"Kenji!" "Listen!" "Nanako?" "You came back from Tokyo, looking like a Japanese girl" "Every one's getting sick of your rough driving" "I can't drive like a woman." "They are all used to it anyway" "Sit down here, Nanako" "It's dangerous." "I could get pregnant" "Then we'll get married" "Sit down!" "You should listen to your fiancé" "I'm not your fiancée" "Don't get cross." "Time of the month?" "Shut up!" "You idiot!" "Oi!" "Watch it." "Back to your seat" "Is he from the island?" "Don't know" "That old chap looks real cool" "NABBIE'S LOVE" "That's Nanako's boat arriving" "Hurry up!" "That man must be from the island." "Don't you think?" "If he was, I'd recognise him" "Can we shag, if I check it?" "Shut up!" "Grandma, how are you?" "I'm very well" "You look beautiful, Nanako" "No doubt!" "Get on" "Come see me, Nanako" "Nanako, come have some" "They are really blooming" "She has started talking to them, as if they were her babies" "That's why they blossom so well" "How long are you staying?" "Don't know" "This is your home." "Stay as long as you want" "Has Dad said anything?" "No" "I've quit my job" "How come?" "Well..." " You're pregnant?" " What?" " Japanese baby?" " No way!" "Then, Kenji's baby?" "Grandpa, I'm not pregnant" "They are beautiful" "Yes, they are." "I told them you were coming home" "Ouch!" "You OK?" "Bougainvillea has thorns" "I'm OK" "Grandma, can I keep one pot?" "No." "You'll spoil it" "I won't." "I'll take care of it" "You won't be able to" "Let's go see the patriarch." "Come on." "Hurry up" "Our respectable ancestors..." "Nanako, the granddaughter of our south branch, Nabbie's family, ...has just come back from Japan" "May she stay well, while she is here" "Don't drink too much" "Today is the thirteenth day with the beautiful moon" "Everything is in love, trees, flowers, fish and frogs" "Why not us?" " Don't you agree, Misa?" " Yes, I do" "I fell in love with you... that spring when I was nineteen" "If you are going to leave me now... make me feel nineteen again" "Even a post card... can reach miles away" "We live on the same island... but can't reach each other" "No matter how much I think about you..." "You already have somebody" "I am not an innocent girl anymore..." "I am still stuck with the memories of my first love" "Nabbie, I'm going to feed the cows" "Bring me lunch at twelve thirty, will you?" "OK See you later" "Good morning, Grandma" "You OK?" "Got a hangover?" "That was nothing" "Are you not going with Grandpa to take care of the cows anymore?" "It's become hard, since my back started aching" "Grandpa says I can do it only when I feel well" "He's still in love with you, isn't he?" "You shouldn't make fun of an old woman" "Wow, he's still around?" "Yes." "Lately he's often invited to perform for celebrations" "Long time no see, aunt Reiko" "Hi, tomboy Nanako!" "Wow, you are pregnant?" "Yes." "It's a baby." "I'm not chubby" "Congratulations!" "Thank you." "I'm O'Connor" "Ouch!" "Too tight" "Congratulations." "Sorry" "He's strong, isn't he?" "Gentle heart and strong body" "Right, darling?" "I love you, Reiko" "I love you too" "Reiko, will you sing my favourite song?" "I thought I could stay... with you for ever" "I will never forget our farewell until my life ends" "What's the matter, Grandma?" "Where is he from?" "Mr. O'Connor?" "He's from I..." "I..."I-love-land"" "No, actually, it's "I-love-you-land" or something like that" ""I-love-you-land"?" " Ir..." "Ir..." "Oh!" "Ireland?" " That's it!" "He came from the far away I-love- you-land across the ocean after Reiko" "Wow, he's passionate" "I'd like to go to I-love-you-land as well" "Me too" "But I get seasickness and can't go so far" "Look, Nanako, I have something to do" "I'll see you later at home" "I'll come with you" "Never mind." "I won't be long" "You are getting married to Kenji, aren't you?" "What?" "Blood type A and O get along well" "Does big