[00:30] ---
    Hey, hey, hey, sometimes
    you gotta start a movement
[00:36] ---
    Always meeting everyone's
    expectations for a wonderful, fun time
[00:39] ---
    Just gotta stop doing it
[00:42] ---
    If you don't do something yourself,
    nothing's going to happen tonight
[00:47] ---
    Shout out and break out of your shell!
[00:53] ---
    Wow wow war wow war tonight
[00:59] ---
    Wow wow war wow war forever
[01:04] ---
    Wow wow war wow war tonight
[01:10] ---
    Wow wow war wow war forever
[02:46] ---
    "Concert Hall 6"
[03:26] ---
    Yay!
[03:28] ---
    It's great that they were fired up,
    but it's so hot on stage!
[03:32] ---
    So, I've been meaning to ask,
    but what's that on your head?
[03:38] ---
    Nyochio.
[03:56] ---
    What? That's it?!
[03:59] ---
    So her name's Nyochio-chan?
[04:01] ---
    Nice to meet you, Nyochio-chan!
[04:31] ---
    "Cafe Vinyl"
[04:34] ---
    Yeah, looks like they loved
    yesterday's performance.
[04:38] ---
    Obviously, they would.
    I was just that good of a VJ.
[04:42] ---
    I know, right? I know, right?!
[04:43] ---
    The visuals you made were so awesome!
[04:46] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:48] ---
    Thanks.
[04:50] ---
    I'm so glad we could
    do it with you, Muni-chan!
[04:53] ---
    People are definitely spreading the word.
[04:56] ---
    At this rate, we might get on
    the Sunset Stage at the school festival!
[05:01] ---
    Sunset Stage?
[05:04] ---
    What's that?
[05:05] ---
    It's a performance contest
    at the school festival.
[05:08] ---
    Only the top eight units
    in the school get to compete.
[05:13] ---
    And we're gonna be in it?
[05:16] ---
    Maybe. We might.
[05:19] ---
    To get in, we need
    to keep building our popularity.
[05:24] ---
    Should we enter another Remix Contest?
[05:28] ---
    The next Remicon is still a ways off.
[05:31] ---
    Then why not enter this?
[05:35] ---
    "Photon Maiden Song Audition"
[05:40] ---
    We are seeking new talent.
[05:44] ---
    The only requirement is an original song
    reflecting Photon Maiden's image.
[05:50] ---
    The winning entry will become
    Photon Maiden's next song.
[05:55] ---
    This is Photon Maiden's thing.
[05:57] ---
    You know them, Maho-chan?
[06:00] ---
    A major record label held
    an audition and put together this unit.
[06:04] ---
    They debuted just recently, but everyone's
    calling them the new hotness.
[06:10] ---
    Then it's perfect to make us hotness too!
[06:13] ---
    When we win, we'll get
    super popular for sure!
[06:17] ---
    When we win?
    This contest is on a whole other level.
[06:24] ---
    We'd need to create an original song
    reflecting Photon Maiden's image.
[06:28] ---
    The pros are probably
    gonna enter this one too.
[06:32] ---
    Maho.
[06:32] ---
    Huh?
[06:33] ---
    I know you can do it.
[06:36] ---
    Wait, it's all on me?!
[06:38] ---
    No, it's not! I'll help you too!
[06:41] ---
    What?! Hold on, I never said I'd do it!
[06:44] ---
    Let's do it, Maho-chan!
[06:46] ---
    Making a song together's gonna be fun!
[06:49] ---
    Well, I can make beats, but melodies...
[06:54] ---
    It'd be nice to have someone who
    plays guitar or keyboard to help.
[06:59] ---
    Keyboard?
[07:01] ---
    Like the piano.
[07:02] ---
    Got it!
[07:03] ---
    Then I'll learn the piano!
[07:05] ---
    Huh?!
[07:14] ---
    Fa, so, so, so.
[07:19] ---
    So, mi, mi, mi.
[07:23] ---
    Fa, re, re, re.
[07:28] ---
    Do, mi, so-
[07:34] ---
    So, so.
[07:36] ---
    Mi, mi, mi.
[07:42] ---
    Um...
[07:43] ---
    Huh?
[08:26] ---
    You're good at the piano!
[08:28] ---
    I've been playing it since I was little.
[08:31] ---
    Hey, hey! Can you teach me how to play?
[08:33] ---
    Huh?
[08:34] ---
    Can you? Please?
[08:36] ---
    Oh...
[08:58] ---
    Thanks for teaching me how to play the piano!
