His Majesty the Emperor had bloody bowel movements starting yesterday morning,
(1988)
The symptoms continued until the afternoon,,,,
,,,so he had to receive a 200cc blood transfusion,
After that, although the fever had gradually subsided,,,
,,,but his blood pressure is still quite low,
The imperial physician believes that His Majesty's health condition still needs to be closely monitored,
According to the Imperial Household Agency, His Majesty's condition at 5:30 pm yesterday,,,,
This is my father's story,
He said I was the most irresponsible person in the world,
(1962)
Since childhood, I have been a stubborn person,
It's in my personality to make money easily,
Oh, Yasu-san,,,
After entering school,,,
My father is a famous person throughout the city,
Oi, he's coming,
Move, move! You guys are blocking the way,
Yasuo, be careful driving!
You just surprised me,
Auntie, sorry we're late,
Today, you look manly too, Yacchan,
Of course,,,
Auntie, don't praise him!
Shut up!
All the items are here,
In short, the world is irresponsible, Hardworking men,,,
Good job everyone!
Oi Yasu, drive with both hands!
Yosh, let's go!
OK, ready,,,
It's quite big!
Oi Kuzuhara, watch your step!
This is our battlefield,
Just one mistake and we could be seriously injured,
This is our battlefield!
What are you talking about?
The train is leaving,
Work fast and safely, safety first!
Avoid accidents! Repeat!
Be careful! Be careful!
Don't let there be any problems!
Oi Kuzu, what are you doing?
Listen, when you push the trolley,,,,
use your knees and hips to push it,
If you push him with your hand, he won't move,
Look at me!
Yosh, let's go!
Wow! You are indeed great, Yasuo-san,
If that's the case, I'll go first,
Wait, are you going home already?
Yasu!
Can you go pick up the goods at Takehama?
I can't, I can't, I can't!
There is something important waiting for me,
What's important?
At most you just want to drink and gamble,
Kuzu, I'll go first okay!
Eh, wait, Yasu-san!
Oh, Yasu!
I am home,
Welcome back,
I am home,
Welcome back,
(Yasuo Ichikawa, Misako)
(The Emperor Aims for Masaichi Kaneda's 3rd Crown with 20 consecutive wins)
What's the condition now?
The baby has been moving around since this morning,
He might be a boy,
Don't!
It's just a small thing,,,
Not allowed! If there is a mistake,,,
,,,he could fall hard,
Calm down, Yasu-san, The baby won't fall that easily,
Ah, I see,,,
Try touching it!
I want to go have a drink first,
Be careful on the way,
Oh, Yasu!
I heard your child will be born soon, right?
Thank you for your help till now,
Why didn't you report to me immediately?
As a congratulations, I can take you to the cabaret,
Let's go now! Everyone is waiting,
Boss,,,
What?
I've stopped drinking alcohol,
WELCOME,
Yasu-san!
I want soda,
It's hot like this, wouldn't it be better to drink beer?
Miss Taeko, don't tease me!
Yasu, if you keep wandering around incoherently,,,,
Misako-san can leave you, you know,,,
It's true, nowadays it's not easy to find a good wife,
Kuzu, it's still 10 years too early for you to teach me that,
Yacchan is so shy,,,
I also want to get married,
Hello, fellow workers!
Even though you don't have any money, you're here to drink, right, Yasu?
Sir boss! - What?
It's been a long time since I wanted to tell you something,
Stop talking about sensitive things, it's so annoying!
Why are you being so arrogant?
What? Let's get out of here!
Stop it!
What are you doing, damn it! You've gone too far,
You're the one being outrageous, You're the one who's always looking for trouble,
What are you saying?
Let me go! You stupid!
Stop it!
Yacchan, your child will be born soon, do you really want to fight like this?
Do not bother me! Sis, just shut up!
Why are you so impudent?
Have you forgotten when you were beaten when you were in elementary school,,,,
,,,I'm the one who came to save you?
You should take better care of Misako-san!
She married you and became your wife,
Ouch!
Mr Boss,,,
What?
I don't want to fight anymore!
Bastard, wait!
OK, that's enough!
Thank you for looking after us,
Not long after my father was born, his mother died of illness,
After that, he was adopted by his mother's brother,,,,
,,,namely his uncle and his wife,
Grandpa who lived alone after that,,,,
,,,leaving father without his supervision,
Dad never even met his parents,
Sorry, ma'am, Please take care of us again like before!
My mother also lost her family because of the atomic bomb attack,
These two people who have no family finally get married,
Just slowly,
Your father is really good, huh,,,
Don't worry!
Come on, hang on a little longer!
What's wrong, Yasu? You're dating, right?
Wait a moment here, OK?
You idiot, who calls it a date if it's with his wife?
You perverted monk!
Wow, her stomach is already very big, She will soon give birth,
Stop staring at other people's wives' stomachs!
You stupid!
Yasu will be a father?
Looks like all of Japan will be peaceful soon,
My father said he wanted to help you pray for a smooth birth,
In fact, it will create problems,
If we involve monks in happy moments,,,,
,,,he will burn smelly incense that will bring bad luck,
Who are you calling bad luck, Yasu?
He's coming, - Oi, Yasu!
It seems like you still haven't repented for your sins, huh,,,
The persimmon tree is still there,
Do you want to be tied up and hung there again?
Old monk, I'm not talking seriously,
Oh, Yasu! - Eh?
Bad!
Oi, heretical monk, go get the car!
Are you okay?
The baby seems to be coming out early,
OK, don't talk yet!
Can you stand?
Move!
How is he doing, Yasu?
Misako,,,
Come on, fight!
Take a deep breath,
Misako,,,
Don't worry, relax your body!
What are you doing there, Yasu?
Let's relax our shoulders first, Come on!
I can't believe that you can be this nervous too,
Inhale, exhale!
