[00:33] Tenn     Thank you. [00:34] Tenn     Our next song will be the     last song of the concert. [00:37] Fans     What?! No! [00:39] Tenn     Thank you. [00:41] Tenn     I'm truly glad we got to see all of you     again at a hall as big as this one. [00:46] Ryu     We're grateful to everyone who     worked to make this day happen! [00:50] Gaku     This isn't the end. We'll     see you again next time! [00:54] Fans     When's the next time?! [00:58] Tenn     I'm sorry we don't have an     answer to that right now. [01:01] Tenn     But in order to keep that     promise, right now... [01:05] Tenn     Right now, we'll make every     effort to keep moving forward! SIGN    #25 Behind-the-Scenes Meeting SIGN    Tokimeki Hour SIGN    Tokimeki Hour SIGN    Tokimeki Hour SIGN    Guntto! Talk Show SIGN    Waku-waku Gunma SIGN    Another exciting day!     Rediscovering the fun side of Gunma [03:23] Yuki     I heard about TRIGGER. [03:26] Yuki     You pulled some strings, didn't you? [03:28] Next Re:vale producer     Yeah. There's not much I can do right now, SIGN    but I wanted to do what I could to create a place for those boys. SIGN    Outside the city, there are fewer constraints. [03:39] Yuki     Truly, thank you. [03:41] Yuki     Because of you, we were able to reaffirm     what we're supposed to be doing. [03:47] AD     Re:vale, we're ready for you. [03:50] Chief producer     Let's get this Friends Day meeting started. [03:54] Chief producer     Please review the documents for     the major elements we have planned [03:57] Chief producer     and details on how the day will proceed. [04:00] Chief producer     Friends Day will include a main     event space with an audience [04:03] Chief producer     in addition to live broadcasts     from various studios. [04:06] Chief producer     Ticket proceeds for the main space     will be donated as well. [04:10] Chief producer     Each segment will take roughly     30 minutes to an hour. [04:13] Chief producer     Between segments, personalities will     let viewers know how they can donate. [04:17] Chief producer     That's roughly how the day will go. [04:20] Tamaki     I've seen Friends Day before,     so I pretty much know that already... [04:23] Sogo     Tamaki-kun. [04:24] Tamaki     ...Sir. [04:25] Chief producer     That's encouraging. [04:27] Chief producer     Now, let's review what each     group will be doing. [04:29] Chief producer     Re:vale will be the primary MCs     for the main event hall. [04:35] Yuki     Got it. [04:36] Momo     You can count on us! [04:37] Chief producer     IDOLiSH7 will be involved in several     segments across the 24-hour period. [04:43] Chief producer     The first of these is "Friends Memorial Song." [04:46] Chief producer     Viewers will vote for their     most memorable songs. [04:49] Chief producer     Nikaido-kun and Nanase-kun     will run the segment. [04:52] Riku     Okay! [04:52] Nikaido     Looking forward to it. [04:54] Chief producer     Next is "Friends Message." [04:56] Chief producer     The hosts will read messages     from viewers to other people. [05:01] Chief producer     MEZZO" will run this one. [05:02] Chief producer     We'd like to show reactions to the messages,     so we ask that you be flexible. [05:06] Sogo     Understood. [05:07] Tamaki     We'll do our best! [05:09] Chief producer     "Friends Star." [05:10] Chief producer     This segment will feature viewer     performances chosen beforehand. [05:14] Chief producer     We'll be presenting local celebrities. [05:17] Chief producer     Izumi Iori-kun and Rokuya-kun     will run this segment. [05:20] Nagi     Okay. [05:21] Iori     You can count on us. [05:22] Chief producer     Izumi Mitsuki-kun, we'd     like you to be the sub-MC [05:26] Chief producer     between the various studios     and the main event hall. [05:28] Chief producer     You'll be supporting the     late-night hours as well. [05:31] Mitsuki     Makes sense, since Iori and     Tamaki can't work after 10 PM. [05:35] Mitsuki     And Riku will be resting     to stay on the safe side. [05:38] Riku     Well, if I'm feeling well on     the day of the event... [05:41] Yamato     Don't push yourself. [05:43] Yamato     There's plenty you can do without     appearing on the late-night bits. [05:46] Mitsuki     Besides, I'm not letting you steal     my thunder without a fight. [05:52] Chief producer     The male idol group from Yaotome     Productions taking TRIGGER's