Let's Sing a Song
Make sure you wash your hands.
Greet people with a cheerful voice.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun,
shines down on everyone
Let's have lots of fun today
as we play, play, play
Hmm...
Sasuke, you didn't sing today either, did you?
Are you too embarrassed? You can do it!
This little kid with the long lashes can't even sing!
Did you forget the words? You can sing it, right?
Stop! Quit ganging up on him, everyone!
Sasuke doesn't wanna sing it!
Shut up, Bossun. Nobody gets special treatment here.
Sasuke has to sing, too.
Forget about it! Sasuke can't do anything unless I'm right next to him.
And he won't sing even if I tell him to,
so there's no way anyone else can make him do it.
It's even impossible for you, Agata-sensei, so give it up!
Bossun. No jelly for you today.
No jelly?!
Yabasu! Agata-sensei even acts childish with the children!
But I love that about him, too...
Here's the real opening.
Enjoy the song.
Episode 56: May I Come Backstage?
Congratulations
Hmm, I think Miss Momoka has gotten even better.
Her dancing in particular is much more polished these days.
What say you, Mr. Usui?
I agree. However, I'm more interested in her singing.
Her skill as a singer is rated highly in the industry,
but it all comes down to her wonderful voice.
I see! I love her voice actress period best, with her Momo-tan persona.
But the way she sets apart her singer persona and actress persona,
I just can't get enough!
Wait 'til you get home before you start slobbering.
Her multiple talents in various endeavors have all borne fruit for her!
But I'm sure she must have put in a ton of effort behind the scenes.
Certainly.
By the way, Mr. Usui, I assume you're aware
of the Miss Momoka fan appreciation event being held next week?
The thing where 500 fans are chosen by lottery to attend, yes?
The results haven't been announced yet.
I sent out 100 fan postcards!
And being blessed with Reality Maji-level luck,
I'm sure to be one of the chosen ones!
Waiting for her to come out, huh?
That kind of thing is against my policy,
but I guess it couldn't hurt once in a while...
Besides, I'd do anything to get another glimpse of Miss Momoka!
Hmph. That's not the way to do it.
Wait, Mr. Usui!
Hurry up! We have to get to...
The location shoot, taping the drama 'til morning. I know.
Switch...
Momoka!
Coming!
I'm in!
I'm the luckiest...
Mr. Usui, I bet you weren't picked in that drawing for the event either, huh?
The passion of Momoka's fans is not to be underestimated!
Oh ye of shallow feeling!
It's because you felt safe after sending a mere 100 postcards!
I'm all fired up!
Alright, time to get to work on a new paper fan for the event!
I'm beat.
Hey, Switch. You ducked out on helpin' with that request.
He's not here...?
"I went out to Akihabara...
...to buy parts?"
So then Captain brought up the three-second rule...
Uh-huh...
Oh, Switch.
You're back, huh?
Momoka?!
Hey, long time no see!
Yes, too long, Ma'am.
I was working in the area today, so I thought I'd drop by.
Bossman, good to see you again, too!
H-Hi. That's not like her...
Usually Momoka just ignores me...
By the way...
If it's about Switch, he's out.
I see... Out, huh?
What's the long face for?
Did something happen?
No, nothing like that. I'm working in the area today, so I thought I'd drop by.
Yeah, you said that already...
Is Switch-kun here...?
Kibitsu Momoka!
Huh. I see. You're performing around here the day after tomorrow...
That's right. So I had to check out the venue today.
And you swung by here after that...
If you'd like, you should come to the show.
I mean... you two and Switch-kun...
Sure, I'll ask him.
But dang, Switch has lousy timing. Momoka came all the way here...
I know, right?
Parts Shop
Unfortunately, I'm sold out of that part.
Well, excuse me...
All this effort for nothing...
Only one thing to do.
Drop in and get refreshed at the usual maid cafe
here in my Akiba stomping grounds...
Kibitsu Momoka
More and More Marshmallow
Maybe I won't throw in the towel just yet...
Sorry.
Sket Dance!
S-Sket Dance!
Second Year Class C
Switch, did you hear?
Momoka is having a concert near here tomorrow.
Momoka invited the three of us to go together.
You already have a ticket?
What the hell? You got a ticket just for yourself again?!
You should've told us about it, too!
What, are you ignoring us? Huh?
You think you're better than us, huh? How 'bout we mess you up some, huh?
My laptop is broken so I can't speak.
Is that right?
Man, that's really inconvenient.
Tell me about it.
Can't talk, can't research anything...
A Switch without a laptop is just an otaku with glasses.
I know! What, otaku, are you gonna go to Momoka's concert alone tomorrow?