Oi Kuzu, you're making me even more nervous!
What are you doing?
I know! You're scared because of a small thing like this, right?
Little things, you say? Don't you know what it's like to be a father?
Stop it!
I do not know!
Of course I don't know, Taste this biscuit!
You stupid!
Don't get in the way! Move!
Damn you Kuzu, take this!
Can't you be calmer in a situation like this?
Hold him!
Has he been born?
He's been born,
Congratulations on the birth of Yasuo Ichikawa's first child!
Banzai!
And that's how I was born,
Everyone calls it like this,
"The kite that gave birth to an eagle,"
Come on, smile, Akira!
Oi, I'll take a photo, okay?
Smile~
Come on, fly high, fly high!
Fly up to the sky!
Akira, look who's up there?
Fly as high as the sky~
(1988 - Tokyo)
Come on!
Yosh!
Yasu-san, that's enough,
Let me take care of the rest,
Okay,
Ah, isn't it time you said it? Why did you come to Tokyo?
Just a small matter,
We'll be back tonight, so you can sleep first,
I'll go first, yeah,,,
It's big~
Yasu-san,,,
(Monaka: one of the snacks/cakes from Japan)
You lost your item,
Almost forgot,
The ocean in Tokyo is scary, right?
The sea is still the sea,
I'll go first, okay?
Yosh, dad photo, okay!
Come closer!
Dad, take a photo, Akira!
Look at this mountain! - Mountain, huh? Good job, Akira,
You made a big mountain, like Mount Fuji, huh,,,
Let's go to mom's place!
Come on!
Dad, steam train!
Steam train, huh?
Yosh! Akira, play with the steam train!
3 year old child can build a mountain,,,
That's really rare, right?
He will be an artist in the future, My son is great,
I gave birth to him, Akira's future,,,
,,,I thought it would be a normal boy,
I'm not very good at studying, Akira must be too,
The most important thing is to live life with a healthy body,
Besides, since you gave birth to him,,,,
He will definitely be a good child in the future,
Nice!
This is a story about me and my father,
The events of that day started like this,
The boss's camera takes good pictures,
Akira, don't mess with the merchandise!
Maybe one day we can go to the zoo, huh?
I want to see giraffes! I want to see giraffes!
Akira, don't ask for anything wrong!
All right, Akira,,, Dad will be the horse,
Come on, tuk tik tik tik tuk!
Come on, get on the horse!
If so, do you want to fly by plane?
Giraffe!
I'm going to the zoo! Zoo, zoo!
This is a hassle too,
We work here for other children,,,,
,,,but we can't afford a Christmas tree for our own children,
This is so embarrassing,
Well that's that then! I want to go to work first,
Hey, Yasu-san,,,
Can we come with you too?
I want to show Akira how you usually work,
Oh, okay,
Come on, Misako!
The windows are big too, huh,,,
Akira,,,
Do you want to be a truck driver when you grow up?
I want to be a bus driver,
You stupid! Bringing a truck is more exciting, you know,,,
A truck this big can be moved with just one hand,
This is a real man's job, right?
But, the weather isn't usually like this,
*In our terms, it's like hot rain,,, ^_^
Isn't this "Kitsune no Yomeiri"?
Alright, let's go!
About what happened that day,,,,
,,,I don't remember it at all,
Yasu-san, it's time for tea,
Yes!
Dad, here's the towel,
Akira!
Misako!
Misako,,, Misako!
Akira!
Oi, is there anyone? Is there anyone here?
It's my fault for not setting up the warehouse properly, Forgive me!
It's not your fault,
He didn't know how his mother could die,
Poor him!
Hey, Akira!
Akira!
Let me,
Hey, Akira!
Akira,,,
There will be no one there if you go there,
What about mother?
Where's mother?
Is mother not here yet?
Akira,,,
Dad's here,
Dad is here,
And that's how it started, how I lived alone with my father,
Get out of the way, damn crow!
Beware of stupid kites!
This feeling that is hidden in my chest,
This is Kobayashi Akira, Akira will sing,
One two,,,
Like explosives,
There are 150 tons of explosives,
Damn! Fly away a love like this,
Yasu-san, Good morning,,,
Hope no one gets hurt today!
Yosh, let's get to work,
I've tried reattaching it,
Only Akira-kun brought photos to art class to draw,,,,
,,,that's why Michirou-kun called it cheating,
I already explained that Akira-kun's mother was dead,,,,
,,,so Akira-kun needed that photo to draw it,
You're the only one with a photo, isn't that cheating?
Return!
Don't use this photo!
Return! - Don't use this photo!
Return!
Well, that's a good thing,
Eh?
At least, Akira could get angry in a situation like that,
But, using force is a bit,,,
Violence and fighting are different things,
So, who wins in the end?
Michirou-kun's head hit the table and it swelled,
Excellent!
Then his mother came to pick him up,
His mother asked, "Are you okay?" when he saw Michirou-kun's head swollen,
Akira-kun who saw it immediately cried,,,
,,,and ripped it off myself,
Don't be so gloomy, Akira!
You won the fight, right? You're a great kid,
You're good at drawing Dad's face too, aren't you?
What if you become a manga artist in the future?
You can write many interesting stories like Osamu Tezuka,
Dad, why did mom die?
Is it because he hates me?
You stupid! How could it be like that, right?
Your mother loves you more than anyone in this world,
Then, why did he die?
It was an accident, And it can't be avoided,
Oh yeah, let's go to the monk's house and stay there today!
May I? - Yes,
Come here!
Aunt Yukie, wait for me!
Oi Akira, don't run around!
What a naughty child,
Because we don't have children, seeing Akira is a source of comfort for us,
Hey Akira, do you want uncle to buy a school bag later?
Don't! I've bought it for him,
Do you think I can't be a good father without a woman by my side?
