00:00:00In 1928, Mr. Komari was born in a small town in Tokyo.
00:00:29He was influenced by his father, who made airplane parts in a town shop.
00:00:37He grew up in a wooden airplane in the shape of a rain shower.
00:00:42His mother gave birth to the Wright brothers.
00:00:47At the age of five, he won a grand prize in a paper airplane competition in the town.
00:00:59After overcoming many difficulties, Mr. Matsumoto Kikuko was the first Japanese female pilot to fly overseas.
00:01:08I'm a woman, but I'm a pilot.
00:01:12There are people who have become pilots. I want to be a pilot, too.
00:01:16His longing for the sky grew stronger and stronger.
00:01:20When he entered high school, he declared that he would become a pilot in the future.
00:01:27Well, I'm going.
00:01:30He joined the Imperial Navy and became a pilot.
00:01:35He died in the Kamikaze Special Forces.
00:01:38His parents, who loved airplanes, died in an air raid on a U.S. military aircraft.
00:02:09Mr. Komari, who became a lonely man in the sky, was taken by his aunt, who was in charge of the royal court.
00:02:24Don't rest there. Hurry up and clean up.
00:02:28Yes.
00:02:29Under the guidance of his aunt, who lost her family in the war, he worked day and night.
00:02:42Then the U.S. military aircraft dropped a bomb and ended the war.
00:02:47Japan lost the war and the sky was taken by GHQ.
00:03:01Tokyo Airport became a Haneda Army Air Base.
00:03:05Japan was prohibited from flying, operating, designing, manufacturing, and researching.
00:03:18All airplanes owned by Japan were destroyed.
00:03:21Mr. Komari managed to get out of high school, but after the war, he worked all day and couldn't go anywhere.
00:03:52Japan's Air Force was at war with the United States.
00:03:56The United States had the most military power in the world.
00:04:01The U.S. had the most military power in the world, so it became a powerful country.
00:04:11The U.S. had the most military power in the world, so it became a powerful country.
00:04:16Oh
00:04:46My
00:05:16That's right.
00:05:21Huh?
00:05:23I made a mistake.
00:05:25Welcome to the Japanese restaurant, Shinbashi.
00:05:32Welcome to the Japanese restaurant, Shinbashi.
00:05:39Welcome to the Japanese restaurant, Shinbashi.
00:05:44This is zenzai.
00:05:46A Japanese sweet dessert.
00:05:59Delicious.
00:06:01Thank you very much.
00:06:13If we don't start the aviation business with our own hands, Japan's skies will forever be occupied by foreign countries.
00:06:20I agree with you, Mr. Matsuki.
00:06:23That's why I invited the President of the Japanese Embassy, Fujiwara.
00:06:29Well, if it's an aviation business, it's hard to raise funds, but how can we get the Prime Minister involved?
00:06:36Anyway, it's Shirasu Jiro's doing.
00:06:40He's trying to set up an organization called J-DAC, which runs the aviation business in Japan under the name of an overseas airline.
00:06:50Are you trying to sell Japan's skies overseas?
00:06:54Shirasu-kun is connected to the overseas market.
00:06:57His relationship with the Western countries is also really bad.
00:07:00If everything goes according to Shirasu-san's plan, what will happen to Japan's aviation business?
00:07:11What are you doing?
00:07:21Why were you stealing?
00:07:23I'm sorry. I overheard you talking about airplanes, so I just...
00:07:30I like it. I've always admired it since I was a kid. I've always wanted to be a pilot.
00:07:38Who are you?
00:07:40I'm a member of this organization.
00:07:43Then please change your position. I don't want you to come near that room.
00:07:48I'm sorry.
00:07:49I'm sorry.
00:07:59In order to respond to the movement of the Korean Peninsula,
00:08:04Prime Minister Yoshida Shigeru appointed Matsuki Shijo as the first director of the Ministry of Air Defense.
00:08:14Matsuki Shijo started designing the Itami Airport.
00:08:18He was the person who had the strongest desire for the skies in Japan.
00:08:25He talked about his desire to regain Japan's skies.
00:08:29Matsuki-san's existence seems to have lit the hope in Komari-san's heart.
00:08:37J-DAC was officially established by the joint venture of seven overseas airlines.
00:08:44It has become a means to start domestic flights.
00:08:50Excuse me.
00:08:52This is Yanagisawa of the Japanese military.
00:08:55That's an old title.
00:08:58I'm currently on a leave of absence.
00:09:00I'm sorry to bother you today.
00:09:03I'm sure you've heard about J-DAC.
00:09:05At this rate, Japan's skies will be completely taken away.
00:09:09However, they are also a joint venture of seven overseas airlines.
00:09:12It seems that they are having a hard time adjusting their interests.
00:09:16If possible, now is the time.
00:09:18Then, can I ask for your cooperation?
00:09:21I will follow Matsuki-kun's request.
00:09:24Why don't we go around the press and raise the morale of the Japanese airline business?
00:09:32I'm Mishima.
00:09:33Please give me your feelings.
00:09:35Yes.
00:09:37Thank you very much.
00:09:45I'm sorry about that time.
00:09:49No, I'm sorry for being too hard on you.
00:09:53No.
00:09:54This way, please.
00:09:56Yes.
00:10:03Thank you.
00:10:17Well then, I'll be going.
00:10:21Onii-chan.
00:10:23Here.
00:10:27With this, you'll definitely be fine.
00:10:34Komarin.
00:10:36Thank you.
00:10:52Is something wrong?
00:10:56I'm sorry.
00:10:59That amulet...
00:11:01Did someone give it to you?
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:08It was given to me by a colleague in the Pacific era.
00:11:11Do you remember the name?
00:11:15It's Sano Daichi-kun.
00:11:19Do you know my brother?
00:11:22Are you Sano Daichi-kun?
00:11:25I'm Komari, Sano's younger sister.
00:11:31My name is Mishima Yuki.
00:11:35I was on the same stage as my brother.
00:11:38Is that so?
00:11:40As soon as I returned from the war, I visited my family in Kamata.
00:11:46I heard that their house was burned down and their family was killed.
00:11:51I didn't know my sister was alive.
00:11:54Were you close to your brother?
00:11:57Yes.
00:11:59He was a wonderful young man.
00:12:02Sano-kun enjoyed telling me that he had a sister who wanted to become a pilot.
00:12:12You want to become a pilot too?
00:12:15Yes. I still have a lot of admiration for you.
00:12:20I also have a lot of admiration for you.
00:12:25But if we don't regain the sky of Japan, nothing will begin.
00:12:32The sky of Japan...
00:12:54I will say it again and again.
00:12:57Just because America won the war,
00:13:00you cannot dominate Japan's airspace.
00:13:05Is this really democracy?
00:13:07Enough already. I have another appointment.
00:13:10Then I will come again to discuss this matter.
00:13:14I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:13:17I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:13:20I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:13:22I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:13:25Then I will come again to discuss this matter.
00:13:28I don't want to see you anymore.
00:13:32You will be inconvenienced.
