These days, no matter what I'm doing Saikin boku wa nani o suru koto ni mo
His face keeps popping up Aitsu no kao ga dete kuru
Twenty-four hours is chock-full oftime Niijyuu-yoijikan to iu gisshiri no ijikan mo
But he's tied it all up Aitsu ga shimete shimatta
Now, I'm gonna start working Saa shigoto o haijimeyou
But he always gets in my way Dakedo aitsu ga ijama o shite shimau
I'm a really, really, really, really hard worker Bari bari bari bari no shigoto ningen desu
No matter what I'm doing, Nani o suru no mo aitsu no koto
I can't help but think about him... kangaete shimatte boku ga
...and my mind is filled with him aitsu de ippai ni naru
I ijust can't do anything now... Tonikaku ima wa aitsu ga ite kurenai
...unless he's there for me to boku wa nani mo dekinai
He's always there inside... Aitsu ga boku no naka ni
...me, me, me, me, me, me, me iru iru iru iru iru iru iru
I guess it's almost Christmas.
Yeah.
Ran, what're you doing for Christmas Eve?
Ruling the parties all over Shibuya, of course.
We'll be doing a party too, so I hope you all come.
Really?!
In that case, let's invite Otohata, too!
Let's!
I-I don't know...
I haven't asked what his plans are yet...
Eh, he's got that attitude, so...
"Well, I've got work,"
or something like that is what I'd expect from him.
But I guess it won't hurt to invite him.
Yeah. Just getting to see him on Christmas Eve would make me happy.
It'll be a miracle if he says okay.
Yay! Make miracle!
That's so old.
Obsolete.
What are you going to do with Tatsukichi?
Huh? With Tatsukichi?
Come to think of it, it's your first Christmas...
...since you got together.
You've got something planned, of course. Right?
For his present?
Presen...
I knew it, you forgot. I knew it, you forgot.
Hah! It's not my style to give gifts to guys.
Besides, when you think about it,
what's up with those couples that split...
...just because they didn't get a present for Christmas?
You're just acting tough, aren't you?
You're actually just poor, aren't you?
Jingle bell! Jingle bell!
Oh, Ran. She's so transparent.

Next up in the news...
Last night, before dawn,
a Japanese macaque was sighted in the residential area ofMeguro District.
This monkey is thought to be...
December Monkey Commotion This monkey is thought to be...
December Monkey Commotion the one that escaped from Mr. Funakoshi's home in Setagaya District...
December Monkey Commotion ...and his name is Monkichi.
His name's Monkichi!
Currently, his owner, Mr. Funakoshi, and public health center personnel...
You guys, take a look at this! Currently, his owner, Mr. Funakoshi, and public health center personnel...
You guys, take a look at this! are continuing to search for him,
What's this?
but Monkichi's whereabouts are as yet unknown.
What are you all watching? but Monkichi's whereabouts are as yet unknown.
We at the station here will be standing by for information from you.
Huh, then there's a good chance he's still in the Metropolitan area.
It's almost Christmas, too.
It must be rough, both for the people and the monkey.
His name's Monkichi!
He looks just like Tatsukichi!
A commotion over a monkey is what I call peaceful.
I'd love it if no more big cases come along...
...and we can safelywelcome the newyear.
How about it, Ran?
Care to have an earnest discussion about crime prevention in Japan?
What I want to discuss in earnest...
...is about increasing my allowance rather than crime prevention.
So you spent it all immediately yet again!
Ooh, correct! That's my old man!
Take that!
Aw, man...
You think you can protect the future of Japan with money-sense like that?!
I keep telling you that I'm not becoming a police officer!
It would be better for Japan if she didn't.
How about you make hand-made sweets like Sayo?
I'm practicing making the cookies and Christmas cake for Masato, datchu.
It's filled with Sayo's love, datchu.
Love, huh?
I see...
If it's stuff like this, it'll be easy, even for me.
Let's see...
Dump in flour...
Dump in sugar...
Dump a bunch of eggs...
And mix it like crazy!
Y-You have to make it more carefully, datchu!
There's no love in that!
Oh, damn!
This is so cute and cool!
Hey, hey, lady, I want this one.
That's exactly 10,000.
What?!
Aw, that's way expensive!
I can't get it! One too many zeros!
