**[00:05] ---**
Rena-*chan*, it's time for breakfast!
**[00:10] ---**
We'll see you there!
**[00:12] ---**
"If singing vanished from the world,
I couldn't live on--singing is my life!"
**[00:15] ---**
Music hasn't vanished from this world.
**[00:19] ---**
So why, then,
**[00:21] ---**
did you?
**[00:41] ---**
*Our eyes are focused
on the stage we dreamed of*
**[00:45] ---**
*Keep moving forward one step at a time*
**[00:49] ---**
*Anytime, anywhere;
I knew I could do more*
**[00:54] ---**
*I could fly higher than yesterday*
**[00:58] ---**
*Tears fall down our cheeks,
we stumble and fall ourselves*
**[01:02] ---**
*Sometimes we even wanted to run away*
**[01:06] ---**
*But hold onto that hope, don't give up*
**[01:09] ---**
*That's right, it all starts here*
**[01:13] ---**
*Going! One day, I'll fly*
**[01:15] ---**
*Going! anywhere I want*
**[01:18] ---**
*Going! We always believed in this path*
**[01:21] ---**
*So we'll keep going down it,
no matter what happens*
**[01:29] ---**
*Going! I'm sure our dream will come true*
**[01:32] ---**
*Going! So never stop*
**[01:34] ---**
*Going! chasing after that dream*
**[01:38] ---**
*It's our promise,
so let's reach that wonderful place*
**[01:44] ---**
*We're meant to shine up there*
**[01:51] ---**
*Our glorious days!*
**[01:56] ---**
That looks so good!
**[01:58] ---**
Hello, girls. I'm the owner
of this little villa. The name's Sunny.
**[02:02] ---**
I'll be cooking all your meals
from now until the end of the show.
**[02:07] ---**
It's great to meet you all.
**[02:09] ---**
It's nice to meet you, too!
**[02:11] ---**
My, how polite. Go ahead and dig in.
**[02:14] ---**
Thank you, ma'am!
**[02:16] ---**
Oh, hey, why don't we all take
a second to introduce ourselves?
**[02:20] ---**
Yeah, great idea!
**[02:22] ---**
I'm Hiromi Hamaguri,
and I'm a 10th-grader from Osaka!
**[02:25] ---**
Just call me Hiromi, m'kay? Thanks!
**[02:29] ---**
I'm Mako Toma. I'm in
11th grade and live in Fukuoka.
**[02:33] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:35] ---**
I'm Suzune Miyama,
a 9th-grader from Saitama!
**[02:39] ---**
Who's next... Okay!
**[02:42] ---**
You can read my profile on the app.
**[02:45] ---**
Look, I'm not about to treat this
like a vacation or some club trip.
**[02:50] ---**
We're all rivals here.
**[02:52] ---**
There's no rule against
rivals being friends, though.
**[02:58] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[03:00] ---**
I'm Rena Hananoi from South Kanto.
I'm in 9th grade.
**[03:06] ---**
I'm Nodoka Yagi from Hokkaido!
I'm also in 9th grade!
**[03:13] ---**
Sorry, I'm still not dressed
'cause I slept too late...
**[03:16] ---**
I'm Nagisa Imau. I'm from Kouchi
and am also in 9th grade.
**[03:20] ---**
You're up, Ao-*chan*.
**[03:21] ---**
Huh?! Yes, ma'am!
**[03:25] ---**
I'm Ao Yodogawa from Hiroshima!
I'm in 8th grade!
**[03:30] ---**
You didn't have to stand up.
**[03:32] ---**
Sure, but you're all older than me!
**[03:35] ---**
Track club says I have
to be polite to my *senpais*!
**[03:37] ---**
We're not your *senpais*, though.
**[03:41] ---**
I'm Uta Koizumi from Miyaji.
**[03:44] ---**
I'm in 6th grade, and I've been
acting since I was a toddler.
**[03:48] ---**
She's the *real senpai*.
**[03:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:50] ---**
Oh, yeah! I've seen you in
*Young Detective Chii-tan*! You're so good!
**[03:56] ---**
I mean, I *am* a professional actor.
**[04:01] ---**
I'm Shiori Yamaga, and I'm
in 9th grade. I'm from Aichi.
**[04:05] ---**
It's very nice to meet you all.
**[04:10] ---**
Okay, girls, listen up, now.
You can eat while I talk.
