    This sky-blue sky that stretches
    as far as the eye can see...
[00:12] ---
    It was just too bright for me to see.
[00:15] ---
    What exactly can I do once I become an idol?
[00:23] ---
    Let's see, the map of the student dorms...
[00:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[00:33] ---
    U-Um, do you go to Nijigasaki High School?
[00:40] ---
    Thank you for the other day.
[00:43] ---
    Oh...
[00:44] ---
    Are you by yourself?
[00:45] ---
    Yes. I don't like being in crowds.
[00:48] ---
    I see.
[00:51] ---
    But would you mind me joining you for lunch?
[00:54] ---
    Do as you please.
[01:00] ---
    "Niji"
[01:01] ---
    I've always dreamed about eating this
    ever since I lived in Switzerland!
[01:15] ---
    Buono!
[01:18] ---
    You came all the way to Japan just to eat that?
[01:21] ---
    Huh? Oh, no. That's not the only--
[01:24] ---
    I'm kidding.
[01:25] ---
    Oh...
[01:27] ---
    You see, I came to Japan
    to become a school idol.
[01:31] ---
    School idol?
[01:34] ---
    When I was little, I was watching
    videos of Japanese idols
[01:37] ---
    and my heart felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
[01:40] ---
    So I always dreamed of becoming
    an idol who can do that, too.
[01:45] ---
    And you came all the way to Japan for that?
[01:48] ---
    Impressive.
[01:51] ---
    Um...
[01:52] ---
    Are you Karin Asaka-san?
[01:54] ---
    Y-Yes?
[01:57] ---
    We always see you in magazines!
[02:00] ---
    We're huge fans!
[02:01] ---
    Why, thank you.
[02:02] ---
    We'll keep cheering you on!
[02:08] ---
    You're a model?
[02:10] ---
    Yes. I'm just a fashion magazine model.
[02:13] ---
    Wow...
[02:14] ---
    Wanting to be an idol is rather impressive,
    too. Let's both do our best.
[02:20] ---
    Yeah!
[02:23] ---
    Let's go to the future!

[03:43] ---
    So let's connect our dreams together
[03:53] ---
    "Episode 5: Something I Can Only Do Right Now"
[03:55] ---
    They're both buono!
[03:58] ---
    I see your appetite is
    as hearty as ever, Emma.
[04:00] ---
    Well, it's just all so good.
[04:04] ---
    Do you have your club again today?
[04:07] ---
    Yup! We had even more people join,
    so it's been really lively lately.
[04:11] ---
    And now that we decided to be solo idols,
    everyone's been even more motivated.
[04:16] ---
    I see.
[04:17] ---
    I wish you could join, too, Karin-chan.
[04:21] ---
    You know that I don't like
    being around too many people.
[04:25] ---
    Right...
[04:27] ---
    Well, I better get going.
[04:31] ---
    Karin-chan...?
[04:35] ---
    --There, there, there...
    --Meow...
[04:39] ---
    Patting you on the head like this
    reminds me of Neve-chan.
[04:43] ---
    Is that one of your friends in Switzerland?
[04:45] ---
    Nope. They're one of our baby goats back home.
[04:48] ---
    Baby goats?!
[04:49] ---
    You have goats back at your place?
[04:51] ---
    Yup. When I was little,
    I'd sing to our goats all the time.
[04:57] ---
    Wow, that takes me back.
[05:00] ---
    "Niji"
[05:00] ---
    Emma-san, don't you ever feel
    homesick being away from home?
[05:04] ---
    Yeah. But being with all of you
[05:06] ---
    feels like I'm with all my
    little brothers and sisters back home.
[05:09] ---
    It's always so lively and fun.
[05:12] ---
    That makes me... happy.
[05:14] ---
    I think my family's worried
    if I'm doing okay in Japan though.
[05:19] ---
    It looks like everyone's here.
[05:21] ---
    You two took a while.
[05:25] ---
    What is it, Kasumi-chan?
[05:27] ---
    Ladies, take a look at this.
[05:29] ---
    "Introducing the Niji High School Idols!
    Ayumu Uehara"
[05:29] ---
    That's Ayumu's video!
[05:31] ---
    --I'm Ayumu Uehara and I'm a member of
    the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!
