SIGN    Tama of the 3rd District
SIGN    Have You Seen My Tama?
SIGN    Unruly Paint Battle
[01:31] everyone
    "Unruly paint battle!"
[01:38] Teacher
    Fortunately, the weather is lovely today.
[01:41] teacher
    Let's leave the school and
    stretch our legs a little.
[01:45] teacher
    Find a nice view in town,
    and paint a picture.
[01:49] teacher
    Remember, you have to make it there and
    back within the time limit, so don't go too far.
[01:53] students
    We won't!
SIGN    3rd Street Elementary School
[02:18] Tora
    Uh oh!
[02:20] Koma
    What's wrong?
[02:21] Tora
    There's a whole bunch of
    kids coming this way!
[02:24] Momo; Koma
    What?
[02:34] Pochi
    What is it? What do you see?
[02:37] Tora
    There are kids closing in on the park!
[02:40] Pochi
    Huh? Why?
[02:42] Tora
    "Why"? Well, that's...
[02:43] Tora
    I wonder why.
[02:45] Tama
    For now, let's hide and watch a while.
[02:47] everyone
    Okay.
[03:11] Tama
    There are sparkly things
    lined up in those boxes.
[03:14] Momo
    They have pretty paper wrapped around them.
[03:17] Tora
    Maybe it's some kind of snack
    we've never eaten before.
[03:20] Beh
    Let's hide and watch a little longer.
[03:32] girl
    Huh?
[03:50] Tama
    Something blue came wriggling
    out of the shiny thing.
[03:53] Tama
    When he put it on the paper,
    the blue spread everywhere!
[03:56] Koma
    The one I saw was red!
[03:58] Tora
    Then, is this green?
[04:01] Tama
    Tora! When did you get here?
[04:04] Tora
    Seems like this isn't a snack.
[04:06] Momo
    So, the things we see
    everyday that have color...
[04:09] Momo
    is it because someone paints them like that?
[04:12] Nora
    Now that you mention it...
[04:13] Nora
    You've seen humans in town painting
    houses and walls and things, right?
[04:19] everyone
    We have! We have!
[04:22] Beh
    And there was someone painting
    something on the street, too!
[04:25] everyone
    There was! There was!
[04:28] Tama
    What's wrong Pochi?
[04:29] Pochi
    So that means that people have
    painted color on everything we see?
[04:37] Tomekichi
    Okay! Here we go!
[04:39] everyone
    Yeah!
[04:41] Tomekichi
    Hup!
[04:46] Tomekichi
    There! There! There!
[04:49] Tomekichi
    Perfect!
[04:51] others
    Hup!
[04:55] others
    There!
[05:35] Tomekichi
    And the sky's gotta be blue!
[05:38] Pochi
    And then, the sunset is...
[05:40] Tomekichi
    And the sunset's gotta be red!
[05:47] Beh
    Then, all those kids... They're
    practicing coloring the town.
[05:51] Tora
    If it's practice, they shouldn't
    mind sharing a little of the color
[05:55] Tora
    from the shiny things with us, right?
[05:57] Koma
    How will we get them to share?
[05:59] Koma
    We can't just waltz in there, right?
[06:01] Tora
    Don't worry.
[06:03] Tora
    I know the perfect way.
[06:08] Takeshi
    Tama!
[06:09] Emi
    Momo!
[06:10] girl
    Are those cats yours,
    Takeshi-kun? They're so cute!
[06:12] Takeshi
    His name is Tama, and that's
    Momo. She's Emi-chan's cat.
[06:17] girl
    I want to draw this cat!
[06:18] boy
    You can't do that. We came to paint scenery.
[06:21] Takeshi
    Then all you have to do is paint
    both, the scenery and the cat.
[06:23] Emi
    I'm going to do that too!
[06:25] Emi
    After all, I've never drawn
    a picture of Momo before.
[06:28] Boy
    Me too!
