Golf Lessons

I was practicing all the time,
but my golf game just
wasn't improving.

A friend recommended that
I see a golf coach he knew,
and I figured it couldn't hurt.

I went to our meeting place,
expecting a middle-aged guy
in ugly pants. That...wasn't
what I got.

Monkey: "Hi! You can call
me Monkey. I'm going to
show you some tricks to
improve your score."

Mandrill: "Hellooo! I'm a
mandrill! I help Monkey
out sometimes."

I thought about asking for
their qualifications, but
before I knew it, I was
showing them my swing.

Monkey: "Great form! You
just need to work on your
timing."

Mandrill: "And REAL golfers
can hit a ball no matter what.
Even if it's moving. Fast."

Monkey: "See that whale
that kinda looks like an
island out there? When I
give you the cue, swing
toward that."

Mandrill: "And remember that
it's not about power. Listen
for Monkey's cue, and time
your swing on that."

Monkey: "Oo kiii. ♪"
Golf ball: *clunk*

Mandrill: "Not bad. But
anyone can get one lucky
shot. You're gonna have to
practice, and practice hard!"

And that was the day my
REAL golf education began...

How to Get a Hole in One

No matter how long I practised,
I struggled to improve my golf
score and couldn't even dream
of getting a hole in one.

I heard about a pair of
professionals through a friend
who could guarantee results
fast.

I went to the place I had
arranged to meet my new
caddies to find a curious
duo.

"Ook! I'm Monkey and I'm here
to teach you how to improve
your score."

"And Mandrill show you how to
get strong!"

It was unusual to say the least
but I showed them a couple of
my practice swings.

"Nice form! You just need to
work on your timing," said
the monkey.

"Golfer think only hitting
stopped ball is good training?"
asked the large mandrill,
"Mandrill teach better
technique!"

"Focus on that whale by the
island over there," instructed
the monkey, "follow my signal
and concentrate on your
timing."

"Power nothing without timing.
Monkey say, golfer do!" the
mandrill explained.

I tried to take note of their
informative if unconventional
golfing instruction.
"Ooky!" "Whoosh!" "Plop!"

"Mandrill think that was lucky
hit. Lucky golfer can not do
every time. Less luck,
more practice!"

From that day, I got better and
better at getting a hole in one.

Industrial Espionage

At a secret hideout in an
undisclosed location under
a heavy veil of mystery and
darkness...

Leader: "All right, tell me
what you've discovered in
your surveillance."

Spy: "Of course. The factory
has begun production on a
top-secret, extremely
advanced new design.

I've confirmed at least two
different models, the larger
one approximately 200 feet
tall and weighing about
60,000 tons.

The final phase of assembly
is when they screw the head
to the body. This is tricky,
and if it's done wrong, the
robot has to be scrapped.

The workers on that part of
the line are pretty tense,
obviously, so they've been
playing some soothing music
to help with the work.

When each robot is
completed, it says a
code phrase and the heart
symbol on its chest glows
with appreciation."

Leader: "I see... So the
music is how they've kept
production so high. We'll
need to stop that somehow
if we're going to beat them.

All right. Go continue your
surveillance. Alert me to
any changes."

Spy: "Understood. And if I'm
discovered, you'll extract me
from the enemy factory full
of 200-foot robots, right?
...Right?"

Screwbot Secrets

Somewhere, at a secret hideout...

"OK, minion! Tell me what your
spying revealed."

"Yes, boss. The factory has a
top secret robot development
programme in operation.

The designs for two different
robots are already being put
into production.

The robots are 40 metres tall
and weigh approximately 30,000
tonnes.

The production line terminates
in a large arm which screws
down the robots' heads fast
and tight.

This operation is extremely
precise and the robots become
inoperable if it is not
completed correctly. The
operators require nerves of
steel in order to prevent a
massive robot scrap pile.

I noticed that the factory
constantly plays the same
Arabian-style music.
Operating the machines in time
to the music appears to make
the job easier than it seems at
first glance.

Upon completion, the robots
signal that they are operational
using code words and a
heart-shaped glow comes from
their chests.

The sight of the successfully
completed robots seems to
encourage the machine
operators to maintain their
work quality."

