Sophie's Blog

Sophie's blog was a promotional blog published in Japan from 2005-2007. It is written from the perspective of Sophie. Its official title is ベログ ("Belog"), a pun on Sophie's Japanese name, "Bebe," and "blog." It retells certain events from Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, remarks on how the household members are doing after the game, and shares excerpts from Mrs. Sanderson's college diary. Because it came out before Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol's release, it also mentions real-life promotional events for that game, which Sophie claims to have attended in-person.

August 2005

August 24

Month Day
Sophie is excited, because today is the first day I write for this blog.
Lately, it’s more popular to write on a PC than in a diary.
When Sophie was taking a walk in the entryway, I heard the Free Rangers gossiping about me.
“She jumps into new fads so quickly…”
But, but, Sophie is a girl who lives in the now!
From the pen to the era of the keyboard.
Just, please, don’t look at me slamming into the keyboard like this...
Anyway, love letters mean more than emails, and I would like to hand a letter over directly...
Kyaaa! I said it!

August 25

Month Day
Today, Dinah fell from the loft in Mama and Papa’s room and broke apart.
While on my walk, I tried to sneak a peek.
It was amazing. She had fallen apart amazingly.
But it’s her job to fall apart, right?
Is it cold of Sophie to think like that?
This summer is so hot.
Sophie looks up to cool women. I want to be like that.

August 26

Month Day
The hot days continue.
Mama has already declared that the family needs to conserve energy.
Chibi-Robo tried to cool Papa down with his Chibi-Copter, but Mama was still mad because that also used up electricity.
Now they just do it behind her back...
Seeing what Papa did, Peekoe said it was worth it to use energy to train, and they began turning red on the kitchen stove.
It looks so hot I want to stop it, but at least it makes for a good story.
Ah, Sophie needs to be cool.

August 29

Month Day
By the way, this is the time of year to be busy with summer homework, but Jenny is still sleeping.
Because Sophie is a toy, I must not move when the family is nearby. But I think it’s lonely when no one is around. So I like when no one is home and when everyone is home.
Does it make Sophie a bad woman to take a walk around the entrance behind their back?
But what can you do?
I think that’s the Free Ranger’s job anyway!!
I won’t fall victim to the temptation of summer!

August 30

Month Day
Actually, it was hectic a few days ago.
Because the “Nintendo Official Guidebook of Chibi-Robo” launched, photographers came and took lots of photos of the Sanderson family.
Sophie wanted a normal picture, and they asked me to just act natural.
I don’t know if they used Sophie’s photos... But the thought makes my heart beat with excitement.
Is it okay to be exposed like that to the public before getting married?
One day, bride Sophie will say...
Kya! That’s embarrassing!
“If someday, I’m married to you, Drake Redcrest...”
Oh no, I said the word!

August 31

Month Day
Thinking about yesterday’s diary entry, I wrote about “Nintendo Official Guidebook of Chibi-Robo,” but what is it exactly?
I overheard Funky Phil’s dance music in Mama and Papa’s bedroom, and a moody Enka song. I found out after sneaking upstairs and peeking in that they were recording a soundtrack CD as a bonus for the book!
I’m surprised that there will be a music CD in a book. It’s a great book, right?
Then Telly came out of the bedroom and said, “I’ll pick up the sound of the Sanderson household, so just act natural.” How exciting!
Well, saying it so suddenly, uh, um...
Before I knew it, the recording session was over.
Sophie, did you do your CD debut properly?

September 2005

September 1

Month Day
Today I was at the mercy of Tao again.
Though I’ve noticed that lately Tao’s drool dries in a matter of seconds, which is at least better than in winter.
I’ve seen frogs drying up in the garden.
When Papa is watering the garden, it feels very cool, but his stomach must be hot. But talking about such things is no good.
It’s just not attractive.
Speaking of, summer is the season of love!!
As for Sophie’s summer experience......, Kya!
The summer isn’t over yet!

September 2

Month Day
The summer heat is as severe as ever.
Jenny is still wearing her frog hat. Isn’t it hot?
Sophie worries that she might collapse.
Sophie has known Jenny since she was born, and she didn’t have a frog head when she was born.
How long has she been wearing that frog hat?
Today Sophie had a fashionable talk with Princess Pitts, but sometimes I have to remove myself from such things.
That’s right. Or maybe I’m just stuffy.
But my head being stuffy is good protection against sunstroke. Health matters most, right?

September 5

Month Day
Speaking of the best moments of summer, Sophie saw an outdoor concert in the garden!
The summer festival traditionally begins with fireworks, and at the end is Drake Redcrest’s Step Judgement!
A superhero has super rhythm.
It was very nice, but can Sophie match with such a wonderful person......?
It’s okay.
Maybe not now, but someday!!

