"Kodomo no Omocha"
Both today and tomorrow, I've got time to kick back.
My family of four and I are going to stay the night.
Put on an Egyptian front and become a sphinx,
and for an American feeling, Texas!
When you're sitting pretty, with enough and to spare,
and yet you always shilly-shally,
and your bitter face and bitter feelings both teeter-totter,
it's time to get out of there!
I am feeling Ultra Relax,
a wonderful, invincible Relax.
A one-step-above kind of Deluxe.
I may be a little jumbled, but when I'm called on, ba-ba-ba-ba-bang!
I always feel Relax,
a humble, simple, sort of Deluxe.
Bright! Clear! Alert-headed, peep-peep!
Keep your eyes on me, okay!?

My name is Kurata Sana, first year middle school student.
Aoki Award-winning author, Mama, the squirrel is Maro-chan.
Manager and driver, Rei-kun. He's actually my ex-boyfriend.
Mysterious white bat Babbit.
Use some insecticide, kill all mosquitoes.
Hayama Akito, who does Karate, a passionate lone wolf, also my dear friend.
Matsui Fuka, best friend I met in the bathroom with an Osaka accent.
It's starting!
The movie press conference is about to start.
Sana is like a different person.
Sana-chan is so cool.
Episode 55: Actress goes to the mountains to shoot a movie.
Hiroto played by Kamura Naozumi.
My heart is on fire!
I'm going to work really hard so I won't be upstaged by Sana-chan's talent!
Mako played by Kurata Sana.
I don't know what's in a ghost's mind...
I've been trying to empty my head so I can feel what a ghost feels.
But it was empty to begin with so I didn't have to bother.
Miwa played by Kurumi Asako.
Hope we can work together, to help the two of them reach their full potential.
Masato played by Kawai Takamitsu, age 23.
A character possessed by spirits...
To create the most realistic result I'm on a diet, like this...
Please ask any questions about the movie.
Well... Sana-chan...
This is your first time making a movie With your boyfriend Kamura-kun,
Boy... boyfriend?
Boy and friend means male friend, right?
So, how do you feel about that?
You're asking me how I feel? I don't feel anything special!
Kamura-kun, I heard your character is in love with Sana-chan's charact
But you two are already dating in real life, right?
What? Date?!
Date? How? We almost never see each other at all outside of work.
Almost? Does that mean you see each other occasionally?
Ah, no.
Where do you two normally go? Are you usually in disguise?
We're not really dating...
Please tell us the truth, Naozumi-kun.
You two are dating, right?
This is weird!
Why is everyone talking about this?
Why?! Why?! Why?
Can we just talk about the movie, auntie?!
Sana is speaking incoherently again.
Why does everyone immediately assume that?
You don't have to be so angry.
Why are you getting so mad over what I said?
You only want to know Hayama's motives.
It is true.
But why does the press always like to make such a big deal about who's with who?
True, true, no wonder Sana-chan's angry...
There's nothing between her and Kamura-kun except work.
How should I know?
As you requested, let's talk about the movie.
The leading role in the movie is Naozumi-kun, right?
Well, I haven't read the script yet but...
I think there are two leading roles.
But I heard from the producer... Naozumi-kun's role is more important.
That's probably true...
Sana-chan...
However, since this movie is shot from Nazoumi-kun's point of view...
I can only win using my acting skills.
Wah...
Scared yet?
Sana-chan is acting like a ghost and joking around.
It's not scary? Strange.
Sana-chan, please stop!
I'm so sorry that she's making a fool out of herself.
She's good but I won't lose to her on acting skills. I'm gonna do my best
Next, director Ono will take a few questions.
Director, please.
I'm the director.
Scary...
That was scary, he's like a ghost himself. Watch out...
I'm putting a lot of energy into this work...
Almost all the scenes are on location...
When the set is ready, we're going on location...
in the mountains where there isn't any electricity.
How long will that be?
About two months, maybe longer.
Eh?
Stuck in the mountain for two months?
What is this?
