[00:01] Mira
    What should our next stream be?
[00:03] Rin
    We should research what's trendy right now.
[00:06] Mira
    Good idea.
SIGN    Mickey Nikaido Comes to Japan?
[00:08] Man
    We just received breaking news.
[00:10] Man
    Mickey Nikaido of the Designers Seven brand
    Universe Queen has quietly arrived in Japan.
[00:17] Man
    Unfortunately he wouldn't
    agree to interviews,
[00:19] Emo
    You can't even see his face, though...
[00:20] ---
    but that trademark hairstyle is spreading
    rumors that he's the real deal.
[00:22] Mira
    Is he really one of the Designers Seven?
[00:24] Rin
    The Universe Queen brand is known for
     mixing bright colors in bold, funky ways.
[00:32] Rin
    It goes for that kind of
    dazzling, gorgeous appeal.
[00:35] Rin
    I think it makes for nice clothing, but...
[00:38] ---
    Yeah?
[00:39] Mira
    Then if this is really true, it's incredible!
SIGN    Mickey Nikaido Comes to Japan?!
[00:43] Man
    It's unclear why he's here right now,
[00:45] Man
    but we've received word that a special
    event will be held in Japan soon.
[00:48] Rin
    I've heard that Mickey
    Nikaido loves a flashy show.
[00:52] Rin
    If it's really him, he probably wants a
    big entrance that'll really shock people!
[00:56] Emo
    I get it!
[00:57] ---
    An emoliciously flashy entrance
    would be great PR for his brand.
[01:00] Man
    However, Mickey disappeared immediately
    after being sighted at the airport.
[01:06] Man
    Why exactly is he here?
[01:09] Man
    The moment we find out, we'll let you know!
[01:11] Man
    Now, on to our next story...
[01:12] Mira
    Is there gonna be another special event?
[01:15] Emo
    We're powered up with Rinka here,
[01:17] Emo
    so Miracle Kiratts will win for sure!
[01:20] Rin
    Oh, don't say that...
[01:21] Rin
    We have to think up our next show first.
[01:25] Mom
    I see you're all working hard.
[01:27] Mom
    Here's a pick-me-up.
[01:28] Emo
    All right, snack time!
[01:30] Mira
    But we haven't even done anything yet...
[01:33] Emo
    Sweets are brain food. This'll help us think.
[01:36] Rin
    Oh, Emo-chan...
[01:37] Mom
    Now, now. Taking a break
    might just stir up some ideas.
[01:41] Rin
    You're right. Since we
    have them, let's enjoy them.
[01:43] Emo
    Yay!
[01:48] Mel
    What?
[01:57] Mel
    Pokey pokey...
[02:00] Mel
    Wow!
[02:01] Mel
    It's alive.
SIGN    Become a Private Detective? Mel Tried It!
SIGN    "Become a Private Detective? Mel Tried It!"
[03:39] Emo
    So, why did you call us here?
[03:42] Mel
    Because An-An and Sarara
    are busy with an event!
[03:45] Mel
    I figured the Kiratts didn't
    have anything to do.
[03:48] Emo
    We were having a project meeting, actually!
[03:51] Mel
    Oh, sorry about that!
[03:53] Rin
    But, Mel-chan... who is this?
[03:56] Mel
    Mr. Faint! He's cool.
[03:58] Mick
    Hi.
[03:59] Emo
    Mr. Faint?
[04:00] Mel
    Mel-Mel found him collapsed
    on the street, but he's alive.
[04:03] Mel
    Hence Mr. Faint!
[04:05] Mira
    You were the one collapsed on
    the street last time, Mel-chan.
[04:08] Mel
    And thank you for helping me then!
[04:10] Rin
    But what exactly happened?
[04:13] Mick
    Well...
[04:14] Mel
    He remembers nothing!
[04:17] Mick
    I can't remember why I'm here,
    or even what my name is.
[04:21] Mira
    You mean you have amnesia?
[04:24] Mel
    Yes!
[04:26] Mel
    So Mel-Mel's going to search
    for the memories he lost!
[04:29] Rin
    I don't think that's how amnesia works...
[04:32] Rin
    Do you have any clues?
[04:34] Mel
    This is our clue!
[04:35] En
    A PriCast? How's that a clue?
[04:37] Mel
    Huh? You don't know?
[04:39] Emo
    Of course I don't!
[04:41] Mick
    Um...
[04:42] Mick
    That PriCast thing...
[04:44] ---
    I feel like I use it a lot.
[04:47] Mira
    You think he runs a PriChan?
[04:49] Rin
    Maybe he works at a
    Prism Stone shop somewhere.
