Are you sick?

What's wrong then?

I'm bored.

Why?

I'm tired of looking at temples!

Well, it is a historical tour.

I miss Ginza.

Oh, you little princess.

Hurry up!

Don't rush me.

The f-stop and shutter speed...

Ready?

It's a movie shoot!

A movie shoot!

Let's go.

Come back!

- Come on! - Wait up!

Shall we go too?

It might be educational.

- Are you OK? - Never mind!

Hurry.

- Let's roll - Here we go, Mr. Takarada.

Let's do it.

We've got company.

Oh, no! What now?

- May I? - Go ahead.

How many hours do you work?

We're part-timers.

- You have a Tokyo accent. - Ginza.

You're not local.

We're from Tokyo too.

So? Get out of here!

- Are you cold? - Just a bit.

Where can I send the photo to?

I've heard that one before!

She's onto you!

Please go.

You're tough. So long.

Good riddance.

Two are missing.

Ruri and Yumi.

Not again.

They fell in the river.

How did that happen?

Well, you fell first...

Come in!

This tastes bad.

Don't be ungrateful.

How do you like Kyoto food?

- Very nice. isn't it? - Yes.

Eat up. I informed your teacher that you'd be late.

I'll call in some maiko dancers for you.

That's great!

You poor girls, working in the river!

We couldn't just lie there.

This will suit you, Ruri.

How pretty!

This is for you.

Me in a kimono?

- Just for a change. - But I've never worn one!

I should have borrowed a dress for her.

Madam, the call came through.

I'll take it here.

Hello?

How are you, Nobu?

I can't believe how your girl has grown!

Yes. they're both here.

It's your mom.

The poor girls...

In the river?

That's why I'm opposed to these trips!

What?

So she's OK?

Good! I'd die if anything happened to her.

She's all I have!

Calm down! I'll get her.

Your mom's nagging me to put you on.

Hi. Mom! It's Ruri.

Ruri. darling!

I knew I should have gone with you!

It's not a kindergarten trip.

I'm a senior. I'll be at college next year.

Oh, please!

You talk like an adult but act like you're ten.

If it wasn't for my good-luck charms you would have drowned.

Oh Mom! The water was knee-deep!

How Nobu loves you!

- Here's Mom. - Thank you.

Hello.

| know, don't worry.

I'll take care of her.

That's right.

Is the maiko girl on your mind?

- Not her. - Who then?

The one at the river.

- The cute one? - No. the tough one.

Have you gone crazy?

I guess so.

I can't forget her.

Holidays can do that to you.

- She's unique. - You've lost it.

Let's eat.

Hey, just in time!

You started eating?

I'm hungry!

You can't eat the inn's food when we're in Kyoto!

Let's go out.

I don't want maiko girls.

You didn't mind them last night!

- He's in... - Quiet!

The spring moon is misty above Mount Higashi

Every night I see the bonfires in the mist

My dream stops at the sight of red cherry flowers

An image of a girl with swinging sleeves

How I miss Gion

And her long hanging obi

I'm completely charmed!

Me too!

Ruri, can you dance for us?

No. I'm terrible!

Your mom told me to see you dance.

She did?

You've learned it for years.

I don't like doing it.

- You do it for Mom? - It makes life easy.

How cheeky!

- I know how you feel. - You do?

I'm not a maiko by choice. I came here as an orphan.

You're beautiful and unlucky!

All maiko are unlucky.

Don't be silly.

What are the things you like?

Well...

I am a teenager so I love jazz.

I prefer mambo to this!

- I love mambo too. Let's dance! - Yes!

Girls!

Let them enjoy themselves tonight, please.

OK. if you dance for us.

I'll dance in a maiko kimono then.

Can I borrow yours, Daisy?

Thistle Inn

Good evening.

Welcome.

I'm here to see Nobu.

- May I ask your name? - She knows me.

Madam, you have a visitor.

It's been so long.

Hello there!

Mr. Kitajima.

It's been so long!

It's been over 10 years.

You have a nice inn.

