Lu la lu la
A piano sends its melody to the fields of dreams all over the world
Believing the broken clock
Whose side is time on
Why is my heart waiting so eagerly for someone kind
Tell me my wonderful future
Moonlight, moonlight sleepin'
Lu la lu la
A girl awakens to the apple of memories and bestows a kiss
In the book spread open in sorrow
Their bell rings
Because I want to hug the one dear to me
Don't cry anymore, goodbye sadness
The letters on the mysterious door say, "Fancy hearing cake"
Wonderland
Welcome, for you
Fairyland
It's the magic of love
Love's all way
Everyday, the fluffy temptation of wheat
Cake for you
Please eat, tonight
Tea for you
Is a tea party of constellations
A chorus of angels at the window
Did you just fancy hearing that
The voices saying, "I love you, I love you"
Chiyo-chan's Day
Good morning, Mr. Tadakichi.
This is Mr. Tadakichi. He is always by my side.
He's been living with us since I was five years old.
When we first met, he and I were about the same size,
but Mr. Tadakichi grew and grew, and finally became bigger than me.
Good.
Smile.
My day begins with making my lunch.
Asparagus wrapped in bacon, salad, and a small omelet.
Then, I wake up my mother and father.
It's morning!
And eat breakfast.
See you later!
Then, I head for school.
It feels good when the weather is nice.
Oh, but my parents bought me a new umbrella,
so rain might not be so bad, either.
Chiyo-chan!
Long time no see!
Oh, Miruchi! Yuka-chan!
They are my classmates from grade school, Miruchi and Yuka-chan.
Long time no see.
Wow, is that your high school uniform?
It's the first time I've seen the summer uniform.
Isn't it cute? But the skirt length of the uniform
is the same for both winter and summer.
They're in 6th grade, but I'm a second year student in high school.
Because I skipped forward to the first year of high school
when I was in 5th grade.
Oh, yeah! What's popular at school now?
Jump rope! It's gotten popular again lately.
Yeah, and it's pretty fun. Right?
And you can play with everyone that way.
Wow, jump rope! That brings back memories.
What's popular in high school?
Huh?
Yuka, Chiyo-chan's in high school, so she doesn't play anymore.
Oh, right.
We play around in high school too...
But I guess we don't do jump rope.
See you around.
Later.
Bye-bye.
Miruchi and Yuka-chan attend elementary school.
I was attending the same school just a while ago too, but...
We've got swimming today!
First hour's swimming!
Oh, wait for me!
Wait!
But...
But I am...
I am a high school student.
Morning.
Oh, good morning.
Your friends?
Oh, yes. They're my classmates from grade school.
If we go straight down this road, we get to my high school.
High School Friends
Jump rope is apparently popular right now in grade school.
It brings back memories. Jump rope.
This is Miss Sakaki from my class.
Miss Sakaki lives in my neighborhood,
so I often see her on my way to school.
Miss Sakaki, did you jump rope too?
I used to be quite good at it.
Really.
Miss Sakaki is big, but quiet. She really listens to what I say.
Speaking of which, swimming starts today, doesn't it? I can't wait.
I want to be able to swim as well as you, Miss Sakaki...
What?!
But every so often, she suddenly disappears.
It's a mystery.
Morning!
My friends, you all doing good?!
Good morning.
Hey, Chiyo-chan! Morning, Yomi!
This is Tomo-chan and Miss Yomi. Well...
Tomo, did you get the show I asked you to record yesterday?
Oh, shoot! I forgot.
I knew it.
I was stupid for asking you.
Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid!
Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid! Stu...
This is the kind of people they are.
You're the stupid one!
Get a move on!
You're going to end up more tired if you keep running like slackers!
Now, "shitari" is in the conjugation form
of the sa-column irregular conjugation verb, "su".
However, it can also be used as a noun or an adjective verb, and...
She still hasn't shown up.
Yukari-chan sure is late a lot.
This has got to be a new record.
Is there something going on today?
Who knows? Knowing Miss Yukari, she probably just overslept.
No, knowing Yukari-chan, I'll bet you
today's the release date of the limited box edition of some game.
That's about the stupidest...
Yeah, because you're the stupid one, right?
How could I...
If I become one of them...
I'm a kitty cat!
This is not study hall!
This is our homeroom teacher, Miss Yukari.
She teaches English.
Oh, I just can't believe it!
I was going to make a short stop and buy a video game on my way,
but the thing was, there was a line and it's a weekday!
They must be college kids with lots of free time.
Honestly! And now I'm late because of them!
She is an unconventional teacher.
Okay! Get plenty of fluids!
Classes are more fun in high school than they were in grade school.
Okay, for this part...
Chiyo-chan.
Yes, ma'am.
That's right. Impressive as always.
Oh, brother.
Did you sleep well?
Oh no, not very.
Oh! Oh! Wrong! Wrong! That's not what I meant!
Miss Osaka often sleeps during class.
Could she be a night owl?
Lunch
"At times, his appearance was young and energetic,
Unlike grade school, in high school, "At times, his appearance was young and energetic,
Unlike grade school, in high school, but changing his demeanor, he might dress like a monk."
we have a different teacher for every subject. "Other times, he might have hair growing in around his topknot."
So, we have all sorts of teachers.
"Truly, this is what one would call a monster passing by."
Okay, you can stop there.
Who should I have read the next part?
Oh, yeah. The other day, I had an opportunity
to speak with a teacher from a girls' high school.
If they have P.E. In the first hour...
Apparently, they don't care
about wearing their P.E. Clothes to homeroom too!
And when they have swimming...
Sometimes, they even wear swimsuits!
He's serious.
He's crying for real.
It must be so nice.
We really have all sorts of teachers.
