[00:01] ---
"Moon Tempest"
[00:04] ---
Thank you very much!
[00:17] ---
"Amagami Rhythm" "Sunny Peace"
[00:26] ---
Let's go, everyone!
[00:29] ---
Together with the sunshine!
[00:31] ---
Sunny Peace!
[02:07] ---
Has the word arrived yet?
[02:10] ---
That was your fifth time asking that.
[02:13] ---
You're very calm, Rei.
[02:16] ---
I'm actually nervous, too.
[02:19] ---
I've got it this time.
[02:20] ---
This time, I'm part of a group,
[02:21] ---
and I have improved skill-wise, too.
[02:25] ---
It's been three months since the Next Venus
Grand Prix preliminaries started, huh?
[02:29] ---
That went by fast, don't you think?
[02:31] ---
We've accumulated lots of points...
[02:34] ---
I'm pretty sure.
[02:35] ---
How many groups get to be in the finals again?
[02:38] ---
Sixteen groups.
[02:39] ---
I wonder if all of us will make it...
[02:42] ---
Until the results are announced,
[02:45] ---
we won't know.
[02:48] ---
We've received word from management.
[02:50] ---
--What are the results?!
--Did we make it to the finals?!
[02:52] ---
--Which group?
--Both groups?!
[02:54] ---
Calm down! Get back, get back.
[03:02] ---
Sunny Peace, Moon Tempest...
[03:06] ---
Both groups will be moving on to the finals!
[03:09] ---
Heck yeah!
[03:11] ---
What?!
[03:12] ---
"President's Office"
[03:16] ---
"15 Moon Tempest"
"16 Sunny Peace"
[03:19] ---
They barely made it.
[03:23] ---
"16 Finalists Selected"
[03:32] ---
The finals three years ago...
[03:34] ---
Time stopped for us right before it happened.
[03:38] ---
We've been waiting for this Grand Prix.
[03:40] ---
We'll be the ones who'll rise to the top.
[03:44] ---
Thank you very much.
[03:46] ---
TRINITYAiLE, we would like
to hear your thoughts, too.
[03:50] ---
Yes.
[03:51] ---
We came in second,
behind our seniors in the preliminaries.
[03:56] ---
But we'll be the ones who'll win.
[03:59] ---
Are you declaring your victory over us?
[04:02] ---
I wouldn't mind if you took it that way.
[04:05] ---
Let's both do our best!
[04:06] ---
We're your dear juniors,
so please don't be too hard on us.
[04:11] ---
We'll know the results when we get on stage.
[04:14] ---
I'm looking forward to it.
[04:21] ---
Mr. Makino.
[04:23] ---
I have a favor to ask you.
[04:26] ---
Will you please come with me
to my next regular check-up?
[04:30] ---
Regular check-up?
[04:31] ---
Yes.
[04:32] ---
Since there were continuous concert
battles in the preliminaries,
[04:35] ---
before the finals start,
my doctor wants to confirm with you
[04:38] ---
how much exercise I've been getting.
[04:41] ---
I see.
[04:43] ---
Sure thing.
[04:44] ---
It's better to be on top
of these things. When is it?
[04:47] ---
Makino, Makino!
[04:50] ---
LizNoir...
[04:51] ---
Miss Kanzaki is here.
[04:53] ---
A lot of idols train at this studio, so it
wouldn't be a surprise to see them here.
[04:58] ---
It's not like that...
[05:01] ---
Congratulations on making it to the finals.
[05:03] ---
You were practically novices just
the other day, so you should be proud.
[05:07] ---
How great, right Suzu-nyan?
We got complimented!
[05:10] ---
Well, of course we did!
[05:13] ---
Your coaching us that time got us here.
[05:16] ---
Thank you very much for that.
[05:18] ---
Moon Tempest.
[05:20] ---
It's a good group.
[05:22] ---
Very well-balanced.
[05:24] ---
You definitely have the potential
Mr. Saegusa recognized in you.
[05:27] ---
But...
[05:28] ---
Kotono Nagase.
[05:31] ---
You just look like Mana Nagase.
