"Kodomo no Omocha"
The rumor that I love you is true. Yes it is.
Whether you're awake or asleep…
You can't avoid it,
…so don't worry about it.
If I sneak into your heart by ridding you of that other love…
…is that a sin?
At sunset, when the children go home,
today's incident is burning love!
You can be sure of it!
7 O'Clock News!
Please, our relationship…
Ah, don't condemn me for a true kiss…
This town without fire…
Let's ignite it with our love!
Ah, don't live carelessly!
That's asking for too much!
I'm Kurata Sana, a 6th grader and TV personality.
My Aoki award-winning novelist Mama, and her chipmunk, Maro-chan.
My chauffeur, manager, and ex-pimp, Rei-kun.
The mysterious white bat straight man, Babbit.
DAIJO-BU!
Hayama Akito, my natural enemy and good friend, I suppose.
The man who plays my father in "Late-Night Chaos Theater," Gojo Takeshi-san.
Sana-chan?
It's so warm…
"My Boyfriend is Like a Father To Me"
I remember writing my essay…
I had to make it in time, so I wrote without sleeping…
and then the Indian panda came to make some curry with pickled veggies,
and I fell asleep…
You're still not completely awake.
Sana-chan, you're awake. Good morning.
Aah! What is Gojo-san doing in my bed!?
No, this is my bed.
What is Gojo-san's bed doing in my home!?
This is my home.
What a disgracefuloose girl I am!
May Oda Buddha-sama and Chri-holyghost-sama, forgive me!
—How could I have committed such an indiscretion —Disgracefuloose?
—with a gentleman I just barely met!? —It's a cross between "disgraceful" and "loose."
Now that it's happened, would you mind having me as your mistress, sir?
I'm not very experienced, but I beseech your everlasting favor.
Sana-chan, are you deliberately putting me on?
No…
"Sana learns the truth" Take it easy!
Oh, then I'm still a wholesome young girl.
That's embarrassing. So, what time is it?
3 o'clock.
Afternoon? Morning?
Afternoon.
Which means…
Oh, no!
I'll be late for school!
Surprised you?
What is this?
Oh, I just wanted to startle you, Sana-chan,
so after I put you to bed,
I fought back against my own drowsiness and worked hard to make that.
Don't work so hard on stuff like that!
Anyhow, take it easy.
Sana-chan, you're still wearing pajamas, and school is long since over.
Sana-chan, you're safe? Man, I rang your Burutcha over and over!
Sensei, Sana-chan is safe. She fell asleep in the park, and Gojo-san helped her out.
Hmm, and?
Gojo-san said he would bring her home now. Isn't that great?
Sana-chan, you must be hungry.
Should we get something to eat first?
Mm-hmm!
Look! Funny birds all of a sudden!
Usually, you release doves when you do that, right?
Kurata Sana and a middle-aged actor, huh? Interesting…
I'm just saying, you've got lousy taste in clothes.
"Dreaming Pro's evil scheme"
It isn't cool to eat a hamburger with both hands.
There is no style when it comes to eating.
Take-chan, you're not very cool. Minus 20 points!
Take-chan? Take-chan?
Take-chan, this one, this one.
Kurata Sana, just you watch.
You're going to be steeped in scandal.
Now, at this point, here's this week's Sana-chan.
I'm home! Take-chan brought me…
Since when have you been such a wayward young girl?
You took on the responsibility of staying up all night to write your essay.
Not only do you fall asleep on a park bench
and get taken in by a man none of us know anything about,
but you got an unexcused absence at school,
slept for hours at that man's house,
and after making one happy-go-lucky phone call home,
you finally come wandering in at this hour.
That's a fine how-do-you-do!
Gojo-san is not some man that none of us knows anything about!
It is decidedly highly possible that it could have been a man
that none of us knew anything about.
You should be grateful that you're even still alive right now.
Sensei has been worried about you this whole time.
I'm sorry, Mama…
Rei-kun, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I ought to go pay my respects to this gentleman, Gojo-san.
"Speaking of Gojo Takeshi-san…" However…
Good morning.
This morning, there is sensational news that child TV personality…
…Kurata Sana-san does indeed have a father!
Her father is middle-aged actor Gojo Takefumi-san, 41…
It's not "Takefumi," it's "Takeshi," for crying out loud…
"Father? Huh—!?"
It's always the same with them, huh?
Those bastards! This is Drea-Pro's doing!
What are they, idiots?
Huh? That's our apartment.
This is a seed that you sowed, right? Deal with it yourself.
R-r-right…
We're here in front of Kurata Sana-chan's house.
There are many reporters gathered here…
Hi! Good morning! Thank you for coming here for such an absurd scoop!
Ah, it's Sana-chan! Sana-chan has appeared!
