[00:08] Kokona
A World Dai Star?
[00:10] Shizuka
I know you'll be one someday, Kokona.
[00:12] Kokona
No way.

Regarding Your Audition
Hello, Kokona Otori-sama.
Thank you very much for auditioning with us.
After careful deliberation, we regret to inform you that
you have not passed our audition.
[00:17] Kokona
they told me I lacked Sense.
[00:19] Shizuka
Well, I disagree.
[00:24] Shizuka
You don't believe them either,
do you, Kokona?
[00:27] Kokona
Well...
[00:32] Shizuka
Do you know what kind of people
become World Dai Stars?
[00:36] Kokona
Huh? Um...
[00:38] Kokona
People who are really good at acting...
and singing and dancing...
[00:43] Kokona
People so dazzling that you just
can't take your eyes off of them?
[00:47] Shizuka
That's not it at all!
[00:53] Shizuka
They're people who believe
in their future selves.
[01:03] Shizuka
You can hear them, can't you?
The voices calling your name.
[01:23] Kokona
I wonder if I'll ever make it...
[01:25] Kokona
Can I really become a World Dai Star?
[01:32] Shizuka
You will, Kokona.
[01:35] Shizuka
I'll make it happen.

I mean, who wouldn't be?

I've always wanted to join SIRIUS,
[02:47] Kokona
and I've already gotten
two tryout rejections.
[02:50] Shizuka
There you go getting down on yourself.
[02:52] Shizuka
You've rehearsed loads for this,
[02:55] Shizuka
so you need to go in full of confidence!
[02:58] Kokona
Hup...
[03:00] Kokona
Yeah, you're right.
[03:01] Kokona
I finally got to a callback,
so I've gotta do my best.
[03:11] Kokona
There we go.

Kokona.
[03:15] Kokona
Oh, sorry. Did I wake you?

Leave no room for regrets.
[03:27] Kokona
Right!
[03:28] Kokona
Off I go!
[03:34] Kokona (Romeo)
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
[03:36] Kokona (Romeo)
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
[03:40] Kokona (Romeo)
Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!
[03:46] Kokona (Romeo)
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[03:51] Kokona (Romeo)
Forsooth... this is true love!
[03:55] Shizuka
You're overacting.
[03:57] Kokona
Huh? You think so?
[03:59] Shizuka
You sound more like a fool than a lover.
[04:02] Shizuka
Romeo's actually quite the playboy,
[04:05] Shizuka
yet in this moment, he feels his destiny.
[04:08] Shizuka
He'd probably sound way more exhilarated.
[04:11] Kokona
Destiny? Exhilarated?
[04:17] Kokona
This is...
[04:18] Kokona
True! Love!
[04:20] Shizuka
Congrats. Now you're a bigger fool.
[04:22] Kokona
That's so mean!
[04:25] Kokona
I just don't get it.
I've never been in love before.
[04:29] Shizuka
You've never been a murderer
or a detective either, have you?
[04:33] Shizuka
But even so, an actor must
play those roles convincingly.
[04:36] Kokona
Then how would you do the scene, Shizuka-chan?
[04:39] Shizuka
Huh? Me?
[04:54] Shizuka
Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!
[05:00] Shizuka
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[05:04] Shizuka
Forsooth...
[05:07] Shizuka
This is true love!
[05:26] Kokona
Whoa! That was amazing, Shizuka-chan!
[05:29] Shizuka
You're supposed to be doing it.
[05:31] Kokona
If only you could
audition too, Shizuka-chan...

[09:16] Kokona
Yeah!
[09:17] Kokona
The SIRIUS troupe mainly does musicals.
[09:20] Kokona
They're so elegant and wonderful!
I've seen them so many times!
[09:24] Kokona
This is where I first realized
I wanted to be an actor!
[09:29] Kathrina
So you're auditioning, too?
[09:31] Kokona
Yeah!
[09:33] Kokona
Talk about a coincidence!
[09:35] Kokona
It's nice to formally meet you.
I'm Kokona Otori.
[09:38] Kokona
Let's do our best so we can stand on
that stage together, Kathrina-chan!
[09:43] Kathrina
I'm not going to shake your hand.
I'm fairly certain I won't see you again.

[10:23] Kokona
That was great, Shizuka-chan!
You're so good.
[10:26] Shizuka

SIRIUS's The Little Mermaid!
[12:49] Shizuka
You've totally practiced this one before!
[12:51] Kokona
Y-Yeah...
[12:54] Hiiragi
Act 2.
[12:56] Hiiragi
The Little Mermaid swims to
the Sea Witch's lair
[12:59] Hiiragi
and asks to be made into a human.
[13:02] Hiiragi
The Sea Witch promises to do so
[13:05] Hiiragi
in exchange for her beautiful voice.
[13:08] Kathrina
Who's the Sea Witch?
[13:10] Hiiragi
I'll be reading the part.
[13:13] Kokona
Hiiragi-san's doing it?
[13:15] Hiiragi
You can keep your scripts with you.
Come up onto the stage.
[13:19] Hiiragi
Let's start with number 1.
[13:21] Auditionee C
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[13:25] Panda
Reading with Hiiragi-san, eh?
[13:27] Sasuga
I wonder if the boss plans to fail them all.
[13:30] Auditionee C
I'm ready.
[13:32] Hiiragi
All right.
[13:34] Hiiragi
Let's get started, then.
[13:42] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Once you become human,
you can never be a mermaid again.
[13:48] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
And should the prince marry another girl,
[13:53] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
your heart will be ripped apart.
[13:56] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Without even a moment to repent,
[13:59] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
you'll disappear into sea-foam.
[14:07] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Do you still want to be human?
[14:12] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
I'm asking you if you're prepared for that!
[14:19] Hiiragi
Next.
[14:20] Auditionee D
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[14:25] Auditionee D
I'm prepared... S-Sea Witch...
[14:28] Hiiragi
Next.
[14:29] Auditionee E
I'm prepared! Sea Witch,
what do you require of me?
[14:34] Hiiragi
Next...
[14:35] Auditionee F
Yes, ma'am!
[14:36] Shizuka
If they can't keep up with Hiiragi-san,
[14:38] Shizuka
they can't express the
Little Mermaid's true strength.
[14:41] Shizuka
But if they push too much,
they come off too strong.
[14:46] Kokona
This is what a Dai Star's acting looks like...
[14:51] Hiiragi
Next, number 16. Kathrina Griebel.
[15:32] Kathrina
No set. Not even a backdrop.
[15:36] Kathrina
Only a small spotlight
shining on center stage.
[15:40] Kathrina
She's hiding in the shadows to capture
the Sea Witch's unpredictability.
[15:45] Kathrina
No wonder the girls can't hold their own.
[15:48] Kathrina
But they're all third-rate.
[15:55] Kathrina
I'm ready whenever.
[16:09] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Once you become human,
you can never be a mermaid again.
[16:15] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
And should the prince marry another girl,
[16:21] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
your heart will be ripped apart.
[16:24] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Without even a moment to repent,
[16:27] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
you'll disappear into sea-foam.
[16:30] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Do you still want to be human?
[16:34] Kathrina (Little Mermaid)
I do...
[16:36] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
Are you truly certain?
[16:44] Sasuga
Did she forget her lines?
[16:47] Panda
No, she's still in character.
[16:58] Kathrina (Little Mermaid)
I'm prepared! Sea Witch,
what do you require of me?
[17:07] Panda
That pause was impeccable.
[17:09] Panda
She used the spotlight to her advantage,
transforming from the Little Mermaid
[17:14] Panda
to a woman in love with the prince.
[17:17] Sasuga
I think we found our promising new talent.
[17:20] Hiiragi
Thank you. You can head back.
[17:24] Hiiragi
Next up is our last candidate,
[17:25] Hiiragi
Kokona Otori.
[17:28] Kokona
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[17:30] Shizuka
You've got this, Kokona. You'll be fine.
[17:31] Kokona
What do I do?
Maybe I can't do this... Because I...
[17:33] Shizuka
You're going to be a Dai Star, aren't you?
[17:35] Shizuka
Kokona? Are you listening?
[17:36] Kokona
don't have it...
[17:39] Judge A
You have no Sense.
[17:40] Judge B
You're not bad, but...
[17:42] Judge C
In this day in age, you have to have Sense.
[17:46] Hiiragi
What's the matter?
[17:49] Hiiragi
Can't play the part?
[17:52] Kokona
I—
[17:53] Niizuma
You mustn't look so scary, Hiiragi-san.
[17:56] Niizuma
Everyone will tense up.
[17:59] Hiiragi
Yae? What are you doing here?

Yae Niizuma
[18:01] Niizuma
I came to rehearse
for our next performance,
[18:04] Niizuma
but I can't find Panda-san or the others,
[18:06] Niizuma
so I'm looking for them.
[18:10] Auditionees
It's Yae-chan!
[18:11] Auditionees
She's so cute!
[18:13] Niizuma
Miss, would you mind if I
did this scene with you?
[18:17] Kokona
Huh? Um...
[18:19] Hiiragi
What do you think you're doing?
[18:20] Niizuma
It's only natural to help those in need.
[18:25] Niizuma
That's what will lead to world peace.
[18:35] Hiiragi
All right.
[18:38] Hiiragi
However...
[18:39] Hiiragi
If Yae's involved, we'll
need to make some changes.
[18:42] Hiiragi
You'll be playing the Little Mermaid, Yae.
[18:44] Niizuma
Okay.
[18:45] Kokona
Huh?!
[18:46] Hiiragi
Act 3.
[18:48] Hiiragi
The prince tells the Little Mermaid
he's to be engaged in a few days.
[18:52] Hiiragi
He's marrying a princess from a neighboring
kingdom who saved him from drowning.
[18:58] Hiiragi
The Little Mermaid longs to tell him
it was really her, but she has no voice.
[19:02] Hiiragi
She tries desperately to convey her
feelings, yet can't get through.
[19:07] Hiiragi
You'll be playing the prince.
[19:11] Panda
This is the crucial emotional moment
leading up to the climax.
[19:16] Panda
One wrong step,
[19:17] Panda
and the audience's hate for the
moronic prince will ruin the scene.
[19:20] Panda
Hiiragi-san's being cruel.
[19:23] Sasuga
That's what I love about the boss, though.
[19:27] Niizuma
What kind of performer
do you want to be, miss?
[19:32] Niizuma
If you focus too much on being "good,"
[19:34] Niizuma
you'll get so stiff you won't be able to speak.
[19:37] Niizuma
What's important is what
you want to be onstage.
[19:41] Kokona
What I want to be?
[19:44] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
The world you've shown me
is just so beautiful.
[19:50] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
If only I could tell you how I really feel...
[19:50] Kokona
What I've wanted to be...
[19:58] (Flashback) Shizuka
They're people who believe
in their future selves.
[20:04] Kokona (Prince)
What is it? What are you trying to say?
[20:08] Kokona (Prince)
I know! You must be happy for me, too!
[20:12] Kokona (Prince)
I'm just the luckiest man alive!
[20:15] Kokona (Prince)
To think that the princess
who saved me that stormy night
[20:19] Kokona (Prince)
is going to marry me!
[20:22] Kathrina
She wasn't like that at the station.
[20:24] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
No... I'm the one who saved you!
[20:28] Kokona (Prince)
What?
[20:29] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
I'm the one who saved you!
[20:31] Kokona (Prince)
What are you trying to tell me?
[20:35] Kokona (Prince)
Did something painful happen?
[20:40] Kokona (Prince)
Are you sad?
[20:47] Kokona (Prince)
It's okay.

I'm here with you.
[20:51] Kokona (Prince)
I'll always be on your side.
[20:56] Shizuka
I told you so.
I knew you could do it, Kokona.
[21:09] Kokona
Thanks so much for earlier!
[21:12] Niizuma
Were you waiting around
just to tell me that?
[21:14] Kokona
Yeah! If it weren't for you,
I would've been sent packing.
[21:19] Kokona
Oh, um...
[21:20] Niizuma
I'm Yae. Yae Niizuma.
[21:23] Kokona
Yae-chan...
[21:26] Kokona
Even if I don't pass this round,
I'm going to audition for SIRIUS again!
[21:30] Kokona
And then, one day we can...
[21:31] Shizuka
Hey, Kokona! Why are you talking
like you're going to fail?!
[21:34] Kokona
Hey! This part's really
important, so butt out!
[21:38] Niizuma
You're a strange one.
[21:50] Hiiragi
Kokona Otori played the prince
from The Little Mermaid*.*
[21:54] Hiiragi
But...
[21:55] Kokona
Just thinking about what I'd have
done if Yae-chan hadn't shown up...
[21:56] Hiiragi
That wasn't her take on the prince.
[21:59] Hiiragi
Who exactly were you playing?

[04:07] Shamo
You're going to make me blush,

[04:16] Shamo
I happened to see your performance
during your audition, Kokona-chan.
[04:20] Kokona
Really?
[04:22] Shamo
I found it quite mysterious.
[04:26] Kokona
I, uh, ended up panicking.
[04:30] Kokona
I'm honestly not sure how I passed.
[04:34] Shamo

I can't sleep unless I'm alone.
[05:21] Kathrina
It's part of a troupe's job to ensure
its talent is taken care of, no?
[05:25] Hiiragi
On the stage, you may end up playing
family members or lovers.
[05:28] Hiiragi
It's probably not a bad idea
to get to know one another.
[05:32] Kathrina
We may also end up playing mortal enemies.
[05:35] Hiiragi
And hopefully you'll be able to find
something to inspire that, too.
[05:41] Kokona
Um, Kathrina-chan?
[05:43] Kokona
I'm totally okay with this.
[05:46] Kokona
I promise I don't toss and turn much.
[05:48] Kokona
Oh, I don't snore either.

You do talk in your sleep, though.
[05:51] Kokona
I m-might talk in my sleep a bit, though!
SIGN Just be quiet.
[05:55] Kokona
What did you just say?!
[05:58] Kathrina
All right, fine. I came all
this way to become a Dai Star.
[06:03] Kathrina
I suppose I can deal with this.
[06:06] Kokona
A Dai Star?
[06:08] Kathrina
So, when's our next show?

[06:13] Hiiragi

[06:40] Kathrina

[06:42] Kathrina
I'll be taking the lead role.

[06:46] Hiiragi
will be playing the lady-in-waiting

[06:59] Hiiragi
Don't disappoint me.

[07:08] Shizuka
I wonder if Yae-chan's playing
Princess Kaguya in the real deal.
[07:11] Kokona
Yae-chan as Princess Kaguya...
[07:14] Shizuka
So good...
[07:16] Kokona
She could ask me to do anything!
Even the impossible!

Hey, could you quit talking to yourself?
[07:21] Kokona
O-Oh, I'm sorry!
[07:23] Kokona
Um...
[07:26] Kokona
Won't this make it harder to chat?
[07:28] Shizuka
And what's up with all the luggage?
[07:30] Shizuka
It's really cramped over here.
[07:32] Kokona
Hey, you want to be a Dai Star too,
right, Kathrina-chan?
[07:36] Kokona
Is your goal to be a World Dai Star?!
[07:39] Kathrina
That's, like, every actor's goal.
[07:42] Kathrina
I'll give you some great life advice.
[07:44] Kokona
What?
[07:45] Kathrina
You can't see the forest for the trees.
[07:47] Kathrina
A wannabe actor like you talking about
[07:49] Kathrina
being a Dai Star,
let alone a World Dai Star...
[07:52] Kathrina
Wouldn't you consider that
rather presumptuous?
[07:57] Kathrina
Dai Stars can fill theaters all by themselves.
[08:01] Kathrina
You can't become one simply
because you want to.
[08:03] Kathrina
Only the chosen few make it.
[08:06] Kathrina
And you're not one of them.
[08:08] Kathrina
You and I are competing for roles.
We're not friends.

Don't bother me more than necessary.

Using "-san" is just so stiff.

Also, no need to be formal with us at all.

We're younger than you anyway.
[08:58] Panda
Right, Sassu?
[08:59] Sasuga
The only things that should be stiff
are concrete and nata de coco.
[09:03] Kokona
Huh? Nata de coco?
Wait, is it even that stiff?
[09:07] Sasuga
Now I want some nata de coco...
[09:11] Panda
You don't need to take the
things Sassu says too seriously.

[13:07] Shizuka
This is the story of the ill-fated
Princess Kaguya, who was born of bamboo.
[13:11] Shizuka
It's Japan's oldest sci-fi story.
[13:14] Shizuka
In the play, Kaguya and her attendant Misao
grow up like sisters
[13:19] Shizuka
and dread the day they
will eventually have to part.
[13:23] Shizuka
That's SIRIUS's take on
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
[13:27] Kokona
Next up is the audition scene.
[13:30] Shizuka
Yeah.
[13:34] Niizuma (Kaguya)
Hey, have you ever seen
a bamboo blossom, Misao?
[13:38] Panda (Misao)
A bamboo blossom?
[13:40] Niizuma (Kaguya)
The books say they bloom
only once every 120 years.
[13:46] Panda (Misao)
Once every 120 years?
[13:52] Niizuma (Kaguya)
I hope we can see one together someday.
[14:15] Kokona
How pretty...
[14:25] Kokona
Her singing voice sounds so sweet,
but I feel sad for some reason.
[14:31] Shizuka
This is a far more mature performance
than the innocent act she had at the start.
[14:36] Shizuka
The song conveys her emotional turmoil
and sorrow over the impending goodbye.
[14:40] Shizuka
Just listening to it makes
us feel her pain as well.
[14:49] Kokona
Yae-chan really is amazing.
[14:57] Kokona
I wonder if I can perform like that, too...

