[00:00] (Flashback) Tsumugi
    Zero Arena's general manager will
    be coming to an IDOLiSH7 concert.
[00:05] (Flashback) Kujo
    You dropped this.
[00:08] (Flashback) Kujo
    Before the clock strikes 12,
    cast a spell on the audience!
[00:14] (Flashback) Iori
    Nanase-san, open your mouth!
[00:16] (Flashback) Riku
    No, we can't waste this chance!
[00:19] (Flashback) Kujo
    Their center couldn't come
    onstage during the encore.
[00:24] (Flashback) Kujo
    Do you know why, Tenn?
[00:26] (Flashback) Tenn
    Yes. I know why, Kujo-san.
[00:30] (Flashback) Tenn
    After all, we're twins.
[02:09] Nozomi
    That concert was seriously crazy!
SIGN    Riku
[02:12] Asuka
    I know. I loved it so much!
[02:15] Yume
    I'm so excited for their regular show.
[02:18] Nozomi
    Me, too. I'm definitely going to record it.
[02:21] Nozomi
    By the way, I wonder why Riku-kun
    didn't come onstage at the end.
[02:27] Yume
    It seemed like he was pretty
    exhausted during the second half.
[02:29] Asuka
    Maybe he wasn't feeling well.
SIGN    Nanase Riku
[02:34] Nozomi
    I want him to do his best, but
    not so much that he collapses.
[02:39] Both
    Yeah.
[02:48] Tsumugi
    Riku-san, the car is ready.
[02:53] Riku
    I... I'm sorry...
SIGN    #03 The Proposal
[03:06] Ogami
    How is Riku-kun doing?
[03:08] Tsumugi
    We had him stay at the hospital overnight
    and return to the dorm this morning.
[03:13] Tsumugi
    He seems to have mostly recovered.
[03:15] Ogami
    I see. Regardless of whether we're
    chosen for the inaugural show or not,
[03:20] Ogami
    I hope he doesn't worry about it.
[03:22] Tsumugi
    Me, too.
[03:24] Iori
    Good morning.
[03:25] Yamato
    Morning.
[03:26] Tsumugi
    Good morn—What?!
[03:29] Tsumugi
    Iori-san?! Yamato-san?!
[03:32] Tsumugi
    What's going on?!
[03:35] Iori
    We're going to meet with
    Zero Arena's general manager
[03:37] Iori
    directly to give him a presentation
    on IDOLiSH7's past achievements.
[03:40] Banri
    What?
[03:40] Tsumugi
    What?
[03:42] Yamato
    Honestly, I'm not interested
    in the inaugural show.
[03:45] Yamato
    But at this rate, Riku will
    never stop worrying about it.
[03:48] Yamato
    And for him, there's
    nothing worse than stress.
[03:51] Iori
    I'm not particularly concerned
    with Nanase-san's mental state,
[03:54] Iori
    but if we're to be judged solely
    based on yesterday's concert,
[03:57] Iori
    that's a problem.
[03:59] Tsumugi
    U-Um...
SIGN    Zero Arena General Manager
[04:05] Manager
    I'm the general manager of Zero Arena.
[04:08] Manager
    My name is Tanaka.
[04:10] Both
    Welcome to our office!
[04:14] Manager
    Your concert yesterday was fantastic.
[04:18] Manager
    There are still some rough edges,
[04:21] Manager
    but your performance had the passion
    and unity of Zero's concerts.
[04:30] Tsumugi
    Thank you.
[04:31] Manager
    Zero Arena is the holy land
    of the legendary idol Zero.
[04:36] Manager
    We'd like to use its renovation
    as an opportunity to reinvigorate
[04:39] Manager
    the idol industry like it was
    when Zero was still around.
[04:42] Manager
    TRIGGER will perform on the first
    day of the inaugural concert,
[04:45] Manager
    and Re:vale will perform on the last.
