[01:37] ---
    You want to hear about
    Shinji ft. Cross Bone?
[01:40] ---
    Yes. I was the one who floated the idea.
[01:43] ---
    I got it when I won our first battle,
[01:45] ---
    giving me total control over
    what we produced next.
[01:51] ---
    Contact us as soon as you've
    decided what you'll be doing.
[01:55] ---
    Of course.
[01:56] ---
    I look forward to seeing what
    Prince Shinji-kun will come up with.
[02:02] ---
    I wonder... Hm...
[02:04] ---
    Maybe you'll ride in on a white horse.
[02:06] ---
    Not a chance.
[02:07] ---
    Oh, uh... Huh.
[02:11] ---
    Anyway, I want you to present
    yourself however you see fit.
[02:15] ---
    I can't wait.
[02:16] ---
    Okay.
[02:22] ---
    Maybe a Pegasus would've
    been a better suggestion.
[02:25] ---
    No, it wouldn't.
[02:28] ---
    Oh. I see.

[03:10] ---
    I like your new hairstyle.
[03:12] ---
    Right?
[03:13] ---
    I was surprised too, at first,
    but I like it now. Don't you, bro?
[03:31] ---
    Do you like it at ISM?
[03:34] ---
    He's working really hard
    at singing and dancing.
[03:37] ---
    Singing and dancing?
[03:40] ---
    You know, ARP!
[03:42] ---
    Mom told you about it, didn't she?
[03:45] ---
    Oh, yes, that's right.
[03:48] ---
    My brother's super popular now!
[03:51] ---
    I took to the stage at an ARP concert.
[03:56] ---
    Right now, I'm practicing
    for our next concert.
[04:00] ---
    I see.
[04:02] ---
    I'm tired. I'm going to get some rest.
[04:04] ---
    Okay.
[04:05] ---
    Mari, I'll clean up later.
[04:08] ---
    Lock up when you leave.
[04:10] ---
    Gotcha. Night.
[04:12] ---
    Night.
[04:28] (Flashback) ---
    Dad! Dad!
[04:34] ---
    Thank you for the violin.
[04:36] ---
    You looked very dashing.
[04:40] ---
    Can I be in your orchestra someday?
[04:50] ---
    Yes, you can.
[04:52] ---
    If you practice as hard as you can,
[04:56] ---
    you could even make first chair.
[05:24] ---
    Dad stopped talking
    about the violin after that.
[05:30] ---
    And I stopped going up onstage.
[05:44] ---
    Rebellion.
[05:45] ---
    Rebellion?
[05:46] ---
    Yeah.
[05:47] ---
    It's time for you to show everyone
    you're following your own path,
[05:52] ---
    regardless of what your father thinks.
[05:55] ---
    With Rebel Cross?
[05:58] ---
    They're your exact opposite
    and you're going to work with them?
[06:02] ---
    Yes.
[06:03] ---
    And our group name will be
    Shinji ft. Cross Bone.
[06:08] ---
    "Featuring Cross Bone," was it?
[06:11] ---
    I want to feed off them and
    learn how to sing like a rockstar.
[06:14] ---
    And also, to pay tribute
    to their indie rock beginnings.
[06:19] ---
    I see. A very gentlemanly plan,
    befitting of Prince Shinji.
[06:25] ---
    But... is there any part
    of Shinji Kanou in there?
[06:30] ---
    Yes.
[06:33] ---
    Yes. There is.
[06:42] ---
    Looks like his idea was
    a little different from mine.
[06:46] ---
    Yes. Totally different.
[06:50] ---
    Rock?
[06:51] ---
    Yes. Rock.
[06:53] ---
    Where's this coming from?
[06:54] ---
    What even is your rock? "Prince" rock?
[07:03] [SONG]
    Weren't we born to laugh with one another?
[07:09] [SONG]
    Nonsense? Delusions? No way!
[07:14] [SONG]
    You can laugh and call me
    a fool if you like!
[07:17] [SONG]
    But aren't we too young to harden
    and close our hearts?
[07:25] [SONG]
    Don't give up!
[07:30] [SONG]
    Say yeah, pure young boys!
