"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!?

Episode 63: Don't Believe in Rumors
Sana-chan is very nervous. [Hasn't been in school for 4 months]
It'll be OK... for sure...
I can talk to them normally.
I've had enough time to prepare mentally.
OK, OK.
Kurata-san, you're late.
Huh?
It's Sana-chan!
Is it finished? Yeah, it's over, over!
Hey, Sana-chan came!
Yeah, yeah, about this...
Yo Fuka!
Sana, you're back!
I haven't seen you in ages. When did you get back?
I came back during summer vacation.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Well... a lot of things came up...
Good, we can talk normally.
It's true, it's Sana-chan!
Hi Tsuyoshi-kun, Aya-chan!
Long time no see, Sana-chan. How are you?
As usual, I'm feeling great!
It seems like I haven't seen you in ages!
That's true!
It's Hayama...
Act normal, act normal, act normal...
Yo.
See, even Sana-chan is scared.
It's a surprise to see him like this, isn't it?
In the past 4 months, he's grown 5 centimeters taller!
5 centimeters in 4 months?
He said he's a super growing machine...
At night, his body makes noises.
Is that true?
My bones hurt...
You're like an old man.
Scary growing machine.
Do you look up to me? [As in "admire".]
Huh?
You look up to me.
There's nothing to look up to, because there's nothing there at all.
Why?
Why did I just do that?
The bell's ringing,what's our next class?
English, Aya-chan.
Fuka...
I'm going out with Fuka now.
...lend me your English dictionary.
Again?! Buy your own!
I'm going out with Fuka now.
Ah! I have to use the toilet!
I have to go before class starts! Toilet!
Toilet, toilet, toilet, toilet! You don't have to tell people about that.
Later!
Toilet!
You're not supposed to step on the handle!
Wanna blame someone? Have to blame the designer.
School life is even more intense than work!!
Don't waste water. [Water washes away bad atmosphere.]
The atmosphere already feels different from before.
I didn't know that school could turn into such a stressful place.
My heart is beating so fast...
...uneasiness...
...but it's OK, I can do it...
...because I am...
...the woman who amazed even circus lions with her amazing escape from the burning flames!
Even Hichita Tenkou would be impressed!
Who's "Hichita Tenkou"?
Escaped death from a car accident. [Old magician guy.]
Let's go to class!
Change scene
Kurata-san, long time no see.
Hello, long time no see.
Try to catch up on all the work.
I guess school is a place to work hard too.
My notebook is so empty.
I missed a lot.
Sana, these are the notes I took for you.
All of them?
I've written down all the important bits.
Just memorize them and you'll be fine.
Fuka.
Fuka really is a good person. I've got to be as nice to her as I was before.
But I didn't ask you to do this for me.
If there's anything I didn't get, a dummy like you won't get it eiither.
Or I wouldn't be your buddy.
I'm not crying because of sadness...
I'm sooo happy.
Really? Then come on, and start working hard.
But...
You owe me 800 yen for the notebooks I bought for you...
...and don't worry about the tax.
You've worked out all the numbers... You drive a hard bargain.
Fuka-chan.
What is it?
It's my turn, help me with my work please.
OK.
Let me see Fuka-chan's notes.
OK.
Thank you.
Wow... they're so neat.
I want them too. Let me copy them.
Sana-chan...
Fuka-chan is really smart.
She ranked ninth in our grade for the whole school.
That's great!
She's going to be our student rep next year...
And she's great at gymnastics.
Yes, yes, she did very well in the regional competition!
The principal gave her an award in the assembly.
Fuka is a really reliable, valuable person. Why am I such a loser?
She's got a handsome boyfriend too!
He's in Class 1, isn't he? I'm so jealous of Fuka-chan.
Handsome? Are they talking about him?
Better remember the notes here...
Change scene.
Here you go!
It's Tsuyoshi-kun and the others.
Should we go over there?
I don't know if there are any seats left there.
[Because Hayama is there too?]
Say, Fuka...
...you and Hayama...
...are you two going out?
Did someone tell you?
Yeah I was surprised. What made you want to go out with him?
Why not?
Oh, you gotta show up for gymnastics at least once. How about today?
Yeah, all right then.
Really? That's great!
Fuka's deliberately not talking about Hayama.
Thanks for the food!
Thanks!
All right, just leave them there.
OK then.
Change scene.
Sana, You're in charge of flowers this term. Go find a vase for them.
Eh? What? I have to what?
Now I think of it, Fuka and I became buddies because we're comfortable with each other.
But we've only known each other for a month.
(Suzuki-sensei, report to the principal's office.)
So it's only natural there are things I don't get about her yet.
I wonder when she's going to talk to me about Hayama.
Sensei, you shouldn't run in the hall!
