[00:06] Seiya
The stage is where idols shine.
[00:10] Seiya
The dazzling lights...
[00:12] Seiya
The endless cheers...
[00:14] Seiya
It's like something out of a dream world!
[00:16] Seiya
But this isn't the goal.
It's merely the start.
[00:21] Seiya
I'm not an idol yet.
[00:24] Seiya
* I'm just a fledgling...
[00:26] Seiya
halfway to being an idol.
[00:28] Seiya
I am...
[00:30] Seiya
We are...
[00:52] [SONG] song
If you look back... See? A shooting star
[00:58] [SONG] song
I want you. Oh!
[01:00] [SONG] song
You saw everything, everything, didn't you?
[01:06] [SONG] song
I need you. Oh!
[01:08] [SONG] song
So, all the encounters and partings
[01:12] [SONG] song
were a path leading to today
[01:16] [SONG] song
If you want to quit, then quit
[01:20] [SONG] song
If you want to cry, then cry
[01:24] [SONG] song
I will continue on this path
[01:30] [SONG] song
There, shining the brightest
[01:33] [SONG] song
that brilliance is what I want to be
[01:37] [SONG] song
With love...
[01:38] [SONG] song
Hey!
[01:39] [SONG] song
and hard work
[01:40] [SONG] song
Hey!
[01:41] [SONG] song
With dreams...
[01:42] [SONG] song
Hey!
[01:43] [SONG] song
and destiny
[01:44] [SONG] song
Yeah!
[01:45] [SONG] song
It's only because you believed
that today has come
[01:53] [SONG] song
And now we begin, the path to being an idol

Say, what d'you think it is I'm lacking?

Every day I fight a difficult battle...

One day, when I look up at that stage...
[03:00] Seiya
Kanata! Akira!
[03:02] Seiya
If we don't sing louder,
we won't reach people's hearts.
[03:05] Kanata
Y-You say that, but...
[03:08] Kanata
This is my first time singing
on the street, so...
[03:11] Akira
Wouldn't it be better to practice
more before we get people to listen?
[03:15] Seiya
This! This song!
[03:17] Seiya
This is our Fire Fenyx jam!
[03:20] Seiya
I can't just sit still.

I want everyone to hear it right n—

Sorry, Akira, Kanata.

I made a mess of our live
street performance...
[03:54] Seiya
I'm sorry to Rabby-Rabby, too.
[03:57] Kanata
No, it's okay.
[03:59] Akira
We can just do it again.
[04:00] Akira
Next time, we'll practice properly first.
[04:08] Akira
Kanata, is something wrong?
[04:10] Kanata
No. It's nothing.
[04:13] Akira
I get the feeling he's scared.
[04:16] Akira
But why?
[04:19] Seiya
Kanata!
[04:21] Kanata
Huh?
[04:22] Kanata
Wh-What?!
[04:24] Seiya
Don't get so down!
[04:25] Seiya
This is a "we'll do better next time" hug!
[04:27] Kanata
C-Can't breathe...
[04:29] Seiya
Oh... Sorry.
[04:33] Seiya
Akira! I've gotta give you
a "we'll do better" hug too!
[04:36] Akira
Message received. I don't need a hug.
[04:44] Producer
This is Étoile Vio School.
[04:48] Producer
Young people who want
to become pop idols gather
[04:50] Producer
at this facility created
to polish their talents.
[04:53] Producer
A school to train and nurture them.
[04:56] Producer
We call these fledgling idols "IChu,"
[05:00] Producer
and we currently have three
classes of them enrolled here.
[05:05] Producer
Members of Class 3, who enrolled just this spring,
have been split into four groups
[05:10] Producer
and spend their days
learning many things...
[05:12] Seiya
Producer!
[05:14] Producer
Seiya-kun...
[05:15] Seiya
Whatcha doin'?
[05:17] Kanata
Seiya, you shouldn't bother her.
[05:19] Kanata
Can't you see she's filming?
[05:21] Seiya
Oh!
[05:22] Seiya
M-My bad.
[05:24] Producer
Don't worry. I'll be editing it later.
[05:26] Akira
What are you filming?
[05:28] Producer
Footage for promotional purposes.
[05:31] Producer
Publicity for Étoile Vio School.
[05:33] Producer
I also want to introduce
the new faces of Class 3.
[05:37] Producer
I thought I could upload it to Onsta.
[05:40] Producer
Perfect timing!
[05:41] Producer
I can start with you three.
[05:43] F∞F
What?
[05:45] Producer
Their group name is inspired
by the immortal firebird: Fire Fenyx.
[05:50] Producer
It's been a week since you started school.
[05:52] Producer
Are you all good friends now?
[05:54] Seiya
Of course we are!
[05:56] Seiya
The three of us get along
great all the time! Right?
[05:59] Kanata
Huh?
[06:00] Kanata
Oh, yeah.
[06:01] Akira
You could say that. For the time being.

as always today, Producer.
[06:55] Leon
Very beautiful!
SIGN Leon
[06:56] Producer
Thank you, Leon-kun...
[06:59] Producer
More importantly, you're
much too close to the camera.
[07:02] Producer
Could you step back a bit?
[07:04] Leon
Ooh, you're so cool.
But I like that about you!
[07:06] Leon
I love cool ladies!
[07:11] Noah
Let's take this seriously, shall we?
[07:14] Leon
I was just saying hello...
SIGN Noah
[07:16] Noah
Thank you for all your hard work, Producer.
[07:18] Noah
Welcome to I♥B's room.
[07:19] Producer
This is I♥B's leader, Noah-kun.
[07:21] Producer
Everyone in I♥B is
from a different country.
[07:24] Producer
It must be hard bringing them all together.
[07:26] Noah
Our nationalities and
languages don't hamper us.
[07:29] Noah
Why, you ask?
[07:33] Noah
Because we're joined by music!
[07:38] Producer
And here's our group of idol artists: ArS.

Won't you have some tea?
[08:09] Producer
No, thank you...
[08:10] Raku
What's wrong?
[08:11] Producer
With ArS, I just never know where to focus.

Everyone is free, doing what they love.
SIGN Amabe Shiki
[08:19] Producer

There's one more...
[08:26] Producer
Oh! There he is.
[08:28] Producer

Please don't come any closer!
SIGN Tobikura Akio
[08:33] Akio
I'm sorry...
[08:35] Akio

[08:38] Producer
Then I'll just zoom in from here...
[08:40] Akio
Please don't film me!
[08:42] Akio
Videos, pictures... I can't!
[08:45] Akio
I just can't!
[08:50] Principal
B-B-B-Bonjour!
[08:52] Principal
This is an announcement*
from your principal, Kuma.
[08:56] Principal
All IChu from Class 3,
[08:59] Principal
please assemble in the
auditorium immediately!
[09:07] Seiya
Hey! Looks like everyone's here.
[09:21] Producer
All of Class 3 is present, correct?
[09:24] Producer
Take it away, Principal Kuma Kocho.
[09:41] Raku
He made one impactful entrance
at the opening ceremony, but...
[09:45] Raku
It's quite impressive today as well.
[09:49] Shiki
That's a legendary idol for you.
[09:51] Shiki
Never a boring entrance.
[09:53] Kyosuke
I'm going to use this idea in my manga!
[10:00] Principal
I'm Principal Kuma!
[10:03] Torahiko
We know!
[10:08] Principal
It has now been a week
since you all joined our school.
[10:10] Principal
Are you boys having fun being IChu?!
[10:13] guys
Yeah!
[10:15] Seiya
Tons of fun!
[10:18] Principal
Do you boys want to make CDs?!
[10:21] guys
We do!
[10:23] Mutsuki
What's with this energy?
[10:25] Satsuki
I don't get it.
[10:26] Principal
Then I want you to make three thousand CDs
and sell them all in the next three months!
[10:32] guys
Let's sell 'em!
[10:34] Principal
And if you cannot complete this
assignment, you shall be expelled!
[10:37] guys
Expelled!
[10:40] everyone
Huh?
[10:43] Principal
Work hard so you don't get expelled, okay?
[10:46] Principal
Wishing you the best in your brave fight...
[10:49] Principal
Here's to the IChu of Class 3!
SIGN I★CHU
SIGN I★CHU
[11:07] Chaoyang
Make and sell three thousand
CDs within three months?
[11:11] Chaoyang
And if we can't, we'll be expelled?
[11:14] Chaoyang
That means they want us to leave, doesn't it?
[11:17] Leon
We practically just got here
and they're trying to kick us out?
[11:20] Leon
The principal's crazy.
[11:22] Lucas
That's what he's like.
[11:25] Noah
No problem.
[11:29] Noah
One day, our music will be famous,
resounding throughout the world.
[11:33] Noah
Three thousand copies of a CD
is but a rung on that ladder.
[11:38] Noah
Isn't that right, everyone?
[11:41] Leon
That's true!
[11:43] Rabi
What about our music?
[11:44] Rabi
They handed out demo songs
to each group, but...
[11:47] Lucas
We don't need that.
[11:49] Lucas
We'll make our music ourselves.
[11:52] Lucas
Right, Leader?
[11:53] Noah
Right.
[11:56] Noah
I♥B, engage!
[12:00] Satsuki
Three thousand CDs, huh?
[12:02] Satsuki
That's a pretty high hurdle to throw at us.
[12:04] Mutsuki
Yeah... But nothing's impossible
so long as you're with me, Satsuki.
[12:12] both
We're the absolute best together!
[12:15] Shiki
Quite a hard assignment, isn't it?
[12:17] Shiki
What shall we do, Leader?
[12:26] Torahiko
Got it!
[12:28] Akio
G-Got what?
[12:30] Torahiko
The god of art has descended!
[12:34] Torahiko
I'm just gonna go on a short
journey! Be right back!
[12:39] Kyosuke
The deadline for my manuscript is
coming up, so if you'll excuse me...
[12:43] Hikaru
I'll take my leave as well.
[12:45] Hikaru
To further polish this beauty,
I have an appointment with an aesthetician.
[12:49] Raku
I suppose I'll be on my way too.
[12:51] Raku
Farewell.
[12:53] Shiki
Same here. Gonna go find me
some cute little kittens to hit on.
[13:01] Akio
I wanna leave too...
[13:04] Seiya
Making a CD and selling it...
It's like being real idols!
[13:08] Seiya
I'm all fired up!
[13:10] Seiya
What gives? What's eating the two of you?
[13:13] Kanata
Three thousand copies...
That's a pretty tough number.
[13:17] Seiya
What? Is it?
[13:18] Akira
We haven't even debuted yet.
Selling three thousand copies is a bit...
[13:23] Akira
What is the principal thinking?
[13:25] Kanata
Do you think we'll really
be expelled if we can't do it?
[13:30] Seiya
Let's just do it!
[13:31] Seiya
We'll never know until we try, right?
[13:35] Kanata
Yeah, you're right. We've gotta do it.
[13:38] Akira
You say that, but where do we start?
SIGN Principal's Office
[13:43] Principal
How did everyone seem?
[13:46] Producer
It's been a week since they joined us.
[13:48] Producer
Their group solidarity
and individual abilities vary,
[13:52] Producer
but in general, they seem to be having fun.
[13:54] Producer
It's just...
[13:56] Principal
Is something bothering you?
[14:00] Producer
Fire Fenyx is...
[14:10] Seiya
We've arrived!
[14:11] Seiya
Wait here just a minute, okay?
[14:13] Seiya
I'm gonna go get us something to drink!
[14:17] Kanata
And he's gone...
[14:20] Akira
Yeah.
[14:27] Akira
So... wanna sit?
[14:30] Kanata
S-Sure.
[14:39] Akira
Kanata, are you scared of me or something?
[14:42] Kanata
It's not that.
[14:44] Akira
Really?
[14:46] Kanata
I get anxious around people...
[14:48] Kanata
and I'm a little uncomfortable
around tall people.
[14:52] Kanata
Sorry.
[14:53] Akira
No, don't apologize.
[14:56] Akira
You can't help it.
[14:58] Kanata
Sorry.
[15:01] Producer
It's like their feelings don't align.
[15:03] Producer
It just doesn't seem like they've
gotten as far as having fun yet.
[15:07] Principal
Kanata-kun and Akira-kun have both
worked in entertainment before, no?
[15:12] Principal
Minato Kanata-kun was a child star
who took the world by storm.
[15:17] Principal
Everyone was looking forward to his
future, but he quit acting.
[15:21] Principal
Mitsurugi Akira-kun first debuted as a model.
[15:24] Principal
He was popular and everything
seemed to be going well,
[15:27] Principal
but then he suddenly disappeared
from the world of modeling.
[15:31] Producer
I wonder what could have happened.
[15:33] Principal
What indeed...
[15:34] Principal
I don't know the details, but I'm
sure those two know all too well...
[15:40] Principal
the fear of failure.
[15:43] Seiya
Sorry for the wait!
[15:44] Seiya
Black coffee for Akira.
[15:46] Seiya
And apple juice for Kanata, right?
[15:49] Seiya
My treat.
[15:50] Akira
Thank you.
[15:52] Kanata
How did you know what I like to drink?
[15:55] Seiya
Well, because I've been
watching this whole time.
[15:58] Seiya
I mean, you gotta know
what your friends like, right?
[16:01] Seiya
I want to know more about you guys, too.
[16:05] Seiya
So let's talk some more!
[16:07] Seiya
That's the first thing I want to do.
[16:10] Seiya
But before that, cheers!
[16:22] Kanata
Do you think...
[16:24] Kanata
we can really become idols?
[16:26] Seiya
Of course we can!
Let's do it together, the three of us!
[16:29] Kanata
But we're too different.
[16:32] Kanata
Our singing and our dancing
never seem to match up, either.
[16:35] Akira
I don't know if we can make it as a group.
[16:46] Seiya
What's wrong with being different?
[16:49] Kanata and Akira
What?
[16:50] Seiya
If we don't match up,
we can just keep working at it.
[16:53] Seiya
The most important thing is
that we do all we can, you know?
[16:56] Seiya
The two of you haven't given it
everything you've got yet, have you?
[17:02] Seiya
I have a dream.
[17:07] Seiya
A year ago, I heard someone's song...
[17:11] Seiya
Showered in cheers and enthusiasm,
[17:14] Seiya
he sang confidently all alone.
The sight was just...
[17:17] Seiya
It was so cool, it was electrifying!
[17:24] Seiya
His voice radiated powerful, encouraging
color that wouldn't lose out to anything.
[17:31] Akira
Color?
[17:31] Seiya
Yeah.
[17:33] Seiya
Good songs have colors.
[17:36] Seiya
His awe-inspiring figure
was just like a samurai's.
[17:42] Seiya
When I saw him, I thought...
[17:44] Seiya
"I wanna be like that, too!"
[17:47] Seiya
That's why...
[17:49] Seiya
I'm gonna be the number one samurai idol!
[17:55] Kanata
A samurai? That's just like you, Seiya.
[17:58] Akira
If I had that kind of passion, then—
[18:01] Seiya
You do! Both of you!
[18:02] Kanata and Akira
Huh?
[18:03] Seiya
You became IChu because
you have dreams, too, didn't you?
[18:11] Seiya
Okay! I'm gonna sing.
[18:13] Seiya
For you, Kanata and Akira.
[18:14] Kanata and Akira
What?
[18:16] Seiya
When I heard that guy sing,
it just filled me with power!
[18:21] Seiya
So in hopes of cheering the two of you up...
[18:29] Seiya
Say, what d'you think it is I'm lacking?
[18:32] Seiya
Every day I fight a difficult battle...
[18:35] Seiya
But, "Oh, I wish I could quit this,"
[18:38] Kanata
I can feel it reverberating
gently in my heart...
[18:39] Seiya
is something I've never once thought.
[18:43] Seiya
The dream I found when I was little
[18:43] Kanata
as though it's healing my wounds.
[18:46] Seiya
like a meteor shower racing through the sky...
[18:49] Seiya
Oh, I know I'll never regret it.
[18:53] Akira
Something in me is broken, missing.
[18:54] Seiya
It's just as I thought.
[18:57] Seiya
One day, when I look up at that stage...
[18:58] Akira
I don't know whether
I'll be able to become an idol.
[19:00] Akira
But if I'm with these two, then maybe...
[19:00] Seiya
though it feels so very far away...
[19:04] Seiya
You can hear that signal to start, right?
[19:09] Seiya
It's just for us!
[19:19] F∞F
Shine! Shine! Like jewels!
[19:22] F∞F
Sing! Sing! Until I sparkle!
[19:26] F∞F
With you by my side, smiling at me...
[19:27] Kanata
What is this?
[19:29] Kanata
Our voices keep spreading
farther and farther...
[19:30] F∞F
So that I'm worthy of you...
[19:32] F∞F
Shine! Shine! Brighter than a diamond!
[19:35] Seiya
This is so much fun!
[19:35] F∞F
Sing! Sing! I want to twinkle brightly
[19:39] F∞F
right by your side...
[19:45] [SONG] F∞F
Shine! Shine! Like jewels
[19:49] [SONG] F∞F
Sing! Sing! Until I sparkle

No matter how much I sang,
I could never see the colors.

