EPISODE 4: GRANDPA AND GRANDMA
AND THE CULTURE FESTIVAL
Grandpa and Grandma and the Culture Festival.
Tokyo must have a lot of foreign cars
Compared to that, this place
only has light cars and trucks.
Well, in a land of snow
with lots of gravel ways,
cars with low height
cannot be driven here.
Even if we bought one,
there's not many places to have it serviced.
Oh, that woman
Hello, got a minute?
Yes, how can we help?
We're plannin' to spray
some pesticide here tomorrow.
If you mind the smell,
you can take another way home.
Still, it ain't dangerous, though.
O-Okay.
Thank you for telling us.
Oh, the usual lads.
Careful on yer way home.
They have Ferrari here
Y-Yeah
SPRAYER
Sprayer, a pesticide spraying vehicle.
Due to its high price, it is shared
with several households.
Shota.
Sure, I asked you to ask around
for help with the attic
But why this guy,
out of all people?!
Oh, well. Come in.
The second floor has stuff my father
and grandfather had piled up.
CARVED TABLE
CARVED TABLE
A carved table inside a wooden box.
Scrolls of Yoshitsune's legend
with Takeda's crest.
And also a grain fan.
Shota, this attic is probably
a gold mine, y'know?
That's a big landowner for ya.
Really?
Are we throwin' all this away, Igarashi?
Yeah. It'll only be a pile of waste
for future generations.
Grandpa, are we throwing
this black crate away too?
Yeah. Throw everything away.
Grandpa?
Sorry, but what's that long black crate?
Shota, that's called a nagamochi.
It's probably Misako's
Your grandma's trousseau.
Dear
Sorry, could you leave me alone
until I can decide?
Shota, let's go downstairs.
Okay.
Is this North Town's Board of Education?
I want to discuss about
safekeeping cultural assets
So smart
So you will look into the antiques
at a later date
Yes. Please do.
Anyway, we got everything
to be thrown away out, eh.
Yeah, as for the other stuff,
I'll just put it back inside.
What do you want to do
with this storage house now?
I'll tear it down in the future.
My kids decided not to continue my farm,
and built their houses in the city.
There's no one here
that can fix this storage house.
Then, I'll just take matters into
my own hands to make me feel better.
I'll go call my friend who works
at a demolition company.
Get some rest.
'Kay.
Shota.
Ya thinkin' about stayin' here in the future?
In the future?
I can't say for sure now,
but I want to go to Tokyo
to become a soccer athlete.
Soccer? That's amazin'.
But inheriting the things
Grandpa has worked hard on
won't be so bad, I think.
Soccer athlete, office worker, farmer
No matter what job I'd land myself to,
it's this very land
that will bring me that far.
To turn my back against
my homeland that raised me
Feels like so wrong.
So
Even if I can become an athlete or not,
eventually, I think of running
the farm someday
Heisuke, what's wrong?
Sorry Even though
we've discussed this far
The plan is cancelled!
What?! Hey!
Ya got a good grandkid!
To think I'd be cryin' in front of you
Come on!
THE YOSHITSUNE LEGEND SCROLLS WERE COUNTERFEITS
MADE BY MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER
The Yoshitsune Legend scrolls were counterfeits
made by my great-great-grandfather.
I went to the uni library, which is
open to the public on weekends.
Thought I'd study for the exams
like a uni student
That was the plan, though
But I hardly have any motivation!
I said something terrible to Grandpa
when we were talking about studying
Grandpa teaching me?
No way.
You didn't even go to high school.
Hey, he's so cool, isn't he?
Is he a student here?
Why is he here?
Calm down, me.
I'll just pretend I didn't see him
before it gets troublesome.
Oh, I can't focus at all!
What's he looking for in this place?
That's high school textbooks?
What is he even studying for?
Grandpa didn't go to school
because he didn't want to,
but because he couldn't.
Could he be
actually a smart person
if the times allowed it?
The adults keep telling me
to "study more" so much, it's annoying
So many of them have been
forcing me to study
But the one giving me
this much motivation
is Grandpa, and that bothers me.
Thanks to you, I was able to get
a single digit rank in the midterm exams.
Thanks.
Did I do something?
