[00:07] ---
    Fifty years ago!
[00:08] ---
    And today!
[00:09] ---
    We look backwards and forwards.
[00:14] ---
    Wow, sushi.
    Down the hatch!
[00:19] ---
    Today it's all about
    sushi toppings!
[00:22] ---
    So good!
    Fatty tuna is the best!
[00:25] ---
    You know, hardly anyone
    ate tuna during the Edo period.
[00:28] ---
    And they threw the fatty parts away.
[00:31] ---
    But now, tuna is imported
    from all over the world
[00:34] ---
    and people use it for
    sushi all the time.
[00:39] ---
    Salmon is more popular
    than tuna these days.
[00:43] ---
    Fifty years ago, there was
    no such thing as salmon sushi.
[00:46] ---
    Come on, really?
[00:48] ---
    As farming and refrigeration improved,
[00:51] ---
    Atlantic salmon and salmon trout
    became popular sushi toppings.
[00:54] ---
    Hey chef! Give me ten
    more pieces of salmon sushi!
[00:56] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:57] ---
    – It's so good, I can't stop!
    – Hey, you're not listening at all.
[01:01] ---
    Salmon sushi can be seared, smoked,
    or accented with cheese, even spice.
[01:06] ---
    It's a global hit.
[01:08] ---
    Many places in Japan now have
    developed their own local salmon too.
[01:12] ---
    I'm excited to see
    what the future will bring.
[01:16] ---
    Wow, in just fifty years.
[01:18] ---
    Amazing!
[01:32] ---
    Don't try to hold back your yawns
[01:40] ---
    Don't try to hold back your yawns
[01:48] ---
    Yawning isn't just a sign of boredom, yeah
[01:59] ---
    Let's take action, action in a new world!
[02:08] ---
    Action! Action!
[02:12] ---
    Fly into our world! Let's go, King Genie!
[02:18] ---
    Let's go, King Genie!
[02:21] ---
    Let's go, King Genie!
[02:26] ---
    Achoo!
[02:34] ---
    (He's a) Genie-us!
[02:38] ---
    (He's a) Genie-us!
[02:51] ---
    PIRARUCU? WHAT'S THAT?
    DOES IT TASTE GOOD?
[02:55] ---
    The government will investigate
    those involved in the accident…

[02:58] ---
    Let's try feeding it!
[03:01] ---
    A GOOD VALUE
[03:01] ---
    You have thirty minutes
    to take advantage of our sale.

[03:03] ---
    – What a wonder.
    – Wow, it looks scrumptious.
[03:07] ---
    Oh, here's my favorite!
    Oh no, it's gone!

