Rentaro Taki...

4
00:01:32,305 --> 00:01:36,935
I'll always remember
when we first met.

5
00:01:38,311 --> 00:01:41,906
He suddenly appeared
in the piano room at

6
00:01:41,915 --> 00:01:45,942
Music School in Ueno
soon after enrolling.

7
00:02:01,735 --> 00:02:05,364
So this is it... a piano.

8
00:02:06,773 --> 00:02:09,173
We only had an
organ in Takeda.

9
00:02:09,176 --> 00:02:11,542
I've never seen a piano.

10
00:02:12,379 --> 00:02:13,812
Excuse me.

11
00:02:33,567 --> 00:02:34,727
I see.

12
00:02:36,570 --> 00:02:40,734
One day during the
summer of 1895

13
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:45,609
was the first time
I saw him.

14
00:02:45,612 --> 00:02:49,480
I was a witness when the
prominent musician, Taki,

15
00:02:49,483 --> 00:02:51,542
first encountered the piano.

Yuki, play it.

33
00:03:55,282 --> 00:03:56,408
Yes, sir.

34
00:04:16,269 --> 00:04:17,702
Excuse me...

35
00:04:18,305 --> 00:04:20,432
Would you mind a freshman?

36
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,429
Enter.

37
00:04:28,114 --> 00:04:29,979
Yuki, continue.

38
00:04:37,991 --> 00:04:39,356
Who is she?

39
00:04:46,866 --> 00:04:48,493
She's great.

40
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:50,502
Who is she?

41
00:04:51,338 --> 00:04:54,034
Yuki Nakano of
the Koda family.

42
00:04:55,241 --> 00:04:57,709
She's the niece of
Professor Nobu Koda

43
00:04:57,711 --> 00:05:02,080
who is now in Europe and Rohan,
who wrote ''Five Story Pagoda.''

44
00:05:02,882 --> 00:05:05,043
Hmmm..
What is this music?

45
00:05:15,595 --> 00:05:20,897
Beethoven's harmony is clear,
yet the effect is very strong...

46
00:05:22,702 --> 00:05:24,067
Keep quiet.

47
00:05:38,685 --> 00:05:40,050
Thank you.

48
00:05:49,529 --> 00:05:54,432
Another unexpected encounter
which continued.

49
00:05:54,434 --> 00:06:01,135
Each of our encounters became
an important memory a few years later...

50
00:06:07,814 --> 00:06:10,408
Mr. Suzuki, I'm Taki.

51
00:06:10,417 --> 00:06:12,078
A freshman.

52
00:06:12,085 --> 00:06:13,916
Let's go together.

53
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,447
Do you have time to
talk more about music?

54
00:06:18,091 --> 00:06:20,355
I'm going to a choir group.

55
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,626
To Sarugaku in Kanda, to teach
basic music to the kids.

56
00:06:24,631 --> 00:06:25,791
Really.

57
00:06:25,799 --> 00:06:28,632
Before enrolling, I studied
for six months with the

58
00:06:28,635 --> 00:06:31,468
Shiba Choir Group with
Professor Koyama.

59
00:06:31,471 --> 00:06:32,961
Where is Sarugaku?

60
00:06:32,972 --> 00:06:35,304
To the right of the gate.

61
00:06:35,308 --> 00:06:37,208
It's the opposite direction.

62
00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:39,644
I'm going to Erishin
in Hirokoji.

63
00:06:39,646 --> 00:06:42,080
It's a collar-shop for women.

64
00:06:42,082 --> 00:06:45,245
My mother asked me
to buy a half-collar.

65
00:06:45,952 --> 00:06:48,011
I'm from Takeda in Oita.

66
00:06:48,021 --> 00:06:51,980
Now I'm staying with my
cousins in Hongo Nishikata.

67
00:06:51,991 --> 00:06:53,618
What about you?

68
00:06:53,626 --> 00:06:56,493
I'm from Kakegawa, Shizuoka.

69
00:06:57,497 --> 00:07:00,898
Mr. Suzuki, I'm coming with you.

70
00:07:01,568 --> 00:07:03,365
I'll do my errands tomorrow.

71
00:07:15,482 --> 00:07:16,676
Ready?

72
00:07:18,251 --> 00:07:22,017
''The waterwheel turns

73
00:07:22,021 --> 00:07:27,482
''The waterflows

74
00:07:27,494 --> 00:07:31,055
''We take a rest

75
00:07:31,064 --> 00:07:35,433
''but they neverstop.''

76
00:07:37,971 --> 00:07:39,666
Mr. Aihara.

77
00:07:39,672 --> 00:07:42,232
Lend me three more yen.

78
00:07:42,242 --> 00:07:45,678
No. You still owe me
money, Mr. Sakaguchi.

79
00:07:45,678 --> 00:07:48,374
Pay me back, then
I'll lend it to you.

80
00:07:49,816 --> 00:07:52,182
You should draw
ads for bars.

81
00:07:52,185 --> 00:07:54,050
How much money?

82
00:07:54,053 --> 00:07:56,647
Sakaguchi, will you draw it?

83
00:07:56,656 --> 00:08:01,059
No, I won't be deceived
by Mephistopheles.

84
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:03,119
Lend me only two yen.

85
00:08:03,129 --> 00:08:04,460
No.

86
00:08:06,166 --> 00:08:07,656
Mr. Suzuki.

87
00:08:08,601 --> 00:08:10,762
Thank you so much.

88
00:08:14,641 --> 00:08:16,871
Your pay for this month.

89
00:08:16,876 --> 00:08:18,173
Thank you.

90
00:08:19,245 --> 00:08:21,941
Minus your debt
of 2.5 yen.

91
00:08:22,982 --> 00:08:26,349
Sakaguchi... see...
Don't count on me.

92
00:08:28,054 --> 00:08:30,579
He's a freshman, Taki.

93
00:08:30,590 --> 00:08:32,820
A student at Fine Arts School.

94
00:08:32,859 --> 00:08:35,794
He's Sakaguchi.
I live with him.

95
00:08:35,795 --> 00:08:37,023
I'm Taki.

96
00:08:41,234 --> 00:08:43,566
You drink fast
fora novice.

97
00:08:44,137 --> 00:08:46,503
Most Kyushu men
are strong drinkers.

98
00:08:46,539 --> 00:08:48,769
It tastes awful.

99
00:08:48,775 --> 00:08:51,073
Yeah... awful...

100
00:08:52,579 --> 00:08:55,605
Who do you admire most?

101
00:08:57,450 --> 00:08:59,077
Well...

102
00:08:59,085 --> 00:09:01,781
You had notes on Beethoven.

103
00:09:01,788 --> 00:09:03,551
Do you like him?

104
00:09:03,556 --> 00:09:06,787
Yes. Beethoven represents
German music.

105
00:09:08,962 --> 00:09:11,658
European music after
the 18th century is

106
00:09:11,664 --> 00:09:14,792
representative of architectural
forms of music.

107
00:09:14,801 --> 00:09:16,792
He is typical.

108
00:09:16,803 --> 00:09:19,636
Architectural forms in music...

109
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,369
Can you apply such
concepts to music?

110
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:24,741
What do you mean?

111
00:09:24,744 --> 00:09:27,645
The method to deal
with the subject.

112
00:09:27,647 --> 00:09:32,243
Theoretically perfect, yet
strong effects are generated.

113
00:09:32,252 --> 00:09:35,619
Haydn is skilful but
Beethoven is more intense.

114
00:09:36,322 --> 00:09:39,485
From the score we can
imagine a symphony.

115
00:09:39,492 --> 00:09:41,323
They're truly wonderful.

116
00:09:41,327 --> 00:09:43,352
What about you?

117
00:09:43,563 --> 00:09:46,293
I'm interested in Schumann.

118
00:09:46,299 --> 00:09:48,529
I see... Schumann...?

119
00:09:49,035 --> 00:09:51,196
I find his life fascinating.

120
00:09:51,838 --> 00:09:54,864
He started as a pianist
late in life...

121
00:09:54,874 --> 00:09:56,501
Like me.

122
00:09:57,877 --> 00:10:01,472
He strained and ruined
his third finger.

123
00:10:01,481 --> 00:10:04,041
He was through
as a pianist.

124
00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:06,951
Then, he focused
on composing.

125
00:10:06,953 --> 00:10:10,821
Must one study piano
from childhood?

126
00:10:11,324 --> 00:10:12,484
Yeah.

127
00:10:12,492 --> 00:10:14,426
Here they are!

128
00:10:15,161 --> 00:10:17,095
Charge it to this table!

129
00:10:17,797 --> 00:10:20,357
Suzuki, why don't you
buy us drinks?

130
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,367
They found us.

131
00:10:22,368 --> 00:10:24,529
Waitress, bring us five more.

132
00:10:24,537 --> 00:10:25,629
Shut up.

133
00:10:25,638 --> 00:10:27,401
You students supported
by parents...

134
00:10:27,407 --> 00:10:29,341
How can you drink sake!

135
00:10:29,876 --> 00:10:31,036
Shut up!

136
00:10:32,512 --> 00:10:34,412
What? Idiot!

137
00:10:34,714 --> 00:10:37,182
Sakaguchi, sit down, okay...

138
00:10:38,318 --> 00:10:40,377
Okay, drink!

139
00:10:44,857 --> 00:10:49,851
Mr. Suzuki, must one study
piano from childhood?

140
00:10:49,862 --> 00:10:52,831
You're still talking
about music even here.

141
00:10:52,832 --> 00:10:54,527
It's all right.

142
00:10:54,534 --> 00:10:56,195
I think so.

143
00:10:56,202 --> 00:11:00,468
Yuki Nakano has been with
Professor Mason since childhood.

144
00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:02,940
He indoctrinated
her with Biehl.

145
00:11:02,942 --> 00:11:04,432
Prodigy instruction.

146
00:11:05,011 --> 00:11:06,410
Here you are.

147
00:11:06,412 --> 00:11:08,403
Oh it's here!!

148
00:11:08,915 --> 00:11:10,348
Pass it to us!

149
00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:11,578
Another order?

150
00:11:11,584 --> 00:11:13,779
No, we don't need more.
Pourthe sake.

151
00:11:13,820 --> 00:11:15,185
Do it yourself.

152
00:11:16,889 --> 00:11:18,288
Let's toast!

153
00:11:18,958 --> 00:11:21,085
Hey, keep quiet!

154
00:11:21,861 --> 00:11:23,089
What!

155
00:11:23,596 --> 00:11:25,086
What's that!

156
00:11:25,098 --> 00:11:27,862
You call that music!
It's nonsense.

157
00:11:28,301 --> 00:11:29,461
What!

158
00:11:34,073 --> 00:11:36,200
Mr. Suzuki, stop it!

159
00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:39,271
Mr. Suzuki!

160
00:11:45,251 --> 00:11:46,946
Please stop.

161
00:12:01,534 --> 00:12:04,264
Taki, let's get
out ofhere.

162
00:12:13,312 --> 00:12:14,973
What about Mr. Sakaguchi?

