00:07:15Passengers to and from Portland,
00:07:18please board from gate 27.
00:07:25I'm sorry, sir.
00:07:26The passengers are waiting outside.
00:07:29We'll take care of the rest.
00:07:33Thank you very much.
00:07:37Harada, the teacher is waiting outside.
00:07:39Yes, sir.
00:07:40Akira, take care.
00:07:48Akira.
00:07:49Yes?
00:07:51How are you doing this season?
00:07:55Are you confident that you can catch up to Hiroko Nagasaki this year?
00:07:59Yes, I am.
00:08:01Then the Olympics are coming up.
00:08:03Yes.
00:08:04Even if I can't make it, I'll make it in four years.
00:08:06Really.
00:08:07I'm looking forward to it.
00:08:09Leave it to me.
00:08:12Well, let's go.
00:08:17I'll be back.
00:08:21I'll be fine.
00:08:23I'll be back in a year.
00:08:28I'll be right back.
00:08:33See you.
00:08:36See you.
00:08:42Akira.
00:08:45I'm sorry.
00:08:46I'm sorry I couldn't go with you.
00:08:55Akira.
00:08:57Akira.
00:08:59Akira.
00:09:06Akira.
00:09:12How do you do?
00:09:14How do you do?
00:09:16What?
00:09:17How do you do?
00:09:20You say how do you do in English, right?
00:09:23Akira, can you speak English?
00:09:25No, I learned it from my sister.
00:09:28You're good.
00:09:31If you need anything, press this button.
00:09:35Don't hesitate.
00:09:37See you.
00:09:47How do you do?
00:09:49How do you do?
00:10:00Hi, how are you doing?
00:10:30How are you doing?
00:10:54Ladies and gentlemen, we are expecting a lift.
00:10:57Could you please fasten your seat belts?
00:11:27Minako will stay in Japan.
00:11:33As I said before, if there is a financial problem,
00:11:37please let me know.
00:11:41The next two or three years will be the most important.
00:11:45I don't know if Minako will be able to become an Olympic athlete.
00:11:51I'm sorry.
00:11:53I'm sorry.
00:11:55Minako and I are brothers.
00:11:59I know how sad it is for her to be separated from her brother.
00:12:05I've raised many children,
00:12:09but I feel more sorry for raising a child with such talent.
00:12:17Minako, how do you feel?
00:12:24If you're worried about your family,
00:12:28you don't have to worry.
00:12:31I know it's hard for you to go abroad,
00:12:36but you don't have any children.
00:12:40I'm sure you two can manage.
00:12:44I'm sure you two can manage.
00:12:51Minako.
00:12:55Please give me a year.
00:12:58A year?
00:13:00I want to do my best until I graduate from middle school.
00:13:08If that doesn't work, I'll work.
00:13:13I'll work and live with Akira.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:26I can't give up swimming.
00:13:31I can't give up swimming.
00:13:41Akira, aren't you mad at Minako?
00:13:45Minako won't go with you.
00:13:48Why should I be mad?
00:13:50Minako has talent.
00:13:52She has the potential to become an Olympic athlete.
00:13:57But...
00:13:59Don't worry. I'm going to America.
00:14:03It's bigger than Tokyo.
00:14:06But I don't have any friends.
00:14:09I can't read magazines.
00:14:13I can't watch TV.
00:14:21It's okay.
00:14:23It's only a year.
00:14:26When you go back to Japan, you'll be with Minako.
00:14:31You'll experience everything.
00:14:34Right, Jinjiro?

00:20:41Hello.
00:20:44Who are you?
00:20:47I'm Uncle Eizo, Kyoko's husband.
00:20:55I'm glad Uncle Eizo came to pick you up.
00:21:00I'll leave the rest to you.
00:21:03You're leaving?
00:21:06I have a meeting. I'll see you later.
00:21:09When?
00:21:12I'll be here for a week.

00:24:52This is a nice place.
00:24:55Yeah.
00:24:58I like Portland.
00:25:01To be honest, I prefer Tokyo.
00:25:06Are you close to Uncle's house?
00:25:12How far is it from here?
00:25:15Let's sleep for a while.
00:25:18I'll wake you up when we get there.
00:25:21There's still so much left?
00:25:26I'm not sleepy.

00:29:01Hi. How are you doing?
00:29:06Akira.
00:29:12This is Casper's family.
00:29:15Come and say hello.
