[00:02] ---
In a certain theater in a certain city,
[00:05] ---
there was a girl.
[00:08] ---
Her dream was to become
the best singer in town.
[00:13] ---
And to have as many people
hear her song as possible.
[00:18] ---
I want to be your ideal heroine.
[00:23] ---
That's impossible.
[00:25] ---
My song can't reach anyone.
[00:29] ---
You understand that, don't you?
[00:32] ---
Because you're me.
[00:41] ---
You look adorable, Ayumu!
[00:45] ---
You look gorgeous, Karin-san!
[00:47] ---
Yay!
[00:48] ---
You're the best, Ai-chan!
[00:50] ---
You're all doing amazing!
[00:53] ---
Yes, hello! It's Kasumin's turn next!
[00:59] ---
Next, please tell me what kind of school idol
you strive to be, Osaka-san.
[01:05] ---
I'd like to play a school idol
that's loved by all.
[01:10] ---
Could you clarify that a bit?
[01:13] ---
I try to imagine everyone's
ideal school idol and then become her.
[01:18] ---
Does that mean that you're playing the role
of a school idol loved by all as we speak?
[01:25] ---
Yes.
[01:26] ---
Oh, I see.
[01:28] ---
That sounds rather fitting
since you're in the Drama Club.
[01:34] ---
By the way, I heard our Drama Club is doing
a joint drama festival with Touou Academy.
[01:40] ---
Yes. Touou Academy and Nijigasaki
will each be doing their own programs.
[01:46] ---
I heard that you were chosen for the
lead role of the Nijigasaki performance.
[01:51] ---
Could we get a comment for all of
the loyal readers of the school paper?
[01:56] ---
I'm going to do my best in this role,
so please come see the show.
[02:01] ---
"Drama Club"
[02:04] ---
I-I'm being replaced?
[02:06] ---
This role just wasn't for you, Shizuku.
[02:11] ---
If there's something I can work on,
please tell me!
[02:13] ---
I promise to do my best!
[02:16] ---
I wanted someone who could completely
put themselves out there for this role.
[02:20] ---
Put myself out there?
[02:23] ---
The role is a singer,
[02:25] ---
so I thought you'd be perfect
since you're a school idol.
[02:31] ---
Please give me another chance!

I want everyone to hear my song.

The emotions I put in my song are

[04:24] ---
Your first interview is now
in the school paper!
[04:29] ---
Wow!
[04:30] ---
We all look awesome!
[04:33] ---
Apparently, we're pretty popular.
[04:35] ---
Hopefully, they'll interview us again.
[04:38] ---
Why don't we have them cover
one of our practices next time?
[04:43] ---
That's a great idea, Setsuna-san!
[04:46] ---
Oh, good. Everything's the same as usual.
[04:50] ---
Hey, they talk about the upcoming
Drama Club performance, too.

[04:53] ---
Ooh, let me see!
[04:57] ---
It's so amazing you're playing the lead role!
[05:01] ---
I'm definitely going to go see it.
[05:04] ---
Right. Thank you very much.
[05:10] ---
There's something wrong with Shizuku-chan?
[05:13] ---
Yeah. She seems gloomier than usual.
[05:21] ---
I guess she might've seemed
that way... Or maybe not.
[05:25] ---
Come to think of it, I heard
she got replaced as the lead role.
[05:30] ---
Wait, what?!
[05:32] ---
Someone from the Drama Club mentioned that.
[05:34] ---
There's apparently going to be
another audition.
[05:51] ---
My song won't reach anyone.
[05:54] ---
Do you remember when we were little?
[05:58] ---
We were different from the others.
[06:01] ---
It may seem trivial, but
I was always anxious.
[06:07] ---
What would I do if someone
thought I was weird?
[06:10] ---
If they disliked me?
[06:13] ---
I was always so scared.
[06:17] ---
That's why I started hiding my true self.
[06:21] ---
And then... I felt so much better.
[06:26] ---
Ever since that day, I've been living a lie.
[06:30] ---
There's no way that a song by someone
lying to herself is going to reach anyone.
[06:38] ---
You know I'm right.
[06:48] ---
Shizuko captured!

All right, off we go!

Woo.

Wh-What?!

So this is... the legendary...

