[00:02] (Flashback) Nagi     I invited them. I'm remodeling the dormitory. [00:07] (Flashback) Nagi     I got the president's permission. [00:10] (Flashback) Sogo     Remodeling? [00:11] (Flashback) Nagi     Yes. We're idols, after all. [00:14] (Flashback) Nagi     We should improve our security     to protect our privacy. [00:18] (Flashback) Nagi     It's nothing major. [00:20] (Flashback) Nagi     I'm just strengthening     the entrance's security. [00:23] (Flashback) Tamaki     This is too sudden to make any sense. [00:25] (Flashback) Tamaki     Nagicchi, are you hiding something, too? [00:30] (Flashback) Sumire     I can't keep working at Tsukumo Productions. [00:32] (Flashback) Sumire     I was told they'd make sure I never     sang again if I joined another agency. [00:35] (Flashback) Sumire     Tsunashi-san, could you join me      in a meeting with my agency? [00:39] (Flashback) Ryu     What? [00:43] (Flashback) Thor     You said you'd meet me in Akihabara. [00:47] (Flashback) Thor     You lost me on purpose, didn't you? [00:50] (Flashback) Ryu     An acquaintance of yours? [00:52] (Flashback) Nagi     Yes, a troublesome one. [00:55] (Flashback) Thor     Come, Nagi-san. As promised,     take me to your dorm. [01:02] Director A     Good work, everyone. [01:04] All     Thank you. [01:04] Staff A     Good work today. [01:05] Gaku     See you guys the day of the show. [01:07] Tsumugi     Good morning. [01:09] Gaku     Tsumugi. [01:11] Tsumugi     Gaku-san, thank you for looking     after IDOLiSH7 at the training camp. [01:15] Gaku     I didn't do anything for them. [01:18] Gaku     Didn't you guys go without sleep     so you could be standing by? [01:21] Gaku     That must've been difficult. [01:22] Tsumugi     Compared to what you all     had to do, it was noth— [01:33] Gaku     Well, I'll see you later, Takanashi-san. [01:36] Tsumugi     All right. Good work today. [01:44] Producer     Takanashi-san. [01:47] Tsumugi     Good morning. [01:48] Producer     I'm glad I ran into you. [01:50] Producer     There's something I wanted     to discuss with you. [01:53] Producer     I was hoping to use TRIGGER's     Yaotome-kun for our new show. [01:58] Producer     Why don't we get dinner with him sometime? [02:01] Tsumugi     What? [02:03] Tsumugi     Um... [02:04] Producer     He actually turned me down once already. [02:09] Producer     You're close with Yaotome-kun, right? [02:12] Producer     I figured I'd get a favorable response     if you talked to him about it. [02:16] Producer     If necessary, I can leave     you two alone together. [02:20] Tsumugi     I'm sorry, but I can't get involved     in another agency's business. [02:26] Producer     I just need you to be there. [02:28] Tsumugi     I cannot. [02:30] Producer     You're rather guarded, aren't you? [02:32] Tsumugi     Anyway, didn't he turn down your offer? [02:36] Tsumugi     Could IDOLiSH7 take you up on it instead? [02:39] Producer     What? [02:41] Producer     Oh, um... Uh... SIGN    #12 Preparing to Take Over [04:31] Mitsuki     Uh... Welcome back. [04:33] Yamato     What's the rush? [04:35] Yamato     Cocona doesn't air today, does it? [04:38] Nagi     Looks like everything is all right. [04:41] Mitsuki     Didn't you go to Akiba today? [04:43] Mitsuki     Could you help me prepare dinner     before you lay out your spoils? [04:55] Yamato     What's their problem? [04:56] Nagi     Don't answer it! [04:58] Mitsuki     Yes? Wow, that's close. [05:02] Thor     Ah, excuse me. [05:06] Thor     Nice to meet you. [05:07] Thor     I am Rokuya Nagi-san's     otaku friend Thorvaldur. [05:10] Mitsuki     Nagi's friend? [05:12] Nagi     Please leave, Thorvaldur. [05:14] Nagi     I already told you that I can't      let you come in here. [05:17] Thor     That's not what you promised me, Nagi-san. [05:20] Mitsuki     Is he really your friend?     