I missed you, Noah!
[03:25] Akira
You know him, Seiya?
[03:28] Seiya
Yeah!
[03:29] Seiya
When I was a kid, I lived in the States
and Noah's house was really close by.
[03:34] Noah
You could say we're childhood friends.
[03:36] Seiya
We haven't seen each other in seven years!
[03:37] Kanata
Huh? But Noah-kun's been here
since the entrance ceremony.
[03:41] Kanata
Seiya, you didn't notice until now?
[03:43] Seiya
What?
[03:46] Seiya
I wonder why...
[03:47] Noah
Seiya's straightforward,
[03:48] Noah
so when he's engrossed in something,
he can't see the world around him.
[03:51] Noah
I noticed right away, though.
[03:53] Rabi
Noah, if you want to catch up,
I can go on ahead...
[03:57] Noah
No.
[03:58] Noah
Another time, Seiya.
[03:59] Seiya
Yeah!
[04:00] Seiya
Later!
[04:04] Seiya
Huh?
[04:05] Seiya
Noah comes from a family of doctors,
so I thought he'd ended up being one too.
[04:10] Seiya
I wonder why he became an IChu...
[04:14] Kyosuke
I just can't think of a story!
[04:16] Hikaru
It's a sin to be this beautiful!
[04:21] Akio
It doesn't seem like anyone's
intent on recording anything...
[04:24] Akio
And our leader is... missing...
[04:29] Akio
U-Um, is it really okay that
we're not working on our CD?
[04:33] Shiki
Hmm...
[04:34] Shiki
We're probably fine for a while.
[04:35] Akio
But if we don't sell three thousand,
aren't we going to be expelled?
[04:39] Raku
That wouldn't bother me.
[04:41] Akio
What?
[04:42] Akio
But I thought everyone was here
because they wanted to be idols...
[04:46] Akio
Well, not quite.
[04:49] Akio
In my case...
[04:51] Akio
I was taking a manuscript I'd drawn
to the editorial department,
[04:54] Akio
and I tripped...
[04:56] Akio
My manuscript went everywhere.
[04:58] (Flashback) Shiki
Kyo-chan, you're such a klutz.
[05:02] Akio
That's when the principal scouted me.
[05:06] Akio
Although, I was a little fuzzy
from working all night
[05:08] Akio
so I don't remember it all that well...
[05:10] Akio
But before I knew it, I was an IChu!
[05:13] Akio
What about you, Shikitty?
[05:15] Shiki
The principal was interested
in a pot my master had made.
[05:19] Shiki
He said, "You can't have the pot,
but I'll give you my apprentice,"
[05:22] Shiki
and kicked me out.
[05:24] Ahiki
What about you, Hikaru-kun?
[05:25] Hikaru
I'm here so that I may become part
of the Takarazuka Musical Troupe.
[05:30] Akio
I thought only women could join...
[05:33] Raku
He went to an audition dressed as one,
[05:36] Raku
but they discovered him and tossed him out.
[05:40] Raku
That's when the principal found him.
[05:44] Hikaru
Beauty has nothing to do with gender, you see.
[05:46] Raku
I was accompanying him,
and so I was scouted as well.
[05:51] Shiki
If you're wondering, Tora-chan
was drawing at the airport
[05:55] Shiki
when the principal scouted him.
[05:57] Shiki
He said he agreed because he was
told he'd be free to do what he liked.
[06:03] Akio
Will a group like this even work?
[06:08] Producer
You're nailing this, Akira-kun!
[06:11] Producer
That's a former model for you!
[06:18] Producer
Now, we'll use this one for the jacket.
[06:21] Producer
We'll deliver the CDs
as soon as they're ready.
[06:24] Seiya
Say, Producer, why did Noah become an IChu?
[06:29] Producer
Noah-kun?
[06:30] Producer
He was scouted by the principal.
[06:32] Producer
I♥B's been getting attention
since before they were IChu.
[06:35] Kanata
Wow, that's amazing.
[06:37] Seiya
You mean they were doing stuff in the US
before they came to Japan?
[06:40] Producer
Hardly. The members all hail
from different countries,
[06:44] Producer
so they only first met not long
before the entrance ceremony.
[06:48] Seiya
Really?
[06:49] Akira
If they're all from different countries,
how were they working as a band?
[06:53] Producer
They connected on the internet,
made music together,
[06:55] Producer
and shared it on social media.
[06:57] Producer
Since they're from all over the globe,
[06:59] Producer
they call themselves the
"International Boys Band"
[07:02] Producer
or "I♥B" for short.
[07:07] Leon
Woo! That was a good one, right?
[07:11] Noah
Well, it certainly wasn't bad, but...
[07:13] Chaoyang
Um... Is it because of my performance?
[07:17] Noah
No, it's not that.
[07:19] Noah
It just feels like something's missing.
[07:21] Rabi
Should we try a different arrangement?
[07:23] Leon
We've got fans worldwide, you know?
[07:26] Leon
We could sell three thousand CDs
with that jam, easy!
[07:29] Lucas
Don't be arrogant.
[07:31] Lucas
Our fans aren't so naïve.
[07:32] Leon
But what's the point in playing
if you aren't having fun?
[07:35] Lucas
If you don't give it your all,
you'll never play anything good.
[07:40] Rabi
Drop it, you two!
[07:43] Leon
Jeez, this is exhausting.
[07:51] Akio
What do I do now?
[08:09] Producer
Akio-kun!
[08:11] Producer
Are you okay?
[08:15] Akio
I'm scared of women!
[08:26] Lucas
Who are you?
[08:28] Akio

[08:44] Akio
Thank you.
[08:46] Akio
You're so kind...
[08:48] Noah
Nothing to cry over, is there?
[08:51] Akio
I'm not good at anything.
[08:54] Akio
I'm not confident I can make it as an IChu.
[08:56] Chaoyang
I totally understand.
I'm not confident about this, either.
[09:02] Leon
Man, I'm beat!
[09:04] Leon
Why don't we call it a day for practice?
[09:07] Lucas
If you don't care, just leave!
[09:09] Akio
I'm sorry!
[09:14] Rabi
How about we all have tea together
for a change of pace?
[09:18] Noah
Sounds good.
[09:20] Lucas
I'll pass.
[09:21] Noah
Lucas?
[09:22] Lucas
I came to Japan to make music.
[09:25] Lucas
I have no obligation to do
anything else with you.
[09:30] Leon
Practice is over!
[09:32] Leon
I'm gonna go hit on some Japanese girls!
[09:37] Chaoyang
Um, if practice is over,
then I'll excuse myself.
[09:42] Rabi
Goodness...
[09:52] Akio
I wasn't the one
who applied for the audition.
[09:54] Akio
It was my older sisters!
I told them that!
[09:57] Akio
I told them I never wanted to be an IChu!
[10:02] Akio
Principal...

Why did you pass me on the audition?!

Sorry for the trouble, Sebastian.
[10:42] Sebastian
Not at all.
[10:44] Sebastian
I'm simply doing my job.
[10:52] Sebastian
Everyone hurried back to their rooms, I see.
[10:55] Noah
There seems to be some dissonance.
[11:00] Noah
We're all over the place.
[11:02] Sebastian
It's only natural.
[11:05] Sebastian
You come from completely
different countries and lifestyles.
[11:09] Sebastian
Merely living under the same roof
won't unite you, I'm afraid.
[11:13] Sebastian
It isn't as simple as that.
[11:15] Noah
Then what should we do?
[11:18] Sebastian
You're the one who brought everyone together
and created the band, Noah-sama.
[11:22] Sebastian
Isn't this where, as the leader...
[11:24] Sebastian
you need to take a stand?
[11:30] Akio

[11:31] Akio
I just want to make beautiful glasswork.

Hey! You're good at this, too, Rabi.
[12:39] Rabi
I cooked a lot with my older sister.

Adding this should make

A secret ingredient.

It was only a small explosion,
so it shouldn't be a problem.

No, there are way too many problems to list.

being meowed over...
[16:14] Shiki
Sounds like heaven to me.
[16:16] Akio
I'm telling you, that's why ArS is—
[16:18] Torahiko
This is gonna be fun!
[16:19] Akio
Huh?
[16:20] Torahiko
Have you ever heard of an idol
who's uncomfortable around women?
[16:22] Torahiko
I haven't!
[16:23] Torahiko
It's totally new, right?
[16:25] Kyosuke
You're a real character, Akki!
[16:27] Kyosuke
I'm gonna use this in my manga!
[16:29] Akio
U-Um, won't you all please hear me out—
[16:31] Hikaru
Also, I've been wondering for a while...
[16:34] Hikaru
Where do they sell that glass
accessory you have on your desk?
[16:37] Akio
Huh? That?
[16:39] Akio
That's just a glass bead I made.
[16:43] Hikaru
I see!
[16:45] Hikaru
To be able to create
something so beautiful...
[16:47] Hikaru
You must undoubtedly have
a beautiful heart, Tobikura Akio.
[16:50] Akio
What?
[16:52] Torahiko
That's it!
[16:54] Torahiko
My artistic spirit is on fire!
[16:57] Torahiko
Guys, we're recording!
[16:59] Akio
Huh?
[16:59] Kyosuke
Okay!
[17:00] Hikaru
Very well. I shall treat you all
to my beautiful voice!
[17:04] Raku
If Hikaru's doing it,
then I suppose I will too.
[17:07] Shiki
Let's go, Akio.
[17:08] Akio
But I...
[17:10] Shiki
You're free to do what you want, Akio.
[17:13] Shiki
But since you're a member of ArS,
why don't you give us a try? Just once?
[17:19] Akio
Maybe just once...

Do you remember, Noah?
[20:38] Seiya
We sang together in a

[20:44] Seiya
Back then, I thought...
[20:46] Seiya
"Singing with someone is tons of fun!"
[20:50] Seiya
So I want you to hear
what I sang with my friends!
[20:56] Noah
I thought the same thing, Seiya.
[20:59] Noah
Singing with other people is fun.

That's why I started a band.

Now, then...

your CD sales haven't increased
at all. What's going on?

It's true we haven't sold any,

Oh? So hard work equals CD sales?

Wait, do we have female IChu here?
[06:00] Akira
There shouldn't be any.
[06:03] Kanata and Akira
Which means...
[06:05] Kanata and Akira
that's a guy?
[06:07] Kokoro
That's right.
[06:08] Kokoro
And Kokoro is aiming to be the world's

An otokonoko idol?!

This is a sham! It can't be true!
How can a guy be that cute?!
[06:19] Shiki
I mean, I could tell.
[06:21] Leon
What?
[06:22] Kokoro
My cuteness and my perfect performances
[06:25] Kokoro
are all the results of daily hard work.
[06:27] Kokoro
Compared to that...
[06:29] Kokoro
I do wonder about all of you.
[06:32] Kokoro
If people find out you softies
are from the same agency as me,
[06:36] Kokoro
it would damage my reputation,
don't you think?
[06:38] Rabi
What did you say?
[06:40] Lucas
Talking down to us like that...
[06:43] Noah
You don't know anything.
We'd prefer you didn't speak to us that way.

Oh?
[06:48] Kokoro
Are you trying to suggest that you've
put in the same hard work I have?
[06:54] Kokoro
That's quite brave of you.
[06:55] Kokoro
Then... would you like to see
if you can keep up with me?

[08:39] Kokoro
Banding together is for the weak.
[08:42] Seiya
What's wrong with helping each
other when things are tough?
[08:45] Seiya
Kokoro, even you must have had—
[08:45] Kokoro
I have no need for others!
[08:48] Kokoro
The only person I can count on is me!
[08:51] Kokoro
You all get it now, don't you?
[08:53] Kokoro
You are beneath Kokoro.
Hardly even worth talking about.
[08:57] Kokoro
Bye, now!
[08:59] Leon
Hold on!
[09:00] Leon
On stage, we're just as good as you!
[09:03] Rabi

I wish you wouldn't judge us
just based on this training.
[09:07] Satsuki Mutsuki
Yeah! Yeah!
[09:13] Kokoro
Kokoro will be holding

[09:15] Kokoro
Would you all like to try

[09:19] Kokoro
It'd be a wonderful experience for you,

Those are some nice terms.

[10:09] Akira
Yes, of course.
[10:15] girl
I haven't seen you lately.
[10:17] girl
Have you quit modeling?
[10:22] Seiya
He's an IChu with us, now!
[10:24] Seiya
He's not modeling, but he's
working hard at being an idol!
[10:27] girl
An idol?
[10:29] Seiya
We even have a CD!
[10:30] Seiya
Care to buy one?
[10:32] girl
I'd love to! Thank you so much!
[10:38] Seiya
Akira?
[10:40] Seiya
You okay?
[10:41] Akira
Oh, yeah...
[10:43] Seiya
All right! We got our first CD sale!
[10:46] Seiya
We better keep working hard!
[10:48] Kanata
At what?
[11:01] Noah
I hope you'll let us join you.
[11:30] Seiya
I'm as stiff as a board...
[11:33] Seiya
Does Kokoro really pack
all this training in every day?
[11:36] Seiya
Huh?
[11:42] Seiya
What're you two up to?
[11:44] Seiya
Neither of you showed up for training.
[11:46] ---
Hush!
[11:48] Satsuki
Doing that crazy stuff once was bad enough...
[11:51] Mutsuki
More importantly, look.
[11:55] Seiya
You're following Kokoro? Why?
[11:58] Satsuki
I told you to hush!
[12:00] Satsuki
I thought we might try to learn
Kokoro's weaknesses.
[12:03] Mutsuki
Satsuki, you are so bad.
[12:05] Seiya
Weaknesses?
[12:06] Satsuki
But you're curious, right?
[12:08] Mutsuki
You might get to see a side of him
you don't normally get to.
[12:11] Seiya
I'm in!

This is the avocado shrimp salad.

Thank you.
[12:57] Momosuke
You're just getting a salad,
Kokoro-chan? Are you sure?
[13:00] Kokoro
Yeah. I have a concert tomorrow.
Gotta show some restraint.
[13:04] Kokoro
It's so much fun eating with you guys,
so this is more than enough!
[13:07] Momosuke
Hey! My strawberry!
[13:11] Kokoro
I recommend this one.
[13:13] Kokoro
It has a really nice scent, and
it's amazing as a moisturizer.
[13:17] Momo
It's true! Your skin is so supple!
[13:19] Runa
What is this?
[13:21] Kokoro
Makeup base.
[13:23] Kokoro
It has sunblock in it, so it's really useful.
[13:25] Runa
I see.
[13:29] Kokoro
Ta-dah!
[13:30] Kokoro
What do you think?
[13:31] Momosuke
Wow! It looks amazing on you!

It's cute.

Runa, what do you think of this one?
[13:39] Runa
You think it would suit me?
[13:40] Kokoro
Yeah! Let's take a picture together!

Kokoro-san really seems like a girl.
[13:45] Satsuki
Yeah. No matter how you
look at him, he's a girl.
[13:49] Seiya
So he does have some real friends.
[13:54] Momosuke
Man, what a fun day!
[13:56] Kokoro
Well, I have to get back to school, so...
[13:59] Runa
Did you forget something?
[14:00] Kokoro
No. I still have more training to do.
[14:03] Momosuke
What? Don't push yourself too hard, okay?
[14:05] Kokoro
Who do you think I am?
[14:08] Kokoro
I'm POP'N STAR's Hanabusa Kokoro!

After all that intensive training,
he's going to do more?
[14:25] Mutsuki
I'm getting sleepy.
[14:27] Satsuki
And we didn't discover a single weakness!
[14:30] Satsuki
Should we head home?

[20:25] (Flashback) Satsuki
so of course things played out the way they did!
[20:27] (Flashback) Satsuki
You know?
[20:28] (Flashback) Mutsuki
Yeah...
[20:28] (Flashback) Kokoro
Is that what you think?
[20:30] (Flashback) Mutsuki
Huh?
[20:31] (Flashback) Kokoro
If they aren't your fans, you should
go on with the intent of making them yours.
[20:36] (Flashback) Kokoro
If you're naïve enough to think that
all you need to do is to make it to the stage,
[20:41] (Flashback) Kokoro
then you don't deserve to be IChu.
[20:49] Torahiko
Kokoro was a masterpiece on stage.
[20:52] Torahiko
Turning the stage into art...
That's what he does.
[21:05] Kanata
I could never put on

Don't say "never."
[21:10] Seiya
Say "I can't do it yet."

