[00:05] Meg
    It's their first concert in so long,
    but they're as popular as ever.
[00:09] Meg
    That's our Meltic StAr.
[00:11] Yuz
    For sure.
[00:12] Yuz
    It's good to see PriChans
    getting so fired up.
[00:15] Meg
    We can't let it go to waste.
[00:17] Yuz
    Definitely not.
[00:20] Meg
    And that's why we've asked you all here.
[00:26] Meg
    What's wrong? Emo-chan, you look down.
[00:30] Rin
    Well, we were hoping for an explanation...
[00:33] Rin
    Why did you invite us here?
[00:36] Meg
    Yuzuru-kun!
[00:37] Yuz
    Yes, ma'am!
[00:39] Meg
    Take a look at this.
[00:42] Mir
    A special Prism Stone Channel show?
SIGN    -Presents- A special show proposal
SIGN    The secrets of their popularity!
[00:46] Meg
    That's right.
[00:47] Meg
    Our hot, rising PriChan idols will
    interview the newly revived Meltic StAr,
[00:51] Meg
    who will reveal the secrets
     of their popularity!
[00:54] Mir
    Anna-chan and Sara-chan's secrets?
[00:57] Mir
    I'd love to see that!
[00:58] Meg
    Then it's settled!
[01:00] Rin
    Will the "rising PriChan idols" doing
     the interview be Miracle Kiratts, then?
[01:06] Sara
    Hello there.
[01:08] Anna
    Honestly, being subjected
    to an interview by such plebeians...
[01:12] Anna
    Fame truly is a curse!
[01:13] Mir
    Anna-chan! Sara-chan!
[01:15] Meg
    You know them the best, so we had to ask you.
[01:19] Mir
    Are you really sure you want us to do it?
[01:23] Meg
    I asked for you personally,
    as the manager of this Prism Stone store.
[01:26] Meg
    It'll be fine.
[01:28] Meg
    Right?
[01:29] Yuz
    That's right, Manager!
[01:30] Sara
    We're happy to be interviewed
    by Miracle Kiratts as well.
[01:35] Ann
    We'll be happy to show you what
    it really means to be a PriChan idol!
[01:40] Mir
    Let's make an amazing show together!
[01:45] Mir
    PriChan is a dream network where you can
    make and stream your very own content!
[01:51] Mir
    Let's create splendidly sparkling
    shows with all our friends!
SIGN    A Date With a Rival? I Tried It!
SIGN    "A Date With a Rival? I Tried It!"
SIGN    Always searching for sparkling greatness,
SIGN    I'm Momoyama Mirai of Miracle Kiratts!
SIGN    Yeah, and I'm Moegi.
[03:38] Mir
    We're here to interview Meltic StAr,
     who've just resumed concerts!
[03:46] Vo
    Like! Like! Like!
[03:48] Rin
    So many likes already!
[03:50] Sara
    Thanks for having us, you two.
[03:52] Anna
    What an honor it must be
     to collaborate with us.
[03:57] Mira
    Yes, thank you very much for coming!
[04:01] Mira
    Um, we saw your most recent concert.
[04:04] Mira
    It was absolutely wonderful!
[04:06] Sara
    You don't need to be so polite.
[04:08] Sara
    Just be yourself, Mirai-kun.
[04:10] Mir
    I-In that case...
[04:12] Mir
    Your concert was just sparkling!
    It was great! The best!
[04:16] Anna
    Who would expect anything less?
[04:18] Sara
    Except Anna kept refusing to do it.
[04:21] Anna
    I couldn't deign to insult my fans
    with an underdeveloped performance.
[04:24] Mir
    How did it feel to do
     a concert after so long?
[04:27] Anna
    Naturally, it was supremely fun!
[04:29] Sara
    Though we're still a little rusty
     after so long away.
[04:31] Anna
    Indeed. We must strive
     for even greater perfection.
[04:34] Mira
    What? Even better?
[04:36] Emo
    You're gonna get even better?
[04:40] Anna
    What has her so out of sorts today?
