[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?
[23:37] ---
