[00:25] ---
Chisa.
[00:25] ---
Y-Yes.
[00:27] ---
Shizuku.
[00:28] ---
Yeah.
[00:29] ---
Miss Haruko.
[00:31] ---
Yes.
[00:32] ---
Mei.
[00:33] ---
Yup!
[00:35] ---
To be honest, technique-wise,
we're far from perfect.
[00:39] ---
But all your efforts up until today
are engraved in you.
[00:44] ---
Give it everything you've got
now for this performance!
[00:48] ---
Yes!
[00:54] ---
Ready Kotono?
[00:56] ---
Yeah.
[01:04] ---
Hoshimi Productions!
[01:05] ---
--Let's...
--...go!
[01:06] ---
Fight!
[01:07] ---
Go, go, go! Yeah!
[01:19] ---
This stage is our very first step.
[01:23] ---
Are you watching...
[01:25] ---
...Mana?

"5 YEARS AGO"
[01:35] ---
"Hoshimi High School"
[01:37] ---
"Congratulations "Welcome "Spring
on your admission!" New Students!" Festival"
[01:40] ---
Hey, new students!
[01:42] ---
Promise me you'll make the next three years
an unforgettable high school experience!
[01:51] ---
--The light and shadow of youth.
[01:52] ---
--Next, each club will be coming up
to promote themselves!
--The light and shadow of youth.
[01:55] ---
--Next, each club will be coming up
to promote themselves!
--Of course, she's the light and I'm...
[01:56] ---
--Make sure to stay for it
if you're still undecided.
--Of course, she's the light and I'm...
[01:58] ---
--Makino, hurry up!
[01:59] ---
--But I'd recommend staying for it
even if you've decided, too!
--Makino, hurry up!
[02:01] ---
--But I'd recommend staying for it
even if you've decided, too!
--Coming!
[02:02] ---
They go all out for these presentations,
so please check them out!
[02:05] ---
After that, we'll move on to
the fun recreational activities!
[02:13] ---
Light and shadow don't mix inherently...
[02:22] ---
Why is she sitting next to me?
[02:25] ---
It's science next.
[02:26] ---
I'm so going to fall asleep!
[02:29] ---
After class?
[02:30] ---
Yup.
[02:31] ---
I want to talk to you about something.
[02:41] ---
It can't be now?
[02:42] ---
No!
[02:44] ---
Listen.
[02:45] ---
I better see you after school!
[02:53] ---
What was that about?
[02:56] ---
The emperor has abdicated
[02:59] ---
and by next autumn,
[03:00] ---
--As far as these things go...
--he shaved his head
and entered priesthood.
[03:02] ---
--It's usually a confession...
--He wandered the mountains
here and there
[03:06] ---
--No... There's no way that would happen to me.
--and devoted himself
to Buddhist training.
[03:09] ---
--The narrator speaks in a distinct tone
regarding the emperor.
[03:10] ---
--It must be one of those pranks or something.
--The narrator speaks in a distinct tone
regarding the emperor.
[03:12] ---
--They have great respect
towards the emperor.
[03:13] ---
--Do people still do those things?
--They have great respect
towards the emperor.
[03:15] ---
This will be on the test.
[03:17] ---
I guess so...
[03:24] ---
A prank?
[03:26] ---
What is?
[03:27] ---
What do you mean? Um...
[03:29] ---
This scenario...
[03:31] ---
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
[03:35] ---
Anyway, I have a favor to ask you, Makino.
[03:43] ---
An idol...?
[03:44] ---
Yeah...
[03:47] ---
Is that weird?
[03:48] ---
No.
[03:49] ---
I was just surprised because it was abrupt.
[03:52] ---
But well, I'd say you can become one.
[03:55] ---
Nagase, you can be an idol.
[03:58] ---
I think it would suit you, Nagase.
[04:00] ---
It's Mana!
[04:02] ---
What?
[04:03] ---
Just call me Mana.
[04:05] ---
Everyone else calls me that, too.
[04:07] ---
What... Um...
[04:09] ---
That's a bit...
[04:10] ---
It's totally fine!
[04:17] ---
All right...
[04:19] ---
Then...
[04:20] ---
Mana.
[04:21] ---
Good!
[04:23] ---
Then, Makino...
[04:25] ---
Oh, my first name is Kohei.
[04:30] ---
I knew that.
[04:31] ---
You can call me Kohei, too.
[04:33] ---
No, that would be weird.
[04:35] ---
I'm calling you Makino, okay?
[04:37] ---
If we call each other by our
first names out of the blue,
[04:39] ---
everyone would get suspicious.
[04:41] ---
That doesn't make any sense.
[04:44] ---
So...
[04:45] ---
It seems like the person who
scouted me is a famous producer.
[04:51] ---
Nagas--
[04:53] ---
That probably happens to you a lot, Mana.
[04:56] ---
That's not true.
[04:58] ---
It's never happened to me before,
so I don't know what to do.
[05:03] ---
But I am interested...
[05:05] ---
So I thought about it a lot
and consulted my little sister...
[05:09] ---
So, why me...?
[05:12] ---
W-Well.
[05:14] ---
Boys can be knowledgeable about idols, right?
[05:18] ---
It's not like all the guys are...
[05:22] ---
There's that complicated
Venus-something system, right?
[05:26] ---
I thought I'd consult someone
knowledgeable about that.
[05:30] ---
I'm not knowledgeable at all, either.
[05:32] ---
I would ask Furuta or Kawano about that--
[05:36] ---
I'm asking you, Makino!
[05:43] ---
I haven't told anyone else about this,
[05:46] ---
so don't tell anyone, okay?
[05:47] ---
I don't get it... Why me?
[05:50] ---
That's because...
[05:57] ---
You sit right next to me and it was convenient!
[06:00] ---
Purely proximity, huh?
[06:07] ---
So... About that favor I wanted to ask...
[06:11] ---
Yeah.
[06:13] ---
Actually...
[06:17] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[06:22] ---
Kohei Makino, a second-year in high school.
[06:25] ---
So you're classmates with Mana?
[06:27] ---
Yes.
[06:29] ---
What's your relationship?
[06:31] ---
Well...
[06:32] ---
We sit right next to each other.
[06:34] ---
Sit next to each other?
[06:36] ---
That's it?
[06:37] ---
Naga--
[06:38] ---
Mana and I've never really spoken at school...
[06:42] ---
That's not true!
[06:44] ---
We've spoken three times...
[06:46] ---
Or was it twice...?
[06:50] ---
Are you familiar with the Venus Program?
[06:53] ---
Yes, the general idea of it.
[06:56] ---
It's a ranking system for idols, right?
[06:59] ---
That's right.
[07:00] ---
Based on various data like popularity,
performance, and audience reaction,
[07:06] ---
an AI makes a judgment and
spits out the numeric data.
[07:10] ---
An AI...?
[07:11] ---
It's an attempt to have idols
compete under equal conditions.
[07:15] ---
It's sounding more like a sports game.
[07:18] ---
We'll be registering idols from our
agency in the Venus Program, too.
[07:22] ---
Mana, too, of course.
[07:26] ---
It's true that we're short-handed.
[07:29] ---
We'll have to hire someone eventually
to keep things running.
[07:32] ---
Since you're in school, you'll be
part-time until you graduate.
[07:36] ---
What? So that means...
[07:38] ---
You're hired.
[07:40] ---
Thank you very much, President.
[07:42] ---
That's too stuffy, just call me Saegusa.
[07:46] ---
To hire you part-time was one of the conditions
to get Mana to sign with us, anyway.
[07:51] ---
--Hey!
--What?
[07:53] ---
We had already decided to hire you.
[07:55] ---
Mr. Saegusa, you promised you wouldn't tell!
[07:59] ---
Oh, yeah?
[08:00] ---
Gosh!
[08:07] ---
Mana, I'm coming in.
[08:09] ---
Okay!
[08:12] ---
It's almost time for rehears--
[08:21] ---
What do you think?
[08:23] ---
It's... all right.
[08:24] ---
Look at me and say it.
[08:26] ---
I am looking.
[08:28] ---
How would you rate me out of 100?
[08:30] ---
Eighty-five...
[08:32] ---
Apparently, not being able to say 100
is the nature of Japanese people.
[08:36] ---
If I rated you 100 already,
what happens when you improve?
[08:41] ---
I, Mana Nagase,
[08:43] ---
will aim to be an idol that can't
be rated on a 100-point-scale!
[08:49] ---
Miss Nagase, it's time for rehearsal!
[08:52] ---
Coming!
[09:45] ---
"Newcomer Award"
[09:58] ---
"Idol Championship"
[10:00] ---
Pretty soon, I'll be a high school graduate.
[10:02] ---
Time flew by quick!
[10:04] ---
Oh, yeah!
[10:05] ---
Let's go for a drive soon!
[10:07] ---
Hey! Don't talk to me right now.
[10:10] ---
I just got my driver's license...
[10:11] ---
Here, say, "ah."
[10:20] ---
We're gonna be even busier after we graduate.
[10:23] ---
So you better brace yourself!
[10:26] ---
You better not forget you said that.
[10:32] ---
Graduate representative, Mana Nagase.
[10:32] ---
"Graduation"
Graduate representative, Mana Nagase.
[10:35] ---
Yes!
[10:38] ---
During my six years attending
Hoshimi Junior High and High School,
[10:42] ---
I've had various encounters.
[10:45] ---
Each encounter contributed to who I am today
and led to my current entertainment career.
[10:50] ---
I am grateful for the open-minded
teachers at this school...
[10:54] ---
Senpai!
[10:55] ---
Congratulations on graduating!
[10:57] ---
Are you staying for the concert?
[10:59] ---
"Mana Nagase Special Concert Stage"
Of course!
[11:01] ---
"Mana Nagase Special Concert Stage"
It's a privilege as a
Hoshimi High School student.
[11:03] ---
Happy graduation, Makino.
[11:06] ---
Congratulations, Mana.
[11:11] ---
Well, I better go!
[11:13] ---
Make sure you watch my last
concert as a high school student!
[11:18] ---
I will.
[11:32] ---
Wow!
[11:37] ---
After graduating high school,
I was promoted from a part-time
[11:42] ---
to a full-time employee at Hoshimi Productions.

[11:48] ---
The 14th Next Venus Grand Prix.
[11:52] ---
Will we be entering it this time?
[11:55] ---
I'll leave that decision to both of you.
[11:58] ---
Why didn't we enter it last year?
[12:00] ---
I deemed it was too early.
[12:03] ---
The Venus Grand Prix is
limited to newcomer idols only.
[12:07] ---
"14TH NEXT VENUS GRAND PRIX
Project Proposal"
If I win, I instantly join
the ranks of top idols.
[12:11] ---
Your current popularity doesn't apply.
[12:14] ---
Every participant starts off
from an equal baseline.
[12:19] ---
It will test your true abilities.
[12:21] ---
Um, I think I'll--
[12:23] ---
--I'll enter!
--What?
[12:25] ---
Let's do this!
[12:26] ---
You are my senior, Haruko!
[12:28] ---
It's our chance!
[12:30] ---
Only by two months...
[12:33] ---
Well, if you are entering...
[12:35] ---
I'll make sure I win, of course!
[12:38] ---
Haruko and I will both participate!
[12:41] ---
What?! What?!
[12:43] ---
M-Mana...
[12:45] ---
Let's do this together!
[12:46] ---
--All right!
--Oh, no...
[12:52] ---
I'm so nervous.
[13:05] ---
Do you have the confidence
to defeat all these rivals?
[13:10] ---
Who do you think I am?
[13:12] ---
Jeez.
[13:14] ---
You haven't changed at all, huh?
[13:17] ---
I can't afford to lose at this point.
[13:18] ---
I want to meet everyone's expectations.
[13:21] ---
For Haruko, who unfortunately lost...
[13:24] ---
For Mr. Saegusa and the staff...
[13:26] ---
And most importantly,
for my fans who support me.
[13:31] ---
You're right.
[13:32] ---
And plus a little for you, too, Makino.
[13:35] ---
I'm just an after-thought, huh?
[13:41] ---
This is as far as I go every time.
[13:46] ---
I can only watch you from here.
[13:49] ---
That's your job right, Makino?
[13:56] ---
Yeah.
[13:57] ---
Plus...
[13:59] ---
You being there...
[14:01] ---
...could be a source of power for me.
[14:04] ---
Here I go!
[14:09] ---

[14:15] ---

[15:00] ---
It's the monumental final round.
[15:03] ---
I wanted you to take me there, Makino.
[15:06] ---
The traffic seems to be bad right now.
[15:08] ---
You better be there for my performance!
[15:11] ---
I'll head over as soon as I finish this errand.
[15:13] ---
All right, then.
[15:15] ---
I won't forgive you for being late,
even if you apologize.
[15:19] ---
Mana.
[15:22] ---
You made it to the final round.
[15:24] ---
You really are amazing.
[15:30] ---
Doing what I said I would is my policy.
[15:33] ---
Have I ever said any lies?
[15:35] ---
Lots of them.
[15:37] ---
Did I really?
[15:41] ---
You better be there no matter what, Makino.
[15:44] ---
If you're not there...
[15:53] ---
I'll be waiting for you.
[15:56] ---
Sorry for the wait.
[16:11] ---
It's true that she said a bunch of little lies.
[16:14] ---
But she never told a big lie.
[16:19] ---
Mana declared that she'd win.
[16:22] ---
Because she did, she really would.
[16:26] ---
That's how it felt.
[16:27] ---
Excuse me!
[16:30] ---
Are you from Hoshimi Productions?
[16:33] ---
Yes, I am.
[16:37] ---
Still nothing?
[16:38] ---
Come on.
[16:39] ---
They're taking too long.
[16:40] ---
It could be part of the performance.

Mana's accidental death became the biggest news
of the year when it reached the press.
[17:12] ---
And so...
[17:13] ---
The final round of the 14th
Next Venus Grand Prix
[17:19] ---
never commenced.

Makino?
[17:32] ---
Makino.
[17:34] ---
Oh, yes?
[17:35] ---
Is that your phone?
[17:39] ---
Yes, thank you for your call.
[17:42] ---
Yes, yes.
[18:19] ---
Being in the industry can make you
develop weird habits.
[18:23] ---
The day of the accident, I thought in the back
of my mind I was being involved in a prank.
[18:30] ---
The day of the final round...
She was sent off by herself...
[18:34] ---
The conditions were perfect.
[18:40] ---
Nothing's changed.
[18:45] ---
The instigator is Mana herself.
[18:48] ---
She'll come out laughing at
my dumbfounded face.
[18:52] ---
I would've been really mad.
[18:56] ---
But...
[18:57] ---
Even then...
[18:59] ---
That would've been...
[19:02] ---
...a lot more...
[19:06] ---
Makino.
[19:15] ---
No way.
[19:17] ---
Makino, over here.
[19:23] ---
Did I surprise you?
[19:27] ---
Mana...
[19:35] ---
Hey... So, it was a prank.
[19:40] ---
Suspicious as always, I see.
[19:42] ---
We've known each other so long,
let's have a little more trust.
[19:47] ---
Then stop doing things to startle me.
[19:51] ---
You're right.
[19:52] ---
Sorry!
[19:54] ---
That day, I met Mana again.
[19:58] ---
This time, as a ghost.
[20:03] ---
"TODAY"
[20:08] ---
Morning!
[20:10] ---
Well, don't you seem fired up?
[20:13] ---
Of course I am.
[20:14] ---
Interview day, was it?
[20:17] ---
What is it?
[20:19] ---
You look more like an interviewee
than an interviewer.
[20:24] ---
Well, excuse me.
[20:25] ---
But I'm three years older now,
[20:28] ---
unlike you.
[20:30] ---
Ghosts don't age!
[20:32] ---
You can still grow mentally.
[20:34] ---
I've been growing, thank you very much.
[20:37] ---
I'm a ghost, so let me take my time.
[20:40] ---
I feel like you're becoming more
and more of a slacker.
[20:43] ---
You used to shine brightly back in the day.
[20:47] ---
You know that's a taboo thing
to say to a popular idol!
[20:51] ---
That was when you were alive, right?
[20:58] ---
Were you doing interviews today?
[21:00] ---
Yes.
[21:01] ---
There may be a great increase in junior idols.
[21:04] ---
I'm happy to hear that.
[21:06] ---
Thank you very much.
[21:08] ---
But it gets me thinking of
my future career, too.
[21:12] ---
I'm sorry that I've been so useless...
[21:15] ---
That's not what I meant.
[21:16] ---
That's right. It's all your fault, Makino.
[21:20] ---
You're failing to bring out Haruko's charms.
[21:23] ---
I agree...
[21:24] ---
Huh?
[21:25] ---
I'm sorry, I was talking to myself!
[21:27] ---
Dummy.
[21:29] ---
I wonder what kind of girls we'll see today.
[21:32] ---
I'm looking forward to it.
[21:36] ---

[01:11] ---
Mana's...?
[01:15] ---
What's the matter?
[01:17] ---
Nothing.
[01:18] ---
You're Mr. Shinji Saegusa, right?
[01:21] ---
You managed my sister from the beginning.
[01:24] ---
So what?
[01:26] ---
Please guide me as you did her.
[01:29] ---
I'm determined to make it through
any harsh training.
[01:32] ---
For this audition, I'm leaving
everything up to this guy.
[01:36] ---
I'm Kohei Makino.
[01:38] ---
I'll be in charge if you pass the audition.
[01:41] ---
You won't be in charge, Mr. Saegusa?
[01:45] ---
Of course we'll take care of you as the agency.
[01:48] ---
But Makino will be your direct manager.
[01:53] ---
First, let me ask you this:
[01:55] ---
Why do you want to become an idol?
[01:58] ---
I'm Mana Nagase's sister.
[02:01] ---
Isn't that enough of a reason?
[02:04] ---
I want to stand at the top of the Venus Program.
[02:07] ---
That's my goal.
[03:43] ---
"Singing"
"Script Reading"
Thank you very much.
[03:45] ---
"Posing"
"Dancing"
Have a seat.
[03:52] ---
I'll judge you on how you judge the auditioners!
[04:00] ---
All right next, ♪4...
[04:04] ---
Yes.
[04:05] ---
I'm ♪4, Kotono Nagase.
[04:07] ---
Nagase...?
[04:10] ---
H-Hey!
[04:13] ---
Why would she leave?
[04:16] ---
What's going on?
[04:18] ---
It's nothing...
[04:20] ---
If you pass, we'll have you
move into the company dorms.
[04:24] ---
Is that all right?
[04:25] ---
I'm able to commute from home.
[04:28] ---
It's our policy.
[04:30] ---
We want you to utilize what you gain
from living with other members
[04:33] ---
and deepening your understanding
for each other.

"Hoshimi Productions
Newcomer Discovery Project"
We're thinking of forming a group
for this upcoming project.
[04:42] ---
My sister was a solo artist.
[04:45] ---
My sister made it all the way to the
Next Venus Grand Prix finals by herself.
[04:50] ---
I'd like to be a solo artist, too.
[04:53] ---
You're...
[04:54] ---
I see.
[04:56] ---
Still, I don't plan to change
anything about this project.
[05:00] ---
If you can't agree to the terms,
[05:02] ---
you're more than welcome to pull out
before the results come in.
[05:06] ---
This concludes today's audition.
[05:08] ---
The results will be mailed out at a later date.
[05:11] ---
Do you have any questions for me?
[05:15] ---
I don't.
[05:21] ---
Excuse me...
[05:22] ---
Miss Haruko, what is it?
[05:24] ---
Wow!
[05:26] ---
Is this a studio?
[05:27] ---
Who is this?
[05:28] ---
She just came into our office,
so I assumed she was an auditioner...
[05:33] ---
She's the last one for the morning half.
[05:36] ---
What's your number?
[05:38] ---
My number?
[05:39] ---
Where am I right now?
[05:42] ---
We're a talent agency.
[05:44] ---
Talent...
[05:46] ---
Like, for idols?
[05:48] ---
That's right.
[05:50] ---
You're the girl from earlier!
[05:52] ---
So, you're going to become an idol?
[05:55] ---
It hasn't been decided yet.
[05:57] ---
The audition just ended.
[05:59] ---
Audition...
[06:01] ---
I see.
[06:02] ---
I'm sorry, it was my misunderstanding.
[06:06] ---
Come on, let's go.
[06:07] ---
Actually... May I audition, too?
[06:12] ---
You're supposed to pass
a screening before that--
[06:15] ---
You.
[06:16] ---
What's your name?
[06:17] ---
Huh?
[06:18] ---
What?
[06:19] ---
It's Sakura Kawasaki.
[06:20] ---
I'm able to tell what's important
and necessary for me.
[06:26] ---
What do you mean by that?
[06:28] ---
My heart lets me know.
[06:30] ---
It directs me to places and to take action.
[06:33] ---
My heart's never let me down before.
[06:37] ---
So, that's why you're here?
[06:39] ---
Yes!
[06:40] ---
My beating heart led me here
and I bumped into her.
[06:44] ---
My heart hasn't stopped pounding ever since!
[06:48] ---
It must be telling me to become an idol!
[06:50] ---
You gotta be kidding me.
[06:52] ---
You have no idea how many girls
are working hard to get into this world.
[06:58] ---
You have no idea how many girls
can't even get a chance...
[07:04] ---
This isn't a world you can enter
with such a ridiculous reason.
[07:07] ---
It's not ridiculous. This is what I believe.
[07:11] ---
I believe in my heart.
[07:13] ---
As she said, the idol world is a severe place.
[07:17] ---
Nowadays, your ability gets
quantified by the Venus Program.
[07:22] ---
There's a clear split between
winners and losers,
[07:24] ---
so you can say it's become
as harsh as ever.
[07:26] ---
We're doing this audition to judge whether you
got what it takes to survive in such a world.
[07:32] ---
Even if you sign with us, there's
no guarantee that you will succeed.
[07:36] ---
Now, do you still want to audition?
[07:39] ---
Yes!
[07:40] ---
So what can you do?
[07:45] ---
I can sing!
[07:47] ---
Will you sing for us now?
[07:49] ---
Yes!

Oh my goodness.
[08:37] ---
You sounded just like Mana.
[08:40] ---
I wasn't good at singing when I was little.
[08:44] ---
But one day, I woke up, being able to sing!
[08:48] ---
Yeah, I know.
[08:51] ---
Makino?
[08:54] ---
Why did you run off like that earlier?
[08:57] ---
Seeing Kotono surprised me.
[09:00] ---
Still...
[09:02] ---
I wasn't expecting it.
[09:04] ---
And...
[09:05] ---
When I think about how much grief
I put her through...
[09:10] ---
I felt too ashamed...
[09:14] ---
But I never thought Kotono
would aim to become an idol.
[09:18] ---
She's matured a lot since I last saw her, too.
[09:22] ---
--But you came back to check on her anyway...
[09:24] ---
--It's not like that.
--But you came back to check on her anyway...
[09:26] ---
I wanted to leave Kotono up to you, Makino.
[09:30] ---
But then I heard that girl's singing...
[09:32] ---
Sakura Kawasaki's?
[09:34] ---
Yup. It got me really curious...
[09:37] ---
So I came back.
[09:39] ---
I thought her singing sounded a lot like yours.
[09:42] ---
Really? I can't tell myself.
[09:47] ---
You knew about Kotono and didn't tell me.
[09:51] ---
You're the one who chose
not to look at the resumes.
[09:54] ---
Still...
[09:56] ---
Mana's biological sister and a
mysterious girl with Mana's voice...
[10:01] ---
So what's your verdict?
[10:02] ---
I bet you're getting a kick
out of this, Mr. Saegusa.
[10:07] ---
You're the one responsible.
[10:09] ---
Yes.

