Dad...

Mom.

Thank you very much for giving birth to me and raising me.

Mineko has been giving her speech.

Mineko, we are happy for you.

We will live smiling!

Please give us your support and guidance.

I... Masuda... so... so...

｢Pon pon pon…｣

Saying sweet nothings...

...a shy heart beats so fast.

That day when we saw "The Sound of Music"...

...I can relive that day just by closing my eyes.

It's the only precious treasure of my youth.

One I've held in my heart all this time… Ah ah

That night the girl at the bar, "Lonely"...

I wonder what's become of her.

That pupa is now a butterfly...

...and is surely in someone's arms.

Plazas filled with youths have such fun dramas...

...bursting with dreams, full of blue skies.

Arms around one another, their voices unite...

...burning with hope, in a song of love.

Hiyokko 2 begins now!

It has been 2 years.

It is Fall of 1970, or Showa 45.

The drama starts in the morning in Okuibaraki Village.

Grandpa! Dad!

They laid 5 eggs.

Oh! Maybe, something good will happen.

Chiyoko, don't drop them.

Okay.

-Mom, -Yeah? -They laid 5 eggs.

Wow. That's incredible.

We've got a lot.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Again? Okay, okay.

Hey!

137cm! 132cm!

It is the Yatabe family's typical morning.

-Let's eat. -Lets eat.

I made perfect fried eggs today.

Yes. It is good, not broken.

I failed yesterday. The egg yolk was broken.

Even though it was broken, it was good.

Really?

Wow, wow! You want more?

-Okay. -Yes!

You will be tall soon, Susumu.

Yep. I don't wanna stand in the front row.

Thanks to the refrigerator, we can have cold milk.

That's right.

I don't like it much.

Everything is cold.

It is not necessary to have everything last longer.

Yeah... sorry.

But you like cold beer, right?

Oh~, beer tastes better when it is cold.

Right? Right!

Yes.

Grandpa, I'm leaving now.

See you.

Mineko used to commute along this path, too.

Time sure flies.

Good morning~!

Ah~, it is already morning.

Not even one page...

we couldn't draw.

Good morning. -Ah!

-What are you doing? -You don't mind just one.

-Put it back. -No!

Stop fighting in the morning.

Because...

Good morning Mineko-san. Good morning.

I am off now.

I am gonna take this.

Ah~! Have a good day, Mineko-san.

Tomi-san, Good morn.... -Good morning.

You look great as always, Tomi-san.

Yes. I am more and more energetic every day.

What will happen to me?

I am leaving. -Have a good day.

Good morning. -Good morning.

You look cheerful, as always.

Chiyoko is always punctual.

Morning~!

Not morning!

Don't give me "Morning". It should be, "I am late". Sorry. Sorry.

I am leaving.

See you!

What? What are you talking about? It's your job.

No, you said you would do it.

-I didn't say that! -Yes. You did!

-No I didn't! -You did!

-I didn't say that, right? -Right?

Why are you running away? -That's right. Why?

Why...

Because you two are scary.

-Who is scary? -Who is scary?

We run a rice store. Why bread?

Why are you having Bulgarian yogurt?

Shut up.

What's wrong? I like bread now.

Right? Mitsuo.

No. It is not that you like bread...

You have a crush on the wife of the pastry store. Pervert!

Right? Mitsuo-kun.

Even Mitsuo...

said she was beautiful.

What? What do you mean, Mitsuo-kun?

No, no, no. Your dad asked if she is beautiful.

So I just said "yes".

Every morning, the same thing over and over. Please stop this.

Rice and bread switched. When did that happen?

I like your upset face.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

-Good morning Kotaro-san. -Morning.

Oh!? Oh, Oh!? Oh, Oh, Oh!?

Chiyoko~!

I am here to greet you, Jiro Mashiko, Jiro Mashiko.

I will work hard for Okuibaraki!

Thank you! Thank you!

People say I am not a good guy.

But isn't it fine if it is good now?

-It's not good. -What? Why?

Senpai, will you please stop that parody song every morning?

Is there another song more energetic, more cheerful?

Really? Wait a minute.

I think there is something like that. Genji-san

Let's work seriously.

Yes! I am sorry.

Mineko is scary.

-Have you forgotten anything? -No. Akane, do you have your homework?

I have it. Well, I am leaving.

I am off. Have a good day!

-Take care. -Have a good day!

-Dad. -Yes?

