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

Lanterns?

The atmosphere's all different today.

Taiko drums?

Oh yeah! Today is...

Hey there, Potpourri.

What a big drum! It's for the dance tonight, right?

That's no good at all!

People can't dance to such a sloppy rhythm.

"When I was young," eh?

You must've heard this a hundred times.

Again with the disrespect for your elders!

You should come to the dance, Potpourri. There's gonna be a cotton candy stall and everything!

I'll be there for sure!

Miss Fukiko, let's go to the bon dance!

Miss Fukiko!

Yes, yes. Be right out.

Y-Your yukata...

Oh?

Is it a bit too plain?

N-No, not at all.

Let's go, quick!

Yes, yes.

Neat!

The way to the shrine is totally different!

Potpourri!

Natsumi! Good evening!

What a cute yukata.

Yours too!

Potpourri! Over here!

Hurry up, Potpourri!

It's Kurumi and everyone! Let's go, Natsumi!

Who's that?

Natsumi from the electrical store.

Hello!

Great weather this year.

Yes. It's going to be lively.

Amazing!

All right everyone, the bon dance is starting!

Gather up!

If the moon set now, our smiles would be gone

Even cats and dogs, with their owners, all in festive clothes

Ebisu smiles brightly on us here

If the moon comes out, let's give it a smile

Ebisu is with us here in Smiling Ginza

Keep on dancing and our future will be bright

Let's smile in the Smiling Ginza!

This is great!

Yeah!

You both danced very well!

Really? I've never danced this much before!

Please participate in another round of dance, everyone!

All right. Give it your best shot!

You got it.

All right! Once more!

What happened?

What's going on?

It's broken...

Sorry, gramps.

It was pretty old to begin with.

What could it be?

Uh, I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but the drumhead broke.

As such, this year's dance will end here. Thank you for your participation.

Over already. What a shame.

There's always next year.

Bye bye, Potpourri!

Bye bye! See you tomorrow!

Goodnight!

Bye bye!

That was a lot of fun, wasn't it?

Really fun!

Okay, time to go home.

Yeah! Goodnight!

Goodnight!

Ebisu smiles upon us here!

When the moon is out, let's smile widely!

No good this year, apparently.

What?

I was looking forward to it too!

Who was that?

Weird. I thought I heard a voice just now.

How would she hear us?

Shh, shut up!

Who's there? Who's talking?

Okay, let's look with Tabith's Loupe!

Unseen, unseen, make it all seen!

Weird. I still can't see anything.

She should see us, right?

Shh, I said!

Who's there?

The lamppost moved!

See? We got sussed out.

Was that my fault?

The lampposts are talking.

On this day each year, we can speak.

I had no idea!

Thanks for always lighting the roads up at night! Everyone else is grateful too!

You're very welcome.

But why just today?

Because it's the bon festival today.

So why?

That's a lot of why.

We're always just standing here, right?

So with the bon dance we get an excuse to stretch our shoulders a bit.

Oh, I see.

But the drum...

Yeah, that's why our dance was ruined this year.

It's so sad.

I'll do something about it with magic!

Magic?

Oh, right, you must be a witch.

That's why she could hear us!

So it's not my fault!

What are you babbling over there? There's no dance this year, right?

This little witch said she could help us out!

Wow! Really?

Really!

I did say I'd help, but I dunno what to do.

Such a big hole.

But I guess I'll give it a shot!

Magic, magic, come on out!

Kapuchi kapuchi.

Grim, I wanna have a bon dance for the lampposts!

Kapu.

But the drumhead on this taiko drum is broken.

We can't have a bon dance without a taiko drum!

Kapuchi.

Here they are! Help me out, Grim!

Kapuchi!

So you'll be the new drumhead!

Kapu!

The lampposts' bon dance is really pretty!

Thank you, Miss Witch.

We can happily light up the Smiling Ginza for another year!

Miss Witch!

Thank you!

All right, let's get the drum down for repairs.

So sleepy... I couldn't sleep, it felt like the drumming was going on all night.

Don't worry about it, it was going to break sooner or later.

What is it?

What's up with this?

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.
