[00:01] Mas
    I know you're about to start your lesson,
    but I have some news I need to tell you.
[00:05] Yuu
    Is it good news or bad news?
[00:08] Mas
    Which would you like to hear first?
[00:11] Chi
    So there's bad news, too.
[00:13] Air
    Can we please start with the bad news?
[00:15] Yuu
    You sure about that?
[00:17] Air
    Yeah. If I hear the bad news last, I might
    not be able to recover from the shock.
[00:23] Chi
    Fine, then.
[00:25] Yuz
    Airi, good or bad always
    depends on the context.
[00:28] Air
    Huh?
[00:28] Yuu
    What does that mean?
[00:30] Rio
    Hey, you should be listening to Masaki-san.
[00:33] Mas
    All right, we'll go with Airi's
    suggestion and start with the bad news.
[00:37] Mas
    We haven't been able to draw a lot
    of new fans with Project Vogel.
[00:40] All
    What? Really?
[00:42] Chi
    But we've done so many events.
[00:44] Air
    Were there not always lots of people there?
[00:48] Yuz
    Yeah! We're popular.
[00:50] Mas
    But if you only depend on a small number
    of fans, you'll eventually hit a dead end.
[00:55] Chi
    Yeah...
[00:57] Mas
    Now, here's the good news.
[01:00] Mas
    The people who have supported your
    crowdfunding are not just from the Tokyo area.
[01:06] Mas
    There were actually more
    patrons from other regions.
[01:09] Yuz
    Really?
[01:10] Rio
    Yep, and requests for appearances
    have come in from all over.
[01:15] Mas
    So we've decided to respond
    to those requests.
[01:19] Mas
    It's confirmed. Chun×4 is going on tour!
[01:25] All
    All right!
[01:26] Chi
    Thank you so much for giving us this chance.
[01:30] Rio
    We're still working on
    the exact dates, but...
[01:32] Rio
    It looks like your first appearance
    will be in... let's see... Niigata.
[01:37] Yuu
    Nice! I've never been there.
[01:39] Yuz
    The land of Echigo!
[01:40] Yuz
    Lord Kenshin!
[01:42] Chi
    Niigata, huh?
[01:44] Rio
    Oh, you're from Niigata, right?
[01:47] Yuu
    Really? That's so cool!
[01:49] Air
    Good for you, Chisa-chan.
[01:51] Chi
    Huh? What do you mean?
[01:53] Yuz
    You'll get to see your parents and friends.
[01:55] Chi
    O-Oh... I guess so.
[01:58] Mas
    There's one more piece of good news.
[02:02] Rio
    Ta-da!
[02:03] Rio
    They're done!
[02:04] Yuz
    Oh, wow! They're lovely!
[02:07] Air
    It's so cute.
[02:09] Chi
    So these are our costumes.
[02:12] Rio
    You'll be wearing these
    for your next live show.
[02:15] Yuu
    Uh, but why are there so many?
[02:19] Mas
    These are the costumes for
    everyone here at AiRBLUE.
[02:22] Yuu
    Huh?
[02:25] Mas
    One day, I'd like to see
    all of you on one stage,
[02:30] Mas
    so with that in mind,
    I made costumes for everyone.
[02:35] Yuu
    Wait, so... you're saying that's your...
[02:39] Mas
    That's my dream.
[02:40] Rio
    Masaki-san was so excited that
    she made one for everyone.
SIGN    Take Flight, Little Birds!
[04:21] Yuu
    The bullet train is so fast!
[04:24] Air
    Is this your first time
    riding one, Yuuki-chan?
[04:26] Yuu
    No, but I'm still surprised every time.
[04:30] Yuz
    It's wonderful.
    Japanese technology is the best!
[04:32] Chi
    Come on, everyone, calm down.
    This isn't a field trip.
[04:36] ---
    Hmph.
[04:37] Air
    I bet your hometown is amazing. I can't wait.
[04:41] Chi
    Oh, uh... it is! I mean, for me personally,
    it's a little complicated, but...
[04:47] Yuz
    Complicated?
[04:49] Yuu
    Like how? I'm curious!