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Report to the principal's office, on the double.
Sorry, sorry.
You weren't carrying the vase properly, were you?
Hey you, can you help her?
Yes.
I'm in a hurry, sorry. Good, it's not broken!
That startled me.
Hey... What were you doing?
I'm in charge of the flowers.
Your homeroom teacher is really good.
He's a good teacher.
My teacher isn't as good.
Sengoku-sensei the science teacher?
He looks kinda slimy.
It's like seeing a rare animal...
Hayama's actually doing what the teacher asked.
Is he changing on the inside, too?
5 cm. in 4 months, are you going to be a wrestler like Giant Baba?
So what if I do?
Thank god, we can talk like how we used to.
How can you wring out the towel like that?!
You've got to do it like this. See?
Like this? (What's with him?)
I'm a pro at wringing out towels.
From the dojo? How's Karate been lately?
Lately?
I have more responsibilities... It's more fun than before.
I see...
You...
When did you start wearing a bra?
What are you doing? Big pervert!!
My defense!
Not good enough!
Hey! How dare you throw that in my face?!
I haven't acted like this for so long.
Can you really see my bra? It's red with a floral pattern.
You can't see it in an anime, sorry.
I'd better change the color, or wear more clothes.
Being a woman is so annoying.
Sana, this...
You're still here!
Give it back to Fuka.
OK.
Now.
Wait a minute! Hey!
What did you just say?!
I said, what did you just say?!
What is isumomi?
The answer is a bug-annoying person.
I asked you what you just said!
Give it back to Fuka.
Before that!
Sana, this...
WH-WH-WH-WHAAAT?!!
Why did you call me "Sana"?
You're Sana, aren't you? Or is it Sam?
My name is Samu.
Why did you call me by my first name?
Oh, Fuka calls you that. Maybe it's rubbing off on me.
That's right. Being together so long would affect the way they talk.
Pretty soon, you'll start speaking with a Kansai accent.
Not really. We're not together THAT much.
Anyway, you shouldn't call me by my first name...
If it happens again, I'm going to tape up your mouth and throw you at the dentist!
Why the dentist?
Why are you getting so mad?
When you get your adult teeth, you have to cherish them for the rest of your life.
Hey! You should be quiet in the washroom!
Don't know why, but other people need to use it...
You have to keep quiet and clean.
I'm the only one getting so worked up.
Just like an idiot! Sana-chan...
Remember what your mom says...
Sana... Enjoy yourself under adversity.
Enjoy yourself under adversity...
Yes Mama.
I've got to stop being so stressed!
It doesn't matter if the two of them are going out!
I'll make fun of those two... those morons!
Wait, you shouldn't step on the toilet handle!
Change scene
For you, Fuka.
What is it?
Hayama told me to give it to you.
I bumped into him.
Oh, Thanks.
Say Fuka-san...
...has Hayama kissed you?
Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?
What's the matter? Tell me, don't be shy.
Why should I tell you?
I guess he treasures her purity.
That fool...
...in kindergarten, he did it when I didn't want him to.
Is that so? So you want him to kiss you now?
If you do, just move your face close to him.
Get close and he'll kiss you.
Stick your chest out, and he'll definitely touch it.
Sana's going all out to make fun of her.
How do you know this?
Fuka-chan's counter-attack!
A-about this...
I think all men are that simple, right?
Managed to dodge it... Are you serious?!
You're a million years too young to be talking about men!
What's that supposed to mean?!
You talk about men when you haven't gone out with any.
Don't say "all men" unless you've dated every man in Japan!
In other words...
there isn't a woman on earth...
who can talk about "men", as if she knows everything about them.
So, stop talking about this stuff.
She's got a sharp tongue.
But it would probably be good...
...if I put my face close to his.
What?!
It's your own fault. [Self-destruction]
If you meddle too much you'll destroy yourself!
I've learned that.
And after school...
Sana, let's go to the group activities.
I have to go, no matter what! Activity! Activity!
Why is she so excited?
Excuse us!
I brought a new member.
Hello, everyone. I'm Kurata Sana, from Class 8.
How do you feel after not being in school for so long?
No problem at all!
I still get along with Fuka, and also joined a group activity.
Fuka really is perfect.
She's amazing!
It's like she's a natural born gymnast...
They say she placed third in competition.
Can you do this? Just like a clown...
I'd fit in better in a circus.
So...
Is everything normal in school now?
No problem...
After 4 months I'm getting back on the swing!
That's great.
I'm going to get prepared for tomorrow.
Strange... Strange?
That child... It's like she's started putting on an act.
Act?
Not like in the movies or on TV...
Acting in real life. There's no way she can keep it up for long.
Eventually, one's identity will be lost...
If she keeps this up, she'll destroy herself.
