SIGN    Is IDOLiSH7 appropriating Zero's songs?!
[00:01] Girl A
    What? Is i7 using Zero's songs
    without his permission?
[00:05] Girl B
    Isn't that why Zero got mad
    and graffitied those posters?

    Takanashi Productions Special
    Publicity Manager Rokuya Nagi?
[00:13] (Flashback) Nagi
    I shall turn the buzzing media
     into a flock of sheep.
[00:22] (Flashback) ---
    What's going on?
[00:29] Nagi
    Thank you for coming.
[00:32] Nagi
    I am Takanashi Productions'
    Publicity Manager Rokuya Nagi.
[02:14] Reporter A
    A-Aren't you Rokuya Nagi-san of IDOLiSH7?
[02:18] Reporter A
    And now you're a PR manager? Is this a jo—
[02:20] Nagi
    Quiet, please.
[02:22] Nagi
    The other day, we experienced
    a very sad incident.
[02:27] Nagi
    Regrettably, that incident created
    several misunderstandings between us
[02:31] Nagi
    and the rest of the world.
[02:33] Nagi
    Today I'd like to take this opportunity
[02:36] Nagi
    to resolve each and every one
    of those misunderstandings.
[02:41] Nagi
    There will be a Q&A at the end.
[02:44] Nagi
    You may ask your questions then.
[02:49] Mitsuki
    Who is that guy?
[02:51] Iori
    He's accustomed to making speeches.
[02:53] Iori
    Where did he learn to do that?
[02:59] Nagi
    That will be all from me.
[03:01] Nagi
    Now, I will take any questions.
[03:03] All
    Sir!
[03:03] All
    Sir!
[03:04] All
    Sir!
[03:06] Reporter B
    How do you feel about the
    "Haruki the Betrayer" graffiti?
[03:10] Nagi
    I am outraged.
[03:13] Nagi
    Haruki transferred the rights to the songs
     he wrote himself to me out of kindness.
[03:19] Nagi
    He hasn't done a single thing
    to deserve to be labeled a traitor.
[03:24] Nagi
    And of course, neither have we.
[03:26] Reporter C
    Do you have any proof of a formal transfer?
[03:29] Nagi
    There is a transfer of rights contract
    with both my and Haruki's signatures.
[03:34] Nagi
    If necessary, I can present it to you.
[03:36] Reporter A
    You described the incident as "sad."
[03:38] Reporter A
    Don't you think there are people
    who are sad that someone
[03:40] Reporter A
    other than Zero is singing
    Sakura Haruki's songs?
[03:42] Nagi
    Be that as it may, slandering someone
     with graffiti is both childish and a crime.
[03:49] Nagi
    Were a woman to reject
    my invitation to dinner,
[03:52] Nagi
    I certainly would not graffiti
    her home out of sadness.
[03:56] Nagi
    I would improve myself,
     and ask her out again.
[03:59] Nagi
    Though that would require some—
    no, a substantial amount of courage.
[04:06] Iori
    He's good.
[04:07] Iori
    He won over the reporters
    with grace and humor.
[04:11] Riku
    They were all on edge before this started.
[04:14] Tamaki
    Nagicchi's the only one who's mad.
[04:16] Sogo
    Really?
[04:17] Tamaki
    He's pretty mad.
[04:19] Tamaki
    He's not smiling with his eyes.
[04:22] Nagi
    Like everyone here, I have great love
    and respect for him and his work.
[04:29] Nagi
    Also, as Haruki's friend and business
    partner, I have affection for him.
[04:35] Nagi
    Additionally, I don't believe Zero himself
    is responsible for these incidents.
[04:41] Nagi
    There's simply no way that a man so beloved
     by all would do something to hurt others.
[04:47] Nagi
    I hope from the bottom of my heart
     that whoever is behind the graffiti
[04:50] Nagi
    that caused this disturbance
     is apprehended soon,
[04:53] Nagi
    and that Zero's honor is restored.
[04:57] Iori
    Impressive.
[04:59] Iori
    He led the conversation towards blaming
    whoever wrote the graffiti instead of Zero.
[05:02] Yamato
    He gave them the impression that Zero
    isn't on the culprit's side, but ours.
[05:07] Yamato
    This will piss off whoever's responsible.
[05:13] Nagi
    Watch out!