"I see... So, the key to their
success is in the music. We
must understand it if we are to
have any chance of beating
them.

We must analyse the data
further and develop a counter
plan against that factory.

You must go back to the factory
and find out the secret to that
rhythm."

"As you wish, boss."

Saw: "Let's see... It was two
years before I got married,
so that's...10 years."

See: "That long already!
Time really does fly."

Saw: "Just think: 10 years
of 'een-oon, ba-bom.'"

See: "Woooow... I'm amazed
that I'm still not sick of it."

Saw: "Seems like I've been
falling on my rump more and
more lately... Sorry about
that, See."

See: "Hey, I've been the
one falling onto my head for
those handstand jumps.
I'm the one who should
apologize, Saw."

Saw: "No, no. I fall on my
bum WAY more. I'm sorry."

See: "But my head smashes
are way creepy, so I'M
sorry."

Saw: "So hey, how is your
neck, anyway?"

See: "It's OK. How about
you, Saw? Your bum's not
sore or anything?"

Saw: "Nah. Thanks, though."

"So, Mr Saw..."
"What's up, Mr See?"

"How long have we been

"Well, let's see... We met two
years before you got married,
so it must be 10 years."

"Can it really be that long?!
Time flies when you're having
fun."

"Yeah, and to think we've
been saying the same things
every day for 10 years..."

"Every day for 10 years...
Will we ever get bored?"
"Dunno. I'm sorry for all the
times you ended up on your
behind."

"And I'm sorry for all the times
you landed on your face!"

"I think I caused you more falls
than you caused me."

"It's no problem, my head is
less delicate than your behind."

"Really? Are you sure you
didn't get whiplash?"

"I'm fine. Are you sure it
doesn't hurt when you sit
down?"

"There hasn't been a see-saw
that has beaten my bottom yet."

"I'm glad I found a see-saw
inspector as good as you."

"Before we have an awkward
silence, we've got to finish
testing these see-saws before
all the kids show up!"

"Now you're talking! I'll never
get tired of this job!"

My Feelings

I've always wanted to learn
the guitar but never had
the nerve to try.

When I did finally get up the
courage, I found that SHE
worked at the local music
shop.

She told me I had nothing
to be afraid of, that playing
guitar was simple. Easy for
her to say--everyone knows
her band is big in Japan.

I didn't have enough money
to buy one that day, but she
let me try out a guitar and
showed me some chords.

I came back a lot over the
next six months while I
saved up my allowance.

Now I've bought my guitar,
I've started a band, and I'm
practicing a lot. I even
wrote a song for her.

Only problem is I can't bring
myself to play it for her. So
instead, I'll invite her to our
first live show.

After school, we sat on a
bench together while I tried
to work up the courage to
give her the ticket I got her.

My throat was parched, and
my mind was racing. For
some reason, some weasels
were looking at us...

And then a strange thing
happened. A soccer ball
came at us, and I reflexively
gave it a good kick.

It felt great! It calmed me
down too. Even the weasels
seemed happy. So I started
kicking away my feelings.

My Feelings

I decided to take up the guitar
and headed to the local music
shop. That was when I first
saw her.

She was in the year above mine
and already had a band which
had won several competitions.
I heard she'd even been
approached by a famous music
producer.

I hadn't saved enough pocket
money to buy a guitar but I
headed to the shop and she
let me try one out.

I went to the shop a lot
after that. She was so
helpful and her knowledge
about guitars blew me away.

Six months later I had
bought that guitar, practised
every day and even formed
my own band.

I just had to let her know my
feelings for her with one of my
own songs.

But there was no way I could
sing to her until I had learned
to play better.

And then it all seemed to fall
into place. My band got its first
gig and I hoped that she would
come to watch us.

I went to tell her after school
and took her a ticket in my
trembling hands.

We sat down outside and chatted
about school but I had trouble
telling her about my gig.

Each time I tried to pluck up
the courage to ask her to come
a ball would fly out of nowhere
and ruin the moment.

If that wasn't enough, I had a
pair of ferrets making a racket
in front of me too!