Makino used to be Mana's assistant manager.
[11:05] ---
What?
[11:06] ---
Mana's the one who brought Makino here, right?
[11:10] ---
She did?
[11:11] ---
Well, it's a long story...
[11:14] ---
It just so happened that we sat next to
each other in class, so it was easy to ask.
[11:18] ---
Um... Kotono's sister... Is it by any chance...?
[11:22] ---
Yeah, I'll explain later.
[11:25] ---
Now, I'll give you both a tour of the office.
[11:28] ---
You can leave your things there.
[11:29] ---
Okay!
[11:45] ---
So that's the story.
[11:47] ---
Kotono is Mana's...!
[11:50] ---
Anyway, I heard about your
health condition from your parents...
[11:53] ---
Yes.
[12:09] ---
I give up!
[12:14] ---
I'm no good at all.
[12:16] ---
You never break out of the pose.
It's impressive, Kotono!
[12:19] ---
I do basic training regularly.
[12:22] ---
I see!
[12:23] ---
As for me...
[12:25] ---
I was never the athletic type.
[12:28] ---
Do you think you can really make it like that?
[12:31] ---
Yup!
[12:32] ---
I believe in what I felt in my heart that day.
[12:38] ---
Did they tell you about me?
[12:40] ---
Yup, from Mr. Makino.
[12:43] ---
What did you think?
[12:45] ---
I was surprised!
[12:46] ---
Kotono, you're the Mana Nagase--
[12:48] ---
I mean, Miss Mana's little sister.
[12:51] ---
Even I know who she is, when I
don't know much about idols.
[12:55] ---
You sang my sister's song at the audition.
[12:59] ---
Yup! I really like that song.
[13:01] ---
But what a coincidence that this was her agency!
[13:07] ---
If we were to make our debut,
does that make us Miss Mana's juniors?
[13:13] ---
She's not here anymore.
[13:16] ---
Kotono...
[13:18] ---
Your regular lessons will start tomorrow.
[13:21] ---
Yes!
[13:22] ---
And you'll be moving into the dorms soon,
so be prepared.
[13:27] ---
Understood!
[13:28] ---
You'll meet the other members soon, too.
[13:32] ---
I can't wait!
[13:34] ---
Thank you for today!
[13:37] ---
I'm so curious about the other members!
[13:41] ---
Aren't you?
[13:42] ---
Not really.
[13:43] ---
I wanted to be a solo artist originally.
[13:47] ---
I see.
[13:48] ---
Miss Mana was, too, right?
[13:56] ---
Hey, Big Sister...
[13:57] ---
Who are they?
[14:01] ---
Big Sister...?
[14:05] ---
I've decided that I want to be in the industry,
become an idol!
[14:09] ---
That came out of nowhere.
[14:11] ---
It can't be that easy to be--
[14:13] ---
Sure it is!
[14:14] ---
I was scouted by a famous
producer the other day!
[14:19] ---
I'm home.
[14:20] ---
Where's Big Sister?
[14:22] ---
She said it's another late night at work.
[14:29] ---
What? Kotono said that?
[14:30] ---
She thinks your work is getting between you two.
[14:36] ---
Will you come see my performance
at the finals tomorrow?
[14:39] ---
You want me to witness your victory?
[14:41] ---
No, there's a song I want you to hear.
[14:49] ---
Since you became an idol,
[14:51] ---
it's been such a nuisance for me.
[14:53] ---
All they talk about at school is you.
[14:56] ---
People hassle me for your autograph
or a chance to meet you...
[15:00] ---
--Sorry.
--Don't apologize.
[15:04] ---
If this were the case...
[15:21] ---
Yes, this is Nagase.
[15:25] ---
Yes... Yes, I'm her younger sister.
[15:33] ---
What...?
[15:46] ---
A diary...?
[15:56] ---
Big Sister...
[16:00] ---
Kotono!
[16:03] ---
See you later! I'm this way!
[16:06] ---
Can't wait for tomorrow!
[16:09] ---
You don't want me to tell your sister?
[16:11] ---
What?
[16:12] ---
"Your sister has unfinished business,
so she's still lingering around as a ghost"?
[16:18] ---
I would word it a little differently...
[16:21] ---
There's no way you could tell her.
[16:23] ---
Kotono's probably trying
to become an idol for me.
[16:27] ---
She's trying to achieve the thing I left undone.
[16:32] ---
If Kotono's the one who'll take over my dream...
[16:35] ---
I can never be happier.
[16:37] ---
Mana...
[16:38] ---
Since I disappeared,
she got motivated to do this.
[16:42] ---
That's why...
[16:44] ---
If she actualizes my dream for me,
maybe I can finally rest in peace.
[16:49] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[16:51] ---
Field training?
[16:53] ---
Yeah, go get ready.
[16:59] ---
In front of the train station...?
[17:01] ---
That's right.
[17:02] ---
This place...
[17:03] ---
Let's try singing here.
[17:05] ---
What? But there's people around...
[17:07] ---
You'll eventually sing in front
of even more people.
[17:10] ---
It's better to get used to that now.
[17:11] ---
But singing on stage and
singing at a place like this is--
[17:15] ---
The same.
[17:16] ---
The stage isn't something that's provided.
[17:19] ---
Wherever you sing becomes the stage.
[17:24] ---
This is the place where a certain idol
often came to practice singing.
[17:30] ---
Could that "certain idol" be...?
[17:31] ---
I'll do it.
[17:33] ---
Kotono?!
[17:34] ---
I would watch her, too, sometimes.
[17:36] ---
My sister singing here...
[17:41] ---
All right, so let's get singing.
[17:44] ---
I'll be watching from over there.

--Yeah!
[19:18] ---
People called her "that girl after school."
[19:21] ---
You look just like Mana.
[19:24] ---
Y-Yes.
[19:25] ---
I'm her sister.
[19:26] ---
Oh, really?
[19:28] ---
Your singing makes me think of Mana.
[19:32] ---
What?
[19:33] ---
Best of luck to you both!
[19:37] ---
Thank you very much!
[19:40] ---
Does my singing really sound like Miss Mana's?
[19:44] ---
You're not trying to imitate her?
[19:46] ---
I would listen to her songs, but I never
intentionally tried to sound like her.
[19:51] ---
You do sound like her.
[19:53] ---
It's the color... or the feel of your voice.
[19:55] ---
Even I think so, as her sister.
[19:58] ---
Really...
[20:02] ---
Wow, it's big!
[20:04] ---
It used to be some kind of recreation facility.
[20:07] ---
Your things should be delivered already.
[20:11] ---
Oh, Mr. Makino.

I want to introduce them,
so let's gather in the living room.
[20:19] ---
I'm Saki Shiraishi.
[20:21] ---
A third-year in high school.
[20:23] ---
I'm probably the eldest of the members.
[20:26] ---
I'm her sister, Chisa Shiraishi.
[20:28] ---
It's nice to meet you.
[20:30] ---
I am the one and only Suzu Narumiya.
[20:32] ---
The name Narumiya probably rung a bell for you.
[20:35] ---
I am the daughter of the
prestigious Narumiya family.
[20:42] ---
What is with the pathetic reaction?!
[20:45] ---
You can be a little more impressed, you know?!
[20:48] ---
Miss Saki seems more high-class to me.
[20:51] ---
I heard that!
[20:53] ---
I'm Shizuku Hyodo.
[20:56] ---
I'm Sakura Kawasaki, nice to meet you.
[20:59] ---
I'm Kotono Nagase.
[21:00] ---
Nagase? Are you...?
[21:03] ---
I'm her sister.
[21:04] ---
I see.
[21:05] ---
You look like her.
[21:07] ---
Huh? What is it?
[21:09] ---
Go ahead and pick an open room.
[21:11] ---
The room next to me should be open, too.
[21:19] ---
What's the matter?
[21:20] ---
Um... Mr. Makino, will you be staying here, too?
[21:23] ---
Yeah, I moved here a little while ago
as sort of a supervisor...
[21:27] ---
All girls can be a little--
[21:29] ---
Um... What's wrong?
[21:36] ---
Huh?
[21:39] ---
Why do I have to stay in a shed?
[21:42] ---
Well, of course!
[21:44] ---
And plus it suits you, Makino.
[21:46] ---
What does that mean?
[21:48] ---
Don't worry, I'll watch over
the girls in the dorm.
[21:51] ---
I don't get it.
[21:53] ---
It seems like it'll be lively
and fun around here.
[21:59] ---
Huh?! What is this?! How do I stop it?
[22:01] ---
What?! Oh, no!
[22:03] ---
Wait! W-W-Wait a minute! Hold on! Please!

[01:18] ---
You're Mr. Shinji Saegusa, right?
[01:21] ---
You managed my sister from the beginning.
[01:24] ---
So what?
[01:26] ---
Please guide me as you did her.
[01:29] ---
I'm determined to make it through
any harsh training.
[01:32] ---
For this audition, I'm leaving
everything up to this guy.
[01:36] ---
I'm Kohei Makino.
[01:38] ---
I'll be in charge if you pass the audition.
[01:41] ---
You won't be in charge, Mr. Saegusa?
[01:45] ---
Of course we'll take care of you as the agency.
[01:48] ---
But Makino will be your direct manager.
[01:53] ---
First, let me ask you this:
[01:55] ---
Why do you want to become an idol?
[01:58] ---
I'm Mana Nagase's sister.
[02:01] ---
Isn't that enough of a reason?
[02:04] ---
I want to stand at the top of the Venus Program.
[02:07] ---
That's my goal.
[03:43] ---
"Singing"
"Script Reading"
Thank you very much.
[03:45] ---
"Posing"
"Dancing"
Have a seat.
[03:52] ---
I'll judge you on how you judge the auditioners!
[04:00] ---
All right next, ♪4...
[04:04] ---
Yes.
[04:05] ---
I'm ♪4, Kotono Nagase.
[04:07] ---
Nagase...?
[04:10] ---
H-Hey!
[04:13] ---
Why would she leave?
[04:16] ---
What's going on?
[04:18] ---
It's nothing...
[04:20] ---
If you pass, we'll have you
move into the company dorms.
[04:24] ---
Is that all right?
[04:25] ---
I'm able to commute from home.
[04:28] ---
It's our policy.
[04:30] ---
We want you to utilize what you gain
from living with other members
[04:33] ---
and deepening your understanding
for each other.

"Hoshimi Productions
Newcomer Discovery Project"
We're thinking of forming a group
for this upcoming project.
[04:42] ---
My sister was a solo artist.
[04:45] ---
My sister made it all the way to the
Next Venus Grand Prix finals by herself.
[04:50] ---
I'd like to be a solo artist, too.
[04:53] ---
You're...
[04:54] ---
I see.
[04:56] ---
Still, I don't plan to change
anything about this project.
[05:00] ---
If you can't agree to the terms,
[05:02] ---
you're more than welcome to pull out
before the results come in.
[05:06] ---
This concludes today's audition.
[05:08] ---
The results will be mailed out at a later date.
[05:11] ---
Do you have any questions for me?
[05:15] ---
I don't.
[05:21] ---
Excuse me...
[05:22] ---
Miss Haruko, what is it?
[05:24] ---
Wow!
[05:26] ---
Is this a studio?
[05:27] ---
Who is this?
[05:28] ---
She just came into our office,
so I assumed she was an auditioner...
[05:33] ---
She's the last one for the morning half.
[05:36] ---
What's your number?
[05:38] ---
My number?
[05:39] ---
Where am I right now?
[05:42] ---
We're a talent agency.
[05:44] ---
Talent...
[05:46] ---
Like, for idols?
[05:48] ---
That's right.
[05:50] ---
You're the girl from earlier!
[05:52] ---
So, you're going to become an idol?
[05:55] ---
It hasn't been decided yet.
[05:57] ---
The audition just ended.
[05:59] ---
Audition...
[06:01] ---
I see.
[06:02] ---
I'm sorry, it was my misunderstanding.
[06:06] ---
Come on, let's go.
[06:07] ---
Actually... May I audition, too?
[06:12] ---
You're supposed to pass
a screening before that--
[06:15] ---
You.
[06:16] ---
What's your name?
[06:17] ---
Huh?
[06:18] ---
What?
[06:19] ---
It's Sakura Kawasaki.
[06:20] ---
I'm able to tell what's important
and necessary for me.
[06:26] ---
What do you mean by that?
[06:28] ---
My heart lets me know.
[06:30] ---
It directs me to places and to take action.
[06:33] ---
My heart's never let me down before.
[06:37] ---
So, that's why you're here?
[06:39] ---
Yes!
[06:40] ---
My beating heart led me here
and I bumped into her.
[06:44] ---
My heart hasn't stopped pounding ever since!
[06:48] ---
It must be telling me to become an idol!
[06:50] ---
You gotta be kidding me.
[06:52] ---
You have no idea how many girls
are working hard to get into this world.
[06:58] ---
You have no idea how many girls
can't even get a chance...
[07:04] ---
This isn't a world you can enter
with such a ridiculous reason.
[07:07] ---
It's not ridiculous. This is what I believe.
[07:11] ---
I believe in my heart.
[07:13] ---
As she said, the idol world is a severe place.
[07:17] ---
Nowadays, your ability gets
quantified by the Venus Program.
[07:22] ---
There's a clear split between
winners and losers,
[07:24] ---
so you can say it's become
as harsh as ever.
[07:26] ---
We're doing this audition to judge whether you
got what it takes to survive in such a world.
[07:32] ---
Even if you sign with us, there's
no guarantee that you will succeed.
[07:36] ---
Now, do you still want to audition?
[07:39] ---
Yes!
[07:40] ---
So what can you do?
[07:45] ---
I can sing!
[07:47] ---
Will you sing for us now?
[07:49] ---
Yes!

Oh my goodness.
[08:37] ---
You sounded just like Mana.
[08:40] ---
I wasn't good at singing when I was little.
[08:44] ---
But one day, I woke up, being able to sing!
[08:48] ---
Yeah, I know.
[08:51] ---
Makino?
[08:54] ---
Why did you run off like that earlier?
[08:57] ---
Seeing Kotono surprised me.
[09:00] ---
Still...
[09:02] ---
I wasn't expecting it.
[09:04] ---
And...
[09:05] ---
When I think about how much grief
I put her through...
[09:10] ---
I felt too ashamed...
[09:14] ---
But I never thought Kotono
would aim to become an idol.
[09:18] ---
She's matured a lot since I last saw her, too.
[09:22] ---
--But you came back to check on her anyway...
[09:24] ---
--It's not like that.
--But you came back to check on her anyway...
[09:26] ---
I wanted to leave Kotono up to you, Makino.
[09:30] ---
But then I heard that girl's singing...
[09:32] ---
Sakura Kawasaki's?
[09:34] ---
Yup. It got me really curious...
[09:37] ---
So I came back.
[09:39] ---
I thought her singing sounded a lot like yours.
[09:42] ---
Really? I can't tell myself.
[09:47] ---
You knew about Kotono and didn't tell me.
[09:51] ---
You're the one who chose
not to look at the resumes.
[09:54] ---
Still...
[09:56] ---
Mana's biological sister and a
mysterious girl with Mana's voice...
[10:01] ---
So what's your verdict?
[10:02] ---
I bet you're getting a kick
out of this, Mr. Saegusa.
[10:07] ---
You're the one responsible.
[10:09] ---
Yes.

Thank you!

Makino used to be Mana's assistant manager.
[11:05] ---
What?
[11:06] ---
Mana's the one who brought Makino here, right?
[11:10] ---
She did?
[11:11] ---
Well, it's a long story...
[11:14] ---
It just so happened that we sat next to
each other in class, so it was easy to ask.
[11:18] ---
Um... Kotono's sister... Is it by any chance...?
[11:22] ---
Yeah, I'll explain later.
[11:25] ---
Now, I'll give you both a tour of the office.
[11:28] ---
You can leave your things there.
[11:29] ---
Okay!
[11:45] ---
So that's the story.
[11:47] ---
Kotono is Mana's...!
[11:50] ---
Anyway, I heard about your
health condition from your parents...
[11:53] ---
Yes.
[12:09] ---
I give up!
[12:14] ---
I'm no good at all.
[12:16] ---
You never break out of the pose.
It's impressive, Kotono!
[12:19] ---
I do basic training regularly.
[12:22] ---
I see!
[12:23] ---
As for me...
[12:25] ---
I was never the athletic type.
[12:28] ---
Do you think you can really make it like that?
[12:31] ---
Yup!
[12:32] ---
I believe in what I felt in my heart that day.
[12:38] ---
Did they tell you about me?
[12:40] ---
Yup, from Mr. Makino.
[12:43] ---
What did you think?
[12:45] ---
I was surprised!
[12:46] ---
Kotono, you're the Mana Nagase--
[12:48] ---
I mean, Miss Mana's little sister.
[12:51] ---
Even I know who she is, when I
don't know much about idols.
[12:55] ---
You sang my sister's song at the audition.
[12:59] ---
Yup! I really like that song.
[13:01] ---
But what a coincidence that this was her agency!
[13:07] ---
If we were to make our debut,
does that make us Miss Mana's juniors?
[13:13] ---
She's not here anymore.
[13:16] ---
Kotono...
[13:18] ---
Your regular lessons will start tomorrow.
[13:21] ---
Yes!
[13:22] ---
And you'll be moving into the dorms soon,
so be prepared.
[13:27] ---
Understood!
[13:28] ---
You'll meet the other members soon, too.
[13:32] ---
I can't wait!
[13:34] ---
Thank you for today!
[13:37] ---
I'm so curious about the other members!
[13:41] ---
Aren't you?
[13:42] ---
Not really.
[13:43] ---
I wanted to be a solo artist originally.
[13:47] ---
I see.
[13:48] ---
Miss Mana was, too, right?
[13:56] ---
Hey, Big Sister...
[13:57] ---
Who are they?
[14:01] ---
Big Sister...?
[14:05] ---
I've decided that I want to be in the industry,
become an idol!
[14:09] ---
That came out of nowhere.
[14:11] ---
It can't be that easy to be--
[14:13] ---
Sure it is!
[14:14] ---
I was scouted by a famous
producer the other day!
[14:19] ---
I'm home.
[14:20] ---
Where's Big Sister?
[14:22] ---
She said it's another late night at work.
[14:29] ---
What? Kotono said that?
[14:30] ---
She thinks your work is getting between you two.
[14:36] ---
Will you come see my performance
at the finals tomorrow?
[14:39] ---
You want me to witness your victory?
[14:41] ---
No, there's a song I want you to hear.
[14:49] ---
Since you became an idol,
[14:51] ---
it's been such a nuisance for me.
[14:53] ---
All they talk about at school is you.
[14:56] ---
People hassle me for your autograph
or a chance to meet you...
[15:00] ---
--Sorry.
--Don't apologize.
[15:04] ---
If this were the case...
[15:21] ---
Yes, this is Nagase.
[15:25] ---
Yes... Yes, I'm her younger sister.
[15:33] ---
What...?
[15:46] ---
A diary...?
[15:56] ---
Big Sister...
[16:00] ---
Kotono!
[16:03] ---
See you later! I'm this way!
[16:06] ---
Can't wait for tomorrow!
[16:09] ---
You don't want me to tell your sister?
[16:11] ---
What?
[16:12] ---
"Your sister has unfinished business,
so she's still lingering around as a ghost"?
[16:18] ---
I would word it a little differently...
[16:21] ---
There's no way you could tell her.
[16:23] ---
Kotono's probably trying
to become an idol for me.
[16:27] ---
She's trying to achieve the thing I left undone.
[16:32] ---
If Kotono's the one who'll take over my dream...
[16:35] ---
I can never be happier.
[16:37] ---
Mana...
[16:38] ---
Since I disappeared,
she got motivated to do this.
[16:42] ---
That's why...
[16:44] ---
If she actualizes my dream for me,
maybe I can finally rest in peace.
[16:49] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[16:51] ---
Field training?
[16:53] ---
Yeah, go get ready.
[16:59] ---
In front of the train station...?
[17:01] ---
That's right.
[17:02] ---
This place...
[17:03] ---
Let's try singing here.
[17:05] ---
What? But there's people around...
[17:07] ---
You'll eventually sing in front
of even more people.
[17:10] ---
It's better to get used to that now.
[17:11] ---
But singing on stage and
singing at a place like this is--
[17:15] ---
The same.
[17:16] ---
The stage isn't something that's provided.
[17:19] ---
Wherever you sing becomes the stage.
[17:24] ---
This is the place where a certain idol
often came to practice singing.
[17:30] ---
Could that "certain idol" be...?
[17:31] ---
I'll do it.
[17:33] ---
Kotono?!
[17:34] ---
I would watch her, too, sometimes.
[17:36] ---
My sister singing here...
[17:41] ---
All right, so let's get singing.
[17:44] ---
I'll be watching from over there.

--Yeah!
[19:18] ---
People called her "that girl after school."
[19:21] ---
You look just like Mana.
[19:24] ---
Y-Yes.
[19:25] ---
I'm her sister.
[19:26] ---
Oh, really?
[19:28] ---
Your singing makes me think of Mana.
[19:32] ---
What?
[19:33] ---
Best of luck to you both!
[19:37] ---
Thank you very much!
[19:40] ---
Does my singing really sound like Miss Mana's?
[19:44] ---
You're not trying to imitate her?
[19:46] ---
I would listen to her songs, but I never
intentionally tried to sound like her.
[19:51] ---
You do sound like her.
[19:53] ---
It's the color... or the feel of your voice.
[19:55] ---
Even I think so, as her sister.
[19:58] ---
Really...
[20:02] ---
Wow, it's big!
[20:04] ---
It used to be some kind of recreation facility.
[20:07] ---
Your things should be delivered already.
[20:11] ---
Oh, Mr. Makino.
[20:12] ---
Are they...?
[20:14] ---
I want to introduce them,
so let's gather in the living room.
[20:19] ---
I'm Saki Shiraishi.
[20:21] ---
A third-year in high school.
[20:23] ---
I'm probably the eldest of the members.
[20:26] ---
I'm her sister, Chisa Shiraishi.
[20:28] ---
It's nice to meet you.
[20:30] ---
I am the one and only Suzu Narumiya.
[20:32] ---
The name Narumiya probably rung a bell for you.
[20:35] ---
I am the daughter of the
prestigious Narumiya family.
[20:42] ---
What is with the pathetic reaction?!
[20:45] ---
You can be a little more impressed, you know?!
[20:48] ---
Miss Saki seems more high-class to me.
[20:51] ---
I heard that!
[20:53] ---
I'm Shizuku Hyodo.
[20:56] ---
I'm Sakura Kawasaki, nice to meet you.
[20:59] ---
I'm Kotono Nagase.
[21:00] ---
Nagase? Are you...?
[21:03] ---
I'm her sister.
[21:04] ---
I see.
[21:05] ---
You look like her.
[21:07] ---
Huh? What is it?
[21:09] ---
Go ahead and pick an open room.
[21:11] ---
The room next to me should be open, too.
[21:19] ---
What's the matter?
[21:20] ---
Um... Mr. Makino, will you be staying here, too?
[21:23] ---
Yeah, I moved here a little while ago
as sort of a supervisor...
[21:27] ---
All girls can be a little--
[21:29] ---
Um... What's wrong?
[21:36] ---
Huh?
[21:39] ---
Why do I have to stay in a shed?
[21:42] ---
Well, of course!
[21:44] ---
And plus it suits you, Makino.
[21:46] ---
What does that mean?
[21:48] ---
Don't worry, I'll watch over
the girls in the dorm.
[21:51] ---
I don't get it.
[21:53] ---
It seems like it'll be lively
and fun around here.
[21:59] ---
Huh?! What is this?! How do I stop it?
[22:01] ---
What?! Oh, no!
[22:03] ---
Wait! W-W-Wait a minute! Hold on! Please!

I'd say we're looking pretty good.
[00:08] ---
We're not stumbling around anymore.
[00:11] ---
We've definitely improved...
[00:13] ---
But compared to LizNoir,
we are still way behind.
[00:16] ---
The disparity is expected.
[00:18] ---
Yeah...
[00:19] ---
But still, we need to surpass LizNoir, right?
[00:24] ---
Huh?
[00:25] ---
Oh? Did I just say something weird?
[00:28] ---
No, not at all.
[00:30] ---
It sounded like something Kotono would say.
[00:33] ---
Y-Yeah you're right.
[00:35] ---
I agree with Sakura.
[00:38] ---
We can put in more enthusiasm
than them, at least.
[00:40] ---
Or else we'll never catch up.
[00:42] ---
I-I agree!
[00:44] ---
But it doesn't mean we need to
blindly increase our training.

[00:51] ---
Yeah.

Yes.
[00:54] ---
How about a different group's choreography?
[00:56] ---
We might discover something new.
[00:57] ---
Any groups you recommend?
[00:59] ---
I know.
[01:02] ---
How are the fledglings doing upstairs?
[01:05] ---
The joint lesson with LizNoir
boosted their motivation quite a bit.
[01:09] ---
As I expected.
[01:11] ---
They were bound to feel something
practicing alongside real idols.
[01:15] ---
Did you foresee this happening?
[01:18] ---
It just turned out this way.
[01:20] ---
But it was good timing.

