 --> 01:58:41,404
Setsuko, you feeling better?
1011
01:58:43,165 --> 01:58:46,064
Is that so! That's great!
1012
01:58:46,689 --> 01:58:50,728
I got better after having a droplet!
1013
01:58:50,728 --> 01:58:52,673
Droplet?
1014
01:58:57,732 --> 01:59:02,342
Dummy! What are you eating!? It's an ohajiki!
1015
01:59:06,763 --> 01:59:08,539
Setsuko?
1016
01:59:09,339 --> 01:59:23,686
Brother, here. It's dinner.
Do you want a bowl?
1017
01:59:38,164 --> 01:59:43,868
Let me give you an okara
1018
01:59:45,433 --> 01:59:47,632
Setsuko...
1019
01:59:47,414 --> 01:59:51,215
You're not having it?
1020
02:00:03,694 --> 02:00:06,760
Setsuko, wait here
1021
02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:09,834
Let me get you something
good with this (bankbook)
1022
02:00:12,281 --> 02:00:17,028
Brother, don't go
1023
02:00:18,266 --> 02:00:22,543
I don't need any food
1024
02:00:23,626 --> 02:00:28,618
I just want to be with you
1025
02:00:30,533 --> 02:00:32,617
Setsuko
1026
02:00:34,347 --> 02:00:37,723
But you need to eat
1027
02:00:37,723 --> 02:00:41,425
Let me buy eggs and make
congee with egg
1028
02:00:41,425 --> 02:00:45,215
Then I'll hold you, blow your food,
and feed you
1029
02:00:45,215 --> 02:00:50,271
It's a promise.
This time for real
1030
02:01:14,175 --> 02:01:15,574
What is it?
1031
02:01:19,528 --> 02:01:23,107
Showa 20 (1945) August 15
1032
02:01:30,747 --> 02:01:32,666
What does it mean?
1033
02:01:36,841 --> 02:01:39,302
Japan lost
1034
02:01:40,764 --> 02:01:43,425
The war is over
1035
02:01:44,170 --> 02:01:48,115
What? The war is over?
1036
02:01:49,091 --> 02:01:52,745
Then no more bombings?
1037
02:01:52,745 --> 02:01:55,989
- I suppose so
- No more B-29s?
1038
02:01:55,989 --> 02:01:58,560
- Yes
- Yay!
1039
02:02:00,743 --> 02:02:06,579
- No more running!
- No more kinrodouin, right?
- Of course!
1040
02:02:07,609 --> 02:02:11,209
What's going to happen?
1041
02:02:13,886 --> 02:02:15,844
Who knows...
1042
02:02:19,936 --> 02:02:27,293
Dad died for this war...
how could they lose?
1043
02:02:31,454 --> 02:02:34,300
What's going to happen to
Seita-kun and Se-cchan?
1044
02:02:34,953 --> 02:02:40,122
If Japan lost, that must mean
1045
02:02:40,122 --> 02:02:42,387
Seita-kun's father also died
1046
02:02:42,387 --> 02:02:44,359
Time to eat
1047
02:02:44,575 --> 02:02:46,608
At a time like this?
1048
02:02:46,917 --> 02:02:52,191
Regardless of Japan losing
or what happens to the country,
the body gets hungry
1049
02:03:07,735 --> 02:03:10,062
Excuse me?
1050
02:03:28,552 --> 02:03:32,039
- What's going to happen?
- How should I know?
1051
02:03:32,570 --> 02:03:36,018
The devilish American soldiers
are going to come?
1052
02:03:36,018 --> 02:03:39,213
Um... did something happen?
1053
02:03:40,129 --> 02:03:42,354
We surrendered
1054
02:03:43,559 --> 02:03:46,878
Surrender? Japan lost?
1055
02:03:46,878 --> 02:03:50,236
Yeah, "unconditional surrender"
1056
02:03:58,865 --> 02:04:02,313
Then what happened
to the unified fleet?
1057
02:04:02,313 --> 02:04:08,917
They've long sunk and disappeared
1058
02:04:12,614 --> 02:04:15,517
No way
1059
02:04:15,517 --> 02:04:19,292
Like I will be fighting
for the sake of the country
1060
02:04:19,292 --> 02:04:25,379
you must defend your mother and Setsuko.
Don't ever yield.
1061
02:04:27,299 --> 02:04:32,167
No way!
My father can't have died!
1062
02:04:32,167 --> 02:04:33,744
What the hell
1063
02:04:33,968 --> 02:04:36,019
It can't be!
1064
02:04:37,410 --> 02:04:41,720
- Idiot! Japan has lost!
- No way! No way!
1065
02:04:45,653 --> 02:04:47,330
Stop!
1066
02:04:48,779 --> 02:04:51,386
Seita-kun, are you okay?
1067
02:04:53,631 --> 02:04:54,943
Seita-kun!
1068
02:05:02,564 --> 02:05:07,673
Stupid, stupid father!