00:13:36Shira-san...
00:13:38Come here. Let's go.
00:13:40I've been wanting to speak with you.
00:13:44It's a waste of time.
00:13:47With the power of the country now,
00:13:49it's not worth starting an airline business.
00:13:52I don't agree with your way of thinking.
00:13:54With that kind of mentality, nothing can be done.
00:13:58Now is the time for efficiency and the acquisition of foreign currency.
00:14:02Let's go.
00:14:08However, thanks to Mr. Matsuki's hard work,
00:14:12the Japanese aviation industry began to move in the summer of the following year.
00:14:17After the war, the first Japanese aviation company, Nihon Minkan Koukou, was finally established.
00:14:23Mr. Ichiro Fujiwara was appointed as chairman,
00:14:26Mr. Seiji Yanagisawa was appointed as president,
00:14:29and Mr. Shizuo Matsuki was appointed as executive director.
00:14:33I'm Yasuo Hirakawa.
00:14:35I was in charge of the design of the strategic fighter until the end of the war.
00:14:41I'm Shusaku Yoshinaga.
00:14:43I have 2,000 hours of flying experience as a pilot until the end of the war.
00:14:48You two have high skills,
00:14:51but unfortunately, in Nihon Minkan Koukou, where there are only English-speaking countries,
00:14:56you can't operate or operate.
00:15:00But one day, I wanted to welcome people with skills to this company
00:15:06so that Japanese people can operate and operate aircraft.
00:15:11I understand.
00:15:13If you are involved in aviation, you can learn the latest technology even if you can't operate it.
00:15:17Until that day comes, I'm going to do anything, whether it's maintenance or cleaning.
00:15:22Thank you.
00:15:24I think you can make a good company.
00:15:27Yes.
00:15:29Then, I'm sorry to say this right away,
00:15:32but could you help us recruit female employees?
00:15:35Of course. I'll do anything.
00:15:41Thank you very much.
00:15:43Thank you.
00:15:45Mr. Nishima.
00:15:47Ms. Komari.
00:15:50I finally made it.
00:15:52A Japanese airline.
00:15:54I was so nervous that I came to see it.
00:15:58I can only do business now,
00:16:00but I will do my best for the day when Japanese people can operate.
00:16:04I envy you.
00:16:07If you like airplanes,
00:16:09there is a way to get involved.
00:16:12Even if I'm a woman?
00:16:14Could you wait a minute?
00:16:21Here it is.
00:16:23On July 20th, I published a recruitment advertisement for Air Girl in the newspaper.
00:16:28It's a good advertisement, isn't it?
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:32On July 20th, I published a recruitment advertisement for Air Girl in the newspaper.
00:16:37Air Girl?
00:16:39This is it.
00:16:42Air Girl.
00:16:47Air Girl.
00:16:49That small recruitment advertisement
00:16:51seemed to shine brightly in Komari's eyes.
00:17:02Air Girl.
00:17:12Here it is.
00:17:17Thank you.
00:17:19Komari saw this recruitment advertisement
00:17:22and prepared a resume the next morning
00:17:25to measure her height and weight.
00:17:29156 cm?
00:17:322 cm is not enough.
00:17:37Well, it doesn't matter.
00:17:40Age is good.
00:17:42Good.
00:17:43Single age.
00:17:47Well, it's good.
00:17:52There's nothing I can't do in English conversation.
00:18:00What?
00:18:04Today is the deadline?
00:18:21Let's go.
00:18:24Yes, it's over.
00:18:27I'm glad.
00:18:29I can make it to today's deadline.
00:18:32I'm sorry,
00:18:34but it will take at least 2 to 3 days
00:18:36to finish the photo.
00:18:39What?
00:18:41That's right.
00:18:43I can't submit it today.
00:18:48Thank you very much.
00:18:57Do you want to be an Air Girl, too?
00:19:02Yes.
00:19:05Don't give up.
00:19:13I'll submit the photo later.
00:19:17Can I apply?
00:19:19I really want to be an Air Girl.
00:19:24I understand.
00:19:25If you're passionate, you're welcome.
00:19:28Masamichi Ohara graduated from Seishin Girls' High School.
00:19:31What kind of family is he?
00:19:32My father was the principal of a private school
00:19:34as a lieutenant colonel.
00:19:36My brother graduated from Keio University
00:19:39and is now abroad.
00:19:41What a great family.
00:19:43I'll leave it to you.
00:19:44Thank you.
00:19:46I...
00:19:47Thank you for your hard work today.
00:19:49Please go home safely.
00:19:50Thank you.
00:19:56Masami, you graduated from a great school.
00:20:00You have a great family.
00:20:02That's why people like you are popular.
00:20:07I heard that Air Girls
00:20:09get paid more than college students.
00:20:12An Air Girl from the South Pacific Air Force
00:20:15received a salary of 30,000 yen.
00:20:18According to the Air Force Newspaper,
00:20:20Air Girls are a job that women long for.
00:20:24Air Force Newspaper?
00:20:26It's an airline newspaper.
00:20:28I like airplanes, so I read it sometimes.
00:20:31An airline newspaper?
00:20:34Excuse me.
00:20:35Do you know the way to Sukiyabashi?
00:20:40If you go straight down this turn right
00:20:44at the first corner, you'll be there.
00:20:47Yoshimura-san.
00:20:49What do you think?
00:20:50What do you think?
00:20:53I'm glad you passed.
00:20:56And I'm glad that these two
00:20:58who barely made it here
00:21:00are passionate about this.
00:21:02I don't think that Komari-san
00:21:04would be able to do it.
00:21:11Excuse me.
00:21:15I'm here to take a picture.
00:21:16Thank you.
00:21:19Thank you.
00:21:21I have high hopes for you.
00:21:23Thank you.
00:21:25Komari-san, who was with me that time,
00:21:27is also a wonderful person.
00:21:29She can speak English,
00:21:31and she loves airplanes so much
00:21:33that she reads airline newspapers.
00:21:35I think she's perfect for being an Air Girl.
00:21:38Thank you.
00:21:46Lately, you seem to be getting better.
00:21:50That symbolizes being an Air Girl.
00:21:53It's a job that girls long for now.
00:21:56What?
00:21:57In Japan, there are 1,300 applicants
00:21:59for the job of recruiting 12 people.
00:22:01There are that many applicants?
00:22:03That's a lot of money.
00:22:06That's right.
00:22:09It's the job of a young lady.
00:22:12Komari-chan is also a young lady
00:22:14who just graduated from high school.
00:22:19It's time to take a break.
00:22:21We're busy today.
00:22:22Let's get back to work.
00:22:23Okay.
00:22:33Hello.
00:22:34Yes?
00:22:37This is for Komari-san.
00:22:41Thank you.
00:22:58Thank goodness.
00:23:05There's a reservation for a group of people in the afternoon.
00:23:07Please hurry.
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:11Thank you for your hard work.
00:23:13I'll leave the rest to you.
00:23:15Okay.
00:23:30Thank you.
00:23:32Thank you.
00:23:34I'm Masami Ihara.
