Yes. Congratulations.

You got the "this is the last time" award.

What's that? You look too serious.

This might be last time for you to do this...

...after you become a singer. I know you can!

You overestimate me. I don't even have a song ready.

Is that so?

Congratulations! You got the "you don't have talent" award.

Yes, next!

Yasuharu~, wish me good luck.

We need the 4th prize.

No, no, Akane. I can't give you what you want.

Go ahead. Please draw. Good luck!

Ah~, here you are.

"Good luck with next year!"

YasuhaRu!

Ha~, YasuhaRU!

What's that?

Humph!

Uwahhh!

Ouch!

Is Hide-san not buying one?

...an electric shaver.

It is a luxury.

But ... it looks cool.

Bzzzzzzzz~. Bzzzzzzzz~.

I want to win...

...the electric shaver.

What? Mineko, you look scary.

Wish me good luck.

Please draw.

Ah~~~

I don't have good luck with lotteries.

Here, the "I don't have good luck with lotteries" prize. Eh?

Please Aiko-san.

Here.

Oh~!

Eh? Eh? Eh?

Congratulations~!

Aiko-san! Eh? What should I do?

What did I win? You got a pair of tickets for Atami hot springs!

Congratulations!

Wow! It's great, Aiko-san!

Atami sounds great!

Aiko-san, Congratulations!!

｢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.

Hello~!

Eh? What happened? Any trouble?

Aiko-san won a pair tickets for an Atami trip.

Eh? That's great!

Eh? Why do they seem down?

But Aiko-san says, "I don't want to go."

Eh? She doesn't wanna go to Atami with my dad?

What? Are they going through a rough period?

Harrumph

Why don't you want to go, Aiko-chan?

You two never went on a honeymoon.

Thank you very much, but I don't want to go!

So what don't you like?

I don't want to go just the two of us.

Eh?

What are you gonna do? It will be wasted.

I will go.

Eh? Huh?

I want to go as a family.

Ehh~.

Ah~.

I want to travel with the 4 of us, including Suzuko-san and Yuka-chan.

Eh?

I have never gone on a family trip.

So, I want to go as a family.

I won the prize just for 2 people, but...

...you might think it is a luxury...

We can pay for 2 more people, so we can all go together.

Hot springs might be good for Suzuko-san's back.

What is that?

You should have told us that at the beginning.

Really, you are...

Well...

Why don't we go?

Right? Eh~!?

Right. Let's go!

Right, Yuka?

I'm not good at this kind of unexpected drama.

I'm sorry.

Yes. Please have fun.

Mineko and I are going to Okuibaraki.

Eh?

We went only once for the New Year. I want to see Okuibaraki in the Fall.

I see.

Ah, where's Genji?

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Eh?

Congratulations~.

You won the 3rd prize, the electric shaver. Eh!

Bzzzzzzzz.

Yes. Next! Bzzzzzzzz~

Oh! The Yatabes have a phone now.

People put a cover on the phone. Susumu! Huh?

Rock, paper, scissors! Ah~!

No~!

Hello, this is Yatabe.

Eh? Ah! Oneechan?

Yes. Really?

Eh! When? When? Is Oneechan coming back?

Hello? Hello? Oh? yes!

By the way, something happened at Akane-zaka.

You are a CEO at such a young age.

What kind of experiences led you to succeed?

Oh?

I learned the most when I lived in an apartment where...

...I commuted to my University.

Well, it was very old and almost broken down.

Like a haunted house. A haunted house? Yes.

The owner of the building looked like a ghost...

No, I mean she is very nice and kind. Ah~.

I learned some important things.

There are people with many different backgrounds.

They are each unique in their own style.

They are different, but they are also right in their way.

You're a wonderful person.

I'm glad I fell in love with someone like you.

My experiences in that apartment were my beginning.

When I think about something like an idea or...

...I wonder, "What would the people at the apartment think?"

That is beneficial for the company, I believe. I see.

I am glad.

Whoever lives this in apartment becomes happy.

It's nice in Ibaraki in the Fall. Yes, isn't it?

Kotaro-san, he said "it's nice."

Oh, good.

Ah!

Chiyoko~!

Susumu~!

Oneechan~!

Hide-san~!

Chyoko, you've grown taller.

Yes.

Susumu is...

Why are you quiet?

I have grown 1.3 cm since the new year.

1.3cm! Is that so?

They are rude. Right?

That's okay. You don't need to be so big.

You won't be cute. Huh?

