"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!?
For fans by fans ^_~ - Please don't claim it as your own ...Thanks!!

I'm Kurata Sana, a 1st year middle school actress!
My manager, Rei-kun!
This guy is the spitting image of a Japanese
acquaintance, but he's an American, Brad!
I thought she was a ghost, but in fact she is Hamilton-san's only daughter, Cecile.
The mysterious white bat, Babbit!
Do you know what nattosurakku is?
My brave-hearted but gentle ally in our New York adventures, Naozumi-kun.
There she is!
It's the same color as mine, isn't it?
Eh?
Naozumi.. Kamura, right?
Do you want to know the real reason you were invited to New York?
Double hold-up!
Let's go back to Japan...
This is all wrong! This doesn't feel right!
We will do our best on stage!
We will practice the rehearsals every day.
Naozumi...
Episode 70: Suspense at lunchtime
Japanese!
I am Japanese after all!
Things will work out somehow!
Because we're Japanese from Japan....
Eating umeboshi feels good! [Plum pickled in lots of salt.]
It fills my blood with a young man's love.
Japanese!
Aren't you glad to be Japanese, where even little ones can feel at ease?
I feel relaxed for the first time since we came to New York.
Since we've arrived here many things have
happened..thrill..suspense..mystery..unexplained events.
But who would go that far to chase us away from New York?
It must be one of our resourceful rivals from
Japan who came after us, don't you think?
Brad warned me about that, but still...
You can't tell what people will do just to get a chance.
It's hard to believe that they could have snuck into Hamilton-san's
mansion, spray-painted the walls and dropped the chandelier.
Can't you think of anyone else?
But everyone looks suspicious or dangerous,
and they all have something to do with our business.
But no one else has a motive, right? If no motive then what?
I told you before that Cecile didn't do anything wrong!
Sana-chan?
You're not asleep, are you?
No... I don't know who is interfering with us, or why,
and I was thinking about how absurd all of this is.
A little while ago I was angry and all I thought about
was pay back, but now... I just feel kinda sad.
Really... it all seems so stupid.
What's wrong, Naozumi-kun?
I may be the only one being targeted.
Eh?!
There's something I haven't told you yet, Sana-chan.
Yesterday, a stranger approached me...
Do you want to know the real reason you were invited to New York?
I didn't get to hear the reason, but I am sure he was talking only about me.
He didn't use plural.
So if it's only me who is being targeted, then I can't stay here any longer.
W-w-w-w-wait! If you can't stay here then where will you go?
If you're with me, you'll be in danger too! That's why I...
Sana-chan!
That must hurt.
You're worried about what that strange man said,
but we still don't know what's going on.
Is there a reason you might be targeted?
Naozumi-kun... we came here to do a musical, right?
We were so happy about it!
We said let's do our best together, right?
Things happened, but it's still our chance to do it!
Still our chance to do it! Doesn't that sound kinda strange?
Ooops, wrong sign! This is for another sequence!
How should I know?
Alright, I'll do it.
Finally.
But in exchange you'll have to protect me. Even my life may be in danger!
Ease up a little Naozumi-kun, relax, relax!
I was speaking seriously!
Thank you. I'm glad, Naozumi-kun...
But now that we understand each other, do your best as my partner in the play!
Eh?
I have tickets to go back to Japan if you still need them.
I told you that we're staying!
Who.. could it be..?
Does this mean that there's someone else other than me
who doesn't like Naozumi being here?
Anyway, it's delightful to have that troublesome bunch out of the house.
Geez..it won't come off.
Here's some clean water, Mama.
Oh, thank you.
Mama? I didn't know they were related.
This isn't your doing, is it Brad?
What are you saying, Mama? Why would I do such a thing?
It's OK then.
If you did do such a thing then we wouldn't be needed here any longer.
I thought they were going to give up easily.
At least now Naozumi is out of Cecile's sight.
Brad... Naozumi... left.
