[00:11] Wadagaki
    Sorry I'm late today.
[00:16] Wadagaki
    You're still homeless, huh?
[00:27] Donraku
    This nation really will fall
    due to incompetent politicians.
[00:32] Donraku
    Those damn nepo-baby Diet members—
[00:37] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Mom, I've been wondering.
    Why do you turn off the TV?
[00:42] (Flashback) Mom
    Because we're gonna eat.
    Come on, sit up straight.
[00:50] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You always turn off the TV
    when Donraku comes on.
[00:56] (Flashback) Mom
    We promised not to talk about that anymore.
[00:59] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    We used to have tons of pictures of him up.
[01:02] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    How long are you gonna hide it?
[01:04] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I might see him in Tokyo.
[01:06] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm saying this for your sake.
[01:09] (Flashback) Mom
    Once you grow up, someday you'll
    understand, whether you like it or not.
[01:17] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Um, excuse me. Is the
    audition in this building?
[01:21] (Flashback) Applicant A
    I dunno. Look it up yourself, why don't you?
[01:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Are you auditioning today?
[01:27] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Huh? Uh, yes.
[01:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Then let's go together.
[01:39] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Thank you for earlier.
[01:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's totally fine. That map
    was impossible to understand.
[01:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yeah. I just came to Tokyo yesterday.
[01:49] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What? Wow.
[01:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    That must've made it
    even harder to understand.
[01:53] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Where are you from?
[01:54] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Oita.
[01:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Is that why your backpack's so big?
[01:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I even packed everything I need.
[02:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What? Really?
[02:03] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You didn't bring anything?
[02:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh, right. I didn't notice.
[02:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You seem so calm. You're not nervous at all.
[02:18] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I actually just noticed
    since you mentioned it,
[02:21] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    but I seem to have forgotten my bag
     at home because I was so nervous.
[02:30] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What? Seriously?
[02:33] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm Mitsuya Yuki. Nice to meet you.
[02:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I thought if I became an idol
    I'd be able to meet my dad.
[02:39] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    That's a nice dream.
    I'm sure it'll come true.
[02:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Why did you audition, Mitsuya-san?
[02:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I think my reason's a bit like yours.
[02:51] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Like my father, I wanted to
    make people laugh and cry.
[02:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I wanted to get a job in entertainment
    that would let me move people's hearts.
[03:01] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    That's amazing! Your dad's an entertainer?
[03:04] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh, but I didn't tell him I'm auditioning.
[03:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    My father said he'd introduce me
    to some people in the business he knows,
[03:11] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    but then I wouldn't be
    doing it myself, you know?
[03:14] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    That sounds like a wasted opportunity.
[03:16] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Not at all.
[03:18] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I don't want people to say I only
    got the job because of my father.
[03:21] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    He honed his art all on his own.
[03:26] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Huh.
[03:27] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I'm kind of jealous.
[03:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh, sorry. I shouldn't have said all that.
[03:32] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Sorry. Forget what I said.
[03:35] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    It's totally fine. I'm used to it.
[03:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It'd be great if we both passed the audition.
[03:46] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I had the same thought!
[03:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Really?
[04:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Sorry, I know this was sudden!
[04:21] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    It's fine.
[04:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I was glad to hear from you, Mitsuya-san.
[04:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    So, listen...
[04:29] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yeah?
[04:30] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I got a call after that.
[04:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yeah.
[04:33] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    They called me in for a final screening.
[04:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Really? That's great!
[04:38] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I wanted to tell you in person.
[04:43] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What about you, Sakura-chan?
    Did you get your results yet?
[04:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    No, nothing.
[04:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Then you still have a chance.
[04:49] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Really?
[04:50] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    They're still deciding.
    They didn't tell me anything else.
[04:55] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    But I'm sure you'd pass another audition.
[04:59] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yeah. I'm broke, so I can't
    even go back home now.
[05:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    If it comes to it, I'll ask
    my father if he has any ideas.
[05:09] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What does your dad do?
[05:12] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh, right. Sorry.
[05:15] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You don't have to hide it.
[05:17] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    It's embarrassing.
[05:20] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What? Why? You should hold your head high.
[05:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You passed the audition on your own merits.
[05:27] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    My dad is a storyteller.
    Do you know about rakugo?
[05:31] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yeah.
[05:32] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    He's on TV a lot.
[05:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    He had a reputation for casually
    saying things that upset people,
[05:38] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    so I was a little embarrassed about it.
[05:41] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Maybe you know him. His name is Donraku.
[05:47] (Flashback) Wadagaki

[06:24] Mom
    A letter arrived for you.
[06:27] Mom
    It said it was from a place
    called Gray Dog Agency.
[06:30] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    It finally arrived.
    It must be the audition results.
[06:34] Mom
    I know that.
[06:36] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    How?
[06:37] Mom
    Because I opened it right away.
[06:39] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Oh, right.