Strangely, the more balls I
kicked away, the more confident
I got. Maybe it was something
about my kicking to the rhythm
but the ferrets seemed to calm
down too.

I was sure this was the perfect
moment to tell her how I feel...

Veteran: "I wonder if the ship
made it back home to Planet
Dough yet..."

Rookie: "Let's hope so. We
spent so long transporting
fuel orbs for it, I was just
glad to see it take off."

Veteran: "I gotta tell you, my
heart skipped a few when you
missed the fuel orb that
Mr. Game & Watch was riding."

Rookie: "I'm really sorry
about that. It makes me all
emotional just thinking
about it."

Veteran: "None of that.
Crying will just make you all
gooey. Try to stay dry until
you get home from work."

Rookie: "It's a good thing
See and Saw were waiting
below and ready to fling
Mr. Game & Watch onto
the ship!"

Veteran: "Yeah, I keep them
ready in case emergencies
like that come up."

Rookie: "That was you?
Wow, you are so on top of
things! I hope to be half
as good as you someday."

Veteran: "Just take it one
day at a time, kid. Now turn
off the lights. It's time to
go home."

Rookie: "Ugh. I worked so
hard today, I won't be able
to rise in the morning..."

After Work

On the work floor...

"I wonder if the ship made it back
home to Planet Dough already..."

"Let's hope so. We spent so
long refuelling it, I was just
glad to see it take off."

"But I thought we'd be in big
trouble when Mr. Game & Watch
got caught in that fuel orb!"

"I should have noticed. I get all
emotional just thinking about it."

"You know crying will make
you all gooey. You should
stay dry until after you
finish work."

"I wouldn't have thought to
ask Mr See and Mr Saw to
spring to his rescue. If you
hadn't, who knows what could
have happened."

"Those guys are a regular
pair of heroes."

"I hope I grow up to be smart
like you one day."

"Your day will come, but first
turn off the lights, it's time to
go home."

"I worked so hard today, I
won't be able to rise in the
morning."

Baxter & Forthington

High above the
Rhythm Islands...

Forthington: "Hey, Baxter,
you hear about the new
doughnut shop? You can
get a doughnut covered in
marshmallows, candy, and
tiny little doughnuts!"

Baxter: "Ugh. I'll pass.
There's such a thing as
restraint, you know."
Forthington: "Come on,
let's just check it out.
Live a little!"

Baxter: "Forthington, I'm not
going to repeat myself. If you
want to go wallow in lard,
you can go by yourself,
glutton."

Forthington: "What did you
call me?! Oh, that's it,
Mr. Leafy Greens! Eat THIS."
With a mighty THWACK,
Forthington launches the
birdie at Baxter's face.

Baxter: "Hrmph. Gotta
do better than that,
glaze breath."
Baxter smacks the birdie
right back at Forthington.

Forthington: "It looks like the
old dog knows some tricks,
but how will you cope if I
change up the distance?"

Forthington accelerates
toward the horizon and then
belts the birdie at Baxter.
*THWACK!*

Baxter: "So soft and sweet.
Just like those doughnuts
you like."
*THWACK!*

The rally continues for over
twenty minutes.

Forthington: "OK, for an old
dog with no taste, you're
actually pretty good at air
badminton!"

Baxter: "You're not so bad
for a sour puss either."

Baxter: "Whew! That was a
workout! I could eat a
salad bar!"

Forthington: "Hey, I've got an
idea. Why don't we go to the
doughnut shop?"

"I exercised so much I could
eat a horse!"
Baxter: "..."

Forthington: "Come on,
Baxter. Doughnut covered in
tiny doughnuts. You know
you want one."

Baxter: "All right..."

The two planes bank across
each other's paths, making
surprisingly doughnut-shaped
vapor trails as they fly off
for a well-deserved snack.

Quick and Slow

High above the Rhythm Islands,
a blue and red plane could be
seen flying in tight formation.

"Hey, Quick! I heard a new
doughnut shop opened up
recently. It's supposed to be
the cat's whiskers!"

"Huff! I doubt that."

"You can't say that until you
try it at least once for yourself.
You might regret it!"

