***SIGN*** Music can change the world.
***SIGN*** What about you, Shinji?
**[03:21] ---**
Hm? Me?
**[03:24] ---**
What about me?
**[03:25] ---**
Shinji-kun is beautiful, both
as a person and a performer.
**[03:30] ---**
He's just so wonderful. I still admire him
even though we work together now.
**[03:34] ---**
A self-proclaimed prince with long bangs,
good breeding, and a conductor for a father.
**[03:39] ---**
A famous one at that.
**[03:41] ---**
The world-renowned Eiji Kanou.
He's considered a national treasure.
**[03:45] ---**
When I was young, just getting
praise was enough to make me happy.
**[03:49] ---**
That was all I really needed.
**[04:10] Background**
*Shinji Kanou-kun, please report
to the director's office.*
**[04:16] Background**
*Shinji Kanou-kun, please report
to the director's office.*
**[04:27] ---**
What is it?
**[04:31] ---**
Paganini's Caprice No. 24, correct?
**[04:37] ---**
Um, yes, it is. Uh...
**[04:40] ---**
Oh, excuse me. You're Shinji Kanou-kun, right?
**[04:44] ---**
Yes. That's right.
**[04:46] ---**
They just asked you to go to the
director's office on the intercom.
**[04:55] ---**
Director's Office
**[04:55] ---**
Director's Office
**[04:58] ---**
Excuse me.
**[05:06] ---**
Shinji Kanou-kun.
**[05:08] ---**
Our top student in terms of
grades and performing skills.
**[05:11] ---**
Wonderful.
**[05:24] ---**
Artists Republic Performers.
**[05:28] ---**
A group composed of some of
Japan's finest singers and dancers,
**[05:32] ---**
with the skills to compete
on a global level.
**[05:35] ---**
That's ARP.
**[05:37] ---**
Finest singers and dancers...
**[05:40] ---**
So, idols, basically?
**[05:43] ---**
Yes. Your point?
**[05:46] ---**
I don't think that kind of thing is for me...
**[05:48] ---**
The son of Maestro Eiji Kanou becoming
an idol would be "inappropriate." Is that it?
**[05:56] ---**
He's got nothing to do with it.
**[05:58] ---**
I am my own person.
**[06:00] ---**
If there's nothing else, I'll be going now.
**[06:04] ---**
You are your own person...
**[06:06] ---**
Out of interest, when you say "I",
which "you" are you referring to?
**[06:16] ---**
The "you" who gets top grades and
outshines everyone at performing?
**[06:19] ---**
The "you" who spouts truisms even most
kids would be too embarrassed to say?
**[06:27] ---**
Or the "you" with bags of potential
who's letting it all go to waste?
**[06:32] ---**
That's pretty rude.
**[06:34] ---**
I want to figure out who you are.
**[06:38] ---**
Don't you want to know, too?
**[06:42] ---**
*Who... am I?*
**[06:48] (Flashback) ---**
Wow, you're so good!
**[06:50] (Flashback) ---**
I can tell you're the son of a maestro.
**[06:54] (Flashback) ---**
Who's that?
**[06:55] (Flashback) ---**
That's Eiji Kanou's son, right?
**[08:27] ---**
I'm...
**[08:40] ---**
I'm ho—
**[08:47] ---**
Welcome back.
**[08:47] ---**
Hey, what are you doing in my room?
**[08:53] ---**
How'd you get the key?
**[08:56] ---**
I don't wanna be here, either.
**[08:58] ---**
Mother told me I had to check in
on you every once in a while.
**[09:14] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:16] ---**
What?
**[09:20] ---**
If somebody asked you who you were,
what would you tell them?
**[09:30] ---**
"The real me is an idol."
**[09:32] ---**
Ridiculous.
**[09:36] ---**
*Oh, jeez. That's scary.*
**[09:38] ---**

**[09:39] ---**
Mom!
Bro's acting weird!
**[09:51] ---**
Kanou-kun.
**[09:54] ---**
Thanks for your help yesterday, uh...
**[09:56] ---**
Matsumoto.
**[09:58] ---**
I'm in a lot of your classes, you know.
**[10:01] ---**
Sorry, Matsumoto-kun. I'll remember it now.