Does that mean we can't see Sana-chan for two months?
He said it could be longer.
It could go on until the summer break.
We can't see her for 3 months?
In that case, she may have to be held back.
Eh? Held back?
How can that happen?
This is a private school, being held back is not unusual.
But sometimes, the school should just let it go.
But she can't come back for a while.
The movie... after it starts filming...
we won't be able see much of each other...
Not seeing each other... will probably be lonely...
Will you be lonely?
As long as we're not dead, we can meet each other.
Akito-kun.
Hi, it's the principal!
The broadcast has ended.
Principal, you scared me.
[Sana, later...]
On the next day,
Sana had interviews and photo shoots to promote the movie.
Sana's schedule everyday is filled with tons of work.
I don't want this... I don't want this either.
Sana-chan, how about this?
Rei-kun, you have such bad taste! What kind of clothing is that?
Really?
She's finally in junior high...
but she can't even go...
because she's so busy... she's so cheerful and full of energy...
Maybe she has already realized... the special life of an actress.
She's no longer doing this...
because of a promise she made me...
How will she do in show biz? I'm looking forward to finding out...
Sensei, Keep this up and we can make our deadline!
Yo, Onda. You don't have to worry, it'll be done in a minute.
Huh?
What is this? Sensei! This...
How can a squirrel know how to write?!
Bye, Maro-chan, I'll leave everything else to you.
Ah! Sensei, it's not enough just to fill the paper with letters!
Please stop joking with me!
It's useless, Onda-san.
Umm... Is Fuka-chan here?
Hey, it's Tsuyoshi-kun.
Fuka-chan, is Sana-chan still absent today?
Yeah, looks like she's really busy recently.
Club activities are starting today.
She's like a ghost member.
Really?
It can't be that Sana-chan's just going to leave like this?
Rehearsal is starting now! Hurry, hurry!
I know, I know.
Did you memorize all your lines?
That director is really scary.
His spirit will come out...
Like this.
That look is so scary, please spare me.
Sana-chan, the departure time has been set.
It's Wednesday next week.
I already told the school.
You have to get ready.
Really...
It seems so sudden.
[They still haven't gotten together?]
Akito-kun...
I think you should clear everything up.
What are you talking about?
Akito-kun, you love Sana-chan, don't you?
You should tell her before she leaves.
You won't be able to see her for two months...
and she will be with Naozumi-kun all the time.
I didn't know whether I should say something...
After the matter between her and her manager, she's clueless about love.
She said she was very embarrassed by her illusion of love.
I'm so embarrassed!
That time...
That's why, I think if you don't tell her, you'll regret it.
Didn't I already tell you back then, to clear everything up?!
Things wouldn't be this way if you told her then.
Akito, just talking big is not enough.
You're good-for-nothing!
You're so annoying!
Mind your own business.
Bye, I'm going to Karate!
Akito-kun, are you running away?
But... I thought you didn't have Karate today.
The level test is next week so I have special practice.
Is it testing time? Why didn't you say so?
You made me nervous.
What are you doing there?
Akito-kun, wait for me!
Akito-kun, if you're going out, then I better get going too.
Kinda... gross.
Telling a girl things like that... it's uncool.
I don't think it is.
No, Akito-kun, you're just a weird kid.
Shut up, you annoying bastard!
Don't think you're better than me just because you have a girlfriend? Idiot!
I never said I was better than you, Akito-kun,
And if you keep acting this way, I won't worry about you.!
Hayama is so weird... What are you laughing at? Idiot.
Confession... confession... it's uncool!
I'll go park the car in the garage. Ok!
Is someone there?
Must be my imagination. I'm home!
Why? Why is there someone hanging around here?
Suspicious person!
Show yourself!
You are...
the bushy eye-browed classmate! What are you doing here?
What's "tsohg"?
It's "ghost"!
Yoho, Fuka!... Fuka.
Sana! Long time no see... Are you still alive?
Yeah, it's been 5 days.
You seem very busy.
Yeah, I'm leaving next week.
