[00:04] Ryo     That was ages ago, though. [00:05] Sosuke     Tsukumo-san, isn't it about     time you laid down your arms? [00:11] Sosuke     I'm begging you. [00:11] Ryo     Oh?! [00:12] Ryo     Even you'll bow your head to people, huh? [00:15] Ryo     Mind if I take a pic? [00:17] Ryo     Huh? It's too dark. [00:18] Ryo     Why's it so dark? Oh, 'cause it's night? [00:20] Ryo     Well, there's no point in doing that. [00:22] Ryo     I told you, I want you to sell TRIGGER to me. [00:25] Sosuke     Why? Do you want to produce TRIGGER? [00:29] Ryo     It's not that I want to produce them. [00:31] Ryo     I want something concrete to      make everyone fear me [00:33] Ryo     so I have an easier time conducting     business in the future. [00:37] Ryo     But after everything I've done to them, [00:40] Ryo     even if they joined our agency, [00:41] Ryo     I'd probably just keep 'em on      the payroll with nothing to do. [00:43] Sosuke     What are you trying to accomplish     in the entertainment industry? [00:47] Ryo     I'm selling dreams, of course! [00:52] Ryo     If you'll do as I say, I'll put an end to      the TRIGGER bashing and your scandal. [00:59] Ryo     The way things are going, [01:00] Ryo     Yaotome Productions' other clients will     continue having trouble booking jobs. [01:05] Ryo     You have only two choices. [01:08] Ryo     One, give TRIGGER to me     and protect your agency. [01:11] Ryo     Or two, hold on to TRIGGER     and lose everything. [01:16] Ryo     Give it a good, long think, yeah? SIGN    #16 The Angel and the Monster [03:00] Anesagi     Boys! [03:02] Anesagi     I'm so glad you're all right! [03:04] Gaku     Anesagi. [03:05] Tenn     We're sorry for making you worry. [03:08] Ryu     Sorry. I sang our new song by myself. [03:12] Ryu     Next time, let's sing it together. [03:13] Gaku     Of course. [03:15] Gaku     Sorry for making you stand onstage alone. [03:18] Tenn     Thank you for doing our parts for us. [03:21] Tenn     I'm proud to be part of     the same group as you. [03:25] Ryu     Yeah, thanks. [03:28] Tsumugi     Riku-san, that bruise! [03:30] Riku     Uh, um... I just tripped. That's all. [03:34] Tsumugi     Iori-san. [03:36] Tsumugi     This doesn't add up with what you said. [03:37] Tsumugi     Didn't you tell me you wouldn't     do anything dangerous? [03:40] Iori     W-We can discuss this matter later. [03:44] Momo     We couldn't get them there in time. [03:46] Yuki     We have evidence of the kidnapping. [03:48] Yuki     It'll be useful for when     Papa Yaotome sues Tsukumo. [03:51] Momo     If they pass it off as the actions     of a few individual stalkers, [03:54] Momo     it won't reach Ryo-san. [03:57] Momo     I wish we could use our show to protect them, [04:01] Momo     but that would affect our staff. [04:05] Yuki     Why don't we make a modern day Chiba Salon? [04:08] Momo     What? [04:09] Yuki     If we fight back against him one     at a time, he'll just crush us. [04:12] Yuki     But, there must be people who aren't happy     with the way Tsukumo's doing things. [04:17] Yuki     In that case, we should organize. [04:20] Momo     You think we can? [04:22] Yuki     Not me, but you've got a lot of friends. [04:26] Momo     It's a risky game. You     might get dragged into it. [04:30] Yuki     That's fine. [04:32] Yuki     Let's take that risk together. [04:36] Momo     Yuki... [04:37] Okazaki     What was that? [04:39] Okazaki     Why don't you tell me all     about what happened today? [04:44] Anesagi     Sir. [04:45] Anesagi     Are you done talking to President Tsukumo? [04:48] Sosuke     Yeah. [04:54] Sosuke     I'm going to go talk to the director. [04:56] Sosuke     Bring the car around. [04:58] Anesagi     Yes, sir. [05:01] Tsumugi     I'll go get our car, too. [05:04] Okazaki     