**[10:06] ---**
So?
**[10:07] ---**
"So"?
**[10:08] ---**
What'd the director say?
**[10:10] ---**
Oh, right... That.
**[10:18] ---**
ARP...
**[10:20] ---**
I see. The rumor was true, then.
**[10:24] ---**
So what are you going to do?
**[10:26] ---**
What am I going to do?
**[10:28] ---**
I can't just become an idol.
**[10:30] ---**
Hey.
**[10:37] ---**
Where's the director?
**[10:39] ---**
The director? His office
is on the third floor.
**[10:42] ---**
But first, you need to go to
the office on the first floor—
**[10:44] ---**
Third floor. Let's go, Rage.
**[10:57] ---**
Ugh, they're not transfer students, are they?
**[11:01] ---**
I wouldn't want guys like them at our school.
**[11:04] ---**
I hope not. But I think I recognize them...
**[11:10] ---**
ARP.
**[11:15] ---**
ARP.
**[11:19] ---**
Kanou-kun! Kanou-kun!
**[11:22] ---**
Oh, Matsumoto-kun.
**[11:24] ---**
Something incredible's happened.
**[11:25] ---**
Incredible?
**[11:27] ---**
This way. Come with me!
**[11:30] ---**
Those two guys we bumped into earlier
are potential members of ARP.
**[11:34] ---**
Huh? They are?
**[11:36] ---**
Look at this.
**[11:40] ---**
They're an indie band called "Cross Bone"
who are semi-big in Yokohama.
**[11:46] ---**
I can't believe it took me
so long to remember them.
**[11:49] ---**
I have audio, too.
**[11:51] ---**
Gimme a second.
**[11:53] ---**
No, I'm fine.
**[11:55] ---**
Really?
**[12:00] ---**
It's not my thing.
**[12:02] ---**
And I'm thinking of turning down
the offer to join ARP, anyway.
**[12:08] ---**
Kanou-kun, are you okay with that?
**[12:14] ---**
Whether it's your thing or not,
you gotta admit, they're pretty cool.
**[12:18] ---**
Visually and musically,
they understand their talent.
**[12:23] ---**
And that talent is a special one.
**[12:26] ---**
Kanou-kun, you're the same.
**[12:29] ---**
You might even say music loves you.
**[12:32] ---**
It'd be a waste to turn your back on it.
**[13:15] ---**
We'll adjust our schedule based
on the answers they give us.
**[13:28] ---**
That's everything.
**[13:31] ---**
Yes?
**[13:32] ---**
Excuse me.
**[13:43] ---**
I... want to know who I am.
**[13:54] ---**
This'll be fun, won't it?
**[13:56] ---**
Yes.
**[14:00] ---**
Let's put together a schedule
that will lead up to your debut.
**[14:04] ---**
D-Debut?
**[14:05] ---**
Yes.
**[14:06] ---**
First, we'll organize lessons for you
to get you ready for your performance.
**[14:10] ---**
It won't be easy.
**[14:11] ---**
O-Okay...
**[14:14] ---**
Thinking back, that was
the exact moment I joined ARP.
**[14:20] ---**
So back when we were in Cross Bone,
**[14:22] ---**
me and Rage were having an effect
on Shinji without even knowing it?
**[14:28] ---**
I didn't know you had
such a deep respect for us.
**[14:32] ---**
I'll give you my autograph later.
**[14:34] ---**
Wow, you sure put a lot
of thought into it, Shinji-kun.
**[14:37] ---**
And Cross Bone was seriously cool.
**[14:40] ---**
Those days really helped me grow up, yeah.
**[16:15] ---**
* Thank you for attending tonight's*
* AR Performance Concert.*
**[16:21] ---**
*I'm your MC for the evening, Iccho Mori.*
**[16:25] ---**
*Let's get on with the show!*
**[16:30] ---**
* I've taken to the stage countless times*
* for recitals since I was a kid.*
**[16:37] ---**
*But my legs are shaking!*
**[16:39] ---**
Nervous?
**[16:42] ---**
Tetsu-san.
**[16:43] ---**
It's a concert. You have to show
them what's really in your heart.
**[16:48] ---**
You need to entertain everyone in the hall.
