Are there any crybabies?

Where did they go?

Where did they go?

Demons, stay out!

-Ouch! -Demons, stay out!

Demons, stay out!

Demons, stay out!

-Demons, stay out! -Demons, stay out!

Demons, stay out! Demons, stay out!

-Taro, join us. -Ouch!

Jeez! All because you said you wanted to do mamemaki…

-There! -That hurts!

Akira, more beans!

Now's my chance!

It's my chance! Demons, stay out!

-Demons, stay out! -I'm reloading!

-Timeout! -Demons, stay out!

There are no timeouts on the battlefield!

Demons, stay out!

Demons, stay out!

I'm out of beans!

-Demons, stay out. -Go!

Demons, stay out!

-Demons, stay out! -I got you!

Wait, Akira. Where did Zen go?

Demons, stay out!

Ouch!

That's cheating!

Time's up! Stop there!

-It's time for dinner. Pick up the beans. -Okay.

What! I want to play!

These are precious ingredients for dinner.

I want to play. I want to play.

-Do it at school. -Down we go.

-We don't do mamemaki at school. -Sweep, sweep.

I want to play!

All right, fine! Then come with me tomorrow.

-To where? -To where I grew up.

Where you grew up?

HARAJUKU TSUGUMI ACADEMY

The demon's here!

Argh! I'll eat you up!

You too!

Throw your beans, everyone! Throw them!

-Bam! Bam! -Come on!

Everyone's not having fun.

What's up with you all?

You guys are such downers!

-Yusuke! -It can't be helped.

The director isn't here.

Come on!

Just because the director went out…

She was hospitalized a month ago.

Hospitalized? What do you mean?

Oh, Zen! Welcome!

Hey. I heard the director was hospitalized.

Yeah, for diabetes. Fatigue probably made it worse.

But she's recovering, so don't worry.

Okay.

When will the director come back?

She'll be back soon.

Soon? How soon?

You said the same thing last week.

Everyone is worried.

We've all lost

our parents once already.

Even still,

all of you are too depressed.

During times like these, we have to cheer up.

-You don't get it at all. -Huh?

You don't know what we're going through

now that the director is not here.

About Yusuke's future…

Yusuke is going to leave here next year, you know?

He has been discussing with the director about whether he should find

a full-time job or go to vocational school.

I have

to leave here in two years too.

But I can't imagine myself living on my own.

I want to be with you forever, Sachiko.

I don't want to be alone either.

I hate to admit it,

but we feel lost without the director too.

Are you really okay, Director?

Thank you for coming all the way to see me.

Don't push yourself. You've been working non-stop

even since I was a kid.

But I have to return soon for the children.

You are such an important part of their lives.

I hope they can cheer up and be at least half as happy as you are.

Oh, right! I have something to tell you.

You're getting married?

Married? No! I'm taking care of a kid.

A kid?

That's more surprising?

What do you mean?

Well…

His name is Akira.

He's a first-year elementary school kid.

He was sent to his relative's house due to his parents' circumstances,

but I happen to be living in that house right now.

And so, a lot of stuff happened,

and we decided to take care of him at our place

until Akira's mother comes to pick him up.

It's already been about a month since he moved in.

-I see. -Sorry.

I wanted you to be the first person to know,

-but things were so hectic. -But…

you didn't think about putting him in an orphanage?

Well…

I mean,

it's not like I didn't like orphanages.

I'm really thankful for everything the academy did for me.

There are responsible adults who can raise him there.

But… I don't know…

He came to me by chance.

So I thought it must be fate.

I see.

But it's not like I don't have any worries.

I'm not a very respectable adult.

What?

You're just going to laugh?

You want me to say something?

No, not really.

I know! Let me cheer up everyone at the academy.

God! Then why don't you cheer me up instead!

-Did something happen? -He lost his horse racing bet again.

Didn't we do mamemaki? Isn't that supposed to bring luck?

