"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 student.
The strange white bat, Babbit!
I think "Lapa" is a Chinese phrase.
The friend I trust most in New York, Naozumi-kun.
Episode 78: The first and last Mother-Son battle
It can't be.
Wait a minute!! What's up with you guys?
Wait!
Hey!
Fine, be that way!
There'll be plenty of people to take your place!
Plenty!
M-my...
My dream has...
Please come with me!
Please!
Naozumi-kun.
Are you coming then, Naozumi?
Tomorrow is opening night, I'd like to prepare myself.
I'll stay at the theater tonight.
What?
I'll go with you.
Sana-chan! You're making rash decisions again.
But Yuko, she...
Hello?
Yes, that's right.
Sensei!
I see, I guess it was wrong of me to ask you.
All the best on your stage show.
Don't catch cold.
Thank you!
Well then we're off!
We'll just leave the rest to you.
Wait, Sana-chan!
Sana-chan! Sensei says she's coming tomorrow morning.
Please tell Mama sorry for me!
Sana-chan, you don't have to keep me company.
Ah, don't worry about it.
We're as close as skin and clock now!
You mean we're partners right?
I'll follow your lead.
High five!
What a strong friendship! [Sign: The last self-rehearsal]
Alright, alright, alright.
Stop! Stop!
Absolutely no good.
Absolutely no good?
What are you thinking?
Are you trying to be first-class dancers?
Gary Hamilton didn't invite you here to see you dance the way the other dancers do.
It was to see Sana Kurata and Naozumi Kamura dance.
Your dance is done.
Don't use up all your energy.
I won't allow you to rehearse anymore.
Just let your brains be blank.
Now go home and go to bed.
"Let your brains be blank"
What should we do?
Let's go.
Don't be this way Yuko.
Yuko!
Let go of me, leave me alone!
I have no talent, no nothing.
It doesn't matter what happens to me.
How can I leave you?
You're my lover, I love you.
How, how can you say "I love you"?
Don't you look down on me, as a woman who uses children!
Yuko!
Well, you only have me, right?
So let's go to the country and live a quiet life.
No, I don't want to!
Yuko.
Uh, we did knock though.
Hmph, are you here to laugh at me?
I came to laugh at you.
What's strange about that?
You hurt me so many times.
And the dream you keep chasing disappeared in a flash.
How can I help but laugh?
Why you!
The woman who deserted me twice is now down and out.
It feels great.
How can you say this type of thing to your own mother?
Ha, you should talk.
Ah that felt good.
Sana-chan, let's go.
Uh, OK ok.
What a pity, Naozumi.
You are my son after all.
That's why you'll never have any talent.
Because you are my son.
You're fated to fail too!
You'll only embarrass yourself in the limelight. Go crying back to Japan!
Hey that's a bit too much.
Whether or not I'm your son,
I'll prove it to you on stage.
Are you brave enough to come?
Huh, I don't need to be brave, Naozumi.
I'm not going, I'm not about to waste my time.
You're weak, cowardly, useless..
Say whatever you like.
Alright, get out, get out!
Too scary. [Go home, go home]
Naozumi-kun, are you still awake?
She's such a reckless woman.
It makes me so mad.
Yeah, she's really horrible. How can she be like that?
But...
But?
Maybe you wouldn't understand this.
But really...
Even though that's how she really is...
I like it.
Compared to the fake, gentle face she had
I like that natural face of hers better.
I'm not too clear about it, but I guess I can understand.
They're leaving! The audience is leaving!
It's my fault! My fault!
No it's not, Naozumi-kun!
How embarassing for you, you've failed haven't you?
You really have no talent.
That's not true!
That's definately not true!
You idiot!
What kind of dream was that?
Good morning, Sana-chan.
Good morning.
Your trumpet sounds really loud and clear.
Yeah, it's because my mind's all blank.
Really? No wonder, that's great!
Today's finally here.
Yeah.
I must make it a success!
It will be.
Right, it must be.
Do you think Yuko-san will come?
It doesn't matter. Today I'm standing on stage for myself.
You're crisp as a radish chip today.
Guess so.
Do you remember what you said when we first arrived?
What was it?
Let's do our best together.
Yeah, I did say that.
If we're together, we can do our best.
But you know, at the time I didn't think so many things would happen.
I've been able to keep doing my best because you've been there.
Because you've been here, I've done my best.
Me too.
Since really, there's just the two of us here.
Just the two of us.
Naozumi-kun, let's hear one more!
Rick, Rick!
Hurry and get up, we're going.
G-going? Where to?
Mexico, Mexico.
You said you were taking me to the countryside.
I'm tired of this New York City that won't recognize me.
Hurry up and get ready!
Sanaaaa-chaaaaan!
Huh? Eh? Huh? Ramse...
Shimura-san!
Sana-chan!
Have you been well?
Yeah, great! When did you get here?
Just now.
Where's Mama?
Gone sight-seeing with Bernadette-san.
That was quick.
They hit it off right when they met.
I'm Kurata Misako.
I'm Bernadette Pink.
Shake hands.
Let's go sight-seeing. Let's go sight-seeing.
Sensei! But your promise.
You said you'd start writing as soon as you arrived.
You're naive! This is New York!
What's that got to do with it?
Hyaa! Go!
Misako's awesome.
Sensei, stop!!
Let's not worry about Sensei. [Sign: Sensei's gone sight-seeing]
Woooow!
Here, have a taste of Japan.
Let's eat!
There's tea too.
What's wrong, Naozumi-kun?
There's Mentaiko in this.
Oh my, you don't like Mentaiko?
Naozumi doesn't like anything too spicy.
Cause he's still got a little kid's taste.
He doesn't have an adult's taste.
Quit yakking already.
It's okay.
