[00:04] ---
Well then, Maiko-chan,
shall we go home together?
[00:09] ---
Okay!
[00:12] ---
This is Big Sister...
[00:14] ---
If I try hard enough,
maybe I can meet her someday.
[00:35] ---
Sheesh, they should hurry and make up.
[02:09] ---
I'm home.
[02:11] ---
You're late.
[02:13] ---
I was cooking, doing laundry
and cleaning over there.
[02:19] ---
That's it?
[02:21] ---
For today, my honest feelings are that
you guys should hurry and make up.
[02:27] ---
I see...
[02:29] ---
I'm turning in.
[02:30] ---
Eh? No rewards for going over
to check on how she was doing?
[02:34] ---
I have an early morning meeting
to prepare for the gig tomorrow.
[02:38] ---
SEPTEMBER 8th
[02:46] ---
Oh no, I left my window open.
[02:52] ---
Care to try being dead, too?
[02:56] ---
No, that's not the smile you want!
[02:58] ---
If you're going to study up on Mai-san,
make it something a bit more exhilarating.
[03:02] ---
Oh, what should I do?
[03:05] ---
The retake for the commercial is tomorrow!
[03:07] ---
I haven't grasped anything yet!
[03:09] ---
Things probably won't change
going into tomorrow, anyway.
[03:11] ---
Y-You don't have to be so blunt!
[03:13] ---
Maybe you don't have to try
doing things you can't do.
[03:17] ---
Just be mediocre. You're being too greedy.
[03:21] ---
What, going home already?
[03:23] ---
If I'm home late, Mai-san gets in a bad mood.
[03:26] ---
Hold on!
[03:28] ---
Y-You know...
[03:30] ---
I want to take my time with a bath...
[03:34] ---
...so can you stay until I'm out?
[03:36] ---
Huh? I don't see why I have to stay.
I don't flippin' get it.
[03:40] ---
Wh-When I'm bathing by myself,
I sometimes have a bad feeling...
[03:47] ---
So you're just scared.
[03:48] ---
You jumped at that bath scene earlier, too!
[03:51] ---
I'm okay if I can bathe with you.
[03:53] ---
Y-You'd have to ask Big Sister about that...
[03:56] ---
All right, let me call Mai-san.
[03:58] ---
N-Never mind! Die!
Seriously, die!
[04:02] ---
I'm home!
[04:04] ---
W-Welcome back, Big Brother.
[04:08] ---
Y-You're home early.
[04:11] ---
Is that a new game?
[04:13] ---
I-If you think Kaede is playing games
all the time, you're seriously mistaken.
[04:16] ---
Kaede has a lot of things on her mind, too.
[04:19] ---
What are you thinking of
to end up like that?
[04:23] ---
Big Brother, you promise not to laugh?
[04:26] ---
I won't laugh.
[04:31] ---
What do you think?
[04:34] ---
It smells like the closet.
[04:36] ---
That's it?
[04:37] ---
Hmm... You kinda look
like a middle school student.
[04:40] ---
K-Kaede is a bona-fide middle school student!
[04:44] ---
I think it's almost time for Kaede.
Almost time to put in some effort.
[04:52] ---
Don't overdo it.
[04:54] ---
Since Big Brother keeps bringing
one new girl after another,
[04:59] ---
Kaede feels she needs to shape up soon.
[05:03] ---
I'm home!
[05:04] ---
Welcome back, Nodoka-san.
[05:06] ---
Your uniform?
[05:07] ---
It's great! So cute!
[05:09] ---
Really!?
[05:11] ---
Yup.
[05:12] ---
Oh, I have a souvenir.
[05:13] ---
Thank you so much!
[05:17] ---
Oh, it's slightly better pudding!
[05:19] ---
That's right. I got this, too.
Tickets for the gig at the end of the month.
[05:23] ---
Give one to Nodoka, too.
[05:25] ---
You can give it to her yourself...
[05:27] ---
There's one for you too,
so come see the show together.
[05:29] ---
I sent one to Nodoka's mom, too.
[05:32] ---
SEPTEMBER 19th
[05:34] ---
Ready...
[05:35] ---
Start!
[05:41] ---
Yes! Okay!
[05:43] ---
That's a wrap!
[05:44] ---
Thank you very much.
[05:53] ---
Good thing that went well.
[05:55] ---
That didn't go well at all.
Twelve takes? You've got to be kidding!
