00:02Come on now, Anko.
00:07Come on, look at me.
00:09Just close your eyes and count from one to ten in your head.
00:33Mom, can I please take these things off now?
00:36But why?
00:38It's hot.
00:39But you look so cute.
00:42Princess Anko.
00:45Anko, you're so cute!
00:47Huh?
00:48You sure do look like a princess, Anko.
00:51This costume really suits you, you know?
00:54So I look cute?

01:14THE STREET
01:17THROUGH
01:17THROUGH
03:52What is that sound?
03:53I keep hearing a strange rhythm.
03:54Taiko drums.
03:56Because it's going to be festival time soon.
03:58Festival?
03:59Carnival!
04:00Why must you always be so contrary?
04:03Whatever you say, bird.
04:04Carnival's a wonderful time
04:05when women lose their inhibitions
04:07and the buds of love's blossoms burst into bloom.
04:10I cannot stay here.
04:13I must go in search of women.
04:15Summer has begun to stir.
04:17A sweet scent is on the wind.
04:19The heart races with the promise of love.
04:23What is it now?
04:24Please, Miss Ahn, come and assist me.
04:26Now you expect me to be nice to you?
04:29A small love has bloomed.
04:34It's bitter.
04:35Just deal with it.
04:37You're the one who ate too much mochi,
04:39so you're the one to blame.
04:40Oh, well, it's a good thing he still has his appetite.
04:43But why should we have to deal with
04:44Thera's constant overeating?
04:46Tamako's the one who decided to keep you.
04:48It sure wasn't me.
04:49You should just go to her room already.
04:51Keep me?
04:52You're deeply mistaken.
04:53She asked me to stay here, you know,
04:55so I'm graciously doing her that favor.
04:57Why is that bird so full of himself?
05:00Because he's a bird who can converse?
05:02Grandpa, I think you're way too easygoing with him.
05:05Oh, it's kicking in now.
05:07I'm free and clear, so I must now go
05:10in search of women.
05:14How very strange this is.
05:16I hadn't intended to land here.
05:19Look at me, you guys.
05:20What do you think, Grandpa?
05:21And I'll go, too.
05:23I wish you'd just call me on, okay?
05:24Oh, for the festival, eh?
05:27Yep, it's cute, isn't it?
05:28The Neighborhood Association
05:30decided to get some new ones this year.
05:32We cut into our profits,
05:33so they better look good.
05:34I'm really sorry, Father.
05:35Thanks so much for this.
05:37So what do you think?
05:38And look, it's the Usagi Yama logo.
05:40Is that supposed to be cute or something?
05:42And with this design,
05:44there's no way we're gonna lose out
05:45to another district this year.
05:46I've got one for Anko, too.
05:48Do you want to try it on?
05:49I told you, it's on.
05:50And I've got to go to school soon, so no.
05:53Oh.
05:54So do you dislike festivals, Anko?
05:56I don't exactly hate them.
06:00You seem awfully heavy, Dara.
06:02Very well.
06:03I shall now try to shed some of this.
06:06We'll be back!
06:07So, what do you think?
06:09Mm-hmm.
06:09I'd say you're almost back to your normal weight.
06:11It is true that humans must maintain a proper diet
06:14with regular bowel movements.
06:15But aren't you a bird?
06:16You be quiet, An.
06:17Unlike some less sophisticated fowls,
06:19I myself possess a noble spirit.
06:22And now, off I go.
06:24It's such a vivid...
06:25How long is that bird gonna stay here?
06:27Oh, good morning.
06:28Hmm?
06:29Oh, that's a great outfit, Mr. Oji.
06:32I know, right?
06:33And how about this year's official headband?
06:36Nice, huh?
06:36Isn't it just perfect for Rabbit Mountain?
06:39Ah!
06:39Those ears are totally cute!
06:42Cute, my foot.
06:43They're creepy.
06:43What was that?
06:44And now they're at it again.
06:46You are becoming quite a disgrace, old man.
06:48I'm feeling now.
06:48I don't need some old man calling me an old man!
06:55Everyone's already in festival mode.
06:58Oh, it's Anko.
07:00Would you like to have some freshly made croquettes today?
07:03Uh, I'm on my way to school right now.
07:05Oh, go on.
07:06It's not long until the festival.
07:08Huh?
07:09Ah, Anko.
07:10Want some Okara?
07:11Huh?
07:11We have some wonderful sardines today.
07:14Huh?
07:14But I'm on my way to school at the moment.
07:17Why not share some with your classmates?
07:19I bet they'd like that a lot.
