Thank you for coming to today's performance of the "Kemono Friends Stage Play"!

And we have an important announcement.

You will be able to use your light sticks in the final act of the stage play.

For the timing, please follow the actions of the Friends' light sticks

and cheer on with everyone!

Now, please enjoy yourselves!

When I came to, I was in the middle of the plains.

A place I'm seeing for the first time...

A place that I've known for the longest time...

Where in the world... am I?

And just whatever could I be?

This is Japari Park!

Eh?

JUUUMP!

Around the Savanna Area - that's my turf!

Savanna Area?

Savanna Area

I'm sure that you were born from the Sandstar yesterday, weren't you!

Sandstar?

That's right! They blew out of that mountain yesterday!

It's still all sparkly around there, see?

I remember!

I'm not a horse, nor a giraffe.

My limbs are stripy, but I'm not a zebra...

I'm...

Okapi.

I just knew that you were Okapi!

That's right...

I was zipping around the savanna,

then that mountain erupted and...

Ahh!

Do you know who I am?

The Serval Cat... Serval?

Nice to meet you, Okapi-chan!

Okay, shall we go?

Eh?

I wanna introduce Okapi-chan to everyone!

Do you think I can become friends with everyone?

I do!

After all, all of us are Friends!

Welcome to, welcome to Japari Park!

welcome to youkoso japari paaku

Today's another day of crazy fun and games!

kyou mo dottanbattan oosawagi

Grrr! Roar!

u-! gao-!

If I laugh my heart out loud, we're all Friends!

takarakani warai waraeba furenzu

Friends!

furenzu

Even if we fight and get all messed up, we get along!

kenka shite succhaka mecchaka shitemo nakayoshi

Even if we are critters, there's no one that is critical!

kemono wa itemo nokemono wa inai

The true love lies right inside here!

hontou no ai wa koko ni aru

Hey, let's hold hands and go on a great adventure!

hora kimi mo te o tsunai de dai bouken

One, two, three!

Welcome to, welcome to Japari Park!

welcome to youkoso japari paaku

Today's another day of crazy fun and games!

kyou mo dottanbattan oosawagi

Different strokes for different folks,

sugata katachi mo juunin

so there's one of us that you'll be taken with!

toiro dakara hikareau no

Into the twilight, I softly place my fingers.

yuugure sora ni yubi o sotto kasanetara

It's so nice to meet you!

I want to get to know you much more!

Grrr! Roar!

Lalala lalala! Oh, welcome to the Japari Park!

Lalala lalalalalala! Come together, our friends!

lalalala lalalalalala atsumare tomodachi

lalala lalala oh welcome to the japari park

Lalala lalala! Oh, welcome to the Japari Park!

Lalalala lalalalalala! Off on a wonderful journey!

lalalala lalalalalala suteki na tabidachi

Welcome to the Japari Park!

youkoso japari paaku

Myamyamyamyamya, hahaha, ahahaha!

Wait, Serval-chan!

Where are we going in such a hurry?

It's the Waterfront Area!

Waterfront Area?

Waterfront Area

All the waterfront buddies are there!

I'll introduce you to them, Okapi-chan!

And so, Serval-chan and I came to the Waterfront Area.

Woaaah! There's so many here!

Hey, Serval-chan, do all of them live at the waterfront?

That's right!

That girl's the waterside-dwelling Malayan Tapir-chan!

That girl's the waterside-dwelling Maned Wolf-chan!

That girl's the waterside-dwelling Koala-chan!

Wait, did all of them really live by the waterfront?

Hey, Serval-chan.

Aren't they all gathering here on purpose?

See? Everyone's got something in their hands!

They are! Whatever could that paper be?

Anyone coming to the concert, please line up over here!

Concert?

Concert? What concert?

Ain't that obvious? It's the PPP concert!

PPP?

Amazing! Everyone's come here to see PPP's concert!

Hey, Serval-chan, what's "PPP"?

They're Japari Park's idols!

PPP is so super-popular now,

it's impossible to get your hands on a ticket!

Tickets will be inspected here.

Please note that those without tickets will be refused entry.

- Let's go!

Wait.

Your tickets?

Nada!

Then you won't be seeing the concert!

Whaa? But we came all the way to the Waterfront Area,

and I really wanna see PPP's concert!

I'd like to see it as well...

Where can you get tickets from?

There aren't any tickets left anywhere.

Unless you obtain a ticket illegally, that is...

- Let's get them illegally!

Hold it!

That'd be mighty bad, hear?

Ehh... But how are we gonna see the concert then?

The show will start shortly, so please hurry!

Ah! Mammoth!

Oh, Serval! What's up?

We wanna see the PPP concert, but we don't have tickets...

I'm sorry, but PPP tickets are fiercely contested...

Even though we tried to have as many seats as possible...

And then these jokers were all "Let's get them illegally"!

That's no good!

Not buying your tickets from the venue is bad.

I got it!

Okay! We'll show you to our seats.

You can watch from there today, our treat!

Yay! Thank you!

In exchange, I'll have you help with the next storeroom cleanup, okay?

Wha? By storeroom, you mean the museum's?

Ohhh? So you're fine with not seeing the PPP concert, then...?

Ahh, I got it, I'll help you!

Cleaning up the storeroom is such a pain though... right, Okapi-chan?

Sorry, I have no idea what a storeroom is!

Of course not!

Hey, Serval, could this girl be...

Okapi-chan! She came from yesterday's Sandstar!

Nice to meet you, I'm Okapi.

Nice to meet you too, I'm Mammoth.

Okapi-chan, was it? You're a cutie!

Mammoth is so dependable!

Just ask her if you don't understand anything!

Um, what's the "museum storeroom"?

I investigate lots of things at my museum!

Lots of things?

For example, how would one go about throwing out loud sounds for the PPP concert,

or how one would go about getting the venue all bright!

Mammoth is really incredible!

She's smart and kind...

Just like you'd expect from my inseparable Nee-san.

Nee-san?

When I'm researching at the musuem, she helps me out with a lot of things.

Nice to meet you.

I'm the Savanna's Black Leopard. A pleasure.

Nice to meet you!

But I already know about you, Black Leopard!

And I know all about you!

I was introducing myself to her.

How lovely to meet you, Okapi-chan.

It's my pleasure, Black Leopard-san.

You're so very cute.

I could eat you right up.

Just kidding.

Right! That's OK for now!

Huh?

What's that?

I'm making a friend notebook.

Friend notebook?

Where someone lives, or how they look...

I thought it'd be useful to have everyone in the park's data in one book!

Wow, that's awesome!

Ah! Okapi-chan, you're already in here!

Thank you so much!

That's my Nee-san!

Goin' from the "Sun System" all the way to the "Friend Note"!

"Sun System"?

Here, in Japari Park,

I discovered a mysterious structure that can

change the light of the sun into energy!

And by making use of that structure, we can do this!

Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone! And now, the long-awaited for...

PPP concert shall begin!

It's a month until the Japari Park Anniversary!

Let's keep that in mind and keep on getting pumped up!

Japari Park Anniversary?

Yup! It's a festival that happens once a year!

And now, it's PPP's Special Stage!

Royal Penguin, Princess!

Rockhopper Penguin, Rocker!

Gentoo Penguin, Gen!

Hululu! Humboldt Penguin!

Emperor Penguin, Emperor.

The five of us are...

PPP!

Pa-pa Pi-pu Pe-pe Po-pa-ppoh-pa-pa Pe-pa-pu!

We can't fly up in the sky,

sora wa (sora wa) tobenai kedo (oo-)

but we dream of wonderful wings!

yume no (yume no) tsubasa ga aru (fuu)

That's why we'll...

One of these days, we will go and control the skies!

The time for our journey is now!

Even if my voice may fade away,

I'll keep on singing of my love!

And then we'll...

Sparkle, sparkle, shining out all bright!

Let's go to the ends of the Earth with you!

We can't fly up in sky,

but we dream of wonderful wings!

That's why we'll...

dakara

Drip, drip, work up a great sweat!

POTA POTA asemizu nagashite

Munch, munch, grow up big and strong!

PAKU PAKU ookiku sodatte

One of these days, we will go and control the skies!

itsuka oozora o seisu noda

All-crying, all-laughing, Pop People Party, PPP!

naitari warattari POP PEOPLE PARTY pepapu

I think that was the first time I ever saw PPP.

They're super-cute!

I wanna try being an idol too!