**[04:15] ---**
Your daily schedule will
be posted here every morning,
**[04:17] ---**
"9 AM: Event Shoot @ Studio,
11 AM: Meeting Shoot @ TBD"
so make sure you check it
when you wake up.
**[04:21] ---**
Aw, yeah, we're really
getting started now, huh?
**[04:25] ---**
This is really nerve-wracking.
**[04:27] ---**
Oh, jeez, I need to get
better at waking up...
**[04:30] ---**
That should be the least of your concerns.
**[04:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:34] ---**
There's something far more important.
**[04:36] ---**
What's our next audition going to be like?
**[04:46] ---**
This studio is so cool!
**[04:47] ---**
We're going live!
**[04:49] ---**
In five, four, three, two...
**[04:55] ---**
Welcome, one and all, to the
idol audition reality show,
**[04:59] ---**
*Selection Project*, the final round!
**[05:04] ---**
It's Sumipanda, in the flesh!
**[05:05] ---**
I've only seen her on TV before!
**[05:07] ---**
She looks kinda different, though?
**[05:11] ---**
Over the next month of summer break,
**[05:14] ---**
we're going to find out which
of these girls are built for stardom!
**[05:18] ---**
So give it your all and
don't have any hard feelings!
**[05:21] ---**
And we can't go forgetting
about our cameras!
**[05:26] ---**
They're focused on every aspect
of your day-to-day lives!
**[05:29] ---**
Who knows when and where
they'll be recording?
**[05:35] ---**
Who knows, one off-hand remark
could affect your final results!
**[05:41] ---**
Don't assume the only place
you have to sparkle is on the stage!
**[05:47] ---**
Okay, girls, look over here!
**[05:49] ---**
"Dancing"
"Singing "Band Instruments"
We've got three cards
here for each of you.
**[05:53] ---**
You'll come up on stage and
pick the card that's right for you!
**[06:01] ---**
This choice will impact your
results for the rest of the round,
**[06:05] ---**
so pick very carefully, mmkay?
**[06:09] ---**
Okay, let's get going and
see what you've all picked!
**[06:14] ---**
Put 'em up!
**[06:17] ---**
"Band Instruments"
**[06:19] ---**
"Dancing" "Dancing" "Band Instruments"
**[06:20] ---**
"Dancing" "Band Instruments"
"Band Instruments"
**[06:22] ---**
"Singing" "Dancing" "Singing" "Dancing"
**[06:25] ---**
Huh?
**[06:27] ---**
What's this all mean? Well, let me
announce the name of our first round!
**[06:32] ---**
"The Group Round!!"
The Group Round!
**[06:34] ---**
A *group* round?
**[06:35] ---**
Here are your rules:
**[06:37] ---**
Each group will form an idol unit
**[06:39] ---**
and create a performance
matching their card.
**[06:43] ---**
They'll pick a song to cover from
one of our previous *Selection* idols.
**[06:48] ---**
They'll also pick a unit name!
**[06:50] ---**
After that, each team will rehearse
their song and perform on stage,
**[06:52] ---**
and that performance will be
streamed live to the whole country!
**[06:55] ---**
If their team breaks 100,000 yells,
then they make it through the round!
**[07:01] ---**
If they don't,
then they'll be disqualified.
**[07:05] ---**
You hear that? Their fates are
in your cheers, lovely viewers!
**[07:10] ---**
Let's get this show on the road,
and get some results in black and white!
**[07:16] ---**
Okay! Let's start with our unit name!
**[07:19] ---**
We're focused on dance, so our name
should be like, a dance group name.
**[07:23] ---**
Dance.
**[07:24] ---**
And we've got four people, yeah?
**[07:27] ---**
What's the word for a
four-person group? Carpaccio?
**[07:31] ---**
--Car what?
--A quartet.
**[07:36] ---**
A group of four...
**[07:38] ---**
Maybe we should focus on
what kind of dance we're going to do,
**[07:43] ---**
and then pick out a name that suits it?
**[07:49] ---**
Well, first, let's figure out
which instruments we'll play.
**[07:54] ---**
I'll play guitar.
**[07:56] ---**
I pick bass. It's most important.
**[07:58] ---**
Wow, glad we split on that so easy.
**[08:02] ---**
I'll handle the drums.
**[08:04] ---**
We should make a list of all
the *Selection* songs to pick from.
