[00:22] [Messenger] SIGN     It sounded like they were planning a year-end concert on the radio, so we can certainly hope they do! [00:22] [Messenger] SIGN     I want to count down to New Year's with B-Pro! [00:26] HARUHI     Our fans are really excited     about our Dome concert. SIGN    Keep checking for details! ^^ Details soon please! I was so excited, I already reserved my train ticket! Details soon please! Details soon please! We're excited! Details soon please! And they have more members this year! They haven't made an announcement yet, right? SIGN    We're waiting! Details soon please! Details soon please! Details soon please! I want to count down to New Year's with B-Pro! [00:30] ASHU     Really? I'm so glad. [00:32] SEKIMURA     Their anticipation is extra motivating. [00:36] KITAKADO     Indeed. [00:37] KANESHIRO     We have more members this time. [00:40] KANESHIRO     It's only natural that this performance     will be bigger than our last one. [00:43] FUDO     Yeah, you're right. [00:45] YUZUKI     I'm already nervous. [00:47] HARUHI     The Dome's big, right? [00:49] SHINGARI     Of course it is. It seats fifty thousand people. [00:52] HARUHI     Fifty thousand? [00:53] FUDO     We're performing at the Dome.     I can hardly believe it. [00:57] OSARI     I know exactly how you feel. [01:00] OSARI     I was really nervous last year. [01:03] YUZUKI     Really? [01:04] OSARI     Yeah. Well, after everything that happened,     I didn't have time to be nervous anymore. [01:12] AIZOME     I'm glad you're able to laugh about it. [01:16] MASUNAGA     This time, Nekomi-san and Culture Zone     will be handling the stage production, right? [01:22] KOREKUNI     Yeah. I can't believe the buzzworthy     Culture Zone is handling our stage production. [01:26] KOREKUNI     Nice job, Tsubasa. [01:28] OSARI     Culture Zone? [01:30] ASHU     Is that a famous person? [01:32] KOREKUNI     They're a team. [01:33] ONZAI     Yeah. They're a stage production team     that uses cutting-edge technology. [01:38] SEKIMURA     Depending on their stage production, [01:40] SEKIMURA     this concert could be even more     difficult than last year's. [01:43] KOREKUNI     You're getting ahead of yourself. [01:45] ONZAI     Mika, our year-end concert comes first. [01:49] SEKIMURA     Tee hee. [01:51] KITAKADO     But looking towards the future     as you move forward is important. [01:54] KITAKADO     Maybe it's not a problem. [01:56] KAENSHIRO     Yeah. Let's give it our all. [01:58] ALL     Yeah. [03:54] TSUBASA     This is Culture Zone, who will be handling     the stage production for the concert. [03:59] TSUBASA     They utilize currently popular     digital art techniques. [04:02] INUI     I'm the chief director, Inui. [04:04] INUI     Let's work together to create     the best possible performance. [04:08] KITAKADO     We look forward to working with you. [04:09] INUI     So do we. [04:10] ALL     Thank you. [04:11] ALL     Thank you. [04:19] INUI     A digital art production uses cutting-edge     technology to expand reality [04:24] INUI     and provide a special visual experience. [04:34] INUI     This time, we'll be creating     a production that will rouse emotions [04:38] INUI     among the strongest     this country has ever seen. [04:42] ASHU     Gochin, what are emotions? [04:44] KANESHIRO     Like feelings or sentiments. [04:47] ASHU     Really? Sounds cool. [04:53] INUI     We consider it a great honor     to be able to work on this project. [04:59] INUI     Let's work together to deliver     the greatest possible emotions [05:02] INUI     to all fifty thousand audience members. [05:04] ALL     Yeah. [05:06] ASHU     Let's make it a success. [05:08] ALL     Yeah. [05:09] TSUBASA     Yeah. [05:14] TSUBASA     We need to be on set for the year-end     special Naughty Island at 11:00 AM.