Nobody said that,
Why are you so hysterical like a woman?
Noisy!
I don't want to talk to you,
I'm going to meet the old monk for a drink,
Old monk,
I thought why does it feel so cold? It turns out there was snow,
It might snow heavily,
If only I hadn't been born,,,,
If only she didn't marry a fool like me,
He must still be alive today,
A fool like me,,,
If only I hadn't been born,
I will stay with you until the end, I'll drink too,
Go wake up Akira!
He was just sleeping,
That's it, just go!
And also you have to drive later, Don't drink now!
Eh?
Come on, bring him here!
Yasu, come with me!
Dad, where are we going?
It's cold~
Dad, let's just go home, It could be serious if Akira catches the flu,
Oi Yasu, take off the blanket,
Eh?
Come on!
Akira, is it cold?
It must be cold, right?
Tell your father to hug you tighter,
Dad, I'm cold,
Yes, I understand,
He's already cold,
Akira, after your father hugged you like this,,,,
,,,your face and stomach should be warmer,
But, your back is still cold, right?
If your mother is still around, she can hug your back,
That's why, children who still have a father and mother,,,,
,,,will feel so warm,
But Akira, your mother is no longer there,
How do you endure this cold,,,
,,,is a problem you will have to face throughout your life,
How? Is it warm yet?
A little,
Akira, when your back feels cold,,,,
Everyone will give you this kind of warmth,
Even though your mother is no longer there,,,,
,,,there are still many people who will warm your back,
Don't forget that!
You understand, right, Akira?
Yes,
Yasu, become the ocean!
What are you talking about?
Sadness is like snow, it falls to the ground and will continue to pile up,
But in the ocean,,,
No matter how much snow falls, he will swallow it slowly,
Don't let Akira be sad!
Yasu, become the ocean!
You must be the ocean!
Unlucky!
Laugh, Yasu!
Laugh!
If you can cry, you should also be able to laugh,
You,,,?
I was the one who contacted you earlier, Shimano,
Thank you for coming all the way here,
This way, please!
This,,,
This is a famous souvenir from my hometown,
Thank You,
Please come in!
Dad, Yasuo-san is here,
Yasuo-san, this is your father,
Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony,
This will be the last chance,
(1974)
Your phone number is 6700,
You're so enthusiastic, Yacchan,
Very hot! Are gods trying to kill us?
I told you, whatever you say, I can't do it,
I have decided that I will never see him again,
I just gave birth to the child,
You are definitely the one who understands this best,
Please forgive me!
Duh, it's hot~
Sis, I want a glass of water, I want to rest first,
Yacchan,
Uh, what's wrong?
If there's something you want to talk about, I don't mind hearing it,
He came to me,
Who?
Akira-kun,,,
Akira?
Akira, welcome back,
Aunt,,,
My mom,,,
I heard, he died in an accident, What kind of accident was that?
Auntie must know, right?
Tell me!
I kept my promise and didn't say anything to him,
But, Akira finally left feeling annoyed,
I can't keep it a secret any longer,
Miss,,,
What should I do?
I think you should tell him directly,
If one day, someone accidentally tells him,,,,
,,,it's too late, you know,,,
People can't control their own mouths,
This is a hassle too,,,
Well, actually I'm having trouble too,
At least, you already know, right?
Oh Yasu, why do you look sad so early in the morning?
Shut up!
What's wrong, Kuzu? Isn't today your work schedule?
No, we heard rumors that Taeko-san actually has children,
I just want to confirm whether it's true or not,
Basically, you're all the same,
Aunt Taeko married a farmer,,,
,,,and gave birth to a daughter in the first year of their marriage,
Her name is Yasuko,
His nickname is Yacchan like my father,
When her husband's family found out that a girl was born,,,,
,,,they were angry and auntie got a lot of abuse from them,
My chest felt tight at that time, and finally ran away,
I left Yasuko who was still a baby,
Because he was engaged, he said he wanted to meet me,
But, I rejected it,
The thing is, I feel sorry for his adoptive mother,
We seem to be both in a mess, aren't we, Yacchan,
In the summer of this year,,,
All of us elementary school kids were busy talking about bigfoot,
Bigfoot was the hottest topic of conversation at the World Expo in Osaka,
Precisely on Mount Hibayama, Hiroshima prefecture, there was a witness who,,,
Oi Akira, time to eat!
Yes, wait a minute,
,,,Clubs of nature lovers from universities who are interested in coming to the place,
Four years have passed since then,
Recently, there was a witness report who saw a bigfoot apparition,
Dad, you don't use butter?
Too much oil is not good for health,
Even though my father always drank sake every night,
Sake is a long life drink,
What a lie,
It feels very strong,
For some time,,,,
,,,the awkward atmosphere between my father and I continues,
Yasu-san,,,
Why are you so stunned?
Work work!
Yasu,,, Yasu! Can you come here for a moment?
I thought you were the closest person to Taeko-san,
My name is Furuta Yasuko,
So, you are, huh?
The Nikomi is delicious,
Nikomi?
You've never eaten that?
Our family owns a shop, but I never drink,
There is no shop like that in our village,
It really is a very rural area, huh,,,
But it's calm there, Very nice place,
Here it is,
Mbak Taeko is a very stubborn person, He might not want to see you,,,
I'm stubborn too,
I came here alone, even though my family forbade me,
I just want to see it for a moment,
Please help,
OK then,
WELCOME!
Ah, please come in!
Heretic monk, shift a little! Oi Kuzu, you just stand up!
You can sit here first,
Eat this!
Yacchan wants a beer, right?
Yes,
Does Miss want a beer too?
Anu, I'll just tea,
If you come to drink, order sake!
Isn't there a saying, "where the earth is stepped on, there the sky is upheld?"