It's almost time for you to make a move.
[01:24] ---
"Proposal Manager: Kohei Makino"

Yes!
[01:30] ---
Hey, when you made your debut...
[01:43] ---
Bye-bye!
[01:46] ---
Hey!
[01:47] ---
Huh?
[01:48] ---
Can you help me get down from here?
[01:52] ---
Me?!
[01:53] ---
Yup! I was playing with the cat
and didn't notice how high we were.
[01:58] ---
Okay, so... Let me find a ladder or something...
[02:01] ---
Forget that! Just come over here!
[02:09] ---
Ready?
[02:11] ---
Here I come!
[02:12] ---
What?!
[02:18] ---
Light as a feather, right?
[02:22] ---
All righty then.
[02:24] ---
I'm Mei Hayasaka, what's your name?
[02:28] ---
It's Makino...
[02:31] ---
Thanks Mr. Makino!
[02:33] ---
Bye-bye to the girl, too!
[02:35] ---
The girl...?
[02:39] ---
What?!
[04:14] ---
Let's eat!
[04:18] ---
Suzu.
[04:19] ---
Huh?
[04:20] ---
Do you have any material
on idols by any chance?
[04:24] ---
Like Miss Mana's?
[04:25] ---
Yeah, and other idols, too.
[04:28] ---
They'd be useful references from here on out.
[04:30] ---
Of course I do!
[04:32] ---
I have concert material exclusive to fan club
members only and clippings of featured articles!
[04:36] ---
Huh?
[04:37] ---
I'll bring mine, too.
[04:40] ---
Thanks.
[04:49] ---
Miss Mana is hands down the best!
[04:52] ---
The audience's reaction is incredible.
[04:54] ---
This was when she broke
LizNoir's attendance record!
[04:59] ---
Big Sister...
[05:01] ---
I wonder what kind of lessons Miss Mana took.
[05:05] ---
I would like to know as well!
[05:07] ---
Kotono, you must know, don't you?
[05:09] ---
We didn't really talk about her work at home.
[05:14] ---
Then let's ask Mr. Makino.
[05:16] ---
Before that, I want you all to watch this, too.
[05:30] ---
They're...
[05:32] ---
They are TRINITYAiLE.
[05:35] ---
They've been really popular recently.
[05:38] ---
Their popularity is split with
LizNoir as newcomer idols.
[05:44] ---
Amazing. Compared to us...
[05:46] ---
It's like night and day.
[05:50] ---
That means they're also...
[05:54] ---
Our rivals...
[05:58] ---
Huh? What Mana did for lessons?
[06:01] ---
Yes. We'd like to know as a reference.
[06:04] ---
Well, let's see...
[06:05] ---
She'd do basic training and
sing at the station regularly...
[06:09] ---
And she would work with a professional coach
a few times a week...
[06:13] ---
A professional coach?!
[06:15] ---
Maybe...
[06:16] ---
Could that be it?
[06:17] ---
We would like to take
the same lessons, too!
[06:22] ---
Trust me, I know.
[06:24] ---
I'm in the process of arranging it right now.
[06:27] ---
What else?
[06:28] ---
What else...?
[06:29] ---
Well...?
[06:32] ---
I did take lessons seriously...
[06:35] ---
But before I knew it,
I was already popular.
[06:40] ---
Just give me some time to remember.
[06:42] ---
For now, focus on mastering the basics.
[06:45] ---
--I am curious about everything!
--Yeah.
[06:48] ---
A professional coach.
[06:49] ---
I wonder what it's like.
[06:50] ---
Kotono...?
[06:52] ---
Do you think we can surpass today's LizNoir
[06:55] ---
and TRINITYAiLE if we work harder
than my sister did back then?
[07:00] ---
Please be honest with me.
[07:03] ---
I don't know.
[07:04] ---
They're evolving as idols every day.
[07:07] ---
The fans' expectations are
constantly getting higher, too.
[07:10] ---
But you were all chosen carefully
by Mr. Saegusa and myself.
[07:14] ---
You all have just as much potential as they do.
[07:17] ---
And...
[07:18] ---
And?
[07:21] ---
I'll think about it, too.
[07:25] ---
Please do.
[07:27] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[07:31] ---
A potential new member?
[07:33] ---
Yeah.
[07:34] ---
Kotono prompted me to think about it,
and this vague idea came to me...
[07:39] ---
Our group, right now...
[07:41] ---
"Is missing something."
[07:43] ---
How did you know?
[07:45] ---
Who do you think I am?
[07:48] ---
The balance of the members isn't too bad.
[07:51] ---
They've been clearing every criterion
on their path to make their debut.
[07:54] ---
It's just that...
[07:55] ---
"They're too perfect"?
[07:57] ---
You think so, too?
[08:00] ---
I don't feel any kind of
anxiety watching them.
[08:03] ---
While that's a good thing,
[08:05] ---
the popular idols I knew
[08:08] ---
would all somehow keep
everyone in suspense.
[08:11] ---
It all started with you, you know?
[08:12] ---
What?
[08:14] ---
A little erratic...
[08:16] ---
Huh?
[08:17] ---
What is it?
[08:18] ---
I felt that feeling somewhere recently...
[08:22] ---
Oh, yeah.
[08:25] ---
Are you about to scout
that girl from the other day?
[08:27] ---
I haven't decided yet, but I thought
it wouldn't hurt to see her again.
[08:32] ---
Do you really think she'd
conveniently be at the same--
[08:35] ---
There she is.
[08:38] ---
Hey!
[08:39] ---
Huh?
[08:41] ---
Mr. Makino!
[08:42] ---
Playing with a cat again?
[08:44] ---
Nope!
[08:45] ---
Today it's something even more impressive!
[08:47] ---
Come on Mr. Makino, I'll show you!
[08:54] ---
Whoa.
[08:55] ---
Be careful, it's dangerous.
[08:57] ---
So, what's there to see?
[09:00] ---
That!
[09:16] ---
Pretty cool, right?
[09:17] ---
Yeah, do you know her?
[09:19] ---
Nope.
[09:20] ---
--Never spoken to her.
--What?
[09:23] ---
But I do know her name!
[09:25] ---
It's Rei Ichinose!
[09:28] ---
Rei Ichinose...
[09:30] ---
I heard she won the high school
dance competition.
[09:35] ---
She amazes me so much,
[09:37] ---
so I watch her all the time.
[09:39] ---
All the time?
[09:40] ---
Yup!
[09:42] ---
Hey, be careful!
[09:44] ---
I'm totally fine!
[09:45] ---
I've got a great sense of balance.
[09:49] ---
I wonder if I'd be able to
dance like her if I practiced.
[09:53] ---
Do you like to dance?
[09:57] ---
Yeah!
[09:58] ---
It makes me feel like
[09:59] ---
I can become something sparkly!
[10:06] ---
Miss Mei Hayasaka.
[10:07] ---
What's up?
[10:08] ---
--You might be surprised at the sudden--
[10:09] ---
--Hello? Is this the police?
--You might be surprised at the sudden--
[10:13] ---
Yes.
[10:14] ---
A suspicious man is speaking to a girl wearing
a school uniform on top of the wall.
[10:17] ---
That's not good!
[10:18] ---
Huh?
[10:20] ---
Hey! Wait up!
[10:26] ---
Did she report you?
[10:28] ---
Most likely.
[10:29] ---
We probably shouldn't be together right now.
[10:31] ---
But you wanted to talk to me, right?
[10:34] ---
You were just about to say something.
[10:37] ---
That's right.
[10:41] ---
Miss Mei Hayasaka.
[10:43] ---
Yes?
[10:45] ---
Would you be interested in becoming an idol?
[10:55] ---
Sure thing!
[10:59] ---
Idoly Pride.
[11:01] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[11:03] ---
A new member...?
[11:06] ---
Yeah.
[11:07] ---
Come on in.
[11:11] ---
Hello there!
[11:12] ---
I'm Mei Hayasaka,
a first-year at Hoshimi High!
[11:15] ---
Good to meet you!
[11:17] ---
Likewise.
[11:18] ---
Nice to meet you.
[11:20] ---
Mr. Makino, may I have a word?
[11:25] ---
What is going on?
[11:26] ---
I was never told about a new member.
[11:29] ---
Because I never said anything.
[11:31] ---
Mr. Makino.
[11:32] ---
Kotono...
[11:34] ---
I said I would think about it, remember?
[11:36] ---
And you came up with adding a new member?
[11:39] ---
To my eyes, I think this group
is still incomplete.
[11:45] ---
Who knows, more members
could be added at any time.
[11:48] ---
Possibly for another...
[11:52] ---
I'm doing my best to figure out
what we're lacking.
[11:57] ---
Are you saying she has something we lack?
[12:00] ---
That's what I thought.
[12:03] ---
Anyway, it's Mei's first day.
[12:06] ---
I'm counting on you all to help her.
[12:08] ---
Will do.
[12:31] ---
Hey, hey!
[12:32] ---
The group name isn't decided yet, right?
[12:36] ---
I came up with a good one!
[12:40] ---
Introducing! Mei Donuts!
[12:44] ---
Why did you choose donuts...?
[12:47] ---
Because I love them!
[12:49] ---
Oh, yeah!
[12:50] ---
I'm moving into the dorms today, too.
[12:53] ---
Maybe I'll move into
the same room as Mr. Makino!
[12:58] ---
Mr. Makino...?
[12:59] ---
No...!
[13:00] ---
C-Come on, Mei.
[13:01] ---
You can't joke like that--
[13:02] ---
Why are you getting all embarrassed?
[13:04] ---
We've already had a date
on top of the wall.
[13:07] ---
A date?
[13:08] ---
No! Wait!
[13:09] ---
What are you calling a date?!
[13:13] ---
Mr. Makino.
[13:14] ---
Yes?
[13:15] ---
May I have a word?
[13:19] ---
Mei was just joking.
[13:20] ---
I know that.
[13:23] ---
She is a cute girl.
[13:25] ---
She's cheerful and has good style.
[13:28] ---
She does seem suited to becoming an idol.
[13:31] ---
Mr. Makino, does this mean
you think we lack those things?
[13:36] ---
No, not at all.
[13:40] ---
I felt it was necessary to change the air.
[13:43] ---
I don't understand.
[13:49] ---
But I think this is what it
means to "change the air."
[13:52] ---
I didn't mean to cause all this tension.
[13:56] ---
Long day?
[13:58] ---
Miss Haruko...
[14:00] ---
How is the new girl?
[14:01] ---
Since it was pretty abrupt,
everyone's a bit flustered.
[14:06] ---
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll
manage to get along soon.
[14:12] ---
I heard it was a wooden structure,
so I assumed it'd be old...
[14:15] ---
But this is nice!
[14:17] ---
What were you imagining?
[14:21] ---
Do you make the food, Nagisa?
[14:24] ---
We all take turns.
[14:26] ---
It's chicken karaage!
[14:28] ---
I love chicken karaage!
[14:30] ---
That's great!
[14:31] ---
I made a lot, so eat up.
[14:33] ---
Will do!
[14:35] ---
All right, make sure
you fill out the profile section.
[14:38] ---
Got it.
[14:40] ---
I'm jealous!
[14:41] ---
The combination of crispy skin and tender meat!
[14:44] ---
The juices flow out when you bite into it!
[14:46] ---
That exactly!
[14:48] ---
Can't wait to eat it!
[14:49] ---
Yeah! What?
[14:51] ---
What?
[14:52] ---
Could it be that... You see me?
[14:55] ---
Yup, sure can!
[14:57] ---
What do you see?
[14:58] ---
Right next to Mr. Makino--
[15:00] ---
Wait! Mei! Come over here!
[15:07] ---
Mei, so...
[15:09] ---
Do you really see her?
[15:11] ---
Sure do.
[15:12] ---
Are you really, really sure?
[15:14] ---
Yup!
[15:15] ---
I really, really do!
[15:19] ---
She really does!
[15:21] ---
I can finally talk to a girl!
[15:23] ---
I'm so happy!
[15:24] ---
Imagine only being able
to talk to this guy for years!
[15:28] ---
Oh, wow.
[15:30] ---
We've run out of topics to talk about.
[15:32] ---
Liar.
[15:34] ---
Hey, can I ask your name?
[15:37] ---
I'm Mana Nagase.
[15:39] ---
You're Kotono's big sister, right?
[15:42] ---
That's right.
[15:43] ---
You both look alike!
[15:45] ---
Why are you able to see Mana, Mei?
[15:49] ---
It's a disposition... that's been
passed down in the family...?
[15:52] ---
Wonder if that's the case with me, too.
[15:56] ---
I doubt it...
[15:59] ---
But anyway, Mei...
[16:01] ---
Could you keep this a secret from everyone?
[16:04] ---
Yup, I know.
[16:06] ---
I would be called a liar all the time.
[16:08] ---
I see...
[16:10] ---
Right.
[16:11] ---
That's what it would mean
to see something others can't.
[16:16] ---
Hey!
[16:17] ---
Does this mean I can pop over all the time now?
[16:20] ---
What?
[16:21] ---
Let's chat about all sorts
of things from here on out!
[16:26] ---
Yeah!
[16:31] ---
The chicken karaage was yummy!
[16:35] ---
Thanks for showing me to the bath, Sakura!
[16:38] ---
Sure thing.
[16:40] ---
We take baths in pairs,
[16:42] ---
and when we're done,
we get the next pair.
[16:44] ---
Gotcha!
[16:45] ---
So Mei, what were you and
Mr. Makino talking about earlier?
[16:51] ---
It's a secret.
[16:52] ---
What? I'm so curious.
[16:55] ---
Oh?
[16:56] ---
Sakura... Your chest...
[16:59] ---
Oh, this?
[17:01] ---
It's a scar from my surgery.
[17:02] ---
Surgery?
[17:04] ---
Yup.
[17:04] ---
But I'm all better now!
[17:07] ---
I see.
[17:12] ---
The bath is open.
[17:13] ---
Okay!
[17:14] ---
All right! Time to go play!
[17:17] ---
Where to?
[17:18] ---
It's a secret!
[17:22] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[17:35] ---
Suzu-nyan! The bath is open!
[17:38] ---
Okay, thank you.
[17:40] ---
Suzu-nyan?
[17:41] ---
I wonder where she's off to?
[17:44] ---
She disappears a lot after the bath.
[17:47] ---
Is she... going out at night?
[17:49] ---
Judging from her attire,
the furthest she'd be is Makino's room.
[17:53] ---
Mr. Makino's...
[17:55] ---
...Room?!
[18:01] ---
--Come on, hurry!
[18:02] ---
--I can hear Mei's voice.
--Come on, hurry!
[18:03] ---
--I can hear Mei's voice.
--Just go with your intuition!
[18:05] ---
--An idol and manager's
secret rendezvous?!
--You can't look anymore!
I can't keep a straight face.
[18:07] ---
--I have read it in novels before!
--You can't look anymore!
I can't keep a straight face.
[18:10] ---
--I wonder what they're doing.
--You can't look anymore!
I can't keep a straight face.
[18:12] ---
--Anyway, this is imprudent.
--Hurry up.
[18:13] ---
--Anyway, this is imprudent.
--I know! Now it's payback!
[18:14] ---
--We need to speak up to Mr. Makino.
--I know! Now it's payback!
[18:18] ---
Is it this one?
[18:20] ---
No, this one!
[18:21] ---
Are you sure about that?
[18:25] ---
--Mr. Makino?
--Huh?
[18:27] ---
Is Mei in your room?
[18:30] ---
No... Wait a minute!
[18:33] ---
Kotono!
[18:36] ---
What's the matter?
[18:38] ---
What are you doing?
[18:40] ---
Um...
[18:41] ---
Mei wanted to know more about Mana,
so I was showing her.
[18:45] ---
Oh, really?
[18:46] ---
Shh.
[18:48] ---
That video!
[18:49] ---
It is the unreleased footage of
Miss Mana's legendary concert!
[18:52] ---
Sh-Shall we all watch it together?
[18:54] ---
Yes, please!
[19:03] ---
Yup! It looks better this way!
[19:05] ---
Your ideas are great, Mei.
[19:08] ---
Incorporating them really makes
the choreography fun.
[19:12] ---
Dancing is something fun in the first place.
[19:14] ---
It's not because of me.
[19:24] ---
Kotono...
[19:29] ---
I feel like I kind of get what you mean
by how Mei changes the air.
[19:34] ---
How so?
[19:36] ---
Before she came,
the lessons felt somewhat tense.
[19:40] ---
But because of her, that's changed.
[19:44] ---
Everyone has been voicing
their opinions more than before.
[19:47] ---
We're all smiling more.
[19:49] ---
That's a good thing.
[19:50] ---
I was the one who caused the tension before.
[19:54] ---
Everyone must've felt my frustration
over wanting to catch up to my sister.
[19:59] ---
That was necessary, too.
[20:02] ---
That tension heightened everyone's awareness.
[20:05] ---
It's not about who's right or wrong.
[20:09] ---
There are times when coming together
makes things better or worse.
[20:13] ---
What do you think I should do?
[20:18] ---
Don't hesitate and push forward
as yourself, Kotono.
[20:22] ---
You're the engine for everyone, Kotono.
[20:27] ---
I am...?
[20:43] ---
This takes me back!
[20:46] ---
My monumental debut concert stage!
[20:48] ---
I'm going to have them start here, too.
[20:52] ---
Sounds good to me.
[20:54] ---
But you're still unsure about something.
[20:56] ---
Yeah.
[20:58] ---
Let me guess.
[21:00] ---
You're unsure who to designate as
the leader--Kotono or Sakura, right?
[21:05] ---
That's right.
[21:06] ---
We've known each other too long,
don't you think?
[21:11] ---
Mana, who would you choose?
[21:14] ---
That's your job, right, Makino?
[21:18] ---
Indeed.
[21:19] ---
But I've got a bit of advice for you.
[21:23] ---
Makino... Have more faith in your intuition!
[21:27] ---
You used to be the manager
for the Mana Nagase.
[21:31] ---
Mana...
[21:32] ---
You've already made up your mind, right?
[21:39] ---
"Raise the Volume More and More"
[21:39] ---
"Raise the Volume More and More"
Yeah.
[21:40] ---
"Raise the Volume More and More"
[23:17] ---
Your debut is set.
[23:20] ---
From here on out, we'll be tailoring
your lessons towards that end.
[23:24] ---
I'll keep you informed about the details.
[23:26] ---
But before that, Sakura...
[23:28] ---
Yes?
[23:30] ---
I'm going to have you leave this group.
[23:38] ---
What...?