spot [05:56] Chief producer     will broadcast in volunteer     groups from around the country. [06:00] Chief producer     The studios will undoubtedly be chaotic,     but we ask that you keep your strength up, [06:03] Chief producer     stay calm, and work together     to see this through! [06:08] IDOLiSH7     Got it! [06:08] Nagi     Yes. [06:11] Yuki     Now, then... [06:13] Yuki     Let's get this secret     Friends Day meeting started. [06:15] Mitsuki     Secret meeting? [06:17] Mitsuki     Is that why you had us come to your house? [06:20] Tamaki     Why aren't we doing this at Momorin's place? [06:23] Momo     It's 'cause my place is trashed. [06:25] Both     It's already messy again?! [06:26] Momo     Er, I've got no excuse... [06:30] Yuki     Here. [06:31] Yuki     Making enough for everyone     was too much of a hassle, [06:34] Yuki     so I made enough for two like I always do. [06:36] Yuki     Fight over it. [06:37] Sogo     What? [06:42] Tamaki     Let's eat! [06:44] Tamaki     Thanks for the food! [06:46] Mitsuki     That was quick! [06:47] Riku     You didn't even wait for everyone else. [06:49] Okazaki     Good evening. [06:51] Okazaki     Yuki-kun's place is always so tidy. [06:54] Tsumugi     Th-Thank you for inviting us over. [06:57] Momo     Welcome, Little Miss Manager. [06:59] Tsumugi     Sorry we're late. We brought gifts. [07:04] Yamato     Nice thinking, Manager! [07:14] Momo     Ryo-san is definitely gonna pull     something on Friends Day. [07:18] Yuki     The Tsukumo veterans who have been regulars     aren't making appearances this year. [07:22] Yuki     He's created a situation in     which viewers will be likely [07:26] Yuki     to blame us youngsters for     any problems that occur. [07:29] Okazaki     My stomach hurts already. [07:31] Momo     The thing is, we've got no idea     what he'll actually pull, [07:35] Momo     even though Yuki and I have discussed it. [07:37] Yuki     Since we're not evil men at heart, [07:40] Yuki     we have trouble imagining the     wicked things he could do. [07:42] Momo     And so, we'd like your thoughts on the matter. [07:45] Yamato     You make it sound like we're evil at heart. [07:48] Momo     That's not what we meant. [07:50] Momo     But they say three heads are     better than two, right? [07:53] Momo     Can you think of any way he might interfere? [07:56] Sogo     Well, etiquette and dignity are     essential to charity events, so... [08:04] Sogo     He might get someone     drunk before the event [08:07] Sogo     by offering them strong     liquor disguised as a gift. [08:10] Yamato     Or have a woman he knows create     a scene at the main event hall [08:13] Yamato     by demanding someone take      responsibility for an affair. [08:16] Iori     Or he may plant a spy among the staff     and screw up the proceedings. [08:21] Nagi     Or steer a conversation     towards personal topics [08:23] Nagi     that have little to do with     charity or entertainment, [08:26] Nagi     calling into question its     appropriateness for public airways. [08:29] Momo     Aren't you glad IDOLiSH7     is on our side, Yuki? [08:33] Yuki     Newbies these days are so scary, Momo. [08:35] Nagi     Why don't we strike first by finding some     kind of weakness we can use against him? [08:41] Yuki     Weaknesses, huh? Any ideas? [08:44] Momo     What? I can't think of anything. [08:47] Momo     Ryo-san didn't seem very close with his     family, and he doesn't have any friends. [08:51] Mitsuki     How did you become close with him, then? [08:55] Momo     He helped me when Yuki was     nearly poached by Hoshikage. [09:00] Yamato     Wait, are you talking about my dad— [09:01] Yuki     Shizuo-san simply extended      an invitation, that's all. [09:04] Yuki     But their agency's people     were a little pushy. [09:08] Yuki     They said I owed them, like     you'd expect from Hoshikage. [09:11] Iori     Momo-san seems like someone     who'd have a hard time [09:14] Iori     saying no in the face of obligation or debts, [09:16] Iori     but you don't seem like     you'd be affected by that. [09:18] Yuki     Thinking I was indebted to them made it     clear they didn't match my aesthetic. [09:23] Yuki     But you'd take something     like that seriously, Momo. [09:26] Momo     I'd feel obligated to repay a debt. [09:29] Momo     Tsukumo Productions might've abused their     power, but it was easy to get along with them. [09:33] Momo     