"It's you, Sawada." "Here, sit down." "You've been here..." "A week." "I'm unemployed." "Your brother told me you were working in a television factory." "We were all jealous of you." "Yes, but the small factories can't stand up to the major firms." "The new models took over the market." "We can offer you work as a laborer, but for you, with your diploma..." "So there's no office work?" "We need managers, but they only want new graduates." " How old are you?" " 21." "21..." "And the Self-Defense Forces?" "I'm too chicken..." "You'd be better off helping you brother while you wait for something better." "Thanks, I'll think about it." "The Self-Defense Forces Are Recruiting" "Shit!" "Pervert!" "Wait!" "Come on!" "I don't want to!" "Don't run away!" "You want us to hurt you?" "Hey, wait a minute!" "Aren't you Wakae?" "Saburo!" "What's going on?" "They're messing with me." "Is that how you treat a lady?" "Let's beat it." "Do you know them?" "They offered to take me to a movie." "You shouldn't have gone with them." "And why aren't you in school?" "Here they come again!" "Little punks!" "Let's go." "You hate your stepmother?" "She's a bitch." "It's her fault my real mom died." "Things may be bad at home, but you have to go to school." "It doesn't interest me." "Otherwise things can only get worse." "I don't even have a skirt." "In any case, you have lovely shoes." "Auntie gave them to me." "I see." "Well, I'll buy you a skirt." " Really?" " Sure." "Thank you for visiting our store." "Your attention please:" "Mrs. Oki from Nakajo..." "Get a prettier one." " Can I?" " Of course, go ahead." "Really?" "This bridge represents the shell of a turtle." "They say that it brings luck." "Whoever crosses it will have a long life." "While crossing it, you have to say:" ""I am grateful."" "I am grateful, I am grateful..." "Saburo!" "Does it look good on me?" "Yes." "You look more grown-up, and you're very pretty in it!" "I'm intimidated." "Next stop:" "Kahokugata." "Saburo, this way." "Where are you bringing me?" "How long are you going to make me walk?" "We're almost there." "You have all kinds of stuff in there!" "This blockhouse is my secret hideout." "I'll keep them here." "The Anti-Firing Range Movement Has Failed" "US go home!" "Give us back our land!" "Do you remember 10 years ago?" "I was still in primary school, but I took part in the demonstrations." "We were all united in the beginning, but when the firing started and our cause seemed lost, the lure of money separated us." "My brother and your father weren't in the same camp." "This hate left behind wounds that never healed." "That's why my father curses your family when he's drunk." "I know." "But that doesn't matter to us, right?" "Of course not." "It's all because of poverty." "Since then there have been no more fish to catch." "But if the fish have left, they could still come back!" "You've been out wandering around again." "If you skip school, at least take care of the baby!" "I can't go to work." "Take care of that dirty kid?" "Quiet!" "That's your brother." "Oh really?" "How do you know he's yours?" "I know..." "Idiot!" "Wakae!" "What are you talking about?" "He's my boy." "You're so naive." "Ungrateful child." "Where were you?" "I was helping auntie in the shop, and she bought me this dress." "Take a look." "Hey, I didn't notice!" "Of course not." "Your aunt from Kanazawa could be useful," "You should try to please her." "There's a sweet potato left." "You can finish it if you want." "You good for nothing!" "What are you talking about?" "She's a pretty girl." "Normal." "She gets it from me." "She'll make a nice geisha." "Hi!" "Hey, you got a nice skirt." "Wakae!" "Your dues are three months late." "I have to collect them." "Get lost!" "So is this skirt stolen, as usual?" "It was a present." "Oh, from a man?" "Yes, a very kind man." "Saburo, come down here." "Come meet the villagers." "Act friendly during the election!" "There isn't much, but I'll prepare some food." "Don't worry about us." "Mr. Sawada, you're really lucky." "You'll be elected to the town council with a beautiful wife." "Just like Mr. Kennedy." "Please, don't flatter me." "I'm still too young." "I won't amount to anything without your help." "Saburo!" "Come and greet everyone." "Hello." "Come have a drink." "What are you doing?" "The young people who go to the city criticize us." "We should be careful." "Saburo, you're responsible for the votes of the youth organizations." "So pigheaded!" "He's not happy to have lost his job." "Maybe he found a nice girl for himself in Tokyo." "Saburo, don't embarrass your brother." "I'm not like him." "He's your brother, try to get along." "How can you, in this cold?" "It's because you're late." "Sorry." "Come on." "But it's cold." "No, let's swim!" "You win." "Let's go." "Try to catch me." "Hurry." "Let's begin." "Today, literature." "I like it when you teach me." "If you learn, you'll like school." "But I wonder..." "Wakae, where do you get the money for your school fees?" "Have this." "You need it for your books and the school dues." "Once I get a job," "I'll buy you a nice swimsuit." "Now, let's study."

