Original subtitles

Ai, Ai, Ai, I love you!

Mai, Mai, Mai, my darling!

Mii, Mii, Mii, help me!

Popotan! Popotan! Popotan!

When you feel down

And you are at your wit's end

Ask the Popotan for advice

Yes, if you can be honest

And open up your heart

The Popotan will show the way

Will he come or not?

Does he love me or not?

Is this love true or false?

They have all the answers

I can't take it! Po po po!

I can't take it! Po po po!

I know, but I just can't stop!

It's impossible! Po Po Po!

It's impossible! Po Po Po!

Even if it's just a dream, never give up!

Popotan!

I'm home.

Welcome back, Daddy!

Look! Look!

What's this?

It's a picture of her at

the beach with a friend.

Look. Isn't it pretty?

It's really a lovely picture.

What's the matter?

This tree...

Things That Cannot Be Said

Ice cream!

Magical Girl ice cream.

Ice cream of love and justice!

That's Lilo!

Ice cream of love and justice!

That's Lilo!

Lilo? What do you mean?

Don't you know?!

She was the character in

the TV series that ran...

...one year from April 11, 1980.

The production director

was Seeta Fuefuki.

At the time, it was

Studio Belan's main work.

The anime director of those sublime

13 episodes was Oya Hiraya,

who later went on to direct that series about

the handsome super human "Coolman"!

It's a famous program.

What? You mean "the" Coolman?!

Yes. The never-behind-the-times

costume style.

That show was so real!

In any case...

Excuse me!

One rum and raisin please!

Uh, me too!

I'll have a chocolate mint!

Okay!

Mai, I need a hand!

Isn't Ai coming?

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

But we sure ended up

in a lively place.

Beach House

Merry Popotan

Can I have an ice cream?

Let's see...

Would you like a single, or a double?

We also do "specials".

Specials?

I'll take that if you give me

something extra.

Sure. Coming right up.

So, how much is it?

Sir, if you want to make this

a "super special"...

...I can give you even more extra.

Super?

What will it be?

The super special?

Uh, I'll take that.

That'll be 10,000 yen.

10,000?

Thank you.

Here are your "super" extras.

Just stay down there and be quiet.

Beach House

Popotan

Merry Popotan

Well that sure took some time.

Mea, would you like to switch?

No.

Miss Mai told me that I must not

under any circumstances.

I see...

But I've gotten better recently.

Those are Miss Mai's strict orders.

What a surprise.

It's Ai, isn't it?

And who may you be?

Daichi. It's Daichi!

Daichi?

The house looked familiar,

so I came to check it out.

I never thought you'd be here.

Moreover, the house looks

exactly like it did back then.

And you haven't changed at all.

I think that was when I was

in grade school...

...so it must've been about

30 years ago...

Aya...

Aya? What's the matter?

Huh?

Aya?

Uh, yes.

My name is actually Aya.

You've got the wrong person.

Aya, let's go.

Uh, sure...

Uh, but... Wait!

What beautiful eyes.

It looks like he's gone.

Uh, who are you?

I'm Keith.

Sorry to barge in like that.

It looked like you were in trouble, so I...

Thank you.

Who was he?

Uh, um...

It's all right.

What?

We all have things we don't talk about.

I'm not going to force it.

Keith...

This is very cute. Can I have one?

That was exhausting.

So Ai didn't bother at all today.

We'll have to give her hell.

Thanks very much.

We'll have to give her hell.

Thanks very much.

Ai?

Hey! Wow! Who's that man?

Hey!

They're kissing! They're kissing!

Goodbye.

Daichi came?

You mean Puffy Cheeks?!

I want to poke him in the cheeks!

I doubt that Daichi would

have puffy cheeks now.

What?!

And so this Keith guy came

and saved the day?

Yes.

So how did that end up with a kiss?

I think that was...

I think that was like a greeting.

I don't think it was a big deal.

Greeting, huh?

There's nothing to be concerned about.

There's no harm done.

You seem to be distracted by it.

Y-You think?

Oh, my!

It's fine if he sees it as a greeting, too.

But I sometimes worry

about your naïveté.

And sometimes I worry about

the size of your boobs, Mai!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Shut up!

Daddy, what is that?

Some treasures from when I was a kid.

Your grandma sent it to me.

Why did you want that

all of a sudden?

There was something that

was concerning me.

There.

So similar...

No, they're not merely similar.

The house, clothes, face,

everything is the same.

Oh, my. I haven't seen that in a while.

Isn't that the house that disappeared

before your eyes in a puff of smoke?

Disappeared?

I suggested that it was probably a dream,

but you refused to believe that.

You were so stubborn, even back then.

No way...

How can I help you?

I have an arrangement with Ai.

