Synopsis: Family and friends of the late Shuzo Miwa have gathered for his annual memorial service, this one marking the seventh anniversary of his passing. Three of his long time friends - married Shuzo Taguchi, married Soichi Mamiya, and widowed Seiichiro Hirayama - have long known and admitted to each other that they have always been attracted to his widow, Akiko Miwa, who they believe has gotten even more beautiful as she has matured. The three friends take it upon themselves to find a husband for the Miwa's now twenty-four year old daughter, Ayako Miwa, who they believe as beautiful as her mother, and who, as a pure innocent, deserves a good husband. Their self-appointed task is despite them knowing that Ayako does not want them to do so. She doesn't want to get married, at least not yet, as she struggles with her traditional sensibilities in post-war modern Japan. Her first priority as she sees it is to take care of her widowed mother, who would be alone if she were to get married. The diff

00:
30:32,020 -- 00:30:34,898

l'm tired. l went lots of places today.

379

00:
30:35,140 -- 00:30:38,849

Mr Taguchi's matchmaking failed.

380

00:
30:39,580 -- 00:30:42,253

Really? Why?

381

00:
30:42,380 -- 00:30:44,291

The young man already has a fiance.

382

00:
30:44,500 -- 00:30:47,094

He's always doing stuff like that.

383

00:
30:47,540 -- 00:30:51,055

lt's so true.

But now there's another candidate.

384

00:
30:51,820 -- 00:30:54,414

Another one?

l'm so popular all of a sudden.

385

00:
30:54,540 -- 00:30:58,055

-Who's arranging it this time?

-Mr Mamiya. He sounds nice.

386

00:
30:58,180 -- 00:31:00,455

-They work at the same company.

-l see.

387

00:
31:01,100 -- 00:31:04,251

He's going to send us

this young man's photo and information.

388

00:
31:04,740 -- 00:31:06,253

l'm going to boil some water.

389

00:
31:08,540 -- 00:31:13,409

Mr Mamiya thinks very highly of him.

390

00:
31:15,140 -- 00:31:18,291

He wanted to mention him the other day.

391

00:
31:19,940 -- 00:31:21,931

He says he wants a photo of you.

392

00:
31:26,060 -- 00:31:28,938

-You know, Mum...

-What?

393

00:
31:29,900 -- 00:31:33,415

-Could you decline?

-Why?

394

00:
31:35,540 -- 00:31:38,577

lt'll be harder to say no

once we have his picture and information.

395

00:
31:38,700 -- 00:31:40,656

And don't give him my photo, either.

396

00:
31:43,180 -- 00:31:45,011

-Do you want some black tea?

-Sure.

397

00:
31:48,100 -- 00:31:50,773

ls there somebody you like?

398

00:
31:51,740 -- 00:31:53,093

Not yet.

399

00:
31:53,220 -- 00:31:55,176

Then why won't you consider this man?

400

00:
31:55,300 -- 00:31:57,860

So many people are concerned

about your well-being.

401

00:
31:57,980 -- 00:31:59,857

You should be grateful.

402

00:
32:00,020 -- 00:32:03,057

l know,

but l'm fine with things the way they are.

403

00:
32:03,620 -- 00:32:04,655

But...

404

00:
32:04,780 -- 00:32:07,340

Really, l don't want to get married yet.

405

00:
32:07,660 -- 00:32:10,936

My goodness.

Will you sit down and listen to me?

406

00:
32:16,940 -- 00:32:18,259

What?

407

00:
32:18,420 -- 00:32:20,729

-Tell me the truth.

-What?

408

00:
32:21,740 -- 00:32:23,890

You really don't have anybody else in mind?

409

00:
32:24,300 -- 00:32:27,849

l'd tell you if l did. l wouldn't hide

something like that from you.

410

00:
32:27,980 -- 00:32:29,095

Okay.

411

00:
32:29,420 -- 00:32:31,570

l feel fine as l am for the time being.

412

00:
32:32,060 -- 00:32:33,891

Make sure to decline him.

413

00:
32:34,260 -- 00:32:36,012

Are you sure?

414

00:
32:36,500 -- 00:32:41,051

l'm sure.

Let's live together like a happy family.

415

00:
32:45,500 -- 00:32:46,728

The water's boiling.

416

00:
32:49,460 -- 00:32:54,329

But once l fall in love with someone,

l'll probably change my mind.

417

00:
33:46,140 -- 00:33:47,255

Let me see.

418

00:
33:51,300 -- 00:33:52,733

-Do it like this.

-Okay.

419

00:
34:00,740 -- 00:34:02,696

That's all for today.

420

00:
34:02,900 -- 00:34:07,098

lf you have any questions,

feel free to ask me anytime.

421

00:
34:31,300 -- 00:34:33,689

-ls your class over?

-Yes.

422

00:
34:34,060 -- 00:34:35,937

Do you have a minute?