[06:29] boy 2
    Huh? Then, me too!
[06:43] boy
    Huh?
[06:44] Takeshi
    Pochi!
[06:45] girl
    We have more models!
[06:47] boy
    Their poses have changed!
[06:50] boy
    Guess there's no helping it...
[06:52] boy
    Darn, darn, darn...
[07:04] Tora
    Okay!
[07:11] boy
    What's wrong?
[07:13] Takeshi
    Those are cat paw prints, aren't they?
[07:15] Takeshi
    Tama!
[07:16] Takeshi
    Your friends aren't hiding around
    here and playing tricks, are they?
[07:22] Emi
    My paints!
[07:24] Takeshi
    Mine too!
[07:26] girl
    They ran away!
[07:27] boy
    They're all in it together!
[07:29] Takeshi
    That Tama!
[07:31] boy
    Takeshi, you're his master, aren't you?
[07:33] boy
    Do something!
[07:39] Takeshi
    It's almost noon.
[07:41] Takeshi
    Let's eat lunch while we
    think up a counter-plan.
[07:51] Tama
    Are you okay?
[07:52] Beh
    It tastes weird!
[07:57] Nora
    You look like a tiger!
[07:58] Pochi
    That's amazing!
[08:00] Pochi
    If you use what's in here,
    you can change to any color!
[08:18] Takeshi
    What are you doing over here?
[08:25] Takeshi
    What's with those faces? Are you
    going to watch soccer or something?
[08:29] boy
    Man, look at how much paint they wasted.
[08:36] boy
    I don't have enough green.
[08:38] boy
    Hey! Green!
[08:41] Takeshi
    Pochi, go.
[08:56] girl
    Okay. Put a cloud here.
[09:02] girl
    Very good!
[09:19] boy 2
    Okay!
[09:21] boy 2
    I'm done!
[09:25] Tora
    I can't take any more!
[09:29] Tora
    My patience has completely worn out!
[09:32] boy 3
    Hey! I found a soccer ball!
[09:35] boy 3
    There!
[09:36] Takeshi
    All right!
[09:38] boy
    Wait!
[09:39] girls
    Takeshi-kun! You can do it!
[09:45] boy 3
    Takeshi! Over here!
[09:53] boy 3
    That little...
[09:55] boy 3
    Stop right there!
[10:03] Emi
    My painting!
[10:05] girl
    Oh, that's so mean!
[10:10] Takeshi
    What's wrong?
[10:14] boy 3
    Stop!
[10:17] Takeshi
    Tama!
[10:18] boy
    Those little...
[10:21] boy 3
    Stop!
[10:29] teacher
    What are all of you doing?
[10:33] male teacher
    Honestly. I come to check on
    you and this is what I find...
[10:37] male teacher
    Huh?
[10:38] male eacher
    What is this? Are you imitating Picasso?
[10:42] male teacher
    You need to take this more seriously!
[10:45] male teacher
    In what world will you
    find red or green cats?
[10:53] male teacher
    Th-This is...
[10:55] Takeshi
    Teacher. Teacher!
[10:58] male teacher
    Huh?
[10:58] Takeshi
    Behind you.
[11:14] male teacher
    All the paintings look like scribbles.
    There's no dignity to them.
[11:19] male teacher
    These are the worst in the
    history of the school.
[11:22] teacher
    This year, we have such interesting
    paintings, don't you think?
[11:25] male teacher
    Huh?
[11:27] Takeshi
    When our homeroom teacher saw the paintings
    with the paw prints, he was furious.
[11:32] Takeshi
    But, our art teacher looked at
    the paintings that made him yell,
[11:34] Takeshi
    "Are you imitating Picasso?"
[11:36] Takeshi
    and she really liked them.
[11:39] Takeshi
    Those paintings were exhibited
    in an overseas contest.
[11:43] Takeshi
    They even won awards,
    surprising the whole school.