Should we call the manager? [05:24] Nagi     It's all right. I'll try talking to him. [05:29] Nagi     Thorvaldur. [05:31] Nagi     I'm not the only one who lives here. [05:35] Nagi     You'd be causing trouble by     suddenly coming in uninvited. [05:38] Thor     I cannot leave until I've confirmed     the security of your residence. [05:42] Mitsuki     Is this...? [05:43] Yamato     Northmeiran? [05:45] Yamato     I guess they really do know each other. [05:48] Nagi     Please go through the appropriate channels! [05:51] Nagi     What you're doing now is no     different from stalking me. [05:53] Thor     Only because you won't     comply with my requests. [05:55] Nagi     That's because— [05:56] Thor     Very well. [05:58] Thor     I shall have to use force. [06:02] Mitsuki     Did you come to an agreement? [06:03] Nagi     Get down! Stay close to me! [06:09] Yamato     A blackout? [06:14] Mitsuki     Nagi?! [06:20] Iori     It won't turn on. [06:22] Tamaki     Is the power out? [06:23] Sogo     If the power were out, the     entrance wouldn't have opened. [06:26] Tamaki     Oh, huh... [06:30] Riku     The door... [06:31] Tamaki     It's broken! [06:32] Tamaki     Did you do something to it, So-chan? [06:34] Sogo     Why are you asking me? [06:39] Iori     Rokuya-san?! [06:42] Tamaki     Who the hell are you?! [06:43] Sogo     Is he the stalker Nagi-kun mentioned before? [06:49] (Flashback) Nagi     I actually have a stalker. [06:54] (Flashback) All     A stalker?! [06:55] (Flashback) Sogo     Th-That's terrible! Have you talked     to the agency or the police? [06:58] (Flashback) Nagi     No need to worry.     That's why we're remodeling. [07:03] (Flashback) Tamaki     Who's stalking you? [07:05] (Flashback) Nagi     Well... [07:07] (Flashback) Nagi     Simply put, they are an inconsistent person. [07:13] (Flashback) Nagi     Sometimes they need me,     and sometimes I get in their way. [07:20] Riku     What's going on... Huh?! [07:22] Nagi     No problem... [07:25] Thor     I apologize for the trouble. [07:27] Thor     As you can see, the security of     your residence is quite poor. [07:32] Thor     Please allow me to install security cameras. [07:37] All     What? [07:47] Thor     So this is authentic miso soup. [07:50] Tamaki     Why are we eating together? [07:52] Mitsuki     He said he's Nagi's friend. [07:54] Sogo     He seemed worried about the dorm's security. [07:57] Riku     Maybe he's not actually a stalker. [08:00] Nagi     Technically he is a stalker, [08:02] Nagi     but he's a different type of stalker     from the one I mentioned the other day. [08:07] Yamato     You sure do have a lot of stalkers. [08:10] Thor     It's all a misunderstanding. [08:11] Thor     I am not stalking Nagi-san. [08:18] Mitsuki     They're all photos of Nagi! [08:20] Tamaki     From when he was a kid, too! [08:22] Riku     He's an experienced stalker! [08:25] Iori     These photos... [08:27] Iori     This looks like a rather luxurious mansion. [08:34] Nagi     Thorvaldur. [08:36] Nagi     How could you drop photos of me on the floor? [08:39] Nagi     It's disrespectful, don't you think? [08:41] Thor     Please forgi— [08:42] Thor     Rather, I'm sorry, Nagi-san. [08:45] Nagi     It's unbefitting for a subject of Northmeir. [08:48] Nagi     The same goes for this disturbance. [08:50] Nagi     Do you believe I'd listen to your     warnings after the situation you caused? [08:52] Yamato     I have no idea what they're saying. [08:54] Sogo     I'd have some idea if it were English. [08:55] Thor     Those are two entirely separate matters. [08:57] Riku     I'm going to call the manager. [08:59] Nagi     Riku. [09:01] Nagi     It's all right now. He's leaving. [09:04] Thor     Thank you for dinner. It was delicious. [09:08] Thor     Excuse me. [09:11] Thor     Nagi-san, your extension     won't last much longer. [09:15] Nagi     Only due to your incompetence. [09:17] Thor     That's painfully true. [09:21] Thor     Goodnight. Pleasant dreams. [09:26] Iori     He came and left like a storm. [09:29] Nagi     A storm would have better manners. [09:43] (Flashback) Mitsuki     If we suddenly vanished, I mean. [09:46] (Flashback) Nagi     Would you look for us? [09:49] (Flashback) Nagi     Would you resent us and     search for our replacements? [09:56] Yamato     Are you sure you're okay? [09:58] Nagi     Oh! I was joking when I called him a stalker. [10:02] Nagi     He's an old friend from Northmeir. [10:04] Nagi     Anyway, I'm going to watch     Cocona DVDs while enjoying [10:08] Nagi     this Cocona figure I bought today. SIGN    Shocking! Birth of a Power Couple?!

