[00:14] Aya
    A balloon?
[00:17] Aya
    Gotcha.
[00:21] Aya
    Where did this come from?
[00:23] Aya
    Balloons, huh?
[00:25] Aya
    When I was little, my grandma used
    to get me one every time we went out.
[00:33] Aya
    Hey!
[00:35] Aya
    Wait!
[00:47] Mah
    What's that?
[00:47] Mah
    A red balloon?
[00:49] Mah
    I wonder if I can catch it.
[00:54] Mah
    Got it.
[00:58] Mah
    Funny to think that this
    is what I wanted as a kid.
[01:01] Aya
    Hey, you over there!
[01:03] Mah
    Are you talking to me?
[01:05] Aya
    Huh? Mahoro?
[01:07] Aya
    I accidentally let go of that balloon.
[01:10] Aya
    May I come up there to get it?
[01:13] Mah
    You don't have to. I'll bring it down for you.
[01:16] Mah
    Here you go.
[01:17] Aya
    Thanks for catching it.
[01:20] Mah
    You're welcome.
[01:21] Rik
    Sorry! Out of the way, please!
[01:27] Aya
    Ow.
[01:28] Mah
    Riko!
[01:29] Rik
    Sorry about that. I'm running late for work.
[01:33] Aya
    Huh?
[01:34] Mah
    Wait!
[01:36] Rik
    What is it?
[01:37] Rik
    What's with the balloon?
[01:46] Rik
    I used to chase after balloons
    with my dad and my little sister!
[01:55] Kir
    I have no objections.
[01:57] Rio
    Neither do I.
[01:58] Mas
    Well, then, that means...
[02:00] Mas
    Huh?
[02:02] Rio
    A red balloon?
[02:06] Rik
    Look over there!
[02:07] aya
    That's our classroom!
[02:09] Rik
    Lucky us! It went inside!
[02:21] Mih
    What's that?
[02:23] Mih
    A balloon?
[02:25] Mih
    I wonder when it got in here...
[02:29] Rik
    There it is.
[02:32] Mih
    What are you all doing here?
[02:34] Mah
    What are we...
[02:36] Rik
    Yeah, what are we all doing here?
[02:41] Mih
    You're weird.
[02:42] Aya
    I couldn't help but chase it.
[02:45] Rik
    Yeah, this is a strange balloon.
[02:50] Mas
    Girls?
[02:53] Mas
    What are you doing in here?
[02:55] Mah
    Well...
[02:56] Rik
    We don't know why, but we all
    started going after this balloon.
[03:00] Aya
    Then it ended up in this room.
[03:04] Mih
    And now it's mine.
[03:07] Rio
    Masaki-san, is that...
[03:09] Mas
    That's right.
[03:10] Mas
    I guess it was all inevitable.
[03:12] All
    Huh?
SIGN    Ride the Headwind
[04:56] Mih
    Done.
[04:59] Mih
    What a mysterious balloon.

    We'll weather the weather whatever the
    weather whether we like it or not.

    Almost there.

[06:01] Rik
    Good morning, good day, good evening!
[06:04] Aya
    The radio show that delivers
    happiness right to your ears...
[06:08] Mah
    From four aspiring voice actresses...
[06:11] Mih
    Brought to you with all our love!
[06:20] Mih
    We'll start by introducing ourselves.
[06:22] Mih
    We are four up-and-coming voice
    actresses from the agency AiRBLUE.
[06:28] Mih
    My name is Yomine Miharu.
[06:30] Mah
    I'm Miyaji Mahoro.
[06:31] Aya
    I'm Kamuro Aya.
[06:33] Rik
    And last, but certainly not
    least, is me, Hinakura Riko!
[06:37] Mih
    Since it's our first broadcast, we wanted
    to let you know a few things about us.
[06:43] Aya
    By the way, today's program is
    coming to you from Riko's room.
[06:47] Mah
    We plan to broadcast from
    all of our rooms in turn.
[06:51] Rik
    All of us live together in the same dorm.
[06:54] Aya
    In that way, we're...
[06:57] All
    ...actually a team!
[06:59] (Flashback) Rio
    So here's the third floor where
    the seven of you will be living.
[07:04] (Flashback) Rik
    Our rooms are all next to each other.
[07:07] (Flashback) Rio
    Of course! The four of you are a team now.
[07:11] (Flashback) Rik
    Oh, right.
[07:12] (Flashback) Mih
    That's true.
[07:14] (Flashback) Mah
    I haven't agreed to anything like that.
