    Japanese technology is incredible.
[00:13] SEKIMURA
    It took us half a century to get here.
[00:16] SEKIMURA
    As we continue to evolve, I'm excited

[00:20] ANNOUNCER
    Indeed. That's all for today's News NEO.

[00:47] SEKIMURA
    Yes?

    It's been a while, Mikado-san.

[01:07] HASEGAWA
    I'm sure there will be some difficulties.
[01:10] HASEGAWA
    We're prepared to handle
    them, so don't worry.
[01:16] SEKIMURA
    D-Did my father tell you to do this?
[01:19] HASEGAWA
    Of course. When the time came,
    you'd quit being an idol.
[01:24] HASEGAWA
    That was your agreement.
[01:27] SEKIMURA
    But... You're saying that time is now?
[01:30] HASEGAWA
    As you know, your father was made
    vice-minister for policy coordination.
[01:35] HASEGAWA
    As his son, you shouldn't
    be working as an idol.
[01:41] HASEGAWA
    You're expected to return home in a week.
[01:46] SEKIMURA

[02:40] SEKIMURA
    So this is the end.
[04:15] OSARI
    It's breakfast.
[04:17] SEKIMURA
    Good morning.
[04:20] OSARI
    It looks so good.
[04:22] OSARI
    What's the occasion?
[04:23] SEKIMURA
    I woke up a little early.
[04:30] OSARI
    It's delicious.
[04:31] NOME
    It's like a hotel breakfast.
[04:34] ALL
    Thanks.
[04:36] SEKIMURA
    No.
[04:38] SEKIMURA
    Thank you for everything.
[04:57] NOME
    Today went pretty well.
[04:59] MASUNAGA
    Yeah.
[05:00] ONZAI
    Mika, you seemed more spirited than usual.
[05:04] SEKIMURA
    You think so? I was my usual self.
[05:10] OSARI
    Hey, Pi-chan, do you know
    where the controllers are?
[05:14] OSARI
    I wanted to play some games.
[05:16] ONZAI
    Mika has them.
[05:18] OSARI
    But isn't he at school right now?
[05:26] OSARI
    Excuse the intrusion.
[05:32] OSARI
    Found them.
[05:38] OSARI
    You're acting strange. What's wrong, Pi-chan?
SIGN    Resignation Letter Sekimura Mikado
[05:48] SEKIMURA
    I'm home.
[05:54] SEKIMURA
    What's going on?
[05:55] MASUNAGA
    Mikado, what's the meaning of this?
[06:00] SEKIMURA
    That's...
[06:01] OSARI
    Sorry for entering your room
    without your permission,
[06:04] OSARI
    but we couldn't pretend we didn't know.
[06:07] SEKIMURA
    Oh, please. You could've said something.
[06:11] SEKIMURA
    This is for... just in case I need it.
[06:15] NOME
    So you're not quitting, right?
[06:21] OSARI
    What? Why aren't you responding?
[06:24] ONZAI
    You've been acting strange since yesterday.
[06:26] ONZAI
    This must be why.
[06:28] MASUNAGA
    Mikado, talk to us.
[06:36] SEKIMURA
    I was going to tell you.
[06:40] SEKIMURA
    I'm quitting MooNs.
[06:45] OSARI
    D-Don't joke about that.
[06:48] OSARI
    I mean, that's impossible. You can't fool me.
[06:52] SEKIMURA
    I'm sorry. It's not a joke.
[06:56] SEKIMURA
    It's already been decided.
[07:00] NOME
    Don't be ridiculous!
[07:01] NOME
    You can't expect us
    to accept this all of a sudden!
[07:09] MASUNAGA
    Will you tell us what happened, Mikado?
[07:13] ONZAI
    Mika.
[07:18] SEKIMURA
    I've been expected to be
    perfect since I was little.
[07:23] SEKIMURA
    My father stressed that I be a model person.
[07:33] SEKIMURA