[05:52] OSARI     I want our fans to see     the finished product soon. [05:54] OSARI     I wish we could do the concert right now. [05:57] NOME     We need to learn our choreography first. [05:59] OSARI     Yikes. [06:01] TSUBASA     Good work, everyone. [06:03] TSUBASA     Aren't digital arts amazing? [06:05] ASHU     Yeah. There's so much to look at. [06:07] SEKIMURA     It's very interesting to see     what kinds of tricks they're using. [06:11] ONZAI     Yeah. It really expands the range     of stage production you can do. [06:16] TSUBASA     This is our last job for the day. [06:18] FUDO     Got it. [06:19] MASUNAGA     I'm grateful we were invited     as guests on a primetime special. [06:24] KITAKADO     Will announcing our Japan Dome     concert be the number one topic? [06:27] TSUBASA     Yes. This will be the first time you'll be     making an announcement, so make it good. [06:35] KITAKADO     Okay. You can count on us. [06:41] CELEB     Today's guests are these members     of the hugely popular group B-Project. [06:50] ALL     Thank you for having us. [06:52] CELEB     Listen to that applause. [06:55] CELEB     The girls must love you. [06:56] MASUNAGA     Not really. [06:58] CELEB     Now that's a lie. [07:00] CELEB     Kaneshiro-kun, can't you play the guitar? [07:02] CELEB     I bet the girls can't leave you alone. [07:04] KANESHIRO     I'm not really interested     in that kind of thing. [07:08] CELEB     There isn't a man alive who isn't. [07:10] CELEB     We'll be having an in-depth     conversation today. [07:14] KITAKADO     Of course. We look forward to it. [07:17] CELEB     I heard there's something     you've gotten into lately. [07:19] KITAKADO     Yes. I'm into hot pot. [07:22] CELEB     Sound nice since it's been getting colder. [07:25] CELEB     Do you guys ever eat together? [07:28] MASUNAGA     Well, we eat together     after our dance lessons. [07:33] KANESHIRO     With fourteen guys, everyone's     preferences are different. It's a disaster. [07:37] CELEB     KiLLER KiNG did join this year. [07:40] CELEB     Have you gotten used to being part of B-Pro? [07:43] FUDO     Yes. There's a lot of good tension. [07:45] FUDO     It's a very fulfilling experience. [07:47] FUDO     I really feel like, every day, we get     closer to becoming one B-Project. [07:54] CELEB     We're already at the end of the show. [07:59] CELEB     I heard you have an announcement to make. [08:02] KITAKADO     We do. [08:04] MASUNAGA     At the end of this year, B-Project will     be performing a concert at the Japan Dome.

