Drama CD 5 Promised Dog (ドラマCD⑤ 約束のイッヌ, DoramaCD⑤ Yakusoku no Innu) was released with RobiHachi Season One Volume Five as a Canime bonus.
Summary[edit]
Robby, Hatchi and Ikku decide to make one last stop on their way to Isekandar and visit planet Two. Meanwhile, Yang, Allo and Gras enjoy their time sightseeing on Pinopendio.
Space[edit]
Nagaya Voyager[edit]
Robby and Hatchi bicker as usual – their conversation topic eventually strays back to Earth and the fries they shared during their first meeting (or rather, only Robby did, as Hatchi reminds he himself only ate the salad). This makes Robby want to eat fresh, hot fries sold at his preferred spot once more – however, as it’s prohibited to fry food on a spaceship due to the rules of space traffic, and ordering a food delivery through Cuber Eats doesn’t guarantee the fries would be still warm when delivered, to stop a sudden outburst of fries withdrawal syndrome the group lands on planet Two.
Two[edit]
Fast food branch[edit]
On the planet’s surface, the first thing Robby does is run to buy fries at a fast food. Unfortunately, the food he gets is not fresh nor warm, but rather pathetically moist. He wants to go and try to get some again, but Hatchi goes in first this time and manages to obtain actually fresh fried fries thanks to chatting to the cashier and winking at her. Robby is at first frustrated with this, but eventually just enjoys the fries. This, however, only worsens his withdrawal symptoms and he cries for the fries he can eat on Earth.
Hatchi and Ikku give up on the case and decide to go sightseeing instead – Hatchi suggests seeing Hachi, much to Ikku’s confusion, until it’s explained this is about the dog Hachiko. There is a statue of it with its owner on planet Two too, not only in Shibuya.
By the Hachiko statue[edit]
Hachiko belonged to professor Richard Eizaburogiya who came from Two, which is why there is a statue on the planet as well. Despite previously showing no enthusiasm about it, Robby suddenly becomes interested and he and Hatchi have Ikku take a photo of them together next to the statue. They both want to share the picture on their social media.
Pinopendio[edit]
Meanwhile, Yang, Allo and Gras are enjoying their time on Pinopendio.
Ossu! Yasujiro Seishunkan Museum[edit]
After having eaten their sukiyaki[1], they decide to go visit the Ossu! Yasujiro Seishunkan Museum, dedicated to Ozu Yasujiro who was born on Pinopendio. Its layout is modelled after films from the Taisho and early Showa period – this piece of trivia brings on a discussion about knowing different periods: Showa, Heisei and current Reiwa, and about the one film from director Yasujiro that is considered his masterpiece: The Tale of Neo Tokyo. It’s a somewhat-family story, which makes Yang comment about how he, too, wishes to start his own family one day, but if he cannot find an eternal bond, he would like to find another form of a family. He is, however, afraid that it will lose its brilliance once he obtains it, which ultimately brings him despair – not to worsen his condition, Allo and Gras evacuate him to another tourist spot instead.
Pinopendio Cotton Weaving Centre[edit]
The group ends up at Pinopendio Cotton Weaving Centre, where they decide to weave clothes. Yang likes the idea of creating matching white clothes for himself and Robby and quickly weaves a set, gaining the respect of the Centre’s staff who ask him to be featured (which he declines). At the end of their trip, the group buys some sukiyaki lunch boxes as takeaway and one beef offal lunch box to share together, as family.
Two[edit]
Back on planet Two, Robby, Hatchi and Ikku have to run back to Nagaya Voyager, chased by a dog. Robby and Hatchi compare their photos of the Hachiko statue and start to argue over which one is cuter, much to Ikku’s annoyance, as he sees no difference.

00:07
Ikku: With the help of that Yang fella; we fled from the 43rd planet named Yokkamarché, we crossed over Hinaga Junction to go to our final destination, Isekandar. From here on, we will not be making any stops and decided to go straight to Isekandar. But the truth is...
00:34
Robby: Good god, Yokkamarché was really a dangerous planet.