[05:37] ---
I watched her ever since
she made her debut.
[05:41] ---
More than anyone else.
[05:42] ---
So I can tell you this bluntly...
[05:44] ---
Right now, you're merely an inferior copy.
[05:51] ---
What do you know about Kotono?
[05:54] ---
Nagisa?
[05:55] ---
Do you even know what it's like
for her being an idol?
[06:00] ---
Thanks, Nagisa.
[06:02] ---
But I'm okay.
[06:04] ---
Kotono...
[06:05] ---
I'm pretty sure that Miss Kanzaki
and I are the same.
[06:11] ---
You watched only my sister for a long time...
[06:13] ---
Isn't that right?
[06:15] ---
Don't put words in my mouth.
[06:19] ---
Everyone!
[06:21] ---
Hurry up and get to the studio.
[06:23] ---
Mr. Makino.
[06:25] ---
Rio, what are you doing?
[06:27] ---
We're done talking now.
[06:29] ---
Let's get practicing already.
[06:31] ---
Hello.
[06:32] ---
I heard that you took care
of our girls that one time.
[06:35] ---
Oh, no. It was my pleasure.
[06:38] ---
I'd like to thank you, too, for the lesson.
[06:41] ---
That's why we're here now.
[06:43] ---
Makino, who is this person?
[06:45] ---
Dummy! She's LizNoir's producer.
[06:48] ---
What?!
[06:49] ---
As we both advance,
we'll eventually face each other.
[06:52] ---
I'm looking forward
to when that time comes.
[06:55] ---
Yes!
[06:57] ---
As long as you're Mana Nagase's sister,
[06:59] ---
you won't be able to move up any further.
[07:03] ---
Are you okay?
[07:04] ---
Yes.
[07:05] ---
Thank you very much.
[07:22] ---
Miss Kawasaki.
[07:24] ---
Miss Sakura Kawasaki.
[07:25] ---
Yes!
[07:28] ---
You'll probably be called in by
the doctor after the tests are done.
[07:32] ---
Got it.
[07:33] ---
Thank you, I'll see you later!
[07:39] ---
These check-ups take a long time, huh?
[07:42] ---
I really feel for Sakura.
[07:44] ---
You show concern for Sakura,
[07:46] ---
but you're cold when it comes to Kotono.
[07:49] ---
You think so?
[07:50] ---
You haven't mentioned anything about the
interaction between Kotono and Miss Kanzaki.
[07:54] ---
Are you not concerned for your sister?
[07:57] ---
There's no point in being concerned.
[07:59] ---
There's nothing I can do anyway.
[08:05] ---
Are you Miss Sakura Kawasaki's guardian?
[08:07] ---
Yes.
[08:09] ---
Please go to examining room three.
[08:14] ---
Mana, will you stay outside?
[08:18] ---
Why?
[08:19] ---
This is Sakura's private matter.
[08:22] ---
Really?
[08:23] ---
Well, that's fine by me.
[08:26] ---
Thanks.
[08:30] ---
Well, it'd be a lie if I said
there's nothing to worry about.
[08:34] ---
But there's no problem for the time being.
[08:37] ---
Really?
[08:38] ---
Quite some time has passed
since the transplant.
[08:41] ---
And it seems that she's gradually
worked up to her current level of exercise.
[08:45] ---
That's a relief.
[08:46] ---
I was surprised when I heard
she was going to become an idol.
[08:51] ---
Um...
[08:52] ---
Regarding Sakura's heart...
[08:55] ---
Yes?
[08:56] ---
What kind of person was the donor?
[08:59] ---
As a matter of principle, information
regarding the donor is confidential.
[09:04] ---
I see.
[09:06] ---
There was something I was curious about.
[09:10] ---
What is it?
[09:11] ---
Our agency is called Hoshimi Productions.
[09:15] ---
And we lost an idol
to an accident three years ago.
[09:19] ---
Her name was Mana Nagase.
[09:22] ---
Sakura's voice sounds exactly like hers.
[09:25] ---
I had a hunch there could be a connection.
[09:29] ---
What a strange coincidence.
