[00:04] ---
    Let's put it in black and white, shall we?
[00:07] ---
    What's this final round all about?
[00:18] ---
    A final live concert by our
    seven remaining contestants!
[00:19] ---
    "Final Live Concert
    by the 7 Finalists"
    A final live concert by our
    seven remaining contestants!
[00:23] ---
    A concert?!
[00:24] ---
    Wait, seven contestants?
[00:27] ---
    Yep, two people here will not
    be able to sing in the final round!
[00:35] ---
    Wait... how is that getting decided?
[00:37] ---
    The nine of you will vote.
[00:42] ---
    We have to vote?
[00:44] ---
    Talk it over and decide
    which two of you are leaving!
[00:54] ---
    We can't do that!
[00:58] ---
    We've worked hard
    to make it here together!
[01:00] ---
    There's no way we can
    choose who has to leave!
[01:03] ---
    Are you sure? Because if you don't,
    you're all disqualified!
[01:08] ---
    Sumipan, I thought you were nice!
[01:11] ---
    Nothing we can do about it.
    These are the show's rules.
[01:17] ---
    What song will we be singing?
[01:20] ---
    The seven of us, I mean.
[01:22] ---
    What a great question.
[01:24] ---
    Here's your song for the final round,
    made just for you:
[01:32] ---
    "Glorious Days"!
[01:40] ---
    You have five days before the vote!
[01:42] ---
    Decide which seven
    are moving on before then!
[01:47] ---
    C'mon, girls, let's put it
    in black and white!
[02:09] ---
    Our eyes are focused
    on the stage we dreamed of

[02:13] ---
    Keep moving forward one step at a time
[02:17] ---
    Anytime, anywhere;
    I knew I could do more

[02:22] ---
    I could fly higher than yesterday
[02:26] ---
    Tears fall down our cheeks,
    we stumble and fall ourselves

[02:30] ---
    Sometimes we even wanted to run away
[02:34] ---
    But hold onto that hope, don't give up
[02:37] ---
    That's right, it all starts here
[02:41] ---
    Going! One day, I'll fly
[02:43] ---
    Going! anywhere I want
[02:46] ---
    Going! We always believed in this path
[02:49] ---
    So we'll keep going down it,
    no matter what happens

[02:57] ---
    Going! I'm sure our dream will come true
[03:00] ---
    Going! So never stop
[03:02] ---
    Going! chasing after that dream
[03:06] ---
    It's our promise,
    so let's reach that wonderful place