[07:32] [SONG]
    Stand up and stand by!
[07:33] [SONG]
    Don't just be the grown-ups' slave!
[07:36] [SONG]
    Fight back, kid, let them
    hear your pained cry!
[07:56] ---
    A training camp?
[07:57] ---
    Yes. We'll be sleeping
    at ISM's lessons studio.
[08:01] ---
    How'd you manage to book that?
[08:05] ---
    I look forward to working with you.
[08:07] ---
    Uh, what's in that huge suitcase?
[08:10] ---
    Oh, this is my stuff.
[08:12] ---
    You guys didn't bring anything?
[08:15] ---
    Our stuff's in our dorm rooms.
[08:18] ---
    All we need is a place to sleep.
[08:23] ---
    Hey...
[08:48] ---
    Hey. What the hell is that?
[08:50] ---
    A sleeping bag.
[08:54] ---
    But you know...
[08:56] ---
    He's not very considerate.
[08:59] ---
    He leaves all the lights on.
[09:01] ---
    He takes the first shower.
[09:03] ---
    And now, he's zonked out.
[09:08] ---
    Hey, don't you know how
    to get along with others?
[09:10] ---
    We're here to train, aren't we?
[09:11] ---
    Yelling's pointless.
[09:13] ---
    But...
[09:13] ---
    Check out his ears.
[09:17] ---
    Earplugs?
[09:18] ---
    How spoiled was he growing up?
[09:23] ---
    ARP!
[09:28] ---
    ARP!
[09:36] ---
    The t-shirts are ready.
[09:37] ---
    I like 'em. I did a great job.
[09:40] ---
    You congratulating yourself?
[09:41] ---
    I sure am.
[09:42] ---
    They look really cool.
[09:44] ---
    It's like... this is "rock," right?
[09:46] ---
    Yeah, no.
[09:47] ---
    At least don't tuck it in.
[09:52] ---
    Matsumoto-kun!
[09:54] ---
    Kanou-kun!
[10:00] ---
    Screams rock, doesn't it?
[10:02] ---
    Rock...
[10:03] ---
    That's Shinji's— No, the real Kanou-kun's
    way of expressing himself, huh?
[10:09] ---
    Yes.
[10:10] ---
    Magnificent!
[10:12] ---
    You think so?
[10:13] ---
    I do, totally.
[10:14] ---
    The elegant performer, Prince Shinji,
    and the rockstar, Shinji!
[10:18] ---
    Yeah.
[10:19] ---
    Kanou-kun?
[10:20] ---
    Yes?
[10:21] ---
    This is how an artist fights back!
[10:24] ---
    Ah, thank you.
[10:26] ---
    You're a mite close.
[10:27] ---
    My bad. People tell me
    I'm a personal space invader.
[10:31] [SONG]
    Am I living not to protect
    someone, but to destroy?
[10:37] [SONG]
    The answer is lost to me...
[10:44] ---
    That's enough for today.
[10:46] ---
    You've sung more than you should.
[10:48] ---
    Right.
[10:49] ---
    Okay, dismissed.
[10:52] ---
    Get your rest.
[10:53] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:58] ---
    What is it?
[11:00] ---
    Something's missing.
[11:16] ---
    Shinji-san!
[11:18] ---
    Shinji!
[11:19] ---
    Yes?
[11:20] ---
    That's dangerous.
[11:22] ---
    Don't swing it around.
[11:24] ---
    Okay.
[11:38] ---
    This stand... Can we use this?
[11:43] ---
    Not just for singing, I mean.
[11:45] ---
    As part of the performance...
[11:46] ---
    Throwing this move at them in formation!
[11:50] ---
    Flinging around the mic stand? Sure, why not?
[11:53] ---
    It's been a while, hasn't it, Rage?
[11:55] ---
    Let's do it.
[12:00] ---
    That's "rock," right?
[12:02] ---
    Uh, yeah...
[12:06] ---
    Okay! Let's go!
[12:07] ---
    Yeah!
[12:08] ---
    Okay.
[12:12] ---
    So how do we do it?
[12:13] ---
    We go hard.
[12:16] ---
    Sorry.