Oh! Ken, we only dressed up like demons.

Is that why?

-Of course not. -Stupid.

Did you call us stupid?

-What a pleasant surprise. -Huh?

It's commendable that you visit the orphanage each year.

Duh, people call me Naoto Date at the academy.

-Who is that? -You don't know Tiger Mask?

The heroic wrestler who saves kids in orphanages with the money he wins.

-Yes, I'm actually a hero. -Yeah right.

You only go there when it's mamemaki season.

-What about Christmas? -Nope. Presents will cost a fortune.

All you need to do for mamemaki is run away.

A penniless Tiger Mask.

So what will you do for the kids?

I want them to liven up.

Enlist them in the Self-Defense Force.

They're not you, Ken.

Let's do something exciting then.

Yeah, let's all have fun!

This isn't some kind of festival.

-Festival? -Festival?

Huh? What?

A festival sounds fun!

That's got to be it.

-Let's go all out! -Yeah.

-Good idea, Nozomi. -It's going to get crazy again.

But is it even possible to have a festival?

Yeah! If we get everyone in Harajuku involved.

-Who should we invite? -Girls.

Good idea! Let's make a harem.

-Harem. -We'll party all night. Festival it is!

-Yeah! -Excuse me!

Who is this festival for?

The kids at the academy.

Lies. You just want to have fun yourselves.

If we have fun, the kids at the academy will have fun too.

What kind of reasoning is that?

-Hey, let's have a chicken fight. -Chicken fight?

I want to see guys fighting each other.

Then chicken fight it is!

Chicken fighting at a festival?

-It's fine, stupid! -Stupid?

Anything goes, as long as it's fun.

I want to have a festival too.

Good, Akira.

-What about you, Nozomi? -Me?

-Who else? -Don't act cheeky.

-You won't join then? -I will.

Don't run.

We'll make this the headquarters.

Great!

All right. Let's all make the Tsugumi Festival a success!

Yeah!

We'll make this the best festival in Harajuku!

No way! It's your first time here?

-We'll show you around then. -Yeah.

-Want to see Ura-Harajuku? -Let's go!

Three peace, everyone in Harajuku!

-Zen? -Senpai?

Over there!

-What? -Bam!

What is he doing?

I'll only say this once, so listen carefully.

There will be a festival this Sunday.

-Festival? -For more info,

come to Red Line tonight, because we'll discuss it there!

Wait a second! Let's go to my store.

-Good idea! -It's in Ura-Harajuku.

Are you listening, Nobu?

-What? -What?

Stop hitting on girls

and tell others about this.

Do it! Bye!

Wha…

-Nobu! Seiji! -Huh?

What's this about a festival?

Senpai is about to do something crazy!

All right! I guess we should spread the word.

-Okay! -Okay!

-It'll be fun for sure. -Okay.

-Make sure you come. -We will.

-Okay, see you at Red Line tonight then. -Okay.

Bye. Don't get picked up by weirdos.

-We won't. Bye. -Bye.

Hey!

-Taro! -Taro!

Are you free this Sunday?

We have worship on Sunday.

Why do you ask?

We're having a festival. Can you come?

-Of course! -Maria.

Skipping out on one or two worships isn't a big deal.

-Nene. -Tomie.

Yes?

There will be a briefing at Red Line tonight, so come. Okay?

Amen.

I will be there.

People of Harajuku.

If you have home appliances,

furniture, or clothing that

you do not need anymore,

please donate it to the Tsugumi Festival.

Senpai, I'm going to Disneyland with my girlfriend on Sunday.

Disneyland? Are you stupid?

Don't say that into the microphone.

I'm helping you for free, aren't I?

Whatever. Just come to the Tsugumi Festival.

This is no time to be going to Disneyland, you fool.

Ow! Like I said, don't use the microphone.

Ken!

Oh! Stop the car.

We heard you're having a festival at Tsugumi Academy.