[03:12] ---
    We're meant to shine up there
[03:19] ---
    Our glorious days!
[03:27] ---
    Love it or hate it, in five days,
    two of them will be gonezo!
[03:31] ---
    Who will these girls pick to cast aside?
[03:34] ---
    Let's split them into their units from
    Round 1 and hear what their plans are!
[03:40] ---
    We need to get serious about this.
[03:43] ---
    Let's figure out which
    two members shouldn't move on.
[03:48] ---
    I can't just do that.
[03:50] ---
    I'm with Nodoka-senpai.
[03:53] ---
    We're all friends. We got here
    by working together.
[03:56] ---
    I know, but you have to
    remember that we're all rivals.
[04:01] ---
    We all came here knowing
    that people could get disqualified.
[04:06] ---
    Yeah, Nagi's right.
[04:09] ---
    But just bein' right
    doesn't make it any easier.
[04:14] ---
    Look, I feel the same way,
    but these are the rules! We have to!
[04:19] ---
    Just listen up, okay?
[04:21] ---
    I've got a plan that's
    guaranteed to keep us safe!
[04:24] ---
    Wait, really?
[04:26] ---
    If we have nine votes
    to get rid of two people,
[04:30] ---
    that means that if one girl
    gets at least four votes,
[04:31] ---
    she's definitely out.
[04:34] ---
    So if all four of us vote
    for the same person,
[04:37] ---
    the chances of one of us
    getting voted out goes down.
[04:41] ---
    Aww, c'mon! How can we
    single someone out like that?
[04:47] ---
    I also don't want to do
    something so blatantly unfair!
[04:50] ---
    Same here. Coordinating our votes
    beforehand is super sketch.
[04:57] ---
    Nagi?!
[04:59] ---
    Yeah, but...
[05:01] ---
    Everyone thinks I'm always scheming,
[05:04] ---
    so I'm definitely gonna get voted out!
[05:09] ---
    You don't know if that's true!
[05:10] ---
    Everyone likes you, Nagisa-senpai!
[05:15] ---
    In any case, you're right,
    we gotta get serious.
[05:19] ---
    We don't wanna feel guilty
    when all's said and done.
[05:22] ---
    We gotta do this fair and square.
[05:29] ---
    Well, shoot. How am I supposed
    to pick who should leave?
[05:34] ---
    I don't see why you couldn't.
[05:35] ---
    These are auditions. We should
    just pick whoever's the worst.
[05:40] ---
    How would we do that?
[05:42] ---
    Like... use one of those karaoke
    machines that scores your singing.
[05:46] ---
    I don't want to be judged solely
    on my singing capabilities, so no!
[05:51] ---
    Then how should we judge?
[05:53] ---
    Perhaps... with calligraphy,
    tea preparation, or horseback riding?
[05:57] ---
    Those are all things you're good at!
[06:00] ---
    I might as well make us
    do an acting competition!
[06:02] ---
    Come on, you two!
[06:04] ---
    I don't want to hear anything
    selfish out of the two of you now!
[06:08] ---
    Don't hit me!
[06:11] ---
    This is too cruel.
[06:15] ---
    They can't make the
    nine of us vote people out...
[06:21] ---
    Only seven of us will get to stay.
[06:23] ---
    It's a miracle nobody has been
    disqualified up until now.
[06:28] ---
    Yeah. We'd better get serious about this.
[06:32] ---
    These are auditions. We couldn't
    all make it to the final round.
[06:37] ---
    Only those who deserve to be
    on that stage will get there in the end.
[06:42] ---
    We've all fought hard to get here.
[06:45] ---
    Only the people we've acknowledged
    as worthy rivals will remain.
[06:48] ---
    All that matters is who puts on the
    best performance for our Cheerers.
[06:54] ---
    I'm not losing here.
[06:58] ---
    I want to know what
    my sister saw up there.
[07:02] ---
    How it felt to stand up on that stage.
[07:06] ---
    So I'm going to get up on
    the same stage as Akari Amasawa.
[07:11] ---
    Right.
[07:16] ---
    That was delicious.
[07:19] ---
    B-Boy, this lunch is way
    more tense than usual.
[07:23] ---
    You can have my cherries, Non-chan.
[07:25] ---
    You're not gonna eat it?
[07:27] ---
    I'm not hungry.
[07:29] ---
    Thanks.
[07:32] ---
    Two lonely cherries, rolling then falling
    downwards, gone with a goodbye.
[07:36] ---
    What's with the haiku?
[07:37] ---
    Like the falling cherries,
    two of us will be dropped.
[07:42] ---
    I wanted to capture
    that absurdity in a poem.
[07:47] ---
    How could we not worry
    about this decision?
[07:51] ---
    Right? All of us are carefully
    thinking who we'll vote off.
[07:56] ---
    Hey, why don't we think of it like this?
[08:00] ---
    Instead of picking the two we drop,
    we're picking the seven we keep!
[08:04] ---
    That's, like, the same thing.
[08:06] ---
    Ao, I get where you're coming from.
[08:08] ---
    I appreciate your positivity.
    You can sit down.
[08:12] ---
    Okay.
[08:14] ---
    Why couldn't they just have
    left it up to the Cheerers,
[08:17] ---
    like they have up until now?
[08:19] ---
    It'd be way fairer
    if we just let the Yells decide.
[08:24] ---
    Why do we have to make the decision?
[08:28] ---
    Probably to shape us into professionals.
[08:31] ---
    We're not a fun club full of friends.
[08:34] ---
    If we're going to be
    professional entertainers,
[08:37] ---
    we need to be able to make
    tough decisions on our own.
[08:43] ---
    "4 Days Until Vote"
[08:47] ---
    "How Does Everyone Feel About the Vote?"
[08:51] ---
    "What are you listening to?"
[08:54] ---
    Oh, our song, "Glorious Days."
[08:58] ---
    I don't know who's gonna get voted out,
[09:01] ---
    but I'm gonna trust that I get to stay,
    and will get to sing this.
[09:07] ---
    I've gotta do it for my Cheerers, too.
[09:10] ---
    That's why I hope you'll
    keep cheerin' me on, guys!
[09:14] ---
    "How do you feel about having to vote?"
[09:18] ---
    Some have said the decision
    process is overly cruel,