Kenji love big Nanako?" "Sure he does" "And you, big Nanako?" "None of your business" "You love him!" "You are blushing!" "Shut up!" "You stupid brats!" "Holy shit!" "Hey man, do you have a cigarette?" "Sorry?" "The thing you smoke" "Oh, here you are" "That's an expensive brand" "What?" "Are you sightseeing?" "Not really" "There's nothing on this island." "Only cows" "You get chicks with big tits on the next island" "I didn't come for that" "Then you are weird" "You should be quick with women" "What?" "Women never for get the first man" "You think so?" "Sure." "Got a light?" "Oh, sorry" "My wife can be a nag." "I can't smoke at home" "Sorry about that" "She's the best "churakagi" on the island, though" "I mean the most beautiful woman" "She used to have big tits too" "But small tits can be very nice as well" "Can they?" "Who's there?" "Is it you, Nabbie?" "Is it you, Sun Ra?" "You've been looking after my family tomb?" "Respectable ancestors, ...I left the island for a far away country called Brazil" "I couldn't come back for a long time" "I have no family here any longer" "Forgive me for letting our family die out" "Nabbie, we have a guest" "Nanako, where is she?" "I thought she was with you" "Well?" "I've seen you" " He's from Japan, called Fukutaro..." " No." "I'm Fukunosuke" "Sorry." "I've brought him because he likes you" "I've never said that" "Don't be shy" "He likes small tits" "Please..." "Anyway, come in" "I swear I've never said that" "Nice arse, isn't it?" "Stop it!" "She's blushing" "You see, she likes you" "There is Nanako doing the washing" "She has a cute round bottom" ""I have cute round tits too"" ""Please feel them." "I can't wait"" "For what?" ""Please feel them." "I can't wait"" "Nabbie!" "Where have you been?" "Well..." "let me do it, Nanako" "Nabbie, you know what time it is?" "Where have you been?" "Thanks, Fukunosuke." "He's always like this" "Not at all." "Thank you for dinner" "Nanako, wake up" "Show him the way" "I hope you can put up with this dirty hut" "Nanako, is that edible?" "That Guava?" "Yes" "Then let's eat" " Would you open your legs?" " What?" "A little higher" "OK I got it" "It's delicious!" "It's always been wonderful" "Absolutely" "Thank you for everything" "Good night" " Nabbie, I'm going to feed the cows" " I'm going with him" "Bring me lunch at twelve forty" "Good morning" "Where's Grandpa?" "He's gone to the farm with Fukunosuke" "Has he?" "Will you deliver lunch to the farm at twelve forty?" "Grandma, where are you going?" "I'll be back soon" "I know you are there." "Come out" "Listen, you are detectives, right?" "Follow Grandma, and let me know where she's going" "What for?" " No questions." "Just do it!" " What's the reward?" "All right." "I'll buy you ice cream" "Shhhh..." "Detectives work discreetly" "I'll be at the beach" "I know that you always take your nap here" "What can I do for you?" "Something is strange about Grandma" "You know anything?" "Don't know" "Oh, I got some information about that cool old chap" "He used to live on this island before the war" "How did you find out?" "Everybody's talking" "Kenji..." "You don't have to say "I love you"." "I know it" "You fool!" " Are you angry now?" " No, I'm not" " Let's get married, then" " Why should I?" " You got somebody in Japan?" " None of your business!" "Then, marry me" "I don't want to marry yet" "I'll make you happy with my dick." "Look at this" "You idiot!" "Big Nanako, please come!" "It's an emergency" "What is it?" "Nanako, wait!" " Tell me, what is it?" " Just come see" "Aaaaah!" "Shit!" "You fool, why are you walking here?" "What's the matter, Nanako?" "Shut up and move your arse!" "OK" "Sun Ra, I would be happy... if you could have this flower pot close to you from now on" "This flower must be the one I..." "I didn't come back to this island only to look after my family tomb" "I came back to keep the promise we made sixty