[00:01] Hiyori
    Me?
[00:03] Hiyori
    I'm gonna be their manager?!
[00:07] Uchida
    In training.
[00:09] Uchida
    You'll be supporting LIP×LIP with me.
[00:12] Aizo
    No one told us that!
[00:15] Uchida
    I told you we'd be hiring temps because
[00:17] Uchida
    there's so much to do before
    your summer concert, remember?
[00:19] Aizo
    But why is she the temp?
[00:22] Aizo
    You said you "don't care about idols."
[00:24] Hiyori
    U-Um...
[00:26] Aizo
    You realize she didn't
    even know we were idols?!
[00:30] Aizo
    She's obviously unfit to be our manager!
[00:33] Yujiro
    Agreed. She'll never hack it.
[00:36] Hiyori
    You don't know that. I haven't even—
[00:38] Yujiro
    It's obvious.
[00:40] Yujiro
    Why did you start to tell the whole
    class you saw me at the police station?
[00:45] Hiyori
    I wasn't thinking...
[00:47] Yujiro
    You just blurted out what you saw.
     That's beyond insensitive.
[00:53] Yujiro
    She's a nosy little dimwit.
[00:55] Aizo
    She's awkward and can't read social cues.
[00:57] Yujiro
    And she's naïve to boot.
[01:00] Uchida
    You're only in sync at times like these.
[01:04] Yujiro
    I'm simply stating the facts.
[01:05] Yujiro
    She lacks delicacy and tact.
[01:08] Aizo
    She's got no taste, and she's a potato face!
[01:10] Hiyori
    Can it, you two!
[01:13] Hiyori
    You talk like you're so much better than me,
[01:15] Hiyori
    insultin' me to my face after ya just met me!
[01:17] Hiyori
    Clearly you're the insensitive one!
[01:21] Hiyori
    You paste on a phony smile for
    girls ya don't even want around,
[01:24] Hiyori
    so you're the tasteless one!
[01:26] Hiyori
    You call yourselves "idols"?
[01:28] Hiyori
    Even if every other high school
    girl in Japan loves you...
[01:32] Hiyori
    I don't!
[01:40] Hiyori
    I'm an idiot! Did I just get myself
    fired from a 1,500-per-hour job?!
[01:46] Tamura
    We were right about you. You've got guts.
[01:51] Uchida
    LIP×LIP may be all the rage
    with high school girls,
[01:54] Uchida
    but Hiyoko here doesn't see the appeal.
[02:00] Hiyori
    Er, my name isn't Hiyoko. It's Hiyori.
[02:03] Tamura
    Clearly there's plenty of room
    for the LIP×LIP fandom to grow.
[02:07] Tamura
    I like a challenge.
[02:10] Yujiro
    All right, fine.
[02:13] Yujiro
    Let her be manager-in-training,
    if that's what she wants.
[02:16] Aizo
    Hey!
[02:17] Yujiro
    It's only until summer.
[02:20] Yujiro
    However!
[02:22] Yujiro
    We don't need dead weight,
    so prove your worth.
[02:27] Hiyori
    I will! I'll get the job done!
[02:30] Hiyori
    Just wait! I'll make you admit my worth!

    Oh, good.
[04:29] Hiyori
    Please don't tell anyone I'm their manager.
[04:32] Akechi
    I know the deal.
[04:36] Hiyori
    Teaching idols must be tough too, huh?
[04:41] Akechi
    They're students like the rest of you.
    I'll help them enjoy school life.
[04:48] Akechi
    That's really all.
[04:49] Hiyori
    Akechi-sensei is a wonderful teacher!
[04:53] Akechi
    You should come to me whenever

    Studying, the team, chores...
[05:18] Hiyori
    I'm busy 24/7.

    But I expected that, so it's fine.

    What I didn't expect is...

    Hurry up and put that away.

    We're on to the next studio.

    Go buy them!