He never brought feelings into things. [09:35] Mitsuki     But why would Tsukumo Ryo save you from     Hoshikage if he didn't care about feelings? [09:40] Mitsuki     Wasn't Re:vale still new back then? [09:43] Momo     It was either on a whim     or to annoy his parents. [09:47] Momo     I was clueless at the time, so I thought     Ryo-san was a super nice person. [09:55] Momo     Okay, shall we have dessert? [09:58] Momo     Little Miss Manager brought      a peach tart for us! [10:01] Tsumugi     Oh, let me help you. [10:02] Momo     It's fine. Have a seat. [10:04] Tsumugi     Thank you. [10:12] Momo     Like Yuki said, I should've     cut ties with him sooner. [10:19] Momo     It's true that he did a lot for us. [10:23] Momo     Anyone would be angry if someone like that     bit the hand that feeds, not just Ryo-san. [10:31] Momo     On Friends Day... [10:34] Momo     If he tries anything, I think     it'll be against IDOLiSH7. [10:38] Momo     That would be the best     way to get back at us. [10:42] Momo     We've done things to limit     his crosshairs on us, [10:48] Momo     but with so many segments, we     don't know who all the staff are. [10:56] Momo     I'm sorry if we cause any trouble for you. [11:00] Tsumugi     Momo-san... [11:02] Mitsuki     You've never caused us any trouble. [11:04] Mitsuki     You're always helping us. [11:06] Yamato     He's right. Because you were so close     to him, we prevented my dad— [11:13] Yamato     We prevented the Chiba     Salon from being exposed. [11:30] Yamato     I'm hugely indebted to you. [11:32] Mitsuki     And that's not all. [11:33] Mitsuki     You're the one who saved us when we were     paralyzed by our misunderstanding. [11:39] Momo     Yamato, Mitsuki... [11:42] Yamato     Wait a sec... [11:43] Yamato     You should be the one leading     the efforts to cheer him up! [11:47] Yuki     You're right. [11:49] Momo     I've caused a lot of trouble for Yuki, too. [11:52] Mitsuki     See? Look at how depressed he is. [11:54] Yamato     Show some support! [11:55] Yuki     I do, just secretly. [12:00] Mitsuki     Secretly's not good enough. [12:02] Yamato     You're just like my stubborn old man, who     couldn't tell his own family how he really felt. [12:06] Yuki     Hold on. Hear me out. [12:09] Yuki     It's hard to have serious conversations     with someone younger than yourself. [12:12] Yamato     Age has nothing to do with it. [12:14] Yuki     In that case, did you ever     have a serious conversation [12:18] Yuki     with Mitsuki-kun after     you ran away from home? [12:21] Yamato     Well... [12:22] Mitsuki     I haven't heard anything. [12:24] Mitsuki     All he did was compliment my hijiki rice. [12:27] Yuki     See? [12:27] Yamato     I just haven't had the chance. [12:29] Mitsuki     You can say it now, then. [12:31] Yamato     What? [12:31] Mitsuki     You're capable of making     a serious statement, yeah? [12:33] Yamato     Well, y'know... [12:36] Yamato     It's been a year since we met, but,     uh, ever since we met, you... [12:45] Mitsuki     And now you're laughing?! [12:48] Yamato     Well, it's embarrassing. [12:50] Mitsuki     Why?! [12:51] Yamato     It just is, okay? [12:52] Yuki     See? Did you hear that, Momo? [12:54] Momo     You got your juniors to provide an audio     sample so you could defend yourself. [12:58] Momo     Not only are you smart, but you're     charming and lovely, too! [13:01] Yuki     Thank you. [13:03] Iori     Please don't make up by     teasing our older members. [13:08] Mitsuki     It's time you learned to be honest     about your feelings, old man. [13:10] Yamato     Oh, yeah? Are you capable of having     serious talks with Ichi, then? [13:14] Mitsuki     What? Yeah, I don't think so... [13:18] Iori     What? Why not, Nii-san? [13:26] Mitsuki     I just can't, okay? Not unless I'm wasted! [13:29] Iori     But... [13:30] Sogo     Is this how brothers are? [13:33] Sogo     I have serious conversations with Tamaki-kun     all the time even though he's younger. [13:37] Tamaki     Wait, do we? [13:40] Sogo     What? What about that time? [13:43] Sogo     And that one? [13:45] Sogo     And that other time? [13:47] Sogo     Those didn't count as serious conversations? [13:51] Nagi     You're all such shy boys. [13:54] Nagi     I'm capable of having any and all kinds     of serious conversations with Riku. [13:58] Riku     What? Who, me? [13:59] Nagi     Yes. You love my beautiful face, [14:04] Nagi     and I also love my beautiful face. [14:08] Riku     You're so cool, Nagi! [14:10] Riku     You're always complimenting my singing, [14:12] Riku     but I like my singing a fair bit, too! [14:15] Momo     Whoa, it's a positive feedback loop! [14:18] Yuki     They've got everything from boys who     easily list off sabotage methods [14:21] Yuki     all the way to positive rays of sunshine. [14:23] Yuki     IDOLiSH7 truly are the rainbow idols.     