[09:21] ---
    but I can't say I agree.
[09:24] ---
    From the beginning with the Block tryouts,
[09:26] ---
    we've won and risen above tens
    of thousands of other hopefuls.
[09:30] ---
    We're no more special than any of them.
[09:34] ---
    All I can do is move forward
    and hone my performance
[09:38] ---
    to ensure that I remain in the end.
[09:40] ---
    "Do you think you'll
    make it to the seven?"
[09:44] ---
    If this were a race, I don't know
    where the finish line would be.
[09:48] ---
    There was one time when
    I got my best times in practice,
[09:50] ---
    but didn't do half as well
    in the actual meet.
[09:53] ---
    Ever since then, I've lived by the creed,
[09:57] ---
    "stay calm, and be yourself."
[09:59] ---
    That means even now, I might not
    know how things will turn out,
[10:03] ---
    but I've got to be myself and press on.
[10:06] ---
    After all, this is the world
    I chose to jump into, y'know?
[10:13] ---
    "Schedule"
[10:16] ---
    "Interview Recording: Suzune Miyama"
[10:18] ---
    I'm tomorrow at 3.
[10:21] ---
    I gotta go second.
[10:24] ---
    Hey, do you know what
    you're gonna talk about?
[10:27] ---
    No idea. I figured
    I'd just go with the flow.
[10:30] ---
    And you're fine with that?
[10:31] ---
    You know this interview
    could be super important!
[10:34] ---
    Huh? Why?
[10:36] ---
    It's basically, like,
    your election speech!
[10:40] ---
    Wait, really?
[10:42] ---
    We're all gonna watch them
    and decide who we're dropping.
[10:46] ---
    Now that you mention it, you're right.
[10:48] ---
    If you say something messed up,
    everyone will pick you.
[10:51] ---
    You should focus on how to
    convince everyone they need you.
[10:58] ---
    Shoot, it's so late! I've gotta
    put my script together!
[11:02] ---
    G'night!
[11:03] ---
    Good night.
[11:05] ---
    Convince them they need me...
[11:10] ---
    Only those who deserve to be on
    that stage will get there in the end.
[11:19] ---
    Hey, Suzune, did you take a bath yet?
[11:22] ---
    Not yet.
[11:23] ---
    Want to join us, then?
[11:25] ---
    Uh...
[11:27] ---
    Only if you want to.
[11:31] ---
    Sure! Hold on, let me get my stuff!
[11:40] ---
    My sister gave tons
    of interviews like these.
[11:56] ---
    What did she feel when
    she stood up on that stage?
[11:57] ---
    "Scenery of My Life"
    What did she feel when
    she stood up on that stage?
[12:03] ---
    Rena-chan!
[12:04] ---
    Yes?
[12:06] ---
    Your family sent you a package.
[12:11] ---
    Thanks.
[12:13] ---
    It always feels so magical
    to get a box from home, doesn't it?
[12:17] ---
    You haven't been away from home
    this long before, right?
[12:22] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[12:23] ---
    If I were your mom, I'd be worried, too.
[12:26] ---
    I understand why they'd
    want to send you gifts.
[12:29] ---
    Bye.
[12:32] ---
    What's in here?
[12:40] ---
    I got your package.
[12:41] ---
    Good.
[12:42] ---
    You really are watching.
[12:44] ---
    Of course I am.
[12:45] ---
    "Graduation"
    Why wouldn't I?
[12:47] ---
    "Graduation"
    Because of what happened to Akari.
[12:49] ---
    Because of what happened to Akari.
[12:51] ---
    I know it must not be easy,
[12:53] ---
    but this is the path you chose.
    Give it your all, Rena.
[12:57] ---
    I will.
[12:59] ---
    So what's the thing you sent me?
[12:59] ---
    "Call me before opening - Mom"
    So what's the thing you sent me?
[13:01] ---
    "Call me before opening - Mom"
    Something I'd planned on
    giving you when you were older.
[13:05] ---
    "Call me before opening - Mom"
    You see, we've been getting letters.
[13:09] ---
    Letters?
[13:10] ---
    From someone who still
    has Akari in their heart.
[13:14] ---
    So they're from a fan?
[13:15] ---
    Just give them a read. I think
    it's important you read them now.
[13:21] ---
    I've got to go. We're rooting for you.
[13:23] ---
    Thanks.
[13:29] ---
    "to the doner familee"
[13:35] ---
    "To the Donor Family"
[13:40] ---
    I'm gonna go get some fresh air.
[13:43] ---
    Don't go catching a cold on us.
[13:45] ---
    G'night!
[13:52] ---
    It's been three years since you
    gave me your heart and the gift of life.
[14:01] ---
    My body still hasn't rejected it,
[14:06] ---
    so I'm able to live
    a happy and healthy life.
[14:10] ---
    I don't think I expressed this
    in my previous letters,
[14:13] ---
    but I've always had this dream.
[14:18] ---
    I wanted to sing the songs
    I loved and dance to them.
[14:23] ---
    You're the reason I could get closer
    to making that dream come true.
[14:28] ---
    Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,
    for giving me that chance.
[14:34] ---
    I'll treasure this life you gave me,
[14:36] ---
    and use it to bring hope
    to as many people as I can.
[14:42] ---
    Thank you so much.
[14:55] ---
    It's late! I think Rena's
    up first tomorrow...
[15:01] ---
    Rena-chan?
[15:03] ---
    Can we talk?
[15:04] ---
    It's almost past curfew.
    Can we talk inside?
[15:08] ---
    I just have one question.
[15:12] ---
    Do you remember the date
    of your heart transplant?
[15:16] ---
    Yeah, why?
[15:19] ---
    Three years ago in June, right?
[15:21] ---
    Right. June 11th.
[15:25] ---
    --Let me see my sister! Akari!
[15:26] ---
    --Rena! Rena, listen, okay?
    --Let me see my sister! Akari!
[15:29] ---
    Akari is an organ donor. They need
    to operate on her right away.
[15:35] ---
    An organ donor? Then...
[15:37] ---
    This is what Akari wanted.
[15:40] ---
    She wanted to give others hope.
[15:40] ---
    "Operation in Progress"
    She wanted to give others hope.
[15:51] ---
    "Ebisu Culture Contest: 1st Place Singer"

