Unlike boys, girls have
Feelings that can be very complex.
But if they fall in love,
They can make some real magic.
That's right, the heart of a girl
Floats, rocking on the crescent moon
While she tries to find her dreams.
And when she falls in love,
She does so delicately.
Falls in love. Falls in love.
Falls in love.
Mami Disappears ...
Okay! Good job, Mami-chan.
You, too!
Good work, everyone.
It feels like she's become a real star.
It'll be fun to see how far she'll go.
I bet you're proud of her, aren't you, Kidokoro?
Actually, it's been more of a worry than anything.
Kidokoro! Where's Mami?
Is she here?
You know this room doesn't lock!
You must have done it on purpose! I won't forgive you!
Y-You've got it wrong, Mami-chan.
I promise, it wasn't on purpose!
Plus, I have good news for you! I wanted to tell you ...
Good news?
Mami-chan's one-year anniversary concert?
Yeah. We've just managed to get the permits for the venue.
Where is it?
The Pearl of the Orient with the million-dollar night vistas ...
Hong Kong!
Hong Kong?
Does that mean that it'll be at Queen Elizabeth Stadium?
Right!
Creamy Mami is spreading her wings to cover the whole world,
and as her first step, isn't this the best venue you could think of?
But in a foreign country?
You act like it'll take a thousand hours by plane. It's close!
Look, we don't have much time for this.
Kidokoro, I'll need you running around to get everything done.
No way ... Don't surprise me like this!
When is it?
July 1st.
Huh? That's only a month away!
Not even that.
Boss!
Mami-chan, do you have a passport?
If not, you'll need to get on that right away.
And you'll need your citizenship papers and your family record book and ...
There's no way Mami's going to be able to get a passport ...
How are things going?
Just a little longer.
Let's see ...
Got it!
Ahh, I knew it.
Knew what?
Just listen here ...
Your contract with Pinopino ends after one year,
and our calculations say that it'll end on June 31st, at 5:45 am.
So on July 1st, you won't be able to use your magic any more.
You won't make it in time for your concert.
You need to have them cancel it!
Yeah. It's too bad, but there's no other option ...
I'm gonna do it!
What did you say?!
Since it's the end, I don't want to flake out. I want to do it right!
I get what you're saying, but without your magic ...
Maybe I can get them to move it to June.
And it'd be fine to do it in Japan, wouldn't it?
Do you really think Tachibana will understand?
I don't think so.
Well ... This puts Creamy Mami in quite a pinch.
Yuu, it's dinner time!
Okay!
W-What? Do you understand what we're saying?
Posi, Nega, you too!
Okay!
But, Yuu, even for you, I think this time ...
I can't! No matter how much you beg, it's impossible!
But, Tachibana-san, most of my fans are students and children.
So if we have the concert in Hong Kong ...
That's why we're planning a satellite feed for those people.
But I don't think we have to go through all that trouble,
when I can have a concert here and they can see it live!
Isn't that better for fans?
You're being stubborn.
Look, the concert at Queen Elizabeth Stadium is set, and I won't change it.
Can we at least have something in June?
I don't know ...
Why are you pushing so hard for it?
I'd like to be able to do what you want, if we can ...
But all of the Japanese concert halls are already booked up.
So I'm not sure we'd be able to find a space at this point.
But ...
July 1st is ...
Mami-chan!
It's time for your rehearsal!
Okay!
Tachibana-san, you shouldn't make Mami-chan cry!
What?! She's the one making me cry!
I'm ready.
Oh, Kidokoro-san!
You're even gloomier than normal today, aren't you?
No ... well, maybe.
Is something wrong, Megumi-chan?
I was passing below and saw the lights on, so I decided to drop in.
I never thought you'd be the one still here, Kidokoro-san!
What do you mean by that?
Well ...
Since I'm here, could you get me some coffee?
I guess I could ...
Hmm. Mami's schedule ...
Kidokoro-san ...
ls this her real schedule?
It's completely blank from here out!
And that's why I have such a headache.
Mami-chan's been turning down every job lately.
But even so ... it seems like ...
Seems like ... what?
Does Shingo know about this?
No! And I can't tell him! It's too scary ...
Your coffee's ready.
It's hard to believe, but ...
I'm off!
Yuu! Your bag!
Oh, shoot!
What are you thinking, heading to school without your bag?
Don't yell at me!
I'm off!
Later!
Did something happen?
That girl ...
She hasn't relaxed at all in the past two or three days.
I feel like she's worrying about something ...
Worrying?
What?
Oh, it's nothing, but ...
I was just thinking that Yuu always puts her all into everything she does.
I really love that about her.
That's just like you, Tetsu. But do you think we should leave her be?
Yuu will be fine.
If it's something she can't handle on her own,
she'll talk to us about it.
She knows she can talk to us about almost anything.
It's that "almost" I'm worried about.
I guess the only thing to do is to tell Tachibana-san the truth.