But you never beat it.
[07:26] ---
You just have to keep eating. Now, charge!
[07:31] ---
Thanks for the food.
[07:36] ---
It's so good!
[07:37] ---
It's just too fluffy.
[07:42] ---
Here, have some, Shizuko!
[07:49] ---
It's good.
[07:51] ---
Right?
[07:52] ---
Happy.
[07:53] ---
Let's go! We're gonna devour the whole thing!
[08:01] ---
Rina-chan Board, I'm about to burst.
[08:04] ---
My first victory... Yay!
[08:07] ---
We did it.
[08:08] ---
Yay.
[08:10] ---
So cute.
[08:13] ---
Ooh, this is...
[08:16] ---
She looks just like my Ophelia.
[08:20] ---
I'm taking it.
[08:21] ---
Okay.
[08:27] ---
What should I have?
Cute little Kasumin just doesn't know!
[08:39] ---
Do you like old movies?
[08:42] ---
Did you start acting because
you watched movies like this?
[08:50] ---
Maybe... That's part of it.
[08:54] ---
I feel like I'm the most
outgoing when I'm acting.
[08:59] ---
I end up not caring how others feel about me.
[09:03] ---
And I can forget the fact that
I'm Shizuku Osaka.
[09:11] ---
Do you not like yourself?
[09:14] ---
S-Sorry. I'm sure this sounds weird.
[09:17] ---
Just forget it.
[09:18] ---
Hey! You look all gloomy again.
[09:21] ---
You need to smile, Shizuko! Te-he!
[09:25] ---
K-Kasumi-san.
[09:27] ---
Let's forget all the bad things today
and have a blast!
[09:30] ---
Once you cheer up, you can audition again
for the lead role and win it back!
[09:37] ---
So you knew...
[09:40] ---
Yeah.
[09:41] ---
It's not like you need to keep it a secret.
[09:45] ---
We're rooting for you.
[09:48] ---
And the least we can do
if you're depressed is listen...
[09:52] ---
I'm fine!
[09:54] ---
Don't worry. I'm fine.
[09:58] ---
Thank you both!
[10:00] ---
Shizuku-chan...
[10:02] ---
I should head home now. See you later!
[10:19] ---
So you are scared... to
reveal your true self.
[10:24] ---
Well...
[10:25] ---
You don't want them to hate you?
[10:27] ---
That's it, isn't it?
[10:29] ---
I want to sing.
[10:32] ---
I want to sing a song that'll
reach everyone's hearts.
[10:36] ---
And to do that, you need to
put yourself out there.
[10:42] ---
Accept me.
[10:48] ---
I can't... I can't put myself out there.
[10:54] ---
I hate that I'm like this.
[10:59] ---
Did you get a reply?
[11:02] ---
She said she has to practice for the play.
[11:04] ---
That's too bad.
[11:07] ---
Ugh, and I wanted to eat lunch with her.
[11:13] ---
I never knew that Shizuko was so stubborn.
[11:20] ---
I wonder what's going on with her.
[11:24] ---
I'm sure this Shizuku-chan
is Shizuku-chan, too.
[11:28] ---
Huh?
[11:29] ---
I was sort of like that, so I understand.
[11:33] ---
Not liking yourself.
[11:38] ---
In my case, Ai-san pulled me away from that.
[11:44] ---
And then all of you cheered me up.
[11:47] ---
That's why... I was able to do my concert.
[11:51] ---
I have Ai-san.
[11:55] ---
And Shizuku-chan needs...
[11:58] ---
I'm gonna go!
[12:03] ---
Fight!
[12:05] ---
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.

