< HANAMIZUKI > - May your love bloom for a hundred years-
(Nova Scotia, Canada)
Where are you from?
Me? New York.
Are you by yourself?
Yes, I'm by myself.
Where are you going?
A light house.
Light house?
Yes, where I meant to be.
(Doto region, Hokkaido)
In love?
She was electrifying!
From a Tanbe girl? You're dreaming.
I'm not. I saw her in school uniform
on an early morning train.
Which school?
Kushiro Ryonan, I think.
What?
Forget it. We don't have the
brains to talk to her.
Oh, come on!
Brains don't matter, right?
That's right!
Fish and women are the same.
It's all in how you lay the trap.
You've got a long line of netting, right?
And one opening.
When she wanders in, you snag her!
Gotcha.
That would explain the salmon-faced
chick I saw Shu with.
Why you...!
I'm serious.
She ain't no salmon!
Hey! Get back to work!
Kohei! Your driver's test!
Damn! I forgot!
Bye, Mom!
Sae, your lunch!
I'm working tonight, remember?
Oh, yeah.
Go get 'em.
- I will. - Good luck!
Hi, Sae!
- School? - Yup.
- Milk? - No time.
Sae, don't go too fast!
I won't!
Morning Ryoko.
Can you give me a hand?
See!
Minami! Where're you going?
My grandma's.
Today's your big day.
Good luck. You'll pass for sure.
Thanks.
Sa... Sae.
Your attention, please!
I'm afraid we just hit a deer!
- A deer? - A deer?
He's huge.
Give it a pull.
Wait!
Don't go!
Wait!
In a hurry?
What?
Something important?
An exam.
An exam? Me too.
Really?
What time?
Ten.
Hello?
It's Kohei!
I need to borrow your phone!
He must be out in the fields. I'll check.
Wait!
Can you drive?
Huh? Uh, sure.
Maybe we could borrow this.
What?
You mean...
I can't be late.
Please. My life's on the line.
What about your exam? Will you make it?
Urn... probably.
Really? That's good.
Brakes!
I can't!
See!
Mom.
Are you hurt?
She's fine.
She was hurrying to school. But really, driving without a license?
What? You drove a car?
No, your daughter wasn't driving.
A boy from Fisheries High.
He had a learner's permit apparently.
But a permit's a permit. Not a driver's license.
Don't you ever do that again!
It was an emergency!
No excuse!
Kohei meant nothing wrong!
Nothing wrong?
Luckily, nobody got hurt but he stole a damn car!
Stop!
Your blood pressure!
Let go!
Calm down!
Recommendations aren't just based on grades,
but judgment as well.
I understand you were in a hurry.
But to take a ride...
from a Fisheries High School boy
with no driver's license?
About that...
Expelled.
Huh?
The boy.
He drove without a license, sped,
and then crashed the car he stole.
Let this be a warning. Stay away from those boys.
Sae.
Hey...
I was wondering how things went.
Your exam... what happened?
Wait, hold on a sec.
Talk to me.
I didn't get it.
What?
The recommendation for Waseda.
It went to another girl.
Oh.
How'd you get the bruise?
You didn't have to cover for me.
No, I just thought...
You said your life was on the line.
I've never been smart.
Getting expelled is no biggie.
It's a vacation. Lucky for me.
Give it another shot.
What?
The entrance exam is in February.
You seem smart enough...
It's not that easy.
It's too late.
It's too late to start now.
Stop your complaining.
You make it sound like it's the end of the world.
I thought you'd understand.
You want to study English at a Tokyo college.
But how serious are you if you're willing to give up so easily?
It's fine with me.
If you quit,
then I don't have to work nights earning tuition.
See!
What?!
Did you eat all of this sushi roll I had here?
Was I not supposed to?
With an appetite like that, you're obviously fine.
If you were truly depressed, the food wouldn't go down.
I can't eat.
How come?
Ever since I saw that girl.
You ate a sweet roll.
That's a snack. It doesn't count as real eating.
It's her!
The girl! From Kushiro Ryonan!
What?
Me? Does she want me?
I don't know. Go ask her yourself!
Hi.
I'm sorry for the other day.
It was all my fault.
No.
About the exam.
Yeah?
I'm going to try again.
Really?
I didn't want you to worry.
I'm not.
Also...
Yes?
Thanks for covering for me.
Wait.
Take these.
I wasn't sure if I should give them to you.
Why?
Why?!
Hey, Tamotsu! Come on!
Bye.