    "After a fair and impartial review,

[07:00] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What? That's it?

    Why did I fail?!

    What? Who are you?
[07:39] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I'm Wadagaki. Wadagaki Sakura.
[07:42] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    We met at the audition.
[07:43] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, uh...
[07:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    How can I get in?
[07:47] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Um, you know, we're a small agency that
    was just established. We're short-staffed.
[07:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Three girls is the most we can look after.
[07:56] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Sakura-chan?
[07:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    If I wasn't chosen to be one of them,
    then I'd like to know why!
[08:04] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I don't remember the exact reason. Sorry.
[08:09] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Mitsuya-san.
[08:10] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    What?
[08:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What about Mitsuya-san?

    Mitsuya?
[08:13] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Um...
[08:14] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Come on. Let's go.
[08:17] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, right. I remember now.
[08:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    You were the runner-up behind Mitsuya.
[08:25] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    You were so close.
    If only you had a bit more charm.
[08:28] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, I know. We're going to
    hold another audition.
[08:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Why don't you practice until then?
[08:34] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I'll be in touch. Thanks.
[08:38] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Let's get going.
[08:52] (Flashback) Teacher
    Take a 15-minute break, and then we'll
    check your formation on the next pass.
[08:57] (Flashback) All
    Okay.
[08:58] (Flashback) Ichimura
    That girl was kind of crazy.
[09:00] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Who?
[09:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
    She was so desperate to know why she failed.
[09:04] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What? Of course she was desperate.
    What's crazy about that?
[09:08] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You know, your dancing is sloppy,
    and you're not getting any better.
[09:13] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Do you even want to do this?
[09:16] (Flashback) Ichimura
    My house is too cramped
    to practice on my own.
[09:18] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Oh, really? That must be so hard for you.
[09:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're full of excuses. That other girl
    was way more motivated than you.
[09:25] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Hey, come on.
[09:27] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Is this really worth getting worked up about?
[09:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
    If you're so unmotivated,
    why don't you just quit?
[09:31] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I told you, my family's actually really poor.
[09:35] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I need the money, so I'm not quitting.
[09:37] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Quit it, you two.
[09:39] (Flashback) Ichimura
    You know, you talk about auditioning, but
    you've known the manager for a long time.
[09:46] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Sounds super shady to me.
[09:48] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Hey, come on. The three of us
    are going to be a team.
[09:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Let's try to work together, okay?
[09:53] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Why should I? I don't have time for that.
[09:57] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I've been trying to this whole time.
[09:59] (Flashback) Ichimura
    We've been forced to bend to her every whim.
[10:01] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Maybe, but we're going to have to
    work together like this for a while.
[10:05] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're too soft. Someone needs
    to give it to her straight.
[10:15] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Fine. Then you should go solo, Nikaido-san.
[10:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I want to go as far as I can with this team.
[10:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Maybe it's selfish,
[10:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    but I understand how both of you feel,
    and I want to respect that.
[10:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What's your deal?
[10:38] (Flashback) Teacher
    If anything comes up,
    let me know by call or text.
[10:40] (Flashback) Both
    Good night.
[10:42] (Flashback) Teacher
    Good night.
[10:43] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Good night.
[10:51] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Here.
[10:53] (Flashback) Ichimura
    What?
[10:55] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Sorry about earlier.
[10:56] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Nikaido-san, you eat this stuff, too?
[10:59] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Today is special.
[11:02] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Thanks.
[11:03] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Why did you two want to become idols?
[11:09] (Flashback) Ichimura
    I don't have my own room at home.
[11:12] (Flashback) Ichimura
    The bathtub's the only place
    I can call my own.
[11:15] (Flashback) Ichimura
    So I want to move to a place with a huge tub.
[11:18] (Flashback) Ichimura
    In other words, I want to be rich.
[11:22] (Flashback) Nikaido
    Huh, I see.
[11:25] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You won't be able to afford a big tub
    if you're barely managing the choreography.
[11:29] (Flashback) Nikaido
    I wish you at least wouldn't
    hold me or Mitsuya-san back.
[11:33] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Sorry.
[11:35] (Flashback) Nikaido
    You're struggling with the B part, right?
    I'll show you a trick to doing it.
[11:41] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Thanks, I think.
[11:44] (Flashback) Ichimura
    What about you, Mitsuya-san?
[11:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Why an idol?
[11:48] (Flashback) Ichimura
    Yeah.
[11:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    From watching my dad, I think.
[11:57] (Flashback) Nikaido
    God, just how much of a good girl are you?
[12:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    You think?
[12:01] (Flashback) Ichimura
    There aren't many girls like you these days.
[12:04] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Okay, let's try smiling more now.
[12:07] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Nice. Could you come forward?
[12:12] (Flashback) Cameraman
    This girl's got a powerful aura.
[12:15] (Flashback) Cameraman
    She's gonna be big.
[12:18] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    I know Nikaido is a winner, too.
[12:21] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Actually, since her previous agency—
[12:23] (Flashback) Cameraman
    Oh, not her. This girl.
[12:28] (Flashback) Cameraman
    This Mitsuya girl.
[12:31] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, yeah.
[12:33] (Flashback) Cameraman
    It's like she's on another level.
[12:37] (Flashback) Producer
    Like I told you before, Yamamoto-chan...
[12:40] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Yes.
[12:41] (Flashback) Producer
    I feel like Mitsuya-san was born
    with something different.
[12:47] (Flashback) Producer
    She's gonna turn into something incredible.
[12:49] (Flashback) President
    Sounds good to me.
[12:51] (Flashback) President
    Nikaido's talented. As long as she
    supports her, they'll make a good team.
[12:56] (Flashback) President
    Good morning. Good to see you again.
[12:58] (Flashback) All
    Good morning.
[12:59] (Flashback) President
    Good morning.
[13:00] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What? A debut tour?
[13:03] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Yeah. I worked really hard for this.
[13:05] (Flashback) Ichimura
    But I still don't have
    the choreography down yet.
[13:09] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, uh...
[13:11] (Flashback) Nikaido
    What is this?
[13:13] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Oh, um...
[13:19] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    That's the artist photo we're gonna go with.
[13:23] (Flashback) President
    Be direct with them, Yamamoto-kun.
    Mitsuya is going to be the center.