Serval-chan?

It looks like singing songs like that would feel so good!

Now it's time for our special guest to make her appearance.

Guest?

Who could it be?

Maybe it's an Iguana Friend?

That would be out of this world!

Our guest is... her!

Everyone, please gaze upon the ocean yonder!

Ahhh! That sound of a big wave means...

It's Mother!

Her body and heart alike are extraordinarily huge!

Mother Blue Whale!

Everyooone! Long time nooo see!

Mother!

They're calling her "Mother Blue Whale", aren't they?

I wonder why?

Maybe it's because she's so accepting?

She normally lives a carefree life in the ocean,

but she pops in like this sometimes, and takes an interest in everyone.

She's the park's mother!

And now, Mother would like to say a few words.

Everyone, the Anniversary that you've all been dearly waiting for is finally close at hand!

And with the recent eruptions, we have more friends!

I want to make this year's Anniversary even more rousing than last year's!

And so, I thought of a theme for the Anniversary.

The theme is...

A battle!

A battle?!

We form an official rival to PPP

and have ourselves an idol showdown!

An official rival for us?

Who in the world would even become our rivals?

I will now do the unveiling.

PPP's official rival's team name is...

Savanna Girls!

Savanna Girls?

The leader is the Serval Cat, Serval!

What? I'm the leader! Hurray!

Serval-chan, is this okay?

Yep! I've always wanted to be an idol!

Hey, Mother, who are the others?

You decide the members!

Whaa?

You'll be scouting for some marvelous members!

How does that sound?

Yeah! Okay then, the second member is...

Okapi-chan!

Huh?! Me being an idol, that's...

You're perfect for it!

After all, Okapi-chan, your other name is

"The Lady of the Forest"!

We can do it if it's us two! It'll be just fine!

futari nara yareru yo daijoubu

We're the savanna's Super Girls!

watashi tachi sabanna supaa gaaruzu

I watched PPP sing and thought

pepapu no uta mite omotta no

that I wanted to become an idol!

watashi aidoru ni naritai no

If I break out the poses practiced in the savanna,

sabanna shikomi no pouzu kimereba

all the animals will raise the roof! Meow!

kemono tachi minna oosawagi nyan!

Serval-chan's so easy-going. I'm so jealous of that strange confidence.

sabaru-chan wa rakutenka nazo no jishin ga urayamashii

Why's that? Don't you have any?

nande jishin nai no?

As if I could even!

aru wake nai desho

Even though you're so upbeat!

konna ni genki nanoni

It's nothing to do with that!

genki wa kankei nai desho

You a giraffe? Or are you a Zebra? You're neither of those, Okapi!

kirin nano? shimauma nano? docchi demo nai no ga okapi

That halfway-ness of yours is so charming!

chuutohanpa na toko ga miryokuteki

Ahh, I could eat you up!

aa tabechaitai

Don't eat me!

tabenai de

I won't eat you!

tabenai yo

That's because we are

aa datte watashi tachi

so very good friends!

tomodachi dakara

Let's do it, Okapi-chan!

Let's look for members together and sing!

Serval-chan!

We can do it if it's us two!

futari nara yareru yo

It'll be just fine!

daijoubu

We're the Savanna Super Girls!

watashi tachi sabanna supaa gaaruzu

Bravo!

What an interesting development.

You're going down, Savanna Girls!

There's no way we'll lose this!

This'll really get this year's Anniversary pumping!

I wonder which will enthrall the audience?

To the victors, a year's worth of Japari buns will be theirs!

Whoaaa!

Also, the battles do not stop there.

Huh?

One more battle will be unfurled for the Anniversary...

Mammoth-chan! Have a bout with me!

With you, Blue Whale? A bout?

The biiig blue whale and the biiig mammoth.

In the end, who will be the victor?

Ah, no, no.

If it's the size of the heart, it'd be a total victory for you, Mother...

But in a battle of strength, I won't lose.

Whaaat?!

Even if it were a battle of wits, I won't lose!

The park's strongest is I, Mammoth!

I'm the one with strength in the park, Mammoth!

paaku no chikara mochi wa watashi manmosu

Resurrected from a bygone age, a Friend!

inishie ni jidai kara yomigaerishi furenzu

Always so kind, but a terror when mad

itsumo yasashii demo okoru to kowai

A living fossil bearing her massive tusks!

ikita kaseki ga ooki na kiba o muki

I will chase you to the last.

anata o oitsumeru

Even to the savanna's edge.

sabanna no hate made

And if you're wanting to learn, the place for you is Mammoth School!

aa moshi kayou nara erabu gakkou manmosu-kou

Seems like the Anniversary showdown's boiling over again...

- Eh?

These two are always like this when they meet.

Whale and Mammoth...

I think that both of them alike are strong, but...

The one who'll win in a single blow is me!

I'll have the privilege of making you eat those words.

Well then everyone, let's meet again!

Uh... That's a lot to take in, but...

Everyone, let's make it the greatest Anniversary ever!

So let's do our best!

And... break!

Black Leopard, we have to prepare!

Right!

We're not gonna lose!

Dodo-head!

Don't come here ever again, okay!

We'll tell the teacher!

Your mom's a BIG DUM DUM!

PEEEEENG!

What should we do, Serval-chan...

Let's go look for some friends in the Savanna Area for now!

With me, Okapi, and...

Blepard!

The hell is "Blepard"?

And why're ya lumpin' me in with y'all?!

Let's look for some friends together!

Wouldn't it be fine to help them out?

I'll head back to the museum and work on the festival prep.

Prep?

For instance, we have to get the word out about the Anniversary, right?

Even to all the ones not here at the waterside!

Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho...

Kemono Delivery coming through!

Watch your step, pleeease.

Hnggg.... heavy, so heavy...

Heave-hooo! Phew...

It's heavy! I'm at my limit!

I can't walk another step!

You're talking to yourself far too much, Raccoon-san.

I'm not talking to myself!

Just who do you think that I'm even talking to!

Hmmm... Just who could it be, I wonder...

That's...

The one that Raccoon-san relies on...

Isn't it obvious who that is?

Could that possibly be...

Yep, yep, yep, yep!

YOU!

You sure look like you'd be talking with Raccoon-san.

Ehh?

Hey, Raccoon-san, the one you depend on the most is this kid here, right?

You're wrong...

Come on, you need to talk with them more.

Talk with them? About what?

Hmm... if you could get a single wish granted,

what would you ask for, perhaps?

If you could get a single wish granted, what would you want?

W-What...

A handshake, please!

- Huh.

Handshake? Okie-dokie!

Handshake.

Raccoon-san really is popular in the park! Ehehe!

- You sure are.

I guess I have to admit that a little.

Yup.

But they went and used up their once-in-a-lifetime wish.

They sure did. How lucky for them!

Wait, no! The one that Raccoon-san depends on isn't them!

It's Fennec!

Oh, I was thinking that from the very start, Raccoon-san.

And when I take a good look at them, they're just a regular old horse!

You're right! A horse!

Run away before we get kicked!

Righto.

Right, how about we rest over there?

Sounds like a plan!

It really is a heavy one, isn't it.

So heavy...

How much further do we need to carry this anyway?

The delivery point is the lakeshore, right?

That's still a while off, no?

Why's this so dang heavy!

That's because there's a heavy thing in it, right?

What even is in there? Let's take a look!

Stop!

You can't do that, Raccoon-san.

But...

Have some pride. We're not just lugging around things...

We're delivering everyone's smiles!

We sure are. Good job there.

But without knowing what's inside there,

just sitting on my hands like this is just too much...

That's not sitting on your hands,

that's washing them, right?

Okay, let's get moving!

Right!

One, two... lift!

So heavy...

Do your best, Raccoon-san.

Myamyamyamymyamya, hahaha, ahahaha!

Myamyamya, ahahaha!

Myamyamyamymya, hahaha, myamyamya...

- Cool your jets! You're way too fast!

What's wrong? The Savanna Area is still a ways off, isn't it?

Jungle Area

At that time, while heading towards the Savanna Area again,

we were walking in the jungle.

Let's hurry and look for members!

But Blepard doesn't look so good...

I'm done for. Granny's at wit's end here.

Blepard, pull it together!

But if you think about it, it's not like we can't only have girls from the savanna, right?

Wuh?

How's that, Serval-chan?

If they're eager, I'll welcome any friend with open arms!

Let's search around here right away!

Sure!

Wander, wander, wander...