What can I say? I'm a fan.
Okay...
This is too slow...
Are we gonna have to communicate like this with you for long?
What're you gonna do, Switch?!
It's a pain in the ass to talk to you this way!
Now, now.
I thought that took too long!
What did you put in a drawing for?!
The way you are now, you don't have that kind of slack!
Think about the pace of the conversation!
Jeez, this guy is pissin' me off!
Let go!
Fine, just speak!
Use this as an opportunity to talk with your mouth again!
That's right, never take an opportunity lightly.
Try saying, "Hello!"
Hello...
Switch-kun, you're here today, eh?
There's something I've been meaning to ask you...
What is your connection to Kibitsu Momoka?
Momoka?
She's an acquaintance. What about it?
Oh my Satan!
Hah?
How? How did you three become acquainted with an idol?!
It just happened...
Oh my Satan!
What the hell is that?!
I see... In that case, I have an idea.
What?
Get me an autograph!
As a matter of fact, I became a big fan after seeing "Faint Tremor",
the horror movie she starred in.
Is that really a horror movie?
Switch-kun, please! Get this Momoka maniac her autograph!
That is what I seek...
Ask normally!
The way you bow is scary!
I refuse. (LOL)
He was fast on the draw this time!
Oh, you're saying that, but I know you'll get it for me.
That's the kind of person you are.
Farewell...
Goodbye forever.
Use the door, for cryin' out loud!
It's just an autograph. You oughta get it for her.
Yeah, you know Momoka, after all.
And you'll probably get to go backstage, right?
Let me tell you something...
What?
Just because I'm acquainted with Momoka doesn't mean I get to visit her backstage.
Really?
And I didn't use any connections to get a ticket either, but hand-wrote 500 postcards for a chance to win.
Really?!
Postcards in this day and age... and handwritten at that!
If you two are also fans, shouldn't you get tickets through the proper channels?
You're absolutely right.
You're really picky about stuff like that, huh, otaku?
So wait a second... Momoka doesn't know you're going to her show?
And you can't really see the audience well from the stage...
That doesn't make sense.
Then Momoka doesn't know you go to all these concerts of hers.
Why do you bother going then?
Just to show my support to Momoka.
Marshmallows!
Roly-poly!
Star! Star!
Kibitsu Momoka
Momoka!
Why do I love them?
Maybe this was the perfect answer!
Love is perfect!
And you're no good at all!
It's the love you've been waiting for!
Lock on to the feeling!
Marsh-marsh-mallow-mallow!
Roly-poly marshmallows!
Marsh-marsh-mallow-mallow!
Roly-poly marshmallows!
Star! Star! Star! Star!
More and more roly-poly marshmallows!
Yay!!
More and more roly-poly marshmallows!
Star! Star! Star! Star!
Momo-tan's so happy to see all of you being so energetic!
Energy beam!
Beam!!
Fan Appreciation Event
Kibitsu Momoka
From: Kibitsu Momoka
Subject: Can I go backstage?
Of course you can.
It's unusual for you to ask something like that.
I already cleared it with my manager, so come on back after the show.
What the hell?! Let me see her!
Let me see Momo-tan!
Knock it off! You can't go in there!
This isn't your friend?
I haven't seen him before in my life!
Momo-tan!
Oh, no! He got through!
Gimme your autograph!
Get back here!
Let go!
W-W-Who the hell are you?!
Momo-tan's what...?
She's an acquaintance. What about it?
You've got no business being in here either!
Wait!
I-I really do know him.
He's my precious friend.
Say what?!
Bastard, what are you to Momo-tan?!
Y-You...
Goodbye forever.
R-Right...
Thank you for coming to my concert today...
...and also for s-saving me.
It seems like I'm always thanking you.
Now, now.
Your laptop broke down, so you're communicating through written messages.
That's just like you, Switch.
I've got a marker. Do you want to borrow it?
I refuse. (LOL)
Why?!
Why did you come to my show today?
It just happened...
Baloney.
I know that you've been coming to all of my events, Switch.
I always see you from the stage.
It just happened...
Why?
Why have you come so many times?
What can I say? I'm a fan.
F-Fan...
Then by "fan", you mean...
Just to show my support to Momoka.
I see... Yeah, that's what I thought.
Well, anyway, thanks a lot for today.
See you.
Marker?
Switch...
Switch, are you writing...
Gimme your autograph.
What the hell?!
Fine. Then can I ask you one favor, too?
Switch-kun, thank you!
I swear I'll return the favor a hundred times... no, a thousand times over!
Let go of me! Don't worry about returning the favor!
This makes me so happy. A signed copy of the "Faint Tremor" DVD...