[12:17] ---
    That was close.
[12:18] ---
    Don't be dumb. Stand a little further apart.
[12:21] ---
    Jeez.
[12:23] ---
    Okay, that'll do it.
[12:25] ---
    One, two...
[12:37] ---
    Right! That gave me an idea.
[12:40] ---
    We'll pick it up tomorrow.
[12:41] ---
    We're really done for the
    day now. Good work, fellas.
[12:50] ---
    I need... food.
[12:54] ---
    Seafood
    Ramen
[12:54] ---
    Seafood
    Ramen
[13:01] ---
    What's this?
[13:02] ---
    This is what you eat when
    you're locked up and practicing.
[13:06] ---
    But wouldn't fresh veg—
[13:08] ---
    This is more Cross Bone's style.
[13:12] ---
    You want us to teach you, right?
[13:15] ---
    Know your place.
[13:21] ---
    Where's the lid?
[13:22] ---
    The lid?
[13:23] ---
    I mean...
[13:26] ---
    Don't tell me you've
    never had instant ramen.
[13:28] ---
    Huh? No, I have... I mean,
    probably, at some point...
[13:33] ---
    If you had, you wouldn't
    have ripped off the lid.
[13:45] ---
    I see.
[13:47] ---
    I look forward to seeing
    what Kanou-kun comes up with.
[13:49] ---
    Indeed.
[13:51] ---
    Excuse me.
[13:52] ---
    We've been waiting for you, León-kun.
[13:55] ---
    And here I am. What did you want today?
[13:58] ---
    Oh, it's about the
    self-produced demo you gave us.
[14:02] ---
    Oh, yeah! Did you like it?
[14:04] ---
    I think it's killer and adorbs
    at the same time. Don't you?
[14:08] ---
    Yeah. I think?
[14:12] ---
    I'm afraid the composing producer
    who's been helping you, Hirata-san,
[14:16] ---
    called us and said it was no good.
[14:21] ---
    He offered several practical ways
    to improve the song itself,
[14:25] ---
    but he's asked for a total
    rewrite of the lyrics.
[14:30] ---
    I was so confident, too.
[14:33] ---
    What was wrong with them?
[14:34] ---
    Very funny.
[14:34] ---
    Next time,
    don't screw around.
[14:34] ---
    Hirata.
[14:37] ---
    Well, for starters,
    I'd suggest leaving out the emojis.
[14:42] ---
    Great. It's a young
    man's right to struggle.
[14:46] ---
    The others struggled very hard
    to find their answers, it would seem.
[14:54] ---
    What's this? You taking five?
[14:57] ---
    So much for my plan to spy on you.
[15:00] ---
    Get outta here. You're annoying.
[15:02] ---
    You're a very bold spy.
[15:05] ---
    How's it going on your end?
    Is the songwriting going well?
[15:10] ---
    It sure is.
[15:12] ---
    Glad to hear it.
[15:14] ---
    Hirata probably told you
    your songs were garbage again.
[15:17] ---
    No, he didn't! Well, not in those words.
[15:21] ---
    These two keep telling me
    what I'm doing is garbage, too.
[15:26] ---
    Want some?
[15:27] ---
    Oh, sure.
[15:29] ---
    Why do you think what he's doing is garbage?
[15:33] ---
    We didn't say it was garbage at all.
[15:37] ---
    I mean, for Shinji-kun, it's pretty rock.
[15:40] ---
    Why, thank you, I'm sure.
[15:42] ---
    But... thanks.
[15:46] ---
    You're working real hard, Shinji-kun!
[15:48] ---
    We're busy people, you know,
[15:51] ---
    but the prince got on his knees and begged.
[15:53] ---
    Huh? When did I do that, Rage-kun?
[15:56] ---
    Sorry, I forgot it was hush-hush.
[15:57] ---
    W-W-Wait a sec!
[15:58] ---
    Come on, guys, break time's over. Let's go.
[16:05] ---
    It isn't easy, but let's both
    finish what we started, okay?
[16:08] ---
    Okay!
[16:08] ---
    Bye.
[16:14] ---
    Huh?
[16:24] ---
    Let's go, Cross Bone!