Please stop slacking. Get down to work.

Yes. I am sorry.

Yasuharu~, work hard.

Huh? I am telling you every morning. Why do you call me Yasuharu, without -san? Akane.

That's because you are Yasuharu. See ya!

Okay. Have a good day. -That's right.

What do you mean? I don't get it.

Yasu... Yasu... Yasuharu!

I am relying on you.

Stop. Don't rely on me first thing in the morning.

Well, take care.

I am off, Ichiko.

Good morning. Good morning.

-Okay! -That is good.

That is very good. Nice. Is that good? This?

Okay.

Wonderful!

-What is that? -What are they doing? Really

Right.

Good morning. Good morning.

Yuka-chan, good morning. Hi Yuka. Ah?

-Are you helping us today? -Yes.

Yesterday, Mineko called me...

"We will be busy tomorrow. We will be busy tomorrow. We will be busy tomorrow".

That's all she said and then "bye". Then she hung up the phone.

-Eh~? Did I say that? -What?

-Ah~ Sorry. Sorry. Sorry! -I said that. I said that.

-Yes. I said that. -Thank you.

It will be busy today, right?

-Should I stay and help you, too? -What?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

-Excuse me, can I have some water? -Yes. Coming right up.

-Excuse me, can I order? -Yes.

I will have Croquette, instead of Neapolitan.

-Can I have another soup? -Yes.

What's wrong, everyone?

Aiko-san, good at your job.

What? Really?

I see.

-Are you alright, Suzuko-san? -Yes. Yes.

If I made a mistake with an order, I would retire.

I will be fine until then.

She doesn't make a mistake. That make me a little upset.

Right. She doesn't make mistakes.

It serves you right.

We will be busy today. Let's work hard!

Yes!

-Hide! Garoni! -It's ready!

Good! Yes!

-Okay. Hamburg is ready. -It's ready.

Hide started cooking on the stove some time last year.

He is doing his best.

Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much. -Thank you very much.

Yuka, that's not that table.

-We need to serve table #7 first. -What?

Yes. I am sorry.

Sure.

-Okay. Neapolitan is ready. -Yes.

Dad and Mom, How are you?

I have the same old everyday...

A lot of them bloomed because of the rain.

Yeah. This is great.

But it is good that I have the same old everyday.

I live in Tokyo and got married...

Oneechan, let's work hard.

Let's work hard.

I became Mineko Maeda from Mineko Yatabe.

Sometimes, I feel strange living in Tokyo.

I didn't come to Tokyo for a happy reason.

Kiyo-san, don't you wanna ask Takako-chan to join us?

Yeah. It would be fun.

That's okay. We get along well.

I'd feel bad if she always had to hang out with me.

We need to have a break from each other.

Oh yeah?

Takako has to make her own friends.

Dazzling! Takko-chan is dazzling!

Right. Dazzling!

I am dazzled!

-Takako lost weight, right? -Yes, she did.

-Do you know why? -No I don't. Why?

I hid a candy container on the shelf.

She tried to get the candy, and she climbed on the stepladder.

That stepladder broke because she was too heavy.

Eh~~. Really?

That's why she decided to lose weight.

I see.

-What? -Kiyo-san is talking about me.

Annoying, Kiyo-san is...

What happened?

Takako is talking about me.

-You two are close, Kiyo-san. -Right.

Yeah.

Mitsuo's wife, Yoneko, is cute and a good kid.

Yes.

We have 2 daughters in law as 2 more children.

This is a wonderful thing.

After I gave a birth to my first son, Taro...

I gave a birth to my second son, Jiro.

He died within a week.

-That's right. -So...

When Mitsuo was born...

I didn't want to...

...pretend that my second son never existed.

So I named Mitsuo as the 3rd son.

So, that's all. I am done giving birth.

Then...

I have got 2 more daughters.

I am very happy.

They are both good kids. We are happy for you, Kiyo-san.

I am so happy. Happy for you, Kiyo-san.

Happy for you, Kiyo-san. Thank you.

Kimiko, how is Tokiko? Yeah, right.

She hasn't come back home, but she calls us sometimes.

Hello? Mom? Tokiko?

But when things are going well for her...

...she doesn't call us.

I think when she calls us...

...she is probably not doing well, or is having a tough time.

What do you talk about in that situation?

I don't ask anything about Tokiko.

I want to know, but I won't...

I talk about something about me or our village...

