[01:44] Yamato     So is he actually a murderer,     or something like that? [01:48] Tsumugi     No, he's the protagonist's love interest. [01:51] Sogo     They want me to MC a special on musicals?

[02:06] Nagi     Hi! [02:08] Tsumugi     Recently we've been getting a wider     variety of jobs than ever before. [02:12] Iori     Probably so we can fill in      the hole TRIGGER left. [02:15] Tsumugi     Riku-san, next month you'll have      five commercials to shoot. [02:19] Riku     That many? [02:21] Mitsuki     There aren't that many variety show jobs, [02:23] Mitsuki     so it really does feel like     we're getting TRIGGER's jobs. [02:27] Tsumugi     I'm grateful we're getting more work, but... [02:34] Sogo     Isn't there anything we can do for them? [02:37] Tamaki     Huh? [02:38] Sogo     TRIGGER always helped us. [02:41] Sogo     I'd like to do what I can for them,     given the circumstances. [02:45] Tamaki     You don't usually say stuff like that. [02:47] Sogo     Huh? [02:48] Tamaki     About wanting to help TRIGGER. [02:51] Sogo     Oh. [02:52] Tamaki     Is it 'cause you're a TRIGGER fan? [02:55] Sogo     It's because I couldn't do anything     when my family criticized my uncle. [03:02] Sogo     I didn't have the courage. [03:03] Tamaki     TRIGGER knows that. [03:06] Tamaki     And besides, this isn't     enough to get them down. [03:11] Sogo     I must be worrying about them too much. [03:13] Sogo     I even ended up nagging you because of it. [03:16] Tamaki     You don't like it when people     say bad things about me? [03:20] Sogo     Of course not! [03:21] Sogo     It makes me anxious every time you stop     smiling due to what someone says. [03:26] Sogo     I end up worrying you'll leave. [03:29] Sogo     Sorry. I'm not trying to     restrict your freedom— [03:31] Tamaki     Smack. [03:34] Tamaki     Why would you take back what you said? [03:36] Tamaki     It used to make me mad that you     prioritized your superiors over me. [03:40] Tamaki     I didn't get it 'cause I'm closer to you, y'know? [03:44] Tamaki     But you just want everyone to praise me, [03:47] Tamaki     just like how you wanted     people to praise your uncle. [03:52] Tamaki     Huh? What's wrong? [03:54] Sogo     I'm at a loss for words. [03:57] Tamaki     Huh? [03:59] Sogo     I just realized I've always wanted     the things I like to be...

[08:32] MINAMI     Thank you for having us. [08:35] Mitsuki     Natsume-san, I heard you're     into fortune-telling. [08:38] Mitsuki     What kind of fortunes do you tell? [08:39] MINAMI     All kinds. For example, there's physiognomy. [08:44] Mitsuki     Oh? [08:45] MINAMI     Men with large eyes like yours tend to be     strong-willed and skilled conversationalists. [08:51] Mitsuki     Hey, I like the sound of that. [08:53] MINAMI     That said, they want to see     everything with their own eyes, [08:56] MINAMI     so many of them don't listen to others. [08:59] Mitsuki     Oh... [09:00] Yamato     They've already got their claws out. [09:02] Mitsuki     Y-You think so? [09:05] Mitsuki     Come to think of it, didn't you co-star     with our leader in the movie MISSION? [09:10] Mitsuki     What were things like on set? [09:12] MINAMI     He was unsociable and scary. [09:15] Yamato     C'mon now, that's not true. [09:17] MINAMI     You were scary. [09:19] MINAMI     I thought we'd get along better     since I know your father. [09:24] Mitsuki     Yamato-san was right. [09:27] Mitsuki     I'll just steamroll past the subject. [09:29] Mitsuki     Well then, old man... [09:30] Mitsuki     You'd better fix your rep with them today. [09:32] Yamato     