You two better come too.

Of course! What should we wear?

How about your new skintight rubber suit?

-Good idea! -Hey!

Don't make things too kinky, okay?

-All right, go! -Yes…

-Bye. -Good luck.

People of Harajuku. Please give

whatever you can to the Tsugumi Festival.

-Wow… -Wow…

We're really having a festival?

Of course!

All right, let's have a festival!

Yeah!

Let's have fun!

Yeah!

Three peace!

That's not trending.

Okay.

Let's go!

Yeah!

-Nobu! -Okay!

Let's go crazy!

Yeah!

-You guys came too? -Yeah!

-Stress relief! -Misaki!

-Let's go! -Franky!

Zen!

-Auntie! -Yay!

Harry.

Bravo.

A festival!

Mr. Kuwabara…

Thank you for coming.

Amen.

-President! -Taro!

-Taro! -Taro!

-Attention, please. -Take care.

-Ken! -Hey!

Amigo!

-Clean up! -She's my girlfriend.

-We'll win the jackpot! -Yeah!

Salute Otsubo senpai!

Good to see you! Thanks!

Member number one of the Yu Hyuga Fan Club,

Yukinoshin Hojo.

Today, I brought everyone with me. Ready…

Yu!

Thank you.

So many people joined us. Thank you!

Yeah!

There are people we haven't seen in a while

and people who have completely misunderstood the concept.

-Who? -Who's misunderstanding?

But these guys are the main guests this time. Go to the front.

They're the main guests from Tsugumi Academy.

Yeah!

Please liven them up

through this festival!

Yeah!

What we want you to do, specifically, is utilize

the experience you have

in your respective jobs and open up stalls with them.

Also, please teach them your talents.

Yeah!

That's not all!

At the very end, we will all participate in a chicken fight!

Yeah!

All right, let's all have fun!

Yeah!

Hello, excuse me.

Yes?

Is Minoru Nomura here?

What business do you have?

I'm childhood friends with Minoru.

-He was always a nice guy. When we-- -Zen!

Minoru!

What happened?

Good to see you! I haven't seen you in a year!

You are alive?

Let's talk over there.

-What? -Just come over here.

-Come with me. -What the heck?

It seems like they are

worrying about a bunch of things since the director was hospitalized.

We can understand how they feel, right?

That's why

I want to hold a festival

and cheer them up.

And so, I want you to help me too.

I can't help.

Huh? Why not?

There's actually

someone I want to marry.

Marry? Seriously?

Who is it?

The girl you just spoke to.

Her name is Miki.

She was your girlfriend? She was cute!

I see. You're busy with wedding preparations, huh?

-That's not it. -Huh?

I haven't proposed to her yet.

Why not?

I haven't told Miki yet…

about the fact that I don't have parents or that I'm from an orphanage.

Why didn't you tell her?

-I'm afraid. -Afraid?

What will she think if she finds out I'm from an orphanage?

Even if Miki doesn't mind it, if we get married,

I have to meet her family…

It involves more than just liking someone.

I don't have time to be cheering up my juniors.

I see.

Then just pop in to say hi

if you feel like it. Okay?

No, Nobu.

-Not that. The other one. -Oh, this?

Not that. The middle!

-Be more specific! -I did tell you!

-What's wrong with you? -Ouch!

Make this more festive.

You can make headbands like this.

Ask Nozomi for details.

-All done! -Okay.

Okay.

Slowly, slowly.

Let's make the lines thicker.

Make them thicker.

-Anything? -Write whatever you want.

Okay.

Will people buy this?

Jeez, Sonoko.

It's not about whether people want it or not.

We will snatch customers and sell it to them.

Don't worry. It will sell.

You're starting elementary school in April?

Then we'll be in the same school.

Atsushi, did your dad and mom

go somewhere too?

I don't know. I've been at Tsugumi Academy since I was born.

That's why the director is my mom.