September 6

Month Day
Today, Sophie was laying around, barely conscious due to the heat. But Telly saw me and said, “Sophie, there are no family members around.”
It was very embarrassing for Sophie.
I think if Telly didn’t say something, Drake might have helped me, so I’m a bit upset.
No, no.
A lady must always smile.
It would be embarrassing to try to make him help me on purpose!
......Maybe if I had someone’s help.......

September 7

Month Day
I fell off the stairs three times today.
Just another day.

September 8

Month Day
I can definitely say that Princess Pitts is like a sister to Sophie, but are you serious? Huh? No way!
Princess Pitts and Mort together? Ah! Sophie has no words!
Princess Pitts is a wonderful sister, but isn’t Mort scary?
Could Sophie be misunderstanding the situation?
When I looked into Jenny’s room, I could see a bandage-wrapped figure going into a coffin.
But I haven’t heard anything about a bad reputation.
One can’t judge based on appearances.
Sophie will do her best.

September 9

Month Day
The season is changing, so it seems that everyone is tired.
Still, Sophie can’t give up taking walks around the entrance for beauty.
But today, I saw Chibi-Robo was sitting down, resting!
Robots are tired too......
It looked somewhat melancholy.
I felt that I shouldn’t say anything. I was watching quietly, and then Telly flew over.
More and more, I felt I should not disturb the relationship of those two by speaking.
Speaking of, I often see Chibi-Robo fall down in the middle of the room......
Is he okay?

September 12

Month Day
Although Sophie never changes clothes, Chibi-Robo sometimes changes costumes.
Every time I see Chibi-Robo change clothes, I am surprised. It’s bad for my heart.
However, the recycled pajamas that Mama made look wonderful, and I’m jealous.
I heard that Mama had three patterns that Chibi-Robo could choose between.
I’ve come to expect the painful household budget, but now I finally understand it.
Apparently, one of the fabric choices is Papa’s underw..., No, Sophie, I won’t write about that anymore!
If the fabric Chibi-Robo chose was Papa’s...
Well, that would change the way Sophie sees Chibi-Robo.
I hope it isn’t true.

September 13

Month Day
There’s always something going on in the Sanderson house, but today was another lively one.
During my walk, I heard a loud noise from Jenny’s room. When I peeked in, I saw Sunshine was rampaging.
Sunshine’s pink appearance is cute, but there was a feeling about him that made Sophie uncomfortable.
I usually don’t see such a violent figure.
Yeah, that wasn’t the Sunshine I know.
He seems possessed or something...
Sophie was so scared, I felt a chill in my spine!
Um, please don’t ask where Sophie’s spine is. It’s rude to ask a lady such a thing.

September 14

Month Day
What to do! My heart is beating like mad!!
Today, today......
Oh, it’s hopeless.
When I try to write about it, my fingers shake......
Ah, Sophie doesn’t even have fingers!

September 15

Month Day
Overnight, I calmed down.
Yesterday I was overwhelmed.
Sophie didn’t do anything.
I was startled yesterday because I caught a glimpse of Drake in the living room.
That alone filled Sophie with happiness.
Drake Redcrest was doing his usual patrols.
Please come rescue Sophie again soon!
Save Sophie from this love trap!
Kya---! Is this singsong behavior okay?

September 16

Month Day
The night breeze has felt comfortable lately. It’ll be autumn soon.
I’ve been thinking about the sentimental journey of autumn.
Sophie wonders about past memories.
Yes, I’ll tell the long-awaited story of the days since Chibi-Robo came to the Sanderson family.
After all, Sophie’s memories of love have never before been recorded!

September 20

Month Day
Jenny’s birthday was today.
They had the party a little ways away, but I still celebrated from the gap in the kitchen door.
Sophie has known Jenny since she was born, so it was a perfect attendance award!
Though maybe Sophie was a bit insincere about celebrating Jenny. Drake Redcrest was on TV, so I kept glancing at it.
Kya! I would only tell that secret here!
Mama gave her a ladylike hat.
That ruffian Tao gave her a bone.
The nerve of it, who’d give a bone to a lady?
But it looked like it made Jenny happy, so it made me a little happy too.
Oh yeah, and Papa made Mama upset again.
Just like always......

September 21

Month Day
At night, Sophie was writing in my diary like usual, acting as a door stopper between the kitchen and living room.
I felt the intense gaze of someone, so I closed my diary and screamed.
Looking back, it had been a long time since I had made such a loud sound.
In all the time I’ve been in the Sanderson house, it was my first unpleasant experience......
The one doing the gazing was a silver-bodied robot that seemed familiar.
That’s right, it was the one Papa gave as a gift for Jenny’s birthday.
Since it was small, I didn’t get a close look.
In any case, it didn’t seem to be a bad person, so I said hello.

