Thank you, Goodbye,
Welcome back,
Who's over there?
How much money is needed for retirement?
The country says you need 20 million yen for retirement,
How could that possibly be enough?
Because the 20 million yen doesn't include the cost of care and medical expenses,
How much money is needed for retirement?
Care expenses,
For families in the middle class,
Mortgage,
How much money do you really need for retirement?
For example, if you have two children at home,
If they get married and have kids,
As parents, we'll definitely provide them with financial support,
Helping the children,
Funeral expenses,
In a hundred years of life, as long as you're alive, you'll spend money,
In short, one sentence: You need 40 million yen for retirement,
40 million?
I don't have that,
Hey,
What?
I Don’t Have Any Money Left in My Retirement Account,
Big brother,
How's Dad doing?
Husband, Akira, came to see you,
If Dad doesn't make it through tonight,
The wake will be the day after tomorrow,
The funeral is scheduled for the day after the wake, What do you think, big brother?
Hmm,
Also, can I ask big brother to be the main mourner?
Mom is already very tired, I want to make it easier for her when she's saying her final farewell,
What does the main mourner do?
Just greet people and such,
Husband,
Let's go see the cherry blossoms again,
Also, the funeral expenses,
I want big brother to bear them,
Asking us to be the main mourners, so that's what it means,
That's right, In our family, up until now,
The gifts for the doctors and nurses at the recuperation
apartment cost quite a bit,
Dad and them, they sure know how to spend money,
But our family also sends 90,000 yen every month,
That's not much compared to what our family spends, right?
For so long,,,
All these little expenses from various places, we haven't even included them,
Yeah, that's true,
Sorry about that,
Brother, you're a man, after all,
It's normal not to be able to process things like this quickly,
The funeral will be held in Asakusa,
We've already contacted the funeral company,
Is that so? Thanks for taking care of everything throughout,
that's all there is to it about funerals
Still alive, right?
Mr, Goto, please come to the hospital room quickly,
Dad?
What did you say?
He couldn't eat more than three Botan cakes,
Dad,
Confirmed the time of death as 16:27,
We have to arrange the funeral,
Brother said he'll take care of everything,
Oh,
Near Asakusa, old customers and old friends will all come,
Akira
We must hold a funeral that lives up to the reputation of the Ururido family,
Do I also have to attend the funeral?
Of course,
I have a part-time job this weekend,
Sorry, but let's skip the part-time job,
Your grandpa passed away, right?
Let's eat first,
Ah, how about pork and bean sprout hotpot?
Are you okay?
I'm fine, living to 90 is a decent old age, isn't it?
About that,
i want to talk to you about the funeral,
Do we really have to cover all the funeral expenses?
How much savings do we have at home?
Savings, 7,030,206 yen,
A little over 7 million,
only 7 million?
Yes,
I thought we had around 20 million,
Critics say,
Once you reach 65, you can't survive without 40 million yen in pension,
40 million, huh?
We have the house, in case of emergencies, we can sell it,
What are you saying?
Selling the house is absolutely not possible,
It's a last resort, right?
Akira, have you not looked at the property information online?
It'll be heavily discounted when we sell,
First, we haven't even finished paying the mortgage,
and the land value has dropped over 10 million from when we bought it,
Really?
Where can you find a couple in their 50s
with only 7 million yen in savings?
But Yuuto has settled into his job,
How much money will it actually cost cost to organize the funeral?
Ah, about that,,,
Can you handle the meeting with the funeral company tomorrow?
Me?
My company isn't in a good situation right now, I can't take a day off,
Please, I'm begging you,
Geez,
Sorry for your loss,
Now let's get to the point,
Please start by choosing a casket,
Casket?
Yes,
Well, in the end, it's something that'll be cremated, right?
Many customers choose this casket,
It's white,
Um, about the caskets,,,
Is it really possible to judge the price based on appearance alone?
Generally, it's hard to tell,
But,,,
but
To someone with a discerning eye, it's obvious at a glance,
Um,,,
May I ask how many people chose the 40,000 yen option?
To be honest, none of the customers I've dealt with chose that one,
I see,
Then, I'll go with the 120,000 yen option,
Alright,
Next, we need to choose an altar,
Painted Altar E
the most popular choice,
What?
The 300,000 yen one will do,
Madam, do you really think this altar is suitable?
In my opinion, even though we're closed now, when you mention Asakusa's Ururido
that's been in business since the Meiji era for traditional Japanese sweets,
it's on a completely different level than the newly opened bean cake shops nearby,
True,
And those elderly folks attending the funeral have been to many funerals before,
they can tell the quality of the altar at a glance,
Funerals, indeed,
It's a summation of the deceased's life experiences,
What kind of life was it? How will family remember and commemorate?
What sort of ending will the life have?
- The ending, - yes, the ending,
We must hold a funeral that upholds the esteemed reputation of the Kiritani family,
Even for families of lower status than Mr, Goto,
many will choose the 2 million option,
I heard there will be over 300 attendees at the funeral,
I'll reserve our company's largest hall for you,
If the altar is too simple,
it won't be dignified enough, right?
That's true,
but
But 1,2 million is also,,,
But for the deceased,
You must have received quite a bit of condolence money,
Even if some of it goes towards return gifts
there should be enough left to cover the funeral expenses,
Condolence money,
I understand,
Let's go with the 1,2 million option then,
Based on that, the coffin is 120,000 yen, the altar 1,2 million yen,,,
The urn is 50,000 yen, memorial photo 120,000 yen,
The total comes to 3,3 million yen,
Here's the estimate, please take a look,
When was this printed?
Please sign here,
Um,
can we have a little discount?
If we do that, it would be disrespectful to the Buddha,
Goto Shoichi Funeral Venue,
Wow, this venue is huge!
Of course,
it's the memorial ceremony for the Kiritani family, the owners of Asakusa and Kiritani store,
Dad,
Oh, you've worked hard,
Did we come too early?
Is everyone feeling well?