Hatchi: But Robby, I didn’t know your grandpa was an anime director. Things beyond my expectations keep happening with Robby around, how funny!
Robby: Oh? I assume that you have a huge respect for me, Hatchi?
Hatchi: Not true.
Robby: What the heck, Hatchi?! Even though you were grumbling from boredom of predictable happenings on Earth.
Hatchi: I guess there was such a time, huh?
Robby: Naw, come on! You were a Peter Pan[4] guy through and through, always out there looking for something fun back on Earth.
Hatchi: Peter Pan, huh? That brings back.
Robby: Huh? What are you talking about? But yeah, sure. I sure missed the Earth.
Ikku: We only left the Earth for a little more than a week but every planet we visited was so impactful that it felt like it’s been ages.
Robby: Ahh, speaking of the Earth. I really wanna eat that french fries sold by that foul mouthed old man! Hatchi, you remember it, don’t you? That french fries I bought for you!
Hatchi: Ahh, that’s right. I didn’t eat even one bit of it though.
Robby: Right, you were stuffing your mouth with leaves. Like some caterpillar!
Hatchi: Don’t call me caterpillar!
Robby: Shoot! Talking about that old man’s french fries made me salivate. My mouth is seeking for french fries..! That fresh, piping hot and flaky french fries, fried in golden colored oil..! I wanna eat it... I wanna eat it..! I wanna eat fresh and warm french fries!!!! Ikku, do something about it.
02:20
Ikku: You dumbass! You know it’s impossible to get fresh and warm french fries here!
Robby: Why?!
Ikku: According to the rules of space traffic, frying food is prohibited within the spaceship.
Hatchi: Aren't there ones that you can heat with a microwave? Frozen fries.
Robby: It’s not the same, Hatchi! I want them fresh and warm! Piping hot and flaky fries!
Hatchi: Hmm. I think even Cuber Eats delivery cannot promise fresh and warm food.
Robby: Cuber Eats?
Hatchi: It’s a delivery service that will send you food from the neighboring planet.
Robby: They have something like that too, huh?
Hatchi: I tried looking up on Cuber Eats, and I found the nearest stage station from here called Two that can deliver to our place.
Robby: Oh really, Ikku?
Ikku: But fresh and warm is impossible. Even if it was made fresh and warm on that planet, it is no longer piping hot and flaky by the time it reaches here.
Hatchi: Apparently they keep it in an insulated bag but it’s difficult to keep it fresh and warm.
Robby: Ughhhh..! I wanna eat! I wanna eat piping hot and flaky, freshly fried french fries!!
Hatchi: Hey, Robby! Stop! That’s my ear!
Ikku: What the heck, Robby! That’s my ear!
Robby: (chews everything)
Ikku: This is bad. Everything looks like french fries to Robby’s eyes.
Hatchi: He’s having french fries withdrawal symptoms. At this rate, we’ll be in trouble!
Robby: (wails) My french fries!!!!!
03:59
Robby: Where is it? Where?! French fries! Where is it?!
Ikku: Geez. Because of Robby, we ended up dropping by a stage station we’re supposed to pass by.
Hatchi: Why not? It’s a planet we will not come to unless something like this happens.
Ikku: Yeah. Isekandar Highway’s 4th stage station; Two. Although it doesn't look like they have much tourist spots to offer. To begin with, I’m sure there’s french fries on any planet.
Hatchi: But this place is part of the nebula star cluster. I’m sure there’s something fun here! Haha! I’m excited.
Ikku: Good grief. You get awfully positive in this situation.
Robby: Ohhh, I found it!!! Over there!!! They’re selling french fries!! I’m gonna buy it!!! Excuse me!!!
Ikku: Hmph. Isn’t this the fast food chain with red signboards and yellow writing? They have a branch even in space, huh?
Hatchi: Isn’t it nice? It’s like feeling relief when you find a familiar shop when traveling overseas.
Robby: Whoaa! I bought it, the french fries! (eats) This...is not fresh and warm. Not even piping hot and flaky. So pathetically moist....
Ikku: Haha! Too bad.