Is it true that Gojo-san is your father?
'Course he's not.
But any way you look at these photos, it's a father with his daughter!
How come? How come it has to be a father with his daughter?
You're not father and daughter!?
No matter how you look at these photos,
it appears to be a father with his daughter, doesn't it?
Why's that? No matter how you look at them,
it looks like a couple of lovers, doesn't it?
Take-chan, are you watching? I love you, you, you!
Don't say "I love you"! Good grief, what a girl!
"She announced that they were lovers!" Don't say "I love you"! Good grief, what a girl!
Take-chan, are you watching? I love you, you, you!
—Take-chan, are you watching? I love you, you, you! —Damn it, she's a persistent little brat.
Sana-chan, not bad.
Now I'm getting angry. I'm going to have to think of what to do next.
You guys are persistent, too.
"That's all for Drea-Pro's evil schemes for today."
Sana-chan, I saw the TV this morning.
I announced that we were lovers without thinking.
I love that sort of thing. I give you 100 points.
Surprised you?
Nope. Take-chan, your same old magic tricks get 0 points.
Okay, our couple with the gossip about them, we're about ready to go!
All right, let's go, Margarine!
You bet, Honey.
"Margarine"? Does she mean "My darling"?
Okay, this is a take! Start!
Okay, cut! 20 minute break.
Really, Rumiko-chan, your performance is… how shall I say?…
you know, fit for the role of the heroine, is that what I'm saying?
Sana-chan, this is your boyfriend, who's 30 years older than you, right?
This is Gojo Takeshi-san.
I'm Gojo. "Takeshi" is written like the word for "warrior,"
plus the word for "history."
Hey, what is this? I'm the star here, right? Go say something to them, Producer!
Of course I will, Rumi-chan! I'll go give them a good talking-to!
This really won't do!
Sagami-san!
Oh, Tsu-san. Sorry about the commotion.
That's okay. It's a great help to have this many reporters here on a late-night drama.
With any luck, our ratings could go up!
But isn't the 30-year difference in your ages a bit unnatural?
No, as long as there's love, the difference in our ages is nothing.
It's not as though I'm going to be in elementary school my whole life.
In short time, I'll be in middle school, so…
I'll be in middle school soon?
In middle school?
Aah, I forgot! Tomorrow, I've got Guidance!
"Guidance" What's Guidance?
Ah, that's it, huh?
That's a line dance.
I've got some work tomorrow that I just can't get out of.
Could you ask your teacher to change this to a different day?
That's okay. I'll do what I need to by myself.
But everyone else's parents will be coming, right?
I didn't go to Natsumi's either.
No problem. It's not like I'm going to test for any other middle schools.
It's not like advancing is that big a deal.
Guidance?
What are you doing!?
I just can't make it tomorrow.
Why not!? Why not!?
I'd like to go if I could,
but tomorrow, I have an important information-gathering meeting
that has been set up for a year now.
You're mean! You're abandoning your daughter!
If it was that important a function, why did you forget about it?
You just need to listen closely to what your teachers tell you.
Okay, okay, understood! I'm going to bed!
"Singing Guidance"
♪ An interview by myself for Guidance. ♪
♪ You're so dumb, you cannot advance. ♪
♪ If you all want to laugh at me, I'll make an allowance. ♪
♪ I'll dance on the dresser for Guidance. ♪
—Good night! —All done?
Um, I realize this is sudden, but this is Gomi-kun's house.
It's still not too late, even now, Shinichi-san.
Take the entrance exam for Kaimei Middle School for me.
You'll go to Kaimei Middle School too, same as your brother.
I'm worried about your future if you go to Jinbo Middle School, Shinichi-san.
I can't get into Kaimei.
That's okay.
"Gomi's mother" I'll get a tutor for you, like we did for your brother.
"Kaimei Middle School Enrollment Guide" Your father and your brother both got into Kaimei.
"Kaimei Middle School Enrollment Guide" Kaimei Middle… Wah! This is an incredibly smart school!
Brother has always been smart. I'll be fine going to Jinbo Middle.
Shinichi-san, you can do it if you try.
I'm home.
It's your father.
Remember, Shinichi-san, you're going to Kaimei Middle with your brother.
Shinichi, you're going to test for Kaimei Middle?
"Gomi's father" Shinichi, you're going to test for Kaimei Middle?
You don't say, you don't say.
Still, I'm impressed that he's made up your mind to.
Well, sure he has…
All right, it's done!
"Go to sleep"
Yow…
"Good little children should be asleep" Get to bed!
Shinichi-san you can do it if you try.
All right, wonderful!
What do you want!?
Just kidding…
Grade-schoolers shouldn't be out playing at this hour.
Catch you later, Gomi-kun!
Bye-bye!