00:23:38I'm sorry.
00:23:43I'm sorry.
00:23:45I'm sorry.
00:23:48I was in a hurry.
00:23:52You smell like fish.
00:23:55Thank you.
00:24:01Can you please tell us
00:24:03why you decided to apply for Air Girl?
00:24:07Pardon?
00:24:08One more time, please.
00:24:10Sorry.
00:24:12No one understands.
00:24:14I believe Air Girl has an important role
00:24:18in contributing to the globalization of Japan.
00:24:22Women should be an active member of society in Japan
00:24:26and I hope that Air Girl will become a symbol of female empowerment.
00:24:31By diving in the show,
00:24:33I would like to prove that
00:24:35women are as capable as men in the Japanese workforce.
00:24:41American steaks and soup are very tasty.
00:24:46But Japanese sashimi and zenzai are also very tasty too.
00:24:52Yes.
00:24:57It's beautiful at first glance,
00:24:59but it's harder than working on the ground.
00:25:01We have to take care of our passengers
00:25:04and pay attention to their safety and well-being.
00:25:07Yes.
00:25:08I would like to use my knowledge of sports and medicine
00:25:11to protect the safety of passengers as Air Girl.
00:25:14I would like to support the reconstruction of Japan
00:25:17in the aviation industry.
00:25:20I would like to make my job as Air Girl
00:25:23a valuable and unique one.
00:25:26When I was young,
00:25:28I admired pilots since I saw the article
00:25:31about Japanese women flying abroad for the first time.
00:25:33I love airplanes.
00:25:35I hope I can be a pilot one day.
00:25:38I'm sorry,
00:25:40but this is not a pilot interview,
00:25:42but an interview for Air Girl.
00:25:44Thank you very much.
00:25:46Please go back.
00:25:48Thank you very much.
00:25:50I completely failed.
00:25:54I'm done.
00:25:56That's not true.
00:25:59No one is better than you.
00:26:01But I really said something wrong.
00:26:05It's okay. Be confident.
00:26:08Everyone, thank you for your hard work today.
00:26:10Out of the 168 people who came today,
00:26:14I randomly selected 40 people.
00:26:33It's you.
00:26:34It's me and Komari.
00:26:36I'm so glad.
00:26:38In the third exam,
00:26:40we will conduct a proper examination, including the general education exam.
00:26:44That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work.
00:26:58Congratulations.
00:26:59Oh, Mishima-san.
00:27:01It's amazing to be the last 40 people.
00:27:05But since I was in elementary school,
00:27:08I didn't have time to study at work,
00:27:11so I didn't have confidence in the general education exam.
00:27:15If it's okay with me, I'll take a look.
00:27:18What?
00:27:19The store is closed on Sundays, right?
00:27:21I can take my time.
00:27:23Is it really okay?
00:27:28Yes.
00:27:35I'm sorry.
00:27:47Air Girl's exam?
00:27:51I'm sorry.
00:27:54I didn't want to bother the store,
00:27:58so I couldn't say it.
00:28:01I'm against it.
00:28:04I'm against it.
00:28:06I'm strict because I want to raise you,
00:28:09who was adopted by my dead husband's brother,
00:28:12to be a good person.
00:28:15I don't want to put you on the plane.
00:28:19I'm sorry.
00:28:23I've been worried about it.
00:28:28I didn't think I would pass,
00:28:31but if I passed,
00:28:35I would have to quit my job.
00:28:38If you quit, you'll be in trouble.
00:28:41Think about the store.
00:28:43I'm really grateful to you.
00:28:49But I really want to work for Sora.
00:28:56I'm sorry.
00:28:58At least,
00:29:01can I take the exam until the end?
00:29:07If I say no, will you give up?
00:29:13What do you think?
00:29:15Answer me.
00:29:18I'm against it.
00:29:49What's wrong?
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:55I couldn't sleep.
00:29:58What's wrong?
00:30:02I don't know if I can be an air girl.
00:30:18I'm sorry.
00:30:36I still remember how happy you looked
00:30:39when your brother talked to you.
00:30:43He said you were a man,
00:30:46and you were strong.
00:30:48He wouldn't ask you to be a pilot.
00:30:52My brother...
00:31:02I was supposed to be on duty.
00:31:08What?
00:31:10But I had a high fever,
00:31:13and I was on the verge of death.
00:31:16Your brother encouraged me,
00:31:23and he helped me escape.
00:31:28He told me to go home alive.
00:31:36And your brother asked me to sortie.
00:31:50I'm sorry.
00:31:55I was supposed to be dead, not your brother.
00:32:02Don't apologize, Mishima-san.
00:32:07My brother loved the sky,
00:32:10and he wished for it.
00:32:15If you care about him,
00:32:18please get the sky back for him.
00:32:26Of course, I'll get it back.
00:32:38So please don't give up.
00:32:55I won't.
00:33:26158 centimeters.
00:33:29You're almost there.
00:33:34Please stand up.
00:33:37Please stand up.
00:33:40Please stand up.
00:33:43Please stand up.
00:33:46Please stand up.
00:33:49Please stand up.
00:33:52If you're ready, please come with me.
00:33:55Midori Aihara.
00:33:57Yes.
00:33:59Tamiko Chida.
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:03Yoko Kawamura.
00:34:05Yes.
00:34:07Masami Ihara.
00:34:09Yes.
00:34:11Komari Sano.
00:34:14Yes.
00:34:18This is the head office of Japan Civil Aviation, right?
00:34:21Is this an interview?
00:34:24Please come in.
00:34:35Everyone, thank you for your hard work today.
00:34:41I have something to tell you.
00:34:46Japan Civil Aviation has decided to hire you as an air girl.
00:34:53Did you know that?
00:34:56Congratulations.
00:34:58From now on, the world will be connected by the sky.
00:35:02I believe so.
00:35:04Let's open the sky of Japan together.
00:35:11Is there anything wrong?
00:35:15I'm happy.
00:35:18Matsuki-san, who has been working hard for a long time, was a hope for me.
00:35:26I've been longing for airplanes since I was a kid.
00:35:31I thought I could work under Matsuki-san.
00:35:38I'm not used to being lifted up.
00:35:41It's embarrassing.
00:35:43I got a lot of courage from meeting wonderful friends like you.
00:35:52Now, we will start the re-evaluation for the air girl uniform.
00:35:57Yes.
00:35:59Is it a test flight in just a week's training?
00:36:04The domestic business flight was scheduled to start in early September.
00:36:10Thanks to the support of the world, I was able to gather 15 young ladies who are good at English.
00:36:23What is the most important mission as an air girl?
00:36:27I think it's to protect the lives and safety of passengers.
00:36:31I agree.
00:36:33In order to avoid extreme low temperature and hypoxia, we must fly below the clouds.
00:36:49However, this also causes the plane to have violent turbulences.
00:36:54Now, what are the things that we should pay attention to in these circumstances?
00:37:01Sorry, you used too many difficult words.
00:37:04So, could you speak slower?