163
00:12:14,981

 --> 00:12:17,449
Never mind. They like to fight.

164
00:12:18,151 --> 00:12:20,984
Mr. Suzuki, I want
to be a pianist.

165
00:12:21,421 --> 00:12:24,219
Really?

166
00:12:24,223 --> 00:12:25,417
I will be.

167
00:12:26,526 --> 00:12:27,686
I've made up my mind.

168
00:15:32,111 --> 00:15:34,807
You play Beethoven very well.

169
00:15:35,181 --> 00:15:36,978
You've improved so much.

170
00:15:36,983 --> 00:15:39,850
I'm proud of you, a former
member of the Shiba Choir.

171
00:15:41,387 --> 00:15:43,355
It's snowing outside.

172
00:15:43,356 --> 00:15:45,483
Let's finish for today.

173
00:15:45,491 --> 00:15:48,358
Yes, but I'd like to
practice a bit more.

174
00:15:48,928 --> 00:15:52,489
Well, then I'll accompany you.

175
00:15:56,702 --> 00:16:00,604
Since your father was demoted
to Naoiri country chief,

176
00:16:00,606 --> 00:16:02,403
he seems depressed.

177
00:16:03,442 --> 00:16:05,933
He has trouble with
the new governor.

178
00:16:06,646 --> 00:16:09,171
He refuses to curry favor.

179
00:16:09,849 --> 00:16:11,874
He really isn't the type.

180
00:16:11,884 --> 00:16:13,909
Sorry you had to wait.

181
00:16:14,587 --> 00:16:17,886
I have family obligations
as the successor, but

182
00:16:17,890 --> 00:16:21,519
I entered music school and
disappointed him.

183
00:16:22,028 --> 00:16:24,360
Don't worry about it now.

184
00:16:24,964 --> 00:16:27,899
Rentaro, you eat
less than before.

185
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:30,198
Quite a bit less.

186
00:16:30,202 --> 00:16:32,033
I'm worried.

187
00:16:32,038 --> 00:16:34,529
You never finish your
rice in the morning.

188
00:16:34,540 --> 00:16:36,838
You seem thinner.

189
00:16:36,842 --> 00:16:39,242
Have some. It makes
dinner more tasty.

190
00:16:39,245 --> 00:16:40,269
No...

191
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:43,612
Nothing's wrong with me.
It's okay.

192
00:16:45,551 --> 00:16:48,679
By the way, your school
makes you study so hard

193
00:16:48,688 --> 00:16:51,384
from early morning
until late at night.

194
00:16:55,328 --> 00:16:59,731
Liszt ''Consolation No. 3 in Db Major''

195
00:18:08,534 --> 00:18:10,161
Hello...

196
00:18:17,576 --> 00:18:19,009
Taki.

197
00:18:21,247 --> 00:18:23,408
Oh, I fell asleep.

198
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:26,377
Let's go out tonight.

199
00:18:28,354 --> 00:18:30,219
Thank you.

200
00:18:30,222 --> 00:18:32,713
It wasn't me...
She did it.

201
00:18:37,496 --> 00:18:40,192
I've taken up your
practice time.

202
00:18:40,199 --> 00:18:41,791
It's all right.

203
00:18:41,801 --> 00:18:43,098
Let's go.

204
00:18:43,602 --> 00:18:45,365
Here.

205
00:18:49,141 --> 00:18:50,802
Thank you very much.

206
00:18:52,711 --> 00:18:54,679
Goodbye.

207
00:19:05,891 --> 00:19:07,381
What's wrong?

208
00:19:08,494 --> 00:19:12,590
I feel like I'm imitating
Seiki Kuroda.

209
00:19:25,978 --> 00:19:28,572
Imitating is different
than being influenced.

210
00:19:28,581 --> 00:19:30,310
But mine's only
an imitation.

211
00:19:30,349 --> 00:19:32,544
You're too self-critical.

212
00:19:32,551 --> 00:19:34,610
That's why you
don't progress.

213
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:36,247
Just like Suzuki.

214
00:19:39,959 --> 00:19:42,894
You fool. I'm not
yours any more.

215
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:47,690
Who are you with
now? Suzuki?

216
00:19:48,934 --> 00:19:51,630
I belong to nobody...

217
00:20:03,148 --> 00:20:06,140
You still depend on women.
You coward.

218
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:11,548
Art can prosper only when
there is time and money.

219
00:20:11,557 --> 00:20:14,458
Teikoku Bungaku
critique says so,

220
00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:16,428
but I disagree.

221
00:20:16,962 --> 00:20:18,429
It's a fact, of course.

222
00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:22,457
If that's true, all of us
have time, but no money.

223
00:20:22,468 --> 00:20:23,901
What's wrong?

224
00:20:23,903 --> 00:20:25,734
We're failed artists.

225
00:20:26,939 --> 00:20:28,099
Mr. Taki.

226
00:20:29,074 --> 00:20:32,009
You haven't drank at all.

227
00:20:32,011 --> 00:20:34,036
Get drunk and
forget yourself.

228
00:20:34,580 --> 00:20:36,810
I drink, therefore I am.

229
00:20:36,815 --> 00:20:37,941
Let's drink!

230
00:20:46,392 --> 00:20:48,417
Drink more!

231
00:20:48,427 --> 00:20:50,486
Taki, have you ever
fallen in love?

232
00:20:50,496 --> 00:20:51,986
Have you ever made love?

233
00:20:51,997 --> 00:20:53,157
Never.

234
00:20:53,165 --> 00:20:55,030
Why not?

235
00:20:55,601 --> 00:20:59,401
Suzuki used to frequent
the red light district.

236
00:20:59,405 --> 00:21:02,033
Hasn't he asked
you to go?

237
00:21:02,041 --> 00:21:04,032
Misako, stop it.

238
00:21:04,643 --> 00:21:07,976
Even musicians are allowed
to make love to women.

239
00:21:07,980 --> 00:21:10,608
Can you play the
piano not knowing?

240
00:21:10,616 --> 00:21:12,277
Please stop it.

241
00:21:12,785 --> 00:21:14,013
Stop it!

242
00:21:14,787 --> 00:21:16,186
Stop!

243
00:21:19,358 --> 00:21:23,556
Hot hands... he must
have a fever.

244
00:21:23,562 --> 00:21:26,292
He became hot being
held by you.

245
00:21:34,607 --> 00:21:39,704
Taki, you look awful.
Are you sure you're not ill?

246
00:21:40,512 --> 00:21:43,538
You've lost so much weight.
Let's see the doctor.

247
00:21:43,582 --> 00:21:45,573
I don't want to.

248
00:21:46,619 --> 00:21:49,179
You're too intense.
You'll destroy yourself.

249
00:21:49,188 --> 00:21:51,053
I realize it.

250
00:21:51,857 --> 00:21:54,348
Why are you in such a hurry?

251
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:57,659
Why live long without
intensity?

252
00:21:57,663 --> 00:22:00,791
I started piano late.

253
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,199
I must hurry,
or never...

254
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:09,564
Let's go to the hospital...
Let's go.

255
00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:18,182
Takeda, Oita Prefecture

256
00:22:19,451 --> 00:22:21,510
Rentaro is ill.

257
00:22:23,589 --> 00:22:26,251
I've warned you.

258
00:22:26,258 --> 00:22:29,625
That's why I opposed
his going.

259
00:22:34,733 --> 00:22:38,100
Iku, Iku, bring a
towel for Father.

260
00:22:39,104 --> 00:22:40,230
Yes.

261
00:23:05,931 --> 00:23:07,262
Father.

262
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,695
Oh, thank you.

263
00:23:12,938 --> 00:23:14,667
Father...

264
00:23:15,674 --> 00:23:18,939
Let's go.

265
00:23:24,116 --> 00:23:27,176
He says it's pleura
pneumonia.

266
00:23:27,186 --> 00:23:30,644
It's almost school break.
Get him back.

267
00:23:32,124 --> 00:23:35,582
Bad air aggravates
his illness.

268
00:23:37,329 --> 00:23:40,492
It may be contagious
for the children.

269
00:23:40,499 --> 00:23:42,990
So, he can't stay here.

270
00:23:43,001 --> 00:23:46,027
So terrible for him...

271
00:23:46,038 --> 00:23:48,768
Your home town has a spa.

272
00:23:48,774 --> 00:23:51,368
Can't he find a place there?

273
00:23:51,376 --> 00:23:52,968
I'll ask.

274
00:23:53,512 --> 00:23:56,504
Anyway, take good
care of him.

275
00:23:58,317 --> 00:24:03,482
He is preoccupied by
such things as music.

276
00:24:03,489 --> 00:24:06,151
It's made his
body weaker.

277
00:24:12,498 --> 00:24:15,433
Wear this one. I made
it for you.

278
00:24:15,434 --> 00:24:18,870
Yes, Mother. This
medicine is different.

279
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:23,239
You're recovering.
That's why.

280
00:24:24,676 --> 00:24:27,543
Also, you only need to see
the doctor twice a week,

281
00:24:27,546 --> 00:24:29,673
instead of three times...

282
00:24:30,349 --> 00:24:31,680
That's good.

283
00:24:32,317 --> 00:24:34,683
You're not as pale
as you were, too.

284
00:24:34,686 --> 00:24:37,849
Of course. I was just
a little tired.

285
00:24:38,724 --> 00:24:41,192
Father must still
be angry.

286
00:24:42,861 --> 00:24:47,355
Since I was a child, I've
always gone against his wish.

287
00:24:48,033 --> 00:24:50,001
But, Rentaro...

288
00:24:50,002 --> 00:24:53,233
You've been pursuing
what you love.

289
00:24:53,238 --> 00:24:55,331
It's all right.

290
00:24:55,340 --> 00:24:58,503
I know. I have
no complaint.

291
00:24:59,178 --> 00:25:00,941
I've brought tea.

292
00:25:13,892 --> 00:25:17,726
Fumi, now is most
critical for him.

293
00:25:17,729 --> 00:25:19,720
Take good care of him.

294
00:25:19,932 --> 00:25:20,921
Yes.

295
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,364
Fumi, where are
my sisters?

296
00:25:24,369 --> 00:25:27,270
They're on the riverbank.

297
00:25:27,272 --> 00:25:29,604
They came to see me.

298
00:25:29,608 --> 00:25:34,671
It's sad... I can't play with
them because of my illness.

299
00:25:39,518 --> 00:25:43,113
Hey... Iku... Tomi!

300
00:25:43,121 --> 00:25:45,248
Is the water cold?

301
00:25:46,592 --> 00:25:49,755
Wait, I'll give you some sweets.

302
00:25:52,931 --> 00:25:55,900
Fumi, please take this to them.

303
00:25:55,934 --> 00:25:57,094
Yes.

304
00:26:02,641 --> 00:26:06,543
The girl, Fumi, takes
good care of you.

305
00:26:08,146 --> 00:26:12,606
It's a pity. The matron
said that she's all alone.

306
00:26:13,819 --> 00:26:16,845
She lost her only
sister this spring.

