Yasutake Chie
Chie.
It's another fine day out, isn't it?
Say... I wonder if Mama's lonely?
Huh?
Because you came here and are doing this, Hana...
...Mama won't be lonely.
Yasutake Chie
Wonder if this enough... tomatoes?
Then, tomatoes and eggplant; 400 yen.
Hana, pay him.
Here.
Yes.
Hana-chan, I've got some delicious corn here.
Really? Here, Papa, take this.
Ah... Wonder if these big ones are good?
Those are delicious, too.
Really?
Then, can I get two of them?
Yeah. Sure.
There we go.
Ah. How are these pumpkins?
The pumpkins are delicious, too!
Really? Then I'll take this big one.
Yes.
Ah! So heavy!
Is it that heavy?
It's heavy!
Hana laughs well.
Yume wa ima mo meguri te Even now I dream again
Hana sings well.
Papa, what do you think?
Huh?
Yum. That's good.
Let's see...
Yeah.
Hey! Tomato!
Hana eats well.
You mustn't!
Ta-dah...
Ah! You can't put tomatoes in the pickling mash!
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!
Then maybe I'll pickle Hana!
Kyaa! Stop! Ah... Stinks! Stinks!
Because this child inherited Chie's life...
...I was able to go on living.

Hana-chan's Miso Soup
Good morning.
I first met Chie thirteen years ago...
...at my newspaper company.
Ah. When I say "my"...
...I mean she came to the newspaper company where I work.
Excuse me...
Can I help you?
Ah, yes!
Um...
Ahhh!
Ah, sorry about that! Sorry!
I'm sorry about this.
Ferichita College of Music Vocal Music Circle 27th Regular Concert
She was a member of a Music College...
...and she wanted us to report on her vocal music circle.
Bel canto?
Yes.
What sort of person is that?
Eh?
Ah... Bel Canto isn't a person's name.
Ah... I was wrong, huh?
It's a way of singing.
The Bel Canto singing method is...
Hmm...

Like that.
This meeting was the start of...
...our dating one another.
By the way...
...if anything, she was the one who approached me...
...because she seemed to find my timid attitude to be adorable.
First would come laughing, right? Then singing.
Then after that, eating.
If I have those three, then I'm happy.
Yasu-san, how about you?
Eh?
Hmm...
Wonder if it wouldn't be eating my fill?
I'm terrible at singing and I don't laugh all that much, either.
Then, I'll make Yasu-san laugh.
My once normal days, where being serious was my only merit, changed.
Eh?!
For Christmas it was cosplay...
Merry Christmas!
Here.
Eh?
Valentine's Day.
Can I take it?
Yeah. Open it. Open it.
Whaa! That surprised me!
A jack-in-the-box for Valentine's day.
Hey! Look!
Sorry I kept you waiting
She's holding up a sign. How cute.
Sorry I kept you waiting
Yasu-san, Happy Birthday!
A placard for my birthday.
Congratulations.
I wonder how many times she made me laugh?
Yasu-san, Happy Birthday!
Touto Newspaper
Is such a thing even usable?!
Hurry and rewrite it.
I'm sorry.
A year and a half had passed since we started dating...
...and it was about the time when Chie had begun her long-desired work as a music teacher.
Oi, Yasu. Get your phone.
Ah, yes.
Sorry.
Hello?
Sorry for calling you during work.
No. What's up?
Well...
I went in to the hospital today...
I...
...have breast cancer.
Eh?
"Eh?" That was the sound I uttered...
...since I couldn't get any words to come out.
Yasutake Photo Studio
And what are you going to do?
About what?
"About what"? From here on, I mean.
I...
...was thinking I want to be with Chie forever.
Wait. Are you really sure about this?
Breast cancer is a REALLY serious disease.
Right, Dear?
If this is just some superficial feeling...
...it would be best for you two to just mutually part.
Well, there's nothing to worry about; you'll be fine. Just have the operation and you'll be cured.
Don't have such an anxious look. You'll be fine. Okay?
Want something to eat?
No.
Yasutake Shingo
Can you come out for a little while?
Yakiniku - a Japanese dish of fried meat
Yakiniku
So pretty!
This is the prettiest scenery that I know of.
Truth is, for this...
...some night scenery would probably be better though...
Eh... Matsunaga Chie-san.
Please...
...marry me.
Eh?
Since it was sudden, you'll have to make do with this...
I...
...want to laugh along with Chie-san for now and for forever.
I'm too serious and not very amusing...
But...
...during those times when you're feeling down...
...I'll do my best to make you laugh.
So please marry me.
What are you saying?
You don't have to force yourself.
No, I'm not forcing myself.
After all, I've got cancer, you know.
They'll have to cut off my breast.
I know.
And because of the drugs, I may not be able to have children.
I'm not particularly marrying you... because I want children.
Are you really okay with me?
It's not "are you okay with me"...
