"I am so jealous of that old couple" "Then you should find a boyfriend" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "Thank you" "Kiyoko keeps turning down everyone after her" "She's just pretending to be chaste" "No, she used to love someone" "What do you know about that girl?" "What about the bakery owner you mentioned last time?" "He is good at his business and he has made some money" "The bread there is tasty and very popular" "Nuiko, then you should go talk to him" "I wanted too, but it's difficult to... talk about such things" "That's right" "Look at this ring" "My husband is quite good to me" "I can't live without him" "I really envy you" "Only if I could be like you" "What are you talking about?" "Your husband is nice too" "How many accessories do you have?" "Not many, just a few." "He said it's not necessary" "He's really a bore" "This model isn't new right?" "I'll buy it if there's a discount" "Let me try it on, what do you think?" "It suits you well, you look younger" "How much is it?" "Alright, alight, just take it if you like" "Really?" "I'll have it then." "I'm leaving" "Oh yes, how old is that bakery owner?" "35." "Not too old, right?" "I see, then he's quite suitable" "Is Kiyoko coming home today?" "Yes, what's the matter?" "Mother is looking for her" "Really?" "What I can help you, mother?" "If you really want to help, then get married earlier" "I've told you so many times, do I have to talk about it again?" "I think a 35-year-old man is quite suitable, please think about it" "It's more and more difficult to find a good man" "The ratio of men to women is now 1:23, what you gonna do?" "I'm not going to do anything" "How can you be like this?" "You keep on being a tour guide" "You just said you would help me and all that..." "Has Kasuke found a job yet?" "He keeps playing Pachinko lately, he's hopeless" "He never listens to me" "Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine" "How can I not worry about him?" "He always says he'll change but he never does" "You don't want to have a date with Tsunakichi, that bakery owner?" "Mother, you really want me to go out with such a frivolous man?" "Well, men are all frivolous anyway" "You pampers them too much" "I can't help it, husband is the one in charge" "Mother, today I saw Mitusko's husband with another woman in Ginza" "It will make her mad if you tell her" "Seems that her business is not doing well" "Mitsuko is like your father, she's too weak" "My father is not weak" "Well, yeah..." "I'm back" "Welcome back" "Why would you have such a friend?" "She should have paid her rent by now" "It's okay, she must be able to afford it" "Kiyoko, you're back" "Hello, Kasuke" "Where did you go?" "Look, this is what I won today" "Mother, these are all for you" "Want to bribe me with all these?" "Mother, where shall I put them?" "Anywhere is fine" "Kiyoko, have you thought about that bakery owner?" "He's nice" "What are you talking about?" "Go wash it" "Kiyoko, are you going to turn him down?" "Okay, stop arguing" "I'll give you 150 yen later" "You don't have to, you're my daughter" "Mother, you talk like Buddha" "I'm going out" "You're still going out?" "Poor girl, she still has another job" "I want to go learn something too" "But you're already 23" "Mother" "Mother, you were married to four men, right?" "Were you happy?" "It's not about being happy or not" "Seeing mother and my two sisters," "I wonder if marriage really brings happiness" "Please don't say that, you are the best among my four children" "You must be able to find a good husband" "Kiyoko, look, I've always kept this with me" "I bought it when you were born" "What do you think?" "It's too sharp" "No, not really, look" "You bought so many things for me today, I'm so happy" "Really?" "You look beautiful" "You are bad" "Then please try to talk to Kiyoko" "So you wanted something in return" "There's nothing better than what I offer, right?" "You know it's a good deal for you" "Okay, I'll do as you said" "Let's go" "Good evening" "Good evening" "I'm back" "Welcome" "My husband has not come back yet" "Really?" "Will he be caught in some accident?" "It's still early now" "But he's out for long" "He really makes you worry a lot" "Have you had dinner yet?" "Yes" "Mother asked me to go home today" "Nuiko was here today" "Really?" "Seeing my mother and Nuiko... makes me think that marriage is such a misery for women" "Not if you are married to a good man" "I always thought your brother-in-law is cheated by your elder sister" "I