Hey, everyone, we're going to start Kaleido Star.
When you watch Kaleido Star, please keep your room brightly lit, and sit as far from the TV as you can.
Well, well, well.
Do you have siblings? Nice older brothers or sisters.
Or darling younger brothers or sisters? Very soon, I'm going to be an older sister.
Is it a boy? Or is it a girl? I should be very happy, but I'm a little anxious.
I am.
I am.
The dream everyone is looking for must be someplace It has to be somewhere Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone Remember how I used to say I could make it to the end? I must have been pretending to be tough Everything I did was reckless and it never got me anywhere But you alone were always beside me The dream everyone is looking for must be somewhere You can start going forward From this moment, something will start I want to believe that The light I haven't seen yet is beaming toward the promised place Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone I know.
But, you don't need to worry.
I'm going to find a room where I can live with my friends, and we've decided to create our own company together.
I know, I'm sure it'll be hard, but I want to give it a try.
So, I don't think I'll go back there for a while.
Oh Really? Er Well What should I say? Congratulations Oh, that's why they say "Congratulations" on occasions like these.
I'm happy for you, Mother.
What? Really? Somehow, I sound weird? Well, I'm acting the same as usual.
Amazing Family Ties Amazing Family Ties Amazing Family Ties Amazing Family Ties All right.
As of today, a new life will start.
A new I should be happy.
But why do I feel this way? You don't need to look so sad.
I will come with you, Sora.
So, you're coming with me? Of course.
So, feel easy.
If you EVER peep into Mia or Anna's bath, you're going to immediately be food for Jonathan! Oh Yes! Thank you for waiting.
You're late.
You're late.
Do you have everything with you? Yes.
Then, let's go.
Until we find our own place, we'll take your offer and stay with your family.
Everyone in my family is also looking forward to seeing you guys.
Miss Sarah So, all you guys are also finally heading out.
Where are you going, Miss Sarah? I'm leaving for training, of course.
Bye Training? She left for training for singing.
Didn't she? Somehow, she looked like she left for martial arts' training.
Since it's Miss Sarah, it could be the case.
But, thanks to Ken's family, I was really saved.
My grandma felt relieved.
After all, a newspaper already printed an article saying that after Kaleido Stage's owner changed, the cast quit.
There is no way that I can turn young girls adrift into the streets.
Wow, you sound very manly.
Don't tease me.
Sorry.
Sora Are you worried about something? What? Oh No.
It's nothing like that.
SORA! What? Your suitcase! Oh, I remember Before you come to my house, there is something I want you to be prepared for Be prepared for? I've already spoken strictly to her about it But, my younger sister is especially This is it.
Wow It's like a park.
I know.
My father built it.
Your father? Amazing! Oh, I know.
And, about my younger sister Wow! It's Anna! It's really Anna! Here! Hold it, hold it! Pose, pose! My younger sister, Lucy, is a big Anna fan.
She doesn't think it's funny.
Ken! It's not nice to keep them outside for so long.
Here, hurry.
Come inside quick.
Go inside.
My mom is Hey Ben! Everyone is here! It's nice to meet you.
Oh, come in.
Really, all you do is rest.
You're wrong.
I'm trying to get the idea for a new design of Here, move, move.
Here, please, please.
My father designs furniture.
Don't be so modest, have a seat.
I'll make coffee.
Oh, thank you.
Here, Anna.
Hurry, hurry.
Have a seat, quick.
Wow! Anna is sitting on our couch! Ook Ook! Somehow Anna is different from what I had in my mind.
I'm very sorry.
So, this was no good either? Definitely.
I wonder if posing as a monkey is too ordinary Good! Oh, it's good! This is the last one.
I'll leave your luggage here.
Oh, thank you Wow This room is so adorable.
Sorry.
This used to be a kid's room.
So, it's kind of messy, but Not at all.
It's wonderful.
Did you design this, too? Yes, if you find anything you like, you can take it with you when you find your own place.
Really? Here.
This time hold this.
Ah! I still want to take more pictures of Anna! Well, take it easy until dinner.
Ah! I still want to take more pictures of Anna! Anna! I think we should find our apartment quickly.
Yes, we should.
A kid's room Once my father and mother's real child is born, I Sora, what's wrong? You've been depressed for a while.
What? I don't think I am.
When did he sneak in?! Sora? He's gone.
You! What's wrong, Sora? Is it a bug or something? Sora! What's the matter with you? I GOT YOU! I'm sorry for making all that noise.
How shall I say this? But to show you how sorry I feel, let me help you prepare dinner.
Us too Oh, thank you.
But you don't need to worry.
Our place is always noisy, and Ken used to jump off the bunk bed often when he was a child too.
He did? Yes.
He'd say that he'd be a Kaleido Star.
But, that boy, since he was a child, his heart was weak, and Even so, it wasn't so bad that he had any problems living a normal life.
So, he had a hard time giving up.
I understand how he feels.
But, as his mother, I couldn't let him do what he really wanted.