Sorry. Wanna come sit next to me? [09:37] Mitsuki     Oh, right. [09:38] Mitsuki     Mido-san, you've got an impressive resume. [09:40] Mitsuki     You graduated from a top-tier college, [09:42] Mitsuki     and your family runs an     international luxury hotel chain. [09:46] Torao     In terms of total wealth,     my family's got less than Sogo's. [09:50] Torao     My bad. Is that topic hush-hush? [09:52] Sogo     Let's save that discussion for the greenroom. [09:54] Torao     Should we go do that now? [09:57] Mitsuki     Sounds like you two speak the same language. [10:00] Mitsuki     Isumi-kun, aren't you classmates     with Iori and Tamaki? [10:04] Mitsuki     How are things at school? [10:05] Tamaki     He's like Iorin. He's always by himself. [10:08] Iori & Haruka     What?! [10:08] Iori     Who cares about me? [10:08] Haruka     That's none of your business! [10:11] Tamaki     Huh? [10:13] Haruka     I doubt he's got any friends. [10:15] Haruka     His personality sucks. [10:17] Mitsuki     "He" who? [10:18] Haruka     Nanase Riku's older twin brother, Kujo Tenn. [10:21] Riku     Tenn-nii has friends,     and a great personality— [10:23] Mitsuki     You idiot! [10:27] Toma     Seriously? [10:28] Torao     They're nothing alike. [10:32] Toma     So that's why he got so mad. [10:35] Toma     They're family. [10:36] Riku     No! I think of Tenn-nii as my rival. [10:41] Riku     That's why I couldn't understand why     you refused to acknowledge their talent [10:45] Riku     after facing off against Tenn-nii     and TRIGGER at Black or—Ow! [10:48] Mitsuki     You keep saying "Tenn-nii." [10:50] Mitsuki     Now we can't use any of this footage. [10:53] Director     Uh, why don't we take a break? [10:57] Riku     Sorry. SIGN    Lovely Night With You! [11:08] Mitsuki     You want some? [11:08] Iori     Thank you. [11:12] Staff     I did think they looked kind of similar. [11:13] AD A     Is it true that he's his     younger twin brother? [11:15] AD B     I feel like I've heard rumors. [11:21] Toma     You're nothing alike after all. [11:23] Toma     Are you really twins? [11:26] Riku     Please don't tell anyone. [11:27] Toma     You guys are all full of secrets. [11:30] Riku     People would criticize our parents. [11:33] Riku     Once, someone wrote an article making it     sound like they sold us to our agencies. [11:38] Riku     My mom got super depressed about it. [11:41] Mitsuki     Hey, don't tell him that. [11:43] Riku     Oh, sorry. [11:46] Mitsuki     Inumaru, don't tell— [11:47] Toma     I won't tell anyone. [11:51] Toma     Riku. [11:53] Toma     Take good care of your mom. [11:57] Riku     I will. [11:59] Yamato     When were you ever scared of me? [12:02] MINAMI     See? You speak so spitefully. [12:06] MINAMI     I'm timid at heart. [12:08] Yamato     Come on, now. [12:09] Nagi     Remember, smile and be gentle. [12:12] MINAMI     Rokuya-san. [12:14] MINAMI     I've been meaning to tell you, [12:16] MINAMI     you look wonderful when you're     singing "Sakura Message." [12:20] Nagi     Thanks. [12:21] Yamato     Are you a fan of his? [12:22] MINAMI     Oh, no. [12:24] MINAMI     I'm being extremely sarcastic. [12:27] Sogo     Mido-san, please. I haven't made     information about my family public. [12:31] Torao     Sounds like a "you" problem. [12:33] Torao     If you're asking me for     something, try saying please. [12:39] Sogo     Please don't talk about my family. [12:43] Torao     I'll give it some thought. [12:57] SONG     Got It... Say Wassup! [13:00] SONG     Got It... Oh My Goodness! [13:02] SONG     Got It... All the world     must grovel before us!