[04:51] Chi
    It's really nothing that interesting.
[04:53] Chi
    It's just that after my parents'
    company went under, we were poor,
[04:57] Chi
    and our family had to live all
    crammed in a really tiny house.
[05:01] All
    What?!
[05:02] Chi
    Oh, sorry!
[05:04] Chi
    Don't worry about it.
    It was quite a long time ago.
[05:06] Chi
    Things are basically normal
    these days, so it's fine!
[05:09] Chi
    Besides, looking back now, I do have
    some good memories of that time, too.
[05:12] Chi
    Like, when I was little,
    since our room was so small,
[05:15] Chi
    I slept curled up to my older
    and younger sister every night.
[05:18] Chi
    That was so cozy.
[05:20] Chi
    And so on...
[05:21] Air
    I'm so sorry, Chisa-chan.
[05:22] Air
    Are you sure we didn't offend you?
[05:24] Chi
    I told you, it's fine.
[05:26] Air
    You're sure?
[05:26] Chi
    I'm really sure!
[05:28] Chi
    In fact, I feel motivated to give my
    hometown the best performance ever!

    Your live show is tomorrow, but it's
    straight to work as soon as we arrive.
[05:41] Rio
    First is an interview
    with a local magazine.
[05:43] Rio
    After that, a radio appearance.
[05:45] Yuu
    Wow, how awesome is that?!
[05:47] Yuz
    I guess we're famous.
[05:49] Rio
    That's what I'm saying.
[05:51] Rio
    Eat now, while you still can.
[06:00] Rio
    Let's get going.
[06:01] all
    Okay!
[06:09] Man
    Are you the ladies from AiRBLUE?
[06:12] All
    Yes!
[06:16] Yuu
    Wow!
[06:17] Yuz
    So this is your hometown, Chisa.
[06:20] Chi
    Calm down. We're here to work.
[06:24] Yuu
    You're ready to go, huh?
[06:26] Chi
    Of course.
[06:35] Lady
    First, I'd like to thank all of you
    from Chun×4 for making the tri—
[06:38] Chi
    Yes!
[06:41] Lady
    W-Well, then, let's get to the—
[06:43] All
    And go!
[06:45] Yuu
    I've been dying to meet you, friends!
[06:47] Chi
    I'm a hyperdimensional idol from space!

[06:53] Yuz
    I love it when things get loud!
[06:56] All
    We are Chun×4!
[07:04] Lad
    Thank you for the pose.
[07:06] Lad
    Hold it just a little longer, please.
[07:09] Chi
    Sure...
[07:13] DJ
    So you're all voice actresses,
    and you're working as a unit, as well?
[07:17] Chi
    Yes!
[07:18] Chi
    We're doing our best in both areas!
[07:20] Air
    My dancing still needs
    a lot of work, though...
[07:23] Yuu
    We're doing a live show tomorrow!
[07:25] Yuz
    I hope everyone in Niigata will cheer us on.
[07:27] DJ
    This reminds me, Akagawa Chisa-san,
    you're originally from this area, correct?
[07:31] DJ
    That means this is your
    triumphant return as a star!
[07:35] Chi
    I don't know about that.
[07:36] Chi
    I'm still...
[07:38] Crowd
    Good luck!
[07:41] DJ
    Akagawa-san, it looks like the
    local crowd is cheering you on.
[07:48] Air
    Chisa-chan, that's amazing!
[07:53] Yuu
    Good job, everyone.
[07:55] All
    Let's eat!
[08:00] Yuu
    That's so good!
[08:01] Yuz
    Excellent!
[08:04] Yuz
    So this is the soul food of Niigata!
[08:06] Air
    Yeah.
[08:10] Air
    Chisa-chan, that reminds me.
[08:11] Air
    It was amazing how much everyone
    was cheering for you today.
[08:15] Yuu
    That's right.
[08:16] Yuu
    And after our radio spot, everyone
    wanted your picture and your autograph.
[08:21] Yuz
    That's our Chisa!
[08:24] Chi
    This is a really small town.
[08:27] Chi
    There's no one else from around here
    who's in the entertainment industry.
