[00:01] ---
All right! You ready for this?
[00:07] ---
Who wins this battle
and goes on to the Sunset Stage?
[00:12] ---
Happy Around!
[00:17] ---
We did it!
[00:19] ---
Thank you!
[01:59] ---
"Cafe Vinyl"
[02:00] ---
And now,
[02:02] ---
in celebration of securing
our place on the Sunset Stage...
[02:05] ---
Cheers!
[02:07] ---
Cheers!
[02:09] ---
Is there something they're celebrating?
[02:11] ---
It looks like it.
[02:13] ---
Oh?
[02:18] ---
So good!
[02:20] ---
That new song Rei sang really did the trick!
[02:24] ---
Yeah! Yeah!
[02:25] ---
We basically won thanks to you, Rei-chan!
[02:28] ---
Oh, no, it wasn't all me.
[02:31] ---
All of your hard work made it happen.
[02:33] ---
But I think you worked the hardest, Rei-chan.
[02:36] ---
Rinku, don't talk with your mouth full.
[02:40] ---
It's true. Rei doing vocals
was a huge part of it.
[02:44] ---
It'll let us do a lot more
in our performances.
[02:47] ---
We've definitely powered up.
[02:49] ---
But we can't rest on our laurels.
[02:53] ---
The real competition is yet to come.
[02:56] ---
You're right. The real competition
is the Sunset Stage at the Yoba Festival.
[03:00] ---
And we'll be up against Peaky P-key then.
[03:04] ---
We're up against Peaky P-key
on the Sunset Stage...
[03:07] ---
It's going to be so awesome!
[03:16] ---
Regarding the contest against
Happy Around! the other day...
[03:21] ---
Results are results. They can't be changed.
[03:24] ---
This will be a good lesson for you.
[03:26] ---
I expect even greater efforts in the future.
[03:29] ---
That is all.
[03:30] ---
"Locker Room"
[03:31] ---
She was a lot less harsh than I thought.
[03:33] ---
Yeah, yeah!
[03:34] ---
I thought she was gonna explode on us!
[03:37] ---
Same here. I thought she'd be a lot harder.
[03:41] ---
But, you know...
[03:43] ---
"I expect even greater
efforts in the future."
[03:46] ---
What kind of effort
are we supposed to put in?
[03:49] ---
I'm guessing she means
putting more time into practice?
[03:52] ---
Yeah.
[03:53] ---
That's about all we can do right now.
[04:08] ---
Hey, uh...
[04:09] ---
Looks hard.
[04:11] ---
Yeah, it is,
[04:13] ---
-but it's not effective if it isn't.
[04:13] ---
-That was Merm4id's "Floor Killer"!
[04:16] ---
It's a real killer, just like the title says!
[04:19] ---
Next up is one from the unit that beat
Photon Maiden to appear on the Sunset Stage!
[04:25] ---
It's Happy Around!'s latest song!
[04:28] ---
Hope you like it!
It's Happy Around! with "Brand New World."
[04:40] ---
Oh? Happy Ara can do songs like this too?
[04:43] ---
It's really mellow.
It's a real surprise considering their image.
[04:46] ---
But the audience loved it at the performance.
[04:49] ---
Oh? Were you watching their last performance?
[05:05] ---
Saki.
[05:07] ---
What are you so focused on?
[05:10] ---
I saw a new color.
[05:13] ---
It's different from the popping,
bright color they had before.
[05:16] ---
It's a calm, but deep, expansive blue.
[05:21] ---
You mean the song playing right now?
[05:29] ---
You're right. This song feels different from
what Happy Around! has always been.
[05:39] ---
I never imagined Happy Around!
doing a song like this.
[05:43] ---
And that was Happy Around!
with "Brand New World"!
[05:48] ---
Now for the next song-
[05:50] ---
but before that, we're
announcing the usual Remix Contest!
[05:55] ---
The rules are the same as always!
[05:57] ---
The next song is the song you'll remix!
Everyone's welcome to enter!
[06:01] ---
So, let's hear the song!
[06:03] ---
"Galaxy Express 999"!
[06:35] ---
This will be a good lesson for you.
[06:37] ---
I expect even greater efforts in the future.
[06:58] ---
"Yoba Academy Remix Contest"
[07:04] ---
"DJ Name"
[07:12] ---
"Submit"
[07:14] ---
"Submission Complete"
[07:17] ---
You're listening to
[07:19] ---
Lunchtime Groove!
[07:22] ---
All right, it's time to announce
the winners of the Remix Contest!
[07:27] ---
The first place winner this time is...
[07:30] ---
Well, I'm sure you've guessed it already,
but DJ Kunoichi's got first place yet again!
[07:35] ---
Man, she's a strong one!
[07:37] ---
How many first places is that now?
[07:40] ---
She's head and shoulders above
the rest, so we have to pick her.
[07:46] ---
But, but! In second place, it's DJ WILDQUEEN.