Cecile.
Why did he leave? Why?
Isn't he coming back any more? Tell me if you know!
He's not... coming back.
Why?! We finally got to meet, then why? Why, Brad, why?
Cecile...
Cecile..!
The rehearsals, right?
Yes, that's it.
Putting up with Michelle-san every day.
That's right, that's right.
A little while ago we decided to do the musical whatever happens...
Whatever happens...
But reality is harsher than that, right?
For example when people...
When people...
But I still wonder why it's so uncomfortable to be around Michelle-san.
So the problem is Michelle-san, isn't it?
Bye then, I'm going to go look for an apartment.
Ah. He's leaving.
Watch the tone! What are you getting at?
Please come with us! You're the manager after all!
It's not that easy to find an apartment! We can't stay at the hotel forever!
Ah Rei-kun, are those apartment listings?
Yes.
I'd like a nice expensive place.
No way! We can't spend money so freely!
But an expensive place might have a little more greenery.
The man from yesterday!
Yo!... You already recognize me.
You are... Please tell me! What's the real reason!
Many things happened after I met you! Who is targeting us?!
Hey slow down! You think someone is targeting you?
Yes.
Please tell me what you know. All of it!
So that's how it is.
I wanted to tell you everything I know anyway.
Listen, you are....
Aaah! What's going on!
Meddlers again!
Wait!
Are you all right, Naozumi-kun? Are you injured?
It would be a great disaster if something happened to our important acting talent!
It was that man I talked about earlier!
Who could that pizza-scooter guy be?
Listen, always stick together when I'm not with you.
When the rehearsal is over I'll come pick you up.
OK.
Sheesh! I hate columns!
Hmm? What's this? Does this thing go into the slot?
Cecile-chan!
I thought this was an important message!
From today on we will practice a new rehearsal!
We will do our best!
Your part is later on. Go practice your lines outside.
"They don't need to see us."
"Let's help them with our powers!"
"They don't need to see us."
"Let's help them with our powers!"
"They don't need to see us."
"Let's help them with our powers!"
We already know the lines, right?
Yes. That's all of it...
The dance after this is our main dance, right?
The "Soaring magic of love" dance.
What if...
...we try it...
...a little...?
Ah..they were watching.
We did it again, I guess...
The water is deepening again.
[Tezuka Babbit's Mangaka Debut]
It's a nice place, the furniture is fine, there's
a doorman, the only problem is the rent price...
Can we trim the price a little...
No no...
...somehow...
No no...
...just a little bit please!!!
No no...
Follow the swing, make the price lower...
No no...
You old dirt bag!
Let's see the next one!
Ah I see, certainly an economical solution.
Hmmm?
A little cold maybe, but it looks quiet at least.
A cheap apartment has its drawbacks as well...
Miss Cecile! Miss Cecile!
The roses are...
Rosey! Did you find the young lady?
She is not in the garden either!
Let's continue the search!
Yes Sir!
Cecile disappeared? Gone to his place maybe?!
One, two, one, two, three
Four!
Folk dance is a fun dance.
There is a cute girl, let's dance with her!
Folk dance is a fun dance.
There is a cute girl, let's dance with her!
One, two, one, two, three
Five!

Six!
Hiccups, hiccups they won't stop.
Hiccups, already six, it doesn't stop.
Hiccups, hiccups they won't stop.
Hiccups, already six, it doesn't stop.
You didn't sing along again, right! [Note: each verse begins with
words that rhyme with four/five/six; e.g. four rhymes with "folk"]
Ah, Rei-kun!
That pose.. maybe it means he didn't find an apartment.
I already went to two places.
I told you it's not easy to find a good one!
I'll continue my search with full enthusiasm. I want a car!
Fight on, Rei-kun!
Naozumi!
Yes?!!
What is that...
It seems to be Cecile...
I made this, isn't it great? It's a present for you, Naozumi!
