[00:31] ---
    I had so much fun!
[00:34] ---
    I got to stand up on stage
    and sing the songs I love...
[00:38] ---
    Dreams really do come true.
[00:42] ---
    Good luck in the finals!
    And congrats again!
[01:09] ---
    I thought that, as long
    as you kept believing,
[01:13] ---
    your dreams would all come true.
[01:18] ---
    "Akari Amasawa's Real-life MIRACLE!"
[01:21] ---
    But my dream ended before
    it was even realized.
[01:37] ---
    I've gotta get over this...
[01:44] ---
    "Q: Why did you try out
    for SELECTION PROJECT?"
[01:45] ---
    "Q: Why did you try out
    for SELECTION PROJECT?"
    In short, I'd say just to give it a try.
[01:49] ---
    "Q: Why did you try out
    for SELECTION PROJECT?"
    I'd rather regret trying and failing
    than regret never trying at all.
[01:55] ---
    "Q: Why did you try out
    for SELECTION PROJECT?"
    The experience alone
    will be valuable in itself.
[02:00] ---
    So I'm going to do every last thing
    I can to see it through.
[02:06] ---
    The girls who made it
    to the finals are so cool...
[02:10] ---
    And then you have me...
[02:18] ---
    Seira-chan?!
[02:19] ---
    "Ayanomiya Middle School"
    Hey, is Suzune Miyama-chan around?
[02:24] ---
    "Ayanomiya Middle School"
    Seira-chan spoke to me!
[02:25] ---
    Seira-chan is a real, live person!
[02:28] ---
    She's so pretty!
[02:29] ---
    --And her legs are so long!
    --Could I get an answer?
[02:31] ---
    Seira-chan!
[02:33] ---
    Suzu! I'm here to see you!
[02:36] ---
    How'd you know this was my school?
[02:39] ---
    "School: Ayanomiya Middle School"
    I peeked at your show profile.
[02:43] ---
    Are you free now?
[02:45] ---
    Uh, yeah?
[02:47] ---
    Wanna come on a date with me right now?
[02:50] ---
    Huh?!
[02:59] ---
    You really spooked me there.
    I wasn't expecting that.
[03:02] ---
    So, why'd you come see me today?
[03:04] ---
    Oh, I had tests all morning,
[03:07] ---
    but I was free this afternoon,
    so I figured I'd stop by.
[03:10] ---
    Oh, cool!
[03:12] ---
    Wait, don't you live in Gunma?
[03:15] ---
    That's like, really far from here.
[03:17] ---
    Not really. It's just one
    train ride from Takasaki.
[03:21] ---
    Anyway, give me your Sepis username!
[03:24] ---
    Oh, right, we haven't
    exchanged contact info, huh...
[03:28] ---
    "Omiya Park Map"
[03:35] ---
    So, uh, the Selection finals start
    over summer break, yeah?
[03:39] ---
    That's right.
[03:41] ---
    Wow. And if you win the finals,
    you get to debut as an idol.
[03:48] ---
    Oh, but Selection debuts different
    numbers of idols every year, huh?
[03:55] ---
    I wonder how many they'll pick this year.
[03:59] ---
    I don't know yet.
[04:01] ---
    Oh... figures.
[04:05] ---
    Seira-chan?
[04:07] ---
    You know, I've been thinking.
[04:11] ---
    If you hadn't fallen,
    who knows who would've won.
[04:16] ---
    I'd never been that nervous in my life.
[04:19] ---
    I mean, I'd never auditioned
    before then, either.
[04:22] ---
    No way! That was your
    first audition?! You're joking!
[04:27] ---
    Huh?
[04:28] ---
    I can't count the number of times
    I've gotten passed up at auditions!
[04:32] ---
    I took tons of voice and dance lessons
    in Cali when I was little.
[04:38] ---
    I had tons of failed auditions over there.
[04:42] ---
    And a bunch here in Japan, too.
[04:45] ---
    Really, Seira-chan? I had no idea...
[04:49] ---
    I thought auditioning and not
    getting anything was the norm.
[04:53] ---
    Then it only makes sense
    that I didn't get picked.
[04:58] ---
    I struggle during big moments,
    like taking tests or at sports festivals.
[05:04] ---
    I was born with a weak heart.
[05:09] ---
    You know how when you get nervous,
    your heart starts to race?
[05:13] ---
    Turns out my heart's
    not that good at racing.
[05:17] ---
    It's a miracle I was even able
    to get up on that Selection stage.
[05:24] ---
    It wasn't a miracle.
    You earned your place up there.
[05:30] ---
    To be honest, I was really
    upset about the result.
[05:35] ---
    Especially after I heard you
    sing at the finals.
[05:38] ---
    Huh?
[05:40] ---
    Even after the finals, I couldn't
    get your voice out of my head.
[05:46] ---
    I knew I had to accept that
    I was the one who'd won...
[05:49] ---
    C'mon, that's because you were better.
[05:53] ---
    No. If you hadn't had that accident,
    you would've made it through.
[05:59] ---
    I know it.
[06:01] ---
    But being able to perform right
    on the first try shows how good you are.
[06:10] ---
    You're going to keep singing, right?
[06:18] ---
    I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.
[06:22] ---
    Seriously?! C'mon, you can't mean that!
[06:25] ---
    You're not really going to stop, are you?!
[06:35] ---
    I had so much fun today.
[06:37] ---
    Same here!
[06:39] ---
    Come see me in Takasaki sometime.
[06:42] ---
    I know a really good pasta place.
[06:45] ---
    Okay.
[07:02] ---
    "Akari Amasawa's Real-life MIRACLE!"
[07:07] ---
    You're going to keep singing, right?
[07:33] ---
    Hello?
[07:35] ---
    Hey, Seira-chan?
[07:38] ---
    What's up, Suzu?
[07:40] ---
    I, uh, wanted to ask about
    that pasta place.
[07:48] ---
    Is that really what you called about?
[07:51] ---
    Seira-chan, I...
[07:57] ---
    ♬ One day, even on the days

