"It shows that if you keep on loving the one you love, keep on loving, keep on loving ... someday you can surely meet him again." "You are that man." "Hah?" "You are the man whom I keep on loving." "It's been a long time, isn't it, Yu-san...." "Yu-san?" "Your name is actually Oikawa Yuichi." "Oikawa Yuichi?" "You are my husband." "I'm very happy I can meet you again." "This is really like a dream." "Wa...wait...." "You aren't joking, are you?" "As I heard, you don't remember anything at all, do you?" "From now on...even if it will take a long time..." "Let's make an effort together to make your memory return." "Please don't make such a facial expression... you look as if you've seen a monster." "No..." "You can sit down again..." "Yu-san, you were born in Mejiro, Tokyo..." "(= usually wealthy families in the past, politicians) and were raised in Kojimachi." "Your father..." "As expected, Okusan's omelette is very delicious!" "I'm impressed!" "That's true!" "Even in eating places in Tokyo, it's rare to find one as delicious as this!" "I bet even Izumi cannot make it as delicious as Okusan's, right?" "Yes." "Shall I make some more omelette?" "No, it's OK." " Shachou, there's a snake over there." " Really?" "No wonder of Dynamite!" "He's smartened up now!" " Shaochou, there's a whale over there." " A whale?" "Give it to me." "Thank you for the meal." "Father, you shouldn't have believed his tricks until now!" "This is really delicious!" " Good morning." " Good morning." "Suzu-chan!" "Sorry for coming here so early in the morning." "It's OK." "This is Yu-san's... umm...." "Taro-san's favorite food in the past, "Iburigakko" pickles...." "I brought it with me here because my parents sent it to me from my hometown." "I wish he would eat it." "Please share it with the others too, if they like." "This is the taste of my hometown." "Hai." "Thank you." "I wonder if Taro-san up is already..." "Is he eating breakfast together with the others?" "Hai." "Shall I call him here?" "No, no, it's OK." "Later I will visit the movie theater again." "Bye!" "Miwako-san brought this with her, saying that it was Taro-chan's favorite pickles in the past." "Really?" "Mother, may I have a second?" "Yes you have to eat a lot." "I'm eating for the sake of this baby." "Yes, you have to eat well." "Mm....so you like this taste in the past..." "Let me try one too...." "Eh?" "It's delicious!" "Wow, Taro-kun's wife is quite something too, isn't she?" "Psst!" "Izumi." "Thank you." "Taro-chan, don't you want to eat it?" "Yes...umm..." "No, I'm full already." "Than k you for the meals." "Alright!" "Today I'm going to work in full spirit again!" "Oh, really..." "As to Taro-kun's father... he lived in Tokyo, but... originally he was from Kochi, and was my best friend since we were students." "This is for you..." "Thank you." "And then, what about Taro's parents?" "They died in the air raids." "I told Yu-san about it through a letter." "Does he have any siblings?" "He has a younger brother, but... they said that he died in the battle in Manchuria." "So Taro-kun is now alone in the world..." "Well...yes." "For these 10 years, Taro has been our employee, working as our projection mechanic." "So he works for the Kishida family and lives here too?" "Yes." "His father was a member of the Municipal Assembly in Tokyo." "Was he a politician?" "As to Miwako's father.... he is a member of the Prefectural Assembly and through Taro-kun's father," "I and Miwako's father is the best of friends now." "So their families as such elite families..." "They were already betrothed to each other since they were small." "(= common in elite families)" "Could it be that Taro-kun is an elite intellectual?" "He's not a usual intellectual." "He was a student of Tokyo Teidai, you know!" "(=now Tokyo University or Todai, most elite in Japan)" "TOKYO TEIDAI?" "It must be a lie, right?" "It's impossible that Taro is from Tokyo Teidai!" "It's true!" "It's me who can't believe it when I saw Yu-san now!" "He is really a man on whom his family and his surrounding people put a lot of hope in the future." "If you excuse me saying it.... he that is here now...is not his natural self." "Taro-san..." "Wo, James!" "Are you alright?" "Why, why...why do you have to look so down?" "Is it... something good for Taro-san?" "Well, she suddenly said she was my wife, even so, I can't feel that way." "I have no idea whether it is a good thing or not." "Even after