[04:47] Manager
    And we're thinking of having
    IDOLiSH7 perform on the second day.
[04:54] Tsumugi
    You mean...
[04:55] Manager
    Yes. We'd like you to appear
    in Zero Arena's inaugural show.
[05:03] Manager
    I have one concern.
[05:06] Manager
    What happened to your center?
[05:12] Manager
    He didn't appear in the encore
    during yesterday's concert.
[05:18] Tsumugi
    Nanase is currently feeling
    under the weather.
[05:22] Manager
    Is he sickly?
[05:24] Iori
    No, he was just exhausted yesterday.
[05:28] Iori
    Normally there's no problem.
[05:30] Yamato
    Ichi.
[05:31] Iori
    I'm sorry you had to see such
    a disgraceful performance.
[05:35] Iori
    I guarantee we'll do better
     at the inaugural show.
[05:39] Manager
    I'm relieved to hear that.
[05:41] Manager
    In that case, I hope you'll bring
    new energy to the holy land of idols
[05:45] Manager
    alongside Re:vale and TRIGGER.
[05:47] Iori
    We will.
[05:57] Yamato
    Ichi, why did you say that?
[06:01] Iori
    What are you talking about?
[06:02] Yamato
    Don't play dumb. I'm talking about Riku.
[06:06] Yamato
    You hid the fact that he's sickly.
[06:11] Iori
    Nanase-san has completed
    concerts until now.
[06:14] Iori
    He should be able to continue doing so.
[06:16] Yamato
    You said once that
[06:18] Yamato
    you're helping manage the group
     without the other members knowing.
[06:22] Iori
    Please don't tell the others.
[06:25] Yamato
    I don't intend to tell them,
[06:28] Yamato
    but you should take Riku's feelings
     under more consideration.
[06:32] Iori
    Nanase-san's feelings?
[06:35] Yamato
    Riku is an honest and earnest guy.
[06:38] Yamato
    He gives everything his best effort.
[06:40] Yamato
    I get why you want to bet on
    him during critical moments.
[06:44] Yamato
    But don't put too much responsibility on him.
[06:49] Yamato
    It'll crush him.
[06:54] Iori
    I feel the opposite way.
[06:56] Iori
    I felt guilty that we didn't
    allow Nanase-san to sing.
[06:59] Yamato
    Did you want to make him sing
    until he collapsed onstage?
[07:03] Iori
    That's not what I meant!
[07:07] Yamato
    Well, I suppose it means that
    Producer Izumi's expectations for Riku
[07:11] Yamato
    are just that high.
[07:18] Yamato
    Be careful.
[07:20] Yamato
    You, Riku, and I are only human.
[07:23] Yamato
    If you stick too rigidly to ideals and plans,
[07:25] Yamato
    what was working before
    will eventually stop.
[07:33] Mitsuki
    Seriously? Seriously? Seriously? Seriously?!
[07:36] Yamato
    Y-Yeah. The general manager came to the
    office earlier to make a formal offer.
[07:41] Mitsuki
    Yes!
[07:43] Mitsuki
    Let's stand on the same stage Zero
    did and make tons of people happy!
[07:47] Yamato
    Okay, okay.
[07:48] Nagi
    Amazing! Wonderful!
[07:51] Tamaki
    We did it, Nagicchi.
[07:56] Sogo
    Iori-kun.
[07:57] Sogo
    I was about to bring
    Riku-kun something to eat.
[08:00] Sogo
    Want to come with me?
[08:01] Iori
    What?
[08:03] Sogo
    He was worried about you.
[08:06] Sogo
    He thought you must be angry that
    he didn't perform during the encore.
[08:12] Iori
    I'll pass. I have other things to do.
[08:17] Sogo
    I see.
[08:18] Tamaki
    I'll carry that.
[08:20] Sogo
    Thanks.
[08:22] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, you're so hardworking.
[08:24] Sogo
    You did a great job cleaning
    the living room, too.
