Aizo-kun and Yujiro-kun
are supposedly dating!

What? Those two are an item?!
[00:21] Newswoman
The internet is fiercely debating which
LIP×LIP member's girlfriend this is.
[00:26] Mona
Oh, so that's the "affair."
[00:29] Newswoman
Are they having dates in public? How bold!
[00:33] Sena
No way! Those two would never be so careless.

Hello, Shibasaki-kun? It's me!
[00:52] Aizo
I don't accept scam phone calls, sorry.
[00:54] Hiyori
This is no time for jokes!
Have ya seen the TV?
[00:58] Aizo
I'm watching it now.
[01:00] Aizo
Your face is blurred out. Makes you
look like a wanted criminal.
[01:04] Hiyori
Yeah, that occurred to me, too... but...
[01:09] Aizo
What's wrong?
[01:11] Hiyori
I'm sorry.
[01:12] Aizo
It's not your fault.
[01:14] Aizo
The one to blame is whoever
posted those photos.
[01:19] Hiyori
Are you okay?
[01:21] Aizo
No problems here. It's him
who's gonna have a hard time.
[01:25] Aizo
His family's famous.
[01:29] Hiyori
Yeah...
[01:31] Aizo
Tell him not to get cornered by
the press and do something dumb.
[01:35] Hiyori
How about ya tell him that directly?
[01:38] Aizo
I don't know his number.
[01:40] Aizo
I leave it to you, Miss Manager-in-Training.
[01:44] Hiyori
Sheesh!
[01:47] Yujiro
I'm sorry.
[01:49] Yujiro
I intended to keep LIP×LIP from
causing the family any trouble.
[01:55] Yujiro
I apologize for this inci—
[01:57] Tamagoro
Don't underestimate this family.
[02:00] Tamagoro
The Someyas are not so fragile as
to be shaken by something like this.
[02:04] Yujiro
Father...
[02:06] Tamagoro
It seems to me that this
level of gossip proves
[02:09] Tamagoro
you've become someone of consequence
in the entertainment industry.
[02:14] Tamagoro
Yujiro, do you bear any guilt in this?
[02:20] Yujiro
No. I've done nothing.
[02:23] Tamagoro
Then confront this with the dauntless
attitude that befits a Someya.
[02:29] Yujiro
Yes, sir!
[02:34] Yujiro
No problems here.
[02:35] Hiyori
Oh, good.
[02:37] Hiyori
I'm glad.
[02:38] Yujiro
Tell him not to get careless
and let the press get a bad photo.
[02:43] Hiyori
I keep tellin' ya, say that
stuff to each other directly!
[02:47] Yujiro
I don't know his number.
[02:49] Yujiro

Well, this has certainly blown up.
[04:42] Akechi
Are you all right?
[04:43] Aizo
We're perfectly fine.
[04:46] Aizo
We don't intend to let
petty rumors bring us down.
[04:49] Yujiro
But we apologize for causing
trouble for the school.
[04:53] Akechi
Oh, we anticipated this.
[04:56] Akechi
We accepted you into the school with
full knowledge that this might happen.
[05:03] Hiyori
Sir...
[05:05] Akechi
Please keep coming to school every day.
[05:09] Akechi
Students have the right to learn.
[05:12] Akechi
The school will do all it
can to support that right.
[05:15] Aizo
Yes, sir.
[05:16] Yujiro
Thank you.
[05:18] Hiyori
We appreciate it.
[05:24] Hiyori
You go to class. I'll follow later.
[05:27] Hiyori
Let's avoid talkin' to each
other at school from now on.
[05:31] Hiyori
Gotta make sure we don't
start any more rumors.
[05:35] Aizo
Right...
[05:36] Yujiro
Understood.
[05:46] Aizo
What a pain.
[05:48] Yujiro
The culprit behind all this is the
person who posted those photos.
[05:53] Aizo
It might be one of our fans here.
[05:56] Yujiro
Most likely.
[05:58] Yujiro
They chose photos where all
three of us were together,
[06:01] Yujiro
so I think they have
something against Suzumi.
[06:02] Aizo
Jealousy, eh? Which means
the perp is female.
[06:06] Aizo
This is why I don't like women.
[06:09] Akechi
You can have those if you want.
[06:13] Akechi
I know they're crumpled,
but I think they're good photos.
[06:16] Akechi
You look very happy in them.
[06:20] Hiyori
I thought I was bein' careful. I didn't
realize how close I was to them.
[06:33] Hiyori
I gotta keep my distance.
[06:36] Hiyori
Because I'm the manager-in-trainin'.

