"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 junior high school student
Aoki Award-wining author, Mama, the squirrel is Maro-chan.
Manager and driver, Rei-kun. He's actually my ex-boyfriend.
Mysterious white bat Babbit Keto baba in Indonesian.
Hayama Akito, a passionate lone wolf, also my dear friend.
Matsui Fuka, best friend I met in the bathroom with an Osaka accent.
Sana left this morning.
Did she call you yesterday, Tsuyoshi-kun?
Yeah, she did, it was so sudden.
She called me too.
Me too
I asked her if we can get in touch during this time
She said she'll let us know when she gets there
Is there a phone there?
I heard there's no electricity there.
Hmm... I heard they are camping near where they shoot the movie.
There should be a phone there.
Maybe. Even though Sana has a cell phone there might be no signal.
Wow... Brown belt.
Kurata.
Eh? What is it?
I have something to tell you
Huh? What do you want to tell me?
I'll tell you when you get back.
OK, I got it. You'll tell me when I get back, right?
It's only two or three months.
I'll look forward to hearing it, Hayama.
Bye, Hayama, I better get going. Give my regards to everyone.
If there's no emergency. I guess we don't need to contact her...
It's only two or three months.
Yeah. It's not appropriate to call her when she's working.
You're right.
If I try to call her, and a stranger answers, What am I going to say to him.
Give him my regards.
What is that suppose to mean?
Does he want us to try to call her?
Don't know...
Really! Really! Sincerely really!
This is somewhere on a mountain in northeast "A" Prefecture.
Are they really going to shoot the movie here?
Wah!
What are those?!
This is great! Is this really the place!?
Sana-chan, you don't have to scream like that, please stop.
Amazing! Amazing!
The lake!
The forest!
And the mansion!
That's how I flutter!
This is where we shoot the movie, right? This is so cool!
Eh? Who's that?
I'm the one who built this mansion for the movie.
This is Odoga-san.
It's so incredible! Incredible!
Incredible! Incredible!
But...
Huh?
In the last scene. Raging flames...
...will burn the mansion to ashes
Di... director!?
Director, you came here already?
Yes, I came here the day before yesterday.
Eh... are we really going to burn down the mansion in the last scene?
Yes, that's right.
I'll do anything to make this movie a success.
Everyone, I'm depending on you.
All right!
We'll do whatever you say, Director.
I'll do my best. Me too.
Thank you.
Director, the reporters are here.
They can be a little annoying, but it's good publicity.
With everyone's help, we can make some great headlines.
Yes sir.
Naozumi-kun is getting all the attention. Even his fans are here.
Oh the other hand, look at Sana-chan...
Wah!
A fiddlehead fern!
Can I eat it? You never know 'till you try.
Sana-chan was supposed to be the only star of the movie.
But now, there are two
[Sign: Rei-kun's feelings.]
Sana-chan's position in show biz is uncertain.
Going to shoot a movie in the wild, eh?
The problem is food, food.
Don't be so picky.
When you are hungry, eat anything you can find.
OK. I'll be like you, Zenjirou-sensei. Eat anything whether you like it or not!
Right! Make a pass at any girl you see!
Am I right?
After Kodocha and commercials...
everyone should know her by now.
When she's walking on the street, people recognize her.
But...
Compared to the other young performers her age, she isn't well-known.
If Sana-chan is going to be a famous actress, this is the place to start.
The star in a famous movie.
This is her big chance!
Come on!
Sana-chan...
Sana-chan.
Dinner ran away.
Sana-chan, don't eat anything that may make you sick.
You can't afford to lose to Naozumi-kun here.
Please, show them your strength. Use your skills, defeat Naozumi-kun.
Sagami-san
No way!... I'm so happy to see you again.
Looking forward to working with you.
Ahh... Kurumi-san... Nice to see you too.
Eh? Why are you moping here by yourself?
My future depends on this movie.
Sorry, I don't have time to stay here with you.
Well, you should work harder yourself.
Oh, really?
You mean I should work harder on the sex scene with Kawai-san?
Ah... I mean, yeah, this is your job. Kurumi-san, it's going to start soon...
Where are you?
Kurmi-san?
I'm coming!