[00:02] ---
Leave the group...?
[00:04] ---
That's right.
[00:05] ---
Shizuku, Chisa, you two as well.
[00:08] ---
What?
[00:09] ---
Us, too...?
[00:11] ---
I want the three of you to form a new group.
[00:19] ---
What?!
[01:52] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
I've been thinking for a while now about
how to bring out the best in each of you.
[01:58] ---
Hoshimi Productions will launch two groups--
with Kotono and Sakura as the leaders.
[02:04] ---
I know that everyone may feel
startled over this sudden decision.
[02:07] ---
But I want you to believe in this decision.
[02:10] ---
I'm... the leader?
[02:12] ---
Will you tell us your reasoning?
[02:14] ---
That's...
[02:16] ---
Did you really think we would agree
[02:17] ---
to your unilateral decision
without some sort of justification?
[02:22] ---
We've been working hard all this time together.
[02:25] ---
Are you saying that this group isn't working?
[02:38] ---
Kotono and Sakura, I think each of you
has your own unique strengths.
[02:44] ---
You have to be separated in order for each
of your lights to shine the brightest.
[02:49] ---
Like the moon and sun.
[02:51] ---
The moon...
[02:52] ---
And sun?
[02:54] ---
That's right.
[02:55] ---
The moon and sun exist far from each other.
[02:58] ---
The world of day and night...
[03:00] ---
They bring each other out
because they're separated that way.
[03:03] ---
And each of your lights will illuminate
[03:05] ---
Mei, Suzu, Nagisa, Saki, Chisa,
and Shizuku brilliantly.
[03:12] ---
Quietly... yet vividly.
[03:14] ---
Powerfully and warmly...
[03:20] ---
I regret not coming up
with this idea from the start.
[03:24] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:26] ---
If you've really thought this through,
there's no objection on my part.
[03:30] ---
What?
[03:30] ---
I agree, too!
[03:32] ---
If you think you are too burdened,
I can switch places with you.
[03:36] ---
Suzu...
[03:38] ---
I think they're both suited
to be the leaders, too.
[03:40] ---
Nagisa...
[03:42] ---
Are you two okay with it?
[03:44] ---
Yup.
[03:45] ---
How about you, Chisa?
[03:47] ---
Y-Yup...
[03:50] ---
Okay.
[03:52] ---
Kotono...
[03:55] ---
I believe in you, Mr. Makino.
[03:57] ---
Please make us both shine brilliantly.
[04:01] ---
I will.
[04:02] ---
Hey, so is Sakura's group only three members?
[04:06] ---
Actually, I've scouted a new member.
[04:09] ---
I'll introduce her tomorrow.
[04:11] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[04:13] ---
Come on in, both of you.
[04:20] ---
Hey!
[04:21] ---
A student from our school?
[04:23] ---
I'll be working with you all starting today.
[04:26] ---
I'm Haruko Saeki,
[04:28] ---
I'm 17 years old!
[04:33] ---
I-I'm 17 years...
[04:36] ---
Old!
[04:38] ---
Miss Haruko...
[04:40] ---
What is with that outfit?
[04:42] ---
Well since I'm 17!
[04:43] ---
She is the office worker, is she not?
[04:46] ---
Office worker...?
[04:47] ---
No.
[04:49] ---
She's one of our idols here.
[04:51] ---
I never got popular, though.
[04:53] ---
Weren't you two school grades below my sister?
[04:56] ---
So that would make you... 20?
[04:59] ---
Haruko Saeki... She came up.
[05:01] ---
Only three hits... though...
[05:04] ---
B-But you look great in that uniform!
[05:06] ---
I really thought you were 17!
[05:08] ---
Yeah, you're so cute!
[05:11] ---
Like a real student!
[05:12] ---
Like a real...?
[05:14] ---
Are you done?
[05:15] ---
Y-Yup, go on, take it away.
[05:18] ---
I'm Rei Ichinose, 18 years old.
[05:20] ---
My specialty is dancing.
[05:22] ---
Rei's won first place in the
national dance competition, too!
[05:26] ---
Amazing, right?
[05:28] ---
National competition...
[05:30] ---
How did Mr. Makino scout
such a talented person...?
[05:32] ---
I'm the one who gave him the tip!
[05:34] ---
She would always watch me practice.
[05:38] ---
She's the reason why I met Mr. Makino.
[05:42] ---
Hoshimi Productions?
[05:45] ---
So you represent an entertainment agency?
[05:48] ---
I'm in the middle of forming a new idol group.
[05:52] ---
Idol...?
[05:55] ---
May I join the agency, too?
[06:00] ---
And that's why you're here?
[06:02] ---
Yes.
[06:03] ---
I've seen Rei dance, too.
[06:05] ---
I'd say her ability is impeccable.
[06:07] ---
Miss Haruko's taken lessons
diligently for years, too.
[06:10] ---
So her singing and dancing are at a high level.
[06:13] ---
With the both of them,
Sakura, Chisa and Shizuku...
[06:16] ---
I think the five of you will become a group
[06:19] ---
that illuminates each other's
strengths to the fullest.
[06:22] ---
This five of us, a group?
[06:24] ---
Are you the leader?
[06:26] ---
Yup! I am.
[06:28] ---
I see.
[06:30] ---
I'm here because I heard you
were all aiming for the top as idols.
[06:34] ---
It's great to meet you all.
[06:36] ---
Yup! Glad to have you!
[06:38] ---
--Will you teach me how to dance?
--Will I be able to dance like her, too?
--So it's the five of us now.
[06:40] ---
--I'm looking forward to working with you all.
--Likewise. I'm looking forward to it.
[06:52] ---
Chisa, is something on your mind?
[06:56] ---
You seemed down all day today...
[07:00] ---
Is it because I'm the leader?
[07:02] ---
No, it's not.
[07:04] ---
It's just...
[07:05] ---
It's just?
[07:06] ---
I'm not in the same group
as my sister anymore...
[07:12] ---
And as far as dancing and singing,
I'm behind everyone.
[07:15] ---
I'm worried I won't make it
as an idol by myself...
[07:20] ---
Chisa...
[07:25] ---
You're not by yourself.
[07:26] ---
We're all doing this together!
[07:29] ---
We've got this!
[07:32] ---
I'm here, too...
[07:36] ---
Yeah... Thanks.
[07:41] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[07:44] ---
I am exhausted.
[07:46] ---
I bet you are, Suzu.
[07:48] ---
You were working hard.
[07:50] ---
Yes, while I let Kotono
take the leader position,
[07:53] ---
I have yet to give up on
becoming the center idol.
[07:56] ---
On the day of our debut,
the idol world will be shaken.
[08:00] ---
Suzu Narumiya will shine in Hoshimi City!
[08:04] ---
Then let's first remember the
choreography to make that happen.
[08:08] ---
Right, Kotono?
[08:09] ---
Huh?
[08:10] ---
Oh...
[08:11] ---
Yeah.
[08:13] ---
Suzu, you were sloppy in
a few sections of the dance,
[08:16] ---
so you were out of sync with everyone.
[08:20] ---
What is it?
[08:21] ---
Kotono, you were frowning
all throughout practice.
[08:26] ---
What?
[08:27] ---
Idols are always smiling
when they're singing, right?
[08:30] ---
So you better smile, Kotono!
[08:32] ---
Hey! Mei! Wait!
[08:34] ---
--Oh?
--H-Hey... Q-Q-Quit it...!
[08:34] ---
--Like this? Like this?
--H-Hey... Q-Q-Quit it...!
[08:38] ---
Look at her face!
[08:40] ---
That's a funny face, Kotono.
[08:42] ---
But it's kind of cute.
[08:44] ---
They love it!
[08:46] ---
They love it, Kotono!
[08:47] ---
You should get changed already.
[08:49] ---
Okay!
[09:00] ---
Wow!
[09:01] ---
That's what experience looks like...
[09:04] ---
I've been taking lessons for a while now.
[09:07] ---
But I'm still not as sharp as Rei.
[09:10] ---
Miss Saeki, you have a habit of moving
your limbs first when you move left and right.
[09:15] ---
It would help if you were more
mindful of your body's center.
[09:17] ---
I-I see.
[09:19] ---
Interesting.
[09:21] ---
Miss Kawasaki, you tend to rush the tempo.
[09:23] ---
Miss Hyodo, you've got great rhythm,
but your movements are small.
[09:27] ---
You should make bigger movements.
[09:30] ---
--Yes!
--O-Okay.
[09:32] ---
And Miss Shiraishi.
[09:34] ---
Yes?
[09:34] ---
You tend to lag behind because
you try to follow the others.
[09:37] ---
If you don't dance on the beat,
[09:39] ---
you'll appear out of sync on stage.
[09:41] ---
Y-Yes...
[09:43] ---
Let's try it again.
[09:45] ---
What? Already?
[09:47] ---
Let's not waste any practice
time sitting around.
[09:50] ---
Come on, stand up!
[09:52] ---
Y-Yes!
[09:53] ---
Wow, so strict!
[09:59] ---
Thank you.
[10:01] ---
I appreciate it.
[10:02] ---
Seems like you've gathered quite the characters.
[10:04] ---
Yes.
[10:05] ---
Because I was fortunate to meet them,
[10:07] ---
I was able to set my mind on
separating Kotono and Sakura.
[10:10] ---
Even I was surprised when you said you
were going to split the group in two.
[10:15] ---
I didn't think you would
approve of it so readily, either.
[10:19] ---
Thank you very much.
[10:21] ---
Your vision of the new Hoshimi Productions
idol is beginning to take shape.
[10:27] ---
Yes.
[10:28] ---
Well, if they come together, that is.
[10:31] ---
Right...
[10:33] ---
This is where you show your faith, Makino!
[10:36] ---
Right.
[10:40] ---
Did you make this coffee, Mr. Saegusa?
[10:43] ---
Yeah.
[10:44] ---
It's pretty bitter.
[10:46] ---
Sure is.
[10:51] ---
My body hurts...
[10:53] ---
Let's ice ourselves again.
[10:56] ---
We need to soothe our muscles
that worked so hard.
[10:58] ---
Th-Thank you very much...
[11:01] ---
Is everyone all right?
[11:03] ---
Yup, we're hanging in there.
[11:04] ---
Okay.
[11:06] ---
This is for everyone.
[11:08] ---
There were sections that
weren't mastered yet today,
[11:11] ---
so please review them before our next practice.
[11:14] ---
--What?
--Right... now...?
[11:17] ---
I've got a matter to attend to,
so I'll be leaving now.
[11:20] ---
What? How about dinner?
[11:22] ---
I'll be eating over there,
so please don't worry.
[11:25] ---
I don't think you'll see me
here at night too much.
[11:28] ---
Goodbye.
[11:30] ---
A matter to attend to this late?
[11:32] ---
She's so mysterious.
[11:37] ---
Idoly Pride.
[11:42] ---
How's practice?
[11:43] ---
Huh?
[11:44] ---
Are you able to keep up with everyone?
[11:47] ---
Yeah...
[11:48] ---
I'm okay...
[11:50] ---
Are you sure?
[11:51] ---
Yup.
[11:54] ---
I'm fine. Don't worry about me...
[12:03] ---
Miss Rei, stop! Hold on!
[12:11] ---
We already took a break an hour ago.
[12:14] ---
But we're still not ready to dance
through the whole practice yet.
[12:18] ---
You and I are used to dancing so we're fine,
[12:21] ---
but the others are still beginners,
[12:23] ---
so it could be good to take it a little easier.
[12:26] ---
Will you be saying that on stage, too?
[12:28] ---
What?
[12:29] ---
Will the other idols take it easy on us, too?
[12:34] ---
Once we debut, we're all professionals.
[12:36] ---
That's...
[12:38] ---
I saw the video of the
joint lesson with LizNoir.
[12:41] ---
To be honest, I was shocked
to see where everyone was at.
[12:45] ---
In order to surpass them
starting from this point,
[12:47] ---
I don't think we can afford to take any breaks.
[12:52] ---
Miss Rei...
[12:53] ---
You're able to think like that
because you can actually dance.
[12:59] ---
Chisa...
[13:00] ---
I started out as a beginner myself, too.
[13:04] ---
Then why...
[13:05] ---
How did you come to be like that?
[13:08] ---
I don't give up,
[13:10] ---
I keep practicing,
[13:12] ---
and I don't stop once I start.
[13:15] ---
I'm not able to do the same as you.
[13:18] ---
I was with my sister...
I want to be with my sister...
[13:24] ---
So I don't see myself being able
to do this right now...
[13:29] ---
When you haven't done anything yet?
[13:32] ---
Do you really like idols?
[13:37] ---
Let's call it a day for today.
[13:39] ---
It won't do us any good if we
keep practicing like this.
[13:43] ---
Mr. Makino, is that all right?
[13:45] ---
Yeah.
[13:46] ---
Rei and Chisa, is that all right?
[13:49] ---
That's fine.
[13:50] ---
Yes.
[13:54] ---
If we're done, I'll be excusing myself.
[13:56] ---
What? Will you be late again tonight?
[13:58] ---
Yes... Thank you for today.
[14:08] ---
Chisa and Shizuku, what do you feel like eating?
[14:12] ---
When you feel down, you gotta fill
yourself up with your favorite food!
[14:15] ---
Let's buy it on our way back.
[14:16] ---
Then...
[14:18] ---
Bananas...
[14:19] ---
Mille crepe...
[14:20] ---
Sounds good.
[14:22] ---
How about you, Sakura?
[14:24] ---
Were you thinking about Rei just now?
[14:27] ---
Yes.
[14:28] ---
I'm curious about a lot of things.
[14:30] ---
Like, where does she go after practice?
[14:32] ---
Why does she want to become an idol?
[14:35] ---
Why is she in such a rush?
[14:38] ---
In a rush...?
[14:40] ---
Yup, it's hard to say,
[14:42] ---
but she reminds me of Kotono from before.
[14:44] ---
Maybe Miss Rei also has an
important reason to become an idol.
[14:50] ---
An important reason...?
[14:53] ---
"Food
Super Market”
[14:55] ---
What should I get?
[14:56] ---
Thank you very much.
[14:57] ---
Next customer, please!
[15:00] ---
Thank you for waiting.
[15:02] ---
Would you like a bag?
[15:04] ---
Oh my gosh, could that be...?
[15:06] ---
It's pretty clear.
[15:08] ---
It's Miss Rei.
[15:09] ---
Miss Rei has a part-time job?!
[15:13] ---
One daikon radish and three onions.
[15:16] ---
The total comes out to...
[15:18] ---
What?!
[15:19] ---
E-Excuse me.
[15:21] ---
Your total comes out to 104,700 yen.
[15:24] ---
...100,000 yen?!
[15:26] ---
I-I'm very sorry!
[15:31] ---
I can't believe you were working part-time
at a supermarket so close to us.
[15:36] ---
I started right before I moved into the dorms.
[15:39] ---
I'm usually working in the back,
[15:42] ---
but I've been put on
cashier duty starting today.
[15:45] ---
I didn't expect to be caught on the same day.
[15:49] ---
Why were you hiding this?
[15:50] ---
I didn't want you all to worry about me.
[15:54] ---
What... do you mean?
[15:58] ---
Tell us why.
[16:00] ---
I want to know more about you, Miss Rei.
[16:02] ---
We're in a group together!
[16:06] ---
Okay.
[16:08] ---
To be honest, initially,
I didn't want to become an idol.
[16:13] ---
I don't have any dreams of becoming one, either.
[16:16] ---
Really...?
[16:18] ---
I've loved dancing all my life.
[16:20] ---
And I've dreamed of making it my profession.
[16:24] ---
But my parents wouldn't approve of it.
[16:27] ---
Even when you won the dance competition?!
[16:29] ---
If I go off the path they set for me,
they won't be happy.
[16:34] ---
My parents won't approve,
no matter how well I dance.
[16:38] ---
But if I reach the top as an idol
and get the public's approval,
[16:41] ---
even they would have to approve.
[16:43] ---
That's why I decided to become an idol.
[16:46] ---
But since I left the house like that,
[16:50] ---
I can't get any support from them,
nor will I accept any.
[16:53] ---
That's why I started working here.
[16:56] ---
I see...
[16:57] ---
I'm going to go back since
my break is about to end.
[17:01] ---
Okay!
[17:02] ---
Good luck!
[17:04] ---
That's amazing...
[17:06] ---
I would've given up already if I were her.
[17:09] ---
I'm so full of fear right now...
[17:12] ---
Chisa...
[17:14] ---
I'm sure Rei is scared, too.
[17:18] ---
There's no guarantee that she will succeed.
[17:21] ---
That's why she practices so much.
[17:24] ---
Over and over again, to vanish those fears.
[17:27] ---
Fears...
[17:34] ---
Sakura?
[17:36] ---
Morning, Kotono!
[17:38] ---
I saw Mr. Makino leave just a moment ago.
[17:41] ---
He was in a suit, so it must be work.
[17:44] ---
But it's the weekend! How tough...
[17:47] ---
Was something on your mind?
[17:50] ---
It just seemed like it...
[17:53] ---
Yup.
[17:54] ---
Will you lend me an ear?
[17:58] ---
Miss Ichinose and Chisa, huh?
[18:00] ---
Yup.
[18:01] ---
Miss Rei seems so busy, so I haven't
been able to talk to her too much.
[18:05] ---
I'm not sure what to do.
[18:07] ---
Saki's worried about Chisa, too.
[18:10] ---
She seems to have her mind set
[18:11] ---
on not interfering in matters
of the other group, though.
[18:14] ---
Oh, really?
[18:16] ---
She's not present during practice at times.
[18:19] ---
That leaves only Nagisa and me as the ones
who have to keep a handle on Mei,
[18:21] ---
so it's been a challenge.
[18:23] ---
You've been doing that, Kotono?
[18:25] ---
Why are you so surprised?
[18:28] ---
Because...
[18:29] ---
You're thinking that it's unlike me, right?
[18:32] ---
Sorry.
[18:34] ---
I am the leader, after all...
[18:36] ---
It's scary, but I need to do my best.
[18:39] ---
I see.
[18:41] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[18:45] ---
I've gotta do my best, too!
[19:00] ---
Everyone!
[19:02] ---
Come see this!
[19:09] ---
Right? Isn't it amazing?!
[19:11] ---
This flower...
[19:12] ---
It's the nemophila.
[19:15] ---
But was it necessary to interrupt
practice to come see this?
[19:19] ---
Yup, this is really important for us.
[19:22] ---
Now, here's a question!
[19:24] ---
What is the flower language
behind the nemophila?
[19:27] ---
Flower language...?
[19:29] ---
"Success everywhere"...
[19:32] ---
That's right! Those are just the words
we need, don't you think?
[19:36] ---
Success... everywhere...
[19:39] ---
You're right.
[19:40] ---
When you see them in full bloom like this,
it feels really encouraging!
[19:48] ---
Miss Rei, I'm sorry about yesterday.
[19:51] ---
What?
[19:52] ---
I gave up and told myself I couldn't do it
before I even tried to work hard like you.
[19:58] ---
But I know I can't keep this up, either.
[20:01] ---
So, will you keep teaching me about dance?
[20:05] ---
Miss Chisa...
[20:07] ---
B-B-But Miss Rei...
[20:10] ---
Will you be a little less strict...?
[20:12] ---
Please...
[20:16] ---
I agree.
[20:17] ---
Rei can be a little scary during practice.
[20:19] ---
Spartan style... Demon coach.
[20:22] ---
The pressure is immense.
[20:23] ---
What?
[20:25] ---
See? That pressure.
[20:26] ---
Yup, yup, yup, yup...
[20:28] ---
Oh, yeah!
[20:29] ---
You think so, too, Miss Kawasaki?
[20:32] ---
I know!
[20:33] ---
Let's stop being formal, too.
[20:35] ---
It feels like it creates a little distance.
[20:37] ---
But...
[20:39] ---
I agree!
[20:40] ---
You can all call me "Haruko" from now on!
[20:44] ---
What? But Miss Haruko, you're our senior...
[20:46] ---
No, I'm your fellow!
[20:48] ---
--But...
--Just call me "Haruko"!
[20:50] ---
H-Haruko!
[20:53] ---
There you go!
[20:54] ---
Go on, the rest of you!
[20:56] ---
What...?
[20:57] ---
That's a bit...
[20:58] ---
But why?!
[21:03] ---
Okay.
[21:05] ---
Sakura.
[21:06] ---
Shizuku.
[21:08] ---
Chisa.
[21:09] ---
Miss Haruko.
[21:10] ---
Was that okay?
[21:13] ---
Yeah!
[21:15] ---
What?
[21:16] ---
Isn't it weird that I'm the only one
addressed with "Miss"?
[21:18] ---
I can't bring myself to
address my senior without it.
[21:21] ---
What?
[21:22] ---
--Sakura, do something!
[21:24] ---
--What?!
--Sakura, do something!
[21:25] ---
--Is it my fault?
--Sakura, do something!
[21:26] ---
Hey, Chisa and Shizuku!
[23:01] ---
Mr. Makino, we're ready!
[23:03] ---
All right.
[23:05] ---
Hey! There you are!
What are you doing?!
[23:09] ---
A group photo?
[23:10] ---
Nice!
[23:13] ---
I wanna be in it, too!
[23:15] ---
Mei, wait!
[23:16] ---
Don't get in the way!
[23:19] ---
I am sure you want me in the center, right?
[23:22] ---
Suzu, not you, too.
[23:23] ---
It's fine!
[23:24] ---
Let's all take one together!
[23:26] ---
Gosh.
[23:34] ---
All right, ready?

"Hoshimi Productions"
Are we all here?
[00:09] ---
Why did you have us gather before practice?
[00:13] ---
Be calm and just listen.
[00:20] ---
Our debut concert is set!
[00:25] ---
What? Huh?
[00:27] ---
They don't seem too excited.
[00:29] ---
Debut...
[00:31] ---
Our...
[00:33] ---
Kotono...
[00:36] ---
When is it?
[02:09] ---
The debut concert will be held
on the special stage
[02:11] ---
at the Hoshimi Festival,
one of Hoshimi City's biggest events.
[02:14] ---
"Hoshimi Festival"
That's where Mana had her debut concert.
[02:17] ---
"Hoshimi Festival"
Yes.
[02:20] ---
I'll give you the debut song recording
and choreography video.
[02:23] ---
We'll have you start real lessons with a
professional coach at a studio in the city.
[02:27] ---
Make sure you familiarize yourself
with the song and dance until then.
[02:33] ---
This is the legendary studio
that fostered Miss Mana!
[02:36] ---
"Legendary" is an exaggeration.
[02:38] ---
But it's a famous studio where
[02:41] ---
LizNoir and TRINITYAiLE take lessons, too.
[02:45] ---
We were able to focus on
basic training until now,
[02:48] ---
but from here on out,
you'll be busier than ever.
[02:52] ---
And we'll also enter the Venus Program.
[02:56] ---
The Venus Program...
[02:58] ---
An idol ranking system based on AI judgments.
[03:02] ---
That's right.
[03:03] ---
Once you make a debut,
experience and career make no difference.
[03:07] ---
Do you think you're ready?
[03:09] ---
Yes!
[03:11] ---
Let's go, everyone.
[03:15] ---
I'm Nomoto and I'll be
training you all starting today.
[03:19] ---
Nice to meet you!
[03:20] ---
Thank you very much!
[03:22] ---
Are you Mana's younger sister?
[03:24] ---
Yes.
[03:25] ---
I see...
[03:26] ---
Good luck.
[03:29] ---
Yes!
[03:31] ---
All right! Now, let's start out
with stretches, shall we?
[03:34] ---
What? Already?
[03:36] ---
Come on!
[03:38] ---
Don't waste the limited time we have.
[03:40] ---
Yes!
[03:45] ---
Now,
[03:46] ---
let's get started with the interview.
[03:49] ---
Y-Yes!
[03:50] ---
Th-Thank you vewy mu-- Oh!
[03:53] ---
Very much!
[03:53] ---
Try to relax, everyone.
[03:56] ---
I love their fresh energy.
[03:58] ---
But Miss Haruko Saeki, I heard you are
the experienced one of the group.
[04:02] ---
Yes.
[04:03] ---
I used to be a solo artist.
[04:06] ---
With the formation of the group,
I'm turning over a new leaf.
[04:09] ---
I'll be working hard as if I'm a newcomer again,
so I'd love everyone's support!
[04:13] ---
So eloquent.
[04:14] ---
Haruko, that was impressive!
[04:16] ---
Truly.
[04:22] ---
Hey! How did your dance lesson go?
[04:24] ---
What was your coach like?
[04:27] ---
Suzu is trembling with fear...
[04:29] ---
What? She's that scary?
[04:32] ---
It is no wonder that she trained Miss Mana.
[04:35] ---
There's no need to worry.
[04:38] ---
She may be strict, but she's very thorough.
[04:41] ---
The coach needs to be strict--
so we can catch up to Miss Mana.
[04:45] ---
Plus...
[04:47] ---
It's a lot of fun.
[04:48] ---
Huh?
[04:50] ---
I get to really see how much we've progressed.
[04:54] ---
What is it?
[04:55] ---
Oh, no, um...
[04:57] ---
We all got surprised when the words "it's fun"
came out of your mouth, Kotono.
[05:01] ---
I didn't think I said anything weird...
[05:04] ---
That's great.
[05:05] ---
I can't wait to take our lessons!
[05:07] ---
How did the interview go with you all?
[05:09] ---
I got nervous and fumbled a lot.
[05:12] ---
I don't remember... what I said...
[05:15] ---
How about you, Rei?
[05:17] ---
Did you speak well?
[05:20] ---
I'm not sure if I spoke well,
[05:22] ---
but I've done interviews
at dance competitions, too.
[05:25] ---
So, much like dancing, it's all about
practice and getting used to it.
[05:28] ---
We'll be appearing on the radio
to promote our concerts,
[05:30] ---
so now would be the time to practice.
[05:33] ---
Yeah.
[05:35] ---
Radio appearances...
[05:36] ---
Miss Kotono!
[05:37] ---
Share with us your enthusiasm
about the debut concert!
[05:39] ---
What? Um...
[05:41] ---
I won't lose.
[05:42] ---
Against who exactly?
[05:43] ---
Kotono, let's practice together later.
[05:46] ---
Now we're training with a coach...
[05:48] ---
Taking interviews...
[05:50] ---
We're really going to have our debut!
[05:53] ---
Let's pull off our debut concert no matter what!
[05:55] ---
Yeah.
[05:56] ---
Of course.
[05:58] ---
Making our debut is only the first step.
[06:00] ---
What we aim for is beyond that.
[06:02] ---
To reach the top as idols.
[06:04] ---
Let's climb to the top, just like Miss Mana!
[06:06] ---
Hey! Let's do our chant
we made up together yesterday!
[06:09] ---
Good idea!
[06:10] ---
Let's do it!
[06:12] ---
What? Now...?
[06:13] ---
Come on, Kotono!
[06:18] ---
Okay.
[06:23] ---
Everyone ready?
[06:25] ---
Yup.
[06:27] ---
Hoshimi Productions!
[06:29] ---
--Let's!
--Go!
[06:30] ---
--Fight!
--Yeah!
[06:31] ---
Go, go, go, go!
[06:33] ---
Yeah!
[08:17] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[08:52] ---
The victor of today's concert battle is...
[08:55] ---
...TRINITYAiLE!
[09:00] ---
Thank you very much!
[09:10] ---
Congratulations!
[09:11] ---
You had yet another
unparalleled performance today!
[09:14] ---
Thank you very much.
[09:16] ---
It seems like you've got the momentum to surpass
Miss Mana's record-length winning streak.
[09:20] ---
You're headed to become untouchable,
[09:23] ---
but is there an idol out there
you'd like to challenge?
[09:26] ---
Not particularly.
[09:28] ---
But I've got the confidence to beat any idol.
[09:32] ---
What I've been aiming for with
this group since the beginning
[09:34] ---
is to get to the top as idols.
[09:37] ---
Hey, everyone! Thank you all
for all your support today.
[09:41] ---
We look forward to your support again!
[09:45] ---
Rui, you were so cool today!
[09:47] ---
You come off strong as usual, though.
[09:49] ---
I'm only speaking the truth.
[09:53] ---
We'll fly even higher.
[09:55] ---
Isn't that right?
[09:58] ---
Mr. Asakura?
[10:00] ---
Yeah.
[10:01] ---
I've heard about the debut.
[10:03] ---
I don't plan on sending any flowers, though.
[10:06] ---
We'll be facing each other soon.
[10:09] ---
But don't be too hard on us.
[10:12] ---
Don't disappoint me.
[10:14] ---
Hello, President!
[10:16] ---
Is someone going to make their debut?
[10:18] ---
For the first time in four years
from Hoshimi Productions.
[10:21] ---
Hoshimi Productions...
[10:24] ---
If their abilities are real,
[10:25] ---
you'll be fighting against
them, too, eventually.
[10:29] ---
Brace yourselves.
[10:32] ---
Is that all you have to say?
[10:34] ---
You watched our performance, didn't you?
[10:37] ---
We might break Mana Nagase's
undefeated record--
[10:39] ---
So what?
[10:41] ---
You won't be able to catch up to Mana Nagase
[10:44] ---
when you're preoccupied with stupid things.
[10:46] ---
Remember that.
[10:50] ---
Rui...
[10:57] ---
Tomorrow is finally
[10:58] ---
our debut concert!
[11:00] ---
It will be held at the special stage
at the Hoshimi Festival.
[11:03] ---
We hope to see you all there!
[11:05] ---
Boom!
[11:12] ---
Nagisa?
[11:15] ---
Are you okay?
[11:16] ---
Sorry about that.
[11:18] ---
When I think about tomorrow,
[11:21] ---
my mind goes all over the place.
[11:22] ---
What was on your mind?
[11:25] ---
Like, "Will I be able to sing well?"
[11:27] ---
"Will I mess up the choreography?"
[11:30] ---
I'm scared that I'll hold everyone back.
[11:34] ---
I'm very nervous.
[11:37] ---
Why don't we serve the nice black tea today?
[11:39] ---
So we can all relax.
[11:42] ---
Thank you very much.
[11:44] ---
"Night Checklist"
"Help prepare dinner"
"Eat dinner"
"Review choreography and song"
[11:47] ---
Saki!
[11:49] ---
The bath is ready!
[11:50] ---
Okay!
[11:52] ---
What is that?
[11:53] ---
I was putting together a list of things
I need to do before the concert.
[11:57] ---
What? That's amazing!
[11:59] ---
I want to make sure things go as usual,
especially on important days.
[12:02] ---
So I can tell myself:
[12:04] ---
"You're prepared. You've done
everything you can do right now."
[12:11] ---
Chisa, Shizuku.
[12:12] ---
If you overdo it right now,
it'll affect you tomorrow.
[12:16] ---
Just a little more.
[12:17] ---
Please watch us one more time.
[12:21] ---
Be ready for a thorough
stretch session after this.
[12:24] ---
Yes!
[12:33] ---
Tomorrow...
[12:40] ---
Kotono.
[12:43] ---
Sakura.
[12:49] ---
Tomorrow's the day.
[12:50] ---
Yup.
[12:51] ---
Are you nervous?
[12:53] ---
Are you, Sakura?
[12:57] ---
My heart is pounding.
[13:01] ---
I wonder if I am...
[13:04] ---
I've been so eager to have our debut.
[13:07] ---
So thinking that it's tomorrow feels strange.
[13:09] ---
I can't stay calm.
[13:12] ---
When we make our debut,
we enter the Venus Program, right?
[13:16] ---
Then we'll become rivals.
[13:18] ---
What?
[13:19] ---
There's only one spot at the top.
[13:21] ---
As we advance higher,
[13:23] ---
we'll eventually sing on the same stage.
[13:27] ---
When that time comes,
[13:28] ---
I won't lose!
[13:29] ---
Kotono...
[13:32] ---
Oh, sorry.
[13:34] ---
I'm going back inside.
[13:39] ---
Kotono!
[13:42] ---
I'll do my best, too.
[13:44] ---
For us to stand on the same stage.
[13:47] ---
I won't lose, either.
[13:50] ---
Yeah.
[13:58] ---
Rivals, huh?
[14:05] ---
Idoly Pride.
[14:09] ---
"Grill" "Okonomiyaki" "Beer"
[14:11] ---
"Hoshimi Festival"
[14:13] ---
"Special Stage"
It takes me back to the day I made my debut.
[14:16] ---
That was the only day you were
ever obviously nervous.
[14:20] ---
What? I was not.
[14:22] ---
I'm a genius, remember?
[14:23] ---
You were.
[14:25] ---
You put on your costume wrong,
[14:27] ---
and paced back and forth in front of the mirror.
[14:30] ---
And to top it all off, you said you didn't
want to perform at the last minute.
[14:34] ---
Did I really say that?
[14:36] ---
You forget things when it's convenient for you.
[14:38] ---
That's not true.
[14:40] ---
You're remembering things wrong.
[14:42] ---
Are you sure?
[14:43] ---
Well, it doesn't matter either way.
[14:45] ---
That's right!
[14:47] ---
But...
[14:48] ---
I still clearly remember the very
moment you stood on stage.
[14:53] ---
I ran around every day to get things
ready and help with lessons...
[14:57] ---
We thought of different ideas together.
[14:59] ---
We even fought at times, too.
[15:02] ---
But the stress blew away all at once.
[15:07] ---
I want to witness that same moment again.
[15:12] ---
That may be why I still continue to do this job.
[15:19] ---
It's almost time.
[15:34] ---
It's okay.
[15:36] ---
I'm sure it'll go great.
[15:39] ---
Here we go!
[15:40] ---

[20:30] ---
We're Sunny Peace!
[20:32] ---
We're Moon Tempest.
[20:34] ---
We made our joint debut today!
[20:38] ---
We're newcomers so we're inexperienced,
[20:41] ---
but we will all work hard,
[20:44] ---
and motivate each other to continue to grow.
[20:50] ---
And, we'll work hard to aim
for the top as idols.
[20:55] ---
Good luck!
[20:57] ---
I'll be rooting for you!
[21:00] ---
Th-Thank you very much!
[21:02] ---
Suzu Narumiya here!
[21:04] ---
I, Suzu Narumiya of Hoshimi City's
prided Hoshimi Productions,
[21:07] ---
look forward to your support!
[21:08] ---
Suzu, this isn't an election, you know?
[21:11] ---
Should I do my usual greeting, too?
[21:14] ---
I suggest you don't...
[21:17] ---
Sunny P and Moonest!
[21:18] ---
Support them both!
[21:20] ---
Hey... Mei!
[21:22] ---
"Go Rei!"
Rei!
[21:24] ---
"Go Rei!"
We're rooting for you!
[21:25] ---
They're from my job!
[21:28] ---
Come on Rei, wave back to them.
[21:34] ---
Come on, Shizuku. You, too.
[21:36] ---
I'll do... my best!

--Thank you very much!

[21:40] ---
Thank you!
[21:49] ---
Right now...
[21:51] ---
Their light is still small.
[21:55] ---
But Kotono and everyone will surely...
[21:59] ---
Thank you very much!