[08:47] CELEB     With the addition of KiLLER KiNG, [08:49] [Messenger] SIGN     New Year's Eve? Isn't that the same day as Highedge's concert? [08:49] CELEB     I'm excited to see the fourteen-man, powered-up     B-Project's Japan Dome countdown concert. [08:51] [Messenger] SIGN     Two concerts on the same day at the same location? SIGN    It's really the same day? Which is true? Seriously? No way! What's with that timing? Is it a collaboration? [09:01] FUDO     What? [09:01] CELEB     A New Year's Eve concert, huh? Time flies. [09:02] KANESHIRO     What does this mean? [09:05] CELEB     The year's ending already? [09:07] CELEB     Are tickets already on sale? [09:08] TSUBASA     Highedge? [09:12] KITAKADO     Details will be available     on the official website. [09:16] CELEB     Make sure you check it out, everyone. [09:19] CELEB     Today's guests have been B-Project's     Kitakado Tomohisa-san, [09:23] CELEB     Masunaga Kazuna-san, Kaneshiro     Goshi-san, and Fudo Akane-san. [09:29] ALL     Thank you. [09:32] KANESHIRO     Hey, what's going on with those comments? [09:35] FUDO     It says we're performing in the     same place as Highedge's talent. [09:38] MASUNAGA     Highedge? [09:40] TSUBASA     Could it be? [09:41] YASHAMARU     It'd be easy for me to crush you. [09:47] KITAKADO     We should start by confirming the truth. [09:52] TSUBASA     Konno-san, hello. It's Sumisora. [09:55] KONONO     Just before B-Pro appeared on their program, [09:58] KONONO     Highedge announced they'd be performing     a year-end concert at the Dome. [10:02] TSUBASA     What? But it's not possible for them     to perform at the Japan Dome on the [10:07] TSUBASA     same day as B-Pro, is it? [10:08] KONNO     The only thing I can imagine     is the Dome's been double-booked. [10:11] TSUBASA     Double-booked? [10:13] KONNO     Damn. It hurts that they were able     to make their announcement first. [10:17] KONNO     A company called East Start got     the Japan Dome for B-Pro's concert, [10:20] KONNO     and we're asking them about it right now. [10:25] KONNO     We're confirming the situation     with Highedge, too. [10:29] TSUBASA     By the way, who was handling that? [10:35] KONNO     It was Yashamaru-san. [10:37] KONNO     They signed a contract     with Yashamaru-san a year ago. [10:41] YASHAMARU     You expect me to believe that? [10:45] TSUBASA     No... [10:46] KONNO     In any case, all we can do     is confirm what's happening [10:48] KONNO     and figure out how we're handling it. [10:51] KONNO     Can you come back to the office immediately? [10:53] TSUBASA     Yes. [10:57] MASUNAGA     In other words, won't it be difficult for us      to actually perform at the Japan Dome? [11:05] TSUBASA     It hasn't been officially decided yet. [11:08] SEKIMURA     But it's likely, right? [11:11] OSARI     Tsubasa-chan just said     it hasn't been decided. [11:15] KOREKUNI     Was it Saku-chan? [11:18] TSUBASA     I don't know. [11:21] TSUBASA     Right now, we're contacting everyone     involved to confirm the situation. [11:26] TSUBASA     We'll sort through all the information,     and then decide how we'll proceed. [11:33] TSUBASA     I'm sorry. [11:35] KITAKADO     Tsubasa. [11:37] KITAKADO     We don't have any accurate information     right now, and nothing's been decided. [11:42] KITAKADO     Let's think of what we'll do     after we've confirmed the facts. [11:47] TSUBASA     Kitakado-san. [11:48] AIZOME     Hold on, Tomo. [11:50] AIZOME     Don't try to steal a march on us by     taking advantage of her weakened state. [11:54] AIZOME     Tsubasa, if things get too tough,     don't hesitate to join me. [11:58] AIZOME     You can cry on my shoulder anytime. [12:00] HARUHI     Aizome-san, that's what you call     stealing a march on someone. [12:10] KANESHIRO     Have you been able to confirm the truth? [12:13] TSUBASA     Yes. [12:14] ASHU     How did it go? [12:16] TSUBASA     The Dome concert...

[14:58] MARUYAMA     We've been calling for two weeks, [15:02] MARUYAMA     but trying to find a concert venue     at this time of year is hopeless. [15:08] TSUBASA     But we can't give up.

[15:19] MASUNAGA     Hello. [15:20] AIZOME     We're here for the concert meeting. [15:21] TSUBASA     Yes, I see. Is there anything     you can do about that? [15:23] GANDARA     The meeting room for that's been changed. [15:26] GANDARA     It's in the room next door. [15:27] HARUHI     That's a lot of people. [15:29] OSARI     Yeah.

It has 1/20th     the capacity of the Japan Dome. [15:56] INUI     Hold on, Sumisora-san. [15:58] INUI     It's too small a venue to use the     stage production we've been planning. [16:02] TSUBASA     I'm sorry. Could we talk about that later? [16:05] INUI     But— [16:05] MARUYAMA     Please. Securing a venue     is our first priority right now.

[16:25] TSUBASA     But the calendar on the official     website is empty, isn't it? [16:30] TSUBASA     Is it because it hasn't been confirmed yet? [16:33] JDC     You're awfully persistent.