do think Nuiko is very fussy" "We all have different fathers" "A family like ours is rare indeed" "Mother is so pathetic" "You think so?" "How about you, sister?" "Do you think you're happy?" "My husband..." "He always leave me to have dinner alone" "A woman's life is so boring..." "I'd better take a look outside" "Good evening, Kiyoko, where's your elder sister?" "She has left already" "Wasn't she here this morning?" "That was this morning" "Oh... so where is she now?" "Where's Mitsuko?" "She just went out" "Is there any Sake?" "I want to have a drink" "I guess so?" "Here you are" "Thank you" "Kiyoko, you're really a good girl" "I always have to be away from home" "You have to be with other women often?" "That's business, I can't help it" "Thanks for everything" "This is the first time my husband stayed out all night" "Mitsuko, don't worry, I'll find him today" "How would you find him?" "On the tour bus, all around Tokyo" "What nonsense..." "I'm going" "Take care" "The tall bridge in front of you is Ryogokubashi" "This bridge is often mentioned... in songs, stories and myths" "Many different festive activities take place on the sides of the bridge" "Thank you" "What's the matter with you today?" "Something wrong?" "Something's on my mind" "You look strange" "Kiyoko, your family called and asked you to go back at once" "Really?" "He seemed so healthy" "You can't be too sure about one's health" "When a man's luck is against him..." "Life is full of surprises..." "Kasuke, please light me a cigarette" "When did you start smoking?" "I don't feel well" "Mother, the soup seems to taste a little plain, let's put some more salt" "This bothersome cat" "Hey, hey, don't smoke here any more" "When are you going to stop?" "Isn't that Tsunakichi?" "Welcome, please come in" "Mother, Tsunakichi is here" "Please come in" "Good day, I am Tsunakichi" "He is that bakery owner" "Glad to meet you" "Kasuke, come and say hello" "Sorry, I didn't help much" "It's alright, Nuiko alone is enough" "Don't cry any more, your snot is dripping" "I have no where to go now" "Who's here?" "That bakery owner" "Kasuke, maybe you can work at his place" "It's great if you can come" "You could help me a lot" "Thanks for taking care of me" "Tsunakichi, I'm sorry... to have bothered you with such things" "It's fine, it's fine, it's okay to bother him with trivial things like these" "Please don't say that, it's just a small shop" "No, no, it's much bigger than our own" "Why did you say that?" "Is our shop so bad?" "Am I not telling the truth?" "You always put up a straight face" "Hey, don't go too far" "What do you mean by "don't go too far"?" "Nuiko really has a sharp tongue" "No, not really, let's drink" "Kasuke, go get Kiyoko" "Please drink some more." "It's hot isn't it?" "It's so annoying" "You mean that man?" "I don't even want to talk to him" "But he's not going anywhere for now" "What kind of man is he?" "You can't see a man like him anywhere else" "A man that Nuiko likes a lot" "Kiyoko" "Nuiko is calling for you again" "Oh, that's annoying" "Kiyoko" "Let me take a look" "Mitsuko, let me introduce to you, this is Tsunakichi" "I am very sorry for your lost" "Thank you very much" "He just said he would get a job for Kasuke" "It's great if I could help" "Mitsuko, have a drink too" "How come Kiyoko is still not here" "Let's have one, Mitsuko" "Kiyoko, how can you be so rude?" "I don't want to see him" "What are you talking about?" "He's not the kind of man for me" "You're out of your mind, why are you angry?" "How can you be so self-willed?" "That's annoying... forcing me to drink" "I just wanted to have a chat" "Let's have some tea" "Okay" "I heard that your husband had life insurance..." "Have you claimed it yet?" "Ryuzo, are you urging me now?" "Just get what you should get, before things get complicated" "Even if I claimed it... where should I live?" "We have borrowed a lot of money" "I know about the loans" "I want to open a coffee shop in Shibuya" "Is it Nuiko's idea?" "She had a shop already" "Would she agree to open a shop there?" "That's not a problem" "I want to open another shop" "We can cooperate" "Excuse me, I have to go now" "I should be going too" "Going so soon?" "I'll think about what you said" "I'll wait until you get your money" "Goodbye" "Take care" "Sister, beware of him" "I guess he just wanted to help?" "I'll be careful" "Excuse me" "Are you the wife of the shop owner?" "Yes" "Your husband used to take care of me..." "I know it sounds... very