[11:47] Takeshi
    But the fact that the ones
    who painted those paintings
[11:49] Takeshi
    were Tama and the others... that's a secret.
SIGN    Flute's Whisper
[11:58] everyone
    "Flute's whisper!"
[12:13] Tama
    I'm home!
[12:16] Takeshi
    This is bad! I'll be late! Late!
[12:22] Takeshi
    Don't bother me!
[12:24] Takeshi
    I have no time to play with you, Tama!
[12:26] Takeshi
    Oh, no! I don't have time for this!
[12:34] Emi
    Oh, dear! I'll be late!
[12:38] Emi
    Honestly! I don't have time to
    play with you right now, Momo!
[12:42] Emi
    Oh, I have to hurry!
[12:45] Emi
    I'm going!
SIGN    Matsu's Bathhouse
[12:49] Tama
    What? Your house too, Pochi?
[12:51] Pochi
    Yes. Yesterday, they even forgot my food.
[12:55] everyone
    What?
[12:56] Koma
    They forgot at my place too.
[12:58] Nora
    Mine too!
[12:59] Tama
    What?
[13:01] Nora
    The young man at the liquor
    store who always gives me milk.
[13:03] Pochi
    Oh, I see!
[13:06] Momo
    It seems like everyone
    on Third Street is busy.
[13:10] Tama
    So it wasn't just Takeshi-kun and Emi-chan.
[13:13] Tama
    Huh?
[13:15] Tama
    It's Takeshi-kun!
[13:18] Takeshi
    I just don't know what to do.
[13:21] Takeshi
    Man, I hate this.
[13:24] Takeshi
    After I get home, I have to
    go straight to cram school.
[13:27] Emi
    That's so true.
[13:28] Takeshi
    If I get good grades on my next test, then...
[13:31] Emi
    If you do, then what?
[13:32] Takeshi
    They told me that I won't need
    to go to cram school any more!
[13:35] Emi
    Then, you need to study more!
[13:37] Takeshi
    I guess so.
[13:39] Takeshi
    Man... I have to study even after I get home?
[13:41] Koma
    Why are humans so busy?
[14:09] cat
    What do you think? Feels good, right?
[14:11] Tama
    Yeah. I don't know why,
    but it feels really good.
[14:14] cat
    There's a place you can
    always feel this good.
[14:17] cat
    Won't you come with me?
[14:19] Tama
    What? There's a place like that?
[14:23] everyone
    Really?
[14:24] cat
    Of course.
[14:25] Pochi
    What kind of place is it?
[14:27] cat
    Your person... Your friends...
[14:30] cat
    the weather... food...
[14:33] cat
    whether to play or sleep...
[14:35] cat
    It's a place where you don't
    have to think about any of that.
[14:37] cat
    A place where everything feels nice and
    you don't need to think about anything.
[14:42] cat
    Humans call the place Utopia.
[14:46] cat
    What do you think? Will you come?
[14:48] cat
    It's not like your people
    play with you anyway, right?
[14:51] Tama
    It's because they're busy right now.
[14:53] Tama
    Once they're not busy anymore,
    I'm sure they'll play with us!
[14:56] cat
    Really...
[14:58] cat
    I wonder.
[15:01] Yuzuko
    Well, as you can see, we're
    in the service industry.
SIGN    Matsu's
    Bathhouse
[15:04] Yuzuko
    We can't rest.
SIGN    Matsu's Bathhouse
[15:07] Yuzuko
    But, to tell you the truth, a week, no...
[15:10] Yuzuko
    I'd like to spend two or three
    days just doing nothing.
[15:14] Yuzuko
    What was it that you wanted here?
[15:17] stranger
    Let's make it so you are less busy.
[15:20] Yuzuko
    Huh? Can you do that?
[15:23] stranger
    Yes.
[15:24] Yuzuko
    Really?
[15:26] Yuzuko
    Well then, can you make it so I
    can rest for two or three days?
