Let's eat.

Hide...

It's not bad.

Thank you very much.

They are very pretty, ...

as I expected, Minoru-san. Are they? Thank you.

I am confident a little bit.

Shige-chan, thank you.

Don't mention it.

I'm gonna put this here.

You all are lucky.

Riding this truck will take you to Tokyo

Huh... I haven't gone for long time.

I want to eat hayashi rice at Suzufuri-tei.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Please take care of them.

Have a safe trip. Okay. Leave it to me.

Let's take a break. Okay.

Dad, Let's take a break. Okay.

Huh? Huh?

Eh, he's gone. Huh? Huh?

Huh? Muneo-san? Eh?

What's happened? He did it.

It's like American New Cinema.

Born to be wild!

I was born to be a delinquent.

Is this what you mean, Muneo-san?

This is Rock!

Haruko-san. It's Jiro. Haruko-san~

Yahoo!! Isn't she Fujiko?

Either way's fine. Vote for me!

Yahoo! It's Jiro.

Wait for me, Mineko~!

Huh!?

What's wrong, Mineko?

Something...

Yahoo~~ Huh?

｢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.

A year after the Apollo 11 moon landing...

...Japan was still having rapid economic growth in 1970.

600 million people went to the Osaka World Expo.

Many cultures from the worldwide rushed into Japan.

Fast food started around this time.

Thank you very much.

Something was different. Yeah.

Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work.

What are you gonna do, Hide? Pachinko?

I won't go. Why not?

Hi, everyone.

How about going out back? It's a nice day.

Sounds good. Yes?

Mineko. Yes. Please order the Kashiwagi-do special.

I will treat everyone. Okay? Yes.

Yay. Yay!

Let's eat.

Wow, this is so good.

This is tasty. So good.

Thank you. You saved us.

We didn't have any sales today.

Right, Yasuharu?

Yeah.

You make me a little upset.

Oh well. Yes.

I wonder what's gonna happen.

We have to think about our store. Huh? What about it?

Eh? But Yasuharu will be a singer, right?

Ah, Is that so? Will Yasuharu be a singer?

But he is just thinking...

...about participating in a competition.

What do they call it?? Singing with a guitar.

Ah, spoon? It's folk.

It's not funny.

Don't laugh. He said "Spoon".

He would get carried away. That's right.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Ah, hey...

What happens if you win the competition?

I think I will make my debut.

Wow, A folk singer. You are cool, Yasuharu~.

Yasuharu, are you gonna abandon me and the store?

Don't jump to conclusions. It is too heavy.

I see. Kashiwagi-do will be closing. No, I...

Well, it can't be helped, right?

Eh?

We don't know what will happen in business.

What happened? That doesn't sound like Suzu-chan.

The existence of Japanese Western food has changed.

You mean the customer today.

Recently, many people have been saying things like that.

What? What did they say?

They ate Neapolitan and said, "This is not Italian food."

"It's different from one I had at the World Expo", right? Yes.

Then, what was your answer?

We don't serve Western food as it is.

We serve Japanese style Western food.

We arrange it to suit Japanese taste.

Oh? Suzuko-san told them.

They don't understand at all. Hide, that's not right.

If you think customers don't understand...

...you are finished as a chef.

Customers are free to enjoy their food as they wish.

Remember that, Hide.

Yes. I'm sorry.

Well, it is true that more people have started to say things like that.

It's a new age.

Yeah.

Ah, and those instant noodles.

Since they went on sale, our store hasn't sold much.

For kids nowadays, ramen means...

...instant ramen.

Who invented that?

Right! Show yourself! Show yourself!

People have more money. So...

...people can enjoy a different kinds of food and things.

That's not a bad thing.

It's a wonderful thing.

Right? Yes.

Yeah. Yes.

But I wonder whether we can survive if we keep doing the same thing.

Eh?

Wait. Please stop.

Let's cheer up, Suzuko-san!

Ah, yes. Yes.

What will happen to me if Suzufuri-tei is closed?

I won't be useful at any other place.

That's right., No Senpai isn't.

I was just kidding.

You all took it seriously.

Ah~, that's fine. Fine. Eh?

Ah~, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you.

I don't know what will happen. It's an incredibly good story...

...why I am so much in love with Suzufuri-tei!

I'm gonna tell you.

I don't know what will happen. You might fall in love with me.

What happened?

I...

...was a war orphan.