00:37:06In those circumstances, we should pay attention to the passengers' health conditions,
00:37:10such as pain in the ears, nose air, and change in the body temperature.
00:37:16What is the contents of this sandwich?
00:37:19Ham, cheese, and egg.
00:37:23Can I have a drink instead?
00:37:25Please eat as many as you like.
00:37:27Ah, I'll treat you.
00:37:29You don't drink coffee, do you?
00:37:32Ah, I'm sorry.
00:37:34I have a habit of drinking coffee.
00:37:36The plane will be landing soon.
00:37:40Please fasten your seat belt.
00:37:43Please fasten your seat belt.
00:37:48I'm sorry.
00:37:49Why did you make a mistake, Komari-san?
00:37:51Get a hold of yourself.
00:37:53Midori-san, let's get along.
00:37:56I don't want you to damage the Air Girl products.
00:38:01Then, one more time.
00:38:03Yes.
00:38:04It's early in the morning and I'm tired.
00:38:07I feel like I'm in a hot spring.
00:38:11It's not a hot spring, but there's a hot spring there.
00:38:16Don't say that. Let's go together.
00:38:19Let's go.
00:38:22I'll pass.
00:38:34Midori-san, you look like you're staying at a high-end hotel.
00:38:38I can't help it because I was raised differently.
00:38:41It's like a family.
00:38:43But you're more serious than anyone else in training.
00:38:47I don't want to talk about Midori-san anymore.
00:38:49Why don't we talk about something more fun?
00:38:51How about men?
00:38:53Is there anyone you're interested in?
00:38:55Of course, it's Mishima-san.
00:39:01I wonder if his wife is here.
00:39:03She's not here.
00:39:07No.
00:39:09Maybe.
00:39:11Maybe Komari-san...
00:39:13You like her, don't you?
00:39:17Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her.
00:39:21That's not true.
00:39:23The test flight in August.
00:39:25Did GHQ say that?
00:39:27If we're going to start operating in September, that's a must.
00:39:31If we can't do it, we might have to go back to the beginning.
00:39:34But we don't even have a contract to rent a plane from JDAC.
00:39:38A test flight...
00:39:41No, let's do it.
00:39:43Let's take a test flight from the Philippine International Airport.
00:39:53I'm sorry, Mr. Yoshinaga.
00:39:55I didn't expect a veteran pilot to do something like this.
00:39:57It's about the plane, but I'm in a good mood.
00:40:00Whether it's a business or not, I'll do it.
00:40:03Hiragawa-kun is also determined.
00:40:04We've finally come to the point where we can fly the plane.
00:40:06We'll hold out until our dreams come true.
00:40:09Yes.
00:40:10Someday, we'll be able to fly a Japanese plane in Japan.
00:40:41Air Car
00:40:52Our company is currently unable to operate or maintain.
00:40:56The only thing we can do is communicate with the passengers on board.
00:41:01Each and every one of your actions
00:41:04creates an image of Japanese civil aviation.
00:41:07Excuse me.
00:41:09Your uniforms are ready.
00:41:16Thank you.
00:41:23It's wonderful.
00:41:25Unfortunately, your shoes didn't make it in time.
00:41:28Everyone, please wear black leather shoes from home.
00:41:32Yes.
00:41:39Air Car
00:41:58August 27, 1951
00:42:04The day of the test flight.
00:42:09Thank you, Madam.
00:42:11I wish you your best and safe journey.
00:42:14Thank you for your kindness.
00:42:17It's a tough job, but I wish you good luck.
00:42:21After the death of Air Car,
00:42:25G.H.Q.'s secretary, Lady Ridgway,
00:42:28took the test flight with Hinomaru.
00:42:32She became a bodyguard,
00:42:37and the Air Car passengers
00:42:41were able to take the test flight.
00:42:45It was their first flight experience.
00:43:07August 27, 1951
00:43:12The day of the test flight.
00:43:17Thank you, Madam.
00:43:20I wish you your best and safe journey.
00:43:23After the death of Air Car,
00:43:26G.H.Q.'s secretary, Lady Ridgway,
00:43:30took the test flight with Hinomaru.
00:43:34August 27, 1951
00:43:39The day of the test flight.
00:43:42The test flight took the Japanese to the sky,
00:43:48and flew far into the sky.
00:44:04August 27, 1954
00:44:09The day of the test flight.
00:44:14I'm flying.
00:44:17August 27, 1954
00:44:22The day of the test flight.
00:44:27August 27, 1954
00:44:32The day of the test flight.
00:44:37August 27, 1954
00:44:42The day of the test flight.
00:44:47August 27, 1954
00:44:52The day of the test flight.
00:44:57August 27, 1954
00:45:02The day of the test flight.
00:45:07August 27, 1954
00:45:12The day of the test flight.
00:45:17August 27, 1954
00:45:22The day of the test flight.
00:45:27Our flight is flying stably at an altitude of 8,500 feet right now.
00:45:34How are you feeling?
00:45:36Please let me know if you feel dizzy or dizzy.
00:45:41They seem to be doing fine.
00:45:44Yes, it seems like it.
00:45:48Okay, then. You can now remove your seatbelts and walk around the aircraft.
00:46:02It seems to be no problem.
00:46:04Yes, it seems like it.
00:46:09We are just entering a turbulent zone.
00:46:12These things happen. Nothing to worry about.
00:46:18August 27, 1954
00:46:23Miss Midori, are you okay?
00:46:26Don't come any closer. Go away.
00:46:30Is something the matter?
00:46:32Oh, no, it's nothing.
00:46:34I heard a sound when the plane was shaking, so I came to check.
00:46:37It was the sound of the door.
00:46:39Oh, since we're here, can I use the bathroom?
00:46:46You should try it out.
00:46:48Thank you.
00:46:50Well, Miss Midori, please go ahead.
00:47:01Thanks to everyone, the test flight was a success.
00:47:07And as a result of the physical fitness test,
00:47:11all the Air Girls have passed.
00:47:15Let's have a toast.
00:47:17Cheers!
00:47:19Cheers!
00:47:31I'm glad.
00:47:36You seem to be in a good mood.
00:47:39I'd like to introduce you to a doctor.
00:47:41Miss Midori, you used to go to the bathroom during your training, didn't you?
00:47:47You noticed?
00:47:49We had a patient like that in our shop, too.
00:47:52He was a very serious patient.
00:47:54Thanks to a regular doctor, he was able to recover.
00:47:58Everyone, excuse me.
00:48:00In the test flight to Fukuoka the day after tomorrow,
00:48:03we will have an in-flight service.
00:48:05It will be an important flight that will influence the image of Japanese civil aviation.
00:48:09I look forward to working with you.
00:48:11Yes!
00:48:15Miss Sano.
00:48:21Congratulations.
00:48:23Your dream came true.
00:48:25Yes.
00:48:27Your brother is happy, too.
00:48:29It's your turn to make your dream come true.
00:48:33That's right.
00:48:35I'll do my best to be a pilot.
00:48:39I think my brother is rooting for you, too.
00:48:43Yes.