[04:52] Mira
    Then let's ask Meganee-san.
    She might know something.
[04:55] Rin
    If he's done streams, there
    should be some evidence online.
[04:58] Mel
    So Mel-Mel's going to use this to
    find Mr. Faint's lost memories!
[05:02] Emo
    I get it! So you called us here
     for help with that, huh?
[05:07] Emo
    You can count on us!
[05:08] Mel
    No, no!
[05:09] Mel
    This is what I need help with! Right here!
[05:13] Mel
    Mel-Mel ordered lots from this cafe
    while listening to Mr. Faint's story...
[05:18] Mel
    But Mel-Mel forgot her wallet today!
[05:21] Mel
    So please take care of it! Thanks!
[05:25] Mira
    Wait, Mel-chan!
[05:26] Emo
    Hey!
[05:27] Mel
    Mel-Mel will pay you back later!
[05:33] Sara
    Look, Anna.
[05:35] Sara
    Another special event is about to begin.
[05:39] Anna
    The Kiratts may have beaten
    us by a hair the last time...
[05:42] Anna
    But now that we've reunited as the perfect
    Meltic StAr, victory shall be ours!
[05:48] Sara
    I'm sure.
[05:51] Man
    Ladies...
[05:52] Man
    Might I have a word with you?
[05:56] Anna
    And... who are you, exactly?
[06:01] Anna
    That hairstyle...
[06:03] Anna
    One moment.
[06:04] Anna
    Could you be...
[06:07] Man
    Precisely!
[06:08] Man
    I am Mickey Nikaido!
[06:13] Anna
    I knew it! You're one of the Designers Seven!
[06:15] Anna
    What an honor to meet you!
[06:17] Sara
    What are you doing here?
[06:19] Sara
    Everyone's saying you
    disappeared at the airport.
[06:22] Man
    Being followed can be so inhibiting.
[06:26] Man
    It would've kept me from meeting up with
    superstar PriChan idols like yourselves!
[06:31] Anna
    Why, superstars? How honest of you!
[06:35] Sara
    So, what do you want with us?
[06:39] Man
    As it just so happens, I'm looking for
    PriChan idols worthy of my brand.
[06:44] Anna
    You mean...
[06:45] Man
    Yes!
[06:46] Man
    That's right!
    I'm here to sponsor Meltic StAr!
[06:51] Anna
    My, my! What exquisite taste you have.
[06:54] Sara
    Anna, get a hold of yourself.
[06:55] Anna
    Sara, this is the best news that
    could greet us upon our reunion!
[07:00] Man
    I'd like to discuss a few things with you...
[07:03] Man
    Events and such. And,
    of course, the associated costs...
[07:06] Anna
    Naturally.
[07:08] Anna
    We do wish to celebrate the recent
    perfection of Meltic StAr.
[07:11] Anna
    Money is no object indeed!
[07:13] Anna
    Now then...
[07:17] Anna
    Let us continue the discussion at my estate.
[07:21] Anna
    Come now! Time is money!
[07:23] Sara
    Heaven's sake...
[07:26] Anna
    I simply cannot wait!
[07:28] Anna
    To think one of the world-renowned
    Designers Seven wants to sponsor us...
[07:34] Anna
    You certainly won't be disappointed.
[07:34] Man
    What a naive young lady.
[07:36] ---
    We'll show you the true value of Meltic StAr!
[07:36] Man
    Getting her money will be
     even easier than I thought.
[07:40] Man
    Don't you worry!
    Leave every little thing to me!
[07:43] Anna
    I'm looking forward to it!
[07:49] Mel
    We must start with the scene of the crime.
[07:52] Mel
    This was where you fainted, wasn't it?
[07:54] ---
    Yes...
[07:55] Mel
    And our clue is this PriCast!
[07:57] Mick
    What are you going to do with that?
[07:59] Mel
    The foundation of any investigation
    is interrogation!
[08:01] Mel
    We'll hear stories from everyone in the area!
[08:05] Mel
    Hey, you there! You know this guy?
[08:07] Woman
    No.
[08:08] Mel
    Oh, really?
[08:09] Mel
    Hey, hey! You know this guy?
[08:12] Man
    I'm afraid not.
[08:15] Mel
    Oh, you don't know him either?
[08:17] Mel
    That's really too bad.
[08:18] Mel
    But never give up! Let's keep asking!
[08:21] Mel
    Excuse me, could I ask you a question?
[08:25] Mel
    Do any of you know this man?
[08:27] Girls
    Sure don't!
[08:29] Mel
    Doesn't anybody know him?
[08:32] Girl
    Hey, hey...
[08:32] Girl
    In that case...