That's great,
Let's go,
The number of people who came is so few,
Shh,
Gift money: 420,000 Japanese yen,
Return gift: 210,000 Japanese yen,
Funeral expenses: 3,300,000 Japanese yen,
Temple name money: 800,000 Japanese yen,
Lost 3,89 million yen,
So, let's start with the breathing exercise,
Focus your gaze on one point,
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath,
Inhale deeply,
Exhale,
Stretch your body in one breath,
Alright, relax,
Next is the Lion Pose,
Miss Goto, Miss Goto,
Bend a little more,
Please stick out your tongue vigorously,
Miss Kanda, you're doing great,
Thank you,
Speaking of the funeral, was it lavish?
It's a long story,
Only 30 people attended the funeral,
They said it was friends of the father-in-law, old customers from the store,
Some have passed away, some are in nursing homes, and some are bedridden,
You can imagine how it turned out,
The venue was empty, It was a big failure,
In the end, how much did it cost?
It ended up costing about 4 million,
Oh, that much?
How was your mother's funeral in May?
When my mom was still alive, she said,
"Even if I die, don't spend any money,"
No funeral, no temple name, no gift money,
In the end, it was less than 300,000 yen,
Truly a model of parents, right?
Parents usually consider their children and don't want to be a burden to them, right?
Ah, I'm sorry,
It's okay, it's okay,
Just as you said, 100% correct,
Extend outwards, good,
Look, it's great,
I recommend this vacuum cleaner
because it's easy and convenient to handle garbage,
Wait, wait, kid,
Kid, stop, don't pull that,
Mom's going to get mad,
Stop it!
Kid, stop!
It hurts!
That'll make him reflect,
You little brat!
Ms, Goto, the store manager is calling you,
Alright,
You're finally becoming a full-time employee,
Really?
Yeah, about your hair,,,
Ah, I understand,
No problem,
I'm going now,
Excuse,
Ah, Miss Goto Atsuko,
I am,
Your contract is expiring this month,
But isn't this about the formal employment?
No, it's the contract that's expiring,
You've worked hard so far,
You too, you too,
Hey,
This world is really unfair,
Well, anyway, they're short-handed everywhere,
You'll definitely find a good job,
Will there be good jobs at this age?
There's only 3 million left in savings,
Savings: 3,109,002 yen,
If something else happens, it'll be a real crisis,
Akira, don't get sick,
Hey, don't say that,
Suddenly, I don't feel very well,
Because you're too weak,
Tea?
Hmm,
Okay,
Ah, that hurts, Ah, that's comfortable,
Is it pork and bean sprout hot pot again today?
Don't talk about luxurious things,
This is the cheapest and most nutritious option,
I'm starting,
Mayumi, you should eat some vegetables too,
Feels like my body's calling for meat,
Just like a middle school boy,
Actually, there's something important I need to say,
I got fired from the part-time job,
No, it's something even better,
Did you win the lottery?
If I did, I wouldn't say it,
What is it then?
Can you call him here?
Nice to meet you,
I am Matsudaira Takuma
A small token of our appreciation,
We,,,
are getting married,
Dumplings,
dumpling,
If the uncle and aunt kiss each other,
the dentures are causing quite a stir,
If they take a bath together,
heart attack, and off to the ambulance,
Let's go to the grave together,
Love each other to the bone,
Even in the afterlife, still holding each other,
Tombstone, tombstone, tombstone,
What you're saying now is,
even the skin we share,
Dumplings, dumplings,
Takuma's band, isn't it great?
Indeed,
where did you two meet?
At a manga convention,
Manga?
We fell in love at first sight,
Among 100,000 people, only Mayumi was shining,
She truly emits a charming aura,
Um, about your job,
can it be called a musician?
In my opinion,
I prefer the term "band member,"
So, what's the income?
1,5 million,
Monthly?
No, annual,
What do your parents do for a living?
They run a dumpling shop in Gyoza,
Dumplings?
Matsumoto Dumplings,
When it comes to Matsukin Dumplings in Gyoza,
everyone knows about it,
That's because my dad is a well-known local entrepreneur,
So, the wedding is going to be grand at Azabu Kotobukien?
Azabu Kotobukien,
Yes,
Isn't that the Azabu Juban Gardens where they hold weddings for famous people like kabuki actors and professional baseball players?
Yes, exactly,
Well, Grandfather just passed away recently,
Shouldn't we consider postponing the wedding?
Right, Akira, right?
Ah, well, yeah,
So, the wedding is set for six months from now, Should we go ahead and register immediately?
No, no, no need to rush on that matter,
We've already decided on the house we'll be living in together,
What?
Mom, if you're not eating the dumplings, give them to me,
Sis, you've been eating a lot lately,
Oh, that's because it's a portion for two,
Hey,
How much does it cost to have a wedding at Azabu Kotobukien anyway?
Can't we just have a simple wedding?
Let's help her with the wedding,
The in-laws are also on board with the idea,
If we're too stingy, it'll be tough on Mayumi,
But we don't have that much money,
I'm finally going to be a grandmother,
Mayumi,
What's so great about that guy?
Atsuko, what do you think is great about me?
Forgot,
Let's just buy a remote control,
It's wasteful,
Alright then,
Take care, all of you,
If there's anything, contact me immediately,
I'll leave it to you, Takuma,
Alright,
I've got it covered,
Let's go then,
Hmm,
Oh, wait a second,
Did this fall? Is it okay?
Ah, it's fine,
Mayumi, do you still want the teddy bear?
No, I don't need it anymore, I won't be lonely with you,
Let's just leave it here,
I guess it was a birthday gift for her when she was three years old,
From the shoulders, slowly down the back, and then lower to the waist,
Got it,
Next is the happy baby pose,
Release all the stress,
Once the stress is released, don't be shy anymore, Open your legs,
Mrs Goto, Mrs Kanda, well done,
Perfect,
Very beautiful,
Thank you,
Very beautiful,
Azabu Kotobukien,
We've met with the other parents before,
They said we need to spend at least 6 million,
Even splitting it, that's still 3 million,
Goodbye,
Thanks for your hard work,
Goodbye,
You've spent too much, haven't you?
Well, in this situation, the other parents are really concerned about appearances,
It's not easy to become in-laws with wealthy people,
Have you ever indulged yourself?
Apart from this yoga class, maybe bowling,
You go bowling alone?
Yes, alone,
If you only play one type of game, it doesn't cost much,
and it helps relieve stress,
How did the money disappear like that?