[07:16] (Flashback) Rio
    But Mahoro-chan, it's Masaki-san's plan
    for you all to grow together as a team.
[07:24] (Flashback) Mah
    I know, but...
[07:27] (Flashback) Mih
    You know, since we're in this together,
    I think we should do something together.
[07:32] (Flashback) Rik
    Like what?
[07:33] (Flashback) Aya
    All four of us?
[07:35] (Flashback) Mih
    I mean, once we have a job, that will
    be our priority, but until then.
[07:38] (Flashback) Rik
    We're not on that level yet anyway.
[07:41] (Flashback) Aya
    Something we can all do together?
[07:45] (Flashback) Mah
    My plan was to become the most
    respected voice actress by myself.
[07:51] Rik
    Mahoro, when you first moved in, you were
    a bit more prickly than you are now.
[07:57] Mah
    Huh, really?
[07:59] Aya
    You really were.
[08:01] Rik
    I think you're not really suited
    for living with other people.
[08:07] Mah
    Well, I didn't even want to
    live in the dorm originally.
[08:11] Rik
    Remember the argument
    over the bath schedule?
[08:14] Aya
    Oh, yeah, that happened.
[08:15] Mah
    That was just...
[08:16] Mih
    Huh? There was an argument?
[08:19] Rik
    She made a huge scene!
[08:21] Mih
    Did that happen?
[08:24] Rik
    You don't remember?
[08:25] Mah
    This is why talking to you
    always throws me off track...
[08:30] Rik
    But I feel like Miharu's really
    helped us come together as a team.
[08:36] Aya
    Yeah.
[08:38] Mih
    And with that, I'd like to start by
    introducing some of my favorite sakes.
[08:43] Rik
    You actually brought them, too?!
[08:45] Mah
    She's raring to go from the beginning.
[08:47] Aya
    I'm not old enough to drink yet.
[08:50] Mih
    Oh, really?
[08:52] Aya
    Man...
[08:53] Rik
    But you know, one other incident happened
[08:56] ---
    before the four of us
    could truly come together.
[08:59] Aya
    "Incident" is a bit of an exaggeration.
[09:02] Mih
    No, Aya, it really was an incident.
[09:05] Mah
    Yes. Incident indeed.
[09:09] Three
    All together: meow!
[09:12] Aya
    M-Meow...
[09:17] (Flashback) Mih
    What a cute kitty!
[09:20] (Flashback) Rik
    Isn't it a bad idea to
    have a cat in the dorm?
[09:22] (Flashback) Mah
    Aya, did you pick up a stray cat?
[09:25] (Flashback) Aya
    Yeah, three nights ago.
[09:28] (Flashback) Aya
    I found this sick-looking
    cat outside on the way home.
[09:33] (Flashback) Aya
    I even thought that it was too late for her,
    but I couldn't just leave her, either.
[09:37] (Flashback) Aya
    So I brought her home,
    gave her a warm bath, and fed her...
[09:42] (Flashback) Aya
    And she perked right up.
[09:44] (Flashback) Mah
    You can't keep her here, though.
[09:46] (Flashback) Mah
    The dorm rules forbid keeping pets.
[09:49] (Flashback) Aya
    I know that.
[09:50] (Flashback) Aya
    But I can't just throw her
    out now that she's better.
[09:53] (Flashback) Mih
    You can't take this lightly, though.
[09:56] (Flashback) Mih
    Can you really take care of a cat?
[09:57] (Flashback) Mih
    What if she gets sick?
[09:59] (Flashback) Aya
    W-Well...
[10:02] Aya
    But I couldn't bring myself to give up the cat.
[10:07] Aya
    And then...
[10:08] (Flashback) Hon
    So cute!
[10:11] (Flashback) Mai
    Cats are just not fair!
[10:13] (Flashback) Shi
    Resistance is futile.
[10:15] (Flashback) Yuz
    Hey, doesn't it look like it might
    have some Abyssinian in it?
[10:18] (Flashback) Yuu
    What is that? Can you eat it?
[10:21] (Flashback) Ari
    It's a breed of cat, Yuuki-chan.
[10:23] (Flashback) Chi
    How clueless can you be?
[10:25] (Flashback) Mah
    What is this?
[10:27] (Flashback) Mah
    It's like they don't get how serious this is.
[10:29] (Flashback) Aya
    I thought they would be more angry about it.
[10:31] (Flashback) Mih
    There, there.
[10:33] (Flashback) Har
    Well, actually...
[10:35] (Flashback) Har
    There's a reason for that.