Tom threw Tim three thumbtacks.
[12:25] ---
I thought I thought of
thinking of thanking you...
[12:28] ---
Found you.
[12:30] ---
Kasumi-san?
[12:36] ---
Wh-What brings you here?
[12:38] ---
What brings me here? Well...
[12:43] ---
We parted really awkwardly yesterday.
[12:47] ---
So I wanted to see how you were doing.
[12:52] ---
Sorry to make you worry.
[12:54] ---
But I'm really okay.
[12:57] ---
The audition will be--
[13:00] ---
Stare...
[13:05] ---
Your eyes are a little puffy.
[13:10] ---
I totally get that you're
the stubborn type now.
[13:15] ---
But...
[13:19] ---
Don't try to frantically hide
while making that face!
[13:23] ---
I thought we were friends!
[13:32] ---
This role...
[13:34] ---
I was told I need to put myself out there.
[13:37] ---
But I can't do that.
[13:42] ---
I've always...
[13:44] ---
...liked old movies and novels
ever since I was little.
[13:50] ---
But I was the only kid like that...
so it made me anxious.
[13:56] ---
Every time someone looked at me weird,
[13:59] ---
I thought they were going to hate me.
[14:03] ---
Eventually, I got scared of anyone
seeing me as different in any way.
[14:10] ---
That's why I started acting.
[14:13] ---
I wanted to act out the good girl
that everyone liked.
[14:17] ---
Then... I felt a little better.
[14:22] ---
Shizuko...
[14:25] ---
I just can't put myself out there.
[14:31] ---
If that's necessary to become
an actor a school idol...
[14:36] ---
...that means I... can't be either!
[14:42] ---
I can't express myself.
[14:44] ---
I'm scared of... people hating me.
[14:50] ---
"Rain in the Wastelands"
[14:57] ---
How can you say...
[15:00] ---
...something so naive?!
[15:07] ---
Who cares if people might dislike you?
[15:10] ---
Just look at how cute I am!
[15:14] ---
Even then, there are some people
who won't compliment me!
[15:16] ---
And you've never called me cute, either!
[15:21] ---
So what do you think about me?
[15:23] ---
Huh? I, uh...
[15:26] ---
Am I cute? Am I not cute?!
[15:30] ---
I-I think you're probably cute...
[15:33] ---
See! You said it just fine!
[15:36] ---
Now let's talk about you!
[15:38] ---
The fact that you're surprisingly
stubborn and obstinate...
[15:42] ---
And the fact that you're not actually
that confident... All of that!
[15:45] ---
None of those are compliments.
[15:47] ---
There might be people
who say they don't like you...
[15:53] ---
...but I love everything
about you, Shizuku Osaka!
[15:59] ---
So you don't have to worry...
[16:06] ---
I'm going home!
[16:07] ---
Hey, wait.
[16:09] ---
You made me say all that,
so you better win that second audition!

Now I'm starting to get nervous.

It's starting.
[17:28] ---
You've got this, Shizuko.
[17:38] ---
In a certain theater in a certain city,
[17:41] ---
there was a girl.
[17:44] ---
Her dream was to become
the best singer in town.
[17:48] ---
And to have as many people
hear her song as possible.
[17:53] ---
I want to be your ideal heroine.
[17:58] ---
Please wait! Why am I the only one
not allowed to perform?
[18:03] ---
Sorry, but your songs aren't that popular.
[18:07] ---
I won't be able to let you
stand on our stage anymore.
[18:12] ---
Hey, wait! Let's ask the owner
to give you one more chance!
[18:18] ---
It's over!
[18:25] ---
Are you that scared...
[18:29] ---
...to show your true self?
[18:32] ---
Wait!
[18:34] ---
Even then...
[18:36] ---
...I want to sing.
[18:50] ---
I'd been ignoring you this whole time.
[18:54] ---
But I want to sing.
I'm sure that feeling is real.
[19:00] ---
I'm sorry about everything.
[19:06] ---
This is me. The true me
that I cannot escape from.
[19:12] ---
People may hate you.
[19:14] ---
But there were people who said they loved me.
[19:18] ---
Then... I'll just have to
start over again on this small stage.
[19:39] ---
The thunder echoes in my heart
[19:41] ---
And all of the emotions I've
kept trapped inside start to spill out
[19:45] ---
I'll never lose sight
[19:48] ---
Of my own feelings again
[19:50] ---
The raindrops that fall down from the sky
[19:56] ---
Drip, drip down my cheeks
[20:02] ---
And before I knew it
[20:05] ---
It gently washes away
[20:08] ---
The mask that was covering my heart
[20:15] ---
There was something in my heart
[20:21] ---
That refused to change
[20:23] ---
And I finally realized it
[20:27] ---
I powerfully awaken
[20:30] ---
Let's go run barefoot
[20:34] ---
I won't run away from myself anymore
[20:39] ---
When I'm able to accept and embrace
[20:43] ---
All of my worries and fears
[20:46] ---
I'll be able to journey
into that blindingly bright sky
[21:29] ---

[21:30] ---

[21:32] ---
This was truly a performance that only
the school idol Shizuku Osaka-san
[21:35] ---
could have pulled off!
[21:37] ---
