[00:01] Hiyori
    Let me introduce you.
    This is my childhood friend...
[00:04] Hiyori
    Shiranami Nagisa-kun!
[00:06] Yujiro
    Your childhood friend...
[00:08] Aizo
    ...is a dude?
[00:09] Nagisa
    Hiyori, what about them?
[00:11] Hiyori
    Oh, um...
[00:15] Yujiro
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Someya.
[00:17] Aizo
    And I'm Shibasaki.
[00:21] Aizo
    He's tall!
[00:22] Nagisa
    LIP×LIP?
[00:24] Hiyori
    Huh?
[00:24] Hiyori
    Ya know them?
[00:26] Nagisa
    The girls were all freakin' out
    over a magazine article about 'em.
[00:29] Nagisa
    And they're famous, ya know.
[00:31] Nagisa
    Why are you with them?
[00:33] Hiyori
    We happened to get put in the same class.
[00:36] Hiyori
    They're just classmates. Yep.
[00:38] Nagisa
    Why would "just classmates"
    come with ya to pick me up?
[00:42] Hiyori
    Well...
[00:44] Nagisa
    Ya never gave me a straight
    answer about your part-time job.
[00:48] Nagisa
    This is related, ain't it?
[00:50] Nagisa
    I won't believe a lie.
[00:55] Hiyori
    The truth is, I'm their manager-in-trainin'.
[00:59] Nagisa
    Manager?!
[01:01] Hiyori
    In trainin'!
[01:05] [SONG] ---

[01:38] [SONG] ---
    My sincerest "Thank you for everything"
[01:41] [SONG] ---
    Will you love me—not
    as a fan, but for real?
[01:46] [SONG] ---
    "Pick me"
[01:49] [SONG] ---
    "No, pick me"
[01:53] [SONG] ---
    Choose which kiss you want
[01:57] [SONG] ---

[02:40] Nagisa
    Hiyori...
[02:42] Nagisa
    Ya seem different.
[02:48] Hiyori
    Different how?
[02:50] Hiyori
    Weird different?
[02:51] Hiyori
    Am I... cute right now?
[02:56] Nagisa
    Y-Yeah...
[02:58] Hiyori
    Sweet! We did it!
[03:00] Hiyori
    I dressed up cute to surprise ya!
[03:04] Nagisa
    This is for me?
[03:05] Hiyori
    Ya told me dresses look
    weird on me, remember?
[03:09] Nagisa
    Huh? Oh...
[03:11] Hiyori
    So, those two were my producers!
[03:17] Nagisa
    Huh...
[03:19] Aizo
    Mr. "Old Friend" is into Suzumi, isn't he?
[03:22] Yujiro
    Looks like it, but we can't be sure yet.
[03:25] Yujiro
    Also, she didn't warn us
    that Nagisa was a guy.
[03:28] Aizo
    Anyone would've assumed it was a girl.
[03:31] Aizo
    That little jerk left out crucial details.
[03:35] Hiyori
    We've got some time to kill.
     Anywhere ya wanna go?
[03:38] Nagisa
    Yeah, your office.
[03:40] Hiyori
    Huh? Why?
[03:42] Nagisa
    I wanna see what kind of
    place you're workin' at.
[03:47] Hiyori
    Okay, sit tight. I'll go
    ask for President Tamura.
[03:51] Nagisa
    Okay.
[03:55] Nagisa
    I find it questionable that you're
    makin' a classmate be your manager.
[04:00] Aizo
    She's the one who wanted to do it.
[04:02] Aizo
    If she didn't like it, she'd have quit.
[04:05] Nagisa
    No, she wouldn't have. Hiyori finishes
    what she starts, no matter what.
[04:09] Nagisa
    It's who she is.
[04:12] Uchida
    Oh, my!
[04:14] Uchida
    You look adorable!
[04:16] Tamura
    That looks great on you.
[04:19] Hiyori
    Thank you very much.
[04:20] Hiyori
    It's thanks to my two producers.
[04:23] Nagisa
    Do pop idols normally produce their managers?
[04:27] Nagisa
    Isn't it oversteppin' for ya
    to tell a girl what to wear?
[04:32] Aizo
    You're sure getting in our faces. Jealous?
[04:35] Yujiro
    So, you like Suzumi.
[04:38] Nagisa
    None of your idol business.
[04:43] Aizo
    Nope, normally idols don't
    produce their managers.
[04:47] Aizo
    But she was just so frumpy! Right?