shameless, but..." "I've never heard anything about it from my husband" "His colleagues told me he's dead, I thought it was a lie" "And then I wander around and arrived here" "I never thought such a thing would happen" "My husband never said he took care of you" "I have a letter that your husband wrote to me" "Please don't, please take it back" "Please take it back, please" "I'm going then" "Sorry to have bothered you" "Mitsuko" "I saw your husband with that woman before" "I afraid it would upset you so I didn't tell you" "How could this be possible?" "Why there isn't even one good news?" "Let's go, Mitsuko" "In any case, I don't want to stay alone at home" "Don't be so upset about your husband" "I feel bad whenever I think of what he did" "Men are all despicable" "Don't move around!" "Seems that there's no big problem?" "Don't bother Mitsuko when she comes back" "Kiyoko should get married earlier" "There's no use hanging on like this" "Mother, my husband wants to borrow some money from Mitsuko" "Really?" "Right, we want to open a shop in Shibuya" "We'll lose face if we do not expand our business" "Mother, please talk to Mitsuko" "She may listen if you talk to her" "It's difficult for me to talk about it" "You're her mother, what's so difficult?" "I'll give it a try then" "I also want some money to buy clothes for summer anyway" "But how should I ask her?" "Mitsuko is too mean" "Oh, here she comes" "Sorry we're late" "I'm so tired, Mitsuko" "It's great to have siblings when you move house" "I'm so sorry" "Where should I put these?" "Things are all over the place, I can hardly walk around" "Mitsuko you're always a beauty" "It makes me worry that you're alone now" "I'm not alone" "There's another woman" "There could be problems for the insurance settlement" "Don't worry, he didn't left a will that mentioned her" "Mitsuko, this cat seems to know what we're saying" "Look, he seems so happy" "Kiyoko, you're so good to cats" "Really?" "Kiyoko, the girl on the second floor said... she's going to move out" "Oh, really?" "I don't know what's on her mind" "Why did you talk to Kiyoko like that?" "I just don't like her kind" "What's the matter?" "Nothing" "You've been doing this all day?" "I don't have anything to do anyway" "It can make some money" "It's hard for you, right?" "Kiyoko" "How about men take a bath first, then women next?" "Anyway you want it" "What's the matter with you?" "Don't quarrel" "No one wants to quarrel with him, he started it first" "It's me again?" "Just eat your Soba, it's getting cold" "Right, go on and eat" "The girl on the second floor... eats only two meals a day" "Then give her some food, mother" "If she's used to have two meals, eating too much would be bad" "Nuiko wants you to lend her some money from the insurance you claimed" "She talked about it this morning" "So just lend her" "Mitsuko, I also said I wanted to borrow some money from you before" "I need some money for work" "How come you all set your eyes on my money?" "Looks like you really got it in hand?" "You've claimed it, right?" "Mitsuko" "Everyone is interested in your money" "It's just a small amount even if I got it" "It'll be used up in a year and half or so" "Should I just lend it to Nuiko to open a shop in Shibuya?" "Lend it to her?" "I wonder if it's alright..." "Why not give it a try?" "You have to be sure if you lend her money" "I'm lucky to be able to offer some help, right, Kiyoko?" "I don't know" "I'm not sure either..." "Anything to pawn?" "Anything to pawn?" "..." "When will Mitsuko get over this?" "Mitsuko, hurry up, otherwise we'll be late" "I'm sorry" "Mitsuko, if you don't feel right then please come back earlier" "Take care of yourself, Kiyoko, and the kitten too" "Please be careful" "Please have some tea" "Thank you" "It's been a long time since I had such good food" "You're such a good friend" "I'm pleased to have you as my friend too" "That's great" "Finally I managed to have this record player" "It's tough being a private tutor, right?" "All jobs are tough anyway" "I always pay my rent late, your mother would certainly blame me for... squandering money on such an expansive thing" "But I could live my life like this in the past" "This is what my mother left behind" "My mother is the kind of woman who would skip a meal to pursuit her interest" "She plays piano very well" "Have you thought about marriage?" "Yes of course, if I meet the right man" "Everyone is like that" "How about you, Kiyoko?" "Me?" "I've never thought about it" "You're lying" "Why