[06:01] ---
It really is impossible for me
to be like Big Sister.
[06:05] ---
I seriously can't think about living
under this much pressure every day.
[06:10] ---
Totally impossible. Oh man, what should I do?
[06:14] ---
Worry about that once you're
actually that popular.
[06:17] ---
That's not what I'm talking about.
[06:21] ---
What about you?
Do you want to be like Mai-san?
[06:25] ---
I'm not sure.
I think I wanted to in the past.
[06:29] ---
And now?
[06:36] ---
Answer.
[06:39] ---
Hello?
[06:40] ---
Why are you answering, Sakuta?
[06:42] ---
Well, I needed to tell you something,
so it's all right.
[06:45] ---
Me?
[06:46] ---
Your dad called a few minutes ago.
[06:49] ---
I didn't answer, but when
the answering machine picked up,
[06:52] ---
he asked if you could see him
two nights from now.
[06:54] ---
Got it. Thank you so much.
[06:57] ---
Oh, and the commercial shoot ended well.
[07:00] ---
Though she had like thirteen takes.
[07:01] ---
Twelve!
[07:02] ---
I see. Tell Nodoka she did a good job.
[07:05] ---
See you.
[07:10] ---
That's right. Mai-san told me to give you this.
[07:14] ---
The ticket for the gig at the end of the month.
[07:18] ---
I still remember when I first met Big Sister
at an audition, back when I was a kid.
[07:21] ---
Audition Area - historical drama "Kokonoe"
[07:25] ---
I was just thinking
how I wanted a little sister!
[07:31] ---
I was so happy...
[07:33] ---
Big Sister was just so awesome.
[07:36] ---
Well, Mai-san is still awesome as always.
[07:39] ---
But recalling it now,
I think Big Sister was bewildered.
[07:43] ---
But, she was still Big Sister...
[07:50] ---
I know I can't be like Big Sister,
but I'll continue my work as a pop idol.
[07:54] ---
The gigs are fun,
and I have fans that cheer for me.
[07:58] ---
I see.
[07:59] ---
Yeah...
[08:00] ---
So I'll first work hard on getting a song
where I'm the main singer.
[08:04] ---
That way, Mother may be
more understanding of me.
[08:09] ---
Hey, what do you think about your parents?
[08:13] ---
Do you know of the situation
regarding my family?
[08:15] ---
Yeah. I've heard most of it from Big Sister.
[08:19] ---
Your little sister developed Puberty Syndrome,
[08:22] ---
your mother was hospitalized
because she couldn't accept that fact,
[08:25] ---
and your father had to stay by her side...
[08:28] ---
Well, that's about it.
[08:31] ---
In the end, they left everything
about Kaede to me, and now we live apart.
[08:37] ---
And? How do you feel about your parents?
[08:40] ---
They're my parents.
[08:42] ---
Huh? What's up with that?
Surely, you have other feelings.
[08:45] ---
Like you love them, hate them,
they piss you off or are annoying...
[08:48] ---
Well, all of the above?
[08:53] ---
No grudges?
[08:54] ---
Not really.
[08:55] ---
Why?
[08:56] ---
Probably because they're my parents.
[09:05] ---
Something wrong?
[09:07] ---
Mother...
[09:08] ---
Where is Nodoka?
This is an important time for her.
[09:12] ---
Please return her!
[09:14] ---
Sorry, I don't understand...
[09:17] ---
She's at your place, isn't she?
[09:18] ---
No, she is not.
[09:20] ---
Don't lie to me!
[09:22] ---
She really isn't here.
Would you like to come in and see for yourself?
[09:27] ---
No, that's fine.
[09:29] ---
If you hear from Nodoka,
please tell her to hurry back home.
[09:36] ---
SEPTEMBER 21st
[09:43] ---
It's been a while.
[09:45] ---
Perhaps.
[09:48] ---
How's Mom?
[09:49] ---
Getting better.
[09:51] ---
I see. That's good.
[09:54] ---
- Oh—
- Ka—
[09:57] ---
H-How's Kaede doing?
[09:59] ---
She was wearing her uniform
when I came home the other day.
[10:02] ---
It's still hard for her to go outside, but I think
she feels that she can't stay like this forever.
[10:09] ---
I see...
[10:12] ---
You know...
[10:13] ---
What is it?
[10:14] ---
How does it feel to be a parent?
[10:16] ---
You can't possibly have a kid—
[10:18] ---
No, not that!