    What's the meaning of this?
[13:48] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Sorry, but the situation has changed.
[13:51] (Flashback) Nikaido
    This isn't what you promised!
[13:53] (Flashback) Yamamoto
    Let me explain it to you sometime.
[14:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm home!
[14:10] (Flashback) Kumiko
    How could you be so selfish?
[14:12] (Flashback) Donraku
    I'm discussing it with you
    right now, aren't I?
[14:14] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Dad, are you home?
[14:17] (Flashback) Donraku
    I think Yuki's ready to meet them.
[14:20] (Flashback) Kumiko
    This is a difficult time for Yuki.
    She can't do that.
[14:25] (Flashback) Kumiko
    Besides, if people find out about
    your relationships from that time—oh?
[14:32] (Flashback) Kumiko
    Yuki?
[14:37] (Flashback) Kumiko
    Say something if you're home.

    You're one of the top ten most

[14:55] Sakurai
    That's incredible.
[14:57] Ichimura
    Because of the incident,
    not because of our talent.
[15:00] Sakurai
    So, have you given any thought to the future?
[15:04] Wadagaki
    Yes. I came here today with the intention
    of signing on with your agency.
[15:09] Ichimura
    Me, too.
[15:10] Sakurai
    I actually put together a plan for your
    future activities and upcoming schedule.
[15:16] Wadagaki
    Wow.
[15:17] Ichimura
    That said, I'm not ready yet emotionally—
[15:19] Sakurai
    We're currently negotiating
    for you to keep your name.
[15:22] Sakurai
    You'd be either the New Mystery Kiss or this.