I see.

Come on, you guys, move your hands.

You guys are going to sell handmade crafts?

That's right.

My, my.

What a beautiful bowl.

It's a coffee cup.

Coffee cup.

-Of course, it's a coffee cup. -Hey.

Don't leave me out.

Oh, what a beautiful bowl!

-What's wrong? -Stupid!

-What? -Give that.

It's a coffee cup.

This should be enough.

Come on, hurry up

-and hand them out. -Leave that to us.

We're counting on you.

Come with us.

But it's cold outside.

Why do we have to hand them out?

Hey! Come on!

Stop whining and go! Think of it as picking up girls and guys.

SABOTENA

-All done. -Okay.

So now,

we'll delegate jobs for the day of the festival. Old hag,

pass these out. Here.

Who gave you the right to boss me around?

Just pass them out, old hag! Get moving.

Jeez…

Listen up. That is a list of things that

you guys can do.

If something interests you, raise your hand.

Me, me!

Akira is the only one?

You guys are so gloomy.

Hands in the air!

All right. That's good.

No, it's not. Don't threaten them.

It's just a water gun.

Atsushi,

what do you want to do?

What's wrong?

Bathroom.

It's over there. I'll take you.

-Make sure you come! -Please come by. Thank you.

It'll be fun.

-Thank you. -Come to the Tsugumi Festival!

Come on, pass them out.

The Tsugumi Festival!

Thank you. It'll be a fun festival.

-We promise it'll be fun! You'll find… -Please come.

-Ready. -Let's go.

-Up we go. -Yeah!

You see? We go like this and try to steal each other's headbands.

That's a chicken fight.

You have to use your hands, so make sure they're free.

-Can you do it, Akira? -Are you scared?

-Ken! -What?

Let Atsushi do the chicken fight too.

-Look at you. -He's giving orders now.

-Nobu! -Yes.

-Carry Atsushi. -Yes!

-Let's go. -Yeah.

Ready…

Up we go!

How's that, Atsushi?

Is it scary?

How is it, Atsushi?

We don't have headbands,

but you want to fight?

Come on, Taro.

I won't lose to you.

He's going to fall!

We're almost done.

-Ready? -Yay!

-Look, it's done! -It's done!

It's so cute!

Sorry, we're not open today.

-What are you doing? -Preparing for the festival.

We're having a festival at the orphanage where Zen grew up.

-I see. -Catch it.

He's doing better, it seems.

Yeah.

Now he's even dressing like them.

-Catch it. -I'll come another time.

Come to the festival if you can.

If I have time.

You'll find great stuff,

-so make sure you come! -Please come.

-Tsugumi Festival! -We're hosting

-a festival. Please come. -I promise it's going to be fun!

Come to the Tsugumi Festival!

Please.

-Tsugumi Festival! -It'll be fun.

Come take a look!

-It'll be fun. -Please come to the festival

-this Sunday. It'll be fun. -It's this Sunday!

-The Tsugumi Festival! -Please come.

-Make sure you come! -Thank you.

Yusuke.

The Tsugumi Festival is this Sunday.

-You'll find hidden gems from Ura-Hara. -Please come.

You'd better be there!

-It'll be fun. -It'll be fun for sure!

-It's the Tsugumi Festival! -Please come. Thank you.

Please come take a look!

TSUGUMI FESTIVAL

Give me a rubber band.

Hey.

-Huh? -Rubber band.

-Get it yourself! -Why can't you get it for me?

Then say, "Please get it for me."

-What was that for? -"Please get it for me."

No, thank you.

You're so immature!

-Hey. -Move your hands, not your mouth.

If the person you like grew up

in an orphanage, would it turn you off?

Huh?

Does that bother you?

-I don't mind that at all. -Really?

Yeah. Not at all.

I see.

Maybe I'll become a manga artist when I grow up.

You're good at drawing.

Minoru, what is your dream?

