On the same weekend, Sachiko Kamaike and Junko Aoyama, two young girls, spent their holiday time happily.

First, they went to see the recently released movie "The Tale of Taketori".

This movie is based on the traditional classical literature, the fairy in the moon descends to the earth, turns into a three-inch-long little girl to live in a bamboo tube, is picked up by the old man who cuts bamboo in the mountains, and grows into a beautiful girl three months later, named Kaguyahime.

Kaguya's beauty is overwhelming, all men in the world don't want to marry her, and do everything they can to please her, but Kaguya is unmoved, the emperor wants to marry her, and she will never obey her fate, and finally return to the Moon Palace from the world, such a story.

This story is known to everyone in this book, which is comparable to the seven fairies of the rabbit country.

Since the era of silent films, this story has been continuously brought to the big screen as a repertoire, but in terms of production lineup and investment, this version is still the largest.

The director is a famous artist with a brilliant resume like Ichikawa Kun, and the old man who chops bamboo is an old drama bone Toshiro Mifune, who is very famous in the world, and Kaguyahime is set up as a big beauty, and if the actor is not picked well, it will become the role of Ximen's little hatred, so the high-profile actress Yasuko Sawaguchi was used.

Such a big beauty to play Kaguyahime is still very convincing.

People who walk into the movie theater will not find the chosen heroine beautiful enough, even if they find fault with the plot that has been changed by the devil, or if they are funny at the honey picture that Kaguya Hime came to greet when she returned to the moon, it turned out to be a UFO.

In the mid-80s, after the Plaza Accord, a lot of money poured into the film industry, and you can see films all over the world.

However, as long as you are not a hot-brained nouveau riche, you can see the irretrievable decline of this movie. The non-stop decline since the seventies, especially the popularity of videotapes, has dealt a heavy blow to the film industry.

Even the companies that shoot small pink movies are impacted by small movies starting with the word A to shrink their theaters until they close their doors.

In this way, more people who can get sponsorship are well-known directors or themes with guaranteed box office.

After watching the movie, it was almost noon.

Restaurants on days off are often overcrowded, and the two girls have to find a restaurant where they don't have to wait too long. After eating, I went shopping, and I walked by one fashion store after another, happily tried on clothes, and played until the evening.

As soon as you start shopping, it seems that you have an inexhaustible amount of energy. However, as soon as I stopped, it was like the switch was turned off, and I started to feel quite tired.

In the evening, the two took a break at the café in the department store.

Junko Aoyama had a lively day and didn't want to have dinner alone, so she proposed to try a recently opened Kagoshima restaurant, "I heard that even the ingredients are flown in from Kagoshima, so let's go and have a luxury, Sachiko." ”

Sachiko Kamaike also thought it was good, so the two girls continued today's date again and went to eat hot pot together, until it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, when Sachiko Kamaike said goodbye to her friends, went to Shinjuku Station, and took the train home.

From Shinjuku Station to Hatano City in Kanagawa Prefecture, there is a direct train. The whole journey takes about an hour and a half, leaving at eight o'clock, and by the time we reach the nearest station to our home, it will be almost half past nine.

Sachiko Kamaike got off the train and walked out of the station.

At this time, if you are in Tokyo, it is the time when the crowd is buzzing. But here, there are only one or two small restaurants and convenience stores left in front of the station, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Qinye is such a deserted town.

Sachiko Kamaike took out a coin from her coin purse, put it into the payphone, and dialed it home.

From the station to home, there is still a walk of about ten minutes, and there is a dark tunnel in the middle.

It is inherently a cautious thing for a single woman to walk alone at night. Having to go through the black tunnel again is even more terrifying. Sachiko Kamaike hung up the phone and walked forward, and when she reached the entrance of the tunnel, she took a closer look before stepping in.

The dim light barely illuminated the tunnel, and it was quiet inside, except for the sound of one's own footsteps.

When I walked to the third of the way, the light and shadow of a flashlight on the opposite side came to me. Sachiko Kamaike noticed the swaying light, and her heart warmed, and she immediately arrived with great relief, and her steps became brisk.

She knew that her mother was waiting at the exit of the tunnel.

This is the tacit understanding between Sachiko Kamaike and her mother. The journey from home to this tunnel is about the same as from the station to this tunnel. A single woman walks alone at night, and not only Sachiko Kamaike is afraid, but her mother at home is also relieved.

So the mother and daughter agreed that after Sachiko Kamaike arrived at the station, she would call her in front of the station, and after that, the two of them set off at the same time, and when Sachiko Kamaike walked into the tunnel, her mother was waiting for her on the other side.

Since she joined Kanzaki Real Estate, except for holidays, thunder can't be moved every night, it's the same.

I live in Qinye, but I go to work in Shinjuku, so I have to prepare to go out at seven o'clock in the morning every day, and when I get home from work on weekdays, it is almost after half past eight, and three hours a day are spent on the way to and from work, and I almost lose my own life.

Sachiko Kamaike has such perseverance to work back and forth between the two places, and her classmates and friends who stayed on Qin Ye's side, or her colleagues in Tokyo, were surprised by this incident and were amazed by her resilience.

Her father often advised her that she might as well come back from Tokyo and look for a job nearby. Only my mother, who came to the tunnel to wait for her without complaint for most of the year.

Almost to the end of the tunnel, Sachiko Kamaike saw her mother's figure, quickened her steps, and walked over, "Mother!"

"Have fun in Tokyo?" said the mother, smiling.

Sachiko Kamaike nodded and replied with a smile, "I'm very happy." ”

The mother extinguished the flashlight, and the mother and daughter walked side by side on the last leg of the journey home. As soon as she returned to her mother, Sachiko Kamaike became a talkative and lively girl, describing to her mother the movies she had seen and the shops she had visited today.

As a housewife's mother, she seems to regard this Qin Ye as a camp, and she rarely goes to Tokyo, repeating the same life almost every day, and never leaving Qin Ye's circle.

Because of this, when Sachiko Kamaike describes things, she always listens with a smile.

When she got home, her mother asked her, "I made hamburger meat tonight, do you want to eat some more later?"

Sachiko Kamaike didn't want to live up to her mother's wishes, and she was a little hungry on the way back from Shinjuku, "Then it's better to eat a little more, the hamburger meat made by my mother is the best." ”

"Okay. The mother smiled contentedly.
