"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.
Manager Rei-kun.
The American, Brad, who looks just like an old friend of mine.
The amazing white bat, Babbit! Love you, love you, love you!
My best partner in New York, Naozumi-kun.
This...
...type of thing...
Who would do such a thing?
This makes it pretty clear, Sana-chan.
Someone has their eye on us.
["Go back to Japan!"]
Episode 69: Is there a goddess of love now? You also have emerald eyes.
This is terrible! How could this happen?
My room is the same.
Right now I have the "angry but can't express myself" feeling.
What is this?
Why do we have to have this "angry but can't express myself" feeling?
Who would do such an "angry but can't express myself"...
feeling-causing thing? Do you know, Shimura-san?
My name is Ramsey.
Eh? That face looks like it knows something.
I don't know anything.
New York is sure full of puzzles.
Anyway, you won't be able to use this room as it is.
Please get another room ready immediately.
Yes sir.
Hey, wait!
Mr. Makubanban!
That's MacBagab... (mumble)
Looks like that Ramsey-san and Maku-whatever are running away.
I think you left the bath running...
It feels like we can't trust anyone.
It feels like..
It feels like I'm getting angry. I want to find...!
Find what?
That ghostly girl in the white dress!
If she doesn't come out, I'm going to find her myself!
Did she do something?
I have no idea! But there might be a clue!
Isn't there a saying that one who's drowning will even eat straw?
I've never heard that one...
That should be "One who's drowning will grasp at straws".
Meaning...
Even if we start with just a tiny clue...
Where did you get that?
If we investigate closely enough, the culprit will...
reveal himself, don't you think? Washington-kun?
Got it...
HEY GHOST IN A WHITE DRESS!
Sana-chan!
I am Kurata Sana, 12 years old.
I won't run and I won't hide!
Hiding and doing sneaky things, you should be ashamed of yourself!
Sana, could you tone it down a little?
Mean, mean! Sana, I can't understand what you're saying...
Kurata Sana, what kind of behavior is that?
Where where where where... is the Ghostly Girl?
What is all this noise about?
Michelle!
What time do you think it is, making such a racket? Have you no manners?
But it can't be helped, ma'am.
A tooth for a tooth. Extreme situations call for extreme methods.
Heh heh heh heh heh.
That's a rather cold look.
Our rooms were broken into.
I heard.
Eh?
Isn't Ramsey already preparing other rooms for you?
Moving into them should take care of the problem.
It's not just the rooms.
Yeah! I mean, yes.
All kinds of odd things have been happening since we've been here.
And the only clue we have is this ghostly girl in a white dress.
Are you referring to me?
Cecile, you..
Mama, could you introduce us?
What, "Mama"?
My daughter, Cecile.
I'm Cecile Hamilton.
Pleased to meet you, Naozumi.
Uh, pleased to meet you, too.
Pleased to meet you, uh... Sona...
Not Sona!
It wasn't me.
The person who trashed your rooms wasn't me.
How could I do such a thing to important guests?
Right, Mama?
Yes.
But, but, SOMEONE must have done it, that's a fact.
Because our rooms are a total mess.
I've been longing to meet Naozumi. I've always been his fan.
Uh, thank you.
Hey, wait are you listening to me?
I've only seen pictures of you. I'm so glad to finally meet you.
I'm glad, too.
The color of Naozumi's eyes is the same as mine.
Eh?
Naozumi, Sana, don't you have any sense of being professional actors?
Huh? Huh?
Don't you have an early morning meeting with the stage manager tomorrow?
And a rehearsal after? Why are you still running around this late at night?
Hurry and go to your new rooms.
Cecile, you too.
Mama...
Come with me.
This week's Cecile-chan... Seriously.
What's this?
Mama! Mama give it back!
Don't tell me you like her!
Nah it's nothing like that...
Could you be a boy...?
Didn't you know?
Why did you disobey me, Cecile?
Didn't I say that you mustn't meet until I formally introduced you?
But Mama, you keep saying that but you were never going to let me meet him.
Meeting them isn't good for you.
What's going on? What do you mean?
Is it because I can't dance?
That's not it!
Then... Why?
That's not it, Cecile. It's all for your own good.
I don't understand, Mama.
Cecile, please, do as I tell you... until Father comes back, alright?
I'm happy too.
