"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.
Hayama...Akito.
The amazing white bat Babbit.
Have you ever loved someone?
Matsui Fuka. The friend whom I met in the bathroom with a Kansai accent.
Episode 65. The two of them finally bid goodbye...
Last night on TV... Kamura said something strange...
I thought... he was just talking nonsense.
But... I still want to know the truth!
Tell me the truth!
I won't believe it... until I hear it from you!
The truth?
The truth...
Then... Hayama, will you also tell me the truth?
Do you really love me?
Naozumi-kun told me that you have feelings for me...
Kamura... what's he doing?
Yesterday on TV he...
Naozumi-kun is just a friend...
...though we're not speaking anymore...
On the set, he told me he liked me... but I turned him down...
...because you're the one I like.
Hey, gimme that thing.
What "thing"?
That thing that you always take out.
Ah! This?
Lemme have it.
Ouch!
I think I've seen this. Oh yeah, in a gift shop.
What the hell was that for?!!
You said you like me! What a joke!
What?
I said don't joke around with me!
Why are you so mad? I only said it because you told me to tell you the truth!
But why all of a sudden?
I only realized it when I was out shooting the film!
You... So stupid and slow... You never understood my feelings!
How am I supposed to know your feelings?
That's why I said you're slow!
I've always loved you!
But...
I never said it.
You really... feel that way about me...
If that's true... Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Huh?!!
I can't just say something like that!
WHAT? You said it just now!
Yeah, it just slipped out. So uncool...
What did you say?!!
How would I know if you didn't say it!
If you were normal you would've understood without being told.
Like you said, I'm not normal!
Truly abnormal. Different, strange.
So, my brain is as watery as fruit! [Ed. note: implying basically empty.]
That looks yummy!
I wasn't talking to you.
See ya...
Hey!... Wait a sec... Not done yet...
Let me go already.
You liking me is in the past...
Now you're in love with Fuka right?
Hold on... Now I ...
Oh, you're still here, no wonder it was so noisy.
What are you doing?
If you're feeling better, hurry up and return to your classrooms!
Hurry, hurry, go, go.
Same goes to you over there.
Eh?... Who?
Fu... Fuka...
I thought a sprained finger should be no big deal...
I wondered why you were taking so long....
Fuka! Wait, Fuka!
That's right. Hayama already has Fuka...
I should have kept quiet... about the truth...
Never should have said it.
Fuka!
Sorry, please don't mind what I said.
How can I not mind?
He just said he loves you!
Oh no...
She heard our entire conversation.
You... never understood his feelings...
So why now...
Sorry... Um... It's OK though!
What did you say?!!
...Because Hayama's love is already buried in the past. And same with me!
I realized that I liked him when I was in the mountains...
But I got over it before I got back!
It was quick...
...so it's all in the past.
So, don't worry about it anymore, okay?
That's right, it will be true anyway...
But why did I have to blurt everything out? I'm such an idiot.
Even so... I still have to worry about Akito!
Hayama...
Why are you sneezing at a time like this?
You look like Kadocha (a comedic actor)
I couldn't help it.
I won't break up!
Fuka!
I can't...
I can't take this anymore...
And I can't face either one of them anymore...
Sana-chan! News! News! Excellent news!
Rei-kun! Are there more jobs for me? Sana-chan, a lot of offers!
I knew it, there's none! But you rejected those.
I'll do anything, and I mean it! We had so many chances, too bad.
Wait! You two are talking about different things at the same time.
OK! take turns!
Rei-kun, are there more jobs for me?
Sana-chan, there's a lot of them.
Yay!
More jobs! More jobs! Looks like a bad talk show, doesn't it?
Hey, hey, but why? What happened to DrePro?
Does anyone remember? [DrePro = Dreaming Pro]
DrePro stands for Dream Productions. [DrePro = Dreaming Pro]
The group hated Sana-chan...
and tried to prevent Sana-chan from getting jobs. They're very bad people.
Actually, DrePro fell apart!
How? Bankruptcy?
No, it's not like that.
When they tried to interfere with you, a bunch of termites appeared...
and ate their building. Only the building failed. [Everything else is OK]
Hey, is that really true?
The most idiotic way to end a business in Japan. How great!
But they weren't great men!
Then at the same time, all these calls came.