    "Scenery of My Life"
[16:04] ---
    Akari...
[16:07] ---
    Rena-chan?
[16:09] ---
    Rena-chan!
[16:11] ---
    I don't remember telling you
    the date of my surgery...
[16:19] ---
    Rena-chan?!
[16:26] ---
    Rena-san's here!
[16:28] ---
    Perfect. Let's get the interview started.
[16:30] ---
    Thanks for coming, Rena-chan!
[16:34] ---
    You all right? Get enough sleep?
[16:36] ---
    Oh, sorry, I'm not feeling well.
[16:39] ---
    We can push the interview until later.
[16:41] ---
    I'm fine.
[16:43] ---
    You sure? Okay, let's start then.
[16:47] ---
    Hey, is it okay if I watch?
[16:49] ---
    Sure.
[16:51] ---
    You got this, Rena-chan!
[16:55] ---
    Rena-chan?
[16:57] ---
    I'm sorry. Can we please
    do the interview later?
[17:02] ---
    I apologize for the inconvenience.
[17:04] ---
    Okay, don't worry.
[17:06] ---
    Let's go to the next shot on deck, then.
[17:08] ---
    Got it. Let's move to the roof, people!
[17:12] ---
    Rena-chan?
[17:15] ---
    Rena-chan!
[17:16] ---
    Let go of me!
[17:19] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:23] ---
    I'm sorry, did I say
    something wrong last night?
[17:28] ---
    It's nothing.
[17:29] ---
    But you're acting weird!
[17:31] ---
    I told you, it's nothing!
[17:34] ---
    Just leave me alone.
[17:43] ---
    "How Does Everyone Feel About the Vote?"
[17:46] ---
    "How are you feeling right now?"
[17:47] ---
    It's easy to just say it's hard,
    or crazy, but like...
[17:51] ---
    I have to get through this, y'know?
[17:55] ---
    If we're gonna perform as a group,
    we need to trust each other,
[18:00] ---
    and acknowledge each other's strengths.
[18:03] ---
    Maybe this is their way of testing
    those bonds between us.
[18:12] ---
    But I believe that with
    the members who're here now,
[18:16] ---
    no matter who makes it through
    or gets left behind,
[18:19] ---
    we'll have the best group ever!
[18:23] ---
    I don't want to disappoint
    all the people who've given us Yells.
[18:28] ---
    I think that's the most
    important thing to us right now.
[18:33] ---
    "Why 'US' and not 'ME'?"
[18:35] ---
    "Why 'US' and not 'ME'?"
    Because that's what we're
    all thinking, not just me.
[18:42] ---
    Everyone knows how it feels
    to work hard and make it to the end.
[18:47] ---
    This time, it's our turn
    to send out Yells for our Cheerers.
[18:54] ---

