"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 am Kurata San, 1st year Jinbou Junior High School student.
My driver and manager, Rei-kun.
This is my true friend with big balls, Hayama-kun! Just kidding.
The amazing white bat, Babbit.
You have those? Yeah.
Aoki award winning writer Mama and squirrel Maro-chan.
Tears don't suit you,
You should be happy,
Say farewell to your pains and sorrows. Welcome your new life!
Who's the guy creating such a romantic atmosphere in the opening scene?
There is nothing you should worry about.
Leave everything to me.
But...
I have to go.
Who is this Bogart-like guy?
Can he be a new character?
Long time no see.
You are that...
Where have I seen you before?
Since I've been gone so long, naturally the audience has forgotten me.
Lend me some money?
Ah! You are...
The ex-husband of Sama-chan's mother, Misako-san!
You name is Ryousuke-san.
The guy who never works seriously, always borrowing money...
and still hasn't given up after getting kicked out several times.
Lend me some money?
Let's have a look at the following memorable scenes:
[At that time]
[Lend me some money?]
[Sana-chan, you have some savings! Why don't take some out and lend it to me?]
[I don't wanna!]
[I can't take it anymore!]
[lf money is a problem, you can give me items that can be pawned...]
[You're welcome to come back!! We'll just kick you out again!!]
Episode 97: The happy-lending-money scheme.
He's coming.
What's coming?
Coming closer and closer.
The milk has formed a bad omen.
Is that a Babbit?
The ominous shape is floating with the smoke...
And Maro-chan is acting strangely...
Like a punk.
I can't be wrong. He's definitely coming.
Don't scare us.
What is coming?
A Zombie like last time! Zombie?
Zombie, Zombie...
It might be an alien.
What about a king of all horrors? King of horrors?
Everything above is purely fictional. Fictional?
Misako, lend me some money?
You have to return the money you borrowed! [Lend me some money!]
It's mama's ex-husband.
It has been so long.
But the sad thing is he hasn't changed at all.
He's an example that will never improve.
Then I should go and prepare a little.
That's right.
To inform you a little...
This is the "Monster-Chasing Bazooka" used to keep determined pests away.
This is the "Thief Catcher", which can protect your family from thieves
It now comes with a lace cover.
What is the situation inside?
It is still very quiet.
Misako!
Mama, everything's ready!
Here's a 100,000 yen.
Thanks a lot, Misako!
I'm going now, thanks, I will return the money.
Hey, Sana-chan, how are you?
You are becoming prettier and prettier.
Manager-san too, hello, hello!
Shimura-san, no need to be formal.
See you!
Mamamamamamama... what happened??
100,000 yen! You'll never get it back again!
You lent him money? Yep.
Why? Why? It's always...
Why did you lend it to him today?
Because of this eyes. Eyes?
Usually, his eyes look like dead fish, or red beans that have gone bad.
Or else a fish that's starting to stink.
Gross...
But today his eyes were serous...
So I lent it to him.
Do you get it? Not at all.
Lend me some money, lend me some money...
That ex-husband showing signs of seriousness? There must be something fishy.
That's what my rowdy intuition tells me.
I don't really to care...
Nothing good comes out of helping that guy.
Are you saying that we should just watch him scam Mama out of 100,000?
Well, that would certainly be bad, too...
Then let's follow him for real...
Kurata, what are you doing?
Eh? Kurata?
Oh, I, must have heard wrong! Heard wrong...
We were almost caught.
Hurry!
The trailing continues.
Why would he come to such an isolated pace?
He's fishy to the max.
Why am I being dragged along?
It's me, Ryousuke.
Who're the guys with the rooster haircut?
He hangs around those people...?
Creepy old guy...
Huh? What is it?
Here's 100,000. I'll give you all of this if you stop hanging around Makoto-kun.
Makoto-kun? Who's that?
Eh? You're an idiot.
Why should they stop hanging around? I like it here.
Makoto-kun, your mother is worried about you...
Shut up! Get lost!
We'll take the money.
Goodbye.
Makoto-kun, wait!
Ahhh! My nose!!
What's going on?
Maybe you should go save him first.
So, what exactly is happening here?
Well. How should I put it...
I don't know what to say...
HURRY UP and SAY IT!!
I'm actually planning on marriage...
Ma... MARRIAGE??!
With Makoto-kun?
That's too far-fetched.
Her name is Miyoko-san. She's Makoto-kun's mother.
Oh, here...
She has been raising him all by herself.
She's really pretty.
Isn't she? Makoto-kun's hair is black.
He doesn't wear earrings either.
When I first met him, he was a really sweet and ordinary kid.
But... ever since we talked about marriage...
he started hanging out with bad people, and he wouldn't go home.
So he opposes your marriage?
Yeah, I've tried talking to him many times...
Mama?
I forgot I still had some work to do, excuse me.
Misako...
Mama...
Is she upset that her ex-husband is going to remarry?
It's kinda fun to watch this happening from an outsider's point of view.