Gave 90,000 yen to my mother-in-law, Food expenses: 35,875 yen, Phone bill: 25,219 yen, Gasoline: 4,500 yen, Daily necessities: 9,586 yen, Transportation: 9,000 yen, Yoga, monthly: 5,000 yen, Utility bill: 28,301 yen, Mortgage: 125,569 yen, Residential tax: 21,800 yen, Property tax: 39,224 yen, Total expenses: 424,507 yen,
Hey,
Atsuko, I'm sorry,
What's wrong?
The company went bankrupt,
What?
The market hasn't been good recently,
and we've been operating at a loss for years,
Wait, wait,
Stay calm,
We should have received a pension, right?
We didn't,
It went bankrupt, and we won't get a single cent,
pension?
The pension was 20 million yen,
They didn't give you?
Atsuko, I'm sorry, What should I do now?
Akira,
What
Where are you now?
Near the company,
Akira, there's no other way,
Ah,
For dinner tonight, I made oden, your favorite,
Come home early,
Don't worry too much,
There will definitely be a solution,
I'll be waiting for you to come home,
Alright, I understand,
Oh,
I won!
Can I have another fish cake?
Sure, go ahead,
I never thought that after both of us being over 50, we'd both lose our jobs,
I was even thinking of using the next bonus to go to a hot spring together,
We've been married for 30 years,
I'm thinking of not going to the yoga class anymore, It's too extravagant,
If you don't go to yoga, you'll lose contact with May,
And the tuition is only 5,000 yen per month,
Go ahead and attend, Everything will be fine,
I know,
By the way, they really put a lot of stuff in oden,
Just letting you know,
the next 3 days will be all about oden,
I love eating oden,
I'm back,
Welcome back,
What happened? Did something good happen?
Wow, you won? Impressive!
I'm starting to eat,
Mm, let's eat,
How's everything? Why did you come back, Sister?
Of course, I'll come back, This is my parents' home,
Oh, eating oden today? I'll take some home too,
Alright, what do we have at home?
I'm coming in,
By the way, Mayumi,,,
What's wrong?
About your wedding,,,
What's the matter?
How about simplifying the wedding or cutting down on a few outfits?
Are we out of money?
Dad and Mom,,,
Both lost their jobs,
What?
Seriously?
What do we do now?
These scallops are from the Okhotsk Sea,
Red king crabs are quite expensive,
Let me tell you,
Sister, as an informal worker and an independent band member,
isn't having a wedding at Azabu Kotobukien a bit extravagant?
And the expenses are being covered entirely by the parents,
Isn't their family the one that wanted it to be grand?
Why don't they contribute more?
Or maybe, Sister, do you also want it to be that extravagant?
I'll tell you, marriage isn't just about two people,
You, a little brat who knows nothing about the harsh world, should just keep quiet,
And what right do you have to say this?
Beautiful,
Welcome,
Here,
Excuse me,
welcome,
I'm here to help you,
Sorry,
That'll be 1,214 yen in total,
Thank you,
- Thank you for visiting, - It's been a while,
It hurts,
No, I can't take it anymore,
Let me treat you,
Thank you,
How's it going? Are you getting used to it?
Mr Lauren
I can get a raise after a few months of work, right?
Ms, Goto, the premise is that you perform your job well,
We no longer need you, so let's cancel the contract,
Is this for real?
- Yes, thank you very much, - Let's discuss this further,
Renting a mop costs 2,000 yen,
No need, no need, no need,
We really don't need it anymore, no need,
The most we can offer is this price,
Do we really have to sell it?
Selling the car brings in 180,000 yen,
It's so cold, freezing,
We don't have money,
Replacing the water heater costs 320,000 yen,
Toilet repair costs 13,000 yen,
Monthly expenses: 807,507 yen,
In Lotto 7, someone bought 3 tickets and won 2,8 billion, hey!
By the way,,,
Tomorrow is the day to give the mother-in-law the support money,
We can't come up with this 90,000 now,
If we don't, the monthly expenses for Mom's care apartment won't be a small amount,
Does the mother-in-law really have no savings?
Didn't she sell the land in Asakusa at a high price?
To move into a care apartment, it costs 30 million yen per person,
Adding the monthly expenses, it's about 200,000 yen per person,
The two of us went on a trip abroad, ate and drank, We definitely don't have any money now,
Can you please tell Shizuko that we can't give 90,000 per month anymore?
Or maybe you should go tell her,
I'll make the call then,
Okay,
Alright,
Hmm,
Hey, Atsuko, could you please not tell them about my unemployment situation right away?
I understand,
please, I'm counting on you,
This parking space is really small,
Can't get through here,
Can't believe we can't get through,
How come you can't pay the support money?
Please,
Actually,,,
Both of us are unemployed,
Hey, hey,
Is this for real, big brother?
Well, sort of,
But with your work experience, you'll find a job quickly, right?
You should've received unemployment benefits, right?
Yes, I did, Of course,
So, you can still come up with the 90,000, right?
But 90,000 isn't a small amount for our family,
Even so, are you planning to shirk your duties as children?
Our parents have already spent so much on us,
But our family paid for all the expenses for Grandfather's funeral,
Originally, it's the duty of the eldest son, your brother, to support our parents,
Such notions about the eldest son are outdated,
Eldest son is still eldest son,
You might not understand,
When we were kids, Mom and Dad always favored him because he's the eldest,
That's not true,
I was always overlooked,
And, the down payment for this house, your brother paid for it,
We know about that too,
But the reality is, our family is really short on money now,
How about moving Grandma to a cheaper care apartment?
Where is this cheaper place?
Where?
You clearly haven't considered Mom's feelings, that's why you're saying such irresponsible things,
How can you say something like that?
Oh my goodness, I thought devilish wives only existed in TV dramas,
To think they exist in real life, and right by my side, it's truly terrifying,
That,,,
It's not for me, it's for you,
I understand, We'll take care of Grandma,
What did you say?
That way, we won't have to pay the 90,000 support fee, right?
That would be really great,
Let's go with that then, okay, Shizuko?
So,
from now on, you'll be paying us the 90,000 support fee, no problem, right?
What?