**[08:09] ---**
What about our unit name?
**[08:11] ---**
What's special about our group...
**[08:14] ---**
We have the youngest member, Uta-*chan*.
**[08:18] ---**
Uta-*chan*?
**[08:19] ---**
Oh, sorry, we're not that close yet, huh?
**[08:22] ---**
What would you like me to call you?
**[08:30] ---**
This is so unfair.
**[08:32] ---**
Uh, should we start with
a unit name? How's that sound?
**[08:38] ---**
Why the hell do I have
to team up with *you*?
**[08:41] ---**
Let's work together and do our best!
**[08:43] ---**
Which one of us needs to "do their best"?
**[08:45] ---**
Uh, me?
**[08:49] ---**
If you mess up again, like you
did before, I'll be seriously pissed.
**[08:53] ---**
I won't mess up like that again, I'm sure!
**[08:56] ---**
I don't trust people who are
that sure of themselves.
**[09:00] ---**
Then, probably!
**[09:02] ---**
You'd better be damn sure
you don't mess up!
**[09:04] ---**
So should I be sure?
**[09:06] ---**
Forget it!
**[09:11] ---**
Ugh, I can't stand to watch
the two of you like this!
**[09:14] ---**
How much longer are you going to bicker?
You want us to put this on TV?
**[09:19] ---**
At this rate, you're gonna be waving
"buh-bye" to everyone after round one!
**[09:23] ---**
I understand,
**[09:24] ---**
but this isn't going to be that easy.
**[09:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:34] ---**
Everyone's already rehearsing?!
**[09:37] ---**
Well, duh. We've only got
ten days till we perform.
**[09:43] ---**
Master is hella good at guitar!
**[09:46] ---**
I'm just okay. Mistress' bass
skills weren't bad, either.
**[09:50] ---**
Of course they weren't.
**[09:51] ---**
But the biggest surprise was Mommy.
**[09:53] ---**
I never imagined you could
shred on the drums like that.
**[09:56] ---**
And they've all got nicknames!
They're way ahead of us!
**[10:04] ---**
Rena-*chan*, we gotta work hard, too!
We're teammates, after all!
**[10:10] ---**
We're not teammates. We're rivals.
**[10:13] ---**
This again?
**[10:15] ---**
Auditions are cutthroat.
We'll undermine our rivals to win.
**[10:19] ---**
Sure, but we're on a team this round.
If we lose, we're out.
**[10:24] ---**
You don't need to tell me that.
I already know.
**[10:30] ---**
You've barely touched your food!
**[10:33] ---**
I'm not hungry.
**[10:34] ---**
That's not okay!
At least eat half of it, c'mon!
**[10:39] ---**
Your parents are counting on me
to take good care of you.
**[10:43] ---**
So part of my job is making sure
you're kept in tip-top health!
**[10:48] ---**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[10:49] ---**
She's right! Don't let this
great food go to waste, eat up!
**[10:55] ---**
That's way too much food, Nodoka-*chan*!
**[11:01] ---**
Something's gotta change...
**[11:04] ---**
Huh?! Fifty thousand?
**[11:08] ---**
Whoa, you already have that many Yells?!
**[11:10] ---**
That's halfway to the goal!
**[11:15] ---**
How are we so much higher than you guys?
**[11:20] ---**
Why is Miyama-*san* and Hananoi-*san*'s
team doing far better than us?
**[11:24] ---**
Is it their looks? Is it just
'cause they're hotter?!
**[11:27] ---**
That's ridiculous. I mean, look at me.
**[11:31] ---**
Well, damn, Shiori.
**[11:33] ---**
Hiro-*chan*, Shio-*chan*, I think I know why!
**[11:37] ---**
They haven't even uploaded
any videos of us yet...
**[11:44] ---**
Could you knock next time?
**[11:46] ---**
Sorry. Suzune, are you guys doing okay?
**[11:50] ---**
Huh?
**[11:51] ---**
Wait, do you not know yet?
**[11:53] ---**
Rena-*chan*'s all over SEPIS right now.
**[11:55] ---**
"*SELECTION* Contestant Rena Hananoi
Younger Sister of Akari Amasawa"
Rena-*chan*'s all over SEPIS right now.
**[11:57] ---**
"*SELECTION* Contestant Rena Hananoi
Younger Sister of Akari Amasawa"
Huh?
**[11:59] ---**
"Akari Hananoi"
"Holy crap!"
