**[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**

**[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.