[07:29] Eva
But you have a good retainer at your side.
[07:33] Eva
Clear, unsullied eyes.
[07:34] Eva
A pure, unspoiled heart.
[07:36] Eva
Ah, Crimson Angel...
[07:38] Eva
Won't you consider serving me instead?
[07:41] Kanata
I'm not sure I follow...
You mean you want me to join your group?
[07:45] Seiya
You're scouting him?!
[07:46] Seiya
Kanata is a member of Fire Fenyx!
[07:51] Eva
A light attribute!
[07:53] Eva
What terrible radiance you have... Star Knight!
[07:56] Seiya
Star Knight? You mean me?
[07:58] Seiya
That's so cool!
[08:00] Mio
Eva-sama, you can't be serious!
[08:02] Mio
We're all RE:BERSERK needs...
No, it only needs you and me, Eva-sama!
[08:07] Ban
You left my name out!
[08:09] Mio
We don't need trash like you, Ban.
[08:10] Ban
What?!
[08:11] Ban
Don't call me trash...
[08:13] Eva
Calm yourselves, my servants.
[08:15] Mio
Of course, Eva-sama!
[08:17] Ban
Don't forget me, Eva-sama!
[08:19] Mio
I told you to get lost, trash!
[08:21] Ban
Oh, this is just how Mio hides his
embarrassment, so don't mind him.
[08:24] Mio
Who's trying to hide their embarrassment?!
[08:26] Eva
Sammy?
[08:30] Eva
I see.
[08:32] Eva
Crimson Angel!
[08:33] Eva
Let us meet at the edge of this world
before the moon wanes and falls.
[08:37] Eva
Farewell!
[08:38] Mio
Let me accompany you, Eva-sama!
[08:41] Ban
I'm coming, too!
[08:42] Mio
You don't have to come!
[08:45] Seiya
RE:BERSERK... is kind of incredible.
[08:48] Kanata
Yeah. They seem like they
get along really well.
[08:52] Seiya
Huh?
[08:53] Kanata
They were fussing a lot, but...
[08:55] Kanata
but didn't it feel like they
really understood each other?
[08:58] Seiya
That's true.
[08:59] Kanata
We still have a long way to go.
[09:03] Kanata
Like with Akira-kun... All I know
is that he used to be a model.
[09:08] Kanata
So it's really no wonder that I don't
understand what's troubling him now.
[09:22] Eva
I am Eva Armstrong.
[09:24] Eva
I have been observing you for
quite some time, Dark Sword.
[09:28] Akira
Dark Sword?
[09:30] Eva
It seems the power of darkness
is a smidge strong within you.
[09:34] Eva
I shall tell you this much...
[09:38] Eva
Your darkness dulls the
brilliance of your blade.
[09:43] Eva
Should you set your heart free,
you will find your true self.
[09:58] Kanata
Seiya, where are you going?
[09:59] Seiya
If we don't know anything about Akira,
[10:02] Seiya
then the best thing we can do
is ask him ourselves, right?
[10:05] Seiya
Akira!
[10:06] Seiya
Huh?
[10:21] (Flashback) senpai model
You're like a doll.
[10:23] (Flashback) senpai model
Your heart doesn't shine through.
[10:26] Akira
What heart...
[10:28] Raku
Indeed. Kokoro's heartfelt performance
was truly splendid, wasn't it?
[10:33] Akira
Waka!
[10:34] Shiki
Hey, Mitsurugi-kun. Drinking alone?
[10:37] Hikaru
You're as beautiful as ever today.
You and I both.
[10:50] Akira
Why do you keep sitting next to me?
[10:52] Raku
Why do you keep moving away?
[10:54] Hikaru
I'm fun to drink with, you know.
[10:56] Shiki
Mitsurugi-kun, we came here to talk over
what happened at Kokoro-san's show.
[11:01] Shiki
Care to join us?
[11:04] Akira
I'll pass.
[11:07] Raku
It seems you have something on your mind.
[11:11] Raku
In that case, how about a change of pace?
[11:14] Akira
What?

[11:54] Raku
You really know how to drink.
[11:55] Shiki
Let's keep 'em coming!
[11:58] Kanata
Really?
[11:59] Kanata
So you asked around
about Akira-kun for us?
[12:03] Seiya
Yeah.
[12:04] Seiya
Akio asked his older sister for us,
[12:07] Seiya
and apparently Akira was this amazing model!
[12:11] Seiya
He took off as soon as he debuted.

He was on magazine cover after cover,

of designers' collections!

[12:20] Seiya
But then, apparently, he quit
out of the blue one day.
[12:28] Kanata
Yeah. I've been looking at
some of the magazines he was in...
[12:33] Kanata
But not one says anything
about why he walked away.
[12:37] Kanata
His fans were taken by surprise
when he suddenly quit.
[12:44] Seiya
Come to think of it...
[12:46] Seiya
He didn't say why back then, either.
[12:49] Kanata
I wonder if something happened.
[12:52] Raku
Kokoro's concert was indeed splendid.
[12:55] Raku
But we simply need to create
our own signature performance.
[12:59] Shiki
That's true.
[13:01] Shiki
ArS should be able to create an
even more unique, fascinating show.
[13:05] Hikaru
With me around, that will be easy!
[13:08] Akira
I'm jealous.
[13:11] Akira
Fire Fenyx is...
[13:17] Raku
What's wrong?
[13:18] Akira
They're both working so hard...
[13:21] Akira
I'm a horrible person.
[13:24] Raku
This is serious business.
[13:25] Raku
Which calls for...
[13:27] Shiki
Got it!
[13:29] Shiki
Another round of beers, please!
[13:31] Hikaru
And a cocktail as pretty as I am!
[13:35] Seiya
Wow! Akira really does look cool.
[13:38] Kanata
Akira really seems a lot more grown up
than us in those photos, doesn't he?
[13:43] Seiya
Yeah.
[13:44] Seiya
Like, this is a real man!
[13:47] Kanata
Say, Seiya...
[13:48] Kanata
Do you think that might be
what's troubling Akira?
[13:52] Seiya
Huh?
[13:53] Kanata
I was a child actor, so I kind of get it.
[13:57] Kanata
The modeling world he comes from
is full of responsibilities...
[14:01] Kanata
It's all very grown-up.
[14:03] Kanata
We run on energy and momentum.
[14:05] Kanata
Maybe Akira-kun, as a grown-up,
doesn't feel like he keep up.
[14:12] Seiya
A grown-up, huh?
[14:15] Seiya
Oh, I know!
[14:17] Akira
I'm really the worst...
[14:20] Raku
There, there. Cheer up.
[14:23] Akira
No! It's all my fault...
[14:27] Akira
They sparkle and shine.
[14:29] Akira
I'm pitch-black...
[14:35] Shiki
So, the reason Fire Fenyx isn't doing well...
[14:38] Shiki
You think the problem lies
solely with you, Mitsurugi-kun?
[14:40] Raku
What's this? Are you suggesting
there's another reason?
[14:44] Shiki
Mitsurugi-kun aside,
the other two are mere children.
[14:47] Akira
What?
[14:49] Raku
That's true. They're not even drinking age.
[14:52] Raku
It's hard to speak with them as peers.
[14:54] Shiki
Exactly.
[14:55] Shiki
That's why Fire Fenyx just
can't seem to come together.
[14:59] Shiki
It's not you, Mitsurugi-kun. If those
kids would work a little harder—
[15:04] Raku
Oh?
[15:09] Akira
Don't badmouth them.
[15:15] Shiki
If I were a girl, I might just fall for you.
[15:18] Raku
Indeed. Akira's angry expression
is quite alluring.
[15:23] Akira
Did you make me angry on
purpose to get that photo?
[15:27] Hikaru
Photos? Raku, take pictures of me, too!
[15:30] Raku
Now, let's share it on Onsta...
[15:33] Raku
I'll tag it "Pheromone Prince."
[15:35] Akira
Don't—
[15:49] Akira
Now I've done it.
[15:57] Shiki
Mitsurugi-kun aside,
the other two are mere children.
[16:06] Raku
It's hard to speak with them as peers.
[16:10] Shiki
That's why Fire Fenyx just
can't seem to come together.
[16:27] Seiya
A pleasant morning, wouldn't you say, Kanata?
[16:30] Kanata
Indeed. I woke to the singing of birds.
[16:35] both
That's bitter!
[16:40] Seiya
The economy doesn't seem to be doing well.
[16:42] Kanata
Indeed. Stock prices have dropped.
[16:45] Seiya
Vegetable prices have come down!
[16:47] Kanata
What?
[16:48] Seiya
Huh?
[16:51] Seiya
I feel like we're missing the point.
[16:53] Kanata
Trying to be grown-up like
Akira-kun sure is difficult.
[17:00] Seiya
Oh, I know!
[17:01] Seiya
I've got it!

Yesterday was fun—
[17:24] Seiya
Kanata, you look so grown up!
[17:26] Kanata
Thanks. You look good too, Seiya.
[17:29] Seiya
Is there anything like Akira's scarf in here?
[17:31] Kanata
Hey, this would do the trick.

Good morning, Mitsurugi Akira...

you laugh so much, Akira-kun.
[18:19] Akira
What?
[18:21] Seiya
Yeah. That smile looks great on you.
[18:24] Seiya
I can really tell you're having a good time.
[18:29] Akira
You can tell... how I feel?

Yeah! Loud and clear.

Hey now...

[03:16] Kokoro
See? Here they come.
[03:29] Eva
It seems I've kept you waiting,
my little lost lambs.
[03:33] Issei
No one here is lost.
[03:37] Eva
Now, shall we begin?
[03:39] Eva
As a demon lord,
I have infinite time on my hands...
[03:43] Eva
but your human lives are
as fleeting as the twinkling of stars.
[03:46] Takamichi
You're the one who was late.
[03:48] Ban
Takamichi, you are so narrow-minded.
[03:51] Ban
Having a leisurely breakfast is a must.
[03:53] Takamichi
You're late because you were eating?
[03:55] Mio
Don't run your mouth
more than you have to!

[04:04] Kokoro
You all have the show order down, right?
[04:08] Ban
Of course!
[04:09] Ban
First up is POP'N STAR.
[04:12] Ban
Second is Lancelot.
[04:14] Ban
And closing is us, RE:BERSERK!
[04:17] Eva
You made sure to memorize that
for this meeting, didn't you?
[04:21] Eva
Well done, Ban.
[04:23] Mio
Eva-sama, Eva-sama!
[04:25] Mio
I have that much memorized, too!
[04:28] Eva
I know.
[04:29] Eva
Mio and Ban... I am proud to have
both of you as my servants.
[04:33] Mio
Thank you so much, Eva-sama!
[04:36] Mio
Though I cannot accept being
lumped in with the likes of you.
[04:40] Futami
Say, why are we spending time on this?
[04:43] Takamichi
Beats me.
[04:46] Issei
That's enough talk, is it not?
[04:48] Issei
Time is limited, after all.
[04:50] Kokoro
Hold it right there! We need to go
over the tech rehearsal schedule.
[04:54] Futami
See ya!
[04:57] Eva
Always so free-spirited, the lot of them.
[05:00] Kokoro
They're just self-centered.
[05:03] Futami
You're still going to practice
despite all you said. How nice.
[05:07] Issei
Rehearsals and practice are different.
[05:09] Issei
And I couldn't get in any time
yesterday because of that guy.
[05:12] Futami
"That guy"?
[05:19] Noah
Um...
[05:21] Futami
Oh, are you from Class 3?
[05:24] Noah
That's right. We're I♥B.
[05:27] Noah
I'm the leader, Noah.
[05:29] Futami
Are you all exchange students?
[05:30] Noah
Yes. I'm from America.
[05:33] Leon
I'm from England.
[05:34] Rabi
Russia.
[05:36] Chaoyang
China.
[05:37] Lucas
France.
[05:38] Futami
Wow... Everyone's from different places.
[05:42] Futami
We're Lancelot from Class 2.
[05:45] Futami
Nice to meet you.
[05:46] I♥B
It's nice to meet you too.
[05:46] I♥B
A pleasure.
[05:50] Issei
That guy...
[05:53] Takamichi
It looks like this is
the only open practice room.
[05:55] Takamichi
So, sorry, but please take it somewhere else.
[05:59] Lucas
Why?
[06:00] Takamichi
It's customary in Japan to cede to your
upperclassmen in situations like this.
[06:04] Lucas
Customary?
[06:05] Lucas
What does that—
[06:06] Issei
You can use it.
[06:10] Issei
In exchange, let us hear you play.
[06:24] [SONG] song
It will reach you...
[06:26] [SONG] song
Our sound
[06:43] Noah
How was that?
[06:45] Issei
Not one off-key note.
Yeah, everything was perfect.
[06:50] Issei
It was all...
[06:51] Issei
just as the sheet music says.
[06:54] Issei
An utterly boring performance.
[06:58] Noah
Why?
[06:59] Lucas
What is that supposed to mean?
[07:00] Lucas
What's wrong with playing it perfectly?
[07:02] Issei
Why not just have a machine play, then?
[07:08] Issei
You came all the way to Japan, but I don't
know what you're trying to do here.
[07:11] Issei
It's hilarious.
[07:13] Lucas
You!
[07:25] Issei
What a waste of time. Let's go.
[07:28] Futami
What?
[07:29] Futami
What about practice?
[07:36] Leon
Huh? Who do they think they are?
[07:43] Noah
Everyone, let's calm down.
[07:44] Noah
We can't lose sight of ourselves.
[07:46] Rabi
That's right!
[07:48] Rabi
Our performances aren't boring.
[07:51] Rabi
Right, Lucas?
[08:01] Futami
"What have I done?"
[08:02] Futami
"I didn't mean to say all of that."
[08:05] Takamichi
"I was too harsh, wasn't I?"
[08:08] Takamichi
"Seriously, I'm sorry."
[08:10] Issei
Cut it out! Don't go narrating
my inner monologue!
[08:14] Futami
You started owning this
upperclassman thing all of a sudden.
[08:17] Futami
It's just too funny.
[08:18] Issei
Huh?
[08:19] Issei
That's not what I'm doing.
[08:21] Takamichi
But you wouldn't say that stuff
to someone you had no interest in.
[08:26] Issei
I was just angry. That's all.
[08:30] Takamichi
Really?
[08:31] Producer
Oh, there you are!
[08:34] Futami
Hey, perfect timing!
[08:36] Futami
Listen to this!
[08:37] Takamichi
Issei's finally acting like an upperclassman!
[08:39] Issei
Idiot—
[08:40] Futami
His methods could use some work, though.
[08:42] Issei
You...
[08:43] Futami
But you were kinda cool back there.

