Happy New Year.
Well, last year just flew by, so I'm giving you my best regards.
Though, of course,
for some of you, my regards only go for about three more months.
I wonder who I'm talking about?
Ma'am! You're not talking about me, are you?
Delicious Day
I can trust you, right?
They say "a New Year's feeling,"
but it's true that there is a strange atmosphere.
And when school starts,
the atmosphere changes drastically, much to my dismay.
It's true that there's a strange power working over the New Year's holiday.
Even though I was so busy helping out at the beginning of the year...
I gained weight!
Oh, it's the magic of New Year's.
Since it's cold, it's harder for the fat to burn.
I moved quite a bit too.
I was really busy with shrine maiden stuff for the first days of the year.
But you ate to make up for it.
Shrine maiden New Year's food, shrine maiden rice cake soup,
shrine maiden snacks, snacks, snacks, snacks,
shrine maiden snacks... something along those lines.
But, speaking of enjoying the New Year's holiday...
You see pictures of hanetsuki, the 100 poem card game,
and flying kites a lot.
But I've never seen people really playing those games.
Well, they say that it's dangerous nowadays
because of the power lines and all the traffic.
I spent my time watching TV and reading books,
after the busy first three days of the year were over.
Um, I played them.
I enjoyed playing hanetsuki, the 100 poem card game,
and "Fortune's Smile".
That's not how I imagined you.
It's true that we have a very westernized house,
but our country house is strictly traditional Japanese.
I went to the first shrine visit in a kimono,
and I played together with all of my cousins.
"Even when the gods / Held sway in the..."
She's far more Japanese than me!
More traditional than we are! Or, what kind of "Fortune's Smile" face?
The 100 poems in the card game are all waka poems, right?
Yes, it's a game that the players pick up the cards with
the second half of the poem after the first half is read out loud.
I'm amazed you can do such a thing.
No, I'm still nowhere close to good...
Those who are really good move quite briskly, with a nice slap on the card.
No, it's more like...
It's like I'm studying archaic Japanese,
and I don't like it because it doesn't feel like I'm playing a game.
Those that find intelligent games troublesome
are the ones that are ruining Japan's future.
I mean, while we're at it,
why can't we have card battles with the 100 poem cards?
You know, that monk... Semimaru, wasn't it?
Semimaru's shiny-bright attack!
Versus Komachi Ono-no's lovely attack!
That sounds fun.
Going that way again?
But if you played games that move your body a bit like this one,
maybe you'd lose at least a little weight?
Shut up!
It's because of the rice cakes...
Rice cakes are high in calories.
Even a piece the size of a matchbox
has basically the same amount of energy as a small bowl of rice.
Which means, Kagami was eating giant bowls of rice each time!
Wait, didn't you guys eat rice cakes as well?
We don't have a mom at home,
so I don't remember eating much stuff like rice cake soup.
Or rather, I don't eat many rice cakes to begin with.
Wow, what a waste!
Rice cake soup, red bean soup, soy flour mochi...
There are all sorts of ways to eat delicious rice cakes.
Oh, at this rate, you're going to screw up again next year
with the rice cakes, aren't you, Kagamin?
What does your family eat instead of rice cakes, Izumi-san?
Like, pizza and pasta?
Our family's year always begins with fresh pasta!
Every year, at the end of the year,
Dad washes the pasta machine.
Did you know? If you don't use that thing for a while, it rusts.
And if you use it without washing it, it's like, the pasta turns all black.
And so we clean it up,
and make fresh pasta and bake handmade pizza dough.
That sounds authentic.
Well, I'm sure that in your house, Kagami,
the pizza is delivered and the pasta is the dried stuff.
Or rather, we don't eat pizza or pasta for New Year's...
You're kidding!
It doesn't go well with traditional New Year's dishes.
It does too! It's perfect with roast chicken.
That's a New Year's food?
It's a New Year's food.
It's a westernized version of New Year's food.
Is that how it is?
What did you guys eat during New Year's, Miyuki-san?
Me?
Miyuki-san, you have the image of a very westernized rich girl,
so I bet you don't have rice cakes and New Year's food.
So do you eat full-course French cuisine on New Year's Day?
That's not really true.
I ate traditional New Year's food,
and I couldn't bite through the rice cake,
so I did one of those "stretching out without end" things.
What's with this walking moe factor?!
Rice cake, stretching without end...