"Slow! How many times? You're
barking up the wrong tree! If
you like it so much, just go by
yourself, you fat greedy puss!"

"How dare you! See how you
like eating this!"

Slow launched the shuttlecock
at Quick's face with a 'whoosh'!

"Pah!"
Quick hit it back in a flash.

"It looks like the old dog knows
some tricks, but how will you
cope at a distance?"
Slow accelerated towards the
horizon and then belted the
shuttlecock at Quick.

"Your racket paw is as weak as
your willpower when it comes
to doughnuts," Quick taunted
as he hit the projectile back.

Twenty minutes later the rally
was still going on...

"Meahaha! For an old dog with
no taste, you are still a
connoisseur when it comes to
badminton shots!"

"You're not so bad for a
sour puss either!"

Another twenty minutes later...

"I've got an idea, why don't we
head on over to that doughnut
shop?"

"..."

"Come on, Quick! You'll love
it!"

"Well, alright then."

The two planes banked across
each other's paths forming a
perfect doughnut-shaped vapour
trail in the sky as they headed
off for a well-deserved snack.

Journal of Tiny Science

Day 1:
It's been five years since I
announced my new method
for bacterial research in
"Microbe Today."

My students and I have
been working day and night
to catalog our newest data.

Then today I received a vial
from the mysterious Rhythm
League, and its contents
astounded me!

The microbes in the vial
moved in sync with each
other. And not just one or
two, but countless microbes
all moving in time!

I am sure they represent an
important discovery.
We must keep studying
them.

Day X:
The microbes appear to have
lost their initial vigor. They
move sluggishly, unhappily
bumping into each other.

If they continue like this,
I will have to abandon my
research. What could be
wrong with them?

Day Y:
The microbes still seem sad
and listless. The team and I
are exhausted, and nothing
we have tried has improved
their condition.

We must do something--if
not for them, then for our
own morale. Some music
might lift our spirits...

Day Z:
Astonishing! As soon as I
put the music on, the
microbes brightened, moving
in time and colorful again!

I'm not sure how, but the
microbes feed on the music
in a process I shall call
"rhythmesis." The music's
effect is undeniable.

The microbes have resumed
their tiny, dancing march.
Where could they be headed?
We still have so much to
learn about them...

We have already gained from
our research, though. I find
myself walking with a spring
in my step now!

Diary of Micro-Discoveries

Entry 1:
It has been five years since I
first announced my new method
for bacterial research.

The students and I have worked
tirelessly day and night to find
new bacteria.

Today, I discovered a group of
bacteria with a puzzling organised
movement. They swam right past
my microscope's field of view and
I knew instantly that I had found
something completely new.

The bacteria moved with great
coordination. There were not
just one or two, but countless
bacteria all moving in time.
I am sure they represent an
important discovery so we must
study them further.

Entry 2:
The bacteria appear to have lost
their initial vigour. They are
moving sluggishly and bumping
into each other which appears
to make them unhappy.

If they continue like this,
I will have to abandon my
research.

What on earth could be wrong
with them?

Entry 3:
The bacteria still appear to lack
their initial vitality. The team
and I are exhausted from failing
to improve their condition.

We must do something!

Perhaps some music would
help liven our mood. I'm sure
one of the students left a CD
somewhere...

As soon as I put the CD on,
the bacteria lost their drab
appearance. They began to
move in time and glowed
colourfully again!

I'm not sure how, but they
feed on the music (I may call
the process "Rhythmesis").
However, the music's effect is
undeniable.

The bacteria have begun moving
in a nimble jerking motion.

I wonder where they could be
headed? I must study them
further to understand more about
this truly mysterious organism.

We still have a lot to learn from
them. We should all learn to
live with a spring in our step
too!

Picky Eaters' Song

I am called the Wandering
Samurai, due to my devotion
to the samurai code of
Bushido and my generally
poor sense of direction.

