"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, first, year middle school student!
I've been waiting for this forever!
Hope there's good news.
Empty!
No... Not again!
What is it?
It's been while, why no response?!
So what is it?
I probably didn't get selected.
I asked you what happened? [What do you mean, 'Selected'?]
And over here at Fuka-chan's...
My feelings should be right, the two of them...
Last year, between them...
In spite of what happened...
I think they're fine now. There should be no problem.
Takaishi-kun... should I... Give him a call?
The friend whom I met in the bathroom, Fuke.
This week's subject is the neglected problem
Episode 95: Back to Normal.
I've talked to him about Sengoku-sensei and Hayama...
Yes! I'll use that as an excuse to call him!
I'm so nervous!
Yes, this is the Takaishi's.
Um. This is Ma... Matsui Fuka.
Oh, Fuka-chan! It's been a long time! How are you?
Yes, it's been a long time, um...
Yuuta is out with his friends.
I'll have him call you back when he gets home.
It's really nothing important. I'll call again, sorry to bother you.
Yuuta is out with his friends.
That's right, Takaishi-kun already has Shizu-chan.
Yes! I finally had the courage to call him!
As I was saying,
Luckily, it's on a school holiday see...
Look...
So he's not with Shizu-chan, but with these guys.
Hmm? What are ya looking at?
Hey, Takaishi!
What's up?
No. Nothing?
Yeah right.
Ah, are you looking at that girl who's sitting by the window?
I see. I see.
What the heck, he was spacing out just looking at her.
No, I didn't!
Don't deny it.
You broke up with Shizu-chan because you just can't forget Matsui, didn't you?
What? You broke up?!
Hey, give up on Matsui!
Doesn't she already have a boyfriend in Tokyo?
Hayama.
If you stay hung up on her, you won't get a new girlfriend!
Yep, yep, Check this out.
Teen Net's Valentine Event.
There will be a lot of cute girls!
I'll get something out of this year's event!
Gotta get a girlfriend!
Valentine, Go for it!
OK! That sums it up!
Do you all remember Teen Net?
Look here. It's a magazine targeted at teenagers.
It's the same magazine that featured Hayama and Fuka-chan's photo as best couple!
I'm a useless man...
how can I tell Aya-chan...?
Good morning, Tsuyoshi-kun!
Aya-chan, good morning...
What's wrong? Why in such a bad mood so early in the morning?
To tell the truth, I don't think I was chosen...
That... Teen Net Valentine Event that you always wanted go to...
Oh that? Don't worry.
Look, here's an invitation, free admission!
Aya-chan, you're amazing! You got it!
Great! How many postcards did you sent in?
Just one.
Good morning, Aya-chan.
Yo! Tsuyoshi, something got you down this morning?
It's nothing.
Aya-chan, are you going too? To the Teen Net Event?
You guys too?
Yeah, just in case, I sent in two postcards.
And both of them were drawn!
Almost everyone got selected.
The winner!
I mailed 117... and none of them were...
Be strong, Tsuyoshi!
What you represent in life cannot be decided by a raffle drawing.
That's alright! I can just go with Aya-chan!
Aya-chan! I'll stick with you forever!
Tsuyoshi...
Chomp, chomp! Yummy!
Are you going to the Valentine Event?
Of course! I heard there's a game called 'Love at First Sight. '
Sounds fun!
Everyone's talking about it...
The Valentine Event would be an excellent chance for single people.
Can I sit here?
Sure!
Oh. Fuka-chan, you'll come, right? To the Teen Net Event.
Teen Net...?
Speaking of Teen Net... it reminds me of that photo...
That one? It's this photo.
Fuka-chan and Hayama, just broke up...
I shouldn't have brought it up...
Let's go together, Fuka-chan!
What's wrong with you, Aya-chan?
What are you doing, Aya-chan?
You think this will hurt my feelings.
Don't worry about me, I'm not that hung up on the past.
To wipe away the past, I'm happy to go!
And find a new boyfriend!
Alright!
I guess so.
Hey, Fuka! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Excuse me.
Sana-chan, you going? To the Valentine Event?
Valentine? Is it on February 14th?
That's right.
It's too bad, I have to work that day.
Used to be Kodomo no Omocha, now simplified as Kodocha!
Still partnered with Zenjirou-san?
Similar to the one before?
Pretty much, but with a new section.
We were so bored since Kodocha ended.
Huh? Akito-kun!
You going? To the Valentine Event?
Valentine Event, is it?
Eek!
What's the point of that, Hayama?
So I see.
You think I like going to those meat market events?
Th... that's right, your advancement test is coming up.
Eh? You're taking the advancement test?
Yeah, I'm giving it a shot.
Well, try to work hard.
Sure, you too, study hard.
