"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, OK!?

Hi, I am Kurata Sana, Jinbo Middle School first year student.
My manager and driver, Rei-kun. But in New York he doesn't drive.
The amazing white bat, Babbit.
The child star who began his career as I started mine, Kamura Naozumi-kun.
Whoa, he looks identical to my old friend. It's Brad!! He's American.
I'm Kurata Sana!
I'm Kamura Naozumi!
Enjoy yourselves.
Um.. about Mr. Hamilton...
Eh?
Hayama?
Who is he? Your boyfriend?
Argh!
Sana-chan!
Ah!
Are you alright? What happened?
I saw...
What did you see?
A ghost.
Episode 68: Experiencing the mysteries of life.
Ghost?!
Yup. It appeared.
Hahaha! That's impossible!
Here.
Thanks.
Here.
Thanks.
Really? Really.
What in the world is wrong with this house?!
Strange things keep happening since yesterday... and now a ghost?!
But the guidebook doesn't say anything about ghosts...
or what to do when one appears!
Hahaha! Ghosts don't exist in this world!
We don't exist...
AHH!
What's wrong with everybody? You look like you've seen a ghost.
URGH!
Actually, Ramsey-san... there's an uncomfortable matter.
May I know what it is?
I saw it, you know...
Ah, what is it that you saw?
It could be a demon, you know... like this.
Demon?
Yes. A blonde girl wearing a dress.
Ahh.. About that...
Eh? You know about it, Ramsey-san?
Well... That is actually...
Ramsey...
Don't participate in idle gossip that they don't need to hear about.
I'm very sorry, Madam.
Everyone...
Yes!
Did everyone sleep well last night?
Yes..
I think maybe it's because I swapped my pillows...
But never mind, it's not that important...
Phew..
Shoulders may ache. [Sign: Scary person.]
We would like to contact Mr. Hamilton immediately...
Eh? Oh... I see...
How is it?
Well, it seems that he's currently...
involved in a big project in Hollywood now...
I heard that finding him is harder than finding the President himself.
Mr. Hamilton is New York's Broadway's king, number one producer according to Tarandel.
Sounds like he's really busy.
But Hamilton's the one who called us over!
If we can't speak to the producer, we can't take the next step...
Alright! I'll find him.
Where? Hollywood?
We can't just leave things like this! Since I have nothing to do anyway...
Great! I can still catch the noon flight!
Your first rehearsal is today.You'll be OK, right?
Sure...
Don't be late for the 10 o'clock appointment, OK?
Yes...
I'll pop by the hospital to check on Maeda-san's condition.
If it's not too much trouble.
So Rei-kun goes to look for Mr. Gary Hamilton in Hollywood.
On the other hand, Sana-chan and [Sign: The First Meeting]
Naozumi-kun depart together to attend their first rehearsal!
Oooohh..
What a classic car...
Ahh...
Sorry to keep you waiting, please let me drive you there.
Thanks...
If it's not too much trouble.
Please..
Argh!
Ladies first.
Thank you...
Ahaha... I beg your pardon!
This is tight...
Ehhh? Really? It's only a stomachache?
Yeah! It seems that Maeda-san ate something called Manhattan at the airport...
...and another one called New York's Lover and other weird stuff.
This is embarrassing...
So don't worry, it's not cause he was poisoned or anything.
That's a relief!
All right then, I'm running late for my plane so...Bye!!
That was quick. It's New York all right.
Oh man, Maeda-san only causes anxiety to us.
But it's still a relief that he's alright now.
Although strange things keep happening since we arrived..
Maybe we're overthinking it...
Sana-chan..
It's like coming to Broadway and becoming the main character of a suspense drama.
That's true, but it's still a relief anyway.
Naozumi-kun, although we can't seem to relax, let's work hard together.
Yeah, we'll work hard!
Argh!
What happened?
A flat tire.
It's done.
Thank you.
Anything can happen in New York! [Sign: What the..?]
Tires burst in Japan too. [Sign: What the..?]
That's true.
This is the studio?
Ehh?
Let's go, Sana-chan.
Let's go, Naozumi-kun.
