**[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.

"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.

I don't remember telling you
the date of my surgery...
**[16:19] ---**

**[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*!

**[16:57] ---**
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] ---**

**[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!

"How are you feeling right now?"

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.

Everyone knows how it feels
to work hard and make it to the end.

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.

that Akari-*chan* gave me.

This I want from the bottom of my heart.

worried about you.

That donor card wasn't mine.
I got it from my sister.
**[20:46] ---**
Because it's her card.

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!*