"Kindness is unknown to me." "Do you really think so?" "Hey!" "Wakae!" "Get in." "Oh, it's you!" "Still with your taxi scam?" "So you ran away from the bar... and here you are with Saburo." "You work fast." "What do you want?" "Did you come to pay me my salary?" "You should talk..." "Anyway, for drinking, you can't be beat." "But if you throw away clients we can't pay you." "I have a job for you." "A club." "A classy place." "You can earn a bundle." "And how much do you get?" "What?" "Don't act the pimp with me." "What's this all about?" "Saburo won't fall for a whore like you." "Shut up!" "What do you know?" "Love has gone to your head." "Give back those high heels." "You stole them." "That makes up for what you owe me." "Oh really?" "Come back to Kanazawa with me." "Bastard!" "Stop, Wakae!" "Wait!" "Let me go!" "Dirty whore." "Creep!" "Do you want this 1,000 yen bill?" "Come get it!" "Bandit!" "Give it back!"

"You've become a man since you left for Tokyo." "Do you remember Ikuko?" "Hello." "She's in high school." "Let's go to your house to encourage your brother." "Talking shit about me with him, eh?" " No!" " Liar!" "It's a fief of the opposition." "If you support us, we would be grateful." "Yes, truly!" "I understand." "We are old acquaintances." "We need to open new horizons to fishing." "Count on me." "We have to help each other in difficult times." "Exactly." "Saburo, do you hear?" "We have friends." "What an unworthy son." "Please excuse me." "I have to make a speech." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Why doesn't Saburo make himself more useful?" "He's always going against his brother." "All the young people are like that." "You too, Ikuko?" "Yes." "I'm often like him." "You see!" "Young people were full of energy in the old days." "The fishing was good." "Their pockets were full." "It's true." "Are you talking about me?" "I don't mean to be lazy." "I just don't know what to do." "But right now we need everyone." "Well, do it without me." "Stubborn!" "Enough arguing." "I hadn't thought about it, but it seems like Saburo doesn't like to stay at home." "He can work at our poultry farm." "My husband is sick and Ikuko is going to school."

"No use crying." "Stay with me tonight." "You have your dreams" "And I have mine..." "Come back!" "Thief!" "What's up?" "You've abandoned your hideout." "Here." "Come with me." "And you skipped your classes." "There's no point in me studying." "You spent the money I gave you." "It doesn't matter." "I'll give you more." "Once I get my benefits." "I'm quitting school." "I can't go back there." "Why not?" "Wakae, what happened?" "Nothing." "Don't hide it from me." "Sawada!" "Good to see you!" "Come on, let's have a drink." "Your brother's a conservative, but it doesn't matter!" "Is it Wakae?" "It seems like..." "Auntie!" "What's this?" "Where'd you get it?" "She didn't buy it." "Who gave it to you?" " Come on." " Let me go." "Enough!" "Saburo, does this skirt mean anything to you?" "I bought it for her." "Are you and her..." "Don't say such nonsense." "Nonsense!" "Imbecile!" "Stop!" "Don't serve him." "You'll be accused of corruption." "Who do you think you are?" "You know your daughter?" "She's a thief!" "What!" "Where is your proof?" "I'm a witness." "I caught her red-handed in the school." "Really?" "It's true Saburo." "She's a bad girl." "When I pinched her, she tried to soften me up with a kiss." "Oh my, what a character!" "Like you said." "Go home, or I'll call the police." "Your opponents will use him to get to you." "Shame on you!" "You're hopeless." "Do you want to ruin my campaign?" "What cheek." "That hurt!" "You're only a vulgar good-for-nothing!" "Calm down." "Listen to Mr. Big Shot!" "Always so arrogant." "You really double-crossed those poor