Hatchi: It’s not easy to obtain fresh and piping hot meals in a fast food restaurant.
Ikku: By the time it was freshly fried, usually the employees tell you “french fries are cooked at the moment so please wait a moment.”
Robby: Then I will wait for that moment! I’m going to buy it again!
Ikku: Are you kidding me?! Don’t you dare waste money!
Hatchi: Excuse me! French fries, please~!
Robby: Huh?! Suddenly Hatchi is gone to buy french fries!
05:47
Hatchi: Huh? Really? Hm! Thank you.
Robby: Hm? Hatchi seems so chatty with that employee lady. What is he talking about?
Hatchi: Hey, Robby!~ I bought it. Freshly cooked french fries!
Robby: Oh, right! It’s the golden color of freshly cooked fries!
Ikku: Did you get fresh fries by coincidence?
Hatchi: No, there was still an existing fries batch but I got these because I winked to that lady.
Robby: WHAAAATTT???!
Ikku: YOU DID WHAT?! So that’s why, huh?
Robby: Why did you get fresh fries, meanwhile I...?!!
Hatchi: Here, Robby~ Don’t waste any longer, eat up.
Robby: (hyperventilates) You’re right... Alright then, bon appetit! (eats) I have not tasted this for ages..!!
Hatchi: This should calm Robby for a while.
Ikku: Right. What an annoying dude.
Robby: Ahhh, that was good.
Ikku: Ah! You ate all of them already?!
Robby: Well, yeah. But now I crave for that foul mouthed old man’s french fries even more after eating fries after a while. I wanna eat it! Old man’s french fries! Ahh! Oh my fries!!
Ikku: He’s still suffering from withdrawal. Hey, Hatchi. Don’t you think it backfired?
Hatchi: Apparently. I expect nothing less from Robby who always brings the unexpected. Funny! Hahaha!
Ikku: This is no time to laugh!
Hatchi: But now that we’re here, let’s look around. It might help distract Robby too.
Robby: Ahhh, old man! I love you! I miss you, old man! I wanna eat it, old man!
Ikku: Ugh, you’re right. Before we get on the spaceship, we have to do something about his withdrawal symptoms.
Hatchi: Oh! I wanna go here!
Ikku: Here, where?
Hatchi: Hachi~
Ikku: Huh?! That’s your name, right? Are you a tourist spot?
Hatchi: Not Hatchi but Hachi~! Hachi~
Ikku: Hachi~ Is it a honey bee farm or something?
Hatchi: No! It’s Hachi as in Hachiko![5]
Ikku: Hachi as in Hachiko?
Hatchi: Anyway, let’s check it out. You too, the old geezer who loves french fries!
Robby: Ahhh! French fries old man!!!
08:32
Hatchi: So how, Robby? Are you relieved now after a bit of a stroll?
Robby: This is nowhere close to “a bit”! Where are we going? You’re making me walk on this completely ordinary place forever!
Hatchi: To the place where there’s Hachiko!
Robby: Hachiko? You mean Hachiko the faithful dog?
Hatchi: Yeah.
Robby: That means we’re in Shibuya? Does this place have Shibuya? In that case, we’re close to that old man’s shop! Meaning I can eat that french fries!
Hatchi: Unfortunately, this is not Hachiko in Shibuya.
Ikku: Hey, Hatchi. What is this about? Hachiko’s gotta be in Shibuya, right?
Hatchi: According to TripSunvisor, the statue is also available in this stage station, Two.
Robby: Doesn’t it sound familiar? Moai statue is supposed to originate from Eastern Island but for some reason, Shibuya has it too.
Ikku: Right. Odaiba also has the Statue of Liberty which is supposed to be in New York.
Robby: I’ve seen the Statue of Liberty in a local love hotel. In pachinko place too.
Hatchi: Unlike those, there’s a deep significance to why Two has the Hachiko statue.
Ikku: What kind of reason?
Hatchi: The owner of Hachi, the dog who waited for him in Shibuya is Mr. Richard Eizaburogiya.