[04:51] Yujiro
    Right. We'd have been embarrassed
    to go out in public with her.
[04:56] Aizo
    She's totally unsophisticated
    and has no sex appeal.
[04:59] Aizo
    Hardly seems like a girl, you know?
[05:01] Yujiro
    And she wants to be a heroine!
    Talk about no self-awareness.
[05:06] Aizo
    One dress-up day isn't enough
    to make any guy fall for her.
[05:11] Yujiro
    You agree she's not an
    attractive girl, right?
[05:16] Nagisa
    Hiyori's a good person.
[05:18] Yujiro
    And that's all, right?
[05:20] Nagisa
    Wrong!
[05:22] Yujiro
    You don't have to defend her
    just because you're old friends.
[05:24] Aizo
    Let's be real, Suzumi's just
    not girlfriend material.
[05:28] Nagisa
    She is! Hiyori's the only girl for me!
[05:35] Aizo
    Right, that settles it.
[05:37] Yujiro
    You do like Suzumi.
[05:44] Aizo
    Sorry for riling you up.
[05:46] Yujiro
    We just wanted to know your intentions.
[05:50] Nagisa
    I won't give up Hiyori, not even to an idol.
[05:55] Aizo/Yujiro
    Huh?
[05:56] Nagisa
    Ya can't have her!
[06:00] Hiyori
    Thanks for waitin'! The president's on her way.
[06:03] Hiyori
    Hmm? Is somethin' wrong?
[06:05] Nagisa
    Nope, all good.
[06:11] Nagisa
    Thank you for all you've done for Hiyori.
[06:13] Nagisa
    I brought you our local specialty.
SIGN    Dried Fugu
[06:16] Tamura
    Goodness! You're very kind.
[06:18] Nagisa
    I hope you'll enjoy it.
[06:21] Nagisa
    I'm sure Tokyo has plenty of good food,
    but this will give it competition.
[06:26] Tamura
    I look forward to it.
[06:28] Nagisa
    Please do!
[06:29] Uchida
    Nagisa-kun!
[06:31] Uchida
    Do you have any interest in show business?!
[06:33] Nagisa
    Huh?
[06:34] Uchida
    Good face, good body, incredibly likable!
[06:37] Uchida
    I think you'd make a great idol!
[06:40] Nagisa
    Thank you very much, but I'm going
    to continue the family business.
[06:45] Uchida
    Family?
[06:46] Hiyori
    Nagisa's family runs a restaurant.
    It's locally famous!
[06:50] Hiyori
    My father is a fisherman,
    and he supplies their fish.
[06:54] Nagisa
    We used to play together a lot,
    since our parents were always busy.
[07:00] Nagisa
    Right?
[07:00] Hiyori
    Yep!
[07:02] Nagisa
    When I take over, I'd like it to win
    even more love from its patrons.
[07:07] Nagisa
    That's my dream.
[07:09] Tamura
    It's a lovely dream.
[07:11] Uchida
    What a shame.
[07:16] Hiyori
    Where're ya stayin' tonight?
[07:18] Nagisa
    Hmm? A business hotel.
[07:20] Hiyori
    You could just stay with me.
[07:22] Nagisa
    Huh?
[07:24] Nagisa
    No, I couldn't!
[07:25] Hiyori
    Why not?
[07:26] Nagisa
    Seriously?
[07:29] Nagisa
    Anyway, I already booked it.
[07:32] Hiyori
    Aw, aren't we friends?
    Ya could've saved some money.
[07:37] Aizo
    She doesn't have a clue.
[07:40] Yujiro
    She's oblivious.
[07:44] ---
    This day was bound to come
[07:47] ---
    And break my "normal life"
[07:51] ---
    I thought I understood that
[07:55] ---
    "Good bye," you're not here
[07:59] ---
    You've left us behind
[08:02] ---
    In spite of any sad tears
[08:03] Nagisa
    All the members of FT4 are
    talented at what they do.
[08:06] ---
    You're still smiling
[08:07] Nagisa
    They're all unique personalities,
[08:09] Nagisa
    and it's the leader, IV-san,
    who holds 'em together.
[08:09] ---
    I'm certain you are
[08:12] Nagisa
    He produces everything FT4 does.
[08:15] Nagisa
    He may seem like a
    behind-the-scenes helper,
[08:17] Nagisa
    but really he's the pillar of the whole unit.
[08:30] YUI
    You guys had good energy today! Yay!
[08:34] DAI
    The best energy! Not as
    good as mine, of course.