What's with him?
What is that?
Don't know.
Nothing weird, I hope.
What? Test drills?
Yeah.
(Sorry for all the trouble I caused.)
Terrible handwriting.
What's funny?
This is for high school.
Hey, yeah.
Cram school?
Yeah.
It's the only way I can catch up.
Then I'll find a job in Kushiro.
Why?
So we can go home together.
Over here!
Sorry!
We'd better hurry or we'll miss the train.
Since grade school?
Yeah.
The first time he took me on his boat, I was 9.
My grandpa was a legendary fisherman around here.
- Really? - Yes.
(Koei-Maru)
My dad named his boat
after my grandpa and me. He combined our names.
So you knew then you'd become a fisherman?
Call me a "gifted child."
Have you always wanted to go to college?
Since middle school when my teacher recommended it.
My mom supported it, too.
Your mom's a nurse?
Nurse-slash-barmaid-slash occasional karaoke singer.
That's impressive.
The karaoke's just for fun.
You're pretty heavy.
Brains in the butt, too?
Where are we going?
Not telling.
Why?
It's an abduction.
Tell me!
Nope.
Wow.
My favorite view of the sea.
I ran here as a kid when my dad was mad at me.
I'm a little jealous.
Why? He beat the crap out of me.
You saw my bruise.
Because I never got scolded by my dad.
No?
He died when I was 5.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
There's something nostalgic about this scenery.
Though it's my first time.
You cold?
Your hand's like ice.
What is this?
Tree seeds.
Seeds?
Look here.
You peel off the skin.
And plant the seeds in the soil.
Will something grow?
You bet.
Healthy little sprouts.
And someday flowers will bloom.
When?
I'm not sure.
I wonder how old you'll be when they do.
See?
What?
If I ever go somewhere far away...
I'll still watch over you.
Sae.
See?
Mom, you're home.
Brought a little souvenir... leftovers.
This is my mom. And this is me.
Where is this?
Canada.
Canada?
Yup. I was born in that town.
But I don't remember a thing about it.
My earliest memories are of living here in Hokkaido with mom.
And your dad?
I hear he went off to take photos and never returned.
That's how he was.
Except one thing.
On my fifth birthday...
the father I'd never seen returned home.
Why?
He'd learned of his illness.
Illness?
Yeah... cancer.
Someday.
Someday I'd like to see your birthplace.
Me, too.
Why?
Why, Tamotsu!?
We vowed we'd both be fishermen.
Well, I lost interest. That's all.
Where are you going to work?
His uncle's transport company in Kushiro.
What brought this on all of a sudden?
Jealousy.
Seeing you with Sae.
Man, you're slow.
Why throw it all away over that?
He's just impulsive.
He'll be back.
So is Sae going to test for a Tokyo university?
I see.
Hiroshi?
I think I'm a hypocrite.
I tell Sae I'm all for her getting into a university.
But I sometimes hope she'll fail.
Why?
Because. If she does, she might stay.
What?
What's so funny about that?
Don't piss me off.
(Waseda Acceptance Score: Poor)
The brother of a middle school friend...
just opened up a fancy restaurant in Suehiro.
He says he can get us a table for Christmas Eve.
I just got paid, too.
You could at least put down
the books when we're together.
It's the only time we have.
The test is soon.
I know.
No, you don't.
You've never studied for entrance exams before.
Then let's stop going home together.
I'll only distract you from your studies.
Take all the time you need.
Don't do that!
Don't just decide to leave.
You shouldn't have gotten off the train.
You want to catch a cold?
No...
I'm sorry.
The truth is...
I keep asking myself why I want to go to school in Tokyo.
If I stayed, then we could be together, right?
But I always end up realizing I have to do this.
Ever since I decided to go to college...
I've really never thought of anything else.
I can't quit now.
It would make me feel like a weak person.
Is that strange?
Nope.
Go for it, Sae.
Go master English...
and become a woman of the world.
Meanwhile... I'll become a man of the seas a master fisherman.
See!
What's wrong?
I passed.
I made it into Waseda.
You did?
I don't believe it. I thought I had no chance.
Come on.
I knew you would. I never doubted it for a moment.
Thanks!
Congratulations!
Aren't you going?
Where?
To see Sae off!
No.
Why not?
Leave him alone. He doesn't have to go.
You don't chase after an escaped fish.
Grow up, Shu.
People aren't fish!
The human heart is complicated.
Why are you here anyway, Tamotsu?
I thought you'd left us.