talking with Miwako-san, didn't you remember anything at all?" "No, nothing at all." "Completely nothing at all." "I see." "It's laughable though..." "I was a brilliant student from Todai?" "(= Tokyo University)" "But yes you have signs of being such a person." "Eh?" "I think you did speak English before." "See you tomorrow!" "What are we going to do meeting you tomorrow?" "Good bye!" "It's "Good luck"!" "Ah, for such simple expressions, I could have caught them from English-speaking movies." "Konnichiwa." "I am sorry for entering here without asking first." "It's OK." "What is it?" "I'm thinking of having a talk with Yu-san..." "But I also think I shouldn't have hindered you while at work..." "This evening...there is this bar I've been to." "The owner is called Merry-san, isn't she?" "..." "Do you mind drinking with me there?" "Ah.. but..." "With an Akita beauty pouring the wine for you..." "I'm thinking of us having a nice chat with each other." "You don't remember anything..." "how can you chat with me...." "Oh, so silly of me to refer to myself as an Akita beauty!" " You too, say something!" " Ouch!" "Ah right!" "Because I have nothing else to do in this town, and as I'm the type who can't just sit still..." "I asked for a job in the drinking place next door.." " I work in that place now." " Eh?" "I'll give you a nice service, please come to my shop in the daytime when you are free." "On no..." "I don't know whether now I'm doing business or trying to make you remember me...." "You laughed!" "Yu-san's laughing face has not changed." "Each time I saw your laughing face, my heart always gets flustered...." "I..." "Oh no...." "I feel embarrassed now!" "I'm embarrassed so I'll come again later!" "Bye!" "Bye!" "Wait...." "So powerful!" "She's an interesting woman, isn't she?" "Suppose Miwako-san is really your wife... what made you fall in love with her, in the first place?" "Couldn't they be making a mistake?" "Yes, after I heard Oyabun-san's story, I also feel that way." "Why?" "That man Yuichi is a brilliant student of Todai, right?" "The possibility of Taro-kun being a higher intellectual than me is impossible, right?" "I think it's probable that Taro is more of an intellectual than Shinkichi-san." "Hehhh?" "Didn't they say that in this world, there are 3 persons having the same face, did they?" "Miwako-san might be making a mistake!" "Perhaps it's because she wanted to believe that her husband wasn't dead yet." "But what can we do if they keep insisting that he's her husband?" "Isn't there any proof?" "Proof?" "The proof that Taro-kun and Miwako-san were husband and wife." "Right!" "Right!" "What, what?" "Thank you for the meal!" "Oi, Suzu!" " Suzu!" "That's bad manner!" " Suzu-chan?" "Haaaa..." "She's really a fast-eating mountain monkey!" "Yessssssss!" "Welcome." "Suzu-chan, good evening!" "Good evening!" "What's wrong, Suzu?" "You look so serious." "I came to ascertain something." "What about?" "Whether Miwako-san... whether Miwako-san is really someone who knows Taro-chan in the past or not." "I came to ascertain that." "Matsushima, ah Matsushima, Matsushima..." "Who recited this lyrics?" "(= right answer: it's by Tawarabo, post-Edo period)" "It's you reciting it, isn't it?" "No!" "The person who originally recited this lyrics!" " It means the person who composed this lyrics!" " Ah, I know, I know!" "Hai, Taro-kun!" " Sabako-san!" " Huh?" "Because Sabako-san's surname is Matsushima." "Stupid!" "Stupid!" "What?" "Mother, mother, he's stupid, as I thought, this man is stupid." " He couldn't be an intel..." " Who's stupid?" "Kora, Sensei!" "Who's stupid?" "Good evening!" "Suzu-chan!" "Miwako-san..." " I have a little something I want to ask you.." " What about?" "What is it?" "I don't care being stupid!" "Sensei!" "Your hair is growing thinner!" "Please don't say it!" "I'm impressed!" "Utahime (The Diva)" "Episode 8" " Here you are." " Thank you." "What kind of interests did Taro-chan have in the past?" "Hmmm..." "He was good at judo." "Judo?" "Since he was small, he went to a judo school and was quite strong." "He held a black belt in rank." "I heard that even now Yu-san is good at fighting too." "Well...yes..." "Taro-san loves to fight, you know!" "But in the past he didn't like to fight!" "His character was always very calm and peaceful." "I wonder if wars change people." "What about music?" "Oh, he loved music." "Eh?" "Yu-san was good at singing too." "Then, did