Ikku: Mr. Richard Eizaburogiya..?
Hatchi: Mr. Giya is an agriculture engineering professor in Neo Tokyo Agricultural University aka Neo Uni.
Robby: Hmm. So he wasn’t some random old man who kept a pet dog?
Hatchi: Also, Professor Giya came from Two!
Ikku: In other words, the Hachiko statue is erected here because this planet is his hometown?
Hatchi: Plus, the statue here is not just Hachiko alone but is a statue of the two of them! It’s quite a valuable statue, so I gotta make sure to snap photos of it! Oh, look! Over there! It’s there! Whoa!
Robby: Ohh, so this is Professor Giya’s loyal dog, Hachiko! Ikku, picture time! Take a picture of me and Hatchi!
Ikku: Not you too, Robby! Gee. Not when you had zero interest a few minutes ago!
Hatchi: Come on, quick!
Robby: Make it quick!
Ikku: Yeah, yeah! Good grief. Ready? Ok, say Ikku!
Robby: Yay! I’m gonna upload this on my smartbracelet’s social media account.
Hatchi: Me too, me too!
Ikku: What the heck?
Robby & Hatchi: Hachiko! Hachiko! Hachiko!
Ikku: That wraps our short visit to Two. Yang and his men were ahead of us on the 5th planet of Iskandar Highway, Pinopendio.
11:13
Allo: Mr. Yang! We're at Ossu! Yasujiro Seishunkan Museum, one dedicated for Pinopendio born film director maestro Ozu Yasujiro where we get to see a sneak peek of his youth!
Gras: It is also rated 4 stars in TripSunvisor!
Yang: Since we’ve stuffed ourselves with sukiyaki, a quick field trip here sounds alright to me.
Allo & Gras: Yes, Mr. Yang!
Yang: Where’s the counter for tickets?
Allo: Over there! What a retro looking ticket booth.
Gras: According to TripSunvisor, the external layout of this place is modelled after movies from the Taisho and early Showa period.
Yang: The view of this tenement house brings back memories. Feels as if I am brought back to the early Showa period.
Allo: Mr. Yang..?
Gras: Do you know what it’s like in the early Showa?
Allo: It’s been two periods since then as we’re past Heisei and Reiwa!
Yang: Just the visual. I wasn’t born yet back then.
Allo: You got a point, right.
Gras: But it’s not odd if you’re a Showa-born, Mr. Yang...
Yang: Yeah. My bad for being born in the Showa period.
Allo & Gras: So it’s true...
Yang: You guys were born in the Heisei period, huh? Before you know it, young Reiwa kids will treat you like senior citizens and you will get that comment; “Huh, so you are Heisei-born?”
Allo: That might be true.
Gras: That’s a sharp remark, Mr. Yang.
Allo: Ahh, please look at that!
Gras: That movie billboard painted in oil paint! How retro!
Yang: In the past, movie billboards were painted by hand just like that.
Allo: Huh??!
Gras: Is that true?!
Yang: Hand-painted billboard, how romantic.
Allo & Gras: Yes, very romantic, Mr. Yang!
12:55
Yang: By the way, do you know which Ozu Yasujiro’s movie is considered as his masterpiece?
Allo: From Ozu Yasujiro?
Gras: Masterpiece..?
Allo & Gras: We don’t know! We’re not aware!
Yang: You fools! As an employee of Yang’s Finance, you should at least know the movie “The Tale of Neo Tokyo”!
Allo: The Tale of Neo Tokyo?
Gras: What kind of story is it?
Yang: Well, uh. It’s about family.
Gras: Family?
Yang: Uhh, family, or rather.. Something related to family...uhh, in the area of family, a family-ish story.
Allo: Uh, not sure if I understand it or if I am totally clueless about that.
Gras: Did Mr. Yang actually watch it?
Yang: Of course I did.
Gras: Ugh, he heard me!
Yang: Family. I, too, will have my own family...
Allo: Huh?! Mr. Yang, do you want a family?
Gras: I didn’t expect that.
Yang: Humans come to life and pass this world alone. In the end, humans are a lonely being.
