[00:08] ---
    "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] ---

    Hello, everyone!
[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!"
    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!
[21:38] ---
    --Thank you very much!
    --Thank you!
[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!