But the New Year's vacation goes by in a rush.
Tuesday, January 9th
That's true. Winter vacation ends really quickly.
It counts as a long break, but you do the big house cleaning,
write New Year's cards, do some homework...
In the end, there isn't much time to rest.
Wait a second! I didn't get a New Year's card from you,
and you copied my homework yesterday!
Uguu...
By the way, Kona-chan, did you have your first dream of the year?
Oh... that thing that's said to give you good fortune
if you happen to see one?
Right, right.
Normally, they say one is Fuji, two is hawk,
three is eggplant, right?
I hear that it continues further.
Four is fan, five is tobacco, six is a lutist monk.
I see, so there's up to sixth place...
But, you know...
Those things don't normally show up in your dreams.
What kind of dreams? What's a lutist monk?
I guess.
Hey, do you have to see all of them at once?
If you saw all of them, that would be tremendously lucky,
but I believe any one of them would suffice.
I thought that you needed to see
two hawks or three eggplants in your dream!
Or rather, to be blunt,
I don't remember most of the dreams I see in the first place.
People that really think about that stuff seriously enjoy New Year's.
That's true.
My first dream of the year was about
my shoes being missing when I opened my school shoebox.
Since I couldn't do anything about it,
I tried to head home with someone else's shoes,
but the size wasn't right...
That was my dream.
I looked it up in the "Dictionary of Fortune-telling with Dreams,"
and it said that it meant that I was seeking social skills,
but to gain such skills, it will still take quite a long time.
Apparently, shoes in dreams mean social status.
Cheesecake?
Miyuki-san... You're quite the ambitious one.
I kinda get it, but I kinda don't.
I heard a bunch of people got worked up at their coming-of-age ceremony,
and went up to the stage, or caused other problems.
Don't they feel any responsibility, now that they're part of the face of Japan?
I wonder why we have to go all the way out to the ceremony site?
Yeah, really.
The coming-of-age ceremony is such a pain. I mean, I don't want to go.
This girl's on her way to becoming a good-for-nothing adult...
Kagami, what are you guys gonna wear to the coming-of-age ceremony?
I'd think since it's a rare occasion, I would wear a long-sleeved kimono...
Since you asked, how about you?
Well, I'm sure Dad will recommend me wearing a long-sleeved kimono.
Yeah, if it's him...
- Yoo-hoo!
- But... - Yoo-hoo!
When you wear a long-sleeved kimono,
it's more of a seven-five-three festival than coming of age.
Happy New Year! Best regards for this year!
Oh, Sis, happy New Year.
Haven't seen you in a while.
Well, my husband was home, and New Year's is busy.
That, and my younger sister caught a fever.
Oh... That's right, she's very frail.
I wasn't trying to weasel my way out of giving you New Year's allowance!
Don't get me wrong on that, okay?!
How the truth comes out, and I didn't even ask...
I guess that's what makes her a cop.
There was a tournament for the 100 poem card game,
and it had a great turnout.
Come to think of it...
When you were a child, Sis,
what did you do for play on New Year's Day?
When I was a child?
Let's see... I did all sorts of stuff... well... um...
Dot... dot... dot... dot...
I'm sorry, I forgot. Clean memory wipe.
Sis really just lives every day in her own groove.
I don't think I've gotten one decent conversation out of her.
I blasted all the memories behind me!
Lucky Star!
Lately, Tsukasa's been cooped up in the kotatsu all the time.
'Cause it's cold.
Oh, I know, I know! Kotatsu are wonderful things.
When you have a kotatsu, even going to the bathroom is tough.
Right, right.
But you shouldn't say stuff like that so loudly...
But there is a killer line in our house
that can move people who are cooped up in a kotatsu.
Really? How does it go?
Konata, if you're planting yourself in the kotatsu too much,
I'll put the kotatsu away!
So he's fine without a kotatsu?
He likes it as much as anyone.
I think it's just as a lesson to be learned.
I mean, sometimes both of us fall asleep while sitting in a kotatsu.
Oh, I can understand.
But they say that you'll catch a cold sleeping in a kotatsu.
Right, right. So when I notice it, I try to make sure to turn it off.
You know, kotatsu carry heaven and hell together in one.
It's like that when you first turn it on as well,
but turned-off kotatsu seem even colder than necessary.
I definitely know how that is!
Isn't it tough to get out of the bed in the morning?