    ASAP.
[06:04] Hiyori
    This manager-in-training job
    pays well, but it pisses me off.
[06:12] Girl A
    Here I am again, Aizo.
[06:14] Aizo
    You're always welcome.
[06:15] Girl B
    Can I have your autograph, Yujiro?
[06:18] Yujiro
    Of course.
[06:19] Hiyori
    They're surrounded during
    break times every day.
[06:26] Hiyori
    I'm gonna visit Juri-chan.
[06:34] Yujiro
    Suzumi-san, are you okay?
[06:36] Hiyori
    Uh, sure...
[06:38] Girl A
    You're so nice, Yujiro!
[06:41] Yujiro
    Don't just ditch us.
[06:45] Hiyori
    U-Um...
[06:47] Hiyori
    Oh, I just remembered!
[06:50] Hiyori
    Someya-kun, Shibasaki-kun,
    Akechi-sensei was lookin' for you... I think!
[06:56] Aizo
    You should've done that sooner.
[06:59] Yujiro
    Exactly. How clueless can you be?
[07:02] Hiyori
    You say that now, but...
[07:04] Hiyori
    I figured I shouldn't interrupt you.
[07:06] Aizo
    It's like that every break!
    Anyone would be annoyed!
[07:10] Yujiro
    Training or not, you're a manager,
     so use your head.
[07:13] Hiyori
    Right, sorry.
[07:17] Aizo
    Why do girls keep swarming us?
     It's seriously a pain.
[07:21] Hiyori
    Because they're your fans.
    Isn't having lots of fans a good thing?
[07:28] Aizo
    I'm uncomfortable with them.
[07:30] Hiyori
    Huh?
[07:31] Yujiro
    You're still saying that?
[07:33] Yujiro
    Being uncomfortable around
    girls is fatal for an idol.
[07:36] Aizo
    Shut up! And your surliness
    is showing through!
[07:40] Aizo
    Your face is a Noh mask!
[07:41] Yujiro
    This is just my face!
    And you're too glib with them!
[07:45] Aizo
    Excuse me?
[07:45] Yujiro
    Excuse you!
[07:49] Hiyori
    Hold up!
[07:50] Hiyori
    No fighting!
[07:55] Aizo
    Whatever, I'm out.
[08:06] Hiyori
    Uncomfortable around girls...
[08:08] Hiyori
    Surly...
[08:11] Hiyori
    Why are they pop idols?
[08:19] Hiyori
    The starting dash is key!
[08:21] Akechi
    Hey, no running in the halls.
[08:25] Hiyori
    Yes, sir!
[08:31] Hiyori
    I'm late again.

    Hiya, Hiyori!
[08:37] Hiyori
    Juri-chan!
[08:38] Hiyori
    You bought a sandwich again.
     How do you do it?
[08:42] Juri
    There's a trick to it.
[08:44] Hiyori
    Oh?
[08:45] Juri
    The line at the end is your chance.
    It's shorter than the others.
[08:49] Juri
    Always attack the least defended area.

    Okay!

    Yay, I got here! Thank you, Juri-chan!

    Suzumi-san, you seem busy lately.
    You're always running around.
[09:35] Chizuru
    Do you do something after school?
[09:38] Hiyori
    Huh?
[09:39] (Flashback) Ueda
    You being a manager-in-training
    has to be top secret.
[09:42] (Flashback) Ueda
    You can't tell your friends or family.
[09:46] Hiyori
    W-Well, I'm on the track team,
    you know? I just always run!
[09:57] Hiyori
    I've always been bad at keeping secrets...

    Oh, you're right!

    Burning off stress gave me power!

    Sorry, Hina. Are you okay?
[10:31] Hina
    Sheesh, you almost hit my first-year!
[10:34] Kotaro
    But I didn't, so it's fine!

    Yes! I've always wanted to eat
    crêpes after school, and—ugh!

    I have work today...
[11:01] Hina
    Aw, that's a shame.
[11:04] Hiyori
    Please ask me again sometime.
    Please! Promise me!

