Come on!

Hurry UP!

Hurry!

This is Noro.

Blow that trumpet like a man, Noro.

Sorry.

Noro.

Come here after practice.

Eh..,?

What's that?

I'm going out

with my family for sushi.

Don't be silly.

Run, don't walk!

I'll be watching.

But...

Coach !

Yes, Shimizu?

The salt air will rust the instruments!

They'll rust!

Dismissed!

How's this prepared?

- Let's

- I think you boil it.

- Boil it?

- Right.

And then you drink the extract everyday.

They say it works.

Right.

Here.

What's that?

How about this?

He's so young!

Looks good.

May 1?

Have to be this kind of hospital.

I found him.

Thank you.

Osamu and the doctor here were classmates.

That's reassuring.

Dr. Takehara.

Right.

You should see a good doctor.

My old pa.

I brought this too.

Eikichi!

It will make you better.

Eikichi?

Got to pee.

I'll tag along.

To the toilet.

- I'll take you.

- I'm OK!

- They come for you.

- I can go alone.

- He can walk...

- He seems OK.

He was on the IV drip.

That helped.

- Good.

- He looks OK.

Damn.

I can't inhale.

How many kids

were in your school band?

About twenty...

Right.

Still do Yazawa's tune?

For me...

That's the only pleasure I have.

When I was in junior high

I used to think all school bands played Yazawa.

Son.

Go back to Tokyo.

Don't waste time with me here.

Get a job.

I know.

Yuka's working?

She quit.

Oh.

What did she do?

The nail...

Nail art.

You OK?

Are you OK?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You moron!

He's driving!

He hadn't smoked for 2 years!

Mom!

What's funny?

Sorry.

Tell me, Noro.

Do you like playing in the band?

Not so much?

Why do it then?

Dad told me to...

Oh.

That's a drag.

Noro.

Yes?

Come any time

if you want.

- Can't you sleep?

- Not with his snoring!

- His dads the same.

- Yeah?

Are you cold?

Your nails are cute.

Cute.

Yuka.

Yes?

You sure about our son?

I guess so!

You know.

I'm not so smart so we're a good match!

Where did you meet?

At Tengu.

A pub.

Oh, right!

My friend was helping out at his gig

and we went to a party afterwards

and hit it off.

Is that right?

How about you?

We got together because...

we lived close.

We lived close. That's all.

Amazing!

Why?

Can I?

No, you're expecting .

Just a sip!

You're pregnant.

Being pregnant is so hard!

Yuka.

Yes.

Go back to Tokyo.

You have to go to checkups.

I'd want to go home if I were you.

You're so kind.

You're so kind to me!

That's enough. Finish this.

You're so kind.

Thank you.

Are you sure?

Well then.

Sorry.

Ouch!

Osamu.

I was thinking...

I want to refer you to another doctor.

Well?

I remember

Dad with IVs...

I don't want that.

I don't want pain.

No.

You

I don't want any pain.

Okay.

I want you to be my doctor.

And

I want to go home.

I hear you.

I hear you.

Who is he?

I don't know.

He's cute!

So cute.

Why's he here?

Hey, straighten up!

There he is.

What are you doing?

Go inside!

I'm instructing a pupil!

What's he doing?

Let me go!

- I'm instructing my pupil!

- Not now!

He's like a kid!

Satsuma mandarin

Want one?

No, thank you.

I have to go...

But you just came.

But we're going out for sushi.

Not sushi again!

- Bye.

- He escaped.

Come back here!

Hey!

I'm sorry!

- I'll give you a ride.

- Sorry!

Don't run!

You made me fall!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- I'll drive you.

- I lied about the sushi!

So...

The coach has cancer?

That's right.

Will he...die?

Noro.

I've come to realize...

Parents die.

I knew that.

But now ifs a reality.

I can't talk to him.

What do you want to say?

He's probably just happy having you here.

He's been looking kind of lonely.

Um...

I was thinking...

What's up?

That band's cool.

Noro.

Yes?

You have good taste.

I'll be back.

Get a job!

Mother!

Put the oil on your nails every day!

They're Hiroshima Carp!

He was hit by a pitch!

The catcher was sitting

very close to the batter.

Maybe too close.

The pitcher throws fast balls.

He didn't need to be so close to the batter.

- Too aggressive.

- Right.

1 out, with bases full.

Kikuchfs at bat.

It could turn the game around.

Here's Kikuchi.

He's struggling

with a ".223" batting average.

A small hit

and the team will win.

Bottom of 10th, 1 out, bases full.

First pitch!

Hi, Mom.

Oh, my God!

What are you doing here?

We'll stick around.

I have a souvenir for you.

There were deer everywhere.

- I'm beat.

- Oh...

I'm hungry-

Why don't you ever call?

Hungry, Yuka?

Second pitch.

Straight in the middle!

Oh my God! Kikuchi had a walk-off hit!

Yes, yes!

Mom!

Yes, yes!

Get off me.

That hurts!

You're happy?

Yuka, help me out.

- She's cute!

- You're that happy?

Oh, Mom!

Hiroshima Carp win!

"Midwife

So...

You're not a local?

Right.

Where are you from?

Tokyo.

You'll have the baby here?

No, no.

I just want checkups.

Checkups...?

Yes.

Checkups.

Like ultrasound.

"Hi, Reapers, how's it going?

Everyone calls me Junior here!

"I'll stick around to look after Dad

"so please wait.

"Doing something nice

"might inspire me to write a song."

What's he writing? Maybe 'Tyrannosaurus?

He saw us!

I know now what's important"

for the bands future."

We need to...

"be healthy."

Keep the party alive, Ha, ha!

Rock 'n' roll tonight, Ha, ha!

A feeling comes, A feeling comes over me

I know you can feel it, Ha, ha!

No one plays this well, Ha, ha!

A feeling comes, A feeling comes over me

I'm feeling the night,

A feeling comes over...

Keep the party alive, Ha, ha!

Rub him like this but don't use pressure.

Old people have papery skin

so be gentle.

A massage will help him relax.

Sick people get anxious easily.

Write a wish list.

What?

Anything is OK.

I need time to think about it.

Like food.

What do I want to eat...?

Things to do while you can...

People you want to see?

There are many.

Write them down.

Meet them and...?

Say your last farewells.

I'll slap you silly!

Ask me anything.

OK, get a haircut.

No, never.

What then?

There must be something.

People don't have wishes.

If I were you...I know.

I'd manage the Carps...

for a year.

Really...

I'd ride a dolphin.

I'd fall in love.

Yeah, right.

Romance!

- How old are you?

- I'm 50.

I want romance!

How can he meet Yazawa?

At a live gig.

No. I want him to...

come and see me.

I want to meet Yazawa"

Everything tastes good with ready-made stock.

It's the best!

- Pour it.

- Roger.

OK, let's eat.

It's yummy.

Yuka.

Time to try something deep fried.

Me?

Of course.

Good morning.

- Hi. Off for a walk?

- Right.

Where are you going?

Hey, Dad!

Good morning!

Stop.

Hello!

Hi!

Use the cane.

No!

'The Tamura Family Grave"

OK.

Let's head back.

I want to eat pizza.

What?

Pizza?

He ate pizza on his 60th birthday

and he wore red!

Why pizza?

Is it coz pizza's red?

Is pizza red...?

He's silly.

He said it had sausages on it.

Does he want the same kind?

Exactly the same.

I forgot what we ate!

Where did you buy it?

Was it from Yasukawa town?
