[00:15] Aharen
    Good morning, Tama-chan.
[00:17] Sato
    Morning!
[00:18] Riku
    G-Good morning.
[00:25] Aharen
    Those loose socks are cute.
[00:28] Riku
    Th-Thanks.
[00:30] Sato
    Gyaru fashion can be so cute.
[00:32] Aharen
    I wanna try wearing some.
[00:35] Riku
    I've got another pair...
[00:38] Riku
    New ones!
[00:39] Aharen
    Can I try them on?
[00:41] Riku
    You bet!
[00:42] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[00:43] Sato
    Hey, I think they look good!
[00:45] Riku
    Yeah! You're adorbs, Aha-chan!
[00:48] Aharen
    Thanks.
[00:50] Oshiro
    Looking real nice, Reina-chan!
[00:52] Sato
    Good morning, Oshiro-san.
[00:56] Oshiro
    You borrowed a pair from Tamanaha-san, huh?
[00:59] Oshiro
    Kinda makes me wanna do your hair to match.
[01:02] Riku
    Good idea!
[01:03] Aharen
    Sounds like fun.
[01:05] Oshiro
    Shall we give it a go, then?

    Episode Four An Idol, Huh?
[02:40] Raido
    Morning.
[02:50] Aharen
    Good morning, Raido-kun.
[02:52] Raido
    Aharen-san's gone gyaru!
[02:56] Raido
    She's always been so modest fashion-wise.
[02:59] Raido
    What brought this on?!
[03:01] Raido
    Hang on. According to some,
    gyaru fashion...
[03:05] Raido
    is a way to express desire for independence.
[03:07] Raido
    Smashing outdated conceptions
    and yearning for transformation,
[03:11] Raido
    all manifesting as radical fashion.
    Or so the theory goes.
[03:16] Raido
    And so this must mean...
[03:18] Raido
    personal growth!
[03:20] Raido
    I need to encourage Aharen-san
    as she continues on her journey.
[03:23] Raido
    Even trying a different look,
    you're as cute as ever.
[03:28] Aharen
    Thank you.
[03:33] Raido
    Huh?
[03:34] Raido
    Shoot.
[03:35] Raido
    I forgot the printout for this lesson.
[03:37] Aharen
    Do you want to look at mine?
[03:40] Raido
    Nice! That's real radical of you, Aharen-san!
[03:44] Raido
    What did I just say?!
[03:46] Raido
    Don't tell me...
[03:48] Raido
    Is gyaru culture taking over my brain?!

    Has my subconscious desire
    to keep up with Aharen-san led to this?
[03:58] Raido
    Not good. I need to hold on
    to my own individuality.
[04:02] Raido
    I'm gonna go wash my face real quick.
[04:12] Raido
    Back!
[04:17] Raido
    Yo, Reina-chan.
[04:19] Aharen
    Rei...!
[04:20] Raido
    Is it just me,
     or is first period an absolute drag?
[04:24] Aharen
    I am feeling kinda tired.
[04:26] Raido
    I know, right?
[04:28] Raido
    So, like, in that case...
[04:29] Raido
    There's a shot you're feeling sluggy
    'cause you're short on vitamin B1, y'hear?
[04:35] Raido
    Best medicine for that is brown rice,
    pork, and soy beans!
[04:38] Raido
    Last thing you want is to
    ditch class cuz you're wiped.
[04:44] Tobaru
    I believe I'm developing a decent
    amount of esteem resistance.
[04:48] Tobaru
    The two of them acting a bit close
    isn't enough to get to me anymore.
[04:53] Tobaru
    Good morning.
[04:54] Raido
    Sup!
[04:57] Raido
    Yo, we got the number one
    teacher in the house!
[05:00] Raido
    We're all set here, so kick it
    with the lesson whenever!
[05:02] Raido
    Counting on class in god mode, thanks much!
[05:05] Tobaru
    That I did not see coming!
[05:08] Tobaru**
    This is bad! I sense life-threatening
    levels of Esteem Danger Syndrome...
[05:13] Tobaru
    Study amongst yourselves for now!
[05:15] Raido
    Oh, ya forget something?
[05:17] Raido
    Hey, it can happen to anyone. No biggie.
[05:23] Raido
    GG on another day of school!
[05:26] Raido
    How's about we head into town
[05:29] Raido
    and we... have ourselves a little fun?
[05:31] Aharen