[05:23] Nagi
    Are you all right?
[05:24] Tsumugi
    Yes. Are you?
[05:28] Tsumugi
    Red spray paint?
[05:29] Nagi
    How dare they throw something at a woman...
[05:35] Reporter B
    That's...
[05:36] Reporter C
    Zero!
[05:38] Nagi
    Guards, seize that man immediately!
[05:40] Both
    What? Guards?
[05:42] Both
    Ah, yes, sir!
[05:44] Riku
    Let's go after him, too!
[05:46] Mitsuki
    We'll catch him and beat him to a pulp!
[05:48] Iori
    Wait!
[05:49] Yamato
    We can't let him hit anyone. After them!
[05:51] Sogo
    All right!
[05:53] Woman
    We're currently running a campaign.
[05:55] Woman
    Would you like one?
[05:56] Woman
    Everyone...
[06:02] Pedestrian A
    Is that...
[06:03] Pedestrian B
    Zero?
[06:04] Pedestrian A
    Could it be?
[06:20] Pedestrian C
    Is that really him?
[06:23] Pedestrian D
    No way.
[06:23] All
    Zero! Zero! Zero!
SIGN    It's overflowing!
[06:54] Iori
    This song...
[06:59] Zero
    Give me back my song.
[07:11] Riku
    That's our song.
[07:15] Sogo
    Is that really him?
[07:17] Mitsuki
    No.
[07:18] Yamato
    Huh?
[07:19] Mitsuki
    That's not Zero.
[07:22] Riku
    Mitsuki.
SIGN    Will legendary idol Zero 
    finally return at the inaugural concert?!
[07:44] Okazaki
    Everyone's saying Zero's going to return
    on the final day of the inaugural concert.
[07:49] Okazaki
    Tickets are being sold at high prices.
[07:52] Okazaki
    How awful. It's supposed
    to be Re:vale's concert.
[07:55] Yuki
    It would certainly be interesting if
    Zero made a comeback at our concert.
[08:00] Yuki
    Right, Momo?
[08:01] Momo
    Huh? Yeah. Yeah, it would be.
[08:05] Yuki
    Are you okay?
[08:06] Momo
    Yeah. I think I'll be able to sing today.
[08:09] Momo
    Drinking peach-apple juice seems
     to make my throat better.
[08:13] Momo
    I received a ton of snacks as gifts, too.
[08:16] Momo
    Huh?
[08:18] Yuki
    A letter?
[08:19] Momo
    Can I open it?
[08:21] Okazaki
    I'll do it!
[08:22] Okazaki
    Given the circumstances,
    there's no telling what's inside.
[08:25] Momo
    You're overreacting, Okarin.
[08:27] Okazaki
    It would be terrible if
    either of you were hurt.
[08:33] Yuki
    What is it?
[08:35] Momo
    "If you sing Zero's song at your
    fifth anniversary concert,
[08:39] Momo
    tragedy will befall Zero Arena."
SIGN    If you sing Zero's song at your fifth anniversary  concert, tragedy will befall Zero Arena.
[08:43] Yuki
    It's a threat.
[08:46] Iori
    Apparently Re:vale received
    a threatening letter.
[08:50] Iori
    They're not sure if it's from a Zero fan.
[08:53] Yamato
    Isn't our agency still getting complaints
    about our singing Sakura Haruki's songs?
[08:58] Nagi
    Zero's performance hit us hard.
[09:01] Nagi
    I should have performed my own magic.
[09:04] Mitsuki
    Stop it!
[09:07] Mitsuki
    He's not the real Zero!
[09:11] Iori
    Nii-san...
[09:13] Riku
    You said the same thing then, too.
[09:16] Riku
    Why do you think that?
[09:17] Mitsuki
    I can't say exactly why, but when I met Zero,
[09:23] Mitsuki
    I felt strangely happy, like a spell
    had been cast on me.
[09:28] Yamato
    Just a hunch, then? That's not much of a denial.
[09:31] Nagi
    Why?
[09:33] Nagi
    Intuition is important.
[09:35] Nagi
    Our experience and knowledge subconsciously
    choose the correct answer.
[09:40] Nagi
    When you don't know the answer on a test,
    it's a good idea to rely on your intuition.
[09:45] Tamaki
    Seriously?!
[09:46] Tamaki
    That's odd. I always rely on mine.
[09:49] Iori
    I fill out my answers with certainty
    instead of relying on intuition.
[09:56] Riku
    Who exactly is Zero?
[09:59] Riku
    Why did he suddenly vanish and
     then abruptly reappear again?
[10:02] Iori
    Everyone in Japan is
    wondering the same thing.
SIGN    Wild Show

