My Lonely Heart
Where will it fall..?
Hmm.. looks like it's gonna be slow today. Ouch!
Ow! It's gonna be just one of those days.
I'd like you to break up with Gou.
Gou is the lead vocalist of Bee Hive.
He is a star. Or rather, he is on the path to becoming a superstar.
So he absolutely cannot marry anyone right now.
Or rather, he shouldn't.
You'll break up with Gou, won't you?
I can't go out with Mr. Gou anymore.
I'll never see his face again.
Or hear the sound of his voice.
Ah, there we go. Hey, Yakko!
Virtue
I made some tea. Come on down here.
Along with those salty rice crackers you like.
Perfect for a little father-daughter bonding time.
Ah!
What?
What on earth did you do to your hair? Is something..?
Nothing's wrong.
You may say nothing's wrong, but...
I just got sick of my old hairstyle.
Really? Any particular reason why?
If I got sick of it, I got sick of it!
Yakko.
It's a free country, isn't it?
There's no need to get so worked up about it, is there?
I'm going out for a bit.
Hey, Yakko! What about..?
Sheesh. What's up with her?
Yakko!
Oh, Hashizou!
Where's Yakko going?
Something probably came up, or something like that.
Now come on inside.
Okay!
Was there something you wanted to ask Yakko?
I wanted her to read this, but...
It's okay if you read it instead!
Huh? Then let's see.
Hmm...
Ah, it's an invitation to your school's Sports Day!
Yup! It's this coming Sunday.
All righty then! I'll come cheer you on!
What events are you in, Hashizou?
Umm.. I'm gonna be in..!
Huh?
Yeah, yeah. I'll make you one right now.
Breaking up with Mr. Gou...
I know that's what he told me to do, but I don't even want to think about it right now.
Actually, I don't ever want to think about it.
I'll always feel that way.
Those are my thoughts on the matter.
Here ya go!
Now eat up.
Though the weather outside is horrible, isn't it?
I wonder if the weather will be good on Sports Day.
It'll be fine. It's raining so much today..
..it'll be absolutely gorgeous weather on Sports Day.
That's right!
But...
Huh? What is it, Hashizou?
Will Yakko really come and watch me?
Of course she will!
Wild horses couldn't keep her away!
You're right!
Now hurry and eat.
Okay!
Coming!
I'm Mrs. Tono. Who's there?
It's me, Isuzu.
Oh my, Yakko!
What are you doing out there in the rain?
Well, I...
Well don't just stand there, come in!
C'mon!
Please excuse the mess.
Isuzu.
Oh, what is it?
I...
Huh?
Er.. oh, sorry!
Geez, I swear this rain's never gonna let up.
And I don't know how he gets his clothes so dirty!
I swear, it's like having a kid already!
But honestly, married life is awesome!
Though I never thought it would keep me so busy!
Cleaning, laundry, shopping, cooking...
There's always something to do.
I'll make some tea.
Is black tea okay?
Ah, you don't have to go to so much trouble for me, Isuzu.
But we haven't seen each other in ages!
The least we can do is have some tea together.
You seem really happy.
I am. Ah!
Oh no! I haven't started the stew yet!
I'm sorry! Hang on just a sec.
There we are. I promised I'd make him some stew.
Isuzu, no matter what happens, don't ever divorce Mr. Eiji.
Baby, I love you!
In this city of passion...
I'll be going, then.
What, already? Yakko...
Wasn't there something you wanted to talk to me about?
Nope. I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd stop by.
I see. Well then, you'll have to stay longer next time.
Bye, and give my regards to Mr. Eiji.
Okay.
Yakko.
Huh?
Did you do something new with your hair?
Yeah. I just felt like trying something different.
See ya later!
Yakko...
You don't need to say a word.
Your trembling lips are blazing hot!
(Baby, I love you!)
Another one down.
Eiji, what's up with you, man?
What do you mean "what's up"?
What do you think this is, a one-man band?
You really gave Gou a run for his money, and he's our frontman!
Here, have some refreshments.
Wow!
Great job tonight, Eiji.
Thanks. It was nothing.
His feelings for his sweet Isuzu..
..has spurred him to greatness!
Why you..!
Ooo.. scary!
In Eiji's case..
..I thought he was rushing into marriage, but..
..now I see that it's a good thing for him.
So you didn't want me to get married?
I thought she was railroading you into it.
But I was wrong.
Huh? What do you mean by that?
It almost sounds like you don't want any of us to get married.
Yeah it does.
I can't agree with that!
A man should be free to marry when and where he chooses.
Don't tell me you're even considering getting married, Gou!
I plead the fifth.