Wander, wander, wander...

Wander, wander, wander...

Wander?

Found you!

- You what?!

Blepard, we've got a favor to ask!

Won't you be in Savanna Girls with us?!

For real?

Yeah!

Hearin' you say that to me all earnestly makes me mighty happy and all, but...

But can I really pull off idol-y stuff?

You sure can!

Haha, really now?

Even if you say that, I've never even thought about it...

I really couldn't...

OK! If you can't do it, that's fine! Thanks anyway!

Bwa?!

Okapi-chan! Let's grab another friend!

No, no, no. Wait!

I didn't mean it like that, hear?

Huh?

I mean, sure, I'm thinkin' all like I can't be doin' idol-y things, yeah?

But if you two were to say "We'd do anything", then...

- You will?!

If y'all can't get anyone else, then sure.

With not wantin' to be an idol myself and all.

If you won't wanna, it's cool! Let's go!

No, no, no! Wait, I say!

Y'all really okay not havin' me?

But you don't want to do it, right?

I wanna!

No, I'm not taking the straight stance of wanting to do it.

It's more that I don't want to, but if I'm taking the stance of you saying "Come on!",

then me going "Guess I have to", then I wanna be an idol!

Serval-chan, you get that?

Not a tiny bit!

No, I mean, if you two were to say that you'd do anything, then...

If you don't wanna, that's fine!

No, really, come on!!

Shoot, I'm at the end of my tether from hunger.

Now that you mention it, I am hungry...

Ain't there any Japari buns around here...?

Hey, what's a "Japari bun"?

When anyone in the park gets hungry,

they eat the Japari buns that Boss brings to them!

Wooow! It's Japari buns!

These are Japari buns?

Hey YO! If you're hungry, chow down yo!

hei YO! onaka ga hettara tabeyou YO!

Japari Bun!

japari man

Goodness! Maxed out!

eiyou! manten!

The taste! Full points!

oishisa! hyakuten!

That little gourmet kid gives it all 3 stars!

gurume na ano ko mo hoshi mitsu

Delish! Way too delicious, this taste!

oishii oishisugiru kono umasa

Scary! Way too scary, this taste!

kowai kowasugiru kono umasa

Too delish. Too scary. Manjuu are scary!

Yes, just one taste will make you addicted, it's so scary!

You can't quit, you can't stop!

Hey, all these manjuu!

Japari Buns are very very delicious!

japari man izu beri beri derishasu

Everybody!

Ma-n-juu!

Yeah!

On this island, mysteries abound, don't they!

kono shima ni wa fushigi ga ippai da ne

I wonder why it is that not a word escapes Boss' lips?

bosu wa doushite konna ni mukuchi nandarou

But anyway, everyone fill your face! Japari Bun!

sore yori minna de tabeyou yo japari man

Time to dig in!

itadakimasu!

You got it!

Aaaaah!

A-yoink!

Woah!

This delicious-looking Japari Bun... Nom!

Since you were taking your sweet time, I ate before you.

But this is a lifesaver.

With all my running around the park, I've gotten famished...

You're...

The one with pride in her fleet feet: the Savanna's Cheetah!

Nice to meet you, Cheetah-san! I'm Okapi.

Okapi-chan and Serval-chan?

I heard it through the grapevine,

that you're gathering up savanna gals to have yourself an idol group, right?

Her feet ain't the only fast thing about her!

Why, who could it be there but Black Leopard!

Long time no see, Cheetah.

Oho? Could it possibly be that you're joined up with these idols of the savanna?

- Hmm?

Nah, it's not like I really want to or anything, y'know?

If you don't wanna do it that much, you don't have to, Blepard. Right?

O-Oh, oh!

I know, Cheetah! Won't you do it with us?

Eh? Me?

Yeah! How 'bout it?

I'm sure she's got the reflexes for it!

Well, you're talking about something pretty interesting there, but...

Sorry, it's not possible.

Ehhh? But why?

There's so many packages that have to be moved on the double,

I don't have the time to rest!

Oh yeah, Cheetah's doin' that whole "Leader of Japari Express" thing, yeah?

Japari Express?

Getting everyone's packages where they need to be faster than anyone! The talk of the town!

Amaaazing! What kind of packages are they?

Like precious presents or mementos and such.

And lately, transporting a whole lot of junk that's fallen around here.

And by around here, you mean the jungle.

And by jungle, you mean the Amazon.

So Cheetah's been delivering a whole bunch of Amazon packages then!

It's really tough! There's way too many packages!

I've been getting a whole load of girls to help out and all,

but some of them are kinda...

It's heavy!

I'm at my limit!

I can't carry it another step!

Don't complain, Raccoon-san.

The delivery point at the lake is just a little further, no?

Not.. even one... more step!

Whoa.

This box is just full of the hooves of that Horse-san from before.

I can't carry it anymore!

Well, it's probably not that in there, right?

There should be something carrot-like that I can hang in front of Raccoon-san's nose...

Ahh! It's some Japari buns!

We gotta chase after him fast!

Over there!

You can do it you try, can't you, Raccoon-san!

So with Japari Express being so busy, it's a no-go for you, Cheetah?

I'm really sorry about it, but if you look around here,

you'd find a girl way more perfectly suited for being an idol than me, you know?

Like say, White Tiger?

White Tiger?

Well, I say that, but while I've never actually seen a white tiger around,

if there were one, I think she'd be totally kick-ass.

Hot damn, that sounds great!

Wait, this isn't the time to lounge around!

Well then, I've still got deliveries to go, so I'll make my excuses, okay?

Do your best! See'ya!

Thanks!

What should we do, Serval-chan?

Let's go look for her!

White Tiger... might've been born from yesterday's Sandstar!

Oh, come on. That's a coincidence too far, yeah?

If by chance White Tiger is out there...

I wonder what kind of girl would be?

E-Erm, I'm so sorry for interrupting your conversation!

Who are you?

I'm Tanuki.

Tanuki?

What's a Tanuki?

I had something to ask of you all... so I came all this way!

What is it...?

You don't mean...

Please... let me be a member of Savanna Girls!

Really?!

Of course! With open arms!

You mean it?

Hurray! With the three of us, we'll be able to pull it off somehow!

So idol-like!

Eh?

What's the deal with that?!

Hold your horses!

Y'all just gonna let her in like that?

Sure am! Why?

No, what the heck is a Tanuki?

You got no clue, do you?

Eh? But she's cute, that's good!

When you bop there, she gets all cute!

Then, what'll happen to me?

You?

I mean, just before...

You were all goin' "You're a member of Savanna Girls too", weren't you?

- No, I didn't!

- You damn well did!!

- But you said you didn't want to, right!

- No, but if you said that you'd do anything...

- It's fine! Don't push yourself!

- Because we've got Tanuki-chan here!

So you can do that too!

So you can do that too!!

So you can do that too!!!

Oh, I see.

Well then, I've got some words for you, Tanuki-chan.

You...

cannot be a member of Savanna Girls!

But why?

While you two can be all "whatever",

we're supposed to be collecting savanna girls for Savanna Girls, right?

So on that note, as you have no savanna-ness to you, I must refuse!

Ahhhh!

She clonked out...

This is that "Playing Tanuki" dealie, isn't it!

I can't drink any mooore!

But you're not drinking anything!

Ah, but, "Playing Tanuki" doesn't really mean she's actually asleep, right?

Wakey-wakey!

I'm sorry! There really is just no way for me to be an idol, is there!

No. Way.

I'm so sorrrrry!!

Wait!

Even though you could do that too!!

Why did you have to go and say that for?!

Buuut!

And it finally looked like we got a member and everything!

No, but, I think you gotta be true to yourself when pickin' members, see?

Ah!

Why don't we pull ourselves together and head over the museum now?

Museum?

What would we go to the museum for?

If there really is a white tiger about, we can go and ask Nee-san, can't we!

What do you think?

What do I think?

Now that it's sorted, let's go!

Let's go, go, go!

Lake shore

The lake's surface was perfectly still as far as the eye could see.

But being wrapped in silence could only make me aware of my own heart's disquiet.

It'll be all right. We're us.

Emperor...

No matter what happens, we won't lose to a rival.

That why we've come all this way, isn't it?

Our goal is to make PPP even bigger,

so we're having a training camp at Japari Park's lake.

Yaaay! Camping with everyone sure is a blast!

This is what they call "youth", isn't it!

