[01:20] ---
    I'm glad you liked it.
[01:22] ---
    Great job on the editing, too,
    Rina-chan and Yu-chan.
[01:27] ---
    Embarrassed.
[01:28] ---
    Great job to the rest of you, too!
[01:30] ---
    I can't wait for the fans to see it, too.
[01:33] ---
    Are you premiering it online soon?
[01:35] ---
    We're discussing where we can show it
    with the student council right now.
[01:40] ---
    Though the student council
    president is right here...
[01:45] ---
    I'm hoping we can get even more school idols
    and fans to participate this time.
[01:51] ---
    Last time was a blast, so I'm sure
    we'll get plenty this time, too!
[01:54] ---
    It looks like a lot of people are watching
    the videos from the last one, too.
[01:58] ---
    A lot of other high schools other than
[02:00] ---
    Shinonome and Touou
    have contacted us, too.
[02:04] ---
    This makes me really happy.
[02:08] ---
    We're going to train hard again today
    so we don't let any of our fans down!
[02:14] ---
    But before that...

    Good morning.
[03:37] ---
    Morning. Were you up late
    practicing the piano again?
[03:42] ---
    Yeah...
[03:45] ---
    Have you gotten used to the music course?
[03:48] ---
    Well, it hasn't been
    that long since I switched.
[03:51] ---
    I've got a lot to catch up on
    from the first term,
[03:53] ---
    and I should play the piano every day.
[03:56] ---
    Don't push yourself too much, okay?
[03:59] ---
    Don't worry about me!
[04:00] ---
    This is what I want to do,

[04:47] ---
    for middle school students
    interested in coming here.
[04:51] ---
    To ensure everything goes smoothly,
[04:53] ---
    it will be crucial that we,
    the executive committee, does our part.
[04:57] ---
    Let's work together
    to make this event a success.
[04:59] ---
    Right.
[05:01] ---
    A lot of eyes are on
    our school idols this year,
[05:04] ---
    so it might be even more exciting.
[05:06] ---
    Y-You may be right...
[05:10] ---
    My name is Shioriko Mifune
    from the general curriculum.
[05:13] ---
    I have a question.
[05:15] ---
    Go right ahead.
[05:16] ---
    What exactly is the School Idol Club
    presenting at the club briefing?
SIGN    "Nijigasaki High School Open Campus" "Club Briefing" "Nijigasaki High School Idol Club" "Nagashi Somen Club"
[05:22] ---
    I heard they are going to
    announce the commencement
[05:25] ---
    of the second School Idol Festival.
[05:26] ---
    I actually looked into
    that matter, as well.
[05:30] ---
    A place where everyone's
    dreams come true...
[05:32] ---
    That is truly a wonderful idea.
[05:35] ---
    If it's going to be a great event for
    all of the students on campus,
[05:39] ---
    I'd like to help out, as well.
[05:42] ---
    That would be lovely!
[05:44] ---
    Er, President...?
[05:48] ---
    I see. So we can't have
    a concert the day of.
[05:51] ---
    Our bad...
[05:53] ---
    I'm so sad!
[05:55] ---
    Well, what can you do?
[05:57] ---
    We have a lot of clubs,
    so it's pretty competitive.
[06:01] ---
    Even if we lost the lottery,
    we'll have a booth in the west tower.
[06:05] ---
    We'll just have to hand out
    fliers there that day.
[06:07] ---
    There's something else we can do, too.
[06:10] ---
    We're actually going to be able to show
[06:12] ---
    our promotional video for the Fes
    on the east tower's giant screens.
[06:16] ---
    Our time will be limited,
    but it'll definitely get the word out!
[06:21] ---
    That's great!
[06:24] ---
    What's wrong, you two?
[06:26] ---
    Yu-senpai. If we have another week,
    we can upgrade the quality of the video.
[06:32] ---
    A lot of people are going to see it,
    so we want to do our best.
[06:38] ---
    You're right. Okay, let's do it.
[06:41] ---
    The rest of us should do everything we can
    to get ready for the open campus, too.
