Lullaby of Paris
Hashizou! Don't forget to put your pajamas in the laundry hamper.
Okay! Ooph...
Whew. The futons have been put away, Gou.
Oops, sorry!
It's about time to do laundry again, isn't it, Gou?
Yeah, I haven't had any free time lately, so it's built up.
Now 'cmon, let's eat.
Ah, I'll get it!
Make sure it's actually someone we want to talk to.
Okay!
Who is it?
He took me literally.
Hashizou? Is that you?
Who is this?
I'm your Mummy.
It's not someone we want to talk to, is it? Give it here.
Hello? You've reached the Katou residence.
Ah! It's you, isn't it, Mr. Gou?
It's Maria.
Eh?
I don't think I know any Maria.
My, have you forgotten?
It's your Mama, Maria.
It can't be..!
It's really been a while, hasn't it?
I'm headed for the International Hotel right now.
Stop it!
I'm hanging up the phone right now!
Who was that, Gou?
Gou!
What did that person on the phone say to you?
Well, y'see..
..she said she was my "Mummy", but...
The nerve of her. Who would make a prank call like that?
Don't take what that woman said seriously.
C'mon now, our breakfast is getting cold.
Okay!
Hashizou.
If a stranger tries to talk to you, let me know immediately. Got it?
A stranger?
It's self-explanatory.
Someone you don't know, who acts overly-familiar towards you.
So you'll always tell me, right?
Right!
Feel free to go over to Yakko's for lunch today.
So you'll meet me there after you're done?
Sure.
Whoo-hoo!
Hey!
Get off!
What's the big idea? If you're mean to Hashizou, I'll never forgive you!
You pissed? Then come at me!
Hey! What're you waiting for?
I hate fighting!
So you give up already? You're just a scaredy-cat!
The teacher said "No fighting in kindergarten"!
Humph. What a wimp. Kaoru!
I'm super macho, ain't I? Huh?
Aren't I?
Phooey on you!
I HATE your creepy crawly eyebrows, Gonta!
Creepy crawly eyebrows?
Let's go, Hashizou.
Okay.
I'll get you for that!
Now I just have to figure out how.
That's it! I'll hide his cat!
Hey there, Juliano! Good afternoon!
Stop bein' a wall cat! Let's go play!
C'mon!
Why you..! I said, come on!
Now! Come on!
Stop that! Can't you see you're hurting him?
Shut up! Beat it!
Huh?
Whoa!
Oh my, look at him! He's all beat up!
You have my sincerest apologies.
Mommy, it hurts!
How could you do this to my adorable little Gonta?
I'm sorry.
"Sorry" doesn't fix anything!
What would your mother say?
Um.. that is..
..Hashizou's mother isn't in the picture.
Eh? Why am I not surprised?
That explains why he's so violent.
He's not!
Huh?
If anybody's violent, it's Gonta!
We all saw what happened.
Mommy!
A-hem!
Just pay closer attention and make sure that this doesn't happen again!
We'll be more vigilant from now on.
Come on now, Gonta. Let's go home.
Hey, Mom. Wouldja buy me a model kit on the way home?
Sure, why not? Now come on.
Nyah-nyah!
Bye!
Phbbt to you!
Keep your chin up, Hashizou.
Mm-hm.
Come on. Let's go home.
Okay.
Come on now, watch your step.
Bye!
Goodbye.
Bye!
Bye Hashizou!
Goodbye.
Gonta's the one who's a troublemaker.
But he has a Mom to defend him, Juliano.
Hashizou.
Eh?
You are Katou Hashizou, are you not?
Who're you?
I'm not a threat.
I just have some business to discuss with you.
You are Hashizou, correct?
I am Katou Hashizou.
I see.
It is him.
Hashizou.
Um. Er...
We spoke on the phone this morning. I'm your Mummy.
Eh?!
I've missed you so much.. Hashizou!
Ah! N.. no you're not!
Hashizou...
My Mummy's not around anymore.
Gou told me that she died!
So I.. I..!
I've decided that Yakko is going to be my Mummy!
Yakko?
Have you told Gou that?
Er.. yeah.
I see. Well, I still..
..need to talk to you about something very important, Hashizou.
What do you say, Hashizou?
Will you come back with me to my hotel?
Eh?
And after that, I will speak with Mr. Gou as well.
Due to certain circumstances..
..I've had to make a life for myself in a distant, foreign country.
So I haven't been able to come back and see you.
Do you have any idea how hard it was for me, not being able to see you for five whole years?
That's why I'm so anxious to talk to you.
Please, come with me.
Umm, but Gou will get mad at me.
