"No Regrets For Our Youth"

The Manchau Revolution created an excuse for the warlords...

To expand their imperialism.

In order to unite the people.

They suppressed their opponents.

An example is the Kyoto University Case.

The roles in this film are based on reality.

"Kyoto".

Yukie.

Teacher.

Father.

The smell of the soil is so refreshing.

The sky is so beautiful too.

The wind is so soft.

This makes people feel relaxed.

Here we can see the University.

Freedom is Kyoto University.

Kyoto is a free, prosperous place for the pursuit of knowledge.

Now is the time to freely pursue knowledge.

The Manchau Revolution created Fascism.

Noge has begun to teach again.

Itokawa, is there any rehearsals?

I saw some soldiers.

I like to listen this music best.

The rhythm makes people comfortable.

How's that?

Any camels?

So tired.

Since you walked too fast.

"1933".

Freedom in the school is collapsing.

The problematic Prof. Yagihara is fired.

Professors express anger to the Minister.

We must protect the school even we have to withdraw.

Kyoto University Student Association.

The Japanese warlords are supported by the rich.

To make the Manchau in China become a semi-colony.

By using the warrior way.

To solve the thought problem.

That I believe is the real problem.

What you say is always the same.

You talk all about the Manchau Revolution, warlords and the rich.

I hate the leftists.

Since it's a chain relationship.

To realise the warrior idea.

To compulsively unite all the different thoughts.

My dad is a man of freedom, not an opponent.

Any person who is against the warrior idea is said to be an opponent.

My dad is absolutely right.

The right-minded must win.

You dad had said the same.

And the professors resigned to force the Minister to re-examine.

But the Minister is the leader of the powerful party.

It is normal for him to cooperate with warlords and suppress thought.

It's stupid to ask him to change his mind.

So what do you think good?

To say the cause of this case.

Caused by the militarism.

So it's right to fight against the militarism.

We can't convince the teacher.

The final loser is the University.

You look happy to wait for the result.

I said that for I hope they win.

However the teachers can't see that.

Only use the childish thought for failure.

Please stop this embarrassing conversation.

Never thought the world of many problems.

It should have a happy side.

Itokawa, I tell you some good news.

Please follow me.

This is your pitfall.

Why don't you seriously listen to the others?

So you can see your beautiful world.

Full of caring.

Never try to fall, never grow up.

Though your criticism makes me feel hard.

But frank speech is the most beautiful speech.

Or it's nonsense.

Itokawa, give me the book.

- Want to go home? - Yes.

Please send my regards to teacher.

He's coming, let's have dinner?

I have something to do.

Really?

- Are you back? - Want to go back?

Don't say that again.

Do you know the Minister is proud of himself?

Even no regrets to cancel all the degrees?

You are so great.

The professors at the North-east University would be in danger.

Perhaps the teacher would not agree.

Anyway I'd stay firm.

The brave deserves admiration.

But it should not conflict with the role of students.

How?

Need to smoke?

Is it OK?

Itokawa, please sit down.

And apologise to me.

Apologise for what?

Just do what I said.

Please.

Hurry up?

What are you doing?

Don't do that, forget it.

Don't be angry with Noge.

He's rude to everyone.

He just tells the truth.

If it were you, you'd not say.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm also a believer in academic freedom.

How can we keep silent now?

No energy to fight if you're hungry.

He's something good.

I like this guy.

If I were a girl, I ought to be with him.

"Student Associations United".

"The truth is of academic freedom".

"To protect academic freedom".

"Don't let the friends at Kyoto University be teased".

"To firmly protect the school".

"Students must be united for freedom of speech".

"Detest the firm policies of Arts".

"Initiate collapse of prof.-ship".

"Some profs must resign".

"Make use of the name of reborn to fight against".

"To firmly protect the school".

"Down with Fascism".

"Minister is talking to the Force".

"Strang [Joint Conference]".

"Arts intends to suppress students".

"Police plan to catch protesters".

"Is academic freedom promised".

"The Head has yet to decide".

"The Kyoto problem is unclear".

"The Kyoto problem is finished".