The same color eyes...
Eyes aren't the same color.
Brad, Brad!
Hey, Cecile, Good morning!
Brad! Listen, listen!
You're in a good mood!
I met Naozumi!
And talked to him, and shook his hand!
Isn't that great?
Ever since the first time I saw his picture in Daddy's room,
I thought that he was very handsome.
I took a photograph from Daddy's files. Don't tell anyone, Brad!
Naozumi's eyes are blue too, just like mine.
Who would have thought? This is so great!
Cecile...
Oh! Japanese Babbit has fallen in love!
American Babbit will make the introductions for now.
Pleased to meet everyone. I am the current stage manager, Scott.
Full name is Scott Scott. So you can call me by first or last name.
The title of this production is 'Endless Summer'...
A musical comedy inspired by Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.
This is the beginning, Naozumi-kun!
Yeah!
The female lead Alice will be played by Sharon Ryan.
The male lead Peter will be played by Harrison Hanks.
Tom by Charlie Murphy, Wendy by Sandra Foster, Jimmy by Jodie Hall.
And then Sana Kurata and Naozumi Kamura.
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
You don't have to stand up.
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
You two will play the twin fairies who try to bring
the two leads together and make them fall in love.
Twin fairies!
Twins!
There might not be many lines, but they're important roles.
I hope you can play this well, but don't break the stage.
What...
Sounds like the stage manager doesn't like us either.
There's a proverb that says young labor is worth buying.
No matter what it is for...
Please go home, old man.
Alright, let's begin.
Right!
Sana, Naozumi.
Yes! Yes!
You two...
We ended up running a hundred laps on the roof.
Pushups too. Why?
There's a proverb that says young labor is worth buying.
No matter what it is for...
Please go home, old man.
Too Exhausting!
I wonder if we'll have to keep doing this.
This isn't dance practice!
But Michelle-san said we're way behind the other performers.
Maybe this is dancing that requires stamina...
Hey. Staggering around like this, you must be tired huh.
Brad. Actually this is the stagger-dance lesson.
Don't over-do it.
Sounds like you were very busy last night.
News travels fast. That's right.
Do you know who the culprit might be?
I've told you already, there are all kinds of people here.
If a role is snatched away, you don't know what they might do.
It's best if you treat everyone around you as your enemy.
You too? Do you hate us too?
I have no reason to hate you.
That's true.
Don't be mad, Brad. I know you're a good person.
Huh?
It's your own fault. You're the one who said
to treat everyone around us as enemies.
Aaah! Kurata Sana!
A lot of things will happen here.
A big fat biscuit, line, line, triangle, heart plus wings and you get Babbit!
Aaah! Kurata Sana!
A lot of things will happen here.
Let's have some lunch, Naozumi-kun.
If we don't eat we'll have no energy this afternoon.
You're right.
Naozumi-kun! Are you alright? Naozumi-kun...
Odd!
Rest here a little more. I'll go buy some food.
I'm sorry.
I'll be right back!
Okay.
You need more energy...
I'm useless...
You must be Naozumi Kamura.
I know your secret.
Do you know the real reason you were invited to New York?
What? The real reason?
[Babbit counting song]
One, two, one-two-three-one...
One pile, one pile, there's one pile oh...
The one and only Babbit family clan, no problem...
One pile, one pile, there's one pile oh...
The one and only Babbit family clan, no problem...
One, two, one-two-three-two...
I want to confide in someone but I can't.
The hardest part is when I'm trying to be serious.
I want to confide in someone but I can't.
The hardest part is when I'm trying to be serious.
One, two, one-two-three-three...
Sri Lanka is next to India.
It's famous for its black tea.
Sri Lanka is next to India.
It's famous for its black tea.
Wahahaha! To be continued! [Note: each verse begins with words that rhyme
with one/two/three; e.g. three rhymes with 'Sri' from 'Sri Lanka']
Who are you?
Didn't I tell you? I'm someone who knows your secret.
What does that mean?
You want to know don't you? The real reason you were asked to New York City.
The real reason?
Yeah. You are...
Naozumi-kun! Naozumi-kun!
They sell some strange food here!
It's called Udon Burger!
Try some Japanese food and get back your energy!
Naozumi, I'll be back.
I found a really strange store!
They also sell Manju Dog and Tempura Sandwich!
