It's the new age of Extreme Gear.
**[00:03] Narrator**
Hyper Sports is about to evolve.
***SIGN*** The festival for girls, Hyper Sports: Extreme Hearts...

* The festival for girls,*
* Hyper Sports: Extreme Hearts...*
**[00:11] Hazuki**
*is about to begin!*
**[00:13] Tomo**
*We, the members of May-Bee...*
**[00:15] May Bee**
*...will do our best!*
**[00:56] Hiyori**
Hup.

*Subject: Re: Theme song audition.*
**[01:32] Smart phone**
* 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.*

Hiyori Hayama Debut Single

"We Can Meet in the Blue Skies"
**[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!
**[04:03] Song**
*Just like the trees swaying in the wind*
**[04:16] Song**
*These countless voices pass by each other*
**[04:22] Song**
*Without knowing each other's names*
**[04:30] Song**
* On lonely days when I walk*
* down this unknown path*
**[04:43] Song**
*I always hold your smile close to my heart*
**[04:54] Song**
* Even if my dreams are faraway,*
* I'll continue running*
**[05:03] Song**

***SIGN*** SG Productions
***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,*

*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] Sign**
MVP Award
**[09:26] Sign**
MVP Award
**[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?
**[17:52] Saki**
Yeah...
**[17:56] Announcer**

Goal! That's a seven-point lead!
**[20:02] Saki**
This is why I told her
she couldn't do it alone.
**[20:05] Saki**
No matter how hard you try,
all that waits is pain.
**[20:09] Sumika**
Saki, we need to watch this properly.
**[20:12] Sumika**
Hiyorin's fighting out there.
**[20:22] Sumika**
Are you going to go home crying because
it's like watching your past self out there?
**[20:28] Sumika**
What are you going to do?
**[20:35] Announcer**
Sparkle is dominating court 1
with a twelve-point lead.
**[20:38] Announcer**
The newcomer team, RISE,
is definitely struggling.
**[20:41] Aoi**

I hope we can see each other here again.