[04:44] Mira
    How do you manage to sparkle so brightly?
[04:47] Sara
    We don't do anything special.
[04:49] Mira
    But you were so incredible...
[04:51] Anna
    If you seek a glimpse of our
    celebrity lifestyle, we'll happily oblige!
[04:57] Mira
    What, really?!
[04:58] Mira
    Glance...
[05:01] Rin
    Are you sure?
[05:02] Meg
    Of course! This is part of having a PriChan.
[05:04] Mira
    Yay!
[05:07] Sara
    I'd like to be your personal escort.
[05:10] Sara
    May I have the pleasure, Mirai-kun?
[05:12] Mira
    O-Of course!
[05:14] Mira
    Th-Thank you so much.
[05:17] Anna
    Then it appears you're with me!
[05:22] Anna
    Let us begin!
[05:25] Mira
    Will Emo-chan be okay?
[05:28] Sara
    She'll be just fine.
[05:29] Sara
    Now, let's go.
[05:33] Rin
    I'll film Mirai-chan's group!
[05:41] Sara
    I personally come here quite often.
[05:45] Sara
    I certainly hope you like it.
[05:51] Mira
    So cool! Just amazing!
[05:53] Sara
    I'd like to apologize for crashing
    your show last time.
[05:58] Mira
    Don't sweat it! It was fun.
[06:00] Sara
    I'm glad to hear you say that.
[06:02] Mira
    Next, I wanna take you somewhere!
[06:05] Sara
    Oh?
[06:14] Mira
    I've been wanting to visit this
    rabbit cafe ever since it opened.
[06:18] Mira
    Huh?
[06:20] Mira
    Sara-chan?
[06:22] Mira
    Sara-chan, do you not like rabbits?
[06:26] Sara
    Worry not. I'm quite fond of them.
[06:29] Sara
    Rabbits are truly charming animals.
[06:31] Mira
    Oh, I'm glad. Sara-chan, do you not
     normally come to places like this?
[06:35] Sara
    I typically leave the cute things to Anna.
[06:38] Sara
    They're rather incompatible with my image.
[06:40] Mira
    Really?
[06:41] Mira
    I think you're pretty cute too, Sara-chan!
[06:43] Sara
    Hardly. I pale before Anna's glory.
[06:48] Mira
    Speaking of Anna-chan, have you two
     known each other a long time?
[06:53] Sara
    Yes, ever since we were little.
[06:56] Sara
    When I was young, my primary preoccupation
    was how best to show off Anna to the world.
[07:01] Mira
    Is that why you became PriChan idols?
[07:03] Sara
    Yes. And just as I expected,
    Anna's cuteness quickly caught on.
[07:07] Anna
    I'm Akagi Anna!
[07:13] Mira
    Time's up already? We'd better move on.
[07:16] Rin
    Let's go, Sara-chan.
[07:18] Sara
    Just a little...
[07:20] Sara
    Could we please stay just a little longer?
[07:24] Rin
    If you'd like...
[07:33] Anna
    Thus the world, unable to get
    enough of my incredible cuteness—
[07:38] Anna
    Excuse me! Are you listening?
[07:40] Emo
    Listening.
[07:42] Anna
    Are you really, truly listening?
[07:45] Anna
    You've barely said a single thing!
[07:47] Emo
    A single thing.
[07:49] Anna
    You're acting most strange.
[07:52] Emo
    I-I am not.
[07:54] Emo
    Look, see? Now, c'mon, let's go.
[07:56] Anna
    What on earth is wrong with you?
[07:58] Anna
    As a PriChan idol, you should really—
[08:00] Emo
    The only thing viewers care
    about is the big star Akagi Anna.
[08:07] Emo
    No one cares about a low-level idol like me.
[08:14] Anna
    Ah, darn it! What's become of
    all your infamous nerve?!
[08:22] Anna
    As a veteran PriChan idol, I shall regale you
    with my own brand of special treatment!
[08:28] Anna
    Let's get started!
[08:38] Anna
    This is my PriChan idol training gym.
[08:42] Emo
    What are we supposed to do here?