Yes?
Chiyo-chan, here.
Thank you.
Let's have lunch on the roof! Yomi
Things like this haven't changed since grade school.
This time for sure!
Co-op
Unlike grade school, there is no school lunch in high school.
So, we either bring lunch, buy bread at the co-op,
or eat at the school cafeteria.
It's like the post-war period...
It is the post-war period, though.
Thanks for waiting!
Welcome back.
I got fried noodle sandwiches!
Wow! Tomo, you're the best!
Here, that's yours, Osaka.
Melon bread...
What?
I asked for melon bread...
Who cares? A fried noodle sandwich is higher in difficulty, after all.
Difficulty...
I forgot my wallet!
It's been left open.
Probably because it lets the breeze through.
The weather is so nice and the breeze feels wonderful too.
Yeah, it does.
Doesn't it make you feel like you could just fly away
even if ya jumped off from here?
I feel like Miss Osaka might really do things like that.
Hey!
Let's eat over here!
Damn it, they sold out!
Eating lunch on the roof was a nice idea.
It just tastes better when you're eating it somewhere high up.
What is it?
Nothing.
Tomo.
That looks good. Let me have a bite.
What?!
Come on, I'm always letting you look at my homework.
That's my line!
It's fine with it being mine!
Was it good?
It was really good!
They sure are energetic.
Tomo-chan and Miss Yomi have been together since grade school,
so they always seem to have fun together.
The rooftop feels great.
You are so...
Afternoon
Okay, that's it for warm-ups!
Gather around!
Fourth hour is P.E.
Today, we have swimming.
Today, we'll be swimming four 25-meter laps.
Anyone who can't swim can use a kick board, okay?
Yes, ma'am!
Chiyo-chan, what are you going to do? You want to use a kick board?
No! Today, I will swim all the way to the middle without one!
Go for it!
Yes!
That's Miss Kagura.
The middle of the pool is a bit deeper, so be careful, okay?
Okay!
Got two!
Give it back!
You don't need two of them!
I do too need two!
Miss Kagura is a member of the swim team,
so she is the best swimmer in the class.
She can even hold her own against the boys.
Wow.
Go for it, Chiyo-chan!
Yes!
Okay. Me too!
I'm able to go for about ten meters, freestyle.
In order to go further than this,
I think I will have to master breathing to the side.
Hey, I hit something.
Man, sorry about that. You're so small, I didn't see you.
Hey, now, be careful.
Remember, Chiyo-chan's feet can't reach the bottom.
Death is always a risk when you're swimming, you know.
Death?!
I can't wait to grow taller!
Finally, there's cleaning.
I like cleaning, because everything becomes so nice and tidy.
Tomo-chan, you can't sweep like that.
I wish she would be more serious.
Miss Osaka is serious about cleaning,
but she's not very good with a dustpan.
And then, we leave school.
Today was certainly another busy day.
Bye-bye.
I'm home!
Unlike grade school, high school lets out late.
So, by the time I finish my homework, it's already evening.
Let's go, Mr. Tadakichi.
In the evening, I go for a walk with Mr. Tadakichi.
Lately, Miss Sakaki has been joining us for our walks as well.
It seems Miss Sakaki also likes Mr. Tadakichi.
The three of us taking these walks is very fun.
Jump Rope
Let's go through the park.
Sure.
Here goes!
Ready, set...
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Oh, Mimi-chan, you messed up!
Time to switch.
Okay.
Oh, it's already 5:30!
I'm going to be late for cram school!
I'll see you later!
Bye-bye!
We're in the middle of our walk, but...
You want to play, just for a bit?
What?
Here.
Little missy, come on in.
Rock, paper, scissors, and we're tied.
If you lose, go on out.
Little missy, come on in.
Rock, paper, scissors, and...
We're tied!
Hey, Chiyo-chan.
Tomo-chan!
Jump rope, huh? It sure brings back memories.
We don't even get to do it in P.E. Now.
Miss Yomi! Miss Osaka!
Ya see, I'm here to see Tokyo earthworms.
I'm not, though. I just happened to run into her.
All right! Chiyo-chan, I challenge you!
You just lost!
It's okay. You always do three rounds for these things.
Oh, really.
Here, take this.
Okay, okay.
Osaka, hold that end!
What're we singin'?
Let's sing whatever Chiyo-chan knows.
Chiyosuke, I challenge you!
I shall accept!
At night, I get sleepy very quickly.
When I hear everyone talking about late night TV or radio,
I get a little envious.
It seems late nights are no problem once you grow older.
I can't wait to be a grownup.
Goodnight, Mr. Tadakichi.
Well...
Goodnight!
With wings upon your soul
Convey the whispers of your heart
Now, riding the wind
Your soul is beyond the stars
Your wishes will come true, without fail
Come see me, that key is for the future
The voice calling softly by the window
Speaks of love to come and...
Even if the love is still far off
I have faith in tomorrow
I have faith in you
Raspberry heaven
I promised you that you're not alone, remember, heaven?
Raspberry heaven
Such sweet tears
Smile again in paradise
Raspberry heaven
I've come for you, the heaven of gentle dreams
Raspberry heaven, I'm coming back to you
On the day the flowers in paradise bloom
You and I...
Let's meet, just the two of us
Next Azumanga Daioh
Our version of the great lord of terror is approachin'.
And that is...
Tests! It's tests! Whoa, scary!
Don't worry!
If we work together, there are no picks and peaks we can't overcome!
Knuckleheads If we work together, there are no picks and peaks we can't overcome!
Knuckleheads That's right. We gotta all work hard together!
Okay! All three of us, fall in step! Here goes!
Tell us what's going to be on the tests!
Idiots.
