[00:00] [SONG]
    Instead of staring at your
    feet, look into my eyes
[00:07] Tsumugi
    Please keep broadcasting.
[00:08] Nagi
    Hey, everybody! Hands up!
[00:14] Sogo
    Good job, Tamaki-kun.
[00:16] Tamaki
    It's all you, So-chan.
[00:18] Tamaki
    We're so small, and the clip's so short.
SIGN    Why did you want to become an idol?
[00:21] Riku
    Why is Tamaki so obsessed with TV?
[00:25] Sosuke
    You're IDOLiSH7's Osaka Sogo
    and Yotsuba Tamaki, aren't you?
[00:33] Ogami
    Sogo-kun and Tamaki-kun's
    popularity is on the rise.
[00:39] Ogami
    60% of the fan mail we
    get is addressed to them.
[00:42] Otoharu
    The two of them really stood out
    during the live concert broadcast.
SIGN    Fan Mail By Member
SIGN    Osaka Sogo
[00:47] Otoharu
    Next popular after them is
    Riku-kun, then Iori-kun.
[00:52] Ogami
    The handsome Nagi-kun and leader Yamato-kun
    have a stable number of fans, too.
[00:59] Ogami
    That said, Mitsuki-kun's
    popularity is declining.
[01:03] Ogami
    A lot of people say he's
    their second favorite.
[01:06] Otoharu
    I see.
[01:07] Ogami
    Differences in popularity within
    a group is a difficult problem.
[01:11] Otoharu
    I wish we could promote them equally.
SIGN    LIVE X LIVE Broadcast
SIGN    Ray of Light
[02:58] Both
    What?
[02:59] Tamaki
    You want the two of us to debut together?
[03:01] Sosuke
    You both have everyone's
     attention right now.
[03:05] Sosuke
    You'd become popular quickly
    if you were to debut.
[03:08] Sosuke
    What do you think? It's a good deal.
[03:10] Sogo
    We appreciate the offer, but we're employed
    at our agency to debut with them.
[03:16] Sogo
    So—
[03:17] Sosuke
    Does your debut have a date?
[03:20] Sogo
    No, not yet.
[03:22] Sosuke
    I didn't think so.
[03:24] Sosuke
    It's a small agency.
[03:25] Sosuke
    They don't have the money, connections,
    or knowledge to help you debut.
[03:28] Sosuke
    We could introduce you to a good record
    company and give you a splendid debut.
[03:34] Tamaki
    We're not doing it.
[03:36] Tamaki
    Working with you means
    we can't work with them.
[03:40] Tamaki
    We've worked with them until now.
[03:43] Tamaki
    We won't work for you.
[03:46] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun.
[03:47] Sosuke
    Are you sure?
[03:49] Sosuke
    You can't see your little sister while
     you're working for that agency.
[03:52] Sosuke
    I believe her name was... Aya, correct?
[03:55] Tamaki
    How do you know that?
[03:58] Sosuke
    I did my research.
[04:01] Sogo
    What is he talking about?
[04:12] Director
    Okay, good!
[04:14] Director
    Good work!
[04:17] All
    Thank you.
[04:22] Gaku
    Time flies.
[04:23] Ryunosuke
    It always does at TV stations.
[04:28] Ryunosuke
    Come in.
[04:30] Producer
    Good work, boys.
[04:32] Producer
    You were great today.
[04:34] Producer
    We're counting on you at the Music Festa.
[04:37] Producer
    Everyone's excited to see TRIGGER.
[04:40] Tenn
    Sure. Thanks for having us again this year.
[04:43] Ryunosuke
    Preparing for a ten hour broadcast
     every year must be difficult.
[04:48] Producer
    Well, it is a monster program
    that features everything
[04:51] Producer
    from indie groups to major artists.
[04:53] Producer
    Oh, right. Know any good performers?
[04:56] Producer
    We haven't decided which
    indie groups to feature yet.
[04:58] Ryunosuke
    Huh?
