**[00:00] (Flashback) Otoharu**
Your duo name will be "MEZZO"."
**[00:02] (Flashback) Riku**
A web show?
**[00:04] (Flashback) Tsumugi**
It's "IDOLiSH Night With You!"
***SIGN*** Web Show Plan
***SIGN*** ID♥LiSH Night With You!
**[00:07] (Flashback) Woman A**
Isn't it funny?
**[00:09] (Flashback) Woman B**
I like how unpolished it is.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Tsumugi**
Yamato-san got an offer for an acting job!
**[00:13] (Flashback) Yamato**
You're always working so hard.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Mitsuki**
I'm the only one who can make my life fun!
**[00:20] (Flashback) Mitsuki**
Show me, Leader.
**[00:22] (Flashback) Tamaki**
We're starting to get more work as a group.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Riku**
I can't keep up with the comments!
**[00:33] Otoharu**
I think it's about time.
**[00:37] Otoharu**
Banri-kun, gather the boys.
**[00:48] Otoharu**
Izumi Iori-kun.
**[00:50] Iori**
Yes.
**[00:51] Otoharu**
Nikaido Yamato-kun.
**[00:53] Yamato**
Yes.
**[00:54] Otoharu**
Izumi Mitsuki-kun.
**[00:55] Mitsuki**
Yes.
**[00:56] Otoharu**
Yotsuba Tamaki-kun.
**[00:58] Tamaki**
Yeah.
**[00:59] Otoharu**
Osaka Sogo-kun.
**[01:00] Sogo**
Yes.
**[01:01] Otoharu**
Rokuya Nagi-kun.
**[01:03] Nagi**
Yes.
**[01:04] Otoharu**
And finally, Nanase Riku-kun.
**[01:06] Riku**
Yes.
**[01:07] Otoharu**
I know this is sudden, but you're
going to Okinawa next week.
**[01:12] Riku**
O-Okinawa?
**[01:14] Iori**
Why?
**[01:15] Otoharu**
To film the PV for your debut single.
**[01:18] Tamaki**
Debut... single?
**[01:21] Mitsuki**
You mean...
**[01:22] Otoharu**
IDOLiSH7 will begin working
towards its debut!
**[01:28] All**
All right!
***SIGN*** The Direction of Summer
***SIGN*** IDOLiSH7 Business Plan 3
**[03:08] Ogami**
I've reserved a concert hall in the
city for their debut press conference.
***SIGN*** IDOLiSH7 Business Plan 4
**[03:12] Tsumugi**
I'm thinking of setting up
a fan club around then, too.
**[03:15] Ogami**
Their debut song will be a tie-in with
the new drink of a major beverage maker.
**[03:20] Tsumugi**
And it'll be broadcast nationally in
advance of their single going on sale!
**[03:24] Otoharu**
An album tour?
**[03:26] Tsumugi**
As they begin gaining fame,
**[03:27] Tsumugi**
it would be good to keep planning
more events is what Iori-sa—
**[03:31] Tsumugi**
I mean, it's my idea!
**[03:34] Ogami**
Debut single goes on sale!
**[03:36] Tsumugi**
Album goes on sale!
**[03:37] Ogami**
Album tour!
**[03:40] Tsumugi**
How does that plan sound?
**[03:43] Otoharu**
Interesting.
**[03:44] Ogami**
Yes. They're ready to go right now.
**[03:48] Otoharu**
But...
**[03:51] Both**
Yes...
**[03:52] Ogami**
MEZZO" will be exhausted.
**[03:57] Tsumugi**
And that's our schedule.
**[04:00] Sogo**
We'll be fine. We'll do our best.
**[04:02] Tsumugi**
But Sogo-san, I feel like you've lost weight.
**[04:07] Sogo**
I haven't.
**[04:08] Sogo**
And Tamaki-kun's been working really
hard even though he's a student.
**[04:14] Tsumugi**
He's fast asleep.