I'll go, too. [05:06] Momo     I'll drive. [05:07] Momo     Right now, you'd probably drive us      to our deaths in a fit of rage. [05:10] Okazaki     And just who's fault do you think that is? [05:13] Yuki     Sorry, sorry. [05:16] Momo     See you guys later. [05:18] Gaku     Thank you. [05:22] Mitsuki     Are you for real? [05:23] Gaku     What is it? [05:24] Nagi     That wasn't just a piece of     cake, it was the whole thing. [05:25] Tenn     Rokuya Nagi, do you have a minute? [05:29] Tenn     I need to tell you something. [05:32] Tenn     Kujo-san received a living     will from Sakura Haruki. [05:42] Tamaki     A will? Is Haruki dead? [05:46] Sogo     No, a living will is given to     someone before a person's death. [05:50] Tenn     I don't know where Sakura Haruki is. [05:53] Tenn     But since you called yourself his friend,     I thought I should tell you right away. [05:58] Mitsuki     Nagi... [05:59] Nagi     Do you have his contact information? [06:01] Nagi     Give me your phone! [06:03] Gaku     Rokuya! [06:03] Riku     Stop, Nagi! [06:04] Nagi     I'm just going to borrow his phone. [06:07] Nagi     I'm going to contact his adoptive father [06:09] Nagi     and ask how he came to     receive the living will. [06:12] Tenn     I understand how you feel, but... [06:14] Mitsuki     Hey, cut it out! [06:16] Tamaki     Nagicchi, calm down. [06:18] Nagi     I am calm! [06:27] Mitsuki     Nagi... [06:30] Nagi     I'm all right. The rest of you     can calm down, too. [06:35] Yamato     Okay. We're calm. You're calm, too. [06:39] Yamato     We good? [06:43] Yamato     Nagi's been looking for     Sakura Haruki forever. [06:46] Yamato     If you figure anything out,     let us know right away. [06:48] Tenn     I'll check with Kujo-san, I promise. [06:51] Nagi     Ask about his health, too. [06:53] Tenn     I will. [06:54] Tamaki     Are you okay? Want me to carry you? [06:57] Nagi     No, don't touch me. [06:59] Nagi     We don't know for sure      that anything bad happened. [07:02] Nagi     Crying would summon misfortune     and make it reality. [07:09] All     We're sorry... [07:15] Mitsuki     She was super scary. [07:17] Sogo     She sure was. [07:18] Iori     We can't blame her for reprimanding us. [07:21] Iori     Nanase-san even got a bruise on his face. [07:24] Riku     That was my first fight! [07:27] Riku     I saved Tenn-nii. [07:29] Iori     You don't feel any remorse at all, do you?! [07:31] Riku     You dummy, she'll hear you! [07:38] Iori     Nanase-san, you may be pure and honest, [07:42] Iori     but you're no saint. [07:46] Mitsuki     You'll wear yourself out staring     at your phone like that. [07:51] Nagi     Why did Haruki contact Mr. Kujo and not me? [07:58] Nagi     I thought that if I sang Haruki's songs,     he'd notice from wherever he is in the world [08:04] Nagi     and come to see me. [08:09] Nagi     I suppose I was a romantic. [08:12] Riku     How did you meet Haruki-san? [08:14] Riku     He was looking for Zero, right? [08:17] Nagi     I met Haruki through an acquaintance. [08:20] Nagi     I became interested when I heard     there was a Japanese musician [08:25] Nagi     who'd visited Northmeir several times. [08:27] Mitsuki     An acquaintance, as in a school friend? [08:30] Nagi     Someone my father worked with. [08:32] Nagi     But he wouldn't introduce us,      so I got impatient [08:38] Nagi     and went on my own to see Haruki at     the café in the city where he worked. [08:56] Nagi     Where is he? [08:57] Nagi     The pianist from Japan,     the same country Mother's from. [09:00] (Flashback) Haruki     Now, this is a surprise. [09:06] (Flashback) Haruki     I thought you were an angel. [09:09] Nagi     It was the winter I turned thirteen years old. [09:16] (Flashback) Haruki     Why don't you have a