"Teachers and students are coming back to school".

How's Noge?

How's Noge now?

We must be stronger.

Don't be tired.

Treat the failure as victory.

Everybody.

Wish you'd think carefully.

We have lost this time.

However everybody.

The justice must win.

Though the flowers wilted this year.

They will blossom in the right time.

No matter what the difficulties.

Most important to learn a lesson.

We fight against the counter party.

In the hard time.

To have the precious experience.

Is what we can't forget.

It's so far from Tokyo.

Even in this far Tokyo.

Under the shrine of Fascism.

Self-regulation and freedom can't stand.

Of course it needs to avoid self-abandon.

Self-abandon can't solve problems.

We won't be that.

Teacher, we have decided to fight until we die.

Even we are asked to withdraw.

We have no regrets to a school without freedom.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the support.

But I can't agree with you.

Teacher, why?

Your parents may not allow.

To withdraw before graduation.

What a griving thing.

You're looked after by your sister.

You'd also think about your sister.

Teacher, so what?

Tough I understand you.

Isn't it the band of seven?

Only five left today.

It is rare.

And the absent are the key men.

How are Itokawa and Noge?

Went to the University.

For three years, for two years.

Although you do not care.

Mum is reckoning.

Finally it's the last year.

But dad can't see it.

Now it's useless to dream.

The assets he left to us.

Frankly we almost finish the savings.

It's good if Noge is here.

Itokawa is unacceptable.

That guy is always like that at the critical moment.

How's Itokawa?

He is a liar.

- Liar? - No.

Everything is not clear.

What he said today clearly tell us.

How about Noge?

Noge is not coming back again.

Why?

He disappeared one week ago.

Caught by the police?

Released if he's released.

He's not satisfied only to do activities.

He's a man of perfect.

- Good night. - Good night.

I am so worried.

Those are the goodness of students.

I mean Yukie.

She and Noge...

I feel that she's good to Noge.

Do they only quarrel?

When she's heard of the leftist activities run by Noge.

You mean Noge?

I am so worried.

I am worried about her.

Has everyone come?

All gone.

What have they decided?

About what?

To bet for studies or activities.

My dad objects seriously.

Great.

So no other objection.

It's so great.

You won't be said of a liar.

I am willing to be a liar.

By doing so I also have some reasons.

You won't understand.

It's so far from Tokyo here.

Even in this far away Kyoto Uni.

Under the shine of Fancism.

Self-regulation and freedom can't stand.

Pain was over yesterday.

"1938".

Brave to victory.

Promise to go abroad.

How can we die before fighting?

Every time we hear the horn.

The flags are showed like waves.

This is good looking.

Yagihara's art is outstanding.

This is not possible.

Miss Yagihara.

How is that?

Teacher said.

Flower art should show the true side of oneself.

Just follow your thought.

How's that?

Nothing.

Mum.

Perhaps I'll marry Itokawa.

Just joking.

Just joking.

Yukie, I know he's out.

"Please enter this way".

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thanks for worrying about me.

- How much is it? - The fees.

"Free legal aid".

Anything wrong with the job?

Anything wrong to work for the public?

I don't mean that.

Teacher was a key man in the Kyoto University case.

Maybe the others discriminate it.

This is Inspector Itokawa's viewpoint.

Please don't be angry.

No, I may have said too much.

Nothing happened?

Mr. Itokawa.

What do you think the Itokawa's work?

It's amazing.

Never think of her outstanding work.

Your way of admiration is special.

She's a girl but like a boy.

The games in primary school.

were all planes, cars etc.

Yes, I'll bring a man here next time.

It may make the family surprised.

Is Noge.

Mum, give me if you don't eat that.

Is Noge good?

He has changed a lot.

I send you to the main door.

Where is teacher?

Academics always leave the guests.

Sorry to bother you.

- Yes, Mr.Itokawa. - What?

- About the coming of Mr. Noge. - Yes.

Is it true?

What do you mean?

I am OK here.

However I think...

- Please don't be that. - What?

Don't bring Noge here.

Why?

Because l.

Feel scared.

Scared of what?

Noge.

Why?