00:48:45Yes.
00:48:59All right.
00:49:03What are you doing?
00:49:05Everyone, stop it.
00:49:07Don't make a mistake when ordering.
00:49:09Do it properly.
00:49:11I'm not hiring you to make customers angry.
00:49:13It's because Komari-san isn't here.
00:49:15Don't talk about her.
00:49:17Don't make a mistake.
00:49:43Ma'am.
00:49:49Come in.
00:50:01I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:50:03For what?
00:50:05Because I'm not here,
00:50:09I'm bothering you.
00:50:13It can't be helped.
00:50:15You chose Air Girl over this shop.
00:50:35What is this?
00:50:37When I saw the picture,
00:50:39your shoes were too tight.
00:50:43Picture?
00:50:51Open it.
00:51:09If you don't do it properly,
00:51:11I'll be embarrassed as a parent.
00:51:17Thank you, ma'am.
00:51:21My family died in the air raid.
00:51:27So did Komari.
00:51:31That's why I thought airplanes weren't a joke.
00:51:35Even Komari was born in the sky.
00:51:40I was scared.
00:51:46But I remembered that your father loved airplanes.
00:51:53Komari...
00:51:57made her family's dream come true.
00:52:01At that time, Komari-san decided to become a pilot.
00:52:08Excuse me, but may I ask you a question?
00:52:13Is Amano-san Komari-san's relative?
00:52:20I'm sorry, I didn't tell you.
00:52:23I'm Komari-san's granddaughter.
00:52:26I'm Komari-san's granddaughter.
00:52:30I see.
00:52:33So that's your relationship.
00:52:43The plane will soon arrive at Mt. Fuji.
00:52:49What a nice view!
00:52:53Please return to your seat.
00:52:55The balance of gravity will collapse.
00:52:57Balance of gravity?
00:53:07It's nice to be able to drink coffee in the sky.
00:53:11Is this free?
00:53:13It's included in the rent.
00:53:15Please take your time.
00:53:17My ears hurt.
00:53:20It's a phenomenon that can happen to anyone due to change in air pressure.
00:53:24It is recommended to drink tea or yawn loudly.
00:53:28Excuse me.
00:53:29Yes?
00:53:30It's a little cold.
00:53:32I'll bring a blanket right away.
00:53:34I've prepared it with you on your trip.
00:53:37It's a set of Japanese civilian aircraft.
00:53:43What river is that over there?
00:53:46I'm sorry.
00:53:48I've never been to the west of Mt. Fuji.
00:53:51It's only been 40 minutes since I got on the plane two days ago.
00:53:55It's my second time today.
00:53:58You seem to have gotten used to it.
00:54:01Thank you.
00:54:05Are you okay?
00:54:06I'm fine.
00:54:08I'm sorry.
00:54:10Everyone, please rest assured.
00:54:12This tremor is due to entering the secular.
00:54:14There is no cause for flight.
00:54:17The tremor is a little strong.
00:54:19Please excuse me.
00:54:22Ladies and gentlemen.
00:54:25Please fasten your seat belts.
00:54:31Sir.
00:54:32It's not a belt for your pants.
00:54:35It's a seat belt.
00:54:37Oh, I see.
00:54:39Please fasten your seat belt.
00:54:48Mr. Komori.
00:54:51Mr. Midori.
00:54:56I came to thank you.
00:54:58Thank me?
00:55:01Thanks to the doctor you introduced me to,
00:55:04I feel much better.
00:55:07That's great, Mr. Midori.
00:55:10Now you can relax and play air golf.
00:55:14Now you can relax and play air golf.
00:55:19You're so straightforward.
00:55:22What?
00:55:23I've said terrible things to you.
00:55:27I hated you.
00:55:29When I found out we were going to work together,
00:55:31I was really disappointed.
00:55:34Well, I kind of felt it.
00:55:39I'm a member of the family.
00:55:43But I lost everything in the war.
00:55:46I couldn't stand the sympathy of the world.
00:55:50I couldn't live without working.
00:55:53I was embarrassed.
00:55:56When I found out about air golf, I was saved.
00:56:01It's a job that everyone admires.
00:56:03If there's only the head of the family,
00:56:05I thought, well, that's fine.
00:56:08I'm sorry.
00:56:10It's all mixed up.
00:56:13But I understand.
00:56:16We've all had a lot of feelings in the war.
00:56:20I'm the only one who's clinging to my past pride.
00:56:25That's what's embarrassing.
00:56:30You made me realize that.
00:56:36Are you complimenting me?
00:56:41A lot.
00:56:43Yay!
00:56:46I'm glad I met you.
00:56:49Thank you.
00:56:51It's the first time I've been told that.
00:57:01In Keiichi, Osaka,
00:57:03In just 20 minutes,
00:57:06I even packed a sandwich.
00:57:08I was desperate.
00:57:10It's a hard job.
00:57:13It's going to be hard to go to Sapporo for the next test flight.
00:57:17But I can't go to Hokkaido.
00:57:22The test flight to Sapporo will be canceled on September 1.
00:57:26Cancel?
00:57:27What do you mean?
00:57:28It's a dispute between Philippine International Airlines and the aircraft cargo.
00:57:32If the aircraft cargo is increased,
00:57:35the test flight to Sapporo will be rescheduled.
00:57:37Then we won't be able to go to Hokkaido in time for September.
00:57:41If the cargo increases,
00:57:43we'll have to increase the number of passengers,
00:57:45and we'll have to worry about not having enough passengers.
00:57:48If the opening is delayed,
00:57:50it will put pressure on the management of the test flight to hundreds of people.
00:57:54It will even jeopardize the company's existence.
00:57:58The current situation is that
00:58:00only the JDAC can negotiate the air traffic regulations.
00:58:06I will definitely change it.
00:58:11We can't afford to delay the Japanese aviation industry any further.
00:58:16Now, foreign airlines are trying to introduce jet aircraft.
00:58:23Mr. Matsuki, you should look at the reality.
00:58:27The aviation industry is not a piece of cake.
00:58:30The smart way of Japan today is to leave it to the far-reaching Western countries with technology.
00:58:39That's the Prime Minister's idea.
00:58:45Didn't you make the Prime Minister think so?
00:58:49If you sell the air to the Western countries,
00:58:52what will Japan have left?
00:58:57How far are you going to devour Japan?
00:59:03I can't talk to you.
00:59:21I've always wanted to be in the air.
00:59:24I thought I could work under you.
00:59:33If we don't regain Japan's air, nothing will begin.
00:59:52I thought we were done talking.
01:00:04Mr. Matsuki.
01:00:10Please.
01:00:13Please review the air traffic regulations.
01:00:21If we can negotiate with the JDAC,
01:00:24which understands us,
01:00:29everything will move forward.
01:00:34Whether we fight for Japan's industry or sell it to foreign countries,
01:00:41the decision of the government will change the fate of the Japanese aviation industry.
01:00:52Mr. Matsuki, you and I have different opinions.
01:00:58We have different opinions.
01:01:02But I'll tell the Prime Minister.