Hey, you know the hot couple
from the South Town?
Yeah. They went to
the North Town Home Centre.
Hey, you know anything
about them, Mino?
Huh?
Nothing I'm aware of.
I have something to do today,
so I'll be going home.
Bye-bye.
She's been leaving early these days.
Now that's suspicious
No one would believe me anyway
You don't have to think so deeply
about that, you know?
But thanks, Igarashi.
You help me not only with studying
but also with life advice
It's no big deal.
By the way, I heard you were cleaning up
the storage house with Grandpa the other day.
He's really a big help to us.
He's been praising you a lot.
Did you do something to him?
No, I didn't
Do you adore couples like
Grandpa and Grandma, Igarashi?
Adore?
Well, I do think they are
the ideal couple.
That's nice to see.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing.
H-Huh
If you don't mind, can I ask
for advice again next time, Shota?
Sure, if you're okay with me
Where are you going?
Sorry, need to wash my hands.
Mino! Shota's a great kid!
There's hardly any kids like him!
I want him as my grandkid!
Grandpa's approved of him
MURMUR
It's just a studying session,
MURMUR
not a date, not a date
A DATE
Culture festival?
We'll be doing a cafe in our classroom.
I can go to the school with Grandpa!
PESTICIDE - MEDICAL CHECK-UP
PESTICIDE - MEDICAL CHECK-UP
Err, I gotta spray pesticide on Saturday,
and go to Takahiro's hospital for
medical check-up the next day
I can only borrow
the sprayer on that day,
and I really gotta go get checked up
Huh? Can't you at least come visit, Grandma?
I can't go there without Grandpa.
Oh, this is for the next two weeks
So
I think I'll be goin'.
Mind joinin' me?
Oh, I guess I have to!
I'm busy with housework,
but I can't refuse my grandkid's request!
Grandpa, don't you think
she's a bit strange today?
It's just you.
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SO MUCH, I CAN'T SLEEP
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SO MUCH, I CAN'T SLEEP
Looking forward to it so much, I can't sleep
THE DAY OF CULTURE FESTIVAL
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
How long since I was last here?
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
Probably since a typhoon a long time ago.
Back then, we couldn't even go around
the school ground in peace.
- She's frolickin' like a kid
- Grandpa, look!
- She's frolickin' like a kid
- Grandpa, look!
- She's really lookin' forward to this
- She's really lookin' forward to this
TAKOYAKI
TAKOYAKI
Welcome!
Care for some apple juice?
We have Frankfurt sausages too.
I'm so sorry!
What do I do
Oh, my. This is something.
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
Um, I have a friend in the Sewing Club,
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
so I can prepare you a change of clothes
NORTH TOWN HIGH FESTIVAL
I'll take the offer, then.
SEWING CLUB - NEW PRODUCTS ON DISPLAY
SEWING CLUB - NEW PRODUCTS ON DISPLAY
Wow
I knew it'd look good on you, but
You're just like a doll.
Um, would you like to wear this as well?
Nah, I'll do with a normal one!
Huh, so you got so many
interviews for marriage, eh
From the son of a lord's family,
to a coal mine company president,
a lot of them talked to my father.
What did you do
in the high-class school?
I used to love music,
so I played koto, shamisen, and piano.
I wish I could see you play for once
You, as a flower on a high peak
Um, Mister.
She's done changing,
so you can come inside.
Oh, thanks.
It's been a while
Shozo.
FREE SPACE - PLEASE EAT AND DRINK HERE
I'm truly sorry.
When I started wearing this,
the feelings from back then
came back to me.
My speech naturally turned back to normal
I thought you lost your memories!
So she's just actin'
But, those eyes
They're without a doubt the ones
I saw back when she acted all high.
I never thought I would be coming
to school with you at this age.
R-Right
I see
If I went to the same school as her,
I guess this is how it would feel.
What a strange feeling.
I should tease her a bit.
Ms. Sasaki, do you have anyone you like?
None.
CAMERA 1
CAMERA 1
I have no interest in men.
CAMERA 1
CAMERA 1
Is that so
CAMERA 2
Is that so
CAMERA 2
CAMERA 3
This is bad
Is she gonna be like this
the whole day?
