**[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] ---**
♬ There's no time to waver ♬

♬ The reason for my unwavering singing ♬
**[20:09] ---**
♬ The light of the moon ♬
**[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!