[08:44] Anna
    I'm going to reveal a small fragment
     of my celebrity training routine!
[08:50] Emo
    I'd rather not—
[08:54] Emo
    Hey! What's this stuff?!
[08:57] Anna
    It's a celebrity supporter, made to instill
    discipline and decorum in celebrity children.
[09:10] Emo
    It's really hard to move in...
[09:13] Anna
    It's not easy to acquire celebrity like mine.
[09:28] Emo
    That's hot!
[09:30] Anna
    You appear rather lacking in elegance.
[09:36] Emo
    Why are you doing this to me?
[09:39] Anna
    Aren't you going to become a top PriChan
    idol and yank on my curlicue pigtails?
[09:46] Emo
    It's not happening.
[09:48] Emo
    After seeing how amazing your concert was,
     I know I can't beat you.
[09:52] Emo
    I can't mouth off like that anymore...
[09:54] Anna
    And you truly intend to accept that?
[09:56] Anna
    You have your own fans
    rooting for you, you know!
[10:01] Emo
    Rooting... for me?
[10:03] Anna
    And it's not just your fans.
[10:07] Anna
    Other PriChan idols who see you as a rival...
[10:11] Anna
    Do you think they want to see you this way?!
[10:16] Anna
    Assuming you have such rivals, of course...
[10:22] Emo
    Fine, I get it!
[10:23] Emo
    Throw whatever PriChan idol
    training you want to at me!
[10:28] Anna
    But can you keep up with me...
[10:31] Anna
    and my celebrity training?!
[10:33] Anna
    Through heaven or hell...
    I'll follow you wherever you go!
SIGN    Stay tuned!
SIGN    What will her celebrity training be?!
[10:58] Mira
    I almost feel bad having so much fun!
[11:01] Sara
    I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
[11:03] Mira
    Getting to do a show with you
    like this feels like a dream.
[11:07] Sara
    I'm flattered.
[11:10] Sara
    I'm glad we had the chance to bond like this.
[11:14] Sara
    I believe Anna likes you two a great deal.
[11:18] Mira
    Really? That makes me happy.
[11:22] Sara
    Anna's been rather depressed for some time.
[11:26] Sara
    But she's perked up a lot since
    you Kiratts started your PriChan.
[11:30] Sara
    You just might have something special.
[11:34] Mira
    R-Really?!
[11:36] Sara
    Yeah. I'd say Anna and I
    are real fans of yours.
[11:42] Mira
    Hearing you say that...
    This is a dream come true.
[11:46] Sara
    This is no dream.
[12:00] Mira
    I wonder what Emo-chan is up to...
[12:03] Mira
    If she's with Anna-chan, I'm sure she's
    having a fabulous celebrity time!
[12:21] Emo
    Ow, ow, ow...
[12:23] Anna
    Passable for a first attempt.
[12:26] Anna
    But it's only natural that you'd
    improve under my tutelage.
[12:29] Emo
    Where exactly is the
     "celebrity" in all this?!
[12:33] Anna
    Let the training continue!
[12:40] Emo
    That hurts!
[12:41] Anna
    This is a high society dance machine,
    perfect for instilling celebrity charm!
[12:44] Emo
    How exactly is this high society—
[12:51] Anna
    Okay, faster!
[13:00] Emo
    Rolly, rolly, rolly...
[13:04] Anna
    You're much too sloppy.
[13:07] Anna
    You really must put more care into every
    movement of your fingers, toes, and face—
[13:11] Emo
    I can't do that in this thing!
[13:14] Anna
    That is the whole point of this training.
[13:17] Emo
    Unlike you, I'm not perfect!
[13:21] Emo
    I don't have any natural talent.
[13:50] Anna
    How long do you think it
    took me to learn this?
[13:54] Emo
    "I learned it in a day," right?
[13:57] Emo
    Is that the brag?
[13:58] Anna
    I don't like to admit it, but when I started,
    I hardly deserved an audience.
[14:03] Anna
    Nobody's good at things at first.
[14:06] Anna
    It took long hours of training and practice
    for me to hone this skill.
