    Hiyori Hayama-sama, thank you for
    participating in our company's audition.
[01:38] Smart phone
    Unfortunately, we will not be
    using your entry at this time...
[01:43] Hiyori
    Okay, stop. That's enough.
[01:58] Hiyori
    I've always loved singing
    ever since I was little.
[02:02] Hiyori
    Whenever I was hurting or sad,
    what comforted me the most
[02:06] Hiyori
    were the gentle songs coming
    from the radio or TV.

[02:11] Hiyori
    When I was in grade school, I got to see
    my favorite singer perform live just once.
[02:16] Hiyori
    I still remember just how
    moved I was from that.
[02:20] Hiyori
    The sparkling stage and audience.
[02:23] Hiyori
    Seeing her perform alone on that stage
    in front of tens of thousands of people
[02:28] Hiyori
    truly gave me so much courage.
[02:35] Hiyori
    I hoped that I could be like her someday.
[02:40] Hiyori
    And that's why...
[02:43] Hiyori
    I went to Tokyo so I could get a job singing.
[02:47] Hiyori
    They let me debut, but no
    real work came from that.
[02:53] Hiyori
    And I keep failing one
    audition after another.
[02:56] Hiyori
    They only put up four of
    my songs for streaming.
[02:58] Hiyori
    A total of 36 users bought them.
[03:03] Hiyori
    There are people I know who
    bought them out of pity,
[03:07] Hiyori
    so in reality, maybe no one
    actually bought my songs.
[03:14] Hiyori
    Even then, it's fine.
SIGN    From: Saki Kodaka
SIGN    Can we meet in the usual place again today?
[03:19] Hiyori
    Because there's someone who
    says she loves my songs.
[03:27] Hiyori
    Sa-chan!
[03:31] Saki
    Hiyori-senpai!
[03:39] Saki
    How'd your audition go the other day?
[03:41] Hiyori
    Yeah, it didn't work out.
[03:43] Saki
    What? But I really love that song...
[03:47] Saki
    Oh, I still listen to it every day.
[03:49] Hiyori
    That makes me really happy.
[03:53] Hiyori
    Thanks for setting everything up and even
    getting me water every time, Sa-chan.
[03:56] Saki
    No trouble at all!
    I am your first fan, after all!

SIGN    Notice of termination of artist contract
[05:34] Soda
    Hiyori-chan, I'm very sorry about this
    sudden termination of contract notice.
SIGN    I searched as hard as I could...
[05:39] Soda
    It's my fault that we weren't
    able to get your name out there.
[05:43] Soda
    With that said, Hiyori-chan,
[05:45] Soda
    why don't you try competing
    in a Hyper Sports tournament?
SIGN    Hyper Sports
[05:49] Soda
    There's a tournament where
    entertainers and idols participate.
[05:52] Soda
    Since you're really athletic, Hiyori-chan,
[05:55] Soda
    this might lead to your big break.

    CONCERT INFORMATION
[06:29] Hiyori
    Sa-chan!
[06:41] Saki
    Hiyori-senpai, why are you dressed like that?
[06:44] Hiyori
    I'm going to be competing in
    a Hyper Sports tournament.
[06:48] Hiyori
    So I figured I should practice some sports
    along with singing starting today.
[06:53] Saki
    Huh? Wha? What?!
[07:00] Saki
    I see... So that's what happened.
[07:03] Hiyori
    Yeah.
[07:04] Saki
    I'm going to be blunt here.
[07:07] Saki
    Getting into Hyper Sports is really rough.
[07:11] Saki
    Despite getting help from their Extreme Gear,
[07:13] Saki
    the competitor's skills are
    the most important thing.
[07:18] Saki
    Not to mention, the tournament
    you'll be competing in
[07:21] Saki
    is a combined competition where you'll
    be playing a different sport every time.
[07:25] Saki
    That's the toughest rule.
[07:28] Saki
    This isn't something where a high school
    singer can suddenly compete in and make it.
[07:33] Hiyori
    But if participants can continue to win,
[07:35] Hiyori
    they'll get a chance to highlight their
    music or earn the chance to perform live.