people during the protest." "Wakae paid the price." "You're just a punk." "The entire village was manipulated." "You're nothing but an idler." "If you don't like me, get lost!" "You're a weight on this house." "Why don't you just leave with that poor girl?" "Saburo, I really wish you could behave yourself." "It makes me sick to see you two fighting." "Shut up!" "You don't understand!" "Come on, you'll catch cold." "I don't understand you." "I'm happy that we met," "But I'm afraid we will have to separate." "Goodbye." "Saburo." "Mishima Inn" "Wakae, bring some coal." "She's charming." "Without a doubt." "Don't touch her." "What a body!" "The kind that makes money!" "But that will take time." "Massage my shoulders." "Oh, that man..." "talk about a wild beast!" "Cigarette." "You'll be late at the factory." "I'm not going." "I'd like to go enjoy the hot springs." "That's it." "Wakae, clean the room." "I bought this book." " It's about pigs." " Pigs?" "And also some music?" "You said you liked music." "We'll raise pigs." "A 2 month old pig will cost us 4,500 yen." "It can gain 70 kilos in 5 months, for a profit of 200 per kilo." "Feeding it will also cost... around 5,000 yen." "Net profit: 6,500 per head." "Are you listening?" "You're so motivated." "We'll listen to them in your room after dinner." "You always seem so serious..." "What's in your head?" "Didn't you say that you didn't know what to do?" "I don't know what to do." "I'd like to raise pigs so I could ask them." "Don't be stupid." "Seriously." "I like pigs." "I'll share their bed." "You're funny." "What's so funny?" "He wants to raise pigs." "Good idea." "If he wants to raise pigs or livestock," "Go ahead." "Do what you want." "Mom!" "Will you build a nice house for the two of us?" "It's too soon to think of that." "A cat." "I wonder." "Did you close it well?" "I'll go check." "It could be a weasel." "Mind your own business." "How did you get here?" "Did you see my letter?" "You're not going to school?" "I was at my aunt's house." "She wanted to make me a geisha." "So I ran away." "I see..." "I wanted to see you." "I'm afraid of what might happen." "I'm so lost." "I wanted to run away from you." "My brother made me raise chickens." "Don't you like me anymore?" "Let's forget that." "Who is that young girl?" "Her parents hired me." "She's their daughter." "I see!" "You love her." "Nonsense!" "But you're a liar and a thief." "You stole those shoes." "Let's forget we ever met." "I don't know." "Maybe I'm wrong." "I don't know what I'm doing." "I don't understand you." "I don't trust you." "Everything... is my fault." "It's not so bad." "You're still in high school." "Forget the past, and start from zero." "It would be best if you went back." "I'll go with you." "You have to speak to your teacher." "Sorry I bothered you." "I'm going." "You've decided?" "Let's go together." "I'd prefer to go by myself." "I don't mind..." "No, I can go alone." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Pig Farming" "The chickens!" "Get them out!" "Hurry!" "Kanazawa Center for Minors" "Come back in a week." "They asked me the same questions as at the tribunal." "You too?" "Wakae refused to speak to me." "Shit..." "I've had enough." "I need a drink." "Aggressive profile." "According to the police, the fire was accidental." "Could revenge be the motive?" "The psychological tests indicate that she is normal." "She refuses to speak." "But she is conscious of her actions." "I don't think she's a kleptomaniac." "She expresses herself impulsively and violently." "M. Taro Sawada!" "The youngest town councillor!" "Hooray!" "Are you OK?" "You pathetic wretch." "That fire caused a racket!" " Shut up!" " What?" "I have to get out of here." "There's no way I can stay in this village."

