[00:00] (Flashback) Banri
    "Our Incomplete Selves."
[00:02] (Flashback) Banri
    A song full of memories for
    Yuki, Momo-kun, and me.
[00:05] (Flashback) Yuki
    I think you'll like our band name, too, Ban.
[00:08] (Flashback) Banri
    What is it?
[00:09] (Flashback) Yuki
    Re:vale.
[00:10] (Flashback) Momo
    The moment I heard that song,
    my heart started beating again.
[00:19] Ryo
    Tell me, Momo.
[00:21] Ryo
    Why did you beg Yuki not to stop singing?
[00:24] Ryo
    Did you want to become an idol with him?
[00:26] Ryo
    Did you think you could use
     Yuki to become famous?
[00:32] Momo
    I just didn't want to see
    Re:vale end like that.
[02:16] (Flashback) All
    Re:vale is the best!
[02:19] (Flashback) All
    I'll follow them forever!
[02:28] (Flashback) Banri
    Yuki, can I have this fan letter?
[02:31] (Flashback) Banri
    It's addressed to both of us.
SIGN    To Re:vale
[02:35] (Flashback) Yuki
    Sure. I'm sleepy.
[02:38] (Flashback) Banri
    You should read it, too.
    I know it'll move you.
[02:42] (Flashback) Banri
    It's from a boy. He said he was touched
    after hearing "Our Incomplete Selves."
[02:47] (Flashback) Yuki
    Really? Let me see.
[02:49] (Flashback) Banri
    Apparently he got injured and lost an
    important game with his sports team.
[02:55] (Flashback) Banri
    Hearing "Our Incomplete Selves"
[02:57] (Flashback) Banri
    brought up all the sadness and frustration
    he'd repressed and made him cry.
[03:02] (Flashback) Banri
    But because of that, he can move forward.
[03:05] (Flashback) Banri
    He thanked us for making the song.
[03:08] (Flashback) Banri
    Our song got all the way through to someone
    and helped them. It's like a miracle.
[03:15] (Flashback) Banri
    Hey, Yuki?
SIGN    ...brought up all my sadness and frustration...
SIGN    But because of it, I can move forward.
SIGN    Thank you for making this song...
SIGN    Your concerted changed my life...
SIGN    This song saved me.
[03:28] (Flashback) Yuki
    You suck.
[03:31] (Flashback) Banri
    All I did was try to take
    a picture of you crying.
[03:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    I wasn't crying.
[03:35] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm keeping this letter.
[03:38] (Flashback) Banri
    What are you going to do with it?
[03:43] (Flashback) Banri
    Yuki?
SIGN    To Re:vale
[03:46] (Flashback) Yuki
    From now on, I'll do a proper job.
[03:47] (Flashback) Banri
    You mean you haven't been?
[03:50] (Flashback) Banri
    I had a feeling you weren't.
[03:52] (Flashback) Yuki
    Oh, yeah?
[03:53] (Flashback) Banri
    It was written all over your face that you
    didn't know what you were dancing for.
[03:57] (Flashback) Yuki
    To be honest, I was thinking of quitting.
[04:00] (Flashback) Yuki
    Not that there was actually anything wrong...
[04:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    But I'm glad I didn't.
[04:07] (Flashback) Yuki
    Now I feel like I can do anything.
[04:11] (Flashback) Yuki
    Let's do it, Ban. We can
    become the best in the world.
[04:15] (Flashback) Yuki
    Let's keep singing together until we die.
[04:18] (Flashback) Banri
    Yeah.
[04:20] (Flashback) Banri
    All right.
[04:25] Banri
    After that, Re:vale steadily
    began to gain popularity.
[04:29] Banri
    But little by little, we fell
    out of step with each other.
[04:32] Iori
    Out of step?
[04:34] Banri
    One problem was me.
[04:36] Banri
    As Re:vale got bigger, I found that
    I preferred behind-the-scenes work.
[04:41] Riku
    You mean like office work?
[04:43] Banri
    That's right.
[04:44] Banri
    Receiving that letter must've
    satisfied my desire to write songs.