[06:45] ---
    Right.
[06:46] ---
    Let's do this!
[06:48] ---
    Yeah!

    "Onward!
    To the Open Campus!"
[07:08] ---
    How's it going?
[07:10] ---
    Trial and error still.
[07:11] ---
    We fix one thing and then
    another thing catches our eyes.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah...

    I'm back, Shioriko.
[07:56] ---
    It's been a while, Lanzhu.
[07:59] ---
    There are some girls I'd like to meet.
[08:02] ---
    Could you lead me to the School Idol Club?
[08:06] ---
    School Idol...
[08:10] ---
    So many people showed up again this year.
[08:13] ---
    Man... I wish we went to this
    when we were in middle school, too.
[08:18] ---
    We didn't give it much thought
    since we lived right nearby.
[08:23] ---
    And everything worked out.
[08:26] ---
    And we found what we wanted to do, too.
[08:29] ---
    Yeah.
[08:31] ---
    Where are you headed after this, Yu-chan?
[08:33] ---
    I'm going to go edit the video more.
[08:36] ---
    You're still editing?
[08:37] ---
    Don't worry. We're almost done.
[08:40] ---
    But you're busy with
    your music course, too, right?
[08:43] ---
    Are you sure you're
    managing everything okay?
[08:45] ---
    Well... I did fail a pop quiz
    the other day...
[08:49] ---
    What?!
[08:50] ---
    Don't worry. Really, it's fine.
[08:53] ---
    But...
[08:54] ---
    Found you!
[08:56] ---
    Please don't run through the hallways!
[08:58] ---
    You must be Ayumu!
[09:00] ---
    I've been wanting to meet you!
[09:03] ---
    Huh?!
[09:06] ---
    What?!
[09:10] ---
    I came to Nijigasaki High School
    from Hong Kong
[09:13] ---
    as a short-term exchange student
    so that I could be a school idol!
[09:17] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you!
[09:20] ---
    An exchange student?
[09:22] ---
    You came all the way from Hong Kong
    to become a school idol?
[09:26] ---
    You're just like me!
[09:28] ---
    "Buns Club"
[09:28] ---
    It's nice to meet you.
[09:30] ---
    I'm Lanzhu Zhong.
[09:31] ---
    I had heard we have
    another exchange student.
[09:34] ---
    "Dagashi Club"
[09:35] ---
    She's not exactly
    interested in school idols.
[09:38] ---
    --Okay, let's try this again!
[09:38] ---
    "Nagashi Somen Club"
[09:39] ---
    --I'm sure she's somewhere around campus.
    --Okay, let's try this again!
[09:43] ---
    I see.
[09:45] ---
    Well, I should get back to my post.
[09:48] ---
    Xièxiè. Thanks for all your help.
[09:51] ---
    Nothing beats having a childhood friend.
[09:53] ---
    On that note, everyone,
[09:56] ---
    I will see you later in the east tower.
[09:59] ---
    "Kamameshi Club"
    "Nijigasaki High School"
[10:00] ---
    Bye-bye!
[10:02] ---
    But there are plenty of other famous
    schools because of their school idols.
[10:06] ---
    Why'd you pick Nijigasaki?
[10:08] ---
    Because I saw the videos
    from the School Idol Festival.
[10:12] ---
    They really just grabbed my heart.
[10:17] ---
    All of you clearly expressed
    what you wanted to do.
[10:22] ---
    You were all so dazzling that
    I wanted to be on that stage, too.
[10:27] ---
    I can only do this now as
    a high school student. And that's why...
[10:31] ---
    ...I came here!
[10:34] ---
    That makes me so happy!
[10:36] ---
    Welcome to the Nijigasaki
    High School Idol Club!
[10:40] ---
    We're going to premiere our PV
    for the next Fes soon.
[10:44] ---
    Wanna see it?
[10:45] ---
    Really? Yes, I'd love to.
[10:47] ---
    We need to hand out as many fliers
    as we can so a lot of people show up.
