SIGN    Kitakado Tomohisa-sama
[00:06] KITAKADO
    Seat 25A...
[00:11] KITAKADO
    Oh? It's all of MooNs.
[00:14] ALL
    The prince!
[00:17] NOME
    Hey.
[00:18] OSARI
    Morning! Looks like we're on the same flight.
[00:21] SEKIMURA
    Our leader and Kore-san had
    something scheduled before this,
[00:24] SEKIMURA
    so they'll catch a later flight, right?
[00:26] ONZAI
    I think they said it was a
    shoot for a women's magazine.
[00:32] OSARI
    What's wrong, Prince?
[00:34] KITAKADO
    Nothing. I was just thinking that this is new.
[02:20] ONZAI
    You seem to be having fun.
[02:21] KITAKADO
    I am. This is my first time flying coach.
[02:25] OSARI
    What are you saying?
[02:27] KITAKADO
    I always travel in first—
[02:30] KITAKADO
    Whoops.
[02:33] KITAKADO
    I accidentally held your hand.
[02:34] KITAKADO
    Sorry.
[02:36] SEKIMURA
    I-It's fine...
[02:38] SEKIMURA
    I-I should be the one apologizing.
[02:41] KITAKADO
    I see... When you have to share armrests,
[02:44] KITAKADO
    these romantic little encounters
    are an everyday occurrence.
[02:50] ONZAI
    Mika?
[02:51] SEKIMURA
    So this is how it feels to come into
    direct contact with the prince's aura...
[02:56] SEKIMURA
    I know exactly how Kitakore
    fangirls feel right now.
[03:06] KOREKUNI
    Kazu, why are you fidgeting so much?
[03:09] MASUNAGA
    I wasn't expecting to ride first class.
[03:13] KOREKUNI
    Oh, sorry. I just booked seats
    like I usually do.
[03:18] MASUNAGA
    Usually?
[03:19] KOREKUNI
    Yeah.
[03:21] KOREKUNI
    I tell him I'm okay with coach every time,
    but Andy always upgrades the booking.
[03:30] MASUNAGA
    I see...
[03:31] KOREKUNI
    You were just thinking we live
    in different worlds, weren't you?
[03:35] MASUNAGA
    Huh?
[03:36] KOREKUNI
    Your shoulder's not like Tomo's.
[03:41] KOREKUNI
    The studio concert we're recording today
    is for a fifth anniversary special.
[03:46] KOREKUNI
    It's going to be broadcast nationwide.
[03:48] MASUNAGA
    So I heard.
[03:50] MASUNAGA
    This will be my first appearance
    on HKD-TV's music show.
[03:56] KOREKUNI
    This could go a long way
    for both Kitakore and MooNs' visibility.
[04:02] MASUNAGA
    Yeah.
[04:07] SEKIMURA
    While flying,
[04:09] SEKIMURA
    do you ever find yourself wondering what
     you'd do if there was some kind of trouble?
[04:14] OSARI
    Yeah, I do. I totally do.
[04:17] KITAKADO
    I wouldn't say it was trouble,
[04:19] KITAKADO
    but a plane I was on once
    flew through an air pocket.
[04:22] OSARI
    An air pocket?
[04:24] ONZAI
    A large air pocket can cause a plane
    to drop several hundred meters.
[04:28] NOME
    S-Several hundred meters?
[04:31] OSARI
    Tatsu doesn't like thrill rides.
[04:35] KITAKADO
    Then let's go ride some together soon.
[04:38] NOME
    Hey... Were you even listening?
[04:41] NOME
    No matter how you cut it,
    that response makes no sense.
[04:50] KOREKUNI
    So, is Tomo your eternal rival or something?
[04:55] KOREKUNI
    I know the two of you had similar goals,
    but people said Tomo was more charming.
[05:07] KOREKUNI
    If it were me, hearing that would
    definitely put him on my radar.
[05:18] MASUNAGA
    I wouldn't say Tomohisa and I are rivals.
[05:33] KITAKADO
    Kazu.
[05:37] KITAKADO
    I watched your music show the other day.
[05:40] MASUNAGA
    Thanks.
[05:41] KITAKADO
    You were perfectly in sync
    with that older idol's dancing.
[05:45] KITAKADO
    It was a fantastic performance.
[05:48] MASUNAGA
    Tomohisa always acknowledges me.
[05:57] KOREKUNI
    But it feels like he's talking down to you.
[06:04] KOREKUNI
    It makes you stubborn.
[06:10] KOREKUNI
    That's envy.
