Well
He's singing?
Yes He also wrote the song
Why is he asking Ayano then?
'Cause he's a pro?
That's way too much trouble And not his style
Well, they did fall out before Grandpa!
See, you're choking!
Damn
Leave the tomatoes! Why don't you take a bath? Huh?
Hello? It's me Stop hassling Ayano
None of your business, brother
But I'm serious too
What's wrong with a manga artist making a CD?
It's not for sale just a private thing
A birthday gift for myself
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But that's between Ayano and me
And it's been settled
Financially With money
It won't cause you any trouble
Eh? I see Okay I'll call him directly
Gimme a break and shut the fuck up!
What? Are you stupid? Yeah, I'm listening
Hey, don't transfer any money!
'Cause I'm not gonna do it! Mixing your birthday song?
Do it yourself, asshole! No, I'm telling you not to
If you transfer it, I'll use it, but I ain't mixing shit for you
Whatever, dickhead! I'm hanging up
I swear to God I'm deleting this
Um, I can play the keyboards
Good enough for a demo
Really?
Yes Why don't we make the demo first,
send it to Ayano, and then ask him if he'll do it?
Really?
And the chorus?
I can sing too
And dance? Dance?
You're hot water I know
That birthday song of his Wonder what it's like
Sachiko?
Your feelings, your heart The comfort you offer
For you are hot water For you are hot water
Hey, hurry up!
Move it!
Sorry!
You filthy bastards!
Don't get dirt on it
We won't
I'm starving
Dumplings at Sudo's, bro?
Sudo's? Closed already The old gal closes up early
Oh
I wouldn't mind Ran Ran's dumplings
Ran Ran, now that's a plan We haven't eaten there in ages
My treat Let's go
Oh Yeah!
Don't you dare leave stains!
So this is the red elephant, discovered by Poliades the 13th
Look carefully at its tail At the tip, where it's curled
When an elephant's tail is curled, it suggests that in its next life
Haruno, are you listening? Eyes over here, please
In its next life, it'll become something with natural perm Okay?
The curly tail will be passed on This'll be in the exam
It's been raining since morning The baby fox was lazing about
'Why don't I write a letter?' But he saw Rabbit and Raccoon yesterday
'I know! I'll write to Mouse '
'I haven't seen her for days '
She hurt her leg and can't go outside
So I'm lying there and suddenly
Like this
See the difference? He's amazing
That's beautiful
A true master
Please eat eat
Go ahead
Thank you
Nobuo?
You know this is my last night
Will you do that for me?
Sure
Great!
That?
That
What's'that'?
Inhale Together with me
Exhale
Inhale Exhale
Now Look at this
Stare at the light Stare
Concentrate
You're blinking more than usual
And your eyelids are becoming heavier, but that's fine
Becoming heavier And heavier
And finally they become so heavy, they close,
and stay that way
You've now reached a very deep place
It feels very good there
A place that belongs to you alone, where nobody can bother you
You can only hear the sound of my voice
You'll be able to hear nothing else
I will now remain silent for a while
'The Jungle girl who shocked the nation!!'
'Discovered in the wild 13 years ago!!'
'Brace yourselves, 'cos she's back!!'
'As a comedian!!'
Enjoy
You can turn it up now
You sure?
They can only recognize my normal voice
Who is this?
Jungle girl turned comedian
hello, we're Tokyo Dombi Combi!!
Look at her, everyone!! She used to live in the jungle!!
Unbelievable, right? I mean, she looks just like the girl next door
I used to be like a saber toothed tiger!!
Wrong cue, partner
Well, at least you can tell this is really a live show!!
So, um, as to why I decided to team up with her
A saber toothed tiger!!
So, um
'Please Wait a Moment '
I totally experienced a new world
A new world?
Space rushing towards me like crazy, blinding my vision
And I was mixing I might be the real deal!
You already are
The real Shit Nobuo! I feel embarrassed!
Well mine had some cool moves
Your tea
It was like a 3 D burst of colors right from here!
I know!
It felt great!
Then what happens?
Then I become a part of it, and nothing matters anymore
It's not about what happens next
Why?
Well, it's somehow liberating to assimilate with that world
Probably because it belongs to my subconscious I think
Why?
It might be hard for you to understand, because it's my world
Even I don't get it
Just like so many other things in this world, yes?
Do you know what I mean?
Please give it back
What? Isn't this it?
Give it back!
These please

Hey, wanna trust me with this track?
It's platinum disc material
You're nuts
There's a white wall
A white wall
Observe it and give me more details
It goes on, forever and ever
It's tall and in front of me, on my sides, behind me, extending into infinity
And you where are you in this white world of yours?
I'm floating in the air
Wearing this white bodysuit thingy something sort of fitted
thin and translucent over my whole body
with something cute and fluffy, like bunny ears on my head
And I'm floating in the air
That sounds nice
Very, very nice
Where's dad? At my brother's again?
He's in his room, working
Working? On what?
We aren't to look
And that stupid song? Is that finished?
Ayano sent us a copy of the CD Complete with a bonus video
Is it any good?
Gave me a headache
Did you watch it?
I liked it
I'll listen to it when I have time
But given the choice
Exactly