years ago" "Sun Ra..." "Your scent..." "brings back old memories" "I've tried to forget you so desperately, ...but I just couldn't" "Don't tell anybody what you've just seen" "It's going to rain." "Let's get back" "You say you want to be nineteen again" "Look at the dead tree in the garden" "If the tree could have flowers again..." "Grilled fish could swim again" "Even if you are leaving me..." "I won't be sentimental about you" "When you are still young... don't regret and just look forward to tomorrow's flowers" "What's your guess?" "Is big Nanako going to choose big Kenji or that Japanese, Fukunosuke?" " Whoever does it first" " Does what?" "They must've done it already" "Fukunosuke has an advantage, cos he's at Nanako's." "Kenji's behind" "Tell me, what do they do?" "Nanako, what are you doing here?" "You should be at home" "Daddy, what are you doing here?" "Nabbie and you are giving me a headache" "Keiichi, why didn't you tell me that Sun Ra's back?" "Sorry, but I didn't have a clue" "Shit!" "You knew it all along, Nanako" "Don't know" "You fools should realise." "It's a big crisis in our family" "Our shaman, Tsuru, has arrived!" "Gods of the heaven, Gods of the island, ...and our ancestors" "I understand it very well" "We shall follow your words" "Gods of the heaven, Gods of the island, ...and our ancestors are all strongly against..." "Sun Ra staying on this island" "That's it!" "Let's kick him off the island" "Please wait" "I beg you don't" "It's not your place to decide, Nabbie" "What would you say, Keitatsu?" "What?" "Are you kidding with me?" "Sun Ra's come back to the island to pay his respects to his family tomb" "I swear I'll never see him again" "So please let him stay" "All right" "He may stay" "But remember, he's an evil force on the island" "Nobody should see him" "Even if you see him, don't look into his eyes" "Is that clear?" "Nabbie, if you run away with Sun Ra, ...your family will die out at once" "I know you have a backache" "That's your ancestors' fury" "You forget him, and you'll be better soon" "Thank you very much" "You are Nanako, aren't you?" "Remember you have been destined to marry Kenji... and your family will flourish" "But be careful, you have Nabbie's blood running inside you" "You could also ruin your family" "That damn hanky-panky shaman!" "I hate it here" "Damn!" "I've missed it" "Let me do it" "Wow, you are good" "I didn't know the moon could be so bright" "This is so great." "Oh, I love this island" "Should be grilled a little more" "No way!" "I haven't had a bite yet" "The moon is beautiful on the thirteenth night" "A girl is beautiful at seventeen" "Ho-i-cho-ga" "Seiko, you are so lovely" "It hurts" "Don't work too hard." "You'll hurt your back again" "Are you really selling her?" "I can get a good deal now" "But you loved her too" "Yes, I do." "But we need money" "Seiko, so long" "I'm afraid she'll get sick on the boat" "Nabbie, you'll hurt your back again." "Go home and rest" "Don't do anything." "Just have a rest" " How was Nabbie?" " She's asleep at home" "Good" " Can I have one?" " Sure" "You smoke?" "You are a girl" "Girls smoke these days" "Don't you mind if your wife is a sleepyhead, drinker, and smoker?" "Not at all" " No problem?" "OK?" " OK" "You are lucky, Nanako" "Start working on making a baby with Fukutaro" "I'm Fukunosuke" "Tell me, Grandpa..." "about Grandma and Sun Ra" "I knew it from the beginning..." "Nabbie had somebody before she married me" "And that was Sun Ra" ""NABBIE'S NINETEENTH SPRING - An Okinawan Sad Love Story"" "Before 1940, before the war... we were kids and used to peek at their rendezvous" "There was this atmosphere unknown to us... that made us excited" "Shortly afterwards, Nabbie became pregnant, ... but her family didn't approve of their relationship" "Also the shaman forbade their marriage" "And they were separated" "Our ancestors are furious about