"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 Sana Kurata, a celebrity in 7th grade.
My manager and driver, Rei-kun.
My Aoki Award-winning Mama and the squirrel. Maro-chan.
My best friend that I met in the bathroom, Fuka.
The weird white bat, Babbit. I haven't decided yet.
And best friend, Hayama Akito.
Episode 99: Karate Clue is A Good Place-Come For A Bit!
Um... as you have seen just now,
Since there's a big difference in the boiling point of ethyl and water...
we will determine
the different boiling points of the substances.
Yeah! I laughed so hard at Sana-chan in yesterday's 'Kodocha'.
Who cares?
What? Akito-kun, you didn't watch Kodocha?
I don't watch it.
Humph! Oh so you just did your training and ran once around the neighborhood.
It was so funny! Wasn't it, Aya-chan?
Uh-huh, you would have thought yesterday's episode was funny, too.
it was the Experience the Sports! series. Challenging Chinese Martial Arts.
Sana-chan punched and kicked Zenjirou-san...
in armor!
Wow!!
Hayama-san, you don't mean you're teaching Kurata Karate?
You're more awkward than ever.
Why would I...
Over there, are you listening to the lesson, Hayama?
I'm sorry.
If you don't feel like listening to the lesson, then get out of here!
I do. LEAVE!
Akito-kun, sorry...
Now, I will give out the solution for the experiment...
Hayama left the classroom AGAIN...
Boring, I'm going home.
Come to the teacher's room at lunch!
At lunch time!
Don't play innocent!
Its not like I'm playing innocent.
We heard a rumor that a student named Hayama in Jinbou Middle School...
used violence towards a high school student.
You're the only Hayama in our school!
I didn't...
Ahh...
And "Ahh" means...?
It wasn't like that.
Hayama, you'd better stop underestimating your teacher.
Is that a fact, Hayama-kun?
I did not hit him.
You didn't?
Vice principal, Hayama is learning Karate now!
Is there a school rule against learning Karate?
It's a different story for a student who keeps on having problems.
"I didn't hit him"...
so you're confessing that you threatened him with force?
Anyway, why did you start Karate?
Is it to make weak people obey you?
Isn't that the kind of thing that you would think about, Hayama?
Good morning, everybody!
K... Kurata?
Vice principal! I'm in 7th grade Class 8, Kurata Sana!
What is it?
Kurata, are you going to defend Hayama with your flimsy lies?
Vice principal.
Well yeah, Hayama doesn't have a social life and can be naughty sometimes...
but whether it's a high-schooler or the president or a Bengali or an actor...
he'd admit if he did it!
So if Hayama says that he did not hit anyone then he didn't.
I can't trust that!
You say that, but Sensei...?
What?
This story is only a rumor, right?
A teacher accusing a student because of a rumor, what do you say about that?
I would like to believe Hayama's words.
The principal even says not to pre-judge the students.
Suzuki-sensei that sort of a naive...
All right. I will notify the principal about the rumor when he gets back.
And Hayama-kun, from now on, please think about your actions.
Hey! Alright, back to class!
Well then, we'll be going now!
Hayama...
Sengoku-sensei really wants to expel him.
Maybe that guy wants me to skip school?
He hates me.
Oh well, teachers are humans, too.
Hayama, you've changed...
In the past, you would have made a face like this...
Whether it was a teacher or not, you would've just attacked!
My face was like that?
And now, you can say things like that!
You grew up, you grew up, I'm impressed, I'm impressed.
Well everyone has their likes and dislikes!
I mean, there are people who like carrots and celery, ...
but get pissed off when they see Kurata Sana.
If you become a celebrity, in exchange for getting fans...
there are people who hate you even if you've never met them before.
I HATE KURATA SANA... Yeah, you get this kind of mail...
and get attacked suddenly...
and get a crack in your bone.
Really in a sense, I'm weak.
That kind of stuff happens?
It happens, young master.
