About Her Brother Page #3

We have a surprise speaker.

Your name, sir?

I am Tetsuro Tanno,

uncle of Koharu.

Her father asked me to name her.

And I decided on Koharu,

meaning "Early Spring"...

after the beloved wife of

a famous Shogi chess master.

Thank you.

Quiet!

I'm just getting started.

The night he finally beats

his life long rival,

he speaks quietly to Koharu.

'As I stared at the board,

the rooks wept.

'They wept while I thought

which one I should move.

'Let's true. I did not win.

'I lost.

'I won the game,

but the game beat me.'

Somewhere a flute

begins to play.

'You know, Koharu...'

'Yes?'

'Should I have sent

all my students away?

'A better life

would not be bad...

'but I can't be thinking

of others...

'when I've yet to find myself.

And what does Koharu say?

'I am used to being poor.

'No matter how poor we are...

all you need to think of is Shogi.

'How wretched you must be

with a husband such as me.

'I am not wretched at all.

'Lef you are content,

then so am I.

'Koharu, be here forme

while I still live.

'Promise to become

a Master of #Shogi#.

'I will, if I have to eat

the very chessmen themselves.

'Koharu...

'Yes?

'Live forme.

'Live until I die.

'I will.

'With a heartful...

'of worries on all sides...

'in a run-down tenement...

'another year has gone.

'With no word of complaint...

'his wife, Koharu...

'She forces a smile...

'so painful to see...

Thank you! Moving right along...

Wait! There's still Act 3!

Let me sing!

Hey!

I'm sorry!

'Tomorrow I go to Tokyo... '

Tetsuro, come on!

I want to sing!

Come on!

Please!

Cut the mike!

Now, speaking for both families...

the father of the groom

will address you.

I am most humbled...

that you have taken the time to attend

the wedding of my son Yusuke...

and his bride Koharu.

They both still have much to learn.

I hope you will all provide them

with leadership and guidance...

through their lives together.

Excuse me.

That I most humbly ask.

Thank you very much.

That was the father of the groom.

Thank you very much.

Change? Keep it!

They're here.

We're back.

Hello.

He went to sleep?

What did the Terayamas say?

A lot.

They said we should have told them

about a relative like that.

And?

They don't want their grand-children

with DNA from a drunk.

His mother said that.

That's awful!

Ginko, I'm cutting my ties

with him.

He's no brother of mine.

I've had it.

You do that, too.

Don't talk like that!

This is a day of celebration!

You keep out of it.

This is between us!

But Ginko practically raised Tetsuro!

Your mother was too sick.

Ginko did everything for him!

When he was caught smoking,

she went to his school.

When he was caught shoplifting,
