    You're a yokai and yet you help humans.
    What are you up to?
[00:35] ---
    The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:39] ---
    There are things you can't see.
[00:41] ---
    See? In the darkness behind you...

[02:25] ---
    Aren't you being a little cold?
[02:28] ---
    I come here every night.
    Are you going to ignore me again?
[02:34] ---
    Play some Cat's Cradle with me.
[02:53] ---
    How about a game of Sugoroku?

    THE YOKAI APARTMENT SECRET STORY
[03:27] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:27] ---
    NAGATOMI MOVERS
[03:30] ---
    LEAVE MOVING TO US!
[03:36] ---
    What? Working on your day off?!
[03:38] ---
    But you promised!
[03:41] ---
    I just sent all the clothes and the bed!
[03:45] ---
    If you're not there, the movers can't
    get into the new place, Hiro-kun!
[03:51] ---
    HIRO-KUN
    CALL ENDED
[03:54] ---
    I was hoping to relax a bit.
[03:54] ---
    SOKAI LIVELY APARTMENT
[03:57] ---
    I guess I'll have to
    open the place for them.
[04:01] ---
    Hurry, hurry!
[04:04] ---
    I'll have to catch a cab.
[04:15] ---
    Oh well.
[04:18] ---
    Who's there?
[04:20] ---
    I'm in a bit of a rush.
[04:22] ---
    We hear you're tearing this place down
    to make a parking lot.
[04:26] ---
    Would you please be
    willing to reconsider, Natsumi-san?
[04:31] ---
    You know my name?
[04:33] ---
    Who are you?
[04:34] ---
    Could you at least hear us out,
    Natsumi-san?
[04:38] ---
    Huh?
[04:43] ---
    THE YEAR 1968
[04:48] ---
    I wonder what sort of tenants we'll have?
[04:51] ---
    From today,
    this is Sokai Lively Apartment!
[04:54] ---
    No matter who comes, everyone who
    lives here is our family!
[04:58] ---
    Let's be wonderful landlords, Haruo-san.
[05:02] ---
    Of course, Fuyuko-san.
[05:05] ---
    -Haruo-san!
    -Fuyuko-san!
[05:07] ---
    -Haruo-san!!
    -Fuyuko-san!!
[05:12] ---
    H-Hold it right there!
[05:15] ---
    Yes?
[05:16] ---
    By "Haruo" and "Fuyuko,"
    you mean Grandpa and Grandma?
[05:20] ---
    Yes.
[05:23] ---
    You said you'd take care of the key,
[05:26] ---
    and that you just wanted to talk,
    so I believed you.
[05:29] ---
    Monsters looking down from the window?
[05:32] ---
    Am I an idiot?
    Or just completely gullible?
[05:35] ---
    Not monsters, yokai.
[05:39] ---
    Oh, yokai!
[05:43] ---
    Could you leave after all?
[05:46] ---
    Catchick will handle the key.
[05:50] ---
    Please hear us out.
[05:56] ---
    Okay...
[06:09] ---
    What is with this apartment?!
[06:11] ---
    No one said there were ghosts here!
[06:14] ---
    I thought the rent was suspiciously low!
[06:18] ---
    We're leaving!
[06:20] ---
    We're very sorry.
[06:25] ---
    At this rate there won't be
    anyone to rent rooms from us.
[06:31] ---
    Haruo-san?
[06:34] ---
    Please, I'm begging you! Go away!
[06:43] ---
    ROKURO-KUBI
[06:45] ---
    Why? I'm just a harmless yokai
    whose neck stretches.
[06:51] ---
    AKANAME
[06:53] ---
    This one just licks grime from baths.
[06:57] ---
    I'm useful on rainy days.
[07:00] ---
    KARAKASA
[07:02] ---
    That's not the issue!
[07:04] ---
    Besides, yokai aren't supposed to
    haunt newly built apartments!
[07:09] ---
    What about someplace older...
[07:11] ---
    Well, it's facing the wrong way
    for one thing.
[07:14] ---
    Plus, this place used to be a graveyard.
[07:19] ---
    The Shinto alter location is
    just the worst.
[07:27] ---
    YOKAI APARTMENT
[07:30] ---
    Evil spirits begone!
[07:35] ---
    My work is done.
[07:37] ---
    Um, they're still...
[07:41] ---
    Huh?
[07:43] ---
    Can't you see them?
[07:45] ---
    Uh...
[07:46] ---
    You don't give up, do you?
[07:49] ---
    In an age where people have gone to space
[07:51] ---
    and we've got premade instant curry,
    talking about ghosts is a bit much.
[07:58] ---
    They only show up when it's convenient,
[08:02] ---
    and normally
    they keep themselves invisible!
[08:05] ---
    That's just superstition. Go home.
[08:15] ---
    Seriously?
[08:16] ---
    He was at school bragging about it today.
[08:19] ---
    Then let's check out this Yokai Mailbox.
[08:22] ---
    Don't you wanna see if this Kitaro's
    yokai extermination is true or not?