seat     instead of just standing there? [09:19] (Flashback) Nagi     Are you Haruki Sakura? [09:21] (Flashback) Haruki     Correct. [09:22] (Flashback) Nagi     You came here from Japan? [09:23] (Flashback) Haruki     Also correct. [09:25] (Flashback) Haruki     Where did an angel like yourself come from? [09:31] (Flashback) Haruki     No matter. [09:32] (Flashback) Haruki     Come on. I'll treat you to a café au lait. [09:35] (Flashback) Nagi     Um... [09:38] (Flashback) Nagi     Can you play Japanese songs? [09:41] (Flashback) Haruki     As many as you'd like. [09:43] (Flashback) Haruki     Songs about flowers, songs about     love, songs about goodbyes. [09:46] (Flashback) Haruki     If I think about Japan as I play,     then they're Japanese songs. [09:50] (Flashback) Haruki     If I think about Northmeir as I play,     then they become Northmeirian songs. [09:53] (Flashback) Nagi     Let me hear them. [09:54] (Flashback) Haruki     Which? [09:55] (Flashback) Nagi     Both. [09:58] (Flashback) Haruki     Sure. [10:00] Nagi     After that, I met Haruki every     time he visited Northmeir. [10:16] (Flashback) Nagi     So, have you found the friend     you were looking for? [10:20] (Flashback) Haruki     No. I don't even know if he's in Northmeir. [10:25] (Flashback) Nagi     Is that a joke? [10:27] (Flashback) Haruki     If I wanted to make a joke,     I'd say something much funnier. [10:31] (Flashback) Nagi     Why are you looking for     your friend in Northmeir? [10:35] (Flashback) Nagi     Were they born here? [10:37] (Flashback) Haruki     Who knows? I don't even know     his name or where he was born. [10:42] (Flashback) Nagi     What? [10:44] (Flashback) Haruki     I never minded that, though. [10:46] (Flashback) Haruki     At least, not until he disappeared. [10:52] (Flashback) Nagi     He disappeared? Like smoke? [10:55] (Flashback) Haruki     Yeah, like I'd awoken from a dream. [10:58] (Flashback) Haruki     It was very troubling, and I was very sad. [11:00] (Flashback) Haruki     I still grieve his disappearance. [11:05] (Flashback) Haruki     He'd said he wanted to go to Northmeir. [11:10] (Flashback) Haruki     The land of northern lights,      bards, and angels. [11:14] (Flashback) Haruki     It's a beautiful place. [11:16] (Flashback) Haruki     Every time I visit, [11:17] (Flashback) Haruki     I fall in love with it. [11:20] (Flashback) Nagi     I thought Japanese people     were more cautious. [11:24] (Flashback) Nagi     I wouldn't expect one to befriend     such a mysterious figure, [11:27] (Flashback) Nagi     let alone travel the world in search of him. [11:29] (Flashback) Haruki     You think I'm foolish? [11:31] (Flashback) Nagi     What you're doing is like searching for     a pearl lost in the desert, isn't it? [11:35] (Flashback) Haruki     But we're friends. [11:37] (Flashback) Haruki     You wouldn't look for     a friend if they went missing? [11:40] (Flashback) Nagi     I'm not sure. [11:42] (Flashback) Haruki     Thank you. [11:45] (Flashback) Haruki     When he disappeared, I decided two things. [11:49] (Flashback) Haruki     First, that I would leave a letter for     my friends if I ever went missing. [11:55] (Flashback) Haruki     And second... [11:59] (Flashback) Haruki     That I wouldn't fear making     friends with mysterious people. [12:06] (Flashback) Haruki     So you and I can become friends, too. [12:09] (Flashback) Haruki     I won't ask you where you're from. [12:11] (Flashback) Haruki     But if you want me to ask, just say so. [12:17] (Flashback) Nagi     Haruki, what... [12:20] (Flashback) Nagi     What did you call your friend     if you didn't know his name? [12:26] (Flashback) Haruki     Zero. [12:28] Nagi     Haruki fell ill around the     time I turned seventeen. [12:33] Nagi     I invited him to my home