I don't know my parents' faces and lived in Ueno.

Eh?

One day...

Eh? The restaurant is closed.

Hello, Is anybody here?

Nobody's here? The restaurant is closed.

Ah! Oh!

Mineko! Muneo-san!

How are you? Ehh? Wait.

Ohh! Everyone is in the backyard. How are you?

Suzuko-san~. Yes.

Huh? What do we do now?

Eh? I'm left with an incomplete feeling.

I was about to wrap the world in great emotions.

Ohh, Please continue. Yes. Genji.

Go, Genji! Go! Genji, go!

And then...

...Well, something really terrible happened.

Nothing happened, idiot!

Ah~, I wanted to touch everyone's heart.

Is that right? But Genji..

...you are a chef. Yes.

You need to impress people with your food, not your story.

Huh? Why are you saying righteous things?

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Ah, Suddenly, I want to eat Hayashi rice at Suzufuri-tei.

Well.. lately, there are some Western food restaurants in Ibaraki.

But, I want to have it at Suzufuri-tei.

I'm glad to hear that. Yes.

Oh! here it comes.

Thank you for waiting.

Please enjoy. Thank you.

So good.

Wow, This is great.

Ah~.

It make us very happy.

This is really tasty. I will finish it quickly.

Hello. This is Suzufuri-tei.

Eh? Ah, yes.

Okay. Good bye.

Harrumph

Shigeko-san just called.

Oh, Eh? What? You didn't tell her and came here?

That's all right. Is she angry? It's fine. It's fine.

You... Yes, you...?

...don't need to come back home.

Eh?

Did she say that? Shigeko? Yes.

I am going home. Thank you for the food.

Ah... I lied. I lied. I lied! I lied!

She didn't say that. She said, "Please let him stay one night."

Mineko~! Eh? I am sorry. I am sorry.

What...? You are crying. Because...

Mineko, you overdid it a little bit.

I was shocked. My heart almost stopped!

Ah, something happened in Okuibaraki.

This is our first meeting about your career path in the 11th grade.

Yatabe is...

Oh, you have very good grades.

It is very different from your big sister.

Yes. You said, "Yes".

Mr. Tagami. Yes~?

I...

...

Eh? Please proceed with that. Thank you.

Please...

Huh? What did Chiyoko say?

Here, this is important.

Please remember that.

It is time to show you the situation of the two manga artists.

2 years ago, manga "Minekko" became a big hit!

Finally! Finally, they became major manga artists?

It was a such a short time.

They fell into a slump before reaching their peak.

Since then, they haven't had any big hit.

These two are small and young stars.

They don't know sad songs.

It was Keisuke and Yuji.

Let's do your best.

And then,

It is the reunion of the Otome dorm today.

Oh, am I in Heaven?

Have I died?

You idiot.

Ah~! Ah~!

Long time no see, everyone. Long time no see.

Asako-chan. Asako-chan.

No, you should greet me.

Yuko in Akita gave a birth to a girl.

Her name is Asako (Cherry blossom in Fall).

It means cosmos.

Right! It was the name of their room at Otome dorm.

She is so adorable. Are you all having lunch, right?

Can I babysit her meanwhile?

No, that would be too much to ask.

I love babies. Please?

Don't worry. She's not gonna eat you.

I am not a Namahage.

"Are there any crybabies around?"

Let's eat.

So good.

Sumiko's goat appeared.

Yuko-san, are you all right?

Hope you are not having any troubles.

Eh?

Ah~, I see. I am sorry.

All the sudden, you received my letter saying I want to see everyone.

Everyone must be worried about me.

Ah, no, it's not like that.

I really miss you all.

I couldn't stop thinking about it.

That's why I wrote that self-indulgent letter.

Yuko, Zashiki-warashi, ... became a mother.

Are you still saying that?

Nothing has changed.

We came back from Vienna.

I thought we would have a better life, but it didn't happen.

He undertakes jobs that don't make much money.

"I want to free Classic music from authorities".

That's wonderful.

Before that, he should try to make our lives better.

That's what I think.

Give me a break. Really.

This is not joke.

She loves him.

Stop!

Some time ago, he met...

...Watahiki-san (we went to the beach together).

What is the reason you needed to see me?

Something happened?

I wanted to return the money I owe.

I'm sorry. It took for so long.

Price for ramen

Because of this?

Yes.

No, no, no...

