Breath, Amuse Soft, TV Osaka, Bitters End, Show Gate, Smoke present

Miyata Junichi is in the middle pack.

He's waiting for his moment.

Big gaps between them in the backstretch.

Miyata Junichi is still behind. Will he do it in the homestretch?

Miyata Junichi.

Does he have it in him?

Whip! And another whip.

Miyata Junichi is moving up.

Now he's past the fourth corner.

Into the homestretch!

Miyata Junichi comes from behind and passes them all.

Miyata Junichi takes the lead.

Miyata Junichi finishes first.

Bicycle Parking

Miyata-San, aren't you having breakfast?

- Miyata-San! - What?

Don't "what?" me, please.

No breakfast for you?

- No. - Really?

You'll be hungry.

Good morning.

Miyata-San, coming?

What's wrong?

Miyata Junichi comes in first.

Welcome!

- Hi. - Welcome.

Is beer okay?

I have more time now.

We can meet more often for a drink.

Must have been hard with your father.

It wasn't so bad, but...

While taking care of my father for seven years my wife leaves.

That's nothing unusual nowadays.

Oh, thanks for coming to the funeral.

How's your work? Still doing delivery?

How old are your kids now?

19 and 18.

They're starting university this spring. My son didn't make it last year.

That's if they pass...

Well, that's a load to carry for you.

No big deal.

Really? It must be tough.

Yeah, it is tough, isn't it? Don't you think so, Miyata?

Hey!

It goes without saying!

Tough being a man today.

When you're 50, you can't go forward or backward.

Don't waste your breath on something so obvious.

And that hat looks ridiculous on you.

What the heck! Don't get mad.

I'm not.

I bought this hat...

to reward myself for surviving the past 7 years.

So don't insult it.

Okay. Sorry.

Hey, you too, look after yourself!

You know your wife wasn't even 40. What kind of cancer was it?

Stomach.

Stomach cancer. So, be more careful.

You should be, Miyata.

Okay?

Sanada.

What?

There's something wrong with my stomach lately.

So you shouldn't be drinking. Hey, Miyata!

Come on, man!

Hey.

Hey.

All the horses are at the gate.

Miyata Junichi started.

A Man with Style

Miyata Junichi is still behind.

Does he have it in him?

Whip!

Once, twice...

Miyata Junichi is moving up now.

Miyata Junichi is...

What?

How did your entrance exams go?

I got into Sugi University without an exam, but I failed the other.

Just the Economics Dept. of Sugi University... I see.

I'll settle for that school.

You'll settle for that school... I see.

Is that a private school?

Eh?

Obviously! There's no way I could get into a national university.

Where is it? Tokyo?

What?

Obviously.

If you treat me like a moron just because I didn't go to high school,

you'll be sorry!

Where's Momoko? Her exam results should be out now, too.

I don't know. She must still be out.

Why? Where is she this late?

I said I don't know.

The timing was way off!

This face is hilarious!

You look more weird, Momoko!

No way!

Another, to celebrate our exam results?

Great idea!

It's so great we'll be at the same university.

I'm excited, too.

Excuse me for a second.

Well, we meet again!

Are you free now?

Sort of, if you're okay with 30,000 yen again.

Fine.

Let's go have a nice dinner, too.

Okay.

30,000 for sure?

Yeah, for sure.

Sorry, Momoko, I've got to go. Bye.

Choose a favorite background.

Hold the pose.

Here we go.

Smile!

Three, two, one.

What?

If you're hungry, have the stew I've made.

It's too heavy, and it's fattening.

What were you doing?

What were you doing so late?

I was taking purikura with a friend.

Purikura? What is it?

It's like photos...

What does it matter?

Is it a kind of machine by any chance?

- What? - Is it?

Is it not a machine?

Yes, so? Don't yell at me.

You should have answered me when I asked you first.

Okay, okay. I've got it.

What's interesting about a machine?

Don't get into them.

Or you'll be lost. Do you understand?

Just do your own laundry.

I'll do my own.

Then, I'll begin Dad's investigation.

What is it?

Kyodo Women's College, is it private?

What? Obviously!

Momoko has been accepted.

She told me.

That's great, it was her first choice.

Are you worried about money?

For our tuitions?

I have money. I have lots of money.

But then...

But what?

Well... nothing.

What is it?

A small problem.

So what's the problem?

Never mind. Don't worry.

It's great both of you passed the entrance exams.

Congratulations.

Are you leaving now, Miyata-San? Going somewhere?

Miyata-San, Miyata-San!

So unfriendly, isn't he?

Mr. Miyata. Mr. Miyata Junichi. Please enter the examination room.

Please relax. It will be over soon.

Oh there's a polyp.

We'll remove it and do a biopsy.

Let me disinfect your arm.

I have to prick you now.

Please have a seat there.

You can put your things in that basket.

Well... I...

Please come back for the biopsy result in a week.

Are you okay?

Sanada.

I'm going to die of cancer soon.

My wife had the same symptoms.

I just went to the hospital.

Have you told Toshiya and Momoko?

There's no way I could. I'm a man.

I would never worry my kids!

I probably have three months to live, if I'm lucky.

Don't be such a weakling.

I understand how you feel, but...

If I can't open up to my only friend, who else?

I didn't mean that...

Get it together!

There's something wrong if I can't share with my only friend.

I said I'm not telling my kids.

That makes you the only one to talk to.

Miyata,

Miyata, I'm sorry.

No, it's my fault.

Thanks for coming today.

But there's something I must do before I die. Sorry.

Thank you for coming.

Okay, Miyata. Let's get going.

This is so cool.

Ah, why don't you do paid dates? You'd earn a lot.

Paid dates? No, not for me.

It's so easy. We've already passed the exam for the same university, too.

- Right? - But I'm okay.