[09:21] ---
    I want to keep singing.
[09:25] ---
    I love singing.
[09:27] ---
    If I quit here, then I'll only
    associate it with bad memories.
[09:33] ---
    I don't ever want to stop loving singing!
[09:39] ---
    That's great!
[09:42] ---
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[09:45] ---
    Huh?
[10:00] ---
    "Osaka's Famous Takoyaki!"
    'Scuse me! One order of takoyaki, please!

    "NAMI Bar and Restaurant"
[10:19] ---
    My, heading out already, Nagisa?
[10:22] ---
    Do you know how long
    it takes to get to Tokyo?
[10:25] ---
    I'm sorry I can't see you off
    at the train station.
[10:28] ---
    It's fine.
[10:30] ---
    You sure you'll be fine on your own?
[10:32] ---
    I'll be fine. Apple doesn't fall

[10:43] ---
    Don't tell her that, sheesh!
[10:46] ---
    No, stop! You're gonna ruin my makeup!

    You know I can't! I'll get fat!
    I'm trying to be an idol here!
[11:16] ---
    But you won't have energy
    if you don't eat!
[11:18] ---
    I'm your mother, and I say
    no diets! Got that?
[11:21] ---
    I can't take all this with me, though!
[11:24] ---
    Then I'll send it to you! Eat up, okay?
[11:28] ---
    Okay, okay...
[11:31] ---

[11:35] ---
    "Hokkaido Block Rep: Nodoka Yagi"

    make me wanna stay!
[11:48] ---
    Yer speaking normal Japanese?!
[11:50] ---
    Did Tokyo already ruin ya, sis?!
[11:53] ---
    Huh?
[11:56] ---
    Aww, c'mon.