SIGN    Rash of graffiti incidents!
SIGN    Graffiti on posters around the city...
SIGN    A message to Re:vale? Viral topic on social media
[10:14] Salaryman
    Yeah, I saw him.
SIGN    Shinbashi
[10:15] Salaryman
    That was definitely the real Zero.
[10:18] Sogo
    Everyone's talking about Zero.
[10:20] Yamato
    Hey, it's TRIGGER.
[10:21] Yamato
    Are they headed somewhere?
SIGN    Shiodome
[10:22] Riku
    Turn up the volume.
[10:23] Anesagi
    You're in the way. Move, please.
[10:26] Reporter A
    Do you have any comment
    regarding Zero's return?
[10:29] Reporter B
    How do you feel about the other groups
    performing at the inaugural concert?
[10:34] Tenn
    They're fantastic rivals.
[10:36] Reporter A
    Re:vale and IDOLiSH7 are harming
    Zero's image by covering his song and
[10:41] Reporter A
    singing Sakura Haruki's songs.
[10:44] Gaku
    Have you met Zero?
[10:46] Gaku
    Did Zero tell you that?
[10:47] Ryu
    Hey, don't intimidate them.
[10:50] Reporter A
    A-At the very least, Zero's
    fans aren't happy about it.
[10:54] Reporter A
    Don't you think it's better
    to leave Zero alone?
[10:56] Tenn
    Why?
[10:58] Reporter A
    "Why?"
[10:59] Tenn
    I love Zero.
[11:02] Tenn
    I admire him. I wholeheartedly respect him.
[11:06] Tenn
    But when three modern
    idol groups get together,
[11:10] Tenn
    it's hard to believe we can't surpass him.
[11:18] Riku
    Tenn-nii...
[11:20] Yamato
    He provoked them while smiling like an angel.
[11:24] Iori
    They won't like him for that.
[11:27] Reporter A
    Are you trying to say
    you're better than Zero?
[11:31] Reporter B
    Zero is a legend.
[11:33] Reporter B
    What a rude thing to suggest—
[11:35] Gaku
    I see. Re:vale isn't considered
     legendary yet, and IDOLiSH7 is still new.
[11:41] Gaku
    So you think you have the right to
    speak that rudely about them?
[11:45] Gaku
    Re:vale and IDOLiSH7 are simply doing
    their best to cover Zero's song
[11:49] Gaku
    and sing Sakura Haruki's music.
[11:52] Gaku
    It would be different
    if it were Zero himself,
[11:54] Gaku
    but aren't you embarrassed, trying to lecture
     them when they're doing their best?
[11:58] Reporter B
    We're simply asking if their actions reflect
[12:01] Reporter B
    a flippant attitude towards a past great idol.
