(愛してナイト) 1983
Hashizo's big brother, Go, is always too busy - what with school and his rockband, The Bee Hives - to spend much time with the very young boy. The only constant companion in his life is his cat, Juliano. One day he disobeys "Go-chan"'s wishes and goes to "the next town over" for some fun, but bringing Juliano along causes big problems on a quest for a meal. Meanwhile, a girl named Yaeko is returning home from errands to help with the family okonomiyaki restaurant, but forgets one of the items she was supposed to get, and so heads out again. She soon meets poor Hashizo, who is hiding in a pipe from the rain, and brings him back with her. This fateful event leads to Yaeko literally bumping into Go after walking Hashizo halfway home, but the first impression she gets isn't a good one. She still manages to get herself implanted into Go's mind, though, and that night he works on a song he's been struggling with, with a renewed passion.
This anime definitely shows its age - it's very, very 80s - but I adore it all the same. I've been wanting to see this for a few years now, and only recently did somebody start fansubbing it (hope they don't stop!). Anyway, it's cute. Did I actually spot some dark-skinned characters that spoke fluent Japanese? I don't know if they're supposed to be Japanese with a tan, or gaijin, or what. Still interesting.