[09:32] ---
Yes.
[09:33] ---
When I met Sakura,
it felt like Mana guided her to us.
[09:39] ---
That's all.
[09:41] ---
I see.
[09:49] ---
Mr. Makino, is the meeting over?
[09:52] ---
He says there are no concerns worth noting.
[09:54] ---
That's great. What a relief.
[09:56] ---
Now Sakura can focus all her energy
on the Grand Prix.
[10:02] ---
What is it?
[10:03] ---
Huh?
[10:05] ---
Mr. Makino?
[10:07] ---
Oh, sorry.
[10:10] ---
It's nothing.
[10:13] ---
Idoly Pride.
[10:16] ---
Celebrating Moonest and Sunny P
making it to the finals!
[10:20] ---
Cheers!
[10:21] ---
Cheers!
[10:23] ---
--Nom, nom, nom!
--This is delicious.
[10:25] ---
Really? Give me a bite!
[10:26] ---
--Make sure you eat a well-balanced meal.
--Okay!
[10:28] ---
Miss Haruko, are you drinking wine?
[10:31] ---
That's right.
[10:32] ---
You gotta have a drink to celebrate...
[10:36] ---
Miss Haruko, we still have practice
tomorrow, so please take it easy--
[10:39] ---
I said, call me Haruko! Gosh...
[10:44] ---
Suzu, you're not eating?
[10:45] ---
O-Oh...
[10:47] ---
No, um...
[10:48] ---
We usually... split the cost, don't we?
[10:52] ---
The thing is... I... Well...
[10:54] ---
You used up your salary again?
[10:57] ---
I can't help it!
[10:58] ---
Mother canceled the credit card because
I became an idol without her consent!
[11:03] ---
Suzu, you need to learn how
to manage your money.
[11:09] ---
But there's no need to worry today!
[11:12] ---
This is all Mr. Makino's treat!
[11:14] ---
Really?!
[11:15] ---
It's a reward for making it to the finals.
[11:18] ---
I'll treat you to yakiniku
for the next victory.
[11:19] ---
All right! Generous manager!
[11:23] ---
Mr... Makino!
[11:26] ---
Mr. Makino?
[11:27] ---
Oh my goodness.
I would die for yakiniku!
[11:30] ---
I wonder what we'll get if we win?
[11:38] ---
Miss Haruko, you'll catch a cold.
[11:40] ---
It's Haruko!
[11:43] ---
Let's wait for now and wake her up later.
[11:47] ---
I wonder why she didn't get popular.
[11:50] ---
When she's this cute...
[11:55] ---
Shizuku, what are you looking at?
[11:58] ---
Egosurfing...
[11:59] ---
So? How is my reputation?
[12:02] ---
For Suzu...
[12:04] ---
...nothing comes up.
[12:05] ---
What? That is impossible!
[12:08] ---
Someone wrote about Kotono!
[12:10] ---
"As expected of Mana Nagase's sister,
[12:13] ---
she's a great singer.
[12:15] ---
Her presence reminds me of Mana, too..."!
[12:19] ---
Good for you, Kotono!
[12:21] ---
Yeah.
[12:22] ---
If you do a better job searching,
there has to be something about me...
[12:25] ---
"Slow Joy@joyslow
But Mana is hands-down more talented."
[12:32] ---
Kotono, don't let this get to you.
[12:35] ---
Th-That's right!
[12:36] ---
Deplorables who say
such things are everywhere.
[12:40] ---
Anything else?
[12:41] ---
Oh. Um...
[12:44] ---
This one's about Sakura.
[12:46] ---
What?
[12:48] ---
"Peace Mana@manana
Don't you think Sakura Kawasaki of Sunny P
resembles Mana more than Kotono Nagase?"
[12:49] ---
"S_T_O_R_A@Support idols...
Her aura and how she sings
are exactly like her."
[12:52] ---
"Kumakuma@Celebrating NVGP Revival
It made me think of Mana's performance.
She's a good singer, so I can root for her."
[12:58] ---
I really don't understand it myself...
[13:02] ---
I'm only doing my best to sing...