[05:01] Sosuke
    Yotsuba Tamaki.
[05:03] Sosuke
    You lost your mother to
    illness when you were young.
[05:05] Sosuke
    On top of that, your father is missing.
[05:08] Sosuke
    You and your younger sister
    entered an orphanage.
[05:10] Sogo
    Huh?
[05:11] Sosuke
    Two years later,
[05:13] Sosuke
    only your sister was adopted by the
    president of a mid-sized company.
[05:17] Sosuke
    However, his company went bankrupt.
[05:19] Sosuke
    His family disappeared overnight,
    and your sister disappeared with them.
[05:24] Sosuke
    Aren't you trying to become an entertainer
    so you can be reunited with your sister?
[05:30] Sogo
    Is that true, Tamaki-kun?
[05:32] Sogo
    Is that why you're so desperate to be on TV?
[05:35] Tamaki
    I couldn't find her no
    matter how hard I tried.
[05:38] Tamaki
    I thought she'd find me if
    my face showed up on TV.
[05:44] Sosuke
    Your sister will be starting
    high school next year.
[05:48] Sosuke
    But they fled under the cover of night.
[05:49] Sosuke
    Without any money, it'll be
    hard for her to go to school.
[05:52] Sosuke
    They'll probably put her to work.
[05:56] Sosuke
    A 15-year-old girl unable
    to rely on her own family.
[05:59] Sosuke
    Poor girl.
[06:01] Tamaki
    I'll find her. We'll live together.
[06:04] Sosuke
    But isn't your current agency more
    important to you than your sister?
[06:09] Tamaki
    I—
[06:10] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, you don't have
    to listen to him anymore.
[06:13] Sogo
    Let's go.
[06:15] Sogo
    Excuse us, Yaotome-san.
[06:21] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun?
[06:23] Tamaki
    If I debut with you, will you put me on TV?
[06:26] Sogo
    Huh?!
[06:27] Sosuke
    Of course.
[06:29] Sosuke
    Once you're in a commercial, your
    face will be on TV every day.
[06:32] Sosuke
    I promise I'll pay you however much
    you need to live with your sister.
[06:37] Sogo
    Don't, Tamaki-kun!
[06:39] Sogo
    Don't listen to him!
[06:43] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun!
[06:45] Sosuke
    But debuting with Osaka
    Sogo-kun is our condition.
[06:50] Sogo
    No, thank you.
[06:51] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, let's go.
[06:54] Sosuke
    You can give me your answer another time.
[06:56] Sosuke
    But you should hurry.
[06:58] Sosuke
    My mind has a tendency to change easily.
[07:08] Tamaki
    So-chan...
[07:17] Tamaki
    Sogo-san.
[07:19] Sogo
    No.
[07:22] Tamaki
    Please!
[07:23] Tamaki
    Transfer to their agency with me!
[07:27] Sogo
    I can't.
[07:28] Tamaki
    Please!
[07:29] Sogo
    Stop this!
[07:31] Sogo
    No point in being polite now.
[07:33] Tamaki
    She's the only sister I have!
[07:35] Tamaki
    I feel sorry for the others,
    but I have to help her!
[07:39] Tamaki
    Come on, please! Debut with me!
[07:47] Tsumugi
    I see. So that's what happened...
[07:50] Sogo
    I don't think Tamaki-kun
    actually wants to transfer,
[07:54] Sogo
    but their president said
    things to agitate him.
[07:59] Sogo
    Manager, are we still not ready to debut?
[08:04] Sogo
    Debuting would assuage
     Tamaki-kun's concerns.
[08:09] Tsumugi
    You're right...
[08:12] Mitsuki
    What?! What the hell are you talking about?!
[08:15] Mitsuki
    What does that mean?!
[08:16] Mitsuki
    What do you mean, you're quitting?!
[08:18] Nagi
    No! Don't fight.
[08:21] Nagi
    Oh...
[08:24] Tamaki
    Sorry, guys.