[08:28] Tamaki
    It's 'cause my mom got sick and died.
[08:32] Sogo
    Oh, right.
[08:33] Tamaki
    Need anything else?
[08:35] Sogo
    I'm fine, thanks.
[08:37] Tamaki
    Okay.
[08:41] Riku
    I'm glad IDOLiSH7 was chosen to
    perform at the inaugural concert.
[08:46] Riku
    I'm glad I didn't hold everyone back.
[08:49] Tamaki
    I'm the most glad that
    you're feeling better!
[08:55] Riku
    I'm pretty fine during the afternoon.
[08:57] Riku
    It's worst at night and in the morning.
[09:00] Riku
    Sorry. Is my coughing too loud?
[09:03] Sogo
    Don't worry about it.
[09:06] Sogo
    Is there anything you want us to do?
[09:08] Sogo
    Remember how you said
    Kujo-san and I are alike?
[09:11] Sogo
    What would your brother do for you
    when you had an asthma attack?
[09:15] Tamaki
    You're like him?
[09:18] Tamaki
    Does that mean he also tries to stab you
     with knives or throw computers at you?
[09:24] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, you're unbelievable.
[09:26] Sogo
    I just got a little heated, is all.
[09:29] Tamaki
    What?!
[09:29] Tamaki
    Just? A little? H-Heated?
[09:35] Riku
    Tenn-nii would do anything for me.
[09:39] Riku
    Since our parents worked
    nights, when I was struggling,
[09:42] Riku
    it was Tenn-nii who'd be at my side.
[09:46] Riku
    When I had asthma attacks,
    I couldn't sleep lying down.
[09:49] Riku
    I'd use his stomach as a pillow to sleep.
[09:52] Riku
    It would relieve my symptoms
    so I could sleep until morning.
[09:57] Riku
    So I'm always reminded of that
    whenever I have an attack.
[10:01] Tamaki
    I see.
[10:04] Tsumugi
    Riku-san, may I come in?
[10:08] Riku
    Come in.
[10:09] Tsumugi
    Excuse me.
[10:11] Tamaki
    Heya.
[10:12] Sogo
    Good evening.
[10:14] Tsumugi
    Good evening.
[10:17] Tsumugi
    How are you feeling?
[10:19] Riku
    I'm fine. I actually feel
    well enough to get up.
[10:23] Sogo
    We should get going.
[10:26] Tamaki
    'Kay.
[10:28] Tamaki
    Manager, you can be Rikkun's pillow.
[10:31] Riku
    Huh?!
[10:33] Tamaki
    Your stomach seems like it
    would be softer than ours.
[10:37] Riku
    Hey!
[10:41] Tsumugi
    Pillow? Stomach?
[10:42] Riku
    N-No, no! Uh, um...
[10:46] Riku
    I know. Let's turn on the TV.
[10:49] Ryu
    You're such a vulnerable woman,
    entering my room like this.
[10:53] Ryu
    Have you forgotten that I'm a man?
[10:56] Tsumugi
    Are you all right, Riku-san?
[10:59] Riku
    I-I'm fine.
[11:00] Gaku
    A man and a woman alone
    in a room together.
[11:04] Gaku
    There's only one thing they could be doing.
[11:06] ---
    Eek!
[11:07] Tenn
    Maybe I'll confess my love.
[11:10] Tenn
    To you, of course.
[11:13] Riku
    Let's not watch TV.
[11:15] Tsumugi
    Um... okay.
[11:17] Riku
    Dang it, Tamaki.
[11:20] Tsumugi
    Um, Riku-san.
[11:21] Riku
    Yes?
[11:23] Tsumugi
    Please answer me honestly.
[11:25] Tsumugi
    Is work hard for you?
[11:27] Riku
    What?
[11:28] Tsumugi
    You're essential to IDOLiSH7.
[11:33] Tsumugi
    But I don't want to push you too hard.
