Kosugi.

Let go of him.

But...

It's okay.

Police! Arrest Kosugi for striking a superior officer.

Yes, sir.

Oh, those boys?

The reason you got violent

at Headquarters was that...

you opposed sending them to the front,

then you chomped on the Deputy Officer.

Hmm...

What's going on over there?

That is the military band.

I'm talking about that song.

It's probably a memorial song

for Apprentice Officer Obara.

"Out to Sea" should be the memorial song.

"Out to Sea" is too sad. Obara was around 22 or 23.

His life was cut too short. Too pitiful.

At least send him off with a lively song.

Don't you think so?

Not my feeling.

I hear it as an affront to career servicemen

and as a resistance to military organization.

Commander Sakuma here.

Giving command.

Salute! Eyes right.

Eyes front!

Reporting. 2nd class Private Harada,

Military Band Unit. 13 members.

We have come to perform for your troops.

Thanks.

Thanks, but my unit rejects your offer.

Huh?

By command from Headquarters...

You will now be treated as ordinary soldiers.

The reason. The War Cabinet sees music

as unnecessary to fighting a war.

Leave your instruments here.

Practice war songs on the premise

until further command.

But... just don't go to Yasukuni Shrine.

You'll be treated badly by the other gods.

It's good you're going out first class.

Even demons disappear.

You do so, too.

You listen to this mortician's words.

I've been a mortician for 25 years, you know.

Full of mercy, rightly take the sword.

Zoo-san. We're not open yet.

I thought you were already open for business.

A new woman came today?

I already gave her a key.

You have a good nose for business.

Don't know if it's my nose or where else.

Where is she?

Room Yoshiwara? Room Tamadon?

Room Shinjuku 2-chome.

Hey.

So you were here.

It's Netsu-san.

Your love for Kosugi even brought

you all the way to the front line.

The closer I get to the front line, the higher my price.

That's not the only reason.

Kosugi's really got a hold of you.

Yeah. I'm his warhorse.

Where Kosugi-san goes to battle, I go too.

I feel sorry for him.

Kosugi-san... again?

Yeah.

He'll be up for court-martial tomorrow.

It's serious this time too?

Very serious. He can't avoid it.

How about it, Oharu.

Time for the horse to change riders, you think?

Kosugi and I are basically the same.

We entered the military the same

time, have the same rank.

And you...

could cause 5 or 6 men to cry in one evening.

Maybe they cried for their own reasons.

What's going on with her.

...that's what they're saying.

Those old battle-worn hags cried while saying that.

I thought it had an impact on me.

Oharu.

What's the difference between Kosugi and me.
