[02:13] Emo
    Grandma? Whatcha lookin' at?
[02:15] Gram
    I was organizing the closet
    and found an old album.
[02:20] Emo
    I wanna see!
[02:23] Emo
    Mom and Dad in love!
[02:27] Emo
    Stupid Shunta. I made him cry!
[02:30] Emo
    Why did you keep that picture?!
[02:34] Gram
    Everything becomes a good memory in time.
[02:39] Gram
    Oh?
[02:41] Sign
    Moving to Kirarigaoka!
    Snapshot of the family together!
[02:43] Gram
    I'd thought I lost this, but it
    just got mixed up in the album...
[02:48] Emo
    Who's that?
[02:49] Gram
    A precious friend of mine.
[02:53] Gram
    I haven't seen her in so long.
    I wonder how she's doing...
[02:59] Shun
    Huh? She looks like Helperman!
[03:03] Emo
    Who's Yelperman?
[03:05] Shun
    Not Yelperman! Helperman.
[03:09] Shun
    When we're having a ball game,
[03:10] Shun
    she appears out of nowhere
    to help the losing team.
[03:16] Shun
    This lady looks just like her!
[03:18] Shun
    Of course, Helperman's much older...
[03:21] Shun
    Probably about your age, Grandma.
[03:24] Gram
    About my age?
[03:27] Gram
    I wonder...
[03:29] Emo
    No need to wonder!
[03:32] Emo
    Belcherman's gotta be the girl
     in that photo!
[03:35] Shun
    Helper—
[03:36] Emo
    Grandma, let's go see her!

    Yeah! Get around those bases!
[03:50] Rui
    So when does this Pepperman lady show up?
[03:54] Shun
    I don't know!
[03:55] Emo
    Whaddya mean, you don't know?!
[03:58] Rui
    Please, Helperman only appears
    when a team's in trouble.
[04:03] Emo
    What, really?
[04:05] Emo
    Then hurry up and drop
    your butts in hot water!
[04:07] Shu
    We're already winning! Don't be a jerk!
[04:09] Emo
    Shut your smart mouth
[04:11] Emo
    or else I'll treat you
     to the Hyper Emo Special!
[04:15] Rui
    But you already are!
[04:34] Rui
    She's here!
[04:42] Rui
    Helperman!
[04:47] Girl
    She's here again!
[04:48] Girl
    Helperman!
[04:49] Girl
    Go for it!
[04:50] Shun
    Figures. She came to help the other team...
[04:53] Gram
    Seems it's my turn.
[04:55] Shun
    Huh?
[04:59] ---
    What?
[05:03] Shun
    P-Pinch hitter! My grandma's coming in!
[05:06] ---
    Huh?
[05:18] Ump
    Strike!
[05:22] Ump
    Strike two!
[05:40] Ump
    Strike! She's out!
[05:59] Gram
    It's been ages!
[06:01] Gram
    How many years since we saw each other last?
[06:05] Toki
    I thought maybe you'd gotten a
    bit more athletic over the years,
[06:10] Toki
    but you're as awful at sports as ever.
[06:13] Toki
    Is this your daughter?
[06:15] Gram
    Certainly not! She's my daughter's daughter.
[06:17] Gram
    My grandbaby.
[06:19] Toki
    Of course. I guess I really have grown old!
[06:23] Emo
    I-I'm Moegi Emo!
[06:25] Emo
    The granddaughter in question!
[06:27] Toki
    I'm Urashima Tokiko.
[06:29] Toki
    I'm the head researcher at Pretty Radio Labs.
[06:34] Emo
    Pretty Radio
[06:35] Gram
    Tokiko here helped develop PriChan.
[06:43] Toki
    Emo-chan, do you know what this is?
[06:46] Emo
    It looks like a really big machine...
[06:50] Toki
    It was the first PriChan Cast ever made.
[06:53] Emo
    What?! That huge thing is a PriCast?!
[06:57] Toki
    The first one, yes.
[06:58] Toki
    But we worked and worked,
    and got it smaller and smaller.
[07:03] (Flashback) Toki
    Ta-dah!
[07:04] (Flashback) Toki
    It's finished: the PriCast 18!
[07:08] (Flashback) Toki
    Well? What do you think?
[07:09] (Flashback) Toki
    We've gotten it so small!
[07:12] (Flashback) Gram
    You call this small?
[07:13] (Flashback) Toki
    Now you can stream easily
    from anywhere in the world!
[07:17] (Flashback) Gram
    It doesn't look like it'd be that easy...
[07:20] (Flashback) Toki
    What are you talking about?
[07:21] (Flashback) Toki
    Just strap it to your back and
    you can stream while you walk around!
[07:30] Toki
    Of course, we finally got it down
    to proper handheld size, but...
[07:35] Gram
    It was quite a journey to get there.
[07:38] Gram
    I worked really hard for it!
[07:40] Gram
    Were you involved in creating
    the PriCast too, grandma?
[07:44] Gram
    Certainly not!
[07:45] Gram
    Tokiko and I have been friends since college.
[07:48] Gram
    I just thought what she was
    doing sounded interesting,
[07:52] Gram
    so I'd drop by the lab from time to time.
[07:55] Toki
    This was the PriCast 55.
[07:58] Emo
    Hey, it's a lot smaller!
[08:00] Toki
    Isn't it?
[08:01] Gram
    That was the first one
    that was really portable.
[08:05] Toki
    The problem was that it
    couldn't transmit a signal very far.
[08:10] Emo
    What signal?
[08:11] Toki
    The radio signals emitted by your PriCast
    are picked up by relay stations,
[08:16] Toki
    which send them to PriCasts all over.
[08:19] Toki
    That's how we watch PriChan shows.
[08:21] Toki
    But back in the day,
    its broadcast range was really quite short.
[08:24] Gram
    You more or less had to be in the same city.
[08:27] Emo
    So if you did a show, only the
    people in town could see it?
[08:32] Toki
    That's right.
[08:33] Toki
    And the slightest interference from
    the weather would take it all offline!
[08:37] Emo
    What the heck? That's not emolicious at all!
[08:41] Toki
    It certainly wasn't!
[08:43] Toki
    So if we wanted our show to reach
    people far away, we had to go to them!
[08:48] Emo
    How'd you do that?
[08:50] Toki
    We loaded up a trailer with relay machinery
    and took it all around the country!
[08:55] Gram
    That's right.
[08:56] Gram
    People could only stream and watch
    PriChans when the trailer was in town.
[09:13] (Flashback) Toki
    Three, two, one... Cue!
[09:17] (Flashback) Gram
    It's Sparkle Station!
[09:20] (Flashback) Gram
    Hi, people of Pukata City!
[09:22] (Flashback) Gram
    Feeling well?
[09:22] Sign
    Miss Martha
[09:24] (Flashback) Sign
    PriChan has come to your town!
[09:27] ---
    What?!
[09:28] Emo
    Grandma, you did a PriChan show?!
[09:31] Gram
    It started as advertising to let
    people know PriChan was in their area.
[09:38] Gram
    I'd just talk about this and that.
[09:41] Toeki
    It was so fun though, wasn't it?
[09:44] Toeki
    Moegi-kun handled the driving,
    and the three of us traveled the country...
[09:50] Sign
    Late Night Delicious Ramen
[09:50] Dad
    I like to head out on a journey
    and sing in the fresh air...
[09:57] Dad
    The lyrics just come to me...
[10:17] Toki
    But it didn't last long...
[10:20] (Flashback) Gram
    What? America?
[10:22] (Flashback) Toki
    Yes, a certain foundation
    has taken interest in me.
[10:25] (Flashback) Toki
    They want to help me develop a system that
    will let us broadcast PriChan worldwide!
[10:32] (Flashback) Toki
    When it's complete,
[10:33] (Flashback) Toki
    anyone will be able to stream a show
     from anywhere at any time
[10:38] (Flashback) Toki
    and share it with people all over the globe!
[10:46] (Flashback) Toki
    So, Martha... I want you to come with me.
[10:50] (Flashback) ---
    What?
[10:51] (Flashback) Toki
    You know more about PriChan
    than anyone except me.
[10:57] (Flashback) Toki
    I'd love to have your help!
[10:59] (Flashback) Toki
    And... I'm a little scared to go by myself.
[11:06] (Flashback) Emo
    Sorry...
[11:08] (Flashback) Emo
    Can I have some time to think?
[11:13] (Flashback) ---
    What?