    What've we got here?
    You goin' for the OG look now?
[06:06] Raido
    What's up? You feel
    like something different?
[06:08] Raido
    You wanna rap about it?
[06:09] Aharen
    I let everyone dress me up
    like that yesterday.
[06:14] Aharen
    Gyaru fashion was fun.
[06:17] Raido
    Oh, cool, cool.
    So just taking it for a test run?
[06:23] Raido
    Word, word. I hear that. Right on.
[06:28] Raido
    Welp, let's head to school.
[06:36] Raido
    Another day done.
[06:38] Aharen
    Raido-kun.
[06:40] Raido
    As close as ever today, I see. What's up?
[06:43] Aharen
    Let's go to the arcade today.
[06:46] Raido
    Sure. Sounds good.
[06:49] Raido
    Aharen-san doesn't ask me out much...
[06:53] Girls; unmarked AD
    I'm trying to get it to turn out right.
[06:56] Raido

[07:12] Raido
    with concerts, mobile games,
    and a new anime series in the works.
[07:16] Raido
    It's a major hit.
[07:19] Aharen
    I'm back.
[07:21] Aharen
    Sorry to make you wait.
[07:23] Raido
    I had fun watching, so no worries.
[07:25] Aharen
    I got into the game a while ago...
[07:28] Aharen
    After Oshiro-san's makeover yesterday,
    I got the urge to play it again.
[07:34] Raido
    Yeah, you can wear all the
    outfits you want in a game.
[07:37] Aharen
    Care to give it a go, Raido-kun?
[07:40] Aharen

    you could get into this.
[09:22] Aharen

[09:26] Raido
    Futaba-chan.
[09:27] Aharen
    Do you play PriPla too, Futaba-chan?
[09:30] Futaba
    What? No way.
[09:32] Futaba
    I'm too old for that kind of thing.
[09:34] Futaba
    You two are—

    I'm thrilled to be enjoying

[10:50] Raido
    it's beginning to eat into my funds.
[10:54] Raido
    I'd better start budgeting.
[10:57] Raido
    Huh?
[11:01] Raido
    Excuse me, miss.
[11:03] Arcade Worker
    Yes?
[11:04] Raido
    What happened to the PriPla machines?
[11:05] Arcade Worker
    The PriPla cabinets?
[11:07] Arcade Worker
    The game ended service yesterday,
    so we removed them.
[11:17] Raido
    It's over?
[11:20] Raido
    Oh no...
[11:22] Raido
    That means...
[11:25] Raido
    I'll never get to see Rai-chan again?
[11:30] Raido
    What an abrupt farewell.
[11:41] Aharen
    Let's head to the arcade again today.
[11:45] Raido
    An arcade without PriPla
...

[11:47] Raido
    I have a feeling this'll just make me sad.
[11:51] Raido
    That's...
[11:53] Sign
    Gotcha! PriGachi
[11:56] Sign
    I'm for real about this!
[11:57] Raido
    The latest entry in the series, PriGachi*!
[12:01] Aharen
    Let's play the new one.
[12:04] Raido
    No, I couldn't bear being*
    torn apart like that again.
[12:15] Raido
    Never getting to see her again...
[12:17] Raido
    I had no idea that a sudden goodbye
    could be so painful.
[12:21] Raido
    Rai-chan...
[12:26] Raido
    With PriPla ending service,
    I can never play it again!

[12:36] Aharen
    You okay?
[12:38] Raido
    Oh... yeah.
[12:41] Raido
    I shouldn't make Aharen-san worry about me.
[12:44] Raido
    The best way to recover...
[12:50] Raido
    would be to play the new entry, PriGachi*.
[12:54] Raido
    If I make the character,
    she'll look like Rai-chan,
[12:57] Raido
    so I'll use one of the premade characters.

    PriPla...?
[14:34] Aharen
    I think it's because they announced

[14:37] Aharen
    So they put the cabinets back in circulation.

[15:06] Ido
    No, it could only be me.
[15:09] Rai/Ido
    Who will you choose?!
[15:12] Raido
    Which one of them should I pick?!
[15:17] Raido
    This isn't right. I...
[15:21] Raido
    can't abandon either one of them.
[15:24] Raido
    PriPla and PriGachi...*
[15:26] Raido*
    I'll play both!
[15:32] Raido
    Not enough money, huh?
[15:35] Rai
    All out of money? I guess
    we can't play anymore, then.
[15:38] Ido
    Ever so sorry, but I don't
    have time for the poor.
[15:41] Rai/Ido
    Bye-bye!
[15:53] Raido
    Supporting your idols is hard work...