It's interesting, though.
[15:12] Sasuga
If it were any normal play,
it easily would've been Kathrina.
[15:16] Panda
Well, Japanese culture is pretty unique.
[15:19] Panda
For Kathrin, even the act of holding a tea cup
[15:22] Panda
may come off as mannered and
make the performance unnatural.
[15:26] Sasuga
She can fool us with her line reads,
but not with her mannerisms.
[15:30] Sasuga
Having to become thoroughly
Japanese inside of a week...
[15:34] Sasuga
Pretty tragic.
[15:37] Panda
Meanwhile, Koko-chan honestly lacks skill.
[15:41] Panda
I wonder if what we saw
at her audition was a fluke.
[15:45] Panda
Personally, I'm wondering why Hiiragi-san
overruled all objections and passed her.
[15:51] Panda
It's a little mystery.
[15:53] Sasuga
The key to victory is what lies within them...
[15:58] Sasuga

Well, it was all right.
[16:16] Shizuka
But if you're asking if it's enough
to beat Kathrina... I'm not sure.
[16:22] Kokona
Yeah... This is hard.
[16:25] Kokona
I wonder what Kaguya's thinking.
[16:28] Kokona
Oh, but the lady-in-waiting
role is pretty nice, too!
[16:32] Shizuka
Are you joking?
[16:33] Shizuka
You need to go for the lead role
if you want to be a Dai Star.
[16:37] Kokona
Right...
[16:39] Shizuka
You were totally different
at the SIRIUS audition.
[16:43] Shizuka
Your whole demeanor, enthusiasm...
I can't put it into words.
[16:48] Shizuka
If you can do that again,
you might be able to pull it off.
[16:52] Kokona
You mean act like I did?
[16:56] Shizuka
Tell me, Kokona.
How did you embody the prince then?
[17:01] Kokona
Back then...
[17:03] Kokona
Yae-chan asked me what kind
of performer I wanted to be,
[17:07] Kokona
so I tried to imagine how
you'd play the role, Shizuka-chan.
[17:11] Shizuka
Me?
[17:13] Shizuka
Huh... So you want to be like me?
[17:18] Shizuka
In that case, why don't you try
doing the same thing again?
[17:22] Kokona
Huh?
[17:23] Shizuka
We'll plan out how to play the part,
and you'll see it through.
[17:26] Shizuka
The both of us will play the role!
[17:28] Kokona
The both of us?
[17:29] Shizuka
How about it?
[17:34] Kokona
How would you perform
this scene, Shizuka-chan?
[17:37] Shizuka
I would...
[17:57] Hiiragi
Are you ready?
[17:58] Kokona
Yes!
[17:58] Kathrina
Yes.
[17:59] Panda
Ooh, so fresh and new!
[18:02] Sasuga
Kokona came to watch every rehearsal,
but Kathrina didn't come to a single one.
[18:07] Panda
We barely even saw her at the dorm.
[18:10] Panda
I wonder how she's going to play it.
[18:13] Hiiragi
We'll start with Kathrina.
[18:15] Hiiragi
Panda, run the scene with her.
[18:18] Panda
Roger!
[18:20] Panda
Let's see what she's got.
[18:25] Kathrina
When Japanese people point to themselves,
they point at their noses.
[18:29] Kathrina
We put our hands to our hearts.
[18:32] Kathrina
Even the most trivial differences can
make a performance seem unnatural.
[18:37] Kathrina
I'm sure they think that,
because I haven't been in Japan long,
[18:40] Kathrina
I'm incapable of expressing
Kaguya's inner life.
[18:44] Kathrina
They can think whatever they want.
[18:46] Hiiragi
All right, begin.
[18:53] Kathrina (Kaguya)
Hey, have you ever seen
a bamboo blossom, Misao?
[18:58] Panda (Misao)
A bamboo blossom?
[19:01] Kathrina (Kaguya)
The books say they bloom
only once every 120 years.
[19:07] Panda (Misao)
Once every 120 years?
[19:10] Panda
Huh... Not bad. She's moving like
someone who's worn a kimono before.
[19:16] Kokona

she was in The Little Mermaid.
[19:47] Hiiragi
She feels no emotion
whatsoever towards her role.
[19:50] Hiiragi
Yet she can still pull it off
[19:53] Hiiragi
because she studied countless sources
[19:54] Hiiragi

to play Kaguya from them.

The books say they bloom
only once every 120 years.
[21:19] Panda (Misao)
Once every 120 years?

She's playing a Kaguya who's trying
to be cheerful to hide her loneliness.

Five princes are in love with you, Princess,
[00:03] Sasuga (Old Man)
and they have been coming by
for a very long time.
[00:08] Sasuga (Old Man)
Why not meet with one of them?
[00:13] Niizuma (Kaguya)
I won't make such a decision so lightly.
[00:18] Sasuga Fan A
Aww...
[00:20] Sasuga Fan A
It's hard to see Chisa-san's face from here.
[00:23] Sasuga (Old Man)
But I believe their love for you is deep.
[00:29] Panda (Misato)
In that case, how about this?
[00:33] Sasuga (Old Man)
What is it, Misao?
Do you have an idea?
[00:36] Sasuga Fan A
I can see her! She's so cool!
[00:41] Panda Fan
Panda-san's as cute as ever today!
[00:44] Panda (Misato)
What if the princess marries
whoever brings her what she desires?
[00:50] Panda Fan
She's too precious!
[00:52] Panda (Misato)
I'm sure the love
of all five prices runs deep,
[00:52] Hiiragi
Panda Yanagiba's Sense is the ability
to read the minds of the audience.
[00:55] Panda (Misato)
making it hard to judge them on love alone.
[00:58] Panda (Misato)
So why not choose based
on something tangible?
[01:02] Hiiragi
She's going overboard.
She'll be getting a lecture later.

[02:51] Reporter
Thank you for speaking with me today.
[02:53] Kathrina
I'm Kathrina Griebel. It's a pleasure.
[02:56] Reporter
I hear that your parents back in Germany
are renowned World Dai Stars.
[03:03] Reporter
Did they happen to give you any
advice when you joined SIRIUS?
[03:08] Kathrina
Yes. They told me to make sure
that my performances

instill the people of Japan
with hopes and dreams.

They're considered Germany's...

Shizuka-chan, are you mad?
[03:38] Shizuka
I'm not mad. I'm just at a loss for words.
[03:41] Kokona
Figures...
[03:43] Shizuka
You lost the moment you copied Yae-chan.
[03:48] Kokona
Yeah.
[03:49] Shizuka
Actors who want to be Dai Stars
don't copy other actors' performances.
[03:54] Shizuka
But at the same time, I'm not sure we
could have beat Kathrina with our plan.
[03:59] Kokona
Yeah, Kathrina-chan's
performance was amazing!

What are you grinning for?
[04:04] Kokona
I'm not.

You have to shine brighter than
anyone to become a Dai Star.
[04:11] Kokona
Okay!

Let's outshine the lead with your
performance as Misao, the lady-in-waiting!

[04:40] Kokona
U-Um...
[04:43] Kokona
I thought it was perfect.
[04:45] Hiiragi
Perfect?
[04:46] Kokona
Her expressions, movements, and the way she
delivered her lines all seemed calculated.
[04:52] Kokona
I thought she could've done
the play then and there.
[04:56] Hiiragi
I see.
[04:58] Hiiragi
But perfect performances
are surprisingly boring.

how could they become anyone else?

[07:12] Kokona
Figuring out who you are is pretty hard.
[07:15] Shizuka
It is, but actors need to be able
to see themselves objectively.
[07:21] Kokona
Objectively...
[07:23] Shizuka
What kind of person do you
think Misao is, Kokona?
[07:26] Kokona
She's Princess Kaguya's lady-in-waiting
and works hard to support her poor family...
[07:31] Kokona
I think?
[07:32] Shizuka
I'm asking about who she is on the inside.
[07:36] Kokona
Um, she's serious, smart,
loves Princess Kaguya...
[07:41] Kokona
And...

Once she puts her mind to something,
she always sees it through.

[08:35] [SONG] Lyrics
It felt as though time had stopped
[08:42] [SONG] Lyrics
Right now is (slightly) special
[08:46] [SONG] Lyrics
I knew that somewhere deep
down (and if it's possible)
[08:51] [SONG] Lyrics
I want to (be with you) forever

[10:10] Kathrina
Yes, ma'am.
[10:11] Kokona
Th-Thank you for having me!
[10:15] Sasuga (Old Man)
I thought you'd be more comfortable
with a girl close to your age.
[10:21] Kathrina (Kaguya)
Misao-chan!
[10:23] Kokona (Misao)
Y-Yes?
[10:25] Kathrina (Kaguya)
Misao-chan!
[10:26] Kokona (Misao)
Can I help you?
[10:31] Kathrina
Can we stop for a sec?
[10:33] Kokona
Huh?
[10:34] Kathrina
You totally just smiled now.
What made you think you should smile?
[10:37] Kokona
U-Um... Just because?
[10:41] Kathrina
Don't act on "just because"!
[10:43] Kathrina
Misao is supposed to be thrown by
Princess Kaguya's innocence in this scene!
[10:47] Kathrina
You smiling changes everything!
[10:50] Kokona
I... I'm sorry.
[10:53] Kathrina
If your acting sucks, you're going to drag
me down to your level. You need to—
[10:56] Drama Club
Yeah, it's on its last leg.
[11:00] Drama Club
We should probably change it out.
[11:05] Kathrina
Hello?! We're in the middle
of a rehearsal here!
[11:08] Kathrina
Stop making weird noises!
It's throwing me off!
[11:11] Kathrina

[11:35] Kokona
Say, Kathrina-chan.
[11:37] Kokona
I wanted to ask you for
some advice about my role.
[11:40] Kathrina
You need to work on your focus
before you even think about your role.
[11:44] Kathrina
You're a failure as an actor if you
drop character and smile in a scene.
[11:48] Kokona
That's not what happened!
[11:49] Kokona
Um... How do I put this?
[11:52] Kokona
I couldn't help it
when I saw your performance.
[11:56] Kathrina
What do you mean by that?
[11:57] Kokona
Your eyes looked so uneasy.
Like you were asking for help.
[12:02] Kathrina
Uneasy?
[12:04] Kathrina
What's that supposed to mean?
Are you trying to blame my acting?
[12:08] Kokona
No! That's not it!
[12:10] Kokona
Misao is Princess Kaguya's attendant,
[12:12] Kokona
so to see her lady uneasy...
[12:14] Kathrina
Just do what you're told!
[12:27] Kokona
She really does hate me.
[12:29] Shizuka
Who cares about her?
[12:32] Kokona
But Princess Kaguya and Misao
are supposed to be like sisters
[12:36] Kokona
who trust each other completely.
[12:38] Shizuka
You may just have to tough
it out at this point.
[12:42] Niizuma
The audience at SIRIUS
desires genuine performances
[12:45] Niizuma
where the actors let their emotions collide.
[12:48] Kokona and Shizuka
Yae-chan!
[12:49] Niizuma
If you truly want to be a Dai Star,
why not strive to be genuine?
[12:55] Kokona
Genuine?
[12:57] Niizuma
You don't need to force yourself to go
along with Kathrina-san's take.
[13:01] Niizuma
You should perform in a way
that's true to you, Kokona-san.
[13:06] Kokona
Yae-chan!
[13:08] Niizuma
Y-Yes?
[13:09] Kokona
What do you think I should do?
[13:11] Kokona
How can I put on a genuine
performance with Kathrina-chan?
[13:16] Niizuma
There's only one way to break
a perfectly calculated performance...
[13:20] Niizuma
Believe in the other actor and face
them head-on without running away.
[13:24] Niizuma
You can also save Kathrina-san that way.
[13:28] Kokona
Save... Kathrina-chan?
[13:32] Niizuma
The only one who can save an actor
is the actor on stage with them.
[13:58] Kathrina
What do you think you're doing?
[14:00] Kathrina
You've been sneaking around,
following me this whole time.
[14:03] Kokona
I'm sorry.
[14:04] Kokona
I, um, just wanted
to know more about you.
[14:07] Kathrina
What?
[14:08] Kokona
Princess Kaguya and Misao are
supposed to be as close as sisters.
[14:11] Kokona
So, uh...
[14:13] Kokona
I think we should learn
more about each other!
[14:17] Kathrina
Hmph.
[14:18] Kathrina
You can't even separate yourself from
your role. You're worse than third rate.
[14:22] Kathrina
You're not fit to be an actor.

The Final Show of SIRIUS's The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
Audience brought to tears by the singing of lead actress Yae Niizuma...
[02:06] Kokona
She was so amazing!
[02:08] Kokona
All the comments are about her, too!
[02:09] Kokona
Yae Niizuma starred in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter at SIRIUS's theater in Asakusa.
As most readers probably know, SIRIUS is a female acting troupe put together by
our country's renowned World Dai Star, Shamo Yamabuki. Their performances regularly sell out,
and while SIRIUS is gaining national attention, the one who shines the brightest among them
is Yae Niizuma.
[02:09] Kokona
Niizuma's rendition of Princess Kaguya was delicate, and she put on a fantastic performance
that made the audience feel how strong her will was at times. Her solo during the climax was
truly a highlight, and the whole audience was brought to tears, overwhelmed with emotion
from Niizuma's song overflowing with her Sense. I definitely saw her potential as a future
Dai Star as she captivated the audience.

You poured your heart into that performance.
[02:20] Shizuka
So why isn't anyone saying,
"Oh my gosh, she's amazing"?!
[02:26] Kokona
Oh! I found a comment about
you, Kathrina-chan! Lookie!

Sure.

[03:06] Panda
Yup!
[03:07] Panda
It's tradition at this dorm to throw a
party after the newcomer performance.
[03:12] Panda
How do your schedules look today?
[03:14] Panda
You're not working today, Koko-chan.
[03:16] Kokona
Huh? No, I'm not...
But how do you know that?
[03:20] Panda
That means tonight...
[03:22] Panda
We'll be throwing a move-in party

[03:30] Sasuga
Yay.
[03:31] Shizuka
Um... I'm allowed to join, too?
[03:33] Panda
But of course!
[03:35] Panda
Actually, you're all required to be there.
[03:38] Kathrina
I-I...
[03:40] Panda
Kathrin.
[03:42] Panda
You! Will! Be! There!
[03:46] Kathrina
F... F-Fine.
[03:50] Sasuga
I can't wait to try your cooking.
[03:53] Kathrina; Kokona; Shizuka
Huh?
[03:54] Panda
It's tradition for the newbies to each
make a dish for the party.
[03:59] Kathrina
What? Even though the party's for us?
[04:03] Panda
What can I say? It's tradition.
[04:04] Kathrina
But...
[04:05] Panda
Tradition.
[04:06] Sasuga
I've never had authentic German food before!
[04:11] Kokona
Kathrina-chan!
[04:13] Kokona
Let's do our best together!
[04:18] Kokona
Kathrina-chan?
[04:21] Kathrina
So be it.
[04:23] Kokona
Now that that's decided, let's go shopping!
[04:26] Shizuka
Yeah.
[04:27] Panda
Whoa there.
[04:29] Panda
You're staying here, Oshizu-chan.
[04:31] Shizuka
Huh?
[04:34] Sasuga
We're very interested in you.
[04:36] Kokona and Shizuka
Huh?!
[04:38] Sasuga
Panda is, at least.
[04:39] Kokona and Shizuka
Huh?
[04:40] Panda
I sure am! I've never encountered
such a unique Sense before.
[04:45] Panda
I'm just so curious that...
[04:47] Panda
See? I've got dark circles under my eyes.
[04:50] Panda
I mean, it's honestly pretty cute
and makes me seem more panda-like.
[04:53] Shizuka
Huh? Um, uh... sure?
[04:56] Panda
How do you change clothes?
Or hop in the bath?
[04:59] Panda
Hey, do you disappear if you
get too far from Koko-chan?
[05:02] Kokona
Wait, what?
[05:05] Panda
Well, I'm sure it'll be fine.
Anyway, looking forward to the food!
[05:09] Shizuka
Kokona!
[05:11] Kokona
Shizuka-chan!
[05:14] Kathrina
Is she going to be okay?
[05:16] Kokona
No idea...
[05:18] Kokona
But I'm sure Shizuka-chan would enjoy
some time away from me.
[05:23] Kokona
Let's go shopping!
[05:25] Kathrina
You sure bounce back quick.