307
00:26:23,996 --> 00:26:26,191
Please eat it all tonight.

308
00:26:26,865 --> 00:26:29,333
Hmmm... Mail this tomorrow.

309
00:26:29,968 --> 00:26:36,237
All this? Must I eat so much?

310
00:26:36,241 --> 00:26:38,232
I can't... It's too much.

311
00:26:38,243 --> 00:26:42,441
But I've promised. Many who
want to can't even eat.

312
00:26:44,416 --> 00:26:46,475
To Tokyo?

313
00:26:46,485 --> 00:26:48,385
Yes, to my friends.

314
00:26:48,387 --> 00:26:51,117
I said I want
to return soon.

315
00:26:51,123 --> 00:26:53,489
It's bad to hurry.

316
00:26:53,492 --> 00:26:56,484
Hurry... I am in a hurry!

317
00:26:58,297 --> 00:27:01,198
I must play the piano!

318
00:27:01,199 --> 00:27:02,860
Piano?

319
00:27:02,868 --> 00:27:07,362
If you don't practice, you'll
lose your ability soon.

320
00:27:07,372 --> 00:27:10,569
Ah... you haven't
seen a piano.

321
00:27:10,575 --> 00:27:14,375
No, but I've
seen an organ.

322
00:27:16,615 --> 00:27:18,139
Really?

323
00:27:18,150 --> 00:27:22,052
The school annex near here.
I'll ask for you.

324
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,536
Bach ''Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.''

325
00:27:57,255 --> 00:27:59,189
This is a vintage organ.

326
00:28:07,933 --> 00:28:09,958
It's nice to play.

327
00:28:09,968 --> 00:28:12,300
Shall I play something for you?

328
00:28:12,904 --> 00:28:16,431
I know nothing difficult...
like music.

329
00:28:19,478 --> 00:28:24,245
Mr. Rentaro, you study such
things at school in Tokyo.

330
00:28:25,417 --> 00:28:27,248
Yeah... sort of.

331
00:28:27,252 --> 00:28:30,085
After graduation, you'll
become a music teacher.

332
00:28:31,256 --> 00:28:33,156
A teacher...

333
00:28:33,158 --> 00:28:37,857
But rather than a teacher,
I want to be a student forever.

334
00:28:37,863 --> 00:28:42,493
To study real music, one must
go to Europe or Germany.

335
00:28:44,469 --> 00:28:50,271
Once I graduate, I want to go
abroad to continue studying music.

336
00:28:52,444 --> 00:28:55,174
That's my dream.

337
00:29:26,078 --> 00:29:30,276
The county chief's son's
illness isn't beriberi.

338
00:29:30,282 --> 00:29:31,874
He has a lung disease.

339
00:29:31,883 --> 00:29:33,350
Is it true?

340
00:29:33,351 --> 00:29:37,253
That's what I heard. Didn't
they tell you anything?

341
00:29:37,289 --> 00:29:40,656
Be careful. It could
be very dangerous.

342
00:29:41,193 --> 00:29:44,629
No, I won't get it.
It's beriberi.

343
00:29:46,364 --> 00:29:48,389
What's wrong with her?

344
00:30:02,514 --> 00:30:04,414
Shall I kill you?

345
00:30:19,998 --> 00:30:22,057
Thank you for coming.

346
00:30:22,734 --> 00:30:25,134
I sent a letter to you.

347
00:30:25,137 --> 00:30:30,336
Yeah. I was with Sakaguchi
on a sketch trip until two days ago.

348
00:30:30,475 --> 00:30:32,170
We were in Okayama.

349
00:30:32,577 --> 00:30:35,740
I'm relieved.
You've recovered.

350
00:30:35,747 --> 00:30:38,716
Your colour's much better.
And your weight, too.

351
00:30:39,351 --> 00:30:43,082
I brought flowers.
Where shall I put them?

352
00:30:44,122 --> 00:30:46,352
Hi... Nice flowers.

353
00:30:46,358 --> 00:30:47,848
Wild pink.

354
00:30:49,594 --> 00:30:51,687
Put it on the desk.

355
00:30:52,497 --> 00:30:53,828
Yes.

356
00:30:55,867 --> 00:30:59,325
This is my best friend,
Mr. Suzuki.

357
00:30:59,337 --> 00:31:01,567
Fix us something good
to eat tonight.

358
00:31:01,573 --> 00:31:04,133
yes.
Make yourself at home.

359
00:31:05,277 --> 00:31:06,608
Thanks.

360
00:31:07,479 --> 00:31:09,071
Let me do that.

361
00:31:15,487 --> 00:31:18,979
Many well-dressed girls
came to the concert.

362
00:31:18,990 --> 00:31:21,550
Yuki Nakano was with
Professor Kabei.

363
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:24,160
She was stunning.

364
00:31:24,763 --> 00:31:26,731
Yuki's very pretty.

365
00:31:27,766 --> 00:31:29,597
Even you think so.

366
00:31:36,474 --> 00:31:38,772
How are the others in Tokyo?

367
00:31:39,978 --> 00:31:42,708
Kume Yuhi started a
singing movement to

368
00:31:42,714 --> 00:31:46,377
introduce colloquial and
familiar children songs.

369
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:52,554
I hesitated to join,
but Kume insisted.

370
00:31:52,557 --> 00:31:55,424
Everyone is busy.

371
00:31:56,928 --> 00:32:01,160
I'm the only one left
in such a place.

372
00:32:01,166 --> 00:32:04,966
It's nice. And you've
got a cute girl.

373
00:32:06,071 --> 00:32:09,234
Cute girl? You mean Fumi.

374
00:32:10,742 --> 00:32:13,233
She's devoted to you.

375
00:32:13,912 --> 00:32:15,345
Devoted?

376
00:32:16,047 --> 00:32:18,277
Must be in love with you.

377
00:32:18,283 --> 00:32:21,218
Love? She's just a child.

378
00:32:21,219 --> 00:32:24,188
Now my world is music.

379
00:32:25,056 --> 00:32:27,047
You never change.

380
00:32:28,059 --> 00:32:31,495
The beauty of flowers
and her feelings...

381
00:32:31,496 --> 00:32:34,329
You never understand...

382
00:32:35,033 --> 00:32:37,126
Isn't she devoted?

383
00:32:37,135 --> 00:32:39,330
Show her your gratitude.

384
00:32:39,971 --> 00:32:43,634
Well... I'll buy
her a present.

385
00:32:56,488 --> 00:32:59,321
Nobu Koda will return
from Europe.

386
00:32:59,324 --> 00:33:02,384
A concert will be
held in October.

387
00:33:03,161 --> 00:33:06,028
I hope you can come
back by then.

388
00:33:06,865 --> 00:33:09,561
Of course I'll come sooner.

389
00:33:13,905 --> 00:33:16,931
Ah... Here comes the cute girl!

390
00:33:19,778 --> 00:33:21,905
You forgot your hat.

391
00:33:27,018 --> 00:33:28,747
Please wear it.

392
00:33:29,287 --> 00:33:30,879
Thank you.

393
00:33:30,889 --> 00:33:32,584
You, too, Mr. Suzuki.

394
00:33:35,193 --> 00:33:37,218
It feels cool.

395
00:33:37,228 --> 00:33:39,196
Thank you, Fumi.

396
00:33:39,197 --> 00:33:42,098
Don't walk too
much in the sun.

397
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:43,863
Yes, we know.

398
00:33:49,641 --> 00:33:52,610
Give her your gift.

399
00:33:53,445 --> 00:33:54,878
Right now?

400
00:33:54,879 --> 00:33:56,244
Yes, now.

401
00:33:57,515 --> 00:33:58,880
Fumi!

402
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,293
This is for you.

403
00:34:11,629 --> 00:34:13,324
For me...

404
00:34:13,331 --> 00:34:15,925
Fumi, let him put it on.

405
00:34:16,534 --> 00:34:18,297
No... I can't.

406
00:34:18,803 --> 00:34:21,966
It's all right. Why not
let him do it?

407
00:34:23,274 --> 00:34:24,798
Hey... Taki!

408
00:34:25,643 --> 00:34:26,803
Yes.

409
00:34:27,846 --> 00:34:29,404
Fumi.

410
00:34:39,124 --> 00:34:40,921
It's nice. Isn't it, Taki?

411
00:35:14,192 --> 00:35:18,288
Nobu Koda Welcome Concert

412
00:35:20,632 --> 00:35:24,227
Schumann Carnival (Opus 9)
''March des Davidsbundler
contre les Philistins.''

413
00:36:47,485 --> 00:36:51,319
My aunt, Nobu, the first
overseas music student

414
00:36:51,356 --> 00:36:54,621
held a welcome concert
in October this year.

415
00:36:56,794 --> 00:37:01,788
Not having seen Taki for
some time, he looked well.

416
00:37:03,468 --> 00:37:04,833
Are you ready?

417
00:37:05,336 --> 00:37:06,667
A toast!

418
00:37:09,407 --> 00:37:12,740
Your Schumann was wonderful.

419
00:37:12,744 --> 00:37:14,974
The real thing
sounds different.

420
00:37:14,979 --> 00:37:16,469
Can you tell?

421
00:37:16,481 --> 00:37:18,039
You're teasing...

422
00:37:18,049 --> 00:37:21,143
Professor... Toson Shimazaki,
the poet.

423
00:37:21,152 --> 00:37:22,642
I'm Shimazaki.

424
00:37:22,654 --> 00:37:25,179
Thank you for the
fabulous music.

425
00:37:25,189 --> 00:37:30,183
In appreciation, my latest
poem collection, ''Wakanashu.''

426
00:37:30,962 --> 00:37:32,554
Thank you.

427
00:37:33,364 --> 00:37:36,527
You're such a gentleman,
unlike my brother.

428
00:37:37,368 --> 00:37:41,031
''A girl with bangs standing
under an apple tree

429
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:45,476
''Conjures up your image
with combs in your hair.''

430
00:37:45,476 --> 00:37:48,309
I know why young
girls love it.

431
00:37:48,313 --> 00:37:51,441
Me, too. I love it also.

432
00:37:51,449 --> 00:37:54,043
Schubertw ould compose
beautiful music.

433
00:37:54,085 --> 00:37:57,350
The music for Goethe and
Heine's poems is wonderful.

434
00:37:57,355 --> 00:37:58,982
Here comes, Rohan!

435
00:37:59,490 --> 00:38:01,685
Everyone, Rohan is coming!

436
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,794
We've been waiting for you.

437
00:38:04,796 --> 00:38:06,229
Here, let's toast!

438
00:38:07,565 --> 00:38:09,556
Cheers!

439
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,198
You don't come for the concert,
but you'll come just to drink.

440
00:38:19,210 --> 00:38:21,576
I know little of
Western music.

441
00:38:21,579 --> 00:38:24,241
Even your brother
can't snore.

442
00:38:24,916 --> 00:38:27,009
Of course not.

443
00:38:27,018 --> 00:38:29,452
That's how you play.

444
00:38:29,454 --> 00:38:31,251
Like a cafe dancer.