[12:23] Girl A     Is it true that Tsunashi Ryunosuke     forced her to transfer? [12:27] Girl B     What? That's awful. [12:27] Sosuke     They think we poached her?!

I'm really sorry. [13:45] Momo     It's my fault this is happening to you. [13:52] Ryu     A modern day Chiba Salon? [13:54] Ryu     And I'm one of its leaders? [13:56] Momo     Ryo-san's confused. [13:58] Momo     He's trying to use his influence     to take over the industry. [14:02] Momo     Any unions could get in his way. [14:05] Tenn     And it was your athletic club that he mistook      for a union—a modern day Chiba Salon. [14:11] Momo     He's convinced that I gathered this friend      group together for that reason. [14:17] Gaku     That doesn't make sense, though. [14:19] Gaku     In that case, he should go     after you instead of Ryu. [14:22] Momo     Exactly. Can you think of anyone     who'd have a grudge against you? [14:27] Ryu     What? No, I can't... [14:31] Tenn     Ryu isn't the type to incur grudges.      What about you, Momo-san?

[14:51] Yuki     Gaku-kun and Tenn-kun, what about you? [14:53] Yuki     Is there any reason Tsukumo     would resent you? [14:59] Tenn     It's unrelated to President Tsukumo, [15:02] Tenn     but a little while ago, I ran into     a boy who was hostile towards me. [15:05] Gaku     What kind of boy? [15:06] Tenn     One of Kujo-san's former projects. [15:09] Yuki     Kujo again. [15:11] Tenn     I haven't seen him since, so I don't      know if it's related to this. [15:15] Momo     I see. [15:16] Yuki     At the very least, it would     be nice if there were someone [15:19] Yuki     who could attest to Ryunosuke-kun     and Hanamaki-san's innocence.

We can't drag them into this! [15:39] Yamato     What are you guys talking about? [15:41] Mitsuki     Drag us into what now? [15:44] Mitsuki     Is this about what's on the news? [15:50] Mitsuki     Seriously?! Tsukumo won't get away with this! [15:53] Yamato     It did seem like Sumire-chan     had been struggling recently. [15:56] Yamato     Maybe they're using her. We don't     know that she wrote that blog post. [16:01] Nagi     They'll pay for using a woman like that. [16:04] Nagi     Let me handle this. [16:06] Nagi     I promise I'll prove your innocence and hers. [16:09] Ryu     Absolutely not. You're a minor.     I can't drag you into this. [16:13] Nagi     A minor? [16:15] Ryu     There's no telling what     people will say or write [16:18] Ryu     about you to damage your credibility. [16:20] Nagi     Please don't explain things to     me like I'm an ignorant child. [16:25] Nagi     Because of the press conference,     I have a clean image. [16:29] Nagi     My testimony should be able to influence     people's impression of the situation. [16:34] Ryu     I'm saying a child shouldn't     get involved in this! [16:38] Nagi     What? [16:39] Gaku     Ryu, shut up! [16:41] Gaku     You're absolutely right. Can we      count on your testimony? [16:43] Nagi     No, I refuse. [16:44] Gaku     Why not?! [16:45] Nagi     I have been deeply offended     by Tsunashi's attitude. [16:49] Gaku     He can help us! Apologize to him! [16:53] Ryu     I don't want his help! [16:54] Nagi     Ha, ha, ha. You heard him. [16:57] Mitsuki     Stop being so cold. TRIGGER's     always helping us out. [17:03] Ryu     You shouldn't rashly agree to help! [17:06] Ryu     You'd cause trouble for everyone