"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] ---**

**[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?

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] ---**
Sunny Peace!

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] ---**

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!
**[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!