Soap operas, commercials, comedy talk shows, movies,
radio broadcasts, magazines and lots more that I didn't mention.
Hey Rei-kun... Let's accept all of them.
EHHH?
Are you sure, Sana-chan? You're not kidding, right?
I mean it.
Sana-chan! Thank you! I'm so proud to be your manager!
Now that it's settled. Better make phone calls right away!
He's floating with joy.
Sana.
Mama.
Although I don't know what made you change your mind,
but if you want to do it, do it right!
Yeah.
Sensei!
Ah! Onda!
What's going on with this draft?
All but the first page are blank!
Ah, I knew it. You found out almost instantly!
Of course!
Uh oh. Time to escape!
Mama! Sensei!
Anyway, it's still better to have work to do.
If I totally focus my mind on it, perhaps it'll help me forget.
I've always loved you!
How can I not mind?
He just said he loves you!
I won't break up!
I want to be away from those two.
Maybe that's cowardly...
but that's how I feel now. I don't know what else to do.
The next day Mama and I had a meeting with the principal.
I think it should be fine.
Everything will be fine.
Hopefully it will.
A gathering of strange people.
Hey! Sana-chan!
There's a meeting about the new job! Hurry up!
Okay!
Sana-chan!
Oh, Tsuyoshi-kun, what's up?
You just talked with the principal, right?
Yep. We told him that I won't have much time to come to school in the future.
He said that even if I'm absent, it's OK as long as I pass the tests.
You won't come to school again?
Yeah, that's right.
Sana-chan, hurry! We're gonna be late!
I'm coming now!
See you later, Tsuyoshi-kun.
Sana-chan...
Is that true?
I heard it from Sana-chan before she left.
I'll feel so lonely...
Naozumi! I heard that Sana-chan is seriously starting her acting career!
Huh? Sana-chan?
Hmm... Naozumi-kun looks good in this outfit.
Is that so?
But why so suddenly...?
Is it because of what I said on that TV show?
Oh yeah! Why don't I just call?
But I can't. She's not speaking to me.
Hey, stop worrying about some girl who dumped you.
Hey, weren't you the one talking about her before?
Kamura-san! It's time for Kyuu-chan's trumpet act!
Right! Let's not think about that now.
Naozumi's so grown up!
You're talking about THIS?
This... This is the best way...
What is iageno?
It means Onegai (please).
Since then, Sana never came back.
I wonder if it's my fault.
We haven't discussed this topic...
It's what that girl decided. Let it go.
Have you let it go?
Yeah.
Then, I should do the same.
Yeah.
Hayama!
Let's have a party, Hayama!
At the cemetery?
Nope! It's called the "half-birthday party" - very popular among girls!
It's on Christmas Eve!
Christmas party! A party with lots of girls and boys!
I've decided we'll exchange gifts!
Hayama, you like dinosaurs right?
Sweet dreams... sweet dreams...
Aa-chan, it's Mama.
Aa-chan, I love you, so you have to do your best...
Do my words mean nothing to you?
Do you... want to be my real boyfriend?
That won't work. Be strong.
Let me help you do somersaults! Plus huge spins too!
I've always dreamed of having a dog.
But I can't have one in our apartment...
so its name is "Inu" (dog).
Woof! Woof!
Good boy!
You're smiling! That's good!
Be strong... Be strong.
Hi, Hayama.
Did you just have Karate practice? You're working pretty hard.
Well... Sorry about last time... I said some strange things.
We won't be seeing each other much in the future, so I came to say goodbye.
I'm going to concentrate on my acting career.
Hey! Maybe I'll meet a good man soon.
Really, you're in the past.
Past?
That's right, in the past.
So please tell Fuka to forget about it all. I'm sorry.
I...
Hmm?
I just can't drop Fuka like that.
Of course. It goes without saying, Hayama.
Well, I have to go. Stay strong!
When you're crying, I will always be with you...
Hayama...
When you're feeling, I will always smile to you...
If only time could stop...
Sadness blows you in to cry...
I don't want any past or future...
But I won't cry for yesterday...
Just this moment...
I just want to stay like this forever! God knows well where you're going to...
It's a lonely way...
But as for me...
Bye-bye...
Hayama.
When you're crying I will always be with you...
When you're feeling, I will always smile...
After that, Sana-chan...
