[00:11] Hiyori
This is brutal... but fun!
[00:19] Hiyori
How far can I get if I just keep running?
[00:24] Hiyori
What will I find there?
[00:30] Hiyori
I want to try it and see!
[00:36] Hiyori

Do you get that?!
[01:18] Uchida
I need an explanation for this.
[01:20] Hiyori
What'd he do wrong?
[01:23] Hiyori
He looks about my age.
[01:25] Hiyori
Wow, he sure doesn't seem sorry.
[01:32] Hiyori
Maybe Tokyo's a little scary after all.
[01:38] Hiyori
I got this. Ya didn't have to call me.
[01:42] Hiyori's Mom
Listen, ya can't afford to be
late for the entrance ceremony!

Congratulations on being accepted here.
[04:13] Hiyori
Thank you very much!
[04:17] Arisa
Welcome to our school.
[04:23] Hiyori
How pretty!
[04:28] Hiyori
As of today I, Suzumi Hiyori, am a
Sakuragaoka High School first-year!
[04:33] Hiyori
My new school life...
[04:37] Hiyori
starts now!
[04:40] Hiyori
So...
[04:41] Hiyori
Where am I?!
[04:43] Hiyori
How many classes are there here?!
My middle school only had two!
[04:48] Hiyori
I'm all turned around!
[04:52] Hina
Is something wrong?
[04:56] Hiyori
Yes! I'm lost! Where are
the first-year classrooms?!
[05:03] Hina
Go down these stairs and take a left.
[05:08] Hiyori
Thank you very much!
[05:11] Hina
Bye!
[05:14] Hina
First-years are so young and adorable.
[05:18] Kotaro
You're not much different, Hina.
[05:21] Hina
I'm not talking about looks!
[05:24] Hina
Don't act like you're so mature just
because you grew a few centimeters.
[05:28] Ken
She's right.
[05:30] Ken
Look at her, Kotaro.
[05:32] Ken
Setoguchi's the one who's
developed nicely here.
[05:35] Kotaro
That's not what we're
talking about, Shibaken!
[05:40] Kodai
Quiet down.
[05:43] Kotaro
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing
which newbies join the soccer team.
[05:48] Hina
Better make sure some first-year rookie
[05:50] Hina
doesn't steal your shot
at the starting lineup.
SIGN Keep quiet in the hallway
[05:53] Kotaro
As if I'd mess that up!
[05:55] Hina
I have my doubts.
[05:56] Ken
So, Kodai!
[05:58] Ken
Shall we go find some potential
first-year girlfriends for you?
[06:03] Kodai
Actually, Shibaken, isn't your
little brother a first-year?
[06:08] Ken
Hmm? Oh, yeah...
SIGN Welcome, Incoming Students!!

[07:33] Hiyori
going on here?
[07:35] Akechi
I'm Akechi, your homeroom teacher.
I teach classical literature.

teacher wearing a lab coat?

[08:10] Yujiro
Nice to meet you, Suzumi-san.
[08:12] Hiyori
Y-Yes, pleased to meet you!
[08:17] Hiyori
Wait, he's nice?
[08:19] Hiyori
I thought he'd be scary.
[08:29] Hiyori
What's up with those two?
[08:31] Hiyori
Aw, man, I didn't get to talk to any
of the other girls on my first day!
[08:37] Hiyori
Wait, where's the school gate?!
[08:40] Aizo
Cut the bullshit!
[08:45] Aizo
What the hell were you doing?!
[08:47] Yujiro
None of your business, Aizo.
[08:49] Hiyori
Those two?
[08:51] Aizo
You think your brush with
the law doesn't affect me?
[08:54] Yujiro
It's over now.
[08:57] Aizo
Cut the crap!
[08:58] Hiyori
Stop! Don't fight—
[09:06] Hiyori
Uh, sorry...
[09:12] Hiyori
But no fightin', okay? We're all classmates.
[09:16] Hiyori
You might even become friends!
[09:18] Aizo
Don't you know who we are?
[09:25] Aizo
Don't you get in my way,
either, you potato face!
SIGN POTATO
[09:29] Hiyori
P-Potato?!
[09:32] Yujiro
You know what to expect if you
tell anyone about yesterday.
[09:37] Aizo
This is why I hate girls.
[09:40] Yujiro
Stay away from us.
[09:42] Hiyori
Wh...
[09:44] Hiyori
Why?!
[09:50] Hiyori
Did I do somethin' wrong?
[09:56] Yujiro
It's LIP×LIP's nationwide concert tour...
[09:58] Aizo
The Julieta Tour you've been waiting for!