[15:27] Ichimura
    What? Ugh, no way.
[15:30] Wadagaki
    I certainly hope we can!
[15:33] Wadagaki
    Oh, would I continue using
    the same stage name?
[15:36] Sakurai
    What? You mean Mitsuya Yuki?
[15:40] Wadagaki
    Yes.
[15:41] Sakurai
    I don't know about that.
[15:45] Wadagaki
    Then could I get an advance on my rent?
[15:51] Sakurai
    Yeah, sure.
[15:53] Sakurai
    I look forward to working with you.
[15:56] Wadagaki
    Yeah!
[15:57] Ichimura
    It's strange, isn't it?
SIGN    Lost Cat!
[15:59] Ichimura
    Nobody paid attention to us before.
[16:03] Wadagaki
    But I'm glad things turned out this way.
[16:07] Ichimura
    You are? I didn't like it before,
    but now I want to wear a mask again.
[16:14] Ichimura
    I'd rather appear on TV
    without being recognized.
[16:18] Ichimura
    Lately I feel like all kinds of people
    are watching me, and it's scary.
[16:22] Wadagaki
    Isn't that what it means to be an idol?
[16:27] Ichimura
    You mentioned wanting to
    keep using Mitsuya-san's name.
[16:35] Wadagaki
    Can't I?
[16:36] Ichimura
    You were serious? Isn't that kind of crazy?
[16:43] Wadagaki
    Hey. Time to eat.
[17:12] Narration
    At first glance, they seemed
    to be enjoying brilliant careers
[17:15] Narration
    in the entertainment industry,
    but on the inside...
SIGN    On the inside—
[17:20] Ichimura
    I realized something.
[17:22] Ichimura
    We couldn't stay here and keep
    allowing ourselves to be exploited.
[17:27] Ichimura
    That's why we took our masks off.
[17:32] Ichimura
    We want people to see our real faces.
[17:35] Ichimura
    It was a difficult time.
[17:37] Ichimura
    I thought I'd become an idol, but
    not only was I forced to wear a mask,
[17:41] Ichimura
    I had to get dinner every night
    with a strange man my father's age.
[17:47] Ichimura
    I was paid to do it.
[17:50] Wadagaki
    Sorry.
[17:54] Wadagaki
    My dad abandoned my mom a long time ago.
[17:58] Wadagaki
    I've never met my real father.
[18:02] Wadagaki
    That's why I decided to become an idol.
[18:09] Wadagaki
    If you're watching this, Dad, contact me.
[18:13] Rena
    I knew they'd be on their guard.
[18:16] Rena
    So, you were questioned?
[18:18] Sato
    I made it through that fine,
    but I heard something interesting.
[18:23] Sato
    A few stray cats have died
    around that apartment.
[18:28] Sato
    What are you looking at?
[18:29] Rena
    The video we took that day.
[18:31] Rena
    Watch the office.
[18:34] Sato
    The lights are on.
[18:36] Rena
    And then they go out.
[18:39] Sato
    Huh? Wait a minute.
[18:45] Rena
    Hey! What are you doing?
[18:46] Sato
    Found it.
[18:50] Rena
    Do you always have to be so loud?
[18:53] Sato
    This is before Nikaido entered the office.
[18:55] Sato
    23:47. 23:21.
[18:58] Rena
    Huh? You're right.
[18:58] Otani
    Hello? One moment, please.
[18:59] Sato
    Which means...
[18:59] Rena
    What does it mean?
[19:01] Sato
    Rena-chan, phone for you. It's Donraku-san.
[19:22] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Huh? Sakura-chan?
[19:25] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Mitsuya-san, why are you here?
[19:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What are you doing here?
[19:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I don't have anywhere to stay right now.
[19:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    What? Do you want to stay at my place, then?
[19:40] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    You're a really nice person.
[19:43] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I'm flat broke.
[19:45] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I figured I'd be lucky
    if I could spend one night here.
[19:49] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    It was pouring earlier, you know?
[19:51] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I jumped into a taxi.
[19:54] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I didn't think I'd be able
    to get in so easily.
[19:58] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    You don't have a home?
[20:00] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Not right now, so I'm prepared
    to live anywhere.
[20:05] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    We exchanged contact information.
    You could've called me anytime.
[20:11] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What are you doing here
    at this hour, Mitsuya-san?
[20:14] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Oh...
[20:14] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    It's not work, is it?
[20:19] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Nikaido-san asked me to come.
[20:21] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Nikaido?
[20:23] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    She's a girl in my group.
[20:25] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Huh. Why?
[20:28] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Probably because I might become the center.
[20:32] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    The center?
[20:34] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Yeah.
[20:35] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Nikaido-san's been doing this a long time,
    so I think she assumed it would be her.
[20:42] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Oh, so you stole the best position from her.
[20:47] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I didn't take anything from her.
[20:50] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I don't really get it either,
[20:52] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    but it's people like the producer
    who make those decisions.
[20:57] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm hoping we can talk it out
    and resolve any misunderstandings.
[21:00] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Is it really a misunderstanding?
[21:04] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I'm glad you're here, though.
[21:07] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I felt anxious on my way here.
[21:12] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    Ever since we met, for some reason
    I've felt strangely at ease when I'm with you.
[21:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Huh.
[21:26] (Flashback) Mitsuya
    I wonder if Nikaido-san will get here soon.
[21:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    I was supposed to become you.
[22:17] Yamamoto
    Hello? Is this Wadagaki Sakura-san's phone?
[22:23] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Who is this?
[22:27] Yamamoto
    I'm Yamamoto of Gray Dog, Inc.
[22:30] Yamamoto
    I wanted to discuss something with you.
[22:33] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Yamamoto-san? I don't know 
    what you're talking about.
[22:39] Yamamoto
    What? That's odd. 
    Didn't you audition with us?
[22:43] Yamamoto
    Did you join another agency after that?
[22:47] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    What? No, nothing like that.
[22:50] Yamamoto
    If you haven't changed your mind, I'd like 
    to meet with you in person and talk again.
[22:58] (Flashback) Wadagaki
    Really?
[22:59] Sato
    Are you really quitting?

[23:01] Manager
    She's claiming to be his
    18-year-old biological child.
[23:03] Rena
    Do you remember who you
    drove on October 4th?
[23:06] Rena
    Someone else killed Yuki.
[23:09] Wadagaki
    Dad!
[23:11] Odokawa
    Where to?