[00:04] ---
You're tuned in to Radio Fresh Venus Station!
[00:07] ---
Today's guest is Sunny Peace!
[00:10] ---
We're Sunny Peace and we just made our debut
the other day from Hoshimi Productions.
[00:15] ---
Thank you for having us.
[00:17] ---
Sunny Peace, what a nice name.
[00:20] ---
What's its origin?
[00:22] ---
We made our debut together with Moon Tempest,
another group from our agency.
[00:26] ---
So we came up with it together based
on the "sun and moon" concept.
[00:30] ---
You came up with it yourselves?
[00:32] ---
Yes!
[00:33] ---
Wow!
[00:35] ---
As soon as both groups entered
the Venus Program,
[00:38] ---
they have both won
every concert battle so far.
[00:41] ---
That's amazing!
[00:42] ---
You're stirring things up among
the industry folks, you know?
[00:46] ---
We have a concert battle after this, too.
[00:48] ---
According to the information I have here,
[00:50] ---
your next opponent seems like a tough one,
how's your confidence level?
[00:54] ---
Confidence...?
[00:55] ---
Well...
[00:58] ---
Of course.
[00:59] ---
We'll be fighting to win.
[01:01] ---
Please come see us!
[02:36] ---
Now! Rokochan verses up-and-coming
rising star, Sunny Peace!
[02:40] ---
"Rokochan" "Sunny Peace"
[02:42] ---
"Rokochan" "Sunny Peace"
Who's the winner of this round?
[02:44] ---
"Rokochan" "Sunny Peace"
[02:48] ---
Victory goes to Sunny Peace!
[02:52] ---
Yes! We did it!
[02:55] ---
"Moon Tempest"
[02:56] ---
"Moon Tempest"
And the winner is...
[03:01] ---
Moon Tempest!
[03:05] ---
Yay!
[03:19] ---
Great job, everyone!
[03:21] ---
Sakura and them won, too.
[03:24] ---
All right!
[03:24] ---
I'm glad.
[03:26] ---
Please watch us, Miss Mana.
[03:28] ---
Our future!
[03:30] ---
Catch that?
[03:31] ---
I am watching!
[03:41] ---
Congratulations.
[03:43] ---
Thank you very much.
[03:45] ---
Let's perform together someday.
[03:48] ---
Yes.
[03:49] ---
I look forward to it.
[03:53] ---
I wonder if everyone's back already.
[03:55] ---
They said they'd be back before us.
[03:59] ---
Huh?
[04:03] ---
You're back.
[04:05] ---
What happened?
[04:06] ---
You kept the lights on.
[04:09] ---
We were lying around and
before we knew it, we fell asleep.
[04:16] ---
Sorry.
[04:17] ---
I've got to prepare dinner.
[04:20] ---
Then I'll help out, too.
[04:22] ---
Yay! Dinner...
[04:24] ---
Sakura...
[04:28] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[04:29] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
Great job yesterday, everyone.
[04:32] ---
Congratulations to both groups
for winning the concert battle.
[04:35] ---
Well done.
[04:36] ---
Thank you very much!
[04:39] ---
Now, I've got an announcement to make.
[04:44] ---
Are you familiar with the Next Venus Grand Prix?
[04:50] ---
The competition that determines
the top of newcomer idols.
[04:54] ---
That's right.
[04:55] ---
Miss Mana was supposed
to compete in its final round...
[05:01] ---
The Next Venus Grand Prix that's
been paused for the last three years
[05:05] ---
is coming back starting this year.
[05:10] ---
There were rumors.
[05:11] ---
That's why Makino and I launched this project.
[05:16] ---
I'm thinking of entering us in
the Next Venus Grand Prix.
[05:21] ---
What do you think?
[05:24] ---
Moon Tempest will enter!
[05:29] ---
My heart just pounded...
[05:42] ---
Sunny Peace will enter, too!
[05:45] ---
All right.
[05:48] ---
We'll handle the registration process.
[05:51] ---
I want to hear your thoughts
[05:53] ---
on what you'll be doing
to prepare for it later.
[05:56] ---
Yes!
[05:57] ---
But before that...
[06:00] ---
You've all been on a hard schedule
since the day of your debut.
[06:04] ---
So we'll give you a whole day off tomorrow.
[06:07] ---
Yay!
[06:11] ---
A day off, huh?
[06:13] ---
Nagisa, what are you going to do?
[06:15] ---
Well, let's see...
[06:18] ---
I want to go somewhere with Kotono.
[06:20] ---
What are you doing, Rei?
[06:22] ---
I'm going to train and work my shift as usual.
[06:24] ---
What? So much for a day off.
[06:28] ---
As for me, I have many things I want to do!
[06:31] ---
I would like to go shopping
and catch that movie, too!
[06:34] ---
Miss Haruko, you've participated in
the Next Venus Grand Prix before, right?
[06:39] ---
But I was eliminated in the first round,
[06:41] ---
so I was always rooting for Mana.
[06:44] ---
The Grand Prix...
[06:46] ---
I'm sure LizNoir and TRINITYAiLE
will be participating, too.
[06:51] ---
If we advance, I'm sure
we'll face them somewhere.
[06:54] ---
Plus...
[06:56] ---
I wonder what I should do...?
[07:16] ---
You're back.
[07:17] ---
Breakfast will be ready in a bit.
[07:20] ---
This is everyone?
[07:21] ---
Where are Sakura and the others?
[07:23] ---
I bet they're still sleeping.
[07:25] ---
It's our first day off in a while.
[07:27] ---
Pork cutlet...
[07:29] ---
A day off doesn't mean skipping breakfast...
[07:32] ---
Everyone must be tired.
[07:35] ---
Morning!
[07:36] ---
Breakfast time! Breakfast time!
[07:38] ---
Huh? What's the matter, everyone?
[07:41] ---
You usually don't get up so early.
[07:43] ---
It's our precious day off!
[07:45] ---
It'd be a waste to sleep through it!
[07:54] ---
Miss Mana, what do you think of my dancing--
[07:58] ---
Ouch!
[08:04] ---
Morning...
[08:06] ---
Morning.
[08:07] ---
Oh, is it just you, Shizuku?
[08:10] ---
Yup.
[08:11] ---
You finally got up.
[08:13] ---
Morning to both of you.
[08:15] ---
Sorry, but could you take in the laundry later?
[08:20] ---
We're about to head out.
[08:23] ---
Yeah, sure thing.
[08:24] ---
Where to?
[08:25] ---
Are you going shopping?
[08:27] ---
That's right.
[08:28] ---
I can join you if you would like.
[08:31] ---
I have many things to buy in mind--
[08:33] ---
Suzu.
[08:35] ---
Before that...
[08:42] ---
The wind feels so good.
[08:44] ---
There's actually not much to do.
[08:46] ---
It's our precious day off,
[08:48] ---
we can take it easy.
[08:51] ---
How about you do your homework, too?!
[08:54] ---
--I'm all caught up.
--All caught up.
[08:56] ---
If you don't finish your quota,
[08:59] ---
you'll get scolded by Saki again.
[09:04] ---
I wonder what everyone's doing.
[09:06] ---
Let's see...
[09:08] ---
Saki and Chisa went shopping.
[09:11] ---
Kotono and Nagisa are on a walk.
[09:14] ---
And I heard Mei
[09:16] ---
--went out, too.
--Y-You're Phantom Thief Kumah!
[09:18] ---
Ku-mamama-mah!
[09:20] ---
Oh? How about Rei?
[09:22] ---
She went out with her training gear on.
[09:25] ---
Ah, I see.
[09:28] ---
And Haruko is...
[09:34] ---
Haruko!
[09:35] ---
Are you watering the vegetables?
[09:37] ---
Yup!
[09:38] ---
They're looking ripe!
[09:40] ---
When are they ready to eat?
[09:41] ---
I think they're ready now!
[09:43] ---
We'll have more veggies
than usual for dinner tonight.
[09:46] ---
Wow.
[09:47] ---
Are you girls not going out anywhere?
[09:50] ---
I don't have a place in mind.
[09:52] ---
But since it's such nice weather,
[09:54] ---
the pool sounds really good right now.
[09:58] ---
Then, how about this?
[10:01] ---
Huh?
[10:04] ---
Idoly Pride.
[10:10] ---
Wow!
[10:12] ---
I didn't know this was in the shed.
[10:15] ---
Does this belong to the company?
[10:17] ---
Nope, it's my personal item.
[10:19] ---
I brought it when I moved here.
[10:21] ---
A personal item, huh?
[10:26] ---
We're all changed!
[10:28] ---
We're all set.
[10:29] ---
Sakura! Shizuku!
[10:32] ---
What do you think of the elegant
swimwear I let you borrow?
[10:38] ---
They're cute...
[10:39] ---
But a little tight.
[10:41] ---
What?! How rude!
[10:44] ---
In any case, I am quite impressed
with your kiddy pool idea.
[10:48] ---
Idols cannot go to a public pool, after all.
[10:50] ---
We can't?
[10:52] ---
Absolutely not, that is common sense!
[10:54] ---
Anyway, how's the homework coming?
[10:56] ---
I-I am taking a short break.
[10:59] ---
Stare...
[11:00] ---
I-I will finish it after playing in the pool!
[11:08] ---
Shoot!
[11:09] ---
This is revenge!
[11:11] ---
Hey, Shizuku!
[11:12] ---
--It's so cold.
--That was totally cheating!
[11:14] ---
--It feels so good!
--That was totally cheating!
[11:17] ---
--Homework Beam!
--Everyone,
[11:18] ---
make sure you put on sunscreen
or else you'll regret it later.
[11:22] ---
Okay!
[11:24] ---
Take that!
[11:25] ---
--Quit that! Take this counterattack!
[11:27] ---
--What's going on?
--Quit that! Take this counterattack!
[11:28] ---
Take that!
[11:30] ---
It's loud out here.
[11:32] ---
What are you-- Huh?!
[11:33] ---
What?!
[11:34] ---
I'm sorry for startling you.
[11:37] ---
Wh-Why are you in swimsuits?
[11:39] ---
We're playing in the pool.
[11:41] ---
Hey, Makino!
[11:42] ---
Do not intrude!
[11:44] ---
Men are prohibited from this area!
[11:46] ---
No, but this is...
[11:48] ---
There is no arguing about it!
[11:50] ---
Wait!
[11:52] ---
Mr. Makino!
[11:57] ---
Thanks for hanging out with me today.
[12:00] ---
Of course, likewise.
[12:04] ---
Oh? Mr. Makino, are you going to work?
[12:07] ---
I give up...
[12:09] ---
I can't work here...
[12:11] ---
Huh?
[12:17] ---
It's been ages since I went to the movies.
That was so fun!
[12:21] ---
I feel bad for getting in for free though.
[12:23] ---
The receptionist said ghosts
can get in for free, no problem.
[12:27] ---
Most people don't think they really exist.
[12:32] ---
I'm back!
[12:35] ---
Hey Nagisa, stop that.
[12:38] ---
There!
[12:39] ---
Whoa!
[12:41] ---
What are they doing?
[12:44] ---
It looks like so much fun!
[12:46] ---
So cold and refreshing!
[12:49] ---
Take that!
[12:51] ---
Take this, Suzu-nyan!
[12:54] ---
Wait!
[13:02] ---
What? A pool?
[13:10] ---
Hey.
[13:12] ---
How do you feel about the
Next Venus Grand Prix, Chisa?
[13:15] ---
Huh?
[13:17] ---
How... do I feel?
[13:19] ---
To be honest, I'm a bit concerned.
[13:23] ---
Big Sister...
[13:25] ---
I wonder if it's okay for us to participate
[13:27] ---
when we're so inexperienced
and just made our debut?
[13:32] ---
"If we're doing it, we should aim big."
[13:36] ---
My former self would've said that.
[13:39] ---
But after witnessing a senior idol's ability,
[13:43] ---
and seeing girls cry after losing a battle...
[13:47] ---
I find myself thinking, "What a harsh world."
[13:51] ---
S-Sorry for bringing this up like this.
[13:55] ---
Don't be.
[13:56] ---
I'm relieved.
[13:58] ---
You're no different than me, Big Sister.
[14:01] ---
Chisa?
[14:03] ---
I feel the same, too.
[14:05] ---
I'm scared, but I'll do my best.
[14:08] ---
Because I want to stand
on the same stage as you.
[14:11] ---
Because if I don't, I think I'll regret it.
[14:14] ---
Chisa...
[14:25] ---
Sorry Suzu-nyan.
[14:27] ---
That was too much...
[14:31] ---
That was so much fun.
[14:36] ---
Sakura... What's that...?
[14:39] ---
Huh?
[14:40] ---
Oh, yeah.
[14:42] ---
I haven't told you yet, have I?
[14:44] ---
This is the scar from my surgery.
[14:46] ---
What?
[14:47] ---
Surgery...?
[14:48] ---
Yup, for my heart.
[14:51] ---
Sakura... You had heart surgery?
[14:56] ---
But there's nothing to worry about now.
[14:58] ---
It happened three years ago.
[14:59] ---
And I can exercise just like anyone.
[15:02] ---
I can even get in the pool.
[15:04] ---
Well, that's good then.
[15:07] ---
Hey girls! The somen's ready!
[15:10] ---
--Yay!
--All right!
[15:12] ---
That was a needless worry.
[15:16] ---
Let's eat!
[15:19] ---
--So good!
--I don't want wasabi.
[15:22] ---
It's so good.
[15:23] ---
So good!
[15:25] ---
Don't eat it too fast.
[15:46] ---
This is impossible...
[15:50] ---
What?
[15:51] ---
Sakura said she had heart surgery?
[15:54] ---
Yeah.
[15:55] ---
Is she okay to perform and do
strenuous exercise like that?
[16:01] ---
According to Sakura, she's okay now.
[16:04] ---
I'd like extra sauce, please.
[16:08] ---
I see.
[16:09] ---
I wonder if Mr. Saegusa and
Mr. Makino know about this.
[16:13] ---
They must, right?
[16:17] ---
There you are!
[16:19] ---
Nagisa, I've got this idea for dinner.
[16:22] ---
Yes?
[16:24] ---
We're back.
[16:26] ---
Welcome back.
[16:27] ---
Are you going somewhere?
[16:29] ---
We're going to Takemiya for groceries.
[16:31] ---
But I'm still sleepy...
[16:34] ---
Same goes for me...
[16:37] ---
They're in charge of groceries,
[16:39] ---
but I got worried,
so I decided to tag along.
[16:42] ---
I see.
[16:51] ---
I didn't know we had a full set like this.
[16:54] ---
It's my personal item.
[16:55] ---
What?
[16:56] ---
"Special Selection
Bincho Charcoal"
[16:57] ---
"Special Selection
Bincho Charcoal"
Haruko!
[16:59] ---
"Special Selection
Bincho Charcoal"
Was this the box of charcoal
you were talking about?
[17:01] ---
Yup, that's the one!
[17:03] ---
Miss Haruko...
[17:05] ---
What else do you have?
[17:09] ---
Let's see...
[17:10] ---
Carrots, onions, shiitake mushrooms,
[17:13] ---
kabocha squash, corn, potatoes...
[17:16] ---
In any case, the most crucial item is meat!
[17:20] ---
We might as well get the expensive steak!
[17:23] ---
Mr. Makino's getting the meat for us.
[17:26] ---
There are vegetables harvested
from the farm, too.
[17:31] ---
I bet grilling them would taste great!
[17:34] ---
Not fair!
[17:35] ---
We can't forget about the donuts!
[17:37] ---
Then me, too!
[17:39] ---
Donuts!
[17:40] ---
And how about this and this and this!
[17:44] ---
Put them back.
[17:46] ---
Right away!
[17:50] ---
I'm back.
[17:51] ---
Welcome back.
[17:53] ---
I hope this meat was what you wanted.
[17:56] ---
Wow, that's nice meat.
[17:58] ---
It must've been expensive.
[18:00] ---
Well, y-you know...
[18:03] ---
Your face froze when you were checking out.
[18:06] ---
I'm not used to buying these things.
[18:09] ---
Huh?
[18:11] ---
We're back.
[18:12] ---
It's so heavy.
[18:14] ---
Truly...
[18:17] ---
Wow!
[18:19] ---
I've never seen charcoal fire before!
[18:21] ---
The fire gets stronger
when you give it some air.
[18:27] ---
Whoa!
[18:29] ---
The skewers are ready!
[18:31] ---
Let's start.
[18:32] ---
--I am going to use a lot of meat!
--I'm starving!
[18:34] ---
The meat looks really good.
[18:35] ---
This is nice, once in a while.
[18:38] ---
It's gotten a lot livelier, hasn't it?
[18:44] ---
Kotono.
[18:45] ---
What's up?
[18:46] ---
Mr. Makino, there's something
I want to ask you about.
[18:49] ---
What is it?
[18:51] ---
It's about Sakura's surgery.
[18:55] ---
Let the grilling begin!
[18:57] ---
All right!
[18:58] ---
I'm going to devour it!
[19:00] ---
Mr. Saegusa and I know
about the surgery, of course.
[19:05] ---
I've talked to her about it a lot,
[19:08] ---
and I've spoken to her parents, too.
[19:10] ---
After much consideration,
we decided it was okay.
[19:13] ---
So there's nothing to worry about.
[19:17] ---
Got it.
[19:24] ---
Of course she'd get worried.
[19:26] ---
I'm giving close attention to it, too.
[19:29] ---
The meat is ready!
[19:31] ---
Huh? What's wrong?
[19:32] ---
Oh, it's nothing.
[19:34] ---
I'll take one.
[19:35] ---
Oh, I'm jealous! I want to eat it, too!
[19:38] ---
Say, "Ah."
[19:40] ---
Hey, hey...
[19:47] ---
--Let's eat lots of veggies.
--Big Sister...
[19:48] ---
Say "Ah."
[19:49] ---
Oh, come on.
[19:59] ---
Mr. Makino, what are you doing?
[20:01] ---
There's a video I want to show you all.
[20:09] ---
A room somewhere?
[20:11] ---
Hey! It's Mana!
[20:13] ---
Miss Mana! It's Miss Mana!
[20:16] ---
Hey, don't sneak the camera on me!
[20:19] ---
Why are you snacking
when you're about to perform?
[20:24] ---
So my stomach doesn't grumble on stage!
[20:28] ---
Tell me! What is this footage?!
[20:32] ---
It's footage I took of Mana
in the dressing room!
[20:34] ---
So this is rare footage!
[20:38] ---
Wow, it's Miss Mana...
[20:40] ---
Big Sister...
[20:42] ---
--Makino, why don't you have a piece, too?
[20:44] ---
--Why are you playing this
without my permission?
--Makino, why don't you have a piece, too?
[20:45] ---
--Why are you playing this
without my permission?
--No, I'll have it later.
[20:47] ---
There, there.
[20:48] ---
You told me you deleted this video, remember?
[20:52] ---
I-I did...
[20:54] ---
This is from the backup drive.
[20:56] ---
That doesn't count as deleted, then.
[20:58] ---
You could say that.
[21:00] ---
It's the truth!
[21:04] ---
You're still filming?
[21:06] ---
Yup.
[21:07] ---
My gosh.
[21:08] ---
--I'm about to get on stage,
so let me focus!
[21:09] ---
--Mana...
--I'm about to get on stage,
so let me focus!
[21:12] ---
You're always relaxed, anyway.
[21:13] ---
What do you mean?
I really need you to delete this later.
[21:17] ---
--This is Miss Mana's real face.
[21:18] ---
--I promise I'll delete it.
--This is Miss Mana's real face.
[21:19] ---
--Promise?
--This is Miss Mana's real face.
[21:20] ---
--Yes.
--You better!
[21:39] ---
Today was so much fun.
[21:41] ---
We finally kick off training
for the Grand Prix tomorrow.
[21:45] ---
Yup!
[21:46] ---
I hope both Sunny Peace and Moon Tempest
[21:48] ---
pass the preliminaries and get to
compete with each other in the finals.
[21:52] ---
When that day comes,
[21:54] ---
Moon Tempest won't lose.
[21:56] ---
Sunny Peace won't, either.

