[00:00] (Flashback) Anesagi
Our goal is MOP.
[00:02] (Flashback) Anesagi
It's ironic, but there's plenty to
talk about regarding TRIGGER, too.
[00:06] (Flashback) Anesagi
If we can recover from this, that is.
[00:09] (Flashback) Tenn
Anesagi-san, what is the ideal idol?
[00:14] (Flashback) Anesagi
An idol who doesn't end.
[00:16] (Flashback) Anesagi
Idols are dreams.
[00:18] (Flashback) Anesagi
Nobody wants to see a dream end.
[00:21] (Flashback) Anesagi
But nothing's more difficult than
making that dream come true.
[00:26] (Flashback) Anesagi
I've made up my mind.
Let's become street musicians.
[00:33] Woman A
So anyway, ŹOOĻ aren't like normal idols.
[00:37] Woman B
Hey, look at that.
[00:39] Man A
Wow, they're still putting up ads here?
[00:42] Man B
I heard they've been sidelined.
[00:46] Woman A
They haven't appeared on TV at all recently.
[02:41] Ryu
This rain is a blessing from heaven.
[02:44] Ryu
It's giving us the strength to
eventually make huge flowers bloom.
[02:50] Tenn
Someone once told me a long time ago
[02:54] Tenn
that as long as he had allies and
weapons, he'd keep on singing.
[02:59] Gaku
Who told you that?
[03:00] Tenn
My rival.
[03:03] Tenn
I'll sing in the rain, laugh in
the darkness, and dance in Hell.
[03:08] Tenn
Our job will never change
until the day the world ends.
[03:12] Tenn
We'll let the people enjoy our songs.
[03:15] Tenn
No matter what kind of storm we're facing,
you'll always look handsome in the rain.
[03:21] Tenn
Anyone who laughs at you will immediately
be captivated in the next moment.
[03:25] Ryu
He's right. We'll be fine.
[03:28] Gaku
I'm not scared.
[03:31] Gaku
I was just worried we
might disappoint people.
[03:35] Gaku
They called us a rainbow.
[03:38] Gaku
I never wanted to show them a fallen rainbow.
[03:41] Gaku
But that's not how it is.
[03:44] Gaku
Even if we have to sing while soaking wet,
[03:46] Gaku
so that they'll say we really
are a rainbow after all...
[03:50] Gaku
So that IDOLiSH7 will want to challenge
us at Black or White again...
[03:55] Gaku
So that it wasn't a lie when
we said we'd surpass Re:vale
[03:58] Gaku
to become the best in Japan...
[04:00] Gaku
Let's show them the best
version of ourselves!
[04:03] Ryu
Yeah!
[04:03] Tenn
Of course.
[04:09] Gaku
This place is Zero Arena.
[04:11] Gaku
Tonight is Black or White.
[04:14] Gaku
Let's go, TRIGGER!
[04:16] Both
Yeah!
SIGN Kuroiwa
[04:28] Tsumugi
Riku-san, are you cold?
[04:30] Riku
No, I'm fine.
[04:39] Riku
It's TRIGGER.
[04:44] Tsumugi
Riku-san?!
[04:48] Man C
What's this crowd for?
[04:50] Man D
Hey, it's TRIGGER.
[04:52] Man C
They're still performing?
[04:54] Man C
People sure do fall quickly in
the entertainment industry.
[04:57] Man D
It's not that surprising
considering what they did.
[05:01] Riku
Tenn-nii...
[05:04] Woman B
What? No way. Isn't that—
[05:17] Tenn
Good evening. We are TRIGGER.
[05:22] Momo
All right!
[05:27] Sogo
Tamaki-kun!
[05:28] Tamaki
What's up, So-chan?
[05:30] Yamato

Where is this?!
[05:42] Tokiko
I'm going there now.
[05:44] Friend
You'll never make it in time from here.
[05:46] Tokiko
But I want to see TRIGGER sing in person!
[05:55] Tenn
Thank you for stopping in this rain.
[05:59] Tenn
Please listen.

[08:03] Yamato
And if God's not ready for you,
then we'll make one for you.