Looks like we don't have to worry about her, Sana-chan.
I may not be a every trustworthy man...
but I'm going to be his father...
So I'm going to do all I can to help Makoto-kun stand up again.
But... there's nothing I can do.
So I thought I could solve it with money.
Very typical of me, huh?
But I couldn't think of any other way.
Mr. Ex-husband!
Can you call me Ryouske?
Ex-husband Ryousuke-san.
This time, this time, this time, are you really serious?
Yep, I'm very serious.
OK, then I'll help too!
Really?
We're on the pirate ship already anyway.
Is a pirate ship like this?
You should stop being a busybody.
It's not the first time I, Sana-chan, stuck my nose in other people's business.
Plus, I don't even need your help.
Oh, is that right?
That's right, that's right, that's right!!
Then you are willing to see Miyoko-san, Sana-chan?
Take a look...
there's only a one-letter difference between Misako-san's and Miyoko-san's names.
Even though this has nothing to do with anything.
I'm really sorry.
As a mother, it's all my fault that...
Sana-chan and her manager are so worried.
Oh, nothing like that, Madam...
What a babe... Eh?
Oh! Sorry, sorry I was just talking to myself.
Makoto is a really sweet child.
Maybe he's shocked because I'm suddenly going to marry.
But, I thought if we had 3 people living together, everything would be all right...
Oh wait, excuse me.
Why would such a babe be willing to marry someone like Ryousuke-san?
Are you preparing the dinner?
Will we have the Stewed Meat with Potato today?
It's probably Makoto-kun's favorite.
What a great mother.
But why would she and a guy like Ryousuke-san...
Don't worry, Madam.
We will bring Makoto-kun back.
Sana-chan, what are you going to do?
Hohoho... I have a great idea.
You'll return the 100,000 yen you borrowed? [A scolding Babbit]
[Babi-lele Group's Ukelele Life]
To become a great person...
School marks are important.
Even thought mothers and dads say it...
On the other hand I'd like to hear it from someone else.
Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it fine?
Isn't ukelele life fine?
We'll Solve Anyone's Problem, PON!
Today we're on the streets again, looking for people who need help.
Where are we? I forgot.
You're really following the script and acting stupid, aren't you?
Today we're seeking the person in need of help.
And here's a client! I'm the client.
You found him already?
This kid is very famous.
You look very familiar...
Didn't he tricked you into working at a wedding for free?
Really, where have I...
It's just your imagination...
Have you seen this face before?
Zenjirou-san hasn't noticed, so let's get on with the show. [Tempo is the most important thing in a variety show]
So in other words, the task this time is to bring Makoto-kun home.
Yep.
Sana-chan's plan is like this...
When those junior high kids see the cameras, they'll show the V-sign.
While this is going on, we'll take Makoto-kun out in a flash.
Will that really work, Sana-chan?
This is very worrisome.
Sorry to interrupt, hello!
I'm the host of the 'Champion Youths' interview show.
Come out, the youths inside!
A TV variety show interview?
Look! It's Zenjirou and Sana-chan!
Really! We're on TV!
Let's get their autographs! Kurata Sana...?
Sana-chan, please sign... sign here!
Attack while we have the chance!
Uh-oh, there's a banana peel on the floor.
Ahhh! Why would there be banana peels on the floor?
Oh, an abacus.
Hey!! Why would there be an abacus here?
Whoa!! Why would there be a skateboard here?
That's a very common thing.
Is today's show over? So soon?
Good work...
Hey, banana peels, abacuses and skateboards?!
Isn't that a bit too childish?!!
Aren't you the one setting childish traps?
I don' t know what you are talking about...
I hear from Uncle that Kurata Sana is like his daughter.
You'll do whatever he asks you to do.
WHAT DID YOU SAY???
Sana-chan! Makoto-kun!
Shut up and get lost. If you don't go, I'll hurt Kurata Sana
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Sana-chan...
Oww!! My nose!!
Makoto, you don't have to...
Shut up!!
The face is an actress's life... What would I do if you ruin it?
Right, there's your mother's words, would you like to hear?
Stop gossiping, stop gossiping...
Stop gossiping...
Isn't that a weird voice? That's my best friend's voice.
I think I brought the wrong tape...
But your mother is really worried about you.
She was making your favorite meat and potato dish yesterday.
Meat and potato?
Yeah, meat and potato.
I've always hated meat and potatoes.
Oh? Really? Do I look like Shinora?
What's that?
Misako? Sensei? When did you get here?
Who are you? Mama...
Mama? She's your mama?
I was going to speculate peacefully on the development of this matter...
Things changed to this because of you, right?
Get out...
if you don't, then Kurata Sana's face will...
Hohoho, her face will change shape?
Try if you dare!
Wait, Mamal!
The worst thing you've done is...
probably ring someone's doorbell and run away, right?
Of... of course not, I've stolen someone's bike before!
But then he gave it back...
You jerks!
What's going on?
I understand.
You are doing this because you oppose your mother's wedding.
Isn't that right, Makoto-kun?