I wonder what I should make.
[05:34] Kokona
Hmm...
[05:37] Kokona
Is there anything you'd
like to eat, Kathrina-chan?
[05:41] Kokona
Like a favorite food?
[05:44] Kathrina
Hey.
[05:45] Kathrina
Who exactly is Shizuka?
[05:48] Kokona
She's Shizuka-chan.
[05:52] Kathrina
Okay, let me put it another way.
[05:54] Kathrina
What exactly is your Sense?
[05:58] Kokona
Well...
[06:05] Shizuka
A jungle?
[06:07] Sasuga
We get all kinds of things from
fans after playing various roles.
[06:11] Panda
We got bamboo shoots this time.
[06:13] Panda
Sassu fans are just too clever!
[06:16] Panda
Now, then... How much do you
know about Senses, Oshizu-chan?
[06:21] Shizuka
Honestly, not much.
[06:24] Sasuga
So you really don't even
know much about yourself.
[06:27] Sasuga
What a curious Sense.
[06:30] Panda
Senses are special traits that
began emerging when actors
[06:37] Panda
started desiring a higher
level of expression.
[06:43] Panda
A little before the current acting scene
became known as the great age of theater,
[06:48] Panda
the stage was overrun with actors.
[06:53] Panda
In order for actors to survive,
[06:55] Panda
special abilities were born
to help them take the spotlight
[06:58] Panda
and shine the brightest.
[07:01] Panda
Those are what we call Senses.
[07:04] Sasuga
Just like animals adapt in order to survive,
[07:07] Sasuga
I wonder if actors evolved, too.
[07:10] Shizuka
Evolved?
[07:14] Panda
Basically, we figure Senses are just
a super-amazing form of expression
[07:19] Panda
that only manifests onstage.
[07:22] Panda
But Oshizu-chan, you're sorta... different.
[07:28] Kathrina
There are actors who can awaken
a different personality
[07:31] Kathrina
within them via their Sense
to fit certain roles.
[07:34] Kathrina
It's rare, but there are even actors
who can change their appearance.
[07:38] Kathrina
Nevertheless, they remain
a single actor on the stage.
[07:42] Kathrina
It's inconceivable for another personality
to appear alongside you
[07:45] Kathrina
that other people can see, too.
[07:50] Panda
Not to mention,
[07:51] Panda
you don't seem to disappear when
you leave the stage or Koko-chan's side.
[07:55] Panda
I wonder what Koko-chan's Sense really is...
[07:59] Panda
What exactly are you, Oshizu-chan?
[08:03] Shizuka
I'm...
[08:06] Kokona
As for Shizuka-chan...
[08:07] Kokona
I met her during a time when I was
failing one audition after another.
[08:12] (Flashback) Hamlet (Kokona)
To be! Or not to be! That is the question!
[08:17] (Flashback) Judge A
You're not bad, but you lack Sense.
[08:22] (Flashback) Judge B
You don't have any Sense.
[08:24] (Flashback) Judge C
You need Sense that can excite the audience.
[08:42] (Flashback) Kokona
Maybe I can't be a Dai Star.
[08:50] (Flashback) Kokona
No.
[08:52] (Flashback) Kokona
I can be a Dai Star!
[08:54] (Flashback) Kokona
I can! I can...
[08:58] (Flashback) Shizuka
You can.
[09:02] (Flashback) Shizuka
I was watching you perform.
[09:05] (Flashback) Shizuka
I thought you did pretty well myself.
[09:08] (Flashback) Kokona
Really?
[09:10] (Flashback) Shizuka
But you need to have more
confidence in yourself.
[09:13] (Flashback) Shizuka
You need to stand proud
and let them know, "I'm right here!"
[09:16] (Flashback) Shizuka
Your performance needs that kind of passion.
[09:19] (Flashback) Kokona
"I'm right here"?
[09:20] (Flashback) Shizuka
Just watch.
[09:21] (Flashback) Kokona
Huh?
[09:23] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
To be or not to be—that is the question.
[09:27] (Flashback) Kokona
Hey! Don't go doing that right here!
[09:30] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
Whether 'tis nobler...
[09:32] (Flashback) Kokona
Huh?
[09:35] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
...in the mind to suffer
[09:37] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
The slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune,
[09:41] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
[09:44] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
And, by opposing, end them?
[09:50] (Flashback) Shizuka
Well?
[09:51] (Flashback) Kokona
Wow! Amazing!
[09:53] (Flashback) Kokona
So that's how I should've
performed that scene!
[09:56] (Flashback) Shizuka
You can do it too, Kokona.
[09:59] (Flashback) Shizuka
I'm Shizuka.
[10:01] (Flashback) Shizuka
I'll make you shine brighter
than anyone as an actor...
[10:05] (Flashback) Shizuka
I'll make you into a World Dai Star.

So I think Shizuka-chan
[10:20] Kokona
is a version of me that has
everything I've ever wanted.
[10:25] Kokona
A me who's good at acting,
super confident, and cool.
[10:30] Kokona
Though I'm too embarrassed
to tell Shizuka-chan that.
[10:34] Clerk
Stop on by!
[10:36] Kathrina
So a Sense that allows her to create
an ideal version of herself as an example?
[10:36] Kokona
Count me in! Got any recommendations?
[10:41] Kokona
Everything looks so good!
[10:43] Kokona
I wonder what everyone likes.
[10:44] Kathrina
But then there'd be no need for
Shizuka to show up on stage.
[10:46] Kokona
Maybe these?
[10:49] Shizuka
I think I came from Kokona's
desire to become a World Dai Star.
[10:57] Shizuka
I don't know who I am exactly,
[11:00] Shizuka
but I want to help Kokona
achieve her dream. That's all.
[11:05] Panda
So why'd you show up on stage?
[11:08] Shizuka
Because Kokona wanted the
play to be a success.
[11:11] Shizuka
But...
[11:12] Shizuka
I honestly shouldn't have done it.
[11:15] Shizuka
Because I only exist to make sure
she can hold her own onstage.
[11:21] Shizuka
So... I probably won't do it again.
[11:25] Sasuga
Well, that's a waste.
[11:27] Panda
But I think I finally figured something out.
[11:30] Panda
When she was playing the prince
in The Little Mermaid,
[11:33] Panda
Koko-chan must've been channeling that
role through you, Oshizu-chan.
[11:38] Shizuka
Now then...
[11:40] Shizuka
What's the meaning of this?
[11:45] Sasuga
You really can wear the same costume
just by imagining yourself in it.
[11:49] Sasuga
Must be nice.
[11:53] Panda
On to the next outfit!

But why?

Season the meat and then coat it with flour.
[13:01] Kokona
Then quickly dip it in the egg...
[13:08] Kokona
We're going to melt the butter first.
Otherwise, these'll burn.
[13:12] Kathrina
So you're good at cooking?
[13:14] Kokona
I wouldn't say that, but both
of my parents always worked late,
[13:20] Kokona
so I was in charge of making dinner.
[13:34] Kokona
Okay, all set.
[13:36] Kokona
Could I ask you to handle the frying since
you've actually had these before?
[13:41] Kathrina
Huh?

how to play a chef before.

To be or not to be—that is the question.

[14:42] Kathrina
I guess it's true that
no one is twice blessed.
[14:45] Kokona
Does that mean...
[14:47] Kokona
You actually suck
at everything besides acting?
[14:50] Kathrina
What?! I'm sure I would've
been fine if this were a play!
[14:54] Kokona
Are you sure?
[14:56] Kathrina
I think so... probably.
[14:58] Kokona
I see. So there are things
even you aren't good at.
[15:02] Kathrina
Is that a problem?
[15:03] Kokona
No, it's fine.
[15:05] Kokona
I'm just happy that I got
to learn more about you!
[15:09] Kokona
I didn't know anything about you
except that you're an amazing actress.
[15:17] Kathrina
I'm not a good actress either.
[15:19] Kathrina
Even you must've been disappointed in me.
[15:21] Kokona
Huh?
[15:23] Kathrina
Everyone in my last troupe was.
[15:31] Kathrina
I always performed alone.
[15:35] Kathrina
I forced my costars and the staff to follow
the ideal performance in my head.
[15:42] Kathrina
The only reason they tolerated me is because
I'm the daughter of World Dai Stars.
[15:47] Kathrina
But...
[15:59] Kathrina
I ruined an important performance.
[16:07] Kathrina
I was supposed to succeed.
[16:11] Kathrina
For my costars, the audience...
[16:15] Kathrina
For my parents...
[16:18] Kathrina
Yet I couldn't move. And now here again, I...
[16:24] Kokona
Say, why don't we go ahead and try again?
[16:26] Kathrina
Huh?
[16:30] Kokona
I've messed up a bunch of times, too.
[16:33] Kokona
I failed a bunch of auditions,
[16:36] Kokona
Shizuka-chan always yells at me,
and I lost the Princess Kaguya role.
[16:44] Kokona
But I don't think I'll ever forget
your performance as Princess Kaguya.
[16:52] Kokona
Because it was our first play!
[16:56] Kokona
Next time we do The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
[16:58] Kokona

Well played, lead runner in the race
to become the next SIRIUS Dai Star.
[01:24] Panda
Dugong's completely under her spell.
[01:26] Kokona
Oh, Yae-chan!
[01:28] Shizuka
She's as beautiful as a painting!
[01:30] Katrina
It's just some rodent. Just you watch.
[01:39] Kathrina
Shake.
[01:46] Panda
You poor fool, Kathrin.
[01:48] Panda
Say goodbye to your dreams
of becoming a Dai Star.
[01:52] Hiiragi
I need you all at the rehearsal hall, now.
[01:55] Hiiragi
We've decided the cast
for our next production.
[01:59] Kokona
Our next production?
[02:01] Sign
Arabian Nights
[02:01] Hiiragi
We'll be doing...
[02:02] Sign
Arabian Nights
[02:02] Hiiragi
"Arabian Nights."
[02:18] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[03:36] Sign
A Wish
[03:37] Shizuka
Our story takes place in a desert city
in the Middle Ages.
[03:41] Shizuka
We will be focusing on one of the most
prominent stories from Arabian Nights...
[03:46] Shizuka
"Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp."
[03:52] Shizuka
That's a pretty flashy piece.
[03:53] Kathrina
She said they've decided the cast already.
Are they not doing auditions?
[03:57] Terahara
At SIRIUS, the sponsor and
director decide on the cast.
[04:01] Kamiyashiki
Hiiragi-san used to always play the
lead. Now, it's usually Yae.
[04:06] Terahara
Ever since Hiiragi-san retired, people say
that SIRIUS is a troupe without a Dai Star.
[04:11] Kamiyashiki
SIRIUS's current objective
is to make Yae a Dai Star.
[04:15] Kathrina
Then what was the point in auditioning?
[04:18] Terahara
If you feel overlooked,
prove you're better than her.
[04:21] Terahara
That's what we're all trying to do.
[04:23] Kamiyashiki
Our primary goal right now is to have
people talking about SIRIUS way more
[04:27] Kamiyashiki
than when Hiiragi-san was in it.
[04:28] Terahara
Yae-chan has the Sense and
popularity to do just that.
[04:32] Kokona
Why did Hiiragi-san retire?
[04:35] Terahara
Haven't you heard, Kokona-chan?
[04:37] Terahara
You can only be on stage with
SIRIUS until you're 23.
[04:41] Kokona
What? Really?!
[04:43] Kamiyashiki
That's what Shamo-san decided.
[04:44] Kamiyashiki
She said it's not good to be
stuck in one place for too long.
[04:47] Kokona
What should I do, Shizuka-chan?!
[04:49] Kokona
I only have seven years left!
[04:51] Shizuka
Well, bring it.
[04:53] Shizuka
Let's make you a World Dai Star by then.
[04:56] Kokona
What?!
[04:58] Hiiragi
Pipe down over there.
[04:59] Kokona and Shizuka
Sorry!

Niizumacchi will probably play

The role of the Genie is
basically just as important.

If I were able to get that role, I
could bring out the best in Niizumacchi

while still showing off my own charm.

What the Genie's actor needs
is control on the stage.
[05:31] Kathrina
It appears I'll have my
second chance already.
[05:34] Kathrina
I'll overshadow the lead.
[05:37] Shizuka
Give Kokona a role where she'll stand out,
give Kokona a role where she'll stand out,
[05:40] Shizuka
give Kokona a role

Huh?
[05:55] Hiiragi
Next, the Genie of the Lamp...
[05:58] Hiiragi
Yae Niizuma.
[06:01] Niizuma
Yes, ma'am!
[06:02] Troupe
Really?
[06:03] Troupe
A newbie is playing the lead?
[06:05] Troupe
Yae's playing the Genie?
That doesn't seem to fit at all.
[06:08] Hiiragi
The Royal Princess, Leila...
[06:10] Hiiragi
Chisa Sasuga.
[06:11] Sasuga
But I wanted to use magic.
[06:14] Hiiragi
The Sultan...
[06:16] Hiiragi
Kathrina Griebel.
[06:17] Kathrina
What? The Sultan?!
[06:19] Hiiragi
Your answer?
[06:19] Kathrina
Y-Yes, ma'am.
[06:22] Hiiragi
Aladdin's nemesis, Abdullah...
[06:24] Hiiragi
Panda Yanagiba.
[06:25] Panda
P-Please wait a second!
[06:27] Hiiragi
What?
[06:28] Panda
Niizumacchi's playing the Genie?
I mean, that's one thing, but...
[06:31] Panda
A newbie's playing Aladdin?
[06:33] Panda
That's inconceivable!
[06:38] Hiiragi
This was decided after careful discussion.
[06:42] Panda
But...
[06:55] Kokona
I-I'll do it.
[06:57] Kokona
I'll make sure this play is a success!
[07:00] Kokona
Please let me do the part!

From now until the production is over,
you'll be following that regimen.
[07:54] Hiiragi
You need to get the fundamentals of
stage acting down once and for all.
[07:58] Kokona
The fundamentals of stage acting?
[08:00] Hiiragi
You understand, don't you?
[08:02] Hiiragi
Right now, you don't have
the stamina or talent
[08:04] Hiiragi
to be up on stage for 90 minutes
in the lead role.
[08:09] Shizuka
Then why did you pick Kokona
for the lead role?!
[08:13] Hiiragi
For SIRIUS.
[08:19] Hiiragi
No part-time jobs
until after the final show.
[08:22] Hiiragi
SIRIUS will make sure you're
taken care of in the meantime.

Good evening.

Um...
[09:05] Panda
Oh, come on. You don't need to be so scared.
[09:09] Panda
Here.
[09:11] Kokona

Scripts from past productions of Arabian
Nights our senpais at SIRIUS performed in.
[09:18] Panda
They're from my secret SIRIUS collection!
[09:20] Panda
Our senpais wrote in a whole bunch of notes.
[09:23] Panda
I figured they might help
you understand your role.
[09:26] Kokona
I can borrow these?
[09:27] Panda
But of course!
[09:28] Panda
Hiiragi-san chose you, and you said you
were going to see the role through.
[09:32] Panda
So I've... made up my mind.
[09:39] Panda
I'm sorry for being so rude earlier.
[09:42] Kokona
Panda-chan...
[09:45] Panda
Let's make this production a success.

Yeah.

and unreliable Aladdin...

They're so busy running their shops...
No one even sees me...

Who...
[10:27] Kokona
An Aladdin whose life in the grueling
desert has made him detached.
[10:32] Kokona
They're all completely different.
[10:34] Kathrin
That just means the character
of Aladdin lacks any core.
[10:38] Kokona
Core?
[10:38] Kathrina
The roles of the Genie,
Abdullah, and Princess Leila
[10:41] Kathrina
are all written out in great
detail in the scripts.
[10:44] Sign
Aladdin: Everyone's desperate to survive.
At night, they all get drunk to the music.
You can smell the sweet aroma and hear the laughter...
See? It's starting again tonight.
[10:44] Sign
Say each of
these sentences clearly!
[10:44] Kathrina
But there's no solid direction for Aladdin.
[10:48] Kathrina
Which means his character takes a lot
from the actor's personality.
[10:48] Sign
Aladdin: Sings
I love this city!
Everyone's desperate to survive.
At night, they all get drunk to the music.
You can smell the sweet aroma and hear the laughter...
See? It's starting again tonight.
Sings
[10:48] Sign
Make sure your body...
Don't let this line get drowned out.
It's important
[10:51] Kathrina
At least, that's what I think.
[10:53] Kokona
The actor's personality...
[10:55] Kathrina
With that in mind, it's really easy to
imagine how Niizuma would play Aladdin.

