[00:05] Riku     I finally made it this far,     so why aren't I happy? [00:10] Riku     Maybe it's not my dream anymore. [00:14] Riku     The Zero Arena... [00:16] Riku     Zero, did the same thing happen to you? [00:19] Riku     Did singing stop being your dream? [00:26] Riku     Tenn-nii! [00:27] Tenn     Riku. SIGN    Resolve At Zero [00:32] Mitsuki     Disbanded... [00:36] Mitsuki     I finally got a hold of my dream. [00:39] Mitsuki     I should be happy. [00:41] Mitsuki     So why? [00:44] Mitsuki     Didn't I want to become like Zero? [00:48] Nagi     Mitsuki. [00:51] Mitsuki     Nagi, Sogo. [00:53] Sogo     I unconsciously headed this way. [00:56] Nagi     Me, too. [01:00] Nagi     This was where Iori cried      after Music Festa. [01:04] Nagi     My heart hurt. [01:06] Sogo     You're right. [01:08] Sogo     It was hard, but we believed we'd     manage as long as we were together. [01:13] Mitsuki     You're right. [01:14] Nagi     Can we not go back? [01:20] Nagi     Has what makes us happy and     is important to us changed? [01:26] Iori     I wasn't trying to become an idol at first. [01:30] Iori     I just wanted my brother's     dream to come true. [01:34] Iori     But as I secretly helped manage the group,     I came to like this job and IDOLiSH7. [01:43] Yamato     You're right. [01:45] Yamato     When I nearly left during the audition, [01:48] Yamato     I never imagined that I'd come to love      you guys and singing so much. [01:56] Yamato     So why can't I enjoy it? [02:00] Tamaki     I didn't really care about     popularity or rules. [02:05] Tamaki     After all, I had a goal. [02:08] Tamaki     But seeing the guys work so     hard made me want to try, too. [02:13] Tamaki     When I hurt them, I regretted it     from the bottom of my heart. [02:19] Tamaki     When I saw them being so amazing, I got angry,      then frustrated, but now I admire them. [02:25] Ryunosuke     I know what you mean. [02:26] Tamaki     You guys wouldn't understand. [02:28] Tamaki     You've always been winners. [02:30] Ryunosuke     I'm just posturing. [02:33] Ryunosuke     I'm actually lame, cowardly, and pathetic. [02:37] Ryunosuke     But I don't put up a front for myself. [02:41] Ryunosuke     It's for a moment's dream. [02:44] Ryunosuke     Sometimes I want to come totally clean. [02:48] Ryunosuke     But at the same time, I don't     want anyone to see that weakness. [02:52] Ryunosuke     That's how I feel. [02:54] Tamaki     Why? [02:56] Ryunosuke     It's not that I want to be loved. [02:59] Ryunosuke     I want my singing and dancing to     be loved, as a part of TRIGGER. [03:05] Ryunosuke     Praising me when I fail because they love me. [03:07] Ryunosuke     Disparaging me when I succeed     because they hate me. [03:10] Ryunosuke     I want people to go beyond those feelings,     and love my singing and dancing. [03:14] Ryunosuke     I always hope it'll happen so     I can be proud of this strength [03:18] Ryunosuke     I worked so hard to achieve. [03:24] Riku     Um, what were you doing here? [03:31] Riku     Are you on your way back from work? [03:33] Tenn     Your throat will get cold     if you walk around at night. [03:38] Riku     It's gotten a lot better. [03:40] Riku     I've been getting fewer attacks. [03:43] Tenn     I see. [03:44] Riku     It's too bad TRIGGER didn't     get to perform the other day. [03:49] Riku     Since I sang better than usual,     I wanted you to see it. [03:59] Riku     I wanted to sing like you,     but not just to copy you. [04:05] Riku     Because I couldn't run around outside,     you'd sing and jump around to entertain me. [04:14] Riku     Whenever I saw you smile, I smiled. [04:19] Riku     I wanted you to smile, too. [04:25] Tsumugi     Guys... [04:30] Tsumugi     Gaku-san? [04:32] Gaku     Ah, so you're here, too. [04:39] Gaku     They all want the same thing. [04:43] Gaku     Over there. [04:51] Tsumugi     You guys! [04:53] Gaku     Have you ever seen us perform? [04:57] Tsumugi     Yes. [04:58] Gaku     What did you think? [05:00] Tsumugi     TRIGGER was so cool and perfect. [05:03] Tsumugi     The overwhelming aura you     gave off was fantastic. [05:07] Tsumugi     I felt pure respect and emotion. [05:11] Tsumugi     I thought I was lucky to have     seen something so wonderful, [05:14] Tsumugi     and now I can say that with pride. [05:17] Tsumugi     It's like when you look up at a rainbow. [05:20] Tsumugi     My dream is for IDOLiSH7     to surpass that rainbow. [05:27] Gaku     You... [05:28] Tsumugi     IDOLiSH7 will surpass TRIGGER, so