[04:49] Banri
    Besides, I had another goal.
SIGN    Our Incomplete Selves
[04:53] Banri
    I wanted Yuki to be able to
    support himself by making music.
[04:57] Banri
    He can be himself working in
    the entertainment industry.
[05:02] Banri
    As we gained more fans, I stopped being
    able to control things on my own.
[05:07] Banri
    There was that awful incident
    known as "The Bloody Eve."
[05:10] Tamaki
    What's that? Is it scary?!
[05:13] Banri
    A man who mistakenly believed
    Yuki stole his girlfriend
[05:16] Banri
    crashed our Christmas Eve
    concert with a group of other guys.
[05:19] Both
    What?
[05:20] Nagi
    Violence!
[05:22] Banri
    It was Momo-kun who gallantly
    leapt onstage and saved us then.
[05:28] Banri
    I'll never forget that savage rampage.
[05:36] (Flashback) Momo
    What the hell are you idiots doing?!
[05:41] Banri
    Yuki and I secretly called him "Mad Dog."
[05:46] (Flashback) Momo
    Sorry for screwing up your performance!
[05:50] (Flashback) Yuki
    The Mad Dog is apologizing to us.
[05:54] (Flashback) Banri
    Um... You're that boy who comes to
    our concerts all the time.
[05:58] (Flashback) Momo
    How did you know?
[05:59] (Flashback) Banri
    Boys tend to make a lasting impression.
[06:02] (Flashback) Banri
    Are you hurt? Let me give you my contact
    information in case anything comes up.
[06:07] (Flashback) Banri
    Could I get yours, too?
[06:09] (Flashback) Momo
    A-Absolutely not! I don't
    need it! I'm leaving!
[06:13] (Flashback) Banri
    I don't think so.
[06:15] (Flashback) Banri
    Here.
[06:18] (Flashback) Momo
    Ban-san, you're so handsome...
[06:23] (Flashback) Momo
    This notebook is so handsome, too...
SIGN    Sunohara Momose
[06:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    Hey.
[06:35] (Flashback) Momo
    Huh?
[06:38] (Flashback) Momo
    So handsome...
[06:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    Have you ever sent us a letter?
[06:44] (Flashback) Momo
    What?!
[06:45] (Flashback) Yuki
    How do you read these characters?
[06:49] (Flashback) Momo
    S-Sunohara Momose.
[06:51] (Flashback) Yuki
    I see.
[06:52] (Flashback) Yuki
    Thanks, Momo-kun.
[06:56] Banri
    That was the first time we spoke to Momo-kun.
[06:59] Banri
    After that, he'd occasionally
    come help with our concerts.
[07:04] Banri
    It had been about five years
    since we formed Re:vale.
[07:08] Banri
    That's when a producer named
    Kujo gave me his business card.
[07:12] Riku
    Kujo...
[07:13] Banri
    He said he wanted to speak to Yuki.
SIGN    Producer
[07:16] Banri
    I told Yuki to go meet him since it was an
    opportunity for us to make our major debut, but...
[07:24] (Flashback) Yuki
    He's creepy. No way.
[07:26] (Flashback) Banri
    You better not have actually said
    that to Kujo-san, too!
[07:29] (Flashback) Banri
    I told you so many times
    to be polite with him!
[07:31] (Flashback) Yuki
    Well, he kept going on about surpassing
    Zero and becoming the ideal idol.
[07:36] (Flashback) Yuki
    He's already planned everything out.
[07:40] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm not a robot.
[07:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    Do you want to debut with him?
[07:49] (Flashback) Banri
    Let's wait until we find
    someone we get along with.
[07:52] Banri
    But just when I'd nearly forgotten about him,
[07:55] Banri
    Kujo reached out to me and said he
    wanted to meet with me this time.
[08:00] Banri
    He told me I was second rate
    and not to hold Yuki back.
[08:05] Banri
    That wasn't the reason why,
    but I couldn't trust Yuki to Kujo.
[08:11] Banri
    I had a bad feeling about him.
[08:13] Banri
    But then...