**[04:16] Sogo**
He's always like that.
**[04:21] Tamaki**
So high...
**[04:23] Tamaki**
I'm scared...
**[04:24] Tsumugi**
He's moaning.
**[04:26] Sogo**
He said he doesn't like flying.
**[04:30] Tsumugi**
Are you sure you're okay with this schedule?
**[04:34] Tsumugi**
If you can't do it...
**[04:35] Sogo**
Don't worry.
**[04:37] Sogo**
Everyone's been working toward this day.
**[04:41] Tsumugi**
What's wrong?
**[04:42] Nagi**
I've never flown in such small seats before.
**[04:45] Mitsuki**
There it is. Things rich people say.
**[04:47] Sogo**
You're right.
**[04:48] Sogo**
It's my first time flying economy, too.
**[04:50] Both**
Huh?
**[04:51] Riku**
You too, Sogo-san?
**[04:53] Nagi**
By the way, when do they serve the champagne?
**[04:57] Mitsuki**
Shut up, rich kids!
**[04:59] Iori**
You're underage.
**[05:00] Yamato**
Champagne, huh?
**[05:02] Yamato**
I'd prefer an ice cold beer.
**[05:08] Sogo**
Nothing. Let's do everything we can.
**[05:11] Tsumugi**
Okay. Thank you.
**[05:18] Mitsuki**
It's Okinawa!
**[06:38] All**
Thank you!
**[06:40] Tsumugi**
Thank you.
**[06:43] Mitsuki**
I'm wiped.
**[06:44] Riku**
Yeah.
**[06:47] Both**
But I'm having so much fun!
**[06:49] Riku**
Mitsuki!
**[06:50] Mitsuki**
Riku!
**[06:52] Both**
We're debuting!
**[06:54] Iori**
Men shouldn't hug each other.
**[06:57] Iori**
It's overbearing.
**[06:59] Tsumugi**
Tomorrow morning, you have a photo shoot
for the CD jacket at the hotel beach.
**[07:03] Yamato**
A photo shoot at a hotel in Okinawa, huh?
**[07:06] Yamato**
Sounds perfect for shekwashas and
beautiful women in swimsuits.
**[07:09] Nagi**
Oh, the seaside.
**[07:11] Nagi**
A paradise that makes even pure maidens
feel like boldly cutting loose.
**[07:18] Nagi**
How many nights will we spend with
the lovers we meet by the sea?
**[07:23] Mitsuki**
One! You'll be eating soki
soba with me all night.
**[07:27] Nagi**
No!
**[07:29] Sogo**
Manager, we're going to head
to our regular recording.
**[07:33] Riku**
Really? You're recording down here, too?
**[07:36] Sogo**
Yeah. When we told our producer about
the PV, he decided to film here in Okinawa.
**[07:43] Tsumugi**
Um, maybe I should go with you...
**[07:46] Sogo**
That's okay. Don't you have
tomorrow to prepare for?
**[07:50] Tsumugi**
Sorry for the imposition.
**[07:54] Yamato**
Hey, isn't that Tsunashi of TRIGGER?
**[08:01] Ryunosuke**
* Let it flow through your body, like*
* you're being showered in kisses.*
**[08:05] ---**
STOP Underage
Drinking!
***SIGN*** Please drink responsibly. Recycle after drinking. Underage drinking is prohibited by law. Alcohol is for persons aged 20 and up.
**[08:07] Ryunosuke**
*Red-hot Thunder Dry.*
**[08:13] All**
So steamy...
**[08:16] Iori**
Tsunashi-san is apparently
the son of a hotel magnate.
**[08:20] Mitsuki**
So he's wealthy, handsome, sexy, and wild.
**[08:25] Iori**
Rokuya-san, you have a rival.
**[08:27] Nagi**
Don't worry.
**[08:29] Nagi**
I'm sexy and elegant. There's no overlap.