Yeah. When you say that,
the time between the changing room and the bathtub is really cold too.
But you think twice about running around stark naked.
Because it's slippery.
That, and don't you hate it
when you want to go to the bathroom late at night?
Yeah, there's that too!
Hey, guys, we need to get off the bus.
The trip from the bus to the classroom is also hell.
Yeah.
It's almost Valentine's Day.
The air around us gets all colorful this time of the year.
Each and every year,
the hidden anxiety that shows itself every so often
in everyone acting normally really tickles me.
I think it would be really wonderful if you ask someone out
or get asked out, and your feelings for each other go through
on days that everyone finds special, like this one.
Tsukasa, you're such a romantic girl...
Not that I'm going to go calling it a candy-company conspiracy.
Well, if you say that it's special for me as well, it might be.
Every year, the leftover chocolates get really cheap.
The make-your-own chocolate kits are worth aiming for.
Whereas you don't have any dreams at all.
They say that you can't buy love!
But in a way,
Valentine's Day chocolates are a show of love with money.
For someone who's only had romances within games,
that's a pretty harsh thing to say.
Well, in games, getting your impression points up first
is more important than the actual day.
For me, there's not much difference even if it's Valentine's Day.
The boys have too many dreams.
Nobody was able to trigger the Kagami flag, huh?
And what about you? You have something?
Hey, I'm really popular!
Yeah, yeah, that's in your game, right?
Sometimes I seriously worry about your future,
with all your talk of flags and impression points and stuff.
Really, what's with only talking about in-game events?
I hate it when people talk about their biased opinion when they don't know.
Oh, then it's different?
Lately, the in-game time for it has been really short,
so you completely miss Valentine's Day when playing.
So what?
But this year, I have plans to give chocolate to someone.
Seriously?!
Yeah. To someone playing the same online game as me.
To one of your gaming buddies?
Yeah.
Don't tell me, in person?! Yeah.
Don't tell me, in person?!
No, it's not like we're physically going to see each other or anything.
Huh?
I'm going to give chocolate to someone as a character in-game. Huh?
I'm going to give chocolate to someone as a character in-game.
I mean, there's another human playing it, after all.
Can you really say that it's a real person?
In the end, it's just a character in a game.
How dare you talk about my bride that way?!
Huh? Bride?
Yeah. We're married in-game, and I play a male character.
Wait a minute. A guy giving chocolate to a girl?
Or rather, isn't that like a girl giving one to a girl, right?
If the other end is a girl.
Don't worry. My partner is a guy in real life.
Huh?!
Well, for these things, so long as the ones doing it are having fun, it's okay!
That's right!
I want to go overseas.
That's straight out of the blue.
Well, Miyuki-san said yesterday...
It's only in Japan that women give chocolates to men on February 14th.
In Western countries, people give candies and cards
to friends and loved ones, regardless of gender.
I see!
That's what she said,
so even a girl like me would get lots of sweets and stuff, right?
The simplicity of your mind aside,
you really have confidence, in all sorts of ways.
That was based on the premise that you're popular.
It's okay, it's okay!
In foreign countries, smaller girls are...
Okay, stop right there! Dangerous comments are forbidden! In foreign countries, smaller girls are...
Okay, stop right there! Dangerous comments are forbidden!
You're awesome!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Kona-chan, this is for you.
Whoa! Amazing wrapping... is a uniform.
to Kona-chan
It's amazing inside too! Heart-shaped!
I put a little effort into it.
Tsukasa gets pretty elaborate on things like this.
She made lots and lots of them until morning!
Even though they're all obligatory chocolates.
Tsukasa, obligatory or not, don't give these things to any guys.
They'd all get the wrong idea!
What?
Anyway, you can have this.
From Kagami?! For me?! Chocolate?!
Because Tsukasa was making them, I just made some too.
You don't want it?
Oh!
When someone who can do anything does something they're not good at,
it feels like they put in a tremendous effort behind the scenes...
That's Kagami moe...
Shut up! Hush, and put it away!
Huh?
Kagami...
Here, I'll give this to you.
I'm telling you, it's obligatory, okay? Obligatory!
Excuse me for it having such a distorted shape!
You're such a fool... What's more important than shape
is the fact that you made it for me, Hiiragi.
Wha...
Idiot, you idiot, it's not like that at all!
Isn't that what's going on?
Nope. Just shut up and put it away.
