**[01:36] ---**
You want me to tell you about Super Rare?
**[01:39] ---**
I see.
**[01:41] ---**
There's a whole lot I could
tell you about them,
**[01:45] ---**
but droning on and on suits no one,
so I'll give you the short version.
**[01:51] ---**
The concept was to pair up
two extremely talented individuals...
**[01:55] ---**
...but I was actually thinking,
"Well, that's no good."
**[01:59] ---**
So to cut a long story short,
I guess that was their answer.
**[02:03] ---**
Did you want to know more?
**[02:07] ---**
* Shinji Kanou-kun and Rage Hida-kun,*
* please report to the Director's Office.*

**[02:09] ---**
Your
**[02:09] ---**
Mind
**[02:30] ---**
I want you to do something with
Super Rare that nobody's ever done before.
**[02:36] ---**
These clothes, for instance.
**[02:44] ---**
This is, uh...
**[02:46] ---**
I mean, the stomach...
**[02:49] ---**
It's certainly interesting, though.
**[02:51] ---**
I could uncover a new side of myself.
**[02:53] ---**
Not a chance in hell.
**[02:55] ---**
Is it a little *too* daring?
**[02:57] ---**
But if you can't accept
showing a little skin...
**[03:01] ---**
Why's Shinji #01 and I'm #02?
**[03:05] ---**
Rage is always the top dog.
**[03:06] ---**
Oh, that? That's the bit you don't like?
**[03:10] ---**
Okay, then. Rage can have the #01, and Shinji—
**[03:13] ---**
No, that would look strange.
**[03:17] ---**
I think, in terms of our brand,
I need to have the #01.
**[03:20] ---**
Ah, you want to keep it?
**[03:22] ---**
Huh? Are you stupid? I'm numero uno...
**[03:25] ---**
Sheesh... These two working together, huh?
**[03:29] ---**
Yes. These rules were your idea.
**[03:32] ---**
They were, weren't they?
**[03:36] ---**
I heard Super Rare's song.
**[03:38] ---**
"Read Your Mind," right? It's sweet.
**[03:41] ---**
I guess.
**[03:43] ---**
You're doing synchronized
dancing with Shinji, right?
**[03:47] ---**
Yeah. Beardy mentioned something
about that, but who cares?
**[03:53] ---**
For now, teach me how to dance,
Daiya. Don't teach him.
**[04:02] ---**
The choreography for this
new song, "Read Your Mind,"
**[04:04] ---**
requires your movements to be in sync.
**[04:07] ---**
Which means I'll be the one
teaching this stuff to you and Rage.
**[04:13] ---**
But I already asked
León-kun to partner with me.
**[04:17] ---**
It only works if you
two do it together.
**[04:20] ---**
What he said.
**[04:21] ---**
Right, let's do this.
**[04:55] ---**
Okay, one more time.
**[05:05] ---**
What the hell?
**[05:07] ---**
Are they doing that deliberately?
**[05:09] ---**
Are they gonna have this
routine ready by the concert?
**[05:16] ---**
Hey, they did *that* in sync.
**[05:20] ---**
Shinji, you need to be
more direct. More powerful.
**[05:24] ---**
It's like... you think this
is ballet or something.
**[05:29] ---**
Shinji can just do ballet behind me, then.
**[05:33] ---**
Right?
**[05:34] ---**
Rage-kun, maybe you should learn
the moves before criticizing others.
**[05:39] ---**
I will. After you change into your tights.
**[05:44] ---**
Take what I say seriously.
**[05:46] ---**
I *am* being serious.
**[05:47] ---**
Is this really the time to be fighting?
**[05:49] ---**
You need to get it together or you'll bomb.
**[06:15] ---**
Rage-kun, you read the paper?
**[06:18] ---**
Who doesn't?
**[06:21] ---**
I get my news online.
**[06:23] ---**
A paper tells you what
the experts are saying.
**[06:29] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[06:30] ---**
Can you really sing this
song if you're like that?
**[06:33] ---**
The theme is: "the era we live in."
**[06:35] ---**
I know about generation
gaps and stuff like that.
**[06:41] ---**
Just knowing isn't good enough.
**[06:43] ---**
You need understanding and sympathy.
**[06:50] ---**
What paper is that?
**[06:52] ---**
Why?
