**[00:08] ---**
Hey, wanna stop by some place on our way home?
**[00:11] ---**
I want to go to the arcade, then!
**[00:12] ---**
Really? The arcade?
**[00:14] ---**
There's a plushie I want.
**[00:17] ---**
Sure, let's go.
**[00:19] ---**
Yay!
**[00:20] ---**
I haven't been to an arcade in ages!
**[00:22] ---**
--Arcade...
--Neither have I.
**[00:23] ---**
I'm gonna get that plushie!
**[00:25] ---**
What did you want to get?
**[00:26] ---**
Well, there's this bear...
**[00:29] ---**
U-Um...
**[00:32] ---**
Hm?
**[00:33] ---**
I have to talk...
**[00:45] ---**
Never mind.
**[00:54] ---**
It's hard expressing how you feel sometimes.
**[01:04] ---**
That's especially true for me.
**[01:13] ---**
"I want to be friends with you."
**[01:15] ---**
There's a huge obstacle in the way
for me to even say that.

Rinari! They're coming at us.
**[03:47] ---**
On it.
**[03:50] ---**
Save me!
**[03:52] ---**
I'll be right there, Yu-*chan*!
**[03:54] ---**
I'm coming to back you up right now.
**[03:57] ---**
Leave this to Ai-*san*!
**[04:01] ---**
That was so much fun!
**[04:03] ---**
I came here when I was little, but now,
they even have something like this.
**[04:08] ---**
You two were really good!
**[04:11] ---**
I come here all the time with Rinari.
**[04:14] ---**
Are you good at these?
**[04:17] ---**
I love video games.
**[04:18] ---**
I didn't do that great today,
but let's come here again!
**[04:22] ---**
--Okay.
--What should we do next?
**[04:25] ---**
Tennoji-*san*?
**[04:28] ---**
Hey, it is Tennoji-*san*.
**[04:29] ---**
Friends of yours?
**[04:31] ---**
Classmates.
**[04:32] ---**
Wait, is that Ai-*senpai*?!
**[04:35] ---**
--Ayumu-*chan*?!
--Huh? Yes...
**[04:37] ---**
I saw your School Idol Club PVs!
Ai-*senpai*, you're awesome!
**[04:42] ---**
Ooh, thanks!
**[04:44] ---**
You're so cute, Ayumu-*chan*!
I'm totally a fan now!
**[04:48] ---**
I've never had someone tell me that in person.
**[04:51] ---**
I'm so happy.
**[04:52] ---**
So cute!
**[04:56] ---**
We saw yours, too, Tennoji-*san*.
**[04:59] ---**
Meow!
**[05:00] ---**
Hup!
**[05:02] ---**
Hello. I'm Rina Tennoji.
**[05:05] ---**
That character is great.
**[05:06] ---**
Yeah! I love how it moves.
**[05:10] ---**
Did you come to check out
the stage here for a possible concert?
**[05:14] ---**
Concert?
**[05:15] ---**
Joypolis's stage. They're doing
school idol concerts lately.
**[05:20] ---**
Apparently, Shinonome Academy that's nearby
had a performance here last week.
**[05:24] ---**
Huh... I see.
**[05:26] ---**
We would love to see all of you perform soon!
**[05:28] ---**
I'd love to see you, too!
**[05:29] ---**
You guys should totally do a concert!
**[05:31] ---**
--I want to be friends with them...
--Please!
**[05:34] ---**
I will.
**[05:39] ---**
I'm going to do a concert here.
**[05:42] ---**
What?! A concert?!
**[05:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:46] ---**
Well, this is rather sudden.
**[05:50] ---**
I know I have a lot of stuff to work on,
but I want everyone to see it.
**[05:57] ---**
And I ended up using that character in my PV.
**[06:02] ---**
My classmates liked it,
**[06:06] ---**
but that's not the real me.
**[06:10] ---**
Should I not do it?
**[06:13] ---**
Go for it.
**[06:16] ---**
You have to decide for yourself, Rina-*chan*.
**[06:18] ---**
I'll support whatever you
decide to do, Rina-*san*.
**[06:21] ---**
Yes. I think it's very important that
you want to challenge yourself like this.
**[06:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:28] ---**
So when are you planning to do this?
**[06:31] ---**
They happened to have a day open up.
**[06:34] ---**
It's next Saturday.
**[06:36] ---**
That really is sudden!
**[06:37] ---**
Now, now...
**[06:39] ---**
I'll help, too!
**[06:41] ---**
Are you sure?
**[06:42] ---**
I'm gonna help, too.
**[06:44] ---**
M-Me, too!
**[06:45] ---**
I will also help, of course.
**[06:47] ---**
So basically, we're all supporting her.
**[06:53] ---**
Thank you.