1069
02:05:38,079 --> 02:05:39,656
Sis
1070
02:05:42,722 --> 02:05:44,555
It's been a while
1071
02:05:44,821 --> 02:05:46,868
Yoshie-san!
1072
02:05:49,822 --> 02:05:51,761
You were fine!
1073
02:05:51,761 --> 02:05:53,487
Thankfully
1074
02:05:53,736 --> 02:05:57,052
I'm glad. Come in
1075
02:06:04,936 --> 02:06:08,304
What are you doing
from now on?
1076
02:06:09,802 --> 02:06:12,618
I don't know yet
1077
02:06:14,134 --> 02:06:19,407
I will be getting a
ticket to return to Tokyo
1078
02:06:19,653 --> 02:06:21,527
Where at?
1079
02:06:21,527 --> 02:06:24,619
I haven't decided
1080
02:06:24,619 --> 02:06:29,535
But there are no more
raids. I will be fine
1081
02:06:32,627 --> 02:06:34,623
I suppose
1082
02:06:40,475 --> 02:06:43,132
I saw Seita-kun
1083
02:06:46,832 --> 02:06:51,136
He was living by the river,
all thin
1084
02:06:54,407 --> 02:06:56,318
I'm sorry
1085
02:06:59,390 --> 02:07:02,200
Why do you apologize?
1086
02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:06,214
I acted all moral in
front of you
1087
02:07:06,214 --> 02:07:09,605
but I too was too busy
with my own business
1088
02:07:09,605 --> 02:07:13,328
and couldn't do anything
for them
1089
02:07:15,530 --> 02:07:18,735
I didn't understand anything
1090
02:07:20,105 --> 02:07:24,719
Like brother was fighting
on the battlefield,
1091
02:07:24,979 --> 02:07:27,427
you were also...
1092
02:07:28,056 --> 02:07:29,922
Yoshie-san,
1093
02:07:34,065 --> 02:07:37,112
be careful
1094
02:07:39,634 --> 02:07:46,314
We may never see each other again,
but I pray for your well being
1095
02:07:54,020 --> 02:07:59,901
Give my regards to your children
1096
02:08:33,349 --> 02:08:35,836
Come on, now
1097
02:08:35,836 --> 02:08:40,373
You must hide it all.
If there's a riot, it'll all
be taken
1098
02:08:40,588 --> 02:08:41,593
yeah...
1099
02:08:43,267 --> 02:08:47,765
There's nothing we can do about
the country losing
1100
02:08:48,918 --> 02:08:51,795
I'm sorry, we're closed for...
1101
02:08:52,291 --> 02:08:56,303
You thief! Why are you here?
1102
02:09:10,356 --> 02:09:13,222
Give me rice and eggs
1103
02:09:13,222 --> 02:09:15,606
We have nothing to sell to thieves
1104
02:09:15,606 --> 02:09:18,319
My sister's sick
1105
02:09:18,717 --> 02:09:22,129
I don't care how many,
please sell me some
1106
02:09:22,564 --> 02:09:24,334
Please
1107
02:09:24,626 --> 02:09:29,838
- He's gone mad!
- Go home, Japan's lost
1108
02:09:30,891 --> 02:09:33,626
That money's worthless
1109
02:09:33,626 --> 02:09:39,375
I don't care. Sell me eggs. Give me rice!
1110
02:09:39,740 --> 02:09:44,649
Setsuko's going to die! I beg you
1111
02:09:44,649 --> 02:09:47,923
I beg you! Please! I beg you!
1112
02:10:03,907 --> 02:10:05,451
Mother?
1113
02:10:06,319 --> 02:10:13,203
I'm going
1114
02:10:13,203 --> 02:10:16,450
The war is over
1115
02:10:39,625 --> 02:10:42,350
Setsuko, I'm back
1116
02:10:43,755 --> 02:10:47,035
Look! Eggs and rice!
1117
02:10:59,901 --> 02:11:01,781
Setsuko?
1118
02:11:09,384 --> 02:11:12,451
Fireflies...
1119
02:11:24,783 --> 02:11:27,735
Setsuko, I'll make congee
with eggs real quick, okay?
1120
02:11:33,348 --> 02:11:41,637
Brother, thank you very
much (Kansai dialect)
1121
02:11:42,796 --> 02:11:45,359
Just wait
1122
02:12:11,588 --> 02:12:15,123
Mother's egg congee used
to be so good, huh?
1123
02:12:17,047 --> 02:12:23,951
The eggs were soft and the right saltiness.
1124
02:12:25,719 --> 02:12:30,852
So good my tongue would melt.
Right, Setsuko?
1125
02:12:57,942 --> 02:13:01,374
So stupid, Setsuko
1126
02:13:15,552 --> 02:13:21,936
The congee with egg
was almost done
1127
02:13:24,499 --> 02:13:26,430
Setsuko...
1128
02:13:35,598 --> 02:13:38,053
Setsuko!
1129
02:13:38,506 --> 02:13:43,170
Why Setsuko? What am I supposed to do?
