Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch 34

  
Opening "Rainbow Notes" by Kanbe Miyuki: Sounds just like you'd expect something with "rainbow" in the title ("Rainbow Road" from the various Mario Karts comes to mind). I rather like it :)

  
Ending "Sekai de ichiban hayaku asa ga kuru basho": Rather long title, ne? Luchia, Hanon, and Rina sing this one together. Much better than the 1st ending.

Skipping ahead a few episodes here... A more complete summary since this one is only available raw :)

A young girl named Auri has come to see Taki-san and learn to be a fortune teller. Well, not really.. just because it's supposed to be popular ;) Anyways, Taki gives Auri some tasks to do. First is to predict the weather for the next day. Auri predicts rain.... but it's sunny. So why not try a rain dance? Gaito-sama's useless minions Yuri and Eriru show up and dance with Auri and it does rain. Finished with that task.

Next is to gather some ingredients for a potion... So Auri sells some "magical" trinkets on the beach to people.. Yuri and Eriru show up again, this time with Yuri buying a necklace that will grant her love wish.. maybe. So who does Yuri like? Hippo. Actually, she likes Hippo's human form (that was back in episode 25, which I don't have, grrr... but did read the episode summary on the show's site). Using the money she earned Auri goes and gets the ingredients.

And last, Taki tells Auri to find a black pearl on an island. She can't take Luchia, Hanon, or Rina with her but she can take Hippo with her. And who should show up but... Yuri and Eriru again. Auri, being the manipulative kid she is, tells Yuri and Eriru that the black pearl she's searching for will grant your love wish (again) so Yuri and Eriru get to work.. Hippo's changed into human form now and Yuri realizes that he's around.. so she runs off to find him and jumps all over him. Awwww :)

Meanwhile, Luchia, Hanon, and Rina have come to see how Auri's doing and after that on the way back they run into the Black Beauty Sisters. Who always are in some kinda yuri-ish pose whenever they show up.... anyways.. they sing a song (in minor) and Luchia and the rest can't do anything... Back on the island Auri finally found the black pearl and puts it in the potion and... BOOM!! The explosion blocks out the Black Beauty Sisters' song so Luchia and the rest go to work as usual. And that's that :)

Rather fun episode to watch. Hippo and Yuri are sooo cute together ;) The next first season episode I have is.. 50, though. See if I can find some more somewhere... The next episode of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure looks like it'll have Yuri and Hippo together again so I might write up something about that one ;)
