[Kumiko and Daniel catch up after seeing each other again at Tomi Village Green]
After graduation, I joined the Hijikata Tatsumi Dance Company and we traveled all around the world, Sydney, Paris, Singapore..
So you got your dream. That's terrific. You got a favorite place?
Hai, London.
Ah, let me guess, the tea.
[laughs at the English tea reference] No, I got to see the Cranberries open up for Radiohead; 1995, they played Zombie, Linger and Dreams.
[short pause] So when did you start teaching?
After I moved back to Okinawa, Aunt Yukie got sick, and this has always been my home.
I'm sorry to hear she passed. I know she was proud of you.
Arigato... although I know she wanted me to get married, I stayed - what was your word for it, a free agent?
Come on, I'm supposed to believe that a guy never got a ring on that finger?
Many tried, but... none of them fought to the death for me.
It's a hard act to follow!
Salut.
I'm sorry this is absolutely surreal. I feel like I haven't seen you in like five minutes, but its been over 30 years... [Kumiko nods in assent] 30 years!
Maybe if we had Facebook and Instagram back then, we would have never lost touch. [pauses] Why did you come back to Okinawa, Daniel-san?
I told you my business is, not bad..
No. Why did you really come back?
I got my dream too, you know. I have an incredible family. I have my own business, I should be counting my blessings, but so many things have been going sideways for me lately, everybody looks to me for answers, and I'm spinning around so much I can't tell which way is up.
I used to have this nightmare that I had to go on stage and did not know the choreography. I felt out of control.
Exactly. I used to go to Mr Miyagi for help, but you know, I'm the same age now as Mr Miyagi was when he met me. He had it all figured out, I wish he could be here to help guide me.
[face lights up] I think I can make it happen.