...it's "I am okay with you."
Thank you.
Twenty days after the diagnosis of cancer was made, Chie went in for surgery.
Yeah. At present, we were able to remove all her cancer.
Thank you very much.
However, cancer can have what looks like a gentle face and one that looks like a yakuza face.
In Chie-san's case, It's the later.
It has a high level of malignancy and there's a possibility it will reoccur.
From here on, we'll strike at it with stronger anti-cancer agents.
Please take care of her.
Excuse me.
Three IV feedings of anticancer drug treatments....
...over eight courses...
And then, if periodic medical examinations over the next five years...
...showed no numerical value change in the tumor markers, and if no abnormalities were seen during diagnostic imaging...
...then the Doctor explained that she would have overcome the cancer.
So long; see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Ah.
Is there something you want me to bring you?
Shingo-kun.
Yes?
Thank you.
You've given her hope to go on living.
Ah, no... I didn't do anything...
Shingo-san.
Yes?
Please take care of her.
Yes.
After that...
...Chie wouldn't show to me any behavior that she was in any pain...
But...
The side-effects of the anticancer agents...
...such as nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite...
...tormented Chie from all sorts of angles.
Ah...
Chie!
Chie?
Although she was forced to quit being a teacher as a result of her illness...
...over the next eight months, she wonderfully endured the anticancer treatments.
And then, we...
Yasu did his best, didn't he?
Thank you for coming from so far away.
Ah, that's right. Let me take a photo before all the fuss gets started.
How could he be working on a day like today?
It couldn't be helped. He had a sudden story to report on.
Not here yet?
Yeah.
What is it?
Sorry, sorry! Sorry...
You're late!
Sorry; the interview went long.
Geez...
A change of clothes...
Ah!
What's the matter?
I forgot the ring.
Eh?!
Geez!
Ow.
May with the Lord's blessing and with the oaths you have just exchanged before all of us today...
...I now pronounce you husband and wife. Amen.
For Chie's health...
...we rented a new home that was rich with nature.
Umm... this has a good feel to it.
Ehh... From here on...
...please look out for us.
Please look out... Oh!
That's the first time I've seen someone greet their home.
Eh? You haven't?
Yeah. I haven't.
You should do it.
Then I will.
Please watch over us.
She laughed even more after that.
Please watch over us.
Ah, it's cooked.
Here.
Mmm... wait!
Have another.
Stop for now.
Have lots of meat.
It's delicious with this added in, isn't it?
Ah... It's delicious.
Both eating...
Yume wa ima mo meguri te Even now I dream again
...and singing...
It felt like she was increasing in both.
Wasure gataki furusato Of my unforgettable hometown
Okay, next up is you, Shin-chan.
Eh?!
No way, no way, no way...
There's no freaking way I'm singing with people around.
Then I'll be the only one singing in public.
I ain't singing.
Hmm...
Everyone! My name is Yasutake Chie!
Hey, what are you doing?
Starting here, my husband, Yasutake Shingo...
...will be singing to you...
Stop, stop, stop...
Just wanted to let you know!
Alright, alright, alright already!
I'll only sing in front of you, Chie-chan.
You're on!
Man, that scared me.
Okay! Ready to go?
Wait, will this be okay...
And, go!
Usagi Chasing rabbits
That's too low!
The following year, when the hydrangeas began changing colors...
...I received a sudden coming out by Chie.
Say, Shin-chan.
Hmm?
I feel I'm happy.
What's this out of the blue about?
Somehow...
...I was thinking how nice it'd be to just go on living the way we are forever.
Yeah.
Just the two of us, forever.
Yeah.
It's okay with just the two of us, right?
It's fine.
Say, Chie-chan, has something happened?
Yeah...
Seems something's in my stomach.
What?
"What..."
A baby.
Eh?! Really?
Yeah.
A baby...
That's great, isn't it!
Yeah.
My stomach...
Ah, that's right.
Sorry, sorry.
The doctor...
The doctor told me this...
Yeah.
Once she becomes pregnant, because a woman's estrogen hormones...
...start appearing more vigorously...
...the possibility of the cancer reoccurring increases.
I have no choice but to give it up, right?
Eh?
Because I might die, won't I?
And the anti-cancer agents might affect the child.
I see...
That's true, isn't it?
Ever since hearing Chie's confession...
...I was in a state where I was unable to continue at my work.
Excuse me.
Um...
Would it be okay if I left a little early today?
Why?
Eh?
Ah, well...
Thank you.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I went to the gynecologist today.
They told me the time limit was this week for it.
I see...
I was thinking...
Give up on the baby.
The most important thing is your health.
Even if you gave birth to the baby...
...it wouldn't have any meaning if you're not healthy.
I'll be plenty happy if it's just you and me, Chie.
Do you really think that?
I do.
Then why?
Why, when I told you I should give it up the other day...
...did you get a surprised look on your face and say "Eh?" for?