[10:33] Aizo
We auditioned. We did it separately,
[10:38] Aizo
but they paired us up for some reason.
[10:40] Aizo
Right?
[10:41] Yujiro
Originally I was going to
be the only one to debut,
[10:44] Yujiro
but for some reason they added on Aizo.

[10:59] Hiyori
They're smilin'!
[11:00] Hiyori
They're actin' like they get along,
but they were glarin' hard at each other.
[11:06] Hiyori
I don't get it.
[11:08] Hiyori
But hey, it's none of my business.
And they told me to stay away.
[11:13] Hiyori
I'll try to stay away.
[11:15] Girl 1
Aizo!
[11:16] Girl 2
Yujiro!
[11:18] Girl 1

[11:18] Girl 2
Gotta snap a pic!

Oh! I gotta buy somethin', too!

Um! I'd like some bread too, please!
SIGN Bread SOLD OUT
Sorry!
[11:46] Lady
Thanks for coming by!
[11:47] Hiyori
Aw, man!
[11:53] Juri
That was a loud grumble!
[11:55] Juri
Wanna have half of my sandwich?
[11:59] Hiyori
What? Really?!
[12:01] Hiyori
Oh, but I can't accept
food from a stranger.
[12:04] Juri
I'm not a stranger. I'm Hattori Juri.
I'm in your class!
[12:10] Juri
We gotta help each other out.
[12:13] Hiyori
Thank you! Don't mind if I do, then.
[12:16] Chizuru
E-Excuse me...
[12:18] Chizuru
Is it okay if I eat with you?
[12:21] Juri
Who're you?
[12:22] Chizuru
Nakamura Chizuru. I'm in your class, too.
[12:26] Hiyori
Yep! Let's eat together!
[12:31] Juri
Here you go.
[12:32] Hiyori
Wow, it looks great!
[12:34] Hiyori
How much was it?
[12:36] Juri
250 yen.
[12:37] Hiyori
So since we're splittin' it, I owe 125.
[12:40] Juri
Don't sweat it. My treat.
[12:42] Hiyori
That won't do.
[12:44] Hiyori
This stuff is more important with
friends than with strangers.
[12:48] Hiyori
I respect your money, Hattori-san.
[12:56] Juri
You can call me Juri.
[12:58] Juri
I'll call you Hiyori.
[13:00] Hiyori
Okay. Thanks for lunch, Juri-chan.
[13:06] Hiyori
It's so good!
[13:08] Hiyori
I'm not sure I've ever
had a sandwich this good.
[13:11] Hiyori
Is it because I'm hungry?
Because you split it with me?
[13:14] Hiyori
Maybe both!
[13:16] Hiyori
Anyway, it's super good!
[13:20] Juri
That's funny! You're a character, Hiyori.
[13:23] Juri
But you're usually all shy
with those idols on either side.
[13:27] Hiyori
It's because of where I sit!
[13:29] Chizuru
You're friends with them,
aren't you, Suzumi-san?
[13:32] Hiyori
What? No, I didn't even know they were idols.
[13:37] Hiyori
What was the name? Lip...
[13:40] Juri
LIP×LIP. Any high school
girl should know that.
[13:44] Hiyori
Really?
[13:45] Chizuru
I'm not an expert, but yes,
they're very popular.
[13:49] Chizuru
They're touring the whole
country this summer.
[13:53] Hiyori
They may say "whole country," but no
star's ever come to my little town.
[13:58] Hiyori
I don't care about idols.
[14:04] Juri
But that idol smile just
cleanses the soul, doesn't it?
[14:08] Hiyori
Am I the only one who
finds those smiles scary?
[14:13] Hiyori
Whoa, there's so much track
equipment! I'm impressed.
[14:19] Advisor
We've got more than equipment.
Our track team is the cream of the crop!
[14:23] Advisor
Setoguchi!
[14:24] Hina
Yes?
[14:27] Advisor
Oh, you two know each other?
[14:30] Hiyori
We met the day of the entrance ceremony.
[14:32] Hina