I heard it's Wednesday.
It's so sudden.
I'll be lonely if you're not here.
But do your best!
Yeah, you too!
By the way, what are you going to do about club activities?
I'll do it when I get back.
Really...
Hey, bushy eye-browed classmate, you're still here?
What a dangerous fellow.
Sana-chan...
I can't believe I stuck my hands in his nostrils.
He likes to lend a hand. Pay back time.
Sorry I kept you waiting, Fuka.
Yours looks good, what are you having?
Special super sized combo.
You should eat as much as you can while you're still here.
When you're in the mountains, you won't find anything this good.
Fuka, it's not like I'm going to an uncivilized tropical island.
It's Hayama?!
Hey, Hayama.
What?
Sana-chan, long time no see. How are you?
Aya-chan, Tsuyoshi-kun, long time no see.
Sana, hurry, come over here!
Ok!
Sana is leaving next Wednesday.
Eh? Next Wednesday? Really?
That's right.
It's so sudden.
You won't be coming back for two months?
That's right.
Aya-chan, you won't forget about me, right?
Of course I won't, Sana-chan.
That's right, how can we forget about you?
Right, Akito-kun?
What? What are you staring at, Akito-kun?
You won't be able to see Sana-chan for a long time.
Akito-kun, where are you going?
Karate practice.
Karate practice? Akito-kun, wait a minute!
What's the matter with that guy? He's really strange...
Hayama?
Hayama, you'd feel better if you'd just say what's on your mind.
You're in the way, get lost!
You don't have to use violence. Why can't you just talk to him?
This week's Sana-chan. She really ate it! Hayama is so...
I'm full! I'm full! I feel so blessed...
You ate a lot.
It's been a long time since I had lunch here.
That reminds me, I brought dessert.
What's this?
Kurata Sana-sama,
Please meet me in the back yard after school.
What's this?
[After school]
I have an emergency, Babbit is leaving early, bye.
Sorry I kept you waiting.
Sana-chan!
Did you give me this?
Yes, sorry to bother you.
The bushy eye-browed, bloody nose...
My name is Ishida.
That's right, Ishida-kun, what do you want?
Umm, I actually... please don't bleed...
Um... Um...
I...
love you!
I was just a fan before...
...but now... I love you
As a normal girl!
So please go out with me!
Please, Sana-chan, I'm serious!
What's that in his eyes? Is this a so-called confession?
What should I do?
Hey says he loves me... l'll feel very guilty if I refuse without a reason...
but I don't want to go out with him either.
It feels like I'm standing on top of a cliff!
What should I do at a time like this? They don't teach this at school!
Umm... Sana-chan, I wanna know if you're going out with Kamura Naozumi?
What are you talking about? I'm very angry!
Where did this come from?!
But the articles written in the magazines about it seem so real...
and it was in the last press conference.
But that's why I'm saying...
Really, so that's how the public sees me and Naozumi-kun...
Umm... Sana-chan...
If you're really going out with Kamura Naozumi, please tell me...
...and I'll give up.
Give up? Did you say give up?
If I say I'm going out with Naozumi-kun...
he'll give up...
I guess I don't have any another excuse to turn him down...
That's it! Bingo, right answer!
I knew it!!
That's right, there's something special going on between me and Naozumi...
But please don't tell anyone else...
that includes animals like parrots that can talk.
Especially this one. If he knows, I'm doomed!
I was about to go home! What are you doing?
I understand. I'll give up.
But I'll still be your fan.
I wish for your happiness!
Ishida-kun, wait!
Please don't stop me, Sana-chan!
Be careful, there's a tree in front of you.
So embarrassing, farewell!
Farewell, Ishida-kun.
I got caught when I was about to go home.
Namu-namu... dabu-dabu... ramen... ramen...
That's creepy. Sana-chan, what are you doing?
I just told the biggest lie in my life.
But it's OK, right?
Don't they say anything may justify a lie?
No they don't.
The correct answer is, "Circumstances may justify a lie." Study hard.
Who are you, old man?