Alright then! Show them the Japanese spinning elf power!
Wait a minute, Sana-chan! I can't do that...
Good morning!
Sana-chan.. Sana-chan!
Eh? It already started?
Yeah.. although it isn't 10:00 yet..
Eh? Why is that old lady here too?
Sana-chan!
Maybe you haven't realized but...
I am the technical director of Mr. Hamilton's stage plays.
First I've heard of it.
Nobody waits until the exact time to come in.
They come two to three hours ahead to practice by themselves.
Everyone..
Let me introduce two famous artistes who have come all the way from Japan!
Famous?
Artiste?
Where are they, Michelle?
They're right here. Sana Kurata and Naozumi Kamura.
Aw, come on! Michelle's such a joker!
Aarrrghh... I am Kurata Sana!
Sana-chan!
Whoops.. what am I doing?
Babbit is feeling very good right now.
Um... I'm Kamura Naozumi, pleased to meet you.
Hey Michelle, are you serious about this? These babies are movie stars?
They dance very well.
Oh yes... I want to see both of your dance moves.
I wonder if you could show them to everyone?
Eh?
Now? Right here?
Yeah, let's see! Let's see!
Don't, Sana-chan.
Eh?
I have a feeling we're being made fun of.
Is... that so...
Yeah... or else things wouldn't be like this right from the start...
But I can't take this lying down...
Eh?
Well, since they think we can't do it, we'll prove them wrong
by showing them something whether it's tango or waltz!
Right! Naozumi-kun, gimme a beat!
Sana-chan, you're jumping into something without looking again.
Everyone! Better look carefully!
I am Kurata Sana, 12 years old! I've lead a very colorful life since birth!
In Komawari Theatre, I learned this dance step!
Dance! Dance! The time has come! To dance you need to be cheerful and happy!
Ah.. I'm a little embarrassed..
Naozumi-kun shall spin as well!
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
We're spinning, we're spinning...
You can't see this anywhere.. except in Kodomo no Omocha!
Let's add in other dance steps! Twist and twist some more! I can do this too!
1-2! 1-2! 1-2-3!
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N!
I'm dancing too! I'm dancing too!
Dance, dance, dance, dance!
Sana-chan's million mini-twirls!
Twirl twirl twirl twirl..
Sana-chan!
Sana-chan! Hang in there!
It hurts..
Oil..?
Sana-chan! Are you OK? Sana-chan, Sana-chan... Sana-chan!
What's "orokok anno"?
It's "Onna Kokoro"! (Woman's heart!)
"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!
Um...I don't have a bone fracture, do I?
Hello? Excuse me? Doctor hey hey?
N-No way... I can't dance again?!
Hmm ... well...
You'll be fine in no time! In fact, you can climb Mt. Everest tomorrow!
Really?
Yay! "Mou man tai" in Cantonese is "No problem" in American!
Just say "No problem"!
Ah, Kurata is as mischievous as she looks.
Oh, man...
Yo!
Ah! You're the guy with no manners from yesterday!
I have a name you know... Brad.
Why? What are you doing here, huh?
Because I wanted to see Kurata. The feeling was so strong I just flew right over.
Just kidding actually! My high school is nearby.
High school?
He's been cutting school for a few months straight now.
Brad? What are you here for?
Doctor! Don't think I'm being a troublemaker!
I'm actually here to be Kurata's bodyguard.
Eh?! I didn't know of such an arrangement!
You better be careful... you two have been targeted.
Eh?
Wait a minute, what's that supposed to mean?!
There's all sorts of people here.
If their acting roles were taken or replaced, who knows what they'd do...
What's that supposed to mean?
New York is not what you guys think it is.
What kind of joke is this?!
If I'm being attacked because of such small puny matters,
then a few dozen lives aren't enough?! What do they treat humans as?
Ouch! Pain! Pain!
Whatever... Germans or Americans? Eh?
Kurata Sana, what's your motive...
Hey, Brad ...
We came here because of the musical, not just for ourselves ...
but also to see the audience enjoy watching it ...
so could you tell them that our goals are differen? If you should see them...
Germans or Americans or whatever.
If I should see them?