[03:16] ---
    Hey, Kan, did you know about this?
[03:19] ---
    There's this sushi that goes around and around.
    I saw it on TV.
[03:23] ---
    That's nothing special, you know.
[03:26] ---
    What? It is?
[03:28] ---
    Yeah, it either loops around or comes on
    a train to your table.
[03:33] ---
    Really? I'd love to try it.
[03:36] ---
    Conveyor-belt sushi, huh?
[03:38] ---
    That's not a bad idea.
[03:40] ---
    Sushi, huh? Sounds good.
[03:42] ---
    Yeah, okay!
[03:44] ---
    Then it's decided,
    conveyor-belt sushi for lunch it is!
[03:47] ---
    Yay!
[03:48] ---
    Oh goodie!
[03:50] ---
    No one sneezed, and you're here anyway.
[03:53] ---
    I suppose you like sushi?
[03:54] ---
    Ever heard of conveyor-belt sushi?
[03:57] ---
    No, I haven't.
    That's why I'm so excited!
[04:01] ---
    Me too!
[04:02] ---
    You know, they got hamburger sushi too!
[04:06] ---
    Goodness, how simply thrilling!
[04:10] ---
    Pizza! Do they have pizza?
[04:11] ---
    Hmm, I'm not sure about pizza…
[04:16] ---
    Relax, you'll find out soon enough.
[04:19] ---
    Oops.
[04:20] ---
    Oh, that was you.
[04:27] ---
    Call my name, and I shall appear!
[04:30] ---
    Perfect timing.
[04:31] ---
    You can come too, honey.
[04:33] ---
    Poot!
[04:34] ---
    Welcome!
[04:36] ---
    CONVEYOR-BELT SUSHI
    KANEMAWARI
[04:37] ---
    Wow, it's packed.
[04:40] ---
    I'm not surprised,
    it's a popular place.
[04:42] ---
    The sushi's fast, and so are the customers.
[04:46] ---
    Oh, good one!
[04:49] ---
    Is this table to your liking?
[04:51] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[04:53] ---
    Please use the tablet on your table
    to order from the special menu.
[04:57] ---
    Okay.
[04:58] ---
    Enjoy your meal.
[05:01] ---
    Amazing, a robot is
    is conversing with a real person…
[05:04] ---
    Amazing.
[05:05] ---
    It can communicate better than Little Bro.
[05:08] ---
    Poot poot…
[05:10] ---
    I cannot believe it,
    they have hamburger sushi.
[05:12] ---
    And a pizza sushi too!
[05:15] ---
    Carbohydrates and cheese, huh?
    Sounds fattening.
[05:18] ---
    Just don't order
    the most expensive thing, okay?
[05:21] ---
    And watch out for the
    second most expensive thing, too.
[05:25] ---
    Poot!
[05:25] ---
    KOHADA
[05:25] ---
    Oh, that's my favorite, kohada!
[05:31] ---
    Poot poot!
[05:35] ---
    Would you like to order, too?
[05:38] ---
    What would you like? Tuna mayo?
    Mayo corn? Or shrimp mayo?
[05:43] ---
    Oh, there's egg too.
[05:44] ---
    Don't you dare show
    me that damn kiddy menu.

[05:48] ---
    Oh, a surf clam!
[05:50] ---
    Poo, poo poo poo, poot poot!
    Poo poo, poo poo poot!
[05:55] ---
    I'll show you,
    fancy conveyor-belt sushi!