**[06:54] ---**
I figure I might read it, too.
**[06:57] ---**
Gonna study, huh?
**[06:59] ---**
You get an A, Shinji.
**[07:04] ---**
You know, I really respect you, Daiya.
**[07:07] ---**
Where'd that come from? Why?
**[07:10] ---**
Is Rage-kun always like that?
**[07:14] ---**
It's like he only thinks about himself.
**[07:18] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:20] ---**
But Rage is Rage. He believes
in doing things his own way.
**[07:28] ---**
Y'know, it really gets on my nerves.
**[07:31] ---**
It gets on your nerves, huh?
**[07:33] ---**
A while back, he stepped on my foot,
then told me I was in his way.
**[07:38] ---**
Well... That's normal for him.
**[07:46] ---**
I see.
**[07:47] ---**
Rage is #00 and Shinji is #01.
**[07:50] ---**
Well, it was inevitable.
**[07:53] ---**
Huh? Why does he get a shirt?
**[07:58] ---**
Somebody said I'd look better in a shirt.
**[08:03] ---**
Well, my body is a work of art.
**[08:06] ---**
I guess yours isn't.
**[08:10] ---**
Hey, it's okay to wear
a necktie without a shirt, right?
**[08:15] ---**
Yeah. If it's you, I think it'll look fine.
**[08:21] ---**
Why's he always so arrogant?
**[08:24] ---**
Who does he think he is?
**[08:27] ---**
A prince, huh?
**[08:29] ---**
Well, he *is* a prince, right? Prince Shinji.
**[08:31] ---**
And he's a year older than us.
**[08:34] ---**
What the hell?
**[08:35] ---**
Does that give him the right to
look down on Rage the Magnificent?
**[08:38] ---**
Well?
**[08:43] ---**
I'm so happy!
**[08:45] ---**
Yes! This Japanese lunch is delicious!
**[08:49] ---**
Ginger pork!
**[08:51] ---**
Kanou-kun.
**[08:53] ---**
You look seriously stressed.
**[08:56] ---**
Your new duo not working out?
**[08:59] ---**
Ugh, I just don't know what he's thinking.
**[09:03] ---**
If he doesn't want to work with me,
we'll never be able to dance in sync.
**[09:07] ---**
And anyway, Rage-kun is kind of...
**[09:09] ---**
Kanou-kun!
**[09:11] ---**
This seat's free, yeah?
**[09:19] ---**
Sure, go for it.
**[09:28] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[09:29] ---**
It's okay, really. It's fine.
**[09:35] ---**
Why are you incapable
of thinking of others?
**[09:39] ---**
He said it was okay.
**[09:42] ---**
That's not what I meant!
**[09:44] ---**
I'm saying your inability
to think about other people
**[09:47] ---**
might explain why your dancing stinks.
**[09:53] ---**
I might be imagining it, but...
**[09:56] ---**
Are you picking a fight with me?
**[09:59] ---**
Don't go changing the subject.
**[10:01] ---**
Um... I'm fine! Really!
**[10:07] ---**
You're a funny guy.
**[10:09] ---**
Come on, then.
**[10:10] ---**
I don't want to fight.
**[10:13] ---**
You *can't* fight, you mean.
**[10:15] ---**
Come on. Take a swing.
**[10:17] ---**
Think of it as a new challenge
to try your hand at.
**[10:20] ---**
Come on, bro.
**[10:26] ---**
What's wrong?
**[10:28] ---**
Knock it off!
**[10:39] ---**
Awesome. Get him!
**[10:41] ---**
No! Daiya-san, stop him!
**[10:46] ---**
Don't screw with me.
**[10:50] ---**
Rage-kun, you don't play fair!
**[10:52] ---**
You always try to change the subject!
**[10:55] ---**
Take this seriously, will you?!
**[10:58] ---**
Shut your idiot mouth!
**[11:04] ---**
Okay, that's enough.
**[11:14] ---**
ARP.
**[11:19] ---**
ARP.
**[11:26] ---**
You two need to make up already.
**[11:30] ---**
You and Shinji-kun, I mean.
**[11:31] ---**
Super Rare will crash and burn otherwise.
**[11:35] ---**
That's not your problem.
**[11:36] ---**
It so is!