That alone is enough to bring
her characters to life.
[11:05] Shizuka
The audience will surely enter the world
of Arabian Nights through Yae-chan.
[11:10] Kathrina
What makes Niizuma scary isn't
just her singing Sense.
[11:14] Kathrina
Her ability to make each character
feel like they're actually her...
[11:17] Kathrina
I hate to admit it, but I don't
have that kind of charm right now.
[11:21] Kokona
I wonder what kind of Aladdin
I should try to play.
[11:26] Shizuka
We'll just have to try out various versions.
[11:29] Kathrina
Ahem.
[11:32] Kathrina
You'll need someone to
practice with, won't you?
[11:36] Shizuka
Uh, hello? I'm right here.
[11:39] Kathrina
Well, three's always better than two!
[11:42] Kokona
You're going to help me?
[11:44] Kathrina
If you end up messing up this role,
[11:46] Kathrina
I'll seem like a failure, too,
since you got the role instead of me.
[11:50] Kathrina
More importantly, if you don't do this
role properly, I'm going to upstage you!
[11:55] Shizuka
As the Sultan?
[11:56] Kokona
I think that itself could ruin the play...
[11:59] Kathrina
And that's exactly why you
have to work hard, Kokona!
[12:06] Niizuma
Good evening!
[12:08] Kokona
Yae-chan!
[12:09] Kathrina
What are you doing here at this hour?
[12:11] Niizuma
Didn't Hiiragi-san tell you?
[12:13] Shizuka
Tell us what?
[12:15] Niizuma
I'm going to be living with Kokona-san
until the production starts.
[12:20] Kokona
Huh?
[12:21] Kathrina
Huh?
[12:22] Shizuka
Living with...?
[12:24] Niizuma
I look forward to our time
together, Kokona-san.
[12:28] Shizuka
Or rather... Master.
[12:34] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[12:39] Shizuka
"Dear Kokona Otori-sama."
[12:42] Kathrina
"I heard that you've agreed
to take care of our Yae
[12:45] Kathrina
in order to help her prepare for her role.
[12:47] Kathrina
I do apologize that we are greeting you
by letter rather than properly in person."
[12:54] Shizuka
"Ever since she was little, our daughter was
very aware of her surroundings,
[12:55] Niizuma
Would you like me to help you?
[12:56] Kokona
N-No! Yae-chan, you can
just make yourself at home!
[12:58] Shizuka
filled with compassion,
[13:00] Shizuka
determined and uncompromising once
she sets her mind on something.
[13:05] Shizuka
Everyone often compliments her,
[13:06] Shizuka
saying that she's an absolute gem,
but sometimes this is not the case..."
[13:10] Kathrina
Isn't this overly long?
[13:12] Shizuka
I mean... I can tell that your parents love you...
[13:16] Shizuka
But what's this about
preparing for your role?
[13:18] Niizuma
Yes. Aladdin and the Genie go through
[13:21] Niizuma
good times and bad together after they meet.
[13:25] Niizuma
I thought it was necessary to be in sync
with Kokona-san, who's playing Aladdin.
[13:31] Niizuma
I did actually tell Hiiragi-san
about this earlier.
[13:35] Hiiragi
Oh.
[13:36] Kudo
Is something wrong?
[13:38] Hiiragi
No.
[13:40] Hiiragi
It's not a big deal.
[13:42] Hiiragi
More importantly, about this part...
[13:44] Kokona
I would've cleaned up if she'd told me!
[13:47] Niizuma
So, yes. From today until
the production starts,
[13:51] Niizuma
as the Genie that serves Kokona-san,
[13:54] Niizuma
I would like to take care of you, Master.
[13:57] Kokona
M-Master?
[13:59] Kathrina
Wait a second! You're planning
to stay in this room?!
[14:02] Kathrina
It's cramped enough with Shizuka here!
[14:05] Panda
I heard everything.
[14:09] Kathrina
Why do you two always
show up at times like this?
[14:12] Sasuga
The walls are paper thin.
[14:14] Panda
We'll take real good care of Kathrin.
[14:16] Kathrina
Huh?
[14:20] Panda
Next, we're going to
investigate Kathrin's Sense!
[14:24] Kathrina
Hey! No! Your room's sorta scary!
[14:27] Kathrina
K-K-Kokona!
[14:32] Kokona
Maybe we should've stopped them?
[14:35] Shizuka
Let's treat Kathrina to some
ice cream sometime soon.
[14:38] Shizuka
But for now...
[14:44] Yae
Your wish is my command, Master.
[14:47] Yae
I shall grant you any wish at once.
[14:51] Yae
If it is within my power, of course.
[14:55] Shizuka
Let us savor this happiness.
[14:57] Kokona
Yes.
[15:14] Niizuma (Genie)
Good morning, Master!
[15:16] Kokona
Yae-chan? Good morning...
[15:19] Niizuma (Genie)
I'm the Genie! Now, time for
your morning rehearsal!
[15:22] Niizuma (Genie)
Let's give it our all today!
[15:32] Kokona
G-Good morning!
[15:34] Hiiragi
Were you able to meet your quota?
[15:36] Kokona
Yes, I made it. Three kilometers.
[15:38] Hiiragi
I see. In that case, hop
right into vocal training.
[15:41] Hiiragi
Tongue twisters.
[15:42] Kokona
Y-Yes, ma'am.
[15:43] Shizuka
She's a demon.
[15:47] Kokona
Thank you for the food.
[15:51] Kathrina
What are you doing?
[15:53] Kokona
An assignment from Hiiragi-san.
[15:54] Kokona
I have to do a scene as a different
character each morning.
[15:58] Kokona
Tomorrow is Macbeth.
The day after that, Tony.
[16:01] Kokona
After that, there's Jekyll,
Hyde, Inspector Javert...
[16:05] Kathrina
All male roles.
[16:06] Kathrina
I wonder why.
[16:09] Kathrina
I-I mean... if you need someone to read
with you, I guess I wouldn't mind.
[16:14] Kokona
Really?! It starts with Act 3, Scene 2!
[16:25] Hiiragi
Don't sit pigeon-toed!
[16:27] Hiiragi
Separate those feet.
[16:28] Kokona
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[16:30] Hiiragi
When playing a male character,
you'll use big gestures.
[16:32] Hiiragi
Focus power in your fingertips.
[16:34] Hiiragi
Think about every movement you make.
[16:36] Kokona
Yes, ma'am!
[16:40] Kokona
In the morning, I have to work
out and practice the basics.
[16:43] Kokona
In the afternoon, I have a table read,
then singing and dance lessons.
[16:46] Kokona
At night, I have a one-on-one
with Hiiragi-sa—
[16:53] Shizuka
This is going to continue
for three months?
[16:58] Kokona
Oh, Dugong-chan!
[17:01] Kokona
Did you come to cheer me... up?
[17:11] Kokona
I'm home.
[17:12] Niizuma (Genie)
Welcome back, Master.
[17:15] Niizuma (Genie)
Your futon has been laid out for you.
[17:17] Kokona
Whoa, thanks!
[17:19] Kokona
Um... I just can't get used to this.
[17:22] Kokona
Could you just call me Kokona?
[17:25] Niizuma (Genie)
Well, that's strange.
[17:26] Niizuma (Genie)
I could've sworn my master's
name was Aladdin.
[17:31] Shizuka
That's Yae-chan for you...
She's not breaking character.
[17:33] Niizuma
I'm kidding. If you so desire,
I'll stop for today, Kokona-san.
[17:40] Niizuma
You did amazing work today.
[17:43] Shizuka
What an absolute gem.
[17:46] Kokona
But...
[17:47] Kokona
Am I really going to make it,
practicing like this every day?
[17:52] Niizuma
Is this training difficult for you?
[17:54] Kokona
Not exactly, but...
[17:57] Shizuka
I know the fundamentals are important...
[17:59] Shizuka
But you've had no time
to prepare for your role.
[18:02] Shizuka
I've been trying to figure out a bunch of
things while Kokona's at school, but...
[18:06] Kokona
What kind of Aladdin
should I be playing?
[18:09] Kokona
I...
[18:10] Niizuma
There's still time before the production.
[18:12] Niizuma
You don't need to rush.
[18:14] Kokona
Really?
[18:15] Niizuma
Yes! Not to mention...
[18:17] Niizuma
The Aladdin you should play is quite obvious.
[18:21] Kokona and Shizuka
Huh?
[18:22] Niizuma
Aladdin meets the Genie, and ends up
trusting him because of how devoted he is.
[18:27] Niizuma
It's not because he can use magic,
[18:29] Niizuma
but because Aladdin has spent all his
life trying to survive in a desert city,
[18:35] Niizuma
and the Genie is the first
friend that he can trust.
[18:40] Niizuma
Can you trust me, Kokona-san?
[18:45] Kokona
Yes... I can.
[18:47] Niizuma
Then it's simple.
[18:48] Niizuma
That's exactly how you should
pursue the role of Aladdin.
[18:52] Niizuma
And then...
[18:56] Niizuma
I'm sure this production will go well.
[19:00] Kokona
Right.
[19:01] Kokona
If I'm with you, Yae-chan, I'm sure...
[19:06] Shizuka
Kokona?
[19:30] Niizuma (Genie)
Here you go, Master!
[19:34] Kokona
Thanks...
[19:40] Kokona
Yae-chan, can I ask you something?
[19:43] Niizuma
What is it?
[19:45] Kokona
Why are you playing the Genie
instead of the lead role?
[19:50] Niizuma
If I want to become a Dai Star,
[19:52] Niizuma
I need to show everyone a new Yae Niizuma.
[19:55] Kokona
A new you?
[19:57] Niizuma
Yes.
[19:59] Niizuma
Innocent and pure maidens like the
Little Mermaid and Princess Kaguya...
[20:04] Niizuma
I thought those were the kinds of
characters people wanted from me.
[20:08] Niizuma
But...
[20:09] Niizuma
I realized that I couldn't get closer
[20:12] Niizuma
to becoming a Dai Star by only playing
the roles people wanted from me.
[20:15] Kokona
So you're working to become a Dai Star, too?
[20:19] Niizuma
Of course!

[20:56] Niizuma
It'll be okay.
[20:58] Niizuma (Genie)
I'm the Genie of the lamp!
[21:00] Niizuma (Genie)
You just need to tell me
what you wish for, Master.
[21:04] Niizuma (Genie)
And then, I'll make it come true.
[21:09] Kokona
Then I have two wishes.
[21:12] Kokona
I wish for this production to
be a success. And...
[21:17] Kokona
I wish for you to
become a Dai Star, Yae-chan.
[21:21] Niizuma
That's...
[21:23] Niizuma
A very lovely wish.

just spit it out.
[07:49] Panda
Koko-chan's performance.
[07:51] Panda
It's been solely for Niizumacchi, hasn't it?
[07:55] Sasuga
Yeah. She's just being the foil.
[07:58] Panda
Is that how a star should be?!
[08:00] Panda
Usually, supporting roles
make the lead shine!
[08:03] Kathrina
Yeah.
[08:04] Kathrina

the story isn't doing it.
[08:08] Sasuga
But Kokona's performance is
definitely getting better.

You're like a real panda. It's cute.
[08:30] Kokona
Well? How was today's show?
[08:33] Shizuka
I felt nothing from your performance.
[08:36] Kokona
Huh?
[08:37] Shizuka
I couldn't understand the Aladdin
you were trying to play at all.
[08:44] Shizuka
Because you're only performing for Yae-chan.
[08:48] Kokona
Th-That's not...
[08:50] Shizuka
Can you really deny it?
[08:53] Shizuka
The play's gotten great reviews,
and the audience seems satisfied.
[08:58] Shizuka
But right now, your performance is bland,
like you're trying to stay out of Yae-chan's way.
[09:06] Shizuka
This is our first lead role.
[09:09] Shizuka
At this rate, you'll just
end up Yae-chan's foil.
[09:13] Shizuka
You understand that, don't you?
[09:15] Shizuka
So let's try this together one more time—
[09:17] Kokona

You said you'd grant me
any wish, didn't you?
[09:38] Niizuma (Genie)
Yup.
[09:39] Niizuma (Genie)
As long as you're the master of the lamp,
[09:42] Niizuma (Genie)
I'll grant you as many wishes as you want!
[09:46] Niizuma (Genie)
Oh! But I can't bring anyone back
from the dead or control anyone's mind!
[09:52] Kokona (Aladdin)
But it can be anything else?
[09:56] Niizuma (Genie)
Sure can! I'll grant you any wish.
[09:59] Niizuma (Genie)
I am the Genie of the Lamp, after all!
[10:03] Kokona
I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan,
but I'm having so much fun right now.
[10:09] Kokona
I mean... I'm on the stage I always
dreamed of, performing with Yae-chan!
[10:14] Kokona (Aladdin)
Genie?
[10:16] Niizuma (Genie)
Hey! You don't believe me, do you?
[10:19] Kokona
I don't care if I'm the foil.
[10:21] Kokona
As long as this play is a success...
As long as the audience is happy!
[10:26] Kokona
Huh?
[10:31] Kokona (Aladdin)
I'm not so sure about a genie
looking like you do...
[10:34] Yae (Genie)
Well, you can't judge a genie by its cover!

Do you think this production of
Arabian Nights is really benefiting SIRIUS?
[13:46] Hiiragi
What do you mean by that?
[13:48] Panda
I'm honestly not sure if it's good for SIRIUS
[13:51] Panda
when the star of Aladdin is being
used as a foil for the Genie.
[13:57] Panda
Am I the only one worried about that?
[14:00] Sasuga
What's Shamo-san saying about it?
[14:04] Hiiragi
I'm the one in charge of this production.
[14:09] Hiiragi
She's leaving everything to me.

How do you feel about our current
production of Arabian Nights?
[14:18] Hiiragi
How do you feel about it, Panda?

Well...
[14:23] Panda
I honestly don't think it
represents SIRIUS at all.
[14:29] Sasuga
Panda...
[14:31] Panda
The reason you made Niizumacchi the
Genie is to make her a Dai Star.
[14:36] Panda
I completely understand that
this benefits SIRIUS.
[14:40] Panda
But if that's the only reason
you decided to use Koko-chan,

"I need to get better for Yae-chan's sake..."
[02:55] Kokona
That's all I could think
while playing Aladdin.
[02:58] Shizuka
You need to get more familiar with the role.
[03:01] Kokona
Yeah.
[03:02] Shizuka
All right!

[03:16] Yae
Great. Thank you very much.
[03:23] Hiiragi
You have so many press requests,
I hardly know what to do.
[03:26] Yae
If possible, I'd like to do them
with Kokona-san.
[03:29] Hiiragi
Now that theater is so mainstream,
[03:31] Hiiragi
audience-goers are connoisseurs.
[03:33] Hiiragi
It doesn't matter if you're the lead.
[03:35] Hiiragi
If an actor has no presence, they vanish.
[03:38] Yae
It's because Kokona-san is working so hard
[03:41] Yae
that I'm able to play the
Genie the way I want.
[03:44] Hiiragi
Is it guilt that's making you
worry so much about Kokona?
[03:47] Yae
Huh?
[03:49] Hiiragi
You had a hunch that this
would happen, didn't you?
[03:54] Hiiragi
Not giving your all up on that stage
[03:57] Hiiragi
isn't just rude to your costars.
It's rude to the audience.
[04:01] Yae
You don't need to worry about that.
[04:07] Shizuka
A kind Aladdin, a powerful
Aladdin, an anxious Aladdin...
[04:17] Shizuka
I played various versions,
so which one felt right?
[04:20] Kokona
You really are amazing, Shizuka-chan.
[04:23] Kokona
If only I could act like that too!
[04:26] Shizuka
You'll be the one on stage, remember?
[04:30] Shizuka
Anyway, I guess you'll just have
to try various Aladdins for yourself.
[04:34] Kokona
You mean I'll have
to change it up each time?
[04:37] Shizuka
You'll be working to perfect the role.
[04:40] Shizuka
I think that's the only way.
[04:42] Shizuka
I'm not going to cause trouble
for everyone, am I?
[04:51] Kokona
Please!
[04:53] Kudo
I don't even know what to say to that...
[04:58] Kathrina
Oh, I found her.
[05:02] Panda
Weren't you going to rehearse with me?
[05:05] Panda
Er...
[05:06] Kathrina
What are you looking at?
[05:07] Sasuga
Kokona just said something
really interesting.
[05:12] Kokona
Please!
[05:14] Shizuka
We promise it'll work out!
[05:16] Kudo
If you change the way you play the role,
we have to change the direction, too.
[05:19] Kudo
And wanting to do that
for every performance is...
[05:23] Kathrina
The lead changing the role with each show?
[05:26] Kathrina
I've never heard of anything like that.
[05:28] Panda
It would also mean changing up
our interactions with her, right?
[05:33] Panda
The other actors and staff won't
take kindly to grandstanding.
[05:38] Kudo
Experimental acting during
a real show is unprofessional.
[05:41] Kudo
Shouldn't you take care of that beforehand?
[05:45] Kudo
The production's going pretty well so far.
[05:49] Kudo
Just learn from this for next time.
[05:51] Kudo
Isn't that enough?
[05:53] Kokona
It's not!
[05:55] Kokona
If I give up now, I don't think I'll
ever be able to take the stage again!
[05:58] Shizuka
Please, let us do this.
[06:01] Kokona
Please!
[06:02] Panda
Talk about selfish.
[06:04] Kathrina
My parents are both pretty nice,
but they fight a lot when it comes to acting.
[06:11] Kathrina
Neither one ever backs down.
[06:13] Kathrina
They've both told me
[06:15] Kathrina
that World Dai Stars should
be just impertinent enough
[06:20] Kathrina
to never relent until
they get what they want.
[06:25] Yae
I'm fine with it.
[06:28] Kudo
This'll put the most stress on you, Yae.
[06:30] Kudo
And there's no guarantee it'll go well.
[06:33] Yae
That's all right.
[06:34] Yae
I'll figure things out.
[06:37] Kokona
Yae-chan...
[06:39] Kathrina
I'm fine with it too.
[06:41] Kathrina
Not that I have that many
scenes with Aladdin.
[06:44] Sasuga
I have a lot, but I'm cool with it.
[06:47] Kudo
You are?
[06:50] Sasuga
The Leila within me said, "Squee."
[06:55] Panda
Leila doesn't say, "squee"!
[06:57] Panda
Well, I'm fine with it too.
[07:00] Kokona
Panda-chan!
[07:01] Panda
It's totally illogical, unprofessional,
and a whole mess of trouble...
[07:08] Panda
But hey, it sounds fun.
[07:11] Panda
What do you say, Hiiragi-san?
[07:18] Hiiragi
Very well.
[07:21] Hiiragi
But you only get to change up
your performance once.
[07:24] Hiiragi
Any more would be too much
of a burden for everyone else.
[07:27] Hiiragi
If you need to get the role down,
do it tonight.
[07:30] Kudo
And if she doesn't?
[07:31] Hiiragi
Then she'll continue playing
the role as she has been.
[07:35] Hiiragi
Even if that means Kokona
will never take the stage again.
[07:39] Shizuka
Huh?
[07:40] Kokona
Thank you very much!
[07:51] Hiiragi
We'll hold a meeting tomorrow morning.
[07:53] Hiiragi
Then we'll do a light dress rehearsal
just prior to showtime.
[07:57] Hiiragi
Inform the other staffers.
[07:59] Kudo
Understood.
[08:01] Hiiragi
This won't be easy,
but I'm counting on all of you.
[08:05] Kokona and Shizuka
Thank you!
[08:07] Kudo
Do your best.
[08:08] Kokona
I will!
[08:14] Hiiragi
Come with me.
[08:15] Kokona
Uh, okay!
[08:17] Sasuga
We should get back to rehearsing.
[08:19] Kathrina
Right.
[08:21] Kathrina
What's wrong?
[08:22] Panda
Did Hiiragi-san just... smile?
[08:33] Hiiragi
It took you too long to find the answer.
[08:35] Kokona
Huh?
[08:37] Hiiragi
Come in.
[08:40] Hiiragi
Shizuka.
[08:41] Shizuka
Y-Yes, ma'am?
[08:42] Hiiragi
You said that you two were
practicing various Aladdins, right?
[08:45] Hiiragi
Did you mean the versions
others have played before you?
[08:50] Shizuka
Yes.
[08:51] Hiiragi
Forget all of that.
[08:53] Shizuka
Huh?!
[08:53] Hiiragi
There's no point in imitating other actors.
[08:57] Hiiragi
Let's start right now by
doing one scene at a time.
[08:59] Hiiragi
I'll play the other roles.