[10:52] ---
    Setsu won't be able to make it
    because she has admin work, right?
[10:56] ---
    Right. Where're Shizuku-chan
    and Rina-chan?
[10:59] ---
    They're still editing.
[11:00] ---
    What?!
[11:02] ---
    I should get back to them, too.
[11:04] ---
    Absolutely not!
[11:06] ---
    If the three of you get together again,
[11:07] ---
    you're going to start
    messing with another scene!
[11:11] ---
    Y-You think so?
[11:12] ---
    Leave this to me!
[11:15] ---
    "Fortunetelling Club"
[11:15] ---
    Let's meet back up
    in front of the screens!
[11:18] ---
    I guess we can let Kasumi-chan handle that
    and hand out more fliers.
[11:23] ---
    We're the School Idol Club.
[11:26] ---
    Come see us!
[11:27] ---
    Oh, we know you!
[11:29] ---
    We saw your video!
[11:30] ---
    I see. Well, thanks.
[11:33] ---
    We're going to have another concert soon!
[11:35] ---
    You should totally come see us!
[11:36] ---
    Sure!
[11:37] ---
    Um... You're Ayumu Uehara-san, right?
[11:41] ---
    May I take a picture with you?
[11:45] ---
    Of course!
[11:47] ---
    Okay, say, "Cheese!"
[11:48] ---
    Cheese!
[11:51] ---
    See ya later!
[11:53] ---
    It's almost time for the premiere.
[11:56] ---
    You and Ayumu go ahead and
    take Lanzhu to the east tower.
[12:00] ---
    We'll head over once we're
    done handing out fliers.
[12:04] ---
    Okay, got it.
[12:06] ---
    Let's go.
[12:07] ---
    Sure.
[12:09] ---
    We want to make the School Idol Festival
    something anyone can participate in
[12:13] ---
    as long as they have something they love.
[12:17] ---
    They can belong to any club
    or no club at all.
[12:21] ---
    They don't even have to go to this school.
[12:24] ---
    I just want all kinds of people
    to be able to express what they love!
[12:28] ---
    Huh... What an interesting thing to say.
[12:33] ---
    So, I've been wondering...
[12:36] ---
    Are you a newbie idol? I didn't see you
    in any of the videos from the Fes.
[12:41] ---
    I'm not a school idol.
[12:44] ---
    What? Why are you in the club
    if you're not a school idol?
[12:50] ---
    School idols gave me my dream.
[12:55] ---
    So right now...
[12:56] ---
    I want to support everyone
    who gave me my dream,
[12:59] ---
    so I'm in the club.
[13:03] ---
    The reason I'm able to be a school idol
[13:05] ---
    is because of the support I get
    from the other club members,
[13:08] ---
    Yu-chan, and all of our fans.
[13:12] ---
    Fans supporting idols, huh...
[13:18] ---
    Come on! It's time already!
[13:20] ---
    Hurry it up!
[13:23] ---
    All done.
[13:24] ---
    I'm taking that file!
[13:26] ---
    Okay, let's hurry!
[13:31] ---
    --It's almost time. Are we going to--
[13:33] ---
    --Senpai!
    --It's almost time. Are we going to--
[13:35] ---
    Kasumi-chan!
[13:37] ---
    Senpai, take this.
[13:39] ---
    Thanks!
[13:44] ---
    We have to hurry! The School Idol Club's
    video's going to play!
[13:47] ---
    "Niji"
[13:50] ---
    "We're away from the booth right now.
    School Idol Club"
[13:56] ---
    It's finally time.
[13:58] ---
    I'm going to play it.
[14:04] ---
    Kasumi-chan!
[14:05] ---
    Wha... Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What is this?!
[14:10] ---
    That's all the footage
    we weren't going to use!
[14:14] ---
    We messed up...
[14:18] ---
    Looks like they're having some trouble.
[14:20] ---
    But you know... This is pretty cute, too.
[14:25] ---
    Let me sleep a little longer, Emma...
[14:31] ---
    --Stop the video right now!
