[00:00] (Flashback) Sogo
    The chairman of the FSC Group is my father.
[00:03] (Flashback) Tamaki
    You finally told us about yourself.
[00:06] (Flashback) Mitsuki
    We just have to become popular enough
    that we're beyond your dad's reach.
[00:10] (Flashback) Tamaki
    I feel like So-chan and I are a real duo now.
[00:13] (Flashback) Tenn
    The Japan Idol Music Awards'
    new artist award.
[00:16] (Flashback) Tenn
    If you win, I'll tell Riku
    what he wants to know.
[00:22] Tsumugi
    I'm off to the meeting.
[00:24] Yamato
    Sure. See you later.
[00:26] Sogo
    We're counting on you.
[00:30] Riku
    Sound Ship's today.
[00:32] Iori
    Nanase-san.
[00:33] Iori
    I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but...
[00:36] Iori
    Please do your best.
[00:39] Riku
    That sounds a lot like pressure to me...
[00:41] Mitsuki
    We wanna brag about how amazing you are.
[00:45] Mitsuki
    Right, Iori?
[00:47] Iori
    Well, you are our center.
[00:51] Sogo
    Relax.
[00:53] Sogo
    It's okay if you make mistakes.
[00:55] Sogo
    Forget the cameras are rolling.
[00:57] Sogo
    Let's have fun in front of the audience.
[00:59] Yamato
    We'll surprise the fans who
    have come to see other artists.
[01:03] Riku
    Yeah!
[01:04] Nagi
    Who's the most popular artist today?
[01:07] Sogo
    TRIGGER, of course.
[01:08] Tamaki
    I bet there will be a lot of
     TRIGGER fans again today.
[01:14] Mitsuki
    Hey.
[01:22] Yamato
    Good morning.
[01:23] Yamato
    Looking forward to today.
[01:25] Ryunosuke
    Yeah. So are we.
[01:30] Riku
    Tenn-nii, I...
[01:34] Gaku
    Why are you standing right in the middle?
[01:37] Riku
    Huh?
[01:38] Gaku
    Isn't it so you can lead
    them to greater heights?
[01:43] Gaku
    You'd better do your best today, center.
[01:49] Iori
    TRIGGER is impressive as always.
[01:50] Iori
    They have the auras of top idols.
[01:52] Riku
    Aura...
[01:53] Tamaki
    You've got one too, Rikkun.
[01:55] Riku
    Huh?
[01:56] Tamaki
    A healing aura.
[01:57] Tamaki
    Can't that be your weapon?
[02:00] Riku
    Tamaki.
[02:02] Tamaki
    Everyone has their own kind of weapon.
SIGN    That Song Once Again
[03:46] Tenn
    "Why are you standing right in the middle?
[03:49] Tenn
    Isn't it so you can lead
    them to greater heights?"
[03:52] Gaku
    Shut up!
[03:54] Ryunosuke
    You must really believe
    in our center to say that.
[03:59] Gaku
    Of course.
[04:01] Tenn
    How can he say that with a straight
     face? Isn't that embarrassing?
[04:06] Ryunosuke
    You're blushing.
[04:08] Tenn
    I am not!
[04:10] Anesagi
    Boys, get ready to leave.
[04:12] Anesagi
    We're canceling our performance.
[04:15] Ryunosuke
    Canceling?
[04:16] Announcer
    We're entering the second
    half of Sound Ship.
[04:19] Announcer
    There's plenty more special performances
    from major artists coming up.
[04:26] Strawberries
    Thank you!
[04:29] Yamato
    Good work.
[04:30] Bob cut
    Yamato-san just spoke to me!
[04:33] Mitsuki
    They're all TRIGGER fans.
[04:35] Iori
    A lot of TRIGGER fans don't like us.
[04:39] Nagi
    Why? How could that be?
[04:41] Iori
    We were previously accused of
    trying to steal their fans.