What are you doing here? Everyone's waiting for you.
I'm coming, I'm coming. Sorry I kept you waiting.
You're an admirable actress.
Where's Sana-chan?
Sana-chan!
This can't be happening... Sana's been kidnapped?
Was that frog a monster living in this lake?
Sana-chan...
Sana-chan?
I'm here.
Where?
Come and catch me!
Ah! Sana-chan.
Stop being so foolish and come down here at once!
Ah, it's almost time for the test shots.
Eh? Is it time?
In a moment the test shots will begin!
Hurry up, hurry up. Climb on to my back.
You can't lose to Naozumi-kun no matter what, Sana-chan.
You must pull yourself together.
Rei-kun, you're cold!
Endure! Endure! Endure!
I need my costume.
Hurry up, hurry up change your clothes.
You don't have to be so nervous.
If they see you like this, they'll think Naozumi-kun is better than you.
As they say, "The blue indigo plant is blue".
No, it's "Blue comes from indigo but is bluer than indigo"!
If you don't understand what that means, look it up!
What am I supposed to wear, anyway?
Yeah, what are you going to wear?
Ah! Manager disqualification! You didn't even bring the script.
I'll go get it right away.
Eh!? A kimono! How would I know how to put that on!?
Sana-chan, what are we going to do?
Eh... you are...?
I'm the stylist.
Ah?! That's great, I'm relieved.
Please clean up this mess.
Eh? Ah! Sorry, sorry.
It's done
It's been a long time since the last time I wore a komono.
This week's Sana-chan.
OK, let's start the test.
This is a scene when Hiroto is wandering in the forest and then Mako appears.
Get ready... action!
Hiroto, lie down right there.
So tired... I'm dying...
Where am I?
Mako, enter.
Director, is it OK if I stand here?
That's fine, let's continue.
Hiroto, look at Mako...
Isn't Nakaga-san's mansion somewhere near here?... Um...
A guest...
Welcome.
Guest? Do you live in Nakaga-san's mansion?
Stop.
Eh?
The sunlight is going.
But... it's still to early to pack up
Just stop
Because today's the first day...
Let's take the rest of the day off.
There will be a BBQ party at the camp.
This may help everyone to get to know each other better.
Yay! BBQ! It's going to be so much fun!
Rei-kun, help me take off the kimono!
Yes, sure!
Your call cannot be completed because of technical difficulties.
Ah... so this is what it means to be away from civilization.
Sana-chan, the BBQ is starting.
Rei-kun, I can't call Tokyo. I don't like this.
Forget everything in your worldly life. Focus on the movie.
Let's go, if you stay here too long a bear might come out!
If a bear comes out I can't bear it!
Bah! No one understands me when I'm joking.
Ah! A bear!
Oh... It's the director.
May I speak with you?
What do you want to say?
I didn't have time talk to you before.
I want to tell you everything now.
I didn't have too much time myself.
I saw your performance on stage when you were a kid.
Eh? Really?
When you were seven, you played the laughing girl in the play Laugh Girl...
Right right, that was me.
A character who would laugh at anything no matter what happens.
Waah... Our father is dead!
Ha ha ha ha...
It looked like as if you were really laughing.
Because of your influence, I started to laugh myself.
I can't picture how you would look laughing.
You don't think about anything when you are performing?
Eh? You found out?
That's right, nothing at all!
That's what I admire.
You are a real actress.
Uh...
Mako and Hiroto fall in love.
You two will also.
Before this movie is finished.
You will truely fall in love.
I'm looking forward to that day
Yes, I'll work hard
Eh? That means...
...me and Naozumi-kun!?
What's HA AH AH?
The answer is AH HA HA!
"Sana-chan's drawing song" Get your paper and crayon ready!
First there comes a mountain, then water comes splashing down.
Get two cups ready, then add two handles.
Butterflies come flying in,
with tails growing out of their butts.
Here a slope, there a slope, ups-a-daisy,
and draw in the eye like an arrow.
Let's draw one more arrow.
It's time for gym, so bring out two vaulting boxes.
The letter "ku," the letter "ku," the letter "ku," hey!
Then we stick six beans on.
And now we've drawn Sana-chan!
