**[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.
