This is Chloe.
Welcome. How are you?
Thank you for coming.
Your trip was long, no?
Thank you.
Chloe has been here
before with Peter, her husband.
Hes a foreigner... a bit weird...
but you might not remember.
I don't remember.
But, when I look at her face...
when I keep looking... I faintly...
But... Peter has passed away.
Oh... why did he die?
Was he sick?
Um... it's kinda difficult to explain.
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that.
But, she's here this time for her work.
She's a photographer.
Good for you
for getting back on your feet!
Yes, but Im not sure
she's gotten over it yet.
She seems like it, but...
Time. It takes quite some time.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
Wow, I'm so pleased.
Thank you very much. Thank you for this.
- Something sweet.
- Thank you. Women love sweets.
Yes, I like them, too.
Ouch!
That hurt!
She got you!
You little...!
I'm surprised this isn't flying away.
- Hmm, youre probably blocking the wind.
- Mhm, Im protecting it.
- I asked her if she was tired.
- Tired?
She just arrived from her flight
so I thought shed be lacking sleep.
- I got flowers.
- Yes, yes.
We have had a bit too much.
Yes, indeed.
Cheers!
Say "goodbye" to Chloe.
When you bought this it wasn't broken
and repaired in kintsugi style right?
Yes, it was in good condition.
Break. How did it break?
It was dropped.
It wasn't me but...
But when it broke
did you find all the pieces?
Yes, I collected hastily...
I couldn't find this one piece.
Rice!
You want to take out the rice?
You're going to pour it?
Okay, then let's do it down here.
Okay, only how ever much
you want to eat.
Just a little?
For three people.
Three people.
Ahhh... that much?!
Not all of this! It's too much!
Will you be able to eat all of this?
Which one is Kin-chan?
All three of them.
- Good to go!
- Okay.
Where could it be?
Try looking for it!
Its hidden!
Chloe, Chloe, this way, this way.
It's somewhere. Its somewhere!
Its somewhere!
Yup!
I got it! Its in here...
In the sand, isnt it?
Wrong!
It's this way.
This way?
One more?
Theres one more!
Can you see it? Can you see it?
Chloe will go.
It's this way?
Nope!
Come.
Okay.
Nope.
- What? It's been found already?
- Yup, it was.
Oh, no way.
- Okay then, one more time?
- You found it, but you cant eat it!
I will!
Okay. I'm not looking.
Okay.
It makes me want to do it, too.
Watching this.
Yes, we sometimes
do a soba get together.
- Do you hold your breath while cutting?
- Yes, I do.
And I'm counting.
Yes, I do 30 counts for one portion.
We call this one koma.
Nice to meet you.
This is Ms. Chloe.
But that means everyone is
bringing their own sadistic side.
That doesn't answer anything, does it?
Good job everyone!
Good job!
Four plus four equals...
She says one more time.
She doesnt want to.
First you grow! And stay grown.
And walk.
Can you walk very big?
Come on, walk!
Yes, we walk!
Great! That's wonderful!
- What's this?
- Yes, what in the world is this?
It's a mysterious move isn't it?
Ok, next. Can you get
really small and walk?
We crush the crabs and make it into soup.
This is so delicious.
- What? Its alive?!
- We crush the ones that are alive.
- It's pretty cruel.
- Right. Cooking is cruel, in fact.
Our Tajima is crushing it.
- What, youre crushing it?
- I see.
Hes crushing it...
with the command of our head chef.
Chloe will like something
like this, probably.
- She likes it?
- Mhm, things like these...
Taste is really good but...
Taste too but I think
the way you prep it...
I think shell say
shed want to take photos.
I thought of posting it
on Instagram and advertising it
but I just couldnt post such thing.
I want to show this to Chloe, too.
Shed say, I want to shoot this.
Really?
- Does it look tasty?
- I don't know...
- I think it otherwise but...
- You want some?
Uh, Yeah.
Whos Chloe?
Um, shes a photographer
and shes in Japan for work now.
How should I say...
She takes photos of people
who are like professional at something.
That seems to be the theme.
Something like that.
- Shes into something like that?
- Im not sure if she
likes something
like that
but its... ah, like a shock.
I see.
Ah, scared me. I thought it was
time for the crab already.
