[00:01] ---
This is a very important place that embraced me,
despite how weak I really am.
[00:08] ---
But I need more...
[00:11] ---
More!
[00:15] ---
Karin-senpai!
[00:17] ---
"Nijigasaki Bookstore"
[00:18] ---
U-Um... Can we get your autograph?
[00:22] ---
Sure.
[00:24] ---
"Karin Asaka"
[00:24] ---
Here you go.
[00:26] ---
Thank you so much!
[00:28] ---
If you have an upcoming concert,
I'll definitely be there!
[00:33] ---
Ah, so it's because I'm a school idol
rather than a model.
[00:40] ---
What's wrong?
[00:41] ---
Some other students almost
spotted me as I was changing...
[00:47] ---
Does it really matter if people find out that
you're the student council president?
[00:50] ---
I can't let that happen!
[00:52] ---
Not to mention,
[00:54] ---
I've been thinking it's sort of cool
for a school idol not to
[00:57] ---
reveal their true identity because
they're like some superhero.
[01:01] ---
You think so?
[01:09] ---
Looks like the club's popularity
is rising pretty well.
[01:16] ---
Everyone! There's a cute picture of me,
so I wanted to share.
[01:24] ---
Squee.
[01:25] ---
Oh, it is cute.
[01:28] ---
Right? Please praise me more.
[01:31] ---
I was talking about the pandas.
[01:32] ---
Look at Kasumin, too, please!
[01:35] ---
I feel like a lot of random people
say hi to me now.
[01:41] ---
I guess it's happening to all of us.
[01:43] ---
At first, no one even knew about
the School Idol Club,
[01:47] ---
but perhaps things have changed due to
the PVs and Rina-san's concert.
[01:50] ---
Well, we've all been working hard.
[01:52] ---
Yeah. Things are going great.
[01:55] ---
Because things are going so well,
we should think about the future.
[02:00] ---
Though it's gradual, I believe that
we're all growing as solo idols.
[02:06] ---
But as the School Idol Club as a whole,
we haven't accomplished anything yet.
[02:12] ---
Our concert...
[02:14] ---
We talked about that
when we started the club back up.
[02:18] ---
Maybe we could pull it off now.
[02:20] ---
You know, let's talk about it together again.
[02:23] ---
Yeah!
[02:29] ---
What's wrong?
[02:30] ---
It's Haruka-chan.
[02:35] ---
I hope I'm not interrupting.
[02:37] ---
You're welcome anytime!
[02:41] ---
What brings you here today?
[02:42] ---
Well...
[02:45] ---
We have something important to talk about.
[02:47] ---
Who are you?
[02:49] ---
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[02:51] ---
I am a member of the
Touou Academy School Idol Club
[02:53] ---
and my name is Himeno Ayanokoji.
[02:57] ---
Touou...
[02:59] ---
This may sound rather sudden,
[03:00] ---
but esteemed members of
the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club,
[03:05] ---
would you like to perform
in a concert with us?
[03:10] ---
What?!
[03:14] ---
Let's go to the future!
Rainbow melodies
[03:23] ---
"Nijigasaki High School Idol Club"
"Love Live!"
[03:31] ---
The rain clears up and reveals blue skies
[03:33] ---
The winds of hope blow (Blowing)
[03:36] ---
We can feel something coming
and we take our very first step
[03:41] ---
The world is sparkling
[03:44] ---
And our hearts start to
well up with (Feelings)
[03:47] ---
"We want to start running right now!!"
(Move on! Move on!)
[03:52] ---
The tiny melodies blend together (Our Colors)
[03:57] ---
Let's paint this arch, now
[03:59] ---
It resonates throughout the city
(Reaching for far blue sky!)
[04:03] ---
Let's sing together!
[04:05] ---
My feelings are overflowing,
there's no stopping them now
[04:11] ---
Rainbow-colored passions!!
[04:13] ---
Colors painted in courage
[04:16] ---
Let's create a bridge to the future
[04:18] ---
Beyond the endless sky
[04:22] ---
Resounding sympathy
[04:24] ---
Miracles are blooming
[04:26] ---
--Let's go! Shine towards
the future, melodies
[04:30] ---
--Yes, I know I'm not alone
--Let's go! Shine towards the future, melodies
[04:32] ---
You're all always by my side
[04:35] ---
So let's connect our dreams together
[04:44] ---
"Episode 9: Friends but Rivals"
[04:45] ---
Diver Fes?
[04:46] ---
"About DIVER FES"
[04:47] ---
That's the music event held
at Odaiba every year, isn't it?