would you say that?" "I just feel it" "Anybody home?" "Are you there Kiyoko?" "Everyone's out" "Kiyoko is away too?" "Yes" "What a pity" "Do you know where they are?" "I don't really know" "Excuse me, I have to go out soon too" "I'll wait outside then" "They may be back very late" "Bad luck" "Please come again when they're here" "I'll tell them about it" "Goodbye then" "Thank you so much" "Who is he?" "My boyfriend" "You're not serious?" "You're bad" "He took back everything he brought here" "Really?" "Don't be so upset, just let it be" "Women love to cry all the time, just clueless" "Everyone else is busy working" "What are you trying to say?" "If you continue like this you'll ruin your body" "No one wants something like this to happen" "Those who live on must take care of themselves, right?" "What's there to cry about?" "What are you talking about?" "'Cause I won't have anyone in my heart" "Get serious if you want to have a wife" "You're wasting your time every day, when would you be able to have a wife?" "What's the hurry?" "A man can get married as late as 42" "I have my plans too" "What plans could you have?" "Kasuke, your father is a policeman" "He was a very good man" "Really excellent" "No matter what followed, it's happy to be married to such a man" "Why are you talking about all those again?" "Like it was real" "What are you talking about, Kasuke?" "I think your father is fine" "You're right then" "Don't scratch your legs anymore, okay?" "You stupid, men are like this" "Disgusting." "I wonder what would your wife say" "Mother" "How old are you two?" "Still quarrel?" "I went to Nuiko's place" "What's up with her?" "Your sister goes out a lot with Tsunakichi" "I think Tsunakichi is not very good" "You bet" "But I think he's quite nice, he has his own shop, and he's much wealthier than Ryuzo" "How can you compare him to Ryuzo?" "He is the kind of man Nuiko likes" "Stop it" "I'm having a hard time between them" "Today..." "Madam," "Your brother-in-law got drunk" "Ryuzo?" "Seems like it's because you cheated him or something like that" "I don't know what exactly it is" "Do you want to go and have a look?" "No" "How about your elder sister?" "I'd better go and see" "Ryuzo, what's wrong with you?" "Oh, it's you, Mitsuko" "Mitsuko, don't be innocent" "You'd better beware when doing business" "Let's go home first" "Mitsuko" "Listen up now" "I really don't understand Nuiko" "She always wants to humiliate me" "When I ask her why, she said she just want to be this way" "Why am I so miserable?" "Can't she just treat me a little better?" "Ryuzo..." "Be careful" "Should I get your sister?" "Okay, okay, just let him be" "A customer?" "Nuiko" "Don't go!" "What have you done behind me?" "Don't be impulsive" "You're such a shame" "You're worse than a woman, and you dare question me now" "How can we be husband and wife?" "I don't want to live with a man like you" "What did you say?" "Get lost!" "How dare you treat me like this?" "I can't stand it anymore" "Stop it, Ryuzo" "It can't stand it" "I don't want to see them like this" "And then Tsunakichi came looking for Nuiko" "He even drank at her place" "This is absurd" "I feel there's something wrong too" "Great, so I got rid of him finally" "No way, it's Nuiko who's crazy about him" "I think Tsunakichi likes you more" "Disgusting" "How come so many things happened lately" "Mitsuko, that woman writes you a letter again" "What does she want?" "I am having a hard time bringing up my baby" "That baby is the son of your died husband, please kindly help us" "Please give me 200,000 yen to raise the child" "200,000 yen" "Let's go and see her" "It must be boring for you to come along, you don't have many holidays" "Let's get off here" "My place is a little messy, please don't mind" "Please take a seat" "So let's talk it over today" "Okay" "I think you don't know my difficulties..." "We have borrowed a lot of money from others" "I've heard things." "I know my request must be hard for you" "But your husband always said he had 500,000 life insurance... and told me not to worry" "He's just bluffing" "Here's your soda" "Thank you" "I'm sorry to have written you such a letter" "But please think about this child's future" "It's only 200,000..." "I guess it's alright?" "You know, that's a large sum" "I know I must be putting you into a difficult situation" "But I know how much that life insurance worths" "I can't go to work with my baby" "I think you do understand?" "I do understand, but are you his wife?" "Are you his