Week 1: "Fukui comes in through a merry gate" Episode 1

Wada Kiyomi

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

What is it, Kiyomi?

Kiyomi's mother, Wada Itoko

I'm busy right now.

You're just singing.

I'm doing the accompaniment, too.

I don't understand.

Kiyomi's father, Wada Masanori

What did you want?

I'm staffing to feel sick.

You're carsick? What a baby.

Kiyomi's brother, Wada Shohei

No I'm not.

What is it?

It's okay.

Just throw up... It'll make you feel a lot better.

That's not what meant!

I just have a bad feeling.

I have a feeling nothing good is going to come

of moving to Obama.

Look at that.

It's the ocean.

A town that has charm, with picturesque scenery

and the calm waters of the Wakasa Bay...

The bounties of the sea that you can get there.

Crab... globefish... mackerel... flatfish...

Wakasa Guji (Japanese tilefish)...

We can eat all we want!

No, we won't get to eat all we want.

Thank you all for joining us today...

Fukui prefecture is a wide prefecture.

Our family lived in Sabae on the other side of

the mountain... in other words, in the northern

part of Fukui prefecture.

At the end of the summer of 1982,

we moved to a town called Obama that

faces the Wakasa Bay.

This is our new home.

It's the house where my dad was born and raised.

This is the first time my younger brother and I have been here.

It's so old.

You really are a baby, Kiyomi.

Actually it's been 10 years since my dad's been back home.

Stop it!

Welcome home.

Mom....

Mom!

Itoko...

I'm glad you're here.

I've been waiting for this day.

We'd better unload our things first.

Wada Koume, Kiyomi's grandmother

Grandma?

Shohei?

Yes. I'm Wada Shohei.

I'm in the first grade.

Grandma used to be a geisha.

She's full of spirit, isn't she?

What a good little boy!

Kiyomi! Come here and say "hello" to Grandma, too.

What are you doing?

I'm pleased to meet you, Grandma.

I'm Kiyomi.

I don't believe this!

It's the wrong one again.

Where's my clothes?

Why didn't you write what's in the boxes?

Wait a minute...

See! I found a skirt.

Mom's special talent did come in handy, but...

I thought it was in this box...

I can tell by the smell.

Right on the money.

But her bragging could wear on your nerves.

Bullseye!

Bullseye, she says.

This is your skirt!

On top of that, she makes mistakes.

Never mind. Just wear it for the time being.

Wada Shotaro, Kiyomi's grandfather

Shotaro...

I'm coming in.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

It's been 10 years.

I'm so sorry we haven't been by to see you.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Itoko.

This is Kiyomi and Shohei.

Say "hello" to Grandpa.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm sure Mom already told you...

I'm busy right now.

Your ears aren't too busy, are they?

I don't have anything to say to you.

I came to talk to you.

At least listen to what he has to say, Shotaro.