[13:14] Tamaki     Their dancing is awesome! It's so cool! [13:14] SONG     Go ahead and laugh like mannequins [13:16] Sogo     Yeah. Their song is really good, too! [13:19] SONG     Anytime we're ready to— [13:21] Director     Wait, wait. Stop the cameras. [13:23] Toma     What? [13:25] Director     We're in the middle of the song. [13:27] Haruka     They keep glaring at us.     It puts me in a bad mood. [13:33] Tamaki     What?! Yama-san always     looks like he's glaring! [13:36] Yamato     It's my fault?! [13:37] Director     Could we please ask you     to perform the whole song? [13:44] Yamato     Do you have a second? [13:46] Yamato     Can't you say something to him? [13:48] MINAMI     Can't you ask your members     to apologize to Isumi-san? [13:53] Yamato     What? [13:54] MINAMI     He's apparently hurt by your attitudes. [13:59] Yamato     What? [14:02] Yamato     Could I ask you guys to— [14:04] Tamaki     Nah. [14:04] Nagi     No! [14:05] Iori     Why would we need to do that? [14:06] Yamato     You guys always agree when     it comes to stuff like this. [14:10] Riku     I'm gonna go talk to him. [14:12] Yamato     Hey— Hold on, Riku. [14:15] Riku     Toma-san, you're a good person, right? [14:18] Toma     Don't say crap like that! [14:19] Torao     Are you, though? [14:21] Haruka     Probably. Apparently, he wrote a super     long blog post the day NO_MAD disbanded. [14:26] MINAMI     You keep a blog? [14:29] Toma     What's wrong with keeping a blog?! [14:31] Toma     Yeah, it was long, you jerks! [14:33] Toma     Why'd you come over here, anyway?! [14:36] Sogo     I'm going to go apologize. [14:37] Tamaki     What? [14:38] Sogo     I'm used to this kind of thing. [14:40] Sogo     I'd feel bad for their song     if they didn't sing it. [14:43] Sogo     How could he say he won't sing     earnestly when it's such a good song? [14:48] Sogo     And besides... [14:49] Sogo     I never forget the names of     people I've bowed my head to, [14:53] Sogo     in both a good sense and bad sense. [14:56] Mitsuki     Horrifying. [14:57] Yamato     Wait, he's apologized     to me a bunch of times... [15:01] Tamaki     Ever since he ran into that guy, So-chan's      been acting like someone I don't know. [15:06] Tamaki     I don't like it. [15:12] Sogo     A new song? [15:13] Otoharu     It's called "Dear Butterfly." [15:16] Otoharu     I think it would be perfect     for who you're becoming. [15:19] Tsumugi     Hearing the voices of MEZZO" with this song [15:22] Tsumugi     would surely heal the hearts     of tired and hurt people. [15:26] Tamaki     Let's let Nagicchi listen to it, too. [15:28] Sogo     Good idea. [15:30] Tamaki     Sometimes thinking about     Haruki makes him feel down. [15:35] Tamaki     He might be happy if we tell     him we'll be singing this song. [15:43] Nagi     So, it's called "Dear Butterfly" now. [15:47] Nagi     I heard Haruki perform this in Northmeir. [15:52] Tamaki     Did he say anything about the song? SIGN    I ♥ Cocona SIGN    I ♥ Cocona [15:54] Nagi     He said he wrote it while     imagining the things he liked. [15:57] Sogo     The things he liked? [15:59] Nagi     Yes, the things we love. [16:02] Nagi     Sunny days, anime, white horses. [16:06] Nagi     Lawns bathed in sunlight,     café au lait in the morning. [16:10] Nagi     The many things we love. SIGN    I ♥ Cocona [16:13] Nagi     We feel happy when we're interacting     with the things we like, [16:19] Nagi     and we come to like ourselves when     we linger in those happy moments. [16:22] Tamaki     I'm happy when I'm eating King Pudding! [16:25] Tamaki     Is that what the song's about? [16:28] Nagi     Happiness is simple. [16:30] Nagi     We want people to say yes     to the things we like, [16:33] Nagi     and it hurts us when people say no. [16:38] Nagi     When something we love is rejected,     we fight to defend its honor. [16:44] Nagi     An offhand remark can cause our smiling     friends to take up their weapons. [16:51] Sogo     You might be right. [16:53] Sogo     In my home, the rejection was constant. [16:56] Sogo     My father rejected my uncle and     resented the music he loved, [17:02] Sogo     and I secretly rejected my own     family for being that way. [17:06] Tamaki     Of course you did. [17:07] Tamaki     Anyone would get mad if their     favorite things were rejected. [17:10] Nagi     But if they're the words of a beloved friend, [17:14] Nagi     whether it's rejection or affirmation, you     can make an effort to understand them. [17:17] Nagi     Wasn't that the case for MEZZO"? [17:22] Nagi     You found love in Tamaki's