That Mami-chan is really Yuu?
Not that!
That Mami will be gone by July 1st.
He won't just accept that.
But I have to tell him.
If I keep quiet about this now, it'll become an even bigger mess!
It's already too late for that.
Hey!
You'll never make it to school on time, plodding along like that.
Can I get a ride?
The teachers will yell if they see us ...
So halfway?
Okay!
Woohoo!
Let's go!
I've decided ...
I'm going to talk to Tachibana-san today.
Toshio will be really sad if Mami disappears.
Sorry, Toshio ... But I'll still be around.
What's going on?
You're extra clingy today.
L-Idiot!
Stupid Toshio!
Ouch! Stop that!
Mami's retiring?
There's no hard proof.
To be honest, it's just a woman's instinct.
But going by her schedule, somethings happening.
I won't say it to his face, but ...
Couldn't this just be because Kidokoro's a bad manager?
But he told me that Mami was the one turning down the work.
Well, she's been like that before.
Besides, it's Kidokoro's job to convince her to do the work.
Whatever. I'll have a chat with Mami today.
There's no way she could retire.
As a singer, or an actress ... there's so much more out there for her!
I guess so.
It'll be good if I'm just imagining things.
Wouldn't it be good for you if Mami retired?
For Ayase Megumi personally, yes ...
But as a member of Parthenon Productions, no.
It's a hard thing ...
1 see.
Shingo!
What?!
What is this?!
That hurts!
Creamy Mami, retiring in July!
Creamy Mami's retiring in July?
Creamy Mami, retiring in July!
Tachibana-san, about the article in question ...
Why have you hidden this news until now?
We told you, they've got it wrong!
What are you saying? I don't understand why you would think that!
What do you say to the news that Creamy Mami might be getting married?
We are currently investigating the source of this article.
We'll be taking another look at things here internally.
So please hold your questions for today!
What do you mean, "investigating"?
Explain yourself!
Where is Mami?
Hey! I told you, that's wrong!
Kidokoro!
Yes, sir?
I didn't know anything about this!
That article was just there when I woke up this morning, and ...
What is Mami's schedule for today?
She's arriving at four, and holding a mini concert at the DJ Booth.
Until then, I can't say where she is or what she's doing ...
I'm going out for a bit.
If you think about it now,
maybe this is why she was so against the July concert ...
Don't be ridiculous!
Just make sure you deny all allegations of her quitting!
It's just nonsense, with no basis in truth!
Okonomiyaki Fire Car
Welcome!
Okonomiyaki Fire Car
Hey!
I've been looking for you.
What you?
I heard Mami's retiring?
This is your doing, isn't it?
Not a chance.
What are you doing, coming after an old guy who makes okonomiyaki for a living?
It's not even funny.
Don't act stupid!
There's nobody else who would write an article like this!
H-Hey!
Well, it certainly is an interesting piece.
I knew it!
Hey, wait!
You know, I'm going to be a father next year.
What?!
There's a kid in her belly right now.
So, I've stopped doing all that bad stuff.
I'm an honest-to-goodness okonomiyaki maker now.
It's a man's dream to have a woman like that.
I didn't know ...
Well, I guess I should be congratulating you.
Exactly! And as an apology for causing you so much trouble before,
I'll try to figure out who did write that article.
You know who?
I have an idea ...
I'll contact you later.
Oh, right!
If you have time, do you want something to eat?
It's on the house.
Thanks for asking, but maybe next time.
All right. That's too bad.
What did you say just now?
Toshio-chan! You're gonna kill me!
Stop it!
I heard the ladies talking at the bread shop.
I thought you knew, Toshio-chan.
I ... I'm going to find Tachibana-san and ask him!
Toshio!
What about your bicycle?
Just take it to my place.
But I hadn't even told anyone yet ...
Huh?
I'm going, too!
Hey, wait! Wait!
I can't ride a bike ...
It looks like Toshio-kun couldn't make it into the office.
Just look at the mess there right now! I don't like it!
Kanon!
Panpuru pinpuru pamupoppun!
Hey! There she is!
Parthenon Productions
Mami-chan, please tell us!
Tell us why you're retiring!
Umm, I have an announcement.
I'm very sorry to say that today's concert is canceled due to the circumstances.
However, the rumors that Creamy Mami will be retiring are completely false.
We're currently making plans for a big event,
so we would like to ask for your continued support.
Kidokoro-san, where's Mami-chan?
She's been talking to the boss this whole time, but ...
But ... what?
It sounds like she might really be retiring at the end of this month.
I see. If you really feel this strongly about it, then there's nothing I can do.
But there's no way that Creamy Mami can retire.
But you said you understood ...
You're just tired.
So take a break for half a year.
We'll put on the July 1st Creamy Mami First Anniversary Concert
in Hong Kong as planned.
And then you can take a break. Okay?
But ...
And I won't budge another inch.