[11:39] Riku
    It's fine, Manager.
[11:41] Riku
    I should be apologizing for
    causing trouble for you.
[11:44] Riku
    I'll do a better job managing my health.
[11:46] Tsumugi
    Riku-san...
[11:47] Riku
    I'll do my best.
[11:49] Riku
    I promise I'll make our namesake show
    and the inaugural concert a success.
[11:55] Riku
    Don't worry.
[12:06] Ogami
    Is everything all right?
[12:08] Tsumugi
    Ah, yes! It seems Riku-san
    is able to get up today.
[12:12] Ogami
    No, Manager. I was asking about you.
[12:18] Tsumugi
    Sometimes I get a strange feeling
    while looking at Riku-san.
[12:24] Tsumugi
    I go back and forth between wanting to
    cheer him on from the bottom of my heart
[12:29] Tsumugi
    and asking him not to work so hard.
[12:35] Tsumugi
    As his manager, I wonder
    what I should be feeling.
[12:44] Iori
    Regarding MEZZO",
[12:46] Iori
    if we add recording the namesake
    show on top of their existing work,
[12:50] Iori
    it may become even more difficult
    to manage the schedule.
[12:54] Iori
    With magazine interviews,
    we should be able to...
[12:57] Iori
    Manager?
[13:00] Tsumugi
    Iori-san.
[13:01] Iori
    Yes?
[13:05] Tsumugi
    Let's change IDOLiSH7's center.
[13:11] Iori
    Change the center?
[13:13] Iori
    Are you insane?
[13:15] Tsumugi
    Our schedule is going to become even tighter.
[13:18] Tsumugi
    There's promoting the namesake
    show, releasing new songs,
SIGN    "Untitled" Program Plan
[13:22] Tsumugi
    and even more appearances on music programs.
[13:25] Tsumugi
    After the concert, I spoke with the doctor.
[13:28] Tsumugi
    As the weather changes, Riku-san's
    attacks will only get worse.
[13:32] Iori
    Yes, but...
[13:33] Tsumugi
    It's just until Riku-san's
    condition stabilizes.
[13:37] Iori
    The entire nation will be
    watching the namesake show.
[13:41] Iori
    It's an important chance to be
    seen and increase our recognition
[13:43] Iori
    among people who aren't
    interested in new idols.
[13:47] Iori
    Nanase-san must remain the center.
[13:49] Iori
    Even if they don't know the
    names of the other members,
[13:53] Iori
    they need to know the names
    IDOLiSH7 and Nanase Riku.
[13:55] Iori
    If we mess this up, Nanase Riku
    will never be our center again.
[13:59] Tsumugi
    I promise we'll restore
    Riku-san to the center.
[14:04] Iori
    That's not what I'm talking about.
[14:07] Iori
    First impressions are critical.
[14:09] Iori
    Besides, who would you
    make the center instead?
[14:13] Tsumugi
    I think you'd be a good choice.
[14:16] Iori
    Me?
[14:19] Tsumugi
    I think you're the best fit.
[14:22] Tsumugi
    We'd be fresh, smart...
[14:24] Tsumugi
    An IDOLiSH7 that can overcome any failures.
[14:29] Tsumugi
    You may not like it,
[14:32] Tsumugi
    but when I saw you get down on yourself
    after making a mistake onstage,
[14:36] Tsumugi
    it made me want to support you.
[14:43] Tsumugi
    Maybe it's a strange thing to say, but
    I thought it was charming, like Riku-san.
[14:52] Iori
    Like you said, I might be the best fit
    if we were to choose another center.
[14:57] Iori
    The personalities of the other
    members are too strong.
[15:00] Iori
    I would make for a plain IDOLiSH7.
[15:03] Tsumugi
    Then...
[15:04] Iori
    That's another story, though.
[15:06] Iori
    Nanase-san will sing for us.
[15:09] Iori
    Nanase-san himself wants to sing.