[08:45] Issei
Shut up!
[08:46] Futami
You made my heart skip a little beat
when you said, "It's hilarious."
[08:50] Issei
I told you to shut up already!
[08:51] Producer
I see.
[08:52] Producer
So Todoroki-kun did all that?
[08:54] Producer
Makes you seem more dependable somehow.
[08:57] Issei
Don't you start in on this, too!
You're getting on my nerves.
[09:01] Takamichi
Where are you going?
[09:02] Issei
What does it matter?
[09:08] Leon
Hey, don't let him get to you like that.
[09:12] Leon
I mean, he's just jealous, right?
[09:15] Noah
I don't think so.
[09:18] Noah
It's been bothering me for a while.
[09:20] Noah
Since we saw Kokoro on stage.
[09:22] Lucas
Yeah.
[09:24] Lucas
Our performance is flawless,
[09:26] Lucas
but something is missing.
[09:30] Lucas
It's just... what could that something be?
[09:34] Rabi
What should we do?
[09:36] Leon
Should we go in the other direction
and try playing all sloppy-like?
[09:39] Chaoyang
I don't think that's the right idea.
[09:41] Noah
And I have no intention of changing the song.
[09:44] Noah
It's filled with our feelings and ideals.
[09:47] Leon
Yeah!
[09:49] Leon
Lucas's songs are seriously the best.
[09:53] Lucas
Merci.
[09:55] Kuma
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
[09:57] Kuma
To the hard-working IChu of Class 3,
[10:01] Kuma
RE:BERSERK is just about to start
a tech rehearsal in the auditorium.
[10:06] Kuma
It's a wonderful opportunity,
so you should all come and see.
[10:32] Seiya
Whoa...
[10:33] Noah
Wow!
[10:38] Eva
Hark, servants trapped
on the karmic wheel of life!
[10:41] Eva
This moment calls for you to join our clan!
[10:44] Mio
Come serve the Bloody Master alongside us!
[10:48] Ban
Bind yourselves with an eternal vow
and become forever one of us!
[10:52] Eva
In doing so, you will no longer
be shackled by the fleetingness of time...
[10:56] Eva
You shall exult in your lives!
[11:00] [SONG] song
As though running from a world
of reason gone insane...
[11:05] [SONG] song
you lose your way,
racing across empty cobblestones

[11:31] Seiya
Man, that was exhilarating!
[11:33] Seiya
I didn't really understand
all the stuff he was saying...
[11:36] Seiya
But what an amazing scene they painted!
[11:38] Seiya
Only Eva and company could
put on a show like that.
[11:42] Rabi
That's true.
[11:44] Noah
If there were a show that only we could put on... What would that be like?
[11:48] Seiya
You all come from different countries,
[11:50] Seiya
so couldn't you appeal that
to the audience somehow?
[11:53] Leon
Nice idea.
[11:54] Leon
How about we go onstage in traditional
clothing from each of our countries?
[11:58] Leon
I bet we'd look great!
[11:59] Lucas
Stop right there.
[12:00] Leon
Huh?
[12:01] Lucas
Our performance is our selling point.
[12:03] Lucas
I'm not giving that up.
[12:05] Kuma
Then perhaps that's the problem.
[12:07] Kuma
Maybe your stagnant CD sales...
[12:09] Kuma
are because your performances are bad.
[12:13] Kuma
Or maybe...
[12:15] Kuma
it's because the song you wrote is bad.
[12:19] Kuma
I wonder what it could be.
[12:29] Lucas
You might be right.
[12:32] Noah
Lucas!
[12:33] Lucas
Don't follow me.
[12:40] Rabi
I'm a little worried.
[12:41] Leon
It's all because of what
Kuma went and said.
[12:45] Chaoyang
I'm going to go look for him.
[12:47] Rabi
I'll go, too.
[12:49] Rabi
Will you two stay here
in case Lucas comes back?
[12:52] Noah
All right. Godspeed.
[12:56] Leon
Well, there's only one thing
we can do in the meantime, right?
[13:09] Lucas
What is it that I want to do?
[13:13] Issei
You're not going in?
[13:17] Lucas
You again?!
[13:19] Issei
That's my line.
[13:21] Issei
There are plenty of other places
you could go practice.
[13:24] Issei
Why go out of your way to come here?
[13:26] Lucas
No special reason.
[13:27] Lucas
I just wanted to practice alone. That's all.
[13:30] Issei
Oh?
[13:31] Lucas
But... I don't need to anymore.
[13:34] Issei
Huh?
[13:42] Issei
Hey.
[13:45] Issei
Lemme see you for a minute.
[13:48] Leon
What? He wasn't on campus?
[13:51] Rabi
No.
[13:52] Rabi
We searched our group room and the
cafeteria, but he wasn't there.
[13:55] Chaoyang
We checked the music rooms, too, but...
[13:58] Leon
Jeez...
[13:59] Leon
Where did he go?
[14:01] Rabi
What's that?
[14:02] Leon
Corn pasta.
[14:04] Leon
Lucas loves corn, so...
[14:07] Leon
We even roasted some and boiled some!
[14:10] Leon
We wanted him to have lots to eat.
[14:14] Leon
The truth is...
[14:16] Leon
we were hoping we could come up
with a good plan for I♥B, but...
[14:25] Noah
Lucas is always serious when
it comes to performing.
[14:28] Noah
I think it has something to do
with the fact that he's writing the music.
[14:33] Noah
There might not be anyone who feels a
greater sense of responsibility for our shows.
[14:44] manager
Welcome.
[14:45] manager
The others are already here.
[14:47] Issei
Hey.
[14:49] Futami
Lucas-kun, was it?
[14:50] Futami
I can't believe Issei brought
along someone younger than him!
[14:54] Takamichi
It'd be just as unbelievable
if he were older.
[14:56] Lucas
What's your angle, bringing me here?
[14:59] Issei
Pipe down. Just behave and watch.
[15:04] customer B
We've been waiting for this!
[15:08] Lucas
Huh?
[15:10] Futami
Feels like it's been a while.
[15:12] Takamichi
When you contacted me out of the blue,
I wondered what was up... but now I get it.
[15:16] Issei
Shut up, already. If you slack,
I'll kill you. Understand?
[15:19] Futami
Just leave it to us.
[16:09] manager
Here.
[16:10] manager
Todoroki-kun asked me
to make sure you see this.
[16:13] manager
It's the sheet music for this show.
[16:16] manager
Surprising, huh?
[16:18] manager
They can put on this performance
with just a single page of music.
[16:23] Lucas
They just play how they feel
and have fun doing it, unbound by sheet music
[16:27] Lucas
This is jazz.
[16:30] manager
It's a delicate, precise balance of
their skills and trust in each other.
[16:33] manager
It's electrifying.
[16:52] Issei
How was it?
[16:57] Lucas
I could never perform like that.
[17:01] Issei
We never give the same
performance twice.
[17:04] Lucas
What?
[17:06] Issei
We change it up based on the feel
of the audience and venue.
[17:08] Issei
We combine our strengths.
[17:10] Issei
That's how you make a show.
[17:12] Futami
It's not easy, but it's super fun.
[17:16] Takamichi
Indeed.
[17:17] Takamichi
It makes the audience happy,
[17:19] Takamichi
and better yet, it's so much fun
that I can't get enough.
[17:22] Futami
Wow. Look at our little Takamichi,
acting all cool all of a sudden!
[17:25] Takamichi
Hey.
[17:26] Takamichi
You're mocking me, aren't you?
[17:27] Futami
No way!
[17:27] Takamichi
And what do you mean, "little Takamichi"?
[17:29] Issei
"All I have to do is play well.
Perform it just the way it's written."
[17:34] Issei
Do you still think that?
[17:40] Lucas
But will I be able to do better?
[17:44] Issei
I'm not the one you should be asking, am I?
[17:58] Leon
There you are!
[18:00] Rabi
Lucas!
[18:02] Lucas
Guys... What's wrong?
[18:05] Leon
I'm sorry!
[18:07] Leon
For always leaving everything to you
and just expecting you to handle things.
[18:12] Lucas
What's that?
[18:13] Leon
Huh?
[18:15] Leon
Oh.
[18:16] Leon
I thought you might be hungry,
so I brought this.
[18:18] Leon
Care to eat?
[18:19] Lucas
Er, no thanks.
[18:21] Leon
Ah, of course not...
[18:23] Leon
Sorry.
[18:24] Chaoyang
Leon and Noah made dinner for everyone.
[18:28] Chaoyang
But you were late coming back,
so we came to get you.
[18:34] Noah
Well, shall we head home?
[18:36] Noah
We can all put our heads together
and think about what to do next.
[18:39] Rabi
Yeah.
[18:40] Rabi
Now that I'm not worried, I'm feeling hungry.
[18:45] Lucas
I think I'll eat after all.
[18:55] Lucas
It's good.
[18:57] Leon
I'm glad.
[18:59] Lucas
I...
[19:00] Lucas
I think I've figured it out.
[19:03] Lucas
There's something I want
to discuss with you all.
[19:17] Noah
We'd like you to listen
to us perform one more time.
[19:20] Lucas
We won't let you call us boring anymore!
[19:23] Issei
Get to it, already.
[19:35] Noah
All right, let's go!

Has someone taken a liking to I♥B?
[23:13] Issei
Huh?
[23:14] Issei
You can't be serious.
[23:16] Issei
I get all irritated when I see them.
[23:18] Takamichi
Is it a "there's something
special about them,
[23:20] Takamichi
so I just can't leave them alone" thing?
[23:22] Takamichi
I knew you were a model upperclassman.
[23:25] Futami
Is that what it is?
[23:27] Futami
Issei, you're such a nice guy!

It's had a tremendous
impact on their CD sales.
[03:55] Producer
ArS, the artist collective,
[03:57] Producer
has highlighted and made use of their
individual talents to increase their sales.
[04:02] Producer
In terms of popularity, Fire Fenyx
is flagging far behind the other groups.
[04:07] Producer
They've mainly been doing street performances
[04:09] Producer
and aggressively focusing
on in-person sales, but...
[04:12] Producer
In terms of actual sales, things are grim.
[04:15] Kuma
I suppose it all depends on how
well they manage to sell today.
[04:18] Kuma
Things are looking a bit rocky
for Fire Fenyx, though.

Do you all know about Sound Carnival*?
[19:49] Noah
Sound Carnival?
[19:52] Shiki
It's a special music program
that airs every summer.
[19:57] Hikaru
The year's most dazzling singers and idols
[19:59] Hikaru
perform in a music spectacular
for all the nation to see!
[20:03] Raku
It's like the summer version of
New Year's Red and White Song Battle.
[20:06] Kuma
Indeed!
[20:07] Kuma
The program has a segment for new idols...
[20:11] Kuma
and it's been decided that you IChu*
will have the opportunity to appear.
[20:16] Seiya
That rocks!
[20:18] Noah
Is it really that amazing?
[20:19] Kyosuke
For new idols, this is like
the gateway to success!
[20:22] Shiki
It's said that artists who appear on the show
are virtually guaranteed a big break.
[20:27] Satsuki
That alone is amazing, but...
[20:29] Mutsuki
If you generate buzz with
a good performance...
[20:31] twins
you have an instant national following!
[20:34] Akio
A n-national following?
[20:36] Chaoyang
Just like that?
[20:37] Raku
I'm sure my grandfather would be pleased
to see me on Sound Carnival.
[20:41] Kuma
However!
[20:45] Kuma
The performance on the show...
[20:49] Kuma
will be limited to just one group.
[20:51] everyone
What?
[20:52] Kuma
To everyone in Class 3,
[20:54] Kuma
as well as everyone in Class 2...
[20:56] Kuma
I'll be choosing from all of you IChu.
[21:00] Runa
Kokoro, did you know about this?
[21:06] Kokoro
You could say that.
[21:07] Kokoro
Those of us in Class 2 have
been through this before.
[21:13] Kokoro
The pain and frustration of losing...
[21:16] Kokoro
Humiliation so great
it still haunts my dreams...
[21:20] Kokoro
So this year, I'll win my way through.
[21:23] Kokoro
I want to perform on Sound Carnival...
[21:27] Kokoro
with the new POP'N STAR!
[21:33] Seiya
Just one group?
[21:35] Producer
Not everyone who wants to be an idol
[21:37] Producer
actually succeeds in making it as one.
[21:42] Producer
Show business is a cruel world.
[21:47] Producer
Only a handful survive.
[21:53] Seiya
We're all friends who've
worked hard together.
[21:57] Seiya
But now...
[22:00] Seiya
all of the IChu are rivals.

[06:18] Runa
Everyone playing beach
volleyball disappeared too.
[06:22] Takamichi
Aren't they just in the bathroom?
[06:23] Kanata
Or maybe they swam really far out...

There wasn't anyone out in the water.
[06:29] Issei

He was with Ban and Takamichi
just a little while ago.

We only looked away for a second,
and then he was gone!
[07:46] Mutsuki
Oh!
[07:49] Mutsuki
Futami's gone, too.
[07:51] Mutsuki

There's no service here.
[09:17] Takamichi
Dang it all! We can't even
contact the police.
[09:21] Runa
So it's just the seven of us left...?
[09:27] Chaoyang

[09:29] Chaoyang
We found these while we were looking

[09:32] Mutsuki
Those are...
[09:34] Mutsuki
These are Satsuki's glasses!

Hey, Kuma!

What are you planning to do with us?
[11:13] Kuma
To tell the truth, there's something
I'd like your help with.
[11:18] Noah
Our help?
[11:20] Kuma
Soon, the remaining seven will arrive here.
[11:24] Kuma
I want you all to play
a practical joke on them.
[11:30] Seiya
A practical joke?
[11:31] Kuma
We're here filming their reactions.
[11:36] Kuma
Let's make a stream-worthy
prank video together!
[11:40] Kokoro
I figured it'd be something like that.
[11:42] Issei
This is stupid.
[11:44] Satsuki
Why not?
[11:45] Issei; Kokoro
Huh?
[11:45] Satsuki
Sounds like fun! You can count on me!
[11:48] Kuma
Now there's my prank-loving Satsuki-kun!
[11:51] Kuma
You seem raring to go.
[11:53] Satsuki
I live for pranks!
[11:55] Kuma
Oho...
[11:56] Kuma
Then you'll be the leader of the prank team.
[12:00] Satsuki
Roger!
[12:01] Noah
But scaring our friends makes
me a little uncomfortable...
[12:05] Seiya
I know, right?
[12:07] Kuma
Practical jokes...
[12:08] Kuma
are an essential event on the
path to becoming a popular idol!
[12:14] Seiya
Really?
[12:16] Kuma
You get to see the true face of an idol.
Something you'd never see on stage.
[12:21] Kuma
When they see their idols surprised,
fans feel a sense of kinship...
[12:26] Kuma
They think things like, "How cute!"
And, "We never see him like this!"
[12:30] Seiya
Oh! I get it!
[12:32] Issei
Really?
[12:33] Shiki
It's true that it might inspire
some feelings of kinship...
[12:36] Kokoro
I do kind of want to see
Runa's startled face.
[12:39] Leon
Let's give 'em a good scare!
[12:42] Satsuki
Then let's prank them with
everything we've got! Let's go!
[12:52] Ban
It's kinda creepy.
[12:54] Takamichi
Nothing "kinda" about it...
[12:57] Takamichi
It's super creepy!
[13:01] Kanata
Mukkun, you heard Sacchan's
voice coming from here?
[13:04] Mutsuki
I think so.
[13:05] Takamichi
How can you tell?
[13:07] Mutsuki
We were born together,
one life split into two.
[13:12] Mutsuki
That's why...
[13:14] Kanata
As twins, maybe you have a mysterious
ability to sense each other.
[13:19] Runa
If we find Satsuki-san,
we may find the others as well.
[13:25] Mutsuki
Let's go.
[13:31] Mutsuki
Excuse us...
[13:48] Takamichi
H-Hey! Don't push me!
[13:50] Ban
You're the one pushing!
[13:56] Kanata
This painting looks old.
[14:01] Runa
I wonder if these are the people
who lived in this mansion.
[14:04] Kyosuke
This painting is really well done.
[14:07] Kyosuke
They almost look like
they might come to life...
[14:09] Satsuki
Now!
[14:10] Kokoro
Okay.
[14:14] Ban
What?
[14:16] Takamichi
It moved!
[14:17] Takamichi
The eyes moved just now!
[14:18] Chaoyang
Th-Th-That's not possible...

[14:36] Kokoro
Success!
[14:41] Kokoro
Does he know we're here?
[14:42] Satsuki
Can't be.
[14:43] Satsuki
He shouldn't be able to see us.
[14:48] Runa
Wait for me!
[15:01] Mutsuki
Wh-What was that?
[15:03] Runa
Maybe it was rapping noises.
[15:05] Chaoyang
What?
[15:06] Runa
That's what they call the sounds
that you hear when ghosts appears.
[15:10] Takamichi
Gh-Ghosts?
[15:28] Chaoyang
Maybe the spirits are angry
because we're trespassing!
[15:32] Takamichi
Let's turn back! Let's turn back right now!
[15:35] Mutsuki
I'm going to keep going.
[15:37] Takamichi
Why?!
[15:38] Kanata
Mukkun, aren't you scared?
[15:43] Mutsuki
I am scared.
[15:45] Mutsuki
I'm scared, but...
[15:46] Mutsuki
I have to find Satsuki.
[15:49] Mutuski
I can't turn back.
[15:51] Mutsuki
Not until I find Satsuki. No matter what!
[15:55] Kanata
Mukkun...
[16:03] Leon
Satsuki?
[16:04] Leon
What's wrong?
[16:05] Satsuki
Nothing!
[16:06] Satsuki
On to the next prank!
[16:10] Mutsuki
The door to this room is ajar...
[16:12] Takamichi
You're going in?
[16:14] Mutsuki
Yeah.
SIGN HELP ME

[16:34] Runa
Someone's calling. I wonder who it could be.
[16:37] Takamichi
Answer it, Ban!
[16:38] Ban
No way! Let's play
rock, paper, scissors for it!
[16:40] Mutsuki
I'll answer it.
[16:45] Mutsuki
H-Hello?
[16:51] Momo
Help me...
[16:55] Mutsuki
Where is Satsuki?
[16:57] Momo
Help me...
[16:59] Mutsuki
Give Satsuki back!
[17:04] Kuma
"These pranks..."
[17:05] Kuma
"Maybe we should stop."
Is that what you're thinking?
[17:10] Kuma
You live for pranks, don't you?
[17:13] Kuma
So you need to go all out, right?
[17:16] Satsuki
Y-You don't have to tell me that!
[17:39] Issei
They're not coming...
[17:43] Takamichi
That's it! Let's go back!
Let's go back right now!
[17:46] Takamichi
Let's hurry up and get out of here!
[17:48] Kyosuke
Mutsuki-kun, are you all right?
[17:56] Chaoyang
What is that?!
[17:59] Runa
Looks like a walking suit of armor.
[18:01] Ban
Run for it!
[18:11] Kanata
Mukkun!
[18:14] Satsuki
Mutsuki!
[18:16] Kanata
Let's go!
[18:30] Kyosuke
We're trapped! We're totally trapped!
[18:32] Kyosuke
It's all over...
[18:34] Kyosuke
The manga series I worked so hard for
[18:36] Kyosuke
will remain forever unfinished
due to the author's death!
[18:38] Chaoyang
I wish I could've gorged myself
on meat buns before I died!
[18:42] Ban
Fried chicken for me!
[18:56] Ban
Takamichi's snapped!
[19:06] Kuma
With a push of the button...
[19:15] Takamichi
Ow...
[19:16] Kanata
Mukkun!
[19:44] Mutsuki
Satsuki!
[19:51] Mutsuki
It's you, isn't it?
[19:58] Mutsuki
Don't cry, Satsuki.
[20:01] Mutsuki
When you cry, Satsuki,
[20:03] Mutuski
it makes me want to cry, too.
[20:06] Mutsuki
After all, we're twins, right?
[20:34] Mutsuki
Satsuki...
[20:36] Mutsuki
I'm so glad you're safe.
[20:54] Kuma
Très bien!
[20:57] Kuma
We were able to see so many sides of you
that we don't normally get to see.
[21:01] Kuma
It was wonderful!