[09:02] ---
    This is thanks for today!
[09:21] ---
    When I first started learning piano,
    I was just like her.
[09:33] ---
    Good! Very good, Rei!
[09:36] ---
    Togetsu-san, you have a talent for the piano!
[09:39] ---
    What's wrong, Rei?
[09:40] ---
    You can do better than that.
[09:42] ---
    You can surely become a world-class pianist.
[09:46] ---
    No, I will make you one!
[09:48] ---
    You will place in the next
    competition at any cost.
[09:51] ---
    Do you understand?
[09:52] ---
    Hey, Rei, do you actually enjoy piano?
[09:56] ---
    Rei, Mom just wants what's best for you.
[10:55] ---
    That's great, Rinku!
[10:58] ---
    This is gonna take a while.
[11:02] ---
    Oh! Master!
[11:04] ---
    Oh, Aimoto-san.
[11:06] ---
    Who's that?
[11:07] ---
    This is Master Rei-chan!
[11:09] ---
    Master Rei-chan is really good at piano!
[11:12] ---
    Aimoto-san, "Master" is a bit...
[11:15] ---
    Huh?
[11:15] ---
    Then can I call you Rei-chan?
[11:17] ---
    Y-Yes.
[11:19] ---
    Uh... Rinku, did you get her
    to teach you piano?
[11:24] ---
    Yeah!
[11:25] ---
    Wouldn't it be faster if she just helped
    us instead of teaching you piano?
[11:31] ---
    Oh!
[11:39] ---
    Um, I understand the situation,
    but I can't help with writing a song.
[11:44] ---
    I never learned how to compose music.
[11:48] ---
    Oh, no, we're not asking for a whole song.
[11:51] ---
    Try playing something that fits this beat.
[12:03] ---
    Ooh!
[12:09] ---
    That was great!
[12:11] ---
    Yeah! It was a really pretty melody!
[12:13] ---
    Um, that was Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23.
[12:20] ---
    Uh... Basically, something like that's fine,
[12:23] ---
    but you'd come up with a phrase
    that fits the beat yourself.
[12:27] ---
    Would you mind trying?
[12:35] ---
    I don't know how good it would be, but I can.
[12:39] ---
    So you'll do it?!
[12:40] ---
    Y-Yes.
[12:42] ---
    Happy Around!
[13:22] ---
    Um... How were they?
[13:25] ---
    I made three of them to see if any are good.
[13:30] ---
    None of them really do it for me.
[13:33] ---
    Really?
[13:35] ---
    I think the last one was pretty good.
[13:37] ---
    Yeah, I thought it wasn't bad.
[13:40] ---
    But I think something
    more emotional would be better.
[13:44] ---
    Emotional?
[13:46] ---
    I think something more hopping
    would get me dancing!
[13:50] ---
    I want flashy.
[13:55] ---
    Flashy, and hopping, but emotional...
[14:17] ---
    Yeah. Let's go with this.
[14:20] ---
    You two good with it too?
[14:21] ---
    Yeah!
[14:21] ---
    I think-
[14:22] ---
    Do you think you could play it one more time?
[14:24] ---
    Y-Yes.
[14:25] ---
    You recorded this one with your phone mic?
[14:28] ---
    Oh, yes. On the piano in the music room.
[14:31] ---
    Hm... Recording a real piano?
[14:35] ---
    Maybe play it again on a keyboard first?
[14:37] ---
    Or should I flesh out the beat more first?
[14:42] ---
    And then...
[14:43] ---
    Um... Did she actually like it?
[14:45] ---
    I think she did.
[14:47] ---
    Looks like she's already planning around it.
[14:49] ---
    And...
[14:51] ---
    I-I kind of liked it too.
[15:09] ---
    I hope it turns into a lovely song.
[15:33] ---
    What do you think?
[15:35] ---
    I think it's good.
[15:36] ---
    It's awesome! Totally awesome!
[15:38] ---
    What about you?
[15:39] ---
    Yes. I think it was good too.
[15:43] ---
    Then I'll enter with this.
[15:45] ---
    This'll win us the prize for sure.
[15:47] ---
    Really?!
[15:48] ---
    You know it.
[15:50] ---
    Happy-
[15:51] ---
    It's too early for that.
[15:53] ---
    Hold it for when we actually win it.
[15:56] ---
    Huh...
[15:58] ---
    Hm...
[15:59] ---
    Then...
[16:01] ---
    Happy Ara!
[16:02] ---
    What's that?
[16:03] ---
    A short version of "Happy Around!"
