[00:12] ---
    Maho-chan! You're late!
[00:14] ---
    S-Sorry.
[00:16] ---
    So? So? So?
[00:17] ---
    Is the new song ready?
[00:19] ---
    No, not yet.
[00:20] ---
    What?
[00:22] ---
    We were gonna do it
    at the Christmas party, right?
[00:25] ---
    It should've been done a long time ago.
[00:27] ---
    Well, yeah, it should've...
[00:31] ---
    But there's a part I'm just not feeling.
[00:34] ---
    Oh, okay.
[00:35] ---
    I wanna do the new song on stage right now!
[00:39] ---
    Rinku-san, you've been very motivated
    since Peaky P-key's Christmas party.
[00:44] ---
    Like, it got you ready to go hard?
[00:47] ---
    Yeah!
[00:48] ---
    It's like, ever since,
    I'm all fwooah, woohoo!
[00:53] ---
    I want to perform so bad! I can't hold it in!
[00:56] ---
    I don't know what you're saying,
    but I know how you feel.
[00:59] ---
    For our next performance, we gotta do our
    new song and make it the best ever!
[01:04] ---
    Yes.
[01:05] ---
    Totes.
[01:08] ---
    Yeah.
[01:10] ---
    You're right.
[03:18] ---
    "Peaky P-key Christmas party"
[03:31] ---
    That surprise guest was totally awesome!
[03:35] ---
    Rinku-chan from Happy Ara?
[03:36] ---
    I wanna see Rinku and Peaky together again!
[03:58] ---
    So did you decide who to put in next?
[04:01] ---
    Well, I've narrowed it down a lot.
[04:05] ---
    Narrowed it down? It's not going to be them?
[04:09] ---
    What's going on? Are they talking
    about adding a new member?
[04:13] ---
    Well, yeah, but you know,
    I need to keep it balanced.
[04:18] ---
    Balanced?
[04:20] ---
    We tried them out the other day,
    and they were perfect.
[04:23] ---
    But they have to get along with them too.
[04:26] ---
    You can think about it
    until the cows come home.
[04:29] ---
    They really love them online.
    Why not take them?
[04:33] ---
    Well, yeah. They are saying that.
[04:36] ---
    All right! They're mine!
[04:38] ---
    I never imagined you'd
    get into a smartphone game.
[04:42] ---
    I saw Shinobu playing, so I tried it out.
[04:45] ---
    I played a few days, and I got hooked.
[04:47] ---
    And trying out different things
    to work out the best way to win
[04:52] ---
    is just like bodybuilding!
[05:02] ---
    Oh?
[05:10] ---
    Working hard, I see.
[05:15] ---
    Here, a drink.
[05:16] ---
    Huh? Why?
[05:18] ---
    I saw you practicing while
    I was walking down the hall.
[05:21] ---
    It was kind of inspiring.
[05:31] ---
    That hits the spot!
[05:35] ---
    You're doing another
    new song next performance?
[05:38] ---
    Yeah!
[05:39] ---
    It isn't completely done yet,
    but it's really good!
[05:42] ---
    I can't wait to do it on stage!
[05:44] ---
    Oh, I know!
[05:46] ---
    I wanna invite you to our
    next performance! Will you come?
[05:48] ---
    Huh?
[05:49] ---
    Yeah, of course.
[05:51] ---
    You gave me something
    really nice at your Christmas party,
[05:56] ---
    so I wanna give something back!
[05:58] ---
    Oh.
[05:59] ---
    Um...
[06:00] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[06:10] ---
    So did you decide who to put in next?
[06:13] ---
    We tried them out the other day,
    and they were perfect.
[06:15] ---
    They really love them online.
    Why not take them?
[06:18] ---
    I wanna see Rinku and Peaky together again!
[06:25] ---
    No way, right?
[06:37] ---
    I couldn't sleep a wink.
[06:39] ---
    I'll get some coffee to wake me up.
[07:00] ---
    Waking up inside can be nice sometimes too.
[07:04] ---
    So you mean...
[07:05] ---
    Yeah, they're okay with it.
[07:06] ---
    That's awesome!
[07:08] ---
    Oh, keep this a secret
    from everyone else, okay?
[07:11] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[07:15] ---
    A secret from everyone else?!
[07:17] ---
    Peaky!
[07:18] ---
    Rinku's really going to join Peaky P-key?!
[07:22] ---
    Look forward to it.
[07:28] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[07:30] ---
    -We haven't been waiting long.
[07:30] ---
    -What took you so long?!
[07:32] ---
    Huh?
[07:33] ---
    Huh?
[07:35] ---
    Where's Maho-chan?
[07:36] ---
    She isn't coming today.
[07:37] ---
    Huh?
[07:38] ---
    She wants to focus on finishing the new song.