    Don't you go worryin' about us.
[12:05] ---
    You go live the life you've dreamed of.
[12:10] ---
    "Kyushu/Okinawa Block Rep: Mako Toma"
    Will do! See ya!
[12:14] ---
    Shiori, be sure not to bring
    disgrace to the Yamaga name.
[12:18] ---
    And always strive to outdo yourself.
[12:20] ---
    No need to worry, Mother.
[12:23] ---
    You're such a delightful young woman.
[12:25] ---
    I have no doubts you will be the top
    idol in all of the Sunrise Kingdom.
[12:29] ---
    Yes, Grandmother.
[12:31] ---
    Chiyo. Do take care of my daughter.
[12:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am! I'll take
    excellent care of her!

[12:53] ---
    I'm impressed, Young Detective!
[12:55] ---
    I'm bringing you in, no matter what!
    I swear on my grandma's name!
[13:00] ---
    What kiddy nonsense.
[13:02] ---
    You need to grow out of this
    child actor nonsense already.
[13:05] ---
    Who cares? I'm going
    to end up as a singer.
[13:09] ---
    You need to learn how to act. How else
    are you going to win over more fans?
[13:14] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[13:15] ---
    Do not take that tone with me!
[13:19] ---
    Excuse me?
[13:21] ---
    Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll keep my voice down.
[13:24] ---
    You're Uta Koizumi-chan, right?
    Could I get your autograph?
[13:29] ---
    "Tohoku Block Rep: Uta Koizumi"
    Sure! Thank you so much for being a fan!

[13:53] ---
    Sprint to the winner's circle,
    just as you are!
[13:56] ---
    "Chugoku Block Rep: Ao Yodogawa"
    Got it! I'll be back!
[14:17] ---
    Was I dreaming?
[14:20] ---
    "You have new messages"
[14:23] ---
    Huh?
[14:31] ---
    What?! Seira-chan is
    dropping out of Selection?!
[14:34] ---
    No way! Why?! She was perfect!
[14:38] ---
    I gave her my Yell, too.
    I'm just in shock.
[14:41] ---
    So who's gonna represent
    the North Kanto block now?
[14:45] ---
    "You have new messages"
[14:47] ---
    "North Kanto Block Rep: Seira Kurusu"
[14:48] ---
    "North Kanto Block Rep: Seira Kurusu"
    I made the sudden decision to study
    abroad in America this semester.
[14:53] ---
    "North Kanto Block Rep: Seira Kurusu"
    As such, I will be dropping out
    of the Selection Project finals.
[14:57] ---
    "Q: Why are you dropping out?"
[14:59] ---
    To be totally honest, there was
    another girl who was better: Suzu.
[15:04] ---
    Er, Suzune Miyama-chan. She was perfect.
[15:09] ---
    So I'm going back to America to brush up
    my skills and do better than her!
[15:16] ---
    What a crazy turn of events,
    but it's all in black and white now!
[15:20] ---
    You really never know
    what's gonna happen--
[15:23] ---
    That's what makes our idol
    reality show so awesome!
[15:27] ---
    So who's gonna be our
    North Kanto Block winner?
[15:30] ---
    "North Kansai Block"
    "Seira Kurusu"
    Suzune Miyama"
[15:33] ---
    "North Kansai Block"
    