"Are you gonna kiss or what?" "The new girl!" "Go fill this up." "Hey!" "She said to fill this up." "Very cute!" "Quit being a snob." "So you've been making eyes at the teacher?" "Go fill it up!" "Fucking idiot." "You think you can hide what you did outside." "You slut." "Yeah, and a third-rate one too." "You're the sluts!" "Shit!" "Get off, shithead!" "Bitch!" "Whore!" "I'll kill you!" "Sir!" "A fight!" "There's the teacher!" "Hey!" "Stop it!" "Break is over." "Get back to work." "Aren't you ashamed of wasting vegetables?" "Bring that to me." "Give me that." "Hey Saburo." "It's been ages." "Say, you look alright." "It was funny how you got burnt by that fire." "Leave me alone." "Come on, be a good sport." "I'll buy you a drink." "That's enough." "I'm going." "Hey, wait a minute Sabu." "Say, Sabu, you wouldn't want to embarrass me?" "I don't want to see your face." "Oh yeah?" "And then..." "Whatever happened to your little whore?" "You left her in the lurch." "Didn't have the guts to stay with a whore." "Idiot!" "Fine, I'm worthless." "I'm a loser." "But you guys are even worse." "You live off those poor girls' backs." "Parasites!" "What's that?" "The yakuza have your back, that's why you have a big mouth." "Idiot!" "Fucking bastard!" "Even in primary school, you had a big mouth." "Say something!" "Are you done?" "Idiot!" "Shit!" "What happened to you?" "What happened?" "You're hurt." "Your face and your hands..." "Is my brother..." "He's in Tokyo to represent the village." "Come in, hurry." "It's cold." "Come here." "There she is!" "Wakae's in the lead." "There she is, the pyromaniac!" "Wakae, the pyromaniac!" "Go, go!" "Hey, turn around!" "Who did that?" "I'll get you!" "You little shit!" "Imbecile!" "Get her, mister!" "Again!" "Dirty thief!" "You're the shame of the village." "Stop!" "You punks!" "You're the ones who threw stones." "We're humans." "Stones hurt." "It's dangerous." "Shut up!" "I'm taking you all to the police." "Let's go." "You little brats!" "Scoundrels!" "Next time you won't get away!" "Dinner time, dinner time," "Let's enjoy ourselves" "The breeze is cool," "Our hearts are light," "We are grateful" "For our good health" "Our joyful meal will begin" "Let's eat!" "What do you want?" "This is from the boys." "Wow!" "Thank you." "It's for the girl who won the marathon." "Say!" "You're the favorite!" "Let's all eat it together." "This carp is huge." "But the race today was great." "I started a fire, so they hate me." "I've been through that." "They lashed out at me for nothing." "Me too." "That's what pushed me to act." "Are you showing off?" "The mistress!" "Please listen." "I heard there was a fight in the village." "No need to make a big deal out of it." "The director took care of things, but be prudent." "Okay?" "By the way, one of the boys stole a carp from a farm." "You should behave yourselves." "Now, enjoy your meal." "What should we do?" "It's already dead." "May as well eat it." "That's right!" "Okay, I'll call them together in a moment." "Look at this!" "I got a present." "Watch where you're going, stupid!" "Who are you calling stupid?" "Clean up this mess, quick!" "It's almost time, hurry up." "Did you finish down there?" "Wakae, can you come to my office?" "You should really behave yourselves." "Auntie!" "Sit down." "You look well." "What is it?" "Around four or five days ago..." "Your father disappeared without a trace." "He couldn't stand the gossip and he snuck away in the night." "In any case, he's no good." "You'll come to our house for the New Year." "I'll prepare a feast." "I don't like it at your house." "I want to stay here." "What?" "I came to get you." "No!" "You authorize this?" "Yes, because it's better for her." "What?" "It's my policy." "I have the right to say what I think." "In the absence of her father." "I am the only family she has left." "I'll take care of her." "She is only under your authority here." "There is no law that puts her under your protection." "What's that?" "We cannot let her go back to an unhealthy environment." "We are also responsible." "And seeing as you are in the business of pleasure," "I can't let her go back." "You don't have the right..." "It's my duty." "Everyone is there." "Very well." "Please excuse me." "Give me those back." "Nothing but thieves here." "Come to my house for New Year's." "We have a Western-style room." "Liar!" "That's a lie!" "What do you know?" "Hurry up." "We're coming." "Let's go!" "I'll write to you." "You'll come to my house, right?" "Okay, thank you." "Goodbye, enjoy your holidays!" "It's snowing." "Enjoy the bath." "I didn't think it would snow." "It's so quiet!" "I'm used to it." "I haven't been home since I came here." "Really?" "And you've been here three years?" "I can never go home." "Snow is falling." "The cold of winter has returned." "I am completely alone." "It sounds like the poem Saburo read