[10:40] Mah
    So basically, the eight people
    who were living here first
[10:45] ---
    had agreed to let one girl keep a turtle.
[10:48] Har
    He's not a turtle! He's Kamei-san!
[10:50] Mah
    That sounded just like her!
[10:52] Rik
    However, Mahoro noticed
    something very serious.
[10:58] Aya
    I don't know if it was that serious.
[11:02] (Flashback) Mih
    You can stay here. Isn't that great?
[11:05] (Flashback) Mah
    Wait a minute.
[11:07] (Flashback) Mah
    This cat isn't a stray. She's someone's pet.
[11:10] (Flashback) Aya
    How can you tell?
[11:12] (Flashback) Mah
    I did think her fur looked really nice,
[11:14] (Flashback) ---
    but now I also see that
    she's been to a vet recently.
[11:18] (Flashback) Rik
    A vet?
[11:20] Aya
    No way...
[11:21] (Flashback) Mih
    Then this cat is...
[11:22] (Flashback) Mah
    I doubt someone would get rid
    of a cat that just had surgery.
[11:26] (Flashback) Mih
    If the cat has an owner,
    that changes everything.
[11:30] (Flashback) Sat
    That's true.
[11:31] (Flashback) Sat
    At the very least, we need to
    find out what the owner wants.
[11:34] (Flashback) Aya
    But... But I'm the one who found this cat
[11:37] (Flashback) ---
    and warmed her when she
    was completely limp and...
[11:39] (Flashback) Rik
    Aya, let's go to your room and calm down.
[11:42] (Flashback) Mih
    Why don't we all look for
    the real owner together?
[11:46] (Flashback) Rik
    I think that's best, too.
[11:49] (Flashback) Mah
    Not that I don't get how you feel, but...
[11:53] (Flashback) Mih
    Aya, let's think about
    what's best for this cat.
[11:56] (Flashback) Mih
    What would make her happiest?
[11:58] (Flashback) Aya
    But, but...
[11:59] (Flashback) Mih
    Aya.
[12:07] (Flashback) Aya
    Sorry.
[12:08] (Flashback) Aya
    Let's look for the owner.
[12:11] (Flashback) Rik
    All right!
[12:12] (Flashback) Rik
    Let's commence Operation: Find the Owner!
[12:16] (Flashback) Mih
    Okay!
[12:21] (Flashback) Mah
    This is way too much trouble, but I'll help, too.
[12:28] Rik
    So that's how we started
    looking for the owner.
[12:31] Mah
    Can you guess how this all ended?
[12:33] Mih
    We'll tell you after a short break.
[12:35] Aya
    What, now?!
[12:38] All
    Ride the Headwind!
[12:45] Aya
    So we're really going to talk about this?
[12:48] Rik
    You're getting cold feet now?
[12:50] Rik
    It's how the four of us got close.
[12:53] Aya
    I was thinking of recommending
    some of my favorite manga.
[12:57] Mih
    Let's do that next time.
[13:00] Mah
    You're the main character of this story.
[13:05] Aya
    Okay.
[13:07] (Flashback) Rik
    I'm home.
SIGN    We're looking for her owner!

[13:09] (Flashback) Rik
    I put up a ton of flyers.
[13:12] (Flashback) Rik
    How's it going online?
[13:14] (Flashback) Mah
    I'm trying to get the word
    out as much as possible.
[13:18] (Flashback) Rik
    Let me see...
[13:20] (Flashback) Rik
    Wait, you've got 28,000 followers?
[13:23] (Flashback) Rik
    Whoa!
[13:23] (Flashback) Mah
    Well, a voice actress has to be
    her own producer these days.
[13:28] (Flashback) Mah
    But the owner probably lives
    somewhere near here,
[13:30] (Flashback) Mah
    so I'm not really expecting
    much from social media.
[13:33] (Flashback) Mih
    We can't know that.
[13:34] (Flashback) Mih
    Sometimes cats wander really far from home.
[13:38] (Flashback) Mah
    By the way, where's Aya?
[13:40] (Flashback) Rik
    She said she'd be in her room with Mii-chan.
[13:43] (Flashback) Mah
    Mii-chan?
[13:44] (Flashback) Aya
    Hey, Mii-chan.
[13:47] (Flashback) Aya
    I wish we could stay together all the time.
[13:50] (Flashback) Rik
    I warned her about naming the cat
    because that makes you more attached.
[13:55] (Flashback) Mah
    Let's find the owner quickly,
    before it's too late.
[14:01] (Flashback) Mah
    Aya, you're being such a child about this.
[14:04] (Flashback) Mih
    Mahoro, wait.
