[00:12] (Flashback) Okazaki
    Cameras will be rolling during all
    24 hours of the training camp, right?
[00:16] (Flashback) Momo
    Tenn sounds good solo, too.
[00:18] (Flashback) Gaku
    He sounds good solo, but...
[00:19] (Flashback) Ryu
    I prefer the three of us singing together.
[00:21] SONG
    Over! Over! Now... Break Dis one!
[00:22] (Flashback) Gaku
    Yeah.

    Re:vale will write the theme song,
    TRIGGER will come up with the choreography,
SIGN    Theme: "Love!!" Theme Song: Re:vale Costumes: IDOLiSH7 Choreography: TRIGGER
[00:40] Iori
    and IDOLiSH7 will provide the costumes.
[00:43] Iori
    The next question is how we'll
    reflect the program's theme.
SIGN    "Love!!"
[00:46] Riku
    What do you guys think of a song that
    supports people who are doing their best?
[00:49] Ryu
    That sounds nice. I'd like to return
    the support we always receive.
[00:54] Yamato
    A song that encourages
    people with the message,
[00:56] Yamato
    "Look around and you'll find
    friends all around you."
[00:59] Momo
    A song that makes you want to
    get together and happily dance.
[01:02] Yuki
    That's a lot of requests.
[01:05] Yuki
    But an idea's starting to form.
[01:07] Yuki
    Something special yet also common,
[01:09] Yuki
    with a desire to encourage
    both ourselves and others.
[01:12] Yuki
    That's exactly what we are.
[01:14] Yuki
    Let's turn ourselves into a message
    and deliver that to the audience.

[02:58] Tamaki
    There's so many costumes!
[03:00] Sogo
    We were told these were
    provided for reference,
[03:02] Sogo
    but looking at these costumes
    reminds me of songs I've heard.
[03:06] Yamato
    Mitsu.
[03:07] ---
    Huh?
[03:08] Yamato
    Try on Tsunashi-san's costume.
[03:10] Mitsuki
    I know exactly what you're up to!
[03:13] Nagi
    How do I look?
[03:15] Tamaki
    Nagicchi, everything looks great on you.
[03:37] Yuki
    What do you think?
[03:38] Momo
    It's good. I like it.
[03:40] Riku
    Excuse me.
[03:42] Riku
    I wanted to discuss the T-shirt design.
[03:44] Riku
    Since there're twelve of us, I thought
    we could use a Chinese zodiac motif.
[03:48] Riku
    So maybe the song could
    have a Japanese feel to—
[03:50] Yuki
    Is the naughty boy requesting major
    changes this far into the process?
[03:55] Riku
    I-In that case, what about playing cards?
[03:57] Yuki
    The theme is love.
    We're designing around love.
[04:01] Riku
    W-Well, it's just hard to picture
     what love looks like...
[04:04] Yuki
    As if I'm not facing the same problem?
[04:07] Momo
    Yuki, quit intimidating the juniors...
SIGN    Lesson Room
[04:15] Gaku
    Think the demo will be done soon?
[04:17] Tenn
    Doing this in one night isn't easy.
[04:20] Ryu
    Should we ask about the song's
    tempo, or even just the feel?
[04:28] Ryu
    It's Momo-san.
[04:30] Ryu
    He says the tempo is about the
    same as "RESTART POiNTER."
[04:33] Gaku
    Tenn, try dancing at that tempo.
[04:36] Tenn
    Got it.
[04:37] Gaku
    Talala ta-lala, ta-lala, ta-lala...
[04:44] Ryu
    Wait!
[04:47] Ryu
    He says it's actually more
    like "Heavenly Visitor."
[04:49] Gaku
    That's way faster. Tenn, again.
[04:54] Tenn
    Okay.