[13:06] ---
"Chore Chart"
[13:16] ---
What's the matter?
[13:17] ---
Huh?
[13:18] ---
There's something on your mind, I can tell.
[13:22] ---
Yeah.
[13:23] ---
It's about Miss Mana...
[13:26] ---
You know, I'm not intentionally
trying to sound like Miss Mana.
[13:31] ---
I'm only singing naturally...
[13:34] ---
Well...
[13:35] ---
I was suddenly able to sing
like this after my surgery.
[13:40] ---
I'm not especially concerned.
[13:42] ---
Just sing with your voice as usual, Sakura.
[13:56] ---
"Hoshimi Productions"
[13:58] ---
I put together a schedule for here on out.
[14:02] ---
Start practice at the studio
in Tokyo at six in the morning.
[14:06] ---
Until 10 at night?!
[14:07] ---
Even the first train won't get us
there in time for the 6 AM start!
[14:12] ---
Suzu's the one who said we won't win
the finals if we don't step things up.
[14:16] ---
We need to tackle the finals
in an entirely different way!
[14:20] ---
This voice...
[14:23] ---
Sakura?
[14:26] ---
What did you think of that?
[14:29] ---
Yeah... That didn't sound
like Miss Mana just now.
[14:33] ---
Really?
[14:34] ---
But...
[14:35] ---
Sakura.
[14:36] ---
Kotono.
[14:38] ---
You weren't singing like
you normally would just now.
[14:43] ---
Sakura wanted to try out
a different way to sing.
[14:48] ---
But why?
[14:50] ---
Because...
[14:55] ---
Let's talk just the two of us for a second.
[15:00] ---
The thing is...
[15:01] ---
I researched about Miss Mana last night.
[15:05] ---
About my sister?
[15:07] ---
Yup.
[15:08] ---
Where she was born,
how she became an idol...
[15:12] ---
How popular she was...
[15:14] ---
You know, I was never too
knowledgeable about those things.
[15:18] ---
Okay.
[15:20] ---
I watched her footage...
[15:22] ---
She really was amazing.
[15:24] ---
I've seen them a few times before,
[15:27] ---
but I was amazed again re-watching them.
[15:30] ---
I feel bad that people say I remind them of her.
[15:35] ---
And now you're trying to change your singing?
[15:39] ---
When you've been advancing with that voice?
[15:41] ---
Is it going to work changing it so suddenly?
[15:45] ---
Tell me the truth.
[15:48] ---
Sakura.
[15:53] ---
"Sakura Kawasaki, Return of Mana Nagase?"
"Sakura Kawasaki, the leader of Sunny Peace from
Hoshimi Productions that made it as a finalist
in the current Next Venus Grand Prix..."
[15:57] ---
When I asked Shizuku...
[16:00] ---
She told me people would call me the successor
of Miss Mana if I kept singing the way I am now.
[16:06] ---
I questioned whether you would
be okay with that, Kotono.
[16:10] ---
I thought you wouldn't like that.
[16:14] ---
I don't mind.
[16:15] ---
Really?
[16:17] ---
Kotono, aren't you singing for Miss Mana?
[16:24] ---
Tell me the truth!
[16:29] ---
I don't have my sister's voice.
[16:32] ---
I'm not as talented a singer as her.
[16:35] ---
I can't move the audience as much as her.
[16:38] ---
That's not true!
[16:39] ---
It is so!
[16:43] ---
No matter how much I practice, I fail.
[16:46] ---
Even if I sing in place of my sister,
[16:48] ---
I won't be able to dispel her regret.
[16:52] ---
But you're different, Sakura!
[16:54] ---
You can make it happen.
[16:56] ---
Kotono...
[16:58] ---
Sakura...
[16:59] ---
You could sing the song my sister
was supposed to sing at the finals...
[17:02] ---
What?
[17:04] ---
I want you to sing it, Sakura.
[17:13] ---
"Rio Kanzaki of LizNoir...
I feel a great energy from her.
How can I describe it... Hunger?"
[17:16] ---
Yes.
[17:17] ---
Kotono, can we talk a bit?