Oh, the one with LIP×LIP.
Isn't she super plain, though?
[06:50] Girl A
Totally.
[06:51] Girl B
Not a good match.
[06:52] Hiyori
Three bun sandwiches, please!
[06:56] Juri
You bought more buns than usual today.
[06:59] Hiyori
When life gets tough,
you have another helping!
[07:03] Juri
You seem like you can deal
with anything, Hiyori.
[07:05] Hiyori
It's 'cause I have you and Chizu-chan.
Thank you, seriously.
[07:11] Chizuru
Are you really not dating either of them?
[07:15] Chizuru
It's just, you three seemed
friendly sometimes.
[07:19] Hiyori
Aw, come on. There's nothing going on.
We just sit next to each other.
[07:25] Chizuru
Really?
[07:26] Hiyori
I only have eyes for track!
And I don't know much about idols.
[07:31] Chizuru
Okay.
[07:35] Hiyori
I'm sorry. I can't tell anyone, even my friends.
[07:46] Hiyori
Look at all the negative comments!
[07:49] Hiyori
There are plenty of angry fans,
but so many others seem crushed.
[07:56] Hiyori
I've...
[07:58] Hiyori
hurt the fans.
[08:03] Tamura
We need to do something to calm the waters.
[08:07] Uchida
As a first step,
[08:08] Uchida
I've called all their commercial
sponsors and program producers
[08:13] Uchida
to explain and apologize.
[08:15] Aizo
Apologize?! Why?
[08:17] Yujiro
We haven't done anything
we need to apologize for.
[08:20] Uchida
Even if you haven't done anything wrong,
[08:23] Uchida
it's still potentially damaging to your image.
[08:26] Uchida
We have to apologize for the stir.
[08:32] Tamura
In this business, image is everything.
[08:37] Tamura
Gigs already scheduled are one thing,
[08:39] Tamura
but it's possible that
you'll lose work in the future.
[08:45] Hiyori
I'm sorry! It's my fault.
[08:48] Tamura
No, it's not. I made the call to hire you.
[08:52] Tamura
And I'm truly glad that
I chose you, Hiyori-chan.
[08:56] Hiyori
Ma'am...
[08:57] Uchida
Why not take a break from school for a while?
[09:00] Aizo
No. Isn't that running away?
[09:03] Yujiro
I don't approve of hiding.
[09:05] Uchida
Nice words, but what if
something else happens?
[09:09] Tamura
Very well. We'll provide support
so that you can go to school.
[09:13] Tamura
But you're not allowed to go out on
your own for a while, understood?
[09:17] Staff
Excuse me.
[09:20] Staff
Someone's here to see Yujiro-san.
[09:22] Yujiro
Me?
[09:27] Yujiro
Koichiro...
[09:31] Hiyori
Um, you're Someya-kun's
younger brother, right?
[09:34] Koichiro
Is she your girlfriend?
[09:36] Hiyori
Huh? No!
[09:38] Yujiro
That's ludicrous.
[09:40] Koichiro
I figured.
[09:43] Koichiro
If you've got a clean conscience,
then you should fight back.
[09:47] Koichiro
This all started when the photos were
posted on the school bulletin board.
[09:52] Koichiro
All of them are photos only
someone close to you could take.
[09:56] Koichiro
It's clearly someone at the school.
[09:58] Koichiro
We can trace their online footprints.
[10:01] Aizo
And identify who took the photos, eh?
[10:05] Yujiro
It was probably one of our fans.
[10:09] Koichiro
I promise to expose their—
[10:11] Hiyori
Hold on!
[10:13] Hiyori
What's the point of suspectin' your
fans and identifyin' the culprit?!
[10:17] Aizo
To give her a stern warning, of course.
[10:21] Hiyori
You're gonna accuse a fan? That's not good!
[10:24] Yujiro
Why not? Being a fan doesn't
justify doing these things.
[10:28] Yujiro
They need to face—
[10:29] Hiyori
Fans aren't who idols should be fightin'!
[10:32] Hiyori
Have ya read your fan letters?!
[10:35] Hiyori
Do ya know their names?!
[10:36] Hiyori
They're all lookin' forward
to what you do next.
[10:39] Hiyori