Oh, goodbye, my bracelet.
Man, I really wanted that bracelet.
Rei-pyon!
R-Rei-pyon?
I'm in Iuck! I was just looking for you!
First it was Ototchi and now it's Rei-pyon?
Give me a break.
Oh, that's right. Hang on a sec.
I'm the middle of a shoot, you know.
Ta-da! I baked some cookies for the first time in my life!
Cookie? This thing?
It's still a prototype, but taste test it for me.
I told you I'm in the middle of a shoot...
There! I told you I'm in the middle of a shoot...
There!
How is it? Majorly yummy?
Majorly yucky.
So mean! Maybe that one explosion wasn't good, after all.
Don't make me eat something that exploded!
By the way, about Christmas Eve...
There's going to be a party at Palm Tree, so...
Impossible.
Come on, you could pop in to say "hi" at least.
I'm working Christmas Eve.
Come to the party! Don't be so cold!
Quit it. You'll stretch my clothes.
Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!
Oh, alright already. Give me a break. Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!
For real?!
Yay! Thanks!
Shoot. It just slipped out.
Huh? Hey, I forget, is Ran your girlfriend?
Nope.
Say, we're doing a story for the special bumper issue of Street GALS.
Since you're here anyway, how about a photo with the two ofyou?
What? I dunno...
Leave me out of this.
We'll pay you in chocolate.
Okay! Chocolate's the best!
Gag... For real?
I love chocolate!
Okay, here we go.
Shibuya's number one!
This sucks.
Here's your chocolate.
Yay! Thankyou!
Ran-pyon...
Hey, it's Santa!
It's a tan face Santa!
Give us something! Give us something!
It looked like she fed Ototchi a hand-made cookie...
Come on, give us something!
There!
Hey, this Santa's blond!
And she was showing her best smile...
The eyebrows came off.
The beard came off!
The street corner photo was both of them together, too...
Crushed...
Huh?
Is that you, Tatsukichi?
W-What's wrong?
Brother!
What the heck is going on?!
Brother, wait for me!
Hey! S-Stay away!
Stop!
The dummy brothers...
Oh, that sounds like you might be dumped-ish.
After all, we're talking about Rei Otohata, right?
Ouch.
We can't know that just yet, Mami-rin.
Just based on what he's wearing right now,
you can already tell he's a no-good guy.
No-good Guy
O-Ouch!
Gals don't hang with no-good guys.
Max ouch!
Come on, Mami-rin, you're going too far.
But it's true...
I've been thinking lately...
That maybe when it comes to crucial moments, I haven't been that useful.
I wonder if I'm really fulfilling my role as Ran's boyfriend.
S-Still, why are you worried about Rei?
I don't think you need to let it get to you so much.
No, no, according to my Machida Black Sixth Sense,
I feel like Ototchi understands Ran better than I do.
That means I...
...don't stand a chance!
That's a crab!
Tatsukichi...
Hey, monkey!
Love can make a person both weaker and stronger!
But how you change depends on what effort you make.
You pursue someone with your heart and soul,
and only then will that person notice you!
That's when you'll know how they really feel!
Mami-rin...
Saying those small-minded things based on nothing but gut instinct...
...means you're a no-good guy, after all!
Shock!
Oh, I just spoke some awesomelywise words.
Mami-rin, that last bitwas unnecessary.
I'm going back to Machida...
Hey, Tatsukichi...
Go home, go home, go home!
No-good guys should go back to their monkey mountain!
Tatsukichi...
Ook.
Say, Miyu, was your scholarship okay?
The thing is...
My grades from the second term...
...were super right on the line...
But they said they'll fund me again!
What?! Really?! What?! Really?!
I'm so glad for you!
What the heck?! You scared us!
What's with you, Ran?
I got singled out to get extra homework.
Seriously, give me a break.
Your report card was a parade of ducks again, right?
Modern Classical Math I Physics Japan Japanese Japanese History Your report card was a parade of ducks again, right?
Modern Classical Math I Physics Japan Japanese Japanese History
Done!
Yamato's Christmas present!
That's incredible!
What a super serious piece of work!
After all... it's stuffed full of Miyu's love!
Love, huh?
You're saying the same thing as Sayo.
So you haven't prepared anything for Tatsukichi after all?