[05:31] Mitsuki
    Hey, that's good.
[05:34] Tamaki
    You don't think it's too little?
    Should I add something?
[05:37] Tamaki
    I want people to like it.
[05:40] Tamaki
    I guess that's hard, though.
[05:44] Mitsuki
    Tamaki...
[05:46] Tamaki
    The other day, some guy I don't know
[05:48] Tamaki
    said I'm not fun anymore
    because I'm too goody-goody.
[05:52] Tamaki
    Mikki, you're always trying
    to make fans happy.
[05:56] Mitsuki
    Yeah.
[05:57] Tamaki
    Before, I thought that just made you kind,
     or a good guy, or whatever...
[06:03] Tamaki
    But I guess I realized it
    actually takes a lot of effort.
[06:14] Tamaki
    Now I know it takes a lot of guts.
    That you're really strong.
[06:19] Tamaki
    You've gotta be a good boy,
    plus you've gotta be funny, too...
[06:25] Tamaki
    But I don't think you're
    annoying or a pain in the butt,
[06:28] Tamaki
    probably because I wanna be like that, too.
[06:31] Mitsuki
    You can be.
[06:32] Tamaki
    Really?
[06:33] Mitsuki
    Of course. Tamaki, you've
    turned into a great guy.
[06:38] Mitsuki
    You used to be a selfish monster.
[06:41] Tamaki
    I got a compliment.
[06:42] Mitsuki
    I wish I could cover your ears so you
    wouldn't have to hear mean voices.
[06:47] Mitsuki
    But they won't beat you.
[06:49] Mitsuki
    I know you're strong. Right?
[06:52] Tamaki
    Yeah...

    Come on, come on, come on,

    Come on, signal!
[07:07] Yamato
    Quit slacking off.
[07:09] Nagi
    What's that?
[07:10] Yamato
    I found it in the back of a shelf.
[07:17] Yamato
    I know I shouldn't be saying this,
    but it's not good to keep secrets.
[07:23] Yamato
    I felt better after telling you guys.
[07:26] Yamato
    If something's bothering you,
    you can talk to us any—
[07:31] Yamato
    Hey!
[07:32] Nagi
    I've captured a rare Yamato.
[07:35] Nagi
    I must send this to everyone.
[07:37] Nagi
    That's odd. It's coming out as otaku numbers.
SIGN    Captured ONE rare photo
[07:41] Yamato
    Oh, those are called "daiji."
[07:44] Yamato
    They use those numbers on contracts
    so they can't be changed easily.
[07:47] Nagi
    Oh, right.
[07:49] Yamato
    By the way, the "roku"—six—in Rokuya is...
[07:53] Yamato
    This.
[07:55] Nagi
    Oh...

    What's up?
[07:57] Nagi
    What a marvelous discovery.
[08:00] Nagi
    We will continue to be
    perfect, even in the future.
[08:05] Yamato
    What are you talking about?
[08:06] Yamato
    You're so weird.
[08:17] Sogo
    Excuse me...
[08:20] Yuki
    I'm not listening to any more change requests—
[08:22] Yuki
    Huh? It's you, Sogo-kun.
[08:24] Sogo
    Would you like some tea?
[08:27] Yuki
    Thank you.
[08:43] Yuki
    Sogo-kun?
[08:48] Sogo
    Um, would it be all right if
     I watched you work for a bit?
[08:52] Yuki
    What?
[08:53] Sogo
    I'm curious how you write songs. That's all.
[08:56] Yuki
    Ah. Your uncle was a songwriter, right? Sure.
[09:02] Sogo
    Thank you.
[09:04] Yuki
    You should compose music, too.
[09:07] Sogo
    What?
[09:08] Yuki
    Sakura Haruki's songs are
    limited, aren't they?
[09:11] Yuki
    If you want IDOLiSH7 to continue
    forever, why don't you try it?
[09:14] Sogo
    I don't have the talent.
[09:17] Yuki
    Love is the greatest
    talent a person can have.
[09:20] Yuki
    When you love something, you can
     do it like a man possessed.
[09:24] Yuki
    Endless passion is talent.
[09:28] Sogo
    You think it would go well?
[09:30] Yuki
    Absolutely not. But it will bring
    you sights you've never seen.
[09:36] Yuki
    Nothing can replace the
    magnificence of those sights.
[09:39] Yuki
    After all, they're yours and yours alone.
[09:43] Yuki
    You like music, don't you?
[09:47] Sogo
    I do.
[09:49] Yuki
    You don't need any other reason, then.
[09:51] Yuki
    If you like it, then this game
    should be irresistibly fun.