[08:15] (Flashback) Okazaki
    I'm Okazaki Rinto from Okazaki Productions.
[08:18] (Flashback) Okazaki
    Would you like to release a CD with us?
[08:20] (Flashback) Okazaki
    I've been to several of your concerts.
[08:23] (Flashback) Okazaki
    Re:vale will change music in Japan.
[08:25] (Flashback) Okazaki
    Please become our first client!
[08:28] (Flashback) Banri
    First?
[08:29] (Flashback) Okazaki
    We're a small, newly established agency,
    but we've got plenty of passion.
[08:36] (Flashback) Momo
    Ban-san, about the equipment...
[08:38] (Flashback) Momo
    Oh, sorry to interrupt. I'll ask you later.
[08:41] (Flashback) Banri
    It's all right.
[08:44] (Flashback) Banri
    Oh, right. Did you hear
    about the afterparty?
[08:46] (Flashback) Banri
    You should come, too, Momo-kun.
[08:48] (Flashback) Momo
    I could never! I'll pass!
[08:50] (Flashback) Yuki
    Do you want to hear our new song?
[08:51] (Flashback) Momo
    What?
[08:52] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'll let you listen to it if you come.
[08:54] (Flashback) Momo
    What?
[09:00] (Flashback) Momo
    No, thank you! I'll wait to
    hear it from the audience!
[09:03] (Flashback) Momo
    See you later!
[09:06] (Flashback) Yuki
    Momo-kun is a die-hard fan of ours,
    but he's always running off somewhere.
[09:11] (Flashback) Banri
    He's reserved.
[09:13] (Flashback) Okazaki
    Who is he?
[09:14] (Flashback) Banri
    A college student.
[09:15] (Flashback) Banri
    Sometimes we ask him to help
    out when we're short-handed.
[09:19] (Flashback) Banri
    Okazaki-san, thank you for the offer
    to make our CD debut with your agency.
[09:23] (Flashback) Banri
    We'll take some time to consider it.
[09:26] (Flashback) Okazaki
    By all means!
[09:27] (Flashback) Okazaki
    I can't stay until the end
    because I've got work,
[09:29] (Flashback) Okazaki
    but I'll be watching your concert today.
[09:36] (Flashback) All
    I hope it starts soon.
[09:40] (Flashback) All
    I'm so excited.
[09:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    Let's open with "Our Incomplete Selves."
[09:45] (Flashback) Banri
    For Okazaki-san?
[09:47] (Flashback) Yuki
    If he's a Re:vale fan, he'll
    want to hear that the most.
[09:51] (Flashback) Banri
    You're right.
[10:03] Banri
    ...our future swelled
[10:08] Banri
    I'll gently hold your hunched shoulders
[10:13] Banri
    ...this beautiful flicker
[10:15] Banri
    Into a solid light
[10:19] Banri
    Those days we had nothing to fea—
[10:30] (Flashback) Banri
    Yuki!
[10:43] (Flashback) All
    Is he okay?
[10:44] (Flashback) All
    Ban-san!
[10:49] Momo
    I didn't understand what had happened.
[10:54] Momo
    Everyone was crying and praying for
    the two of them to be all right.
[11:00] Ryo
    And were your prayers answered?
[11:01] Momo
    A few weeks later, I heard
    from an acquaintance
[11:05] Momo
    that Ban-san's face had been injured,
    and he'd gone missing because of it.
[11:10] Momo
    That Yuki-san was quitting music.
[11:12] Momo
    That for all intents and purposes,
    Re:vale had disbanded.
[11:21] Banri
    The Re:vale with Yuki and I ends there.
[11:30] Tamaki
    You left without saying anything so
    Yukirin wouldn't do as Kujo said, right?
[11:38] Banri
    I didn't want Yuki to be
    constricted because of me.
[11:41] Riku
    You didn't think Yuki-san would quit singing?
[11:46] Banri
    I didn't. I was confident he wouldn't.
[11:50] Banri
    And I believed the people around
    Yuki wouldn't neglect him.
