Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 214
On the same day of the weekend, two young girls, Sachiko Puchi and Junko Aoyama, happily spent their holiday time.

They first went to see the movie "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter" which is currently being released.

This movie is based on traditional Japanese literature. A fairy in the moon descends to the world and turns into a three-inch-long little girl who lives in a bamboo tube. She is picked up by an old man who cuts bamboo in the mountains. After three months, she grows into a A young and beautiful girl named Kaguya Hime.

Kaguya Ji's beauty is so captivating that all men in the world do not want to marry her and try their best to please her. Returning to the Moon Palace, such a story.

This story is known to everyone in Japan, comparable to the Seven Fairies of the Rabbit Country.

Since the era of silent films, this story has been continuously put on 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 like Ichikawa Kun, and the old man who chops bamboo is the famous old actor Toshiro Mifune in the world, and Kaguya Hime is set to be a big beauty. If the actor is not good, she will become Ximen. The role of Xiao Henhen was played by the high-profile actress Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Such a beauty is very convincing to play Kaguya Ji.

People who walk into the cinema, even if they are picky about the changed plot, or find it funny that Kaguya Ji returns to the moon to be greeted by a UFO, will not feel that the chosen heroine is not beautiful enough.

In the mid-80s, that is, after the Plaza Accord, a large amount of money poured into the film industry, and films invested by Japan can be seen all over the world.

However, as long as you are not a hot-headed upstart, you can see the irreversible decline of Japanese movies.The downhill road that has been going downhill since the 70s, especially the popularity of video tapes, has dealt a heavy blow to the film industry.

The companies that continuously made small pink movies were impacted by the small movies starting with the word A and shrank their theaters until they closed down.

In this way, well-known directors or themes with guaranteed box office are more likely to get sponsorship.

After watching the movie, it was almost noon.

Restaurants on rest days are often overcrowded, and the two girls can only find a restaurant that doesn't have to wait too long.After dinner, I went shopping again, walked past one fashion store after another, tried on clothes happily, and played until evening.

As long as you start shopping, it seems that you have endless energy.However, as soon as you stop, it's like a switch is turned off, and you start to feel quite tired.

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

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

Sachiko Kawachi also thought it was good, so the two girls continued today's date again and went to eat hot pot together. It was not until around [-] o'clock in the evening that Sachiko Kamachi said goodbye to her friends and went to Shinjuku Station. home tram.

There is a direct train from Shinjuku Station to Hadano City in Kanagawa Prefecture.The whole journey takes about one and a half hours, starting at eight o'clock, and it will be almost 09:30 when we arrive at the station closest to home.

Kawachi Sachiko got off the car and walked out of the station.

At this time, if it were in Tokyo, it would be the time when people were buzzing.But here, only one or two small restaurants and convenience stores are still lit in front of the station, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Qinye is such a deserted small town.

Sachiko Kuchi took out coins from the coin purse, put them into the payphone, and dialed home.

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

It is a cautious thing for a single woman to walk alone at night.It is even more frightening to go through the dark tunnel.Sachiko Puchi hung up the phone and stepped forward. 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 very quiet inside, only the sound of my own footsteps could be heard.

Walking a third of the way, the light and shadow of a beam of flashlight from the opposite side came.Puchi Xingzi noticed the flickering light, and felt warm in her heart, and immediately felt very relieved, and her steps became brisk.

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

This is the tacit understanding between Puchi Sachiko and her mother.The distance from home to this tunnel is about the same as from the station to this tunnel.Not only Sachiko Puchi is afraid of single women walking alone at night, but also the mother at home is also worried.

So the mother and daughter agreed that when Sachiko Kawachi arrived at the station, she would call her in front of the station. After that, the two of them set off at the same time.

Ever since she joined Kanzaki Real Estate, except for holidays, every night was unshakeable, that was the case.

I live in Hadano, but go to work in Shinjuku. For this reason, I have to get ready to go out at seven o'clock every morning. On weekdays, I wait until I get home after get off work, and it is almost after 08:30. I spend three hours a day on the way to and from get off work. Almost lost his own life.

Sachiko Puchi has such perseverance to go back and forth between the two places to work. The classmates and friends who stayed at Qinye, or colleagues in Tokyo, were all surprised by this incident and surprised by her resilience.

The father at home often advised her that she might as well come back from Tokyo and find a job nearby.Only my mother, during the past six months, came to the tunnel to wait for her without any complaints.

Walking to the end of the tunnel, Sachiko Puchi saw her mother, quickened her pace, and walked over, "Mother!"

"Did you have fun in Tokyo?" Mom smiled.

Sachiko Puchi nodded and replied with a smile, "Very happy."

The mother turned off the flashlight, and the mother and daughter walked shoulder to shoulder for the last part of the way home.As soon as she returned to her mother, Sachiko Kawachi became a talkative and lively girl, describing to her mother the movies she watched today and the shops she visited.

The mother, who is a housewife, seems to regard this Qinye as a good camp. She rarely even goes to Tokyo, repeats the same life almost every day, and never leaves Qinye's circle.

Because of this, she always smiled and listened to what Sachiko Kawachi described.

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

Sachiko Puchi didn't want to disappoint her mother, and she was a little hungry on the way back from Shinjuku. "Then eat some more. The hamburger made by my mother is the best."

"Okay." Mother smiled contentedly.