If you just want to drink tea and eat, don't come to this shop!
If that's the case, I'll order a beer too,
No need to force yourself, OK!
Let me tell you the secret to making your business last longer,
The key is knowing how to "forget",
If you can't forget what has passed,,,,
,,,the business won't be able to continue, right?
Like me, I don't remember anything,
Whether it was yesterday or the next day, I never look back,
Taku-san, how old is your daughter now?
Is it around 20?
You've tried hard to raise him, huh?
It must have been very difficult day after day to raise him to where he is now,
You'll have to tell that to your daughter someday,
Taeko-san,,,
Can you also give this Miss something to eat?
Hey, all the food in "Yunagi",,,
,,,tastes like mother's cooking,
What are you talking about?
Even though you say that,,,
I can't just suddenly throw out dried squid haphazardly,
You know, the top and bottom shells of clams fit together,
Because it can only close and open with a combination like this,
Hence, it is served at weddings as a congratulations to the bride and groom,
Itadakimasu,
How? Does it taste good?
This is delicious,
How about I sing a song for Yasuko-san?
I heard this song on the radio,
I don't know if I can sing it well or not,
Sing nice!
You idiot, I'm tone deaf,
When I fell in love with you
I'm exactly 19 years old in the spring,
If you want to separate now,
Please give me back my past 19 years,
Good!
If you intend to leave me,
Please tell me ASAP,
While I'm still young,
So as not to leave regrets on flowers tomorrow,
Even with a postcard for a penny or two cents
Can travel thousands of miles,
Even though we live in the same place,
It feels very sad because we can't meet each other,
Affectionate call for husband and wife,
There must be someone who could be a better husband,
I'll go first, yeah,,,
Be careful not to get cold!
Akira,,,
Don't you remember anything about your mother?
I think I remember when he was hugging me,
I'm not sure either,
She is a really good mother,
Father?
What are you doing dad?
Father?
Have you never heard of the health method of holding your breath?
It's very popular these days,
Akira,,,
Even though father always said that your mother died in an accident,,,,
,,,but dad hasn't told me the details yet,
I'll tell you now,
Your mother,,,
Yes,,,
Your mother,,,
He died because of his father,
He replaced father,
Your mother died in place of your father,
At work, dad tries to look cool in front of you while he's working,
But, his pile of things fell like an avalanche,
Your mother pushed your father away,,,
,,,and he was trapped under that heavy burden,
It was your father who killed your mother,
Come here!
I'm sorry, Dad,,,
Dad really,,,
,,,I am sorry,
Since then, my father and I haven't spoken to each other,
Yasuko-san sent a thank you letter to Aunt Taeko,
He also sent photos of his wedding,
There is only one sentence in the contents of the letter,
"I will live a good life,,,"
",,,so that you can look forward to tomorrow,"
That's what it says,
You are the most beautiful bride in the world,
If that's the case, I'll go home first, okay,,,
I hope Akira-kun recovers quickly, OK,,,
The day I was supposed to lift the small shrine for the first time,,,,
I fell asleep because of the fever,
Akira, daddy brought canned peaches,,,
You will definitely have energy again and your fever will go away,
Come on, wake up!
Even though dad didn't say anything,,,,
I can feel his disappointment,
Additionally,,,
The excitement about Bigfoot had also dissipated by that fall,
Before that, you hear a rather faint sound from ahead,
When the voice disappeared, he then appeared? / - Yes,
(38th Sakae Higashi Elementary School Graduation Ceremony)
Oi Yasu, sit down, don't be so embarrassing!
There he is!
He's there,
He wouldn't have seen us if he hadn't waved,
Akira!
Akira, over here!
Congratulations on graduating! - Happy!
Banzai!
Akira, congratulations! - Banzai!
Dad always asked your mother's relatives to look after you,
In the end, he regrets leaving you,
Even now?
That's the reality, Please believe him!
"Is Yasuo okay? Is he happy?"
"Does he still hate me?"
I've always heard that since I was little,
I am my mother's stepson,
To be honest, I used to be uncomfortable with those things,
My mother is the same,
Yes, that's normal,
But, after I grew up,,,,
,,,then got married and had children of their own,,,,
,,, little by little I can understand father's feelings,
I really thank you for coming here today,
My mother and I are also of course very happy,
How is your mother?
He had considered it, and couldn't come today,
But he is still in good health,
Please give this to him directly!
This is a local product from my hometown,
You've eaten too, right?
Thank you for giving birth to me,
Thanks to you, I can live happily,
Thank You,
Father,,,
Thank you very much,
Thank You,
(1979)
Oh, Yasu!
Give this to the old monk,,,
,,,and say it's too soon for him to die now,
I'll remind you that he won't die until you die first!
Damn, a man with a sharp tongue,
Oi Yamamoto, you just laughed, right?
No,
Aren't you too relaxed?
Hah?
Come on, show me your ass!
Show your ass!
That stupid kid,,,
Hey, Akira!
You stupid!
What are you doing?
The problem was, he was lazy when practicing and didn't want to make a sound,
Then, do you need to hit his butt with that bat?
That's what everyone does,
Don't you just bully those who are weaker than you?
This is a tradition at the baseball club,
You stupid!
Can't you get rid of traditions like that in your generation?
Beating those who don't want to fight,
Isn't that a cowardly act?
Don't you feel sorry for him?
If that's what dad thinks is cool,,,,
,,,then those of us who previously had our butts beaten will look embarrassing?
That was the first time I was hit in the face with a fist,
This is from the boss,
Thank you,,,
But, he probably wouldn't be able to eat it,
There are many good women out there,
You must be having a hard time choosing, right?
At the very least, you'll just fall into the arms of the grandmothers in the end,
While there is still time, throw away all the worldly desires you have!