Thank you.

You look well.

Single women don't age.

I know it's sudden but...

I'm moving to France soon.

So I wanted to make arrangements for Ruri's future.

It might come as a surprise but we need to talk.

How about your wife?

She won't mind. In fact she suggested it.

She's softer now.

Well...

How is Ruri?

Good. She's on a school trip in Kyoto.

She must be all grown up!

Why don't you come in?

I have to go now.

Oh, how you've grown!

Nobu worked so hard to raise you...

It would be nice to take a photo to show your mom.

Get the photographer.

It's her!

She's coming!

Bow!

Ms. Kamezawa on the School Trip

Be quiet.

Whose idea was this?

I took the photos.

Thank you for your wonderful photographs.

Ma'am.

It wasn't just him. I suggested that we make an album.

So you're in on it. The mastermind.

Miss, I'm responsible, too. It was my camera and film.

You're the producer.

Yes.

During the break we asked everyone's opinion about the album

and if it would make a nice present.

The majority agreed.

OK class, let's begin.

The Chiaki Family

- We'll get a one week suspension. - Or longer.

It got out of hand.

Who cares? If it's 2 or 3 weeks we get to have a holiday.

You should worry a little!

You worry too much.

Because you're too casual

Mrs. Chiaki isn't home.

- Is Mr. Chiaki in? - Yes.

- I'll see him then. - Right.

Come in!

Go ahead.

Sit down please. I'll be right with you.

- Let it out! - She'll cry again.

I will not cry!

I see a big teardrop!

I hate crybabies.

It's not funny.

Really? Young people should have a sense of humor.

I will be lenient

if your daughter promises not to do it again.

She clearly feels bad about it.

She looked so sad.

Don't cry. I wish you wouldn't cry

Wimpy crybabies are not for me

It's all too much for poor Ruri

Oh, rats! Forget what Ms. Kamezawa said

She's just a bully and she's good at that

She's grumpy from morning till night

Guess who she caught this time It's us

Guess who she caught this time

It's us

Don't cry, you're so weak! Wimpy crybabies are not for me

Though I love how Ruri is emotional

This is all too much for poor Ruri

Come here!

She's off to see Mom!

Come this way.

She'll join you in a moment.

Thank you for coming, Ma'am.

Sit down please.

Running an inn keeps me busy.

That's why I can't attend PTA meetings.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you for taking my girl to Kyoto.

She said it was a memorable trip.

See her memento. It arrived two days ago.

From Kyoto?

| have a dear friend in Kyoto who's a geisha madam.

She had Ruri and Yumi over and what fun they had!

You mean those girls were with a geisha madam?

Good heavens, what's wrong with that?

The immoral life of a geisha isn't for girls.

Oh, excuse me.

People put down geishas but they can be so caring.

Girls their age should see a little of that world.

Wait a minute...

No, I won't.

Girls nowadays are too aloof.

They marry without knowing about geisha who steal their husbands.

Wives say that geishas are the remains of feudalism.

But there's something about geishas that men prefer.

Girls can learn something from geishas.

It's a pity you have to go.

Goodbye.

Oh, you're home.

What did she say?

That woman was quiet as a broken drum!

She got preachy about geishas

and became silent when I defended them.

Don't be proud of that.

Really. Whose side are you on?

- Oh, poor Mom! - Why?

You're unprogressive.

Don't be cheeky!

Dad didn't stay with you because you were a geisha.

I guess so.

Then it doesn't make sense for you to support it.

Ruri.

Is there something on your mind?

Like what?

Are you lonely without a father?

No, I'm fine.

I guess it would have been better if he'd been around.

Don't be mean!

How did it go with the teacher?

It's settled. I said we'd bring in the negatives and apologize.

- I'm off the hook? - I can handle her type.

I'm saved!

Oh Ruri, the smallest thing puts you off your food.

I'm sensitive, not like you.

So you say.

You have a visitor.

Who is it?

She calls herself Daisy.

The love of my life!

Sensitive, huh?

Can this be her first love?

