Hashizou's Birthday
Hey, Gou, don't forget to be at Mambou by six, okay?
Yeah, don't worry. I won't forget.
Hurry up, Hashizou!
I'm going now! Bye!
Don't hurt yourself from getting too excited!
Okay!
Huh? Insufficient funds?
Oh, oops!
I forgot about that new amplifier I bought.
This is not good.
I haven't bought Hashizou a birthday present yet.
My heart will turn these rags to riches.. something like that.
Daddy! Breakfast is ready.
Oh, time to eat?
I have to eat well so I can keep up my strength today!
Any particular reason you're so peppy this morning?
Why of course there is, Yakko.
Today is Hashizou's birthday.
So the restaurant has to look its best.
And I have to outdo myself when I make him the best pork omelet in Japan!
So I can't let myself slack off today even the tiniest bit.
Oh boy. Just remember that tonight is a long way off, so don't wear yourself out.
And who are you to say I should calm down?
I don't think you're excited enough !
Party pooper!
Don't say such silly things. Now come on and eat. The shop isn't going anywhere.
Humph. Giving me that look as if she were my wife. It's just not right. I said I'd be right.. Ack!
I told you so.
Just you wait...
Lady Orihime.
Lord Kengyuu.
I love you.
They proclaimed their mutual love.
Every year on the night of Tanabata..
..Kengyuu and Orihime are allowed to cross the Milky Way..
..in order to see each other.
It's a happy night, since they don't get to see each other very often.
Within the twinkling Milky Way.
How happy they must be, right?
As the Milky Way quietly flows around them.
Kengyuu and Orihime...
Spend their time together having lots of fun, listening..
..to each other sing and play musical instruments.
Hashizou!
Kaoru!
Hashizou! Ooph.
But they also know that their time together will soon be over.
Farewell, Lady Orihime.
Be well, Lord Kengyuu!
Despite the barrier between them, they know that their love..
..will bring them together time and time again.
So ends our tale of Orihime and Kengyuu.
Today is Tanabata. Not to mention...
It's Hashizou's birthday!
That's right! Hashizou, come up here, please.
Yes, ma'am!
Happy birthday!
Thank you very much!
I drew these story pages myself.
I'd like to give them to you as a birthday present.
Thank you so much.
Gou, today is Hashizou's birthday, isn't it?
Got a present for him yet?
No, not yet.
Really? Today is Hashizou's birthday, huh?
Yeah.
What's wrong? You look kinda down.
Hey, everyone! Good news!
Huh?
Hmm?
Hey, guys, how would you like to perform at the Asahina Music Hall?
Eh?
Who, us?
Mm-hm.
Do you really think we can handle performing at such a reknowned music hall?
Yeah, but we have to act fast.
It's tonight.
Tonight?
To tell you the truth...
It just so happens that another rock group had to cancel..
..so they need a replacement.
Of course, it's just the opening act, but..
..it's still a good opportunity.
They even said that just playing your normal set should be fine.
It really sounds good.
But tonight's not a good night.
Huh?
Oh.
You'll be well compensated.
They're paying cash on the spot.
Really? Cash on the spot?
You bet.
Hmm..
Hey, Gou.
Hmm?
Let's do it. This is a great opportunity.
Yeah, let's!
Let's do this!
Mmm...
We'll do it.
Good, it's decided, then. I'll go let them know.
Well then, let's give this rehearsal our all!
Okay.
Let's go!
I'm telling you, I'm at Mambou right now.
The line's busy, huh?
I'll already be an hour late..
..and I'll still need to get Hashizou a present.
Guess I'll just try again later.
It's my birthday! I'm so happy it's my birthday!
I sure got a lot of presents, didn't I, Juliano?
We'd better hurry and get to the restaurant.
Aren't birthdays great?
I'm back!
Hey, Hashizou. Welcome back!
Guess what, old man? My friends at kinder- garten gave me a whole bunch of presents!
Wow, that's great, Hashizou!

Pork Omelet
Oh, this is a picture story, isn't it?
Miss Kumiko made it herself.
My, what a valuable gift.
Ah, hang on a sec, Jules.
