**[01:54] Lanzhu**
Everyone! Thanks for coming today!
**[01:59] Girls**
Lanzhu-chan!
**[02:01] Mia**
We're not stopping here! Hang on tight!
**[02:04] Girls**
Yay!
**[02:06] Shioriko**
My name is Shioriko Mifune and I'm a
first-year at Nijigasaki High School.
**[02:09] Shioriko**
So the School Idol Club can continue to grow,
we're going to be giving our all.
**[02:15] Shioriko**
Please continue to support us.
**[02:20] Crowd**
Yay!
**[02:23] Crowd**
Lanzhu!
**[02:24] Crowd**
Shioriko-chan!
**[02:29] Emma**
Ayumu-chan should be back any minute.
**[02:31] Lanzhu**
Let's welcome her back with a surprise.
**[02:34] Setsuna**
This is a special party popper that
Lanzhu-san and I crafted together!
**[02:38] Kanata**
Ooh... Is that handmade?
**[02:41] Mia**
That's way too big.
**[02:43] Karin**
They're all so excited.
**[02:45] Ai**
Well, it's been forever.
**[02:47] Shizuku**
Well, if two weeks is "forever"...
**[02:51] Yu**
It's Ayumu. She says her plane landed.
**[02:55] Kasumi**
I'm so excited to see
Ayumu-senpai's surprised face.
**[02:59] Kasumi**
It's probably going to be quite the look.
**[03:03] Rina**
Are you watching the
video of the other day?
**[03:06] Shioriko**
Yes. I was concerned about how
everyone reacted to my MC part here.
**[03:10] Kasumi**
That might have been a smidge too
rigid for a concert MC.
**[03:16] Shioriko**
I chose it very carefully,
from a hundred options.
**[03:20] Kasumi**
A hundred?!
**[03:24] Shioriko**
Perhaps I'm not suited to be a school idol.
**[03:28] Kasumi & Rina**
Huh?
**[03:29] Kasumi**
You're thinking way too hard about this.
**[03:32] Yu**
Ayumu said she managed to get out first.
**[03:35] Kasumi**
The time has arrived!
**[03:36] Yu**
Let's go!
**[03:44] Setsuna**
She's here!
**[03:46] Setsuna**
Ready, and...
**[03:49] All**
Welcome home!
**[03:54] Ayumu**
Huh? Huh?!
**[03:56] Shizuku**
H-Huh?
**[03:58] Rina**
That's the wrong person.
**[04:00] Ayumu**
Are you okay?
**[04:01] Setsuna & Lanzhu**
W-We're sorry!
**[04:03] Isla**
No problem.
**[04:05] Yu**
Wait, are you the girl
who sent Ayumu the email?
**[04:09] Ayumu**
This is Isla-chan.
**[04:11] Isla**
Nice to meet you. I came to Japan
because I want to become a school idol.
**[04:16] All**
What?!
***SIGN*** Nijigasaki High School

**[04:27] Yu**
Okay, let's try this again.
**[04:29] All**
Welcome home! And welcome, Isla-san!
**[04:34] Isla**
I'm still studying Japanese,
but it's nice to meet you all.
**[04:39] Lanzhu**
We saw a video of your mini concert in London.
**[04:42] Setsuna**
You were adorable!
**[04:43] Ayumu**
Thanks.
**[04:44] Ai**
It looks like it went great!
**[04:47] Isla**
It was a lot of fun!
**[04:49] Emma**
I poured some black tea.
Let's all have some together.
**[04:52] Kanata**
Come on over. Have a seat, Isla-chan.
**[04:55] Isla**
Thank you very much.
**[04:57] Shioriko**
I heard that there was a short-term exchange
student from London coming here,
**[05:02] Shioriko**
but I didn't know it was someone
who wants to become a school idol.
**[05:05] Yu**
There were two girls in the picture
you sent me, weren't there?
**[05:08] Isla**
Well, I was the only one who
wanted to become a school idol.
**[05:13] Isla**
I'm so glad to meet the members
of the School Idol Club.
**[05:17] Isla**
I won't be here for very long,
but thank you for having me.
**[05:20] Yu**
Glad to have you!
**[05:22] Shioriko**
As the student council president,
I'll do everything I can to support you.
**[05:26] Kasumi**
As the world's cutest ever, Kasumin will
**[05:28] Kasumi**
teach you everything you need
to know to become an idol!
**[05:31] Kasumi**
First, we'll start off with
how to make delicious buns!
**[05:35] Isla**
Ah, buns! I still have a lot to learn,
so please show me the way!
**[05:40] Mia**
Er, I'm pretty sure buns have
nothing to do with this.
**[05:42] Ai**
You're so earnest, Isla-chi!
**[05:45] Lanzhu**
She sort of reminds me of you, Shioriko.
**[05:49] Shioriko**
Does she?
**[05:51] Yu**
But you only get to be here for two weeks?
**[05:54] Yu**
Since you're here, I'd love for you to
experience various things as a school idol.
**[06:00] Setsuna**
Well, leave that to me!
***SIGN*** Isla-chan's

