"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!?
I'm Kurata Sana, 1st year Junior high school student.
Manager and driver, Rei-kun
Aoki Award winning Mama and squirrel Maro-chan.
My best friend I met in the bathroom, Fuka.
The mysterious white commenting bat, Babbit.
Christmas presents are welcome!
Naozumi-kun who was having a delicious life in New York.
He's now my important partner.
Except...
Hayama Akito, my best friend.
Now he's going out with Fuka, I think...
I don't think that it's kindness to be nice to a person that you don't like.
Do you remember saying that before?
I like you because you're that kind of a person.
So, please don't be nice to me anymore.
Hayama-kun was called a devil.
That's why you couldn't say the line.
When I heard that I really understood your feelings.
That you still love Hayama-kun.
Naozumi-kun...
I think we should break up.
Episode 89: Hallelujah on Christmas Eve? My Heart...
I can't believe this.
Why... why did Naozumi-kun suddenly do that?
I don't get it!!
Um...
What are you doing here, Suzuki-sensei?
Why? Well I think it's because this is the classroom.
We're supposed to be taking a makeup test.
Sana-chan was involved in scandal.
Hayama was suspended.
Fuka-chan was in the hospital.
Everyone is taking the makeup test together.
Oh I see, I see, I wasn't paying attention!
Unbelievable.
Sana, take it seriously.
Please accept my apology.
It's OK, I understand.
Yes! I have to take this seriously.
This seems to be all gibberish to me.
This one is sweating. This one is having no problem.
If you don't do this well now, the future's gonna be hard for you.
I know.
What's up with Hayama?
Aren't you gonna walk home with him, Fuka?
We broke up.
Broke up...?
Fuka... that's...
...a joke [joudan] right?
It's not a joke [joudan] .
Haha then that was a "joke" right?
A "joudan" and a "joke" are the same thing.
If it's not a "joudan", and it's not a "joke" then...
So are you guys fighting right now?
I guess the more you fight, the more you guys get along.
Putting it that way will make someone angry.
NO! Why don't you get it!?
I can't believe you really don't get it!
It's over! We're not going out anymore.
You moron.
Damn! Whose fault does she think it is?
I'm so pissed off.
I don't get this at all.
Naozumi-kun suddenly dumped me.
Fuka's acting strange.
Sana-chan,
is this year's Christmas, Eve going to be the same?
What?
Come on now, middle birthday.
I'm not having it this year.
I see.
Is it because you're going with Naozumi-kun to the Kamura school?
Not exactly...
Something happened yesterday, didn't it?
Tell me what happened between you and Naozumi-kun.
No...thing.
Goes well with a few drinks... [A rather suspicious hypnosis kit]
Look here, you're gonna tell me everything, tell me everything.
Actually yesterday...
You're too simple, Sana!
Oh? So Naozumi-kun said that he'll love you forever,
but will never see you again.
I feel like a worm inside a mouse ear.
No, it's water in the ear.
I dunno why Naozumi-kun said that kind of thing so suddenly.
I've been fooled!
You dense daughter!
Naozumi-kun is a very good friend.
You don't deserve him. So much that my belly-button is falling.
Ouch...
She said, 'Why do you hit me so much? '
Be quiet! Your denseness deserves 100 whacks.
I'm sorry Naozumi-kun.
Because my daughter is so dense, she gave you a hard time.
When she grows up, I'm sure she'll understand your feelings.
And then she'll cry from the knowledge.
Enough already! No, 50 more!
So in conclusion, this year's Christmas Eve
will be a home party?
I think it's alright. This year, Asako has to work again.
Yeah, Mayumi, my girlfriend, has to too.
Oh really?
We're having such a painful time!!
What is this, adults crying just because it's Christmas?
Why, why?
What is this, what is this?
Is it my fault? I don't understand!
I know, in this case...
Put your troubles on paper!
Me and Naozumi-kun were a fresh couple.
But... he dumped me.
Hayama and Fuka were going out
but broke up...?
Hayama and I...???
Your feelings are that you still love Hayama-kun.
Could it possibly be...
...that I really still do love Hayama?
Maybe it's possible...
when I was in New York with Naozumi-kun, I thought...
I thought I had forgotten Hayama completely...
That I really still feel love for Hayama.
But, I suppose that my feelings for Naozumi-kun were love too.
When I was in New York, I had the feeling of wanting to protect him.
But then I was dumped!
So, the conclusion is...
I had a good relationship!
Or so I thought...
Alright! It's time to study!
If I get held back it'll be embarrassing.
I haven't used this desk for such a long time.
There should be a limit to how long you don't use something.
Umm... Textbook... Where is it?
Where? Where? Where is the textbook?
You have to look that hard to find a textbook?
Found it.
What's that?
That's...
It was one year ago. There were so many things that happened.
Only one year really went by?
It seems so long ago.
Good morning! Good morning!
Mom said that cake should be from the Africa Maemae Cafe in front of station.
I agree!
So we should go to mass at church. And afterwards, we'll go to your house.
OK.
You guys seem to be having a fun morning.
Sana-chan, you didn't do a lot of your homework.
Sana-chan! Hey do you wanna come with us for Christmas?
This year I'm having a party at my house with my family.
I guess she can't.
This year I'm eating cake with my family,
since it's my birthday that day.
I see.
Eve?
Yeah like last year.
Don't call me for such a thing like that when I'm training.
Then I guess that's a no.
I guess it can't be helped... it's just the two of us then.
But I don't mind if it's just you and me.
Oh no, Tsuyoshi-kun, you!
Sorry to interrupt you but...
You guys are having a party on Christmas Eve?