[11:53] Banri
    I was surprised when I heard
    it was Momo-kun, though.
[12:02] (Flashback) Momo
    Yuki-san, is it true that
    you're quitting singing?
[12:08] (Flashback) Yuki
    There's no way I can continue.
[12:10] (Flashback) Momo
    Please don't let it end.
[12:12] (Flashback) Yuki
    What?
[12:12] (Flashback) Momo
    Please don't let this be the end of Re:vale!
[12:18] (Flashback) Momo
    Please!
[12:28] (Flashback) Momo
    Please don't quit Re:vale!
[12:30] (Flashback) Yuki
    You're so persistent. It doesn't matter
     how many times you show up.
[12:33] (Flashback) Yuki
    Re:vale is already over.
[12:35] (Flashback) Momo
    It's not over!
[12:37] (Flashback) Yuki
    I don't want to sing alone.
[12:38] (Flashback) Momo
    Then... Then, I'll sing with you!
[12:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    Who would sing with you?
[12:44] (Flashback) Yuki
    No one can replace Ban.
[12:46] (Flashback) Momo
    I know, but it's too sad
    to leave things like this!
[12:49] (Flashback) Momo
    That isn't Re:vale!
[12:52] (Flashback) Momo
    Even if you were sad or things
    got tough, you kept on singing!
[12:57] (Flashback) Yuki
    Leave!
[12:57] (Flashback) Momo
    No!
[13:01] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm begging you... Just let me give up.
[13:04] (Flashback) Momo
    Please don't give up!
[13:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    Why are you doing all of this?
[13:43] (Flashback) Momo
    Because I don't like it.
[13:45] (Flashback) Momo
    A long-held dream of mine ended.
[13:48] (Flashback) Momo
    I don't want Re:vale to end the same way.
[13:51] (Flashback) Momo
    Not while you can still sing, Yuki-san.
[13:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    I hate to tell you this since you're
    a fan, but I don't have dreams.
[13:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    I became an idol by chance.
[14:00] (Flashback) Momo
    You couldn't have stayed in
    that harsh place by chance.
[14:07] (Flashback) Momo
    Yuki-san, no matter what anyone said,
    you kept writing new songs and performing.
[14:13] (Flashback) Momo
    You didn't run. You kept on singing.
[14:16] (Flashback) Momo
    It doesn't make sense to quit
    when you can still run and sing.
[14:20] (Flashback) Momo
    Didn't Ban-san tell you to keep singing?
[14:23] (Flashback) Momo
    If you can't listen to a friend
    you cared so deeply for,
[14:26] (Flashback) Momo
    then there's something wrong with you!
[14:28] (Flashback) Yuki
    Shut up.
[14:33] (Flashback) Yuki
    Wha—
[14:34] (Flashback) Momo
    Just give me five years!
[14:36] (Flashback) Momo
    You can't keep going because it feels
    like you're betraying Ban-san, right?
[14:40] (Flashback) Momo
    Then work with me for the five years
     you worked with Ban-san, please!
[14:44] (Flashback) Momo
    I won't take up more of your
    time than you spent with him.
[14:48] (Flashback) Yuki
    And after that?
[14:49] (Flashback) Momo
    You can change partners.
[14:51] (Flashback) Momo
    But you'll have met him by then.
[14:54] (Flashback) Momo
    Let's become famous so you can meet Ban-san.
[14:57] (Flashback) Momo
    I'm sure he'll be singing somewhere.
[15:00] (Flashback) Momo
    Even with a scar on his
    face, he's still handsome.
[15:01] (Flashback) Momo
    I know we'll find him.
[15:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    Just five years?
[15:05] (Flashback) Momo
    Just five years.
[15:12] (Flashback) Yuki
    Fine.
[15:21] (Flashback) Momo
    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
[15:26] (Flashback) Momo
    I'm so glad. I thought that was it.
[15:30] (Flashback) Momo
    I thought it was really all over...
[15:36] (Flashback) Momo
    I'm so glad. I'm so happy.
[15:40] Banri
    They're probably compatible
    enough to operate at full power.