That was...
Your look then is stuck in my head.
Shin-chan... you really want me to give birth, don't you?
No, at that time I was just...
You said you wanted the two of us to live together forever, didn't you?
And yet, why this?
Do you want me to give birth that much?
I might die, right?
My cancer might recur, right?
That's why I said it was okay.
What's "okay"?
That way of speaking.
I guess you're saying it that way because you DO want kids, aren't you?
That's terrible!
Those anti-cancer agents I took...
In medical books, they're written down as poisons, right?
If the cancer recurs, I might have to take those again!
Do you understand that?
And yet, to give birth? That's being too terrible!
You're putting words in my mouth. When did I tell you to give birth?
You didn't say it!
But I can tell!
Let's stop.
I'm sorry.
But I'm scared.
I can't help but be scared.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Yes?
Chie.
It's Mom.
Yeah. What is it?
Shingo-san came by earlier.
You told Mom?
How could you do that...
You're wrong.
He said he was sorry for reporting it after the fact.
He said he only came to report it after it was decided we would be troubled.
I'll support whatever decision the two of you come up with.
Even if it fills you with worries.
I'll understand, right?
Ah!
Look...
What is it?
I want you to give birth.
If you...
...have even the slightest feeling of wanting to give birth...
...then in that case, give birth.
It's your long-awaited gift of life.
After hanging up the phone, Chie told me she'd give birth.
She had decided to give birth, even if she died.
You can do it, Chie.
That's it, that's it...
Yasutake-san, just a little longer, okay?
Do your best a little longer. Yes!
That's it, that's it...
Go round for the blood test.
Yes.
Chie...
One week after her expected due date, on February 2nd, 2003...
...about five hours after she had entered the delivery room...
...Chie, at the risk of her life, gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
So cute!
Chie-chan, you really did your best, didn't you?
Thank you very much.
Have you come up with a name?
Yeah.
We'll call her "Hana."
"Hana."
Right. The hiragana for "flower," Hana.
Ehh...
You give flowers to the person you love, right?
As one who will be loved by everyone and who can heal a person's heart...
...she'll become a gentle woman.
"Hana," huh? That's a great name, isn't it?
Thus, in this way...
...Hana had come to us.
I and Chie and Hana...
When three of us were living together...
...the time when we had had troubles everyday seemed like a lie...
...and now our days were incredibly calm and contented ones.
Hana-chan. Hana-chan, smile.
Won't you smile when you see this?
It's still no good.
Yasutake Hana
Usagi oishi Kanoyama Chasing rabbits on Mt. Kano
Ever since Chie had given birth to Hana...
...I felt she was facing forward even more than she had been before.
And she came to sing again, just as she had in the past.
Meguri te I dream again
Wasure gataki furusato Of my unforgettable hometown
Just by being there...
...Hana had brought happiness to us.
Ah! It's cold! It's cold!
See! It's cold!
I felt this tiny life...
...had rescued us from the darkness.
Father says he wants to retake photos of us.
Chie-chan?
Hana's not drinking from my breast.
Eh?
Nine months had passed since Chie had become a mother.
I wonder why?
It's metastasized to the lungs.
Because this isn't a small thing at all...
...you should begin the anticancer treatments again.
Chie's cancer had recurred.
Ala. Welcome back.
Ah, hello there.
Why can't you understand?
I'm begging you, stop your crying!
Chie?
What are you doing?!
Like I said!
Wait...
Geez!
What are you doing?
Hana!
Oi, stop it!
When we switched to at-home treatments...
...changes began to appear in Chie.
Stop! Stop it, I said!
What are you doing?
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Somehow... Somehow I don't understand it myself all that well...
But emotions just burst out of me...
I'm sorry, Hana. I'm sorry.
I understand.
Chie. Chie!
I'm sorry, Hana. I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...
It's okay.
It'll be okay.
It's not your fault, Chie.
Because you're ill, right?
Let's get you cured.
From then on, whenever I could find even a little bit of time...
Excuse me! I'm going out for a bit.
Oi!
Excuse me.
...I would return home right away...
Excuse me.
Good afternoon.
Chie?
It's okay, it's okay.
Chie?
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Shin-chan...
Huh?
I've had enough...
I want to stop these painful anticancer agents already...
Don't say such things.
Hang in there.
As she became mentally unstable...
...she imperceptibly began to lose her smile.
And in proportion to that...
...my sleeping time decreased...
...until I had become exhausted.
Welcome back.
Ah.
He's come back.
Thanks again for today.
We just lulled Hana to sleep.
Chie-san was in bad condition due to those drugs and has been sleeping since this evening.
I see.
Ah, could I ask you to come over during the day tomorrow?
Tomorrow... Say, a reservation for some photos came in for tomorrow, didn't it?
Yeah.
Ah, I see.
Couldn't you ask Chie-san's mother to come?