[07:50] ---
And third, DJ Maru.
[07:52] ---
Fourth, DJ Machi.
[07:53] ---
Fifth, Queen Suzuki.
[07:55] ---
And that's it!
[07:56] ---
Congratulations to all the winners!
[08:01] ---
"1st DJ Kunoichi"
[08:02] ---
Shinobu-san's just way too good.
[08:06] ---
"Misamisa's Favorites!"
[08:08] ---
Oh, right. People came to my first
performance with Rinku
[08:13] ---
because she happened to
play this on the lunchtime show.
[08:18] ---
"Misamisa's Favorites!"
[08:19] ---
"DJ DRAGON"
[08:31] ---
So this DJ DRAGON's remix was really good.
[08:37] ---
The image of the original
song is still there,
[08:39] ---
and the live sounds
are mixed in really nicely.
[08:42] ---
But there was just one problem.
[08:45] ---
Well, that probably got them
dropped from the selection.
[08:48] ---
I had this problem too. Whenever you do
a remix for the first time, you always-
[08:54] ---
Oh, need to get back to class.
[08:57] ---
Why does lunch
always have to be so short?
[08:59] ---
Yeah, I know.
It should be at least five hours.
[09:06] ---
Maho-chan!
[09:08] ---
Good morning!
[09:09] ---
Morning.
[09:11] ---
What should I have for lunch today?
[09:14] ---
You always have rice balls for lunch.
[09:16] ---
I saw a pink grasshopper earlier!
[09:18] ---
A pink grasshopper? Where'd you see that?
[09:21] ---
The Mont Blanc we had
the other day were so good!
[09:24] ---
Yeah, they were!
[09:26] ---
The one I drew yesterday got so many likes!
[09:29] ---
That's my Muni-chan!
[09:30] ---
Huh?
[09:31] ---
What's wrong, Maho-chan?
[09:32] ---
Well, I felt like I was being watched.
[09:37] ---
Huh? What?
[09:38] ---
Playing pretend celebrity?
[09:39] ---
No, I'm not! I really felt it!
[09:52] ---
You keep following me around.
[09:54] ---
What do you want?
[10:00] ---
I want you to tell me...
[10:02] ---
What did I do wrong?
[10:05] ---
Wait, so you made that remix, Izumo-san?
[10:10] ---
I overheard you talking about
what was wrong with the remix,
[10:15] ---
so I wanted to know more.
[10:17] ---
Oh, was I talking about that
yesterday at lunch?
[10:21] ---
If you just asked, I would've told you so-
[10:25] ---
Really?!
[10:26] ---
You'll tell me how to make it better?
[10:29] ---
Uh... Yeah.
[10:31] ---
If it's something I can help with.
[10:37] ---
"Merm4id"
[10:38] ---
Hello to everyone watching the channel.
[10:40] ---
I'm Rika Seto.
[10:41] ---
I'm Marika Mizushima.
[10:42] ---
I'm Saori Hidaka.
[10:43] ---
I'm Dalia Matsuyama.
[10:45] ---
Oh, Muni-chan!
[10:47] ---
Huh? Where's Maho?
[10:49] ---
She called a minute ago.
She'll be a little late today.
[10:54] ---
Basically, the sounds aren't properly
organized, so it sounds messy.
[10:59] ---
You had some amazing ideas,
but they aren't coming across.
[11:03] ---
So I think it'll be better
if you pay attention to that.
[11:06] ---
Okay.
[11:08] ---
Thank you. This is a great lesson.
[11:11] ---
Sorry to bring this up now, but you're
Saki-san from Photon Maiden, right?
[11:16] ---
I'm so sorry! I didn't introduce myself.
[11:18] ---
No, that's all right.
[11:21] ---
I was just surprised you'd
never done a remix before.
[11:26] ---
Photon Maiden's vocals
and dance are so polished,
[11:30] ---
so I imagined you guys went
hard at making music too.
[11:36] ---
Our unit's songs are all selected
by our producer to match our image.
[11:43] ---
But I want a new color.
[11:47] ---
A new color?
[11:48] ---
You created a new, different
color and moved forward.
[11:54] ---
So I want a new color
for us to move forward too.
[12:00] ---
I see. So you wanted to make
your own music and started remixing?
[12:07] ---
Yeah.
[12:10] ---
Can I ask another question?
[12:13] ---
Why did you pick "DJ DRAGON"
for your DJ name?
[12:16] ---
You don't really seem like a dragon.
[12:20] ---
That's because...
[12:21] ---
I like dragonfruit.
[12:23] ---
I-I see...
[12:50] ---
Another fun day of practice!
[12:52] ---
Ah!
[12:55] ---
Saki?!
[12:57] ---
Saki!
[12:58] ---
Saki-chan!
[12:59] ---
Are you okay?!
[13:06] ---
I was listening to a song.
[13:09] ---
Please! Don't scare us like that!