    Suzune Miyama"
[15:34] ---
    "North Kansai Block"
    Suzune Miyama"
[15:35] ---
    Our second-place finalist, Suzune Miyama!
[15:40] ---
    Huh?!
[15:41] ---
    "Seira Kurusu"
[15:45] ---
    This is the voice mailbox for...
[15:51] ---
    "You're dropping out?"
[15:52] ---
    "You're dropping out?"
    "Why"
[15:53] ---
    "Why"
    "Call me"
[15:56] ---
    Seira-chan...
[15:59] ---
    "Wanna go on a date today?"
[16:18] ---
    Suzu!
[16:21] ---
    Seira-chan!
[16:23] ---
    Saitama's nice, but so's Gunma, huh?
[16:30] ---
    America's nice, too.
[16:37] ---
    Why'd you drop out?
[16:39] ---
    I didn't do it for you.
[16:42] ---
    I did it for me--so I can outdo you.
[16:45] ---
    I'm taking on the world.
[16:49] ---
    You're gonna keep singing, right?
[16:53] ---
    Yeah.
[16:55] ---
    So let's make ourselves a promise.
[16:58] ---
    Promise me you'll get the most Yells
    and win the competition.
[17:02] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    I'll break a sweat across the ocean.
[17:07] ---
    Next time we see each other,
[17:08] ---
    we'll be two different people,
    and we'll see who's better then!
[17:12] ---
    What'll make us so different?
[17:15] ---
    Well, we'll be top idols!
[17:24] ---
    "Girls, be ambitious!"
[17:31] ---
    "Shinjuku Bus Terminal"
[17:37] ---
    All right! I'm gonna kill it!
[17:53] ---
    Huh? Aren't you...
[17:55] ---
    Oh, from Selection Project?
[18:03] ---
    Oh, hey!
[18:06] ---
    Wait, you're in the finals, right?
[18:07] ---
    Yeah!
[18:15] ---
    We should arrive in
    approximately one hour, milady.
[18:19] ---
    Okay.
[18:20] ---
    Sitting here for the whole journey
    from Nagoya is so exhausting.
[18:34] ---
    We're only stopped here for a few minutes,
    so use the bathroom now.
[18:38] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[18:53] ---
    "You have new messages"
[19:03] ---
    Today's the big day!
[19:05] ---
    Welcome to the idol reality
    show Selection Project,
[19:09] ---
    where girls pursue their dreams
    of becoming the next top idol
[19:11] ---
    through rigorous rounds
    of tense auditions!
[19:14] ---
    Season Seven's taking place
    right here, in Selection Studio!
[19:20] ---
    In this school-turned-studio,
    we've got tons of facilities:
[19:25] ---
    Practice rooms for singing,
[19:28] ---
    dancing,
[19:30] ---
    and playing music!
[19:33] ---
    A recording studio!
[19:36] ---
    And we've replaced the old gym
    with a brand-new building, with...
[19:41] ---
    A changing room!
[19:43] ---
    A makeup studio!
[19:45] ---
    And a live TV studio!
[19:48] ---
    What more could an idol hopeful ask for?!
[19:52] ---
    How about a place to stay during the show?
[19:57] ---
    The seaside terrace house, "Dreamscape!"
[20:00] ---
    You'll get to see their day-to-day life
    in the dorms on our cameras!
[20:05] ---
    Idols don't live their whole life
    on stage, after all!
[20:09] ---
    So if you want to see how your favorite
    girl looks without makeup, well...
[20:13] ---
    These nine lovely ladies
    are our finalists!
[20:15] ---
    But how many of them
    will make the cut this season?!
[20:19] ---
    Nobody knows, not even me!
[20:22] ---
    It's the Seventh Season of the idol
    reality show Selection Project!
[20:29] ---
    Who will make their idol debut this year?
[20:32] ---
    Let's put it into black and
    white, how 'bout that?!
[20:52] ---
    Hey!
[20:55] ---
    Sorry I'm late!
[21:01] ---
    I finally made it.
[21:04] ---
    I'm Suzune Miyama, I'm the
    North Kanto Block representative!
[21:08] ---
    It's good to meet you all!
[21:09] ---
    I saw your block final performance!
[21:11] ---
    It was so cool how you
    kept singing after you fell!
[21:14] ---
    For real. I watched
    that clip a million times.
[21:17] ---
    You're so lucky that
    other girl dropped out!
[21:21] ---
    You're sooo cute in person!
    There's no way I'm winning now!
[21:26] ---
    A-Aww, come on...
[21:28] ---
    It's my own fault I fell on stage...
[21:31] ---
    --For real, though, she's cute, yeah?
    --Want some?
[21:33] ---
    --Oh, yeah.
    --I'm good. You'll gain weight
    if you eat before bed.
[21:35] ---
    --Mm-hmm.
    --I'm good. You'll gain weight
    if you eat before bed.
[21:39] ---
    I'm surprised you agreed to come.
[21:41] ---
    Huh?
[21:43] ---
    If I'd lost, then been offered a spot,
[21:46] ---
    I would've been too
    embarrassed to show my face.
[21:55] ---