Hey, hey, Atsuko,
Alright, then it's up to you to take care of Mom,
Alright,
I want to make this clear upfront,
There's no refund after breaking the contract with the care apartment,
The rule is, you get a full refund only after 15 years of residency,
I see,
Additionally, Mom only drinks Zenran tea and only eats bread from Mezonkaiza's,
If she's coming to our house, she'll have to adapt to our lifestyle,
First things first,
taking care of Mom isn't a small task like looking after a pet, you know,
Oh, is this all the luggage you have?
I've always been a fan of traveling light,
Hey,
Hello,
We're from the Art Service Moving Center,
Can we start working now?
Sure, please go ahead,
Alright,
Hey,
Oh no,
This, this,,,
Are all these Grandma's luggage?
This one needs to go to the second floor,
So many things, you could open a second-hand store with them,
I canceled the lease on two warehouses I rented before, that's why there's so much stuff,
Please put this Maneki-neko (lucky cat) at the entrance, and forget about the rest,
This one, though, no matter what,,,
This one has been the guardian since the establishment of Koritou,
Only this, I won't part with it even if I die,
Atsuko,
what's the matter?
Can you come over for a moment?
Sure,
I'm so tired,
Sorry to disturb you,
Take this, you can use it,
We receive 60,000 yen in pension every month,
The password is 4444,
A little gift from Yoshino's little good boy,
Grandma, I can't accept this,
Thank you,
Little good boy,
Alright, little good boy,
Kitty kitty, good kitty,
Hey, my mom is quite nice,
Honestly, that 60,000 yen is a big help,
We don't have to pay that 90,000 anymore,
And we also get 90,000 from Shizuko's family every month,
That means
we have an extra 240,000 in income each month,
240,000 is a significant amount,
It's too much,
Eating with everyone is still more enjoyable,
Delicious,
Sorry, I have to go to yoga class today,
Oh, that's nice,
You need to take a break once in a while,
Relax and enjoy,
Alright, thank you,
Oh, oops, Oh no,
Mom, that's a dishcloth,
Mom has always only drunk Zenran tea,
Oh, right,
Can I make dinner tonight?
Huh?
Dinner,
welcome,
Please give me a bag of Zenran tea,
Sure,
100g for 2800 yen (including tax),
That'll be 2800 yen,
Here you go,
Thank you,
High-quality, carefully selected meat specialty store,
Kobe beef is still the best,
We haven't had Sukiyaki in how many years?
Let's eat a lot,
Sure,
Here, have this,
Great,
Southern Zone Thinly Sliced Black Bull, Shrimp Tempura (Pork Loin) - 24,000 Japanese Yen
welcome,
please enter your 4-digit password,
Withdrawal,
Yoshino's little sweetheart,
Please wait,
Huh?
please remove the card,
Insufficient balance,
Thank you for using [the ATM],
What?
So, I want to withdraw money, but the card balance is zero,
You should ask Mom what happened,
Akira, the credit card company just called,
They said my card has an insufficient balance,
Um, sorry about that,
Could you please deposit 100,000 Japanese Yen into my account?
Hey, what did Mom say just now?
I said
I'll call you back in a moment,
Anyway, we need to get Mom's card,
But that's her own card,
The elders don't have cards, very inconvenient,
Such a burden,
This place is my oasis,
Release the stress,
Listen up, everyone,
Today, we welcome another new member,
Nice to meet you all,
How old is your mother-in-law?
She's 80,
I hope she won't get sore,
Alright, everyone,
Let's start with the rotational movements,
Right leg over the left,
Upper body turns backward,
Really?
Incredible!
Mrs, Goto, you're too perfect,
I feel embarrassed being an instructor in front of you,
Don't say that, It's really embarrassing,
How is your mother-in-law so strong?
Her physique is astonishing,
It's truly unbelievable,
- Hey, - Here they come,
Wait, I'm going to have tea with Senior Kinosaki,
You should come with us,
No, I'm not going,
Come on, come on!
What?
No, seriously,
Here, you can enjoy various kinds of tea,
I'm so excited,
It's my first time here, and I want to taste all the teas,
Sorry, please enjoy,
Please enjoy
Speaking of which, your body,,,
It really is quite flexible,
Not much different from a woman in her 20s, not in her 30s,
What are you saying, comparing me to someone in their 20s?
But, compared to someone in their 50s,,,
It's about the same,
You're right,
I'll keep exercising,
That's the way to truly enjoy life, isn't it?
Exactly,
You've waited a long time,
Ah, Mr, Kinosaki
I invited you, so let me pay,
Let's go Dutch then,
Let me treat you today,
Thanks for your hospitality,
No big deal,
Not cheap at all,
Huh?
This is a gift for you,
Please accept it,
Thank you very much,
We'll humbly accept,
Please accept,
Matsukin Dumplings,
We'll humbly accept,
Put this in the refrigerator,
Gift money,
How much was the gift?
1 million yen,
welcome!
This bag is comfortable to carry,
and it looks very high-end,
Suitable for daily life or more formal occasions,
Would you like to hold it in your hand?
Just take a quick look,
Sorry, sorry,
For housing, choose Tenma,
Tenma Housing,
Committed to creating environmentally friendly, earthquake-resistant, high-quality single-family homes,
A century of life, a century of homes,
Leave it all to Tenma,
Hey,
why don't you discuss the job with Mr, Tenma?
Why should I bow down to that guy?
He's all high and mighty as soon as his career starts taking off,
You guys have had a good relationship since college, right?
I told you, let's not talk about that guy,
Sorry,
When I first joined the company,
I had a boss who was incredibly unreasonable,
I seriously considered quitting at that time,
But that Tenma guy said,
"If you quit, I'll quit too,"
He asked me to endure a little longer,
But then he left
the company and started his own thing without a word,
That was a long time ago,
Anyway,
I just don't want to ask him for help,
I'm sorry,
Turn off the lights,
What are you doing?
Turn off the lights,
So annoying,
Husband, Mayumi, got engaged,
Hello,
Grandma,
There's a big problem,
Is it Yuuto?
Yeah, it's Yuuto, The police arrested him,
What?