[16:06] ---
    S-So like a radio edit?
[16:10] ---
    "Cafe Vinyl"
[16:22] ---
    Hey, is it here yet?
[16:23] ---
    They announce it today, right?
[16:26] ---
    They should be sending e-mails
    to entrants about now...
[16:30] ---
    This is somewhat nerve-racking.
[16:33] ---
    We know that our song is going to win.
[16:36] ---
    Just wait for the results.
    No need to be antsy.
[16:40] ---
    You know your hands are shaking, right?
[16:44] ---
    Th-This is a symptom of my tendonitis
    because art gods get tendonitis!
[16:49] ---
    I'm not nervous or anything!
[16:51] ---
    Hey, is it here yet?
[16:53] ---
    Maho-chan!
[16:55] ---
    I'm not sending it, you know.
[17:29] ---
    Oh, barkeep...
[17:30] ---
    They don't need background music!
[17:32] ---
    Right!
[17:35] ---
    Avocado.
[17:36] ---
    Omelet.
[17:37] ---
    Tapioca.
[17:38] ---
    Didn't that end with an "e"?
[17:38] ---
    It's my fault.
[17:39] ---
    It's fine.
[17:40] ---
    What?
[17:41] ---
    If only I were better...
[17:42] ---
    Artichoke.
[17:43] ---
    E... E... Eggplant!
[17:45] ---
    Tomato.
[17:46] ---
    Orangelo.
[17:47] ---
    Oroblanco.
[17:48] ---
    Oroblanco? What's that?
[17:59] ---
    Yeah, sounds good! Let's do it!
[18:02] ---
    Oh!
[18:03] ---
    We've been waiting for you, Rei-chan!
[18:04] ---
    We were just talking about doing
    that song at our next performance!
[18:09] ---
    That song? The one that lost?
[18:12] ---
    Yeah. We made it together,
    so it'll be our new song instead!
[18:17] ---
    But we'll need to write lyrics first,
[18:20] ---
    and we need to rearrange it for our image.
[18:24] ---
    You're right. It isn't something
    Rinku would sing to right now.
[18:28] ---
    Yeah.
[18:29] ---
    Can you help us with the arrangement?
[18:32] ---
    Y-Yes, if you don't mind me.
[18:35] ---
    All right! We're doing our first original
    song at our next performance!
[18:40] ---
    Yeah!
[18:41] ---
    Yeah?
[18:45] ---
    Oh? They're going to put on
    an original song at their next performance.
[18:50] ---
    You mean the unit
    you got interested in lately?
[18:54] ---
    Yeah.
[18:55] ---
    I checked out their last performance,
    and it was pretty fun. I liked it.
[18:59] ---
    Oh? Then should we check out their next one?
[19:03] ---
    I'll pass.
[19:04] ---
    Oh, Shinobu-chan, you're so cool!
[19:07] ---
    No. I just don't want to waste time
    on things I don't care about.
[19:13] ---
    D-Do your best on stage.
[19:16] ---
    Hey, what are you getting all nervous for?
[19:19] ---
    I-I'm so sorry.
[19:21] ---
    I just feel nervous.
[19:23] ---
    Let's go get 'em.
[19:25] ---
    Yeah.
[19:28] ---
    We're gonna do that new song good!
[21:05] ---
    They totally loved that new song!
[21:07] ---
    Yeah!
[21:08] ---
    Well, I did make
    an entirely new visual for it.
[21:11] ---
    That's what made it-
[21:12] ---
    Everyone.
[21:13] ---
    You were lovely on stage.
[21:15] ---
    Huh? What're you crying for?
[21:18] ---
    Hey, they did love the new song she wrote.
[21:21] ---
    Who wouldn't get a little teary-eyed?
[21:24] ---
    What?! Hey, not you too!
[21:26] ---
    I don't get why, but I'm crying too!
[21:31] ---
    Oh, what is with you?!
[21:34] ---
    Come on, let's do it!
[21:37] ---
    Come on! Don't just stand there!
[21:38] ---
    You're doing it too!
[21:41] ---
    Oh.
[21:42] ---
    Yes.
[21:43] ---
    Now let's do it!
[21:44] ---
    -Yay!
[21:45] ---
    -Yay?
[23:25] ---
    How much time and effort do you think
    goes into the visual for one song?!
[23:29] ---
    You make something original, create
    all the resources, think of the situation,
[23:33] ---
    and make a cute, Mu-nique, one-and-only-
[23:35] ---
    Next time: One and Only!
[23:37] ---
    What about me?!