I would be the only one talking...

Like a silly story...

The stupid things her dad did today. Things like that.

Then, Tokiko would be laughing.

What is that?

She laughs, but...

I know she cries.

Give me a break.

We're gonna make pickled radish. Radish?

It is hard for him to find his wife.

-There is more story. -What? Do you have more?

Nothing has changed.

Then, we hang up.

I can't say anything.

I want her to work harder, but I can't say.

I already knew she works so hard. So, I can't say more.

I know.

Kimiko, you've grown up.

Thank you.

Huh? Have I grown up? How old do you think I am?

Well, we are the same age, so...1,2,3...

Stop. You don't need to count that!

Don't say that.

By the way, Mineko is working hard.

I am so glad she is happy.

I gave her so much burden...

I made her have a painful, hard time.

I hope she will be happier.

Someday, not sometime soon,

Mineko and Hide-san want to open their own restaurant.

Wow, I want to go there.

Yeah, we all want to go.

If that really happens, I am sure I will cry for joy.

Sure, I will.

You are already crying, now.

I am crying because I want...

It would be wonderful if I am happily crying for my children.

That would be the best tears as parents. Right!

They are so busy crying and laughing.

Yeah.

But it sounds good.

-I'm home. -I'm home.

On top of Neapolitan...

place a sausage...

This is for children? Yes.

I will make a proposal to Shogo-san. Yes!

Mineko. Yes?

Do you wanna have a drink just two of us?

Luxury?

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go.

Okay, let's go. Yes!

Please wait for me.

Yes. Yes.

It looks good on you.

-Really? Yes. I am happy.

Aiko-san!

I am glad to see you. Hello.

Ah~Good evening. Good evening.

Mineko-chan, that outfit is cute!

This is my mother's handmade.

Wow, It's very nice.

Please, Please

Are you okay? Aren't we intruding? Are you okay?

No, no.

May we? Please.

Please come here

The night is long and cold

Until dawn

Let's play guitar

Thank you for hard work.

Ah~, It was busy today. Yes.

Thank you, Mineko, for asking Yuka to help.

No... Sure.

It might be a good opportunity.

It might.

About future plans for Suzufuritei.

I think you are aware too.

I worry about Suzuko-san.

Do you understand?

I think work is becoming harder for her.

It is natural, of course.

So, I actually asked Aiko to quit her job and help our restaurant.

In order to take over from Suzuko's job to Aiko gradually.

Huh? What's wrong?

Ah! Eh?

Mineko-san, You thought that was true.

Eh?

I won't be a good help at all...

It is better not having her around. We can't rely on her.

You thought that is true?

Mineko-san, isn't that right?

No, but...

Eh? It is not true? Terrible.

Did you think I am that bad? Eh?

Were you acting?

Yes.

Eh!?

Eh!?

Excuse me. Please...

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I can never retire.

I am sorry.

You are good actress.

Right?

Eh? What do you mean?

But why? Why did you have to act?

Aiko says we shouldn't do that.

For Suzuko-san, working at our restaurant is...

...her reason to live, her pride and her life itself.

I can't take that from her. Never.

She would go crazy.

Of course, I will never be able to do like Suzuko-san.

But, if she thought it is fine without her...

...it's not good.

I don't want her to feel that way.

I think so. Is it strange?

No.

I understand that, too.

In reality, it's truly harder for her.

Well, we haven't reached a conclusion, yet.

I guess it's still okay as it is.

Yes.

What's wrong, Mineko-san?

Just...

Just...That...That...

Ah~, Let's have another one.

How about you, Kuniko?

Oh, thank you.

Huh? Eh?

I will make one.

Thank you~.

Thank you, Aiko-san.

But, I think Suzuko-san notices...

...I am acting.

Eh!?

Really?

Eh!?

I think so.

I can't compete with Suzuko-san.

That's true.

Thank you, Aiko-chan.

Well...

I should go to bed so I can work hard tomorrow.

Okay.

Ah~ What's this? What's this? What's this? Not fair~.

Yes. Yes. Sit. Sit. Let's drink. Let's drink.

Is it okay? Sit. Sit.

Yay!

What? Something and water? Yes.

Water and water. What is water and water?

Can I have whiskey and water, please?

Sure. Okay.

Dad and Mom,

People in Akasaka are kind and warm.

I am deeply moved. I feel I have grown up.

See you tomorrow!