**[08:33] Ryunosuke**
P-Please, ma'am.
**[08:35] Riku**
Isn't that...
**[08:37] Yamato**
Speak of the devil.
**[08:39] Madam**
Tsunashi-san, it's an honor to meet you.
**[08:42] Madam**
Would you like to spend the night in my room?
**[08:44] Ryunosuke**
Actually, uh, I have plans to set off
fireworks with my brothers tonight.
**[08:49] Madam**
Oh, my. Why not fire some off in my bed?
**[08:52] Ryunosuke**
W-Wouldn't that start a fire?
**[08:55] Gaku**
Ryu!
**[08:57] Gaku**
Hurry up!
**[08:58] Ryunosuke**
Excuse me!
**[09:02] Ryunosuke**
Sorry. Thanks.
**[09:04] Tenn**
It just goes to show the president
has been promoting you well.
**[09:07] Tenn**
Everyone thinks you're sexy and handsome.
**[09:10] Gaku**
Even though I'm sexier.
**[09:12] Tenn**
I'm sexy, too.
**[09:13] Gaku**
Sure you are.
**[09:15] Ryunosuke**
You two are incredible.
**[09:19] Ryunosuke**
Those boys...
**[09:22] Tsumugi**
H-Hello. Um...
**[09:26] Riku**
Tenn-nii...
**[09:31] Yamato**
We're staying at the same hotel.
**[09:33] Iori**
They completely ignored us.
**[09:35] Tsumugi**
Oh, I doubt it. I'm sure they're just busy.
**[09:41] Gaku**
Was he talking about you
when he said Tenn-nii?
**[09:44] Ryunosuke**
You know him?
**[09:46] Tenn**
Who knows?
**[09:49] Ryunosuke**
They're called MEZZO" now, right?
**[09:52] Gaku**
No, they're IDOLiSH7.
**[09:55] Gaku**
I'm sure they'll debut together soon.
**[10:00] Gaku**
Speaking of, isn't your
dad's hotel throwing
**[10:03] Gaku**
its third anniversary party tonight?
**[10:05] Ryunosuke**
He's my mom's second husband.
**[10:10] Ryunosuke**
We were supposed to perform TRIGGER's
new song at the party, but...
**[10:15] Gaku**
Seems like he's having
trouble with the new song.
**[10:17] Ryunosuke**
The president won't approve anything.
**[10:20] Gaku**
But he's a famous musician who
once dominated the music world.
**[10:24] Tenn**
Anyone can be famous for a generation.
**[10:27] Tenn**
Even us.
**[10:33] Tenn**
What's hard is forever.
**[10:36] Tenn**
To be famous forever, you need a legend.
**[10:40] Gaku**
Like Zero?
**[10:42] Tenn**
Yeah, like Zero.
**[10:52] Director A**
We're ready to go!
**[10:53] Both**
Got it.
**[10:55] AD**
Three, two...
**[10:59] Sogo**
Take us...
**[11:00] Tamaki**
...MEZZO"...
**[11:01] Both**
...and let's run away together!
**[11:03] Tamaki**
Today we're running away with you to...
**[11:07] Sogo**
Okinawa.
***SIGN*** Let's Run Away Together

**[11:12] Narration**
* Today, MEZZO" is eating the fruit*
* parfaits Okinawa is known for.*
**[11:19] Sogo**
Wow, it's so big.
**[11:22] Tamaki**
Whoa.
**[11:24] Narration**
* Their eyes are glittering at the sight*
* of a parfait piled high with fresh fruit.*
**[11:29] Sogo**
This parfait is made with 15 different
types of fruit grown here in Okinawa.
**[11:33] Sogo**
There's mango, dragon—
**[11:36] Sogo**
Dragon fruit, pineapple, papaya,
banana, passion fruit...
**[11:38] Tamaki**
This is so good.
**[11:41] Tamaki**
Hey, I just ate something delicious.