Let's try those out next time!
He was referring to me specifically, not the both of us.
So it's really just me.
All that's happened since we arrived was because of me.
What's wrong, Naozumi-kun?
Uh, nothing.
Try some Udon Burger!
It doesn't taste too bad...
Must be bad.
Please be careful of American "Japanese food".
This week's Sana-chan.
Boy... what a big mistake. It would've been better not to eat it.
I'm sorry Naozumi-kun, will you be okay this afternoon?
Naozumi-kun?
Huh?
Are you alright? You're spacing out.
I'm fine! I'm fine! Like the Cantonese say, "Mou Man Tai" (No problem)!
Are you sure? Don't over-do it...
Really, it's nothing.
Go back to Japan.
Or else.
Second warning.
Next time it'll be the real thing.
You want to know don't you? The real reason you were asked to New York City.
If their real target is just me...
...then I've just pulled Sana-chan into a dangerous situation.
It's me ...
Who? Who's looking at us as a problem?
Michelle-san? Cecile? Brad? Or... or...
Looks like they were very frightened.
They'll be gone with their tails between their legs very soon.
They thought these knives were real.
This should do it.
Fly!
Oh! We forgot Rei-kun!
I've met him! Gary Hamilton. The big producer!
I'm really really moved! Great!
His face looked like this, with lots of character.
But with no sunglasses - that's just my trademark.
Mr. Hamilton told me...
"I've been watching their talent for a long time..."
"And I'm looking forward to seeing 'Mizu no Yakata' soon."
"They will definitely be a sensation in this production."
"Mr. Sagami, you better damn well believe me."
Uh, he didn't say "damn well", that was just me too. He's just so full of charm.
Wow, I want to become a producer as cool as he is.
That's probably not possible.
Mr. Hamilton says he'll be back next week, so do your best! Sana-chan, Naozumi-kun!
Eh?
What's up with you two? You look deflated.
Want a look at this?
Oh! This is Kodocha Episode 69! This hasn't been aired has it? Can I really see it?
The performer has become the fan! What's up with that?
Go back to Japan. Or else...
What the hell is going on?!
That something like this should happen while I'm gone!
Let's go home.
Let's go back to Japan.
Eh?
I just wanted to try my abilities on Broadway.
Although quitting is regrettable, it's not worth risking my life for.
Naozumi-kun...
I don't want to place you in any more danger.
This is a problem. To keep one's life is definitely important...
...but to give up on such a big job so easily...
...but you can't replace a lost life...
...but...
...Of course life is important.
But.. I ... I don't want to do that.
Sana-chan.
This is mysterious, strange, I don't understand it at all.
We were invited here by Mr. Gary Hamilton...
...and we're here for a musical production.
But having come here, it seems like we've been targeted.
The car suddenly came at us, and the chandelier also fell.
We thought it was that ghostly girl but she's Hamilton's child.
Our rooms were made a total disaster, our tire exploded...
...and Maeda-san is in the hospital,
The dance classes consisted of running laps.
And then... and then... suddenly we're threatened.
We can't figure out what is going on, or who is doing all this...
...but those people who are threatening us and trying to make us do as they want...
I just feel that they're low. I hate this, I feel horrible.
That's why... I AM NOT GOING HOME.
It's not Cecile's fault.
Hm?
Now what are you up to?
Thank you for your care for the past few days.
Eh?
I see. Well, this has been short. I will have the car ready immediately.
I wonder if there are seats on the flight.
We are not going back to Japan.
We will be moving to a hotel for the time being.
And we will be looking into renting a place.
We will do our best on stage.
And will be going to rehearsal every day.
We want the production to be a success, Michelle-san.
It will be a pleasure working with you.
Japanese-style bow.
Why are they doing this?
Naozumi...
What the hell are they thinking?
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)
Next week's Kodomo no Omocha, Episode 70...
(Mou man tai!)
What's going to happen?
The ones who attacked Sana-chan and Naozumi are...
Wait a minute, let me talk!
If you've been watching carefully, you can guess who the culprit is.
After every incident, Brad always appears, so
I think there's something going on with Brad.
You're right, the culprit must be Brad.
Can it really be solved so simply?
Sure, besides, we'll know it's not what we thought anyway.
What to do with this feeling? A bad premonition at lunchtime.
Is this Gary-san?