I've never experienced something like this before.
The beginning's the most important.
So, did you give chocolates to anyone, Miyuki-san?
I gave some to my father and to a male relative.
I gave some to everyone that's friendly to me every day.
I gave some to you, Tsukasa, and Miyuki.
What, everyone had a very boring Saint Valentine's...
Wait, I don't want to hear that from someone living in the game world.
Come to think of it, your cousin applied to Ryouou, right?
Yeah, she said she got in!
Since her house is a long way from here,
she'll stay at our place starting next month.
She's like a little sister anyway, and our families were talking about it.
Oh, I see.
But compared to you,
isn't it hard to tell which of you is the younger sister?
No, I'm telling you, she's like a little sister, in all sorts of ways.
She's that small?!
But the fact that she got accepted here smoothly
means that your cousin must be really smart!
Depending on how you take that line, it sounds a little egotistical.
Don't you go here too?
I'm sure I just barely made it in!
Entrance exams, huh...
We'll be going through entrance exams next year.
Man, I guess we'll be immersed in studying all year.
Wow, no way.
Entrance exams... Should I take them?
I haven't thought of my future plans at all.
I think it's better for you to seriously think about your future, okay?
Well, the words "academic" and "labor" don't exist in my dictionary.
What kind of future does that kind of person have in store?
A game creator based on hobbies and her actual skills?
Well, in actuality, it's a hobby in some way or another. A game creator based on hobbies and her actual skills?
Or a self-proclaimed manga artist that only makes money at Comiket?
Megassa, undara, cheese nyoro-n... Or a self-proclaimed manga artist that only makes money at Comiket?
Or maybe she'll use her curiosity as a report writer?
There is only one truth! Yeah, this has to be it! Or maybe she'll use her curiosity as a report writer?
No, how about an author whose popularity spikes like the tip of a pin?
Well, in this day and age, you have to go with the light novels! No, how about an author whose popularity spikes like the tip of a pin?
Since she's good with computers, maybe a web designer?
I won't compromise on this point! Since she's good with computers, maybe a web designer?
Or a scriptwriter that uses lots of small everyday events
Oh, I'm sure if I shoot enough bullets, one of them will hit! Or a scriptwriter that uses lots of small everyday events
Oh, I'm sure if I shoot enough bullets, one of them will hit! instead of an actual story?
Or the impossible, moving on to college...
Wait, all of them are the same image!
What is it?
What's up?!
Manager! It's Legendary Girl A! She's here again!
What?!
We let her slip out of our hands last time...
- Manager!
- Today will be the day - Manager!
- Today will be the day
that we will have THE Legendary Girl A
make it all the way to the goal named the cash register!
Giro.
She seems to be indecisive about something.
Then we should solve her indecision for her!
All right, everyone, raise your voices! Let's go!
- Yes!
- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! - Yes!
- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! - Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, we say, yeah!
Manager, I'll go check out Legendary Girl A's purchase target for today.
Good. I'm counting on you.
New comics in stock?
Sir! That would be Sgt. Frog volume 14!
All right! Lift up the height of the flat stacks
so that they get in Legendary Girl A's line of sight!
And put up a pop-up banner as well!
Equipment complete!
...sir!
All right! Observe her actions for now.
Furthermore, put all the hot sellers along the path
that Legendary Girl A will take from there to the cash register!
Roger!
...sir!
Manager! The purchase target of Legendary Girl A is not a comic!
What?!
Manager! Her target has shifted to DVDs!
All right! Just to be on the safe side, shut off all side corridors,
so that Legendary Girl A can head straight to the new release DVD area!
Roger!
...sir!
Oh, my apologies!
Tama! Tama!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
- Gero gero gero gero, gemarincho! - Tama tama tama tama, tamarincho!
DVD New Releases
All right, all right!
DVD New Releases
Manager!
Finally, she picked up some merchandise!
Finally, I have become victorious today!
My comrades, let us drink the sweet wine of victory tonight!
- Yes! - Yes, sir!
It was a feint!
This calls for the last resort!
Now... Bring me the that bargain ultra-rare out-of-print DVD!
Manager, she's heading to the cash register.
Yes... That's it!
This is such an emotional scene!
Right now, the entire United States within me is cheering and applauding!
All right!
...sir!
That will be 1785 yen!
Oh, I'm three yen short.
I'm sorry, can you put that back?