**[11:44] Tamaki**
What was that sour thing?
**[11:47] Sogo**
I wonder.
**[11:49] Sogo**
Huh?
**[11:51] Sogo**
You want me to say today's comment now?
**[11:54] Sogo**
But I haven't eaten anything yet.

**[12:04] Tamaki**
That's it, So-chan.
**[12:06] Tamaki**
You're as sweet as a fruit parfait.
**[12:08] Sogo**
Yeah, but I haven't eaten any yet.

**[12:18] Director A**
Okay, cut!
**[12:20] Director A**
All right.
**[12:21] Director A**
Good work.
**[12:23] Director A**
You two were great.
**[12:25] Sogo**
Thank you.
**[12:27] Sogo**
Come on, Tamaki-kun.
**[12:28] Tamaki**
Thank y—
**[12:30] Sogo**
Hey.
**[12:31] Director A**
It's fine. I'm sure you're
tired from filming your PV.
**[12:35] Director A**
Sorry for piggybacking on your project.
**[12:38] Sogo**
It's fine, really.
**[12:39] Director A**
By the way, I heard TRIGGER's
here filming, too.
**[12:45] Sogo**
We just saw them earlier.
**[12:47] Sogo**
Apparently we're staying at the same hotel.
**[12:49] Director A**
Rumor is they've reserved
the entire top floor.
**[12:53] Director A**
That's TRIGGER for you, I guess.
**[12:57] AD**
Excuse me, sir. Do you have a minute?
**[12:59] Director A**
Whoops. In that case, good work today.
**[13:03] Sogo**
Thank you.
**[13:07] Sogo**
Tamaki-kun, how long are
you going to keep eating?
**[13:09] Tamaki**
I'm eating all of it.
**[13:11] Sogo**
You can't.
**[13:12] Sogo**
They can't clean up while we're still here.
**[13:14] Director B**
Oh, Tamaki-kun!
**[13:16] Director B**
Do you have a second?
**[13:18] Sogo**
Hello.
**[13:20] Director B**
Hello.
**[13:21] Director B**
I heard a rumor that you're looking
for your long lost sister.
**[13:26] Tamaki**
What?
**[13:27] Director B**
Don't be mad.
**[13:29] Director B**
I was hoping you'd let our show help you.
**[13:33] Sogo**
That's—
**[13:34] Tamaki**
Sure.
**[13:35] Sogo**
Tamaki-kun?
**[13:36] Tamaki**
What can you do for me?
**[13:38] Tamaki**
Can you find her?
**[13:40] Sogo**
You can't take jobs without permission!
**[13:43] Sogo**
I'm sorry, but you'll have
to go through the agency.
**[13:46] Sogo**
We need to review your propo—
**[13:47] Tamaki**
I've been on TV a bunch already,
but she still hasn't contacted me!
**[13:52] Tamaki**
If they say they'll help, I'll do anything.
**[13:57] Tamaki**
I'll do it. I'll be on your show.
**[14:00] Director B**
Thank you.
**[14:02] Director B**
It'll be a tearjerker, so you
have that to look forward to.
**[14:05] Director B**
We'll be in touch.
**[14:07] Director B**
Bye.
**[14:10] Sogo**
What are you thinking?
**[14:12] Sogo**
Your family situation could
be turned into a spectacle!
**[14:15] Tamaki**
What's wrong with that?
**[14:17] Tamaki**
I'm doing this so she'll see me.
**[14:21] Tamaki**
You had a normal upbringing
in a normal family.
**[14:23] Tamaki**
You wouldn't understand.
**[14:27] Sogo**
A normal family, huh?
**[14:52] Iori**
Judging by his behavior,
it's clear where he's going.
**[14:55] Nagi**
Yes. A lady's room.
**[14:58] Yamato**
That would be what *you'd* do.
**[15:00] Mitsuki**
There's only one place he'd go.