[08:27] Mitsuki
    I don't want an apology!
[08:28] Mitsuki
    Did Sogo say he's going to debut
     with another agency, too?!
[08:32] Tamaki
    Sorry.
[08:34] Tsumugi
    What's going on?
[08:35] Sogo
    Wait a second, did you tell the others?!
[08:41] Tamaki
    I thought I should apologize...
[08:44] Sogo
    Y-You idiot! Why'd you have to jump the gun?!
[08:47] Sogo
    There's a proper order to these things!
[08:48] Tamaki
    I thought I should apologize for you, too!
[08:52] Sogo
    Don't apologize for me!
[08:55] Yamato
    Hey, So, Tama. Are you guys
    serious about quitting?
[08:58] Tamaki
    Sorry.
[08:59] Sogo
    No!
[09:00] Mitsuki
    Which is it?!
[09:02] Iori
    Why don't you quit, then?
[09:04] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[09:05] Riku
    Iori!
[09:06] Iori
    Osaka-san hasn't, but this means Yotsuba-san
    has already forsaken IDOLiSH7.
[09:11] Iori
    Then we should forsake him.
[09:14] Iori
    We don't need you, either.
[09:18] Iori
    Go ahead. Leave.
[09:23] Riku
    That's going too far, Iori!
[09:26] Riku
    Tamaki, there must be some
    reason for this. Right?
[09:32] Nagi
    Please, Tamaki. Tell us why.
[09:36] Sogo
    Tamaki-kun, they should know the truth.
[09:40] Sogo
    If you can't tell them, I can do it for you.
[09:45] Mitsuki
    What the hell's going on?! Tell us!
[09:51] Tamaki
    I have a younger sister.
[09:53] Tamaki
    We grew up in an orphanage together.
[09:56] Tamaki
    But we haven't seen each
    other for a long time.
[09:58] Tamaki
    I'm still looking for her,
    but I can't find her.
[10:02] Riku
    Huh?
[10:03] Nagi
    A young girl is missing?
[10:05] Tamaki
    If I don't find her soon, she
    won't be able to go to school.
[10:08] Tamaki
    They might put her to work,
    so I wanted her to find me.
[10:15] Tamaki
    I wanted to be on TV.
[10:17] Tamaki
    So I thought I'd transfer to an agency
    that would let me debut sooner.
[10:21] Mitsuki
    What kind of reason is that?
[10:24] Mitsuki
    You should've started with that!
[10:26] Tamaki
    S-Sorry!
[10:27] Yamato
    You're terrible at explanations!
[10:29] Iori
    Of course we'd be surprised
    at your sudden announcement!
[10:33] Sogo
    Unbelievable.
[10:34] Riku
    That's enough.
[10:38] Nagi
    It's all right, Tamaki.
[10:41] Nagi
    In other words, it's okay as
    long as you can appear on TV?
[10:44] Tamaki
    Yes.
[10:46] Nagi
    Good!
[10:47] Nagi
    In that case, the seven of
    us should debut together!
[10:51] All
    What?
[10:52] Nagi
    Our songs, our fans.
[10:56] Nagi
    We have so much more now.
[10:58] Nagi
    We can debut!
[11:01] Mitsuki
    Should you be making that decision, Nagi?
[11:04] Yamato
    Negotiating with the president, huh?
[11:07] Yamato
    Let's give it a shot, Manager.
[11:09] Tsumugi
    Yeah. I'll make an appointment immediately.
[11:14] Riku
    Our debut, huh?
[11:16] Iori
    I wonder what the president will say.
[11:19] Otoharu
    Sure.
[11:20] All
    What?
[11:21] Otoharu
    I was thinking about suggesting it.
[11:23] Riku
    Really?
[11:24] Otoharu
    Yeah. I think now's the right time.
[11:28] Otoharu
    And if Yaotome's making a move,
    then we can't afford to take our time.
[11:34] Otoharu
    Osaka Sogo-kun.