00:29:18Hello?
00:29:25Hi. How are you?
00:29:31Let me introduce my family.

00:29:40Jimmy, my eldest.
00:29:43Michael, my second son.
00:29:46Hi.
00:29:49My name's Michael. What's yours?
00:29:52I'm asking for your name.
00:29:56Harada Akira.
00:29:59Good. Nice to meet you.
00:30:02How are you? How old are you?
00:30:05Do you like it here?
00:30:08Can you speak English?
00:30:11How do you like Oregon?
00:30:14You look like such a nice boy.

00:32:19Get out!
00:32:26I'm glad you came.
00:32:29I'm really glad you came.
00:32:32You must have been surprised.
00:32:35Of course I was.
00:32:38When I first came to see you,
00:32:41you were crying.
00:32:44But it's a nice place.
00:32:47It's a really nice place.
00:32:50Let's go.
00:32:56A YEAR LATER
00:32:59A YEAR LATER
00:33:07Grandpa.
00:33:13This is Akira.
00:33:18He's Uncle Eizo's father.
00:33:21Hello.
00:33:27Akira just got here.
00:33:30That's great.
00:33:36Eizo, I got a call from Koji.
00:33:39He said he couldn't come today.
00:33:42Koji is Eizo's brother.
00:33:45He's a car salesman in Portland.
00:33:48I don't know how long this is going to go on.
00:33:51I don't know how long this is going to go on.
00:33:54I got a call from Mr. Keston.
00:33:57He said you should come right away.
00:34:00I went to see Karin.
00:34:03She said she's moving the 300 acres of land to another farm.
00:34:06That's a lot of work.
00:34:09Let's get something to eat.
00:34:12I'll be right there.
00:34:15This is where Uncle Eizo works.
00:34:29Akira.
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:33The second floor of this staircase leads to the ladies' room.
00:34:36That's your room.
00:34:39The bathroom is over there.
00:34:42This is your room.
00:34:48This is Uncle Eizo's room.
00:35:07This is your room.
00:35:10You want to take off your shoes, right?
00:35:13You can take them off now.
00:35:16I've got a towel ready for you.
00:35:19You must be tired.
00:35:22You should get some sleep before dinner.
00:35:25Oh, right.
00:35:27You should take a shower first.
00:35:29I'll get you a bath towel.
00:35:31Auntie.
00:35:33Who's picture is that?
00:35:36Picture?
00:35:39It's a picture of Minoru.
00:35:42Minoru?
00:35:45He's your uncle's son.
00:35:48He died four years ago.
00:35:51He was a weak kid.
00:35:54He was five years old when he died.
00:35:57He was sick.
00:36:01Oh.
00:36:04Don't tell Uncle about Minoru.
00:36:09Please.
00:38:30Please.
00:38:33Oh, no. I didn't order anything.
00:38:36It's a gentleman for you.
00:38:45Koji-san.
00:38:49Hi.
00:38:52Long time no see.
00:38:55How are you?
00:38:58Long time no see.
00:39:03Can you leave me alone?
00:39:06I didn't ask you to sit down.
00:39:09Aren't the actors waiting for you?
00:39:12Akira-kun came today.
00:39:15I'm busy with work.
00:39:18Your work in America ends at five, right?
00:39:23I'm sorry, but I have to go.
00:39:29You must be lonely.
00:39:32You can stay in my room later.
00:39:39I'm glad.
00:39:42I'll be waiting.
00:39:45Make a barricade at the door.
00:39:59Can you believe it?
00:40:02That woman went to California.
00:40:05She even went to Cisco.
00:40:08Who are you talking about?
00:40:11Scott.
00:40:14He was sick the other day.
00:40:17He went home.
00:40:22He went to San Francisco.
00:40:28I feel sorry for him.
00:40:31It's a big deal for him to go that far.
00:40:34I wonder if she's a real woman.
00:40:37What do you mean?
00:40:40Was he a man?
00:40:45Akira found out.
00:40:48Akira, where's the rice?
00:40:51I'll get some more.
00:40:54It's not bread.
00:40:57This is America.
00:41:00I'm surprised.
00:41:03We eat a lot of Japanese food.
00:41:06Here you are.
00:41:09If you go to the city, you'll find a lot of Japanese food.
00:41:121949.
00:41:19Showa.
00:41:231924.
00:41:26Yes, 1924.
00:41:29I came to America from Kumamoto for the first time.