**[12:09] ---**
And now, for the winner
of our inaugural *Selection*...
**[12:12] ---**
Our winner, the one, the only...
**[12:16] ---**
Entry number 4! Akari Amasawa!
**[12:21] ---**
Akari!
**[12:28] ---**
Hey, sis, could you help me
with this kanji homework?
**[12:41] ---**
I'm back!
**[12:42] ---**
There you are.
**[12:44] ---**
You're home early today.
**[12:46] ---**
Yeah, recording went really well.
**[12:49] ---**
Ugh, I'm so thirsty.
**[12:55] ---**
Hey, Rena. I heard you got a perfect
score on your kanji test yesterday!
**[12:59] ---**
Huh?
**[13:00] ---**
Way to go, Rena!
**[13:19] ---**
"Akari Amasawa Dead at 18 in Car Crash"
**[13:42] ---**
Sorry, I just had to come talk
to you about what's going on.
**[13:47] ---**
What?
**[13:48] ---**
I know who your sister is now.
**[13:51] ---**
Yeah, it's all over the internet.
**[13:54] ---**
It's true. Akari Amasawa's my sister.
**[13:57] ---**
I had no idea.
**[14:00] ---**
Why didn't you tell anyone?
**[14:02] ---**
Because I wanted to win
this thing on my own.
**[14:06] ---**
I don't want anyone to force
their expectations on me.
**[14:11] ---**
But I'm honestly kind of upset.
**[14:14] ---**
The second people found out
I was her little sister,
**[14:16] ---**
our Yell count skyrocketed.
**[14:19] ---**
But not because of anything I did.
It's all because of *her*.
**[14:24] ---**
That's not really a surprise.
Akari-*chan* was huge.
**[14:30] ---**
She put in all that effort alone.
**[14:33] ---**
She fought alone...
**[14:37] ---**
...she suffered alone...
**[14:40] ---**
We lived in the same house,
but I didn't know anything about her.
**[14:44] ---**
I didn't know how she felt
up on that stage.
**[14:48] ---**
But I wanted to know, so badly.
**[14:50] ---**
That's why I'm not going to lose here.
**[14:53] ---**
I'm going to stand on
the same stage she did.
**[15:04] ---**
The only reason I'm here
is because of Akari-*chan*.
**[15:08] ---**
Her songs fill me with courage.
She saved my life.
**[15:15] ---**
She made me want to
sing and dance, just like her.
**[15:23] ---**
So I'm not going to lose here, either!
**[15:31] ---**
Well, all right.
**[15:36] ---**
I'm sure as hell not losin' here!
**[15:39] ---**
Why's Hiromi-*senpai* so mad?
**[15:41] ---**
I think she's feeling competitive
after learning about Rena-*chan*!
**[15:45] ---**
She's Akari Amasawa's sister!
She's like, on another level!
**[15:49] ---**
Sure, but that's how she's so good.
I'm kind of jealous of her.
**[15:54] ---**
We'd better bust our butts
and get those Yells!
**[15:58] ---**
Today, let's figure out
who's going to sing.
**[16:02] ---**
I wanna sing.
**[16:04] ---**
Please, have you heard me sing?
**[16:07] ---**
I know way more about it than you do!
**[16:09] ---**
I'm going to sing.
**[16:12] ---**
No, I'm singing!
**[16:13] ---**
Nuh-uh!
**[16:14] ---**
Why don't we *all* sing?
**[16:25] ---**
Okay, that was great.
**[16:27] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[16:32] ---**
It's time to practice,
but Rena's not here.
**[16:35] ---**
Are the two of you still in that rut?
**[16:38] ---**
Maybe she thinks practice is later.
I'll go look for her!
**[16:45] ---**
Rena-*chan*!
**[16:46] ---**
It took some time for me
to choose some songs to pick from.
**[16:51] ---**
"Group Round Picks"
I thought we could do
an Akari Amasawa song.
**[16:54] ---**
"Group Round Picks"
Really?
**[16:56] ---**
Do you not want to?
**[16:58] ---**
Well, actually...
**[16:59] ---**
"Group Round Picks"
**[17:02] ---**
Glad we're on the same page.
**[17:06] ---**
For our unit name, I figured, since
both of us will be singing solos,
**[17:09] ---**
we could go with
"separate but together" as our theme.
**[17:13] ---**
Separate, but together...