This time we can't see each other for two months...
When you come back, you'll be a real actress...
You probably won't need me anymore...
Hey, Sana-chan, I'll only ask for one favor in this lifetime, please help.
What is it?
Can you give me Kurumi Asako-san's phone number?
Ok, here you go.
You had it all ready, didn't you?
Asako-chan... kiss
Actually, that's really Andou-sensei's phone number!
Wahhh!
Confused Zenjirou-san, I can use this as a guard against you!
Meow! Wha..Wha...
What if Asako-san sees it?
Sana-chan, give it back!
No way...
Sana-chan, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute...
Meow.
The movie... after it starts filming...
we won't be able see much of each other...
Not seeing each other... will probably be lonely.
Will you be lonely?
They're about to start making the movie, right?
Yeah, the preparation is back-breaking...
Hayama!
What are you standing there for? Are you having diarrhea?
Shut up!
Hey... why do you have scratches on your hand?
Right, you do Karate! Tsuyoshi-kun said you practice really hard.
Let me watch you next time, it sounds interesting.
No.
Why?
There's nothing to watch.
Babbit is preparing too. I'm busy, very busy.
Ok, next.
Hello, Aya-chan?
Since we won't be able to see each other for a long time, I'm calling everyone.
I'm OK, thank you.
Bye, Aya-chan, I'll see you after two months.
Sana-chan, don't just make phone calls,
We have to hurry up and finish packing.
We're leaving very early tomorrow.
There's only one person left.
Fine, then hurry up.
One person left... Hayama.
We haven't talked much recently.
Brown belt. That's great...
You worked really hard. I guess.
More or less...
Akito, Sana-chan called earlier.
Eh?
She said she'll be leaving early tomorrow morning.
Akito, are you going to call her?
She'll probably be gone for a long time.
Akito, are you listening? Strange kid!
Bye, Mama, I'm leaving!
Be careful, Sana, do your best!
Sana-chan, take care of yourself.
OK!
Sana-chan, you can ride in here.
I'll take the bus with everyone else.
Good morning!
Sana-chan, over here!
Naozumi-kun, good morning, good to see you.
Alright, let's go!
Mama, Shimura-san, later, bye-bye!
Ah?
That's...
Hayama...
Excuse me, please stop the bus for a second!
I knew it...
Hayama.
What's this... You came to see me off?
No... I'm doing morning exercise.
Brown Belt.
You passed the test?
Congratulations, this is great, Hayama.
I'll do my best on the movie too.
Hey, Sana-chan, hurry up, let's go!
Ok, I'll be there in a second!
Kurata.
What is it?
I have something to tell you.
What do you want to tell me?
I can't say it here.
I'll tell you when you get back.
Ok, I got it. You'll tell me when I get back, right?
It's only three months anyway.
I'll look forward to hearing it, Hayama.
Sana-chan, we'll leave you here if you don't come!
Ok, I'm coming!
Bye, Hayama, I better get going. Give my regards to everyone!
Although she said it's a separation of only two or three months...
Is that really true?
To a child, two or three months...
can be like an eternity.
Does she really understand that?
It's fine, It's totally fine.
When you sing this song, your worries will go
Bye Bye Bye
Cuz your heart will be healthy
and your body will be carefree
so resolve when to give up
Bye Bye Bye Bye
(Sing-ken-ken ken-ken) (Tida-apa-apa, Enday-kambay-kambay))
It's always the same old nonsense,
My My My My My
(Mm? Could you be fairly dumb?)
and then later comes the whimpering
Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
(Ahh...) (It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.)
Really that's ridiculous...
It's all "waaa" 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.
It's fine, it's fine,
When you sing this song, your worries will go
Bye Bye Bye
Cuz you tried your MECHA-KUCHA best
to PECHA-KUCHA out a "Hi!"
So just keep going like this!
Yay Yay Yay Yay
It's fine, it's fine,
Once your lips touch you can't change your mind.
Cuz your heart will be carefree
and your body will be healthy
So resolve when to give up
Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
