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.
Mom's Memorable Concert
I'm home!
Dad, Mom, I'm home!
Whoa!
Yuu!
Dad !
Great timing! Help us out here.
Here. A strawberry crepe and a chestnut crepe. Thanks for waiting.
What happened to Mom?
Well, you know ... it's her weekly TV time.
Ah, the amateur singing contest!
Yeah, that.
She sure loves it.
Tetsu!
Huh? What is it?
Oh, Yuu! You're here at just the right time.
They said the amateur singing contest is coming to Kurimigaoka!
Tetsu, do you wanna try out?
Are you listening to what's coming out of your mouth?
You know that I'm tone-deaf!
Welcome!
Okay!
It's busy in here, so help out if your show is over.
Hey, Yuu, how about you? You'll do it, right?
Huh ...?
Don't push this onto other people. Why don't you try out yourself?
Huh? Me?
I couldn't.
Why not?
Hey, Yuu!
This is your chance to show Toshio-kun that you're miles ahead of Mami.
Huh? But ...
Toshio-kun will definitely be impressed!
I guess ...
Then it's decided!
Hey, Natsu ...
Morisawa Yuu ...
Morisawa Yuu ... But would Toshio even come to watch me?
No worries! The guest judge is going to be Creamy Mami!
What?!
Well, Yuu, I'm going to turn this in, so do your best!
Wait, but ... Hey, Natsu!
Yuu! Hey, Yuu!
What are you going to do?
What will I do ...?
Parthenon Productions
Good morning!
Yay!
Oh, the amateur singing contest? No, it's fine, don't worry about it.
The judging doesn't have to be anything special.
I wanted to say ...
It's not like they're coming to see what you say as a judge.
They're coming to hear you sing, and see you in person.
So don't worry about it.
But about that day ...
Huh? Did you say something?
Anyway, let Kidokoro tell you the details.
Wait!
Isn't my schedule full of empty spaces?
It's not like I can do anything about that, Megumi-san.
Isn't it nice to get some days off?
Is that really what you believe?
Well, no ...
As your manager, I don't think the situation is good,
but I simply don't have any jobs to give you.
What did you say?
Umm, Megumi-san ...
Are you busy on this day?
No, I don't have anything on the day of your singing contest.
Yay! Then this is perfect!
Megumi-san, would you ...
Oh, but it's too bad!
I've decided to only perform in legitimate music programs.
So on that day, I'll be making sure to get lots of rest.
Just lie to your mom and tell her that you have a test or something that day.
Yeah, I'll have to. I feel bad about it, though.
It's not like you can be in a show at the same time as Mami.
Congratulations, Yuu!
Let's cheer for Morisawa Yuu-chan's victory at the amateur singing contest!
Hooray!
Why is she going to win? Is she even performing?
What are you saying?
Yuu-chan's bound to win!
Oh, will she?
Of course she will!
Well, Yuu hasn't even passed the preliminaries yet, so ...
Mister, if Yuu-chan is going to win, then she can't lose in the preliminaries!
I'm happy you're all here to cheer her on,
but can't we wait until she's gotten through the preliminaries?
Leave the cheering up to us!
I'm all prepared. I can do everything!
Here we are.
Yuu-chan Look!
That's right!
I can do badly in the prelims!
Why didn't I think of that?
What a simple-minded girl.
She goes right off and does this
as soon as she realizes she can fail the prelims.
Watch out there!
Nega, what do you think that person is doing?
Huh? Who?
Him? Hmm, it looks like he's looking for someone.
Wait! Don't get involved! You'll annoy him!
Sir?
Huh?
What's going on, sir?
A-Are you ... Fujino-kun?!
Huh? Fujino?
Ahh, well ...
Are you participating, little miss?
I'm not some little miss. I'm Morisawa Yuu!
What happened, sir?
Yuu-chan, huh? I'm looking for someone.
Ah, Fujino-san?
Can you tell me more, sir?
There she goes again, getting mixed up in things.
Well, it's been 14 years now ...
It was when I became presenter of this show ...
Fujino-kun wasn't a contestant.
But she had come along with a friend.
Her friend got so nervous, she couldn't sing.
And when she saw her friend struggling,
Amateur Singing Contest
she jumped up on stage and took the lead in singing.
With that quick courage and truly beautiful voice of hers,
I was moved by her performance, and encouraged her to sing professionally.
She seemed interested, and even signed up for an audition.
But when the music started to play, she wouldn't sing.
She seemed totally fine at the contest, but once she was alone,
she got frightened and couldn't sing.
She tried to audition multiple times,
but there was the same result every time.
I guess I really just can't sing.
That's not true!
It's obviously just that you're not used to being in this sort of place.
It's really too bad.
If you could release just one song, I'm sure you could become an idol.
It's fine, Kubo-san.
I know it's no use, and you can't keep trying forever.
And there are many other things ...
...that I'd like to do in my life!
Thank you so much.
Oh! Fujino-kun! W-Wait!
Don't give up yet!
You have what it takes!
You're an idol!