～As the sun dips below the
horizon, the Wandering
Samurai rests his weary
body on the grounds of
an old temple.～

"I'm so very tired from all
the wandering I did today..."
～Before he is even aware of
it, the samurai is asleep and
dreaming...～

♪ One onion. Can't eat it!
　 Two tubers. Mmm! Love it!
　 Three three-bean salads.
　 Can't eat it! ♪

♪ Four fortune cookies.
　 Mmm! Love it!
　 Five flying fish.
　 People eat those? ♪

♪ Six sticks of butter.
　 Mmm! Love it!
　 Seven celery sticks.
　 Can't eat it! ♪

♪ Eight egg rolls.
　 Mmm! Love it!
　 Nine nice noodle dishes.
　 Can't eat it! ♪

♪ And ten tennis balls.
　 Not food. ♪

"Son, if you are so picky
about food, you'll never
grow up to be a proper
samurai!"
"Yes, Mother!"

When I wake, the sun is
high in the sky. Standing
nearby are two children.
The boy holds a pinwheel,
the girl a rice ball.

"Mama said this was for you."
My stomach growls as my
eye meets the rice ball.
"I am indebted to you."
I gratefully accept the
rice ball.

It is delicious. Just like
Mother used to make.

The Picky Eaters Song

The lone samurai continued his
endless journey onwards.

Eventually the samurai came
across a temple and decided to
take shelter from the heat of
the morning sun.

His eyelids began to feel heavy
and it did not take long before
he fell fast asleep under a
large tree.

As he lay snoring in the shade,
a counting song from his
childhood came back to him...

One - I like buns
Two - I don't like stew
Three - I like peas
Four - I don't like rice balls
Five - I like chives

Six - I don't like figs
Seven - I like cinnamon
Eight - I don't like skate
Nine - I like brine
Ten - I don't like ramen...

"An honourable samurai never
lets food go to waste," his
mother scolded. "Yes, mother,"
the young samurai dutifully
replied...

The lone samurai awoke from his
dream to find the sun had risen
high in the sky.

He soon noticed two young
kids approaching with a toy
windmill and a rice ball.

"Our mummy told us to give
you this."

The samurai's stomach let out
a loud growl at the sight of
the expertly-made rice ball.

"Thank you," the samurai said
as he took the rice ball. He bit
into it and was filled with more
memories of his mother's
cooking.

He wondered how he
would be able to repay their
kindness to him.

To be continued...

Master Fisherperson
Ann Glerr presents:
Fishing Tips with
Master Fisherperson
Ann Glerr

Ann Glerr here with some
fishing tips! Let's start
with the small fry:

The Quicknibble is an
adorable little orange fish
with no sense of self-
preservation whatsoever.

It'll usually taste your
bait twice then just bite
into it, at which point you
can simply yank it out of
the water.

The Pausegill, on the other
hand, is a cautious fish. It
generally invests in mutual
funds and treasury bills.

Also, it waits a beat after
tasting the bait before biting.
I don't know why it bothers--
it's not like it ever checks
the bait and goes "Nah."

Finally, there's the creepy
Threefish. This intimidating
guy likes to check the bait
very thoroughly with his
tongue.

After the check, he likes to
give the worm a count of
three to let the fear set
in...then he strikes!

I hope these tips will help
you land the big one next
time you're out! Ann Glerr
signing off!

Fishing Monthly

Expert's Corner

This month's Expert's Corner
features tips from Ann Glerr.

Hi, everyone! I'd like to take
the opportunity to introduce
three fish species to you today

First, let's start with the cute
Gulper. You have to watch out
for this small orange fish
because they don't wait around
after nibbling your bait.

The Little Waiter may have a
vacant stare but don't let
that fool you. The key to
hooking one is waiting briefly
for it to bite.

Finally, the king of fish is the
Big Teaser.

They use their long tongues to
tease their prey. When you see
the float move, try counting to
three before striking.

However, if they get away you'll
find their deep laugh sounds
quite suave and sophisticated!

One final tip, fishing is all
about rhythm. So try to stick
to the beat whenever you see
a fish bite!

Good luck fishing, everybody!

Expedition Journal

April 16
Today, our expedition team
is set to arrive at our
destination. It's strange,
though...

No matter how many steps
forward we take, we seem
to be right back where we
started. Am I just imagining
things?

April 20
We ran into a major storm
that made it difficult to
move and impossible to see.

