:40:04
And?
:40:07
It was really fun. I actually got to perform as an actress, too.
:40:12
But I wasn't fit for acting. So, it's not really true that I missed
the chance to become a star, unfortunately.
:40:21
But...
:40:25
Dads--either in Tokyo or the country--used to be very similar, I
believe...
:40:32
When I was in high school, I wanted to go to Tokyo at any cost, and,
well...
:40:41
I had sent a letter to Mitsuo-san for advice about my course of
action, in fact.
:40:48
Oh, really...?
:40:51
Even after I gave up, when I saw my former classmates, who hadn't been
as good at school as me, coming back from Tokyo and putting on airs,
I was really quite humiliated.
:41:02
Oh, I've changed since then. Now I have a little bit of respect for
Dad, at least. As my senior in farming.
:41:12
Anyway, I can really understand Taeko-chan's feelings.
:41:15
Oh, no--I wasn't serious about that.
:41:19
No--it's the same thing. I can understand.
:41:26
``But, we will never be discouraged.''
:41:28
``We don't want to cry, so let's laugh,'' right? It's interesting--I
also used to watch ``Hyokkori Hyohtan Island''.
:41:35
Oh, really?!
:41:37
Yeah...Machine-Gun Dandy--he was cool, wasn't he?
:41:40
Wow, he was my idol!
:41:43
I can imagine. Oh, it reminds me that we used to have so many
encouraging songs back in those days--don't you think so?
:41:50
Ummm, there was the another one in ``Hyokkori Hyohtan Island''....Oh!
:41:52
``If today is not good, There will be tomorrow.''
:41:56
``If tomorrow is not good, There will be the next day.''
:41:58
``If the next day is not good, There will be the day after that.''