to me." "I have nowhere left to go." "What will I become?" "When will I be able to leave this place?" "I wish that..." "I could go somewhere where they didn't know about the fire and the stealing, and about me." "I could be a maid." "If only I could find a place." "Thank you for the bath." "I saw the marathon two days ago." "Forgive me." "The villagers were harsh." "I had to see you." "Saburo, where did you go?" "I was working in Kanazawa." "I must have ruined all your chances." "It was my fault." "I was wrong." "I was mean to you." "You must have hated me." "I stole, and did all kinds of bad things." "It was my fault." "It's not only your fault." "Wakae, listen to me." "I'm going to start again from zero." "I decided when I saw you running." "Let them say what they will." "I'm going back home." "Back home?" "What will they say?" "My brother is coming back tonight." "I'll beg him." "Forget about me." "Do what you think is best." "Please." "Don't say that, Wakae." "I..." "I'm going to apologize to everyone." "And I'll wait for you." "Then, we'll decide what to do." "Are you mad at me?" "Be brave." "Then..." "Goodbye." "Wakae, what are you doing?" "Nothing." "I saw the office chief." "It seems like he holds me in high esteem." "And I have a future." "That's great." "In fact, Taro, Saburo came back." "He promises to work hard." "Show him a little indulgence." "If he's hit rock bottom, maybe he can change." "Sabu, I was in Tokyo, in Kanazawa, and I have a lot to do." "You'll have to make yourself useful." "I'm sorry." "Their hearts are full of happiness," "It's because both of them are in love" "Tomiko hasn't come back." "Let's send her our newspaper." "Didn't you hear?" "What?" "She isn't sick." "She ran away from home." "Why?" "Because of her boyfriend." "He persuaded her." "The lovers' little fingers get tangled together" "They found your father." "What?" "My father!" "He's in Yamanashi." "He had an accident." "Your aunt didn't answer so they told me." "I'll go with you." "Let's hurry." "Thank you." "Papa." "How are you?" "It's nice that you came." "You weren't with that woman?" "You see..." "Katsuko..." "She left with someone younger." "I followed them until here." "And there you go... an accident with the dynamite." "I've run out of luck." "You abandoned me for that woman." "Is that what you call being a father?" "Don't be mean." "I had to leave the village because of you." "Everything started going wrong the day she arrived." "Wakae, don't go." "What are you thinking about?" "Do you want to accompany your father to the clinic?" "I want to go back to the boarding school." "I see." "I'll take him them." "Don't lose hope." "Tomiko!" "Where is everyone?" "In the gymnasium watching a film." "I'm bored." "What did you do?" "It didn't work out." "Why not?" "They never leave me in peace." "They brought me to Nagoya and wanted to sell me." "You ran away?" "But you knew they were no good." "We'll never marry anyone respectable..." "I feel hopeless." "I disagree." "My past is stuck to my skin." "There's no hope." "I'm definitely better off here." "I loved you so much" "I'm so unhappy..." "Tomiko..." "When you saved me during the marathon, you said:" ""We're also human beings."" "But they treat us like pariahs." "Try to stay strong." "You, you're pretty." "That means nothing." "You have to try before giving up hope." "Let's concentrate on the five students who will get their diplomas and jobs." "There could be some problems." "I'd like your opinions." "Let's talk about Wakae Kita." "Isn't she dangerous?" "There was the fire, and she's still scrappy." "Possibly." "But if we give a student a chance, they can make it through." "They need a special job to dedicate themselves to." "That's very idealistic." "We should recognize the value..." "Yes, yes, but maybe we should study her file more closely." "Her father seems like a hopeless case." "Wakae, you seem depressed lately." "Don't work yourself to death." "You do good work." "Spring Sale" "Excuse me." "Could I see this one?" " No, the one next to it." " Here." "But, Wakae," "If you have to leave and you run into trouble, if you regret not seeing Saburo it could make you lose courage." "That's why it would be better to see him than to leave him this letter." "Even if he persuades you to give up your job in Osaka." "I think it's better." "I'll arrange things with the people from Osaka." "I think I can handle whatever difficulty might come up." "Really?" "What do you think?" "Because she decided like this, it's better if she doesn't see him." "She took several days to decide." "If she attracts any trouble, we'll find a solution with her." "Maybe you're right." "Wakae, if you realize the work is too hard for you, you should come back here." "Don't go anywhere else." "Yes." "Very well." "Here's a farewell gift from us for both of you." "And from me." "Do your best." "I'm