It's so painful...
Get on...
Eh? What? You want to carry me? No need ...
Kurata really knows nothing huh? In America, you have to...
accept a guy's good intentions ... if you're a lady...
Fine, if you say so...
Actually he's not such a bad guy.
See ya...
Thank you very much.
Is it over already?
Naozumi-kun ..
Wh-what in the world happened to you?
Sana-chan, sorry about that.. how's your leg?
Don't worry about that now, what happened to you?
Did someone do something?...
No, I've just been horribly trained by Michelle-san.
Eh? Michelle-san?
She said to practice the basics of dancing...
I had to do 100 laps on the rooftop.
100 laps?!
Then it was 100 pushups and then 100 sit-ups.
These aren't the basics of dance training at all!
She said my dancing experience is too little and my stamina isn't enough.
It's kind of strange...
What's strange ?
Michelle-san...
I wanted to accompany you to the doctor, but she refused...
There wasn't a need anyway since the injury wasn't so serious.
It's not that ..
I'm sure she doesn't like us at all.
Hm, I suppose so... Maybe she hasn't really understood us.
Maybe...
Of course!
Using tedious training for us to keep up,
adding tears and sweat on our unfaltering spirits...
I guess so...
Definitely Naozumi-kun! Hey Naozumi-kun...
work hard.
Work hard, OK? The two of us.
Sorry, Sana-chan. I should be saying that to you!
Hahaha! Dou Mai Dou Mai Mou Man Tai! ("No Problem" in Cantonese).
If it's 2 people, then we can work hard together right?
Yeah, if it's 2 people.
Weird happenings?
Not really, why?
It seems that someone has been in here...
Even my diary was flipped through.
Was anything stolen?
No, nothing's been stolen.
Hmm, who could it have been? Ramsey-san? Michelle-san?
Is there anyone else who's here?
There is the butler MacBagabban, the bodyguards and the chauffeur.
And there are other guests who come and go.
The actual person is MacBagya ... can't pronounce it...
You had better be careful ... you two have been targeted.
Well, it seems that we've really been targeted huh?
Eh?
No! That can't be right. What am I talking about?
Yo !
Oh Brad, thanks for earlier.
It was nothing. Your flat chest leaning on my back made me feel really fortunate.
What are you talking about?
Oh, angry now Kurata? Actually you look quite cute like this you know.
Geez, you know, you're a real weirdo .. What are you doing here?
I'm here to help out. Michelle asked me to dry-clean her clothes.
She gets very paranoid when it comes to her clothes... Can't be helped.
Wow, it's really glamorous.
If the tiniest dirt gets on it, she'll throw a fit the whole town will hear!
If it's anything to do with work, Michelle can get very hysterical.
Will she be angry? I thought she was one of those expressionless people.
She's very scary when she's angry.
Anyway, her pride is very great...
and she doesn't compromise with others.
Things have turned ugly with Mr. Hamilton over the casting...
Probably because he cast the both of you...
Really...
[They're really disliked by Michelle.]
New York.
It's happening again... I keep having the feeling that we're being spied on.
OK!
Hey! Wait a minute!
Hey ! You ! Wait a minute !
She must be that ghost that Sana-chan mentioned...
Naozumi... so handsome...
[Sign: A weird beautiful girl appears ...]
C-Cute-chan! [Sign: A weird beautiful girl appears ...]
Eh ? A girl ?
Yeah...It could have been a coincidence ...
but maybe she's the ghost you saw last night.
Ah, that could be so... definitely so...
She was walking up and down in front of your room.
But she had legs so she couldn't be a ghost.
Maybe she's a girl who lives here.\ Yes...
But if that's so, then why wasn't she introduced to us? It's really weird.
Sorry to keep you waiting, you may start now.
Itadakimasu. (Said before eating).
Please do so.
To think...even having meals is so nerve-wracking. It's so tiring.
Yeah, let's turn in early tonight then.
Sana-chan, be careful and remember to lock your door, OK?
Naozumi-kun, you too.
Thanks.
GET OUT ! Go back to Japan!
How could this happen?
This is ..
GET OUT! Go back to Japan!
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!)