Wow Naozumi-kun, beautiful!
I would like to laugh about it...
But if Cecile's here that means...
I made it all by myself! It's great, isn't it?
Let's go, Naozumi!
Where are you going?
Listen Naozumi!
I don't know anything!
Isn't this kinda strange? Hey!
Why? What is strange?
When you left Hamilton-san's house, did anyone come with you?
No.
So it may be trouble for you to be alone with us,
so it's an uncomfortable feeling, and...
Anyway, Michelle-san must be worried about you.
Mama wouldn't worry.
Eh?
Mama hates girls who can't dance.
Eh?
We're going home, Cecile.
No way! Let me go, Brad!
Just come.
Ow!
Hey Brad, don't be so rough.
Don't worry, I will make sure she gets home safely.
No, Brad! I told you to let me go!
Naozumi-kun is over there, let me go! Stupid Brad!
This week's Brad!
He was mean to Cecile!
Brad! Enough already! Let me go!
Cecile, you can't go see them without telling Michelle first!
Don't make her sad!
Why would Mama be sad? Why?
Let's go! We have to get home before Michelle-san!
I hate you! I hate you so much! I hate you and Mama both! I hate you!
Welcome home madam.
I'm tired. Please bring something light to drink up to my room.
Most certainly.
Cecile! I'm coming in!
Welcome home, Mama.
I'm home.
Watch, it goes like this!
Their manager was a disaster looking for an apartment today.
Staying at the hotel will get expensive for them in the long run.
Just a little more, and they'll run back to Japan.
We'll do it tomorrow.
This week's... I hate this guy!
I will definitely find an apartment tomorrow!
Naozumi-kun!
Yes?
What are you doing?
I was thinking about why I was invited to New York.
Ah, what the pizza guy said?
Makes you worry, right?
Yes, it does.
You will practice your lines today as well.
I thought so.
Should we try...
...once...
...more?
Yo! Nice, nice!
Brad!
I see now why they called you from Japan.
You don't mean that.
No, it's true. I really think so.
Let's have lunch together on the rooftop. I brought sandwiches.
Just what kind of attitude shift is this?
I just want to get along better with my foreign friends.
I really hope so!
Cecile went back to the mansion, right?
Yes, safely.
Seems you can take care of some things.
I guess. I am a servant of the Hamilton's after all.
And Cecile is kinda like my little sister.
Brad, help us!
You're in the way! Leave us and go back to Japan!
Gary?
Michelle.
Welcome home, Dear.
This is the musical's sound and music producer, Gary Hamilton.
Thank you. We will certainly make this musical a big success.
Gary!
Let's hear your explanation.
I called the mansion before I came here.
What happened to the boy?
What do you mean? Why did you call?
You have ignored my decisions and chased away Naozumi and Sana Kurata, right?
Don't jump to conclusions!
There was nothing I could do about it!
Anyway, you...
HEEEEEELP!!!
HEEEEEELP US!!!
HEEEEEELP US!!!!
Hey, Brad, dammit!
At least tell us why you want us to go back so badly!
Shut up! Hurry up, shut her mouth!
But she bites!
If only you hadn't come here... go home!
So I'm the only target, just as he said.
If you had just turned tail and run back to Japan all this wouldn't have had to happen.
It's your fault! It's all your fault!
What are you doing, Brad?!
Crap! Let's split!
Jerks! Next time I see you
you will have tomato ketchup andmayonnaise coming out of your nose...
Ugh that sounds sick...
Ah, thank you Mister! I am Kurata Sana. Huh?
Gary?
Huh..Gary?!
Are you all right, Naozumi?
Yes sir.
Brad. How come you did this?
Excuse me. Is it true that Naozumi Kamura is staying here?
Yes. And if I may ask, you are...?
I am Naozumi's mother.
For heaven's sake, there's not a single..
Pardon me. Thank you very..
Looking for an apartment, right?
Ye..yes.
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

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

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