[12:04] Gaku
    They respect Zero.
[12:06] Gaku
    That's why they want to get closer
    to him and catch up to him.
[12:09] Gaku
    You think that's disrespectful?
[12:11] Reporter B
    I—
[12:12] Gaku
    We're living in the present, not the past.
[12:15] Gaku
    Don't you want people to
    call this era amazing, too?
[12:21] Ryu
    Gaku, you've gone too far.
[12:23] Ryu
    My apologies. Gaku likes both
    Zero and the other groups.
[12:27] Ryu
    That's why he's upset about
    the current situation.
[12:30] Ryu
    We'll simply do our best to perform
[12:33] Ryu
    alongside Re:vale and IDOLiSH7
    at the inaugural concert.
[12:36] Tenn
    That's right.
[12:37] Tenn
    I don't think graffiti or threatening
    letters are part of an idol's job.
[12:43] Tenn
    All we can give to you is this.
[12:48] Tenn
    Manager, could you put on some music?
[12:50] Anesagi
    What?
[12:51] Gaku
    We don't need it.
[12:52] Ryu
    You want to sing a capella?
[12:53] Tenn
    That's fine with me.
[12:56] Reporter B
    Wh-What are you...
[13:00] Tenn
    It's sooner than we planned,
    but we're debuting our new song.
[13:05] Anesagi
    Hey, wait—
[13:05] Reporter B
    TRIGGER's new song?!
[13:07] Reporter C
    Get us more time!
[13:09] Anesagi
    Well, what can I really do?
[13:10] Anesagi
    It's a good way to promote the song, anyway.
[13:13] Tenn
    We're simply a stimulant.
[13:16] Tenn
    Nothing more, nothing less.
[13:18] Tenn
    But we're supremely exciting.
[13:21] Tenn
    This is TRIGGER's "Last Dimension."
[15:41] Nagi
    Wow, exciting.
[15:44] Sogo
    Impressive as always.
[15:46] Tamaki
    They're so cool.
[15:48] Mitsuki
    Your brother is amazing.
[15:50] Riku
    Yeah. He's so cool...
[15:53] Iori
    Please don't fanboy over him.
[15:56] Yamato
    TRIGGER's good.
[15:58] Yamato
    They've got conviction.
[15:59] Yamato
    They don't hesitate, either.
[16:01] Nagi
    We should follow their lead!
[16:04] Nagi
    Let's be true to ourselves. Joy and joy!
[16:07] Nagi
    Let's enjoy the trouble.
[16:09] Riku
    Yeah, you're right. Let's focus on
    the success of the concert.
[16:14] Mitsuki
    We get to sing on the same
    stage Zero performed on.
[16:16] Mitsuki
    Let's remember how we felt
    when we first heard about that!
[16:20] Mitsuki
    We won't stop until the end.