I thought our one-flipper-roll
strategy probably wasn't
going to cut it, so I went
to the captain, hoping he'd
reconsider our tactics.

He just said, "Good joooob!"
After a moment, he added,
"Nice!" ...I guess I just have
to trust the captain...

April 21
The one-flipper-roll strategy
was a failure.

I thought it was time to
deploy our ultimate weapon.
I went to the captain and
said, "It's time to try the
ten-flipper-roll strategy!"

April 22
The ten-flipper-roll strategy
left the entire expedition
team dizzy and disoriented.

"Captain! What should we
do?!" My voice echoed
across the frigid tundra.
And then I heard his strong,
reassuring voice:

"That's it!"

Ca-Captain...really?

I...I believe in our captain.

Expedition Journal

16th April

The expedition team should
make it to our goal today...

However, no matter how much
progress we make, it feels as
if we are going round in circles.

We are already behind schedule
by several hours.

If we fall even further behind,
we might not even make it at
all...

The Captain is as icy-faced
as ever. If he's worried, he's
not showing it in the slightest.

20th April

The team has been hampered
by a violent snowstorm that
could freeze an exposed snout
in seconds.

We had difficulty practising our
single flipper rolls, so I asked the
Captain if we could change
our training strategy.

The Captain just replied in his
usual loud voice, "Mmm! Aah!"
so I hope we can trust him.

21st April

Our flipper rolls were a complete
failure. We didn't make any
headway at all. We are starting to
lose our strength and motivation.

Even so, we finally managed to
do ten flipper rolls together!

The Captain gave us his strongest
"Yes! Good job!"

I'm sure he won't let us down.

22nd April

Today it was so bright, it felt
as if even the sun was mocking
our flipper progress.

We practised so many ten
flipper rolls that I couldn't
even see straight any more.

Captain! How much more of
this training do we have to
suffer?
...do we have to suffer?
...do we have to suffer?

Perhaps I shouldn't have
shouted so loud as the echoes
rang out over the polar waste.

But then, the Captain said,
"Well done!"
I hope he means it this time...

Birds of the Universe

Did everyone have a
refreshing break? Wonderful!
Let's continue our tour of
the planet of the Huebirds...

Ah, here we see a typical
morning commute for these
colorful creatures. Note that,
even in a dense crowd, they
move in perfect harmony.

Er...mostly. Excuse me!
Please don't push! Someone
could get hurt! Excuse me!

"Tweet, twe-twe-tweet,
tweet, squawk!"

What was that? Does
anyone in the group by
any chance speak Huebird?

Now, please! Please, let's
try to keep things orderly!
"Tweet, twe-twe-tweet, tweet,
squawk!"
I don't understand! WHAT
ARE YOU SAYING?!

Ahem. Let's continue our
tour, shall we? As I was
saying, the Huebirds are
lovely creatures with their
own ideas about order.

Next, we'll be examining an
altogether different species,
the Eloquent Tapir, who I'm
sure you all will enjoy
conversing with.

Birds of the Universe

Welcome to another edition of
Birds of the Universe. Today,
we've got quite a selection
to show to you.

The prettiest of all space birds
has to be the Huebird.
Let's see how they start their
day.

Rush hour starts early on their
colourful planet. But even in
large groups, they move in
harmony...most of the time.

"It's looking pretty crowded
already. Hey, everybody! Stop
pushing, it's dangerous!"

"Tweet! Tweet! Squawk!"

It doesn't seem as if they are
paying any attention.

"Don't you birds have any
manners? Stop pushing!"

"Tweet! Tweet! Squawk!"

Can anybody speak Huebirdish?

"Hey! Someone could get hurt!
Please line up patiently!"

"Tweet! Tweet! Squawk!"

I'm sure they're not paying
attention on purpose now.

"Hey, you! The pretty bird,
yes...you, line up properly!"

"Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
Tweet! Squawk!"

That's more like it.

These birds have behaved the
same way for generations. They
are sometimes a little selfish but
they all walk to the same beat.

Next time we will look at Blue
Birds.

Enjoy your bird watching!

Rhythm Rockets

Hello, and thank you for your
interest in Rhythm Rockets!
These are sure to make your
next outer-space voyage fun
and memorable!