[08:33] Chi
    That's why even someone like me
    is treated like a celebrity.
[08:37] Yuu
    I don't think that's the reason why, though.
[08:42] Air
    Seeing you made everyone so happy—
[08:45] Chi
    I get it, okay?!
[08:46] Air
    Ch-Chisa-chan...
[08:49] Chi
    But being cheered on or being
    treated like a celebrity...
[08:53] Chi
    Right now that's the last thing I need.
[08:58] Chi
    I'm sorry I ruined the mood.
[09:00] Chi
    I'm tired, so I'm gonna head back to the hotel.

[09:26] Chi
    Yeah, I'm here in Niigata.
[09:29] Chi
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[09:33] Chi
    It's a live performance,
    but it's just a small thing, really.
[09:37] Chi
    Jeez, everyone's blowing
    this out of proportion.
[09:41] Chi
    I know.
[09:43] Chi
    Huh?
[09:46] Chi
    Really?
[09:48] Chi
    Yeah, I figured she wouldn't
    be able to make it.
[09:51] Chi
    No, I understand.
[09:53] Chi
    She might be close by, but you can't
    really navigate crowds with a small kid.
[09:57] Chi
    Tell her I said hi.
[09:59] Chi
    Okay, see you tomorrow.

    She's back! Our Chisa is back!
[11:08] Chi
    I'm really sorry about yesterday.
[11:11] Chi
    I promise I'm completely fine now.
[11:13] Yuu
    You're not just completely
    recovered, you've leveled up!
[11:16] Chi
    Of course.
[11:18] Chi
    So let's go out there and
    nail today's performance!
[11:33] Guy
    Please feel free to use
    this room until it's time.
[11:37] Rio
    Thank you so much.
[11:39] Rio
    I'm going to go discuss a few things,
    so you guys just relax here.
[11:42] Both
    Okay!
[11:44] Yuu
    Scouting done!
[11:46] Yuu
    That stage is amazing!
[11:49] Yuz
    It's full of people!
[11:51] Chi
    But it's mostly just mall shoppers, isn't it?
[11:54] Chi
    That's not...
[11:55] Yuz
    Oh, just come with me!
[12:05] Air
    So many people.
[12:07] Air
    I'm getting so nervous.
[12:09] Yuu
    I'm getting fired up!
[12:11] Yuu
    It feels like we just gotta do it now!
[12:13] Yuz
    The most we've had so far!
[12:14] Yuz
    I think we'll enjoy this.
[12:21] all
    I hope they start soon.

    How much longer?

    See? Everyone's cheering you on.
[12:33] Yuz
    That's so cool.
[12:35] Yuz
    You're a star.
[12:42] Air
    Chisa-chan?
[12:46] Yuu
    Wh-Wha...
[12:53] Yuz
    Chisa?
[12:54] Yuu
    Are you all right?
[12:55] Yuu
    She looks sick.
[12:57] Air
    You're sweating bullets.
[12:59] Yuz
    Chisa, what's wrong?
[13:00] Chi
    I'm sorry.
[13:01] Chi
    I didn't sleep well last night.
[13:03] Chi
    That might be why.
[13:05] Air
    Did you not get any sleep at all?
[13:07] Chi
    I kind of dozed off and on,
[13:09] Chi
    but I woke right back up every time.
[13:18] Air
    What are we going to do?
[13:19] Yuu
    For now, we should tell Rio-san.
[13:22] Chi
    Sorry. I'll get myself together for the show.
[13:25] Yuu
    You really don't look well.
[13:28] Yuz
    Should we call an ambulance?
    Or a medical helicopter?
[13:30] Chi
    Really, I'm fine.
[13:32] Chi
    I'm fine and... I'll make myself be fine.
[13:35] Air
    But...
[13:36] Chi
    Just leave me alone for a bit!
[13:44] Yuz
    Chisa's really not well, is she?
[13:48] Air
    We can't just leave her alone like she asked.
[13:50] Yuu
    What should we do?
[13:52] Rio
    Hey!
[13:57] Yuu
    Rio-san?
[14:00] Rio
    Is Chisa-chan okay?
