Tamahiko Shima : Pessimist: |
(0:00:08.09) |
Tamahiko Shima : One who is distressed about the world, despondent about one's life, |
(0:00:10.09) |
Tamahiko Shima : and single-mindedly discouraged about the future. |
(0:00:13.59) |
Tamahiko Shima : That describes people like me to a T. |
(0:00:17.14) |
Tamahiko Shima : Though born into a family of means, |
(0:00:22.52) |
Tamahiko Shima : I grew up without a single drop of love from my family. |
(0:00:26.06) |
Tamahiko Shima : The coup de grâce? |
(0:00:31.32) |
Tamahiko Shima : I was in an accident--and lost everything. |
(0:00:34.15) |
Tamahiko Shima : My mother, |
(0:00:38.16) |
Tamahiko Shima : the use of my right hand, |
(0:00:39.87) |
Tamahiko Shima : and |
(0:00:41.62) |
Tamahiko Shima : my father's expectations. |
(0:00:43.41) |
Tamayoshi Shima : You would
have to ruin your dominant hand. |
(0:00:45.75) |
Tamayoshi Shima : A good-for-nothing has no place in the Shima family. |
(0:00:48.92) |
Tamayoshi Shima : Get out of my sight. |
(0:00:51.71) |
Tamahiko Shima : I was sent off to our villa in the mountains of Chiba. |
(0:00:56.47) |
Tamahiko Shima : As though I were a nuisance just being alive, |
(0:01:02.97) |
Tamahiko Shima : and I should die, alone. |
(0:01:06.48) |
Tamahiko Shima : Yes: this is my final dwelling. |
(0:01:09.77) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ In the moonless sky I see them ♬ |
(0:01:24.41) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ Tiny lights that twinkle so ♬ |
(0:01:30.59) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ There, in those starry shadows ♬ |
(0:01:36.72) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ See the shape of hope aglow ♬ |
(0:01:45.06) |
Tamahiko Shima : My life has ended after 17 years. |
(0:01:52.69) |
Tamahiko Shima : I see nothing--no light to illuminate my way forward. |
(0:01:58.03) |
Tamahiko Shima : There's nothing... nothing. |
(0:02:02.53) |
Tamahiko Shima : How much easier it would be if I simply never woke up... |
(0:02:07.08) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Begging your pardon! |
(0:02:13.80) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Good evening! |
(0:02:17.09) |
Tamahiko Shima : Who could it be, deep in these mountains on a snowy night? |
(0:02:23.89) |
Tamahiko Shima : And you are? |
(0:02:33.15) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : A pleasure to meet you, Tamahiko-sama. |
(0:02:35.82) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : My name is Yuzuki. |
(0:02:38.74) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I've come here to be your bride, Tamahiko-sama. |
(0:02:42.78) |
Tamahiko Shima : Come to think of it, my father did mention something that day... |
(0:04:30.52) |
Tamayoshi Shima : There's no one in the Shima family able to care for you now. |
(0:04:35.81) |
Tamayoshi Shima : I suppose I have no choice. |
(0:04:40.32) |
Tamayoshi Shima : I'll buy you a bride or something to look after you. |
(0:04:41.90) |
Tamahiko Shima : That's my father. |
(0:04:46.91) |
Tamahiko Shima : Most likely this girl was being sold to cover a debt. |
(0:04:49.49) |
Tamahiko Shima : Don't want to catch a cold. |
(0:04:58.84) |
Tamahiko Shima : But why send a bride to a dead man walking? |
(0:05:03.92) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Um... |
(0:05:08.76) |
Tamahiko Shima : You may use this room as you wish. |
(0:05:12.10) |
Tamahiko Shima : It's entirely pointless. |
(0:05:17.56) |
Tamahiko Shima : Another day begins without a wink of sleep. |
(0:05:27.32) |
Tamahiko Shima : Wh-What are you doing?! |
(0:05:37.29) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Oh! Good morning, Tamahiko-sama! |
(0:05:39.38) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : And what a lovely morning it is! |
(0:05:42.42) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Look: last night's snow has already begun to melt. |
(0:05:44.42) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Will you wash your face? |
(0:05:52.64) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'll help! |
(0:05:55.73) |
Tamahiko Shima : I can do it myself. |
(0:05:56.94) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I want to be helpful! Please let me take care of you. |
