Tamako in Moratorium
Tamako!
Toilet!
This one?
It is 10,395 yen.
New students typically choose this one.
Look.
See for the young and inconspicuous.
If so I choose this one.
Hey.
Where are you going?
Shop.
Tamako-chan?
Yes?
You're back?
You're so beautiful.
Tamako.
This is it, what colour do you want?
There is red and blue.
I choose the red.
All right.
Add 25.5 yen for the red.
All right.
Enjoy your meal.
Vain Japanese.
Enjoy your meal.
Excuse me?
Yes?
I'm Anu, I came to book a basketball shoe.
My father is not here.
When will he be back?
I do not know.
This one?
It's good...
... but the price is too expensive.
Oh.
This?
My friend already has it.
Is that so.
It's hard to choose.
Well...how about this one?
Ah! This, I also agree.
This is great.
Better than before.
You're definitely fit to wear these shoes.
Yes.
Enjoy your meal.
Vain.
Are you sick?
No.
Have you tried looking for a job?
Then you went to college for what?
To not do nothing after graduation.
Just eat, sleep, and read manga.
Japan is not useless, but you're useless!
In time I will be looking for work!
When?
When? When?
Soon...
... Not now.
Thank you Uncle, Happy New Year.
Put the racquet in my basket.
Thank you.
You're scarf is falling.
Really?
All good.
Thank you.
Night...
Yo-Chan.
Thank you.
I brought dinner.
Where your father?
Cooking.
This is your new year dinner.
You shouldn't have bothered.
It's for a few days.
Maybe for the next three days.
Its so cold.
Good night.
Is Non-chan here?
She will be very late, she'll be here once her job is in order.
Her husband works New Year's Eve?
For their son.
His company gives quick assistance.
You want to wait?
No, I'm late.
I'm accompanying grandmother to hospital.
Tomorrow we'll come visit.
Tamako too, right?
Yes.
Happy New Year.
Goodnight.
Eating or playing with the phone, choose one.
Hey.
I'm sending new year greetings to my friends.
Finish your meal first, then continue later.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Snip!
I won.
I'm at home?
It was just a dream.
Creepy.
Heard from Mum?
She has not to returned my calls.
She has also not been calling.
True.
When I called last month, she said she'll call again.
And she said she would go to Bali.
Do not go with Tabata-san, it's a travel company.
Should I go away with her?
With other people.
They are all parents, I do not want to.
No matter who you're going with, the goal remains the same.
How about it?
No, really no.
He's back.
I'm home.
Welcome.
Dad, Happy New Year.
Happy new year.
Tamako?
- Tamako? - Watching TV.
Is that so?
It is.
Is there New year's cake?
Loads.
Tamako, please help with the luggage.
Tamako.
It's done now. Is it OK?
Yes.
Thank you.

Tamako, dinner.
Enjoy your meal.
Hey, I want to buy clothes.
What clothes?
Formal clothes.
To interview.
Buy.
Sneezing again.
Do you have seasonal allergies?
Yes, since last year.
Once, I sneezed while singing.
About three days ago, Tamako visited the temple.
Is she here?
No, she's out.
Her face looked serious while praying at the shrine.
Is she's looking for a job?
She did not say anything.
She also bought a good luck talisman.
I gave her one.
Finally the time came.
That's all right.
Should I open?
You're allowed.
Was your uncle okay with it?
Yes.
He's filming for a show and registration is not yet finished.
What kind of style do you want?
Natural feel.
Natural?
Natural.
Silence.
All right.
You can't tell anyone about this.
When will it be ready?
I'll try as soon as possible.
Tama-chan.
For you.
What is it?
It...
Something...Nice.
I must shower first.
How much is it?
You do not need to know.
Know, what?
You do not need to know.
How much?
It's not important.
Why suddenly open the door?
Return it.
It's nothing really.
No need to, return it.
Close the door and leave.
How much is it?
It's okay, go.
Tamako, I'll clean your room.
I am now, not the real me.
During the life of this world, each person has a role.
When I become someone else, it feels normal.
Please give a new name to me.
Tamako-chan.
Yes?
Come here.
Here you are.
You already know him.
Sasamoto.
Hello.
What is it?
Enjoy your meal.
I'm pleased.
Tamako, no matter what it is.
If you want to do something,
I'll support you.
Stop already!
Say no more!
Do not talk!
You are beautiful.
Certainly, take it easy.
I really hate this.
Hate!
Tamako?
Tamako!
Ashiya-san.
Long time no see, I've just arrived.
When did you get back?
Recently.
Have you met my friends?
Not yet...
Why are you nervous?
You see, I'm here to met with Manami and others.
Ah yes?
You have not met them.
Is that Mako?
Mako?
Mako, long time no see!
- Yuko! Long time no see - You're all grown up.
Stop.
Bye, see you later.
If you have time contact me huh?
I'll be in touch.
Yes.
Mako, long time no see.
You forgot my number again?
What! Its Tamako?
Kofu Sports Tamako?
It's cold.
Don't!
The temperature is too low.
You look cold.
Not really.
Allow me to cool, it makes me comfortable.
Your body cannot help it.
Playing ball in this heat.
That's what young people do.
I'm not that kind of person.
People are different.
What do you mean?
Nothing, just be yourself.
Do you know a good activity?
No.
What's for dinner tonight?
You want what to eat?
Meat.
Pig?
Cows.
Let's make a hamburger.
I forgot to met with the pastor, to discuss the memorial service.
How about the hamburger?
Lunch was ordered from Yoshida, same as before.
The people who come from Tokyo, will be satisfied with it.
Arrange it.
Yoshiko?