**[17:15] ---**
And one last thing: I don't want
you to forget that we're rivals.
**[17:23] ---**
You got it.
**[17:33] ---**
Nagisa-*chan*?
**[17:34] ---**
Are you and Rena okay now, Suzu-*chan*?
**[17:37] ---**
It doesn't look like things
are going that well for you...
**[17:40] ---**
It's okay now.
Rena-*chan*'s my rival, that's all.
**[17:47] ---**
You sure you're gonna be okay?
**[17:50] ---**
A surprise performance?!
**[17:52] ---**
They're gonna stream it live right now!
**[17:55] ---**
But we've got tons of time
until the last day!
**[17:58] ---**
Excuse me, could you check over this?
**[18:01] ---**
Are they seriously doing this?
**[18:03] ---**
--Right? If they screw this up,
they might lose Yells.
--Suzune-*san* on mark one,
Rena-*san* on mark two, please!
**[18:09] ---**
But I love their outfits.
**[18:14] ---**
Okay, let's do a full run-through!
**[18:16] ---**
--That won't be necessary.
--What?
**[18:19] ---**
Wait, shouldn't you
rehearse at least once?!
**[18:22] ---**
We've practiced this a bunch!
We'll be fine!
**[18:25] ---**
But you've got to rehearse together!
**[18:28] ---**
It's fine. We're rivals, after all.
**[18:41] ---**
Going in five!
**[18:43] ---**
Four! Three! Two!
**[19:00] ---**

is a silent heartbeat ♬

it's ride or die ♬
**[19:11] ---**
♬ In my restricted field of view,
I smell something sweet ♬

♬ Still a chrysalis, but nevertheless ♬

**[19:33] ---**
--They've never practiced before, but...
--♬ You feel the same way I do ♬
**[19:36] ---**
--They're in perfect sync!

♬ Once you bathe
in the too-bright light ♬
**[19:44] ---**
♬ Set me free,
This is my stage ♬

my sparkling butterfly wings ♬

I'll keep singing out to you ♬

**[20:31] ---**
♬ Now set me free,
This is my stage ♬
**[20:34] ---**
♬ Once I start beating
my sparkling butterfly wings ♬
**[20:37] ---**
♬ There's no stopping me from flying ♬
**[20:42] ---**
♬ As long as I live,
I'll keep singing out to you ♬
**[20:47] ---**
♬ I've chased after my precious world ♬
**[20:50] ---**
♬ And I'll captivate it now,
Butterfly Bright ♬
**[21:00] ---**
Okay, that's a wrap!
**[21:12] ---**
Rena-*chan*!
**[21:20] ---**
At least you didn't fall
while we were live.
**[21:28] ---**
I was so worried!
**[21:34] ---**
*One day, even on the days
when it's raining hard*
**[21:41] ---**
*I hear a voice calling me*
**[21:44] ---**
*You were always by my side,
no matter what*
**[21:49] ---**
*To keep me focused forward
and moving ahead*
**[21:55] ---**
*If I get to stand on the
stage of my dreams one day*
**[22:01] ---**
*I know when I'm up there*
**[22:06] ---**
*I'll think of your face*
**[22:10] ---**
*Let my song, let my voice connect
with those precious memories*
**[22:17] ---**
*I never realized how much
they'd supported me*
**[22:21] ---**
*Let my song, let my voice ring out
far across the distance*
**[22:27] ---**
*Every last one of these warm emotions*
**[22:32] ---**
*Your feelings will give me hope*
**[22:37] ---**
*For my dreams to come true,
I need Only One Yell!*
**[22:56] ---**
No way! They've topped 100,000!
**[22:59] ---**
Wait, that means...
**[23:01] ---**
They've made it through the round!
**[23:03] ---**
Already?!
**[23:04] ---**
Well, that can't be good for you!
**[23:08] ---**
There's a certain
*Selection* curse, you see.
**[23:11] ---**
A curse?
**[23:13] ---**
What the heck?
**[23:14] ---**
We've *never* had a show where every
single girl made it past the first round!
**[23:19] ---**
So that means someone's
definitely gonna lose, huh?
**[23:24] ---**
And since this is a team round...
**[23:27] ---**
It'll either be you!
**[23:29] ---**
Or you!
**[23:32] ---**
Your fate'll be in black
and white soon enough!
**[23:39] ---**