01:01:08If he thinks it's impossible,
01:01:11then we'll pull the trigger.
01:01:18From then on, the fate of Japanese civil aviation opened at once.
01:01:26We signed a charter agreement with Central Airlines.
01:01:32We'll fly to Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.
01:01:42The press will spread the bad news.
01:01:46We'll hold a conference in Japan.
01:01:50It must have been hard to gather passengers.
01:01:55At the time, airplanes were generally thought to be rich.
01:02:04We couldn't make air traffic with the number one aircraft in Japan.
01:02:11We had to gather passengers.
01:02:15Do you have enough passengers?
01:02:17No.
01:02:19Please let us know if you need anything.
01:02:22Thank you.
01:02:24Can we still make a reservation for 12 people?
01:02:27Can we make a reservation for 12 people?
01:02:30I saw you working hard,
01:02:33so I called my relatives.
01:02:35A lot of people came.
01:02:37Thank you.
01:02:39Everyone, please listen.
01:02:44From October 25,
01:02:46we'll check-in the passengers here
01:02:49and take them to the airport by bus.
01:02:52We'll start the passengers' journey here,
01:02:56so please be as considerate as possible.
01:03:00There will be two airgirls
01:03:03who will board the first Japanese civil aviation,
01:03:07Tokyo-Hatsu-Fukuoka.
01:03:14Midori Aihara
01:03:19and Komari Sano.
01:03:26Nice to meet you.
01:03:28Yes.
01:03:34Mr. Hirakawa, is the maintenance over?
01:03:37I think so.
01:03:39You think?
01:03:41Central Airport didn't even let us
01:03:43set up the seats.
01:03:45It's a dream for Japanese people
01:03:47to do maintenance.
01:03:49The reality is harsh.
01:03:51We pilots can't even train.
01:03:55Now is the time to do our best.
01:03:57Mr. Matsuki is trying to negotiate
01:03:59so that Mr. Hirakawa and the others
01:04:01can participate in the maintenance.
01:04:03We pilots are trying to give them
01:04:05a chance to see the latest piloting technology
01:04:07on a plane as a purser.
01:04:09I will never give up
01:04:11flying the Japanese plane.
01:04:22On the day of the domestic flight,
01:04:25a group of passengers
01:04:27boarded the first Japanese civil aviation
01:04:30in the dark.
01:04:33Airgirl is a hot topic in Japan.
01:04:36I'm proud of her as a relative.
01:04:40Komari.
01:04:42You did a good job.
01:04:44Thank you.
01:04:46I'm going to make a route
01:04:48to buy a new eye ball
01:04:50and a fugu.
01:04:52And I wanted to show you
01:04:54how beautiful you are.
01:04:58Daichi is happy.
01:05:02Yes.
01:05:04I'll do my best.
01:05:07Thank you for waiting.
01:05:09This is a sandwich and coffee
01:05:11that I'm proud of.
01:05:13Thank you.
01:05:32It's as planned.
01:05:35Please guide the passengers.
01:05:37Yes.
01:05:44Take it.
01:05:46My pleasure.
01:05:56On that day,
01:05:58the history of Japanese civil aviation
01:06:01has begun.
01:06:15Masaki.
01:06:17We're flying.
01:06:20Yes.
01:06:26We finally got back
01:06:28the Japanese sky.
01:06:30However,
01:06:32after the festival,
01:06:34the number of passengers
01:06:36was limited
01:06:38to the president
01:06:40of a top company
01:06:42and the military.
01:06:44The departure was delayed
01:06:46and there were many accidents.
01:06:48The situation was getting worse.
01:06:51In Haneda,
01:06:53there was no engine
01:06:55and we had to turn the propeller
01:06:57after the passengers got off.
01:06:59We couldn't fix it
01:07:01with our own hands.
01:07:03I'm sorry,
01:07:05but that's the reality
01:07:07of Japan.
01:07:09I want you to hold on for a while.
01:07:11How long should I hold on?
01:07:13It's the same for everyone.
01:07:15We also collect funds
01:07:17and keep our heads down.
01:07:19However,
01:07:21the Japanese mechanics
01:07:23are being used by the Americans
01:07:25until late at night
01:07:28I'm sorry.
01:07:31I was too naive.
01:07:34I apologize for that.
01:07:39However,
01:07:42there must be a way out.
01:07:46Do you see that?
01:07:50Next year,
01:07:52a treaty to recognize Japan's independence
01:07:54will be issued.
01:07:56On that occasion,
01:07:59I hope that the restrictions
01:08:01will be lifted
01:08:03and that Japan's civil aviation
01:08:05will be allowed
01:08:07to operate freely.
01:08:10No,
01:08:12we have to do that.
01:08:16While the number of passengers
01:08:18is declining due to the bad weather,
01:08:21the payment of the salary
01:08:23and the money
01:08:25are increasing.
01:08:28The burden of the remaining people
01:08:30is increasing,
01:08:32and the number of retirees is increasing.
01:08:35From dark to late at night,
01:08:37we are flying in the sky.
01:08:40I want to sleep a little longer,
01:08:42so I don't even eat breakfast.
01:08:44Really?
01:08:46Yesterday,
01:08:48I ate the leftovers of the customers.
01:08:50I often sleep
01:08:52without taking a bath.
01:08:55I'm so tired today.
01:08:58Hey,
01:09:00do you want to go to Sento?
01:09:02Sounds good.
01:09:04I may be able to get rid of my fatigue a little.
01:09:09How about you, Midori?
01:09:14Thank you.
01:09:16It feels good.
01:09:19We are alone again.
01:09:22No one will quit after this, right?
01:09:25I will continue.
01:09:27I like this job
01:09:29where I can spend
01:09:31a special time with many customers.
01:09:33I don't quit because it's hard,
01:09:35but because it's a woman's job.
01:09:37I will never stop
01:09:39until the international flight.
01:09:42International flight, huh?
01:09:44The world is expanding.
01:09:47I wonder how much fun it would be
01:09:49if I could fly
01:09:51over the sea with my pilot.
01:09:53Do you still admire your pilot?
01:09:57I believe that
01:09:59such a chance will come one day.
01:10:02During the war,
01:10:04I just felt sad.
01:10:07I never imagined
01:10:09such a day would come,
01:10:11but now we are flying in the sky.
01:10:15If I don't give up,
01:10:17I can definitely do it.
01:10:20I think you can do it.
01:10:23Thank you.
01:10:53You really think you can operate this?
01:10:55Hey.
01:10:57Are you out of your mind?
01:10:59Stop it!
01:11:01Stop it!
01:11:03You go to hell, Jap!
01:11:11That was bad.
01:11:13Let's go to Ayano.
01:11:15No.
01:11:17I don't want to go to Earth anymore.
01:11:19I don't want to go to Ayano.
01:11:21I don't want to go to Earth anymore.
01:11:24Let me go.
01:11:25Yoshinaga!
01:11:26I don't want to go to Ayano!
01:11:29I don't think I can go any further.
01:11:51Here.