Hey, Yasu,,,
I think the time is not far away,
Hey, take Akira with you to this hospital,
I want my father to see it while his consciousness is still there,
I want them to meet each other,
About that,,,
,,,he seems to have entered puberty,
Even though my father always denied saving money secretly,,,,
,,,I don't know since when, without my knowledge he used his savings,,,
,,,to buy an old house near the apartment where we live,
He has one habit that never changes,
He thought buying a cake would make up for his mistake,
Akira,,,
Hello, with the Ichikawa family,
Ah? Yes,,,
Good,
Dad's coming in, OK?
Yamamoto-kun's mother called earlier,
Yamamoto-kun said he was injured,
He had bruising and internal bleeding,
Do you know it?
Who knows,
Hey, Akira,,,
I know there are many rules about seniors and juniors,
But, his parents will be sad to see him,,,
When a child is injured, will the parents be sad?
That's for sure, right?
If that's the case,,,,
Dad should apologize to me first, right?
If that's the case,,,
If mother were still alive, would father hit me?
Don't divert the conversation,,,
Who is changing the conversation here?
Only a father is alive and hits your own child,
If only father had died instead of mother!
Akira!
Akira,
Akira,,,
Does it hurt?
Of course it hurts!
Stop it!
Stop it, you're already hurt!
It really hurts, yeah,,,
Being hit like that,,,
,,,really hurts,
Akira,,,
Was the way your father raised you wrong?
If only you were with your mother,,,,
,,,you will probably grow up to be a good child just like when you were little,
Where are you going?
I want to go apologize,
I'm going to Yamamoto-kun's house,
Wait a moment!
Give this to him as an apology,
Be careful when riding your bicycle!
Oi, what happened to your face?
I tripped and fell,
You two fell?
Oh, Akira,,,
Even though you are very busy, sorry,,,
It is okay,
Father, Yasu-san and Ak-kun came to see you,
Old monk,
Akira-kun, touch his hand grandpa!
You must be happy, right, Dad?
My father was able to see Akira for the last time,
He must be very happy,
I'll come again later,
Akira,,,
Thank you for coming today,
I'll go in first, okay?
You stupid!
It's too soon to cry,
Do you regret never visiting it before?
There is no one in this world who has no regrets in his life,
Shoun has also become a mature man,
When father was dying, Akira also had to be willing to let me go,
Otherwise, father won't be able to leave peacefully,
How do I know what to do after that and so on?
If you say it like that,,,,
Dad will live to be 100 years old,
I think that's not a bad idea either,
This feeling that is hidden in my chest,
Like explosives,
There are 150 tons of explosives,
Roar as much as you want,
(1988 - Hanno, Saitama Prefecture)
You're good too, aren't you,,,
Excuse me,
I feel like I couldn't write the report if I didn't experience it firsthand,
I thought you came just for an interview,
Want to drink tea?
Can,
This, - Thank You,
Ah, I made that while on the mountain to pass the time,
If you want it, just take it!
Can I?
Thank you very much,
I think he would be very happy,
Constantly asking my name,
You're a soldier from the war era, what?
If you do not state your name, you may not enter,
Let me tell you what you look like,
You're like big foot, big foot!
Have you never heard? He is famous in Hiroshima,
What's the problem?
Ah, that's our magazine,
This man keeps saying he wants to visit here, it's very troublesome,
Even elementary school children can visit, why not me?
You must tell us your name and reason for coming here!
We can't let suspicious people in!
Suspicious person,,,
Disband! Disband!
Aren't you being too rude?
We can't judge someone by their appearance alone,
Appearance?
In this day and age, we have to be very careful,
That is the company's rule,
It's no use talking to you!
Get out of here!
Anu, is it because I am a female employee?
If I were a manager, senior executive, or director,,,
,,,then you want to hear me?
Hey, you don't need to talk anymore!
This guy is just doing his job,
I'm defending you here,
Look at this!
I want to meet this man!
Eh?
Ichikawa Akira, What do you need with him?
He is my son,
Eh?
Excuse me Niimi-san, where did Akira-kun go, huh?
He went to visit the Canoe Boat factory in Saitama,
And haven't come back yet,
Oh, I see,
Can you please take the item to City Beat first?
OK, that's all, See you later,
Anu, how can we help you?
Don't bother!
I also shouldn't have come without notice,
Can you please share this with everyone here?
This is typical of my hometown,
Thank You,
Chief Editor, Akira-kun's father is here,
Ichikawa's father? - Yes,
Well, the senior employees here have a good impression of Ichikawa-kun,
You could say, he was born to be close to people older than him,
Even to the point of making other people want to do anything for him,
That's because he was raised by many people in our village,
Please guide him hard!
If he complains too much,,,,
,,,it doesn't matter if you hit him,
That's not possible! Ah, please sit down!
You raised him alone, right?
I am not alone, There are many people who helped raise Akira,
There are many, many,
He wrote about you in his job interview essay,
It should still be in the HRD section,
Let me have it photocopied, You can bring it later,
What he wrote is truly hard to forget,
Since then, I've always thought I'd like to meet you in person,
Please wait a moment here!
Yes,
Kensuke-kun, your invitation has arrived,
See you!
Ah, Kensuke,
Kensuke,
This is a gift for you,
What's this?
What do you think, huh?
Steam train?
That's right, it's a steam train,
Thank you very much,
Waseda University, huh,,,
You still want to go to Tokyo, right?
I know it takes a lot of money,,,,
But, I can apply for some kind of scholarship,
I can also support my life with part-time work and such,
Sayuri Yoshinaga is also an alumna of Univ, Waseda,
Dad can still afford your tuition fees,
What if it was just like this, Akira?
Hm?
What if Dad proposed to the company to be transferred to the branch in Tokyo?
Huh, why?
Why? Of course, because I'm worried about you,
Why are you laughing?