[12:43] [SONG] Song

[12:43] Sasuga
It's the Prince from The Little Mermaid.
[12:49] (Flashback) Kokona
Um, when you say how to use my Sense...
[12:52] (Flashback) Hiiragi
When you played the Prince
from The Little Mermaid,
[12:55] (Flashback) Hiiragi
what were you thinking about, Kokona?
[12:58] (Flashback) Kokona
I was just so caught up in the moment...
[13:00] (Flashback) Kokona
I figured that was how Shizuka-chan
would play the part.
[13:04] (Flashback) Hiiragi
It was a short scene, but you could
clearly tell what the Prince was feeling.
[13:10] (Flashback) Hiiragi
If you're just playing the role,
[13:12] (Flashback) Hiiragi
you can't express
what a character is feeling.
[13:15] (Flashback) Hiiragi
Shizuka must be strangely good
at blending into roles.
[13:20] (Flashback) Hiiragi
Your acting style is close
to perfect immersion.
[13:23] (Flashback) Kokona
Perfect immersion?
[13:25] (Flashback) Hiiragi
That might be the ideal type of
acting you want to adopt, Kokona.
[13:34] Kokona (Aladdin)
Wait!
[13:35] Sasuga (Princess Leila)
Let go of me!
[13:36] Shizuka
What Aladdin feels here
is a faint sense of hope
[13:39] Shizuka
after meeting Leila, who's from
a completely different world.
[13:43] Shizuka
Just maybe, he can finally escape
his days of fighting for survival.
[13:47] Shizuka
So...
[13:48] Kokona (Aladdin)
Please.
[13:53] Kokona (Aladdin)
I'd like to talk with
you for a little longer.
[14:01] Panda (Abdullah)
Will you live your whole life being poor,
or will you step forward into a new life?
[14:07] Panda (Abdullah)
The choice is entirely yours.
[14:11] Shizuka
Aladdin knows nothing
about the outside world,
[14:14] Shizuka
so everything outside
the city is unknown to him.
[14:16] Shizuka
So to meet a mysterious man
who sees right through him...
[14:21] Shizuka
He's nervous and anxious.
[14:26] Panda
She's actually pale and shaking.
[14:29] Panda
It's like she's truly terrified
to go into that cave.
[14:37] Panda
Through Aladdin, even the
audience is feeling it.
[14:40] Hiiragi
To Kokona, Shizuka is the ideal actor.
[14:44] Hiiragi
All she needs to do now is put in
a little sweat to reach that ideal.
[14:48] Hiiragi
That's why I've drilled the basics into
Kokona these past three months.
[14:53] Hiiragi
I had her play a variety of roles
so she could gain experience.
[14:56] Kokona (Aladdin)
This is the lamp he's after.
[15:00] Kokona (Aladdin)
Finally, my life will be...
[15:03] Hiiragi
The comprehension to perfectly
draw out the emotions of a role.
[15:07] Hiiragi
The keen expressive ability to convey
those emotions to the audience.
[15:11] Hiiragi
The two of them together bring
the ideal performance to life.
[15:16] Kokona and Shizuka
That's...
[15:18] Kokona and Shizuka
our Sense!
[15:29] Yae (Genie)
I'm the Genie of the Lamp!
[15:31] Yae (Genie)
I serve whosoever possesses my lamp!

wish your heart desires!

You must be the genie from this lamp.
[15:42] Yae (Genie)
Yup!
[15:44] Yae (Genie)
You're in luck! You're one of a
select few who get to see my powers!

Yae-chan's flaw?
[17:41] (Flashback) Hiiragi
Yes.
[17:43] (Flashback) Hiiragi
No one's realized it yet, though.
[17:46] (Flashback) Hiiragi
Her Sense that allows her to express her
emotions to the audience through song
[17:50] (Flashback) Hiiragi
is entirely too powerful.
[17:52] (Flashback) Hiiragi
By the end of a show, the audience
will only remember Yae Niizuma.
[17:59] (Flashback) Shizuka
But for a performance, that's...
[18:01] (Flashback) Hiiragi
The world will never acknowledge an actor
who destroys a performance as a Dai Star.
[18:06] (Flashback) Kokona
Um... Why are you telling us this?
[18:13] Kokona (Aladdin)
Do you hear the revelry?
[18:17] Kokona (Aladdin)
Everyone's intoxicated

[02:06] Shizuka
"A performance of note
was Kokona Otori as Aladdin."
[02:10] Shizuka
"Her Aladdin was overflowing with humanity,
and she captivated the audience."
[02:17] Shizuka
That's amazing! This writer is famous
for being a super-harsh critic!
[02:22] Kokona
This means our acting
reached the audience, right?
[02:30] Shizuka
Let's buy another copy.
[02:33] Kokona
Huh?
[02:33] Shizuka
We need to send it to your parents.
[02:38] Kokona
Yeah!
[02:43] Panda
When you think of summer...
[02:48] Panda
This is the stuff.
[02:50] Sasuga
It's a summer tradition.
[02:52] Panda
So, how do you find things at SIRIUS lately?
[02:56] Sasuga
I think things are relaxing quite nicely.
[03:00] Panda
Koko-chan, Kathrin, and Niizumacchi all seem
to be affecting each other positively.
[03:05] Panda
They're in top form now.
[03:06] Sasuga
They sure are.
[03:12] Panda
You know, I think we might just make it.
[03:16] Panda
If we can keep this hype going,
we might be able to get
[03:19] Panda
SIRIUS back to how it used to be...
[03:25] Panda
Um, hello?
[03:26] Sasuga
Hmm?
[03:27] Panda
Keep it coming.
[03:31] Hiiragi
Today, we start rehearsal for our
annual special theatrical showcase.
[03:36] Kokona
Special theatrical showcase?
[03:38] Panda
Every year, SIRIUS puts on a performance
for the grade school kids of Taito Ward.
[03:44] Panda
We're looking for interested children,
and the chosen are invited to our troupe.
[03:49] Hiiragi
The showcase is also for the
purpose of nurturing future Dai Stars.
[03:54] Hiiragi
Remain focused in order to put on
a good show for your younger peers.
[03:59] Panda
Hiiragi-san!
[04:00] Hiiragi
What is it?
[04:01] Panda
Um... Has the play already been decided?
[04:11] Hiiragi
It's King Lear, same as last year.
[04:16] Panda
I knew it...
[04:19] Sasuga
The boss is dead set on it...
[04:22] Panda
But doing King Lear
for grade schoolers is, uh...
[04:24] Hiiragi
We don't have much time to rehearse,
so I chose the same play.
[04:28] Hiiragi
Any objections?
[04:30] Kokona
What's King Lear about?
[04:32] Shizuka
A king betrayed by his daughters
and exiled from his land
[04:36] Shizuka
is taken by madness and slowly withers.
[04:38] Shizuka
It's a tragedy about human absurdity.
[04:45] Hiiragi
If you have something to say, then say it.
[04:48] Kathrina
Why are we doing King Lear for
a bunch of grade school kids?
[04:51] Terahara and Kamiyashiki
She actually said it!
[04:53] Panda
Excellent, Kathrin! You tell her!
[04:57] Kathrina
King Lear is one of Shakespeare's
four great tragedies,
[04:59] Kathrina
but it's famous for being
one of the most difficult.
[05:02] Kathrina
Seems a bit much for children.
[05:05] Hiiragi
True, the play might be difficult,
[05:07] Hiiragi
but it's also important for kids to see the
classics when they're impressionable.
[05:12] Kathrina
Will they even understand it?
[05:14] Hiiragi
It's our job to make sure they do.
[05:18] Panda
It's no use...
[05:20] Panda
At this rate,
the same tragedy will befall us!
[05:26] (Flashback) Boy
I'm scared!
[05:28] (Flashback) Girl
Take me home!
[05:30] (Flashback) Kids
No!
[05:33] (Flashback) Kids
I wanna go home!
[05:41] Terahara
What should we do?!
[05:42] Kamiyashiki
There has to be something we can do!
[05:44] Sasuga
Panda...
[05:46] Hiiragi
When I was in grade school,
[05:48] Hiiragi
I saw King Lear at the National Theatre
in London and was deeply moved!
[05:54] Panda
For sure! King Lear is an absolute classic!
[05:57] Panda
I'm sure many would be moved by it!
[06:00] Panda
But last year, the kids got scared
and cried in the middle of it!
[06:04] Girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[06:05] Hiiragi
Well, there isn't anything we can do—
[06:06] Panda
Of course there is!
[06:08] Panda
The point of the showcase
is to nurture future Dai Stars.
[06:13] Panda
As Kathrin said, King Lear is a bit
much for grade schoolers.
[06:16] Panda
So what we need to do is choose a play
[06:20] Panda
that can move everyone and
get them to fall in love with theater!
[06:24] Sasuga
I agree with Panda.
[06:25] Terahara and Kamiyashiki
We do too!
[06:37] Hiiragi
I guess you have a point.
[06:41] Sign
Victory!!
[06:45] Kathrin
What in the world happened last year?
[06:47] Kudo
This is going to be a test performance,
so why don't we leave it to the girls?
[06:53] Hiiragi
All right, let's discuss what play to put on.
[06:58] Kathrina
How about one like The Little
Mermaid that's based on a fairytale?
[07:02] Panda
That's a great idea. SIRIUS
has quite a few in its repetoire.
[07:06] Kokona
If we want them to get a real taste of
theater, maybe it should be Shakespeare?
[07:10] Shizuka
I think a comedy would be easier
for a child to understand than a tragedy.
[07:14] Kathrina
Well, if it's a Shakespearean comedy we want...
[07:17] Sasuga
Twelfth Night, As You Like It,
or Much Ado About Nothing, probably?
[07:22] Panda
Hmm... We should probably go with
something a little more mainstream.
[07:27] Niizuma
This is rather orthodox,
but how about Romeo and Juliet?
[07:33] Niizuma
Romeo and Juliet is usually
considered a tragedy,
[07:36] Niizuma
but it also has romantic comedy aspects.
[07:39] Niizuma
The story is also very moving and easy to
follow, so I think they might enjoy it.
[07:44] Kathrina
I think that's fine.
I'm sure they all know it.
[07:47] Kokona
It is pretty famous.
[07:50] Hiiragi
Sounds like we have our play.
[07:51] Hiiragi
We'll be doing Romeo and Juliet
for the special theatrical showcase.
[07:57] Kokona
What?!
[08:00] Kokona
You're not going to be in it, Yae-chan?!

so playing in it gives me
a lot to think about.

Sasuga-chan! I'll be Romeo's friend Benvolio.
I look forward to acting alongside you.
[08:43] Sasuga
Same.

I can't wait to see you two star in this play.

I'm excited to learn from your performance.
[08:50] Panda
No way! You saying that is...

A grade school girl who goes
to about 400 plays a year,
[09:36] Panda
earning her the nickname
"the Theater Professor."
[09:42] Sasuga
She's why the boss really
wanted to do King Lear.
[09:47] Shizuka
Did something happen?
[09:48] Sasuga
After last year's show...
[09:51] (Flashback) Chika
I truly felt SIRIUS's soul in making
a brave choice like King Lear so boldly.
[09:55] (Flashback) Chika
But did you forget that your audience
today was grade school students?
[09:59] (Flashback) Chika
With that in mind, you should have chosen
something to make SIRIUS shine.
[10:03] (Flashback) Chika
As someone who's followed SIRIUS for years,
I was disappointed with this King Lear.
[10:08] (Flashback) Chika
To quickly sum up everything wrong
with this performance in an hour...
[10:12] Kokona
She gave notes to Hiiragi-san?!
[10:15] Shizuka
What a terrifying grade schooler...
[10:17] Panda
She told us off, too.
[10:19] Sasuga
Yup, yup.
[10:20] Panda
So, Koko-chan!
[10:22] Panda
We absolutely cannot lose this battle!
[10:26] Kokona
"Battle"?
[10:28] Panda
Sassu! This time, we'll
really knock her socks off!
[10:32] Sasuga
I'd love to make her
put a sock in it too.
[10:35] Panda
We'll sock it to her, for sure!
[10:38] Hiiragi
We'll start rehearsal in ten.
Make sure you're ready!
[10:42] All
Yes, ma'am!
[10:44] Niizuma

I suddenly want to be up on stage.

My life were better ended by

wanting of thy love!
[11:28] Panda
She's always so spacey, but she
completely changes onstage.
[11:34] Panda
I used to be so jealous of Sassu,
who could do everything.
[11:44] Panda
Sassu and I were childhood friends
who lived near each other.
[11:48] Panda
We were always together.

From forth the fatal loins
of these two foes...
[17:22] Panda (Juliet)

[17:25] Sasuga (Romeo)
doth with their death bury...
[17:28] Panda (Juliet)
their parents' strife.

They're following the original play
while adding a SIRIUS twist. Not bad.
[17:47] Sasuga (Romeo)
O Juliet...
[17:50] Sasuga (Romeo)
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

O Romeo, if you love me,
tell me from your heart...
[18:04] Panda
Crap!
[18:12] Chika
And it was all going so well
up until now. How disappointing.
[18:28] Sasuga (Romeo)
Let us swear under the holy moon
[18:32] Sasuga (Romeo)
the love from our hearts.
[18:35] Chika
What?! That was part of the act?!

The friar gave me medicine.
[20:16] PAnda (Juliet)
Medicine to make it appear
as if I were no longer alive.
[20:20] Panda (Juliet)
For if I were dead, I would be free
of my engagement to Count Paris.
[20:25] Panda (Juliet)
We'd be free from our crimes.
And I could live my life with you.
[20:30] Sasuga (Romeo)
Thank you, Juliet.
[20:34] Sasuga (Romeo)
This love of ours should be able to end
the feud between our families.

I feel alive again. Thanks.
[03:46] Kokona

Ah, so you drank too much.
[04:02] Shizuka
Now that you mention it,
she does reek of alcohol.
[04:04] Shizuka
Kokona, let's get some air in here!
[04:06] Kokona
Right!
[04:11] Hiiragi
I heard that you've been visiting
various troupes these past few days.
[04:16] Kokona
I have! I've been visiting an improv
troupe with Kathrina-chan
[04:19] Kokona
where we can participate on the fly.
[04:22] Kokona
We're actually going again today.
[04:25] Hiiragi
That sounds fun.
[04:27] Kokona
It is!
[04:28] Kokona
Ever since Arabian Knights,
I've fallen even more in love with acting!
[04:32] Kokona
It's just so much fun!
[04:35] Niizuma
Must be nice...
[04:38] Niizuma
If I didn't have summer vacation
homework, I could've joined you...
[04:42] Kokona
Yae-chan?!
[04:44] Hiiragi
What homework do you have today?
[04:45] Niizuma
It's calligraphy, so I came by
to have Shamo-san teach me.
[04:49] Niizuma
Tomorrow, I have sewing for home ec.
The day after that, I have kanji drills...
[04:55] Shizuka
I guess grade-schoolers
have their own troubles.
[05:04] Kokona
Kathrina-chan! We should get going.
[05:07] Kathrina
No way!
[05:08] Kokona
What's up, Kathrina-chan?
[05:10] Shizuka
Is something the matter?
[05:12] Kathrina
M-My mama just said... she's in Asakusa.
[05:18] Kokona
Mama?
[05:19] Shizuka
Your mama?
[05:20] Shizuka
Y-You don't mean...
[05:23] Randos
Theresa Griebel is seriously here?!
[05:25] Randos
What's a World Dai Star doing in Asakusa?!
[05:31] Kathrina
Mama!
[05:33] Theresa
Kathrina!
SIGN It's been so long. I've missed you!
SIGN Me too, Mama.
[05:46] Kokona
S-So bright!
[05:47] Shizuka
That's a World Dai Star for you!
Her aura's on another level!
[05:51] Kathrina
It's just backlighting, you dummies.
[05:53] Theresa
Oh, my!
[05:54] Theresa
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Theresa, Kathrina's mother.
[05:59] Theresa
You must be Kokona and Shizuka.
[06:01] Theresa
Kathrina's told me all about you.
[06:02] Kokona
Th-That's us.
[06:04] Shizuka
It's nice to meet you.
[06:05] Theresa
Wow!
[06:06] Shizuka
Huh?!
[06:07] Theresa
You can touch her and she can talk...
Is she really a Sense?
[06:11] Shizuka
U-Um...
[06:20] Kathrina
Mama?!
[06:21] Kokona
Theresa-san?!
[06:23] Theresa
Oh, I'm sorry. I was just so curious.
[06:27] Theresa
What a curious Sense.
Will wonders never cease?
[06:36] Kokona
Dugong-chan?
[06:38] Theresa
Who's this little one?
[06:39] Kokona
Um... sort of a pet that belongs to SIRIUS.
Maybe more like a mascot.
[06:44] Kokona
Meet Dugong-chan.
[06:48] Kokona
Dugong-chan tagged along when we
said we'd be meeting you.
[06:52] Kathrina
Be careful. That rodent bites.
[06:55] Theresa
I see...
[07:09] Theresa
I guess the little critter likes me!
[07:11] Shizuka
Totally wrapped around your finger...
[07:13] Kathrina
You little rodent...
[07:16] Kokona
World class...
[07:19] Kathrina
So, why did you suddenly come to Japan?
You're pretty busy, Mama.
[07:24] Theresa
Well, I got some free time
and wanted to see my daughter.
[07:29] Kathrina
Is that the only reason?
[07:31] Theresa
Yes. Though sadly, I have
to leave tomorrow morning.
[07:35] Kathrina
Huh?
[07:36] Theresa
Oh, I know!
[07:38] Theresa
Do you girls know a lot about Asakusa?
[07:41] Kokona
Oh, yeah.
[07:42] Theresa
Then could you show me around?
[07:44] Theresa
It'd be a waste to come all the way to Japan
and not do anything touristy.
[07:48] Shizuka
Right now?!
[07:49] Theresa
So with that settled, let's go!
[07:53] Kathrina
I see you're as pushy as ever.