We got some great footage!

And the MVP award goes to Twinkle Bell!
[21:16] Kuma
The touching bond between twins
is sure to draw in even more fans!
[21:22] Kuma
Just what we expected
from the greatest of twins!
[21:25] Takamichi
This was a prank?!
[21:27] Takamichi
Don't screw with me!
I was scared out of my mind!
[21:29] Takamichi
Truly, genuinely terrified! You hear me?!
[21:32] Ban
Calm down, Takamichi...
[21:34] Kanata
Oh, you're all so mean!
[21:36] Chaoyang
I think that took a few years off my life...
[21:38] Seiya
Sorry, sorry.
[21:40] Seiya
But even if you were just
putting on brave faces,
[21:41] Seiya
you hung in there for your friends, right?
[21:43] Seiya
I was really moved by everyone's friendship!
[21:46] Kokoro
Honestly, Runa, you weren't scared at all.
[21:49] Kokoro
That's no fun.

What an enjoyable summer vacation!

[02:07] Kuma
Welcome home, Tenjo Tenge.
[02:10] Kuma
How did it feel to travel the world?
[02:14] Tatsumi
It was exciting!
Really got my heart racing!
[02:16] Tsubaki
We experienced just one part of a
wide world. It's still not enough.
[02:21] Aoi
The jet lag was awful.
[02:23] Aoi
It was hard to take care
of ourselves, wasn't it, Toya?
[02:26] Toya
It was. I'd like to recuperate
from the fatigue of traveling.
[02:29] Kuma
Yes, take some time to rest...
[02:32] Kuma
is what I'd like to say,
but I have a request to ask of you.
[02:39] Kuma
Just a little something fun.
[02:45] Kuma
Attention, all IChu!
[02:47] Kuma
To select our participant for Sound Carnival*,
[02:50] Kuma
I'm going to have each*
group sing one song apiece.
[02:54] Kuma
Then your singing skill, your musical
ability, your performance...
[03:00] Kuma
I will take everything into consideration
[03:02] Kuma
and decide which group alone
gets to go on the show.
[03:07] Kuma
Give it all you've got and your
best shot, everyone. All right?
[03:11] Akira
So the final call is entirely
in Principal Kuma's hands.
[03:17] Kanata
We've only got three days.
[03:19] Kanata
I'm so nervous...
[03:21] Noah
We'll be judged on a single song.
[03:24] Noah
That means our groups need
to go full throttle out of the gate.
[03:27] Noah
That's how you win the
audience over with just one song.
[03:30] Lucas
Like last year's Sound Carnival.
[03:33] Leon
Which group was it that made it
to Sound Carnival last year?
[03:37] Noah
The winner was...
[03:39] Seiya
Hey! Guys!
[03:41] Seiya

This is awesome! Tenjo Tenge is in Japan!
[04:06] Seiya
Oh yeah, I gotta go ask for an autograph!
[04:08] Seiya
I better go buy some autograph sheets!
[04:10] Seiya
Wait, maybe a CD would be better...
[04:12] Seiya
Oh, or maybe I could ask them
to sign a T-shirt really big!
[04:13] Kanata
Seiya, bring it down a notch.
[04:16] Akira
He's that crazy about them?

[04:22] Noah
Tenjo Tenge is back.
[04:25] Hikaru
Our senior IChu have returned?
[04:28] Raku
But I was certain that Tenjo Tenge was abroad...

[04:43] Seiya

they've performed the world over!
[04:48] Seiya
And I heard they were a huge hit
everywhere they went!
[04:50] Seiya
I mean, of course they were.
[04:52] Seiya
There's no way the world
wouldn't love Tsubaki-san's singing!

He seems rather passionate...

[05:00] Noah
He does have captivating vocals.

[05:05] Seiya
Yeah!
[05:06] Seiya
I look up to Tsubaki-san more than anyone!

Tsubaki-san, your concert was
the best! It was super sparkly!
[05:52] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Sparkly?
[05:53] (Flashback) Seiya
I could see color when you sang.
[05:56] (Flashback) Seiya
It was all brilliant and sparkly,
like it could outshine any other color!
[05:59] (Flashback) Seiya
Powerful and reassuring!
[06:01] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Color?
[06:02] (Flashback) Tsubaki
You're an interesting guy.
[06:04] (Flashback) Seiya
My name's Aido Seiya!
[06:07] (Flashback) Seiya
I wanna be just like you, Tsubaki-san!
[06:11] (Flashback) Tsubaki
That's even more interesting.
[06:13] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Want to try chasing after me, Seiya?
[06:16] (Flashback) Seiya
Yeah! I'll show you that I can catch up!
[06:21] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Even your dog gives a good answer.
[06:23] (Flashback) Tsubaki
I'm looking forward to it.
[06:28] Seiya
In that moment, Tsubaki-san...
[06:30] Seiya
was just the freakin' coolest!
[06:36] Seiya
I came to this school to become
a samurai idol just like Tsubaki-san!
[06:42] Kanata
I had no idea.
[06:44] Akira
What a wonderful story.
[06:46] Seiya
That's right... Tsubaki-san's
in Japan right now, isn't he?
[06:50] Seiya
I hope I get to see him again.
[06:53] Kokoro
What idiocy is the idiot saying now?
[06:56] Seiya
Kokoro.
[06:57] Kokoro
Who would have thought you were Tsubaki's fan.
[07:00] Kokoro
You're both IChu. Of course you'll have
opportunities to see each other.
[07:04] Seiya
Oh, hey, you're right.
[07:07] Seiya
I wonder if I'll run into him somewhere.
[07:09] Leon
Seiya sure is on cloud nine.
[07:12] Noah

as we possibly could, of course.
[08:09] Runa

[08:12] Kokoro
W-Well, I suppose.
[08:14] Kokoro
With all of the help I gave you,

couldn't sell a mere three thousand CDs.

have returned from overseas.
[10:27] Kuma
So, regarding the Sound Carnival
selection in three days...
[10:32] Kuma
I'm having Tenjo Tenge participate
as well. Be sure to welcome them!
[10:38] Akira
This can't be...
[10:40] Tsubaki
Hey, my little juniors.
Take it easy on us, okay?
[10:44] Tsubaki
Although, we're going to be chosen group
no matter what you do.
[10:50] Kokoro
Is that what's going on?
[10:51] Eva
Gaia has descended.
[11:05] Kanata
That was quite a shock.
[11:08] Akira
Yeah.
[11:10] Akira
Who could've imagined that we'd be
competing against Tenjo Tenge as well?
[11:14] Kanata
They're a formidable opponent.
[11:16] Kanata
And you, Seiya...
You must be conflicted, huh?
[11:19] Seiya
That's it!
[11:21] Kanata
What?
[11:22] Seiya
I'm going to go see Tsubaki-san
[11:24] Seiya
and tell him we should all
do our best for the selection!
[11:27] Kanata
W-Wait!
[11:30] Seiya
There's something I've been wanting to say
to Tsubaki-san for a really long time...

[11:48] Seiya
Oh. Thanks for telling me!

Everyone was pretty shocked.
[12:00] Toya
I don't really care for such flashy surprises.
[12:03] Aoi
Well, let's hurry back and get some sleep.
[12:06] Aoi

[12:16] Aoi
He was one of the IChu from earlier.
[12:18] Tatsumi
He was, huh?
[12:20] Aoi
Well, with your forgetful brain, Tatsumi,
I suppose you wouldn't remember.
[12:24] Tatsumi
What was that?
[12:25] Toya
Now, now... Both of you, just leave it be.
[12:33] Toya
It seems he'd like to speak with Tsubaki-san.
[12:37] Toya
Why don't the rest of us go on ahead?
[12:51] Tsubaki
Did you want something from me?
[12:53] Seiya
Tsubaki-san, do you remember me?
[12:56] Seiya
We talked after a performance
you gave at a park!
[13:01] Tsubaki
Oh.
[13:03] Seiya
Tsubaki-san, you asked me back then
if I wanted to try chasing after you...
[13:08] Seiya
So I did! I became an IChu like you!
[13:12] Seiya
I'm in Class 3 now!
In a group called Fire Fenyx!
[13:16] Seiya
We're gonna give our selection
performance everything we've got!
[13:19] Seiya
I wanna become a rockin' samurai
idol, just like you, Tsubaki-san!
[13:36] Tsubaki
And...
[13:38] Tsubaki
What's the point of becoming me?
[13:40] Seiya
Huh?
[13:41] Tsubaki
"In all the heavens and all the earth,
I alone am the exalted one."
[13:44] Tsubaki
There is only one Rindo Tsubaki. Me.
[13:48] Tsubaki
No one else can become Rindo Tsubaki.
[13:53] Tsubaki
Saying you want to be a copy of me...
[13:57] Tsubaki
How long are you going to behave like a fan?
[14:00] Seiya
Huh?
[14:01] Tsubaki
If your goals and resolve are that low,
[14:04] Tsubaki
then you should go ahead
and quit being an idol.
[14:10] Tsubaki
You're not cut out for it.

[14:41] Issei
That Tsubaki...
[14:43] Futami
Showing up now of all times...
[14:46] Takamichi
Sounds like something
the principal would plan.
[14:48] Runa
Kokoro, what kind of group is Tenjo Tenge?
[14:53] Kokoro
Last year, they were the ones chosen
[14:55] Kokoro
out of all the IChu to
appear on Sound Carnival.
[14:59] Kokoro
Their selection performance was impressive.
[15:03] Kokoro
POP'N STAR...
[15:05] Kokoro
Lancelot...
[15:07] Kokoro
RE:BERSERK...
[15:09] Kokoro
We all did everything we could to give
our best performances in our own ways.
[15:14] Kokoro
It wouldn't have been a surprise
for any one of us to win.
[15:17] Kokoro
That's how evenly matched we were.
[15:20] Kokoro
But...
[15:21] Kokoro
when Tenjo Tenge came out afterward...
[15:25] Kokoro
they soared high above the rest of us,
[15:29] Kokoro
though it pains me to admit it.
[15:31] Eva
It was impossible to refrain
from unstinting eulogy.
[15:35] Eva
That day, the members of Gaia delivered an
amalgamation of beauty and sweet sensuality.
[15:41] Mio
Eva-sama...
[15:43] Runa
I see...
[15:45] Kokoro
Remembering what happened,
I get so frustrated.
[15:48] Issei
Tch...
[15:50] Momo
Don't worry, Kokoro-chan!
[15:53] Momo
It won't be like last year!
[15:55] Momo
After all, you're not alone this time!
[15:58] Kokoro
Momo...
[15:59] Runa
That's right.
[16:01] Runa
We're here now.
[16:03] Runa
We three can combine our strengths
[16:05] Runa
and put on a performance even
more splendid than Tenjo Tenge's!
[16:09] Kokoro
Runa...
[16:11] Kokoro
You're right.
[16:12] Kokoro
We'll move forward and win together.
[16:15] Kokoro
The phrase "staying down"
isn't in Kokoro's dictionary!
[16:21] Mio
I'm not letting some coquettes steal
the chance to appear on the show.
[16:24] Mio
That appearance belongs to Eva-sama!
[16:27] Eva
Nay, servant Death Kronos.
[16:30] Mio
What?
[16:32] Eva
'Twill not be I alone.
[16:34] Eva
Victory belongs to RE:BERSERK.
That is, myself and the two of you.
[16:41] Mio
Right!
[16:42] Eva
The night of judgment falls
perfectly on a full moon.
[16:45] Eva
Its beams, coming from afar,
[16:47] Eva
shall bestow limitless
power upon RE:BERSERK.
[16:52] Ban
Oh! The power of the full moon, right?
[16:56] Takamichi
We have to change things up, too.
[17:00] Futami
Getting fired up isn't really my thing...
[17:04] Futami
But, given the situation, I guess
I really should show my stuff.
[17:07] Issei
Obviously.
[17:08] Issei
We'll show that Tsubaki.
[17:11] Issei
We'll show him that we're number one.
[17:31] Kanata
Seiya!
[17:36] Kanata
Big news, Seiya!
[17:39] Akira
We've got a job booked.
[17:41] Seiya
Huh?
[17:42] Seiya
A job?
[17:43] Akira
We just received word from the producer.
[17:47] Akira
There's a festival in the
shopping district tomorrow,
[17:49] Akira
and there's a gap in the stage programming.
[17:51] Kanata
Someone who happened to see
our mall performance recommended us.
[17:56] Kanata
This makes it our first independent
booking as Fire Fenyx!
[18:00] Seiya
R-Right...
[18:02] Seiya
That's great!
[18:03] Kanata
Come on! We have to get ready for tomorrow!
[18:05] Akira
Let's head back to our rooms.
[18:38] Kanata
How was that?
[18:39] Kanata
I was thinking of throwing in our
Fire Fenyx pose at the end of the song.
[18:42] Akira
It's good. It'll give a sense of unity.
[18:45] Kanata
I'm so glad!
[18:46] Kanata
Seiya, what do you think?
[18:48] Seiya
Yeah! I like it too.
[18:50] Kanata
Then let's try it right away!
[18:52] staff
Fire Fenyx!
[18:54] staff
Stand by, please.
[18:56] FF
Right!
[18:58] staff
There's a big crowd out there.
[19:01] Kanata
Did you hear that?
[19:02] Akira
Yeah.
[19:09] Seiya
All right.
[19:12] Seiya
Awakening what's inside us...
[19:15] FF

[19:21] Seiya
Now, if you'll give it a listen...
[19:23] Seiya
Here's our song, "Jewelry Dust"!
[19:27] [SONG] FF
Say, what d'you think it is I'm lacking?
[19:31] [SONG] FF
Every day I fight a difficult battle
[19:34] [SONG] FF
But, "Oh, I wish I could quit this,"
[19:38] [SONG] FF
is something I've never once thought.
[19:40] [SONG] FF
The dream I found when I was little
[19:44] [SONG] FF
like a meteor shower racing through the sky
[19:47] [SONG] FF
Oh, I know I'll never regret it
[19:51] [SONG] FF
It's just as I thought
[19:54] [SONG] FF
One day, when I look up at that stage
[19:57] [SONG] FF
though it feels so very far away
[20:00] [SONG] FF
You can hear that signal to start, right?
[20:06] Tsubaki
What's the point of becoming me?
[20:14] Seiya
Huh?
[20:16] [SONG] FF
It's just for us

How long are you going to behave like a fan?
[20:37] Tsubaki
Go ahead and quit being an idol.