Seriously! Dad is too protective, there's no need to be like that,
Yes, if that's the case,
Don't drink alcohol after work!
Add more!
Isn't that enough, right?
Oi Yasu, you can't keep clinging to your child like that,
Children will one day have to leave their parents,
And live independently,
If you look so worried,,,,
,,,Akira will find it hard to leave the house,
Four years will pass in no time,
I don't think you'll have time to feel lonely,
I don't think it's because of that,
He was worried that Akira would go to town,
After that, he might not come back here again,
It's so noisy, stop twirling it!
Eh? Wait!
If Akira leaves, I will feel lonely too,
Yo, I'm home,
Duh,,, stand up, Dad!
Dad might catch a cold, let's go to bed!
Be aware, Dad! Dad can't drink alcohol like he used to, right?
Get me a glass of water!
Dad can take it himself,
Don't talk too much, just go get it!
Okay,
Hey, Dad,,,
Dad really needs to be a little self-aware! Do it yourself!
Please! Here,,,
How chatty!
Since when do you feel like you are the most right?
Sorry!
Come out again, the killer move!
Although self-growing is a form of evolution,,,,
Since when did you dare to lecture your parents? Try to say!
I'm not lecturing dad,,,
You're clearly lecturing me!
Oi, be careful of your feet, Stop it, father!
You're clearly lecturing me,,,
Don't put others down! You have no right!
What have I done?
Why should I apologize?
Just obey and apologize!
If Dad is so adamant like this,
I won't study in Tokyo,
After all, tuition fees are not cheap,
I no longer discuss trivial things like that now,
Oh, heretical monk, what is it?
Akira asked me to come here,
He said he couldn't focus on studying at home,
That's why he came to my house,
I'll let him stay at our house until he graduates high school, okay?
What's an outsider like you to do? Don't decide on a whim!
Shut up!
Akira is all of our children,
If you raise him alone, you will teach him bad things,
If you're that worried, go get him back,
What exactly makes you so stubborn?
It's not a matter of being stubborn or not,
The final of the red group is Yashiro Aki,
We wish him success next year with his songs,
It's too late, I haven't seen anything yet,
Ichikawa, where do you want to go next?
My first choice was a private campus,
Private? How about you?
I haven't decided yet,
Not yet? Won't it take too long?
Come on, daddy let go, OK?
Good, good,
Again, yes!
Grab the handlebars!
What is it?
Ichikawa,
Hirozawa, your back is unstable, This is our battlefield,
Hah? What was?
This is our battlefield,
"Battlefield"?
Wait, I just said,,,
Yasu-san? - Yasu-san,,,
Yasu-san! Yasu-san!
Quickly call an ambulance!
No, don't move it carelessly! What do you think?
It really smells here,
How could this place be this dirty, you bastard!
This house looks like it's been broken into by thieves,
No, why did it happen like this?
What are you doing?
Really smell bad!
Ah, Ak-kun,,,
He lacked nutrition, and also he drank too much alcohol,
But, his blood vessels and brain are fine,
Even the doctor was shocked,
Why did you come here? Get out there quickly!
Sorry, I did whatever I wanted,
You see that! Akira was also worried like that,
How could he go to Tokyo and leave his pathetic father like this?
Isn't that right, Akira?
If you are really serious about going to Tokyo,,,,
Even though I try to stop you, you will still insist on leaving,
If you can't do that, then you're just talking,
Ichikawa-san, there's a telegram for you,
Aunt Yukie, can you get me the stamp?
Yes, where?
There,
It's there, - Here?
A moment,,,
This,
Yasu,,,
Your resolve is not strong enough as a father,
Don't pretend to know! You don't even have children yourself,
If that's the case, you have to look after him until he can be independent,
The older you get, the more stubborn you become,
What is it?
I'm grateful,
Eh?
I'm grateful,
Let me see!
You graduated at Waseda University!
Waseda University!
I'm grateful!
Hey Yasu, where are you going?
Excuse me,
This is a thank you gift from me,
Thanks to you, my son was able to graduate, Thank you very much,
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
He did, Misako,
Akira successfully graduated,
You always look young, don't you,,,
And I'm this old,
But, I'm just a burden for Akira,
Akira,
Shoun-san, please help,
Where's Yasu?
He had locked himself in the bathroom since earlier,
Really troublesome,
I'm coming in, Yasu!
Father,,,
I'm leaving first,
I will take care of myself and always work hard!
Dad too,,,
Dad also take care of yourself Dad!
Oi Yasu, don't be like that! Get out of there!
I won't come out no matter what you say,
If that's the case, I'll go first!
I'll call when I get to Tokyo,
Listen, going to Tokyo is on your own terms,
Don't complain about anything once you get there, okay?
You could die on the side of the road,
When Dad goes to Tokyo, I will collect the ashes from your body,
Prepare yourself for it!
Dad won't call you either,
Okay,
I also intend to do that,
Dad will never go to Tokyo,
Fight for yourself there!
Until you can live independently,,,,
,,,don't even think about coming back!
Oh! Oh, Yasu!
( For Dad )
"For Dad, I'll go first,"
"There are many troublesome things about living alone,"
"Try harder not to catch a cold,"
"I have separated clothes for each season in the wardrobe,"
"Winter clothes are in the bottom drawer,"
"I don't want the tub heater to be on all the time,"
"So, I set an alarm,"
"The alarm will sound if the bathtub is full,"
"So, there's no need to be afraid!"
"Please never shower after drinking alcohol!"
"Because that's the reason Grandpa Yoshie died,"
"I bought three cartons of vegetable juice,"
"I put it under the kitchen sink,"
Akira!
Want to stop?
No, let's just go!
Akira!
Dad!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to go to Tokyo,
Akira!
Good luck there!