I really believe that ... so don't give up!
She dumped him!
Hmph!
I thought she might come back and perform one day,
so I've been presenting this contest ever since then.
I bet my long story bored you.
Uh uh! Not at all!
I'm sure you'll find her again someday.
Oh, we have to hurry.
Right! Let's do this!
Yeah, let's do it!
Hey, wait a second!
Wasn't Yuu supposed to ...
Stop being so annoying!
Amateur Singing Contest
I'm number 34, Morisawa Yuu.
And now we'd like to announce those who have passed the preliminaries.
Number 7.
Number 11.
Number 13.
Number 21.
And number 34.
They will move on to the contest.
Yay! I did it!
Man ... she went and passed.
Do you really think you should be so happy, as guest judge Creamy Mami?
Ah! Shoot, I forgot.
Don't worry about it. just pretend you're sick.
Yeah, I guess that's for the best.
If you tell them that you have a fever, they'll all be okay with it.
Can I come in, Yuu?
Yeah, sure.
It's about the singing contest.
You don't really want to participate, do you?
Huh? No, that's not it.
You know, I participated in the contest once when I was younger.
What?
So when I heard it was coming here,
I got nostalgic for how things were then.
But it doesn't really make sense if I didn't do it myself.
I was too embarrassed.
And so l pushed it all onto you.
But thanks, Yuu, for saying that you're not unhappy about it.
No! If you blow on it, you'll just make it colder!
Give it to me!
It doesn't seem like she has a fever, but ...
But I do! And I'm all shivery!
Let me see the thermometer.
While it's still hot!
38 degrees!
Well, if she has a fever, then there's nothing we can do about it.
Why don't we wait a little bit and check again? There's still time.
And you were acting so cool when we were all cheering her on.
What changed?
Well, she was going to be on TV and everything!
Well, too bad! Even if her fever goes down, she should stay home today.
Okay, Yuu? You just stay and rest in bed.
Yeah.
Come, Tetsu.
Later.
Sorry, Mom.
She's definitely faking it!
Yuu-chan would never lie!
Yuu-chan's the best!
You overestimate her.
You just don't get anything at all, Toshio-chan!
Huh?
Huh? What's going on?
Yuu-chan!
What are you doing?!
Why did you fake being sick, Yuu?
If you didn't want to go, you should have just said so.
You know I hate it when you lie!
Yuu, he's right.
I told you that you don't have to go if you don't want to.
You don't have to do this just because of my nostalgia.
It's not that. l ...
I just didn't want to be on stage with Creamy Mami.
You're so silly!
It's not like anyone was going to compare you to Mami-chan.
You had no chance of beating her to begin with!
That's not true!
I think Yuu-chan's much better!
Why, you ...
Yuu!
Look, don't claim it was something silly like that!
You're just afraid of being on stage, right?
It's fine to admit it.
Fine, I'll do it!
Really, Yuu?
I'll do it!
Good, good! C'mon, Natsu, we have to go get changed.
Yuu, is it really okay?
Yes, really!
See? Listen to what Yuu's saying, and let's hurry to the hall.
We'll be waiting outside, so don't run away.
Do your best, Yuu-chan.
Geez, what were you thinking?
What are you planning to do, Yuu?
Geez, what were you thinking? It's not like Mami can just not show up to judge.
Can't you think ahead at all? It's not like Mami can just not show up to judge.
Can't you think ahead at all? And once you show up you can't just sneak out.
I've said this before, but I can't stand how thoughtless you are. And once you show up you can't just sneak out.
I've said this before, but I can't stand how thoughtless you are. I'm worried about both Yuu and Mami! What will you do?
Both of you, shut up!
If she's still living somewhere around here, she's bound to come ...
Yuu! If you want to quit, this is your last chance.
If you get up on stage and can't sing, it'll be super embarrassing for you!
Toshio-chan!
Shut up, Toshio!
I'm going on ahead.
City Public Hall
Huh? Hi there, mister.
Are you looking for Fujino-san today?
Hello, Yuu-chan.
Well, my stomach has been feeling weird today.
I wanted to go to the bathroom, but ...
Okay! I can stand watch for you, so go ahead.
Really? Thank you!
Yuu-chan!
What are you doing there?
I'm doing someone a favor. I'm looking for someone.
Dad !
Yuu, did you find who you were looking for?
Uh uh. It seems they didn't come by.
By the way, when am I going on?
You're number I5, the last contestant.
So that means there's a long time until I go on.
I think I'll take a little walk.
Hey, Yuu! Make sure you come back early, okay?
Hey, guys. Let's make sure something strange happens before Yuu has to go on.
Huh?
What do you mean?
Well, I'm thinking, during the confusion, Mami can turn back into Yuu and go on stage.
Ah, I see. Leave it to me!
This is my specialty!
I'm counting on you!
I'm number 15, the last one, okay?
Sure, sure! Number 15, right?
I'm getting excited!
What shall I do?
Maybe I could roll a bunch of empty cans into the hall or something, to start with.
And then ...
