I Put Lipstick On!

Screenplay: Chiaki Konaka

Director: Harume Kousaka

It's Mysterious Magical Fun Fun Pharmacy, get in line!

Yet another hot day.

School's about to start again.

It'll be nice to see everyone again, but...

It's no fun that summer's over so soon.

Don't worry, the summer isn't over quite yet.

It still gets really hot every day.

Oh...

Sweat has put my makeup in quite a sorry state.

Feel free to come in, Potpourri!

Okay!

You're so good with make up, Miss Fukiko.

Because I like it.

My mom wears makeup too, but I don't think she's nearly as skilled as you are!

She doesn't put on her lipstick like that at all!

All done!

It's very pretty!

Are you here, Miss Fukiko?

Yes, I'm coming!

How pretty...

Huh?

What's that?

This is... lipstick.

Oh, really?

Really!

That's good to hear.

Oh, and my daughter has been complaining about her eyes itching lately.

I think I look a bit more grown up.

Thank you very much.

Potpourri?

Oh?

I think I feel a bit more grown up too.

Oh, Mr. Camera Shop Guy!

Hello!

Uh, hello... Warm day we're having.

Uh, what?

He was acting weird.

Hello, Mister Tobacconist!

Have you been well, Kinta?

Hello. Who might you be?

If you know his name is Kinta...

You don't recognize me either?

I'm Potpourri!

Oh, a relative of Potpourri's!

That's why you knew his name.

No, I am Potpourri!

You are?

That's a pretty bad joke.

Potpourri is a child.

I am a child!

Pack of smokes, please.

Welcome.

Why?

Why don't they recognize me?

Could it be because of the lipstick?

That's weird. I just put on some lipstick and now they don't recognize me at all.

Okay, please bring the sunflowers to the store later.

Mister Florist!

Mister!

You'll recognize me for sure!

Um, err...

Someone you know?

No... Have we met somewhere?

What? No way!

How could you not recognize me? That's just strange!

What?

She is someone you know then.

I'm sorry, but you must be mistaking me for someone else.

What do I look like to you?

Huh? I don't really know what to say...

Seems like you have your hands full, so I'll take off.

Don't forget to bring the flowers over!

No, wait!

How many should I bring?

Hey, please wait!

They don't see me as me...

My reflection looks normal to me, though.

But what do I look like to them?

Maybe Tabith's Loupe will show that to me!

Unseen, unseen, show me the unseen!

No good.

I guess I can't see it myself.

Welcome!

Are you looking for something in particular?

Uh... Um...

What do I look like?

What? Uh... A university student?

Or maybe you're already working.

Around 20?

20? Wow, that's all grown up!

That makes me kind of happy.

Would you like to try something on?

No thanks!

Goodbye!

I'm so happy! I look like an adult!

I wanna see it! I wanna know what kind of adult I'm going to be!

I bet Laluu could show me what everyone thinks I look like!

Magic, magic, come on out!

Shuka shuka!

Why'd you pop out, Pinch?

Shu!

So you recognize me?

Shuka shuka shuka!

Why does everyone else see me as an adult?

Shu shu!

Wait!

Where are you going?

I said wait!

Shu!

Shu shuka!

C'mon, Pinch...

Mom! Mom! Hey, mom!

Mom!

What?

Who might you be?

Mom? You don't recognize me?

Mom? You mean me?

Mom...

See, it's me, Potpourri!

Yes, she'll definitely grow up to be just as lovely as you.

Mom...

No... I've had enough of this...

Hey, are you all right?

Are you feeling bad, or...

Miss Fukiko! Miss Fukiko! Miss Fukiko!

My oh my.

You are Potpourri, aren't you?

Miss Fukiko!

You can't just rub lipstick off.

You need to use lipstick remover. And besides, this is a witch's lipstick.

Witch's lipstick?

Yes. It's a very old item.

And there we go.

You look like yourself again.

I look like me?

Yes!

That's great!

Makeup may be used for looking your best in front of others.

But that's not all it's about. How you look like to yourself in the mirror is important as well.

It's scary to not know what you look like...

That's right. Makeup can change what you look like, but it can't change what's on the inside.

But changing the outside can refresh how you feel on the inside too!

So there's no point if you can't see the change yourself.

Yes. That's why I don't use this lipstick.

Pinch was the only one who could recognize me.

I bet it's because he's magic too.

That's right.

I don't think I'm ready for makeup yet.

I'm still just fine being a kid.

But I wish I could have seen it.

What kind of an adult will I be?

Don't worry. I have no doubt you will grow up to be a lovely lady.

Really?

My memory sure isn't what it used to be.

Just who was that?

hitoribocchi hitotsu wasurerateta ki no mi

A lone fruit, from a forgotten tree.

furikaette futatsu kinou fuita kaze yo

Turn around and there's two, with the wind from yesterday.

mikazuki ni mittsu omoide o uta

Three with the crescent moon, singing of reminiscence.

Fourth is joy, of that small life.

yorokobi o yottsu chiisakatta inochi

One day, it will be told. One day, gently.