Next, the lawyer's going to take the call,
Let me make it clear: I'm absolutely innocent,
Hello, I am lawyer Takamura Ryuji,
Hello,
The thing is, Goto Yuuto
was arrested for harassing a woman on a train,
What?
The other party is demanding 1 million Yen in compensation,
What? 1 million?
Telephone scam,
Dialing,
How could I possibly harass a woman?
We have to report it,
Anyway, I'm heading back now,
It's indeed a fraudulent call pretending to be a relative,
Yes, I see,
Alright,
of course,
I'm not that naive,
This is Detective Morimoto from the Kanagawa Police,
We are currently investigating a group involved in scamming by impersonating relatives,
Coincidentally,
the suspect probably just called your family,
We'd like to arrest the suspect while you're making the payment,
Please cooperate with us,
Kanagawa No, 2 is on their way to the scene with the victim,
Kanagawa No, 3, understood,
Ms, Goto,
Can we check what's inside the envelope?
Ah, sure,
Thank you for your cooperation, Please keep it safe,
Alright,
We're just waiting nearby,
We'll arrest the culprit the moment he takes the envelope,
- Please rest assured, - Okay,
Hey,
Uh, Grandma, what are you doing? Where is everyone now?
Well, I,,,
The police came to the house,
What?
Can we check what's inside the envelope?
Thanks for cooperating,
This,,,
Why didn't you call me?
Well, it happened so suddenly,
Scammers are really crafty,
See,
I told you not to treat the dowry as decoration,
just put it in the bank,
Talking about it now won't help,
Blame those guys,
They have acting skills that rival professional actors,
These days, there are many who resort to violence,
You not being injured is already a stroke of luck,
Uh, you two,
You're really police officers, right?
Please give me the money,
Give me a little,
Hey,
hey, Atsuko,
Dad,
Ah, Mom,
Hey, Atsuko,
How have you been?
You look spirited,
- Yeah, - Hello,
Watermelon,
Want some?
No, thanks,
When did you guys start living like this?
About 2 months ago,
I've always wanted to open a surf shop,
Why didn't I know anything about this?
If you knew, you definitely wouldn't have agreed,
The land where we grew watermelons, it sold for a good price,
Doesn't that mean we're well off now?
Actually, the reason I asked you here today is because of something else,
About money, no, no, no,
We've invested everything in this shop,
But isn't the business doing well?
No, it's not,
Atsuko,
Actually, we took out a loan from the bank,
Could you support us a bit?
Mami and Yuuto are independent now,
You both come from dual-income households,
You must have been making money at home all this time, right?
As the saying goes, "The children need to support the parents," isn't that right?
You two will definitely live longer than me,
Tastes good,
Mr, Goto, 56 years old,
Do you have any specific needs?
At my age, I'm struggling with physical labor,
Even if the salary and benefits are slightly lower,
I'd still like to do some office work,
Of course, as a full-time employee,
Mr, Goto, you didn't quite see it,
You seem to be missing the reality,
So, I'll emphasize this again,
You see,,,
If you were in the position of a business owner,
Between a 56-year-old job seeker with experience in only one company
And a job seeker in their 30s with relevant skills and growth potential,
Which one would you hire?
But isn't the economy doing so well these days?
Good companies never lack talented people,
Is there really no place that would hire a middle-aged guy like me?
No,
Mr, Goto,
do you really want to find a job?
We're here to help those who genuinely want to find work,
That being said, you're still relatively young at your age,
Can you handle physical work?
I,,, I,,,
Ah, it hurts,
Sorry about that,
Hey, wait a second,
Stop, stop, stop!
Hey, getting distracted could be fatal!
- I'm sorry, - Pay attention!
I'm sorry,
It's alright; you'll get used to it over time,
Go ahead,
So, I heard you used to work at Sanzan Bank,
Yeah, retired at 65 and got divorced,
No children either,
Pretty laid back,
I see,
And what about you?
Your house looks quite impressive,
Nothing that grand,
This, this, this,,,
Alright, alright, alright,
Is this the place?
I think I'll just,,,
No, no, come on up, have another drink,
Another drink upstairs,
No worries, no worries, no worries,
Sorry for the interruption,
I'm back,
Welcome home,
Do you,,, Do you not have any family?
No, no, no, they're all strangers,
This is a shared rental house,
Dangerous, dangerous,
Mr, Yamazaki, you've had too much to drink,
What are you saying?
You're always being persuaded by customers at the bar,
I'll just have one more drink and then sleep,
Unbelievable,
- I'm really sorry, - Bring more drinks!
Mr, Akira, please have a seat,
It's not much of a home, really,
Go on, sit, sit,
Ah, no, I,,,
No worries, no worries,
Nice to meet you, I'm Rena,
I'm a hostess,
Drink up, drink up, I'll have some too,
- Cheers, - You've worked hard,
Oops,
Ah, it hurts,
Good morning,
Sorry,
Drank too much,
Are you okay?
Clam and miso soup is the best cure for a hangover,
Mr, Goto, you should have some too, I'll make it right away,
Uncle, please sit here,
Thank you,
Good morning,
- Here, have some water, - Good morning,
- Good morning,
This is my son, Takeshi,
Good morning,
He's a good kid, We've all raised him well,
Everyone,,,
I'm a single mother,
so I don't have much time to take care of him,
But the people here help me out a lot,
Probably when will he be back?
What happened?
Please contact me quickly,
Is something wrong?
I'm really worried about you,
Missed call,
Hey, it's me, Morning, Um, sorry,
I was out drinking with a friend yesterday,
and I ended up staying over at his place,
I'm really sorry,
Yeah, that's how it went, really sorry,
Alright, alright, alright, talk to you later,
Goodbye,
Hey, where's Mr, Yamazaki?
Is he still asleep? It's Sunday after all,
But I have to work today, so I should probably leave soon,
Then let's go together,
Um, I'm off today,
I'm going to the amusement park with Takeshi,
That sounds great,
I'm starting to eat,
I'm back,
What's going on?
While I'm out working to make money,
you're here with a young girl,
Like father, like son, I guess,
Your dad used to do things like this when he was young too,
Mom, what are you saying?
That child, he's not yours, is he?
This is all a misunderstanding,
i want a divorce,
No wonder you were startled,
Seeing the husband and the young girl, they're holding the child's hand and laughing,
That's right,
How about we have dinner together?
