We're going to find her!~noda
Next time!
Bijou's memorable picture book!
See you next time!
Paradise Hamsubs presents...
Bijou's memorable picture book!
Look, Hamtaro!
It's snowing! Isn't it beautiful?
Yeah, it's really beautiful!~nanoda
Hey Hamtaro, do you know? Today we're going to Maria's mansion to play!
To Maria's? Then I'll see Bijou!~noda
It's such a beautiful ballad.
It's a beautiful sound.~nanoda
It's making me sleepy.
Hearing Maria's piano during this beautiful snowfall makes it even better, right?
Yeah!
What's wrong, Maria?
Sorry.
I just remembered something.
Maria...
What happened?~noda
A snowy day like today... made me remember...
Grandma Satomi's gentle face.
Grandma Satomi?
Yeah.
Grandma Satomi was my babysitter.
When I was a kid, she was always by my side.
Mama and Papa used to go to Paris in winter, so I could only have fun with Grandma Satomi to not feel lonely.
Grandma was really gentle.
By that time she was my only grandma.
I wonder if I'm doing well with the piano?
You're improving a lot!
I want to play more.
Then take this present!
Here, for you!
A picture book!
This is the picture book you made?
Yes! I wrote it just for you!
Ah, it's so cute!
That city reminds me of when I was a child.
Hey, hey, let's read it!
Okay, good idea!
In this town lived a young and cute girl named Maria.
Maria really liked the piano, but she had to practice a lot more!
So she was kind of sad.
Nice to meet you!
Who are you?
I'm the fairy of the snow!
Come on, let's play the piano together!
Thanks to the help of the fairy hamster, Maria was able to improve a lot with her piano lessons!
And then...
There!
Maria performed a snow concert!
Cool, it's an incredible story!
And what was this fairy hamster's name?
The name...
I guess...
NOTE: She says "Ribbon-chan", her Japanese name, I'm just translating it as Bijou.
What about Bijou?
Bijou?
That's a cute and beautiful name!
If I ever get a hamster, I'm going to call her Bijou!
It's a promise!
Thanks... then it's a promise!
But when Spring arrived, I had to go with Mama and Papa to Paris to attend classes.
I would always remember Grandma.
I won't forget about you, Maria, ever!
Grandma...
So that's it.
So that's why Maria give Bijou her name.~noda
Wasn't Grandma Satomi happy when you returned to Japan?
That's... I don't know where she lives anymore.
No matter how many letters I send... they all return.
I want to be with her.
I really want to.
Maria...
I didn't know... that Maria had memories this valuable.~noda
Maria really wants to see her grandma.
Hey, is there any way we can go and search for Grandma Satomi?
That's right, we can find her!
Yes!
Okay, let's do it!~nanoda
Thanks, everyone!
We'll borrow the letter and the picture book, then.
I'm sorry, Maria!~nanoda
We will make sure to return it!~noda
A picture book?
And a letter.
So you want to deliver these two things to that Grandma Satomi's place, right?
That's right! That's why we would be pleased to have everyone's help!~noda
That's kind of difficult.
That's right...
just with a letter.
How about it? This time it wasn't that cold, was it?
It was really cold.
That's mean, Pashmina.
That's it, I've got a good idea!
A good idea?
We just need to gather a lot of sunflower seeds around Maria's mansion!
That way, her grandma will come, guided by the nice smell!
I see!
That won't do.
Her grandma is a human, not a hamster.
I-I see.
I wonder what we can do?
A mystery is only a mystery if you look for its answer.
And all you need is a scope.
Jingle!
Long time no see, Hamuko!
I'm not Hamuko, I'm Hamtaro!~nanoda
There's only one way to know where Grandma Satomi is.
What is the only way?~noda
Follow me, if you please.
I think I overestimated myself.
T-Then?
What is the only one way to look for Grandma Satomi?
That's something Sabu should know.
He is a man of the world.
Go look for Sabu?
That's all?
Let's look for Sabu quickly!
Satomi... Satomi...
I don't really know that name.
Sabu, please!~nanoda
Hey Françoise, do you know anything?
In the end, it's useless.
What? Are you saying you know that tower?
That tower?
When you were little, you used to go there?
When she was little?~nanoda
Now that I remember it...!
When I was little, I lived in a place like this.
That's the place where she lived when she was a kid!~noda
I-I see!
Could it be that Grandma Satomi lives there again?~noda
Yeah!
Do your best, Bijou!
We're counting on you, Hamtaro!
Everyone, we're leaving!~noda
We will find Grandma Satomi! Definitely, we will!~noda
The snow turned into a blizzard.~noda
Don't give up, Françoise!
It's that town!~nanoda
Just a little more, Françoise!~dechuwa
Françoise!