them" "Nabbie's family will die out, if she stays with him" "Sun Ra should be exiled from the island" "Can you untie the rope?" "No." "We'll be punished" "Go get the pot over there" "If you release me, I'll give you something" "But we'll be in trouble" "OK I'll do it" "Keitatsu, you'll be punished!" "Will you marry me, when I grow up?" "I will." "If you let me go now" "Sun Ra!" "Please take me with you" "I promise to come back for you" "Don't make me wait too long" "I thought I could stay with you for ever" "I will never forget our farewell" "Nabbie couldn't get off the island" "She also lost her baby" "Some years later I became her husband and joined her family" "I was very happy" "It's been sixty years since then..." "long, long ago" "Come here" "Let me show you something" "You just sit down here" "How is it?" "It's good, isn't it?" "I sold Seiko and bought this massage chair" "You... thank you very much" "Look, you can choose the best position with this" "It's good, isn't it" "I appreciate you've been working very hard with me for a long time" "I have to prepare dinner" "Never mind." "Nanako will do it" "You just stay here and rest" "Please don't do anything today" "Just relax and rest" "You are so kind." "I feel much better now" "Where are you going, Grandma?" "To the loo" "Don't follow me around like a small kid" "I want to pee too" "Grandma, can't you forget Sun Ra?" "Grandma?" "No, I can't" "How about Grandpa?" "Grandma?" "I like him very much" "Then what are you going to do?" "I can't forget Sun Ra, ...but I've lived with Grandpa for fifty years... and I am going to live with him for ever" "Promise?" "Promise" "Please don't just disappear" "I won't." "Don't be silly" "We are Pinocchio from Osaka." "We are Pinocchio from Osaka." "What an end-of-the-worldish place it is here!" " It's a wonderful place" " Yes." "I love this island" "You, liar!" "I have much to say about Aguni Island" " AGUNI ISLAND!" " You are just saying it out loud" "This is a traditional song of the island, the Munjuru song" "Cool, Fukunosuke!" "You look gorgeous!" "Kenji, kick him!" "Tackle him" "People are delighted with us back in Osaka, but not here" "No, not really" "Now here comes the idol of this island" "Nanako." "Please" "Good night" "Dear Sun Ra," "We once promised to live and die together, ...but we were forced to separate by our families, ... like one tree being torn apart" "For these long sixty years..." "I have struggled to forget you, ... but I just couldn't" "I thought I could never see you again in this world, ...but your warm heart kept our promise to become one again" "Your heart has brought back old memories.... and my heart is stirred" "When the northerly wind ceases and brings calmness to the sea, ...I am going to the West Beach" "Please take me away with you to wherever it might be" "When the wind ceases to blow ... I will be there waiting for you" "It's a beautiful day today" "The northerly wind has cleared the sky" "Yes, it has" "The sea will be calm as well today" "Nabbie, ask Nanako to bring me lunch today" "Are you sure?" "Nanako, bring me lunch today, will you?" "All right" "Nabbie, don't overwork." "Take care of yourself" "Thank you, and you too" "All right, I'm off" "Tell Nanako to bring me lunch at twelve" "Hello, Keitatsu" "Mr. Sun Ra, it's been sixty years" "You like fish, don't you?" "Have you been on the sea this morning?" "I hadn't been out to sea for a long time" "Nobody can beat you when it comes to fishing" "Keitatsu, I'm leaving the island" "Are you?" "I wish you all the best" "So long" "Our great Sun Ra... the world flourishes as you go" "You are the hope of women" "We ask you to take care of them" "Nanako, too much water can spoil the flowers" "Really?" "Keep that pot, Nanako" "Sure?" "Thank you." "I'll take care of it" "It's time to go to the farm" "Take care of Grandpa" "Is it that good?" "I tell you, it's addictive" "Good." "See