Hey, it looks like you got a coloring book, origami, and a Bamboo-copter.
Not to mention a cold drink and an eraser.
What a haul! It's like a magic bag or something.
Yup! They're all presents from my friends!
Really?
Oh! Hashizou!
Happy birthday!
Here's a present for you.
Wow, thanks! I wonder what it is.
Go ahead and open it.
Okay!
Ah. Juliano!
What's gotten into him, making a fuss like that?
Ah...
Looks like something really set him off, doesn't it?
What's he so upset about?
Why would wishing Hashizou a happy birthday ruffle his fur?
Ah, Juliano!
Shouldn't you go follow him?
Yeah. Hashizou!
Juliano!
Juliano, wait up!
Juliano! Juliano, where are you?
Juliano!
Ah-ha!
Juliano!
Hey, wait. Juliano!
Okay then.
Ack, I'm stuck!
Owie ow. I can't move!
Ah, Hashizou!
Oh, ouch! I can't move.
Help me!
Juliano.. help me, please.
I'm stuck!
That hurts!
Thanks, Juliano.
Please don't leave me, Juliano.
I didn't mean to ignore you today.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Juliano.
Say, Juliano, do you remember my first birthday after you came to live with us?
Come on. Gou was busy, so it was just the two of us, remember?
This one's for me, and that one's for you, Juliano.
But today my friends at kindergarten..
..and Yakko just gave me a bunch of presents, didn't they?
I was so happy..
..it just slipped my mind. I'm so sorry, Juliano.
You don't have an official birthday.
Or at least, nobody knows when it is.
Poor guy.
Hashizou.
If Juliano doesn't have an actual birthday..
..why don't you and I give him one?
Eh?
Let's make it July 7th.
That way you would have the same birthday.. today!
That's a wonderful idea!
It's decided, then. From now on, today's birthday party is in both of your honor.
Brought to you by: Kofuku Fansubs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's you, Yakko.
Mm-hm. I see. Well that's good.
It was thoughtless of me not to consider Jules' feelings.
Anyway, hurry up and get back here!
I'll even make a five-layer "cake" made of pork omelets especially for Jules.
It's still busy? Just my luck.
What's up? You still haven't been able to get a hold of Hashizou?
Mambou's phone line has been busy this whole time.
That's too bad. It's almost time for the party.
Well, it's not your fault that you can't get through, right?
I guess.
Come on, let's go.
Okay.
I just wish I'd been able to get through in time.
Geez.. down, Juliano. It's not ready yet.
Juliano!
Oh.
Hey, Yakko, it's about time for that not-so-bad guy with the wild hair to arrive. Speed it up, okay?
Okay.
It won't be long now, Hashizou. Juliano.
Hey...
Oooh, something is dawning in the dazzling sunset.
(Freeway)
Oooh, let's embrace the racing of our hearts.
(Accel)
We only..
Geez...
Mr. Gou sure is late.
Yeah...
Freeway! Freeway!
Sixty miles to go.
Freeway! Freeway!
Just one mile to go!
Freeway! Freeway!
I need your love toni..!
What the heck is he doing ?
It's way past the time he promised to be here. No wonder I don't like that wild-haired punk.
I'm sorry he's so late.
Goodness, it's okay. It's not your fault, after all.
But...
That's right. There's no need to worry yourself over such a little thing.
Hey, Daddy..
..it's okay if he's just late, but what if..?
Eh?!
D.. don't be stupid. Get those kind of thoughts out of your head right now.
I'm going to call Loose and see what's going on.
Hello? My name is Mitamura Yaeko, and...
What? Mr. Gou isn't there?
Yeah. Okay.
That's awful!
That's...
That's just cruel!
Wh.. what is it, Yakko?
That wild-haired bastard forgot about Hashizou's birthday, didn't he?
Yes, I understand.
What happened?
Geez.. I won't let Mr. Gou get away with this!
Hello? I have a favor to ask.
I need to speak with Katou Gou, the vocalist of Bee Hive.
As a parent, I'm about to lose my temper. Oi, Yakko!
If you need me to talk some sense into him, I'd be more than happy to!
I don't need your help, Daddy!
Yes, ma'am.
