"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!?
I'm Kurata Sana, first year Junior High School student.
Award winning witer Mama and her squirrel Maro-chan.
Manager and driver, Rei-kun.
Mysterious white bat, Babbit.
Hayama Akito, lone wolf doing Karate and my friend.
Matsui Fuka, my best friend with a Kansai dialect who I met in the bathroom!
Will you be my real boyfriend?
Love Awakened After Loss.
Hayama, are you doing well?
After two months...
there's only a quarter left to film.
It was kinda fast but kinda slow.
But I'm feeling well and doing my best.
Hayama, are you also unchanged?
Huh? Sounds strange.
Whenever I write letters I get so formal!
We are formal girls.
If you're gonna say that, it's okay.
Are you.. Yah doin' OK?
Ooh!! I got it I got it! This is good.
Sana-chan it's time to go.
You're writing a letter?
Ah! Nothing! Nothing!
It's person I can't see even though I really want to.
Ah! It's to Sensei then.
Hayama... I haven't seen him for a billion years.
I wonder what you want to tell me when I come back.
What is it?
Cut... OK.
I keep thinking about you, Hayama.
Are you okay?!
Come on Rei-kun.
But...
It doesn't hurt that much anymore, I feel fine now.
Hmm... just a little longer.
It seems like you're looking forward for the filming to end.
Eh? Really?
When I think about your leg, I want to end soon too...
Give me your leg so I can change your bandage.
Rei-kun, really! It doesn't hurt anymore.
Don't hide it in, I know that it hurts. At least tell me.
Ah, yeah. It does hurt a little bit.
Just in case, you should see the doctor tomorrow.
No! Tomorrow we're going to film the important fire scene!
I've been practicing so hard and rehearsing with Naozumi-kun!
I just want to charge forward and get it over with!
But...
I beg you!
Oh, controlled manager.
I went and fell in love with you.
OK... Cut.
I need a moment with Sana-chan.
The expression was good...
but...
that line is a bit...
Yes?
It isn't right.
When you first realized that you were in love...
Yes?
How did it feel?
Huh?
What did it feel like, Sana-chan?
Umm actually...
You old geezer. [10 minutes ago]
Geez, I don't get what that stupid director is saying.
I sort of understood how to say the line.
It's not ordinary love. I think I've got it now.
Oh I see.
Let's put some ice on your leg now.
Rei-kun.
Hmm?
I really think this movie will turn out great.
I really think so!
I want to act to my fullest abilities.
People who watch will feel something.
Right.
Hint: Hayama!
Naozumi-kun! Can I blow your trumpet?
Can you do it?
There's nothing I can't do!
See there are things you can't do with just strength.
Akito?
Hey! Sana-chan's on TV, look!
Maybe what the talboids said about them is true.
She seems to look good with Kamura-kun.
Is that OK, Akito? If you just sit there Sana-chan will be taken...
Eh?
How is everyone? Is Fuka well?
Babbit is doing well ha ha ah haaa. [Sign: Rough Feelings.]
I bet I missed a lot of homework.
What if I can't catch up?
Hayama, will you help me again?
Yeah, just like you did in 6th grade.
Ah, that was bad.
but those days are nostalgic.
Now I want to go back to school again tomorrow.
There's a lot of things on my mind
but everything is going well.
When you see me again, you'll see the better actress, Kurata Sana.
Ah, I'm just kidding. So keep doing well.
How many days did it take to write just one letter...
I'll ask Rei-kun to mail it to tomorrow.
Hayama...
Actually a lot of bad things happened.
I hurt my leg.
There are bad rumors about me and Naozumi-kun,
but there's really nothing between us.
Sana-chan! Go to bed! Hurry go to bed!
If you don't get enough sleep you won't have beautiful skin!
Sometimes I think I want to hear your voice.
If you could just tell me the do your best, then I could really do my best.
Hmm... Letter?
Yes.
If you're going to the town at the foot of the mountains, please mail this.
Today I didn't have that in mind.
but Maeda-san said he was going in the afternoon.
I'll ask him later.
OK.
Sana-chan!
Look what I found!
Eh?
Sagami-san, bring Sana-chan over here please.
This way this way!
What this?
Why did you bring me here?
Ta-da!
Asako, you know a cell phone won't work here.
Other's won't.
Others?
This is the director's cell phone.
I'm not sure why, but if you use it right here it can get a signal.
Eh? Oh really?
Yup!
Here Sana-chan. You wanted to use the phone, right?
Thank you Asako-san!
Well, take your time. Let's go Rei.
It's Sunday, I wonder if he's home.
I wonder who Sana-chan's going to call first.
Of course it'll be Sensei.
Ah! Hello? Is this the Hayama residence?
It seems to be Hayama-san.
Why?
Hello! Been a long time! Kurata here!
Ku... Kurata?
Hayama! It's me it's me! Are you doing well?
You could say that...
Right now it's break time.
The phone somehow works and I got through to you.
Hey! Are you listening?
Yeah.
You said you wanted to tell me something.
What was it about? What was it? Tell me what it was!
What is it?
Actually...
Yeah?
It doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
Oh, I have another call, hold on a minute.
I'll tell him I got a bra.
Ah, my bad.