[05:58] ---
    Mumbo Jumbo
[06:17] ---
    What the hell are you doing?
[06:19] ---
    What have you done, Sir?
[06:21] ---
    Score!
[06:26] ---
    Huh?
[06:27] ---
    Hey, Sir…
[06:29] ---
    Don't be stingy.
[06:34] ---
    Geez, he got us all kicked out.
[06:38] ---
    Damn, I so wanted that tuna.
[06:41] ---
    Poot poot…
[06:42] ---
    Hamburger sushi, we were so close.
[06:45] ---
    I was really looking forward to the
    pizza sushi too.
[06:48] ---
    Maybe I did go a little too far.
[06:51] ---
    What should we do about lunch?
    I haven't made anything at home.
[06:56] ---
    Hey, there might not be automatic sushi,
    but how about a good old sushi bar?
[07:00] ---
    The one I used to go to
    is right up ahead.
[07:03] ---
    Sounds good!
[07:05] ---
    GENKO SUSHI
[07:07] ---
    Genko Sushi?
[07:08] ---
    Looks kinda scary to me.
[07:12] ---
    Hello!
[07:14] ---
    Hi, welcome.
[07:16] ---
    Well, Mr. Yotayama.
    It's been a while.
[07:19] ---
    Yeah, long time no see.
[07:21] ---
    So, who are all the new faces today?
[07:25] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[07:26] ---
    Have a seat.
[07:28] ---
    Um…I'll take six orders of
    your most inexpensive sushi.
[07:32] ---
    Hey, I won't overcharge you!
    Come on, have a seat.
[07:35] ---
    I'm starving.
[07:37] ---
    Poot.
[07:38] ---
    Um, well, do you have hamburger sushi?
[07:42] ---
    You know, I'll let it go since
    you're clearly visiting.
[07:45] ---
    But any sushi chef worth
    his salt would show you
[07:47] ---
    the door for a request like that.
[07:49] ---
    But why?
[07:51] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[07:53] ---
    They're totally clueless when
    it comes to Japanese customs.
[07:56] ---
    Yeah, okay.
    Here you go.
[07:59] ---
    Flounder in season.
[08:00] ---
    Thank you!
[08:06] ---
    This is scrumdiddlyumptious!
[08:08] ---
    This totally is the best sushi
    I've ever had.
[08:12] ---
    Oh yeah? Well, I'm gonna keep
    making 'em so keep eating, okay?
[08:15] ---
    Um…just in moderation, okay?
[08:18] ---
    I told you I won't overcharge!
[08:20] ---
    I got no other customers anyway.
[08:23] ---
    Don't want to waste the fish,
    so eat up!
[08:26] ---
    It's so delicious.
[08:27] ---
    How is it that you
    have no other customers here?
[08:29] ---
    Everyone wants that fancy modern sushi.
[08:33] ---
    I'm grateful for
    customers like you.
[08:37] ---
    Here you go.
    For the little kiddies.
[08:40] ---
    Wow, it's so cute.
[08:43] ---
    Give me ordinary sushi any day…
[08:45] ---
    Little boy, are you bored?
    Whaddya think about that?
[08:48] ---
    Poot…
[08:50] ---
    – Cool! It's a shrimp.
    – Poot!
[08:52] ---
    That's called
    a bamboo leaf cutting.
[08:54] ---
    Come on, eat up now.
[08:56] ---
    – Okay!
    – Poot.
[08:57] ---
    SUSHI
[08:58] ---
    Geba Geba Pii!
[08:59] ---
    GENKO SUSHI
[09:00] ---
    It was wonderful.
[09:02] ---
    Yes, thank you.
    We'll be back.
[09:04] ---
    For sure.
[09:05] ---
    Me too!
[09:06] ---
    Poot poot!
[09:07] ---
    Me three!
[09:08] ---
    Hopefully before I go belly up!
[09:11] ---
    Please don't say that…
[09:13] ---
    Poot…
[09:14] ---
    I guess sushi bars like mine
    are just a dying breed…
[09:19] ---
    Just kidding.
[09:22] ---
    Restaurants as delicious as that
    must always stay in business.
[09:27] ---
    Yeah, conveyor-belt sushi is fun,