legitimate wife?" "You know he is married, yet you kept dating him" "Isn't my sister pathetic?" "It's up to us to decide whether we give you money or not" "Please don't mind" "I just say what I want to say" "Then let's take it to court" "I just want to discuss it with you" "Then say it, how much?" "Well, you asked me how much anyway" "The insurance is all used to repay debts" "My brother-in-law was deep in debt, you know?" "That I can't be bothered with" "That is private matter" "You asked him to bought you this house, right?" "Kiyoko, that's okay." "I don't have too much" "200,000 should be fine" "I'll give you little by little" "Here is 50,000" "Sister, you don't have to be so polite" "I'm married to your brother-in-law..." "I shall pay back what he owes" "He was a married man, but he messed around with a woman like this" "Kiyoko" "Please take this" "Thank you very much" "If 200,000 is too much, 100,000 would be fine" "It's all for this child" "I understand, I'll try my best" "Thank you so much" "Sister, let's get going" "Kiyoko, Kiyoko, are you angry?" "What's the use of being angry?" "Kiyoko, let's walk around" "Kiyoko, that child is just like my husband" "Even his gestures" "Really?" "Mitsuko, once you've given her what she asks for, she'll want more in the future" "Perhaps you're right, but I can't help it" "It's for my husband... what can I do otherwise?" "What happened to all the men now?" "Having a child outside without letting his family know" "It's okay, mother, I'll handle it" "Didn't you want to open a coffee shop with that money?" "A coffee shop?" "That's great!" "Kasuke helped me to find cheap foodstuff" "Mitsuko, this is your first stop towards success" "If it's not Tsunakichi, our business won't be that bad" "Don't talk about that guy, let's drink" "Tsunakichi is not too bad I think" "My wife is the one to blame" "You can't blame her for that" "I'm back" "Welcome" "Ryuzo, you're here" "Ryuzo, you can't let such a thing happen again" "I'll try my best" "So let's drink" "Is there anything wrong?" "Tsunakichi called me today and talked silly again" "Oh..." "Hello" "Welcome" "You're here" "Yes" "What's up?" "Mitsuko you don't seem well" "Sorry to make you worry" "Thanks for taking care of my daughter" "No, not at all" "Let's have a drink together" "Thank you" "Please come in" "Kiyoko, don't keep avoiding me" "Please come in" "I have something to do" "Don't be so polite" "Come in" "Let me treat you a dinner some time" "Thanks, you don't have to..." "Dinner?" "I'm going too." "Let's go to a good restaurant" "It will be happier if I come along" "Come and have a drink" "Mother, please go buy some beer" "Take it" "What's the matter with you?" "I'm worried" "I'm alright" "Let's go to your place and have a drink" "You just wanted to see my wife, huh?" "What are you talking about?" "I am asking you for some help" "I want to refurbish my shop" "But I haven't decide what to do yet" "I need 200,000 for my shop" "Really?" "I'll invite you over by then" "I can go there from time to time" "I am inviting you" "Invite me?" "You think I'm a fool?" "What's between you and my wife?" "You told my wife 200,000 is nothing, did you?" "Don't go" "Kasuke, do something" "Don't fight, Ryuzo" "I'm sorry for today" "What happened?" "Who started it first?" "Just don't bother" "Don't move" "Men are so terrible" "They're like beasts" "It's a bit dirty here, please don't mind" "I live here by myself" "Seeing you reminds me of my youthful days" "I never thought I could have my place rented so soon" "Thank you so much" "You're welcome." "You seem to be in a hurry" "I don't mean anything, you look like a good girl" "Then the rental deposit..." "There's no need, I'm just living by myself" "Right, I have some Soba downstairs, today is my husband's death anniversary" "It may not taste very good, but please have some if you don't mind" "Please" "Thanks for the food" "My husband likes the Soba I made very much" "It's very long, right?" "It's delicious" "You make dolls?" "Yes, but I'm not very good at it" "I'm just so-so" "You like it too?" "My daughts liked them at first" "Daughters?" "Yes, both of them are married with children" "Their children are girls" "Both dolls are girls" "They're lovely" "Excuse me" "Thank you so much for your Soba" "You're welcome, you've finished it?" "It's very tasty, I want to have some more next time" "You're welcome, I have a lot" "Oh yes, let me introduce to you." "She is Kiyoko who just moved in" "Kiyoko, she is Tsubomi who lives next