07:20Because it's embarrassing.
07:22But why?
07:22Good morning.
07:24Oh, good morning.
07:26Good morning, Tamako.
07:28Ah, Anko.
07:29Have you finished your homework yet?
07:30I didn't have any homework today.
07:32Did you finish yours yet, Midori?
07:33I didn't have a thing today.
07:34Not one.
07:35And please, call me An instead of Anko now.
07:38It's An?
07:39Mm-hmm.
07:40She wants us to call her that.
07:41She hates Anko because, as she says, it's way too simplistic a name.
07:45But it's such a cute name.
07:46And it's nice because Anko is a filling in mochi.
07:49That's exactly why I hate it.
07:51So then, is calling too simplistic a name for the daughter of a carpenter?
07:55Well, Mr. Oji named his son Mochizo.
07:58Yeah, I guess we'll have to leave that particular riddle unsolved, won't we?
08:02Yeah, but that's what makes it so interesting.
08:05That's right.
08:05What's wrong?
08:06Shh.
08:09The next group project will be fun.
08:11Don't you agree?
08:12Totally.
08:13Oh, what is it?
08:14So let's work on it together, okay?
08:16Uh-huh.
08:16What's the matter?
08:18Just be quiet, Dama.
08:20Well, I think I'm gonna go now.
08:22You can have these.
08:24What's up with Anko?
08:26It seems she's got a bit of a...
08:27I get it.
08:28And I think it's pretty cool.
08:29Huh?
08:29What's pretty cool?
08:31Sometimes it really reassures me to know that you're so dim, Tamako.
08:35Huh?
08:35What does that mean?
08:37Oh, I get it.
08:39They're her enemies.
08:40We're gonna be late.
08:42Hey, wait!
08:46To see him first thing in the morning like that.
08:48Morning!
08:50Hey, what's up with you?
08:52Nothing.
08:53Morning, you guys.
08:54Oh, by the way, I know you had to leave early yesterday, so I guess you haven't heard about
08:59the museum trip, have you?
09:01A museum?
09:02The teacher told us we could take a trip to the museum so we can learn all about the
09:06things they have on display.
09:07Some of us thought we might try to go together.
09:09Wouldn't that make it so much more fun?
09:11Oh, that would be lots of fun.
09:12The people going are me, Momiji, and Yuko might come too.
09:15And then there's Tatsuya and Yuzuki as well.
09:19Anko, you'll come too, right?
09:20Uh, uh, mm-hmm.
09:23Hey, Tatsuya!
09:25Anko said that she's coming too!
09:27That's cool with me.
09:28So then, we'll see you next Sunday at noon, right?
09:30Let's meet in front of the school gates.
09:32So, Dad, about next Sunday...
09:35Forget it!
09:37What?
09:38We were understaffed last year as it was.
09:41And we might even have more orders to fill this year.
09:43But we could get Tamako to help out, couldn't we?
09:46Remember that you're a daughter of this shop too, Anko.
09:50Well, it's not like I wanted to be.
09:52In any case, come Sunday you'll be here helping out in the shop, and if you still really want
09:56to go to the museum, I can take you there next week myself.
09:59Mm-hmm.
10:01Well, going to the museum with my father isn't anywhere near as fun.
10:04The answer is still no.
10:06Fine, forget it, okay?
10:10I can still see you, you know?
10:12Aw, oh man.
10:14Why did I have to be born into a mochi shop family?
10:17Look, look, I made an outfit for Dad, too!
10:22Well, now, I'm truly fabulous, aren't I?
10:25I really couldn't care less.
10:27Oh, shock!
10:29Anko, why don't you like the festivals?
10:31They make us so busy.
10:32Festivals are such hard work.
10:34But back when...
10:38Hmm?
10:39Never mind.
10:42Oh, okay.
10:45Oh, that's Mochi's O.
10:47I've got to go and run an errand now, so Anko, listen in for me, okay?
10:51Tamako!
10:52Tamako!
10:52Over!
10:53She's not here now.
10:55Oh, it's you, Anko.
10:56I thought I heard Tamako...
10:57It's on!
11:00J.I. Anko will listen to you instead.
11:04I see.
11:05So, anyway...
11:07Do you know if Tamako will go see the portable shrine on the day of the festival?
11:11Over.
11:12I can hear you without the cop!
11:14This is totally meaningless!
11:16It really isn't necessary for you to yell.
11:18Over.
11:19Oh, that's right.
11:21Mochi, you're gonna be home all day Sunday, right?
11:24That's Mr. Mochi's O to you.