But you know, if you get irritated and hurt every time it happens,
there no limit to it!
So if Sengoku-sensei pisses you off with his little remarks, come to me.
I'll show you how to relieve your troubles with the Komawari Step!
Well, I'll never convince him though.
Sengoku-sensei is focusing on your Karate.
Yeah, even if I trip and hit someone, he'll probably say that I abused Karate.
Is there any way to stop him from finding fault with your Karate?
Hey, Hayama, are you listening? Yeah.
Sana really knows how to handle Akito.
Akito's heart has never been open to others.
Sana can go in and out of Akito's tangled mind.
Akito must be happy to have a good partner.
Yeah, I know.
I've warned you not to call after the midnight.
What's up?
Whenever you're taking notes so enthusiastically, something's up.
Oh yeah! Sana, can you come to the Gymnatics District Competition?
The Gymnastics Team?
OK, you are actually on the Gymastics Team, right?
It's the last competition for the 7th grade.
I think you should at least go rather than sit around doing nothing.
That's it!
Fuka, thank you!
Looks like she came up with something...
A Karate Club?
Yeah, yeah, Let Jinbou Middle School know how cool and fun Karate is!
Add more friends and win the district competitions and the Olympics!
Then, Sengoku-sensei can't tell you something stupid like "Stop Karate".
You're the one who's saying the stupid stuff.
Hayama! Wait!
What the...?
How to start a club?
How could we start a Karate Club?
Well, first you have to gather members.
If you find 5 or more people who want to join in...
then I could bring it up at the next faculty meeting.
Thank you, Suzuki-sensei, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
But starting a new club means that you need a faculty advisor...
but my hands are full with the Swim Team and the Astronomy Club...
Other teachers who might advise the Karate Club...
Right now it's impossible...
Actually I haven't any idea at present.
So I have to gather 5 people?
Yes, you must do that first.
OK! We have to gather the members!
To capture a middle-school student who wants to do Karate alive nowadays....
is not an easy task.
That's why we're asking for Mama's help!
Well, I got an idea...
I guess we must do it in the orthodox way, to attack them with gifts!
Join the Karate Club, you'll win a luxury cruise to the Mediterranean!
Yes, I'll join.
I'll join too.
OK, 2 members arranged now!
Mama, Onda-san and Shimura-san aren't students from Jinbou Middle School, and...
we have no money, so NO.
Sensei, you know you can't solicit for a club that way,
So that's useless... then I guess we have to use the sex appeal strategy.
Where is the sex appeal for a Karate Team
Oh, isn't a man in a Karate uniform sexy?
That's it!
Use your stylish Karate stance to win girls' hearts!
The end of the century will be ruled by Karate! Let's go, Sana!
Sagami, paper! Yes, Sensei!
Onda, Ink! Yes, Sensei!
Now if she could only do that with her regular occupation...
I'll make tea.
The busier it is, the more I like to do other things!
Will you join the Karate Club?
Me, Karate?
That's impossible, Akito-kun.
You're obsessed with Karate.
No! If he gets hurt in Karate, it will be horrible!
It's not suited for Tsuyoshi-kun!
OK, then...
Sugita, you'll do...
Aya-chan? Save me!
Sorry, Akito-kun, if that's God's will, I'll certainly do Aya-chan's part.
He must be thinking. "It's not like I'll eat you."
It's okay.
Hayama!
Sana-chan!
Good morning, everybody! Hayama!
Yesterday night, Mama helped me make handouts.
Rei-kun, what a shame!
Hey, if you hand those out with that scary look, no one will take them.
Alright, there you go,
Well, that's right, ...
flashing a smile, really good.
Really?
Will you join the Karate Club...
Will you...
We're looking for Karate Club members...
Please!
Are you really starting a Karate Club?
Yeah.
Hey, you,
would you join the Karate Club?
The end of the century will be ruled by Karate!
Well?
I'll think about it.