I haven't heard of any such thing.

It's okay, Mea.

Keith is here to show me

where I can find some Popotan.

Yes?

Is that right?

Did you get any information?

Unfortunately not.

Then let's go somewhere else.

Um...

Don't you find this strange?

What?

Well, most people would find it strange

that I can hear flowers speak.

Not at all.

I mean, flowers are alive.

I don't think it's strange that

you can hear their voices.

Right.

I finally get to see a smile.

Huh?

When I first saw you,

you seemed kind of sad.

Keith...

I thought a kiss would brighten

you up, but it didn't work.

I'm sorry.

No. I should apologize.

I'm sorry to make you so worried.

You can talk to me about anything.

If you feel like talking,

I'm here for you.

Oh, I'm fine.

Let's go.

Popotan.

Popotan.

Satellite Image Bank

So, thirty years ago...

Searching year...

This is the school.

So there it is...

And the year before that...

Nothing.

Nothing a year ago in this location.

That house must've been...

Ow! Ow!

It hurts!

Just take it easy!

But my sunburn really hurts!

Ai's much gentler with me!

You'll just have to put up with it.

Ai is having a talk with Keith.

What kind of talk?

I wonder, I wonder...

Who knows?

You think they're breaking up?

I don't think it's any of your concern.

That stings!

But I thought Ai would be

a little surer of herself than this.

She doesn't seem herself.

She's probably lonely.

I'm sure.

Don't be so precocious.

Moving?

Yes. So, I'm sorry we can't...

I see.

Keith...

Thanks for everything the past few days.

It's been a lot of fun.

Please wait!

I'm sorry.

You've been so concerned about me...

...and I just couldn't open up

to you in the end.

Don't worry about it.

It's not your fault at all.

I really want to tell you everything.

But, I just can't.

I just can't.

It's okay. Don't force yourself.

Keith...

You don't have to tell me anything.

The way I feel about you...

That was easy.

This is your share.

You...

What do you want?

It was really bothering me,

so I came to check it out.

The people I met 30 years ago

haven't changed.

And the house, too.

I want to know why this is here.

What are you talking about?

I looked into it.

One year ago there was no trace

whatsoever of this house here.

The house I saw 30 years ago

also didn't exist the year before.

If I look into it more closely,

I'm sure it'll become clearer.

This house and the people

who live here...

...traveled across time

from 30 years ago.

Let me see Ai.

If I can talk to her...

Who is he?!

What's going on?

You'll get hurt if you get in the way.

I wonder about that.

Mii, you stay inside!

But, Ai...!

Surprise...

Sorry.

Darn!

I don't want to hurt you people.

So, please!

Mai!

Mea!

There are things in this world that

you're not supposed to know.

Ai...

Who are you, anyway?

Please move out of the way.

If you let him live, you will not

be able to continue your journey.

You knew?

Yes.

So it was all an act,

right from the beginning.

You seemed to enjoy it.

Don't ever...

Don't you ever appear in front

of me again, please!

Are you sure?

If you let him live,

he'll leave evidence.

And someone who has

seen the evidence...

...will come after you, whatever

time you happen to be in.

If you don't like that...

It's fine with me.

Whether we reunite with the same person

or meet someone we really like...

...we'll never be able to

tell them our story.

It's the same as not being alive!

So, we are not in a position to

stop someone else from living!

Definitely not!

I understand.

If you feel that strongly about it.

However...

One day you'll understand.

You'll be okay now.

Now, Mai wants us back

as soon as possible.

All right.

I'm sorry.

No. I should be the one to apologize.

Um...

You don't have to tell me.

What?

Pictures Deleted

Daichi...

One day when you're able to talk...

...maybe you can tell me your story.

I'll be waiting until then.

Okay!

I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

I want to love you in technopunk

I transmit my love through the airwaves

I want to be romantic with you

I want you to laugh

I love, love, love you

S.U.K.I. Thump thump love

S.U.K.I. Gimme gimme kiss

S.U.K.I. Suki suki love

S.U.K.I. You love me? Kiss

Round and round

The needle of the time-space clock

Points to our star charts

The secret of love is revealed

I want to know more about

what makes my heart go thump thump

If every boy and every girl

believed in miracles

We'd be sure to find

the berry, berry strawberry day

I'll be fine even if we have to

say goodbye one day

I still want to tell you just how I love you

I love you! I, I love you!

Transform! Una!

Well, was I cute in that episode?

Christmas

Okay, the next episode of

Popotan is "Christmas".

Outside is a world of silver.

In the cold, the only sure thing

is the warmth of your lover!

I'm sorry. That's not true.

It's actually unusually hot this autumn!

It's freezing!

Do you feel a little cooler?

Good night, everyone!