You're shaking me! You're shaking my brain!
Incidentally, "faint tremor" is an old expression used to express a weak earthquake.
That level of shaking would be enough to rattle doors.
What we would now call a level 3.0 earthquake...
I'm happy he got that laptop fixed.
That was such a pain.
But come to think of it, what happened to his sketchbook?
Mm. It's actually...
Momoka, you're almost on!
Get to the studio.
Right!
What can I say? I'm a fan.
Usui Kazuyoshi
Please keep cheering me on, Switch!

I Love Robots
The class is going to put on the play "The Wizard of Oz" for Parents' Day.
But...
Hey, Bossun. Don't be so selfish!
Right, right.
He says, "Why does Switch get to be the robot? I don't agree with that."
Hmm...
See, Switch can do a robotic voice with his laptop.
And I think he also looks the part.
Right, right.
"But that guy doesn't have enough love for robots.
Plus, I've mastered the skill of moving like a robot
and am more obsessed with them than anyone.
If you think about it, I'm sure you'll agree
I'm the best person to play the robot,"... he says.
Shut up!
Forget about it! We have to decide on the parts fair and square.
I know you love robots, but you don't get special treatment.
Excuse me, Agata-sensei. He can have my role as the lion...
Why, Michiru?
After all, it's not the lead.
Then you can have my part as Villager A.
It's a pain in the butt anyway.
What's wrong with you guys?
But the problem is that Bossun wants to be the robot.
Not the lion, right?
What happened to your obsession with the robots?!

Today's Special Training
Biscuit Dance!
See, that was easy, right?
You try it too, Sasuke.
It'll be fine! I know you can do it!
You don't know unless you try!
Are you an akabeko?!
Akabeko: A bobble-cow toy/ward against smallpox from Fukushima prefecture
No, I know you're really not!
Okay, I got one. Next, I'll jump down from there.
If I can do that, you jump off the top of the slide.
What? I'll break a bone, you say?
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I've got a force field.
I'm protected by an invisible force field that turns on whenever I need it.
It worked on that last one, too. I call it my "ultra-barrier".
"Is this guy serious?" Well, anyway...
See?
Okay, that'll do it for today's training.
We've got Parents' Day tomorrow, so we better go home early and get ready.
But you go on ahead.
I'm gonna stay here... and do a little more training.
No, it's alright! I wanna do it by myself.
You go home first! Okay?
I heard Bossun broke his leg.
What's wrong with that kid?!
B.Y.B.
Barrier Yaburete Bakuhatsu shiro I hope your force field fails and you blow up!

Fun Parents' Day
Biscuit Dance!
So since Bossun injured himself yesterday,
somebody else needs to be the lion in today's play.
Michiru, go back to being the lion.
You're telling me now? I haven't memorized the lines.
The lines, huh? Good point...
We're screwed then...
Sasuke, you were always with Bossun when he rehearsed.
I bet you remember the lion's lines, don't you?
We practiced for this as hard as we could.
One, two...
Please enjoy it!
I wonder if Sasuke-kun will be okay...
...or if he'll yabas it up.
Yaba... I mean, there's no need to worry.
When it comes down to the crunch, he takes on his brother's daredevil courage.
You should be ashamed, attacking little Toto with that huge body!
Don't be so mad at me!
I just wanted to give him a scare!
I'm actually a coward.
I want courage!
Y'know, Bossun is too much of a mother hen to him.
What's that?
Sasuke can really do whatever he sets his mind to,
but because Bossun is always at his side, he's become dependent on him.
With Bossun absent, though, he knew that he had to do it all by himself.
Then the problem is that they're always next to each other, huh?
Next to each other, huh?
Days Later
What's the deal, Agata-sensei?!
Sasuke needs to be next to me...
Don't worry about it!
Bossun, you stand here. Sasuke, you're over here.
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun,
shines down on everyone
Let's have lots of fun today
as we play, play, play
Shining down as we play, play
In the clear eyes of the good boys and girls
Biscuit! Biscuit! Biscuit! Biscuit!
A biscuit you can break in half and share with your friend
Biscuit! Biscuit! Biscuit! Biscuit!
What a beautiful day.
Let's go! On next time's...

E-mail is an essential tool for modern people.
Your e-mails make me laugh, Samurai-san.
On the contrary, Pudding-san. It's cute how girlish your e-mails are.
A certain couple has met through exchanging mail, Samurai and Pudding.
But who are they really?
P-Pudding-san, I shouldn't be so forward, but...
Me neither, but...
Would you like to meet up somewhere?
Next time: You Got Mail!
Samurai-san...
Pudding-san...
I wonder what he's like!
I wonder what she's like!