Thanks for doing your best, Françoise!
Thanks, Françoise!
Just a little more until we arrive at that town!~nanoda
Bijou and Françoise, you can wait here!~noda
I don't want to!~dechuwa
I'm going too!~dechuwa
But...
For Maria's sake, I'll do everything to find Grandma Satomi!~dechu
Ah, she's so cute!
I've known your name for a long time!
Bijou, that's going to be your name!
As I promised to my dear grandma.
That's why. Please, I want to go too, Hamtaro!~dechu
Okay, I've got it!~noda
Is it cold, Bijou?
I'll be okay!~dechuwa
Let's do our best, Bijou!~noda
Y-Yes.
Bijou, are you okay? Bijou!
Yeah... I'm okay.~dechu
Jeez... and we're so close to the town.
Do your best, do your best!
Okay, we're riding that truck!~noda
Yeah!
Dang!
We did it!
Big success!
With this, we will arrive at the town!~noda
We were saved, right?
Hey Papa, are we heading to Satomi's?
Yeah, I want to see Satomi's picture book!
I've got it!
Yay!
Bijou... she wants to see Satomi's picture book, meaning...
Yeah, could it be?
Satomi!
Here it is!~nanoda
Satomi!
Welcome, Akira, Minako!
Are you looking for a new picture book?
We were wrong.~dechuwa
That girl is not her.~dechu
It looks like it.~noda
I wonder if she's not in this town?
That she was here when she was a child may not have been such a clever clue.~noda
She's here. She's surely in this town!~dechuwa
But... Bijou...
I'll keep searching!~dechuwa
Bijou!
She's here for sure! For sure!~dechuwa
Wait, Bijou!~noda
Bijou, what's wrong?~noda
Hamtaro... that...
The chapel of the picture book!~nanoda
It's beautiful.
This song...
It's the song that Maria was playing!~nanoda
At that house!~nanoda
Bijou, this time, there's no doubt!~noda
Yeah!
Mom, you love this song!
Yeah, so that I don't forget. This song was the one she practiced so much.
Maria, how are you doing now?
We found her!~dechuwa
It's Grandma Satomi!~nanoda
There's no doubt!~noda
Grandma! Maria wanted to see her grandma!~dechuwa
Please!
What's wrong, Mama?
Bijou?
Just now, I had the feeling...
It was my imagination, I guess.
It's impossible for the Bijou of the picture book...
This is...
from Maria?
We did it, Bijou!~noda
Yeah!
Maria, did you return to Japan?
Grandma Satomi, are you doing well?
Every time I practice with the piano, I remember you.
When we said goodbye... I'll always remember it.
Grandma, I have those very happy memories from when I was a child.
When I felt sad or lonely, you always went to so much trouble.
But you were always so kind to me, always helping me.
Every time Grandma came, I had a really happy and fun time!
To be able to see Grandma again, I keep practicing hard.
If I become a genius, then maybe we can perform that snow concert for the world, and you would be able to see it.
That's why I'm always practicing.
I want to see you, Grandma.
Everyone, sorry for making you wait!~nanoda
You're late!
Good morning, Hamtaro!
Good morning!~nanoda
Come on everyone, let's hurry and go to Maria's mansion!~noda
Let's do it, Hamtaro!
Yeah!
Here we go!
There she is!
The plan is starting!~nanoda
Yeah!
Huh? It's open.
Weird, I made sure to close it earlier.
C-Could it be?
Grandma Satomi.
So many memories.
Grandma Satomi!
Maria...
How? How?
Maria!
Grandma!
I missed you!
I missed you too, Maria!
Thanks for your letter!
Letter? Did you get my letter?
Yeah, I was really happy!
Grandma...
It's amazing to think that the cute Maria grew this big.
Grandma... I kept our promise!
If I ever get a hamster, I'm going to call her Bijou!
It's a promise!
Yeah, a promise!
Come out!
Look, it's Bijou!
Bijou...
I'm glad for you, Maria.
I'm glad for you too, Bijou!~noda
I'm really glad!~noda
I got a call from Maria earlier.
She was with her Grandma Satomi.
Maria's voice was really happy.
It made me happy too!
And me too!~nanoda
Hey, Hamtaro... Could it be that this beautiful snow performed a miracle?
Now they can have the snow concert!~nanoda
Today was really fun, but tomorrow will be even better, right, Hamtaro?
Heke!
I'm Hamtaro!
And I'm Laura!
Heke!
When I was going to Oxnard's house, I found a cute girl hamster called Barrette!~noda
Barrette was her name, huh?
A girl who can knit is awesome!
She's a really happy girl!~nanoda
Okay, let's play with the Ham-Hams in the snow!~noda
Next time!
Knitting Barrette!
See you next time!