[08:34] Girl
    Why not ask on your PriChan?
[08:36] Mel
    That's it!
[08:39] Emo
    That was my allowance for the whole month.
[08:42] Emo
    I hope Mel really does pay us back...
[08:45] Mira
    I'm sure it'll be fine, Emo-chan.
[08:50] Mira
    Mel-chan's streaming?
[08:54] Mel
    I think this should do it...
[08:57] Mel
    Hello! Am I live?
[08:59] Mel
    No problems?
[09:01] Girls
    You're on!
[09:02] Girls
    Perfect!
[09:03] Girls
    What's going on?
[09:04] Girls
    Okay, then let's get started!
SIGN    On the hunt!
[09:06] Mel
    Mel-Mel is on the hunt
    for information about...
[09:11] Mel
    who this person is!
SIGN    Who is this person?
[09:12] Aud
    We can't see him.
[09:13] Aud
    Show him to us properly!
[09:15] Aud
    We can't tell!
[09:16] Mel
    Okay, everyone, tell me everything you know!
[09:18] Mel
    Now let's search too!
[09:20] Mel
    Go, go!
[09:20] Emo
    What's this stream about?
[09:23] Rin
    It's all over the place.
[09:30] Mel
    Hello! Do you guys know this man?
[09:32] Mel
    He seems to have something
    to do with PriCasts...
[09:37] Mel
    Hey! Didn't your mamas teach you to listen?
[09:41] Mick
    Um...
[09:42] Mel
    These cats might not know you.
[09:44] Mel
    But don't worry!
    Mel-Mel isn't so easily discouraged!
[09:50] Mel
    Hey, hey! You know this guy?
[09:54] Mel
    A taciturn fellow...
[09:56] Mel
    All right, moving on to the next challenge!
[10:00] Mel
    You know this guy?
[10:01] Mel
    You know this guy?
[10:04] Mel
    It would appear that no one knows you.
[10:07] Mick
    You don't seem to be asking
    many actual people...
[10:12] Mel
    What's wrong?
[10:13] ---
    Well, uh...
[10:31] Anna
    Right this way.
[10:43] Anna
    Now, what kind of sponsorship does
     one of the Designers Seven offer?
[10:48] Man
    Th-That usually depends on your skill.
[10:51] Man
    First, show me your singing and dancing.
[10:53] Man
    If I like what I see,
    I might just officially sign you.
[10:57] Anna
    Very well.
[10:59] Anna
    Give us a minute then, if you will.
[11:02] Anna
    Now, follow me.
[11:06] Man
    But still... she's so rich,
    I can hardly stand it.
[11:10] Man
    Better look for something good
     in case I have to make a run for it.
[11:14] Man
    What's all this crap?
[11:15] Man
    They'd track me down
    right away with this junk.
[11:23] Man
    M-My, what a stupendous collection!
[11:27] Man
    Perhaps I'll just get myself some fresh air!
[11:29] Man
    I'll be right back...
[11:36] Sara
    Anna, are you sure that man is
    part of the Designers Seven?
[11:40] Anna
    But of course!
[11:41] Anna
    You saw the picture of him getting
    off the plane, didn't you?
[11:46] Sara
    We couldn't see his face, though.
[11:48] Anna
    Who but a member of the Designers Seven
    would have such a novel hairstyle?
[11:54] Anna
    Now that Mel has returned
    and Meltic StAr is perfected,
[11:57] Anna
    it's only natural that one of the
    Designers Seven wishes to sponsor us!
[12:00] Anna
    We cannot miss this chance to let
    our gorgeous, celebrity selves be known!
[12:05] Sara
    You think?
[12:06] Sara
    If you insist, I suppose I'll play along.
[12:11] Anna
    Do forgive the wait!
[12:13] Anna
    Now, shall we begin?
[12:32] Anna
    Well?
[12:33] Anna
    Can you see our skill?
[12:35] Anna
    We're a member short, but once she's here,
    we'll put on an even better show.
[12:40] Man
    You certainly are skilled.
[12:42] Man
    I shall indeed sponsor you!
[12:44] Man
    Now, I need to handle a few more prepar—
[12:47] Anna
    If it's about money...
[12:48] Anna
    Will this cover it?
[12:50] Man
    Y-Yes, that should be fine.
[12:52] Anna
    I'm afraid I only have my
    allowance on hand, but...
[12:59] Anna
    Take this golden statue of me!
[13:02] Anna
    If that remains insufficient...
[13:04] Man
    N-No, that's good.
[13:06] Anna
    Now, let us make an official announcement!
[13:09] Anna
    Mickey Nikaido's decision to
    sponsor Meltic StAr is huge news.
