Double Kitchen

Thank you very much...

for attending this celebration.

I am pleased to announce...

Hanaoka Shinobu and Tanimura Miyako...

have been married this day in this hotel.

Allow me now to introduce the happy couple.

The groom Hanaoka Shinobu is the eldest Hanaoka son.

He will be 28 this year.

A top student of commercial science at Waseda University,

he is now employed at Toyo Life,

where he is the hope of Business Department 2.

The groom's father, Hanaoka Keizo...

after serving many years at Marumoto Electric,

is managing chief of general affairs at Marumoto Lighting.

Tanimura Miyako, the only child of the Tanimura family,

was born in Tokyo and will be 29 this year.

After graduating from Waseda in political economy,

she joined the monthly magazine, Wonderful Housewife.

When Miyako was a junior in high school,

her father, Tanimura Kotaro, passed away.

Miyako was raised by her mother, Yaeko,

a professor at Eiyo University.

Though Miyako is a modern career woman,

she enjoys the traditional arts of tea ceremony and cooking.

When Hanaoka introduced Miyako to me,

I said, "You've found a real looker."

You should have seen how bashful he looked.

They met on a scuba diving boat.

People say an older wife is a treasure.

Shinobu found his treasure when he went diving.

And six months later,

he proposed to Miyako, who is a year older.

They will occupy the second floor of his parents' house,

while his parents and two sisters live on the first floor.

Since the newlyweds are both very independent,

they're sure to be happy.

Pushy, choosing the take-home gifts herself!

She's straightforward and very kind.

You never know until you live with them.

I know I'll get along with Machiko.

That's what they always say. But later...

I'll be fine!

We have two kitchens, after all.

I feel awful.

Why're you home so early?

What time are they arriving?

You keep asking that! I'm busy!

Four, right? ...They're on their way.

The rice...!

Five cups...?

Wear kimono today. I laid it out.

I know.

Here, rice cakes.

Just because you wanted some.

I think Miyako prefers creamy desserts.

She'll probably eat one.

We can't.

Your house is closer.

But your family's fixing dinner for us.

You drank too much. Just because drinks were free...

But I like wine.

Two of us... the newlyweds.

There's an extra place.

I hope you didn't invite him!

Shizuka's...

Terada Yunosuke?

Yes, him.

They live together. I can't tell him not to come.

Why do you side with him? I still don't...

That's why Shizuka moved out to live with him!

If not, they might be living upstairs instead of Shinobu.

You're the one who wanted Shinobu.

There's a lot to teach a daughter-in-law.

But... when we're older,

I'd rather have my own daughter change my diapers.

We're not decrepit yet!

Thank you.

Come again.

Rumi, if your report's done, come help!

What's with those two?

You left Rumi alone with that man?!

I wouldn't call him a "man".

You're in my way.

Sit right here... Like the head of the house.

Your reward.

See you, Rumi.

Shizuka...

Nice to see you.

You okay?

You're like Tinkerbell.

...Sticking with that fairy.

I don't stick with him. He's like a pet.

He'll ruin your chances to find a real man.

Don't care. We get along.

He's not lecherous or catty.

Shut the door after you open it!

Yummy!

Wait till everybody's here!

You're not a guest. Lend a hand!

Playing with those gruesome things again!

I'll fry them!

Where's Mr. Terada?

Working.

He's not coming tonight?

That's too bad!

Too bad. Great.

He's on next, Rumi.

There he is! Yunosuke!

He's just sitting there.

That was "Dakara Honey" by Princess Princess.

Thank you, Princess Princess.

Now, for our Super Mania Corner.

Though still unknown,

this group has amassed some wildly devoted fans.

Today's guests...

Girls are swooning all over their live performances.

Here is Black Rain!

What're your daily music activities?

What're your daily music activities?

Please take your places.

That was weird.

Let's hear their song.

He's gone.

There he is!

Gone, again.

It gives me chills.

Shinobu's late.

You're right. Where can they be?

This was her boyfriend in high school!

And this was her college sweetheart!

Isn't he a geek?!

Miyako had awful taste, didn't she?!

She never could pick them!

I hope that doesn't include me.

Why didn't you wake me up?!

Guess I'll go home.

Maybe something did happen.

No, don't worry.

Let's eat! Open the beer, Mama.

The food looks great.

Open up!

I'm sorry we're late!

The newlyweds are here!

Shinobu...!

Go away! You're all in the way!

Here you are.

It couldn't be helped if she was sick.

I'm glad she's fine now.

We thought you divorced or the place crashed.

I'm sorry.

I had one too many.

How was Miyako's mother?

Fine. But she is lonely.

I'm glad we went to see her.

Shinobu's so thoughtful.

That's why we went?

After all, she must be worried.

It's two households in one.

With mother- and sisters-in-law.

But it's two separate dwellings. Mom was relieved.

You should've slept over.

I wanted to, but...

You don't have to worry about us!

We didn't really fix anything special.

If you'd phoned...

Something's boiling.

I'm fixing some rice gruel for you.

Sorry to trouble you.

It wasn't morning sickness?

Thank you for dinner! ...Good night!

More hot water...

How inconsiderate. She knew we were waiting!

But she got sick.

That's because she's weak!

To a clear mind, even fire can be cool!

That's dumb!

All these leftovers. Poor Mama.

Didn't you go to Shibuya for this dried bean curd?

Only you know what I go through.

You're sleeping over, aren't you?

Miyako should be more appreciative...

that she doesn't have to pay rent.

Maybe I should have you move upstairs, after all.

Not again...

What's wrong?

When they shower upstairs, there's less water!