[04:51] ---
Yes. Musicians from
various genres participate in it.
[04:55] ---
This year, Touou Academy
and Shinonome Academy
[04:57] ---
have been invited to be in
the school idol category.
[05:01] ---
So I talked to Haruka-san,
[05:02] ---
and we had them include your school, as well.
[05:07] ---
Haruka-chan! Thank you so much!
[05:12] ---
But why, Ayanokoji-san?
[05:16] ---
It's because I heard your song
at the drama festival the other day.
[05:21] ---
I wanted to see what kind of concert
all of you would put on.
[05:26] ---
I've especially seen Karin Asaka-san
in a lot of magazines.
[05:30] ---
Being a popular magazine model and being
a school idol is rather charming, isn't it?
[05:38] ---
Th-Th-There'll be a lot of
people at this, won't there?
[05:42] ---
Yes. Around 3,000 people.
[05:45] ---
Three thousand... Eek!
[05:49] ---
Let's do it! We'll rarely have a chance
to perform at a concert this big again!
[05:55] ---
But there's just one problem.
[05:58] ---
School idols will only be able to
perform three songs total.
[06:04] ---
Since Shinonome and Touou
are both groups, that won't be an issue,
[06:08] ---
but everyone from Nijigasaki are solo idols.
[06:12] ---
There're nine... so nine songs?
[06:15] ---
That's why we hesitated about inviting you.
[06:19] ---
But it's a nice opportunity for
a brand new club, isn't it?
[06:25] ---
Well...
[06:26] ---
Yes, but...
[06:34] ---
H-How about we do a medley?
[06:37] ---
That'd count as one song, right?
[06:39] ---
But with nine of us,
it'd easily be over ten minutes.
[06:46] ---
What should we do?
[06:48] ---
There's no point in dwelling on it.
[06:50] ---
Only one of us will be able to
perform on that stage.
[06:55] ---
Let's decide who that's going to be.
[07:09] ---
H-How about we do a lottery?
[07:12] ---
Th-That's probably a good idea.
[07:14] ---
No one can make a choice
so we're resorting to luck?
[07:18] ---
You're really okay with that?
[07:19] ---
Well, we're--
[07:20] ---
I know conflict can be scary,
[07:23] ---
but if we're just going to
hold back, there's no point.
[07:27] ---
Can you really say that
we grew as solo idols then?
[07:33] ---
Haruka-chan's one thing,
[07:35] ---
but I doubt Ayanokoji-san just invited us
out of the kindness of her heart.
[07:40] ---
Huh?
[07:40] ---
Really?
[07:43] ---
Anyway, this concert is
going to test our club.
[07:48] ---
So we need to choose the member
who can face that head on.
[07:57] ---
I'm going home for today.
[08:04] ---
Karin-chan.
[08:14] ---
Great job, everyone.
[08:24] ---
Did I go the wrong way again somewhere?
[08:35] ---
What?
[08:43] ---
Maybe I'll have Emma help me...
[08:48] ---
Huh?
[08:51] ---
Karin-san...
[08:53] ---
Are you shopping?
[08:54] ---
No...
[08:55] ---
Could it be...
[08:57] ---
...that you like stuff like this, too?!
[08:59] ---
Huh?
[09:05] ---
Here it is! I'm going to go buy this!
[09:14] ---
This is...
[09:18] ---
Apparently, they started carrying
school idol merchandise.
[09:22] ---
So we had Setsuna-chan bring us here.
[09:26] ---
Ah...
[09:29] ---
They have stuff from
Shinonome and Touou, too!
[09:31] ---
It's Ayanokoji-san. Wow!
[09:35] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting!
[09:36] ---
Hey, they don't have merchandise of you?
[09:39] ---
Huh?! Of course not!
[09:42] ---
Though that is a bit disappointing.
[09:45] ---
I hope they'll have us
lined up here someday, too.
[09:52] ---
I should get going.
[09:54] ---
You had plans?
[09:56] ---
Sorry to distract you.
[09:58] ---
It's fine. I just hope I make it in time.
[10:03] ---
Is this place far from here?
[10:05] ---
It shouldn't be, but the directions
are a bit confusing.
[10:10] ---
Do you know where this is?
[10:12] ---
"Dance School G-Rabby"
[10:13] ---
Dance school?
[10:20] ---
You're already there!
[10:27] ---
You didn't realize it?
[10:28] ---
I can't believe you couldn't
tell from the map.
[10:31] ---
Do you happen to be bad with directions?
[10:33] ---
S-So what if I am?