Trigger
[09:27] Woman E
It's like a dream...
[09:29] Woman E
I'm so happy... TRIGGER...
[09:34] Tenn
Thank you.
[09:36] Tenn
We are TRIGGER.
[09:37] Woman E
Encore, encore!
[09:40] All
Encore, encore!
[09:45] Gaku
Sorry, that's all for tonight.
[09:49] Gaku
But we promise we'll come see you.
[09:51] Ryu
We're sorry for making
you worried and anxious.
[09:55] Ryu
We're sorry for making you sad.
[09:58] Ryu
We're sorry we couldn't make you
smile even though you supported us.
[10:04] Tenn
We'll keep on singing,
just like we always have.
[10:08] Tenn
Tonight...
[10:12] Tenn
Thank you for tonight.
[10:21] Riku
I've been wondering how Tenn-nii feels now.
[10:28] Riku
Did hearing the fans' voices
hurt Tenn-nii like it hurt me?
[10:36] Riku
Someone once told me that
[10:38] Riku
it was stupid to seek the opinions
of fans and be hurt by them.
[10:43] Riku
That they say whatever they
please, so it's stupid to care.
[10:49] Riku
If that's the case, then who do I sing for?
[10:52] Riku
If I sing for the fans but don't
care what they have to say,
[10:57] Riku
then where should I look for the answers?
[11:00] Woman E
Tenn-kun, don't cry!
[11:07] Riku
He must not hate anyone,
just like he never hated me.
[11:15] Riku
He must really love his fans.
[11:21] Tenn
I'm sorry. I'm truly happy
I got to see all of you.
[11:28] Tenn
My reason for singing was never
to get something in return.
[11:34] Tenn
I've never once sought a reward.
[11:37] Tenn
But tonight, I feel like
I've received so much.
[11:42] Tenn
Thank you.
[11:44] Tenn
Your feelings have brought me joy.
[11:47] Tenn
Thank you.
[11:49] Tenn
I'm... I'm so glad I'm singing.
[11:54] Riku
Tenn-nii must have felt terrible
for hurting his fans and
[11:59] Riku
was prepared to be criticized by them.
[12:02] Riku
But what he received in reply was
kind, warm, and powerful voices.
[12:09] Riku
He's grateful for the support in their eyes
[12:13] Riku
even though they've lost
their honor and glory.
[12:15] Yume
You can do it!
[12:16] Fans
Tenn-kun!
[12:17] Man D
TRIGGER is awesome!
[12:18] Fans
You can do it!

It's all right!
[12:38] Fans
Don't cry!
[12:39] Gaku
Sorry, we'd like to ask all of you to
please not post his face online right now.
[12:43] Asuka
Got it!
[12:45] Gaku
Thanks.
[12:46] Tokiko
Excuse me!
[12:50] Tokiko
Will we see you again soon?
[12:54] Ryu
We'll do our best!
[12:55] Gaku
We'll take you guys to Zero Arena again.
[13:07] Riku
There's no such thing as a perfect person.
[13:10] Riku
Everyone's desperately
pushing themselves to
[13:12] Riku
a breaking point to protect
someone's happiness.
[13:18] Riku
I feel so overwhelmed.
[13:21] Fans
TRIGGER!
SIGN #20 Together We'll Dream a Neverending Dream
[13:28] Riku
Yes, I realized myself that I made a mistake.
[13:31] Riku
Sorry. Could we try that again?
[13:35] Riku
Yes, I realized myself that I made a mistake.
[13:38] Riku
Sorry. Could we try—
[13:40] Riku
372, 373...
[13:44] Iori
It was around the time this project started
[13:45] Riku
374, 375...
[13:47] Iori
that we suddenly started hearing more
voices calling Nanase-san's name.
[13:54] Riku
I can keep going. Please let me keep going!
[13:57] Iori
Why are there more voices calling your name?
[14:01] Iori
Why has your popularity skyrocketed?
[14:05] Iori
What lies ahead?
[14:14] (Flashback) Kujo
Because if Tenn is an angel,
then Nanase Riku is a monster.
[14:19] Iori
How is he a monster?
[14:22] Iori
I'm not sad about anything.
[14:24] Iori
Nanase-san's singing is always
there pulling us forward—
[14:27] Riku
I'm home!
[14:31] Riku
Iori, today TRIGGER—
[14:33] Iori
Welcome back, Nanase-san.
[14:35] Iori
What about TRIGGER?
[14:38] Riku
Oh, right. Today during their
street performance, TRIGGER—
[14:42] Iori
What? A street performance?
[14:44] Riku
You didn't notice? I sent you
a message on Rabbichat.
[14:46] Iori
Sorry.
[14:48] Riku
There's probably videos of it online,
so you should definitely check it out.
[14:53] Iori
I can't believe TRIGGER
performed in the street.
[14:59] Riku
Iori.
[15:00] Iori
Yes?
[15:01] Riku
Do you think I've changed?
[15:03] Iori
What?
[15:04] Riku
There were some fans
near the dorm just now.
[15:09] Riku
They said I seem like
I've changed recently.
[15:15] Riku
Oh, but like, not in a bad way.
[15:18] Riku
They said I'm even more
charming than I used to be.
[15:22] Riku
But still, I didn't really
know what they meant.
[15:27] Riku
Tenn-nii and I haven't changed
on the inside since a year ago,
[15:33] Riku
so why have the voices
we hear changed, I wonder?
[15:37] Iori
Didn't I promise to make you a superstar?
[15:44] Iori
Don't go anywhere without me.
[15:49] Riku
Tenn-nii...
[15:57] SONG
I'll set a Perfection Gimmick on

[16:26] SONG
I'll be Drawing the delight, trust me...
[16:33] Riku
Tenn-nii...
[16:35] Riku
Nothing about you or I has
changed in the last year, has it?
[16:40] Riku
So why have the voices we hear and
the situations surrounding us changed?
[16:49] Riku
This sight and the happy smiles
of our fans are so encouraging,
[16:56] Riku
but the truth is, they're so fleeting
they could change in an instant.
[17:01] SONG
I'll set a Perfection Gimmick on you
[17:04] SONG