Well, she's helped out quite a bit already all this week.
Ah... Then I guess I'll have to come home.
Already...
To be honest, I'm frazzled.
Between being anxious about leaving Chie alone...
...and thanks to work, too...
This is the path you yourself chose, isn't it?
Didn't you say you were resolved for this when you got married?
Is this what you call your resolve, Shingo?
As long as Chie-san and Hana are here that's your happiness, isn't it?
In that case, make sure you protect that happiness.
Ah, I'm sorry.
Excuse us, um...
Your next cuisine, please.
Prepare it.
Yes.
Chef, may I take this away?
Um...
Yes?
This might be unnecessary of me, though.
The other day, I went and covered a hidden, but well-known small restaurant.
The landlady there had gone through cancer before...
...but is in amazingly good health now.
She had cured her cancer with her own strength.
And so, if you'd like...
...I thought maybe you'd want to have a chat with her.
Here it is.
Yamaoka Toyono
Small Restaurant
Tsumugi
Thank you.
Ah, sorry about that. Thank you very much.
Ah.
Ah!
My kidneys?
Yeah.
The results of your blood and urinalysis tests...
...are not good.
But, you can cure it right away, right?
I'll give you this medication for the time being.
But if you go on neglecting your own life, it won't get cured.
Sensei, please examine the patient in the waiting room.
Yes, yes.
If you would, please.
The biggest problem comes from your irregular life and diet.
What was I doing?
Even though I should be supporting Chie...
Ah... Ow...
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for yours.
Ah, I'm sorry.
Here's the proposal I made.
The plan is called, "A Letter to Great People."
To celebrities in various fields...
...and those great people who are now dead but who nevertheless had an influence on them...
...my plan is to have people write in a letter of thanks to them.
It's off-beat...
...but by following my plan...
Say!
Huh?
What's this?
That's...
Why didn't you tell me about this?
I didn't want to worry you even more.
Think things through better!
If there's a problem with just me or just you, we can deal with it.
But if both of us are like this, I'll feel sorry for Hana!
Sorry...
Look...
There's somewhere I want the both of us to go to.
Eh?
Tsumugi
Good afternoon.
Are you really okay with me?
Yes. Please give us your opinion as someone who overcame cancer.
Sorry if we're being unreasonable.
No, that's fine.
But, cancer differs by the person.
I don't know if this will cure you.
Even so, please tell us.
Then, this was my situation.
Yes.
First off, this was a doctor's second-hand opinion.
To begin with, within people's bodies...
...there appears to be a power that can cure diseases.
It expels the bad things from your body...
...and seems to be a power where you can cure yourself.
Yes...
In other words...
"Being healthy" seems to be a state where that power is at work.
So as long as you stay healthy, you won't get sick.
It's a thing like where how you live is the cause of illness.
In my case, my natural healing powers became stronger...
...through diet therapy.
Diet therapy...
Yeah.
Back then, the anticancer treatments were very, very painful...
...so I resolutely put a stop to those anticancer treatments.
Ehh... That's incredible.
Because my appetite was gone, I couldn't eat...
...so my body grew weaker.
At the rate things were going, I thought I would die.
And then, in my own way...
...I thought I would stick to my own diet.
If I ate things that were good for my health...
...I figured my body would naturally get better.
Though your hands are cold, what's your normal temperature?
It's always at 35 degrees. (95 Fahrenheit)
That's no good.
Cancer is sensitive to heat.
First off, with the intention of raising your immunity...
...you should be above 36.5 degrees. (97.7 Fahrenheit)
Ah...
Um... what should we do, specifically?
Why don't you start off by making a good, solid breakfast?
And improving your life.
And then for meals, a miso soup and brown rice are central to Japanese foods.
Brown rice?
Just eating your favorite things whenever you want them...
...won't make you healthy, now will it?
Ah...
This may be obvious, but choosing good ingredients...
...and eating at proper times is best for your health.
That's all.
Shouldn't you do that along with her?
Eh?
You seem to have something wrong somewhere, too.
She caught you.
From then on, Chie's bedtime was 10pm...
...and she would try to get up at 6am.
Ah, watch out.
How about it? How about it?
Is this the shaved bonito?
Oh!
I was able to do it.
It's pretty.
Ah, it's delicious.
It's good.
Ah! Ow! Ow!
Are you okay? Cut yourself?
Yeah.
Ah, the nabe, the nabe!
Ah!
Hot! Hot, hot...
Turn it down.
Itadakimasu.
That miso soup, using a stock soup of kelp and bonito shavings...
...and with things like burdock, carrots and taro...
...those root crops which act to warm the body...
...we made sure to put in plenty of those.
The main dish was salted sardines.
The side dishes were natto and pickled vegetables.
Fermented foods establish themselves in the intestines...
...and so help to improve bowel movements.
To be honest, I think that was our first time at thinking about such foods and making these dishes.