- No, it's no trouble, - Please, don't be polite,
If it's just for two people, it's nothing,
It's more fun to eat together,
But there's no need to force it,
Well, how about we eat here then?
Sorry to trouble you,
Delicious, Spicy is the way to go,
So, will everyone share the car too?
It's a small van that seats 7 people,
We occasionally go for picnics together,
But there's no need to do everything together,
We each have our own things to do,
And have our own private time as a couple,
I'm really feeling suffocated,
So, while we may not be as close as family,
we also don't feel as distant as strangers,
Could you grab that for me?
Ah, sure,
Goodnight,
Hey, Mr, Yamazaki!
Go take a bath,
Don't actually fall asleep, okay?
I think it's about time for us to go,
Otherwise, we'll end up staying out all night,
Time flies here,
Don't you think so too?
That concludes today's class,
You all worked hard,
Thank you,
May, let's have a cup of tea before we go back,
Or how about coming to my place for tea?
You've been taking care of me lately,
Actually, I have something I want to discuss with you,
As a stand-in for my uncle,
Atsuko, among the people you know
do you know any males around 80 years old?
Actually, there's none I know of around 80 years old,
Why do you ask?
Lately,
a relative passed away, but no death certificate was filed,
People who keep receiving their parents' pension without proof are considered problematic, right?
So, the government comes every year
to verify if they're still alive,
But your uncle seemed quite lively, didn't he?
You could say he was overly spirited,
But recently, he's been emotional and ran away from home,
Mom passed away,
We made an agreement that he'd give me his pension,
We planned to have him live with us,
but our personalities clash,
We even had a big argument a while ago,
That stubborn old man, he knew the government officials were coming next week,
but he still left home,
So, I had to find a substitute,
Do you know any males around 80 years old?
May,
even for your request, I can't do it,
Please, I'm begging you,
Without the pension, the shop won't have enough money for supplies,
Alright,
I'll figure something out for you,
Leave it to me,
What are you saying?
I'll give you a reward,
His pension from the Cooperative Retirement Pension is about 3 million a year,
Not having that money makes a world of difference,
3 million,,,
How about one-tenth of it?
One-tenth?
Thank you so much,
Mom, if this goes wrong, it's a crime,
But we're helping someone, aren't we?
But do you know
any males capable of taking on this role?
How about it?
Unexpectedly good,
you are amazing,
No sense of incongruity at all,
Don't judge by my old age and fading looks,
Back in the day, I wanted to play male roles in the Takarazuka Revue,
Well, dear, you wouldn't make it in there,
Um, about this,,,
It's a done deal,
It's really 300,000,
Yes,
Kenzo Oizumi,
Born on March 3, 1935,
in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture,
After graduating from Aomori Koryo High School, he came to Tokyo,
He became a police officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department,
Yes, my specialties are 5th dan Kendo and 7th dan Iaido,
My father and I were different,
He was serious, stubborn, and had a strong sense of justice,
but he also had some vulnerabilities,
How can I possibly act exactly like him?
I'm not Yakusho Koji,
Mom, what happened to your teeth?
What?
Your teeth,
Teeth? Oh, they're gone,
Gone?
Where could they be?
Found them!
Mom,
that's great!
Just in case, I prepared this,
Ah,
Impressive how punctual the government is,
They're here, Wait a moment,
Mother-in-law, lie down quickly,
Lie down,
Hurry, hurry,
Alright, alright,
Wait, wait,
Okay,
that wait
okay
Come in this way, please,
Sorry, our house is small,
excuse me,
You're welcome here,
Hey, let me introduce myself again,
I'm Moroguchi from the District Government's Insurance and Pension Department,
Let's get started, well,,,
You and Mr, Kenzo Oizumi
were originally living separately,
is that correct?
Yes,
My mother passed away,
and my father wasn't able to manage alone,
so we moved in together,
Her death was a big blow to him,
Since then, he's been bedridden
his hearing has deteriorated,
Stay calm, mother-in-law,
calm,
Be composed,
What?
He has lost a lot of weight
and his face has become thinner,
That's it
I'm Moriguchi from the District Government's Insurance and Pension Department,
Yes, may I ask for your name?
Oizumi,
Kenzo,
Alright, please tell me your date of birth,
yes,
It's in the 10th year of the Showa era,
What year is that?
March of the 10th year of the Showa era
Mm Showa?
Yes, Showa,
The 10th year,
The 10th year of the Showa era,
uh March,
Well, what day of the March?
uh uh
What
March 3rd,
3rd,
Yes,
It's the day of Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day),
Yes, the day of Hinamatsuri,
Cut the small talk,
it's so noisy,
sorry,
he has dementia,
Ah,
Sorry, sorry,
That's my personal matter,
The father who passed away a few days ago,
he had the same looks, the same voice as you,
You are exactly like him
The noise, the noise, it's so noisy,
He used to say the same to me,
Dad, dad,
why did you die, dad?
Is that so?
Please say it again,
Say it to me again,
it's so noisy,
Say it, it's so noisy,
What? One more time?
Please, I'm begging you,
It's so noisy,
Thank you, Say it a few more times,
It's so noisy,
Thank you,
I'm back,
Ah,
Old,,,
old what?
This person is,,,
I am Kenzo Oizumi,
And this person?
Kenzo Oizumi,
Kenzo Oizumi
I see, so who are you then?
I'm Kenzo Oizumi,
Hey, then who's this person?
I am Kenzo Oizumi,
Who are you really?
I am Kenzo Oizumi,
Kenzo Oizumi is me,
Ah,
It's over,
It's not over,
Who are you?
I'm a staff member from the district government,
I'm here to verify the identity
of the pension recipients,
Ah, it's that thing,
Satsuki?
You're the one responsible for it, right?
because
Dad, you ran away from home
and I couldn't reach you,
I came back today, didn't I?
What do you mean, "I came back today"?
Don't backtalk, you fool,
Listen carefully, don't even think about getting your hands on my pension,
Me?
I've never done anything to make others gossip behind my back,
Isn't there another way?
Satsuki did nothing wrong,
Who are you people, anyway?
Just regular workers,
What, you're a bunch of old ladies?