    Good evening, everyone.
    This is Full Throttle4's RIO and...
[11:31] YUI
    ...YUI speaking! Yay!
[11:34] Hiyori
    "Full Throttle4"?
[11:36] Aizo
    You seriously haven't heard of them?
[11:38] Hiyori
    Huh? No...
[11:43] Aizo
    Full Throttle4, or FT4 for short.
[11:47] Yujiro
    They're a talented song and dance unit.
    They're incredibly popular.
[11:51] Aizo
    Study up on the industry if
    you want to be a manager.
[11:56] Hiyori
    I'm sorry...
[12:00] RIO
    We have guests in the studio today.
[12:02] YUI
    It's LIP×LIP!
[12:05] Aizo
    Good evening. This is LIP×LIP's Aizo...
[12:08] Yujiro
    ...and Yujiro. It's good to see
    you again, RIO-san and YUI-san.
[12:12] RIO
    Here's a brief reintroduction to LIP×LIP.
[12:16] RIO
    The commercial they starred
    in was a hot topic,
[12:19] RIO
    and their debut single
    "Romeo" was their big break.
[12:22] YUI
    I saw your last concert!
    That was some big energy.
[12:25] RIO
    Our whole band went, and we had a good time.
[12:28] Yujiro
    Thank you!
[12:30] Aizo
    Those words from you two are quite an honor.
[12:33] RIO
    So, you got your debut through an
    audition sponsored by your agency.
[12:37] Aizo
    Yes, we applied.
[12:39] RIO
    We were on the jury for that event.
    You both left a big impression.
[12:43] YUI
    I voted for you too,
    so you'd better be grateful.
[12:46] Yujiro
    Thank you. We couldn't
    have debuted without you.
[12:51] RIO
    What made you want to be pop idols?
[12:53] Aizo
    I wanted to be able to entertain
    people with my singing and dancing.
[12:58] Yujiro
    Making our fans happy is
    what keeps us motivated.
[13:04] YUI
    You're lying.
[13:11] YUI
    You're lying.
[13:18] RIO
    Sorry, but please stop
    recording for a moment.
[13:22] YUI
    Ow! What was that for, RIO?!
[13:24] RIO
    I told you not to say anything
    that would ruin LIP×LIP's image!
[13:28] YUI
    But they're saying all this
    boring "honor student" stuff!
[13:32] YUI
    They're just playing the part!
    It's so not entertaining!
[13:35] YUI
    Ow, ow! I give, I give!
[13:36] YUI
    I'll stop.
[13:38] RIO
    Show remorse.
[13:39] YUI
    Sheesh, I was just saying what I thought.
[13:43] RIO
    Ow, ow, ow!
[13:43] RIO
    We'll have that part cut.
[13:46] RIO
    I apologize for YUI's rudeness.
[13:48] Aizo
    It's all right.
[13:50] Yujiro
    We aren't taking it personally.
[13:54] RIO
    You aren't?
[13:58] RIO
    On the stage, it doesn't matter
    whether you're new kids or veterans.
[14:02] RIO
    If your performance isn't exciting,
     your audience leaves.
[14:05] RIO
    If smiles are all you've got,
    you won't last long in this business.
[14:10] YUI
    You guys aren't gonna beat us.
[14:13] Aizo
    We'll work hard so that we can
    share a stage with you soon.
[14:17] Yujiro
    Thank you for your valuable advice.
[14:22] YUI
    Later!
[14:23] RIO
    Thanks for coming.
[14:24] Aizo
    Thank you very much.
[14:26] Yujiro
    Have a good night!
[14:32] Aizo
    Gee, sorry to be boring.
[14:35] Aizo
    It's not like "playing the part"
     was our idea!
[14:37] Yujiro
    We'll put those jerks out of business.
[14:39] Hiyori
    Out of business? Idols are scary!
[14:54] Hiyori
    I wonder what the lunch deal is today!
[14:57] Aizo
    What did you just say to me?!
[15:04] Hiyori
    They're arguin' again!
[15:07] Hiyori
    I wanna stay away. But...
[15:11] (Flashback) Uchida
    Keeping an eye on them at school is
    part of the manager-in-training's job.
[15:14] (Flashback) Uchida
    Factoring that time into
    your pay... here's the total.
[15:18] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Whoa!
[15:20] Hiyori
    I'm doing this to live!
[15:23] Hiyori
    Hey! No fight—
[15:30] Hiyori
    Ow...
[15:32] Aizo
    That hurt.
[15:34] Yujiro
    Are you picking a fight?
[15:35] Hiyori
    I-I'm sorry.
[15:37] Hiyori
    But no fightin'!
[15:39] Aizo
    Shut up.
[15:40] Yujiro
    Mind your own business.
[15:41] Hiyori
    So you don't mind trashin' LIP×LIP's image?
[15:43] Hiyori
    Plus, you'll get suspended if they
    catch you fightin' at school!
[15:47] Aizo
    So what? I don't wanna be here anyway.
[15:50] Hiyori
    Huh?
[15:52] Yujiro
    The CEO hired us on the condition
[15:55] Yujiro
    that we attend and graduate
    from a normal school.
[15:59] Yujiro
    I wouldn't come to a place
    like this otherwise.
[16:06] Hiyori
    "A place like this"?
[16:09] Hiyori
    I was really lookin' forward to high school.
[16:14] Hiyori
    I wanted to make friends, be on the
    team, eat a crêpe on my way home...
[16:20] Hiyori
    There are so many fun things to do.
[16:23] Hiyori
    But...
[16:25] Hiyori
    I guess they don't feel that way.
SIGN    Nonfantasy
[16:34] Hiyori
    I don't get it.
[16:40] Uchida
    Sort and organize these
    fan letters and presents.
[16:43] Uchida
    It's part of a manager's job.
[16:45] Hiyori
    All of these?
[16:47] Uchida
    Yes. Thanks!
[16:52] Hiyori
    Who knew so many people
    were cheerin' for them?
[16:57] Hiyori
    Aizo...
[17:01] Hiyori
    Yujiro...
[17:05] Hiyori
    This is for both of them.
[17:06] Hiyori
    Is this hand-made?!
[17:08] Hiyori
    And it... smells really good...
[17:13] Hiyori
    Wow!