Did you make it to your classroom?
[14:34] Hiyori
Yes, thank you for your help!
[14:38] Advisor
This is the new member I told you about,
[14:40] Advisor
the one who came to Tokyo to do track.
[14:43] Hina
Oh, I've been waiting for this!
[14:46] Hina
My name's Setoguchi Hina. I'm a
second-year. Nice to meet you!
[14:49] Hiyori
I'm Suzumi Hiyori! So, um...
[14:54] Hiyori
Can I run, too?!
[14:57] Hina
So you're living alone here, huh?
[15:00] Hiyori
Yeah. My town's high school
doesn't have a track team.
[15:04] Hiyori
So my teacher from middle school
put me in touch with this school!
[15:08] Hina
That sounds rough. Are you okay?
[15:11] Hiyori
I did basic house chores there.
[15:14] Hiyori
And I'm willin' to do whatever
it takes to be on a track team!
[15:18] Hiyori
My family's rootin' for me, too.
[15:21] Hiyori
What?! Dad hurt his back?!
[15:25] Hiyori's Mom
Yep.
[15:27] Hiyori's Mom
The doctor told him to
stay in bed for a while.
[15:30] Hiyori's Dad
Idiot! As if a fisherman can just
rest because of a little back strain!
[15:33] Sora
Take that!
[15:34] Hiyori's Dad
Ow! Ow, ow, stop it! Stop!
[15:38] Hiyori's Dad
Get offa me!
[15:39] Hiyori's Mom
I'm on the phone, guys!
[15:41] Hiyori's Mom
Be quiet!
[15:44] Hiyori
So he won't be able to fish for a while, huh?
[15:48] Hiyori
Can we afford Tokyo?
[15:49] Hiyori's Mom
No need to worry. We'll keep
sendin' your allowance.
[15:54] Hiyori
But...
[15:56] Hiyori
The other kids just started middle school
and elementary school, too.
[16:00] Hiyori
That costs money.
[16:02] Hiyori's Mom
Sure, it'll be a little tight,
but we'll manage.
[16:08] Hiyori
Mom, I'm gonna get a job.
[16:12] Hiyori
There are lots of businesses in Tokyo,
so there's lots of places to work!
[16:16] Hiyori
So put Minoru and the others first, okay?
[16:19] Hiyori's Mom
But...
[16:21] Hiyori
It'll be fine!
[16:22] Hiyori
I'm a high schooler now.
Count on me for this, okay?
[16:27] Hiyori's Mom
Hiyori...
[16:29] Hiyori's Mom
Thanks. That helps.
[16:32] Hiyori's Mom
But we'll still pay your tuition, yeah?
[16:34] Hiyori
Yep! And I'll earn my livin' expenses!
[16:40] Hiyori
Gotta look for a job...
[16:45] Manager 1
Couldn't you come a little
earlier on weekdays?
[16:48] Hiyori
I'm sorry, I have practice.
[16:51] Manager 1
Can you do weekends?
[16:52] Hiyori
When I don't have track meets...
[16:58] Manager 2
I need someone who can work
at least four days a week.
[17:01] Manager 3
Let's just say it's not the right fit.
[17:04] Hiyori
So many businesses and jobs, but none fit me.
[17:10] Hiyori
I need someplace with a short-term,
low-hours job that pays well.
[17:14] Hiyori
Hourly rate...
[17:15] Hiyori
1,500 yen?!
SIGN 1,500 per hour
[17:19] Hiyori
"Responsibilities: helping to run events.
[17:22] Hiyori
No experience required. Flexible hours."
[17:25] Hiyori
And they're seekin' someone with
motivation and physical stamina!
[17:29] Hiyori
I have so much of those things!
[17:39] Hiyori
Are they all applyin' for the job?!
[17:42] Hiyori
Well, that's Tokyo and a
1,500 per hour job for ya.
[17:47] Hiyori
But... I can't back down!
[17:51] Uchida
According to our list,
you're Suzumi Hiyori-san?
