[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.

    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.