[16:24] Riku
    Thank you, TRIGGER.
[16:25] Riku
    You motivated us.
[16:29] Iori
    This is convenient for us, too.
[16:32] Riku
    What do you mean?
[16:34] Iori
    A major production company that's both
    wealthy and influential with the media
[16:38] Iori
    will come to the forefront to
    protect those three troublemakers.
[16:42] Iori
    I believe the ruler of that castle
    is a confident perfectionist.
[16:47] Iori
    He believes he can control public opinion.
[16:50] Iori
    And I shall control him.
[16:54] Iori
    I won't let him call us useless again.
[17:02] Sosuke
    Those idiots.
[17:03] Sosuke
    Why would they dive headfirst
    into the Zero scandal?
[17:07] Sosuke
    We can't allow TRIGGER to get
    caught up in this stupid fire.
[17:11] Sosuke
    Anesagi!
[17:12] Anesagi
    Yes, sir.

[17:36] Tsumugi
    It's a list of celebrities with favorable
    opinions on the Zero problem and TRIGGER.
[17:42] Anesagi
    How did you predict the president's strategy?
[17:47] Tsumugi
    Image is vital to both
    entertainers and publicity.
[17:50] Tsumugi
    Using clean talent when you want to
    convey a clean image is standard.
[17:55] Tsumugi
    From among those individuals,
[17:58] Tsumugi
    I chose those most likely to
    support TRIGGER on this matter.
[18:05] Anesagi
    You're a smart girl.
[18:07] Tsumugi
    It was Iori-san's suggestion.
[18:09] Tsumugi
    And those on the list
    favor not only TRIGGER,
[18:11] Tsumugi
    but IDOLiSH7 and Re:vale as well!
[18:13] Okazaki
    Anesagi-san, Takanashi-san.
[18:16] Tsumugi
    Okazaki-san!
[18:18] Okazaki
    If there's anything I can do, I'll help.
[18:20] Okazaki
    These idols are putting
    themselves on the line.
[18:23] Okazaki
    Let's pour our hearts and souls into making
[18:25] Okazaki
    the Zero Arena inaugural concert a success!
[18:28] Anesagi
    Of course.
[18:29] Anesagi
    TRIGGER is high-quality, brand-name goods.
[18:31] Anesagi
    I won't let them get a scratch on them.
[18:33] Tsumugi
    IDOLiSH7 is the ultimate idol group.
[18:36] Tsumugi
    I'll protect them, no matter what!
[18:38] Okazaki
    I'll show you true strength of
    Re:vale, who rose out of nothing.
[18:42] Anesagi
    Well then, let's share a drink.
[18:45] Tsumugi
    Actually, I'm too young for—
[18:47] Anesagi
    Idol managers can't go day drinking.
[18:54] Anesagi
    I meant energy drinks.
[18:56] Tsumugi
    Okay!

[20:38] Nagi
    Hi, girl.
[20:40] Nagi
    Your beautiful eyes drew me to—oh?
[20:44] Nagi
    Oh, no!
[20:46] Tsumugi
    Nagi-san, please stop the flirting for a while.
[20:48] Nagi
    Oh?
[20:49] Tsumugi
    Your elegant image is
    very important right now.
[20:53] Nagi
    Okay.
[20:55] Nagi
    Oh.
[20:56] Tsumugi
    I promise I'll get the Cocona-chan cosplay plan 
    approved for Lovely Night With You, okay?
[21:01] Nagi
    Wow! Exciting!
[21:04] Tsumugi
    Be elegant.
[21:05] Nagi
    Okay, girl.

    Let's enjoy another Monday night together.

    Thanks for coming.

    Thanks for tonight.

    We've missed you.

[22:32] Otoharu
    I'm impressed.
[22:34] Otoharu
    Yaotome-kun knows where and how to advertise.
[22:37] Banri
    The agency has been receiving
    fewer phone calls, too.
[22:40] Banri
    He really saved us this time.
[22:42] Otoharu
    Yeah.
[22:43] Banri
    I still can't forgive him
    for the debut single,
[22:46] Banri
    but my opinion of him has improved some.
[22:49] Otoharu
    Musubi, we'll have to thank him.
[22:53] Otoharu
    Banri-kun, you must be relieved, too.
[22:57] Banri
    We can't have them coming
    to a standstill here.
[23:01] Banri
    I want our boys... and them
    to shine from even greater heights.
[23:06] Otoharu
    You're right.
[23:07] Otoharu
    All that's left is for Momo-kun
    to recover his voice.
[23:26] Yuki
    Could you not enter my greenroom
     without asking me first?
[23:29] Yamato
    Where's Momo-san?
[23:34] Yuki
    He doesn't seem to want to be around me.
[23:37] Yamato
    Even you get depressed
    like the rest of us, huh?
[23:43] Yamato
    I accepted the movie job.
[23:45] Yuki
    I know. I heard from the director.
[23:48] Yuki
    Shizuo-san will be delighted.
[23:53] Yuki
    His dear son is making
    his film debut, after all.