[17:54] Hiyori
Y-Y-Yes! I'm pleased to meet you!
[17:57] Uchida
What made you want to apply for this job?
[18:00] Hiyori
I need it to live!
[18:02] Hiyori
Oh, no, I messed up! I meant to
say, "It's for living expenses"!
[18:08] Tamura
We all need money to live, that's for sure.
[18:11] Uchida
I see that you don't have a work history.
[18:14] Uchida
This job will be a lot of work.
Are you sure you can handle it?
[18:18] Uchida
There will be late nights.
[18:20] Hiyori
I can do that. I'm confident that
I've got the physical stamina.
[18:23] Hiyori
I won't sleep in or be late, either!
[18:25] Uchida
That's easy to say. But you've
got school and the track team,
[18:30] Uchida
so your working hours will
be limited, won't they?
[18:32] Hiyori
If I'm honest, yes.
[18:37] Hiyori
However!
[18:39] Hiyori
I'll get it done, no matter what.
[18:41] Hiyori
I'll clear any obstacle!
[18:44] Hiyori
See, on the track team, I'm a hurdler.
[18:48] Hiyori
I've loved runnin' since I was a kid.
[18:52] Hiyori
I moved to Tokyo all alone because
I wanted to keep runnin'.
[18:57] Hiyori
My dream is to be a national finalist.
[19:02] Tamura
Having a dream is important,
[19:04] Tamura
because you can stick with it through
the tough times if it's for your dream.
[19:08] Hiyori
Yes, ma'am! So I'll do whatever it takes.
[19:12] Hiyori
I'll work hard!
[19:14] Uchida
Suzumi-san...
[19:16] Uchida
You're a first-year at
Sakuragaoka High School.
[19:19] Uchida
What class?
[19:20] Hiyori
Er, Class 4.
[19:23] Uchida
Class 4...
[19:26] Uchida
One last thing.
[19:28] Uchida
Do you have any favorite pop idols?
[19:32] Hiyori
Idols?
[19:38] Hiyori
Absolutely not!
[19:41] Hiyori
I lost the job. I just know it.
[19:47] Hiyori
I made a total "blech" face.
That's a terrible impression to make.
[19:53] Hiyori
I came to Tokyo 'cause I wanted to keep
runnin'... but is that impossible?
[20:05] Hiyori
No! Hurdles exist to be cleared!
[20:08] Hiyori
I'll restart my job hunt!
[20:13] Hiyori
Hello?
[20:17] Uchida
Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Uchida Mayu.
[20:20] Hiyori
R-Right, hello.
[20:23] Uchida
This way, please.
[20:28] Hiyori
Er, did I really get the job?
[20:32] Uchida
Yes. The CEO and I discussed it,
and we decided on you.
[20:37] Hiyori
Thank you very much!
[20:43] Hiyori
Thank goodness...
[20:46] Uchida
Will you be able to live now?
[20:48] Hiyori
Yes!
[20:49] Hiyori
But there were so many applicants...
Why'd you pick me?
[20:54] Uchida
Because you're in Sakuragaoka
High School Class 1-4.
[21:02] Hiyori
Huh?
[21:09] Tamura
Ah, she's here.
[21:15] Hiyori
Someya-kun? Shibasaki-kun?
[21:18] Aizo
What are you doing here?
[21:20] Yujiro
Isn't this office authorized
personnel only, ma'am?
[21:24] Tamura
Yes, it is. And starting today,
she's your personnel.
[21:29] Aizo
What?
[21:30] Yujiro
What does that mean?
[21:32] Uchida
I'm sure you've met in class,
but allow me to formally introduce her.
[21:37] Uchida
This is Hiyoko.
[21:38] Hiyori
It's "Hiyori."
[21:39] Uchida
Starting today, Hiyoko the newbie will
be LIP×LIP's manager-in-training.
[21:45] Yujiro
What?
[21:46] Aizo
What?!
[21:48] Hiyori
H-Huh?
[21:50] Hiyori
What?!