01:12:14You're serving as a purser
01:12:16to observe the pilot's technology.
01:12:18Don't let him into the cockpit. He's a nuisance.
01:12:23If you help out with the service,
01:12:26even the passengers will think you're a tough guy.
01:12:32I really can't see the future.
01:12:37Isn't it better to be excited when you can't see the future?
01:12:43It's the same as the sky.
01:12:46What?
01:12:48It's a luxury, Mishima-san.
01:12:51You already have the technology to fly a plane.
01:12:58If you don't give up and work hard,
01:13:01you'll be able to fly one day.
01:13:05But I've never even held a flight controller.
01:13:11I can't see the future.
01:13:19Even so,
01:13:23I will never give up.
01:13:41I'm sorry.
01:13:55It's all about the latest mechanisms and cleaning.
01:14:01It'll work, right?
01:14:03For the pilot.
01:14:06Amazing.
01:14:07Yes.
01:14:09But isn't this something important?
01:14:14It's okay. I've already memorized it.
01:14:21Thank you.
01:14:24What?
01:14:26You cheered me up.
01:14:29If I think about your brother,
01:14:32it would be a shame if I was sad.
01:14:38But...
01:14:43I'm happy.
01:14:46Why?
01:14:48Because you smiled at me.
01:14:50I'm sorry.
01:15:05I'd like to ask that lady over there.
01:15:10I'm sorry.
01:15:12I'll send you the magazine later.
01:15:14Thank you.
01:15:21I'm sorry.
01:15:29Calm down.
01:15:31Are you okay?
01:15:33Are you okay?
01:15:37Are you okay?
01:15:39Get a hold of yourself!
01:15:47Are you okay?
01:15:48Calm down.
01:15:50Are you okay?
01:15:52Are you okay?
01:15:54Are you okay?
01:16:13Matsuki.
01:16:18She's still sleeping.
01:16:21I'm relieved to hear that her brain is fine.
01:16:25It's the pilot's fault.
01:16:30Her flight altitude was clearly low.
01:16:33She noticed the waves in front of her and raised her altitude in a hurry.
01:16:40If we knew the terrain of Japan well, we wouldn't have been able to fly so low.
01:16:45If I had been in the cockpit, I could have warned them in advance, but they wouldn't have allowed me to do that.
01:16:52We can't leave it to the United States.
01:16:55If the Japanese can't fly, the Japanese Air Force will be in danger.
01:17:00Our aircraft, which is a priority for the Central Air Force, may be out of control.
01:17:06This is a matter of life and death for the passengers and crew.
01:17:13And then, in 1952, as if waiting for the year to end, Matsuki started to move vigorously.
01:17:24At this time, the Japanese Civil Aviation was trying to secure the highest level of safety.
01:17:31At the same time as the overseas training of Japanese pilots was carried out,
01:17:37we decided to move towards the establishment of a maintenance company.
01:17:46In the future, we will also focus on the future of international flights and work to further improve the service.
01:17:55But at the moment, isn't it dangerous for an airline company that is recognized only by the business sector to invest in piloting and maintenance?
01:18:03I believe that the government will also recognize the freedom of activity because the occupation system will end with the signing of a treaty that recognizes Japan's independence.
01:18:16Can you see the light at last?
01:18:19Matsuki is right. Let's believe.
01:18:24If you continue to act like this, I swear you will lose your status you have right now.
01:18:38I don't mind losing this job, but we will not give up our company policy.
01:18:55I'm scared.
01:18:58Our safety is our responsibility.
01:19:02It must be must in control of the operation and maintenance.
01:19:08This is our job, not yours.
01:19:15Excuse me, Mr. Matsuki.
01:19:20Mr. Shirao.
01:19:21You are right.
01:19:24Is there a future for Japan's private aviation with the current bicycle industry?
01:19:31The cost of maintenance and piloting is based on the United States.
01:19:35However, we are a poor country in the developing world.
01:19:40We can't make a fortune with this.
01:19:42We have to pay for everything as Japanese.
01:19:44In the first place, the delay in the maintenance of Central Airlines is causing the current situation.
01:19:51I can only hear excuses.
01:19:53I think it's safer to stay under the umbrella of the United States.
01:19:57Japan's private aviation is a Japanese airline.
01:20:08Certainly, the management of Japan's private aviation was in trouble.
01:20:14Because there should be no bad rumors.
01:20:19They put employees and their families on the plane.
01:20:22They pretended to have a lot of passengers.
01:20:27Thank you.
01:20:29That's his line.
01:20:31It's the best because everyone can eat delicious fugu.
01:20:36Please.
01:20:44On the back of the plane, employees are wearing their own clothes to earn money.
01:20:52Is it a waste to spend money on aviation?
01:20:57Aviation is a national business that affects the fate of the country.
01:21:01Does that mean that it is the end of Japan's top work?
01:21:04Investing in Japan's private aviation is the same as investing in Japan's future.
01:21:10It's the same as investing in Japan's future.
01:21:13Japan's private aviation has accelerated its movement towards self-sufficiency.
01:21:20Please make great achievements in the United States.
01:21:25I will learn as a pilot.
01:21:31Mr. Yoshinaga, you've finally come this far.
01:21:35Yes.
01:21:37Your turn will come someday.
01:21:40Yes.
01:21:42I'm always ready.
01:21:47Mr. Matsuki, can I ask you a question?
01:21:51Will you start a pilot's mission without flying experience?
01:21:55Of course, I'm going to start one someday.
01:21:58Is that possible for women?
01:22:07I see.
01:22:10You've always wanted to be a pilot, haven't you?
01:22:15Yes.
01:22:17I think it's a wonderful dream.
01:22:21Thank you.
01:22:25Can I ask you a question?
01:22:29Can I ask you a question?
01:22:33To protect the safety of the sky,
01:22:37peace of mind is also important.
01:22:40I recommend having a family.
01:22:46Family?
01:22:48If you have someone important to you,
01:22:51you will have a strong desire to protect your life.
01:22:56Yes.
01:22:58Matsuki, I'm in trouble.
01:23:00What's wrong, Chairman Fujiwara?
01:23:02All American Airlines is going to set up a joint company
01:23:06with Keihanshin Co., Ltd.
01:23:10A joint company?
01:23:12It's a domestic airline that's competing with our company.
01:23:14It costs 3,500 yen between Tokyo and Osaka.
01:23:16It's a very low price.
01:23:18That's not true.
01:23:20If that happens, we'll be in trouble.
01:23:24It's Shirasu Jiro.
01:23:27Shirasu Jiro?
01:23:29He's the one behind all this, isn't he?
01:23:38What do you mean by a joint company with Keihanshin Co., Ltd.?
01:23:42I'm sorry to say this,
01:23:44but Japanese private airlines have no future.
01:23:47That's why I'm talking about
01:23:50setting up a joint company with All American Airlines.
01:23:53Do you have no desire to believe in the power of Japanese companies,
01:24:02no, the power of Japanese people?
01:24:06It's because I believe in the power of Japanese people
01:24:09that it's a war and a losing battle.