Talk about cold, man.
Say, why don't you knit a scarf or something for him with this?
No way, ain't happening. No way, ain't happening.
No matter how hard she works at it, there's no way Ran can knit a scarf.
Even I could knit a piddly scarf, if I put my mind to it!
Um, right, right, right, put it through that hole...
No, no, that stitch...
Ran...
How did it end up this way?!
And
Faithful Dog Hachikou
Merry Christmas!
Wow, so Otohata's going to come, too.
I'm happy for you, Aya.
Thanks!
Let's have a fun party.
Yes! Yes!
Ran Kotobuki, your rule will end with this year!
Now the trap is all ready.
Kotobuki will come.
I'll cut the rope.
It'll hit Kotobuki.
Kotobuki will cry.
Perfect!
On gorgeous Christmas Eve,
she'll be covered in raw garbage and face total humiliation!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Damn that Tatsukichi, he's so late!
I've had a hard time getting ahold of him on his cell lately, too.
Could it be that he didn't read the e-mail?
Oh?
What a rare sight.
Is the superstar of Shibuya all alone on Christmas Eve?
Shut up! I'm waiting for Tatsukichi!
Tatsukichi?
Oh, if it's that no-good guy, I think he went back to Machida.
He might not be coming back.
What?
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
Beats me.
He was saying stuff like, "I'm not worthy of being Ran's boyfriend."
And something about, "I don't stand a chance against Otohata."
Huh?! Jeez, he's not making any sense!
Ran!
Hachi, this might be my last goodbye.
In the end, I'm just a newcomer.
And I'm the kind of man who's mistaken for a Kanagawa resident...
...when I'm actually a resident of Machida.
Goodbye, Hachi. Goodbye, Shibuya.
And goodbye, my beloved Ran-pyon.
There you are!
You...
...big idiot!
What the hell are you getting the wrong idea about?!
You're going back to Machida?!
Get real!
B-But Ran-pyon...
You'd be totally cool even if I wasn't around.
Totally cool?! And you know this how?!
Don't just decide stuff like that on your own, you dumbass!
I like you and I'm totally into you.
But...
But you've never once said that you like me or anything!
And then... seriously...
...it makes me start to wonder ifyou're okaywith me.
T-That I like you...?
That I like you...
That's too embarrassing!
I can't say it!
I'm bad with lovey lines, but I'll say this much!
Listen up! I...
Ran...
I-I'm...
...not just okaywith you, I thinkyou're a-okay!
For real?
So don't cry.
Today's Christmas Eve, you know.
Ran-pyon!
Here, you can have this.
A hand-knitted scarfthat I made.
I had a super hard time with it, you know.
I'm really touched by that, but...
Tatsukichi's over here.
Monkey?!
Ook!
The whereabouts ofthe monkey, Monkichi,
who is thought to have moved from Meguro District to Shibuya yesterday,
are as ofyet unknown.
Here on the show,
we are continuing to wait for information from our viewers.
Hey, is this that Monkichi?! we are continuing to wait for information from our viewers.
Monkichi?
Furthermore, the owner, Mr. Funakoshi,
has said that he will present whoever catches the monkey
with 50,000 yen as a reward.
For real?!
Here is a photo ofMonkichi.
Ook!
Hey, hold it!
Ook, ook, ook!
50,000 yen!
Give back my scarf!
What a peaceful Christmas Eve.
Looks like I'll get to go on a date with Miyu today without any mishaps.
W-W-W-What's going on?!
The monkey! The monkey! You lend a hand, too!
Gag! Is this for real?!
Wait for me, my destiny, Sayo-sayo!
It's cold! Hurry up and get here!
Sayo-sayo, this time for sure, I'll tell you how I feel and...
Merry Christmas, my...
Ta-da! Sayo's specially-made special cake, datchu!
Sayo, you're amazing!
At the top is a lovey-dovey figure of Sayo and Masato, datchu!
What?! Lovey-dovey figure?!
Masato, you're still the best boyfriend, datchu!
B-Boyfriend...?
At this rate, before I can make her a laughingstock,
I'm going to end up freezing to death!
Ook.
Monkey?
Monkichi!
Here she comes!
Hold it right there!
Now!
Scarf!
This hurts!