Since then, I have never returned home once,
(Father's Lie)
At that time, I was in my second year of college,
Precisely after my coming of age celebration in Tokyo,
(From Shoun)
Shoun-san sent a letter containing:
"Happy adulthood day!"
"I'll just go straight to it,"
"These were the last words of my father before he died,"
"He asked me to show this to Akira when he grows up,"
"Don't tell Yasuo about this letter!"
"And you (Shoun-san) can't read it either,"
"I will protect you always, - From Shoun"
In the letter, the truth about my mother's death was written,
My mother sacrificed her life to save me,
Therefore, I hope you don't blame Yasuo for lying,
He did it for your own good,
He's worried about many things, that's why he decided to lie to you,
And your father is the person who loves you most in this world,
I hope you can thank your father someday,
My father lied to me,
When I was 20 years old, I finally knew the truth,
I still can't thank my father,
Before I could say it,,,,
,,,I first have to become a truly mature person,
Oh, Yasu-san,
What is it?
Hey, Hiro,,,
Today, in the end I couldn't meet my son,
Sorry, didn't help you earlier,
Yosh, let's go back to Bingo!
Father!
Eh? Why did you,,,
Long time no see,
Akira-kun, you're already this big, huh,,,
Hiro-san, long time no see,
If you want to come to my office, let me know first,,,
Someone called and told me,
No, I didn't plan to come to see you,
If that's the case, I'll do the rest first,,,
Dad has read it, right?
Eh? I do not know,
It's okay, I'm glad Dad has read it,
Yes,
But, there is something more important,,,
I want Dad to meet someone,
WELCOME,
Very weird,,,
Ah, I'm a little late,
Excuse me,,,
I apologize for not introducing myself properly earlier,
My name is Sakamoto Yumi,
Anu,,, I should probably call him senpai, but,,,
I always wanted to introduce Yumi to Dad,
Yumi?
If that's the case, Yasu-san, I'll go back first, okay,,,
No need, stay tuned!
No,,,
Please, let me treat you later!
There's really no need,
I knew I should go home and introduce him to Dad properly,
But, I haven't had time to go home yet,
Therefore, I will say it now,
I want to marry Yumi,
I,,, Sorry, so-and-so,,,
I am seven years older than him,
Yumi has been divorced before,
She and her ex-husband divorced three years ago,
He has hired a lawyer to take care of everything,
So, there are no more problems left behind,
That's the first thing I want to tell you,
And other things,,,
I have a son who is 3 years old,
We live in the same house now,
Akira, wait a moment,
Dad, I know there's something you want to say,
But, I love him,
There are no other women besides her,
Hiro,,, - Yes,
Let us go home,
No, are you sure, Yasu-san? Akira-kun doesn't seem to be finished yet,,,
No problem, let's go back to Bingo,
Dad, it might be rude to interrupt your work like now,
Akira-kun and I will visit you again later,
Akira-kun, see you again,,, Anu,,,
Kensuke,,,
What is it? Are you waiting for us here?
Sorry, coming home tonight, okay?
Thank You,
But, you can't go out of the house without permission, okay?
Yoshi!
Ah, there's snow,
Correct,,,
Snow!
(1 Year Later - 1989)
When I was little, I always missed the opportunity to lift the small shrine,
I've never done it once,
You can participate next time, right?
Thank you for coming,
Why did you come here?
Your own father,,,?
Shoun-san called and told me that father had fallen ill,
Even though we came because we were worried about you,
But, Dad is drinking alcohol again?
Don't worry!
I'm just exhausted and malnourished,
I've been released from the hospital,
Hey,,,
If father doesn't want to forgive me, that's fine,
We'll be back now,
But, I will marry him,
I will definitely marry him,
Come to Kedai Yunagi, we'll talk about it there,
Akira, it turns out you came huh,,,
You are an adult now, Welcome back,
Long time no see,
Nice to meet you, I'm Sakamoto Yumi,
Yes, Let's get to the introduction later, Come on, please sit down!
What about beer? - Can,
Sorry, I can't drink alcohol,
If so, what about juice? There is oolong tea here too,
If that's the case, just oolong tea, please!
Yacchan, those two have been waiting for you,
If so, first of all,,,
Kanpai?
Kanpai! - Kanpai!
This is delicious,
It tastes like fish caught in the Seto Inland Sea,
You know that too, right?
Yes, my hometown is Tsukiji,
So, I know quite a bit about fish,
This mackerel is also tastier when combined with Junmai Ginjo (Japanese sake),
No need to be embarrassed, let's just drink!
Sorry, but my body is a bit,,,
Yumi-chan, I heard you were married once, right?
Yes,
I was also a widow and came back here,
I was married to a farmer,
Well, there's definitely a lot going on, right?
I,,,
I promised him I would resign from my job when I was pregnant,
But, I broke that promise,
So before our baby was born, I separated from my ex-husband,
I have to prepare sake for the festival participants, Come on, come here and help too!
Everyone, please!
Stop!
Oh Akira, how many years has it been?
Kuzuhara-san, long time no see,
Hiro-san, I'm sorry about last year,
It is okay,
Oi Yasu-san, you must be happy to see Akira-kun back, right?
Taeko-san, thanks for the drink,
Even though that person sometimes says unpleasant things,,,,
But the ups and downs of life's scenery are very beautiful, you know,,,
I previously raised my child alone while working,
But, then I met Akira-san,
Akira has a gentle nature,
Living with Yumi-san, perhaps was the right decision,
I think so too,
But, once Akira-san decides something, he won't change it you know,,,
I want to go buy something first, I'm also out of green onions,
Wait, don't go yet!
Let me go!
Even though he has been divorced or already has children,
I think father shouldn't mind,
But, I seem to be really naive,
There's something I want to show Dad,
Akira-san took our photo,
They are very close,
Akira-san and my son,
Recently, he started calling me Papa,
Kensuke is my son, Even though we are not blood related,
He is my son,
Are your ex-husband's parents still alive?