Ah, hello, who was that? Tsuoshi-kun?
Fuka, is she OK?
Kurata
Eh?
Oh yeah, is that so?
Wow, what a surprise.
Well, they're starting.
Yeah, see you later.
Sana-chan! Maeda-san's ready to go. Do you want to send your letter?
Sana-chan...
send your letter...?
Sana-chan! Sana-chan! What's wrong Sana-chan?
Now I'm dating Fuka.
Oyaho, what is it?
The answer is Ohayou! [Good Morning]
My bad, did you wait long?
No.
Did you talk to Sana?
Not really.
I see.
What's wrong Sana-chan?
Her expression makes her look like she's dead.
She's so different than usual. She looks like a ghost.
Great. Sana-chan is so great!
Let's begin, places!
Action!
Y... you... you...
Cut.
Sana-chan!
What's wrong Sana-chan?
That's enough for today.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
Your leg injury really hurts doesn't it? You can rest a bit.
But...
No that's enough. Hurry and get in shape.
I don't want that kind of lifeless expression in my movies.
I would expect such a wooden performance from a regular child actor.
I don't think of you and Kamura-kun as children.
You understand, right?
Rain, it's raining, the weather is bad. [Sign: And it rained...]
I looked like such at idiot.
Naozumi-kun.
Hurry, please come in.
What's wrong with Sana-chan!? What's going on?
Actually, I don't know.
At noon she talked on the phone with Hayama-kun...
On the phone with Hayama?
Right now Kurumi-san is taking care of her in her cabin.
Oh, wait!
Relax and don't worry.
Sana-chan! Sana-chan!
what happened? What did Hayama say to you?
Tell me Sana-chan!
Naozumi-kun calm down!
What happened?
Calm down, Naozumi-kun
Tell me, Sana-chan!
Come on give him something to blow on! Wait Naozumi-kun!
Oh, thank God he calmed down.
I could have calmed down without this.
Rain, rain, how painful. [Sign: So He Calmed Down]
Hey, you know Hayama and Fuka...
Fuka is my friend...
They're going out now.
I'm not sure why but... I was shocked
I'm best friends with both of them.
It was so sudden... strange...
It's a big shock to you Sana-chan...
But isn't it strange?
That means that you have feelings for Hayama-kun...
No, no! It's not like that at all!
Hmm... it can't be.
Right! Fuka is a nice person, if I think about, it's a good match.
Hmm... I don't buy it...
Come on, Sagami-san...
That's it.
Really, that's all there is to it.
It's fine, don't worry about me.
Alright! Let's call him again!
At the secret spot!
Eh? Secret pop?
What's a pop?
No, it's a spot!
Damn I don't know his phone number!
Tell me Sana-chan!
Stop it already! Please stop!
The two of you leave. I'll take care of things.
Sana-chan!
Sana-chan, are you alright?
Here.
Sometimes it's better not to say anything.
I'm sorry I butted in by lending you that phone.
No, it's OK.
It was true I wanted to phone someone.
Rei-kun talks about you all the time,
so I know quite a lot about Heyama-kun.
Oh, I see.
Sana-chan, you love Hayama-kun don't you?
Me... Hayama?
Of course. That's why you called him first.
Oh that's not it at all.
There was just this little thing I couldn't stop wondering about.
So I totally don't love him, not at all!
Really?
Right, right!
I don't have a reason to like him at all.
Eh? A reason?
Yes! My type is someone nice like Rei-kun,
and I want someone who's tall.
He's about the same height as me...
He's a cheetah and a pervert and he looks at me funny.
Well... well...
he has a nice side to him.
But but...
I totally don't love him.
Sana-chan you don't need a reason to love someone.
You just realize you like him. Love is like that.
You don't have to have a reason?
Is that so?
I see...
Then... I...
I guess I do love him.
When I realize I like him,
I get turned down.
If you ever need to cry, come to me.
Even now that phrase still supports me.
But what am I supposed to do when you make me cry?
Today it's raining raining raining... [The next day it rained too.]
Sana-chan is still...?
Yeah.
The director said he'll film scenes that don't have Sana-chan first.
But Sana-chan, who can even do an adult's job,
is so weak in the face of love.
I can't forgive Hayama for changing his mind!
You can't change a person's feelings of love for someone.
It's not Hayama-kun-s fault, or anyone's fault.
I see.
Mama, what's happened to me?
I try not to think about Hayama...
but tears come again and again.
What am I going to do? What should I do?
Mama, I'm making everybody worry about me.
Naozumi-kun.
I can't stop thinking about you, Sana-chan.
No!
It's my problem!
Sana-chan...
To see the strong Sana-chan like this...
It seems that I got turned down.
Sorry... It's thoughtless to burden you with my problems...
But I'm too occupied with myself.
my mind is all messed up.
I never knew I was such a weakling.
Really... enough...
Why? Why are you crying?
Bucause you're crying Sana-chan.
Me?
For you Sana-chan, I...
I can do anything for you...
Ow...
anything...
even if you love someone else.
Naozumi-kun...
I'm here for you Sana-chan!
So don't cry, don't cry.
Naozumi-kun...
If you ever feel like crying,
If you feel like crying, come to me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry... Naozumi-kun.
Right now...
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
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