[Babi-lele Group's Ukelele Life]
Kids today know all about fashion.
The girls are dressed to the nines.
They choose their skirts carefully,
But their underpants are inside out.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine isn't it?
Isn't Ukelele Life great?
Everyone is late!
I knew it was gonna be like this.
At least one person could have come...
Who was that person with the bushy eyebrows and bleeding nose?
Who are you?
My name's Ishida!
I haven't seen you for a while Ishida-kun!
We've been waiting for this right? [Right, he was rejected!]
Ishida-kun, you'll actually join the Karate Club for us?
Yeah, well...
Yay, thank you Ishida-kun!
The one thing we need is a person with a bloody nose!
I don't understand that.
Yeah... and...
You're stuttering, Bloody-Nose!
I'm not too good with barbaric stuff...
So I thought that I could be Sana-chan's manager assistant...
so that I don't have to learn Karate.
Manager assistant?
What kind of moron are you?
Well a member is a member.
OK, I'll... My notebook, where's my notebook...
So you're here for Kurata?
You like her, don't you?
OK, so please sign your name, grade and class here.
Ah, OK, here.
Hey, counting me there's only 3 people?
Yeah, one member and 2 managers.
We'll keep on asking people to join.
If 5 people can't be gathered then it's over.
So 2 more people.
Thanks... Ah, Ishida-kun?
Hey, join the Karate Club! Oh, no!
Wait... don't run away!
Excuse me, is the Karate Club here?
You mean the Karate Club?
Are you here to join?
Yeah because I got this.
Come in!
OK!
Ah, I don't know who you are but thanks!
Sana-chan is happy! Sana-chan's happiness is my happiness!
Oh I'm so happy! Come and sign here.
She seems happier than when I joined.
Here you are! Thanks!
I was so happy when Hayama-kun asked me to join.
Me?
Yeah, in the hallway in front of the bulletin board.
I see... Um... What class are you in?
Huh?
He's in the same class as you, Hayama.
Eh?
Isn't it bad that you don't know your own classmates, Hayama?
Nakao-kun, any experience with Karate?
None.
OK.
Only one person left...
OK, OK, pardon me...
So much time passed and you guys still didn't clean up so today's finished.
So we need a clubroom.
Well, we're still not a club yet.
Hey, you, won't you join the Karate Club? Hey, you don't have to run away!
I'll ask Suzuki-sensei if there are any rooms left.
Ah maybe that place is good!
Where? Where? [What's "That Place"?]
Oh, the North Building,
This is the first time I've ever been here.
Yeah. Me too!
It used to be the industrial tech room but now they're using the new building.
I come to get erasers and chalk from here so often...
...that I know this place well.
Wow he's such a dull child!
Hey everyone! I called Suzuki-sensei!
I got permission from the Vice Principal, for one week only.
Yay!
Isn't that great, Hayama?
Yah. Let's go, Nakao-kun!
Yeah!
Here?
Ohh, how nostalgic.
Narrow, smelly, dirty.
Nobody uses it so I thought this would be good.
Isn't there any place bigger than this?
It's not a 100 feet wide classroom with a chandelier but it's enough.
Well, this building will be demolished soon so...
just bear with it until we have a proper classroom.
Well they say that if you live in Lake Biwa...
It's can't be helped, it'll do.
Located in the center of Shiga Prefecture,
Lake Biwa is made of many cave-ins.
Length 68 KM and at the widest...
it's Japan's biggest... Wait Lake Biwa has nothing to do with anything!
But there are some teachers who are against the Karate Club.
The teacher against, is it Sengoku-sensei?
Ah, anyway until it is formally approved,
refrain from big actions.
Sensei! I'm alright!
Be careful not to get hurt.
I know you guys won't stand still.
Kurata, I'll leave you with the door key.
Yes, Sensei!
Bye. Thank you very much!
If everyone says thanks, you should say "As welcome as 3 sons!"