[14:03] Air
    She's not.
[14:05] Yuz
    How did you know?
[14:07] Rio
    Tell them!
[14:08] All
    Huh?
SIGN    Call in progress
    Akagawa-san
[14:10] Rio
    Go for it.
[14:11] Girl
    Hello, nice to meet you.
    I'm Chisa's older sister.
[14:17] Yuu
    Her older sister?!
[14:18] Girl
    My sister has told me all about all of you.
[14:22] Girl
    I was hoping I could talk to you a little.
[14:25] Rio
    She contacted AiRBLUE herself,
    got my number, and called.
[14:31] Girl
    I see. I thought as much.
[14:34] Yuu
    Yes, she's resting in another room right now.
[14:37] Air
    She seems like she's having
    a really rough time.
[14:40] Air
    But how do you know about that?
[14:42] Girl
    My sister is quite poised,
    and she often puts on a strong front,
[14:47] Girl
    but in reality, she's a very emotional person.
[14:50] Yuu
    What?! No way!
[14:53] Air
    Yuuki-chan, take it easy!
[14:54] Girl
    If she gets scared, she can't sleep
    at night and sometimes gets sick.
[15:00] Girl
    Our mom told me that she had called her last
    night, and that she didn't sound very good.
[15:05] Yuz
    That's right.
    She was acting strange last night.
[15:09] Girl
    It can't be easy getting on a stage in
    a small town where everyone knows you.
[15:14] Air
    Was she really worried about this?
[15:16] Girl
    Yes.
[15:17] Girl
    When we were kids, I was the only
    one Chisa confided in completely.
[15:21] Girl
    She would often call me
    to complain, as well.
[15:25] Girl
    But then...
[15:26] Yuu
    Then what?
[15:27] Girl
    She stopped calling recently.
[15:30] Girl
    It's probably because...
[15:32] All
    Because?
[15:33] Air
    Oh, I see.
[15:35] Yuu
    Right, of course!
[15:37] Air
    Yuuki-chan, that hurts.
[15:39] Yuz
    Don't push me!
[15:40] Girl
    Are you okay?
[15:42] Yuu
    Yep, we're fine!
[15:44] Yuz
    Thank you for the information!
[15:46] Girl
    Unfortunately, I can't come
    over there right now.
[15:51] Air
    Thank you so much.
[15:52] Girl
    No, thank you.
    It was nice to see all of you.
[15:56] Yuu
    Cute kid, too.
[15:58] Girl
    Thank you.
[15:59] Girl
    I figured the reason Chisa
    stopped calling me so much
[16:02] ---
    was because you're all there for her now.
[16:06] Girl
    Please keep looking out for my little sister.
[16:09] Yuu
    We've got you covered!
[16:11] All
    Thank you so much!
[16:13] Yuz
    Let's go!
[16:14] All
    Yeah!
[16:16] Rio
    You don't have much time! Please hurry!
[16:19] Rio
    Oh, I should, too.
[16:26] Chi
    I'm the worst.
[16:29] (Flashback) Chi
    Just leave me alone for a bit!
[16:32] Chi
    I got myself all worked up, got
    nervous, and to make it even worse,
[16:37] Chi
    I said awful things to the
    people who care about me.
[16:42] Chi
    I need to start getting ready.
[16:55] Chi
    Huh?
[16:59] Yuu
    Switch!
[17:00] Air
    Okay.
[17:05] Air
    Yuzuha-chan!
[17:06] Yuz
    Okay.
[17:11] Chi
    What are you doing?
[17:13] Yuu
    Oh, Chisa!
[17:14] Yuu
    Green Tea
[17:15] Yuu
    Have a seat.
[17:16] Chi
    Huh?
[17:18] Chi
    What are you doing?
[17:29] Yuz
    Try it, Chisa!
[17:31] Yuu
    I bet this will perk you right up!
[17:37] Chi
    This is...
[17:42] Chi
    It's so good.
[17:45] Air
    Your big sister gave us the recipe.
[17:47] Air
    It's a milkshake.
[17:49] Chi
    My sister gave it to you?
[17:50] Yuz
    She said she used to make it for
    you when you were feeling down.