counting on you." "Goodbye." "Accompany her to the door." "Send us your article for our newspaper." "I hope she'll pull through." "Don't forget us!" "You promise?" "I hope so too." "For the sake of all the others." "You're going?" "And Saburo?" "The teacher will tell him." "I'll send you money, but don't start drinking." "No need to worry." "Mister Kita!" "I brought some whiskey to celebrate!" "You're already here?" "I took the afternoon off." "Is Wakae at home?" "Regional train for Osaka, departing immediately..." "Wakae, wait!" "Why are you leaving me?" "I'm sorry, Saburo." "Tell me, do you love me at all?" "Even a little?" "Answer me." "Yes, I love you." "But..." "I'm no good." "What are you talking about?" "Come with me." "Two coffees." "You're mean!" "You were leaving to work with a tailor in Osaka." "Your teacher recommended you?" "You could have told me." " You would have tried to stop me." " Of course." "You can work with a tailor here instead." "I could find you a placement." "Isn't that what you want?" "Don't you trust me?" "I trust you." "I never doubted you." "I don't deserve you waiting for me." "It made me so happy when you came to see me." "I overflowed with happiness." "But later on I started to tell myself I was no good." "Stop feeling guilty." "It's stupid and useless." "It's not your fault alone if you were sent to reform school." "Many of us were responsible." "And I was also responsible for that fire." "And, it's true, both of us suffered the consequences." "But why do you have to leave me because of it?" "I don't have anything to brag about, and I don't reproach you for anything in your past." "You think your father would be a burden to me?" "I thought about it, but you take it too seriously." "You have to live your life." "All three of us need to have a discussion together." "I feel sorry for your father." "You shouldn't decide on your own." "The 14:24 express train for Tokyo is announced." "Regional train for Osaka, platform 4, ready to depart." "Whatever the case, come back and let's talk about it." "But they're waiting for me at the station in Osaka." "You can wire them that you're sick." "This is a crucial decision for us." "There's no choice." "Don't you understand?" "I'm not asking for the moon." "Drink." "It'll get cold." "What's wrong?" "I don't know what to do." "I feel so guilty." "Don't cry." "Maybe I was selfish, but I turned it around and around in my head," "And I resolved to leave to work." "If I listened to you, I would surely run into trouble." "Father is treading lightly for the moment, but he'll start drinking again." "That's not important." "Father is weak, it makes him bad." "I'm in the best position to know it." "And then, I'm afraid of myself." "I have a twisted mind." "I lose my cool easily and I can't control myself." "I love you so much." "Really..." "But..." "But that's it." "I have nothing else to offer." "But Wakae..." "Neither do I." "We're the same." "No, we're different." "For you, anything is possible." "But those of us who have been to reform school are poor and dependent." "That's what makes us good for nothing." "And makes us lose hope." "That's why I wanted to go and work." "I decided not to love anyone, until I could be proud of myself." "Your attention please, the regional train bound for Osaka is leaving in a few minutes." "My decision is made." "But now I don't know what to do." "What to do?" "The Miss Springtime of Northern Japan has just been announced." "The Miss from last year will pass her the crown." "The new Miss Springtime is born." "Congratulations." "What effect will it have to be Miss Springtime?" "I'm so happy." "I understand." "You will receive 1 million yen and cosmetic products." "What will you do with the prize?" "I'm going to buy a car." "A car?" "What a good idea." "You can go get married in your car, and go on your honeymoon." "That sounds good, doesn't it?" "Would you marry me?" "The people of your region gave you a lot of support." "A word of thanks for them?" "Thank you so much." "Is that it?" "You must be very moved." "The Miss Springtime competition of the North is over." "We'll see you next year." "Stop crying!" "Regional Train bound for Osaka, departing immediately." "Quick!" "What happened?" "I'll accompany you to the next station." "Go to Osaka." "I think I understand how you felt in the reform school." "I'll be alone as well." "And I'll put myself to the test as well." "And after three years... if you remember me and you still love me... and I still love you," "we'll find each other." "If ever we each start our own families, separately," "and we happen to cross paths in the street, let's hope that we'll have become worthy people." "I love you." "A lot!" "I love you too." "A lot!" "If you need me, I'll come running to you." "Good luck." "Saburo!" "Goodbye!" "THE END" "Translated by smid, from French subtitles."