- Where are they? - In the suite.

That's for couples!

Ruri wanted that room.

Ruri?

Yes.

Mother, her father was a baron.

Her name is Machiko Kyogoku.

Oh my!

A baron's daughter!

How nice of you to visit us!

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too!

I'm just an inn owner but Ruri will do better things.

She learns tea ceremony. flower arrangement and dance.

- I'm master of none. - Don't say that!

Mom talks too much.

Some guests say I was born in the year of the Canary.

You certainly carry yourself like nobility!

Mom told me not to take her to a common place.

What a crass laugh.

It's your fault!

- Finish it up. - No.

Anything else?

I'd like a beer please.

Ms. Kyogoku, only adults drink beer.

I'm almost an adult so it's OK.

But you're only 17 years and 5 months old!

In a month I won't be a maiko anymore.

Will you get married?

That'd be great.

What will you do then?

I'll be a geisha.

That sounds nice.

Not in my case.

Why not?

- She doesn't want to say! - But we're friends.

Sorry. I can't say. Will you still be my friends?

Yes. I've planned a fun schedule for you!

Good. I want to enjoy these ten days!

Okay!

Let's eat.

It's hot!

I almost killed myself a couple of times!

Poor Daisy!

It's such a tragedy!

Yumi, your mom called. She says it's urgent.

Oh, really?

I'll go home then.

I'll be back. Don't cry, you two.

Okay?

- It's past 9. Don't come back. - Mom won't mind if I sleep over.

He must be a strange boy to like our Yumi!

He's a character.

I'll bring him over to meet you.

He's always welcome. I'm afraid Yumi won't behave though.

She knows when to behave.

A mother's bias!

I'm home!

Oh, hello.

What's so urgent?

Meet my old friend, Sumura.

I'm Yumi, the rear end.

- She's the youngest. - So we call her the rear end.

Mmm, you look tasty.

You sound like a cannibal.

That's funny!

- What's so urgent? - That was an excuse.

Your eyes are puffy. Were you crying?

I encountered a social injustice.

That's a big word.

A tragedy in the civilized world.

Silly girl!

We're talking about human trafficking!

What happened?

- Mom, it's about the tyranny of men. - Excuse me?

The abduction of a 17-year-old maiden by a bald company owner.

Oops, no offense!

None taken. You're very direct.

And the bald owner?

He will own her life.

- Who is she? - A Kyoto maiko.

What's funny?

That's a geisha tradition.

I don't think it's funny.

What does she want to do?

Daisy has given up.

- Daisy? - That's her maiko name.

Next month the bald...

Sorry.

The bald guy will make her his.

So you cried.

That's not all. She's met her first love.

Who is he?

He's in Tokyo so she came to find him.

She came before the union with the bald guy next month.

Isn't it tragic?

It is, Indeed.

- What's urgent? - Never mind.

- I'll stay at Ruri's. - And cry all night!

OK!

So melodramatic.

What are you up to?

Looking for pills she might take.

Oh, no! You were crying again.

- Yumi, don't! - It's OK.

Let her sleep.

Good night.

It's not fair!

- I could eat her. - Yumi, go home.

Yumi, go home.

You can go and sleep with mommy.

Don't be mean.

- There's no room. - I'll survive a fall.

Saito...

Saito?

Saito.

I have an idea. We'll call every Saito in town.

He should have a phone.

Don't be silly!

We don't even know his full name.

Use your brain.

We'll call and say, "Mr. Saito?"

"Does your son go to Seihoku University?"

It'll work!

That's good.

The search is on!

Telephone Directory

Saito, Saito, Saito...

There are way too many Saitos to call.

The phone bill will be astronomical.

Over 10,000 yen.

Oh, that's far too much to spend.

Haven't you any idea of where he lives?

No...

You should have asked him.

I didn't anticipate this.

You don't know the name of the man you love!

Oh, well...

Do you know the name of the boy you see on the train?

That's irrelevant!

How close did you get to him?

This close.

You held a stranger's hand!