[15:44] Banri
    And Momo-kun was a hard worker to begin
     with, and incredibly talented to boot.
[15:50] Momo
    Well? Isn't Japan's number
    one group, Re:vale, amazing?
[15:53] Nagi
    Banri is bragging about one of our rivals.
[15:57] Nagi
    I feel jealous.
[15:59] Riku
    R-Re:vale are great seniors to us, but
    please keep supporting us, Banri-san.
[16:07] Banri
    I'm glad to hear you say that.
[16:09] Banri
    This is where I belong, and my
    dream is for IDOLiSH7 to succeed.
[16:14] Yamato
    Thank you.
[16:17] Banri
    It's nice being the subject
    of people's jealousy.
[16:20] Banri
    It's like I'm everyone's big brother.
[16:23] (Flashback) Otoharu
    Starting today, you're an employee
    of Takanashi Productions.
[16:27] BGTV
    He's been granted a five-year
    stay of execution.

[16:27] (Flashback) Banri
    I should cut my hair, shouldn't I?
[16:29] BGTV
    According to the presiding judge,
[16:30] (Flashback) Otoharu
    You look good with long hair, Banri-kun.
[16:31] BGTV
    "The Analects tell us that a person's
    mistakes tell us what kind of person they are,

[16:33] (Flashback) Otoharu
    But if it keeps you from seeing what's
    in front of you, you should cut it.
[16:37] (Flashback) Otoharu
    You need to see the future,
    so don't obstruct your own view.
[16:38] BGTV
    and I certainly felt that with this case.
[16:41] (Flashback) Otoharu
    The people who stand onstage are
    sometimes tactless and delicate.
[16:41] BGTV
    Everyone makes mistakes, but
    determining what is a mistake..."

[16:46] (Flashback) Otoharu
    Despite the poor visibility,
    they run at full speed.
[16:50] (Flashback) Otoharu
    Our job is to see where they're headed.
[16:54] (Flashback) Otoharu
    You're smart and kind. It's work
     you've always been good at.
[17:00] (Flashback) Banri
    Do you think I can be of use to someone?
[17:02] (Flashback) Otoharu
    Of course.
[17:04] (Flashback) Banri
    I'm glad to hear that.
[17:05] (Flashback) Banri
    I don't think I made the wrong choice,
    but I feel like I let go in the end.
[17:11] (Flashback) Banri
    Thank you for giving me a place
    where I can achieve my lost dream.
[17:14] (Flashback) Otoharu
    You haven't lost anything.
[17:18] (Flashback) Otoharu
    Look.
[17:20] TV
    Once again, we're looking at unknown artists.
SIGN    A Quick Look!
[17:24] TV
    Today we're covering the
    freshly debuted idol duo, Re:vale!
[17:28] (Flashback) Otoharu
    The dreams you dreamed in the past
[17:31] (Flashback) Otoharu
    and the dreams you dream now
[17:33] (Flashback) Otoharu
    are still shining brightly.
    They've just changed form.
[17:40] (Flashback) Banri
    I'm glad. The things I did weren't a mistake.
[17:45] (Flashback) Banri
    Not writing that song, meeting
    him, or saying goodbye.
[17:49] (Flashback) Banri
    You're okay. Both gods and insects love you.
[17:59] Banri
    Their time that's been frozen
    should start flowing again soon.
SIGN    Our Incomplete Selves
[18:05] Banri
    Like the rest of that song
    that stopped playing that day.
[18:10] Momo
    Yuki still can't sing that song.
[18:13] Momo
    I can't listen to it around Yuki, either.
[18:16] Momo
    I'm praying we'll be able to someday, though.
[18:19] Ryo
    Someday, huh? So, did you
    find his missing partner?
[18:24] Momo
    Yeah.
[18:25] Ryo
    Let him replace you, then.
    You'll get to hear it again.
[18:29] Ryo
    Your greatest wish will be granted.
[18:33] Ryo
    Aha! You don't want to give up
     your seat anymore, do you?
[18:37] Ryo
    He's currently the biggest
    thorn in your side.