Even now, I'm nervous, worrying that he may say he wants to appear on stage one of these days.
KEN! Give me my camera back! No! As long as you have this, you'll keep chasing after Anna.
What's wrong with it? I'll brag about it to my friends.
Then, you should invite your friends here.
She is the real Anna.
Oh, that's a good idea! Dad, please don't say anything unnecessary.
I have a younger brother.
I did the same.
We used to fight all the time.
Me too.
When I had a quarrel with my mom, it was rough.
At our house I don't think we ever fought.
What? Now, let's have dinner.
Sora Ken Can't sleep? I was just enjoying the cool weather.
Sorry my place is so noisy.
No.
I think it's very nice.
Everyone says whatever is on their minds.
It's like a real family.
Even though they're your adopted parents, aren't they your real family? Yes, sure.
What am I saying? I thought so.
I think you're worried about something, aren't you? Oh Not at all.
On the contrary, there's something to celebrate.
My mother is going to have a baby.
Really? You're going to have a sibling.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
They couldn't have a baby for so long.
I thought they weren't having kids because they were concerned about me.
And if they were, I thought I'd feel so bad But I feel better now.
When my younger sister was born, I remember I felt a little sad.
This is something natural, but both my parents devoted all their energies to my newborn sister.
So I used to say unreasonable things on purpose, and gave my mother and father a hard time.
But I'm afraid I can never do anything like that; having a serious fight, or speaking my mind to them.
I'm afraid of destroying our family bonds.
I don't think it's like that.
Okay Please tell me anything.
I think I can be a family if it's with you.
You're right.
We're like family, you and me.
Sora Mia and Anna too.
Sora Mia and Anna too.
What? We're going to make our own Kaleido Stage.
It's no time to be depressed! First thing tomorrow, I will try hard to find an apartment! Well, good night, Ken.
No I didn't mean it like that.
Well, good night, Ken.
No I didn't mean it like that.
I know Since I'm with everyone, I should be able to keep going.
Also, I want to show my performances to both my mother and father.
Please be my friends forever too.
That Sora She gets rougher and rougher with me.
The Empress We're leaving! Aren't you tired? No.
A penthouse with a yard Amazing! Too expensive.
A standalone house in the suburbs might not be a bad idea! Too far.
How about here? It's less expensive and it looks like it's in a convenient location.
Hm No.
Mr.
Policeman.
Why is it not good? This place was robbed before.
What It's not easy to find a nice place.
Not necessarily.
This is it.
It's old.
This is it.
It's old.
It's not as bad as it looks.
The rent is cheap, it's in a convenient location, and I live here too.
Miss Kate! This is it.
Wow What do you think? I think it's pretty good.
I told you.
The inside is cleaner than I thought.
It's pretty big.
Oh The view is good, and Yeah, it motivates me.
Yes, it does.
I think this place is good.
Me too.
Then it's settled.
From here, we're going to start up our own Kaleido Stage.
By all means! Since I live just below, just let me know if there's anything you need.
Isn't it perfect? Everyone, why don't we have coffee or something in my room? In YOUR room? It's a little messy, but don't let it bother you.
I'm the one who usually cleans up this place.
A perfect place There's the distinct possibility we'll have to clean Miss Kate's room too.
Well I guess there is no such thing as the perfect deal.
Jerry, where's the coffee? Jerry? So, Mr.
Policeman's name is Jerry.
It's so cute.
It's too good for him.
Who cares what kind of name I have?! Jerry! Who cares what kind of name I have?! Who knew we would find a place so fast? Yeah, we're lucky.
Lucy will be disappointed to lose you.
Shall we leave Anna alone there? Don't! Someone's waiting in front of the house.
Oh, Sora Sora Father Mother What? Thank you.
You're welcome.
Since she came here all the way from Japan in that kind of condition, I wonder if they came here to take Sora back with them.
After we finally found our own apartment You surprised me 'Cause all of a sudden you were waiting for me.
When we went to your dormitory, they said they had no idea where you went.
So it took a while to find this place.
Oh, sorry.
I meant to call you later.
Anyway, are you okay coming all the way here? I'm fine.
Your mother insisted on coming here.
Because I was concerned after we talked on the phone.
Did I sound that bad? It's weird.
If you're worried about me, I'm fine.
Over the phone, I can't tell whether you're doing all right or not.
Oh, really? Oh, by the way, we found an apartment today.
That policeman Father met referred it to us.
So don't you feel relieved? And there's even a doctor living on the floor below us.
Her name is Miss Kate.
I think Mr.
Policeman is secretly in love with her.
Sora I think Mr.
Policeman is secretly in love with her.
Sora Why don't you come back to Japan for a while? Because, if you quit Kaleido Stage, I know you will have a hard time making a living.
If you're worried about that, my friends and I will Even though you're going to create your own Kaleido Stage, if you rest for a little while in Japan, you will get new ideas.
And if you do that, we don't need to worry about you every day either.