Okay!
Are you alright, Tsuyoshi-kun?
The two seem to have a fairly superficial relationship.
But I think it's natural.
Tsuyoshi-kun, I already prepared Valentine's chocolate.
Aya-chan...
Tsuyoshi-kun...
A big contrast to that other couple...
Hmmm? Chocolate...
I couldn't help but buy this...
Since it's chocolate for a friend, I'll mail it with a voice message.
All right!
This is a friendship chocolate.
Takaishi-kun... Takaishi-kun...
Don't take him away...
I still... can't.
I knew I wasn't supposed to, what was I thinking?
That means... I shouldn't call him either.
Te... telephone.
Yes.
Fuka.
Taka... ishi-kun?
Yeah... My mom said you called yesterday.
Yeah, last time, about Hayama's troubles...
It's alright now... so I wanted to tell you.
That's good. That guy always sits idle and enjoys the results of others' work.
Eh? I...
Oh yeah, I'm going to Tokyo with my friends next Saturday.
Eh? For that Teen Net Valentine Event.
I... I'm going too!
Really?
Really, really?
Then I'll be able to see you at the event.
Ah... that's right, Takaishi-kun and Shizu-chan...
Fuka and... Hayama...
Hello? Takaishi-kun?
A...Actually...
Yeah, what?
Actually, Shizu and I...
Ah, another phone call.
Sorry, I'll hang up and call you later.
Broke up...
What was I going to say?
It's too late now...
She already has Hayama...
Hello.
Yes. Sorry for hanging up in the middle.
What did you want to tell me?
Nothing. That's about it.
Okay... bye...
Aloha Hawaii, fu fu fu! [Babi-lele Group's Ukelele Life]
I want to write a love letter to my boyfriend.
But I don't know what to write.
He doesn't know that another boy suddenly revealed his love to me.
Even if it isn't him, it's alright isn't it?
Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it alright?
Isn't Ukelele Life great?
The long awaited new feature in Kodocha...
...is named "We'll Solve Anyone's Problem. PON!"
Huh? Anyone's Problem?
PON!? What kind of name is that?
It's basically about
Zenjirou-san and Sana-chan accepting requests of people in trouble...
and helping them work out their troubles.
I think I've seen a similar feature before!
Yeah, yeah.
No, what we have in mind is sending Sana-chan and Zenjirou-san to the street
...carrying a sign that says. "We'll Solve Anyone's Problem"
so it should be a fresh idea...
The first filming is February 14'th, Valentine Day.
We wish to have romantic and dramatic content as the main focus.
We even prepared your costumes!
Costumes? Leave it to me!
It will be the first time I've ever portrayed a heroic figure, I'll be famous!
Alright! We have to work hard, Sana-chan!
Y... yes, I'll give it my best!
"Valentine Day" is English so...
you should pronouce it "Saint Valentine's Day"!
Wh... what kind of costume is this?!
The producer lied!
Mine's cuter.
Well, we need to use brilliant colors. They suit you very well.
My dream of becoming a hero...
There, there.
If we help people from the bottom of our hearts...
...then we're the true heroes, right?
That's right, just like you said. I'll play my part and work hard!
OK! Turn the camera here!
Welcome, everyone!
This our first visit here.
This is "We'll Solve Anyone's Problem, PON!"
If you have any troubles or concerns, please tell us!
No way, they're ignoring us.
Meanwhile at today's Valentine Event.
Hey! Is everyone having fun?
Lovers enjoy yourselves! Single people do your best!
Wow, there's a lot of people!
Yeah, just as I thought, there's a lot of girls, and guys!
Takaishi-kun and Shizu-chan are probably here, too
There are a lot of cute girls!
Yeah I know, we need to use this chance wisely!
Fuka and Hayama are probably here, too.
They're on each other's minds.
Hey, let's get something to eat.
Good idea.
I think... I should leave.
Go home? Why all of a sudden?
Gymnastics...
I suddenly remembered that I had gymnastics practice today.
Takashi, what's wrong?
I... I want to leave.
Same thing over there.
My club has very strict rules, so, I'm sorry about today.
Wait, Fuka-chan!
Wait a minute Takaishi!
But I...
What are you doing?
We had to take the bullet train to get here!
Don't be a bad sport, come with us!
Fuka-chan!
This isn't going well. [Two ships that pass in the night.]
I've had it.
We waited two hours to get a customer.
And it's...
Excuse me, my back itches, will you scratch it for me?
This can't go on TV...!
The first episode of Kodocha is a failure!
Isn't there anything that's worth our time around here?
There that Teen Net event near here.
Hm? Event... Alright! Let's go!
Event? Could it be...
You got it!
What happened to Fuka-chan?
She left all of a sudden.