[08:27] ---
    Guys!
[08:29] ---
    My mom said we can watch
    The Great Yokai Space War at my place!
[08:35] ---
    Awesome!
[08:37] ---
    You kids...
[08:48] ---
    TO KITARO
[08:53] ---
    Is this Sokai Lively Apartment?
[08:58] ---
    Yes!
[08:59] ---
    Thank you so much for coming!
[09:03] ---
    This is ridiculous.
[09:05] ---
    What?
[09:06] ---
    How old are you right now?
[09:09] ---
    I've never counted.
[09:11] ---
    Besides, yokai don't even exist.
[09:15] ---
    It turns out they do.
[09:18] ---
    Huh?
[09:20] ---
    Hm?
[09:25] ---
    You can't just pop out like that.
[09:27] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[09:31] ---
    YOKAI APARTMENT
[09:35] ---
    YOKAI AKANAME
[09:36] ---
    -"Eek!"
    -"What?"
[09:37] ---
    "Scratch, scratch."
[09:44] ---
    You're a yokai and yet you help humans.
    What are you up to?
[09:51] ---
    You need a little disciplining.
[09:54] ---
    Get him!
[10:05] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[10:07] ---
    Got you!
[10:11] ---
    Take this!
[10:20] ---
    Thank you, Kitaro-kun!
[10:22] ---
    Would you like something to eat?
    It should hit the spot!
[10:26] ---
    I'll whip something up now.
[10:31] ---
    I wanna stay here!
[10:33] ---
    You don't find dank, dreary and
    comfortable homes like this every day.
[10:37] ---
    The bath had the best grime
    for this one to lick...
[10:47] ---
    Akaname, Rokuro-Kubi, Karakasa.
[10:51] ---
    Humans and yokai can't be allowed
    to get too close.
[10:55] ---
    Being feared is the perfect distance.
[11:00] ---
    Um...
[11:04] ---
    THE YEAR 1971
    (JAPAN-WIDE BOWLING BOOM)
[11:06] ---
    BiBiBi no Bi
[11:13] ---
    Yum! No wonder these cost as much
    as two red bean buns and a bottle of milk.
[11:18] ---
    Not bad!
[11:20] ---
    I should find enough loose change
    to buy another.
[11:26] ---
    Thanks for waiting until
    I had enough for rent.
[11:29] ---
    We all help each other when in need.
[11:31] ---
    The temple grounds are already filled
    with people here for New Year's...

[11:36] ---
    Happy New Year.
[11:38] ---
    We made it through another year.
[11:41] ---
    Indeed.
[11:43] ---
    All the tenants are lively.
[11:45] ---
    Our daughter's lively.
[11:47] ---
    It's been a year of
    nothing but good things.
[11:54] ---
    It might all be the yokai repaying us.
[12:00] ---
    Grandpa and Grandma didn't
    drive the yokai out?!
[12:03] ---
    No.
[12:08] ---
    "Don't tease humans or show yourselves."
[12:12] ---
    -That was the deal.
    -Beer... Beer...
[12:17] ---
    Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why?!
[12:19] ---
    Aki-chan, there are yokai
    living in this apartment.
[12:24] ---
    Do you think she'll be able to see them?
[12:27] ---
    Who knows?
[12:28] ---
    But everyone who lives here
    is part of our family.
[12:34] ---
    THE YEAR 1985
[12:37] ---
    I'm so successful it's crazy!
[12:42] ---
    Have this! Hah!
[12:52] ---
    Why? How?!
[12:55] ---
    My, my. Accidents are certainly scary.
[13:02] ---
    We won't bow to land sharks!
    We'll never leave this property!
[13:06] ---
    Land shark is a little rude.
[13:09] ---
    Oh? Your daughter is certainly pretty.
[13:19] ---
    I'll be back in three days.
[13:25] ---
    I've had it! Why do Dad and Mom
    care so much about this apartment?!
[13:30] ---
    I don't think we can hold out any longer.
[13:33] ---
    You're right.
[13:35] ---
    There's her entrance exam to consider.
[13:38] ---
    You're right.
[13:39] ---
    Everyone will understand...
[13:46] ---
    Excuse me.
[13:53] ---
    It's been a while.
[13:55] ---
    We don't intend to
    get involved with human affairs.
[14:00] ---
    But we can't ignore something
    that affects fellow yokai.
[14:12] ---
    These yakuza have
    a tacky sense of style.
[14:18] ---
    Who are those guys?!
[14:21] ---
    Ow!
[14:22] ---
    What the hell?!
[14:42] ---
    How can we thank you?
[14:44] ---
    Forget it, I'm blushing. Besides,
    Kitaro and the others did all the work.
[14:49] ---
    You know what they say.
[14:51] ---
    "A landlord is like a parent
    and a tenant is like a child."
[14:56] ---
    Right?
[14:58] ---
    Please stay here as long as you like.
[15:07] ---
    And there you have it.
[15:09] ---
    Would you be willing to reconsider
    tearing down this apartment?