[04:44] Iori
    It was our fault, though.
[04:46] Yamato
    Yeah, but I doubt they'll all give
    the thumbs down when we perform.
[04:51] Nagi
    I'm scared they'll start booing.
[04:54] Mitsuki
    What's wrong, Riku?
[04:55] Riku
    Nothing. I just noticed TRIGGER isn't coming.
[04:58] Sogo
    Probably in their room
    until the last minute.
[05:00] Riku
    Oh, right.
[05:05] Tsumugi
    Boys, it's nearly time.
[05:07] Yamato
    Shall we go?
[05:08] All
    Yeah!
[05:09] Gaku
    Canceled? But our fans are already here.
[05:12] Gaku
    We can't leave now.
[05:14] Anesagi
    Our president got into a fight
    with the station higher-ups.
[05:16] Anesagi
    He said he wouldn't let TRIGGER perform.
[05:19] Gaku
    What does that mean?
[05:20] Anesagi
    It's a grown-up thing.
[05:21] Anesagi
    You must understand.
[05:22] Tenn
    I can't accept this.
[05:24] Tenn
    Our fans are here to see us.
[05:27] Tenn
    We can't disappoint them because
    of our own circumstances.
[05:30] Anesagi
    Don't be so naive.
[05:31] Anesagi
    You're products of the agency.
[05:34] Anesagi
    You're used in deals and as secret weapons.
[05:36] Anesagi
    If you have a problem with
    that, go sing on the street.
[05:40] Tenn
    I'm saying if it's a "grown-up thing,"
    they should settle it like grown-ups.
[05:46] Producer
    Excuse me!
[05:47] Producer
    I'm sorry. I heard there was
    a problem with the higher-ups.
[05:51] Anesagi
    We're on our way out right now.
[05:53] Producer
    I'll do what I can to convince them.
[05:55] Producer
    Please wait here until you're on.
[05:57] Producer
    I'm sorry.
[05:58] Anesagi
    You're wasting your time.
[06:00] Gaku
    We'll wait.
[06:01] Anesagi
    Gaku!
[06:03] Gaku
    Sorry, but we're counting on you.
[06:06] Producer
    Thank you.
[06:09] Anesagi
    What do you think you're doing?
[06:12] Gaku
    What do you think you're doing?
[06:14] Gaku
    I'm calling my dad.
[06:15] Anesagi
    Wa—
[06:16] Ryunosuke
    There's no convincing Gaku now.
[06:19] Ryunosuke
    Naturally, we feel the same way.
[06:22] Anesagi
    Do what you like.
[06:26] Announcer
    It's time for the next artist.
[06:29] Announcer
    Overcoming waves of difficulty,
    they've finally made it aboard.
[06:33] Announcer
    An idol group brimming with
    potential, they're IDOLiSH7.
[06:36] Lady announcer
    They'll be singing "GOOD NIGHT AWESOME."
[07:25] Fan A
    I7 is pretty good.
[07:27] Fan B
    The guy with glasses is cool.
[07:29] Fan C
    Hey, that's the Clara Lowell model guy!
[07:36] Woman B
    Th-They're getting a lot of support.
[07:39] Woman A
    I'm so moved. Of course they are.
[07:41] Woman A
    They're all so handsome.
[07:46] Gaku
    Don't be ridiculous!
[07:47] Gaku
    I don't care about your circumstances!
[07:49] Gaku
    The fans in the audience are here to see us!
[07:52] Sosuke
    It's their mistake.
[07:53] Sosuke
    They're responsible for
    refunding the audience.
[07:56] Gaku
    There you go again! Stop talking about money!
[08:00] Gaku
    We want to sing in front
    of that audience tonight!
[08:03] Sosuke
    You just try it.
[08:05] Sosuke
    I have no problem destroying you
    so badly you'll never work again.
[08:09] Sosuke
    Your mother will be disappointed.