We have four models this
year, and I'll be happy to
explain the differences.

Family Model
This cheerful red-and-white
rocket is well balanced and
suited to all sorts of uses.

Party Cracker Model
This one starts the party
with a fun sound. Plus,
there's no confetti to
clean up!

Bell Model
This lovely rocket launches
with a clear chime. Ideal
for weddings and other
celebrations!

Bowling Model
For the frustrated bowler in
all of us, this exuberant
rocket delivers the satisfying
sound of a perfect strike!

Whichever Rhythm Rocket
you choose, you're certain
to have an exciting and
fun outer-space expedition!

Mini Rocket Development

Hello! Thank you for your interest
in Rhythm Rockets!

We currently have four rocket
models in production. Let
me explain to you the
differences between them.

The basic red and white
"Trusty" model was developed
to be easy to launch and is the
most reliable of our designs.

The "Cracker" model makes
quite a bang at launch and
is made to impress. If you ever
make your own home launch
party, this is the one for you.
It has real oomph and is
good for the environment too.

The "Belle" model goes off with
a crystal clear chime that is
exceptionally moving. This one
is popular at weddings and it's
bound to bring smiles to all
who hear it blast off!

Our "Striker" model has a
stirring sound and is a real
knockout! If you've never
played a perfect game of
bowling, launch one of these
and you'll know how it feels!

I think you'll find we have a
mini-rocket for every occasion
and one that can compliment
your lives.

So, please order one
now before they sell out!

"I want to be a star!"
That was what I thought
every minute of every day
after I moved to this town.

Then I saw the most
important flyer on the most
important café bulletin board
of my life.

The flyer read,
"Tap star wanted!"

I knew this was my big
chance. On the day of the
audition, there were three
other young guys waiting
with me in the studio.

There were four gray boxes
lined up neatly in a row on
a desk in front of us.
We had no idea what they
were for.

A bearded man wearing a
yellow box on his head burst
into the room with a hearty
"Welcome! Welcome!"

"You guys look great! Long
legs, symmetrical heads--
you have all the right
stuff to become tap stars!"

"OK, now. Would you all
please put these boxes
on your heads?"

I had a decision to make.
Would I put this box on my
head and risk looking silly
for a chance at stardom?

Of course I would.
"YES. Bravo. BRAVO!
You made it. You all
made the cut!"

And that's how I began my
climb to tap stardom...

At the Auditions

I had always wanted to become
famous and came to this town
to try to achieve my dreams!

When I saw an audition poster
in a cafe, I knew the chance
had finally arrived.

The poster said "Tap Star
auditions!"

I thought I would have to be the
luckiest boy in the world to
win the audition and become
world famous so easily, but I
knew I had to try.

I sat waiting nervously with
three other young lads waiting
for their chance to shine.

I noticed a grey box placed on
a desk in front of me and
wondered what it was for.

A man carrying a yellow box
entered the room and began
speaking enthusiastically.

"Welcome! Welcome! Hey, you
lads look great! You've
got the right look and legs
long enough to be the next
tap stars!

Let's get started! Would
you mind putting the boxes
on?

This box might look plain but
it will make you a star!"
I felt a bit uncertain but
put the box over my head.

"Hey! That's it! You all look
great! Right, you all passed
the audition!"

From that moment, my career
as a tap star really began and
I have never looked back.

The "Assembly-Line Slogans"
document he wrote looks
suspicious. We'll definitely
want to investigate that.

We received a tip off from
an unidentified man who is

It said "from July to

There's definitely something

But waiting's part of life, now.

Tonight's the night, please

Song Lyrics 3

Beautiful One Day
Song by Tsunku♂
Arrangement by Kaoru Okubo
(Remix 9 Theme)

They say it's still just
nothing but a man's world.
They say it's just too hard
to find yourself.

(But then when) you dance
you feel good,
(And you know) you got 'em
going,

(And you know) your moves
are real good,
(And you know) that you are
beautiful.

I just want to shine, I want
to be in love now.
I just want to shine, I want
to be in love now.

You know you can't just
leave the past behind you,
You know you can't just live
a life of shining glamour.