Allo & Gras: Yes, yes.
Yang: I know that well. I know it, however! If I could not find an eternal bond, I’d like to cling on to something in the form of family. There are times when such thoughts cross my mind.
Allo & Gras: Mr. Yang!
14:18
Yang: Therefore, I, too, want to have my own family. Is this perhaps a foolish desire of mine? Am I a needy and a stupidly greedy guy?
Allo: That’s not true! Not at all!
Gras: Mr. Yang, you are not a needy or greedy guy!
Yang: But this might be an illusion. Family, that is.
Allo: Huh?
Gras: Illusion?
Yang: The moment you obtain what you want, its brilliance disappears. I’m afraid of that.
Allo & Gras: Are you afraid?
Yang: I want it but I’m afraid to obtain it. Do you understand?
Allo: I feel like I do..
Gras: ...but at the same time, I don’t...
Yang: But maybe there’s something wrong with me, who is trapped in my desire of wanting to have a family. Ahhh! I don’t get it! What exactly is it that I want?!
Allo: Mr. Yang seems to be in agony.
Gras: Is this Robby’s fault too?
Allo: Visiting Ozu Yasujiro’s Memorial Museum right now sounds like a bad idea.
Gras: Yes! Mr. Yang’s lovesickness might take a turn for the worse if he comes in contact with Showa’s humanity and family bond!
Yang: Ahh! What exactly do I want to do from here on?!
Allo: We must bring him out of this place quickly!
Gras: Yes. It’s dangerous to stay here!
Yang: Ahhhh!
Allo: Mr. Yang! Let’s go to the next place!
Gras: To the next place, Mr. Yang!
15:54
Allo: Here it is, Mr. Yang!
Gras: We’re at Pinopendio Cotton Weaving Centre! This stage station; Pinopendio, is known for cottons. Lo and behold! We can even experience weaving wool here!
Yang: Weaving wool?
Allo: Perhaps a white clothes?
Yang: White clothes..?
Gras: Remember, Mr. Yang. Earlier you said that humans come to life and pass this world alone and that we are lonely beings.
Yang: I sure said that.
Gras: But you can wear the same white clothings.
Yang: The same white clothes? I see. Him wearing the same pair as me... Not bad.
Allo & Gras: Let’s weave white clothes!
Yang: Yeah. Bring it on. Matching white clothes for Robby and I! Hahaha!
Allo & Gras: Ahahaha..!
Allo: Mr. Yang seems cheerful.
Gras: I’m glad!
16:49
Allo: Whaaaa! Mr. Yang, you’re amazing! What’s up with that weaving movement?!
Gras: You don’t look like an amateur! You’re like the crane in that folktale “Crane’s Return of Favour”![6]
Yang: Well, I don’t dislike stuff like this. I’m about to finish weaving in a bit. Clickety-clack!
Allo: Splendid!
Gras: You seriously look like a crane!
Allo: Whaaa! So many are coming from the next gallery to check your weaving product.
Yang: These people better not fall for me. Tell that to them.
Gras: Whaaa! I see hearts in the eyes of the staff members!
Yang: I warned them, no? Don’t fall for me.
Allo: Oh no, Mr. Yang! The president of the memorial museum of Pinopendio is asking you to be featured!
Yang: Hm. Unfortunately, that’s impossible. I’ve decided not to belong to any association.
Allo: As expected, Mr. Yang!
Gras: You’re so cool, Mr. Yang!
Yang: I will walk my own path. That’s all.
Allo & Gras: Yo, Mr. Yang!
Yang: And I will bring him, Robby, into that path. On an intersection called romance.
Allo & Gras: How lovely, Mr. Yang!
Yang: Look, it’s ready! This is mine and his matching white clothes!
Allo & Gras: Whoaaa! As expected, Mr. Yang!
18:27
Allo: We made the best of this Pinopendio tour, right? Mr. Yang?
Yang: Yeah.
Gras: Let’s buy some Pinopendio sukiyaki lunch boxes for us to have in the spaceship, Mr. Yang.
