**[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] ---**