You gotta think of a way to make the
fans happy, not look for the culprit!
[10:44] Aizo
People have been harassing you, too!
That doesn't piss you off?
[10:49] Hiyori
Yeah, it does piss me off!
[10:52] Hiyori
But more than that, I'm worried
about LIP×LIP's future.
[10:57] Hiyori
Because...
[10:59] Hiyori
I'm a fan, too!
[11:05] Hiyori
Really, I knew what to do before I got here.
[11:10] Hiyori
If I made the fans feel bad by
gettin' too close to LIP×LIP,
[11:16] Hiyori
then I've failed my manager trainin'.
[11:19] Hiyori
So I'm quittin' my manager job!
[11:25] Hiyori
Thank you for everything.
[11:28] Aizo
I'm home.
[11:31] Shibaken
Welcome home!
[11:33] Shibaken
Wanna have dinner? A bath?
Or my beautiful body?
[11:40] Shibaken
You're hungry, right? Food's almost done.
[11:49] Shibaken
Looks tasty, right? It's all
your favorites on parade.
[11:54] Aizo
Why?
[11:55] Shibaken
I wanted to cheer up my beloved brother.
[11:59] Aizo
Gross.
[12:01] Shibaken
Idols really are popular
with the chicks, huh?
[12:05] Shibaken
I used to be, too, and I fooled
around with a lot of girls.
[12:09] Aizo
You're trash.
[12:11] Shibaken
Yep, I was trash.
[12:14] Shibaken
If a girl's feelings got hurt,
I figured, "Whatever, she had fun, too."
[12:19] Shibaken
But you're different.
[12:21] Shibaken
Even though you're uncomfortable with girls,
[12:24] Shibaken
you still make an effort to talk to
each one as they crowd around you.
[12:28] Shibaken
How about you just say what you're thinking?
[12:31] Shibaken
I'm sure that'll be the right approach.
[12:36] Shibaken
And that concludes Your Wonderful
Brother's Advice Corner.
[12:40] Aizo
"Wonderful Brother," my ass.
[12:42] Shibaken
Eat before it gets cold.
[12:45] Aizo
I don't need the reminder!
[12:48] Aizo
Thanks for cooking.
[13:00] Yujiro
Are you off to training?
[13:03] Koichiro
Yeah. It throws me off to skip even one day.
[13:08] Yujiro
Got it.
[13:10] Yujiro
Thanks for coming to the office tod—
[13:12] Koichiro
Don't thank me.
[13:14] Koichiro
I wanted to repay my debt,
but I wasn't any use.
[13:18] Yujiro
Debt?
[13:19] Koichiro
That time I hit a wall in my
training and went to a club,
[13:24] Koichiro
you came to stop my senpai from
forcing me to drink, remember?
[13:36] Koichiro
You let me get away, and took
the police lecture in my place.
[13:43] Koichiro
You didn't tell the police or
anyone else that it was my fault.
[13:49] Koichiro
Why?
[13:50] Yujiro
Well, why did you call me for help that day?
[13:54] Koichiro
I-I couldn't tell Father about it...
[13:59] Koichiro
And I didn't have any friends to ask.
[14:02] Koichiro
I had to call you.
[14:04] Koichiro
What choice did I have?!
[14:06] Koichiro
I've been in kabuki training my whole life.
I never got to play with friends!
[14:11] Yujiro
I know.
[14:13] Yujiro
I've watched you all along.
[14:15] Yujiro
And rooted for you, for what it's worth.
[14:19] Yujiro
You're cute, Koichiro.
[14:21] Koichiro
What? Are you mocking me?!
[14:26] Yujiro
Do you still hang out with those senpai?
[14:29] Koichiro
Of course not!
[14:31] Yujiro
That's fine, then.
[14:32] Yujiro
You can pay me back later.
[14:36] Yujiro
I'll call in the favor when I need it.
[14:38] Koichiro
Y-You have a terrible personality.
[14:42] Yujiro
You're just realizing that now?
[14:46] Koichiro
Anyway, was that okay with you?
[14:49] Yujiro
Was what okay?
[14:50] Koichiro
Your manager-in-training leaving.
[15:00] (Flashback) Aizo
You're okay with that?!
[15:02] (Flashback) Aizo
Isn't that dropping out of
the race halfway through?
[15:05] (Flashback) Hiyori
Maybe so.
[15:06] (Flashback) Hiyori