**[11:38] ---**
I'm looking forward to seeing the
two of you perform as Super Rare.
**[11:44] ---**
But there are also lots of people
who want to hear your song.
**[11:50] ---**
Here.
**[11:57] ---**
That was awful.
**[11:59] ---**
I've never been so embarrassed.
**[12:02] ---**
Why? It was awesome.
**[12:04] ---**
Don't joke around.
**[12:05] ---**
I'm being serious.
**[12:06] ---**
I liked it when you snapped at Rage.
**[12:11] ---**
You're always so above it all.
**[12:17] ---**
I'm an idiot, so this probably
won't come out right,
**[12:20] ---**
but why don't you just look him in the
eye and tell him how you really feel?
**[12:25] ---**
Tell each other, I mean.
**[12:28] ---**
But I don't think Rage-kun and
I can get along anymore.
**[12:40] ---**
I heard what happened in the cafeteria.
**[12:42] ---**
What's going on with you two?
**[12:49] ---**
I see. Say no more.
**[12:52] ---**
We'll disband Super Rare.
**[12:56] ---**
The results of the battles meant you two
got paired together. And it didn't work out.
**[13:00] ---**
Or maybe this new concept
was just too difficult
**[13:04] ---**
for two people who are chalk and cheese, hm?
**[13:08] ---**
Shinji-kun, you need to stay a prince.
**[13:13] ---**
You're a model student.
Don't try and change your character.
**[13:18] ---**
Shinji's a model student? Who decided that?
**[13:22] ---**
Model students don't start fights.
**[13:25] ---**
Don't force him to be the
"character" you want him to be.
**[13:33] ---**
Rage-kun, what about you?
Forget him for a moment.
**[13:37] ---**
You've got less experience
than the others as a dancer.
**[13:40] ---**
That's a pretty major skill you're lacking.
**[13:43] ---**
But you still skip dance practice.
**[13:45] ---**
And that selfish attitude of yours
is why you keep failing, right?
**[13:49] ---**
Right, Shinji-kun?
**[13:51] ---**
Failing?
**[13:54] ---**
I'm afraid, Director, that Rage-kun is Rage-kun
and he has his own way of doing things.
**[14:00] ---**
He has an inspiration that we cannot match...
**[14:03] ---**
A charisma we lack.
**[14:05] ---**
There's no point in trying to define him
by the amount of time he practices.
**[14:09] ---**
There's still time.
**[14:11] ---**
Please don't call off our performance.
**[14:19] ---**
Oh, to be young again...
**[14:21] ---**
But I'm afraid it's hopeless.
**[14:24] ---**
Let's call it off.
**[14:26] ---**
Do your regular acts.
**[14:28] ---**
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
**[14:29] ---**
You're good at figuring things out.
**[14:31] ---**
It's what your generation does best, right?
**[14:35] ---**
What the hell?
**[14:36] ---**
I admit this hasn't gone well.
**[14:39] ---**
But saying it's because we're young or because
we're of a certain generation is upsetting.
**[14:45] ---**
But it's the truth.
**[14:46] ---**
True or not...
**[14:48] ---**
We can do this.
**[14:50] ---**
We'll make Super Rare a success.
**[14:53] ---**
Well, you're saying all the right things, but...
**[14:57] ---**
I'll show you whether we're all talk
or not when we get up on stage.
**[15:02] ---**
I'll put my pride as a performer on the line.
**[15:06] ---**
Your "pride," huh?
**[15:07] ---**
Hey! You're insulting our performances now?
**[15:11] ---**
We've had our problems,
but we've overcome them!
**[15:14] ---**
Because it's the four of us!
**[15:18] ---**
So we'll make it a success from now on!
**[15:22] ---**
That's the deal. Got it, you old fart?
**[15:25] ---**
Calling him an "old fart" is rude, Rage-kun.
**[15:27] ---**
Just call him "old man."
**[15:30] ---**
That's just as bad.
**[15:33] ---**
Anyway!
**[15:34] ---**
Just shut up and wait for the concert.
**[15:37] ---**
We'll make it the ultimate performance.
**[15:42] ---**
Don't mess with us!
**[15:51] ---**
How'd it go?
**[15:53] ---**
We're doing this.
**[15:56] ---**
Awesome!
**[15:58] ---**
You riled them up deliberately, didn't you?