Yes, hello?
Sana-chan, it's Tsuyoshi.
Hi, long time no talk!
I wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
Have you heard? About Akito-kun and Fuka-chan going out together?
Yeah.
What do you think?
I was a bit surprised but...
...it doesn't matter.
Is that so...it doesn't matter?
Oh! Sorry, there's something I have to do.
OK, see you tomorrow then.
Sorry!
I'm so tired...
When I heard that Akito-kun and Fuka-chan were going out...
...I felt very lonely.
Tsuyoshi-kun's flashback
Huh? With Fuka-chan? Are you serious?
Why is it like this? Who asked first?
She did. She asked me if I'd like to be her real boyfriend.
I answered "Fine with me".
"Fine with me"?
Yeah, because I felt like it then.
Akito-kun, what about Sana-chan?
I don't dislike Fuka.
She's a blockhead!
That's true.
And she's got Kamura... Forget about it.
End of flashback.
Back then, I was really surprised and lonely.
Because I've been watching Akito-kun and Sana-chan since 6th grade...
There's something between them...
How should I put it... It feels like a special bond...
...but...
But what?
Ah, it's morning.
Akito!
Wait for me!
Your top buttons are unbottoned. What a slob!
Be quiet.
Akito, be like Tsuyoshi-kun and just button them.
Morning, Aya-chan!
Morning, Sana-chan. You're walking to school today?
What are you doing?
Hayama knows he's wrong but is still resisting.
Ahh... Uncool!
Do you plan to stay like that all day?
If you're going to bare your chest like that, why don't you join a boy band?
Why didn't you just do that from the start?
Are those two always like this?
Yeah, they are.
That's so funny.
Tell me about it!
Sana, Aya-chan don't just laugh. Hurru or you'll be late!
Akito! Wait up!
But...like this...
...those two look good as a couple.
When Sana is upside-down like this, she can't stop...
Like an unstoppable youth!
Sana-chan and Fuka-chan are good friends.
Going home already? I'm hungry
We get along well with each other...
Sana-chan has Kamura-kun...
...I think this will turn out alright after all.
Tsuyoshi-kun, how did you know that?
Too late.
Akito, you opened your button again!
You like to parade your obstinance...
You should learn some obedience from Tsuyoshi-kun.
Right, Aya-chan?
Don't drag me into this.
I kinda... feel like there's a wall between us.
Because both of you are couples...
I'm the only one who's single.
What are you saying?
Sana, you have it backwards.
That's right. Aren't you the one putting a wall up?
Here, here is a wall!
You don't tell us anything.We feel left out.
Being an actress, maybe there's lots of things you can't talk about.
Wait a sec, what do you mean?
Not again, you're still pretending...
You aren't being honest enough.
You've already made a love declaration with Kamura-kun.
Sudden love declaration ... I never heard about this...
That is... did you all believe that it was true?
It's a lie!
A lie? How?
But if it is a lie, how come there are so many articles about it?
Yes, it's because...
Rei-kun and Naozumi-kun's manager were both in the mountains...
so they couldn't keep a lid on the rumors...
If they were here, they definitely wouldn't have allowed it!
Hey, did you all just assume that Naozumi-kun and I were going out together?
Don't you all remember?
There were lots of rumors like this before...
How come you all believed them this time?
But...
...that thick eyebrow Ishida-kun said that's what you told him.
Ishida?
Damn... I told him not to tell anyone...
I just said that to turn him down without hurting his feelings.
You didn't find out the truth from me...
You all trusted the press and Ishida-kun instead, didn't you?
Sana-chan...
This...
But back then we had to believe it...
Frankly, you and Kamura-kun get along very well together, right?
Of course we get along well! We're friends!
...and we couldn't get in touch with you either...
I couldn't help that, could I?
Because I was working in the mountains...
Damn, my tears are coming out.
Sana-chan...
Sorry, everyone. I'm going home now.
Sana-chan... Sa-Sana-chan... Sana...Wait...
Aki...
My...
...Naozumi-kun's...
...every effort... It's all tainted now!
Why are you crying? What do you mean "why"?
Let go! Hey!
Is this worth getting upset over?
Enough! Mind your own business!
That's no good, Sana.
Sana...
D-didn't I tell you not to call me by my first name?!
Enough... enough...
My mind is all messed up!
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!)
Next episode of Kodomo no Omocha Episode 64.
How does it go?
Elderly sir, are you Okay? What? What?
Sheesh... Sheesh?
Everything is shattered... shattered?
Naozumi-kun is on television...
color television?
Just say it... are you not satisfied?
It became very big news... you mean...
Yeah... it's the mole on the behind...
Why did you bring that up? For what?
Next episode: The truth is out there.
Naozumi, you big idiot.