Any good?
Yeah.
After keeping at that diet for six months...
...we went in for an examination.
Look.
It appears to have gotten smaller.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, your complexion is good, so I wonder if hormone therapy wouldn't be effective?
To speak in slightly technical terms...
With a once a month injection...
...it will suppress the estrogen coming from your ovaries, but...
Something seemed to have changed in Chie's body.
When she had continued the diet therapy and hormone therapy for two years...
...the numerical values for her tumor stabilized...
...and the cancer cells had disappeared from Chie's body.
Whaa... that's good, that's good!
If there were no changes in her numerical values in the next five years...
...we could say that Chie's cancer would have been cured.
I've been praying every day...
...that that day will come as soon as possible.
Fa Fa Mi Re Do...
Whaa! That was good!
Awesome!
That was awesome, wasn't it?
Hey! Did I ever teach you it was okay to leave food behind?
Eat your brown rice, too!
Because it's no good if you only eat the others!
Got that?!
What is it? What's going on?
Hana said, "I don't want brown rice"...
...and then she deliberately turned her tea bowl over.
Crying's useless! Because you're the one at fault, Hana!
Say, you don't need to be so strict about it.
Wait, Chie-chan!
What? "Strict"?
Because she's still little.
So what about it? Is the food of poor quality?
Are you saying just to leave it be?
I'm not saying that.
Thing is, it's because you baby her, Shin-chan, that Hana acts this way.
Why is this my fault?
If you're thinking seriously about Hana's future...
...then you know it's wrong just being kind to her!
I am thinking about that properly.
You're not thinking about it!
I am!
You're not!
Sorry about earlier.
I shouldn't have yelled at you.
No. I'm sorry, too.
But...
...don't be so strict about everything...
Okay? Because she's still a child...
...so taking our time is...
That's useless.
Truth is, "discipline"...
...is what I should be teaching our daughter before she goes off to be a bride.
Because I...
...don't know what might happen to me.
Don't worry.
Because the cancer has disappeared.
I still have to wait five years for that.
If, at that time...
...she doesn't have a mother around...
...I don't want her thinking she can't do anything.
I don't want her to be troubled if I'm not there.
I want to teach her as much as I can right now.
For example, "fear"...
She avoids that.
Hana...
Sorry about yesterday.
Look...
Meat and fish and all the things we eat...
...die and become sacrifices in order to give us nourishment.
That's why we must eat up all that nourishment properly.
We say "itadakimasu," don't we? (an expression of gratitude before meals)
That's the meaning of it.
Hana, as you go on living now...
...this is something you must know.
It might be tough...
...but will you listen when Mama tells you, "do your best"?
But it doesn't taste good.
Yeah.
Brown rice has a strong power of life to it.
White rice would rot if you put it into soil...
...but a bud would come out of brown rice.
That's why, so Mama can become stronger, she eats brown rice...
...and why she wants Hana to eat it, too.
Then... it's okay for you not to eat brown rice.
I'll wait until the time comes when you think you'll want to eat it.
But, you have to make sure and eat your miso soup.
Yeah.
Where's your "itadakimasu"?
Yes.
Itadakimasu.
And then, one week after that.
Why? Why so suddenly?
He's been hospitalized with pneumonia for three days.
And then today it became...
We put antibiotics into his IV, but we haven't seen it have much effect.
As he regularly took steroid and immunosuppressive drugs for his collagenosis...(a skin disorder)
...I think that's affecting things.
"Collagenosis"?
Truth is, your Father...
But he told me not to tell you guys about it.
"Because I'll definitely be cured of it, I don't want to worry them," he said.
Dear! Dear!
Wake up! Dear!
Dear!
When I was pregnant with you, Hana...
...I was afraid of dying from cancer...
...so I hesitated whether to give birth to you, Hana.
But Grandpa told me this.
"If you feel you're going to die, give birth to Hana."
Come here.
Since cancer is incredibly strong...
...I didn't believe I would survive it...
...but I didn't want to let it win.
So when Grandpa told me that, I realized it.
That either way, I was going to live.
"So in that case, if I feel I'm going to die, then I should have this child."
If Grandpa wasn't there, I wouldn't have been born?
That's right.
To begin with, if Grandpa hadn't been there...
...then I wouldn't have been born, either, right?
So in that way, our lives are connected...
...and so you are alive.
Yeah.
Hana... breakfast is ready.
Yes!
Can you sit?
Yeah.
Here.
Yes. Thank you.
Yes, here we go...
Itadakimasu!
It's no good unless you pat them down properly.
Here, pat, pat.
Nice and firmly.
Chie was teaching her the means to live, little by little each day...
...while Hana obediently accepted them.
Okay.
Yes, Hana you try it, too.
Make sure you properly align the heels.
Did it.
Yes, the pattern is for both sleeves.
Halves is the pattern.
Yeah. Now try it one more time.