1130
02:14:20,202 --> 02:14:21,440
Mother...
1131
02:15:20,251 --> 02:15:23,210
Seita-kun, Se-cchan!
1132
02:16:17,693 --> 02:16:20,489
Seita-kun, Se-cchan!
1133
02:17:31,523 --> 02:17:33,469
Setsuko
1134
02:17:34,317 --> 02:17:36,240
I'm sorry
1135
02:17:38,140 --> 02:17:42,055
I couldn't find the other one
1136
02:17:44,065 --> 02:17:48,569
Mother will probably have it
1137
02:19:16,269 --> 02:19:23,642
Seita-kun put Se-cchan's little
bones into the can of droplets
1138
02:19:23,642 --> 02:19:29,585
and left, never to return to Yokohana
1139
02:19:29,882 --> 02:19:35,147
Seita-kun died at San'nomiya Station
1140
02:19:35,147 --> 02:19:39,160
and was cremated with the other tramps
1141
02:19:39,160 --> 02:19:44,981
about a month after the war ended.
1142
02:19:44,981 --> 02:19:53,341
It was the day after the law to
protect child war victims was passed
1143
02:20:21,991 --> 02:20:24,175
We're going
1144
02:20:48,832 --> 02:20:52,017
Wow, so pretty.
Setsuko, look!
1145
02:20:52,017 --> 02:20:53,917
- Over there!
- Over there too!
1146
02:20:53,917 --> 02:20:57,146
...rations are getting smaller...
- Don't worry
1147
02:20:57,146 --> 02:21:00,009
Here, Se-cchan. Now you
won't lose it
1148
02:21:00,009 --> 02:21:01,620
Thank you!
1149
02:21:01,620 --> 02:21:03,492
Delicious!
1150
02:21:25,496 --> 02:21:27,775
I...
1151
02:21:29,522 --> 02:21:32,674
I don't want to live
1152
02:21:37,533 --> 02:21:40,948
because
1153
02:21:40,948 --> 02:21:46,358
we killed them, Seita-kun and Se-cchan
1154
02:21:46,970 --> 02:21:48,833
We killed them!
1155
02:21:50,274 --> 02:21:51,712
Ow!
1156
02:21:55,888 --> 02:21:58,539
Don't be stupid!
1157
02:21:58,539 --> 02:22:01,372
The war isn't over yet!
1158
02:22:02,087 --> 02:22:05,330
The real war starts now!
1159
02:22:06,118 --> 02:22:08,674
If you die,
you lose
1160
02:22:09,084 --> 02:22:11,943
If you die,
it's over
1161
02:22:30,882 --> 02:22:33,997
If you die,
it's over
1162
02:22:42,470 --> 02:22:45,211
Afterwards, mother
1163
02:22:45,211 --> 02:22:48,738
brought us back to Tokyo
1164
02:22:48,738 --> 02:22:54,835
and raised us
1165
02:22:54,835 --> 02:22:58,971
without a single tear or complaint
1166
02:22:59,560 --> 02:23:04,480
And until she died at the age of 95,
1167
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:10,519
she never mentioned the war.
1168
02:23:20,180 --> 02:23:21,973
Here?
1169
02:23:23,185 --> 02:23:30,344
This was our sokai, Manchidani
1170
02:23:31,108 --> 02:23:39,499
And over there. The entire
city of Kobe was in ruins
1171
02:23:44,616 --> 02:23:48,018
It has completely changed
1172
02:23:48,018 --> 02:23:52,209
Nothing remains of its past
1173
02:23:56,399 --> 02:23:58,393
This is the first time
1174
02:23:58,837 --> 02:24:00,397
huh?
1175
02:24:00,397 --> 02:24:05,166
This is the first time
you spoke about the war
1176
02:24:06,229 --> 02:24:09,219
I didn't want to recall
1177
02:24:09,219 --> 02:24:13,879
the war nor the events that took place here
1178
02:24:13,879 --> 02:24:18,859
Even Seita-kun and Se-cchan who died here
1179
02:24:20,623 --> 02:24:23,258
But
1180
02:24:23,258 --> 02:24:27,386
But mother remembered...
1181
02:24:28,396 --> 02:24:32,586
And every time she looked at this,
1182
02:24:32,586 --> 02:24:39,798
she probably felt the
weight of having survived
1183
02:24:39,798 --> 02:24:45,347
I guess the war isn't an old tale
1184
02:24:47,327 --> 02:24:51,484
It's because great-grandmother survived,
1185
02:24:51,484 --> 02:24:55,768
that you survived and mother was born,
1186
02:24:55,768 --> 02:25:00,324
and that I'm here.
1187
02:25:06,350 --> 02:25:08,386
- Grandmother?
- Yes?
1188
02:25:11,303 --> 02:25:17,149
I wonder how far this river flows...
1189
02:27:50,067 --> 02:27:57,141
This drama is fictional. However,
there are many children worldwide
like Seita and Setsuko
who are living in the fire of war.
