Pan-kun, Who Went to Space Last Time

この前、宇宙に行ったパン君

流れ星といっしょに
ほかの惑星から
小さな宇宙飛行士が流れてきた

「あれ…
よく見ると、この前
念願の宇宙に行ったパン君じゃない？」

土星のそばで
ふわりと浮かぶパン君を見て
ふたりはびっくり

どうしよう…と思って
左の空を見ると
パン君を助けに向かう
小さなロケットが見えた

「ああ、よかった…」

ふたりはそっと胸をなでおろして
もう一度 夜空を見上げる

流れ星が消えたあとも
夜空にはまだ
小さな冒険のつづきが残っていた…

Pan-kun, Who Went to Space Last Time

Together with a shooting star,
a little astronaut came drifting
from another planet.

“Wait…
look closely. Isn’t that Pan-kun,
who finally got to go to space last time?”

Seeing Pan-kun
floating gently near Saturn,
the two pandas were surprised.

Wondering what to do,
they looked toward the left side of the sky
and saw a little rocket
heading out to rescue Pan-kun.

“Ah… thank goodness…”

The two pandas quietly breathed a sigh of relief
and looked up at the night sky once again.

Even after the shooting star disappeared,
a little adventure
still remained in the night sky…

※パンダのリールを定期的に更新していましたが、
少し間が空いたこともあり、
ふと通常投稿で一度作ってみようと思った作品がこれです。

これまでパンくんはいろいろなことに挑戦してきて、
特に宇宙への興味がとても強かったので、
リールではUFOに乗って宇宙へ行くところまで作っていました。

その先をふと思い浮かべたときに、
今回の作品に行き着きました。

パンくんの屈託のない、
純粋な気持ちで好奇心を持つ姿。
そんな世界を描いてみたいと思いながら、
ずっとパンダシリーズを作っています。

※I had been regularly posting Panda reels,
but after taking a little break,
I suddenly felt like trying to create one as a regular post,
and this is the piece that came from that.

Until now, Pan-kun has taken on many different challenges,
and he has always had a particularly strong interest in space.
In the reels, I had already created the story up to the point
where he boarded a UFO and went into space.

When I started thinking about what might come next,
I arrived at this piece.

Pan-kun has such an innocent,
carefree way of being curious about the world.
Wanting to portray that kind of world
is what has kept me creating the Panda series.