[00:01] ---
"Moon Tempest"
[00:04] ---
Thank you very much!
[00:17] ---
"Amagami Rhythm" "Sunny Peace"
[00:26] ---
Let's go, everyone!
[00:29] ---
Together with the sunshine!
[00:31] ---
Sunny Peace!
[02:07] ---
Has the word arrived yet?
[02:10] ---
That was your fifth time asking that.
[02:13] ---
You're very calm, Rei.
[02:16] ---
I'm actually nervous, too.
[02:19] ---
I've got it this time.
[02:20] ---
This time, I'm part of a group,
[02:21] ---
and I have improved skill-wise, too.
[02:25] ---
It's been three months since the Next Venus
Grand Prix preliminaries started, huh?
[02:29] ---
That went by fast, don't you think?
[02:31] ---
We've accumulated lots of points...
[02:34] ---
I'm pretty sure.
[02:35] ---
How many groups get to be in the finals again?
[02:38] ---
Sixteen groups.
[02:39] ---
I wonder if all of us will make it...
[02:42] ---
Until the results are announced,
[02:45] ---
we won't know.
[02:48] ---
We've received word from management.
[02:50] ---
--What are the results?!
--Did we make it to the finals?!
[02:52] ---
--Which group?
--Both groups?!
[02:54] ---
Calm down! Get back, get back.
[03:02] ---
Sunny Peace, Moon Tempest...
[03:06] ---
Both groups will be moving on to the finals!
[03:09] ---
Heck yeah!
[03:11] ---
What?!
[03:12] ---
"President's Office"
[03:16] ---
"15 Moon Tempest"
"16 Sunny Peace"
[03:19] ---
They barely made it.
[03:23] ---
"16 Finalists Selected"
[03:32] ---
The finals three years ago...
[03:34] ---
Time stopped for us right before it happened.
[03:38] ---
We've been waiting for this Grand Prix.
[03:40] ---
We'll be the ones who'll rise to the top.
[03:44] ---
Thank you very much.
[03:46] ---
TRINITYAiLE, we would like
to hear your thoughts, too.
[03:50] ---
Yes.
[03:51] ---
We came in second,
behind our seniors in the preliminaries.
[03:56] ---
But we'll be the ones who'll win.
[03:59] ---
Are you declaring your victory over us?
[04:02] ---
I wouldn't mind if you took it that way.
[04:05] ---
Let's both do our best!
[04:06] ---
We're your dear juniors,
so please don't be too hard on us.
[04:11] ---
We'll know the results when we get on stage.
[04:14] ---
I'm looking forward to it.
[04:21] ---
Mr. Makino.
[04:23] ---
I have a favor to ask you.
[04:26] ---
Will you please come with me
to my next regular check-up?
[04:30] ---
Regular check-up?
[04:31] ---
Yes.
[04:32] ---
Since there were continuous concert
battles in the preliminaries,
[04:35] ---
before the finals start,
my doctor wants to confirm with you
[04:38] ---
how much exercise I've been getting.
[04:41] ---
I see.
[04:43] ---
Sure thing.
[04:44] ---
It's better to be on top
of these things. When is it?
[04:47] ---
Makino, Makino!
[04:50] ---
LizNoir...
[04:51] ---
Miss Kanzaki is here.
[04:53] ---
A lot of idols train at this studio, so it
wouldn't be a surprise to see them here.
[04:58] ---
It's not like that...
[05:01] ---
Congratulations on making it to the finals.
[05:03] ---
You were practically novices just
the other day, so you should be proud.
[05:07] ---
How great, right Suzu-nyan?
We got complimented!
[05:10] ---
Well, of course we did!
[05:13] ---
Your coaching us that time got us here.
[05:16] ---
Thank you very much for that.
[05:18] ---
Moon Tempest.
[05:20] ---
It's a good group.
[05:22] ---
Very well-balanced.
[05:24] ---
You definitely have the potential
Mr. Saegusa recognized in you.
[05:27] ---
But...
[05:28] ---
Kotono Nagase.
[05:31] ---
You just look like Mana Nagase.
[05:37] ---
I watched her ever since
she made her debut.
[05:41] ---
More than anyone else.
[05:42] ---
So I can tell you this bluntly...
[05:44] ---
Right now, you're merely an inferior copy.
[05:51] ---
What do you know about Kotono?
[05:54] ---
Nagisa?
[05:55] ---
Do you even know what it's like
for her being an idol?
[06:00] ---
Thanks, Nagisa.
[06:02] ---
But I'm okay.
[06:04] ---
Kotono...
[06:05] ---
I'm pretty sure that Miss Kanzaki
and I are the same.
[06:11] ---
You watched only my sister for a long time...
[06:13] ---
Isn't that right?
[06:15] ---
Don't put words in my mouth.
[06:19] ---
Everyone!
[06:21] ---
Hurry up and get to the studio.
[06:23] ---
Mr. Makino.
[06:25] ---
Rio, what are you doing?
[06:27] ---
We're done talking now.
[06:29] ---
Let's get practicing already.
[06:31] ---
Hello.
[06:32] ---
I heard that you took care
of our girls that one time.
[06:35] ---
Oh, no. It was my pleasure.
[06:38] ---
I'd like to thank you, too, for the lesson.
[06:41] ---
That's why we're here now.
[06:43] ---
Makino, who is this person?
[06:45] ---
Dummy! She's LizNoir's producer.
[06:48] ---
What?!
[06:49] ---
As we both advance,
we'll eventually face each other.
[06:52] ---
I'm looking forward
to when that time comes.
[06:55] ---
Yes!
[06:57] ---
As long as you're Mana Nagase's sister,
[06:59] ---
you won't be able to move up any further.
[07:03] ---
Are you okay?
[07:04] ---
Yes.
[07:05] ---
Thank you very much.
[07:22] ---
Miss Kawasaki.
[07:24] ---
Miss Sakura Kawasaki.
[07:25] ---
Yes!
[07:28] ---
You'll probably be called in by
the doctor after the tests are done.
[07:32] ---
Got it.
[07:33] ---
Thank you, I'll see you later!
[07:39] ---
These check-ups take a long time, huh?
[07:42] ---
I really feel for Sakura.
[07:44] ---
You show concern for Sakura,
[07:46] ---
but you're cold when it comes to Kotono.
[07:49] ---
You think so?
[07:50] ---
You haven't mentioned anything about the
interaction between Kotono and Miss Kanzaki.
[07:54] ---
Are you not concerned for your sister?
[07:57] ---
There's no point in being concerned.
[07:59] ---
There's nothing I can do anyway.
[08:05] ---
Are you Miss Sakura Kawasaki's guardian?
[08:07] ---
Yes.
[08:09] ---
Please go to examining room three.
[08:14] ---
Mana, will you stay outside?
[08:18] ---
Why?
[08:19] ---
This is Sakura's private matter.
[08:22] ---
Really?
[08:23] ---
Well, that's fine by me.
[08:26] ---
Thanks.
[08:30] ---
Well, it'd be a lie if I said
there's nothing to worry about.
[08:34] ---
But there's no problem for the time being.
[08:37] ---
Really?
[08:38] ---
Quite some time has passed
since the transplant.
[08:41] ---
And it seems that she's gradually
worked up to her current level of exercise.
[08:45] ---
That's a relief.
[08:46] ---
I was surprised when I heard
she was going to become an idol.
[08:51] ---
Um...
[08:52] ---
Regarding Sakura's heart...
[08:55] ---
Yes?
[08:56] ---
What kind of person was the donor?
[08:59] ---
As a matter of principle, information
regarding the donor is confidential.
[09:04] ---
I see.
[09:06] ---
There was something I was curious about.
[09:10] ---
What is it?
[09:11] ---
Our agency is called Hoshimi Productions.
[09:15] ---
And we lost an idol
to an accident three years ago.
[09:19] ---
Her name was Mana Nagase.
[09:22] ---
Sakura's voice sounds exactly like hers.
[09:25] ---
I had a hunch there could be a connection.
[09:29] ---
What a strange coincidence.
[09:32] ---
Yes.
[09:33] ---
When I met Sakura,
it felt like Mana guided her to us.
[09:39] ---
That's all.
[09:41] ---
I see.
[09:49] ---
Mr. Makino, is the meeting over?
[09:52] ---
He says there are no concerns worth noting.
[09:54] ---
That's great. What a relief.
[09:56] ---
Now Sakura can focus all her energy
on the Grand Prix.
[10:02] ---
What is it?
[10:03] ---
Huh?
[10:05] ---
Mr. Makino?
[10:07] ---
Oh, sorry.
[10:10] ---
It's nothing.
[10:13] ---
Idoly Pride.
[10:16] ---
Celebrating Moonest and Sunny P
making it to the finals!
[10:20] ---
Cheers!
[10:21] ---
Cheers!
[10:23] ---
--Nom, nom, nom!
--This is delicious.
[10:25] ---
Really? Give me a bite!
[10:26] ---
--Make sure you eat a well-balanced meal.
--Okay!
[10:28] ---
Miss Haruko, are you drinking wine?
[10:31] ---
That's right.
[10:32] ---
You gotta have a drink to celebrate...
[10:36] ---
Miss Haruko, we still have practice
tomorrow, so please take it easy--
[10:39] ---
I said, call me Haruko! Gosh...
[10:44] ---
Suzu, you're not eating?
[10:45] ---
O-Oh...
[10:47] ---
No, um...
[10:48] ---
We usually... split the cost, don't we?
[10:52] ---
The thing is... I... Well...
[10:54] ---
You used up your salary again?
[10:57] ---
I can't help it!
[10:58] ---
Mother canceled the credit card because
I became an idol without her consent!
[11:03] ---
Suzu, you need to learn how
to manage your money.
[11:09] ---
But there's no need to worry today!
[11:12] ---
This is all Mr. Makino's treat!
[11:14] ---
Really?!
[11:15] ---
It's a reward for making it to the finals.
[11:18] ---
I'll treat you to yakiniku
for the next victory.
[11:19] ---
All right! Generous manager!
[11:23] ---
Mr... Makino!
[11:26] ---
Mr. Makino?
[11:27] ---
Oh my goodness.
I would die for yakiniku!
[11:30] ---
I wonder what we'll get if we win?
[11:38] ---
Miss Haruko, you'll catch a cold.
[11:40] ---
It's Haruko!
[11:43] ---
Let's wait for now and wake her up later.
[11:47] ---
I wonder why she didn't get popular.
[11:50] ---
When she's this cute...
[11:55] ---
Shizuku, what are you looking at?
[11:58] ---
Egosurfing...
[11:59] ---
So? How is my reputation?
[12:02] ---
For Suzu...
[12:04] ---
...nothing comes up.
[12:05] ---
What? That is impossible!
[12:08] ---
Someone wrote about Kotono!
[12:10] ---
"As expected of Mana Nagase's sister,
[12:13] ---
she's a great singer.
[12:15] ---
Her presence reminds me of Mana, too..."!
[12:19] ---
Good for you, Kotono!
[12:21] ---
Yeah.
[12:22] ---
If you do a better job searching,
there has to be something about me...
[12:25] ---
"Slow Joy@joyslow
But Mana is hands-down more talented."
[12:32] ---
Kotono, don't let this get to you.
[12:35] ---
Th-That's right!
[12:36] ---
Deplorables who say
such things are everywhere.
[12:40] ---
Anything else?
[12:41] ---
Oh. Um...
[12:44] ---
This one's about Sakura.
[12:46] ---
What?
[12:48] ---
"Peace Mana@manana
Don't you think Sakura Kawasaki of Sunny P
resembles Mana more than Kotono Nagase?"
[12:49] ---
"S_T_O_R_A@Support idols...
Her aura and how she sings
are exactly like her."
[12:52] ---
"Kumakuma@Celebrating NVGP Revival
It made me think of Mana's performance.
She's a good singer, so I can root for her."
[12:58] ---
I really don't understand it myself...
[13:02] ---
I'm only doing my best to sing...
[13:06] ---
"Chore Chart"
[13:16] ---
What's the matter?
[13:17] ---
Huh?
[13:18] ---
There's something on your mind, I can tell.
[13:22] ---
Yeah.
[13:23] ---
It's about Miss Mana...
[13:26] ---
You know, I'm not intentionally
trying to sound like Miss Mana.
[13:31] ---
I'm only singing naturally...
[13:34] ---
Well...
[13:35] ---
I was suddenly able to sing
like this after my surgery.
[13:40] ---
I'm not especially concerned.
[13:42] ---
Just sing with your voice as usual, Sakura.
[13:56] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[13:58] ---
I put together a schedule for here on out.
[14:02] ---
Start practice at the studio
in Tokyo at six in the morning.
[14:06] ---
Until 10 at night?!
[14:07] ---
Even the first train won't get us
there in time for the 6 AM start!
[14:12] ---
Suzu's the one who said we won't win
the finals if we don't step things up.
[14:16] ---
We need to tackle the finals
in an entirely different way!
[14:20] ---
This voice...
[14:23] ---
Sakura?
[14:26] ---
What did you think of that?
[14:29] ---
Yeah... That didn't sound
like Miss Mana just now.
[14:33] ---
Really?
[14:34] ---
But...
[14:35] ---
Sakura.
[14:36] ---
Kotono.
[14:38] ---
You weren't singing like
you normally would just now.
[14:43] ---
Sakura wanted to try out
a different way to sing.
[14:48] ---
But why?
[14:50] ---
Because...
[14:55] ---
Let's talk just the two of us for a second.
[15:00] ---
The thing is...
[15:01] ---
I researched about Miss Mana last night.
[15:05] ---
About my sister?
[15:07] ---
Yup.
[15:08] ---
Where she was born,
how she became an idol...
[15:12] ---
How popular she was...
[15:14] ---
You know, I was never too
knowledgeable about those things.
[15:18] ---
Okay.
[15:20] ---
I watched her footage...
[15:22] ---
She really was amazing.
[15:24] ---
I've seen them a few times before,
[15:27] ---
but I was amazed again re-watching them.
[15:30] ---
I feel bad that people say I remind them of her.
[15:35] ---
And now you're trying to change your singing?
[15:39] ---
When you've been advancing with that voice?
[15:41] ---
Is it going to work changing it so suddenly?
[15:45] ---
Tell me the truth.
[15:48] ---
Sakura.
[15:53] ---
"Sakura Kawasaki, Return of Mana Nagase?"
"Sakura Kawasaki, the leader of Sunny Peace from
Hoshimi Productions that made it as a finalist
in the current Next Venus Grand Prix..."
[15:57] ---
When I asked Shizuku...
[16:00] ---
She told me people would call me the successor
of Miss Mana if I kept singing the way I am now.
[16:06] ---
I questioned whether you would
be okay with that, Kotono.
[16:10] ---
I thought you wouldn't like that.
[16:14] ---
I don't mind.
[16:15] ---
Really?
[16:17] ---
Kotono, aren't you singing for Miss Mana?
[16:24] ---
Tell me the truth!
[16:29] ---
I don't have my sister's voice.
[16:32] ---
I'm not as talented a singer as her.
[16:35] ---
I can't move the audience as much as her.
[16:38] ---
That's not true!
[16:39] ---
It is so!
[16:43] ---
No matter how much I practice, I fail.
[16:46] ---
Even if I sing in place of my sister,
[16:48] ---
I won't be able to dispel her regret.
[16:52] ---
But you're different, Sakura!
[16:54] ---
You can make it happen.
[16:56] ---
Kotono...
[16:58] ---
Sakura...
[16:59] ---
You could sing the song my sister
was supposed to sing at the finals...
[17:02] ---
What?
[17:04] ---
I want you to sing it, Sakura.
[17:13] ---
"Rio Kanzaki of LizNoir...
I feel a great energy from her.
How can I describe it... Hunger?"
[17:16] ---
Yes.
[17:17] ---
Kotono, can we talk a bit?
[17:23] ---
Did something happen between you and Sakura?
[17:25] ---
Huh?
[17:26] ---
You both are so easy to read.
[17:29] ---
You both have avoided eye contact with
each other ever since practice ended.
[17:33] ---
I let Sakura know...
[17:35] ---
...that she shouldn't mind me
[17:37] ---
and keep singing the way she's been.
[17:40] ---
I see.
[17:42] ---
I've always felt that I needed to reach
the top as an idol in place of my sister.
[17:47] ---
But... I just can't sing like my sister.
[17:52] ---
That's when Sakura appeared, right?
[17:56] ---
Yup.
[17:57] ---
I believe Sakura will be able
to sing like my sister.
[18:01] ---
But if that's the case,
[18:04] ---
I don't know why I'm participating
in the Grand Prix.
[18:08] ---
I see.
[18:10] ---
I know I can't be like this.
[18:14] ---
Everyone's putting their all
into the Grand Prix.
[18:16] ---
It'd be disrespectful if I
didn't put in my all, too.
[18:20] ---
I think you should do
as you want to, Kotono.
[18:24] ---
As for me and everyone,
[18:26] ---
I think we all understand
how you feel, Kotono.
[18:30] ---
Really?
[18:31] ---
Yup.
[18:32] ---
We noticed something was wrong recently...
[18:36] ---
Maybe you were struggling with something...
[18:39] ---
Mei, Suzu, and Saki were worried, too!
[18:42] ---
W-Was I really acting that strange?
[18:45] ---
No, it's not like that.
[18:47] ---
Since we've been working together all this time,
[18:49] ---
we're able to sense even
the most subtle changes.
[18:52] ---
Everyone did...?
[18:56] ---
I'm sorry.
[18:57] ---
I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
[19:00] ---
Suzu-nyan made us do it!
[19:02] ---
Hold up, you're the one
who instigated this, Mei!
[19:06] ---
Anyway, we all care about you.
[19:09] ---
To be honest, I don't really know
anything about Miss Mana.
[19:14] ---
I just know I'd be happy leaving a good record
in the Grand Prix singing with you, Kotono.
[19:20] ---
Me, too!
[19:22] ---
Really?
[19:23] ---
Yup!
[19:24] ---
Everyone loves your singing, Kotono.
[19:28] ---
Regardless of Miss Mana, we all want
to sing together with you, Kotono!
[19:33] ---
But my singing is...
Compared to my sister's...
[19:38] ---
You cannot compare yourself
with Miss Mana!
[19:42] ---
I-It's just...
[19:44] ---
It's true that you have your
own good qualities, too!
[19:47] ---
Suzu.
[19:49] ---
If you're feeling lost without a goal,
[19:53] ---
just think that you're doing it for all of us.
[19:56] ---
For all of you?
[19:58] ---
We've worked so hard together.
[20:00] ---
It would not hurt to do that for us.
[20:05] ---
For everyone...
[20:06] ---
That's right, we, Moon Tempest,
will sing for all of us.
[20:11] ---
We'll aim for the top of
the Grand Prix for all of us.
[20:15] ---
That is usually the case, you know?
[20:17] ---
So if you can think that way, too, Kotono...
[20:21] ---
With all of us who think your voice...
who think your singing is the best!
[20:26] ---
Together!
[20:35] ---
Thanks.
[20:36] ---
I was fixated on my sister and had no clue...
[20:42] ---
I didn't know that's how
you all felt about me...
[20:46] ---
And the group...
[20:55] ---
It's a blessing from the moon.
[20:57] ---
Yup.
[20:59] ---
I'm going to aim to win...
[21:02] ---
...with Moon Tempest.
[21:04] ---
With everyone here!
[21:10] ---
We were shown the overwhelming strength
[21:12] ---
of the likely winner, LizNoir,
in the first battle of the first round!
[21:17] ---
The second battle is between
Moon Tempest and Krystal!
[21:21] ---
Now, which group will the
goddess of victory smile upon?
[21:25] ---
Let the performance begin!
[21:27] ---
"Moon Tempest" "Krystal"
[21:30] ---
Now, let's sing!
[21:32] ---
From here to the future!
[21:34] ---
From here to space!
[21:36] ---
Let's aim for the top!
[21:38] ---
With the light of the moon in our hands!
[21:41] ---
Moon Tempest!
[23:14] ---
"Moon Tempest"
[23:18] ---
Kotono!
[23:19] ---
Kotono!
[23:20] ---
Yay!
[23:21] ---
Hey! Nagisa, Suzu, Mei...
[23:24] ---
Then me, too!
[23:25] ---
Um...
[23:27] ---
Come on, just for today.
[23:30] ---
Amazing!

[00:02] ---
Congratulations on winning the first round!
[00:05] ---
Thank you very much!
[00:06] ---
Among the fans, you are called the return
of Miss Mana, who was once your senior.
[00:12] ---
What?
[00:13] ---
Um...
[00:15] ---
Is this something you're conscious of?
[00:17] ---
I don't really understand it myself,
[00:20] ---
but when I sing with the voice
that feels best,
[00:22] ---
people tell me that I sound like Miss Mana.
[00:26] ---
She's a senior I respect,
so it makes me feel happy!
[02:05] ---
That was a good bath.
[02:08] ---
Kotono?
[02:10] ---
Can we talk?
[02:15] ---
This is about my sister's song
I mentioned before.
[02:19] ---
The song Miss Mana was supposed
to sing for her last finals performance?
[02:23] ---
Yeah.
[02:25] ---
There's something I wanted to tell you.
[02:28] ---
Three years ago...
[02:30] ---
The day before the final round,
the last night I spoke with my sister...
[02:36] ---
I said something terrible
to my sister after she told me
[02:40] ---
she wanted me to go watch
her final performance.
[02:43] ---
Feelings I'd been concealing deep in my heart...
[02:46] ---
Turned into words and ended up hurting her...
[02:52] ---
I despised myself for it, and was
depressed and alone in my room.
[02:58] ---
Kotono.
[03:00] ---
So... you still won't come
see my performance?
[03:05] ---
All right.
[03:08] ---
Well, it's not fun or anything watching a family
member who you see all the time singing, right?
[03:19] ---
Then, can you listen to this song, at least?
[03:21] ---
I'm singing it for the first time
at the finals tomorrow.
[03:24] ---
You're the first one to hear it, Kotono.
[03:32] ---
I only heard it once.
[03:34] ---
But I can still remember it vividly.
[03:37] ---
That song was so wonderful,
[03:40] ---
and it warms your heart
when you listen to it.
[03:45] ---
So I wanted to ask you again,
[03:47] ---
Sakura...
[03:50] ---
Sing my sister's song at the Grand Prix.
[03:54] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[03:55] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
Miss Mana's unreleased song?!
[03:58] ---
It's true that Mana was supposed to sing
that song for her finals performance.
[04:03] ---
How did you know about that?
[04:04] ---
Big Sister told me.
[04:07] ---
She told me directly the day
before the performance.
[04:12] ---
It's a very wonderful song,
[04:14] ---
and it warms you up just listening to it.
[04:18] ---
I've got the data for the song.
[04:20] ---
But I don't have a recording
of Mana singing it.
[04:23] ---
It was before we recorded it.
[04:25] ---
So it really is a legendary song...
[04:28] ---
I've heard from Mr. Saegusa...
[04:31] ---
I still remember how my sister sang it.
[04:35] ---
I'll teach her,
[04:37] ---
so what if we had Sakura sing that song?
[04:41] ---
Right now...
[04:43] ---
I think Sakura... Sunny Peace
has the ability to sing it.
[04:47] ---
Kotono...
[04:48] ---
I'll leave the final decision up to you,
Mr. Makino and Sunny Peace.
[04:57] ---
That song, huh?
[05:00] ---
I agree that Sakura
might be able to pull it off.
[05:03] ---
What do you think, Mr. Saegusa?
[05:07] ---
You're the one in charge.
[05:12] ---
So far,
[05:13] ---
it could be a little softer.
[05:17] ---
What's up?
[05:18] ---
If you suggested this a little while ago,
I think I would've declined.
[05:23] ---
Well, because... singing this song on stage in
place of Miss Mana was your goal, right, Kotono?
[05:30] ---
If I had sung it instead, I would have worried
that you would lose your purpose.
[05:35] ---
But after watching your last performance,
my thinking totally changed.
[05:40] ---
My last performance?
[05:42] ---
Yup!
[05:43] ---
Kotono, when you were on that stage,
[05:45] ---
I don't know how to say this exactly, but...
[05:49] ---
It really seemed like
Kotono of Moon Tempest!
[05:54] ---
And plus,
[05:55] ---
my heart is beating fast again.
[05:58] ---
It's telling me to sing this song.
[06:01] ---
So right now,
[06:02] ---
I can confidently take on Miss Mana's song.
[06:10] ---
This one would look great on you, Sakura.
[06:12] ---
--Aw, thanks.
--I see.
--As for me...
[06:15] ---
What is this?
[06:16] ---
What is it?
[06:18] ---
"Slow Joy@joyslow
Sakura Kawasaki had a
heart transplant. Confirmed."
[06:19] ---
"NVGP-Reunite-@NvgPOO
Rumor says that it's Mana Nagase's heart"
[06:21] ---
"Sign Star@Looking to root
Is that even possible?"
[06:23] ---
Sakura's heart...
[06:25] ---
...is Miss Mana's...?
[06:32] ---
What?
[06:40] ---
Miss Sakura Kawasaki!
May we have a moment?!
[06:42] ---
Is it true that you had a heart transplant?!
[06:46] ---
--Um...
--Excuse me.
[06:49] ---
Will you please send your questions
in writing to our agency?
[06:52] ---
There are rumors on the internet that Miss
Sakura's heart donor is Miss Mana Nagase!
[06:58] ---
Do you know about this?
[06:59] ---
According to our investigation...
[07:04] ---
Yes.
[07:05] ---
The number of reporters
has been increasing.
[07:08] ---
Got it.
[07:09] ---
Leave the rest to me.
[07:12] ---
Makino...
[07:14] ---
Take care of Sakura and the others.
[07:16] ---
Yes.
[07:20] ---
What? Is Sakura okay?
[07:21] ---
Yes.
[07:23] ---
She said she'll be fine after
she rests a little...
[07:27] ---
I think it was a real shock for her.
[07:30] ---
Singing is impossible for her right now.
[07:33] ---
Sakura, you should go back
to the dorms for today.
[07:37] ---
That's okay, I'll be fine after I rest a little.
[07:40] ---
There's no point in anyone practicing
this song if I'm not here.
[07:45] ---
Even then, if you don't feel well, speak up.
[07:48] ---
Yes...
[07:50] ---
Mr. Makino...
[07:52] ---
Did you know that Miss Mana's heart
was transplanted to another person?
[07:58] ---
Kotono told me yesterday.
[08:00] ---
According to Kotono's mother,
[08:02] ---
Miss Mana was a registered donor,
[08:05] ---
and there were talks about it
after the accident...
[08:10] ---
Do you think her heart could be...?
[08:13] ---
I'm sure you're aware, Sakura...
[08:15] ---
In Japan, any info on the donor is confidential.
[08:19] ---
Even if you're family,
there's no way to find out.
[08:22] ---
If there's no way to find out,
it's useless to worry about it.
[08:26] ---
Yes.
[08:28] ---
You're right.
[08:29] ---
Sakura...
[08:30] ---
Are you okay?
[08:32] ---
Yes! I've calmed down now.
[08:35] ---
The second round is right around the corner!
[08:40] ---
Mana!
[08:41] ---
What?
[08:43] ---
Why weren't you around today?
[08:45] ---
Is there a rule that I need
to be around all the time?
[08:47] ---
Do you know about the recent internet
rumors regarding Sakura's heart?
[08:52] ---
I do!
[08:53] ---
The rumor that her heart is mine, right?
[08:56] ---
There's no way that could be true!
[08:59] ---
Even you can't tell?
[09:02] ---
Your guess is as good as mine.
[09:05] ---
You should be asking
a doctor about this stuff.
[09:10] ---
Mr. Makino, it's Sakura.
[09:16] ---
I'm sorry.
[09:18] ---
What's the matter?
[09:20] ---
Um...
[09:23] ---
I couldn't say this earlier...
[09:26] ---
But my heart...
[09:29] ---
...is Miss Mana's!
[09:32] ---
What?
[09:34] ---
I didn't believe it at first...
[09:37] ---
But the more I think about it...
[09:41] ---
No, I just know it!
[09:44] ---
This heart belonged to Miss Mana.
[09:48] ---
How I suddenly was able to sing one day...
[09:52] ---
How I was guided to an opportunity
to become an idol...
[09:54] ---
It's all because this heart
belonged to Miss Mana.
[09:58] ---
The reason why people say I sound like her...
[10:01] ---
How it felt right when I sang that song...
[10:04] ---
It would all make sense!
[10:07] ---
Wait a minute.
[10:08] ---
--That's ridiculous.
--To be honest,
[10:10] ---
I realized it when we went to the hospital
for your check up the other day.
[10:14] ---
That your transplanted heart...
[10:16] ---
...belonged to Mana.
[10:18] ---
What?
[10:19] ---
I'm sorry for not telling you.
[10:21] ---
You're kidding, right?
[10:24] ---
I'm not kidding.
[10:25] ---
The day you died...
[10:27] ---
The day Sakura had her surgery...
[10:30] ---
It all makes sense.
[10:32] ---
Makino!
[10:34] ---
I can't believe it, either.
[10:36] ---
How could such a coincidence happen...?
[10:39] ---
Even if it could, all of this is inexplicable...
[10:43] ---
I've had enough!
[10:44] ---
I'm gonna get Mei.
[10:45] ---
Mana!
[10:45] ---
What?
[10:47] ---
It's likely that you exist here because of
something that has to do with your heart.
[10:53] ---
Mana?
[10:54] ---
Yeah, Mana's here.
[10:56] ---
Right there.
[10:58] ---
As a ghost.
[11:01] ---
Miss Mana...
[11:08] ---
Idoly Pride.
[11:14] ---
Mei, you're able to see Miss Mana?
[11:17] ---
Sure can!
[11:18] ---
I kept it a secret from everyone, though!
[11:21] ---
But why?
[11:22] ---
I told her to.
[11:24] ---
I especially didn't want Kotono to know.
[11:27] ---
That's what Mana wants.
[11:31] ---
Kotono... would be happy to know.
[11:34] ---
She can't be happy about it.
[11:36] ---
She says, "She can't be happy about it."
[11:38] ---
Why is that?
[11:40] ---
She's asking, "Why?"
[11:41] ---
I can hear her.
[11:43] ---
Oh, yeah.
[11:47] ---
I think Kotono made it to this point
because I wasn't around.
[11:52] ---
If she knew I was around,
her tense focus would snap.
[11:56] ---
I see.
[11:58] ---
Could you relay that to her?!
[12:01] ---
I still can't believe this...
[12:04] ---
Hey, Mei, will you tell this to Sakura?
[12:07] ---
That she doesn't need to sing my song?
[12:10] ---
--What?
--Mana.
[12:12] ---
Tell her.
[12:13] ---
O-Okay.
[12:15] ---
Mana's saying that you
don't have to sing her song.
[12:19] ---
What? But why?
[12:21] ---
It's not your own song, Sakura.
[12:24] ---
The listener is sensitive to those things.
[12:28] ---
To whom is it being sung?
[12:30] ---
What is the singer thinking on stage...?
[12:34] ---
Are they desperate?
[12:35] ---
Sad? Happy? They can sense it all.
[12:39] ---
Slow down! I can't remember
every word you say!
[12:43] ---
Listen, Sakura.
[12:45] ---
You can't reach the top as an idol
[12:47] ---
unless you sing from the bottom of
your heart, the song only you can sing.
[12:51] ---
What you need to face isn't Kotono or me.
[12:55] ---
It's the people who support you.
[12:58] ---
You'll never move anyone's heart
if you don't put in your all.
[13:03] ---
Mana, Sakura can't hear your voice...
[13:07] ---
Put in my all...
[13:10] ---
Sakura...
[13:11] ---
Did you hear her?
[13:13] ---
No...
[13:15] ---
But my heart...
[13:18] ---
It felt like it said that...
[13:21] ---
So it really is my heart.
[13:24] ---
My life was saved by this heart.
[13:29] ---
As long as I follow the beating of this heart,
things will go well and everything becomes fun.
[13:35] ---
Is that all being an idol is to you?
[13:37] ---
Mana...
[13:39] ---
Is that the only reason you came
to become an idol, Sakura?
[13:44] ---
What is it...?
[13:45] ---
Was your becoming an idol solely based on your
heart's guidance without any of your own will?
[13:52] ---
At first it was.
[13:55] ---
But...
[13:56] ---
It's different now!
[13:58] ---
As I became friends with Kotono
and the others,
[14:00] ---
and started to chase after a big goal,
[14:03] ---
I realized that this was what
I truly wanted to do!
[14:07] ---
That's why I am really grateful for this heart.
[14:12] ---
It's allowed me to find what I really wanted to
do, something I wasn't able to realize myself.
[14:18] ---
It means this heart is
partly Sakura's, too, now.
[14:22] ---
Sakura is herself plus your heart.
[14:25] ---
Along with how she sounds like you and how she
takes action based on the beating of that heart.
[14:32] ---
I was always worried.
[14:35] ---
Is it okay for me to sing Miss Mana's song?
[14:39] ---
But now that I know this heart belonged
to Mana, I've reached clarity.
[14:44] ---
I'm the one who has to sing that song!
[14:48] ---
I don't know if I could sing it
as well as you, Miss Mana...
[14:51] ---
But I want to tell Kotono, too.
[14:53] ---
Since this is Miss Mana's heart,
I will take responsibility for singing it!
[14:59] ---
When she puts it like that,
[15:01] ---
I have to agree with her!
[15:06] ---
No.
[15:08] ---
That's still not enough.
[15:10] ---
Mana?
[15:11] ---
I'll explain it all right now.
[15:14] ---
So Makino, relay it to Sakura verbatim!
[15:18] ---
What? Verbatim?
[15:20] ---
Wait a minute.
[15:23] ---
It's true that I regret how I couldn't
sing that song in the finals.
[15:28] ---
Because I really wanted everyone
to hear that wonderful song.
[15:34] ---
But I never thought of having
someone else sing it.
[15:37] ---
If I had wanted to dispel this feeling, I would
have to be the one who sings it on stage.
[15:42] ---
It may not seem like it,
but I still have pride as an idol.
[15:45] ---
No matter how good the singer is,
[15:47] ---
or even if they sound exactly like me,
[15:50] ---
I don't think they would be able
to sing it better than me!
[15:53] ---
My song only belongs to me!
[16:00] ---
Above all else, what I want is for you
and Kotono to stand at the top as idols.
[16:05] ---
You can get there.
[16:07] ---
I've seen many idols so far,
[16:10] ---
and I felt potential from you two.
[16:13] ---
But you can't go on like this.
[16:16] ---
You won't make it unless you're able to sing
the song only you, and no one else, can sing.
[16:23] ---
Don't worry about me at all--
[16:25] ---
just find your song with your members.
[16:29] ---
And I want you to aim for the top
as you work hard as rivals.
[16:34] ---
I was able to work as hard as I did
because of Rio of LizNoir, too.
[16:40] ---
I didn't want to admit that
at the time, though.
[16:44] ---
Oh, you don't have to type that out.
[16:47] ---
I want to see Moon Tempest and
Sunny Peace stand at the top.
[16:52] ---
We can...?
[16:54] ---
She says you can stand at the top as idols!
[17:00] ---
That's the only thing...
[17:02] ---
...that will fulfill what I left undone.
[17:11] ---
I'm going to talk to Kotono about my heart.
[17:14] ---
About Mana's ghost, too?
[17:16] ---
If Miss Mana doesn't want that, I won't.
[17:20] ---
Thank you.
[17:21] ---
She says, "Thank you."
[17:28] ---
Mana, what is the thing you left undone--?
[17:32] ---
Mana?!
[17:34] ---
"Analyze Math II+B"
"Physics"
"Voice Training"
"Dance Training”
[17:36] ---
So it's really my sister's heart?
[17:39] ---
Yeah.
[17:40] ---
I don't know if that's the reason
I'm able to sing with her voice, though.
[17:46] ---
Big Sister's...
[17:47] ---
So, I don't know how to say this...
[17:51] ---
Sakura.
[17:53] ---
Can I ask you a weird favor...?
[17:56] ---
What is it?
[17:58] ---
The heartbeat...
[18:00] ---
Will you let me listen to it?
[18:03] ---
So...
[18:05] ---
Yeah.
[18:26] ---
Big Sister...
[18:31] ---
Sorry.
[18:31] ---
No worries.
[18:34] ---
So, this is the thing, Kotono...
[18:39] ---
I've decided!
[18:49] ---
Mana, are you okay?
[18:52] ---
I'm okay.
[18:53] ---
I just can't keep my energy up.
[18:56] ---
Energy?
[18:57] ---
Yeah.
[18:58] ---
--My body feels heavy...
--♬ As the precious things ♬
[19:03] ---
Sakura...?
[19:06] ---
--♬ Stay the same ♬
[19:08] ---
--Huh?
--♬ Stay the same ♬
[19:10] ---
--I'm suddenly feeling better...