I could run around in the audience and band and scratch people!
Ah, so harsh ...
Singing Contest
And now we'll have this week's special guest, Creamy Mami, sing a song for us.
The song is "Casual Love."
The petals that I tore off
Fly away in the wind.
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.
Mami-chan!
Number I, we need you on standby.
Y-Yes, sir!
Creamy Mami Signing
Where on Earth did Yuu get to?
Number 7, to standby!
Yes, sir!
Number 12, to standby!
Yes, sir!
Yuu ...! Please come back soon!
Well, it's too bad ...
Let's hear what Mami-san has to say about your performance.
Well, I think it was great that you sang with all your heart.
Th-Thank you very much!
Urn ... can I please shake your hand?!
Yes.
I'm so happy ...!
Hmph! If I'd known I could've shaken hands with Mami-chan, I would've tried out!
You, Toshio-chan?
You'd never make it past the prelims.
Hmph!
Maybe I should have tried out myself.
What if she doesn't come back?
No, no! She definitely said she'd do it.
I have to trust her.
Yuu?!
Number 12 is almost finished. Number 13, please come with me.
Yes, sir!
Oof ... Oof ...
Oof!
What number are they on now?
Number 13.
Really? Then it's almost time for us to go!
I'm so tired ...
What? You ...
We'd now like to welcome number 14, Miyaki Akira-san. Welcome!
Yes, sir.
Contestant Waiting Room
W-What's going on?
M-My d-daughter hasn't returned yet!
Huh? Your daughter?
My daughter is a contestant. Number 15, Morisawa Yuu!
Huh? Number 15? But it's almost her turn!
Ah ... it's too bad.
Professor Kobayashi Kyosei, what do you think?
Well, then! Her voice is quite lovely,
Nega! Posi! Well, then! Her voice is quite lovely,
Nega! Posi! but her sense of rhythm is a bit ...
Here we go ... What? Huh?
Nega, Posi, what happened?
Hey! You guys can't just be loafing around when your owner is about to go on stage!
Thank you very much!
And now for our final contestant of the day.
Number 15, Morisawa Yuu-chan. Please come on stage!
Go for it, Yuu-chan! Go for it, Yuu-chan!
You can do it!
Go for it, Yuu-chan! Huh? Where is she?
Huh?
Maybe she's too nervous to come out on stage.
I'll see if I can find her. Give me a minute.
What's happened?
Ah, Kubo-kun, this is Yuu-chan's father.
Y-Yuu hasn't come back yet.
Huh?!
Sir, do you know the song "Bin Kan Rouge"?
Yes, I know it, but ...
So, why don't you sing it instead?
What?!
Well, Morisawa Yuu-chan appears to have disappeared,
so her father is coming in as a pinch hitter!
Yuu-chan's not singing ...
Do your best, Pops!
Amateur Singing Contest
Basking in the tomato-red evening sun,
Ah?
I fly up a sunbeam in a golden taxi.
I can't do this!
Ma'am, this is bad!
Ma'am!
Tetsu, keep singing!
...two days since you've called,
I feel like it's a license to pinch you!
This might not be so bad!
I'm sensitive, so I'll get jealous!
But I'm still going to give you a kiss.
We're fated, so even if you turn away ...
I'll love you for 2.000 years!
City Public Hall
So! Today is the day I'll finally be able to ask her to marry me.
If Fujino-san isn't yet married, of course.
No, no, she must be single!
She's bound to be single!
Wow! You really haven't changed since those days!
Oh! Kubo-san!
I got caught up in something embarrassing again, didn't I?
Tetsu, this is Kubo-san.
He was a man who helped me out when I was trying to become a singer.
Hmm? Natsu, a singer?
"Natsu"? "Tetsu"? Are they possibly ...
Yuu! I found you! Where have you been hiding?!
I wasn't hiding! I just got a little lost, that's all.
Like we'd believe a lie like that!
Ahh, I'm envious that you have such a lively daughter, sir.
Well, she can be a bit of trouble.
Really, that kid.
"That kid"?
Ah, um, would you be interested in getting dinner, Fujino-san?
Oh! Since I married Tetsuo here, my name's Morisawa now.
But that'd be great.
We were just thinking of heading out to dinner about now ...
Kubo-san!
What happened? Hey, mister, what's wrong?!
N-Nothing. Nothing, really!
You wanted to become a singer, Morn?
When I was younger, yes. I auditioned so many times, but I could never do it.
I just wasn't cut out for it.
I think you could have become an idol famous all over Japan!
Well, I'll be taking my leave now.
Oh, please come in.
I'll prepare you some tea.
Ah, yes ...
Well, I'm glad that you didn't become a singer, Mom.
Why?
Because I want to hog you all for myself!
It makes me happy to hear that!
Please, have some tea.
Thanks! Of course!
I was led to room 909,
but they say there's no room by that number in the TV studio!
I thought it seemed like a mysterious place,
but I never thought something so terrible could happen there!
Next Time: Hurry Up, Yuu, Before the Turtle Gets You.
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 ...