[06:13] KOREKUNI
    Don't be mad.
     Everyone feels that way sometimes.
[06:20] MASUNAGA
    I realized the day we met...
[06:25] MASUNAGA
    that Tomohisa and I were different.
[06:28] MASUNAGA
    No matter how hard I work,
[06:30] MASUNAGA
    I don't stand a chance against the
    privilege and talent he was born with.
[06:35] KOREKUNI
    You really are earnest. And a perfectionist.
[06:39] KOREKUNI
    You're here right now
    because you worked so hard.
[06:43] MASUNAGA
    Yet somehow...
    it's never enough to surpass him.
[06:49] MASUNAGA
    In this world, some fates
    are simply predetermined.
[06:53] KOREKUNI
    Fate? Maybe so.
[06:57] KOREKUNI
    But I don't think anyone gets
    to the top without hard work.
[07:02] MASUNAGA
    Some do.
[07:13] MAN
    What a noisy baby...
[07:15] WOMAN
    I-I'm sorry.
[07:23] OSARI
    Excuse me, is there an idol on the plane?
[07:27] ALL
    Right here!
[07:30] BOTH
    There, there... There, there...
[07:34] NOME
    Sitting the whole time gets boring.
[07:37] SEKIMURA
    Don't cry! Miracle rin-rin!
[07:40] OSARI
    Hey, look at me!
[07:44] KITAKADO
    Maybe he had trouble popping his ears.
[07:56] WOMAN
    I'm so sorry... Thank you.
[08:02] MASUNAGA
    I gradually became unsure of
    how to interact with Tomohisa.
[08:08] MASUNAGA
    I didn't know how close we were.
[08:12] MASUNAGA
    And eventually, you and Tomohisa
    were set to debut as Kitakore,
[08:17] MASUNAGA
    and we were to debut as MooNs.
[08:26] MAN
    Kitakore just has that special something.
[08:29] MAN
    Of course they do.
[08:31] MAN
    Out of all Bambi's talent, Kitakore's
    popularity is an order of magnitude higher.
[08:35] MAN
    Since Kitakore's a duo and MooNs has
    five members to sustain its popularity,
[08:40] MAN
    that would mean Kitakore is far more powerful.
[08:45] MAN
    That's too simple a way of looking at it.
[08:49] MASUNAGA
    When I heard those words,
     I felt like I'd been rejected.
[08:53] MASUNAGA
    I still remember how strongly I felt that.
[09:05] NOME
    You want to take the train instead of a taxi?
[09:08] KITAKADO
    Yeah, an ordinary train.
[09:10] SEKIMURA
    What kind of train do you normally ride?!
[09:16] KITAKADO
    Only Kazu could've inspired
    this kind of teamwork.
[09:21] KITAKADO
    MooNs is an amazing group,
    if different from Kitakore.
[09:27] KOREKUNI
    Tomo never misses a show
     MooNs makes an appearance on.
[09:36] KOREKUNI
    He'll say things like,
    "Their dancing is tighter."
[09:39] KOREKUNI
    "Their position changes
    have gotten even smoother."
[09:42] KOREKUNI
    "Their practice is paying off."
[09:44] KOREKUNI
    He's always watching closely.
[09:48] KOREKUNI
    Tomo once told me...
[09:51] KOREKUNI
    that you're like an
     extremely thin piece of glass.
[09:55] KOREKUNI
    So delicate and beautiful that you'd think
    just touching it would make it shatter.
[10:04] MASUNAGA
    What does that mean?
[10:06] KOREKUNI
    Here.
[10:25] SEKIMURA
    Our leader just messaged me
     to say he's arrived.
[10:30] MAN
    This is your room.
    Everyone's waiting for you.
[10:33] KOREKUNI
    We're here.
[10:35] OSARI
    Leader!
[10:36] KITAKADO
    Welcome.
[10:37] OSARI
    And Ryuchin!
[10:38] MASUNAGA
    Hello, everyone.
[10:40] MAN
    If you would, please wait here.
[10:42] KITAKADO
    Hello there.
[10:44] MAN
    There will be a meeting regarding
    the studio concert later.
[10:48] ALL
    Okay.
[10:50] KITAKADO
    Hello to you, too, Kazu.
[10:52] MASUNAGA
    Hi.
[10:53] KITAKADO
    I had the best time.
[10:55] KITAKADO
    MooNs is a great team.
[10:57] OSARI
    Of course we are!
[11:01] KITAKADO
    It feels like it's been so long.
