"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!?

Attention please, attention please.
We will be arriving at at the John F. Kennedy airport very soon.
Sana-chan.
Huh?
We're here.
Nao, wake up.
Sana-chan.
We made it to New York huh?
Do your best, okay?
Yeah.
New York...
This is New York!
Episode 67: Suspense in New York
My name is Sana Kurata!
Thank you, you're welcome!
I'm from Tokyo.
Welcome to America.
You can go through.
I'm in New York.
I'm feeling at my best right now.
I finally got a sound out of it.
We're already in New York?
I'm about to faint.
I want to see New York.
Actually I was already here a couple of times.
Welcome to the U.S., are you visiting?
I suppose so.
Right now we're over here right?
Is this Manhattan?
I don't know Broadway, what kind of place is it?
The guidebook says it takes an hour to get there by taxi.
Where's Gary Hamilton's house that we're supposed to go to?
There's supposed to be someone to pick us up.
The guidebook says if you're not careful in New York all your luggage will be stolen.
So be careful everyone.
If a girl goes out at night alone in New York, it's very dangerous!
Don't ever leave Sana-chan!
OK!
The guidebook says..
When a flight from Japan to the JFK airport arrives in the evening it's very hard to get a taxi.
Did you guys get special treatment? Maybe not.
What, what? What's going on?
OK... With this trumpet I will...
You are Mr. Kamura Naozumi right?
And you are Miss Kurata Sana, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
Put away your trumpet now.
Ah then you're the producer right?
Mr. Gary Hamilton?
I'm the butler Alfred MacBagabban.
I'm here to pick you up.
Mr. Butler?
Mr. MacBagabban?
You must be really tired coming from so far away.
Please come with me I will take you to Mr. Hamilton's house.
Pleased to meet you.
If you please....
May I introduce the bodyguards?...
Circle around.
Loop!
Is that Manhattan? Is that the Empire State building?
Is that the Statue of Liberty?
New York!! Rei-kun did you see?
I can't move Sana-chan.
Maeda-san take a look!
I can't move Nao.
Brooklyn! Brooklyn! Manhattan!
Loop loop!
You're too close to the camera. [I'm not telling you where they flew to.]
That's a huge house!
Sana-chan...
That's the president's White House isn't it?
No, that is our house.
White House isn't in New York.
It's in Washington DC.
Please come this way.
A party!
Could this possibly be...
A welcoming party for us?
Yeah surely!
Actually no.
This is our weekly ball.
Oh, of course...
Come this way please.
Madame.
I have brought them here.
I see.
I'm Kurata Sana.
I'm Kamura Naozumi.
I'm Kurata's manager, Sagami Rei.
Kamura's manager..
Mysterious white Bat...
Babbit!
I'm the American Babbit, from Texas.
What's with her attitude?
It's hard to describe.
Oh maybe because we don't speak the same language.
Maybe so.
Why don't we use the language of music instead.
Let me try too.
I'm here I'm here, Kurata Sana from Japan is here.
Naozumi-kun and Sana-chan flew straight over the ocean.
Invited here by the famous producer Mr. Hamilton
OK! Naozumi-kun solo!
Invited to America, fly fly fly, fly here.
Babin babon (drum sounds)
You should understand now right?
Come on?
So it's like that.
Please enjoy yourself.
What about Mr. Hamilton?
We will prepare your rooms.
Please enjoy the party.
OK.
This is how you're supposed to enjoy a party. [Sign: Party Party.]
Oh, American-style is a bit different. [Sign: Party Party.]
How do you do?
Hello everyone, I'm Kurata Sana.
Alright Naozumi-kun.
Good evening everyone.
I'm Kamura Naozumi, from Japan.
Your eyes are blue, are you half?
That's right.
What were you talking about with Michelle?
Yeah we're all wondering.
Oh Michelle?
Mr. Hamilton's wife's name is Michelle?
Yeah I thought I heard that name before.
You guys don't know who you were talking to?
The guidebook says Michelle Hamilton was a famous Broadway costume designer.
But this book says she's the queen of Broadway.
So she's really great isn't she?
What was that now?
Sana-chan..?
Sana-chan?
New York is cold isn't it.
Let's find something hot to drink.
Sana-chan!
Hayama..
Hayama? Who's that? Your boyfriend?
Do we look alike?... Just kidding!
I'm Brad. I've never left New York since I was born, Kurata.
Of course I never went to Japan or any other foreign country.
It's nice to meet you.
Sana-chan, what just happened now?
Ahh! Hayama-kun!