Well, I'm back.
Whatever.
I won't be an ass. Go see her off.
Sae's expecting you...
I said I'm not going!
Just drop it.
Take care, gramps.
Some food for the plane, Sae.
Wow, thanks!
This, too.
Thanks. Be good.
Sae... take care.
You too, Minami. Visit me anytime.
I plan to.
I already got tickets for Golden Week.
I'll be waiting.
Time to go.
Take good care of yourself.
And you'd better eat right.
All right. Just go.
This is what you wanted, remember?
Mom?
What?
Thank you.
Good luck.
I remember when I was 20.
I drove your mother to the airport just like this.
She told me she was going overseas to be with your father.
She kept it secret from her parents.
I tried to stop her.
But she wouldn't listen.
"Uncle Masato?"
What?
You liked my mom, didn't you?
What did that matter?
Plus, I could never tell her.
Too scared?
Yeah. But that moment was different.
It was my last chance.
Don't go, I love you! I love you! Don't go!
I screamed that in my head all the way to the airport.
Stop the car!
Please pull over!
Kohei
Kohei!
(Good luck, Sae!)
Sae, good luck!
Good luck, Sae!
Thanks! I'll write!
Okay!
See you soon! See you!
Let's go.
You like photography?
I took these. What do you think?
I'm not joining any clubs.
You wouldn't need a camera.
You could model.
32"-23"-32"?
Give me your number.
I don't have the time.
Nor the money. I have to find part-time work.
Hey, I know a great job for you!
What?
$20 an hour,
4 days a week.
It's an evening job, though.
Excuse me.
Refill.
This came for you today.
Why didn't you tell me?
Give it!
Dust!
Hey!
You eating or not?
Hello?
It's me.
Kohei.
Just testing out the phone number you sent me.
Thanks. You're my first caller.
Really? Good.
How are you?
Good. You?
Me, too. Where are you?
Public phone by the wharf.
We go out real early these days.
We're all in bed by 8 p.m.
Wow.
Wow what?
I missed that Hokkaido accent.
What do you mean? I don't have an accent.
Not funny.
It is.
Stop laughing.
1582 is a important date
which I remember this way...
My 15-inch shorts have 82 berries.
It's important for the Battle of Tenmokuzan...
and the Battle of Yamazaki.
Keep these two together in your head.
I use the money I earn here
to go take pictures overseas.
What about school?
I wish you hadn't asked.
I'm in my 6th year.
You take lots of photos of kids.
Yes, I have the pure mind of a child.
You're supposed to laugh.
Oh... okay.
These are all school photos.
The facial expressions are great.
Beautiful smiles.
This is Hirasawa. I can't come to the phone right now.
At the tone, please leave your name and a message.
It's no use pleading your case.
The fishing co-op won't budge.
There must be a way, Chief.
Please.
Look, Ken.
You're not the only one whose catch is down these past few years.
The whole port is hurting.
I understand.
I promise to make good on my debt.
Give me another shot at it.
Please.
Ritsuko, bring two cups of tea.
Coming.
Let's talk back here.
Kohei.
Where's your work slip?
You're slowing things down.
Sorry. I'll get right on it.
Hiroshi, does Kohei seem a little out of it to you?
Girlfriend.
She decided to stay in Tokyo over the summer.
Busy with work, apparently.
Work? I doubt it.
Why?
She's found another guy.
A Tokyo college girl
in a long distance relationship with a country fisherman?
You like Kohei?
What?
You do.
Don't make me laugh. He's not my type.
How about me, then?
Not a chance.
Hey Kohei!
You okay?
Never space out on the boat.
Or you'll lose your life.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Take care.
So you're the young fisherman?
Quite handsome at that.
So tell me.
Tell you what?
Your long-distance relationship.
How's it going?
Not sure.
She's been pretty busy with her job.
She's not returning for summer.
If you dilly dally, you'll lose her to a Tokyo boy.
Um...
What?
Is it okay for a mother to say that about her daughter?
She's young. What do you expect?
You can't grow into a good woman without 1 or 2 romances.
I don't mind...
if it's you or a Tokyo boy.
I want her to experience love...
and pursue it without regret.
If you're serious about her...
you should be on the attack
trying to bring her back here.
You only live once, you know.
And for some people life can be very short.
Excuse me.
(Waseda Station at 5.)
Still early yet.
Did you book the restaurant?
I did.
Romantic reunion, huh? Good luck.
Good luck.
Thanks. See ya.