he play any instrument?" "He was good at playing the guitar." "He often sang foreign songs with his guitar." "Everybody in the whole cell block" "Once he heard a song, he could immediately play it." "He must have inherited it from his mother, who graduated from a Music Academy." "But I never saw Taro playing a guitar." "Has he forgotten that too?" "What a pity..." "Ah!" "This!" "This is Yu-san's portrait before going to the war." "This portrait!" "Wow, Taro-san's so young!" "His skin so smooth and bright too!" "This portrait is my treasure." "Suzu!" "Taro-chan!" "Kora!" "Let's go home!" "Eh?" "You'll catch a cold!" "Come on, let's go!" "Didn't you come here to drink?" "No, I came to pick you up!" "Let's go!" "Come on, Suzu!" "Suzu already has a man she's in love with." "It's true that he's stupid, wild and careless but he's also gentle." "Taro-chan was really a very outstanding person, it seems, right?" "Eh?" "You were brilliant, ...good at judo, ...talented in music, and you must have excellent manners too." "But it's not certain yet whether he was really me or not." "It's certain." "This is already ascertained." "If anything, the more I listened to her story... the more I feel that Taro-chan's mysterious parts are getting gradually solved." "She has with her..." "Taro-chan's past portrait." "Miwako-san has it." "You looked very handsome, didn't you?" "So it was not a mistake?" "Yes, it seems it's not a mistake." "Really?" "Thinking about it...how can one mistake one's own husband?" "I wonder what Taro is thinking..." "Rather than working and living in such a shabby movie theater like this... perhaps he thinks it's better to live in Tokyo...." "There, he can eat more delicious foods as much as he likes too...." "Hamako...." "OK, I'll go to bed early...." "I'm so tired..." "I'm not going to help you prepare your mattress, OK?" "Ah....really!" "Sabako-san....." "does Yu-san have a girlfriend now?" "Dunno!" "Never saw it!" "Really?" "What about Suzu-chan who lives in Orion Star with him?" "Is there nothing between them?" "Dunno!" "I'm absolutely not interested in such thing!" "I can serve as Miwako-san's attendant... if it's better for me to be in Tosa Shimizu, I'll immediately go rightaway to Tosa Shimizu!" "No, for now, you don't have to." "If those two are unmistakenly husband and wife, deeeeeeeeeeeeply considering about it, it won't do if Shimanto Taro doesn't return to Tokyo!" "Matsu..." "Rather than worrying about other people, you had better think about your own future." "About my own future?" "Hisamatsu!" "After my duty in Abashiri ended, I returned safely here now." "Haaa..." "That's a hard work you did." "Oyabun..." "Is it true that you're going to disperse our family?" "Yes, that's what I intend to do." "In that case, to serve what purpose do I have to... spend such a long time in prison?" "Huah!" "Look!" "It's spinning well!" "Taro!" "Taro!" "Concerning the new film next time..." "Oh, it will be this weekend, right?" "I'm thinking of asking Shinkichi-kun to pick it up." "Why?" "Umm..." "I feel bad doing nothing here... so I'm thinking of helping everyone too." "Eh?" "Do you have reservation now?" "Huh?" "Do you have reservation in asking me now?" "No, no...it isn't so, it isn't!" "Really..." "Sensei," "Taro-kun, wait..." "I wonder if we have hurt his feelings?" "When you go to Nakamura for the next film change, may I go with you?" "Sure, I don't mind." "We didn't manage to go shopping together the other day..." "Yes, I couldn't talk properly with you either." "Taro-chan!" "Wo!" "Is it time for lunch already?" "Mm!" "Ah, about the new film next time..." "Mm, I heard about it." "It seems that Onisan will go to pick it up." "Hmmm..." "I think I'd better be the one to go..." "Then will you go with me too?" "Perhaps it's better if I don't go." "I don't know either what I should do now..." "This is a famous Akita specialty!" "It will warm up your bodies!" "Eat it, eat it!" "So you use them directly for the shop?" "It looks so delicious!" "Eat it, eat it." "Geruman-san..." "Delicious, delicious!" "This is very good!" "Suzu-chan and Yu-san are close to each other, aren't they?" "Well, yes..." "Are they...." "lovers?" "No, they're not!" "They're like siblings!" "But isn't it Yu-san whom Suzu-chan is in love with?" "Yes." "James!" "Suzu-chan is in love with Taro-san!" "Everyone supports Suzu-san's love!" "Konnichiwa." "Hi..." "Suzu-chan..." "Is Yu-san in the film