[00:02] ---
    Maybe...
[00:05] ---
    this girl...
[00:07] ---
    can take me where I've always wanted to go.
[01:49] ---
    "Next Step"
[01:51] ---
    Show en har he hooing har perhormack?
[01:55] ---
    I can't tell what you're trying to say.
[01:58] ---
    I said, when are we doing our performance?
[02:01] ---
    Tomorrow? The day after?
[02:03] ---
    Or do we start right now?
[02:05] ---
    Get off me!
[02:07] ---
    It's not that easy to do a performance.
[02:11] ---
    There's a lot of stuff you need to do first.
[02:15] ---
    First, you book a concert hall on campus.
[02:19] ---
    You come up with a set list.
[02:21] ---
    You make flyers and post them.
[02:24] ---
    You advertise on social media.
[02:28] ---
    In the first place, what kind of
    performance do you want?
[02:36] ---
    You don't know?
[02:37] ---
    Well, in any case, maybe you should
    learn some more basics.
[02:57] ---
    Okay, we'll start with
    the basic song transitions.
[03:08] ---
    To raise and lower the volume of the song
    on the speakers, you use this fader.
[03:17] ---
    And to raise and lower the volume
    of the next song, you use this one.
[03:27] ---
    Then...
[03:29] ---
    You adjust the balance with the equalizer...
[03:34] ---
    then you raise the volume on this one...
[03:41] ---
    It's a transition!
[03:43] ---
    That was a blend.
[03:46] ---
    Next, I'll do a cut.
[03:49] ---
    You can hear the next
    song on your headphones.
[03:52] ---
    While listening to it, you find
    the mix point, or where you want to do it.
[04:00] ---
    Ooh! It went, like, bang!
[04:03] ---
    Right, you slide it, like, bang.
[04:05] ---
    Like, bang!
[04:06] ---
    Then let's try doing a blend.
[04:35] ---
    Happy Around!
[04:41] ---
    Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!
[04:52] ---
    Yeah, I think that's what you should do.
[04:54] ---
    Huh?
[04:57] ---
    I'll be the DJ. You'll be a dancer.
[05:00] ---
    Let's go with that.
[05:01] ---
    Dancer?
[05:03] ---
    I just have to dance along with the music?
[05:07] ---
    What do you mean, "just"?
[05:08] ---
    We're going to perform
    in front of an audience.
[05:11] ---
    You at least need to learn
    how to do some basic steps.
[05:14] ---
    Oh!
[05:15] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:17] ---
    And I'm going to come up with a set list,
[05:19] ---
    so you need to come up with
    choreography for the songs.
[05:22] ---
    Set list?
[05:26] ---
    You don't know?!
[05:32] ---
    There are a lot of basic
    dance steps out there.
[05:37] ---
    "Box Step"
[05:41] ---
    This is a box step.
[05:44] ---
    And this a heel toe.
[05:45] ---
    "Heel Toe"
[05:52] ---
    "Running Man"
[05:52] ---
    The running man.
[05:56] ---
    "Popcorn"
[05:56] ---
    Popcorn...
[06:04] ---
    "Popcorn"
[06:14] ---
    I need to do this one and this one.
[06:18] ---
    I'll start with this,
[06:20] ---
    then hype it up with this...
[06:25] ---
    No, this goes second last.
[06:28] ---
    No, I really don't want to decide
    the whole mixset off the floor...
[06:34] ---
    But I don't want to mess up during the set...
[06:39] ---
    Argh! My head's spinning!
[06:45] ---
    It's going to be my first performance.
[06:48] ---
    I want it to go off without a hitch.
[06:52] ---
    Oh.
[06:56] ---
    It's not just mine.
[07:01] ---
    It's mine and hers. It's our performance.
[07:06] ---
    Oh, right. I still don't know
    anything about her.
[07:35] ---
    Huh?
[07:42] ---
    Looks like you're practicing hard.
[07:44] ---
    Maho-chan!
[07:45] ---
    I wanted to ask what songs to put on.
[07:49] ---
    Huh?
[07:51] ---
    L-Like, what songs you can get
    really hype and dance to?
[07:55] ---
    I thought it'd be good to get your input.
[07:58] ---
    After all, it's both mine and
    yours-it's our performance.
[08:04] ---
    Yeah!
[08:08] ---
    "Welcome to Our First Performance"
    "DJ Mash & Link"
[08:13] ---
    This flyer is a total disaster!
[08:17] ---
    How could anyone even think
    about putting this up in public?
[08:22] ---
    Huh?
[08:23] ---
    "DJ Mash & Link"
[08:26] ---
    Huh...
[08:33] ---
    We booked a concert hall
    and started advertising,
[08:37] ---
    but we're not getting many responses.
[08:39] ---
    But we made that flyer together.
    If people see it...
[08:44] ---
    That flyer?