[08:12] Sosuke
    Your fans aren't the ones
    who allow you to sing.
[08:16] Sosuke
    It's because of me.
[08:17] Sosuke
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[08:18] Gaku
    Wait!
[08:19] Gaku
    Damn it!
[08:20] Anesagi
    Satisfied?
[08:24] Ryunosuke
    That's too bad.
[08:26] Ryunosuke
    I wanted to see them from up close.
[08:28] Tenn
    This is the opposite of the Music Festa.
[08:30] Tenn
    We're the ones who aren't doing our job.
[08:37] Anesagi
    Where's our apology?
[08:39] Staff
    I'm sorry.
[08:41] Staff
    We're busy with the performance.
[08:43] Anesagi
    Are you ignoring TRIGGER?
[08:45] Anesagi
    What other artist could close the show?
[08:49] Gaku
    Keep acting self-important.
[08:51] Gaku
    Someday our fans will abandon us, too.
[08:56] Staff
    Is there any way you'll perform?
[08:58] Anesagi
    No. No!
[09:01] Staff
    Anesagi-san, please.
[09:04] Riku
    We are IDOLiSH7!
[09:06] Riku
    Thank you!
[09:12] Mitsuki
    That was fun!
[09:14] Tamaki
    Water!
[09:19] Iori
    Nanase-san, you did well today.
[09:22] Riku
    Really?
[09:23] Yamato
    I...
[09:25] Mitsuki
    Yeah. The fans were into it, too.
[09:28] Mitsuki
    It didn't even feel like they
    were all TRIGGER fans.
[09:30] Riku
    I hope so.
[09:32] Riku
    More than half of the audience
    wasn't interested in us.
[09:37] Riku
    But I wanted all of them to have
    fun, so I gave everything I had.
[09:41] Yamato
    I...
[09:42] Nagi
    That feeling reached them.
[09:45] Nagi
    I'm sure it reached us and
    everyone watching on TV.
[09:51] Riku
    I wish Tenn-nii had seen it.
[09:53] Yamato
    I...
[09:55] Tamaki
    Yama-san, that sexy look you have in
    your eyes when you sing is pretty good.
[09:59] Yamato
    Well said, Tama!
[10:03] Tsumugi
    Come in.
[10:05] Staff
    Excuse me.
[10:07] Staff
    I'm sorry, but do you have a minute?
[10:11] Tsumugi
    TRIGGER isn't performing?!
[10:13] Staff
    Our higher-ups got into an
    argument with their agency.
[10:16] Staff
    They're refusing to perform.
[10:17] Yamato
    Wait, right before they're on?
[10:21] Staff
    We're not sure what to do.
[10:23] Staff
    We're asking other artists
    if they can close the show.
[10:28] Tsumugi
    But no one wants to do it.
[10:31] Tsumugi
    Most of the audience
    members are TRIGGER fans.
[10:34] Tsumugi
    You could see their disappointment.
[10:37] Staff
    Is there any way you could do it?
[10:40] Tsumugi
    I'm sorry, but we can't
    risk hurting our talent.
[10:46] Riku
    Let's do it.
[10:47] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[10:47] Riku
    Are you guys okay with that?
[10:49] Sogo
    Yeah. We should help each
    other out when we're in need.
[10:52] Yamato
    And we already experienced a disappointed
    audience at the Music Festa.
[10:55] Tsumugi
    This isn't like that day, though.
[10:58] Tsumugi
    If we're not careful, they might even boo us.
[11:00] Iori
    It's all right.
[11:02] Mitsuki
    Thanks to you, we've grown up strong.
[11:06] Nagi
    Exactly. Let's deliver a dream-like experience
     to the fans who have supported us.
[11:11] Riku
    Manager, believe in us.
[11:14] Tsumugi
    Guys...
[11:17] Tsumugi
    Got it.
[11:19] Tsumugi
    Please get ready.
[11:20] Staff
    Thank you.