You'd met him twice?

That's not unusual.

Did he declare his love for you?

Not exactly

but he gazed into my eyes.

What did you do?

I stared right back at him.

Then what?

That's all.

That's all?

But I know how he felt.

You can't base anything on that!

Eyes express more than the mouth.

I know they say, "Eyes speak louder than words.”

What will we do?

Sorry. I came to Tokyo so I could ask him how he feels.

OK, we'll change our strategy!

Looking for a man

Mr. Saito who recently visited Kyoto,

contact me on Tokyo-0356

Hello. Yes?

Are you the Mr. Saito who visited Kyoto?

Right.

Was your trip in September? Why don't you know?

Oh, you're calling for your friend?

Is your friend's face oval-shaped?

Rectangular and pointy on top?

It's not him. Thank you.

You want money for the tip-off?

I'll do it.

- You don't know how to handle them. - Sorry.

Hello, Is this the Mr. Saito who went to Kyoto? When was it?

Last February? Goodbye.

Didn't I write "recently"?

Hello, did you go to Kyoto?

What? France? You have the wrong number.

- A prank call. - What next?

This is tragic.

Hi, is this about Kyoto?

France? Give me a break. we're dealing with a tragedy.

Next time I'll yell at him!

- Keeping busy? - We just started eating.

You have your lesson.

- Is the teacher here? - Yes.

Can I cancel it?

Not before the performance.

You care more than me.

It might be the Frenchman.

Hello?

Oh! Hi. Mom.

I know it's not urgent!

- Was there a call about France? - Loads of them!

It's for me. Let me know if he calls.

Oops, sorry.

I envy young people.

- Do you like travelling? - I do but...

I'm too lazy.

I love it.

It's travel mania.

- I'm leaving tonight. - Where to?

- To lzu Peninsula. - For how long?

10 or maybe 20 days.

Nice!

And a world trip when your dad dies!

That won't happen soon.

He can't die, he has many businesses to run.

Traveling is my protest.

He's only interested in making profits.

So you help him spend money?

That's right.

That's a creative excuse.

Having a good time?

- Where is Yumi the rear end? - She didn't believe it was urgent.

We used that trick too often.

Yumi's been entangled in a drama since yesterday.

- Have some. - No. I have another appointment.

What a shame! You should stay.

I'll come again.

You're welcome any time.

These are for Yumi.

- Better than the teacher's photos. - She looks aloof!

She said it was her job.

- No. - Her trick.

And when he asked her where to mail the photos to

she said...

"I've heard that one before.”

She's merciless!

That's why the boy likes her!

How can you love him after meeting him twice?

I know. I tried hard to forget him.

You couldn't?

I realized that he reminds me of my dead father.

Oh, you're truly a tragic heroine.

Is this about Kyoto?

Oh, France. Can you hold please?

Like Okitsu Island

The waves roll in and out...

- You're not focused. - I know.

Try harder! Don't disappoint your mother.

Do it again.

The waves roll in and out

Now repeat it and dip down.

Again.

And suddenly "Don't make fun of me, please."

Oh, those girls!

By the way

I had to see you now because I leave for France three days sooner.

Ambassador Kitajima to Depart Earlier

Oh...

Which means I won't be able to accept your invitation.

It's a real dilemma.

Oh, but I'd appreciate it if you could find a way.

I know how you feel.

My wife would understand your feeling.

But I can't change my schedule.

She can perform earlier.

She won't be ready.

The teacher can help her.

We can proceed without seeing the performance.

But... That won't do...

It's so important to Ruri!

You've always been stubborn.

I'm afraid so.

Alright! I know that expression.

I think that's enough phone calls for one day.

Just a little longer.

No one will call now. We can leave it to the maid.

Then what?

Let's rejuvenate with a night out.

- Amen! - Let's go!

The Nippon Theater

The Autumn Grand Show

Girls, you shouldn't just watch.

Let me tell you what I'll do. I'll become the star.

How?

I'll pretend to be her!

- You will? - Yes, it's great!