[16:29] [SONG]
    When are you going to stop running away?
[16:34] [SONG]
    Are you betray even yourself?
[16:56] ---
    Here's those tickets you wanted.
[16:59] ---
    Two?
[17:00] ---
    I had one extra.
    Do what you want with it.
[17:14] ---
    Boys are a pain, aren't they?
[19:13] ---
    Yes... He seemed well. Very well.
[19:18] ---
    I see. I'm glad.
[19:20] ---
    Oh, I bought his CD.
[19:23] ---
    I wanted you to hear it.
[21:10] ---
    Thanks for watching ARP Backstage Pass,
[21:13] ---
    and good evening!
[21:14] ---
    This episode was about Shinji-kun's dog,
    Mimi-chan, and his little sister, Mari-chan.
[21:21] ---
    León-kun, what were you watching?
[21:22] ---
    He's right. It was basically
    about the two of them.
[21:26] ---
    But what the hell was up with that?
[21:28] ---
    With what?
[21:29] ---
    It was Shinji featuring Cross Bone, right?
[21:31] ---
    So it should've been about Cross Bone.
[21:34] ---
    Good point.
[21:34] ---
    I don't really think anybody gives a damn.
[21:37] ---
    Really?
[21:38] ---
    And I was making a self-produced song, right?
[21:41] ---
    Nobody gives a damn about that, either.
[21:43] ---
    Hey, Shinji, what do you think?
[21:45] ---
    Don't blame me. I didn't write the script.
[21:48] ---
    So now you're blaming the writers?
[21:51] ---
    It's all Endo's fault, is that it?
[21:53] ---
    Endo... Endo's the director!
[21:55] ---
    You probably think he's a moron.
[21:57] ---
    I do not!
[21:57] ---
    And call him Director Endo, will you?
[21:59] ---
    It's not his fault, either, but...
[22:02] ---
    Anyway, we don't have a lot of time.
    So let's look back at the episode.
[22:06] ---
    Shinji-kun's legendary battle
    with instant ramen.
[22:11] ---
    Yeah, that was the best part.
[22:14] ---
    It was?
[22:15] ---
    There was even more, actually.
[22:17] ---
    Like when he showed up
    at the stadium in a stretch limo.
[22:20] ---
    Yeah, what was that, man?
[22:22] ---
    He gets out and says:
    "Peasants, kneel before me!"
[22:26] ---
    Okay, yeah. that one I did. Sorry.
[22:29] ---
    And the part where
    Shinji-kun cried and begged.
[22:35] ---
    On his knees. In his underwear.
[22:36] ---
    Wait, no... I definitely wasn't crying.
[22:40] ---
    Underwear?
[22:40] ---
    No.
[22:41] ---
    Don't you sometimes wear
    nothing but underwear?
[22:44] ---
    No, I wasn't... Well... I mean, sure.
[22:47] ---
    You were?
[22:48] ---
    It's not that big a deal.
[22:51] ---
    Anyway, let's just move on.
[22:53] ---
    You're always going around in underwear.
[22:55] ---
    Wait, guys. We haven't talked
    about the story at all.
[22:58] ---
    Shinji's got it rough, I guess.
[23:00] ---
    Work hard.
[23:01] ---
    Yes, okay...
[23:03] ---
    Time for the next episode preview!
[23:06] ---
    To all of my fans out there
    who were sad I wasn't in this episode:
[23:10] ---
    It's time!
[23:12] ---
    Next time, it's León ft. León
    in León's all-night dance special,
[23:17] ---
    and all-night singing spesh, uh... special!
[23:19] ---
    You screwed it up.
[23:20] ---
    I'll try again!
[23:21] ---
    Next time, it's León ft. León...
[23:23] ---
    You're doing it over?
[23:25] ---
    León's all-night dance...
[23:27] ---
    Wait, I got lost.
[23:28] ---
    Nobody cares, just give it up.
[23:31] ---
    It's fine! We got it!
[23:32] ---
    Uh, anyway, it's the all-León
    episode! Look forward to it!
[23:36] ---
    So I get the week off next week? Cool.
[23:38] ---
    You can't say that.