    I was never allowed to make mistakes.
[07:42] SEKIMURA
    Desperate for my father's
    recognition, I studied like crazy.
[07:47] SEKIMURA
    I thought my home life would be
    harmonious if I were perfect enough.
[07:51] SEKIMURA
    What my father says goes
    in the Sekimura family.
[07:56] ONZAI
    I'd always heard he was strict.
[07:59] OSARI
    But that has nothing to do with this.
[08:01] SEKIMURA
    My father only allowed me to
    become an idol under one condition.
[08:06] SEKIMURA
    I have to keep my promise to him.
[08:10] MASUNAGA
    What promise?
[08:11] SEKIMURA
    That I quit being an idol now.
[08:16] SEKIMURA
    That my father would determine when I quit.
[08:20] NOME
    Why would you make that promise?
[08:22] SEKIMURA
    At the time, it was my only option.
[08:27] SEKIMURA
    I'll be going back home in five days.
[08:30] ALL
    What?
[08:31] SEKIMURA
    I'll do my job until then.
[08:34] SEKIMURA
    I'm sorry for inconveniencing
    you in this way.
[08:37] OSARI
    I don't want to hear you say that!
[08:39] OSARI
    Is this what you want?
[08:42] SEKIMURA
    Hikarun...
[08:43] OSARI
    You don't want to quit being an idol, do you?
[08:49] OSARI
    I'm sure he'll understand
    if you talk to him again.
[08:52] SEKIMURA
    He'll understand?
[08:54] SEKIMURA
    I wouldn't be saying this if he could!
[08:59] SEKIMURA
    There's nothing that can be done about this.
[09:03] OSARI
    Why are you making that face?
[09:05] OSARI
    Jeez, this is annoying.
[09:08] OSARI
    You're just running away.
[09:10] OSARI
    You're just telling yourself that it can't
    be helped, that you have to give up.
[09:15] OSARI
    You only live once.
[09:18] OSARI
    Why aren't you trying harder?
[09:21] OSARI
    Why aren't you holding on tighter?
[09:26] OSARI
    Is it that easy for you to throw us away?
[09:30] OSARI
    Was the time we spent together
[09:32] OSARI
    so worthless that a single
    piece of paper could end it?
[09:37] SEKIMURA
    Life isn't an anime.
[09:45] TSUBASA
    I brought additional documents for tomorrow.
[09:48] TSUBASA
    Sorry for dropping in so suddenly.
[09:50] MASUNAGA
    Thanks.
[10:00] ALL
    Good morning.
[10:03] NOME
    Well, I'm sure his family has a lot going on.
[10:07] OSARI
    I don't want Mikachi to quit, no matter what.
[10:13] FUDO
    What are you talking about?
[10:16] SHINGARI
    Is Sekimura-san quitting MooNs?
[10:21] HARUHI
    Don't try to hide it. Tell us.
[10:23] NOME
    It's not official yet,
    but that's what he intends to do.
[10:29] OSARI
    We're trying to convince him not to.
[10:32] OSARI
    No, we will.
[10:35] FUDO
    Hikaru...
[10:38] FUDO
    Is there anything we can do? We'll help.
[10:41] HARUHI
    Yeah. As fellow members of B-Pro,
    we can't ignore this.
[10:45] YUZUKI
    But what should we do?
[10:48] HARUHI
    Why don't we try being direct and
    remind him of the joys of being an idol?
[10:53] SHINGARI
    Maybe it would be best
    to do something simple.
[10:58] OSARI
    Guys...
[11:02] MC
    Today's guests are MooNs and KiLLER KiNG.
[11:08] MC
    Let's jump right into our customary
    request portion of the show.

