Whoa!
**[00:05] Leon**
Rabi's smiling first thing in the morning!
**[00:10] (Flashback) Rabi**
Dobroye utro...
**[00:12] Leon**
He usually looks ready to kill someone
when he first wakes up.
**[00:15] Rabi**
Today's an important day,
so I just woke up like this naturally.
**[00:19] Noah**
Are you all ready?
**[00:22] Lucas**
Yes.
**[00:22] Chaoyang**
Y-Yes!
**[00:24] Leon**
Perfectly!

Ready set go!
**[02:28] [SONG] song**
Sometimes we have tense clashes

**[03:30] Producer**
Here's each group's CD sales.
**[03:34] Producer**
Thanks to their previous streaming worldwide,
**[03:37] Producer**
I♥B has an existing fanbase
**[03:39] Producer**
and has enjoyed steady sales.
**[03:42] Producer**
Twinkle Bell has used their appeal
as twins to its fullest potential.
**[03:47] Producer**
They've uploaded music videos, of course,
as well as behind-the-scenes videos

**[03:50] Producer**
to gain more followers.
**[03:51] Producer**
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.
**[04:21] Producer**
Principal...
**[04:23] Producer**
If they can't sell all their CDs,
**[04:25] Producer**
are you really going to expel them?
**[04:27] Kuma**
But of course!
**[04:29] Kuma**
If they can't accomplish that much,
they'll never survive what lies ahead.
**[04:33] Kuma**
You know that better than anyone, don't you?
**[04:42] Kuma**
Where are you going?
**[04:45] Producer**
To them, of course.
**[04:47] Producer**
As a producer, it's my duty to support them.
**[04:52] Kuma**
Take care!
**[05:03] Kanata**
It's pretty big, isn't it?
**[05:04] Akira**
Yeah.
**[05:05] Seiya**
This rules!
**[05:07] Seiya**
Tons of people are gonna hear us sing, huh?
**[05:11] Akira**
Yeah.
**[05:12] Kanata**
That's true.
**[05:17] Chaoyang**
It seems so lively here...
**[05:20] Lucas**
It's not the kind of place
where you quietly listen to music.
**[05:23] Noah**
Makes this worth doing, doesn't it?
**[05:26] Noah**
We won't be drowned out by any other sound.
We'll overpower it with the roar of our song!
**[05:29] everyone**
Yeah.
**[05:31] Seiya**
Hello! We're Fire Fenyx!
**[05:34] Seiya**
We're here for the concert
on your outdoor stage today.
**[05:37] attendant**
It's a pleasure to have you.
**[05:48] Torahiko**
All that practice was fun, yeah?
**[05:52] Torahiko**
Painting on my own is fun, too.
But, you know....
**[05:54] Torahiko**
dancing and singing with you all
over the past three months
**[05:58] Torahiko**
has been an absolute blast!
**[06:01] Shiki**
Same goes for me.
**[06:02] Kyosuke**
Me, too!
**[06:06] Torahiko**
Now, let's create...
**[06:08] Torahiko**
our concert!
**[06:15] Satsuki**
There're so many people...
**[06:17] Mutsuki**
Are we going to be okay?
**[06:22] Satsuki**
Of course we'll be okay.
**[06:24] Satsuki**
We're here together!
**[06:27] Mutsuki**
You're right.
**[06:28] Mutsuki**
I'm unbeatable when I'm with you, Satsuki.
**[06:33] twins**
Let's go!
**[06:46] Seiya**
Thank you for listening!
**[06:48] Kanata**
If you enjoyed it, please give our CD a try!
**[06:51] Akira**
Thank you for your support.
**[06:55] Seiya**
Heck yeah! They were
really into it, weren't they?
**[06:58] Akira**
Yeah, you could really feel their energy.
**[07:00] Kokoro**
The real fight is yet to come.
**[07:02] Seiya**
Kokoro!
**[07:03] Seiya**
You came to watch?
**[07:05] Kokoro**
I only dropped by to show support.
**[07:07] Kokoro**
But I'll let you in on a little something.
**[07:09] Kokoro**
I hear I♥B has sold out of CDs.
**[07:13] Seiya**
All right!
**[07:15] Seiya**
That's Noah's gang for you!
**[07:17] Kokoro**
You're happy? Even though your
peers have left you in the dust?
**[07:21] Seiya**
We're all IChu! It's always great