**[06:04] Setsuna**
I'll make full use of my knowledge and
passion and make sure Isla-san is satisfied!
**[06:10] Shizuku**
Oh, I'd like to think of some things, too.
**[06:12] Rina**
Me, too.
**[06:14] Kanata**
Looks like we'll come up with a lot of ideas.
**[06:17] Ayumu**
Okay, let's all have fun with Isla-chan.
**[06:20] All**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Isla-chan's School Idol Experience Project!
**[06:23] Yu**
First, let's go around all
the school idol hot spots.
**[06:27] Yu**
We'll lead you around today.
**[06:30] Isla**
Thank you very much.
**[06:31] Yu**
There are a lot of school idol meccas,
but the one you absolutely have to go to is...
**[06:37] Yu**
Here! Akihabara!
**[06:39] Yu**
There are School Idol Clubs
all around this area.
**[06:43] Yu**
Out of those...
**[06:45] Yu**
UTX is a very famous school for school idols!
**[06:49] Isla**
Wow!
**[06:53] Ayumu**
What's the matter?
***SIGN*** Numazu
**[06:55] ---**
Were you curious about
that? Let's take a look.
***SIGN*** Numazu Fair
***SIGN*** Numazu City

**[06:59] Ayumu**
These are all specialty items from Numazu.

These look yummy.

Then let's buy some!
**[07:06] Ayumu**
Apparently this bread is called Noppopan.
**[07:08] Yu**
This is so yummy.
**[07:10] Rina**
Yeah.
**[07:12] Rina**
Apparently, girls who perform at the
Love Live come here often.
**[07:17] Ai**
Since we're here,
let's pay our respects, too!
**[07:25] Rina**
What did you wish for, Ai-san?
**[07:28] Ai**
That we all get to continue
having fun as school idols!
**[07:34] Rina**
Me, too.