[17:15] Hiyori

    This is Chutan-san, too.
SIGN    To LIP×LIP's Manager
[17:25] Hiyori
    "To LIP×LIP's Manager"?
[17:31] Hiyori
    Hello, Uchida-san!
[17:34] Uchida
    Hi, Hiyoko. All done?
[17:37] Hiyori
    Yep, more or less.
[17:39] Hiyori
    Um, here...
[17:44] Uchida
    Oh, it's Chutan-san.
[17:46] Uchida
    Chutan-san has been a passionate
    LIP×LIP fan since their debut.
[17:51] Uchida
    They even write letters to me and the CEO,
[17:53] Uchida
    asking us to take good care of LIP×LIP.
[17:56] Hiyori
    Huh. So, where are those two?
[18:00] Uchida
    In a lesson.
[18:27] Hiyori
    Fightin' again...
[18:31] Uchida
    Pick a drink, Hiyoko.
[18:33] Hiyori
    Oh! Orange juice, please.
[18:39] Uchida
    So, are you getting used to the job?
[18:42] Hiyori
    I s'pose. They insult me constantly, though.
[18:47] Hiyori
    It's not funny!
[18:49] Uchida
    That's not a bad thing.
[18:51] Uchida
    Aizo is uncomfortable around girls,
    and Yujiro rarely drops his game face,
[18:56] Uchida
    yet they show you their true selves.
[18:58] Hiyori
    True selves?
[18:59] Uchida
    The first task of a manager
    is to know her artists.
[19:04] Hiyori
    But if all that's happenin' is that
    they don't treat me as a girl...
[19:09] Uchida
    You have a point.
[19:13] Hiyori
    I don't really get it.
[19:16] Hiyori
    Why are those two idols?
[19:22] Uchida
    I asked them about their motivations
    during the audition. They said...
[19:26] (Flashback) Aizo
    I want to sing.
[19:28] (Flashback) Yujiro
    I want to be on stage.
[19:31] Hiyori
    Why?
[19:32] Uchida
    I don't know the details. They won't tell me.
[19:36] Uchida
    But they never whine,
    and they never compromise.
[19:40] Uchida
    I'm sure their desire to
    be pop idols is genuine.
[19:46] Uchida
    The "idol smile" isn't easy, you know.
[19:52] Hiyori
    I don't know much about idols.
[19:56] Hiyori
    And I don't know what those two are thinkin'.
[20:00] Hiyori
    But I can kinda tell one thing.
[20:05] Hiyori
    There's something they wanna do,
    and they don't wanna give it up.
[20:10] Hiyori
    That "I won't back down no matter
    what anyone says" feeling...
[20:16] Hiyori
    Maybe bein' idols means to
    them what runnin' means to me.
[20:23] Uchida
    Look at the time!
[20:25] Uchida
    Hiyoko, you can call it a night.
[20:27] Hiyori
    Yes, ma'am.
[20:29] Hiyori
    Have a good night!
[20:41] Uchida
    That's all for today!
[20:46] Hiyori
    Good work today!
[20:47] Aizo
    What are you doing here?
[20:49] Yujiro
    You should go home as soon
    as you're done working.
[20:52] Hiyori
    Honestly, why are you so mean?
[20:56] Yujiro
    Anyone would tell you the same.
    Do you know what time it is?
[21:00] Aizo
    You're technically a girl, Potato Face.
[21:04] Hiyori
    That's surprisingly considerate.
[21:08] Hiyori
    Um...
[21:11] Hiyori
    Here!
[21:12] Hiyori
    I got you coffee and cocoa with milk.
[21:15] Aizo
    Seriously? People want water or
    sports drinks after a lesson!
[21:20] Aizo
    Nobody wants hot coffee.
[21:22] Yujiro
    You figured just bringing drinks
    we like was good enough,
[21:25] Yujiro
    without even considering our circumstances.
[21:28] Yujiro
    The sheer simple-mindedness irritates me.
[21:33] Hiyori
    Wait, don't you want these?
[21:38] Yujiro/Aizo
    No!
[21:43] Hiyori
    Idols...
[21:46] Hiyori
    seriously piss me off!