My dream?

Let me think…

I want to get married, to someone who is good at cooking.

Then I want to live in a big house.

Then I want five kids.

Nine is better. Then you can make a baseball team.

A baseball team, huh?

Hey…

Our dreams will come true

even without parents, right?

Of course!

I think so too.

What are you drawing?

-It's a secret. -What? Tell me.

Let me think…

Why is it three fingers?

The reason is…

-I'm not telling you! -Why not? Tell me!

HARAJUKU TSUGUMI FESTIVAL

Welcome to the Tsugumi Festival.

Attention please, please, please.

HAVE FUN

Welcome! Take a look!

Come on, show more enthusiasm!

THE RODRIGUEZ SPECIAL

Look at these cute T-shirts.

Get the Ura-Hara T-shirts.

Everything is haute couture.

President, this is a bargain price!

-Up! Balance yourself! This way. -Balance!

-Okay. -Jump a little.

Harry! Make the blizzard stronger.

Here you go.

Hey! That's too strong!

In the mountains, it can get this strong.

Maybe I'll go take a look.

Go like this.

-Jump! -Jump!

-Go forward! Straight ahead! -Okay!

Jump over the mountain!

Sonoko, you're so beautiful.

If I was a man,

I would fall in love.

-Me too. -Right?

You two aren't men?

-How rude of you! -How rude of you!

Hey, Ken.

What?

-Ken? -Ken?

Hey!

-Where are you all going? -Stay and watch!

-Wait! -You're creepy.

-I look better than you, old hag! -Excuse me?

How dare you laugh!

Watch and learn.

-Let me do it. -Look at it.

-There. -Look over here.

TSUGUMI CARNIVAL

Let's have fun.

HOW TO WARD OFF MOLESTERS

-She got me! -That's how you ward off molesters.

Yay!

One more time.

Let's go.

Say it.

I see your underwear.

-Hey! -Yay!

Yay!

Encore! Encore!

-Pass. -Pass.

-Pass. -Pass.

-Pass. -Pass.

What are these, Yukinoshin?

These are our company's most popular items.

I asked Dad to send them all over.

I wanted to give them to the kids.

-Thank you, toymaker. -It's nothing.

Wow, what are these?

-Toys. -I can see that! How many are there?

No need to thank me. I'm happy to do this for Yu.

-Thanks. -My pleasure.

Everything is unloaded!

Then pass them out to the children.

-Understood! -Begin distribution!

-Gather around! -Come!

Everyone, come!

Here, here.

Here you go.

-Don't rush. -You get this.

There are still more.

Hey! You guys should come too!

Let's go.

Go on, everyone. Let's go.

Here you go.

-Thank you. -No problem.

-One more! -Are you two

the nursery teachers?

Yes.

Can you help us on this side?

-Sure. -Hey!

I found a big one!

Look!

-Here, take it. -Which one do you want?

I don't want any.

We're not kids.

Yusuke, don't say it like that.

I'm sorry.

Jeez, what are we going to do with them?

Don't come crying for one later!

Come on, hand them out!

-You're right. -Okay!

Don't fight over it.

One second. Okay, okay.

Thank you very much.

-You sold one, Akira. -Yeah.

Good for you, Akira.

Oh.

I knew he'd come.

Welcome, Officer.

Atsushi,

this man is a police officer.

He's from this academy. Akira became friends with him.

Yeah.

Officer, buy this.

We made this.

-You did? -Yeah.

Wow! Very good!

Good luck, nurses.

Hey! What are you sulking here for?

It's a waste if you don't have fun!

Both of you, go! Be excited!

Hyuga!

You came?

You bought that? Thank you!

He has changed a lot in such a short period of time.

Yes.

That kid

is even dressing like you guys now.

Yes.

I guess you guys were able to reach his heart.

There you are!

There are only three more left!

-Three! -First come, first serve!

When I grow up,

I want a dog.

