How about you?

"Tomoyose Store"

Hello, Kafoo.

Got a melon bar!

Wait...

Akio!

Brother.

"Closed for lunch." Brother.

Be faster. Akio.

Tatsuo, what are you doing?

Don't bother again.

Akio's in dreamland.

"Yonaki Island, Okinawa." "To Mr. Tomoyose Akio."

Brother!

Kafoo, let's go.

Wait a moment...

Okay...

Let's go.

Kafoo.

Kafoo.

Come on...

Wait.

Here's the fish you caught.

Eat up.

You overslept again! What are you saying?

Don't be lazy!

What did you do all day?

Same as always.

Ate a curry roll.

You'll be an old man before you know it.

What's this?

The video of that hotel site tour we took in the spring.

The video of that hotel site tourwe took in the spring.

Shunichi insisted I look it over before the meeting.

Come on... Watch your step everyone.

This is a famous matchmaking temple.

It's even been on TV.

"Please bring me happiness."

"I want to be happy one day."

Why don't you try it, brother?

No thanks.

You'd better give it a try.

You're the only bachelor left.

Here.

Never mind.

Just do it, brother.

"Marry me, I'll make you happy."

"Yonaki island, Tomoyose Akio."

I'm full.

Did you receive some news?

What news?

The god told me.

you'd be receiving some news.

Your predictions are usually right.

Like when I got stung by that jellyfish.

And when we found Kafoo!

And...

And about your mother?

Is it good news this time?

It's good news, it's "kafoo".

What "kafoo"?

Good Kafoo.

Not you.

I'm writing you for the first time...

I'm writing you for the first time.

Please forgive me for asking this out of the blue.

I saw your message at the temple.

I wrote you on the glimmer of hope that

glimmer of hope that

your intentions are true.

If you really mean what your wrote,

will you have me for your wife?

I'd like to meet you.

and plan to visit you soon.

To Mr. Tomoyose Akio.

From Sachi.

Sachi?

What?

What?

I'm not taking it seriously.

It must be a joke, right?

Towel...

Kafoo...

Shut up!

Kafoo. You need to teach this dog some manners.

It's you.

Why? You waiting someone?

No.

Kafoo.

Going to a funeral?

Is it the granny living in the back?

What are you talking about?

I haven't done laundry

so I ran out of clothes.

What do you want?

Today's the meeting.

Take it.

Our site visit back in April was very helpful.

Our site visit back in April was very helpful.

As you know

Tohku Island wasn't a tourist spot either.

He sure can talk.

But since we've opened the Resort Tohku island

But since we've opened the Resort Tohku island

They've had 80,000 visitors annually.

That's 4 times Yonaki island.

They promise to protect

our environment, and frankly

considering our current economy...

I'm from these parts, too.

As one of you, a fellow islander

As one of you, a fellow islander.

He's been gone the past 10 years. I hope to do something for this island.

Please believe me.

We can revive this island.

"Marry me."

Brother?

What do you guys think?

Can we have a show of hands

of those in favor of the project?

Cheers...

Thank you. Excuse me.

Shigeko, over there.

Okay.

The wine is served.

The wine is served.

Thanks.

Shunichi hasn't changed, has he?

Cheers...

Why don't you go join everyone

instead of sitting in the corner?

Don't mind me.

You haven't changed either.

Let me pour the wine for you.

Long time no see.

Didn't you come here to work?

So, Shigeko came back to the island.

She's still a catch.

Ask her out.

No thanks.

Why? You used to like her.

Should I plan a class reunion?

Never mind!

I'm in shock.

I've been away for 10 years

and you haven't changed one bit.

What are you going to do?

You need some change in your life.

You never go out.

The only woman in your life is granny.

You plan to run your poor shop by yourself forever?

You're drunk!

Never mind him, brother.

So you're a big shot in a resort development company?

I came back here because I got a divorce...

At least you tried.

There are some of us who never even try, the cowards.

Shunichi.

You're a coward!

That's why you'll never get married.

I think I've had enough, too.

You talk too much!

Kafoo, take it easy.

Kafoo.

Kafoo...

Kafoo...

Sorry.

It's okay, he's adorable.

What breed is he?

A Labrador.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Is this Yonaki Village?

Yes, it is.

Can I ask one more question?

Yes?

Do you know where Tomoyose Akio lives?

That's me...

Nice to meet you, I'm Sachi.

Wait...

It's hot!

Sorry to barge in on you.

Me, too...

What am I saying?

When did you arrive?

This morning.