11:26Over.
11:27Forget it!
11:28Huh?
11:29But Dad, Mochi's O said he really wanted to help us out!
11:32I just can't trust Oji's son.
11:34He'll try to steal all our recipes.
11:36And besides, Mochi's O's family will be busy with the festival themselves.
11:40But that's not a problem for him!
11:42As long as he gets the chance to make Mochi with you on festival day, he doesn't care about
11:46his family's shop!
11:47But how come?
11:48I knew it!
11:49He's after all of our recipes!
11:51You just don't get it, do you, Dad?
11:53Oh, come on now.
11:54As a good neighbor, he only wants to help us succeed.
11:57You don't get it either, Grandpa!
11:59Well, why not have Mochi's O help us out?
12:02You're supposed to leave at noon on Sunday, Uncle.
12:05So why not wake up extra early on that day?
12:08You could take care of all your afternoons, work in the morning, and leave after that.
12:13How's that sound?
12:14If I do that, then can I go?
12:15But there'll be deliveries, and you'll need to help serve the customers.
12:18That's all right, I'm willing to help out with those things.
12:21And I'll help out with that, too!
12:26Fine, if it's such a big deal to you.
12:29Really?
12:30You really have to wake up at five in the morning.
12:33That's no problem!
12:34All right, let's work hard until festival time!
12:37Yeah!
12:49It's festival time!
12:50Oh, hey, sis!
12:52Good morning to you!
12:53Wow, you did get up early!
12:55Shiori's helping out, too!
12:56Good morning!
12:57Whoa!
12:58You know you didn't have to come in before 8 o'clock!
13:00Yeah, but I was awake much earlier than that.
13:02Okay, let's do this!
13:04Yeah!
13:08Tamako, you're so good at that.
13:10These are just the basics.
13:12But for today, I'm making something more festive.
13:14My extra special happy emoji!
13:17Happy?
13:17And happy, too!
13:19It's about happiness!
13:20So it's a pun, then.
13:21I guess you could say that.
13:22Did Dad say it would be okay with him?
13:24Mm-hmm!
13:24Right?
13:25I said you could make 20 as a test.
13:27See?
13:28I'm making an extra special limited edition!
13:30If you don't stop yakking about it now, the emoji's gonna start to hearty.
13:33Oh, you're right!
13:34I'm sorry!
13:35Help me make some, Anko!
13:37Nah, you know that I'm no good at that sort of thing.
13:39Oh, that's not true at all.
13:41You're a lot better at doing this than I was back when I was your age.
13:44Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
13:46Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
13:49What's that song?
13:50I don't know.
13:51But I always hear you singing it, Sis.
13:54Yep.
13:57There we go.
14:12Oh, my, what a bother.
14:14This won't do at all.
14:15I'm so sorry.
14:16I should have started fixing it much, much sooner.
14:19Please don't beat yourself up over this, Mr. Shimizu.
14:22Still, we have to put something up there, don't we?
14:25What about this guy here?
14:27It's a toy I found in my grandfather's shop.
14:29Hmm.
14:30It's not quite right.
14:32So what are we going to do about it?
14:34Huh?
14:36Ah!
14:38Huh?
14:40Huh?
14:41Ah!
14:45Well, well, well.
14:47My body's feeling so light today.
14:50Let's get him.
14:51To whom do you refer?
14:53Come on!
14:53Come on!
14:54Come on!
14:54Come on!
14:55Oh!
14:58The day of the year's most boisterous festival
15:02is the day that my shop is at its most quiet.
15:07Such is my ambivalence to the rest of the world.
15:11Don't worry.
15:12Once the paint dries, it'll wash right off with some water.
15:16Yeah!
15:17Lovely.
15:18This is the very last one.
15:20Seems like you guys finished up pretty quickly.
15:22Mm-hmm.
15:23We were pretty lucky to have Shiori helping us out this year.
15:26Now let's go enjoy the festivities.
15:28Oh, Shiori, check out your nose.
15:31Oh.
15:34And now I've got some, too.
15:37Oh!
15:38Well, I wouldn't want to be left out, either.
15:45Oh, Anko, isn't it about time for you to go?
15:47We can handle everything else from now on, so go on ahead.
15:50For real?
15:51Here's wishing you good luck.
15:56Luck with what?
15:57Okay, I'll be back later.
16:01I wasn't able to make mochi with her today, but at least Tamako can see me carrying the shrine.
16:06Mochi's out!
16:07Put more muscle behind it!
16:09My shoulders really hurt!
16:10Don't be talking out, wimpy, son!