[10:35] ---
It's surprising, but so cute.
[10:40] ---
So you're learning dance?
[10:42] ---
I just happened to meet
a teacher from here at work.
[10:45] ---
Way to go, Karin-san!
[10:47] ---
Indeed. I admire the effort
you're secretly putting in.
[10:53] ---
Well, if I don't, I won't be able to
catch up to my rivals.
[10:59] ---
I'm talking about all of you.
[11:01] ---
I just... can't let my guard down.
[11:05] ---
I do want to have fun
since I joined this club...
[11:10] ---
But I may have been a bit harsh yesterday.
[11:15] ---
I'm sorry.
[11:16] ---
Please don't apologize!
[11:19] ---
I think you were right, Karin-san.
[11:21] ---
We are solo idols after all.
[11:23] ---
Yes. If we aren't disciplined,
we won't be able to grow.
[11:28] ---
And yet, I didn't want to trouble
all of you again, so I hesitated.
[11:34] ---
I think everyone else did, too.
[11:38] ---
Thank you for telling us the truth.
[11:45] ---
You're so earnest.
[11:48] ---
--You are, too, Karin-san.
--Huh?
[11:50] ---
Despite what you say,
you like taking care of everyone.
[11:53] ---
I think you're right.
[11:54] ---
You think so?
[11:56] ---
Do you have a little more time?
[11:59] ---
Yes...
[12:00] ---
Why don't we discuss who should
stand on the Diver Fes stage?
[12:05] ---
Huh?
[12:06] ---
Wait, we're deciding right now?
[12:07] ---
Yes. Because I'm sure that Karin-san's
true feelings have reached everyone.
[12:12] ---
I think this is necessary for us
as a club to take the next step.
[12:18] ---
What do you think?
[12:21] ---
I think it's a good idea.
[12:25] ---
Then I'll go contact everyone else.
[12:29] ---
"Setsuna: Everyone!!"
[12:35] ---
We're solo idols and
friends, but we're rivals.
[12:39] ---
That's our...
[12:48] ---
"DIVER Curry" "Skewers"
[12:56] ---
Did you see the crowd?!
There're so many people out there!
[12:59] ---
I did! It's amazing!
[13:01] ---
I really wish I could've performed!
[13:04] ---
Well, we all wanted to.
[13:07] ---
Though we all ended up
voting for someone else.
[13:11] ---
And well, there's only
one person for this job.
[13:17] ---
It looks perfect on you.
[13:19] ---
How does it fit?
[13:21] ---
It's perfect.
[13:25] ---
Thank goodness. I had a feeling
it'd look great on you.
[13:29] ---
I'm so excited!
[13:31] ---
We still have a while before
the school idols perform, right?
[13:34] ---
Yes. Even if things go as scheduled,
it won't be until evening.
[13:38] ---
In that case, I think I'm gonna
go look around the venue a bit more.
[13:42] ---
An opportunity like this
doesn't come up often.
[13:44] ---
I'll go with you.
[13:49] ---
Wow, there really are a lot of people!
[13:54] ---
Dance music, rock, pop...
and then school idols.
[13:59] ---
So many genres of music here!
[14:03] ---
I guess school idols are appearing, too.
[14:05] ---
Nijigasaki High School?
Have you heard of them?
[14:07] ---
No, I haven't.
[14:09] ---
More importantly, Mirage is performing!
[14:11] ---
No way!
[14:13] ---
That shouldn't be a surprise.
The fans here love all kinds of music.
[14:21] ---
Karin-san's going to sing
in a place like this...
[14:27] ---
"Shinonome Academy"
"Touou Academy"
"Nijigasaki High School"
[14:31] ---
So you're going to perform, Asaka-san?
[14:34] ---
Yes.
[14:35] ---
I'll put on the best performance I can
so that I don't embarrass the school.
[14:41] ---
Not as a model,
but as the school idol Karin Asaka.
[14:48] ---
Not all of the people here
are interested in school idols.
[14:54] ---
We're very much at a disadvantage.
[14:58] ---
Even then, I'd like them to know
what makes school idols so charming.
[15:03] ---
I truly admire the fact that you're going to
face them head on by yourself.
[15:09] ---
Let's both do our best.
[15:12] ---
Let us reconvene later.
[15:34] ---
Hello! We're the Shinonome Academy
School Idol Club!
[15:38] ---
The school idol block is about to begin!
[15:41] ---
Let's all have fun together!
[15:46] ---
Karin-san is late.
[15:48] ---
She's up soon...