door" "Nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you" "I'm going now." "I'll leave the keys to you" "Okay" "Is your brother going with you?" "It's nice, you two are so good to each other" "You're exaggerating it" "Tsubomi, let's go" "Please come over, Shuzo" "What's the matter?" "Nothing" "We're going." "Goodbye" "Please take care" "These two siblings are both very good" "Tsubomi is a pianist, Shuzo works in an office and is a part-time private tutor" "When Tsubomi is busy, Shuzo would wash her clothes for her" "How many siblings do you have?" "My siblings are like... they don't exist" "I'll go get some soy sauce" "Kiyoko, what happened to you?" "It's been a long time" "I don't like to hear you say that" "I thought something happened to you, your company said you're on leave" "I'm not joking" "Where have you been?" "I rented a flat outside" "Why did you rent a flat outside?" "Can I have this?" "Wash it first" "Where is Mitsuko?" "She went to her shop, she'll be back soon" "She worries a lot about you" "You have to let her know how you're doing" "I came back for my blankets" "Why did you move out?" "Um" "Don't "um" me, I'll be 60 next year" "You're doing just fine, mother, I don't worry about you" "What do you know?" "I don't want to be like a kid staying with mum" "I don't want to stay at home all the time" "They are your sisters and brother, you can't be like that" "It's so sour!" "Who's that?" "Ryuzo" "Kiyoko where have you been?" "Hello" "She rented a flat outside" "Really?" "You've grown up" "I have to go now, goodbye, Kiyoko" "Goodbye" "Umbrellas for sale, umbrellas for sale..." "Ryuzo has been living here?" "All because of Nuiko" "She forgets about her husband when she's busy with the shop" "He just wanders around aimlessly every day" "I don't know what to say to him" "Nuiko is really mean" "You can't really blame her" "She cares about you too" "What do you think, mother?" "It doesn't matter what I think" "They're like that already" "I'll go and pack my things" "Let me help you" "It's alright" "It's okay" "I'm sorry" "You found this place on your own?" "No, my friend helped me" "You work in a company too?" "I am a tour bus guide" "It's tough, right?" "When you have to deal with picky tourists" "Sometimes, yes" "It's the same when I play the piano" "Piano?" "Yes, my sister always picks on me whenever I play" "Thank you very much" "You're welcome" " Kiyoko" " Mitsuko" "Mother worries a lot about you" "What did she say?" "She said she's worried, of course" "She asks me to come and see you" "What's the matter with you?" "I just do what I want to do" "Mother pampers you too much" "She'll be fine if I see you" "I brought you some apples" "It's such a wonderful view" "I was also surprised when I first saw it" "It feels completely different from home" "I want to live here with you" "It's the first time I hear you talk like this" "I'm glad you're here" "Mitsuko, how's your coffee shop?" "I'm working on it, otherwise how can I live on?" "I want to buy a big bookshelf with lots of books I want to read" "I have other plans too" "It's good to have dreams, you're still young" "What are you talking about?" "You're young too, Mitsuko" "No, I'm really old" "I don't even know who I am" "Don't say that" "I don't have any faith now" "Come and talk to me more often" "I'm going then" "Thank you" "Is this place open yet?" "I don't think so" "Kiyoko" "Good day" "Should I call you boss?" "Do I look like one?" "You're just like a boss" "Ask your friends to come too, I'll give them a discount" "No problem" "Coffee, tea, milk..." "I'll try some coffee then" "Please wait a minute" "The paint is not completely dried yet" "Really?" "The decoration is nice" "It's nothing special" "A rare guest indeed, I heard you moved out?" "Did you have a boyfriend?" "Mitsuko worries about you" "Tsunakichi comes here to help very often" "Let's take a walk outside, Kiyoko" "I'm going, Mitsuko" "You hate me that much?" "You just came, why are you going so soon?" "You have things to buy for the shop, right?" "Yes, I'm going to buy them soon" "You should go now, in case you need them" "It's alright, just go" "I'm here" "Am I right, Kiyoko?" "Kiyoko" "Every time when you see me, you give me a hateful look" "Like I am no good at all" "Sit down" "I really like you Kiyoko" "Don't go" "Go away, I'm not like my sisters" "Kiyoko doesn't like me at all?" "But I do like you" "Let me go" "I want to be with you" "It hurts" "Kiyoko, you came?" "You waited for a long time?" "I've been