Hululu wants to have a pillow fight. A pillow fight.

Whoaa! Pillow fight! Yay! Pillow fight! Yeah! Pillow fight!

Girls! Playtime is now over.

For the Anniversary, I'll be having you do the program from hell!

Program from hell?

What we lack is expressiveness in our dances and elegance in our bodies!

And perfectly coordinated teamwork!

And to that end, this girl here shall be fixing us from the ground up!

Whoooa! She's so coool!

Good day.

I am the brilliantly dancing, lakeside-loving queen...

Greater Flamingo!

Dahlings, if you wish to become Japari Park's top idols,

then you must dance with more grace!

Greater Flamingo-san, please train us from square one!

Please!

Fabulous. Well then,

I shall proceed without reserve!

Inside this heart of mine, there lies a single bright red roooose!

kono mune no ichirin no akai bara

Burn bright, seething flames of passiooon!

moyasou jounetsu no honoo de

And turn!

Turn!

Pose!

Jump!

The most fabulous member of PPP is...

Princess!

Rocker!

Gen!

Hululu!

Emperor!

The most scariest member of PPP is...

Princess!

You five need to match your breathing! Be more intense! And even more graceful!

Ma'am!

Okay then, let's say some even more paaasionate words, shall we!

Then, today's subject is:

"I couldn't say this until now -

The cries of my passionate heart!"

Come, show us how it's done, Princess!

During day two's afternoon performance, Rocker and Hululu flubbed their entraaance!

OH MY GOD! That's no good!

Right-o! It's the tomboy, Rocker!

Why does PPP has so many damn adlibs?!

I can't even make a comeback!

Next! Yes, it's the graceful Gen!

Flamingo-sensei! The dressing room's a mess!

Don't just say that! Detention for you!

Okay! Roll up, My-Pace champ, Hululu!

"Humboldt Penguin" is really hard to saaaaay!!

Is now the time?

Okay, lucky last! End it with a bang, Emperor!

Sorry for not being in a high-leeeeeg!!

Put more feeling in!

If you want to beat your rivals, give it all you've got!

Be wild and intense, be ever more bold!

motto hageshiku motto daitan ni

We want to make you crazy about us.

anata o muchuu ni sasetai

We are Penguin Performance Project - PPP!

We are Penguin Performance Project pepapu!

Yes, yes, yes. That's quite enough.

You three: Rocker, Gen, Hululu!

Can't you do something about that pathetic waddling of yours?

Keep with the rhythm more! When you dance, do it with grace!

Got that?

Got it.

Right, take five. I, too, shall have myself a respite.

Sensei, you're not looking calm there, though!

Won't she get tired if she's sleeping upright?

Ah! She's fluttery like a flame!

She is a flamingo, after all!

Ehh?

Ah, she changed legs.

Ehhhhh?!

Putting that aside, are we going to be okay, Princess?

What?

It's our dance!

Honestly, we're just got two left feet.

We can't dance gracefully at all...

What should we do?

With the way our dance is, our rivals, the Savanna Girls, will snatch all of our fans away!

Whaa?

It's okay! I've got a secret plan!

What secret plan?

It's a new song!

New song?!

We'll bust out a new PPP song at the Anniversary and hit them with impact!

That does mean we'll have to work even harder on our dance...

It'll be fine! If we practice from now on, we'll make it in time!

That's our Princess-san!

But how do we get a new song ready?

How do you even get a "song" ready in the first place?

The preparations are already complete.

To tell the truth, I secretly went and looked up all sorts of things at the museum.

And then, Mammoth told me something.

"In the museum's storeroom, there's a mysterious noise-maker box", she said.

Mysterious noise-maker box?

And now, I finally have my hands on said box!

Whooaaa! Where's that box at?!

Calm down!

So it'd come in time for this camp, I asked for it to be sent by Japari Express!

Japari Express?!

Ding-dooong!

Someone's here!

Delivery from the Amazon Area!

It's here! Hurray!

Raccoon-san is even more popular than she imaghlf-

Whoaa?!

The package was the more popular one, eh?

Ooooh!

Is this the mysterious box?

So something like that was in there.

That's why it was so heavy, then!

Princess, do you know what kind of music comes out of the box?

No, not yet...

Let's listen to it now!

But I don't got any idea how you can even listen to it...

Leave it to me!

It's going all "buzz-buzz", is it not?

But you can't really call that music, can you?

That's strange...

The hell is with thiiis?!

You're way too rough!

Hey, pack mules! Take this crap back to the museum!

Whaaa?!

Go change it for one that freakin' works!

No, don't make me take it all the way back-

Move it! Go!

Got iiit!

You too! Move it!

You damn non-flyer!

You can't fly either, dammit!

Girls, now's the chance to make our escape.

Right!

Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe.

- Stop right there.

- Gulp!

And just where would you be going?

Well...

Ah, the three of them were hungry, so for a bite to eat... right?

Weren't you on a diet? You wanted to dance better, right?

There's no way that you're eating a damn Japari buuun!!

- Waaaah!!

I'm going to have to tell our manager about this...

Margay's going to be huffing, isn't she?

Ah, I thought that very same thing before.

Man, Princess sure has it tough...

But I really thought we'd be able to hear a new song. It's such a shame.

Ahh, I'm so hungry...

Even though I said I'm on a diet...

What's with that Japari bun...

Huh? Why's it so big like that?

Time to eaaat!

- Wait!

That's way, waaay too suspicious!

Just look at it! That Japari bun is squirming around!

That's a trap, innit!

Trap?

Hang on, that's no Japari bun. It's Tanuki!

Tanununununununu...

No helping it if I've been found out! Hup!

Wooow!

Rocker-san, it's been too long!

I've...

I've...

had my dream destroyed!

What happened, Tanuki-chin!

Rocker-san, is she your friend?

This is Tanuki! She's great at transforming!

She gets found out right away though.

Tanuki!

I'm the idol-loving Tanuki.

See, this girl's always coming along to PPP concerts,

and heard all about the formation of Savanna Girls.

I thought that it was my one and only chance to become an idol,

so I went to interview with them directly.

But then...

You weren't able to become a member, right?

They said that I had no "savanna-ness"

and I got turned down!

I see... but, well, there's no helping that, is there?

But what does savanna-ness even feel like?

I secretly eavesdropped while they were all talking,

and there were on about getting a member like "White Tiger" or something...

Ah...

That does have a Savanna-ness feel to it.

But in the end, all I am is the zero-savanna-ness Tanuki!

Take care of yourself better, okay?

If you're good at transforming,

how 'bout you just turn yourself into White Tiger?

Whoa! You could!

No, I couldn't possibly!

But why?

I can't turn myself into things that I've never seen.

And I've never seen White Tiger, so...

I see...

Come now, your break time is almost over!

Aw crap, we gotta get moving!

Sorry, Tanuki-san, we have to go!

I'm looking forward to the Anniversary!

Tanuki-chan, do you best too, 'kay?

Yes!

See'ya!

But, since there are people who won't even let girls like Tanuki-chin become idols...

We gotta work even harder!

We can't be throwing out complaints, can we!

Let's do our bestest!

Yeah!

An idol like PPP...

I wish I could...

Who's there?!

It's Raccoon-san, Tanupon!

I'm not Tanupon, I'm Tanuki!

Waaahhhh!

- What's the matter?

Since Tanupon can't be an idol,

Raccoon-san is crying in sympathy!

- Ehhh?!

We have heard your pleas, Tanupunch-kun!

I'm not Tanupunch, I'm Tanuki!

But it's all right. You have us!

With the things that we can do,

the sky's the limit!

But I don't think we'll be able to do much here...

But! For Tanupon's sake,

there's one thing we can do!

What is it?

You want to become an idol, right?

Off we go then! Together! To the Museum!

Museum?

Museum

Ahh! They say there's all sorts of stuff here!

Welcome to the Japari Museum!

In this world of ours, there are so many things

watashi tachi no kono sekai wa

that we don't know a single thing about.

wakaranai koto darake

If there is something you want to know, come to the Japari Museum!

shiritai koto ga attara oide japari hakubutsukan

The forest of knowledge - everyone dive right on in now!

chishiki no mori ni ima minna de tobikomou

So you can follow along the footprints that others left behind.

dareka ga nokoshita ashiato tadoru you ni

Yes! When you want to know about something, head to the museum!

We'll research all the museum's materials together!

So you can take your time studying, even if it's in the dead of night...