That's fast.
Is she your girlfriend?
Shes not my girlfriend.
Um, shes my friends wife.
I see.
Well, her husband passed away.
Hmm I see.
Where did you meet them?
They came to my concert
a long time ago.
Somewhere. Where was it?
Its been a while
so England or... England.
I think it was England. Or Munich.
Take four steps
to get to the center.
At four, your hands meet.
Yes, and this part is easy.
Open your arms like this...
and go up next
then crouch down,
and then up.
Ok, up to here for now.
Two rounds?
Yes, right. Open wide...
and then from above.
- You open first...
- Yes.
- and then this twice?
- Once.
This is only once, yes.
- Really?
- Mhm.
- That means you like it?
- Ummm Ill drink it if its there.
- Theres a lot of sugar in that.
- Ah, right.
Theres more sugar than Coke.
- Right... but Ill probably still drink
it because
I like it.
- You are right. I support that.
Today marks the third date.
Mhm.
- It was.
- Yes, it was.
Yes. I... didnt realize until now.
- I knew, too. That it was the third time.
- Ah, I see.
So... do you want to come over?
Your place is fine, too.
Ummmm but...
Its still the third time.
What?
- Early... Isn't it?
- Early?
Is there such thing
as early or late?
No, but you know dont you think
you need to hop, step and jump?
Youre so kind.
Is it okay
that youre drinking this late?
- It's fine, it's fine.
- Really?
I keep chatting
because its been really fun.
- No, no, Im alone now anyway.
- Ah, is that so?
What about your wife?
My wife is, um... is spending time with...
Yes.
Her sister.
Ah, is that so?
Is she traveling or something?
- Now?
- Now, yes, yes. My
wife... um... her
sister...
Shes with her.
- Ah, I see.
- She's with her.
- Im sorry. I didnt know.
- Dont worry, dont worry.
Now, um,
its not a rare disease.
- Breast cancer.
- Yes. Ahh.
Has she been sick
for a long time now?
Mhm, quite a while.
Cancer being cancer.
Well, but, how should I put it?
It becomes our normal everyday life.
At first, its 'non-ordinary'
and its surprising but....
How to say...
Most of our customers
have been taken by the supermarket.
You look great though. Probably because
you drink lots of soy milk?
You don't?!
What do you drink then?
I... milk is...
Milk?!
- No, I can't do milk either.
- Ah okay.
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you.
- We're so close!
- You all good?
- It's like a super crowded train.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
How do you say
"super crowded train"?
It doesn't exist
in foreign countries, huh?
Oh well.
Although I dont know
what youre talking about.
Ill give one to you, too, next time.
Marker-san?
I heard Marker.
Look at the rain.
Rain?
- Can you see the rain?
- I can't.
Ah I can see.
There you go.
Baby.
Cute.
I want camping, too. Me too.
We should go together next time.
That sounds great, doesn't it?
He doesn't want to be touched right now.
He'll come back.
Don't chase him around too much.
Wow. Super!
You eat this with rice.
- What a difference it makes when its
freshly
grated.
- Yes, the grated wasabi.
- She was moved to tears.
- It makes you cry, yes.
- Let's eat!
- Dig in!
We have this for your tears.
Enjoy!
Eat it with a smile!
It... is... delicious.
- It's delicious but... wow!
- It makes you tear up, huh?
- It clears up my nostrils.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Good for flu and hay fever.
You look like you're about to die!
- I feel like my soul is leaving my body
like... - Leaving, eh?
Keep goin'.
Maybe a bit more seaweed.
A song parody.
A parody?
Song parody...
- You know...
- You're gonna play?
The snail song.
It's spiky...
... and goes...
Snail, snail, little snail...
Your saddle and gyaa, gyaa, gyaaaah!
Ooh look who's here?
- Toshi,
- Sorry...
- No worries. What happened?
- I'm late.
- I had to drop off my daughter to my
friend's
place.
- Ah I see.
You should've
just brought her here.
- No, she would've been bothersome.
- Such nonsense. Ok then, lay down.
- Hah, so abrupt.
- Okay?
Im doing this thing
called a dream circle and...
- Dream circle?
- Mhm, you do it together.
Lay down and hold hands.
Yes.