    The truth is...
[11:26] HARUHI
    I have a butt fetish.
SIGN    Butt Fetish
[11:28] HARUHI
    When meeting someone for the first time,
     I check out their butt first.
[11:32] MC
    What? Then who here has the best butt?
[11:36] HARUHI
    That's a silly question.
[11:38] HARUHI
    It's obviously Yuzuki.
[11:40] HARUHI
    Nicely muscled and toned.
[11:42] HARUHI
    And no one can resist its indescribable
    springiness and softness.
[11:46] YUZUKI
    H-Hey, Haru.
[11:48] FUDO
    But you two are twins.
    Shouldn't you have similar butts?
[11:53] NOME
    Does that mean you like your own butt?
[11:56] HARUHI
    You're right.
[12:04] BOTH
    "What's in the box?"
[12:07] YUZUKI
    I'm so sca— I mean, I'm so excited.
[12:14] HARUHI
    H-He's frozen solid.
[12:17] FUDO
    This is great.
[12:24] SEKIMURA
    Yeah!
[12:24] SEKIMURA
    You can do it.

[12:38] HARUHI
    What are we doing?
[12:41] HARUHI
    We haven't conveyed the joys
    of being an idol at all.
[12:43] SEKIMURA
    I definitely felt it.
[12:45] FUDO
    Mikado.
[12:47] SEKIMURA
    Your efforts moved me.
[12:50] HARUHI
    R-Really, Mikado-kun?
[12:53] HURAHI
    Oh, that's great. It was worth the effort.
[12:56] YUZUKI
    Yeah. I'm sure everyone else enjoyed it, too.
[13:00] FUDO
    This is why I can't quit being an idol.
[13:05] SEKIMURA
    You're right. If it were possible, I wouldn't.
[13:10] FUDO
    Mikado.
[13:12] FUDO
    Are you really quitting B-Pro?
[13:16] FUDO
    Why? We're finally in B-Pro together.
[13:20] HARUHI
    Yeah. I'm sure there's
    lots more fun waiting for us.

[14:08] NOME
    These benches bring back memories.
[14:11] ONZAI
    Yeah.
[14:13] MASUNAGA
    We were so tense during our first job
[14:15] MASUNAGA
    that we screwed up and held
    a review meeting here afterwards.
[14:22] OSARI
    Yeah. Even though we were
    revealing our debut song...
[14:26] NOME
    We got the choreography and lyrics wrong.
[14:28] ONZAI
    We practiced until
    our shoes were falling apart.
[14:32] MASUNAGA
    And Tatsuhiro sewed up the holes.
[14:36] OSARI
    Yeah. We couldn't afford to buy new ones.
[14:38] NOME
    I remember that.
[14:44] ONZAI
    They should be over here.
[14:47] OSARI
    Found it.

[15:37] SEKIMURA
    I can't keep doing this forever.
[15:40] SEKIMURA
    I knew that from the beginning.
[15:42] SEKIMURA
    But being part of MooNs was
    so much fun, I'd forgotten about it.
[15:48] SEKIMURA
    I got so caught up in it,
    every day was so brilliant.
[15:54] SEKIMURA
    I love this job.
[15:55] SEKIMURA

[16:15] ALL
    Yes, sir.
[16:16] SEKIMURA
    Thank you for having us.
[16:25] TSUBASA
    I'll make some tea.
[16:28] NOME
    Are you going to tell
    Sumisora once this is over?
[16:32] SEKIMURA
    Yes, and the agency.

    It's not over yet.