(0:05:58.40) |
Tamahiko Shima : Well, yes, but... |
(0:06:03.48) |
Tamahiko Shima : Y-You don't have to dry me off! |
(0:06:09.45) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Oh, Tamahiko-sama! |
(0:06:10.95) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Such dark circles. Are you having trouble sleeping at night? |
(0:06:15.00) |
Tamahiko Shima : Not... |
(0:06:18.71) |
Tamahiko Shima : Not particularly. And it's no concern of yours. |
(0:06:20.79) |
Tamahiko Shima : Please, let me be. |
(0:06:24.00) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I've made breakfast... |
(0:06:27.51) |
Tamahiko Shima : I'm not hungry. |
(0:06:30.05) |
Tamahiko Shima : And every day'll be like this? |
(0:06:33.51) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Pardon me! |
(0:06:37.06) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'll just do some cleaning. |
(0:06:38.18) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I've been shopping in town! |
(0:06:53.12) |
Tamahiko Shima : You certainly are strong... |
(0:06:55.83) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : A nice big serving! Eat up! |
(0:06:59.83) |
Tamahiko Shima : Impossible. |
(0:07:01.92) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Tamahiko-sama! |
(0:07:04.42) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : There was a hole, but I patched it for you! |
(0:07:06.80) |
Tamahiko Shima : My long johns! |
(0:07:11.05) |
Tamahiko Shima : You just go around mending men's underwear? |
(0:07:13.64) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Underwear?! |
(0:07:18.43) |
Tamahiko Shima : It's a little late to be so scandalized. |
(0:07:20.31) |
Tamahiko Shima : I've been all out of sorts ever since that girl showed up. |
(0:07:23.44) |
Tamahiko Shima : Here I thought I'd slowly rot away in obscurity. |
(0:07:28.40) |
Tamahiko Shima : How irritating. |
(0:07:32.49) |
Tamahiko Shima : Don't even have time... to get lost... in thought. |
(0:07:34.99) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'm coming in! |
(0:07:39.00) |
Tamahiko Shima : What?! |
(0:07:40.75) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'll rinse your back! |
(0:07:41.87) |
Tamahiko Shima : Pl-Please don't trouble yourself! |
(0:07:45.46) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Oh, I will. |
(0:07:47.50) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : It must be hard to do one-handed. |
(0:07:48.71) |
Tamahiko Shima : What gives? |
(0:07:56.30) |
Tamahiko Shima : What is
this girl thinking? |
(0:07:58.14) |
Tamahiko Shima : Given her speech and mannerisms, |
(0:08:01.52) |
Tamahiko Shima : she was likely a pampered-princess type. |
(0:08:05.06) |
Tamahiko Shima : An innocent girl who knows little of the world. |
(0:08:08.02) |
Tamahiko Shima : I bet you haven't a single worry to speak of. |
(0:08:13.66) |
Tamahiko Shima : --Why, that's awful! --Eh? |
(0:08:16.62) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : --Why, that's awful! --Eh? |
(0:08:16.62) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I certainly do
have a worry. |
(0:08:18.49) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Two of them, in fact! |
(0:08:20.37) |
Tamahiko Shima : Is that all? |
(0:08:24.87) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : But to me, both of them are big worries. |
(0:08:26.63) |
Tamahiko Shima : That's right--she was sold to pay off a debt. |
(0:08:32.72) |
Tamahiko Shima : The unspeakable agony of coming into the world... |
(0:08:37.18) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : One of them... |
(0:08:41.52) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ...is my hair--I have so much, and it's so wavy! |
(0:08:47.90) |
Tamahiko Shima : Huh? |
(0:08:52.24) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I know--it's weird! And it's way too fluffy! |
(0:08:54.07) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'd love to have shiny, straight hair, but nothing works! |
(0:08:56.74) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : All I can do is braid it! |
(0:09:00.04) |
Tamahiko Shima : That's... your worry? |
(0:09:02.41) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I can't believe I showed you! |