[17:54] Chi
    Yeah, it reminds me of those days.
[17:56] Chi
    But how...
[18:05] Chi
    This taste really does take me back.
[18:18] Girls
    Hey!
[18:23] Tsu
    It's time.
[18:26] Tou
    This destiny of ours...
[18:29] Rin

[18:34] Sak
    Yeah! We're going to be together forever!
[18:51] Chi
    Huh?
[18:52] Yuu
    Oh, you're awake.
[18:54] Air
    Chisa-chan.
[18:55] Yuz
    Good morning, Chisa.
[18:57] Chi
    Did I fall asleep?
[18:59] Air
    Yeah, for about thirty minutes.
[19:01] Chi
    Thirty minutes... Our show!
[19:04] Yuu
    It's almost time.
[19:07] Yuz
    You were sleeping so soundly,
    we almost didn't want to wake you.
[19:10] Air
    You look so much better now.
[19:15] chi
    My head feels clear.
[19:17] chi
    That strange tightness in my
    chest is completely gone, too.
[19:22] chi
    You guys... I... I...
[19:27] Yuu
    Chisa, are you going to
    sing in those clothes?
[19:31] Chi
    I'm the only one who's not in costume?!
[19:34] Yuu
    Go on. There's not much time.
[19:36] Air
    Hurry, Chisa-chan.
[19:38] Yuz
    Let's get you changed, Chisa.
[19:40] Chi
    Jeez. Well, now that we're here...
[19:43] Chi
    We have to show them
[19:45] Chi
    the best performance
    the four of us can deliver!
[19:48] Yuu
    That's right!
[19:49] Air
    Yeah!
[19:51] Yuz
    We've got this.
[20:02] Four
    Come on, let's go to that shining stage!
[20:18] Yuu
    Everyone starts with a tiny dream
[20:22] All
    Tiny dream
[20:24] Chi
    But look, everyone's breaking out
    of their shell to show their face
[20:30] Air
    Even when the winds of doubt are blowing
[20:33] All
    Are blowing
[20:35] Yuz
    We yearn for the sky and spread
    our wings with determination
[20:40] Both
    One, two, three
[20:42] Both
    Aligning our heartbeats
[20:45] Both
    Three, two, one
[20:47] Both
    Come on, let's take flight from here
[20:52] All
    We can fly!
[20:54] All
    Let's fly up
[20:55] All
    To a brand new sky
[20:59] All
    If we hold each other's hands
[21:02] All
    We are not alone
[21:04] All
    We can fly!
[21:04] All
    That's right, the four wishes here
[21:12] All
    Will eventually become destiny
[21:15] All
    Don't stop and never give up
[21:18] All
    No matter what happens
[21:21] All
    Come on, let's go to that shining stage
[21:49] All
    Thank you so much!
[21:58] Chi
    Everyone, we truly, thank you so very much!
[22:03] Chi
    I was born in Niigata, and this
    was our first live show here.
[22:08] Chi
    It made me so happy to receive
    all of your encouragement!
[22:16] Chi
    You've been such a lovely audience.
[22:19] ---
    I feel so blessed that so
    many people dear to me came.
[22:25] Yuu
    Chisa.
[22:36] Chi
    Onee-chan...
[22:40] Chi
    I'm going to be honest for a moment.
[22:45] Chi
    I was actually terrified by the thought
    of doing a live show here in my home town.
[22:50] Chi
    I was afraid I'd disappoint all of you.
[22:54] Chi
    I was so worried and scared that
    I couldn't sleep at night.
[23:01] Chi
    I was truly in the worst shape ever.
[23:04] Chi
    I felt so helpless,
    I was almost ready to run away.
[23:10] Chi
    But because the other members supported me,
[23:15] Chi
    I was able to get up on this stage.
[23:19] All
    Chisa!
[23:22] All
    Chisa!
[23:23] All
    Chisa-chan!
[23:25] Chi
    Why are you all crying?
[23:27] Yuz
    You started crying first!
[23:42] Chi
    Niigata, thank you so much!
[23:45] All
    We are...
[23:48] All
    Chun×4!