Dance! Dance! Hey! Hey! Hey!
This is the Sana-chan drawing song!
Eating outside is great.
I'm done, I'm done.
I'm so full.
You will truly fall in love.
What's the matter? Sana-chan.
It's nothing. Naozumi-kun. Want some gum?
Thanks...
No thanks, Nao can't eat spicy gum.
He can't handle spicy things. Right, Nao?
Stop it, Maeda-san.
You have sushi without vinegar and you have to use banana flavored toothpaste?
Like a little kid!
I can too handle this gum!
Oh? You can handle it now?
Yes, I can!
I don't believe it, you can't?
You really can't?
That's so adorable.
Sana-chan, you shouldn't call a boy adorable
He's actually laughing too, inside.
But... Naozumi-kun is more adorable than some girls.
He's not like a boy at all!
He must be weaker than me too!
Hey hey, you're going too far!
I'm a guy!
I'm definitely stronger than you!
Sorry.
Should we have a match?
Arm wrestling competition.
Come on, Sana-chan! Don't lose, Nao!
This is getting interesting. Come on, both of you!
My bet is on Sana-chan! Mine's on Naozumi-kun!
Ready? Go!
Strong...
Very... strong...
You see? Strength from years of dance training!
What kind of training is that?
No, I'm gonna lose... I have no right to be a man!
At times like this... At times like this, I think I'm despicable.
To be despicable is the way to win!
You... I know your secret.
What are you talking about? I don't have any secrets.
You do. You have three moles on your butt!
Ah!
Yay! I won, I won!
That was great, Naozumi-kun!
All my money is gone!
Naozumi-kun! COME HERE!
How did you know I have three moles on my butt?
Didn't I tell you I have your naked baby picture?
You did, but you never said it showed that!
Three stars, very distinct.
Here it is!
No! Throw that away!
It sounds like the moles are more embarrassing than someone seeing your butt.
Yes! Don't ever tell anyone else!
It's fine...
It's just three moles. It's not like you have three buttocks.
Don't talk about it anymore!
I understand, if you don't like it I'll keep it a secret.
You promise?
Absolutely, I'll never do anything you don't like.
Good good.
That girl...
I hate her...
Kurata Sana!
Who are these girls?
You really do use banana flavored toothpaste!
Don't look!
Don't be embarrassed, I want some too!
No way, you'll use it all!
Those two really do get along well.
Wouldn't this make a great article?
Leave it to me.
Hayama, Hayama, I'm going now.
I'll work hard.
I have something to tell you.
I'll tell you for sure, next time.
OK. Tell me when I get back.
It's only two or three months.
I'll give you a call when I get there.
OK.
Akito!
How many more alarm clocks are you going to destroy?
OK, start.
Four, three,
This is the real thing!
OK.
Get ready... action!
So tired... I'm dying...
Where am I?
Ah...
Excuse me...
Isn't Nakaga-san's mansion somewhere near here?
I'm looking for my brother... Um...
A guest...
Welcome.
Yes! Got him!
Hey hey, it's too early to fall for Mako yet.
Like this... they met.
Mako has caught Hiroto's heart.
This silence and uncertainty is actually what I want.
I'm sorry!
Cut.
It's OK, Naozumi-kun.
What's the matter, Nao?
It's very unusual for you to forget your line like this.
Maeda-san, I...
Pull yourself together.
Want to blow your trumpet?
No.
It can't be...
She upstaged you?
Too early, too early, it just got started!
Hehe, now they're starting to understand Sana-chan's strength.
Naozumi-kun.
Yes sir.
Just a second ago, you became Hiroto himself.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Is it OK if I don't sit still?
I'm so nervous I feel like running around.
What what?
What what, what do you want? Naozumi-kun.
That scene...
I knew it, you wanted to laugh when you looked at me, right?
But I tried to look as serious as I could.
That scene, Hiroto...
No, me...
It was real.
I'm really...
fell in love with you.
Before this movie is finished...
You will truly fall in love.
Ah?
What did you just say?
I...
...want you to be my boyfriend.
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
(Sing-ken-ken ken-ken, Tida-apa-apa)
(Gwaenchansseumnida, kwenchanayo)
(Mou man tai!)