    Have a good evening.
[11:11] Kujo
    Welcome back, Tenn.
[11:12] Tenn
    You're back in Japan.
[11:15] Kujo
    I'm sorry I fell out of touch
    for a while. I was busy.
[11:20] Tenn
    Not at all.
[11:23] (Flashback) Haruka
    I heard Kujo adopted
    you and calls you perfect.
[11:27] (Flashback) Haruka
    Eventually, you'll be forgotten.
[11:31] Tenn
    The other day, I saw a boy I didn't
    recognize outside the house.
[11:35] Tenn
    He seemed to know you, Kujo-san.
[11:37] Kujo
    Ah, that must've been Haruka.
[11:39] Tenn
    Haruka?
[11:40] Kujo
    Isumi Haruka.
[11:41] Kujo
    I was training him around the same
    time as you, using a different method.
[11:47] Tenn
    Are you going to have him
    debut with an agency like Aya?
[11:51] Kujo
    No, he's a failed project.
[11:54] Tenn
    A failed project?
[11:56] Kujo
    Yes. I'm going to sleep for a while.

[12:07] Toma
    Congratulations on being appointed
    president of Tsukumo Productions.
[12:11] Ryo
    Thank you!
[12:14] MINAMI
    Have the people from Hoshikage left?
[12:18] Ryo
    They just came to suggest a partnership.
[12:22] Ryo
    Without Chiba Shizuo,
    Hoshikage has lost its nerve.
[12:27] Ryo
    Minami is already with Hoshikage, and
    Torao will be debuting with them soon.
[12:31] Ryo
    They asked me to produce the two of you.
[12:34] Ryo
    We'll finish things off at Friends Day.
[12:38] Ryo
    First, let's decide who
    will serve as an example.
[12:41] Torao
    Sounds ominous.
[12:44] Ryo
    It'll be a taste of what
    happens when you defy me.
[12:48] Ryo
    We'll take down a hero first so everyone
    immediately loses the will to fight.
[12:54] Ryo
    They'd be the best choice since
    their popularity is exploding,
[12:57] Ryo
    but IDOLiSH7 is too new.
[13:00] Ryo
    It'll be Re:vale or TRIGGER.
[13:02] Ryo
    Who would you prefer as your sacrifice?
[13:05] Toma
    TRIGGER.
[13:06] MINAMI
    Re:vale. Popular figures
    should be removed quickly.
[13:12] Torao
    I'm good with either. Haruka,
    you're the deciding vote.
[13:16] Haruka
    Obviously, it's TRIGGER.
[13:19] Ryo
    Toot-toodle-too! Decision made.
[13:22] Ryo
    Our sacrificial lamb will be... TRIGGER!
[13:30] Anesagi
    I feel like we've lost work recently.
[13:35] Anesagi
    In particular, since the start of this
    month, we've lost commercial work.
[13:40] Sosuke
    We had to turn down jobs due to
    the Last Dimension encore shows.
[13:45] Sosuke
    Get out there and promote them.
[13:46] Anesagi
    Yes, sir.
[13:46] Woman
    Wait, please!
[13:48] Woman
    You can't do that. You need
    to make an appointment.
[13:51] Ryo
    Hey, Yaotome-san. Excuse the intrusion.
[13:53] Ryo
    Thank you for sending me a
    celebratory gift the other day.
[13:56] Ryo
    President Tsukumo, congratulations
    on your appointment.
[13:59] Ryo
    I appreciate all that your predecessor
    and the president before him did for me.
[14:03] Ryo
    I'm glad you feel indebted to them.
[14:05] Ryo
    Let's get right to business, shall we?
[14:07] Ryo
    How much will you sell TRIGGER for?
[14:14] Sosuke
    TRIGGER is our agency's primary talent.
[14:17] Sosuke
    I'm afraid we cannot accept your offer.
[14:23] Ryo
    Even though your agency became
    independent with Tsukumo's backing?
[14:27] Ryo
    Won't people call you
    ungrateful for refusing?
[14:30] Sosuke
    If we comply, people will say we
    crumbled under Tsukumo's pressure.
[14:33] Ryo
    That's precisely what I want.
[14:35] Ryo
    I want to take TRIGGER from
    you so everyone will fear us.
[14:40] Ryo
    You need that fear to do what
    you want in this industry, see.
[14:45] Ryo
    Like, "What?! The Yaotome
    Productions?!" That fear.
[14:50] Ryo
    If they're forced to choose,
    everyone will side with us.
[14:54] Ryo
    And once the Othello discs start
    turning one after another,
[14:57] Ryo
    ultimately everyone will submit to power.
[14:59] Ryo
    Black, black, black, black.
[15:05] Ryo
    Right? So just give TRIGGER to me.
[15:08] Ryo
    Don't worry. I'll take good care of your son.
[15:12] Sosuke
    Anesagi, our guest is leaving.
[15:15] Anesagi
    Y-Yes, sir.
[15:18] Ryo
    Negotiations have broken down, then?
[15:19] Sosuke
    Do I have to say it, brat?!
[15:27] Sosuke
    Excuse me. The exit is over there.
[15:35] Sosuke
    I've heard sinister rumors
    about you from Momo.
[15:38] Sosuke
    You should be careful not to
    get caught up in any scandals.
[15:43] Ryo
    You're friends with Momo, huh?
[15:45] Ryo
    I see. You're part of his
    athletic club as well.
[15:49] Sosuke
    Athletic club?
[15:51] Ryo
    Thanks for the coffee!
     It tasted like muddy water.