[15:14] ---
    Hmm. Even if that's all true,
[15:18] ---
    no one's rented here for a long time.
[15:22] ---
    Besides...
[15:24] ---
    Hiro-kun!
[15:26] ---
    Yeah, I'll take care of it quickly.
[15:28] ---
    Huh? Yokai?
[15:31] ---
    I'll see you later.
[15:33] ---
    Hiro-kun!
[15:34] ---
    Natsumi, I took care of work
    at Mach speed for you.
[15:39] ---
    Really? You're so wonderful!
[15:42] ---
    Huh? Who are they?
[15:43] ---
    Oh, don't worry about them.
[15:46] ---
    This is my fiancé, Hiro-kun.
[15:48] ---
    We're going to live together
    in our new place.
[15:51] ---
    So, sorry about this!
[15:55] ---
    We'll have to move Rokuro-Kubi and
    the others to GeGeGe Forest.
[16:01] ---
    That tacky jacket...
[16:03] ---
    Huh?
[16:04] ---
    I've seen it somewhere...
[16:07] ---
    Give it back! Please give it back!
[16:15] ---
    Got the deed and the registered seal.
[16:18] ---
    Why, Hiro-kun?
[16:20] ---
    Gimme a break.
    Surely you had your suspicions.
[16:23] ---
    What kind of real estate agent
    wears a jacket like this?!
[16:27] ---
    How could you trick me?
[16:29] ---
    How cruel...
[16:31] ---
    You knew I was tricking you,
    but you still couldn't leave me.
[16:36] ---
    Right?
[16:37] ---
    Huh?
[16:42] ---
    If it worked I could sell this
    to some eccentric buyer.
[16:48] ---
    No... Don't touch it...
[16:51] ---
    Poor little girl.
[16:53] ---
    You lost your mom as a child,
[16:56] ---
    and your grandfather who raised you
    just died recently.
[17:00] ---
    Stop it...
[17:01] ---
    Sad, lonely girls are
    the easiest ones to trick.
[17:11] ---
    Later!
[17:14] ---
    Crummy old apartment.
[17:15] ---
    Where are you going?
[17:17] ---
    Huh?
[17:33] ---
    You're sure about that?!
[17:35] ---
    The tacky taste. His jacket was a Versachu
    just like the one that land shark wore!
[17:53] ---
    Maybe I'm being punished.
[17:56] ---
    I tried to tear down Grandpa's apartment
    and drive you all out.
[18:05] ---
    It's punishment...
[18:16] ---
    I know...
[18:23] ---
    I know you.
[18:26] ---
    But how?
[18:31] ---
    Spacewalk time!
[18:37] ---
    Here's a broom.
[18:43] ---
    -This way!
    -Wait for me!
[18:46] ---
    It's a real help.
[18:48] ---
    She's had it rough,
    so she needs lots of friends.
[18:54] ---
    Sand Witch-san?
[18:57] ---
    She prefers playing with yokai
    over the neighborhood kids?
[19:01] ---
    Really? Natsumi said that?
[19:07] ---
    Okay! We'll keep playing with her and--
[19:10] ---
    -Idiot!
    -Huh?
[19:11] ---
    Natsumi's a human.
[19:13] ---
    What will you do if she can't
    live a normal human life anymore?!
[19:18] ---
    Oh.
[19:19] ---
    But what are we supposed to do about it?
[19:24] ---
    Akaname, Rokuro-Kubi, Karakasa?
    Where are you?
[19:32] ---
    Come here, Natsumi.
[19:36] ---
    Grandpa...
[19:38] ---
    Grandpa!
[19:42] ---
    Let's play with Grandpa today.
[19:44] ---
    Grandpa!
[19:46] ---
    This is too cruel!
[19:51] ---
    She'll forget in time.
[19:54] ---
    Probably.
[19:56] ---
    But we won't be able to forget!
[20:02] ---
    We hid ourselves
    for the good of your future.
[20:07] ---
    But we've always been watching over you.
[20:11] ---
    So, Natsumi, you're not alone.
[20:17] ---
    Never were...
[20:18] ---
    Never will be!
[20:51] ---
    That apartment was cursed after all!
[20:55] ---
    Hiro, you went and--
[21:06] ---
    My eyes!
[21:07] ---
    We'll be taking these back.
[21:14] ---
    Hello. It's been a long time.
[21:22] ---
    No deposit or key money necessary.
[21:25] ---
    But, mess the place up and
    you'll be paying the renovation costs.
[21:29] ---
    Okay!
[21:30] ---
    And another thing,
[21:32] ---
    be on your best behavior
    when the landlord shows up. Got it?
[21:36] ---
    Okay, you got it!
[21:38] ---
    Come on, let me live here, too.
[21:42] ---
    No way! You never take out
    the trash or clean!
[21:47] ---
    This is an apartment where
    yokai can live and be lively!
[21:53] ---
    SOKAI LIVELY APARTMENT
[21:56] ---
    I'm back!
[21:58] ---
    I came to see everyone!
[22:00] ---
    Welcome home, landlord!