This is between me and Mr. Gou!
Okay.
Ah, Mr. Gou?
Just what do you have to say for yourself?
Now, you have every reason to be upset with me.
There's no excuse for my behavior.
It's all my own fault. I'm sorry.
Please, accept my apology, because I need a favor.
A favor? You've gotta be kidding me!
Eh?
Why that..!
Oh. Well, if that's the case...
Okay, that's fine.
Okay.
What happened, Yakko?
If he's not ashamed of himself, I'll make him be!
Daddy?
What? I'm ready for anything.
I'm sorry, but could you go get some fancy smoked tuna and grade-A pork?
What?
Well, Hashizou got a present, but..
..Juliano hasn't yet, has he?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Oh, Yakko? Um...
Huh?
So what happened on the phone just now?
Ah, Mr. Gou said..
..he'll be here in about half an hour.
So please, Daddy?
Okay, Hashizou..
..let's go for a walk.
All right.
C'mon, let's go. Are you coming with us, Juliano?
Now I have to hurry and get things ready.
Thank you very much.
Office
Hey, I got our pay!
Let's divvy it up.
All right, guys, this is for Hashizou's birthday party.
Yeah!
Hey, now. What do you guys think you're doing?
Don't worry about it. Come on, hurry up.
Er, okay.
Hashizou is Bee Hive's mascot.
We'll celebrate his birthday in style.
We're coming, Hashizou!
Asahina Music Hall
Yahoo!
Hashizou's waiting for us!
You guys...
Thank you.
Gou, why are you so late?
I wish he'd hurry up.
Geez...
I wonder what held him up, don't you?
If I could, I would take him to task for making a child feel so sad.
He sucks at being a big brother, for crying out loud.
But what can you expect from guys with wild or shaggy hair, anyway?
Here, don't be shy. Take my hand.
Huh?
Why is the whole building dark?
I don't think there's a power outage, but..
..it looks like no one's home.
It's pitch black.
Hey, Yakko, what's going on?
Hashizou. Juliano.
Happy birthday.
Congratulations!
Gou...
Wh.. what's the meaning of this?
I'm really sorry for being late, old man.
As you should be!
Hashizou.
Everyone in Bee Hive came up with this especially for you.
Really?
We're sorry for taking Gou away..
..from you so much, Hashizou.
Hashizou, Sammy and the others..
..didn't think it was fair that our obligations as a band..
..interfered with me being here for your birthday.
Huh?
This is their way of making it up to you.
Wow, that's awesome!
This is like a dream come true.
I've never seen anything like this!
It's amazing!
Yay!
Hmm? Oh.
Is that why you sent me on an errand, Yakko?
I just came up with that on the spur of the moment.
What? The spur of the moment?
Now I get it. He asked you to come up with something while you were on the phone, didn't he?
It's wonderful to see Gou and Yakko getting along.
Mmm.. I don't know about that.
Humph.
Well, the night's not getting any younger.
I'll give it my all tonight, for Hashizou and Juliano's sake.
I'm gonna feed all you guys until you pop, even if it kills me!
Oh don't say such silly things.
What'll you do if everyone gets a stomachache?
Oops, maybe not, then.
I guess the joke's on me.
But I'm so happy I could cry.
Gou.
Huh? What is it?
Well, you see, I'd really like to formally thank everyone.
Are you sure?
Of course!
Go ahead and use this, Hashizou.
Okay.
Er.. um...
Thank you so very much.
This is the happiest birthday I've ever had.
I'm overwhelmed.
I'd also like to congratulate Gou and Yakko..
..on their future baby.
Eh?!
What?!
He.. he's just kidding around.
Hashizou...
Now that was awkward.
And, well, I'd also like to say...
I'd like to spend many more years with Gou, so..
..I'd love to say that I'll be a good boy from now on, but...
Er, I...
I don't know if I will!
That was great, Hashizou!
Hey, Hashizou..
..that was pretty good for your first time giving a formal thank you.
Please, Mr. Milky Way.
You see, unlike the couple who only get to see each other..
..on Tanabata, I hope that Gou and Yakko are always together..
..and are the best of friends.

So give it your all, Mr. Gou!