[14:34] ---
    --It's Karin-senpai!
    --Stop the video right now!
[14:36] ---
    I'll go get the right file.
[14:38] ---
    Thanks.
[14:40] ---
    I'll go, too.
[14:41] ---
    Me, too!
[14:43] ---
    Was that it?
[14:45] ---
    I don't think I understood all of it,
    but it was pretty funny.
[14:48] ---
    Let's keep looking around.
[14:50] ---
    Sure.
[14:51] ---
    Are they having some trouble?
[14:53] ---
    President, it's time for the briefing
    of our various courses.
[14:56] ---
    Let's head to the auditorium.
[15:00] ---
    All those people who gathered
    to see the video are leaving!
[15:03] ---
    Is something the matter?
[15:05] ---
    Oh, we met you earlier.
[15:06] ---
    Can we change the time for the premiere?
[15:10] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[15:12] ---
    We can't allow any special treatment.
[15:14] ---
    Many of the people here didn't come here
    just to see school idols.
[15:20] ---
    It's very unfortunate, but...
[15:22] ---
    What can we do?
[15:24] ---
    No problem. Leave it to me.
[15:33] ---
    I can't let the School Idol Festival
[15:36] ---
    I'm going to appear in
    suffer any more setbacks.
[15:40] ---
    I just need to get
    everyone's attention, right?
[15:44] ---
    Mia.
[15:45] ---
    Yeah, sure. I gotta use this.
[15:54] ---
    What are you going to do?
[16:00] ---
    All eyes up here!
[16:01] ---
    Or you're going to miss out!
[16:05] ---
    This is the debut performance of
    the school idol, Lanzhu Zhong!
[16:09] ---
    Engrave the beginning of
    this legend into your hearts!
[16:17] ---
    Let me show you.
[16:21] ---
    Hey, it's me! Are you ready?
[16:26] ---
    Hotter, higher,
    faster than the speed of light
[16:30] ---
    Your heart, I'll take it higher
[16:50] ---
    Overwhelmingly stunning
[16:52] ---
    You should definitely feel it,
    cuz why not?
[16:54] ---
    I'll give you the excitement
[16:56] ---
    Come on! It's show time!
[16:58] ---
    Just seeming like
    the real deal (Uh-uh)
[17:00] ---
    Isn't enough, so
[17:02] ---
    Welcome to my world
[17:04] ---
    Anyone can keep up with me? Anyone?
[17:08] ---
    This view from my castle of solitude
[17:12] ---
    Is something that only I know!
[17:16] ---
    That's how perfect I am, ah!
[17:21] ---
    In a more addicted and intoxicated way
[17:24] ---
    I'll shoot through it all,
    ooh, I'm too good!
[17:28] ---
    I'm not afraid of anything,
    the time for games is over
[17:32] ---
    This is where everything begins
[17:37] ---
    Top of the top!
[17:39] ---
    Top of the world!
[17:41] ---
    Top of the top! (I AM THE BEST!)
[17:43] ---
    The world revolves around me
[17:45] ---
    Top of the top!
[17:47] ---
    Top of the world!
[17:49] ---
    Top of the top!
    (CUZ I AM THE BEST OF THE BEST!)
[17:52] ---
    Well, not bad, huh?
[18:11] ---
    Yu-senpai! Here!
[18:14] ---
    Thanks...
[18:23] ---
    Beyond the endless sky...
[18:28] ---
    Lanzhu, no singing
    outside of the auditorium.
[18:31] ---
    Really?
[18:33] ---
    But everyone enjoyed it, didn't they?
[18:35] ---
    Regardless of the reason, now that
    you are a student of this school,
[18:39] ---
    I will need you to write a formal apology.
[18:41] ---
    What?!
[18:43] ---
    Make sure you submit it within a week.
[18:48] ---
    Thanks, Lanzhu-chan!
[18:50] ---
    Your performance was amazing!
[18:52] ---
    Thanks! I can be in the
    School Idol Festival, too, right?
[18:57] ---
    Of course you can!
[18:59] ---
    Let's all do this together!