Seeing someone special?
No comment.
Spin it!
Cut it out!
No way.
Why not?
Kohei.
I've wanted to come here.
Yeah?
My friends tell me it's cheap
but the food's great.
Really?
It was hard getting the reservation.
Oh.
By the way...
your Christmas present.
Thanks.
Why are you angry?
What? I'm not angry.
Yes, you are.
I'm not.
I've been dying to see you, you know.
I was so looking forward to this. So why?
You think I haven't been, either?
I'm leaving.
Kohei.
Kohei, wait!
Kohei.
Ow! Get back here, punk!
Dork!
Let's just go.
Get off of me!
Piss off!
Kohei.
Stop, please!
Help, somebody!
Kohei!
Come in.
Let me turn on the heater.
Wipe your face.
Let's disinfect your wound.
I'm not finished.
I missed you.
I missed you so much.
Did I wake you?
No.
What's that?
Well...
your Christmas present.
You made it?
Tokyo has everything.
I wasn't sure what to give you.
This is my dream boat.
"Good luck, Sae!"
Thanks.
Thank you, Kohei.
Thank you for this.
Kohei?
What?
Even apart...
we're okay, right?
Of course.
My feelings won't change.
Ever.
Forever.
I promise.
You're a senior, right?
Yes.
No offers yet?
No.
It's getting a little late in the game, don't you think?
It says here you hope to work overseas
and use your English.
Yes.
In that case, I'd advise studying abroad
or looking for work overseas.
See!
Over here!
Long time, no see!
New York?
Yeah. I'm leaving now.
I plan to stay at a friend's place for a while, and take photos.
Sounds wonderful.
Hardly.
Know what?
What?
I'm lost.
What?
I've been applying for jobs since last year, but nothing.
With all the companies in this town, nothing.
I put my mother through
such hardship for this.
Why am I in Tokyo?
I don't know, either.
What?
What am I working for?
Why take pictures?
What do I really want?
But... don't torture yourself.
There's more to life than working in Tokyo.
Take care.
What is it, Dad?
Take a seat.
I'm sorry.
Dad.
I'm really sorry.
Hello?
Sae? Were you up?
Yeah. What's wrong?
I wanted to hear your voice.
How was the interview
with the trading company?
Rejected again.
Oh. That stinks.
Sure does.
I'm sorry.
What? Is something wrong?
Kohei?
Sae...
I'm thinking...
of quitting fishing.
What?
My dad told me last night.
We're selling the boat.
When my dad heard I wanted to succeed him...
he borrowed money from the fishing co-op to buy the boat.
That debt has grown too big.
My dad plans to sell the boat and work for someone else.
But I...
I want to be with you.
I can find work there. I promise.
I want to live with you, Sae.
Something this important...
is hard for me to answer.
Not right away.
You abandoning this town?
We vowed we'd both become fishermen!
What does Tokyo have?
Move.
No!
You bailing out on your dad? So you can be with Sae!
You have no idea how I feel!
You have no idea!
Damn right, I don't!
Let me go!
No way!
Knock it off!
It's our last day out.
Go get ready.
Kohei.
Remember how I opposed your
going to Fisheries High School?
Yeah.
I didn't expect that.
When you said you'd inherit the business...
I felt so proud.
You know that.
Kohei.
Fishing isn't everything.
Find your own path, Son.
What happened?
Come quick! The captain!
What is it?
Captain!
You all right, Captain?
Captain!
Hiroshi, a blanket!
Call for help! Hurry!
Reel in the net!
Kohei, give me a hand!
What happened?
Ken's down! Heart attack, I think!
Ritsuko, call his wife!
Okay.
Get moving!
Captain!
Come on!
Hang in there!
Dad.
Dad!
Sae, I think...
God is punishing me...
for wanting...
to quit fishing.
And for...
abandoning the sea.
And now...
he's gone.
My dad...
overworked himself for me.
Sae...
I can't leave.
I can't go to Tokyo.
I have my mom...
and sister to care for.
Okay.
You were...
meant for the sea, Kohei.
You're right.
I knew from the start...
that I wasn't a part...
of your future.
What?
Sae.
Listen.
You've got to...
chase your dream.
Good-bye.
"Good luck, Sae!"
Shu? You leaving.
I just visited Captain's grave.
Ma'am.
Thank you for everything.
Kohei.
See ya.
Come on you guys, cheer up!
Stop your moping!
Kohei!
I'm not moping.
Yes, you are.