Oh Kamura! I don't want to explain it to you too!
OK, let Babbit explain everything. [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
Hayama and Brad look the same, but their eyes are different. [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
Their personalities aren't the same either. [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
If he were Hayama, "Akito do you like sushi?",
"I don't hate it" [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
If he were Brad, "Brad do you like sushi?" [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
"Oh yes! I love sushi!" "Very very lovely yum yum!"
You're horrible! [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
Oh I'm a little embarrassed now. [Signs: Hayama, Brad]
Brad?
Yeah I know everything about this house.
If you have anything you don't understand, ask Mr. Brad here.
OK, come with me.
Coming..
This is the kitchen.
Actually you don't have to tell us where the kitchen is.
Listen carefully...
Even at the party we're all rivals.
One's survival in the party world is always very uncertain.
Even from your best buddy...
You have to find a way to protect your own status.
If you don't eat someone else, you'll be eaten.
There's usually sausages in there.
Alright next.
This is the training room.
Kurata you're 13 right?
Why do you look like a little kid?
What the hell are you doing!?
You wanna fight Kamura?
Do people with your face always do stuff like this?
Using the equipment here can allow one to get a good figure for the dance floor.
The actresses and the models at the party are at least teenagers.
Everyone's exercising.
Alright next room.
You two look good together.
You're lovers?
You're not lovers?
Just good friends. Yeah.
Huh, what was that?
Starting from here only the servants are allowed to enter.
So next is the garden.
I haven't been here before. [Sign: What did you see?]
This is the end of the garden.
This fast? Why is it like this?
Because Broadway is a very crowded place, you should go home early.
But we've been invited here.
I just want to be friendly that's all.
See you, goodnight.
What's with him?
Sana-chan found you!
Your rooms are ready!
It's very luxurious.
You two are so naive.
Oh geez, Maeda-san.
Let's go Sana-chan.
Yeah.
Ready?
The rooms of Mr. Maeda, Mr. Sagami, and Mr. Kamura are this way.
I will take my leave.
Um what about Mr. Hamilton...
Goodnight then.
Let's just go rest.
Nao, Sana-chan goodnight.
Goodnight!
Oh well, it can't be helped.
Goodnight Sana-chan, Naozumi-kun.
Goodnight!
Alright then me too, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Miss, come this way.
Sana-chan!
Hmm?
Tomorrow we'll do our best, OK?
Goodnight!
Goodnight, Naozumi-kun.
Do you need your luggage carried over?
No just leave it there.
Thank you, Shimura-san.
It's Ramsey.
Ah I'm sorry!
Because in my family we have a servant and her name is Shimura-san.
She's as sweet as you.
Thank you!
You seem to have a very good relationship with the person in the next room.
Yes! Friend friend!
Actually in this residence...
Ah it's nothing.
Excuse me.
What was that?
Biron!
How strange this house seems.
Asako..
What is "Usiarumo"?
It's "Omuraisu" (Omelette Rice)!
"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!
What?
Maybe I was just dreaming.
Ahh! Help me!
Sana-chan!
Sana-chan! What's wrong?
Are you alright?
Sana-chan!
What happened?
I'm confused.
I suddenly couldn't raise this barbell.
How much does the barbell weigh?
20 KG, it should be easy to lift up.
But why did you decide to lift weights so early in the morning?
That's because...
What?
To build my figure.
Did you say 20 KG?
This barbell is 50 KG.
You can't do 50 KG Sana-chan.
That's really too heavy.
But I originally was going to get a 20 KG one.
It was 20 KG in the beginning.
What?
Each ring is 10, so it adds up to 20.
The inner ring was 10 and the outer was 15 each which adds up to 30.
With a total of 50 KG.
But I really only intended to add 10 KG each time.
Sana-chan, pounds and kilograms aren't the same.
What's that?
Let me explain to you.
Rei-kun's explanation wasn't too clear. [1 Pound = .454 Kilograms]
So let Babbit explain to you! [1 Pound = .454 Kilograms]
In America, they usually use pounds not kilograms. [1 Pound = .454 Kilograms]
Look here! 1 Pound equals 0.454 KG [1 Pound = .454 Kilograms]
So Sana-chan thought that 10 kilograms = 10 pounds.
But really 10 pounds is 4.54 KG.
[10 Lbs. = 4.54 KGs]
No Rei-kun, 10 kilograms is less than 10 pounds. [10 Lbs. = 4.54 KGs]
Are you saying that someone added weights?
Yeah even though this is the only explanation, we don't have any proof.