423

00:
34:40,380 -- 00:34:43,929

Hi. Please have a seat.

424

00:
34:44,860 -- 00:34:47,693

-Have you told her?

-Not yet.

425

00:
34:47,820 -- 00:34:50,095

-Could you?

-You should do it yourself.

426

00:
34:50,220 -- 00:34:51,858

Okay, l'll talk to her.

427

00:
34:57,580 -- 00:34:58,933

Akiko,

428

00:
35:01,300 -- 00:35:02,938

what do you think of this man?

429

00:
35:04,460 -- 00:35:05,449

Who is he?

430

00:
35:05,580 -- 00:35:08,697

What do you think of him for your daughter?

431

00:
35:09,260 -- 00:35:11,979

But isn't his nose crooked?

432

00:
35:12,100 -- 00:35:15,058

That's just the photo. lt's the lighting.

433

00:
35:18,300 -- 00:35:20,575

-Sorry.

-ls there a problem?

434

00:
35:21,780 -- 00:35:23,498

Thank you very much,

435

00:
35:23,620 -- 00:35:26,692

but Ayako says

she doesn't want to get married yet.

436

00:
35:26,860 -- 00:35:29,249

-But...

-He's not suitable, anyway.

437

00:
35:29,380 -- 00:35:31,940

But he's from a good family.

438

00:
35:32,260 -- 00:35:35,730

The man is more important than the family.

l thought we discussed this last night.

439

00:
35:35,860 -- 00:35:36,895

lt's a real shame to pass him up.

440

00:
35:37,020 -- 00:35:40,171

lt's no shame at all.

He has no chance of succeeding.

441

00:
35:40,580 -- 00:35:42,650

That's not the point, really.

442

00:
35:43,460 -- 00:35:44,973

Just the other day,

443

00:
35:45,100 -- 00:35:48,695

Ayako declined a match

that Miwa's friend wanted to arrange.

444

00:
35:48,940 -- 00:35:51,659

-Why?

-She says she doesn't want to marry yet.

445

00:
35:52,100 -- 00:35:55,979

Really? Maybe you can't let her go, either.

446

00:
35:56,660 -- 00:35:57,979

No, that's not it.

447

00:
35:58,100 -- 00:35:59,613

But you need to give her away soon.

448

00:
35:59,740 -- 00:36:02,129

lf she waits, she may end up

with someone who's not right for her.

449

00:
36:02,260 -- 00:36:04,251

We can't all be as lucky as l was.

450

00:
36:09,980 -- 00:36:12,175

-Yes?

-There's a call for Mrs Miwa.

451

00:
36:12,300 -- 00:36:14,416

-A call? Switch it to this line.

-Yes.

452

00:
36:15,060 -- 00:36:16,857

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

453

00:
36:26,220 -- 00:36:29,929

Hello. ls this Ayako? Yes, it's me.

454

00:
36:31,460 -- 00:36:33,530

Yes, l can come.

455

00:
36:35,020 -- 00:36:37,409

What time? Okay, no problem.

456

00:
36:38,900 -- 00:36:40,652

Then l'll meet you at the corner of Wako.

457

00:
36:40,780 -- 00:36:44,614

l'll leave early

and stop by Uncle Mamiya's on the way.

458

00:
36:45,500 -- 00:36:47,570

Okay. Bye.

459

00:
36:57,740 -- 00:37:00,459

l heard lshii couldn't get the time off.

460

00:
37:01,180 -- 00:37:03,455

He'd bought the maps and everything.

461

00:
37:03,820 -- 00:37:07,335

-Why?

-His boss is nasty.

462

00:
37:08,460 -- 00:37:10,610

-So there'll only be seven of us?

-Right.

463

00:
37:11,060 -- 00:37:14,450

l want to go shopping for hiking boots.

Can you come with me after work?

464

00:
37:16,020 -- 00:37:18,329

Not today. l have an appointment.

465

00:
37:18,460 -- 00:37:22,055

A date, huh? What's going on with you?

466

00:
37:23,100 -- 00:37:24,772

No, with my mum.

467

00:
37:25,740 -- 00:37:28,174

How boring. Do something more exciting!

468

00:
37:45,980 -- 00:37:46,935

Come in.

469

00:
37:48,340 -- 00:37:49,534

Please go ahead.

470

00:
37:58,340 -- 00:38:00,217

Hello. Welcome.

471

00:
38:00,380 -- 00:38:03,895

Hi. l've brought you the pipe.

472

00:
38:04,180 -- 00:38:07,889

The pipe? Oh, yes. Thanks a lot.

473

00:
38:11,940 -- 00:38:13,009

Come in.

474

00:
38:15,900 -- 00:38:17,049

What is it?

475

00:
38:24,020 -- 00:38:25,055

Here.

476

00:
38:33,340 -- 00:38:38,095

Yes, this looks right.

Let me see the file you showed me earlier.