[08:39] MEGU
    And there's DAI's famous, "Not as good as me."
[08:42] RIO
    Okay, settle down. We've got an important
    announcement for everyone today.
[08:47] Audience
    What is it?
[08:48] Audience
    Tell us!
[08:50] MEGU
    Hey, who should announce it?
[08:52] DAI
    Me, obviously.
[08:54] YUI
    I wanna argue my case, but we
     should all do it together.
[09:00] YUI;DAI;MEGU;RIO
    Full Throttle4 will appear on
    "Best Artist Countdown Live"!
[09:06] Audience
    Congratulations!
[09:11] RIO
    We have you to thank for getting
    chosen again this year.
[09:15] YUI
    Yay! We did it!
[09:17] DAI
    Like there was ever any doubt.
[09:19] MEGU
    True enough! And we're gonna
    keep cranking out hits!
[09:23] MEGU
    Come with us, everyone!
[09:24] Audience
    We will!
[09:31] Nagisa
    FT4's songs and performances are awesome,
[09:34] Nagisa
    but what I like is the way
    they all trust each other.
[09:37] Hiyori
    Yeah, trust is so important.
[09:41] Hiyori
    Even those two are totally in
    sync when it really counts.
[09:44] Nagisa
    "Those two"? You mean LIP×LIP?
[09:47] Hiyori
    Yep! I think they trust each other,
[09:50] Hiyori
    but they're always fightin',
    which is a problem.
[09:55] Hiyori
    Hello!
[09:57] Hiyori
    Ya look grumpy...
    Did ya have another fight?
[10:00] Aizo
    You think we have time to fight when
    FT4's going to be at the countdown?
[10:05] Yujiro
    We're going back to the office. Bye.
[10:10] Hiyori
    They're fired up! It was definitely
    worth comin' to the FT4 show.
[10:16] Nagisa
    Hey.
[10:18] Nagisa
    I bet you're hungry, yeah?
[10:21] Hiyori
    This'll be my first time tastin'
    your work! But aren't ya tired?
[10:26] Nagisa
    Nope. I brought my cookin'
    stuff just for this.
[10:30] Hiyori
    All this way?
[10:31] Nagisa
    When I got bullied
[10:35] Nagisa
    'cause people were jealous
    of me livin' at a restaurant,
[10:39] Nagisa
    you said, "The food at
    Nagisa's house is the best!"
[10:43] Hiyori
    Did I really say that?
[10:46] Nagisa
    Sure did.
[10:48] Nagisa
    So I always wanted to make somethin'
    delicious for ya someday.
[10:53] Hiyori
    Got it. I'm excited!
[11:02] Hiyori
    Oh, a personal knife set!
[11:05] Hiyori
    Wow, you're like a real chef!
[11:12] Nagisa
    All done!
[11:15] Hiyori
    Nice and healthy!
[11:20] Hiyori
    Thanks for dinner!
[11:22] Hiyori
    It was super delicious.
[11:24] Nagisa
    I'm glad. I wanted to cheer ya up.
[11:28] Hiyori
    Hmm?
[11:29] Nagisa
    I figured you'd be bummed out
    about not making nationals.
[11:34] Nagisa
    Ya seem fine, though.
[11:35] Hiyori
    I was bummed out, yeah. But then I got better.
[11:40] Hiyori
    Thanks to LIP×LIP.
[11:43] Hiyori
    I didn't really respect idols at first,
[11:47] Hiyori
    but watchin' their show really encouraged me.
[11:51] Hiyori
    That's a rosette they
    gave me. It's my treasure!
[11:57] Hiyori
    They pick on me, but sometimes
    they're really nice.
[12:02] Hiyori
    When they produced my outfit—
[12:04] Nagisa
    Listen.
[12:06] Nagisa
    At that wedding, when I said
     it didn't suit ya...
[12:12] Nagisa
    It's 'cause, well... you were
     too cute in a dress.
[12:18] Nagisa
    I didn't want someone to take ya away.
[12:26] Nagisa
    I...
[12:31] Nagisa
    I love you, Hiyori.
[12:39] Nagisa
    Oh, uh, I'm sorry that was so sudden!
[12:42] Nagisa
    I surprised ya, huh?
[12:46] Nagisa
    I'll go now. And I won't
    rush ya for an answer.
[12:50] Nagisa
    A call or text is fine.
[12:52] Nagisa
    Thanks for today.
[12:54] Nagisa
    I'm goin' home on the
    Shinkansen tomorrow. I'll see ya.
[13:04] Hiyori
    Um... Did he just...