    but it just can't compare with that chef.
[09:31] ---
    Poot.
[09:32] ---
    Oh I see…
[09:34] ---
    To attract customers,
[09:36] ---
    the modern sushi places serve
    huge pieces of tuna and salmon.
[09:38] ---
    LOVED BY BOTH ADULTS AND KIDS
    SALMON
[09:41] ---
    If we can just get Genko Sushi to
    use some major big toppings,
[09:45] ---
    it'll get the customers it needs.
[09:48] ---
    Hey, how about this guy?
    Pirarucu from the Amazon!
[09:51] ---
    – Whoa!
    – Poot.
[09:53] ---
    It is gargantuan.
[09:55] ---
    Apparently, it's the world's
    largest freshwater fish!
[09:58] ---
    But I wonder how it tastes.
[10:00] ---
    The local people eat it,
    so it must be good.
[10:04] ---
    You don't have to go to
    the Amazon to get one.
[10:06] ---
    We can get one online.
[10:09] ---
    Oh? This one's small.
[10:12] ---
    Yikes, it's so expensive!
[10:13] ---
    Ah, can't do it.
[10:14] ---
    I've already used up
    my New Year's money.
[10:16] ---
    Then how about if
    we go and catch one?
[10:19] ---
    Amazon is on the other side
    of the world, you know.
[10:21] ---
    We can go on Magic Carpet.
[10:24] ---
    Oh no, the other side
    of the world is far even for me.
[10:28] ---
    Oh yeah?
[10:29] ---
    In that case,
    we'll use the magic bottle.
[10:32] ---
    What? The magic bottle?
[10:38] ---
    You should know this, Akubi.
[10:40] ---
    The magic bottle can be a door
[10:43] ---
    to anywhere your heart desires.
[10:46] ---
    A door to anywhere in the world.
[10:48] ---
    I would say you could call it the Anywhere—
[10:50] ---
    Father, let's please go.
[10:51] ---
    Okay, let's go.
    Let's see now…
[10:54] ---
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
[10:59] ---
    Come on, you two, help me.
[11:01] ---
    It's the ceremony of the traveler.
[11:04] ---
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
[11:09] ---
    Almost there!
[11:11] ---
    Come on, Kan. You too!
[11:12] ---
    What? Me?
[11:14] ---
    Don't you want to save
    Genko Sushi?
[11:17] ---
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
[11:22] ---
    Oh, the magic bottle…
[11:23] ---
    Please connect us to
    the Amazon where the pirarucu live.
[11:27] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[11:31] ---
    What? I'm going too?
[11:37] ---
    Kan!
[11:38] ---
    Oh? Akubi?
[11:40] ---
    Who knew you could do
    this with the magic bottle?
[11:44] ---
    Yeah, who knew?
[11:47] ---
    This makes traveling
    long distances a snap.
[11:50] ---
    Someday, you two will do the same.
[11:53] ---
    All right!
[12:06] ---
    Ouch, another rough landing.
[12:09] ---
    And then after that.
[12:11] ---
    Blast it, I'm not your shoes!
[12:14] ---
    Please, patience, patience.
[12:16] ---
    So Kan, how do we catch
    a pirarucu?
[12:20] ---
    First, we need a heavy-duty fishing pole…
[12:24] ---
    Heavy-duty fishing pole, check.
[12:26] ---
    Now stick the bait on and throw it in.
[12:28] ---
    There.
[12:31] ---
    Now we wait for a bite.
[12:33] ---
    This is not so hard after all.
[12:35] ---
    Father.
[12:36] ---
    Looks like I already got one.
[12:38] ---
    Here we go!
[12:41] ---
    Owie owie oh!
[12:43] ---
    PIRARUCU
    PIRANHA
[12:43] ---
    That's not a pirarucu.
    That's a piranha.
[12:47] ---
    Never mind, never mind.
[12:52] ---
    Got one!
[12:53] ---
    Watch out for piranhas!
[12:57] ---
    It's a pirarucu!