Let's do that.

Who's first?

Rock, paper...!

Can you keep it down?

Daisy, your turn.

When I think of how I was yesterday

It makes me laugh

How I was gentle and sentimental, cha-cha!

But since you showed me how to do the cha-cha

I've become wild!

When I'm walking

When I'm sleeping

When I'm romancing

I sing and dance and I won't be sentimental

With a big bow swinging in the wind, cha-cha

I'll marry my dreamboat

How can I be gentle, sweet and sentimental

While the cha-cha's playing and my heart is swaying

I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking

I'm haunted by the cha-cha beat.

I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking

I do the cha-cha in my sleep

How can I be gentle, sweet and sentimental

For I'm temperamental when I cha-cha

With you

Your turn, Yumi.

Oh ho, far away in Africa

Happy as the African is the bingo bingo bingo

Oh ho, take a trip to Africa, any trip to Africa

Come on along and learn the lingo

Oh ho, if you go to Africa, happy, happy Africa

Oh ho, it's lively in Africa It's paradise on Earth

Play the bongo and swing-o! Play it loud samboomba!

Oh ho, you should go to Africa Find romance in Africa

Shaded by palm trees Near a jungle bungalow

Oh ho, let's go to Africa Wonderful Africa

With a crocodile by your side In the dreamy jungle-o!

Your turn. Ruri.

She's a pretty Eskimo girl With red cheeks and a fur hood

The man she fell for sleds through a blizzard

On a frozen field under an aurora their passionate whispers melt the ice

Polar bears, seals, otters and walruses, too

Everyone is dizzy to see their rendezvous

She's a pretty Eskimo girl Her red cheeks turn even redder

It's finished.

That was fun!

Yumi!

Good morning.

Everyone's already gone to school!

But...

Forget your tragedy. Go to school.

But...

No talking back!

Don't talk back!

Yumi! Stop arguing and come here.

Yes.

What is it?

Look at you!

- Were they mailed? - Hand delivered.

By who?

Well...

Kinuko!

Yes, Dear?

What is the boy's name?

Oh, you're so forgetful!

You didn't ask him?

No.

Right...

I know!

I forgot to ask his name.

How silly!

Give me a break! Papa loves mambo...

I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills.

When all at once I saw a crowd. A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Yumi?

What are you thinking about? Lyrics?

You're creative when it comes to photo albums and parody songs.

Sing for us.

Don't cry. I wish you wouldn't cry

Remember?

Come on, let's hear it.

Sing!

Go on.

Don't cry, I wish you wouldn't cry

Wimpy crybabies are not for me

Though it's sweet when Ruri cries

It's all too much for poor Ruri

Oh, rats!

Forget what Ms Kamezawa said...

She's just a bully and she's good at that

She's grumpy from morning till night

Guess who she caught this time It's us

Guess who she caught this time

It's us...

Daisy.

We're getting nowhere.

I know...

Hello. That's right.

What? You were in Kyoto in September!

I'm Saito's friend. I just saw the sign you put up.

Did you two visit a geisha house?

Saito did but that's not my idea of fun.

So I went to a movie.

Saito wouldn't shut up about a wonderful maiko he'd met.

Did he tell you the maiko's name?

Pansy?

That's crazy!

Well... how about Stacy?

Was it some kind of plant?

It's a flower.

Right, Daisy!

Bingo. Do you know where Mr. Saito is?

Travelling? Where? Where?

Where is he?

Down in lzu, for ten days or something.

You don't know where he's staying?

Anyway, we'll thank you after we find him.

Hello? What's his first name?

What? Matano Hyoe?

What?

Like Goto Matabe. the samurai warrior?

You lost me. What is his name?

Matabe? He does sound like a samurai.

Thank you.

We found him!

We did it!

- What's this? - We found Saito!

We finally found him!

We found him!

Lend me 5000 yen and I'll never ask again.

What's so urgent?

I want to stop a tragedy.

When will you pay me back?

I'll finish high school and college, then I'll get a job and a bonus.