Ah, the music plays on
and on,
Ooh, as you walk around
the town.

And the teardrops just keep
falling down,
And the teardrops just keep
falling down,

And the teardrops just keep
falling down because...
I only wish I knew.

Someday you'll find yourself
and realize that you're
beautiful.

(So that when) love takes
you down again,
(And it breaks) your heart
in pieces, then just
Let the teardrops fall
like gentle rain.

That's when you'll find
yourself and realize that
you're beautiful.

(And you might) just start
to heal then,
(And you might) find your
heart whole again,

And you will find what you're
looking for after all.

Song Lyrics 4

Lonely Storm
Song by Tsunku♂
Arrangement by Yusuke Itagaki
(Karate Man Theme)

Baby, I'm a broken man, I'm
just a shattering storm.
Baby, try to find my way as
the lonely shadows swarm.

Whoa, I'm just a man,
Missing you, please understand.
Without you, I'm dying.

No, no one will know how I
bear my pain alone.
In the end, I choose my
solitude.

No! I can't go back to my
days of innocence.
Can't go back, there is no
return.

Another cycle of seasons has
passed us by and I can't help
Wonder, I wonder, I wonder
just where you are now.

I hear from everyone that you
are different and that you are
Yet more beautiful than
before.

Whoa...
If you say that you are happier
now and that's just the way you
Feel about everything now,

Well then I guess it's just
the way that it is...

Song Lyrics 5

Dreams of Our Generation
Song by Tsunku♂
Arrangement by Kaoru Okubo
(Night Walk Theme)

You and I've been through a
lot together.
That's just the way the story
goes.

Even though your heart breaks
And you're down on your knees,
Anyway, you'll laugh again
someday.

And if you're down,
You'll get up again.
Dust off a bit,
And go along your way.

But don't you know
You might find, before too long,
You're on your knees once again.

Let's spread our wings, now,
Do anything, now,
Somehow we came this far.

I've got a choice now,
I hear your voice now,
Singing inside my heart.

Let's spread our wings, now,
Into the sky now,
Let's reach up to the sun.

Soon we will see we're
Living the dreams of
Our generation.

Final Words

Hey, you there! Yes, you!
In front of the TV!
Congratulations on getting
a Perfect on Remix 10!
Nicely done!

Oh, and thanks so much for
just playing this far into the
game! It's always gratifying
when someone goes to the
trouble, you know?

We've been watching you
doing your best, playing
real hard. It's inspiring.

Did you have fun? Was it
hard to get here? Maybe
you have friends who say
it was easy.

Hmph. Whatever.

But let's talk about you
some more! You probably
found your sense of rhythm
improving, huh? ...Right?

If you haven't already done
so, you should totally have
your friends try out this
game. You know there's a
two-player mode, right?

All right, let's say it was
your destiny to battle an
evil wrestler army, and
only you could do it.

You might be sad that you
had such a rough destiny
ahead of you.

But what if, by battling the
evil wrestler army, you could
make a lot of people smile?
Then you might think, "That's
a pretty good destiny."

That's all we wanted to say.
Hopefully we'll see you out
there again sometime. Enjoy
your evening.

--This message brought to
you by the mysterious
Rhythm League.

Final Words

Congratulations!

You got a Perfect on Remix 10!
Well done!

Thank you for playing!

We hoped you would make it
this far.

How was it for you? Did you
find it difficult?

You probably know somebody
who found it really easy, don't
you?

But don't worry!

No matter how you found it,
your sense of rhythm has
probably improved no end.
Did you notice a difference?

Now that you are a rhythm
master, you should show your
friends how much fun rhythm
is too. You know there's a
Dual Play mode, don't you?

Every good wrestler has to step
up to his destiny of fighting an
army of wrestling villains to
prevent the global
domination of evil. It's up
to you to fulfil your destiny
too!

Well, your destiny might not be
as important as an amazing
wrestler's, but just imagine the
joy of having a destiny that
involves putting smiles on your
friends' faces!

I hope we will meet in the Ring
some day.

Signed,

The Wrestler's Rhythm League
Fan Club Rep.
