Mel-Mel is rejuvenated!
**[02:37] Mira**
Mel?
**[02:38] Hika**
Mel-Mel?
**[02:39] Mel**
Yes!
**[02:41] Mel**
Mel-Mel's name is Shido Mel!
**[02:43] Mel**
Please call me Mel-Mel!
**[02:47] Mira**
I'm Momoyama Mirai.

**[02:49] Mira**
Call me Mirai!
**[02:51] Mira**
This is my mom.
And this is my little sister, Hikari!
**[02:55] Mel**
Hello-hello, everyone!
**[02:57] Mel**
It's a pleasure!
**[02:58] Mel**
To meet!
**[02:59] Mel**
You all!
**[03:01] Mel**
Mel-Mel is so happy to be here!
**[03:04] Hika**
She k-k-k-k-kissed me!
**[03:08] Mom**
What a passionate greeting!
**[03:11] Mom**
But, Mel-Mel-chan, why were you so
Mel-Mel collapsed out front?
**[03:11] Sign**
Mel Mel Mel Mel
**[03:15] Mira**
Yeah, that's right.
**[03:16] Mira**
Mel-Mel-chan sort of Mel-Melted outside,
so I Mel-Mel moved her into the store...
**[03:23] Hika**
Can't you just call her "Mel-chan"?
**[03:27] Mel**
Mel-Mel has returned to keep
a very important promise!
**[03:33] Mel**
I arrived by plane at midnight,
**[03:36] Mel**
but I haven't been in Kirarigaoka in so long.
**[03:39] Mel**
I was going one way and coming the other,
**[03:41] Mel**
and in the end, I collapsed on the sidewalk!
**[03:45] Mel**
The map I brought wasn't even any help at all!
**[03:49] Mira**
Isn't that a world map?
**[03:53] Mel**
But it's still a map, right?
**[03:56] Hika**
Mel-chan, you took a plane here?
**[03:58] Mel**
Yes!
**[04:00] Mel**
Mel-Mel is a returnee from the USA!
**[04:04] Hika**
U-S-A?
**[04:05] Mira**
You mean from America? That's so cool!
**[04:09] Mira**
B-But you're all by yourself?
**[04:11] Mira**
Where's your family?
**[04:13] Mel**
My parents are also in the USA!
**[04:15] Mel**
Mel-Mel is used to traveling
the world alone, so she's just fine.
**[04:20] Hika**
Wow...
**[04:21] Mira**
You're amazing, Mel-chan.
**[04:23] Mom**
Well, you can stay here awhile.
**[04:26] Mom**
But once you're all settled in,
be sure to let us know.
**[04:29] Mel**
Mel?
**[04:30] Mel**
What a nice smell!
**[04:32] Mel**
Mama, what's this?
**[04:34] Mel**
More food for Mel-Mel?
**[04:36] Mom**
Well... these are for us to sell, actually...
**[04:44] Mom**
W-Would you like to test them?
**[04:46] Mel**
Can I? Mama is a very, very nice lady!
**[04:52] Hika**
She ate that much and she
still has room for more?
**[04:55] Mira**
I guess she was just that hungry.
**[05:01] Mira**
It's Emo-chan!
**[05:03] Emo**
*Morning, Mirai!*
**[05:06] Mira**
*Emo-chan, are you done with practice?*
**[05:09] Emo**
The sports festival is tomorrow, you know?
**[05:11] Emo**
We were putting the final touches
on the cheerleaders' dance.
**[05:14] Emo**
And Rinka's on the executive committee...
**[05:18] Emo**
How's it going for you, Mirai?
**[05:20] Emo**
Did you finish designing the
cheer competition flags?
**[05:23] Mira**
Yeah, just about!
**[05:25] Emo**
* Then let's meet up at*
* Prism Stone this afternoon.*
**[05:28] Emo**
*We'll put on the finishing touches there too!*
**[05:31] Mira**
Got it! See you later, then!
**[05:34] Mira**
Whoa, Mel-chan!
**[05:37] Mel**
Mama's sweets are so yum-yum-yummy!
**[05:40] Mel**
As delicious as can be!
**[05:42] Mel**
Wow, it's dazzling! A sparkling star!
**[05:47] Mira**
Yeah! That's Kirachu.
**[05:49] Mel**
Kirachu? It's so funny, Mira-Mira!
**[05:53] Mira**
Funny?
**[05:55] Hika**
It means "strange" or "bizarre"...
**[05:57] Hika**
But it can also mean "charming!"
**[06:01] Mira**
Thanks, Mel-chan!
**[06:02] Hika**
Thank you very much!
**[06:04] Mel**
Oh yeah!
**[06:08] Mira**
What happened, Mom?
**[06:12] Mom**
The oven finally broke down.
**[06:15] Mom**
It's been acting up for a while, though...
**[06:18] Mom**
It's a long holiday... I don't know
if they'll send someone to fix it.
**[06:22] Mel**
Mel?
**[06:24] Mel**
Just leave it to Mel-Mel!
**[06:26] Mel**
I'll fix this up, no problem!
**[06:30] Mira**
You can fix it, Mel-chan?
**[06:32] Hika**
No way!
**[06:41] Mel**
There! And there!
**[06:43] Mel**
Go!
**[06:44] Mel**
Ta-dah!
**[06:45] Mel**
All done!
**[06:48] Mel**
Tap!
**[06:53] Mom**
You fixed it so quickly!
**[06:56] Mom**
You're amazing, Mel-chan!
**[06:57] Mom**
Thank you!
**[06:58] Hika**
Thank you very much!
**[07:00] Mel**
Oh yeah!
**[07:01] Mira**
Just who are you, Mel-chan?
How is it you can do so many things?
**[07:06] Mel**
You can do it!
**[07:07] Mel**
There's nothing that can't be done!
**[07:09] Mel**
They call me Mel,
the master of all trades girl!
**[07:15] Hika**
Then, hey... can you fix
the AC in our room too?
**[07:20] Hika**
It's been acting up all summer.
**[07:22] Mel**
No problem!
**[07:28] Mira**
Mel-chan, you did all this?
**[07:33] Robo**
*Master, which room shall I clean next?*
**[07:37] Hika**
It talked!
**[07:38] Mira**
Wow!
**[07:40] Mel**
While I was here, I made a few upgrades too.
**[07:44] Mel**
I learned all this in college!
**[07:46] Mira**
College? How old are you, Mel-chan?
**[07:49] Mel**
I am thirteen!
**[07:51] Hika**
Thirteen... like ten-and-three?