[11:27] Announcer
    It seems to be taking some time to prep
     the stage for the final performance.
[11:30] Announcer
    We're terribly sorry, but please
     hang in there a little longer.
[11:33] Fan B
    TRIGGER's the final performance, right?
[11:35] Fan A
    Maybe it's a really amazing performance.
[11:37] Trigger Fan A
    Hurry up, TRIGGER!
[11:39] Trigger Fan B
    TRIGGER!
[11:40] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[11:44] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[11:49] Announcer
    Thank you for waiting.
[11:51] Announcer
    You've stuck with Sound Ship for a while now.
SIGN    Tenn-kun!
[11:54] Announcer
    The artist wrapping up our
    sea voyage is finally ready.
[12:01] Announcer
    Once again, here is IDOLiSH7.
[12:08] Riku
    Good evening again!
[12:10] Woman A
    Huh? I7?
[12:11] Woman B
    Why?
[12:12] Riku
    Something came up, and TRIGGER
    is no longer able to perform.
[12:16] All
    What?!
[12:18] Riku
    So we're performing in—
[12:20] Trigger Fan A
    No!
[12:21] Trigger Fan B
    Put TRIGGER on!
[12:23] Trigger Fan C
    TRIGGER!
[12:25] Riku
    ...in their place!
[12:26] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[12:32] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
SIGN    Yamato
    
SIGN    Notice me
SIGN    Riku
[12:38] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[12:40] Tamaki
    Shut up!
SIGN    Tenn-kun!
[12:45] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun?
[12:48] Tamaki
    We didn't plan to sing, either!
[12:51] Tamaki
    We wanted to see them perform!
[12:53] Tamaki
    They're good role models.
[12:56] Tamaki
    If they can't come, none of us
     can do anything about it.
[12:58] Tamaki
    As long as we're here, let's sing
    TRIGGER's song together and go home.
[13:04] Fan B
    But...
[13:05] Fan A
    That's not what we want.
[13:07] Riku
    TRIGGER fans, we're really...
[13:10] Riku
    We're really, really sorry.
[13:13] Riku
    We're still nothing compared to them,
[13:15] Riku
    but we'll be singing TRIGGER's
    "NATSU shiyouze!"
SIGN    NATSU Shiyouze!
SIGN    Yamato
    
SIGN    Riku
SIGN    I love
    Ryunosuke!!
[13:46] Fan
    TRIGGER!
[13:48] Fan
    TRIGGER!
[13:50] Trigger Fan A
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[13:53] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[14:03] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[14:07] Gaku
    We can hear them all the way from here.
[14:11] Tenn
    They must've announced
    that we're not performing.
[14:14] Tenn
    Ryu, put the TV on.
[14:16] Ryunosuke
    You sure?
[14:17] Tenn
    I don't want to see the
    sad faces of our fans.
[14:20] Tenn
    But we hurt them.
[14:23] Tenn
    We have to accept it.
[14:28] Ryunosuke
    This is...
[14:33] Tenn
    IDOLiSH7.
[14:35] Gaku
    Are they singing our song?
[14:37] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[14:40] High schooler D
    I've had enough! I feel so bad for i7!
[14:43] High schooler C
    Why'd they make them do this?!
[14:45] High schooler A
    Listen to them!
[14:48] AD
    I'm sorry for forcing this role onto you.
[14:52] Tsumugi
    It's fine.
[14:54] AD
    Huh?
[14:54] Tsumugi
    Our idols can sing at full power,
[14:57] Tsumugi
    even if it's to an empty
    venue or while soaking wet.
[15:00] Tsumugi
    I know their feelings, and their
    voices will reach the audience.
[15:05] All
    TRIGGER! TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
[15:09] Trigger Fan A
    He's actually singing it well.
[15:12] Trigger Fan B
    Even though it's a TRIGGER song.
[15:14] Fan C
    They said they're their role models...