Huh?
[20:59] Kanata
Seiya?
[21:09] Akira
Seiya, let's nail the ending.
[21:15] Seiya
R-Right!
[21:27] girl A

Heck yeah! We're gonna draw first!
[02:21] Kokoro
Though there's no guarantee
that first is best here.
[02:23] Eva
I shall draw last.
[02:25] Eva
They say luck lingers
in what others leave behind.
[02:28] Issei
Hey, Toya. Is Tsubaki not coming?
[02:31] Toya
He isn't. He said he would entrust the draw to me.
[02:35] Toya
According to Tsubaki,
[02:36] Toya
"No matter what number we pull, it won't
change the fact Tenjo Tenge will win."
[02:42] Issei
Tch, acting like he's got nothing
to worry about...
[02:45] Kuma
Now, if a representative from each
group would please come draw a number!
[02:50] Producer
Principal, please wait a moment.
[02:52] Producer
Fire Fenyx still isn't here.
[02:56] Kanata
We're so sorry!
[02:58] Kanata
Seiya hasn't come yet.
[03:00] Akira
We can't reach him by phone, either.
[03:02] Akira
Producer, have you heard anything?
[03:05] Producer
No. He hasn't contacted me
about anything in particular...
[03:08] Producer
Oh.
[03:09] Producer
I do have a message from him.
[03:12] Producer
He says he's taking today off...
[03:13] Kanata
What?
[03:14] Akira
Why?
[03:15] Producer
He didn't give a reason.
He just said he needs some time off.
[03:19] Noah
For Seiya to take time off...
[03:21] Noah
Is he quite ill?
[03:23] Satsuki
He sure didn't seem like it.
[03:27] Kanata
Sacchan, have you seen Seiya?
[03:29] Satsuki
Yeah. Just now, at the school gate.
[03:32] Kokoro
So he came all the way here
and then went home?
[03:34] Satsuki
That's right.
[03:35] Satsuki
He seemed sorta out of it.
[03:41] Kuma
The leader doesn't have
to be the one who draws.
[03:44] Kuma
Any member would be okay.
[03:47] Producer
Kanata-kun, Akira-kun,
will one of you do the drawing?
[03:51] Akira
Oh, sure.
[03:53] Kanata
Seiya...
[04:00] Tsubaki
There is only one Rindo Tsubaki. Me.
[04:03] Tsubaki
No one else can become Rindo Tsubaki.
[04:07] Seiya
Then... what kind of idol should I be?
[04:12] Seiya
What... do I do?
[04:16] Seiya
I don't have any idea...
[04:28] Kanata
I think his phone is off.
[04:30] Akira
Seiya seemed to be acting a bit strange
after our performance last night.
[04:35] Akira
Something may have happened.
[04:37] Satsuki
Now that you mention it, this might be
the first time I've ever seen Seiya down.
[04:41] Mutsuki
Right? I wonder where he's gone.
[04:44] Torahiko
Maybe he went on a journey to find himself.
[04:46] Akio
Do you think he's started
to think about quitting as an IChu?
[04:50] Rabi
We'd need to ask him to find out.
[04:52] Noah
Let's split up and look for Seiya.
[04:54] Issei
You're worried about someone else?
[04:57] Issei
There are only two days left until
the Sound Carnival selection.
[05:01] Issei
We don't have the time.
[05:03] Issei
This is when we should pull out
all the stops to practice.
[05:06] Eva
It's just as Berserker says.
[05:08] Kokoro
Performing with any less than
your full concentration...
[05:12] Kokoro
That won't cut it for Sound Carnival.
[05:17] Akira
Thank you, everyone.
[05:19] Akira
I appreciate your concern.
[05:22] Akira
Kanata and I will look for Seiya.
[05:24] Akira
You should all get back to practice.
[05:29] Producer
Do you think Seiya-kun is all right?
[05:33] Kuma
Not such lovely day out today, is it?
[05:36] Producer
I'm sorry?
[05:38] Kuma
Just like the weather, idols aren't
always bright and sunny themselves.
[05:47] Kuma
Whether or not Seiya-kun's
brilliant smile returns...
[05:51] Kuma
depends on which way the wind blows.
[05:56] Seiya
I can't run away.
[05:58] Seiya
It's almost time for Sound Carnival*, y'know?
[06:01] Seiya
At this rate, I'll just cause*
trouble for Kanata and Akira.
[06:06] Seiya
But...
[06:07] Tsubaki
You're not cut out for it.
[06:22] Akira
Let's try going to Seiya's place next.
[06:25] Kanata
Yes, let's.
[06:32] Seiya
Why am I running from my friends?
[06:35] Seiya
I... I'm the worst...
[06:42] Akio
I can't... I just can't anymore...
[06:49] Akio
Seiya?
[06:51] Akio
What do I do? What should I do?
[06:53] Akio
Oh, I know!
[06:55] Akio
I'll call the producer.
[07:05] Akio
This way. Follow me.
[07:07] Seiya
Huh?
[07:11] Akio
When you want to be alone,
places like this are the best.
[07:15] Akio
No one can see you,
[07:17] Akio
and they're sort of dark, so they're calming.
[07:19] Seiya
Oh, um... Thanks.
[07:24] Seiya
Does this happen to you a lot, Akio?
Wanting to be alone?
[07:28] Akio
All the time.
[07:29] Akio
Like today...
[07:31] Akio
Tora started saying he wants me
to take the center,
[07:34] Akio
and I really, really don't want to, so...
[07:38] Torahiko
Akio acquired!
[07:39] Akio
T-Tora!
[07:41] Akio
How did you know I was here?
[07:43] Torahiko
Instinct.
[07:50] Torahiko
Let's go, Akio.
[07:52] Akio
Huh? You're just ignoring him?
[07:53] Akio
Tora, why aren't you
saying anything to Seiya?
[07:56] Torahiko
Got nothing to say.
[07:58] Torahiko
Seiya's free to decide what he wants to do.
[08:03] Akio
Let me be free, too!
[08:05] Seiya
I want to be like Tsubaki-san!
[08:12] Seiya
The way he stands on stage,
alone and unafraid... It's just so cool.
[08:17] Seiya
I can't forget his color...
I look up to him.
[08:22] Seiya
Is that so wrong?
[08:25] Torahiko
What about your color? What color is that?
[08:28] Seiya
My color...
[08:31] Torahiko
No matter how beautiful the color,
if it's the only one there is, that's boring.
[08:36] Torahiko
Colors are only fun
when there's all kinds, yeah?
[08:39] Akio
I'm not having fun at all!
[08:46] Seiya
The color of Tsubaki-san's singing
was so shiny and sparkly...
[08:54] Seiya
What about mine?
[08:59] Seiya
My color...
[09:03] Seiya
Noah?
[09:06] Noah
This reminds me of the
rye field back in the day.
[09:10] Noah
We saw it together a long time ago
in America, remember?
[09:13] Noah
Bathed in sunlight, it glittered gold.
[09:18] Seiya
Yeah.
[09:19] Seiya
It was so sparkly that it was blinding.
[09:23] Noah
Back then, I saw something even
more blindingly brilliant.
[09:28] Noah
Brighter than the rye field,
[09:30] Noah
brighter than the light of the sun...
[09:33] Noah
When you sang,
[09:35] Noah
you shone and sparkled.
[09:41] Noah
In all the world...
[09:43] Noah
there was nothing brighter.
[09:45] Seiya
You're wrong.
[09:48] Seiya
I don't shine.
[09:50] Seiya
I'm not anyone special like that.
[09:54] Seiya
Tsubaki-san told me...
[09:57] Seiya
I...
[09:59] Seiya
He said I'm not cut out to be an idol.
[10:03] Noah
I'm so angry.
[10:05] Noah
To think something so trivial
[10:07] Noah
could cause my hero to fade....
[10:10] Seiya
Hero?
[10:13] Noah
Seiya,
[10:15] Noah
you don't understand at all.
[10:18] Noah
You have no idea
[10:20] Noah
how much you encouraged me.
[10:27] Noah
You have no idea
[10:29] Noah
how much I admired you.
[10:35] Noah
To me, you are a dear friend,
an inspiration, and a rival.
[10:41] Noah
I wanted us to compete together
and better ourselves
[10:44] Noah
on the same stage.
[10:47] Seiya
Noah...
[10:50] Noah
I'll be waiting for you, Seiya.
[10:52] Noah
Just like back then.
[10:54] Noah
I'll await your return to brilliance.
[11:01] Seiya
I... used to be like that?

Been a while, hasn't it, Issei?
Since we've sparred.
SIGN Great Deity of Katori
[11:25] Tsubaki
Are you forgoing your protective gear?
[11:27] Issei
Who needs it?
[11:30] Issei
Tsubaki, today is the day...
[11:33] Issei
I will destroy you.
[11:48] Issei
Hey...
[11:49] Issei
What did you say to the kid?
[11:51] Tsubaki
"The kid"?
[11:52] Issei
Aido Seiya.
[11:54] Issei
He was so happy to get to see you.
[11:56] Tsubaki
Oh, right...
[11:59] Issei
What did you say to him?
[12:01] Tsubaki
Just what I thought.
[12:04] Tsubaki
That he should go ahead
and quit being an idol.
[12:07] Issei
You jerk...
[12:10] Tsubaki
Well, this is unexpected.
[12:11] Tsubaki
I never imagined you'd care
so much about your juniors.
[12:14] Issei
Don't try to weasel out of this!
[12:22] Tsubaki
You haven't lost your edge, Issei. I'm glad.
[12:25] Issei
Don't give me that! Quit acting
like you've got strength to spare!
[12:28] Issei
I'm not going to give you any quarter.
[12:32] Tsubaki
I wouldn't have it any other way.
[12:34] Tsubaki
I don't know what kind of guy
this Aido Seiya is,
[12:37] Tsubaki
but someone who runs
because of just a few harsh words
[12:41] Tsubaki
will disappear eventually anyway.
[12:43] Tsubaki
Don't you agree?
[12:45] Tsubaki
If he's a real IChu,
[12:47] Tsubaki
then no matter what anyone
says to him, he'll be back.
[12:50] Tsubaki
Without fail.
[12:56] Seiya
This is where I first saw
Tsubaki-san perform on stage.
[13:03] Seiya
There's really nothing extraordinary about it,
[13:06] Seiya
but back then, it was like
the whole world was shining.
[13:10] Seiya
I wanted to be like that, but...
[13:13] Seiya
maybe it's not possible for me.
[13:21] Kokoro
POP'N STAR!

Fight-ho! Fight-ho! Fight-ho!
[13:23] Momo
Fight...
[13:25] ---
Fight...
[13:26] Kokoro
Momo! I can't hear you!
[13:27] Momo
Kokoro-chan, I... give up already...
[13:31] Kokoro
Refer to yourself as "Momo."
[13:33] Kokoro
We're adding an extra lap!
[13:34] Momo
What?
[13:43] Runa
Wait, isn't that Seiya-san?
[13:46] Momo
Huh?
[13:48] Momo
Oh, you're right!
[13:50] Kokoro
Let's go.
[13:51] Momo
What? You're not going to talk to him?
[13:53] Runa
Isn't everyone worried
about Seiya-san?
[13:58] Kokoro
We don't have the time to be
worried about other groups.
[14:00] Kokoro
Sound Carnival is just ahead of us.
This is important.
[14:03] Kokoro
No matter what he decides to do,
it's up to each of us to be responsible.
[14:14] Momo
Huh?
[14:15] Momo
What's wrong?
[14:17] Kokoro
Melon buns.
[14:19] others
Melon buns?
[14:21] Kokoro
There's a shop with yummy melon buns nearby.
[14:24] Kokoro
I'm going to go buy some.
Will you go on ahead without me?
[14:29] Runa
Sure.
[14:30] Momo
Then we'll be off, Kokoro-chan.
[14:40] Seiya
Kokoro.
[14:41] Kokoro
Eating melon buns helps
you regain your strength.
[14:44] Kokoro
So have this and go work hard.
[14:50] Seiya
What should I work hard at?
[14:52] Kokoro
What?
[14:53] Seiya
I just don't know anymore.
[14:57] Seiya
What I want to be...
What I should do next...
[15:01] Kokoro
Melon bun confiscated!
[15:03] Seiya
Huh? Hey, wh-wha... Why?
[15:05] Kokoro
What you want to be, what you should do...
[15:08] Kokoro
Frankly, none of that matters!
[15:12] Kokoro
Take a look at this.
SIGN I love F∞F!
SIGN Seiya's voice seriously gives me chills
SIGN No matter how much I hear him sing, Seiya's the best!

SIGN Here to listen~ You're the best~
SIGN If I had one wish, it'd be for you to keep singing
SIGN This is so healing. I want to hear more.
SIGN Kanata is adorable~
[15:14] Kokoro
You have lots of fans saying
they want to hear you sing.
[15:17] Kokoro
As an IChu, you have to respond
to them with everything you've got.
[15:21] Kokoro
If you can't do that,
then you don't deserve melon buns.
[15:30] Seiya
For the fans...
[15:33] Seiya
I want to do that.
[15:36] Seiya
But...
[15:39] Eva
Darkness closes in.
[15:41] Eva
The sun sinks and the world
is shrouded in darkness.
[15:46] Eva
A darkness so deep it extinguishes
even the twinkling of the stars.
[15:50] Eva
Will Star Knight be swallowed
thus and disappear?
[15:56] Eva
Sammy.
[15:57] Eva
How did Star Knight seem?
[16:02] Eva
I see.
[16:06] Eva
When one is lost in the darkness,
[16:08] Eva
the presence of companions
becomes a guiding a light.
[16:13] Eva
We shall leave this
to Crimson Angel and Dark Sword.
[16:25] Seiya
This is the first place that
anyone ever applauded my performance.
[16:29] Seiya
I was over the moon back then...
[16:34] Seiya
But now, my music just isn't...
[16:37] Kanata
Seiya!
[16:42] Seiya
Kanata... Akira!
[16:47] Seiya
What are you doing here?
[16:48] Kanata
Waiting for you, of course!
[16:51] Seiya
What? You were waiting?
You mean here? This whole time?
[16:55] Kanata
Yup.
[16:56] Kanata
You weren't at school or at home.
[16:58] Kanata
You weren't picking up the phone.
[17:00] Kanata
So we really had to think,
"Where would Seiya go?"
[17:04] Kanata
Right?
[17:05] Akira
This is where we received
our first ever round of applause.
[17:09] Akira
You could say it's where Fire Fenyx was born.
[17:12] Akira
Seiya would definitely come here.
[17:15] Akira
That's what we thought.
[17:17] Kanata
I'm so glad we found you.
[17:18] Akira
We've been quite worried.
[17:20] Seiya
I'm sorry!
[17:22] Seiya
I caused you so much trouble!
[17:24] Seiya
I made you worry!
[17:25] Seiya
I'm really—
[17:26] Kanata
Seiya, Seiya!
[17:29] Seiya
Huh?
[17:30] Kanata
Ta-dah!
[17:31] Akira
Let's have a drink together.
[17:36] Kanata
Looking up to someone and wanting
to become an idol because of them...
[17:40] Kanata
I don't think that's a bad thing, really.
[17:43] Akira
Doesn't everyone basically
get their start that way?
[17:46] Seiya
But Tsubaki-san totally trashed it.
[17:50] Seiya
I just don't know what to do anymore.
[17:53] Seiya
What kind of idol should I be?
[17:58] Kanata
What kind of idol?
[18:01] Kanata
What do you think, Akira-kun?
[18:02] Akira
I don't have enough experience
to give you any good advice.
[18:11] Kanata
I don't really know what kind
of idol you should try to be, but...
[18:19] Kanata
I love you the way you are right now, Seiya!
[18:22] Seiya
Huh?
[18:23] Akira
So do I.
[18:26] Akira
I think you have more charm
than any other idol, Seiya.
[18:29] Seiya
Wh-What's with you two?
[18:33] Seiya
Stop exaggerating.
[18:36] Kanata
It's not an exaggeration. It's the truth.
[18:39] Akira
After all, Fire Fenyx only exists
now because of you, Seiya.
[18:44] Seiya
Me?
[18:45] Kanata
I feel the same way.
[18:47] Kanata
When we first formed Fire Fenyx, I was
so anxious that I didn't know what to so.
[18:51] Kanata
But because you were with me, Seiya,
I've worked this hard and come this far!
[18:55] Akira
Me, too. I just didn't have any confidence.
[18:59] Akira
But, thanks to you, Seiya,
I've managed to make it this far.
[19:02] Seiya
No, I didn't do anything...
[19:05] Kanata
You sang for us here, didn't you?
[19:07] Seiya
Huh?
[19:09] Kanata
You sang,
[19:10] Kanata
and you pulled me and Akira up
onstage with you, didn't you?
[19:14] Akira
And it's thanks to that that we're here now.
[19:26] [SONG] FF
Say, what d'you think it is I'm lacking?
[19:29] [SONG] FF
Every day I fight a difficult battle
[19:32] [SONG] FF
But, "Oh, I wish I could quit this,"
[19:36] [SONG] FF
is something I've never once thought
[19:38] [SONG] FF
The dream I found when I was little
[19:40] Seiya
When I first saw Tsubaki-san on stage,
[19:42] [SONG] FF
like a meteor shower racing through the sky
[19:44] Seiya
I thought, "I wanna be like that."
[19:45] [SONG] FF
Oh, I know I'll never regret it
[19:47] Seiya
He was just so cool. I was deeply moved.
[19:50] [SONG] FF
It's just as I thought
[19:52] Seiya
But he isn't the only thing that's moved me...
[19:52] [SONG] FF
One day, when I look up at that stage
[19:55] [SONG] FF
though it feels so very far away
[19:57] Seiya
Since becoming an IChu,
I've felt so many deep things.
[19:59] [SONG] FF
You can hear that signal to start, right?
[20:01] Seiya
So many people have impacted my life.
[20:04] [SONG] FF

[20:29] Seiya
They're not Tsubaki-san's at all!
[20:33] Seiya
I don't know what my color is,
[20:37] Seiya
but I do know this...
[20:39] Seiya
When I sing with Kanata and Akira,

[20:43] Seiya

[21:16] Seiya
I want to sing!
[21:18] Seiya
More and more!
[21:21] Seiya
Kanata! Akira!
[21:23] Seiya
Will you sing with me?
[21:27] Kanata
Of course. I'd love to!
[21:30] Akira
Me, too.
[21:32] Akira
I want to sing together with both of you.
[21:41] Seiya
I sort of feel like I've been reborn.
[21:44] Kanata
Or maybe been brought back from the dead?
[21:46] Akira
Well, we are the immortal firebird,
Fire Fenyx, after all!
[21:50] Seiya
We are!
[21:53] Seiya
Let's sing at Sound Carnival!