I haven't done that stuff yet!
[10:20] ---
That's not what I wanted to ask.
[10:24] ---
I see, not yet...
[10:27] ---
Well, you can find out what it feels like
once you've become a parent.
[10:32] ---
Will I be one someday?
[10:35] ---
Honestly, your mother and I were in turmoil
when you were born.
[10:40] ---
It was a first time for everything,
which made us feel uneasy...
[10:43] ---
One time, when I was changing your diapers,
my head so hazy from utter fatigue,
[10:47] ---
I feel asleep before finishing.
[10:49] ---
If you're going to tell me anything,
can you make it something more decent?
[10:53] ---
SEPTEMBER 30th
[10:57] ---
Amazing. You're pretty popular.
[11:00] ---
For now, it's all we can do
to fill up a place of this size.
[11:04] ---
So your mother is somewhere in the crowd?
[11:07] ---
Somewhere towards the front, I think.
[11:54] ---
Good evening!
[11:56] ---
We're Sweet Bullet!
[11:58] ---
Well, it's finally started.
[11:58] ---
Toyohama, were you "Doka-chan"?
Should I go along with it?
[12:00] ---
Wait, Zukki, aren't you sweating a ton?
[12:01] ---
You don't have to!
[12:03] ---
Eh? Idols don't sweat.
[12:05] ---
No, you are. Quite a bit.
[12:06] ---
You always say how even your panties
are drenched after a gig.
[12:10] ---
I-Idols don't wear panties!
[12:13] ---
Eh? You're not wearing panties?
[12:16] ---
Oh no, no, that's not what I wanted to say.
I wanted to say, idols never sweat!
[12:19] ---
Then, what's that?
[12:20] ---
This is, well...
Some kind of strange juice!
[12:24] ---
If we keep this up, she might say
something fatal to a pop idol's career.
[12:30] ---
Okay, on to the next song, "BABY"!
[12:34] ---
I WANNA KISS YOU, LOVE ME BABY!
[12:40] ---
I WANNA KISS YOU, LOVE ME BABY!
[12:52] ---
Yeah, yeah!
[12:53] ---
Today's Set List
1. Sweet Bullet
2. BABY
[12:59] ---
You know,
[12:59] ---
Nee, watashi
[13:00] ---
My brain has been in a traffic jam all day long
[13:00] ---
Asa kara shikou kairo ga daijuutai desu
[13:04] ---
I won't look so flat and exhausted like before
[13:04] ---
Mae mitai ni kino nuketa kao nante shinaiwa
[13:11] ---
Calculating to pretend that it's just a coincidence
[13:11] ---
Guuzen wo yosoou tame no keisan wo shite
[13:16] ---
Words to approach you with
are what I desperately--
[13:16] ---
Kimi ni kakeru kotoba hisshi--
[13:19] ---
am searching for
[13:19] ---
Sagashiteru
[13:23] ---
Confidence that I can speak well
[13:23] ---
Jouzu ni hanaseru jishin nante
[13:29] ---

[13:29] ---
Koreppochi mo nai kuse nine
[13:34] ---
For you, KISS YOU, LOVE ME BABY
[13:34] ---
Kimi ni KISS YOU, LOVE ME BABY
[13:37] ---
This story's just begun
[13:37] ---
Hajimatta bakari no STORY
[13:40] ---
Big Sister is amazing...
[13:40] ---
- Yoshuu mo nanimo dekite naikedo
- I haven't beenn able to study in advance at all
[13:44] ---
And now, the usual event
for Sweet Bullet...
[13:46] ---
Announcing the featured member
for the next single!
[13:50] ---
Clap, clap, clap!
[13:53] ---
Wait, since I'm the one announcing it,
that means I'm out of the running!
[13:58] ---
Maybe it's a surprise and
you're announcing yourself, Zukki!
[14:01] ---
Well, here goes!
[14:04] ---
Announcing!
[14:07] ---
The featured member of our next single...
[14:11] ---
...is Doka-chan!
[14:16] ---
Grats!
[14:18] ---
Thank you!
[14:20] ---
I'll do my best to not lose
to everyone else, including Zukki!
[14:32] ---
Man, that was fun.
[14:34] ---
I can kinda see why some people
get totally obsessed with pop idols.
[14:40] ---
What are they waiting for?
[14:43] ---
That.
[14:47] ---
Good for you. Good for you.
[14:50] ---
I'm so happy for you.