[15:19] Fan C
    They look like they're having fun.
[15:21] Riku
    I always wanted to become
    perfect, like Tenn-nii.
[15:26] Riku
    I never came close, though.
[15:28] Riku
    But there are things even I can do.
[15:31] Riku
    Let's go!
[15:32] Trigger Fan F
    I guess this will do.
[15:36] Iori
    This is what makes Nanase-san amazing.
[15:39] Yamato
    Anyone else would've hated the idea.
[15:44] Nagi
    Riku has no malice.
[15:46] Sogo
    He's hardworking and honest.
[15:48] Mitsuki
    It makes you want to support him.
[15:51] Tamaki
    Dancing with him is so fun.
[15:54] Nagi
    Clap your hands! Come on!
[15:56] Tamaki
    Yeah!
[16:06] Mitsuki
    Yeah!
[16:07] Tamaki
    Nice! Get yourselves pumped up!
[16:10] Sogo
    So TRIGGER can hear you!
[16:12] Nagi
    Yes! Pump your love up even higher, hotter!
[16:30] Ryunosuke
    They're singing our song with
    the fans who waited for us.
SIGN    I love TRIGGER
SIGN    Tenn-kun!
[16:39] Ryunosuke
    This is rough.
[16:41] Ryunosuke
    It's hard to watch this.
[16:45] ---
    I've never felt so pathetic in my life.
[16:49] Tenn
    They're doing what we couldn't,
    and they're doing it perfectly.
[16:53] Gaku
    Why aren't we standing up there?!
[16:57] Gaku
    Damn it!
[17:01] ---
    Wow!
[17:01] Riku
    With us now! Ready, and...
[17:09] Tenn
    You've grown stronger, Riku.
[17:27] Sosuke
    IDOLiSH7! They sang TRIGGER's song!
[17:31] Sosuke
    Bring me a new song immediately!
[17:33] Sosuke
    We can't let TRIGGER sing a tainted song!
[17:36] Hyuga
    I-In that case, we can
    use one of my old songs.
[17:39] Hyuga
    If TRIGGER sings the song
    that gave me my big break—
[17:43] Sosuke
    Your old songs are worthless!
[17:45] Sosuke
    The only thing that has value is
    your reputation for writing hits!
[17:48] Sosuke
    Though that should be stripped from you soon.
[17:52] Sosuke
    Your most recent new song was well-received.
[17:55] Sosuke
    I expect you to bring me something in
    the same style, but even higher quality.
[17:58] Hyuga
    The same style?
[18:00] Sosuke
    Don't try and claim you can't.
[18:02] Sosuke
    If you don't bring it to me in three
    days, I'm cutting ties with you.
[18:07] Sosuke
    What is it?
[18:09] Secretary
    The higher-ups of the TV station would like
    to apologize for the Sound Ship incident.
[18:13] Sosuke
    They should've apologized sooner.
[18:17] Hyuga
    The same style...
[18:25] Hyuga
    Damn it!
[18:26] Hyuga
    Where are they?
[18:27] Hyuga
    They must have more!
[18:29] Hyuga
    Damn!
[18:30] Hyuga
    You can't be serious!
[18:32] Hyuga
    No one even knows who they are.
[18:33] Hyuga
    They have no idea how hard I've worked.
[18:38] Sogo
    Excuse us.
SIGN    King Pudding
[18:44] Tamaki
    Nobody's even gonna be here this late.
[18:47] Sogo
    I still want to say it, just in case.
[18:48] Sogo
    Come on. Go get the things you forgot.
[18:50] Tamaki
    Okay.
[18:52] Sogo
    Wait.
[18:54] Sogo
    Someone's here.
[18:55] Tamaki
    Who?
[18:57] Tamaki
    Another burglar?
[19:04] Sogo
    Who's there?!
[19:08] Tamaki
    Watch out!
[19:08] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun!
[19:20] Tsumugi
    Okay. Okay.