Yes?
Tomorrow please call Yoshida.
All right.
The place was pretty decent too.
There is no other place like it.
Speaking of Shin-chan, how about it?
What?
Yoko-san, she's classy.
Did you meet?
How ya...
Well, all right.
What are you doing there?
I became a matchmaker for your dad.
Matchmaker?
I introduced some candidates to Shin-chan.
Seriously?
What? Who? Who? Who?
Yo-chan, do not tell her.
Do so, who?
From Orion road, the building with large trees.
With the grade accessories, you know?
Natural stone.
I do not know, continue?
There is teacher with a good personality, I love her.
Five years ago, she divorced her husband.
She's a woman who lives alone.
She has not had children.
I immediately introduced her to your father.
Single men must be lonely.
That's now.
Tamako-chan, will not be a stay-at-home mother.
Yes, that's true.
If Shin-chan can find a good woman, Tamako-chan could then leave in peace.
Yes.
What's she like?
The accessory teacher.
No one.
You've met?
No. So what?
You-chan thought it was fun to introduce us.
Maybe she is not interested in you.
Maybe.
I'm home.
Wait a minute.
Get rid of this.
What?
There is a place that I wanted to go with you.
Where?
I was busy with love and community activities, I'm not a slacker.
Sorry, I have to go.
Who is she?
The sports store clerk.
You like her?
She threatened you?
No, take it easy.
She has no friends.
Anyway, to get the teacher's notice?
You just need to tell me what kind of person she is.
Hello.
Is this your first time?
Yes.
Well... I'm interested in the accessories.
Sit there.
I hear she has been teaching for three years.
She lives alone in an apartment.
And she has a cat.
And loves to eat udon.
Is she beautiful?
Yes, she's beautiful.
Does your father want to marry her?
Not really.
It's hot.
I knew she was not good.
How are you?
What?
I heard Yoko-san was a dangerous woman.
And many men are there in the classroom for accessories.
Says who?
Gossip.
She's a beautiful woman.
Maybe they are in class just wanting to meet her.
Sorry.
And I heard that the class...
was... established by the boss.
Never mind.
Obviously divorced, failed marriage.
Tamako, what do you think?
She's not right?
Do not speculate as if it were real.
You hate me.
Not so, I'm just saying that's how rumours spread.
You're angry. That means you like her.
I'm not angry.
You're angry.
Good afternoon.
Excuse me.
Has the glove arrived?
Yes.
Yes. It has arrived.
Yes. It's hot today?
Hello?
Hello.
A bit weird, huh?
I think that's a good thing.
Really?
Another arrangement is also good.
True.
Let me try again.
Let me see a what you've done.
- Hold it like this. - Terrific.
It is easier.
- Try it. - Like so.
Turning, turning, as it will be more comfortable to hold.
Ah yes?
It's better this way.
Okay.
Colour them higher.
This high?
Enough.
Then buckle again.
Is it a gift?
Want to give it to someone?
No.
Then, for yourself?
I had not thought about it, actually.
I think the colour blue suits you better.
But it is not suitable for father.
What does your father do?
Dad has a shop called Kofu Sports.
Could he be Ryoko-san?
Yes.
His sister is Ryoko Sakai-san-san?
Ah.
What brings you here?
Are you Tamako-san?
What did father say about me?
Not too much, I just know he's got a daughter.
He definitely must have said that his daughter was useless.
He said you two stay together.
I once had dinner with him.
He's friendly, it was a pretty fun time.
He does look good on the outside, but when he's at home he is,
Impatient.
Really?
Cannot sit for five minutes.
He always cleans when I break something.
When washing clothes, he endlessly recites the folding technique.
Though it does not look good.
So obnoxious, then don't wash clothes any more.
Indeed, his life is just pissed.
Always angry at the sight of his leg hair.
Leg hair?
When cooking dinner alone? He's too pissed.
Sakai-san's cooking?
He loves to cook.
His cooking not so delicious.
For example,when cooking spaghetti,
he added parsley.
Well, that's it.
If people are good at cooking, they would not add the parsley.
Maybe for decoration.
Aimed at who?
I still eat it.
Very uncomfortable place, even so he's never asked me to leave.
Already 23 years old, unemployed, lazy every day.
I'm like a bad daughter.
At first he spoke little, but lately not much.
His a failure as a father.
I've asked the same of Ryoko-san, why Sakai-san is not looking for a partner if he is a good person.
I understand now.
Because you're mean.
No, not so mean.
If there is a good candidate,
it's okay if he married again.
I do not mind if he married again.
Mum, are you okay?
Okay?
The situation is not good with father.
Looks like he's found a girlfriend again.
Likely get married again.
Really?
I don't want it to happen.
What should I do?
Loneliness.
It is not lonely.
Father and mother live separately.
Mum is also free.
Stay. You should talk about it.
He also felt guilty.
Also, there are some things that I cannot help you with.
Are you listening?
You need to pursue your life.
Tamako, how's Tokyo?
Bye.
Enjoy your meal.
You were at Yoko-san's class?
What were you doing?
Did Yoko-san say anything?
Nothing.
She's a good woman.
I do not mind you two.
I support you.
Oh! The father does not want live with other people!
When summer ends, You may leave this house.
It does not matter if the job does not fit.
Leave this house.
I'm qualified.
That is what?
I'm leaving after the summer.
Where to?
I've not decided yet.
Anyway, somewhere.
Basketball, still furthering?
The chances are slim.
Girlfriend?
Broke up.
Why?
Why is that,
I feel suddenly feel invisible.
That's the feeling.
Bye.
Suddenly invisible...
Have not heard that one.