[16:08] Both
    Hello, we are Re:vale.
[16:11] Sosuke
    I didn't invite you, Yuki.
[16:12] Yuki
    You're no fun. We were at the gym together.
[16:16] Momo
    We were building our stamina for Friends Day.
[16:19] Sosuke
    I don't care about that.
[16:23] Sosuke
    I invited you here because of Tsukumo.
[16:24] Sosuke
    You're close with him, aren't you?
[16:26] Momo
    I'm not involved with him anymore.
[16:28] Sosuke
    Do the words "athletic club"
     mean anything to you?
[16:31] Sosuke
    Tsukumo mentioned it.
[16:33] Momo
    What?
[16:33] Yuki
    Didn't you recently form
    an athletic club for idols?
[16:36] Momo
    Yeah. We regularly get together
    with friends to play sports.
[16:40] Momo
    It's a bunch of entertainers
    and industry people.
[16:43] Sosuke
    That's it. Do you know why
    Tsukumo pesters you so much?
[16:48] Momo
    No idea.
[16:50] Momo
    He found it funny that I wouldn't
    suck up to him when he bullied me?
[16:52] Sosuke
    No. It's because of the Chiba Salon.
[16:56] Sosuke
    That group was originally
    formed so young actors and
[16:59] Sosuke
    directors could fight back against
    powerful industry people.
[17:03] Sosuke
    Tsukumo mistakenly believes that your
    athletic club is a modern day Chiba Salon.
[17:09] Sosuke
    No, perhaps he's not mistaken.
[17:13] Sosuke
    You're well connected.
[17:15] Sosuke
    Since Re:vale lacks powerful backing,
    you've picked out people you can trust.
[17:19] Momo
    It's just a plain old group.
[17:22] Momo
    He shouldn't need to keep
    an eye on us yet, but...
[17:25] Momo
    If that's what Ryo-san believes, then
    your Ryu-chan could be in danger.
[17:30] Sosuke
    You invited him to join your club?
[17:31] Momo
    I did. I even made him an organizer.
[17:34] Sosuke
    You shouldn't have done that.
[17:35] Momo
    But Ryu-chan's so considerate.
[17:40] Sosuke
    Never mind. Tsukumo Productions doesn't
    have the power it used to have.
[17:44] Sosuke
    Considering Yaotome Productions and
    TRIGGER's current momentum,
[17:47] Sosuke
    we should be able to fight back.
[17:49] Sosuke
    I'll take this opportunity to
    break things off with them.
[17:52] Momo
    You'll get burned if you assume
    they're the same old Tsukumo.
[17:55] Momo
    Despite how he seems, Ryo-san is sharp.
[17:57] Sosuke
    He's just an arrogant kid.
[18:00] Sosuke
    If it comes to it, you can turn your
    athletic club into an actual Chiba Salon
[18:04] Sosuke
    and fight back against him.
[18:05] Yuki
    Could not talk about Momo's
    friends like they're soldiers?
[18:08] Momo
    Yeah. If you keep thinking selfishly,
    it'll come back to bite you eventually.
[18:14] Momo
    And the people paying for it will be
    TRIGGER and the rest of your talent.
[18:19] Sosuke
    If I demonstrate unshakable power,
    people will kneel at my feet.
[18:24] Sosuke
    So will you, Re:vale.
[18:28] Sosuke
    TRIGGER will surpass Re:vale
[18:30] Sosuke
    and Yaotome Productions will surpass Tsukumo
    Productions to become the best in Japan.
[18:35] Sosuke
    I'm not changing my methods.