[02:54] Toya
The tea was splendid.
[02:57] Toya
You seem quite motivated, Tsubaki.
[02:59] Tatsumi
It's been a while since Tsubaki did anything
like a tea ceremony for us, right?
[03:04] Aoi
Indeed. It was delicious
and oh-so comforting.
[03:07] Toya
I wonder what turn of events
the wind is blowing our way.
[03:09] Tsubaki
There isn't any wind.
Just keep quiet and drink.
[03:12] Tatsumi
So this is like bait to make
us work harder, huh?
[03:16] Tsubaki
What we do is global.
[03:20] Tsubaki
You've all felt it yourselves,
with the success of our overseas tour.
[03:23] Tsubaki
We don't just have our sights set on Japan...
[03:26] Tsubaki
but all the world.
[03:28] Tsubaki
As long as you're with me, it's possible.
[03:31] Tsubaki
And until we get there,
we cannot let ourselves be beaten.
[03:36] Aoi
We may be going up against our juniors,
[03:38] Aoi
but we need to give it all we've got, no?
[03:40] Tatsumi
Of course. That's the plan.
[03:42] Toya
Indeed.
[03:44] Tsubaki
Make sure you follow me
all the way to the very end.
[03:48] Aoi
You don't even need to say it.
[03:49] Tatsumi
Though you do sound kind of arrogant.
[03:51] Toya
We'll follow you,

[04:31] Mutsuki
This might be what makes me happiest
that I became an IChu.
[04:34] Satsuki
The reason you and I became IChu
[04:37] Satsuki
was so that we could always
be together, right?
[04:40] Mutsuki
Yeah.
[04:41] Satsuki
But that's not all anymore.
[04:43] Mutski
What?
[04:44] Satsuki
I want to stand on stage
smiling with you, Mutsuki!
[04:47] Satsuki
I pray every day that these
fun-filled days go on forever!
[04:51] Mutsuki
Yeah. We'll keep going. Forever.
[04:55] Satsuki
Huh?
[04:56] Satsuki
Seiya! Where are you going?
[04:58] Seiya
I feel like all my energy's just
gonna explode if I stop running!
[05:02] Seiya
Later!
[05:04] Mutsuki
That's so like Seiya.
[05:06] twins
Fight on!
[05:07] Seiya
Yeah!
[05:13] Torahiko
The image is exploding!
[05:16] Akio
Should we really be doing this
right before a performance?
[05:20] Shiki
Why not? Picnics are fun, aren't they?
[05:25] Raku
Tea enjoyed outdoors is especially delicious.
[05:28] Hikaru
Behold me! Even eating a sandwich,
I'm the very image of beauty!
[05:31] Kyosuke
I really like times like this.
[05:34] Kyosuke
You really do need to leave a little
breathing room in your heart.
[05:38] Akio
I wish we could just keep
picnicking forever, but...
[05:41] Akio
Being on stage is scary,
[05:43] Akio
yet not practicing is somehow even scarier.
[05:46] Torahiko
The stage is art!
[05:49] everyone
Huh?
[05:50] Torahiko
I've changed ever since I realized that.
[05:54] Torahiko
Same goes for you guys, right?
[05:56] Torahiko
Before now, we each created works on our own.
[05:59] Torahiko
But...
[06:01] Torahiko
when we're on stage,
all six of ArS creates art together!
[06:06] Torahiko
And that's a method, a technique,
that's uniquely ours!
[06:11] Akio
Something... uniquely ours?
[06:14] Raku
It sounds so tremendously impressive
when you say it, Tora.
[06:19] Shiki
It's strange, but I agree.
[06:21] Torahiko
Now we've come this far,
don't you feel like ArS itself is art?
[06:26] Torahiko
We're going to get even
more and more amazing.
[06:28] Torahiko
I want to make a masterpiece
together, the six of us!
[06:32] Hikaru
There is no need to fret.
[06:34] Hikaru
Its realization is right before our eyes!
[06:36] Shiki
There's no destiny we can't spin.
[06:39] Torahiko
Let's show them who we really are!
[06:43] everyone
Yeah!
[06:44] Seiya
Yeah!
[06:54] Leon
Right! I asked for the max!
[06:57] Rabi
This is my first time at a Shinto shrine!
[06:59] Rabi
I'm having fun.
[07:01] Lucas
The air is so clear and peaceful...
It feels great.
[07:04] Chaoyang
Yes.
[07:05] Noah
I'm glad.
[07:08] Noah
I've always figured that since
we're performing in Japan,
[07:12] Noah
I should pray to the Japanese gods.
[07:14] Chaoyang
It's just like you
to think that way, Noah-san.
[07:16] Leon
I pulled an omikuji fortune!
[07:18] Leon
Look, look!
SIGN Omikuji Fortune #40
SIGN Daikyou
(Great Misfortune)
[07:21] Rabi
"Daikyou"?
[07:23] Leon
What's that mean?
[07:24] Rabi
It's the worst one.
[07:26] Leon
What?!
[07:27] Leon
Sadness...
[07:29] Chaoyang
B-But if you look at it the other way,
[07:31] Chaoyang
that means things can only
get better from here.
[07:34] Lucas
Doesn't that conversely
make it a sign of good luck?
[07:36] Leon
I see!
[07:37] Leon
Then that means we're invincible today!
[07:41] Noah
Thanks to you, Leon, I can feel
confidence welling up inside me.
[07:44] Leon
Ahem!
[07:45] Lucas
Though I was confident in us
even without the fortune.
[07:48] Rabi
That's true.
[07:49] Leon
What?
[07:51] Leon
Well, that's good in its own way.
[07:53] Chaoyang
So you're fine with that?
[07:55] Leon
Don't laugh, Chaoyang.
[08:00] Noah
They remind me of us somehow.
[08:04] Noah
In the beginning, we were all separate.
[08:07] Noah
We've hit so much difficulty
and wavered along the way.
[08:11] Noah
But, by facing all of it,
[08:14] Noah
not only do we understand each other...
I think our potential has grown too.
[08:18] Noah
We shall deliver our sound to the world.
[08:20] Noah
And the chance to fulfill our dream
rests on our performance today.
[08:24] Lucas
Yes. Let's do this
with everything we've got.
[08:27] Rabi
So that we'll be glad we came
to Japan and became IChu.
[08:32] Noah
Yes.
[09:13] Seiya
And I'm gonna stand on the
same stage as Tsubaki-san...
[09:18] Seiya
All right!
[09:28] Kuma
Everyone!
[09:29] Kuma
I like the look in your eyes.
[09:31] Kuma
I am most pleased!
[09:34] Kuma
Now, we're about to begin the selection
performances for Sound Carnival.
[09:41] Kuma
Today's concert won't be
broadcast or anything so lame.
[09:46] Kuma
So I want you to show me how
you perform at full power, okay?

[10:17] Tsubaki
Do your best to keep things
lively until we go on.
[10:21] Issei
Feeling like a member of
the audience? Must be nice.
[10:24] Tsubaki
With me in the audience,
you'd better make sure I'm entertained.
[10:29] Tatsumi
It might be a little too much
responsibility for you, though.
[10:33] Noah
On the contrary.
[10:34] Noah
We don't need you telling us
to bring the fire.
[10:36] Satsuki
That's right!
[10:37] Mutsuki
We'll do it even better than Tenjo Tenge!
[10:41] Tsubaki
You've got guts.
[10:44] Kuma
All right, all right.
This concludes the prelude.

[12:33] Kokoro
Last year, I was here on my own.
[12:36] Kokoro
I stood on that stage alone and
suffered crushing defeat at their hands.
[12:40] Kokoro
But now, I have the two of you.
[12:43] Kokoro
I feel like we can shine
that much brighter than I used to.
[12:46] Momo
Kokoro-chan...
[12:48] Runa
When I decided to join
the group with you, Kokoro,
[12:51] Runa
I felt, "I'll do it for Kokoro's sake."
[12:54] Runa
But now...
[12:56] Runa
I feel like I want to shine on stage with you.
[12:58] Momo
Yeah!
[12:59] Momo
You could say we've started
to feel like IChu.
[13:03] Momo
I'm still a little embarrassed, but...
[13:05] Momo
this is all thanks to you, Kokoro-chan!
[13:07] Kokoro
Momo...
[13:09] Kokoro
Runa...
[13:14] Kokoro
I'm not alone.
[13:18] Kokoro
We are the new POP'N STAR!
[13:21] Kokoro
And our reborn cuteness is off the charts!
[13:25] Kokoro
Let's make sure we leave
Kuma and Tsubaki speechless.

out of your league, right?
[14:12] Ban
What? It is not!
[14:14] Eva
Both of you, Ban and Mio,
have bestowed many a smile upon me.
[14:19] Eva
Since the moment I was born into this world,
[14:22] Eva
you've shone a warm light into my heart.
[14:27] Eva
Though I know it's not befitting
a Demon King of Darkness...
[14:32] Eva
for some reason, it is the one thing I
cannot bear to relinquish.
[14:35] Ban; Mio
Master...
[14:41] Eva
However, that is the essence of RE:BERSERK.
[14:45] Eva
Now, let us demonstrate our power!
[14:50] Ban; Mio

When you think about it, we're the same.
[14:57] Issei
Huh?
[14:58] Takamichi
Three as one.
[15:00] Takamichi
Though our leader never
says such nice things to us.
[15:05] Issei
We don't need that.
[15:06] Futami
That's right!
It shows even if you don't say it.
[15:09] Futami
That's just how Lancelot rolls.
[15:13] Takamichi
We know how you feel, Issei.

"This time we'll pulverize
Tenjo Tenge!" Right?

Sorry! Stop the music!
[17:20] everyone
Huh? What's wrong?
[17:31] Seiya
Before we perform...
[17:32] Seiya
there's something I really
need to tell Tsubaki-san.
[17:37] Tsubaki
Some excuse for when you lose?
[17:39] Seiya
No.
[17:42] Seiya
Thank you very much!
[17:46] Seiya
Tsubaki-san, you said to me,
"What's the point of becoming me?"
[17:51] Seiya
It was a shock at first,
but thanks to you, I've found a new goal.
[17:56] Tsubaki
A goal?
[17:58] Seiya
To inspire wonder and emotion for all...
[18:01] Seiya
To become a light that makes everyone shine!
[18:06] Seiya
So thank you.
[18:09] Seiya
I want you to watch
and see how much I've grown.
[18:14] Tsubaki
I'm amused.

Let's see you try.

Say, what d'you think it is I'm lacking?
[18:21] [SONG] FF
Every day I fight a difficult battle
[18:24] [SONG] FF
But, "Oh, I wish I could quit this,"
[18:29] [SONG] FF
is something I've never once thought
[18:31] [SONG] FF
The dream I found when I was little
[18:34] [SONG] FF
like a meteor shower racing through the sky
[18:38] [SONG] FF
Oh, I know I'll never regret it
[18:42] [SONG] FF
It's just as I thought
[18:44] [SONG] FF
One day, when I look up at that stage
[18:47] Noah
Seiya!
[18:48] [SONG] FF
though it feels so very far away
[18:49] Kokoro
He really has grown, hasn't he?
[18:52] Issei
He's gone and done it.
[19:26] Toya
You look pleased.
[19:28] Tsubaki
I'm more pumped than ever have before.
[19:30] Tsubaki
You guys are, too, right?
[19:32] Tatsumi
Yeah! To think they'd give
performances like that...
[19:35] Aoi
The Class 2s are on a completely
different level from last year, too.
[19:39] Tsubaki
That kid...
[19:41] Tsubaki
Who'd have thought he'd come this far?
[19:44] Tsubaki
Still, we are the ones who will win.
[19:46] Aoi
Of course.
[19:48] Tatsumi
This is our dream.
[19:50] Toya
We won't let anyone take it from us.
[19:53] Tsubaki
It is Tenjo Tenge who
will conquer the world.

Hey! Noah!
[00:13] Noah
Seiya!
[00:14] Noah
Doing some training?
[00:15] Seiya
Yeah.
[00:16] Seiya
I just can't sit still after getting
totally destroyed by Tenjo Tenge.
[00:21] Seiya
What are you up to, Noah?
[00:26] Noah
I was just thinking that this is lovely painting.
[00:28] Seiya
Isn't it? Torahiko painted it in ArS' image.
[00:33] Noah
It's apparently going to be removed tomorrow.
[00:35] Seiya
What?
[00:37] Noah
They said it's because it was
painted without permission.
[00:40] Seiya
Oh. I see...
[00:45] Noah
Wh-What's wrong?
[00:47] Seiya
I'm just so frustrated!
[00:50] Seiya
Tenjo Tenge really did rock the stage, but...
[00:54] Seiya
but I'm still upset.
[00:57] Seiya
I wanted to appear on Sound Carnival...
[01:02] Noah
I feel the same.
[01:04] Noah
I'm sure we all do.
[01:07] Noah
We gave everything we had at the audition.
[01:10] Noah
I'm sure everyone has come to terms
with how it turned out.
[01:14] Noah
But it's precisely because
we threw ourselves into this
[01:16] Noah
that the shock of losing is so great.
[01:20] Noah
Of course, we all know that
we need to keep working hard.
[01:24] Noah
But... it's hard to switch gears.
[01:33] Seiya
Only one group gets to appear.
[01:36] Seiya
That's so harsh.
[01:38] Noah
Yes.
[01:39] Noah
But it's harsh for Tenjo Tenge, too.
[01:42] Seiya
Huh?
[01:43] Noah
At Sound Carnival,
[01:46] Noah
many artists with both popularity
and skill will be performing.
[01:51] Noah
How will Tenjo Tenge be able
to make their mark amidst them all?
[01:56] Seiya
I wish I could see Tsubaki-san
perform with my own eyes.
[02:01] Kuma
Then why not go watch?
[02:03] Seiya; Noah
What?
[02:04] Seiya; Noah
Principal Kuma Kocho!
[02:06] Kuma
Hey.

Waiting at the end of this path...

it isn't the goal, it's just the start
[02:33] [SONG] song
These longings won't stop
[02:35] [SONG] song
Ready set go!
[02:38] [SONG] song
Sometimes we have tense clashes
[02:40] [SONG] song
Overcoming them brings
a sense of togetherness
[02:43] [SONG] song
Bring on any barriers, Come on!
[02:45] [SONG] song
Break the wall
[02:47] [SONG] song
This future I've chosen
[02:50] [SONG] song
I'll believe in its possibilities
[02:53] [SONG] song
I have friends who give me strength
[02:55] [SONG] song
That is why...
[02:57] [SONG] song
I choose my dream!

Sing! (Yeah!)