[19:22] Tsumugi
    So you're not hurt or anything?
[19:24] Tamaki
    He just whacked me
     a little with a flashlight.
[19:27] Tamaki
    So-chan made it sound worse than it is.
[19:29] Sogo
    Sorry...
[19:30] Mitsuki
    We were so scared.
[19:32] Mitsuki
    Sogo was suddenly yelling for
    an ambulance and bandages.
[19:35] Tamaki
    He actually scared me.
[19:38] (Flashback) Sogo
    How dare you hit Tamaki-kun...
[19:44] (Flashback) Tamaki
    So-chan, wait! Wait!
[19:46] (Flashback) Tamaki
    You'll kill him! You're gonna kill him!
[19:48] Sogo
    I was worried something had happened to you.
[19:51] Sogo
    I was confused.
[19:52] Tamaki
    Can't you be confused less violently?
[19:55] Tamaki
    We're fine. Could you take
    care of things there?
[19:58] Tsumugi
    Got it. Take care.
[20:02] Tsumugi
    What are we going to do with him?
[20:03] Banri
    It seems his agency didn't tell him do it.
[20:05] Banri
    He acted on his own.
[20:08] Hyuga
    N-Not the police...
[20:10] Banri
    We've decided not to file a police report.
[20:13] Banri
    If this story got out, it
    could hurt TRIGGER, too.
[20:17] Tsumugi
    That would be hard for their fans.
[20:20] Banri
    The president said he'd
    go talk to them himself.
[20:24] Banri
    Will he be all right?
[20:27] Otoharu
    The facts are exactly as I've described them.
[20:29] Otoharu
    We don't plan on making an issue out of this.
[20:33] Sosuke
    Did you come all the way
    here to get your song back?
[20:36] Otoharu
    No. I just wanted to tell you something.
[20:42] Otoharu
    You rose in this industry
    based on your talents.
[20:45] Otoharu
    My agency can't compare to how
    massive your production company is.
[20:49] Otoharu
    But haven't you forgotten
    something important?
[20:52] Sosuke
    What are you talking about?
[20:53] Otoharu
    This job is about making people happy.
[20:56] Otoharu
    Your clients, your fans, and
    the people you work with.
[21:01] Otoharu
    If you don't take good care of people,
    someday you'll make a huge mistake.
[21:05] Sosuke
    How ridiculous. People are
    meant to be controlled.
[21:10] Sosuke
    I made it this far by controlling my
    clients, fans, and business partners.
[21:15] Sosuke
    My success proves that I was right.
[21:18] Sosuke
    Take good care of people?
    Don't make me laugh.
[21:21] Sosuke
    You drove your own wife to an early grave!
[21:24] Otoharu
    Musubi lived a full life
    and left me a treasure.
[21:29] Otoharu
    My beloved daughter.
[21:30] Sosuke
    I could've made her happier!
[21:33] Otoharu
    You have a fine son of your own.
[21:37] Otoharu
    I'd take care not to trouble him
     by making more enemies.
[21:42] Sosuke
    Wait, Takanashi!
[21:44] Otoharu
    Oh, excuse me.
[21:46] Gaku
    Ah, no problem.
[21:53] Sosuke
    Now I owe Takanashi a favor.
[21:56] Sosuke
    That idiot composer.
[21:57] Gaku
    Wasn't that the president
    of Takanashi Productions?
[22:00] Sosuke
    What are you doing here?
[22:02] Gaku
    It's about Sound Ship.
[22:04] Gaku
    I demand an explana—
[22:06] Sosuke
    Shut up!
[22:07] Sosuke
    I have nothing to say to you!
[22:09] Sosuke
    Get out!
[22:11] Gaku
    Oh, really?
[22:16] Sosuke
    I'll crush them completely.
[22:18] Sosuke
    Both Takanashi Productions and his daughter.
[22:22] Sosuke
    And IDOLiSH7!