It looks like they'll somewhat
**[06:59] ---**
be able to accommodate how we
want to set up this performance.
**[07:02] ---**
I'll make the visuals myself.
**[07:04] ---**
You are pretty great at that, Rinari.
**[07:07] ---**
Mm.
**[07:08] ---**
But...
**[07:11] ---**
I'm not confident about my performance.
**[07:14] ---**
So I want you to teach me.
**[07:25] ---**
She seems more flexible now.
**[07:27] ---**
Well, she has been stretching every day.
**[07:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:31] ---**
Open your mouth really wide.
**[08:00] ---**
--Zzz...
--Kanata-*san*?!
**[08:01] ---**
She's asleep?
**[08:02] ---**
What should we do, Shizuko?!
**[08:05] ---**
Hello! Today, Kasumin's going to
cast a spell on everyone in the venue
**[08:11] ---**
to make you all crazy about me!
**[08:13] ---**
--Yeah! Yeah!
--I already am!
**[08:16] ---**
You've got this, Kasukasu!
**[08:18] ---**
Please don't call me Kasukasu! Hmph!
**[08:21] ---**
What exactly are we practicing?
**[08:23] ---**
MCing.
**[08:26] ---**
Um... Thank you very much for coming today.
**[08:31] ---**
I'm going to try to get better step by step,
so please continue to support me.
**[08:35] ---**
Ayumu! You're as cute as ever!
**[08:38] ---**
So cute!
**[08:39] ---**
You're making me blush...
**[08:40] ---**
And that's exactly what makes you so cute!
**[08:43] ---**
Grr... Kasumin's not going to lose
when it comes to cuteness!
**[08:49] ---**
This seems hard.
**[08:51] ---**
Oh, right...
**[08:53] ---**
Well, there are instances where
concerts don't have MC sections.
**[08:57] ---**
Would you rather not have one
for this performance?
**[09:00] ---**
No, I want to.
**[09:03] ---**
This time, I'm not going to let things
I can't usually do get in my way.
**[09:09] ---**
Understood.
**[09:15] ---**
This is where you live, Rina-*chan*?
**[09:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:18] ---**
I made some visuals for the concert,
so I wanted to get your opinions.
**[09:29] ---**
Wait, you opened it with your smartphone?
**[09:31] ---**
I've made it so I can do most of
the things around the house with this.
**[09:43] ---**
I guess you're good with tech, too.
**[09:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:47] ---**
Ever since I was little, I was never able to
express myself, so I never had any friends.
**[09:54] ---**
I had to figure out how to play on my own.
**[09:58] ---**
So when I got into high school,
**[10:01] ---**
I never thought that my days would be
filled with so much excitement.
**[10:06] ---**
I never thought I could change so much.
**[10:14] ---**
I'm really grateful for all of you.
**[10:17] ---**
I'll do my best.
**[10:23] ---**
Let's make your concert a huge success!
**[10:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:28] ---**
--One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
**[10:31] ---**
--That's right.
--One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
**[10:33] ---**
I'm not...
**[10:36] ---**
...who I used to be anymore.
**[10:50] ---**
Meow! Twirl!
**[10:52] ---**
Rina Tennoji has a concert coming up!
**[10:56] ---**
The venue will be Tokyo Joypolis.
**[10:58] ---**
I hope all of you can make it! Meow!
**[11:02] ---**
Your dance is getting better, Rinako.
**[11:06] ---**
Is it?
**[11:07] ---**
Yes. Keep up the good work.
**[11:10] ---**
--Okay.
--Ah, Tennoji-*san*!
**[11:12] ---**
You're practicing really hard.
**[11:14] ---**
The concert is this week, right?
**[11:16] ---**
I saw your new video!
**[11:18] ---**
--It was so cute!
--Now that I've changed...
**[11:25] ---**
Would you...
**[11:28] ---**
If you don't mind...
**[11:40] ---**
Tennoji-*san*?
**[11:43] ---**
Never mind.
**[11:46] ---**
Rina-*san*?
**[11:48] ---**
I'm going home for the day.
**[11:56] ---**
I...
**[12:03] ---**
I... can never change.
**[12:10] ---**
Shall we start practice?
**[12:13] ---**
--But Rina-*chan* isn't...
--She's not coming.
**[12:15] ---**
She's not answering her phone.
**[12:19] ---**
But why?! Her performance is tomorrow!
**[12:23] ---**
She was working so hard for it.
**[12:25] ---**
This is Rina-*chan*'s decision.
**[12:29] ---**
Why don't we call it for the day?
**[12:31] ---**
Huh?
**[12:33] ---**
Are you being mopey, Karin-*chan*?
**[12:36] ---**
Why would I be?
**[12:38] ---**
You were trying to make sure you didn't
get any modeling work tomorrow.
**[12:42] ---**
You were looking forward to
Rina-*chan*'s concert tomorrow, huh?
**[12:46] ---**
I-I was just curious as to how it'd turn out.
**[12:50] ---**
Are you sure? Aw, I guess you have
a cute side, too, Karin-*senpai*.
**[12:55] ---**
Hush.
**[12:57] ---**
Eek! Pwease forgwive mwe!
**[13:00] ---**
I'll be back!
**[13:02] ---**
Huh? Ai-*senpai*?
**[13:03] ---**
--Me, too!
--Yu-*chan*!
**[13:05] ---**
Where are you all going?
**[13:07] ---**
To find Rina-*san*!
**[13:08] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:09] ---**
Well, we can't just leave her alone.
**[13:13] ---**
I guess you're all going.
**[13:16] ---**
Are you not?
**[13:18] ---**
Of course I am.