(0:09:06.42) |
Tamahiko Shima : Sorry. |
(0:09:19.39) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : So that's
what you look like when you laugh. |
(0:09:21.39) |
Tamahiko Shima : Huh? |
(0:09:24.27) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : If it made you smile, Tamahiko-sama... |
(0:09:26.02) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I think I'm starting to warm up to this hair. |
(0:09:28.77) |
Tamahiko Shima : Enough. Leave me in peace! |
(0:09:35.95) |
Tamahiko Shima : She's on my last nerve. |
(0:09:41.99) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : This monaka
sweet is delicious! |
(0:09:54.55) |
Machiko : Try these, too. |
(0:09:57.05) |
Keiko : And these--they're tasty! |
(0:09:58.59) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Are you sure? I'm always eating everyone else's treats... |
(0:10:01.01) |
Midori : It's perfectly fine. |
(0:10:06.31) |
Midori : After all, Yuzuki, when you're on meal duty, |
(0:10:08.06) |
Midori : we always eat more than usual! |
(0:10:10.31) |
Keiko : It's a sin to make a maiden eat even one bite more! |
(0:10:12.90) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Th-Then I'll just have to atone for my sins! |
(0:10:17.40) |
Midori : Very good. |
(0:10:21.66) |
Akiko : Yuzuki! I fell! |
(0:10:23.70) |
Akiko : And see this here? It's all torn! |
(0:10:26.00) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : All right. |
(0:10:28.87) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Let's sew that right up. |
(0:10:30.38) |
Midori : She's such a mom. |
(0:10:40.64) |
Machiko : She really is. |
(0:10:42.64) |
Akiko : Thanks, Yuzuki! |
(0:10:45.47) |
Akiko : You really will make a wonderful bride someday! |
(0:10:47.10) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : A bride... |
(0:10:50.48) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Actually, there's something I need to tell you all... |
(0:10:54.02) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I... I'm leaving the girls' school. |
(0:11:00.20) |
Midori : But why? This is all so sudden! |
(0:11:05.45) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : It's embarrassing to talk about... |
(0:11:08.00) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : but my parents are deep in debt, |
(0:11:10.71) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : so I'm to be married to their lender's son. |
(0:11:13.63) |
Machiko : No! |
(0:11:17.84) |
Keiko : B-But women can't marry until they're 15! |
(0:11:19.88) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Right. |
(0:11:25.18) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : But certain circumstances mean I'll be leaving to take care of him. |
(0:11:26.77) |
Midori : Yuzuki... |
(0:11:32.31) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : No matter what he's like, no matter what his circumstances, |
(0:11:34.56) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'll just do my best and be with him for always. |
(0:11:38.49) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : After all, he's my dearest husband. |
(0:11:43.53) |
Midori : It's all right. |
(0:11:50.50) |
Midori : I know you can do it, no matter who you'll be marrying. |
(0:11:51.96) |
Midori : I mean, you work twice as hard as anyone else! |
(0:11:57.25) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Midori... |
(0:12:01.72) |
Midori : You must... you must... |
(0:12:05.39) |
Midori : ...be happy! |
(0:12:08.68) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I will! |
(0:12:10.48) |
Tamahiko Shima : The New Year's Eve bell... |
(0:12:31.71) |
Tamahiko Shima : So it's the dawn of another year. |
(0:12:34.00) |
Tamahiko Shima : A new year, and my life is the same as ever. |
(0:12:39.05) |
Tamahiko Shima : I can't sleep. |
(0:12:50.72) |
Tamahiko Shima : All these thoughts running through my head... |
(0:13:11.49) |
Tamayoshi Shima : Get out of my sight. |
(0:13:15.17) |
Tamaki Shima : Your dominant hand? You've failed as the second Shima son. |
(0:13:18.29) |
Tamayo Shima : Aren't you
fancy, retiring at such an early age. |
(0:13:21.59) |
Tamao Shima : You
should have died instead of Mother! |
(0:13:26.13) |