Right. I will be upset when you're taller than me.

Right. Right.

You'll be taller that them soon. Right.

I don't like that. No.

Grandpa!

Dad! Mom! We are home!

It has been a while. Oh~, welcome back!

Mineko~! Welcome back.

Hey, Hide.

After you put down your luggage, come here.

Yes! Ah, Hide-san, your luggage.

Ah, Thank you. Thank you. Sure.

Do you want me to carry? No, I'm okay.

It is very important to make good soil for rice farming.

Make soil? Yes.

Dad, are you done? I want to show him over there.

I will explain my part. I am not done.

Huh? I haven't talked about watering.

Huh? Watering is...

Hey~~!

Whoo~~! Yahoo~~~!

Ah! Hide-chan! Hello~!

Hey!

He is always cheerful.

Ehhh~!

What? Why are you surprised? No, no, no.

I just asked you which university you are going to?

Ibaraki University?

Right.

Then, you said...

I'm not going to a university.

I will get a job. I already told Sensei.

Eh? Eh~!

Is it true? Yes.

Eh? Dad...

This is the first we've heard of it.

Yeah.

I thought Chiyoko is gonna be the first person...

...to go to university around this area.

Right? Yeah. Chiyoko is very smart.

Girls are gonna go university nowadays.

I thought so, too.

Chiyoko has studied so hard.

Yeah, it will be a waste.

Um... let's hear her opinion.

I just assumed Chiyoko is smart, so she will attend university.

I thought she wants to go.

But, her feelings are most important.

Chiyoko. Huh? Come here.

Eh? Come here.

Here.

Please explain yourself to everyone.

I've decided based on comprehensive and realistic perspectives.

Comprehensive and realistic?

Yes. I am a realist.

Realist?

Well then...

Let's talk about the big picture.

Cities and the countryside are in a period of rapid economic growth.

In other words, Tokyo and Ibaraki must plan for future problems...

...including Japanese agriculture and rice farming.

Moreover, considering the current situation and the future plans of the Yatabe family...

I've decided based on comprehensive and realistic points of view.

Do you understand?

Does everyone understand?

Is it only me who doesn't?

Chiyoko, can you explain in detail?

Got it.

The Yatabes are better off financially than before.

But we are not sure we have a bright future.

Now, Grandpa is well and working hard...

...but (sorry I need to say this) he won't always be well.

Yes...

Our flower business is doing well, but we don't know how long it will last.

Well, what we need the most is...

...steady and stable income.

So, after I graduate from high school...

...I will go to work from here.

So, we can have the income.

On the weekends, or in the morning or evening...

...I can help Mom.

This is the best solution.

Susumu is stil a kid, and he won't be able to help us yet.

Meanwhile, I should be the one to provide support.

Susumu hasn't grown taller.

My height is nothing to do with it. Right?

Well, please do not worry about me.

I am not saying I will live like this for good.

I will get married and leave this home.

I am saying until then.

By then, Susumu will be a grown man able to help the family.

Until then. That's all.

This is the reason.

Wow~

You are great, Chiyoko.

Chiyoko is filial.

I thought so.

Isn't that right?

Right.

Thank you very much, Chiyoko.

But it is too early for filial duty to me.

Eh?

I ... I am sorry.

I don't remember when I became a parent...

...when Mineko, Chiyoko, and Susumu were born.

I can't remember.

It's Mineko.

Dad.

Please don't say you don't remember.

I am sorry.

So, I don't become a parent naturally.

I came home to be your dad, and...

...Miyoko's husband, and...

...the son of Grandpa.

I decided by myself.

I wanted to be.

I chose to come back here.

I like you all.

I like everyone as a person.

But I don't have a history as a parent.

I chose to be your dad just for 2 years.

It's too early to repay me with filial duty.

That's why, Chiyoko...

...you have to cause me more troubles.

I want to experience more as a parent.

You don't need to fulfill filial duty now.

Just stay a kid for a little bit.

You wanted to work in the field...

...but you had to go to work in Tokyo to get steady income.

Welcome back, Dad.

You had to be a migrant worker.

I can carry you. Oh~, you two got big!

You were robbed and injured.

Please give it back.

That's why.... Chiyoko!

I don't remember.

Minoru.

Dad, do that to me, too.

Okay, Okay.

Me, too. Susumu, too?

Hide, come here. Hide.

Oh, Hide-san, too. Hide-san, too?

Here.

Messy!

It's amazing.

How interesting people are!

You all rock!!

