Introduction

Dancing Dolls in a Starry Sky
41min. Color Japanese ｜ 1988 Japan
After sensing someone in need of help, Mami discovers a small puppet theatre company about to cancel a performance at a nursery due to a shortage of manpower. Mami steps in and the performance is a success. Mami is charmed by the theatre, but even her psychic powers can't solve its members' real-life problems. Is it pointless to dream? Mami faces up to the harsh reality of the grown-up world.

Episode 54: Dandelion Coffee
25min. Color Japanese ｜ 1987～1989 Japan
Mami visits her father's friend at Mt. Yatsugadake. She enjoys his dandelion coffee, but his son, Akihiko, wants to return with Mami to Tokyo. Mami's meddling causes a fight between the father and son, who storms out to the forest at night. Keiichi Hara wrote the original screenplay for this episode, which has a special place in his heart from among the two-year-long TV series.

Episode 96: We are TONBI
25min. Color Japanese ｜ 1987～1989 Japan
Mami meets four students attempting to fly a man-powered aircraft by the river. Their attempt fails, but they cheerfully plan to try again despite being busy studying for exams and moving house. While they have limited time and pressing concerns, they keep trying their best. This original episode was written, storyboarded and directed by Hara himself.