Dumbass!
Hayama-san…
You okay?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Doing your karate training?
Yeah.
"Babbit's drawing song"
Rice cake, bump, bump, line, line, triangle,
"Babbit's drawing song" raindrop with a heart in it, draw the wings,
"Babbit's drawing song" and it's Babbit!
"Produce a relief sculpture for graduation" Please be quiet.
"Produce a relief sculpture for graduation" I would like to discuss the relief sculpture for graduation.
"Produce a relief sculpture for graduation" Please give some suggestions as to what sort of pictures would be good.
A picture of Principal Narunaru's head!
Split end!
Oh, that might be funny, Sensei.
No. Be serious! Think seriously about this.
This is dumb.
Please think about this seriously.
It's hard to focus on graduation, huh?
We'll all be going to Jinbo Middle School together, anyhow.
Good morning!
Sana-chan, you're late.
What's that?
Ta-da!
Since my mom can't come, this is Mama Mk II!
Sana-chan, your mother isn't coming to Guidance?
"Thank you for looking after my Sana."
Any other ideas?
—Yakiniku! —Why?
—That strange white bat. —What do you mean?
—Furikake seasoning. —Huh?
Think of something more normal! This is a graduation ceremony!
"Guidance time"
After school…
I told you not to bring any candy.
But today we have something we need to
"6th Year 3rd Class Guidance Meeting Room" But today we have something we need to
"6th Year 3rd Class Guidance Meeting Room" ask of your teacher, so this is special.
Come now, Shinichi-san, your collar is crooked.
I can do it myself.
"Oh, is Father Hayama not coming?"
No.
"Oh, he's not? Well then…"
Father Mk II! Want to borrow him when I'm done?
You're causing another stir in public, like you always do, huh?
Huh? Oh, you mean Take-chan? Does that bother you?
Not really.
—I'm leaving! —Well then, goodbye.
Kurata-san, please.
All right, here goes.
Hey, this thing…
Sana-chan!
Rei-kun!
I'm her guardian.
Sana-chan, Sensei was concerned about you being by yourself,
so she asked me to accompany you.
Oh, well if you were coming, you should have said so earlier!
Sorry, sorry.
"It was a little slice of hell"
Ah! It's the wrinkled hag!
My word, this is a scandal unbecoming an elementary school student!
This is an alarming matter!
What kind of vulgar gossip is this!?
Well, about that incident…
There are a number of obstacles unique to the entertainment world,
and there are extenuating circumstances, you see…
Unique to the entertainment world?
I love you!
Well, in that case, out of respect for Zenjiro-san,
I will overlook it this time.
Why is she bringing up Zenjiro?
Math…
Math?
Kurata-san, you've been making quite an effort since then, haven't you?
Of course she has!
Not good enough!
Unless she produces results, that's not good enough!
Unless she makes up what she has fallen behind in by graduation in March,
I cannot go along with her attending Jinbo Middle School!
Zenjiro…
W-what was that?
Come to think of it, Zenjiro-san was saying something to me earlier…
What?
That there was a kind, pretty teacher at Sana-chan's school.
Could he have been talking about Andoh-sensei?
He did say that! He did say that! He said he would never forget her sexy dance!
I guess he might have been talking about Andoh-sensei.
Oh, I'm sure he was! I'm sure it's me!
My, my, Zen-chan said that about me?
Achoo! I nevuh said anything!
Where did that suddenly come from?
Easy win!
Our strategy worked, huh?
Thanks to Zenjiro-san.
Gomi-san, please.
Shinichi-san…
"Gomi-kun's turn"
What did you just say?
I said I wanted you to let Shinichi test for Kaimei Middle School.
My, my, my!
You're getting more wrinkles.
Huh? They disappeared!
It appears that Gomi-kun's mother is not entirely aware of his situation.
To be frank, right now, no matter how you twist your son's grades,
classroom comportment, and other considerations,
it would be impossible for him to be accepted into Kaimei Middle School.
There, you see?
Now, let's put an end to this absurd joke,
and concentrate our efforts on overcoming his weaker subjects,
so he can advance to Jinbo Middle School…
I will not let him advance to Jinbo Middle School!
What did you say?
Mom!
This boy's father went to Kaimei Middle School.
This boy's brother got into Kaimei Middle School.
So Shinichi can get in too, if he tries.
Are you sure that the reason his grades haven't shown any improvement…
…is because of an issue with the content of the guidance
he is getting from the teachers here?
I never! How dare you say such a thing!
Your face is cracking, lady.
Gomi-kun, is this what you want?
I…
You're going to test for Kaimei Middle School, right?
You are aware of the regulations of this school, aren't you?
If he tests for another school, then even if he is rejected,
he will forfeit his eligibility to advance to Jinbo Middle School.
