**[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!