Tamako Shima : I couldn't care less if you went away. |
(0:13:30.47) |
Tamako Shima : Farewell, useless good-for-nothing brother of mine. |
(0:13:34.27) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : May I stay up with you? |
(0:14:10.10) |
Tamahiko Shima : What's she thinking? |
(0:14:14.56) |
Tamahiko Shima : As you like. |
(0:14:17.23) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Hooray! |
(0:14:19.19) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Oh--I know! |
(0:14:20.40) |
Tamahiko Shima : The girl's a bother, too. |
(0:14:24.73) |
Tamahiko Shima : If she were just a maid, I'd give her the day off and send her out. |
(0:14:27.53) |
Tamahiko Shima : Don't you hate it? |
(0:14:37.12) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : What's that? |
(0:14:38.75) |
Tamahiko Shima : Being chased deep into the mountains here |
(0:14:40.38) |
Tamahiko Shima : and given as a bride to a man like me. |
(0:14:42.67) |
Tamahiko Shima : Of course you do. |
(0:14:46.88) |
Tamahiko Shima : Of course
you'd hate it. |
(0:14:48.88) |
Tamahiko Shima : A pessimist recluse like me with no future-- |
(0:14:51.26) |
Tamahiko Shima : it must be torture simply to live under the same roof! |
(0:14:54.68) |
Tamahiko Shima : You must be cursing your own misfortune! |
(0:14:57.27) |
Tamahiko Shima : Come now, don't hold back-- tell me how you really
feel! |
(0:14:59.39) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Here. It's ready. |
(0:15:11.11) |
Tamahiko Shima : What is it? |
(0:15:14.58) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : It's delicious. |
(0:15:16.41) |
Tamahiko Shima : It's sweet... and warm. |
(0:15:25.34) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I warmed up some milk and added sugar. |
(0:15:28.47) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Back in the dorms at the girls' school, |
(0:15:38.18) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : we'd often stay up late drinking this. |
(0:15:40.73) |
Tamahiko Shima : School? |
(0:15:44.94) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : We'd chat about silly things, sing songs... |
(0:15:47.69) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ In the moonless sky I see them ♬ |
(0:15:53.53) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ♬ Tiny lights that twinkle so ♬ |
(0:15:59.79) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : --♬ There, in those starry shadows ♬ |
(0:16:05.50) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : --This song... --♬ There, in those starry shadows ♬ |
(0:16:09.34) |
Tamahiko Shima : --This song... --♬ There, in those starry shadows ♬ |
(0:16:09.34) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : --♬ See the shape of hope aglow ♬ |
(0:16:11.09) |
Tamahiko Shima : --My mother often sang that to my little sister, long ago. --♬ See the shape of hope aglow ♬ |
(0:16:14.47) |
Touko Shima : --My mother often sang that to my little sister, long ago. --♬ Since our knowledge knows no limits ♬ |
(0:16:16.97) |
Touko Shima : --♬ Since our knowledge knows no limits ♬ |
(0:16:18.47) |
Touko Shima : ♬ On some far-off day to come ♬ |
(0:16:22.89) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : What fun we had... |
(0:16:29.94) |
Tamahiko Shima : I no longer think of going back to school. |
(0:16:34.86) |
Tamahiko Shima : Think of all the hardships I'd encounter |
(0:16:38.45) |
Tamahiko Shima : with this right hand of mine. |
(0:16:41.25) |
Tamahiko Shima : I'm just... I'm fed up. |
(0:16:43.54) |
Tamahiko Shima : Fed up with being unneeded... |
(0:16:47.09) |
Tamahiko Shima : Fed up with being hurt... |
(0:16:49.67) |
Tamahiko Shima : With every nightfall, I think: |
(0:16:53.59) |
Tamahiko Shima : "I don't want to wake up." |
(0:16:56.47) |
Tamahiko Shima : No one would even mourn my death. |
(0:16:59.01) |
Tamahiko Shima : But... |
(0:17:04.64) |
Tamahiko Shima : ...the more I think about it, the less I can sleep. |
(0:17:06.10) |
Tamahiko Shima : Why are you so kind to me? |
(0:17:30.75) |
Tamahiko Shima : Not even my own family... not one of them... |
(0:17:36.84) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : When your father bought me for 10,000 yen... |