The pattern is for both sleeves.
Halves is the pattern.
Put more strength into it... squeak, squeak, squeak...
Is that good?
Okay, let's drain it.
Ah!
Hana-chan, let's go!
Hana-chan!
Yeah!
Just a minute!
Here you go, Hana.
Ala?
Shin-chan!
Huh?
Shin-chan, Shin-chan...
Happy Birthday, Hana-chan!
Okay, go ahead.
You can do it!
Hana-chan Happy 5th Birthday
Ah! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
How old are you now?
Five!
Yes, congratulations! Yeah, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
And now, this is from your Grandma Matsunaga.
Make lots of drawings.
Wow! There's so many of them!
There's lots, aren't there?
And, this is a present from Mama and Papa.
It's cute!
Congratulations.
One more time.
Put more strength into it.
Yeah!
That's it, more...
Just a little more there...
Ow!
Since you can eat all of a vegetable...
...it's okay if you don't take the skin off them...
...but you should wash the roots cleanly.
Eat it without wasting anything.
To put it this way, it's "eat the whole thing."
"Eat the whole thing."
Eat the whole thing. Eat the whole thing.
Do your best.
Eat the whole thing.
Yes, that'll do it for today.
Yes, that's all for today.
Papa was worried there, wasn't he?
This is a flower she drew in nursery school.
Hmm...
She says it's the three of us.
Ehh.. And these are buds?
Yeah. I think they probably are.
Doesn't it give you the feeling that all of us have the power of life?
Huh? Huh?
Mama! The bath has heated up!
Yes, yes! I'm coming right away!
Hana-chan, don't you want a brother...?
About four years had passed since the date that Chie's cancer cells had disappeared...
It's a cat.
It's a bear.
A bear? Hmm...
I've got it. This one's a rabbit.
It's a capybara!
A capybara?
Sorry, sorry. Hana, don't get angry.
Sorry. I've come to see it as a capybara somehow.
Say your "good morning," like always...
Hey, Shin-chan!
Huh?
Hana, come look!
What is it?
Eye-man has come to call!
What is that?
It's that there... Look, look, look!
Eye-man, Number 1!!
You're right.
It's this.
I'll do it, too. I'll be good at it.
Hana, you too?
Then Hana, let's go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Let's go, Hana!
OK!
Yo! Eye-man Number 1 has come to call!
No, no, there can't be two Number 1s.
Hana, you be Number 2. Let's try it again.
Here goes.
Yo! Eye-man Number 1 has come to call!
Yo! Eye-man Number 2 has come to call!
I can't see your face anymore, Hana.
Do a Shakin.
Eye-man Beam!
Ahhh!
Now that the hearts of those sumo wrestlers who were running a fixed game have been cleared...
...it's time for today's weather across the nation!
Today's Weather
Will you make it to school on time?
We should be fine if we pick up the pace.
I see.
Hana... Mama did something funny earlier, didn't she?
Remember? That Eye-man guy.
What's the matter?
Mama hasn't been hugging me recently.
I see.
Maybe Hana's getting to big for that.
It's not that.
It's like there's this pain in her face when she does hug me.
It might be she hurts somewhere.
It's regrettable...
...but the cancer has spread to your entire body.
The only remedy, anticancer agents, are now...
No...
She was cured once, right? So why all of a sudden...
To be honest, I'm not all that sure myself.
But hormone treatments alone aren't going to control it.
Chie-san, at this rate, in half a year...
...there's a possibility your liver won't function any longer.
I think all we can do now is the anticancer treatments.
Has it been hurting all this time?
Yeah.
Say, how long have you been enduring it?
Since about a month ago.
Why didn't you say something?
If Hana hadn't told me, then...
The one calmest about it...
...might be Hana.
Thus the anticancer therapy started up again.
But this time around, Chie didn't make any complaints at all.
Mama!
I could feel the strength in her figure...
...as she calmly accepted the treatments.
Welcome back.
I'm back.
She was undergoing treatments at home and a few days had passed...
"Early to bed, early to rise brown rice life."
Early to bed, early to rise brown rice life Cancer and Daughter and, Sometimes, the Husband
"Cancer and daughter and, sometimes, the husband."
What is this? Your blog?
Yeah. Wanna see it?
Hmm... Not really.
You're terrible. Then, go away.
Mama.
Huh?
Do my hair.
Yeah. Then come over here.
Yeah.
Here.
Okay.
Let's make two ponytails.
Yeah.
I'm sure Chie...
...just felt she wanted to spit out all the pains that had piled up inside her.
But...
...that was why...
...I just couldn't bring myself to look at her blog.
You're loved, Yasutake, you player.
Eh? What do you mean?
Oi, oi, don't you know anything?
Wait... got a minute?
Let's see...
Early to bed, early to rise brown rice life...
Early to bed, early to rise brown rice life Cancer and Daughter and, Sometimes, the Husband
I dare you to read this.