September 22

Month Day
Chibi-Robo has a manager named Telly Vision.
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard the word “manager,” but it seems like those two people are very close.
Sophie also wants to be someone’s manager... oh!
If I could be by that person’s side around the clock......
No, that’s impossible!
At least, I want to have enough time to write in my diary.

September 26

Month Day
Ah, I can feel my heart beating like mad.
Chibi-Robo, you seem to be very close to Mr. Redcrest......
Pay no attention to Sophie!!
Ha!
Just now, I felt like something black was swirling in my heart.
This feeling is really......

September 27

Month Day
It seems that Sophie had really run to a conclusion back there.
Actually, I cannot run because I have no legs.
Chibi-Robo is wearing the same style as Drake Redcrest because he is helping with the patrol.
There’s no reason to be upset about the fact that they have matching outfits.
What if Sophie and......
I grabbed Telly when he flew in front of me to ask him about it, and apparently that ugly feeling was “jealousy.”
Sophie, you are scary.

September 28

Month Day
Recently I heard the word “ringtone.”
Sophie’s song would be a lady’s melody, a Melady.
It’s a song that flows in Sophie’s head whenever I see Drake.
I want to share it with you, but unfortunately only Sophie can hear it.
Yes, it’s even impossible for Mr. Redcrest...
Fuhuhu......

September 29

Month Day
Sophie had a dream recently.
And, I could remember it clearly when I woke up.
Next time, I’ll write a dream diary entry.
However, recently I’ve had doubts about the word “dream.”
After all, if it comes true, it’s not a dream......
What! If it comes true! It’s just a story, you know.

September 30

Month Day
Sophie is worried.
Just by coincidence, I met someone at the Sanderson household. It was a wonderful defender of justice named Drake Redcrest. I fell in love at first sight. But what’s this!!
Drake was Sophie’s long-lost brother.
Fate is cruel to Sophie.
What is destiny saying to me?
But, Drake still doesn’t know the truth......
Today, he asked Sophie out on a date.
Ah, if I didn’t know, Sophie would happily accept!
Every time Sophie refuses, I bow my head and turn my back from y-o-u.
It’s painful to see Drake like this.

...... That was the dream I had.

October 2005

October 3

Month Day
Come to think of it, Sophie was so surprised, I moved into the kitchen without permission.
You can’t break the rules of the toy world; it’s just, just, just a bad thing to do!
Actually, if a family member catches you, a good idea is to pretend to be thrown by Tao......
But, but, such a thing would make me ashamed to face the defender of justice, Drake Redcrest.
Sophie would be a villain and be captured.
My heart has been captured already. What more could Drake want from Sophie?
A greedy one!

October 4

Month Day
I would have preferred to be trapped in the space between the living room and kitchen.
Today, I was used as Tao’s toy again.
I wanted to go for a walk around the entrance, but I couldn’t get away.
I still feel dizzy.

October 5

Month Day
Today, Drake brought Sophie a beautiful flower.
Sophie is a bad woman for turning him down over and over again.
Though, truthfully, I like it.
Thus, I decided to tell the truth.
Sophie and Drake Redcrest are siblings.
Then, he said adieu, put down the flower, and left without another word.
But, the peace of the Sanderson family is kept well-guarded.
Drake Redcrest’s love......

Well, for two people to be at the mercy of fate is dreamy.
I’m entranced.
Truthfully, it would be sad if Sophie and Drake had such a fate.
It is good to keep these things only in your imagination!

October 6

Month Day
Today, I glanced over at where Mama and Chibi-Robo were having tea together.
Certainly, Sophie does not make a good companion for Mama because I cannot translate for her, but, as a new family member, I think it’s good for Chibi-Robo to get along with her in this way.
But, but!!
Wait, isn’t that too bold?
Even though you and Telly seem to be good friends, you are having tea time alone with her!
While peeping at them, Sophie could feel her heart pounding for some reason.
By the way, when Sophie and Mr. Redcrest make tea, and I put in some sugar, it should be sweet.

October 7

Month Day
Oh, right, last night I heard a strange noise.
Remember, I’m speaking of the time when Chibi-Robo came to the Sanderson family.
Is this... Maybe... Chibi-Robo’s snoring?
Now that I think of it, I heard the sound even when I was near him, so it seems the source is not Chibi-Robo. Hmph.
But, because it’s still unclear, I thought I’d have Chibi-Robo check before asking for Mr. Redcrest’s help.

October 11

Month Day
I haven’t seen Mama in the kitchen lately.
What could be wrong......?
When I’m walking by the entrance, I want to go look in her room.
But, Tao seems to be standing in front of her room, so I don’t want to go any closer.

But, Sophie is worried about you, Mama.

