Island of Light (ゴーヤーちゃんぷるー)

Hi there.

Hello girls.

Good morning.

Good morning, sir.

See you at the session.

Suzuki. You don't look well.

She's here.

You're in the way.

Die!

Hiromi Suzuki

You're late, bitch.

Hiromi, we've finished with you now.

From tomorrow, Aki is in the box.

She was tough on you, wasn't she?

Hiromi, it's either beat her, or get beaten.

Make it a good one or you're back in the box.

Give it to her.

Do it.

Way to go!

Well done, girl.

You're back in the gans.

Hiromi.

Open this door.

This silent treatment is very unfair to us.

Hiromi.

From Nameless Nana: I have nowhere fo stay.

My dad was into his hobby.

He went to the beach fo take photos and he died there.

We never found his body. I can't accept his death.

I don't want to talk about my mother.

From Cat: You don't go fo school, either?

I don't. My parents and teachers give me hell.

They never notice I'm being bullied.

I feel like killing myself.

Nameless Nana

Kill yourself if you want.

Much better than living. Goodbye.

Sending

"Goodbye" is foo sad.

"Things in the adult world are also in your world.”

“Like bullying someone, or being bullied by someone.”

"Bystanders just watch the bullying.”

"Feelings are hidden just like adults do.”

“Nobody knows your pain.”

"A heartache, isn't it?"

Kenmun?

4 months later

Not at all. I made too many.

Please enjoy them.

Thank you.

These teachers today are absolutely useless.

It's not like when your husband was a principal.

Times have changed.

It's just one of those things.

How's Hiromi recently?

Oh, dear. I'd better go now.

See you again.

Don't tell that shrew too much.

That woman is nothing but a gossip-monger.

Will you have some?

No.

When can you fix them?

The bathroom tiles, I mean.

Hiromi?

I'll leave it here.

Come and eat with us for a change.

I'm the one who gets scolded by Grandpa.

We meet again.

Kenmun...

What I need now is water.

I am...

...so thirsty.

But I'll put up with it.

Because I don't want fo be bothered by family.

Not “family” but "them."

Kenmun... where are you now?

Please read the poem by Toson Shimazaki.

Miss Takeyama.

"A coconut drifted ashore from an unknown, faraway island.”

"Travelling all the way from its homeland.”

"How long has it been washed by waves?”

The grave of Hiromi Suzuki

Why is she so nasty to us?

I don't know what to do.

I never had students like that in my day.

They'd look me straight in the eye and say their piece.

I wish her father were here.

Stop being silly. He's dead.

That girl is stubborn, just like her mother.

I bet that's Kenmun!

Nana, you need water?

I'm surrounded by the sea.

I'm down in Okinawa.

He's in Okinawa...

"I'm working as an instructor”

"at a dive school on Iriomote Island.”

"It's a great place.”

"lI bet you're just hanging out doing nothing.”

"Come down and help me."

Iriomote...

Kenmun is on the same island where that woman lives.

Ishigaki Island

Services will resume fomorrow.

Attention. The final ferry from Iriomote

has arrived at pier No. 6.

Today's service from Ishigaki Island has ended.

Kenmun...

One month has passed since Dad was lost at sea.

His funeral was the other day.

No body, so we prayed to his camera instead.

That was quite weird to see.

Kenmun, about my Mother...

It's taboo to talk about her at home.

She opposed the family.

She ran away, leaving me. I was two.

Kenmun, I really need fo get away.

How is the sky over there?

Sending

Message Sent

Going aboard?

Are you a runaway?

What about school?

What's your name?

Aki. Aki Sakuma.

How old are you?

I'm sixteen.

Only women over 30 fudge their ages.

I'm Sayo.

Sayo Yoshida. Call me Sayo.

I'll drive you to the village.

Then help me.

Hurry up.

Hey Ito, I'll deliver your load later.

Grandma Yoshi. It's me, Sayo.

It's from your son in Osaka.

I'll get some pickled papaya.

Did you eat Kimi's Goya?

Was it good?

Her black pearls are great, aren't they?

Black pearls?

Ryukyu black pearls have a mysterious glitter

which brings out kindness.

Each one is different in a subtle way.

Here, pearls have been passed down for generations

as good-luck amulets.

Grandma Yoshi waits every day for her luck.

Sometimes she says "Who are you?"

Thinks we're her grandchildren.

She has many grandchildren.

But they rarely visit her.

She's started to go senile.

The villagers are concerned about her,

so they take care of her.

We're all self-sufficient.

You're all very kind.

We never think like that.

That's delicious.

Drink as much as you want.

You can stay here.

If you want.

How much?

I don't want money.

I live all alone.

The simple life.

But I don't cook.

I'll go back to work. Make yourself at home.

You have no mail

Nameless Nana: I'm Jonely and all alone.

I lock myself up in my room and look at my computer.

Kenmun-: It's beaming sunshine here.

Bright red flowers in bloom. Wish I could show you.

Clear blue sky here. I wish we could share Jt.

Sightseeing already?

Anything good to report?

Let's have lunch after I finish.

Come on. Get in.

Hello, Mr. Inae.

Are you home?

Get the doctor.

It's near Adan, on the shoreline.

Move! Tell him Mr. Inae's collapsed.

No! Which way do I go?

Excuse me. How do I get to the clinic?

Mr. Inae collapsed. Sayo sent me for help.

My husband!

Thank you. I'll get the doctor.

I'll go.

Go straight until you see a field.

It's straight down from there.

Who cares?

Die if you want.

It sure beats living.

Dying...

You won't die. You're full of beans.

Mr. Inae...

...he's dying.

Come here, Yasu.

Take care of her.

Mr. Inae's in danger.