to see your friends succeed.
**[07:24] Seiya**
Right?
**[07:25] Kanata**
Yeah!
**[07:26] Kanata**
I'm even more motivated now.
**[07:27] Akira**
We have to work hard, too.
**[07:30] Kokoro**
Softies, the lot of you.
**[07:35] Runa**
Hello, everyone. It's been a while.
**[07:38] Seiya**
Have we met somewhere before?
**[07:41] Runa**
Allow me to formally introduce myself.
**[07:43] Runa**
I'm Kagurazaka Runa.
**[07:44] Momo**
I'm Oikawa Momosuke!
**[07:46] Momo**
Call me Momo, okay?
**[07:49] Akira**
Runa... Momosuke...
**[07:58] Akira**
You're...
**[08:01] Runa**
We've recently become otokonoko.
**[08:04] Kanata**
That's amazing!
**[08:05] Kanata**
You look like girls, no matter how hard I look!
**[08:09] Kokoro**
Well, of course.
**[08:11] Kokoro**
They're the newest members of POP'N STAR.
**[08:15] Seiya**
That means...
**[08:19] Kokoro**
I've decided to form a group, too.
**[08:23] Kanata**
I'm Rabby-Rabby. What's your name?
**[08:25] Momo**
Oh! Um... I'm Ricky.
**[08:29] Momo**
It's nice to meet you.
**[08:30] Kanata**
It's a pleasure to meet you, Ricky!
**[08:35] Akira**
Why did you decide to become IChu?
**[08:37] Runa**
Kokoro asked us.
**[08:39] Runa**
I was surprised, but I thought that
if I could be of any help...
**[08:43] Momo**
I'm still shy about it, but if
it's for Kokoro-chan, then...
**[08:47] Runa; Momo**
You know?
**[08:51] Seiya**
I'm so happy for you, Kokoro!
**[08:54] Kokoro**
Honestly, you're such a softie.
**[08:56] Kokoro**
You don't have time to waste
being happy for others, do you?
**[08:59] Kokoro**
Hurry up and sell those CDs already.
**[09:02] Seiya**
We will!
**[09:06] Iroha**
Oh!
**[09:07] Iroha**
Hey! Big brothers!
**[09:09] FF**
Oh!
**[09:10] Seiya**
You're...
**[09:12] Seiya**
the girl from back then!
**[09:14] Seiya**
We meet again!
**[09:15] Iroha**
Yeah!
**[09:16] Producer**
Do you know her?
**[09:18] Akira**
Well, sort of.
**[09:20] Kanata**
She's a very important audience member to us.
**[09:23] Seiya**
Did you come with your mom?
**[09:26] Iroha**
Huh?
**[09:28] Iroha**
Mommy?
**[09:31] Iroha**
Mommy's gone...
**[09:33] Seiya**
What?
**[09:33] Kanata**
Did you get separated?
**[09:36] Iroha**
What should I do?
**[09:37] Seiya**
What's your name?
**[09:39] Iroha**
Iroha.
**[09:40] Seiya**
Wanna look for your mom with me, Iroha-chan?
**[09:43] others**
What?
**[09:44] Producer**
Seiya-kun, don't you realize?
**[09:47] Producer**
Today's your last day.
**[09:48] Producer**
If you don't clear the assignment,
you'll be expelled!
**[09:53] Seiya**
This girl heard us sing and clapped for us.
**[09:58] Kanata; Akira**
Yeah.
**[10:02] Seiya**
I don't wanna get expelled, but if
I abandon a fan in trouble...
**[10:07] Seiya**
I don't think I'd be able to sing well.
**[10:09] Producer**
Seiya-kun...
**[10:11] Producer**
Still—
**[10:11] staff**
Producer-san!
**[10:13] staff**
We need you for the check!
**[10:14] Producer**
Er, coming!
**[10:16] Producer**
Um, well...
**[10:17] Akira**
Producer, you should focus on your work.
**[10:19] Akira**
Seiya, leave this to us.
**[10:22] Kanata**
We'll work hard and do
your part to sell CDs too, Seiya.
**[10:25] Kanata**
So you go help Iroha-chan find her mom.
**[10:34] Producer**
Seiya-kun.
**[10:36] Producer**
Make sure you're back
before the concert starts.
**[10:40] Producer**
Understood?
**[10:41] Seiya**

Being in front of this many
people makes me nervous...
**[15:08] Akira**
Huh?
**[15:08] Akira**
Why are you hiding?
**[15:10] Kanata**
You're so big, Akira-kun. I thought
you'd be perfect to hide behind.
**[15:14] Kanata**
See?
**[15:15] Akira**
Please come out.
**[15:16] Akira**
Being out here alone makes *me* nervous...