They're capable of everything. [14:28] Momo     We appreciate your continued support! [14:31] Sogo     Th-There's no need to be so polite! [14:33] Momo     Don't say that. [14:35] Yuki     We appreciate your help     with Friends Day, too. [14:43] Riku     Friends Day is finally coming up. [14:46] Riku     It feels strange. [14:48] Riku     The training camp was so much fun. [14:50] Yuki     I never thought I'd be asked     to write a song in one day. [14:55] Momo     You came up with T-shirt designs together,     and TRIGGER designed the choreography... [15:02] Riku     It feels strange that TRIGGER     isn't here, doesn't it? [15:10] Riku     Their presence vanished,     like they never existed. [15:14] Momo     Riku... [15:15] Iori     Nanase-san... [15:17] Momo     Sorry. [15:19] Momo     I'm really sorry I dragged     you all into this. [15:22] Riku     You have nothing to apologize for. [15:24] Momo     But... [15:26] Momo     But I don't want it to     make you hate this job. [15:33] Momo     There are plenty of people in this     world who really love this job. [15:38] Momo     They want to produce good work and are     happy as long as they can do that. [15:43] Momo     They're not motivated by money or status. [15:45] Momo     Even if you see people who don't side with     TRIGGER, don't think of them as cowards. [15:50] Momo     They're heroes who are quietly enduring this [15:53] Momo     in order to protect their families,     teams, and associates. [15:55] Momo     Rather than lashing out irresponsibly,     they're brave and determined. [16:00] Momo     Individually, we're weak. [16:02] Momo     But when you gather that strength together, [16:06] Momo     you can change a world that won't     even let you say TRIGGER's name. [16:09] Momo     I want you to be proud that people     like that depend on IDOLiSH7 [16:15] Momo     and keep loving this job. [16:19] Riku     I'd never hate this job. [16:21] Riku     After all, this is where Tenn-nii— [16:24] Riku     This is where TRIGGER wanted to return to,     no matter how they end up. [16:28] Riku     I want to keep singing here forever, [16:31] Riku     so that the other members,     the people we work with, [16:34] Riku     our rivals, and our fans     can keep having fun. [16:39] Momo     Yeah. [16:40] Yuki     What we need to do never changes. [16:43] Yuki     Let's enjoy Friends Day. [16:46] Mitsuki     Yeah, let's go all out! [16:47] Nagi     So that lovely ladies will smile. [16:50] Yamato     As well as young guys and old men, too. [16:53] Iori     We won't let anyone say     we ruined this for them. [16:55] Iori     Let's make this a success. [16:57] Tamaki     After all, we're helping people in need. [17:00] Sogo     We should meet the expectations of      everyone who entrusted us with this. [17:04] Tsumugi     We'll do everything we     can to support you, too. [17:06] Okazaki     You can count on us! [17:08] Riku     Let's do our best so we can     sing that song with a smile! [17:11] All     Yeah! [17:16] Riku     Maybe I'll do some more strength     training to prepare for Friends Day. [17:20] Mitsuki     Sounds good. Should we see who can     do more sit-ups starting today? [17:24] Tamaki     Let me in! [17:26] Tamaki     And if I win, you owe me     a year's worth of King Pudding. [17:30] Sogo     You just want to eat pudding. [17:32] Iori     That's fine, but don't make yourselves     so sore that you can't move on the day of. [17:39] Tamaki     Nagicchi, you've been     singing that a lot lately. [17:44] Nagi     Have I? [17:46] Mitsuki     Did you find a clue to Haruki-san's location     when you went back to Northmeir recently? [17:50] Nagi     No, nothing. [17:52] Mitsuki     I see. [17:54] Nagi     But strangely, singing this song     makes me feel connected to Haruki. [18:08] All     Cheers! [18:16] Banri     Sorry. I know you two are busy. [18:18] Yuki     No, I'm sorry we were late.     