You can't, Gou! You're on the path to stardom!
Have you forgotten that?
So you're saying that I can't become a star if I'm married?
Stop this, Gou.
I'm sure Mr. Yamadazaka isn't trying to butt into our personal lives.
Isn't that right, Mr. Manager?
My apologies. I meant no offense.
But I hope you understand that this is a critical time for all of you.
For example, this evening we're having a meeting with "Big Stone".
Eh?
Did you say "Big Stone"?
Really?
Yes. A contract with them is all but assured.
"Big Stone"!
To have a top-rated production company like that willing to work with us...
It's like a dream come true!
That's incredible!
Gou!
For the sake of making Bee Hive a number one band..
..you absolutely must become a star.
You must!
"Big Stone"!
We finally did it, Gou!
We did it!
Hey...
Well the rain finally stopped, but I'm exhausted.
It's a good thing that it was slow earlier. That way, there's less to clean up.
Don't give me that! You were the one doddering around here like an old lady earlier.
Prep for tomorrow is already done.
And this is the last of the washing up.
Hmm.. I guess you're right, then.
Guess I'll leave you to it.
Oh, oops! Hey, Yakko.
Huh?
Here.
Oh, what is it?
It's from Hashizou.
Wow! This coming Sunday is Sports Day.
Yeah. Let's go and cheer him on.
Okay.
I'll have to make a bunch of boxed lunches, won't I?
Mr. Gou is busy, and I can't just call him up like I used to.
Hopefully he won't come to Sports Day.
Huh?
Hey there.
Mr. Gou!
What the..?
Huh?
Something's off.
Oh? What?
Oh! It's your hair!
You changed your hairstyle, didn't you?
Yeah.
You always wear it the same way..
..so it didn't look right to me.
Thanks.
There, that's the Yakko I know.
So you like it this way?
Yeah. This way looks much better.
There we go.
Juliano!
C'mon, hurry up!
Sports Day starts at 10am, okay, Gou?
Okay...
I wonder if he even knows what I said.

We told him what time he needed to be here.

Midori Kindergarten
You can do it, Hashizou!
The old man's right here with you!
Just look at him, Yakko! Hashizou is the best one out there!
Huh?
Mr. Gou!
Ah, sorry 'bout that!
It's okay. They just started.
It's not that. I can't stay.
What? You can't?
I just found out that we're going to be guests on a radio show.
That will last right up until the time I have to be at the recording studio.
I see.
The disc jockey we're working with is a big name in the business.
Ah, oh no!
Sorry, Yakko, but please, take care of Hashizou for me.
See ya!
Mr. Gou...
And now, the older boys'..
..30 meter dash is about to start.
Ready, set...
Go for it, Hashizou!
Daddy!
You're embarrassing me.
Hey, Yakko, where have you been?
Hashizou's in the 30-meter dash. A whole 30 meters!
Hashizou! Real men never give up!
Mr. Gou is like a father to Hashizou.
Hashizou really wanted him to come watch.
Go, go! There's just one of them left! Pass him!
Don't let him beat you!
Hashizou!
I did it!
Now look what you've done! You should have been cheering more enthusiastically!
Yakko! Old man!
I got second place!
Good job.
That's fantastic, Hashizou!
You really gave it your all!
That's right. Just because you got a silver medal, doesn't mean you're not a winner.
I'm going to give it my all, so I can win first place next time!
That's the spirit. Keeping your chin up is the most important thing.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose; it's how you play the game.
Ah, Juliano!
Why you little..!
Take this! Wake up, you silly cat!
What a heartless beast you are!
Oh stop it, Daddy. Can't you see he's tired?
You need to be up and cheering him on.
Otherwise Hashizou will never take first place!
Yakko.
Huh?
Isn't Gou here yet?
About that, he was suddenly called in to work, so he can't make it.
I see.
But he did say that I'm supposed to take good care of you.
It's okay, because you're here to watch me, Yakko!
Hey, Hashizou.
Huh?
Don't forget us!
Juliano and I are cheering you on with all our might!
Isn't that right, Jules?
Sorry, old man! I'll do my very best in the next event!
All right, Hashizou. Hurry and get on over there.
Okay!
Give it your all, Hashizou!
Somehow, I can feel the distance growing between us and Mr. Gou.
On Air
Thank you very much!
We got both the interview and recording done in exactly 30 minutes.
You guys handled it like pros.
Blame Gou. He was cool as a cucumber the whole time.
You said it. He's got the "star" thing down pat!
In fact, you did it in your sleep, didn't you, Gou?
I thought I saw him nodding off during the recording!
Oh stop it, you guys.
Though a little coffee would be nice.