[11:03] KITAKADO
    I can finally relax now that I'm with you.
[11:06] KOREKUNI
    You're exaggerating.
[11:09] TSUBASA
    Hello, everyone.
[11:11] OSARI
    Tsubasa-chan!
[11:13] ALL
    Hello.
[11:14] TSUBASA
    Kitakado-san, Masunaga-san.
[11:16] TSUBASA
    I know this is sudden,
[11:19] TSUBASA
    but it's about the food spotlight
    I briefly explained to you before.
[11:23] TSUBASA
    They want it to feel like the Prodigy Brunch
    special you did while you were at Bambi.
[11:28] KITAKADO
    Certainly. That won't be a problem.
[11:34] OSARI
    The Prodigy Brunch duo hasn't
    gotten together in a while.
[11:37] SEKIMURA
    I'm excited to hear our leader
    and the prince's banter.
[11:40] ONZAI
    Kitakado's gourmet reporting is always unique.
[11:43] ONZAI
    It'll be a good show.
[11:45] TSUBASA
    Right.
[11:47] KOREKUNI
    I'm sure Kazu will do a good job, too.

    Give us a sample of that food spotlight
    that was all the rage back then!
[12:09] KITAKADO
    Got it. You can count on me.

[12:25] AD
    three, two...
[12:34] KITAKADO
    Hello, everyone.
[12:36] KITAKADO
    We're here in Sapporo Central Park to put
     the spotlight on the Hokkaido Gourmet Fair.
[12:44] KITAKADO
    Hosting tonight will be myself,
    Kitakado Tomohisa of Kitakore...
[12:48] MASUNAGA
    And me, Masunaga Kazuna of MooNs.
[12:50] MASUNAGA
    Thanks for watching.
[12:52] KITAKADO
    It's been ages since we did
    some gourmet coverage like this.
[12:55] KITAKADO
    I'm thrilled to be sitting here with you again.
[12:59] MASUNAGA
    Yeah. Today, we'd like to show you all
    lots of delicious Hokkaido foods.
[13:09] KITAKADO
    First up is Mongolian mutton barbecue.
[13:12] MASUNAGA
    It looks like we have soy sauce, salt,
     and miso flavored takes on the dish.
[13:19] KITAKADO
    Let's start with the soy sauce version.
[13:28] KITAKADO
    This is...
[13:31] KITAKADO
    It's exquisite.
[13:33] KITAKADO
    It's like a paradise of sheep grazing
    on the highest quality grass.
[13:39] KITAKADO
    The umami flavor hits you instantly.
[13:42] KITAKADO
    The soft meat has no gamey taste at all.
[13:46] KITAKADO
    Its rich juices are like
     happiness washing over you.
[13:54] SEKIMURA
    The prince is going full steam ahead
    with his unique take on things.
[13:58] MASUNAGA
    A single bite made you that happy?
[14:02] MASUNAGA
    It must be really good.
[14:04] MASUNAGA
    Mind if I have some as well?
[14:06] KITAKADO
    Help yourself.
[14:14] MASUNAGA
    How tasty!
[14:15] MASUNAGA
    It really isn't gamey at all.
[14:17] MASUNAGA
    I could eat this all night.
[14:19] MASUNAGA
    Even those of you who don't care
    for mutton would like this.
[14:24] MASUNAGA
    And having three flavors to choose from
    keeps the dish from getting stale.
[14:28] OSARI
    That's our leader! His review was
     nice and easy to follow.
[14:30] ONZAI
    Yeah. He even makes it look good.
[14:33] NOME
    He's got this on lockdown.
[14:37] MASUNAGA
    You can't visit Hokkaido
    without having a seafood bowl.
[14:41] MASUNAGA
    Here we have one with salmon and salmon roe.
[14:48] KITAKADO
    I see them...
[14:49] KITAKADO
    I can see the goddess Roetus swimming
    in the sea of the constellation Dorado.
[14:53] KITAKADO
    Her cousin's name is Salmoneus.
[14:55] KITAKADO
    They have different flavors and textures,
[14:58] KITAKADO
    but in perfect sync, they swim together
    to the ends of the galaxy.
[15:04] OSARI
    What does that mean?
[15:05] SEKIMURA
    The prince's imagination is beyond me.
[15:08] SEKIMURA
    I have no idea how he sees the world.
[15:11] NOME
    I just barely understood that the salmon
    and salmon roe go together well.
[15:15] MASUNAGA
    T-Tomohisa, if you were to name
    this dish, what would you call it?