**[15:05] Iori**
The top floor.
**[15:09] Riku**
Wow.
**[15:10] Riku**
This is amazing.
**[15:21] Nagi**
Why are we stalking him?
**[15:25] Mitsuki**
Because we're worried about our center.
**[15:28] Nagi**
Riku went to see his brother, didn't he?
**[15:31] Nagi**
Won't it be an emotional reunion?
**[15:33] Yamato**
Normally it would be, but Kujo's
scarier than his cute face suggests.
**[15:38] Iori**
If it looks like Kujo-san's harsh
words are giving him an attack,
**[15:41] Iori**
we'll give up and drag him away.
**[15:43] Mitsuki**
Yeah.
**[15:43] Yamato**
Got it.
**[15:44] Nagi**
Okay. We're the rescue rangers!
**[15:49] Nagi**
Oh...
**[15:56] Riku**
Tenn-nii...
**[15:57] Riku**
You're in there, aren't you?
**[16:00] Riku**
If you don't want to open the
door, we can talk like this.
**[16:03] Riku**
Just listen.
**[16:05] Riku**
I'm trying to become an idol.
**[16:08] Riku**
We're going to be debuting soon.
**[16:11] Riku**
We're called IDOLiSH7.
**[16:13] Riku**
I wanted to get closer to you
and learn more about you.
**[16:18] Riku**
That's why I decided to sing.
**[16:22] Riku**
There's still so much I don't know, but...
**[16:27] Riku**
Hey, Tenn-nii.
**[16:29] Riku**
Why did you abandon your family and leave?
**[16:36] Gaku**
Abandoned his family and left?
**[16:37] Iori**
Someone else was inside!
**[16:40] Riku**
Huh?
**[16:40] Riku**
U-Um, I...
**[16:43] Gaku**
You're IDOLiSH7's center.
**[16:45] Riku**
S-Sorry!
**[16:46] Riku**
I-I wasn't expecting anyone
other than Tenn-nii to come out.
**[16:49] Gaku**
Are you Tenn's family?
**[16:52] Riku**
Um...
**[16:54] Gaku**
He never talks about himself.
**[16:57] Gaku**
Well, come in.
**[16:59] Riku**
Wh-What?! Who, me?
**[17:01] Riku**
Now?
**[17:02] Gaku**
Don't be shy.
**[17:03] Riku**
Wha...
**[17:05] Mitsuki**
Wh-What should we do?
**[17:06] Nagi**
Rescue him?
**[17:08] Yamato**
If anything, he seemed to
be reacting positively.
**[17:17] Tenn**
What are you doing?
**[17:18] Iori**
K-Kujo Tenn!
**[17:19] Tenn**
Hey, you're the kid who forgot
to sing at *Music Festa*.
**[17:25] Mitsuki**
Iori!
**[17:26] Mitsuki**
Damn you! How dare you
incapacitate my brother!
**[17:29] Tenn**
What was that, you terrible dancer?
**[17:34] Nagi**
Oh, Mitsuki!
**[17:36] Nagi**
No... he's not responding!
**[17:38] Nagi**
Time for an emergency operation!
**[17:40] Nagi**
Scalpel!
**[17:42] Tenn**
You're playing doctor?
**[17:43] Tenn**
So, what are you doing here?
**[17:46] Tenn**
Spying on us?
**[17:47] Yamato**
N-No, we just happened to be in the area.
**[17:50] Yamato**
We were just on our way back.
**[17:52] Tenn**
Oh, really?
**[17:53] Tenn**
I'm not sure how you just happen
to be on the top floor, though.
**[17:57] Nagi**
Is it okay if we abandon Riku?
**[18:00] Yamato**
I know it's hard, but we have to.
**[18:01] Yamato**
We can't sacrifice anyone else.
**[18:05] Yamato**
Later, Kujo. Goodnight.
**[18:15] Tenn**
There's something I want to tell you.