Huh? Didn't you know?
Sayo and Masato have been dating for a long time now, datchu.
That would hurt, wouldn't it?
Ook!
Hold it right there!
Why didn't it snap?!
Shoot! I should've sharpened the scissors properly! It's so unfair!
What in the world is going on?
Monkey! The monkey! The one in the news!
Catch it and we get 50,000 yen!
I don't give a damn about the monkey!
Hurry up and get back here, Kotobuki!
Ook.
Hey, get down here!
What happened to you, Tatsukichi?
You've become so small!
Tatsukichi's over here.
Gotcha!
Oh, sorry. My mistake.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Detective Masato, protect the special cake, datchu!
Roger!
Sayo-sayo... My destiny...
Ook?
The 50,000 yen is mine!
Ook!
Hey! Sis, you idiot!
He ran away!
Thank you for coming...
Hold it right there!
Yamato!
I'm sorry, Miyu.
I don't think I can see you until I catch the monkey.
It's okay. I understand.
But at least accept Miyu's present.
I've got a present for you, too.
Please accept it.
Here.
Yamato!
It's a sweater that Miyu hand-knitted.
Thanks, Miyu!
That's a personal organizer for next year.
I'll call you later!
I'll cherish it, Yamato!

The End
We've finally got him cornered.
We have to move carefully.
Hold on a second there!
Y-You're...
Monkichi's probably just shaken up by the urban jungle.
Ifyou talk to him calmly, he'll understand.
T-Talkto him?
Ook? Ook? Ook, ook, ook?
Ook...? Ook, ook, ook.
Ook.
Ook...
Ook!
Ook, ook, ook.
Amazing! It looks like you got though to him.
Thatwas awesome, Tatsukichi!
You're not a monkey for nothing!
I'm so glad that I got back the scarfyou made.
D'you fall in love with me all over again?
Hey, hey, buy me a bracelet with the reward money!
It's 10,000 yen.
Leave it to me! You got it!
And now, let us formally begin the Palm Tree Christmas Party!
Why didn't anyone notice me?!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
I saved the part where your face hit it, Sis.
Talk about an awful face!
It looks pretty dumb.
I gotta admit it looks lame.
I lost to the monkey.
Lucky! It looks just like Ran-pyon! Monkey!
Are we a bakappuru?
Bakappuru?
Yay! Yay!
Couple! Couple! Bakappuru! Yay! Couple! Couple! Bakappuru! Yay!
Looks like Ran and Tatsukichi worked things out.
Were they having a fight or something?
First I've heard of it.
Well, it was a case of Tatsukichi jumping to conclusions, but...
Maybe it wasn't really.
It was Tatsukichi's wild instinct.
Say, Rei, which do you like?
Beats me. I don't know what you're talking about.
You're so good at dodging questions.
What do you mean?
Ook!
I hate it, you're always laughing Daikirai anata itsumo waratte ite
And so strong and cute and popular Tsuyokute kawaikute ninki-mono de
I hate it, I'm so dull and slow Daikirai watashi guzu de noroma de
And no one needs me... Dare ni mo hitsuyou to saretenai
You're smart and always so perfect Atama mo yokute itsumo suki ga nakute
People probablyijust make fun ofme Watashi nado kitto baka ni sareteru
To be honest, I want to try talking to you Hontou wa hanashi-kakete-mitakute
I want to become friends with you Tomodachi ni naritai to omottete
I was so envious ofyou Urayamashiku omotteta anata ga
And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone Hitori kata furuwasete naite ita yo
Tell me, are you alone and afraid, too? Nee anata mo hitori obieteru no
Is everyone miserable and weak? Minna miijime de yowai no kana
If only I had more courage Motto yuuki ga atta nara
I would have given you a hug Watashi anata dakishimeteta
Next Super GALS! Happy joyous New Year's!
Next Super GALS! And the highlight's got to be the New Year's gift!
Next Super GALS! But Sayo's unlucky!
She's not satisfied with getting less than her older sister.
It's not enough money for the "Odaiba Cop" DVD and she can't get it!
Seeking happiness, what she got was a fortune bag.
Inside she finds a weird ball.
This ball just happens to hit our heads...
...and Sayo and my souls are exchanged!
What the heck is going on here, datchu?!