[15:22] KITAKADO
    Well...
[15:24] KITAKADO
    "Soft and juicy salmone
    and popping caviale rosso."
[15:28] KITAKADO
    The very molto buono
    of the seas of Hokkaido.
[15:31] MASUNAGA
    Okay, we hope all of you give it a try!
[15:35] ONZAI
    Nice, Leader. That was a good call.
[15:39] NOME
    Cutting off Kitakado's over-the-top
    gourmet report makes it look better.
[15:45] KOREKUNI
    Yup. Kazu and I are the only ones
    who understand how to handle Tomo.
[15:51] SEKIMURA
    They're nearly finished.
    Why don't we go cheer them on?
[15:55] OSARI
    Nice idea. I'm in.
[15:57] AD
    Ten minute break!
[16:00] DIRECTOR
    Nice work.
[16:01] BOTH
    Thank you.
[16:02] DIRECTOR
    You two really are something.
[16:04] DIRECTOR
    You're magnificent. It's going great.
[16:07] DIRECTOR
    See you boys at the concert
    recording after this.
[16:09] KITAKADO
    Got it.
[16:10] MASUNAGA
    See you then.
[16:11] DIRECTOR
    By the way, Kitakado-kun, your unique
    gourmet reporting is the best.
[16:17] DIRECTOR
    Are you always like that?
[16:20] KITAKADO
    I'm not sure.
[16:21] DIRECTOR
    I can't tell if you're joking or serious.
[16:24] KITAKADO
    I'm serious, of course.
[16:26] DIRECTOR
    Really?
[16:27] KITAKADO
    Really.
[16:28] DIRECTOR
    Of course, of course.

[17:00] AD
    We're ready to start again!
[17:01] MASUNAGA
    Finally, we have the finishing parfait.
[17:05] KITAKADO
    Lately, it's popular in Sapporo to finish
    a delicious meal with a parfait.
[17:13] MASUNAGA
    It's so intense!
[17:15] MASUNAGA
    Just looking at it fills you with excitement.
[17:18] KITAKADO
    Its spectacular and
    overpowering body is perfect.
[17:22] KITAKADO
    It's nonsense to worry about calories here.
[17:24] MASUNAGA
    Yes, perfect. An excellent comment, Tomohisa.
[17:30] KITAKADO
    Perfect indeed.
[17:31] KITAKADO
    That word is actually where
    the parfait got its name.
[17:35] MASUNAGA
    Tomohisa recommends this perfect dessert.
[17:38] MASUNAGA
    Now, let's dig in.
[17:43] KITAKADO
    The fruit is enveloped in
    a gelato of mango and yogurt.
[17:47] MASUNAGA
    Gelato is a frozen treat from Florence.
[17:51] KITAKADO
    They say its flavor is richer
    than that of ice cream.
[17:55] MASUNAGA
    With the addition of fresh cream
     and berry sauce...
[17:58] KITAKADO
    It is the ultimate dessert. Truly...
[18:02] BOTH
    A perfect dish.

    Hello, this is Sumisora.
[22:04] YASHAMARU
    Good evening, Tsubasa-chan.
[22:07] YASHAMARU
    Seems like the studio concert
    was a huge success.
[22:12] YASHAMARU
    What's wrong? You seem down.
[22:16] TSUBASA
    Yashamaru-san?
[22:19] YASHAMARU
    This job will have a huge
    influence on the future.
[22:24] YASHAMARU
    Don't waste my referral.
[22:30] TSUBASA
    You got this job for us?
[22:35] YASHAMARU
    I can't help but remember...
[22:38] YASHAMARU
    It was pouring like this that day, too.
[22:41] TSUBASA
    What?
[22:44] YASHAMARU
    I had a younger sister.
[22:47] YASHAMARU
    She dreamed of becoming an idol.
[22:54] YASHAMARU
    My sister was supposed to sing
    the song your father made!
[23:00] TSUBASA
    My father?
[23:02] YASHAMARU
    But she didn't.
[23:05] YASHAMARU
    Your father betrayed her and
    gave the song to another artist.
[23:10] TSUBASA
    What?
[23:12] YASHAMARU
    It came as a terrible shock.
[23:14] YASHAMARU
    Shortly after that, my sister
    vanished from this world.
[23:21] YASHAMARU
    Your studio concert was fantastic.
[23:25] YASHAMARU
    Let's hope there aren't any
    issues with the broadcast.
[23:29] TSUBASA
    Why would you say such a thing?

    I wish time would stop forever.