[03:09] [SONG] song
we'll paint a Rainbow

Aim high!
[03:13] [SONG] song
(Go to the top)
[03:14] [SONG] song
Jump! (Yeah!)
[03:15] [SONG] song
On that stage of dreams...
[03:17] [SONG] song
I want to become the first star
in the sky, sparkling brightly
[03:22] [SONG] song
We are trying to be a star
[03:26] [SONG] song
Grab hold of that miracle
[03:30] [SONG] song
Whoa Whoa Whoa
SIGN Sound Carnival is here!
SIGN IChu
[03:39] Torahiko
It's huge!
[03:40] Noah
It's on a completely different scale.
[03:43] Producer
All right, everyone. Put these on.
[03:46] Chaoyang
Producer-san, are these...
[03:49] Producer
Staff jackets.
[03:50] Producer
We're having you all join in
to help work Sound Carnival.
[03:55] Issei
Why should we do that?
[03:57] Chaoyang
You don't mean...
[03:58] Chaoyang
Have we failed at becoming idols?!
[04:00] Producer
What? N-No, nothing like that...
[04:03] Kuma
Non, non, non, non, non!
[04:05] Kuma
The organizers were shorthanded
and asking for help, you see.
[04:10] Kuma
This was the perfect opportunity
to put them a favor in our debt!
[04:14] Kokoro
I wish you'd at least asked first.
[04:16] Kokoro
After all, we have our pride—
[04:18] Seiya
I'm in!
[04:19] Seiya
Let me do it, Principal!
[04:21] Akira
Seiya?
[04:22] Akira
But...
[04:23] Kanata
Didn't you want to watch
Tenjo Tenge's performance?
[04:27] Seiya
Yeah!
[04:28] Seiya
As staff, we might get somewhere
even better than the audience seats
[04:30] Seiya
to watch the show when
Tsubaki-san and the guys go on!
[04:33] Seiya
Plus, we get to see how they put
the stage and everything together!
[04:37] Seiya
We'll learn so much!
[04:39] Kokoro
You really are idiotically
optimistic, aren't you?
[04:43] Seiya
Huh?
[04:44] Noah
No.
[04:45] Noah
This could be a great chance for us.
[04:47] Satsuki
Yeah.
[04:48] Satsuki
It might come in handy when we're
thinking about our own performances.
[04:52] Torahiko
Sounds like fun!
[04:55] Issei
I guess if you're forcing me...
[04:57] Kuma
In that case, we're counting on you all, okay?
[05:06] Hikaru
Oh! How beautiful!
[05:08] Hikaru
You do quite well, Akabane Futami!
[05:12] Hikaru
I, too, shall beautify this arrangement
with these beautiful flowers.
[05:18] Hikaru
There! There! There!
[05:19] Futami
How could you?
[05:23] Kokoro
If all you do is line up the
refreshments, it looks dull.
[05:27] Kokoro
You've got to make them pop
so they catch your eye. Cute, right?
[05:33] Eva
Light and darkness...
[05:37] Eva
abide my will...
[05:39] Ban
Eva-sama!
[05:40] Ban
You shouldn't be playing with the spotlights!
[05:47] Shiki
Akio? What's wrong?
[05:50] Akio
I was just thinking it's a shame.
[05:53] Akio
I have no intention of
becoming an idol, so why...
[05:59] Shiki
I'm sure it must be because
you've worked so hard, Akio.
[06:03] Akio
Huh?
[06:06] Shiki
It's because you worked
hard that you feel upset.
[06:12] Akio
I wanted...
[06:14] Akio
everyone to see ArS on that stage...
[06:18] Torahiko
It really is a shame
[06:20] Torahiko
we won't be able to show off our amazing art.
[06:37] Rabi
We wanted to be up there.
[06:41] Chaoyang
Yeah.
[07:02] Tsubaki
Nice reflexes. As usual.
[07:06] Issei
The one under protection
shouldn't be attacking.
[07:10] Tsubaki
Did you quit being an IChu and switch jobs?
[07:12] Issei
Would I do that?
[07:13] Issei
I'm safeguarding your show.
[07:17] Issei
I may have lost this battle,
but the war isn't over.
[07:21] Issei
If you give a halfhearted performance,
I won't let you off easy.
[07:25] Issei
Until I come take you down myself,
you'd better not lose to anyone else.
[07:30] Tsubaki
Keep talking.
[07:32] Producer
Tsubaki-kun! Everyone!
[07:35] Producer
The rehearsal is starting.
[07:40] Tsubaki
Producer, is everything ready?
[07:43] Producer
It's perfect!
[07:44] Aoi
That's our producer for you.
[07:46] Toya
You're quick at your work.
[07:49] Satsuki
"Is everything ready"?
[07:51] Mutsuki
What do they mean?
SIGN Sound Carnival is here!
[07:54] staff
Thank you for waiting!
[07:56] staff

Everyone, welcome to Sound Carnival!
[08:07] Akira
Please have your tickets ready!
[08:10] Kanata
No pushing, please! Proceed carefully!
[08:15] girl A
U-Um!
[08:16] girl A
You're Akira-san from Fire Fenyx, aren't you?
[08:19] girl B
We're always cheering for you!
[08:22] Akira
Thank you very much.
[08:25] girl C
Kanata-kun, I'm a fan of yours!
[08:27] Kanata
Thank you very much.
[08:29] Mutsuki
We have special-edition merchandise!
[08:32] Satsuki
Limited quantities available!
[08:34] Leon
Thank you for your purchase.
[08:40] Noah
Here we are. This is your seat.
[08:42] woman
Th-Thank you so much.
[08:46] Noah
You're very welcome.
[08:51] Producer
Will you take these to Tenjo Tenge's
dressing room for me?
[08:55] Akio
What are they?
[08:56] Producer
What?
[08:57] Producer
Why, it's the wardrobe
for the show, of course!
[09:01] Akio
This is all clothes?
[09:04] Torahiko
They must be doing a ton of costume changes.
[09:06] Producer
U-Um, well...
[09:09] Producer
I have a meeting with the principal,
so... I'll leave this to you!
[09:20] Noah
It seems we've managed to finish setting up.
[09:26] Noah
They're already cheering...
[09:28] Rabi
They just can't wait.
[09:32] Chaoyang
It's even making me feel nervous.
[09:42] Kuma
It begins at last.
[09:45] Kuma
I'm so excited!
SIGN I★CHU
SIGN I★CHU
[10:18] Seiya
Tsubaki-san!
[10:20] Seiya
Over here!
[10:24] Tsubaki
Huh...
[10:25] Tsubaki
I thought you'd be moping,
but that doesn't seem to be the case.
[10:29] Seiya
I don't have time to be depressed.
[10:32] Seiya
I'm gonna train a whole bunch,
[10:34] Seiya
and next time, I'll put on a show
that's even better!
[10:39] Tsubaki
I like your resolve.
[10:45] Tsubaki
We'll show you what
a great performance looks like.
[10:49] Tsubaki
Keep your eyes wide open and watch closely.
[10:52] Seiya
I will!
[11:00] Tsubaki
Tenjo Tenge, set forth into battle!
[11:10] Tsubaki
Just keep quiet and follow me!
[11:13] Tsubaki
I'll show you a world
you've never seen before!
[11:16] [SONG] song
Until the day the light
spills over and falls...
[11:21] [SONG] song
Your feelings, who are those feelings for
[11:26] [SONG] song
Placing a wish on a star floating in the sky
[11:31] [SONG] song
Light shines out, as if in sympathy
[11:34] [SONG] song
And so, farewell, I must open the path
[11:37] [SONG] song
Staking everything on a sliver of hope
[11:40] [SONG] song
Toward tomorrow
[11:41] [SONG] song
These emotions race forward
These unwavering feelings
[11:44] [SONG] song
I know they will reach you
[11:46] [SONG] song
Oh, in all the heavens and all the earth
[11:48] [SONG] song
Now is the moment to go together
[11:50] [SONG] song
Whether a dream or an illusion
[11:51] [SONG] song
These tears of anguish will be wiped away
[11:55] [SONG] song
In my heart
[11:56] [SONG] song
O, heavens, lead the charge
[11:58] [SONG] song
In this moment, I can go with you
[12:00] [SONG] song
Time, leading to tomorrow
[12:01] [SONG] song
The blossom of your heart is stolen away
[12:05] [SONG] song
With these hands
[12:06] [SONG] song
Let the thunder roar
[12:08] [SONG] song
Until the day the moon falls dark...
[12:15] Seiya
Tsubaki-san really is amazing!
[12:18] Satsuki
Wow!
[12:21] Noah
They don't pale in comparison at all,
not even against famous artists.
[12:25] Eva
A stunning performance.
[12:28] Eva
How vexing.
[12:29] [SONG] song
Oh, in all the heavens and all the earth
[12:31] [SONG] song
Now is the moment to go together
[12:34] [SONG] song
Whether a dream or an illusion
[12:35] [SONG] song
These tears of anguish will be wiped away
[12:38] [SONG] song
In my heart
[12:39] Torahiko
I wonder it looks like from up there.
[12:40] [SONG] song
O, heavens, lead the charge
[12:41] [SONG] song
In this moment, I can go with you
[12:42] Kokoro
I don't know.
[12:43] Kokoro
The only idols who do are
the ones who make it to that stage.
[12:44] [SONG] song
Time, leading to tomorrow
[12:45] [SONG] song
The blossom of your heart is stolen away
[12:47] Issei
One day, we, too...
[12:48] [SONG] song
With these hands
[12:50] [SONG] song
Let the thunder roar
[12:52] [SONG] song
Until the day the moon falls dark...
[13:19] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:25] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:29] Satsuki
Wow!
[13:31] Chaoyang
They're all calling for an encore!
[13:31] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:35] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:39] Kanata
Seiya?
[13:41] Akira
What's wrong?
[13:41] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:42] Seiya
Akira, Kanata...
[13:45] Seiya
I wanna sing!
[13:46] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:47] Kuma
Then why not sing?
[13:49] everyone
Huh?
[13:51] Kanata
"Why not sing"?
[13:52] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[13:53] Akira
Where?
[13:54] Kuma
Right there!
[13:55] everyone
Huh?
[13:56] everyone
What?!
[13:58] Satsuki
H-Hold on....
[14:00] Satsuki
Everyone in the audience is calling
for an encore from Tenjo Tenge, right?
[14:04] Issei
You're telling us to go on
in the middle of all that?
[14:07] Akio
We can't!
[14:08] Akio
If we go out there, they'll boo us!
[14:11] Tsubaki
Don't be so sure.
[14:15] Tsubaki
Will you just take the booing,
or will you change it into cheering?
[14:19] Tsubaki
That's up to you.
[14:21] Kuma
Producer-chan!
[14:25] Akio
Oh! Those are from earlier.
[14:29] Producer
We have costumes for all of you!
[14:32] Kuma
Très bien!
[14:36] Issei
So you planned to get an encore
from the very beginning?
[14:40] Tsubaki
That's right.
[14:42] Toya
We would make sure to get an encore,
and put all the IChu up on that stage.
[14:47] Toya
That's the promise we made.
[14:49] Seiya
Promise?
[14:51] Seiya
Does that mean...
[14:52] Producer
They're giving you a hand to help you grow.
[14:57] Producer
Principal Kuma asked Tsubaki-kun to do that for you.
[15:04] Tsubaki
We are Tenjo Tenge.
[15:07] Tsubaki
We were given this name so that we
would rule supreme over the idol world.
[15:11] Kuma
I'm the one who named them!
[15:14] Tsubaki
We'd kick down any rivals
who stood in the way,
[15:16] Tsubaki
and rise to the top on our own strength!
[15:19] Tsubaki
In doing so, I thought we'd seize
true power over the world.
[15:23] Tsubaki
But there's more to it...
[15:26] Tsubaki
It is because of those we battle against
[15:29] Tsubaki
that we are able to rise
to even greater heights!
[15:32] Seiya
Tsubaki-san...
[15:34] Tsubaki
All of you! The desire to sing is
buzzing through you, is it not?
[15:38] Tsubaki
You want to stand atop the Sound Carnival
stage so bad that you can't stand it, right?
[15:43] Ban
I want to be up there!
[15:44] Eva
Ban...
[15:45] Ban
I mean, we all trained so,
so hard for this, didn't we?
[15:50] Ban
I don't want to stay this way...
[15:52] Ban
I want to be on stage.
[15:55] Tsubaki
Then take the stage!
[15:57] Tsubaki
Take hold of this chance that's appeared
before you with all of your might!
[16:01] Producer
The rest depends on how you all feel.
[16:06] Eva
I am of the same mind as my servant.
[16:12] Eva
Let us go together!
[16:13] Ban
Eva-sama!
[16:15] Kokoro
We're going to make everyone bow at our feet!
[16:20] Issei
I can't stand the fact that
this was all set up for us,
[16:23] Issei
but I never back down from a fight!
[16:26] Torahiko
I have the feeling a new kind
of art is about to be born!
[16:29] Hikaru
I am ever as beauteous as Venus!
[16:32] Hikaru
Should I stand on that dazzling stage
clad in those snow-white garments,
[16:37] Hikaru
I shall shine even more beautifully!
[16:40] Akio
I-I'm not emotionally prepared for this...
[16:42] Chaoyang
I-I'm so nervous, my legs are...
[16:46] Rabi
Don't worry. You aren't alone.
[16:48] Noah
We're all with you.
[16:50] Kanata
I am scared, but...
[16:53] Akira
I want us to sing together.
[16:55] Seiya; Kanata
Yeah!
[16:56] Seiya
Let's sing!
[16:58] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[17:03] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[17:08] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[17:14] crowd
Encore! Encore! Encore!
[17:42] [SONG] song
If you look back... See? A shooting star
[17:47] [SONG] song
I want you. Oh!
[17:50] [SONG] song
You saw everything, everything, didn't you?
[17:55] [SONG] song
I need you. Oh!
[17:57] [SONG] song
So, all the encounters and partings
[18:01] [SONG] song
were a path leading to today
[18:05] [SONG] song
If you want to quit, then quit
[18:09] [SONG] song
If you want to cry, then cry
[18:13] [SONG] song
I will continue on this path
[18:19] [SONG] song
There, shining the brightest
[18:23] [SONG] song
that brilliance is what I want to be
[18:26] [SONG] song
With love...
[18:27] [SONG] song
Hey!
[18:28] [SONG] song
and hard work
[18:29] [SONG] song
Hey!
[18:30] [SONG] song
With dreams...
[18:31] [SONG] song
Hey!
[18:32] [SONG] song
and destiny
[18:33] [SONG] song
Yeah!
[18:34] [SONG] song
It's only because you
believed that today has come
[18:42] [SONG] song
And now we begin, the path to being an idol
[19:06] [SONG] song
We've had fights, and sometimes
you really ticked me off
[19:11] [SONG] song
Those days too...
[19:13] [SONG] song
There were nights we talked
of our dreams until morning
[19:19] [SONG] song
All of it...
[19:21] [SONG] song
So, you and me and they
[19:25] [SONG] song
have all made it this far on this path
[19:29] [SONG] song
Sometimes it was lonely
[19:33] [SONG] song
Sometimes it was frustrating
[19:37] [SONG] song
But I won't be beaten by it
[19:43] [SONG] song
I know that the thing
that shines the brightest
[19:46] [SONG] song
resides deep inside my heart
[19:50] [SONG] song
With music...
[19:51] [SONG] song
Hey!
[19:52] [SONG] song
and the future...
[19:53] [SONG] song
Hey!
[19:54] [SONG] song
and with everlasting...
[19:55] [SONG] song
Hey!
[19:56] [SONG] song
peace
[19:57] [SONG] song
Yeah!
[19:58] [SONG] song
It only shines as brightly as you believe
[20:06] [SONG] song
That's why it never ends,
this path to being an idol
[20:15] Seiya
The song took on so many colors...
[20:18] Seiya
but sights and sounds don't last forever.
[20:21] Seiya
Eventually, they disappear.
[20:23] Seiya
Yet right now, this very moment,
[20:27] Seiya
the wonder engraved in our hearts
[20:29] Seiya
will never fade away!
[20:32] [SONG] song
There, shining the brightest
[20:35] [SONG] song
that brilliance is what I want to be
[20:39] [SONG] song
With love...
[20:40] [SONG] song
Hey!
[20:41] [SONG] song
and hard work
[20:42] [SONG] song
Hey!
[20:43] [SONG] song
With dreams...
[20:44] [SONG] song
Hey!
[20:45] [SONG] song
and destiny
[20:46] [SONG] song
Yeah!
[20:47] [SONG] song
It's only because you
believed that today has come
[20:55] [SONG] song
And now we begin, the path to being an idol
[21:13] Seiya
I'm not an idol yet.
[21:17] Seiya
I'm only halfway there...
[21:21] Seiya
I'm an IChu!
[21:25] [SONG] song
No matter how dark, No matter how cold
[21:27] Seiya
To put a smile on everyone's face...
[21:31] [SONG] song
I want to become the courage
that lights your night sky