and told him     to rest, and we spent one year together. [12:41] Nagi     But the year I turned eighteen,     he left before winter came. [12:47] Mitsuki     I wonder if Sakura-san's     still looking for Zero. [12:52] Nagi     Probably. [12:54] Yamato     I'm sure he'll get in touch with you. [12:56] Yamato     You knew each other a long time. [12:58] Yamato     He hasn't forgotten you, either. [13:00] Yamato     Believe in him and wait. [13:03] Nagi     You're right. [13:08] Tamaki     I feel bad for Nagicchi. [13:10] Iori     Indeed. I hope he gets in     touch with Sakura-san soon. [13:14] Haruka     Sakura? As in Sakura Haruki? [13:18] Iori     Isumi-san. [13:19] Tamaki     What are you doing here? [13:21] Haruka     I'm here working, obviously! [13:22] Haruka     Do you guys think you're the only      idols out here, or what?! [13:26] Tamaki     Well, do you know your agency's     president sucks super bad? [13:32] Tamaki     He kidnapped TRIGGER. [13:34] Haruka     I know. I'm the one who called Kujo Tenn. [13:39] Kujo     Students, it's unsafe to     block hallways like that. [13:43] Tamaki     Oh, sorr— [13:46] Tamaki     Give me back Aya, you jerk! [13:46] Haruka     I bet you're mad TRIGGER's on the decline! [13:46] Iori     What did you mean the other day when     you said Nanase-san would make you sad? [13:48] Tamaki     And tell Nagicchi what he wants to know! [13:49] Haruka     Well, it's not over yet! [13:50] Haruka     I'll show you that Kujo Tenn's the real failure! [13:51] Tamaki     You know, about Haruki's will! [13:53] Kujo     Hold on. One at a time. [13:57] Haruka     You must be frustrated, Kujo. [13:59] Haruka     Your precious Kujo Tenn is now     the laughingstock of the world! [14:03] Kujo     Groundless and nonsensical     rumors are fleeting. [14:07] Kujo     This trial will test the boy's worth. [14:10] Kujo     I am proud to call Tenn my son. [14:12] Kujo     I am confident he will overcome it. [14:13] Haruka     He's not overcoming anything, you jerk! [14:17] Haruka     You told me I could surpass Zero! [14:22] Kujo     I was wrong. I apologize. [14:26] Tamaki     I'm next. [14:28] Haruka     I'm still talking! [14:29] Kujo     Ah, right, I should introduce you. [14:31] Kujo     Haruka, this is Aya's biological     older brother, Yotsuba Tamaki-kun. [14:36] Haruka     Acchan's brother? [14:37] Kujo     Tamaki-kun, this is Aya's     boyfriend, Isumi Haruka. [14:42] Tamaki     Her boyfriend?! [14:43] Tamaki     What the hell did you do to Aya?! [14:45] Haruka     Huh?! All we did was have lessons together,     and she fed me disgusting snacks every time. [14:51] Haruka     I don't have the slightest bit of     affection for that terrible cook. [14:54] Tamaki     Say that again, you little— [14:56] Iori     Yotsuba-san, calm down. [14:58] Tamaki     Give me back Aya! [14:59] Kujo     Aya is my daughter according to the law. [15:03] Tamaki     Well, not according to me! [15:05] Tamaki     I could've put up with someone     who would've made her happy. [15:09] Tamaki     But you're different! [15:12] Kujo     Oh? [15:13] Tamaki     Tenn Tenn said you lost your dream, job, [15:17] Tamaki     and friends all at once, and     that he felt sorry for you. [15:20] Tamaki     But that doesn't mean you     can do whatever you want! [15:25] Tamaki     That's what the teachers     at the orphanage said. [15:28] Kujo     Thank you for the lesson on morals. [15:30] Kujo     Are you finished? [15:31] Tamaki     What about Sakura Haruki? [15:33] Tamaki     Do you know where he is? [15:35] Kujo     No. [15:36] Iori     May I ask you something, too? [15:38] Kujo     I feel like I'm operating     a children's counseling hotline. [15:42] Kujo     Go ahead. [15:43] Iori     You received a will, didn't you? [15:45] Iori     Was there anything