A dog?

Yeah. A big dog.

What about you?

I want to live in a big house.

Oh, yeah?

Then I'll bring my dog and visit you

at your house.

Okay.

What a lovely dream.

Dreams, huh?

Welcome. Come in.

Welcome.

Come in.

Come in.

Hey.

Can I borrow you?

Huh?

FESTIVAL

Why?

Salute!

All right!

Bear with it!

I can't see!

Then lift it up yourself!

I can't see!

All right!

Everyone!

Are you ready?

Yeah!

What's wrong, you guys?

You need to show more energy.

It can't be helped.

-What? -Well…

The festival may have been fun,

but

it's not like our feelings are going to change just with that.

Yusuke is right.

You guys…

Stop feeling so sorry for yourselves!

Yusuke.

Do you need the director to choose your career for you?

Aren't you supposed to choose how to live your own life?

Sachiko.

You said you can't imagine yourself living on your own.

It's not that you "can't".

You just "don't".

That goes for you guys too.

Do you think the director will be happy seeing you like this?

Why is the director taking care of you?

She's taking care of you

because she wants you to learn how to survive on your own after you leave.

Hey.

You're going to graduate from this academy one day too.

At this rate, you'll never make

new friends in the real world.

Zen

has these many friends

outside of the academy.

Do you know why?

That's because he isn't ashamed, like you guys, about the fact

that he's from the orphanage!

So what if you don't live with your parents?

There are

tons of people like that in this world.

If you ask us,

you guys

are nothing special.

Akira.

You say something too.

If all of you cheer up,

I think the director will also feel better.

Don't you think so, Atsushi?

What's the point in making each other feel down?

Stop worrying about the future.

You have dreams too, don't you?

Like living in a big house

or getting married to someone who can cook.

Hey.

Our dreams will come true

even without parents, right?

Of course!

I think so too.

Are you going to give up on those dreams?

Our dreams will come true even without parents, right?

Right?

Of course!

I'll make it come true.

That's right.

Not having parents is nothing to be ashamed of.

I am…

I am…

proud of the fact that I am from this academy.

DREAMS COME TRUE

Then do what you need to do.

I know that!

Hey!

Miki?

Minoru.

Your juniors are watching.

M… Miki…

Will…

Will you…

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Let's go.

Good for you!

Look at you!

Yeah!

He's your senpai.

If you put your mind to it, you can do anything too.

All right! Let's all have a chicken fight!

Yeah!

Ready…

Go, go!

You can do it!

-We did it! -Go!

That is…

It's "three peace", because I want to be happier than just "peace".

You said that as you gave me this a long time ago.

You held onto it?

Today, I felt so happy.

Thank you, Zen.

Hurry up and get better

and come back to the academy.

You're right. After all, you are also

doing your best, looking after Akira.

I'd better do my best too.

I don't know about that.

You know,

like I said before, I'm not a very respectable adult.

What is a respectable adult?

Money and status don't make someone respectable.

You don't need those as long as you have compassion.

It's like a chicken fight.

You, Otsubo,

and Yamada. The three of you

are providing a solid foundation for Akira.

I can tell just by looking at how Akira was smiling.

And I wish that

Akira

and the children at the academy

will one day become adults who can be a foundation to others.

Just as you did.

Director…

You guys

are very respectable.

Don't worry. Be confident.

Yes.

We're respectable?

She praised us.

-She knows what she's talking about. -Yeah.

Still?

That feels great.

-The back next. -The thighs too.

I want to do my homework!

Do that at school.

Don't bring work and homework back home.

-That's the spot. -Homework!

Being respectable feels great!

It's the best.

Akira, you must become

a respectable adult too. So step on my thighs.

Oh, that's the spot. Akira, this way. That's good.

Three peace!

-That makes no sense. -That's not going to trend.

-Three peace. -Homework!

Three peace!

Akira, massage only me.

That's not fair!