[14:10] Rik
    You're so dishonest, Mahoro.
[14:13] Mah
    What's that supposed to mean?
[14:16] Mih
    You're so nice, though.
[14:17] Mah
    Jeez, I'm just...
[14:19] Aya
    Yes, I agree. Mahoro's dishonest.
[14:24] Mah
    Oh, stop it, Aya.
[14:27] Aya
    I mean, remember what happened
    when Mii-chan's owner came?
[14:34] (Flashback) Aya
    What do I do?
[14:35] (Flashback) Aya
    They're really here.
[14:36] (Flashback) Rik
    That's what we've all been working for.
[14:40] (Flashback) Aya
    No!
[14:41] (Flashback) Aya
    I haven't properly said goodbye to her yet.
[14:45] (Flashback) Aya
    I know! If I can't keep her here
    in the dorm, I'll move out and—
[14:48] (Flashback) Mah
    Aya!
[14:49] (Flashback) Mah
    You came here because you wanted to
    become a voice actress, didn't you?
[14:53] (Flashback) Aya
    But... Mii-chan...
[14:54] (Flashback) Mah
    So you're just going to throw
    your dream away like that?
[14:58] (Flashback) Mah
    I thought you were someone with a decent
    work ethic, but I guess I was wrong.
[15:02] (Flashback) Mah
    Frankly, I'm so appalled,
    I don't even know what to say.
[15:05] (Flashback) Rik
    Mahoro...
[15:06] (Flashback) Mih
    All right, why don't we
    leave it at that, Mahoro?
[15:10] (Flashback) Mih
    Try to be rational about this, Aya.
[15:15] (Flashback) ---
    Okay...
[15:16] (Flashback) wom
    Um, I heard that someone was
    keeping a cat here at this agency...
[15:21] (Flashback) wom
    I was wondering if it might be my Miiko.
[15:25] (Flashback) Rik
    Aya...
[15:34] (Flashback) Aya
    Um... Mii-chan is...
[15:38] (Flashback) Wom
    Miiko!
[15:41] (Flashback) Wom
    Um...
[15:48] (Flashback) Wom
    Miiko!
[15:50] (Flashback) Wom
    Miiko, I was looking all over for you.
[15:53] (Flashback) Wom
    Thank goodness! Miiko!
[15:56] (Flashback) Wom
    I was so worried about you.
[15:58] (Flashback) Wom
    But I'm so happy I found you.
[16:01] (Flashback) ---
    Miiko...
[16:02] (Flashback) Aya
    Mii-chan...
[16:09] (Flashback) Wom
    Let's go home, Miiko.
[16:11] (Flashback) Mah
    Hello, it's nice to meet you.
[16:13] (Flashback) Mah
    My name is Miyaji Mahoro.
[16:15] (Flashback) Mah
    You're the lost cat's owner, right?
[16:18] (Flashback) Wom
    Y-Yes.
[16:21] (Flashback) ---
    There's no doubt that this is my cat, Miiko.
[16:23] (Flashback) Mah
    That cat was discovered
    outside a few days ago,
[16:28] (Flashback) ---
    weak and lost in the rain.
[16:31] (Flashback) Wom
    Miiko...
[16:34] (Flashback) Mah
    Kamuro-san was the one who found her.
[16:38] (Flashback) Mah
    She was tending to her here.
[16:42] (Flashback) Mah
    We're all living together in this
    dorm where pets aren't allowed.
[16:46] (Flashback) Mah
    But she couldn't just abandon
    Miiko-chan in her weakened state,
[16:51] (Flashback) Mah
    so she took care of her in secret.
[16:53] (Flashback) Mah
    She didn't tell anyone and
    did it all by herself.
[17:00] (Flashback) Wom
    Is that really true?
[17:05] (Flashback) Mah
    So could you please say
    "thank you" to Kamuro-san first?
[17:16] (Flashback) Wom
    Y-You're right!
[17:18] (Flashback) Wom
    As you say, I should have thanked her first.
[17:21] (Flashback) Wom
    I'm so sorry.
[17:22] (Flashback) Wom
    I was so happy to see her,
    I forgot my manners.
[17:27] (Flashback) Rik
    Mahoro...
[17:30] (Flashback) Mah
    It's completely understandable.
[17:32] (Flashback) Mah
    You must have been so worried
    when your beloved cat went missing.
[17:37] (Flashback) Mah
    I know it's the type of thing
    that keeps you awake at night.
[17:42] (Flashback) Mah
    That's why I'm happy for Miiko-chan
    that we found her owner.
