Series Synopsis
Welcome to
the Usagiyama Shopping District, home to the small, family run mochi shop,
Tamaya, and it’s eldest daughter Tamako Kitashirakawa (voiced by Aya Suzaki).
Tamako loves
her little community and is beloved by all the vendors who she happily
considers her family. Extremely friendly and easy going, there isn’t anything that
can get Tamako down. Everything is as perfect as it can be.
Then suddenly,
daily life gets a little more exciting when a strange talking bird named
Dera Mochimazzi (voiced by Takumi Yamazaki) comes to town. He
claims to be on a journey to find the future bride for his country’s prince.
While initially deadest on seeing his mission through, the relaxed and open
atmosphere of the shopping district, as well as Tamako’s family’s delicious mochi,
turns Dera quite complacent.
No longer caring about his objective, Dera takes up residence in Tamako’s home. Though
unsure why such a strange bird has chosen to attach himself to her, Tamako
quickly accepts Dera. Soon the sight of a cheerful girl with a fat bird sitting on
her head turns into a calling card of the district.
The days
continue on as they always have. Tamako makes everything a little brighter and
Dera makes everything a little more interesting.