16:13Wow, there are so many people!
16:16Anko, there you are!
16:18Oh, hi there, Kalrin!
16:20Oh, thank goodness, Anko.
16:21I've been looking all over for you.
16:22I could really use your assistance.
16:24We're short a few people to help get the little ones dressed for the festival.
16:33Anko?
16:34Um, yes?
16:35Would you come help hold her shoulder steady, please?
16:39Hang in there just a little longer.
16:44Now, just close your eyes and count from one to ten in your head.
16:56Okay, you're all done.
16:58Be careful not to touch your face.
17:01I look kind of weird.
17:02Can I take it off, please?
17:04But why?
17:05You look so cute in that.
17:06Do I really look cute?
17:07You look just like a princess.
17:09Really?
17:10Mm-hmm.
17:11You're a cutie.
17:13Oh, no.
17:14Huh?
17:14Miss Kalru, what time is it now?
17:17Let me see.
17:1811 a.m.
17:19It's so late, I gotta go.
17:20Do you have an appointment to get to?
17:22Mm-hmm.
17:22Do you really have to go?
17:24Huh?
17:50Well, I guess I couldn't make it today.
17:52One, two, one, two, one, two.
17:55One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.
17:59And let's go!
18:01Yeah!
18:03Rabbit-hippity-hah!
18:04Yeah!
18:10They look pretty silly.
18:13Huh.
18:14If I pass out before Tamico gets here,
18:16what a total waste.
18:18Ah, jeez.
18:22We're now selling happy mochi made especially for the festival.
18:26I'm home.
18:27Oh, hey, you guys.
18:29Uncle.
18:30I wasn't able to meet up with my friends in time.
18:32Huh? You had to miss your trip? I'm so sorry.
18:37It's okay. Don't worry, sis. It's not your fault at all.
18:40And actually, it turned out to be a really fun day.
18:43The festival?
18:47Hey, it's Mochi.
18:48And he's wearing a hoppy.
18:49Maybe he carried the portable shrine.
18:51I think the rabbit on his back is crying.
18:53Oh, how sad.
18:55Come one and come all.
18:57Hoppy Mochi, it's on sale today.
18:59Come and try your mochi, everyone.
19:02It's just for the festival.
19:04And just for tea.
19:06Oh, hey there, Uncle.
19:11Hey, how are you?
19:12We're on our way home right now.
19:15He heard me yelling my head up like an idiot.
19:21What's wrong?
19:23Poor Uncle.
19:23Uncle?
19:26Uncle!
19:27She's gone.
19:28Did she escape through the window?
19:29Stay where you are!
19:31What the heck? A golden bird?
19:34Is that a bad omen?
19:35Nah, it's just Dara up there.
19:37What's up?
19:39Hmm?
19:43Uncle?
19:44No!
19:45What's going on with you?
19:46It's nothing!
19:47What is it?
19:49Just leave me alone!
19:50What should we do?
19:52You can leave it to me.
19:53At times like this, we bombard her with delicious smells.
19:56Now take that.
20:00I hate mochi!
20:02Didn't she used to like this stuff when she was younger?
20:05I think she's gotten sick of it.
20:07Then let's try the opposite.
20:08That stinks!
20:09We'll smoke her out.
20:12Come on, Uncle.
20:13You really need to come on out of there.
20:16So now, what's this?
20:22Dara, are you all right?
20:23Hello?
20:24Sorry for the bother.
20:26We all chipped in to get Miss Katasha Rukawa a souvenir today.
20:30Huh?
20:31Hey, where'd the other kid go?
20:33Well, I think he said he had cram school.
20:36Oh, that's too bad.
20:37Hey, Uncle.
20:38Your friend is here, so come on out now.
20:41Hey, Uncle.
20:42For you.
20:51The thing is, we all decided to get a souvenir for you.
21:04Oh, well, uh.
21:09So, here you go.
21:18I hope we picked out something you like.
21:21Oh, well, thanks so much.
21:26You're welcome.
21:27Huh? So it's this kid that Anko likes.
21:30Looks like it.
21:31What do you mean?
21:32Uh, well, whatever. Anko's a really good kid, isn't she?
21:41Though some feelings remain unrequited, and some things do not go as one hopes,
21:46the path one must take is its own special flower.
21:49And now, another flower has bloomed.
21:52The water's fine.
22:19The water's fine.
22:28The water's fine.
22:31The world is burning.
22:36It's one moment, but it enters the location.
22:43You'll be leaving.
23:25There's a special scent on the wind this time of year.
