Shoichi Aoyama
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Listen, when the girls are back, tell them not to wear those dresses.
- Yuki Aoyama - Kin's sister: Why do you say that?
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: To think that they're walking around the village showing off their legs, it just makes me feel mortified.
- Yuki Aoyama - Kin's sister: [laughs] That's because you are ignorant. They're supposed to be in fashion in Tokyo.
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Whether they are or not, it's indecent for women to show their thighs like that. If they were horses or pigs, they could go around naked, but...
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Your husband returned from the war a blind man. It's awfully hard for a woman to be the breadwinner.
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: If her dance can corrupt the young men of the village, then the government shouldn't allow its performance in Tokyo. As long as it's allowed in the capital, it must be a dance worth seeing in the mountains too. Yes. I'm sure it's what they call "art."
- The principal: You've come up with quite a moneymaking scheme.
- Maruju - the transportation magnate: Well. It's all for the good of the village. To lead the way for the cultural growth of the village - how should I put it - we must present first-class art, or the village will not progress. In other words, we'll fall behind the times. That's my belief.
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Stop it! Enough of your highfalutin' nonsense! I'm Kin's father, so, I know what's going on. She always had the poorest grades in school. She was snot-nosed until she was 18. There's no way her dance is some respectable art. Everybody is just thinking it would be funny to see her naked.
- Yuki Aoyama - Kin's sister: [reading aloud a letter] "I would like to pay a visit to my dear hometown in all my present glory. Could you talk to Dad about the plan?" You see, Dad? "I'll bring a friend with me when I visit. Please talk to Father so that he won't be angry. I ask his forgiveness for running away from home. Sincerely, Lily Carmen." Please, Dad. Welcome her for the visit. It will be a triumphant homecoming. She'll bring home a lot of gifts too.
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Fool! I never had a daughter by the name of "Gigi Carmen."
- Yuki Aoyama - Kin's sister: It's not "Gigi" Carmen. but Lily Carmen!
- The principal: Art is important. Culture is the foundation of Japan.
- Shoichi Aoyama - Kin's father: Then Kin has something to do with this "culture"?
- The principal: That's right. She's helping build up our culture. We've produced a famous artist from this provincial place, our own Mount Asama must be proud of her too.
