**[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] ---**

**[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!

Wow!

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.

Hey, they talk about the upcoming

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.

It's just too fluffy.

Here, have some, Shizuko!

It's good.

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!

**[12:36] ---**
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] ---**

so you better win that second audition!

passed the audition again.

In a certain theater in a certain city,

there was a girl.

And to have as many people

not allowed to perform?

I won't be able to let you
stand on our stage anymore.

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.