445
00:38:32,490 --> 00:38:37,621
Everyone, you heard what he
said... I should go and change.

446
00:38:37,629 --> 00:38:38,687
Excuse me.
Yuki, help me.

447
00:38:42,266 --> 00:38:44,200
Taki, excuse me.

448
00:38:44,202 --> 00:38:45,669
I'll get the score.

449
00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:46,762
Please.

450
00:38:50,642 --> 00:38:53,270
Are you also a
music student?

451
00:38:53,277 --> 00:38:55,404
Yes. I'm Rentaro Taki.

452
00:38:55,413 --> 00:38:59,213
Taki... You look like someone.

453
00:38:59,217 --> 00:39:03,654
Baiko, a female role actor.
Hasn't anyone told you?

454
00:39:03,655 --> 00:39:05,850
I have no idea
about actors.

455
00:39:05,857 --> 00:39:07,415
He's a great actor.

456
00:39:07,425 --> 00:39:09,791
That was a compliment.

457
00:39:10,428 --> 00:39:13,488
These crowds bore me.
Let's drink.

458
00:39:14,465 --> 00:39:15,693
Yes.

459
00:39:20,104 --> 00:39:22,766
Borrow Schumann's scores?

460
00:39:22,774 --> 00:39:25,334
Just to look. He was
so impressed.

461
00:39:25,343 --> 00:39:26,674
Impossible! No.

462
00:39:26,678 --> 00:39:28,475
He's waiting.

463
00:39:28,479 --> 00:39:30,140
Don't forget!

464
00:39:30,148 --> 00:39:32,309
Scores are irreplaceable.

465
00:39:32,316 --> 00:39:34,784
That's six years of
achievement in Europe.

466
00:39:34,786 --> 00:39:36,651
I don't want to even
show them to you.

467
00:39:36,654 --> 00:39:38,087
Absolutely not!

468
00:39:38,756 --> 00:39:41,122
Scores are irreplaceable?

469
00:39:41,125 --> 00:39:45,221
It's natural for Nobu Koda
to think of it that way.

470
00:39:45,863 --> 00:39:47,524
That's ready to eat.

471
00:39:51,936 --> 00:39:54,632
Mr. Suzuki, isn't your
music finished?

472
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,797
Show it to me.

473
00:39:57,475 --> 00:39:59,670
Soon, in the future.

474
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,477
Taki, I'm afraid
I lack talent.

475
00:40:06,751 --> 00:40:09,413
It's not possible.
You have talent.

476
00:40:10,354 --> 00:40:13,289
Don't struggle alone.
Show me.

477
00:40:13,291 --> 00:40:15,759
I may have an idea.

478
00:40:16,661 --> 00:40:18,492
Your
 idea?

479
00:40:19,163 --> 00:40:21,688
To my own music.

480
00:40:21,699
 --> 00:40:24,099
Don't be ridiculous, Taki!

481
00:40:24,102 --> 00:40:25,467
Waitress!

482
00:40:26,504 --> 00:40:29,132
Oh, both of you are here.

483
00:40:29,674 --> 00:40:32,142
Five bottles of sake
and three beef pots.

484
00:40:32,877 --> 00:40:36,074
We're over there.
Join us?

485
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,570
Not me.

486
00:40:37,582 --> 00:40:40,517
You're unsociable...
Let's go!

487
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,178
Taki, you go!

488
00:40:43,187 --> 00:40:44,848
Come on.

489
00:40:44,856 --> 00:40:47,347
Taki, I'll introduce
my fiancé.

490
00:40:48,025 --> 00:40:49,617
Is it okay?

491
00:40:49,627 --> 00:40:52,289
Never mind. He is
a proud loner.

492
00:40:52,864 --> 00:40:55,298
Yes.

493
00:40:59,403 --> 00:41:03,533
Your music must be
almost completed.

494
00:41:03,541 --> 00:41:06,169
Hmm... I'm editing it.

495
00:41:06,177 --> 00:41:09,578
Your standard is high.
I expect good results.

496
00:41:11,149 --> 00:41:13,208
Everyone, a guest.

497
00:41:13,217 --> 00:41:14,741
Oh, Taki.

498
00:41:14,786 --> 00:41:16,185
Evening.

499
00:41:16,187 --> 00:41:17,950
- Hello.
- Please sit.

500
00:41:17,955 --> 00:41:22,415
Mr. Taki... Motokichi
Azuma my fiancé.

501
00:41:22,426 --> 00:41:23,484
- I'm Azuma.
- I'm Taki.

502
00:41:24,896 --> 00:41:27,364
Taki, you know our
singing movement?

503
00:41:27,365 --> 00:41:29,356
Yes, from Mr. Suzuki.

504
00:41:29,367 --> 00:41:31,335
Will you join?

505
00:41:31,769 --> 00:41:34,863
Perhaps four seasons
in Japan.

506
00:41:35,339 --> 00:41:37,739
Four seasons, what's that?

507
00:41:37,742 --> 00:41:41,610
I compose each
season's song...

508
00:41:41,646 --> 00:41:43,204
A suite.

509
00:41:43,214 --> 00:41:45,546
Wow, it's a great idea.

510
00:41:45,550 --> 00:41:48,246
Taki, please do it.

511
00:42:03,901 --> 00:42:05,368
No good!

512
00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:07,633
Why can't I do it!

513
00:42:26,357 --> 00:42:27,881
Suzuki!

514
00:42:37,602 --> 00:42:39,570
Letter for you.

515
00:42:40,938 --> 00:42:42,405
Thank you.

516
00:42:54,151 --> 00:42:58,417
I didn't tell you...
Your father has palsy.

517
00:42:58,422 --> 00:43:01,880
Most of the labourers have left.

518
00:43:01,893 --> 00:43:06,057
Tenryu Riverwork
doesn't progress.

519
00:43:06,063 --> 00:43:08,691
Come back once.
Your mother.

520
00:43:13,404 --> 00:43:16,635
Return to attend family affairs.

521
00:43:19,110 --> 00:43:20,270
Damn!

522
00:43:24,682 --> 00:43:28,209
However, most songs are
to promote music in

523
00:43:28,219 --> 00:43:32,679
school and few are of a
higher standard than that.

524
00:43:33,491 --> 00:43:35,015
Sorry, I'm late.

525
00:43:36,227 --> 00:43:41,893
We regret the situation, and our
own songs are presented hereby.

526
00:43:43,267 --> 00:43:45,235
How does it sound?

527
00:43:45,870 --> 00:43:48,634
Our purpose is clear.
It's good.

528
00:43:48,639 --> 00:43:51,506
The old school will
resist time.

529
00:43:51,509 --> 00:43:53,807
Depends on our songs.

530
00:43:53,811 --> 00:43:56,245
Still, Suzuki is late.

531
00:43:56,247 --> 00:43:58,477
Let's play our songs
while we wait.

532
00:43:59,884 --> 00:44:02,819
Excellent foreword.
You're great.

533
00:44:08,392 --> 00:44:12,328
Mr. Taki, our songs.
Please play them.

534
00:44:14,231 --> 00:44:15,562
Sure.

535
00:44:20,771 --> 00:44:22,568
Is this yours?

536
00:44:22,573 --> 00:44:26,100
Female chorus in two parts.

537
00:44:28,379 --> 00:44:36,616
''At the zenith of spring
time on the Sumida River,

538
00:44:36,620 --> 00:44:44,527
''Passengers on boats are
going up and down the river.''

539
00:44:44,528 --> 00:44:49,124
Wonderful! Isn't it wonderful?

540
00:44:57,875 --> 00:45:05,839
''At the zenith of spring
time on the Sumida River,

541
00:45:05,850 --> 00:45:13,757
''Passengers on boats are
going up and down the river.

542
00:45:13,758 --> 00:45:19,025
''The oars splash and
spread the water

543
00:45:19,030 --> 00:45:22,932
''like flower petals.

544
00:45:22,933 --> 00:45:28,530
''The scenery is of
incomparable beauty.''

545
00:45:28,539 --> 00:45:31,599
Remarkable, a
two-part chorus.

546
00:45:31,609 --> 00:45:33,702
So talented.

547
00:45:34,445 --> 00:45:36,640
I can never do this.

548
00:45:37,281 --> 00:45:43,151
''Have you seen the
cherry blossoms

549
00:45:43,154 --> 00:45:49,753
''talking to you covered
with early morning dew?

550
00:45:52,296 --> 00:45:57,996
''Have you seen the green
willow tree in the dusk

551
00:45:58,002 --> 00:46:05,033
''inviting you and standing
its branches like

552
00:46:05,042 --> 00:46:07,237
''welcoming hands?

553
00:46:15,052 --> 00:46:22,151
''On the long riverbanks
trimmed with golden leaves,

554
00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:29,327
''a hazy moon rises
when I come.

555
00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:35,203
''Every moment is precious.

556
00:46:35,206 --> 00:46:45,013
''The scenery is of
incomparable beauty.''

557
00:47:30,794 --> 00:47:33,820
''The Four Seasons Suite''
including ''Flower,'' was

558
00:47:33,831 --> 00:47:37,323
the first lyrics set to
music in Japan.

559
00:47:38,369 --> 00:47:42,237
He kept writing, including
a minuet, and songs for

560
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,833
the piano and children.

561
00:47:45,576 --> 00:47:50,946
In a short time, he composed many
great songs one after another.

562
00:48:05,129 --> 00:48:06,460
Yuki...

563
00:48:10,901 --> 00:48:12,835
Sorry to bother you.

564
00:48:12,836 --> 00:48:14,565
What can I do?

565
00:48:16,006 --> 00:48:17,735
Here it is.

566
00:48:18,542 --> 00:48:21,033
Schumann's ''Carnival''.

567
00:48:26,383 --> 00:48:29,147
Sorry for the other day.

568
00:48:29,153 --> 00:48:32,520
My aunt gave me
many scores.

569
00:48:35,392 --> 00:48:37,053
Mr. Taki.

570
00:48:38,562 --> 00:48:40,792
I have many others.

571
00:48:40,798 --> 00:48:43,392
If it's okay, come
to my home.

572
00:48:44,335 --> 00:48:46,326
Is it all right?

573
00:48:46,337 --> 00:48:47,964
Please.

574
00:48:54,912 --> 00:48:56,539
Here you are.

575
00:48:57,114 --> 00:48:59,139
Oh... Thank you.

576
00:48:59,783 --> 00:49:01,683
Whose is it?

577
00:49:05,122 --> 00:49:08,250
A fugue by Schumann.

578
00:49:14,932 --> 00:49:18,800
I'm cunning and mean.

579
00:49:20,404 --> 00:49:25,432
My aunt refused
the other night.

580
00:49:25,442 --> 00:49:28,536
Truly, I was relieved.

581
00:49:28,545 --> 00:49:33,380
I wanted to monopolize them...
It makes a difference.

582
00:49:33,384 --> 00:49:35,944
Especially towards you.

583
00:49:35,953 --> 00:49:38,513
Me... Why?

584
00:49:38,555 --> 00:49:40,750
''Consolation,'' by Liszt.