That hurt a little...
Thanks to his big heart...
Thanks to his big heart, my husband was able to accept me and my illness.
...my husband was able to accept me and my illness.
I'm really glad I married my husband.
Seeing her mother growing uglier by the day...
...I wonder what sorts of feelings are going through my daughter's small heart?
Eh? You're gonna sing?
Tanabata - "Star Festival" held on July 7th
Holding a Tanabata Live Concert!!
No way!
There's no way I could do that.
I wonder if I should have been a much more normal mother?
Ahh... Becoming ill brings these feelings of weakness.
No, no. I must have a strong heart.
Won't cure this illness otherwise.
I'm home...
Ah, welcome home.
She fell asleep.
Huh?
Chie.
Huh?
Here.
Eh?
What is it?
Huh?
Won't you sing at the Tanabata live concert?
But...
I...
...really love the sight of Chie singing.
So you should let Hana see that, too.
Then... let's go on stage together.
Eh?!
Shh...
And with Hana, too.
If Shin-chan won't come, then I won't come, either.
Eh...

You went out of your way to record it?
Because you're totally no good.
It won't be that simple making me sing better.
It'll work out if you listen to this and work on it.
Yes...
You can gain confidence by singing in the bath.
Really?
Yeah.
Say "ah."
Ah.
See, it echos, right?
Yeah.
Ikani imasu chichihaha Where Father and Mother

Mama.
Huh?
Try drinking a little of this.
Taste it.
Well?
Umm, it's good.
Then I'll put some in the bowl.
Yeah.
Be careful.
Yeah.
You turned off the fire?
Yeah.
Two days before the Tanabata live concert...
...Chie was urgently hospitalized.
The reason her abdomen is distended...
...is because her liver has swollen.
90 percent of her liver...
...is currently cancerous.
There's a possibility she'll start showing disturbances in her consciousness from here on.
She'll no longer remember places or people's name...
...and she'll say the same things over and over.
Um...
What should we do...?
That's...
Please think about Chie-san's life.
Won't you have her spend it at home from here on?
With the little time she has remaining...
...and so that you won't have any regrets...
What's that "little time she has remaining"?
Say...
Sensei, you're a doctor, right?
Then please save Chie.
I'm very sorry.
For being a doctor, yet unable to do any more for her...
Please!
Please don't give up on her.
Please use my liver. If you do, you can save Chie, right?
Please!
Please save her.
What is it?
Look.
Because your abdominal dropsy isn't enough to be extracted...
...it seems you'll be able to go home tomorrow.
Yeah.
Thank goodness...
I get to see Hana.
Mama, welcome home!
Yeah.
Ah... it's clean and tidy, isn't it?
I did the laundry, too.
Huh?
You're great, Hana.
Then...
Here. I'll give you this.
Huh?
Whaa!
It's cute!
Recently... my hands have been numb.
Hana, can you do your hair yourself?
Yeah.
I can do it.
Hana... is very happy...
...about you coming home, isn't she Chie?
I wonder if she realizes she'll be singing tomorrow?
She doesn't seem nervous about it at all.
As for me, I can't seem to sleep.
Don't worry. You'll make it through somehow.
Yeah. I hope we do...
Huh?
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Everyone here's good, aren't they, Papa?
Hey, don't put any pressure on me.
Amazing grace
I guess I do want all of us to sing together.
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Hallelujah！
Good luck. Because they're looking here.
Look... Come up on stage with us. You don't even have to sing.
Huh?
He's already nervous.
Hopeless, isn't he?
Next up is Yasutake Shingo-san, Chie-san and Hana-chan...
...singing "Hometown."

Yume wa ima mo Even now

Wasure gataki furusato Of my unforgettable hometown
Shin-chan. Shin-chan, this is...
I had a tape mixed with the three of us together.
Because it wouldn't mean anything unless it was the three of us singing together.
Chichihaha Father and Mother
Tsutsunaishi ya tomo ga ki And friends are all in good health

Well? Have you written them?
Yeah. We've written tons.
I was only able to write one.
I see.
Papa, write some, too.
Yeah.
What color do you want?
Okay... I'll take yellow.
This yellow?
Yeah. Thanks.
I pray Mama gets better. Hana
Sorry for taking so long to eat.
It doesn't look that way.
Yeah.
I'll go give the flowers some water.
Yeah.
A child's growth is amazing, isn't it?
They grow rapidly; like morning glorys do.
Ah...
Ah!
Chie.
Are you okay? You weren't hurt?
I'm sorry.
It's not usable anymore, is it?
Can you throw it away?
The bowl that Chie had been using since forever...
I just wasn't able to throw that away.
If I did throw it away...
...it would feel like I was losing Chie...
That's good, that's good.
Papa, it's Mama!
That's good, that's good.
Chie?
Chie!
That's good, that's good.
Mama?
Chie?