room?" "The show is over already." "I think he's going down soon." "I don't know anything, but.... for me he is a precious person...." "Yu-san." "Miwako-san..." "Hai?" "Perhaps you have misunderstood, but... there's nothing between Taro-chan and me." "Eh?" "Well, it's like a close relationship between family members." "In that sense, I'll miss him if he goes away...." "Besides..." "For Taro-chan's sake.... it is important to talk properly about it." "If he can really regain the memory of his old self and his life in the past," "I think it's something he would wish for." "Furthermore, Miwako-san has especially come here from Tokyo for this purpose...." "Please talk with him, until you feel satisfied." "Excuse me." "She really..." "She really..." "loves Yu-san." "What a weird face." "What a weird face!" "Ano... have you seen it before?" "This..." "I had it with me when I was saved by Shachou..." "It was sewn on the inside of my kamikaze uniform." "This... this is my first present for Yu-san." "On your 20th birthday," "I bought it for you." "So you kept it with you all this while...." "This....this brooch... you gave it to me.... on my 20th birthday." "May I.... ask for one thing?" "Mm!" "Ask me whatever you like to ask... because I know everything about Yu-san." "Did I also.... have a dream?" "Your dream was... to succeed your father as a politician." "I.... a politician?" "Everybody was really putting their hopes on you, you know." "Did I also love movies?" "Rather than movies, you love to read books." "Am I really that person called Oikawa Yuichi?" "Taro-san, good evening!" "Wo, Rossia!" "From tomorrow, I will start working in the fishery line... so I'll go home after I finish this, OK?" "Oh, so you're going to work for Geruman?" "Although Geruman's eyes are far apart, he's a good person." "Hora!" "You must not speak that way about the person who'll be taking care of you." "Merry, don't get mad, please." "But I worry whether I can get up so early...." "Rossia!" "What, Taro-san?" "Didn't you feel afraid coming here while you only knew Merry one person?" "Yes, I was worried alright... but there is Merry!" "What about the close friends you had before coming here?" "I felt sad to part with them, but..." "I was also looking forwards to having a new life with Merry." "Is that always so...?" "You won't know it unless you experience it." "See you, Taro-san!" "Did you have a talk with Miwako-san?" "Yes." "She told me about a lot of things, but..." "I can't perecive myself as that man..." "Really?" "in spite of the fact that I used to extremely want to know who I was in the past." "But when I came to know it..." "I'm at a loss ..." "I was looking for you, Shimanto!" "Why?" "What do you want?" "I came to declare a war with you!" "Huh?" "Eh?" "!" "Why?" "A toast for Shimanto Taro's past coming to light!" "Tsk!" "A second, please!" "Go back to Tokyo together with Miwako Ojousan!" "Huh?" "I'll responsibly be the one to make Suzu-san happy!" "Suzu-san is really bewildered by you, you know." "From now on I will change to become a strong man!" "Undoubtedly Suzu-san will change her mind and fall in love with me!" "The Yamanouchis Oyabun-san also said that he would close up shop." "Therefore you'll be a layman, right?" "(= non-yakuza)" "It's just that I'll be a real Mad Dog." "Huh?" "Hisamatsu Aniki is taking Oyabun's place and is managing the family now." "Hisamatsu Aniki?" "Hisamatsu Aniki is... a man among men who's served 5 years sentence of hard labor in Abashiri!" "Oyabun!" "These subordinates said that they would follow me if I manage this family." "Do as you like!" "In that case, Oyabun too... please exert yourself... to be the Prime Minister, even." "(= he's sarcastic)" "Don't oppose other people's choice of path." "Isn't opposing other people's path is the very job of the underworld?" "In case in order to be a politician you need money, please tell me." "I'll prepare it for you as much as you want!" "He's a big scoundrel!" "Do you intend to follow such a man?" "Of course!" "Thank you for your hard work!" "Ou!" "You're spirited!" "What's your name?" "I'm Croissant no Matsu." "I'm honored to meet you!" "You sound like an interesting man." "At least in spirit, no one can beat me!" "Together with Hisamatsu Aniki.... we'll be the #1 underworld in Japan:" ""Matsu-Matsu Pair" (LOLOLOLOL ^o^)" "With you, it's definitely impossible!" "I don't mind betting for that." "And then I'll make