[14:12] Anna
    Perhaps you're still
    too green to understand...
[14:17] Anna
    "Talent" is something you acquire over time!
[14:21] Emo
    But all that practice is hard, right?
[14:25] Anna
    It is indeed!
[14:26] Anna
    But are you going to give up
     just because it's hard?
[14:34] Emo
    I...
[14:36] Emo
    I can do it if I try, too! I'll prove it!
[14:39] Anna
    Stop!
[14:43] Anna
    I have a training system in place.
[14:45] Anna
    It puts out an electric shock
    if you hit a wrong note.
[14:48] Emo
    You shoulda said so sooner...
[14:53] Mira
    Sara-chan, where are we going next?
[14:56] Sara
    A musical store just down the road.
[14:58] Mira
    A music store?
[14:58] Sara
    Anna's been playing classical
    piano since she was little.
[15:02] Sara
    It's also the store where
    I bought this guitar...
[15:06] Sara
    And where we decided to form Meltic StAr.
[15:10] Mira
    Meltic StAr?
[15:12] Sara
    Yes.
[15:13] Sara
    Yes, PriChan is most fun when you're
    doing what you love with your friends.
[15:20] Sara
    I want to further refine my performances
    with my ultimate partner, Anna.
[15:26] Sara
    What about you, Mirai-kun?
[15:29] Mira
    I started my PriChan with Emo-chan.
[15:33] Mira
    Then Rinka-chan helped out...
[15:36] Mira
    And I'm having a ton of fun right now!
[15:39] Sara
    I thought so.
[15:41] Sara
    It was the same way for us.
[15:42] ---
    We walked the same path you're following now.
[15:45] Mira
    The same path?
[15:46] Mira
    I see. Then I'd better work even harder!
[15:50] Sara
    And where will all that hard work take you?
[15:53] Mira
    Where will it take me?
[15:55] Mira
    I guess I'll bring even more
     sparkle to our viewers.
[15:58] Sara
    You don't want to go beyond that?
[16:01] Mira
    Huh? What do you mean?
[16:04] Sara
    Reach where Anna and I stand.
[16:07] Sara
    I think you can make it up here.
[16:10] Mira
    We can? But...
[16:12] Sara
    We'll be waiting for you.
[16:24] Anna
    I'm impressed that you
    kept up with my training.
[16:28] Anna
    You might possess a mere shred of potential.
[16:31] Emo
    I'm gonna make you eat those words someday!
[16:35] Emo
    In followers, in popularity,
    in everything else...
[16:38] Emo
    I'm gonna surpass Meltic StAr
    before you know it!
[16:41] Emo
    So don't you go underestimating the
    emoliciousness of Miracle Kiratts!
[16:47] Anna
    My, my. Just listen to you.
[16:49] Anna
    I certainly hope you're not
    underestimating Meltic StAr!
[16:55] Sara
    Today was such a great chance to talk.
[16:59] Anna
    As I am constantly telling you,
[17:01] Anna
    it takes a lot of nerve to try outpace me!
[17:05] Emo
    You just walk way too slow.
[17:07] Anna
    High society has no reason
    to rush like peasantry!
[17:10] Mira
    They're fighting again...
[17:12] Sara
    Emo-kun appears a bit more lively.
[17:16] Sara
    It seems you two have gotten closer.
[17:19] Anna
    You must be joking!
[17:21] Emo
    I hate her! She's so unemolicious!
[17:24] Mira
    Thanks for everything!
[17:25] Sara
    I found it a valuable experience myself.
[17:30] Vo
    Like! Like! Like!
[17:35] Anna
    Our like gauge is full.
[17:36] Sara
    It's time for a concert.
[17:38] Anna
    I'd advise you to pay close attention.
[17:41] Sara
    You Miracle Kiratts have given
    Meltic StAr a real shot in the arm.
[17:48] Anna
    Now, everyone, it's the moment
    you've all been waiting for!
SIGN    The concert begins!
[18:00] Sign
    "Piano? I Tried It!" App set!