585
00:49:40,758 --> 00:49:45,195
You play such difficult
pieces better than me.

586
00:49:45,195 --> 00:49:47,527
Itwas the first threat to me.

587
00:49:47,531 --> 00:49:50,091
Threat? That's ridiculous.

588
00:49:52,169 --> 00:49:54,262
May I play this music?

589
00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:57,238
Go ahead.

590
00:50:32,876 --> 00:50:34,810
Miss Nobu is back.

591
00:50:36,647 --> 00:50:37,773
Welcome back.

592
00:50:37,781 --> 00:50:39,373
I thought itwas you.

593
00:50:40,751 --> 00:50:43,413
Don't stop because I'm back.

594
00:50:43,420 --> 00:50:44,682
Continue.

595
00:50:45,222 --> 00:50:46,883
Bring my tea in here.

596
00:50:48,625 --> 00:50:50,286
Please continue.

597
00:50:50,861 --> 00:50:51,953
Yes.

598
00:51:14,118 --> 00:51:15,176
Wait!

599
00:51:16,253 --> 00:51:19,279
Schumann must have
written a comment.

600
00:51:19,289 --> 00:51:21,757
Don't ignore the composer's
instruction.

601
00:51:21,759 --> 00:51:25,160
Also, play with your fingers
deeper in the keys.

602
00:51:29,666 --> 00:51:32,464
It gives a full,
rich sound.

603
00:51:38,809 --> 00:51:41,300
Move yourfingers
deeper. Go ahead.

604
00:51:41,945 --> 00:51:43,173
Yes.

605
00:52:01,331 --> 00:52:04,892
All of your books and
scores are valuable.

606
00:52:05,602 --> 00:52:10,301
Hoffman and Campe of Germany
is indeed a great publisher.

607
00:52:10,340 --> 00:52:12,433
I'll offer you ten yen.

608
00:52:13,444 --> 00:52:15,969
A little more please.

609
00:52:15,979 --> 00:52:18,914
My father is ill
and I need money.

610
00:52:20,250 --> 00:52:22,775
Well... how about this?

611
00:52:24,354 --> 00:52:26,754
Fumi! Aren't you Fumi?

612
00:52:28,025 --> 00:52:30,118
I thought itwas you.

613
00:52:30,127 --> 00:52:32,186
Who is this man?

614
00:52:32,196 --> 00:52:34,426
Do you know Fumi?

615
00:52:34,431 --> 00:52:36,399
I'm Suzuki, a student.

616
00:52:36,934 --> 00:52:39,664
Can't you prevent her from
becoming a concubine?

617
00:52:39,670 --> 00:52:42,503
I've already been paid.

618
00:52:42,506 --> 00:52:45,441
Don't you pity Fumi?

619
00:52:45,843 --> 00:52:47,105
Here you go.

620
00:52:47,678 --> 00:52:49,839
Sorry, you spent money.

621
00:52:50,314 --> 00:52:52,248
Fumi, go ahead and eat.

622
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,620
She's not becoming
a prostitute.

623
00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:09,497
She'll serve just her master.

624
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:13,994
There's a difference in age,
but he's rich and kind.

625
00:53:14,004 --> 00:53:18,168
His wife has been ill a long time.
It's a good deal for her.

626
00:53:18,175 --> 00:53:20,075
Which tram?

627
00:53:20,644 --> 00:53:23,078
Night... leaves at six.

628
00:53:23,647 --> 00:53:25,808
Fumi, come meet Taki.

629
00:53:28,785 --> 00:53:32,221
How is Rentaro?
Is he well?

630
00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:34,787
Yes, he is well.

631
00:53:37,461 --> 00:53:40,089
You want to see him?

632
00:53:40,097 --> 00:53:42,725
No... someone like me...

633
00:53:43,500 --> 00:53:46,731
Hey! What're you
saying to her?

634
00:53:47,571 --> 00:53:49,334
We'll be back by six.

635
00:53:50,641 --> 00:53:52,336
Fumi, let's go.

636
00:53:52,809 --> 00:53:54,504
Hey, you. Hey.

637
00:53:57,648 --> 00:54:01,880
Seeing a man from a different
class will get
 her nowhere.

638
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:20,836
Fumi, I can't find
him anywhere.

639
00:54:21,939 --> 00:54:25,841
It's
 okay. You've
done enough.

640
00:54:27,878 --> 00:54:31,336
Someone like me shouldn't
meet Rentaro.

641
00:54:32,215 --> 00:54:35,673
Please, give him
my best regards.

642
00:54:39,022 --> 00:54:40,819
Fumi, wait a moment.

643
00:54:50,167 --> 00:54:51,896
Fumi, wait here.

644
00:54:54,972 --> 00:54:56,200
Taki!

645
00:54:57,007 --> 00:54:58,634
Oh, Mr. Suzuki.

646
00:54:59,910 --> 00:55:03,437
Someone wants to see you.
It's Fumi.

647
00:55:04,581 --> 00:55:05,946
Fumi?

648
00:55:06,783 --> 00:55:08,910
Well, I'm leaving...

649
00:55:13,357 --> 00:55:17,316
She's going to Ojiya, Niigata
to become a concubine.

650
00:55:17,894 --> 00:55:19,521
Concubine?

651
00:55:19,529 --> 00:55:22,123
The six o'clock train from
Ueno. We have no time.

652
00:55:22,132 --> 00:55:23,565
See her now.

653
00:55:23,567 --> 00:55:26,468
But, Mr. Suzuki,
what can I do?

654
00:55:27,104 --> 00:55:30,972
She wears your comb
like a treasure.

655
00:55:30,974 --> 00:55:33,067
At least say goodbye.

656
00:55:54,798 --> 00:55:56,356
Fumi.

657
00:56:01,004 --> 00:56:05,464
Fumi.

658
00:56:06,943 --> 00:56:08,672
She's not here.

659
00:56:10,681 --> 00:56:13,445
Idiot! She must be nearby.

660
00:56:14,685 --> 00:56:18,086
You study music but don't
understand women!

661
00:56:18,088 --> 00:56:20,488
Look for her! Find her!

662
00:56:22,325 --> 00:56:23,656
Yes.

663
00:56:28,165 --> 00:56:29,757
Fumi!

664
00:56:32,269 --> 00:56:34,237
Fumi!

665
00:56:37,474 --> 00:56:39,374
Fumi!

666
00:57:17,547 --> 00:57:20,482
Ms. Adachi, where
will you teach?

667
00:57:20,484 --> 00:57:22,645
Daiichi Women's High School.

668
00:57:22,652 --> 00:57:23,983
And you, Chika?

669
00:57:23,987 --> 00:57:25,852
I have offers in
Tokyo and Kobe.

670
00:57:25,856 --> 00:57:27,380
I'm not sure.

671
00:57:27,390 --> 00:57:29,381
Choose Kobe. I'll visit.

672
00:57:29,392 --> 00:57:31,519
You can't. You'll be overseas.

673
00:57:31,528 --> 00:57:33,758
I'll get married soon.

674
00:57:33,764 --> 00:57:35,823
Germany? America?

675
00:57:35,832 --> 00:57:38,733
It's for the professors and the
Ministry of Education to decide.

676
00:57:38,735 --> 00:57:40,532
No one knows who's going.

677
00:57:40,537 --> 00:57:43,267
If not you, who?
Mr. Taki?

678
00:57:44,407 --> 00:57:46,932
In June, Meiji 32 (1899)...

679
00:57:46,943 --> 00:57:49,571
After a long hiatus, the
government reactivated

680
00:57:49,579 --> 00:57:51,740
its overseas study program.

681
00:57:53,383 --> 00:57:57,149
Without choice, Mr. Taki and
I were involved in this.

682
00:57:59,089 --> 00:58:01,421
Officials realized the
importance of

683
00:58:01,424 --> 00:58:04,325
music education.
It's good forthem.

684
00:58:04,327 --> 00:58:06,955
After the Nisshin War,
the military envied

685
00:58:06,963 --> 00:58:09,761
foreign band music
and supported it.

686
00:58:11,101 --> 00:58:12,591
That's one reason.

687
00:58:12,602 --> 00:58:16,800
But, military music and ours
have little in common.

688
00:58:16,807 --> 00:58:18,900
But a student will be
sent abroad again,

689
00:58:18,909 --> 00:58:21,207
so their ignorance
may be beneficial.

690
00:58:21,244 --> 00:58:24,042
Yuki Nakano seems
the logical choice.

691
00:58:24,047 --> 00:58:26,208
I prefer a male student.

692
00:58:26,216 --> 00:58:30,084
Nobu was the first...
Next should be Taki.

693
00:58:31,488 --> 00:58:33,820
Me? What about me?

694
00:58:33,824 --> 00:58:36,258
About who will
be sent abroad.

695
00:58:36,259 --> 00:58:38,625
It should be Yuki.
Who else!

696
00:58:42,399 --> 00:58:45,562
You'll be sent abroad.
I'll take care of it.

697
00:58:46,169 --> 00:58:48,103
What about Mr. Taki?

698
00:58:48,672 --> 00:58:52,005
Don't be distracted
by other matters.

699
00:58:52,576 --> 00:58:55,306
Prepare for German and
your farewell concert.

700
00:58:59,082 --> 00:59:04,145
Okay, Taki will be the
representative student player.

701
00:59:04,154 --> 00:59:06,622
A competition between you two.

702
00:59:10,861 --> 00:59:15,161
Yuki Nakano Farewell Concert

703
00:59:17,334 --> 00:59:21,964
Schumann ''Fugue No. 1 in A Major.''

704
00:59:45,996 --> 00:59:47,395
I can't...

705
00:59:47,964 --> 00:59:49,955
Not afterTaki.

706
00:59:51,468 --> 00:59:52,958
You're weak!

707
00:59:53,970 --> 00:59:56,530
To be a professional.

708
00:59:56,539 --> 00:59:58,905
It's just the start.

709
00:59:58,909 --> 01:00:00,843
It's always a challenge.

710
01:00:00,844 --> 01:00:03,312
I can't... Taki's too good.

711
01:00:03,313 --> 01:00:06,214
Why? You give up easily.

712
01:00:06,216 --> 01:00:08,184
You must love Taki.

713
01:00:08,852 --> 01:00:13,255
Then, fight that feeling
for fame and love.

714
01:00:50,827 --> 01:00:52,795
Now go ahead.

715
01:01:41,411 --> 01:01:44,778
Liszt Concert Etude No. 3 in
D-flat Major "Unsospiro."

716
01:02:24,788 --> 01:02:28,349
Schumann is very sensitive
and hard to control.

717
01:02:28,358 --> 01:02:30,485
You played it well.

718
01:02:31,294 --> 01:02:33,319
But that's not enough.

719
01:02:33,329 --> 01:02:36,264
Schumann is full of
torment and sorrow.

720
01:02:36,266 --> 01:02:38,291
You don't convey that.

721
01:02:38,935 --> 01:02:40,402
Really?

722
01:02:40,403 --> 01:02:42,837
I wish I understood.