    --Wh-Why are we all watching this?
[05:33] ---
    --I'm Ayumu Uehara and I'm a member of
    the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!
    --Well, you see, the views on this video have skyrocketed lately.
[05:37] ---
    "2095 views"
[05:40] ---
    "Derosuke: She's going places!"
    "Illy Murphy: Cute"
    "fmy: A goddess has descended"
[05:40] ---
    There are lots of comments, too.
[05:43] ---
    You're right...
[05:44] ---
    So we have an idea.
[05:47] ---
    Why don't we all make
    promotional videos as solo idols?
[05:51] ---
    Promotional videos?
[05:53] ---
    Yes.
[05:54] ---
    Introductions or showing off our talents.
    Anything to show off our appeal.
[05:59] ---
    Wow, PVs, huh? That sounds fun!
[06:03] ---
    That'd be perfect to show your family,
    wouldn't it, Emma-san?
[06:06] ---
    What kind of PV should we make?
[06:08] ---
    Huh? What kind?
[06:13] ---
    ...a light of my very own, DIVE!
[06:30] ---
    Setsuna-chan's so cool.
[06:33] ---
    It's been played so many times.
[06:35] ---
    Yes, I'm honored.
[06:37] ---
    You did the editing for this, right, Rinari?
[06:40] ---
    Yeah. I got a lot of ideas from Yu-san.
[06:44] ---
    I didn't say much.
[06:46] ---
    What about yours, Kasumi-chan?
[06:48] ---
    Come on, Kasumin!
[06:49] ---
    "Introducing the Niji High School Idols!
    Kasumin"
[06:50] ---
    Hello!
[06:52] ---
    Yup, of course Kasumi-chan is as cute as ever.
[06:56] ---
    Oho, Senpai.
[06:57] ---
    I see that you are a lady of culture, as well.
[06:59] ---
    If we can get our names out there even more with
    this, performing a concert will not be a dream.
[07:03] ---
    We're counting on everyone to make PVs
[07:06] ---
    overflowing with appeal
    just like Kasumin's, okay?
[07:09] ---
    Appeal... I wonder what
    I should concentrate on.
[07:14] ---
    Well... In your case...
[07:18] ---
    What?
[07:19] ---
    First you're smiling,
    then you start crying suddenly,
[07:22] ---
    then puff up your cheeks when you get angry.
[07:25] ---
    There's never a dull moment with you.
[07:27] ---
    Yu-chan, that doesn't make me
    sound like an idol at all!
[07:31] ---
    See! That's exactly what I'm talking about!
[07:32] ---
    Oh, jeez!
[07:34] ---
    --Dang it, Yu-chan!
    --You're always observing us.
[07:37] ---
    Not just Ayumu-chan, but all of us.
[07:40] ---
    And you're always researching stuff
    about school idols, so it's been a huge help.
[07:46] ---
    I'm so obsessed with school idols right now.
[07:49] ---
    So I want to support all of you
    as much as I can.
[07:52] ---
    Having our own personal cheer squad
    makes me want to go all out.
[07:58] ---
    Agreed. I feel like I have to
    work harder, as well.
[08:02] ---
    You really don't have to work
    any harder, Setsuna-senpai.
[08:05] ---
    No, no. There's so much I need to work on.
[08:07] ---
    Aw, but if you try any harder,
    it's going to affect my popularity!
[08:15] ---
    "Kanata-senpai" "Ai-senpai"
    "PJs" "being punny"
    "lullabies" "sports"
[08:16] ---
    I think this basically sums you two up.
[08:19] ---
    Do you have an idea of what you
    want to do for your PV, Emma-san?
[08:22] ---
    Like what kind of idol you strive to be?
[08:24] ---
    I want to be an idol that can make people
    feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
[08:29] ---
    That sounds just like you, Emma-san.
[08:31] ---
    But I don't know what kind
    of idol that actually is.
[08:36] ---
    Feeling all warm and fuzzy inside...
[08:38] ---
    I wonder how you visualize that.
[08:40] ---
    Kanata-chan needs her pillow right about now.
[08:43] ---
    Perhaps a novel that brings you to tears.
[08:45] ---
    For example, there's this story
    about a girl and her puppy...