here for some time" "This is beautiful" "That's for sure" "Don't try to fool around here" "Kiyoko, don't you be so proud of yourself" "What's wrong with Tsunakichi?" "Yeah, he's good, you should marry him" "What did you say?" "You dare say it again!" "Wait, wait, don't be so angry" "What's the matter, Nuiko?" "What's wrong?" "How could Kiyoko say that?" "Mitsuko, please let me have a rest in this place" "What Nuiko tries to do would make our relationship even worse" "My heart and my body are both so tired" "Please be strong" "Sorry to give you troubles" "This rain should stop soon" "I didn't notice at all" "Where's your sister?" "She went to the market" "Thank you" "You're back" "I thought you must have forgotten about the clothes" "Kiyoko helped me" "Thank you" "The rain has stopped" "Brother, you were asleep?" "No, he was playing the piano, he plays it very well" "Congratulations brother, it's the first time someone said you play well" "What?" "Please come in, I'll put everything in order first" "Please take a seat" "Are you from Yamaguchi?" "No, from Tokyo, why ask?" "Your eyes are so pretty" "My sister said so too" "What did she say?" "Kiyoko is from Tokyo" "What did I say?" "You said her eyes are pretty" "My brother said only people from beautiful places would have such beautiful eyes" "I wanted to go there and have a look too" "Let's go together next time" "I love hiking very much" "You can carry all our luggage then" "You're a man, you should do that" "Please have some fruit" "Kiyoko, please don't mind, Tsubomi has very bad manners" "Our parents have both passed away" "My brother taught me all that" "How about your parents, Kiyoko?" "I have my mother and three siblings" "But I prefer being alone" "Why?" "Kiyoko, someone's looking for you" "I'll be there soon" "Please excuse me" "Come over if you have time" "Excuse me" "She's so gentle" "Mother" "Did Mitsuko come?" "Mitsuko?" "She's not at the shop, I couldn't find her" "She said she'd be here" "Tsunakichi always stays at her shop... like it was his own" "Are you listening to me?" "They always stay together" "I know" "He keeps asking about you too" "You sisters and brothers are not getting along well" "You all don't care about me" "Mother, let's have dinner together" "How would I have the mood to eat now?" "Please don't worry" "You're saying like it's nothing at all" "Mitsuko gets hurt easily" "It'll be fine" "How can you not care about it at all?" "She'll be alright" "Mitsuko is miserable enough..." "Also Nuiko and Ryuzo..." "I have so much to worry about" "Aren't you hot, mother?" "You wear kimono in this weather..." "I don't have time for things like that" "Ryuzo is no good either" "He always says wait till next time..." "What's so wrong with that?" "If I don't care about my daughters' lives, how can I be their mother?" "But Ryuzo is Nuiko's husband" "You're not responsible for him" "But I just can't leave it behind" "Sigh!" "Mother, don't you have a life of your own?" "You have to think for yourself" "What's the use of that?" "How do you know if you've never tried?" "You're always like that" "People should care about themselves" "Have you ever thought... how difficult it was to bring up all of you?" "If you knew it then you shouldn't give birth to me" "Mother" "Why would you have four sons and daughters all with different fathers?" "Ever since I was born," "I have to follow what they told me to do" "That's enough" "Don't talk about all those things in the past" "It's my fault, okay?" "It's difficult to bring up all of you" "Yes, you shouldn't have me right from the start" "I'm such an eyesore" "I shouldn't be born" "Now I'm being blamed at" "Alright, I don't want to see you cry" "Don't worry about me, think for yourself" "Don't be miserable like your mother" "Mother, it's alright..." "It's not worth it" "I always thought... you are the best child I have" "Mother, are my eyes beautiful?" "No" "Look, mother, my bank book" "Guess how much do I have" "4500 yen" "There used to be 7000, but I bought something" "Mother, let's make you some clothes for summer" "No, don't spend money on that" "Stay here for the night" "I'd better go back" "I'll walk you home" "Mother, take this" "You're going" "Sorry to bother you" "Please take care of my daughter" "You're making dolls..." "Mother" "Okay, okay, I'm leaving" "Mother, what?" "This cap looks like a medal" "What's on your mind?" "Right, what was I thinking?" "Oh yes..." "Mother," "I've seen father's medals" "Really?" "Your father was a good man"