[19:33] ---

[19:34] ---

[19:35] ---
--I've decided that the next performance will be
the last I sing with Miss Mana's voice.
--♬ Your gaze ♬
[19:39] ---

[19:43] ---

[19:51] ---
Hello! I'm Sakura Kawasaki of Sunny Peace.
[19:55] ---
I'd like to take this opportunity
to speak to you all.
[20:03] ---
Three years ago,
I received a heart transplant.
[20:08] ---
From my life-threatening disease,
[20:11] ---
what saved me was a heart
from an unknown donor
[20:15] ---
that was transplanted into me.
[20:18] ---
Not only did it save my life,
[20:20] ---
I believe that I am able to stand here
as an idol because of this heart, too.
[20:26] ---
Sakura.
[20:27] ---
I am aware of the different rumors
surrounding my heart.
[20:32] ---
In regard to organ transplant surgery,
[20:34] ---
for privacy and fairness, any information
is kept confidential in this country,
[20:39] ---
even to the donor and receiver.
[20:43] ---
So...
[20:44] ---
I'm unable to say whether
the rumors are true or not.
[20:49] ---
I've wondered who the donor
might be over and over again!
[20:54] ---
There were many people
I've imagined it could be,
[20:57] ---
but there was only one feeling
I've wanted to express!
[21:00] ---
Today... For today's performance...
[21:03] ---
Please let me put in all the feelings
I have right now and sing.
[23:10] ---
The winner is...
[23:12] ---
"Sunny Peace"
[23:14] ---
...Sunny Peace!

[00:05] ---
Becoming an idol was always my dream.
[00:09] ---
To become an idol who shines more than anything
[00:12] ---
that can be found in a fairy tale
or starry night sky...
[00:19] ---
Next, please.
[00:24] ---
I'm Rui Tendo, ♪32.
[00:27] ---
Thank you very much.
[00:32] ---
When I decided to audition for Van Productions,
[00:34] ---
my mother revealed to me
[00:37] ---
that this man was my father.
[00:40] ---
That he was a man who chose work
over me and my mother.
[00:49] ---
Your record shows you're well-practiced.
[00:52] ---
I've got no complaints regarding your ability.
[00:57] ---
Do you have something to say?
[01:00] ---
No.
[01:02] ---
All right.
[01:03] ---
So what kind of idol do you aim
to be with our agency?
[01:07] ---
An idol who stands at the top!
[01:10] ---
I'm determined to become an idol
[01:12] ---
who gives hope to people,
[01:14] ---
and shines so brightly
[01:16] ---
that no one can take their eyes off of me.
[01:23] ---
The third performance of the second round
was conquered by Moon Tempest!
[01:26] ---
We're up next.
[01:27] ---
--And now, the deciding battle of who gets to
proceed to the semi-finals is about to commence!
[01:28] ---
--Rui!
--And now, the deciding battle of who gets to
proceed to the semi-finals is about to commence!
[01:29] ---
--And now, the deciding battle of who gets to
proceed to the semi-finals is about to commence!
[01:33] ---
Let's go.
[01:34] ---
Yeah.
[01:36] ---
First up...
[01:38] ---
...is TRINITYAiLE!
[03:16] ---
Wow!
[03:17] ---
Things are getting charged up, aren't they?
[03:20] ---
I'm glad our battle is next week.
[03:21] ---
"B Block semi-finalist"
I'm glad our battle is next week.
[03:23] ---
"Rui Tendo"
I feel bad for Sakura and them,
since we're the ones
[03:25] ---
"Yu Suzumura"
who get time to prepare sufficiently.
[03:27] ---
"Sumire Okuyama"
It's just how it is.
[03:29] ---
The order was randomly chosen.
[03:33] ---
Wanting to come up with lyrics
[03:35] ---
and choreography on their own
at the very last minute--
[03:38] ---
they're actually pretty bold.
[03:44] ---
Change the song?
[03:45] ---
Yes!
[03:46] ---
I've decided that today is the last day
I sing with Miss Mana's voice.
[03:51] ---
Everyone approved.
[03:53] ---
Sakura told us...
[03:56] ---
"From here on out, let's discover songs
that only Sunny Peace can sing."
[04:00] ---
Only Sunny Peace can sing...?
[04:02] ---
It's been really fun all this time...
[04:05] ---
But we're idols, too, after all.
[04:08] ---
We can't keep relying on Sakura's voice.
[04:11] ---
We all need to shine, too, right?
[04:16] ---
I didn't know you all felt that way.
[04:19] ---
What do you think, Mr. Makino?
[04:23] ---
Got it. Let's go with that.
[04:29] ---
They're starting to take chances.
[04:31] ---
I'm excited to see their next performance!
[04:37] ---
Will they be ready by the performance?
[04:39] ---
Didn't you approve,
believing that they would?
[04:44] ---
True...
[04:45] ---
Teacher, will you check us?
[04:47] ---
Of course!
[04:49] ---
I'll also do the best I can.
[04:53] ---
It's fun to watch my students grow.
[04:58] ---
Thank you very much.
[05:01] ---
I'm coming!
[05:02] ---
Which part?
[05:03] ---
It's this count right here...
[05:12] ---
I'm so nervous.
[05:14] ---
Yeah, since you're the one
bringing it all together at the end!
[05:16] ---
What?
[05:17] ---
Let's all work hard together!
[05:20] ---
Look! It's Sunny Peace!
[05:23] ---
Whoa.
[05:24] ---
It's Sumire!
[05:25] ---
TRINITYAiLE!
[05:30] ---
Hello!
[05:31] ---
This is the first time
we've gotten to talk, right?
[05:34] ---
We've been watching you since the first round.
[05:37] ---
You were watching us?
[05:39] ---
Of course!
[05:41] ---
Your performance in
the first round was adorable!
[05:43] ---
The performance in the second round
was so lovely--it moved me!
[05:46] ---
P-Please...
[05:48] ---
The song for the second round.
[05:50] ---
I heard that was the song Miss Mana Nagase
was supposed to sing.
[05:54] ---
Is that true?
[05:57] ---
Yes.
[05:58] ---
I see.
[05:59] ---
It's a good song.
[06:01] ---
If I were to watch Miss Mana perform live,
[06:03] ---
I wonder if her performance would
move my heart like it did with yours.
[06:09] ---
If I win against you,
[06:10] ---
would that mean I've surpassed Miss Mana?
[06:13] ---
What?
[06:14] ---
I'm looking forward to the semi-finals.
[06:17] ---
I'm sorry.
[06:19] ---
We're not planning on singing
that song ever again.
[06:23] ---
What do you mean?
[06:25] ---
We'll be aiming for the top
[06:27] ---
with our own song...
[06:29] ---
With Sunny Peace's song!
[06:32] ---
Do you think you can
[06:34] ---
surpass Miss Mana with that song?
[06:36] ---
I don't know.
[06:38] ---
But we've already made up our minds!
[06:40] ---
I see...
[06:42] ---
Well, that still doesn't change things much.
[06:45] ---
Let's both do our best and aim for the top.
[06:49] ---
Yes!
[06:50] ---
Everyone!
[06:51] ---
The press conference is about to start.
[06:53] ---
Sorry, we'll be right there!
[06:57] ---
All right, why don't we all go together then?
[06:59] ---
Y-Yes!
[07:03] ---
Then,
[07:05] ---
why don't we go with "les plume"
for the semi-finals?
[07:08] ---
Yes! That song seems to work
the best for us right now.
[07:12] ---
To the point that I can tell how everyone
is moving with my eyes closed!
[07:17] ---
Do you have any issues with this?
[07:19] ---
No.
[07:20] ---
That's the option with
the highest chance of winning.
[07:24] ---
I'm curious about what kind
of song Sunny Peace will sing,
[07:29] ---
"Second Round Sunny Peace"
after sealing Mana Nagase's song.
[07:33] ---
Mana Nagase is an idol of the past.
[07:37] ---
We'll prove that by winning this battle.
[07:42] ---
We'll surpass her undefeated record, too.
[07:45] ---
Like I've said before,
[07:47] ---
as long as you're fixated on the record,
[07:49] ---
you'll never reach Mana Nagase's level.
[07:54] ---
Gosh.
[07:56] ---
You always get like that
in front of President, Rui.
[08:00] ---
You're the only one in the industry who
can talk back to Mr. Asakura like that, Rui.
[08:05] ---
I didn't think I said anything wrong.
[08:09] ---
I was thinking you'd gotten a lot softer,
[08:11] ---
but I see now you haven't changed
one bit since our training school years.
[08:15] ---
You mean, before you two formed a group?
[08:18] ---
Yup.
[08:20] ---
Rui stood out ever since she joined the agency.
[08:24] ---
She was better at dancing
and singing than everyone.
[08:30] ---
She ended up silencing everyone
with her abilities in the end.
[08:34] ---
I can totally see that.
[08:37] ---
She's has and always will be 100% pure Rui.
[08:41] ---
You haven't changed one bit.
[08:43] ---
Are you making fun of me?
[08:45] ---
Not at all!
[08:47] ---
I'm saying that you're strong and cool, Rui!
[08:50] ---
That I love you!
[08:52] ---
So you are making fun of me.
[08:54] ---
I'm being serious!
[08:56] ---
I think we've come all this way
because you're the way you are, Rui.
[09:00] ---
Me, too!
[09:02] ---
So Rui, before you wear yourself out
doing everything by yourself, rely on us, too!
[09:06] ---
That's what TRINITYAiLE is for!
[09:09] ---
I know.
[09:11] ---
We've advanced this far,
the three of us together.
[09:13] ---
Until now, and from here on out...
[09:17] ---
This feeling will never change.
[09:23] ---
Amazing...
[09:25] ---
She's completely different from other idols.
[09:28] ---
She's got a great presence.
[09:30] ---
It's true, her performance is overwhelming,
[09:33] ---
incomparable with other idols.
[09:36] ---
But I don't think she's unbeatable at all.
[09:39] ---
It's just that he approves
of Mana Nagase and not me.
[09:44] ---
I'm still lacking something.
[09:47] ---
Don't you think President gets more emotional
than usual when he talks about Miss Mana?
[09:52] ---
I wonder if he's only interested
in idols that are at Miss Mana's level.
[09:56] ---
Maybe he's aiming higher.
[09:59] ---
An idol who will be even more legendary
than Miss Mana, perhaps?
[10:03] ---
That just means we need to become
idols that change history.
[10:07] ---
What?
[10:08] ---
In order for him to recognize us
as the top idols,
[10:11] ---
we need to be idols that surpass Mana Nagase.
[10:15] ---
Rui...
[10:16] ---
You say that like it's easy,
but it's going to take a lot of work!
[10:20] ---
I know that.
[10:22] ---
But...
[10:24] ---
If we're aiming for the top with all our might,
that'll be an obstacle we'll eventually face!
[10:28] ---
Let's do this, Rui!
[10:30] ---
That's what I want to do!
[10:32] ---
You're both so passionate.
[10:34] ---
In any case, I feel the same, too.
[10:37] ---
To be honest, I don't think our dancing
and singing are inferior to Miss Mana's.
[10:42] ---
To Miss Mana... No...
[10:44] ---
Let's become idols that won't lose to anyone!
[10:48] ---
Yeah.
[10:55] ---
Let's surpass her, no matter what.
[11:01] ---
With the three of us.
[11:12] ---
Why don't we have hot pot after practice today?
[11:15] ---
It's getting cold, so that sounds nice!
[11:18] ---
Are we doing that in my room again?
[11:21] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[11:27] ---
It's all coming together well.
[11:28] ---
Yeah! It's really looking good!
[11:31] ---
It feels fun, no matter
how many times we do it.
[11:35] ---
When was the last time I practiced this
frantically from morning until night like this?
[11:40] ---
If we win the next battle, we'll just have
to keep that momentum for the finals.
[11:43] ---
You're right.
[11:46] ---
I want to... go to the finals.
[11:49] ---
We will.
[11:51] ---
Maybe...
[11:53] ---
Our next opponent is TRINITYAiLE.
[11:55] ---
A super popular idol group that's
never been defeated since their debut.
[11:59] ---
They're that good?
[12:01] ---
That trio's performance
is absolute perfection!
[12:04] ---
Their flawless performance
makes them the strongest!
[12:08] ---
The strongest, huh?
[12:10] ---
Plus, I can sense from their performance
their powerful will to never lose.
[12:16] ---
A powerful...
[12:18] ---
...will...
[12:19] ---
It's going to be all right!
[12:22] ---
We can pull off a performance
that doesn't lose to TRINITYAiLE!
[12:26] ---
I'm sure of it!
[12:27] ---
Is the beating of your heart
telling you that again?
[12:31] ---
No.
[12:32] ---
But I believe in all of you...
[12:35] ---
Chisa...
[12:38] ---
Haruko...
[12:40] ---
Shizuku...
[12:43] ---
Rei...
[12:45] ---
So let's do everything we possibly can.
[12:49] ---
I agree.
[12:50] ---
Let's rehearse it again.
[12:52] ---
Yes.
[12:53] ---
All right, let's check our positions!
[12:56] ---
Seems like everyone's fired up.
[12:59] ---
Yeah, there's no stopping them.
[13:03] ---
I can't wait to watch them
[13:05] ---
stand on the finals stage.
[13:09] ---
Mana?
[13:10] ---
Stop.
[13:11] ---
Huh?
[13:13] ---
Makino, you should be watching...
[13:16] ---
...over there.
[13:21] ---
Right?
[13:25] ---
You're right...
[13:27] ---
At this rate, they'll say
I don't have to be here.
[13:30] ---
Exactly.
[13:32] ---
You're supposed to disagree.
[13:38] ---
Idoly Pride.
[13:50] ---
We've aimed for the top ever since we started.
[13:53] ---
Unless we continue to win... Continue to soar...
[13:56] ---
We won't gain anything.
[13:58] ---
And today, we'll finally achieve...
[14:02] ---
The undefeated record
that surpasses Miss Mana's!
[14:09] ---
T-Today's the day...
[14:11] ---
Calm down, just do as you always do.
[14:13] ---
Th-That's right. It's all going to be okay.
[14:16] ---
Just think of it as another practice session.
[14:21] ---
What's the matter?
[14:23] ---
I just thought, in a way,
today is my real debut.
[14:27] ---
I'm going on stage with my song,
without borrowing Miss Mana's voice.
[14:34] ---
I love your voice right now, Sakura.
[14:38] ---
I'm sure everyone will love it, too.
[14:43] ---
Thanks!
[14:46] ---
The B Block semi-finals will begin momentarily
[14:49] ---
kicking off with the concert battle
between Sunny Peace and TRINITYAiLE.
[14:55] ---
It's time.
[14:57] ---
Mr. Makino, do you have any words for us?
[15:00] ---
Well, let's see...
[15:03] ---
Have fun!
[15:05] ---
Yes!
[15:13] ---
Let's make everyone's hearts
dance with our song!
[15:15] ---
With our pure, white wings!
[15:17] ---
We'll race through the world!
[15:19] ---

The tallied results will be coming in shortly.
[19:43] ---
Which idol will move on to the finals?
[19:48] ---
Now, the results are in!
[19:52] ---
The idol going to the finals...
[19:59] ---
...is Sunny Peace!
[20:07] ---
No way...
[20:09] ---
The finals...
[20:11] ---
We did it!
[20:12] ---
We did it!
[20:15] ---
Everyone!
[20:21] ---
Congratulations.
[20:23] ---
Miss Rui.
[20:24] ---
I-I'm sorry. Excuse us
for celebrating in front of you.
[20:28] ---
It's okay.
[20:30] ---
We would be happy if we'd won, too.
[20:34] ---
I'd assumed your voice
resonated in my heart
[20:36] ---
because you sounded like Miss Mana.
[20:40] ---
But... that wasn't the case.
[20:42] ---
Miss Rui...
[20:50] ---
Thank you for giving
your best performance.
[21:09] ---
Our undefeated record stops here.
[21:12] ---
Sorry, Rui.
[21:15] ---
Our performance today was our best yet.
[21:19] ---
And Sunny Peace's performance surpassed that.
[21:21] ---
That's all.
[21:37] ---
No record can stand forever.
[21:44] ---
What idols need is a story.
[21:47] ---
It can only be told on the brilliant stage.
[21:54] ---
It was a good performance.