[08:47] ---
    Kasumin's special buns! What else?
[08:50] ---
    Anime, without a doubt!
[08:51] ---
    I think it's plushies for me.
[08:54] ---
    My grandma's nuka pickles!
[08:55] ---
    School idols, of course!
[09:00] ---
    We all really do have different answers.
[09:03] ---
    I think Emma-san's image is important here.
[09:05] ---
    Yeah.
[09:06] ---
    Hm...
[09:08] ---
    Well, with acting, it broadens your imagination
    when you actually wear costumes.
[09:13] ---
    In that case...
[09:15] ---
    Huh? Costumes?
[09:18] ---
    "Costumes and Accessories Club"
[09:22] ---
    Thank you so much!
[09:24] ---
    N-No problem.
[09:26] ---
    Way to go, Karin-chan. You've got connections.
[09:31] ---
    I just happened to be in the same class
    as some of the club members.
[09:34] ---
    How's it going, Emma-san?
[09:36] ---
    Yup, it's perfect.
[09:44] ---
    Welcome home, my lady.
[09:48] ---
    Te-he.
[09:50] ---
    She's so cute...
[09:52] ---
    Can I try a few others?
[09:54] ---
    Of course!
[09:56] ---
    Shall we go watch the fireworks?
[09:58] ---
    Heck yeah!
[10:00] ---
    Yay! Go, fight, win!
[10:03] ---
    Rawr! I'm Beary Verde! I'm gonna eat you up!
[10:08] ---
    My heart...
[10:09] ---
    That's a costume, too?!
[10:11] ---
    Yes.
[10:13] ---
    I wonder if this is what it feels like
    to make people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
[10:17] ---
    Say, what about this? I think it'd
    look great on you, Emma.
[10:21] ---
    Wow, no wonder you're a model!
    You've got great taste.
[10:25] ---
    Hey, Emma-san. Before you
    change into your next outfit,
[10:28] ---
    can I get a picture with you?
[10:29] ---
    Of course.
[10:31] ---
    Then I want one, too!
[10:32] ---
    Me, too!
[10:34] ---
    Okay, Rinari. Get in the picture right here.
[10:37] ---
    Okay.
[10:39] ---
    Come on, Karin-chan. Get in the picture, too.
[10:41] ---
    Huh? Nah, I'm good.
[10:43] ---
    Aw, come on!
[10:51] ---
    Sorry, I have to go.
[10:55] ---
    Karin-chan...
[10:58] ---
    An interview?
[11:01] ---
    Yes, of course.
[11:10] ---
    "Questionnaire"
    "Q.1: What's the most important thing
    to do as a model?" "Q.2: What are you most interested in?"
[11:12] ---
    What I'm interested in?
[11:14] ---
    What I want to do on my days off?
[11:21] ---
    "Huge Feature on
    School Idols Across the Country"
[11:25] ---
    Yeah, right.
[11:27] ---
    Karin-chan.
[11:28] ---
    Emma?!
[11:30] ---
    Hang on.
[11:31] ---
    Sure.
[11:33] ---
    Come in.
[11:37] ---
    Oh, jeez. It's so cluttered again.
[11:41] ---
    You can just leave it.
[11:44] ---
    Thanks for everything today.
[11:46] ---
    Do you want to see
    the pictures we took after that?
[11:48] ---
    Not right now.
[11:50] ---
    Okay...
[11:54] ---
    Karin-chan.
[11:57] ---
    Are you interested in them?
[12:00] ---
    Then you should join the club!
    It's so much fun!
[12:04] ---
    All of us are working so hard
    to become school idols!
[12:08] ---
    I'm not interested at all.
[12:11] ---
    I just thought that magazine
    could help you out, Emma.
[12:14] ---
    --But...
    --I have my modeling work,
[12:18] ---
    so I really don't have time
    to be a school idol.
[12:21] ---
    You know that don't you?
[12:25] ---
    I see...
[12:27] ---
    You're always helping me out,
[12:29] ---
    so I thought that we might
    be able to do this together.
[12:32] ---
    I just want to support you
    because you're working so hard.
[12:36] ---
    But if I'm giving you
    the wrong idea, I'll back off.
[12:40] ---
    Karin-chan?