We've got this dealie here!

Wow! It's all bright now! Amaaazing!

With the Sun's collected daytime energy,

you can use it to do things like this!

With all this, Savanna Girls can practice even into the night!

Oh yes, that right!

I looked up a whole bunch of stuff on idols at the museum, see...

My research shows that you need...

1: Unique members

2: Wonderful music

And 3: Original costumes!

We don't even have all our members.

There's so much we have to do!

Oh, you still haven't gotten your members yet?

That reminds me, Nee-san,

is there a White Tiger Friend around?

I don't know about right now, but the record states that there was a girl like that around.

I've got the info on that in here.

Well shoot, she ain't here?

Now then! Mammoth-san, we've got something to ask of you...

What could that be?

Won't you be in Savanna Girls with us?

Who, me?

Yeah!

No, while I'm happy that you even asked me...

Could I even really pull off being an idol?

You can!

I really couldn't, could I...?

Got it! If you can't do it, that's fine! Thanks!

- Serval-chan?

Ah, but! If the two of you said that you'd do anything...

- You will?!

Well, it's not like I want to or anyth-

If you don't wanna do it, that's fine! Let's go!

Eh? Hold it!

But you don't want to, right?

Erm...

How about it?

It's fine! We'll look for someone else!

Serval-chan...

Nee-san, if there's somethin' you wanna say, just say it!

Buuut...

Ah, that's right!

There's a thing I want to show you down in the storehouse, Okapi-chan!

Eh, really?

There's a storeroom downstairs, see!

Let's all go, shall we?

Over here!

Yes? Who is it?

Hello there!

It's the Japari Express helper, Raccoon-san!

Raccoon-san and Fennec!

What are you doing here at this hour?

The item that we delivered the other day got sent back, you see?

Isn't that the noise-maker box that Princess was after?

What happened?

Since nobody could get it to make noise, they were troubled!

That's strange. Maybe there's a part missing?

They told us to bring it back once it's fixed!

I got it. I'll just pop downstairs to look for parts, okay?

Tanupon! Tanupon!

Woow! So this is the... museum?

Hmmm...

Hmmm....

Ah!

Raccoon-san, that there!

The Friend Note.

Here!

Okay.

There it is. Right here.

Is that... White Tiger?

Light's on, y'all.

Hup!

Woah... in this nice, cool basement...

It was waiting for me...

Somehow, a perfect likeness of my appearance was...

That looks just like you, doesn't it, Okapi-chan?

What could it be?

I wonder... I don't have a clue...

Okapi-chan, isn't that proof that you're destined to be an idol?

What?

I mean, because there's a splitting image of you

down here in the storehouse, Okapi-chan!

Okapi-chan, you really are destined to be an idol, aren't you!

Destined idol...

But I honestly don't have any confidence in myself...

Why's that?

I mean, it's not like I can dance like PPP,

or even sing very well...

For someone like me to be an idol is...

But if this is you, Okapi-chan,

then it really does have an idol feeling to it!

What's this?

That there's a hot spring sign.

Hot spring?

A hot spring is a place with warm water where you'll feel good if you get in it.

And they're way up there in the snowfields, apparently.

What's this?!

That's.... What is that?

Looks like we can hook it up to the Sun System!

H-Huh?

Nothing's happening at all, is it?

Could that be...?

That looks like a white tiger cub, doesn't it!

She's so cute!

She really has the feeling of a "park idol" too, doesn't she...

Yes, I was the park's idol.

Way back then.

And... even now!

And... even now!

Nice to meet you all.

I was born from the Sandstar the other day.

I'm W-h-i-t-e Tiger.

I'm W-h-i-t-e Tiger.

I'm W-h-i-t-e Tiger.

I'm W-h-i-t-e Tiger.

I'm W-h-i-t-e Tiger.

Yes, this is a miracle. A bright white miracle!

sou kore ga kiseki shiroi kiseki

Pure white snow falls to the ground in the savanna!

Oh! Yes! I am White Tiger! gao-!

Everyone asks why I'm so whiiite!

So coool!

You think?

She's kinda tense, isn't she?

It's not like that!

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!

You gotta have more confidence!

But I don't really know how she acts...

All you have to do is pull out something cool, and fast.

Something cool?

Yeah! What's your favorite phrase?

My favorite phrase...

Apple Pen.

So coool!

That's totally the "King of the Savanna" there!

Tiger-san, did Raccoon-san and Fennec bring you here?

Ah!

Weeeeell....

We sure did! We just kind of bumped into her over there...

Is that so!

Well, White Tiger-san! With you here, we can be at ease!

For you see, we actually have a growing Cerulean problem around here.

Eh?

Cerulean?

Ah... Perhaps you're not aware of them yet?

They're here, in the park!

They're a threat to our very existence!

That sound! Could it be...

No mistake! It's the Ceruleans!

Serval-chan!

Okapi-chan, run over here!

I'll draw their attention,

then you take them out, Tiger-san!

That's... impossible!

That's... impossible!

Why?!

Isn't that just obvious?

Because they're scary.

Hey, this ain't the place to be playin' around!

I'm sorry, but I'm actually...

not White Tiger!

Wha?!

I'm just the feeble Tanuki!

Ka-pow!

Whaaa?! Tanuki-chan?!

I'm sorry, but I can't deal with Ceruleans at all!

Run!

Tanuki-chan!

She's playin' Tanuki agaaain?!

Doh!

Okay! Everyone, take them down!

Serval, Black Leopard, let's go!

Okay! We'll do it too!

Charging complete.

Charging complete.

Charging complete.

Now!

Okaaay!

Myamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamyamya!

Mya!

Hurray! We took down the Ceruleans!

This weird dealie here really saved our bacon!

And it's gotten all shiny around here too!

Okapi-chan, are you okay? That's the first time you saw Ceruleans, right?

Thanks for saving me, Serval-chan! You were so cool!

Well then.

Let's move on to you, Tanuki-chan.

What were you trying to pull, pretending to be White Tiger like that?

Explain yourself!

I'm so sorry.

I just wanted to be an idol, no matter what...

Huh?

But even though I pleaded "Please let me join Savanna Girls",

they said that I couldn't do it since I wasn't from the savanna...

Tanuki-chan...

Raccoon-san is a bad girl as well!

Raccoon-san and I told Tanupunch

to transform into a savanna friend.

So we looked at the Friend Note,

and said that if she turned into White Tiger, then...

So...

We're sorry!

No... When it comes down to it, I'm the worst there is.

After all, the one that was against Tanuki joining the Savanna Girls was me.

I'm right sorry.

Why did you even do that for?

I'm gonna say the straight truth.

I wanna be an idol miiighty bad!

But I was mistakenly thinkin' that if Tanuki got in, then I wouldn't be able to.

Wha?! Then you should've said you wanted to from the start!

No, I planned on doin' that, but...

Then I'm the same as you, Black Leopard!

Nee-san?

I, too, really want to be an idol...

When I was making notes earlier, I kinda wanted to try being an idol...

I really, really want to be one!

So I'm very sorry!

Ahh! I've thought of a good idea!

Huh?

Come on, let's all be Savanna Girls!

Me, Okapi-chan, Mammoth-neesan, Blepard and Tanuki-chan!

How about the five of us be idols?

Serval!

I'm not from the savanna... Is that okay?

Of course it's fine!

Let's all work together!

Tanu-saemon!

It's Tanuki!

Then I have to apologize too!

All that stuff about not having self-confidence...

I won't say it anymore!

After all, I'm not alone.

Because I have such wonderful friends with me!

Okapi-chan!

Let's all do our best, as the Savanna Girls!

Yeah!

Okay then, we're gonna get back to our work!

Work?

Seems like this box we have here lacks some parts to make noise come out of it.

What will you even do with the sound from the box?

That's to do with PPP's secret plan, so I'm not gonna saaay!

PPP's secret plan?

A secret plan is a plan that is secret, yeah!

What secret plan?

I'm glad you asked!

I think that PPP wants to debut a new song at the Anniversary!

So they're looking to find a new song from inside this noise-maker box!

Raccoon-san, you just blurted out all the secrets, didn't you?

- Huh?

Ahhh! That was secret-y stuff!

Please don't tell anyone else!

I know! Let's all look for that noise-maker part!

Serval-chan... let's do it!

Eh? But why?

After all, if they can't get noise to come out of the box, PPP will be in a bind, no?

They won't be able to bust out a new song, will they?