[16:04] Shirorin
    Aharen-san is taking notes,

[16:08] Sign
    ...softly so you won't notice
    Feelings hard to put into words
[16:10] Raido
    Lyrics? I get it!
[16:14] Raido
    Idol stuff!
[16:16] Raido
    Aharen-san wants to be an idol!
[16:20] Raido
    And idols need songs.
[16:22] Raido
    That's why she's writing down
    lyrics in her notebook.
[16:26] Raido
    An idol, huh?
[16:37] Raido
    If that's what Aharen-san wants,
    I should overcome my sorrowful past
[16:41] Raido
    and support her with all I've got.
[16:43] Raido
    No. Hang on.
[16:45] Raido
    I need to calm down
    and seriously consider this.
[16:48] Raido
    Getting ahead of myself generally
    hasn't led me to the right answer...
[16:52] Raido
    It's a bad habit of mine.
[16:54] Raido
    But I'm more than capable of growing.
[16:56] Raido
    I'll observe her closely
    and get to the bottom of this.
[16:59] Ishikawa
    It's been so humid lately.
[17:02] Sato
    You're telling me.
[17:09] Raido
    Now she's making clothes.
[17:12] Raido
    Aharen-san, could that be...
[17:15] Raido
    your idol costume?!
[17:17] Raido
    It's not unheard of for rookie idols
    to make their own early on!
[17:23] Raido
    As glamorous as the stage might be,
[17:25] Raido
    there's real elbow grease behind the scenes!
[17:28] Raido
    No, I'm doing it again.
    I can't jump to conclusions.
[17:31] Raido
    Be patient and look for the facts.
[17:33] Riku
    Our music homework is such a pain, huh?
[17:36] Oshiro
    You think?
[17:43] Raido
    Aharen-san is practicing with an instrument?
[17:47] Raido
    Aharen-san, could you be...
[17:50] Raido
    composing?!
[17:52] Raido
    Is she aiming to be a singer-songwriter
    idol who makes her own music?!
[17:57] Raido
    She probably doesn't want to entrust
    her songs, her very life, to others!
[18:02] Raido
    Enough! It's like every little thing
    is making me think about idols!
[18:09] Raido
    Steady now, Raido.
[18:11] Raido

    Thank you.

    I've been observing her for several days,
    and all signs point to the same thing.

    Am I really so incapable of growth?!

    The shopping arcade's holding

[18:57] Raido Sis
    Thank you, everyone! See you again!
[19:07] Raido Sis
    That was nerve-racking!
[19:09] Friend A
    But it was fun!
[19:12] Raido
    What's this, Sis?
[19:14] Raido Sis
    What?! Nii-chan?!
[19:16] Raido Sis
    Hey! What're you doing here?!
[19:18] Raido
    Uh, I was just walking by, actually...
[19:22] Raido Sis
    Did you see?
[19:23] Raido
    See what?
[19:27] Raido Sis
    My friends invited me to perform with them
    onstage for the neighborhood association.
[19:32] Raido Sis
    So I did...
[19:34] Friend A
    There, there.
[19:35] Friend B
    What's the harm?

    Raido-niinii!
[19:40] Aharen
    R-Raido-kun...
[19:45] Raido
    Aharen-san?
[19:47] Raido
    Are the three of you going to be
     performing as an idol group?
[19:52] Ren
    Check it out! We're the Aharen Sisters!
[19:55] Raido
    "Sisters"?
[19:57] Ren
    Reina-neenee's amazing!
[19:59] Ren
    She came up with our song and outfits!
[20:04] Aharen
    W-Well, Ren said he wanted to do
    an idol act at the festival, so...
[20:10] Aharen
    I decided to go along with him.
[20:14] Raido
    So it really was idol stuff.
[20:17] Aharen
    This is embarrassing.
[20:19] Raido
    It's okay.
[20:22] Raido
    You really should have more confidence.
[20:25] Raido
    I think you're incredible, Aharen-san.
[20:30] Aharen
    Thank you.
[20:35] Aharen
    Well, we're going on.
[20:38] Raido
    Break a leg, Aharen-san.
[20:43] Raido
    That's right.
[20:46] Raido
    I should have more confidence
    in my intuition, too.
[20:52] Ren
    Everyone! We're here!
[21:31] Raido
    Good morning, Aharen-san.
[21:35] Aharen
    Good morning, Raido-kun.
[21:38] Raido
    Aharen-san, that mask...
[21:41] Raido
    I know!
[21:43] Raido
    She became an idol sensation overnight!
[21:47] Raido
    And now she's forced to wear
    that mask to hide her identity!

[22:06] Raido
    But this is Aharen-san's dream,
    and she's achieved it.
[22:10] Raido
    I'll support you in all you do moving forward.
[22:14] Aharen
    I hurt my throat with all that singing...
[22:17] Aharen
    But it's fine, since I'm not gonna sing anymore.
[22:21] Raido
    Oh. I see.