please,     stay within our reach so we can overtake you. [05:36] Gaku     That's quite a thing to say. [05:39] Gaku     We won't lose, either. [05:41] Gaku     We're TRIGGER. [05:43] Gaku     We're ready to meet you. [05:47] Riku     I won't ask why you left us anymore. [05:52] Riku     I lost my personal star, [05:55] Riku     but I gained an incredible rival     that I can brag about to the world. [06:00] Riku     Kujo Tenn, that's you. [06:03] Riku     Sometimes, liking or admiring something     isn't enough to make progress. [06:06] Riku     Some things can't be overcome with kindness. [06:09] Riku     But I want to keep singing! [06:12] Riku     This is my weapon, after all. [06:14] Riku     As long as I have my weapon and my friends,     I want to keep fighting as long as I can! [06:19] Tenn     Riku... [06:21] Riku     I'll run towards you as fast as I can. [06:23] Riku     I'll keep running until     I can't breathe anymore! [06:27] Tenn     Sure. Come at me with all you've got. [06:31] Tenn     I'll forget that I had a brother      who couldn't run. [06:34] Tenn     Nice to meet you, IDOLiSH7's Nanase Riku. [06:42] Riku     Nice to meet you, TRIGGER's Kujo Tenn-san. [06:46] Tenn     Very good. [06:52] Tenn     Bye-bye. [06:57] Riku     Guys... and Manager. [07:00] Tenn     What are you doing? [07:01] Gaku     We happened to pass by. [07:04] Ryunosuke     We came to get you. [07:08] Riku     Why? [07:09] Riku     Wait a minute, did you hear all of that? [07:15] Yamato     As long as we're all here, [07:18] Yamato     why don't we think of ways to beg the     president for forgiveness over some ramen? [07:23] Sogo     I agree. [07:24] Tamaki     I want pork bone broth. [07:26] Nagi     I want bonito broth. [07:28] Tsumugi     I'll secretly expense it. [07:30] Mitsuki     Then I guess we'll have     to go bar hopping again. [07:33] Mitsuki     But won't that put us over our calorie limit? [07:35] Iori     We just have to exercise to make up for it. [07:39] Tamaki     Chashu ramen! [07:40] Mitsuki     With a side of fried rice! [07:42] Iori     Boiled eggs. [07:43] Riku     I want pot stickers! [07:44] Yamato     You can't have pot stickers without beer. [07:47] Sogo     Maybe I'll get a super spicy tantanmen. [08:02] Mitsuki     You think the president will forgive us? [08:05] Yamato     He was pretty mad. [08:08] Nagi     He probably dissolved the      group because he didn't think [08:13] Nagi     we deserved to sing right now. [08:15] Sogo     What does that mean? [08:16] Nagi     I think he just values our songs that much. [08:21] Riku     IDOLiSH7's songs... [08:24] Iori     We never learned who was writing them. [08:27] Nagi     I know. [08:28] Nagi     I know who composed our songs. [08:32] All     What?! [08:33] Nagi     I'm the one who secretly sent IDOLiSH7's     songs to Takanashi Productions. [08:39] Tsumugi     You were?! [08:40] Tamaki     Nagicchi, you wrote them? [08:43] Nagi     No, my friend wrote them. [08:47] Sogo     Your friend? [08:51] Nagi     My friend wrote songs for a certain person. [08:55] Nagi     He came to my country to find that person. [09:00] Nagi     My friend's name is Sakura Haruki. [09:04] Mitsuki     Sakura Haruki? You don't mean... [09:07] Nagi     Yes. The person who wrote Zero's songs. [09:10] Riku     Zero's songs? [09:11] Iori     So we've been singing songs     written by Zero's composer? [09:17] Tamaki     Wow... [09:19] Nagi     Haruki played many, many songs for me. [09:22] Nagi     But Haruki became sick. [09:25] Nagi     I wanted Haruki to get better, but... [09:30] Nagi     Not wanting to inconvenience me,     he left behind a letter and those songs. [09:36] Nagi     His letter asked me to give the songs to     someone who would sing them with care. [09:43] Nagi     I wanted them to be sung by      a Japanese idol like Zero, [09:49] Nagi     but no such idol existed. [09:52] Nagi     So without a word, I sent the songs to     a company president Haruki had praised. [09:56] Tsumugi     He praised my father? [09:59] Nagi     He said he cherished people and songs. [10:02] Nagi     After sending the songs, I wanted to     see what the president looked like, [10:05] Nagi     so I came to Japan. [10:07] Nagi     Then I was suddenly scouted. [10:10] Tamaki     It really was sudden when he scouted us. [10:14] Nagi     I felt it was my destiny. [10:15] Nagi     That's how I became an idol. [10:18] Sogo     The president still doesn't know you     were the one who sent the songs? [10:22] Nagi     Yes. If we tell him we'll sing Haruki's     songs with