"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, a first year middle school student!
Aoki award-winning author Mama!
My manager Rei-kun!
That bizarre bat Babbit!
Hayama Akito...
Matsui Fuka, my buddy!
But even so... I still like Hayama.
Even though he and Fuka are going out,
I still love Hayama.
If I still like Hayama after writing all this, I might as well let it be!
I will also learn from you, Sana-chan.
Huh?
As in not asking for anything in return.
This is it...
Everything has to go as planned. There's no second chance.
Start!
Episode 62: The Continuous Flames Of This Summer
Waiting for the signal...
it's really boring.
Burn! Fire! Burn!
Burn, burn! Hurry up and Burn!
Here and there! All catching fire!
Strong fire quickly burns!
Sparks are shooting everywhere!
Wait for the signal!
Signal is his name. Did you know that?
Right! Right! The signal spoils the scene every time.
As soon as you space out the real thing will appear.
Once I hear the signal, I can get out this labyrinth.
The fire's burning here too.
Still no signal! Still no signal!
Ughh...
I knew it! Sana-chan hasn't recovered yet!
This is bad.
I can't stand up.
How come it's like this?
OUCH!!!
Sana-chan...
Four, three, two, one. Zero!
She still hasn't come out?
Is Sana-chan in trouble!?
Don't panic, it won't do any good!
Calm down, Sagami-san.
Yes Ma'am!
If she's in trouble she'll contact us with the wireless.
That's right, I think the wireless is in my pocket!
You guys are too paranoid.
Sana-chan, hurry and come out.
Press the signal button again.
It hurts.
Is something wrong?
Not good! Something's fishy going on here.
It's alright, it's alright.
Go slow...
It's alright. it doesn't hurt.
OUCH!
Something really is wrong...
The front hall is made of fireproof material. The fire and smoke can't get in.
There's too much smoke... I can't breathe.
This is bad....
My acting skills can't help me here.
This is really bad!
It looks like I have to call Rei-kun.
Wahh! Something flabby!
I don't have time for this!
Where's the wireless?
Sana-chan's down the hall and...
the wireless is over here.
It fell out when she was dancing the mambo.
It's too hard for Sana-chan to walk over here.
And she'll be further from the exit!
What? Huh?
What's this?
What? What?
It's the long-forgotten Burrucha.
Why do I have a Burrucha?
I haven't used it since I got to junior high.
Rei-kun and Hayama don't use it anymore either.
I'm going out with Fuka now.
I feel horrible, like I'm dying.
Dying?
I'm going out with Fuka now.
If I die here...
I'm going out with Fuka now.
...I'll never have to see them going out.
What's wrong, Akito-kun?
That Burruta.
Eh, you mean Sana-chan's quiver-machine?
Yeah, but I don't have it with me.
Akito.
Here's your ice cream!
Look at this, Tsuyoshi-kun. Weird food!
Thank you, Aya-chan!
It's looking at me... It tastes really good!
Your ice cream's melting.
Oops.
Don't play with your food!
Don't play with your food! Don't waste it!
I'm not playing. Really?
Yeah, right.
Why hasn't she come out yet?
Just stop this, director!
There must have been an accident.
Call the firefighters so they can put it out! Call the firefighters!!
Sana-chan!! Prop Manager!
How long can the set last?
I's good for five move minutes,
thanks to the reinforced hallways.
How much time would we need to rescue Kurata-kun?
Two minutes would be fine.
We've trained with dummies for this kind of situation.
Hurry up and save Sana-chan you idiot! Sagami-san!
Give her three more minutes!
Wait three minutes!
Please... Please!
You don't even care about human life!
I'm willing to gamble my own life on this movie.
You can gamble your own life.
But not with other people's lives!
Is this really OK? [Two minutes left]
Rescue preparations complete! [Two minutes left]
Goodbye Earth... everyone...
Sana's going...
Ahh, it hurts!
Ah I... what am I thinking?
Is that the pain or the smoke?
I'm becoming weak... I have to go out.
Sagami-san please wait! Just wait one minute!
If we stop it now, Sana-chan will regret it!
Don't waste all of Sana-chan's effort!
Effort?
What good are your efforts when your life is lost?
Enough!!!
Sagami-san!
Forty seconds left!
Stop.
Eh?
Stop filming.
Rebuild the house.
We don't have the budget!
Find a way.
It's impossible!
Sana, what are you doing? Hurry up and come out!
Everyone's waiting for you!
I'm waiting too!
Hurry up and come out, everyone is waiting!
I'm not as strong as everyone says.
Everyone thinks I do my best because I'm strong.
But... I'm not strong.
So I have to live and work hard to make up for it.
Sana-chan! Sana-chan!
Wait! Why?
Sana-chan is acting.
Director!!
Camera!
Rolling!
Mako-san!
Mako-san! Why?
Where's Big Brother?
Heh heh, those two are inside...
already engulfed by the flames.
What, Mako...? Unless... you set the fire?
I took them because I love them.
And me?
I didn't take you because I love you.
So live.
Cut, OK!
OK?
OK!
Tell the firefighters to hurry up!
This way!
Sana-chan! Naozumi!
Sana-chan!
Ahh! Naozumi!
I'm fine.
Look, I found a wireless! I'm rich!
Hey! That's Sana-chan's!
Um... Naozumi-kun...
Eh?
Did I say my lines right?
It was fine, don't worry.
Thank goodness...
Sana-chan, hang in there!
Hurry up and put out the fire!
What is ogog?
The answer Go! Go!
Medic! Quick!
Nozumi, please be okay!
I'm fine.
If I sing the song the burn will go bye bye bye.
Sana-chan, it's great that you're alright I was really worried!
It would've been easy.