Satsuki, what about you?
did you pay these people?
Of course, it's not free,
Mom, please stop,
Mom!
You, you scumbags!
Scumbags!
Are you a professional scam gang?
They're my friends,
Friends, huh?
Birds of a feather, I suppose,
So, you want money?
That's right, you materialistic woman,
I don't have pension funds,
All of you, it's all about money,
I'll make you pay! Move aside!
Alright, it's confirmed, it's the right person,
Quit whispering and get out,
Okay, I'm leaving,
It's Kenzo Oizumi, no mistake,
Scammer old lady!
Dad!
No!
Let go!
No! No!
Mom!
Scammer old lady!
Old lady!
Watch this!
Old lady!
I'll cut you!
Old lady!
Don't run!
Old lady, you wait!
Hold onto me, hurry, let's escape!
Scammer old lady!
Halt!
Scammer old lady!
Feels great,
Haven't felt this excited in ages,
I say, this money,,,
Let's return it to Satsuki,
Okay?
yes,
Is that not a problem?
Then, here, taste one,
Takashi, this,,, It's fantastic!
It's amazing!
At the supermarket, these cost 88 yen,
Wow, that's impressive,
Living with mom, it's really tough, isn't it?
Yeah, it sure is,
It's way too difficult,
Every day, it's nerve-wracking,
Shizuko last week,,,
We did something incredible,
What did you do?
We helped scam pension funds,
We were nearly attacked by an old man with a Japanese knife,
like this,,,
We almost got slashed,
What happened?
Enough, Mom,
It's a secret, a secret,
Why?
Mom, you look younger,
I'm back,
Welcome back,
Shizuko called today,
I heard,
About helping with the pension scam,
Ah, no, that's not,,,
To you, to my mom,
I'm sorry for involving you in this,
No, it's not like that,
I'll find a solution,
For the residence, choose Tenma, a century-long life, a century-long home, Tenma Realty,
Mom,
I'm going to do part-time work,
I'll rely on you for the house,
Mom, sorry to disturb you,
Mom,
I'm coming in,
Mom,
what's wrong, Mom?
Mom,
Ah, Yuuto, where's your grandmother?
She had angina,
What?
Ah, but they caught it early,
She's fine now,
This is for expanding blood vessels,
called nitroglycerin,
Ah, this is nitroglycerin, right?
You see, it's often seen in TV dramas,
Yes,
When going out, always carry it,
Alright,
You can use this kind of pillbox,
Hang it around your neck,
It doesn't look good,
Then, we'll take our leave,
Mom,
take care,
Yeah, it sure is,
Don't worry me, okay?
No problem, nothing serious,
But,
after this incident, I've come to realize,,,
I've reached the point where,,,
No matter when I die,
it's not a surprising age,
Hey, listen to me,
Hmm, I've made a decision,
I'm arranging a pre-funeral,
A pre-funeral?
what are you talking about?
A pre-funeral, we don't have the money for that in our family,
It won't trouble you,
I'll handle it myself,
How can you handle it alone?
Only because Mom has never been short of money can she say such things,
I'll never support you,
Why even consider a pre-funeral?
Don't joke around,
Nice shot!
This matter has nothing to do with me,
and I won't attend it, Just ignore it,
Definitely ignore it, ignore, ignore, ignore,
Yeah!
Awesome!
Oh dear,
Let me introduce a place where you can get a cheaper repair,
Really?
Savings: 2,800,013 yen,
What is a pre-funeral? Characteristics of a pre-funeral,
Cost of a pre-funeral: restaurant, funeral home venue, hotel, Costs include life review video production, hosting fees, meal expenses, etc, The table above provides a cost reference for a pre-funeral,
If there are 30 participants
and it's held at a restaurant, it would be 900,000 yen,
Goto Yoshino's pre-funeral invitation,
Trimming nails at night, you're not afraid the white-haired will bury the black-haired,
Note: In Japanese, trimming nails at night sounds like "short-lived," hence the saying that trimming nails at night might cause parents to die before their children,
Ah, right, but I've already started trimming,
Be careful not to drop the trimmed nails on the floor;
stepping on them will hurt,
By the way, it's not very nice that you won't attend Mom's pre-funeral,
It's not very appropriate, is it?
Even if I die, I won't attend,
It has nothing to do with me,
Everything is unrelated to me,
Besides, I don't have money,
But Mom is actively preparing for it,
If she wants to do it, she can do it on her own,
Impressive, Mom,
Dad,
welcome,
Grandma,
You've come,
It's been a few months,
Five months,
Nice to meet you, I'm Takumis' father,
Oh, thank you, thank you,
Not at all,
Great,
Hello,
You must be Yuuto,
For you,
Ah, so beautiful,
You dance really well,
Let us express our gratitude to the Taiping couple, Hiroshi and Kazuko,
They're truly amazing,
Hello, everyone,
Thank you all for taking the time to attend my pre-funeral,
You've brought many delicious dishes for me,
And thanks to Mr, Kinosaki for providing the venue for free,
You're too kind,
Let me express my gratitude again;
The total is 430 yen,
Here you go, thank you for your patronage,
Thank you,
Goto, you've become quite skilled at this job, haven't you?
Can I get a raise?
Don't be too hasty for immediate gains,
welcome,
Summer, summer, this is the season of summer,
Love, love, this is the paradise of love,
Realizing the dreams of two people,
Summer, summer, this is the season of summer,
The flying summer,
I'm back,
Medicine,
Oh no, can it be?
Sigh,
Hey,
yeah!
Until the day of reunion, until the time of meeting again,
I don't want to mention the reason for the farewell,
Why do I only feel loneliness?
Why do I only feel emptiness?
Both of us are scarred; everything is gone,
Let's close the door together,
Let's erase our names together,
At that time, we must have something to say in our hearts, right?