We'll be back!
Lucky Star!
Lucky Channel!
Morning luckies!
Yes, we're going to cheerfully bring it to you again.
Times pass by so quickly that Lucky Channel is already on its 13th episode!
Yes, your navigator is your well-acquainted Akira Kogami!
And...
Yes! I'm Minoru Shiraishi, assistant to Akira-sama!
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) Yes! I'm Minoru Shiraishi, assistant to Akira-sama!
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) Nice to see all of you!
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) That's right, times pass quickly and we're already on episode 13.
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) We're going to enter the second season!
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) How to put it, is it like reaching the halfway station on Mt. Fuji?
(d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill, d-d-drill) Akira-sama?
Huh? Mt. Fuji? You can get to the halfway station by car.
Oh, yes, that's true, but...
(d-d-drill, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d... ) Oh, yes, that's true, but...
(d-d-drill, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d... ) Oh! That's right! I climbed up Mt. Takao for starters.
Huh? Don't you have something to notice before all of that?
(d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-drill... ) Oh... you're right...
(d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-drill... ) Well, um, how to say it, your twin drills are really nice, Akira-sama!
How is it good? In what way?
Oh, it's all wound up like a seashell...
Huh?!
Oh, well... oh!
That's right...
Today we're announcing the results of the special plan we had,
the Lucky Star action figure project!
Lucky Star Action Figure Project Konata, a dignified first place!
We'll have you, Akira-sama, make the announcement right away!
Yes, the honorable character that will become an action figure
Oh, Akira-sama, please read it properly! Yes, the honorable character that will become an action figure
Oh, Akira-sama, please read it properly! is Miss Konata Izumi...
Congratulations!
I knew this would happen.
What is this? A fixed race?
No, no, no... What is this? A fixed race?
No, no, no... So in the end, the radio and this segment
are less important than the main show or something?
That's not the case at all, okay?
Yes, yes.
See, the producer is telling us so too.
Yeah, yeah, I'll be fooled as many times as you want.
I'm used to getting betrayed, after all.
Fooled? That's such a disgraceful way to put it.
Or rather, you haven't had some sort of blueprint in your head
like you'd get yourself made into an action figure or anything, right?!
Oh, no, of course not!
Yes, the action figure will be that of Miss Konata Izumi.
And, as a booby prize, an action figure of Minoru Shiraishi?!
What is the meaning of this?!
Well...
Oh! It's already time for us to say goodbye.
And so, we ask that you continue to send us your impressions,
encouragement, and opinions about the program!
We accept them on our homepage, among other places!
Right, Akira-sama?
I'm going home.
Wait a minute!
Bye-nee!
Akira-sama, please wait...
Okay, all staff gather around! Akira-sama, please wait...
Okay, all staff gather around!
Drill...
clap clap - Meaningless handclaps
Wa-wa-wa...
Wa-wa-wawawawawawa...
S-s-s-something forgotten
My, my something I forgot
That day, that time, I left it behind
A fragment of a memory
Snap A fragment of a memory
It's all gone
With that girl
The red setting sun is somehow really bright
He's too rowdy. The red setting sun is somehow really bright
Don't make eye contact with him. The red setting sun is somehow really bright
Jougashima of love
A couple that graciously consented to appear in this footage. He's a fool
A couple that graciously consented to appear in this footage. Laugh at me like that
[crashing wave] That's what is fitting for me
[crashing wave] A wall that he can't overcome. That's what is fitting for me
[crashing wave] That's what is fitting for me
But...
A wall that he can't overcome.
Once in a while, embrace me gently
Shiraishi, you didn't?! Once in a while, embrace me gently
Shiraishi, you didn't?!
You're spineless!
Next Episode Preview
Now, what's up with the next episode of Sgt. Frog?
No, that's not it!
It should be the next episode of Lucky Star, right?
Gero gero! I've thought of something wonderful!
Japanese anime is now a global motion picture industry.
We can use this to brainwash the people of Pekopon,
and that will end the conquest of Pekopon in one sweep.
Sergeant, you're so smart!
How stupid. As a military man,
do it like a military man and pull it off with military power!
Quiet, you red daruma!
In this era, those that seize information, seize the battle.
You might not understand that with your old-fashioned head, Giroro.
Damn you, when I let you talk...
And so, the next episode: Under One Roof.
Under One Roof
Look forward to it!
Ge-gero!