Yes, I think both are still healthy,
His grandparents, must be happy to see this child, right?
Even though his son and daughter-in-law are divorced,
After all, this child was their grandson,
Will you allow them to see this child?
When Kensuke is a bit older, I will consider it,
No, I'm talking about your ex-husband's parents,
I think they don't really love Kensuke,
We'll be back tomorrow,
Oh, Akira,
Shoun-san,,,
We passed each other on the road earlier,
We're planning to go to a festival, right?
What are you doing, idiot?
I heard your conversation just now,
Oi Yasu, are you sure you want to accept him as your son-in-law?
What will you say to Misako-san later?
He's already divorced,,,
Please don't talk like that!
I can't find any other words,
This is Bingo Province,
I'll say what I want, and I'll drink if I want,
Taeko-san, I'd like a beer,
Oi Akira, it might sound a bit harsh, but,,,
He is 7 years older than you, What's more, he has one child now,
It's no wonder Yasu thinks you've been tricked,
If you talk like that,,,,
So, I can't seem to hide it anymore,
Yumi,,,
,,,is pregnant with my child now,
Eh?
Now it's been 3 months,
He will be born next spring,
Oi, take a look at him, Yasu!
This is really a big deal,
What will you say to your parents?
Oi Akira, what did you actually study during college?
Take a good look! Look at the unhappy faces of all of us here!
How about now? Say something, Yasu!
Are you looking down on us, you heretical monk!
There's nothing wrong with Yumi-san,
She's an extraordinary woman, He worked hard for his family,
Hah? Is that all you can complain about?
Akira is a child who was raised equally by all of us,
Don't you have anything to complain about, Yasu?
There are also many things I want to say to Akira,
But, Akira falls in love with her, Akira loves him,
What do I have to complain about that?
She is now pregnant with Akira's child,
We should congratulate them, Congratulations!
Is there anything happier than this news?
Akira's wife is my daughter!
Yacchan, those are nice words,
Yumi-san, I'm really sorry,
You will be a good wife,
It feels amazing,
If this is cleansing from sin, I will accept it gladly,
I'm sorry,,,
And you are also 3 months pregnant, We congratulate you!
Let's pray that Yumi-san and Akira's child will be born safely!
Banzai!
Come on Yasu, you too! Banzai!
Banzai!
All of you,,,
Are you guys conspiring to play tricks on me?
Father!
He became very angry,
Yasu-san!
If you don't help, the little shrine won't be able to be carried properly,
You stupid, I've stopped, I'm too old now,
Yasu-san, have you become a reclusive monk?
If you talk like that, I'll do it!
Bring me my clothes and headband!
Yoshi!
Yumi-chan, is your stomach okay? You don't need to force yourself,
Yes, This is already the third one, so there won't be any problems,
Yasu-san must be happy, this is his first grandchild,
Yes, right,
He can lose control if he can't control his mood,
He's like a baby,
He's been like that since he was little,
Oi Akira,,, Is he there?
Isn't Dad still not feeling well?
You fool, don't come any closer!
You could get hit later,
Look, over the last 40 years, I've been used to carrying something heavier than this,
I understand, Let's go home, okay?
Shut up! Go away!
I will run my own festival,
Father,,,
Come on, lift it!
Oh, that's it!
Well done, Yasu!
Akira!
Father,,,
They are not kites that give birth to eagles,
The father and son were both eagles,
Good morning,
Where are Akira and Yumi-san?
He had returned to the hotel,
It's not like you who drink until dawn,
Oh, I see?
Hey, Miss Taeko,
Eh?
At the end of my life in the end,,,,
,,,maybe in my heart there are only Akira and Misako,
If I had remarried from the start, it would have been different, right?
Even though you are the only one who can't find a partner,
Sis, it's the same, right?
I,,,
Playing Akira's mother is enough for me,
Yacchan, weren't you planning on cleaning the tomb with everyone today?
Bad!
Yacchan, are you okay?
I'm fine,
I will live to be 100 years old,
I will live on, representing Misako too,
(2019)
Hey, we can call a taxi all the way to the front of the street, right?
Yes, maybe,
Hey, how about this?
It looks good,
Let me see!
This one? Brother's taste is really bad,
Eh?
Not this one,,,
Really?
This one is better, This one with a big smile,
What do you think Dad?
This one is definitely better,
Really?
This is pretty good,
His face looked bright,
If that's the case, we have to immediately go to the funeral home and hand over the photo,
Mom, I can change clothes there, right?
Yes, you can,
Hey, does grandpa have a happy life?
(Received the Yamamoto Shugoro Award on May 14, 1997)
(Won the Naoki Award on July 14, 2000)
(Collection of books written by Akira Ichikawa)
Dad will ask him if one day he's there too,
Get out of the way, stinking crow!
Beware of stupid kites!
This feeling that is hidden in my chest,
Like explosives, 150 tons of explosives,
Damn! Fly away a love like this,
Hey, Dad,,,
Let's live together in Tokyo!
I want dad to live a long life,
Because,,,
,,,father has worked very hard all this time,
Stupid!
If daddy wasn't here,,,,
,,,you will have no place to escape anymore,
Eh?
When everything is fine, it doesn't matter if you forget about your home,
But, if you feel like your life is difficult, you have to remember that,
Think that in the end you still have a place to return to,
That way, you can continue to work hard,
Thanks, dad,
The baby was just moving around,
Try touching it too!
Yes, over here,
He is my father's second grandson,
Oh, this is great,
Kensuke!
Get ready, start!
Wait!
Look, I got this,
Grandpa Yasu, come look at this too!
Yosh, I'm coming,
Grandpa is coming!