[11:36] Sogo
    Yes!
[11:37] Otoharu
    Yotsuba Tamaki-kun.
[11:38] Tamaki
    Yeah.
[11:42] Otoharu
    The two of you will debut.
[11:47] Tsumugi
    What?
[11:48] Mitsuki
    Just the two of them?
[11:49] Nagi
    What about us?
[11:51] Tsumugi
    What are you talking about, Dad?
[11:53] Iori
    Have you given up on
    promoting all seven of us?
[11:55] Tsumugi
    I'm sorry. The president likes
    to test people sometimes.
[11:59] Tsumugi
    Right? You don't actually intend to
    debut just the two of them, right?
[12:05] Otoharu
    I wish I could have taken my time
    to debut all seven of you together.
[12:11] Otoharu
    However, Yaotome has set his sights on you.
[12:14] Otoharu
    He's merciless.
[12:17] Otoharu
    If he can't have you,
[12:18] Otoharu
    he'll do something to destroy you so
    completely you'll never work again.
[12:22] Otoharu
    In order to protect you and IDOLiSH7,
[12:27] Otoharu
    I'm sorry, but I have to separate you.
[12:33] Yamato
    So you'll debut them to keep us safe.
[12:37] Otoharu
    We'll continue developing the rest of you
    until you're ready as originally planned.
[12:41] Riku
    When we're ready?
[12:43] Otoharu
    Once everyone knows you as well as them.
[12:49] Sogo
    Is there any other way?
[12:51] Sogo
    I don't want this.
[12:52] Sogo
    I don't want to leave my friends.
[12:55] Riku
    Sogo-san.
[12:57] Otoharu
    I know it's hard, but you'll
    have to get over it.
[12:59] Otoharu
    In a few years, you may be
    able to work together again.
[13:02] Tamaki
    A few years?
[13:04] Mitsuki
    That long?
[13:06] Yamato
    Fine.
[13:06] All
    Huh?
[13:08] Yamato
    But first, give us a chance.
[13:11] Yamato
    If we can reach the level of recognition
    you're looking for, let us debut as seven.
[13:17] Tsumugi
    Yamato-san.
[13:21] Iori
    In other words,
[13:23] Iori
    the five of us will have to raise our own
    recognition in a short amount of time.
[13:26] Mitsuki
    Can we really do that?
[13:33] Ogami
    Sir, it's an emergency!
[13:34] Ogami
    Huh? You're all here.
[13:36] Otoharu
    What is it, Banri-kun?
[13:39] Ogami
    IDOLiSH7 has been asked to
    appear at the Music Festa.
[13:44] All
    Huh?
[13:48] Tamaki
    The Music Festa?
[13:50] Mitsuki
    They hold it every year.
[13:53] Mitsuki
    They get a bunch of indie and major artists
    together for a ten hour live show!
[13:58] Sogo
    It's not a local station or
     late night show, either.
[14:01] Sogo
    It's a highly rated program
    on a national network!
[14:03] Nagi
    I have no complaints about this big chance!
[14:06] Tsumugi
    Yeah.
[14:08] Yamato
    When one door shuts, another one opens.
[14:11] Riku
    If the Music Festa goes well,
    can the seven of us debut?
[14:15] Iori
    We have a plan.
[14:17] Yamato
    Sir, please.
[14:19] Tsumugi
    Please.
[14:28] Announcer
    That night is coming back!
[14:32] Announcer
    The annual music festival...
SIGN    Strawberries
[14:35] Announcer
    Music Festa!
[14:38] Announcer
    The performance of your dreams
     from a splendid series of artists!
[14:41] Announcer
    Don't miss the ten hour live broadcast!
[14:48] Daughter
    Huh? Really?!
[14:49] Mom
    What? Did something happen?
[14:52] Daughter
    I7 is going to be on Music Festa!
[14:55] Mom
    I7?
[14:56] Daughter
    IDOLiSH7!