Foe instance.

The days I follow you are stable.

But it is sad.

I think the style of living is too simple.

If it's Noge?

If it's with Noge.

I will feel the bright light.

Living should cast a bright light.

Tough -- it's scary but attractive.

Today's Noge is different.

Five years changes a man.

You also have changed, you seem more mature.

I've aged the same five years as Noge.

It's a special period in prison.

It's lucky to be caught.

Recalling it makes me sweat.

But one has a good chance to learn in prison.

You can study philosophy and the arts.

When were you released?

Just a year ago.

Had replacement sentence last winter.

It's hard to be released if nothing is changed.

This is not wrong.

Itokawa helps me a lot in Inspection.

To guarantee my ID and give me a job.

Human are small and weak.

It's unlike the former Noge.

He used to stand higher than I was.

The shine behind me would hurt you.

Yukie.

Yukie, how's that?

We need to go.

Noge'll go to China and he's not coming back shortly.

Please come again.

I should not have come.

How's that?

Yukie said she's leaving.

Is she leaving?

She's not a child with a good temper.

Honestly what's happening?

She said she wanted to live alone in Tokyo.

Why did she say that?

Have you perceived?

Today when she saw Noge leaving?

She finally...

- I know her very well. - However.

She does the opposite to her thought.

I think Yukie loves Noge.

Do you really want to match them?

But Itokawa hasn't decided when to take the appointment.

Yukie is 25 years old.

Do you think Noge is serious?

I think it's clear.

This is most important.

I am not interested in this.

So why did you ask if Noge was serious?

Where is Yukie?

She's in the room.

I'm pleased to see her learn flower arts.

You wait for me here.

- Are you leaving this family? - Yes.

Now you still haven't decided like a homeless.

Sit down.

Are you confident to live alone?

I learned foreign languages and typing.

Maybe I can find a job in business.

It should be OK.

So it can be done in Kyoto.

You should think about your mum.

I hate everything now.

I must forget everything.

To find my own way.

This world.

Is unlike what you think life is.

I know.

I only feel life is meaningless now.

Or at least I would wish to know.

What is life?

I must test it out personally.

I have nothing to say to that.

To personally develop my own way.

Indeed it's a important thing.

But Yukie.

You must be responsible for your decision.

It must transcend fighting for freedom.

And must take responsibility afterwards.

This point can't be forgotten.

"1941".

Left the lecture hall 8 years ago.

And I met the prof again.

It's amazing.

My wife has the flu.

That's no good.

It's not too bad.

Since the daughter left.

I obviously am being annoying.

How's your daughter?

Did she finally go to Tokyo?

She has been working for the firm.

But the business isn't good enough.

And said wishing to go to China.

To China?

She's also unhappy.

But I see the feeling.

"Tokyo".

Yukie, is it Yukie?

Good to see you here.

- Haven't seen you for a long time. - Neither have I.

I heard you came to Tokyo.

How about you?

I was sent here.

Are you in a hurry?

No.

Have dinner together?

I wish to talk to you.

I am married.

Going to be a daddy.

Congratulations.

This is a way to thank parents.

We have separated for a long time.

Remember the trip to Plum Blossom Hill?

That's also long time ago.

I will come by myself.

We were young.

Please not make a mistake.

And don't mind.

It's unforgettable.

Honestly speaking.

"Proposal on Chinese Problems".

Did you see Noge then?

He's now in Tokyo.

You know nothing about that?

There's a sign in Chuk.

"OPEC Study".

Very obvious.

He's the spokesman for the unions.

And trusted by the financial sector.

It's hard to tell.

You are clever to follow him.

His style of living makes people jealous.

Since he likes to climb hills.

The three of us used to play and talk.

But I was a companion only.

Please.

A visitor.

She did not give her name.

It was a girl.

Where is the visitor?

Did your parents let you do it?

When was it?

- Leaving home? - Yes.

The day you visited my home.

Which day?

It was three years ago.

And I changed jobs three times.

Anyway it's for the living.

I really wish it comes true.

Do something that make me take part.

My dad told me before I left home.

After beautiful freedom.