[15:51] ---
And she left her smartphone.
[15:55] ---
Wait, did she get lost?!
[15:56] ---
Huh? Oh, come on.
She's not a kid. There's no way...
[16:00] ---
Actually...
[16:01] ---
Seriously?!
[16:02] ---
We have to find her!
[16:13] ---
Karin-chan!
[16:19] ---
What's the matter?
[16:24] ---
Do you not feel well?
[16:29] ---
I'm just scared, that's all.
[16:33] ---
How pathetic, am I right?
[16:36] ---
I just happen to be feeling the pressure now.
[16:40] ---
Honestly, this is so pathetic.
[16:44] ---
After I had the nerve to say what I said...
[16:49] ---
I'm sorry.
[16:59] ---
That's not true.
[17:06] ---
You'll be okay, Karin-chan.
[17:09] ---
But at this rate...
[17:12] ---
You'll be okay.
[17:16] ---
You have us.
[17:20] ---
Exactly. We may be solo idols,
[17:23] ---
but you're not all alone.
[17:29] ---
Why are you all so nice?
[17:34] ---
Isn't it obvious?
You shouldn't have to ask that.
[17:53] ---
Yeah, I'm all right.
[17:55] ---
Karin-senpai!
[17:58] ---
Come on, high five!
I'll give you some of my energy.
[18:21] ---
Do great out there!
[18:27] ---
I'm going.
[18:32] ---
Where are you going, Yu-chan?
[18:34] ---
I want to cheer on Karin-san properly!
[19:03] ---
We're friends, but also rivals.
[19:08] ---
We're rivals...
[19:11] ---
...but they're my precious friends!
[19:18] ---
Just like a Rainbow Colors
[19:27] ---
The twinkling from the constellations
[19:31] ---
Spill down from the sky
[19:34] ---
Even though I close my eyes, it's so bright
[19:38] ---
They shine, they race
across so passionately
[19:42] ---
If I were alone
[19:44] ---
I never would've known
[19:46] ---
Weakness, pain, gloominess, all of it
[19:50] ---
I love when you smile and say you love me
[19:56] ---
Black or white
[19:59] ---
Yes or No
[20:00] ---
If it's never that simple
[20:04] ---
No one actually knows the answer
[20:08] ---
Let's create a future just as we want it
[20:13] ---
A vivid world
[20:16] ---
Please tell me
[20:17] ---
Why my heart starts racing
[20:20] ---
When we're together
[20:21] ---
My choice as my new self
[20:25] ---
Will add color to my tomorrow
[20:29] ---
Find a way
[20:31] ---
If I'm with you
[20:32] ---
It's not so bad being lost
[20:36] ---
There is no one right answer or shine
[20:42] ---
Just like a Rainbow Colors...
[21:00] ---
That was lovely.
[21:01] ---
Aren't you glad you got to
see Karin-san perform?
[21:05] ---
You've been a huge fan ever since
she debuted as a model, huh?
[21:09] ---
Oh, Misaki-san! Stop teasing me!
[21:16] ---
Hey, she's totally cool.
[21:18] ---
Yeah! I'd never seen them before,
but I think I like them!
[21:47] ---
As we slowly run down this path
[21:50] ---
Something is trying to come to life
[21:54] ---
I want to tell you, I want to tell you that
[22:01] ---
The sky that we look up at every day
[22:04] ---
Has a blue that changes with the seasons
[22:08] ---
There are no rules, it's telling us
to depict it however we please
[22:14] ---
Let's not be in a hurry!
[22:17] ---
Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!
[22:21] ---
Let's all pursue the things that we love
[22:30] ---
We don't know where we're headed to just yet
[22:33] ---
Hopefully, there's an exciting
future awaiting us
[22:37] ---
It'd make me happy
if we can both smile about that
[22:41] ---
Thank you again today
[22:44] ---
Now, let us open up our very own maps
[22:47] ---
And casually take flight
[22:50] ---
I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again
[22:55] ---
I just want to keep dreaming!
[23:03] ---
I really, really wanted to
perform at Diver Fes!
[23:07] ---
Me, too!
[23:09] ---
Karin was just gleaming
up on that stage. I was so jealous!
[23:13] ---
Well, there's still next time.
[23:16] ---
Our concert, remember?
[23:21] ---
Yeah!
[23:22] ---
Let's do it!
[23:23] ---
Yeah!
[23:25] ---
In that case, since we're on the subject,
let's hold a training camp!
[23:29] ---
Ooh, sounds fun!
[23:31] ---
Yeah, let's do it!
