Rilakkuma and Kaoru (2019) s01e01 Episode Script

Cherry Blossom

1
Spring is here.
We'll have new staff joining the company.
Now that I'm a senior,
I must set a good example
by taking care of my appearance.
Look, your bed head is fixed, Rilakkuma.
SAMEJIMA CORP.
Good morning, everyone.
This year, the number of new staff joining
the General Affairs Department is
zero.
Unfortunately, due to the downturn
in recent years,
new recruitment is cut down
- by 30 percent.
- What?
And the salaries of all employees
are cut by 10 percent.
We're fully aware that
all of you work hard every day
for the company.
But it'd be great
if you could avoid working overtime
and try to finish your work
within regular hours.
Avoid overtime? No problem.
I didn't intend on doing it anyway.
From Mina?
Mina: I wonder how many of us will join
the cherry blossom picnic this year.
Kaoru, are you arranging a date?
No way. It's the cherry blossom picnic
with my friends.
Friends? Boys or girls?
All girls.
How boring.
The six of us girls from college
had decided to go on a cherry blossom
picnic every year together.
But the party has been getting smaller
in recent years.
Some of them got married, some had kids
and some went overseas.
I see.
So we're wondering how many of us
can make it this year.
Wow, sounds like you're being left behind.
What?
Hey, Korilakkuma. Don't do that.
What? Kiiroitori, you want some too?
Too bad, guys.
My friends all look forward
to the food I cook every year.
I can't help it.
Hey, I said no.
The three of you
can make pancakes or something
and have your own
cherry blossom picnic. Okay?
All right. See you!
Hi, Landlord, see you.
You're in a good mood, Kaoru.
Somewhere here, maybe?
All right. Spot secured.
The flowers are in full bloom.
They're late.
They should be here by now.
Tomomi: Sorry. Can't make it today.
Her kid has a fever?
Poor child.
Yukino: I haven't finished my work. Sorry.
She's working? It's Saturday, though.
Another one?
It's from Rin.
A book signing session
for having sold more than 50,000 copies?
Seriously?
MAMI
"I finally got a boyfriend
for the first time in eight years."
He looks younger than her.
Whoa, wait.
Is she saying that she isn't coming?
It's from Mina.
"Don't tell me the picnic is today."
You're the one who organized it!
What is this? A game of punishment?
No way. Am I really being left alone?
Now I do feel left behind.
I don't feel good.
Hi, guys.
You can eat it.
What? Now?
Forget it.
Rilakkuma, you're a big eater!
None of them came.
I'm the only one who hasn't changed.
It's beautiful.
Why are cherry blossoms so beautiful?
Maybe because they're pink?
This gorgeous pink
only lasts for a brief moment.
A week out of an entire year.
Normally, they're just plain,
unnoticeable trees.
How wonderful they are.
What if I become pink too?
I shall dress myself in pink
and say, "I'm here!"
As if I'm announcing to everyone.
Perhaps then, I'd be more
I'd be more
What would I be?
Never mind.