Suzu-san the wife of Japan's #1 man!" "Come on!" "I'll buy her anything she wants:" "precious gems, cars, fur coats..." "I'll let her live in as great luxuries as she likes!" "Are you really serious in wanting to marry Suzu?" "Of course!" "As for you, hurry return to Tokyo together with Miwako Ojousan!" "Wait..." "Between you and me... once we have exchanged fists and communicated through blood, right?" "before you sustain further injuries, get lost!" "OK!" "Merry-san!" "For my bill, this man will pay for me!" "Thanks!" "He's really messed up in his understanding." "However as usual, his passion towards Suzu is really something!" "But he should stop, as Suzu doesn't pay any heed to him." "Who knows?" "In love, the only thing that can invoke an impossible miracle is that great passion." "It can't be here..." "What should I do..." "Where is it?" "Suzu!" "What's wrong?" "Recently I'm worried about something." "What are you worried about?" "Did Taro-chan have a girlfriend before coming here?" "Eh?" "Of course he had!" "Heh?" "Did you really have a girlfriend?" "Taro-chan, did you have someone you like?" "But I don't remember anything, so I don't know." "Oh no!" "Really!" "Oh nooo!" "Yeah, if I had a girlfriend, I and Suzu can't get married." "What should I do?" "But even if your girlfriend shows up, I won't be defeated!" "But it's for Taro-chan to decide!" "What will Taro-chan do then?" "Eh?" "Which one will you choose?" "That girlfriend or me?" "Of course I'll choose you!" "Serious?" "Serious." "But when I grow up, there will be men who'll tell me that they like me." "What's that?" "Well, if you really want to marry me, I don't mind marrying you." "U shi-shi-shi-shi..." "Wuah!" "Salty!" "Smelly!" "What's this?" "Was this really my favorite food?" "I'm not Oikawa Yuichi." "I'm Shimanto Taro." "Sorry to make you wait!" "That Ojousan, for how long does she intend to stay here?" "No idea!" "If she intends to stay until his memory is back, then when will it be?" "Perhaps Round Face will stay here as she likes." "I have no choice but to let her stay until she is satisfied, no?" "Hey!" "Are you OK?" "!" "Izumi-san!" "Hang on!" "Breathe deeply and hang on!" "Shall I call the midwife?" "She won't deliver yet!" "After a while she'll calm down!" "Take deep breaths!" "Exhale....inhale...." "You'll be alright!" "Hang on!" " Thank you so much." " Don't mention it." "But it won't be long now until the delivery." "Yes, we have contacted the midwife and asked her to come here whenever the time comes." "Excuse me now." "Somehow Miwako-san seems to be familiar in coping with expecting woman." "Yu-san.." "Thank you very much." "Somehow I feel strange that Yu-san thanked me." "For me, Izumi is also one of my important family members." "Am I ... not one of your family members?" "To be honest..." "I only think of you as a total stranger." "I do not expect you to immediately remember me..." "I came here with that in mind." "I'll be waiting for you at Merry-san's place again this evening...." "Would you please come?" "I'll be waiting!" "What?" "What happened?" "I..." "I have to apologize to Taro-chan." "What for?" "I ...." "I ..." "I lost it." "What thing?" "What did you lose?" "The pearl necklace Taro-chan bought me for my birthday." "Eh?" "I have put it in a safe place..." "I'm really sorry!" "I'm really terrible!" "Terrible." "Come here with me!" "Suzu, come!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Don't cry anymore!" "Suzu." "Your mountain monkey face will look even uglier if you cry." "With that line I can't think of any taro-taro rin-rin-rin." "This necklace... is just a fake one." "I was cheated by Croissant." "I was thinking of buying a real one and then secretly exchange the two.... but you caught me..." "Ohh....." "So that's it.." "So that's what happened." "Sorry to have entered your room without permission." "I want this one." "Huh?" "I don't mind it is fake." "Are you concerned about my money?" "No, it's not that." "Then it's better to have a real one, isn't it?" "But this is the one Taro-chan gave me on my birthday, the one truly full of memory." "I prefer this one!" "Whew, I'm relieved." "I thought I have lost it!" "I'm really relieved." "Eh?" "No." "What is it?" "I told that Ojousan... that I only thought of her as a total stranger." "Eh?" "But it is really true...." "so I can't do anything about it, can I?" "Taro-chan.." "Hm?" "Would you please put it on me?" "Mm!"