You really tried so hard.
[15:01] ---
Mother was smiling...
[15:04] ---
It's normal to smile sometimes.
[15:06] ---
No way. She's never looked like that
in front of me.
[15:11] ---
So in the end, it's all about Big Sister.
[15:15] ---
So Mother thinks Big Sister is better after all...
[15:24] ---
I don't want to go home.
[15:26] ---
I want to go to the beach.
[15:32] ---
All right. Just for a bit.
[15:47] ---
Hey!
[15:53] ---
Hold on!
[15:54] ---
Let go!
[15:55] ---
Nobody really needs me at all!
[15:58] ---
Toyohama!
[16:00] ---
What the hell are you doing?
[16:01] ---
I've had enough of this!
[16:02] ---
No way you've had enough!
[16:04] ---
Let go! Let go of me, you idiot!
[16:05] ---
Who's the idiot here!?
[16:07] ---
This has nothing to do with you!
[16:08] ---
Then don't test me so unfairly!
[16:11] ---
Don't go into the ocean assuming
someone will save you, idiot!
[16:14] ---
Shut up!
[16:16] ---
All you care about is Big Sister!
[16:18] ---
That's right! If something happened to you,
Mai-san will be sad!
[16:21] ---
That's a lie!
[16:22] ---
It's not a lie!
[16:24] ---
If something happened to you,
I know Mai-san will be sad!
[16:26] ---
She said she hated me!
[16:28] ---
And that was the lie!
[16:33] ---
Do you have proof?
[16:36] ---
Fine. I'll show you.
[16:43] ---
You shouldn't do that.
Swimming is prohibited in this area.
[16:53] ---
What is this?
[16:54] ---
You'll see when you open it.
[16:56] ---
Annoying.
[17:02] ---
These are... all letters I wrote.
[17:05] ---
Why?
[17:06] ---
I don't get it... Why... Why?
[17:11] ---
Obviously, because she was happy
to receive them.
[17:14] ---
She kept all the letters from you
safe and sound.
[17:18] ---
There's no way she hates you
if she's done this.
[17:20] ---
But I'm not... her real little sister!
[17:25] ---
What's that about?
[17:29] ---
Back when I wrote these,
[17:31] ---
I didn't know that Big Sister and I
had different mothers, and what that meant...
[17:36] ---
So, after I figured it out,
I always felt uneasy...
[17:40] ---
When I thought that I was being a nuisance
to Big Sister, I couldn't write letters anymore!
[17:47] ---
Or so she says.
Mai-san, how did you really feel?
[17:53] ---
Don't look through people's treasures
without permission.
[17:57] ---
Why...
[18:00] ---
Big Sister...
[18:02] ---
All I remember from back then is
how dizzy I felt from how busy I was.
[18:07] ---
All I did after going home was sleep, and didn't
have time to watch the shows I appeared in.
[18:13] ---
So many people complimented me,
but all I thought was, "Who are these people?"
[18:21] ---
But you were different, Nodoka.
[18:23] ---
Honestly, I was bewildered when you
were introduced as my little sister...
[18:28] ---
But you always gave me letters saying,
"You were awesome!" or "You're amazing!"
[18:34] ---
And it gave me courage each time.
[18:37] ---
I felt that I could keep working hard
as long as it made you happy.
[18:41] ---
And thanks to that, I came to like my job.
[18:44] ---
So, Nodoka...
[18:46] ---
Thank you.
[18:49] ---
Thank you for being my little sister.
[18:55] ---
Big Sister...
[18:57] ---
Not fair! You're not fair, Big Sister!
[18:59] ---
Saying that after everything's
said and done... It's too late!
[19:03] ---
I tried to do my best, too....
[19:06] ---
But why do you get a featured song before me?
[19:10] ---
Why are you being complimented
by my mother!?
[19:13] ---
Because I practiced.
[19:15] ---
I practiced bit by bit every day.
[19:17] ---
That's what I mean!
[19:18] ---
No matter how hard it is,
you do what you need to properly!
[19:21] ---
It's your fault if you can't do it!
I hate how you're awesome like that!
[19:28] ---
Ouch! Why me!?
[19:31] ---
Sorry. She sounded like a spoiled brat,
so my anger flared up.
[19:34] ---
Then you slapped the wrong person, right?
[19:37] ---
She has a fashion magazine
photo shoot tomorrow, right?
[19:39] ---
What'll she do if she's scarred because of me?