One must take painful responsibility.

I wish to have a job like this.

This is a difficult question.

Can a man come across it in life?

Same as whether luck enough to see the Fortune Bird.

Noge.

Do you have any secrets in your heart?

Please tell me.

I really want to know.

For I know that must be a good thing.

You look different.

What would you imagine my business is?

Don't scold me again.

I was like this before.

No matter what I'd imagine for it.

But now...

I am stupid.

Suddenly shout for the secrets.

I am very embarrassed.

Treated as if I said nothing.

- But Itokawa is so worried. - Itokawa?

Perhaps it's nothing.

Just your work here.

Don't know if it's OK.

What do you mean?

It is not necessary to know.

Really?

I don't quite understand.

My work here is under surveillance.

I am afraid that I would need to tunnel out of here to quit.

Now it is not as easy as before.

What does he want to do to you?

Nothing good.

Perhaps the moment is coming soon.

So I must try to do what I must do.

Yukie...

I am afraid the day is coming.

The road ahead is rough.

Don't worry.

I am not scared.

Why do you come? I have said it clearly.

Useless.

To me.

Must save every minute every second.

Save the time to be with you.

How?

To sew this cloth.

Don't know whether you have a chance to dress.

Return?

Have you written to dad?

Why?

I don't know what to write.

Should I tell him I have a happy family?

I feel sorry for him.

And your mother and you.

Why?

Life with no regrets.

Are not these our words?

No matter how painful.

The present life makes me feel worthy.

I just find it difficult to write.

Look at the cloud.

Still remember?

Is it Plum Blossom Hill?

That time when we were young.

To protect academic freedom.

What?

That little worm.

Very beautiful.

The little spots are fantastic.

Finished one important thing.

I really feel happy.

Let's celebrate.

That's good.

Although I don't know what's that.

But I am also happy.

That's not relevant.

You don't need to know why.

Just to support me.

Thanks.

In ten years what we are doing now...

Will be appreciated by the Japanese.

Do you understand?

How?

What is it?

This thing?

This is my weakness.

Weakness?

My heart is the weakest.

Inconvenient to let me know?

You have the right to know.

It's about my parents.

I haven't seen them for ten years.

We are blind.

In my childhood I used to be scared of dad.

And scared of mum, scared to make her cry.

Really thought myself so pitiful.

These problems with parents and children.

Give me some hints with my current job.

Indeed what I want to have.

Is life with no regrets.

I need to go out.

You will return before dinner time?

Certainly.

Let me buy you a gift.

And I will also prepare a grand dinner for you.

I'll be back soon.

Return?

If you want to go home any time soon, just tell us the truth.

Anyway we have the evidence.

When did you go out with Noge?

When did you become Noge's girl?

Open your mouth and speak.

We have enough time to break you.

Disgusting.

As stubborn as Noge.

Do you want to see him?

But what he is planning is revenge.

Have you given up? Right?

He's been a traitor.

It will go hard on him.

Noge used to be great.

You may be interested in what I said.

Special News.

Navy Army Headquarters December 8 announcement.

The Army at the West Pacific Ocean in the morning on the 8th.

Is ready to fight with the USA.

"1941 December 8 Monday".

Yagihara Yukie, come out.

Yukie.

"A plot by international spies".

"Their head is the researcher Noge".

"Tokyo Regional lnspection".

Sorry to make you worried.

My wife sends you her regards.

No, I am afraid I can't help you.

I am the defense attorney for Noge.

Noge?

The details are similar to what you say.

Why everything Noge does is treason.

Itokawa, I have left the lecture room for ten years.

What have you done?

I wanted to guide the heat of emotion.

- I want to help Noge... - Teacher.

I must do this way.

- Although I am not young. - Teacher.

I've decided to be his defense counsel.

Noge was found dead in the prison.

Yukie...

Yukie.

Can you listen to dad?

Don't say anything.

- But Yukie. - Stop talking.

Stupid.

Aren't you Noge's wife?

Think about the meaning of Noge's struggle.

In order to save Japan he sacrificed himself.

You should be proud of your companion.

When you left home.

Weren't you prepared?