Yang: Good idea.
Allo: Alright, I’ll go get them! (runs) Excuse me!~ Please give me three Pinopendio sukiyaki lunch boxes!
Yang: Hold on.
Allo: Yes?
Yang: I’m interested in this Pinopendio beef offal lunch box too.
Gras: As expected from Mr. Yang! According to TripSunvisor, beef offal is actually the better recommendation in Pinopendio!
Allo: Oh, is that so?
Gras: Pinopendio’s fresh and smell-free beef offal is something you definitely have to try!
Yang: Alright. Let’s add one of that Pinopendio beef offal lunch box and share together.
Allo: Sounds good!
Gras: We’re gonna happily share it together?
Yang: Hm. Well, to me, uhh… you’re like family too.
Allo: Mr. Yang...
Gras: Mr. Yang...
Yang: Hurry up and buy it.
Allo & Gras: Yes, Mr. Yang!
Allo: Mr. Yang! We secured three Pinopendio sukiyaki lunch boxes and..!
Gras: One Pinopendio beef offal lunch box!
Yang: Now, let’s return to the spaceship. With our warm lunch boxes and heart-romancing souvenirs.
Allo & Gras: Yes, Mr. Yang!
Allo: Trip is all about lunch box!
Gras: In other words, romance!
20:06
All: (screams)
Robby: Why..! Are we..?! Being chased by a dog..?!
Ikku: It’s your fault, Robby! Because you messed up with that dog couple next to the statue!
Hatchi: Yeah, right! Is even a dog alright for you too, as long as it’s a female?!
Robby: I’m fair to all creatures! My interest surpasses all living things!
Ikku: Don’t say something so stupid like you made a point!
Hatchi: Anyway, hurry! We’re running to Nagaya Voyager!
Robby: Ughh, I’m tired.
Hatchi: We managed to safely return to Nagaya Voyager for now.
Ikku: Good grief. We got in trouble at the end thanks to Robby’s playboy behavior!
Hatchi: Who would’ve thought that the dog couple is the Ms. and Mr. Hachiko of the stage station Two.
Ikku: You *made a move on an absurd woman. (*te wo dasu = make a move)
Robby: Huh? I simply asked that female dog to *give me her paw. (*o te wo dasu = ask dog for paw)
Hatchi: That’s what making a move is!
Ikku: Exactly! Even the female dog got mad.
Robby: Hmph. But I have discerning eyes, that’s for sure. She’s not just any female dog but she’s a dog selected to be Ms Hachiko! Ah, speaking of dogs... Hey, look! The statue photo we took earlier! This Hachiko statue looks so adorable, no?!
Hatchi: The Hachi photo that I took is more adorable! Plus, it’s a Hachi and Hatchi!
Robby: Nah, mine’s cuter!
Hatchi: No, mine is!
Robby: Mine!
Hatchi: No, mine!
Robby & Hatchi: (keeps bantering)
Ikku: Stop!!! Both are statues! They look the same in photos!
Robby: Huh? Ikku just doesn't get it.
Hatchi: Yes.
Ikku: Huh?
Robby: Trip is all about statues!
Hatchi: In other words, photos!
Ikku: You guys are not making any sense!!
Ikku: That’s how our visit to Two after flying from Yokkamarché went. And after this, a big row outbreak happens within the spaceship.

Robby: WHAAAATTT???!
Ikku: Here, where?
Hatchi: Hachi~

Trivia & References[edit]
Note: Some trivia notes were added in the translation text by the translator. This section covers only things that were not already included.
Regarding professor Giya – the name can possibly be a reference to Richard Gere (pronounced (/ɡɪər/), who played the role of Ueno’s equivalent in Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, an American adaptation of the story. “Eizaburo” part of Richard’s surname comes from an alternate reading of Hidesaburō: 英三郎 – the first character can be read as ei.
Ikku: Right. Odaiba also has the Statue of Liberty which is supposed to be in New York.
- Just like Robby and Ikku say, there is a Moyai (Moai) Statue in Shibuya and a Statue of Liberty in Obaida.
