March, 1978.

Look!

I have a confession...I love you.

But why? I don't even know you.

But I know you very well.

What do you know about me?

Mayumi Sawada. You're on the track team.

You hate studying...You joke around a lot.

You live in a huge house. You have 2 older sisters...

And...and...

Everyone in detention idolizes you...

the reason you love me?

I also think we have a lot in common.

You have some nerve!

But I give you credit.

So I won't turn you down. I'll just pretend this never happened.

Thank you.

OK, now go!

Yes, ma'am.

Better luck next time!

Why'd you turn him down?

He's a nice guy.

Because Mayumi likes the captain of the track team.

Really?!

Hey! Keep it down!

What do you see in that greaseball?

He's cool.

She goes for the slick-haired

"old-school" actor type.

That's him all right.

No way!

Yes, it is!

He's going to college in Tokyo, you know.

What? Why Tokyo?

How should I know?

Who'd you hear that from?

A little bird told me.

Your little bird is usually wrong.

On your mark.

Get set.

Go, Hayashi.

You can do it, Osada!

See ya.

Bye. See you.

Bye!

See you.

Sir!

What is it?

Mr. Suzuki is here.

Hello.

What can I do for you?

We're opening a new department store in town.

We'd like to carry your eggs in our food section.

Thank you so much.

Your eggs are very popular amongst our customers.

Well, thanks.

How is your daughter, Sachiko?

Fine.

I heard she's getting married.

Yes...

Can you give this to her?

Thank you.

Nice doing business with you.

I'm home!

In here.

Yukie, you're home?

Of course. Sachiko's getting married.

But that's not until Sunday.

It's only Thursday.

I took a few days off to see my dear family.

You only live an hour away by train.

Mayumi, go change your clothes!

OK.

I'm taking a sip of your coke!

Oh my god! It's soy sauce!

The soy sauce bottle broke.

Why didn't you tell me!

Because you didn't ask!

Yuck! I need some tea.

I'm home.

Dad's home.

Everyone, get ready for dinner.

Yes, mom.

Did you meet him already?

Who?

Sachiko's fiance.

He came over to meet us.

What's he like?

His face looks like...

that uni-brow actor!

I know which one!

He looks nothing like him.

How's work?

We're so busy,

I barely have time to do laundry.

Why don't you come back home?

You can't be paid very much.

Why did you have to move out?

I want to be independent.

What about you, Yukie?

What?

Any wedding prospects?

I have no interest right now.

My job is my life.

What's your type, Mayumi?

Someone tall with good skin.

Maybe someone older.

Sounds good.

I think I want...someone rich.

Yukie!

Just kidding.

Joan of Arc was only 18.

Not much older than you...

Look at this.

What is it?

A list of all the girls that are after your sweetheart.

So many!

Gonna knock them off one by one?

But I'm not the fighting type.

You don't have to fight.

Bribe them, my dear.

Be a politician!

Sawada! Be quiet!

Sorry!

Captain!

Sawada.

I heard you set a new record at the preliminaries.

Yes! It was a breeze.

That's great!

I just did what you told me to do.

Did I tell you to do something?

When I joined track, you said, "Just keep on running."

Did I really say that?

I love it! He doesn't even remember!

I can't tell if you're serious or joking.

I'd never joke about something like that.

Sit down.

OK!

Thank you!

Isn't this your stop?

Captain!

You're graduating soon.

Yes, I am.

May l...

May l...

Never mind!

You're getting better at this.

Well, I am a professional, you know.

Remember when you used to

practice haircuts on me?

I looked like I was wearing a helmet.

You'll never forgive me for that, will you?

How's school anyways? Studying hard?

It's OK, I guess.

Any plans after graduation?

Not really.

There's nothing you want to do?

Nope.

Any boys you like?

Yeah.

What's he like?

He's nice. The dependable type.

He's smart and cool.

Like an "old-school" actor.

Your teacher?!

No, he's a senior.

You've got weird taste.

How come you're being

so nice to me, anyways?

It gets lonely living on your own.

You start appreciating things...

Any time you need to talk,

you can come to me, OK?

Thanks.

Can someone get the phone?

Sawada Residence.

Hi. It's me.

How are you?

It's been awhile.

Yes, it has.

I heard you're getting married.

Yes...

Congratulations.

Thank you...

I hope you'll be very happy.

Thank you.

I just called to tell you that.

I wanted to tell you in person, but...

No...

Well...I have to go.

Congratulations.

Am I pretty?

You look beautiful.

Can I come visit you sometimes?

Of course, you can.

You're going to be the only one left,

so take care of mom and dad, OK?