I'll give him a call as soon as we get back to my hotel.
That should take care of it, right?
Okay. In that case, let's go!
What a relief.
C'mon, let's go, Juliano.
Come now, Hashizou. We should get going.
But what about Juliano?
I'm afraid the hotel doesn't allow cats.
I'm sure Mr. Gou will bring him to see you every once in a while. Come now.
Er, but Juliano..!
Asahigaoka Station
Yakko!
Oh!
Why are you hiding behind a pair of sunglasses, Mr. Gou?
I didn't want the fans to recognize me, so I wouldn't be mobbed.
C'mon, let's go.
Okay.
I was just on my way back from the production studio.
Our new album is finally ready.
Wow, that's wonderful! I can't wait to listen to it!
Thanks so much, and please come again soon!
There we go.
Sheesh, what on earth is taking Yakko so long? She should be back by now.
I'm home!
What took you so long?
Where the heck did you go shopping? Oh. Hmm?
Good afternoon.
We ran into each other at the station.
And he offered to carry my basket. He really helped me out.
I see.
Isn't Hashizou here yet?
Nope, not yet.
Though now that you mention it, he is usually here by now.
It's not like him to dawdle on the way here to eat.
I would have thought he'd hurry on over here today.
Huh?
Hashizou?
Huh?
What's wrong, Juliano?
It looks like he's trying to tell us something.
What happened to Hashizou?
Eh? What happened..?
I'm borrowing your phone.
You're going to call the apartment?
No.
The International Hotel.
A hotel?

Love
Night
Yes? This is Madame Maria.
Oh, Mr. Gou!
Where are you calling from?
Huh? Yes, he's here.
Momotaro went..
..to the mythological island of demons.
Is that any way to greet your mother?
You're quite welcome to join us.
Quit screwing around.
Claiming to be my "mother".. that's not possible!
Mr. Gou...
What on earth was that phone call about?
Huh, Mr. Katou?
Hashizou's mother has appeared.
Eh?!
Apparently what I believed up until now is a lie. I'm sorry.
Eh?
Up until now, I'd been led to believe that Hashizou's mother was dead.
So what changed?
Apparently Hashizou's mother has simply been staying in France.
I should have expected it from a flashy woman like her.
After my mother died..
..my father met her overseas, while in Paris for business.
Then they got married.
They lived almost exclusively overseas.
So I was always alone.
The only time they came home was so she could give birth to Hashizou.
As soon as she had, they left both of us behind.
This time, for El Salvador.
That's awful.
Mmm.. it sure is.
And that's not all.
My father died in an accident while he was working.
When she didn't come back, I tried sending that woman a letter. It was just one line.
"Where have you gone?"
I will never forgive her.
Therefore, she is dead to me.
So she gave him up without shedding blood or even a tear, and now she's taken him away?
Hey, Yakko. You should go with him and bring Hashizou back.
Mm-hm.
I did everything I could to try and find you and Mr. Gou.
But I had no idea where you two had moved to.
So Mr. Gou is angry with me for something that is not my fault.
I think if you just tell him that, he'll understand.
So you think so, too, Hashizou?
Yeah. I mean, even I understand.
I'm so glad.
I know! Let me buy you some even better new clothes, Hashizou.
Really?
Rich Damask Clothing Shop
No, no.
I'd like the best you have in stock!
As you wish, Madame.
If you would?
Yes, ma'am.
Huh?
Huh? Hmm.
My, how wonderful.
It's perfect!
I've always wanted clothes like these!
But Gou doesn't like them...
These are fine, right, Hashizou?
Thank you very much.
Wow, I'm being treated like a prince!
Hehe, my hair's so neat and clean.
Didn't you mention that you've always wanted a remote control toy, Hashizou?
Huh? Can we go buy one?
Of course. Let's go.
Wow, this is incredible!
Umm.. I'd like this one!
How much is it?
That one is 15,000 yen, ma'am.
Welcome.
Rolling out the red carpet even though we don't have a room here.
Ah, wait here a minute, would you? I'll go enquire at the front desk.
Sure.
It seems they've gone out.
Let's wait for them.
Ah, welcome back, young sir. Madame.
We're back!
Ah! Yakko!
Hashizou!
Gou!
Mummy bought me some Western-style clothes, shoes..
..and a whole bunch of other stuff!
Mummy?
It has been far too long, Mr. Gou.
What is the meaning of this?
What gives you the right to buy Hashizou things?
Ah...
Let's not discuss this here.
Let's clear this up back in my room.
So you're the young lady named Yakko.
I am Hashizou's mother, Maria.