OK, go get it from Mom.

Dad, you're the best!

Please, please, please!

No, no, no, no!

Mom, I won't ask again!

So you say!

- I mean it this time. - No.

Oh, mom, this is a tragedy.

I know that.

But this trip you're taking is so vague.

It would be terrible for both of us if you missed your performance.

It's not like I'm going to be a geisha!

Well, don't say that!

Saving a girl is more important than a performance.

Ruri,

you're a clever young woman.

I'm just an old, uneducated ex-geisha.

But I have pride and I'm as compassionate as anyone.

Listen well.

I've done my best to make you into a young lady.

Your debut performance is the result of that.

I don't know what you mean.

That's because you never knew what was behind it.

What?

I had a goal.

I wanted to show off to everyone before you met your father.

I don't want to meet him!

I know. I vowed that he wouldn't call you his daughter.

But his only child died and now he wants you.

How selfish!

I thought so too.

But I...

I weakened.

What happened?

- I met him after 17 years. - My father?

He pleaded with me.

No!

You might have changed your mind but not me!

I've never told you this before

but...

Not having a dad made me feel inadequate.

How I wanted a father.

But I didn't want to think of him as my father.

Anyway I had you.

I have you so I don't need him.

Ruri, wait.

You know how hard it would be to let you go.

But it's no good to be fatherless.

You'd have a better life as an ambassador's daughter.

lzu Peninsula Bus Services

Yes.

That's right.

We've just finished eating.

Don't worry. At least we have our appetites.

Have you been crying again?

No, I've run out of tears.

Now you're the tragic heroine of a family drama.

Don't be mean!

Find Matabe and don't get suicidal if you fail.

We might! I'm a heroine in a teenage romance!

Don't worry about us. Bye bye.

Crybaby.

None of the inns have a Matabe Saito staying there.

Oh...

Want a bath?

I'm too tired.

I'll go by myself then.

Beautiful!

Better than the classiest girl.

I'll do my best.

Your father will be happy.

I'm not dancing for him. I'll dance for you alone.

Hey, it's you!

Oh, have we met?

Come on!

Right, in Kyoto!

- What a coincidence! - Not a nice one.

You got me again.

Do you know Matabe Saito?

You want to meet him?

Yes, it's important.

I'm Matabe Saito.

You can't trick me!

Really. I am Matabe Saito.

The maid said there was no Matabe staying here.

You heard that?

My name's boring so when I travel I call myself "Tabio."

So you're Matabe Saito!

Like the samurai.

Good!

It's simple. You have to free a woman from slavery.

It's not that simple.

Then why did you hold her hand and gaze at her?

I thought that was the etiquette.

- Oh, what you put Daisy through! - So you say!

Marry her.

That's outrageous!

I have a question.

Well? Ask away.

What do you think of me?

Nothing.

- Did your parents mention me? - No, they didn't.

That's strange.

Why?

You saw the photos, right?

Yes. You brought them over?

- But nobody mentioned me? - No.

Too bad!

Why?

I want to date you and get engaged.

That's silly!

I love how you think.

No chance!

No chance!

Poor little Daisy, you can sing your heart out.

Whenever you felt tears well in your eyes

Hide it under the guise of a smile

So happiness shall come from the sky far beyond the hills

From behind the distant clouds

If you lost your love and your heart aches

Don't cry even for a second

Wait until tomorrow for the blue morning sky

Hopes and dreams will surely fall from the sky

Can you hear her sing?

She lost her mom when she was three

and her dad when she was eight.

Poor girl.

Yes, and you can help her out.

I'll do what I can but I won't marry her.

You have to tell her why you can't marry her.

- I don't know... - Let's go.

- Daisy. - Yes.

- I can't marry you. - Right.

Let me ask you something, Saito.

Don't you feel at all responsible for flirting with Daisy?

No.

I shouldn't have mislead her,

but I can't marry her.

But I'll find a way to help.

Idiot! You have no business sense.

I'll demote you!

Hi, Father.

How's your blood pressure?