Even I don't know when the weights were added.
Maybe it's the time difference.
Maybe it's him.
Brad?
No, I really don't know what's going on.
Maybe I turned stupid.
It's a special chance for us to get into New York.
So we have to stand on the Broadway stage!
Right?
Yeah.
See see I knew it.
Broadway dance dance win!
I'm going to do that too!... I did it!
Look Sana-chan! Look look!
Sana-chan!
What's that truck trying to do?
This way Sana-chan!
What the hell are you doing!
You bastard!
Good morning.
Kurata, Kamura, did you have a good night's sleep?
What's wrong, did something happen?
You seem to be very calm.
Look at that! we were almost hit.
You were targeted?
Like I said, going back real quick is probably better.
To be invited here means you'll definitely be targeted.
What is WITH him..
Biiin!
Be careful, Sana-chan.
Don't worry.
There's not gonna be a crazy car, or a crazy horse inside the house.
Here in America you don't know what can happen.
Maybe there will be a really mean old man.
But we'll talk about it when the time comes.
Sana-chan stop!
Time for pictures don't move!
Can Babbit be in the picture too?
Come on smile!
Sana-chan! Naozumi-kun!
Ah...it's alright, it's alright.
This week's Sana-chan and Naozumi-kun!
That's dangerous!
Oh are you OK?
Was it you?
How could it be?
Eating American food in such a big dining room makes me feel a lot better.
How dare you say that after hiding in the corner eating.
Are we really being targeted?
We can only assume that.
Eating big spoonfuls of Cornflake Paste really
adds a lot of American Flavor to food.
What should we do?
I don't know who would do this. Babbit's going to the other side.
Sana-chan, you're not gonna eat this?
Oh? Maeda-san!
Sana-chan's been lifting weights since morning. I'm just trying to help her out.
You're acting like a child, Maeda-san.
Normally you're supposed to say that it tastes really good right?
You'll be kicked out like this.
Do you have to be like this..?
This isn't good, Maeda-san.
Maeda-san?
I feel sick..
Maeda-san!
Rei-kun call an ambulance!
OK!
I'm worried. [Who's behind this?]
Next is a car in America. [Who's behind this?]
How can this happen?!
If Maeda-san didn't eat it, it would have been Sana-chan!
Sana-chan, Maeda-san will be alright.
Even though he looks really thin, he has a very strong body.
Sorry for interrupting.
I humbly apologize.
If I had checked everything carefully this would not have happened.
Ramsey-san, no!
Actually yesterday weren't you going to tell me something?
You said "this residence..." What were you going to say?
I am most sorry, but I cannot say anything.
Why!?
I am most sorry!
Ramsey-san.
Sorry for intruding.
Markubeobongan-san
It's MacBagabban.
Excuse me.
I just returned from the hospital.
Mr. Maeda is not in a life threatening condition.
What a relief.
But the cause is still under investigation.
Before the investigation concludes, please be patient for a while.
Sana-chan it's him.
Didn't he tell us yesterday where the sausages are being kept.
That sounds like he something to do with this.
You mean..
You mean he's accepting responsibility for being a criminal?
Yeah, that part sounds weird too.
Then, please excuse me.
Sana-chan, Naozumi-kun.
After coming here, I've noticed too many strange things happening.
It's better that we don't attract attention.
If something happens to you two...
...no that can't happen.
Anyway I think when Gary Hamilton-san comes back everything will be cleared.
Until then, we'll have to protect ourselves.
Yes.
That's right.
Oh oh oh! Night comes down.
I think you're saying that it's nighttime.
Alright then, I'll go back to my room.
OK, goodnight.
Goodnight.
I'll protect you.
Eh?
I'll protect you Sana-chan.
Yeah...thank you.
I'm happy, Naozumi-kun.
See ya.
Last night's footsteps.
Wasn't my imagination.
It's coming.
Next room? Or Naozumi-kun's?
Ahhh! What is this person!
Who are you?
Ah! Hey wait!
She disappeared.
Sana-chan...
...are you alright?
What happened?
It ran away...
What?
A ghost..
It went in that way.
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!)
On the next episode of Kodomo no Omocha, number 68
How come in the beginning..
That mom really is..
Michelle?
I don't like that person.
But most importantly...
That Hayama look-alike's name really is..
It's Brad isn't it?
That kid really looks like Hayama, but he's less serious.
But more importantly... The ghost I'm head over heels for!
Well then I...
What?
This well...
Is it scary?
That kind of feeling is...
Actually wants to faint.
"Really in a Daze."
It hurts!