[19:42] ---
Stuff like that, too...
[19:44] ---
Your professionalism is too strong!
I can't even compete!
[19:48] ---
I can't even compete...
[19:56] ---
Nodoka.
[19:58] ---
You know how your mother was
in the line of high-fives after the gig, right?
[20:03] ---
Her hand was trembling on her turn,
and she held my hand.
[20:09] ---
I think she felt really uneasy until now.
[20:12] ---
Uneasy?
[20:13] ---
Seeing you do everything
to meet her expectations,
[20:17] ---
she was uneasy about whether or not
you were truly happy this whole time
[20:22] ---
But I don't know anything about that.
I haven't heard a thing.
[20:25] ---
Like parents would be able to tell their child
about how uneasy they feel about raising them.
[20:31] ---
But I... I...
[20:35] ---
I just wanted my mother to be happy
since she was always mad, you see?
[20:39] ---
She always talked about you,
so I wanted her to compliment me for once!
[20:43] ---
I wanted my mother to smile at me!
[20:47] ---
Then, from now on, make her happy
with something you choose for yourself, Nodoka.
[20:52] ---
Not something she tells you to do.
[20:57] ---
Yup... Yup...
[21:03] ---
Sorry... I'm sorry, mother...
[21:19] ---
You know, Big Sister...
[21:21] ---
What?
[21:23] ---
I don't have to be exactly like you, do I?
[21:27] ---
You can if you want to be.
[21:30] ---
I don't.
[21:40] ---
Huh?
[21:41] ---
Eh? What?
[21:42] ---
We're back?
[21:44] ---
I think so...
[21:47] ---
We're back! We're back to normal, Big Sister!
[21:50] ---
Nodoka! I'm so glad!
[21:56] ---
Now, I can be all lovey-dovey with Mai-san...
[21:59] ---
Big Sister!
[22:01] ---
Oh, don't cry...
[22:02] ---
But...
[22:06] ---
In the end, I wonder what this was all about.
[22:10] ---
First of all, it wasn't their personas
that had swapped, right?
[22:13] ---
I guess so. You could say it was only
their appearances that swapped.
[22:17] ---
The little sister's consciousness, thinking
"I want to be like Big Sister" or "I have to be like her,"
[22:22] ---
probably changed her appearance
into that of Mai Sakurajima.
[22:26] ---
Probably, but what kind of reasoning is that?
[22:29] ---
As for the principle, it's probably adequate
to assume it's a type of quantum teleportation.
[22:32] ---
Quantum Mechanics Stories that
Even Gorillas Can Understand
[22:36] ---
Gorillas are smart, aren't they?
[22:38] ---
In other words...
[22:39] ---
Sakurajima-senpai's little sister took the blueprint
for her big sister's physical body for her own,
[22:44] ---
and gained the guise of our senpai
by observing it for herself. That's what I think.
[22:50] ---
Then, why did Mai-san
look like Toyohama as well?
[22:53] ---
Is it possible to think that she may have
been slightly jealous of her little sister, too?
[23:45] ---
It's unlocked. Come in.
[23:47] ---
Excuse me!
[23:50] ---
Why are you here, Toyohama?
[23:52] ---
I'm going to live here, too.
[23:54] ---
I thought you mended fences with your mom.
[23:56] ---
I had another fight soon after.
[23:58] ---
I mean, she was so annoying,
telling me to do this and that, you know?
[24:01] ---
Don't "you know" me!
[24:02] ---
Are you okay with this, Mai-san?
[24:04] ---
Oh, sorry. It's a call from my agency.
[24:07] ---
Hello. Thanks for the hard work.
[24:09] ---
When I talked to Big Sister about it, she asked,
"Do you want to live at my place for a while?"
[24:14] ---
And, well... Thank you.
[24:18] ---
Big Sister said I should give a proper thanks!
[24:20] ---
I troubled you in many ways...
And you saved me...
[24:24] ---
Don't worry about it.
[24:26] ---
I just wanted to be lovey-dovey
with Mai-san as soon as possible.
[24:32] ---
I think I understand it a bit now.
[24:34] ---
Huh?
[24:35] ---
Why Big Sister chose you, Sakuta.
[24:39] ---
I am terribly sorry about that.
[24:42] ---
Yes, I realize I'll be troubling you.
[24:44] ---
Yes...
[24:46] ---
Is something wrong?
[24:47] ---
I think we've got a slight problem now...