[12:42] ---
    You can take that with you.
[12:44] ---
    Use it for some costume ideas, or whatever.
[12:47] ---
    Oh, and...
[12:48] ---
    Don't invite me to the club anymore.
[13:00] ---
    Why?
[13:02] ---
    Why did she get so mad?
    Do you hate it that much?
[13:07] ---
    I don't understand, Karin-chan...
[13:12] ---
    Yup... Flowers and Emma-chan
    are a perfect match.
[13:17] ---
    Huh? You don't need to change?
[13:20] ---
    We were going to start with her uniform
    and then change into all kinds of outfits.
[13:24] ---
    All kinds?
[13:25] ---
    We couldn't settle on one,
    so we figured she could wear all of them.
[13:30] ---
    That might be interesting.
[13:32] ---
    We'll be able to see all of
    the wonderful sides to Emma-san.
[13:35] ---
    Camera... Ready.
[13:37] ---
    Then let's get started.
[13:39] ---
    Ready... and action!
[13:42] ---
    I'm Emma Verde. A third-year at Nijigasaki
    in the international exchange program.
[13:47] ---
    --I came to Japan all the way from Switzerland
    to become a school idol.
    --I wonder what's wrong with Emma-san.
[13:50] ---
    --I came to Japan all the way from Switzerland
    to become a school idol.
    --Maybe she's sleepy.
[13:55] ---
    --Okay, I'm going to go change.
    --How's it look?
[13:56] ---
    --Okay, I'm going to go change.
    --Good. She looks cute.
[13:56] ---
    --All right.
    --Good. She looks cute.
[14:05] ---
    I'm not interested at all.
[14:08] ---
    She seemed like a completely different person.
[14:11] ---
    I wonder which one is the real...
[14:13] ---
    Emma-san.
[14:15] ---
    What is it?
[14:16] ---
    Well, you were taking
    a really long time to get changed.
[14:20] ---
    Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?
[14:23] ---
    No... I'm sorry. I made you all worry.
[14:27] ---
    Even though I just want to make everyone
    feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
[14:30] ---
    --Emma-san?
    --Oh, I'm fine.
[14:33] ---
    I should get changed. Just one sec.
[14:36] ---
    Sure.
[14:37] ---
    Hey, this is the newest issue.
    Can I take a look?
[14:40] ---
    Sure.

[14:58] ---
    Karin-chan...
[15:00] ---
    Um, I'm really sorry.
[15:03] ---
    I have to go!
[15:15] ---
    My questionnaire...
[15:18] ---
    Where could it have gone?
[15:23] ---
    E-Emma?!
[15:26] ---
    Come with me!
[15:30] ---
    Hey! What's with you?
[15:34] ---
    Hang out with me today. Please.
[15:39] ---
    H-Hey!
[16:13] ---
    I don't remember the last time
    I had this much fun.
[16:17] ---
    Karin-chan.

[16:20] ---
    This is yours, right? It was
    in the magazine you gave me.
[16:25] ---
    Is that how you really feel?
[16:28] ---
    It says the thing that you're
    most interested in is school idols.
[16:32] ---
    That's just...
[16:35] ---
    Why didn't you tell me?
[16:37] ---
    Why did you act like you weren't interested?
[16:40] ---
    Why did you keep those feelings locked up?
[16:46] ---
    Do you remember what I told you before?
[16:49] ---
    I want to be an idol that can make
    everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside.
[16:55] ---
    But... I couldn't even make you feel like that
    when you're the closest person to me.
[17:02] ---
    That might mean that I won't be able
    to change how anyone else feels...
[17:08] ---
    Emma...
[17:09] ---
    It's been so long since I've seen you smile.
[17:12] ---
    I want you to smile even more, Karin-chan!
[17:15] ---
    I want to know even more about you, Karin-chan!
[17:27] ---
    When I started helping you out with the club...
[17:32] ---
    ...it was a lot of fun.
[17:37] ---
    All of you were heading towards one goal
[17:40] ---
    while being worried,
    butting heads, and laughing.
[17:44] ---
    Everything that I thought was dumb
    and had been avoiding all this time...
[17:47] ---
    ...was all really fun.
[17:51] ---
    But that's not who I...
    That's not who Karin Asaka is.