**[16:52] ---**
Everyone in the hall?
**[17:04] ---**
And now, here for your enjoyment
is Shinji-kun live in concert!
**[17:07] ---**
With: "The World Is Mine."
**[17:10] ---**
*Who... am I?*
**[19:16] ---**
Shinji!
**[19:18] ---**
Shinji!
**[19:21] ---**
*I... I can be anything up here.*
**[19:27] ---**
*This is... where I belong!*
**[21:10] ---**
Hello to everyone out there
watching *ARP Backstage Pass*.
**[21:13] ---**
Hello there.
**[21:14] ---**
In Episode 2, you got to see my story
and how I made my debut.
**[21:20] ---**
What did you think?
**[21:21] ---**
Did you enjoy it?
**[21:23] ---**
It was yawnsville! I barely got any screen time.
**[21:28] ---**
Next episode will be León-kun's last.
**[21:31] ---**
Nah, it won't.
**[21:32] ---**
Well, look. At this point, León
wasn't even part of ARP, right?
**[21:36] ---**
You'll show up in the next episode.
**[21:38] ---**
This episode was a story about how Shinji
looks down on the rest of us peasants.
**[21:43] ---**
That's total baloney, too.
**[21:45] ---**
I want you guys to tell me
what you really thought about it.
**[21:48] ---**
Okay, sure, I can do that.
I liked your little sister, Mari, "Big Bro."
**[21:53] ---**
Mari
**[21:53] ---**
"Big Bro."
**[21:54] ---**
Dude, you just crossed a line.
**[21:55] ---**
"Big Bro."
**[21:57] ---**
I figured you might say that.
**[21:59] ---**
Is she always so bratty?
**[22:02] ---**
When your sister talks to you, I mean.
**[22:04] ---**
Hm, yeah, I suppose...
In fact, she's probably worse.
**[22:09] ---**
Ha, seriously?
**[22:11] ---**
Is that the best you can come up with?
What about the theme of the episode?
**[22:15] ---**
Oh, yeah, the theme.
**[22:17] ---**
The dog was great.
**[22:18] ---**
The dog was cute.
**[22:20] ---**
Seriously cute.
**[22:20] ---**
Though, I guess even rich
people have problems.
**[22:24] ---**
I could tell Shinji had it pretty rough.
**[22:27] ---**
Yeah, you could say that.
**[22:29] ---**
Of course, it was a
dramatized version of events.
**[22:32] ---**
But well, there are reasons for that.
**[22:35] ---**
Yeah, 'cause you look down on peasants.
**[22:37] ---**
I so don't.
**[22:38] ---**
I'm a peasant too, you know.
**[22:40] ---**
Guys, guys, it doesn't matter.
**[22:43] ---**
Anyway, Matsumoto-kun got
way too much screen time again.
**[22:45] ---**
Matsumoto-kun
**[22:46] ---**
He got more lines than Rebel Cross.
**[22:48] ---**
We're cutting your dialogue
to keep the show from going to pot,
**[22:52] ---**
so it makes sense. But yeah,
he gets too much screen time.
**[22:55] ---**
Totally. And he talks too much.
**[22:57] ---**
But it's obvious you couldn't really tell
the story of my debut without including him.
**[23:03] ---**
But yeah, he showed up a lot.
**[23:04] ---**
Hey, I know!
**[23:06] ---**
Why don't we all take turns doing
Matsumoto-kun's lines next time?
**[23:11] ---**
We can each say a word in turn, yeah?
**[23:16] ---**
Okay, time for the preview.
**[23:18] ---**
Huh? Why are you ignoring me?
**[23:19] ---**
'Cause you're a weirdo.
**[23:21] ---**
We can't tell if you're
joking or being serious.
**[23:25] ---**
All right, guys, let's do the preview.
**[23:27] ---**
Okay, all yours.
**[23:27] ---**
Okay!
**[23:28] ---**
Next time, we present
the dramatic and sexy story
**[23:31] ---**
of how yours truly, Daiya, and my buddy,
Rage, made our debut as Rebel Cross.
**[23:34] ---**
It's Rage and Daiya,
not the other way around.
**[23:36] ---**
Shut your trap.
**[23:37] ---**
Look forward to it!