    MooNs' Moonlight Talk!
[16:48] MASUNAGA
    Good evening, everyone.
    I'm Masunaga Kazuna of MooNs.
[16:53] MASUNAGA
    We have all five members
    with us again tonight.
[16:55] MASUNAGA
    We'll start by reading some letters.
[16:58] MASUNAGA
    Pen name Cowardly Rabbit writes,
    "Good evening, MooNs."
[17:03] ALL
    Good evening.
[17:05] MASUNAGA
    "I've been a huge fan
    of MooNs since you debuted."
[17:08] MASUNAGA
    "I wrote because there's a song
    I'd like you to play today."
[17:12] MASUNAGA
    "I dreamed of becoming a musical actress."
[17:17] MASUNAGA
    "To pursue that dream, I wanted
    quit school and go to Broadway,
[17:23] MASUNAGA
    but all the opposition from
    my family made me lose my confidence."
[17:28] MASUNAGA
    "They told me to face reality."
[17:31] MASUNAGA
    "I decided to graduate
    from college and find a job."
[17:37] MASUNAGA
    "To commemorate the dream I once had,
[17:40] MASUNAGA
    I'd like to listen to my favorite
    MooNs song, 'STARTIN' SHINY FANTASY.'"
[17:46] MASUNAGA
    I see.
[17:48] MASUNAGA
    What do you think, Mikado?
[17:59] SEKIMURA
    That may be the right choice.
[18:03] SEKIMURA
    I'm sure your family said that because
    they care about you more than anyone.
[18:09] SEKIMURA
    If you do as you say,
[18:11] SEKIMURA
    you may someday be glad you
    graduated from college, and maybe...
[18:17] SEKIMURA
    If enough time passes, you might
    think that dream was a delusion.
[18:23] MASUNAGA
    Mikado.
[18:25] SEKIMURA
    If enough time passes,
    if you forget everything,
[18:29] SEKIMURA
    I'm sure you'll return to your everyday life.
[18:32] SEKIMURA
    I'm sure that day will come.
[18:36] SEKIMURA
    I'm sure...
[18:40] SEKIMURA
    That day will never come.
[18:48] SEKIMURA
    It won't come!
[18:49] SEKIMURA
    So long as you're dissatisfied, your regret
[18:53] SEKIMURA
    will stay with you for the rest of your life.
[18:58] SEKIMURA
    You're like me.
[19:01] SEKIMURA
    You're struggling between
    reality and your dream.
[19:04] SEKIMURA
    You're troubled.
[19:06] SEKIMURA
    Can you give it up that easily?
[19:09] SEKIMURA
    Can you forget how it feels
    to pursue your dream?
[19:14] SEKIMURA
    You only live once.
[19:16] SEKIMURA
    And that life doesn't belong to anyone
    else but you and you alone.
[19:23] SEKIMURA
    You must decide.
[19:25] SEKIMURA
    You should already have your answer!
[19:27] SEKIMURA
    You don't need anyone's permission!
[19:36] MASUNAGA
    Are you listening, Rabbit?
[19:38] MASUNAGA
    This song you requested isn't about
    giving up on your dreams, either.
[19:46] E
    Instead of searching for stars,
    try searching for me
[19:51] E
    Don't you know I'm the one
    who makes you shine the brightest
[19:57] SEKIMURA
    Your dreams aren't going anywhere.
[19:57] E
    Happiness is like a rainbow
[20:00] SEKIMURA
    If you can't achieve your dreams,
    it's because you're running from them.
[20:02] E
    It appears when it's least
    expected, so don't miss it
[20:05] SEKIMURA
    But you can't do that.
[20:08] SEKIMURA
    You need to stand and
    face them and go get them.
[20:11] SEKIMURA
    But that takes courage.
    An incredible amount of courage.
[20:28] SEKIMURA
    But it's okay. I'm sure you can do it.
[20:32] SEKIMURA
    After all, you're not alone.
[20:34] SEKIMURA
    The five of us who have
    listened to your dream
[20:37] SEKIMURA
    and all the little rabbits listening
    to this program are on your side!
[20:43] SEKIMURA
    After all, we're all chasing
    our dreams together!
[20:49] SEKIMURA
    So...
[20:51] SEKIMURA
    So please don't give up on your dream.
[20:54] SEKIMURA
    Together, let's make our dreams come true.

    Thank goodness!
[21:15] SEKIMURA
    I've been running this whole

    Sure. I'm game.

    Yeah. It soothes the soul.