[15:11] Iori
    With his voice and character, we
    could reach Re:vale, or even Zero.
[15:20] Iori
    Do you think I'm being stubborn?
[15:26] Mitsuki
    Riku, are you feeling okay?
[15:28] Riku
    Yeah, I'm fine!
[15:30] Nagi
    Are you sleeping well?
[15:32] Riku
    Thanks. I heard you and
    Tamaki cleaned the dorm?
[15:35] Nagi
    Yes. We worked together to make
    the it carpling spleen for you.
[15:40] Tamaki
    Sparkling clean.
[15:42] Nagi
    We made it sparkling clean.
[15:45] Riku
    Thanks. Iori, are you mad?
[15:48] Iori
    Why do you ask?
[15:50] Riku
    Because I couldn't sing
    through the whole concert.
[15:53] Riku
    I'll make sure it never happens again.
[15:56] Iori
    I'm not mad.
[15:58] Iori
    I'm just glad you're all right.
[16:03] Riku
    I promise I'll become a superstar
    who pulls you guys along!
[16:06] Riku
    Just kidding.
[16:09] Iori
    I expect great things from you.
[16:14] Tamaki
    It's TRIGGER.
[16:18] Tsumugi
    Good morning. We look forward
    to working with you today.
[16:22] Gaku
    It's good to see you again, Tsumugi.
[16:25] Gaku
    Did you change your hairstyle?
[16:28] Tsumugi
    Yes, a little.
[16:29] Nagi
    Unbelievable...
[16:31] Gaku
    It looks good on you. It's cute.
[16:33] Tsumugi
    Thank you.
[16:35] Mitsuki
    The guy voted sexiest man alive
    is fully exhibiting his talents.
[16:39] Riku
    Has her hairstyle changed?
[16:41] Sogo
    I've been too busy to notice.
[16:43] Yamato
    At this rate, we're just a bunch
    of good-for-nothings.
[16:46] Yamato
    Okay, Nagi. Get in there!
[16:47] Nagi
    Oh! What?
[16:48] Nagi
    Sorry!
[16:50] Ryu
    Whoops.
[16:52] Ryu
    Are you okay?
[16:53] Mitsuki
    There it is!
[16:55] Mitsuki
    The sexy beast with a lucky perv's timing!
[16:58] Iori
    Where did you learn such obscene words?
[17:00] Mitsuki
    I saw it in a magazine headline.
[17:03] Tsumugi
    I'm sorry, Tsunashi-san.
[17:05] Ryu
    It's fine. I'm glad we'll be
     working together today.
[17:09] Ryu
    I heard your namesake show is
    starting. I'm looking forward to it.
[17:12] Tsumugi
    Thank you.
[17:13] Tenn
    Can we stop this ridiculousness?
[17:17] Tenn
    Good morning.
[17:19] Riku
    Tenn-nii.
[17:21] Riku
    Good morning. I haven't seen
    you since the Black or White.
[17:25] (Flashback) Tenn
    I'll tell you why I left home.
[17:29] Riku
    Um, do you have time later?
[17:32] Riku
    If not, could you at least give
    me your contact information?
[17:34] Tenn
    Sure.
[17:35] Riku
    Really?
[17:37] Tenn
    But first, answer me this.
[17:39] Tenn
    How do you feel about your
    blunder at your concert?
[17:49] Tenn
    You couldn't participate in the encore.
[17:52] Tenn
    You gave your fans an
    incomplete performance.
[17:54] Tenn
    As a professional, you failed
    to complete your job.
[17:57] Tenn
    Am I wrong?
[18:00] Ryu
    Tenn, that's too harsh.
[18:02] Ryu
    You had your reasons, right?
[18:04] Gaku
    At least shut up and give him your number.
[18:06] Gaku
    He's your little brother—
[18:07] Tenn
    Stay out of this, outsiders.
[18:08] Iori
    You're the outsider here.