Of course I know that.
Answer them, Shinichi-san. You want to go to Kaimei Middle.
I don't know.
Shinichi-san!
Mother, Shinichi-san appears to still be undecided.
Why don't you talk it over with him again, and…
You keep quiet! You're the one responsible for Shinichi falling behind in his studies!
Mom!
You okay?
Shinichi-san!
E-excuse me…
Shinichi-san!
My word, what kind of parent is that? For mercy's sakes!
Gomi-kun…
Let's go have some fun.
You have matters that come before your grades
and your advancement consultation.
Who do you have with you from home today?
You don't appear to realize how important this Guidance meeting is,
do you, Hayama-kun?
Once more!
If you cause one more incident,
your advancement to Jinbo Middle School will be in jeopardy.
"Once more, and kerplunk!" Hayama's in a pinch! One more strike!
Thank you, Zenjiro-sensei!
What for?
Thanks to you, Zenjiro-sensei, it looks like I can safely move on to middle school,
so this is an expression of my thanks.
Is that right? You didn't have to go to the trouble!
That goes for you guys, too! I like canned peaches in heavy syrup,
and Osaka's famous Kagetsu senbei crackuhs!
You don't have to go to the trouble!
—Okay, we won't! —Okay, we won't! —Okay, we won't!
You guys really do think a lot of your teachuh.
Oh yeah, about this… you're causing quite a stir out in the woild again, Sana-chan.
Now you've got a codger boyfriend who's thoity years olduh than you?
Take-chan is not a codger!
He's a feisty old codger! He's so old, Sana-chan,
for someone still in elementary school like you are,
he's the ultimate expression of a preference for olduh men!
You should talk, Zenjiro-sensei. How do you like the older ladies?
Who, me? I'm awlmighty, you know!
They are out there, after all…
attractive older ladies that are head over heels for Zenjiro-sensei.
Ah, I'm kind of getting a chill down my spine.
Here you go, Andoh Sumire-sensei's phone number!
Then you did mean that old lady!?
The chills won't go away. We're done for the day.
"Cold evenings with you"
Now the chill is really coming on.
Okay, scene 8!
Achoo!
Wow, during location shoots at night when our waiting times are this long,
you get really cold, huh?
You know, my snot is collecting in my mustache, and it's freezing there.
That's nasty, Take-chan!
When we press our bodies together like this…
When we press our bodies together like this?
—Ah, it's so warm… —Ah, it's so warm…
Take-chan, you're so warm.
Sana-chan, you're warm, too. We might just melt away…
I really have melted!
Surprised you?
Surprised me!
That's in bad taste.
It's all right!
You're pretty good.
Gomi-kun, you're pretty grown up.
Huh?
Gomi-kun?
Hmm? Gomi-kun?
Good morning!
Sana-chan, have you heard?
What?
Gomi-kun is going to test for Kaimei Middle.
Oh? Is he really that smart?
"Shinichi-chan, your shirt is hanging out. You have to be a good little boy."
"My Shinichi-chan is going to test for Kaimei Middle School."
You spread it around to everyone!
That was dirty!
No, I didn't.
Wait!
Did something happen?
Not really.
You know, last night, I saw Gomi-kun.
He went into a coffee shop with some kids that had to be in middle school.
Middle school?
I'm a little worried.
"Hayama called into doubt"
That was a dirty thing to do.
That was dirty!
What's the matter? I thought you took karate.
Get on with it.
Nothing going on here.
Hey…
Do it.
I'm back.
Welcome home.
Where's Akito?
I'll bet he's on his way home.
He is, huh?
Is that you, Akito? How was Guidance?
Okay.
It was, huh?
I brought home some sushi.
Sushi here!
It's all DAIJO-BU DAIJO-BU
When you sing this song, your worries will go

and then later comes the whimpering,
KU-RAI KU-RAI KU-RAI KU-RAI KU-RAI
(Ah… it's fine, it's fine, it's fine)
It's all crazy over there,
it's all "waah!"over here,
and the whole earth is spinning the wrong way.
So at this point now, yeah at this point now,
you can laugh it away, excuse me, I must be going.

Hoy! In Sana-chan's next adventures…
Gomi-kun, you've got it all wrong!
Hayama wasn't the one who spread it around about you!
If you think calmly about it for a minute
you'll realize that he's the most close-mouthed kid in all of history!
Oh, but Gomi-kun just keeps sticking his feet even deeper into the swamp.
Next time on Kodomo no Omocha, Episode 44,
the tale of where Take-chan and Sana-chan,
and Gomi-kun and Hayama's relationships are headed:
Gomi-kun, Gomi-kun, Where Are You Going?
When you go out,
make sure you tell someone at home where you are headed, okay?