01:24:13It's because All American Airlines has the corporate power
01:24:17that we can achieve low-priced luck.
01:24:18That's how we can contribute to the development of Japan.
01:24:25Do you really want to destroy Japanese private airlines that much?
01:24:33It's a company that can be destroyed at any time.
01:24:39Even if you fight with all your might,
01:24:42it won't change the Takeyari Corps.
01:24:49It's because you have a desire that everything starts.
01:24:54Nothing is born just by wagging your tail in the West.
01:25:00If I were to tell you,
01:25:03you would be the Prime Minister's neighbor,
01:25:06and I would be the Prime Minister's son.
01:25:09You would be the Prime Minister's son,
01:25:12and I would be the Prime Minister's son.
01:25:14If I were to tell you,
01:25:16you would be a broker who uses the position of being the Prime Minister's neighbor
01:25:21to sell Japan's future overseas.
01:25:28You don't have the authority to decide who I am.
01:25:35Today, our relationship became clear.
01:25:38It's a face-to-face confrontation between Japanese private airlines and Japan-US joint airlines.
01:25:43Is that all right with you?
01:26:08Thank you for everything.
01:26:10But no one has made a bigger impression on me than Shizuo Matsuki.
01:26:15I purely respect that man for his tenacious strength of faith and virtue.
01:26:21He's a true hero, even in times of desperation.
01:26:29And then, the Japanese-US joint airline was hit by a reverse wind.
01:26:38Journalism and public opinion
01:26:41were on the side of Japanese private airlines
01:26:45rather than Shirasu Jiro, who was at the center of power.
01:26:50The Japanese, who seized the momentum of the Korean War,
01:26:55strongly sought liberation and independence from the occupation.
01:27:02It was also the result of the hard work of the Japanese private airline employees
01:27:09who continued to solve the needs of the Japanese aviation industry.
01:27:18Shirasu Jiro's company, the Japanese-US joint airline,
01:27:23took off.
01:27:26And then, in October of that year,
01:27:31a new history was engraved in the Japanese private airline.
01:27:37With the support of many people,
01:27:41our company was able to take off for the self-driving operation of our dream
01:27:46with our own private airline and our own private airplane.
01:27:50Safe operation is the greatest mission and responsibility.
01:27:55For that reason, let's prepare too carefully every day.
01:28:02Let's have the courage to be called cowards.
01:28:08Cheers!
01:28:18It was good.
01:28:21Congratulations.
01:28:26Ms. Sano, congratulations.
01:28:30Congratulations.
01:28:32Shirasu Jiro's company, the Japanese-US joint airline,
01:28:36took off.
01:28:52You're Shirasu Jiro, right?
01:28:57Won't you come in?
01:29:02If you have a message for Matsuki, I will accept it.
01:29:08Please tell her congratulations.
01:29:14Are you going to bless her?
01:29:18Because the long night of the sky of this country has dawned.
01:29:26Well, it's a little cramped country for a person like me.
01:29:32I'm sorry.
01:29:42Komari-san at that time was overflowing with feelings for the sky.
01:29:48Were you close to Komari-san?
01:29:54You're Yuuki Mijima, right?
01:29:57Do you know my name?
01:30:07My grandmother cherished me.
01:30:28I was wondering if Mijima-san was Komari-san's first love.
01:30:41I was the one who had feelings for her.
01:30:46I was the one who had feelings for her.
01:30:55You're finally getting closer to your dream.
01:30:59That's right.
01:31:01It's been 39 years since I became a town.
01:31:04I will definitely go someday.
01:31:10Yes.
01:31:17When it was 1953, the international flight was decided.
01:31:23The management also started to get on board.
01:31:27I'd like a coffee.
01:31:30Yes, sir.
01:31:32Please give it to me.
01:31:34Yes, sir.
01:31:46I'm sorry.
01:31:48I'm sorry.
01:32:16I'm sorry.
01:32:46I'm not sure.
01:32:48I'm sure.
01:32:50I'm sure.
01:32:52I'm sure.
01:32:54I'm sure.
01:33:11Mishima-san.
01:33:12You're not supposed to have a flight today.
01:33:17Actually, I have a favor to ask.
01:33:20A favor?
01:33:22Can you show me your cockpit?
01:33:39Do you want to sit?
01:33:42Can I?
01:34:05This is the first time I've held a cockpit.
01:34:09How do you feel?
01:34:12I feel like I want to fly to the ends of the world.
01:34:22I wonder how much fun it would be if I could fly over the sea.
01:34:29Komori, you made your family's dream come true.
01:34:34If I don't give up and work hard, I'll be able to fly someday.
01:34:39I will never give up.
01:34:42I will definitely go someday.
01:34:47I'm sorry.
01:35:07I don't have anything left to remember.
01:35:12What?
01:35:14I'm resigning today.
01:35:19What do you mean?
01:35:22My eyesight is getting worse and worse.
01:35:26I was diagnosed with blindness.
01:35:34I can't work as an air girl anymore.
01:35:37I can't be a pilot either.
01:35:44That's because of the transfer on that flight.
01:35:56What are you going to do when you quit?
01:36:02Mishima-san...
01:36:07I...
01:36:21I want you to fly a lot for me.
01:36:37I want you to fly a lot for me.
01:36:52Far away?
01:36:55You haven't decided where to go yet?
01:37:00I want to fly around freely.
01:37:07I want to fly around freely.
01:37:10I've been working all this time.
01:37:13I want to fly around freely.
01:37:18Mishima-san...
01:37:22I'm sorry for being selfish.
01:37:34What are you saying?
01:37:37Komarin...
01:37:40No matter where you are, you are my family.
01:37:46Thank you.
01:38:07Thank you.
01:38:09Thank you.
01:38:11Thank you.
01:38:13Thank you.
01:38:15Thank you.
01:38:17Thank you.
01:38:19Thank you.
01:38:21Thank you.
01:38:23Thank you.
01:38:25Thank you.
01:38:27Thank you.
01:38:29Thank you.
01:38:31Thank you.
01:38:33Thank you.
01:38:36After that, I never had a chance to see her again.
01:38:44And in 1954, the international flight to Japan was launched.
01:38:54The only thing that was left was that Komarin-san was not there.
01:39:06But I was really happy to see you.
01:39:11I was also happy to see you, Mishima-san.
01:39:18I will do my best to be rewarded for the hard work of the Japanese Civil Aviation.
01:39:25Is that so?
01:39:27You joined this company, too?
01:39:29Yes.
01:39:30I followed Komarin-san's dream and joined the company as a pilot.
01:39:34That's right.
01:39:36There is something I want to give you.
01:40:04Thank you.
01:40:06Thank you.
01:40:08Thank you.
01:40:10Thank you.
01:40:12Thank you.
01:40:14Thank you.
01:40:16Thank you.
01:40:18Thank you.
01:40:20Thank you.
01:40:22Thank you.
01:40:24Thank you.
01:40:26Thank you.
01:40:28Thank you.
01:40:30Thank you.
01:40:32Thank you.
