July 1, 2009: The first day of the Umihiraki and the Ama season...AND the opening day of the Ama Cafe.

Well, I still sorta hate it up to now. But I love it.. I love this Ama Cafe!... And for you to help change my dislike for this place, and make me love it? It's really awesome!" Aki tells her mom to quit praising her because she's starting to feel uneasy. Haruko: "Oh, yeah? You don't like it? You're aweso