[00:03] ---
We did it! We're going to the finals!
[00:05] ---
--Hey! Rei!
[00:06] ---
--Congratulations.
--Hey! Rei!
[00:11] ---
--I was watching intently...
The reborn Sunny Peace!
--Congratulations!
[00:12] ---
--I was watching intently...
The reborn Sunny Peace!
--Thanks.
[00:14] ---
It's Moon Tempest's turn next!
[00:17] ---
Yeah.
[00:24] ---
I feel heavy...
[00:26] ---
Are you okay?
[00:28] ---
I'm fine.
[00:32] ---
Mana, are you okay?
[00:35] ---
It's nothing.
[00:36] ---
This is happening because Sakura
stopped singing with Mana's voice.
[00:40] ---
Makino...
[00:42] ---
Sakura's been taking action solely
based on the guidance of her heartbeat.
[00:48] ---
Her heart used to be Mana's.
[00:50] ---
Because the heart lived on,
Mana has been able to exist like this.
[00:54] ---
Makino, that's enough.
[00:57] ---
But now, Sakura is singing with
her own voice, with her own will.
[01:02] ---
Mana's heart is rapidly
turning into Sakura's heart.
[01:06] ---
Then, if Sakura continues to sing
with her own voice...
[01:13] ---
I'm going to let Sakura know!
[01:16] ---
Huh?
[01:18] ---
Mr. Makino...
[01:20] ---
I'm glad...
[01:22] ---
You're still the Makino I know.
[01:24] ---
But why?
[01:26] ---
Sakura and Kotono have finally found
their purpose and are moving forward.
[01:32] ---
Everyone is trying to follow them, too.
[01:35] ---
Makino wouldn't do anything
to hinder them, never!
[01:40] ---
But you're going to disappear, Mana!
[01:42] ---
If you don't do anything,
you're going to die!
[01:45] ---
I'm already dead.
[01:49] ---
You're not going to say anything to Kotono?
[01:53] ---
I don't want to keep quiet like this.
[01:57] ---
Mana, isn't it about time
you talk to Kotono?
[02:00] ---
What?
[02:01] ---
No, I think you should.
[02:04] ---
It's for Kotono's sake.
[02:05] ---
There may not be much time left.
[02:09] ---
Okay... You're right.
[02:12] ---
I have to finish... my last assignment.
[02:17] ---
I know it's hard to believe this
coming out of the blue...
[02:21] ---
But it's true. Please believe it.
[02:25] ---
If it's true... Is my sister here right now?
[02:30] ---
She's not here right now.
[02:32] ---
She said she'd see you
only if you wanted to.
[02:35] ---
I see.
[02:37] ---
Do you believe us?
[02:39] ---
If it were the usual me,
I think I'd never believe it.
[02:42] ---
But I don't think you'd go out of your way
to tell me a lie during this crucial time.
[02:47] ---
Will you see her?
[02:49] ---
--I won't.
--What?
[02:50] ---
But why?
[02:52] ---
I can't right now. I'd rather see her
after the Grand Prix.
[02:56] ---
That's going to be too late!
[02:58] ---
Too late?
[03:00] ---
I meant... That seems too late
when you can see her right away.
[03:05] ---
Mana's finally made up her mind to see you.
[03:07] ---
Will you see her?
[03:10] ---
I've always chased after my sister's back.
[03:15] ---
In order to fulfill the dream
she couldn't achieve.
[03:20] ---
When I entrusted my sister's song
to Sakura, I started to feel lost.
[03:24] ---
What's my reason for
performing from here on out?
[03:28] ---
But...
[03:29] ---
I think I'm close to figuring it out!
[03:31] ---
How I'm supposed to proceed
as Kotono of Moon Tempest!
[03:36] ---
If I find out what my sister
thinks of all this...
[03:40] ---
You would lose that?
[03:42] ---
Regardless of whether she's
affirmative or negative,
[03:45] ---
I have a feeling it would end something.
[03:56] ---
Kotono?
[03:58] ---
Sakura...?
[04:05] ---
I see. You knew about my sister, too.
[04:08] ---
Yeah, I found out when I was told
my heart belonged to Miss Mana.
[04:15] ---
So Sakura, can you...
[04:17] ---
Can you see her?
[04:19] ---
No, I can't see her.
[04:22] ---
But I thought I heard Miss Mana's
voice through this heart.
[04:27] ---
She told me to put in my all
and sing the song only I can sing.
[04:32] ---
After hearing Miss Mana's words,
I felt that I needed to change.
[04:36] ---
That I needed to take action based on my own
will, not just relying on my heart's guidance.
[04:41] ---
I was able to get this far
because my sister disappeared.
[04:46] ---
Miss Mana was saying the same thing.
[04:48] ---
What?
[04:50] ---
She said if she were to talk to you now,
your tense focus would snap.
[04:56] ---
She said that...?
[04:57] ---
But even with that, Miss Mana said
she wanted to see you, right?
[05:01] ---
There must be a reason for it.
[05:05] ---
Regardless, she's your sister! She must
have a lot she wants to talk to you about.
[05:11] ---
Is that not the case for you, Kotono?
[05:13] ---
I...
[05:24] ---
By a curious coincidence, you'll be facing
an idol of Hoshimi Productions again,
[05:28] ---
and among them Miss Mana Nagase's
biological sister, Miss Kotono,
[05:31] ---
for this upcoming semi-final battle.
[05:32] ---
How does LizNoir feel about
this strange quirk of fate?
[05:38] ---
In that sense, I think we will be able to
achieve a performance that won't disappoint.
[05:44] ---
Nevertheless, there aren't any special feelings.
[05:46] ---
No matter who we're up against,
we give it our all on stage
[05:49] ---
and aim for victory.
[05:52] ---
"Reserved for Moon Tempest"
[05:53] ---
I know, right?
[05:54] ---
Where's Kotono?
[05:55] ---
She said she had a matter to tend to...
[05:58] ---
A matter?
[06:01] ---
You're asking me what kind of
idol Mana Nagase was?
[06:04] ---
Yes.
[06:05] ---
You're really asking me that as her sister?
[06:08] ---
My sister was never home
once she became an idol,
[06:12] ---
so I don't know anything.
[06:14] ---
You weren't interested in idols?
[06:16] ---
If I had to say anything...
I'd say I hated them.
[06:19] ---
But you are one now.
[06:22] ---
Are you doing this for Mana?
[06:25] ---
At first, I was.
[06:27] ---
I'm sure this sounds irritating
to you, Miss Rio.
[06:30] ---
My initial purpose was money.
[06:33] ---
What?
[06:35] ---
I wanted to take care of my mother.
[06:36] ---
I didn't want to give up on the family business.
[06:39] ---
To do that, becoming an idol was the option
that seemed the most doable to me.
[06:43] ---
I see...
[06:45] ---
But with that kind of purpose,
although my technique improved,
[06:48] ---
I still wasn't able to move people's hearts.
[06:51] ---
Aoi was the one who taught me
about what I lacked.
[06:55] ---
She was discovered by Mr. Saegusa,
who was our manager back then.
[07:00] ---
Mr. Saegusa...?
[07:01] ---
I wanted to make our debut as soon as possible,
to become popular as soon as possible...
[07:05] ---
Aoi said it felt heavy watching me
dance with those feelings.
[07:09] ---
She had the right to say that because her
dancing was light, free, and felt good.
[07:15] ---
Then with Mr. Saegusa as our producer,
we formed LizNoir.
[07:20] ---
With a favorable start, busy days followed.
[07:23] ---
But at one point, Mr. Saegusa quit
the agency and had to leave us.
[07:30] ---
After a while, he established
Hoshimi Productions
[07:34] ---
and met Mana Nagase.
[07:37] ---
Of course I minded that.
[07:39] ---
But Mana Nagase never showed
any interest in us.
[07:44] ---
It got on my nerves.
[07:45] ---
I felt like I was being ignored.
[07:48] ---
One time...
[07:53] ---
It's annoying to admit, but I was
moved listening to her sing.
[07:58] ---
A performance that energized me.
[08:00] ---
It made my feelings brighter and made me smile.
[08:03] ---
I wanted to watch her forever.
[08:05] ---
It was a performance that made me
realize that I actually liked her.
[08:11] ---
Watching her perform, I realized
this is the power of idols.
[08:16] ---
Why people come to like idols and support them.
[08:19] ---
I felt I understood that for the first time.
[08:22] ---
Mana Nagase is that kind of entity for me.
[08:26] ---
That's why I want to win.
[08:28] ---
If Mana Nagase is a true idol,
[08:31] ---
by surpassing her, I'll be able
to recognize myself as an idol.
[08:36] ---
But my sister...
[08:38] ---
Yes...
[08:39] ---
That's why I'm going to win the competition
where I was supposed to face her.
[08:43] ---
I'll see the sight one of us
should've seen three years ago.
[08:47] ---
And then I'll ask myself...
[08:49] ---
...whether I've surpassed
Mana Nagase or not.
[08:52] ---
If I've become an idol who can move
everyone's hearts and energize them.
[08:57] ---
We are the same, after all.
[08:59] ---
You've always been chasing after my sister.
[09:03] ---
What I said at the press
conference is half true.
[09:06] ---
I have no interest in the fact that
you're Mana Nagase's sister.
[09:10] ---
But half of it is a lie.
[09:12] ---
I'm probably fixated on Mana Nagase
more than anyone else.
[09:16] ---
What?
[09:18] ---
Let's bring our genuine feelings
to the stage on battle day.
[09:21] ---
Song against song, let's compete
with all our strength.
[09:25] ---
Yes.
[09:28] ---
Miss Rio!
[09:31] ---
I'm sure my sister is watching!
[09:34] ---
She's watching me and you, too, Miss Rio!
[09:38] ---
I have a feeling she is...
[09:44] ---
I'll believe that, for now.
[09:48] ---
Idoly Pride.
[10:02] ---
Sorry...
[10:03] ---
Don't apologize.
[10:05] ---
--No!
--If this were the case...
[10:07] ---
Don't say it!
[10:08] ---
I wish I never had a sister!
[10:17] ---
I'm sorry.
[10:23] ---
Big Sister...
[10:41] ---
"Rio Kanzaki of LizNoir...
I feel a great energy from her.
Wow, Mr. Saegusa discovered
quite a talent... Jeez."
[10:50] ---
She rejected me.
[10:52] ---
Being told in the face like that is rough.
[10:56] ---
But I did work hard writing the lyrics for her.
[10:59] ---
I really want to sing this song
for the finals performance.
[11:03] ---
Tomorrow is Kotono's birthday.
[11:06] ---
Even if she doesn't come see me,
she's still my only dearest sister.
[11:12] ---
I love you, Kotono.
[11:16] ---
"Kotono's Birthday"
[11:18] ---
"Birthday"
[11:23] ---
Big Sister...
[11:32] ---
Kotono?
[11:37] ---
What do you think an idol is?
[11:39] ---
You're asking a complicated question.
[11:42] ---
What did my sister say?
[11:44] ---
Don't know... I've never asked.
[11:47] ---
Even though you worked with her?
[11:50] ---
Why don't you ask her yourself?
[11:52] ---
Is it not an illusion only you and Mei can see?
[11:55] ---
That's what I thought in the beginning, too.
[11:57] ---
But it's not.
[11:59] ---
Why did she appear as a ghost?
[12:02] ---
She says she wants to stand on
the finals stage, but that's a joke.
[12:06] ---
I bet she was worried about you, Kotono.
[12:09] ---
--I don't think so.
--Huh?
[12:12] ---
If that were the case, wouldn't it
make more sense if she appeared to me?
[12:15] ---
True.
[12:16] ---
Since this is my sister, I'm sure it's not
for herself, but for somebody else.
[12:23] ---
Somebody else?
[12:24] ---
I asked her this a long time ago.
[12:27] ---
"Is there somebody you like?"
[12:31] ---
There is!
[12:31] ---
What kind of person is he?
[12:33] ---
He doesn't stand out.
He's unreliable and a bit dull.
[12:37] ---
Everything about him is so ordinary!
[12:40] ---
But he's always willing to help those
in need and to scold the bad people.
[12:46] ---
He's that ordinary!
[12:48] ---
It made sense to me.
[12:51] ---
Would you like someone that ordinary?
[12:54] ---
I can understand why my sister was befuddled.
[13:08] ---
Kotono...?
[13:14] ---
I'm thinking of talking to my sister.
[13:20] ---
She can't converse with her
without us interpreting.
[13:24] ---
She said she's fine by herself.
[13:28] ---
Big Sister, I have a lot to ask
and apologize to you about.
[13:36] ---
About the last night...
[13:38] ---
Your thoughts around it and how you felt
when you wrote that diary entry...
[13:44] ---
But I've decided to not ask you anything.
[13:47] ---
Because those are the things I have
to find closure for by myself.
[13:52] ---
I never understood what idols were or
why you worked so frantically to be one.
[14:01] ---
But now I understand.
[14:04] ---
Going on stage, delivering songs
to everyone, and seeing their joy...
[14:09] ---
What a wonderful thing that is.
[14:12] ---
That's why...
[14:15] ---
That's why...
[14:17] ---
I won't chase after you anymore.
[14:20] ---
I don't want to stand on stage
in lieu of you, either!
[14:25] ---
Like you, Big Sister, I want
to love idols even more
[14:31] ---
and bring joy to far more people.
[14:35] ---
I want to discover the idol I want
to be for myself and move forward.
[14:43] ---
Does this make you happy?
Or maybe you're sad...
[14:47] ---
But... You're listening to me, right?
You're watching me...
[14:55] ---
Big Sister...
[15:03] ---
Sounds good to me.
[15:12] ---
The A Block semi-final battle
[15:16] ---
between Moon Tempest and
LizNoir will begin momentarily.
[15:21] ---
Watch LizNoir's performance very carefully.
[15:25] ---
They'll definitely win, right?
[15:27] ---
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
[15:29] ---
What?!
[15:36] ---
I'm looking forward to the finals performance.
[15:39] ---
I have no desire to be friendly
with an opponent.
[15:43] ---
How could you be like that?
[15:46] ---
Are you mocking us?
[15:48] ---
I was just hoping to make it a fun performance.
[15:52] ---
But... okay.
[15:54] ---
Then, if I win the finals,
come shake my hand first.
[15:58] ---
What?
[15:59] ---
Normally, I don't care about winning or losing.
[16:03] ---
But that just now got on my nerves.
[16:05] ---
I'm wanting to win for the first time.
[16:08] ---
There have been many idols
who declared that they'd defeat me.
[16:13] ---
But I've never lost to anyone yet.
[16:15] ---
Rio and I won't lose.
[16:18] ---
We're the ones who are going to win.
[16:20] ---
Be prepared, Mana Nagase.
[16:22] ---
We'll make you taste your first failure.
[16:27] ---
Then, shall we?
[16:30] ---
Now, let's show them who we are.
[16:58] ---

[20:27] ---
Now, who will move forward to the finals?
[20:30] ---
Will it be LizNoir, who made it
to the finals last time?
[20:33] ---
Or the freshly debuted new face,
Moon Tempest?!
[20:36] ---
And now, the fated results are in!
[20:40] ---
"Moon Tempest"
[20:46] ---
The finalist is...
[20:52] ---
Moon Tempest!
[20:57] ---
We did it, Suzu-nyan!
[21:03] ---
I had a lot of fun.
[21:07] ---
Me, too.
[21:09] ---
So the finals is a battle between
Hoshimi Productions idols.
[21:12] ---
Didn't expect you all to grow this much.
[21:16] ---
Miss Rio, Miss Aoi...
[21:33] ---
Make it the best finals ever.
[21:35] ---
Yes!
[21:39] ---
Miss Rio!
[21:42] ---
I heard my sister considered you her rival.
[21:46] ---
There's no way.
[21:48] ---
She pretended to act indifferent
because she felt that you were her rival.
[21:52] ---
She's just like you, Rio.
[21:57] ---
If that's the case...
[21:58] ---
...I need to work hard
and become a true idol.
[22:03] ---
So I don't disappoint her.
[23:28] ---
Mana...
[23:30] ---
I'm okay.
[23:32] ---
I won't disappear yet.
[23:34] ---
Not until I see everyone
stand on the finals stage!

[00:08] ---
The place where we made our first step...
[00:11] ---
It's a place we should commemorate, right?
[00:14] ---
Thanks for coming with me.
[00:15] ---
Of course. I slept early last night,
so I'm totally fine.
[00:20] ---
Mei was the one who didn't wake up--
even though I tried to wake her.
[00:23] ---
But you'd never leave me behind, right?
[00:27] ---
Wh-Who knows? I wonder...
[00:30] ---
You're so stubborn, Suzu-nyan!
[00:32] ---
Stop it, Mei!
[00:34] ---
--Suzu-nyan, you're so warm!
--I said stop, Mei!
[00:36] ---
Big Sister took her first step here, too.
[00:40] ---
And today,
[00:41] ---
we're going to stand on the finals stage she
was supposed to stand on three years ago.
[00:46] ---
We really made it.
[00:48] ---
Yeah.
[00:49] ---
Look! It's sunrise!
[00:51] ---
How beautiful!
[00:54] ---
Let's make it the best performance.
[00:56] ---
Yeah.
[00:58] ---
Let's go back before we catch a cold.
[01:02] ---
Kotono.
[01:04] ---
Happy birthday.
[01:11] ---
Thanks.
[01:15] ---
Hey!
[01:19] ---
Sakura...
[01:22] ---
It's so pretty.
[01:24] ---
It's so refreshing.
[01:26] ---
It's going to be an unforgettable day.
[01:30] ---
The finals stage.
[01:32] ---
Let's fight with our all.
[01:34] ---
Yup.
[01:40] ---
The weather's fine today.
[01:43] ---
Are you there, Mana?
[01:46] ---
You are, right?
[01:47] ---
You promised you wouldn't disappear
until you saw the finals performance.
[01:56] ---
Oh...?
[01:57] ---
Not here?
[01:59] ---
What is it?
[02:00] ---
Where's Mr. Makino?
[02:01] ---
He was here at the end of rehearsal...
[02:03] ---
Could he be in the other dressing room?
[02:06] ---
He wasn't there.
[02:07] ---
Where could he be?
[02:09] ---
I don't see Mana anywhere.
[02:11] ---
Yeah, she's been gone since this morning.
[02:14] ---
What?
[02:15] ---
Could it be she's already...?
[02:17] ---
No, I don't think she disappeared yet.
[02:20] ---
She said she'd watch
everyone's finals performance.
[02:24] ---
She was always good at keeping her word
for important things like that.
[02:27] ---
But she did seem really distressed.
[02:29] ---
Maybe she's trying to conserve
her energy as much as possible.
[02:33] ---
Maybe.
[02:35] ---
There you are, Mr. Makino!
[02:37] ---
What's up?
[02:38] ---
Actually, I wanted to tell Miss Mana something.
[02:42] ---
Is she here right now?
[02:43] ---
What?
[02:44] ---
Yeah...
[02:45] ---
Yeah, she's here...
[02:47] ---
Where?
[02:58] ---
Miss Mana, I'll be singing, putting in my all.
[03:03] ---
And I'll fight against Kotono and
the others with all my might.
[03:07] ---
So please watch me.
[03:15] ---
Big Sister...
[03:16] ---
I want you to watch me...
[03:20] ---
The finals performance of
Moon Tempest's Kotono Nagase.
[03:27] ---
The Next Venus Grand Prix finals battle
[03:32] ---
between Sunny Peace and Moon Tempest
will begin momentarily.
[03:36] ---
All our seniors are here!
[03:38] ---
Y-Yeah...
[03:40] ---
Hey, hey.
[03:41] ---
If you don't greet them properly,
[03:43] ---
you'll get beat up by
the scary person from LizNoir.
[03:47] ---
Wh-What?!
[03:48] ---
W-We better hurry, then!
[03:52] ---
The finals three years ago...
[03:55] ---
It was Mana Nagase vs. LizNoir.
[03:57] ---
To be honest, I couldn't imagine
LizNoir winning.
[04:02] ---
Mana at the time was unbeatable.
[04:05] ---
That finals turned out to be a mirage.
[04:08] ---
Fans are still after that mirage today.
[04:12] ---
Along with you and me.
[04:14] ---
You're right.
[04:16] ---
But watching the semi-finals
changed my thinking.
[04:20] ---
Between the current LizNoir and TRINITYAiLE,
I can't say who'd win.
[04:25] ---
Next year's even more of a toss-up.
[04:28] ---
Same goes with us, too.
[04:30] ---
I gave you the game this time--
[04:32] ---
It was a narrow margin.
[04:34] ---
Next time, I'll win.

[05:10] ---
My heart is beating so fast.
Way faster than ever before!
[05:16] ---
There's more to this sensation
than just pleasure.
[05:18] ---
It's scary and it feels like
it's about to burst.
[05:21] ---
But it continues to beat my heart passionately!
[05:24] ---
It's my very own beating heart!
[05:27] ---

"Gekka Hakanabi"
[06:45] ---
Big Sister, are you watching?
[06:49] ---
Three years ago, you said you wanted me
to watch your finals performance.
[06:54] ---
I really understand how you felt now.
[06:58] ---
And yet, that time, I...
[07:08] ---
But... I can say this now.
[07:12] ---
I'm glad you were there, Big Sister.
[07:14] ---
♬ In the true darkness ♬
[07:17] ---
♬ I couldn't see anything ♬
[07:20] ---
♬ But I found out what it means "to shine" ♬
[07:25] ---

[07:35] ---

[07:51] ---
♬ But you illuminate me ♬
[07:53] ---
♬ So I'm able to shine ♬
[08:16] ---
I was watching you, Kotono.
[08:19] ---
It was the best finals.
[08:22] ---
Thank you.
[08:23] ---
Big Sister...
[08:28] ---
Big Sister...
[08:31] ---
This is the finals!
[08:34] ---
The audience is fired up to the max!
[08:41] ---
Making their debut on the same day
from Hoshimi Productions,
[08:44] ---
it's newcomers Sunny Peace
and Moon Tempest!
[08:46] ---
The two lowest-ranked groups
of the preliminaries
[08:49] ---
unexpectedly face off in the finals!
[08:50] ---
They're the dark horses
of this year's Grand Prix!
[08:53] ---
And now, the winner gets determined here!
[08:57] ---
Next Venus Grand Prix!
[09:00] ---
Who is the winner?!
[09:05] ---
"Sunny Peace" "Moon Tempest"
[09:09] ---
This is the final count!
[09:15] ---
And the winner is...
[09:23] ---
A draw?!
[09:25] ---
Nobody was expecting this!
[09:29] ---
A...
[09:30] ---
...draw...
[09:34] ---
This is an unexpected development.
[09:38] ---
According to Grand Prix regulations...
[09:43] ---
The results just came in.
[09:45] ---
A draw that occurs with
astronomical probability.
[09:48] ---
When that happens in the finals...!
[09:52] ---
"Sunny Peace
&
Moon Tempest"
[09:53] ---
"Sunny Peace
&
Moon Tempest"
Both groups are tie-score winners!
[09:58] ---
We won...
[10:00] ---
All of us together...
[10:03] ---
Kotono! We did it!
[10:05] ---
I thought it was a wonderful performance!
[10:08] ---
Thanks, Suzu-nyan!
[10:10] ---
Thanks to you, we all had fun singing.
[10:13] ---
Y-You can't say such a thing right now!
[10:18] ---
I had a lot of fun.
[10:20] ---
Yeah, I don't want it to end yet.
[10:23] ---
Come on, we need to greet our audience.
Right, Miss Haruko?
[10:27] ---
I know, right?
[10:30] ---
Were you watching, Mana?
[10:33] ---
The finals stage where you wanted to stand...
[10:36] ---
They all performed admirably.
[10:38] ---
What did you think? Amazing, right?
[10:41] ---
Kotono and Sakura...
[10:44] ---
At last, they each performed with
their own self-discovered voice.
[10:47] ---
That was the performance you wanted, right?
[10:50] ---
Yup.
[10:52] ---
Mana?
[10:54] ---
Now there's nothing to worry about.
[10:56] ---
Mana?
[10:58] ---
Thank you.
[11:03] ---
Mana...
[11:13] ---
Everyone, that was an outstanding performance.
[11:16] ---
Congratulations.
[11:17] ---
You all did well.
[11:19] ---
Thank you very much!
[11:21] ---
The winner's performance
is happening after this.
[11:25] ---
Since you're tie-score winners,
[11:27] ---
both Sunny Peace and
Moon Tempest can perform.
[11:32] ---
That means...!
[11:33] ---
We can keep performing then?
[11:35] ---
--Yeah.
--All right!
[11:37] ---
Let's standby with the songs
each group prepared--
[11:40] ---
Actually, Mr. Makino...
[11:42] ---
What do you think of this idea?
[11:48] ---
Mr. Makino.
[11:50] ---
Was Miss Mana happy with what she saw?
[11:54] ---
Yeah.
[11:55] ---
I think I saw her, too.
[11:58] ---
My sister in the audience.
[12:00] ---
I heard her voice, too.
[12:02] ---
What was she saying?
[12:05] ---
She said, "Thank you."
[12:07] ---
Yeah, she did say that.
[12:10] ---
Hey!
[12:12] ---
The new setlist was approved.
[12:15] ---
--Got it!
--Yes!
[12:17] ---
All right everyone, get ready!
[12:20] ---
Yes!
[12:24] ---
Mr. Makino...
[12:26] ---
Where's Mana?
[12:31] ---
No...
[12:34] ---
I didn't get to say goodbye yet...
[12:37] ---
Mei.
[12:39] ---
You still need to perform.
[12:41] ---
Go do it for Mana.
[12:46] ---
Yeah... You're right!
[12:49] ---
I will!
[12:54] ---
They went beyond my expectations.
[12:59] ---
Yes.
[13:00] ---
And... you, too.
[13:05] ---
Thank you very much.
[13:07] ---
A lot happened,
[13:09] ---
but I think you're finally full-fledged now.
[13:15] ---
Um, Mr. Saegusa.
[13:17] ---
I've got a favor to ask.
[13:45] ---
Mana... You always disappear unexpectedly.
[13:50] ---
You don't let me say anything.
[13:53] ---
♬ I'm still in the middle ♬
[14:01] ---
♬ of a faraway dream ♬
[14:06] ---
♬ To the utmost go on ♬
[14:17] ---
♬ As the precious things ♬
[14:25] ---
♬ stay the same ♬
[14:30] ---
♬ From the beginning ♬
[14:31] ---
Wow! A shooting star!
[14:34] ---
♬ I want to bring my voice to you ♬
[14:41] ---
♬ Right now ♬
[14:48] ---
♬ Song for you ♬
[14:49] ---
Actually...
[14:52] ---
Will you be my manager?
[14:55] ---
Manager? Isn't this a bit...
[14:58] ---
I won't make you regret it.
[15:01] ---
I won't make you regret it, no matter what.
[15:04] ---
There could be a ton of challenges.
[15:06] ---
But someday you'll feel like saying,
"I'm glad I became a manager
[15:12] ---
and said yes that time," I promise!
[15:15] ---
Even if it costs me my life.
[15:17] ---
When she makes that face,
she carries out her words no matter what.
[15:23] ---
Even if it costs her life, huh?
[15:27] ---
She didn't need to go that far.
[15:34] ---
Hey! Makino!
[15:36] ---
You can't sneak out in the middle!
[15:38] ---
It's an important performance.
[15:41] ---
Give me a break at least at the end.
[15:45] ---
It's time, right?
[15:50] ---
I'm surprised you knew I was here.
[15:53] ---
It's the second time.
[15:54] ---
Still, you can be pretty dull, Makino.
[15:57] ---
I'm... aware of that.
[16:01] ---
You don't change at all, Makino.
[16:04] ---
You, too.
[16:09] ---
So you don't regret accepting
my invitation that time, right?
[16:14] ---
That's right.
[16:17] ---
But I really wanted to be a top idol.
[16:20] ---
Then, I would've been able
to fulfill my real dream.
[16:24] ---
Your real dream?
[16:26] ---
Yup.
[16:28] ---
I wanted to make you the manager
of a top idol, Makino.
[16:34] ---
That's... your... real dream?
[16:40] ---
That's right.
[16:41] ---
And my only regret is how I
never got to tell you in person.
[16:50] ---
No way...
[16:51] ---
But I'm fine now!
[16:54] ---
There are others who'll
fulfill this dream for me.
[16:58] ---
Right, Makino?
[17:01] ---
Why...
[17:04] ---
Why did you choose me?
[17:06] ---
Why...?
[17:08] ---
Let's see...
[17:10] ---
Well, you're pure, hard-working, serious...
[17:14] ---
I mean, there were lots of things
that bothered me, too.
[17:19] ---
But I'm glad...
[17:22] ---
...that I fell in love with you, Makino.
[17:27] ---
I'm... the manager...
[17:31] ---
That's why...
[17:33] ---
That's why... I always...
[17:39] ---
If only I could kiss you.
[17:42] ---
♬ Song for you ♬
[17:44] ---

[17:46] ---

[19:11] ---
There's still a long road ahead.
[19:17] ---
Yup.
[19:30] ---
Everyone, this is the last song.
[19:33] ---
It feels a bit sad.
[19:35] ---
I want to keep singing.
[19:37] ---
It feels like I'm dreaming.
[19:39] ---
Me too. It all seems so surreal.
[19:43] ---
This isn't a dream, it's reality.
[19:45] ---
The only thing left to do
[19:47] ---
is to deliver the best performance we can.
[19:51] ---
Hey, hey. Do you think we can
reach the top as idols?
[19:55] ---
We will!
[19:56] ---
My heart's beating fast and telling me we will!
[20:00] ---
This is the starting line of our next goal.
[20:16] ---
♬ Hey! What makes it a coincidence? ♬
[20:19] ---
♬ What makes it meant to be? ♬

♬ We drew each other in without
a second thought ♬

[20:48] ---
♬ In the center of our miraculous meeting ♬
[20:54] ---
♬ It's okay for me to cry a little, right? ♬
[20:59] ---
♬ The story that begins with goodbye ♬
[21:04] ---
♬ The heartrending feeling stabbed ♬
[21:08] ---
♬ Deep into my heart is painful ♬
[21:12] ---
♬ But when I start to run ♬
[21:13] ---
♬ I create the starting line there ♬