723
01:02:43,506 --> 01:02:47,374
But I'm also confused
and have sorrow.

724
01:02:47,377 --> 01:02:50,346
You are? That's good.

725
01:02:50,346 --> 01:02:53,110
But, self pity is not agony.

726
01:02:53,116 --> 01:02:54,743
Understand?

727
01:03:29,786 --> 01:03:32,084
Mr. Taki, I'm sorry.

728
01:03:34,190 --> 01:03:39,924
You'd better go abroad first.
I truly think so.

729
01:03:41,731 --> 01:03:44,256
I don't agree.

730
01:03:44,267 --> 01:03:47,065
Today, you played beautifully.

731
01:03:47,537 --> 01:03:49,164
Really?

732
01:03:49,172 --> 01:03:50,764
Yes, honestly.

733
01:03:52,509 --> 01:03:56,036
But, frankly speaking,
while listening to you

734
01:03:56,045 --> 01:03:59,071
play I was thinking again
that I wanted to go to

735
01:03:59,082 --> 01:04:03,246
Germany badly to study music.

736
01:04:03,887 --> 01:04:08,085
I became so jealous that
you can go to Germany.

737
01:04:08,091 --> 01:04:13,119
I feel really bad about it.

738
01:04:13,129 --> 01:04:16,064
You should go this year, and
I can go next year.

739
01:04:16,065 --> 01:04:18,431
Next year isn't guaranteed.

740
01:04:18,434 --> 01:04:21,028
Then, I won't go.

741
01:04:21,671 --> 01:04:24,196
That's silly! You can't.

742
01:04:25,608 --> 01:04:30,011
Today, Professor Nobu pointed
out that my music doesn't

743
01:04:30,013 --> 01:04:32,413
convey torment and sorrow.

744
01:04:33,650 --> 01:04:35,777
I was dismayed.

745
01:04:35,785 --> 01:04:38,754
Because it concerned me lately.

746
01:04:39,656 --> 01:04:43,114
I'm confused about how
to understand music,

747
01:04:43,126 --> 01:04:45,720
play the piano
and compose.

748
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,393
Sorry, I became so excited
that I talked nonsense.

749
01:04:57,273 --> 01:05:00,538
Today is to celebrate
your farewell.

750
01:05:03,746 --> 01:05:06,476
Then, I can really go?

751
01:05:08,218 --> 01:05:10,345
Of course.

752
01:05:11,387 --> 01:05:16,950
Yuki, someone must be
the forerunner.

753
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:21,056
Otherwise, we'll never
reach Western standards.

754
01:05:21,064 --> 01:05:23,464
Yuki, do your best.

755
01:05:26,135 --> 01:05:29,036
Come next year.
I'll wait for you.

756
01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:32,234
Yes. I'll be there.

757
01:05:37,347 --> 01:05:43,047
Two weeks later, as the second
one to be sent abroad,

758
01:05:43,086 --> 01:05:46,021
I left for Germany
ahead of Mr. Taki.

759
01:05:53,830 --> 01:05:56,492
Taki, thanks for
your letters.

760
01:05:57,233 --> 01:06:00,725
How are you? How's your health?

761
01:06:02,605 --> 01:06:05,369
I'm a day labourer now.

762
01:06:06,242 --> 01:06:08,403
I won't return to school.

763
01:06:09,145 --> 01:06:11,443
I won't see you again.

764
01:06:13,216 --> 01:06:16,674
I appreciate your
lasting friendship.

765
01:06:18,054 --> 01:06:20,022
Do your best.

766
01:06:28,298 --> 01:06:29,560
Welcome.

767
01:06:31,868 --> 01:06:34,200
Don't stare... It's me.

768
01:06:34,871 --> 01:06:36,099
Misako...

769
01:06:36,773 --> 01:06:39,139
Please... will you change seats?

770
01:06:39,809 --> 01:06:40,935
- Okay.
- Thank you.

771
01:06:41,978 --> 01:06:45,106
Mr. Taki, you look older.

772
01:06:45,715 --> 01:06:47,478
Rice? Right away.

773
01:06:50,119 --> 01:06:53,020
I left Tokyo without a word.

774
01:06:53,022 --> 01:06:55,286
She appeared here
suddenly.

775
01:06:55,291 --> 01:06:56,849
I was surprised.

776
01:06:56,859 --> 01:06:58,884
She's prettier now.

777
01:06:59,729 --> 01:07:02,425
She likes the difficult
life here.

778
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:06,530
Maybe she's pretending.

779
01:07:08,371 --> 01:07:10,965
Please come back to school.

780
01:07:13,109 --> 01:07:16,476
If it's money, then my
scores are selling, so

781
01:07:16,479 --> 01:07:18,913
I can help a little.

782
01:07:18,915 --> 01:07:21,076
No, don't bother.

783
01:07:21,784 --> 01:07:25,481
I'm the eldest son... I can't
abandon my family.

784
01:07:26,122 --> 01:07:28,590
I'm also the eldest.

785
01:07:29,926 --> 01:07:32,952
I'm lucky compared to you.

786
01:07:32,962 --> 01:07:34,361
Thank you.

787
01:07:35,965 --> 01:07:39,867
Taki... his food.
He eats quickly.

788
01:07:39,869 --> 01:07:41,200
Have some.

789
01:07:41,771 --> 01:07:43,602
Misa, we're still hungry.

790
01:07:43,606 --> 01:07:44,868
Right away.

791
01:07:48,044 --> 01:07:50,171
Mr. Suzuki.

792
01:07:50,813 --> 01:07:54,249
Rather than my music,

793
01:07:54,250 --> 01:07:56,741
I question my life.

794
01:07:59,155 --> 01:08:01,146
Is that so?

795
01:08:01,758 --> 01:08:07,025
To love and separate, I haven't
experienced anything.

796
01:08:08,898 --> 01:08:13,597
I finally started to
realize what
 you said.

797
01:08:14,270 --> 01:08:17,137
Yeah... now you understand...

798
01:08:19,242 --> 01:08:22,507
Maybe I pretended
to be serious.

799
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,173
The master is
calling you.

800
01:08:26,182 --> 01:08:27,843
Yes, I'm coming.

801
01:08:29,986 --> 01:08:32,420
I expect great
things from you.

802
01:08:33,956 --> 01:08:37,016
I'm writing music
on this trip.

803
01:08:37,026 --> 01:08:39,358
''Moon on the Castle Ruin.''

804
01:08:39,996 --> 01:08:41,588
Bansui Tsuchii's.

805
01:08:41,597 --> 01:08:44,760
''Bloom in the Moonlight.''

806
01:08:44,767 --> 01:08:47,895
Take care and compose
something original.

807
01:08:48,871 --> 01:08:53,035
Yes.
Sorry, no time.

808
01:08:54,844 --> 01:08:55,902
Never mind.

809
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:57,844
I'm leaving.

810
01:08:57,847 --> 01:08:59,405
Be careful.

811
01:09:08,825 --> 01:09:15,321
When I followed him here
he cried when he saw me.

812
01:09:16,999 --> 01:09:20,765
He cried so much.
Isn't it funny?

813
01:09:24,340 --> 01:09:25,898
Have more.

814
01:09:41,324 --> 01:09:46,455
By March of Meiji 34 (1901 ),
Taki completed songs such as

815
01:09:46,462 --> 01:09:50,091
''Bloom in the Moonlight''
and ''Hakone Hachiri'' and

816
01:09:50,099 --> 01:09:54,661
acappella including ''Araiso.''

817
01:09:54,670 --> 01:09:59,107
In April, his life-time dream to
study in Germany finally came.

818
01:10:02,011 --> 01:10:07,142
Rentaro Taki Farewell Concert

819
01:10:18,594 --> 01:10:30,995
''The cherry blossom viewing
party on the castle tower

820
01:10:31,007 --> 01:10:41,975
''where sake cups were
passed around,

821
01:10:41,984 --> 01:10:49,322
''the petals reflect on
the surface.

822
01:10:50,660 --> 01:11:07,169
''Stately pine trees grew.

823
01:11:07,176 --> 01:11:24,151
''Whither the glory gone...

824
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:42,478
''The same moonbeams
always cast shadows

825
01:11:42,478 --> 01:11:59,726
''But man's life changes
by ebb and flow...

826
01:11:59,762 --> 01:12:19,673
''Is the cool moon shadow
trying to reflect the past?

827
01:12:19,682 --> 01:12:34,894
''Moonlight blooms in midnight
on the castle ruin...''

828
01:13:15,438 --> 01:13:19,966
To study abroad is a
government mission.

829
01:13:19,975 --> 01:13:24,912
I'm even prepared to
sacrifice my own life.

830
01:13:24,914 --> 01:13:31,786
I'll complete the mission and
want to return your favour to me.

831
01:13:43,265 --> 01:13:48,202
Taki, you should relax more.

832
01:13:48,204 --> 01:13:49,933
Yuki, too.

833
01:13:49,939 --> 01:13:52,806
Pressure to complete
such a mission

834
01:13:52,808 --> 01:13:56,005
may overwhelm you.

835
01:13:56,011 --> 01:13:58,571
Forget about the government.

836
01:14:06,055 --> 01:14:09,149
I have high hopes for you.

837
01:14:10,092 --> 01:14:11,525
Yes.

838
01:14:13,562 --> 01:14:17,054
Rentaro, please take
care of yourself.

839
01:14:17,066 --> 01:14:19,500
I'll eat a lot everyday.

840
01:14:19,502 --> 01:14:20,867
Please.

841
01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:23,566
Your father also worries.

842
01:14:23,572 --> 01:14:24,869
Yes.

843
01:14:24,874 --> 01:14:27,468
One month to Berlin is long.

844
01:14:27,476 --> 01:14:29,273
Oh, Mr. Suzuki.

845
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:32,308
Mr. Suzuki.

846
01:14:34,350 --> 01:14:36,011
Mr. Suzuki.

847
01:14:37,153 --> 01:14:38,552
Congratulations!

848
01:14:39,088 --> 01:14:40,817
You made it to Germany!

849
01:14:40,823 --> 01:14:45,419
Yes, finally... How's
your family, Mr. Suzuki?

850
01:14:47,596 --> 01:14:51,123
Father died and
everything is gone.

851
01:14:52,101 --> 01:14:55,036
I'm getting married
to Misako.

852
01:14:56,605 --> 01:15:00,507
Also, I've decided to
pursue music as you are.

853
01:15:00,509 --> 01:15:04,775
I'm going to teach music at
a grade school in Hamamatsu...

854
01:15:04,780 --> 01:15:06,805
It's near my home.

855
01:15:06,849 --> 01:15:08,908
That's great.
I'm glad.

856
01:15:10,786 --> 01:15:12,151
Thank you.

857
01:15:14,790 --> 01:15:17,020
I'm grateful to you.

858
01:15:19,428 --> 01:15:22,761
I owe what I am today to you.

859
01:15:23,566 --> 01:15:25,261
Don't be ridiculous!

860
01:15:26,302 --> 01:15:27,792
Thank you!