[11:18] (Flashback) Toki

    When will you ever get
    a chance like this again?
[11:26] (Flashback) Dad
    You can't, Martha!
[11:32] (Flashback) Dad
    I won't let you go to America.
[11:35] (Flashback) Dad
    I'll never let you go!

    About the trip to America...
[12:05] (Flashback) Toki
    Oh, that?
[12:07] (Flashback) Toki
    Sorry, but I've decided to go by myself.
[12:10] (Flashback) ---
    What?
[12:11] (Flashback) Toki
    I mean, it's silly to talk
    about being scared at my age...
[12:16] (Flashback) Gram
    Tokiko?
[12:18] (Flashback) Toki
    I'm going to find my dream in America.
[12:21] (Flashback) Toki
    And I'm going to make it sparkle bright.
[12:25] (Flashback) Toki
    So, Martha...
[12:28] (Flashback) Toki
    You'd better find your own happiness...
[12:31] (Flashback) Toki
    with Moegi-kun.
[12:37] Toki
    It's been so long since then, hasn't it?
[12:41] Toki
    Yes...
[12:43] Toki
    Oh, that reminds me.

[12:58] Emo
    So that's an old PriTicket?
[13:01] Emo
    Yes, the first one ever printed. Very rare!
[13:05] Emo
    I always wanted to exchange one with you.
[13:09] Gram
    Tokiko...
[13:12] Gram
    But I don't have a PriTicket
    to trade with you.
[13:16] Emo
    Then you can get one now!
[13:19] ---
    Huh?
[13:20] Emo
    I'll lend you my PriCast.
[13:22] Emo
    Then you can stream your own show.
[13:25] Toki
    Oh, and if you get enough likes,
    it'll give you a PriTicket!
[13:30] ---
    Yeah!
[13:31] Gram
    But I haven't done it in decades...
[13:35] Toki
    What's this? Losing your nerve?
[13:37] Toki
    Have you gotten too old?

    Now you've gone and done it!