It stays up when the stock goes down.

You're in a had mood.

I'll come back.

Don't be cowardly!

It's a business proposition but it can wait.

I won't feel better.

Then let's talk now.

I'm getting married.

She's a maiko.

You idiot!

This is for blood pressure.

It works magic.

Article 3 of our family creed states you can't marry a geisha.

I know.

- And you dare to defy it? - Yes.

I'll have to disown and disinherit you.

That part hurts.

It hurts me too.

I've invested so much in you.

If I gave her up, would you compensate me?

That makes better economical sense than to disown you.

OK, I'll give her up.

You have business sense.

Like father like son.

How much?

That's too much. I'll give you one finger.

How much is that?

- 1 million. - That's more than enough!

What? You only wanted 500.000?

I was too hasty!

1 million yen

A benefactor hopes to release Daisy with this payment.

How gallant! Such a man is rare these days.

This should satisfy all parties.

Keep it secret so that Daisy won't feel indebted to her benefactor.

I see.

How very kind of him!

Thank you.

Ruri Hanayagi Dance Performance

Hello.

Enjoy the show.

- Hey, you're late! - Sorry.

- Give her a big clap! - OK.

Show your support!

I'll be back.

Go on.

Yumi!

Daisy, you made it!

Actually I'm Mitsuko now.

So you quit?

I'm happy for you!

Madam suddenly told me that I wasn't cut out for it.

- She let you go! - I don't know what got into her.

Really!

I just woke up.

In this Asazuma boat

Remembering the old story

Of the romance at Risankyu Palace

Japan's best!

I hide in the dark of the night

Waiting for my lover for many moons

The shadow of the crescent moon startles me

Birds perch by the pond The fish still under the moon

The autumn evening gives way to the morning

The temple gong signals the dawn The moon fades like my longing for him

Thank you.

- I'm starving. - Eat some of this.

Ruri, you did a marvelous job.

Hello.

She is something.

She really is.

My wife was so impressed.

You even got teary.

I wondered why he hadn't done something sooner.

Thank you so much.

It's your father.

You've been through a lot, but from today you are my daughter.

I just want to be with mother.

What?

Sorry, she's still a baby.

No! I'm an adult.

I don't need a father.

Ruri!

It's alright. He should make an effort to gain her trust.

That's right.

She's an honest and innocent girl.

You danced wonderfully. You've made your father very happy.

- Ruri, you were wonderful. - It was lovely.

I called out to you.

I was charmed.

You're good.

Mambo, Jambo, shall we go To the place where dreams come true?

Where you dream and long to go We'll dance and have fun

Mambo, Jambo, shall we dance When we dance mambo

All the hard times and sorrow will be replaced with fun

Shall we dance the mambo? Shall we sing some mambo?

And we can fly to the garden of dreams

If you're having a good time invite your friends to come too

On the wings of dreams soaring high we go

Mambo, Jambo!

Under the blue sky a romance waits for me

It promises joy and it's inviting

Under the blue sky he waits for me

With eyes burning with passion as he invites me

Both my dreams and yours are

Afloat somewhere up in the blue sky

Across the blue sky my dream flies away

Until it's far away beyond the white cotton clouds

During the lunch recess my loved one told me

I'll be in the usual place waiting for you

Ran-ran-ran-ran rendezvous!

We are young, so is the night And we whisper to each other

I, I, I, I, I love you! You, you, you, you, You love me!

We are young and free tonight Ran-ran rendezvous!

Jan, ken, pom! One, two, three!

One, two, three, four Rock, paper, scissors!

Paper flutters like petals, scissors are a butterfly

Rock's a Buddha statue

Three spunky girls throw Rock, paper, scissors!

It's scissors! We flutter over the flowers like butterflies

Three spunky girls throw Rock, paper, scissors!

It's a rock! We're all Buddha statues, with eyes closed in prayer

Three spunky girls throw Rock, paper, scissors!

We're the Jan-ken Girls We're friends forever

Three spunky girls throw Rock, paper, scissors!