A maid-experience event!
**[07:41] Ayumu**
What? We're here to experience things
as school idols, not maids, right?
**[07:46] Yu**
Well, they're both able to cheer
up people who've come to see them.
**[07:50] Yu**
It might just teach us something.
**[07:53] Rina**
She's got a point.
**[07:55] Isla**
In that case, I'd like to try it out.
**[07:57] Ayumu**
Huh? Oh, fine...
**[08:00] Yu**
Yay!
**[08:01] Yu**
I can't wait!
**[08:03] Ayumu**
You'll be doing this,
too, won't you, Yu-chan?
**[08:05] Yu**
Huh? No, I...
**[08:07] Ai**
Let's go!
**[08:09] Yu**
W-Wait!
**[08:10] Employee**
I'm taking the picture!
**[08:17] Setsuna**
We're next up!
**[08:21] Isla**
Fantastic! Amazing!
**[08:24] Isla**
There's so much merch here that
I've never seen in London!
**[08:27] Shizuku**
They do have quite the lineup.
**[08:29] Setsuna**
The number of school
idols just keeps growing.
**[08:33] Emma**
Everyone, looks like Lanzhu-chan
and the others are ready.
**[08:37] Emma**
While you're here, we thought you should
experience some Japanese culture, too.
**[08:43] Shizuku**
It's here!
**[08:49] Lanzhu**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[08:53] Lanzhu**
This is all ours today!
**[08:55] Kanata**
The food's ready!
**[08:57] Emma**
Just what I've been waiting for!
**[08:59] Setsuna**
When you think of Japanese
houseboats, of course...
**[09:03] Kanata**
You think of a feast.
**[09:13] Karin**
Today, we'll lead you around.
**[09:16] Kasumi**
This place is called Harajuku and is filled
with all sorts of cuteness from Japan!
**[09:21] Karin**
Being fashionable is
important as an idol, too.
**[09:24] Mia**
Apparently, there are a lot of
yummy sweets shops, so let's eat!
**[09:28] Kasumi**
Ooh, good idea.
**[09:30] Shioriko**
No, you two. This is still
part of a school activity.
**[09:35] Shioriko**
No sweets allowed.
**[09:37] Kasumi**
Aw...
**[09:38] Mia**
But Rina and Emma mentioned that
they had bread and tempura!
**[09:42] Kasumi**
No fair!
**[09:45] Isla**
Um... If you're all here,
won't your fans swarm you?
**[09:52] Kasumi**
You're way too worried!
**[09:54] Kasumi**
I mean, even if I am the epitome of cuteness,
**[09:58] Kasumi**
we're really not *that* popular!
**[09:59] Girl A**
Hey, isn't that...
**[10:01] Girl B**
That's Karin Asaka-san, right?
**[10:03] Girl A**
Can we get a picture with you?
**[10:05] Karin**
Yes.
**[10:07] Kasumi**
Grr...
**[10:08] Mia**
I mean, Karin works as a model,
too. Shouldn't be that surprising.
**[10:12] Kasumi**
But, but, I'm still frustrated!
**[10:14] Girl C**
Oh, it's Kasumin!
**[10:16] Girl D**
And Mia Taylor, too!
**[10:18] Girl E**
That's hilarious.
**[10:20] Girl C**
Could I get your autograph?
**[10:22] Girl E**
Could you shake my hand?
**[10:22] Shioriko**
This way, Isla-san.
**[10:24] Isla**
Okay.
**[10:24] Kasumi**
Sure, of course!
**[10:28] Girl F**
Um...
**[10:29] Girl F**
You're Shioriko-san, right?
**[10:31] Girl G**
Your outfit at the concert the other
day was super cute! It was the best!
**[10:35] Shioriko**
Th-Thank you for such valuable input.
**[10:39] Shioriko**
Your comments will help shape our
future school idol activities.
**[10:48] Girls**
Right!
***SIGN*** CHARA
**[10:50] Yu**
How was everything, Isla-chan?
**[10:52] Isla**
I learned so much!
**[10:55] Isla**
But I feel sort of bad that you
