Here is a peek at the fascinating world of toddlers...as seenliterally from their height. Parents have given permission fortheir children to be recorded secretly while running errandsalone for the first time. Disguised as local, production staffstay close by to ensure the children’s safety. The programhas attracted considerable attention for both its unassumingcast of stars (al l under 6-years old) and its creative filmingtechniques. It reveals not only children’s candid behavior,but also their strong sense of accomplishment gained fromthinking and acting independently. The original series won theJapanese Galaxy Award for best television production.

Part 3: The first of three “challengers” stoically braves older kids (and wet pants)on his way to buy ingredients for dinner. The second proudly hauls home a hugecatch of fish that gradually decreases in weight thanks to a hole in the bag. Last,a reluctant brother quickly learns leadership skills while supervising his youngersisters on a two-hour quest for a school bag and buns.

Part 4: First we meet Kenta, who returns home with the right items but the wrongamounts. 4-year old Shingo must cope with a ferry ride and a very homesickyounger sister. And then there is Yoshie, age 5, whose sudden bolt leaves behindall but one member o f the camera crew.

Part 5: Two rather confused kids simply don’t realize that their repeated requestsfor apples and parsley are futile since the greengrocer’s 94-year old mothertruly cannot hear them. Then, a forgetful 5-year old is asked to buy cream forgrandma’s back. Little does granny know, however, that she is about to receiveointment for hemorrhoids instead...

Part 9: After a brief explana tion of filming techniques, we travel to a local festival to meet three-yearold Yukie, who dodges “demons” while trying to bring home eggs. We also meet Marin, a five-year oldgirl who, in the process of buying fish and floppy disks, must ride a train and attend to her very sleepyyounger brother.

Part 10: The first “challenger” is Kazuki who, on the way to pick up something for his mother, cannotresist the temptations of a toyshop. The second is Mayu, who successfully buys a large pan and evenfinds time for a snack. Finally there is Keiichiro, whose parents send him off to say farewell to twofriends before the family moves away.

Part 11: Not-yet three-year old Noriko must deliver swimming trunks to her elder brother at thekindergarten. Then there is Azumi, who with 3 friends travels mountain roads to visit a sick schoolmate.Finally we meet Chiaki and her younger brother Yuki, who can barely get home the large purchasesbought during their first shopping e xpedition.

Part 1: What shouldbe a 20-minute errand becomes an epic adventure for a 3-year old and his youngersister, who finally return home - three hours later. Then, a 5-year old girl must take her 3-year oldbrother on a shopping trip that involves both a ferry and a tram. She handles the transportation withmuch competence, but has a more difficult time when faced with a problem in human relations...

Part 2 : Two brothers who have been sent out to buy stew mix and mayonnaise accomplish their taskwith minimal difficulty compared to two 3-year olds who, in the process of looking for croquettes,become distracted by the sights and sounds of the city. 5-year old Mayu, however, takes a delivery toher uncle and still makes it back to music school in time for her own performance .

Its true faces made difficult to distinguish through an endless maze of concrete andsteel, the city of Tokyo is actually a collection of village-like neighborhoods, each with adistinct flavor and history. And while one might think that leaving the city is necessary tosee something new, some of the best discoveries can, in fact, be made right next door.This collection of mini-tours is a quick-paced introduction the hundreds of inexpensive, interesting,and easily reached places to be discovered within Tokyo and surrounding areas. Using the stopsalong a particular railway line, each episode’s host explores a particular area’s sights, specialtyshops, food, etc., showing just how much enjoyment one can have without spending a fortune.We see how “secret boxes” are made near Hakone, and check out the numerous offerings at anew commercial center along Tokyo Bay. For natives and visitors alike, the series is an entertainingway to get to know the real Tokyo, whose neighborhoods are intriguing enough to be destinationsin themselves.