[07:41] ---
    She said she would go straight home today.
[07:44] ---
    Oh, okay.
[07:46] ---
    I've got resources based on
    the new song's image ready,
[07:50] ---
    but if the song isn't done soon,
    I'll have a hard job VJing.
[07:55] ---
    That is true, but Maho-san is doing her best
    to make the song even slightly better.
[08:01] ---
    I know that, but you know...
[08:16] ---
    Update: no progress.
[08:20] ---
    Maybe I need a change of pace.
[08:24] ---
    "Cafe Vinyl"
[08:25] ---
    Welcome.
[08:26] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[08:28] ---
    Your friend's waiting for you.
[08:35] ---
    What a coincidence, Maho-chan!
[08:37] ---
    Hm?
[08:38] ---
    Do you call this a coincidence?
[08:41] ---
    Um... well, yeah. Probably.
[08:47] ---
    It looks like making that
    new song is really hard.
[08:50] ---
    Uh... Yeah.
[08:52] ---
    I'm not really sure how to finish it off.
[08:55] ---
    It's a real head-scratcher.
[08:57] ---
    Is there anything I can help with?
[08:59] ---
    No, it's okay.
[09:01] ---
    You were a huge help coming up with ideas.
[09:03] ---
    It's really just the very end.
[09:06] ---
    Really?
[09:07] ---
    Don't worry, it's fine.
[09:19] ---
    H-Hey, like, Rinku...
[09:22] ---
    Hm?
[09:23] ---
    Is there anything you're hiding from us?
[09:32] ---
    N-N-No, nothing at all!
[09:34] ---
    Yeah! I-I'm not hiding anything at all!
[10:07] ---
    I fell asleep?
[10:16] ---
    I need air.
[10:21] ---
    It's freezing!
[10:23] ---
    But this'll wake me-
[10:39] ---
    Kyoko-san must've really
    invited Rinku to join Peaky P-key...
[10:48] ---
    Huh?
[10:49] ---
    Oh, sorry!
[10:57] ---
    Thanks for picking it up.
[10:59] ---
    Don't mention it.
[11:00] ---
    Come in. I'll give you a drink as thanks.
[11:02] ---
    Oh, no, it really wasn't a big deal.
[11:06] ---
    Just come in.
[11:07] ---
    I don't make debts for myself.
[11:15] ---
    Whoa! No way! Is this a MOOG?
[11:17] ---
    It's my grandpa's. He was a DJ.
[11:21] ---
    He converted this place
    so he could work from home.
[11:25] ---
    Well, it's kind of my workspace now.
[11:32] ---
    This is DJ Kunoichi's house...
[11:37] ---
    Here.
[11:40] ---
    I said it was thanks for earlier.
[11:42] ---
    Just drink it.
[11:44] ---
    Or are you more into this?
[11:46] ---
    Oh, no!
[11:49] ---
    Um...
[11:49] ---
    This is thanks for earlier, right?
[11:52] ---
    That's what I said.
[11:53] ---
    Then I'll take it, but can I ask a question?
[12:00] ---
    Rinku-is our Rinku really
    going to join Peaky P-key?
[12:07] ---
    Don't know.
[12:08] ---
    You don't know?
[12:09] ---
    At least, I haven't heard anything about it.
[12:15] ---
    But if Kyoko wants her, then I'd consider it.
[12:21] ---
    Kyoko's... kinda like that for me.
[12:28] ---
    You don't want her to join us?
[12:31] ---
    Well... yeah.
[12:34] ---
    Then why don't you stop her?
[12:41] ---
    At the Christmas party, when Rinku
    was on stage with Peaky P-key,
[12:46] ---
    she was shining really bright.
[12:50] ---
    Maybe even brighter than
    when she's performing with us.
[12:57] ---
    So if joining Peaky P-key'd
    be better for Rinku, then...
[13:05] ---
    I don't want to keep her from that!
[13:10] ---
    Then there's your answer.
[13:18] ---
    If you don't like your answer,
    then it's obvious what you should do.
[13:23] ---
    Just make your unit better than Peaky P-key.
[13:27] ---
    Huh?
[13:49] ---
    Saying that totally wasn't me.
[13:54] ---
    But if she gives up, she won't get anywhere-
[13:58] ---
    she won't get any better.
[14:01] ---
    Connecting and getting higher and hyper.
[14:05] ---
    That's what a DJ does.
[14:09] ---
    I started making music in grade school.
[14:14] ---
    I just copied whatever my grandpa did,
[14:18] ---
    and before I knew it, I was doing it myself.
[14:22] ---
    So when people around me
    said it was amazing, I didn't feel it.
[14:29] ---
    So I wanted to know if
    the music I made really was good.
[14:33] ---
    I put it online.
[14:33] ---
    "DJ Shinobin"
[14:36] ---
    And then a lot of people liked it.