[08:45] ---
    It'll get some eyes, but frankly, those only
    attract people who were already interested.
[08:52] ---
    So it's pretty useless for advertising a new
    unit doing their first performance like us.
[09:00] ---
    At this rate, we might have an empty floor.
[09:05] ---
    No way!
[09:06] ---
    -But I want people to see our performance!
[09:07] ---
    -And that was RONDO's "Movement"!
[09:11] ---
    -Before the next song,
[09:11] ---
    -I mean, I want that too, but...
[09:13] ---
    -we have an announcement for you!
[09:16] ---
    It's that time again! Another ever-famous
    Yoba Academy Remix Contest!
[09:21] ---
    The rules are the same as always.
[09:23] ---
    The next song is the song you'll remix!
    Everyone's welcome to enter!
[09:27] ---
    We'll select five top entries and put
    them on this program next month!
[09:34] ---
    All you aspiring DJs and beat makers
    out there, we're waiting for you!
[09:39] ---
    All right, here's the song!
[09:41] ---
    "Feeling Good"!
[09:42] ---
    Listen close!
[09:55] ---
    That's it!
[09:56] ---
    What's it?
[09:57] ---
    This is!
[10:01] ---
    The Yoba Academy Remix Contest,
    or "Remicon" for short!
[10:05] ---
    Students from all over the school
    remix the same song,
[10:09] ---
    and the top five entries are selected!
[10:12] ---
    But here in Yoba Academy,
    where DJing is king,
[10:16] ---
    the number of entries is vast,
    and their quality high!
[10:20] ---
    So if we can get selected for it,
    we'll get a ton of attention,
[10:24] ---
    and everyone'll be dying to see us perform!
[10:28] ---
    Ooh!
[10:31] ---
    So...
[10:32] ---
    What's a remix?
[10:34] ---
    I should've expected that.
[10:39] ---
    Okay, so a remix is a remix of a song.
[10:46] ---
    Basically, you keep part
    of the original song-the melody-
[10:51] ---
    and you change up the rhythm and bassline,
[10:55] ---
    and then apply filters and effects.
[11:00] ---
    Okay, I get it. I'll just do one real quick.
[11:08] ---
    I guess that should do it.
[11:10] ---
    This is the original song.
[11:20] ---
    And this is the remixed song.
[11:30] ---
    I think I like the original more.
[11:33] ---
    Th-This was just a quick one
    to show what a remix was.
[11:38] ---
    I only switched out a track with samples.
[11:41] ---
    If I do it right-
[11:42] ---
    You'll get a super awesome song!
[11:44] ---
    O-Of course!
[11:48] ---
    Easy for me to say.
[11:51] ---
    I've never entered the Remicon before.
[11:56] ---
    Honestly, I don't think I can do this.
[12:01] ---
    Cut that out! You can worry
    after you're done, DJ Mash!
[12:08] ---
    After all...
[12:16] ---
    Today's rice ball is Japanese curry pilaf!
[12:20] ---
    Wait for lunch right here like a good girl!
[12:27] ---
    Huh?
[12:39] ---
    What do you think?
[12:41] ---
    It's really good!
[12:43] ---
    I wanna dance to it right away!
[12:46] ---
    I guess it was worth
    staying up all night to finish.
[12:49] ---
    So that's why you look like a raccoon?
[12:52] ---
    At least say "like a panda."
[12:55] ---
    I finished it around sunrise this morning.
[12:58] ---
    I wanted you to hear it first.
[13:02] ---
    You could've sent it to me in an e-mail.
[13:05] ---
    Huh?
[13:06] ---
    No, um, I wanted to see your face
    when you were listening.
[13:14] ---
    Happy Aro-
[13:15] ---
    No, not here!
[13:21] ---
    "Submit"
[13:22] ---
    Okay, I'm going to submit it.
[13:25] ---
    Can I press the button with you?
[13:27] ---
    Huh? Okay.
[13:29] ---
    Then let's press on three.
[13:32] ---
    Okay.
[13:33] ---
    One, two, three!
[13:34] ---
    "Submit"
[13:36] ---
    "Submission Complete"
[13:42] ---
    Oh, welcome.
[13:43] ---
    Hello.
[13:45] ---
    Your usual seat's available.
[13:47] ---
    Well, all the others are too.
[14:04] ---
    "Rinku?"
[14:23] ---
    Wh-What should I do?
[14:25] ---
    I'm so nervous...
[14:26] ---
    I ate it all before lunch!
[14:29] ---
    You get hungrier when you're nervous?!
[14:31] ---
    It's what you've all been waiting for!
    The winners of the Remix Contest!
[14:37] ---
    The number one track this time goes to...
[14:40] ---
    DJ Kunoichi!
[14:42] ---
    Yes, from the peak unit at this school,
    Peaky P-key, it's DJ Kunoichi!