Then let's go to the tea room for a bit.
No matter how you look at it, he is a good manager.
Yeah, I know.
There ya go.
It's a pork omelet. That should perk you up!
Hashizou's next event is the daruma race!
We absolutely must cheer him on!
Daddy! It's about to start.
Up we go. All righty then!
Get ready! Get set!
Go for it, Hashizou! Give it your all!
You're going the wrong way, Hashizou!
You're going the wrong way. It's that way.
Hashizou!
Go for it, Hashizou! You can do it!
You can do it, Hashizou!
Midori Kindergarten
Yakko!
Hashizou.
Come on now, cheer up.
You're a man, aren't you?
Looks like even coffee isn't working today.
Think I'll take a nap in the dressing room after this.
I have to be awake for tonight's live performance, after all.
Hey Gou, don't you have something to do this afternoon?
Huh?
Aren't you going to Sports Day?
Hashizou is in good hands.
He may be in good hands, but don't you think he's waiting for you to show up?
Huh?
Doing what you just proposed would betray..
..Hashizou's love for you, wouldn't it?
Or was what you said to the radio audience a lie?
No it wasn't, but...
Then get your butt on out of here.
I agree, Gou. You have other places to be.
Wanna come have lunch with me, Hashizou?
But I already ate a ton!
Don't you want to eat with me?
I do, but.. oh, bother.
Here, have another one.
No thanks, I'm stuffed.
Oh, c'mon. Don't be shy.
It's true! I swear!
I love that about you, Hashizou.
C'mon, eat up!
If I do, I'll..!
Hashizou.
Huh?
Ah, Gou!
You're late!
Ah, sorry 'bout that.
Where's Yakko?
Yakko must be lonely.
I think I saw her having lunch alone out back somewhere.
I see.
Hurry up, Hashizou.
Silly Juliano.
But where's Yakko?
Attention parents and guardians:
Our afternoon events are about to begin.
We're starting off with the older students' co-ed treasure hunt race.
Mr. Gou.
Huh?
Why are you so surprised?
Don't you know that I'll always come when you call, Yakko?
Mr. Gou!
Oh, Mr. Gou...
Work's been keeping you pretty busy, hasn't it?
Have you ever heard of "Big Stone"?
Of course I have! They're the production company everyone dreams of working with.
We're just about to sign a contract with them.
Really?
Yeah. Mr. Yamadazaka definitely knows what he's doing.
You'll break up with Gou, won't you?
Our dreams are coming true, little by little.
The rock career I always dreamed of is really starting to take off now.
All of us want as many people as possible to hear and enjoy our music.
To become a household name, and play for ever larger audiences.
For the whole town to be able to hear our songs.
And sing along, even if just to themselves.
Right now, the fire in my belly is at an all-time height!
The fire in my belly is at an all-time height!
That's exactly the sort of thing Mr. Yamadazaka said.
From now on, Mr. Gou has been thrust onto the path of stardom!
I'm not giving up this time!
Do your best, Hashizou!
Mr. Yamadazaka understands Gou so much better than I do.
On top of that, apparently I haven't even been taking his feelings into consideration.
Midori Kindergarten
All right! Put your back into it! C'mon!
So, is it just me who is against Mr. Gou and I breaking up?
All right! Show 'em what you're made of!
Ah, Juliano!
Come with me!
Yakko! Yakko!
Er.. me?
Yeah! C'mon, hurry up!
You can do it, Yakko! Hashizou!
Please!
Huh? What's going on?
Ah, Kaoru!
Come on! You're almost there, Hashizou!
Huh? When did that wild-haired punk get here?
Whoo-hoo!
I'm first!
Way to go!
You're such a meanie, Juliano!
I'm afraid there's a problem, Hashizou.
This says you needed to find a "Mama".
Eh?
Gou's my big brother, but he's more like a "Papa".
Yakko's gonna marry him soon.
That'll make her my big sister, but she's more like a "Mama".
So Yakko's my Mama!
Hashizou...
Wait there just a sec.
Midori Kindergarten
My teacher's weird, isn't she? All I did was tell her the truth!
Hashizou.
You've won first place, Hashizou!
Come on over here!
Whoo-hoo!
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you, Hashizou.
But Mr. Gou and I will be parting ways very soon.
I have to bid Mr. Gou farewell.

The most important thing right now is for Mr. Gou to become a star.
So I've made up my mind.
Mr. Gou and I can't be together anymore.
But Hashizou is determined to make us see each other, so when we do..
..I am forced to lie and say that I've fallen in love with someone else.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gou.
I don't have any other choice.
A Prelude to Parting
See you then!