[18:41] Ryo
    In that case, how about this?
[18:43] Ryo
    I'll hide him away someplace
    if you'll help me with my work.
[18:49] Momo
    You really don't get it.
[18:52] Ryo
    Huh?
[18:53] Momo
    I do feel threatened by Ban-san.
[18:56] Momo
    But just as much, I want to
    see them singing side by side.
[19:01] Ryo
    Those feelings aren't compatible.
[19:04] Momo
    Maybe not, but it's how I feel!
[19:07] Momo
    And it's not just me.
[19:08] Momo
    It's Yuki, Yamato, TRIGGER,
    and IDOLiSH7, too.
[19:12] Momo
    We're pushed about by temptation,
    vanity, and attachment,
[19:15] Momo
    but we still have desires we want to achieve!
[19:17] Momo
    Don't stick your hand in there
    and screw things up on a whim.
[19:21] Momo
    We're not stars.
[19:23] Momo
    We're pretending to be stars
    by sticking aluminum foil
[19:25] Momo
    all over ourselves because there
    are people who look up at us.
[19:29] Momo
    At the very least, I want to keep
    smiling in front of those people!
[19:33] Momo
    It's the reason I desperately pretend
    I'm floating when I can't even fly.
[19:37] Ryo
    Then I'll cut your invisible piano wires
    and send you crashing to the ground.
[19:44] Ryo
    The corpses of idols will
    pile up on the ground.
[19:48] Ryo
    Goodbye, my beloved idols.
[19:51] Ryo
    Goodbye, Momo of Re:vale.
[19:55] Momo
    I wasted my time. I even
    argued with Yuki over this.
[20:03] Ryo
    Come hang out again sometime.
[20:05] Momo
    I'm never coming back.
[20:11] Ryo
    This is why I don't like idols.
[20:26] Yuki
    Are you done?
[20:30] Momo
    What's that for?
[20:31] Yuki
    I thought I'd come rescue
    you if I heard a scream.
[20:34] Momo
    You?
[20:37] Momo
    That metal bat suits you
    perfectly. So handsome.
[20:44] Momo
    I failed.
[20:46] Yuki
    I see.
[20:48] Yuki
    Momo, do you want to listen to
    "Our Incomplete Selves," or sing it, even?
[20:53] Momo
    What do you want?
[20:54] Yuki
    I...
[20:58] Yuki
    want to sing it with you someday.
[21:01] Yuki
    I practically made that song for you.
[21:05] Momo
    It was already finished when
    I went to see your concert.
[21:08] Yuki
    You're right. No, that's not right.
[21:12] Yuki
    It's too embarrassing.
    I'll tell you another time.
[21:15] Yuki
    Maybe in my final moments.
[21:17] Momo
    That's so long from now.
[21:19] Momo
    Where'd you get the bat?
[21:20] Yuki
    I bought it on the way here.
[21:21] Momo
    You weren't recognized?
[21:23] Yuki
    I told them I was the "pirated" version.
[21:33] Iori
    Having a late night snack?
[21:36] Riku
    I couldn't sleep.
[21:38] Riku
    Do you want some carbonara, Iori?
[21:43] Iori
    How long have you been boiling this?
[21:46] Iori
    This is somen.
[21:48] Riku
    What? You think it'll work as pasta?
[21:52] Iori
    No. You'll have to find a way
    to make somen carbonara—
[21:56] Riku
    Hey, Iori.
[21:58] Riku
    Do you think we'll end someday?
[22:03] Iori
    IDOLiSH7 won't end.
[22:06] Iori
    You're letting Ogami-san's story get to you.
[22:08] Riku
    But... endings come suddenly.
[22:13] Riku
    People's feelings and bodies change, too.
[22:18] Riku
    When the time comes, I hope I can smile
    like Banri-san and say it was for the best.
[22:25] Iori
    I couldn't.
[22:26] Riku
    What?
[22:27] Iori
    No matter how it ends,
    even if you're all satisfied,
[22:31] Iori
    I could never be glad about IDOLiSH7 ending.
[22:35] Iori
    I could never say that.