For all of PPP's sake, let's all join forces and search!

Yeah!

But... is this okay?

The PPP girls are our rivals, right...

Of course it is!

Because even our rivals, PPP, are our friends!

Friends...?

The wind blows through the savanna.

sabanna ni kaze ga fuki

I climb up the trees all by myself.

watashi wa hitori de ki ni noboru

Up in the trees, thoughts comes to me...

Is that girl from back then doing well?

From the very first time that we ever met,

mysterious feelings have welled up in me.

We're not alone, oh no!

Oh-so-many feelings - let's share them all with

ironna kimochi wakeaou

all of us!

minna de

And so, for the sake of our rivals, PPP,

we continued to search for the noise-maker box parts.

Doesn't really feel like those parts are here, does it?

Maybe there's something over thisaway?

Ah! Just maybe...

If we head over to my nest, there might be something there!

Nest?

I've collected all kinds of stuff that got lost in the park,

and made a great big pile!

Woah, there's so many lost things, isn't there!

Feels like we might hit the jackpot here!

Ahh! These silvery round things!

Isn't it these?

These square boxes.... Ain't these the ones?

Aha! This!

This'd go into that box, right?

That's the one!

This should make noise come out!

There's so many of those square things!

Raccoon-san will take both the big and small boxes,

and carry them back to PPP!

You sure are in high spirits, Raccoon-san.

For PPP's secret plan, it's easy as pie!

Right then, we'll be doing the delivery!

Safe travels!

Dang, it's so good that we found them!

It's great that we'll be making PPP happy, isn't it!

I want them to find a good song from that box,

and become the number one idols!

Serval!

We're the ones aiming to be idols, right?

Then I want Savanna Girls and PPP to become the number one idols!

Oh, what are you saying!

Right then! Let's go have a Savanna Girls strategy meeting at the museum!

Yeaaah!

Museum

Lakeshore

And so, Raccoon-san and I ran with all our might.

With all the coming and going, our legs got abnormally pumped,

so you can't even compare our speed to the first time.

And we've arrived at the lake!

One, twooo!

Delivery for you!

The sound's coming out all properly this time!

Thank goodness!

Thank you! But how?

Actually, everyone in Savanna Girls

looked for the parts with all their might!

Huh?

So that PPP's secret plan could come to fruition,

they wanted to help out in any way they could.

Those savanna girls... they're so kind.

Thank you, Savanna Girls!

Now then, all that remains is practice!

What we should do about the new song... Princess, I'll leave the choice to you!

Everyone, lesson time!

Ma'am!

Raccoon-san, thank goodness.

We were able to deliver everyone's smiles. That's great!

Five, six, seven, eight...

Yes, yes, yes!

Rocker, Gen, even you, Hululu... Looking good!

Thank you!

Great Flamingo-san, thank you so much.

It's all thanks to your teachings that everyone has been able to come so far.

That's the fruits of everyone's labors.

But... having friends... is a lovely thing.

Eh?

Dancing with those that are near and dear to you...

That feel when you twirl around, all in sync...

It's just the best!

Ah... but of course there are times that you get scolded by your senpai...

Sometimes even fights... There are plenty of tribulations.

Even so... when compared to being alone, having friends... is a blessing, is it not?

Ah! When you pick the new song, tell me, okay?

I'll think up the choreography! Ciao!

But ya'know, I wanna pay Savanna Girls back for their help, yeah?

Even though they're our biggest rival, they lent us their strength, right!

They lent us their strength, right?

They lent it to us, right?

Don't you give up now.

But... it's just so strange, isn't it?

What is?

That box that Princess got...

What in the world was it even for in the first place?

Huh?

Making it all bright with the power of Mr. Sun,

I wonder just who would make something like that?

I've never really thought about that...

For sure. But now that you've mentioned it, I do wonder who...

I got it! It's an Iguana Friend, right?

Damn, they're hot stuff!

Hey, Princess... Does it look like there's a good song there?

I wonder? I need to listen to them all to start with...

Sure enough... with this much, it'll never end...

Okay, next up is this one, right?

Yeah.

This part here...

P-Princess? Princess, what are you up to?

Princess? You okay?

Princess? Princess? Princess?!

What?

Nothing.

This part here...

Good... Good...

- Princess?

- Good, good, good, good, good.

- Good? That's not good! Not good at all.

- Good, good, good-good-good.

- Princ... don't do it to a beat, Princess.

- Goodgoodgoodgoodgood.

- Princess? Can you hear me?

- Princess? Calm down, Pri-

Really, what?!

Sorry! It's nothing!

This part here...

Ehhh?

Princess? That's not it...

Princess? Can you hear me?

Princess? Princess? Hey, listen! Pri-

This part...!

HOW THE HELL DOES IT GO IIIN?!

- PRINCEEESS!!

But now I'm all worried over the Savanna Girls this time!

What's the matter, Raccoon-san?

I mean, all they were doing was fretting over PPP...

If you think about it, they don't even have a single song for themselves!

That's right.

Us Savanna Girls have gotten into dire straits without us even noticing!

Yaaay! What should we do!

They look like they're having a blast, but I do wonder what they'll do...

Gununu... If it's come to this, Raccoon-san will just have to make them a song!

That's not going to happen, is it, Raccoon-san.

Someone's coming!

Why didn't you stop me?

And you're too slow!

Boss Cheetah!

- Boss?

What are you doing, lazing around again?

Stop daydreaming and get those packages delivered!

Nooo, that's not what I was doing!

Eh?

So they won't lose to PPP's new song, we're looking for Savanna Girls' debut song.

Boss, are there any good songs anywhere?

Good songs, eh?

Ah. I do know of one, yes.

Museum

A place where you can hear nice music?

Is there really a place like that?

Boss Cheetah said so! On that mountain's plateau!

She said there's a mysterious place where music plays!

A mysterious place where music plays?

Yep!

Wait, that mountain even has a plateau?

Let's give it a shot!

Right, you head out, Serval and Okapi-chan!

We've still got things to do at the museum, see!

Muscle training for the showdown, eh, Nee-san?

Muscle training?

To prepare for the showdown with Mother Whale,

she puts everything into her training!

Yesterday, she even hung a heavy thing off her nose...

- Aaah! You don't have to tell everyone!

Okay, Okapi-chan and I are gonna head off to the plateau!

Take care, okay!

We're off!

Then, we're going to get on with the delivery!

Yep.

Have a safe trip!

Then, we'll be doing...

What should we do?

Muscle trainin'.

Muscle training?

I'm sorry!

Huh?

There's a reason I wanted it to be just the two of you.

The truth is, I got a report from a Hunter not long ago...

Hunter...?

Excuse my intrusion.

The protector of the park's safety and peace, Sabre Tiger.

Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary in this area?

Look at the mountain's summit.

The wind is blowing black.

There might be trouble brewing.

Just in case, we must be vigilant.

If there's something that we can do, we'll assist in any way we can...

I gratefully accept.

It's over here.

It'd be for the best if nothing did happen, though...

Plateau

And so, we made our way to the rumored plateau.

That big thing standing there... I've never seen that before.

What could such a big thing be?

I wonder...

Cheetah-san was saying that she heard music every day in the evening, but...

Ahh! I can hear it now!

It's such kind, wonderful music, isn't it?

Sure is!

But where are we even hearing it from?

Isn't it coming from up there...?

This is Japari Park's 5 PM announcement.

That voice... who is it?

This is the first time I've heard it!

Well then everyone, let's all meet again soon!

It's over?

Just what was that voice saying?

Hey, you guys! What are you up to?!

I'm the Serval Cat, Serval! I'm from the Savanna Area!

This here is Okapi-chan!

Hello! Where would you be from?

Shaddap! Get lost! This here is my turf!

We're the group "Savanna Girls", see!

And we'd love it if you could maybe let us use that song that was playing just now?

No! No way! No freakin' way!

The music playing just now, that voice speaking just now...

The whole lot is mine, all mine!

Get out of my sight!

So, y'all got yourselves kicked out, then?

There's no mistake.

Based on her characteristics, she must be Sheep.

Sheep?

Baa ba-baa ba-baaa baaa baaaa

mee mee mee me mee mee mee

Baa ba-baaaaaa baaaa baaa

mee me mee mee mee

Come to think of it, I've heard some rumors.

In a mountain hut on a plateau, not interacting with anyone,

frittering away the time knitting things alone...