Damn it, what a pain!
[15:46] (Flashback) Yujiro
Weren't you going to make
us admit your worth?
[15:50] (Flashback) Hiyori
Yeah, but right now reassuring the
fans is more important than my goals.

Yo.

[16:06] Aizo
Hey!

What are you doing here? And so late?
[16:14] Yujiro
Everything about this is wrong.
[16:16] Aizo
How else could I contact you?
[16:18] Aizo
Uchida-san isn't answering her phone,
and the manager-in-training quit.
[16:24] Yujiro
If someone sees you, they'll call
the police on you for trespassing.
[16:27] Aizo
Someone already saw me. A maid.
[16:30] Yujiro
Huh?
[16:30] Aizo
She let me in when she heard my name.
The story is that we're "friends."
[16:34] Yujiro
"Friends," eh?
[16:36] Aizo
Wanna exchange phone numbers, like friends do?
[16:39] Yujiro
No.
[16:40] Aizo
Nope, me either.
[16:43] Yujiro
I'm not letting you in.
Because we're not friends.
[16:47] Aizo
I wouldn't come in if you told
me to. We're not friends.
[16:51] Yujiro
So what do you want?
[16:53] Aizo
I have a proposal.
[16:59] Hiyori
No work to go to... I'm goin' back to sleep.

Oh, it's Uchida-san.

"LIP×LIP will hold a press
conference today at 3 PM"?!
[17:18] Reporter 1
Which of you is dating
the girl in the photos?
[17:23] Yujiro
Neither of us has a girlfriend.
[17:27] Aizo
Exactly. Because we have many
fans—Julietas—supporting us.
[17:32] Reporter 1
Then what is your relationship
with the girl in the photos?
[17:36] Reporter 2
You look very friendly in them.
[17:38] Aizo
We are friendly. She's one
of our precious classmates.
[17:42] Reporter 2
"Precious" makes it sound
like she's special to you.
[17:46] Yujiro
She sits near us, so there are lots of
opportunities to interact, that's all.
[17:50] Yujiro
We also ran the relay together on Field Day.
[17:53] Reporter 1
I see. So you participate
in the school's events.
[17:55] Reporter 1
Why did you enter a normal high school
despite having so many job offers?
[17:58] Aizo
Because we're high school idols.
[18:02] Aizo
The truth is, though, we didn't
intend to go to high school.
[18:06] Reporter 1
Oh?
[18:07] Yujiro
We debuted in our third year of middle school,
[18:09] Yujiro
so this was a year when we
needed to work hard as idols.
[18:13] Yujiro
We wanted to give our
time to work and lessons.
[18:16] Reporter 2
What changed your minds?
[18:17] Aizo
The CEO of our agency told us
[18:20] Aizo
she wanted us to enjoy high school life,
because that chance only comes once.
[18:24] Aizo
We bowed to her wishes.
[18:26] Yujiro
To be honest, I wasn't
very motivated at first.
[18:30] Yujiro
But lately, I'm starting to
understand what she meant.
[18:35] Aizo
We got invited to play basketball
during recess the other day.
[18:39] Aizo
It was surprisingly fun.
[18:42] Aizo
So much fun I forgot I was
an idol for a moment.
[18:45] Yujiro
We go to class with our classmates,
we talk about trivial things,
[18:50] Yujiro
and we eat lunch together.
[18:53] Yujiro
Those little day-to-day things
feel precious to me now.
[18:59] Aizo
The girl in those photos
[19:01] Aizo
is one of the classmates living
high school life with us.
[19:06] Aizo
She didn't even know we were idols at first.
[19:10] Aizo
She's a hard worker who loves
her after-school activities.
[19:13] Yujiro
She happens to be in our class,
and because she sits near us,
[19:17] Yujiro
she's been a little closer
to us than the others.
[19:22] Yujiro
We feel terrible that she's been
dragged into this drama because of that.
[19:28] Aizo
Our agency actually suggested we
stop going to school for a while
[19:33] Aizo
because of the media circus.
[19:35] Aizo
We might have been happy to do that before.
[19:39] Aizo
But now...
[19:41] Yujiro
If we can, we'd like to
keep attending high school.
[19:46] Yujiro
So we hope you'll watch over us.
[19:49] Aizo & Yujiro
Thank you.

[20:44] Uchida
I wish you well in track, Hiyoko.
[20:48] Hiyori
Thanks! Goodbye.
[20:57] Hiyori
It was rough pretty much every day, huh?
[21:02] Hiyori
Our meeting was a disaster.
[21:04] Hiyori
And I landed the manager-in-training job,
[21:07] Hiyori
but they were always fightin'!
[21:11] Hiyori
But they defended me at their shoot.
[21:16] Hiyori
And I watched their show
from the good seats.
[21:21] Hiyori
And they produced me that time...
[21:25] Hiyori
And we ran the relay together...
[21:30] Hiyori
It was fun.
[21:37] Hiyori
I wish I coulda stayed in that job.