But after dancing the mambo, my leg made a strange noise and gave out under me.
Did your leg start hurting? Is it alright?
It's totally fine. If I sing this song the pain will go bye bye bye.
Don't sing, it sounds horrible.
Babbit here trying to put out the fire
Thank you.
Sana-chan! Good job!
I guess you admit it! [Acknowledgement]
Ahem! [Acknowledgement]
Heh heh!
You're blocking the words. I can't see!
Cheers!
Back in Tokyo we still have some scenes to shoot in the studio.
Anyway the location shoot is finished.
Thanks for your hard work!
Sana-chan, is your leg OK? OK?
Yeah. You got burned too... is your back alright?
Are you OK?
It's fine! But...
Sorry, does it hurt?
Babbit is soft! See?
Naozumi-kun, you look like you're in pain...
Sana-chan, Naozumi.
You two did a great job.
Is this a joke? The director is a phony.
Sagami-san, quiet down, the director will hear!
Putting you in danger was my fault. I'm sorry.
Nah, it's my fault. If I didn't dance the mambo my let wouldn't have hurt.
I hate this director.
I promise...
I'll make it into a good movie.
Yes! Ouch!
Of course! With Sana-chan, how could it be bad?!
Sana-chan...
Those girls say that they really want to apologize.
What will you do?
There's no other way. I'll go let them apologize.
OK...! I heard you came to apologize.
Um...
Yes?
Even though we still don't like you...
...because of your great work...
We're sorry we did such a rotten thing.
Everyone thinks this is an apology.
Makes me mad.
You know...
All you guys like Naozumi-kun, right?
You like him... right?
Umm... l... already...
have somebody I like.
Heh, heh... To say it out loud is embarrassing.
I just realized it recently.
But that bum is going out with my friend.
Everybody wants something they can't have, but they still do their best.
You're not the only ones that hurt.
So I can understand how you feel.
Sorry...
Yeah... That's alright... Bye!
The movie... Hm...
After it's finished, we'll go watch it.
We're not watching you, we're watching Naozumi-kun.
Bye! Bye!
Rei-kun, is there any food left?
There is!
Those girls will become Sana-chan's fans in the future.
Alright! I'm gonna eat now!
"wontea wontea"! [eat now]
Sana-chan!
Ah! Naozumi-kun.
After all those things... You've worked hard.
Yeah, you worked hard too!
After we get back to Tokyo, I hope I'll see you again.
Sure.
Hurry up and start packing! [We're going home!]
"Snore"
Let's go Sana-chan.
Oh, right! Bye Pointy Mountain!
Bye!
This is an anime. Don't be surprised.
Back to work!
Sana-chan is back home. Did you miss us?
Everybody has summer vacation.
Everybody is happily playing.
Where's Sana-chan?
In the hospital.
The doctor in the mountain...
didn't find all the broken bones.
This time I prescribe total bed rest.
Too bad.
Stay here and be good.
Can't do anything about summer vacation.
After saying it, press the button.
In the hospital...
So bored she's talking with that toy...
I just got home and now I have to live in the hospital, too bad.
I feel so lazy...
It's hot...
Let's get a picture!
This week's Sana-chan!
Why can't we use this one?
Because this one's better.
It's only temporary.
Yeah.
Sagami will come after he washes the apples.
Yeah.
Who gave you these weird flowers?
When did that get there?
Sensei! Manuscript!
Onda!
How can you come into a sick girl's room!
Please give me the manuscript! No way!
Apples, apples, oo! Ah, apples, apples, oo...
You can't catch me!
I can't believe you drove that in here!
Onda, please be quiet in the hospital.
Ah, sorry...
Sensei, manuscript...
This is very embarrassing...
Is that so?
Sensei, you didn't close the door.
Sorry Sagami. Close it.
Right...
I'm bored.
Sana-chan
Yeah...?
Want an apple?
There's two kinds of fruit.
What's this soft and mushy thing? I'm soft and mushy.
Nope, it's not a pear. (Same sound)
Visiting hours are over. Go home.
Summer, huh?
Last summer...
Many strange things happened...
But, Hayama was there.
Concentrate and write! Geez.
Everyone is finishing homework.
We're all here 'cause you didn't finish your homework! How can you act like this?
Is Sana-chan still on location?
If she came back, she would call us, right?
Exasperating!
I wonder how Sana-chan is doing...
Sana-chan is out of the Hospital.
Wow! It's great!
It's just like the old set!
Sana-chan, be careful of your leg.
It's okay this time.
Sana-chan!
Naozumi-kun!
Long time no see.
Thank for coming to visit me.
Sana-chan, Naozumi-kun, it's time to rehearse scene 90.
Right!
Have you told anyone that you're back?
No, I haven't told anyone.
I don't think anyone knows that I came back.
I see.
Please wait on stand-by the door.
Yes sir!
Good luck! You too.
When the movie was finished, it was September.
I had the text all memorized, but Sana-chan read everything before I started!
Today I have to go to school...
I feel... kinda down.
Can I still act normally with my friends?
I'm kinda nervous!
Sana-chan! You're going to be late!
I can't just not go can I?
Can it be like it used to be?
I'll use this song to mask my discomfort.
When I went to do the movie it was May.
I ate a lot of the pie store's cakes.
The cakes looked like this!
Then I had to skip school because of work.
Just when I went to school, I skipped school.
Sana-chan worked in the mountains.
A mountain where it's hard to communicate,
No TV and no phone,
No way to know what's happened in the world.
This is the way of living in the mountains.
I finally found a place I could use the phone.
Hurry up and call him!
I'm going out with Fuka now.
The atmosphere is stifling...
Will it go on like this?
Is it alright?
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!)