[18:43] Nagi

    What?
[19:49] Sumire
    They all yell so much. It's scary.
[19:52] Ryu
    Okay. I can do that.
[19:54] Nagi
    Wipe your tears, my girl.
[19:56] Ryu
    Nagi-kun, what are you doing here?
[19:58] Nagi
    I overheard your conversation.
[20:02] Nagi
    A beautiful girl like you
    shouldn't have to worry.
[20:06] Nagi
    In my home country,
    companies that don't protect
[20:10] Nagi
    the rights of working women
    aren't even allowed to exist.
[20:14] Sumire
    Uh...
[20:15] Nagi
    Your rights should be protected.
    I shall be your agent.
[20:21] Nagi
    Let us head to Tsukumo Productions
    immediately to negotiate with them.
[20:28] Sumire
    N-Nagi-kun, you're going to help me
    negotiate? Not Tsunashi-san?
[20:32] Ryu
    Nagi-kun, you shouldn't go
    in there looking for a fight.
[20:36] Nagi
    Don't worry. I'm capable of conducting
    myself more gracefully than anyone else.
[20:41] Nagi
    I shall not harm her future.
[20:43] Ryu
    I see. You did do a great job
    at that press conference.
[20:47] Ryu
    You're good at this type of negotiation.
[20:48] Nagi
    You remember now?
[20:50] Ryu
    Great, I'm relieved. We can
    let Nagi-kun handle the rest.
[20:52] Sumire
    No!
[20:54] Sumire
    It needs to be Tsunashi-san!
[20:57] Ryu
    What?
[20:58] Nagi
    Why?! Why is that?
[21:00] Sumire
    In any case, I'm calling my manager.
[21:03] Sumire
    Could you speak with them?
[21:09] Ryu
    Oh, nice to meet you.
     I'm Tsunashi of TRIGGER.
[21:14] Ryu
    Yes.
[21:16] Ryu
    Yes, Hanamaki-san says she'd like to
    discuss quitting your agency with...
[21:22] Ryu
    What?
[21:23] Ryu
    No, that's not what I...
[21:26] Ryu
    Wait, what?!
[21:28] Ryu
    Hello? Hello?!

     Call Ended
[21:35] Ryu
    Hanamaki-san, they'll release

[21:38] Ryu
    They said Yaotome Productions
    is responsible for you now.
[21:42] Sumire
    Tsunashi-san, I owe you one!
    Thank you so much!
[21:47] Ryu
    Wait, Hanamaki-san?
[21:57] Ryu
    Did that seem odd to you?
[21:59] Thor
    Nagi-san, I've been looking for you.
[22:05] Thor
    You said you'd meet me in Akihabara.
[22:08] Thor
    You lost me on purpose, didn't you?
[22:12] Ryu
    An acquaintance of yours?
[22:14] Nagi
    Yes, a troublesome one.
[22:17] Thor
    Come, Nagi-san. As promised,
    take me to your dorm.