People are really staring...
[08:18] Kathrina
Well, there's a World Dai Star here.
What do you expect?
[08:21] Theresa
Come now! There's no time to waste relaxing.
[08:25] Theresa
Where are we going next?
[08:27] Kokona
Well, if you want the
real Asakusa experience...

so you can meet her later.
[10:08] Niizuma

Theresa-san, you didn't sweat at all...
in spite of the heat.
[10:51] Kathrina
World Dai Stars don't sweat.
That's what my mama told me.
[10:56] Shizuka
She's definitely lying to you about that.
[10:59] Kokona
But she's so beautiful that
I'd actually believe it!
[11:05] Kathrina
Yeah.
[11:14] Kathrina
I thought I'd be just like her immediately...
[11:20] Kokona
Kathrina-chan?
[11:21] Kathrina
N-Never mind!
[11:28] Hiiragi
We've been waiting for you, Theresa-san.
[11:31] Hiiragi
I'm Noa Hiiragi. It's an honor to meet you.
[11:34] Theresa
Thank you for looking after my daughter.
[11:38] Theresa
Our troupe extended an invitation to you,
but I guess you turned us down.
[11:43] Theresa
I'm sad I can't perform with you.
[11:46] Hiiragi
I didn't think I was ready for it yet.
[11:51] Theresa
I see.
[11:53] Theresa
Is Shamo here?
[11:54] Hiiragi
She's inside.
[12:01] Theresa
Shamo!
[12:03] Theresa
Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo!
[12:06] Shamo
It's been ages, Theresa.
[12:08] Theresa
I missed you so much!
[12:10] Shamo
I've missed you too. How long has it been?
[12:14] Theresa
Since before I married Tobias, so...
[12:17] Theresa
Since we costarred in A Midsummer
Night's Dream in Paris!
[12:20] Theresa
I played Puck and you played Titania!
[12:23] Shamo
What lovely memories.
[12:26] Shamo
I clearly remember you throwing a fit
because you wanted to be Titania.
[12:31] Theresa
I could play the role beautifully now,
[12:33] Theresa
but I still can't live up to your Titania.
[12:36] Panda
Yeesh, she's definitely a World Dai Star!
Her aura's intense!
[12:41] Niizuma
Super intense!
[12:42] Kathrina
Is that what the kids say these days?
[12:47] Sasuga
I came back in a rush.
[12:50] Sasuga
Which do you think she'd like best as a gift?
[12:54] Kokona
U-Uh...
[12:55] Shizuka
Maybe you should cook them first.
[13:04] Theresa
This is a lovely stage
that's hosted many actors.
[13:07] Theresa
I can feel its history.
[13:09] Shamo
Your daughter's also working hard right now.
[13:12] Theresa
Yes.
[13:14] Theresa
Thank you for letting her join your troupe.
[13:17] Shamo
Kathrina's talent is what got her in,
[13:20] Shamo
though she seems to be having
some growing pains now.
[13:26] Niizuma
Excuse me.
[13:28] Niizuma
It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Yae Niizuma.
[13:32] Theresa
Yae! I saw your performance!
[13:35] Niizuma
Huh?!
[13:36] Theresa
As Princess Kaguya and the Genie of the Lamp.
[13:39] Theresa
Your closing show for Arabian Nights
was especially magnificent.
[13:43] Niizuma
I-I'm honored...
[13:47] Kokona
So, um... We have a favor
to ask you, Theresa-san.
[13:52] Theresa
What is it? An autograph? Sure.
[13:54] Kokona
I'd love one! But...
[13:57] Niizuma
Even just for a second...
could we see you perform?
[14:03] Theresa
Me?
[14:05] Kokona
Yes! We wanted to see
a World Dai Star's acting live.
[14:09] Kokona
Please!
[14:11] Niizuma
Please!
[14:16] Theresa
Hmm...
[14:24] Theresa
If Noa will do it with me, sure.
[14:28] All
Huh?!
[14:29] Sasuga
The boss and Theresa-san are
going to perform together?
[14:32] Panda
That's too epic!
[14:37] Niizuma
Hiiragi-san...
[14:38] Kokona
Please, Hiiragi-san!
[14:47] Hiiragi
All right, just one scene.
[14:51] Girls
Yay! That's amazing!
[14:58] Kokona
I wonder what they're going to perform.
[15:23] Hiiragi (Phantom)
I'm the one who brought you here
[15:26] Hiiragi (Phantom)
so that we could indulge
this passion together.
[15:30] Hiiragi (Phantom)
Your heart is under my control.
[15:35] Hiiragi (Phantom)
You can never turn back.
[15:41] Hiiragi (Phantom)
You can never even glance back at the past.
[15:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
Give yourself to me.
[15:50] Hiiragi (Phantom)
What kind of desires will burn through us?
[15:53] Hiiragi (Phantom)
What kind of sweet temptations await us?
[15:59] Theresa (Christine)
You were guiding me,
though I understood nothing...
[16:04] Theresa (Christine)
Yet now I am here with you.
[16:07] Theresa (Christine)
I will never turn back.
[16:09] Theresa (Christine)
It's finally begun... our passion play!
[16:18] Hiiragi (Phantom) and Theresa (Christine)
It'll burn through us!
[16:32] Hiiragi (Phantom)
This is our final play!
[16:34] Theresa (Christine)
The curtain rises!
[16:34] Hiiragi (Phantom)
The final play!
[16:35] Theresa (Christine)
The final performance draws near!
[16:38] Hiiragi (Phantom)
We can no longer turn back, Christine.
[16:45] Theresa (Christine)
Phantom...
[16:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
What's your next line?
[16:50] Theresa (Christine)
Why...?
[16:52] Hiiragi (Phantom)
I should be the one to play Don Juan.
[17:02] Hiiragi (Phantom)
Come... Let us fall to hell together!
[17:13] Theresa
I think that's about enough.
[17:15] Hiiragi
Sure.
[17:25] Panda
Oh, crap... I seriously thought I
was at the opera house for a second.
[17:29] Sasuga
Me too, even without a set or costumes.
[17:33] Niizuma
My heart is pounding!
[17:35] Shizuka
So that's how a World Dai Star performs...
[17:38] Kathrina
She really is amazing.
[17:40] Kokona
Hiiragi-san was amazing, too.
[17:42] Kokona
I think she was playing her part
so we'd all be looking at Theresa-san.
[17:47] Kokona
She was truly like a phantom.
[17:49] Kokona
But right there at the end...
[17:54] Kokona (Phantom)
Come! Let us fall to hell together!
[18:00] Kokona
Something like that.
[18:02] Panda
You sure got guts to imitate
that right after seeing it.
[18:05] Sasuga
Nerves of orichalcum.
[18:07] Kokona
Huh?
[18:07] Kokona
U-U-Uh, I just...
[18:13] Theresa
It seems your Sense helps bring out
the performance of your costars.
[18:18] Theresa
Thanks to you, I was able to give
a show close to the original.
[18:21] Theresa
I appreciate it.
[18:22] Hiiragi
It was nothing.
[18:23] Hiiragi
I got to experience what it's like to work
with a World Dai Star's Sense again.
[18:29] Hiiragi
It's so far away...
[18:31] Theresa
The more you understand yourself,
the more your Sense will evolve.
[18:35] Theresa
I'll be waiting until then.
[18:43] Theresa
This was such a fun day.
[18:46] Theresa
Thank you so much for spending
it with me, Kathrina.
[18:49] Kathrina
You're not going to say anything?
[18:52] Kathrina
I thought you came here to scold me for
what a disappointment I've been.
[18:56] Kathrina
I've done nothing of note
even after performing
[19:00] Kathrina
in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
Arabian Nights, and Romeo and Juliet.
[19:05] Kathrina
I'm only getting attention because I'm
the daughter of a World Dai Star.
[19:09] Kathrina
I haven't left any deeper
impression than that...
[19:15] Kathrina
Even though Kokona has.
[19:19] Theresa
But you haven't been
cutting corners, have you?
[19:22] Kathrina
No.
[19:23] Theresa
Then I don't see a problem.
[19:25] Theresa
You're doing your best.
[19:28] Kathrina
You think so?
[19:32] Theresa
The reason I came to SIRIUS is to discuss
the future of Kathrina Griebel's work.
[19:38] Kathrina
My work?
[19:40] Theresa
You've received a number
of offers from various troupes.
[19:43] Kathrina
Huh?
[19:45] Theresa
They've seen your SIRIUS performances.
[19:48] Theresa
They know about your mishap in
Germany, but they still want you.
[19:54] Kathrina
B-But that's so sudden...
[19:57] Theresa
Opportunities appear all the time
before you're actually ready.
[20:03] Theresa
Is there a reason you have to stay here?
[20:06] Theresa
I'll get you the papers
from the troupes later.
[20:09] Theresa
Give me your answer by the
time I leave Japan tomorrow.
[20:13] Theresa
I'll honor your wishes, no matter what.

[22:48] Kudo
Still, we've never had so much trouble
deciding on our fall show before.
[22:53] Kudo
The reasonable decision is to go with Yae.
[22:55] Kudo
Her acting skills are...
[22:58] Panda
But Panda's not too shabby either.
[23:01] Panda
I mean, she's so adorable, her Sense is
super awesome, and she's got plenty of fans.
[23:04] Panda
We'll just have to go with Panda!
[23:07] Sasuga
I'd really like that, myself.
[23:10] Panda
Don't take me seriously!
[23:12] Kudo
What should we do?
[23:18] Hiiragi
Our upcoming fall production will be...

I figured she'd try for Christine.

Is he human or a devil?
[05:27] Shizuka
Such rumors surrounding the Phantom
all have the ring of truth.
[05:33] Shizuka
Christine is still a yet unknown singer
[05:36] Shizuka
who lends her voice to the opera house's
prima donna, Carlotta.
[05:41] Shizuka
The production is a huge success.
[05:46] Shizuka
But all the praise goes
to Christine's singing.
[05:50] Shizuka
Frustrated, Carlotta begins spreading
bad rumors about Christine.
[05:56] Shizuka
Christine finds out about this
and is deeply hurt by it.
[06:02] Shizuka
Then there's an accident.
[06:20] Shizuka
Christine has a sensational debut.
[06:23] Shizuka
Her voice charms Raoul, her childhood friend
who happens to be in the crowd.
[06:32] Shizuka
They reunite and rekindle
[06:34] Shizuka
their romantic feelings for one another
from their younger days.
[06:38] Shizuka
But the Phantom cannot
allow them to be together...
[06:45] Shizuka
for he was the one who'd awoken
Christine's vocal talent.
[06:56] Shizuka
Driven mad by jealousy,
[06:59] Shizuka
the Phantom kidnaps Christine
and heads deep into the abyss.
[07:04] Shizuka
Some of this is definitely
a departure from the original,
[07:08] Shizuka
but the Phantom is fundamentally the same.
[07:12] Shizuka
The key here is how to portray
the anger and solitude
[07:15] Shizuka
the Phantom feels being shunned
by society for his hideous face.
[07:25] Shizuka
No one will love me.
No one understands me.
[07:32] Shizuka
I shall channel my rage into song!
[07:35] Shizuka
As my heart wills!
[07:37] Shizuka
So that I may forget my loneliness!
[07:44] Shizuka
Music? It must be the opera.
[07:49] Shizuka
I cannot stand the sound of it.
[07:52] Shizuka
Let me play!
[07:54] Shizuka
I'll give you a true opera!
[07:56] Shizuka
It should be me!
[08:02] Shizuka
No, that's impossible...
[08:07] Shizuka
I am but a shadow. A hideous monster.
[08:19] Shizuka
Yae-chan?
[08:21] Niizuma
The Phantom's étude of rage...
[08:24] Niizuma
That was magnificent.

The Phantom of the Opera
[08:27] Niizuma
We've only just received the scripts,
yet you're already so into the role.
[08:32] Niizuma
I must say, I'm a bit jealous.
[08:35] Shizuka
It's no big deal.
I've still got a ways to go.
[08:38] Shizuka
I need to delve even deeper
to really get into the Phantom.
[08:44] Niizuma
Won't you take part in the play, Shizuka-san?
[08:47] Shizuka
Huh?
[08:48] Niizuma
I mean, all of us
and the audience can see you,
[08:53] Niizuma
so I don't see the problem
with you performing.
[08:58] Niizuma
Don't you want to try to play the Phantom?
[09:01] Niizuma
When I saw you acting just now,
I could feel your yearning to be onstage.
[09:06] Shizuka
That'll never happen. I mean...
[09:12] Shizuka
I'm Kokona's Sense.
[09:16] Niizuma
I see...
[09:21] Niizuma
Would you mind reading some lines with me?
[09:25] Shizuka
Huh?
[09:27] Niizuma
I suddenly feel like I want to be
in this production with you.
[09:32] Sign
The Phantom of the Opera
[09:37] Shizuka
Sure.
[09:39] Shizuka
If you think I can do it.
[09:44] Panda
The Phantom and Raoul both fall for Christine,
and she doesn't know what to do!
[09:49] Panda
How unfair! I want to be loved too!
[09:52] Sasuga
I thought you wanted to be the Phantom, Panda.
[09:55] Panda
I do, but it'd also be fun to play Christine.
[09:59] Panda
We only got bit roles
the last time we did this show.
[10:02] Sasuga
We were just nameless ensemble characters.
[10:05] Sign