Are you making up a phrase? Then I'll say "As welcome as octopus puffs"!
That's corny.
If you're in it, it could be the Imperal Palace! Let's work together as managers!
Hey, you didn't you give up on Sana-chan?
In order to work hard we need one more person.
Excuse me...
Sengoku-sensei is against Karate?
Look like it.
Why?
I don't know,
But we can't stay here all the time and do nothing, ...
so let's get to work and do some stretching.
You're right!
Since I'm the manager, the two of you work hard.
Stretching.
Hmm... one more person...
Um... Sana-chan
The rumor that you broke up with Naozumi-kun, is it true?
So you're single now?
Yuh.
Great!
OK! Standing still won't do anything!
Can you go out with me for a moment Ishida-kun?
What! Going out with Sana-chan!
Now I'll do the training that I usually do, so keep up with me.
This is kind of like your physical test.
Physical test...
First we'll do an easy 30 laps.
That's not easy.
Going out... is this?
Those of you who don't have any after school activities...
Why don't you join the Karate Club?!
Karate Club Karate Club Karate...
If it's hard for you then take a break.
I'm fine.
OK then.
Hey, Sana-chan!
Fuka that was great!
What happened... Oh... bushy eyebrows, long eyelashes...
I'm Ishida! You have a hard time.
Yeah, that's a weird combination, Sana.
Are you interested in going to the district competition?
This is my life's wish, please join the Karate Club, Fuka.
Hahahaha... moron! What, are you kidding? NO!
The Karate Club doesn't have enough people in it?
Yeah. If it's like this it won't be approved as an after school activity
Sana, you really have no common sense when it comes to Akito.
Well... excuse us a minute.
What's is it, Fuka?
Sana, a while ago I hear Sengoku-sensei and Suzuki-sensei talking to each other.
Suzuki-sensei if you're so naive you'll regret it later!
Because in the end, we're the ones who will be held responsible!
I can't think of it that way.
Starting a Karate Club, that's not a joke!
If we keep on indulging Hayama's selfishness...
We can't have him victimizing more people!
Sengoku-sensei.
Those people, if we give them an inch they will run wild.
What we need is the power to control them!
Seems Sengoku-sensei won't approve of Karate.
If you aren't careful and mess up now,
Akito will really get it.
I know.
You understand?
That's why I wanted to start the Karate Club.
Not just for Hayama, but for myself too.
I'm not used to such a serious scene.
Really the first 3 months is just wiping the floors and sitting on your legs.
It's really boring. And it almost killed me.
Oh really.
OK try that.
Alright, enough for today. You did well.
Thank you very much.
This guy, he's not a girl, right?
Finished!
Hey wait, can we have a toast to raise the mood?
Yeah sounds good!
Um... I... I'm afraid...
You can't?
Sorry, next time...
Well, see you.
Bye, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, Nakao-kun
Tighten your arms, grip your fist and as if you're drilling it in...
Don't get hurt!
This anime really has a lot of eating and going out.
Thamks for taking time today to be here for me, Kurata Sana!
Why is it for you?
Actually thank you very much for coming to my, Kurata Sana's 13th birthday!
Oh congratulations!
[Sana-chan's song]
March 7th is Sana-chan's birthday.
The day when Mama found me.
March 7, March 7.
Somebody said that...
there's a new-born baby over there.
A lovely baby!
So Mama named me for that!
March 7th., Sana Sana Sana...
Sana Sana Sana Sana Sana... Kurata Sana,
March 7th., Kurata Sana...
But this has nothing to do with the story.
Wow wow Sana-chan! Congratulations, congratulations!!!
I'm home.
Nii-chan, let me borrow it too!
Let me borrow it! Let me borrow it!
Dinner is ready.
What? Curry again? I wanna eat ramen.
Well then tomorrow.
Ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen!
For the bright future of Jinbou Junior High School's Karate Club!
The first and last Karate Club.
Anyway... for the bright future!
Cheers!
"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.