all have done so much for me.
**[11:00] Kanata**
What are you talking about?
**[11:02] Ai**
We're super happy!
**[11:04] Ai**
You actually saw us perform and
**[11:06] Ai**
that made you decide that you want
to be a school idol, Isla-chi!
**[11:10] Rina**
So we want to do everything we can.
**[11:12] Isla**
Everyone...
**[11:14] Setsuna**
Not to mention, we're not done yet.
**[11:17] Isla**
Huh?
**[11:18] Emma**
We haven't actually done
any school idol activities.
**[11:22] Ayumu**
For the remaining days, let's practice
every day and hold a mini concert.
**[11:28] Isla**
Me, too?
**[11:30] Yu**
But of course!
**[11:33] Isla**
Yay!
**[11:34] Lanzhu**
What are we going to do about the venue?
**[11:36] Shizuku**
Why don't we ask the Garden Theater?
**[11:40] Shioriko**
I think it might be quite difficult to
perform outside of our school this time.
**[11:45] Ai**
What?! But it'd be way better if we were
performing in front of a ton of people!
**[11:49] Shioriko**
I mentioned this before, but this
is supposed to be a school activity.
**[11:53] Kasumi**
But I heard that Lanzhu-senpai went all
out and welcomed her on a houseboat!
**[11:57] Shioriko**
And I was just thinking about having her
write a formal apology regarding that.
**[12:01] Lanzhu**
Again?!
**[12:07] Karin**
One, two, three, four...
**[12:10] Kanata**
You've got this.
**[12:13] Girls**
So cute!
**[12:15] Kasumi**
It's everyone's idol, Kasumin!
**[12:18] Girls**
Kasumin!
**[12:20] Kasumi**
Yay! Thank you!
**[12:32] Shioriko**
What's the matter?
**[12:36] Ayumu**
I was just thinking this was a bit nostalgic.
**[12:38] Ayumu**
This was where everything began for me.
**[12:42] Shioriko**
This is the place where Setsuna-san held
a performance last spring, isn't it?
**[12:46] Ayumu**
Yup. So much has happened since
I became a school idol...
**[12:51] Ayumu**
but it's the surprise and admiration
I felt in that moment
**[12:54] Ayumu**
that made me who I am right now.
**[12:57] Shioriko**
So it's similar to how I felt
when I saw my sister perform.
**[13:04] Ayumu**
Shioriko-chan, has our venue for
the mini concert been decided?
**[13:08] Shioriko**
The day before Isla-san goes back to London,
we'll be able to use the auditorium.
**[13:13] Ayumu**
I see. That's great.
**[13:16] Ayumu**
When I first met Isla-chan, she actually
reminded me of you, Shioriko-chan.
**[13:24] Ayumu**
She's so earnest and has a
good head on her shoulders.
**[13:27] Ayumu**
She actually probably took care
of me while I was in London.
**[13:32] Shioriko**
We're nothing alike.
**[13:36] Shioriko**
Isla-san is far cuter and much more charming.
**[13:41] Shioriko**
I'm so rigid and I can't seem
to connect with the fans,
**[13:45] Shioriko**
but there's nothing I can
do about my personality.
**[13:49] Shioriko**
This is just who I am.
**[13:53] Ayumu**
That's not true. Don't worry about it.
**[13:56] Shioriko**
I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything strange by it.
**[13:59] Shioriko**
Let's get back to practice.
**[14:01] Ayumu**
Yeah.
**[14:04] Isla**
Yup!
**[14:05] Isla**
They're all nice. It's fun here.
**[14:07] Penelope**
Hey, Isla. I still think...
**[14:10] Isla**
Penelope, it's fine.
I'm glad I came to Japan.
**[14:15] Penelope**
I'm looking forward to
watching the stream tomorrow.
**[14:19] Isla**
Thanks.