[10:06] Sign
The Phantom of the Opera
[10:07] Sasuga
Playing the lead is nice, but the supporting
roles in the SIRIUS version are good too.
[10:11] Panda
I know, right?
[10:13] Panda
In the original story, the ballerina
Sorelli doesn't stand out too much,
[10:17] Panda
but she's a key character here.
[10:20] Sasuga
She's Christine's best friend and the only
one who knows about the Phantom's past.
[10:25] Panda
Carlotta's also pretty dramatized, too.
[10:28] Panda
The audience is supposed to despise her,
but she has a humanity to her
[10:32] Panda
that makes her hard to hate. It's great.
[10:34] Sasuga
I'm sure you could make her cute.
[10:37] Panda
I think you'd be a decent Sorelli, Sassu.
[10:39] Panda
It's basically a storyteller-type role,
[10:41] Panda
and you're really convincing when
you're on the stage by yourself.
[10:47] Panda and Sasuga
Hmm...
[10:51] Sign
Audition for the Phantom role
in 7 days!!
[10:51] Panda
We were supposed to be
thinking about the Phantom.
[10:55] Sasuga
Yeah.
[10:56] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[11:07] Niizuma
I guess that about does it.
[11:08] Shizuka
I feel like I'm starting to see it.
[11:10] Niizuma
I think I'm starting to get the role, too.
[11:13] Shizuka
Thanks, Yae-chan.
[11:15] Niizuma
I should be thanking you.
[11:17] Shizuka
I want to try this with Kokona immediately!
[11:24] Niizuma
I need to go deeper...
[11:26] Niizuma
to become one with the Phantom.
[11:32] Niizuma
The Phantom's parents abandoned
him when he was young,
[11:35] Niizuma
selling him to a freak show
where he lived a horrible life.
[11:43] Niizuma
They worked him ragged every single day,
[11:46] Niizuma
and the drunken promoter would beat him.
[11:50] Niizuma
He lost the will to live.
[11:56] Niizuma
It was Sorelli who saved him.
[12:01] Niizuma
She secreted the Phantom away
to the basement of the opera house.
[12:06] Niizuma
That was where he came to know opera
[12:10] Niizuma
and fell in love with Christine's singing.
[12:21] Niizuma
I've still got so far to go...
[12:24] Hiiragi (Phantom)
What are you doing in my seat?
[12:30] Hiiragi (Phantom)
The fifth box at the
opera house belongs to me.
[12:35] Hiiragi (Phantom)
No one else is allowed to sit here.
[12:38] Niizuma
But SIRIUS allows people up here sometimes!
[12:42] Hiiragi
SIRIUS's Phantom is rather generous.
[12:45] Niizuma
Glad to hear it.
[12:51] Hiiragi
What made you decide to audition?
[12:55] Niizuma
Just like when I asked to play the Genie,
[12:58] Niizuma
I wanted to challenge myself.
[13:00] Niizuma
To try for a role so unlike me.
[13:03] Hiiragi
Every true actor wants to play a role
completely unlike themselves.
[13:09] Niizuma
Hiiragi-san, what do you want
to see in this audition?
[13:16] Hiiragi
The potential of Senses.
[13:19] Hiiragi
The clashing of your Senses
might give rise to something.
[13:25] Hiiragi
A performance far beyond what I could reach...
[13:30] Niizuma
I knew it.
Now I really can't lose this audition.
[13:36] Hiiragi
I'm looking forward to it.
[13:39] Niizuma
If you had been the Phantom, Hiiragi-san...
[13:43] Niizuma
I would've loved to be your Christine.
[13:48] Hiiragi
Thank you.
[14:00] Shizuka
How was that?
[14:01] Kokona
I mean, it was amazing.
[14:04] Kokona
I could really feel the Phantom's
rage and loneliness.
[14:07] Kokona
But...
[14:11] Shizuka
You're not satisfied with this performance?
[14:14] Kokona
N-No, that's not it!
[14:16] Kokona
But I think there might be a
different way to approach it.
[14:21] Shizuka
A different way?
[14:22] Kokona
Yeah. When I read the script,
the Phantom I envisioned
[14:26] Kokona
was sitting all alone in the dark,
hugging his knees.
[14:30] Kokona
He was so lonely and desperate.
[14:35] Kokona
I'm sure he just wanted
to be loved by someone.
[14:44] Phantom (Kokona)
I always have the same dream...
[14:46] Phantom (Kokona)
I'm walking under the sun
with nothing to hide.
[14:50] Phantom (Kokona)
I can dine out like normal people do.
[14:54] Phantom (Kokona)
I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[14:58] Phantom (Kokona)
No matter how unsightly I am,
I still seek the light.
[15:03] Shizuka
Playing the Phantom as a man
who's filled with dreams is...
[15:07] Kokona
That wasn't exactly great,
but how about something like that?
[15:14] Kokona
Oh, but your version was much more like
[15:17] Kokona
the classic Phantom of the Opera.
[15:20] Kokona
Maybe we should go with that instead...
[15:22] Shizuka
No.
[15:23] Kokona
Huh?
[15:25] Shizuka
We should portray your Phantom, Kokona.
[15:29] Kokona
But...
[15:31] Shizuka
If we don't, we won't get this role.
[15:35] Kokona
Huh?
[15:40] Kathrina
The most important part of playing
the Phantom is his negative emotions.
[15:45] Kathrina
The rage and loneliness he feels
from being shunned from society
[15:48] Kathrina
turn into madness
as he descends into the abyss.
[16:04] Shizuka
She's able to figure out how she wants
to play roles all by herself now...
[16:16] Panda
You want to observe?
[16:18] Panda
Yeah, that's totally fine.
We have nothing to hide.
[16:23] Sasuga
Come on in.
[16:27] Terahara (Christine)
"Phantom"? Is that your name?
[16:31] Sasuga (Phantom)
Yes, that's what my mother called me.
[16:36] Sasuga (Phantom)
Let us eat. I just got
some excellent red wine.
[16:40] Kokona
The Phantom and Christine's meeting...
[16:41] Terahara (Christine)
Why do you wear a mask?
[16:43] Sasuga (Phantom)
One who can't hide their pain
with a mask of smiles
[16:46] Sasuga (Phantom)
nor their delight with a mask of indifference
cannot consider themselves a true Parisian.
[16:52] Sasuga (Phantom)
Let's just say it's for my amusement.
[16:55] Kokona
She's so cool!
[16:57] Shizuka
Her Phantom is an elegant gentleman
despite the loneliness he feels.
[17:01] Shizuka
Anyone else trying a stylish Phantom
would be at a disadvantage.
[17:06] Kudo
Next, Panda and Kamiyashiki.
[17:08] Panda and Kamiyashiki
Right!
[17:12] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
Is this like a masquerade, then?
[17:15] Panda (Phantom)
Indeed.
[17:17] Panda (Phantom)
There are things in this world that
you're better off not knowing.
[17:21] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
But I want to know...
[17:24] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
more about you.
[17:25] Panda (Phantom)
Don't touch me!
[17:28] Panda (Phantom)
Listen well. If you want to live
here in peace, do not anger me.
[17:35] Shizuka
She's playing the Phantom
exactly as he's written.
[17:37] Shizuka
And with Panda's Sense,
[17:40] Shizuka
she can give the judges
exactly what they want.
[17:44] Kokona
Their Phantoms were really something!
[17:47] Kokona
It's the same role,
but they made it totally different!
[17:49] Shizuka
Now's not the time to be impressed.
[17:52] Shizuka
You have to beat both of them!
[17:55] Shizuka
Next up, Yae-chan and Kathrina are going
to be rehearsing on stage, so let's go watch.
[18:00] Kokona
Yeah!
[18:02] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
Two shadows overlap as this melody wavers
[18:07] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
Until we fall into the abyss
[18:11] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
I will swear myself to you for eternity
[18:11] Shizuka
Her Sense is always incredible.
[18:15] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
Even our sins can be hidden
[18:15] Shizuka
We need a way to hold our own
that isn't through song.
[18:18] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
In this masquerade
[18:30] Niizuma
Kathrina-san?
[18:33] Niizuma
I hope you don't mind me
using the stage before you.
[18:37] Kathrina
Hey, would you read lines with me?
[18:43] Shizuka
They're...
[18:46] Kokona
Yae-chan's playing Christine?
[18:49] Niizuma
I'm ready whenever you are.
[18:51] Kathrina
Then let's do act 1, scene 9,
starting from when Christine wakes up.
[19:01] Niizuma (Christine)
Who are you?
[19:04] Niizuma (Christine)
An angel? Or a demon?
[19:09] Niizuma (Christine)
I want to know more about you.
[19:12] Niizuma (Christine)
Because you gave my song wings...
[19:16] Niizuma (Christine)
I want to get to know you.
[19:21] Kathrina (Phantom)
You chose to come here.
[19:25] Kathrina (Phantom)
There's no turning back now!
[19:26] Niizuma (Christine)
I'm sorry! I—
[19:29] Niizuma
Huh?
[19:35] Shizuka
Did she just... predict what
Yae-chan would do next?
[19:38] Hiiragi
The effectiveness of her Sense
has increased exponentially.
[19:42] Kathrina (Phantom)
Take a good look at my
hideous face, Christine...
[19:46] Kathrina (Phantom)
This repulsive visage
burned by the flames of hell!
[19:50] Kathrina (Phantom)
Now you understand, don't you?
[19:52] Kathrina (Phantom)
I am no angel. I am the Phantom
of the Opera that you all fear.
[20:03] Hiiragi
She upstaged Yae.
[20:15] Panda
Kathrin...
[20:19] Hiiragi
She took the rage and loneliness
the Phantom held within for years
[20:24] Hiiragi
and turned it into madness.
[20:26] Shizuka
That isn't a facade. It's real acting.
[20:31] Shizuka
Seeing this just...
[20:34] Niizuma
Don't you want to try to play the Phantom?
[20:42] Shizuka
This feeling...
[20:50] Kathrina
Thank you for playing Christine.
[20:54] Niizuma
Kathrina-san, you—
[20:55] Kathrina
Stay away!
[20:57] Kathrina
The Phantom is still inside of me.
[21:18] Kokona
Everyone was so amazing.
[21:21] Kokona
Especially Kathrina-chan's Phantom.
[21:26] Kokona
I wonder how I can play a role like that.
[21:34] Kokona
I'm pretty sure my Phantom
isn't what the audience wants.
[21:40] Shizuka
Care for a little trip?
[21:42] Kokona
Huh?
[21:44] Shizuka
There's somewhere I want to go.
[21:46] Kokona
We can go after the audition—
[21:47] Shizuka
It has to be right now.
[21:51] Kokona
Shizuka-chan?

I think it was about when

I'll tell you what you're missing, Kokona.
[01:11] Kokona

[01:17] Shizuka
The great age of theater...
[01:20] Shizuka
This is the story of how to make
one girl's dream come true.
[01:39] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[02:57] Sign
Our Promise
[03:02] Shizuka
There was once a town
that was the beating heart of theater.
[03:06] Shizuka
A town where actors and actresses
played all kinds of roles,
[03:10] Shizuka
bringing countless stories to life.
[03:15] Shizuka
A certain young girl lived there as well.
[03:20] Shizuka
She loved picture books and the
stories her parents would tell her.
[03:25] Shizuka
Eventually, she would become a storyteller
too and try various roles herself.
[03:31] Kokona
That's...
[03:34] Shizuka
That was when the girl first saw...
[03:37] Shizuka
a production put on by
actors called Dai Stars.
[03:45] Shizuka
From that moment on,
she was captivated by the stage.
[03:51] Shizuka
She went to the theater over and over
[03:54] Shizuka
and reenacted the plays she saw there.
[03:57] Shizuka
Sometimes, she was a knight
who swore fealty to the king.
[04:01] Shizuka
Others, she was a young man madly in love.
[04:07] Shizuka
She'd get too into her role on occasion
[04:09] Shizuka
and cause trouble for the people around her.
[04:13] Shizuka
Those were fun and happy days for her...
[04:16] Shizuka
But they didn't last long.
[04:20] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
We're moving?
[04:23] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
Our house will be smaller than it is now?
[04:27] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
But why? What about theater?
[04:31] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
I see... The ocean?
[04:35] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
Yeah, that sounds fun.
[04:39] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
It's okay. I'll just go to see plays
by saving up my allowance.
[04:47] Shizuka
And so the girl arrived in a new town
where the sea and sky stretched out forever.
[04:51] Shizuka
The scenery was unfamiliar,
and so were the people.
[04:55] Shizuka
The theater was so far away,
[04:59] Shizuka
she had to take multiple trains to reach it.
[05:02] Shizuka
Her parents were busy and didn't
come home until late into the evenings.
[05:08] Shizuka
On top of that... she had trouble
making friends right away.
[05:17] Shizuka
She was bored to tears when she was alone.
[05:23] Kokona
That's right.
[05:26] Kokona
I...
[05:59] Shizuka
The little girl recalled the plays she'd seen
[06:03] Shizuka
and brought that dream world back to her,
one performance at a time.
[06:13] Shizuka
Day after day, she never tired of it.
[06:19] Shizuka
But being by yourself is a lonely thing.
[06:28] Shizuka
Then one day...
[06:38] Kokona
I remember now.
[06:40] Shizuka
We finally met.
[06:43] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Could you do that one more time?
[06:49] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You must like acting. I love it too!
[06:56] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Then let's do it together!
[07:01] Kokona
The first friend I made after moving here...
[07:06] Kokona
She wasn't anyone from school,
and I could only meet her here.
[07:11] Kokona
She loved acting,
knew all the plays I had seen,
[07:16] Kokona
and was a better actor than me.
[07:19] Shizuka
We always wanted the same roles,
and you'd always let me have them,
[07:23] Shizuka
just because you thought I'd play them better.
[07:29] Kokona
And my friend would always get mad.
[07:32] Kokona
She'd tell me I wouldn't be able to play
a part well if I kept lying about how I felt.
[07:38] Kokona
That's right...
[07:40] Kokona
How did I forget all of that?
[07:44] Shizuka
Maybe it was because
you couldn't control your Sense yet.
[07:49] Shizuka
Not to mention that this was
the stage we had to work with...
[07:54] Kokona
Stage... my Sense?
[08:04] Shizuka
I'm your Sense, Kokona.
[08:06] Shizuka
The partner you created because you
needed someone to perform with.
[08:17] Shizuka
And...
[08:19] Shizuka
The receptacle for the feelings you couldn't
sustain after you lost your confidence.
[08:26] Kokona
The feelings I couldn't sustain?
[08:31] Shizuka
I want to be on that stage.
[08:34] Shizuka
I want the best role.
I want to outshine everyone...
[08:40] Shizuka
Even if it means knocking other actors down!
[08:44] Shizuka
I'm totally better!
My performance was perfect!
[08:48] Shizuka
I want to be onstage more than anyone!
[08:51] Shizuka
So... why?!
[08:56] Shizuka
Why doesn't anyone see that?!
[08:58] Kokona
That's not what I—
[08:59] Shizuka
You did think it!
[09:01] Shizuka
I know your heart
better than anyone, Kokona.
[09:07] Shizuka
But it's okay to feel that way. You're an actor!
[09:11] Shizuka
Especially if you want
to become a World Dai Star.
[09:16] Shizuka
Don't forget those feelings.
[09:19] Shizuka
So...
[09:21] Kokona
Huh?
[09:24] Shizuka
I'm going to return these feelings to you.
[09:29] Shizuka
I can't take the stage,
so I shouldn't hold on to them.
[09:34] Kokona
No! I don't want them!
You keep them, Shizuka-chan!
[09:37] Kokona
I promise I'll play the roles
exactly how you tell me to!
[09:40] Shizuka
You can't beat Kathrina and the
others with half-hearted acting.
[09:48] Kokona
But... I'm scared.
[09:52] Kokona
This is too sudden...
[09:54] Kokona
Without you, Shizuka-chan, I...
[09:58] Shizuka
I told you from the start.
[10:00] Shizuka
This is the story of how you make
your dream come true, Kokona.
[10:05] Shizuka
I'm not the star, so my role ends here.
[10:11] Kokona
Shizuka-chan...
[10:20] Kokona
Shizuka-chan!
[10:22] Shizuka
I know you can make it happen, Kokona.
[10:25] Shizuka
I can't wait to see your Phantom.
[10:46] Kokona
Shizuka-chan...

Stella of the Theater:
[11:20] Sasuga
It's almost time for the audition.
[11:22] Panda
Yeah.
[11:25] Panda
Kathrin, how's your right eye doing?
[11:29] Kathrina
It's the worst.
[11:34] Niizuma
Kokona-san...
[11:37] Hiiragi
Are the four of you ready?
[11:40] Hiiragi
Kokona was supposed to go first,
[11:42] Hiiragi
but if she's not here in time,
she's not fit to play the role.
[11:45] Hiiragi
Kathrina, I know you're not in your
best condition, but are you ready?
[11:49] Kathrina
Yes, of course.
[11:53] Hiiragi
Then come up to the stage—
[11:55] Kokona
I'm sorry I'm late!
[12:01] Kokona
Please let me, Kokona Otori,
play the role of the Phantom.
[12:14] Hiiragi
You're always like this.
[12:17] Hiiragi
Kathrina, do you mind if Kokona goes first?
[12:20] Kathrina
That's fine. I'm the one who's
going to win in the end.
[12:24] Hiiragi
Kokona, you'll be docked
points for being late.
[12:28] Hiiragi
Do you still want to audition?
[12:30] Kokona
Yes! Please let me do this!
[12:56] Kokona (Phantom)
I always have the same dream...
[13:00] Kokona (Phantom)
I'm walking under the sun
with nothing to hide.
[13:07] Kokona (Phantom)
I can dine out like normal people do.
[13:10] Panda
This is the scene where
Christine takes off his mask
[13:11] Kokona (Phantom)
I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[13:13] Panda
and he becomes enraged but
also tells her how he feels.
[13:16] Kokona (Phantom)
No matter how unsightly I am...
[13:29] Shizuka
Being on a real stage was blinding.
[13:33] Shizuka
Kokona's growth was blinding.
[13:39] Shizuka
I want to be up there too.
[13:42] Shizuka
I wonder if I'll be able to stand on
that stage overflowing with light.
[13:50] Kokona (Phantom)
I still seek the light.
[13:54] Niizuma
There's no rage or resentment.
[13:56] Niizuma
This is how the Phantom
feels inside as a person.
[13:59] Kathrina
Pure admiration for the stage?
[14:02] Kathrina
To think she'd play the Phantom
with that look on her face...
[14:19] Kokona (Phantom)
I shall channel my rage into song!
[14:22] Kokona (Phantom)
As my heart wills!
[14:24] Kokona (Phantom)
So that I may forget my loneliness!
[14:30] Kokona (Phantom)
Music? It must be the opera.
[14:36] Kokona (Phantom)
I cannot stand the sound of it.
[14:39] Kokona (Phantom)
Let me play!
[14:41] Kokona (Phantom)
I'll give you a true opera!
[14:44] Kokona (Phantom)
It should be me!
[14:46] Niizuma
That's the anger and loneliness
Shizuka-san portrayed.
[14:46] Kokona (Phantom)
No, that's impossible...
[14:48] Kokona (Phantom)
I am but a shadow.
[14:51] Kokona (Phantom)
A hideous monster.

Are you crying?
[15:14] Kathrina
No!
[15:16] Kathrina
I gave that performance my all.
I have no regrets.
[15:19] Panda
The loneliness and rage of the Phantom
hiding deep within the opera house...
[15:22] Panda
I thought expressing that was the key to
showing the Phantom's fear and sadness.
[15:29] Niizuma
The variations of the
Phantom we tried to play
[15:32] Niizuma
are probably extensions
of Hiiragi-san's Phantom.
[15:37] Niizuma
I'm sure that she saw new
potential in Kokona-san.

