An offer from Friends Day?
[00:00] SONG
When looking at it from the
future, yes, "now" is hope
[00:02] (Flashback) Tsumugi
That's right.
[00:02] (Flashback) Tsumugi
It's Akebono TV's annual

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.

[00:22] (Flashback) Gaku

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.
[04:55] Gaku
Alive...
[04:58] Gaku

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...
[07:02] Nagi
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on...
[07:05] Nagi
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...
[07:56] Yamato
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.

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.
[11:58] Kujo
I'm exhausted since I just
got back in the country.

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.
[15:55] Ryo
See ya.
[15:57] Sosuke
Anesagi, scatter some salt!
[15:59] Anesagi
What?

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.
[18:40] Nagi
Wow, wonderful!
[18:43] Nagi
Excellent!

[19:08] Sumire
I want to go back to the countryside.

[19:33] Sumire
I can't keep working at Tsukumo Productions.

I was told they'd make sure I never

[19:40] Sumire
I don't know what to do.

That's awful.
[19:43] Sumire

in a meeting with my agency?
[19:48] Ryu
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?

Oh, nice to meet you.