Can I join? Me too me too!
Gomi-kun too!
Yeah, on Christmas Eve I want to have a lot of fun!
I'm glad. I thought that it would be so sad to all be separated.
Yeah... last year was so much fun.
Really! It was fun!
Yeah.
In one year, we had so much stuff happen.
I wonder if a lot of things will happen again and if everyone will change.
I don't want that to happen! I don't want to change!
So you're free on Christmas Eve, Akito?
Yeah, I'm not really doing anything.
Really, well Dad wanted to do something with the Santa costume
I wanted to sing and dance with you guys. And presents too!
I'm so glad that I'm borrowing the costume.
Don't borrow it.
By the way, Akito,
what's up with Sana-chan's scandals?
Yes, yes, Dad wanted to ask about that too.
Dad!
I don't know anything about it.
I see.
But it's mean, this magazine is saying whatever they want.
Well this kind of trash could just...
What are you doing?!
Suddenly dropping out of the drama, that's so unlike her...
She's not the type of person who would be so spoiled.
That's what I think.
Well, she does do weird things for no apparent reason.
I don't get it!
Christmas Eve Day
Naozumi-kun, your role in this show is different than your past shows.
Yes, and I will try hard to do my best.
By the way, the last drama that I did will be premiering today.
It's called 'Little Love', please watch it too.
I heard that France's big director Richard Bentz for his movie...
wants you to play something, is that true?
A rumor's a rumor.
But if there is such a thing, then I definitely want to do it.
I want to reach my highest potential as an actor.
He has such good eyes... so straightforward.
I could bet you money on that. He will definitely be a good actor.
Who are you?
Naozumi's so cool!
I'm so happy for you! You looked so great! You looked so serious!
I'm serious about it.
Uh?
From now on I will really be getting into my work and honestly do my best.
I'm gonna do my best too! I'll bring out the best of your abilities.
Thanks for your support.
No! Don't be so formal with me! I mean it's between you and me.
Oh well!
Don't let go of the wheel!
Thanks for your support too, Naozumi.
Sana-chan I guess we're going our separate ways now.
But I still have something left to do.
Kamura!
Hayama-kun, do you know the real reason Sana-chan wasn't in the drama?
The real reason?
Please watch today's drama.
Ah? What's that supposed to mean?
If you watch, you'll understand.
You're such a good boy, Naozumi.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Birthday, Fuka!
Congratulations.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas!
So this is the singing and dancing reindeer set.
You're really strange, Hayama-daddy.
How romantic...
Alright, then, I hope you're all happy!
Merry Christmas!
Matches? Will anyone buy matches?
Everyone is having a merry Christmas
But me, I'm having a lonely Christmas.
Can you give me one box of matches?
A nice gentlemen!
Would you like to spend the night at my house, Miss?
Oh god! I'm so glad that I have lived my life seriously.
Now let's go, miss!
I have to go back to my house and watch the drama!
You know... 'Little Love',
the one Sana-chan was supposed to be in!
You don't know?
It's almost 9 o'clock.
Oh I'm so full!
That was really good!
What's wrong?
It's almost 9. What do you want to do?
Ah you mean that drama?
Oh yeah, it's today, isn't it?
What, what, what is it?
Santa-san...
Watch today's drama, and you'll understand.
Christ-san...
You don't want to hear Dad's song, do you Akito?
That's not it.
I think you should be more honest with your feelings.
Kamura Naozumi.
You don't get it do you, you...
Who is this girl? Sana-chan is so much better.
Shut up! You'll never understand my feelings!
You're a devil! You'll always be a devil!
Hey! That's...
Completely like the old Hayama-san, isn't it?
Sana-chan!
Eh?
She was dropped from the drama cause she asked for lines to be changed.
Oh yeah, those lines just now...
...would have completely hurt Hayama-kun.
Hmm? What, what is it, what?
Akito... that drama...
I'll run for a bit.
Go.
She did that for me. Because she didn't want to hurt my feelings.
So she was dropped from the drama.
Last Christmas she got me a dinosaur.
But I gave her nothing though.
I thought it's better than nothing, so I made her a snowman.
This year, so she won't hurt me, she gave up her precious work.
This year I didn't do anything for her.
Nothing... for her.
It keeps on falling. It's like last year.
Last year everyone was here.
Hayama was here.
Sometimes, it feels so nice being in cold weather.
Hayama?
Kurata.
I saw the drama.
I see.
I... I'm always saved by you.
That's not true. That's not true at all.
You have taken care of me too... many many times...
That's...
Ah?
a snowman isn't it?
Yeah.
You're...
Yeah.
You're gonna give it to me right?
Yeah, I am.
Thank you!
Kurata.
I love Hayama after all.
I'm not gonna regret it again. I have to tell her my feelings clearly.
I have to say it, I have to tell him my feelings. I can do it now.
I...I - lov... I...I lo...
Ah! Sana-chan and Akito-kun!
Why is everyone here?
We had a party at my house, and we're taking Aya and Hisae back to their homes.
Sana-chan, why are you guys here?
Ah? Could it be a date?
No!
It's a coincidence! We just met!
But weren't you guys gazing at each other?
Ummm... that was...
Her nose was dripping so I thought I'd wipe it.
Hey hey hey,
you're talking to a lady like that?
Your nose really is dripping.
If you talk like that...
This is what you get!
Don't you dare!
That looks like fun doesn't it.
We should join in too.
I agree!
It's your turn Mama.
Oh I almost forgot.
Huh?
A letter came for you.
Really?
Record mail from Takaishi-kun!
Merry Christmas to you, Fuka!
Merry Christmas to you, Takaishi-kun.
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.