[07:41] Hiyori
    That's why I want to give it a try.
[07:43] Hiyori
    I was told I wouldn't make
    it as a singer at first,
[07:47] Hiyori
    but even then, I was able to debut.
[07:49] Hiyori
    I even got to meet someone
    who calls herself my fan.
[07:54] Saki
    I was actually playing soccer pretty
    hardcore all the way through grade school.
[08:00] Saki
    Working hard and winning is great,
    but when your hard work betrays you,
[08:04] Saki
    the pain is several times worse.
[08:06] Saki
    It's the same with people who
    are doing this out of love.
[08:09] Saki
    If your livelihood is going to
    depend on if you can win or not,
[08:12] Saki
    it's going to be really hard...
[08:16] Saki
    I don't want you to suffer
    like that, Hiyori-senpai!
[08:25] Hiyori
    I'm sorry... and thank you.
[08:29] Hiyori
    But it's because I was singing
    that I got to meet you, Sa-chan.
[08:35] Hiyori
    No matter how it turns out,
    I want to give it my all.
[08:43] Saki
    And I'm telling you that it's pointless!
[08:45] Saki
    The world of competition is
    harsher than you know!
[08:49] Hiyori
    Sa-chan! I'm always going to be here!
[09:02] Sumika
    Hello?
[09:06] Sumuka
    Saki? Hello?
[09:08] Saki
    Sumika...
[09:10] Sumika
    What's up? You sound like you're
    gonna die. Where are you?
[09:14] Saki
    Outside...
[09:16] Sumika
    Did something happen?
[09:18] Saki
    Hiyori-senpai, you know,
    the person I'm a fan of...
[09:21] Sumika
    Oh, that singer?
[09:23] Saki
    She's going to be in a
    Hyper Sports tournament.

[09:26] Saki
    I tried to talk her out of it,
    because it's too much.
[09:30] Sumika
    Uh-huh...
[09:30] Saki
    But she says she's competing, no matter what.
[09:33] Sumika
    And then you were probably like,
    "Forget you!" and ran off.
[09:38] Saki
    Yeah...
[09:39] Sumika
    I see. And you two finally
    became friends, too.
[09:43] Sumika
    So, what exactly do you want to do?
[09:46] Sumika
    Do you want to stop
    Hiyori-chan or cheer her on?
[09:49] Saki
    I...
[09:57] Sumika
    Hello! Hayama-san!
[10:04] Hiyori
    Um...
[10:06] Sumika
    You're going to be in a
    Hyper Sports tournament, right?
[10:08] Sumika
    I'll help you out.
[10:10] Sumika
    It's secondhand, but I rented out some Gear.
[10:12] Hiyori
    Um...
[10:14] Sumika
    Oh, my bad. I'm Sumika Maehara.
[10:19] Sumika
    I've been friends with Saki...
[10:21] Sumika
    ever since we were little.
[10:22] Hiyori
    Oh, I see.
[10:25] Sumika
    I'm always interested in the
    people she ends up liking,
[10:29] Sumika
    and I want to support whoever
    she wants to support.
[10:37] Sumika
    All righty. There are two major differences
    between real sports and Hyper Sports.
[10:43] Sumika
    First, the use of Extreme Gear.
[10:46] Sumika
    Extreme Gear supports the user in various ways.
[11:01] Sumika
    With a little practice, you'll be able
    to throw a miracle ball,
[11:04] Sumika
    and in dodgeball or soccer, you'll be able
    to blast people away like it's nothing.
[11:09] Sumika
    The other difference is the fact that
     playing multiple sports is a given.
[11:14] Sumika
    This honestly gets pretty rough,
    but why don't we give it a try?
[11:18] Hiyori
    Okay!
[11:36] Sumika
    Hm... I figured this would be the case,
[11:38] Sumika
    but I guess she's a real novice
    when it comes to sports.
[11:41] Sumika
    Well, if she continues practicing every
    day and starts to face reality...
[11:45] Sumika
    Maybe she'll give up.
[11:49] Sumika
    Next, I'm gonna throw a pretty high pop up.
[11:51] Hiyori
    Right!