[17:46] (Flashback) Mah
    Right, Aya?
[17:55] (Flashback) Aya
    Yeah...
[18:00] (Flashback) Wom
    You took very good care of her.
[18:02] (Flashback) Wom
    She looks even better than
    when she disappeared.
[18:07] (Flashback) Aya
    Mii-chan...
[18:08] (Flashback) Aya
    Miiko-chan was such a good girl.
[18:12] (Flashback) Wom
    Kamuro-san, you saved my
    cat's life. Thank you.
[18:31] (Flashback) Rik
    There she goes.
[18:33] (Flashback) Rik
    Anyway, that was something.
[18:36] (Flashback) Mah
    What?
[18:37] (Flashback) Mih
    You were amazing, Mahoro.
[18:39] (Flashback) Mih
    I was really moved.
[18:41] (Flashback) Mah
    Th-That was no big deal.
[18:43] (Flashback) Mih
    Just what I'd expect from a former child star.
[18:47] (Flashback) Mah
    Oh, that was... just me kind
    of going with the flow...
[18:52] (Flashback) Mah
    I haven't even made it to the
    starting line of voice acting yet.
[19:01] Rik
    Mahoro's performance on
    that day was so amazing!
[19:05] Mih
    All that after saying you prefer to be alone.
[19:08] Mah
    Hey, that's just mean.
[19:10] Mah
    I never said I prefer to be alone.
[19:13] Rio
    Anyway, so that's how Aya
    overcame yet another trial...
[19:19] Aya
    Mii-chan...
[19:20] Mah
    Wait, you're still not over it?!
[19:23] Mih
    Aya...
[19:25] Rik
    Come on, let's try to be voice actresses
    who can be proud cat owners.
[19:29] Aya
    Yeah.
[19:30] Aya
    I'm okay.
[19:32] ---
    As long as she's happy, that's enough.
[19:35] Rik
    I see.
[19:37] Mih
    I think this was a necessary
    event for the four of us.
[19:42] Mah
    What do you mean?
[19:45] (Flashback) Mah
    What do you mean?
[19:46] (Flashback) Mih
    Don't you feel like trying
    everything that we can try?
[19:50] (Flashback) Mih
    The four of us?
[19:51] (Flashback) Rik
    That reminds me.
[19:53] (Flashback) Rik
    Wasn't there something you
    wanted the four of us to do?
[19:56] (Flashback) Aya
    The four of us, together?
[19:59] (Flashback) Mah
    I'd rather do it myself.
[20:01] (Flashback) Aya
    No. You have to do it with us, too.
[20:04] (Flashback) Mah
    Aya?
[20:05] (Flashback) Aya
    If it's the four of us,
    I'm sure we can make it work.
[20:09] (Flashback) Mah
    Aya...
[20:10] (Flashback) Rio
    I want us to make a radio program.
[20:13] (Flashback) Mih
    Radio?
[20:14] (Flashback) Rio
    Yeah.
[20:15] (Flashback) Rio
    I often listened to the
    radio when I was at my job.
[20:19] (Flashback) Rio
    My favorites were the programs
    that the voice actresses did.
[20:23] (Flashback) Mih
    But don't you need an invitation
    from a radio station for that?
[20:28] (Flashback) Mah
    These days, that's not the only way.
[20:30] (Flashback) Mah
    Radio can also mean web radio or podcasts
    that people put out there themselves.
[20:34] (Flashback) Rio
    So that means we could
    just do it by ourselves.
[20:38] (Flashback) Aya
    I wonder if Mii-chan and her
    owner could hear it, too.
[20:44] (Flashback) Mih
    That sounds good! Let's do it!

    and took our first step forward in
    the shape of a web radio program.
[20:59] Mah
    So thank you for being here!
[21:04] Rik
    You know, Mahoro...
[21:06] Mah
    What's so funny, Riko-chan?
[21:09] Mah
    Oh, and please make sure to

[21:19] Aya
    Gotcha.
[21:21] Rik
    Hey!
[21:22] Mah
    Don't do that again!
[21:24] Rik
    You made fun of us!
[21:26] aya
    That was funny.
[21:27] Rik
    You had me worried!
[21:28] Rik
    And it was a joke!
[21:33] Rik
    It's been a lot of fun,
    but it looks like our time is up.
[21:38] Aya
    It would make us happy if our
    listeners had some fun here, as well.
[21:42] Mih
    And we hope that you'll
    tune in again next time.
[21:47] Mah
    Like a balloon that floats through

    We hope that this show can be the