**[16:00] ---**
D'you think they hate me now?
**[16:03] ---**
And you're from the
"take-it-easy" generation, right?
**[16:06] ---**
Please refrain from talking, sir.
**[16:14] ---**
Rage, move your legs!
**[16:16] ---**
Shinji, your arms!
**[16:19] ---**
You're focusing too much on the
moves and not on your power!
**[16:21] ---**
Think of me as the director!
**[16:23] ---**
Get madder!
**[16:28] ---**
So cool!
**[16:29] ---**
One more time!
**[16:31] ---**
Nice!
**[16:48] ---**
Nice.
**[16:50] ---**
You were perfectly in sync!
**[17:02] ---**
But you can't do that?
**[17:05] ---**
You should've tried to match me.
**[17:08] ---**
No, you match me.
**[17:09] ---**
It's both of you!
**[17:10] ---**
Hey, let's take a photo
to celebrate your success!
**[17:14] ---**
Seriously?
***SIGN*** Read Your Mind
**[19:21] ---**
That was Super Rare.
**[19:25] ---**
Yup. It was Super Rare, all right.
**[21:10] ---**
Thanks for watching *ARP Backstage
Pass* everybody, and good evening!
**[21:14] ---**
Hi!
**[21:16] ---**
Okay, so...
**[21:19] ---**
That was Super Rare...
**[21:22] ---**
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
**[21:24] ---**
I haven't got a clue.
**[21:26] ---**
Come on, guys, cut him some slack.
**[21:28] ---**
After all, he got his ass kicked
by Rage on national television.
**[21:33] ---**
No, that's not what happened at all.
**[21:36] ---**
It was a tie, I think.
**[21:38] ---**
Yeah, but, Shinji-kun,
your shirt was a total mess.
**[21:43] ---**
The whole cafeteria was staring.
**[21:45] ---**
Daiya-san, you were just
kinda standing there, sighing.
**[21:49] ---**
We can laugh about it now,
**[21:51] ---**
but at the time, I was like,
"What will become of ARP?"
**[21:55] ---**
Yes. I honestly feel really bad about that.
**[21:59] ---**
I'm sorry you had to see that.
**[22:01] ---**
But you know, I think it was necessary.
**[22:05] ---**
Until that moment, these two didn't really
look at each other when they talked.
**[22:09] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[22:11] ---**
Like when they were backstage.
**[22:13] ---**
Hm, you might be right there.
**[22:16] ---**
But of course, violence is wrong!
**[22:19] ---**
That's right. Violence is scary.
You should never resort to it.
**[22:24] ---**
But you were trying to get a reaction—
**[22:26] ---**
Stop it, you two.
**[22:28] ---**
So, um... Super Rare!
**[22:31] ---**
Changing the subject, huh?
**[22:32] ---**
Go with it.
**[22:33] ---**
The dancing.
**[22:34] ---**
We helped you out with the moves, right?
**[22:37] ---**
And that kinda got ignored.
**[22:39] ---**
Yeah, man. We helped you guys out a lot!
**[22:43] ---**
Yeah, Shinji's really—
**[22:44] ---**
Both of us.
**[22:46] ---**
It was both of us.
**[22:49] ---**
It was kinda fun, though!
**[22:51] ---**
Right now, we do a lot
of things as a four-man unit,
**[22:54] ---**
but we didn't do that back then.
**[22:57] ---**
It was all really new, right?
**[22:59] ---**
Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
**[23:01] ---**
But León and I learned the moves first—
**[23:04] ---**
Okay, okay, okay. Guys, nobody cares.
**[23:08] ---**
Why don't you tell us what
you thought about the episode?
**[23:10] ---**
Come on.
**[23:13] ---**
I didn't think anything.
**[23:14] ---**
You didn't?
**[23:16] ---**
Well, I guess you both worked hard?
**[23:18] ---**
That's not good enough.
**[23:20] ---**
Next episode preview time!
**[23:21] ---**
That's too sudden.
**[23:22] ---**
Our story's reaching its climax.
**[23:26] ---**
What will happen to ARP?
**[23:27] ---**
Nothing whatsoever.
**[23:29] ---**
Who could believe what happened to Shinji?
**[23:33] ---**
Did something happen?
**[23:36] ---**
Nothing happens.