Mhm, yes, yes, yes
and can you stretch your legs?
Stretching legs... Yes.
Ok then.
Can I squeeze in-between there?
You ok?
Thank you.
Ok then, Toshi.
I will be saying things.
- Yes.
- So please listen and follow along.
Yes.
Ok, now close your eyes...
and breathe slowly.
Kudo, what do you see?
Umm... a wooden chair.
Toshi, what do you see?
A fireplace is burning.
A fireplace?
How do you feel?
I am cold... I think?
Like, I'm trying to get warm.
Frying one side.
It's good for a song title.
Let's play together!
- A present?
- Mhm.
- Do you like it?
- Mhm.
Hello!
Clap your hands, Futaba.
Cute?
Fox.
Cat.
Child.
Koemann.
What?
What's that?
Ku!
Whale poop.
What?
It said whale poop.
Can you hear me?
What?
You want me to go away?
Why?
Ouch.
It still hurts.
I'm gonna peel this off.
Ouch.
You want to take it off?
I'm ok now.
You good?
Ah, great.
Time for a snack.
- Fish flakes.
- Mhm.
- Mayonnaise.
- Yes.
Ok, say thank you.
- Oreo!
- Mhm.
Oreo?
Isn't Oreo chocolate?
Just a little!
No, no. That's not good.
It's about ready. You can flip it.
- Flip it?
- Yeah, together with Chloe.
The cat.
It's a little difficult so...
No, no, no, no.
Ok, I'll do it.
I can do it.
Oh no, oh no.
That's enough, that's enough.
Let's put it together.
Let's shape it into a circle.
We made it all together.
All three of us. Three of us.
Again?
We can make it prettier next time.
Let's make it pretty!
Shhh... It's a secret.
Someone's here.
- Arent you going?
- I am.
Coming!
She's here.
Who came?
Grandma.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Mrs. Ueno. It's a pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
This is a gift for you.
- It's a pear.
- A pear!
It's a giant pear!
A pear. Yes.
In the East... Pear Mountain...
In the West... the other one...
Face the opponent...
Ready! Go! Go! Go!
Go, Go!
Ah, you scared me!
- Don't throw it.
- Pear Mountain wins!
Fu-chan, what are you doing?
- Fu-chan, we don't get it at all.
- What were you doing?
- I'm going to sit here.
- Yes, please do.
- Was that sumo wrestling?
- Yeah.
- We are playing a made up game like
Hanafuda.
- Ok, I'm going.
- Ay, you're not listening.
- I'm going!
Hey, hey! Dont leave me hanging!
Ok, go ahead.
Here it comes.
Mom...
Chloe and I... we're just friends.
Oh?
Yeah.
Well, she's very cute
and sweet isn't she?
What a bummer.
It's not a bummer.
Excuse me.
Good day.
Is it okay?
-Right.
-Thank you.
What is this string for?
- This is... ah, this?
- The string that's tied.
Yes, she's asking why you tie it.
Mr. Wind... he sways left and right
and knocks things over.
And when it faces all over the place,
they won't bloom nicely.
So I do my best.
I do this for them and Im satisfied.
And I pat myself on the back.
Picture?
Do you know what this is?
I cant really see.
Let me take my hat off.
Well, that's
not very interesting, is it?
Thank you.
You may have been someone
who used to be by my side.
Could it be some kind of fate?
Something is definitely
drawing us together.
How amazing.
I wish you happiness.
Thank you.
It feels nice, doesn't it?
It feels nice.
Can I sing you my favorite song?
I don't think you'll understand,
but I'll try singing it just a little bit?
I've forgotten it.
I used to love this song so much.
Now I've forgotten it.
- It's sparking.
- It's hot there. Be careful.
This one.
This is the one.
This is great, isn't it?
Let's throw one more.
One more...
I'm going to throw it in.
Oh! It went out.
That one... pass me one.
Chloe-san... can you pass me one?
Can I throw this in?
Faster!
Faster!
Faster!
Faaasstter!
Fu-chan, you're going to be the devil!
It's tag!
This is not tag!
It is!
It is not!
It is tag!
Tag!
It's not tag!
When did this turn into tag?
Wanna watch?
You didn't record it!
You!
She says you're running out of space.