Let him be. He likes stewing in
self-pity over the girl he lost.
That's not all I stew about.
You've got to learn to break with the past.
Or you'll never move forward.
Who're you to talk?
Tamotsu's found a girl.
Only in his dreams.
It's true. I even told her I liked her.
And wouldn't you know it? The feeling was mutual.
Impossible. Who'd ever want you?
Awake?
Where is everybody?
They went home.
Don't catch a cold.
You okay, Kohei?
It's painful to see you this way.
Want a drink?
Kohei?
Kohei.
What do you mean?
No, I told you that the deadline was yesterday.
Okay then, make sure you make it by 5pm today.
Yes, 5pm, okay?
Thank you.
I was gonna help with the job.
I get used to these kind of trouble.
Here's the information for today's interview.
I'm off.
Okay, good luck.
She has been working very hard.
Yea, she's really changed a lot from last year.
(New York)
Sae, don't work too hard or else you'll burn out.
But I have a deadline to meet.
What a surprise. Welcome back.
Thanks, I'm back!
Oh my God, Jun! Welcome back.
Welcome back!
Yum.
Big appetite.
I didn't eat very well over there.
But I'll eat anything here.
Anything, huh?
No, no, no.
Your cooking especially.
So how was Cambodia? Take any good photos?
Loads of them.
I'm taking them to newspapers.
Can I help you develop them?
Please.
Yes!
What?
You're smiling a lot.
Not like when you first arrived.
Really?
The anguish was written all over your face.
You came here on your own, found a place to live.
You could've asked for my help.
Sorry.
I probably wouldn't have been much help, anyway.
When I first saw you here in New York, though...
you seemed different, too.
How so?
You seemed so alive.
On that morning...
I was standing right here when the buildings came down.
So terrifying.
I was shaking.
This means war, I thought.
Not that I'm anyone special.
But I needed to do something.
Maybe there was something I could convey through my photos.
I see.
I've nothing to show for it yet...
but I really like your photos.
So if I can assist...
Sae.
Yes?
You don't have to be so formal with me.
I risked life and limb to come and see you.
Always exaggerating.
You're not supposed to laugh here.
What?
Sae.
Marry me.
Minami.
See!
Congratulations.
Thanks for coming.
You look beautiful.
Really? I went on a crash diet to wear this.
It's gorgeous.
You look so sophisticated... like a New Yorker.
Minami?
My relatives are here in droves.
Congratulations.
You live in New York, right?
Wow.
Fluent in English?
No way. Still struggling.
Come on.
It's true.
Let's talk later.
Kohei.
Thanks.
Look at all these people.
How's Tamotsu?
Nervous as hell.
How've you been?
Good.
Ritsuko... my wife. I got married.
I heard... from Minami.
I see.
Hello.
I'm Sae Hirasawa.
Ritsuko Kiuchi. How do you do?
Ritsuko! Quick meeting on the party afterwards!
Okay, already. Please excuse me.
She's always like that. Not very social.
She's sure helped out a lot at home, though.
I see.
You look well.
You, too. You look hardier.
Hardly. Just turning into an old man.
So you live in New York?
Yeah.
So you came all this way.
Yup.
I see.
How's work?
Never gets any easier.
But I'm hanging in there.
Oh.
Yeah.
See?
Nothing.
Your attention, please. We present the bride and groom!
Whenever he gets nervous, his right arm and leg move together.
You're right.
Sae's come back.
The food is skimpy.
We're not getting our money's worth.
Join me in a drink?
Sure. Why not.
It's been a while since you were home. And I've got some news.
What?
It's a little embarrassing.
Tell me.
I received a marriage proposal!
No! Who?
I can't tell you that.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
Soy sauce was...
on sale in Nakabetsu.
Thanks.
I'll do that, Mom. You sit and rest.
Thanks.
Where's Kohei?
Went out in his truck.
Went where?
He didn't say. The wharf, maybe.
Oh.
I thought of taking it overseas with me.
I may not return to Japan again.
In New York for good, huh?
Yes.
I'm still working like a part-timer.
But I have bigger plans.
What's more...
I may be getting married.
I see. Congratulations.
Thanks.
An American?
Japanese.
I assume...
the man you're marrying...
is a good guy?
Good.
I'm glad.
You went and fulfilled your dream.
Hardly. Just getting started.
You spoke with an accent.
I'm glad I came back.
To be able to talk to you like this.
I'm glad.
Here's fine.
Thanks.
Take care of yourself.