in it     that might serve as a clue? [15:47] Kujo     It arrived by international mail. [15:49] Kujo     I attempted to return to sender, but it came     back to me due to an unknown address. [15:53] Iori     What country was it sent from? [15:55] Kujo     Japan. That's why I came to Japan. [15:59] Kujo     I thought he was in Northmeir, though. [16:03] Iori     Why? [16:04] Kujo     Because it was Zero's wish [16:06] Kujo     to see the northern lights in Northmeir     where the old songs were born. [16:13] Kujo     It's funny, isn't it? [16:15] Kujo     It wasn't the sun, moon, stars, [16:19] Kujo     or rainbows that the legendary     idol wanted to look up at. [16:24] Kujo     It was the fleeting northern lights. [16:27] Iori     You said something before. [16:30] (Flashback) Iori     Are you going to try to produce Nanase-san? [16:32] (Flashback) Kujo     Of course not. I've suffered     more than enough sadness. [16:37] Iori     Why would Nanase-san make you sad? [16:39] Iori     You call Kujo Tenn your ideal idol. [16:43] Kujo     Because if Tenn is an angel,     then Nanase Riku is a monster. [16:48] Iori     A monster? [16:50] Iori     Why would you call him that? [16:52] Kujo     You'll know if you trace     the path IDOLiSH7 has taken. [16:58] Kujo     And you said you'd create     a legend that would surpass Zero. [17:02] Kujo     You really are just a student. [17:05] Kujo     I'll give you a hint. [17:06] Kujo     What universal subject in advertising     appeals to everyone across all ages? [17:14] Iori     Children, or animals. [17:17] Kujo     Exactly. [17:21] Kujo     Now, figure the rest out for yourself. [17:26] Iori     Wait. [17:28] Kujo     The children's counseling     hotline is now closed. [17:33] Kujo     Goodbye. [17:39] Tamaki     He said Haruki's letter came from Japan. [17:43] Tamaki     It didn't sound like he was lying. [17:46] Nagi     If Haruki's here in Japan,     then he must know about me. [17:51] ---     I ♥ Cocona [17:51] ---     I ♥ Cocona [17:52] Nagi     That would mean he's     chosen not to come see me [17:57] Nagi     even though we're singing his songs. [18:00] Mitsuki     Don't get discouraged. [18:02] Mitsuki     There might be some reason he can't. [18:05] Riku     Me, a monster? [18:07] Iori     What do you suppose he meant? [18:10] Iori     Children and animals... [18:11] Iori     Did he perhaps mean you're a monster     because you can't be controlled? [18:15] Sogo     I wouldn't call it monstrous, [18:17] Sogo     but sometimes during concerts     I feel a kind of awesomeness. [18:21] Iori     Awesomeness? [18:22] Sogo     As though we and the fans are      becoming one, centered around Riku. [18:27] Sogo     There's nothing else like it. [18:31] Riku     Thank you. I love getting hyped     up with our fans at concerts. [18:38] Riku     I bet everyone who stands     onstage feels that way. [18:42] Floor director     Are we getting audio? [18:44] Tenn     Good morning. [18:46] Floor director     O-Oh, good morning. [18:47] Floor director     Sorry, Kujo-kun. There's     been a change in seating. [18:52] Floor director     Could you sit over there this time? [18:56] Tenn     Very well. I look forward     to working with you. [18:59] Banri     Momo-kun. [19:01] Momo     Ban-san. [19:03] Momo     Good morning. [19:04] Banri     Good morning. Re:vale's     working here too, huh? [19:08] Banri     Is it Next Re:vale, or are     you guests on another show? [19:10] Momo     We're guests. [19:12] Momo     It's for Re:va—my and     Yuki-san's fifth anniversary. [19:17] Banri     You don't need to avoid calling     yourself Re:vale in front of me. [19:22] Banri     You and Yuki are Re:vale. [19:25] Banri     You can proudly call yourselves that. [19:26] Momo     But... [19:27] Banri     I even said I was a fan of