care, I'm sure he'll forgive us. [10:31] Mitsuki     You're right. [10:33] Nagi     If he won't forgive us,     I'll demand he return them. [10:36] Mitsuki     Don't ruin an emotional moment like that. [10:39] Riku     Let's apologize and ask him to forgive us     for not being happy about being nominated [10:44] Riku     for the New Artist Award. [10:45] Tamaki     Should we practice our happy reactions? [10:49] Iori     That's not what he's angry about. [10:52] Tsumugi     Yes? [10:54] Yamato     Sir! [10:56] Otoharu     Could you come with me? [11:01] Mitsuki     This place... [11:02] Riku     It's where we held our     first street performance. [11:10] Otoharu     Could I get a CD? [11:13] Singer     Yes. Thank you. [11:16] Singer     Here you go. [11:18] Otoharu     You have my support. [11:19] Otoharu     Can I shake your hand? [11:20] Singer     Y-Yes. [11:22] Otoharu     Thank you. [11:27] Otoharu     There are many here who      haven't achieved their [11:29] Otoharu     dreams yet, just like you hadn't. [11:30] Otoharu     All right! [11:32] Otoharu     You're standing on the stage     they'd die to stand on. [11:37] Otoharu     You mustn't forget what a blessing that is. [11:41] All     Yes, sir. [11:43] Otoharu     You should take better care of both     yourselves, and the dream you once had. [11:52] Otoharu     You should pat yourselves on the     back for achieving that dream. [11:57] Otoharu     I'll tell you one more time: you've been     nominated for the New Artist Award. [12:02] Otoharu     How do you feel right now, Nanase Riku-kun? [12:04] Riku     I'm happy. [12:06] Otoharu     Nikaido Yamato-kun. [12:08] Yamato     We've achieved something amazing. [12:11] Otoharu     That's right. You've done something amazing. [12:15] Otoharu     You're doing something so amazing,     it can't be erased by unkind words [12:18] Otoharu     or sad misunderstandings. [12:21] Sogo     Sir. [12:21] Otoharu     You don't have to doubt the hard work     you've been putting in for months now. [12:27] Nagi     Yes. [12:28] Otoharu     I'm proud of you. [12:30] Otoharu     You should be proud of yourselves. [12:32] Tamaki     Yeah. [12:34] Mitsuki     Yes, sir. [12:36] Otoharu     Congratulations. That's     all I have to say to you. [12:42] Yuka     No way... [12:44] Both     IDOLiSH7? [12:49] Tsumugi     Excuse me— [12:51] Riku     Oh, uh... yeah, that's us.

We'll do our best. [13:25] Yamato     We wouldn't want those     HDDs to go to waste. [13:28] Nagi     We'll win the JIMA New Artist Award     for you beautiful young ladies. [13:32] Tamaki     And we'll knock TRIGGER     out at Black or White. [13:36] Sogo     We hope you'll continue supporting us. [13:39] Both     We will! [13:40] Iori     I'm glad. [13:41] Iori     I'm glad we were nominated and     have the support of our fans. [13:46] Iori     I'm glad to be a part of IDOLiSH7. [13:51] Mitsuki     Take care. [13:53] Tsumugi     They seemed so happy. [13:56] Riku     Yeah, but we're the ones     who are really happy. [14:01] Gaku     All right. I'm counting on you, Ryu. [14:03] Ryunosuke     Don't worry. [14:05] Ryunosuke     If it looks like you're going     to hit him, I'll stop you. [14:07] Tenn     I don't care if it turns into a fistfight,     but let me say what I want to say first.

[14:43] Gaku     We threw them a thank you     party with our pocket money. [14:46] Gaku     They're having fun complaining     about you right now. [14:49] Sosuke     Don't get ahead of yourselves!

[21:44] Riku     Strangely, I wasn't nervous. [21:47] Riku     Maybe it's because I feel our*     bonds are stronger than ever. [21:52] Riku     The back of Yamato-san, who always     pulls us along with a carefree grin. [21:58] Riku     The smiling face of Mitsuki,     who always leads the charge, [22:01] Riku     whether we're deeply moved or     crying tears of frustration. [22:06] Riku     The ascertaining gaze of Sogo-san, who     always kindly looks out for everyone. [22:12] Riku     The serious expression of Nagi, [22:14] Riku     who may seem like he's joking around,     but loves us more than anyone else. [22:20] Riku     The powerful steps of Tamaki, who's affable, [22:23] Riku     honest, and pure, despite causing us trouble. [22:28] Riku     The fingers of impudent Iori     were trembling very slightly. [22:33] Riku     As we strive to achieve the same     goal, our hearts become one. [22:39] Riku     No one can beat us now! [23:35] MC     The winner of the 13th annual Japan Idol     Music Awards New Artist Award is... [23:42] MC     IDOLiSH7!