861
01:15:28,571 --> 01:15:30,129
Thank you!

862
01:15:31,574 --> 01:15:33,064
Thank you...

863
01:15:35,511 --> 01:15:39,607
Leipzig

864
01:15:44,753 --> 01:15:48,018
Leipzig Imperial Music Academy

865
01:15:58,434 --> 01:16:02,393
Relax. Not so much weight
on your arm! Try it.

866
01:16:11,647 --> 01:16:15,139
Let's see. No tension
in your thumb.

867
01:16:15,718 --> 01:16:18,812
Elbow also. All must
move freely.

868
01:16:19,388 --> 01:16:21,515
Use your thumb so.
You see.

869
01:16:21,523 --> 01:16:22,717
Yes, sir.

870
01:16:22,725 --> 01:16:24,124
Try it again.

871
01:17:00,896 --> 01:17:05,492
Beethoven ''Fourth Movement'' from
Symphony No. 5 in C Minor

872
01:19:40,289 --> 01:19:42,814
I'm adjusting to the food.

873
01:19:42,825 --> 01:19:46,556
I've been sent by Japan.

874
01:19:46,562 --> 01:19:50,555
I'm studying hard to
fulfil all expectations.

875
01:19:50,566 --> 01:19:52,864
Please don't worry.

876
01:19:52,868 --> 01:19:55,769
Dear Father from Rentaro.

877
01:20:30,939 --> 01:20:35,273
Suzuki, I'm overwhelmed by
the tradition and culture

878
01:20:35,277 --> 01:20:39,407
of Germany which we
can never achieve.

879
01:20:40,382 --> 01:20:43,818
I feel forlorn by
my helplessness.

880
01:20:46,155 --> 01:20:50,922
Schumann ''Piano Concerto in A Minor''

881
01:22:32,728 --> 01:22:35,720
Technique, interpretation
and philosophy...

882
01:22:35,731 --> 01:22:38,029
All surpass imagination.

883
01:22:39,801 --> 01:22:43,464
It may be more than
culture and tradition.

884
01:22:44,339 --> 01:22:46,466
It's talent...

885
01:22:46,475 --> 01:22:49,376
My own talent...

886
01:23:32,254 --> 01:23:36,247
Someone like me...
Sent to study here.

887
01:23:36,258 --> 01:23:39,716
What can I bring
back to Japan?

888
01:23:41,096 --> 01:23:46,966
However, my mission is to
take something back to Japan.

889
01:23:47,769 --> 01:23:53,207
I'll find something even
if it means my life.

890
01:23:58,246 --> 01:24:00,714
Do your best, Taki.

891
01:24:26,675 --> 01:24:32,272
Around then, while Taki
was staying in Leipzig,

892
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:36,444
I was faraway in Berlin.

893
01:24:39,187 --> 01:24:42,850
...I was also suffering...

894
01:24:46,328 --> 01:24:49,661
Berlin National Institute of Music

895
01:24:50,298 --> 01:24:53,529
Yuki!

896
01:24:59,708 --> 01:25:02,905
You must practice!

897
01:25:04,045 --> 01:25:05,444
I can't...

898
01:25:05,447 --> 01:25:08,575
I don't want to even
look at a piano.

899
01:25:08,583 --> 01:25:11,575
I've asked the Duchess.
Go to the castle.

900
01:25:12,220 --> 01:25:17,590
I have no confidence.
My fingers are useless.

901
01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:24,421
I miss Taki.

902
01:25:24,433 --> 01:25:27,061
I want to see him badly.

903
01:25:28,904 --> 01:25:32,237
That's all I could think of.

904
01:26:04,039 --> 01:26:06,234
Kume wrote to me.

905
01:26:06,808 --> 01:26:09,971
She had a baby... a girl.

906
01:26:12,414 --> 01:26:15,247
Kume is already a mother.

907
01:26:15,817 --> 01:26:18,285
She also wrote about you.

908
01:26:18,286 --> 01:26:22,154
After I left, you composed
wonderful songs.

909
01:26:23,725 --> 01:26:27,183
''Bloom in the Moonlight,''
''Hakone Hachiri...''

910
01:26:28,797 --> 01:26:32,858
But I can't match German art songs.

911
01:26:32,901 --> 01:26:34,232
Not true.

912
01:26:34,236 --> 01:26:36,932
Everyone sings them
now in Japan.

913
01:26:40,008 --> 01:26:42,875
Tonight, let's have
a good meal.

914
01:26:44,846 --> 01:26:48,543
There's a nice restaurant
down-town.

915
01:26:48,550 --> 01:26:51,417
I heard the Eiswein is good.

916
01:26:51,419 --> 01:26:53,717
The Duchess recommended it.

917
01:26:53,722 --> 01:26:55,656
Duchess?

918
01:26:56,291 --> 01:26:58,384
Why are you here?

919
01:26:59,895 --> 01:27:03,524
There's a final competition
coming up soon.

920
01:27:03,965 --> 01:27:05,865
I'm practising here.

921
01:27:06,301 --> 01:27:07,529
Competition?

922
01:27:13,408 --> 01:27:15,342
Beautiful room...

923
01:27:17,412 --> 01:27:20,347
It's good for practising.

924
01:27:24,686 --> 01:27:26,813
When is the competition?

925
01:27:28,890 --> 01:27:30,790
In four days.

926
01:27:30,792 --> 01:27:33,226
Four days? What music?

927
01:27:34,062 --> 01:27:36,724
Beethoven's ''Appasionata.''

928
01:27:37,332 --> 01:27:40,062
But I probably won't be there.

929
01:27:40,068 --> 01:27:42,935
No? Why?

930
01:27:42,971 --> 01:27:46,168
No confidence... I'm
afraid of the piano.

931
01:27:47,242 --> 01:27:48,470
Afraid?

932
01:27:48,476 --> 01:27:53,311
You wouldn't understand
how I'm feeling now.

933
01:27:57,619 --> 01:28:00,884
You came to play a sonata
in the competition and

934
01:28:00,889 --> 01:28:03,187
a concerto with
full orchestra.

935
01:28:03,191 --> 01:28:05,659
That's why you're here.

936
01:28:06,294 --> 01:28:08,455
I'm nobody here.

937
01:28:09,531 --> 01:28:14,161
If you don't play now,
you'll neve rplay again.

938
01:28:16,471 --> 01:28:18,939
Is that what you want?

939
01:28:19,474 --> 01:28:22,966
It's all right. I don't
care about music.

940
01:28:24,646 --> 01:28:27,308
I'm ready to forget
about it.

941
01:28:28,016 --> 01:28:30,075
You're trying to escape.

942
01:28:30,085 --> 01:28:32,679
Running away won't help.

943
01:28:47,202 --> 01:28:49,067
Let's play.

944
01:30:06,848 --> 01:30:09,009
I can't! I knew it!

945
01:30:09,951 --> 01:30:11,816
It's not true!
You can.

946
01:30:12,353 --> 01:30:13,479
No!

947
01:30:15,457 --> 01:30:18,017
What's wrong? You
were doing fine.

948
01:30:18,526 --> 01:30:20,016
No, I wasn't!

949
01:30:20,528
 --> 01:30:23,929
It's true. Let's continue.

950
01:32:33,595 --> 01:32:37,793
Delicious! Now I remember.

951
01:32:37,799 --> 01:32:40,597
I
 haven't eaten
fora while.

952
01:32:42,203 --> 01:32:43,932
Have some.

953
01:32:45,673 --> 01:32:47,641
Shall I peel it?

954
01:32:51,679 --> 01:32:53,374
Sour...

955
01:34:13,361 --> 01:34:17,092
You should play this sforzando
here more forcefully.

956
01:34:17,098 --> 01:34:21,694
But, it occurs many times,
so it might be too persistent.

957
01:34:21,703 --> 01:34:26,231
But occasional persistence is
characteristic of Beethoven.

958
01:34:26,975 --> 01:34:29,876
Yes... I'm feeling
weak lately, so

959
01:34:29,877 --> 01:34:32,869
it's better to play
it more forcefully.

960
01:34:47,729 --> 01:34:50,061
I don't agree with that.

961
01:34:51,466 --> 01:34:53,434
What's wrong?

962
01:34:53,968 --> 01:34:56,732
Beethoven's instructions.

963
01:34:56,738 --> 01:34:59,536
It's crescendo...
decrescendo.

964
01:34:59,540 --> 01:35:01,405
Yours is flat.

965
01:35:01,409 --> 01:35:04,310
That's the climax of
this difficult part.

966
01:35:04,312 --> 01:35:04,676
Don't ignore it.

967
01:35:04,679 --> 01:35:06,476
Then you play!

968
01:35:08,316 --> 01:35:11,342
It's no use for me to play...

969
01:35:56,464 --> 01:35:59,490
I got it. Thank you.

970
01:37:34,095 --> 01:37:36,791
Yuki, you made it.

971
01:37:37,999 --> 01:37:39,364
Taki...

972
01:37:45,907 --> 01:37:48,273
I did it!

973
01:37:50,545 --> 01:37:52,513
Yes, you did it.

974
01:37:52,513 --> 01:37:54,811
Taki, thank you.

975
01:38:18,072 --> 01:38:23,009
You helped me to regain
my confidence.

976
01:38:24,979 --> 01:38:26,674
Me, too.

977
01:38:28,115 --> 01:38:33,018
Yuki, I also lost
myself in Germany.

978
01:38:36,457 --> 01:38:41,292
But, because I struggled
with you to play the

979
01:38:41,295 --> 01:38:44,958
''Appasionata,'' I also
found myself.

980
01:38:45,566 --> 01:38:48,933
You, too, Taki?
Is it true?

981
01:38:49,503 --> 01:38:52,995
Yes. But it's all right now.

982
01:39:01,782 --> 01:39:05,274
Taki, please compose...

983
01:39:06,787 --> 01:39:10,279
Write wonderful
piano music...

984
01:39:10,291 --> 01:39:12,623
Piano music?

985
01:39:12,627 --> 01:39:15,027
I'd like to play it.

986
01:39:16,864 --> 01:39:21,164
I see. I'll write
a song for you.

987
01:39:22,637 --> 01:39:25,333
For me? Truly?

988
01:39:26,907 --> 01:39:31,173
I promise.

989
01:39:33,381 --> 01:39:35,611
I'm happy.

990
01:39:36,617 --> 01:39:40,178
Oh, I've found
something cute...

991
01:39:41,289 --> 01:39:43,723
Just like you and me.

992
01:39:43,791 --> 01:39:44,519
Us?

993
01:39:45,026 --> 01:39:46,118
Yes.

994
01:39:47,628 --> 01:39:49,357
Come in.

995
01:40:01,442 --> 01:40:03,137
These.

996
01:40:03,644 --> 01:40:05,771
Wait... I need some water.

997
01:41:17,852 --> 01:41:19,444
Taki...

998
01:41:20,621 --> 01:41:22,316
Taki?

999
01:41:29,797 --> 01:41:31,458
Taki.