[15:29] stranger
    Yes. In exchange...
[15:31] stranger
    If you were less busy... would
    you play with your pet cat?
[15:35] Yuzuko
    What?
[15:37] Yuzuko
    Of course! If I weren't busy, I'd
    play with her as much as she wanted!
[15:42] stranger
    That's a promise.
[15:44] Yuzuko
    Yes, yes, I understand.
[15:52] Yuzuko
    What's this? Just playing the flute
    can make it so I'm less busy?
[15:58] stranger
    It's a promise.
[16:01] Yuzuko
    R-Right...
[16:13] Yasushi
    I mean, it's just the two of us
    running this place 24 hours a day!
[16:16] Zenji
    Things come in from everywhere, and I
    have to ship them out to everywhere.
[16:21] Zenji
    Despite how it looks, it's a tough job.
[16:24] Tomekichi
    Well, yeah, even I want time off, you know?
[16:27] stranger
    If you had time, you would play
    with your cat, wouldn't you?
[16:30] Tomekichi
    Of course I would!
[16:32] Unokichi
    Will just playing the
    flute make me less busy?
[16:37] stranger
    It's a promise.
[16:42] stranger
    Then, it's a promise.
[16:45] Takeshi
    Y-Yes, sir.

[16:49] Emi
    Are you sure it was all right to
    make a weird promise like that?
[16:52] Takeshi
    Huh? It'll be fine.
[16:54] Takeshi
    It may be a promise, but
    it's just to play with Tama.
[16:56] Takeshi
    And anyway, there's no way him playing the
    flute would get me a 100 on my test...
[17:01] Emi
    What is it?
[17:03] Takeshi
    Now I think about it, I haven't
    played with Tama lately.
[17:13] Tama
    Takeshi-kun and Emi-chan seemed
    sort of lonely, didn't they?
[17:16] Momo
    What?
[17:18] Momo
    Yes.
SIGN    Matsu's Bathhouse
SIGN    Yamada Tofu
[18:00] Tomekichi
    Your place, too, huh?
[18:03] Unokichi
    I haven't had a single customer all day.
[18:06] Unokichi
    There's just no business.
[18:08] Unokichi
    I have so many customers that
    say no tofu but mine will do.
[18:12] Unokichi
    That's why I work myself to the bone
    every day, from morning 'til night.
[18:17] Unokichi
    I may have free time, but I just
    don't feel like playing with Pochi...
[18:20] Tomekichi
    Wait... Pochi?
[18:23] Tomekichi
    Did he come here, too? With
    a weird hat and a cape...
[18:27] both
    A man playing a flute came by?
SIGN    Yamada Tofu
[18:41] Unokichi
    I just don't feel like playing with Pochi...
[18:45] Yasushi
    Playing with Kuro won't bring customers in...
[18:49] Yuzuko
    This is no time to be playing with Koma!
[18:52] Tomekichi
    How can I play with Tora
    when I haven't done my work?
[18:56] Takeshi
    Oh, this is bad!
[19:00] Takeshi
    I never thought I'd actually
    get a 100... What do I do?
[19:04] Takeshi
    I don't think I'll be able to
    get a 100 on the next one...
[19:08] Takeshi
    I think I should go to cram school after all.
[19:15] cat
    Hey. So, you did come.
[19:17] cat
    That's just what humans are like, you see.
[19:20] cat
    Now, that place where you can
    forget all about your masters...

    we'll take you there now.

    Well, shall we go?

    What town shall we visit next?

    I'm going to be late! Late!

    When I get back, want to play?
[22:05] Unokichi
    Thank you for your business!
[22:07] Takeshi
    Today on Third Street, you can hear the
    voices of Tama and his friends playing.
[22:12] Takeshi
    No matter how busy I am...
[22:14] Takeshi
    when I hear them, somehow it
    makes me feel really good.