[13:03] ---
    Hang in there!
[13:04] ---
    Poot!
[13:09] ---
    We did it!
[13:10] ---
    Indeed!
[13:17] ---
    Mr. Genko Sushi!
[13:21] ---
    Behold, your new sushi secret weapon.
[13:23] ---
    It'll be your claim to fame,
    everyone will wanna try it,
[13:26] ---
    it'll make you a sushi celebrity.
[13:29] ---
    What in god's name is it?
[13:31] ---
    Pirarucu from the Amazon.
[13:33] ---
    I can't serve that monstrosity!
    Take it back!
[13:35] ---
    What?
[13:36] ---
    Besides, I use exclusively
    freshly caught domestic fish.
[13:39] ---
    Take it back.
[13:41] ---
    I'll take it back.
[13:50] ---
    In old Tokyo, Edo, sushi was
    made with fish caught in Tokyo Bay.
[13:55] ---
    There were classic toppings,
    like conger-eel, kohadaand squid…
[13:58] ---
    SOY-MARINATED TUNA KOHADA
    SQUID CONGER-EEL
[14:02] ---
    Squid, huh?
[14:03] ---
    Then how about this one?
[14:05] ---
    A giant squid that's found in
    Ogasawara Island far off Tokyo Bay.
[14:10] ---
    Geez, it's humongous.
[14:13] ---
    A giant?
    Wow, that's just like you, Father.
[14:15] ---
    Well, it's in Japanese waters,
    so that should make him happy.
[14:18] ---
    Okay, time to travel.
[14:20] ---
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
    Arabin Dobin Door Chabin.
[14:25] ---
    Connect us to the seas of
    Ogasawara where giant squids live!
[14:33] ---
    Not again.
[14:34] ---
    Go!
[14:38] ---
    By any chance,
    are we going to make a water landing?
[14:42] ---
    That is correct.
[14:44] ---
    It should be okay.
    We have Magic Carpet.
[14:47] ---
    What? Then what about my shoes?
[14:49] ---
    Say what?!
[14:50] ---
    You don't have to
    worry about that.
[14:54] ---
    Oh, my shoes!
[14:55] ---
    Those are the least of our worries!
[14:58] ---
    I've taken care of that too.
[15:02] ---
    Abracadabra.
[15:06] ---
    OGASAWARA
[15:19] ---
    Wow, it just goes on forever.
[15:23] ---
    So, Kan. How do we catch
    a giant squid?
[15:28] ---
    No clue.
[15:30] ---
    – What?
    – Poot!
[15:31] ---
    I looked it up on my phone,
    but couldn't find anything.
[15:34] ---
    But you can probably use the same bait
    as a regular squid,
[15:35] ---
    EGI (BAIT FOR SQUID FISHING)
    SQUID HOOK
    (SQUIDS GET CAUGHT AND STUCK)
    WATER DEPTH 700 METERS
[15:37] ---
    just make it bigger.
[15:39] ---
    I mean, a squid is a squid is a squid.
[15:41] ---
    STURDY ROD
[15:41] ---
    STURDY LINE
[15:41] ---
    WEIGHT
[15:41] ---
    Should work.
[15:46] ---
    I think the jig hit the bottom.
[15:48] ---
    Now all we do is wait.
[15:50] ---
    I'm waiting.
[15:56] ---
    The biggest one ever found was
    about 14 meters long.
[16:00] ---
    So what?
[16:02] ---
    Sperm whales are
    its natural enemy.
[16:05] ---
    Who gives a crap about a giant squid anyway.
[16:11] ---
    Nothing!!
[16:15] ---
    You sure they hide out around here?
[16:18] ---
    Yeah, I mean, I think so…
[16:22] ---
    But it's the ocean, it could be anywhere.
[16:26] ---
    Akubi, use your magic
    to have a look around.
[16:30] ---
    What? With my magic?
[16:32] ---
    You've been training in
    the human world for a while now.
[16:36] ---
    I'm sure your magic has improved.
[16:39] ---
    Okay!
[16:43] ---
    Hocus Pocus.
[16:50] ---
    Here I go!
[16:54] ---
    Way to go, Sis!
[17:06] ---
    WATER DEPTH 700 METERS
[17:11] ---
    Doesn't look like there are
    any around the jig.

