    The Rolling Rice Ball
[00:09] Meisaku
    What's wrong?
[00:10] Musubi
    There's this song that's
     totally unacceptable.
[00:12] Sweets
    What song is it?
[00:13] Musubi
    A nursery rhyme called "The Rolling Acorn."

    The Rolling Acorn
[00:15] Musubi
    I mean, what are those lyrics?
[00:16] Tsurukou
    How does that one go again?
[00:19] Musubi
    I don't even want to sing it.
[00:20] ---
    Meisaku-kun, please sing it for me.
[00:22] Meisaku
    Who, me?
[00:24] Musubi
    I'll shout, "There!" when it gets
     to the unacceptable part.
[00:26] Meisaku
    Uh, guess I'm singing it, then.

    "The Rolling Acorn"
    Written by Aoki Nagayoshi Composed by Yanada Tadashi
[00:32] Meisaku
    An acorn rolled down
[00:34] Musubi
    There!
[00:34] Meisaku
    Already?!
[00:36] Musubi
    When you say "rolled down"...
[00:38] Musubi
    That's a rice ball thing, don'tcha know!
[00:39] Tsurukou
    "Don'tcha know"?
[00:40] Musubi
    Anything shaped like an acorn wouldn't roll.
[00:43] Meisaku
    I think it would, wouldn't it?
[00:44] Sweets
    Yup.
[00:45] Musubi
    The most rollable shape is
     a triangle. Like a rice ball!
[00:48] Tsurukou
    Round's better.
[00:49] Musubi
    Anyhow, that song's unacceptable.
[00:51] ---
    I've gathered you all here today to show
    you the rolling-ability of a rice ball.
[00:55] Meisaku
    The rolling-ability, huh?
[00:57] Musubi
    Time me as I roll, okay?
[00:59] Musubi
    Ready?
[01:01] Tsurukou
    And he's gone.
[01:02] Sweets
    By the way, how does
    the rest of that song go?
[01:05] Meisaku
    An acorn rolls into a pond and gets immersed
    in the water, then a loach plays with him.
[01:05] Sign

    Rolling
    Acorn
[01:10] Sweets
    Immersed in a pond?
[01:11] Tsurukou
    If that happened to Musubi-paisen,
    it'd be a total disaster.
[01:14] Sweets
    He'd come apart in the water.
[01:16] Meisaku
    That's true.
[01:18] Tsurukou
    That's not a good sound, right?!
[01:20] Meisaku
    Let's go find him!
[01:23] Sign

[01:24] Musubi
    I'm immersed in a pond
    and now I'm in trouble.
[01:26] ---
    My body's starting to fall apart!

    Hello there!

    Wh-Who might you be?
[01:31] Loach
    I'm a loach.
[01:33] Musubi
    Great timing! Could you nudge me to the shore?
[01:36] Loach
    Little boy!
[01:37] Musubi
    Little boy?
[01:38] Loach
    Let's play together!
[01:40] Musubi
    Were you listening?
[01:41] Loach
    If you play a game with me,
    I'll take you to the shore.

[02:02] Loach
    Oh, come on now.
[02:03] ---
    You complain too much.
[02:04] Musubi
    Can't you suggest something
     a little more doable?
[02:07] Loach
    How about...
[02:08] Loach

[02:17] Musubi
    Why do you want to play so much?
[02:19] Loach
    I get lonely.
[02:21] ---
    I'm the only one in this pond.
[02:24] Musubi
    Oh, are you?
[02:25] Musubi
    Okay, I'll play with you!
[02:27] Loach
    Thank you! But I have one favor to ask.
[02:30] Musubi
    Yes?
[02:31] Loach
    I have an early start tomorrow,
    so please be mindful of that.
[02:35] Musubi
    Huh? We're not playing that long!
[02:40] Meisaku
    Musubi!
[02:41] Musubi
    Hey, I'm over here!
[02:44] Meisaku
    A loach?
[02:45] Musubi
    I'm right here!
[02:47] Meisaku
    You're tiny!
[02:48] Tsurukou
    What's happening here?
[02:49] Musubi
    I'll explain it all...

    In English?!
[03:01] Sign
    Immersed in a game and now in trouble
[03:04] Tsurukou
    Immersed in a game, not a pond?
[03:06] Sign
    The loach got tired and bored
[03:08] Sweets
    You played that much, huh?
[03:09] Sign
    Little boy, it's about time you went home
[03:13] Meisaku
    The loach wants him to leave!
[03:15] Musubi
    Once we started playing,
    I got totally sucked in.
[03:18] Tsurukou
    So can we just agree that rice balls
    and acorns both roll really well?
[03:22] Musubi
    I'm no longer mad about
    that section of the song.
[03:25] Meisaku
    Oh, really?
[03:26] Musubi
    Only that section, though.
[03:27] Sweets
    You're still mad about other parts of it?
[03:29] Musubi
    I'll shout "There!" when you get to it,
     so start singing, Meisaku.
[03:32] Meisaku
    Again?

    My issue with it is...
[03:44] Musubi
    What does "plip-plopping" even mean?!
[03:46] Meisaku
    Who cares?

    And they all lived happily ever after!