Well, let's make a very delicious dinner.

Please help me.

Yes.

Shige-chan, too!

Actually, we... Yes?

...have katsusands from Suzufuri-tei!

Eh? Katsusand! Yay!

Hide-san made them.

Ah~~! Yay~~~!

Yes. It's so good.

I never get enough.

So good. Yeah, so good!

Ah?

Kimiko! Hello, sorry to bother you.

Please come in. come in.

Mineko~! Yes. It's Mineko~.

Good evening. Hide-chan. Hello.

Ah? Kimiko. Were you crying?

Eh? Can you tell? Of course, I can tell.

I'm sorry to interrupt your family reunion. That's okay.

We felt depressed just being 3 of us.

Mineko came home, so let's go see her.

Yeah. Yeah.

We bought these in the city. What is that?

Look at this. Here...

Ah! Tokiko! Yes.

Actress, Makoto Izumi knocks out that famous actor!?

Eh~~?

Young actress, Makoto Izumi was at the film studio...

Kyosuke Ebihara as Kyo-sama pointed out her Ibaraki accent.

She got upset and hit him. Then, she left the scene.

Will she be all right as an actress?

The show business community does not tolerate behavior like this.

Ah~, is she okay?

What should I do?

I have to do something.

Huh?

Huh?

Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh?

Do you still have some feelings for her?

Of course. Huh?

Ah. No. No. That's not what I meant.

Oh~.

Oh~.

At least at least in your heart...

Oh~! No, no, no. Oh~.

Oh~. I'm sorry.

Oh~. No, no, no.

I'm the one who doesn't want.

No, ah, ah, ... I'm sorry.

I understand.

Eh?

I'm home.

Mom~!

Dad~, Oniichan~.

What is this?

I came home.

Why is nobody home?

Ah~!

Ah~, Tokiko...

Shoji-san, Toyosaku.

Why did you buy so many tabloid magazines?

When we saw it at a book store, we didn't want anyone to see it.

Right?

We bought everything at all the bookstores in the city.

When I thought about Tokiko's feelings...

...it made me cry.

Tokiko will be fine. Thank you.

Tokiko...

Tokiko!?

Ohh.

Tokiko~!

How did you get mud on you?

Don't ask.

Eh?

How come Mineko is here?

I thought I don't have Ibaraki accent.

It is not only Ibaraki, but also the North Kanto region dialect...

it is difficult to speak without an accent.

It's not like the words are different,

more like, pronunciation or intonation are different.

I didn't realize I was speaking with an accent.

Ah~, I see.

My manager doesn't like me talking to my mom on the phone.

Ehh?

Because, after I talk with you in Ibaraki dialect...

...I still have the Ibaraki accent the next day.

Ah...

So, he told me not even to visit my home town.

That's wrong, isn't it?

My co-star in the film... I don't like him very much.

He started laughing during filming.

He laughed at me for my accent.

People started laughing at me.

Without thinking, I...

you hit him?

No. I just pushed him a bit.

Then, he fell down on purpose.

Ah~

He made a fuss, "Let's stop filming."

"Okay. Fine," I said and left.

Okay, I've decided.

Huh? What did you decide?

From today...

No, from this moment...

I won't speak with an accent.

Huh? Huh?

I think something is off. That's okay.

So that we can talk on the phone.

And Tokiko can visit us too. Isn't that right?

You are speaking with accent.

Where?

Where? Everywhere.

Everything? Okay.

I see you need support.

I will do that too. Miyoko~!

Right. I will do that too.

Minoru-san. ndana.

ndana is not good, Father

Oh, is it?

Okay. I will do that too. Yes.

ndana. Let's try with everyone. yappe

You have accent.

Huh?

Where is that is?

You don't have an accent, but it's strange.

Shige-chan .... Alright! Let's do it with everyone.

With everyone. Ndana

with everyone. na?

Hello~! Hello~! Hello~!

I heard Mineko is here. Ohh, Tokiko, too.

You two don't have the right to vote in this village.

When can I be the head of this village?

Jiro.

Huh? What is it, Grandpa?

Ah, we've decided to not speak with Ibaraki accent as of today.

Ah, you have the accent, Hide-san.

Eh?

I can't talk with the accent?

You have a face that has an accent. .

Fa ... face?

What do you mean by that, Grandpa?

Tokiko~

You had a rough time. Yeah.

We will support you. Don't worry.

nda, nda nda, nda.

Well then, See you all tomorrow!

Ah!