[13:10] Hiyori
    confess his love?!
[13:13] Hiyori
    No way!
[13:27] Uchida
    Hiyoko?
[13:28] Uchida
    Hiyoko?
[13:30] Hiyori
    Y-Yes?
[13:32] Uchida
    Are you okay? You look exhausted.
[13:34] Hiyori
    I'm sorry. I didn't sleep much last night.
[13:38] Uchida
    You didn't? Well, there's nothing
    urgent today, so you can go home.
[13:43] Hiyori
    But...
[13:44] Uchida
    It's important to rest when you can.
[13:48] Uchida
    Understood?
[13:49] Hiyori
    Yes. I'm sorry.
[13:57] Hiyori
    Oh, hello.
[13:59] Aizo
    Yo.
[14:00] Yujiro
    Hi.
[14:09] Yujiro
    Nagisa told you he loved you?
[14:12] Hiyori
    How do you know?
[14:14] Aizo
    It was obvious how into you he was.
[14:18] Hiyori
    I had no idea!
[14:20] Yujiro
    Because you're oblivious.
[14:23] Hiyori
    What should I do?!
[14:25] Aizo
    Just do what you want.
[14:27] Hiyori
    I don't know what I want!
[14:32] Aizo
    He doesn't seem like bad boyfriend material.
[14:35] Yujiro
    Far from it. He's a catch.
[14:37] Yujiro
    Good looks, good personality, good family.
[14:41] Aizo
    Isn't that the ideal prince?
[14:43] Hiyori
    P-Prince?
[14:45] Yujiro
    You want to be a heroine.
[14:47] Yujiro
    Marrying a handsome prince
    isn't a bad gig for a heroine, right?
[14:55] Hiyori
    Sure, I want to be a heroine if I can...
[15:00] Hiyori
    But...
[15:05] Hiyori
    Help!
[15:11] Juri
    That "help" out of nowhere
    made me laugh so hard!
[15:14] Hiyori
    It's not funny.
[15:16] Hiyori
    I'm sorry to call ya so suddenly.
[15:19] Juri
    Don't be sorry! We're happy to help.
[15:22] Juri
    Right?
[15:23] Chizuru
    Yeah. We're friends.
[15:25] Hiyori
    Thank you!
[15:28] Juri
    Oho, I bet Nagisa's popular!
[15:31] Chizuru
    He's hot.
[15:33] Hiyori
    You have a boyfriend, right, Juri-chan?
[15:36] Juri
    Yup, we're in puppy love!
[15:38] Hiyori
    I don't really get romance...
    When did ya know you liked him?
[15:43] Juri
    Hmm, I'm not sure...
[15:49] Juri
    He works at a café I go to.
[15:51] Juri
    At first I was like, "He's a
    nice guy who's easy to talk to."
[15:55] Juri
    He wasn't my type at all.
[15:57] Juri
    But as we kept meeting and talking,
    somewhere along the way I thought,
[16:03] Juri
    "He's great... I like him..."
[16:06] Juri
    Now I think he's the coolest in
    the world! He became my type.
[16:10] Hiyori
    That sounds romantic!
[16:13] Juri
    Romance is pretty great.
[16:15] Juri
    If you're not sure about him,
    you can date him to find out.
[16:18] Hiyori
    Well, but...
[16:21] Chizuru
    Love confessions from childhood
    friends should be accepted! Always!
[16:26] Hiyori
    Uh, why?
[16:27] Chizuru
    All girls wish for a hot childhood friend!
[16:30] Chizuru
    For him to tell you, "I've always loved you,"
[16:34] Chizuru
    is a dream situation often
    seen in shojo manga and anime!
[16:37] Chizuru
    Turning that down is not right!
[16:38] Hiyori
    R-Really?
[16:39] Chizuru
    Really! A cool childhood
    friend saying he loves you—
[16:42] Chizuru
    in other words, a prince on a white horse
    coming for you—that's total heroine stuff!
[16:45] Juri
    Isn't it kinda cliché?
[16:47] Chizuru
    What's wrong with clichés?!
[16:49] Chizuru
    Clichés are fine. No, clichés are great!
[16:52] Chizuru
    I wish I was fortunate enough to
    think this was a problem, Suzumi-san!
[16:57] Chizuru
    It's not fair.
[16:59] Juri
    There, there, Chizuru. Calm down.
[17:07] Chizuru
    Sorry.
[17:09] Hiyori
    Does a confession mean ya stop bein' friends?