**[07:55] Hika**
She's the same age as you!
**[07:57] Mira**
But you've been to college?
**[07:59] Mel**
Yes!
**[08:01] Mel**
In the USA, you can jump through the grades!
**[08:04] Mel**
Studying was so much fun!
**[08:08] Mom**
Mirai! Shouldn't you get going?
**[08:11] Mom**
You have a sports festival meet-up
with Emo-chan, right?
**[08:15] Mira**
What? Is it that time already?
**[08:17] Mom**
Here! Your lunch for today.
**[08:19] Mom**
Make sure you girls eat it all.
**[08:22] Mira**
Thank you, Mom!
**[08:23] Mira**
Okay, I'm off!
**[08:25] Mel**
Lunch? More of Mama's food!
**[08:27] Mel**
Mel-Mel's ready to go!
**[08:29] ---**
What?
**[08:30] Mira**
You're coming with?
**[08:37] Mel**
Kirajuku's changed as
much as Kirarigaoka has.
**[08:41] Mel**
So cute!
**[08:42] Mira**
Do you know this area, Mel-chan?
**[08:46] Mel**
I lived in Kirarigaoka
until I moved to the USA.
**[08:50] Mel**
I always came to Kirajuku for fun!
**[08:54] Mira**
Then I wonder if maybe
we've run into each other before.
**[09:01] Mel**
Sparkle!
**[09:02] Mira**
What sparkle?
**[09:04] Mel**
The sparkle of a twinkle star!
**[09:07] Mel**
I found Mel-Mel Star!
**[09:10] Mira**
A star?
**[09:12] Mira**
Oh, that? I think that's a comet.
It's been in the news, but not much.
**[09:19] Mel**
Yes, a sparkling comet!
**[09:21] Mel**
You know a lot about astronomy, Mira-Mira?
**[09:25] Mira**
I have a friend who's taught me some things.
**[09:27] Mira**
That's a star that travels
all around the universe.
**[09:30] Mira**
We can only see it faintly right now,
**[09:33] Mira**
but when it gets close to Earth,
it'll be super stunning!
**[09:36] Mel**
But it's so small and no one's
really talking about it...
**[09:41] Mira**
Yeah. I'd forgotten all about it.
**[09:45] Mira**
Do you like stars, Mel-chan?
**[09:48] Mira**
Even that little—
**[09:50] Mira**
Wait, huh?
**[09:52] Mel**
What's this, what's this?!
So cute! Exciting!
**[09:56] Mel**
Wow! Amazing! This is very wonderful!
**[09:59] Mel**
Is this Japanese horror?
**[09:59] Mira**
No, stop!
**[10:04] Mel**
Prism Stone!
**[10:06] Mel**
It's also so cute! And it's been so long!
**[10:09] Mira**
M-Mel-chan...
**[10:11] Mira**
You've gotta slow down some!
**[10:13] Mira**
I bet this is how you got lost.
**[10:16] Emo**
Mirai, you're late!
**[10:19] Emo**
We've been waiting!
**[10:21] Mira**
Sorry, Emo-chan, Rinka-chan.
**[10:24] Rin**
Oh? Who's this?
**[10:25] Rin**
Oh, um, this is...
**[10:27] Rin**
Are you Mira-Mira's friends?
**[10:29] Emo**
"Mira-Mira"?
**[10:31] Mel**
Hello-hello!
**[10:32] Mel**
Greetings! I'm Mel-Mel!
**[10:34] Mel**
Please call Mel-Mel "Mel-Mel"!
**[10:34] Sign**
Mel Mel
**[10:37] Emo**
Wha? Mel-Mel-Mel-Mel?
**[10:40] Emo**
Mel-Mel... "Mel"?
**[10:43] Mira**
She collapsed from hunger
in front of our store earlier.
**[10:47] Emo**
For real?
**[10:48] Mira**
I think she just got back
to Kirarigaoka and got lost.
**[10:52] Rin**
Got lost?
**[10:57] Emo**
So we've got a mysterious
beauty on our hands, huh?
**[10:59] Emo**
Nice to meet you, Mel-Mel!
**[11:01] Emo**
I'm Moegi Emo!
**[11:02] Rin**
I'm Aoba Rinka.
**[11:04] Rin**
Um, if we can help you in any way...
**[11:07] Mel**
I know!
**[11:09] Mel**
Emo-Emo and Rin-Rin!
**[11:11] Emo**
"Emo-Emo"?
**[11:12] Rin**
"Rin-Rin"?
**[11:16] Mel**
Any friend of Mira-Mira's
is a friend of Mel-Mel's!
**[11:20] Mel**
Love, love, love!
**[11:21] Emo**
M-Mirai...
**[11:24] Mira**
Mel-chan is very passionate
about meeting people.
**[11:29] Emo**
That tickles!
**[11:31] ---**
Knock it off!
**[11:33] Mega**
Isn't that...
**[11:37] Mega**
Could it really be?
**[11:54] Emo**
Emolicious!
**[11:55] Rin**
That's our Mirai-chan!
What a charming design.
**[11:58] Mira**
Are you sure?
**[12:00] Mira**
You think we can make cheer
competition flags based on this?
**[12:03] Emo**
The cheer competition is the main event
in the middle of the sports festival.
**[12:07] Emo**
We need these to be totally emolicious!
**[12:10] Mira**
That's so much pressure... I'm nervous.
**[12:13] Rin**
If we all work together, it'll be just fine.
**[12:16] Rin**
Let's ask for opinions on a
PriChan stream as we work on them.
**[12:20] Emo**
We can call it "Make Miracle Kiratts
Cheer Flags? We Tried It!"
**[12:24] Rin**
Yeah!
**[12:25] Emo**
It could be a totally emolicious show!
**[12:27] Mira**
Yeah! Let's give it a good ol' sparkling try.
**[12:29] Emo**
Then let's get right on the air!
**[12:32] Emo**
Or so I'd like to say, but first...
**[12:37] Emo**
Don't hog all of Mirai's mom's bagels!
**[12:41] Mel**
No!
**[12:41] Mel**
This is Mel-Mel's special lunch!
**[12:44] Emo**
Leave some for the rest of us!
**[12:47] Mel**
Mel-Mel is hungry!
**[12:49] Emo**
We're hungry too!
**[12:53] Yuz**
The studio's all ready... Huh?
**[12:57] Yuz**
Has the show started already?
**[12:58] Mira**
Th-This isn't the show!
**[13:02] Emo**
Hold it!
**[13:11] Man**
Keep it coming! Keep it coming!
**[13:13] Man**
Just like that! Just like that!