(0:17:43.73) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : ...I said I wasn't afraid to be the wife of a man I'd never met. |
(0:17:48.86) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : That was a lie. |
(0:17:53.86) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : But the first time I met you... |
(0:17:56.82) |
Tamahiko Shima : Your coat goes there. |
(0:18:00.49) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : R-Right. |
(0:18:02.12) |
Tamahiko Shima : You must have walked a long way. |
(0:18:03.70) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : A-About 30 chō
... or so. |
(0:18:06.00) |
Tamahiko Shima : Don't want to catch a cold. |
(0:18:13.09) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : He's so kind, and has such integrity. |
(0:18:16.05) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I'm sure he'll cherish me. |
(0:18:20.10) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : So, I thought, I'll cherish him
, too, and be kind to him. |
(0:18:25.35) |
Tamahiko Shima : Wha--Wh-Wh-- |
(0:18:31.94) |
Tamahiko Shima : What's your rationale for that?! |
(0:18:34.23) |
Tamahiko Shima : Do you always
take people at their word? |
(0:18:36.53) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Oh, Tamahiko-sama! Might we sleep together? |
(0:18:38.86) |
Tamahiko Shima : Huh?! |
(0:18:41.87) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Just for tonight-- it's our first New Year holiday. |
(0:18:43.24) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Let's greet the first morning of the new year together! |
(0:18:46.83) |
Tamahiko Shima : Greet the morning--together? |
(0:18:50.25) |
Tamahiko Shima : What--how--what--how is this happening?! |
(0:18:55.71) |
Tamahiko Shima : Wh-Wh-What do I do? |
(0:19:01.64) |
Tamahiko Shima : I-it's my first time-- what am I supposed to d-d-d-do? |
(0:19:03.18) |
Tamahiko Shima : I haven't the foggiest idea! |
(0:19:08.18) |
Tamahiko Shima : Ah! That's right! |
(0:19:10.44) |
Tamahiko Shima : I-It's around here somewhere... |
(0:19:12.44) |
Tamahiko Shima : T-Terrifying! |
(0:19:18.95) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Pardon me! |
(0:19:21.32) |
Tamahiko Shima : Huh? Separate futons? |
(0:19:23.41) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Good night! |
(0:19:26.66) |
Tamahiko Shima : "Sleep together"... "sleep together"... |
(0:19:30.87) |
Tamahiko Shima : She really did
mean "sleep... together
"! |
(0:19:35.55) |
Tamahiko Shima : I-I knew that. |
(0:19:40.93) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Would you have preferred we share one futon? |
(0:19:48.68) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : We mustn't! I'm still a virgin who's never even been in love yet! |
(0:19:52.02) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : That will have to wait until we're married. |
(0:19:56.73) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : But... |
(0:20:02.20) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I will
save myself for you, Tamahiko-sama. |
(0:20:03.82) |
Tamahiko Shima : You... |
(0:20:08.24) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Please, call me Yuzu. |
(0:20:09.70) |
Tamahiko Shima : You would give your chastity to a man you don't even love? |
(0:20:14.17) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I... |
(0:20:19.59) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : I want to be at your side to see all the different Tamahiko-samas. |
(0:20:22.80) |

(0:20:33.23) |
Tamahiko Shima : What on earth...? |
(0:20:38.78) |
Tamahiko Shima : I... I can't sleep. |
(0:20:54.37) |

(0:21:13.39) |

(0:21:17.69) |
Tamahiko Shima : What's this? |
(0:21:22.53) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Hittsumi
dumpling soup. I thought you'd get tired of New Year's dishes. |
(0:21:24.57) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Is it good? |
(0:21:38.84) |
Tamahiko Shima : She really is one annoying girl. |
(0:21:41.55) |

(0:21:44.84) |
Tamahiko Shima : Can... can I get seconds? |
(0:21:49.18) |
Yuzuki Tachibana : Sure! |
(0:21:51.26) |
Tamahiko Shima : I'm a pessimist who hates all this world has to offer! |
(0:21:53.22) |

unlikely. |
(0:21:57.02) |

(0:22:01.94) |