1000
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:34,966
Wait! Where are
you going?

1001
01:41:34,969 --> 01:41:36,493
Come back!

1002
01:41:36,504 --> 01:41:37,971
Taki!

1003
01:42:06,367 --> 01:42:10,269
Taki! Come back, please!

1004
01:42:19,814 --> 01:42:23,511
Why? Tell me why?

1005
01:42:27,421 --> 01:42:31,357
I never saw Taki again.

1006
01:42:32,226 --> 01:42:37,061
It was our destiny
not to meet again.

1007
01:42:39,834 --> 01:42:44,567
December, Meiji 34 (1901 ) hospitalized
at the Leipzig University Hospital

1008
01:42:50,744 --> 01:42:54,703
Next, we'll discuss the
status of Rentaro Taki

1009
01:42:54,715 --> 01:42:57,206
who is currently
studying in Germany.

1010
01:42:57,218 --> 01:43:00,483
The Ministry of Education
recently informed us his

1011
01:43:00,488 --> 01:43:04,083
health has deteriorated,
and we accept his request

1012
01:43:04,091 --> 01:43:06,753
to leave school and
return to Japan.

1013
01:43:09,230 --> 01:43:10,390
Sir...

1014
01:43:13,434 --> 01:43:15,493
Affidavit...

1015
01:43:15,503 --> 01:43:17,562
Akataro Shimazaki...

1016
01:43:17,571 --> 01:43:21,507
We bestow this mission of
being the fourth student

1017
01:43:21,509 --> 01:43:26,139
to be sent abroad to study
music by the Ministry.

1018
01:43:26,146 --> 01:43:27,909
To Germany...

1019
01:43:27,915 --> 01:43:30,816
To study piano and composition.

1020
01:43:30,818 --> 01:43:34,481
March 10 Meiji 35 (1902)...

1021
01:43:34,488 --> 01:43:37,082
Dairo Kikuchi, Minister
of Education...

1022
01:43:51,105 --> 01:43:53,073
Shimazaki is thirty-two.

1023
01:43:53,073 --> 01:43:56,008
His dedication has finally
been recognized.

1024
01:43:56,577 --> 01:43:58,204
He must be very pleased.

1025
01:43:58,212 --> 01:44:00,077
Let's have a fine
party forhim.

1026
01:44:02,416 --> 01:44:07,080
Yuki is doing very
well in Germany.

1027
01:44:07,988 --> 01:44:10,252
It seems so. I heard
Vienna is next.

1028
01:44:10,824 --> 01:44:13,384
A concert in Vienna.
Marvelous.

1029
01:44:13,394 --> 01:44:15,453
Because she's Japanese.

1030
01:44:16,030 --> 01:44:17,998
In any case, it's great.

1031
01:44:17,998 --> 01:44:20,489
Yuki is really our
best student.

1032
01:44:20,501 --> 01:44:23,436
Not only in school, but
the pride of Japan.

1033
01:44:23,470 --> 01:44:25,802
Haven't we forgotten Taki?

1034
01:44:29,143 --> 01:44:31,941
Taki was also talented.

1035
01:44:31,946 --> 01:44:35,643
Japan and we drove
him to the limit.

1036
01:44:44,058 --> 01:44:46,891
I warned him not to
crack under pressure.

1037
01:44:51,832 --> 01:44:56,735
''The mountains of Hakone
are very steep,

1038
01:44:56,737 --> 01:45:01,197
''much steeper than
Hanguguan.

1039
01:45:01,208 --> 01:45:07,044
''High mountains find deep
valleys surround us.''

1040
01:45:07,715 --> 01:45:10,684
Dear Taki, how is
your health lately?

1041
01:45:11,719 --> 01:45:14,882
Today, our school
got a piano.

1042
01:45:14,888 --> 01:45:17,914
I wish you were here
to see how happy my

1043
01:45:17,925 --> 01:45:21,190
students are singing
your songs.

1044
01:45:22,596 --> 01:45:29,229
''The winding mountain
roads are slippery

1045
01:45:29,236 --> 01:45:36,233
''with moss. No one
has been here before.

1046
01:45:36,243 --> 01:45:42,341
''A brave warrior who
had been travelling

1047
01:45:42,349 --> 01:45:47,218
''carrying a big sword
marches while striding

1048
01:45:47,221 --> 01:45:54,889
''over huge rocks. That's
how warriors once were.''

1049
01:46:25,325 --> 01:46:27,384
Rentaro is...

1050
01:46:34,501 --> 01:46:36,799
Rentaro. What's this?

1051
01:46:38,405 --> 01:46:41,966
Father, I want to
return to Tokyo.

1052
01:46:42,943 --> 01:46:46,140
I must finish
something there.

1053
01:46:47,581 --> 01:46:49,640
But your health?

1054
01:46:50,350 --> 01:46:54,787
You're sick, so no one
will associate with you.

1055
01:46:54,788 --> 01:46:57,689
You'd better recover first.

1056
01:46:58,358 --> 01:47:01,259
Father... Mother...

1057
01:47:01,261 --> 01:47:04,526
I can't stand being
idle in Takeda.

1058
01:47:04,531 --> 01:47:08,865
If I stay here, it means my time
in Germany was wasted.

1059
01:47:08,869 --> 01:47:12,532
People will quickly forget me.

1060
01:47:12,539 --> 01:47:16,737
Regardless of my health,
I must go again.

1061
01:47:16,744 --> 01:47:20,805
I want people to know
I exist. Forgive me.

1062
01:47:23,417 --> 01:47:25,476
Absolutely not!

1063
01:47:26,086 --> 01:47:28,316
Mother...

1064
01:47:28,322 --> 01:47:32,383
Rentaro, I beg you.
Don't go.

1065
01:47:33,660 --> 01:47:39,155
Rentaro, you'll encounter
hardship in Tokyo.

1066
01:47:40,267 --> 01:47:44,135
You'll be miserable.
Are you prepared?

1067
01:47:47,274 --> 01:47:48,241
Yes.

1068
01:47:49,443 --> 01:47:51,172
Please.

1069
01:47:51,178 --> 01:47:53,578
Don't stop him.

1070
01:47:54,481 --> 01:47:57,177
You should go to Tokyo.

1071
01:48:03,757 --> 01:48:05,725
Hey! Stop.

1072
01:48:06,827 --> 01:48:08,158
Stop!

1073
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,626
Young man, do you
need a doctor?

1074
01:48:17,137 --> 01:48:21,506
It's okay. Take me
to the port.

1075
01:48:21,508 --> 01:48:23,635
I must go to Tokyo.

1076
01:48:25,312 --> 01:48:26,779
This is terrible.

1077
01:48:26,780 --> 01:48:29,112
You must see a doctor.
Let's go.

1078
01:48:39,259 --> 01:48:40,692
Yuki...

1079
01:48:41,295 --> 01:48:42,762
It's rehearsal time.

1080
01:48:43,397 --> 01:48:45,456
Please, send this letter.

1081
01:48:46,433 --> 01:48:48,298
Rentaro Taki. who's that?

1082
01:48:48,969 --> 01:48:50,698
I want to return to Japan.

1083
01:48:50,704 --> 01:48:52,934
Alter the concert season.

1084
01:48:52,940 --> 01:48:55,568
That's too late. My beloved is

1085
01:48:55,576 --> 01:48:57,134
very sick. Let me go back.

1086
01:48:57,778 --> 01:48:59,803
Yuki, compose yourself.

1087
01:49:15,629 --> 01:49:19,963
Tchaikovsky ''Piano Concerto
No. 1 in B-Flat Minor''

1088
01:51:36,370 --> 01:51:41,273
''DearTaki, when I recall our
sudden parting that day

1089
01:51:41,274 --> 01:51:47,543
''it causes me great sorrow.

1090
01:51:47,547 --> 01:51:53,816
''Why did you leave me alone?

1091
01:51:53,854 --> 01:51:58,791
''I was distraught
trying to understand.

1092
01:51:58,792 --> 01:52:02,489
''Later, I was surprised
to discover you were sick

1093
01:52:02,496 --> 01:52:04,987
''and returned to Japan.

1094
01:52:04,998 --> 01:52:11,301
''Now I know it was your
kind consideration of me.

1095
01:52:12,305 --> 01:52:17,834
''Taki, please regain
your health quickly.

1096
01:52:17,844 --> 01:52:22,611
''After this season, I'll
return to Japan immediately

1097
01:52:22,616 --> 01:52:28,145
''to meet you. Then we'll
come back to Europe.

1098
01:52:28,155 --> 01:52:31,955
''And finally be
happy together.''

1099
01:53:52,973 --> 01:53:57,535
Your room is ready
at the inn.

1100
01:53:57,544 --> 01:54:00,377
You can use the school
annex organ.

1101
01:54:00,380 --> 01:54:02,712
Father got approval.

1102
01:54:04,050
 --> 01:54:05,381
Yes.

1103
01:54:11,958 --> 01:54:15,416
You're so thin...

1104
01:54:22,035 --> 01:54:24,094
Mother...

1105
01:54:25,972 --> 01:54:28,236
Don't cry.

1106
01:54:36,783
 --> 01:54:38,250
I'm leaving.

1107
01:54:40,453 --> 01:54:44,412
Father, thank you for your
help with the organ.

1108
01:54:56,336 --> 01:54:58,668
Now we're leaving.

1109
01:55:06,913 --> 01:55:11,543
Rentaro isn't
ours, after all.

1110
01:55:11,551 --> 01:55:16,181
He belongs to music.

1111
01:55:18,625 --> 01:55:22,959
That's how you feel.

1112
01:55:22,996 --> 01:55:26,557
No. Rentaro is
ours, after all.

1113
01:57:19,045 --> 01:57:23,573
Chopin ''Piano Concerto
No. 1 in E Minor''

1114
01:59:09,055 --> 01:59:11,353
You were wonderful.

1115
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:16,788
This is a parcel for you.

1116
01:59:19,499 --> 01:59:21,194
Yoshihiro Taki...?

1117
01:59:27,807 --> 01:59:32,801
Last June 29, my son
Rentaro passed away.

1118
01:59:36,115 --> 01:59:42,315
Just before Rentaro died, he asked
me to send you the enclosed item.

1119
01:59:49,696 --> 01:59:56,033
''By the time you read this,
I'll no longer be alive.

1120
01:59:56,035 --> 01:59:59,402
''I wanted to return
to Germany to study

1121
01:59:59,405 --> 02:00:04,104
''music with you.
Here is the music

1122
02:00:04,110 --> 02:00:07,944
''I promised to
write for you.

1123
02:00:07,947 --> 02:00:12,145
''It's incomplete, but
I'm sending it.

1124
02:00:12,151 --> 02:00:16,019
''The truth is, I wanted
to complete it and

1125
02:00:16,022 --> 02:00:18,991
''wanted to hear
you play it.''

1126
02:00:55,728 --> 02:00:59,664

Rentaro Taki passed away

1127
02:00:59,666 --> 02:01:01,896

years and ten months.

1128
02:05:07,747 --> 02:05:11,308