The transportation from Ibaraki is way more expensive than the ramen.

Don't worry. Huh?

How are you doing, Tokiko?

I saw you on TV, so I know you're working hard.

Yeah, you were in the movie too...

...that I went to see in a theater.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

I know I am asking too much, but I haven't improved much.

I always get offers with similar characters.

Bright, cheerful, modernized, cool, city girl with...

...a lot of experience in romance, and tall.

Well, being tall can't be helped.

Everything I do is the same. It's become boring.

It is so different from myself.

It is strange.

I wanted to be an actress because I can be someone different.

I don't have my own life at all.

I've never had a boyfriend.

The other day, I did my first kiss scene.

It was my first time.

I know I have to do that because I'm an actress.

I played a character who doesn't care about a kiss.

I couldn't do it well.

We had to retake it so many times.

I... I...

...thought, "What am I doing?"

I cried.

I...

Yes! I felt great venting now.

I will do my best.

Setsuko-san is in France now, right?

She's acting in a French movie. Isn't that amazing?

The French director recruited her directly.

That's unbelievable. Yes.

I admire her.

But, she seems to dislike going to foreign countries.

She brought a lot of umeboshi, seaweed, and furikake.

"I guess I can't bring natto."

Ah! Aiko-san!

Yes. What is it? Here...

I finally met him and got his autograph. Ah...

Yujiro Ishihara's autograph! Eh~~!?

I asked him to address, "Dear Aiko-san".

I told him you love him.

Ehhhhhh~~!

...and?

He asked me to tell you, "I love you too."

Kya~~!

Oh my... What am I gonna do? I'm married. Eh!?

What should I do? Aiko-san. What should I do?

That would be fine. Don't worry.

Ah, that's right. Yes.

Thank you. I'm so happy. Yes.

She doesn't smile.

I am very upset, seriously.

I work harder and harder...

People call me cocky because I am a woman.

They say, "You don't have an education."

They say, "You are like a kid."

People don't want me to work harder.

I am very angry at Japanese male dominated society.

It is rotten. It is rotten.

It's not good. We can't eat.

Yeah. Right.

I don't have any problems with work.

Soap industry ... Ah~.

Huh? What?

Ah, That. right. That. That.

That? Yes, That is.

Here... Ah~!

It's a new package.

CEO is working hard, and he listens to my opinion.

He is a good person.

But... my parents haven't changed. It is the worst.

Please give me a break.

Right? Yeah.

They try to trick me.

They think I am made of money.

Is that so?

But I am fine.

I vent to Toyoko. She gets very angry.

She told me to not to listen to my parents.

When I heard that, I became calm.

So, let's go to bed. Okay.

You two are like an old married couple.

Ehh~~?

You two are very close.

They will be surprised.

Then, who is next?

Mineko, how are you doing?

Yes. Yes. How is everything, Mineko-san?

I'm very happy.

I am glad to hear that.

Mineko, #4...

#4! The transistor was placed wrong side!

Please stop. I still jump when I hear #4.

#4! You placed a resistant wrong place

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Stop! Hey, #4!

Anyway, I'm very happy.

He is such a good person. Yes.

For some reason, I'm embarrassed. Why are you embarrassed?

About Hide-san,

I like him very much.

I understand him somehow.

I am sure I understand him the best in the world.

Hide-san and I, how do I put it,

...we both are subtle, not flashy...

...like regular people.

We are earnest.

People never said about us, funny, or weird, or you're troublesome.

He and I are kind of jealous of someone like that.

We're not amusing, so we have to make an effort...

...and...

...I like that about him.

So, so, I am very happy.

I understand Hide-san, and...

I'm sure Hide-san understands me, too.

That makes me very happy.

I am very comfortable living together.

Do you love him, Hide san?

Isn't that right, Mineko-san?

I love him.

I love him very much.

I love Hide-san!

Yes.

Eh?

Eh~. Wait! Really? No!

No, no, no, no, this is so embarrassing.

Wait ... everyone!

Who made me say it?

Toyoko!

She looks scary.

How about some desert?

Thank you! Thank you very much.

Mineko-san, you don't want it? then I will take yours.

Hey! What are you saying? I will have it.

Hello? It looks like we finished talking...

...but, I haven't talked at all. I'm sorry, Aiko san.

We don't have time.

Ah! Matsushita-san! Ah~!

Ah~!

Oh~.

Safety first!

Well then, safety first!