Today, everyone has gathered here for our mother,
I'm truly grateful,
Before she goes to heaven,
please take care of her,
Thanks for Mr, Goto's speech,
Now,
please allow Mrs, Yoshino Goto to give the final speech,
Let me explain why I arranged this pre-funeral,
I've always felt that my health was quite good,
But one day, I suddenly fell ill,
At that moment, I realized
that I've reached an age where I could depart anytime,
So, I wanted to express my gratitude while I'm still alive,
Thank you to everyone who has always cared for me,
Especially to my children,
and to my daughter-in-law Atsuko and my grandchildren,
In fact,
Since my husband passed away,
facing the overwhelming loneliness,
I started to spend recklessly
and caused a lot of trouble for my son and daughter-in-law,
I've really done a lot of foolish things,
After witnessing my husband's extravagant yet empty funeral, I
I decided that when I die,
I don't want to exhaust my family both physically and emotionally,
Among all the people present, the one I want to thank the most is Atsuko,
But she's not here today,
and it's probably for the best because,
after all, we
partners in pranks,
and expressing gratitude directly to a partner is
quite embarrassing,
After my husband's passing,
when I lived alone in the recuperation apartment,
I felt incredibly lonely,
Later, I couldn't continue living alone,
Although our confectionery shop is an old establishment,
Japanese-style sweets aren't exactly a highly profitable business,
There were countless times
when I even considered shutting down the shop,
During such times, my husband and I would encourage each othe
to overcome the difficulties,
but now he's no longer here,
and I really feel like just following him,
When I was thinking that it might be better to hurry up and die,
a miracle happened,
Someone appeared who was willing to live with me,
and that person is Atsuko,
Atsuko,,,
What are you doing?
What are you up to?
No, it's not like that,
Sorry, sorry,
sorry sorry
So, Atsuko,
you are truly my lifesaver,
It's not like that, Mom,
I was just,
you know, thinking about things from a practical perspective,
Atsuko,,
Not really, I'm just,,,
By the way, today I just came to deliver medicine to you,
Ah, this one, I changed to a cuter little pillbox,
Oh,
Ah, that's good then,
That's just how Atsuko is,
You're really so gentle,
Thanks to you, I can live so happily,
I can even plan a funeral for myself,
Thank you Atsuko,
I
Mom,
I've decided,
I still want to have a wedding that I organize myself,
I'm sorry,
But, it's okay, Mayumi, After all, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event,
I have the same thought as Mayumi,
We started from scratch as a couple too,
We had a toast in a tiny 10-square-meter room,
Business got better after having a son,
But even without money, we were still happy,
Right, honey?
Yes,
You can dance with your loved one,
Share your gentle smile with her,
Just please don't forget,
I'm here,
The dance, like fine wine, intoxicates my heart,
But please don't take away my heart,
And save the last dance
for me
Enchanted by you, someday the two of us,,,
Wonderful! Fantastic!
We'll go to a secluded place for our trip,
Let's dance, I'll be waiting here for you,
But I'll reject any request to take me home,
Please, no matter when,
don't forget I'm here,
Lalalala,,,
La la la la la la la la
la la la la la la
Ah,
In other words,,,
I want to bring my mom over,
Shizuko,
I still want my mom to live with me, her daughter,
Come live with us, Mom,
Seeing how you and Atsuko interact,
I might be a bit regretful,
It's not like that,
Shuuden, Shizuko,
We'll leave it to you then,
Atsuko
I have a monthly allowance of 90,000 yen,
You don't need to give us any more,
Please take care,
I hate it,
as if we'll never see each other again,
Come and have pork and bean sprout hotpot,
I'll wait for you to come,
Oh, and about this,
The cost for the pre-funeral
event was 10,000 yen, but we made 100,000 in profit,
You can have it,
Doesn't it feel inappropriate?
However,
This money can only be spent on yourself,
I'm closing up,
Atsuko
Yes,
It's better to be willful, isn't it, my friend?
100,000, huh?
How do you plan to spend it?
I'm not telling you,
Hey, long time no see,
Please enjoy,
Thank you,
I feel that now, after work,
coming here to eat something delicious is the happiest thing,
The stews here are really delicious,
Goto,
are you mad at me?
Mad? About what?
The fact that I resigned and left the company,
that was 20 years ago,
At that time, I actually wanted to invite you to come with me,
But, you had your family,
and I didn't have the courage to involve you,
I still wish you had invited me,
Actually, the reason I called you is because,,,
Goto
all along,
I've been working so hard to expand the company,
But you know,
I suddenly realized that the company seems to have become an autocracy in people's eyes,
so
I want someone who can advise me,
Look, you've grown taller,
So tall,
This part is what you ate,
I'm back,
Welcome back,
Have you had dinner?
A little something,
I've got a job lined up,
Really?
Tenma called me to his company,
That's great,
That guy really helped me out,
Want a drink?
I'll have one too,
Hey,
Brave people have already stepped into society,
Let's have a toast,
Sure,
Thank you,
That's great,
Actually, I have an interview tomorrow too,
That's great,
May we both give our best effort,
cheers,
I want to stay in the company dorm,
Oh, I see,
is that OK?
What?
Just the two of you at home, won't it be boring?
If you keep living at home, we'll be the ones who can't handle it,
Atsuko,
Hey,
Can you help me change the water?
Sure,
please,
Okay,
So,
can we replicate the signature product from Kuritado?
How does that sound?
It looks beautiful,
How about this?
Good, Very good,
Really good,
It's almost the first anniversary of dad's passing,
Wow, time flies,
that
thing he said before he passed away,
What did it mean?
Couldn't eat more than three peony cakes, is that the line you're referring to?
That's a phrase my dad liked,
No matter how much you like peony cakes, only the first two will taste good,
Life is somewhat like that, you can't be too greedy,
So, that's what it meant,
Take it and share with everyone,
Okay,
It's ready,
Thank you for waiting,
It looks delicious,
Thank you for your hospitality all this time,
The kids have become independent,
We've started co-living,
The country and the critics are like stirring up people's unease,
20 million, 40 million,
they say you must have that much retirement savings,
But is that really the case?
I've decided to change my long-held beliefs and embrace a new way of life,
Choosing co-living isn't just about economics,
It's also because this place not only guarantees personal privacy
but also respects others,
Sharing items and time, helping each other, it's like a small group,
Surprisingly, it's a comfortable place,
I don't know about the future,
but as for now,
I'm living a slightly wilful and enjoyable life,
Sold the house, 32 million yen,

The one over there,
The meat is grilled,
Is it delicious?
The cucumber is really tasty,