you later" " Put that one over there" " This one's not ready yet" "Turn it over" "Where did you get the fish?" "I caught them from the sky" "What?" "Your lunch looks gorgeous today." "Can I try some?" "No way!" "Nanako's made yours" "But yours looks nicer" "Stop it!" "This is mine" "I know I'm not as good as Grandma" "How was Nabbie?" "She gave me a pot of Bougainvillea" "Did she?" "Anything wrong?" "Nothing" "What is it?" "No problem" "Tell me, what is it?" "It's about that Bougainvillea..." "What about it?" "He got exiled from the island and went to Brazil" " Who did?" " Sun Ra" "And?" "After 1945, after the war... an airmail arrived for Nabbie just once... without the sender's name" "I tried to see through it against the sunlight" "It seemed there was a kind of twig inside" "It was since then that Nabbie started keeping Bougainvillea" "I'm off!" "Have some fish" "Grandma?" "Where are you?" "Grandma!" " Have you seen Grandma?" " She's gone to the sea" "Let me borrow your bike" "Grandma!" "Where are you going?" "Please don't go!" "Come back!" "Grandma..." "Kenji, get your boat, please!" " What is it?" " I'll tell you later." "Please hurry!" " I haven't even put petrol in yet" " I don't care." "Please!" "Grandma..." "Grandma!" "Please don't go, Grandma!" "Thank you for everything, Nanako" "I'm going to I-love-you-land with Sun Ra" "We've run out of petrol!" "You can't, Grandma!" "You'll get sick on the boat" "Not with my I-love-you-lander" "How about Grandpa?" "He's still young." "Take care of him" "You promised not to disappear like this" "I've always loved Sun Ra" "I'll be happy with him" "Grandma!" "Grandma, take care of yourself" "I wish you well" "Grandma!" "Are you leaving the island too?" "Going back to Tokyo?" "Don't know" "Nanako, please don't go" "I don't know" "We'll be happy together too" "I dooooon't know!" "Marry me, Nanako" "I can't" "I like you, but it's not love" "It's OK I love you." "Let's get married" "Kenji, but I don't love you" "You know your family will die out" "Nanako!" "I won't give up." "I will love you for ever" "She's gone" " What did you say?" " Nothing." "Let's take a rest" "Sure" "There's a breeze in the air" "Change of the season" "The wind's blowing in circles and getting stronger" "Let's finish our work quickly" "You're learning, Fukunosuke" "Trust me!" " How much?" " This much" "Nanako?" "What's happened, Nanako?" "Don't worry, Nanako" "Big Nanako" "I fell in love with you... that spring when I was nineteen" "If you are going to leave me now... make me feel nineteen again" "Even a postcard... can reach miles away" "We live on the same island... but can't reach each other" "Even if you are leaving me..." "I won't be sentimental about you" "When you are still young... don't regret and just look forward to tomorrow's flowers" "Grandpa, I've decided to stay here" "With Fukunosuke?" "That's great, Fukunosuke" "You'll be a great husband of the island." "Wonderful!" "Nanako!" "Sing!" "No matter how much I love you..." "Fukunosuke!" "You are so aloof" "I'm not the same person as I was... you are the one who is responsible" "Fukunosuke!" "Do something!" "You say I'm responsible, Nanako..." "I'm just a poor in-law" "I'm coming to see you tonight... please wait for me in bed" "Grandpa!" "Please sing!" "Keitatsu, go ahead!" "There is a bird in the mountain, ...taking a nap on a plum twig," "...dreaming of flowers falling, ...and warbling feebly" "Please, everyone" "My granddaughter, Nanako, and Fukunosuke from Japan ...are going to marry and stay on the island" "Please wish them a happy marriage ...and celebrate together" "How shall we describe this delightful day?" "The dew has helped the flowers blossom" "Let's dance together, you, me and everyone" "Let's have fun today" "Think about tomorrow when it comes" "Until the dawn comes with the sunrise" "Let's dance together all night" "You, me and everyone..."