She couldn't help it if there was gymnastics practice.
That's true.
Would you like you to go to the 'Love Love Fight' game with us?
I'm sorry, we already have other plans.
Would you like to go to the 'Love Love Fight' game with us?
We already have boyfriends.
He looks sad.
Over here too.
There's too many girls...
Can you find some boys to come here?
Okay, you can count on me!
Found one!
This... this woman.
It'd be troublesome if she caught me.
Wait!
Would you like to go to the Valentine event?
We're a little short on guys.
This is for you. There are a lot of fun games,
free food and drinks, and lots of yummy stuff!
For example pizza, sushi, and etc...
Sushi!
Hayama, you are always defeated when there's sushi.
Yeah! Come over here and see!
Wow, Hayama-san. Tons and tons of girls.
Akito-kun, didn't you say that you don't like these meat market events?
Really, really!
Are you hungry, Hayama-kun?
Here's more sushi!
Wow! He's cool! Aya-chan!
Eh? Isn't that Fuka's boyfriend?
Eh? Ha... Hayama.
In Takaish's eyes it becomes this. [A harem]
What's this guy doing!?
Hey, Hayama! What are you doing? Where's Fuka?
You're... Takaishi.
Aya-chan!
What are you doing with this kind of girl when Fuka's not around!?
This kind of girl?!
Aya-chan is MY girlfriend!
Then where's you girlfriend?
That's... none of your business!
Then it's none of your business either.
What'd you say?
Hey, everyone!
Welcome!
This is "We'll Solve Anyone's Problem, PON!"
It's Sana-chan...!
Sana-chan! Here, here!
Aya-chan and Hisae-chan!
Long time no see.
You got here just in time. Look over there.
Hayama?
Oh! It's Kurata Sana!
What's going on? That guy.
Fuka-chan's ex-boyfriend is having some misunderstanding with Hayama.
That guy said Aya-chan was "that kind of girl"!
How did I get in here?
Aya-chan is MY girlfriend!
What a mess!
If you're not involved, please stand back. [Please wait a second]
So, in other words, you thought Hayama-kun was cheating on his girlfriend.
He probably didn't know that Hayama-san/kun and Matsui already broke up.
Eh? Broke up?
Is that true, what they said?
Well, guess you still have a chance!
Hold on a sec!
What chance! You have a girlfriend, don't you!? Fuka said...
Eh? Where's Fuka?
You're too slow on the uptake.
I... broke up with my ex-girlfriend.
What did you say...?
We broke up.
If you...
Is it because that you couldn't forget the girl Hayama-kun broke up with?
In that case...
since you're both single...
...then you may tell her you love her.
Love is a battlefield!
When you fall, you get up, and get stronger by learning from your mistakes!
I'm not bragging,
but take a look at my injured heart!
This isn't something he should brag about.
Alright! Let's go find her!
Where's the girl right now?
At school.
Alright! Head to the school!
This is a great theme for our program!
Ah! You guys stop right here, so things won't get even messier.
Actually, I lied when I said I had gymnastics practice.
It wasn't really necessary to come here.
I'm an idiot, I should just go home.
"We'll Solve Anyone's Problem, PON!" is here!
Sana, you look like you're going to a costume party.
Come with us! Wait, what do you want?
Let me down! Hey!
Fight!
Takaishi-kun...
Fuka.
Takaishi-kun, why are you here?
Fuka, I...
That's great, get it at a good angle!
Eh? Camera? It's going to be broadcast on TV?
That'll be terrible!
Sana-chan! Hurry and stop them!
If Sengoku-sensei knows about this, Fuka'll die for sure!
Eh? That'll be horrible!
Stop! Stop! Don't record this! You can't! You can't!
Stop, Sana-chan! Don't screw this up! No!
What is she doing?
The sound of Taiko drums...
My memories of that terrifying drumming sound...
Can't be... no way...
Yikes! It really is Sumira-chan!
Hi! Zen-sama...
I wish to dance Valentine Limbo with Zen-sama.
Please help grant Sumira this w-i-s-h!
This might be good chance!
Hey! Here's an excellent wish to grant!
That's right, Valentine Limbo, that's awesome!
It's never wrong to grant the audience's request.
On Valentine's Day, the separated lovers
were dramatically reunited by their fateful love.
Wishing them a happy future, Limbo of Love!
Zen-sama... come on!
Even I started dancing! It is pretty gorgeous!
Zen-sama, let's limbo!
Someone help me!
Fuka...
Yeah?
I... broke up with Shizu.
It might be useless to say this now,
but now I know that...
In my heart... only you exist.
Fuka?
I'm so happy... so very happy...
Fuka.
Zen-sama, Limbo! Limbo!
Fuka.
"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.