Chie.
Yasutake-san.
Strong medications will be required in order to stop her convulsions.
However, there's a possibility they could cause a respiratory arrest.
What do you want to do?
Hana.
Papa.
Mama'll get better, right?
It might be hopeless.
I'm going to Mama.
Wouldn't it... be best to set her free now?
For both Chie and for you too, Shingo-san.
When I found out about Chie's cancer...
...I complained to God, "Why Chie and not me?"
"Why bring such unhappiness to her?"
But, there wasn't anything unhappy about Chie, was there?
She had Shingo-san...
...and she had Hana...
Chie was a very happy girl...
I sincerely believe that now.
Thank you.
This is enough...
This... is enough already.
Chie, because they're putting the medicine in you....
...you'll feel better right away.
Chie... you really did your best.
I feel so proud of you.
You really have done your best.
You really have...
It hurt, didn't it?
It was painful, wasn't it?
But it'll be all right now.
You'll be able to talk right away.
Hana-chan, let her hear your voice.
Yeah.
Go on.
Chie?
Chie.
Eye-man Number 2 has come to call!
Take a look, Chie. It's Eye-man.
But only Number 2...
Number 1 needs to appear, too... Chie.
Chie?
You're joking, right?
Chie.
Chie!
Chie...
Chie!
Yasutake-san.
Chie.
Chie...
After that...
...my body and soul came to a complete stop.
Thanks for the meal.
I'm taking a bath.
Yeah.
Papa!
Hana? What's going on?
Ala?
Ah... you've come out of it.
You've had it tough, haven't you?
You have cholecystitis. (inflammation of the gallbladder)
Your daughter has been staying at your side all this time.
Papa, you fell and wouldn't answer me...
...so I called a friend...
...and asked her mother to send us an ambulance.
Hana, you saved me, huh?
If Papa dies, then what will happen to me?!
I don't want that! I don't want to be left all alone!
I'm sorry.
What made me recover myself...
...was Hana.
Morning, Papa.
Good morning.
Okay...
Itadakimasu.
It's delicious.
It tastes the same as Chie's.
Thank you.
Not at all.
Brown rice, brown rice.
Itadakimasu.
Okay, let's head to the meeting.
Yes!
Oi, Yasu!
Yes?
Ah, I'll come right away.
You're getting a good reputation.
Eh?
Your current article... um... who was it to?
This young musician's letter to John Lennon.
It's interesting.
"To John in Heaven"
Kinoshita Kenta - John Lennon
Really?
Yasu.
Yes.
You had it really tough with your wife, didn't you?
We'll be counting on you from here on, too.
Mama, I'm home.
"To John in Heaven"
Article by - Yasutake Shingo

Letters to Great People
Papa.
Huh?
Can't sleep?
Not that.
Um...
Papa, you pass along letters to people who are dead, right?
Eh?
Your job is to deliver letters to people who have died, right?
Ah...
Something like that.
This one too, please.
All right.
Good night.
To Mama
Dear Mama.
I have something to tell you.
And that's that I can make everything in the lunches.
You're surprised, aren't you?
There was something I wanted you to teach me more about, Mama...
...and that was the piano.
You were strict, but it was easy to understand when you taught me, Mama.
But because you were strict, I became better, didn't I?
Thanks to Mama, music is my best subject...
...when I study at school.
When I grow up...
...I want to be a singer, just like you were, Mama.
Cheer for me.
I will have to skip cleaning the bath and doing the laundry a little...
...when the new school term starts, but I'll do my best.
Because you promised to, watch over me from Heaven, right?
Hana.
Yasutake Chie
Chie.
It's another fine day out, isn't it?
Say... I wonder if Mama's lonely?
Huh?
Because you came here and are doing this, Hana...
...Mama won't be lonely.
Yasutake Chie
Okay.
Let's go home.
Papa, you have work, don't you?
Wrong. I have the day off today.
You do?
Yeah. And so...
I'll take you to your favorite places today.
Really?
Yeah.
Hana.
What?
Why have we come here?
Because it's a place Mama wanted to go to.
Eh?
I found these letters Mama had written when I was looking for some writing paper.
This is Mama's handwriting, isn't it?
"I want me and Hana and Papa..."
"...to go to the sunflower field."
"I want me and Hana and Papa..."
"...to go on trips."
"I want to see Hana's graduation ceremony."
"I want to see Hana's Coming-of-Age Ceremony."
Mama... wasn't able to do even one of those!
I feel so sorry for her!
I feel so sorry for Mama!
Hana! Hold on!
Hana! Hana...
Hana, listen to me.
Listen to what I tell you.
You mustn't... feel sorry for Mama.
Because where Hana goes... Mama goes, too.
Do you remember... all the things Mama taught you?
That means inside of Hana...
...Mama is there, too.
She's inside of me, too.
So...
...from here on, too...
...the three of us will go on being a family together.