Ah, no. I'm Kouichi.
Makoto-kun?
I'm Shingo.
Just in case, I'm Kurata Sana.
I'm Babbit.
You're right, Ma'am.
Ma'am?!
I thought that if I could make mother worried...
then she wouldn't marry that guy.
Then this is your own idea?
I think I understand Ryousuke very well.
He might look like a gigolo...
Misako...
Actually, he is a gigolo.
He's a nice person, has a good personality and isn't very sly.
No economic abilities. If you are with him, you're destined to work hard!
Mama, you aren't helping him at all.
I couldn't help telling the truth.
But, Ryousuke was being very serious today.
When Ryousuke becomes serious, there must be something big going on.
Like when a tidal wave floods Mount Fuji...
and the panda living in the mountain comes out!!
Ahhh!!! What a horrible thing!!
What did I come here for?
Sensei...
I'm going in.
This thing happened because of me...
and I thought I could just solve it with money.
I brought both Sana-chan and Misako trouble.
Ryousuke-san...
Anyway, the point is...
What are you thinking, Ma'am?
Ma'am?!
Do you know how much trouble Ryousuke went through because of you? Brat!
Wait a minute!
Uncle!
Makoto-kun, I understand that you oppose the marriage...
because I'm a very sloppy person.
But I won't be after my marriage with Miyoko-san...
I'm not so sloppy as to not...
be a good father to you.
You just have to pretend I'm an ordinary uncle.
That is, I hope that you will think of me as a great uncle.
So, will you stop doing such stupid things?
I hope that you won't worry Miyoko-san again.
I beg you.
Uncle...
Makoto-kun...
This has nothing to do with you...
What the HELL???
How can you say such things at a time like this?
If you don't want your mother to marry, then just say so!
That gigolo Ryousuke is this serious...
and you say this has nothing to do with him!
I wouldn't do this...
if Ryousuke-san was going to be my father
So you finally understand my situation?
But that guy is out of the question!
Really, really, that guy... that guy?
That guy? That guy?
That guy?
Hot.
She says he's something like a rich millionaire...
but he really isn't anything good.
He only thinks about himself and he's a cold, selfish person.
To make things clear, the guy you are talking about is your mother's...
A millionaire she's thinking about marrying.
What's this? You'd better tell us what's happening uncle.
Makoto-kun, I'll ask you again.
Your mother is thinking of marrying...
A rich guy.
But Miyaki-san said she'd rely on me...
Oh, mom said that Ryousuke-san is a rare, good person.
Good person?!!
A... Good... person??!!
I thought it was strange that any girl would marry Ryousuke.
Does that mean this has nothing to do with us?
And we made such a fuss about it...
Looks like it.
Once again, this isn't the first time.
That's a relief, Of course...
How could Ryousuke-san marry such a babe?
Why didn't you two say anything?
This is so embarrassing for us!!
That's why we kept saying it was none of your business...
Yeah.
Unusually, you had such serious eyes!
But once again you made a mistake.
Just use this as a chance to give up.
Anyhow, no matter who the opposition is...
isn't what you're doing useless?
I thought mom was useless...
to fall in love so easily and so often.
She wants them to like her, so does everything to complement their interests.
When she likes someone who likes sexy, she dresses like this.
When she likes someone who likes bears, she dresses like this.
This time, the guy actually likes the housewife type.
His favorite dish is meat and potatoes.
So that's why she was making meat and potatoes.
Mom is so stupid!
She always gets dumped in the end.
I really don't want to see mom's tears again...
That's why I asked them to help me and see if this would work...
But I guess it was useless.
In the end, only you people worried about me.
But you don't know if that's true, right?
You don't know.
Miyoko-san might be coming in just a second.
But I can't see why she would worry about me.
She is very worried!
That's why she asked me.
Ryousuke-san.
Why don't you believe in Miyoko-san a little longer, Makoto-kun?
Uncle...
Makoto!! Makoto...
Mom...
Makoto!!
Mom!
I've been dumped again!
I was worried about you, so I asked him if he could come with me and find you.
I never thought he'd say that my child is none of his business.
I didn't think he was such a cold person.
Really.
I thought that this time, I'd find you a good father.
It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you, Mom!
I'm sorry.
If you don't mind, I could...
No way, you have no financial assets.
Did you hear that?
She was using her own method of watching out for Makoto-kun...
There's a lot of different kinds of mothers and children.
This pair of mother and child isn't bad either.
But Ryousuke-san is still the same, always causing a big fuss.
But I think I understand a little.
Understand what?
Why Mama married a guy like Ryousuke-san.
What happened to the ex-husband after that?
Can you stop following me around all day?
I only let you stay because you had nowhere else to go.
Just because he was dumped, geez.
That's right. I'm heartbroken. Why don't you comfort me?
Ah, I'm not yours! Get off me!
Misako...
You're so annoying! Let go!!
What exactly are those two...
What an unbelievable relationship...
Maybe it is karma.
Misako...
Lend me some money?
"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.