[13:11] ---
You were listening to a song? What is it?
[13:27] ---
Did you make this remix, Saki?
[13:30] ---
Yeah.
[13:31] ---
It feels pretty different.
[13:34] ---
It's like a completely different song,
but it doesn't feel like one.
[13:39] ---
When I did this remix, I saw a new color.
[14:16] ---
A different color from our
color now. A new color.
[14:28] ---
"Fluffy Omelet Rice"
[14:29] ---
You know, I ate lunch with
Rinku-chan from Happy Ara once.
[14:35] ---
Oh, when I went to the cafeteria to get you?
[14:38] ---
Yeah.
[14:39] ---
I was talking to her, and...
[14:41] ---
Of course!
[14:42] ---
Your songs are so upbeat!
They make me want to dance!
[14:45] ---
I wanna do songs like those!
[14:48] ---
You know?
[14:49] ---
But why are you telling me this now?
[14:52] ---
Huh?
[14:53] ---
Well, um...
[14:54] ---
No real reason.
[14:56] ---
Oh?
[15:15] ---
Are you okay?
[15:16] ---
Y-Yes, I'm just fine.
[15:21] ---
Sorry for scaring you.
[15:24] ---
Oh, no, I was just startled.
[15:29] ---
You're practicing really hard.
[15:31] ---
Huh? Um...
[15:33] ---
I-I'm still not good at dancing.
[15:37] ---
I need more practice.
[15:39] ---
And my singing isn't good yet either.
[15:41] ---
It's hard hearing you be so modest,
since we lost to you in that face off.
[15:47] ---
Oh, no, I didn't mean-
[15:49] ---
I'm just kidding. Don't sweat it.
[15:53] ---
The song you sang was really beautiful.
[15:58] ---
Thank you very much.
[16:00] ---
We weren't sure if I should sing that song,
or even perform it as Happy Around!
[16:09] ---
It was so different from
the songs we did until then.
[16:11] ---
I thought it wouldn't be
Happy Around! to do it.
[16:15] ---
But Rinku-chan said...
[16:17] ---
Me and Maho-chan
[16:20] ---
and Muni-chan
[16:21] ---
and Rei-chan!
[16:21] ---
We're Happy Ara together!
[16:23] ---
So a Rei-chan song
can't not be like Happy Ara!
[16:28] ---
After she said that, I decided to do it.
[16:43] ---
"Me and Maho-chan and Muni-chan and
Rei-chan. We're Happy Ara together," huh?
[16:55] ---
Do Saki-chan's remix on stage?
[16:58] ---
Wait, wait!
[17:00] ---
But all the stuff we've
done on stage until now...
[17:03] ---
Yeah. The songs, arrangements,
and choreography
[17:06] ---
were all what our producer
selected to match our image.
[17:10] ---
Exactly! So even if we say we want
to do that remix, she won't let us!
[17:16] ---
Yeah, probably.
[17:17] ---
If it'll break down the image
we've built as Photon Maiden,
[17:20] ---
she's most likely going to reject it.
[17:26] ---
But if...
[17:27] ---
Let's say she does give us the okay.
[17:29] ---
I kind of want to do that remix on stage.
[17:33] ---
Not that I don't like the songs
we do as Photon now,
[17:37] ---
but I want to try a lot
of different kinds of music.
[17:41] ---
Towa...
[17:46] ---
If you all agree to it, I want to ask
our producer if we can do this remix.
[17:56] ---
I've listened to Izumo's remix.
[18:08] ---
The quality is sufficient to perform.
[18:10] ---
You are allowed to put it in
the set list for your next performance.
[18:13] ---
Huh?
[18:16] ---
Um...
[18:17] ---
Are you sure about this?
[18:18] ---
Why the puzzled expression?
[18:20] ---
You four asked if you could do it.
[18:23] ---
Well, that is true...
[18:24] ---
I believe I told you this.
[18:27] ---
"This will be a good lesson for you.
I expect even greater efforts in the future."
[18:32] ---
You will show me what results
your new efforts will bring about.
[18:38] ---
"REBirth"
"Photon Maiden"
[18:42] ---
Oh no! What do we do?! It's gonna start soon!
[18:46] ---
Hey, what's the point in chickening out now?
[18:48] ---
But, but! What if we do that remix
and they say it isn't Photon Maiden?!
[18:55] ---
It's true that we're taking a risk.
[18:58] ---
But the four of us don't perform
Photon Maiden's music.
[19:03] ---
Photon Maiden's music is
what the four of us perform.
[23:25] ---
Muni-chan! Muni-chan!
[23:26] ---
Can I come over again today?
[23:28] ---
Sure, that's fine.
[23:29] ---
Yay! I'm beating that
final boss today for sure!
[23:31] ---
You'd better put the controller away
once you're done playing that game.
[23:35] ---
Okay!
[23:35] ---
Next time: Childhood Friends.
[23:37] ---
Hey! You left it out again!