[18:17] Director
    Stop. Stop for a minute.
[18:24] Director
    Riku-kun, you don't seem
    well. Are you okay?
[18:27] Director
    We're still in rehearsal,
    so you can take a break.
[18:30] Riku
    No, I'm fine.
[18:34] Yamato
    Riku, take a break.
[18:35] Yamato
    We have the actual show after this.
[18:38] Riku
    I'm fi—
[18:41] Gaku
    What's wrong with him?
    It seems like he's in pain.
[18:45] Gaku
    Hey, Tenn!
[18:46] Tenn
    I'll do it.
[18:50] Yamato
    Kujo.
[18:52] Tenn
    Don't stop the rehearsal.
[18:54] Tenn
    Do you think this is your personal studio?
[18:58] Riku
    Tenn-nii...
[19:00] Tenn
    Move.
[19:06] Iori
    Can you do the dance?
[19:07] Tenn
    Who do you think you're asking?
[19:09] Tenn
    Let's get started, please.
[19:17] Riku
    Tenn-nii was mad.
[19:19] Riku
    I've never seen him scowl like that.
[19:22] Riku
    It's because I couldn't sing properly.
[19:24] Riku
    Because I couldn't go onstage for the encore.
[19:28] Director
    Let's resume rehearsal!
[19:30] Director
    Three, two...

[20:25] Director
    Okay, good.
[20:31] Tenn
    Thank you.
[20:34] Director
    You were a huge help. Thank you so much.
[20:38] Tsumugi
    Thank you, Kujo-san.
[20:39] Tenn
    Rehearsal isn't just a dry run.
[20:43] Tenn
    Increasing excitement in
    the studio in preparation
[20:46] Tenn
    for the actual performance is our job.
[20:48] Tenn
    The staff and fans will always
    respond to our sincerity.
[20:53] Tenn
    Don't use your poor health as an
    excuse for your irresponsibility.
[20:58] Iori
    Kujo-san, you're not wrong.
[21:01] Iori
    I'd like to ask you one thing, though.
[21:03] Yamato
    Hey, Ichi!
[21:06] Iori
    Would you have done the same
    thing to another group?
[21:12] Tenn
    What?
[21:12] Iori
    You wouldn't have.
[21:14] Iori
    It's because we're IDOLiSH7.
    Because your unworthy brother is here.
[21:19] Tsumugi
    Iori-san.
[21:20] Iori
    You're like a helicopter parent.
[21:22] Iori
    And because of that,
    he grew up into a spoiled baby
[21:25] Iori
    who can't do anything on his own!
[21:28] Tenn
    What?
[21:30] Both
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[21:30] Both
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[21:32] Yamato
    You can't say that, Ichi.
    They're the ones who helped us.
[21:36] Yamato
    I'm really sorry.
[21:37] Ryu
    Tenn, Iori-kun's right. You shouldn't
    interfere so much with another agency.
[21:41] Ryu
    I'm really sorry.
[21:43] Yamato
    It's fine. Let's go for
    some of these sometime.
[21:46] Ryu
    Yes, let's!
[21:47] Ryu
    Come on, Tenn. Come here.
[21:49] Iori
    What? Did you click your tongue?
[21:52] Iori
    Hey, you!
[21:53] Yamato
    Ichi, calm down!
[21:59] Mitsuki
    Riku, it's fine. You finished the actual show.
[22:03] Riku
    I'm sorry.
[22:05] Riku
    I keep causing trouble for everyone.
[22:08] Riku
    I keep holding the group back.
[22:10] Sogo
    Riku-kun.
[22:20] Tsumugi
    Yes?
[22:23] Tsumugi
    Iori-san.
[22:25] Iori
    Manager.
[22:28] Iori
    I admit it. You were right.
[22:31] Iori
    I was wrong.
[22:33] Tsumugi
    What?
[22:34] Iori
    I accept your proposal to change centers.