I can't, this is makin' me itchy.
"But, if she doesn't have anyone I like,
"I might actually have a chance at her."
70 years ago, one man had the same idea
when approachin' me
I couldn't help but laugh.
Stop teasin' me, Grandma!
What do we do?
It's hard to get in
You go first!
No, you!
RATTLE - SHOCK
MAID CAFE
Thank you for waiting!
A maid cafe? This is nice.
What a happy space.
Thanks.
So you're her relative?
I thought you're Mino's boyfriend.
Thank you for taking care of Mino.
I feel bad for sayin' this,
but the customers
Yes.
It's just as you can see.
Class 3-3 is having an authentic ramen shop
with the help of a guardian
So the customers are lining there
The power of adults, eh?
Even though the main cast are
the students, that's just unfair.
We have Saito here,
so some guys do come here
Now is just about luring
the girl customers
I see
Um, at this rate, I think we should just
ignore student independence here
Huh?
Is there anyone here that would
appeal to female demographic?
Huh?
Wish they had a waiter
just like you, Grandpa.
Huh?
Hey Yer scarin' me
MAID CAFE
What? Class 3-2 are stealing the customers?
We're a pro ramen shop here!
A lot of old ladies are lining
up for some reason.
Two cups of coffee coming in!
One pancake here!
MAID CAFE
Wow, felt like a princess.
MAID CAFE
So good to see that in our age.
MAID CAFE
I can see why the young folks are screamin'.
Oh, my!
Here is your order, Lady.
Sorry, can we have another serving?
Sure thing, Lady.
Hey, that's cheating, Class 3-2!
Don'tcha underestimate
the information well of the elders.
We're completely ignorin' student
independence here, Grandma.
NORTH TOWN HIGH'S PROGRESS
Isn't this Mr. Heisuke?
I see some familiar
faces here and there
If you went here, you would've
been in one of the pictures
Sorry, uh
Oh, no need to worry.
What? Ya wanna go to a higher school?
We ain't got so much money.
Also, yer the eldest son of Saito.
Grow some apples,
just like yer predecessors.
Just give it up.
Ya ain't got no choice.
Sure, there are times when I thought
of that after someone told me.
But now, I feel like I'm glad
I didn't have to go to school.
You feel so?
I gained so much
because I didn't go to school.
If I went to school,
I wouldn't have met you.
When this picture was taken,
we were probably at the secluded shrine.
My not bein' in this picture
is proof that I was with you.
Even if I went to school, I'd still
Grandpa
They're takin' our picture now
When flirtin' at school,
we should choose an empty classroom,
or behind the sports hall.
As for love confession
We've already done it
more than half a century ago.
Come on!
MAID CAFE
CLOSED
I want to invite Saito for the camp fire
Mino, want a bite?
Her grandma's here,
so it's hard to approach her!
Mino, ya goin' to the camp fire?
I want to, but I have
no partner to dance with.
What's wrong, Shota?
No, well
Sorry, Mino.
We're goin' home now.
Huh? Grandpa!
Come on, ya should change yer clothes!
How long are ya plannin' on stayin'?
- At least let me see
- Come on, Grandma!
- At least let me see
- Come on, Grandma!
- the camp fire!
- the camp fire!
Um, Saito
So, if you like
Camp fire
I wanted to see Mino dance
Now, now, Grandma.
We shouldn't step in too much.
Sometimes, it's our job
as adults to overlook them.
The feeling when wearing
that uniform at the festival
For a moment, I'm sure
I went back to the old days.
When I was young.
Now, I gotta go back to my original face
for the administration at the town hall.
I just have to spin the hourglass now.
Today's forecast: Clear.
It'll be a warm, pleasant day today.
Morning, Grandma.
Wow, yer hair's black
A strange board with a person in it
WEATHER FORECAS
A strange board with a person in it
WEATHER FORECAS
A furnace that already has fire in it.
A refrigerator so cold without ice.
And also a familiar scent
- Grandma
- The calendar
says an unfamiliar era,
REIWA
says an unfamiliar era,
REIWA
several decades from my era.
REIWA
I don't know who this "Grandma"
you are referring to is,
but are you meaning to say it's me?
Ine Sasaki.
That's my name.