Hey, these look pretty good, huh?
**[15:13] Rin**
They do! All thanks
to your design, Mirai-chan.
**[15:16] Mira**
No, we all worked hard to make
these sparkling lovely flags.
**[15:22] Emo**
Now, should I give you preview
of the special cheer dance
**[15:26] ---**
I'm going to unveil
at the competition tomorrow?
**[15:32] Rin**
That's right!
**[15:34] Rin**
Emo-chan's been practicing
a dance for the cheer club...

And for the cheer competition too!

**[21:19] Emo**
That was rough...

You did great, Emo-chan.

That was the best!

M-Mel-chan...
**[21:28] Mel**
Mira-Mira's concert was
the most amazing ever!
**[21:32] Mel**
Mira-Mira, I didn't know
you were PriChan stars!
**[21:35] Mira**
Stars?
**[21:36] Mel**
Heavenly bodies twinkling
in the black void of space!
**[21:39] Mel**
Mira-Mira, you're stars!
**[21:41] Mel**
Mel-Mel loves sparkling stars just like you!
**[21:48] Anna**
As usual, you lack the even
the smallest hint of celebrity!
**[21:52] Emo**
You show your face again, Akagi Anna!
**[21:57] Mel**
An-An! Sarara!
**[22:03] Mira**
Oh? You know them, Mel-chan?
**[22:08] Mega**

**[22:14] Mega**
The PriChan idol prodigy...
**[22:17] Mega**
Shido Mel!
***SIGN*** Next time
**[23:50] Mega**
Mel-chan was a member of Meltic StAr?
**[23:53] Mega**
She said she came back to keep a promise.
**[23:56] Mega**
Does that mean...
**[23:57] Mega**
"I've returned even stronger!
Now, let's settle this!"
**[24:00] Mega**
Or maybe...
**[24:01] Mega**
"I've come to show you what
real show business is like!"
**[24:06] Mega**
Or something.
**[24:07] Mega**
That'd require some big leaps in character...
**[24:09] Mega**
Just who is Mel-chan anyway?!