[11:52] Sumika
    And hopefully that'll lead
    to her making up with Saki.
[11:57] Sumika
    Oh.
[11:58] Sumika
    Whoops, my bad.
[12:13] Sumika
    Wow. That was a great dash.
[12:18] Sumika
    Hm... She might be more
    interesting than I thought.
[12:22] Sumika
    Hiyorin.
[12:25] Sumika
    Let's practice a little more.
[12:27] Hiyori
    Okay!
[12:29] Sumika
    Dash to the left!
[12:30] Sumika
    Here I go!
[12:51] Sumika
    One more!
[12:52] Hiyori
    Right!
[12:53] Hiyori
    I'm ready!
[12:56] Hiyori
    Well, thanks, Sumi-chan!
[12:58] Sumika
    Sure! See you tomorrow!
[13:07] Sumika
    Middle schoolers shouldn't be out so late.
[13:10] Sumika
    Let's go home.
[13:14] Sumika
    You should stop hiding and say hi to her.
[13:17] Saki
    How am I even supposed to face her?
[13:20] Sumika
    Just as you are. I'm sure Hiyorin
    would be happy to see you.
[13:38] (Flashback) Saki
    I'm Saki Kodaka! I'm hoping to be a forward!
[13:42] Saki
    I've always loved soccer.
[13:45] Saki
    Even though practice was rough, it was
    so much fun every time I got better.
[13:50] (Flashback) Saki
    Yay!
[13:51] Saki
    And I was even happier when we won.
[13:53] Saki
    I wanted to continue winning with everyone,
[13:56] Saki
    so I practiced really hard.
[13:59] Saki
    But I started noticing
    a difference between me
[14:02] Saki
    and how the people who I thought
    were my teammates felt.
[14:04] Saki
    And then, things just kept changing.
[14:07] (Flashback) A
    It must be nice being you since
    you're so naturally talented.
[14:10] (Flashback) B
    We're just here to have fun.
[14:15] Saki
    Take it!
[14:19] Saki
    Eventually, there was no
    one to take my passes.
[14:32] Saki
    That's when I encountered
    Hiyori-senpai's songs.
[14:37] Saki
    It felt like a gentle
    embrace as I was crying.
[14:40] Saki
    It felt like her gentle
    and warm song saved me...
[14:46] Saki
    That's why I was able to continue
    playing soccer with a different team.
[14:54] Saki
    That next year was filled with a
    lot of hardships and sadness, but...
[15:15] Hiyori
    Sa-chan!
[15:33] Saki
    I'm sorry about the other day.
[15:35] Hiyori
    Oh, it's okay.
[15:38] Saki
    I'll help you out, so you won't
    have to get hurt, Hiyori-senpai.
[15:43] Hiyori
    Sa-chan... Thank you.
[15:47] Sumika
    Oh, hey, over here!
[15:54] Sumika
    We'll be having the AI players
    with us starting today, too.
[16:04] Hiyori
    It's nice to meet you.
    Thank you for playing with us.
[16:07] AI Players
    Let's play.
[16:37] Sumika
    All right, let's keep it up a little more!
[16:40] AI Players
    Right!
SIGN    1 month later
[16:58] Sumika
    I guess the prelims are finally starting.
[17:00] Hiyori
    Yeah. Sumi-chan, Sa-chan...
    Thank you for everything.
[17:06] Hiyori
    You even helped out with
    registering the team, Sumi-chan.
[17:10] Sumika
    Yeah, that can be a real pain, so I wanted
    to make sure there weren't any mistakes.
[17:18] Sumika
    Your team name is RISE.
    Like rising up, right?
[17:22] Hiyori
    I can only go up from here,
    so that was the intent.
[17:26] Saki
    It's a single-elimination tournament.
[17:29] Saki
    Hiyori-senpai, you need to...
[17:31] Hiyori
    Don't worry! I'll do my best!
[17:34] Hiyori
    I hope you'll cheer me on.
[17:41] Hiyori
    Thanks!
[17:44] Sumika
    We'll both go to the venue to cheer you on.
[17:48] Sumika
    Hiyorin really is going
    to enter alone, isn't she?