Sana-chan is seriously engaged in a tight schedule of
soap operas, commercials, radio, movie, and comedy talk shows.
She's no longer a child actress nor an idol.
Sana-chan!
Okay, I'll be right there!
She finally looks more cheerful.
She has a schedule like a big star!
Sana-chan, I'm so happy!
Crying, Rei-kun?
Man tears.
Hey, Sana-chan, I heard! Sana-chan is very very very popular!
What are you doing?
Especially that movie. The critics say it's very good!
Uh... what's it called again? I forget. Umm... eh...
Ah... That's right! It's called Mimizu (Earthworm) Palace.
Huh? "Earthworm"?
Zenjirou-sensei, that's wrong, it's not Earthworm Palace.
It's called Water Palace! Water!
To promote it, they announced that...
during the premiere of "Water Palace", I'm going to go onstage and greet my fans!
What's wrong, Zenjirou-sensei?
That hurts!
Let's begin the class.
Sana-chan is so mean.
Your outfit disturbs other people.
Hurry up! Need to make it to the next call! Hurry! Hurry!
It's Naozumi-kun! Don't stop so suddenly!
Sana-chan!
Oh yeah... She's not speaking to me...
I feel so weak.
Hey, Naozumi.
The breakup is over! The breakup is over! The breakup is over!
Sana-chan!
About that... The thing that you said on TV...
...ended up being a good thing for me.
Eh?
Since I accepted that the two of them are together...
I was thinking, maybe it wasn't so bad after all.
That means, we're still friends!
U-kih-so-ro-y
Same here...u-kih-so-ro-y
Yoroshiku! (To the future!)
Ah... This week's Sana-chan!
It's good to make up, right Naozumi-kun?
This kid can really sleep!
That's how children grow. Hey! Wake up!
Don't you think he's gotten bigger lately? Get up!
There's an old Chinese saying that says "every time you sleep you gain an inch".
Akito-kun, come on...
So, you're finally awake!
Don't you want to learn my lessons?
Not really.
What!
Get the hell out!
Akito-kun, anything can be settled. Come on, please apologize.
Stop this attitude of yours, come on, Akito-kun...
There's nothing we can do about you, Hayama...
That hurts!
Come on, Akito-kun, you can't act like you did today.
You're the one who was dozing off.
That jerk focuses on me. It makes me angry.
But it's your attitude that caused the problem, right?
...but Sengoku-sensei is a bit scary, too.
Don't worry about the things in the past, okay?
Look, look up there!
It's Sana-chan.
Wow... Sana-chan looks so beautiful...
Is Sana-chan really that beautiful?
It's all makeup and camera tricks.
Hayama-kun, that's mean!
But Sana-chan is so amazing lately. She's constantly on TV.
Somehow she feels so distant...
Sana...
Hey Fuka-chan...does Sana-chan still come to school sometimes?
Yeah. But even if she comes she's always almost late.
And leaves about 2 or 3 hours later.
So I don't get to talk to her much.
Really? That means we probably won't see much of her in the future.
Our classrooms are far apart too, and...
Tsuyoshi...
What?
Stop talking about her!
Akito...
Ah! Akito, wait a moment.
Hey, don't you think the two of them are acting a little strange?
Is there something going on that we don't know about?
Just now, Akito-kun's glare looked frightening ...
Just like a long time ago.
There's something strange... That's impossible, right?
Babbit knows.
Oh yeah, Akito! Here, before I forget again.
I'm one day early but here's your birthday present! A hand-held game.
Huh? Thank you.
When is your birthday?
Mine? My birthday is December 24th, on Christmas Eve.
Why did you drop it? Is it that scary to be celebrating a birthday on Christmas Eve?
N-Not really.
Hey, Hayama...
It would be great if we can celebrate a birthday like this one next year.
Bye-bye, Hayama.
Bye-bye...
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 time in Child's Toy (Kodomo no Omocha), Episode 66...
What happens?
Ah, finally... Sana-chan and Hayama understood each other's feelings...
You...
They have to part
That's so sad.
There came a letter
What's that?
From New York
How do you do?
The situation has gotten twisted into an unimaginable way.
Which way?
This is the last scene that you don't want to miss!
The two bid fair well with feelings for each other.
Flee Flee Across the Sea!
Hayama chose Fuka.