yes and Sogo's no. [17:28] Nagi     By having respect for each other     and making an effort to understand, [17:32] Nagi     you broadened your worlds. [17:35] Sogo     Yeah. [17:36] Tamaki     What the heck? How'd you      turn this around on us? [17:39] Tamaki     We were trying to cheer you up. [17:42] Nagi     No, you did cheer me up. [17:46] Nagi     Sing about the things you love     and tell me about yourself. [17:50] Nagi     Then I'll know who you are     and won't end up hurting you. [17:54] Nagi     That's what Haruki said. [17:57] Nagi     Now I shall take after him     and tell you about me. [18:03] Nagi     I love this song and I love you. [18:06] Tamaki     We'll sing it really carefully     so it reaches Haruki, too. [18:09] Sogo     I'll sing it thoughtfully, too. [18:12] Sogo     I'm not good at raising my voice, [18:15] Sogo     but I also need to make an effort     to tell people what I love. [18:20] Sogo     I realized that I want everyone     to praise the things I like. [18:26] Tamaki     Group hug! [18:31] Tamaki     It's okay. You'll definitely     get to see Haruki. [18:39] Nagi     Thanks, dear friends. [18:48] Sogo     The things I like... [18:51] Sogo     The sights only I can see... [18:57] Tamaki     It's open. [18:59] Sogo     Good evening. [19:00] Sogo     Are you available to talk now? [19:02] Tamaki     Yeah. [19:12] Sogo     I wanted to ask you about— [19:14] Sogo     Actually, I wanted to make a request. [19:16] Tamaki     A request? [19:20] Sogo     Well, if the president says it's okay,     and Nagi-kun says it's okay, [19:20] Tamaki     Okay. [19:24] Tamaki     Okay. [19:26] Tamaki     Okay. [19:27] Sogo     and the other members say it's okay, too... [19:30] Tamaki     Okay... [19:31] Sogo     Then, someday... Well, only if      I do a decent job at it— [19:36] Tamaki     This is a super long intro, man. [19:38] Sogo     S-Sorry. [19:43] Sogo     I want to try writing a song for MEZZO"! [19:45] Tamaki     Huh? [19:46] Sogo     I've never done it before, but... [19:48] Sogo     Oh, you know how we're playing     instruments for Lovely Night? [19:50] Sogo     There's that, too. [19:54] Sogo     I'm not very confident, and it     probably won't be for a while. [19:58] Sogo     But I wanted to get your opinion on it first. [20:01] Sogo     What... do you think? [20:04] Tamaki     Sure. Why not? [20:05] Sogo     What? [20:06] Tamaki     You're gonna write a song? That's awesome. [20:09] Sogo     It might be terrible, though. [20:11] Tamaki     That's fine. It's not like     you'll get arrested for it. [20:15] Tamaki     And even if it's really     sucky or lame, I'll sing it. [20:20] Sogo     Thank you. [20:22] Tamaki     That's all you came to talk to me about? [20:25] Tamaki     The face you're making now is way better. [20:27] Sogo     Huh? [20:28] Tamaki     Keep telling me stuff. [20:30] Tamaki     If you wanna do something, I won't     say no without hearing you out first. [20:34] Tamaki     I won't laugh at you or whatever. [20:37] Tamaki     For real, you gotta stop being so nervous     about telling me stuff you wanna do. [20:50] Tamaki     Were you scared? [20:53] Tamaki     Did you think I'd get mad? Sorry. [20:56] Sogo     No, that's not it. [21:00] Sogo     I'm just happy to be allowed     to do what I want to do. [21:03] Tamaki     Dummy, of course you're allowed! [21:06] Tamaki     Okay, let's go. [21:07] Sogo     Huh? Go where? [21:09] Tamaki     Hurry. [21:11] Tamaki     Get in here, guys! [21:14] Yamato     What's up? [21:15] Tamaki     So-chan said he wants to     write songs for MEZZO". [21:19] Riku     You can compose songs? [21:21] Sogo     N-No! I'd just like to try it, is all... [21:25] Tamaki     He says he wants to as long as Nagicchi     and the rest of us say it's okay. [21:29] Nagi     Why do you need our permission? [21:32] Sogo     Because we've always sung Sakura-san's songs. [21:36] Sogo     I thought you might not like     singing someone else's. [21:38] Nagi     Haruki's songs won't get     in the way of your dreams. [21:43] Sogo     My dreams? [21:44] Nagi     Yes! Your desire to take on this challenge     is the happiest news we could receive. [21:48] Mitsuki     That's right. I'm sure your     uncle's happy about it, too. [21:53] Sogo     Thank you. [21:55] Yamato     This is the first time you've spoken up     about something you want to do. [21:59] Yamato     That's great. [22:00] Sogo     Yes. [22:01] Iori     I'm glad I got to hear some good     news before our anniversary tour. [22:05] Riku     Let's keep this up and make     the tour a success, too! [22:12] All     Yeah!