    "Rena-chan"
    Thank you for--
[19:05] ---
    What's up with Rena?
[19:07] ---
    I heard one of the staffers say
    she cancelled her interview.
[19:12] ---
    Why?
[19:13] ---
    She's usually so strict on
    sticking to the schedule, too.
[19:17] ---
    How peculiar.
[19:20] ---
    I told you, it's nothing!
[19:29] ---
    Everyone knows how it feels
    to work hard and make it to the end.
[19:33] ---
    This time, it's our turn
    to send out Yells for our Cheerers.
[19:39] ---
    " Interview"
    I came all this way with the hope
    that Akari-chan gave me.
[19:43] ---
    Now I want to be someone
    who can give hope to other people.
[19:49] ---
    This I want from the bottom of my heart.
[20:05] ---
    Rena-chan!
[20:09] ---
    What?
[20:10] ---
    Let's have dinner together.
[20:14] ---
    Look... everyone's really
    worried about you.
[20:18] ---
    Why'd it have to be you?
[20:20] ---
    Huh?
[20:22] ---
    Why?!
[20:24] ---
    Rena-chan?
[20:32] ---
    "To the Donor Family"
[20:34] ---
    "To the Donor Family"
    Wait...
[20:36] ---
    Why do you have this letter?
[20:39] ---
    That donor card wasn't mine.
    I got it from my sister.
[20:46] ---
    Because it's her card.
[20:49] ---
    So the person who saved my life was...
[20:56] ---
    Akari Amasawa.
[21:01] ---
    No...
[21:03] ---
    Why? Why are you here?
[21:07] ---
    I've worked so hard!
[21:10] ---
    I gave it everything I had
    to stand on her stage!
[21:14] ---
    I'm sorry, I...
[21:17] ---
    So how did you get here?
    Was it your hard work and talent alone?
[21:22] ---
    Huh?
[21:24] ---
    Or is it because my sister is with you?
[21:27] ---
    Is it because you had her help?!
[21:31] ---
    Wait!
[21:46] ---
    One day, even on the days
    when it's raining hard

[21:53] ---
    I hear a voice calling me
[21:56] ---
    You were always by my side,
    no matter what

[22:01] ---
    To keep me focused forward
    and moving ahead

[22:07] ---
    If I get to stand on the
    stage of my dreams one day

[22:13] ---
    I know when I'm up there
[22:18] ---
    I'll think of your face
[22:22] ---
    Let my song, let my voice connect
    with those precious memories

[22:29] ---
    I never realized how much
    they'd supported me

[22:33] ---
    Let my song, let my voice ring out
    far across the distance

[22:39] ---
    Every last one of these warm emotions
[22:44] ---
    Your feelings will give me hope
[22:49] ---
    For my dreams to come true,
    I need Only One Yell!

[23:27] ---
    "your heart"