To take responsibility for freedom.

What do you plan to do?

- We need to go to Noge's home. - Noge's home.

But Yukie...

Now only his parents are left.

But they won't come back for the corpse.

That is why I need to go Noge's home.

Do you need to go now?

Yukie, calm down.

I am Noge's wife.

What have I done wrong?

To deserve this punishment.

This son of vengeance.

How can I appear before my relatives?

But that's a good thing.

Give me, there's nothing we can do.

You stay here.

We'll come back soon.

All the windows are knocked by dad.

Our life is hell.

"Home of Traitors".

Just let me stay.

I'll do anything.

No matter what it is.

- Don't say that. - No.

However our life style.

Is totally different from yours.

You mean I can't do it?

It's OK if you teach.

Just let me try.

Whatever it is.

I am prepared.

Although we want to do it, we can't.

Do you know what the neighbours say about my family?

We are treated as traitors.

Please let me stay.

I am Noge's wife.

Please.

I won't go back.

Won't go back.

This son of vengeance.

I am Noge's wife.

I am Noge's wife.

What are you doing?

Dad asks where are you going?

If I don't wait until night.

I'll be humiliated.

Yukie.

Traitor...

Mum.

What?

To live with no regrets.

To live with no regrets.

Don't forget the responsibility for freedom.

In ten years what we are doing now.

Will be appreciated by the Japanese.

Do you understand?

To live with no regrets.

To live with no regrets.

Yukie.

Today I need to wake up early to go out to the fields.

How about you?

Don't do it if you are sick.

Nothing.

Morning.

Your head is sweating.

I don't care.

Look.

We have farmed a lot.

Yukie...

Don't keep quiet all day.

Just talk to her.

Make some small talk.

She works so hard for us.

This rich wife is not ashamed.

To help us farm.

Why do you pretend you are blind?

Lung is also...

Why would it be that?

Who did it?

Did the neighbours destroy our fields?

Why were the neighbours so angry?

Where is Yukie?

Where are you going?

Yukie.

"Traitors".

"Traitors".

Old dad.

Animals.

Disgusting.

That's our reward from our country.

Yukie.

Excuse me.

Is Noge's home nearby?

The surname is Noge.

Shocking.

Really shocking.

In fact auntie asked me to come.

I am not happy that you have gone to the farm.

It was unfortunate that Noge went the wrong way.

But you don't need to follow in his footsteps.

I can't win you.

It can be said that passion.

That strong life makes me ashamed.

I always talk to uncle and auntie.

To worry you is stupid.

Please tell me where the Noge's grave is.

I decided to honor his grave while I am here.

Not necessary.

Maybe normal people would thank you.

But I won't.

Even Noge wouldn't feel happy.

Perhaps in the eyes of Inspector Itokawa.

He was only an unfortunate.

Which is the right way?

Time is a slow but fair judge.

"Independence Day".

I wish he'd lived to see this day.

Fight for academic freedom.

Fight for the peace and welfare of the Japanese.

The brave heroes.

He's the pride of our school.

That Mr. Noge has passed away...

But the great spirit of Noge...

Will be with us forever.

I expect there'll be many who want to become Noges.

So I decided to step into the lecture room again.

Very quiet.

How many years has it been like this?

The things that happened over last ten years are like a dream.

Things now are the same as they were before.

Today dad is also going to school.

If you want to stay.

Everything at home is the same as before.

Anyway do you need to go?

I am sure Noge's parents will understand.

Isn't your goal fulfilled?

I have made my home there.

Mum, please look.

These hands I am putting on the piano don't match the ones I used to have.

And the work at village is plenty.

The life of the farmers especially the girls.

Is particularly hard.

I hope I can help to improve things.

That's my reason for living.

I am a village culture supervisor.

You really were born to work hard.

Why do you say that?

I never think about it.

- However. - No.

Don't feel sorrow at what you lost.

That's what Noge used to say.

To live with no regrets.

What makes me feel happy.

The red flowers on the hill.

The summer scene at two sides.

Don't talk about flowers in the city.

Plum Blossom Hill under the shadow of the moon.