[17:57] ---
    I'm supposed to be the cool, mature one.
[18:00] ---
    That's me.
[18:04] ---
    I can't just...
[18:06] ---
    You get it now, don't you?
    This was all my fault.
[18:10] ---
    Not yours, Emma.
[18:12] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to make everyone...
[18:18] ---
    It's okay, Karin-chan.
[18:21] ---
    You can be whoever you want to be
    as long as you're smiling.
[18:24] ---
    That's the best you.
[18:27] ---
    So... it'll be okay.
[18:39] ---
    Let me know how you're feeling
    even more, Karin-chan.
[18:45] ---
    Tell me!
[19:02] ---
    I'm sure our dreams are waiting
[19:05] ---
    For us right here
[19:07] ---
    I want to go beyond the clear, blue sky
[19:11] ---
    And tell you even more
[19:22] ---
    Once the door of unknown fates
[19:27] ---
    Finally opens up (It's so exciting)
[19:30] ---
    A new world opens up before us
[19:33] ---
    It's a bit scary but
[19:36] ---
    This trunk is stuffed full
[19:38] ---
    With memories
[19:40] ---
    Let's hold onto it tightly
[19:44] ---
    The feelings (within my heart)
[19:46] ---
    Are starting to race (They are!)
[19:49] ---
    It's really hard
[19:51] ---
    To lie to them (Isn't it?)
[19:57] ---
    Listen to your heart
[19:59] ---
    Our dreams will awaken
[20:02] ---
    Right here in this place
[20:05] ---
    It's going to shine (And in that moment)
[20:07] ---
    My hand's going to reach for it
[20:09] ---
    I'm going to make it come true
[20:12] ---
    No matter what happens from now on
[20:15] ---
    I can't let go (Of these feelings)
[20:17] ---
    Let's change them into courage
[20:20] ---
    La Bella Patria
[20:22] ---
    Please let this song reach you
[20:38] ---
    Do you really think... I can be a school idol?
[20:44] ---
    I'm pretty sure you already started being one
[20:46] ---
    the moment you decided you wanted to do it.
[20:53] ---
    Yeah.
[21:12] ---
    As we slowly run down this path
[21:15] ---
    Something is trying to come to life
[21:18] ---
    I want to tell you, I want to tell you that
[21:25] ---
    The sky that we look up at every day
[21:28] ---
    Has a blue that changes with the seasons
[21:32] ---
    There are no rules, it's telling us
    to depict it however we please
[21:39] ---
    Let's not be in a hurry!
[21:41] ---
    Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!
[21:45] ---
    Let's all pursue the things that we love
[21:54] ---
    We don't know where we're headed to just yet
[21:58] ---
    Hopefully, there's an exciting
    future awaiting us
[22:01] ---
    It'd make me happy
    if we can both smile about that
[22:05] ---
    Thank you again today
[22:08] ---
    Now, let us open up our very own maps
[22:11] ---
    And casually take flight
[22:15] ---
    I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again
[22:20] ---
    I just want to keep dreaming!
[22:27] ---
    What?!
[22:28] ---
    Karin-senpai's going to be
    a school idol now, too?
[22:31] ---
    Yup! It's going to be even more fun
    with Karin-chan around!
[22:35] ---
    Sure is.
[22:36] ---
    Ah... I get to look forward to
    supporting even more people!
[22:39] ---
    Oh, jeez...
[22:41] ---
    Welcome to the School Idol Club.
[22:44] ---
    Thanks.
[22:45] ---
    But are you going to be able to join the club
    when you're already a model?
[22:50] ---
    Sure. I'm going to strive to be a top model
    and a top school idol, as well.
[23:00] ---
    Emma-san's PV views and
    comments are growing a lot.
[23:05] ---
    --Really?
    --Wow, Emma-san!
[23:08] ---
    My family back home called me, too.
    They were super happy.
[23:12] ---
    Then this is a huge success!
[23:14] ---
    But of course.
[23:17] ---
    I shot it, after all.
[23:19] ---
    I'm going to shoot yours, Karin-chan!
[23:21] ---
    I wouldn't have it any other way, Emma.
[23:23] ---
    Yeah!
[23:28] ---
    What's wrong, Rinari?