Our meeting ran long. [18:22] Banri     For Friends Day, right? [18:24] Banri     It's fine. [18:25] Banri     But maybe you could've told me     we were meeting at a different time. [18:29] Momo     You didn't tell him?! [18:30] Yuki     I figured you would. [18:33] Momo     Yuki, you're the one organizing this! [18:35] Momo     I glad I messaged him just to say hello. [18:40] Banri     You're over me now, aren't you? [18:43] Banri     Or rather, you're over telling me, "Look,     I'm so considerate," after we fight. [18:49] Momo     I know what you mean! He totally does that! [18:51] Momo     But at some point he gets     tired of you and stops. [18:53] Yuki     I haven't gotten tired of you. I love you. [18:56] Banri     That's just how you are. [18:58] Banri     You're lazy when it comes to     interpersonal relationships. [19:02] Momo     I still love you, though. [19:04] Yuki     I love both of you. [19:05] Yuki     I wish you wouldn't measure [19:07] Yuki     the depth of my love by how often     I message you on RabbiChat. [19:10] Banri     Oh? I guess this means he's gonna stop     spamming me with RabbiChat messages, then. [19:15] Banri     Sometimes he sends me      these awful poems. It's cringy. [19:17] Momo     He does what?! [19:18] Yuki     They're not poems. [19:20] Banri     Wanna see? [19:20] Momo     Gimme! [19:20] Yuki     Ban! [19:21] Momo     I've never gotten anything     like this from Yuki. [19:25] Yuki     I'll send you one right now, okay? [19:27] Banri     These things are just like some     kind of cheap sales campaign. [19:30] Yuki     Don't insult my poetry! [19:33] Banri     Aha, so you do call them poems. [19:41] Momo     Go ahead and flirt with      each other, why don't you?! [19:43] Momo     Excuse me! I could I get a double     shot of whiskey on the rocks? [19:46] Banri     Shochu on the rocks, please! [19:48] Yuki     Could I get a bottle of white wine? [19:49] Employee     Okay! One moment, please! [19:50] Yuki     Don't they have anything better? [19:54] Banri     I thought you wanted Yuki     and I to get along, Momo-kun. [19:58] Banri     Or did you decide you hate that? [20:00] Momo     No, that's definitely not the case. [20:03] Yuki     Momo flip-flops between     genuinely loving the old Re:vale [20:08] Yuki     and getting depressed about it. [20:12] Banri     If it makes you feel bad, then I promise     I'll never see this guy again. [20:17] Momo     No, don't do that! [20:20] Momo     It's my own fault that I worry about it. [20:25] Banri     You love Re:vale, so you feel bad that     I'm no longer part of it, right? [20:31] Momo     That's not true. [20:34] Banri     Try looking at it like this... [20:36] Banri     I gave up a life of being pushed     around by this pain in the ass [20:39] Banri     to become the assistant to a     dependable and handsome boss. [20:42] Yuki     That's not very nice. [20:45] Momo     Is President Takanashi      really that handsome? [20:48] Banri     Oh, absolutely. He's mega handsome.     And cute sometimes, too. [20:53] Yuki     There's no way an agency president [20:54] Yuki     that makes you work so     much overtime is handsome. [20:57] Banri     Hey! If you're going to insult my     president, then I'm leaving. [21:00] Momo     Sometimes Yuki flip-flops between     being glad you're happy [21:04] Momo     and being lonely 'cause you     were taken away from him. [21:08] Banri     Does he? [21:09] Momo     When IDOLiSH7 talks about you, [21:12] Momo     he fires back by telling stories that     make it sound like he knows you better. [21:17] Banri     Hang on, that's why those boys      started thinking I used to party hard?! SIGN    Those Boys [21:22] Yuki     Don't yell at me. [21:23] Banri     Unbelievable. [21:25] Banri     In any case, I'm better at     using a computer than you, [21:29] Banri     I know better than you what kind     of coffee my boss prefers, [21:32] Banri     and I know IDOLiSH7's schedule. [21:35] Banri     When it comes to being an employee     of Takanashi Productions, [21:38] Banri     there's no way you can beat me. [21:41] Banri     I'm proud of that.

[21:52] Yuki     In just five years, Momo became a top idol     and built trust with the people we work with. [21:59] Yuki     Re:vale became successful because of Momo. [22:03] Yuki     I doubt Ban and I love     Re:vale as much as he does. [22:17] Banri     Momo-san of Re:vale. [22:20] Banri     I hope you'll look after     Takanashi Productions' IDOLiSH7.