Oh, er.. I'm Mitamura Yaeko.
Hashizou has told me so much about you.
And you as well, Mr. Gou.
Let's go, Yakko!
But...
You don't have to.
I'd completely understand if you didn't, given the circumstances.
Okay?
Let's go, Yakko!
Hashizou.
Huh?
Come along now.
Okay!
I'm having so much fun!
That will be all for now.
Why don't you have a seat, Mr. Gou?
Nah, I'm fine like this.
Whoa!
This is awesome!
Hashizou seems to be thrilled.
I'm so glad he doesn't hide how he feels.
Would you please just stop doing whatever you please?
I can't let you get away with just up and taking Hashizou out of the blue.
Doing as I please, you say?
I've had to take on the parental role and raise Hashizou by myself.
To have some stranger just drop in and take him away...
I absolutely cannot allow that!
A stranger, you say?
I am Hashizou's mother!
And what have you, as a mother, done for him up until now?
Five years ago, you threw him away like a piece of garbage.
You might think that, but...
There was nothing else I could do.
Why was there nothing else you could do?
Please don't yell at me like that.
I believe Mr. Gou has every right to yell at you.
Because Mr. Gou was the one to change Hashizou's diapers.
He raised Hashizou all by himself.
That's why I...
It's okay, Yakko.
Let me speak.
Wait. I have something to say.
When your father died in that accident in El Salvador...
I thought I was going to die, too.
But the thought of making a better life for Hashizou..
..is what has kept me going up until now.
Wow! Look at it go!
If that's the case, then why didn't you immediately return to Japan?
Instead of just sending a single letter saying that you were going to Paris.
Why on earth did you do that?
But if I had returned directly to Japan, what could have I done?
How could I take care of Hashizou if taking out a loan against the settlement..
..from your father's death was the only way to make ends meet?
Besides, before that, I had been studying..
..to be come a successful fashion designer.
My plan was to come back to Japan once I had succeeded.
The only one you were thinking of was yourself.
For five years, you've neglected him.
No I haven't. I've been searching for him all this time!
But you're the one who just picked Hashizou up and took him only heaven knew where!
It wasn't until I saw you on T.V. that I was able to figure it out.
What is she talking about, Mr. Gou?
You were forced to leave your family's home due to the circumstances, weren't you?
I've never complained about that, and I'm not going to start.
But..!
I know it's been hard for you.
But everything's going to be all right now.
I fully intend to make up for the past.
I have finally become one of the most renowned designers in Paris.
I have achieved both fame and fortune.
So Hashizou will never want for anything ever again.
Once Hashizou and I return to Paris, he will be enrolled in a first-rate school.
There he will be taught how to be a fine gentleman.
Hashizou doesn't need any of that to be happy!
That's not so. He will never have to worry about money.
That will definitely make him happy.
Money can buy happiness?
Humph. That's what you think.
You are welcome to your opinion.
Then let's see what Hashizou has to say about it.
Fine, then.
Hashizou?
Coming! Are you guys done talking?
What's that in your arms, Hashizou?
Mummy bought these pajamas for me, Gou.
She even bought a matching set for her, too!
Hashizou...
Say, Hashizou, would you rather stay here with me?
Or go home with Mr. Gou?
Um.. well.. I...
I'd rather stay here tonight so we can wear our matching pajamas.
Hashizou...
I promised I'd go to bed with you tonight, Mummy.
Didn't I, Mummy?
Hashizou!
What's wrong, Mummy?
I'm just.. so happy, Hashizou.
Hashizou is probably just excited to see his birth mother, Mr. Gou.
So why don't we discuss this a little more?
I'm going home.
Mr. Gou..!
Gou!
Tell Juliano to be a good boy for me, okay?
Sure. I'll tell him.
Mr. Gou!
Yakko.
Come on, Hashizou. Let's go put on our pajamas.
Okay!
Why? Why didn't you tell Hashizou to come home?
Mr. Gou.
There's nothing more I can say today. Hashizou is too young to understand.
Mr. Gou...
Come on. Let's go home.
What can I do? I don't think anything I say will make a difference, either.
Come on now, cheer up!
This isn't like you.
Yakko...
I won't ever let you go again, Hashizou.
We'll always be together from now on.
Yay! Same here!

Hashizou is really surprised when his mother, who has suddenly..
..reappeared in his life, asks him to go back to Paris with her!
But for Mr. Gou, who thought he and Hashizou would be together forever..
..just wants him to be happy, and resigns himself to Hashizou wanting to stay with his mother.
I really wish there was something I could do about it.
But I have no idea what.
Melody for a Little Star. See you then!