00:41:35I was a carpenter.
00:41:38My father was a carpenter, too.
00:41:41We were a family of carpenters.
00:41:47I had just returned from the war.
00:41:50I couldn't find a job in Japan.
00:41:53I wanted to go to America.
00:41:59I was invited by a friend of mine.
00:42:06I told him I was dead.
00:42:09He took me to a movie theater.
00:42:15I was about Akira's age.
00:42:21I didn't have anything at that time.
00:42:27Even if I had money, I couldn't afford to buy rice.
00:42:35My family came to America.
00:42:39I couldn't speak English.
00:42:42I didn't have a job.
00:42:45But I worked hard.
00:42:48I couldn't go back to Japan.
00:42:53I didn't need money.
00:42:56I just wanted to feed my family.
00:42:59I did everything I could.
00:43:03Even if I couldn't speak English,
00:43:06I was told by a white man to laugh.
00:43:09I said, yes, yes.
00:43:12I did it.
00:43:16I said, yes, yes.
00:43:20I felt sorry for my 8-year-old son.
00:43:26That's how my family was born.
00:43:34A carpenter was born in my family.
00:43:37I didn't have a house to live in.
00:43:45I had to support my family.
00:43:52I saved up money.
00:43:59I had a small farm.
00:44:02I sold strawberries to the white man.
00:44:13I see.
00:44:16I don't think you can do that.
00:44:19I don't care if I can't.
00:44:22I want you to listen to me.
00:44:26I want you to follow me.
00:44:32I want you to listen to me.
00:44:35I want you to listen to me.
00:44:38Yes!
00:44:41Excuse me.
00:44:44What?
00:44:47What do you mean, I'm following you?
00:44:50You're the one who's following me.
00:44:53You're the one who's following me.
00:44:56Grandpa, what about dinner?
00:44:59Dinner?
00:45:03No.
00:45:08I made a promise to my sister.
00:45:11I promised her that I'd only live with her for a year.
00:45:14After a year,
00:45:17I'd go back to Tokyo and live with her.
00:45:30I'll be fine.
00:45:44I don't think you'll need this.
00:45:47If it's cold,
00:45:50there are blankets on the shelf.
00:45:53You can use this.
00:45:59Can you close the curtains for me?
00:46:01The window.
00:46:07Aunt!
00:46:08What's wrong?
00:46:10It's snowing!
00:46:12It's snowing!
00:46:14I don't know.
00:46:16Why?
00:46:18It was so warm during the day.
00:46:20Why?
00:46:22This is Oregon.
00:46:25Unlike Japan,
00:46:27even in the same spring,
00:46:29the weather changes all day long.
00:46:33During the day, it's hot like summer,
00:46:36but at night, it's snowing like this.
00:46:40That's how harsh nature is.
00:46:45But tomorrow morning will be spring again.
00:46:48The weather will be wonderful.
00:46:58What were you doing, Akira?
00:47:02I was surprised.
00:47:04It was snowing all of a sudden.
00:47:13Kyoko.
00:47:16Yes?
00:47:17It's a prophecy.
00:47:20What is it?
00:47:22Akira will return to Japan in a year.
00:47:25Return?
00:47:27Yes.
00:47:30Did you make a promise with Akira?
00:47:34No, I didn't.
00:47:36It seems that
00:47:38Akira and Minako
00:47:40made that promise on their own.
00:47:44Minako worked hard this year.
00:47:49She said that
00:47:51she would graduate from middle school and work.
00:47:55I think that's why.
00:47:59Akira thinks so, too.
00:48:02He will stay in America for only a year.
00:48:06After a year, he will return to Japan
00:48:09and live with Minako.
00:48:15But...
00:48:17even if he can't swim,
00:48:20Minako will graduate from middle school and work.
00:48:24I feel sorry for her.
00:48:26She has to take care of Akira.
00:48:30That's why
00:48:32I told Minako
00:48:35that after she graduates from middle school,
00:48:38she should look at the time
00:48:40and talk to him again.
00:48:50Hey.
00:48:54Akira thinks so now,
00:49:00but what if...
00:49:03What if...
00:49:07What if...
00:49:09Akira...
00:49:15likes this house
00:49:18and wants to stay here forever?
00:49:26What?
00:49:35I'm sorry.
00:49:37I should have known.
00:49:41You don't know
00:49:43what kind of person Akira is.