She'd get so lonely being by herself, wouldn't she...

But this is a pickle... As it stands, us Savanna Girls' song count is a big fat zero, yeah?

If we ask Sheep really nicely, maybe she'll let us use the song?

But she's just so stubborn...

Ahh! I might possibly know about that Sheep-san!

Huh?

Sheep-san's likely a PPP fan. I've spotted her at PPP concerts.

So if it's all of PPP, they just might be able to persuade Sheep-san!

CHEEETAAAAAHHH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

CHEEETAAAAAHHH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

CHEEETAAAAAHHH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

CHEEETAAAAAHHH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

CHEEETAAAAAHHH EXPRESS DELIVERY!

And on that very night, a flustered Cheetah-riding Tanuki came to us.

Tanuki-chan!

Princess-san! Please lend us your strength!

And thus, I heard all about the troubles facing the Savanna Girls, and Sheep that lives on the plateau.

There's no mistake. I do think Sheep-chan is one of our fans.

I think she might've visited our training camp before.

So, if we could have you talk to her, Princess, then...

Leave it to me! As thanks for Savanna Girls saving us, I'll put everything I have into it!

It's in your hands!

From there, when we were doing our usual rehearsal...

Ready, and...

Pa-pa Pi-pu Pe-pe Po-pa-ppoh-pa-pa Pe-pa-pu!

I'm sure of it. It's that girl, isn't it.

Okay! We'll stop there for today! Done for the day!

Good work, everyone!

Yeaaah! Back to our room!

Let's go back and practice our dancing!

Ehhh, I'd rather go back and tell scary stories!

Nope! Let's go back and play pro wrestling!

Rainmaker! It's raining Japari Coins!

What even was that?

Nothing in particular.

Ehhh?

Huh? Princess, you're not heading back?

Yeah, I have to pick our new song, after all.

Oh right. Keep up the good work.

Good evening!

Can you help me pick one out?

Eh?

You're that fan that's always coming around, right?

Yes, I'm Sheep.

I'm right in the middle of picking the new song for the Anniversary, see...

To be able to pick such an important song with Princess-san...!

It's like a baaa-utiful dream!

I'm picking them from out of these, but...

What is that?

Wow, that's amazing!

These all have songs on them, don't they!

All of these... Savanna Girls gave them to us.

Just for PPP's sake.

Huh?

Even though they're rivals... It's weird, right?

But I love that part of everyone in Savanna Girls.

After all, everyone in the park... We're all friends, aren't we!

Yes, we are...

So I beg you!

Don't keep that music that plays near your house to yourself.

I want you to let Savanna Girls sing it too!

That song is my precious, precious, oh-so-precious song!

But if you're going to insist, Princess-san...

Okay!

Thank you! I'm so glad!

No, I'm the one who should be thankful!

Okay! Let's look for a song together!

But I had no idea that there was a place on the plateau where nice songs were played...

It's not just a song! There's some kind of unknown voice too...

That voice is so kind,

it's just so lovely!

What kind of voice could it be? I'd love to hear it...

Right then, you can choose the next one, okay?

Let's see...

This one!

I finally figured it out!

You put it in.... like that!

Okay, let's begin!

This is Japari Park Radio.

That's the voice!

That girl's voice! I've heard it on the plateau!

It's fine! Because everyone is here!

Who's voice could it be...?

Okay then! To start off, please enjoy our song!

Welcome to, welcome to, Japari Park!

welcome to youkoso japari paaku

A song's playing!

Today's another day of crazy fun and games!

kyou mo dottanbattan oosawagi

Such lovely singing voices!

Different strokes for different folks,

sugata katachi mo juunin

so there's one of us that you'll be taken with!

toiro dakara hikareau no

Hey, how about we look into who these voices are at the museum?

I became a member of Savanna Girls,

but a thought came to me.

What even is an idol to begin with?

Being in front of everyone, singing and dancing in cute costumes...

What even is that?

A fun thing like that...

Who in the world even thought that up in the first place?

The person that thought all that up...

I'd love to become their friend!

This...

It's entirely possible that this is a Human's voice.

Human?

I heard about it from Blue Whale-san.

That in the past, there were animals called "Humans" in this park...

So maybe, the Sun System,

and this noise-maker box were made by those...

...Humans. Yes, it's possible.

Wow... that's amazing!

But those singing voices are so gentle, honest,

and just so wonderful!

I wanna learn more about these Humans...

I wanna hear more of these voices...

You have been listening to Japari Park Radio.

Oh, that's right! Today is the anniversary of the park's opening.

But to tell the truth, we've got an important announcement to make here.

The four of us rookie Japari Park keepers

will be performing as the park's idols from now on!

Yaaay!

All of their voices sound so happy.

They seem like they're having fun!

At that time, I had a thought.

I'm just sure that those girls were idols too!

I want us...

to become idols just like them!

Well then, we hope that you'll enjoy our song once more!

It's a song that we Keepers made while holding the feelings

of our dear, dear Friends in our hearts.

"Kemono Path".

All by myself, on the hill I stand.

hitori bocchi de oka ni tatsu

That's the melody!

Underneath the big old sun, I spent my time gazing at the clouds...

ohisama no shita de kumo o mite sugoshite ita

That's the melody that always plays out on the plateau in the evening!

It really is.

It's this song, isn't it?

Being by yourself is so lonely

zutto hitori ja samishii ne

This song is so nice, isn't it!

What?

That's...

Could it be...!

Everyone! It's a Cerulean!

Please run away!

Now!

Princess!

We'll be fine. Just run!

Don't run away!

Like I'd let you!

Sabre Tiger-san...!

Everyone, run!

Stooop!

You won't get away with that!

Let's go!

Wild Release!

Welcome to, welcome to, Japari Park!

welcome to youkoso japari paaku

Today's another day of crazy fun and games!

kyou mo dottanbattan oosawagi

Grrr!

Roar!

How do you even take these out?!

With large volumes of water!

Water?!

Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Mother!

Mammoth-chan, I can't hold on until the Anniversary.

I'll face you, here and now!

Whaa?! Why say that now, out of the blue?!

The title being: "Blue Whale and Mammoth's Water Gun Showdown!"

The salt water out from the top of my head, and the water spurting out from your long nose!

The one that damages the Ceruleans more wins!

Is that okay?

I'll take on the challenge!

Ready...

Breathe in! Breathe, breathe, breathe!

GOOOOO!!

lalalala lalalala oh welcome to the japari paaku!

Lalalala lalalala! Oh, welcome to the Japari Park!

Lalalala lalalalalala! Come together, our friends!

Umyaaaaaaaaa!!

Myaa!!

Lalalala lalalalalala! Off on a wonderful journey!

lalalala lalalalalala suteki na tabidachi

Welcome to Japari Park!

youkoso japari paaku

Hurraaaay!!

Everyone, thank you for your assistance!

Thanks to you, peace has returned to the park!

It's frustrating, but we'll call it a draw this time, okay!

That seawater power is quite something, Mother!

Well then everyone, I'll see you at the Anniversary!

The most important thing is that everyone's okay!

But that tall thing in the plateau got broken...

Ah! But if we had that noise-maker box...!

It's gone!

Where did that box go...!

I got it!

We protected it good, you know.

Thank goodness!

Raccoon-san treats important things importantly!

Yep, you sure do.

A-hem!

Maybe it got all water damaged before?

We won't be able to hear that song any more, will we?

What should we do?

Okay!

Everyone, let's sing it and remember!

Eh?

That wonderful song that the human Friends made,

so that it never gets forgotten,

we'll sing it...

and give it to everyone in the park!

Okay!

All by myself

I worked all night making some hand-knitted costumes, so...

Here!

Wooow! So cuuute!

Amaaazing!

Thank you, Sheep!

These will make our cute costumes perfect, won't they!

Serval-chan, Okapi-chan...

Everyone, do your best!

Yeah!

Everyone, thank you for waiting!

Now, the Japari Park Anniversary will begin!

Everyone, have you got your light sticks ready?

Yaaay!

Thank you!

Grrr!

Roar!!

For coming to today's final performance of the "Kemono Friends Stage Play", we give our sincere thanks.

As this is the final performance,

we thought that we'd all each give a short introduction.

First up, all the Ensemble Friends!

The Ensemble's Furushou Miwa.

I was playing both Maned Wolf and a Cerulean.

I'm so grateful to all the cast for getting us through to this day!

Thank you!