Every day I fight a difficult battle

But, "Oh, I wish I could quit this,"
**[16:04] [SONG] FF**
is something I've never once thought.
**[16:07] [SONG] FF**
The dream I found when I was little
**[16:10] Satsuki**
What's all this?
**[16:10] [SONG] FF**
like a meteor shower racing through the sky
**[16:11] Mutsuki**
More and more people keep coming!
**[16:13] Noah**
Seiya and the others' singing
is drawing everyone in.
**[16:13] [SONG] FF**
Oh, I know I'll never regret it
**[16:17] Hikaru**
What blinding brilliance!
**[16:18] [SONG] FF**
It's just as I thought
**[16:19] Torahiko**
They're fun!
**[16:20] [SONG] FF**
One day, when I look up at that stage
**[16:24] [SONG] FF**

**[17:05] Producer**
Seiya-kun and the boys are singing...
**[17:07] Producer**
Not to complete the CD assignment
**[17:10] Producer**
and not to avoid getting expelled...
**[17:13] Producer**
but simply...
**[17:14] Producer**
for the fans in front of them
and for their smiles.
**[17:23] Seiya**
Awakening what's inside us...
**[17:26] Seiya**
Fire Fenyx!
**[17:28] Iroha**

**[17:47] Leon**

**[17:49] Leon**
Amazing!
**[17:50] Lucas**
It's to be expected, with
the performance they just gave.
**[17:54] Noah**
Just a little more!
**[17:56] twins**
Fight!
**[17:58] Momo**
Everyone's cheering each other on.
**[18:01] Runa**
Being an IChu is nice.
**[18:04] Kokoro**
It is.
**[18:05] Kokoro**
But...
**[18:07] Kokoro**
the real trial is still yet to come.
**[18:09] Iroha**
One Fire Fenyx CD, please!
**[18:12] Seiya**
Thank you!
**[18:19] Kanata**
We did it...
**[18:20] Kanata**
We did it!
**[18:21] Akira**
We're sold out—
**[18:23] Seiya**
We really did it!
**[18:36] Lucas**
This song...
**[18:38] Kuma**
*Bonjour!*
**[18:40] Kuma**
*This is Principal Kuma!*
**[18:42] woman**
What? Principal Kuma Kocho?
**[18:44] woman**
No way!
**[18:45] woman 2**
Oh! Principal Kuma Kocho!
**[18:47] girl**
Cute!
**[18:49] Shiki**
He's incredibly popular...
**[18:55] Kuma**
*Clap! Clap-clap-clap!*
**[18:57] Kuma**
* To Class 3, congratulations*
* on selling out of your CDs.*
**[19:01] Kuma**
*It seems you all pass.*
**[19:04] Kuma**
*Très bien!*
**[19:06] Kuma**
* All of Class 3 is now officially*
* recognized as IChu. Congratulations.*
**[19:12] Seiya**
All right!
**[19:18] Kuma**
*Kuma-san has a celebratory present for you.*
**[19:21] Kuma**
*Producer-chan!*
**[19:25] Kuma**
*Clap! Clappity-clap!*
**[19:28] Kuma**
*Made exclusively for IChu...*
**[19:30] Kuma**
*they're special mics!*
**[19:32] Noah**
Personalized mics...
**[19:34] Torahiko**
I like it!
***SIGN*** Aido Seiya
**[19:36] Seiya**
I wanna sing with this so bad already!
**[19:41] Akira**
Producer...
**[19:43] Kuma**
*I have one more present for you.*
**[19:46] Kuma**
*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.*

**[23:43] Seiya**
Lots and lots of broth?
**[23:45] Runa**
Momo, Kokoro's going to be angry with you.
**[23:47] Momo**
I'm sorry, Kokoro-chan!