Ai-*san*! I'm not sure if you should just
randomly go shouting "Rinari"...
**[13:41] ---**
Oh, my bad. I heard Rinari's
usually here alone around this time.
**[13:46] ---**
I think I just heard Rina-*chan*'s voice.
**[13:49] ---**
Really?
**[13:51] ---**
Rinari!
**[13:54] ---**
Can we talk for a sec?
**[14:06] ---**
P-Pardon us...
**[14:10] ---**
Rina-*chan*?
**[14:12] ---**
I'm right here.
**[14:16] ---**
Wait, why a cardboard box?
**[14:23] ---**
Rinari.
**[14:25] ---**
I'm sorry for not coming to practice.
**[14:28] ---**
Yeah. You really had us worried.
**[14:33] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:34] ---**
I was just so embarrassed with myself.
**[14:38] ---**
I hadn't changed at all.
**[14:42] ---**
Even though I'm having fun,
people just think I'm mad.
**[14:48] ---**
I just want to be friends
with people, but never could.
**[14:53] ---**
I still don't have any friends in class.
**[14:57] ---**
It's all my fault.
**[14:59] ---**
I know that I need to work on that,
**[15:02] ---**
so I wanted to change
once I got into high school.
**[15:05] ---**
At first, it didn't work out.
**[15:08] ---**
But then I met Ai-*san*.
**[15:13] ---**
And I found out how amazing school idols are.
**[15:18] ---**
I thought I'd try to change one more time.
**[15:23] ---**
I thought even I could change
if I could become a school idol
**[15:27] ---**
who connects with so many people through songs.
**[15:29] ---**
But... and I know you might not
think this is a big deal...
**[15:35] ---**
...but I can't help but worry
about my expression.
**[15:41] ---**
Because that's what's always made me fail.
**[15:47] ---**
I just can't... Just thinking that
people might misunderstand me...
**[15:52] ---**
My chest feels like it's
getting squeezed and it hurts.
**[15:56] ---**
I can't keep this up... At this rate...
**[16:04] ---**
I just... can't connect with everyone.
**[16:10] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:17] ---**
Huh?
**[16:19] ---**
Thank you for telling us how you really feel.
**[16:23] ---**
Yeah, I'm grateful, too.
**[16:29] ---**
I would love to see you perform, Rina-*chan*.
**[16:34] ---**
So what if there are things you still can't do?
**[16:39] ---**
Right. You have so many things
you *can* do, Rina-*san*.
**[16:43] ---**
--That's not...
--Like the fact that you're such a hard worker.
**[16:47] ---**
You don't give up, either.
**[16:49] ---**
You're awesome with tech.
**[16:51] ---**
And you're very kind to animals.
**[16:53] ---**
Hey!
**[16:55] ---**
You just keep saying
awesome things about her! No fair!
**[16:58] ---**
Okay, I'm getting in on this!
**[17:01] ---**
W-Wait...
**[17:04] ---**
This is embarrassing...
**[17:08] ---**
Rinako.
**[17:10] ---**
The best idols are able to turn
their weaknesses into their strengths.
**[17:15] ---**
Yeah, exactly! You just need to make up for
the stuff you can't do with stuff you can do!
**[17:21] ---**
Let's think about this together.
**[17:23] ---**
We still have time.
**[17:30] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:33] ---**
This is the first time we were
able to talk like this, Rina-*san*.
**[17:37] ---**
Oh, yeah. You're right.
**[17:42] ---**
Is it because...
**[17:56] ---**
I figured it out.
**[18:03] ---**
There are so many people here!
**[18:05] ---**
Tennoji-*san* didn't come to school yesterday.
I wonder if she's okay.
**[18:11] ---**
Okay, you're all good!
**[18:20] ---**
You can do this!
**[18:21] ---**
You can do this!
**[18:23] ---**
You can do this!

**[22:08] ---**
*As we slowly run down this path*
**[22:11] ---**
*Something is trying to come to life*
**[22:14] ---**
*I want to tell you, I want to tell you that*
**[22:21] ---**
*The sky that we look up at every day*
**[22:24] ---**
*Has a blue that changes with the seasons*
**[22:28] ---**
*There are no rules, it's telling us*
*to depict it however we please*
**[22:35] ---**
*Let's not be in a hurry!*
**[22:37] ---**
*Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!*
**[22:41] ---**
*Let's all pursue the things that we love*
**[22:50] ---**
*We don't know where we're headed to just yet*
**[22:54] ---**
*Hopefully, there's an exciting*
*future awaiting us*
**[22:57] ---**
*It'd make me happy*
*if we can both smile about that*
**[23:01] ---**
*Thank you again today*
**[23:04] ---**
*Now, let us open up our very own maps*
**[23:07] ---**
*And casually take flight*
**[23:10] ---**
*I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again*
**[23:16] ---**
*I just want to keep dreaming!*
**[23:23] ---**
Wake up, Kanata-*san*!
**[23:26] ---**

**[23:28] ---**
The club's going to start! Kanata-*san*!