[13:15] Man
    What? Right now?!

    I already have the venue reserved!
[13:20] Man
    When did you do that?!
[13:21] Anna
    Now, let us proceed!
[13:24] Mel
    I can't find any information at all...
[13:27] Mick
    I'm sorry to make you do this all for me.
[13:30] Mel
    Hey, it's all good! No problem!
[13:32] Mel
    Okay, okay, okay!
[13:32] Mick
    But really... who am I?
[13:38] Mel
    I think I've seen him before...
[13:49] Mel
    You really do look familiar...
[13:52] Mel
    What?
[13:54] Mel
    An-An? An urgent Meltic StAr
     press conference?
SIGN    Meltic StAr Urgent Press Conference
[13:59] Mel
    She knows a lot of people! Let's ask her!
[14:01] Mick
    An-An?
[14:02] Mick
    Who's that?
[14:04] Mel
    What?! You don't know her?!
[14:11] Man
    Not good! How did this happen?
[14:15] Man
    I just wanted to scam this little rich girl...
[14:20] Man
    There's no escape...
[14:22] Anna
    You still can't get in touch with Mel?
[14:25] Sara
    I'm calling her PriCast,
    but she's not picking up.
[14:28] Anna
    She's always been a free spirit...
[14:31] Man
    W-Well, we should put off the press
    conference until everyone's here!
[14:36] Anna
    Oh, don't be silly. Mel really
    could be anywhere right now.
[14:40] Anna
    We simply must begin without her.
[14:42] Anna
    Now, let's get to it!
[14:44] Aud
    What's the press conference about?
[14:46] Aud
    Could it have to do with
    Mickey Nikaido coming to Japan?
[14:49] Aud
    That would be huge news!
[14:53] Anna
    To everyone here, I offer you my heartfelt
    gratitude for coming to Meltic StAr's
[14:56] ---
    urgent press conference on such short notice.
[15:00] Anna
    Today, I shall be announcing a special
    project that represents the next stage
[15:03] Anna
    for Meltic StAr as a perfect three-piece.
[15:05] Man
    It's already started...
[15:07] Man
    It's only a matter of time
    before they make me as a phony!
[15:10] Aud
    Hey, is that Mickey Nikaido?
[15:12] Man
    I'm done for!
[15:13] Aud
    I know that hairstyle! It's gotta be Mickey!
[15:16] Aud
    Yeah!
[15:17] Aud
    Is this why he came to Japan?
[15:18] Man
    I haven't been outed yet?
[15:21] Man
    I've fooled this girl so far...
[15:24] Man
    So I should see this thing through!
[15:29] Anna
    What is it now?
[15:31] Anna
    Mel! Where are you now?
[15:34] Mel
    Right here!

    Ha, I knew it!
[16:33] Mick
    I'm sure you're all
    wondering what I'm doing here.
[16:37] Mick
    But I fear I cannot tell you yet!
[16:40] Mick
    Just know it's even more exciting
    than whatever you're imagining!
[16:45] Mick
    All I can say is that we're awaiting
    your PriChan idol entries!
[16:51] Vo
    Like! Like! Like!
[16:52] Mick
    It appears they have plenty of likes,
[16:55] Mick
    so I'll turn this over to Meltic StAr!
[16:58] Mel
    Yay! A concert!

    What's the meaning of all this?

    Thanks for all your help.
[21:01] Mel
    Mickey! I couldn't recognize
    you without that hairstyle!
[21:06] Mick
    It is my greatest asset.
[21:08] Mick
    Is that not obvious?!
[21:11] Mel
    No comment.
[21:12] Anna
    What in the world?
[21:13] Anna
    Are there two Mickey Nikaidos?
[21:16] Sara
    No, no, Anna.
[21:18] Sara
    The one who said he'd sponsor
    us was an obvious phony.
[21:22] Anna
    A phony?
[21:25] Anna
    Then this is the real one?!
[21:27] Sara
    You only just realized that?
[21:28] Sara
    You really do worry me sometimes...
[21:31] Mel
    Speaking of which, how'd you
    lose your memory, Mickey?
[21:34] Mick
    You see...
[21:36] Mick
    I was planning out my surprise when
    my pompadour was attacked by birds.
[21:40] Mick
    I lost my balance, and that was that!
[21:42] Sara
    What troublesome birds...
[21:45] Mick
    Now, I simply must return to work.
[21:47] Mick
    Best of luck to you all.
[21:49] Mel
    Bye-bye!
[21:51] Sara
    By the way, Mel,
     how do you know Mickey Nikaido?
[21:56] Mel

    you met part of the Designers Seven?!