00:49:47I'm sorry
00:49:52for asking you to do that.
00:50:07Where are you going?
00:50:10I'm going to see my grandchild.
00:50:16I'm going to see my grandchild.
00:50:46I'm going to see my grandchild.
00:51:10Sister!
00:51:12Sister!
00:51:15Sister!
00:51:17Sister!
00:51:21Sister!
00:51:23Sister!
00:51:44It's 11 o'clock in Tokyo.
00:52:14It's 11 o'clock in Tokyo.
00:52:40It's like a whale.
00:52:45Mother.
00:52:59How do you live?
00:53:15Akira!
00:53:20Good morning.
00:53:23Good morning.
00:53:38Grandpa.
00:53:45You're early. Good morning.
00:53:47Good morning.
00:53:52You came again.
00:53:54What are you doing?
00:53:56Deer.
00:53:58Deer?
00:54:01Deer?
00:54:03That deer?
00:54:05Is it there?
00:54:07It's the season now.
00:54:10It's going to be a storm soon.
00:54:14It's time to go out.
00:54:16It's time to go out.
00:54:18It's going to be a storm soon.
00:54:22It's going to be a storm soon.
00:54:36Mother.
00:54:38Good morning.
00:54:40Good morning.
00:55:09I'm going to be late.
00:55:11I'm going to be late.
00:55:17Akira.
00:55:19Yes?
00:55:20Did you not sleep last night?
00:55:22I slept.
00:55:24I woke up in the middle of the night.
00:55:26I woke up in the middle of the night.
00:55:27Then I...
00:55:28Then I...
00:55:29Your mind is a little dizzy.
00:55:31My mind is a little dizzy.
00:55:32A little.
00:55:33It can't be helped.
00:55:35It can't be helped.
00:55:37Did you wash your face?
00:55:38Not yet.
00:55:39Shoko.
00:55:40Yes?
00:55:42Go wash your face.
00:55:44It's almost time for dinner.
00:56:07It's almost time for dinner.
00:56:37It's almost time for dinner.
00:57:07It's almost time for dinner.
00:57:37Akira, what's wrong?
00:58:07Akira.
00:58:26What's wrong?
00:58:29Go back to your room!
00:58:37Go back to your room!
00:58:42Go back to your room!
00:58:56I'll be right back.
00:59:07I'll be right back.
00:59:29Me too.
00:59:30Me too.
00:59:32I'm sorry.
00:59:33I'm sorry.
00:59:34Akira just got here.
00:59:36Akira just got here.
00:59:37Go to Akira.
01:00:01I just went to the hospital.
01:00:07You can be a station celebrity now.
01:00:09You can be a station celebrity now.
01:00:11You don't need to call me out this way.
01:00:14I'm sorry.
01:00:15I'm sorry.
01:00:18It's a good opportunity.
01:00:20That's all I'm going to say...
01:00:24You don't have to tell me...
01:00:26Why do I NOT have to be a good child?
01:00:28Why do I NOT have to be a good child?
01:00:30It's just natural.
01:00:32It's just natural.
01:00:34There are rules in this house, so you have to follow them.
01:00:40You'll get used to it.
01:00:42Yes.
01:00:45You know what your uncle did, don't you?
01:00:52I won't say anything. That's all.
01:01:04There are rules in this house, so you have to follow them.
01:01:26What's up?
01:01:29It's still rough, but there are five or six cows with broken legs.
01:01:37You have to get rid of them.
01:01:39Yes.
01:01:42I'll apologize to Mr. Casper later.
01:01:46You have to pay for them.
01:01:49Of course.
01:01:52You have to pay for Scott's hospital bill.
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:59You just got out of debt.
01:02:02You have to pay for the farm.
01:02:08What should I do?
01:02:26Let's read the first prize.
01:02:39Mr. Akira Hanada.
01:02:43You did very well in the sports meet.
01:02:49Here you are.
01:02:56Mr. Akira, you did very well in the sports meet.
01:03:00Mom, thank you.
01:03:02Don't mention it.
01:03:04I'm counting on you.
01:03:06Leave it to me.
01:03:09I'm counting on you.
01:03:21Are you a referee?
01:03:25No, I'm not.
01:03:27Are you a referee?
01:03:30You're not, either.
01:03:33Do you want to go to the river?
01:03:36The river?
01:03:37Yes, there's a beautiful river nearby.
01:03:40It's called the Steelhead River.