You, too.
Sae.
Be happy.
Kohei.
Where've you been?
Where were you all this time, Kohei?
Drinking with Hiroshi.
Hiroshi called.
Everyone's looking for you.
Nobody could reach you on
your cell phone.
Bad news.
The fishing co-op won't be lending
us any more money.
Bankruptcy is all that's left.
What were you doing at a time like this?
What were you doing?
Hi I'm back.
How was Japan?
It was great.
Thanks for giving me a vacation, George.
This is from Junichi.
What?
The project that he's waiting for had came in.
Big great for him.
Thank you.
(Dear Sae... sudden job from a newspaper.)
(Will be gone a while.)
(Will anxiously await your answer to)
(my proposal when I return.)
What? A love letter?
Jesse...
We would probably get married after he gets back.
Oh my god! You're getting marry?
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you!
Congratulations!
(Debt Rescheduling Pledge)
That'll do it.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Kohei!
It's all over.
Kohei.
Let me drive you to the station.
We're okay. Hurry and go see Ritsuko.
Kohei.
I'm so thankful...
for all you've done.
I'm back.
Ritsuko.
Ristuko!

We interrupt this program for late-breaking news.
The body of a Japanese photojournalist
has been found near Karbala in Iraq...
apparently shot and killed by armed militant forces in the region.
The victim was a freelance Japanese photojournalist in New York.
Junichi Kitami, 31.
He entered Iraq on the 20th and
was traveling by car alone.
(Two Years Later)
Thank you.
Thanks for coming to Junichi Kitami memorial exhibition.
As you all know, Junichi loves freedom,
art, humor. And was loved by everyone.
When I was lost in my life, he lighted my way.
After experiencing 9/11 here in New York,
He found his purpose in art.
Which was to photograph the beautiful smiles of children in war zone.
I still remember how he always used to say.
Even though these children lived in horrific situations.
They have the most lively gorgeous eyes.
And it's my calling to show,
what life behind the smile.
He lost his life in Iraq in May 2003.
But I truly believed Junichi is still with us.
I hope he and his message will continue live in your heart.
Thank you for loving and supporting Junichi.
It was a honor to know you Junichi.
Thanks you, Junichi.
Thank you all for your coming!
You surprised me just showing up like this.
Well I had to. You hadn't been home in 2 years!
Sorry to worry you.
He seemed a great man.
Huh?
Mr. Kitami.
You can tell by his photographs.
That was a nice speech you gave.
I bet Mr. Kitami was real pleased.
You think?
Of course. Look how much you did.
So far from home. And all on your own.
You've come a long way.
Really.
You make me so proud.
Listen, Sae.
If you ever want to come home, you're always welcome.
You'll find the home and yard just the way you left it.
Thanks.
But...
I'll need some time to think.
Time alone.
(Good luck, Sae!)
This ship is...
A Japanese guy left it here few days ago.
A Japanese guy?
A young fisherman.
A big tuna boat came to the port for supplies.
A tuna boat...?
He said the original owner of this ship was born here.
He might still be at the port.
Kohei!
Shovel to the mouth.
I know.
See!
Welcome home!
Thanks.
See!
When did you guys take these pictures?
At my age, I was so embarrassed to do it.
What's to be embarrassed about?
It's a commemoration.
Isn't that a fine-looking woman?
Yes.
That's enough. The end.
"Uncle Masato?"
Way to go. You won your first love.
Yeah.
This has turned into a lonely town.
Really?
Everybody's moved away.
Hiroshi moved to Nemuro.
We're all that remains.
How's Kohei?
We're not too sure.
His mother and sister are living with relatives in Obihiro.
Kohei and Ritsuko split up.
He said he was looking for work and just left.
But knowing Kohei, I'm sure he's fine.
Yeah, he'd better be or else.
Welcome.
(Marry me)
I've had it with fishermen.
I quit.
What?
I lied. What else can I do?
128 yen.
I get off at 6.
What?
Wait in the parking lot.
Oh, okay. Sure!
Keep the change.
I'll be waiting.
Welcome.
The colors are gorgeous this year.
This tree has grown big.
Yeah.
He was so impulsive.
Huh?
Your father. He really was.
You know what he last said to me?
I'm so glad I met you.
Thanks for having Sae.
And thanks for sticking with me to the end.
Oh.
That was enough.
We're lucky, you and me.
Your father's been watching over us all this time.
Yeah.
Kohei?
Sae.
This.
(Thank)
Did you write this?