Playing the part of Koala and also a Cerulean, Niihashi Izumi.

Thank you for coming today.

That I could spend my days around such cute Friends,

and again today by warm Friends was pure joy.

Thank you so much!

The Ensemble cast's Koizumi Hinata.

As a Cerulean, I took down that tall dealie.

And for Cheetah's - Boss' - entrance, I was one of the 3 holding the panels.

And above all, to be here in Japari Park as Malayan Tapir,

I really am just so blessed. Thank you so much!

Okay, next up...

All the individual friends!

In the role of Cheetah, Ishii Reika.

I really was so very anxious,

but everyone warmly welcomed and supported me...

Thank you so very, very much!

Playing in the role of White and Sabre Tiger, Sakai Ran.

That we're able to stand here on stage,

is thanks to the staff that gave all their support.

As well as everyone in wardrobe, makeup, lighting, sound, and all the production staff,

the producers, and also the one that brought life to this work, Yoshizaki-sensei.

And most important of all, all the fans that have supported us.

I think that I'll be doing a whole bunch of stuff in the future, so please support me! I'm Sakai Ran.

Thank you!

Okay! Playing the role of Sheep, Nishikawa Misaki.

Time really flies when you're having fun,

but with the days that the cast spent together,

becoming such fast friends, having fun in the dressing room,

and being able to see everyone's smiles - I think I'm so very lucky.

But most of all, that part at the end where I waved the penlights with everyone!

It wasn't much at the beginning,

really...

but with the word of mouth from everyone increasing day-by-day,

we were able to make the finale burst with energy and fun!

Thank you so much!

Playing the part of Greater Flamingo, Kouno Yulia.

I spent my days with PPP,

having a passionate time every day! Yes!

Today, they found out that we messed up the dressing room a bit.

Being able to be involved in a "Kemono Friends" thing, right after the anime - I'm completely overjoyed!

And in saying that the Friends Project will keep on going,

I think that I'd like it if it could let everyone have a nicer view towards the world.

Thank you so much for today!

Yes, playing the part of Blue Whale, Ito Rikako.

Out of all the cast here, I'm pretty much the youngest,

so I was all "They kinda should let the oldest person be the Mother, right?"

When I first heard of my part, I thought "Whale? Wha?"

But in the end, it really was so much fun!

That I'm able to stand here on this stage right now is thanks to everyone's support.

Thank you so much!

Right.

And now, all the Savanna Girls!

All right!

Yes, playing in the part of Mammoth, Nito Moeno.

Ah, well, when I was made a part of this work, I really was at a loss for words.

Of course, this work was incredibly heart-warming from the get-go,

and all the Friends that have come to see it are warm at heart too.

And with the memories of the incredible kindness that I got each and every day,

I'm filled with a sense of gratitude.

Thank you for such a great time!

Playing Black Leopard, Inamura Azusa.

In the practice hall, the dressing room,

and on stage itself,

I enjoyed all of it sooooo much!

It's really, totally thanks to all of you.

Thank you!

Oh no, I'm next?

Yes! Erm...

- Come on!

Playing the role of Okapi, Nomoto Hotaru.

I'm really just so glad that I was able to be here at the same time as everyone in this super-happy world!

Thank you!

Playing the role of Tanuki, Kato Rihona.

Performing every day was so much fun,

and I think that that being able to be a tanuki - be the Tanuki Friend, was just so great!

Thank you so much!

Next up, everyone in PPP!

Sure!

Okay! Playing the role of Humboldt Penguin, Chikuta Ikuko.

Erm... umm... well... uhh...

"Kemono Friends" really has so many, just so many different people that love it, and I can feel that through this play.

And, it's like, well, lots of unexpected things popped up,

but even with all that, it's like I don't really know if I can take it all in,

but you know, with everyone's kind eyes watching warmly,

it's such a great place to be, yes.

Thank you so much! I had so much fun!

Thank you very much!

Yes! In the role of "Rocker", the Rockhopper Penguin, Aiba Aina!

The stage, this world,

and everyone here - it's really such a kind world, isn't it!

I'm really abuzz with feelings!

And then, as PPP, as Rocker...

To put so much into this, I really do think it was just so - just so great!

Everyone, thank you so very, very much!

Okay, playing the role of "Princess", the Royal Penguin, Sasaki Mikoi.

Thanks to everyone's support, we got ourselves two more encore performances.

Nine shows - I thought that would take so long!

But really it was over in just the blink of an eye!!

It was so wonderful to meet with so many Friends and colleagues!

I'm so happy that my first performance was the "Kemono Friends" stage play!

Thank you!

Yes, playing the role of Gentoo Penguin, Tamura Kyouka.

Us in PPP, Raccoon-san, Fennec and Serval-chan too,

as voice actresses, we were in the anime as well.

But, well, that we're both voicing and acting here,

I was really worried that we might flub the whole thing.

But together with everyone,

with everyone acting in this play,

we were all able to make this thing called "Kemono Friends".

And, well, it really was fun.

Really so fun - even though it's hard with the heat and the sweat.

But honestly, just like Mikoi-san before,

Mikoro-san?

You really surprised me!

Just like her, I really did go on a bit...

I truly feel that I had a lot of fun! Thank you so very much!

Okay, playing the role of "Emperor", the Emperor Penguin, Nemoto Ruka.

Erm... Right... Well... We were really doing full-body... full-bodied? Erm, acting of PPP this time...

Day after day, there was always something left to talk about,

and we always had to start from square one.

Acting with your body really was it's own kind of difficulty.

But even with all that, the cast acting in the play really supported us,

no matter how many times I bothered them.

While it was my first play ever, I think that it being "Kemono Friends" was great.

With everyone's support,

I think that the "Kemono Friends Project" will keep going from today,

so please keep on supporting us!

Thank you so much for today!

And now, Raccoon-san and Fennec!

Okay!

Raccoon-san!

It's oveeer!

Sorry, I'll start things off.

Yes! Playing the role of Fennec, Motomiya Kana.

Umm... erm... really... ahh! Really... erm...

That we all were able to make it to the end in one piece is so great.

Really, there's so many fans that have come from the anime and the stage play,

to be able to be here as Fennec all the way to-

Ahhhh! This is so embarrassing!

...to be able to be here as Fennec all the way to the end,

and everyone's being so warm, and everyone in the cast really giving their support,

and you know, I got so much support from Saki-chan,

everyone worked so hard,

so I really...

had such a great time being Fennec,

Sorry... Being able to act like this

was really, really just so much fun!

Thank you so much for supporting us!

Playing in the role of the Common Raccoon, "Raccoon-san", Ono Saki.

Thank you so very much for today.

Before we started, I thought "No way! Nine performances is so long!"

"I can't do a performance a day!", I thought.

"And our practice time is kinda short", I thought.

"There's no way that I can remember all that", I thought.

But, you know, I normally do voice work.

So there's really nothing to do but stand in front of a mic and not move around.

To pull off Raccoon-san's expressions with my whole body,

I needed to study up so much!

Why does she move around so muuuch?!

I really had to do my best to pull it off!

But I'd never really done anything on stage,

so all the experienced actors here taught me things.

The staff noticed when I had gotten sweaty,

and gave me tissues in the back.

I got so much help,

and everyone waved around their sticks so much at the end.

Thank you so much!

I had so much fun!

Thank you so much!

Last up is Serval-chan.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

I really am! Everyone, what did you think of Kemono Friends?

Thank you! Thank you!

Honestly, all of your cheering and support every day became my strength.

When I was rehearsing, I was a giant pile of worry over just how long this might go on for.

But when I first stood here on the stage like this,

I got a real sensation of just how fun this was.

When I started - even before I started,

all the staff and everyone here - all the Friends!

All the Friends truly gave me their support.

Me, who had absolutely no stage experience, standing right here in the middle of everyone,

all that I could feel was anxiety,

but thanks to all the cast, I came to feel at ease standing here.

And, really...

Being here in front of you all, performing such a wonderful work,

meeting you as Serval, with all of these wonderful Friends -

I truly am blessed.

Please continue to enjoy Kemono Friends in the future!

Thank you so very much for today!

Thank you so muuuch!

This is not the end to our finale.

I want to call everyone to gather upon the stage once more!

Everyone, that was a wonderful finale, full of laughs and tears!

And while today unfortunately spells the end of this play,

at this final moment, we have an announcement from this girl here!

Sabre Tiger-san!

I shall now make my announcement.