you guys. [19:30] Banri     You're always being modest     and running away from me, [19:33] Banri     but I've always wanted to talk to you. [19:36] Momo     I... I'm the same way! I've always wanted      to talk to you about all sorts of stuff. [19:42] Banri     Then you can start by not     being so polite all the time. [19:44] Momo     What?! I can't do that! [19:46] Banri     Sure you can. Go on. [19:48] Momo     Okay, then... [19:49] Momo     B-Banri... [19:52] Banri     I didn't say you could drop the honorifics. [19:55] Momo     I'm sorry! [19:56] Momo     I can't believe I made that mistake! [19:59] Banri     I'm just kidding. [20:01] Ryo     Momo! [20:03] Ryo     Good to see you again. [20:07] Banri     Hello, nice to meet you. [20:08] Banri     I'm Takanashi Production's— [20:08] Ryo     Sneak, sneak. [20:10] Ryo     What a cute ponytail! Whose horse are you? [20:14] Ryo     Could I get your business card? [20:15] Momo     Get your hands off him! [20:17] Momo     Come with me. [20:18] Banri     Momo-kun? [20:19] Ryo     Oh, deary, deary, deary me.      Um, excuse me? [20:22] Ryo     Ow, ow, ow. [20:24] Ryo     Where are we— [20:27] Ryo     That was mean. I didn't even get his card. [20:31] Ryo     Oh! Is he part of your athletic club, too? [20:35] Momo     Go ahead and try messing with him. [20:37] Momo     You'll pay for it dearly. [20:38] Ryo     Well, that's too bad. [20:40] Ryo     Since he's so handsome, I thought I'd     scout him to be an idol for our agency. [20:45] Momo     You're lying, aren't you? [20:48] Ryo     What? [20:48] Momo     You're not interested     in idols. You hate idols. [20:53] Ryo     Affection isn't the only source      of interest, you know. [20:57] Ryo     Besides, you're the liars. [21:03] Ryo     Never mind. It doesn't matter. [21:05] Momo     What are you planning to do to     TRIGGER? Why are you doing this— [21:08] Ryo     They're toys! [21:10] Ryo     I'm going to make TRIGGER and     IDOLiSH7 and Re:vale my playthings! [21:16] Ryo     I'll create the ultimate idol team     and have ŹOOĻ stand at its head. [21:21] Ryo     And then, I'll point and laugh at     the sheep who go wild for them. [21:27] Ryo     Doesn't that sound fun? [21:28] Momo     What are you planning?! [21:29] Ryo     Yaotome Productions is sensible. [21:31] Ryo     He won't destroy his own company     for the sake of his son. [21:34] Ryo     Soon, TRIGGER will belong to Tsukumo. [21:41] Sosuke     How's work looking for TRIGGER? [21:43] Anesagi     With all the fuss that's been happening,     they're receiving far fewer offers. [21:47] Anesagi     Our other talent is in the same boat. [21:50] Sosuke     Fine. [21:52] Announcer     TRIGGER's been at the center     of a lot of trouble, SIGN    TRIGGER Scandal: What are people saying around town? [21:55] Announcer     but it seems like it'll take a little     longer before the situation— [21:58] Gaku     Don't watch this crap. [22:00] Gaku     Watching it won't change us or our songs. [22:04] Tenn     The Music Festa is finally tomorrow. [22:07] Tenn     We don't have time to listen to noise. [22:10] Ryu     That brings back memories. [22:11] Ryu     When I saw IDOLiSH7 struggle to sing, [22:14] Ryu     I felt as frustrated as if I were     the one who screwed up. [22:16] Tenn     We can finally sing our new song together. [22:20] Ryu     Yeah. [22:21] Gaku     You're right. [22:23] Anesagi     Boys. [22:24] Tenn     Is it time to go already? [22:26] Anesagi     The president wants to talk to you. [22:29] Anesagi     Come on. [22:31] Sosuke     Look this over and sign it. [22:34] Tenn     Is this... SIGN    Yaotome Productions      Contract Termination Agreement [22:35] Gaku     A contract termination?! [22:37] Ryu     Are you telling us to quit the agency?! [22:40] Sosuke     That's right.