**[18:17] Tenn**
About that sloppy *Music Festa* and
your attitude as professionals.
**[18:22] Yamato**
Actually, we—
**[18:24] Tenn**
I'll order room service for you.
**[18:27] Tenn**
But in exchange, you'll
sit upright on the floor.
**[18:31] Nagi**
Dead end.
**[18:37] Riku**
We're back!
**[18:38] Riku**
We brought you souvenirs from Okinawa!
**[18:41] Tsumugi**
Did something happen?
**[18:43] Staff**
Actually...
**[18:45] Tsumugi**
What is this?
**[18:53] Yamato**
The place has been ransacked.
**[18:55] Iori**
Seems like a thief.
**[18:57] Tsumugi**
President! Ogami-san!
**[18:58] Otoharu**
Welcome back. Surprised?
**[19:01] Tsumugi**
What is this?
**[19:03] Ogami**
I know you just got back, but could you
check to see if anything's missing?
**[19:09] Ogami**
The police gave us
permission to go inside.
**[19:11] Tsumugi**
Okay!
**[19:12] Riku**
We'll help clean.
**[19:15] Otoharu**
Thanks. We appreciate it.
**[19:17] Sogo**
Was anything stolen?
**[19:20] Ogami**
All the important documents
and valuables seem to be fine.
**[19:23] Tsumugi**
It's not here!
**[19:24] Tsumugi**
I can't find the demo tape
for our debut song!
**[19:28] Otoharu**
The debut song?
**[19:30] Tsumugi**
We still have the data, so it should be fine.
**[19:33] Ogami**
No thief would steal just a song, right?
**[19:37] Otoharu**
No, we can't be sure.
**[19:39] Otoharu**
Their songs are just that valuable.
**[19:44] Otoharu**
I hope nothing bad comes from this.
**[19:50] Ryunosuke**
You really went with a new
direction on our new song.
**[19:55] Gaku**
That's fine.
**[19:56] Gaku**
I'm sure it'll be fun at concerts.
**[20:00] Sosuke**
What's wrong, Tenn?
**[20:03] Tenn**
Hyuga-san, you wrote this song, right?
**[20:07] Hyuga**
O-Of course.
**[20:09] Sosuke**
One day later, and I would've
hired someone else.
**[20:16] Sosuke**
You'll be even busier preparing for
the announcement of your new song.
**[20:19] Sosuke**
We'll erase all mention of IDOLiSH7's
debut with TRIGGER's new song.
**[20:26] Riku**
Thank you, everybody!
**[20:29] Riku**
Our next song will be our last one.
**[20:31] Riku**
Besides, the trains are running today.
***SIGN*** I love I7
**[20:36] Yoshimi**
Riku-kun!
**[20:38] Friend**
You're all so cool!
**[20:40] Riku**
For everyone here gathered today, we'll
perform our new song before it goes on sale.
**[20:45] Fan A**
A new song?
**[20:46] Fan B**
They're singing a new song!
**[20:48] Riku**
I have a feeling this song
will be special for us.
**[20:52] Riku**
We've decided to sing it for our supporters
because we really want you to hear it.
**[20:58] Both**
Thank you!
**[21:00] All**
Thank you!
**[21:02] Tamaki**
No, thank you!
**[21:03] Iori**
Thank you.

Is this TRIGGER's new song?
**[21:16] Passerby B**
It's so cute!
**[21:18] Passerby C**
Isn't this unusual for TRIGGER?
**[21:20] Iori**
Our debut song?
**[21:24] Tsumugi**
Why?
**[21:28] Sogo**
What should we do? Sing another song?
**[21:30] Yamato**
We have to sing the same one.
**[21:32] Mitsuki**
But...
**[21:33] Yamato**
Just for today.
**[21:35] Yamato**
If we're not careful, we may not
be able to sing it after tomorrow.
**[21:40] Riku**
Here's our new song!

They won't get away with this.