[14:39] ---
    There was one person who followed
    my music closely and passionately,
[14:43] ---
    commenting on every track.
[14:46] ---
    And that was...
[14:47] ---
    "Kyo-co"
    "I love this song!!!"
[14:49] ---
    Eventually, Kyo-co started
    making their own tracks.
[14:50] ---
    "kyo-co"
[14:53] ---
    I listened to a few of them,
    and they weren't bad.
[14:58] ---
    But I also knew that I was
    way, way better than them.
[15:02] ---
    I never imagined that I'd
    meet Kyo-co in real life,
[15:05] ---
    and as soon as I got into middle school.
[15:12] ---
    Huh? You want to form a unit with me?
[15:15] ---
    I guess that's a no?
[15:16] ---
    Naturally, I turned her down.
[15:19] ---
    Because we were
    on completely different levels.
[15:24] ---
    But ever since I turned her down,
[15:31] ---
    she kept sending
    new tracks to me every day.
[15:31] ---
    "From: kyo-co"
[15:35] ---
    She'd send at least one track every week.
[15:37] ---
    Sometimes, it'd be three or four tracks.
[15:40] ---
    With every new track,
    Kyoko's work got better and better
[15:45] ---
    so fast that I'd get
    jealous listening sometimes.
[15:50] ---
    And a week before Christmas...
[15:54] ---
    "kyo-co"
[16:03] ---
    The track she sent me that day was sharp.
[16:06] ---
    It cut right through me.
[16:11] ---
    Even though it was my first time hearing it,
[16:14] ---
    I could imagine a flow
    where it would work perfectly.
[16:18] ---
    "Concert Hall 6"
[16:19] ---
    "Extremely Cool
    Concert Hall 6"
[16:25] ---
    But the audience wasn't feeling it.
[16:28] ---
    The sound left the entire audience
    in the dust, rushing on forward.
[16:33] ---
    I was pissed.
[16:35] ---
    If it were me...
[16:37] ---
    If I were at the turntable,
    I could've destroyed them with this track.
[16:45] ---
    What was with that set?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, I don't know.
[16:50] ---
    I was a complete failure today.
[16:56] ---
    Your tracks are too peaky.
[16:58] ---
    If you don't create the right flow and cut in
    at the right moment, it won't work.
[17:06] ---
    So...
[17:08] ---
    From now on...
[17:10] ---
    Let me do it right!
[17:17] ---
    You mean...
[17:24] ---
    Christmas Eve night, Kyoko and I
    had a party for just the two of us.
[17:32] ---
    It was the hypest night ever.
[17:53] ---
    You know how you called
    the song I wrote "peaky"?
[17:58] ---
    You're peaky as a person too, you know?
[18:02] ---
    Huh? What's that mean?
[18:05] ---
    Exactly what I said.
[18:07] ---
    I'm peaky.
[18:08] ---
    You're peaky.
[18:10] ---
    How about we call ourselves Peaky P-key?
[18:15] ---
    That was the moment Peaky P-key was born.
[18:21] ---
    If you want to make someone shine,
[18:23] ---
    you have to shine too.
[20:30] ---
    Yay!
[20:35] ---
    Yes? Come in!
[20:39] ---
    Kyoko-chan!
[20:42] ---
    Here you go.
[20:44] ---
    Thanks!
[20:50] ---
    See? We all match!
[20:53] ---
    I got an awesome present
    at Peaky's performance,
[20:57] ---
    so I wanted to share
    that joy with all of you too!
[21:02] ---
    But why did Kyoko-san have these?
[21:05] ---
    Oh, right!
[21:06] ---
    I didn't know what to give as a present,
[21:09] ---
    so I asked her what to do.
[21:12] ---
    She said she'd give me something in return,
[21:14] ---
    and she pulled out a shell.
[21:17] ---
    She had plenty of them,
[21:19] ---
    so I said that I could ask a friend
    of mine who makes accessories.
[21:23] ---
    She'd only pay for materials.
[21:26] ---
    Then... that was...
[21:30] ---
    Yeah, they're okay with it.
[21:32] ---
    That's awesome!
[21:33] ---
    Oh, keep this a secret
    from everyone else, okay?
[21:37] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[21:45] ---
    Huh?! What?!
[21:46] ---
    What's wrong, Maho-chan?!
[21:48] ---
    Why? Why?!
[21:49] ---
    Why are you crying?!
[23:25] ---
    Is this actually happening?
[23:27] ---
    Is our dream coming true this soon?!
[23:29] ---
    No, no, no. Complacency
    killed the cat, Maho Akashi!
[23:32] ---
    Ah! But this is awesome!
[23:34] ---
    Next time: Encounter With Light!
[23:37] ---
    What?! We're up against Photon Maiden?!