The Hong Kong concert is happening, and there's no way to stop it now.
I have one thing to ask you, though ...
ls it really true that you knew nothing about the news article this morning?
Yes.
I wish you had come to talk with me about this earlier.
I'm sorry.
Well, it's fine. just go home and rest.
Kidokoro!
Accompany Mami-chan downstairs.
The news crews are still out there, so take her out the back.
Yes, sir!
Yes? This is Parthenon Productions.
Please wait a moment.
Boss? Do you know someone from Okonomiyaki Fire Car?
Oh, hello?
It's me.
I figured out who wrote the article right away,
but I can't get him to spill where he got the scoop.
It is one of the duties of a reporter to keep his sources confidential, after all.
But I think I have the general idea ...
Really? Thanks for that.
What?
Huh?
It just sounded strange ...
He says that he heard the news on the way back from a trip abroad,
and I'm pretty sure the guy's part of some high society club.
High society club?
Here should be fine.
Really? This is okay?
Yeah.
Be well.
You too, Kidokoro-san.
Later!
What? Mami's been kidnapped?
Why, you ...
How could you let this happen?!
Huh? Why don't you just go and die?!
Today is an unlucky day ...
Moron!
Shouldn't you inform the police?
No! We can't do that!
There's enough of a mess with just the rumors about her retiring.
If people knew she was kidnapped, there'd be a panic!
We'll wait for them to contact us, and go from there.
Kidokoro!
Yes, sir!
Stomach medicine.
Yes, sir ...
Mami-chan ...
It's started to rain ...
That's a bad sign.
Toshio-kun, won't your parents be worried about you?
But ... it's too cruel!
Mami-chan was there, right in front of me ...
...and I couldn't do anything to save her.
You say that, Toshio-kun, but wasn't that my job?
Hello?
Mami-chan? Is it really you?
Right. Right.
I've got it. I'll be there right away.
What are your kidnapper's demands?
But ... the man who took you ... the kidnapper ...
Hmm?
Kidokoro!
It wasn't a kidnapping!
Really?
She says she wants to see us right away,
and says to come to the Princess Hotel, Kidokoro.
I'm so glad ... Thank goodness ...
How did things end up like this?!
Mami-san, what on Earth ...
Come in ...
Ah! It's you ...
The old woman of the shadows has been revived as the white soothsayer!
And now I'm cooperating on the side of the good king.
I apologize for taking Mami-chan in such a rough manner, but it was the only way.
Please forgive me.
The reporters are just too nosy.
It was the best method available.
But why did you not inform me?
The prince pestered me to tell Mami-san's future,
and things have begun to come to pass ...
Mami-chan's future?
Exactly. That girl is in possession of a truly mysterious star.
I was unable to see anything in her future past that point.
And so, I wondered if that meant she would be quitting singing.
Well, we did speak about that.
And the one who leaked the story to that reporter was my friend.
You might say that, ever since the fan club, I've caused you nothing but trouble.
No. It's nothing like that. Of course not.
But why exactly are you here?
According to my prediction, Mami-san is going to have some major troubles.
So as her fan,
I was hoping that there was some way I could help her, and I flew here.
And similarly, as her fan, I also wished to help.
Ha! You're her fan?
Since that occasion, I've managed to become a true fan of hers.
Well, I suppose it would take some time to gain back your trust ...
Have you arranged the location?
Everything's set for June 29th.
W-W-Wait a second!
What is this June 29th? What location?
To have her anniversary concert in June, in Japan.
Was that not Mami-san's wish?
So I've been working to grant that wish.
But you can't!
Don't worry.
I will absorb all the costs for the cancellation of the Hong Kong concert.
But how did you manage to secure a venue?
Don't tell me you used your political power to force another group to cancel?
If that's the case,
then there will be a lot of ill will towards Parthenon Productions in the future ...
Of course I wouldn't do something like that.
I've managed to secure a venue where nobody has ever held a concert before.
Where's that?
The Central Racetrack.
Tachibana-san.
I want to make this a concert where dreams come true.
To that end, we offer our complete cooperation to you.
I understand.
Mami, are you okay?
Yes!
The Central Racetrack ...
The fateful place where I first received my compact.
That was the start of everything leading up to this day.
Creamy Mami's First Anniversary Concert.
On to my final concert!
It appears that Toshio is starting to remember details about my secret!
Please, wait just a little longer!
My final concert is coming up soon!
If he actually remembers ...
Next time: Toshio, Please Don't Remember!
See you then!
The petals that I tore off
Fly away in the wind.
And my feelings of love and hatred
Come and go!
I want to ask your heart ...
You can't be afraid of being hurt,
Because, you see ...
Love is feeling.
And love is touching.
It's nothing big.
The crescent moon is like a boomerang.
Wobbling as it flies to you!
Always loving!
I want you to feel my love!
Somebody is loving!
I have a dream of being in love ...