[15:44] Sasuga
His heart's weakness, its purity...
The longing to step outside...
[15:50] Sasuga
The annoyance, jealousy, and sadness
of being denied what he wants...
[15:56] Sasuga
I'm surprised she played the role
in such a complex way.
[16:00] Panda
I wonder what happened.
[16:06] Niizuma
It must be... Shizuka-san...
[16:15] Shamo
Your Phantom was wonderful.
[16:18] Kokona
Shamo-san...
[16:19] Shamo
You don't look like an actor
who just got the role.
[16:23] Shamo
Seems you haven't been able
to shake off the Phantom yet.
[16:27] Kokona
I don't think I'll ever be able
to shake him off again.
[16:32] Kokona
That wasn't actually the Phantom.
[16:34] Kokona
It was the Shizuka-chan who
disappeared into my heart.
[16:38] Shamo
I see.
[16:41] Shamo
Is this really how an actor who wants
to become a Dai Star should be looking?
[16:46] Kokona
Huh?
[16:47] Shamo
Even after this production is done,
your time on stage won't come to an end.
[16:53] Shamo
I've watched many actors over
the years. That's how I know.
[16:59] Shamo
You still don't truly understand yourself.
[17:03] Shamo
To be on the stage
is to find yourself through acting.
[17:09] Shamo
Your Sense is born by facing the
brilliance that lies dormant within you.
[17:17] Kokona
Find myself...?
[17:21] Shamo
Why don't we go downstairs?
[17:28] Shamo
Have a seat.
[17:31] Kokona
Okay.
[17:34] Shamo
Close your eyes.
[17:40] Shamo
In front of you is your other self.
[17:44] Shamo
The person you need to talk to.
[17:48] Shamo
Go on, ask her. Ask her what
you want to do right now.
[17:54] Kokona
What I... want to do?
[18:12] Kokona
Why did I want to become
a World Dai Star again?
[18:17] Young Kokona
You even forgot something that important?
[18:22] Young Kokona
It's because you love the theater.
[18:24] Kokona
But that's not a rational thought to have.
[18:27] Kokona
They're, like, the best of the absolute best.
[18:30] Young Kokona
Well, you fell in love with them.
What can you do?
[18:35] Young Kokona
Besides, it's not just my dream.
[18:39] Kokona
Huh?
[18:41] Young Kokona
I would've lost hope if I'd been alone,
so I needed her.
[18:49] Young Kokona
Remember our promise.
[18:58] (Flashback) Young Kokona
It's no use. I've only ever
acted in front of my parents...
[19:04] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
It's always easy to find reasons
not to do something.
[19:07] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You know that, Kokona.
[19:10] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
What's important is how you feel!
How you feel, Kokona!
[19:13] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
What do you want to do?
[19:16] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Me?
[19:17] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
I'll give you some advice.
You need to say your dreams out loud.
[19:22] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Say you're going to make them come true
and make yourself believe it!
[19:25] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Make myself believe it? How?
[19:29] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
It's easy.
[19:31] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Just play the part of a girl with dreams!
[19:34] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Play the part?
[19:36] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Become her!
[19:38] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
All so you can make your dream come
true and become a World Dai Star.
[19:43] (Flashback) Young Kokona
What about you, Shizuka-chan?
[19:44] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Huh?
[19:45] (Flashback) Young Kokona
You're not going to be one, Shizuka-chan?
[19:50] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
You're going to become one for me too!
[19:57] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Okay.
[19:59] (Flashback) Young Kokona
I'm going to be a World Dai Star!
[20:02] (Flashback) Young Kokona
That's what I want to be!
[20:03] (Flashback) Young Kokona
If I can become one,
I know you'll be one too, Shizuka-chan!
[20:08] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Then someday...
[20:10] (Flashback) Young Kokona
Someday, let's take the stage together!
[20:19] (Flashback) Young Kokona
It's a promise!
[20:21] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
Yeah, it's a promise.
[20:31] Kokona
Someday, let's take the stage together...

I'm going to go rehearse with everyone...
[20:49] Kokona
so that I can see Shizuka-chan again!

Koko-chan...
[21:02] Kokona
I have to work hard for Shizuka-chan, too.
[21:06] Kokona
I need to make The Phantom of the Opera
a success so I can become a World Dai Star.
[21:13] Kokona
So...
[21:15] Kokona
Please help me out, everyone!
I need your help!
[21:23] Panda
The hell?!
[21:28] Panda
You got nothing to worry about!
We're your friends, after all.

The only thing that should

We'll rehearse with you lots!

You can have the role of the Phantom,
but this time, I'm going to upstage you!

You'd better be ready!
[21:50] Kokona
Kathrina-chan...
[21:52] Panda
You're so young and edgy, Kathrin.
[21:54] Sasuga
So edgy I might cut myself.
[21:56] Kathrina
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[21:58] Niizuma
That you're edgy.

No, really! What does that even mean?!

It's rare to hear you sound so unsure.
[01:56] Hiiragi
I can't get Kokona's
performance out of my head.
[02:00] Hiiragi
A Phantom of mixed yearning and hatred.
[02:05] Hiiragi
When they said Shizuka disappeared,
it became obvious.
[02:10] Hiiragi
Producing a World Dai Star here at SIRIUS...
[02:13] Hiiragi
That selfish desire of mine
may have taken the Sense...
[02:18] Hiiragi
may have taken Shizuka from Kokona.
[02:22] Hiiragi
But even so, I didn't recast
the play because I still wanted to see
[02:27] Hiiragi
the Phantom that Kokona would play.
[02:30] Hiiragi
Even if it means she loses her Sense.

Senses represent possibility.

Everyone at the opera house knows of him,

but no one has ever actually seen him.

of being my "ghost."

Now go and hide behind the curtain.

When I watch you play the Phantom,
it reminds me of Shizuka back then.

The clock begins to move; now rise, curtain

Like the Phantom who bestowed Christine
with his dreams and vanished.
[05:35] (Flashback) Sasuga
It'd be weird to have a Sense

Why...

Maybe this will refresh your memory...

I'm the boy who retrieved
your scarf from the ocean.
[07:28] Kokona
I've been able to take the stage because
it's where Shizuka-chan saw me off.
[07:31] Niizuma (Christine)
Raoul?! Is that you, Raoul?
[07:39] Niizuma (Christine)
Did you hear something just now?
[07:41] Kathrina (Raoul)
Hmm? No, nothing.
[07:47] Kokona
But I had no idea how Shizuka-chan felt.
[07:52] Kokona
So one more time...

[07:58] Kokona (Phantom)
You wanted to see me, didn't you?

Even fear...

It's not fair

My heart commits a taboo, aah

Wait... We didn't prepare
anything like that.
[09:07] [SONG] Lyrics
You are my angel
[09:10] [SONG] Lyrics
Two shadows overlap as this melody wavers
[09:15] Niizuma
This feeling... It was the
same way with Theresa-san.

I will swear myself to you for eternity

Even our sins can be hidden

Expressiveness polished
to the limit via one's Sense

the world they imagine.

I'm drowning...

I'm walking under the sun
with nothing to hide.
[09:53] Kokona (Phantom)
I can dine out like normal people do.
[09:57] Kokona (Phantom)
I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[10:03] Kokona (Phantom)
No matter how unsightly I am,
I still seek the light.
[10:11] Niizuma (Christine)
Is there anything wrong with that?
[10:17] Niizuma (Christine)
I'm sorry I was so startled earlier.
I won't run away again.
[10:23] Niizuma (Christine)
So please, show me your face once more.
[10:31] (Flashback) Kokona
I see.
[10:33] (Flashback) Kokona
I thought the Phantom
was being indifferent here
[10:36] (Flashback) Kokona
because he didn't want
to talk about the past, but...
[10:38] (Flashback) Shizuka
I don't think that's the only reason.
[10:40] (Flashback) Shizuka
I think he loves spending time with
Christine and wants to make the most of it.
[10:47] (Flashback) Shizuka
I realized that after hearing
your interpretation of the Phantom.
[10:50] (Flashback) Kokona
You really are amazing, Shizuka-chan!
[10:53] (Flashback) Shizuka
Again, you'll be the one
playing the part, Kokona.
[10:57] (Flashback) Kokona
Though it'd be the best if we
could perform together.
[11:13] Shizuka
Kokona...
[11:16] Sign
Stella of the Theater:
[11:24] Kokona
Shizuka-chan.
[11:30] Shizuka
Should the Phantom be here?
[11:34] Shizuka
You're not done yet, but it's
been a great performance so far.
[11:38] Shizuka
Far better than when
we rehearsed it together.
[11:42] Shizuka
You really could become
a World Dai Star, Kokona.
[11:46] Kokona
I will someday.
[11:50] Kokona
The truth is, somewhere deep inside,
I didn't think I could do it.
[11:55] Kokona
I was entirely self-taught before SIRIUS,
[11:58] Kokona
and at auditions, I always got told
I didn't have any Sense...
[12:02] Kokona
I didn't believe in myself.
[12:05] Kokona
That's why I forgot about you
and the promise we made.
[12:13] Kokona
But I believe now,
from the bottom of my heart.
[12:18] Kokona
Because we promised each other.
[12:20] Kokona
You can't make a promise without two people.
[12:26] Kokona
You said this was my story, Shizuka-chan...
[12:31] Kokona
But it's actually our story.
[12:50] Kokona
What do you want to do, Shizuka-chan?
[12:56] Young Kokona
Someday, let's take the stage together!
[13:03] Young Kokona
It's a promise.
[13:05] Young Shizuka
Yeah.
[13:06] Shizuka
It's a promise.
[13:12] Shizuka
I want to be up there...
alongside you, Kokona.
[13:17] Kokona
Let's go back to our stage!
[13:32] Kathrina (Raoul)
I will protect you.
[13:35] Kathrina (Raoul)
I will free you from that monster!
[13:42] Kathrina (Raoul)
I will become your light.
[13:50] Kokona (Phantom)
I'm the one who gave you music.
[13:54] Kokona (Phantom)
I'm the one who rekindled your passion.
[13:58] Kokona (Phantom)
And this is what I get in return?
[14:02] Kokona (Phantom)
I won't stand for this...
I will not tolerate it!
[14:06] Kokona (Phantom)
May divine punishment befall
those who betrayed me!
[14:26] Kokona (Phantom)
I've written both a wedding hymn
and a funeral's requiem!
[14:31] Kokona (Phantom)
I can play either!
[14:34] Niizuma (Christine)
Please stop...
[14:35] Kokona (Phantom)
Will we all die together, or will you
spend the rest of your life with me?
[14:40] Kokona (Phantom)
The choice is yours!
[14:41] Niizuma (Christine)
Stop!
[14:44] Niizuma (Christine)
I would've chosen you
even if you hadn't done all this.
[14:49] Kokona (Phantom)
You're lying!
[14:50] Niizuma (Christine)
I'm not!
[14:50] Kokona (Phantom)
That can't be true!
[14:52] Kokona (Phantom)
You ran away from me!
[14:54] Kokona (Phantom)
You saw my face and fled!
[14:58] Niizuma (Christine)
I was just startled at first.
[15:00] Niizuma (Christine)
I'll never fear you again.
[15:08] Niizuma (Christine)
Because you're the one who gave me music.
[15:13] Niizuma (Christine)
You're my angel of music.
[15:17] Niizuma (Christine)
And... you're not alone anymore.
[15:34] Kokona (Phantom)
Why did you kiss me?
[15:38] Niizuma (Christine)
Because I love you.
[15:47] Niizuma (Christine)
Raoul! Are you all right?!
[15:49] Kathrina (Raoul)
Yeah, I'm fine.
[15:52] Kathrina (Raoul)
Christine, do you really...
[16:00] Niizuma (Christine)
Everyone must be worried. Let's go.
[16:04] Niizuma (Christine)
If you could work up the courage
to take one step forward,
[16:07] Niizuma (Christine)
I think the people would understand you.
[16:12] Kokona (Phantom)
Christine... I have a request for you.
[16:17] Niizuma (Christine)
What is it?
[16:20] Kokona (Phantom)
Tonight, onstage, will you sing
this song that I wrote?
[16:25] Kokona (Phantom)
It's the song we used in our lessons.
[16:29] Niizuma (Christine)
I'll ask if they'll let me sing it
at the curtain call.
[16:34] Kokona (Phantom)
Thank you.
[16:36] Kokona (Phantom)
Viscount Raoul, take Christine back.
[16:39] Kokona (Phantom)
I must defuse the bomb I set up.
[16:42] Kathrina (Raoul)
All right, I will.
[16:48] Niizuma (Christine)
Phantom!
[16:50] Kokona (Phantom)
Erik... That's my real name.
[16:55] Niizuma (Christine)
Erik...
[16:57] Niizuma (Christine)
Erik, you'll come hear me sing, won't you?
[17:03] Kokona (Phantom)
I wouldn't miss it.
[17:22] Kokona (Phantom)
That's enough. I can't keep
her tied down any longer.
[17:33] Kokona (Phantom)
This is the first time in my life
I've ever been glad that I was born.
[17:43] Kokona (Phantom)
Thank you, Christine.
[17:45] Kokona (Phantom)
I love you from the bottom of my heart.
[17:49] [SONG] Lyrics
This music I just wrote is where my feelings
go when they have nowhere else to go
[17:59] [SONG] Lyrics
The faithful metronome continues
to carve an unchanging rhythm
[18:08] [SONG] Lyrics
Alone and unheard
[18:13] [SONG] Lyrics
This lonely yet free melody...
[18:21] [SONG] Lyrics
You're the only one who can give it flight...
[18:26] [SONG] Lyrics
Can you hear it?
[18:28] [SONG] Lyrics
Thank you, goodbye
[18:30] [SONG] Lyrics
I give you this farewell
song in parting, my beloved
[18:38] [SONG] Lyrics
This single red rose continues to
shine beautifully in my memories
[18:47] [SONG] Lyrics
Happiness, sadness
[18:50] [SONG] Lyrics
So that I never forget them,
I change my body and soul into music
[18:57] [SONG] Lyrics
These wavering days fall into the abyss,
proving that I was alive
[19:05] [SONG] Lyrics
Our eternity starts to play our end
[19:39] Chikage
That was amazing. For a moment there,
I forgot I was watching a play.
[19:45] Theresa
We're probably not the only ones who forgot.
[19:48] Theresa
I'm sure the performers did, too.
[19:50] Theresa
You've gained a wonderful rival, Kathrina.
[19:57] Hatsumi
My body is tingling?
[20:01] Hatsumi
SIRIUS really...
[20:02] Koyomi
My emotions are conflicted...
I'm moved but also anxious.
[20:07] Iroha
Phantom!
[20:09] Mito
That was such a lovely performance!
[20:14] Shamo
As long as there are actors,
there will always be plays.
[20:18] Shamo
As long as there are plays,
[20:20] Shamo
Senses will continue to evolve
and actors will shine bright.
[20:46] Shamo
Wanting to see that light might be
what brings people to the theater.
[20:55] Hiiragi
They are truly radiant.
[20:57] Shamo
You've only gotten started yourself, my dear.
[21:20] Niizuma
You flatter me.
[21:21] Panda
No, this is really amazing, Niizumacchi!
[21:24] Panda
You actually got chosen as a Dai Star!
[21:27] Sasuga
I want to sleep with it.
[21:29] Panda
That might actually bring good luck!
[21:31] Panda
Can we borrow it for a night?
[21:33] Niizuma
Nope.
[21:36] Kathrina
Why did Niizuma get it when Kokona's
the one who played the Phantom?
[21:40] Niizuma
During the play, I was able to channel
Christine from the bottom of my heart.
[21:44] Panda
Yeah, I get that.
[21:46] Panda
We totally got carried away
by Koko-chan's Sense.
[21:50] Sasuga
Being in The Phantom of
the Opera felt real nice.
[21:58] Kathrina
That's not what I meant.
[22:00] Panda
Anyway, I mean,
Koko-chan's already got quite a record.
[22:03] Panda
You don't need to get upset on her behalf.
[22:07] Kathrina
I-I-I'm not doing it for her!
[22:09] Kudo
Girls!
[22:10] Hiiragi
We've decided on our next production.
[22:12] Panda
Will there be another audition?
[22:15] Hiiragi
If you're overly disappointing,
I'll fail all of you.
[22:18] Niizuma
Then would you star instead, Hiiragi-san?
[22:21] Hiiragi
Well, if you're all that disappointing...
[22:26] Panda
Oh, come on. Surely you jest.
[22:29] Panda
This time, I'm going to be the star!
[22:31] Sasuga
I got myself some good luck.
[22:33] Panda
Hey, that's no fair, Sassu!
[22:35] Panda
Me too! Gimme some good luck!
[22:39] Niizuma
I hope it brings you great fortune.
[22:41] Hiiragi
Where are Kokona and Shizuka?
[22:49] Shizuka
It's so nice and cool...
[22:52] Kokona
Hey, won't we get in trouble for this?
[22:55] Shizuka
Kathrina is always using the stage
to rehearse, so we should be fine.
[23:00] Kokona
You think so?
[23:02] Kokona
I wonder what the next production will be.
[23:05] Shizuka
Whatever it is, we'll be the stars.
[23:08] Kokona
W-Wow, you're confident.
[23:10] Shizuka
Well, we decided we'd take it.
[23:29] Kokona
Yeah!
[23:31] Sign
Become World Dai
Stars together!!!!
[23:34] Sign
Become World Dai Stars together!!!!
[23:36] Kokona and Shizuka
The two of us together!