Here, this is Okaka, why don't you eat this.
The rice balls have Mentaiko in them, sorry!
Hurry up, I'm leaving.
But there's more luggage.
Just leave it!
H-hey! Hey wait! Wait!
So...! [And then... finally!]
Naozumi!
Maeda-san! Why are you here? You're supposed to be in the hospital.
It's my dear Naozumi's opening day, how could I not come?
I snuck out.
Is that alright?
I wish... my body hurts!
Please be careful, you're getting old.
Don't say that!
What about you, how are you doing?
Don't worry, I've done everything that I need to.
Oh you... you....
Oof, Maeda-san, this really hurts!
Naozumi-kun, are you ready?
Oops! Sorry to interrupt.
It's not like that.
What are you doing?
How are your injuries?
Naozumi's growth makes me so happy.
Maeda-san, I understand how you feel, but leave everything here to me.
Why don't you go back to the hospital?
I'm tired of the hospital.
It's finally here.
Yeah, finally.
Don't be nervous.
You too.
You invited child stars from Japan for this musical, wasn't it a gamble?
Don't worry, this performance will be a success.
I've just confirmed it.
Just?
Broadway standards must be pretty far above theirs.
No, there is no difference in their ability to move an audience.
So he's Gary Hamilton.
Yes, Nao's...
So, enjoy the show.
Wow, Broadway really is different.
You're about to go on stage yourself, this isn't the time to be wowed.
The size of the stage in my dream last night was the same as the one at school.
You dreamed about it?
You must've been pretty nervous.
Yeah yeah.
I dreamed I fell on stage and then jumped around by myself.
But you blamed yourself for it and yelled loudly "I failed!"
Eh? Naozumi-kun?
Sana-chan...
I can't move.
Naozumi-kun.
Is it really OK not to watch Naozumi's performance?
Shut up!
Is that OK?
It is your son's performance.
I said shut up!
Taco's this way! [ <= Mexico ]
On the other hand.
What's going on?
Oh no... I'm scared!
You're kidding right.
It's almost time for us.
Shit!
You are my son after all.
You'll never have talent.
Because you are my son.
In the end you'll fail too!
I'm her son.
Shit, I'm her son!
Shoot, I shouldn't have mentioned the dream.
Sana-chan, I'm sorry, but I can't.
Naozumi-kun.
Can you feel it?
...my thumping heart.
We're together all along.
You and I are together.
Haven't we been together this entire time?
Sana-chan.
Just think about me now.
Only about me.
See, we're twin angels.
Twin angels.
So what if it's Broadway?
It's just a giant school concert.
How arrogant. [Giant School Concert?]
Why haven't you said anything since then?
Didn't you tell me to shut up?
God.
God you're a pain in the ass!
It'll be the next scene, Misako, I'm so excited.
Misako?
She's going to the restroom.
Oh.
Once she gets excited she keeps running to the restroom.
No I'm not.
I'm going to buy some popcorn. Sensei doesn't get excited.
Yuko.
There's nobody here.
Why don't we help them?
Oh oh oh.
Erk, they've started!
They're great!
Yuko!
This is terrible.
No good, Naozumi! You can't go on this way.
What?
A strange statement! I should note it down... [Note... Note...]
So how was it?
What are your thoughts on your first Broadway performance?
You first Kurata.
Oh, I was too nervous up there, I don't really know.
We couldn't tell at all, that was a great performance.
Really? I just pretended it was a big school concert.
School concert?
Uh, no, nevermind.
It's a good thing Bernie's here.
This is a bit too heavy for my head.
Yeah, was it that necessary?
And Naozumi Kamura, how about you?
Um, uh, I feel the same.
Just a sec...
Not bad.
Let's go, Rick!
Huh? Okay.
Goodbye, Mother.
Cheers!
Aah, how wonderful, opening night was a success.
Yeah, Sana-chan was awesome.
Nao-chan was awesome too.
Sana-chan was more awesome.
Naozumi was more awesome.
Maeda-san snuck out of the hospital again. [They're both awesome!!]
Really, you've both worked really hard.
Thank you.
We couldn't have done it without your help.
What are you talking about? It was done with your own strength.
No, we really do have to thank you!
Oh right! News on Broadway's new stars might be on TV.
We're going to be on American TV?
Well, you both did great and deserve some praise.
Hearing Mama say that makes me feel kind of shy.
It's Gary-san! This is Hamilton-san.
So rumor has it that the Japanese child star Naozumi Kamura is your son.
Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
Naozumi Kamura is my son.
Gary!
He... said... it.
"Wait, I already want to break up!"
I said while deflecting a kiss now,
Firmly pushing you away.
Before my eyes, surprised, you fell silent.
I want to avoid the road I must follow.
It's not that I can't see the end.
Just going around in circles, even from getting lost
If I see it clearly now it should give me courage.
Love me deeper. I want to hug and hurt you. (I wanna hurt ya.)
Touch me, pinch me, I'll chase after you. (I'm gonna catch ya!)
Deeper, deeper, get serious quickly. (You gotta get me.)
because I want to cry with you.
Love me deeper, hugging and starting over. (I wanna hurt ya.)
Hold me, pinch me, I want to push through it. (I gotta getcha!)
Deeper, Deeper, hurry up and wake up! (You gotta get me!)
Love only me that way.
Yeah! What's going to happen in the next episode of Kodocha?
Yuko-san left after that.
I guess to live her own life.
Naozumi-kun will probably never see her again.
The silly dad, Gary, who's so different from Yuko-san.
From a king producer he became a silly dad.
Next in Episode 79 of Child's Toy.
Approaching New York's final chapter.
The Father Who Can't Be a Father
What will the silly dad do with him?
It's time to decide, stupid dad.