[17:15] ---
    I wonder where they are.
[17:31] ---
    Darn, still nothing.
[17:34] ---
    And Akubi hasn't come back either.
[17:36] ---
    Poot.
[17:38] ---
    Maybe there just aren't any
    giant squids after all…
[17:43] ---
    Hey, Akubi! How was it?
[17:50] ---
    A giant squid!
[17:51] ---
    It's chasing Akubi?
[17:53] ---
    Oh lordy, goodness gracious,
    let's see, I gotta have something!
[17:58] ---
    Oh, what do I do, what do I do?
[18:06] ---
    Magic Carpet!
[18:07] ---
    Yeah!
[18:11] ---
    Akubi! Akubi!
[18:14] ---
    Akubi!
[18:16] ---
    Kan!
[18:19] ---
    Akubi.
[18:21] ---
    Kan.
[18:33] ---
    Kan.
[18:43] ---
    Hey, let go of Akubi!
[18:46] ---
    Hey! You!
[18:48] ---
    Let go! Let go!
[18:50] ---
    Let go! Let go!
[18:52] ---
    Let go!
[19:05] ---
    – Yay, we did it!
    – Poot.
[19:11] ---
    You okay, Akubi?
[19:13] ---
    Yeah… Thanks, Kan.
[19:21] ---
    The giant squid may've escaped,
    but we got its tentacle.
[19:26] ---
    It'll make plenty of sushi.
[19:29] ---
    Mr. Genko Sushi's going to be so happy.
[19:33] ---
    Let's hurry back.
[19:34] ---
    Poot!
[19:35] ---
    GENKO SUSHI
[19:37] ---
    I certainly appreciate all the trouble,
[19:40] ---
    but, boiled or grilled,
    this thing is inedible.
[19:43] ---
    What? Giant squids
    don't taste good?
[19:46] ---
    Let's see. Let me try…
[19:50] ---
    Bleurgh, it is disgusting!
[19:55] ---
    I was so sure that giant squid would
    be a surprise hit for this place.
[20:00] ---
    Sorry kid, I know you
    did your darndest.
[20:04] ---
    No, I'm sorry we couldn't be
    more helpful.
[20:08] ---
    Well. Since you're here…
[20:13] ---
    Try this.
[20:15] ---
    What's this?
[20:16] ---
    The sush has your face, Father.
[20:18] ---
    There's Akubi and the little guy too.
[20:20] ---
    I was just fooling around.
[20:24] ---
    It's delicious.
[20:26] ---
    Yeah, yummy.
[20:28] ---
    Really? Is it that good?
[20:31] ---
    You're a genius.
    It's King Genie sushi!
[20:33] ---
    King Genie sushi, huh?
[20:35] ---
    Sounds like that'll
    bring in some business.
[20:38] ---
    And then after that.
[20:40] ---
    CONVEYOR-BELT SUSHI KANEMAWARI
[20:44] ---
    Busy as always.
[20:46] ---
    I wonder if Genko Sushi
    is empty again.
[20:50] ---
    Can we space out
    a bit more?
[20:51] ---
    GENKO SUSHI
[20:53] ---
    There's a line at Genko Sushi!
[20:55] ---
    What the heck's going on?
[20:57] ---
    KING GENIE SUSHI
[21:00] ---
    King Genie sushi?
[21:02] ---
    Thank you!
[21:05] ---
    Oh, Kan?
[21:08] ---
    Manpukuzaka! By any chance,
    is that the King Genie sushi?
[21:11] ---
    Yes sir.
    Specifically, it is Tokyo-style King Genie sushi.
[21:14] ---
    Everyone raves about it.
[21:16] ---
    You don't say...
[21:18] ---
    Just look.
[21:19] ---
    Behind this whimsical design of edible art
[21:22] ---
    lies a symphony of flavors
    made possible only by a master sushi chef.
[21:32] ---
    Mmm, it's like a parade
    of delectable delights.
[21:39] ---
    I wonder what makes Father Tokyo-style?
[21:43] ---
    I don't know,
[21:44] ---
    but that owner had a better head
    for business than I thought.
[21:48] ---
    Instead of Tokyo-style,
[21:50] ---
    I wish he would've called my sushi,
    handsome genie style.
[22:05] ---
    Another satisfying yawn
[22:09] ---
    Another satisfying meal
[22:13] ---
    You know yawns are contagious
[22:18] ---
    Happiness is being with you
[22:22] ---
    Even if we’re far, far apart
[22:26] ---
    I will always be by your side
[22:31] ---
    Can you hear this voice of mine?
[22:35] ---
    All right, here we go, let’s jump!
[22:39] ---
    Hooray hooray, it’s all right,
[22:41] ---
    we will find our way
[22:43] ---
    Though there may be
    nothing guiding us

[22:48] ---
    Hooray hooray, our dreams
    will come true

[22:52] ---
    We're wishing with our hearts
    (one more time)

[22:56] ---
    Hooray hooray, it’s all right,
[22:59] ---
    there will be sun
[23:00] ---
    You know we're always
    better together

[23:05] ---
    Hooray hooray, we send happiness
    to one another

[23:11] ---
    all 'round the world
[23:13] ---
    We will surely meet again!

[23:28] ---
    I'm Nanako Yumemigachi.
[23:29] ---
    I'm Mihoshi Amanogawa.
[23:31] ---
    Mamenoki's fireworks festival
    is just around the corner!
[23:33] ---
    So tell me then,
    describe the perfect fireworks night.
[23:36] ---
    I'd be wearing my cotton kimono
[23:37] ---
    and I'd be having fun on my date
    we'd all be on dates.
[23:39] ---
    I want to be on a hill
    far from the fireworks
[23:42] ---
    and quietly watch them alone
    with my date.
[23:44] ---
    And then, you know…
[23:47] ---
    The next time on Genie Family 2020…