**[14:40] All**
Great job, everyone!
**[14:43] Setsuna**
You were lovely, Isla-san!
**[14:45] Ai**
Yup, yup!
**[14:46] Ayumu**
You're going home tomorrow, aren't you?
**[14:48] Yu**
I'm sad that we won't be able to
see you off because of classes,
**[14:51] Yu**
but get plenty of rest tonight.
**[14:53] Isla**
The fact that I got to sing with Ayumu-san,
whom I admire so much, felt like a dream.
**[14:58] Shizuku**
Please do your best back in London.
**[15:02] Isla**
Yes. Thank you very much.

Girls, they're done!

**[15:12] Isla**
They look delicious!
**[15:13] Emma**
Let's eat lots!
**[15:17] Ayumu**
Hello, Shioriko-chan?
**[15:20] Shioriko**
Ayumu-san. What's the matter?
**[15:22] Ayumu**
It's about Isla-chan...
**[15:24] Ayumu**
There's something I've been concerned about
**[15:26] Ayumu**
*ever since I was in London.*
**[15:33] Shioriko**
Really?
**[15:36] Shioriko**
I see.
**[15:38] Shioriko**
Thank you for your time.
**[15:46] Vice President**
What's the matter, President?
**[15:48] Shioriko**
Due to reasons, I will
be taking my leave early!
**[15:50] Vice President**
Huh?
**[15:53] Vice President**
President?
**[15:55] Shioriko**
Ayumu-san, I... We may have been wrong!
**[16:00] Shioriko**
We forgot to tell her
the most important thing!
**[16:04] Ayumu**
But Isla-chan already...
**[16:06] Shioriko**
We still have time!
**[16:07] Ayumu**
What are we going to do?
**[16:09] Shioriko**
*I'll send you a map.*
**[16:14] Mia**
I see.
**[16:15] Mia**
We're all going to have to think
up reasons to leave school early.
**[16:24] Shioriko**
Isla-san!
**[16:26] Isla**
Mifune-san?
**[16:29] Shioriko**
I heard... That your request to start
a School Idol Club was declined.
**[16:36] Shioriko**
Ayumu-san was trying
**[16:38] Shioriko**
to figure out how she could help
even after coming back to Japan.
**[16:42] Shioriko**
I wanted to stay in contact with
you not only through our schools,
**[16:45] Shioriko**
but through the club,
**[16:47] Shioriko**
so I got permission to contact your school.
**[16:50] Shioriko**
And then...
**[16:53] Shioriko**
Were you... possibly thinking of
giving up being a school idol?
**[17:01] Isla**
Yes.
**[17:03] Isla**
This is the end of me being a school idol.
**[17:08] Isla**
My school doesn't have clubs the
same way Japanese schools do,
**[17:14] Isla**
and their understanding of school
idols is completely different.
**[17:18] Isla**
I want to do this with my
friends who support me,
**[17:21] Isla**
so I talked to my school many times.
**[17:25] Isla**
But there was nothing I could do.
**[17:28] Isla**
I guess this is just my limit.
**[17:33] Isla**
After all of you treated me so kindly...
**[17:36] Isla**
I'm sorry.
**[17:40] Shioriko**
Isla-san...
**[17:43] Shioriko**
You actually are very much like me.
**[17:47] Shioriko**
You decide that there are things you just
can't do and you set limits for yourself.
**[17:52] Shioriko**
You still have some time
before your flight, right?
**[17:55] Shioriko**
Could you come with me for a little while?
**[17:59] Isla**
What's this place?
**[18:01] Shioriko**
Ayumu-san, who inspired you,
got her start right here.
**[18:06] Shizuku**
This was also the place
where we started our club again.
**[18:10] Isla**
Huh?
**[18:11] Setsuna**
At first, the club didn't go well at all.
**[18:16] Setsuna**
All because I was selfish...
**[18:18] Kanata**
Come on, now. Stop worrying about the past.
**[18:22] Kasumi**
That's right.
**[18:23] Kasumi**
We were all a bit selfish, after all.
**[18:26] Emma**
But that's when Ayumu-chan and Yu-chan
fell in love with school idols.
**[18:32] Karin**
And then it all began again.
**[18:34] Mia**
I heard what's going on.
**[18:36] Lanzhu**
There are always some things that
just don't go how you planned.
**[18:40] Ayumu**
I had trouble on my own, too.
**[18:43] Rina**
Yeah.
**[18:44] Yu**
But we weren't alone.
**[18:47] Ayumu**
And you're not alone either,
are you, Isla-chan?
**[18:55] Isla**
Yes, you're right. I also
**[18:59] Isla**
have someone who'll do this with me.
**[19:02] Shioriko**
We're here for you, too.
**[19:05] Isla**
Right...
**[19:07] Shioriko**
I know that I sounded like I
had everything figured out,
**[19:10] Shioriko**
but the truth is I've been
concerned this whole time.
**[19:13] Shioriko**
I was wondering how I could
remedy my rigid personality.
**[19:17] Lanzhu**
What are you talking about?
**[19:19] Mia**
I wouldn't call a student council
president who's skipping class rigid.
**[19:22] Shioriko**
B-But this is...
**[19:24] Ayumu**
Shioriko-chan, you're also
**[19:26] Ayumu**
a lovely school idol who's always
working hard for others.
**[19:32] Shioriko**
Thank you... very much.
**[19:35] Shioriko**
I've decided that I'm going to
stop setting limits for myself.
**[19:48] Shioriko**
So...
**[19:50] Shioriko**
Let's have as much fun as possible!
**[22:18] Isla**
Penelope?
**[22:19] Penelope**
Hey, Isla. I still think...
**[22:22] Isla**
Let's do this together!
**[22:24] Isla**
I can do this because you're here for me!
**[22:29] Penelope**
For sure!
**[22:30] Isla**
Thanks!
**[22:35] Lanzhu**
Looks like everything went well.
**[22:37] Shioriko**
Thank you very much, everyone.
**[22:40] Kanata**
What are you going to do
after this, President?
**[22:43] Shioriko**
Since we're all here,
let's see her off to the airport.
**[22:47] Mia**
Ah, you actually get it.
**[22:49] Shioriko**
Let's all write formal
apologies another time.
**[22:52] Lanzhu**
What? All of us?
**[22:53] Kasumi**
Couldn't you do something about that with
your student council president powers?
**[22:57] Shioriko**
I have no such powers.
**[22:59] Shioriko**
And don't forget the apology
for the houseboat, Lanzhu.
**[23:03] Lanzhu**
What?!
**[23:04] Lanzhu**
No way!
**[24:41] Lanzhu**
Aiyah! There's just no end to this!
**[24:45] Lanzhu**
Shioriko, help me!
**[24:47] Shioriko**
You need to take this seriously.
**[24:50] Shioriko**
You have what it takes to write
formal apologies, Lanzhu.
**[24:53] Lanzhu**
What?
**[24:55] Shioriko**
I'm kidding.
**[24:56] Lanzhu**
Jeez...
**[24:59] Mia**
Shioriko's adorable.
**[25:01] Kasumi**
Though Shioko is cute when she's cold, too.
**[25:04] Yu**
Look, everyone!
**[25:06] Yu**
Looks like Isla-chan upped a video!
**[25:12] Isla**
Hi! My name is Isla.
**[25:15] Isla**
I'm not in a school club,
**[25:16] Isla**
but I'm going to be a school idol
in London from today.
**[25:22] Shioriko**
I guess we can't just sit around either.
**[25:25] Ayumu**
Yup!