[14:49] ---
    Running away with number one again this time!
[14:51] ---
    So let's hear the song! "Feeling Good
    snipe mix" by DJ Kunoichi!
[15:02] ---
    W-Well, I really didn't think I'd get first.
[15:06] ---
    Totally expected. Totally.
[15:12] ---
    Good job, Shinobu.
[15:14] ---
    Sure, thanks.
[15:16] ---
    How many first places does that make?
[15:18] ---
    Was it three? Or four?
[15:23] ---
    It's five.
[15:24] ---
    Wow!
[15:25] ---
    Everyone else here just sucks.
[15:31] ---
    And in second place, Natural Sisters!
[15:34] ---
    And the rest. Third place,
    DJ Yellow Alert.
[15:38] ---
    Fourth, Underwild.
[15:39] ---
    Fifth, DJ Menma. That's all, folks!
[15:42] ---
    Congratulations, everyone who won!
[15:46] ---
    If you didn't win this time, don't get down!
    Try again next time!
[15:51] ---
    Seriously, there were a lot of great tracks.
    The judges had a hard time.
[15:57] ---
    There's one track that got me all hyped up.
[15:59] ---
    I'm in charge of Lunchtime Groove
    this week. I think I'll play it!
[16:04] ---
    It's a new girl with her first ever entry!
    Let's give her a newcomer award!
[16:09] ---
    "Feeling Good smash mix" by DJ Mash!
[16:13] ---
    Huh?
[16:22] ---
    We did it!
[16:24] ---
    Yeah!
[16:28] ---
    Hey, this DJ Mash was in the Remix Contest!
[16:32] ---
    They played the track during lunch.
    It was pretty good.
[16:36] ---
    They're doing a performance soon!
    Wanna check it out?
[16:39] ---
    Yeah, let's go!
[16:44] ---
    Considering the room acoustics,
    I should add some more kick.
[16:49] ---
    But I don't want the range to get
    compressed with higher sound pressure.
[16:56] ---
    Hey, Maho-chan, what're you doing?
[17:00] ---
    I want to put my remix on
    during our performance.
[17:04] ---
    I'm adjusting it for that.
[17:05] ---
    It was already super hype.
    You can't just put it on?
[17:09] ---
    Well, I could, but like, you know,
[17:14] ---
    I want it to be the best it can be.
[17:18] ---
    And what the heck are you eating?
[17:21] ---
    Celery.
[17:22] ---
    Why celery?
[17:24] ---
    Because I like it!
[17:29] ---
    Hey, Maho-chan.
[17:31] ---
    Hm?
[17:32] ---
    What if I sang your remix
    during our performance?
[17:37] ---
    Oh, that might be nice.
[17:40] ---
    Huh?
[17:41] ---
    What?!
[17:42] ---
    That remix-I've been listening to it
    ever since you gave it to me.
[17:46] ---
    I can even sing it now!
[17:48] ---
    You can even sing it?
[17:51] ---
    Then I'll play only the backing track.
[17:53] ---
    Try singing it right now.
[18:06] ---
    That's kind of what I've got.
[18:08] ---
    How was it?
[18:09] ---
    It's good.
[18:10] ---
    That was really good!
[18:13] ---
    They'll get totally hype!
[18:18] ---
    That performance with
    DJ Mash is today! Wanna go?
[18:22] ---
    You bet.
[18:33] ---
    They're already here!
[18:35] ---
    It's a lot more than I thought...
[18:38] ---
    I guess it's thanks to the Remicon?
[18:40] ---
    Maho-chan, what should I do?
[18:42] ---
    I can feel my heart pounding!
[18:45] ---
    Are you feeling nervous?
[18:47] ---
    Nope. I'm super excited!
[18:50] ---
    What about you, Maho-chan?
[18:52] ---
    Naturally, I am too.
[18:54] ---
    "Welcome to Our First Performance
    DJ Mash & Link"
[19:02] ---
    "DJ Mash & Link"
[19:10] ---
    Yay!
[19:20] ---
    Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!
[19:24] ---
    Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!
[19:36] ---
    Hi!
[20:58] ---
    "Concert Hall 6"
[21:04] ---
    Yahoo!
[21:10] ---
    Yay!
[21:12] ---
    Yay!
[21:15] ---
    We did it, Rinku!
[21:17] ---
    Huh?
[21:21] ---
    Maho-chan, that's the first time
    you've called me "Rinku."
[21:26] ---
    Huh? Is it?
[21:30] ---
    Yeah!
[23:25] ---
    I mean, I'll admit I'm not good at drawing,
[23:28] ---
    "Basics 01: What's a VJ?"
[23:29] ---
    but did she need to be that vicious?
[23:32] ---
    It kind of hurts.
[23:34] ---
    Next time: Only Me!
[23:35] ---
    "Only Me"
[23:36] ---
    Well, we're good together, so whatever!