else! [17:08] Nagi     Why do you insist on lecturing me? [17:12] Tenn     They're not on the same page. [17:14] Ryu     I don't need your help! [17:16] Ryu     I'd rather go talk to     Tsukumo Productions even if [17:18] Ryu     it means the end of my career     than drag a minor into this! [17:20] Mitsuki     Wait, wait. You can't go to     Tsukumo Productions now. [17:25] Yamato     What about undermining one     of the parties involved? [17:27] All     What? [17:28] Yamato     I'm talking about Sumire-chan. [17:30] Yamato     Having her tell the truth     should solve the problem. [17:33] Nagi     No, I'm opposed to this idea. [17:36] Nagi     A woman must not be exposed to danger. [17:39] Tenn     I agree with Nikaido Yamato. [17:42] Tenn     Anyone who attempts to deceive     others should be held responsible, [17:46] Tenn     whether they're a man or a woman. [17:47] Gaku     Harumph. SIGN    Responsibility [17:48] Gaku     I bet you'd never forgive a cheater. [17:51] Mitsuki     I don't like being tough on girls. [17:54] Mitsuki     I'd rather talk to Tsukumo than upset her. [17:57] Yamato     It'd be better to settle things quietly. [18:00] Yamato     It's all right. No one's going to upset her. [18:04] Mitsuki     I have trouble believing that.     You're terrifying when you're angry. [18:07] Yamato     That's only because you      provoked me like crazy! [18:09] Mitsuki     See? You're mad! [18:12] Nagi     Okay. Let us act separately     according to our beliefs. [18:17] Nagi     Who's going with me to Tsukumo Productions? [18:19] Mitsuki     Me. [18:21] Gaku     I'm with you guys. [18:22] Yamato     Then Kujo and I will go after Sumire-chan. [18:26] Tenn     Got it. [18:27] Mitsuki     Well, only one group has to succeed. [18:30] Mitsuki     Whichever group solves the problem     first will call the other. [18:33] Mitsuki     Break! [18:35] Ryu     Hey, wait!

[20:34] Gaku     I'll avoid talking to you when      we meet in public, too. [20:41] Gaku     I'm sorry I wasn't more considerate of you. [20:45] Tsumugi     Please don't apologize. [20:48] Tsumugi     I was careless. [20:52] Tsumugi     I was glad that you were so friendly to me. [20:55] Tsumugi     I can't believe I caused trouble for     an idol when I work at an agency. [21:00] Tsumugi     I was an idiot. [21:02] Riku     Manager... [21:04] Tsumugi     TRIGGER will always have my support. [21:08] Tsumugi     I hope you'll continue to look after     IDOLiSH7 when we work together on projects. [21:20] Gaku     Sure. [21:25] Gaku     That's all I wanted to discuss. [21:27] Gaku     Nanase, sorry for taking up your time. [21:29] Riku     It's fine. [21:35] Tsumugi     I'm sorry, Riku-san. [21:37] Riku     It's fine. Are you okay? [21:39] Tsumugi     Yes. [21:41] Tsumugi     Shall we leave the room? I wouldn't want anyone      to get the wrong idea about you, either. [21:57] Tsumugi     I wish I'd been born a man instead. [22:13] Commentator     If they actually poach Hanamaki Sumire-san, [22:15] Commentator     this will turn into more than     just a passionate romance. [22:18] Commentator     One of them will probably disappear     from the entertainment industry. [22:22] Ryo     Vanish. Vanish. Let them vanish! [22:26] Ryo     Everything in this world     is a short-lived bubble. [22:29] Ryo     And the moment they burst and disappear... [22:35] Ryo     I'll be there to drink them all down.