October 12

Month Day
Sophie is a transfer student.
This morning was the first day I was to go to school, but I lost my way and was late!
When I finally saw the school gate, Sophie ran as fast as I could.
Then, when I turned the corner, everything went dark, and then I saw something in front of me that seemed to twinkle and shine.......
It may seem like something beautiful, but Sophie had actually fallen on somebody!
I instinctively took the hand that was outstretched to me, but who is this in front of me!!
(To-be-continued)

October 13

Month Day
“Hey, are you okay, young lady?”
It was a nice gentleman!
It was the first time Sophie had touched a gentleman, and I was so nervous I suddenly let go of his hand.
Even though I had acted so rudely, he still smiled.
Strictly speaking, I could not see his expression because he was wearing a mask, but it was definitely a smile!!
Then, mercifully, kiin kon kaan kon... The school chime rang out!!
“Oops, sorry, I’ll be late!” He jumped high into the air, and the moment he neared the ground he made a mad dash toward the school gate.
(To-be-continued)

October 14

Month Day
Recently, I realized I couldn’t hear that nightly strange sound.
Apparently, Chibi-Robo solved the problem without needing Mr. Redcrest’s help.
Chibi-Robo has also become a member of the Sanderson family.
Now, I can rest well in the evening’s prime beauty sleep period.
......Well, Sophie always thought about Drake Redcrest, and the excitement gave me insomnia for a year!

October 17

Month Day
I don’t know whether or not he can fly, but Sophie was just watching that person’s back.
After that, I got lost in the school building and was very late on my first day. Then, the teacher stood me in front of the class.
I have no legs, but I stood.
Even though it was the first day, Sophie’s heart was full of thoughts of the gentleman from earlier, rather than thoughts of the class.
Then, the teacher pushed the classroom door open.
(To-be-continued)

October 18

Month Day
It’s an a-a-a-a-affair!!
I don’t think I will be seeing Mama......
Apparently Papa made Mama angry like usual, and Mama locked herself in her room.
Because of that, Papa is now in the kitchen.
Men, your unbroken vow should be that you never enter the kitchen.
From the time I joined the family, this is the first time I’ve seen Papa cooking.
Is this okay?

October 19

Month Day
Everyone, quick... try to fix Mama’s mood quickly...
If it continues this way, Sophie is going to end up black with burnt hamburger soot.
Not to mention, if Sophie starts smelling so burnt, it’ll invite Tao’s bite attack.

October 20

Month Day
It looks like everyone is staring.
Feeling shy, Sophie introduced myself in front of the blackboard while staring at the ground.
Then, Sophie went to take a seat where the teacher pointed.
The class mixed men and women, so a boy sat next to me.
This is my first co-ed class, so Sophie is very nervous.
When I sat down, the boy next to me offered his hand and spoke in a clear voice.
The voice was fresh in my memory, and the hand was familiar......!
Sophie’s heart almost came out of her mouth.
“Hey, it was dangerous earlier.
I am Drake Redcrest. Nice to meet you!”
(To-be-continued)

October 21

Month Day
Wh... Wh-wh-wh-what, the one sitting next to Sophie is Drake Redcrest!!
Already, it seems that Sophie’s eyes have become hearts.
One day, I fell in love because of a sudden head-on collision at a corner.
So, thanks to Drake, Sophie got used to the new school and attended happily everyday.

......I wanted to meet Drake Redcrest like that.
Please, at least let me enjoy it in my dreams!

October 24

Month Day
Even during the Sanderson’s family emergency, the unexpectedly appearing Peekoe seems unbothered in his meditation.
The Free Rangers seem to be resuming their training as usual.
The dazzling Drake Redcrest looks so dignified on his patrols.
Are men not rattled by marital feuds?
Should Sophie follow Peekoe’s example and seek to unify my spirit?
I’m worried about whether Jenny is eating properly.

October 26

Month Day
It’s unusually rainy.
When I looked in the garden, Mr. Frog was dancing happily.
The idea of dancing in front of people makes Sophie so embarrassed she could faint, but watching it is fun.
Funky Phil’s dancing is a bit too intense for Sophie.
The flowers in the garden seemed happy to dance in the rain.

October 27

Month Day
As always, Mama remains in her room.
Papa was watering the garden today.
I suddenly realized the weeds that had grown in the backyard were gone.
Was Chibi-Robo weeding?
I could see a pattern on the ground where the weeds were.
I’ve seen that somewhere before.......
What is it?

October 28

Month Day
Today, when I was taking my usual crawl around the entrance, I saw strangers that looked like spiders!
Sophie tried to greet them, but I was a little upset because they didn’t respond. It seems Sandersons are ignoring them, so I stood to the side and watched them.
Because the garden window is always left open, they may be coming in from there.

October 31

Month Day
Apparently, those spiders are called “spydorz.”
Sunshine, who was in a good mood, said he saw it on the news.
They seem to have appeared in many homes recently.
It’s unusual for the Sanderson family to be on the cutting age of the latest craze!