[14:58] Mom
    Oh, those unpopular idols you like.
[15:01] Daughter
    They're plenty popular!
[15:03] Daughter
    They're good at singing and handsome!
[15:04] Daughter
    They even sold out their outdoor show!
[15:07] Daughter
    I'm so happy!
[15:09] Daughter
    I need to tell everyone.
[15:11] Sister
    Really? If they're going to be
     on TV, maybe I'll watch.
[15:14] Daughter
    Yeah, you should!
[15:17] Daughter
    You'll definitely become their fans!
[15:25] Sosuke
    What's the meaning of this, Takanashi?
[15:28] Sosuke
    What kind of connections did he use?!
[15:30] Gaku
    How unusual for you to raise your voice.
[15:34] Gaku
    Do you have some kind of
    grudge against that agency?
[15:36] Sosuke
    It's none of your business!
[15:40] Sosuke
    Going somewhere?
[15:41] Gaku
    I have the afternoon off.
[15:43] Gaku
    I can go wherever I want.
[15:45] Sosuke
    You're going back to her store?
[15:47] Sosuke
    Stop acting so disgraceful!
[15:50] Gaku
    It's none of your business.
[15:53] Staff
    Excuse me.
[15:57] Staff
    Um, did you listen to the song
    sample I sent you the other day?
[16:03] Sosuke
    I certainly did.
[16:04] Sosuke
    How dare you send me this garbage.
[16:08] Staff
    Garbage?
[16:09] Sosuke
    How many times do I have to tell you?
[16:11] Sosuke
    Bring me a song worthy of TRIGGER!
[16:14] Sosuke
    If you can't, you're fired!
[16:15] Staff
    I'm sorry!
[16:16] Sosuke
    If you don't want to lose your job,
    bring me a song better than IDOLiSH7's.
[16:21] Staff
    Huh? IDOLiSH7?
[16:23] Sosuke
    I could replace you in a heartbeat!
[16:25] Sosuke
    Remember that!
[16:27] Staff
    I'll rewrite it immediately!
[16:29] Staff
    Excuse me!
[16:33] Sosuke
    Their intensity is in their music, too.
[16:36] Sosuke
    Who the hell is writing them?
[16:38] Sosuke
    Damn you, IDOLiSH7.
[16:46] Staff
    IDOLiSH7...
[16:53] Otoharu
    I'm giving you a new song.
[16:55] Riku
    Huh?
SIGN    Untitled
[16:57] Otoharu
    It's different from the others.
[16:59] Otoharu
    It's a slower song that speaks
    to the hearts of its listeners.
[17:03] Otoharu
    Your harmony, and bringing your
    feelings together will be important.
[17:09] Otoharu
    Make your hearts one, and
    take hold of your future.
[17:13] All
    Yes, sir!
[17:26] Iori
    It's a nice song.
SIGN    Untitled
[17:30] Iori
    We still don't know who's writing these.
[17:35] Riku
    Something wrong?
[17:36] Iori
    Ah, nothing.
[17:39] Mitsuki
    This will make the dancing slow, too.
[17:43] Sogo
    Sounds difficult.
[17:45] Riku
    We can't hide behind intensity.
[17:48] Riku
    We'll have to execute each move perfectly.
[17:50] Iori
    The same goes for the music.
[17:52] Iori
    Given the softness of the melody, it'll
    be unconvincing unless it's sung well.
[17:58] Iori
    You have to sing this right.
[18:00] Iori
    Don't mess this up, Nanase-san.
[18:02] Riku
    Don't pressure me like that!
[18:04] Riku
    Don't blame me if I have an asthma attack!
[18:07] Iori
    You've gotten defiant.
[18:09] Riku
    I guess.
[18:11] Nagi
    Overlapping the melodies
    correctly will be hard.
[18:14] Nagi
    Even if I'm distracted,
    I can't cover my ears.
[18:17] Mitsuki
    Yeah.
[18:18] Yamato
    So and Tama, your voices are
    nice when you're harmonizing.