So, can you Before long, you won't have time to worry about me.
Once you have your own child Oh Sora Don't be silly! Why wouldn't we worry about you?! We'd never be like that! Sorry No I didn't come here to say this.
I should also apologize.
Sorry Midori? Mother Oh, dear! Ken, call an ambulance.
Yes! Ben, get a car ready! Midori, be strong! Please lie down.
The ambulance will be here soon.
Midori! Midori! Mother! A Cesarean section? But she's only seven months pregnant It's an emergency situation.
There are no other alternatives.
Hey, Ben.
Why don't you calm down a bit? Oh Yeah What shall I do? Sora, be strong.
I'm sure that she'll be all right.
It's because I said something terrible to her That's why my mother It's not your fault.
No, it is my fault.
I just thought once my mother has a baby There would be no room for me I know my mother is so happy about having a baby.
But I can't feel happy for her from the bottom of my heart, and I don't like being like this.
And I thought if I go back to Japan now, my mother will sense that part of me that I don't like.
That's why I said something like that.
Mother was trying so hard to be a family But I I broke it.
Sora.
Aren't you worried about your mother from the bottom of your heart right now? You're wishing that she will have the baby without any problems.
Don't you think that's what family is all about? All of you are a real family.
No matter what happens, your family will never fall apart.
Both your mother and her baby are trying hard Let's cheer them on.
Yes.
Thank you, Ken.
Mother, please hold on.
And, you too, baby Please Please be born safely I'm waiting for you.
It's a girl.
Your mother is calm.
She's resting now.
Thank you very much.
She's so tiny.
Your mother was only seven months pregnant.
But she's fine.
You were the same.
What? You were in an incubator like she is now.
Back then, your mother and father were so worried about you, and they blamed themselves too.
Unable to hold you for a while, every time when they saw you in the incubator, they used to tell you to be strong and grow up healthy.
I remember very well that they were cheering for you like that.
When you told me you wanted to join Kaleido Stage, the first thing came to my mind was: "If he were here, what would your father say?" No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't get the answer in the end.
But, perhaps, I thought he would have been bewildered and sent you off while worrying about you like I did.
Tiny Sora became so big, and she found what she wanted to do by herself.
But your mother and I will never stop worrying about you.
Father Sora, go see your mother.
Yes.
Sora I scared you, didn't I? Mother, I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault.
Yes it is.
I said something terrible.
I'm sorry.
But that was not what I really think.
That was I thought I knew how anxious you were, but I said something that drove you into a corner, and put you in a situation that you had to say something you didn't want to.
I'm sorry.
Not at all.
I'm sorry.
Not at all.
To tell you the truth, I wanted you near me when the baby was born.
After all, you are the only big sister she has.
But you said something like "I'm not coming home" on the phone.
So, I lost my composure.
I told your father something selfish, saying that I'd go right over to see you as soon as I hung up.
But thanks to that, my wish came true even though it was different from what I was expecting.
Mother Hey, come closer, Sora.
Yes.
Thank you for growing up a healthy girl.
When we decided to adopt you, I was anxious, wondering whether I could be your mother.
I think it's the same kind of anxiety you had.
When you called me "Mother" for the first time, I was so happy and I secretly cried.
Now, when you're away from me, I worry about you.
But, when I think that you're doing fine and working hard, it makes me happy.
I adore you so much, Sora.
Mother If you have any problems, you have to tell me, at any time.
Okay? Yes.
Hey, Sora.
What? Can you name the baby? Me? Are you sure? I always wanted you to name my baby.
Okay.
They said she had a healthy baby! I'm glad! Let's celebrate! Celebrate! Call everyone! I'm glad! Let's celebrate! Celebrate! Call everyone! Everyone? Who is she talking about? The Empress card also represents childbirth.
Wow She is adorable.
A little sister Congratulations, Sora.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything this time.
You're welcome.
But we didn't do anything extraordinary.
You have such a nice son.
What! A nice son? Oh, well You did a good job, little sister.
I will too.
I will do my best here for my dream.
Oh I decided! What? The baby's name! Yume! I want to name her Yume.
"Dream.
" Yume Isn't it a nice name, Father? Father? Oh No Well Yume It would be nice if she grows up fast.
Next Kaleido Star I need to repay Sora's kindness a lot.
And so, it's our show, a new challenge.
Even though Miss Layla rejected it.
To our surprise, Rosetta came here to help us.
And a mysterious shadow dashingly appeared like the wind Who is she really? Who? Who? Next time on Kaleido Star, "An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero" An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero Next time on Kaleido Star, "An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero" An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero My wings are my dream and on towards the sky I'm here between the sky and the roads, and facing against the wind And I'm facing forward so the sorrow doesn't rain down ever again I came all the way here after I jumped over that wall There are many times when I just want to run away But I'm still here, so, I'm not daunted that much The poem I scribbled down, I can just start writing over from the beginning Unable to write it well, I'm laughing