[17:13] Hiyori
    Nagisa's been my best friend since we
    were kids. I don't wanna lose that.
[17:20] Juri
    I bet he doesn't, either.
[17:23] Juri
    "I hope she says yes, but what'll
    I do if she turns me down?"
[17:30] Juri
    I'm sure he worries about that.
[17:34] Juri
    It was really brave of him to tell you.
[17:38] Juri
    So tell him how you really feel.
[17:43] Hiyori
    How I really feel...
[17:53] Hiyori
    Nagisa!
[18:09] Nagisa
    Hiyori...
[18:12] Hiyori
    I'm sorry.
[18:14] Hiyori
    I can't date ya right now.
[18:20] Nagisa
    Do ya like someone else?
[18:23] Hiyori
    Huh?
[18:24] Nagisa
    Is it one of the LIP×LIP guys?
[18:27] Hiyori
    Huh?
[18:27] Hiyori
    No, no! Definitely no!
[18:30] Hiyori
    I'm just the manager-in-trainin'.
    I don't have feelings for either of them.
[18:35] Nagisa
    But they "encouraged" ya.
[18:37] Hiyori
    Yeah, when I heard them sing
    and watched their show.
[18:40] Hiyori
    Like how watchin' FT4 made you feel good!
[18:43] Nagisa
    Why, then?
[18:46] Hiyori
    I'm havin' so much fun, is the thing.
[18:49] Hiyori
    School, and track, and the
    manager-in-trainin' job...
[18:52] Hiyori
    It's like I'm runnin' all-out at all of them.
[18:55] Hiyori
    Sometimes I'm dead tired,
    but they're all important to me.
[18:59] Hiyori
    So I can't imagine stoppin'
    or givin' up on one of them.
[19:04] Hiyori
    I want to see them all
    through. So... I guess I...
[19:11] Nagisa
    ...can't think about love right now?
[19:24] Hiyori
    Wh-What?!
[19:29] Nagisa
    You look good when ya dress up,
[19:32] Nagisa
    but I also think ya look good when
    you're runnin' and covered in sweat.
[19:37] Nagisa
    I jumped the gun, huh?
    Sorry for puttin' ya through that.
[19:42] Hiyori
    Listen, there's somethin' I want to tell ya.
[19:46] Hiyori
    Not on the phone or in a text, but in person.
[19:50] Hiyori
    Thank you for tellin' me how ya feel!
[19:54] Hiyori
    I was surprised, but also happy.
[19:57] Nagisa
    Really?
[19:58] Hiyori
    Mm-hmm! I didn't think anyone
    would ever tell me they loved me.
[20:04] Hiyori
    But you gave me confidence
    that I can become a heroine.
[20:08] Nagisa
    You are a heroine, Hiyori.
    To me, ya always are.
[20:16] Hiyori
    Oh my gosh, why am I blushin'?!
    That made me so self-conscious!
[20:21] Nagisa
    Me, too.
[20:25] Nagisa
    I'll come to Tokyo when
    I graduate high school.
[20:29] Hiyori
    What?
[20:30] Nagisa
    Just inheritin' the place
    isn't enough, I don't think.
[20:33] Nagisa
    I need to attend college
    here to study business,
[20:36] Nagisa
    plus train at some restaurants.
[20:39] Nagisa
    I'll work hard, too.
[20:41] Hiyori
    So can I see you again?
[20:44] Hiyori
    Mm-hmm.
[20:52] Hiyori
    See ya later, Nagisa!
[21:03] Uchida
    Hiyoko! This too, please!
[21:06] Hiyori
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:10] Hiyori
    What?
[21:11] Yujiro
    You're back to normal.
[21:13] Aizo
    Why do you look frumpy again?
[21:16] Hiyori
    I had fun thanks to you guys
    dressin' me up, I swear.
[21:20] Hiyori
    But skirts are hard to run in.
[21:22] Yujiro
    That's a weird way to think.
[21:24] Aizo
    Maybe you're not cut out to be a heroine.
[21:27] Hiyori
    That's where you're wrong.
[21:28] Hiyori
    I'm gonna be a powerful heroine
    who's good at track and management!
[21:32] Aizo
    Love confessions won't come often, you know.
[21:35] Yujiro
    That might've been your
    only chance at being a heroine.
[21:39] Hiyori
    That's not true! I can do it if I try!
[21:42] Aizo
    Sure, do your best.
[21:44] Yujiro
    I'll say a prayer for you.
[21:46] Hiyori
    Aw, stop teasin' me!