[18:21] Tamaki
    Yeah. You finally found a way we get along.
[18:25] Sogo
    You're finally being honest.
[18:27] Sogo
    I'm surprised you wanted to debut with me.
[18:30] Tamaki
    You gotta do what you gotta do.
[18:32] Sogo
    Do you have to phrase it like that?
[18:34] Mitsuki
    I'll have to practice even harder.
[18:37] Mitsuki
    I don't want to get left behind by you guys.
[18:40] Sogo
    Mitsuki-san.
[18:41] Mitsuki
    Becoming an idol has been
    my dream since I was a kid,
[18:45] Mitsuki
    but it's more than that now.
[18:48] Mitsuki
    I want the seven of us to work together.
[18:50] Mitsuki
    I don't want to be left behind
    or leave anyone else behind.
[18:53] Mitsuki
    Don't you guys agree?
[18:55] Nagi
    Yes!
[18:55] Riku
    Of course.
[18:56] Yamato
    Yeah.
[18:57] Mitsuki
    I know the conditions are tough,
    but this is our national debut.
[19:02] Mitsuki
    Let's pull ourselves together
    and really pump things up!
[19:05] Sogo
    I agree.
[19:07] Tamaki
    I should practice looking into the camera.
[19:10] Yamato
    You do that.
[19:11] Riku
    As long as we're having fun, I'm sure
    the gods will tell us to stay together.
[19:18] All
    Yeah!
[19:40] Yamato
    Hey.
[19:42] Mitsuki
    I feel like I've gotten pretty
    good, but it's still not 100%.
[19:47] Mitsuki
    Damn it!
[19:50] Yamato
    Things feel different when you have energy.
[19:53] Mitsuki
    Wh-Where did that come from?
[19:55] Mitsuki
    I'm always overflowing with energy
    no matter when or where I am.
[19:59] Yamato
    You were worried, weren't you?
[20:04] Mitsuki
    What's wrong with that?
[20:05] Mitsuki
    I don't want to get left behind.
[20:08] Mitsuki
    I know I don't have any exceptional
    talent like everyone else does.
[20:13] Yamato
    Everyone's glad to have you around, Mitsu.
[20:17] Mitsuki
    Uh, oh man.
[20:19] Mitsuki
    Some kinda liquid's coming out of my eyes!
[20:23] Yamato
    You idiot.
[20:26] Mitsuki
    That's me!
[20:32] Mitsuki
    I want to make my dream come true.
[20:34] Mitsuki
    I really do.
[20:36] Mitsuki
    Please, God.
[20:49] Riku
    Tenn-nii...
[20:51] Iori
    You're watching it again?
[20:53] Riku
    Iori.
[20:56] Riku
    What's with you?
[20:58] Riku
    At least knock—
[20:58] Iori
    You don't need to watch this anymore.
[21:02] Riku
    Hey! What do you think you're doing?
[21:04] Iori
    Stop chasing Kujo Tenn's shadow.
[21:06] Riku
    Huh?
[21:07] Iori
    Nanase-san, you should sing your own songs.
[21:10] Iori
    I promise I'll make you a superstar.
[21:12] Riku
    Huh?
[21:14] Riku
    You will?
[21:17] Iori
    With the manager.
[21:18] Iori
    Rather, mostly the manager.
[21:22] Riku
    Okay...
[21:24] Iori
    With your singing ability, I know we
    can satisfy the president's condition.
[21:28] Iori
    Even if you don't believe in me,
    believe in my management skills—
[21:31] Iori
    no, my analytical abilities.
[21:40] Nagi
    So, this is where legends are born.
[21:49] Nagi
    If even a small beat of my wings
    can raise me up from nothing...
[22:04] Nagi
    Haruki, I didn't think I'd become
    so emotionally invested in them.
[22:10] Nagi
    Please cast a spell on us again.
[22:15] Nagi
    Give us the power to cause a miracle.