01:03:43Do you want to go there?
01:03:48You don't have to worry.
01:03:51Scott's not that kind of guy.
01:03:54He's a good guy.
01:03:57I'll take care of him.
01:04:11Yes, that's right.
01:04:17Oh, Mr. Nakajo.
01:04:20Is Mr. Akira all right?
01:04:22I was going to call him yesterday.
01:04:24I thought he might be asleep.
01:04:27Oh, I see.
01:04:29Is he all right?
01:04:32Yes, he's all right.
01:04:35He's been here since yesterday.
01:04:37He's been here since Mr. Kamimachi was here.
01:04:40Honey, honey.
01:04:42You don't have to explain.
01:04:44Mr. Nakajo, international calls are expensive.
01:04:46I know, I know.
01:04:49Is it a video call?
01:04:50No, it's not.
01:04:51Akira, Akira.
01:04:54Akira, Akira.
01:04:58It's for you.
01:05:00For me?
01:05:01Tokyo's Minako.
01:05:03Hurry up.
01:05:15Hello?
01:05:17Hello, Akira.
01:05:21Sister.
01:05:23I heard you arrived safely.
01:05:25How are you?
01:05:27Are you doing well?
01:05:28Yes, I'm fine.
01:05:31Has anything changed?
01:05:35Akira, did something happen?
01:05:41Akira, what's wrong?
01:05:46It's nothing. I'm fine.
01:05:50Really? Are you really all right?
01:05:54Yes, I'm fine.
01:05:56You don't have to worry.
01:05:58That's good.
01:06:00Anyway, do your best.
01:06:02I'll do my best, too.
01:06:04Okay.
01:06:06I don't want to waste your phone bill, so I'll give you this.
01:06:10Sister.
01:06:12What is it?
01:06:13The letter, Tokidoki.
01:06:17I know. You too.
01:06:20And don't forget to write your diary.
01:06:25I'll write it so I don't forget.
01:06:28Bye.
01:06:32Take care, Akira.
01:06:36You too.
01:06:48Hello?
01:06:51How did it go?
01:06:55I see.
01:06:59I see.
01:07:02I understand.
01:07:05Okay, bye.
01:07:09What did she say?
01:07:12She's fine.
01:07:15She'll be hospitalized,
01:07:18but her life is not in danger.
01:07:22That's good.
01:07:29I'm sorry, but I have to go.
01:07:31Bye.
01:07:33See you next week.
01:07:42Dad.
01:07:44Mom.
01:07:46Please protect Akira.
01:07:53Mom.
01:07:57Dad.
01:08:01It was my fault.
01:08:03I'm sorry.
01:08:05I want to pay you for the cattle.
01:08:07Don't worry about that.
01:08:10Kiyoko was just here.
01:08:12I told her we can eat the ones that got hurt.
01:08:15Don't worry.
01:08:17We're covered by insurance.
01:08:19And if they give us any trouble at all,
01:08:22we'll remind them where beefsteak comes from.
01:08:25Throw a little scare into them.
01:08:28Mr. Kaspar, thank you very much.
01:08:49Bye.
01:09:09Welcome home.
01:09:10Akira.
01:09:11This is my room.
01:09:14Hey.
01:09:17I'm sure you know what you're doing.
01:09:27That's good.
01:09:31I know.
01:09:47Come in.
01:10:17Come in.
01:10:44Listen.
01:10:46This is your house.
01:10:51But it's not Japan.
01:11:16From Oregon to Tokyo.
01:11:20Oregon is a big city.
01:11:25There aren't many houses around my uncle's house.
01:11:29It's just a farm and a farm.
01:11:33You can't go anywhere without a car.
01:11:36You can go to the house next door by car.
01:11:39You can take a school bus to school.
01:11:43I saw a rattlesnake for the first time the other day.
01:11:48It was really scary.
01:11:50But there are wild boars and deers.
01:11:54They're so cute.
01:11:56I'm fine with cows.
01:11:58I even got on a horse.
01:12:02The scenery of Oregon is very big.
01:12:05There's always snow on the top of the mountain.
01:12:14I'm a little lonely.
01:12:18But we'll live together again soon.
01:12:23I'll do my best.
01:12:26I promise you.
01:12:43Why do I have to do this?
01:12:48No, I don't want to.
01:12:53I'll do anything.
01:12:58So please don't let me go.
01:13:03Choro!
01:13:13Choro!