[17:08] SONG
I want to show you Another face

You're so cool, Rikkun!
[17:57] Riku
Thank you!
[17:57] Iori
I've finally solved the mystery.
[18:00] Iori
I know why Nanase-san draws people to him,
and why Kujo called him a monster.
[18:02] Riku
What did you say?
SIGN Sogo
is My Fave
[18:07] Iori
It's his allure.
SIGN Allure
[18:11] Tsumugi
His allure?
[18:13] Iori
I've been thinking about why Nanase-san's
popularity suddenly increased.
[18:18] Iori
Even though we haven't done anything
special, his popularity keeps rising.
[18:23] Iori
He's currently passed MEZZO"
to become number one.
[18:26] Tsumugi
Isn't it a good thing for a group's center
to be its most popular member?
[18:30] Iori
Someone who wasn't always the most
popular despite being our center
[18:33] Iori
has become number one
[18:35] Iori
because of our namesake
show's instrument project.
[18:39] Iori
Nanase-san tackled the project head-on,
[18:41] Iori
but so did everyone else.
[18:44] Iori
So, what's different about him?
[18:47] Iori
It's his allure. Nanase-san
plays on people's emotions.
[18:52] Iori
Haven't you ever felt it when looking
at a poster of children or animals?
[18:55] Iori
They're subjects that elicit empathy.
[18:58] Iori
Don't you find yourself drawn to
children smiling and eating snacks,
[19:01] Iori
or animals relaxing in the sunlight?
[19:04] Tsumugi
Well, yes...
[19:06] Iori
The thing is, what makes
these things truly alluring
[19:10] Iori
isn't their sweetness,
it's their pitifulness.
[19:14] Iori
Children with sad eyes and weary animals
make us feel like we have to do something.
[19:22] Iori
Nanase-san is the same.
[19:25] Iori
During normal concerts,
he keeps his claws hidden.
[19:28] Iori
But when he's desperately pleading for
or attempting to accomplish something,
[19:33] Iori
he abruptly draws in his
audience's emotions to himself.
[19:35] Iori
He forces them to submit to
and empathize with his will.
[19:43] Iori
We've seen examples of it without realizing
what we were looking at until now.
[19:48] Iori
At Sound Ship where we were booed,
he not only finished singing TRIGGER's song,
[19:51] Iori
but he also got the crowd cheering for us.
SIGN I'll tell you the reason we were born
[19:54] Iori
Then we won the Black or White
when we took on TRIGGER.
SIGN Results
[20:02] Iori
We were braced for
confusion and complaints
[20:04] Iori
when we announced our center change,
[20:06] Iori
but our expectations were betrayed, and
the venue was filled with a wave of emotion.
[20:11] Iori
Do you understand?
[20:12] Iori
Nanase-san has instantly changed
feelings that people have long held.
[20:18] Iori
Kujo Tenn gives.
[20:20] Iori
He freely gives his fans
perfect performances
[20:22] Iori
and deep emotions, and
thereby satisfies them.
[20:26] Iori
Nanase-san's true worth isn't in giving.
[20:28] Iori
He asks, demands, and
controls hearts and minds.
[20:33] Iori
He draws people's emotions to his side.
[20:36] Iori
He's a black hole that ensnares
people's hearts and drags them in.
[20:42] Iori
That is Nanase Riku.
[20:44] Tsumugi
Why do you make it sound so terrifying?
[20:47] Tsumugi
Having people empathize
with you is a good thing.
[20:50] Tsumugi
Riku-san has the ability to
make lots of people love him.
[20:53] Tsumugi
Isn't that what this means?
[20:54] Iori
He has the power to make people act.
[20:57] Iori
Adults understand it better
than children like us.
[21:01] Iori
In fact, he's been appearing in
more commercials, hasn't he?
[21:07] Iori
People who empathize with him feel
kindness and a sense of purpose.
[21:11] Iori
They want to make Nanase
Riku's wishes come true.
[21:13] Iori
They want him to be happy.
[21:15] Iori
If he were, for example, a political
leader, he'd be immeasurably effective.
[21:21] Tsumugi
But...
[21:22] Iori
Until now, it's all been happening
within our confined little box.
[21:25] Iori
His allure on the instrument project
is weaker than it is onstage.
[21:31] Iori
But it was still tremendously effective.
[21:34] Iori
If he were to fervently request
something on national TV...
[21:43] Iori
we may lose control of him.
[21:50] Woman H
Hey, hey, hey, hey, did you
see the concert report on Rabbitter?
[21:53] Woman I
Yeah, about how they suddenly felt the same
way the moment they saw Riku-kun crying?
[22:00] Woman J
I nearly cried just reading the report.
[22:03] Woman H
Same, though! For real!
[22:05] Kujo
I see you're steadily devouring