Suzuki-san, how are you? [17:49] YASHAMARU     Oh, you never change. [17:52] YASHAMARU     Neither do I, of course. [17:54] YASHAMARU     By the way, I have a sudden request for you. SIGN    B-PROJECT Countdown Concert Venue Status [17:57] YASHAMARU     It's about the year-end event at JDC Hall. [18:02] YASHAMARU     Thanks. You're a lifesaver, Suzuki-san. [18:06] YASHAMARU     Please do. [18:09] YASHAMARU     We got JDC Hall on the 31st. [18:13] TSUBASA     What? Yashamaru-san, why? [18:15] YASHAMARU     Let's worry about the details later. [18:18] YASHAMARU     We have things to take care of first. [18:20] YASHAMARU     Konno-kun, call the production team     and tell them we've found a venue. [18:24] KONNO     What? [18:25] YASHAMARU     Maruyama-kun, call the     art and video teams and [18:29] YASHAMARU     schedule them, starting the day     before on the 30th. [18:32] MARUYAMA     What? [18:32] YASHAMARU     Quickly. Good teams will get     snapped up before you know it. [18:37] BOTH     G-Got it. [18:38] YASHAMARU     Call Spancool. Have them redo     the estimate for the special effects. [18:38] SEKMIURA     What is Yashamaru-san doing? [18:42] YASHAMARU     Sasaki-san is in charge. [18:44] ONZAI     Maybe he's not involved this time. [18:53] INUI     Either way, JDC Hall is too small     for the stage production we planned. [18:58] INUI     I'm sorry, but we'll be backing out. [19:02] TSUBASA     What? But... [19:03] INUI     Excuse me. [19:05] TSUBASA     Inui-san. [19:09] ASHU     Wh-What should we do? [19:11] SEKIMURA     Without a production team,     we'll be starting all over from scratch. [19:18] NOME     Which means we can't use     the images they were working on. [19:21] ONZAI     You're right. Those images are meaningless     without all the right equipment. [19:27] AIZOME     We'll have to redo the choreography, too. [19:29] OSARI     What? [19:30] SHINGARI     We synchronized our moves with the images. [19:33] OSARI     No way. [19:35] TSUBASA     I'm sorry, everyone. [19:36] YASHAMARU     Well, well. Just look at you. [19:48] YASHAMARU     You seem to be getting the wrong idea. [19:52] YASHAMARU     Who promised you that you'd     be performing at the Japan Dome? [19:56] YASHAMARU     Haven't you forgotten     how fortunate you are to have [20:01] YASHAMARU     a venue to perform in and fans to watch you? [20:09] YASHAMARU     Does diminishing the size of your     venue diminish your value, too? [20:19] YASHAMARU     What's the foundation of being an idol? [20:22] YASHAMARU     I know it's the first thing I taught you. [20:27] ASHU     The fans... [20:28] YASHAMARU     Yes, it's making your fans     happy, all across the nation. [20:33] YASHAMARU     No, it's putting a smile on the     face of every fan in the world. [20:37] YASHAMARU     It doesn't matter if it's     state-of-the-art or not. [20:41] YASHAMARU     There's nothing more important     than pouring your hearts into [20:44] YASHAMARU     every performance and facing     them with sincerity. [20:49] KITAKADO     Yashamaru-san. [20:50] KANESHIRO     Yashamaru-san. [20:56] OSARI     Somewhere along the way,     we've forgotten what's important. [21:00] SEKIMURA     You're right. The venue, the production... [21:03] SEKIMURA     Maybe we were paying too much attention     to how we looked from the outside. [21:10] ONZAI     We can't take our current     circumstances for granted. [21:12] AIZOME     Well, it seems like Goshi was never     a fan of that kind of production. [21:19] HARUHI     Tsubasa, I'm sorry. [21:21] HARUHI     And thanks for doing     your best to find us a venue. [21:24] TSUBASA     Don't thank me. [21:25] TSUBASA     I'm really sorry you couldn't     perform at the Japan Dome. [21:27] NOME     It's fine. [21:29] NOME     At the very least, it's not your fault. [21:32] MASUNAGA     Yeah. We have a venue     for our year-end concert. [21:35] KITAKADO     Let's get ready for our countdown concert. [21:39] KOREKUNI     Thanks, Tsubasa. [21:43] ASHU     All right! Let's pour so much     emotion into our concert [21:47] ASHU     that it blows the Japan     Dome out of the water! [21:50] AIZOME     You always like to use new words. [21:54] TSUBASA     Thank you, everyone. I'll do my best, too. [21:59] YUZUKI     Huh? Yashamaru-san? [22:03] ALL     What? Yashamaru-san? [23:55] AIZOME     Hey, why don't we sneak out together?