[17:23] ---
Did something happen between you and Sakura?
[17:25] ---
Huh?
[17:26] ---
You both are so easy to read.
[17:29] ---
You both have avoided eye contact with
each other ever since practice ended.
[17:33] ---
I let Sakura know...
[17:35] ---
...that she shouldn't mind me
[17:37] ---
and keep singing the way she's been.
[17:40] ---
I see.
[17:42] ---
I've always felt that I needed to reach
the top as an idol in place of my sister.
[17:47] ---
But... I just can't sing like my sister.
[17:52] ---
That's when Sakura appeared, right?
[17:56] ---
Yup.
[17:57] ---
I believe Sakura will be able
to sing like my sister.
[18:01] ---
But if that's the case,
[18:04] ---
I don't know why I'm participating
in the Grand Prix.
[18:08] ---
I see.
[18:10] ---
I know I can't be like this.
[18:14] ---
Everyone's putting their all
into the Grand Prix.
[18:16] ---
It'd be disrespectful if I
didn't put in my all, too.
[18:20] ---
I think you should do
as you want to, Kotono.
[18:24] ---
As for me and everyone,
[18:26] ---
I think we all understand
how you feel, Kotono.
[18:30] ---
Really?
[18:31] ---
Yup.
[18:32] ---
We noticed something was wrong recently...
[18:36] ---
Maybe you were struggling with something...
[18:39] ---
Mei, Suzu, and Saki were worried, too!
[18:42] ---
W-Was I really acting that strange?
[18:45] ---
No, it's not like that.
[18:47] ---
Since we've been working together all this time,
[18:49] ---
we're able to sense even
the most subtle changes.
[18:52] ---
Everyone did...?
[18:56] ---
I'm sorry.
[18:57] ---
I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
[19:00] ---
Suzu-nyan made us do it!
[19:02] ---
Hold up, you're the one
who instigated this, Mei!
[19:06] ---
Anyway, we all care about you.
[19:09] ---
To be honest, I don't really know
anything about Miss Mana.
[19:14] ---
I just know I'd be happy leaving a good record
in the Grand Prix singing with you, Kotono.
[19:20] ---
Me, too!
[19:22] ---
Really?
[19:23] ---
Yup!
[19:24] ---
Everyone loves your singing, Kotono.
[19:28] ---
Regardless of Miss Mana, we all want
to sing together with you, Kotono!
[19:33] ---
But my singing is...
Compared to my sister's...
[19:38] ---
You cannot compare yourself
with Miss Mana!
[19:42] ---
I-It's just...
[19:44] ---
It's true that you have your
own good qualities, too!
[19:47] ---
Suzu.
[19:49] ---
If you're feeling lost without a goal,
[19:53] ---
just think that you're doing it for all of us.
[19:56] ---
For all of you?
[19:58] ---
We've worked so hard together.
[20:00] ---
It would not hurt to do that for us.
[20:05] ---
For everyone...
[20:06] ---
That's right, we, Moon Tempest,
will sing for all of us.
[20:11] ---
We'll aim for the top of
the Grand Prix for all of us.
[20:15] ---
That is usually the case, you know?
[20:17] ---
So if you can think that way, too, Kotono...
[20:21] ---
With all of us who think your voice...
who think your singing is the best!
[20:26] ---
Together!
[20:35] ---
Thanks.
[20:36] ---
I was fixated on my sister and had no clue...
[20:42] ---
I didn't know that's how
you all felt about me...
[20:46] ---
And the group...
[20:55] ---
It's a blessing from the moon.
[20:57] ---
Yup.
[20:59] ---
I'm going to aim to win...
[21:02] ---
...with Moon Tempest.
[21:04] ---
With everyone here!
[21:10] ---
We were shown the overwhelming strength
[21:12] ---
of the likely winner, LizNoir,
in the first battle of the first round!
[21:17] ---
The second battle is between
Moon Tempest and Krystal!
[21:21] ---
Now, which group will the
goddess of victory smile upon?
[21:25] ---
Let the performance begin!
[21:27] ---
"Moon Tempest" "Krystal"