[19:01] ---
    We welcome you with open arms.
    Welcome to our club!
[19:04] ---
    I won't be joining.
[19:06] ---
    It appears as though
    our ideals don't match.
[19:10] ---
    Huh? What do you mean?
[19:14] ---
    Mifune-san.
[19:15] ---
    President.
[19:16] ---
    Is something the matter?
[19:18] ---
    Well...
[19:20] ---
    I want to be a school idol who captivates
    everyone more than anyone else.
[19:25] ---
    Idols giving fans something
    to dream about is wonderful.
[19:30] ---
    But we only need to give them dreams.
[19:33] ---
    Idols who need support from others
    to perform are just pathetic.
[19:38] ---
    Hey!
[19:40] ---
    I'll be applying solo at the School Idol
    Festival as Lanzhu Zhong.
[19:44] ---
    I don't see my dream
    coming true with this club.
[19:48] ---
    That's why I'll do this on my own.
[19:52] ---
    Let me ask you one more time, Yu...
[19:54] ---
    Why are you in this club?
[19:58] ---
    I came all this way because
    seeing school idols grabbed my heart
[20:01] ---
    and I realized I wanted to do this, too.
[20:04] ---
    But your dream isn't to be
    a school idol, right?
[20:07] ---
    Then you should leave this club behind
    and seriously pursue your dream.
[20:17] ---
    There's no doubt that
    you're amazing, Lanzhu-chan.
[20:20] ---
    You're able to express yourself so boldly
    through your words and your performance.
[20:25] ---
    But when it comes to doing
    something that I love,
[20:28] ---
    I'm definitely not going to lose to you.
[20:32] ---
    I've still got a long way to go though.
[20:35] ---
    But I also want to make my dream come true
[20:37] ---
    within this club my own way.
[20:42] ---
    That goes for us, too.
[20:44] ---
    We're all here because of
    what we want to do.
[20:50] ---
    I'll prove that I'm right
    at the School Idol Festival.
[20:55] ---
    The one who'll gather the most attention
    at the School Idol Festival
[20:59] ---
    is me.
[21:01] ---
    Bring it on.
[21:03] ---
    Now we have one more thing
    to look forward to!
[21:05] ---
    We can compete through
    our performances there.
[21:09] ---
    Bye-bye.
[21:12] ---
    Good grief.
[21:14] ---
    Ugh! What's her problem?
[21:17] ---
    Well, she really did put on
    an amazing performance.
[21:21] ---
    She must've practiced a lot
    before coming to Japan.
[21:26] ---
    This just means that we'll
    have to work even harder now.
[21:29] ---
    Yu-chan.
[21:31] ---
    Even if our dreams are different,
    I'll always be there for you.
[21:35] ---
    Me, too! I'll support you lots!
[21:39] ---
    That goes for us, too.
[21:45] ---
    Thanks!
[22:05] ---
    I found you!
[22:07] ---
    You had your eye on me, too
[22:12] ---
    Is this where it all begins?
[22:16] ---
    It's actually already begun
    (Now, let's go)
[22:20] ---
    Feelings (We have so many of them)
[22:24] ---
    Once they connect (It cheers us up!)
[22:28] ---
    Let our hearts become stronger
    and let's work even harder
[22:36] ---
    So at any time, our dream is our sun
[22:44] ---
    After we cry,
    let's put a smile on our faces
[22:48] ---
    And talk about the future
[22:52] ---
    At any time, our dream is our sun
[23:00] ---
    Even if the wind or rain hit hard
[23:03] ---
    Remember, there's a light
    that shines down on us
[23:10] ---
    I'm going to try to
    give it my all again today
[23:20] ---
    How'd it go?
[23:22] ---
    Niji High truly has some
    interesting school idols.
[23:26] ---
    The girl I met the other day
    just happened to be one, too.
[23:31] ---
    I'll say hi the next time I see her.
[23:35] ---
    "Episode 2: Overlapping Colors"
[23:36] ---
    Next time, "Overlapping Colors."
